Mallards in Aransas county!!
So to the fellow I listened to Saturday morning constantly go through the classic come backs and hail calls would you please leave your mallard call in your pocket for the majority of your trip when you come to the coast. Please consider buying one or more of the following: a pintail whistle, a 5 in one whistle, a teal call or a gadwall call. Learn to use your mallard call as a single cluck (gadwall and spoonies), a quiet feed call and learn to modify it for divers (a much reduced brrrr).
granted your mallard call did great calling in those redheads.
Also when there is little to no wind please realize your conversation carries a good 300 plus yards. And yes when you come in after someone else and they flash their q beam at you it means you are setting up a little too close.

Lindsay Lohan Goes Glam for "Liz & Dick" Beverly Hills Premiere
Just days away from what she hopes will be a career re-igniting release, Lindsay Lohan made her red carpet return at the Lifetime premiere of "Liz & Dick" on Tuesday night (November 20).
The oft-troubled actress glammed herself up in a daringly low-cut ivory slip dress as she joined network execs at the Beverly Hills Hotel held private dinner/premiere event.
The swanky soiree comes as LiLo has been busily making her press rounds, as she taped an appearance on "The Tonight Show" just prior to the Beverly Hills screening while having visited "Good Morning America" this past Friday.
During her GMA interview, the 26-year-old spoke about the process of transforming from a tabloid-plagued 26-year-old actress into Elizabeth Taylor, one of the most beloved screen sirens of all time.
"It was really interesting to really kind of, you know my hair was red at the time as well and I just cut it off and dyed it dark. But when I put the wig on and transformed into that, it was a really incredible feeling and it kind of shocked people on set which was really cool."
Lohan continued, "I hope my love for acting really shows through. I did the best that I could and I hope Elizabeth [Taylor] is happy, watching from above. It's really nerve-wracking to play someone who is such an incredible force. I was nervous to see what people would think about it. You can never actually be a clone of the person so you have to bring some of yourself into it. I'm lucky because I do relate to Elizabeth Taylor in a lot of ways."
To see for yourself how Lindsay fared portraying the iconic Elizabeth Taylor, tune in for the premiere of "Liz & Dick" when it airs on November 25th at 9/8c on Lifetime.

Why the Rush to Blame Mossad – Other Than Anti-Israel Paranoia?
posted at 5:17 pm on February 25, 2010 by Dafydd ab Hugh
The world still roils over the assassination of Hamas senior commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai; perhaps a better word would be "hyperventilates":
Last week, Israel's ambassador to Britain was called in for an official reprimand by the Foreign Office. In Dubai, Lt. Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim, the chief of police for the emirate, has said he is "99 percent" sure that operatives of the Israeli spy agency, Mossad, killed Mr. al-Mabhouh.
But I still haven't seen a single shred of evidence that Mossad, Israel's premier agency for intelligence, covert ops, and counter-terrorism, was behind the bizarre scheme… and several tantalizing bits indicating that they weren't:
- In general, the hit job was too elaborate, too complex, too Byzantine. Gas? Guns? Electrocutions? This is silly.
- The 26-member hit squad was far too large for the job; that scrum was almost guaranteed to be found out!
- The killers were clumsy enough to be caught on surveillance video, which seems very unlike the highly professional Mossad.
- They stole the identities of real Israeli citizens. Far from pointing the finger at Mossad, I believe this curious fact points firmly away from that agency; why would they intentionally implicate their own citizens?
And a new piece of intel I'd not seen until today: According to Dubai intelligence, one of the best in the Middle East, two of the assassins chose a peculiar refuge to flee after the hit:
Nonetheless, some details have emerged that do not track with traditional Israeli intelligence tradecraft. The Dubai authorities this week said two of the operatives fled to Iran.
Let's do a little detecting. We need a suspect group that (a) kills Hamas members; (b) doesn't mind implicating Israel; and (c) has some sort of affinity with Iran. Hm… that's a toughie; unless, just possibly, the hit was actually carried out by Hezbollah.
- Hezbollah is fighting Hamas for control of Gaza and the West Bank; they have ample reason to want to assassinate al-Mabhouh.
- Hezbollah takes its cue from Iran, and no country on Earth hates Israel more than Iran. Killing al-Mabhouh — and ensuring that Israel would get the blame in the international community, which is always eager to blame the Jews for everything bad in the world, anyway — would send a tingle down Hassan Nasrallah's leg.
- Hezbollah is Iran's private terrorist group, which they send out to other countries and regions, notably Syria and the Palestinian Authority, to enforce Iran's will. It makes perfect sense for Hezbollah assassins to flee to Iran for sanctuary.
To my thoughts, all signs point to Hezbollah, not Mossad, as the author of this plot. It seems that even the Devil can do a good deed now and again, albeit for his own nefarious reasons.

