The world may know Kentucky best for a certain horse race held the first Saturday in May, but a new equestrian event is making its mark on the Commonwealth, due in large part to a prominent entrepreneur most known for his work in the hospitality industry.
Steve Wilson, co-founder of 21c Museum Hotels, has introduced yet another treasure to the Bluegrass State with the Hermitage Classic, a three-day combined carriage competition held at Hermitage Farm, the historic 700-acre Thoroughbred breeding operation famous for more than 200 high stakes winners.
The classic – now in its second year – will take place Friday through Sunday, Sept. 21-23, in Goshen in Oldham County. What began in 2010 as a showcase before the World Equestrian Games, evolved into the one-day Hermitage Classic Horse Driving Trial in 2011. It is now a weekend-long contest with levels from Limit Preliminary to United States Equestrian Federation Advanced and includes an array of activities for the entire family to enjoy.
"Even though we are so famous for our Thoroughbreds and our racing, there was only one combined driving race in Kentucky, so I thought Hermitage would be the perfect place for the second," said Wilson, who, along with wife Laura Lee Brown, bought Hermitage Farm from Carl Pollard in 2010.
As Oldham Ahead Board of Director members, Wilson and Brown purchased the land in hopes of preserving its tradition while creating more horse-related activities. This year's Hermitage Classic will benefit Oldham Ahead, a not-for-profit community group whose mission is to enhance Oldham County's natural and cultural resources while working to sustain its equine, agricultural and commercial base.
"Oldham Ahead was organized to help preserve and maintain the farmlands of Oldham County," Wilson said. "A lot of development is spreading East out of Louisville because it is so beautiful, and there's such interest. We want to make sure that there's something there for people to go see. This farm is right on Highway 42, very visible and historic, so it, and other farms, we hope (will be around) for my grandchildren to come see and play, and watch races on."
Aside from developing Hermitage Farm, Hermitage International Training Center and the classic, Wilson is an accomplished driver, himself, with an ultimate goal of making the U.S. Equestrian team. As a kid, Wilson showed ponies and even made the newspaper in the eighth grade when his horse, Hot Rod, bucked him off the saddle and broke his arm, prompting the ill-written publication headline: "Steve Wilson Broke His Arm While Trying to Mount His Hore (sic)."
Mortified by the missing "s" from the title, the young Wilson thought he could never again be seen in public, but eventually recovered from the embarrassment, while continuing to cultivate his love for horses. About three years ago, he took up carriage driving, which Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, helped bring to life and was a major force in the design of the competition rules. A pairs driver, Wilson appeared in last year's classic and loves competing for both its therapeutic and thrilling effects.
"Part of it's sort of like meditation. It demands my attention enough that I can't worry," he explained of the sport. "I can't worry about my grandchildren, I can't worry about the hotels, I've got to be focused. It's a very therapeutic thing, and then there's an adrenaline rush."
In 2011, Wilson purchased two prized Hungarian Lipizzans, nicknamed Niki and Napli, which he found in Conty, France during the Pairs Driving Championship of that year. With two powerhouses heading his carriage, now all Wilson needed was the right driving instructor, Jose Hernandez of Georgetown, Ky., who moved to Goshen with his wife, Leslie, to work for Wilson on Hermitage Farm.
"We came in January of 2010," said Leslie, an accomplished driver and trainer at Hermitage International Training Center. "(Steve's) devoted a lot of effort and time into making (the classic) really safe for the horses there. … He has made everything so it's just about as perfect as it can be in the situation for those competing and training. … He's really welcoming to (his clients) and their animals to make sure they have a good experience. … We're really happy to be able to help in developing this center."
This year's Hermitage Classic is expected to attract famed equine competitor Chester Weber, seven-time United States National Four-In-Hand Driving Champion, and Misdee Wrigley-Miller, who placed fifth in the USEF National Pair Championship at Live Oak. And, while there will be plenty of stunning horses and a challenging race course to witness, there's much more involved with this weekend event. Attendees can also view adorable canines scampering toward the finish line in the Terrier and Dachshund Races hosted by the Bluegrass Working Terrier Association at noon on Saturday, Sept. 22. Entrees will compete in flat and hurdle racing with such divisions as "wee bits under 10 (inches)," "clueless novices" and "oddball breeds."
The weekend is also about socializing with friends at the various classic events, among them the champagne brunch hosted by The Voice-Tribune, which is under the main tent during the Cones Competition and Awards ceremony, 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 23.
The classic is certain to please the horse enthusiasts who attend, as well as those simply curious about the increasingly popular sport. The Kentucky Derby may still hold the reign as the state's most recognized horse race, but with time, and the guidance of Wilson, the Hermitage Classic is set to claim its stake in the equestrian world.
"My goal is to have our course more beautiful than any other in America, and I think we're pretty close to that," Wilson said. "(Carriage driving is) a growing sport. I'd like to get more drivers interested, I'd like for the community to understand it better. When the World Games were held in Lexington, there were lots of people who loved watching this sport, and most of us hadn't seen it before. Here we are in Kentucky with all these kinds of horses and all these different things that can be done with horses, so here's another way you can enjoy horses."

Procedures to qualify and apply for tax deferment on a historical real estate property:
1. Contact Dr. Dan Morrill with the Charlotte Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission at (704) 376-9115 or write to him at
The Charlotte Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission 2100 Randolph Rd. Charlotte, NC 28207
with a request to have your property checked for historic qualifications.
2. Dr. Dan Morrill will schedule a site visit to view the property to verify if the interior, exterior, land, and/or buildings on the parcel qualify as being historic by the guidelines used by the Charlotte Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission.
3. Once the property has been viewed, Dr. Morrill will contact the City/County Real Estate Appraisal Department to get an estimate of how the historic classification on the particular property will effect the tax base if the historic classification is granted by the Historical Society.
4. Dr. Dan Morrill will then present the request for historical classification, all findings regarding what elements of the property qualify as historic, and the tax base effect caused by classifying the property historic to the City Council (if the property is in the City limits) or the County Commissioners (if the property is in the county limits only).
5. If the City Council of Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville, and Charlotte, or the Mecklenburg County Commissioners grant the historical designation they will then draw up a historical ordinance for the property which will be filed with the Register of Deeds Department.
6. Only those elements listed as qualifying for historical classification which are detailed in the historical ordinance will be eligible for city and county tax deferment of 50% of the taxable assessed value. Please note that the ordinance may specify only certain parts of the property as being historic. Not all properties have 100% historical classification.
7. Once the ordinance has been approved and filed with the register of deeds the owner of the property can file for tax deferment with the City/County Real Estate Appraisal Department during the month of January. All historical applications are to be filed between January 1 and January 31 of any given year as specified under North Carolina General Statutes.
8. This historical classification will remain on the property until it loses its eligibility for historic classification because of a change in an ordinance or a change in the property.
9. In the event that the property becomes disqualified, taxes shall be computed as if the property had not been classified for that year, and taxes for the preceding three fiscal years that have been deferred shall be payable immediately, together with interest as indicated in G.S. 105-360 for unpaid taxes. Interest shall accrue on the deferred taxes as if they had been payable on the dates on which they originally became due. If only a portion of the historic property loses its eligibility for the classification, a determination shall be made as to the amount of deferred taxes applicable to that part, and taxes shall become collectable with interest only on the part that becomes disqualified.
10. It is the obligation of the taxpayer to inform the City/County Real Estate Appraisal Department of any disqualification of a historic property.

