*Standing O in Pipsqueaks' direction*
I guess the thing that bothers me the most about Michael Weiss is that, at the age of 28, he's still trying to figure out how to land triple axels, much less quads.
He has been known to make some ridiculous excuses for his error-laden programs, such as "I don't know what happened out there". Say what?
Sorry, guys, I just think that a skater who is still trying to figure out how to skate when he or she is pushing 30 is, well, chasing after the wind.
If Michael has a great 2004-2005 competitive season, I will be pleasantly shocked and surprised.
Sounds like honesty to me.Originally Posted by SkateFan4Life
um... yeah... so I guess I just shouldn't even consider trying to skate at any level because it'd just be pathetic for me to be in my 20s and I'll JUST NOW be learning to skate around the rinkOriginally Posted by SkateFan4Life
the man can hit triple jumps, so what if he doesn't have the BEST ONES out there, it's more than a lot of us ever hope to do...
we're really reaching to dislike this guy....
I've given up trying to figure out why posters dislike Michael Weiss. To each his own I guess. They say the opposite of "love" is "hate". Maybe this theory applies here. Perhaps some fans are disappointed in a skater they formally liked and now, can't stand having them around. It's happened before. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoy Michael's skating and hopes he keeps at it until he's had enough........and I've said this before, if you don't like him, don't watch him....42
Sometimes you don't know what happened out there when you blow a program. Competitive skating is anything but an exact science. Just sharing a competitive skater's POV.Originally Posted by SkateFan4Life
What's wrong with that answer? I bet Kurt Browning still asks himself what happened at the Olympics, I bet Plushenko still asks himself today what happened when he missed that quad in SLC, I bet Kwan still asks herself how did she miss that triple flip in SLC. Does that make them ridiculous too?Originally Posted by SkateFan4Life
Hi Show - I remember in Psychology Class that it was said that the opposite of love is disinterest.,. Disinterest in someone, life, politics, religion is defintely, a non-love situation.Originally Posted by show 42
I do believe the posters who have a negative interest in Michael is not a disinterest in Michael. He bringgs to them something which casues them to emote. There is no disinterest.

I do not think that anyone posting on this threat actually hates Michael Weiss, although some have posted some strong, negative comments. That's fair and square, as far as I'm concerned, as long as we don't get nasty in expressing our opinions and/or bash someone with said opinions.Originally Posted by Joesitz
Weiss's inability to skate a clean program, his constant flubbing of his quad lutz, and his unfortunate propensity to utter ungracious comments (when the microphone is turned on) have pretty much left me cold. I am not a Weiss fan - never have been, and never will be.
However, I can appreciate his tenacity to stick with it all these years, and certainly, if he wishes to continue as an eligible skater, more power to him. Retirement is optional, not a necessity.
eurterpe = I am in total agreement with you to nitpick his skating. That's your perrogative. But for the 'propensity to utter ungracious comments', if true, is his business, and if I heard it I would be saying Reeeealy, Michael, and not getting upset over what boys and men do in every sport. I think it adds a bit of masculinity to what otherwise is considered an effete sport for men.
Maybe we should just limit the sport to teenage girls. They do have better behaviour off the ice.
Okay Joe, now I am really digging deep into my memory banks....Psychology...mmmm. I thought perhaps the opposite of "disinterest" is "interest"....no? Or is hate a negative form of love? I think this is why I stuck with English Literature in college......... Anyway, I didn't mean to imply at anytime that I thought anyone "hated" Michael Weiss. It just seems that his skating and personality generate such strong negative feelings, more so than any other male skater at present. I just don't get it!! 42
I negatively love myself when I do this, but actually, isn't the opposite of "disinterested" something like "unbiased," or "lacking a personal stake in the matter?" Uninterested, on the other hand...
But Joe has an interesting point. Big-talk is accepted as macho in other sports -- why not figure skating?
Show - If you are not interested in anyone or anything, you can not hate it or love it. there is nothing there. I would say the opposite of hate is also disinterest. both love and hate carry extreme emotional upheavals in the body. they are the same emotionally. Now if we take it down a notch and say, I like Michael or I dislike Michael, we acknowledge his existence and have normal feelings about him whether they are real or imaginary.,
I think from reading the posts which constantly put him down, that the writers are upset that he brags a lot and then doesn't produce the goods. they dislike his attitude and therefore they dislike him and his skating. I can understand that, but personally, I find Michael amusing and I am not a fan.
Thanks Mathman. I think we should get some more testosterone into figure skating and make it into a sport one can slug down a couple of beers and bite into some buffalo wings while watching the sport.
Oh for the days of Jackson, Salchow and Lutz!!!
IMHO, Michael will probably stay in the eligible ranks through the 2005-2006 so that he can try for another shot at skating in the Winter Olympics. Maybe he'll get his act together this season and land those quads and triples. As I wrote previously, if Weiss has a great season and skates up to his potential, I will be pleasantly surprised.
I don't really care who goes and who stays on the eligible scene just so long as there are new faces mixed with old faces and a lot of variety and GOOD SKATING!! (Sometimes I do wish Micheal WOULD go away because his programs have no spark, his jump percentages are so poor and his artistry...well..I don't think I need to remark on that- we all already know about the quality of his artistic skills in his programs)

