|Topic Review (Newest First)
I just got my capo's today and can't wait to try them. The ankle strap looks way more comfy than my old deltas. Cant try them for a while tho had so much rain lately everything close closed till Monday.
Ride does admit the rubber on the toe can be cut or ripped easily and says to take care throwing them in and out of trunks and with other boards. Another boards edge can cut it. They also say it shouldn't effect the hold of the strap. Ride customer service has always been good in my experience and with it happening so quickly i suspect they would probably replace it without any hassle.
Again it isn't a huge deal, the toe strap is still perfectly function but... if others were to break seeing as this had about 6 days when it happened, then it would render it kinda useless. I feel like they should have been held on with a harder plastic cuff around them or something.
|I did a impulse buy on the new Capo's as well to pair up with my SL (rather then the Cartels). I hope to get them in this week if UPS didn't lose the damn package. Your comments regarding the toe strap worry me. Want to show some pictures? I really liked how the capo's paired up with the aura's I have which is why I went for them. Took the gamble on new gear :<
2011 Ride DH2 and 2012 Ride Capo reviews...
First off let's start with the 2011 Ride DH2 board... my first impression was "this thing loves speed!". The flat base made it super stable bombing runs. Rarely were there people going past me on the mountain, this thing just gave a ton of confidence going fast where there were times I wanted to just see how fast I could go down a run. Now it has micro rocker in the tips which honestly is barely any at all. We all know rocker gives that catch free feel, well this is MICRO rocker and don't let the rocker word fool you that it will be catch free. It rides almost like a camber board but more stable feeling IMO. The board is rated at a 7 level of flex, 10 being the stiffest. It has plenty of flex to be fun but is definitely rigid when cruising. They say the board was designed to be a massive jump taker, I couldn't comment on that because I'm not nearly good enough to hit the jumps people throw double corks off of. The jumps I did pop off of though the landing always felt like I really stomped it and was solid.
Overall I would say the board is a speed demon with lots of confidence. It slices through the chop and holds steady pretty damn good. I think it might not be playful enough for someone looking to do rails or even learning tricks off jumps because it will catch the edge if you let it. I think I could say it is a perfect board if it had a little more rocker but that's my opinion.
Now onto the brand new 2012 Ride Capo bindings... setting them up was pretty easy. Me having a bigger foot even with some wide boards I would get toe drag. There are so many fine tuning adjustments on these that I have it dead centered where the toes hit at the angle the heels hit. They are comfortable bindings and straps but I will say that the Ride toe grip system may not be the most durable. With about 6 days riding the top part of the webbing had snapped or looked slashed. It didn't effect how they fit or anything but it makes me wonder if they would last a full season without eventually being all torn up. I believe Ride replaces them free of charge though so I'm not too concerned. The buckles/ratchet system worked smooth but the one day I had some snow jammed up in there that kept loosening the strap on it's own, once it melted it was fine and held tight. I'm not sure if other bindings have had this happen or not.
Overall the bindings on the other hand I can't really say they are worth the $260. Yes they are comfortable and allowed me to setup so I wouldn't encounter heel or toe drag but they are pricey and I think I could have gotten away with something cheaper. I was impressed though that after 10 days of riding not a single screw needed to be tightened and they held solid. I think a longer term test might really be needed to justify the serious expense. They market it as a tool less adjustment straps, which yes is nice, BUT I'm pretty sure most of us set our boots into the bindings at home and make every adjustment we can before hitting the mountain.

