|Babolat Xcel String Scores
|String Movement
|Playability Duration
Packed with a bundle of shock absorbing filaments and loaded with stretchy polyurethane, Babolat Xcel is a gift to the tendons and joints of tennis players. Needless to say, the first thing our playtest team discovered about this very popular multifilament was the comfortable feel. To our surprise, however, we didn't experience the unwieldy power level that big hitters often encounter with soft multis. In fact, our two big swinging polyester players, Chris and Brittany, found Xcel to have above average control for such a flexible string. The increased control came partly from a recent durability upgrade, which gives this string a tougher construction and a slightly crisper (as opposed to mushier) response. As for spin, Xcel did not provide our playtesters with the vicious bite and ball rotation of their favorite polys, so higher tensions and increased concentration were needed to bring the ball down sharply. Ultimately, Xcel gave us exceptional comfort and feel. The fact that it also felt more crisp and precise than many of its peers was a nice bonus.
Though our team definitely found a decent level of power with Xcel, neither of our playtesters reported problems with overhitting. Even Chris, who normally plays with deader strings, settled into a groove with this one. He said, "While Xcel offers good power compared with many strings, I would say it is somewhat lower powered than other multifilaments. Sure, there's more zip off the stringbed than synthetic gut and poly-based strings, but there are other multifilaments that offer more power. For me, the power level was very good. It allowed me to take a good cut at the ball, and I did not feel as if I had to hold back on my strokes like I do with some multifilaments. All said and done, getting depth and pace was easy with this string. I never felt like I had to work hard to hit hard, and I liked the power I was getting."
Brittany also found Xcel to play with a little less power than the typical multifilament. She said, "During this playtest I had to get used to playing again with a full stringbed of multifilament string. I normally hit with either a full bed of polyester or a hybrid of the two. When I have playtested multis I have noticed how much more powerful they are than polys, and it took me a little more time to get used to the power. However, I found Xcel to be less powerful than some of the other multis I have playtested. Now don't get me wrong, there is definitely power there, but not as much as I expected. I would say it probably ranks as one of the lowest powered multis I have hit with."
Xcel is not designed to offer the bite and snapback of a firm poly. However, the relatively low powered response allowed Chris to swing faster and get some nice spin. He said, "I found decent spin with this string. While it is far from poly-like in its grab and spin, the lower power level made it more spin-friendly for me than other multis. I was able to swing faster without fear of overhitting, and that allowed me to supply more of the power and spin to my shots. I also found that the spin improved with higher tensions because it allowed me to swing faster. I liked the bite I was getting from the string at a higher tension."
Brittany could have used a little more spin, explaining, "My game style doesn't necessarily rely on spin, but I do need some to keep my flatter shots in the court. With this multifilament string there really wasn't that much spin to work with. I had to make a conscious effort to add extra spin to my ball, especially when hitting aggressive groundstrokes, to keep my balls from flying."
More than any other feature, it was the comfort of Xcel that impressed our team the most. Even at the high end of the tension range, Brittany enjoyed a large sweetspot and comfy feel. She said, "Comfort is one of the characteristics that stood out to me on this playtest. This string was very comfortable when I hit the sweetspot or closer to the frame. I wasn't having any issues even when I increased the tension up to the low 60s. Additionally, I really enjoyed the feel of this string. I was able to playtest both the natural and blue colors, and I found the blue color to feel just a little crisper, which I preferred."
For Chris, this string was comfortably crisp. He said, "This was a very, very comfortable string. I thought it pocketed the ball very well and offered a nice, comfortable response. The feel was not as muted as Wilson NXT or Tecnifibre NRG2, but even with its crisper response this is a very, very comfortable string. Even when I missed the sweetspot the string offered enough give to make contact comfortable. At higher tensions the stringbed was firmer than with natural gut, but it still felt comfortable."
Perhaps the most surprising part of our playtest was the level of control we got from Xcel. To be clear, this soft multi did not give us the low powered, ultra predictable response we get from polys like Gosen Polylon or Kirschbaum Super Smash. However, it worked better than expected for Brittany's huge strokes. She said, "Now with most multifilaments, the first thing I say is that there is a ton of power and they are in need of control. However, with Xcel I found more control than I had anticipated. While it doesn't have the control of a poly, it definitely had enough to keep me satisfied."
"The level of control was decent for me," said Chris, who took advantage of Xcel's comfort to string it tighter for more control. "I was very happy with the touch and feel on drop shots. I had to be more careful when looking to hit with pace because I'm used to the deader response of polys. However, the adjustment wasn't too great and stringing Xcel tighter added a lot more control. I also hit the string in some mid-sized racquets with dense string patterns, and I thought the comfort and power were the perfect complements to a very control-oriented racquet."
Although Xcel didn't give us the durability of a polyester, we had no real complaints about the playability duration. Brittany noticed some changes over time, but she was ultimately satisfied. She said, "After the first two days of hitting (about two hours), I did notice a slight change in playability. There was just a slight decrease in tension and it didn't affect my game. However, for the next two weeks I thought the string maintained its characteristics, including feel and comfort, up until the end of the playtest. I thought it was very comparable in duration to similar multis I have hit with."
Agreeing with Brittany, Chris said, "After some initial tension drop I found the string to feel pretty consistent right up until it broke. Depending on the racquet and the vigor of my practice sessions, I get anywhere from a week to two weeks of hitting before I break it. That length of durability is right in there with what I would expect from other multis like NXT and NRG2."
Chris - "I liked the feel and comfort the most."
Brittany - "I liked the comfort and feel of this string."
Chris - "None."
Brittany - "There was nothing I really disliked about the string, but I always appreciate more spin potential."
Chris - "This string is comparable to NXT and NRG2, but offers a tad less power for me. It is not as crisp and lively as Tecnifibre X-One Biphase, but it does offer a nice crisp feel with a controllable level of power."
Brittany - "I would compare it to Tecnifibre X-One Biphase on several levels. Both are very comfortable to play with and have a very crisp feel. I would say that X-One Biphase is much more powerful, and Xcel is more control-oriented."

