Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sylvia, Jul 24, 2013.
Part 1 is up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D39dmCQ2ciY
Can't wait to watch it!
Part one is up.
It's a great interview. She loves being in front of the camera and comes off as smart, funny, spontaneous, and self-aware. Also very aware of what others say about her. I had not realized that she intended to quit skating if she hadn't won Nats in 2012. I always love female athletes who say they want to win and second place is not good enough. I wish we could see this Ashley on the ice but these days she is so packaged it's almost boring. But I like her better after seeing this.
I guess they will get to the tough questions in Part 2, like why she broke up with Philip Mills and how she assesses her Olympic chances. Oh yes, and what it is like to skate with Yu Na.
ETA: She has a wicked phrase for skating board posters: cat ladies who sit back in ther armchairs and post that her legs look big today. Ding! (Although I don't think I have commented on her anatomy.)
Entertaining interview for sure. Can't wait for part 2 which I hope will come out sooner rather than later.
Anyone knows when part 2 will be uploaded? By the way, thanks for the interview! I enjoyed it!
Actually it's CRAZY cat lady. And my mind immediately went to the crazy lady who threw cats at people on the Simpsons.
I'm sure most (if not all) skaters at that level are aware of what others say about them...regardless of whether they WANT to be aware or not.
But few (if any) choose to address them directly...
Part 2 is up:
i really enjoyed how open she was about her highs and lows. i dont think TSL really pushes people but she was very open. i was never really a fan of her skating but i like her if that makes sense. i cant believe people tweeted her to tell her how bad they thought she was at nats last yr.
I have a feeling she is purposely more open than she is comfortable with just to show Dave and Jenny. I had expected her to say she was upset with what Philip Mills said but not that she was disappointed and felt that he was unprofessional. She is probably right and is entitled to feel that way of course, I just didn't expect her to say this out loud.
Actually I am most bummed that she seems to be committed to keeping the 2axel3toe instead of taking Dave's suggestion of repeating the 3flip3toe in both programs. As Jenny would say, her 2axel is scary.
If Wagner was being politically correct with her remarks toward Mills, she did not sound scripted or robotic. In Part 1, she enthusiastically gives him full credit where it is due for her "Black Swan" program, and even in Part 2 when she discussed the split, she goes out of her way to give him credit for training her, even saying that Nicks gets some of the publicity and credit that was due Mills. She has a sophisticated and mature point of view, looking at Nicks' and Mills' decisions from their point of view, even when they affected her deeply.
I just wonder if Nicks had made his decision about not traveling any longer before she decided to work with other choreographers whether she would have chosen to stay with Mills as both half-coach and choreographer, to maintain some stability. As it turned out, it sounds like Arutunian is a great half-coach for her, and if they do move rinks to where she has more direct competition, as she said herself, it might be a good incentive for her.
I think Raphael is much more than a half-coach. She certainly spends more time with him than Nicks.
I love Ashley's honest and unfiltered personality. I also like that she embraces her inner goofball and adorkable awkwardness. That quality makes a person more charming I believe. She's a beautiful young woman and I wish her well in this Olympic season. Her LP sounds like it could be intriguing; I can't wait to see it!
Love the interviews! Thanks!
Hubby went by the computer, looked at the screen and said: "Is that Ashley's mother?"
I enjoyed Ashley, but I really hate Jenny's habit of asking her main question and five follow-up questions all in one shot. Fortunately, I can mute her entirely because Ashley's replies are smart, articulate, and good-humored.
I have new-found love for Ashley!
I had no idea she was so funny and lively. Her responses were flat-out hilarious at times but even during serious moments you knew she was keeping things real. I look forward to her programs this season and hope she gets that triple-triple squared away. She is going to have a great season. I know it.
Ashley is so real and so fun! And so realistic too. Best of luck and may your Olympic dream come true!
Wait, did Gracie Gold really want to name the tano lutz a Gold lutz???
That was a fun interview. I didn't know about Ashley snubbing Caroline on the podium at junior worlds. Why bring it up though but not even ask her to comment on it? Regardless, I really enjoyed this interview. Great job everyone.
So I've been thinking that the Prokofiev R&J is a great choice for Ashley. The Montagues and Capulets theme has such dark undertones--which would suit Ashley and I am guessing what she meant by "the bedroom Juliet."
Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LSxpxjMQ9c
Incidentally, it's the one Prokofiev piece I love and am really looking forward to the program. As to her SP--definitely thinking outside the warhorse box here, for the Oly year, no less. When is the season going to start already????!!!
She comes off as pretty dismissive/disrespectful towards Shirley Hughes. I didn't like that.
She does, and she doesn't: at one point she credits both Hughes and Hill for bringing her skating to the next level.
I think they were trying to get her to explain it but they brought up both the 2009 Jr Worlds ceremony incident and the 2010 Nationals K&C incident in the same question and of course she jumped to explain the latter right away and forgot to address the former (even though she jokingly said she loved them for bringing it up), which was a waste.
I do agree with her that sometimes there are simply explanations for things but people are always inclined to believe or are more interested in the juicier stories. Perhaps she already hugged her backstage and didn't want to engage in formalities? Perhaps she simply forgot?
I wish they would ask her whom she would pick as the most likely winner of the 3rd spot and whether she currently plans to skate beyond this coming season...
I loved it!
Did Shirley Hughes fire Ashley?
I think Ashley has made the perfect progression from Shirley Hughes to Priscilla Hill with Irina Romanova to Mr. Nicks with Philip Mills and now to Rafael Arutunian with Shae Lynne Bourne and David Wilson. Sometimes the first coach one has had turns out, in the end, to be the best one one ever had, and sometimes the last coach is the best, and we will never know until Ashley's career is over if she has feelings one way or the other except that she has already mentioned good things about all. In fact so far, she has been nothing but gracious and ladylike in talking about all of the coaches and choreographers she has had. This whole interview was fabulous and representative of the fine sportsman Ashley is. I think her let me go get it and not bear a grudge attitude has helped her elevate her skating levels and grace. I wish her nothing but the best for the remainder of her career. Loved the piece here, which was actually just Ashley being Ashley.
There can be a best coach for a skater at each point in his or her development.
OK - 2 questions:
Rafael is leaving Lake Arrowhead and they will follow him to the Toyota Center where Evan trains (I assume this is FC's rink, then) ?
She mentions 'Kira'. Is that Kiira Korpi?
1. The only thing she knows for certain is that he'll be leaving Lake Arrowhead, but the rumor, told to David Lease by a skating mom, is that he'll move to Toyota, and she talked about what it might be like for her to train there with Lysacek and Nagasu.
I don't know anything about California driving patterns, except that they suck, and miles can be deceiving. Even in the Seattle area, Bellevue and Redmond (the East Side) are about 8-10 miles away from Seattle, but that could mean 1.5 hours of driving 3-8pm. Is the commute from Laguna Beach to Toyota Center feasible, or would she need to continue the two-apartment deal or move somewhere in between?
2. Yes.

Arsène Wenger believes the standard of football in the Championship has improved over the last two seasons.
Wenger takes his Arsenal side to newly-promoted Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday - a team that currently sit ninth after 11 matches.
With Swansea City and Queen's Park Rangers occupying the next two berths in the Premier League table, Wenger says the quality emerging from the second tier of English football has never been better.
"There is always a Premier League surprise package every year, and this season we have three instead of one," he said.
"QPR, Norwich and Swansea are doing extremely well and it just shows you that the style of play has changed in the Championship.
"You see from the teams that have come up that the level has gone up in the lower divisions. I could feel that even in the FA Cup games against League One teams last season, which were very difficult games."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Pretty nice setup.
I recently decided to build my AMD-65 sidefolder via the screw method. As I was drilling out one of the old rivets in the rear trunion, it occured to me that the rivets pass all the way through. I simply soaked the trunion in oil and using an old drill shank, a bmf hammer and a "nut support" (ala barrel removal method) I knocked them both out.
I imagine that if I had a vise or a press, I could have done the same thing.

