I figured I'd share my efforts with some people who might like my attempt. My dogs just licked the bucket and my girlfriend told me to go clean up my paints. Thanks Marrow for the awesome lid and also to Lee for the paints.
(Sorry everyone, I'm a finance guy, not a computer guy. Cut and paste if you could. Couldn't resize these down to the proper size without making 'em disappear.)
Still needs a few details on and around the left ear, but I'm burnt out. I'll get to it later.

Courts are government institutions that administer justice in criminal and civil matters. They're mediated by one or more judges, magistrates or justices who have been appointed or elected.
Courts rely on an adversarial system of justice, which is intended to resolve disputes with fair and impartial outcomes. Their primary purpose is to decide questions of law and determine facts. Attorneys for each side present arguments and introduce evidence to support their arguments.
In some court cases, the final judgment is handed down by a jury of citizens chosen through a selection process. In other cases, a judge makes the final ruling. Cases may be heard in criminal court, civil court, or appellate court.

South Sevier's Race Parsons is one of the best scorers in the history of Utah high school basketball, and he continues to climb in the record books.
The senior guard dropped 18 points in a 56-32 win over North Summit in the opening round of the Class 2A state tournament Thursday, moving him past Robbie Reid (2,032 points for Spanish Fork from 1990-93) for fifth all-time.
Parsons has now scored 2,056 points in his four seasons with the Rams. He needs 45 more points to move past Mike Maxwell (Highland, 1983-87).
But Parsons might be running out of time.
The Southern Utah University signee plays top-ranked Wasatch Academy in the state tournament Friday at 9 p.m.
Is this where Parsons' incredible high school career ends?
Utah's all-time scoring leaders, per UHSAA
2,283 Gary Hill, Gunnison, 1959-63
2,191 Randy Reid, Spanish Fork, 1986-89
2,153 Kurt Miller, Ben Lomond, 1983-87

Being from Louisiana and eating ducks I hunted most of my life, I have tried numerous ways to cook duck, some good, some not so good. A friend turned me on to this recipe for grilling doves several years back so I tried it with duck and it has evolved since then. It has become a family favorite at gatherings around my house.
Mikes Barbecued Duck Recipe
1. Marinade Duck breasts for 1 – 2 days in Milk
2. Quarter breasts into bite size pieces
3. Marinade 24 – 36 hrs in following:
2-3 limes
½ bottle of balsamic vinegar
2-3 cups red wine (any type)
Toy Chacheries seasoning (or your favorite cajun spice seasoning)
½ bottle of Allegro Original Marinade
4. Prepare Sauce
Red Plum Preserves or plum jam
2 tbsp Frozen OJ
1 – 2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp Cherry Cooking Wine
5. Wrap Ducks in thick sliced bacon cut in half as follows:
1 slice sweet onion
1 duck breast slice
1 Jalepeno pepper
1 slice "sweet" onion (Vidalia is the best)
6. Cook duck medium/rare on grill – do not overcook (Baste with sauce while cooking) maybe 5 minutes or so
7. Baste again with sauce before serving
Bet you can't eat just one:)

Hey everyone,
I went to Mexico in December and I fell in love with the place, to the point that I'd like to move out there one day. In fact, I'm thinking of making it happen pretty soon if possible, I would just like some advice on what I need to do to make such a thing happen, what steps do I need to take?
Accommodation wise, I have a friend out there who I can stay with, I won't be able to stay there long term but at least it'll be something to get going with. Then there's the job situation, I don't have a degree, I don't even have any GCSEs, will I still be able to teach English? It's a shame I don't have any GCSEs, because my English is good.
So yeah, I'm just after some advice as to how I could make this happen.
Any help would be much appreciated

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Usually I go a whole day, because you need to adjust to the board. A couple runs IMO is worthless. You need it at least a day.
Originally Posted by GeoFX View Post
I was wondering about the waist width when first researching the SL and based on Snowolf's review of the 158 Heritage (with a waist width of 25.4cm and his size 8.5 feet). I asked him if he thought the the board was too wide and he replied that the ultra-responsiveness of the camber sections in the RC tech was well suited for smaller-footed riders even at those widths. The SL has a 25.2cm waist width (for comparison, my Slayblade 153 has a 24.8cm ww). Other reviews of the NS men's boards (by Shayboarder who has smaller feet than myself) never mentioned the WW being an issue.
Another reason for going to a 155 board (and thus wider width) is that I generally ride in big-mountain resorts with more pow so that should be better than the 153 with respect to floatability.
I'll back you up Geo. I have demoed a lot of stuff. A LOT. I could offer a lot better options than the SL. The SL failed for me. The Evo and Heritage were much better in their respective categories.
I doubt I ever own a Never Summer. Just seems to me, if you are avoiding the one board quiver option, there are boards that are better in each category.
The SL is a damp, I thought stable board (I have ridden a lot of RC type boards). However, it is so plank like, that it just doesn't have the fun and snap of other boards in their category. Plain and simple, unless you are a beginner, ride the SL and then ride the Coda from Arbor. Tell me which board you liked better without lying. I think newer riders love the SL because it is definitely more damp and stable at speed than the Coda. But the Coda has way more response edge to edge, the grip tech is better edge technology, and the snap and pop is on another planet compared to the SL. But for a beginner to advanced beginner borderlining on intermediate, I get it. For good enough riders, the little extra chatter at speed doesn't bother you.
If you want a quiver killer, the SL is great. Damp and stable to make ANYONE comfortable bombing. But if you are willing to buy a couple boards, get something that is excellent in certain categories, and weaker in other categories, and become a better rider so that issues of dampness and stability mean less to you because that little extra chatter when bombing no longer scares you.
Even as a one board quiver killer, I can think of boards right now that are better than the SL. The Arbor Coda, the Lib Tech TRS, the Forum Double Dog Destroyer (fun board, little dampness, and edge hold is weaker, but the snap and responsiveness are worth it if you can ride well), K2 Turbo Dream, Ride Machete, the list goes on.....

I am your size and have ridden both lengths.
I have also test ridden the 2012 SL 153 and 155 (I own the 2009 SL 155) and I don't think the would 153 be stable enough for him (I'm like 15 lbs lighter than the both of you and fine the 155 pretty easy to turn), but who knows...

Video of me messing around on the NS SL155 on a mellow slope.
Another video, at 0:45 you can see me flat-boarding quite a bit down a slope to hit a 40-foot kicker. That's the same jump you see at the start of the video (my friends are lazy and it's hard for me to get them to film me).
I usually demo 1-2 days, depending on how much I like it. Rode the Heritage for 2 days. Rode the SL for a day. Rode the Lynn for a day, then rode the T Rice the second day.
Usually I go a whole day, because you need to adjust to the board. A couple runs IMO is worthless. You need it at least a day.

