DAMASCUS, Syria, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- Washington and other Western and Arab powers plan to give air and naval support to Syrian rebels fighting the Assad regime, a British newspaper reported.
High-level uniformed-services officers from the United States, Britain, France, Turkey, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates met privately in London a few weeks ago at the request of British Prime Minister David Cameron to discuss providing military training to the rebels and supporting them with air and naval power, The Independent reported Tuesday.
The countries concluded the 21-month-old civil war in Syria had reached a tipping point and countries supporting the opposition must help rebel fighters succeed in a final push to defeat President Bashar Assad, the newspaper said.
The Western nations are especially concerned about wanting to influence the political shape of the opposition the West hopes will replace Assad, the newspaper said.
In Washington, the Treasury Department announced Tuesday it sanctioned Maysar Ali Musa Abdallah al-Juburi and Anas Hasan Khattab, two senior members of the Syrian-based al-Nusrah Front for acting on behalf of al-Qaida in Iraq.
The State Department designated and sanctioned al-Nusrah Front Monday.
Also Tuesday, the Treasury Department sanctioned two armed militia groups operating under the control of the Syrian government, Jaysh al-Shabi and Shabiha, and two Shabiha commanders.
The sanctions block the designated entities from accessing property or interest on property in the United States or in possession or control of U.S. residents. The sanctions also prohibit U.S. residents from conducting business dealings with the sanctioned entity.
"The United States will continue to aggressively pursue those who undermine the desires of the Syrian people to realize a representative government that does not employ violence against its own people. We will target the pro-Assad militias just as we will the terrorists who falsely cloak themselves in the flag of the legitimate opposition," Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David Cohen said.
Jihadist groups among the rebels have gained power and influence due to weapons and money coming from some Persian Gulf states, The Independent said. This puts secular groups at a severe disadvantage, it said.
To counteract that, Western help will be directed at strengthening moderate groups, The Independent said.
Washington, London and Paris agreed at the meeting none of their countries would have "boots on the ground" to help the rebels.
Training camps could be set up in Turkey, the newspaper said.
Any such military action would also likely take place without U.N. authorization, The Independent said. Russia and China are unlikely to back such a resolution.
Washington had no immediate comment on the report. Nor did any of the other countries reported at the meeting.
French newspaper Le Figaro reported French military advisers already met with Syrian rebel groups across the border in Lebanon. Washington is believed to have stockpiled weapons retrieved in Libya for future supply to Syria, The Independent said.
Al-Nusra Front, which helped capture a military base near Aleppo Monday, is separate from the opposition Free Syrian Army, but many FSA leaders recognize its strength and order their forces to cooperate with it, British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported.
Twenty-nine opposition groups signed a petition in support of Jabhat al-Nusra in defiance of Washington. Mainstream opposition activists expressed anger at the State Department's announcement.
"It is terrible timing on the part of the United States," Mulham Jundi, who works with the opposition charity Watan Syria, told the Telegraph.
"By calling [al-Nusrah Front] terrorists, the U.S. is legitimizing the Syrian regime's bombardment of cities like Aleppo. Now the government can [legitimately] say it is attacking terrorists."
The Assad regime has insisted it is fighting foreign terrorists.

Well-traveled Joe Morrow settling in with BruinsBoston Herald
September 12. 2013 10:50PM
The bad news for Joe Morrow is that he was traded twice in less than five months. The good news? He wasn't exactly dealt for stiffs.
Morrow, the 23rd overall pick in the 2011 draft, was part of a package sent from Pittsburgh to Dallas for Brenden Morrow last February. Then he was part of the megadeal that brought him to the Bruins with Loui Eriksson, Reilly Smith and Matt Fraser for Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley.
"You can't look at it as a bad thing," said Morrow with a chuckle. "You're getting traded for some pretty high-end players who've been in the NHL for a long time and will do great things in the future. You have to look at it as a positive."
Morrow, however, has surely had enough moving around in the past few months. He'd like to settle in and go about the business of developing into an NHL defenseman. By all accounts, his first pro season last year that was split between Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Texas of the AHL was a big adjustment. Though he liked the way he finished the season, Morrow didn't dispute that he had some growing pains.
"I thought it would be a lot easier, personally, coming in and trying to adapt to the pro game style. But it was a shock and it took me a month or two to adjust," said the 6-foot-1, 204-pound Morrow, who missed rookie camp with an adductor strain but was ready to go for Thursday's first on-ice session.
"I've heard it's not that easy for defensemen, especially, to come in at a young age and be an All-Star right out of the gate. I had some struggles right out of the gate and I believe in the future it will definitely make me a better person. I feel more confident and stronger."
The biggest challenge in the transition?
"You're not playing against boys anymore in junior," said Morrow, who is likely headed to AHL Providence. "I felt I was one of the higher-end players in junior and I didn't have to worry about anyone pushing me around, but you trade from boys to men and there are definitely some big guys that are trying to hurt you out there. And there are guys with immense amounts of skill that will make you look like an idiot.
"You just have to be careful, take it one step at a time and simplify things. I was never a simple hockey player. I like to keep it interesting and entertaining. I definitely had to simplify my game to make it work."
"Interesting" and "entertaining" are usually not the first two things coach Claude Julien looks for in a young defenseman. But while Morrow, like any other player, would like to make the NHL as soon as he can, he's happy to be an organization that has time to develop him.
"Absolutely. The more time the better," he said. "You definitely want to make it to the NHL as quick as possible, but you don't want to be one of those guys that plays one season and they realize you're not suited for it because you didn't have enough time to develop."
Third line battle
The most interesting competition of the camp will be for the two open third line spots. It's a good bet that Chris Kelly will be on it somewhere, but the rest of the unit could be filled out by two among Carl Soderberg, Daniel Paille, Jordan Caron, Ryan Spooner, Smith or Fraser.
However the line is comprised, Julien expects both grit and goals from the unit.
"I think ideally, we saw the line that we liked when we won the Cup," Julien said. "We had Kelly, Peverley and (Michael) Ryder. Not only were they a dependable line, but they were able to give us some scoring. In a perfect world, you've got your top two lines that you'd like to see score on a regular basis. Your third line should be able to give you some secondary scoring and also some secondary grit that your fourth line gives you.
"We need more than two lines to score. Our fourth line has given us that, but we need our third line to give us that as well and at the same time, defensively and on the gritty side of the game, they've got to be able to give us some of that, too."

