July is our "birthday" month here at the NCFDD, and we're jumping for joy! We opened our doors in July 2010, and this month we are celebrating the completion of our sixth year as a fully independent faculty development center. We are so honored to provide our unique form of mentoring and professional development to over 88,000 graduate students, post-docs, and faculty members at more than 450 colleges and universities in the U.S.
We celebrated by launching our latest pet project: NCFDD Travels! We have been wanting to host educational summer travel retreats so we beta-tested the idea in June. The NCFDD team hosted a trip exploring the history, art, culture, and politics of Barcelona, Madrid, and Málaga, Spain. We had such an inspiring trip that we are already in the process of planning next summer's adventures (if you would like to receive information or join us next summer, send a quick email to firstname.lastname@example.com).
This month, we're giving you plenty of opportunities to gain a new perspective, step out of your comfort zone, and explore new opportunities! First and foremost, registration for the fall sessions of our Faculty Success Program and Dissertation Success Program are open. Plus, our core curriculum webinar, The Art of Saying No, will help you learn the biggest mistakes made in responding to requests, how to identify and disrupt problematic patterns, and our favorite strategies to implement immediately to add "no" to your vocabulary. And back by popular demand, Professor Chavella Pittman is presenting Teaching In No Time as our July multi-week course.
It's also that time of the summer where we hold our 14-Day Writing Challenge. That's right! It's time to join our two week, pop-up community for developing a daily writing habit. It's a great way to experiment with best practices in a supportive community (see our feature article about the challenge below). I hope this month's resources will help you to amp up your productivity, get focused, and finish the summer with a joyful focus on your writing!

Tonight: Tracht's Celebrating Chef's Appearance on Top Chef Masters
The Top Chef spinoff starts tonight (10:00pm, Bravo), with 24 chefs duking it out over the ten-show run.
Sources confirm that Suzanne Tracht, of Jar in LA and Tracht's in Long Beach, isn't actually cooking till next week's episode. But that's no excuse not to party, right?
So to mark the start of the series tonight, Tracht's is showing the program and running happy hour specials on food and drink from 4.30pm till close (which might be as late as 1:00am, depending on how many people show up.)
The other local chef taking part is Roy Yamaguchi, of Roy's, while Kelly Choi (NOT Padma Lakshmi!!) hosts and three judges (including the obligatory Brit), er, judge.

Where I stayed
The early mornings see no sign of dropping off and the alarm gets us up at 5am for a 5.30 jeep pick up. Today we head to Yala National park - the most celebrated NP in Sri Lanka, with the highest concentration of Leopards in the country; and we have the whole day to find them!
Yala is a wonderfully scenic spot for wildlife hunting. There are lakes, rocky outcrops, open swampy areas and even a beach as well as some thickly forested areas. During the course of the long day we saw plenty of elephants (including 2 very cute tiny babies and one down on the sand!), wild buffalo, jackals, crocodiles, mongoose (er, we now know what we thought were mongoose before were actually otters. They grow a lot bigger round these parts...), monitor lizards, 2 types of deer and a variety of colourful birds. Phew! We even managed to get a great view of one beautiful leopard lazily sunning himself on a rock not far from the road.
Monkeys interrupted our lunch time snooze on the benches in the jeep by creeping in and stealing some bananas from the floor between us. We were just glad they preferred them to our bags and cameras which were also lying about!
After lunch our driver took us to the bottom of one of the rocks and we climb to the top for great views of the surrounding area. In open glades in the forest below we see a small herd of elephants and then a family of wild boar pass through - tiny from this distance.
It was a long, tiring day and we were very glad to have a sparkly hotel to come back to. Even if it was rice and curry for dinner again...

