I think most hunters have a favorite rifle and mine happens to be a Ruger 77 ss. I have hunted with this rifle for about 15 years now and I have taken quite a bit of game with it. What is kind of funny about this gun is that I really did not like it at first, the stainless barrel and the synthetic stock took some getting used to. The gun was a gift from my brother. My brother is a gun nut of the first order and keeps tabs on all of the gun shops within a 60 mile radius of his home. He was in a shop with his black lab Jack when a fellow asked how much he would charge to have Jack breed his dog. My brother said that he did not want cash, but did he have anything to trade. To make a long story short, Jack had a lovers interlude and I ended up with a 300 Win mag. This rifle shoots so good that I quickly got over the look and feel. I am not sure how many animals I have taken with it, Probably 30-40 deer, 20 african animals up to and including eland, South American red stag and wild boar, and a few elk, a couple of bears, and a pickup load of pronghorns. They were calling me the sniper in Argentina, just like Carlos Babcock they said, I did not correct them on the name just as I didn't when they were talking about American general George Custard. It did not even hurt my reputation that I missed a couple of shots. I feel very confident when I carry this rifle and I know what this rifle and caliber can do. I plan on using this rifle for many years to come.
My preferred rifle that I have used since the age of 9 is a 300 Weatherby and have literally taken hundreds of animals with it in Africa. This gun is a work horse, nothing fancy but it is super reliable... It's just a good caliber across the board!
Well I actually have three favorites, but if I had to pick just one it is my .375 H&H built on an older Sako action. It has NECG express sights and a McMillan glass stock. It has been a lot of miles and I shoot it all the time really. Don't need to use it but I shoot the odd elk and moose with it, plus pack it up north when I am guiding. It has hammered a lot of bears. I just love packing it around and when I point it at something it goes down. The other two have the same type of action and they are chambered in .25-06 and .300 Wby.
My favorite rifle is my model 70 in 30-06. This rifle has killed all of my African animals ( biggest being a Kudu) several Elk & numerous Deer. I have a dozen rifles but when it comes to hunting its always my first choice. My 2nd choice would be my model 700 in 375 H&H. although I have one in 308 I like the feeling of I can handle just about any huge critter with this selection!
I have way to many rifles but succumb to the addage "there is no such thing as to many guns". My old reliable is a Remington KS in 300 Win Mag. I found the rifle on the used rack about seven years ago and it was pretty beat up in looks and quite honestly the scope was worth more than rifle!! However, this rifle turned out to be a great shooter and I have taken a fair amount of game with it including a B&C Mountain Goat. A gunsmith friend of mine moly coated the barrel and repainted the stock and it looks as good as new. Its a good thing I am not married as I am sure a wife would be wondering why I had so many rifles if this one was my favorite.
Picking my favourite rifle is a tough call..... probably go better picking my favourite calibre. Right now it would have to be the 270 WSM - I have taken a good swag of game animals with this, red deer, Sika deer, goats, chamois, Tahr, Boar, Hares and even an unlucky Bunny or two. For years i used to be a .308 man but the WSM has now eclipsed this. I have toyed with alot of other calibres and wildcats along the way but am now pretty sure this is it as I have just ordered a second 270 WSM (Win Mod 70 SS Extreme) which will become my all rounder and will one day be used on African plains game.
My favorites are the .22 Long Rifle for always reminding me that pin-point accuracy is key and just a good, affordable rifle to keep you in practise and shooting true. The .30-06 is a great plains game calibre and highly dependable. Easy to get ammunition and just a wonderful balance of power and range. .416 is simply the best dangerous game shooting gun. Again, I love the balance of knock-down, range and accuracy of this calibre. On dangerous game, it will do the job WELL. Ammunition also easily available. The .470 NE is a guiding favorite and definately built for African Dangerous Game, with Professional Hunters in mind. It has what it takes to handle a dangerous situations. Let's not forget the trusty shotgun - always a good gun to have with a range of use just by a change of shells. A fun calibre and very useful one.
My favourite hunting rifle at the moment is my Kimber Montan SS 7mm08 - took a stag at 250 meters + with 1 shot & droped it through the heart. Before that it was my Sako Finbear 280 Ackley Imp which I shoot very well out to 400 yds. My current craze is my quartet of classic European rifles - Mauser 98 Simson 9.3X62 and the 3 Mannlicher Schoenauers in 6,5X54MS & 9.5X57MS. I also love my Tikka LSA 55 in 222 - a tack driver that I can shoot bottle caps with at 200 meters. All other rifles are just casual affairs & not true loves!!! Please see my other thread on which rifle to take to Africa & let me have your comments.
I would mean, the one I use. I really hunt with about anything, but there is no question that some can do the job better than others and such is not only a matter of rifle, but also of the used caliber. There I have a fondness on wildcats and like, of course, those of my own design the most. So no question, when I state, I like my Rem 700, it is a statement that also means: I like my .34x68 what I use in this rifle. One other other point maybe: how often do I use a rifle in my daily hunting and there I almost ever use single shots and my most liked are K77 Blaser and there I have my .338Gaby build in one of them and this is my main working rifle at all, as long, as I hunt at home. It is my companion through the week, the month, the year of hunting and in all conditions in all weather, it is ready and it is deadly. Of course, the .338Gaby (consider it as 338WinMag with rim) is somewhat over the edge for small game, such as our roe deer. The best rifle I have for this is an old Blaser K70 that comes in .25x50R (one more of my wildcats). But sometimes I am going to test things and can be enthusiastic for what I am testing, even if this is not my design, not in cartridge design, not one of my liked rifle designs. The biggest part of my hunting during the last few months (almost all drives on wildboars) I did with my new Ruger Frontiers Rifle in .338-08 and used a bullet of German design for this test and man, was that fun with this little rifle! Outstanding! But what counts a few weeks of fun against years of good experiance? So, I would put this question in that way: what, if you would have to decide on using only one rifle for all your hunting? It would be my .34x68 in the Remingtom M700, sythetic stock, stainless, Zeiss 2.5x10x on it in Warne mounts. loaded to shot 225 grains AccuBonded in less than one inch groups on 100m, leaving the barrel at about 890m/s. Not, because it attracts me the most, but because it is the most practical working compromise and still has one of my wildcats installed and is dependable and real usable piece of gun.
