Dan Disch (pronounced DISH) enters his first season at North Carolina where he will serve as the defensive coordinator and coach the secondary. Disch served in the same role under head coach Larry Fedora last year at Southern Miss where he installed his brand of the 4-2-5 defensive scheme.
In 2011, the Golden Eagles improved from 75th nationally in pass efficiency defense to seventh, and were ranked 22nd in rushing defense, allowing just 112.6 rushing yards per game. Disch's defense set an NCAA record with 11 interceptions returned for touchdowns.
Overall, USM ranked 29th in total defense and 28th in scoring defense as the Golden Eagles won the 2011 Conference USA championship over previously unbeaten Houston and then won their school-record 12th game over Nevada in the Hawaii Bowl. In the final regular season top 25 polls, Southern Miss was No. 21 in the USA Today Coaches poll and No. 22 in the Associated Press poll.
Before arriving in Hattiesburg, Disch spent six seasons at Illinois, where he served as the special teams coordinator/outside linebackers coach (2005), special teams coordinator/linebackers coach (2006), co-defensive coordinator/linebackers (2007-09) and linebackers coach (2010). He served under Ron Zook for seven seasons, including one year at Florida (2004) where he coached the secondary. Fedora also was a member of the Gator staff in 2004.
At Carolina, Disch will be reunited on the defensive staff with Vic Koenning. The two worked together for one season at Illinois in 2010.
Disch's linebackers were a strong point of the Illini defense in 2010, as Martez Wilson collected 112 tackles, tied for fourth in the Big Ten. Wilson also ranked among Big Ten leaders in tackles for loss. In 2009, one of Disch's linebackers again led the team in tackles and ranked among the Big Ten leaders as Ian Thomas racked up 95 stops.
In 2008, for the third-straight season, Illinois' middle linebacker led the Big Ten in tackles and was a first-team All-Big Ten selection. After J Leman in 2006 and 2007, Brit Miller averaged 11.0 tackles per game. The Illini also led the Big Ten in tackles for loss and sacks, in which Miller was also the team leader.
Disch's 2007 Fighting Illini defense was one of the best in the Big Ten, led by consensus All-American and first-team All-Big Ten selection Leman. The heart of the Illini defense, Leman finished sixth on the Illinois career tackles list and ranked fifth in all-time tackles for loss. Illinois finished 20th in the AP top 25 poll and played Southern Cal in the Rose Bowl, the school's first appearance in the Rose Bowl since 1984.
In 2006, Disch's linebacking corps helped the Illini make a large improvement in total and rushing defense. The team bettered its numbers from the 2005 season by over 160 total yards. Leman earned first-team All-Big Ten honors as well as honorable mention Sports Illustrated All-America honors. He led the Big Ten with 12.7 tackles per game and ranked 10th in the nation in TFL per game.
As the special teams coach for the Illini in 2005, Disch tutored All-Big Ten and All-America punter Steve Weatherford who, with a 42.6 average, became the school's all-time leader in punting average. Just one year later, more special teams records were broken under Disch's watch as running back Pierre Thomas set a new mark for kickoff return yards in a career. He averaged 31.9 yards per return in 2006 and ranks third on the school's all-time return average list with a 25.3 mark.
In 2004 at Florida, Disch rebuilt a secondary that lost all four starters from the previous year, yet his new group still recorded 16 interceptions. The production came from a group that entered the season with just four career picks. Safety Jarvis Herring ranked third in the SEC in interceptions per game, while corner Dee Webb was fourth in passes defended.
Prior to entering the collegiate ranks, Disch spent 22 years coaching high school football in the Jacksonville, Fla., area, including 16 seasons as the head coach of Ed White High School, where he posted a record of 122-55 to become the school's all-time winningest coach. While under Disch's lead, Ed White made 11 playoff appearances, won seven district and six conference championships, and reached the state quarterfinals four times. Ed White also was ranked in the Top-10 of the state's final football poll eight times. Additionally, five of Disch's high school assistant coaches went on to land head coaching jobs.
Disch is a 1981 graduate of Florida State University. He was born in Jacksonville, Fla., and is married to the former Janet Johnson. The couple has three daughters: Chandler, Erica and Virginia.

Collaborative care interventions may improve outcomes for depression symptoms, remission, depression-free days, and quality of life in primary care patients experiencing both depression and other chronic medical conditions, according to a new research review from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) Effective Health Care Program. Little evidence was available on the effect of collaborative care treatment on medical outcomes for arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and HIV, except for HbA1c (a measurement of blood sugar) in diabetes, which showed no difference between collaborative care treatment and usual care. The review recommends that future studies examine a broader range of medical conditions and compare variations of practice-based interventions.