This is part of my series of posts that I'm putting together about how we approach PPC campaign management for our clients.
- Landing page optimization
- Campaign organization
- Google AdWords ad extensions – Part 1 – What are they & how do they work
- Google AdWords ad extensions – Part 2 – Our client test
Today's topic is…
Google AdWords Quality Score Optimization
Before you yawn or leave because you don't know what Quality Score is – you should realize that the success of your PPC campaign may in fact hinge on quality score. So it's kind of important to know what it is and how to make it work for you!
I recently did a presentation "Google AdWords Tips You Can't Live Without" at the Portland Online Marketing Summit where I had 4 minutes to give a couple of Google AdWords optimization tips. Most of my content was based on quality score but 4 minutes isn't much time – so I wasn't able to finish all of my tips for the crowd. What follows is an extended presentation of my AdWords Quality Score tips plus a few bonus tips for you loyal readers.
(note – the presentation isn't visible in the feed if you're reading via email/rss/facebook. You can also download the PDF from our SEM Presentations page.)
A summary of the Google AdWords Quality Score tips in the presentation:
- Improving your Quality Score will drive down your cost per click and ultimately your cost per acquisition/lead/sale
- You can't succeed at AdWords unless your search terms (keywords) are grouped into many, very tightly aligned ad groups
- Your campaign settings are critical to AdWords success and will have a huge impact on your Quality Score – see slide 5 & 6 in the presentation for my tips
- Always be testing ad copy – I give specific advice about how to structure your ad copy testing (slide 7 & 8 )
- Keep your keyword list pruned – eliminate zero & low impression keywords that could be dragging your quality score down and add keywords that could improve your targeting & cost per click (slide 8 )
- If you aren't using conversion tracking – you're sucker. I also give tips on how to implement conversion tracking even if you can't track "real" conversions (slide 9)
And – a few bonus AdWords management tips for you:
- Budget allocation: Optimize your impression share by fully funding the campaigns/ad groups that are giving you the best performance.
- Pay attention to the Geographic Performance Report and look for geographic areas (countries/regions/cities) where you get higher impressions/clicks/conversions and create separate campaigns for targeting those areas specifically. This can help you allocate budget to top performers (see below)
- Use AdWords Editor and make spreadsheets for campaign planning that you can import directly into AdWords editor. It will save you HOURS of campaign management time.

Hey all, long time no post.
I normally don't "advertise" my circuits. If someone wants them, I'm always open to e-mails or PMs. However, there was a high demand for them a while back (so I ordered several boards), and only a few sold. Now I have about 1 dozen spare boards available.
So the point is, I have two sets of FettLights built-up and nearly completed. All they lack are two parts for each, which I'll have to order, and as some of you know, I don't have the funds to front more parts on these at the moment. So ... if anyone is wanting a set of FettLights now, please let me know ASAP. Once I receive payment (even on one set), I'll order the needed parts and ship out the lights within a week (barring any delays on parts shipment, which is rare).
Again, this isn't like a push to sell the lights. I'll post this on the RPF as well, so I'm sure they'll go. I have two other projects coming up by next week (most likely), so this is just my attempt at recouping money I've already spent, and promising a quick turn-around before things get a little busier.
Thanks for looking,

HelloJust kind of curious, I live in Wisconsin and it was down to -10 F the other day and with snow on the ground its very easy to see how many dead bees are being carried out and left in the snow. I think I may count them and keep track, but when its so cold outside it may not be much fun. So my question
If it stays too cold, too long for the cluster to move to their stored honey, they will starve, sometimes right next to their stores. It happens all too often to Northern Beeks.
I don't like the idea of heating them, I think its best to allow them to acclimate,

Because the federal income tax is a pay-as-you-earn deal, you have the opportunity to adjust your withholding with your employer throughout the year.
If you got a big refund last year and your income and deductions are basically the same, you probably are having too much money withheld. That also could be the case if your income is about the same as last year, but you now have more deductions or credits.
On the other hand, you might not be having enough taxes withheld if you have a second job, your spouse works or you have other income not subject to withholding.
To help you determine the correct number of allowances, you need to complete the eight-line worksheet that's atop the actual form you file. The worksheet questions take into account the number of dependents you have and whether you have a second job or working spouse. You can make these calculations online with the IRS's interactive W-4 worksheet.
If you have only one job, are single or your spouse doesn't work, or any second income is less than $1,000, then the W-4 process is fairly simple. You get one allowance for yourself, your spouse and one each for your children or other dependents.
Next, you take into account your filing status. If you file as head of household, you get an extra allowance. You also get allowances for child or dependent-care expenses of more than $1,500 a year, as well as additional allowances for any child tax credits you take.
The total of all these considerations is the number of allowances you put on your W-4 to get an accurate amount of pay withheld. Don't be surprised if this number of allowances is not the same as the actual exemptions you claim when you file your return in April. There may be a difference because you're figuring the credits and expenses upfront rather than subtracting them at the end, as you do when you file.
If your life gets a bit more complicated, so does the tax paperwork you have to fill out. If you itemize your deductions or have a working spouse, you need to fill out the two worksheets that accompany the W-4.
The worksheet also will consider any other income you might have, such as dividends and interest, as well as adjustments to your income. These adjustments, popularly called above-the-line deductions, are claimed directly on your Form 1040 or 1040A. They include alimony you paid, deductible IRA contributions you made or student loan interest you paid, and also need to be taken into account when determining your correct number of withholding allowances.
When you arrive at the worksheet's additional number of allowances, you'll add these to the number you figured on your basic personal allowance worksheet on page 1. This total then goes on the new W-4 you give your boss to adjust your withholding.
If you used the worksheet because your spouse works, be sure to discuss any changes you make on your W-4 with your husband or wife. His or her paycheck should be adjusted, too. The IRS recommends that in two-paycheck families, all the allowances that result from this worksheet be claimed by W-4 for the highest-paid job and zero allowances for the other.

