Ecstasy and Intoxication
International workshop
25-27 October 2013
The Burn, Aberdeenshire,
"Intoxication" makes us see the world differently. Hence, to some, it is a condition for subjectivation: in order to become "self," one has to step out of it. Intoxication makes us human (Chrzan 2013: 11).
Along similar lines Johannes Fabian (2000b: 10, 2000a) has argued that ecstasy is a prerequisite for ethnographic knowledge. For Fabian, the experience of being outside discourse, of not being in control (or controlled) has an epistemological dimension. Following Fabian's lead, this workshop therefore aims to explore the role of ecstasy in field research. By ecstasy we refer to the "altered" state of mind related to the consumption of psychotropic substances (such as drugs, alcohol, or medication), but also to the altered perception as a result of dance, sports, or play (see Langer et al. 2006). Within the context of anthropological research, it may also refer to the ecstasy resulting from a real or imagined exceptional relationship between an ethnographer and his or her field. Unfortunately, the impact of emotions, friendship or sexuality on anthropological fieldwork and theorizing remains largely unaccounted for (but see Beatty 2010; Davies and Spencer 2010; McLean and Leibing 2007; Milton and Svazek 2005).
Therefore, this workshop focuses on what happens when anthropologists become intoxicated by alcohol or drugs; by the other; by desire, or by terror and disgust. More in particular, the workshop starts off with the following questions:
• Why is the ecstatic absent from most anthropological accounts? After all, from the informal conversations we have at dinner and after hours with our colleagues, we know how important ecstasy can be in determining the course of research and careers. See next.
• What is the impact of intoxication on anthropological research? Would the revelation of ecstatic states of mind be seen as a limitation and invalidation of anthropological findings? Or, conversely, how can we integrate it in our ethnography and analysis? Are the existing anthropological methods and theories adequate to capture the 'ecstatic' in the field? Why? Why not?
• Hence, how does one write about and account for ecstasy in field research (see, for instance, Taussig 2012)?
• And finally, what is the impact of ecstatic experiences on agency of anthropologists, on their research strategies, and on their reputation in the "field" and "at home"?
The workshop welcomes contributions from anthropologists who are willing to explore intoxication and the ecstatic in field research and analysis through a wide range of media and methodologies, including film, photography, sound, and fictional elements.

Experimental calorie restriction often improves protein metabolism by the variable elimination of cross-linked protein products (AGEs).
The restriction of calorie intake has been shown to exert powerful anti-aging benefits in several animal species; and it may be effective in humans. The act of substantial and continuous calorie restriction (at least 30% reduction) is a monumental task for many individuals' with obvious problems of compliance. There are several proposed or documented effects of calorie restriction on body structures and functions' including: insulin sensitization' apoptosis regulation' decreased oxidative stress' stimulation of endogenous growth factors' enhanced tissue repair' anti-stress actions and modulation of protein metabolism. Experimental calorie restriction often improves protein metabolism by the variable elimination of cross-linked protein products (AGEs)' as a consequence of down regulation of "chaperone molecules"' with resulting increase in hepatic protein elimination. Calorie restriction has been associated with reductions in total blood cholesterol and blood markers of inflammation; it causes improvements in glucose tolerance (anti-diabetic effect).
These beneficial effects of calorie restriction have been observed most often in animal experiments (including primates)' and they are the subject of contemporary research in humans. While many of these benefits of calorie restriction are related to reduction of adipose tissue mass' other complex factors operate. The concept of "calorie restriction mimetics" was proposed in the late 1990s and this resulted in several basic science experiments that have demonstrated the effects of calorie restriction in animals on promoting substantial extensions of lifespan in animals by effects on gene pathways. Several drugs' nutrients or botanicals have been proposed as agents that can mimic the effects of calorie restriction' in a variable manner.
A number of examples of calorie restriction mimetics have variable beneficial effects on glucose metabolism and they can modulate genes that are involved in mechanisms of aging' e.g. resveratrol and apoptosis regulation' the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide in the activation of Sir2p and the restoration of gene activity (daf-2 and age-1) in nerve cells. Well-defined examples of calorie-restriction mimetics include: resveratrol' gymnema alkaloids' alpha lipoic acid' cinnamon (methylhydroxychalones)' indoacetate' oxaloacetate' metformin and thiazolidinediones.
While calorie restriction mimetics may appear to focus on the issue of calorie restriction per se' it is clear that these agents match the potential correction of several hypotheses of aging (e.g. theories of free radical damage' protein cross linking' repair budgets' anti-inflammatory approaches' dysglycemia etc). In brief' calorie restriction mimetic factors are a unique class of agents that are biological response modifiers. The synergistic use of calorie restriction mimetic factors is a logical approach to attempt to retard tissue aging' and it has an evidence-based perspective. While it is naïve to think that there is a "magic bullet" approach to anti-aging2' the adjunctive use of remedies of natural origin as recuperative or anti-aging factors has an established basis in good scientific agreement.
Calorie Restriction Mimetics™contains a proprietary blend of substances that are classified in this new group of potential agents that may alter body structures and functions associated with aging.

When attempting to use algsubs with a subscripted expression involving powers I am running into a problem.
I have assigned a numerical value to n, and I have a symbol subscripted with n+1 and raised to a power.
In the original expression I have a factor of the form: P^q + R_n^q which I should like to replace with the symbol B.
> n:= 2
> P^q + R_(n+1)^q
> algsubs(P^q + R_(n+1)^q = B, %)
This last input leads to the error message:
Error, (in algsubs) no variables appearing rationally in pattern.
If I attempt to use algsubs on a subscripted symbol which is not raised to a power, the result works. Is there a cure?
Thanks in advance.

Guilfoyle Sacco repeat as Senior men s champions at U S Beach NationalsMike Morone attempts to throw Collin Martin in their 174-pound match. Morone won the gold medal
ROCHESTER, N.Y. - A pair of Senior men wrestlers won U.S. Beach Nationals wrestling title for the second straight year, with victories at Ontario Beach Park on Saturday.
Repeat Beach National champions were unattached Brian Guilfoyle at 157 pounds and Jamison Sacco of Western New England at heavyweight.
Guilfoyle won all three of his bouts, including a 2-0 victory over runner-up Warner Bouzek of Team Garth. He was a champion last year at 155 pounds.
Sacco stopped unattached Michael Delaney, 2-0, in their championship bout. Sacco competes for Western New England College. Sacco won the 298-pound title last year at the U.S. Beach Nationals.
Mike Morone won a loaded 174-pound division on the Senior level. The top three wrestlers finished with a 1-1 record in the roundrobin, but Morone was declared champion by having the most classification points in the roundrobin. Placing second was 2009 U.S. Beach World Team member Ben Johnstone of RIT, and placing third was 2010 U.S. Beach Nationals champion Collin Martin. Morone was a Veterans champion at the Beach Nationals last year.
Jason Goldman of the Finger Lakes WC, a 2011 USA Wrestling Veterans Nationals champion and a two-time Div. III All-American for Binghamton, won the 151 pound division with four victories.
Other individual Senior men's champions were Michael Gentilcore of Oswego State at 164 pounds, Mark Collins of Victor WC at 187 pounds and Oleksandr Ievitushenko of the Brooklyn WC at 208 pounds.
Winning a U.S. Women's Beach Nationals title for the second straight year was Brittney Gearing of Ontario, Canada at 156 pounds. Two other Women's champions were from Ontario, Canada, 124 - Cierra Carere at 124 pounds and Louise Ward at 135 pounds. The other women's champion was Donna Rosen at 169 pounds.
Repeating as a Beach Nationals champion in the Junior division was unattached Tristan Hammer at 165 pounds. He was a champion last year at 160 pounds.
Two athletes claimed gold medals in both the Junior and Cadet divisions. Sam Jagas of Ontario, Canada won the Junior 125-pound title and the Cadet 120-pound title. Hobie Strassner of Webster Schroeder was the Junior 140-pound champion and the Cadet 137-pound champion.
On Sunday, the Senior International Beach Cup will be held, alongside the National High School Beach Duals.