Hello everyone!
I finally went to the town that makes customized shoes and had mine ordered. Armed with printed pics that I got from Rex, I showed them the Fett shoe from every angle & they said they could do it.
There's a choice of doing it in leather, Nubuck or canvas...I had mine made in genuine leather, unless ofcouse if Nubuck or canvas is more preffered.
They are unsure however if they have the grey garter on the side....they do have white or black. Is it possible to dye the garter grey if I elect having white? Or would black garter be better to match the stripes?
It'll take 2 weeks for 'em to make it so I guess I'll show you pics of it by then.
However, if you think Nubuck or canvass is more preffered, please tell me asap as I only have 2 days from now to tell them before they cut up the material.

Brilliant!! She immediately made me feel at ease. Down to earth, she's a sitter i would absolutely book again without a shadow of a doubt.
I was so nervous about leaving my daughter with someone she didn't know but Jen was absolutely brilliant. She put us all at ease from the moment she walked in. She was so friendly. She arrived in good time. My little girl took to her so well and they had a great time together. I was most nervous about Jen having to put my daughter to bed, as she's not always the easiest to put down, but all went swimmingly and we can back to find my daughter tucked up in bed fast asleep. I can't express how easy Jen made the whole process. I would definitely recommend her and more importantly I will definitely be using her again.
Jayne came over and she was AMAZING and lovely.

Daniel Johnson and Katherine Curren, two Teach for America students at University of St. Thomas, each received a $2,500 scholarship from the School of Education for their academic excellence.
The School of Education cooperates with the Teach for America program to offer a tailored Masters of Education program for 24 current TFA corps members. The program is a combination of online and in-person classes. It also allows the graduate students to receive some course credit for classes they took as a part of their TFA training.
Daniel Johnson
Johnson said that the School of Education provides an affordable hybrid Master of Education degree opportunity for TFA corps members who wish to pursue leadership opportunities in education.
Johnson is a current corps member at TFA. He spent six weeks of training at Teach for America institute in summer 2012, and then he began his career as a teacher in KIPP Houston public schools. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, he has been leading a team of four teachers in curriculum, planning, coaching and operations.
"The degree that I am pursuing at UST has greatly increased my theoretical and pedagogical knowledge of education," Johnson said. "Therefore, as I have transitioned into a leadership role on my campus, I have been able to constantly draw on my studies when making leadership decisions."
Katherine Curren
Curren is a high school chemistry teacher and a current corps member at TFA. She said her students are bright and hardworking. Her class is abstract calculations and concepts; Curren continuously works to pave the road for them to be successful in college.
"My master's program at UST helps me learn about the way effective curriculum is developed and the role of the administrator on campus," Curren said.
The Teach for America program aims to leverage the education level in the low-income communities across the country. It recruits a variety of professional leaders who work tirelessly as teachers to eliminate educational inequity and achieve an excellent education.
"TFA is a non-profit program that recruits high achieving college graduates and professionals to commit to two years of teaching in traditionally underserved urban and rural schools across the United States," Johnson said.

Enjoy huge savings when you book your Munich flight + car hire together.
Book your car hire with British Airways - in partnership with Avis - and enjoy these great benefits:
British Airways car hire, in partnership with Avis, includes all of the mandatory charges that you'll need to drive away your car in Munich.
See the sights of the beautiful surrounding areas with car hire in Munich. It ranges from the tranquillity of Salzburg to the beautiful castles and stunning scenery of the 'romantic road', an iconic driving route.
Our car hire, in partnership with Avis, makes exploring easy. See the sights at your own pace and choose a vehicle type that suits your individual requirements. Leave the cityscape of Munich behind and take in the breathtaking landscape of Bavaria as you drive to Lake Starnberg. Its magnificent mountains and acres of parkland and lakes make a spectacular sight. Or admire the outstanding Alpine scenery on a daytrip to Garmish.
The breath-taking landscape of Bavaria, with its magnificent mountains, acres of parkland and lakes is just a half hour drive from Munich. It makes an easy daytrip and is a fantastic place where you can swim, hike, cycle or simply enjoy a drink in a Bavarian beer garden. The area around Lake Starnberg is the wealthiest community around Munich and one of the richest in Germany, with a rich history of nobility around the Lake.
Outstanding Alpine scenery via Oberammergau, world famous for its Passion Play. Garmish-Patenkirchen is a famous alpine sports destination, both for winter and summer. Located at the foot of Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze. The rack railway train to the top of the Zugspitze leaves regularly from the Garmisch-Partenkirchen railway station. The two areas was merged in order to host the 1936 Olympic Games in Germany, and it is still popular for sports, including some of Germany's best skiing.
Enjoy the mountain scenery via Chiemsee Bavaria, a large Lake with a castle on an island. Or go via Bad Reichenhall, a lovely Spa town. Salzburg is home to 'The Sound of Music' and also the home of Mozart. A good tip is to fill up with petrol in Austria where it is 20% cheaper. Don't forget to buy a Vingette (tax) sticker when entering Austria. This picturesque city is home to Schloss Hellbrunn, with its pretty fountains and gardens.
From Augsburg you can pick up the iconic driving route lined with beautiful castles and stunning scenery, including the three medieval walled towns of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Dinkelsbühl and Nördlingen, which is set in a meteorite crater surrounded by a 14th century wall. Finish in the historic city of Würzburg, home to Würzburg Residence, one of the finest palaces in Europe and a member of the UNESCO World Heritage list. There are also various old and beautiful churches.
Drive your Avis car through stunning southern Bavaria, past lakes and mountain streams to Fussen and beyond to Neuschwanstein, the most famous German castle Fussen is nestled in the Alps of southern Bavaria, it houses the castle where Ludwig II grew up. Hohenschwangau is historically more interesting but the other castle; Schloss Neuschwanstein is one of the world's most beautiful castles and looks like something out of a Disney film. You can buy a ticket to explore both and save on your fly-drive holiday.

Mikel Arteta stopped to speak exclusively to Arsenal Player as he left Stade Velodrome following our 1-0 win over Marseille.
Click on the link to the right to watch the video clip or read the full transcript below.
Mikel, how big a win was that?
It is a massive win for us. When you win away from home in the Champions League it makes a big difference. The group is really tight at the moment so this is a massive victory because it puts us in the lead. Now we have the next two games at home so hopefully we can do the job right.
How has the team improved?
We are happier because we are playing much more as a team. Defensively we have improved so much and in the second half they hardly created anything. We were much more compact and that comes from the work we've been doing in training. Hopefully we can build on that because know we've got the talent and with this togetherness around the team we're going to get good results.
You seemed to have a strong foundation against Marseille.
We know we are capable of creating chances and now we are doing the basics right. Everybody is working hard, we are getting the ball back quickly and when that happens it is difficult to beat us.
It's Stoke on Sunday. What are your early thoughts on that game?
It is a really tough game coming up. We know how strong physically Stoke are, they always put you in trouble and it is going to be tough. We have to make sure we recover well for Sunday because we know we need to win every game.


text: Well Bob that was a interesting project, and a good read. I just can bring myself to do anything like that. I have striped cars and motors down to the last bolt and nut. Put them back together and they run like a clock. Guns to me has always been a magic art. Some got it and some don't. Sure wish I had it. Good luck with them guns Bob.