It has been a while since I've been trying to complete my ROTJ armor. ''Upgradings not easy''.
I am sooooo trying to finish this outfit once and for all. It seems like everytime it feels like its coming closer to be finished it truly isn't. Anyway this week I decided to add on the wookie braids to my vest. First of all I braided the synthetic hair I found and the results were not too great. I need a better texture of hair. Secondly the layout of the braids are confusing as we all know.I'm dissapointed at my results. So I must try again and do a better set of these braids next time. Like I said upgrading is a must till you get it looking right.
Here are the pics:

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I'm not from your area but find that generally speaking the big name hills do tend to attract a larger group trying to be instructors, and hopefully a better crop to pick from. They do rate them and will pair you up with somebody based on your experience and needs (at least they should).
I know at some of my local resorts they pair you up based on a 1-5 rating of your abilities. With 1 being barely able to stand up/never done it, 3 is comfortably linking turns, running a mix of green and blues, no blacks, 5 being all out jumping off cliffs, major park tricks, glades, etc.
Oh and don't worry about taking lots of lessons. I met a instructors instructor out here in Calgary who tried talking me into getting a high end lesson. I was a little insulted at first (I've been boarding 19 years and used to race, and this guy didn't know anything about me). But then I got to thinking that it'd be nice to have somebody actually watching me ride who could offer some pointers or even just show me where the hidden sweet spots on the hill were. I still haven't done it yet but may do a lesson this year for the first time since 1992!!!

I fell completely in love with snowboarding, and I want to continue to learn and improve as much as possible. Now that I'm back home (DC/Northern VA area) I'd love to take lessons again. I went to a local hill a few days ago and practiced what I learned so far, but I think I'd like to take another lesson or two, or however many I need. Is that the best way to go about doing it - to just sign up for lessons at a local resort and let them pair me up with someone? Is there a process that goes into pairing up a student with an instructor, or is it random? Does it matter where I take the lessons? (Meaning, is there any other thought I need to put into it?) Thanks in advance for any advice!
Best option is to go with a private and request a certified instructor or veteran instructor. These instructors have but in the time and have the experience to help you succeed faster ("veteran" doesn't necessarily mean "old in age"). Once you have hit the level 4 stage, i.e. ability to connect toe and heelside turns on green terrain I would suggest to cutting down to half day lessons so that you get some mileage to work on what you have learned and just have fun without out one of us "watchers" paying attention to your every move.
There is always something new to learn or some tip to get more effecient or effective in our riding. On the snowboarding side of sliding disciplines this seems to be forgotten. Remember even pro riders typically have coaches.

Thanks so much for this advice! It's all really helpful.
I was an instructor last year and here is what I have from my experience.

Another advantage to private lessons: building a relationship. Stick with someone you like and they will help you progress faster than a random instructor in a group lesson. Also, make sure to tip them after. Many people don't tip, because they are already bummed about how much the private lesson costs. But if you throw your instructor a 10 or 20, and ask him/her to take some extra runs with you after the lesson, they should hook you up. If I had nothing else to do, and my lesson just tipped me $20, you know damn well I'll be spending another hour with them honing their skills. If you get the vibe that the instructor is a newbie, this may not work but any veteran should get the idea. Snowboard instructors are pretty much like strippers... we'll do almost anything for some extra cash... take you slow, fast.. give you some extra time... spin... flip... show you the backside...
You can always take a look at the group lessons, but just make sure you get a look at how many people will be in the lesson by finding the meeting area and seeing how many people are waiting. If you are not riding during peak times, you can get away with taking a group lesson and most likely, there will be 2 or 3 other people in the class, which isn't a big deal.
I think that the most important time in your progress as a rider to take a private lessons is when you have reached a plateau (usually going from beginner to intermediate and intermediate to advanced). Once you learn how to turn, you have to get comfortable with where you are to get better. If you are not comfortable enough to push yourself to try new things, then a lesson will not benefit you a whole bunch. I would often have lessons that were at a certain point, but were not comfortable going faster, or making tighter turns, or tipping up on that edge to carve better. This makes it very difficult to progress. In other words, make sure you are READY to move on before you spend money on a private lesson. If you are TRYING to go faster but can't, or if you are TRYING to ride steeper trails but are having trouble THAT is the perfect time to take a lesson.
Final verdict: Take what you learned and apply it on the hill. Get comfortable to the point where you want to push yourself to do new things on a snowboard. Try some new things on the snowboard, steeper trails, tighter turns, etc. Identify where you are having issues (make a list of 3 or 4 things you really want to get better at). Request a private lesson from an instructor that you have heard about. I promise you will get much more out of that process than if you just sign up randomly. But hey, this is just if you are trying to save some moolah. If you have the cash, nothing is stopping you from getting a 6 hour private lesson.
|Thanks so much everyone! This is a huge help. I totally agree about the private lesson vs. group classes. I started out with a private lesson and will continue with those. Glad to know there's nothing wrong with taking lessons over and over! I have a bunch of trips planned over the next few weeks, and I'll just take lessons each time. I went to Whitetail this past weekend without taking a lesson, and just worked on toe-side falling leaf, which I think I have the hang of now. No heel-side yet, because my first time out I really bit it on the last run of the day and my tailbone STILL hurts a bit. Sigh! I'll report back on how it's going after my next lessons! Thanks again!
If you go to Snowshoe we had an instructor named Stevie G and he was really good at teaching.
I would take lessons until you feel they are no longer helping.
This will be our fifth time taking lessons and we will continue
take as many lessons as you feel you need
when i learned i took 3 lessons in a month - saturday lesson, sunday practice repeat 3xs
it also helps if you know what you need to work on and can communicate this to your instructor
Find someone who's been taught by them and ask of the experience. If that student happens to be similar to you in style/learning methods, then it might be a good fit. Word of mouth is best, I find.
I'd love to get instruction from snowolf, since having read so many of his tips, I already have a better sense of his teaching style and intentions. Too bad he's on the other side of the country.
SnowboardAddiction is a good one too, if you're good as self-learning.
I think most people around head towards the group of whitetail, liberty and roundtop. I took lessons at roundtop last year and my wife took one there this year. The instructors we worked with were good. I don't recall their names. If you sign up for a group lesson they will come out based on their schedule, but we haven't heard anything bad about the instructors at any of the three mountains.
One benefit to going there is that they have learn to ski/board days where it is $39 for the day including lift ticket, gear and the lesson. At the end of it you can typically buy an advantage card for like $45 which will give you discounts of 40% on lift tickets the rest of the year as well as your next trip free. That next trip includes the same lesson package. You will be able to take lessons any time you want the rest of the year as well. It is a pretty good deal and is worth it in my opinion. The card is good at all three mountains as well.
Welcome to snowboarding and I hope you have a blast.
Hey there, welcome! I don't know of any way to pick an instructor and I don't think you have to put a whole lot of thought into it. Although, if you name a few resorts here, perhaps people on this forum have some friends/instructors that they can recommend. Maybe you can call into the resort with a name and make a request or get the person's schedule. But as far as I know, it's hit or miss with instructors.
I think it's pointless to take the beginner's group lesson again unless you feel like you need to rehash on the basic lesson. If you remember the lesson, just practice those things on the bunny slopes until you're more comfortable with the basic skills.
Once you've made some progress, it might be good to take a private lesson. Private lessons are much more efficient, and the instructor provides more useful feedback. Sometimes, group lessons can feel like you're just being herded down the bunny slopes, but private lessons can be a lot more constructive.