Laurel Whitney | October 31, 2012
By Laurel Whitney • Wednesday, October 31, 2012 - 17:05
There's a question I often pose to my undergrad students after discussing the many implications of climate change:
"Do you think we'll be able to change before it's too late, or do you think it's going to take some kind of natural disaster to get us moving?"
Unsurprisingly, most students choose the latter, although melancholically. It's not that they want it to be the case, but with all the data and warnings from scientists, up against the misinformation spewing from powerful fossil fuel corporations, they logically don't see it happening any other way.
It's the sad truth considering we're on the verge of a major presidential election and not once has either candidate discussed climate change or its potential threat to our country in the debates.
And while environmentalists and climate hawks rightfully shamed the candidates for not addressing the issue, apparently Mother Nature wasn't going to let "climate silence" continue. Hurricane Sandy slammed into the coast bringing the east coast to its knees.
"I think part of learning from this is the recognition that climate change is reality," said NY Governor Andrew Cuomo in the wake of the hurricane.
It's unfortunate that in order for politicians to start acknowledging the issue, let alone addressing it legislatively, it's taken the Atlantic's largest hurricane on record (1,000 miles in diameter) to submerge a 100-yr old subway system, decimate coastal properties, leave millions without power, and worst of all, kill dozens of citizens. Now they are forced to face the facts.
Subway flooding at the Whitehall Station, which had recently completed a $530 million remodeling (the stairs you see go down to the subway platform).
Well, except for Governor Romney, who, after multiple attempts by reporters, still refuses to answer simple questions about FEMA and disaster relief funding. Perhaps it's because he's eating his words right now after stating at the RNC that he has no interest in "slowing the rise of the oceans" or "healing the planet" - a statement Bill Clinton called him out on at a rally in Minnesota yesterday.
It's hard to deny seeing the predictions of climate scientists unfold. For example, warmer oceans would contribute to more intense storms. Ocean temperatures are 5 degrees F warmer than usual right now, intensifying the storm like a baseball player using steroids. This also increases the likelihood that a storm will track north. As global temperatures continue to increase, so does the atmosphere's ability to hold moisture, leading to more rain.
Flooding at 14th St. and Ave. C in Manhattan
The sea levels are rising, encroaching up the coast and making storm surges more destructive (especially at high tide, as happened with Sandy). The Battery in lower Manhattan saw record storm surge levels, at over 9 feet above high tide. In fact, sea levels are rising 4 times faster on the Northeast coast of the US than the global average.
Lastly, even the record low Arctic ice levels may have influence over these types of storms by messing with the Jet Stream and blocking the storms from heading out to sea, instead shoving into the east coast.
"Extreme weather is a reality. It is a reality that we are vulnerable," continued Cuomo. "And if we're going to do our job as elected officials, we're going to need to think about how to redesign, or as we go forward, make the modifications necessary so we don't incur this type of damage. This city, this region, is very susceptible to coastal flooding. It's not something we've had to deal with historically with any frequency whatsoever. So we're not built in a way that has the built in protections seen in other states."
Over 100 homes in Breezy Point Queens burned when fire crews couldn't contain a fire caused by a burst electrical line.
Even Mayor Bloomberg couldn't deny the severity of weather events in recent years (even if he can't quite hop on the global warming reality train),
"What is clear is that the storms that we've experienced in the last year or so around this country and around the world are much more severe than before. Whether that's global warming or what, I don't know. But we'll have to address those issues."
This storm will cost the city and tri-state area billions in damages, for one storm, yet we refuse to invest in measures that could combat and mitigate climate change, in effect preventing these disasters from getting worse. Instead the conversation continues to be about "clean" coal, "natural" gas, and "home-grown" oil extracted within our borders. In the meantime, this is my second hurricane in New York in two years.
"There's only so long you can say, 'well this is a once in a lifetime and it will never happen again," said Governor Cuomo, "I believe it's going to happen again. I pray that it's not; I believe that it is."
So how many natural disasters is it going to take before we can have this long overdue conversation with our nation's leaders?
Here's a look at this year's

New Rational?
What say the people who told me global warming isn't happening because the streets of New York City aren't flooded with water?
Guess they'll have to pick on a new city.
A gradual shift to realization
The federal government won't act until the political leaders express, frankly, their concern. Gov. Cuomo's stark comments were great, but until this turns into a groundswell there's little to shake Congress.
Agree completely that there's been a failure by the presidential candidates to talk about climate change – but whose fault is it really?
I would put most of the blame on the news media, first. Reporters had ample opportunity to ask the candidates about climate change, but they didn't. It's not an important question.
Second, the public deserves blame. In the candidate town halls, people fail time and again to raise climate change as an issue. Take the student (not to pick on him) in the second presidential debate who asked the question about his own job prospects. Did he think he would learn something new? (It makes me wonder: Are colleges today inspiring students to take on the toughest challenges or to focus on themselves and their job prospects?) For that matter, any of the people in the town hall could have asked about climate change, but yet they didn't.
It's amazing, really, but climate change is low on the priority list of questions asked by anyone. In truth, the advocacy efforts remain small, and the lobbying machine has marginalized the scientific community.
How many political leaders, really, will cite Sandy as evidence that we need to act on climate change? I don't think Sandy alone will change the focus. It will launch a lot adapatation planning and new spending, and it will make people more aware that sea level rise is real and serious, but to assume that it will also lead to a major shift in carbon usage and stop the tar sands from being exploited and Keystone built, extend the wind tax credit, among many other things, is an assumption that can't be made.
I tend to agree with the outlook of the students that you have polled on this issue. It took Sandy to get some political recognition of climate change, but it remains, as an issue, on the margins and we all deserve a measure of blame for it.
It will take more extreme weather patterns and polar ice melt before the news media and the public makes climate change a question of importance and priority. This is not cynicism. But in the absense of any contrary evidence, I don't know what else to conclude.
I just watched Climate of Doubt
and if clarified a lot of what was going on;
Essentially, any politician party that brings up climate change is attacked by the far Right. This includes Right wing politicians. I'd watch that video if I was you.
I have no doubt that the attacks don't stop at the politicians. I bet it goes as far as media and public organizations.

We all know October is breast cancer awareness month. The pink ribbon is how many think of breast cancer, but as this tweet reminds us all breast cancer is much more serious.
RT @laikas: RT @gfry "Breast cancer is not a pink ribbon" Exhibition has its own site: http://www.thescarproject.org/home.html Impressive!
I had not known of The Scar Project (photo create) prior to reading that tweet on Monday, but I have seen and created many of the scars. The physical breast cancer scars come from biopsies, lumpectomies, mastectomies, and even the reconstruction.
The Scar Project, photographer David Jay, and all the women who participated are to be commended.
The SCAR Project is a series of large-scale portraits of young breast cancer survivors shot by fashion photographer David Jay. Primarily an awareness raising campaign, The SCAR Project puts a raw, unflinching face on early onset breast cancer while paying tribute to the courage and spirit of so many brave young women.
Dedicated to the more than 10,000 women under the age of 40 who will be diagnosed this year alone The SCAR Project is an exercise in awareness, hope, reflection and healing. The mission is three-fold: Raise public consciousness of early-onset breast cancer, raise funds for breast cancer research/outreach programs and help young survivors see their scars, faces, figures and experiences through a new, honest and ultimately empowering lens.
The SCAR Project subjects range from ages 18 to 35 and represent the often overlooked group of young women living with breast cancer. (Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in young women ages 15-40). They journey from across America and the world to be photographed for The SCAR Project. Nearly 100 so far. The youngest 18.
There was an exhibition of the project in New York this past weekend. Even though, the exhibition is over, there is a book for sale of The Scar Project.

