|Topic Review (Newest First)
The Element's really not an ideal park board, so unless you're really partial to flexy bindings go with something a little more responsive, you'll get a better ride in my opinion. I ended up getting Rome Targas, but you can't go wrong with these other options, all of which I considered:
Salomon Relay (best for F series Salomon boots, which I own)
Rome Arsenal
Burton Cartel/CO2/C60/P1.1
Ride, Union, and K2 are also good binding companies, but I narrowed my search before doing much research on what they offer. With any company, stay away from entry level stuff, not worth the savings. And those C60s are sweet (especially the Choco ones on that wood grain), but as with the board it'd be tough to justify dropping $300 plus on bindings when you can get great quality stuff for half that.
Awesome, thanks for the recommendations guys! I checked out the SL-R, and it looks pretty good, but like mwl001 said, I don't know if I can justify dropping the extra cash to myself. Now I just have to choose between the Custom and the Element, which I'll prolly stress over for a bit, lol. I think I'm leaning towards the Element, cause it's cheaper, and I can feel better about trading up in a couple years if I want.
Any suggestions on what bindings go well with the element? I haven't really checked any out at all yet. Thanks!
|I bought the Element as my first board and I love it. Yes the top sheet can get nicks but any board will, it still looks fantastic. 2yr warranty too. I can't remember if the Custom has the channel -- if it does, you may want to think about that; you'll need to get EST bindings or at least adapter discs for whatever binding you choose, the Element has a standard binding screw pattern. Custom is a great board too though you're splitting hairs. I looked at Never Summer boards they are great no doubt, but in the end I didn't feel like I was getting a ton more for the extra $$ -- if you think it will be worth it, they're fantastic and have a 3 year warranty.
Take a look at the Never Summer SL-R. Sounds like it's up your ballpark, with freeriding being priority and freestyle being second. Never Summer also has stiffer boards if you want to go even more freeride. Never Summer boards are kinda expensive, but if your in the intermediate/advanced bracket it's worth getting a really nice board to help you progress faster. These boards are super tough, American made, and high-preformance. If you look hard for a sale, you should be able to pick up a 2010 SL-R for around $400, it's going to be one of the most expensive just because it's their best seller.
SL-R: { SL-R } Never Summer Boards
Heritage,(more of a freeride board): { Heritage-R & Heritage XR } Never Summer Boards
choosing an all-mountain board (element v custom)
I'm getting ready to buy my first board, til now I've been riding my friends old board for a couple years. Its done me well, but i'm ready to move on.
Me: 5'11, 160lbs, intermediate/advanced rider, i ride a bit more powder than park, and the occasional groomer, love my freeriding.
What i want in a board: Won't kill me if i ride switch (this is a skill i'm trying to improve, but its not something i do that often), can handle both the park and backcountry. Its also pretty important to me that my board will last me a good couple years, and wont get trashed by a couple wipeouts or skiers running over it. Price range ~$300ish.
I've done a fair bit of research, and looked pretty hard at the Arbor Element, Burton Custom, and Ride Antic. The element is my clear favorite, it gets great reviews, is fast, perfect for my price range ($300 at rei right now), and has SICK graphics. Possible downsides, its not twinish (im just nitpicking), and I've heard reports that the topsheet gets damaged kinda easily, so not great marks for durability. This is what concerns me the most. The custom of course sounds great, only downsides are that i dont like the graphics, see this board everywhere, and it's $50 more than the element. Still, i can live with all those if the element isn't for me. The antic is my backup choice, i don't know as much about it as the other boards except that it's cheaper and doesn't have a bad rep.
So, i'm looking for recommendations, and help making the choice, cause i just can't decide anymore I also know i haven't looked much at boards outside the mainstream, so if you think there is something that would fit me better, mention it. thanks guys!

Hello everyone,
I've been wanting to post up for a while now, but just haven't had time.
I started this project back in February knowing absolutely nothing about costuming, and having no artistic or mechanical talent what-so-ever. I recevied advice to start here from my Academy advisor at 501st Garrison Carida, and after signing up my life changed forever!
A BIG thank you to this community for being so willing to share your advice, talents, and encouragement. Thank You to Art for Supplying the means for all of these talented folks to share their gifts.
My suit is by no means perfect, but I am Very Pleased with the Result. I had to skimp in some areas, as I was starting with nothing, including Prop building supplies and tools. I also did not have an unlimited budget. Upgrades are a part of every Fett Costume from what I have learned and mine will be no different.
I wanted to thank the people who helped me along the way, Sorry but the list is Very Long:
Rob, Mark, and Shawn, and Joe From Garrison Carida
A Special Thank YOU to Roddie From Garrison Carida for GIVING me several pieces of my costume (Shoulders, Neck armor, Ammo Belt, Left Gauntlet, Cape, Cod and Kidney plates)
FettDad for being an awesome friend and constant and reliable source for any and all information as well as being a master of the EE-3 and a great JP Harness maker
Stormtrooperguy and Slave1pilot for posting the painting tutorials I used to paint my helmet, knees, jetpack, and most of my armor.
Fettpride for making the most awesome helmet ever
MAN OF WAR for his Jetpack kit
Woodman for making the most awesome wookie braids ever
Serenity for his amazing Aluminum accessories
Lady Sew For Us and Arkady for their top notch soft parts
and Lucksy for his amazing decals
Boo BOO FETT for his sweet diver's buckles
Several other members also helped me by selling off pieces of their suits because they were upgrading Jawafive, Artek, VeganMando.
If I forgot any one I apologize, There are so many of you to thank I would not be surprised if I forgot someone.
I am honored to be an approved member of Garrison Carida now and would never have achieved this dream without TDH. I was able to participate in my first troop yesterday, at a public library, and it is an experience I will never forget. I can't wait for my next opportunity.
Thank You again TDH!
Mike Bryant

So, based on Don Posts statue from years and years ago, we have all believed Fett's last shin tool (the only one which hasn't been found at this point), the "jet pack adjustment tool" looked something like this:
However, after a lot of hard work by Wes, we no longer believe this to be the case. Wes has found a vintage microphone that is VERY close to matching the tool we see barely peeking out of Fett's pocket... the only real difference being that the lip of the mic Wes found is slightly beveled where the original is flat. I just bought a couple of these off eBay to verify that they are very close but not quite correct and we thought we would throw it out here to you guys to see if you could help with the search!
The mic Wes found (and I will be more than content using until the correct model is identified) is a vintage Shure 530 omnidirectional microphone.
The mic has been gutted and the bottom removed. It is super light weight and matches up nicely to the photos (what little we can see) except for the aforementioned slight bevel. This tool is seen on the Preproduction #1, Preproduction #2, Preproduction #3, and ESB suit (during the Executor Bridge scenes, but is missing in the Carbon Chamber scenes).
Since we haven't been able to ID it positively but feel that Wes has gotten us really close, we thought we would throw it out to you guys and see what you can do with it!
Good luck, good hunting, and a big thanks to Wes for letting us make this info available!!!