By Chris Harris
They saw off Fulham and they stunned Chelsea. Now Burnley have their sights on a hat-trick of London victims when Arsenal visit Turf Moor.
One of football's most famous names is enjoying something of a renaissance this season and Arsène Wenger's Carling Cup kids could get a rude awakening in Lancashire. Shorn of the home comforts of Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's youngsters face a physical test against one of the Championship's form sides.
Burnley are well-placed for a promotion push and have lost just once at home this term. They made short work of Derby at the weekend and, although high-profile opponents are currently a Cup luxury, they will become a staple diet if Burnley maintain their current form and reach the Premier League.
We asked Chris Boden of theBurnley Express for a Lancashire perspective ahead of Tuesday night's tie. Read on for her take on a dazzling Cup run, the long-term ambitions at Turf Moor and the reasons why the Clarets fancy their chances against Wenger's young side.
"Obviously the Chelsea result stands out the most. It was probably the most memorable night watching Burnley in the last 25 years. Probably since they beat Tottenham 4-1in the Quarter Finals in 1983, which Arsenal fans will appreciate. It was an unbelievable night at Stamford Bridge and it was fully deserved in the end. They played some terrific passing football, rode their luck a bit as you have to do in the cup ties but came out on top in the end on penalties. The Fulham game, they came through deservedly so in the last minute with a brilliantly taken goal by young Jay Rodriguez's - his first goal for the club.
"When they start as they did on Saturday, really high tempo, get the ball down, with good movement from attack-minded players, it has been paying off. Obviously they didn't start very well; they lost 4-1 at Sheffield Wednesday on the opening day and then got beaten 3-0 in their first home game against Ipswich Town but they are 11 unbeaten at home going into the Arsenal tie."
"There are a few of them. From a defensive point of view the captain, Steven Cauldwell, has been absolutely fantastic. He was sent off at Chelsea in extra time but he is one that has won promotion from this level with Sunderland. He is absolutely rock-solid, not the quickest but a real commanding presence. Further forward there is Martin Paterson who is top scorer and then there is the likes of Chris Eagles who has forced his way back into the side after an early sending off set him back a bit. Robbie Blake is another one, a real flair player, who is on the same wavelength as Eagles. The pair are capable of causing any team problems like you saw at Stamford Bridge.
"I would imagine Rodriguez will be on the bench considering there are seven substitutes allowed. He has just been edged out of the side in recent weeks by Ade Akinbiyi who has came on and scored at Chelsea and has kept himself in the 16-man squad since then. He is a young lad, only 19 years of age and his father played local football in the area and was a natural goalscorer and Jay is in a similar vein."
"If it he gets on the pitch at some stage I am sure he will cause problems. He is a bit more of an impact player in this day and age. He started the game at Barnsley last week and had a disappointing night by his standards and was taken off 10 minutes into the second half for Martin Paterson who came on and scored two terrific goals. He is built like a super-middleweight as all football fans know, he is a real handful and you certainly wouldn't fancy competing against him physically. He is not as quick as he used to be but he has really refined his player, particularly after working with Andy Cole last season. He has developed a sureness of touch and holding up play and I think every Burnley fan loves him to pieces, he is a real credit."
"People may look at their disciplinary record and see they have had five red cards already this season but it couldn't be further from the truth to be honest, they are not that sort of side. On some occasions they have gone into games with a holding midfielder, Graham Alexander, as they have done in the last two outings. But other times they go for an out and out 4-4-2 with a fluid forward line. They will simply look to get the ball wide and utilise the flair of Eagles and Blake and then the pace of Paterson. They will try to do to Arsenal what Arsenal do to everyone else."
"I don't think anyone expects Arsenal to be a soft touch. We were speaking to Paterson about the fact that Arsenal's two Carling Cup wins have come at home in that magnificent stadium but it takes a real bravery to play in front of those crowds on that sort of scale. Obviously the Reserves play at Barnet which, with all due respect, isn't the most welcoming venue, much like Turf Moor. I am sure the young lads will come and put on a show but with it being a home game, Burnley unbeaten in 11 there, on the back of the Chelsea result and having run Arsenal really close in the FA Cup last season, they have every chance.
"The fans are more in hope than expectation but the whole town is bouncing at the minute after the Chelsea result. That was backed up with a Championship win at QPR on the Saturday when they came from behind to win. They are fourth in the table and they are dreaming of Premier League football, playing the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea every other week rather than in one-off cup games. The football is pleasing on the eye and it is bringing the fans back in and at this time when money's tight, it has given the town a real lift."
"It was a terrific game in the FA Cup last season. I can remember an early chance for Kyle Lafferty, who has since moved on to Rangers, thumping a header against the bar. Two moments of top, top quality from Eduardo won it in the end. The first finish was a lovely one and then obviously Nicklas Bendtner with a wonderful second goal that carved Burnley wide open. Maybe if Lafferty hadn't been sent off it might have been a different story. Looking back through the Arsenal team there were the likes of Bacary Sagna, Emmanuel Eboue, real top, top players. Even though they might not be here this time there will be people like Aaron Ramsey and obviously we know all about Mark Randall. Top class players and it will be an almighty task.
"People didn't feel wrong done last time although the Lafferty decision was a bit controversial. Burnley were particularly proud and they got a bit of national recognition for their efforts and the way they play their football. They took that on board and have enhanced that further and they are more a progressive-attacking force now. They enjoyed the plaudits and they would like to build on the win against Chelsea to get back in the national conscience."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

