How are you spending your summer vacation?
Alexander Morris '15 is working as a medical physicist and calculates radiation dosage for cancer patients. Anissa Corser '14 is introducing inner-city schoolchildren to opera. And Buck Doyle '15 is learning how the federal government encourages private, public and nonprofit organizations to use renewable energy.
The trio and 23 of their peers are exploring careers in the nonprofit, public-interest and public-services sectors with the help of the Bucknell Public Interest Program (BPIP). Part of the Career Development Center, BPIP awards $3,000 stipends to Bucknell undergraduates who have independently secured full-time summer internships at public interest organizations, which often cannot afford to pay interns.
Because many of these organizations are located in major urban centers, or even overseas, the awards are critical to students' ability to afford these valuable work experiences. Since 2004, BPIP has awarded $725,000 in funding to 280 students, according to Marilyn Shull, program director.
Affordability is key
"I was involved in opera education in the Lewisburg schools," says Corser, a music performance major who interns with the Chicago Opera Theater and Chicago Opera Playhouse. "I wanted an internship that would help me figure out if I want to pursue music education full time." She works with Opera for All, a program that operates in seven underprivileged schools in Chicago. Corser's stipend, funded by an anonymous donor, pays for her apartment and travel and allowed her to attend two arts-education conferences. "It's expensive here," says the Colorado resident. "Without the funding, I would have had to find something closer to home."
Morris, a physics major who aims for a medical career in radiation oncology, received his stipend through the Jared Rosner '02 Memorial BPIP Internship Fund. His position at the Bodine Center for Radiation Therapy at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia allows him to work directly with medical physicists. "These are the people who make sure treatment machines work properly," he explains. Morris uses software that monitors delivery of radiation and ensures correct dosage for the 120 patients the center treats daily. He is the first undergraduate intern hired by the center in six years.
Although Morris commutes from his family's home in greater Philadelphia, the BPIP stipend is crucial in paying for travel costs as well as for a summer chemistry class at a local university to help him prepare to take the MCAT. "I think BPIP is an absolutely brilliant program," he says. "Without the funding, the internship would have been very, very difficult to maintain."
Connections and career goals
Doyle is in his second BPIP-funded position. Last summer, he interned in Sacramento, Calif., where he worked as a legislative intern for Environment California, a grassroots lobbying group. This summer he is in Washington, D.C., working for the director of the Green Power Partnership. Part of the EPA, the partnership motivates and facilitates voluntary demand for renewable energy. The recipient of the Damien and Drew Greenwood BPIP Internship Fund, Doyle researches subcontractors and supply chains as well as the American College and University Presidents' Climate Committee, of which Bucknell is a member.
Doyle says both internships have helped him sharpen his career focus and map out a detailed plan to achieve his goals. "I know in the end I want to go into business, but this internship is perfect for me because it gives me an outside-in perspective," says the managing for sustainability major. "My internships gave me the perspective and practical experience that fueled my interest in sustainability," Doyle says. "I've learned that I'm very passionate about renewable energy. This is the perfect field for me."

"Great Everything"
By Reefinder from Houston, Tx
I ordered two sets of panel blinds. One blackout and one standard for two large sliding glass doors. Before making the final decision, I ordered numerous sample patches to help me decide on the best color and most importantly, material. The blinds came within the specified time and arrived in a well reinforced box to keep from damage. The first set went up without a hitch after reading the instructions. The second set I had an issue with of my own mistake. (I put the draw cord on the wrong side) I contacted the company and was told to send back the wrong one and they would send out a new one at NO CHARGE!WOW! Although I had to pay for the return postage, I had no problem with this since it was my fault in the first place. But for them to make and send a new track at no charge was great customer service. Will be ordering again soon. ThanksView this product
"Just right"
By Panel fan from Missouri
We were looking for a simple, easy to maintain treatment for our sliding glass doors. These panel track blinds are just right. They stack to the left of the door giving us full advantage of the light. The customer service rep was very helpful talking us through the measurements and finding out just what our goal was for the sliding panels.View this product

How do you recruit for Offensive Line?
In analysis of Scout & Rival ratings and correspondance to NFL draft picks, the biggest disparity (between high school and pros) is at the offensive line. It seems that there are guys that max out around their junior year of high school, and other guys that are just getting going, and haven't grown into their body yet. I was talking with the commissioner of the local youth football league, and he mentioned that there is a huge disparity between those who are good players in junior high and those who excel at higher levels. Basically, kids that are pretty strong and coordinated younger have a huge advantage, and once late bloomers catch up, the advantage is obliterated.
Which brings me to my question: can someone out there explain how you recruit for the o-line? Do you look at family history (for growth?) What is the relationship between size, strength, skill, speed, and coordination? Are there a higher number of 5 star offensive line recruits who were graded too high, and who flame out?
While the casual fan (of which I am one) focuses on the skill players who handle the ball a lot, I have thought for the last ten years that the guys in the trenches matter a lot more. This is partially borne out by where the NFL drafts offensive linemen (and also defensive linemen.)
It strikes me that you can uncover more "diamonds in the rough" on the line, guys that still need to develop, and if you have the ability to see and assess this well, it can give a huge advantage to your team.
One example I will be watching is Gary Yerden, a preferred walk-on coming from Parchment, Michigan, the kid who deadlifted 630 pounds. Doing a google search, I found the following:
I know a little background as my son plays youth football for Parchment. All I've heard is he didn't play football growing up due to religious beliefs of his parents. He finally was allowed to play his Junior year. He had some issues with the coach and quit after 2 games. That coach was fired a couple games later for challenging his players to fight him after a game. Really. Then he played his Senior season on a 4-5 team. He was All Conference.
He plays in a conference not known for producing D1 athletes in football. I don't think he ever went to football camps or combines. Just completely under the radar. He's a thick, massive kid with ungodly lower body and back strength. Hopefully the coaches can harness that explosive power and we'll have a hidden gem on our hands.
The more we can pick up guys like that, the better. As an aside, I found it fascinating that Mattison, the defensive coordinator, led the charge in recruiting, contacting his weightlifting coach within 30 minutes of getting a text. Mattison is a go getter.