Pretty much, No.
In general, most Christians reject any idea of coercion in regards to "spreading the faith." Orthodoxy (from Orthos meaning right, and doxa meaning belief) is typically considered more important.
No less a luminary than Martin Luther, in commenting on Romans 12:1, for example, wrote:
Historically, Just War Theory as promulgated by the famous fifth century theologian Augustine, said that a war should only be fought when protecting others from egregious harm - an extension of God's protection for the widow and orphan, as well an extension of the Golden Rule.
A good summary of jus ad bellum, meaning just causes for war are as follows:
Those incidents in which the faith was either "protected" or "extended" by coercion (say, the Inquisition, incidents during colonialization) are typically considered to be negative things by modern Christians today. Even the most right-wing and fundamentalist types like Bob Jones and Jerry Falwell never advocated for a return to these methods. Even Fred Phelps uses "Crusades" as a perjorative! Typically, the most common example of a "faith war" would be the Crusades, and to be sure, religion did play a part in those wars. Grant you,
but it is usually the argument. Most other "Christian" conflicts, like the Thirty Years War, fall into the same category - they were political conflicts as much as religious ones.

Everyone loves the Diabolic Tutor:
But how many tutors is too many? If I'm running a mono-black or black-heavy deck, is there any reason to not just put in four Tutors? What are the possible downsides?
Everyone loves the Diabolic Tutor:
But how many tutors is too many? If I'm running a mono-black or black-heavy deck, is there any reason to not just put in four Tutors? What are the possible downsides?
There are two basic reasons to use a tutor:
1) You have a card that you want more than 4 of, but there is no similar substitute available.
2) To be able to have a 'toolbox' of 1-of answers to different types of threats.
So what is the card in your deck that you wish you could have more than 4 of? What are possible substitutes for it in the format you're building for? Is using a turn and extra mana to get at it preferable to the substitute card? The primary reason not to put in a tutor is if your deck can reliably deliver on its designed win condition without needing access to more than 4 of a particular card.
Toolbox decks are usually meta-game haterators, so it's tough to talk about them in the abstract. Mono-black isn't usually known for it though. Toolbox tutors are more often things like Birthing Pod searching up creatures with desirable enters-the-battlefield effects.
Diabolic Tutor specifically, your biggest challenge on that one is how it impacts your mana curve. What are the 5-drop cards in your deck you're tutoring for that you must hit on T5 in order to win? What 4-drop card are you giving up the opportunity to play on curve in order to tutor for something that comes out next turn?
Turn 4 is not a good time to be making a play that doesn't impact the board state. Turn 4 is the kill turn for aggro decks in Standard/Modern that got a half-decent starting hand. Tapping out for a tutor also communicates a lot of information to your opponent. e.g., The only reason you tapped out for 4 in mono-black standard and played a tutor instead of an Obliterator, was to go tutor for an Obliterator. They will do everything they can to be ready for it next turn!
In decks for big multiplayer games, go for it, play all the tutors you can. When games regularly go over 10 turns, getting what you need late is more important than playing on-curve early.
This question is almost too broad. It depends entirely on your deck, doesn't it? If your deck is a fast black aggro that plans to overwhelm with creatures by turn 5 then obviously taking time out to tutor up a card is an unacceptable loss of tempo. If on the other hand you're running a combo where you can't afford not to have drawn all your pieces by turn 5, then some kind of tutoring will be a necessity.
I do think Diabolic Tutor is a well-costed card: 4 mana and a card is a sizeable investment to make, to the point where it may very well not be worth it in any fast environment of finely tuned decks. It's more likely to be worth it in slow formats like Limited (where you plan to win by drawing your bombs) or possibly, as mentioned, Multiplayer - though I would caution that alerting your opponents that you just drew the best card in your deck may increase your chances of them viewing you as a threat!
I'd say it's the other way around. When is it worth wasting 4 mana worth of tempo for the gain of exchanging one card in your hand for one from your deck? I think you need a good reason even to run Demonic Tutor.
But as always in MtG it's situational. What do you want to accomplish? How have you planned to win/not lose? We can give the best suggestions if you provide a decklist.

I would like to have an alternative phrase that is equivalent to kick your ass, but without using ass. What other words can I use instead?
Some friends suggested kick your bacon (but I am not sure if this means the same thing). I thought about using butt but this is another word I would like not to use. Can I be classy and have the same impact at the same time? Or at least not be that vulgar?
The context I am using the expression is
I am gonna kick your ass out of the bed.

Some churches who appoint elders do so for a term (3 years is typical from what I have seen). Other churches ordain elders for life. Is there a Biblical basis for ordaining elders for a term?
Sign up

Some people in the Bible who had leadership roles held those roles for life. For example, the Old Testament kings and the New Testament apostles apparently held leadership roles for life. Others held temporary posts, like the Judges. I don't recall any place in the Bible where someone held an office for a fixed amount of time, as is common today. But as Flimzy says, nothing in the Bible says that any office must be for life or for a specific term. (Well, except "husband" and "wife", if you think of those as offices.) At least, I can't think of any.
In my tradition, which is Swedish pentecostal, the traditional view is that you are an elder for life. This used to be said with reference to Romans 11:29
I would'nt say that there are a good biblical basis to say that you are an elder for life time. But I would say, and that is an personal opinion, that the texts (specially in the pastoral letters) takes the service to be an elder very serious. And it wouldn't be true to the seriousness of this service to let it rotate for every three years or something.