Preparing your trees
A hurricane can turn a shade tree from backyard friend to monster. Falling limbs and flying debris from trees often add to injuries and damage during severe storms. Things you can do to lessen the danger:
Inspect your trees every spring and fall. Look closely for heavy limbs that hang over homes, cross or rub together. Limbs that form a large V also could potentially pose a risk because one of the arms may weaken and snap in high winds.
•Consult a certified arborist trained to spot mistletoe and other parasitic growths that can weaken a tree. County extension offices usually maintain a list of arborists.
Trim canopies to open the center of a tree, improving wind flow through its branches. If a canopy is too dense, the branches and leaves can act like a sail on a ship, catching gales that can uproot or topple a tree.

Energy companies for which refining crude oil is a large part of their business are subject to variations in the crack spread: The difference between the cost per barrel of crude oil and the two major products of the refining, or cracking, process. The products are heating oil and gasoline, both of which have a certain amount of price volatility that is transferred, along with variations in the price of crude oil, to the crack spread.
The energy crack spread is defined in terms of futures on crude oil, heating oil and gasoline. There are 42 gallons of heating oil, and 84 gallons of gasoline, for every three barrels of crude oil. Each heating oil and gasoline futures contract equals 1,000 barrels, or 42,000 gallons.
For example, on July 16, 2012, December 2012 heating oil, gasoline or RBOB (Reformulated gasoline Blendstock for Oxygen Blending) and crude oil futures had closing prices of $2.7932, $2.9711 and $87.10, respectively. To compute the crack spread, the total price of three barrels of crude oil, $261.30, is subtracted from the sale of 42 gallons of heating oil and 84 gallons of gasoline, and the difference is divided by three. This is what is known as the "3-2-1 crack spread":
($117.31 + $249.57 – $261.30) / 3 = $35.19
Spread over time
Over the past five years, the crack spread has varied from a low near $5 to highs around $35. The current rising trend in the crack spread is shown on "Energy equities and the crack spread" (below). Although the difference between crude oil prices and a refiner's product prices would seem to be a possible predictor of a petroleum company's stock price, this chart does not confirm the theory. Note that two significant short-term price trends — up and down — are led by Valero and Tesoro stock prices. In any case, the equities are more volatile than the crack spread, with cumulative percentage changes varying over a 40-percentage-point range compared with the crack spread's 20-point range.

The OPA330 series of CMOS operational
amplifiers offer precision performance at a very competitive price. These devices are members of
the Zerø-Drift family of amplifiers which use a proprietary auto-calibration technique to
simultaneously provide low offset voltage (50-µV maximum) and near-zero drift over time and
temperature at only 35 µA (maximum) of quiescent current. The OPA330 family features rail-to-rail
input and output in addition to near-flat 1/f noise, making this amplifier ideal for many
applications and much easier to design into a system. These devices are optimized for low-voltage
operation as low as 1.8 V (±0.9 V) and up to 5.5 V (±2.75 V).
The OPA330 (single version) is available in the 5-pin DSBGA, 5-pin SC70, 5-pin SOT-23,
and 8-pin SOIC packages. The OPA2330 (dual version) is offered in 3 mm × 3 mm, 8-pin SON, 8-pin
VSSOP, and 8-pin SOIC packages. The OPA4330 is offered in the standard 14-pin SOIC and 14-pin TSSOP
packages, as well as in the space-saving 14-pin VQFN package. All versions are specified for
operation from –40°C to 125°C.

Endocrine Cancers
Care for Thyroid, Parathyroid, and Adrenal Cancers
Hormones, made by the body's endocrine system, control a wide range of functions -- metabolism, growth, and reproduction, to name a few. These processes, however, can become disrupted when cancer invades part of the endocrine system.
Some types of endocrine cancer are rare, and finding doctors who are familiar with these diseases can make a difference in your outcome. At the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center, our doctors treat hundreds of patients with endocrine cancers each year -- much more than most hospitals in the area.
A Leading Center in the Midwest
Our doctors understand what makes cancer treatment effective -- experience, teamwork and technology. We offer multidisciplinary treatment for many conditions including:
- Thyroid cancers, including four main types: papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic. Papillary and follicular are among the most treatable cancers.
- Parathyroid cancer, a rare condition which can affect the small glands in the neck that make a hormone that helps the body use calcium.
- Adrenal or adrenocortical cancers, which are rare diseases that affect the outside of the adrenal glands that make adrenaline and other hormones.
- Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL), a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal growth of blood vessels and benign or cancerous tumor development in various organs, including the adrenal glands, brain and pancreas. UChicago Medicine is home to the only designated comprehensive VHL Clinical Care Center in Illinois.
Our Endocrine Genetics Clinic offers risk assessments to patients with suspected inherited endocrine tumor syndromes. Patients meet with a certified genetic counselor to review family medical history and to discuss options for genetic testing. If a tumor or risk for disease is found, University of Chicago Medicine endocrine surgeons provide recommendations for disease management.
Advanced Medical, Surgical Expertise
Treatment for many endocrine cancers is unlike care for many other cancers, which is directed by oncologists. Because of the nature of endocrine cancer, therapy is usually led by medical endocrinologists and endocrine surgeons. At the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center, a team of expert doctors collaborates on individualized treatment plans for patients. This includes targeting the cancer as well as normalizing hormone levels. Patients benefit from our top-notch radiologists and cytopathologists, who can help diagnose endocrine cancers.
Our team includes nationally recognized endocrine cancer experts who serve in leadership roles in prestigious organizations such as the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons and the American Thyroid Association.
Thyroid Cancer: The Most Common Endocrine Cancer
Our doctors treat several hundred thyroid cancer cases each year. At the time of the visit, our medical endocrinologists can conduct tests using our in-office ultrasound and perform needed fine-needle aspirations. After reviewing all the data, the team of endocrinologists and endocrine surgeons makes recommendations regarding the need for surgery.
Surgery for thyroid nodules, or tumors, may include removing only part or all of the thyroid. Some types of thyroid cancer require radioactive iodine after the surgery. During this treatment, which is administered by an endocrinologist, the patient drinks a liquid that contains a type of radiation, called iodine-131, that specifically targets the thyroid. This helps destroy any remaining thyroid cancer cells. For other types of thyroid cancer, external-beam radiation therapy may be used. Follow-up includes blood work as well as imaging tests. Most people also need to take thyroid hormone replacement following surgery.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Our surgeons are among the most experienced in the Midwest and the nation. They regularly see the most difficult-to-treat cases. In addition, the University of Chicago medical center is the only hospital in the city with three endocrine surgeons on staff. They are highly skilled at performing various operations on the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. In particular, they can offer advanced minimally invasive procedures that can be performed through small incisions. As a result, patients experience less scarring and pain, and a quicker recovery.
For instance, surgeons can remove thyroid cancer through very small incisions in the neck to achieve the best cosmetic effect. Doctors can perform video-assisted thyroid surgery for select patients. This uses small cameras and specially designed equipment. Minimally invasive surgery is also available for some parathyroid tumors. In addition, many adrenal tumors can be removed in a minimally invasive procedure performed using a laparoscope, a small camera attached to a thin tube, and long surgical instruments.
Research into Hormone-Related Cancers
Our medical endocrinologists are world-renown for their clinical and research experience with endocrine cancers. Scientists at the University of Chicago Medical Center have studied how thyroid hormones affect physical and mental health. They have also examined thyroid hormones at the molecular level, with funding from the National Institutes of Health.
Endocrine surgeons at the University of Chicago are also establishing a research database to follow patients during and after treatment. The results of this will add to doctors' knowledge of treating these cancers now and in the future.