Tuesday, December 4, 2012
Hello from the Cocoon Club in Piraeous, a location overlooking a picturesque marina as the sun sets. A cracking way to build up to tonight's game and try and forget the disappointment of Saturday.
Analysis of that defeat has been lengthy and detailed so it doesn't really need me to add to it.
The simple facts are we were poor on the day and lost to the better side.
Just a short blog this afternoon as the pre-match fare won't consume itself!
Then it's off to a stadium we have visited three times in the last four years for a game with very little on it for either side.
However, the importance for some of our squad couldn't be bigger so it will be interesting to see how they get on.
Cheers Gooners!

British Justice Secretary Jack Straw will make a statement about claims that a senior Muslim MP was bugged by police while meeting with a constitutent in prison. Conservatives want to know what the Brown government knew about Scotland Yard's anti-terrorism unit. The police allegedly listened into a private conversation between Sadiq Khan, a Labor whip, and Babar Ahmad, who is facing extrdition to the United States for trial over supposedly running a website to raise funds for Chechen separatists and Afghanistan's Taliban. Ahmad is a childhood friend of the MP.
The director of Liberty, a human rights group, said there could only be a case for bugging if the Labor MP was a suspect in a criminal case. Khan said: "I'm pleased Jack Straw, as soon as he heard about these allegations, has ordered an inquiry… the implications are quite serious." This is merely another example of how fear of "terrorists" has clouded our basic rights for free speech and the right to privacy.

I found one topic on this already, but I have a question to add.
So I hunt in Idaho, the thermometer reads -17 this morning. I shot a limit a few days ago, and the ducks froze solid in my truck overnight. as of now, theyre still in the back of my truck, completely frozen stiff and whole (not gutted or dressed at all).
What should i do with them to save the breasts? i figure they're probably not worth plucking at this point. another topic here from 2007 says theyre fine to eat, and i believe it, i just want some suggestions on how i should go about thawing them and removing the breasts. two drake wigeon, two greenheads and 3 hen greenwing teal. all rock-solid

Apple launched its next-gen tablet, the new iPad, yesterday at a San Francisco event. Among the standout features includes a Retina display with 2048×1536 resolution, meaning that the new iPad has 1 million more pixels than a 1080p HDTV. Further, the device packs a dual-core CPU, a quad-core A5X graphics processor, LTE support, worldwide 3G support, and 10-hour battery life (nine hours on 4G). I expect that these upgrades will undoubtedly be enough to attract consumers and enterprises alike and further consolidate Apple's resounding tablet market leadership globally.
So what will be the impact of the new iPad on the rapidly evolving telecom industry? I believe it will disrupt the market due to the following:

An Aerosol Tour de Forcing
According to the latest (2001) IPCC report, direct radiative forcing by anthropogenic aerosols cools the planet, but the forcing magnitude is highly uncertain, with a global, annual average between -0.35 and -1.35 W/m2 at the top of the atmosphere (TOA). The uncertainty of the total indirect effect is even larger. Aerosols eventually fall out of the atmosphere or are washed out by rainfall. The smaller particles having the largest radiative effect typically reside in the atmosphere for only a few days to a few weeks. This time is too short for them to be mixed uniformly throughout the globe (unlike CO2), so there are large regional variations in aerosol radiative forcing, with the largest effects predictably downwind of industrial centers like the east coast of North America, Europe, and East Asia. Consequently, aerosol effects upon climate are larger in particular regions, where they are key to understanding twentieth century climate change.
Aerosol concentrations have been measured downwind of sources over the past few decades, but the number of observing sites is limited and the analysis is laborious. Since the late 1970's, satellite instruments have detected aerosols routinely with nearly global coverage. However, only the combined effect of all aerosols upon radiation impinging upon the satellite was originally measured. The original instruments couldn't distinguish between dust and sulfate aerosols where both were present, over the Mediterranean or East Asia, for example. Recent instruments, like the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) measure radiation at multiple wavelengths. This allows particle size to be distinguished with greater confidence, which can be used with some assumptions to infer the aerosol species.
The new generation of satellite instruments is at the heart of recent attempts to reduce the large uncertainty of direct radiative forcing by aerosols. Each of these studies provides an estimate of the most likely value, along with a range of uncertainty. Bellouin et al. (2005) in Nature arrive at TOA forcing of -0.8 ± 0.1 W/m2. While near the center of the range published by the IPCC, this estimate is noteworthy for its comparatively small uncertainty. Yet on the same day, Chung et al. (2005) published an article in the JGR, estimating based upon similarly extensive calculations that the forcing by aerosols at TOA is -0.35 ± 0.25 W/m2. A few months earlier, Yu et al. (2005) had estimated a more conciliatory value of -0.5 ± 0.33 W/m2. The wide range of estimates give some indication the difficulty of the problem.
Forcing estimates differ not only at TOA but also at the surface: Bellouin et al. predict that aerosols reduce the net radiation incident upon the surface by 1.9 ± 0.2 W/m2 compared to 3.4 ± 0.1 W/m2 for Chung et al. (2005). That is, Chung et al. estimate much greater atmospheric absorption. Because radiation into the surface is mainly balanced by evaporation, except within extremely arid regions, the discrepancy has implications for the supply of moisture to the atmosphere. Chung et al. estimate a much larger reduction in global rainfall by aerosols.
What are the sources of disagreement and uncertainty? Ideally, one would know the three-dimensional distribution of each aerosol species and its evolution throughout the year. One would also be able to distinguish natural and human fractions of each species. For sulfate aerosols, this means distinguishing droplets created by industrial sources, compared to biogenic sources. In addition, the ability of each particle to scatter radiation would be known as a function of its age and aggregation with other species (in the way that dust can be coated with sulfates when passing over industrial areas, for example). Many of these processes are included in aerosol models, but some of the key parameters are uncertain given limited observations.