Migrate mailing lists to Google Groups
You can migrate your existing mailing lists (email groups) on an LDAP server to Google Groups, using either the Google Apps Directory Sync (GADS) or Admin SDK's Directory API.Google Apps Directory Sync
Use GADS to create new groups for any mailing lists on your LDAP server that you want to use with your organization's G Suite account. GADS synchronizes only groups and their memberships, not the contents or settings of the groups.
GADS provides a one-way synchronization, so you can continue to maintain your groups on your LDAP server and then synchronize them with Google Groups periodically.
How synchronization works
Synchronization works only with groups that were created in the Google Admin console—that is, groups that either an administrator added directly or GADS migrated from your LDAP server. If the Groups for Business service is enabled, GADS (version 1.6.12 or later) ignores user-created groups.
Each time you run GADS, it:
- Overwrites the members list, owner, and description for groups that also exist on your LDAP server, but ignores the access settings for these groups
- Deletes groups that don't also exist on your LDAP server
However, you can create exclusion rules in GADS to prevent it from overwriting or deleting specific groups.
If Groups for Business is enabled
Each time you run GADS, it:
- Ignores all groups that users or administrators created using the Groups for Business user interface
- Ignores any group's discussion archives and all settings that are available only in the Groups for Business service interface
- Doesn't add any groups you created on your LDAP server that have the same address as a group that a user already created
If the Groups for Business is enabled, make sure you're using GADS 1.6.12 or later. Otherwise, when you run GADS it will:
- Delete any groups your users created
- Remove users from any groups they subscribed to
Use this Directory API to create your own tool to synchronize mailing lists on your LDAP server with G Suite. This option requires programming expertise.
Groups you migrate to Google Groups receive the following access settings that you can edit after migration:
- Who can view: All members of the group.
- Listing: Do not list this group.
- Who can view members: Only managers and owners can view the group members list.
- Who can join: Anyone in the organization can ask to join.
- Allow External Members: Disallowed.
- Who can post messages: Anyone from your domain can post..
- Allow posting from the web: Allowed.
- Who can invite new members: Managers and owners only
- Message moderation: No moderation.
- Message archival: Archive is disabled.
- Allow External Email: Disallowed.
If Groups for Business is enabled, the Groups for Business sharing settings apply to all migrated groups.

Any reason to choose one over the other in a bolt gun? Main use would be hunting deer sized game.

Not really, for deer hunting. The .308 has very slightly less recoil, a slightly shorter bolt throw, and the the 30-06 has a slightly better variety of common loads. Neither is a big deal for deer hunting. I would just get whichever I could find the best deal on!
October 11, 2008, 11:02 PM
A deer wont't really care if he is killed by a .30-06 or a .308. Get the one you want.
The .308 is popular now, but the 06 is a classic cartridge that every one should own.
Now the only reason I see to get the 308 over the 06 would be if I wanted an AR-10 also & wanted common ammo.
October 11, 2008, 11:10 PM
...I got one of each. Bought the .308 first. It'll do pretty much anything a 30.06 will do with a 150g bullet. The 30.06 is better for bullets upwards of 180g
I bought the 30.06 for precisely the reason mentioned above. It's a classic that everyone should own. Plus I had a bunch of 30.06 brass lying around and I reload....
...plus, I like .30 caliber bolt action rifles

October 11, 2008, 11:28 PM
30.06 all the way!
If you can't kill it with a 30.06
you can't kill it
October 11, 2008, 11:30 PM
30.06 all the way!
If you can't kill it with a 30.06
you can't kill it
You sure? =)
October 11, 2008, 11:32 PM
ammo selection and price is slightly in the 06'es favor
But honestly it's so close I would shop more with the individual rifle in mind. Just buy the gun you like best and don't sweat the caliber
October 11, 2008, 11:32 PM
Not enough difference between the two to really matter. With lighter bullets, (150gr. and less), they have nearly identical ballistics. With heavier bullets, (180gr or more), the 06 has a slight advantage. The .308 can use a short action and can get by with a slightly shorter barrel. The 06 kicks a little more. The thing to notice here though are the words "slight" and "little", because for a hunting rifle that's all the difference you're talking about.
Personally, I prefer the .308, but if a similar rifle in 30-06 were $50 cheaper I'd probably get it instead.
October 11, 2008, 11:44 PM
The 308 can be had in a smaller package (shorter barrel) that will still give 100% of its advertised performance.
You can whack the barrel off on a 30-06 too...but then its weaker than the 308. The 30-06 needs a long barrel to burn all that slow burning powder.
The 308 can do its job with a 20 inch barrel....it uses medium burn rate powders.
There is VERY, VERY little difference between them...and there is no deer that is going to know which one you shot him with as long as you make a good hit.

GUYS please buy a $100 chronograph so you can stop repeating these tired old gun rag myths from the 70's
With the same bullet weights 308 and 30-06 pretty much use the SAME powders with their top preforming loads.
A 30/06 load that's faster than a 308 load in a 24" bbl will still be faster in a 20"tube. Just like a 300wm in a 20"bbl will be faster than both
and lastly all the powder that is going to burn in a rifle cartridge will have done so in the first few inches of bbl if the opposite were true rifle caliber handguns wouldn't work at all. As evidenced by the fact that the fastest loads for a 24" rifle are still the fastest loads for a 14" encore handgun utilizing the same powders

Since the .308 has about 20% less recoil and you only lose about 5% in velocity, compared to the 30-06, I'd go with the .308.
October 12, 2008, 12:20 AM
Since the .308 has about 20% less recoil
LOL what the heck ever! Have you shot both in a similar rifle? You literally cannot tell the difference. Same bullet same velocity 20% recoil......since when did Winchester suspend newtons 3 law of motion
Where do you 308 guy's get this stuff?

October 12, 2008, 12:25 AM
It's a toss-up, as others have posted.
As the .30-06 is the most common caliber for the Garand, it's a short step to getting one of those...so save your brass! ( :) )

With the same loads outta the same platform? :eek:
I have never heard that? You sure about that?
Last time I checked a 150gr going 2600fps outta a 8lb rifle kicked the same no matter what "cal" it came out of. Maybe I missed something in physics class somewhere along the line, but some how I don't think so.