Board got squirrelly underfoot as I rode over some ice. Pretty sure I caught my front edge, it happened so fast. But, I hit my face on the ice/snow before I could react and proceeded to flip head over heels 2 times. Racking my head both times...well my face was the first time. I have a bruise on the bridge of my nose and my neck it just barely soar. I made it out pretty good considering. I think it helped that my body ragdolled and I didn't try to stop myself."
I was riding my NS Premier for the second time and definitely noticed some squirrelliness when flatbasing. Won't be doing that again.
It probably is. And I haven't ridden a Slayblade. I actually didn't ride the Turbo Dream with Harshmellow. I rode the model the year before without it.
You are spot on with turn initiation. I have found in every category, that you can find boards with quicker turn initiations than the Never Summer option. My favorite board of theirs is the Heritage, which I would consider buying, but the responsiveness is something that always holds me back. Ride a Jamie Lynn the next day, and compare. It's scary....

text: Indeed, this is so sad - expecially because the above is true, or at least percieved as such by too many (including me). S/S are an incredible pair. Thanks to that, in my opinion there is one thing they could do to win gold: forget about anything else (the scores, the critiques, the judges, the odds, the outcome) and just focus on being the best possible skaters they can be. Too much effort, too much worrying about what's out of their control (like the possible bias towards Russian skaters, expecially Pairs since it's the strongest Russian event), the anticipation of a lost gold, all of that can get them under the weather and make them skate worse than they could. But if they thrive, if they focus solely on being the amazing skaters they are capable of being, they can wow the world, anf put the Russian bias in a difficult spot. Put pressure and V/T too, and make them handle it instead of letting V/T forcing pressure on competitors. In my opinion S/S have to think about their job, fly high, dream big; if that shows it could work a miracle. What worries me the most, isn't even that dangerous 3A, but the fact I'm seeing them less confident and less happy than thier talent and work should make them.

Halloween will be here in a few short days! Are you prepared? This holiday has traditionally given everyone the chance to show off their costuming creativity, and as anyone who's ever been to Otakon knows that geeks are no exception. Costumes from geek culture can be a refreshing change from the endless parade of zombies or sexy [fill in the blank]s that dominate most Halloween parties.
Nevertheless, the geek costume subgenre has begun to fall prey to cliches of its own! In this slideshow, we offer suggestions for new and exciting costume ideas, and tips on how to make more run-of-the-mill costumes fresh.

At a recent Enterprise Mobility event, I spoke with a few Asia-based IT directors about their journey in the age of consumerization of IT, and how they were dealing with Bring-Your-Own Technology (BYOT) at work. Their responses ranged from 'fear of the unknown' – as in 'how do we deal with this trend?' to 'paralysis by analysis' – as in 'let's arm ourselves with as much information as possible, and analyze it to death.'
The issue is – their employees are already accessing corporate email on their own mobile devices – which means that these IT managers are scrambling to catch up to managing BYOT in their organizations. In fact, an IT head at a large FMCG organization admitted that he did not know where to start managing BYOT.
Security and compliance were key concerns for these IT folks, and their concerns are valid. Trend Micro predicts, for example, that 91% of targeted attacks begin with spear-phishing, a highly targeted type of phishing aimed at specific individuals or groups within an organization. This was heightened in a recent spear-phishing attack on a South Korea bank. The security provider also predicts that there will be 1 million malicious Android apps in the wild by the end of 2013 – another red flag for organizations coping with the rise of Android devices at their work place.

Officials are investigating an incident at an East Texas club where shots were fired, and one man was arrested.
Smith County Sheriff Larry Smith tells KLTV that 20-year-old Ricky Bruno was arrested by the Smith County Precinct 1 Constable's office Saturday night following an incident at the Outlaws club in Smith County. This is between Tyler and Whitehouse.
According to Sheriff Smith, Bruno was being escorted out of the club by an off duty Precinct 1 Deputy Constable who was working security at the club. Bruno got into his vehicle, and then according to the initial report, attempted to run into the Deputy Constable. That's when the Deputy Constable fired two shots at the vehicle. We are told Bruno was not hit by any of the shots. Bruno then crashed his car into a nearby ditch.
"I heard two gunshots and so I came outside and saw a car in the ditch at the exit of Outlaws and about three people ran up to the car and then I heard a man coughing and gagging and I couldn't tell if he was shot or just sick to his stomach," says a woman who witnessed the incident.
Authorities arrested Ricky Bruno at the scene. He was booked into the Smith County Jail and is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and evading arrest. The Smith County Precinct 1 Constable's Office is investigating this incident.
The Smith County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident around the shots fired.
We are continuing to find out more information on this incident and will bring the latest to KLTV.com as that information becomes available.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Day two at the 2014 SEC Championships saw a couple more qualifiers and a couple more scorers for the University of Tennessee men's and women's track and field teams.
"We had two advancements today," said Head Coach J.J. Clark. "In the 1,500 Alexis Panisse moved on and Felicia Brown advanced in the 400m, we needed those for tomorrow."
Aslynn Halvorson added to the Lady Vols points total early in the day. Halvorson reached the shot put final from flight one with a 14.96m (49-1) throw. In her first championship round throw she blasted her personal record by over a half a meter with a toss of 15.99m (52-5 ½). With the throw she improved to sixth place in the competition.
Cassie Wertman finished the event with a throw of 14.60m (47-10 ¾), good for 11th place.
Tavis Bailey got the Vols on the board in one of the most competitive events on the day. Entering the men's discus competition, the SEC boasted three of the top four distances in the country in 2014 including Bailey's third place distance. In a heated battle, Bailey came away in fourth place with a throw of 60.06m (197-0).
"Tavis entered competition with the second best throw in the conference," said Clark. "He had a huge throw today, but fouled, but we needed points and he provided some. Tomorrow he hits the shot put and we will look forward to him doing some damage there."
Matthew Hoty also took part in the discus for the Vols finishing in 12th with a throw of 51.57m (169-2), a 2014 best for the junior.
On the track side of things, two more Lady Vols qualified for Sunday's final. Panisse started the track events off with a bang when she crossed the line first in the first heat of the 1,500m run in a time of 4:21.52, automatically qualifying for the finals.
In the first heat of the 400m dash, the Lady Vols finished three-four as Brown came across first in 53.52 while Felecia Majors crossed in 53.59. After all four heats were complete, Brown found herself in ninth place qualifying for the finals while Majors was just on the edge with her top-10 finish.
"We still have a lot of competition with the discus, men's javelin, men's pole vault, the 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, plus the relays. We are looking into coming in tomorrow with a good energy, good spirit, and maximizing our opportunities."
The track and field team returns to action on the final day of the SEC Championships Sunday afternoon beginning at 11 a.m. with the men's javelin. The track events begin at 2 p.m. with the women's 4x100m relay and will conclude, as always, with the 4x400m relay at approximately 5:30 p.m.

