|Topic Review (Newest First)
Grew up with rough collies. In my early 20s, we had a Dobie cross and I liked the more "serious" aspect to her personality. I never thought much about GSDs though, take them or leave them. When my daughter started getting old enough to stay alone at times at our house, I decided she needed a big friend. We agreed we would get either a GSD, a Dobie or a Rottie. By chance, there was an ad for GSD pups that same week we decided. They were only 2 weeks old when we went to look at them. Brought home our pick when he was weaned. Have Never. Had. A. Better. Dog.
He is definitely "my" dog, but he will go all out for any of our household. I would never have believed how intelligent a dog could be, how just plain loyal and "concerned" about their people.
Will always have a GSD now. Always.
|Growing up we always had dogs, all sorts of breeds. one of our neighbors had a German shepherd and he was mean, couldn't go near him. So I just always thought they were gorgeous dogs, but mean. Than my boyfriend at the time loved German shepherds and always wanted one, and would always tell me storys about German shepherd he knew, and I agreed after a little while that we could get one (I had wanted a mastiff lol). An opportunity came up to get a GSD, a little sooner than we had planned. I will never not have a GSD, she is deffinitly the funniest dogs I have owned, and the smartest! I'm so glad I agreed to owning a GSD!
Never had a dog growing up, but my best friends had a black Lab that I enjoyed playing with.
Many many years ago, my dad was bitten by a GSD and my friend was attacked by one. I believe the dogs were off-leash at the time.
Over the years I admired the GSD, but from afar.
When my husband and I talked about what kind of dog we'd ultimately get, it was either going to be a Lab or a GSD. When the opportunity presented itself to get my husband's cousin's GSD (a Schutzhund dog), we jumped at the chance.
16 months later, we've never looked back. Love our Joey!
|Bear GSD
When I was a teenager my best friend that lived behind me had a German Shepherd named Prince. Prince was not a friendly dog and it took me almost a full year before I could walk through her yard when Prince was in it. I was definitely afraid of that dog.
It wasn't until after my first dog, Pal ( a border collie mix) had passed away that we started thinking about getting another dog. We went to the dog show in Chicago and was looking at all of the breeds, trying to get an idea of what we thought would be a good fit for our family. As soon as we saw the SAR handlers with their German Shepherds we knew that that was the breed for us.
I can't imagine having another breed now, even after our last girl, Elsa passed away last year, we thought about possibly getting another breed, but after all the debate we came back to GSD's. I will always have one in my life!
I have been around Shepherds my whole life, when I was born my grandparents had 2 Belgian Shepherds, then my mom got a GSD when I was around 14. I don't know where Queenie came from but she was older when we got her and fully trained . We walked miles and miles together.
I can't see me with any other breed.
What a terrible story Carriesue, I'm glad you have your dogs now and no-one can take them away.
I had to talk my wife down from a Rottweiler to GSD.
We agreed we wanted a dog but had very different ideas, she had her heart set on a rottweiler because she had them as a child but I was worried about the image a big dog might give us, that it might be dangerous with the children, that it would be messy and clumsy around the house etc etc and I was trying to persuade her down to something spaniel size....gradually she worked on me, reminded me that I work away from home a lot and we live in the middle of no-where and a big dog would watch over them all etc etc.
During my research I go reading and realised a GSD was the best dog for us.
I wasn't really allowed to have a dog growing up, well we did adopt one from the pound when I was in elementary school and she was my best friend... But she started submissive peeing whenever my step dad got near her(I don't blame her, he was abusive to me) and so rather then trying to figure out what to do he just grabbed her one day and took her back to the pound.
Somehow I ended up with a beagle puppy in middle school, I don't remember how I got it but one day my mom wanted me to do something and I was holding my puppy and didn't want to... She grabbed him out of my arms and got rid of him(to the pound I assume). So color me traumatized.
A few years later I pet sat for a GSD and then another a few years later on, fell in love with the breed and decided one day I wanted one and well many years later here we are. I do own three other different breeds of dogs and I love them all but I will admit there is something special about GSD's. I will probably always have one and a Pomeranian, hey don't knock it... actually trained instead of being let to do whatever they want they are amazing, devoted and extremely loyal dogs!
|I've never had any other breed.
|Growing up almost all of our dogs were GSD mixes, but never pure bred. I love all dogs and it never was a must to own the breed. The golden retriever was the dog I always wanted. Years ago when I worked at the vet, the vet had a beautiful GSD. My son would play with him for hours...they loved each other Last year when I was looking for a dog, my friend brought up GSD's. I liked the look, I liked the idea of the deterrent part of it, and I had no idea how hard I would fall for the breed. I can't see myself without one EVER again. I couldn't be happier with mine and I'm happy that I stuck it out and learned about her and the breed.
|My husband is!!! I've always loved the breed but my husband believed the bad stories. He's smarter now lol

Electrons dance to a quantum beat in the Hubbard model of solid-state physics
Brian Hayes
The newest trick in the long struggle to master the Hubbard model is the idea of setting up experimental apparatus to mimic the model's lattice and its population of electrons. Standing in for the electrons in these experiments are atoms of an ultracold gas—so cold, and therefore so sluggish, that the atoms can be trapped by the feeble electromagnetic field of a beam of light. Three such beams crossing at right angles create a sort of three-dimensional egg carton, with periodic wells where the cold atoms tend to accumulate. The atoms chosen for the experiment are members of the same quantum-mechanical class as electrons (known as fermions), and so they are subject to the same quantum rules as the electrons in a solid; in particular, no two atoms in the same spin state can occupy the same site in the optical lattice. Furthermore, two atoms of differing spin that land on the same site experience a short-range repulsion, just as electrons do. Thus the stage is set for a full simulation of the Hubbard model. The optical lattice is typically a few millimeters across, and it holds tens of thousands of atoms.
Of course it's easy to talk about the principles of such an experiment; making it happen in the laboratory is harder—indeed, heroic. But in recent months three groups have reported successful results of such experiments. Two of those groups have found evidence of a Mott-insulator phase in the confined atoms. (The groups are led by Immanuel Bloch of Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, and by Robert Jördens and Niels Strohmaier of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.) The third group, led by Gyu-Boong Jo of MIT, has seen signs of ferromagnetic order in a gas of cold atoms.
There is something deliciously involuted about this turn of events: an experiment that illuminates a model that explicates an experiment. One interpretation is that the assembly of lasers and cryogenic atoms and other apparatus is acting as a special-purpose quantum computer, which can efficiently solve problems that would require exponentially greater effort on a classical computer.
This audacious approach to doing science—harnessing physics to do the work of mathematics and computation—surely has great promise; and yet I have a nagging reservation. As I said at the beginning of this essay, a mathematical model is an aid to understanding, not just an engine for producing answers. According to this view, the aim of the Hubbard model is not so much to determine whether certain kinds of solids have ferromagnetic order or Mott transitions or superconducting phases. What the model offers is hope of understanding where those traits come from—how the basic ingredients of the model combine to yield emergent properties. The cold-atom experiments seem less effective as aids to understanding: Even when they yield the right answer, we may not easily see why it's right. The experiments get their power from the same quantum mysteries they seek to explain.
The same complaint has often been made about ordinary computer simulations and about computer-aided proofs in mathematics. If the computer is just a black box, and we cannot follow along step by step from premise to conclusion, how can we pretend to understand the result? But these doubts about the legitimacy of computer-aided science seem to be fading, chased away by the spread of algorithmic thinking. Perhaps now we need to wait for a wider embrace of quantum thinking.
After the publication of this column (my 97th since 1993), I will be taking a one-year sabbatical leave from the Computing Science department. Although I have a long list of topics for columns that I'm still eager to learn about and write about, I also have other projects I've deferred too long. After a year's respite from bimonthly deadlines, I look forward to returning to this splendid soapbox in 2011. In the meantime, this space will be filled with fresh voices and viewpoints. For those who wish to follow my own ongoing adventures, I expect to continue posting occasional essays at bit-player.org.—Brian Hayes