Wakehurst car parking — your questions answered
Please note that parking is free for all day paying visitors to Wakehurst, for Friends of Wakehurst and for Friends of Kew.
We very much appreciate the support shown by visitors and National Trust members who have continued to visit Wakehurst during this period of change.
We also acknowledge that for others the introduction of car parking charges has elicited a strong response. We understand that many feel a very personal connection to Wakehurst and we would ask that they consider channeling that passion into helping us ensure that Wakehurst thrives and survives.
The decision to introduce car parking charges was not taken lightly, and the National Trust and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew worked together for five years to explore the options available to us so that Wakehurst could begin to benefit from direct income from all of its visitors.
Prior to the introduction of parking charges, the vast majority (80%) of Wakehurst's visitors accessed the gardens for free with National Trust membership. However, it is not free to run Wakehurst and we have a responsibility to operate it sustainably, in a manner that will ensure it continues to be a beautiful, educational, world-class garden and conservation site for future generations to enjoy.
Why we have introduced parking charges
Parking charges at Wakehurst were introduced in April 2014 in order to secure a sustainable future for the gardens.
Wakehurst is owned by the National Trust and Kew has maintained the gardens and woodlands through a lease since 1965. An endowment left to the National Trust contributes £80,000 a year to Wakehurst but, despite income from commercial activities contributing £750,000, Kew is still left with an annual deficit of £1.4 million, which is not sustainable.
The charging model allows Kew to directly link its income to the number of visitors. This, in turn, will enable us to invest in the long-term future of the landscape and visitor offer.
For details of the parking charges, please see our Wakehurst car parking charges page.
Latest FAQ
Q: Why do the parking signs not highlight the pricing structure?
A: Placement and content of signage was carefully considered and is now adequate, accurate and conforms to statutory guidelines. Each sign location has been carefully chosen to maximise the flow of traffic from the main highway and through the barriers at Wakehurst. We have ensured that visitors who decide they do not wish to pay for parking have enough time to leave the car park as the first 30 minutes are free.
Q: Why are there parking charges for blue badge holders?
A: Free parking for visitors with blue badges is not a legal requirement. However, Wakehurst makes adequate parking provision for our visitors with disabilities by providing parking adjacent to the nearest entry point, and we provide more spaces than required by statute.
Q: Why are you charging £10 for parking?
A: Parking is free for Friends of Wakehurst, Friends of Kew and visitors purchasing a day ticket.
For visitors who hold National Trust membership and do not wish to become a Friend of Wakehurst, the parking charges are on a sliding scale:
• Free for the first 30 minutes
• £2 for the first hour and a half
• £5 for two and a half hours
• £10 per day
Please note these charges are per vehicle, not per person.
These price points were set as a result of consultation with a representative sample of National Trust Wakehurst visitors. 40,000 email surveys were sent out to National Trust members who live within one hour's drive of Wakehurst.
Q: Is there a 'Family Friend of Wakehurst' option available?
A: Children under 17 years of age accompanying an adult are admitted free to Wakehurst. Please see our 'Friends of Wakehurst' information.
Q: Why should National Trust members who already pay for National Trust membership be expected to pay for membership for a National Trust site?
A: Wakehurst does not receive any direct income from our visitors who hold National Trust membership. Kew could no longer continue to absorb the costs of running Wakehurst when most of our regular visitors (80%) accessed the garden free with their National Trust membership.
Wakehurst does, however, benefit directly from the Friends of Wakehurst. We have found that once our visitors understand the urgent need to raise income for Wakehurst, they are keen to support us.
Q: As Wakehurst is leased to Kew Gardens, is there any benefit to being a National Trust member if I visit?
A: National Trust members do not have to pay the standard entry ticket cost of £12.50, but National Trust members do have to pay to park. This free entry for National Trust members is even more beneficial when they are car sharing.
Q: Will you consider dropping parking charges?
A: We do not plan to reverse the introduction of parking charges.
Q: Why has free 30 minutes parking been introduced?
A: The 30 minutes free parking allows those who do not wish to pay for parking ample time to leave the car park site safely.
Q: Why was a barrier system chosen rather than pay and display?
A: We evaluated the options available to us and came to the conclusion that the barrier system was the most cost effective way of us investing in the infrastructure needed to make parking charges.
A barrier system also has the benefit of ensuring it is very clear to visitors that car parking charges apply.

BLM administered public lands in the Rock Springs area contain nearly 600 miles of streams and rivers. They range from those that flow only intermittently early in the spring and summer to relatively large rivers such as the Green River. The major reservoirs in the area are Flaming Gorge, Fontenelle, and Big Sandy. Most of the smaller streams contain only non-game fish like speckled dace, fathead minnow, mottled sculpin or bonneville redside shiner. Larger streams, such as the Green River, Big Sandy River, Little Sandy River, Sweetwater River and others contain game fish which could include rainbow, brown, brook or cutthroat trout, kokanee salmon and mountain whitefish. The large reservoirs may also contain these species along with lake trout, channel catfish and smallmouth bass.
There are some fish species that are considered sensitive due to low population numbers. These include the colorado river cutthroat trout, flannelmouth sucker, bluehead sucker, and roundtail chub. Special fishing regulations are in place by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department for the colorado river cutthroat trout in an effort to increase the population. Fishing regulations, seasons and fees may be viewed on the Wyoming Game & Fish web site.
Public lands here provide thousands of fisherman-days worth of recreation and many fishing streams are easily accessible. However, access to public lands may be gained only on public roads or on routes having public easements. All public lands intersected by a public road may be used by the general public free of charge. Public lands surrounded by private land with no public access may not be used without permission from the private landowner.
The Ashley and Bridger-Teton National Forests are located adjacent to the Rock Springs Field Office boundary and provide excellent fishing opportunities, particularly in high elevation mountain stream and lake fishing and at Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Here are web sites for the Ashley National Forest and the web site for the Wind River portion of the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
The Sweetwater River provides many opportunities for fishing and camping.