BETHLEHEM, Pa.
The 19th-ranked University of Tennessee women's cross country team defeated 34 teams, including four ranked squads, as it won the 31st Paul Short Run in dominating fashion on Saturday morning at Lehigh University's 6,000-meter Goodman Campus course.
All five Lady Vol scorers wound up among the top 16 runners, crossing the finish line within 44 seconds of one another, as UT tallied 53 points to claim the team championship. Tenth-ranked Villanova, the alma mater of UT Head Coach J.J. Clark, was second with 87 points, followed by No. 13 Columbia (89), William & Mary (135) and No. 15 Georgetown (156) rounding out the top five. The second five consisted of Buffalo (194), No. 27 Yale (225), Richmond (262), LaSalle (284) and Southeastern Conference foe Auburn (292).
"Our team came here and demonstrated that we are better than we were last year," Clark said. "It's a very solid win this time of the season and a nice step for our program as we continue to move forward. It is still early (in the year), but it is always rewarding to beat good teams."
Senior Brooke Novak, making her season debut, looked very sharp in snaring a third-place finish in a time of 20:43.13 to set the tone for UT. It marked the second-fastest 6K in her career, with the personal best (20:04.79) coming at the 2001 SEC meet. Novak, who led her team to the line for the seventh time in her career and her fifth-consecutive race, finished behind victorious Angela Homan of Auburn (20:27.39) and runner-up Marina Muncan of Villanova (20:33.44).
"It's a very positive opening meet and 6K for Brooke," Clark said. "We certainly look forward to more good things from her this season. This performance indicates she has a chance to do quite well later in the year."
Aiding the scoring cause for Team Orange were junior Megan Cauble (Knoxville, Tenn.) and sophomore Felicia Guliford (Gallup, N.M.), who took ninth and 10th in 21:10.06 and 21:15.16, respectively. The clocking was a career-best for Guliford, who charted a 5,000-meter personal record with a first-place finish of 17:32 at the Mel Brodt Invitational on Sept. 11.
Rounding out the point contributors for the Lady Vols were sophomore Katie Flaute (Dayton, Ohio) and senior Elizabeth McCalley (Knoxville, Tenn.), who crossed in 15th and 16th, respectively, in 21:24.86 and 21:26.38. Flaute's effort was the best of her career, as was that of senior Nicole Cook (Petersburg, Va.), who did not score for Tennessee but wound up 89th in 22:48.74.
"We worked hard in practice this week and still came out with some cross country personal bests," Clark said. "Our lead runner ran solid, and everyone packed in behind against several ranked teams. I can't compare our performance to the other teams, but I know our team ran well today."
The Big Orange women, who now sport a 46-0 record on the season, return to action on Oct. 1, when they join the UT men in playing host to the Tennessee Invitational at Lambert Acres Golf Club in Maryville. The women's 5K race is slated to begin at 5:45 p.m. Eastern time, while the men's 8K gets underway at 6:15 p.m. at the hilly Blount County course that rests in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.
TOP TEN TEAMS: 1. Tennessee (53), 2. Villanova (87), 3. Columbia (89), 4. William & Mary (135), 5. Georgetown (156), 6. Buffalo (194), 7. Yale (225), 8. Richmond (262), 9. LaSalle (284), 10. Auburn (292).
TENNESSEE FINISHERS: 3. Brooke Novak (20:43.13), 9. Megan Cauble (21:10.06), 10. Felicia Guliford (21:15.16), 15. Katie Flaute (21:24.86), 16. Elizabeth McCalley (21:26.38), 89. Nicole Cook (22:48.74).

Thierry Henry firmly believes that Arsène Wenger's squad have what it takes to respond to their San Siro setback.
The Frenchman completed his second spell with the Gunners on Wednesday night amid the gloom of the Club's heaviest loss in European football. Players and fans alike left Italy under a cloud following the 4-0 defeat to AC Milan and Henry felt it as much as anyone.
All the same, as he left England for the United States and a new MLS season with the New York Red Bulls, Henry issued a reminder that every team suffers lows before they can scale the heights.
"Even the generation before that won the Double in 1998 or 1971, they had some very bad moments," he told Arsenal Player. "So that is what I would like to say to the fans: do not forget that.
"It was not always nice and pretty, you have to remember that we had some times where we just wanted to go home at the end of the game. The difference is how this team can react and I think this team can do that.
"We realise it is going to be a hell of a task but who knows? The Sunderland game is just around the corner so we have to go there and win."
Arsenal's Champions League may be hanging by a thread but a top-four finish and the FA Cup are still up for grabs. And Henry insists that Arsenal need their supporters more than ever right now.
"You have to remember that you go through moments where it is not always nice," he said.
"If you are an Arsenal fan then you are an Arsenal fan, that's the way it is. Once a Gunner you are always a Gunner, you can't change.
"I can't talk for people whose families have supported Arsenal forever. But I am sure if you talk to their parents, and their parents too, they will tell you to enjoy this generation because they had some bad moments.
"I am sure the fans will understand that they have to stay with the team. We all need to be together because it's the same when the team is winning and also when you lose."
Watch the full interview with Thierry on Arsenal Player soon.

The Canisius volleyball team lost in three sets to the University at Buffalo in the Koessler Athletic Center on Tuesday night. The Bulls defeated the Golden Griffins 27-25, 25-23, 25-20.
Sophomore Lauren Siebert had eight kills and two blocks while freshman Jacklyn Malusa also had eight kills. Senior Roxanne Hernandez posted four blocks as Canisius had eight team blocks on the day. Junior Emily Litwin led the Griffs with 17 digs.
"We need to play with intensity and urgency throughout an entire set, not just for spurts or late in the set when we are trailing," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. "With conference play starting on Saturday, we need to take what we learned in non-conference play and realize that every point and every thing we do matters throughout an entire match."
Canisius led for a majority of the first set, building an 18-13 lead after a kill from Siebert. Buffalo used a 6-1 run to get within one at 20-19. The Bulls eventually evened the score at 22-22 and had a set point at 24-23. Canisius fought off two set points, but Buffalo won the set on its third chance.
Buffalo (10-0) broke open the first set with a couple of three-point runs and went up 16-10 after an ace from Kelly Svoboda. Canisius made a late run, fighting off four set points, using a kill from Siebert, two kills from sophomore Rachel Kline and a kill from senior Jessica Warner. Buffalo would take the second set on the fifth set point on a kill from Christine Fritsche. The Bulls used a 5-1 run in the third set to build a 21-14 lead en route to closing out the match.
Fritsche led Buffalo with a match-high 10 kills. Dani Reinert and Taylor Pritchett combined for 42 assists while Svoboda had a match-high 25 digs.
Notes: Canisius played a set that went to extra points for the eighth time in 11 matches this season… Canisius had eight or more blocks for the fifth time this season… Siebert is hitting .400 in the last three matches… Hernandez had four or more blocks for the fourth time in 2013.