A few days ago the Darwinist David Attenborough came up with a claim regarding a striking discovery(!). According to that claim, the fictitious missing link in human evolution was missing no longer! The fact is, however, that the fossil Ida, depicted as an extraordinary discovery in special broadcasts and publications, is in fact an extinct lemur.
1. The fossil is 95% complete. It has therefore been possible to examine its every detail, including the animal's internal organs. And apart from a few details pointing to variations unique to individual species, IT IS A PERFECT SPECIES OF LEMUR.
2. Darwinist publications have claimed that Ida has an opposable thumb, and that this feature is different to that in other mammals but the same as that in humans. The fact is that all living lemurs have thumbs of this kind.
3. In the same way, Darwinists have tried to point to Ida's nails as evidence for their claims. But other primates also do have nails.
4. Darwinists maintain that Ida's ankle bone "is the same as that in human beings." But the other foot structure in this life form is entirely different to that in humans. Comparing one single bone in the feet while ignoring all the other differences is a familiar element of Darwinist propaganda.
5. Darwinists say that the fossil, different from present-day lemurs, does not have fused teeth in the middle of its bottom jaw or a grooming claw, and seek to use these as evidence for their claims. The fact is that the animal's teeth resemble those of monkeys. The lack of a grooming claw, on the other hand, is a feature unique to the species. The absence of these characteristics from an extinct lemur exhibiting variations peculiar to the species is not evidence that the creature evolved. It is in no way evidence that this animal is "the imaginary ancestor of man." Its teeth and toes are perfect. It exhibits no features that are in the process of evolving, semi-developed, deficient or abnormal.
6. The fossil was actually discovered in 1983. It has taken 26 years for this huge sensation to break. The reason for the long delay is probably that the fossil is being used as a vehicle for conjecture just when Darwinists need it the most, when they have been totally routed. From having been kept as an ordinary fossil lemur, it suddenly became the greatest discovery Darwinists had ever made.

Homeland Security chief, Michael Chertoff told a conference in Jerusalem the United States was making progress in the fight to win the hearts of Muslims but the effort was being underminded by "sources of cynicism in our society that cannot distinguish between our actions and the actions of terrorists, that treat everything as equivalent, that view appeasement as the best course of dealing with the enemy." He believes Muslim communities "have seen their religion highjacked by a group of ideologues," but hopefully Muslims are finally understanding the Bush policies are on the right track and that Israel does not make mistakes. Israel Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni complained the international community must stop making moral equivalences between civilians killed by suicide bombers and civilians killed during operations against terrorists.
There have been few suicide bombers killing Israelis during the past several months but there has been the killing of dozens of Gaza civilians by Israel armed forces during their operations against militants. A Gaza mother or father whose child has been killed obtains scant comfort from knowledge the "good guys" had to kill them to avoid being killed by the "bad guys." There have been numerous opportunities offered by Hamas and Egyptian mediators to implement a cease fire in Gaza but the Olmert government has refused to take the first step. Of course, a first step offers risks, but doing nothing can be equally as dangerous.
The new book by Scott McClellan offers ample evidence the Bush administration has lied to the American people and to the world. The Bush administration currently is negotiating with terrorist North Korea, has backed Israel negotiation with terrorist Syria, is negotiating with the terrorist regime of President Mugabe in Zimbabwe, and certainly has relations with Communist China, but Chertoff insists anyone who seeks to negotiate with terrorism is guilt of appeasement. Does this include the Bush administration?

Many people around me told I do not need to take B supplements because B's are present in all the foods I eat and I just flush them down the toilet. Good thing that I did not listen to them. I bought B-50 along with other vitamins to replace ADAM because I want to adjust the timing and quantity of each vitamin. It's great. I take it in the morning with a good meal and I have energy all day or before workout for the same reason. I even took two (one with breakfast and one before my evening workout) and I did not have any problem. The high dosages should not scare you because we are already vitamin defficient and anyway the B group do not stay in the body. I just ordered the 250 tablets bottle and I recommend this product to you all.