Nielsen ratings report season lows for Thursday
Whether it was the upcoming religious holidays, nice spring weather, school vacations or just plain boredom with the choices, many television viewers took a siesta from their sets last Thursday.
CBS' comedy "The Big Bang Theory" had its smallest audience of the season for a new episode, the Nielsen Co. said. ABC's "Missing" had a series low. All the originals on NBC's lineup -- "Community," "30 Rock," "Up All Night" and "Awake" -- had season lows.
The NBC showing is particularly eye-opening, especially considering the network's former "must-see TV" status on Thursday nights.
Only "Community" reached 3 million viewers. The comedies "30 Rock" had 2.79 million, "Up All Night" had 2.58 million and "The Office" had 2.52 million for a repeat episode. The hourlong drama "Awake" had 2.56 million viewers, Nielsen said.
On the same first Thursday in April 10 years ago, NBC reached 28.5 million viewers for "ER" and 22.6 million for "Friends."
Maybe half of that drop could be attributed to the same factors that have hurt broadcast TV in general, such as DVR usage, video games and more aggressive competition from cable. But not all of it.
"My guess is it just comes down to the shows," said Robert Seidman, a ratings guru for the website TV By the Numbers.
Elsewhere during the week, NBC had been seeing some positive momentum with "The Voice," but that has faded compared with old favorites "American Idol" and "Dancing With the Stars."
Kentucky's victory over Kansas in the men's NCAA basketball championship was the week's most popular program, and the only one to exceed 20 million viewers, Nielsen said.
That helped CBS to an easy victory with an average of 10.3 million viewers in prime time (6.4 rating, 11 share). ABC had 7.7 million (5.0, 9), Fox had 6.6 million (4.0, 7), NBC had 5 million (3.2, 5), the CW had 990,000 and ION Television 960,000 (both 0.7, 1).
Among the Spanish-language networks, Univision led with a 3.7 million viewer average (1.9, 3), Telemundo had 1.3 million (0.7, 1), Telefutura had 690,000 (0.4, 1), Estrella 200,000 and Azteca 150,000 (both 0.1, 0).
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 7.9 million viewers (5.4, 11). ABC's "World News" was second with 6.8 million (4.7, 10) and the "CBS Evening News" had 5.8 million viewers (4.0, 8).
A ratings point represents 1,147,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 114.7 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate from April through June, an improvement from the first three months of the year. But economists are worried that growth may be slowing.
The Commerce Department said this morning that its final look at economic growth in the spring was unchanged from a prior estimate made last month. However, the components of growth were altered slightly.
Businesses added a bit less to their stockpiles and exports did not grow as fast as previously thought. These downward revisions were balanced by slightly stronger spending by state and local governments.
Many analysts believe growth is slowing to a sluggish rate at or below 2 percent in the current quarter. Economists had initially hoped growth would improve in the second half of the year.

FAA Admits That It's Going To Rethink Whether You Can Use Kindles & Tablets On Takeoff & Landing
from the about-time dept
Abby Lunardini, vice president of corporate communications at Virgin America, explained that the current guidelines require that an airline must test each version of a single device before it can be approved by the F.A.A. For example, if the airline wanted to get approval for the iPad, it would have to test the first iPad, iPad 2 and the new iPad, each on a separate flight, with no passengers on the plane.But, hopefully, a better, more efficient process can be found, and people will actually be able to use these devices on airplanes that aren't just over 10,000 feet...
It would have to do the same for every version of the Kindle. It would have to do it for every different model of plane in its fleet. And American, JetBlue, United, Air Wisconsin, etc., would have to do the same thing. (No wonder the F.A.A. is keeping smartphones off the table since there are easily several hundred different models on the market.)
Ms. Lunardini added that Virgin America would like to perform these tests, but the current guidelines make it "prohibitively expensive, especially for an airline with a relatively small fleet that is always in the air on commercial flights like ours."