gif Though like many of us, I presume, I have too many favorite rifles; I only have one rifle that I will refuse to part with at any price (at least I tell myself this repeatedly), it is an original 6.5 x 54 Mannlicher-Schoenauer. Though it has some chamber and throat wear as would be expected, it is a delight to shoot, carry, gaze upon and of course, hunt with. It never fails to put 160's and 140's into a combined grouping at 100 yds of about four inches and each subgroup is about 11/2 inches respectively. The 160's kill out of proportion to their velocity, weight, recoil and report in my experience. The 140's strike on the same unmoved crosshairs @ 220 as the 160s do @ 100 , so I keep both with me during a stalk. I find that as I age ,more and more I reach past the "big" customs in the safe for the "little gun" as it was named by my son years ago.
I would be hard pressed to narrow it down to one and that ain't gonna happen anyway but my favorites are as follows: 1. 30-06 Custom stocked Ruger with M-70 safety and control feed conversion would probably be my all time favorite if presse to the wall. 2. A Brno M-22 7x57 Carbine, my 5 lb. custom stocked 6x45, my old ratty 5mm that shoots a half inch at 100 yards! 3. A Savage 99 EG in 250 Savage along with a M-94 SRC in 25-35 that belonged to my dad and the other a gift from a dear friend..I shot my first elk and deer with the 25-35 and more than a few with dads 250 Savage in my mispent cowboy youth... 4.The 404 Jefferys and my old .375 H&H Mauser rate high. I hate to stop with so few, as their are other favorites but guess I had better.
I suppose as we all get to know each other on this and other forums our favourite rifles and calibers will come as no surprise. For me the pair of custom 98's I built in 7x57 and 404 are what I could do the remaining of my hunting with. I have a lovely wee Kimber 22 and a Rem XR100 I built as a 20 VarTarg for the little stuff. Of course being a colonial I have to have a 303 and who could be without a nice sxs 12 g. That is my lot reduced to the absolute minimum but it covers anything and every thing anyone could ever want to hunt. Von Gruff.
Favorite? A 375 H&H that started out as a Model 70 Super Grade in 7STW. While it isn't the most accurate, it is the hungriest! It always collects the meat or trophy.
Weatherby 340 Mag; perfect on elk, moose, bears of all kind and did just fine with Namibian plains game. After a few more hunts in Africa, I hope my next favorite is the CZ 550 in 416 Rigby.
Not an easy one this one... I guess it must be my "go to rifle" which is an old Ruger M77 MKII, stainless and with the paddle stock. It has a Shilen barrel in 35 Whelen and is a trusty companion for whatever I might run into. Also my new Ruger Hawkeye in 375 Ruger seems to be a great rifle.
Damn, I can't really answer that one. I'm so fond of each of my hunting rifles, I would have to say that my favorite would have to be the one I had in my hands at the moment. .25-06, .308, 7mm. RM., .338, or .458, it's all good!
Don't you just love it when a new guy joins the Forum and digs up a bunch of old Threads? Like many of you, I have a pile of "favorite" rifles. I have stocked or re-stocked most of my hunting rifles, with probably 100+ hours of work into each one. This includes shaping and finishing, glass and pillar bedding the action and barrel channel, and hand checkering a multi-panel pattern that I have on four of my rifles. With all that time and TLC, each one becomes a favorite. When I first started hunting it was easy to name my favorite rifle. I only had one. It was a .30-06 barreled action and semi-finished stock that I bought from Herter's when I was in college. It was also the first stock that I checkered. Living in NW Colorado and then in NW Montana, I shot a pile of mule deer, pronghorns, and elk with that rifle. Just before I moved to SW Montana, I had a Kalispel gunsmith re-chamber that .30-06 to .30 Gibbs. For the next 25 years, that was my favorite elk rifle, taking an elk almost every year with it and also a couple of moose, a mtn goat, and an Alaskan caribou. As I got more into hunting and shooting, I decided I needed more than one rifle. So I got my next favorite rifle. I ordered a Mauser Mark X barreled action in .20-06 and semi-finished fancy walnut stock from Fajen. Before I put them together, I had that Kalispel gunsmith re-chamber it to .257 Ackley. For the past 30 or so years, this has been my favorite rifle for deer and pronghorn antelope size animals. I've also been lucky enough to shoot 3 bighorn rams and a Dall ram, a mountain caribou, and one of my largest 6-pt bull elk with it. About the time I built my .257 Ackley, I decided I needed gopher/groundhog rifle, so I ordered another Mauser Mark X action and had the Kalispel gunsmith make me a tapered octagon barrel chambered in .22-250 for it. Another semi-finished fancy walnut stock from Fajen, and I got my favorite varmint rifle. It has also worked for several deer and pronghorns. About five years ago I decided to upgrade my "plane Jane" black Remington 700 ADL in 7mm Rem Mag to a more all weather Model 700 BDL with a Stainless Steel barrel and action and a composite stock that would fit me. A little work on the trigger, glass bedding the action and barrel channel, a 1/2" spacer and a Limbsaver recoil pad and I now had my favorite foul weather rifle, good for anything from pronghorn antelope in the rain to elk in a snowstorm. In 2005 I booked a Cape Buffalo hunt in Zimbabwe. I needed a DG rifle. I had a .375 H&H in a Model 700 Rem Classic, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted. After some research, I ordered a new Remington 700 LSS with a 26" Stainless Steel barrel chambered in .375 Rem Ultra Mag. The first trip to the range with my new .375 RUM convinced me that I had some recoil taming to do. A new grey/rose laminated semi finished stock from Richards, a trigger job, pillar and glass bedding the action and barrel channel, a KDF muzzle brake, a mechanical recoil reducer, a Limbsaver pad, and topped with a 2 x 7 Leupold, and I have my favorite African rifle. This .375 RUM has been with me to Africa twice. The first time I shot 300 gr TSX bullets through it to take a buffalo and 4 other PG animals from bushbuck to Zebra. This was the only rifle that I took for my last trip to the Eastern Cape region of South Africa in 2007. On this trip I shot 270 gr TSX bullets and shot 13 PG animals from Steenbok to Cape Eland. Shots were from 30 yds for the Eland to 348 yds for a Gemsbok, including two prone shots at 220 and 250 yds for Black Springbok and Vaal Rhebok. Recoil was not a factor on any of the shots, and most shots were DRT one shot kills. I traded my .375 H&H for a Remington model 541T in .22 LR. It's topped with a 3 x 9 Simmons scope and a 1" recoil pad makes the length of pull close to that of my hunting rifle. This rifle easily shoots 3" groups at 100 yds which makes it a great rifle for inexpensive practice. It is my favorite .22 rifle. A couple of years ago I began having some problems with my .30 Gibbs so I decided to build a .300 Weatherby. I bought a Weatherby Vanguard in .300 Wby and ordered a fancy Claro walnut semi finished stock from Richards for it. I had a KDF muzzle brake installed on the barrel, pillar and glass bedded the action and barrel channel, installed a mercury recoil reducer in the stock, polished and adjusted the trigger, installed a Limbsaver pad, and topped it with a 4 x 12 Leupold scope. It will shoot several different bullets into 3-shot 1" groups at 100 yds at from 3100-3200 fps. I haven't shot anything but paper with it yet, but I'm sure it will become my favorite all around rifle.