Told chronologically through the compelling stories of individual lives that, linked together, provide a complete picture of the American woman's experience, America's Women is both a great read and a landmark work of history.
©2003 Gail Collins; (P)2003 HarperCollinsPublishers
"Collins...not only expertly chronicles what women have done since arriving in the New World, but how they did it and why. Creating a compelling social history...Collins's work is a fully accessible, and thoroughly enjoyable, primer of how American women have not only survived but thrived." (Publishers Weekly)
"In a vibrant history...as vast and varied as the nation itself, Collins elegantly and eruditely celebrates...a captivating array of influential women." (Booklist)
"Jane Alexander reads this all-encompassing history of American women with just the right amount of humor, indignation, wonder, and disbelief....Alexander is a good match for Collins's style, lending an even pace, great warmth, and a slightly scholarly voice to the history." (AudioFile)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Not all there"
I bought this book to go along with the print version that I have for a Women's History class that I was taking but it is only about half the book. All most every chapter is missing at least half the content compared to the print version. I would not recommend this just buy the printed one you miss to many stories.
"Slow going but interesting"
The subject matter is interesting to me, but I found it slow to hook the reader. I am learning a tremendous amount and enjoy it each time I listen, but I am not longing for the opportunity to keep my headphones in an extra 10 minutes as I am with some of my other choices. So much of this early history of women in America is relevant and I wish more of it would have made it into the history books I read as a teenager. I am sticking with this book because I think it is worth it.
"Gives me perspective"
I've been listening to a lot of books on relationships and marriage. But I had apparently been looking for something, (without knowing that I was) and wasn't finding it the relationship books. But I found it in the feminist books. And that is perspective. Why our relationships have so many dysfunctions. Why are women so often co-dependent. Why are there so many unrealistic expectations placed on women in relationships. None of these questions were answered by marriage and relationship books, within a broader historical context, even though many of those books were useful in their own ways and filled with good info and good advice, regarding how to simply make it work, despite the difference. But I need a lot more than that. I need to know why is it like that. Then there are questions of women in society. Why do women not value their work as much as men do. Why do we put up with so much abuse and discrimination, still. And why do we get paid less for the same work then men. Only feminist books, so far, have answered these questions with a level of clarity and intelligence that I need to satisfy my genuine need to know the truth.This book paints a retrospect of many pictures and short stories about women's lives in the US, since the first European woman arrived on the mayflower. (The book doesn't talk about the prehistory in the Americas, though mentions the Native American women a little bit.) I found the book very interesting, and easy to read. It adds to the overall pool of information I'm collecting about women's genuine experiences, and personal histories.
The complete UNABRIDGED version.
There is nothing disapointing; the book itself is very long, and the left out basically all of it in the audio version!
I am currently taking AP-US history. I have been reading chapters from this book that go along with the lessons I am learning in class. It is very helpful. HOWEVER, this audio version is not complete at all, and i was dissapointed that I had bought something that I had already read. It includes the first 6 chapters, not the rest. DISAPOINTING. I will not be using this website again.
"Great Listen"
This book should be required reading in HS - maybe earlier. Thoroughly researched stories, well written and well narrated - golden nuggets of history.
A good companion book to Cokie Roberts' "Ladies of Liberty" and "Founding Mothers
A wonderful, fun-to-read overview of women in American history. One of the best books I've listened to and I've listened to a lot. It helped me to choose other women's lives I'd like to read more about. The sad thing is there often aren't the books (at least on audible) which will give me an indepth look at Katie Stanton, Alice Paul or Eleanor Roosevelt--only children's books for these women's lives. I don't know if the books aren't out there or if I just can't find them here. But I digress, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and enjoyed the reader's voice very much.
"Loved it"
Interesting, funny, and insightful. I just wish it wasn't abridged. I will likely buy the print copy to use as reference.
"This is an abridged version"
This book is required reading for a history class I'm taking. I didn't realize until after buying this that it's an abridged version. It isn't clear about that. The narration and the book themselves are good but this audiobook is incomplete (guessing at least 1/2). If that matters to you I would not get this. Fortunately for me Audible let me return this title and choose another.
"Not Complete"
This audiobook skips over sections/chapters of the book and is not complete. Not worth the listen in my case.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Jun 25, 2009.
Guys, don't expect Daye to put on a Pistons uniform. I doubt he stays.
I think he will be traded to after July 1st. I hope they are talking to Houston for Battier, hell throw in Mcgrady if you want to as long as we get Battier.