Box score
John Snellman tallied his second goal of the game with just one tick left on the clock to cap a wild final 110 seconds to give the Fairfield University men's lacrosse team a 10-9 victory over the University of Hartford. The victory improves the Stags record to 6-5, while the Hawks fall to 7-4.
Hartford took its final lead of the game, 8-7, on an Aiden Genik goal with 46 seconds to play in the third quarter. Neither team was able to tally a goal over the first 13 minutes of the final stanza until Doug Kuring fed Sam Snow for the game-tying goal with 1:50 to play. Rookie Jordan Greenfield put Fairfield ahead 9-8 with 55 seconds remaining as he scored his fourth goal of the game.
The Hawks tied the game with 19 seconds remaining on a goal from Ryan Compitello, 9-9. Hartford won the ensuing face-off and Conor Flynn launched a shot that was blocked with eight seconds remaining. Brendan McTague scooped the ground ball to Brent Adams who passed it along to Sean Bannon at midfield. Bannon fired the ball to the stick of Snellman who beat the keeper and the clock for the win.
Charlie Cipriano earned the win in net for the Stags making 12 saves, for his fourth consecutive double-digit effort. It also marks the ninth time this season he has held an opponent to less than 10 goals in a game. Scott Bement took the loss for Hartford, allowing all 10 goals and making 10 saves.
Max Trunz tallied a team-best five points in the game with a pair of goals and three assists. Greenfield led the Stags with four goals, while Snellman touched net twice. Fairfield out shot Hartford 41-34 for the game that included a 15-5 edge in the final quarter.
Hartford received a five-goal, one-assist effort from Carter Bender, while Compitello had a goal and two assists. Conner Yatauro was the only other Hawk to score multiple goals with two tallies. Tim Fallon went 16-23 at the face-off X for the Hawks, picking up a game-high 12 ground balls. The Hawks finished the game with a 31-18 advantage in face-offs.
Fairfield's defense was perfect in its man-down efforts once again, not allowing Hartford a goal in its two chances. It is the second game in a row that the Stags have not allowed an opponent to score a man-up goal.
The Stags will return to action on Saturday, April 16 when they host #8 Hofstra at 1 p.m. The contest, scheduled to be played on Lessing Field, will be preceded by a ceremony honoring the Fairfield senior class.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson will give his pre-match view and you can get his post-match verdict in our Talking Tactics feature on Arsenal Player.
Arsène Wenger and his side host Marseille in the Champions League on Tuesday so, to find out more, we also asked journalist Julien Laurens for his thoughts and analysis.
"Marseille's attacking players failed to show their true qualities a fortnight ago due to an improved defensive display from Arsenal, but Arsène Wenger's men must be aware of what they can produce.
"Loic Remy, the central striker, has real pace and will always look to make runs behind defenders and once in those areas he is a good finisher. Yet his link-up play in deeper areas is erratic, so Arsenal should not play too square and allow him space to run into."
"I think Marseille will be even more defensive this time. Didier Deschamps said yesterday that they will try to put together a team that can defend really well and play on the counter to try and trouble Arsenal. The idea is to be very solid at the back first of all, and then maybe to catch Arsenal out on the break.
"Since the first game they have improved a bit by winning their last three matches in a row and are now unbeaten in their last six league games. They have gained some more confidence and have improved their football too so they are a slightly better team than two weeks ago. I think Arsenal will have to be a little bit cautious.
"In the last two games they have played a 4-4-2 formation which worked well in France, but really against poor opposition. It is a completely different story tonight against a very strong Arsenal team. They will have to make sure they defend well on the wings and track back well.
"I think they will have a special Van Persie plan as well. I think to start with they will try to cut the relationship between him, Ramsey and Arteta. They know that the fewer balls he gets, the fewer opportunities he will have to score.
"I think Wenger may make a few changes, but not many. Maybe Andrey Arshavin will come in for Theo Walcott or Gervinho to give one of those a rest, perhaps Rosicky as well. Jenkinson may start as well just to give some of the players a bit of a breather.
"To be fair Marseille are not a team like Chelsea. Anybody who comes in for Arsenal should be good enough to play against them.
"I think Arsenal will win again, but this one will be a bit more comprehensive. I think Marseille have improved since the first game but so have Arsenal. The game on Saturday was a massive boost for the team and I really cannot see them not winning this, especially in front of their own fans. I'll go for 2-0, which would be a good result."

