time
Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future. Time is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience. Time is often referred to as the fourth dimension, along with the three spatial dimensions.
Time has long been an important subject of study in religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it in a manner applicable to all fields without circularity has consistently eluded scholars. Nevertheless, diverse fields such as business, industry, sports, the sciences, and the performing arts all incorporate some notion of time into their respective measuring systems. Two contrasting viewpoints on time divide prominent philosophers. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe—a dimension independent of events, in which events occur in sequence. Isaac Newton subscribed to this realist view, and hence it is sometimes referred to as Newtonian time. The opposing view is that time does not refer to any kind of "container" that events and objects "move through", nor to any entity that "flows", but that it is instead part of a fundamental intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which humans sequence and compare events. This second view, in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz and Immanuel Kant, holds that time is neither an event nor a thing, and thus is not itself measurable nor can it be travelled.
Time in physics is unambiguously operationally defined as "what a clock reads". Time is one of the seven fundamental physical quantities in both the International System of Units and International System of Quantities. Time is used to define other quantities—such as velocity—so defining time in terms of such quantities would result in circularity of definition. An operational definition of time, wherein one says that observing a certain number of repetitions of one or another standard cyclical event (such as the passage of a free-swinging pendulum) constitutes one standard unit such as the second, is highly useful in the conduct of both advanced experiments and everyday affairs of life. The operational definition leaves aside the question whether there is something called time, apart from the counting activity just mentioned, that flows and that can be measured. Investigations of a single continuum called spacetime bring questions about space into questions about time, questions that have their roots in the works of early students of natural philosophy.
Furthermore, it may be that there is a subjective component to time, but whether or not time itself is "felt", as a sensation, or is a judgment, is a matter of debate.
Temporal measurement has occupied scientists and technologists, and was a prime motivation in navigation and astronomy. Periodic events and periodic motion have long served as standards for units of time. Examples include the apparent motion of the sun across the sky, the phases of the moon, the swing of a pendulum, and the beat of a heart. Currently, the international unit of time, the second, is defined by measuring the electronic transition frequency of caesium atoms (see below). Time is also of significant social importance, having economic value ("time is money") as well as personal value, due to an awareness of the limited time in each day and in human life spans.
I ordered a spotting scope from Optics Planet and in the confirmation email it said "Estimated to ship in 26-37 days" :eek: Ever heard of that? The scope was an old model at a 61% discount.

Really good article from an Active Shooter Response Instructor. It's worth your time and particularly if you're in the camp that don't think we should arm teachers.
Based on past shootings, the author makes the case that in these situations the casualty rate is about 1:7 or 1:8. That is...

Smithsonian Talks Guns in Old West as 50th Anniversary of Leone Classic Looms
An interesting historic discussion of guns and gun control in the Old West published Monday by Smithsonian.com has some remarkable, albeit unintentional, revelations that apparently are aimed at shattering some myths...
I was at Skagit arms today talking to the guy behind the counter and the owner when they got a phone call from a guy checking on his delay gun purchase it's TEN business days in Washington now for a delay last year it was five just so you know
I was pretty nervous I'm not going to lie. I never done it before I didn't know what to expect, was I going to do something wrong break a rule that I wasn't aware of? What if I wasn't has good as I thought I would be, would I be ashamed to show my face again? I could tell that the girl I was...
I've never been to this place but have driven by it all the time since my girlfriend lives nearby. From the surveillance vid it looks like no one hangs out there after the 2nd time it was robbed.
Very sad to see this continue and I hope the next time this loser attempts to commit armed robbery...

I know what they want. Most of you know what they want. Rarely do they admit it.
But a writer for the Boston Globe, when viewing the abject failure that is gun control laws is left to ponder the only option left to the gun haters: confiscation.

Heading out at 430 am Saturday for 2 weeks at camp. Deer, bear, elk & cougar tags. West Klickitat unit. Now where the hell did I put my hunting license???
Jerry Out!
Three times in my life I have seen elk with tremendous racks. Not among the vast amount of Rocky Mountain elk but next to good ole I 5. I would like some input about the two seasons for coast elk. I will likely hunt the second as it is longer. The Stotts Mtn area is closest. The Alsea and Trask...
I realize the other thread got shut down, so I hope folks keep it on target here since there is still plenty of news to discuss and we still need a place to talk about this. So please, keep it on topic so the mods don't shut this thread down too.

Took the class August 23rd, Utah BCI charged my credit card on September 12th, and the permit arrived in the mail today :eek:. Everything I read pointed to around two months after they charged your card. It's a great feeling knowing I don't have to disarm before crossing into Washington now...