Wittenberg University students made a pledge to shatter the silence that surrounds sexual assault and violence when the campus chapter of No Woman Left Behind hosted "Take Back the Night" event.
No Woman Left Behind is a campaign of the national One Student movement, which creates programs and provides resources aimed at reducing sexual violence. No Woman Left Behind has chapters at just 13 colleges and universities in the United States. Wittenberg is the only chapter in the state of Ohio.
Jordyn Baker and Matt Pfouts, both members of the Class of 2014 and co-presidents of No Woman Left Behind, began to implement programming to bring awareness to sexual abuse on campus in 2012. The events have included "Naked Truth Week," which earned a campus award from the Office of Student Involvement in 2012, Women of Wittenberg (WOW) programming, Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, and Take Back the Night.
During the 2012-13 school year, Take Back the Night was a campus-wide effort that featured a T-shirt campaign throughout the day and a ceremony in the evening. Baker explained that the event has grown in just one year.
"Take Back the Night has been happening on campus for many years, but this year we were so amazed by the turnout of students," she said. "Many students got on stage to share their stories as sexual assault survivors or as a survivor's friend."
The organization continues to promote women within the community, inviting such female leaders as women's basketball Head Coach Sarah Jurewicz and University President Laurie Joyner to WOW programming and other events. The future for the group is to perpetuate these positive programs for the community to spread awareness and knowledge.
"We plan to continue sponsoring the Naked Truth Week and WOW as well as partnering with other campus organizations to continue discussions about sexual violence and what we can do to prevent it," said Baker.

what to buy??
alright i finaly got the go ahead from the boss lady to buy a new tow rig lol.. now i realy want a diesel to haul my xj, wood ect.
im looking to buy a f250 power stroke, more then likely pre 98. am i over looking a simpler cheaper alternative. i drive 1 hour round trip total to and from work 5-6 days a week and my g/f does 99% of weekend trip driving. im aware of the 30 cent fuel premium and cost of parts ect compared to my half ton chevy, i work and maintain all my own vehicles and know a couple diesel guys if i get in over my head.
also if i play my cards right i can sell my current dd pay the loan off and buy a ricer or gas friendly truck to drive when diesel gets out of hand.
am i over looking somthing about this new truck purchase to where it doesn't make sence? or should i just but a bigger motor half ton and live with it. id like to think i would be towing my xj once or twice a month during the normaly wheeling season, towing would consist of michigan and indiana maybe illinois.
thanks drew....sorry its long winded

I was in the same boat you were. I bought a diesel with all the intentions of towing my jeep all the time. After owning one, I have to say that if you don't need a diesel for work and towing a trailer all the time then its a waste. I went back to a 1/2 ton, cause I had no need for a diesel. I have a 05 f-150 crew cab 5.4 4x4. I get 15-16 mpg highway, and about 10 mpg towing my xj. In my diesel I got 15mpg all the time, towing dropped to about 11-12.

Look for a pre 99 cummins. If you look around they can be had for a decent price. Mine will get 15 mpg around town, 18 towing jeep on the highway and 24 cruising empty on the highway. If you can get a stick or one with a rebuilt auto trans.

I can send you a break even spreadsheet if you really think you want to see the cost of ownership on both side by side. I always look at the whole picture. When you decide on a few PM me the two purchase prices (Diesel & gasser), how many miles a year you drive, will you be financing it (interest is a factor), what your insurance quote is on both. The out of your control variables will be maintenance, cost of fuel; so let's assume they aren't going to change, or are equal.

thanks keep the comparisons coming
sorry colin couldnt own a dodge great motor just cant put myself in one with the known tranny problems along with other pot/kettle issues lol
ksejeeper i have thought about getting anothe half ton with the 5.3 but i have had 1 tranny blow the sun shell wich seems to be a problem with the gen chevy i want and would be extremely pissed if it happened on the way to a wheeling trip
other option is wait for my 1/4ly bonus pay my half ton off then buy a... strict tow rig maybe?

if you put tons of miles on a truck(over 15k per year), diesel all the way. if you tow in the mountains often, diesel all the way. if you tow over 10k lbs often, diesel all the way. if you put on 5 to 10 k miles per year, much of it not towing anything, a gasser will be cheaper in the long run. in the old days gassers were junk after 100 to 150 k.
diesels would last 300k. it was worth it to go diesel. now gassers last alot longer than they used to. its common to see used gassers with 250k+ now. longevity is almost a non issue now days.
i drive a diesel for a living, and i wanted a gasser for weekend fun. i love my v10 ford.
the mpgs blow, but it will pull anything and is fun to drive and cheap to upkeep.
other than maintenance, the only issue i have had was a bunch of exhaust manifold studs broke.

the 2 arguments im fighting are..
1. i like the hook-up to what ever and go idea along with the power and noise we all love in a diesel.
2. ill probly tow 1-2 times a month in michigan and maybe other surrounding flat states, i drive roughly 60 miles round trip for work, and basicaly dont tow much of anything else.
the problem with argument 2 is the sun shell in the trans which i dont want to have to worry about in the gen chevy i would be buying.
so im just looking for a combination of pro's-con's for either truck option

yeah i have looked at that 1 boggin... im going to go look at a superduty saturday that is currently not running that i might be able to bring home for cheap. whats everyone's thought on this option?... i dont have the exact story but it's somthing to do with changing a bad fuel tank (leaking) then it quite running or didn't run right afterwards has been sitting since.

colin i agree about the motor's they great makes power and run forever as most diesel's, but as stated the auto trans "suck" and i want a auto incase my g/f ever needs to drive it and im lazy.
ron86toy thanks for the info i was looking at the excursions but with the hunting and stuff i do i need a truck bed, other wise i would be buying an excursion.
on a side note i went and looked at a 96 f250 4x4 single cab work model manual window/lock rubber floor mat ect, has a rebuilt trans about a year ago and last fall quit running right so it was parked. any opions on buying if it can be bought cheap enough to justify the moeny it may take to get it running. the owner said it acts like a bad/plugged injector.
thanks drew

when diesels are broke its very expensive. its not just throw parts at it and hope its going to work. take a diesel guy with you to check it over very well. it could be the the fact the injectors loose prime. when the 7.3 loose prime you have to crank it till they prime. its a self priming system. someone could have been scared to crank it for that long. im sorry maybe i missed it but i looked again really quick. what year is it that your going to look at?

Pretty new to duck hunting and have been hunting small swamp ponds and cypress swamps for woodies. I have a small lease that is on the river and have started thinking about hunting it for ducks as well. Anyone that has any experience hunting rivers in fl and could give some advice, I would love to hear from you.