China to award own peace prize ahead of Nobel award
BEIJING (Reuters) - China will award its answer to the Nobel Peace Prize a day before it is bestowed upon jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, giving the "Confucius Peace Prize" to former Taiwan vice-president Lien Chan.
China was furious after Liu won the Nobel Peace Prize in October, saying it was an "obscenity" that it was given to a man it considers a subversive and a criminal.
The newly created Confucius prize, named after the ancient Chinese philosopher the Communist Party has recently co-opted as its own, was suggested in an opinion piece in the popular tabloid the Global Times three weeks ago.
"It is a kind of peaceful response to the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize and ... explains the Chinese people's views of peace," organizers said in an emailed statement Wednesday.
The award ceremony will take place in Beijing Thursday, the day before Liu is formally awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo. Neither he nor his wife have been allowed by the Chinese government to go to Oslo. Liu's wife has been put under house arrest.
Taiwan's Lien won out over five other nominees: Nobel Peace Prize winners Mahmoud Abbas and Nelson Mandela, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Chinese poet Qiao Damo and the Chinese-appointed Panchen Lama, Tibetan Buddhism's second-most important figure.
"Lien Chan stood out from the six nominees as he built a bridge of peace between Taiwan and the (Chinese) mainland, bringing happiness and good fortune to the people on both sides of the (Taiwan) Strait," the statement said.
The invitation to the award ceremony was apparently issued by a section of the Culture Ministry in charge of protecting local arts, suggesting at least a measure of government support for the prize. But officials reached by telephone sounded mystified.
"Everyone keeps calling to ask about this," said one publicity official at the ministry. "We don't know." Continued...

A good online source for wax tarts?
hello everyone,
I used to buy them from a couple of sites online, but they seem to no longer be in business!
Does anyone out there have a good source for them? My supply is dwindling and I would love to find a new home based business that sells them.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Have you tried etsy?
Another thing to consider, buy a bottle of essential oil in a variety you like. A couple of drops will refresh the scent of the wax. Add it once the puck starts to melt, or melt them down and remold your own.Come on people now

Teen charged in pipe bomb discovery
CANTON, Ga. - A 14-year-old was charged after authorities found a pipe bomb at a Canton home Monday.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation were called in over suspicion of explosive devices in the morning. Canton police blocked off the area around the home on Woodbury Lane while agents investigated.
Authorities determined that there were pipe bombs in the home, and the ATF and GBI exploded one device. The devices were then shipped out to be analyzed by the ATF.
"From their appearance, they looked to be extremely dangerous, but we don't know what the contents of each device is. That's why they're being sent to be analyzed," Canton Asst. Police Chief Todd Vande Zande told Channel 2's Ryan Young.
Young was at the home as the teen and his parents, Sandra and Brian Howell, were taken to police headquarters to be interviewed. The boy is charged with possession and manufacturing of destructive devices.
Police said the home has been cleared of all devices.

Dog Tracking Collars - Buyer's Guide
Every dog tracking collar system is made up of two components the hand-held receiver and the transmitter or dog tracking collar. The lightweight transmitter is a attached to a collar worn by the dog while hunting. The transmitter sends a short radio signal to the hand-held receiver every second on a specific frequency. The hand-held receiver listens for this signal, measuring the strength of the signal emitted from the dog tracking collar. Many of dog tracking collar receivers are equipped with a directional antenna to help determine the direction of the signal and the bearing to the dog.

Dog Tracking Collars - Terminology
- When manufacturers state the range of a dog tracking collar they are referring the the distance the collar can be detected over a flat and unobstructed terrain. These distances are quoted with under ideal circumstances; a clear line of sight and a fully charged transmitter. Range can be reduced with differences in terrain or a weak collar. However, all the dog tracking collars we carry are engineered to work in the toughest terrains without dramatically compromising or weakening the signal.
- Many of the hunting dog tracking collars we offer are equipped with behavior circuits like bark indicators, tree switches, pointing mode to help you understand the behavior of your hunting companion while he/she is out of sight. Bark Indicators - tells you if his dog is on a fresh game trail. Tree Switch - Tells you if the dog has treed his query. Pointing Mode - tells you if the dog has become stationary or on point.
Radio Bands / Radio Frequencies
- All Dog tracking collars operate on one or more different bands. Some models are capable of handling a single band while others are capable of tracking collars for dogs on multiple bands. The FCC has approved the following bands for North America - 216, 217, 218, 219, and 220 mhz. Each band is then divided into a thousand different frequencies from XXX.000 to XXX.999. If your dog tracking collar system is capable of tracking multiple collars on a single band (for example the 217 band) be sure you order collars with a large enough frequency gap to avoid overlapping. Depending on the receiver you choose you will be able to track from 1 to 1000 dogs.

The fanciful/deceptive artwork on Atari 2600 game packaging wasn't just a marketing come-on. It was an essential component of the gameplay itself, often the only way for us to know whether a certain clump of squares was supposed to be a dragon, a spaceship, or a linebacker. Peruse the gallery of kitsch classics below (all from boxes for Atari-manufactured games - no Activision, Imagic, etc.) and see how many you can name. One thing is certain: all of them were much more exciting than the games themselves.

