"Call me Ishmael."
Those words opened Herman Melville's classic novel Moby Dick. In one sentence, Melville began to paint an image of a man completely involved in the search for the white whale that haunted his dreams.
Melville's narrator is a man not quite in step with the rest of society. He's a sea captain and would rather be on the water than the streets. His quest to find and harpoon the Great White Whale is his only motivator. Ishmael is a man obsessed.
Had Ishmael been alive today, he may have found fellowship with the trophy bass angler, for he too is obsessed and on the fringes of his society.
While the modern bass angler is known for his desire to compete, the trophy angler prefers solitude. Most tournament anglers prefer to launch fiberglass vessels powered by monstrous engines designed to get to the fish fast. The hardcore trophy hunter typically fishes from a low-profile aluminum boat rigged with a small, quiet outboard designed to stalk his prey with the utmost stealth.
For the typical bass angler, lure choice revolves around what will get him the most bites on a given day. He uses the law of averages and bets that he will eventually come across a bigger bite. For the trophy hunter, it may take several days of tossing giant swimbaits before getting even one strike.
Every angle is important to the trophy hunter. He will schedule his vacation time around the lunar schedule. He saves his sick days for the chance that an approaching storm front coincides with the full moon in the prespawn. That way he can take advantage of the natural aggression of giant females looking to bulk up for the spawn.
The trophy hunter seeks to understand every detail of his prey, choosing to pour over scientific manuals looking for the edge that will aid him in locating the largest of the species. Hours may be spent on one piece of structure, sitting low and hiding behind the gunnels so as not to spook the double-digit fish that could be a lake record.
These anglers seldom achieve the fame associated with their tournament angler counterparts, yet in their own community they carry the same respect as VanDam, Martin, Clunn, Dance and Brauer.
Trophy hunters come from around the world and every corner of the United States, South Africa, Japan and anywhere else giant bass are found. They target largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass, and they are never satisfied — not even with even their personal best. There are always bigger bass to be caught.
Big bass require special attention. In this ongoing series on Bassmaster.com, we're going to explore the freaks of the Micropterus clan, those bass that tip the scales at more than double the average weight of their cousins.
Our goal is to help you understand the habits and needs of trophy bass and the tactics required to catch them. Our desire is that you, too, will catch the fish of a lifetime, even if you can't be completely satisfied with that accomplishment.
You might even become obsessed with the pursuit of your own "white whale."
"Call me Ishmael."

The globalisation along with the interdependence of various economies has resulted in creating extra dimension to the employability skills requirements. Various socio-economic indicators have increased the pressure on vocational education sector and changed it from supply driven to demand driven by the labour market requirements to minimise the existing employability skills gap.
The paper presents a study that has been conducted to identify the existing skills gap between School Based Learning (SBL) and Work Based Learning (WBL) in Technical and Vocational Education (TVE) System in Bahrain by asking teachers, Human Resources departments from industry, and industrial supervisors to complete questionnaires. Their answers have been analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. Based on these drawn conclusions, an improved employability skills model has been developed which shows the importance of the required skills. This model will be the basis for suggested modifications in SBL and WBL structure in TVE in Bahrain.

Tokyo stocks advanced to their highest level in 4½ years, closing Monday above 13,000 for the first time since August 2008, as the yen's slide and the Bank of Japan's bold credit easing measures continued to buoy exporters and financial issues.
The 225-issue Nikkei average gained 358.95 points, or 2.80 percent, from Friday, to close at 13,192.59, its highest since Aug. 12, 2008. It rose as high as 13,225.22.
The broader Topix index of all first-section issues on the TSE added 35.50 points, or 3.33 percent, to close at 1,101.74.
Stocks rose almost across the board with the Nikkei briefly soaring more than 3 percent, as financials and exporters continued benefitting from the BOJ's decision last week to expand monetary easing on an unprecedented scale, brokers said.
The dollar climbed above the ¥99 mark for the first time since May 2009 in late Tokyo trading Monday on continued yen-selling prompted by the BOJ's unorthodox policy.
At 5 p.m., the dollar was quoted at ¥98.83-84, compared with ¥97.51-61 in New York and ¥96.30-32 in Tokyo at 5 p.m. Friday. It moved between ¥98.08 and ¥99.03 during the day, changing hands most frequently at ¥98.60. The euro fetched ¥128.42-46 against ¥126.72-82 in New York and ¥124.31-35 in Tokyo late Friday.
"The market was lifted by the dollar's advance to the ¥98 range. The central bank's announcement is still having a huge impact on the market," said Takashi Hiroki, chief strategist at Monex Inc. "The dollar climbing to the ¥100 level is coming in sight," adding to expectations of improving performances by exporters.
Capital Economics said a further significant fall in the yen probably lies ahead, predicting the dollar to hit ¥105 at the end of 2013 and ¥120 at the end of 2014.
Among exporters, Toyota Motor rose ¥210, or 4.1 percent, to ¥5,300 and Honda Motor gained ¥135, or 3.7 percent, to ¥3,805. Suzuki Motor was up ¥170, or 8.1 percent, to ¥2,261.
Despite technical indicators showing selling pressure, "the market was incredibly strong," said Hiroichi Nishi, assistant general manager of equity research at SMBC Nikko Securities Inc, noting the TSE is attracting robust demand amid hopes for economic and fiscal policies advocated under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

As I sad were did you get those images, the links you provided are basically the same image.
Compare PIA16174 and PIA16239 The one is a landscape shot with two different filters … and the other is a rover selfie shot with the same rocks in the background. But if you compare the rocks you'll notice they have been altered.
AAAH, the martians have developed PHOTOSHOP,
I've seen the rover image quite a while back (or it was a similar one), and even saw an explanation on how they took pictures and then removed the arm that held the camera. Great 'selfie'!
The rover camera has to take many small images, they are stitched together later. So the selfie pic is not a "real" pic. Inorder to cover the seams where the stitching happens, the image will need photoshop touch up. Which is why duplicate or mismatching parts are seen. They are just creating images that be presented well in magazines and on TV.