- Brief Synopsis:
- Biological weapons have been discovered in two sunken World War II Japanese submarines, and Dirk Pitt and his children Dirk and Summer must prevent them from being used against the United States.
- Long Synopsis:
- In the waning days of World War II, unbeknownst to all but a handful of people, the Japanese tried a last, desperate measure. Two submarines were sent to the West Coast of the United States, their cargo a revolutionary new strain of biological virus, their mission to unleash hell. Neither sub made it to the designated target. But that does not mean they were lost. Someone knows about the subs and what they carried, knows too where they might be, and has an extraordinary plan in mind for the prize inside-- a plan that could reshape America, and the world, as we know it. All that stands in the way are three people: a marine biologist named Summer, a marine engineer named Dirk ... and their father, Dirk Pitt, the new head of NUMA. Pitt has faced devastating enemies before, has even teamed up with his children to track them down. But never has he encountered such pure evil-- until now.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
The common theme of discussion at the April Huntington city council meeting was improvements to the infrastructure of the city. The big project that is imminent in the city is the reconstruction of 300 East between 300 North and 400 North and of 400 North between 400 West and 500 West. Also being rebuilt this year is 550 West from 400 North to 500 North. The blocks will have the roads rebuilt, curb and gutter installed and sidewalks installed. The city received a CIB grant to cover half the cost of these projects.
The city is having power poles in the city in moved in conjunction with these projects plus the city council voted to install street lighting on 550 West.
The nearly year old project of putting sidewalks around town is nearly at an end as the contractor doing the work is on the last couple of blocks that were part of the bid.
Work on the city pavilion located in the city park has started. The old pavilion came crashing down due to snow build up this past winter. When finished, the new structure should be an improvement over the old building. The city council discussed putting metal roofing on the smaller pavilion and the building used for cooking breakfast.
The zoning administrator reported that an old house located on 200 North and 200 East has been removed and the lot cleaned up. It was also reported that an old singlewide mobile home located on 200 East has also been taken down. The administrator also reported that he is sending out several more letters to property owners in Huntington to clean up their property that have numerous old cars, old trailers, old appliances, weeds to the excess and other items that do not meet city ordinances.
The city discussed travel reimbursement and per diem amounts for city employees, councilmen and the mayor when they are away on city business. The city currently uses the IRS guidelines for mileage and travelers have their choice of being paid a per diem or of being reimbursed for expenses. No changes were made to the policy.
The county food bank approached the city about using the old city hall building while their new building is being constructed. Approval by the city council was given for such a use.

Code Geass in this BITCH! This companion story will redeem the Japanese after a craptacular summer season.
Code Geass in this BITCH! This companion story will redeem the Japanese after a craptacular summer season.
The creator of Escaflowne is supposedly at the helm so I'm not entirely worried about whether or not it can retain the quality of its predecessors from a directional pov. My issue is the length. I heard it's going to be four OVAs and that's about it.
Everyone, I know you were waiting for this, so here you have it :
The Autumn 2012 Anime Preview
Works worth noticing/interesting:
- Kamisama Kiss - I heard that this is an awesome Shoujou, might check it out ,
- Magi - ... ,
- PSYCHO-PASS - the name and the pic is quite appealing ,
- Hatate no Gotoku! I Can't Take My Eyes Off You - it's Hayate (seems like it is closer to the second one), although I'm not sure why they have made another, completely new one (it's the 3rd restart ;P ?)...
- Monsuno - might check it out,
- Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shhitai! - sounds interesting,
- Zetsuen no Tempest - this is quite a mayor player from what I heard, you better check it out,
- Jormungand 2 - first season was good,
- CODE:BREAKER - it's all you need to knows to watch it ,
- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure The animation - this is a new anime adaptation of the classic manga,
- Shin Sekai Yori - sounds interesing,
- Bakuman 3 - yep .
I will probably check more of them anyway .
- Accel World,
- The World God Only Knows,
- Inou x Boku SS,
- Kore wa Zombie Desu ka ?
- as to Code Geas Gaiden... I think that I will wait until all 4 episode are out and subbed,
- Tiger & Bunny Movie 1: The Beginning - I'm not quite sure what it will be about (that fat hero, or ?), but it is Tiger and Bunny ;D, what's more the number 1 in the movie's name suggest that there will be other ,
- Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo - it's about damn time .
I might check more of it .
Edit: Reposted a new pic, since the last one disappeared ... well actually it's an updated version of the previous one .
Last edited by Zero; 10-05-2012 at 11:20 AM.
Yep, it's this time of season, to put out the new and up coming Anime/OVA/ODA/Special/Movies .
First of a link (for a bigger version):
and now an image:
I will start with saying that I'm actually more anticipating the movies coming out soon rather than the series , so I will start with them :
<-> Movies (I'm going to watch):
- we have 2 bakemonogatari movies (both of them are prequels from I know),
- Berserk Golden Age part 3,
- Toaru Majutsu no Index (though I would prefer a new season instead... the novel is already at part 2 for some time now),
- and other maybe.
<-> BD/DVD/OVA/Special:
- I will probably only watch those of the series that I liked anyway , probably even less.
<-> Series (worth checking/seem interesting ?):
- Savanna Game, standard kill them all, in game-style, with magic, story, but with added time-travel from what I heard,
- Ore no Kanajo... might check it out,
- Bakumatsu... as above, but less interested for now,
- Senyu, hmmmmmm, I wonder...,
- Boku wa Tomodachi... I have watched the first season, so I will watch this one as well (they might even do a spin-off later on),
- Sasami-san... from what I understood, It's about NEET girl, who is a master stalker of her brother from her PC, that uses some bizarre system to spy on her brothers life and romance, how could I not check it out ;p ?
- Mondai-Ji... maybe or not,
- Beast Saga, this sounds to me like some reboot of an certain old series, but I'm not sure,
- Hakkended... probably not,
- Cucticle Detective... maybe, since there is little to no good anime with werewolfs... well, I can't name any at least ... well maybe beside Dance in the Vampire B..., it was alright, but the adaptation could have been much better,
- Tamako Market, you can read it as K-ON Alternative, if you like... it will be strange if I check it out ,
- Maoyuu Mao Yuusha, you can notice trailers of it in my signature, so yeah I will check it out, let's hope it is a great adaptation,
- Amnesia, maybe,
- Mangirl!, perhaps,
- Train Hero, who knows ?
I mentioned a few more series than I thought , still, there are only few that I will check out for sure, the rest are maybe at best.
Ops, looks like there was a mistake. The Nekomonogatari: Kuro, is actually a third season and not a movie (an adaptation of the 6th book in the Monogatari series). This means that Kizumonogatari will be the only prequel movie... I think . Anyway, hooray for the 3rd season . Oh I almost forgot, there are already 4 episodes in raw on the net...