Man, can the guy start eating a bunch of cake or something.
Wow, Austin really is thin! Nearly a foot taller than me, and he only weighs about 15 pounds more. Living in Washington, I have seen about a dozen Gonzaga games over the last two seasons. Austin Daye is a very skilled player. Is he too skinny for the NBA? Maybe. I watched Kevin Durant play the last season for the Sonics, and he looked pretty frail also. Seriously, KD made Tayshaun look like a burly man. I have no idea if Austin will work out for the Pistons, but I am willing to wait and see.
To me Durant looks better built than Tay...not to mention more aggressive.
Maybe now, but certainly not his first few months in the NBA. Skinny, skinny, skinny, with very poor shot selection. He got better very fast though. No argument about the aggressive. Although, I think there would have been some serious complaining about that aggressiveness early on. Hopefully, Daye will continue his good shooting and put some weight on quick.
Check out this statistical analysis that proves Daye > Clark. HOOPSANALYST If I was this bad a few weeks ago as a pessimist, then I apologize. Holy crap. It's like you guys think Joe could have gotten a future HoF'er at 15. ANYONE can put weight on. ANYONE. And if he gets slower, then so what? He plays PF then. He's long as heck, and that makes up for some of that lack of athleticism.
We forgive you.
I will take skill level over body type any time. It is easier to put on some weight than learn to shoot.
For all the knocks people are sending at him, I haven't heard anyone say who Joe should have picked. If the current report on him was better than it is we never would have been able to draft him. If Joe was serious about rebuilding through the draft, he would have traded up to get a top 5 pick. You can't tell me a package of Tay and somebody wouldn't have been better than Miller/Foye for the Wiz. Joe wants to rebuild via FA and if he can find a hidden gem at 15 thats a bonus. Seems to me Daye is one of those guys that reporters like to easily dismiss because of his height/weight. If they aren't built like LeBron and can't sprint whatever in however many seconds they are automatically a bust. The unique guys that don't fit the mold are brushed aside and classed 'projects'. I like that everyone is underestimating him. I'm prepared to give this kid a chance. I'm under no illusions that he will become a starter in the next 2 years. That's what Joe is saving all this cap space for. You don't always need 5 guys on the floor who play excellent defense either when people say he is too slow to guard 3's and too weak to guard 4's. Usually the other team doesn't have 5 guys who play excellent offense either. In a now offensive league, those who are looking for Joe to rebuild the 04 Pistons will be disappointed for a long time to come. Personally, I think he could play the 3. If he shoots as well as they say I wouldn't mind having a Peja-lite guy out there who can spread the floor and create mismatches for US for a change.
Hey Webz. I hear you man. I think Joe's reasoning behind drafting Daye is sound. He's a taller version of Prince who also it also seems is a natural shooter, both spot up and off the dribble. Ultimately, I think Joe feels Daye has a higher ceiling than Prince. Not bad grounds for drafting him. My comments regarding him being a tweener and being too slow and not strong enough to guard a position were qualified by "at the moment", and in response to your suggestion that he could play the 2. There's no reason why Daye cannot get both stronger and quicker. Most rookies need to improve in one of those areas, if not both anyway, so you are correct, its not a knock on him that should be taken too seriously. And besides, I recall Prince absolutely killing Artest in the 04 ECFs with his length on the defensive end. That kind of length can compensate for modest levels of lateral quickness (to a point). I do however stand by the fact that a player should evolve into one that can be good at guarding a particular position, lest he get abused by mismatches. No coach will leave Daye on the floor until he can hold his own on D against at least one position. And your argument about people whining and not stating what they would have done? Spot on. A card I play myself when combating the negativity. I feel the Israeli version of Matt Harpring/Nocioni would have been able to come and contribute sooner (he roughed up Daye in a pre-draft workout in a big way apparently). However, we scored the Swedish kid with a much later pick, and he is a player in that mold too. Daye's shooting touch and length does make it seem he has the greater potential in the long run. With the 15th pick, I'm glad Joe swung for the fences for a potential starter down the road , rather than usual result of acquiring a player who's ceilng is 8th/9th guy in the rotation.
Webz, we've warned you before about this "being a voice of reason" stuff.
Very well said webz, I'm on the same boat as you.
Is it a dinghy, or a junker?
Bison Dele needs to know.
James Johnson... he'll take Twiggy's lunch money then come back for seconds. We can't all follow the company line.
Thanks for manning up and picking your alternative. Props for being the first and only one. I wouldn't expect less from you mercury.
wasn't CHeick supposed to put on weight? Or Tay himself? Or AJ? They all remained thin as a rail.
You're right. Shawn Kemp or Tractor Traylor would make a good assistant to Arnie right now. Frozen bananas with whipped cream and chocolate sauce would also do the trick. I'm reminded of the Simpsons episode where Homer tries to gain weight to earn a disability. 'You can brush your teeth with milkshakes!'
Separate names with a comma.