Either will work for deer sized game.
30-06 will work with everything from 110gr to 220gr bullets making it suitable for anything from coyotes to moose.
.308 is incredibly accurate and it hard to beat with 155-175gr bullets.
There are some things you might want to consider besides deer sized game.
Ease of finding and cost of buying ammo. Types and weights of available bullets from commerical makers. Weither or not you plan on reloading and the cost of componets.
The difference is probably slight but it might help.

what the heck happened?
October 12, 2008, 01:47 AM
"...suitable for anything from coyotes to moose..." So is the .308, .270, .280, etc, etc.
Ballistically, the .30-06 and .308 are identical. Using the same Remington factory 165 grain Premier AccuTip bullet, there's 78fps difference and 105 ft-lbs of energy at 500 yards, in favour of the .30-06, and the case length. The '06 can use a 20 grain heavier max bullet weight(220 vs 200), but that really means nothing. Both give the best accuracy using 165 grain hunting bullets and/or 168 or 175 grain match bullets.
"...the .308 has about 20% less recoil..." That's nonsense.
The .308 lets you use a shorter action. If that matters to you.

October 12, 2008, 02:48 AM
Both overlap and the differences are as follows:
.308 = short throw bolt
.30-06 = long throw bolt
No big whoop.
The case is larger on the .30-06, so realize that for any given bullet weight, the .30-06 is POTENTIALLY faster. This means that while in factory loadings a 150g round may be the same in fps, as a reloader you can kick up the velocity in the .30-06 more than you can with the .308.
You pretty much run out of steam on the heavier bullets with the .308, so if you want to shoot elk with 200g bullets, the .30-06 is your caliber, its got a bigger engine.
Either way, they prety much do the same thing in the same way, save for heavier bullets where the .30-06 shines.
October 12, 2008, 03:34 AM
lets say a .308 is a V-6 Mustang
and a 30-06 is a V-8 Mustang...
both will go at 100mph just fine...but the V-8 will have more horsepower...
October 12, 2008, 04:15 AM
Uhh, the 30-06 does kick more, I have a Mauser 30-06 that weighs a few pounds more than my Mossberg 308 and the -06 definitely has more kick shooting the same grain bullet, both have nice cushy pads on them so it don't matter to me.
October 12, 2008, 05:09 AM
Those are not tired old facts from the 70's, I have 3 chrono's and know how to use them.
I also have a 308 T/C Contender...and it does not get its best speed with RL 15 like my rifles do...it does MUCH better with AA2230.
And the 30-06 does use slow powders...so do all of its offspring (25-06, 270, 280, etc), and they need a longer barrel to get up to speed...we've had this argument before...
I worked up a load for a friend who had a chopped 30-06...a T/C Encore in 30-06 with a 15 inch barrel, and I know for a fact that my 308 Encore with a 14 inch barrel was 100 FPS faster in all bullet weights with any powder made...H4895 was best for the 30-06 (thats a medium burn rate powder) and AA2230 is best in the 308 (thats a VERY fast burning powder)
I'm on my way out to see if I can find Bambi's daddy....more when I come back.

I have taken deer with both the .308 (spanish mauser) and the .30-06(winchester mod 70). Both deer were dead on the spot.
October 12, 2008, 08:09 AM
and lastly all the powder that is going to burn in a rifle cartridge will have done so in the first few inches of bbl if the opposite were true rifle caliber handguns wouldn't work at all. As evidenced by the fact that the fastest loads for a 24" rifle are still the fastest loads for a 14" encore handgun utilizing the same powders
Really? Is that why the military is having so much trouble with the M-4 developing enough velocity for the 5.56 round to fragment properly?
I wish people wouldn't keep distributing these same old tired internet myths....
October 12, 2008, 08:18 AM
I load and shoot both. Tend to favor the .308 in semi autos (FAL - M14S) and the 30-06 for bolt actions (FN Mauser, 03, 03A3, P17), with the exception of the Garand. Use a 180g bullet in bolt action 30-06, 150g for .308.
October 12, 2008, 08:27 AM
I don't know where some of these guys are getting their ammo but I have several rifles in each caliber and the 06 shoots equal bullet weights a bit faster and in identical guns has a bit more recoil. The difference is small but real.
I like both and if deer sized animals are all you plan to hunt both are really overkill. If there is a possibility of game larger than deer I like the 06 because it will handle heavier bullets.
For target shooting I shoot my .308's a bit better and the difference in recoil could be part of the reason. I can still get .308 ammo a bit cheaper than any 30-06 I have been able to find.
I could not decide and ended up several of each. If forced to keep only one gun it would be the 30-06.
October 12, 2008, 10:07 AM
I have several rifles in 30-06 none in 308. Reason, back in 1963 Dad won a Win Mod 70 featherweight in 30-06 in a sales contest and gave to me, hence my longtime affair with the '06.
Friends in national guard also gave me a lot of ammo, they had more of that than of 308.
If that first rifle had been a 308, the other 30-06's would probably have been in 308.
For practical use I do not see that much difference. Look at bullets available, loading manuals to see what you can do with them, and consider what you are to be hunting.
Like most folks say, unless you are to hunt larger animals, moose, elk, bears other thant black bear, the 308 will be more than adequate. If you go for the larger animals and need the heavier bullets, then go with the '06 as it has a slight edge.
October 12, 2008, 10:18 AM
I have both. However, I tend to prefer the 30-06. In Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, and Florida, there is really no difference. However, the 30-06 can accept a greater variety of bullets and so is technically more versatile for a one-gun person. Me, I have 243, 308, 30-06, and 7mm Mag. I have my bases covered no matter what.
But my first was a 30-06.

Up to a 150-165 grain slug, with both calibers working at max SAMMI pressures, there isn't a lick of difference in thier potential. The individual chamber/barrel in question will be the deciding factor.
150-165 grain out of either caliber is an EXCELLENT choice for deer. So which ever you find first in a gun that fits you, in your price range.
Around my neck of the woods there is a slight advantage in ammo avalibility favoring the '06.
Now, if there's an elk or moose hunt in your future? The '06 handles the heavier 180-200 grainers MUCH better.