Feeling annoyed from a disturbing tweet of your colleague? Need not any more. Twitter is reportedly coming up with a mute feature, applicable on its iOS and Android apps. The mute feature will serve multiple purposes. All the tweets and re tweets of the person whom you wish to ignore will be hidden from your timeline. Secondly, the person whose tweets you have hidden will not feel let down as they will never know that it is you, who has done it. This is indeed social innovation and Twitter has taken a lead among social media players with the likely introduction of this feature. Twitter has recently come up with numerous changes in its platform and this one is sure to get appreciation from one and all. However, this is not the first time; Twitter has tried something of this kind. Twitter clients and apps like Tweetdeck and tweetbot allow [+more]

Turkey Enhances Measures To Block Twitter Access After Users Break Ban
The government of Turkey has enhanced measures to block Twitter access after several users have come up with ways to break the ban. The internet service providers (ISPs) in the country were initially simply redirecting traffic to a government webpage by enabling the DNS servers to redirect away from Twitter's homepage. But now the ISPs have started blocking the addresses used by the site, making it more difficult for the users to get around the restrictions, according to analysts of internet monitoring firm Renesys. This has been confirmed by a Turkish government webpage, citing court orders. The Twitter ban comes after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to "root out" the social media network. Erdogan claimed that the social networking site has been used to spread wiretapped recordings that resulted in destroying the reputation of his government. This has taken the battle between the Erdogan regime and the [+more]
Fiery Battle In App Land For Mozilla- Twitter Accompanies Firefox In The War
Firefox and Twitter-sounds like a deadly combination, isn't it? Well, we have sources that reveal Twitter would be available for the fiery operating system as soon as devices backed by this OS ships. The tweet app on this OS would not be starkly different from conventional mobile applications. The tabs such as Me, Connect and Home would still be in place. However, Web Activities would just be a cherry on the cake for this app. Snap-sharing would become breeze with this for sure. Mozilla has already partners in Facebook Cut the Rope, EA Games and Twitter is yet another feather in its cap. We hope that this collaboration proves fruitful for Mozilla since it has a long race ahead in the market where Android and iOS rule.
250K Accounts Compromised, Says Twitter; Clarifies that Hack was Unrelated to Yesterday's Outage
In what appears as more bad news for the microblogging social network, Twitter has been sending out mails to 250,000 of its users claiming that it has been experiencing "unusual access patterns" which could indicate possible hacking of their accounts. However, the site has claimed that this incident is independent of the outage it experienced yesterday. Twitter has requested its users to change their passwords following this incident and ensure that they use a strong enough password to protect their accounts. A common thread observed in the users whose accounts were possibly hacked indicate that this could have affected the early adopters of Twitter, who have been using the site since 2007. If this is found true and you are among those who joined the brigade much later, you're probably safe. We're not quite sure if they're related, but coincidentally, Amazon too experienced an outage yesterday. Twitter of course has [+more]
Twitter Vs Facebook: Would Pornographic Videos Cost The Just Announced Twitter App?
No sooner did Twitter announce its latest video-sharing app Vine that some users have started sharing pornographic content on it. While Vine's terms of service make no specific mention about disallowing sharing of sexually explicit material, the catch is that Apple's App Store's guidelines don't welcome such stuff. Users have already begun uploading videos featuring male genitalia and clips from porn videos on to the site, with the hashtags porn, sex and other similar words. Even though Twitter may believe in the freedom of expression, given how it has kept away from censoring tweets, Vine does have a provision for users to flag content they find offensive. According to a representative from the company, "Uploaded videos that are reported and determined to violate our guidelines will be removed from the site, and the user that posted the video may be terminated". The main question everyone's asking is what impact it [+more]
Twitter's Vine Vs Facebook's Instagram: The Rivals Take The Brawl To Another Level
In an entirely surprising turn of events, Thursday saw microblogging social network Twitter launching its own video app, Vine. Users can capture short videos of up to 6 seconds' duration and run it on loop using this app. As of now, this app is available only for iOS users – so iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users can download and use this app currently. In keeping with Twitter's theme of brevity, this app is also aimed at inspiring creativity among its users. According to a blog post by Twitter, Vine's posts are about abbreviation, shortening something longer. However, moments after Twitter announced this new app, privacy concerns began to get raised. Some users reported that they were able to view other users' private contact information when they logged into the app, including e-mail addresses and phone numbers. This issue led Twitter to disable Facebook sharing shortly after the app's launch. [+more]
Instagram Twitter Rivarly Grows; Disables Twitter Integration
It seems all is not well between Twitter and Instagram. After selling itself to Facebook it has disabled integration with Twitter. The photo sharing app instagram has disabled the features that lets Twitter to properly display its photos. If you still want to share your Instagram photos on Twitter, you can do that but they won't show on Twitter properly. "This is due to Instagram disabling its Twitter cards integration, and as a result, photos are being displayed using a pre-cards experience," the micro blogging site added. According to thesources, the move shows the growing rivalry between Twitter and Instagram. By disabling Twitter cards, Instagram will force Twitter users to click through to its site to see the entire image, the souce added.