|1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s
Tsutomu Yamashita, 15 March 1947, Kyoto, Japan. A percussionist and composer, Yamashta attempted to combine avant garde and rock music in the 70s. He studied at the Kyoto Academy of Music, making his concert debut as a soloist at the age of 16. From 1964-69 he studied and performed in the USA with both classical and jazz musicians. During the 70s, such modern composers as Hans Werne Henze and Peter Maxwell Davies created works for him which were recorded in 1972 for LOiseau-Lyre. From 1973, Yamashta created what he called floating music, a fusion of classical, rock and Eastern styles with his own European group, Come To The Edge. Among his shows were Red Buddha Theatre and The Man From The East, which included elements of Japanese kabuki theatre and were highly praised by British and French critics. He recorded six albums for Island Records with collaborators Steve Winwood, Klaus Schulze, Gary Boyle and Murray Head. Go Too was released...

When a man does a good job performing oral sex on a woman, she will wrap her legs around his head, locking his lips against hers. If the lady's legs are wrapped tight enough, the man's air supply will be cut off causing him to suck harder to try to get air in his lungs, creating increased pleasure for the female.
I was going down on my girlfriend last night and she liked it so much, she put me in the Louisiana Lip Lock.

An over-the-top rant about Rounders.
This is a little rant - an exaggerated version of my own experience in PE. It's also the opening of a story I thought of today, which is not actually about rounders. In fact, it's a lot darker than you'd think from this opening. Which is why I'm not sure whether or not I'll put the rest up on Protagonize...
I stand there, gripping the wooden bat. Everyone is watching. The sun's heat tires me. All I want to do is sit down, but I must stand. I wait.
Then it comes flying at me, too fast for thoughts or consideration, and I swing, hoping to hear that hollow sound as the ball hits the wood - but I don't. The bat swings clumsily through the air, and I hear the groans of the people lined up behind me. But it's not over yet - I have to run. I've already hesitated a moment too long and they're shouting at me now.
So I run, but my legs stumble and trip as if they don't understand what I'm asking them to do, and however hard I try, I can't make myself go any faster. I reach the first base and slow down, attempting to judge how long it will be before they get the ball to the second one. But I'm too late again and they're shouting. I mean, really getting angry. Around the world, there are wars raging, people dying, tragedies happening, but the most important thing in the little world of a PE lesson is whether you can run a short distance before someone manages to hit a pole with a ball. You'd think I was doing something really terrible to them all, like smashing up all their stuff, or hitting them with the bat instead of the ball. But all I was doing was being too slow. And they didn't like it.
It is shouted proudly at me, but is almost like an accusation. You can't play this game well! They've stopped me in my tracks from reaching their precious base. And I should be ashamed, is the message I get from the moaning of my own team. I have let them all down. I go back and sit on the grass, glad to no longer have any part in the game. But I'm informed that it's "Out but In", so even though I failed it, I still have to do it again, a rule that renders the idea of being "out" and all the glory it brings the other team to get you "out", totally meaningless. Then again, that's no different from the rest of this pointless sport.
I hate rounders.

Last week, we published a letter stating that 'the United Nations Aids report for 2003 shows four of the five countries in sub-Saharan Africa with the lowest rates of HIV infection are Catholic nations'. According to the UN, the five sub-Saharan nations with the lowest percentages of adults living with Aids as at the end of 2003 were Mauritania, Senegal, the Gambia, Niger and Madagascar. According to the US State Department's International Religious Freedom reports, four of these have almost entirely Muslim populations, while Madagascar has no state religion and an estimated Catholic population of 28 per cent. The 10 sub-Saharan countries with the highest proportions of adults living with Aids include Lesotho (29 per cent) and Malawi (14 per cent), with Catholic populations exceeding 60 per cent.
What a brave piece by Carol Sarler (Can I still hate the Pope? News, last week). She could have added the horrific acts committed by paedophile priests to the crimes committed in the name of religion, not least murder, by Hindu and Muslim, Arab and Jew as well as Catholic and Protestant over hundreds of years.
Jem Cook
Carol Sarler may be surprised to learn that a Christian minister agrees broadly with her on contraception, the response to 'devils' in children, violence towards gays, religion-based censorship, terrorism in the name of religion and the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill.
Where we part company is over her desire to hate the thinker of objectionable thoughts. Hatred of another is integral to the dehumanising of the other, which precedes all the wrongs Sarler opposes. To 'yell fury' at those we disagree with leads only to deafness all round and the political, social and religious ghettoisation that Nick Cohen, elsewhere in the same issue, fears.