By Giuseppe Muro
Martin Angha is one of the most recent players to sign professional terms with Arsenal and the young defender admits it feels great to know he has a future at the Club.
Since joining the Gunners as a scholar last summer, the 17-year-old Switzerland youth international has impressed for Steve Bould's Academy side and put pen to paper in January.
"I'm very happy and I'm very pleased because it gives me confidence and belief that the Club trusts me and wants to keep working with me," Angha told Arsenal.com.
"Liam Brady came up to me and, of course, I said yes straight away. I was very happy."
So for Arsenal fans who may not know too much about him, what can they expect from the versatile defender who has captained his country at Under-16 level?
"I try to give everything, do my job properly and focus on the defensive work first," he said. "Most of the time, I play at centre back for the Under-18s but sometimes I play at full back.
"I like to get forward when I am on the wings, get crosses into the box and get one-on-ones. That's why I like to play as a full back."
Angha made his full debut for Neil Banfield's Reserves against Liverpool last Thursday and caught the eye with an assured display at left back as the second string ran out 2-1 winners.
"To make my first start was very good, I was very happy because I've waited a long time for it," he reflected.
"It was even better that we won after not winning for five or six games. Liverpool are a strong side and we played well, created chances and I'm happy with my performance. I think I did well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

What is the overall consensus on painting the helmet? Is layering thes best way to go? I saw the one that steve the swede did without layering and that is absolutely incredible? I am debating right now how I should do it.
Rogue Studios suggested the original was done by painting the silver first,then all the base colours, then the silver was revealed by scratching with a toothpick. The grey and maroon etc weathering around the silver was painted on top. Spidey demonstrates a similar technique, using masking latex rather than a toothpick, which ends up with essentially the same look.
I just paint on my scratches with aluminium like silver paint, does the trick for me... kind of annoying though to duplicate all the scratches an dots with a brush, but I think U'll be stick with that problem any way you go...
I've actually been wondering the same thing since I've been having a hell of a time with the Testors Chrome spray.. I keep putting it on and taking it back off because I'm never happy with it.. no matter how far back I hold the can and quick and light I try to be, it still ends up being kinda gloopy (is that a word?) Especially on the brow area.. or the 2nd coat ends up looking scaly..
So I've been looking Steve the Swede's over again seeing how nice his came out and deciding on if that would be easier for me.. unless I can find a silver/chrome that's easier to work with or can be airbrushed on..
If you do have little to no painting skills though, I'd say be very very careful with the chrome enamel spray if you go that route..
wow... I was gonna use the testors chrome also. Maybe I will just use the rustoleum metalic for the base coat. anyone else have problems with testors chrome?
Rsutoleum chrome works great. Then if you put a coat of the metallic silver/grey over that, it looks very good too.
I have gone both routes with three different helmets and here's my two cents.
The layered look is phenominal, IF you can do it correctly. Right now, my DP 96, which is beat to crap is layered. It's nice because if you can chip the paint away just right, you can see the "depth" of the layering. However, if done poorly (like my Dp 96) it just looks like a piece of crap.
As far as the silver spray paint goes, I have not had any problems with the Krylon Original Chrome (#1810) as long as you have primed the area first.
Now, for the DP 95 I have, I decided to paint the silver on with a Testors Silver Paint Pen. As long as you "dab" your areas in (as oppossed to smearing it), it turns out pretty good.
I am basing my paint loosely on the DP Deluxe and my apologies, again, for the pics. Stupid broken digital camera.
Thought I'd go ahead and throw in my two cents. Personally, what gives Star Wars such a unique look in the OT is the fact that everything has a weathered and old look to it. As a painter myself, there are a lot of techniques you can do to get that paint flaking look but in the whole scheme of things you want that weathered look to appear as authentic as possible. I think the best way to achieve this is by weathering it yourself through good old fashion layering and scratching. People have asked me in the past how you can get weathered effects when painting models, pottery, etc... and I usually tell them to find the simplest answer. In this case, if you want something to look scratched so that you can see a surface below it then why attempt to paint it when you can simulate the look yourself. Can't fake the real thing. Hope this helps.
Well, for me anyway, I dont want to do too much real damage, especially after looking at my other buckets and hating them. I am going to do the DP95 the easy way, lol, and if I do not like what I see, I will send it to someone to paint.Quote:

I think I'll continue to try for the layered paint job..
any other suggestions of chrome/silver that's worked well for them ? Is it better to stick with paint from a can for the base color? as opposed to airbrushing it on ?
I just know if I put that Testors spray on it again, I'll be sanding it off for the 4th time.. seemed to work well for Spidey, but I just can't get it the way I'd like..
I just use good old plain Testors 1246 Metallic Silver spray enamel over a good coat of gray primer. I've tried the different chrome spray paints and I wasn't happy with the finish on any of them. They always have that "orange peel" texture no matter what I do. Also the time it takes for chrome paints to cure is usually a lot longer than for regular silver. One thing that I don't like about regular silver spray is that it can dull a bit so I just touch up the scratches using a bottle of Testors silver and a small soft brush. A silver enamel paint pen should also work well. I have noticed, while in the army, that on military vehicles when the paint gets scratched or chipped off the metal usually looks rather dull at first.
So if you use the enamel chrome or silver spraypaint as your base coat, can you airbrush on top of it with acrylic? I'm going with Rogue Studios paint scheme, and all those paints are acrylic (or at least most of them).

Following the Food Network's announcement on Friday that they have chosen not to renew Paula Deen's contract in the wake of her racial slur revelation, the chef issued a statement thanking the network for 11 "great years."
"I have had the pleasure of being allowed into so many homes across the country and meeting people who have shared with me the most touching and personal stories," Paula said in a statement to CNN Friday evening. "This would not have been possible without the Food Network."
Adding, "Thank you again. Love and best dishes to all of y'all."
On Friday afternoon, following a dizzying day for Deen - which included skipping out on a scheduled interview with Matt Lauer on the "Today" show and the release of two apology videos - the Food Network issued a statement stating they had chosen not to renew Deen's contract, which is set to expire at the end of June.
The Southern chef is currently featured on three shows on the network.