Box score
Philadelphia, PA - The Hawks scored the first goal of the game but the Pride tallied the next 11 as eighth-ranked Hofstra rolled to an 11-3 CAA victory over St. Joseph's at Finnesey Field Saturday afternoon. The Pride, which won their fifth consecutive contest, improve to 10-1 overall and 3-1 in conference play. The Hawks fall to 0-9 overall and 0-4 in the CAA.
Hofstra was led by Jamie Lincoln with three goals and one assist, Jay Card with three goals and Ian Braddish with a career-high four assists. Kevin Ford added two goals and one assist while Stephen Bentz had one goal and one assist. Junior Andrew Gvozden allowed just one goal and made seven saves in 53:45 of action before being relieved by sophomore Rob Bellairs. The Hawks of St. Joseph's were led by senior Scott Cullinan with a goal and an assist while Kyle Williams and Kyle Mahoney each added one goal.
The Pride found themselves in a slow down game early as the Hawks played keep away and held the ball from 90 seconds to 150 seconds in their early possessions. It paid off 6:16 into the contest when Matt Dougherty fed Cullinan from behind the cage for the games' first goal.
Hofstra started its run 5:20 later as senior Steven DeNapoli fired a running bounce shot past Hawks goalie Chris Moffa (33 min., 8 GA, 8 saves) to tie the game at 1-1. It was DeNapoli's third goal of the year. Just 49 seconds later, Lincoln took a pass from Ford on the left side of the crease and buried it for his 23rd goal of the season.
The Pride added four more goals in the second quarter as Bentz notched his 18th of the year off a short pass from Braddish 3:33 into the quarter for a 3-1 advantage. Lincoln scored his second of the contest 1:11 later on a pass from behind the cage from Bentz. Card then scored his 20th of the season off a pass from a falling down Braddish in front at the 8:54 mark to make it 5-1. The goals by Bentz and Card extended their consecutive game goal scoring streaks to 13 and 12, respectively. Their points also extended their points scoring streaks to 26 and 39 games, respectively. Ford closed out the scoring in the first half with an unassisted goal after dodging two players for a 6-1 halftime lead. Hofstra outshot the Hawks, 16-7 in the first half.
The Pride added three more in the third quarter and two more in the fourth to boost the lead to 11-1 midway through the final period. Ford scored his seventh goal of the year to start the scoring in the second half just 1:53 into the third quarter. Card tallied his second of the game and 21st of the season, from Lincoln, almost two minutes later and Lincoln scored from Braddish to make it a 9-1 game after three quarters. Brad Loizeaux scored his fifth
of the season from Braddish 2:39 into the fourth quarter and Card notched his third, on the man-up, almost five minutes later to end the run.
Mahoney scored a man-up goal, from Cullinan, with 4:30 to play for the Hawks and Kyle Williams added an all-even goal with 33 seconds to play to close out the scoring. Hofstra outshot the Hawks, 35-20 and picked up 29 ground balls to St. Joe's 19.
The Pride return to action next Saturday, April 16 when they travel to Connecticut to face the Stags of Fairfield at 1 p.m.

My most popular blog of 2012 wasn't written by me … but I guess you might have expected this if you've already read a few. That blog's author, an end-user (or is that a customer of an internal IT organization), now returns to look at the IT service desk through a customer and customer experience lens. I'll let them continue in their own words …
So how is your customer experience?
It's never been more important to build strong customer relationships (regardless of what type of service you're offering). Long gone are the days when the customer purchasing path was straight-forward, and when the only route of post-sales contact was the phone. In 2013, we need to be proactive and embrace consumer-driven change, harnessing the power of new technologies as well as improving older methods of contact.
Whether your interactions with customers are face-to-face, via the internet including social media, or over the phone; and whether they involve physical or virtual products; they now need to generate a good "experience" for customers. In the age of the "empowered customer" failure to manage these "experiences" can lead to missed opportunities and/or customer loss. And not just with the affected customer(s).
So what is "customer experience" and could it apply to IT service desks?
Forrester's definition is simple: "How customers perceive their interactions with your company." So for an IT service desk, could it be: "How end users perceive their interactions with your service desk"? And if so, how do you deliver this increasingly critical "customer experience"?

While attempting to clear my desk before the Christmas break I stumbled upon a bright-pink USB memory stick that contained the collected presentations from the 2009 itSMF UK annual conference. Having satisfied my curiosity as to the size of the memory stick (I'd forgotten that USB sticks were ever that small), I then wondered:

"But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.'"
I first heard that Christmas proclamation as a child but remember having serious doubts about the great joy of Christmas by the time I had reached junior high. Even though joy was a dominant theme of the season, it always seemed elusive. I just did not get it because I did not understand the difference between joy and happiness.
Believing the angelic message was universal happiness I liked the idea, but happiness was not a major part of my early Christmases. Due to poverty and poor education, my parents were not able to provide the gifts and trappings of Christmas that I saw evident in other homes. Even though appreciating my parents' effort, I still did not understand why some people's Christmases were filled with more joy than mine.
The angel had said great joy for all the people. Wasn't I a part of all the people?
I was equally aware that I was not alone in experiencing a scaled down Christmas. Because of sickness, alcoholism and divorce, some of my classmates' families had even worse experiences than I did. All of which left me even more skeptical of the great joy of Christmas.
Later I understood that I had confused happiness with joy. Initially, the shepherds responded to the angel with great fear presuming that maybe judgment awaited them. After assuring them to not be afraid, the angel did not proclaim a wave of happy circumstances for all people.
The angel proclaimed that God's presence was no longer locked in a box behind a veil, no longer restricted to just one people, but was open and available to all. In fact, God was in a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes.
After their visit to Bethlehem, the shepherds returned to their same primitive circumstances. Their social positions, health or wealth were not improved after the events of that night, but they had heard and seen the good news of great joy, and they were never the same.
Once I better understood the joy of God's presence and grace, I was amazed at how joyous the Christmas season had become.
One example was the Christmas of 1988 when my family experienced Christmas with great tears because of the death of my wife's mother. Yet, through our tears, we could not have imagined a better way for her to depart this world than in a season surrounded by the message that God is always with us. Great tears did not prevent the reality of great joy.
Through time, I have come to realize that all my Christmases, even the early ones, were never lacking God's presence and grace. He had been there in those Christmases in simple and powerful ways.
Joy is truly available for all people, even people like you and me.

Wow, those are some great pix ! Very clear & sharp. Nice optics too.
Went to the third show in three weeks today. Finally, someone had the gun I was looking for: the Steyr M40-A1. Price was marked at $469. CDNN has them for $350 (he had one of their catalogs right there). I tried to use this as a bargaining tool but the owner was a real jerk. I didn't expect him to drop the price to $350 because I know that's not what I would pay for it, but with CDNN I would be at or near $400 after all said and done. Even at $20 or $30 more it would have been worth it not to go through the hassle of ordering.
He then went on to "explain" to me about having to pay shipping fee (CDNN = $10 shipping anything), FFL fee ($20 for me) and tax (I am not in the same state as CDNN so null there), which I would have had to pay him anyway so not what what his point was with the tax. Anyway, he didn't even let me finish my sentence and said, "Well, just buy it from them then." and took it from me - as I was holding it at the time. Guess some sellers don't like it when potential customers are actually educated and are unable to be pushed around. Oh well, f' him. So close, yet so far.
Soooo... I think I am going to try and order one in the near future. Hope it's not a pain, for I have never done it before. I think I read somewhere once they're all gone, they're all gone...?
I held a new HK P30. It felt pretty good and the "spiderman" grips weren't bad. It bulged a bit in the middle of the grips and comes with different back-straps. A little thinner than I would like, but I could get used to it. $800.
Did make a couple purchases. Got some optics for the AR.
1) A red/ green dot guy plus riser for closer range stuff:
2) A 3x9 sniper style reticle that displays black as a 'regular' scope and also lights up red. This is mounted on top of the carry handle so I can use it for far away and still use my irons for close up if necessary.
Hopefully, once I get them sighted in, I can just swap them on and off and they'll stay sighted.
Anyway, that's my jibberish for the day.
Wow, those are some great pix ! Very clear & sharp. Nice optics too.
Sure looks good to me. Good luck with it.
Spartan: I've done a lot of business with CDNN. Great people to do business with. Just have your FFL fax them his license (if they don't already have it) and your good to go. $360 to CDNN, $20 to your FFL, and you'll have it in a few days. Very easy process, and $380 total is a sweet price!