Mother Brown's Dining Room is a Bayview-Hunters Point institution. For the past decade, the small soup kitchen has served breakfast and dinner to the neighborhood's hungry. The organization that operates Mother Brown's also allows homeless people to sit overnight in plastic chairs in a room on the building's second floor. Now, the city wants to open a 100-bed homeless shelter to an adjacent warehouse. But the plan has drawn opposition from neighbors and local merchants. About 2,000 neighborhood residents have signed a petition, arguing that the shelter would add to the gritty neighborhood's problems.
Calvin Henderson was nodding off during breakfast service on a recent weekday morning after another poor night's sleep in the chairs upstairs. Like other homeless people in the area, he stays at Mother Brown's because there are few alternatives. "It swells your feet up," he said of sleeping upright. "I've been up all night."
"We really don't have a homeless shelter out here," said Marvin Robinson, owner of the Dollar Store and More on Third Street. Robinson said that neighbors are concerned that the shelter would attract homeless from outside the neighborhood, and that it would result in more loitering and noise late at night. "I see the issue of being a property owner," Robinson said. "But some of the homeless are stakeholders — they grew up in this neighborhood."
Larry Williams has lived in the Bayview since in the 1960s and he currently lives in an RV, which is parked just down the block from Mother Brown's. "I grew up and went to school with all these people. So, I know all these neighbors around here. And all the newer neighbors around here, they came up in here acting like they're so community-minded, trying to push us out because they don't want no shelters. But if you ain't never been homeless, you ain't got no business even speakin on this."
Shane Mayer moved to the Bayview about three years ago, and he lives a couple blocks away from Mother Brown's. He co-chairs Bayview Residents Improving Their Environment, an organization that promotes neighborhood rejuvenation efforts. Mayer thinks the Bayview is an up-and-coming neighborhood, but he's worried that adding beds to Mother Brown's would attract more homeless people. "My position is that we should have supportive housing for them — not an emergency shelter."
Evaristo Morales Crúz, from Veracruz, Mexico, works for a roofing company in Bayview-Hunters Point and eats at Mother Brown's Dining Room two or three times per week. "The food makes me strong," he said. "No food, no power." Crúz says he has slept in the chairs a few times, when it was too late to go to a shelter. "It's better than the street."

High Quality and Hassle Free CD and DVD Printing
Many businesses include CDs or DVDs with their products. Sending a disc is much more economical than printing manuals, instructions sheets, etc. Plus, frequently some software or drivers on a CD or DVD are included with a product. When shipments to customers include a disc, then you want it to look professional and properly labeled with contents, version, and other information.
Not that long ago, making CD and DVD labels consisted of printing them on blank disc labels on a regular printer then trying to "stick" the labels on a disc. It was a time-consuming, slow, and frustrating process with multiple steps. Getting the labels to print correctly could be difficult, then trying to properly apply them to the CD or DVD could challenge anyone's patience.
Labeling CDs and DVDs doesn't have to be a pain any longer. CD and DVD label printers have been around for about a decade, but with falling prices and improved technology they are more affordable and accessible than ever.
Thermal Disc Printer or Ink Jet Disc Printer
The better CD –DVD disc printers use a thermal transfer process that applies ink directly to the disc, then uses heat to dry and seal the ink. It provides a fast, permanent, quality print on the disk that is waterproof and durable; generally a much more professional looking and superior result than paper labels (especially ones not applied straight). Special discs must be used for thermal printing.
Less expensive ink jet printers can usually print on discs and print quality photos, or are part of all-in-one units. These work with regular blank discs, but they do not provide as permanent a result. The ink can smear if it gets wet and more easily wears off. These CD-DVD printers are usually not designed for heavy use.
The right printer for you would depend on your needs: How many discs do you label every day or week? How professional do you want the results to be? The less expensive option may be perfect for some situations.
Whichever disc printer fits your needs, both are usually preferable than using paper labels, or outsourcing the printing, or (the less than professional) handwriting on the DVD or CD with a marker. With a DVD-CD printer you get professional results with do-it-yourself prices and flexibility.

News on Saturday that the Jacksonville Jaguars had signed former BYU running back Harvey Unga was significant for several reasons.
Obviously, it is great news for Unga, who is back in the NFL after losing his on-again, off-again spot with the Chicago Bears in 2013.
For BYU, it means that the school has had a player on the roster of every team in the NFL. Jacksonville was the last holdout, until Saturday.
Unga rushed for 3,455 yards on 696 carries for BYU, scoring 36 touchdowns. He's the school's all-time leading rusher, although current Cougar Jamaal Williams certainly has that mark in his sights.<

Photo Gallery: Burned out cabin where Christopher died
A couple tied up by Christopher Dorner in their condo just before his final shootout with sheriff's deputies last month are seeking the $1.2 million reward offered for Dorner's capture.
Karen and Jim Reynolds' claim competes with one already filed by a man carjacked by Dorner the same day. And it remains unclear how and when the government agencies and private donors who put up reward money will decide who -- if anyone -- gets it.
After the Reynoldses found ex-Los Angeles police officer Dorner in their Big Bear condo Feb. 12, 10 days into his murderous rampage, he tied them up and fled in their SUV.
With her hands still tied, Karen Reynolds managed to call 911 on her cellphone, beginning the chase that ended with Dorner committing suicide inside a burning cabin.
"Only the information provided to law enforcement by the Reynolds, and not by any other citizen, caused Mr. Dorner to be captured (i.e., cornered with no escape) and killed (apparently in an act of suicide)," the couple's lawyer, Kirk Hallam, wrote in a letter to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, which put up a $100,000 reward.
The county released the letter this week after a public records request from the Los Angeles Daily News.
In separate letters to the city and county of L.A., carjacking victim Rick Heltebrake also claimed the entire $1.2 million reward.
After Dorner realized he had been spotted in the Reynoldses' purple Nissan Rogue SUV, he fled down a side road and crashed.
He then carjacked Heltebrake, who works as a Boy Scout ranger at Camp Tahquitz in the San Bernardino National Forest.
After Dorner drove away in his white pickup truck, Heltebrake called a friend, Paul Franklin, who is a San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy, according to his letter.
"Mr. Heltebrake's telephone call to Deputy Franklin notified law enforcement of Mr. Dorner's location, provided a description of the vehicle he was fleeing in, and was a substantial factor in the capture of Mr. Dorner at the cabin location," wrote Heltebrake's lawyer, Allen Thomas.
The letter does not mention the Reynoldses.
Hallam's letter says Heltebrake played no role in Dorner's being cornered or killed. Before Heltebrake's call, Hallam wrote, the Sheriff's Department already knew Dorner had been spotted, and state fish and game officers already were chasing him.
"Mr. Heltebrake's phone call simply was irrelevant," Hallam wrote.
Through their lawyer, the Reynoldses declined to comment. Heltebrake's lawyer did not return a call Wednesday morning.
In an interview, Hallam said he was unsure how the reward process will work.
The city of L.A. coordinated the reward, and the LAPD has referred questions on how it will be distributed to the Mayor's Office. Mayor's spokeswoman Vicki Curry would not answer questions Wednesday about the Dorner reward, and the mayor's office has not responded to a public records request.