I really enjoyed this article. The author knows the Niners are supposed to be the better team on paper. But he is following his gut and picking the Ravens because he thinks we just have "it" this year.
It's very telling that Justin Tuck agrees. Being on the Giants in the 2007 and 2011 seasons when they overcame the favored Pats, he knows a little something about what it means to click and believe in yourself. Tuck sees what a lot of other posters have observed this week as well: the Ravens seem calm, because why worry if you know you can do it?
Go Ravens.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Not all couples involved in a divorce may be cut out for a divorce resolution through conflict mediation, but if so, there are many benefits that can be reaped through the mediation process. Resolving your differences through mediation, especially when provided through the divorce services of an experienced divorce & mediation attorney, where the divorce law firm negotiation strategies always put your long-term interests, as well as those of your family members at the top of their priority list, can save you time, money and loads of acrimony and public display of private information.
Divorce Mediation in New Jersey, whether you are in Bergen County or anywhere else in the state, is handled as a voluntary process of self-determination, meaning you and your spouse create your own divorce resolution through the help of a mediator who serves as a facilitator during all law firm negotiation and family law and court actions. During facilitative divorce mediation a divorce mediator may only give you legal information, not legal advice.
During the mediation process, divorce mediators will make sure all of the appropriate issues are addressed but cannot declare the agreement between two people as "fair" or "unfair" to either party, as the mediation attorney does not represent either party in the divorce mediation process.
The entire mediation process is generally much less costly and takes place outside the courtroom. You will ultimately still appear in Court just to finalize the matter but all of the issues will be resolved prior to what is typically a quick courtroom appearance.

While some lawmakers and family members of crash victims have argued that such a ban would help save lives, other lawmakers point to studies that indicate bans in other states have not reduced crashes and are difficult to enforce. Perry has called such legislation "a government effort to micromanage the behavior of adults." But this time there may be enough support among legislators to override a potential veto.
Many bills were filed this session to crack down on texting while driving, but the furthest along is House Bill 63, filed by state Rep. Tom Craddick, R-Midland, which along with Senate Bill 28, by state Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, would make it a misdemeanor to type on a handheld device to send an electronic message while behind the wheel. HB 63 would create a fine of up to $100 for first-time charges, and $200 for repeat offenses.
There are exceptions in the bill for drivers who say they were simply looking up a number or using a cellphone to navigate with GPS technology.
There has been increasing publicity surrounding the problem of "distracted driving" in general and texting while driving in particular. On April 8, the Texas Department of Transportation launched a campaign urging drivers, via a series of public service announcements, to avoid "distracted driving."
The Texas A&M Transportation Institute found that "almost half of all Texas drivers in 2012 admit to regularly or sometimes talking on the cell phone while driving," but that "84.9 percent of Texas drivers think driving while talking on a cellphone is a very serious or somewhat serious threat to their personal safety." Neither group specifically supported the statewide ban.
At hearings and news conferences on the bill, family members of people killed in car accidents caused by texting while driving have urged lawmakers to give law enforcement tools to stop the practice. HB 63 is also known as the Alex Brown Memorial Act, named after a girl who died in a rollover accident on her way to school. She had been sending text messages to several friends. "All it takes is a split second to lose control," her mother, Jeanne Brown, told lawmakers in January.
In vetoing similar legislation in 2011, Perry said that it was already illegal to use a cellphone in a school zone and that a statewide ban would be an "overreach."
"We'll reserve all of our decisions on a bill until it comes to us in its final form," Perry spokesman Josh Havens said of the current proposal. He said the governor "believes that while texting while driving is not safe, the way to convince people not to do it is education, not government micromanagement."
The Legislature, however, can override a veto with a two-thirds vote from each chamber. Legislators cannot override a governor's veto after the session ends, but the governor has three weeks after the end of a session in which he can still veto bills. The House bill currently has more than 20 authors and coauthors.
Opponents of the bill have also said it would be difficult to enforce. There are similar bands in 39 other states and the District of Columbia, and police officers in Georgia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Massachusetts and Colorado have said it is difficult to tell the difference between sending text messages and legal uses of a cellphone, like looking up a number.
Experts are divided on the success of current bans. At a hearing on the bill last month, state Rep. George Lavender, R-Texarkana, pointed to a 2010 report by the Highway Loss Data Institute in which data from four states that had passed a ban showed "a slight increase in the frequency of insurance claims filed under collision coverage for damage to vehicles in crashes." He mentioned the possibility that drivers hold their phones lower when they are trying to avoid detection by police, and that this is more dangerous.
"The statistics show that [a ban] does not reduce accidents," Lavender said. "This is not going to get us where we need to be."
More than 25 cities in Texas have enacted their own bans on texting while driving, and San Antonio has reported issuing 1,400 citations since their ban was introduced in 2011.