This question already has an answer here:
I suspect this limit is 0, but how can I prove it?
$$\lim_{n \to +\infty} \frac{2^{n}}{n!}$$
marked as duplicate by Martin Sleziak, Macavity, Sami Ben Romdhane, Xoff, Cameron Buie Jan 15 '14 at 15:08
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
The easiest way to do this is to do the following: Assume $n \ge 4$. Then $$0 \le \frac{2^n}{n!} = \prod_{i=1}^n \frac{2}{i} = \frac{2\cdot 2\cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3} \cdot \prod_{i=4}^n \frac{2}{i} \le \frac{8}{6} \cdot \prod_{i=1}^n \frac{2}{4} = \frac{8}{6 \cdot 2^{n-3}}.$$ Applying the squeeze theorem gives the result.
It's very easy to show by the ratio test that $\sum_{i=0}^\infty \frac{2^n}{n!}$ converges. It follows that the limit $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \frac{2^n}{n!} = 0$.
Suppose $n\ge4$ then $$n!=1\cdot 2\cdot 3 \cdot \underbrace{4}_{2\cdot 2}\cdot 5\cdot \cdots \cdot n\tag{1}$$ and $$2^n=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2 \cdots 2\tag{2}.$$
So every factor in $(1)$ is greater or equal than every factor in $(2)$.
Hint: Show that $\displaystyle\frac{2^n}{n!} \le C\cdot\left(\frac 24\right)^n$ for almost all $n$.
Using Stirling approximation $$ \lim_{n \to +\infty} \frac{2^{n}}{n!} = \lim_{n \to +\infty} \exp(\ln (2^n/n!)) = \lim_{n \to +\infty} \exp(n \ln 2 - n\ln n + n - O(\ln n )) = 0$$
To prove $\lim_{n\to \infty} \,\frac{n!}{a^n} = +\infty$ it is suffice to prove that for all $k>0$ it is possible $\frac{n!}{a^n} > K$ for almost $n$, that is $n!>K a^n$. This means
$1\cdot 2\cdot\ldots\cdot\frac{n}{2}\cdot\ldots \cdot n > K \cdot a\cdot \stackrel{\stackrel{n}{\smile}}{\ldots}\cdot a,$
that is
$\frac{n/2+1}{a}\cdot\ldots\cdot \frac{n}{a} > K\cdot \frac{a}{1}\cdot\frac{a}{2}\cdot \stackrel{\stackrel{n/2}{\smile}}{\ldots}\cdot \frac{a}{n/2}. $
Note that
$\frac{n/2+1}{a}\cdot\ldots\cdot \frac{n}{a} > \left(\frac{n/2+1}{a}\right)^{n/2} > K \cdot a^{n/2} > K\cdot \frac{a}{1}\cdot\frac{a}{2}\cdot \stackrel{\stackrel{n/2}{\smile}}{\ldots}\cdot \frac{a}{n/2}$
which is true for $n$ verifying $\frac{n/2+1}{a} > 2 a,$ because $K^{2/n}=\sqrt[n]{K^2}\to 1$ and $2a>K^{2/n}a$ for $n$ large enough.

How did the red blood cell in humans get to lose its nucleus (and other organelles)? Does the bone marrow just not put the nucleus in, or is it stripped out at some stage in the construction of the cell?
Red blood cells are initially produced in the bone marrow with a nucleus. They then undergo a process known as enucleation in which their nucleus is removed. Enucleation occurs roughly when the cell has reached maturity. According to one research (Ji, et al., 2008), the way this occurs in mice is that a ring of actin filaments surrounds the cell, and then contracts. This cuts off a segment of the cell containing the nucleus, which is then swallowed by a macrophage. Enucleation in humans most likely follows a very similar mechanism.
The absence of a nucleus is an adaptation of the red blood cell for its role. It allows the red blood cell to contain more hemoglobin and, therefore, carry more oxygen molecules. It also allows the cell to have its distinctive bi-concave shape which aids diffusion. This shape would not be possible if the cell had a nucleus in the way. Because of the advantages it gives, it is easy to see why evolution would cause this to occur. However, since little is known about the genes the control enucleation, it is still not a fully understood process.
just to add on to the previous reply...
Shown to be in mice & rats (and sick humans), the cell-cell interaction between a macrophage (this is a big engulfing cell required for immunity) and young red blood cells (RBC), is known as the erythroblastic island (commonly known as EBI). If u googled it, there is a scientific review in 2008 that describes this structure.
At the embryonic stage (in humans), we still retain our RBC nuclei. But as we developed into fetus and adult, we no longer have RBC nuclei. This is thought to be related to the EBI present (in the fetal liver and adult bone marrow respectively). Currently, there is a lack of information of the EBI in other mammals. The only proven ones are mice, rats and sick humans. It is widely assumed (not proven) that mammals have EBIs. Besides mammals, some other animals (e.g. birds) have enucleated RBC, and some dont. It is unclear why is it so. Our lab thinks that it might be related to the formation of the EBI.
In addition to engulfing the RBC nuclei, it is believed that the macrophage acts as a "nurse" cell as proposed in the 50s. In other words, possibly providing iron, and possibly providing some proteins required for young RBC to mature. In early 2013, for the first time, it was showed that these macrophages are important in animal models(published by 2 research groups in nature medicine journal).
As for enucleation (the removal of erythroid nuclei), the exact mechanisms are unknown. But cytoskeleton proteins are important players in enucleation. However, there isnt enough information, as these proteins are essential for other important cellular activities as well. For example, bringing in nutrients, development and cellular migration. Most animal models that lack these proteins are unavailable for studies, and these animals usually die at the embryonic stage.
The research mentioned by EdoDodo is a proposed model on how enucleation takes place, and is a widely accepted model. Currently, our lab are working on another model that could partially explain how enucleation is being triggered.
Advantages of enucleation: In addition to better oxygen diffusion across the membranes, some older scientific papers mentioned that it lightened the cardiac workload. Each extruded RBC nuclei is approximately 40 picograms. A normal healthy adult individual would produce about 2 million RBC per second. That would be 0.08 milligrams of weight per second are required to be removed. However, I couldnt trace the scientific evidence for this claim, but this have been cited by some scientific papers.
The other advantage would be to reduce risk of hemolysis when transversing through the microvasculature. In other words, mature RBC can move along tiny blood capillaries by changing their biconcave shape (to bell-shaped I think), so that they will not rupture (and die).
I hope this helps.. :)
P.S. I forgot to add that, not all RBCs have similar shapes and sizes. You might want to google it for more information. I think camels have slightly different RBC morphology.
The only function of the red blood cell is to transport oxygen, and nothing else. Its concave shape is to increase its surface area, so more oxygen can be transported per cell. The absence of a nucleus means it can be significantly more concave than an other cell of analogous size, meaning it can carry more oxygen.
Other answers are more detailed, but this is the main reason that there is an absence of a nucleus.