The Rev Julyan Drew
Carol Sarler demonstrates why the Religious Hatred Bill is necessary. Its point is not to ban satire but to prevent the easy use of generalisations about a faith that allows hatred of it to crop up; generalisations, for example, about the Vatican and its policy on condoms causing harm in Africa. As the United Nations Aids report for 2003 shows, four of the five countries in sub-Saharan Africa with the lowest rates of HIV infection are Catholic nations.
Robert Bennett
A huge cheer for Carol Sarler on why she hates faith-based bigotry and faith-based bigots. Can you please print this somewhere in The Observer every week and dare anyone to challenge it in court. The key line is: 'Beliefs, political or religious, are a matter of choice...'
David PJ Smith
Saffron Walden
Carol Sarler says religious belief is 'a matter of choice' but the vast majority of believers inherit their beliefs from their parents. Salman Rushdie once said that most religious people are not particularly theological. Yet they are good, despite the frequently malevolent nature of their texts, doctrines and leadership.
Peter McKenna
I find I can't 'hate' the Pope; he's just a common or garden madman, as is anyone who believes in the existence of a supernatural being for which there is not an iota of evidence. Or, as Richard Dawkins puts it, those who can only explain the organised complexity of life by posing some mysterious, super-organised complexity not amenable to analysis.
And just think: the leaders of both the US and Britain believe in such a supernatural being and, worse, the former believes he has a direct line to him.

Bolivia: Divided We Stand
One only needs to take a look at this graph to see the result of last Sunday's referendum on the Oruro Constitution (approved in December 2007 in Oruro). While the result at the national level was 61.6% approval against 38.3% rejection, it became even more evident that the country is geographically divided between the YES and NO votes. The denominated media luna (the green/NO part) region voted, at times overwhelmingly, to reject the new constitution and the other Bolivia (in blue/SI) readily accepted it.
Actually, if we guide ourselves by the map, it looks as though the constitution should have been rejected. The green area is bigger than the blue. The favorable result for the SI vote was determined by the number of voters in the cities of La Paz and El Alto. For the number of voters in these two cities see my post last week. The fact that there is such a large region of the country that voted NO points to a very serious problem which the government is bound to feel, and which will be the reason why the country will continue on this path of political turmoil. In the media luna region, there is the general feeling that the Oruro Constitution was not approved, even though they recognize its success at the national level. Moreover, based on the per province referendum results, the approval of the constitution is not obvious. What is obvious is that this new social contract has been clearly rejected by these regions. Therefore, the opposition leaders demand a national "dialogue" to duscuss in which ways the government is to implements the new social contract. In the words of Santa Cruz Prefect, Ruben Costas, "...the government should not delay the implementation of autonomies, should compromise positions in the negotiations, should work towards a national accord, and [above all] not impose the new constitution". Should the government not do this, the opposition has warned, they will not to follow the new constitutional rules and continue ahead with its autonomic path.
The opposition is skeptical because the executive has repeatedly played the confusion card where it agrees to one thing and does the opposite. In addition Morales himself has shown its intention to march ahead with the implementation of the new constitution, regardless what the opposition does or says. He is preparing a set of new laws to start the process. The government's first steps will be to pass the new laws regulating the electoral process, the hydrocarbons sector, taxes, civil and penal codes, land redistribution, how to reorganize the Executive and how to implement autonomy.
For the moment, it seems the opposition has chosen to make a distinction between what the constitution actually says and how will it be interpreted and, in the end, implemented. That is one reason why the opposition, once the constitution has already become the supreme law of the land, still asks the government for consensus. They want a say in drafting all the new rules of the game. For its part, the government has expressed its intention only to negotiate one issue with the opposition, namely how to adapt the province constitutions or statutes to the new constitutional framework. This is of course too little for the opposition.
There are two fundamental questions that come to mind as a result of this outcome. Why is Bolivia so divided? and What happens now? In what follows, I intend to list, and by no exhaustive means, the issues dividing Bolivia. Also, I will attempt to recount what will be the next steps in this most interesting process.