Is Helen Mirren.
He presented her with the Empire Legend Award in London last night. Look at this woman. She is spectacular. She is spectacular in that dress. She is spectacular with the coat on top of it. She is spectacular all the time. And did you see Phil Spector on HBO last night? I watched it on a screener last week and couldn't sleep afterwards, Al Pacino was so f-cking creepy. Helen however, as you can imagine, was, as usual, well, spectacular. Easy Emmy nominations for both of them, if not wins. When it repeats, you should check it out.
As an accessory to Dame Helen then, Tom Hiddleston? Not bad at all.

Comments: Update: If your swing speed has any pace at all, have backup racquets because this string will
break after 2 or 3 sets. However, up until then, it plays great and I had no elbow pain at all!
From: Isaacs, 4/16
Comments: Here's the deal on this string: the spin potential is awesome -- for a syn gut, it's borderline
amazing. But it does move a lot and very quickly. I strung it at 62 lbs in my open patterned Prince Tour 98 ESP and that
probably has quite a bit to do with it. But it plays great, feels great and the controlled spin is terrific. So here's the solution
to the movement: pair it with Prince Tour XC 15 gauge (the "experimental" version in the clear bag is cheap). Put the
Topspin syn in the mains and the XC in the crosses -- seriously. Movement is reduced big time and in my opinion, feels
and plays as good as natural gut. Power, control and touch, give it a shot!
From: Isaacs, 2/16
Comments: For the price, you can't beat it. Lots of comfort. Could match the comfort of the Babolat Xcel.
Easy to
generate spin and power. Impressed! 10/10 and plus the strings barely move. Only played with it for 6 hours and no
yet. Can't comment on durability yet.
From: Chris, 4/13
Comments: This string is bad. I played for a while and at the beginning it is ok. After a week it just doesn't
have any
feeling. I have been struggling with this string and won't recommend it.
From: Mike, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 07/10
Comments: A+. All in one! (Control, Topspin, Feel , Soft on your arms and Durability)
From: Aravind, Sussex, WI, US 02/10
Comments: I have used Prince Topspin 15L for 15+ years and have had great results with it. I just recently
playing tennis again and have tried different strings, Wilson NXT, Gamma 16/17 and did not care for the performance. I
used it
with tensions at 55lbs and it gave more topspin on servers. I have recently set the tension at 58 lbs and have had great
results all
around, more control with great pops, and feel. Never have broken a string with Topspin 15L Duraflex ever since I started
using it
back in 1989. Broken racquets, YES! Sting, NO!
From: Abel, Minneapolis, MN, USA. 07/09
Comments: I use these strings every once in a while, not my favorite but is very playable, decent durability. It
move a lot and loses tension pretty fast, but it does not break as fast as some of these people say. I've strung it for a few
and the ones who broke it in a few days shanked/mis-hit the ball a lot, or they hit the frame or too close to the frame which
breaks the strings faster. I'm not that good yet, but it does last me a good 3 weeks before breaking, and I play about 8-10
hours a
From: Nolan, Union City, CA, USA, 04/09
Comments: This string is great and provides great spin and control for a beginner to advanced tennis player.
From: Mustaq, Waterbury, CT, USA. 10/08
Comments: I have used Prince Topspin 15L and 16 gauge on my Wilson NSix-one (57lb). The 15L lasts me
about 8
sets and the 16 about 4 sets. I like the feel and would recommend it to string breakers. The feel is not great but it's great
for 6
From: Ashwin, Austin, TX, USA, 05/08
Comments: It provides good spin and control and will still last more than a week. I highly recommend this
From: Matt, NC, USA. 3/08
Comments: This string is not worth $5. It plays very well with tremendous topspin but breaks in 2 hours. I had
a bad, frustrating time ate a tournament last week when I ran out of rackets! Buy Tecnifibre Spinfire.
From: Eric, Staten Island, NY. 2/08
Comments: I've tried many topspin strings over the years and they all have the same 'bite' except that this
topspin with duraflex lasts twice as long! Even the more expensive strings don't last as long. It does get loose after 15 - 20
of playing, but which other strings don't? At $5.85 it's a great deal!
From: Ken, Boston, MA, USA, 12/07
Comments: This string is terrible. For starters, it moves way too much. Secondly, it gave me a terrible
injury (after I hit a serve) that kept me from playing tennis for a whole month. And lastly, the tension was lost extremely
quick. I
will never get this string again!
From: Ryan, Murphy, NC, USA, 09/07
Comments: I bought the Prince topspin strings because I broke strings every month or two and I was looking
for a
more durable string. The strings move a little bit but it gives you incredible topspin. The added spin keeps the ball from
long incredibly.
From: Michael, Hudsonville, MI, USA, 09/07
Comments: I strung my NXG with this at max tension and I was very impressed. I play with heavy spin and this
string had excellent bite, crazy spin, and good control. It loses some playability after a week or two but the string isn't to
pricey so
you can just get it restrung. String it up tight or you'll have to adjust the strings fairly often after about 2 days+ of play.
From: Thomas, Houston, TX, USA, 5/07
Comments: Everything that you hear about these strings being durable is very misleading! I've tried these
twice, and just like any other textured string that I've used, they broke in less than a week. Plus they move a lot.
From: T., Glen Burnie, MD, USA. 5/07
Comments: Got my Head LM Radical oversized restrung yesterday and decided to give this string a shot. By
way, I play with lots of topspin (mostly why I chose this string. Played with it today and it rocks! Has great "bite" on the
ball and
gives you so much control with lots of spin. Also it doesn't move as much as the factory stringing or the Prince Problend.
The guy
that strung my racquet had played with it for a longer time and he said it helps prevent tennis elbow and is easier on the
arm. So
far I'm pretty impressed by it.
From: Lukas, NC, USA. 4/07
Comments: Most of the comments within the web page hold true. The strings might move a bit and loose
tension in the long-term. But overall it is a great string. I gained immediate control of my forehand going long with the
control it offers. Further, I don't worry about breaking the strings, which used to haunt me.
From: Rivendell, Regina, SK, Canada. 10/06
Comments: I am a 3.5-4.0 baseline player and I liked the string a lot at first, but like people have said before
spend so much time fixing the strings between points. The first match I played with these strings was constantly delayed
of how much they moved. They are very durable though.
From: George, Hubertus. 10/06
Comments: I tried this string twice and was very disappointed. I hit with a ton of topspin and fairly hard. I
strings frequently and decided to give this string a try. I strung my Prince Bandit TT with it twice, second time at a max
and got the same result. The strings move excessively to the point of frustration. You are literally adjusting your strings for
minutes after every one-minute of play. I agree that it is durable but not a string for a true heavy topspin hitter. If you hit a
need a real durable string that offers a ton of bite and feel without leaving you to mess with your strings 1?2 the time, I
recommended the Gamma Infinity 18 Natural String.
From: Terry, Leominster, MA, USA 08/06
Comments: Very durable string! Great for baseline players as well as at the net. These strings have lots of
control. I
would rate these strings a 9/10. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
From: Hannah, Killen, AL, USA 07/06
Comments: This string plays very well for the first two weeks, but seems to lose a lot of playability.
After the first two weeks, the strings seem to lose tension. The strings also seem to become dull after very little
play and fray easily in the center of the string bed.
From: Keith, Troy, Alabama, USA 06/06
Comments: This string has quite the durability! Nice spin generation and feel for a 15L string.
When stringing this string, you must stretch it for about 3 minutes to get maximum durability because it is an
elastic string! Otherwise, this string isn't bad for us heavy topper players. I would recommend this string to