text: Interview with Valentin Piseev: "Success depends not on presentation, but on skating and consistency" http://www.kommersant.ru/doc/2047878 Valeria Mironova (VM): How do you explain the unprecedented interest to figure skating during this off-season? Valentin Piseev (VP): By the increased importance for skaters of all the upcoming competitions, including the Grand Prix series, that will immediately show who is who. But the the most important will be the World Championships, where the Olympic quota will be determined. The Worlds will be in Canada, and skating there is not very easy to us due to the time difference and the fact that we are not very welcome there. Ideally we want to get three spots in pairs, ice dance, ladies singles, and two in men's singles. Let me remind you that due to the lack of success of our athletes in men's singles at the World Championships in Nice, we have just one spot in London, Canada. But if Evgeni Plushenko is the only one in Sochi, it will be difficult for him to fight for top placement in both events individual and team. VM: The competitions this autumn have shown that our pairs are doing well, except for Yuri Larionov and Vera Bazarova, who got a hip injury. Is that so? VP: In any case, programs of our leaders - silver World medalists Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov and former European champions Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov, who won their respective events in Oberstdorf and in Sochi, are very interesting. For example, Volosozhar and Trankov, knowing that elements in the second half of program bring bonuses, moved the most complex elements to the end of the program. Their main rivals World champions from Germany Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy do not show anything extraordinary, at least for now. Pairs skating is our signature discipline, and Russian teams must compete for medals. It is a pity that we have lost one medal in Nice because of stupidest mistakes. China's Pang Qing and Tong Jian and World bronze medalist from Japan Narumi Takahashi and Mervin Tran are very strong. I don't think Canadians and Americans are being lazy, either. If Canada's Megan Duhamel and Eric Radford have a decent skate at the World Championships in London, they will have a shot for podium. I hope to see Vera Bazarova and Yuri Larionov in December at Russian National Championships in Sochi. It is possible we will see them earlier at the Grand Prix events in Moscow and Tokyo. Placements in all four disciplines will depend not so much on the presentation but on consistency in performing the elements. I remember how the great Stanislav Zhuk yelled at Marina Pestova who underrotated a jump in her gypsy routine: "When you portray a characater, don't forget the elements." VM: How is the 2011 Worlds bronze medalist and 2012 European silver medalist Arthur Gachinski, who didn't perform well at Worlds last year? VP: It would be nice if Arthur was more consistent right now. His coach Alexei Mishin says he will be in shape for the main events. Meanwhile, in the men's singles skating there are more than ten skaters ready to fight for medals, and you can't surprise anyone doing just one quad. Look at 17 years old Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan! And Michal Brezina from Czech, Canadian Patrick Chan... VM: But at the recent competition in Japan, the two-time World champion Patrick Chan finished only in sixth place. How did that happen? VP: Due to the fact that he terminated the cooperation with his former coach Christy Krall. He could not cope with her strictness and her demands. But if in the past judges had forgiven him even the falls for his great basic skating, in Japan, it seems, he did not perform quite to his level. Chan's phenomenon, it's his stroking and the ability to do the jumps without long entries. He is compared to the famous ice dancers Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean for his talent to intricate elements and steps, and I think skating at home he has a good chance to become a champion once again. VM: Don't our coaches possess such methods? VP: Figure skating requires primarily skating skills that should be taught from childhood. And our coaches sometimes dress it up for parents with jumps and spins. Skating becomes secondary. That is why we have introduced into the classification program stroking tests system developed by the famous coach Victor Kudryavtsev. Now athletes are not allowed to skate in competitions without passing these tests. VM: So, it seems that senior skaters who were not taught the right way are the lost generation? VP: If you didn't learn it in childhood, try harder now. Plushenko, for example, has better skating skills, others worse. Presentation is one thing, but judges are looking for something else. Look at Hanyu's skating - superb! Now we have seminars for coaches after each stage of the Russian Cup. If colleagues attended Nikolai Morozov's practices (the coach of ice dancers Elena Ilinykh and Nikita Katsalapov and World silver medalist Alena Leonova. - "Ъ") more often, they would benefit a great deal. But there aren't many people who want to learn Everyone feels great in his little corner. And for coaches like Stanislav Zhuk, Igor Moskvin, or Edward Pliner to appear, it takes time. But now there are innovators among young coaches. For example, Eteri Tutberidze and Inna Goncharenko. VM: Evgeni Plushenko, like Patrick Chan, had an unsuccessful outing in Japan. Fourth place, is it his level? VP: One competition does not mean anything. I am sure he will look different at Russian Nationals and especially at European Championship, Zhenya again will skate only at these two events. The most important thing that he is not in pain and has serious attitude. He had lost weight and works very hard. And it's despite the fact that Plushenko turns 30 on November 3. VM: Has anyone already seen the Olympic champion Evan Lysacek who returned to competitions after a two-year break? VP: Ari Zakarian (Plushenko's agent. - "Ъ") says that the American is in good shape and does quad jumps and combos in practices. However, he has withdrawn from the Grand Prix in the U.S. the only Grand Prix event Lysacek was scheduled to skate at. Perhaps he didn't come to an agreement with organizers. I think he will skate at the Four Continents Championships and the National Championships, win that, and go to Canada. VM: Won't it make Plushenko uncertain about Sochi? VP: Remember how all his praised competitors were literally blown away when Plushenko appeared at the European Championships in Sheffield. His credibility is so high that such a reaction is probable in Sochi. And tremendous support from audience is guaranteed. The main thing for him is to stay healthy. Any medal at the Olympics will be an outstanding result for Zhenya. As for him skipping the Grand Prix, in particular here, in Moscow, Patrick Chan will perform here. I understand Plushenko: he wants to see how others do, and then make a strike himself. VM: Previously, Evgeny Plushenko was doing quad toe loop only, now he's learned quad Salchow, and his agent has mentioned that he's trying also quad Lutz. Does it mean we will see three different quadruple jumps in Sochi ? VP: No. Learning more complex jump, in this case, Salchow, makes toe loop easier for the skater, and learning Lutz makes Salchow easier. Plushenko is right: Lutz is the most complex of quad jumps, and trying to do it makes Salchow easier psychologically. Two quads toe loop and Salchow will be enough for him at the Olympics. VM: What is the situation in ladies? VP: There is no apparent leader. The reigning World champion, Carolina Kostner of Italy, had withdrawn from the Grand Prix series. I think she realizes that she does not deserve gold, and I do not rule out the possibility that she is considering ending her career. But Olympic champion Kim Yuna from South Korea is back. She is going to skip Grand Prix, but we will probably see her at the World Championships. Ex-world champion Miki Ando from Japan is also back and will compete at the Grand Prix, but is unlikely to show something remarkable. In my opinion, the most promising ones are 18-year-old Kanako Murakami from Japan and Gracie Gold from the U.S. However, women are unpredictable: good skate and bad skate are equally possible. So the door is open to all, including the Russians. VM: The more so given that Adelina Sotnikova and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva can now participate in European and World championships. VP: Sotnikova has almost overcome her growth spurt and prepared very interesting programs. She has everything - speed, steps, spins, flexibility, jumps, so if she skates well she is guaranteed high scores. Tuktamysheva has grown a little over spring and summer, and she is gradually returning back to shape. Liza will skate at the second Grand Prix. World junior champion and Junior Grand Prix Final winner Julia Lipnitskaya is recovering after an injury that set her back in training for a while. Nevertheless, she just has brilliantly won Finlandia Trophy. Lipnitskaya is a workaholic, she needs to be stopped so that she doesn't overwork herself. Alena Leonova looks as good as she did last season. She can get herself together, and in comparison with our other girls, is the most consistent. VM: Did coaching change help Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitri Soloviev, who had switched to Alexander Zhulin, and Ekaterina Ryazanova and Ilya Tkachenko, who now train with Igor Shpilband in the U.S.? VP: The fact that Bobrova and Soloviev's scores in Finland were mostly in nines says a lot. It was rare for them before. But the partner still struggles with twizzles. The Americans do them at breakneck speed. Well, first you skate consistently, then there is something to talk about. Yet once again they are busy portraying the characters and cannot get their feet on the ice. And guys, please read the rules. Ryazanova and Tkachenko trained in the off-season in the U.S. with Igor Shpilband. His collaboration with Marina Zueva, together with whom they prepared the Olympic champions, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir from Canada, and Vancouver silver medalist the Americans Meryl Davis and Charlie White, had recently ended, and the two top teams stayed with Marina. So Ilya, returning from the U.S., in contrast to the other ice dancers, had no problems answering all questions about the rules. Athletes must clearly know where they lose points. And they need to train more. At Shpilband's practices it's impossible that a team does not do a full program run-through once or twice. We do not work like that. With Shpilband, people train for ten hours. We work much less. We tell them, go to Irina Viner's practices and watch how rhythmic gymnasts work. Or syncronized swimmers... As for our leaders Elena Ilinykh and Nikita Katsalapov, their preparation has slowed down a bit due to Elena's shoulder injury. But when skated in pieces, their programs look great. We hope they will be in good shape for their Grand Prix events. So far, it will be difficult for our ice dancers to fight for medals at the World championships. But they must be able to do it at the Olympics.