At the birth of the computer age we were promised technology would eliminate the need for paper in our lives since everything could be done on the computer. The Australian Productivity Commission decried the growing red tape which has overwhelmed many professionals and compelled doctors and education institutions to spend enormous resources filling out forms rather than engaged in their mission of educating children. The Commission cited, "excessive duplicate reporting requirements" and "overly prescriptive regulations" which result in people filling out the same information that was provided a different agency.
The Commission believes doctors currently devote about nine hours a week filling out forms and reports and that schools have been forced to spend more money hiring non-teaching personnel to deal with red tape requirements. I recently once again had to fill out a form to teach at a college that I have now filled out at least five times. Isn't it possible to have a centralized form for teaching at colleges? All colleges ask the same questions.
So, what about the computer ending paperwork???

|Focus Tuning Chat Discuss performance tuning options for your Ford Focus.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|The LL Gen2 is the only one able to log the knock sensors pid on my strategy code. It works perfectly.
Still can't log and won't be able to with a Xcal II the way it sounds. The Xcal III might, far as I've heard.
But I just wanted to show how to set up the data maps and how much easier it is to tune with once set up properly.
First off, the Mass Air Transfer Function (MTF).
If you only have an Xcal and don't have the Advantage software all of these setups will be guesswork, but should come close. Best option is still to pay for a custom tune from Tom, or to buy the Advantage software. I'm only posting this to show how nice it works to go through datalogs.
So the MTF,
This is what the table looks like in Advantage:
To set up the data map you'll use the "Counts" values.
This will become the row labels, as you'll see in a bit.
Next thing you'll want to know is your "Throttle Mode". This is simply idle, Part Throttle (PT) and Wide Open Throttle (WOT). These will log as a number, -1, 0 and 1 respectively.
Now lets set up the data map.
The top item is what will fill the cells.
The next down is MAF Counts. Notice how the label is exactly what the Count is from the MTF in Advantage.
The last is the Throttle Mode.
If you set it up this way this will be the result:
This is a very quick way to find out if the MTF is close to correct or not. But this also assumes your injector values are correct. Nice thing is, if the injector values are off this table will reflect it. I won't tell you how, but it will.
To make this table you will have to log; Short Term Fuel Trim, Throttle Mode (or Flag) and MAF Counts, these may vary in name. For instance STFT may be bank 1 and or bank 2. If there are 2 banks you'll have to make 2 data maps.
Now lets set up a data map for ignition timing.
There are a couple ways you may want to set this up. I'll go through a good way to set it up if you have Advantage and a way to set it up if you only have a Xcal and can adjust spark based on RPM ranges.
This I'm not sure on what ranges to use. But they won't be the same as above. You'll only be able to adjust spark "Globally", which is adding or subtracting from all the cells in the Advantage table.
Or by ranges based on RPM steps, something like 1,000-2,000, 2,000-3,000 ... This will be adjustment similar to global. That is all loads will be added to or subtracted from.
Neither way is a safe method to adjust spark and unless you know the downfalls I don't advise anyone to adjust spark this way. Buy the tune from Tom or buy Advantage.
Warning aside, this is how you could set it up:
You can really see how much data you don't see and you should understand why it's a bad practice to add or subtract spark with the Xcal only.
Next up, fuel. Specifically the Base Fuel Table.
The BFT is used when the engine is warm. There is a set temperature at which the ECU switches to this table. That temperature will vary from ECU to ECU. Odds are this temp will be around 160°F. So a safe bet is to start logging on a car that's already warmed up. This will help avoid errors in the data.
This is another situation where the Xcal has a major disadvantage. You will only be able to add or subtract fuel at Wide Open Throttle, if I recall correctly. I'll show you how to set this up also.
*special note to Advantage users*
Make sure your TP for WOT is listed in your base fuel table. Both should be adjusted at the same time. This will help filter the data for LL Gen 2.
In this case you only want to pay attention to Throttle Mode 1, remember it is Wide Open Throttle.
There are a great many things you can do with this software. Some that can make the harder things very easy to tune, and some that are just fun to play with ... and see what kind of data mess you can come up with. The biggest advantage is the speed at which you can go through data.