Chicken Little, Tell Turkey Lurkey...
What do I mean? Take a look at this tidbit:
J-20 Breakthroughs Based on American Technology
The authoritative voice? Croatia's former military chief of staff! One must humbly bow at the aeronautical juggernaut which is the Croatian Air Force.
The "stolen" enabling technology? Some chunks of metal from a jet shot down in 1999, twelve years ago. The technology is the coatings and honey-comb structure which was devised and state-of-the-art in the mid-'70s!
So, with this scientific information from a jet which is so outdated that it was completely retired from the USAF inventory six years ago, we now can postulate that the first-flight one-off J-20 will be competitive with the USAF F-22 fleet.
The J-20 which currently has no 5th-gen engines, no weapons, no sensors and is little more than a planform might be in production in nine or ten years. By that time the F-117 tech will be a cool fifty years old.
We might as well throw in the towel. All is lost.

Just wait until that 'J-20' crashes, and everyone finds out the 'stealth' surfaces and coatings are nothing more than painted mylar stretched over styrofoam padding - to protect the 28-gauge recycled shoe-polish tins riveted together as surface structure.
That's why it shows up on radar like a thunderhead anvil . . . - 5:06 PM
I remember seeing honeycomb AL in the 60's in use on the Saturn V and Apollo vehicles.
The Chi-Coms made a bunch of Romanian farmers and scavengers happy but the intel they got was useless as far as stealth technology.
The shape of the jet alone guarantee's it'll be detectable by everyone and its heat signature will be its death.

THE new owners of Lakeland Leather say it is not out the woods yet despite widespread media reports that 18 stores and 200 jobs have been 'saved'.
Lakeland Leather, with stores locally in Ambleside, Keswick, Bowness and Kendal, went into administration in June.
Ambleside-based Felldale Retail Ltd and its director, Martin Foster, has bought the stocks, assets and Lakeland Leather trading name from the administrators.
- Cumbrian couple speak of shock encounter with London terrorist Khalid Masood
- UPDATE: Man, 87, dies after mobility scooter overturns
- LETTER: Blobs could be slime moulds
- England call-up for Kendal's Caitlin
And Mr Foster is now working with the Standring family, who established the specialist leather retailer in Ambleside in the 1960s.
The administrators, McTear Williams & Wood (MWW), says the deal was in the 'best interests of the company and its creditors', as marketing the business and assets would have taken at least a month and led to more store closures and job losses.
But Felldale say that while the deal has helped to preserve jobs and keep stores open for the time being, it is still 'far from safe'.
Martin Foster, of Felldale Retail Ltd and its director, said: "We still have a long way to go before we know whether we can save the remaining stores and jobs. Staff are still under redundancy notice and no stores have been saved at this time.
"We remain massively overstocked and we've got to sell £1m worth of leather stocks - jackets, handbags and luggage - quickly. So the closing down sales continues while we fight on to save Lakeland Leather."
Richard Standring, the founder of Lakeland Leather, says: "I wish it was better news but Felldale Retail Ltd has simply bought us some time.
"While we're confident in Martin's expertise and our plans, we absolutely still need the staff to carry on doing an amazing job in difficult circumstances and for customers to support their local store if we're to save the business."
On Friday June 13, administrators, McTear Williams & Wood (MWW), closed four stores, in K-Village in Kendal, Spalding, Gloucester and Antrim in Northern Ireland, with the loss of 20 jobs.
A further 18 stores and more than 200 jobs are under threat if the business cannot be saved, says Felldale.
Closing down sales are underway across the estate in order to liquidate stocks. It is hoped that heavy discounting on all leather goods and summer fashion lines will help keep the stores trading and allow the Lakeland Leather stores to be saved.
Mr Standring opened the first Lakeland Leather in Ambleside in the 1960s.
All gift cards and vouchers for Lakelands' stores are being honoured so that customers can use them to buy merchandise during the closing down sales but no cash exchange will be offered.