Moyes was allowed to put a failing asset into BK, despite the NHL claiming he had not right to do so. The court never actually ruled on this point, but proceeded with a bankruptcy regardless-- so approval without delving into technicalities?
The court also said that Moyes did not have a right to sell a territory that did not belong to him. (Hamiltion) There was still some wiggle room here too however since the court heard witness estimates on the value of the market in Hamilton. A buyer would have to pay for Phoenix + the difference in value if Hamilton was worth more.
They never actually had to get to addressing that point legally since the BOG turned down Balsillie as a potential owner.
that was one of the more interesting aspects of the trial, i thot. both the league and balsillie offered economic evaluations of the hamilton market. both were quite positive and essentially differed only in value. i thot baum was very astute in obliging all parties to clearly think through their positions as well as their alternatives. and indeed he wasnt shy about offering advice with the occasional, "are you sure?".
re: BoG vote on Balsillie's "character", that was one of the more shameful elements of this whole saga. sure, jim played fast and hard, but even the rogues gallery sitting around the table must have recognized their hypocrisy, especially after having lauded balsillie as a saviour a couple years earlier, and then later admitting they'd still consider him. huh? what exactly are you actually saying, gary? it's hard to understand words that come out of both sides of your mouth.

Our Night At The Lone Star Rodeo
Friday night, me, Carsyn and our friends Chelsea and Brooks drove to the Muhlenberg County Ag and Convention Center for the Lone Star Rodeo. This was the first rodeo any of us had been to and we were pretty excited!
The venue, in my opinion, was the perfect size. The kids were so excited to see all of the "baby cows" and horses when we got there. Carsyn didn't quite understand why we couldn't go over and pet the horses, haha!
Sidenote: The venue is non-smoking and I'm pretty sure someone was smoking in the bathroom. C'mon people!! The exit to outside was only about 25 feet away from the bathroom, get a grip! 😉
So, they had a cute little best dressed cowboy/cowgirl contest before the show. These kids were so cute! Our kids loved the horses. Once the show was underway, a four-year-old girl and a woman in the rodeo rode out with the American flag. Carsyn soon informed me that she wanted to ride that horse and have that flag. Ha!
We had to leave early, because it didn't get started until 8pm and our two-and-a-half year old kiddos were getting pretty sleepy. But, we had a blast! The rodeo is awesome! And ladies, how did I not know how hot those cowboys are?!? Ha!
We'll definitely be back next year!

With the holidays over and many of us headed back to the steel and glass coffins we call office buildings, consider the following three bookstores; the melding of beauty and function is still alive in some places. These images are also proof that heaven will look a lot like a bookstore. And if you're looking for a bookstore pilgrimage in 2014 (and who isn't?), try any, or all, of these three:
|El Ateneo - Buenos Aires
El Ateneo Bookstore originally opened in 1919 as a theater named Teatro Gran Splendid. In its configuration as a theater it seated over 1000 people, and was converted into a cinema in the late 1920s. In 2000 it was leased by a bookstore conglomerate and was renovated for used as a bookshop. It is estimated that over 1 million people visit the store each year. Interestingly, the former theater boxes now serve as small reading rooms. This may be the most beautiful bookstore on the planet, and is one of the many reasons to travel to Buenos Aires.
|Selexyz Dominicanen - Maastricht, Netherlands
This amazing store is housed in an 800-year-old, former Dominican church that was being used to store bicycles. It is the perfect use for the building, transforming it into a Cathedral of Books and a must-see for book lovers traveling in the Netherlands.
|Livraria Lello - Porto, Portugal
Unlike the two previously mentioned bookstores, Livaria Lello is not in a building converted from other uses; it has been a bookshop since 1881. It has a beautiful staircase and more wood panels than you'll find in an English country manor. Definitely worth the side trip if you're visiting Lisbon, or anywhere else within driving (or train) distance.
And as a preemptive comment to the legions of Powell's Bookstore (Portland, OR) fans who will feel slighted by the list, Powells is an amazing place...but it's not that beautiful.

Christmas Express Draws Thousands
Published December 25th, 2013
Loading Video...
It's hard to imagine there would be a Polar Express here in Florida, let alone in the small town of Williston.
But a train whose history can be traced to the days of the Wild West now calls North Central Florida it's home.
This Christmas season, this train has added to it's history as this area's first-ever Christmas Express.
This narrow gauge train used to plow its way through the Rocky Mountains in the late 1800s but now, a hay field is where its tracks are laid.
Besides its historical presence, the locomotive stands out even more with a couple of thousand lights draped on it, and the wonder of this train is what keeps people coming back for more.
"We didn't know there was a full sized train out here in Williston!," said first-time visitor, Megan Conerly.
"He loves trains so we thought it would be a fun, Christmas holiday experience," said Williston resident Celia Westfall.
After languishing in a railroad boneyard for years and then refurbished for theme parks in California, the Kirby family found this train sitting in the woods in the back of an old RV park in Williston.
Since then, they've laid tracks for it on the farm and held a few events this year, with the locomotive as their center piece.
But they say this Christmas Express event has been their most successful ever.
"We've had alot of families that are coming back and they see the progress we're making and it's rewarding to be recognized,"said Daryl Kirby, owner of Kirby Family Farm.
Twelve families from out of state have visited the Christmas Express so far this year, some coming as far as New York and Maryland.
And while a full train took people out for a ride, people can watch a movie while waiting to ride the train.
A live nativity, food and drinks, Santa and Rudolph are all on hand.
It's a dream come true for some, young or old and it's a memory that some will always associate it with a Merry Christmas.
The train will still be running three days after Christmas. For more information on how to get your tickets, visit www.kirbyfarm.com.