The New Republic is a joke. Plagiarism, poor fact-checking, and other ridiculous garbage.Hide replies
Read the article.
He said it hmself.... deide and conquer. The master of wedge politics. Us against them.
And just what would you call the Doyle philosophy? You remember, if you ain't in da union, you're not one of us......
What a foolish statement, LG. Please, enlighten us with a direct quote from Doyle using those exact words...
Actions speak louder than words chuckie.
Much of the legislation supported by that regime was designed to kiss da union backside at the expense of the taxpayer. Hence, if you ain't in da union you're not one of us.....
Unions represent 6.6 percent of the employees in this country. You are disillusion LG to think unions have that kind of power. Republican war against unions, women, poor, returning soldiers, ect.
Walker will not translate nationally. You're a dinosaur LG.
Money talks and considering the amount those 6.6% have been bilked out of over the years.......
bilked? do you have a bilk number? or are you just inventing again.
Doyle was NEVER IN ANY UNION in his life
So did Saul Alinsky. And that is exactly what the Obama administration has been doing with their wars on.
Izzatso: Sorta like Fox News....
Yes, and Sykes and Belling are non-partisan.
I don't listen to Sykes but I've never heard Belling proclaim to be non-partisan.
So good job, you figured out that a radio personality is not what he's never claimed to be.
I don't listen to any of that garbage.
Then how do you know whether Sykes or Belling are partisan or not?
Not even going to give that an answer.
where are you from fire?
how do we know if the terrible two are patisan? their ridicule of all things liberal?
How about CEO magazine, run by one guy who declared Scott Walker man of the year?
Being a liberal is so easy. Just call someone a "racist" and watch the media fawn.Hide replies
MKE - except when the republicans are racists themselves -
Bohix - you seem to have an awful lot of time to contemplate, post and Play judge and jury. My guess is someone was mean to you.
Republicans are racists. We have heard them speak it time and again like Clive Bundy and Sterling. They are also against immigration reform and are passing voter suppression laws to make it harder for minorities to vote.
Molly, Sterling is a lifelong Democrat. Nice try though.
Hey Lucky. You gotta watch other channels.
By the end of the weekend, stories were published, noting that "L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling, whom commentators have tried to tie to the Republican Party after his alleged racist statements, is in fact a Democrat." Except, he isn't. According to the Los Angeles Board of Elections, Sterling is a registered Republican, who first registered in California in 1974. The state database's records have listed him as a Republican since 2002. He voted in both the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections.
Being a conservative is so easy. Blame all the state's problems on black people.
and unions.
And teachers.
Especially when he IS a racist...or, at least panders to suburban and rural racists.
And being a Republican means you don't have to think.
Which works out well since most conservatives are incapable of independent thought ... that is how they got to be "convervative" ... the word means "1.reluctant to accept change: in favor of preserving the status quo and traditional values and customs, and against abrupt change" ... which means ... NO THINKING REQUIRED
I'm not so much against conservatives but against the tea-partiers in particular...the SUPER conservatives. Walker is one of those. They are a scourge on society....against the poor, the elderly, the disabled. Their philosophy is that every MAN earn his own way and all those who 'bilk' them out of their money be damned. They are anti-change, love their guns, and to hell with everyone else. It's the Wild West philosophy.
That's the down side of divide-and-conquer. When you're that polarizing figure, you get targeted for any and every thing....whether it's true or not. Never did hear anymore about that out of wedlock story.
Maybe if you Cons could read, you would see what kind of a guy Walker is ! All you ever have is sarcastic remarks about something you don't even read. No wonder Republicans can't win a Presidential election, you can't face the truth !Hide replies
they can't criticize. they are cut from the same cloth.
Of the last 4 Presidential elections, the GOP won 2.
Republicans will never win another Presidential election.
And of the last 6, Democrats won 4.
Your point, noleche?
If the GOP couldn't win a Presidential election, that would have been 6 out of 6 for the Democrats.
"We won't want Wisconsin to become like Milwaukee"
Wink, wink, eh governor?
Is there a question here?
Walker is nothing more than a Koch brothers pawn/puppet. He will do whatever they want him to do. After all, they made him governor. Now they will try to make him president. We the people can TRY to fight against their billions. It's not looking too good. Tea-partiers like Walker need to be dumped....quickly...despite their hollow crowing about their win against Kantor, who, btw, isn't even mainstream Republican. He's a conservative. Sheesh! They're cannibalizing themselves...not a bad idea....Hide replies

Hey GOP! Can you refute what I've said?
That would take effort, busrider.
Being a racist republican is never having to say you are sorry for all of the hurt you cause those less fortunate. How many people of color are there in Walker's administration? Anyone?
OMG. Kids at Marquette University called Walker "Neidermeyer", after the authoritarian frat-house enforcer in the movie "Animal House".
#RFLMAOHide replies
Let those kids get out of school and see how the states most business unfriendly environment has choked job creation in Milwaukee for years. Let them see their taxes go to those who are not unable, but unwilling to work. Then let them laugh and make their jokes. They obviously lack common sense as it is, going to a third rate school and paying top dollar.

Panjiva data shows nice rebound from January to February
Data from Panjiva, an online search engine with detailed information on global suppliers and manufacturers, found that the number of United States-bound waterborne shipments increased 17 percent from December to January.
This represents a significant improvement from a 14 percent decline from November to December and a 2 percent decline from October to November. What's more, the most recent batch of data halts a four-month stretch in which U.S.-bound waterborne shipments declined.
The actual number of shipments in January—1,015,854—was 15 percent better than December's 868,365, and 12 percent better than the 910,596 shipments moved during January 2010.
And the number of global manufacturers shipping to the U.S. in January—142,036—was 6 percent better than December's 134,864, while posting a 7 percent annual improvement over January 2010's 133,729 global manufacturers. Panjiva said that this is the first time in the three years it has been collecting this data that there was an increase in the number of global manufacturers shipping to the U.S. from December to January.
"These numbers are certainly a pleasant surprise," said Panjiva CEO Josh Green in an interview. "I think it suggests the December numbers really represented a blip, and that we are not at the leading edge of a significant downturn, which is great news."
Aside from this data, Green said there are a number of encouraging signs that support the thesis of a slow-but-steady economic recovery, including the most recent Consumer Confidence Index from the Conference Board increasing to 70.4 in February from 64.8 in January and continued growth in the Institute for Supply Management's Manufacturing Report on Business.
Even with some economic signs, Green noted that the rising price of oil has the potential to be a drag on the overall pace of the economic recovery, as well as wreak havoc on businesses that are moving goods like what happened throughout much of 2008 when oil barrel prices nearly hit $150.
But despite the potential drag of oil prices, there are across-the-board indications that the recovery is gaining steam, said Green.
Green noted that aside from December's weak performance, November and January were close in terms of overall output with Panjiva's data. And when looking at the data from August to February, it is looking at data moving from a seasonal high to a seasonal low.
"Holding steady is not such a bad thing," said Green. "I would expect February, which is traditionally the lowest month of the year, to drop off from January, and I would not be alarmed by that at all. If history is any guide, we should see some growth from February going forward in the 3-to-5 percent range per month. Anything in that range is a typical global trade trajectory. It is a mixed bag and there are some challenges ahead, but we have the wind at our backs, which is nice."

Div has incorrect width when using 'IE9 standards' document mode in IE9
I use the following code
HTML Code:

', t, '
', s, '

This message box has the same default width in almost all browsers (chrome, firefox, etc). This default width is much less than browser window's width.
The incorrect behaviour appears when I try to create the message box in IE9.
Specifically, the message box is stretched to browser window's width if I set document mode to 'IE9 standards'.
Setting other document modes has no effect.
I guess the problem is caused by one of css classes that are used here. (my extjs version is 3.4.0)
Hope this will be fixed