Granted, I'm comparing different rifles of different weight here, but according to my Lee shooter program, the recoil difference between the 30-06 and .308 is significant. In my dad's 7lb Browning 30-06, with a 165 grain load, it shows 20 ft lbs recoil. In our Remmy 700 tactical, 20" heavy barrel, .308, which weighs in at about 8 lbs, it show's a recoil energy of about 16 ft lbs.
That's right at 20% less recoil energy.:neener:
By the way, when I shoot both of these rifles, I can definitely tell the difference. 20 rounds from the 30-06 and my shoulder is feeling it. 40 rounds out of the .308 and I'm still doing fine.
October 12, 2008, 12:35 PM
Really? Is that why the military is having so much trouble with the M-4 developing enough velocity for the 5.56 round to fragment properly?
I wish people wouldn't keep distributing these same old tired internet myths....
Because the rapidly expanding gasses from the BURNT powder don't have as much time to push on the base of the bullet in a short barrel.
If what you say were true you could simply load 5.56 with a faster powder and not lose any velocity in a shorter barrel. BUT IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!
And the 30-06 does use slow powders...so do all of its offspring (25-06, 270, 280, etc), and they need a longer barrel to get up to speed...we've had this argument before...
I use the same can of varget to load 30-06 and 308 with the same bullet weights and get the same top levels of performance. There aren't many 30-06 loads that utilize powders as slow as the other cartridges you cite, 270 and 25/06 really shine with IMR 4831 this powder is far too slow for top preformance in 30/06 when shooting the same weight range of projectiles as 308
XD-40 Shooter
October 12, 2008, 12:41 PM
Another advantage to the .308, you can get full velocity out of a 20" barrel, its a very efficient cartridge. SWAT teams have even gone down to 18" barrels with only 30 fps velocity loss.
The .308 will handle Elk sized game out to 200 yards, its not ideal, but it'll get the job done. Just make sure you've got a good 180 grain bullet.
October 12, 2008, 12:51 PM
Still, 30-06 is more versatile. The 308 may be just as good in most circumstances, but the 30-06 can do more. 308 might work for Elk, but 30-06 works better.
Now, SWAT uses are not really useful in the discussion for a hunting rifle. The kind of rifle used by a precision sniper can be used in hunting, but it is not a hunting rifle and few would say it is ideal for that role. Therefore, the cartridge selection is not really all that useful, either.
As used by SWAT, the 30-06 is slightly less accurate, or at least it is on paper, and so the 308 has the advantage. But in hunting, any potential advantage the 308 provides to SWAT teams is outweighed by the advantages in hunting the 30-06 provides.
In either case, the 308 or the 30-06 will do just about anything you need in North America. While there is a real difference, the difference may make no difference at all.
October 12, 2008, 01:31 PM
it supposedly takes about 1.5 milliseconds for a bullet to get out the end of the barrel
as you can see from this pressure trace by half that distance almost 50% of the pressure has bled off by 2/3 way down the bbl this is due to the ever increasing volume it has to fill as the bullet progressed down the bore. You can also quite clearly see the point where the powder charge gets converted into a very high pressure charge of gasses at the peak pressure event. Everything past that point is simply the bullet getting pushed out of the way so those gasses can get to where they want to go, IE atmospheric pressure after the bullet leaves the muzzle
Guns don't work like rockets, the propellant must be converted to gas VERY rapidly for a firearm to preform at all.
John Barnsess wrote a great article about this and other handloading myths for the July 2002 issue of handloader magazine
October 12, 2008, 01:53 PM
30 06 has an advantage in velocity which will help with longer shots but .308 are short actions(the receiver is shorter) and function better with shorter barrels which can amount to a 1/2 to 1 lb weight savings and shorter barrels make for quicker pointing rifles, both important factors if you are in the woods.

You are also missing the major difference in platforms. Different ergonomics result in different "felt recoil". With the same bullet, loaded to the same velocities, out of the same platform there is no difference in recoil from two 30 cal rifles. Using differing loads out of different platforms of course there will be a difference!
October 12, 2008, 02:05 PM
.30-06-----because the CMP doesn't have any 7.62 NATO to sell you for 26 cents a round--and NO ONE else does either.
And owing to the specifics of ATF regs AP m2 in .06 is LEGALLY sporting ammo that can be sold without restriction. Not true of AP loaded in a 7.62 case. You're rolling your own on that.
These reasons and all the above named ones. .308 is fine, but .06 has a slight edge in terms of subtle extremes of performnace admitedly on the edge of the 'but who CARES' curve.
If we were suddenly awash in cheap .308, then I'd say go for it.
But for now the King is still King of the Center fire world and not seeming ready to abdicate in favor of the (also venerable) Crown Prince.

Comparing the same remington SPS a 30-06 weighs 7 3/8 pounds, a 308 tips the scales at 7 1/4 lbs.
The differences is a whopping 1/8th of a pound
the OAL length of a 30/06 is a mere 7/8 of an inch longer than the same 308 sps.
Let's keep it real here, if action length and handling were that important we'd all be hunting with break action single shots. After all an encore with a 28" barrel is shorter overall than a rem700 with a 22" tube
October 12, 2008, 02:19 PM
Not this argument again.
XD-40 Shooter
October 12, 2008, 03:30 PM
TCB, I agree. In the same weight rifle/platform, the recoil would be about the same for 30-06 and .308. As far as cheap ammo is concerned, wideners.com has surplus yugo .308 FMJ for $99/200 rounds. Wideners claims they have fired this stuff and its good ammo.
By the way, I don't hunt, I just enjoy long range paper punching. I really like the .308 for this purpose. The Remmy 700 SPS tactical is a really sweet rifle.
October 12, 2008, 03:48 PM
any reason to chose one over the other
For deer hunting, not really. For Elk, I picked the '06 to stay in a comfotable margin of velocity with heavier bullets. The '06 is very slightly more versatile with heavier 30cal projectiles. Higher case capacity in the '06 allows higher velocity within the same margins of pressure safety.
The rifle I was thinking of had identical weight in both calibers, despite the action length differences - go figure.
Where I live, 30-06 ammo can be had more often for less cash in most places, but that was only a consideration while I was shooting factory ammo to get brass and practice at the same time, since I reload.
In the rifle I was looking at the '06 will handle heavier bullets well, since I can seat the projectile close to the lands and still have room in the magazine.
Recoil may be differnt in different rifls, but it's so subjective as to be ignored. Neither is uncomfortable, especially fitted with a good after market recoil pad.
The differences are all in the details, which limits any practical difference to nil, unless you're looking for something specific.
October 12, 2008, 03:53 PM
Many rifles do 308 in a short action but there are a tremendous number of 308's out there in standard actions and for them there is no difference in length of throw. However, even in those rifles where length of throw is different, if that short distance is enough to make a difference, you probably should not have taken the shot in the first place.
In any case, the first shot cares little what length action it comes out of.
October 12, 2008, 04:03 PM
The reason i chose the 308. is because i wanted a shorter action thats one of the few reasons the 300-06 has a wider selection of ammo
Vern Humphrey
October 12, 2008, 04:13 PM
As I have pointed out, factory loads in the .30-06 are held to a bit lower pressure than the .308, or to put it another way, the .308 does what it does by being loaded to higher pressure than the .30-06.
Now, if your .30-06 is something other than a low-number Springfield, you can load it to the same pressure as a .308 and gain around 1-200 fps.
October 12, 2008, 04:15 PM
get the .30-06 you can always download to .308 standards. When you decide you want to run a 220 gr bullet you still have the option.
October 12, 2008, 04:21 PM
If it strictly for deer, not elk or moose, think about the .243 win, incredible ballistics, cheap ammo, very accurate, flat shooting, and can double as a cheap varmint round.