'Ello ello, look who it is again, Mr Rohan Anderson with another mouth watering meal to share! This super easy broad bean salad was inspired by a visit to Daylesford's much loved restaurant Breakfast and Beer – well worth a visit when you're next in spa country!
Tarragon Broad Beans! Recipe and all photos – Rohan Anderson
For years I'd been growing broad beans as green mulch. The beans are legumes so they have this little gardening trick of putting nitrogen back into the soil that helps other crops grow a little more vivaciously. I'd tried to eat them raw a few times but was often put off by the bitterness. I was a total broad bean rookie.
I'd had a friend try to convince me to eat them but I was still reluctant, then I had a broad bean salad made at this ace little place in Daylesford called Breakfast and Beer. It was a food triumph! Finally I had a way that I could enjoy these green beauties. I couldn't wait for that season's beans to mature so I could try to make a meal with flavours similar to what I'd tasted at Ben's.
There were three main flavours present – lemon, tarragon and a cheese. I didn't know the amounts, volumes and couldn't pick the exact cheese that was used in the original recipe, but I figured playing around with this triple threat combo would garner a nice result!
I'm not too fussy with measurements or stating that you can only use parmigiano reggiano not pecorino or grano pardano. Use what you have in your fridge and what suits the budget, in any case the difference will give you a plethora of results.
If you don't have French tarragon growing in the herb garden you can use chervil, or dill, it's more so to bring the aniseed flavour to the dish, without it being too overpowering. A dish can be ruined with such a strong dominant flavour like aniseed so I add a little, taste, and then add more if I feel like it needs it.
This salad by no means is super fancy, but I think its special because most of the ingredients can be found in your backyard, meaning it's free and there isn't a preservative or nasty chemical to be seen. And the best part is that you can eat it all the way to Christmas and a little bit into the New Year!
Photos – Rohan Anderson
Basket full of fresh broad beans
Handful of fresh French tarragon (or chervil)
Cheese (a sharp pecorino or parmigianino work equally well)
Extra virgin olive oil
I x lemon
I'll pick a basket of fresh beans from the garden. Or if I've been raiding the broad bean patch and it's a bit light, I'll either buy them at the market or I'll get them from other gardeners in my food community that don't eat them and I'll trade them with veg I have in excess.
The trick with these beans is to blanch them for a few minutes and then allow to cool, before peeling the sometimes bitter tasting skin from the beans. It may seem like a little more work than popping a meal in the microwave and pressing a button. But the food is real, fresh and free of nasties. If you have an 'assistant' be careful they're little hands stay out of the bowl of blanched beans. They can disappear very quickly with little fiddle fingers tucking into your main salad ingredient.
Photos – Rohan Anderson
Shave some cheese, I used a pecorino here. Chop the herb, I used chervil for this version. I also like to pick out some late winter greens to stretch out meal to make it more of a substantial salad. And I've discovered that rocket and mizuna add a little pepper element to the meal which I now love.
Photos – Rohan Anderson
In a bowl add the blanched and peeled beans, the grated cheese, the salad greens, a glug of extra virgin olive oil, a squeeze of half a lemon, a pinch of rock salt and crack some black pepper.
Mix and toss well, making sure all that flavoury goodness is well spread. Taste and add more key ingredients if you feel like it needs it, after all it is your meal so may as well make it to suit your taste buds.
I added some more lemon and more oil on this occasion, and then we sat down devoured it and made our 'special food noises'. You know the ones, they sound like groans that should only be made behind closed doors!
This recipe features in Rohan's new book Whole Larder Love, published in Australia by Penguin and available for pre-order now at Readings.

here is some info on what I am doing/looking for
Remington 700 SPS Vamint
308 caliber
long range hunting coyotes/deer usually 300-800 yards away across open fields with the occasional close 200 yard shot.
maximum range would be a 1000 yards just to see what happened.
most shots will be made sitting or prone with a rest, ambush style.
I plan on a better stock with cheek rest down the road, bed and float it, etc.
I would love an adjustable power, but that may not be in the budget.
I really dont think more than 12 power would be needed.
I had a Wonder optics 2-12 power recently and it was a fine scope, but I regrettably traded the gun for a boat motor.
input, comments, snide remarks? thanks in advance.
just a caveat, I dont post much mostly just read and learn on here, I am really leaning toward the SWFA SS MRAD 10x fixed scope SWFA SS 10x42 Tactical Riflescope