anyone who wants more spin and durability who plays from the baseline.
From: Justin, Hagerstown, MD USA 06/06
Comments: Topspin 15L is simply a good string. It outlasts most spin variety strings while still
providing excellent spin and control. I've found my favorite string, there's no doubt.
From: Luke, Plainview, TX, USA: 4/06
Comments: Read all the comments, strung it up @ 55lbs on my POG mid and it was dull and
unresponsive, no pop at all. Switched over to same frame with Gosen OG 16g and all was well again. Cut out
the Topspin as soon as I got home.
From: Christo, Walnut Creek, Ca 04/06
Comments: Great string! Long lasting and very durable. Has excellent spin and control. I'm a big
baseline hitter who uses lots of spin. By far on of the best string I've every used. It holds tension extremely well.
It also had a very crisp feel and control was unmatched. Not perfect on volleys but that might just be me.
From: Patrick, East Lyme, CT, USA 04/06
Comments: Longest lasting string I've ever used. Great spin and control. It is for power players who
use topspin.
From: Luke, Charlotte, NC, USA. 9/05
Comments: I've used this string since '95 with the Head Radical series strung at 68lbs; the control
is great, the
durability is superior to anything I've tried, and the feel is amazing for such a fat string. I've tried other types of
string because
friends have recommended them, but this is a solid string with good feel and good bite on the ball. The only
problem I've had is
with string movement, and string tends to stretch with in 5 to 8 sets.
From: Rob, MN, USA. 7/05
Comments: I have only used this string for about 3 days(6 hours). I think the feel
of the strings are great. I am feeling my shots have a bit more topspin in them. These strings
don't usually go out of place so you don't always have to fiddle around with your strings
during a game. I did not like prince that much at first but these strings are not far off from the
other Wilson strings which I prefer. I would rate these strings 8\10. I would also recommend
these strings to those who break strings.
From: Kai, The Peak, Hong Kong, China 05/05
Comments: Good stuff. I like this better than the stamina spin. I was able to put
some heavy spin on my shots (even though I like to hit flat and go for winners on my
forehand). Good stuff for heavy spin players. (Playing style big forehand and bigger serve)
From: Hendrik, Mercer Island, WA, USA. 01/05
Comments: The Prince Topspin 15L string is great for a topspin player and
gives a
person total control and a lot of power. The strings also offer good durability.
From: Max, New York City, New York, USA. 3/04
Comments: Fairly good strings but not very durable.
From: Robert, NY, NY, USA. 3/04
Comments: I've only played with this string for a week or two, but I'm suddenly in
control of the ball. I used to be aiming for perfect shots for different situations and missing
because my aim was off. Now I have so much control it's amazing the difference. My topspin
was amazing before, and now it's even better! My topspin is probably the most important
aspect of my game as I like to just slam into the ball pretty much on ever hit. I don't have a flat
serve but my slice is pretty fast so I needed a more durable string, and this does it for me. If
you hit with spin of any type and want to enhance it and get a longer lasting string I suggest
this one.
From: James, Houston, Texas, USA. 8/03
Comments: I've tried many different strings and I keep coming back to Prince
Topspin. I find the playability and the durability of the string to be at about the optimum level
for my game. I'm basically a big hitter though I do like to add touch shots to my game.
Topspin works well for both types of shots. I'm also very hard on my strings. I use a
generous amount of spin I can break strings very quickly. Topspin lasts as long as any
other I've tried and I still prefer the way it plays more than other strings I've tried. I also find it
holds it's tension very well, especially compared to strings like Wilson Sensation NXT. The
other thing you can't beat is the price to performance ratio. Even if I break it on a fairly regular
basis the price is easy to deal with.
From: Yoda, Fairfax, VA, USA. 7/03
Comments: I am a 4.0 player that plays a power game. I came to somewhat of
a wall with my old strings where I could not hit any harder. The Topspin 15L strings are
great. They added much more topspin onto my shots and this allows me to hit harder and
keep the ball in play. They last a long time and give me great control.
From: John, Asheville, NC, USA. 6/03
Comments: I am a 4.0 doubles player. I tried switching from the Prince Topspin
Plus 16 to the 15 gauge. I did not care for it at all. I seemed to lose some feel and spin. It
was also harder on my wrist and elbow. I seemed to hit more balls long than usual as well. I
am switching back to the 15 gauge string.
From: Scott, Minneapolis, MN, USA. 4/03
Comments: I recently bought the Prince Topspin 15L. My swing is mostly pure
flat with no spin, so it is not that effective. But after I got the Topspin, I can hit with some more
spin and it works very well with me. Also, it's very durable, the only problem is that, for flat
hitters like me, the string losses some of its texture within a few days of play.
From: Albert, Fountain Valley, California, USA 4/03
Comments: I am a 4.5 NTRP, and I play around ten hours per week. I am a
typical baseliner with a big forehand and I play a very power oriented game. I have played
with a nylon string for as long as I can remember. And then, one day, I decided to switch to a
textured string. I have tried numerous different brands and I have found that Prince Topspin
15L is the best one on the market. It gave me more consistency and more feel than any thing
I have ever used. Oh yeah, did I mention the vast improvement it gave me on my topspin?
The only drawback to Prince Topspin is durability. The strings hardly ever break but they
lose their feel and tension after only three days (6 hours) of play. But for someone who is
looking for a quality string and is also looking for a substantial improvement on their topspin,
Prince Topspin 15L is the string for you.
From: Sven, Green Bay, WI, USA. 3/03
Comments: Ever since I switched to Prince Topspin, my game has improved
substantially. I have better ground strokes and produce better kick on my serves. Although I
use 15L, it tends to break on occasion. I would recommend this string to any player looking
to improve his or her game.
From: Brian, Appleton, WI. USA 12/02
Comments: This string is quite impressive. Unlike other 15 gauge strings, this
one has a sharp spin, very good consistency, control and string-tension maintaining
property. The strings don't slide that much. Actually this string is better than 16 gauge strings
in every category. I would recommend this string for oversize and midplus racquets.
From: Jean, Annandale, VA. USA 12/02
Comments: The Prince Topspin 15L is one of the greatest strings in terms of
combining playability and durability. I have been using this string for over a year and I will not
stop using it. Like the name says, this string offers whopping topspin for those who want to
really take a whack at the ball. The control is amazing and the durability is outstanding as
well. The Prince Topspin 15L is an excellent string for players of all levels and styles.
From: Alex, Santa Fe, NM. USA 11/02
Comments: As far the combination between playability and durability goes,
Topspin 15L is one of the best strings available. While it is 15 gauge and is a bit stiff, it
doesn't play like you'd think. It still offers good pop and decent spin potential. Factor in the
good price and this string is a terrific value (especially for high school and college string
breakers!) I play with the original Slazenger ProBraid strung at 72 lbs.
From: Dean, Appleton, WI. USA 10/02
Comments: The Prince Topspin 15L string offers a great feel for heavy topspin
hitters. It allows me to do almost anything with the ball. I feel totally in control!
From: Conor, Santa Fe, NM. USA 8/02
Comments: Prince Topspin 15L is a good string. It felt a little stiff for me at first
but after playing a set or two, it felt pretty good. I am a heavy topspin hitter and this string
provided more spin for me. I am a frequent string breaker and this string had decent
durability. A good choice for people who want a softer feel rather than a blend.
From: Paul, Pomona, CA. USA 6/02