They're both wonderful cartridges and you won't be disappointed with either choice. Arguing over which is better is pointless and exhausting.
October 12, 2008, 05:59 PM
either or. i would get the .308 if it is your first big-cal rifle. the .308 is easier to control though. good luck, and go with remington 700.
October 12, 2008, 07:04 PM
I"ve been going back & forth on this one myself.
I've settle w/ the 30-06 because of the variety of ammo & the idea that I can take bigger game if I put myself in that situation
Ben Shepherd
October 12, 2008, 07:11 PM
So basically, what everyone's saying is either will work well. AND the thread has stayed civil so far.;)
Basically, for deer only, the rifle being what YOU want is a more important choice than which of these 2 calibers.
Let us know what you pick. I imagine we're all pretty curious....
October 12, 2008, 07:35 PM
I agree with you on some of that....powder has to burn to release its energy, but different powders release that energy at different rates of speed (burn rates).
You mentioned Varget and top levels of performance...You will get more speed from RL19, IMR4831, N550.
If you don't believe barrel length and powder burn rate go hand in hand, all you have to do is look at Sierras single shot handgun load data...they list 6 powders for the handgun loads...For the rifle data, they list 21 powders, with the slower powders giving the best velocity.
Some powders are more versatile than others, and Varget is one of them. Varget's burn rate varies depending on load density...In my experience, the hotter the load, the slower it burns.
Reloder 15 (my personal favorite) is also versatile...even more so than Varget. It gives good results out of short or long barrels.
And you're right...I used a bad example (25-06, 270) because they do use very slow powders. But I still stand by what I said, slower powders like RL 19 will give better results (more speed) than the fast ones in 30-06. RL19 in a short 308 don't do so good....
With powders that are ideal for it, the 308 can get up to 2750 FPS with 168 grain bullets out of a 20 inch barrel.
I like the 30-06, I have 2 of them...but the 308 is better in shorter rifles. Its a more efficient round...it nearly matches the 30-06, and does it with several grains less powder. Its also easier on barrels (because of the lighter powder charges).
We are both right...we just don't agree on it.:)

October 12, 2008, 07:43 PM
Either will work fine. Out of the 2, I would go with the .06 .
Take a look at the 6.5x55 also for a GP hunting caliber.
October 12, 2008, 08:04 PM
I think we're arguing the same things but from different sides. and I beleive it just depends on where you get your data
I like to cite Hodgon's data center and according to thier data almost across the board the top performer is Varget for 150 to 168g bullets for both cartridges in handguns and rifles.
It's also true that when you drop down to handgun length barrels 308 does begin to have a slight velocity edge, but again this is in a 14" barrel not 20" tubes. I also believe this isn't a direct result of burn rate but rather a more basic function of 308's higher pressure rating.
I believe case capacity, bore case ratio and pressure rating have much more of a bearing on optimum burn rates than bbl length
October 12, 2008, 08:06 PM
"Any reason to choose one over the other in a bolt gun? Main use would be hunting deer sized game."
The .308 is a short-action caliber and that may provide you with a little more flexibility in mounting a scope.
With that said - both of them are more blast, recoil and power than anyone needs for hunting deer-sized or elk-sized game.
October 12, 2008, 08:16 PM
Glad we worked that out...
My "go to" data is Sierra...but the reason I say RL 15 will get more speed is from experience...I've tried them all in 308 and nothing will get more speed out of a 308. (loaded to 62k psi...RL15 is at the slow end of the medium burn rate powders)
For 30-06 (22 and 24 inch barrels), again ...from experience, there are 2 powders that give the best speed...RL19 and IMR 4831. (loaded to 60k psi) (as a point of interest...RL15 also does better than Varget in the 30-06...its burn rate is a tad slower than Varget)
The reasons I prefer slower powders are (1) they give more speed and (2) I greatly prefer high load density...105% if I can get it. I like my cases full.
I also use QuickLoad to get load data...it has saved me a small fortune in unused powder.
October 12, 2008, 08:30 PM
I can only say about the comment that the .308 has 20% less recoil, that they can't have been shot from the same platform. That means the same maker and model, just a caliber change, same barrel length etc.
I can see someone making the remark after shooting two different guns. What the shooter hasn't realized is that stock design has a large effect upon percieved recoil. So does platform weight. For instance; take six rounds of .338 Winchester magnum factory ammo, 225 grain let's say. Shoot three rounds offhand out of a Ruger stainless synthetic boat-oar stocked gun. Then shoot the other three rounds out of damn near anything else. But, to name names, let's use a Browning stainless stalker.
I confidently predict that you will experience notably different recoil "impressions" from the two platforms. Even "lasting" impressions as it were.
Grin - 900F
October 12, 2008, 08:38 PM
Ok...I'll throw in my 2 cents worth on the recoil. From the same platform, firing the same bullets...the 308 will kick less because it uses a smaller powder charge...it won't be a huge difference, but its a difference none the less.
October 13, 2008, 12:02 AM
I believe case capacity, bore case ratio and pressure rating have much more of a bearing on optimum burn rates than bbl length
I forgot to offer my thoughts on that...so here they are.
Everything in that phrase works together, that's what makes the 308 (and a few others) an "efficient" round.
It may be an old, worn out subject...but its fun to debate anyways...this is how we learn and educate others at the same time.
October 13, 2008, 08:20 AM
Any reason to choose one over the other in a bolt gun?
Assuming you reload and will be either shooting LR or hunting big game (large bears, elk, moose, etc.), go with the .30-06. Here is my .30-06 LR load:
Lapua or LC M72 Match brass
190SMK bullet
Fed 210M primer
60.7gr RL22 powder
30MOA from a 100 yard zero to 1k.
Main use would be hunting deer sized game.
Pick the rifle that fits you better, as both cartridges are suitable for deer sized game.
October 13, 2008, 08:59 AM
OP asked:Any reason to choose one over the other in a bolt gun? Main use would be hunting deer sized game.Short answer: No, if you are asking about differences in performance on deer-sized game. I'd give a slight edge to the .30-06 for larger game, as it handles heavier bullets better. That said, my personal choice was a .308 for deer. I wanted a small, carbine-length rifle for woods carry and settled on a Remington Model Seven. Because the .308 cartridge has a shorter OAL, you can use a shorter action; it's more about being handy than light weight. To me, that gives the edge to the .308.
Both are great cartridges. Eventually, you'll probably want both. If I could have only one medium caliber rifle, I'd probably opt for the .308. Nice to have both, though.
Vern Humphrey
October 13, 2008, 09:04 AM
I'd say the 7mm-08 is a fine contender in the deer hunting game -- all the slight advantages of the .308 (such as shorter action) and flatter shooting with less recoil.

Someone who doesn't reload is probably just as well off with a .308 as an '06, for deer hunting. Odds are, a handloader can have more fun with an '06 than a .308, just because of the variety of "games" to play. Squirrel loads, plinkers, heavy bullets, etc. And, with a 24" to 26" barrel, a couple or three hundred ft/sec more muzzle velocity.
But Bambi won't care about all that.

For my needs the '06 won out, but I shoot 180gn SPRN since they have tumbled every deer I've hit and they did not get up again.
Doubt you can go wrong with either one, just do your research, pick up the gun you want to buy and if possible, shoot it before you put cash on the barrelhead.