Oil Painting Class
I've been taking an oil painting class at the Fitchburg Art Museum with Alex Farquharson. I've used acrylics and watercolors but I've never really used oils before. It's a lot of fun and I'm learning a lot about color theory. Although I keep trying to hit the undo button! This is my first painting. I didn't think it turned out too bad. I'm not so sure about my second painting :)

Toronto Blue Jays: Clubhouse Cohesion, New Faces, And The World Baseball Classic
Like us on Facebook here
Follow @mlbreportsMonday, February 18th, 2013
By Alex Mednick (Baseball Analyst and Toronto Blue Jays Correspondent) Follow @mednickalex
The Toronto Blue Jays had a very well publicized off-season. Many moves were made, including two blockbuster trades, the signing of one of baseball's best and most controversial contact hitters, and a new (old) manager. A core of the former Blue Jays remained intact, but between the big moves made by GM Alex Anthopoulos this off-season, along with the smaller additions, the Blue Jays have 12 new players on their 25 man roster. These 25 players are expected by many, to hit the gates running, and to at the very least, earn Toronto a spot in the playoffs come October 2013.
Clearly, team chemistry plays are huge part of winning championships. We have seen numerous teams boasting extremely talented rosters have merely moderate success, and we have seen teams loaded with professional journeymen have historic success. Michael Jordan is noted for making the comment, "Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships".
The 2013 Blue Jays are very unique in that while half of their team is in fact new to Toronto, many of these players have played together and have cultural bonds. The blockbuster trade with the Miami Marlins brought a total of 6 players to Toronto, all of whom, were quite obviously teammates in South Florida. 5 of these players are expected to immediately be impact players in the clubhouse. Another big trade with the Mets brought over three players who will likely contribute to the team to varying degrees, and have already formed close ties amongst each other due to the relationship that exists between a knuckleball pitcher and his battery mate. Right off the bat, we can account for 8 of the 12 new players on the roster who at the very least, already are familiar with each other and are not entering a new city completely unfamiliar with their teammates. The following players might all make their way to the ALL-Star Game at Citi Field this year: R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle, Jose Bautista, Jose Reyes and Edwin Encarnacion .
2013 Preview of the Toronto Blue Jays:
Alex Mednick (Blue Jays Fan and Writer for MLB Reports): Gibbons May Work Out!
Tuesday November 20th, 2013
Note from Lead Writer Chuck Booth: Just to be fair on this whole John Gibbons hire, I am posting this article written by my fellow colleague/Baseball Writer at the MLB Reports) in order to give a different vantage point. Alex is a Blue Jays fan, so he has a passion for the team. His thoughts are of his own and while I may not agree with his opinion, that is okay. That is why we all have our own minds and are not all sheep! So here is his article (based on a question he answered on my previous piece this morning.)
Alex Mednick (Baseball Writer and Analyst):
I responded to our Lead Baseball Writers Message about not liking the Gibbons hiring in this article earlier today here.
It was, frankly, my initial reaction as well..I was not pleased when I first read this news about Gibbons. I think AA also realizes the consequences of spending his bosses money and then making a poor decision. If it does not pan out, it could mean his job…AA is not untouchable, even though there has been a demi-god status applied to him. Bosses don't like when you squander their money…period.
But for some reason I am intrigued by this hiring. I was absolutely fed up with the Ricciardi/Gibbons regime, and thought that they should have been fired 2 years before they were. But Gibbons acted largely as the puppet of an egotistical, and nonsensical J.P. Ricciardi, which I can attribute to a lot the reasons he was criticized. There is no doubt, even though managers do not take any at bats themselves, they have a large impact on the team. Look at Bobby V and Boston.
I think that Gibbons was a stooge for JP Ricciardi and that is part of why he is so attractive to AA. AA actually stated during the hiring process he was looking for someone who could fall in line with his and the organization's theory. Farrell was the opposite of that, a free thinking executive type, who also seemed disinterested in the organization as a whole. He didn't take the job seriously.
Florida Baseball and The San Juan Rays
Thursday November 15th, 2012
Alex Mednick (Baseball Writer and Analyst)
Last week Jonathan Hacohen, the founder of MLBReports.com called to my attention that the Tampa Bay Rays are an anomaly. Ultimately, if you look at the way their team is structured and where their talent lays, and the kind of game that Joe Maddon manages the Rays are ultimately a National League team; displaced in the AL East. The Rays greatest strength is their depth of pitching that they can reach into the bowels of an amazing farm system ripe with young talent. But from there on out, they rely on an offense that generates runs due to other inefficiencies.
With B.J. Upton leaving town, and Carlos Pena only a carcass of what he once was, there is ultimately zero power left in their lineup. Their DH for the past two years have been the likes of an aging Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui, and Luke Scott. Ownership is constantly complaining about attendance and looking for bargain free agents like Johnny Damon to bring in at the end of their careers and hopefully attract some Yankees and Red Sox fans to the stadium.
At this point, the Rays power hitters are Evan Longoria, Matt Joyce and Ben Zobrist. They have an amazing nucleus of pitching talent, including David Price who just won the AL Cy Young, and they are mentioning trading almost all of their starting pitchers. This is understandable, as you have to dish out talent to bring back offensive talent that they are in great need of. But I still have major gripes with the way owner Stuart Sternberg has approached the past 4 seasons in St. Petersburg, and I will get into more detail about this in a little while.