I'm not sure how much data logging you guys do. Myself, I log no less than 15 minutes of combined driving at a time; idle, part throttle and WOT. I'm a firm believer in The Law Of Averages. That is the more data you're able to get in each cell, the less chance you have of inaccurate data messing up changes. More data = more accuracy (assuming all of it isn't inaccurate data).
If you need any help setting something up or have any question, just ask.
Hope you can make use of this.
|I have the same feeling
Good luck getting it to work , On about 20 Foci I get it to work on maybe 1-2 , they know the issues and say they are working on it
If you have LiveLink 6.5 keep it , I would not go to GenII yet
SCT LiveLink Gen II
SCT now has the 1 thing they've been missing since forever, histograms and configurable charts. It's the #1 reason I've hated their logging software and bought a specific logging software,,, which I no longer need .
Should make life much easier once you (I) get the hang of using it.
Kudos to SCT for finally making a good logging software.

I'm trying not to be hard on this one, and I don't even know if I am writing this in the right forum, but I find it really weird for what happened to a future member.
Well, I just came back from a really small and first-time con in the Columbus GA area, namely at the Coca Cola Space and Science Center. One of the organizers, member of the GA 501st (main contact for our group), after seeing my Boba Fett, I handed to her one of the TDH business cards I've got from Dragon*Con, and referred to her to this site for anything she wanted to know about either Mandalorian, Fetts, or Zam....at least to get the basics.
Just on my way out from the Con to go for dinner, during saying goodbyes, she expressed a concern that she tried to join this site while we were at the con, and according to her, this website didn't allowed her to join, because "she didn't have a costume done"??? I understand, as to belong to the 501st IS MANDATORY to have a costume done....but on TDH??!!!
I've always known that TDH (as a basic) is a FAMILY FRIENDLY Forum, that dedicates to the Help and Information on the creation of either Boba, Jango (or any mandalorian), and Zam Wessell, and I hope this forum haven't gone that far, as of restricting future members of joining in, since that would be completely ridiculous.
Did TDH changed rules at some point I don't know, similar as far as the 501st costuming standards has gone lately, or maybe I skipped or slipped something in between so many posts around that I didn't notice? Please, someone tell me I am wrong, and I will find the right answer to the person, besides on locating where exactly her problem is.
Sorry in advace for the rant, not meant to anyone or anything, but I've found that lately this hobby became more frustrating (specially in the past 4-5 months that I know of)...even when you're doing the right thing to others, and some little "technical details" I would say, spoils the fun of joining any group in particular to this hobby.

As so many people have served as Gunners, the archive is a major family history resource as featured on BBC's Who Do You Think You Are?
The entire collection of the Museum of Artillery at the Rotunda is a Designated Collection of national importance.
An international collection of guns, rockets, missiles and vehicles spanning over 600 years of development worldwide. Including prototypes and models, it was used to teach cadets in the 18th century and has been displayed to the public since 1820 in the Museum of Artillery in the Rotunda.
In May 2001, much of the ordnance and all of the library and archive were moved to newly developed premises where they are more accessible to the public, fully interpreted and better preserved. The new development, called FIREPOWER, displays all of the collections of the Royal Regiment of Artillery together, with interactives and hands-on exhibits to explain the science of artillery. The historic Rotunda building houses the reserve collection and is open one day a week.
The collection of ordnance continues to expand as technology is constantly updated. The library and archive, in the James Clavell Library, provide an important research resource. These collections are supported by a wealth of artefacts, paintings and medals which tell the human story.

Quick Weeknight Meals That Pack in the Produce
Pictured Recipe: Artichoke-Scrambled Eggs Benedict
Easy dinner ideas to help you eat more vegetables.
For years we've been told to eat our fruits and vegetables. But as much as we've heard that, it just doesn't seem to be sinking in. Americans still aren't eating the recommended amounts of fruits and veggies, according to the Centers for Disease Control. For most Americans that's 5 1/2 cups daily.
We live by the "eat more fruits and vegetables" mantra here at EatingWell. So one of the questions we constantly ask is how to add more produce to a dish. In this selection of easy weeknight recipes, we deliver the goods and make over 5 popular meals.