|painted jester
Just to answer Painted Jesters other question, this is for the street. And it doesn't need to be class legal. Truck does not get a lot of miles on it so not a daily driver; more like an experimentation/learning tool and fun driver.
Correct, relatively new (about 1.5 years old) Holley 600 w/vacuum secondaries. No adjustment possible on floats, needle or seat. has air/fuel mixture adjustment.
Has the provision for the ford kickdown (which I just found out in another thread where I asked what the lever besides the throttle was for).
Put the Holley work on hold until I get the 2500 stall 10" converter (current was 1500) in early next week. That should help with my stall problems (as noted by F-bird'88 in my other tread on the distributor).
|painted jester
Universal with a ford passing gear kick down? basic street carb no needle & seat adjustment except for bending the float arm?
transfer slot setup
Jester, he has a Holley 600 w/vacuum secondaries.
|painted jester
What model# carb are you modifying? Is it a Holley or a copycat? ( like Quickfuel? ) Is the carb new or used? And for what purpose Street, , Roundy Round, Drag Etc? Does it have to be class legal?
Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it? Or maybe you stated it on another thread I haven't read?
t-slot setup
Well, the other thread was supposed to stick to just distributor type questions (re: mechanical and vacuum) and this one about holley type stuff but there is some overlap going on.
Anyway, that's why I'm here and asking questions, some items I'm fairly familiar with but others are new hat.
My cam is a Comp Cams 450 lift, 224 duration, 206 lobe centre. I had it running good at 800 idle with just primary screw adjustments but when I looked at the t-slot after pulling off the carb it was pretty large (didn't measure or write it down as I was going to go through the 0.020" setup procedure anyway). I will, for the record, reset the secondary to closed, adjust the idle with the primaries to 850 and then pull the carb and read the t-slot size.
The part I was trying to understand was the proper order of things when modifying a holley and then, in turn, doing each of these to ensure you have a properly running engine. I do understand there is some level of going back and forth but there must be some items that have to be done in order to get them correct. For example, you would never setup a holley until your timing is good.
Here is the list I have sofar of steps and the order they should be done in.
1. Get the timing fixed and correct
2. Verify that you have 4-7 psi of fuel pressure; ensure it is NOT higher than 7.5 psi as that can cause severe fuel control problems
a. If too high then install a fuel regulator and set to proper psi at 6.5 psi
b. If not enough then you need to replace the tank intake, pump and all the lines as they could be clogged.
c. At high rpm or WOT fuel pressure should not drop below 3.0 psi; if it does you need a higher volume fuel pump.
d. Ensure that the fuel filter is the large one and does not come close to heat or in contact with the engine itself. A large filter can transmit a lot of heat to the fuel.
3. Ensure you use a large 14"x3" open element air cleaner; it will offer very little resistance to air flow, thereby not causing the fuel to go leaner. All Holley carbs are initially calibrated using this type of air cleaner.
4. Check for manifold-to-head and manifold-to-carb vacuum leaks
5. Take out the Carb and take it apart. Write down:
a. Jet sizes
b. Actuation point of the power valve
c. Size of the accelerator pump squirter
6. Get the floats right
a. Primary with the level just barely below the sight plug, secondary the fuel level about .050" below the sight plug
i. My carb (Holley 600 w/vacuum secondaries) does not have adjustable so must leave as is
7. Make sure venturi butterflies and the choke plate open fully
8. Set the transfer slot as per procedure below
9. Set Idle mixture as per procedure below
10. Check off-idle circuit (tip-in) as per procedure below
11. Set your power valves as well as your PVCR's as per procedure below
12. Set your jets as per procedure below
13. Tune your secondary's
14. Set your accelerator pump
15. Set your fast idle setup (for when choke is on)
Where it says 'as per procedure below' I then have detailed steps (with pics) on how to do that from what I have learned (both from reading and by experimentation). I did read a lot of articles from reputable companies like Holley (which has a whole technical library) to car magazine articles and where I found corroboration then I put that in my procedure. If you want to read it let me know and I'll upload it for you to see.
Sooo, long story short, when I set the primaries to 0.020 and the secondaries to 0.020 then my idle was at 2200 with the fast idle off so then i adjusted the secondaries to give me an idle of 1050. I think I was closing them off slowly, can't recall right now.
It sounds like my next steps now are:
- close down secondaries and run engine to see what happens with tslot on primary set only at 0.020"
BTW, my idle air screws are currently reset to 1.5 turns; when I tried to work them before I did my t-slot adjustment they did nothing. no increase or decrease in vacuum until I stalled the engine going all the way closed so I left them and started at the t-slot procedure.
Sorry for the long email
If you have to open the transfer slot too much w/the curb idle screw- THAT is when you start to use the 2'ndary side to add bypass air to get the idle right. This is preferred by me to drilling holes in the primary butterflies. But this isn't required unless you have a fairly radical cam- so what are the cam specs?
|painted jester
It has a section about the idle slots and good info to help you understand a little about the other circuits !! You asked about your converter not being loose enough What that meant? I took for granted your knowledge is limited !! And your asking questions about the carb that are very basic ( no insult intended )
And once you drill the P.V.R. you can go back by installing a screw in bleed and drilling smaller ! ( not that you need that) But it tells me you didn't read the article very well or it didn't sink in!
|painted jester
I agree strongly!!!
Setting the t-slot "square" and then setting the curb idle using the secondary is NOT how it's done. I don't know how BS like this gets passed around and somehow becomes a fact.
I see you've got another thread running on all this. Good luck.
torque converter
Never mind, found looser/tighter torque converter articles online so you are saying that I need a higher, numerically, torque converter. Ok, will look into that next.
t-slot setup
I still don't get what you mean "torque converter is too tight", you mean 1500 vs 3500?
t-slot on primary was setup at 0.020 and left there, idling was adjusted on secondaries only so would it be on the transiotion circuit? I did confirm that fuel starts dribbling down the primaries at 1950 rpm so that should be the transfer from the idle to main fuel circuits is and is way above where I'm working.
Also, I have been keeping a careful eye on the timing the whole time I'm doing this. It is set at initial 18 degrees and the springs installed (2 mediums) cause timing to come in at 1300 (vacuum is disconnected and plugged). As noted above, I did see the mechanical come in when the secondaries were too open but when I get it down to 1050 idle it runs at 18 degrees idle so, in my mind fine.
I have not checked the timing out of gear vs in gear; will do that tomorow.
Cam specs are: Comp Cams 450 lift, 224 duration, 206 lobe centre
Painted Jester, that is one of the articles I have followed when building my own procedure. I have not yet gone as far as modifying the PCVR's, jets, PCV's, etc as I want to work through where I'm at first (once I drill there is no going back). Next step is the air/fuel mixture but first I need a stable idle based on idle transfer slots. Based on what I've been reading I should be ok but, like Cobalt327 says, there may be other factors involved I will need to study up on.
Thanks and keep the information coming!
|painted jester
Carb Tunning
This may help with your questions and save me a lot of typing!
If the engine has to idle so high that it's on the verge of (or is already) idling on the transition circuit, and the engine rpm drops way down when the transmission is engaged, the torque converter- if too tight- will cause the rpm to drop. This is uber common w/any sort of performance camshaft in combo w/a stock stall speed TC.
Another thing that can do this is if the mechanical advance is already adding timing at idle speed (very possible if you're idling at an abnormally high rpm), when it's put into gear, the drop in rpm causes the timing to drop as well. The result is the idle speed drops too much.
Have you checked to see what the timing does when out of gear compared to when in gear? What are the cam specs?

The Pentagon Federal Credit Union Foundation (PenFed Foundation) is a national charity working to meet unmet needs of the military personnel and their families in the areas of financial literacy, housing and support for the wounded. They work to ensure that those who selflessly devote their lives to the defense of our country have the resources they need for a secure financial future. They seek to prevent medical emergencies turning into financial hardships for our nation's defenders. They seek to partner with other organizations to have the greatest impact on meeting unmet needs. They strictly follow all IRS guidelines and provide transparency on how your contributions are used.
The Pentagon Federal Credit Union Foundation is dedicated to assist the men and women and their immediate families in the Department of Defense and Homeland Security. This includes both uniform and non-uniform personnel. Their Military Heroes program provides support to those wounded in the war against terrorism. Given the large numbers of wounded and the long-term nature of their challenges, the government faces budget and logistical problems in meeting their needs. That's where the Foundation steps in to help.
Military personnel and their families face financial stress due to relatively low pay, extended deployments and combat injuries. Payday lenders target those in the military because they have regular paychecks and must pay their bills or risk losing their security clearances. The Asset Recovery Kit (ARK) gives no-interest emergency cash loans and free professional counseling to help solve money problems.
Military families deserve their piece of the American Dream. They often cannot purchase a home, the cornerstone of this dream because of the high cost of housing.