Officials believe a 12-year-old boy crashed a stolen SUV at State Road 207 and South Holmes Boulevard early Wednesday morning. He and his 14-year-old passenger have been arrested on charges including vehicle theft.
Deputies received reports of a vehicle stolen from North Orange Street and released information about the car to local law enforcement.
St. Augustine Police Department officers found the vehicle on State Road 207. When they tried to stop the car, the driver sped away, according to a St. Johns County Sheriff's Office release.
The 12-year-old was driving the Nissan Pathfinder south on State Road 207 "at a high rate of speed" and tried to turn onto South Holmes Boulevard when the car crashed into a Volkswagen Jetta that had stopped on Holmes Boulevard at the intersection, according to a Florida Highway Patrol release. The crash happened just before 1 a.m.
The impact pushed the Jetta over two lanes and onto the sidewalk, and the Pathfinder traveled into a parking lot and hit a sign post, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Deputies arrested the boys on charges of vehicle theft, grand theft and possession of stolen property, according to the Sheriff's Office release. Their names were not released.
The Florida Highway Patrol also filed charges of careless driving and driving without a license.
The 14-year-old was taken to Flagler Hospital with minor injuries. The driver of the other car had minor injuries and was also taken to Flagler Hospital.

Having reviewed and re-reviewed my path to creating the thing, I have determined that little or no change in original design needs be done. Be that as it may, I am having problems with choosing sensors, power-patterns, and locomotion power use. Though this robot has 24v at about 9 Ahs available, I am still concerned with power consumption. Waste really bugs me. Wasted power really, really bugs me.
Thus, I am pondering power feedback circuitry. I think it is possible to pump EMF flyback into a charge circuit for my batteries, or at least a cap to drive my 5v cicuitry. This becomes more fun as I progress, and new challenges constantly present themselves. I have revolutionized this robot several times, and expect newer concept everyday. The better it becomes, the more I must restrain myself from making it even better...lol.
I guess machines really can evolve.

Yeast Starter
What went wrong? Was this supposed to happen? Should I throw it out? What do I do now?

Yeast Starter
Im planning on brewing a strawberry wheat tonight and need a few opinions. I started a Wyeast smack pack on saturday night and on sunday evening still saw no evidence of activity. That being said I began a starter with sterilized wort in a sterilized jar, added the yeast and sat back. I finally saw activity tuesday morning so I put it into the fridge and just took it out this morning to wake the little guys up. Finally, here's the question, is it worth using and running the risk of contaminating the whole batch or should I just use a dry yeast I keep for an emergency. All knowledgeable opinions are appreciated.

Check the date
If the date on the package is less than 3 months old and you are confident it was stored properly for that time I would go ahead and use it -- then send me a six pack of your strawberry wheat immediately for "testing".

Do you fell confident?
Since you observed activity after you prepared the starter, I guess the question becomes "do feel confident" that your sanitary practices did not allow contaminants to start gobbling up your yeast starter. In other word, did you observe yeast activity or a bacterial frenzy. My bet is that you are OK. I'd give the starter a sniff and see if any crazy off-odors are there. If infected, I'd think the odor would be pretty strong. I've rolled the dice in the past and used yeast from slap packs that was somewhat marginally developed (only about 3/4" thick) and I'm pleased to say that the batch was OK. Please understand though, that my recommendation is based only on similar experiences, and that I am not a yeast expert. That being said..Does anyone have any info on methods of evaluating the health of a yeast starter other than peeping thru a microscope???
Anyway, by now you have probably already made your decision. Hope everything turns out OK.

Whimped out....
Everything smelled fine but I wasnt willing to take a chance....I figured it was worth the couple bucks for the dry yeast...but never fail I tasted the starter before I dumped it and it tasted fine...Im sure it would have worked....at least now I know for next time....

Know your yeast!
You are on the right track. I think you should move to liquid yeast slurry rather than dry. The viability and consistancy is better. The date is a good indicator when you buy the starter but if you reuse the yeast it won't matter once you create a starter slurry. Remember yeast is a alive and want to reproduce themselves. Each pitching, if conditions are right, produces a new generation. (I have a yeast slurry in my frige that is the 14th generation of the original starter.) That being said and without the use of a microscope and lab equipment, the taste, smell and color of the yeast are your best indicators. Most Micro and Brewpub trade brewers, that do not have lab facilities, use these criteria to evaluate their yeast. You just need to become familiar with the characteristics of the particular yeast strain and trust your experience. Remember dry yeast is not repitchable (most of the time). Good brewing.

old yeast
My last batch(kegged today) was a Wyeast 1098 from may of last year, thats 11 months old. I took a gamble on the viability but it came good within 2 days in the starter (started smack pack first though) and brewed out like a treat. Needless to say i judged its condition by giving it a good sniff, hardly scientific i know but what the hell??!! What im trying to say is that the manufacturer will stipulate 3 months or so to GUARRANTEE your yeast but that dont mean that this is a finite time span. At the end of the day, yeast is a lot hardier than we home brewers think.
I must add though that the pack had been stored in refrigerated conditions for that period

Drawn by aggressive discounts and earlier-than-ever opening hours, shoppers opened their wallets on Black Friday weekend in record numbers and handed retailers a promising start to the holiday season.
Merchants raked in an estimated $59.1 billion in sales from Thanksgiving Day through Sunday, up from $52.4 billion a year earlier, as millions flocked to stores and browsed online, according to the National Retail Federation. Spending per shopper jumped 6% to $423.
The spending mania is expected to continue into so-called Cyber Monday, which is the first workday after the holiday weekend, when many indulge in online shopping in their cubicles or offices.
"Everyone is feeling very bullish," said Matthew Shay, chief executive of the National Retail Federation. "We are really seeing a five-day weekend that started on Thursday and ends on Monday. The entire week is really getting extended with special promotions that roll out in waves."