I like the design, would not like to see it disqualified on too many colors.
Pretty, and interesting color scheme.. though the color of the shirt doesn't look like the orange in the templates I have, which is a much paler color. This looks almost red.
Woot shirt colors really confuse me, everyone posts them differently.
Anyway, very pretty design.
One too many posts.
mitchellp wrote:So is this another one of your trees? It looks just like your bouquet of circles in the previous derby--just with some gears added this time. Where's the steam?
Ha, you're obviously not getting it or you just have a poor sense of design. This is obviously not a tree nor is it similar to the previous design.
The only similarity I can see is the fact that the gears and orbs in this design have the same shape as the circles in his previous one. Unless you want to consider all vector/grungy designs to be the same.
And assuming that every design has to make use of steam just because of the steampunk theme is a great misconception.

After seeing a few 'steampunk' pictures, and designs, I started reading it- The Steampunk genre of fiction is the source of this stuff, after all. It is very different than this sort of 'clean' Victorian-inspired, perfect world that we usually see in these designs. Much grittier, much more real than we usuually see. Steampunk devices ought to operate if they are built, and that's what I was trying to express with my design. Of course, that's assuming that the world is populated by wombats!

Now that the Star casino has enlisted a public relations company to allegedly sully the image of those giving evidence against it at the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority's inquiry, it is time for public hearings (''Premier accuses Star of smear campaign against ex-employee'', March 7).
The matters being investigated are of significant public interest and public hearings would add much needed transparency and legitimacy to the whole process.
John de Bres Rose Bay
The Premier stated in regard to leaks surrounding the Star casino ''at worst it confirms what I think most people believe''. I would be careful about thinking what most people believe, Mr Premier, as a lot of the comments surrounding the Star casino have come hot on the heels of a very public display you made in response to James Packer's intentions of building another casino in Sydney on land set aside for public use.
While there is an investigation under way I would have thought it very prudent for a premier to keep his counsel on the matter.
Lyne Dobson Waterview Heights
Our state government is having problems with the current casino. And yet our Premier is agreeable for another one to be built at Barangaroo. I take it you like double trouble, Barry?
Deborah Lloyd New Lambton
I guarantee Jill Stephenson (Letters, March 6) that Barangaroo will be both beautiful and botched, depending on your point of view. It's how we do things in Sydney; just look at the Opera House
Rodney Crute Hunters Hill
Paul Keating (Letters, March 5) muddles the history of Barangaroo's planning.
In 2005-06 the government ran an open international competition for the design of the Barangaroo site - the most important competition in Sydney since the one for the Opera House 50 years before.
The government wrote the brief and selected the jury, who then set out the selection criteria. The jury, of which Keating was a member, unanimously selected our scheme on its merits, out of the 137 schemes submitted. The jury's report praised our scheme as coming ''from local Sydney talent who have a deep understanding of Sydney's urban and natural form. The scheme is grounded in a unique vision for 'completing the western edge of the city'.''
Our scheme made the entire foreshore inalienable public parkland, connected to the body of the city by a network of public streets and public transport. We have since been excluded from planning changes at Barangaroo.
If this disastrous project is completed, all Sydney will want to know who is to blame. The 22-hectare Barangaroo site is entirely public land, our land. We expect the government and its agencies to be the custodians of the public interest.
Will the O'Farrell government stand up on these issues, or is it ''business as usual'' in NSW?
Philip Thalis, Paul Berkemeier and Jane Irwin Surry Hills
An election promise has been undermined
The O'Farrell government has broken its election promises to permanently protect sensitive natural areas of NSW from mining and coal seam gas exploration and extraction (''New rules as miners get access all areas'', March 7).
The government promised balance and protection for farmers and the environment but it has sold out the long-term interests of NSW, failing to declare any land off limits to coal or coal seam gas mining activities.
I strongly support strong legislation that places sensitive natural areas and strategic agricultural land off limits to mining and gas activities and call on the government to honour its election commitment to do this very thing.
Annie Nielsen Winston Hills
The strategic regional land use plans released by the state government are a perfect example of a smoke and mirrors exercise.
Nothing has changed. Land owners across NSW still have to allow mining and gas companies on to their land to put down exploration drill holes. Each new proposal will have to be challenged on its individual impacts. There is nothing strategic about this.
Bev Smiles Wollar
It seems that Barry O'Farrell has adopted the vision ''The Light on the Hill'' - an oil well burning on every hill in NSW.
Robyn Cashman Fernhill
Floods hard slog
The photograph on the front page of the Herald showed the people of Wagga Wagga banding together to protect their town. The accompanying article, however, quoted only two residents, one of whom reckoned the authorities might have exaggerated the threat to gain co-operation (''A knock on the door mobilises a country town'', March 7). The other said
it was a ''disgrace'' that Wagga appeared vulnerable. Both refused to leave their homes when requested.
When the police, emergency workers and volunteers are doing their best, it doesn't really help for their efforts to be undermined.
Minty Smyth Edgecliff
Let's hope Barry O'Farrell was offering more than sympathy as he spoke to Wagga Wagga residents furiously hand-filling sandbags. It's obvious that sandbagging machines given to all SES groups would be much more efficient, perhaps too late for this flood, but certainly for future crises.
Joan Brown Orange
Battlers beware
We can't say Tony Abbott didn't warn us about that great big new tax on everything (''Business sounds alarm over Abbott's parental leave plan'', March 7). The bit he didn't make clear was that it will be an Abbott government that will be bunging on an extra 1.5 per cent company tax to fund his great big paid parental scheme.
He should also make it clear that if you are a battling mum on $30,000 a year, then your baby will be worth $15,000, but if you are a well-off mum on $150,000 a year, then your baby will be worth $75,000.
Both mums, however, will be paying exactly the same 1.5 per cent increase in prices on virtually everything they buy, when the top 3200 companies jack up their prices.
I guess Abbott and his ilk think battling mums deal better with hardship.
David Atherfold Clareville