Hi guys, it's me again posting in this thread, which means that I bring you a preview of the animes for the next season . Of course, since it is so soon, there might be some changes to it, but for now, drool at and dream of the upcoming anime series in spring .
SPRING ANIME 2013 CHART (march to may)
Worth mentioning are:
- Arata Kangatari - it's an adaption of a shonen manga series spewing over 200 chapter and still ongoing from what I remember ,
- Shingeki no Kyojin - an adaptation of a quite awesome seinen manga, we have a thread about it with anime trailer of it in it ,
- Dansei Bunri no Crime Edge - sounds interesting,
- Karneval - ah, I remember a shoujo manga of it, it has light yaoi themes if I remember correctly,
- Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko - ah yes, I remember this, it was quite fun to read a manga about it. It has romance, supernatural and comedy,
- Devil Survivor 2 - it's an adaptation of an awesome DS game (belonging to the Shin Megami Tensei franchise); quite shocking that they went all over to the second game, then again they aren't really related,
- Suisei no Galgantia - seems like a mecha anime, but might be closer to Escaflone,
- Ginga Kikotai - from the looks of it, it's Macross Frontier combined with Infinity Stratos,
- Hataraku - people are quite eagerly anticipating it for some reason, from what I have noticed, it is a comedy,
- Hayate no Gotoku - a fourth season, which means that hopefully they will return to the way they were doing the second season,
- Date A Live - ah this, yes I remember this as well (wow, what's going on with this spring season ), it might turn to be quite interesting, hard to say since I have read only a few chapters of it,
- Ore no Imouto (Oreimo) second season - I liked the first one, especially when the sister went abroad, so I will most likely watch this one as well ,
- RDG: Red Data Girl - I might check it out,
- Kakumeiki Valvrave - even thought this is supposedly an original work, it does look familiar , might check it out since it looks like Macross Frontier fused with Gundam 00,
- Yahari- if this is what I think it is, then this might turn out to be pretty awesome .
This spring season is strong, well the spring season is normally strong compared to the rest of the year, but even as a spring season it does seem strong. Let's hope that there will only be changes for the better .
I hardly watch anime these days which is sad but Attack on Titan & Majestic Prince seem promising.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
I know or rather heard they had the HSDK ova's to test the waters for a re intro/ continuation. Any news on ratings? and the possibility of it coming back with more episodes?

|brain: What a line.
rest of self: Take me now, Soumitra.
I had no idea what to expect of it going in because I haven't been able to find a single opinion about it online in English (though I did see something labeled "review" in Bengali on a torrent site). Maybe because the film is so straightforward and simple people haven't felt there's much to say about it. I also know nothing about what would have been hoped or expected of its director (Ajoy Kar), music director (Kalipada Sen), writer, etc. when it was made almost fifty years ago. Maybe some of you can tell me whether the film was overlooked when it was released.
Aloka (Sharmila) has a family who supports her becoming an accomplished adult, letting her stay up late at night studying and having no issues with her socializing with this kind man they've all just met. I don't know if I'm actually right about this, but Aparna in Apur Sansar seems so much a girl and not a woman until the very end; there's something more mature and well-rounded, solid, stable about Aloka. She is a young woman of deliberation and principle and carefulness, one who speaks her mind and is adult enough to admit when she's wrong.
None of this is to say that I think there is any intended reflection on Apur Sansar by Barnali; it's just that seeing Sharmila and Soumitra's faces makes me think of that indelible film and their beautiful work together.
|Which is still not an excuse for staring at her in the middle of the night while she's studying.
There are even more ways I could rave about Barnali, like its reflection on particular social values, its purposeful quietness, and its lovely music.* Instead, out of concern of swamping it (or preaching about it so much I drive you away), I'll just finish by saying it is thoughtful, sweet, sad (but not at the very end, of course!), and delightful. Watch it on Angel Video's youtube channel here.
PS And because the world needs more pictures of this vintage of Soumitra Chatterjee in a suit....
|And here, I've even got a non-shallow reason to include it. It shows how well this movie does at saying things visually. Look at the contrast in these two characters: upright, smooth, in command; squashed, disheveled, ridiculous.