Well, last night I carefully cut out the remainder of my visor. I cleaned all edges up, filed them to a perfect straight edge. I then took some 320# and sanded the entire exterior as there were several botched areas, paint build-up, drips, etc. The entire thing was beautiful.
As I flipped the helmet over in my hands to give it the final
once-over I lost my grip and it fell from my hands. For some odd reason I didn't dive for it (I think it was because I was thinking about how soft the vinyl is...it'll be ok.). It hit my hardwood floor and I immediately heard what I was afraid of.
It cracked and split...its major. It goes from the right side, back edge of the visor across to the right earpiece, then over the eapiece and straight up towards the top of the dome. From what I have read I am lucky. It's a clean break and can be closed perfectlly. Just a matter of getting some superglue and bondo, which I needed anyways.
Just a minor set-back that I had to share...


text: Yes, I am a newbie, I have found soooo many great suggestions and ideas as well as Alan's templates, which are an awesome tool, but I need to go to my next steps. I have contacted some hobby stores looking for large sheets of Styrene and have found some. However, I am not sure about specifics on what to do with it when I get it. I know I can take the easy way out and buy someone else's pre-molded etc., but where is the fun in that? So, I plan to take all of Alan's templates and cut out pieces of foam board so I have large, solid templates. But, I have no idea where to go from there. I have general ideas, but I need some solid footing. I would ove to get going and take pics for all to see, etc. SO, if someone has a path they can point me to that would be great. Again, I know there is a lot of great info on this site and I think it is great, but maybe I have just been looking in the wrong places? Thanks in advance for the help.

Beachgoers shrug off shark report to enjoy one more splash of summer
By Jason Schreiber
Union Leader Correspondent | August 21. 2013 10:56PM
Kara Colarusso, a lifeguard at Wallis Sands State Beach in Rye, keeps an eye on swimmers Wednesday afternoon. (JASON SCHREIBER/Union Leader)
With sunny skies and temperatures near 90 degrees, sunbathers weren't deterred by Tuesday's report of a possible shark lurking just off the beach.
A possible shark sighting at Wallis Sands State Beach in Rye Tuesday didn't seem to faze many beach-goers who took advantage of Wednesday's warm temperatures to squeeze in another beach day before the summer season winds down. (JASON SCHREIBER)
Swimming was restricted for a time on Tuesday, but the restrictions were lifted Wednesday.
Knight and his buddy, Mark Schultz of Exeter, were fishing within two miles of Hampton Beach a few weeks ago in their boat, the Nina May, when they caught a large porbeagle shark. Knight said the shark was about 8 feet long and likely weighed between 700 and 800 pounds.
Before catching that shark and later releasing it, the pair hooked two other sharks but they broke free, Knight said.
"It seemed as if every place we went we landed on top of them," Knight said.
"There's certainly a lot of them out there," he said.
It's not known whether the shark Knight and Schultz caught is the same one or similar to the one possibly seen in Rye, but, Knight said, "it's certainly capable of being closer to the shore."
"I'm not worried about it," said Heather Scholl, who spent the day at Wallis Sands with her two children, ages 8 and 10.
"There's more of a risk driving here," the Portsmouth man said.
Clark Stuart of Durham said he wasn't aware of this week's reported sighting, but he wasn't too concerned because his children, ages 3 and 7, stay close to the shore.
New Hampshire's beaches are expected to be busy once again with more heat and humidity on tap for Thursday.
Temperatures are expected to reach the upper 80s before a frontal boundary swings through overnight with a chance of some rain in the mountains and along the coastal plain, according to Andy Pohl, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
"It's going to be a wonderful weekend. It'll be a nice prelude to fall," Pohl said.

Lukasz Fabianski will be in goal for Arsenal at Partizan Belgrade on Tuesday night.
The Polish keeper is taking the gloves because Manuel Almunia picked up an elbow injury during the penalty incident against West Brom on Saturday.
Arsène Wenger relayed the news before training on Monday morning. During that session he will decide if Kieran Gibbs can board the plane for Serbia. The left back is still recovering from the badly bruised foot he suffered at Tottenham last Tuesday.
"We have Manual Almunia out," said the manager. "He has a problem with his elbow. He caught it when he made the penalty on Saturday.
"Also Kieran Gibbs has a test in training today."
Almunia came under scrutiny after the 3-2 defeat at Emirates Stadium over the weekend but Wenger made it clear that, but for this injury, he was not going to leave out his No 1.
"No," the Frenchman responded. "[The keeper] is always the easy target, the easy scapegoat. But we win together and we lose together even if people think he made a mistake on the second goal."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Discussion in 'TV ALERTS' started by Sylvia, Feb 4, 2012.
I forgot and just turned on NBC and saw Agnes Zawadzki bowing. Was she the first skater shown?
Yes, she was.
Scott, once again your jinx follows you. Can't you just zip it?
Skaters shown so far:
Agnes Zawadski
Nathan Chen
Gracie Gold
Plus Andrea Joyce interviewing Gracie (who juggled apples ) and Jeremy Abbott so far
My screen is half full of the earth shattering news that it is snowing outside--because you wouldn't possibly notice it otherwise. And I forgot this was on until right now.
ETA: Seriously, Ashley's free skate again, NBC???? Really?? Because you showed it live, and you showed it during the mens/pairs broadcast. Why do we need to see it again?
And now for yet another reshowing of Ashley Wagner's free skate.
at showing #3 of Ashley's freeskate... I suppose they'll show all 4 winning freeskates.
At least they showed Nathan Chen!
Nah...they'll probably just show Ashley's three more times.
Wish I got NBC... does icenetwork ever show exhibitions?
Wonder if they will show Karen Chen.
They're sharing the replay love by showing D/W's FD again.
I remember the days when D/W would be chacked from the broadcast. Now they're the ones who are being replayed!
Just showed a commercial for NBC airing, what I assume will be a recap of Worlds, on April 8.
At least they are airing something for those of us who don't get Universal and can't afford an online subscription anywhere. (No subbing in January is going to make food a challenge, never mind paying to watch skating).
Back to the exhibition, overall, I like Ashley. This program, not so much.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't get Universal either, so I'll be glad to be able to watch at least a little on TV. Hope you get to sub this month!
I hate the South!!! Sat down to watch the exhibition.....and there is a friggin college basketball game on.
IN usually posts the exhibitions soon after the telecast. I'm to see the chacked skaters, particularly Donlan/Speroff and Karen Chen!
According to IceNetwork the NBC Telecast will be aired on Apr. 8 from 3 to 6 pm ET.
Highlights were Nathan Chen kickass and Ashley Wagner's arms during the layback. Can't believe they didn't show Karen Chen and Vincent Zhou. These are novices worthy of airtime.
Gracie Gold bored me.
Also, super cute fluff pieces with Adam and Alissa talking about Adam living with Alissa while he trained in Detroit and how she has nothing in her fridge and how she is the perfect athlete (neat, goes to bed on time, etc.)
Also, what were they all doing with Nathan Chen? Launching him?
I wish NBC had shown Gracie Gold's winning Junior FS instead of her exhibition number.
I second that. Unfortunately, when I was watching it in San Jose, she looked somewhat uncomfortable skating it as opposed to competing. I think the latter is more of her preferred skating mode and it will take her awhile to get comfortable expressing herself in exhibition.
Practicing for the slingshotting that occurs at the end of the finale at Nats and SA (and I guess any USFSA-hosted event with an ex). The skaters sign and then slingshot t-shirts into the crowd, and then when they are done, start fooling around and try to slingshot each other.
Yeah, her ex was kind of boring, a bit overly cute. I'm surprised (but happy) they aired Gold and Denney/Frazier (looks like they didn't show Aldridge/Eaton, unless I missed it). During Gold's number, I looked over at the NBC booth and it looked like the screens on their monitors were black. I can't remember the last time they showed the Jr Pairs champs - my guess is it was b/c of the Haven/Caydee connection and it gave them a good story.
It was actually used to launch the signed items to the upper stand
during the finale for the exhibition.
How could they have set up the Andrea Joyce piece with Caydee and Haven, complete with pair Tebowing without showing Haven & Brandon.
What show were you watching? Because the show I was watching showed Haven and Brandon
Has a winning Junior FS ever been shown in place of the skater's exhibition number in previous years?
That was the point. If they hadn't showed Haven & Brandon, how could they have had the lead in for the Caydee & Haven Tebow segment?
They couldn't.
So they had to show Haven & Brandon.
And chack Aldridge & Eaton
I'd rather see A&E, and chack the Tebowing
Yeah, she was first. And you missed the cheesy opening, with the skaters (led by Ashley) walking and wagging their index fingers to 'Do You Know the Way to San Jose?' Gag!!!
I remember Caroline & Mirai's junior free skates were shown on the year when they went 1-2 in Juniors ('07?). A bit of Chris Bowman's Junior winning freeskate was shown in 1982.