UPDATE THURSDAY 10:30 a.m.
The sun is out and the snow and ice storm is over. Jackson County missed the worst effects of the storm with little freezing rain. No major power outages were reported.
Main roads are mostly open, but side streets are still icy.
Schools and most businesses continued to be closed today. The JCSS will be closed Friday officials said.
UPDATE WEDNESDAY 7:35 p.m.
Sleet has continued to fall throughout the day and some forecasts indicate it will turn to snow during the night. Schools will remain closed Thursday as will most local governments and businesses.
Snow is expected to stop by morning and temperatures may rise above freezing after noon Thursday.
Road conditions are expected to remain icy and dangerous for much of Thursday.
Snow blanketed Jackson County in the early morning hours Wednesday, but so far the area has avoided the worst impacts of what is predicted to be a historic winter storm.
Around 2 inches of snow fell in the Jefferson area overnight and that turned into sleet by mid-morning Wednesday. But there has been little freezing rain so far and most area residents continue to have power. JEMC officials said they had less than 1,000 people without power in the North Gwinnett area due to a tree falling on a power line, but no other power problems.
Roads continue to be a problem, however, with a layer of snow and slush making travel difficult. Most of the vehicles on the roads early Wednesday were state and local government public safety officials and those with 4-wheel drive vehicles.
All local schools, governments and most businesses were closed Wednesday morning.
More updates will be posted as information becomes available.
Jackson Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) has activated its Emergency Restoration Plan and, based on the latest forecast from the National Weather Service, is preparing for a major winter weather event that has the potential to create widespread power outages.
"The National Weather Service is advising at this point in time that we could see up to a .66 inch accumulation of ice from sleet and freezing rain on Wednesday, with sustained winds of 15-20 miles per hour and gusts of 25-30 miles per hour. Combined that will create a threat of downed power lines, as well as downed trees and tree limbs that fall on power lines," said Jim Smith, vice president of engineering and operations.
Jackson EMC has called in assistance from 45 electric contractor crews, including crews from south Georgia, Missouri and Florida, to supplement the cooperative's 34 line crews.
"We'll be watching closely as this situation develops over this evening into tomorrow, and will begin responding to outages as soon as they're report," Smith said.
Smith noted that supplies have been checked, trucks stocked and gassed, and all cooperative employees ready should outages occur. "We're as ready as we can be, now it's just a matter of seeing what Mother Nature will throw at us. We are extremely concerned about the impact of this storm on our members and will work as fast as conditions and safety requirements will allow to restore power as quickly as possible."
In the event of an outage, Jackson EMC customers may report outages from their PC or mobile device at the cooperative's website, www.jacksonemc.com, or by calling 1-855-422-7600, and can track outages on the cooperative's website Storm Center outage map. Also located in the Storm Center is information on how to prepare for a storm, electrical safety after the storm and generator safety.
TUESDAY 10 a.m.
Area schools, governments, businesses and individuals are bracing for what could be a major two-punch winter storm slated to hit the county Tuesday and Wednesday this week. The Jackson County School System and Jefferson and Commerce city school systems were closed Tuesday due to the snow and winter weather.
Of most concern is the prospect of freezing rain and icing Wednesday, a situation that could result in downed power lines and trees blocking roads.
Some weather forecasters say this storm will be much worse than the 2-inch snow event that paralyzed Atlanta two weeks ago. Jackson County escaped much of that storm's wrath, but the county appears to be in the very eye of this week's impact on the state.
Jackson County manager Kevin Poe said Monday that preparations have been made to handle icy road problems.
"Going into Tuesday night and Wednesday, we will continue to motor the weather conditions. We will have our people staggered on shifts so we can go 24 hours straight."
Jackson EMS director Steve Nichols said the most serious weather conditions are predicted for Wednesday.
"Wednesday is not looking good for us here in Jackson County," he said. "For right now, we are expecting to see two to three inches of snow and then approximately one-half to three-fourths of an inch of ice and freezing rain to top things off. This much ice is a concern in relation to trees and power lines."
Nichols said the difficult conditions are expected to be in place through Thursday.
Weather related updates and closings will be posted throughout the storm.

.......in place for Thursday.
I am (of course) joking (sort-of), this gimmick stuff the 'Niners are pulling is bush-league.
The first week-or-two they pulled his "option/bootleg/dive/pass?" assignment at QB was novel.
The last two weeks,...........my wife the (hardcore/longtime/rabid) 49er fan,.............has been baffled/stupified/befuddled trying to figure out WHAT THE HELL? her team is doing.
Much to my delight.
I told her I think A-Smith might be hurt, but the "pundits" are saying the 'Niners STILL don't trust their QB.
The NFC Championship game was (apparently) not qualification-enough to earn ownership's/coaches'/teammates' trust.
Bring-on the gimmick stuff.

An Onslow County man has been arrested in connection with an early morning homicide in neighboring Carteret County.
An Onslow County man has been arrested in connection with an early morning homicide in neighboring Carteret County.
Curtis Liddell Pate, 29, of 1704 Richlands Road in Richlands was arrested Saturday by deputies from Carteret and Onslow County deputies and charged with one open count of murder, according to a release by the Carteret County Sheriff�s Office.
Pate is being held without bond at Carteret County Jail.
The charge stems from an early-morning dispute between Pate and the victim. Deputies responded about 2 a.m. to 109 Cedar Lane, Apartment 6, in Cedar Point in reference to a stabbing.
Pate is accused of stabbing Gary Harris, 33, in the neck over an argument with a woman, according to the release. Harris was taken to Carteret General Hospital, where he later died.
Pate fled the scene and later was arrested at a residence in Hubert without incident.
His first court appearance is scheduled for Monday.
The Town of Cedar Point has no police department � an issue that has come under discussion in recent years as the town and western Carteret County has grown. In October 2012, the town took a step toward enhancing law enforcement services in the town.
Cedar Point receives supplemental services through the Carteret County Sheriff�s Office. Under the contract, one sheriff�s deputy works out of the county western office and provides supplemental law enforcement services within the town for 160 hours per 28-day cycle.
The supplemental services are beyond the services the sheriff�s office already provided to the town as required by state law.

Uneek Fleeces
Polyester fleece is an extremely durable fabric that locks in warmth and resists water. It also dries out very quickly - making absolutely ideal for leisure and work wear, especially in outdoor environments. Interestingly it has also been used to make underwear for astronauts, in deep-sea diving suits, and even as ear-warmers for calves in winter. It's hardly surprising that Uneek have used this incredibly versatile material to produce a wide range of fleece jackets to suit almost every situation. At clothing for work we offer the popular fleece designs we're all familiar with, like the 1/4 Zip Fleece Pullover and Full Zip Classic Fleece Jacket but we also love the new waterproof and windproof microfleece lined jackets such as the Classic Soft Shell Jacket.

Keeping Healthy
Broward County Health Department recommends the following to prevent illness from flood waters:
Returning To a Flooded Home or Business
After Entering a Flooded Building
Important Note
Be careful about mixing household cleaners and disinfectants, as combining certain types of products can create toxic fumes and result in injury or death.
It can be difficult to throw away items in a home, particularly those with sentimental value. However, saving items that have been soaked by sewage or floodwater may be unhealthy. In general, materials that cannot be thoroughly cleaned and dried within 24 to 48 hours should be discarded.
Avoid Mosquitoes
Post-Storm Fish Kills in Lakes and Canals
Health risks associated with a fish kill are difficult to determine without knowing the underlying cause. Therefore, it is best to use common sense and follow these general guidelines:
If you have other health questions or concerns about fish kills, please call your local county health department.