He plays as a support striker running around the centre forward (gabbiadini, macheda) in u-21, moving a lot with the ball and often looking for the assist. In roma he will make a different job however, given that:
- Great speed over long distances, 85 TS would be fair
- His agility can look impressive at times, his turnings are smooth and he's able to turn his body very quickly in a towel-sized portion of the field. Given his height and weight, he's 85 to me but i'll wait too see more matches in the serie a.
-His short passing is not so shitty, during the matches i've seen he managed to put well-calibrated passess "on the run" of his team mates, so they could shot with their heads up. All of this done in different positions and situations (back to the goal, front to the goal etc). Maybe a green value is too much but a 73/74 is more appropriate.
-1-touch pass, he often goes for them. Smartly executed 1-2 with his team mates, especially this evening when he put gabbiadini in front of the keeper 2 times (both screwed).
-WFA, can be a 6 judging from what I've seen but I'll wait to see more of him in a competitve tournament, like about AGI.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by lala, Mar 25, 2013.
Chilly too... the only way I know its spring is that my garden is full of weeds!
Let's face it though, subjectivity is the reason why we feel such a strong emotional connection to figure skating and the skaters themselves. Making a subjectively-leaning sport more objective is a balancing act. If you have make a move towards too much objectivity, it will lose its original soul and become something totally different. That may be a good thing, but it might not be. Gymnastics is still going through rough times and are constantly changing the rules and scoring system to make it more appealing and aesthetically-pleasing like its golden era. However, there's always something unsatisfying or incomplete about the "improvements."
I want more subjectivity, too as long as it agrees with my subjectivity ; otherwise,
Let me show you how absurd your position is.
Is this...that...rationality thing I have been hearing about? HOW DID IT GET IN THE TRASH CAN!!!???
With your moniker (not to mention your casually innocent thread title provocation) maybe you'd have more success.
Hey, what about just like on DWTS, the audience gets to decide who wins!
Isnt that what this thread is trying to do?
Because this thread title belongs to Trash Can.
But my subjectivity is very objective! It's based on what and who I like.
In purple, bold, italic, shouty font!
Perhaps, in your rational judgment. In any case, results are always hashed and rehashed on skating forums.
Denis and his coach seem quite happy with the silver medal.
The folks who mounted a protest of the men's results, however futile, had the right to make their voices heard. To believe otherwise is, dare I say, irrational and refutable.
I believe they've heard these folks' voices, and they've made a rational decision by not honoring their irrational outcry, and not changing the system much for the Olympic season.
One thing I think gymnastics does well that I think figure skating sort of falters on is that the ISU can or have changed the rules mid-Olympic cycle whereas the FIG (gymnastics international federation) doesn't implement any major changes to the way they score elements or create deductions on technique and execution until after the Olympics. I think if the ISU wants to fix technique problems or create scoring changes to promote a certain "look" or "philosophy" they should do it after the nearest Olympics but make it known early on that they are planning these changes. That way skaters who were brought up one system where certain things were overlooked (like flutzing or over rotations) before an Olympic cycle don't become a problem for a skater mid-cycle. However, by letting it be known that they are implementing these changes to improve skating, the younger generations or even veterans can know early on what things they need to work on to better prepare themselves for the next cycle.
However, that does sort of create a mentality that the Olympics are the be-all to end-all, and I've always argued that Worlds (though maybe not as lucrative or prestigious as an Olympics) are an incredibly important competition that decides who is the best skater that season (akin to a NBA championship or even Super Bowl). Thus, theoretically, why couldn't the ISU make a change whenever they want to since Worlds happens every year?
I too want more Rationality.......I love it when it produces such rational results!
Have faith. Aren't humans the most rational of all animals?
Yes, when they are asleep!
Because Worlds happens every year.
Because they stop thinking and talking??
Monica Friedlander's latest - "Petition Protesting Skating Results Sent to Top Officials" (June 3): http://www.examiner.com/article/petition-protesting-skating-results-sent-to-top-officials
I think it's wonderful to see Kerry Leitch, Tai Babilonia, Debi Thomas, Tim Wood, and Sjoukje Dijkstra all having signed this and I am happy to have signed as well. I am safely skeptical about the result (as with any outcome under Cinquanta's judgement), but we shall see. I think it's going to have to take the same thing happening on an Olympic stage with a lot more eyes watching for things to really hit the fan.
Kanadians, Skate Canada, Chan
N_Halifax, Debi Thomas, Tai Babilonia, Tim Wood Cinquanta and ISU
Frank Carroll was asked about the controversy in The Skating Lesson interview. He didn't comment on Patrick, but he said he thought the flaw with the IJS was that the judge's don't score the PCS correctly. He said at Worlds he just enjoyed the moment, but when he got back to the rink and examined Denis' scores, he noticed that his PCS was significantly higher in the long program than in the short program. Carroll didn't feel that a skater's basic skating changes that much in 2 days, and it was not just one or two judges who scored this way, it was across the board.
This is the same thing skaters complained about with figures scoring. How could a skater go up or down 7 placements in a period of a month or less?
And people thought all Canadians are biased towards Patrick! There are so many Canadians who want to see Patrick humiliated and insulted hiding behind the name of being objective, and they would be applauded to sky high. But if you are a Canadian and praised Patrick, you'd be labelled too subjective and biased to see what kind of lousy skater Patrick is. The hypocrisy of some people.
Not that hard to have a bad day in figures. One shaky turn can ruin a figure. If your nervous at all, you could easily blow it.
The SS mark doesn't assess the skater's basic overall skating skills, or the skills they are theoretically capable of...it assesses their skating skills as shown for that particular skate, of that particular program. This is why the SS mark can change for the same program from skate to skate. A skater can skate with more/less confidence/sureness, with shakier or more secure edges, with better/worse speed and flow on any given day. Additionally, the choreography can highlight the skaters' strengths or weaknesses, making their skating skills look better or worse than they actually are. Thus, the SS mark can, and should, fluctuate based on the given performance.
What goes around will come around some day! Today is Chan and Kanadians. Wonder who's next in 2014 and beyond.
It's like a trend. One day a federation is the target of such broad-based conspiracy accusations, even if fans of skaters of that federation had been the perpetuators of such accusations against other federations before.
We have many examples. It's only dependent on which federation actually wins. I still find the North American in Ice Dance conspiracy debate entertaining after reading years-worth if posts about how there wasn't a conspiracy in Ice Dance from some and how there was a Russian/Eastern-Euro bias from others. The debate is the same but the players have switched sides.
I am shocked. I agree with Frank Carroll about something.
In theory maybe. The PCS in general and the SS in this example are supposed to be based what happens on the day, but in practice they are greatly influenced by what a skater has done in the past and how the judges view them in general. Not to mention, often PCS will actually go up for poorer skates, maybe because the judges use it to prop up skaters they like who didn't deliver on the TES. Also, I do think that SS is the component most likely to remain stable - things like IN and P&E are much more contingent on how a skater performs on the day.
I don't see the point of this petition. I don't think Denis Ten should get a second gold medal. I do think that the ISU needs to take a good look at how the judging and scoring currently work, and maybe do a bit more than the usual tinkering once the Olympic season is over.
ITA on all of that! Especialy the last paragraph.