The game combined both large scale army unit level and small scale character level. All the action happened simultaneously in game world and places could be seen from the map or at the ground level. Individual characters could also be seen in larger battles (in which they either survived or died — Gandalf alone could easily defeat a hundred orcs). If the battle is quite small (less than 100 units approximately) it can be watched on ground level. Otherwise it will be only displayed numerically. On ground level characters could acquire objects[3] and talk with computer controlled friendly characters (such as Radagast or Tom Bombadil).

When the going gets tough, go out in style

"We'll all miss it" ... Mark Isaacs has written a farewell tribute to the Side-On Cafe.
Photo: Sahlan Hayes
A popular jazz haunt is dealing with its demise front-on, writes John Shand.
Sydney's primary jazz venue of the past six years, the Side-On Cafe, is closing its doors.
Typically for the little venue that has been such a crucible of Australian new music - extending beyond jazz to world, cabaret, and chamber music - it is going out with a roar rather than a whimper.
The cafe's owner, Paul Misbrener, has asked the internationally acclaimed pianist/composer Mark Isaacs to assemble a special project for the penultimate weekend.
The venue's demise follows the move of both the Sydney Improvised Music Association and Cafe Carnivale to the Sound Lounge at the Seymour Centre. Without the government funding those organisations enjoy, Misbrener has been unable to afford advertising. Consequently revenue has declined, and he has had to halt his slide into an ever-larger black hole.
The relative no-man's land position on Parramatta Road, Annandale has probably done the venue's viability few favours, as has the tricky equation of presenting and pricing food and beverages to be both profitable and reasonable.
Despite the financial difficulties, Misbrener looks back on the past six years with affection. "I created something that was a dream," he says. "It's been a 'truly memorable' experience, as Lloyd Swanton[bassist with the Necks and the catholics] put it so nicely. I am proud of it. I'm proud of the achievements. I'm proud of the associations. I'm proud of the education - there's no degrees in what I've learnt."
Reflecting the venue's active support for creative music, Misbrener suggested Isaacs put together something on a larger scale than the trios and quartets that have recently occupied the pianist. Isaacs, renowned as a classical as well as a jazz composer, responded by writing a tribute called the Side-Wise Suite.
"We'll all miss it," says Isaacs, observing that many bands have developed there that otherwise would not have been born.
"When a venue lasts six years, it burns itself indelibly into the consciousness, so that when we're all 60 or 70 we'll be telling the young kids about this venue called the Side-On."
The suite will be played by a sextet including guitarist James Muller, trombonist Dave Panichi, saxophonist Dan Waples, bassist Cameron Undy and drummer Felix Bloxsom.
The Side-On's intimacy is a stark contrast to the concert-hall dimensions of Isaacs's previous project - a 50-minute program for a jazz trio and symphony orchestra, which he performed at a classical piano festival in Latvia.
He was commissioned to compose and orchestrate this program within a minuscule four weeks. Following his Keeping the Standards CD collaboration with the Americans Jay Anderson and Adam Nussbaum, he decided on a ballads program, which had other benefits.
"Writing slow music in a short space of time is more practical - less notes per minute, quite simply," Isaacs says. "It takes so much longer to write fast music. And, of course, it's not quite as daunting as it sounds, because the trio could play by itself for substantial periods of time, and I could do some solo work."
The successful performance was replayed in full the next night on Latvian national television. Isaacs was told there would also be a review, but he could not find it until he closed the newspaper and there it was, on the front page.
Next month he will play at a festival in Romania, a jazz club in Turkey and a hotel in Bangkok. Meanwhile, he will be putting everything into ensuring the Side-On gets a worthy farewell.
The venue finally closes on April 30, with a noon-till-late mini-festival, taking in about 10 bands, including the Transylvaniacs and Aronas.
Mark Isaacs plays at the Side-On Cafe on Friday and Saturday.

It appears that there is a bug in the C++ compiler. The bug manifests itself only in 64 bit mode in classes (and structs) with virtual functions, custom-aligned members (16-or-more byte alignment) and bit fields. If bit field in such class is the last member, then class instances will have the vtable pointer put at wrong offset (shifted by 8 bytes). As a result, calling virtual functions of such instance will crash the program. To work around the problem and fix such class one can: a) inherit from some other class that contain virtual functions/vtable pointer b) move around class members so that bit field does not appear at the last position The bug is present in both VS2010 & VS2012.
Please wait...