What are the divisions?
At the general level, it can be argued that Bolivia is divided because, at the moment, there is a fierce power struggle between new vs. traditional political elites, in which the new elites are about the displace the traditional ones. This power struggle has heavy socio-economic and ethnic components. At the same time, these two groups are divided in their conception of what the country should look like. On the one hand, the traditional side sees no reason why the current legal framework, partly based on the current democratic model, as well as trade, private property, private investment, etc., should be changed. On the other side, the new elites prefer to give the state a pivotal role in all social, economic and political aspects in the country. They also want to highlight the socio-ethnic aspect. This is, more or less, a short picture at the most general level. At the more specific level there are several issues to be considered. For example:
How to implement autonomy - If the government tries to force its point of view, without, at the same time, making some concessions to the opposition, the divisions are bound to widen even more. So far, the government used a confronting rhetoric with the opposition. It repeatedly pointed out that Morales has the support of the majority. It can back that claim by citing last year's recall referendum and now the approval of its constitution. However, that is not enough for the opposition, since Morales does not enjoy overwhelming support in the media luna. That is his basic problem. He lacks legitimacy in the region. That is the major reason why the opposition will still attempt to place Morales against the wall and force some kind of agreement at the moment of passing the laws. Otherwise, the radicalization of the attitudes are bound to follow.
The new electoral code - The new rules to elect the representatives will be an important issue. The new code must specify how will the President and Vice President be elected. Who will get elected and with which margins. Most important will be the distribution of seats in Congress. This will most likely set the balance of power. The opposition want to make sure the weight is not tilted towards Morales.
Land re-distribution - The way in which the government re-possesses land and re-distributes it is also bounded to create some tensions. Now that the question of how large land in private hands should be is cleared, the pressing issue will be whose land will the government take back. Most likely the owners of these lands will make it difficult for the government to take away their land. In fact, they are already up in arms and, I am guessing, heavily investing in the opposition forces to represent them politically. Most important will be who will be able to claim some of this land from the government. These people, the landless, are also a force to reckon with. Some people from the landless movement MST have already started occupying some government lands.
The new hydrocarbons law - The government has expressed its intention to design a law re-distributing the money coming from the export of natural gas to the Western provinces. Currently, the provinces where the natural gas is recovered receive more that the other provinces. There is a compensatory percentage. The problem will be if the government decides to increase this compensation and the producing provinces feel disadvantaged by the new rules.
The Sucre's claim to be the capital city - A major issue to keep Bolivia divided is the demand Sucre makes to discuss the future of the capital of Bolivia. Originally, as Bolivia was founded, Sucre was the capital of Bolivia. In 1809 the government seat and the legislative branch were moved to La Paz. Since then, Sucre has been periodically trying to recover its status as capital city. During this last Constitutional Assembly process, the opposition encouraged Sucre's demand and thus gained one more allied. Since then, Sucre has been loud in asking a debate over this issue.
TLC with the UE - In commercial terms, the division is more or less orthodox. The government rejects a TLC from principle, and the opposition supports Bolivia's engagement in the globalization process. This is more prone to touch the private industry sector and middle sized export firms.
What is to come?
On February 20, the CNE will present the final report on the January 25 referendum. Congress will approve it and will present it to the President. The President then signs it into law. Once this happens, Congress has 60 days to pass a provisional electoral code. This law will be the legal framework for the general election of December 6, 2009. The President, the Vice President and all members of Congress will be elected on this date. Once the new "National Plurinational Assembly" (that is the name) is convened, it has to sanction several laws taking no longer than 180 days. These laws are: laws regulating the new electoral agency, the Judicial branch, the Constitutional Tribunal, as well as drafting the new electoral code and the framework regulating the decentralization and autonomic processes.
My take is that 2009 will be plagued by electoral campaigns and the fight in Congress to pass those new laws. And of course, more marches, demonstrations and strikes. Why not!
10 comments:
That map is deceptive. Provincial level maps and other presentations will show a more complex pattern of support and opposition for the new constitution.