Hands off heads
I am sick and tired of seeing NRL players gang-tackled and then being given extra attention to the head such as the Chin Strap and the Grapple (''Wrestle Mania IV'', March 7). Any touching of the head should be immediately penalised. The NRL and referees are pathetically soft when it comes to dangerous tackles.
Alastair Browne Cromer Heights
Double standards
It has always been my understanding, John Doran (Letters, March 7), that the reason people have unions is that they can use them to work for the betterment of those they represent.
Why, then, is it not OK for workers to have unions but OK for businessmen and women to have their chambers of commerce and associations with similar titles to represent their interests? A union by another name.
Mary Grocott Orange
The Rail, Tram and Bus Union agrees wholeheartedly that the core business of unions should be to lobby the government of the day and employers in the interest of our members.
For example, train drivers in NSW and across the country are facing the prospect of being forced to pull shifts of well in excess of 12 hours under proposed national rail safety laws. Without the RTBU, who else would be lobbying hard on behalf of workers to stop this dangerous change happening?
But none of this means the movement can ignore its basic political imperatives.
We should never forget the sentiment of the ALP's founders when they said that ''the rule that trade unionism must steer clear of politics was a golden rule, but that time is drawing to an end and we can radically improve the lot of the worker if we secure a substantial representation in Parliament''.
That remains as true today as it was then.
The Australian labour movement, both industrially and politically, is not only still a ''good thing'', it remains a necessary thing.
Bob Nanva National secretary, Rail, Tram and Bus Union
About time
At last some action on bike-riding misbehaviour (''Moore targeted'', March 7). It has taken too long for cyclists to be brought into line and to give the lie to Clover Moore's ''sharing'' mantra.
When Prince Alfred Park was renovated the City of Sydney council had the option to separate pedestrians and cyclists on a new pathway but went for the vastly more dangerous option of allowing speeding, weaving cyclists to ''share'' the path. Even ordinary footpaths have now become ''safe'' for cyclists.
As for running red lights, don't get me started.
Gordon Stevenson Surry Hills
I have been a committed atheist for most of my thinking life, but this decision by the NSW Premier to take Sydney's transport and traffic responsibilities away from Clover Moore has forced me reconsider my position.
David Keegan Rozelle
Inanity rejected
Asylum seekers failing in their initial bid for acceptance as refugees are apparently no longer rejected but are on ''negative pathways'' (''Most asylum seeker rioters turned out to be refugees'', March 7).
Are those whose claims are subsequently accepted on appeal redesignated to ''positive pathways''? The yellow brick road perhaps? More inane corporate-speak that has no place in the public lexicon.
Anne Ackroyd Melba (ACT)
I believe the Immigration Department's data above all else that 88 per cent of asylum seekers who arrive by boat, including those who were rejected initially, have been found to be genuine refugees and now have a visa.
I do not believe Scott Morrison, the Coalition's immigration spokesman, who has been accused by John Menadue, the director of the Centre of Policy Development , as being xenophobic. He also describes Mr Morrison as shameful for suggesting that asylum seekers spread disease.
When will the federal opposition stop muddying the waters and acknowledge that the majority of illegals in Australia arrive at our major airports and not on leaky, overcrowded boats?