The final volume cover will have an image of Luffy and Pandaman smiling together, trust me
I still insist that Pandaman is Luffy's great grandpa, or maybe his cousin. Garp wore a dog mask before, who knows.
It's just the Metroid series remade for the Xbox crowd.
However Samus Aran is now some unknown low ranking military personal.
Also the space pirates worship some giant doomsday hula hoop machine.

We everyone know who Pandaman is, we're just kidding (or that's what I hope!! xD). There's also Sam-san, who appears randomly in differents arcs/places.
Here is an idea, maybe somebody should start a Pandaman thread.
Too lazy right now, I will consider it tomorrow.

Henry Halem works with a variety of glassmaking techniques in order to elicit the power of the material. His work has moved from the abstract to the figurative, but is unified in its dependence on the particular physical qualities of glass, whether flat and polished or colourless and rough-surfaced.
This work in cast glass was made after May 4, 1970, when four students demonstrating against the Vietnam War were killed at Kent State University in Ohio. Halem was then head of the glass department at that university. The work, a self-portrait, expresses the anguish of that period by using glass in a way to suggests traditional funerary statuary.

Never cut foodstuffs directly on the laminate surface, Always use a chopping board for preparing food. Moisture Resistant: Axiom worktops manufactured using moisture resistant front and back edge seals. Moisture will not harm the laminate surface but it is advisable to wipe away any spillages as soon as possible. Wipe split liquids away from joints and cut-outs immediately. Ensure that all inset appliances are properly sealed with a suitable waterproof silicone sealant. Cleaning: Axiom worktops are easy to clean and maintain. For general cleaning of the surface requires only a damp cloth and a mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner diluted in warm water.

Abrasive scouring powders, creams and even polishes should all be avoided.

Hob & Sink cutouts: Granite sink / hob cut outs are barred front & back (fitting of steel support bars to give additional support to cutouts), Without steel supports bars, the length of a cut out is reduced considerably. Large cut outs need to be scored and cored on occasions. This leaves the corners of the cutout in place, ready for removal on-site by the installer. Granite is susceptible to 'blowing out'. This occurs when contact is made with the material whilst cutting or grinding. This is very common in large particled granite. ie. we fill and seal the affected areas with epoxy resin (colour may vary) to ensure the material is not left with any sharp edges or 'chips'.
A minimum of 120mm is required between two hob cutout, 100mm is required between hob and sink cutouts, 70mm is required between two sink cutouts and sink cutouts are placed 50mm from the worktop front edge.
Stainless Steel Sinks: Please specify the preferred undermounting of Stainless Steel Sinks. Silicone sealant may be rendered ineffective when plumbing the sink in, it is important that the sink is re-sealed by the plumber, or the 12 months guarantee will be invalid if the work is not carried out. If a waste disposal unit is fitted to an undermounted sink after installation, additional support will be required, otherwise your warranty may be invalidated.
Joints: Granite joints are finished with a small ariss to the top edge. Silicone sealant is applied to prevent water ingression.
Overhangs & Supports: Any overhang extending more than 300mm must be supported.Handling: For installations you will need additional labour on worktops weighing above 150kg. Every additional 75kg requires an extra person to assist with lifting. Due to the weight of granite, please ensure that your units are level and securely fixed.Drainer Grooves: Drainer grooves and recessed drainers may be duller than the rest of the polished surface. Colour matching is not always possible as granite can vary dramatically throughout each scant.Points of Note: Hob flanges need to sit on aluminium thermal insulation tape around the cut-out to avoid conducting excess heat & causing cracks in the worktop.Regular use of your Care & Maintenance Kit should ensure that your worktop always looks good.