I've got an MP productions one that was made about a year ago for me.He did a great job,but the pouches seem a little tall.I was wondering if anyone on the scene has a "difinitive" belt out there,or measurements thereof?
I've got an MP productions one that was made about a year ago for me.He did a great job,but the pouches seem a little tall.I was wondering if anyone on the scene has a "difinitive" belt out there,or measurements thereof?
I have made a few belts.
My pouches are 4" tall finished.
The best reference I came up with was the pouches were 4" x 1-5/8". MP makes the best production Boba belt I've seen. That is one upgrade I hope to eventually make.
Mine are Jango style & I scaled them off of some good reference material.
I can vouch for BKBT. His stuff is dead on[img]images/smiles//icon6.gif[/img] BKBT is the 8)daddy of jango "stuff". Sorry, I just had to use the pimp icon
Guess I know who I'm buying MY Jango stuff from in the near future. I was just wondering where I should get an ammo belt and holsters from.
Kathy looks great!!! Awesome job man, just awesome!!
I just re-measured my MP belt.The pouches are 4 1/2" tall,and 2" wide.The width seems right,but again the height is a little off.It's not enough to warrant unloading it,.....unless a "difinitive" measurement surfaces I do love it for its closeure in the rear matching the original,and the craftsmanship is superb.
I agree, a 1/2" difference would not be reason enough to sell it. It is a fine looking belt & well worth the $ from the pics I have seen.
Great thread! I'd like to know as well (for Boba).
I've got a fairly decent looking one that I put together for mine, but I think it could be better.
I'm still waiting for Brak's to get me the accurate Boba measurements. I think I'll soon have to take matters into my own hands.
If SithCamero is makin ammo belts im gonna sign up he is tha master of leather.
Vince's stuff is outstanding... but I am in need of a Boba belt as well. I don't do leather. Any direction would be great.
I think I'm first on sith_camaros list (after himself of course ) whenever Braks gives him proper measurements. C'mon BB! Snap to it!
I finally sat down and started doing "digital" measurements, from all of the reference photos. Hopefully, I'll be able to make a prototype soon.
When I make the "ultra anal, white vinyl painted brown and then glued shut" version, I'll just put Brak's at the bottom of the list! j/k
Here's how I passed the time today while I was stuck inside
from the big New England blizzard going on:
It's my first attempt at sewing leather. Not as easy as I thought!
I know the measurements aren't exact, but I figure when I finish
this set of pouches & belt I can use it while I start my new "movie
accurate" version. By then I will be more adept at my leather
sewing abilities...I hope!
Ah, gotta love the real belt! Vinyl yes. Leather no!!

Hey Malc, get some Barge rubber cement, it'll never come undone with leather. What is that, hotglue??
Yeah, isn't vinyl just a yucky thought???
I'm not sure if thats true, we'll have to ask him!

Actually some new info has surfaced recently that may help us better estimate the pouch sizes. And just so everyone knows, I do NOT have some secret measurements although I may have a few resources available that will help us out.
Sorry to take forever sith_camero... Just so many things to do and so little time. BTW, I don't think I have ever seen any of Sith Camero's work but I did help MP refine his belt. unfortunately, as with so many, he became tired of reworking things long before I became tired of giving him new things to change...
I was looking at my MP belt last night and to me the pouches look too tall and wide the flaps seem ok(maybe a tad wide) but the pouch bulges out too much thus ruining the proper width.
Ah, there's the man now! If you've got a little more info, then I'll hold off a little longer on my size estimates.
Lee,I too feel as though the MP belt is a little too big.I think he started out with the back pattern being 4",and didn't compensate for when the top flap,and bottom would bring the height to 4 1/2".The width seems about 1/2" too wide also.I'll probably upgrade AGAIN when somebody "nails" the belt For now it looks good on me since I'm 6'1" the larger belt doesn't really look that big on me.
I was messing with this a year ago and haven't really pursued it much further. Assuming his belt is 2.5" wide/tall, a 4" high pouch is too tall.
Check this comparison I did using a shot from the MoM next to a rough 4" high cardboard pouch on a 2.5" belt I was goofing with last year:
Remember...I said "rough"
Notice the excess on both top and bottom? Either his belt is closer to 3" wide/tall or the pouches need to be made 3.25"-3.5" high. Which, by the way, is totally bizarre because I was almost positive his ammo pouches were at least 4" tall

A $7.5 million gift in support of the Wake Forest Football program from alumnus Bob McCreary ('61) adds momentum to Wake Forest Athletics' plans to move forward with a 95,000-square-foot sports performance center.
Wake Forest University President Nathan O. Hatch and Director of Athletics Ron Wellman made the announcement when publicly celebrating McCreary's longtime philanthropy, which includes more than $15 million in lifetime commitments, at last night's men's basketball game.
Q: What do plans for the sports performance center entail?
A: Designed to meet the training needs of more than 350 student-athletes who compete in 18 sports, the four-story sports performance center will be located behind Miller Athletic Center on the Reynolda Campus. The new building will serve as the home for the football program, while featuring a robust strength and conditioning facility that enables multiple athletes in different sports to work out simultaneously, improving upon the current Bob McCreary Strength Complex in Manchester Athletic Center. Additionally, the facility will include space for football coaches' offices, team meeting rooms and other areas designed to enhance recruiting efforts. There will also be space dedicated to enhancing the nutrition program for all Wake Forest student-athletes with convenient access to nutritional resources and grab-and-go food options.
Wellman said, "Our plans will provide a state-of-the-art space for our sports performance staff to improve every aspect of student-athlete recruitment, competitiveness and overall wellbeing."