The United States of America can be proud to have such fighters for freedom and truth as Rush Limbaugh, Lou Dobbs, Ann Coulter or Glenn Beck. However, much as these fearless fighters for honesty have brought to the attention of the American people the horrifying truth that the current man sitting in the Oval Office was never qualified to hold that position, this reporter must finally tell the real truth. First of all, there is no such person as "Barack Obama." It is now clear that over forty years ago, a group of terrorists under the leadership of a young Osama bin Laden decided to hatch a diabolical plot under which al-Qaeda would gain control of America without firing a shot. Osama bin Laden's father had a child by a western woman who was in his harem and the baby and the woman were sent to Hawaii. She was paid over one million dollars to pretend she had a child by someone from Kenya. Yes, she did place an ad in a Hawaii newspaper about the birth of a son, but there is no evidence any doctor or nurse was able to verify the birth of such son. If her child was born in Hawaii, why can't we ever find a picture of the birth? American mothers and fathers always take pictures of newborn babies, but for some strange reason no such photos exist of the "Barack Obama" birth. How about defenders of Barack Obama producing a picture, all we ask, is a single photo! If anything I have just written is incorrect, I challenge liberals to produce a single piece of evidence to the contrary.
The boy was named after the sacred rock which is in Mecca and this "Barack Obama" is none other than one of Osama bin Laden's brothers. Anyone familiar with al-Qaeda knows their secret password is "Amabo" which for some strange reason is the name Obama spelled backwards. Is this a coincidence? I have it on the highest authority that during the summer of 2008, Barack Obama was not seen by anyone for a period of 24 hours. During that time he met with his brother in a brothel in Tel Aviv to discuss policies he would put in place once in power. A third man was at that meeting, and this intrepid reporter can now reveal the name of the Third Man. It was none other than Don Rumsfeld! Employ some logic. The invasion of Iraq in search of WMD was among the most inept, bungled, confused operations in military history. Even the Pentagon could not be that incompetent. Don Rumsfeld planned the entire fiasco from day one to ensure there would be chaos in Iraq and that would serve as a means of rallying Muslims around the world to the banner of Osama bin Laden.
Have you ever wondered why Barack Obama refuses to allow investigations into the Iraq war or to torture? The reason is simple– he knows any investigation would reveal there was an alliance between Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, George Bush and Osama bin Laden. They succeeded brilliantly in creating complete chaos in Iraq, an economic meltdown and loss of public support for the Iraq debacle. How else could Osama bin Laden's brother win the election?
Of course as a final touch to their plan, they sent a hyperactive Big Momma from one of the harems to the state of Alaska where she was given financial support to be elected governor of the state. Let's be realistic, if John McCain has an intelligent vice presidential candidate the election might well have gone the other way. But, with the boob head doll by his side, McCain guaranteed the election of Osama bin Laden's brother.
It is now necessary for Rush, Ann, and the other voices of reason to demand a complete investigation into the origin of the war in Iraq. Let's get at the truth.

only about a half a frame of capped and uncapped larva. Is this normal for this time of year?This is a new package from April and my first year beekeeping. Initially there was a lot of laying when first installed.The bees are very active and have lots of honey stored.
I have one large brood chamber and three medium with honey and a fourth they are working on. .
I have always made sure there was extra space .....I add a super I put it under a full one.
I did see uncapped larva in some cells. Of the frames I pulled one was from the middle, that one had some capped and uncapped brood. the uncapped I saw were kind of curled in the cell so I assume not fresh laid.
The other two frames were from closer to the outside. I guess it would be smarter to check the middle frames ?
Should I do a more agressive search for the queen?

I've bred litters and I also guarantee hips/elbows, DM, genetic disease, etc.
My guarantee states that if the puppy has any of these problems that we will replace the puppy as soon as possible.
I've only ever had one puppy who had a genetic defect. The owners did not want a new puppy, but asked if I could help cover the vet cost for dealing with the problem. After I agreed they later asked for a full refund.
Although my warranty did not state that I was responsible in any way to help the owners, I knew that the puppy was a result of my breeding and if they were going to keep and love him I wanted to help them any way I could. Being a responsible breeder I did refund them their money.
So it doesn't all depend on what the contract states. It also depends on the morals of the breeder!

|I bought mine with no guarantee
|Do you know why most breeders give replacements and not money back? It is because breeding is an expensive venture, and there is seldom any money left to return after the expenses are paid. I never required the return of the dog with problems, but I did require a signed vet note saying the first dog had been spayed/neutered.
If American breeders gave a "discount" for not taking a guarantee I wouldn't take it. So if the guarantee was technically an extra fee on top of the pup and not just included in the price, I'd pay less money and walk away without the guarantee. I figure that even if they do provide a replacement puppy...I might not be ready for a second dog, or maybe I don't want one from their lines anymore so why even bother?
Sure...a money back clause I'd take, but that's never offered so who cares.

I hate that in a contract. It is, IMHO, an easy way for a breeder to never have to honor their guarantee. Most people don't want to give back their dog, so they don't. And the breeder is in the clear. It's shady.
I will NOT go through a breeder who has that in their contract again.
I have purchased three German Shepherds from two different breeders in Germany, and they did not come with any guarantees. European breeders don't give guarantees to living creatures. However, their breeding requirements are much stricter,and the parents must pass health tests before breeding.
Of those three dogs, one was perfectly healthy with no hip problems whatsoever up until 12.5 years old, when she developed osteosarcoma. With surgery, she lived another year. She hopped around pretty well on her other three good legs. One developed arthritis issues in his old age, treated with supplements and Adequan. One now at 9 years old has a thickened knee, so we're treating that with supplements, and I'm considering more Adequan. But none of them had any issues when they were young, so the guarantee would not have helped.
|Rorie threw up on her guarantee and then ate it...but since I have owned her and reading this thread I just feel that a lot goes into raising a dog and when I get another one I want to get a dog that I really want -that's special-so if I was looking at a replacement the breeder might not actually be breeding something I want....
Not to me, I would feel REALLY weird about asking someone else to help cover my dogs' medical cost, even the breeder. If I can't afford this breed, I just don't get the puppy. I'm already statistically overdue for a GSD with something like HD and I'm prepared to deal with it. If I insist on never paying for a congenital problem, I'd buy a dog that was already screened for such problems.
I agree that a good guarantee doesn't always speak to the quality of the breeder. Many great breeders have no generic written guarantee. Either there is none, or they are an ethical person and work things out as they happen.

Brokeback Mountain [Blu-ray/DVD] [Includes Digital Copy]
2 discs
Region 1 USA/CA (
Based on the short story by Pulitzer Prize-winning author E. Annie Proulx, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is the tragic and moving story of two cowboys who unexpectedly fall in love while working together one summer in 1963. When the film begins, rodeo cowboy Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) and ranch-hand Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) are strangers meeting for the first time. As the more outgoing one, it is Jack who must initiate a friendship with Ennis, a man so tight-lipped and self-consciously macho he refuses all facial expression. From this strained beginning, Jack and Ennis gradually begin to bond on cold, lonely nights over a fire in the mountains of Signal, Wyoming. One particularly chilly evening, Jack invites Ennis into his tent, where a sudden awkward embrace sends their relationship in a new direction. Though each man stubbornly defends his heterosexuality, the spark between them cannot help but grow, with that initial summer on Brokeback Mountain becoming their reference point for happiness during the rest of their lives.
Spanning 20 years, the film moves at an impressively slow pace that really captures the detailed and unhurried style of Proulx's story. Seeing each other a few times a year at best, Ennis and Jack spend the rest of their time halfheartedly living up to society's expectations by marrying and having kids. When the lovers do meet, there is a sense of love so palpable and frustrating it often manifests itself in physical violence. Gyllenhaal shines as the film's hopeful light, and Ledger gives a powerful performance as the emotionally blocked Ennis. Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee captures the natural beauty of Wyoming and Texas with camerawork that, while beautiful, never feels imposing. Gustavo Santaolalla's simple yet haunting score helps to complete a beautiful portrait of wasted chances and regret.