NEW YORK - There are specific patterns in corporate media coverage of political debates: Progressive ideas are generally marginalized. "Compromise" between the major parties is encouraged. Democrats should "move to the center," which in practical terms actually means moving to the right.
All of these tendencies have driven the discussion over the federal debt and the debt ceiling. In the end, the political process has produced an agreement that can be cheered by pundits and analysts for adhering to media's built-in bias for center-right economics and bogus ideas about centrism and political compromise.
Of the criticisms one can make of the media's coverage of this discussion--and there are plenty--here are five areas where media mangled the debt discussion.
Why Is the Debt Ceiling Being Raised?
While some coverage correctly pointed out that raising the debt ceiling has always been a routine political maneuver, Republican rhetoric and right-wing commentary portrayed the current round as a consequence of Barack Obama's "big government" spending philosophy.
What was rarely explained is the fact that raising the debt ceiling is a consequence of previous budget decisions made by Congress (New York Times, 7/28/11)--like a massive tax cut tilted towards the wealthy, two major wars and, most of all, the effects of a major recession.
As economist Dean Baker (Al Jazeera English, 7/27/11) pointed out, the debt "crisis" has very little to do with out-of-control spending:
'Balance' Bias
Many writers have noted the partisan negotiations were presented through a distorted "both sides must compromise" lens. As economist Paul Krugman wrote (New York Times blog, 6/26/11):
The failure to secure a deal was thus a failure of both sides to work together. In a subsequent column (7/29/11), Krugman pointed to an Associated Press headline (7/12/11): "Obama, Republicans Trapped by Inflexible Rhetoric."
Time magazine (7/14/11; FAIR Blog, 7/15/11) responded to the breakdown in talks between Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner with a pox-on-both-houses attack on each party's failure to compromise:
On NBC Nightly News (7/19/11; FAIR Blog, 7/21/11), Chuck Todd declared that "any sort of deal is putting pressure on the bases of both parties." His evidence? A new poll that found support for raising taxes--anathema to Republicans--while a majority opposed cuts to Social Security and Medicare. The findings were inexplicably summarized by Todd as "a mixed political bag for both parties."
The media's aversion to pointing out when one side is more prone to obstruction or exaggeration than the other makes it difficult for voters to understand what is happening--and does little to dissuade lawmakers from engaging in similar behavior in the future.
Debate Way Off to the Right
Often lost amidst all the talk about rancor and compromise is the fact that the entire debate between party leaders and the White House has shifted well to the right. As Jamelle Bouie summed it up at the American Prospect's blog (Tapped, 7/27/11):
I wrote at the time that this was an "extraordinarily radical" proposal that would cost thousands of jobs and deprive millions of needed benefits while preserving huge tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. Now, after nearly three months of Republican intransigence, that radical proposal is the template for the Democratic offer on the debt limit.
Given this obvious fact, media chatter about "compromise" seems downright absurd (Political Animal, 8/1/11).
The New York Times July 31 headline "In Debt Limit Showdown, Obama Edges to the Right" accurately captured this political dynamic, which had been on display for weeks. The article nonetheless asserted that Mr. Obama, seeking to appeal to the broad swath of independent voters, has adopted the Republicans' language and in some cases their policies, while signaling a willingness to break with liberals on some issues.
The assumption, then, is that "independents" really just want Republican budget ideas. There is no evidence that this is the case.
Finding the 'Center'
There is a long-established pattern of corporate media advising Democrats to move to the "middle," which in practice means shifting to the right. This has been a constant presence throughout this debate. With a very Republican-friendly solution perhaps at hand, some accounts are portraying this as a deft move to the middle by Obama. The fact that liberals are opposed to Obama's proposals only serves to demonstrate that he is on the right track. The Washington Post reported (8/1/11):
But for a White House eager to improve its standing with centrist independents who have been fleeing Obama, even a losing deal can be a winning strategy.
The Post's Chris Cilizza (8/1/11) declared Obama a "winner" based on the same logic:
Earlier Obama offers that sought cuts in Medicare and Social Security were portrayed similarly. A July 25 Washington Post story "Obama 'Big Deal' on Debt a Gamble to Win the Center" (FAIR Blog, 7/25/11) discussed the White House offer of "trillions of dollars in cuts, including to Medicare and Social Security" in exchange for small tax increases.
Most polling on budget options shows little enthusiasm for cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and more support for an approach that includes tax increases and other options for increasing revenue (FAIR Blog, 1/21/11). And polls also show more concern over jobs than deficit reduction (FAIR Blog, 9/17/10).
The White House and Democratic leaders are cheered for abandoning those goals, while the press explains that this is what "centrists" and "independents" really want.
Were There Budget Alternatives?
If this debate was really about dealing with the nation's long-term debt/deficit issues, then the press would seriously examine a range of ideas for addressing these problems. But the most serious progressive alternative, the People's Budget, was never given significant attention in the corporate media--in contrast to Republican Rep. Paul Ryan's budget plan, which, contrary to the rhetoric, failed to meaningfully reduce the deficit at all (Extra!, 6/11).
The corporate media's abject failure to seriously examine a budget proposal that is more in line with majority public opinion suggests that serious dysfunction is not limited to Beltway political leaders.

4 girls escape Boko Haram, 219 still missing — official
May 28. 2014 9:46PM
MAIDUGURI (Reuters) — Four more girls kidnapped by Boko Haram militants last month have escaped their captors, the education commissioner for Nigeria's Borno state said on Wednesday, leaving 219 still missing.
The girls were taking exams at a secondary school in the remote northeastern village of Chibok on April 14 when the Islamist gunmen surrounded it, loaded 276 of them onto trucks and carted them off, according to official figures.
Fifty-three escaped shortly afterwards, say authorities in Borno state, which lies at the epicenter of the insurgency.
Education commissioner Musa Inuwa declined to give further details of the escape of the four.
The girls' abduction shone an international spotlight on the the militants, whose violent struggle for an Islamic state in northern Nigeria has killed thousands and turned them into the biggest threat to security in Africa's top oil-producing state.
From being a religious movement opposed to Western culture — Boko Haram means "Western education is a sin" in the northern Hausa language — the sect has emerged as a well-armed insurrection.