Re: st: computing means and quantiles for groups using weights
"Paolo Naticchioni" <email@example.com>
Re: st: computing means and quantiles for groups using weights
Tue, 17 Jul 2007 13:01:22 +0200
Dear Nick,
Thank you very much for your advises. I have already applied these
functions and everything seems to be ok.
Thanks again
2007/7/16, n j cox <firstname.lastname@example.com>:
Paolo Naticchioni asked something like this on various occasions:
I want to create a new variable including the means for some groups
(strata) of the population.
For instance, assume my strata are year, gender, education.
Using egen I can compute the average of some outcome variable, for
instance wage, using the following:
bysort year gender education: egen average=mean(wage)
However, using egen I cannot use any types of weights. I would like to
use weights (weights with average 1). Do you know how can I introduce
weights in a easy way? Probably it is very easy, but I do not know the
I would like also to compute some quantile of the distribution, like
the 10th quantile, the median, the 90th percentile, etc.
Also in this case, I can use egen
bysort year gender education: egen p90=pctile(wage), p(90)
However, also in this case it is not possible to use weights, the
consider the weighted distribution.
Paolo is correct. -egen-, as documented by StataCorp, does not support
weights. I guess there are three possible reasons:
1. StataCorp started out with a relatively simple syntax for
-egen- and never saw grounds for/never got round to complicating
2. -egen- is a wrapper for a call to some -egen- function. In
general, some functions could sensibly be called with weights
and some not. -egen- as such has no way of knowing which is which.
That leaves the responsibility for coping with weights to individual
functions. It's messy to have the innermost function do most of the
checking and the extent of that is best reduced.
3. Something else I haven't thought of.
No matter. There are user-written -egen- functions on SSC that do what
you want. Weights are just specified in a non-standard way, via
options. David Kantor's -_gwtmean- is a package with a weighted mean
function for -egen-. Ulrich Kohler's function -wpctile()- is in the
-egenmore- package.
If they didn't exist, other solutions are possible, but I will not
spell any out at this point.

Parliamentary leaders in the NFP Assembly issued a strong rebuke to CIA Director Michael Hayden who said the US was interested in targeting the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan where the forces of al-Qaeda supposedly maintain bases. Parliamentary leader Pir Sabir Shah said the Hayden remark was an insult to the integrity of Pakistan and condemned US interference in the internal affairs of his nation. Others urged the government to engage in peaceful discussions with the Taliban and al-Qaeda and to reject American calls for extending the millitary campaign. NWFP Chief Minister Ameer Haider Khan Hoti said: "We'll make every effort to restore peace in the province(northwest region).We'll form traditional jirgas for peace."
Hopefully, a new president of the United States will move the nation away from interfering in the affairs of other nations and encourage their efforts to pursue paths of peaceful negotiation with terrorist organizations. Talk in itself with a militant organization may not necessarily lead to peace, but it moves all parties away from sole reliance on force and allows investigation of alternative strategies.

A kinder, gentler Erick Erickson
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Earlier today on CNN's Reliable Sources, Howard Kurtz spoke to newly minted CNN contributor Erick Erickson about the controversy his new job with the network has fueled, and confronted Erickson with several of the inflammatory things Erickson has written in his capacity as editor of RedState.com.
Erickson tried to come off as contrite throughout the interview, and after Kurtz noted that Erickson had called Michelle Obama a "Marxist harpy," Erickson had this to say: "Since that time I've really learned, headed into, frankly, the David Souter comment, that I don't have to get personal in blogging to make my point. I definitely evolved over time."
The "David Souter comment," of course, was Erickson's April 2009 reference to the retiring Supreme Court justice as a "goat f##king child molester." When Kurtz took that opening to confront him with that scurrilous attack, Erickson explained the "good" that came out of it:
ERICKSON: Being a blogger, up until that moment, I always considered I was just a guy chatting with friends, even on Twitter, and realized that I've actually reached the point where people listen to what I say and care about what I say and, frankly, it was a wake-up call to me that I had to grow up in how I write.
Well I must say it's certainly good to see that Erick Erickson finally decided to "evolve" and "grow up" as a writer. That newfound sense of maturity must have been on display three weeks ago when he made a "poor attempt at conspiracy humor" in suggesting that Democrats would kill former Rep. Eric Massa. And he really demonstrated some true growth when he spent the Super Bowl insulting "ugly feminists" who are "too ugly to get a date" and should "return to their kitchens." And, truly, only a writer who has really "grown up" and "evolved" would call two sitting senators "health care suicide bombers," as Erickson did in January.
So thank goodness Erick Erickson has decided to grow up, because now we all -- CNN viewers in particular -- can enjoy his mature and enlightened perspective on the world.