Philadelphia Phillies: Brotherly Love and the Upton Brothers
Saturday November 3rd, 2012
Alex Mednick (Baseball Analyst and Writer): Both B.J. Upton and his younger brother Justin will be available this offseason. Bossman Junior (B.J.) will be a top centerfield free agent option, and Justin signed a lucrative 6-year deal just two years ago, is widely known to be on the trading block from Arizona. The Upton brothers are the two highest drafted brothers in sports history. B.J. was a second overall pick in 2002 and Justin, the first overall pick of the 2005 draft. They have both had ups and downs in their young careers, but both have performed extremely well and shown glimpses of brilliance. Justin has already cashed in on his first big major league contract, and B.J. is looking to so this offseason. Where B.J. will sign, we will find out over the next months. But one thing that is clear…he makes since for just about any team out there.
The Philadelphia Phillies are one of those teams that could envision B.J. Upton gracefully patrolling centerfield for 162 games. As a premier center fielder facing free agency, B.J. as become far too expensive a commodity for the Rays to retain going forward. He plays top-notch defense in centerfield and has a cannon for an arm. All he did in 2012 as 27-year-old (in his 8th year in the MLB) was hit 29 doubles, 28 home runs and steal 31 bags. Yes, with this amazing tool set that combines defense with speed and power comes a lifetime .255 batting average and about 150 strikeouts a year. There are weaknesses in every player's game, but B.J. Upton's strengths make him a very attractive target for any team that doesn't have Joe DiMaggio manning centerfield.
There is no doubt that B.J.'s speed and power will fit very nicely into the Phillies lineup along with Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard. We have to also consider what it is going to take to get B.J. signed to a contract. Right now, we know that the Tampa Bay Rays have offered B.J. a qualifying offer. While the chances of B.J. agreeing to this are virtually 'zero', it does mean that whoever signs B.J. is going to have to sacrifice their first round draft pick next year to Tampa. For a team like Philadelphia that can afford to sign top free agents, giving up a top prospect is an acceptable part of doing business. Read the rest of this entry
Baseball's Best Bullpen: Arizona Diamondbacks
Friday November 2nd, 2012
Alex Mednick (Baseball Writer and Analyst):
In 2011, the Arizona Diamondbacks made a really nice push in the AL West and finished with 94 wins, 8 games ahead of the second place San Francisco Giants. They performed well above expectations, and they did so with a relatively unglamorous starting rotation, that consisted mainly of Ian Kennedy, Joe Saunders, Josh Collmenter, Daniel Hudson and a revolving 5th starter. What really carried the team in 2011 and made the Arizona Diamondbacks a competitive in 2011, happened to be their weakest link in their miserable 2010 season: the bullpen.
The Diamondbacks won 29 more games in 2011 than they did in 2010. The most drastic changes made by the organization were in the bullpen where the D-Back's added closer J.J. Putz and setup man David Hernandez. The 2011 bullpen allowed 100 fewer runs than their predecessors in 2010 and dropped their group ERA from 5.74 in 2010 to just 3.71 in 2011. It goes without saying that their newly revamped bullpen allowed Arizona to stay close in a lot more games and gave them a better chance to be winners.
Following their great 2011 season, the D-Back's found themselves reverting back to their former ways in 2012. Finishing 13 games behind the first place Giants, and just barely hanging on to a .500 record, the Diamondback's finished 81-81. You want to know something interesting? It was their bullpen, once again, that failed. Read the rest of this entry
What 2012 Really Meant to the St. Louis Cardinals
Thursday November 1st, 2012
Alex Mednick (Baseball Analyst and Writer)
The St. Louis Cardinals came into 2012 as the defending World Series Champions. In 2011 they just eked their way into the post season on the final day of the regular season when they defeated the Houston Astros and the Braves, who were tied for the wild card spot with St. Louis, ended up losing to the Phillies in extra innings. Coming into the 2011 postseason, the Cardinals were huge underdogs. That didn't stop them from going for what they wanted: to win it all.
While most analysts amongst the sport would not have guessed St. Louis would even make it to the World Series, yet alone win it, the Red Birds emerged to show their true colors. The current team that the city of St. Louis has assembled and gets to watch for 81 games a year is, undoubtedly, a team that plays on all cylinders and the highest octane fuel. They play with the intensity of a little league team that wants nothing more than the coach to bring them out for ice cream when they win. Watching the Cardinals brand of baseball is to watch baseball again as a game, and not just as a competition played by millionaire athletes with tremendous talent.
Watching the scrappiness of St. Louis native David Freese in the 2011 playoffs is the perfect example. His David Eckstein-like approach to the game reminds us all of one of our teammates back in middle school. The one at the sandlot that always slid hard, tried to steal home, and complained when the rest of us wanted to go home because "it was getting dark". In 2011, David Freese and his 39 teammates played baseball together as a true team and sent Tony LaRussa home with a World Series title in his final year managing. Read the rest of this entry
2012 MLB Postseason Preview: Every Pitch Counts
Thursday, October 4th, 2012
Alex Mednick (Baseball Analyst and Writer):
With the last games of the 2012 regular season being officially completed yesterday I get the same feeling I do every season…it's a sickening pain in my stomach, that makes me want to hibernate and not wake up until April comes around. For baseball lovers, we are all very familiar with this feeling. We find solace in the fact that with the exception of the month of November, we can still follow baseball transactions all year-long. Furthermore, we cannot get too upset; baseball isn't really over. In fact, some might argue that it is just beginning!
The boys of summer play all those games in the summer heat for one reason. The grueling 162 game schedule sees many ups and many downs, and all of these challenges are met with a firm resolve: to do whatever it takes to get to the postseason. October is the time when the weather turns cold, and ball players become unshaven warriors duking it out to be the victorious few who have the honor to take a championship ring home this offseason.

Miguel Cabrera: Baseball Royalty is Ready to Take the AL Triple Crown and a Spot in Cooperstown
Tuesday September 25, 2012
Alex Mednick: 1967 was the year that boxer Muhammad Ali was stripped of his boxing world championship because he refused to join the U.S. Army. There were 475,000 US Troops in Vietnam. The Beatles had just come out with Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the Woodstock music festival was still 2 years away. Never had a man stepped foot on the moon, a gallon of gas cost $0.33 and Federal Minimum Wage was $1.40 per hour. It was also the last time that any professional ballplayer was awarded the triple crown: Carl Yastrzemski.
Here we are, in present day 2012, and 29-year-old phenom Miguel Cabrera is vying to be the first man to hit for the triple crown since 1967…after almost a half century. Back in 1998 when Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire reignited national interest in our pastime, they were pursuing Roger Maris' single season record for most home runs. Without deducting any valor from the record which I believe still belongs to Mr. Maris, the triple crown does not only take home run power into consideration; rather the triple crown validates a hitter based upon the three most important (Sabremetrician's may disagree) measures of a hitters overall productivity.