The headline read: "Ship's Cat Found on Titanic Lifeboat- Alive!" Oops, I forgot to say this discovery was on the supermarket news stand merely two months ago. Believe it or not. Please put your money on "not." Remember, the Titanic sunk in 1912.
Tabloids know how to market. They bury bizarre cover stories so deeply that you can't find them while wrestling groceries at the register. You have to shell out $3.39 to get the scoop. TheTitanic cat on the front page of the June 21 edition of the Sun was positioned above the latest Nostradamus prophecies. A wet kitty caught my eye. Curiosity reeled me in.
This was my first tabloid in years. I was a better customer when teaching since I collected crazy headlines so my third graders could practice writing news stories. "The Face of Elvis Pouts on Mars" or "Giant Bat Shadows Cincinnati"- all silly sparks for young reporters. I pasted the headlines onto index cards, lest a risqué ad or story graced the back side.
Take the following with a grain of kitty litter. It seems the cat account came from the Weekly World News (perhaps the Sun's equivalent of the AP) stating last May a fishing vessel off the coast of Cape Cod sailed upon a lifeboat whose side said "RMS Titanic." The first mate climbed aboard only to be greeted by a soggy orange tabby, later estimated by a vet to be about five years old. After the captain adopted the cat, he theorized this may be Jenny, the Titanic ship cat, frozen a century in an iceberg until recent divine intervention thawed her as a tribute to the famous ship. Was a unicorn or Nostradamus in the iceberg too? Lets fact check this farfetched feline:
According to a BBC site, there is a reference in Georgiou's The Animals Aboard the Titanic taken from the Atlantic Daily Bulletin (the paper released onboard the Titanic) about a cat named Jenny which reads: "Incidentally, the Titanic had her own pet in the shape of the ship's cat, which stewardess Violet Jessop said was called Jenny. Ships cats were common in that period because of the presence of rats. While the ship was stored at Southampton, Jenny presented her keepers with a litter of kittens." By the way, Jessop was a World War I nurse who survived the Titanic sinking. Someone handed her a baby as she was lowered into the lifeboat. The next day on the rescue ship-Carapathia, an unknown woman grabbed the child from her without saying a word.
Little more is documented about the original Jenny cat except a Titanic forum mentioning an interview that said a crewman saw Jenny disembark in Southampton carrying her kittens, and shipmates interpreted her desertion as a harbinger of bad luck. There is no evidence of Jenny's color. Female ginger cats are relatively rare- about 20% of all orange tabbies, so the tabloid tale would have more punch if the Cape Cod cat's rusty coat matched the tried and true Titanic one.
As for dogs on the doomed ship, there were from 9 to 12 on the passenger list depending on whom you believe. The very wealthy could afford pet passage. A first class ticket was $4700 (equal to about $50,000 today) and a dog's fare cost half like a child's. Only two Pomeranians and a Pekingese survived that awful April night. One Pom got on the lifeboat with her owner Mrs. Rothschild alongside the unsinkable Molly Brown, whereas Mr. Rothschild went down with the ship. A Chow, a pair of Cavaliers, a champion French Bulldog and two Airedales (belonging to the ill-fated John Jacob Astor) were among the canines that perished.
And now back to fiction- Thelast 12 years I have had a "bone to pick" with James Cameron for breed misrepresentation in his blockbuster Titanic. When the film was released in 1998 many folks warned me about a quick cameo of two Afghan Hounds (my breed) on deck with their rich owners. I can't verify because I am still boycotting the movie. No one sees the dogs lowered into a lifeboat so viewers can assume they drown. I vowed never to see this Afghan tragedy. Sad dog stories a la Old Yeller put me over the edge.
You wonder-"How could she care more about these dogs than the 1,522 human casualties?" I'm not that callous but the drowned passengers are a given, a fact of history; and for the most part, they, unlike the dogs (and kids), got onboard on their own volition. Drowned dogs, especially Afghans, or even the suggestion of their demise would tip the teary equation for me.
Besides Cameron's crew did not research breeds. They probably chose Afghans to denote class distinction between the snobbish and steerage. Although Afghans (or Salukis) are deemed the oldest purebreds known to man by virtue of a Sinai papyrus document from 3000 BC, there were no Afghans on route to the US in 1912. The first ones arrived via England in 1926. A few years later Zeppo Marx helped popularize the breed here when he imported a pair to his Hollywood home.
Ironically, legend has it that Afghans were Noah's canine choice on the Ark. When these survivors of the Old Testament become victims of the sunken steamer, it's more movie bad news than any Afghan aficionado like me could ever handle. Thankfully, history and logic show there is about as much chance of an Affieon the Titanic as there is of the ship's centenarian cat near Cape Cod.
For Adoption at Babylon Town Shelter (631-643-9270): Lamar S. W. Babylon-Since there are no Poms, Pekes or orange tabbies this week, the poster pets can't cast themselves as descendants of Titanic survivors, but they sure know it is a disaster to be without a home. "Junior" #93434 has had quite an ordeal. This friendly, young Lab/ Shepherd was attacked by a dog. He's a "patient" patient while his wounds are treated. Poor "Brownie" #93150 a female Pit pup has been at the shelter since February.
Female: "Truffle" tortie cat C-11; "Sweetie" muted calico in cat colony. Pretty Pits-"Star", "Trixie", "Heather", "Bambina"; & "Jinni" carrying her bowl.
Male: "Bradley Beagle #93344; "Alfy" Cocker #93377; yellow Lab #93460; chocolate Lab #93470.

"So, where does Survival Horror go from here? Given the obvious commercial appeal of games like Call of Duty, it wouldn't make business sense for developers to go back to the niche trappings of old, not when they can fill their pockets with the action-oriented approach titles are going lately. However, there's still room for an authentic survival horror experience."
Publishers/Investment groups are the ones who gave up on the horror genre
I hate how devs are trying to copy action games like CoD and Uncharted with action-filled setpieces when they seem to forget what made the survival-HORROR franchise great in the first place,horror.
From the looks of current trends in the industry, most devs have only given up on the horror aspect of their titles. Though they have cranked up on the intensity of the survival aspect. It is a shame that some of the franchises that put survival horror on the map to begin with have sold out to modern times. Taking an easier action adventure movie like approach for accessible games to please the mainstream consumer.
Luckily we still have games like Nintendo Wii U entertainment system exclusive ZombiU, and the likes of the Dead Island franchise. Two games that keep the horror aspect mixed in with the survival factor. I wish other devs in the future look at those two offerings as an example for how to do things correctly.
Rated E For Everyone
I think survival horror could thrive in the digital market. Make a 5-10 hour survival horror game and put it on PSN, XBLA, Steam, etc. Make it like $15-$20 and people will eat it up, including me.
remember back in the days when they used to make good quality horror games. It was a way for developers to show off the graphics. Silent Hill still blows my mind up till this date. you really can't go low budget on this despite the risk factors.