My Story & Several Questions
First, I apologize for the long post. I am just getting started with rifle hunting. Let me start out by saying many years ago I took up bowhunting and that essentially ended my gun hunting for many years. As a youngster I was an avid bird hunter and hunted deer with a rifle and slug shotgun in Michigan.
I started out bowhunting with a recurve and never did get into compound bows. I made some of my own longbows and have harvested countless animals, including elk with them. I made my own wood arrows and some of my own stone and metal broadheads.
A couple of years ago I was chasing a huge bull elk during the early archery season. I never did get him within bow range and a friend said I should go out during the general season with him. I didn't even own a rifle but he let me borrow one of his. He reloaded his ammo. We went to the range and did some sighting and practicing. We both ended up harvesting an elk that season but not the bull I saw several times during the archery season. I had a great time, though. The next season I borrowed a rifle from another friend and harvested another elk.
Now, I have purchased a rifle and plan on purchasing another as well. I want to reload my own ammo. It reminds me of making my wooden arrows. To me both are great hobbies.
I have the ability to practice at very long ranges at a friends ranch and up to 400 yards at the local gun range.
The easy way to start reloading appears to be purchasing a kit but I don't think I want to go that direction. I have pretty much decided to go with either the Redding Big Boss press or the Forster Co-Ax (I am leaning toward the Forster). For case trimming I have read good stuff about the Wilson and Forster. The Wilson has a micrometer option from Sinclair that lets you dial overall length. How do you figure out the trim length with the Forster? I like the idea that the Forster has the 3 in 1 cutter that trims, deburs and chamfers in one step. Has anyone used this and does it do the job? And about deburing and chamfering, I have read the Wilson attachment doesn't work so well because their case holders are not all the same diameter. I am interested in how everyone completes these processes.
Then comes scales. I've seen an article and video about the Sartorius GD503. Quite a scale but no way am I spending $1325.00 to measure powder. How accurate are the beam scales and is there a good, accurate, repeatable digital scale that is reasonably priced? My plan is to get a cheap powder measure and set it to throw light and then trickle each charge on a scale.
What else do I need to get started reloading? I know I need dies and lube etc.
The rifle I have is a Remington 700 CDL SF. I am either going to have it pillar and glass bedded or have a Whidden V-Block installed. Any advise on which direction to go here? I also need to add a scope and mounts. I have allowed up to $700 for a scope and would like suggestions on make and model people are happy with. For the base and rings I have been thinking about the Murphy Precision. They support this website and appear to be well thought of.
Any additional tips would be appreciated. Again, sorry for such a long post. Thanks in advance for the feed back.

Re: My Story & Several Questions
Sorry if i missed it but what caliber are u shooting?
As far as scopes I only ever owned leupolds once i could afford to buy my own and have been getting into alot of others. I know NF is out of budget but I have been reading good things about Vortex I actually just ordered one for a coyote gun. I have friends who praise Burris and Nikon I personally have no expeirence with either other then a Burris 1.75-5 on a marlin guide gun i have and it seem fine on there.
As far as reloading like u have found out the sky or better yet budget is the limit I personally use a scale I bought at a government auction that came from a post office. It is accurate as can be but a little tedious i become good friends with the powder thrower.
Good luck with reloading i have been doing it for 20+ years and still learn things all the time

Re: My Story & Several Questions
My first advice would be to have a good smith do a complete bed and float job on your rifle including installing steel or aluminum pillar blocks. There are also some nylon pillars available but I'm not convinced they are as effective.
Secondly I would advise saving another couple of hundred bucks and that will enable you to broaden your scope choices considerably.
Look at the 4.5-14 x 44 zeiss conquests at the lower end and the Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14x50 at the high end. The vortex Viper PST in the 4-16x60 is decent glass as well. I just bought one of the latter in fact.
Don't be afraid of buying used scopes of these three brands either. They have good reliability anyway along with lifetime warranties.
I'll let others advise you on reloading but I especially am fond of the Swift SiroccoII, Hornady Interbond, and Nosler Accubond for great High BC hunting bullets you can rely on with every shot.

Re: My Story & Several Questions
I guess I did forget to mention the caliber. I currently have a 260 Remington with 24" barrel.
I was thinking about picking up something in 338 but am not completely sure yet. I was specifically looking at a 338 RCM.
I am going to have the action bedded. And I have thought about the Whidden V-Block. Not sure which way to go. This is the next step, though. Then I'll need to look at scope, base and rings. I appreciate the thought on scopes WildRose. The choices are so numerous and confusing. I'm not sure what retical to go with or anything. I was also looking at the Leupold CDS system.

Bob before buying a .338 ask yourself one important question. Why?
The most popular caliber for Elk and Moose sized game in europe is the 6.5x55. The 6.5's also pretty much rule the plains game hunting in Africa, particularly SA where some of the largest species of antelope in the world are found and are considerably larger than the average Elk killed in the US.
Now I'm not saying I believe the 6.5's are the best, in fact I specifically own 7mm STW's, 300wm's and a 300 Rum Specifically for LR shooting (beyond 600yds) on Large wild boar (over 500lbs) as well as for my eventual Elk, Moose, and Grizzly hunts.
I just see no need to spend the extra money on gear, ammo, reloading components etc and put up with the extra muzzle blast and recoil
There's a reason you can pick up so many fantastic deals on used .338's and that's because for many they come to the same realization after shooting just a few boxes of shells through them.
The are amazing weapons and beyond 1,200yds they will do things even the big 300's cannot do but only a tiny handful of even us dedicated LR hunters will actually have such a need.
As for scopes. If your limit for shooting is going to be 800yds or less then the CDS and similar type systems will work very well for you but they do limit you essentially to one load and if you change altitudes by more than 4000' you really do need to get multiple dials for the different elevations or they will not be particularly accurate.
For myself I prefer to just use a standard Leupold TMR or Mil dot, or my IOR's with the MP8 which I dearly love.
All the best.