I feel ya, I've been wishing for a clear scientific version of one of these since I saw them in 2012. I always thought this style would benefit from more streamlined simple internals. I think all of the intricate detailing on the perc clashes with the designs on the outside of mason jars. Plus the part about me not being able to afford headiness.
Clear scientific version of what? A diffusion pump? BxW makes those too. (Edit... oh you meant a sci perc in a mason jar. Gotcha. See below)
Also im going to disagree with you on part of that. I love the juxtaposition of the awesome heady handblown badassness and the simplicity of the mason jar.
Of course thats all very subjective.
Mmmmm... sweet and sour.
See, I go the opposite route. I'd love it if they made the perc with little olde-timey embellishments so it really matched the mason jar. Fruits and sheaves of wheat and shit stamped into clear glass. Even a logo would look cool if they did it in that Ball cursive font.
Nice video, chill music, that thing looks heavy though!
So does a diffusion pump hit like a recycler? Lot's of airflow but nice and cool?
I wasnt sure so I looked it up. This cleared things up for me. Its also cooler than shit.
Click to play YouTube Video
Click to play YouTube Video
So my new question is... other than a vortex how is this different from a "recycler"? Is this considered a type of recycler?
OT: Im sort of into this a lot more than the other types (?) of recyclers/incyclers for whatever reason.
See, I was thinking the opposite. I wanted to see this same perc with a custom hand blown mason jar!
Wow, I hadn't seen this before. Heard of it, didn't know what it was, forgot about it.
Looks very cool!
I wish I understood the water flow dynamics of these things better. Or just water flow dynamics period.
Fuck it, I WISH I WAS A WATERFLOW ENGINEER (whatever that may be called).
I would concentrate on concentrate... pieces.
That is different for sure.. Nice find man!! Really cool.. That 2nd video really clears that up what's going on w/ that perc.. I love how that first video looks like some alien specimen in a jar..
Haha @Caligula we were on same page the other day.. I had just been looking at a Steve Bates x Worm x KGB collab diffusion tube and those mason jar rigs popped up too!! Shit is cool as hell. It is a type of recycler, just not one with a vortex.. I have a perfectly awesome recycler that functions awesome and has great flavor saving powers, but no vortex.. The diffusion pumps are cool bubblers, but I may go in the route of the tube since it's a little more unique.. Plus I Love KGB's donut stuff!
That mason jar pussy diffuser was the first I checked out and actually led me to do further research on them the other day as well!
Not only is this one sweet little piece that would make an excellent upgrade to every whip setup, you also get a lifetime warrenty. Yes. They are mad.
From the site:
Lifetime Warranty - The wood base and metal stand are covered for life. For all customers who purchase the Orbiter in 2014, the glass is covered for life.
Man, I'm such a sucker for a lifetime warranty.. Especially from a company that doesn't seem to be going any where any time soon, like MF... I wonder if you can easily remove the glass for cleaning? I would hope so.
EDIT: FWIW, Using the wood part of the WPW for reference, I'm estimating the glass to be ~3.5" tall, from the top of the joint to the bottom of the glass.
You just slide the little ring on the metal bracket down and remove the glass, Pretty frickin' nice.
This was the review/explanation of the diffusion pump when it first came out, via http://dabbersdaily.wordpress.com/
I'm not sure if that removable diffusion pump perc has the same glass ball valve system as the all-together diffusion pump bubblers http://aqualabtechnologies.com/scientific-glass/bates-x-worm-glass.html
And only $400 for an entry level piece. Argh.
Lol that's funny I'd been drooling over this piece for N8's galaxy work:
But I never knew what it actually was until now! Looks like it hits great:
Click to play YouTube Video
This is even more beautiful than the other galaxy work (i think its in the recycler thread). THAT UFO
Holy... don't even wanna know the price.
Is that the $2000 one?
Yup... it's about 4x my max price range and still it's hard for me to not impulse buy!
I'd like to see a four-hole or two-tree simple job inside. The heady perc is a bit much, but beauty and the eye of the beholder...
Imagine how easy that jar would be to clean, or replace!
Does anyone know the theory of why there's so much water in that heady piece?
I'm pretty sure at first they designed the mason jar diffusion pumps to look like pickled vegetables, then they went crazy heady with them
The water level has to be high in them but I usually see the clear ones filled to just below the outlet. They cool the vapor with minimal contact with water or diffusion. The water surrounding the down tube cools the vapor without it ever coming in contact with water, then the check valve lets small amounts of water to be pulled up with the vapor. In theory (I have not had the chance to rip one personally) it should provide the maximum amount of cooling with minimal loss of flavor.
Okay that MJ leaf jar is pretty badass.
I went a little crazy...
May the bankers have mercy on my soul!
Pics or it didnt happen!
Separate names with a comma.

To help college football fans get through the dog days of summer before conference media days launch the preseason festivities in mid-July, The Post and Courier is counting down the 12 most important South Carolina Gamecocks and 12 most important Clemson Tigers for 2013. The daily series continues today with No. 10 for each team and will conclude with the No. 1 players on July 7.
SOUTH CAROLINA's No. 10
Before last season, nobody really knew much about Dylan Thompson. He was a lightly recruited, though not unimpressive looking player. Furman was the only other school that offered him a football scholarship. In his first two seasons at USC, the 6-3, 212-pound Thompson redshirted and then threw two passes while playing in four games in 2011.
Thrust into duty in last year's opener at Vanderbilt, after Connor Shaw hurt his shoulder, Thompson looked lost. He threw three passes and completed none. The next week, Shaw was sidelined and Thompson carved up East Carolina's porous defense with 330 passing yards. The following week, he diced another mediocre defense when he played the second half of a 49-6 win over Alabama-Birmingham.
He played in six of the next eight games, almost all in mop-up situations, and attempted 26 total passes. But in the regular season finale at Clemson, Thompson had to play all night because of Shaw's foot injury. Thompson responded by announcing himself as a legitimate player. He completed 23 of 41 passes for 310 yards. In the Outback Bowl against Michigan, he came off the bench and threw the game-winning 32-yard touchdown pass with 11 seconds remaining.
So what now?
Shaw is a senior and missed spring practices while recovering from foot surgery. Coach Steve Spurrier has told his quarterbacks that both should expect to play meaningful snaps in 2013. Whether that will actually happen remains to be seen.
This August's practices are enormous for Thompson. His performance in them – and whether Shaw can stay healthy for a full season – will determine his importance to the Gamecocks this fall. Shaw remains the No. 1 quarterback, but Thompson has already shown the coaches that he can provide value in big spots, if he is needed. While there are no guarantees for what that means about his role this season, Thompson is certainly in a more auspicious situation than he was last summer.
Previously: No. 12 free safety T.J. Gurley; No. 11 WR Damiere Byrd
COMING SATURDAY: No. 9 offensive tackle Brandon Shell
Here's a few things you ought to know about the relationship between Clemson and the tight end. A tight end has ranked among the team's top three receiving leaders each of the past four years. No other ACC team, incumbent or incoming, can say that for just the past two years. With Tajh Boyd at quarterback, Clemson tight ends hauled in 21 touchdowns in 2011-12; the next-nearest ACC group is Syracuse's 10 scores over the past two years combined, which doesn't equal the Tigers' total of 11 last fall.
So if you gave offensive coordinator Chad Morris the option of playing two-hand touch in the spring game and therefore not losing presumed starter Sam Cooper for the year to a torn ACL, he snatches the opportunity without blinking. Somebody's got to be the next stud in line behind Michael Palmer, Dwayne Allen and Brandon Ford . Allen and Ford recorded eight TDs a piece in 2011 and 2012, respectively. The options are Porter-Gaud grad Stanton Seckinger, who's really built more like a receiver, redshirt freshman Jay Jay McCullough, and freshman Jordan Leggett. Don't underestimate the value of getting a head start on absorbing the complex playbook of Morris – who, by the way, was Leggett's primary recruiter. He's already got the proper body to pound in the ACC, so if he fine-tunes his route-running, look for Boyd to look for Leggett often in third-down and red-zone packages.
Previously: No. 12 defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, No. 11 linebacker Stephone Anthony
COMING SATURDAY: No. 9 offensive tackle Gifford Timothy