Obviously, a large minority of Bolivians opposed it. But the Media Luna itself has a large minority as well that supports the constitution. So they don't have much of an argument when they argue for refusing to accept elections based on minority rights.
For example, 39% of Bolivian voters voted NO. Many of those No votes were concentrated in the east. In the Department of Santa Cruz, for example, 65% voted No. But 4 of the 15 provinces of Santa Cruz voted for the constitution. Tarija voted 57% overall, but 4 of its 6 provinces voted for the constitution.
You mention Sucre, which voted 66% against the constitution (at least that is true for the province where the city is located--the city probably voted even higher for No), but all 9 of the other provinces of Chuquisaca voted Yes.
Here is one interpretation of the division. Over the years, there has been steady migration from the highlands to the lowlands, resulting in lesser power of the highlands relative to the lowlands. The dominant foreign exchange earner for the country was once tin mining. No more. How much of the rent from the tin mines reached the lowlands relative to the highlands? Very little , I imagine. The new constitution is an attempt to stem this diminution of population, economic and political power of the highlands relative to the lowlands, by appropriating as much as possible of the gas rent to the highlands.
I see a similarity here with Francophone Canada versus Anglophone Canada. In an attempt to stem the relative loss of population, economic, and political power to Anglophone Canada, in the last generation Quebec instituted a series of laws to make life much more difficult for English speakers in Quebec. It was successful in driving English speakers out of Quebec. In stemming the relative loss of power of Francophone Canada, less so.
John - Yes, you are absolutely right. I am glad you bring it up. When one starts to look at the provincial level results the pattern of support becomes even more complicated. But, that doesn't take away the fact that Bolivia is more divided than ever. In that, the map is a good illustration.
Gringo - I am not sure I understand you. You say that the government, the MAS and the people who wrote the new CPE wanted to stop the internal migration from highland to lowland. Also, they want to redirect some or more of the natural gas earnings to the highlands.
If that is correct, I would agree in one point, namely that there is indeed a redistribution and/or compensation goal here. I am not sure it is related to the migration issue, but the government does want to take the pot and distribute it equally (at least that is my reading).
The counter argument is that the natural gas earnings should not be redistributed in that manner, but to take into account the particular needs in each case. For example, in the case of Sta. Cruz, aside from the need to maintain the status quo, there'll be a need to invest in infrastructure, the companies themselves, etc. If you get what I mean.
Parting from this assumption, there cannot be an "equal" redistribution because each case (or province, in this case) is different.
Just to touch one point!
Keep in mind that the gas fields lie in provincias where there was support for the constitution. Gran Chaco, in Tarija, voted 47% Si, so it lost narrowly there. But the gas regions in Chuquisaca and Santa Cruz voted 58%, 60%, 61%, and 69% Si. (I could easily be missing some important gas provinces, but these figures are for O'Connor, Luis Calvo, MM Caballero, and Ichilo provinces.)
I spotted another use of that map you've used here, on a Camba Nation poster. See http://www.ahorabolivia.com/2009/01/26/repercusiones-en-santa-cruz-por-el-triunfo-del-si-a-nivel-nacional/
Maybe Camba Nation should remove Chuquisaca from its propaganda maps, although I guess Tarija might look a little lonely.
Miguel: that over the decades, the highlands have been losing their national dominance vis -a-vis the lowlands, via loss of the tin mining rent, migration, economic growth etc. 60 years ago SRZ was a backwater, an afterthought.
The highlanders are attempting to stem the loss of political power implicit in this trend by appropriating as much as possible of the natural gas rent. It isn't that they are trying to stop the migration to the lowlands, but rather to neutralize the effect of the migration: less political power and less rent.They figure they can do it while they still have a majority. And if some migration is stemmed in the process, so much the better, but the emphasis is to get the $.
From 1950 to 2001, Santa Cruz Department went from 9 to 25 percent of the population.
Adding in Tarija, Beni, and Pando, the increase was from 16 to 34: almost all of the increase in Santa Cruz Department.