Softball Sweeps Thursday Doubleheader at Detroit
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Playing a rare weekday conference doubleheader at Detroit, the Green Bay softball team escaped with a sweep over the Titans at Buysse Ballpark on Thursday afternoon.
The Phoenix took game one in extra innings, 3-2, and held on for an 8-7 triumph in game two. The sweep helped Green Bay improve to 19-11 overall and 6-4 in conference action.
The squad will return to the diamond at home this weekend, hosing UIC for a three-game series on Saturday and Sunday.
Game One – Green Bay 3, Detroit 2 (8 innings)
It took extra innings, but a big one out solo home run by senior Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis.) in the top of the eighth inning helped Green Bay edge Detroit, 3-2, in game one of the doubleheader.
A home run by Christa McGahuey in the home half of the first inning gave the Titans an early 1-0 advantage. Green Bay evened the score in the top of the third. Freshman Allie Taylor (Waunakee, Wis.) started the inning with a single and advanced all the way to third on back-to-back sacrifice bunts from sophomore Ashley Baker (Green Bay, Wis.) and classmate Kelli Hutchinson (Trevor, Wis.) before scoring on a passed ball.
However the Titans got that run and the lead back in the home half of the third as Kayla Kostich delivered an RBI single to put them up, 2-1.
The scoreboard was quiet for the next three innings before Green Bay dented it in the top of the seventh to tie the game and send it to extra innings. Senior Stacey Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) led off by reaching on an error by the Detroit shortstop, advanced to second on a sacrifice by freshman Katelyn Huemmer (Sun Prairie, Wis.) and moved to third on a single from Taylor. The second passed ball of the game evened the score as Stacey Butts crossed home on the catchers' miscue to put the score at 2-2.
Detroit looked to steal the game in the bottom of the seventh as it loaded the bases with one out, but senior Ashley Nannemann (Burlington, Wis.) worked out of the jam by striking out Grace Schmeiser and getting McGahuey to ground out to send the game into extra innings.
It didn't take long for the Phoenix to seal the win in the eighth, after Reinke stepped to the plate with one out and drilled a shot to left field to give Green Bay the 3-2 advantage.
The Titans made it interesting in the bottom of the eighth, putting two on with two out but again Nannemann stepped up and got her final batter faced to line out to third and end the game.
Reinke finished the game 2-for-4 with an RBI and run scored, while Taylor was a clean 3-for-3 with a run scored.
Nannemann (6-7) threw the complete game winning effort, allowing two earned runs on six hits with seven strikeouts and five walks.
Game Two – Green Bay 8, Detroit 7
After a low-scoring first game, Green Bay and Detroit put up a combined 13 runs over the final four innings as the Phoenix held on for the 8-7 win in game two of the twinbill.
It was a quiet first three innings, as the Titans were held hitless and Green Bay mustered just two hits.
Solo home runs by senior Shannon Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) and freshman Katelyn Huemmer (Sun Prairie, Wis.) in the top of the fourth inning proved to be the offensive spark the Phoenix needed to break through and take a lead it would not relinquish the rest of the way.
The hot hitting continued in the fifth as sophomore Kelli Hutchinson (Trevor, Wis.) hit a one out double and senior Hailey Mohrfeld (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) followed with a home run to add to the lead, 4-0.
Detroit pulled to within a run (4-3) with a three-run bottom of the fifth, but Green Bay got one of those back on an RBI single from freshman Abby Brinkmeier (Eagan, Minn.) in the top of the sixth and two more in the top of the seventh with solo home runs by senior Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis.) and sophomore Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) to go up, 7-4.
The Titans again made the game interesting bringing in two runs on four hits in the bottom of the seventh, but it stranded also stranded three as sophomore Briana Cavin (Elk Grove Village, Ill.) shut the door after re-entering the game to seal the 7-6 victory.
Green Bay finished with an impressive five home runs in the game, led by a 2-for-3 performance by Huemmer and Brinkmeier and a 2-for-4 showing by Shannon Butts.
Cavin threw a combined 5.2 innings, including a re-entry in the seventh inning, allowing three unearned runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts and one walk. Freshman Heather Sanderson (Rapid River, Mich.) threw the other 1.1 innings, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits with a walk and strikeout.

Arsène Wenger says that Arsenal's improving performance off the pitch will make them even more competitive on it.
The Club is strengthening its commercial position all the time and recently returned from its first tour of the Far East where the first-team squad played friendly matches in Malaysia and China.
Wenger understands the need to travel globally to help us build revenues for future investment.
"On the commercial side we may be behind clubs like Man United, and we are trying to reduce the gap," said Wenger.
"We work very hard on it, and that is one of the reasons we have gone to Asia. We have a big name abroad, but to transform that into resources is a bit more complicated. That's what we try to do.
"It's the only chance we have [to compete]. In England we cannot go any higher with our income, that is why we have to go international."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by orientalplane, Dec 28, 2010.
I hadn't realized Furnish was so much younger (48) than Elton (63). When I'd heard a while back they were trying to adopt, I thought it was a bad idea because of age reasons. I still have some concerns re: age, but less so now.
A surprisingly normal combination of names.
That was my first reaction, as well. My father's great uncle married some younger (40 something) woman, when he was in his late 60's. They had 2 kids, the great uncle was quite proud of his abilities . But, he died when the oldest was 6 and the woman died a year or two later, so two young orphans .
And he shall be Levon. He shall be a good man. Love this story! Been an Elton fan for years and he seems so happy with David.
I saw that and could not believe it. They weren't making out or anything on the cover, for goodness sake. I don't even know if they were touching! I am not sure if a child would even think twice after looking at that cover.
Well now that it is covered up you can be sure every kid who goes through that store is going to sneak a look. Great way to draw attention to something that most people wouldn't have even noticed.
Exactly - kids always loving doing what they are told not to!! And do people really think looking at a couple of guys holding a baby is going to turn someone gay So stupid
I just saw the covered cover on the View....how ridiculous, a lot of people might not have noticed as it was, now a lot of people will be peaking trying to see what's covered up....and hopefully realize it's not a big deal at all.
I hate censorship.
P.S. I have the magazine, it's a very nice article & they seem estatic with their new baby. I wish the new little family the best and am looking forward to seeing Elton in concert next month!
Lucky you! He's not playing in Vancouver but I've entered a contest to go see him in Victoria. I did see him live once before in the Face 2 Face tour with Billy Joel, and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