Re: My Story & Several Questions
for a scale/ powder thrower, I use the chargemaster combo and would never go back. I have a rcbs beam scale as well and it works great. I used it now to check my thrown loads periodically and have found the chargemaster to be very accurate for precision reloading

Re: My Story & Several Questions
The extra recoil and muzzle blast etc. is why I haven't done anything on a 2nd rifle. The two I borrowed were a 280 Remington and a 7mm08 Remington. I harvested an elk with each and neither took a single step.
I shot a 338 Win Mag and the recoil was not what I would call comfortable. I also shot a 300 Win Mag and that wasn't too bad but probably the upper end of what I would want to shoot very often.
I have made up my mind, at this point, to finish the 260 Remington and get a season or two under my belt before I worry about adding a second rifle. I started looking at some of the higher end scopes, as you suggested, and by the time I get a scope mounted and this rifle bedded and get some reloading equipment, I am going to have a significant investment.

There was no grill in it, I have the headlights on my car but I can put them back with the car. Id take $700 OBO for the car and engine together. Thanks

Liposuction Bunbury
Back to Liposuction WA
Treatment Overview
Liposuction removes fat from your body using suction. During liposuction, small, thin, blunt-tipped tubes (cannula) are inserted through tiny cuts in the skin. Fat is suctioned out through these tubes as the doctor moves the tubes around under the skin to target specific fat deposits.
In recent years, improved techniques have made liposuction safer, easier, and less painful. These newer techniques include:
- Tumescent liposuction. A local anesthetic is used to numb the area of your body where the tube will be inserted. Next, a large amount of an anesthetic solution containing lidocaine and epinephrine is injected into the fatty tissue before traditional liposuction is done. Tumescent liposuction may not require general anesthesia (which makes you sleep through the procedure).
- Ultrasound-assisted liposuction. This technique uses ultrasound to liquefy the fat, which makes it easier to remove. This technique may be particularly helpful in removing fat from the upper abdomen, sides, and back.
- Laser-assisted liposuction. This technique uses low-energy waves to liquefy the fat, which is removed through a small cannula.
Liposuction is usually done as an outpatient procedure in a properly equipped doctor's office, ambulatory surgery center, or hospital. In general, it does not require an overnight hospital stay unless a large volume of fat is being removed. Local anesthesia is used in some cases. And you may or may not be given a sedative to help you relax. If a large area or volume of fat is being treated, general anesthesia or deep sedation with a local anesthetic may be used.
What To Expect After Treatment
After the procedure, the area of the body that was treated is firmly wrapped to help reduce swelling, bruising, and pain. Elastic bandages and tape, support hose (such as those used to treat varicose veins), a special girdle, or another type of firm-fitting garment may be used, depending on which part of the body was treated. You may have to wear the compression garment or wrap for 3 to 4 weeks. Expect a lot of bruising and swelling for at least the first 7 to 10 days.
Fluid may drain from the incision sites for several days. You may be given antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection.
Most people are able to get up and move around as soon as the treatment is finished and after the effects of the anesthesia and any sedation have worn off. You can return to your normal activities as soon as you feel comfortable, although this may take several days to a few weeks. Most people can return to work within a few days. Recovery may take longer if large areas were treated.
Why It Is Done
The main purpose of liposuction is to reshape one or more areas of your body, not to reduce body weight. Liposuction is typically used on "problem" areas that have not responded well to diet and exercise. These areas are often on the outer thighs and hips on women and the waist and back on men. The face, neck, abdomen, back, buttocks, legs, and upper arms are all commonly treated areas.
Liposuction is sometimes used in combination with other cosmetic surgery procedures, such as a "tummy tuck" (abdominoplasty), breast reduction, or face-lift.
Liposuction may also be used to treat certain medical conditions, including:
- Benign fatty tumors (lipomas).
- Abnormal enlargement of the male breasts (gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia).
- Problems with metabolism of fat in the body (lipodystrophy).
- Excessive sweating in the armpit area (axillary hyperhidrosis).
Liposuction is not used to treat obesity. It will not get rid of cellulite or stretch marks.
Liposuction Bunbury: How Well It Works
Liposuction is usually very effective at removing fat deposits in small areas. But if you regain weight after having liposuction, the fatty bulges that were removed are likely to return or may appear in a different place.
Some improvement in body contour is usually noticeable right after surgery. And improvement may continue for several weeks or even months as the swelling goes away. The full effects of having liposuction may not be visible for several months to a year.
Liposuction (except for laser liposuction) generally does not tighten the skin over the treated area. After fat has been removed, the skin around the area may be somewhat loose. It may take up to 6 months for the skin to tighten around the treated area. Some people's skin is very elastic and retracts more quickly than other people's skin. Younger skin tends to have greater elasticity than older skin.
People who expect liposuction to help them lose weight are usually disappointed.
Liposuction done by an experienced doctor in a properly equipped facility is usually safe.1 Having more than one area treated, or having a very large area treated, may increase the risk of complications during or after the procedure.
Common side effects of liposuction include:
- Temporary swelling, bruising, soreness, and numbness in and around the treated areas.
- Irritation and minor scarring around the incision sites where the cannulas were inserted.
- Baggy or rippling skin. The skin will usually tighten and retract after a few months. But in some people the skin may remain somewhat loose.
Less common side effects include:
- Permanent color changes in the skin.
- Uneven skin surface over the treated area.
- Damage to the nerves and skin. The heat generated during ultrasound-assisted liposuction may burn the skin or damage the tissue under the skin.
If you gain weight after having liposuction, your body may store the new fat in a different place than where you had fat cells removed. New fat can grow deep inside your body, around your organs, such as your heart or liver. This type of fat can be more harmful to your body than fat that is stored near the surface of your body, such as on your hips or thighs. So people who have liposuction need to be careful not to gain extra weight.
Dangerous complications
Although death is very rare with liposuction, it can happen. If you are having a large amount of fat removed, are obese, or have health problems, your risks go up. Possible complications include:
- Excessive blood and fluid loss, leading to shock. But this is extremely unlikely.
- Fat clots or blood clots, which may travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) and become life-threatening.