Also note that Morales won big in the rural areas, which from 1950 to 2001 have gone from 73% to 37% of the population. IOW, the areas where Morales won, rural versus urban, highland versus lowland, are areas that have been losing power and influence for the last 60 years. In this sense, MAS is a reactionary movement, an attempt to turn back the clock.
(Yes, Morales won big in La Paz, a city, but here the perspective is a highland city that sees it is losing power to the lowlands. )
1950 (Departments)
La Paz 854,079
Potosí 509,087
Santa Cruz 244,658
La Paz 2,350,466
Potosí 709,013
Santa Cruz 2,029,471
John - Yes, there is still an important difference between the urban vs. the non-urban vote. Bolivian cities have tended to vote NO (especially the media luna). As you point it out, the non-urban or rural vote (as they call it in Bolivia) has tended to, in general, align with the government. Now, there are differences between provinces, but in this issue the sum of the parts is what's relevant. Votes are added and it's either thumbs up or down.
And yes, the situation in Sucre is "special" to say the least. The city has overwhelmingly voted NO, but the provinces are solid YES.
Gringo - I disagree with that interpretation. While the tin era you are referring to was dominated by, as you put it, highland cities (namely La Paz and Sucre and perhaps Oruro), the political power rested on a small group of people (the elite). The phenomenon we are observing today, since 2000, is a replacement of this "old" elite by a new kind of elite emerging from the so called social movements. This latter elite did not share any power, up until recently.
So in that sense it is not an attempt to turn back the clock. I see it rather as a sort of revolution where power is changing hands, and not necessarily to the indigenous peoples, as Morales might like to fantasize.

For many years, global markets had focused their attention on traditional sectors such as natural resources rather than on life science companies, so initial public offerings (IPOs) for such companies were uncommon. The past few years have, however, seen a sea-change and life science companies – from biotech to medical devices firms – have come very much back into favour as the must-have stocks; with opportunities for significant upsides. The turnaround started in 2013; the markets began to pick up that year and 66 life science IPOs were completed globally. By 2014, there were an extraordinary 133 life sciences companies completing IPOs, raising some $11 billion…

You are waiting in line, trying to decipher several different languages spoken around you: English, Dutch, German, Arabic, French… This scene is not from an airport but rather from a Turkish hospital: thousands of foreigners, communicating through translators, visit healthcare institutions every day and numbers are increasing exponentially; in the first six months of 2014, 162,445 medical tourists visited Turkey. This is only one of the results of the Health Transformation Project (HTP), inaugurated by the Turkish Ministry of Health in January 2003. The Project, aiming ultimately to enact universal health coverage and to raise the quality of life of Turkish citizens, has brought major reforms in the organisation of, and access to, healthcare services. This article will chart some of the changes that have recently occurred in the Turkish healthcare market, before focusing on developments in the rapidly growing pharmaceutical sector.

Harold M. Wingood
Mr. Rick Maupin
I came to Memphis Academy of Science and Engineering because
I wanted to have a more direct impact on the lives of students, especially
those for whom attending college is not a foregone conclusion. I believe that a
high quality education can transform individuals by changing the trajectory of
their lives, broadening their aspirations and exposing them to opportunities
they may have never imagined. My own experience at Bowdoin College where I
earned my A.B., and Duke University, where I earned my M.A., taught me that any
of us is only limited by the extent to which we are willing to explore the
boundaries of the frontiers of our life.
For the first twenty-eight years of my professional career,
I worked as a university administrator at Babson College, Tufts University,
Duke University, Washington University in Saint Louis and Clark University.
During my last university assignment at Clark, I served as Associate Provost
and Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid. My work involved developing a staff
that supported the mission of the University, crafting need-based and
merit-based financial aid policies, managing institutional marketing
initiatives and recruiting students who were able to take advantage of the
University's educational and co-curricular programs.
My strength as a leader lies in my ability to align an
institution's policies, practices and procedures with its core values. An
organization will realize its full potential only when there is a shared vision
of its mission and when every member of the community works together. The
founders of the Academy had a powerful vision for our students, their families
and our community. I am committed to making their vision a reality and to
taking MASE to the next level of academic and institutional excellence.

