There are 14 players in the pool. I said earlier no prizes. I changed my mind. $25 Bass Pro or Academy card goes to the winner (winner's choice)

Correct. If you choose "options" then "Personal" you can edit the screen name to match your TGO screen name if you'd like. It would certainly make it easier to know whose bracket is falling apart.

yep. Just 2 hours 38 minutes to go. Lock in those picks, TGO!

Yeah, and SETI may not like what they find if they ever find something....

We have 9 now with just under 14 hours to go.....

The Sudekum Planetarium (at the Adventure Science Center) in conjunction with the Barnard-Seyfert Astronomical Society hosts star parties at various sites around the Nashville area. I plan to go to the one in April at Edwin Warner Park. http://www.sudekumplanetarium.com/starparties/index.shtml Sudekum also has late shows every 2nd Saturday of a month. Normally you have to buy admission to the ACC and then add-on a ticket to the planetarium. For the late shows, you can pay for just the planetarium. And yes, they do a Pink Floyd show <<That ain't no Marlboro>> CAS that Mechanic_X mentioned can be found here: http://www.cumberlandastronomicalsociety.org/ Vandy's Dyer Observatory has free Fridays every 2nd Friday (except June). It's located off of Granny White Pike near Radnor Lake state park. http://www.dyer.vanderbilt.edu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=55

A few have joined the bracket that didn't post here. I count 5 of us so far. Come on TGOers, let's get some March Madness/ You have until noon eastern tomorrow to create or edit your brackets. Speaking of editing....Syracuse has some news.....

If they're going to move on from the farm at some point (and they will), Maggie's ties to the farm will have to end, or Glenn's ties to Maggie. I look for the farm clan to get eaten in the final episode, except for Maggie. Maybe now that Dale's gone, Glenn will be smart and stop off at the local RV World and pick up a new ride to replace the old fail-mobile. I doubt it.

Glenn was pretty clear about why. He said something like "What? with your dad in the house?" He was clearly uncomfortable with that. Glenn's a good guy. I'm glad he was able to step up this time and finish off zombie-Randall. Maybe that will break him out of this self-loathing funk.

+1 Hershel's world view is changing, but I doubt he'd look fondly on Glenn shacking up with his daughter under his own roof, pocketwatch or not.

I finally watched it. Best episode all season and the first this year with an "oh crap! Zombies!!!1!!" ending that leaves me wanting more. I doubt they'll go there with it, but I wonder if Laurie was pushing for some kind of resolution like this. A few episodes back she was telling Rick how dangerous Shane was and that he'll protect what he considers "his" and Shane considers Carl, Laurie, and the baby as "his". Then knowing the tension between Rick and Shane over Randall's fate and over leadership of the group, she goes out there and dumps Shane. Was she trying to force his hand to make a move on Rick and trusted Rick would finally do what needed doing? As for the horde, I doubt it's Randall's crew. More likely it's the horde from the town that moved in when they picked up Randall. It felt like T-Dog had more lines in this episode than the whole spring season combined, and he only had about 4. I was wondering the same thing about Darryl's gun. Carl must have gone back after Dale's death and got it.

Maybe he had it tucked in some stylish sweat pants, sans-a-belt, sans-a-holster.

I dabble a little. I know a lot less than I'd like to. I have a pair of Nikon 10x 50's that I use along with a cheap Celestron scope. I'm too close to the city to pick out many details of stars, but the Celestron gives really good views of the lunar landscape. Very clear crater edges. I was able to find all of Jupiter's Galilean moons with the Nikons on a tripod a couple of years ago when they were lined up nice and neat. Star Walk is a great iPhone app. It uses the accelerometer, compass, and GPS to display a view of the stars. Imagine it's a clear window. Whatever is behind it apperars on screen with labels and info. You can also drop out the canned black sky background and it will use the iPhone camera instead for a real-time image of what you are seeing. Lots of other cool features too like various light waves, lookups of planets, stars, constellations, satellites, and the ISS, then an arrow to direct you to their location. http://vitotechnolog.../star-walk.html

well played, strickj, well played....

Forget the catfish. He needs ill-tempered sea bass.

Centerfire is banned at night, but rimfire is not. But as R_Bert pointed out, the list of critters that can be hunted at night is limited. So one could presumably hunt raccoons 24 hours a day, but must use rimfire from 30 min after sunset until 30 min before sunrise. Then switch back to the .50 BMG. Right?

So the TWRA regs would then be stating that you can use rimfire at night, but only on those critters listed on page 16 for night hunting?

I don't see any NCAA brackets threads yet, so here we go. I have created a brackets group on CBS Sportsline for those who want to play. No money involved. No prizes. Just bragging rights until next year. http://tngunowners.m...cbssports.com/e The group password is centerfire The deadline for submitting your brackets is Noon Eastern Time on Thursday. Scoring rules: Round 1 = 1 point + seed Round 2 = 2 points + seed Round 3 = 4 points (no bonus) Round 4 = 8 points (no bonus) Semifinal = 16 points (no bonus) Final = 32 points (no bonus) Total score of the championship game is the tie breaker The "+ seed" in the first two rounds means that the points awarded will be increased by the winning team's seed. If you pick a 16 to knock off a 1, you're crazy, but you'd get 17 points if it happens. The + seed bonus is only in play for the first 2 rounds.

Maybe he really hates brussel sprouts.

Probably a Glock.

The TWRA Hunting Guide doesn't say anything about after dark being a no-no in and of itself. It says no predator calls, night vision, or centerfire at night. .17 HMR is rimfire. Am I misunderstanding the regulations? http://www.eregulati...HD_FINAL_LR.pdf Pages 18, 19

This should be required reading for all P-22 owners. Much of what he has written about and done to his is no longer needed. He reported this stuff to the manufacturer who made many of the changes in later generations. http://www.freespeech.com/1917-1911M_P22_bible.pdf

with gators.

+1 to the CCI mini mags. Wally World seems to be the cheapest on those. Round nose or HP don't seem to make much difference. After a few hundred of those, I can use the bulk pack stuff, but still get the occasional failure to fully cycle. The mini mags never fail to cycle. Mine's a 2nd gen and the hammer won't drop with the mag out.