I have what I consider to be one of the very best scopes for just what you mentioned. It is a Sightron Big Sky II 3-12x42 with a mil-dot reticle. Super clear and bright, very light, quick resettable turrets, and a versatile zoom range. New, they are a bit over $500, but I will deal on mine. Send a PM or e-mail..........shootclay AT live DOT com.
I love the fixed power SS you mentioned, but for hunting, I'm not sure I'd want a 10x fixed. I'd rather have a 3-9x or something along those lines.
Not trying to pick a fight here, but I pray your not taking shots on deer or any other big game animal at 800 plus yards.
You just picked up a hitcher...a prisoner of the white lines on the free way.
no, I dont really hunt, I just shoot paper, and targets, (24 years military) but I am one of those doomsday preppers, and this will by my long range protection if the apocalypse happens, otherwise I just kill paper.
I mentioned long range shots on animals to be more politically correct and keep the black SUV's from pulling up in my driveway.

Roger that....
I'd still go with a variable. How about the SS 3-9x?
SWFA SS 3-9x42 Tactical 30mm Riflescope
This makes for a fine "coyote" scope. I have one on my "big game" rifle.
You just picked up a hitcher...a prisoner of the white lines on the free way.
My economy LR scope is a 30mm tube Mueller 4.5-14x40mm AO Tactical $190
Not the best, but it works good for what it is. I have several of them.
The Sightron Big Sky mentioned above is a great scope with great glass and a no fault replacement warranty that is unbeatable. I own two of them. For hunting longer distances I was truly impressed with the Nikon Monarch with BDC reticle. I zeroed my RRA predator pursuit at 200 yds. with a 62 grain bullet. Without having to dial up just dropped down to the last circle and hit the sihouette at 600 yds back to back. I had my doubts at first but not anymore. The nikon can be had within your budget as well. This allows you to dial up to 1000 yds easily using the bdc reticles.
Only two defining forces have offered to die for you. One is Jesus Christ for your soul, the other is the American soldier, for your freedom.

Love, love, love this mat! The larger size is perfect for cutting 12x12 paper, the lines are bold and easy to see, heals up nicely. And when you're not using it, flip it to the damask side and it pretties up your craft space. It's my new favorite mat!
I love this mat because of the large print for measuring! It is easy to use when sizing photos and mats. The large size is great - I only wish it came in other color options!
The size of this mat is perfect for cutting 12x12 papers. The extra inch on the sides makes matching up the measurements easy. I love this mat.

At 4:17 Sunday afternoon, 17 minutes after the trade deadline, Drew Storen slapped a ball into his glove and emerged from the bullpen gates at Nationals Park, right where he wanted to be. Storen hoped to remain with the Washington Nationals despite swirling trade rumors, and now here he was, the only pressure on him, at last, derived from closing a one-run baseball game.
"Once they called and told me to warm up," Storen said afterward, "that's when I knew."
After several stressful days, Storen felt relief when the deadline passed. Then he experienced sudden, momentary pain as the home run he allowed tied the score in the top of the ninth and flew into the visitor's bullpen. In the bottom half, Rick Ankiel bailed him out and delivered a 3-2, walk-off victory over the New York Mets by dashing home from third on Ian Desmond's chopper over the pitcher's mound.
Storen did not get the save. He settled for a win snatched from Jordan Zimmermann, who bounced back from two subpar starts with six scoreless innings. The Nationals scored their first two runs in the sixth inning on consecutive doubles by Desmond, Ryan Zimmerman and Michael Morse.
The trade deadline provided the day's backdrop for players and fans. Many of the 25,307 in attendance kept one eye fixed in the bullpen, on Storen's whereabouts. When Storen entered, they gave him a standing ovation.
"That was unbelievable," Storen said. "It's been an interesting week. To have them standing behind me was really special. I just want to thank them for that.
"Probably the weirdest day of my career. As much as you have to shut that stuff out, it's still on your mind. Once I saw the clock hit 4 and nobody had called me, I was really excited, really happy."
Before the game, Storen looked at a clubhouse clock and said, "It's over in six hours, right?" He had wondered about his future for days, as rumors swirled that the Nationals and Twins were in talks for a deal that would send Storen to Minnesota and center fielder Denard Span to Washington.
Once he arrived at the park, Storen tried to concentrate only on the game. But nerves still surfaced, for him and his teammates.
"I was kind of looking at the clock there a little bit before 4," right fielder Jayson Werth said. "I looked back and saw he was still in the bullpen. I figured that was a good thing."
As Tyler Clippard entered to pitch the eighth inning a few minutes before 4, the bullpen phone rang, pitching coach Steve McCatty telling Storen to warm up. While Clippard pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning and the clock struck 4, Storen felt free to dismiss a week's worth of rumor.
Once Storen entered the game, Angel Pagan grounded to second base and Jason Bay chopped to third, a start to a nice, tidy narrative. Up came Scott Hairston, who had driven in the Mets only run to that point with a leadoff homer against Sean Burnett in the seventh. With the count 1-0, Storen threw a sinker that didn't sink, and Hairston blasted it over the left field fence.
Suddenly, Zimmermann's masterpiece was in danger of being ruined.
After allowing 12 earned runs in 11 2 / 3 innings over his last two starts, he shut out the Mets over six innings, allowing seven hits and one walk. Zimmermann's most impressive sequence came in his toughest situation. After Daniel Murphy hit a one-out single, David Wright ripped a line drive to right field. Werth chased it and slid to make a catch, but the ball popped out of his glove, putting runners on first and second.
After Zimmermann peered in for a sign while facing Angel Pagan, he flinched with a slight turn of his shoulders, a movement deemed a balk by home plate umpire CB Bucknor, moving runners to second and third. With one out and a tie game, the Mets had a chance to take control.
But Zimmermann knew, with his pitch count reaching 100, he had reached his last moments. Zimmermann worked the count to 1-2 against Pagan and fired an 85-mph backdoor slider that caught the outside edge of the plate, framed expertly by catcher Jesus Flores. Zimmermann then struck out Bay with a chin-high, 95-mph fastball, his sixth strikeout in an 11-batter span. Walking off the mound, Zimmermann pumped his fist.
"I was a little fired up," Zimmermann said. "I just had to buckle in."
Those tense outs allowed the Nationals to take the lead in the bottom half of the inning, but Hairston's second home run tied the score. Flores led off the ninth against Mets reliever Bobby Parnell with a single through the right side. Ankiel reached when Parnell hit him with a pitch. Brian Bixler could not execute a sac bunt, but the runners moved up when Parnell threw Desmond a wild pitch.
With one out, Manager Davey Johnson called for the "contact" play — any way Desmond put the ball in play, Ankiel would sprint home. Desmond worked a 3-2 count and chopped a 91-mph slider up the middle.
Ankiel bolted, and he peeked at Parnell as the pitcher leaped, trying to snag the ball. "But it didn't matter," he said. "Ball on the ground, I'm going. He's going to have to make the play and throw me out. If he does, he does."
The ball inched over Parnell's glove. Second baseman Willie Harris streaked across the middle, grabbed the ball and fired home. Ankiel slid in headfirst, safe without question.
The Nationals mobbed Desmond at first, Storen among them. They were still his teammates, an iffy prospect hours before. At the end of a satisfyingly strange day, Storen finally had certainty.
"That's a big win for us today," Storen said. "I'll be really happy to come to the ballpark tomorrow."