Good reason for fear on Netanyahu's watch
As an Australian Jew, I sit and observe in trepidation, as the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, endeavours to drag Barack Obama, kicking and screaming, into bombing the Iranian nuclear facilities (''Fears Obama meeting will not prevent Israeli strike on Iran'', March 7).
The purpose of Iran's reactors is sketchy. The West claimed proof of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. The West was wrong.
Iran has nothing to gain by attacking Israel, nuclear or otherwise. It may well attack, if in retaliation. We do know that to bomb the Iranian reactors is by all accounts an extremely difficult exercise, with no guarantee of the desired results, even if the US assists Israel.
Netanyahu is reputed to have stated he doesn't want to be remembered as the Prime Minister on whose watch Israel was annihilated by Iran. With his present ambitions, he might well be remembered as the Prime Minister responsible for, at best, mass conflict in the Middle East, or at worst, World War III.
If he devoted his energies to making peace with the Palestinians, rather than humiliating them, blockading them, bombing them and building on their land, his legacy may be that a peaceful solution was his doing.
Regrettably, I can't see that happening with him as Prime Minister. There would need to be a change of government in Israel and a swing of opinion, more in line with increasing support there for peace with the Palestinians. I hold my breath.

Libraries are still to lift their game
Two senior librarians took a timid approach in ''Shhh happens, but silence now olden in library'' (March 6): the state librarian of NSW says there is no need to be quiet and the head of the National Library ''is delighted'' if some visitors ''scarcely go near the books''.
Would it pass the laugh test if directors of art galleries, museums, theatres and concert halls told patrons there was no need to look at pictures or exhibits or to silently enjoy plays or music? The negative image of libraries persists 140 years after Melvil Dewey, the man who created the classification scheme, said that librarians were not ''mousers in musty books''.
Diana Wyndham North Sydney
No one reads books anymore; they interact with information. No one wants somewhere quiet to read.
No point in closing the gates as the barbarians are already inside if the man running the State Library thinks a library is a mall. Why bother teaching children to read, just Google it.
Gordon Hodges Ashfield
Hygiene alerts
It appears that most staff in hospitals are not washing their hands enough and a stern warning has been issued for these protocols to be adhered to (''Public hospitals told poor hand hygiene rates won't wash'', March 7).
In a related issue the chief doctor for the London Olympics has decreed that English Olympic competitors should not shake hands with foreign competitors or dignitaries for fear of contracting some dreaded bug which will render them so sick they will be unable to compete in the forthcoming Games.
Raymond Seidler Kings Cross
Pump action
Peter Miniutti (Letters, March 7) falsely believes that the ACCC pulled the oil companies into line re pricing and market control. In fact, what happened was that Shell and Caltex effectively handed over control of petrol retailing/pricing to Coles and Woolworths. Result - market dominance in yet another retailing area.

Make tunnel free
I note that the Cross City Tunnel has a toll while above-ground entry to the Sydney CBD is free. Why not make it the other way round? That would free up some traffic space.

Underclass exists
If Rebecca Wright (Letters, March 7) thinks the class war has been over for years I suggest she attend any local shopping mall. There she will she very poorly paid young Asian women on their knees attending to to corns and bunions of the well-to-do. No doubt their parents are off cleaning houses and offices. For Rebecca and the winners, the war might be over but I am not sure the losers have signed the armistice.