Petraeus affair brings up adultery under military law
JACKSONVILLE - Former CIA Director David Petraeus could potentially be charged with adultery for his extramarital affair with biographer Paula Broadwell if it's discovered the affair began before he retired from the U.S. Army.
Controversy over the affair continues to swirl. There's debate over who knew what and whether national security was breached. Petraeus admitted to the affair with Broadwell and resigned from his position Friday.
Under Article 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, adultery is considered a crime by the military. The statute states that having an affair brings discredit upon the armed forces.
Legal experts said adultery is a crime the military frequently prosecutes.
"With a charge like this, it can go anywhere from informal verbal counseling, all the way to charges that are leveled at a court-martial," said Scott B. Jack, a Jacksonville-based military defense attorney.
Jack, a retired Lieutenant Colonel and military judge, served in the Marine Corps for 25 years. Jack said whether a service member is prosecuted depends heavily upon the specific facts of the case.
Petraeus could be on the hook if the affair happened while he was active-duty in the Army. A spokesperson for Petraeus has stated publicly the affair began after Petraeus retired.
Jack said an adultery charge would be very unlikely in that situation but legally possible. "It is possible that someone could be recalled to active duty and be charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice," said Jack, "especially if a service member retired to avoid negative repercussions.

The most comfortable shoes I own
"I absolutely love these shoes - I have them in the beige color and have worn them for two springs now. The bottom is soft and squishy. I think they are way more comfortable than Sperry's (and much cheaper). They look great with shorts or colored denim. I receive compliments on them all the time. Love them!"

"I don't think these are as super duper comfy as a lot of the reviews say, but maybe I just haven't been wearing them long enough. The inside seam rubbed a little bit on my 4th toes the first time I wore them. Bandaids solved that problem. I've worn them a bit more since then and they're definitely breaking in. Other than that, the sole is really flexible without being too thin/flimsy. I like that you get the boat shoe look for a lot cheaper. The sparkly gold threads are a nice touch that you really can't see in the online photos."

There was this Parker family: The father lost his job. A couple months later, the wife lost her job. And they had a mortgage to pay. So ultimately they sold their two cars so they could save their home. So then they had to depend on friends for rides to job interviews and to run errands. And then they needed help so they could feed and clothe their kids, as well as help paying utility bills.
"I get emotional," said Nani Lindig recently, a Douglas Elbert Task Force volunteer who choked up momentarily while relating that family's situation.
The task force was there to help the family, as well as the roughly 15,000 other people per year it helps who need emergency services, said Lindig, coordinator for the Sept. 13 Sassy Soiree, a major annual fundraiser for the task force.
And that's why she hopes people will be interested in attending the fundraiser. She said the task force is one of the few human service organizations in this area. And the task force, among those organizations, is the one that is a kind of a one-stop-shopping help center of emergency services — providing food, housing, short-term help with utilities bills and other services from their Castle Rock headquarters at 1638 Park St.
That's the main reason. The other reason to attend is because the event, the Sassy Soiree, is great fun, she says. There will be auctions, a fashion show, luncheon, clothing and jewelry boutiques. Some items are donated - such as cases of wine from local wine sellers, gift cards and golf excursions. But many of the items are treasures found from the task force's thrift shop that volunteers have put aside for months for this event. Things like mink coats - like the one knee-length coat that sold for $200 at last year's event. And the diamond ring that a man bought for his fiancée for $100.
The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 13 at the Douglas County Events Center on the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Tickets are $45, or $400 for a table of eight. The deadline to buy tickets is Sept. 6.
To buy tickets or get more information, call Kathy at 303-688-1114 at Ext. 14.

Utah is joining not only the United States, but the World to commemorate the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001. Patriot's Day, as President Bush has named it, will be celebrated each year. This year, Governor Leavitt has announced the three word theme of the day: Remembrance, Unity, and Resolve.
"Remembrance" for the lives lost and the horrific times this nation endured one year ago.
"Unity" for the way not only Utahns, but all Americans came together in the aftermath to demonstrate our patriotism.
"Resolve" for the determination to keep the patriotism strong and visible in our lives.
Beginning on Sept 10 at 10 p.m. at the State Capitol Building, the flag will be lowered to half staff. Then at 9:45 a.m. on Sept. 11, Governor Leavitt will lead the State in a moment of silence. This will be followed by a ceremony to honor the rescue workers and declaring this as Patriot's Day. He also suggests that everyone drive with their car lights on as a symbol of remembrance.
At 10 p.m., that evening there will be a memorial service at the Capitol Building and the flag will again be raised to full staff. This memorial will outline the hopes for the future as well as reflect on the past.
Governor Leavitt is urging all Utah citizens to not only reflect on the events of Sept. 11, 2001, but to show your civic pride by doing acts of patriotism and kindness throughout the week. A website has been set up for citizens to register their thoughts, feelings and reflections and to recognize some of the displays of kindness at firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's kind of hilarious to see how fashion designers insert themselves into geeky series. Just like with Bella Swan's wedding dress for Breaking Dawn, Part 1, famous designers like Christian Siriano and Charlotte Ronson have now offered up their sketches for Katniss Everdeen's "girl on fire" dress in The Hunger Games. It's the gown that Cinna (Lenny Kravitz) designs that helps her make such a splash in the Capitol and which sets her apart as fierce and powerful.
Here's the rub: We've already seen Katniss' fire dress, modeled by Jennifer Lawrence in the Hunger Games trailer. So these are coming a little late in the game; costume designer Judianna Makovsky has gone with a red theme, it appears. Interestingly, no one seems to have acknowledged the series' description of light-reflecting jewels that make Katniss dazzle. But let's play along and see what the other designers would've done if given the chance.