Avalung / hydrater back pack
113 Attachment(s)
I'm a second year rider whose progressed greatly. I love trees and when tree well danger isn't a huge factor I can nail the trees with ease and confidence.
However, when the pow is deep the trees scare me which we all know leads to lack of confidence which leads to landing in a tree well. HELL even the best of them end up in a tree well sometimes.
Guaranteed lifesaver, no. You still have to get out, call for help, etc....
I've been thinking about the lightest avalund / hydrater pack on the market.
Do any of you board with the avalung for safety?
i have one that i'll slap onto my BC pack if its really deep.
you are a beginner, and riding with a backpack (unless you are in the backcountry where it is required for safe travel) beginner or not is going to really mess with your balance and slow your progression.
it may be the backpack that puts your ass in that treewell....
keep in mind that you have to be wearing the mouthpiece IN your mouth for it to work. you'll put an avalung in your mouth before you drop in on a wide open face you just hiked up, but whenever you dip into the trees? i wouldn't.
if you're nervous about riding in the trees its probably your self-preservation instinct because you just might not be there yet. riding in the trees requires you to keep your speed up and to think and visualize like 3 turns ahead of you. you not only have to have the skills, but you have to have the confidence that you KNOW you have the skill... an avalung isn't going to be what makes you safer and a backpack isn't worth wearing unless you have to.
113 Attachment(s)
I might be a 'beginner' but I'm far progressed beyond the label. I could ride with a keg on my back and adjust.
I did state, and prove, that tress don't phase me when there is little to no tree well danger.
Ask snowolf...
i don't have to ask snowolf.
riding with a backpack throws you off. period.
riding with a backpack at the resort, unless you are filming and carrying DSLR camera equipment - is stupid and will slow down your progression.
i have fallen into treewells and volcanic vents. i have fallen in upside-down. i have lost friends to tree impacts.
what you need is solid skills. if you want to survive a treewell get good at manipulating your binding straps. be able to reach them while upside down. wear a helmet to prevent being knocked unconscious, sure - but wearing an avalung in a treewell is just going to give you another 15 minutes in a situation where noone is probably looking for you anyway.
avalungs were designed to give you time to breath in an avalanche burial - dense, compacted snow and (hopefully) an active rescue. treewells are different. the snow is not dense and your friends are either right there (watched you go in or noticed you missing on that run) and are digging you out or noone watched you go in and its up to you to get out or we'll see ya in the spring.
i get the feeling i'm not going to be able to convince you i'm right here - and you're free to do whatever you want, but you'd be better off with a lifealert bracelet or a 2way radio in a treewell situation...
113 Attachment(s)
I've been thinking of alert resources all summer. You mention life alert 2 way radio.
Aren't ski patrols radios on a trunked system?
Life alert..... will that work in the deep and if so what frequency does it run on?
Tree wells and DSI are serious hazards amongst the best boarding conditions.
There has to be a good preventive measure
life alert is that thing the little old lady has in the "i've fallen and i can't get up!" commercials. i was being sarcastic
you are right that they are serious hazards. the best things for the trees or other potentially hazardous situations (avy terrain) is to always ride with a partner and to use good judgment.
an avalung simply was not designed for this purpose. would it give you extra time in some treewell situations? sure, yes.
in an avalanche you have 15 minutes of air without the help of an avalung. the snow of an avalanche is much denser (think concrete) then the snow of any treewell that you could sink into, so... see how its an apples to avocados kinda thing? yes you could breath longer with an avalung in your mouth when you went into a treewell, but rarely will you be chilling out for 20+ minutes unless you're unconscious or really really stuck.
you'd be better off with a cell phone.
113 Attachment(s)
I've been seriously thinking of getting a pre-paid verizon phone for Emergency purposes, but like you say and I know, a tree well can treat you good or F u
113 Attachment(s)
Previous post of yours .
the best way to stay safe around treewells, or in any avy terrain is to:
1. ride with a partner and stay within sight of each other.
2. have a radio/cellphone. whistle.
3. remain conscious when you go under (helmet?)
4. avalung and beacon
5. know how to get out of your bindings without looking, while upside down, with limited mobility
6. know your terrain. know how to recognize this stuff. pay attention to the snow conditions and quality.
7. wear bright clothing.
i am sure there is more stuff, but a blowtorch ain't one of em
#5 and #3perhaps could be THE most important...
Edit: #6 is THEEEE most important. :D
this shit is long... but a brutal reality of how scary it could be... and relevant to the discussion... anyhow - time isn't so much the issue. the worst time i was in upside down and covered it was being able to get out of my bindings that made it easy (relatively) for me to self-rescue.
113 Attachment(s)
The point is this shit can happen to anyone pro or novice. this is a great survival video but it relies solely on cell phone, which is not available at meadows if you're using att.
even if using verizon this guy was lucky enough to be able to reach his phone.
thx for the vids....... just one more which i have not seen that preps me for the hazard.

Give us some tips.

Thanks Caio. In April you ask me about the experience.
Edward, you can't think like that. When I was younger I used to think like you but from night to day the door opened and the chance apeared. It can happen to you too. Good luck.

Automotive component supplier Behr favours particularly reliable solutions
Behr, a system partner to the international automotive industry for vehicle air conditioning and engine cooling systems, turned to two intralogistics partners for its plant in Neustadt an der Donau: ground conveyor manufacturer Still and battery charging systems specialist Fronius. A shrewd move, as demonstrated over a number of years.
From a family business to a global player
Behr GmbH & Co. KG specialises in vehicle air conditioning and engine cooling systems. Its headquarters are in Stuttgart. From its humble origins in 1905 as a small family business, Behr has grown to become a global supplier to the automotive industry. The company is a leading international OEM for passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
Neustadt an der Donau has been home to a Behr manufacturing plant since 1987. The facility supplies components, modules, complete systems and large assemblies to manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Porsche, Daimler and Volvo.
Approximately 1.35 million air conditioning units leave the factory gates every year. As a result, the traffic volumes for goods-in and goods-out, as well as the internal transport of materials to and from the production halls, are particularly high. All material transport is performed using ground conveyors, i.e. 17 electric forklift trucks, five small tugger trains for transporting small parts - each comprising an electric tractor unit and three trailers - and two tiller-controlled electric lift trucks.
Every single battery charger for the forklift batteries is supplied by the Austrian manufacturer Fronius. Battery charging systems with 'Active Inverter Technology' - an intelligent charging technology - have been mandatory for Behr Neustadt since 2001. This stipulation has been in place ever since Behr managers learned of this charging technology from a local automobile manufacturer and were advised to try it for themselves.
Read more about the reasons of Behr to choose Fronius charging technology and what challenges had to be dealt with at Behr.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick failed to pass a concussion test and will not be cleared to practice on Thursday.
Vick has not played since he suffered what coach Andy Reid called a "significant concussion" in a Week 10 game against the Dallas Cowboys.
The oft-injured quarterback had completed 58.5 percent of his passes for 2,165 yards with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions this season.
He has played a full, 16-game season just once in his career, in 2006 for the Atlanta Falcons.
Rookie Nick Foles has started the last two games for Philadelphia in place of Vick and it seems likely he will make his third career start for the 3-8 Eagles.
Foles has completed 59.6 percent of his passes for 542 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions over two-plus games for Philadelphia, which is in the midst of a seven-game losing streak and will face the Cowboys on Sunday.