Nope. For that use, there's not gonna be a lick of difference - EXCEPT, factory ammo is cheaper in .30-'06, but it comes at the price of ever-so-slightly increased recoil. So throw a dart and pick one - you will be happy. I guess if you are toting it long distances as a "mountain gun" and thus want to go for an ultra-light rifle, the .308's action length shaves off 1/4 to 1/2 lb. Personally, I'd go .30-'06, but just because I like to light a fire under Shawnee. :p

Sylvia Plath was a minor confessional American poet when she killed herself on a cold February day in 1963 in London. She subsequently became a cult heroine, and her autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, became a rite of passage for young women. The film picks up Plath's life in 1953 when she is a scrubbed golden girl at Smith College, then follows her through a summer as a guest editor of Ladies'Day (in real life Mademoiselle), a gruesome suicide attempt and a nervous breakdown. Marilyn (The Other Side of the Mountain) Hassett plays the anti-heroine and hits as many highs and lows in acting as Plath did in life. Her performance is at times embarrassingly amateurish, at others beautifully sensitive. Julie Harris, as Plath's well-intentioned mother, adds some class, and Robert Klein is effective in a cameo as a disc jockey, but the best thing about the film is that it introduces talented Donna Mitchell as Plath's self-destructive best friend. Otherwise The Bell Jar suffers from maudlin lapses, and director Larry Peerce fixates on screaming scenes. Plath deserved better. (R)

Its premise might seem a little dubious, but after it unspooled at the Toronto Film Festival this week, Lars and the Real Girl (opening Oct. 12) quickly started winning people over. The Notebook's Ryan Gosling — recently nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his work in Half Nelson — plays a shrinking wallflower of a guy, living in his brother's garage, who one day starts introducing people to his new girlfriend, Bianca. And it just so happens that Bianca is a life-sized plastic doll that he ordered off the Internet.
Even Gosling concedes that you might have your doubts about such a plotline. He did too, until he read the script, which quickly (and sweetly) up-ends expectations. The actor, in fact, compares it to Harvey, the wonderful 1950 comedy starring James Stewart as a man whose constant sidekick is an invisible, six-foot-three-and-a-half-inch rabbit. Maybe you can Netflix it as soon you're done reading this interview, which EW.com conducted with Gosling in Toronto earlier this week.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lars and the Real Girl was a lot different than I expected. You hear the plot and you think it could be a Farrelly Brothers gross-out movie, or an edgy, dark, Sundance kind of movie. But it's really a fairy tale.
RYAN GOSLING: Yeah, it's a storybook, it's a kid's book, like The Velveteen Rabbit. I think, like everybody else, I hear about it and I go, Well, conceptually, it sounds like a funny idea, it's a funny concept, but it can't hold up for a whole film. But, reading the script, I'd never seen a movie like this. And now the only other thing I can compare it to is Harvey.
Really? Harvey's one of my favorite movies.
Me too! I love that movie so much. There's nothing like it.
I always thought Jimmy Stewart gave his best performance in that one. Very underrated.
Absolutely. Because he's acting for him and for Harvey. He makes Harvey real to you. And I always thought that movie was so, so special.
Stewart's character, Elwood P. Dowd, is a lot like Lars.
Yeah, he's got an imaginary friend. It doesn't matter [that she's not real], because she's real to him. I thought, This is a wacky concept, but not really. It's true. There're a lot of guys out there who have these dolls. And that's a very complicated relationship. They're not just physical. They have emotional connections and they have lives with them and they go on dates. And they talk to them, they keep them company. And it sounds crazy because they're adults and you think, You shouldn't be doing that. But I think we all kind of do that. When you're a kid and you have a teddy bear, and you love that teddy bear. A friend of mine had a teddy bear and he lost it, and he was really broken-hearted about it.
Just recently he lost his teddy bear, or this was back when he was a kid?
When he was a kid. He put an ad out in the paper, and people in his town had an eye out for it. It's not that hokey. People are like that. In this town, people rally around Lars and support him. Because they get something out of it too. They want to be part of something special.

"Transformation: A Journey into Abstraction" Opens Oct. 11 in Department of Art & Art History
1 of 5
The work of four LVC student artists and professor Michael Pittari will be on display Oct. 11 through Dec. 6 as part of the "Transformation: A Journey into Abstraction" art exhibit in the Department of Art & Art History. An opening reception will be held in Lynch Memorial Hall Oct. 11 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The project was funded by the Edward H. Arnold and Jeanne Donlevy Arnold Program for Experiential Education, which supports high-impact student-faculty collaborative projects on campus.
"Transformation: A Journey into Abstraction" is an exhibition of abstract paintings by five artists — Brittany Flood, Julia Hurley, Alena Langan, Michael Pittari, and Taylor Saraiva — based on the shared theme of transformation.
"While thematic grouping is not unusual, what is noteworthy here is that the artists — four undergraduate students and a professor — worked alongside one another during the summer of 2012 to produce their individual interpretations of the theme," Pittari writes in an essay describing the exhibit.
Abstraction was the dominant artistic mode of 20th-century modernism, embodying a quest for new ideal forms befitting a new technological era. Abstract painting, in particular, was rooted in European Impressionist painting of the late 1800s. Complex and varied, abstract painting was (and remains) neither a style nor unified movement.
"Despite the prevalence of abstraction as a 'defining practice' of the 20th century," Pittari writes, "within college and university art programs of the last 50 years abstraction is typically utilized only as a means to an end — a way to understand visual elements such as color, shape, and space — rather than as an ideology for the creation of meaningful art."
He continues, "In observing the evolution of each artist's work, it is accurate to suggest that the goal of the Arnold Grant program—new avenues of exploration—have been achieved: In the colorfully appealing work of Brittany Flood, each painting depicts an abstracted state of water evoking primordial moments of creation. Julia Hurley's grouping of three lush, cataclysmic paintings offers a literal transformation of repeated visual elements in sequential (or transformative) states. The amalgamative abstractions of Alena Langan are inspired by stained glass, but are rooted in the modernist concept of 'visual music'—in which visual elements are empathetically felt in one or more of the other senses. My own densely layered paintings, bearing the traces of architectural and natural forms, are created through successive building up and breaking down of the picture plane until a balance of image and surface is achieved. The work of Taylor Saraiva is both intensely personal and universal; for her, color and brushstroke are symbolic of physical, psychological, and spiritual states of transformation."
Each of the student-artists selected a quote that exemplifies their tie to abstraction:
Brittany Flood, "The exclusion or inclusion of nature is…not a matter of the individual artist's choice. For art, nature is unavoidable." – Elaine de Kooning
Julia Hurley, "The truth of the world is that it is chaotic…. The world is rudderless." – Alan Moore
Alena Langan, "Color directly influences the soul. Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another purposively, to cause vibrations in the soul." – Wassily Kandinsky
Taylor Saraiva, "I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted." – Job 42:2