I have just saved some data from a crashed PC to my external HD, which is a HFS+ Volume using Ubuntu live (regular copy no dd). Now I am lost: I don't have any privileges in the Folder i copied on my Macbook. I tried changing it using chmod and chown, both as regular user and as root, but I always get a "operation not permitted".The owner for all those files is "999".
Maybe, you will need repair permissions - easily done with Finder.
The above should repair permissions - but - probably will not help (as you already told)
If the part1 not helped, probably (and only maybe!) you have an broken ACL list. (because files are copied at another OS). OS X HFS has not only usual chmod modes, but maintain ACL (access control list) too.
Try this in the Terminal.app - DON'T copy&paste all at once, enter the commands one by one...
now you can quit Terminal.app and check access to files via Finder and you should repeat the first part - changing permissions via Finder's -> CMD-I ...
As Karmatic has said, it may likely be an issue with ACLs, but I would advise against changing your users UID as that seems like a backward solution and may break things (like the inability to login or access some critical files). You want to fix the files, not break the user UID ;)
If the problems lie with ACLs, or rather ACEs (which are the rulesets for ACL, or better known as access control entries), then you need to repair them. You can list a directory or files ACEs using the ls "e" function.
Run the "ls -le" command from Terminal. You should see output like this:
In the above example, you can see that I am the owner and the group those directories belong to is "staff", which I am a part of. Then you can see that each one has the same ACE, in this case, not everyone can delete the directory. So if we put it all together, there are no ACEs that protect the directories from read or write, but there is no that protects it from deletion, so that you either have to be the owner, or part of that group to delete it. It is also of note that ACEs are ordered lists, in that, the first rule hit is the one that applies, and all the rest get ignored. For example, if you had a rule that allowed write to a file, and then one that prevented write right after it, the file would be writeable.
ACLs were introduced in Tiger and remain largely unchanged. Ars Technica has a terrific rundown on how they work (they supersede chmod btw) and how to manage them: http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2005/04/macosx-10-4.ars/8
And it is of note that OS X's Repair Permissions command only repairs system files critical for the operation of the OS, not user files.
Last time I had such a problem a check disk helped. Since you mentioned "crashed" and alternative operating systems: Could it be that the disk is marked as dirty?
I had a similar situation when I tried to access system files of a NAS drive through my iMac. As @jm666 already pointed out this happens due to ACLs. When you create a user in Mac he/she gets a unique ID(uid) in the range of 500+. You can find your current uid by running,
If all the other solutions didn't work you can try to create a new user on your Mac and a group with a id similar to linux user and you should be able to access all the files with read/write permissions.
Here are the steps you should follow.

I am a new user on ubuntu. My project is to modify an application source code on ubuntu. I had already download an application source code which is using C++. Firstly i need to check whether the original source code can run successfully, how to run it on ubuntu?
Before you try any of the following methods check README or INSTALL file it would be carrying whole info on installation.
I'll give you some common installation methods.
Make sure to do all the following things as root otherwise it may cause such "Permission Denied" errors.
An easy way to do everything as root : At the beginning write
First extract the source code with
1)With make file.
What ever your app is if it can be installed it should have a Make file in it. If there is a file named MAKE your app source work is now easy as pie.
Just lead the terminal to the source code folder
If it doesn't ask to config, it'll be easier now just write
There might be some errors like some packges requires so just install packges using apt.
2)Without MAKE file.
In case the first method goes wrong with error i.e "Make file not found" this may work.
Check if there is a bin folder in the source, lead the terminal to the bin folder.
Run a proper executable you think is the main executable of the app using
Or there may be such APPNAME.sh anything like install.sh run it with
However you can always install well known apps using apt.
Please follow the package approach.
Repeat steps 5, 7 and 8 to test your changes to the source until you're satisfied.
Please, really do not mess up your system with

One linguistic fad I find especially ugly is the use of the present tense when it's the past that's being spoken of. For example, "So now he buys . . . " instead of "so then he bought . . ." Sportscasters do this a lot, but I hear talking heads on political shows doing it too.
I don't know how much of a fad it is, at least from a literary standpoint. Henry Fielding made fun of the extraordinary use of the present tense in Samuel Richardson's novel Pamela (1740), a book in which the lead character, a servant girl, seems always to be narrating her adventures (such as those with her amorous master) in letters even as she's experiencing them. In Shamela, Fielding's Pamela satire of 1741, Shamela writes: "Mrs. Jervis and I are just in Bed, and the Door unlocked; if my Master should come -- Odsbobs! I hear him just coming in at the Door. You see I write in the present Tense, as Parson Williams says. Well, he is in Bed between us, we both shamming a Sleep, he steals his Hand into my Bosom, which I, as if in my Sleep, press close to me with mine, and then pretend to awake." And so on.

|Combined with Ashtar Tower for a relaxed day at Zion. With Joe A., Adam and Joanna....met Joe French at the parking lot going in when we were leaving....Zach told me he and Joe F. set the record for this canyon...now Joe F tells me he set the solo record....he jumped vs rapped, no rope...less than 30 minutes...maniac I say...can skirt the last huge rap to the left he says, please do not jump that one! So a Monday, not a holiday...still ran into Courtney, Zach, Joe F, another partner of Joe A''s along with several other folks we knew who were kayaking the Virgin that day...unreal for a Monday I thought. Life is good.

|Great canyon! Did it in late October and the canyon was very full in many spots. The Great Cathedral was a swimming disconnect and lots of fun. The last rappel is a great finish to a beautiful canyon.

|Although relatively short, this one can be surprising. Once, in June, the slot was dry, hot, and fairly unmemorable. Less than two months later the slot was a mess of broken timbers, deep muddy pools, and long, cold swims--a significantly different experience and much more memorable.

|I did Pine Creek with the WMC. There was a big storm in Zion a week before and the canyon was full of water and flotsam. We were all covered in it by the end of the day. I didn't bring my wetsuit and was pretty cold the whole time. It is a fun canyon but easier when it is dry.