'In accepting the plea agreement, Judge Patricia Summe granted prosecutors' recommendation to sentence Jones to five years of diversion but no jail time, and she won't have to register as a sex offender. The diversion requires Jones to report to a probation officer and undergo drug tests.
Such a double standard, you know damn well if it was a 27 year old male teacher that had sex with a 17 year old female student, the guy would have to register as a sex offender and spend time in jail. These high school kids are stupid beyond belief, if you get to bang an ex-NFL cheerleader that is now your teacher, you don't say a word to anybody! Why ruin a good thing? Teenagers have to brag about it though and let everybody know, if I would of had this privilege in high school nobody would have ever known, and if anybody ever questioned me about it I would deny everything. If a teacher lets you have a piece of her pie thus risking her reputation/career on you by doing so, you don't screw her over, stupid *** teenagers.

So, after Instagram and Flipboard, Instapaper is now available as an Android application ($2,99). It lacks several key features of the iOS version, like fullscreen reading and pagination, and sadly, while it does have some Holo elements, it still looks very non-native (miles better than that horrid copy/paste job Instagram did, though). It's yet another prime iOS exclusive moving to Android, but I'm honestly wondering how many people care at this point, considering there've been enough excellent alternatives on Android for a while now. Let's just say that I don't think sales will make Marco Arment change his mind about there not being any serious money in Android application sales, but whether or not that would be Android's fault in this particular case, I don't know.

About Artist Magnolia Moonlight:
Christina Flowers is the award winning Graphic Designer who created Magnolia Moonlight. A love of color, bold forms and storytelling through art are the defining characteristics of her work.
I feel there is strength and beauty in simplicity. This piece is created by one continuous brushstroke that pulls your eye through the artwork. The simple geometric shapes lend themselves to an interpretation unique to every viewer. This allows each person to claim the artwork as their own and I feel there is a certain magic in that. This is one of three pieces of the same bold color-way designed to be displayed together or alone.

text: So I guess I can officially be added to the 1313 Fett build people, lol. Here are some of the Concept art photos that have been released on this version of Boba. I have on order a few parts already, most should be here around chistmas, CC Dentless Boba Fett helmet - Animefan CC Knees- Cruzer- Flak vest - Batninja Flightsuit-BM Jetpack- FettSeven The remaining parts, gauntlets, leather vest parts, belts/holsters, blasters etc... are all being made by me. I was originally planning on making everything but the helmet myself but the first Con I want to get this all done for is at the end of March, so I needed to take some of the load off my plate, lol. I've already done a lot of work on the DL44 blaster. It was built on a Denix C96. Flash hider is a 2nd from DEC's run that I cold blued. Bull barrel was machined on the lathe by me. Rear sight was removed for the wire. The rest of the parts are all extras from a Revell visible V8 that I had lying around. Whole thing was then painted a semi gloss black and weathered with Floquil. I'm pretty happy with how its come out, though I still want to add the grill on the front. Just gotta figure out the best way to do it. This sucka already weighs around 3lbs lol.

WASHINGTON, March 30 (UPI) -- The threat of dengue fever and the prevalence of parasitic infections are a reality for tens of thousands in the United States, an expert says.
Dr. Peter Hotez of the George Washington University, who is president of the Sabin Vaccine Institute, says the infections that plague the poor threaten the poorest people living in the Gulf Coast states and in Washington.
In an editorial published in the journal PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, Hotez says post-hurricane Katrina conditions in the Gulf coast states coupled with the BP oil disaster and extreme levels of poverty make some areas vulnerable to neglected infections of poverty.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever, Chagas disease and cutaneous leishmaniasis, as well as non-vector borne neglected infections like trichomoniasis and toxocariasis, are affecting the people living in this region, Hotez says. Washington is one of the worst U.S. cities in terms of life expectancy and health index -- meaning its residents suffer from the lowest incomes, lowest educational attainment and shortest life expectancy, Hotez says.
Despite the fact that these conditions are triggers for neglected infections, no surveillance data currently exist to reflect their prevalence, the editorial says.
"Because these infections are serious problems that perpetuate poverty, I am extremely concerned about the welfare of the people in these regions," Hotez says in a statement. "A national plan to help these people is critical."

Does anyone remember Spring 2003?
In double bombshell accusations, the New York State Comptroller and New York City Controller issued separate reports in April showing that the MTA kept two sets of books and hid $500 million over several years in order to justify the 50-cent city bus and subway fare increase.
Will the MTA get away with this type of injustice again?
I sure hope not.
Tolls on east river bridges, Great idea! Also raise price of Metro North, and the LIRR. Most folks who utilize these trains are commuters who live in places that don't have to pay NYC taxes!
Maybe these changes will put off the fare hike for a year or so...
I'll take it.

Unefoisdansmavie Establishes New Track Record at Hoosier Park
For the second consecutive week, the track record for older trotting mares has been re-established in the $17,500 Fillies and Mares Preferred trot at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino.
Unefoisdansmavie, with Ricky Macomber Jr. at the lines, re-established the track record for older trotting mares with a 1:53.2 performance in the featured event of the evening on Thursday, June 12 at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino. Staging a big rally late in the lane, Unefoisdansmavie was able to track down Lady Blitz and Verlin Yoder, who established a new track record with a 1:54 score last week. The 1:53.4 victory marks a seasonal best record for the seven-year-old mare and the second track record that has been lowered over Hoosier Park's seven-eighths mile oval in 2014.
Leaving from post four in the abbreviated field of seven, Unefoisdansmavie left alertly to get position from post four and reached the front through an opening panel in :27.3. Her lead would be short lived as Lady Blitz used her customary front-running tactics and took over at the second station in :56.2. Unefoisdansmavie was content to sit in the pocket while Easter Teka and Peter Wrenn followed intently in third.
Lady Blitz, looking strong on the front, continued to call the shots around the three-quarter clocking in 1:25.2 but Walked Into Heaven and Trace Tetrick began to apply pressure to their outside. As the field turned for home, Macomber gave Unefoisdansmavie the green light from the pocket and she used a :27.4 final panel to finish a length in front of the field. Lady Blitz finished a game second while Easter Teka trotted evenly for third. As the publics' second choice, Unefoisdansmavie returned $4.80 at the windows to her backers.
Trained by Hoosier Park's leading conditioner, Ron Burke, Unefoisdansmavie notched her 28th win from 93 lifetime outings. Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC and Jack Piatt III own the 6-year-old daughter of Revenue S-Peace To The World who now boasts $433,942 in career earnings.
Live racing at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino continues on Friday, June 12 with a 14-race card highlighted by the $22,000 Fillies and Mares Invitational Pace. With a daily post time of 5:15 p.m., the live racing schedule will follow a Tuesday through Saturday schedule and be conducted through November 15.