Friday was a rainy day in America's capital, which seemed appropriate for a national day of mourning, as world leaders gathered in Washington's National Cathedral for the state funeral of the popular 40th president.
The service included eulogies that managed to mix gentle humor with large lump-in-the-throat sentiments. Former presidents Bill Clinton, the elder George Bush, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford all sat near one another, each accompanied by his wife. Sitting across the aisle, closest to Nancy Reagan, was President George W. and First Lady Laura Bush, and, near them, Vice President Dick and Lynn Cheney.
More from PEOPLE
Added the President: "Ronald Reagan belongs to the ages now, but we preferred it when he belonged to us."
The elder Bush, his voice choking with emotion, said America loved Reagan because he was "strong and gentle. ... As his Vice-President for eight years, I learned more from Ronald Reagan than from anyone I encountered in all my years of public life."
Bush also managed to elicit a smile from Mrs. Reagan when he recalled how he once asked the President how his meeting went with South African Bishop Desmond Tutu. Replied Reagan: "So-so."
Before the funeral, when the casket was still in the Capitol Rotunda being prepared for the funeral cortege to the cathedral, Mrs. Reagan caressed the flag-draped coffin, gave it a kiss and several gentle pats and shared what appeared to be final words with her husband of 52 years.
Because of a series of small strokes, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher planned ahead, and videotaped a eulogy last February. She, along with current Prime Minister Tony Blair and Prince Charles, attended the funeral, as did former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
Said Thatcher, who referred to her friend as "Ronnie": "His politics had a freshness and optimism that won converts from every class and every nation – and ultimately from the very heart of the evil empire."
Reagan's three surviving children, Patti Davis, Ron and Michael, sat alongside Mrs. Reagan at the cathedral, and were referred to by the elder Bush – who turns 80 on Sunday – as "the kids." A daughter, Maureen, died from cancer in 2001, and, as Bush said, she is now with her father.

There are a number of things that make me uncomfortable about George Galloway. His relationship with dictators in the Middle East. His soft spot for the Soviet Union and Stalinism. His attitude to personal wealth. His huge ego. And his commitment to socialism always seems just a little less strident than his commitment to himself.
I've also always wondered about his attitude to women. After all, he has had his fair share and of late they all do seem to be a lot younger than him. You'll have to excuse my prudishness, but there is something that makes me just a little bit uncomfortable about a middle-aged man chasing after a succession of women half his age. Men who do that invariably have fairly dodgy views on sexual politics. There's a degree to which he appears to be taking advantage of his status (such as it is) to get involved with a string of women who would to my eyes at least seem to be, quite simply, far too young for him.
And so I can't say I'm surprised that to read his comments about the Julian Assange case:
"I mean not everybody needs to be asked prior to each insertion. Some people believe that when you go to bed with somebody, take off your clothes, and have sex with them and then fall asleep, you're already in the sex game with them.
It might be really bad manners not to have tapped her on the shoulder and said, "do you mind if I do it again?" It might be really sordid and bad sexual etiquette, but whatever else it is, it is not rape or you bankrupt the term rape of all meaning. . ."
Let's assume for a moment that the allegations against Assange are true. The women tried to stop him, that is to say they withheld consent and made it abundantly clear that they were doing so. Assange carried on regardless. Galloway clearly doesn't understand the legal and moral issues he is pontificating on and his very dubious arguments are taken apart in short order over at Shiraz Socialist and the New Statesman. He has exposed himself as an uninformed, sexist Neanderthal.
It bothers me greatly that defenders of Assange are resorting to this reactionary nonsense.
I have stated here previously that I'm concerned that there is something a little bit dodgy about the whole extradition situation. I, like quite a few others, am not convinced that there is nothing else going on here and that this is simply about Assange being a possible rapist. And I don't believe that makes me and others "objectively soft on rape" as some people have been unfairly suggesting on Twitter in the last few days.
But there is no doubt that the accusations against Assange are extremely serious and to try and trivialise them is repugnant. I expect better from people on the left. Galloway's arguments are the kind of thing one would expect from a pissed, grunting misogynist at closing time down his local boozer. The "sex game" is "well she asked for it" in slightly more sophisticated garb.

Scandit's technology allows shopkick to reward shoppers just for interacting with products and our partners reap the benefits: a proven increase in sales as a result of product interactions.
Starting Point: Leverage the smartphone to enhance the brick and mortar retail experience
The founding team at Shopkick believes that mobile has become the most important marketing medium for brick and mortar retailers. The smartphone provides a new and necessary opportunity for retailers to add rewarding, interactive experiences to their stores. The role of stores has changed due to online and mobile shopping, and in this new ecosystem, brick and mortar retailers have to embrace mobile technology as a means of remaining relevant.
Vision: Leverage the Smartphone to Enhance the Brick and Mortar Retail Experience
The goal was to build an app that would reward shoppers for the shopping they already do. The app would also serve to create a communication channel between consumers and brands, which was traditionally impossible.
Solution: In-Store Product Interaction through Camera-Based Barcode Scanning
The addition of a camera-based barcode scanner ensured that shopkick could verify when a consumer actually engaged with a product in-store. This information is incredibly valuable to both brands and retailers – they are now able to recognize that someone has picked up their product and has it in hand.

If there is a second season of Bravo's reality show "Southern Charm," Thomas Ravenel won't take part in it.
Ravenel, 51, is planning an independent campaign for Republican Lindsey Graham's Senate seat in the fall.
"If there is a Season 2 of #Southern Charm, I will not be a participant," Ravenel said Monday night on Twitter. "I do wish the show the best though."
The former state treasurer and his girlfriend Kathryn Dennis, 22, also a cast member of "Southern Charm," had a daughter together March 24 in West Palm Beach, Fla., where Ravenel splits his time.
Bravo has not announced a renewal for the show, which follows the socializing of well-heeled Charlestonians. The show's first season finale was April 21.
A representative of NBCUniversal, which acquired the Bravo network, said he had "nothing to comment on at the moment" about the show Tuesday.
The Twitter accounts of cast members Shep Rose, Craig Conover, Cameran Eubanks, Jenna King and Whitney Sudler-Smith also make no mention of the confirmation of a second season, nor what their involvement would be, if any.
Recently, Rose opened a downtown restaurant, Conover graduated from law school, Eubanks got married and King seems to have her home base in Los Angeles. A post from Sudler-Smith shows him yachting with Prince Albert of Monaco in Cannes.
Ravenel's first dalliance into South Carolina politics ended when he was caught in a federal cocaine bust. Dennis is part of the Dennis family of influential figures anchored in Berkeley County.
Ravenel said he will run for the U.S. Senate as a petition candidate if Graham were to win this month's GOP primary.