What if one day, the scientist manage to transplant whole body parts of a person to anther person(s)'s body? Will the person, whose all body parts are removed, still be alive (conscious)? According to Buddhism, when the person is considered dead? Is it possible to share one body by two people (not siamese twins)?
I raised this question based on my present understanding of the following.
- Consciousness is arising with the body. So if the body is not fully disintegrated the consciousness still will be there.
- Seat of consciousness is in every part of the body
- Death according to Buddhism means the biological death
- Body parts are removed after the clinical death but before biological death
- There is no person but the consciousness keep on flowing. The body is conscious but it is not my consciousness.

Learn how to properly manipulate frames. Pull from the outside, check, set aside. Now you have room to work the inside frames inside or OVER THE TOP OF THE OPEN HIVE BOX. Rolling the queen is very possible. Identifying the queen on EVERY visit isn't necessary, but until you know how to easily identify a queen bee...assume that she is/could be on every frame INCLUDING the cover. It's a hive and not an aquarium, but don't be fearful of inspecting. For me, I don't crack a hive unless I have a clear objective in mind first. Don't know if this is true or not, but I use it as a rule of thumb...vigorous inspections set the hive back at least 3 days. I also got it into my mind early that, with all else seemingly normal, finding eggs and brood was good enough. Lots can be learned from observing the entrances alone and having multiple hives to compare/contrast is best.BIGGEST DO....ENJOY YOUR B'S ;)my .02i'm not sure about setting the hive back by going through it. i would think that may be true depending on the nature of the bees. bees that run on the frame a lot might very well be stressed by a thorough inspection where as bees that require little or no smoke and continue about their business as you go through the hive may not be set back at all. I don't like bees that run but my strongest hive is my hottest hive and the bees are very jittery. they use a lot of propolis and i never see more than one or two beetles in the hive when i go through it so i may learn to live with it they may become the breeding stock for the queens in all my splits this spring.i definitely think you should get two hives or more. i think you should either start out with double deeps or all mediums if you are starting with packages and foundation.start talking to some local beekeepers now. see if a couple of them will let you watch as they inspect a few of their hives. see if the successful guys have a common source for queens.don't over treat (or don't treat at all if you can accept now that you will lose some colonies each fall and winter). don't over harvest.read, ask questions and have fun. you are going to find it hard not to go through the hives every other day at first since you've never done it before. consider getting an observation hive at the same time so you can watch it and then during periodic checks see that the same things are happening in your hives.again, have fun and don't get too frustrated if you lose hives or have a couple of swarms the first couple of years. if it was simple everybody would be a beekeeper.
"There are a few rules of thumb that are useful guides. One is that when you are confronted with some problem in the apiary and you do not know what to do, then do nothing. Matters are seldom made worse by doing nothing and are often made much worse by inept intervention." --The How-To-Do-It book of Beekeeping, Richard Taylor
1) Understand that no matter who says it, that buying one particular hive, placing your bees on one type of comb, or buying a particular queen, will not keep you from having problems.2) Everyone is an expert. Everyone has a blog. Everyone promotes their own ideology. You WILL probably be more confused after one year of beekeeping, and reading every blog, watching every bee video, and reading every forum. 3) There are really good beekeepers on forums. And some not so good. It is your job to find out which is which, since nobody else can point the difference out to you. Everyone can agree, but saying someone is wrong, is usually frowned upon. So understand that even bad advice gets it's due. Since everyone is P.C. nowadays, the next four items will prove this point. 4) All beekeeping is NOT local. Good advice is good advice. And bad advice is bad advice, no matter where you live or where the other beekeeper lives.5) Understand and guard against those that say "What works for one person may not work for the next" in attempts to suggest that each and every beekeeper has valid points, or even knows what they are talking about. You do NOT need to try each and every thing out there in attempts to find what works and what does not work. These type comments usually come from those that know not what they say.6) Do not think that "treatment free" or "hands off" is a good option for beekeeping. It usually just translates into dead hives. Strive to be "chemical free" and learn to be a better beekeeper by inspecting your hives in a less stressful manner. But never think that you as the beekeeper will be a detriment to your bees. You need to stay on top of things to learn, and help your bees when help is needed.7) Guard against those that say "When confronted with a problem in the apiary and you do not know what to do, then do nothing". If you do not know what to do, then ask someone. If confronted with a problem, means you know something is wrong. Then do something. It usually should be a reason for action. Ask another beekeeper for assistance. Find out the answer to your questions, and find out how to deal with issues. Saying you lost a hive, while looking back and stating you knew there was a problem, but did nothing in hopes that they could deal with it, is not a good thing. Bees are very forgiving, even to poor beekeepers. There is not much you can do that the bees can not overcome, short of killing the queen, and even then they know what to do.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|While I am normaly a chevy guy Im a fan of the 385 series ford. I like to know as much as I can about ford and chevy engines and from what I can tell the bbf seem to have an advantage over the bbc. I have heard way too many stories about bbc having weak bottom ends, that and my friends seem to call me to come pull them out when their blazers and chevy pickups get stuck. My bronco seems to hold its own with no drivetrain mods so far and only a 429 and matching c6 throwin in. Now since I blew up the c6 Im goning with an NP 435 to a NP205 with a ford 9 in the rear and hopefully by summer next year a solid front axle in the front. So far I have a basicly stock 73 429 with a comp cams extreme 4x4 cam and a weiand stealth intake with a holley 750 vac secondary carb. Since I was going thru chassis fab here at wyotech I decided to do something usefull with a spare set of D3VE heads and ported them . I picked up around 20 cfm on the exh side and I am thinking of putting them on my 429 im running now. I also have a set of C9ve heads but with the cam I have I think that would up my compression too much. I picked up a later 70's 460 distributor so I could get rid of points etc and Now im just thinking of what I could do to get more power. thanks for the input.