Giving Israeli Students an Extra Push This Fall
This new pilot program takes a comprehensive approach to helping students falling through the cracks.
This new pilot program takes a comprehensive approach to helping students falling through the cracks.
For Tzipi (Nechama) Zipper, the February 2011 twist of fate that left her wheelchair-bound with a chronic pain condition did not sap her spirit. Instead, it turned the indomitable 25-year-old into something of a superhero, defying stereotypes and overcoming barriers every day with boundless enthusiasm and the help of JDC's Centers for Independent Living (CIL), community-based multi-service centers for Israelis with disabilities.
Five years ago, "Tali" and her sister were removed from their home by the Israeli court system after sustaining injuries at the hand of their abusive father. Their mother, weak and unable to provide for them, was denied custody, and the pair was placed in a boarding school when extended family turned down the girls because of the stigma associated with the court action.
When 46 Cuban Jews traveled to Israel this summer to participate in the Maccabiah Games, it wasn't just the first time the island nation had sent athletes to what's been described as the "Jewish Olympics." It was also the largest delegation sent "to represent who they are proud to be: Cuban Jews," said Luciano Jaimovich and Alejandra Kotilar, JDC's professional team in Cuba.
Two years ago, Odet, 19, was in the midst of a deep personal crisis. Born and raised in a Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community in Jerusalem, she was finishing school and looking ahead at the next chapter of her life—one that would imminently lead to marriage and children.
Mila A., 24, loves her job. Every day she helps immigrants set out on their life's course at the very same JDC Center for Young Adults where she was once received help on her own challenging journey, which has now come full circle.
Young Israelis in JDC's Afikim program benefit from both individual mentorship and group workshops that help them gain self-assurance, develop professional skills, and learn real-life problem-solving strategies.
"When I first heard about the JDC-NFTE entrepreneurship program I didn't think it was for a girl like me—I never considered going into business," says 16-year-old Rahhef, an Israeli Arab teen who lives in an impoverished Arab village in northern Israel. "But now that I've completed the program I'm in love with the world of business and I'm open to so many new possibilities."
Fakhera was only 15 when her father lost his job and she dropped out of school to help her family of nine survive. Find out how JDC's Turning Point program helped this Israeli at-risk teen gain business acumen and get on track to success.
Shmuel worried that his withdrawn teenage son Dror was on the brink of self-destructive behavior. Learn how a JDC father and son basketball program got Dror and his teammates off the street and onto the court.

고객 사용 후기 - 영국
The easiest software of any description I have ever used. To be able to view within a few minutes your total analysis of the round just played is a fantastic element of the programme and worth every penny of the cost.
i've tried a load before but this is the daddy. easy to set up, esay to use and by far the best.. does what you want it do and there are more things of others.
This is a must get app for any golfer! It will take score off your handicap,as it's so reliable & can pinpoint exactly where you are anywhere on the course!! Statistic wise it's really handy to see where your going wrong or right with your game!! Worth every penny!!!! :))
I was a bit unsure of this app and the price and whether to buy or not HOWEVER I am so glad I did. There are so many Golf GPS out there costing so much more and this one will do the same. Top App
Does exactly what you need. Accurate as well when compared to a skycaddy.
It a great app that all golfers can utilise to capture scores and to track stats and overall progress. Great value and since the OS5 update the GPS works a treat
For £20.99 it's brill .. This Does it all !!! score / distance / photos of holes on your course, Any golfer will improve with this, No more guess work. And my iPhone 4 lasts for 36 holes on a full charge. It's really Worth it. But you can spend £130 on something similar ....... If you like lol
Really useful for beginners to get a bit of extra info around the course
Superb product! I love it!
Was a bit hesitant to buy this at first but I must say it is awesome. It's genuinely helped me drop a few shots as I know exactly how far I need to lay up or hit the green. Buy it!!!!
Such a great app. So many courses, even used it when I went to portugal. So accurate sometimes takes a second to catch up with you if youve locked your phone other than that it's amazing.
Great app that will save u paying out for other makes of golf gps. Iv used this app for about 30 rounds now and no problem at all. Even check it against my freinds £300 gps every now and again for yardage and it is spot on... This is a must buy for any golfer.. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
If you play golf, down load it.
I was sceptical of all golf gps systems at first, but a round with my friend who downloaded this app changed all that immediately. Since buying and installing it hasn't shattered my score by much (only I can do that) but it has made me stop and think about club selection, laying up instead of going for the green every time and hazard avoidance. I guess it's the old adage of course management, even on courses you play every week you make silly decisions that cost you shots and anything that stops that can only help. Yes it does eat battery power, but download your fave courses via wifi at home and that helps. Also I bought a casemate battery case and this leaves more than enough juice in the tank.
Great golf GPS rangefinder. I have found the support guys brilliant too. You email these guys and they get back to you within 24 hrs with solutions and confirmation of scorecard changes etc. Rangefinder seems very accurate. App does munch the battery power, but the iPhone 3GS is poor on battery power anyway. Will easily last 18 holes if you switch off Wi-fi, and 3G.
Exceptional app and it keeps getting better. How anyone can moan about the price amazes me. Stableford man - I encountered the same problem, but fixed it in 10 seconds - check your settings: it works perfectly. My only reason for withholding the 5th star is because I'd like the app to remember, course by course, which club I used on each hole the previous time of playing that same course. There is an inferior competitor which offers that useful add-on. JB.
Was using this app while my friend was using a sky caddie, every time we compared, the distances were the same, I have had no problems with this app. A must for any golfer with an iPhone!!

Great app. Well worth the money
Sure this app may seem expensive, but it sure does make up for it on the course! The app has a huge amount of courses in its database, with accurate score cards.
amazing Gps, love the new tracking and club average features! would it be possible to incorporate team games such as 4BBB and match play into the app?
Love it !!
Well worth the money and so easy to use. I was surprised at the accuracy
I bought my iPhone because of this app. It has taken at least 5shots off my game. Don't be put off by the price worth every penny. Just charge your phone before you use it!!!!