- Buildup of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema). This is most likely to occur when a large volume of fluid is injected into the body.
- Infection. In some cases, antibiotics may be given before or after liposuction to help prevent infection.
- Toxic reaction to the injected solution (lidocaine toxicity), especially if large areas or many areas are treated at one time.
- A puncture into the cavity containing the abdominal organs or damage to an organ such as the spleen.
Liposuction should not be done in people who have severe heart problems, who have blood-clotting disorders (such as thrombophilia, a disorder in which the blood clots easily or excessively), or during pregnancy.
What To Think About
Liposuction should be done only by a doctor who has special training in liposuction and surgery of the skin and in how to respond to complications during surgery. You will also be at less risk for complications if liposuction is not done at the same time as other cosmetic procedures.
If you are trying to lose weight, liposuction is not a substitute for exercise and a balanced diet. In fact, most cosmetic surgeons agree that the best candidates for liposuction are healthy people who are at or close to a healthy weight but who have stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to exercise.
Before you undergo liposuction, you should undergo a complete physical exam so that your doctor can determine if you are an acceptable candidate for liposuction. It is important for you to discuss any medical conditions that you have and to tell your doctor about any medications that you are taking including any herbal or other non-prescription ones. If your doctor decides that you can have liposuction, discuss the procedure thoroughly with him or her before deciding if you want to go through with the procedure. Just because a physician says that you may have liposuction does not mean that you must decide to have liposuction. You may still change your mind even after discussing the procedure with a physician.
Your physician should be able to answer any questions that you have about liposuction including questions about what to expect during and after liposuction and the complications or problems that sometimes occur with liposuction. Some physicians will provide written information about liposuction. You may also take information from this website to your appointment to discuss with your physician.
You may want to have someone drive you to your appointment for liposuction. You may be tired or uncomfortable after liposuction and unable to drive yourself home. Discuss this with your physician before the day of your procedure.
Your physician may prescribe an antibiotic drug for you to take before and after the surgery. This is to prevent infections.
On the day of the liposuction surgery, the physician will mark your body with a pen to indicate where the fat is to be removed. Then you will receive anesthesia, that is medicine that prevents you from feeling pain. Some physicians use only local anesthesia, that is, anesthesia that they inject with a syringe or pump into the area where they will do the liposuction. The anesthesia medicine is injected along with a lot of fluid, usually buffered salt water and epinephrine, a drug to reduce bleeding. Large volumes of liquid may be injected, until the skin is very firm. If your physician uses only this kind of local anesthesia, also sometimes called tumescent anesthesia, then you will be awake during the procedure. Other physicians use local anesthesia and a sedative that can be taken by mouth or injected from a syringe. Still others prefer to use general anesthesia, that is to use anesthesia that will put you to sleep during the procedure. This is usually done in a hospital.
Once the anesthesia is working, the physician will make an incision (cut) in the area where the liposuction will be performed. A canula, a hollow tube that is about the size and shape of a skinny pen, will be inserted into the incision. The physician moves this canula back and forth to suction out the fat. The fat, and liquid that has been injected, are collected in a flask. The physician will monitor the amount of fluid and fat that are removed. Because you will be losing liquid and fat from your body, it may be necessary to replace some of that fluid. This is done with an intravenous (i.v.) line for the replacement of fluid.
Depending upon the amount of fat removed and the location of the surgery (doctor's office, surgical center, hospital), you may leave the doctor's office soon after the surgery or you may spend the night in the surgical center or hospital. Ask your doctor how long it will be before you should be able to return to your normal level of activity or if you will need to miss work after liposuction.
The cuts where the doctor inserted the canula may be leaky or drain fluids for several days. In some cases, the doctor may insert a drainage tube to drain fluid away from the wound.
You will wear special tight garments to keep your skin compressed after the liposuction procedure. Your doctor will tell you how long to wear these, usually for weeks. Some doctors provide these garments but others will tell you where to purchase them before your surgery.
Your doctor will also probably give you some after-surgery instructions. This will include information about wearing compression garments, taking an antibiotic if that has been prescribed, and the level of activity that is safe for you after your liposuction procedure. You should also have information about signs of problems that you should be aware of, for instance the signs of infections or other problems that you need to know about.
When the anesthesia wears off, you may have some pain. If the pain is extreme or of a long duration, you should contact your physician. You will also have some swelling after the surgery. In some cases, this swelling will remain for weeks or even months. If you have pain and swelling, this may be the sign of infection and you should contact your physician.
You will have scars, usually small, where the physician cuts your skin and inserts the canula to remove fat tissue.
Will I look the way I want after liposuction?
While medical complications are important, the reason that people have liposuction surgery is for cosmetic reasons. The cosmetic effect after liposuction may be very good and many patients report being satisfied. However, it is possible that the cosmetic effect will not be what you expected. In other words, your appearance after liposuction may not be what you expected or wanted. Some physicians counsel their patients that reasonable expectations are important. It may be difficult to have reasonable expectations after reading advertisements and looking at pictures of women and men who have had liposuction. Remember that advertising is made to make you want to purchase a product or service. Advertisements do not usually tell you about problems or shortcomings of the product or service. If you want to know more about advertising ethics, or want to report on false advertising, explore the following website:
Some cosmetic shortcomings after liposuction include:
- There may be scars at the site where the doctor made the cut to insert the liposuction canula. These scars are usually small and fade with time but in some people, scars may be larger or more prominent.
- The liposuction site may have a wavy or bumpy appearance after liposuction.
- Liposuction results may not be permanent. If you gain weight after liposuction surgery, the fat may return to sites where you had liposuction or to other sites.
- Results may be less dramatic than what you were expecting and this can be disappointing.