Live preview: Devotchka
The Denver band plays Highline Ballroom behind an emotive new album, 100 Lovers.
Mon Mar 14 2011
Photograph: Gary Isaacs
Highline Ballroom; Wed 23, Mar 24
When Devotchka last played New York, the Denver band performed in a circus tent that had been erected in Damrosch Park, which seems so apt a setting as to verge on redundancy. Even ignoring the overt big-top flourishes—the tubas and accordions, grainy Americana imagery and Gypsy hoo-ha—Devotchka draws upon a carnivalesque mentality. Most songs swing for the fences, as frontman Nick Urata injects his every line with an emotional urgency fit for a hormonal teenage girl, or even a member of Arcade Fire. On its new album, 100 Lovers, the effect yields moments of opulence, as Urata's croon, forever on the cusp of revelation, floats atop the band's well-plotted mesh. When they come to Highline Ballroom, the musicians, like good circus folk, tote a splashy opener: Mariachi El Bronx, a newfangled mariachi alter ego of the West Coast punk band named for the northernmost borough.—Jay Ruttenberg

Jose Mourinho has admitted for the first time that he does not know what his best Chelsea team is.
Mourinho has come under heavy criticism for Chelsea's performances this season after they lost successive games against Everton and Basle, although the pressure was eased by the 2-0 win over Fulham on Saturday which initially put the Blues on top of the table.
The Portuguese has been questioned over his treatment of crowd favourite Juan Mata, who was left out of the squad at the weekend.
Chelsea have failed to impress as an attacking force in the Spaniard's absence and, having returned to the club this summer, Mourinho (above) concedes he is still unsure of his first XI.
"Of course, I don't know [what my best team is]," he said. "But the players have to give me the answers. I cannot dig and dig and dig looking for the best team. The players must give me the answer.
"Do I have a doubt that [Branislav] Ivanovic is in this moment my right-back? I have no doubt. You see the way the guy performs. So it is up to them.
"If somebody is waiting for me to give shirts because of status and history, that's not the point. Of course, I have some doubts in some positions and I think it's normal."
Mata will be given a rare chance to shine in the Capital One Cup third-round tie from the start at Swindon tomorrow night, while Cesar Azpilicueta and Ryan Bertrand, who have also been ignored, are also expected to get an opportunity.
Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham, as well as Napoli, Paris St-Germain and Atletico Madrid, are monitoring Mata's situation with a view to making a bid for his services in January.
Mourinho maintains that the attacking midfielder still has a future at the club, although he has made Oscar his first choice for the No10 role.
Chelsea dropped to fourth place in the table after yesterday's games but are just two points off top spot and Mourinho believes they now face a real test with four successive away games in three competitions.
He added on Chelsea TV: "The situation is difficult, we have already played away to Manchester United and Everton.
"We have won all the matches at home and have nine points from that. Now we go away for four consecutive matches. In the Premier League we have Tottenham and Norwich, and go to Bucharest [to play Steaua in the Champions League] and Swindon.
"We have to improve away, get results. At our house, we have to be better, not just win, play better and score more goals. This is our objective.
"The good thing is that we're not being lucky but we're there [in the League] with 10 points and the period is not good, the results are not brilliant."