Comments about Oasis OH-19 Fingernail Shaper:
this is an inexpensive, effective tool. i use no picks, play for an hour or two most days, and somewhat aggressively; so an emory board is always close by. this thing is great for smoothing out the nails' edges, especially on my strumming hand.
one of the four surfaces could be a bit more abrasive; but that's not a deal-breaker. pick one up.

Comments about Oasis OH-19 Fingernail Shaper:
I bought one when i was experimenting with artificial nails, nailplektors, filing and polishing. It isn't at all what the headline say, and therfore i didn't rate it "functional". But it's the final touches of a good polishing, it does that well, so i couldn't rate it "not functional" either. And i'm here to get 3 more for traveling gear and reserve.
The first still work fine, and seem able to survive in my bathroom for years before wear will become an isue of importance.
I work on dry nails and use rough diamond file for sizing and shaping. Then fine grained glass file with finer diamond for aditional trimming the shape and smoothing the grinded surface. Working on the underside of the nail on the pickside, and on the front side of the nail on the stroke side - because my nails grow in spoon shape, and working in those angels let me shape the edge leading up to the point of release, so it bends away from the release - as oposed to bending towards it like a hook.
Nails come in various shapes, another extreme is chiselshape, and you have to develop your own mechanikal shaping depending on your grown shape, and the teknikes you use to pick, pluck strike and hit or whatever you do.
This is as far a rookie need to go. Experiment with the shapes and size, (note you can't grow long nails if you work hard and have fragile nails like me. We just need to be more precise with shorter nails). Get a good routine fretting your chords, and esperiment with the fingers atacking until you get a good sound.
Having that you can go further, not by buying a more expensive guitar, since polishing nails will give much more improvment in the sound for much less money.
An expensive guitar is waist of money if you play it with worn strings and rough nails.
A good shape of nails is escential to finger playing techniks, but you can improve the sound further by smoothing the atack surface more. The importance of the atack is far underrated in guitar playing, though it should be obvious to everybody just by watching the huge number of different plektors offered.
Notice most of them have smooth atack surfaces.
For some songs, we may feel the right sound come from and old plywood guitar with worn strings, ratteling like a flamenco, fretted with fingernoise, spiced by whines from plumes sliding along the strings, and atacked with torn scratchy nails, but for pure beauty you will find flawless fretting, exact atack and polishing the nails are improvments.
I use water polishing paper (dry) grit 600, 800, 1000 on same surfaces as the files, but also a tiny bit on the edges for partial deburring. Then 1200, 1500, 2000 and 2500 on bott underside, front and upperside of the nails working off all the burrs and rounding and polishing the sharp edges. Papers are used one after the other in the order mentioned (notice lovest grit is roughest), each erasing the deeper grinding pattern left by the previsious and replaising it with a finer. You can't actualy see it with the naked eye, but experience show 3 to 5 light short touches works. I slide it along the edge of the nail in centimeter short movments right beside where i suport the paper with a finger on the other hand, meaning presure is only around the force needed to bent the paper.
The OH-19 tool has 4 different surfaces marked 1, 2, 3 and 4, (1 being the roughest). The bag says grit 320, 600, 1200 and 3000.
The grain sizes don't corespondent to the ones used on the paper. You'l often find such variations by grinding. This paper is made for metal, the OH-19 for nails, the paper is aplied with caborondum and it's probably some other material on the polisher. Grid seems determined by various things, where grain size is just one factor. It turns out lager grains may polish finer when they'r of softer material.
In such cases i learn by trying. Turns out the OH grid 320 seems to have grains about the size on my grid 1000 paper, and grind rougher than my final 2500 paper. OH grid 600 has grains around the 1500 paper, but polish smoother than my 2500 paper, so i don't use the OH 320, but go 600, 1200 and end with 3000 once dry, and then again 3000 with a drop of water. Now the edges of the nails shine when held up in light, and make the strings ring like heavenly bells.
The OH have grains on thin foam mounted on a flexible plastic suport giving a sturdy yet flexible counterpresure, and i use much more force when polishing on it, but also far more and longer strokes than i use with the paper produced for grinding metal.
Maybe you could go directly from a glass file to the GH polisher by using the 320 surface, but i suspect it would take far more time, because the GH made for soft material remove far less than paper with same grain size (possible other grit) made for hard materials. At least i would expect to save time with paper at least 800 and 1200 with more strokes than i use now, between a fine file and the GH-19, but i don't even care for trying, because i work on playing with pointed nails, and the more strokes - the greater chanse of rounding the point. I'm rather considering gluing the paper to stiff cartoon, to work more precise with greater persure and fewer strokes on each gridsize.
Sry if i'm hard to understand. My native language is danish.

Comments about Oasis OH-19 Fingernail Shaper:
I think this is a good product. I must, nonetheless, say that it is good for final touches after one has shaped the nail. That means for ultra smoothing the nail. The reason is it has surfaces that are basically too fine to shape the nail. Even the 320 grit surface (which is the roughest of all) is not rough enough to start filing the nail down with. However, to smooth the nail out to any desired accuracy it is a very good product.
Comments about Oasis OH-19 Fingernail Shaper:
The Oasis OH-19 is another great product for guitarists from a great company. There is no need to worry about using feminine looking nail shapers anymore thanks to this tool. I have been playing classical guitar for almost a year now, and I have always had trouble shaping my nails. I used to use emery boards, but all I use is this now. The different grits are numbered by order of use, and it is bigger than I had originally anticipated which is great! Also, it leaves your nails very smooth and shiny which is great because I personally hate it the feeling of rough nails on nylon. The only downside is that the grits are very fine, so I suggest sizing your nails with a regular file, then shaping them with this tool.