text: Not just because she's a brilliant, beautiful gymnast. But because she announced that she observed a personal moment of silence in memory of the Israeli athletes slain by Palestinian terrorists in 1972. The olympic committee had shamefully refused to make such a gesture. And we should all remember that the 1972 siege/murder in the Jewish olympic dorms–which received constant global television coverage, including memorable work by ABC's Jim McKay–ushered in the current era of spectacular terrorist events. It demonstrated just how easy it was for sociopaths with a cause to get their message across on television. So thanks for reminding us, Aly, and congratulations on your performance.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Jan. 14, 2011) - After enduring heavy amounts of snowfall over the last week, the ETSU women's basketball team is saying good-bye to the powder and hello to some sunshine as the Lady Bucs gear up for a trip to the River City beginning Saturday afternoon at Jacksonville. Tip is set for 1 p.m. inside Veterans Memorial Arena.
As of Wednesday, Florida was the only state to not have snow on the ground, and the Lady Bucs are hoping to heat up after coming off a tight overtime victory over Stetson Monday night. Senior point guard Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) sank two free throws with three seconds remaining to send the game into overtime, and sophomore post Tosha Austin (Chattanooga, Tenn.) sealed things up with two freebies of her own, giving the Blue and Gold the 78-74 victory over the Hatters.
ETSU (7-8, 4-2) is led by the strong play of Davis, Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) and Natalie Pickwell (Kingsport, Tenn.) this season. Davis, who leads the team and ranks fourth in the conference in scoring, is averaging 15.3 points and 4.6 assists per contest. Meanwhile, Mitchell is coming off her second straight A-Sun Newcomer of the Week honor as she has tallied four straight double-doubles. Overall, the Bluffton, Ga. native has six double-doubles this season (Lady Bucs 4-2 in those contests) and is averaging 14.4 points and nine rebounds an outing. Wrapping things up is the sharpshooter Pickwell - who has scored at least 18 points in six of her last nine games - and is scoring 12.5 points per contest.
Jacksonville enters Saturday's contest with a record of 7-7, 2-3 after coming away with a split last weekend in Nashville. The Dolphins began the trip with a 74-69 loss at Lipscomb, but picked up a key 70-60 victory over Belmont on Monday.
The Dolphins are led by junior guard Crystal Bell's 10.9 points, while senior forward Lynsey Paschal is averaging 10.8 points and 7.9 rebounds per game.
As a team, Jacksonville is averaging 65.1 points, but allowing the opposition to score 68.6; however, the Dolphins are holding their opponents to 28 percent shooting from three-point territory.
Saturday marks the 12th meeting between the clubs and the Lady Bucs hold a commanding 11-1 all-time series lead. ETSU has won eight straight versus Jacksonville since falling 83-79 to the Dolphins inside Swisher Gym back on Feb. 15, 2007. Three of ETSU's 11 victories have come in the A-Sun Tournament - including back-to-back victories in the conference championship (2008 and 2009).
Fans unable to make the trip to Jacksonville can listen to all the action as Voice of the Bucs Jay Sandos will carry the play-by-play on WXSM-AM 640. Also, live video streaming will be offered on A-Sun.TV.

Grande Ligne is one of those dirt roads in the middle of nowhere that are so characteristic of the Eastern Townships. Offering views of fields and farms and rolling hills in every direction, it runs through the rural community of Racine. It's a drive that Albert Jordan and Elaine Cadotte never tire of, even although they've lived on Grande Ligne for over 30 years.
According to Albert, who grew up in Birmingham, it was the views that first drew him to the site. In 1964, newly arrived from France, he was heading for the coast to vacation by the sea. Quite by chance, he drove through the Eastern Townships and before the year was out, ended up buying what used to be a dairy farm.
"This beautiful area reminded me so much of Europe," recalled Jordan. "I asked around to see if I could rent a place to stay here for a while. A local woman told me about the dairy farm, but it was for sale, not for rent."
"I really had no intention of buying a house. In Europe that's a major operation, but when I heard what the owner was asking for it, I decided to take a chance."
Jordan ended up paying $5,900 for 85 acres of land - which, even back in the 1960s, was a bargain. Today, Albert and Elaine's country home is worth at least $800,000 but it's a far cry from the simple 24-ft.-by-24-ft. building they started out with. The dairy farm has evolved into an elegant, 2,500 sq-ft. home with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, a den, an open plan kitchen, home office, library and a huge living and dining area (which the couple call "the big room") with a wraparound balcony overlooking a man-made lake.
Initially, the country house served as a place to escape to during weekends, but lured by those spectacular views, it didn't take long for the couple to decide they wanted to live in it full time. Jordan and Cadotte are freelance translators and although they drive into Montreal occasionally to see clients, they can conduct most of their business from Racine.
Creating their "dream home" wasn't easy. It involved endless patience and four decades of "blood, sweat and tears" - not least because that same rolling landscape that was so seductive to the eye proved to be a real challenge during every phase of construction.
"I don't know what on Earth I was thinking about," said Jordan, ruefully. "There isn't a flat surface anywhere on the property. The ground is a mixture of granite and quartz, so we had to dynamite all over the place before we could even think of building."
Jordan, who admits to being "completely inept" when it comes to construction, hired a couple of local workers to guide him. ("We had help and then we had super duper help," said Cadotte.)
One of the first projects was creating a lake at the end of what is now an attractively landscaped garden, surrounded by flower beds and trees. "There was certainly nothing practical about that decision." said Jordan. "The terrain seemed to call out for an expanse of water. That's a very English attitude I suppose. Country homes in England commonly have a pond or a lake. I paid this fellow $1,000 every year for four years - just him working with a bulldozer, but I'm really pleased with the result."
To shore up the banks of the newly created lake, Jordan planted dozens and dozens of trees.
"That part of the project - other than mindless labouring jobs - I did myself. I planted conifers and lots of red oaks because they grow like weeds."
The next step was to tackle the house. Insulating the building was a priority.
"The walls were stuffed with nothing more than sawdust and Canadian government circulars from the 1940s urging people to contribute to the war effort! There was no toilet. Only an outhouse and a commode, which the farmer's wife had installed under the stairs because she couldn't be bothered going out into the cold during the winter months."
Jordan's idea was to use the existing building as the template, then build sections on to the sides and above it, creating a two-storey (actually three-storey if the basement is included) structure.
Because the ground was so uneven, that was easier said than done. The construction work had to be constantly fine-tuned, to shore up beams here and there, but the couple persevered, adding "wings" to the centre core and gradually strengthening the building, until they created the amount of living space they wanted - a labour of love that took almost four decades.
"We both wanted a house with lots of light," said Cadotte. "I did some rough sketches - we didn't use an architect - and Albert and I constantly went back and forth, modifying our ideas as we went along."
What is now the entrance hall was the original farmhouse ("if you look closely, you can see that the ceiling and floor are crooked"). From the outside, however, it's well nigh impossible to spot where the original house ends and the new one begins. The multi-level building, which is clad in weathered cedar shingles and framed with white trim, looks seamless.
Inside, in the hallway, the couple have compensated visually for the uneven beams, by hanging eye-catching artwork and furnishing the space with handsome antiques.
Upstairs and downstairs, the house has large windows and glass doors, which flood the interior with light. The walls are painted in pastel colours, adding to the light airy feel. The floors are covered in pale hardwoods such as maple, black cherry and yellow birch. (All the materials were sourced locally.)
The open-plan kitchen, with its sparkling white countertops and cupboards, basks in the glow of a floor-toceiling bay window. The only place the light doesn't get in is the basement, but here too, wood takes centre stage. A spiral staircase ("it's made from scrap wood") winds downstairs from the couple's home office, into a utility area with the requisite washing machine and dryer.
There's also a large sauna. Lined with cedar, the sauna was Albert's idea ("I'd always wanted one"), along with a storage cupboard where he keeps his homemade jams and jellies.
The heart of the house is the "big room," the first section to be built after the installation of the lake. Its hardwood floors and woodpanelled walls create a warm contrast to the huge fieldstone fireplace. Shaped like a triangle with the top lobbed off, the fireplace takes up a good chunk of the living and dining area, but it provides a striking focal point to the room.
The fieldstones came from what locals call a "wall des roches" - in that charming blend of English and French, which is common in these parts. Some of the first settlers came to the Townships from Scotland and Ireland (the French moved in later) where farmers enclosed their fields with walls of boulders to keep their livestock from roaming.
Framing the front of the fireplace are two giant slabs of schist, salvaged from the lake while it was being dug.
"The guy who drove the bulldozer came up to the house and said that he'd left the slabs for us, because we might find them useful!" recalled Jordan. "I hadn't a clue what to do with them, but the fellow who built the fireplace incorporated them into the design and I must admit they look pretty good."