WWII buffs/historians?
Is anyone on here particularly interested in or well-versed in WWII history?
I'm far more versed than most I'd say, at least in terms if the western front less so on the eastern but still far more knowledgeable than most. It was an interesting time period to study that much is clear.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Whats parts?
I find it interesting.
I have studied the political aspects of the Third Reich in depth and what led up to it. I am also well read in the subjects of Heinrich Himmler, Adolph Hitler, and most of the rest of his inner circle along with the inner workings of the Polizei, Sicherheitsdienst, and Algemeine SS.
Why do you ask?
My husband is a WWII buff.
Watch and read everything I can on the subject. Drives my wife nutz sometimes. Mostly the european theater. I'm not as versed on the pacific. I love the WWII movies and documentaries. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era.
I've become way more interested in it over the years, I
wish I had paid more attention to it in school! My father
went into the Marines at 16 years old. I have some items
of his from back then, field jacket, gaiters, long handled
Last year I 'inherited' my Mom's hope chest, and when I
went through came across pictures I'd never seen, of my
Dad during the war years. He refuses to talk about it at all,
never has really, I only know a couple of stories that I
pried out of him by roundabout means. I wish I could get him
to say more, since at 87 years old, there's not much time
before that's all lost, but I don't think it's going to happen!
I have always been interested in WWII but it isn't my field. But since I moved to England I've become increasingly interested in it because it's more of a living history here - I live about 20 minutes from Dover where there are still vacant spaces where buildings were bombed, and the woods behind my house has huge bomb craters from air attacks. And then I recently found some casings - and other bits - in the woods while dog-walking and when I cleaned them off and looked them up it turns out they are from WWII. So, I guess just asking to see if other people are interested in it because for me it is now part of my dog-walking-life (and also none of my friends are interested in my finds).
yes, more than just a "buff" here, cool to see there are others on the board with the same interest
please be very careful as to what you pick up or dig up, there are still un exploaded ordnance around, i think it was month ago a worker was killed in Germany when the backhoe hit an un exploded bomb while they were excavating for a parkinglot,

Now you want Mango...what am I...diced peach?
You don't have to drain from drain plug, but you should...do this after you drain the ET...and since you're removing lower radiator hose anyway, that might be safer than draining from radiator if you're not replacing radiator...just so you don't mess with radiator drain plug.
Get a crush washer for drain plug, and be prepared for your coolant bath. If you happen to drink any coolant, drink a beer afterwards...I read here that alcohol neutralizes the poison from coolant. Cool story, huh?
The upper radiator hose is the ET hose...unless you mean the one below, which is part of the engine cooling/heating hoses...and I think you have two hoses down there...just be careful and slow in removing them, as the 0-rings aren't replaceable that I know of...though you might be able to get one. The issue with those other hoses is getting to the back side of them. One goes to a hard pipe floating by the intake mani...and it's pitb to get off...and you need to be gentle as that pipe is hard plastic...and to replace the hard pipe, you'd have to remove intake mani.
I think I'd recommend passing on these other hoses. I removed the last of these ancillary hoses just a few weeks ago...and all the hoses were fine. The issue is going to be the o-ring on them...the hoses last almost forever. (You could buy all the other hoses and replace those you can get to easily, but I'd hold on this for another time. (Maybe Mango found what aftermarket o-ring sizes fit our hoses? Someone did replace one of the o-rings I know...but not sure what hose. Take your 0-rings to truvalue and see what they can do.)
To remove mech fan, 32mm long thin open ended wrench, and either a long screwdriver or pulley holding device. Don't know where guys are getting them, but here you can find them from Bimmertools.com I know.
Leave the fan up and down...don't lie it flat. It's not hard to do, but I've never done it! Use the right tools...no sledge please until you know what's up!
Damn, I missed that Mango answered you 'in line'!
You don't 'have to' replace the temp or level sensors. Temp sensor you can just get the IAT 0-ring for (see jfoj's sig)...and the ET level sensor is in a dry place. If yours is working, it will continue to if you don't break it. You can replace them, but you could also save your $5 for when you need to replace them if you want.
HTH. (Oh, in places where I offered a different answer than Mango, you'll just have to decide for yourself who to believe! He'll be a little more conservative than me, but neither of us take medication for our OCD, so you'd be okay either way!)