Dreaming of a Canucks Winter Classic
Matthew Henderson
August 18 2012 12:40PM
On December 20th, 2010, the Vancouver Province posted an article that caused a good deal of buzz across Vancouver. The article stated that the Canucks hoped to host a Heritage Classic in their own backyard, at BC Place home of the Canadian Football League's BC Lions.
Since then much has changed. While the first heritage classic was hosted in Edmonton and featured two Canadian NHL clubs, the event has since morphed into an annual parade of big East Coast clubs (the Penguins again!?). Finally this season, the Toronto Maple Leafs were to be featured, alongside a Western Conference team (for the first time since 2009) in the Detroit Red Wings. At this juncture, however, it doesn't even look like the game will be played...
There's lots of lockout talk these days, and I figure we could all use a harmless distraction. So how about we take a glance into the patented Canucks Army crystal ball, and dream about the Canucks being featured in an outdoor match-up in the near future.
Let's start off with the potential opponent.
The Vancouver Canucks versus the Chicago Blackhawks
This is the game that most of the Vancouver hockey market wants to see. Chicago hosted the 2009 Winter Classic against the rival Detroit Red Wings at historic Wrigley Field, but there are other venues that could make some sense (Soldiers Field, for example).
Either way, a game against the Blackhawks would probably mean that the NHL goes back to Chicago... Or they could try to play a game in BC Place, but many argue the dome isn' wellt suited for the Classic since it lacks the open air-feel that many have become accustomed to.
In terms of the 24/7 though, Canucks v. Blackhawks would make for unmatched drama.
The Vancouver Canucks versus the Colorado Avalanche
Maybe the Canucks would play the first outdoor game in the franchises history in the thin air of the Mile High state. On its face, it doesn't sound that farfetched. With Colorado being one of the NHL's bigger TV markets, and the Avalanche struggling to draw crowds since the team began to re-tool after Joe Sakic's retirement, a Winter Classic in Denver could make sense.
Sports Authority Field, home of the Denver Broncos, is one of two possible destinations in Denver, but Coors Field wouldn't be a bad idea either (ever seen a homerun in a hockey game?). Unfortunately for Vancouver, if Denver was ever to host an outdoor spectacular, the Detroit Red Wings would (and should) be the opponent. Imagine that alumni game, I bet it would feature some brutal cheap shots!
With the 2013 Winter Classic (if it happens) taking place in Michigan Stadium between the afore mentioned Red Wings and the storied Toronto Maple Leafs, maybe a Vancouver-Colorado pairing could be intriguing for the NHL.
The Vancouver Canucks versus the Ottawa Senators
This might make some fans raise their eyebrows, but the way I see it: this one is probably the most likely of the three match-ups for an outdoor game featuring the Canucks.
In two years, we'll mark the centennial anniversary of the city of Vancouver's only Stanley Cup victory. In 1915 the Vancouver Millionaires - led by Cyclone Taylor, and James Norris - beat, you guessed it, the Ottawa Senators.
Forget the "Winter Classic" for this game (no American clubs mean there's no way NBC would be interested). But maybe it could still happen. The heritage classic has taken a couple years off, and frankly it would be pretty awesome if the Canucks and Sens were to meet up at Frank Clair Stadium in Ottawa.
With new renovations pending and a CFL team returning to Ottawa, you know that the city would push for a signature event like an outdoor game... Also the Flames, Oilers and Habs have all been featured in an outdoor game, and Toronto is likely to be featured in 2013 (pending the outcome of CBA negotiations). That leaves only Ottawa, Vancouver and Winnipeg as Canadian clubs who've yet to participate.
Winnipeg will get their shot in the future, but it seems like a no-brainer to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Vancouver's only Stanley Cup win, and to do so in the Ottawa climate..
The Vancouver Canucks versus the San Jose Sharks
This is definitely the most unorthodox of the four options. With Vancouver and San Jose taking part in some memorable games in the recent past, a match-up between the two could bring exciting results - especially if they add some extra stanchions.
Now you may be thinking, how could this happen? With uncertainty surrounding BC Place's suitability as an outdoor venue, and no other logical place in Vancouver to host a game, it isn't likely to happen here any time soon. San Jose, meanwhile isn't going to host an outdoor game, because the climate is pretty clearly too warm...
So how about a neutral site? The City of Seattle is trying to sell their market to the NHL, and what would create more local buzz surrounding pro-hockey in Seattle than an outdoor game, on the field of beautiful Safeco Field?
Vancouver would definitely be the home team, being mere hours away from the ballpark, but Sharks fans wouldn't be faced with much travel. Hell, it could be exciting to hold a Winter Classic in a neutral site...
Now that we have gone through the potential match-ups, let's dive into the giant closet of hockey attire...
The Uniforms
With the team's original stick-in-the-rink logo having been recently revived, and generously used across the Canucks wardrobe for a half decade, three options are pushed to the forefront:
A) The "Flying-V" was infamously worn by the Canucks in the 80's, and it has been a conversation starter across the hockey world ever since. Most of those conversation go something like this, "what's the ugliest jersey you've ever seen," "probably the Flying-V jersey the Canucks wore in the early 80's," "agreed."
B) The "Plate of Spaghetti" logo worn on the Canucks until the Brian Burke era, and it's still very popular amongst collectors and fans alike. It's not all that old though, so would it fit in with the mystique and the branding of the "Heritage/Winter Classic"? I don't think so...
On October 1st, 2010 the Vancouver Canucks announced that they had acquired the rights to the Vancouver Millionaires logos, jerseys and trademarks. If Ottawa was to play Vancouver in 2014-2015 (like we previously discussed), I see this as the only option for the game.
Lastly, one of my favourite things about the outdoor classics, is the Alumni Game played prior to the big showcase. Many icons have taken part in these games: Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier and Gordie Howe, for example. Obviously, Vancouver doesn't have the legends, but they do have some names that have become icons to hockey fans in Vancouver.
While we're dreaming of the Canucks in a Winter or Heritage classic, we might as well dream about putting together some alumni team rosters while we're at it, right?
Here's the rosters I have created, assuming that all players would agree and are capable to take place in the game:
- Top Line: Markus Naslund/Trevor Linden/Stan Smyl
- Second Line: Tony Tanti/Thomas Gradin/Pavel Bure
- Third Line: Greg Adams/Cliff Ronning/Dennis Ververgaert
- Fourth Line: Gino Odjick/Andre Boudrais/Petri Skriko
- Orland Kurtenbach (Extra)
- Mattias Ohlund/Harold Snepsts
- Dennis Kearns/Jyrki Lumme
- Doug Lidster/Dave Babych
- Dale Tallon
- Kirk McLean
- Richard Brodeur
Coaching Staff: Pat Quinn (Coach) Marc Crawford/Harry Neale (Assistants)
Realistically, the Canucks are nowhere near the front of the line to be involved in an outdoor game in the near future. Their best best is probably a one off Heritage Classic game against the Senators in a couple of season. But with the NHL lockout looming (and CBA negotiations boring hockey fans across the continent) we might as well distract ourselves and dream!
Nice first post! It's fun to think about these sorts of things, especially in the dog days of summer.
My top 2 would be the CHI/VAN and OTT/VAN. The CHI game is probably very unlikely, but if it happened I'l love to see the team wear to old stick in rink jersey, and not the modernized version they have now.
If it's OTT/VAN, Heritage Classic, which seems to have the most realistic shot at happening, the Vancouver Millionaires jersey would be a no-brainer. I think those jerseys would sell like crazy too because of the cool history of them. Or maybe that's just the history nerd in me talking.
By the way, this is what OTT would be wearing in this scenario: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/Ottawa_Senators,_1914-1915.jpg
Well done Matthew. Excellent article. It's a keeper.........
No Canucks-Bruins!? Really?!
Riivalry isn't strong enough, many argue it died after last season.
Thanks for the kind words!
Riivalry isn't strong enough, many argue it died after last season.
I agree...I'll probably always have bitter feelings towards them, but we see them only once a year, and that's just not enough to sustain a rivalry.
It feels like it's in the past now.
Im pretty sure the first winter classic was in Edmonton not calgary. The flamers couldnt come up with an idea that good.
August 19 2012, 11:59AM
Look up 2003... mmm fact checking!
I can only imagine the sort of riot a winter classic could trigger.
Why not see if something temporary could be built somewhere in Whistler? You would get better weather for an outdoor game there compared to the Lower Mainland (think of the trucked in snow for the 2010 Olympics). Why does the Winter Classic have to be attended by 10s of thousands? Think how great that game would look like on TV.
BC Place would just be a fantastic place to hold the Winter Classic. They'd fill it out too.