From Patrick Oppmann, CNN
HAVANA, Cuba (CNN) — Just as authorities suspected, a couple accused of kidnapping their own children sailed to Cuba, where they are hunkered down inside their boat at a Havana marina.
Josh and Sharyn Hakken of Louisiana had lost custody of their two boys, whose grandmother was given legal custody. U.S. authorities have been on a manhunt for the Hakkens after the boys were snatched from the grandmother's Florida home last week.
One of the few clues officials revealed was about a sailboat with the name Salty that the family may have used to flee to Cuba.
On Tuesday, CNN spotted the sailboat at the Hemingway Marina in Havana.
A man on board identified himself to CNN as Josh Hakken, but declined to answer questions. Cuban security at the scene asked a CNN reported to leave.
The man, who fit Hakken's description, was with a woman who fits the description of his wife. A child was seen playing in the back of the blue sailboat.
The family survived a treacherous journey on rough seas to get to Cuba.
Authorities believe Josh Hakken abducted his sons Chase, 2, and Cole, 4, early Wednesday after breaking into the Florida home of the children's grandmother and tying her up.
The U.S. Interest Section in Havana "is aware of this case and is in contact with local authorities to get more information," a State Department official in Washington told CNN Tuesday. The official would not comment further, citing "privacy considerations."
But a source close to the search told CNN that Cuban officials are cooperating with U.S. authorities in the case. The source declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter.
Some worry that recovering the children will be difficult.
"Unfortunately, these parents and these poor children, these innocent ones, will now be in a country where there are no laws, there is no redress, and that has been a refuge for fugitives and wanted criminals for many years," Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R- Florida, told CNN.
In Havana, Lynn Roche, an official with the U.S. Interest Section, said section officials couldn't discuss any case of an American who hasn't signed a privacy act waiver.
And an official with the Cuban Foreign Ministry said Monday evening that his agency was unaware of the case and had not received any requests for help from U.S. officials.
The boys had been removed from the care of the Hakkens, last year, and on April 2, the couple's parental rights were terminated in Louisiana, investigators say.
The abduction report triggered an Amber Alert for the children, but there were no reported sightings.
Josh Hakken, described as an anti-government protester, was believed to be armed, according to the Hillsborough County sheriff's office in Tampa, the site of last week's alleged abduction.
There is no extradition treaty between Cuba and the United States, although there have been recent cases in which Americans sought for crimes in the United States and discovered in Havana have been sent back by the Cubans.
The FBI currently estimates there are around 70 fugitives from U.S. justice in Cuba, which is one of the reasons Cuba remains on the U.S. list of countries that support state terrorism. Most of the American fugitives in Cuba have been there for decades and have ties to revolutionary movements or radical groups.
Last week, the police department in Slidell, Louisiana, issued its own statement offering background on the Hakkens and why the boys were taken from the parents last year.
In June of 2012, Slidell police responded to a disturbance report at a hotel where Josh and Sharyn Hakken were staying with their sons, the police statement said.
"When police arrived, both Mr. and Mrs. Hakken were acting in a bizarre manner that alarmed officers. They were talking about 'completing their ultimate journey' and were traveling across the country to 'take a journey to the Armageddon'," the Slidell police statement said, adding, "Let it be noted that both of their children were present in the hotel room at the time."
Because of the parents' behavior and "the fact that narcotics and weapons were located inside of the hotel room," the children were taken by child welfare officers, and Joshua Hakken was arrested on drug charges, the statement said.
"Approximately two weeks later, Slidell Police were notified that Mr. Hakken had shown up to the foster family home … with a firearm demanding the return of his children," the Slidell police statement continued. "The foster parents called 911, and Mr. Hakken fled without his children. We have heard nothing until (Wednesday)."
At some point over the past few months, the children were sent to Tampa to live with their grandmother, Patricia Hauser, the mother of Sharyn Hakken.
"Somehow they found out where the kids were," said Detective Larry McKinnon of the Hillsborough County sheriff's office.
Sheriff's investigators say Josh Hakken entered Hauser's home at 6:30 a.m. last Wednesday. She told police that he tied her up and fled with the children in her silver 2009 Toyota Camry. That vehicle was found later that day just a couple of blocks away from the home.
Those investigators told CNN they believe Hakken joined up with his wife, who was waiting in their pickup truck, and the family drove to a parking garage. A short time later, investigators said, Hakken is believed to have taken a sailboat out of a private slip in nearby Madeira Beach.
Surveillance images showed the boat sailing into the Gulf of Mexico about three and a half hours after the boys disappeared from their grandmother's home, investigators said, adding that the photos showed adults and children onboard.
— CNN's Rich Phillips and Kim Segal in Miami, Elise Labott and Emily Schultze in Washington, and Dave Alsup and Joe Sutton in Atlanta contributed to this report.