|Rick WI
Hey Andy, small world. If your from Madison then you know Dave Meister. If not Dave then you know the car I suspect, 70 Torino in primer that used to hang on East Wash until this last engine went in?
I'd love to run an GL but I can't get through tech due to no cage, I'd make one run and they'ed boot me off. I go down to Byron for that reason. One of these weeks though I want to go to GL on Thursday night for grudge night and make some coin. they turn the timing lights off so everything is legit. It's supposed to be a hoot.
you'll have to stop by the shop sometime after work and check things out. We are on 151 betwen Columbus and Sun Prarie on Hwy V. Same exit as Columbus Speedway. We're right on the corner there, JRC Enterprises. Dave is the engine assembler and would love to have another Ford friend to talk with. He's always surrounded by us Chevy guys.
if your going on Power Tour your more than welcome to tag with us. We are going as far down as Nashville and then turning back. Unless we blow up prior to that point. Should be a fantastic tour this year. We are leaving for Milwaukee Saturday from the shop. Dave was going to go as well with his Mustang but has an NMCA race that weekend.
By your email you must work at the U?
I'll stay in touch.
Just a kiddin'
No hard feelings for the Chevy/Ford camps, OK? Just like to poke a little fun, I'm just jealous of cheap Chevy parts compared to my pricey Ford and Olds crap :~)
Anyways, I agree with RickWI. He knows what he is talking about, and both the CJ and Blue thunder heads flow awesome as well as dumping some serious weight. You need almost all the head you can get with 532 cubes.
RickWI, I see you are located in Madison, WI, same as myself. I'll be heading to the GLD this spring to wring out my '78 Mont and '72 442. If ya ever want to chat engines or catch a couple beers just toss me an email at email@example.com and I'll get your contact info.
385 series
I would never buy std bore pistons. where will you find another std bore block if something goes wrong. and the myth that you can only bore.060 on a 385 series. I ran a .060 with a stroker crank and had no problems. when that block cracked in the main webs I had pistons that would fit another block. just a thought.
|Rick WI
We run a 525 BBF with a 4.5 bore, 4.125 stroke and a 1.5 rod ratio in NMCA Extreme Street. If it works fine to the tune of low 8's shifting at 7500 RPM.
Your just fine and you will enjoy the power. If you can find a set of used Blue Thunder heads that would be a nice upgrade for you. Much better than stock and when fully flogged on the bench will flow 393 CFM on the intakes. A used set of Cobra Jet heads would be a nice upgrade as well.
chevy has always been cheaper dollar for dollar
and yes i'm a chevy lover, but that dosn't mean i hate ford i just don't like 'em
infact everybody should have one or two in there yard so the pigeons would have something to sit on
nothing personal Jared, I'm just busting your guy'ses balls
good luck
Very possible
I would recommend checking this forum and asking for help.
It is arguably the most informative set of guys on the whole internet about the 385-series Ford motors. They will help you out.
Don't let Chevy guys tell you a ford will blow up. One guy on the forum has an UN-REBUILT 460 with 464K on it. I personally have owned Fords, Chevy's and Mopars and none is better than the other.
If you shop around you can build a BBF for just as cheap as your average small block.
Generally, nothing against the folks on this board, but most of the time are Ford-haters and useless for most tech info.
About your original question, yes you can find off-the shelf stroker kits for a 429/460 for $1100+ depending on what componentry you want. They make great truck motors and pump out more torque than any small block ever could. Basic canted valve head design is excellent too.
For heads, try and find a set of DOVE-C's. They are the best combination of chamber size, flow, and performance for the money. Also benefit well from home porting.
have an idea
you really want tha FORD to move down the road instead of sitting on the side of it ?
well this is what you do
drop a sbc 400 in it
guranteed it will move then.just hope the body parts don't blow off of it as your burning out down the road
|I do have a 460 (and 2 429s for that matter) and while i do think it would have quite a bit of power with the c9's i have compared to the d3's its running id rather buy a new setup for the price they want for 385 parts. The way im seeing it I need new pistons to get away from the stock cast ones and the crank may need to be ground/polished etc plus all bearings, resizing the rods etc I might as well spend 3 grand and know exactly what i have. I do like the way the 429 revs and it works great for keeping my wheel speed when im in deep snow but Id like to build something bigger and different. At this point im just looking into my options, though so far the 501 looks the best for the rod ratio and stroke. How good is piston availability for the stroke? If i ever want to overbore would i find a piston made for that bore and stroke fairly easily? thanks
|Max Keith
stroker motor
As for rod/stroke angularity, a 1.58 ratio isnt bad at all, since the desired is at least 1.5:1. Consider the Big Block Chevies which have rod stroke ratios somewhere around 1.48 or so, stock, less than the supposed magical 1.5. You have nothing to fear with a 1.58 ratio.
I dont recommend boring your block anymore than you absolutely have to, and I am sure that there are stroker kits that accomodate your stock bore, if your cylinders are in that good of shape. At any rate, the most you can safely go is .060" overbore.
If just getting more cubes is your thing, and you arent concerned about building Godzilla blocks, you might just consider dropping a 460 cranks, rods, and pistons in your 429's. The 460's have a rod/stroke ratio somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.7:1 or higher.
Unless you are planning to do some serious mudbogging or pulling with your Bronco, I think you will find that the 460, itself will have more than adiquate torque to rip the tread off your tires.
With the C-9 heads etc, you will be wanting to build a stump puller anyway, rather than a high revving engine.
Nothin? come on someone on here has to know something about strokers.
Ford 532 stroker
Im looking into stroker ideas for my 385 series engines and someday i want to get some more inches out of the 2 429s i have i was looking into the options i have and it seems most share the 4.3 in stroke so any way i go the rod ratio seems to come out to 1.58 which doesnt thrill me but its livable i guess. should i start out with a smaller bore stroker set up incase i need to bore it then i could just get pistons from a larger stroker with the same stroke? or should i just find one with a shorter throw crank so i have a better ratio? how would a ratio like that feel? does any one have a stroker like this or an engine with a ratio like this? im thinking 10:1 compression forged pistons, h beam rods, c9ve heads with port work and large valves and a bigger cam. looking for a hi torque engine for my bronco. thanks for the help.