5 Anti-Piracy Strategies That Screwed Over Regular Gamers
Since the dawn of the home gaming era, unscrupulous people have been pirating games, and unscrupulous companies have been trying to stop them. But just as video game graphics take a significant leap forward with every generation, so too does the increasingly inept technology behind copy protection. Only, you know, in the opposite direction.
We've talked before about some of the best ways developers have messed with pirates -- now let's look at the other end of the spectrum, in which developers aim for the pirates but instead screw over their paying customers in increasingly ridiculous ways.
#5. Lenslok Games Required a Little Plastic Decoder Gadget (That Didn't Work)
Nijmegen 2010, via MSX
A pioneer in the "only making things worse" approach to video game copy protection was the Lenslok: a little plastic contraption powered by tiny prisms that apparently sought to negate Atari-era piracy by making the simple act of playing a game so fucking tedious that you'd end up throwing your primitive console out the window.
Via Wikipedia
Nearly 900 people were killed by a rain of Commodore 64s the first year it was out.
The way it "worked" was that at certain points in the game, the breathtaking 8-bit graphics you were previously enjoying would become scrambled into an unholy mess of pixels at the center of your television and could only be descrambled by holding the Lenslok up to that part of the screen. Simple, right? Oh, and first you had to calibrate it, adjust it to account for your screen's anti-glare or flatness, and hold the thing precisely at arm's length or else it would only show gibberish. You'd know it was working once you saw the letters "OK."
Lenslok, via Torrent Freak
Or, like, a gaping vagina and a K.
And you're done, right? Nope! At this point you had to reach for your keyboard (while still holding the Lenslok perfectly still with your other hand) and press a key to reveal a two-letter code on the screen. Enter the code and voila, you are now allowed to continue playing the game you bought, assuming you didn't break your arm performing that last move.
But wait, what if your TV was too big or too small for the code to be seen? Then the manufacturer's official solution was "Get fucked," because the Lenslok was only compatible with the most medium-sized of televisions. Not that it said so anywhere: You had to assume as much after spending hours trying to get the thing to work to no avail. This is all, of course, assuming the packager bothered to put the "extremely easy to use" instructions in your box and that you didn't get the Lenslok intended for a different game (hundreds of people did).
Lenslok, via Torrent Freak
The game apologizes and wishes you luck, knowing that this may be the last time it sees you.
Right, so, anti-piracy efforts in games didn't get off to a good start. And somehow, they were about to get worse ...
#4. StarTropics Made You Destroy Your Copy Protection
Another early method of screwing with pirates consisted of including a code in the game's packaging so that at some point the pirates could get locked out of the game for not having it ... as would a shitload of honest buyers, inevitably. An especially bad case was StarTropics for NES, which seemingly went out of its way to make the code as easy to miss (and throw away) as humanly possible.
We're not sure why copy protection was necessary with this cover.
Say you're halfway through the game when you get stuck on a puzzle with only this clue: "Tell Mike to dip my letter in water" (you're Mike, incidentally). Fine, OK: You've been asked to do weirder things in Nintendo games. So, you go through every pixel of the game trying to pick up anything vaguely resembling a letter, but you can't find it -- because it's not in the game. It's a physical sheet of paper that came in the game's box, between all the safety warnings, subscription slips, and other shit that your mom probably threw out the day after you opened the game.
But let's say you find the damn letter, and let's say you figure out you have to expose it to water to reveal a secret password. In that case, you'd better make sure you apply the exact amount of water needed -- add too little and the code won't be readable; add too much and the letter will fall apart, as wet paper tends to do.
Nintendo, via Destructoid
Especially in the hands of pissed off preteens shouting "FUCK YOU, UNCLE STEVE!"
Even if it works, we hope you remember to write down the code in case you ever want to play this game again, because as time passes the writing will fade out. And if you rented or bought the game secondhand and it came without the letter? Then your options are: A) call Nintendo's hotline, where Nintendo officials will slowly, and seductively, tell you how to progress through their titles for a small fee; B) waste money on a strategy guide to get a single password; or C) wait for that World Wide Web thing to catch on in a decade or so and ask the Internet what to do.
Today, you can buy StarTropics on Nintendo's Virtual Console, where you just submerge a digital letter on a drawing of a bucket.
Via YouTube
It isn't the same without the anger and frustration.
#3. James Bond Hates the Colorblind
Delphine Software
At least the previous two examples graciously let you play your game for a while before unleashing the overzealous copy protection terror. The 1990 PC game James Bond 007: The Stealth Affair cockblocked you right from the start, which is kind of ironic, considering that this game started life as a shameless Bond ripoff and only became an official product when it was rereleased in America.
Delphine Software, via Wikipedia
Turns out Daniel Craig wasn't the first Bond with blond hair, or with a magical chest.
You start up the game, hoping to be greeted by the classic image of Bond shooting you in the face through your monitor. Instead, you are prompted with a terrible example of MS Paint cubism in black and white. You also find a color version of the same picture in the manual:
Delphine Software
OK, we're pretty sure we got a D+ for this thing back in seventh grade.
At this point you're asked to identify the color of a certain piece in the picture by looking at the manual. Easy enough, right? It would be, if the red boxes that tell you which shape to identify didn't stupidly encompass several pieces at once. Oh, and you only have two chances to get it right, because absolutely no one thought this thing through.
Delphine Software
It's either the circle or the smaller circle or the even smaller circle or the triangle or ...
On top of that, the colors printed in the manual were apparently a little bit off to begin with, so even if you picked the right color, the game might still tell you it's wrong ... and then it's back to trying to guess if you're clicking on the right shape at all.
Delphine Software
Just ... something in this general area. The game has already decided that your choice will be wrong.
Of course, you've probably figured out the biggest flaw in this system: If you're one of the 10.5 million men in America with red-green color blindness and you happen to like James Bond, then tough shit, because this game is unplayable for you.
Also, what the fuck does any of this have to do with James Bond? At least the makers of StarTropics made an effort to use something related to the plot of the game, but Bond solves problems by shooting and screwing things, not looking at pictures until his eyes bleed. It could have at least been a picture of some ample-bosomed, ridiculously named vixen, is our point.

Since I did not see any Microsoft/other 'official' folks pick up the ball, let me step up. I have been lurking in this list for quite a while and I am a generic scientific programmer (i.e. I use many frameworks such as OpenCL/OpenMP etc, not just MPI)
Although I am primarily a Linux user, I do own multiple versions of Visual Studio licenses and have a small cluster that dual boots to Windows/Linux (and more nodes can be added on demand). I cannot do any large scale testing on this, but I can build and run regression tests etc.
If the community needs the Windows support to continue, I can take up that responsibility, until a more capable person/group is found at least.
I completely missed the message about Shiqing departing as the OpenMPI Windows maintainer. ĀI'll try and keep Windows builds going for 1.6 at least, I have 2011 and 2013 Intel licenses and VS2008 and 2012, but not 2010. ĀI see that the 1.6.3 code base already doesn't build on Windows in VS2012 Ā:-(.
While I can try and keep builds going, I don't have access to a Windows cluster right now, and I'm flat out on two other projects. I can test on my workstation, but that will only go so far. Longer-term, there needs to be a decision made on whether Windows gets to be a first-class citizen in OpenMPI or not. ĀJeff's already told me that 1.7 is lagging behind on Windows. ĀIt would be a shame to have all the work Shiqing put in gradually decay because it can't be supported enough. ĀIf there's any Microsoft/HPC/Azure folks observing this list, or any other vendors who run on Windows with OpenMPI, maybe we can see what can be done if you're interested.

Surgery tomorrow
October 30, 2011
My ankle surgery is tomorrow morning. I'm trying to not think about it too much, but I am really nervous. I can't wait until it's over. Surgery is scheduled for 9:50 and I have to check in by 7:50. The procedure should take about an hour and I will go home sometime later tomorrow. I'm sure everything will be fine, but it just freaks me out thinking about it – thinking about being put under and the doctor scraping around inside my ankle. Ick.
Prayers, good thoughts, healing vibes, etc. are very welcome!