Memphis (7-6) built the lead in the first half and continued to push the advantage after the break, as coach John Calipari won his 100th game at Memphis.
The rout turned the tide for the Tigers, who entered the game after a pair of losses at home. Compared to previous defeats to Providence and Louisiana Tech, Memphis shot better, eventually building the lead to as many as 33. The Tigers held a lead of at least 20 points, except for one possession, during the final 16 minutes.
Darius Washington added 17 for Memphis, and, along with Banks, had six assists.
Junior guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) led the Buccaneers (4-7) with 18 points, while freshman forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) scored 10. East Tennessee State suffered from poor shooting, hitting only 35 percent for the game. Smith and fellow guard Travis Strong (Memphis, Tenn.) were a combined 9-of-31 for the night, including 3-of-15 from 3-point range.
Memphis connected on 53 percent of its shots from the field and was 11-of-21 from long range.
Memphis used 14 points from Washington in the first half to take a 39-25 lead at the break. The point guard hit all five of his shots from the field, including three from outside the arc.
Memphis led by as many as 18 in the half, thanks primarily to a 10-0 run midway through the period as East Tennessee State went six minutes without scoring. The Buccaneers failed to cut the Tiger advantage under double digits in the final nine minutes of the half.
By the time Memphis opened the second half with an 18-6 run, building the advantage to 57-31, the Tigers were ready to coast home.
The Bucs return to action on Jan. 5 as they travel to Boone, N.C. to face SoCon rival Appalachian State at 7:00 p.m.

LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas Democrats have suffered politically in recent years after Republicans tied the party to President Barack Obama in federal, state and even local legislative races. But now Democrats hope standing with the president during the 16-day federal government shutdown could reverse their fortunes.
LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas Democrats have suffered politically in recent years after Republicans tied the party to President Barack Obama in federal, state and even local legislative races. But now Democrats hope standing with the president during the 16-day federal government shutdown could reverse their fortunes.
From a two-term senator accusing his Republican rival of costing the country billions for supporting the budget standoff to a congressional hopeful citing it as his primary reason for running, the shutdown is offering hope to Arkansas Democrats that they may be able to stop a GOP takeover of the state's top offices.
"Sixteen days in October was a travesty," former North Little Rock Mayor Pat Hays told supporters as he launched his bid for a U.S. House seat in central Arkansas. "I wasn't thinking about running for Congress in the latter part of September, because I didn't think they would do what they did. "
Now Hays is running for one of two open U.S. House seats that Democrats have grown more hopeful about winning, one of which opened days after the vote last week to end the shutdown. Republican U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin announced Monday he wouldn't seek re-election next year so he could focus on his family, and Hays was the first candidate to announce he'd run for the seat.
With national polls showing Republicans taking a hit politically from the shutdown, Hays and other Democrats here see the issue as a chance to rebound from elections that have been defined by a Democratic president who remains deeply unpopular in the state.
Republicans last year swept all four of Arkansas' U.S. House seats and won both chambers of the state Legislature after tying candidates to the president and his health-care law. It was the same strategy that helped the GOP win three of the state's seven constitutional offices two years earlier and beat two-term Democratic U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln.
But for Sen. Mark Pryor, targeted by Republicans eager to unseat the state's only Democrat in Washington, the shutdown could offer a chance to avoid the same fate in next year's election.
The GOP needs to gain six seats to return to power in the U.S. Senate and their top targets are the last of the Southern Democrats in Arkansas, Louisiana and North Carolina, as well as Sen. Mark Begich in Alaska and seats in West Virginia, Montana and South Dakota.
But Republicans' legitimate shot at reclaiming control of the Senate took a hit with the shutdown, and the sullied GOP image has become problematic for GOP House members across the country who are seeking Senate seats — like U.S. Rep. Tom Cotton, who is challenging Pryor.
Even before lawmakers voted to re-open the government and raise the nation's borrowing limit, Pryor's campaign was eager to tie Cotton to the budget standoff that led to the shutdown. Pryor used the shutdown events to paint Cotton as too extreme, and his campaign plans to continue reminding voters of Cotton's support for tying any spending bills to efforts to defund the health-care law, a move that led to the government shutdown.
"Tom Cotton cost us billions … Cotton and a small group of reckless congressmen took our country to the brink of default," a television ad Pryor is airing in Arkansas says.
At the same time, Pryor is casting himself as willing to work with the GOP to solve the nation's woes, with his campaign highlighting his work with a bipartisan group of senators that met to negotiate an end to the shutdown.
"He's a problem-solver. Tom Cotton was part of the problem," Pryor campaign manager Jeff Weaver said.
Getting Arkansas voters to agree likely will be difficult. Counter to national sentiment, a University of Arkansas poll released this week showed more likely voters in the state blaming Democrats than Republicans for the shutdown. The same poll, taken during the final days of the shutdown, also showed approval numbers for Pryor and Republican Sen. John Boozman both falling to 34 percent among likely voters.
"You can see our federal figures taking it on the chin as a consequence," said Janine Parry, a political science professor at the University of Arkansas and the director of the school's Arkansas Poll.
Cotton and other Republicans, however, are trying to shift the shutdown talk back to the health-care law. Cotton, who has targeted Pryor over his vote for the overhaul in 2010, has criticized Pryor and the Democratic Senate for not supporting House-backed proposals to re-open government in exchange for concessions on the health law — including delaying its implementation.
"My only regret about those votes before the shutdown is the Senate Democrats so stubbornly refused to accept even modest changes to Obamacare," Cotton said.
Republicans are also focusing on the computer problems that frustrated many trying to sign up for coverage under the health law. The glitches have prompted Pryor and other Democrats to call for extending the signup period for insurance under the law.
Democrats show no signs of letting up with the focus on the shutdown's impact, with a publicity blitz that included sending Cotton a $24 billion "invoice," a Standard & Poor's estimate of what the shutdown cost the economy. They also believe it could lead to more gains, with former Federal Emergency Management Director James Lee Witt weighing a bid for Cotton's south Arkansas House seat.
"People who were watching it got really concerned and that's getting out there to regular working class folks…I don't think it's going away," state Democratic Party Chairman Vince Insalaco said.