Oops, something didn't work.
Love the Holland shirt, Dan! Thanks
When are you guys going to post up the code for that laser graffiti wall you had a the PDC? Just wondering...
That GPS plotting thing screams for somebody to create some sort of gigantic digital etch-a-sketch drawing. Guys, what are the odds of you people buying me a flight and tickets to Mix if I promise to drive around and plot a gigantic Nine Guy in the Nevada
desert as a sort of
scam promotional thing?
rofl. Thanks guys
For anyone coming over, at my front door I have a gun, I mean a cannon, or a bazooka, all wired up using the sensor API. Pity the unannounced flower delivery guy or random CH9 stalker.
I love Holland, I need an excuse to visit, but it's hard with a 6-month old
Bas, agree on the etch-a-sketch, it was the first thing that popped into my mind.
As for your odds of us getting you a ticket, hmm, probably low, the problem is we have plenty of other folks who are paying their own way and are asking us for permission to get inside the inflatable Channel 9 guy (which is pretty cool I must say)
Re: destructors and finalizers:-
No wonder there was so much confusion in the teaching of these concepts in the early days of .NET if the C# spec got it wrong! I remember so many tutorials where people were told all about finalizers "and this is how you can clean up like you do in a C++ destructor". NO NO NO! The equivalent of a destructor is implementing IDisposable (and calling it in the appropriate place) - finalizers should never have been taught, even in intermediate programming books, let along beginners ones. Interestinly Managed C++ as included in Visual Studio 2003 actually emboddied this error in that C++ destructors were implemented as finalizers, thus causing much confusion. The sucessor, C++/CLI, included in Visual Studio 2005 onwards changed it so that if a class has a destructor, in the CIL code it will actually implement IDisposable instead and calls to Dispose() are made in the same places they would be to the destructor of an unmanaged class.
Re: Visual Basic 2010 feature cut.
No iterators? What the heck guys, you had over 2 years!
Re: HLSL
It's not that hard. You know before HLSL you had to write what was essentially assembler code for the GPU. That was hard (although back then GPUs were a lot simpler - you couldn't have loops for example).
Welcome back Brian!
Great show, thanks for the link guys.
Thank you, sir! It's so good to be back.
Hey PerfectPhase, the current ETA for the PDC laser graffiti is Febuary/March but we also will shortly be posted a simplified version called "Light Painting" of this that does far more of the "how / what" while Jeremiah's laser graffiti article will explain how he did a bunch of the more complex stuff.
I also was afraid of posting 5 30 page long articles back to back.
Comments have been closed since this content was published more than 30 days ago, but if you'd like to continue the conversation, please create a new thread in our Forums, or Contact Us and let us know.

By Ginna Parsons/NEMS Daily Journal
My husband and I took last week off from work so we could spend some time with our son, Patrick, during his spring break. Charlie and I also wanted to begin work on a bathroom remodeling project, so we knew any "fun" had to be had early in the week.
So two days after school let out, we loaded Patrick and his friend, Josh, into the Jeep and headed to Memphis for a couple of days of eating and shopping. The trip ended with a visit to my favorite store, The Fresh Market.
We bought some fresh fish and nice bread and a hunk of imported cheese. I picked up some packets of basil, bay leaves and oregano from the spice bin. The boys filled plastic bags with an assortment of gummy candies from big glass jars.
At the last minute, we returned to the seafood counter and bought two pounds of mussels. Ever since we devoured a huge bucket of them in Paris one rainy Sunday afternoon, we eat them whenever the opportunity presents itself.
But we'd never actually prepared them ourselves. So Charlie went online and found a simple recipe and we gave it a shot. They were delicious and every bit as good as the ones we've had in restaurants.
Our only complaint was that we didn't buy more, especially at just $4 a pound.
Steamed Mussels
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 small shallots, minced
1 (12-ounce) bottle of beer (lager is better)
2 pounds mussels
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves and stems, finely minced
Fresh ground black pepper
Parmesan cheese, grated
Heat large pot or a Dutch oven over medium heat; add olive oil and melt the butter. Add shallots; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
Add mussels to the pot, and pour in the lager. Close lid and let mussels steam over medium heat until shells are open and the mussels turn opaque, 5 to 6 minutes. Make sure to shake the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the mussels and place in a serving dish. Let the broth rest a few minutes allowing any remaining sand to settle to the bottom of the pan. Carefully pour out the broth using a ladle, avoiding the bottom. Top with cilantro leaves, black pepper, and a nice squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese to finish off. Serve hot with crusty bread to mop up the juices.
Serves 2.

HUP, TWO, THREE, FIVE: Talk about unusual choices. Syndicated cartoonist Gary Larson, whose black-humored, off-the-wall strip, The Far Side, appears in 250 daily newspapers, was invited to speak to the graduating history students at the University of California at Berkeley. Larson told the assembled body, "My first controversial cartoon was of Santa Claus writing in his cookbook on nine ways to serve venison." After being deluged with hate mail for that one, an editor gave him some important advice: " 'Just keep doing it the way you're doing it'—and I have." In conclusion Larson opined, "I can't think of anything much sadder than hearing a different drummer in your head and marching to the same beat that everybody else does."
THANK YOU FOR CHERING: Director John Boorman, whose latest film is the upcoming adventure The Emerald Forest, had the honor of handing out the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival. This year it was a tie between Argentina's Norma Aleandro, for The Official Version, and Cher, for Mask. As the latter accepted her honor, Boorman quipped, "Ma chére Cher—sorry you have to share."
SHIRLEY, YOU JEST: As everyone knows, Hollywood takes creative liberties. Shirley MacLaine drove this point home at the recent ABC-TV affiliates gala in New York. Her best-selling book, Out on a Limb, which is about her alleged past lives, is slated to become a TV movie. MacLaine joked about an apocryphal meeting she had with producers concerning alleged "small changes" that they requested before filming began. "First they wanted me to change the title. They thought Out on a Limb was about gay lumberjacks. For the cast they thought Prince would make a great guru. 'He's young and hot and looks very lovely in those little Maria Montez outfits,' they said. 'We could use Tom Selleck as a backdrop. We'll just take him off starches until he looks like Gandhi. You've always wanted to work with John Travolta, so maybe he could play the foreign diplomat. If his voice doesn't work, we'll just dub it. The real problem is who will play you?' I stopped and asked, 'Why can't I play me?' 'No,' they said, 'you're not the type. We think it should be Dolly Parton, Marie Osmond or Diana Ross.' "
JUST LOUNGING AROUND: Paul Shaffer, Late Night with David Letter-man's formidably hep bandleader, hasn't let fame and fortune ruin his perspective. He started out playing topless bars and weddings in Ontario, where he was reared, and figures he may someday wind up doing that sort of gig again. "There's a couple of things I want to do before I return to the Holiday Inn lounges," he told the Los Angeles Herald Examiner. "But when it's time for me to go, I'll go graciously, and I'll drag out Proud Mary and play it as many times as you want to hear it."
BLOODTHIRSTY: Richard Crenna, who played Sylvester Stallone's colonel in First Blood, has reprised the role in Rambo: First Blood Part II. When asked by the Chicago Sun-Times if he'd appear in First Blood III, he replied, "Absolutely! I'd do First Blood XIX if they asked me. We'd be in wheelchairs, attacking Sun City, but I'd do it."
KNOT YOUNG ANYMORE: Ava Gardner, who appeared this season on Knots Landing, says she came out of retirement "for the loot, honey, for the loot." Gardner, who lives in London, told a British newspaper she will start receiving an MGM pension in 1987, on her 65th birthday. Unlike most Hollywood sex goddesses, the famed barefoot contessa has no compunction about disclosing her age. "What's the point?" she asks. "My face, shall we say, looks lived in. You won't find me standing in front of a mirror weeping. The truth is, I look as good as I want to."