Minimum Payments Can Undo a Deal
For many of us, the holiday season and shopping go hand-in-hand; it can be tough not to pounce on those big deals when you see them. But if you use a credit card to pay, remember you're borrowing money you'll have to pay back. What's more, if you're counting on making only your card's minimum payment, you could end up paying much more in interest than you'd save on the deal.
Say you charge $1,500 for the latest electronic gadgets on a credit card with a 19 percent interest rate. If you repay only the minimum amount each month, and your minimum is 4 percent of the outstanding balance (the lowest amount permitted by some issuers), your first payment will be $60.
Question is: If you charge nothing else on that card and continue to pay the minimum each month, how many months will you make payments before you pay off the balance?
It would take you eight years. That's 106 payments — and you will have paid more than $889 in interest. That means those gadgets would cost you at least $2,389 in the long term.
Not such a deal after all… that is, unless you're looking for a raw one.
So, before you're charging off to the big holiday sale, learn more about paying down credit card debt and use this credit card payment calculator to plan your purchases. You can also watch this video about making credit card payments:
4% monthly minimum payment? That's about double what most credit card companies require. I recommend a 5% monthly minimum payment. I guess the problem is as the debt goes down, so does what 4% or 5% is of the total due, thereby extending the debt for a longer time. Still, 4% or 5% is vastly superior to only paying 2% of the total due. I call a 2% monthly minimum payment the equivalent of "Credit Card Crack".
i was talked into a credit card at a dentist office, she gave my info over the phone as i telling her my social and she said the wrong number and they gave me 8,000 in credit......now that was last June paying the minimum on 1,200....I was tricked into this card....can you help me...i been paying 25.00 a month for 8 months...now they want 400.00 for 1 month and 125.00 for 2 months......can you help me and my credit?
I"m sorry but there has been a miscalculation made in this article. I think the calculation was made with the idea that the 4% monthly minimum payment reduces each month as the principle goes down, thus extending the payment to as many as 106 payments. However, in your article the claim is made that it would take 106 monthly payments of 60 dollars, which works out to 6,360 dollars, which is several thousand dollars more than the total amount this article claims would be paid.
Please keep in mind that besides the miscalculation made in this article, many credit card companies have a 15 to 25 dollar monthly minimum payment which would also shorten the life of this debt as it shrunk.
The real lesson in my opinion is that 4% or 5% monthly minimum credit card payments are vastly superior to 2% monthly minimum payments, I think that is the real story here and one I totally agree with.
-Alessandro Machi, Debt Neutrality Petition Author.
The 25 dollar a month monthly minimum payment possibly will shorten the length one has to make payments. Perhaps you could do a follow up showing how much more effective a 5% monthly minimum payment is versus a 2% monthly minimum payment, especially as the debt winds down and the 25 dollar a month minimum kicks in.
Several years ago, our credit card companies started issuing Minimum Payment Warnings, great. Issue is I have been paying twice the minimum amount for five years (which according to their calculations.) would have the account paid off, nope not even close. To whom do I complain?
You can file a consumer complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at www.ftc.gov/complaint.
As I explained in another response to this article, as you pay down the debt, the amount of that 4% payment drops every month as well. Isn't the real story here that you probably had thousands of dollars of debt and now have just hundreds of dollars of debt?
Making a 5% monthly minimum payment every month will short circuit the mistake of running up a credit card debt above and beyond and hope of every paying it back.

Diagnosed with Tinnitus before I retired from USAF. 22 years around C-130's and tons of shooting left me with constant ringing in both ears. Since that was service related, it equals 10% disability by the VA as well.
I have it but not from shooting...from being attacked and beaten continuously in the head with a 4 D Cell Mag lite flash light. Go figure the only f'n day I didn't carry my pistol. To sum it up....Beaten so bad blood rushed from the lacerations on my head like a open faucet. Couldn't see from the blood getting into my eyes and my jaw had became misaligned for a few weeks, hearing came back after a while, and still have the long cuts on my head and a slight to normal ringing in my right ear. Almost died and spent a few days in the hospital. The "not so nice guy" (for the PC a'hols) was trying to rob me.
Gods gift of selective hearing is the ability to tune out things that need not be heard...
I'm 26 and have constant ringing in both ears from being an idiot when I was younger and shooting with no protection.
Mine ring so loud, I'm surprised you haven't answered the phone. I blame it on 18 years of shooting rivets in airplanes.
wow. i didnt expect to see this pole swung THAT much over to the bad side. sorry to hear that (no pun intended).
I have great hearing, but am still younge. I always wear hearing protection at the range at by machines @ work. I take no chances.
Thankfully we get our hearing tested every year at work so If I start to loose it I should be able to see it coming
I have a little hearing loss - due to age. My wife says it's "selective." Or as Art Garfunkel wrote, "a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."
Unfortunately, hearing loss is cumulative and permanent. All of our kids in the 4-H Shooting Sports program wear ear and eye protection anytime any type shooting is being conducted - pellet, rim fire, center fire or even dry fire. Any time parents are observing and are within the range area, they are required to wear ear and eye protection as well. Parents should be setting a good example for the kids.
I have found that my hearing is going; mine is not shooting related though. It isstupid teen years; I listened to my music with headphones a full blast. I mother said "I can hear that over here! You are going to distroy your hearing!" As usual mom was right!
I sometimes hear things that seem so real. I hear music that isn't there, voices that aren't real and other things that make me get up and check. Sometimes I can just listen closely and make the sounds change and then I figure out what is going on.
I would love to stop this ringing in my ears. Happens 24/7. I don't always pay as much attention to it as other times, especially when I have some background noise. When its bad though, its bad.
Some hearing loss, background noise often prevents me from hearing conversations clearly.
Have Tinnitus, ears ring 24/7. Plus high frequency hearing loss, get disability for it from VA.
Spent Army time in infantry, combat engineers (demolition).
Retired US Army
Best darn reason for not making suppressors registered NFA item! Amazingly, we are behind many European countries in this matter.
I'm married, hearing loss is a blessing.