Discussion in 'General Crossbow Discussion' started by Notavegetarian, May 27, 2011.
What is the fastest crossbow today? How long are the arrows, and what is the weight?
the fastest is scorpyd rdt 165
165 pounds ,bolts 22'' and powered of 20'' stroke= 425 ftsec.
and it's very balance for shooting !
If I were a rich man.
Anything over 300fps will seem fast to most archers. I love my RDT165, but I wouldn't feel handicapped with any of the more affordable options out there. I absolutely loved the Parker Tornado I had a chance to shoot, for example, but there are many other proven performers for much less than the price of a Scorpyd.
you request is speed or price??
do you have choice to by cheap one to entry incrossbow and change in some month,or year ago.
or buy the best and fastest in first....is your choice.
if you are addict hunter you change for best weapon in some delay or buy the best in first.
this is the same choice of crossbow.
the max yiu paid for quality crossbow the max you have when you change the weapon.
Been using the same PSE Fox Fire since 1986, it still pushes my arrows @ 285. The reason I purchased this one, it was the most advance technology at the time, a compound cross bow, it was the fastest at that time with a price tag of $300. In 1986, so 25 years later the most advanced would carry a hefty price tag. Will the Scorpyd RDT 165 give 25 years or more of service?
i'm sure of more quality and tech developement in new scopyr than your 1986 model.
except every model kill!
Who knows? The RDT165 is a niche bow from a small manufacturer. It is overbuilt in many ways, but nobody knows what the cumulative stress of its power may have on the limbs over the course of 25 years. Actually, that might be said for most of the faster crossbows currently in production.
However, my current RDT165 has nearly 1000 shots on it trouble free. I changed the string and cables once, and the ones on there now are still going strong.
If you need a bow to last the rest of your life, get an Excalibur or just keep your Fox Fire. If you want to step up into the 350fps+ range, you are at the mercy of the intersection of cutting edge design and high levels of stress, regardless of manufacturer.
Raleigh Archer,
Very well stated. What is the carry weight of the RDT 165?
Maintenance has been a small issue with my PSE, the Cable has been replaced once, I have a spare on hand, the limbs have been replaced once, spares I don't have this time. I try to shoot 3 arrows 2 times a week to stay prepped for the season, and will hog hunt with it during the off season. The arrow rest on this crossbow takes a pounding, and I am looking at other options there. But for an initial investment of $300, not including the maintenance stated above, and additional arrows, broadheads, fletching, and other miscellaneous expenses, it has been an exceptional value. I know this bow won't last forever, and will eventually have to be mothballed. In comparison of 1986 dollars vs. today's, $1,000 for a quality product is not really that bad. Now if only I were a rich man, not one looking at retirement!
Darton & Bowtech strikezone have some speed fer a fair price
Now tell me of some of the issues you folks have with them, what you would like changed, or improved.
25 years out of any pre 90's crossbow is amazing in my books, well done!
I remember when the Foxfire and Crossfire were first introduced, state of the art at the time, though I always thought accurate string alignment on cocking, and arrow retension on the arrow rest may have been a problem. Yours has obviously served you well over the years.
Excalibur, as mentioned, are built to last a life time, and have a warranty to match. As far as a balanced combination of speed, but more importantly, accuracy, and ease of use/maintainance go, they can't be beat.
Agree with RA on many points... just want to add a plug for the other fine bows that Scorpyd produces such as the 'Telson' line. I have the 130 pound version and chose it strategically b/c of the reduced strain on bolts, targets and strings AND still I've clocked my bow at 390.2 fps and on cam at 386 (both on cam but at different times). The bow to me sounds quieter than my Diamond Black Ice and at 390fps avg my Crossbow Block stops the 22in bolts just fine...that's an impt advantage over the fine Scorpyd RDT 165 that scorches even my bow at 425! ... my bow also has Anti-Dry Fire which was dropped from the 165. I point out in my Video Review of the Telson (on this forum under Gear Reviews) that the Scorpyds are definetly 'Overbuilt' (the riser is a thing of beauty IMHO) as RA has said - that's good and bad. Good b/c it will last and makes the bow quieter but makes the bow quite a bit heavier as well lugging it around the deer woods. Having recently hunted with the Telson it is a bit of a toad to haul around the woods ----> BUT this is the case for just about ANY Xbow compared to a firearm or even a vertical bow. my 2 cents.