Skip to comments.Liberal media love new Jesus book 'Zealot', fail to mention author is Muslim
Posted on 07/24/2013 1:25:13 PM PDT by arthurus
Reza Aslan, author of the new book, Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth has been interviewed on a host of media outlets in the last week. Riding a publicity wave, the book has surged to #2 on Amazon's list.
Media reports have introduced Aslan as a religion scholar but have failed to mention that he is a devout Muslim.
His book is not a historians report on Jesus. It is an educated Muslims opinion about Jesus -- yet the book is being peddled as objective history on national TV and radio.
Aslan is not a trained historian.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
But it's all about feelings ...who cares if it's accurate.
In reality, there is zero evidence of any kind to suggest that He was engaged in a political struggle.
The entire book begins with the assumption - based on nothing - that the Gospels must be the opposite of what He really was.
The book says nothing that has not been said one thousand times before.
It does not rise to the level of boring.
Mohammed says He was not the Son of God so the devout muslims repeat the warlord's cult writings.
Muslims making up lies....what else is new
The left would really love to eliminate Christianity and replace it with a bloodthirsty culture of headchopping and rape of women.
Sorta like Zimmerman not being Jewish, but later determined
to be a new catagory of "Hispanic/ white" by the 'New World Media'
Muslims believe that Jesus was just an ordinary prophet, and that if he were alive today he'd be a Muslim. They say the bible was corrupted and reports the events incorrectly. They especially attribute this to Paul, who they say is a liar. This is because the Bible and the Koran are conflicting texts, and one of them must be wrong. Therefore it has to be the Bible, right?
Mohammed would be Weiner's beard.
His take on the subject is agnostic.
A believing Muslim would describe Jesus as being a misunderstood precursor to Muhammed, not as a political revolutionary.
He's as secularized as he is born again Christian (which he also once claimed).
Ironically his parents opposed his conversion to Christianity then his mama converted and remains one.
Maybe he's trying to get back at his parents eight was from Sunday.
Wouldn't a devout Muslim actually be offended by this? They claim Jesus is a profit to them, and supposedly the no. 2 prophet, and he is supposed to return to earth and break the cross. Couldn't Muslims go all Satanic Verses on him for besmirching their faith? He better watch out, he could be the target of a fatwa.
No, they will get rid of Muslims later, when they outlive their usefulness.
No, they will get rid of Muslims later, when they outlive their usefulness.
No, I think he actually is secularized as opposed to Christian. His rhetoric in this book is from the viewpoint of "progressivism" not jihadism.
Maybe hes trying to get back at his parents eight was from Sunday.
I think you have hit the nail square on the head with that one.
sorry when you use the term Persian I only think of those who supported the Shah. So let's cut the crapola. This is another slam at Christianity and it's fundamental tenet by one who claims to be muslim....ideologue or not.
There are four chapters in the Bible that tell me all I need to know about Jesus.
Jesus was not a Palestinian revolutionary when He said, "My kingdom is not of this world" and, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's", or to Pilate, "Your authority is given unto you by God".
BTW, Reza Aslan is not to be trusted on this or any other subject.
Four Books, maybe?
You could probably go with one if you only take the first chapter of John.
I long for this day, For the Scriptures say, "'As surely as I live,' says the LORD, every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will confess and give praise to God.'"
Roman 14:11
Please, LORD, just come quickly!
Oh, wait minute...
I typed books but changed it to chapters. And I don't know why. Maybe I was thinking about one chapter from each book that says He is risen.
According to Pamela Geller (who's dealt with him repeatedly), he has a hardon for Islam as does our current president. "Secular" visionary or not.
If by "Secularized" you mean an apologist for the governmnet of Iran who appeals to retarded secularists.

Drudge's Upside-Down Bin Laden: What Does It Mean?
Linking to a report about Osama bin Laden's latest audio message, the Drudge Report uses an upside-down image of the terrorist leader's face. In his infinite wit and wisdom, Matt Drudge is trying to tell us something. But what?
Five theories:
- 1. Matt Drudge has subverted the principles of black magic to exorcize the demon of bin Laden from the world. ExposingSatanism.org explains the logic of upside-down symbology:
UPSIDE DOWN CROSS Symbolizes mockery and rejection of Jesus. Necklaces are worn by many satanist's. It can be seen on Rock singers and their album covers.
- By turning the human incarnation of Satan upside down, Drudge has created an amulet of protection. Should Osama attack, the Drudge Report will be the garlic to his vampire and drive him away from America. Like a silver bullet, we may use the Drudge Report to kill him.
- 2. At the climax of the first Harry Potter book, Professor Quirrell removes his turban, revealing a tiny Lord Voldemort on the back of his head. Matt Drudge is concerned that the same thing may be happening to bin Laden. It's a bit like Magic Eye: If you stare at upside-down Osama long enough, Voldemort will pop right out at you.
- 3. If he didn't put bin Laden upside down, we might accidentally think he liked terrorism. Liberal media make this mistake all the time.
- 4. Human error
- 5. Whimsy

Capitol Peak (14,137 feet) in the Elk Mountains near Aspen, Colorado, is a tottering Jenga pile of frost-heaved rock considered by many to be the state's most difficult 14er. Capitol's notoriety is primarily derived from the Knife Edge, a 150-foot verge of polished granite that any summiteer on the Northeast Ridge must negotiate. It's not hard. ...30-Jul-2014

What do you get when you cross 80s Brooklyn with Brussels? A Dries Van Noten collection with a lesson in tough, elegant, and easy mod dressing for men. Dies Van Noten's Spring/Summer 2011 mostly neutral looks were revved up with paint splattered tops as well as "snow-washed" denim—a must-have for the Spring/Summer season. Classic check patterns in form of trousers and blazers give the collection a more grown up touch. Dries signature cozy knits are given a rougher appeal with a few splatters which makes for standout looks.
Precise tailoring, peak shoulders, slub, along with classic topcoats make for the perfect mod influences. Combat style boots give the over all look a definite edge. Though lacking a bit of the romance that has come to be part of the Dries signature, the over all aesthetic of the collection makes for a perfect combination of elegance and oomph. Ideal for the guy who wants a bit of both worlds!

Planting began in 1988 with Pinot Noir vines planted tightly spaced at a density of about 2200 plants to the acre. Currently the vines range in age from 3 to 12 years and are a mixture of own-rooted Pommard and Wädenswil clones and various of the new Dijon clones on phylloxera-resistant rootstocks.
This new parcel is located a good spoon-mashie-niblick combination as the golf ball flies northwest from heart of The Beaux Frères Vineyard. The 'Upper Terrace' vineyard is ten plantable acres of southeast-facing hillsides of Willakenzie soils at elevations similar to those of The Beaux Frères Vineyard. Eight of the ten acres are currently planted to various of the new Dijon clones of Pinot Noir. We look for good things to come from this new parcel beginning with the 2002 vintage.