Charles II, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg (10 October 1741 – 6 November 1816) was ruler of the state of Mecklenburg-Strelitz from 1794 until his death. Originally ruling as duke, he was raised to the rank of grand duke in 1815. Prior to succeeding to the throne he served as Governor of Hanover from 1776 to 1786.
Early life and service in Hanover[edit]
Duke Charles Louis Frederick of Mecklenburg was born in Mirow the second son of Duke Charles Louis Frederick of Mecklenburg, Prince of Mirow, and his wife Princess Elizabeth Albertine of Saxe-Hildburghausen. On 11 December 1752 his uncle Adolphus Frederick III died and as a result the older brother of Charles succeeded him becoming Adolphus Frederick IV. With his brother's ascension Charles was taken with the rest of the family from Mirow to the capital Strelitz.[1]
From the age of four, Charles looked set for a career in Hanoverian service after being given a Captain's commission.[2] His sister Charlotte married the Elector of Hanover, King George III of the United Kingdom on 8 September 1761. Charles made frequent visits to his sister in Great Britain and he ultimately entered the service of his brother-in-law the Elector of Hanover with a chief military appointment at Hanover following service in Spain.[3]
In the autumn of 1776, Charles was appointed governor-general of Hanover by his brother-in-law. As Governor of Hanover, Charles effectively held all the powers of a sovereign ruler. His brother-in-law had no wish to reside in Germany, being thoroughly English.[3] Shortly after being widowed for a second time in December 1785, Charles requested permission to retire from his military employments in Hanover and resign the governorship.[3] His brother-in-law granted his request, promoted Charles to the rank of field marshal and granted him a pension.[4] Charles then spent some time traveling before settling down in Darmstadt, where he became President of the Imperial Credit Commission.[2]
Following the childless death of his older brother Adolf Friedrich IV on 2 June 1794, Charles succeeded him as the ruling Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.[5]
Ruler of Mecklenburg-Strelitz[edit]
As ruler, Charles encouraged new agricultural trends, established a new police force, and implemented compulsory education. In 1806, his duchy joined the Confederation of the Rhine. Following the Congress of Vienna, he was elevated to the rank of grand duke on 28 June 1815.[6]
In the summer of 1816 Charles went on a tour of Rebberg, Schwalbach[disambiguation needed] and Hildburghausen. Shortly after returning he was taken ill with inflammation of the lungs. He died in Neustrelitz after suffering a fit of apoplexy.[7] He was succeeded by his eldest son Georg.[5]
Marriages and children[edit]
After unsuccessful attempts to marry a Princess of Denmark and a Princess of Saxe-Gotha,[2] Charles married as his first wife Princess Friederike of Hesse-Darmstadt, a daughter of Landgrave George William of Hesse-Darmstadt on 18 September 1768 in Darmstadt.[8] They had ten children together. Two of the daughters became German queens consort.
- Duchess Charlotte Georgine of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1769–1818) married Frederick, Duke of Saxe-Altenburg
- Duchess Caroline Auguste of Mecklenburg (1771–1773)
- Duke Georg Carl of Mecklenburg (1772–1773)
- Duchess Therese of Mecklenburg (1773–1839) married Karl Alexander, 5th Prince of Thurn and Taxis
- Duke Friedrich Georg of Mecklenburg (1774-1774)
- Duchess Louise of Mecklenburg (1776–1810) married Frederick William III of Prussia
- Duchess Frederica of Mecklenburg (1778–1841) married (1) Prince Louis Charles of Prussia (2) Frederick William, Prince of Solms-Braunfels (3) Ernest Augustus I of Hanover
- Georg, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1779–1860)
- Duke Friedrich Karl of Mecklenburg (1781–1783)
- Duchess Auguste Albertine of Mecklenburg (1782-1782)
After Friederike's death in 1782, Charles married her sister Princess Charlotte of Hesse-Darmstadt on 28 September 1784 in Darmstadt.[8] Charlotte died on 12 December 1785 shortly after giving birth to their son Duke Charles of Mecklenburg.

Venture funds look beyond social media
NEW YORK Mobile, biotech and e-commerce all have one thing in common: they are among the next wave of startups that have caught the eye of venture capital.
In the past year, social media companies such as Facebook, Zynga, Groupon and LinkedIn have stolen the limelight as the fastest growing space for venture funds.
Still, they make up just one area, and even a minority percentage, of investment for a number of venture capital funds.
"Social media companies are leading the charge, capturing people's fantasy," Axel Bichara, a partner at Atlas Venture, told a panel at the Reuters Global Technology Summit Venture Capital in New York on Wednesday. "If you look at venture capital companies as a whole, it's a really broad and deep portfolio of really good companies."
Just last year, little known network storage company Isilon Systems, in which Atlas invested in 2001, was sold to EMC Corp EMC.N for about $2.25 billion in cash.
And Bichara predicts other innovative technology companies that Atlas has invested in such as Recorded Future, an analytics engine for events on the Web, could gain popularity over the next 18 months.
Bill Maris, managing partner at Google Ventures (GOOG.O), said two of the fund's companies are also growing rapidly: Silver Spring Networks, a smart metering company, and Dasient, a mobile anti-malware company.
Silver Spring's hardware, software, and services help customers monitor and manage their energy consumption.
Mo Koyfman, principal at Spark Capital, said the mobile platform is vastly important as it is going to be to the future of computing, including payments through smartphones.
"Lots of people in the Valley are interested in mobile, social, local, gamification. Those are interesting because you can touch a lot of people and get to scale very quickly," Maris said.
Internet companies also remain one of the lowest barriers of entry.
Saad Khan, a partner at CMEA Capital, said he believes one of their portfolio companies, Blekko, could become the third-largest search engine in a short period of time, right behind Google and Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O).
An area of investment for Silicon Valley venture capital funds that is rarely publicized is biotechnology.
"The story might be either a little more difficult to understand, or it's not as sexy in a way to talk about and doesn't touch as many consumers," Maris said.
One such company includes biotech start-up Adimab, which Google Ventures -- the corporate venture arm of Internet giant Google -- added to its portfolio in 2009.
Atlas Ventures has spent the last 20 years investing in life sciences generally, and this will remain a core focus for the fund, Bichara said.
CMEA Capital invests in about 19 companies within its life sciences portfolio.
"The opportunities in life sciences are huge, and we have continuously invested there for a long period of time."