The series will begin with "The Politics of Memory" on President's Day 2013 (Feb. 18, 2013) and end on President's Day 2014 (Feb. 17, 2014) with "Coping With Crises: How Presidents Manage National Crises," a program sponsored with the Sixth Floor Museum and the Bush Library and Museum.
Other programs examining the legacies of the Kennedy presidency and its impact on American domestic and foreign policy are planned for the months leading up to Nov. 22, 2013– the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination while traveling by motorcade through Dallas' Dealey Plaza.
SMU is working through a special committee of distinguished SMU faculty members and guests known as the Tower Center Working Group on Remembrance and Commemoration: The Life and Legacy of JFK. The John Goodwin Tower Center for Political Studies is part of SMU's Dedman College of the Humanities and Sciences.
The committee is led by Dennis Simon, SMU political science associate professor, a fellow in the Tower Center and director of the Tower Center program on American Politics. George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum Director Alan Lowe is a member of the committee, as is Jeffrey Engel, founding director of SMU's new Center for Presidential History and associate professor in the Williams P. Clements Department of History.
The working group includes:
- William Bridge, SMU associate professor in the Dedman School of Law
- Lee Cullum, journalist and Tower Center fellow
- Kenneth Hamilton, SMU associate professor in the William P. Clements Department of History and director of ethnic studies in Dedman College
- James Hollifield, SMU professor of political science and Arnold Fellow of International Political Economy, director of the Tower Center and chair of the Sixth Floor Museum Board
- Rita Kirk, director of the Cary M. Maguire Center for Ethics & Public Responsibility at SMU and a professor in the Division of Communication Studies
- Thomas Knock, SMU associate professor of history and member of the board of trustees of the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library
- Ruth Morgan, former SMU provost and professor emerita of political science
- Daniel Orlovsky, SMU professor of history and SMU's George A. Bouhe Research Fellow in Russian Studies
- Tom Stone, SMU senior English lecturer who teaches courses that view the assassination through the works of writers, artists and scholars.
"SMU is looking forward to bringing an academic and scholarly orientation to the observance of this somber anniversary," Simon said. "The Tower Center has a history of productive partnerships with the National Archives and Records Administration and presidential libraries, as well as with the Sixth Floor Museum. We are excited about the opportunity to reexamine the life and legacy of JFK and to help commemorate this tragic event."
The George W. Bush Presidential Center, which houses the Presidential Library and Museum, will be dedicated in late April 2013.
Details of the JFK-related series will be released as they become available.

A pair of welterweights looking to get back on track will meet in February at UFC 170, as Rory MacDonald squares off with Demian Maia.
The card is scheduled for February 22 from Las Vegas. The main event is expected to feature Daniel Cormier and Rashad Evans.
MacDonald (15-1) had his five-fight win streak snapped by Robbie Lawler this past November, dropping a split decision. The Tristar Gym fighter had topped Jake Ellenberger, BJ Penn and Nate Diaz during his win streak.
Maia (18-5) was defeated – also via split decision – by Jake Shields in October. That loss snapped a three-fight win streak for the former No. 1 middleweight contender.
The bout was first reported by the UFC Canada Twitter account.

An expectant mom wears the Kickbee band around her belly. When the vibration sensors detect the baby kicking, the device can send a tweet. It's meant to be a way to keep the mom's partner, family and friends involved and up to date when they can't be physically near. Cute in theory, Twitter trolling in practice.

It's a purse. It's a flier. No, it's your baby hanging from the side of a public bathroom stall! Yes, setting your precious cargo on the floor of a bathroom is germy and undesirable.

Sometimes your toddler can't see over the heads in a crowd. We're thinking a classic piggyback ride is solution enough. Paying for a modified piggyback ride is beyond our list of reasonable expenses.

Short answer: No. Long answer: No, because babies wearing shoes before they can walk is already silly, and heels are just unnecessary. Heels are a bit torturous when you're old enough to wear them; let's not start the habit just yet.

Test Reviews
Die MINOX BL 8x33 HD - Best Safari & Travel Binocular 2015
Back in 2010, I tested and wrote a review on the previous version of the MINOX BL 8x33 binoculars. As you can see from it, my reviews have come along way since then, but even so with the scores they achieved, it is obvious that really I liked them. Indeed they went on to win the award as the best safari & travel bin later on in the same year.
To this day, those MINOX binoculars still remain one of my favorite mid-sized bins and that is why when I discovered that they had updated their BL range to include HD glass in their lenses, I just had to get my hands on the 8x33 version. I really wanted to see if they were as good in all the areas as the older version, but also if the HD lenses had perhaps even improved on them optically.
The MINOX DTC 400 Slim tested in the Texas Sporting Journal July / August 2015
MINOX DTC 400 SLIM - Wildlife Camera Sets New Standards for Concealment
With the new MINOX DTC 400 SLIM Wildlife Camera, no more having to mess with trail cams the size and weight of a car battery.
At only about one inch thick, the DTC 400 SLIM slides nicely into my daypack and loaded with six AA batteries weighs about the same as a Kindle. If you've had wanderers on your property, you'll appreciate how inconspicuous this unit is once mounted. It is slightly curved so it fits every tree trunk neatly and snugly. Combined with its camouflage housing, the result is the unobtrusive presence you want and need in an effective trail camera.
Shooting Illustrated Tests the MINOX ZP8 1-8x24
MINOX is probably best known for its micro camerastiny devices that look like something James Bond would have stowed in his tuxedo. The German company has been around for the better part of a century manufacturing quality glass, and it has, at long last, entered the tactical riflescope realm with a complete line of scopes. The most interesting to me is the ZP8 1-8x24 mm.
Beyond its 8X magnification range, MINOX put an innovative reticle into the ZP8. Called the MR10, it combines an illuminated, mil-based reticle in the first focal plane with a red dot at the center of the crosshair in the second focal plane. Using the companys Complete Combat Reticle (CCR) technology, the red dot comes on when the magnification ring is turned slightly to roughly 1.1X and stays on until the power is increased beyond 2.5X, at which point illumination switches to the first-focal-plane reticle. This allows for easy target acquisition and engagement at close range using the red dot at low magnification, and seamless transition to more distant targets using the reticle, all by simply turning the magnification ring.
Optic Review: MINOX ZP8 1-8x24mm Tactical Scope
Released at the SHOT Show 2015, MINOX USA introduced their new tactical line of optics and among those is the new ZP8 1-8x24mm model. For those that have never heard of the brand, MINOX is a very old German optic maker and it has recently acquired Optronica, the German manufacturer of the 3-15x56mm sniper scope for the US Marine Corps. The new MINOX ZP8 1-8x24mm is the finished development of an Optronica design.
The new MINOX ZP8 is a direct challenger to the two other premium 1-8x tactical scopes on the market: the Leupold Mark 8 1.1-8x24mm and the Schmidt & Bender Short-Dot 1-8x24mm. Size and weight wise, all three are practically the same at around 12-in long and 24 ounces.
Outdoor Life tested the MINOX ZP8 1-8x24
This huge, precise optic is a wonderful example of the increasingly popular battle-scope configuration. With an impressive 8x power range, the MINOX zooms from extreme wide angle (too wide, we thought) up to useful magnifications for precision work out to 500 yards. The exposed turrets are tight, and the first-plane reticle has an innovative illumination feature that lights either the center crosshairs or the entire reticle, depending on magnification. Built on a 34mm tube, the 25-ounce ZP8 is lighter than it appears.