Plot to castrate, kill Justin Bieber allegedly hatched in prison near Las Cruces
Court documents: Convicted murderer obsessed with Bieber
Bieber fever gone too far: New Mexico State police confirm two inmates at a Las Cruces prison plotted to kill teen pop star Justin Bieber.
A spokeswoman for the Southern New Mexico Correctional Facility didn't say much about the crazy plot, but radio DJs all over the country can't stop talking about it.
"And if Justin Bieber didn't know about New Mexico, he knows now. Two people have been arrested. They allegedly had a plan to castrate and kill the Biebs," Magic 105 DJ Angie Krol said on her radio show on Thursday.
It's the buzz all across the country, from radio to entertainment blogs to social media.
Investigators said two inmates at the prison hatched a plan to kill four people, including Bieber and his bodyguard.
Cristina Rodda, a spokeswoman for the prison, wouldn't say anything about the foiled plot.
According to a police affidavit, Dana Martin, 45, is already in prison for murder, is a huge Bieber fan, and even has a tattoo of Bieber's face on his leg.
Martin allegedly plotted to kill Bieber after the pop star didn't answer any of his fan mail.
A representative for the teen sent out this brief statement: "We take every precaution to protect and ensure the safety of Justin and his fans."
ABC-7 spoke with a few Bieber fans in Las Cruces who are shocked.
"I don't know why anybody would do that. That's crazy. I would honestly cry," said Bieber fan Noemi Melendrez.
"That's pretty crazy. I wouldn't expect that coming from a prisoner. I know there's teenage girls out there who are obsessed about him, but a grown man in prison?" Las Cruces teen Celeste Ferrera said.
An affidavit filed in Las Cruces said Martin told investigators he persuaded a man he met in prison and the man's nephew to kill Bieber, along with Bieber's personal bodyguard and two others not connected to the pop star.
The plot contained several gruesome details. Investigators say the plotters wanted to castrate two of the victims with hedge clippers before traveling to New York City to find Bieber. The targets of the castration plot were not connected to Bieber, authorities say, and it doesn't appear that the pop singer was ever in immediate danger of falling victim to the plot.
Martin, a Vermont man who is serving two life sentences for the 2000 killing of a 15-year-old girl, said he was angry at Bieber because he didn't respond to any of his letters. "This perceived slight made Mr. Martin upset and that, coupled with Mr. Martin's perception of being a 'nobody' in prison, led him to begin plotting the kidnap and murder of Victim 3," court documents said.
The documents identified Victim 3 as "J.B.," which New Mexico State Police spokesman Lt. Robert McDonald later confirmed was Justin Bieber.
Martin told investigators that Mark Staake and Tanner D. Ruane headed from New Mexico to the East Coast, planning to be near a Bieber concert scheduled in New York City after killing and castrating two others. But authorities say they missed a turn and crossed into Canada from Vermont. Staake was arrested on an outstanding warrant. Ruane was arrested later.
Court documents say Martin told investigators that Bieber was the "ultimate target." No one was killed in the alleged elaborate plot.
New York State Police said Thursday that troopers recovered tools and documents associated with the conspiracy while during a search warrant on Ruane's vehicle. Among the items found by troopers were a "hand-written drawing of a depiction of Justin Bieber" and documents about the intended victims in Vermont.
Staake, 41, of Albuquerque, has been charged with two counts each of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit aggravated battery with a deadly weapon in connection to the plan.
Ruane, 23, Staake's nephew, also is facing multiple charges related to the plot.
Clinton Norris, of the New Mexico State Police investigations bureau in Las Cruces, said in an affidavit that Martin instructed the suspects to strangle the two first intended targets with paisley neckties, the same kind used in his 2000 murder case. The documents do not give details on how they were to kill Bieber.
McDonald declined to say if any of the murder charges are linked to Bieber. "That is part of the ongoing investigation," he said.
Bieber's management issued a statement that said, "we take every precaution to protect and insure the safety of Justin and his fans."
It was not immediately known if the suspects had lawyers.
The spokeswoman for the prison told ABC-7 Staake is being extradited back to the prison after violating his probation. She also said Martin is being kept in isolation.

Tenant participation
Tenant Participation is a two way process of sharing information and ideas, where tenants and tenant groups are able to influence decisions and take part in the decision-making process.
Within Tandridge this means building closer links with tenants through tenants groups and discussing any proposed changes to the housing service before decisions are made. Keeping tenants informed and giving them opportunity to be involved in decisions about their housing is central to the development of the service.
Tenants and councillors have agreed a structure for participation, set out in the Tenant Participation Compact. This will ensure the partnership that has been developed flourishes. Tenant and leaseholder representatives attend a variety of meetings, conferences, focus groups and training sessions.
Tenants' and Leaseholders' Newsletters
Tandridge Tenants Talking is produced by the Residents' Forum twice a year and sent to every council tenant and leaseholder.
For copies of previous newsletters, please contact your Management Officer.
You can also complete the Have your say about housing services form to tell us how you would like to be involved.

The 5-year-old bay mare — meeting easier competition after a seventh-place finish in the Grade I Yellow Ribbon at Santa Anita Park, covered 1 ½ miles on the Lakeside Turf Course in 2:28.58 while paying $5.60, $3.40 and $2.60. Brushed Gold, ridden by Garrett Gomez, paid $5.40 and $3.40, while the show payoff on second-choice Caprice with Rafael Bejarano up was $2.60.
High Heel Sneakers, a Great Britain-bred owned by Christopher Wright and trained by Ben Cecil, won for the third time in 20 starts. The winner's share of $42,925 raised her earnings to $212, 137. The win was her first in four U.S. starts.
"This race set up the way we hoped," Cecil said. "I didn't think there would be a lot of pace, so we decided if there was no pace to sit fairly close. The problem with a filly like this is there aren't too many races, so we'll have to see where we go. Because we're running out of options, she could run against the boys – maybe the Hollywood Turf Cup."
Gomez had no complaints aboard the runner-up.
"She's one of those true stayers," he said. "She doesn't quicken much but she just stays at it. We picked up the tempo when we got to the backside just to let her get a little more comfortable, but she just stayed at the same pace all the way around."
With a Pick Six carryover of $112,486 entering Sunday, an additional $630,918 was wagered. The payoff to three perfect tickets was $154,253.20.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
continuing to overwhelm and flood the dog with this fearful situation won't help the dog .
this is wrong "PP dogs are trained to become PP dogs from 2 weeks of their age by the breeder"
this is an excellent book http://www.amazon.com/Fired-Up-Frantic-Freaked-Out/dp/0985934921
@David, yes, all those things could have happened honestly, and I won't ever really know. He was an owner surrender and could have been neglected by his breeder, accidentally traumatized by a vet, or anything. He came to us from a home with no abuse that I could see, but anything could have happened before then even. Interesting idea though, I'll keep an eye on his reactions to her if she joins us again.