Perhaps at first sight, Stephen Leacock's story "Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town" may not seem to have any relevance to the Greek language.
However, the humourist does point out some pitfalls that students of Greek might make.
I am referring to the fourth chapter on "The Ministrations of the Rev. Mr. Drone" where Mr. Drone has a fixation on the Greek texts and abuses it in his preaching.
The whole book is a good read, but I think the fourth chapter is priceless ... and should be required reading for all Greek scholars.

Great boot, weird fit
"I've been struggling to find a good black riding boot, and sadly this boot was not the one.I loved the detailing in the back and the calf was wide (which I need for my larger than most calves), but the zipper seemed to be sown on slightly off center and it pulled outward around my calf.Had to return them and I continue on the search..."

"i love these boots. i originally wanted a vintage boot so i ordered these knowing i would have to wear them in. I love them. I have a very narrow foot so these are a little wide for me but i'm so use to that with all my shoes. I would say they are pretty true to size. very comfy for boots. Giving them a 4 only because they are slightly lighter in person."

The R-C Morning Report for Aug. 29
September 1, 2014
A canopy collapsed at the former Horizon in Stateline after a beam dropped unexpectedly this morning. Reports from the scene are that no one was hurt and there was very little damage to the equipment. Work on renovating the hotel is continuing.
If you've got business with the county, state or federal government, at the bank or even at The Record-Courier, you'd better conduct it today, because Monday's Labor Day, which means none of us will be working.
Today's the last day to toss your hat into the ring for the office of clerk-treasurer. You've got to apply online, because the county doesn't take paper applications any more. Go to http://www.douglascountynv.gov and click on job opportunities. You have until 4 p.m.
If you finish your application for clerk-treasurer by 3 p.m., go down and have a picon at the Overland in honor of Elvira Cenoz' retirement. There'll be food, too.
Expect partly sunny skies and a high temperature higher than 89 degrees. Expect the same on Saturday, with the chance of slightly cooler weather on Sunday.

WASHINGTON — Amtrak is planning to buy next-generation high-speed trains and will scrap plans to add passenger cars to its Acela Express fleet, its president told lawmakers Thursday.
"They're too expensive, and what we really need to do is replace the Acela with new sets of trains," Amtrak President and CEO Joseph Boardman told members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
The federally subsidized railroad will begin collecting information next year to eventually start replacing its 20 Acela Express trains and add an undetermined number of extra trains. The railroad wants to expand seating capacity and provide for more frequent high-speed service on the Northeast Corridor between Washington and Boston.
An earlier plan to add 40 new passenger cars with newer technology to the older Acela trains posed technical challenges and wasn't cost-effective, according to Amtrak. It also wouldn't have been able to accommodate increasing ridership, the railway said.
In fiscal 2012, Amtrak set a new record of 11.4 million riders on the Northeast Corridor, and a national ridership record of 31.2 million passengers.
"Moving directly to new high-speed train sets is the best option to create more seating capacity, permit higher speeds and maximize customer comfort, all while improving equipment reliability and reducing operating costs," Boardman said in a statement.
An Amtrak official said a funding source for the new trains hasn't been determined.
Amtrak should put off buying new equipment until it figures out what kind of system it will have, Republican Rep. John Mica of Florida, outgoing chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said during an interview.
Congressional oversight of future purchases is needed, given the litigation and design problems associated with the Acela acquisitions, Mica said.
"It's been a parade of horribles in past acquisitions," he said. "So I have to caution — when Amtrak does things, it often gets messed up."
Mica held Thursday's hearing to examine the future of high-speed rail in the Northeast Corridor, including the role of private-sector participation.
Amtrak is seeking federal funding to help build a $151-billion high-speed rail line between Washington and Boston over the next 30 years.
Mica says bringing in expertise from the private sector could speed the process.
"My premise is that it can be done in a third of the time and at much less cost," he said.