Barco continues its bullish trend in order to reach long term resistance (EUR 73.4).
The companys fundamentals are still strong. Analysts from Thomson Reuters consensus have revised largely upward their EPS estimates.
Technically, the security is in an uptrend and supported by moving averages. The bullish trend will not be stopped until prices are above the EUR 58.05 short term support. This trend should allow the stock to reach its EUR 73.4 long term resistance, which will be the main target price.
In consequence, investors can take a long position in Barco with a TP at EUR 73.4. This level is the long term resistance. A new bullish fluctuation could lead the security toward its highest level in case of a breakout of this resistance. A stop loss will be fixed under the short term support at EUR 58.05.

Bingo. Sorry if I didnt address it correctly. We have a good sex life, but it is very much up and down. The down is solely because the past issues keep coming up... it either affects her ability to 'let go', or my ability to really even want to be with her.I've had the question about forgiveness... here's my .02. I feel like she has been forgiven for it, and even though it wasn't directed at me per se, she seeks my forgiveness all the time. I really think it is more of a consequence issue at this point... we end up living with sin from our past. I have forgiven her, but once again, I just don't see this thing going away. It keeps coming up again and again, and as of the last few weeks, it really begins to not only affect our sex life, but it seeps into communication, basic interactions, etc. That help?
I agree with what you say... would like to get rid of it once and for all. Did you turn it over once you and your first wife were no longer together? I only ask out of curiosity.
As for bringing it up, I try to never let it surface... it really is not a part of my thought process except when she brings it up. Thanks for the thoughts and questions.
Good post, Norton.Manna.

Hi there,
This very good friend of mine needs to prepare this presentation on "How would I make sure that the EFL (english as a foreign language) teaching methods she introduces would be met within the different/changing environments". She is to show how exactly would she make sure that the members of her team follow the methods she introduces. As it is to be of the work interview she's very nervous.
Apart from tortures and eavesdropping I can't think of any more . Seriously though, would anybody here have some suggestions to put her in the right direction?
Would appreciate anything.

Hello everyone, I just learned about this forum from THR. I have been into firearms since I saw my dad's .32 snub that a cousin (who was on the HPD at the time) sold him (circa mid-1960s). It looked like the guns on Dragnet (yes I'm really dating myself). As I got older I learned that it was a FIE Titan (yeah a so called SNS) but by then I had a .22 rifle & .410 shotgun.
When I was 14 my mom got me a single action .22/.22Mag convertable revolver (don't laugh) made by RG (ancestor of the Heritage single actions) and I shot my first game animal with a handgun with it. I shot a squirrel with it (head shot @ 10 yards) and I don't know who was more surprised me or that squirrel!!! It hooked me on handgun hunting.
After buying and selling several sizable collections worth of guns (the last DD (during divorce :roll: )), now I use anything from my new meager collection of guns to go to the woods or range with, .50 caliber BP Plains Pistols (hence my screen name) to Ruger Mrk I to my Polish Radom P-64 (9 X 1 8).

First up, the repainted codpiece armor. since it was the only gray part I've painted at the time, I decided to start over on it so it would match up with the two-layered mustard technique of the chest armor. Plus the gray was too light, so I used gray primer as the top layer, and it worked out quite well.
The right shoulder bell is done, but at the time I was doing the second layer of mustard, I forgot to do the left shoulder bell! Arg! So I'm having to repaint the left one at the moment, and that will come later...
Collar armor. Nuff said. Since the HS Fett has round knobs instead of computer key knobs, I'll be looking for some. Anyone know of any plain cylindrical thumb screws or anything like that that would work? I really don't want to use the computer keys since that's not what was seen in the cartoon.
Full shot. You can see the left shoulder bell here, with it's ONE layer of battle damage... *grumble grumble*
By the way, none of this stuff is weathered yet. Damaged, yes. But not weathered. :P

Special Olympics
Record number participate in Special Olympics Winter Games at Waterville
By JOHN KOZIOL
Union Leader Correspondent | March 05. 2014 6:01PM
Benjamin Demers of Pelham poses Tuesday afternoon on the slopes of Waterville Valley Ski Resort following the end of competition at the 38th annual New Hampshire Special Olympics Winter Games. Demers, who took home several ribbons, but no medals, said the focus of the competition is less on winning than about "love and sharing love with friends. (JOHN KOZIOL PHOTO)
Culminating Tuesday afternoon, the games began Sunday evening with an opening ceremony in the Town Square at Waterville Valley that featured a first-ever flyover by a New Hampshire State Police helicopter, a parade of emergency vehicles and the arrival of the Olympic flame by snowmobile.
As an added revenue source for the Dip, Hill said some police departments have let their officers grow beards in exchange for an additional $100 donation to the Special Olympics.
Hundreds of participants and spectators are expected to be at the Winni Dip but not Benjamin Demers.
"It's too cold," explained Demers, who competed in the winter games at Waterville Valley and has his sights set on the May 29-31 state summer games at the University of New Hampshire in Durham.
Demers began skiing seven years ago and has attended the winter games every year since.
Winning is nice, said his mom, Colleen, but the Special Olympics are about much more. Benjamin finished her thought, saying they're "about love and sharing love with friends."