Rein in Rinehart
Mrs Gina Rinehart is entitled to spend her money as she likes - and indeed one could argue that the more she spends, whether on lawyers or otherwise, the better for the rest of us - but can she not see how unedifying is the dispute between her and three of her children, particularly the specious grounds on which a suppression order has been sought (''Rinehart tries again after judge denies gag'', March 7)? Surely this is not the kind of action that our court system was set up for? This spectacle truly shows how ''justice'' is for those with deep pockets.
Mike Phillips Wollstonecraft
Gina, Clive and Twiggy would no doubt agree with the sentiments of Anatole France, the French novelist, who once said: ''The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich and the poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.''

Consider the following scenario: It's a hot summer day and a prospective customer walks into your store to buy an air conditioner. He evaluates several models and then buys one — but not from you. It turns out your competitor located two miles away is offering the same model at a 20% discount. How did he know this? He scanned the product's bar code using the RedLaser app on his iPhone, which displayed several local retailers with lower prices than yours. If he had been willing to wait three days for shipping, he could have purchased the exact same model while standing in your store from an online retailer at a 30% discount.
This type of technology-fueled disruption is affecting all industries, not just retailers. Since the early 1900s, businesses relied on competitive barriers such as manufacturing strength, distribution power, and information mastery. But this is all changing in the age of the customer, where empowered buyers have information at their fingertips to check a price, read a product review, or ask for advice from a friend right from the screen of their smartphone.
To compete in the age of the customer, your business must become customer-obsessed. As Forrester's Josh Bernoff (@jbernoff), SVP of Idea Development and author of Groundswell and Empowered, advocates in his latest research: "The only source of competitive advantage is the one that can survive technology-fueled disruption — an obsession with understanding, delighting, connecting with, and serving customers."

Excellent Co Enzyme for Energy for M.E
Posted by Reviewer3208252 on Oct 06, 2012 | Verified Purchase
I use this product in conjunction with other Co Enzymes and it a fantastic treatment for M.E. NADH is involved in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body's primary intracellular energy source. When NADH is oxidized in cellular energy-producing organelles called mitochondria, it forms water and energy. This energy is preserved as ATP. Every energy-consuming reaction requires ATP, so the more NADH a cell has available, the more energy it can produce. To keep up with the cellular demand for energy, the body continuously synthesizes NADH (a process that involves niacin, a B-complex vitamin). Some believe M.E is nothing more than lack of chemical Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP-cellular energy), which provides power to the body. Chronic infections, stress, and other ailments tend to deplete the chemical. NADH is the chemical that jumpstarts the production of ATP in the body's cells. NADH is known to trigger energy production through ATP generation and is also a great oxidator.

The October 31 issue of the Stars& Stripes carried a letter from a soldier in Iraq who undoubtedly qualifies under the Rush Limbaugh criteria of being a phony soldier. Here is an extract from the column:
"One thing I could see less of in the Stars & Stripes is the column of Ann Coulter, not because she's conservative, but because she writes at the top of her lungs, like a wacky teenager who is ridiculed by the boys for being flat chested, and ugly. Sarcasm becomes her coping mechanism. Her column must cost next to nothing to carry. Why not try carrying George Will or someone like that more often. He's a verbose blowhard, but at least he can write."