"I bought them in the Olive trio color combo - they are awesome! Takes a bit getting used to walking in such a high shoe but the platform does help. They look awesome with my navy pinstriped slacks for work but can also rock them with jeans. For such a high heal I would totally expect them to hurt but nope! I did order a 1/2 size larger than normal and it worked wonderfully.Could not beat the price either...190 LESS than other retailers currently selling the SAME IDENTICAL shoe. DSW rocks!"

Giorgio Brutini Gaurdian Boot
"These boots immedietly caught my eye . Even though I am not usually a fan of the 'moc' toe and know that the upper stitching draws the sides together making it likely that it will be a narrow fit, I chose them anyway (Christmas).They can be paired with jeans or casual dress pants and look great both ways.The workmanship is excellant.The welting of the upper to the sole was not only beautifully done, but also added extra waterproofing.I was impressed with the quality of both the smooth leather on the bottom and the suede on top.However this boot does run narrow.Although I have no pressure sores or am not in pain each morning it takes about a half hour before I am completely comfortable in the right boot.( the left is fine)They are definately worth themoney, and you can either order a wide or use a shoe stretcher. These boots *will* stretch to fit your foot, but it there is a breaking in period. She got for her $$'s worth and I would buy them for myself."

Maryland Linked Deposit Program
Here's how the program works: The minority business enterprise submits an application to the Linked Deposit Program, which verifies the applicant's certification and forwards the application to banks enrolled in the program. The applicant is given the list of participating lenders and is advised to contact a lender who can complete the loan application. The lender makes the loan according to standard underwriting procedures but with an interest rate 2 percent below what the bank would charge for a loan of similar purpose and term. The loan is then enrolled in the Linked Deposit Program.
Why do lenders participate? The loan is backed by an insured certificate of deposit that the state treasurer's office buys from the bank-at a rate 2 percent below the market rate-to enable the bank to make the reduced rate loan to the minority business enterprise. In this way, the state increases capital available to minority businesses and reduces the potential risks to lenders. Loan terms cannot exceed 10 years and must be used for projects in Maryland. For more information on the Linked Deposit Program, contact Charles Day, program manager for DHCD's Division of Neighborhood Revitalization, at (410) 514-7245 or email@example.com.

WtW offices are located in social service agencies affiliated with the Alliance of Children and Families (ACF). ACF agencies screen and provide financial education to borrowers and service the loans. WtW local offices provide financial education to more than three persons for every individual who receives a loan. Investors in WtW include several national foundations, the Community Development Financial Institution Fund of the U.S. Treasury Department, local United Way offices, and financial institutions. Banks can be involved by investing in the national WtW loan fund, by referring to local WtW offices prospective borrowers who do not meet conventional credit criteria, by participating in local WtW loan committees, and by providing grants and in-kind donations to WtW.

PHOENIX (August 14, 2013) – The clock is ticking for U.S. businesses with more than $500,000 in annual revenues to comply with a new requirement created by Section 1512 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This requirement mandates that employers provide a notice to employees of coverage options available through the Health Insurance Marketplace (i.e. "Exchange") no later than Oct. 1, 2013. Many businesses may not even be aware of this mandate.
As amended by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Fair Labor Standards Act's (FLSA) new requirement includes two notices: one for employers 'who offer employer-sponsored coverage' and one for 'employers who do not.' As part of the ACA, individuals will be able to purchase health coverage through state or federally facilitated Health Insurance Marketplaces. According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Technical Release 2013-02, individuals will be able to enroll for coverage through the Marketplace beginning Oct. 1, 2013, with initial coverage beginning effective Jan. 1, 2014.
COBRA Solutions, Inc. launches Marketplace Notice Manager to produce mandated notifications to all employees.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act mandates employers (with over $500,000 in annual revenue) to send all employees (both full-time and part-time) a notification explaining the newly developed Health Insurance Marketplaces. Initially, this notice was to be sent by March 1, 2013 but the Department of Labor's Technical Release 2013-02 postponed this responsibility until October 1, 2013.
Updated COBRA Qualifying Event Notice Scheduled for September 2013
With Healthcare Reform's open enrollment for new state-based health insurance just around the corner, COBRA Solutions will be updating the COBRA Qualifying Event Notice to include information on the 2014 law changes. The expected release date for the updated notice is late August to early September 2013. You will receive the revised notice by updating your software through the normal methods. Over the next couple of months, we will keep all our users informed of software changes through our monthly newsletter (COBRAinReview).

It seems that some anime are being re-made or finished. Full Metal Alchemist is an example of that. They waited until the manga was finished and made an entirely new series, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood to finish the storyline. Something similar happened with Inuyasha: Final Chapters.
Anyways, these are the animes I wish would resume where they left off or continue as the manga is still doing:
1. Air Gear
2. Tenjou Tenge
3. History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi
4. Soul Eater
5. Hunter x Hunter
6. Yakitate!! Japan
7. Claymore
Once the top 3 are over - One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach, I can only think of the above 7 to take their place. All of the above anime have either ended abruptly or have some cliffhanger ending.