Re: Installing an Air / Oil Separator on the LFX Engine
Try this to see for yourself. For app $10 get a clear glass inline fuel filter and install it between the outlet and the IM and in 100 miles or less it will be full of the oil passing through that style can.
Still much better than no can.
Re: Installing an Air / Oil Separator on the LFX Engine
I don't care for the plastic fittings on your can which get loose and fail after a year of high underhood temperatures, and you cannot open up, service or clean the substrate in your can. Finally, we both know you have to say the can you are pushing is "30% plus" better; you could never endorse another can over the one you are selling! That won't fill your wallet.
The Moroso always works like it is brand new because it is so easy to service and all the metal is unaffected by high underhood temps. I don't have any idea what is going on inside your can but I can tell you it becomes restrictive over time in service.
Re: Installing an Air / Oil Separator on the LFX Engine
A complete lie as usual.....read this thread. I endorse the AMW, the ELite engineering, the Saiku Micchi, etc. All that have tested to work well.
Look at the pictures and read the descriptions and test results......The truth seems to come hard for some.....and you are a perfect example. You can see the internal workings of the RX can as well but don't change, keep that can and let the oil in.
This is the usual response on those that have gone to the RX can, he is a member here:
Hey Tracy, Just wanted to thank you, and everyone at RevXtreme. I bought a catch can from you, for my 2005 CTS. Well since installing it i'm not consuming any oil anymore. I've had a close eye on the oil level since i have installed it and it hasn't used a drop. I don't know how or what that catch can has done to prevent the oil consumption. (I've read your tech tips article and understand the concept of how a catch can work.) I guess i am just baffeled that it something so simple like that could work.
Anyway just wanted to thank you. I was at my last wits end with this car and was about to put it back on the market, after the dealer replaced two motors under warrenty.
I'll be purchasing another catch can from you in the future. I have a 2000 Camaro SS that is getting a turbo as we speak, as a fun project street car.
But thanks again. It was definetly worth the wait.

Terry! Still Proving You Are An Amateur.
Your response was predictable, and unprofessional. That was the main reason I went looking for another product. When owners (on several different forums) post a product they have bought, you oftentimes jump up and down with a childish response. The first being "mines better", and the follow up to any criticism (constructive or otherwise) you insult your potential customer base. You just called me a liar, not cool; certainly not someone I would consider doing business with. The link You provided above chronicles another unprofessional exchange between you and the automotive community.
It is a fact that No catch can, will stop 100% of the vapors, your can does not disassemble, it does have plastic top fittings, and the folks at Moroso are more professional.
You have quoted the letter which indicates that after installing your can: "I've had a close eye on the oil level since i have installed it and it hasn't used a drop." While another customer stated: "I did an oil change today and drained my catch can at the same time. And WOW it had like 100ml of foamy disgusting oil."
So you want the reader to think they can catch All the oil vapors in your can, yet the oil level never moves on the dipstick? If so, the only thing filling your can is BS. Uh-Oh, look who painted themselves into a corner... Again.
If you had any professional courtesy at all, your reply to my post would've been something like "So you are saying if we had an all metal servicable design you would buy it?" That would've done the trick and made a sale as well as engaging conversation. Not a pissing contest. Your product is six or a half dozen in my opinion, but I'd pay thrice as much for a can, half as effective, just to avoid supporting someone who repeatedly patronizes people on forums who disagree with you.
Re: 2012+ Performance Thread For LFX 3.6L V6 Engine - Discussion & Resources
So, you did not look at the cutaways of the cans and the explanations (including the RX)? You can be as ignorant as you like, but the reason for installing a can is to stop all or nearly all the oil ingestion.....and you ignore the simple test to see. The Moroso is app 1/3th the internal volumne it needs to be for the flow through to slow enough for the droplets to not be sucked into the side you use as an outlet (there is no designated outlet or inlet) so you have less than 1/4" separating the two sides....and there is media against each side so the outlet side is no different than putting a wet washcloth up to your mouth and sucking...what happens? You suck water out. Same thing happens with your can:
The RX can has 14" between the inlet and outlet and is app 1 qt capacity so the speed of the flow through can slow enough for the droplets to not be pulled along with the flow (take a straw, spill some water in a saucer, and suck...all is pulled up. Do the same now with a 1/2 hose and no water is pulled up...same principal for those that don't understand the physic's of flow dynamics. Or a simple dentist suction does the same).
The RX can also never mixes the separated/cleaned crankcase vapors with the incoming dirty ones as your can does (simple, look at the can you have apart...or the pictures I show here to follow the logic). Yours has a central chamber that the vapors travel into and out of.
The Saiku Micchi also traps nearly all the oil (app 40% plus more than your can) as well as the AMW or Elite Engineering.
But since you don't seem to care about function...make sure you stay with what you have.....and the difference in fuction between cans is huge as you could see in the other thread of all the pictures
And the plastic flow controlling checkvalves are high heat poly and they are only on the lowest priced base unit:
For a bit extra, then use nice AN fittings and braided lines:
Re: 2012+ Performance Thread For LFX 3.6L V6 Engine - Discussion & Resources
Now you're offering me all the ignorance I'd like? Nice. Yes a Moroso is smaller, but that is not a picture of the can I have or it's internals; Moroso cans do not have integrated brackets. and with the substrate inside, and the two 90o turns in and out, and a 180o gas path inside (you removed the plate and the can is pictured upside down) I have had little difference in the accumulation rate of "catched" oil than one of your customers - this is arguably hard for anyone to prove. We did pull the intake side hoses and both have a slight sheen to them. I might have bought yours if you were a professional.

Re: 2012+ Performance Thread For LFX 3.6L V6 Engine - Discussion & Resources
I'm glad you guys have seemed to work this out...
I did want to say that I have found Tracy to be nothing but professional. He took the time to answer all my questions personally & explained a lot. He doesn't try to oversell or push you into buying anything. Originally I asked him about a dual valve catchcan & an ice-o-lator for my '12 CTS. He told me the cheaper single valve was what I needed & the ice-o-lator was unnecessary due to my plastic manifold cover. He could've just as easily sold me the more expensive stuff & kept his mouth shut but he didn't. I appreciate guys like Tracy on this forum helping out. & no I'm not a paid spokesperson, just a satisfied customer.
Keep up the great work Tracy!
Re: 2012+ Performance Thread For LFX 3.6L V6 Engine - Discussion & Resources
SC2150,First, I am totally sold on the catch can and am contemplating buying one. On your Camaro link you state: (We test all we can, and then cut them apart. Go back a few pages and see the results in detail with pictures.
The ones (and again, test for yourself)
that are tops are in this order:
RX catches all visable oil
Saiku Micchi Catches 90-95%
AMW & Elite (tied) catch 90-95% on NA applications.
Any of these are great cans we endorse (even though compete directly against us, they are great) Can you let us know the method you use to get the numbers you are quoting, RX - All, Saiku Michi - 90-95%, AMW & Elite 90-95%. What is the test method ? How are the percentages calculated ?
Tale of Three Cans
IPF Tuning - PowerTune - Up to 25HP from original engineers!
IPF Tuning - PowerTune - Up to 25HP from original engineers!
Just a heads up that LFX and most others actually, can get a fantastic tune for your motor which will unleash up to another 25HP and only requires running 91 octane fuel. The short version is, in order for your motor to run 87 octane safely, certain fuel and ignition parameters cannot be set as aggressively. If you only run 91 octane fuel, these curves can be set to take advantage of this. IPF Tuning was founded as an offshoot of a German company which wrote the original DI programs. Unlike a Trifecta tune (which software in capable hands can yield good results), the IPF Tuning PowerTuneg accesses the original fuel and ignition tables, instead of piggybacking on top them. It is completely reversible, and yields instant noticeable, Measurable results.
The price is around $499 for the complete setup, including a tune from the database best matching your car.
Give them a call - They are happy to answer any questions - I was quite impressed!
I got word that they are still testing to get the tune working on the 2013 CTS coupe, I got one for my vehicle and it didn't work at all.
Re: 2012+ Performance Thread For LFX 3.6L V6 Engine - Discussion & Resources
I see good results from both companies tunes as reported by the customers and the dyno graphs........they fight non-stop, and neither are perfect, but for what is available the gains are worth it IMHO (from either).