Pushing his party to do some "soul searching," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor on Monday night outlined a softer Republican message on immigration, education and government support for vulnerable Americans.
The Virginia Republican said the GOP needs to work harder to connect with "an increasingly diverse country."
"Our party needs to do a better job at getting to know different constituencies," Cantor said while speaking at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. "I am much about trying to force that to happen."
Cantor's remarks were part of an ongoing effort to improve the GOP's image after painful election losses last November. National Republican leaders next week will release a plan — known as the "Growth and Opportunity Project" — designed to broaden the Republican Party's appeal among minorities and lower-income Americans.
Cantor said that millions of Americans need help because they're suffering from a lack of education, skills, resources or time.
"One of my priorities this Congress will be to move heaven and earth to fix our education system for the most vulnerable," he said, endorsing plans for a new funding formula now being used in San Francisco public schools.
On immigration, Cantor stopped short of endorsing a comprehensive package, but said children of illegal immigrants should have a pathway to citizenship.
"I say if we're unable to get a comprehensive bill done first, at least we can start with the kids," he said.
The House Republican leader also called for prioritizing federal investment in medical research. Specifically, he called for shifting federal funding away from "less immediate" needs and toward finding cures for diseases.
The policy prescriptions are consistent with his message in recent public appearances.
Cantor only briefly mentioned Congress' recent inability to avert deep federal spending cuts — known in Washington-speak as "the sequester." They included sweeping reductions to some of the same policy priorities in Cantor's speech — education and scientific research, in particular.
Facing protesters who challenged him to support federal funding for a syringe exchange program, Cantor said the recent spending cuts require certain "tradeoffs."
"Unfortunately, that sequester takes a very blunt instrument and says across-the-board cuts to all of government," he said. "It eliminates or reduces, if you will, good programs the same way that it reduces bad. So I support research dollars. I support investment in the kinds of programs you're talking about. But yes, there are tradeoffs."

Russia left its main interest rates unchanged for an eighth month, brushing off government calls for lower borrowing costs and repeating an incremental cut to seldom used rates after inflation accelerated last month.
Bank Rossii kept the refinancing rate at 8.25%, half a point above the record low, the Moscow-based regulator said in a statement on its website today. The move was forecast by 18 of 24 economists in a Bloomberg survey, with six predicting a quarter-point cut. The main lending and deposit rates were also kept unchanged.
Outgoing Bank Rossii Chairman Sergey Ignatiev has limited room for policy easing with inflation more than a percentage point above target, putting him at odds with an international push for monetary stimulus this month. As officials from Australia to Israel lower borrowing costs to recharge growth, his successor, President Vladimir Putin's economic aide Elvira Nabiullina, is helping prepare a plan to revive an economy that's expanding at the weakest pace since a 2009 contraction.
"The central bank is remaining very cautious," Maxim Oreshkin, chief economist for Russia at VTB Capital in Moscow, said by phone. "Inflation clearly remains the central bank's top priority."
The ruble paired losses against the dollar following the announcement and was 0.5% weaker at 31.521 as of 5:20 p.m. in Moscow. The 50-stock Micex Index added to losses and was 1.3% lower at 1,287.28, heading for the lowest close since May 2.
Tight Policy
Some government members, including Economy Minister Andrei Belousov, have criticized Russia's restrictive monetary policy, arguing that the economy may slide into a recession later this year without stimulus. Putin called the regulator's stance "largely justified" last month in a televised show where he took questions from the public, saying the central bank needed to rein in inflation.
Gross domestic product grew 2.1% in the fourth quarter from a year earlier, the slowest pace since a 2009 contraction. The Economy Ministry last month lowered its forecast for gross domestic product to expand this year by 2.4%, down from a projected 3.7% increase in an outlook published in September.
Policy makers held their main lending rates, the overnight and one-week auction-based repurchase rates, at 5.50%, while the overnight deposit rate was kept at 4.50%. Costs on some longer-term loans, including those backed by gold and non-marketable assets, were reduced by a quarter-point for a second month.

A man suspected in the Sept. 1 double slaying of a local tour guide and an aspiring lawyer was found shot to death March 16 at a Savannah nightclub and police are searching for his accomplice in the homicides.
Savannah-Chatham police found 32-year-old Sidney Grant dead in front of Frozen Paradise, in the 600 block of Indian Road, about 2 a.m. March 16 while responding to a shooting call.
Police spokesman Julian Miller on Wednesday confirmed Grant was a suspect police had been searching for in the Labor Day weekend slayings of 21-year-old tour guide Emily Pickels and 30-year-old Michael Biancosino, who worked for his brother's law firm and planned to attend law school.
Biancosino and Pickels were found shot to death inside his crashed car near the intersection of Henry Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard about 3:45 a.m. Sept. 1.
Police have said the victims were sitting in the car just yards away from Pickels' Henry Street apartment when the shooting began.
Police had questioned Grant - who in March 2011 a jury acquitted of murder and other charges in the October 2010 shooting death of Vandell Bivens at Frazier Homes - after they'd indicated in late October he was a person of interest in the Sept. 1 slayings and asked the public's help in finding him. He was not charged at the time.
Two other suspects were charged Oct. 3 with crimes Miller described at the time as related to Pickels' and Biancosino's deaths, but they were not charged.
Walter Moon, 32, faces drug and weapons charges related to the Sept. 1 case. He is currently incarcerated at Calhoun State Prison and awaiting trail on those charges, according to Georgia Corrections and Chatham County Courts records.
Kiawana Williams, 32, was charged with making false statements to investigators and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to about three months in prison and five years probation, court records show.
On Wednesday, Miller said homicide detectives were renewing their request for the public to come forward with information about Pickels' and Biancosino's deaths.
A total of $13,225 in reward money is available to tipsters who provide information about the case thanks to contributions made by friends and family members of the victims.
Violent Crimes Unit detectives are continuing to investigate. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637). In the body type, include "CStop2020" plus the tip. Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward. A confidential tip line that allows callers to speak directly to investigators but does not offer anonymity or reward money also is available at 912-525-3124.