Cycling accident
Newfields rallies around longtime community activist
By GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent | October 27. 2013 7:33PM
Simon Heslop of Newfields, left, a TTR Steering committee member, Matt Bennett, right, a Newfields Elementary School teacher, and Mark Whitney, of Newfields, rear with Steve Shope , center, at the Exeter Lions Club 5K Walk-a-thon in Newfields on Aug. 22. (Courtesy)
A color guard from the Colebrook Fire Department leads a procession of firefighters into the Colebrook Elementary School parking lot prior to Sunday's funeral service for Colebrook native and Barnstead Fire & Rescue Lieutenant Jacob Weber, held inside the school gym. The 30-year-old resided in Underhill, Vt., where he served as a volunteer firefighter as well. He started as an Explorer and later a firefighter in Colebrook, joining the Barnstead department after graduation from NHTI with a degree in fire science and investigation. Several fire departments and fire professionals collaborated to hold the weekend of services for their fallen brother, including honor guards during visitation on Saturday, providing the ceremonies on Sunday, assisting the family and covering Colebrook's station throughout. (Courtesy of The News and Sentinel, Colebrook)
He serves as a volunteer firefighter, sits on the town's conservation commission and often attended school functions with his two children as they were growing up.
But in April, a freak bicycling accident changed his life forever. On a trail in Exeter he had ridden many times before, a series of unfortunate events sent him over his handlebars and onto his head.
It has only been six months since the accident, and it is still difficult to talk about as Shope adjusts to days full of physical and occupational therapy. He's unable to do most things by himself.
Trail to Recovery Fund
Almost immediately after Shope was injured, friends in the cycling community created the Trail to Recovery Fund to help Shope and his family deal with the astronomical expenses associated with a spinal injury.
Shope runs a small business, Exeter Environmental, with his wife, Julie, and is self-insured. He said his insurance has been great, but there are things it will not pay for, including continuing physical therapies and some types of equipment that are crucial to his recovery.Newfields resident Kelly McGowan said members of the community rallied before Shope even came home, renovating his home to make it more accessible, mowing the lawn and bringing meals for the family.
"Steve has touched a lot of people … but it also speaks to the community of people responding with their time and effort and donations," McElwee said.
Shope said at first it was not easy to accept help of any kind.
"At first I had trouble with it. I like to do things myself and be independent. It was difficult for me," Shope said. "Obviously I've changed my position on that because I can't do anything on my own, so I have learned to accept help, and having all my friends around is really what gets me through the day."
Recovery gala Nov. 8
Shope will have a chance to personally thank a broader group of supporters during the Steve Shope Trail to Recovery Fund Gala & Live Auction event being held Nov. 8 at the Sheraton Harborside Hotel in Portsmouth.
McGowan said everyone can take something away from the Trail to Recovery Fund effort and Shope's story.

DxOMark review for the Phase One P45+Tuesday February 03 2009 Sensor Review
With a DxOMark Sensor score of 77.2 points, the Phase One P45 achieves a remarkable result with respect to its design.
As with all cameras of this type, particular attention should be paid to results for Color Depth (24.2; average for 4 medium format cameras = 24.1) and Dynamic Range (12.9, average = 12.4).(see "Medium-format camera ranking with respect to the DxOMark Sensor Scale").
Key sensor characteristics
The Phase One P45+ features a very high resolution medium-format CCD with 39.45 Mpix and a 16-bit Analog/Digital (A/D) converter. ISO latitude ranges from ISO 50 to ISO 800, but measurements show that the only two first ISO values (50 and 100) are real, a digital gain is applied during RAW conversion from ISO 200 to ISO 800.
Key performance factors
The Phase One P45+ shows excellent dynamic range and very good color sensitivity. With respect to its launch date, this result is quite good—only the newer high-end DSLRs show comparable results.
Per above, Color Depth is 24.2 bits in print mode. The result is lower in screen mode with a value of 20.8 bits, which means that noise can be observed even at ISO 50 on a larger print (with the same dpi) than the DxOMark reference print (12" x 8" print on a 300-dpi printer). Dynamic Range remains at a very acceptable level in screen mode.
Another key measurement is ISO Sensitivity. As described above, only the values for the lowest two ISO settings (50 and 100) are real; the other ISO values are achieved by applying a digital gain during RAW conversion. Curves and results for "non-real" ISO are extrapolated and shown with dotted lines on dxomark.com, and the Low-Light ISO value is computed from the extrapolated lines.
The Phase One P45+ RAW image quality performance results remain quite good today. Even though some high-end DSLRs are closing the gap in terms of pixel performance, the P45+ very high resolution capability keeps this camera among the few options available for very large size and high-quality professional print photography.
Disclaimer: This dxomark review evaluates only the selected camera's RAW sensor performance metrics (i.e., Color Depth, Dynamic Range, and Low-Light ISO), and should not be construed as a review of the camera's overall performance, as it does not address such other important criteria as image signal processing, mechanical robustness, ease of use, flexibility, optics, value for money, etc. While RAW sensor performance is critically important, it is not the only factor that should be taken into consideration when choosing a digital camera.
Further readings for the DxOMark review for the Phase One P45+
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Professional portrait and landscape photographers often use medium-format cameras because of their superb performance under controlled lighting conditions. However, as these cameras are definitely not designed for so-called "action photography" scenarios, they generally do not perform well with respect to DxO Labs' Low-Light ISO metric. Because of this inherent low-light limitation, medium-format cameras do not receive top marks on the DxOMark Sensor Overall Score, even though they may show outstanding performance with respect to Color Depth or Dynamic Range.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Want to send a thank you and a shout out to those who donated to get the Minibook Exchange going. I had even purchased some books from people to get some stock. I attended Cyphacon last weekend and ALL of the books were taken by interested readers. If I can get to more conventions, then that portion of the Minibook Exchange will certainly be an advertising success for zine and comix makers trying to get the word out.
And my zine library list has gotten quite long. Goodness…Continue

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Review: 2012 Union Atlas
2012 Union Atlas Binding Review
Rider Stats: 5'8, 185lbs, size 8.5 Ride FUL's, Yes GBoH 155, all mountain freestyle.
Having loved my Flites, and hating some Cartels I picked up, I went and picked up some Atlas' to pair with my Yes GBoH. Setup up was very easy, since its the same basic design as the flites, so I just mirrored my settings on those. Also a very good looking binding.
The Good:
-Very responsive. The biggest problem I had with the Cartels was the lack of response. Not so with these, toeside and heelside response were excellent.
-Extremely comfy. The heel strap is great, and the toecap is a big improvement over the ones on my flites.
-The flex is a great match with my GBoH, being on the softer side of medium. Allows me to butter around when I want to, but still have enough support when I'm hard charging runs.
-Adjustability. I would have to say that the Cartels were too adjustable, just too many micro adjustments that you could make for my taste. These however, have just a few settings, that are effective and are very easy to setup.
-Shock absorption. These have excellent shock absorbeion, I don't worry at all doing drops at all.
The Bad:
-Unions seem to have a problem with buckle release, and these are no exception. Its not a huge inconvenience, but I do wish they loosen up a bit easier at the end of run, especially the toe straps.
The Ugly:
-I think its just a defect with my binding, but my front binding's highback angle adjuster pops loose a few times a day. I ride with no forward lean, so it doesn't effect performance, but its still a pain in the ass to deal with when it happens. If I did ride with some forward lean, this probably would be very inconvenient. That said, it only happens on my front binding, so I think it's just a defect and I'll prob contact Union about it to see if I can get it replaced.
Final Thoughts:
These bindings are great for a medium to medium soft all mountain freestyle board. I would say that they are flexible enough that if you like stiffer bindings in the park, you would be happy with these as well. I'd give it 4.5/5 stars, and would def recommend them.