1600 Microsoft Points Xbox Live (US Only) buy more/save more for $16.99
ON SALE NOW! Buy 2 and save $3.00 or buy 3 and save $5.00. Use coupon "BUY2SAVE3" or "BUY3SAVE5" when checkout.
They are legit. I just finished entering the codes they gave me and they were pretty fast getting to my inbox. Ended up being $15.23 for 1600 points when I ordered 3.
15 Comments add a comment
I did this about a week ago. Ended up getting 4 of them. The calling thing seems sketchy but its just an automated message that says a code. Ended up working fine!
they just want to make sure ur a live person and not a computer
Phone verification is super quick and painless.
Worked for me as well. Good savings. Thanks!
Looks like it might be paypal only.
nice thank you! how convenient
I ordered 3 of these. They got e-mailed to me super fast. All the codes worked. Great deal. You do need to have paypal however and a non VOIP phone.
I too will vouch for them. The site looks super sketchy, and the phone verification thing doesn't help that, but they take trusted forms of payment and I can see how the phone verification can prevent fraud. (And the policy states that the phone number isn't used for anything else.)
I've ordered from them in the past and gotten my codes immediately.
Though I agree the site made me leery I had the codes within 60 seconds of completing the purchase and if you buy 3 you get an extra 5 bux off! That is like 108 points per dollar instead of 80
Hey Folks, Can you use these points to buy XBOX LIVE Gold membership and if so is this a good way to get it cheap or is there better ways to get it? The "Gold" thing is one of those I want it, but will not use it often so want it cheap. (Like who doesnt want it cheap? LOL )
Bought 3 today. They were emailed right away, and all 3 codes were good. I do have VOIP phone, and the security code portion did not work. I wound up using my cell phone number, so that I could receive a confirmation code prior to my purchase.
@wyreless: They have seperate XBox Live for sale on their site.
Thanks Yank. Love the support at WOOT deals by the members.
What do you guys think, is $41.89 for 12 Months of XBOX Live Gold about as good as I am going to get?
For 12 month you can find them for $36. I would wait a month cause once the Black Friday deals start coming out you can find them for around $32 - $36.
I bought 5 of these. Codes emailed almost instantly. This deal is awesome.
yeah I would wait till Gold membership is around 30 something.
Thanks to all. Ap0preciate the input . And the Black Friday tip also. Cant believe it is almost here AGAIN. Like I said, I dont really need it. I just want it because my XBOX can use it, but the funny thing is I have a ROKU so I dont need any of those features, I have a stand along VUDU player, dont need that feature, but I just want the XBOX to have the capability when I need it. Nothing worse then Microsft releases some cool new feature, I go to use it, and then BAM! "THIS FEATURE REQUIRES THE XBOX LIVE GOLD MEMBERSHIP!. Thats how they get me!!
Thanks again for the great input. Second time I have gotten into a WOOT! Local Deal chat and found some excellent feedback.Appreciate it..
Worked for me as well. You rarely find a discount on MS Points like this. Great deal!

In my analysis class I use the following problem to illustrate the divergence of the harmonic series (consider this as a hint for solving it).
Exercise. A beetle creeps along a 1-meter infinitely elastic tape with constant velocity. Every hour the tape is lengthened out by 1 meter, and the beetle remains at the same rate of the tape it has already reached to the moment. Will the beetle ever reach the end of the tape?
This is not a paradox but a calculation of a mathematically idealised model "from life". Do you have some other, probably nicer examples which illustrate some standard but deep results in analysis, algebra, probability, geometry, and so on, and so on, and so on. Please keep in mind an average undergraduate student as the audience for your example and allow others to use it in his/her teaching.
Thank you!

Just bought my first shotgun a Remington 870
Posted 26 September 2012 - 06:31 AM
Hi everyone,
Happy to finally say I am the new owner of a Remington 870, pick it up 10/6. I'm looking forward to duck and turkey hunting, and have a lot of learning to do. But I do have a drive to learn and passion to get out there, get dirty and have some fun.
A couple things:
What kind of chokes do I need for dove? duck? turkey?
Do I absolutely need a dog?
Any tips on cleaning your shotguns after use?
Sorry if these are all duplicate questions from past posts.
Thanks for reading

Well, Grant and Baja said it well...
For duck & turkey, a tight choke is needed... ie; full, turkey etc
For dove and quail a more open choke can make even a bad shot look good. Improved Cylinder & skeet are my personal favorites. And as said above, the gun & load (pattern at 23 yards) will determine what to use. HOWEVER, I personally have seen skeet almost always work good with many types of ammo, in every shotgun I've patterned... unlike Improved Cylinder or modified etc! It is the safest bet (most reliable) for upland birds IMO.
Happy Hunting
Posted 26 September 2012 - 10:01 AM
I have had good results with Carlson's Extended Sporting Clays chokes in my hunting shotguns.
For steel loads a Modified choke is quite often considered to be a steel full choke. Quite a few duck hunters use Improved Cylinder, Light Modified or Modified for shooting steel shot, Hevi-Shot and the other heavier than lead high density shot.
Posted 26 September 2012 - 10:30 AM
Do I absolutely need a dog?
Any tips on cleaning your shotguns after use?
No you don't need a dog, but it does make your chances better when hunting upland game. Ducks you don't need a retriever to hunt them.
An 870 is so easy to remove the barrel it doesn't hurt to run a swab through it every couple of uses. As a kid I only removed the trigger assemble if I got the gun really dirty, muddy or dropped it in the water. If you have it out in the rain it's recommended that you dry it thoroughly and wipe it down with a good oil.
Posted 26 September 2012 - 10:37 AM
I think you are going to like that one.
If you need a skeet thrower, I have one you can use,
that way you can sharpen your skills.
I highly reccomend that you have the gun fitted
to you,
It makes a big differance in accuracy.

Thanks Tom, I was just thinking about how I would practice, so to borrow your skeet thrower sometime would be great, im guessing in Concord they have a shotgun area? I got a 12 gauge with a 28in barrel. It comes with one choke but when I get it I will be buying different chokes to fit the kind of game I will be hunting.
Thanks everyone for your input, im very much looking forward to getting out in the field. Now I need to find the BLM land to do it. I live off the delta in Antioch, so any advice on places I could go to hunt are great, also I have a kayak and can get into little sloughs eventually for duck and geese
Posted 26 September 2012 - 06:36 PM
And you absolutely do not need a dog to hunt! No way, no how! It may make it easier to find birds some times, but not easier in general. Especially when you factor in all the cost, care, training, and inconvenience at times. But if you do hunt without one, I highly, highly suggest #6's and a modified choke minimum. Full is even better if you can learn to hit with it. I know many bitch and complain about losing say even 1/3 of the breast some of the closest birds with tighter chokes, but it sure beats losing 3/3 of it when it flies off crippled or runs away crippled and hides. And the 6's will usually drop birds instead of just many times knocking them down or slowly killing them with 7-1/2's, and having to play a lot of hide and seek. No fun, trust me. Plus, there are many times chukar where there is quail, and you already have the shot for them in there so you do not miss that rare golden opportunity that you will kick yourself for later. And you can always wait to take a further shot with a full choke, but you can never make them turn back round to you when they are too far for your modified or improved choke. And being newer to birds, it will take a bit of time to get used to birds flushing, then picking one out as you shoulder it, and finally shooting. Very rarely will they be too close for that full choke, even for us that have been doing it for years . But again, these are just suggestions from what we have picked up over the years, good luck which ever way you go.
When you guys talk about hunting with a full choke, does this still apply if you're using steel loads? I thought I read somewhere to use a choke one level lower if you're using steel.
Yes and no. Yes, you can use full choke on steel, but no, not with all choke tubes. Only certain manufacturers say that you can. Carlson chokes will tell you that you can use all the way up to full with steel right on their website.