Critic Reviews
"BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is that rare thing, a big Hollywood weeper with a beautiful ache at its center. It's a modern-age Western that turns into a quietly revolutionary love story." -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly
"[I]t's a nuanced and complex study of desire, loneliness and the ambiguities swirling beneath the accepted codes of rural life. And, as such, one of the finest movies of the year."
"The lonesome chill that seeps through Ang Lee's epic western, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is as bone deep as the movie's heartbreaking story..."
New York Times
"[I]mmaculately made...with career-making performances by its two reluctant lovers, Gyllenhaal and Ledger....Count them both in at nomination time."
Film Comment
"It's a heart-wrenching portrayal of unfulfilled Wyoming love....The movie soars for the duration..."
USA Today
Included in Entertainment Weekly's Top Ten Films Of The Year -- "[A] quietly revolutionary weeper..."
Entertainment Weekly
"Stellar performances, a haunting Oscar-winning soundtrack, and beautiful cinematography make for an unforgettable story."
Widescreen Review
4 stars out of 4 -- "[O]ne of the truly convincing movies about romantic love to come along in years..."
4 stars out of 5 -- "Ang Lee's unmissable and unforgettable BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN hits you like a shot in the heart. It's a landmark film and a triumph for Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal..."
Rolling Stone
"[T]he screenplay is a model of sensitive adaptation....The screenwriters' most significant contribution is their investment in well-defined, plausible female characters."
Sight and Sound
Ranked #11 in Uncut's Best Films Of 2005 -- "A beautiful, elegant, elegiac movie, directed with great sensitivity and enhanced by outstanding performances."
4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] beautiful movie....The wide-open spaces of Wyoming, with its jagged, snow-dipped peaks and too-puffy-to-be-true cloud formations, linger long after the credits have faded. There's also a fragile, internalised beauty..."
Total Film
"Mr. Gyllenhaal's Jack is a mercurial mix of plain, poetic and practical. Mr. Ledger's Ennis is touchingly bleak, and self-contained..."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I have seen tachs go both ways, but usually it wont act crazy,itll just kill of the spark at the coil.
Testing a pickup coil, it should be between 400 and 1300 ohms, and also, hook a DVOM to the two leads of the pickup coil, put it on A C volts , have someone crank the engine, and see if it makes about .5 volts AC
The only thing is, intermittents are difficult to test as when they happen , by the time you get setup on it, it may not provide conclusive results as the condition may not be present by then.
Check the pickup coil, then run the truck, and do the tach disconnect test.
The truck has a screw on and inline fuel filter. Both were replaced when the tank, carb and lines were cleaned.
LATECH, will the tach show any abnormal operation when the truck is running poorly? What about the pickup coil, is there a way to test it?
|Are you still getting rust into the carb? A regular carb engine fuel filter will bypass with very little dirt, whereas FI engine filter has no bypass. I use the Ford 5.0 filter from the 88 Mustang on cars with rust in the system.
You could probably just unplug the Instrument panel to test it out.
Unplug it and drive to see if the trouble clears up.
Those tachs are fed right from the - neg side of the coil,one of the two green wires on the neg side,goes to the tach
I have seen the TACH give those exact problems. Its in the dash, as I presume it is the factory one.
Pull the instrument cluster and go drive it, if it clears up, then unhook the tach on the cluster panel.
If the issue is still there It could be a pickup coil in the dizzy, but I would lean towards the ECM. IIRC it has an EEC III type ignition, minimum function computer, and a module with a brown grommet. Somewhere in there is a governor,not sure if it is built in to the ECM or if it is another box under the dash.
I would start with the tach, as I have definitley seen those cause issues just as you describe.
Have a look inside the distributor, if there is no pickup coil, then it has the Duraspark III ignition system.Those have a crankshaft sensor in the back of the engine, not a pickup coil.
1990 F-600 429 Lima engine
My brother in law has a Ford dump truck with a 429 and he is having some problems that neither my dad or I have been able to figure out. Sometimes the engine will run very well and run to ~3500-4000 rpm under load and others it won't go above 1000 rpm in gear or in park without backfiring and cutting out. One day it was running so poorly I had to hook it up to my truck and tow him home. It was fully loaded and my measly gas 6.0 and clutch didn't like that very much. Anyway, we started with checking that the timing was set to the factory spec of 10 degrees BTDC and varied it as far as the distributor would go in either direction. We cleaned the carburetor, fuel lines and fuel tank and changed filters because the tank had a lot of rust. We started it and it ran fine with good power while driving it up and down the road but the next day my dad called me and said it was running poorly again. It would sit at idle for several minutes before the idle would dip down momentarily before returning to its normal idle rpm. After that we installed a temporary fuel pressure gauge and have been observing the fuel pressure and it remains a constant 6 psi regardless of how the engine runs. We even spliced in a MSD coil I had laying around without any change. Today my dad disconnected the entire mess of vacuum lines attached to the engine to see if that would change anything but it didn't.
At this point we know it is getting fuel and air and think it has to be ignition related but can't figure out what. Sometimes we can start it up and it runs just fine but others it starts backfiring and stumbling as soon as you step on the gas. Is there anything else we need to look at?

But the the rest of the Pistons don't cross half court, not one of them, until about 3 seconds later. Amir is doing his job. Dyess is doing his job. The other 3? Sleeping.

North Carolina will wear the all-black uniforms against Miami on Thursday, Oct. 17, at Kenan Stadium. Billed as "Zero Dark Thursday," the Tar Heels will face the Hurricanes on national television in just the second ESPN Thursday night home game in school history.
The all-black uniform on "Zero Dark Thursday" is the first installment of the new "Tar Pit Series," which will feature an alternate uniform or helmet for one game each year. This year's alternate uniform color has been taken from the black tar in the Tar Heel logo.
"Our kids are excited about the new uniforms," said head coach Larry Fedora. "They saw them for the first time Friday and they are fired up about wearing them this year. We wanted to design a uniform that connected our team to The Tar Pit, our name for the student section. Make no mistake, Carolina Blue and white will always be our traditional colors."
The fully integrated uniform system incorporates the latest in performance innovation where the athlete's baselayer works in concert with his entire uniform - true innovation from the inside out. Lightweight padding is integrated directly into the crucial "hit zones" in the baselayer. Innovations include integrated Flywire technology in the neckline for reduced weight and lockdown fit over pads. Additionally, increased sleeve articulation provides better range of motion and four-way stretch fabrication delivers a streamlined shrink-wrap fit. The design enables speed without compromise.
"I haven't had the chance to wear them in a game, but I'm excited about the new look and what Nike has done to enhance the feel of the uniform for players," said senior quarterback Bryn Renner.