A friend asked me this question. Glocks have what they call a "polygonal barrel" and cast lead rounds should not be used.
First, What does "polygonal barrel" mean? Second, I see folks pushing lead with Glocks all the time, so is this statement about not using lead bullets a wive's tale? Thanks! ------------------ Joe Portale Sonoran Sidewinder Tucson, Arizona territory |

Polygonal: A two-dimensional form having more than four regular straight sides.
Doesn't really help much, does it?!? This is an instance where a picture is worth a thousand words. Grab a bore lite and take a look at your friends Glock. You'll see the difference between it and a regular cut rifling right away. The Glock barrels tend to build up lead fouling quicker than a regular barrel. The lead fouling if let go too long can cause pressures to rise to unsafe levels. Many folks do shoot cast bullets in a Glock, but they keep their bores clean. Good Luck...

The reason Glock barrels lead up faster is because their rifling grabs the bullet, instead of cutting in, like regular rifling. Personally, I don't use unjacketed ammo in any of my guns; I just don't like working that hard.

On November 8, the Securities and Exchange Commission denied a motion to stay the effective date of the recently enacted resource extraction disclosure rules. These rules, adopted by the SEC on August 22, require public companies that are engaged in the development of oil, natural gas or minerals to publicly disclose each payment of more than $100,000 made to any foreign government or the US federal government for each "project" related to extractive industries. Various trade associations and the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America filed the motion to stay on October 25 in connection with their lawsuit challenging the resource extraction disclosure rules, which they filed on October 10.

The SEC ruled that the movants failed to show that implementation of the resource extraction disclosure rules as scheduled would cause "imminent, irreparable harm." In doing so, the SEC noted that a determination in the lawsuit could come as soon as the spring of 2013. The resource extraction disclosure rules do not require a company to file a Form SD until 150 days after the first fiscal year ending after September 30, 2013, at which point the lawsuit will likely have been determined. The SEC found that initial compliance costs that companies may incur to prepare for the rules would not constitute irreparable harm.
The SEC also found that the movants did not demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits, noting that the adopting release for the rules contained strong explanations regarding the validity of the rules and an appropriately thorough economic analysis. The SEC was also not persuaded that a stay would serve the public interest.
In contrast to this ruling, in 2010 the SEC granted a request to stay the effective date of the proxy access rules implemented by Exchange Act Rule 14a-11 pending judicial review. The SEC noted that the stay would avoid potentially unnecessary costs, regulatory uncertainty, and disruption that could occur if the proxy access rules were to become effective during the pendency of a challenge to their validity. The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated Rule 14a-11 in 2011.

Gmail is one of the best email services around and not just because it's free. Ok, so by using it, you're effectively allowing Google to scrape yet more data together about you, but for many people - me included - the trade-off is worth it.
However, most people barely scratch the surface of Gmail's powerful features, many of which include being able to find the email you want quickly and easily. There are other filtering and sorting tools, along with optional features that can save even more time and, occasionally, face.
Gmail is always being updated and now, by default, it will warn you if you've mentioned an attachment in the text but failed to actually attach a file.
Here are six Gmail tips to manage your email better. (Note that we're primarily dealing with the web interface here, but some tips also apply to the Android and iOS apps.)
See how to delete all unread Gmail emails here.
Gmail tips: 1. Learn to search your inbox properly.
Google is the king of search and this means Gmail has immense power when it comes to finding emails. But if you're only entering simple phrases into the search box, you're not even using half of the available power.
Here are some ways to use the search box more productively.
From:[email protected] - lists all emails from this email address
Is:unread - lists all the emails you've yet to open
Has:attachment - displays only emails with attachments
In:sent Cyprus - Shows all emails containing the word "cyprus" but only in your sent folder
You can even combine them so you could type:
From:[email protected] has:attachment
To find attachments from a certain person.
Gmail tips: 2. Use shortcuts
Do you use the mouse for everything? If so, you're wasting more time that you realise.
Gmail is full of shortcuts such as these:
When reading a conversation, press n and p to move between emails in that thread. You'll see the cursor moving up and down the left-hand side and you can press enter to open a message or expand messages which are shown as a collapsed view in the middle.
In the Compose window you can use the following:
Ctrl + Enter sends an email
Ctrl + Shift + C takes you to the cc field (even if it's hidden) so you can add recipients
You can enable extra shortcuts if these tickle your fancy by clicking the gear icon, going to settings and then going to the Keyboard shortcuts section.
Shortcuts include:
C - compose a new message
D - compose a message in a new tab
/ - puts the cursor in the search box
S - marks the message or conversation as special (the star icon)
+ - marks as important (if you use Priority inbox)
Gmail tips: 3. Use tabs
A feature added last year is multiple inbox tabs. By default these are Primary, Social, Promotions and Forums.
Gmail automatically filters emails into these tabs so you can ignore stuff that's less important and focus on what is. The automatic filtering is excellent and rarely gets it wrong, so emails from friends, family or important services arrive in your Primary inbox where you're most likely to see them.
Messages and alerts from social channels including Facebook and Twitter go into Social, while newsletters, offers and other promotional emails filter into Promotions.
A small + at the right-hand side lets you create more tabs, and you can customise all the tabs in the settings.
Gmail tips: 4. Quick action buttons
More recently, Google added quick action buttons, which you might not have even noticed. These let you do things without having to open the email and click a link. For example, you can check the details or progress of an online order by clicking the View Order or Track Package button.
Other actions include rating a restaurant you visited, or modifying a booking.
Gmail tips: 5. Arrange email your way
By default email is shown in chronological order, so the most recent is at the top of the list. You might prefer another order, though. If you click on the cog icon, then Settings, then click on the Inbox link, there's a drop-down menu with options for Important First, Unread First, Starred First or Priority Inbox. You can try any of these to see if you like it - if not, change it back to Default.
Gmail tips: 6. Get a preview pane
If you're an Outlook or Thunderbird fan, switching to the standard Gmail web interface can be unsettling. Fortunately there's a way to get a preview pane as you can in Gmail on an iPad alongside the list of emails.
To do it, click the cog icon, then Settings and click on Labs at the top. Search for Preview Pane, and click the 'Enabled' radio button, and then the Save Changes button.
Gmail will reload and you'll see a new icon at the top to the left of the cog icon. Click it to choose where your preview pane appears.
Gmail tips: 6. Get Whatsapp-style open and read notifications
Whatsapp is great for many reasons, one being that you know both when a message has been delivered and read. Email - even Gmail - feels a bit backward in that respect as the only notification is when you get get a new email. Thanks to Chrome Extensions you can fix this. MailTrack.io brings the 'double-tick' to your Gmail inbox, but obviously you'll need to access your email via the Chrome web browser for it to work. A Firefox extension is in the works, as is a mobile version.
To add it, go to the Chrome Web Store and search for MailTrack.