I don't hunt with a dog. You just have adjust your hunting spots to the terrain and learn to watch your shots. Don't shoot at dove that are flying over corn or tall weeds, and don't shoot at ducks that are flying over thick tullies. In hunting, recovery is the name of the game.
Posted 27 September 2012 - 05:21 AM
Advice on chokes has been given and it will always be a point of discussion and often contention with hunters. You'll find endless forum posts on the subject. The one thing that you need to keep in mind is that it doesn't change the maximum effective range by very much with a particular load. As an example: if your gun with a skeet choke and a particular load of #6 shot has a pattern that has enough density for quail at a maximum of say 32 yards, a full choke may only extend that to say something like 50 yrds. But here's the real falicy about chokes. People think that more is always better. That is most people will gravitate to tight chokes. In some situations this is the right choice. However, more often than not, especially when upland hunting with a big 12ga, a choke of more open pattern is more productive. This is not just my opinion, but the opinion of the most experienced upland hunters. My choice for quail in the hills and junipers where shots over 30 yrds are rare, is a cylinder or skeet choke. When I get out on chukar in open rocky country, I like about a 1/2 choked gun (modified), but a full choke can work too. I don't waterfowl, so I can't help you with that. One thing I think that will help you more than which choke to select is to take your gun and shoot patterns on paper or a steel grease plate at a range. Pattern at various ranges with various chokes and loads. Learn your gun limitations on a patternboard, not by loosing game in the field. It'll be fun. Some of the best shooters I've met don't fuss with changing chokes all the time or some not ever. It's really more of a distraction to think about selecting the right choke than just picking one and leaving it in for the entire upland season and just worry about your shooting.
If you want to learn about hunting with dogs, read books on the subject, watch some shows on tv, find a friend that hunts with a dog, try a hunting club/preserve that has professional dog handlers where you can see well trained dogs and handlers in action. That last one is probably more important and will give you a better idea than all the other stuff, especially hunting with a friend that has a family dog that may not be much of a hunting dog and be out of control in the field. Out of control dogs are a pain in the axe. The average couch potato family dog is not on the same planet with a well bred and well trained hunting dog in top shape, handled by someone with skill. Until you've hunted with one of these, you really cannot imagine what it's like. Dogs aren't for every hunter. But when you do get a good one, they become your hunting buddy as well as family companions. I know you probably can't imagine this but after you've hunted for a while, you're going to start thinking more about maximizing your enjoyment afield rather than maximizing your birds in the bag. That's when you should find out more about dogs and how they can make your hunting more enjoyable. Me? I would give up my entire collection of expensive vintage double shotguns and hunt with a beatup old rusty pump shotgun, before I gave up my dogs. Taking my dogs out, even without a gun, for my friends to hunt over is a great pleasure to me. My dogs are right beside me as I type this.

I'm trying to let it all soak in right now, soo many different chokes and patterns. I have never even shot a shotgun before lol. But I am looking forward to it and getting some practice in. Here is a quick reference chart I found on chokes:
Soo many chokes, time to study.

SxS, the open choke shooters are most always guys that hunt over dogs. When growing up on the farm my brother and I would tie a thin nylon cord to our belt loops and walk the alfalfa fields for pheasant. Since we didn't have a bird dog that nylon cord would pass over the alfalfa a kick up any bird that was between us. Many times they would flush far behind us so a solid hit from a tight choke was nessiscary to put them down hard......chasing crippled pheasants, on foot, in alfalfa is fun to watch but try doing it with your little brother tethered to you by a nylon cord. Lol!

That had to be a sight to see, you and your brother LOL.
Just my 2 cents, I hunted a long time without dogs and had my best days with open chokes. I like to think I'm a pretty quick shot and pretty decent about centering the pattern. That ain't always the case, but I like to think it is.

I've taken a few wild pheasant in South Dakota with this gun and the same slow poke load of 1150 fps but with 1 oz of #5 shot in place of the smaller shot. It ain't the arrow or the bow, it's the indian, in my opinion.
For the last few years I've taken to hunting all my upland birds with .410. My "go-to" gun is choked .010L/.000R (which is Mod/Cyl in a .410) firing 11/16 or sometimes 3/4 oz of shot at barely over 1100 fps. . Granted I'm hunting over dogs, but it wasn't until this year that I really will be hunting wild birds over a pointer. For 6 years I hunted over a flushing retriever. Mine would typically flush at about 20-30 yrds. A big fat pheasant slowly rising at 30 yrds is a piece of cake, you have half a day to get your gun up before the bird starts to move forward at any real speed. This old friend was about 70 when these pics were taken and he got his gun up pretty quick.
But a quail beelining it away a few feet off the deck is another story. And that's what I love about the quail. It's the most challenging shooting of all the upland birds I've hunted. You have to be ready all the time if you don't have a dog. If you have a flushing dog, you still need to have a quick mount and shot and be able to read your dog. With a pointer, and a holding bird (not always a given) life can be a lot more leisurely, like my friends over my pointer at a wally park hunt.
But...if you have one of these dogs, you're gonna need a lot more help than a full choke.
Did I mention that choke selection was a contriversial subject?

SxS, the open choke shooters are most always guys that hunt over dogs.
Wow... someone definitely forgot to tell our group that. Out of perhaps a dozen guys, only one uses a dog (on quail).
The load was an anti-high velocity 1150 fps,
I'm starting to break out in hives all over... Why you do that to me (& Bisley)? jk

See...without direct adult supervision, people do things all day long that aren't supposed to work.
Like all sports, it's for the entertainment.

Just showin the other half of the story of bigger/faster/tighter is better. I'm as guilty of bigger/faster as the rest, just not so much with shotgun loads anymore. My moving mainly to .410s with small, slow loads, for all my upland hunting is sorta like hunting with a bow, to a lessor degree. More fun for me, and that's the only reason any of us hunt. I feel more rewarded taking 1 pheasant with my .410 than a limit with one of my 12ga guns.

I didn't break out in hives, but I did get a cold chill and almost choke on my iced tea
Open chokes work great if you're hunting something like pheasant in alfalfa fields that are flat and easy moving, ad the birds take a lifetime to get airborne and up to full speed and flush at your feet. But, when you walk up and down hills and valleys or chase through lava rock for even an hour or two and are worn out from twisting your ankles and cutting your hands, it is much harder to get that thing shouldered quickly while gasping for air. Even if it flushes at your feet, you won't even have it shouldered until they are 20-30 yards out many times. I do not have to drop something every time it flies, but I do have a self driven effort to make sure I at least give myself the beast chance I can by having a load and choke that will reach out there and then some (in gosh darn hurry I might add) to do it. Is that not one of the rewards for taking the time to learn all about reloading and ballistics, and taking the time and effort to do it?
And Guess I just find it funny, but why is it shooting a small round with few pellets is sporting, but shooting a 12 with a tight choke making it much harder to hit seems to be wrong? Never understood that one.

choices by others, different than yours, will continue forever. Move past "my choice is right" on everything and you might learn a bit about something and enjoy it along the way.

Had to post that. Steph that shot gun can be used on othe game besides birds. Any thing in this state you can take with it. With a mod choke you can use slugs for deer and other big game ,at close range 50Yards maybe a bit farther. Or you can get a slug barrel and realy reach out to get them . A shot gun is almost as versitile as a bow. Good choice . Go shoot the snot out of it and start getting game.We expect pictures. If I could only have one fire arm it would be a shot gun.

I have a couple questions around Search using Standard SharePoint.
- Does it allow me to search disparate systems?
- If I am hosting a site on a different web server (other than my SharePoint WFE) and I have a links to documents in SharePoint on pages in that site - is there a way allow that site (let's say it is a standard ASP.NET site) to search contents of the documents in SharePoint? Ideally allowing a 2-way search.