Honestly, I'd probably pick the Telson 130 over the Scorpyd RDT165 for reasons mentioned by deerboy. NC still has a 150# minimum draw weight reg, which is why I went with the RDT165 in the first place.
I wouldn't worry about shooting "only" 390fps with a bow as quiet and well-balanced as the Scorpyd platform. However, it is STILL a niche bow from a small manufacturer, so those with no patience for what this can mean should not get a Scorpyd (or a SwissBow, or a Kodabow, or a Hickory Inline...).
Speed is great fun and one of the first things first time buyers consider when buying a gun or bow, but, it comes at a price in both. In guns it's reflected in shorter barrel life and bullet failure-although modern monolythic bullets have largely cured the latter. In bows it's weight, string and component failure, as well as being more difficult to attain accuracy with. It seems the faster the bow, the more stress on the arrow upon release, the more stress on the arrow the more erratic flight becomes. (The stress is mostly due to current arrows not having enough spine to accommodate the rapid acceleration.) Having been up and down the scale with 5 bows, and having my first 'speed bow' blow up in my face, I've settled on bows that shoot a 400 gr arrow around 300-320 fps for most of my hunting. Plus a recurve design that's basically bullet proof, easy to maintain, can be discharged without having to shoot it and whose string can be changed without a press; not to mention (can) use a Flemish string, which is much stronger . On the plus side: no cables, cams, or slides. On the negative: recurves are wider, but not so that it has affected my ability to shoot at live targets.
I still enjoy shooting the speed bow, but hunt with a recurve to make things easier on myself. Lastly, I'd only consider a bow, esp a speed bow, that has a full lifetime warrenty and is mnufactured by a company know for great customer support. Likely you will need it, esp if your bow shop isn't local or not into serviceing crossbows..
Drawbacks of my FoxFire, its heavy. About 9 lbs, its loud, it uses a cable, the arrows use knocks, the arrow rest is a plastic finger the arrow will fall off easily, its heavy, and did I mention its loud. However it has served me well over the years and I hope to complete this season with it as well. I do need to start looking for a suitable replacement, which is why I am asking these questions. Thanks for all of the input, and please keep it coming…..I am old I may have forgotten to ask something…
Note from Kodabow: Yes .... this manufacturer looks at the message boards periodically. We found this thread interesting and much of what Cossack describes is consistent with our Kodabow philosophy of making crossbows. That is keep design simple, avoid moving parts, have easy field maintenance, deliver hunting friendly speeds and high accuracy and absolutely avoid component failure.
The view expressed earlier in the thread about how some smaller companies can challenge customer patience isn't a reality for Kodabow. In some circumstances, we might be temporarily out of a particular SKU (225 Big Rhino in Black Night Weave Limbs) but that is short lived and I would hope we are viewed as highly responsive. With our AR-15 style platform style, we do a few custom configurations in our Custom area and deliveries there can be extended but those are non-typical orders. We simply don't spend much time dealing with performance problems ---- part of the reason is that our crossbows are very straightforward and 'work' ----another element is that our ADF system and automatic safety engagement trigger group are consumer friendly though we still recommend discharging an arrow into a discharge target or the ground after a hunt because of all the differing arm and body strengths among users. There are simply very few things that can go wrong. We shot a single bow for 9 days straight (all day long) at the Eastern Outdoor Show this year which is nothing ususual for us. Some observers were impressed. We are working hard and hopefully establishing a solid reputation .... yes, we are underexposed to a degree but we really don't think of ourselves as a niche player or having an operation that would test customer's patience. Maybe the oppposite would be more accurate. If you haven't looked at us in awhile, please check us at www.kodabow.com or on Facebook. / Chuck Matasic - President