Although his songs were very popular, the system of royalties that are in place today didn't exist in the same form back then. He died penniless.

All about Wedding Monograms
March 2, 2009 By 2 Comments

Couples have used their unique monograms to grace their wedding cakes, programs, guestbooks, centerpieces, ring bearer pillow, wine or water bottles... even projected onto the dance floor. Some people enjoy using their monogram beyond the … [Read more...]

An idea whose time has come...again?
"Tax the rich, feed the poor/Till there are no poor no more"
-"I'd Love to Change The World"; Alvin Lee
I am not a political person, nor am I a fiscal expert. But sometimes someone suggests a course of action that just makes sense. Case in point: if you click on the football picture in the right-hand column of the blog, you will be taken to this site, a recent column by Dr. Michael I. Niman from the weekly newspaper Artvoice. Let it be noted that his "official" fields of expertise are in journalism and media studies. That said, it doesn't take a degree in economics to see that the present system of taxation in the US does not work.
Understand, I have no grievance with the rich, especially those who have worked to achieve their level of success. But the rich of previous generations understood that they needed to bear a much greater tax burden than those in the lower- and middle-classes. Indeed, their acceptance of the principle allowed a strong middle class to form in this country, as well as allowing vital protections for the lower classes.
Google "tax the rich", and you will find many articles, taking one side or the other on the issue. My finance-impaired brain has tried working through as many of them as I can, and I have yet to find an argument against taxing the rich compelling as those in favor of increasing tax rates for the wealthiest Americans. I am particularly in agreement with one of Niman's points: since many of the legal functions of the nation protect the assets of the wealthy, it is in their best interests to help support that system through increased taxation.
Taking one person's opinion as gospel is always a dangerous act. So go ahead and research the idea for yourself. I believe you will come to the same conclusion as I have; we need to tax the rich at a higher rate than currently assessed. The Tea Party came to its current level of influence through grassroots involvement from many people. If you believe that America needs to again "tax the rich", please get involved, if only to tell your friends to read this blog, or research the question for themselves. Sitting on the sidelines could prove fatal to the America most of us believe is our nation at its best.

- - Do jumping lessons cost more at your barn?
Do jumping lessons cost more at your barn? Hi! This is my very first post, so i apologize if i make any mistakes! And sorry it is so long! I didn't mean for that to happen! Feel free to not bother to read the rest and just answer the question in the title! I was just wondering if jumping lessons cost more at your barn? I ride at your average lesson/boarding stable, but since i was recently told i could progress into jumping lessons (AH!!! :) :) :) sorry I just had to share my excitement! I have been waiting for this my entire life!) I realized at my barn they cost more. Unfortunately the barn i ride at would probably not be my #1 choice, though I do like it! But I had to choose this barn because it has bus service and i can't always get a drive to my lessons because of my dad's work schedule. When i found out the jumping lessons i was so excited for would cost more i asked around and couldn't find another barn that charged more for jumping lessons! This barn is already very expensive and there is no way we can afford these higher prices! I'm not complaining! I will never let myself take the riding I can get for granted! But I was just wondering if there is a price difference between flat and jumping lessons at your barn! Thank you! :) |
I rode at a hunter jumper barn for years, and all lessons cost the same. Everywhere I've ridden and worked charges the same for a jumping lesson, I've never heard of a jumping lesson costing more! But then again I'm in a huge hunter/jumper area. Posted via Mobile Device |
Thanks for replying! It's too bad they cost more at my barn, i don't know why they do.... |
1 Attachment(s) The only price differences I've ever come across were based on the lesson length (longer lessons cost more) or if they were private, semi-private or group. Never had lessons that varied in price based on what you were doing - not even at a workshop. |

Hello everyone, Last night we had a little bit of a blackout. We had a hardware issue come up and had to move the entire site over to some temporary hardware until the issue is resolved. We were down for roughly six or seven hours. I apologize for any inconvenience this caused our readers and visitors to LXer. Scott |
azerthoth Oct 10, 2008 6:31 AM EDT |
And thanks for the fast email responses last night too Scott. Under 2 minute turn around when I realize I could not have been the only one filling your inbox. And yes, I did get that database rebuilt. |

I assumed it was the result of Scott tuning the servers for faster performance, then having an allergy attack and having a sneezing fit at a crucial moment, and between the excess moisture and jiggling the whole works went blooey. So glad to hear it was something else. ;) |