Joshua Gordon, the Concord Coalition's policy director, questions using the term "benefit cut" to describe some of the changes that could occur.
"You could be a 65-year-old senior in South Florida who is healthy and getting a free gym membership and you could lose that free gym membership," he said. "We do not consider that a benefit cut."
While it's unclear whether the savings will lead to benefit cuts, the 2012 Ryan budget proposal, issued in 2011, "clearly was a cut to benefits in Medicare," Gordon said. "The initial cut with Democrats happens to providers, and the initial cut with Republicans happens to beneficiaries," he said.

text: 4 of 5. 3 straight wins. And a road victory, regardless of who we played. (We extended Philly's losing streak to 11 tonight.) Atkins started his fifth game for us. But also, Ben Wallace and Jason Maxiell have been starting as well, giving us very good defense inside to start games. Stuckey is doing exactly as he always does when rested properly. Very well, with 27 points tonight and 8 assists if I recall right. Bynum did not make it thru the whole game, turning his other ankle early in the 2nd half. Did not hear anything on how bad he turned this one. When he did play, he was horrible. On multiple occasions, we actually only used one guard - with JJ playing shooting guard, JMAX at small forward, CV and Ben Wallace. Really. About time. But it sure took a lot of injuries to get this coach to try something that works. Another good sign of a coach who is on the right track. He let Summers get some burn. Sure, he let him cool off way too long after a nice string a games ending over 10 days ago, but at least he let him play tonight. Despite all the injuries, we still actually are not short on players at all. Atkins and Stuckey are both healthy, while Daye is perfectly capable to play shooting guard. (With Stuckey moving to shooting gaurd as needed.) Not to mention they can play JJ out of position like they did tonight. JJ was the scoring hero of the 2nd half after going scoreless in the first half. He got 17, on a variety of shots. Cutting to the basket, hitting a three, shortening a shot up and nailing it, putbacks. Atkins did not do so bad, hitting some shots, and doing well enough on Iverson. (Of course, Iverson was rusty as can be.) Daye did about nothing on offense. Looks good otherwise. JMAX hit some shots. Pretty typical when he gets into a good playing pattern. Ben just played great D and hauled in the rebounds. Oh, JJ got another double double too. CV did not do bad, just a little scoring here and there. We have plenty of outside shooters out there to keep the middle freed up for Stuckey, who loves to drive to the basket. Kwame made 7 free throws tonight. Made lots of mistakes here and there. Lets see if the free throws are a blip or a start of actual improvement. Coach made the statement after the game that we have to have Kwame playing well. Nope. We got Wilcox who could be playing those minutes. In all, things are going well. We are winning, and we are developing youth. Our vets are not getting overplayed, with most of them not even playing at all due to injuries. I do question though whether any of them will ever come back healthy though. What with Gordon coming back far before being ready to play. Bynum continually playing way too banged up. Some admire that. I don't. We never needed Bynum or Gordon to play injured. As I mentioned, we still have enough guards without them. Just go big. All I can think of at the moment

How are you going to maximize your Zork II experience if you don't have this hardcore Razer gaming gear? Every "N," "Pick up bucket," and "FROBOZZLE" will come to life with these accessories, though they can't help you with the Bank of Zork puzzle.
-Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 Expert Mechanical Gaming Keyboard- Not a very good deal. Currently the same price on the Amazon website and brand new ones for cheeper.