Our wilderness is under an unprecedented attack from Trump and anti-conservationists in Congress. Help us fight back.
President Trump and Congress are working together to roll back environmental protections and dismantle smart energy policies that benefit all Americans so that oil, gas and coal executives can continue to profit.
The BLM's new wind and solar leasing rule will guide clean energy projects to low-conflict, pre-screened areas to increase renewable energy on public lands, helping reduce greenhouse gases and the impacts of climate change.
Known as the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan, the Obama administration's proposal will protect 4.2 million acres of wild and vulnerable public land while setting aside specific areas for clean energy development.
Climate change is devastating wild lands and the wildlife that thrives inside them, according to findings of a government study.
The Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP) was initiated to find appropriate places for development—and just as important—those that are not.
Three years ago, the Bureau of Land Management designated low-conflict areas for solar energy development on public lands in the Southwest through its Western Solar Plan.
The pope is expected to focus on climate during his first papal visit to the United States. On Sept. 24, Pope Francis will be the first pope ever to address the U.S. Congress.
Hundreds of people interested in the future of clean energy gathered in Las Vegas recently to join discussions and hear thoughts from President Obama as part the 8th annual Clean Energy Summit hosted by Senator
The president has been on a roll with taking action on climate change by recently finalizing the Clean Power Plan
There is no greater threat to the long term health of our wild lands than climate change and today's commitment by President Obama will help ensure that polluting sources of energy are not threatening our health or our lands.
Show the Trump administration Americans don't support plans to destroy this epic wildland.

A myriad of online educational tools are available for assessment, collaboration, communication, innovative presentations, and more. Examples of these tools include video repositories, social media, portfolio and publisher tools that are often an entire learning management system similar to Blackboard.
ECU supports a suite of learning platforms to meet your course management, communication, and collaboration needs. ECU hosted tools are all reviewed for FERPA, state contractual rules, ADA accessibility, and security compliance requirements. We recommend you work with the university to review products, pursue contracts, and confirm that tools are ADA compliant. It is not recommended, but if you determine that there is not an ECU hosted solution to meet your course needs, and you ask students to upload course content into a non ECU hosted system, you will need to be prepared for the following two situations. Examples include: uploading a video to YouTube or other video hosting service, uploading a class presentation to Slideshare, Prezi, or other systems, etc.
When implementing a non ECU hosted tool, be considerate of what you are asking your students to do. If students have to create personal accounts with the third-party, carefully review the Terms and Conditions you are asking them to agree to in order to participate in your course. In addition, consider providing suggestions for account names and ways students can mask their identity; please do not require students to post profile pictures of themselves.
Include information about all of the technology tools you are using in your course syllabus and in the course description so that students have access to this information at the start of the class in the event they do not want to use non ECU hosted technologies for their course work.
In the situation where you need to place student data in the cloud, a university contract is required. Examples include: uploading a student's paper into plagiarism checking software, uploading a student's video to YouTube or other video hosting service, etc. If you are unable to meet this requirement, you must request your students complete and sign a consent form. As the instructor, you must archive the consent forms for your course(s). The consent form can be found HERE. Please contact the Office of the Registrar at 252.328.6747 if you have questions or need assistance with the form. Do not put student course content in the cloud and agree to the terms and conditions without the student's consent. If you administer a tool, such as a publisher assessment account for your course or another tool where you place student data in the cloud, this is considered an education record that is protected by FERPA.

Boost Oxygen 10 Liter Can - Natural
As pilots we all know that oxygen is important to aviation safety and comfort. And, there are rules about the required use of oxygen by the pilot after 12,500 feet for more than 30 minutes or anytime above 14,000 feet. But, that doesn't mean that you can't begin to have low oxygen saturation at much lower altitudes. Flying as low as 5,000 feet, the body will start to demand more oxygen and functions like night vision can begin to be impaired.
If you aren't flying with a portable oxygen system, keeping a Boost Oxygen can handy can be just the answer to keep you safe in the air and feeling better after landing.
The average purity level of Oxygen in the air is 21%. Booost Canned Oxygen is 95% Pure! And, just a few deep breaths of Boost Oxygen helps you stay at your best. It is all-natural, and contains no caffeine, no calories or any other unnatural stimulants.
This single 10 liter Boost Oxygen can has a built-in, connected, mask that provides up to 200 one second inhalations.
Use in in conjunction with a portable Pulse Oximeter to stay in peak condition! Natural (unscented) flavor.

by Daniel E. Schmidt
That headline is not a rhetorical question. I want everyone who reads this to respond to this blog and provide their thoughts. One sentence. That's all that's needed.
Deer hunting used to be about deer camp and good food and great friends. It used to be about "I'd like to shoot a buck, but I'll settle for some meat if needed." It used to be about friends and neighbors caring and sharing so much that compassion ruled above the number of inches on a buck's head.
I'm not about romanticizing things that weren't there. And I'm certainly not about time machines and fairy tales. I am about human decency and putting things into enough perspective that kindness and Christianity are above and beyond any personal agenda. It could be just me, but I see too much of the latter and not enough of the former in today's deer hunting culture. Sure, we all love to daydream about shooting that buck of a lifetime. We buy new gear … treestands, trail cameras, bows, guns and ATVs … in hopes of giving ourselves a little bit of an edge in accomplishing these goals.
But how many of us draw a line in the sand and decide enough is enough during the course of deer season? How many of us say, "you know what, I'm out here to enjoy myself and have fun." How many of us leave our self interests at the door and do everything in our power to make sure that our hunting partners, friends, relatives and blood brothers also have a good time out there?
Each year I hear about and see first-hand the ugliness that comes with property ownership, intensive trophy management and the insanely ridiculous goals of "managing" micro properties for trophy bucks. It's a vicious cycle and, most times, one that's centered around unattainable goals. In the end, many hunters find themselves unhappy, unsatisfied and downright surly when they realize they can't keep up with the Joneses.
That's it for my thoughts. What are yours? Agree or disagree? Or do you have a different take?
Bonus question: What are your overall thoughts and impressions of the deer hunting shows you see on TV? Do TV producers get it right? Are the shows you watching an accurate reflection of what happens in your woods? What would you like to see more — and less — on the hunting shows aired on the three major outdoors networks?
Checking out for today. I'm ready to hear from you!