It well could draw him back in memory. Is it possible that he was returned to the breeder when he was very young? PP dogs are trained to become PP dogs from 2 weeks of their age by the breeder. But some trainers buy puppies at the later age in order to raise and sell already trained in protection dogs. Pretending to be a potential owner, they "try" puppies for suitability, leave brave ones and return to the breeder those with weaker nerves. These puppies later would show strong reaction to the person of similar bodily constitution, sometimes it seems illogical, how possibly the pup could be not scared even a little of a big bulky man, and scared of slim and short? Something should add to it, like some particular itonations of his voice. That is one scenario.
Another scenario could explain. A similar looking man could work for the breeder. Say, a cleaner. Puppies must be held in sterile conditions, he could be not terribly careful moving them.
A third scenario - it was a vet. Not every vet has plenty of time to fiddle with puppies if they don't want to be handled, he could simply grab yours, make injection - and here you go! And the vet was a big man, who came in a coat and a hat.
Makes sense, thanks. I know most dogs don't truly protect unless trained, but someone else in the class said he was protecting me, and I wondered if I missed a signal.
An entire family of cross-country skiers coming at us head on at the park doesn't faze him, but a lady in a coat 20 feet away is pure terror! Lol. I hope she comes back again so we can work on it again.

|Shaking would indicate strong fear. actual posturing & aggression would have a flagged tail, tall head up stance, and gives the very clear indication it is the opposite of fear
Thanks, fear was my first thought too, just might not have recognized because usually it's obvious - he lowers his head and gets very skittish and tries to avoid the situation. Maybe she just didn't get close enough for him to have that response

I'm willing to bet it was definitely fear. Just don't give up doing this>>"I told him to leave it and tried to shift his focus to me, but it was a struggle."
Nothing says he was trying to protect you, everything was fear based. Just keep up the obedience and exposure. He just showed you his nerve threshold at this age and point in time/situation. Now you know.
Whoops, posted too soon!
Anyways, he won't bark or growl unless something startles him.
We were in class and a friend of the trainer came in, wearing a big coat and a hat. He and a few other dogs barked, but even after a few minutes he was still not calming down. She was just walking around a little, and talking calmly to the trainer, but he was barking and growling long after all the other dogs had stopped. He was in a heel and didn't move until I put him in a down, he didn't snarl or lunge, nor pin his ears. He was, however, shaking like a leaf.
So my question is, was he afraid? It didn't look like fear (except the shaking) so was he trying to protect me?
I told him to leave it and tried to shift his focus to me, but it was a struggle. He was fine after we started up the training activities again.

What does this behavior mean?
Hi all - we had an odd incident in group training class yesterday and I was wondering if anyone had insight into how I should interpret this behavior. Warden has come a long way socialization-wise since we first adopted him in October. Usually in training class (and in public for that matter) he's confident and well-mannered. He's curious about other people and dogs in general, and won't bark or growl unless

serrao design | architecture, san francisco
Adding onto an iconic piece of architecture can be intimidating, but the seamless extensions proposed for this 1950 house by Rudolph Schindler earned nothing but praise from the judges. They agreed that "the work added enhances the original." The low-slung house is spread out on a double lot, a little world unto itself with a courtyard and garden, but it's something of an oddball on the street. "The other homes are tall and compact and go right up to the property line," says Jay Serrao, AIA. "Our challenge was to add onto the house in a respectful way, while relating it to its surroundings."
A thin upper-level addition follows the spatial logic of the original house, flipping its L shape to accommodate a master suite and private deck. That move floats the addition's bulk against the property line and helps to mediate the scale difference. Another L form projecting into the lower rear garden will house an office/guest room and provide a roof deck outside the living room above. The additions' louvers reference the opaque operable louvers designed by Schindler, but they're smaller than the originals and made of frosted glass, deftly playing old against new.

I have been interested in Buddhism for a long time (15 years), and a casual attender at my local monastic community http://www.ratanagiri.org.uk(Ajahn Chah's Forest Tradition), though there never seems enough time to go as much as I would like. I am going through some big changes in life, having quit my job, and started a MSc to hopefully allow me to change careers completely. I also want to try and connect with Buddhism more and so I searched around for some online groups I could join up to and liked the look of this one.

Tomorrow There Will Be Apricots by Jessica Soffer
This is a story about accepting the people we love—the people we have to love and the people we choose to love, the families we're given and the families we make. It's the story of two women adrift in New York, a widow and an almost orphan, each searching for someone she's lost. It's the story of how, even in moments of grief and darkness, there are joys waiting nearby.
Lorca spends her life poring over cookbooks, making croissants and chocolat chaud, seeking out rare ingredients, all to earn the love of her distracted chef of a mother, who is now packing her off to boarding school. In one last effort to prove herself indispensable, Lorca resolves to track down the recipe for her mother's ideal meal, an obscure Middle Eastern dish called masgouf.
Victoria, grappling with her husband's death, has been dreaming of the daughter they gave up forty years ago. An Iraqi Jewish immigrant who used to run a restaurant, she starts teaching cooking lessons; Lorca signs up.
Together, they make cardamom pistachio cookies, baklava, kubba with squash. They also begin to suspect they are connected by more than their love of food. Soon, though, they must reckon with the past, the future, and the truth—whatever it might be. Bukra fil mish mish, the Arabic saying goes. Tomorrow, apricots may bloom. Read a sample.