Re: 2012+ Performance Thread For LFX 3.6L V6 Engine - Discussion & Resources
@XERyder I see you say in one of your post that someone could mod the Corsa CTS V Coupe exhaust to fight on a non-cts v coupe? Do you know what they do? It seems like you could use the whole setup and just cut the tips off?
CTS-V Exhaust on CTS 3.6
I'm still very pleased with my Borla axle-back system - it's quiet going down the road, and sounds off when you stand on it.
Re: CTS-V Exhaust on CTS 3.6
I love the sound of your coupe with the Borla axle back, in fact I will say its by far the best sounding CTS 3.6 I've ever heard! A while ago I had a listen to your video and that is the exact sound I want from my coupe. My coupe has the manual trans so it should sound amazing as I row the gears, lol.

Details surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S4 and its likely processor appear to have leaked online.
Korean website Ddaily has revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will ship with a new form of quad-core Exynos processor. Exynos is the name attributed to Samsung's range of custom-built processors.
This new Exynos chip - code-named 'Adonis' after the Greek god of beauty and desire - will apparently be built on ARM15 architecture. This is a next generation process formed using a 28-nm standard, which means that the core chip will be smaller, faster and more energy efficient.
It's expected that this will be the first mobile processor built using this advanced process.
Samsung's previous flagship handset, the Samsung Galaxy S3, also featured a quad-core Exynos chip, but it was built using a larger 32-nm process. Production difficulties also meant that not all versions of the Samsung Galaxy S3 could feature the chip, with some using Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 processor instead.
The report claims that Samsung is in the process of testing the Adonis chip right now, with mass production set for the first quarter of 2013. Given that both the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Samsung Galaxy S2 launched in May of 2012 and 2011 respectively, this manufacturing schedule would appear to tie in nicely.
Indeed, according to the report, the Samsung Galaxy S4 will launch in the first half of next year. We'd bet on the end of that first half.
Are you excited by the prospect of the Samsung Galaxy S4? What changes would you like to see in the Samsung Galaxy S3's successor? Let us know via our Facebook page or the comments box below, or Tweet us @TrustedReviews.

Good job! If you don't mind me asking. How many hives are they requesting and how many total hives do you have. Im curious cause some day I might want to go that route and wonder how big one has to be to start pollinating.ThanksMike
what is the range in cost for rental of a beehive?
Its time to make some splits :-D in the field question is...Do I bring the splits home or move the somewhere else in the same field?

Disney lays off staff at game developer LucasArtsAP , Associated Press
Apr. 3, 2013 3:20 PM ET
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Four months after acquiring "Star Wars" maker Lucasfilm, The Walt Disney Co. is shutting down video game production at subsidiary LucasArts and laying off staff as it focuses on the less-risky, less-expensive path of licensing its characters and stories to other developers.
A Disney spokesman confirmed the layoffs Wednesday, but didn't say how many people were affected.
Website Kotaku said 150 people were laid off, citing an unnamed source. Two games that had been in production, "Star Wars: First Assault" and "Star Wars: 1313," were canceled, Kotaku said.
Disney has been moving away from games that are expensive to make for consoles, like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and toward apps.
One example of the licensing model is Rovio Entertainment Ltd.'s November launch of "Angry Birds Star Wars."

Greetings fellow Bounty Hunter/Star Wars enthusiasts! Thought I'd show you my Bossk impression here, as Bossk is has a cloe connection with Bobba Fett in the Star Wars lore. This is my first and only Star Wars costume, though I also do historical reenactments going back to ancient Rome and up to Viet Nam. My "day job" is running the U.S. Army Museum at Fort Campbell. The guy who introduced me into the Star Wars hobby, 'Tambo Fett' is a member here, and his excellent Bobba and Jango costumes inspired me to go the extra mile, and really put a lot into this Bossk. It has been a big hit at the few events it was seen at, as it has only been truly complete for about two months now.
I made nearly the complete costume from scratch save for the unpainted mask and arms. I added high quality glass taxidermy eyes, (as looking through the mask eyes is not very convincing) so look out of the mouth. Along with the massive custom 'dinosaur' feet (with individual scales), Bossk stands an intimidating 6 foot 8 inches, and pretty scary for some of the little kids. The flight suit is a real USAF flight suit converted to resemble the real, RAF Windak suit that Bossk wore in the film, as the usual 'yellow cotton coveralls' just aren't right. The USAF suit has the same taped seams and waterproof/airtight zippers as Bossk's Windak suit, but I had to add the black rubber collar that the helmet ring and zipper opening are imbedded into. All of the hardware on the suit that should be metal, is metal, and Tambo helped make some of the bits at an avionics workshop on our base.
The blaster is made from an Army camouflage net pole, old paintball gun, cast resin scopes, and a wooden AK 47 stock I brought back frm Iraq. The blast effect in the photo was made with a Roman candle inserted in the barrel.
The costume is now complete, though I may make a hypethetical helmet to fit Bossk's big 'lizard head', since the 'space suit' is designed to have one. Or did he just 'eat' its former, human occupant (seen wearing this suit in the Cantina earlier) ? :eek

Wayne Law professor to help assess the future of St. Lawrence River Basin
Wayne State University Law School Professor Nick Schroeck has been invited to participate in the final stage of a U.S. and Canadian project to assess the past and future of the St. Lawrence River Basin.
The Great Lakes Futures Project is a venture of the Transborder Research University Network for Water Stewardship, a partnership established in 2007 of 21 Canadian and U.S. research institutions, including Wayne State University.
Schroeck, a Bloomfield Township resident and a 2007 alumnus of Wayne Law, is director of the law school's Transnational Environmental Law Clinic and executive director of the nonprofit Great Lakes Environmental Law Center.
The Great Lakes Futures Project, over the past two years, has analyzed the future that current environmental public policies are leading to and formulated recommendations to bring those policies closer to creating a desired state for the St. Lawrence River Basin, including its air and water quality. The recommendations and final analyses will be presented and discussed during a meeting Thursday, Oct. 3, and Friday, Oct. 4, in Buffalo, N.Y.
"I will be there to listen to and engage with that discussion," Schroeck said. "Then we will continue the discussion among a smaller group of legally oriented scholars in an effort to tease out, critique and hopefully build upon the findings. I will then be drafting a short memo analyzing some of the legal and governance implications of the Great Lakes Futures Project. The idea is that the discussion and memos will lay the foundation for a special issue of a journal or a dedicated book on the future of the Great Lakes' St. Lawrence River Basin, in which I will contribute an article. Using a rigorous scenario analysis methodology, this initiative engaged more than 30 faculty, 25 graduate students, representatives from non-governmental organizations and government officials from the United States and Canada."

No it ain't. Look again.
Found out that is not the problem. My son in law has a desk top and a laptop. On the desk top he had to download a "Windows Media Player Plug-in for Firefox". BUT! Did nothing on the lap top and he was able to view it on both. He is not signed up. Still couldn't get it to work on my Daughters Laptop.They both have Vista. I have XPpro I think.