Cheaper? I see these on amazon for double this price.
Has anyone had any bad experiences with refurbed accessories? I've never pulled the trigger on these for fear of nasty ear cups or gunky mouse buttons.
bought a mechanical keyboard from an earlier RAZER deal. everything worked great except that the "J" key does not work. maybe you will be luckier.
neumbp wrote:Has anyone had any bad experiences with refurbed accessories? I've never pulled the trigger on these for fear of nasty ear cups or gunky mouse buttons.
No bad experience so far, I purchased the 7.1 Tiamat a few months ago and its still going strong. Looked like brand new to me.
Any reviews on the factory reconditioned Carcharias Gaming Headphones? Does anyone have any experience using them with a mac?
I've had a great experience with the Razer refurb equipment I got. The Nostromo speedpad I've been using is awesome.
What's the difference between factory reconditioned and refurbished?
ihopethisnameisavailable wrote:What's the difference between factory reconditioned and refurbished?
Factory means the original company or someone they "cosign" has done the repairs.
Refurbished means any other form of fixing that does not include the above.
I have bought many of the refurb DeathAdder mice, and (knock on wood) have never had any trouble from them even once.
Razer makes great products, and my two gaming sons will swear by all their gear!
Turboblake wrote:Any reviews on the factory reconditioned Carcharias Gaming Headphones? Does anyone have any experience using them with a mac?
I bought these reconditioned about a year or so ago and they're starting to go. I have to mess with the volume thing on the cord to get audio to play evenly through each headphone.
I bought an Arctosa keyboard and had to send it back because it would randomly die on me and I'd have to unplug and replug it.
While I haven't had much luck with Razer refurbs I'll probably wind up getting another pair of the headphones (the replacement keyboard has been fine so far and the process is pretty easy to send it back)
The Ferox Mini speakers are WELL worth getting for that price. they are LOUUUD! I bought an extra set today... RUN and get them
Refurbished products tend to be better than the original in my opinion, I bought an onza tournament edition new about a year and a half ago and the aiming trigger stopped working, sent it in to Razer support got a refurbished one back in about 10 days, and its been working well ever since!
does anyone have experience with the Razer Nostromo? I've been eying it for awhile now with all the Razer deals, but just haven't gone all in yet, I'm a casual gamer
Are the Tiamat headsets worth the money? I've always eyed them from a distance since they were too rich for my pocket, but I might be able to scrape enough together to get one, but which is better and are they worth it? Or am I better off with the Steelseries wireless headset (I have been VERY very happy with my Steelseries Headphones).
Edit: Bah, scratch the Steelseries, communication for xbox only. Why do you do this to me Woot, I want a PC headset!
The keyboard I'm typing on now is a refurbished Razer I bought here last year. Works like a charm. It's not a perfect process, but they have a pretty good reputation.
I purchased the Kabuto mousepad full price 1.5 years ago, and it's still clean and I love it. It's perfect as a laptop mousepad, and keeps my keyboard from marking up my computer screen. Even if you fold it up, the wrinkles don't hold so it always lies flat. $10 is a good deal if you're buying other products from Woot to make use of the $5 shipping. Otherwise it sells for $18 on Amazon, so saving $3 will at least buy you... some packs of ramen?
The carcharias headset is super comfy, but I've been having some issues with the microphone sometimes. (And I bought those brand new from Amazon since I had missed the Woot deal.) I have 2 friends that have used the same model for their office, and they haven't had problems. Comfort wins with that headset.
I've also bought a Razer Mamba mouse that was refurbished from Woot about 2 years ago. Still works great.
fejus wrote:The Ferox Mini speakers are WELL worth getting for that price. they are LOUUUD! I bought an extra set today... RUN and get them
It looks like a lot of people complain about the bass from these speakers. What's your opinion of the sound?
I've bought MANY razer products from woot over the years. Every one of them was refurbished.
I still use most of the gear daily, and I haven't had any problems that came from anything being refurbished. I've had a few minor hiccups (mostly with their software than updates did fix) but otherwise I'm quite happy.
Granted not EVERYTHING razer makes is great. Most is, but they have a few lemons.
What's great: their mice (love the Naga series), and the blackwidow mechanical keyboards. Not so great? Mostly that damn lycosa keyboard (not featured in this lineup). Also many have complained about the Onza controller (I got one, but just didn't care for the ergonomics, otherwise no issues).
I had a quick question about the packaging do these come in the original box or just a woot package because i'm trying to give it as a gift the naga hex?
renegadethunder wrote:I had a quick question about the packaging do these come in the original box or just a woot package because i'm trying to give it as a gift the naga hex?
They should arrive in a product box (original packaging), inside of a shipping box. Hope that helps!
When I got my Black Widow keyboard, it was in a plain, Razer-branded box, not the retail packaging. Don't know if that's a consistent thing or not, though.
They never have the hydra's anymore ;_;
If your concern is the refurb being defective or skeezy, don't worry at all. Refurbs actually go through a more stringent QC testing than brand new stuff.
The only concern I'd have about this event is compatibility. Razer is notorious for saying their multi-button gaming mice are "Mac compatible" when the only things that work are the basic two buttons. Also, check beforehand to see if there are different editions of the same mouse available. A while back I ordered a Mamba from here on Woot. The Woot info said it was a 2012 Edition (which worked with their Synapse software on a Mac), but I got the original Mamba, which was not compatible.
Bought a Deathadder late last year. Its a really good mouse, and I really liked it, but it just recently quit working on me. Razer refurbs only have a 90-day warranty, which I'm out of. Went ahead and purchased a new Logitech G400s and am waiting for shipping.
So a factory reconditioned mouse pad?... Does that mean no Cheeto stains?... Might be a dealbreaker.
veila22 wrote:It looks like a lot of people complain about the bass from these speakers. What's your opinion of the sound?
Well they are Mini Speakers... you cant expect much bass. However if you set them on something like a desk you will have a resonant bass from the desk you will hear
I bought a Naga Molten edition last year from Woot, and the only issue I've had with it is that it does cut out for a few seconds once in a while, which is huge deal when raiding. I usually end up wiping the tracker off quickly (or slamming it down and cussing works too)
The Chimaera headset is not just for Xbox, like the description says. I use it with my computer, just like any other headset.
The wireless range is phenomenal as well, incase you wanted to wander around your backyard with giant headphones on.
The do have a couple complaints though: not knowing how high up the microphone volume is without someone yelling back saying I'm too loud; and if you have glasses, your bows will pinch your ears, or at least from my experience. Maybe my head is too small for the headset itself.
Way too much for a refurbished Razer mechanical keyboard....
You can get a brand new Ducky Zero for the same price (or a Shine II/Shine III for a bit more), the superior CM Quickfire Rapid/Stealth/XT lineup for the same or less, on-sale Das Keyboards for about the same (although new ones aren't any better than Razer, since changing OE), an actual Cherry keyboard (G80, etc), the phenomenally underrated Rosewill mechanical boards for the same or less (made by the same OEM as many of the absolute best of the best mechanical boards), and if you want a board that you can use as an impromptu weapon but which will cost a bit more, the Filco Majestouch is absolutely incredible.
Razer keyboards just aren't up to par, especially if you want the (superior) Brown or Green Cherry MX switches, much less Topre or ALPS!
I have. I got three sets of the same headset, only two worked and one of those two was covered in hardened food debris. I need more headsets and I am hesitant to try the razer stuff from Woot again.. Due to no apparent quality control. This order was over a year ago, so sitting on the fence trying to decide wether to try again.

Sorry you had a bad experience. I hope you emailed email@example.com so they could take care of you.
Keep in mind that these times are Factory Reconditioned which means the work is done by Razer or a 3rd party to their specifications. Woot does not refurbish products.
Bought a refurb Razer headset from Woot. They gave me the "upgraded" USB version by accident, but otherwise identical products. Has been performing very well.
So yeah, I'd have no issue getting another refurb Razer item for myself.
I bought that exact model last year, got sent the USB version. Amazing product for the price I got it at, but would not recommend it at the full retail price.
I have a refurbed Naga Wireless and have had absolutely no issues with it.
Alas! I was hornswoggled by the image of the Lachesis. The image is that of the newer one, what with the color changinglyness and higher DPI, whereas the description (which I didn't really read, cause ain't nobody got time fo dat) is that for the older one, with a single color and lower DPI. Still a good mouse though. This actually makes my 4th Lachesis that I'm currently using.
I must admit I find Logitech products to be far superior, but you don't find many good deals on the ever-awesome G710+ keyboard. I tried the deathadder lefty edition once and the software ruined the whole experience for me. The hardware was solid enough, but I found the inability to reprogram the tilt wheel annoying. All in all, however, if Logitech didn't exist I'd be all over this sale.
I bought the BlackWidow Ultimate Keyboard
2012 blue led version.
I got it on Friday, opened it up today and it's the Mac version instead of the PC version shown in the pic. I've emailed support just waiting now.

AARP today announced a $1 million donation to aid victims in the devastated Gulf Coast region. This support will come from AARP and its affiliated charity, the AARP Foundation. The Association also announced a dollar-for-dollar match for additional contributions by employees, the all volunteer Board of Directors and State Executive Councils, up to another $1 million. The matching program will be administered through the AARP Foundation.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of this terrible tragedy. We recognize that, in situations such as this, we must come together as one to serve, to give, to help and to care," said Bill Novelli, AARP's CEO. "AARP will be channeling the much needed monetary aid to local relief agencies serving older adults."
In the wake of the devastating hurricanes in Florida last year, AARP learned first-hand the unique challenges and needs that older people experience following such catastrophic events. As part of our longer term relief efforts, AARP is committed to deploying resources to aid those affected by this disaster. We will draw upon the resources of our local offices and staff and deploy volunteer teams in coming months, after immediate needs have been addressed and conditions are safer.
These teams, working with local AARP chapters, National Retired Teachers Association (NRTA) units and other AARP and Foundation volunteers, and in coordination with local authorities, will provide a variety of services including outreach for public benefits and tax preparation services. Assistance to community organizations will also be provided by the Foundation's Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) enrollees in impacted areas.
AARP, which was forced to cancel its National Event and Expo in New Orleans, will offer an opportunity to those 12,000 plus members who had already pre-registered to direct their fees to the disaster relief effort.
AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization that helps people 50+ have independence, choice and control in ways that are beneficial and affordable to them and society as a whole. We produce AARP The Magazine, published bimonthly; AARP Bulletin, our monthly newspaper; AARP Segunda Juventud, our bimonthly magazine in Spanish and English; NRTA Live & Learn, our quarterly newsletter for 50 + educators; and our website, www.aarp.org.