With the coming ISP internet cops more users will be turning to proxies and encryption. It would be nice if we could execute a command to verify the system web proxy is working on the NAS.
Something like
Click button with command "curl http://whatismyip.org; echo"
Display Result = 185.497.258.362
Here is the article about the ISP's cooperating with the RIAA lobby.
"ISPs are ready to begin their efforts to curtail illegal movie, music and software downloads on July 12th"
http://www.bgr.com/2012/03/15/u-s-isps- ... july-12th/
While ssl is fine for the usenet connection, on the web side for the nzb download the hostname is still exposed. Once the connection is made the url and content is encrypted but the hostname will still be visible. So I want to be sure my web proxy is working on the NAS.

so it begins...
I have cut the ends off a 03 sd axle.
I threw one on the vise and started cutting along the weld
After I cut it clean I could see where the tubs seperated from the inner c. It looked kinda like a crack. I'll post a pic when I do the other side.
Anyway, got me a 20 ton press from ol harbor freight and I had alro steel cut me a 1 inch piece of a 3 1/2" bar for a slug.
I ground down the sides and used it to press out the tube.
After a few good pulls... Presto!
and here is the piece and the knuckle
I started on the other one and killed my other angle grinder. I killed the old one when I was cutting the first C and hoped to get through the 2nd, but no luck.
Oh well....
So the tally so far to remove these things....
2 cases of beer for the old housing
$100 for the chop saw to cut the ends off the old axle
$200 for the 20 ton press
$35 x2 for the angle grinders
$10 in cutoff discs
??? in electricity and about 5 hours of my life and assorted beers....
hmmm, I am starting to wonder if I should have just bought new ones, lol
The is really starting to cost me, but hell at least I can keep the press and the chopsaw!

went to wally word last night, and killed 2 new grinders in less than 5 mins!
So to hell with it, I'm gonna go buy a real one. I predict a dewalt in my future.
Anywho... I need some measurements guys. I need the measurement of a 90's dana 60 from the center of the middle C to the the other center.
I want to make sure I don't cut off too much of the tubes of the sterling.

well..... I guess I'm going to make some myself for mock up.
Need to get to a lathe and I'm gonna cut the stock 10.5 shafts and some broken d60 shafts for the yokes, and turn 1 down and bore out the other. After I get the legnth spot on, I'll probably have em made.
I called moser and they will make a set for me for some $

anyone out there have any idea on where I can get a set of custom side gears?
I want to get a set of sterling gears cut for d60 splines.
Mige be cheaper than custom axleshafts, and then again it might not be. Thought I'd at least check it out.

the way I see it, the only benefit of a sterling 10.5 (vs other 1 tons) is the huge wheel bearings, which are only utilized in a rear application.
but on the other hand, big points for creativity

calling auburn on monday. they might have same size internals between the d60 and the sterling. Might be able to get a sterling unit with d60 sides.
Fingers are crossed...

i have done it!
anyway, the weather was nice today, so I began to stip down the sterling axle.
had one hell of a time getting the rusted on parking brake off, but a hammer and a fw gratifying swings of the ol BFH knocked off some of that lovely rusty crap
Finally got off all the brackets and accessories, as well as the axle shafts and the hubs.
Without a torch, things were going slow with the angle grinder, but I did get the leaf spring perches off today.
If I'm not working tommorrow, I am going to take off the ends of the axle tubes and start mocking it up for the inner C's

Well what and educational experience I had today...
My chop saw bit the big one, so I had to drive over to battle creek. They were cool and replaced it no prob and gave me a free 2 yr warranty.
Anyway, I got the caliper bracket off and made some space in the garage and moved everything in out of the cold.
Here is a shot of the spindle. I made my cut right on the shoulder of it to maximize the tube I would have to work with.
1'st mistake
Too much material, took forever to cut through. Not only that I didn't measure properly, so trying to save the tube was pointless. It just isn't long enough. It was about 2 and a half inches too short.
Guess I shoulda set it up to use the 79 legnth axleshafts instead of the 90's series ones.
I did however get the drivers side cut properly. It actually looks rather good, I just wonder if I am going to have enough material to weld the brackets for the coils and arms.
well, I went back to the passenger side and cut off an additional 3 inches, hoping to get into the meat of the tube and out of the spindle.
The weld bead was easy to see on the inside, so I cut back 1" from that. I am going to have to sleeve the tube anyway so who cares about a few more inches right?
I chopped it off and ground the hell out of it for good penetration.
Well, mistake #2 the inside of the tube is only 2 and 13/16 in diameter. The other side is exactly 3" in diameter, so what the hell?
Well I cleaned out the metal shavings and saw it. There is a little bit of a shoulder in there. guess I need to take off an additioinal inch and a half.
I will cut the tube down tommorrow and cut a piece out of the other side and get them both ready to weld.
I'll have to wait till monday to get some 3" .250 wall tube

Well this project has come to a complete standstill.
I would like to the thank the idiots at the sterling axle plant and ford for making a complete piece of junk.
I'm not sure how to sleeve something that is a friggin oval.
it is about 3" at the widest point, and a hair under 2 7/8 at the thinest.
Called alro steel and 2 7/8 .250 wall is gonna cost me around $100.
so I guess I need to find someone with a lathe and make some from the old d60 tube.
maybe I can make a 3" slug, wrap it in sandpaper and attach it to a drill and go to town!
if you can help, please let me know!

well, I would love to cut the welds and press in new tube, but I have 2 problems.
#1 no cutting torch, and no one around me seems to have one.
#2 even if I rented one or bought one, how in the hell would I press out the tube? I seriously doubt that my 20 ton press could do it.
If anyone out there can help me with this, please let me know, as this is the preferred methood.
called advantage drive line, and they told me it's a no go.
found me something cool as hell last night though.
Shur-Brite star discs. I contacted them and they are sending me a few samples, and I called production tool supply and also have some ordered. they are designed to grind or polish the inside of a tube.
Not too sure about it, But I'll give it a try.
Also got me a 6ft legnth of 2-7/8 tube yesterday as well, so things are looking up, assuming I can make it fit, and fit snugly.
I need to find out if the super duty inner seals will work for this axle. If not, I'm sure I can come up with something.
still need access to a lathe....
Well I am posting this out of state, at work. I should be home tommorrow night, so hopefully I will be back at it on thursday!

cut off most of the tube, figure out method of removing plug welds, cut a slit in the tube to remove the pressure and hammer out the piece of tube. heat center and give it a go with your press to install the new tube.