Hey guys, my names Gabe Redmond. I'm an owner of a 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis GS. It runs fine and all but I'm 18 years old and all of my friends have really tuned up Import cars. You know, cold air, turbos, exhaust system, the whole nine yards. I want to show them what my American V8's got. I'm going away to basic training/AIT For the national guard for Desiel Mechanics. When I get back I'm going to have some money to spend cause they are paying me to go to training. When I get back I want to try an engine swap on my Grand Marquis. If I can afford it I'd like to put in the new 5.0L Ford that puts out 412hp and 390lb of torque connected to a new manual transmission and rear end. I know it sounds crazy and expensive but I'm willing to drop about 15k on it and I know a few people from college who can help me out with the labor. I guess my main questions are: -what is involved in a Ford Mod Motor swap -what is involved in converting an Automatic to a manual?-what kind of transmissions bolt up to the new 5.0L's?
On your homepage/profile, you'll find links to mustang and ford magazines...they should probably give you all the details. i think you'll need a different fuel system from 1993's to what the new 5.0 will require, but those websites should point you in the right direction. then again, you're going for diesel mechanics...not that a powerstroke is emissions legal in a car, ***consider a P71 cop car suspension upgrade, while you're at all this. limited slip diff will help, and I'm sure some steep gears--this is about 4000lbs you're trying to push around.swapping auto to stick requires the computer, from dashboard to firewall. there's no longer a torque converter to talk to the engine. there will be a different length of driveshaft, it'll need to be balanced. also an aftermarket clutch pedal setup since there is no factory alternative.
Just because you can't do it...doesn't mean its impossible
Gabe welcome to our hobby and to PHR..You have a nice foundation. A real sleeper.Thats really a nice swap. Go to this web-site for books on your intended swap. www.cartechbooks.com This way while your away serving our country you can decide which way you want to go. Don't let those rice burners get ahead.Bob

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by FreshPrince22, Aug 1, 2006.
I agree. But confidence is important, especially with Delfino who sometimes is inconsistent.
Maybe the exposure and recognition that Delfino is getting right now will influence Flip's confidence in him. Too bad all of our bench players can't play in the FIBA games. It is a good showcase. It would have been cool if Cheik Samb would have played for Senegal.
As someone else already pointed out, his situation in the national team is quite similar to the one in Detroit- he's playing behind a very good SG (Ginobili) and a solid SF (Prince) while backing up both spots. So he should see way more time than Murray. He could do a decent job with running the O while RIP and/or Tay rest- especially since Hunter isn't a typical point guard to run plays.
I don't think Murray is very good unless he is starting, and the financial investment in him is not much more than Delfino. It really should come down to "who plays best".
Yes, he is playing SG and some SF. There is another SF who plays some minutes: Walter Herrmann, who is close to signing with the Bobcats.
Today against Turkey in the 1/4 finals... 17 minutes, 14 points (5/8 FG, 2/4 3FG), 8 rebounds, 1 steal I think it's obvious at this point that he'll be well worth the minutes played for the rebounding and defense alone. We're gonna need all we can get with Ben gone.
I think Herrmann mainly played PF along with that bulkowsky guy? Against the turks, Fino mainly played the 2 spot.
He always plays more as a shooting guard with the national team. But sometimes he plays along with Manu Ginobili. Against Turkey I think that didn't happen. Herrmann is a SF, but when young was a PF. But with the NT he always plays as a SF, replacing Nocioni. Maybe he played a couple minutes in the last quarter in the trash minutes. I am not sure, but if he did, it was exceptional. As far as I remember, Wolkowyski and Fernandez were the inside couple in the end of the game. He did post up many times... but he did it while playing the SF spot. EDIT: Just heard the piece of news... its official, Charlotte Bobcats signed Walter Herrmann.
Delfino didn't play well today against Spain. He had a couple of stupid fouls (especially the one when he shoved Gasol and gave him a 3pt play). He also failed to run the offense since Spain is a far better team than Turkey. On the good side, he made one very nice 3 pointer (and missed some in the 4th quarter) and penetrated well but was a little bit unlucky with finishing. He also showed once again what a good rebounder he is.
The final numbers through 9 games: 18.7 minutes, 9 ppg (47% FG, 41.2% 3FG), 5.1 rpg, 1.7 apg, 1.3 spg, 1.5 TOpg looks good to me. He is a beast on the defensive glass for a guard. He led all of the guards in the entire tournament in Rebs per 40 minutes by a mile. Something we REALLY could have used last year
It is such a definite plus when a guard gives his team rebounds. I have no figures to back it up but it just seems that when the Pistons win, their guards had gotten more rebounds than they usually do. Just a feeling.
Just thinking out loud... but how is Carlos gonna play guard with Flip here?... I guess he would be good in situations where Flip is too small to play against bigger SGs (Jackson etc).
Lot of good points in this thread about Delfino, why he should play, why he will not play, and if he does play.....etc... I would like to add, if Delfino plays significant minutes this year it is because Joe D told Flip to play him. What would make us think otherwise??
Did anybody here watch the USA/ Argentina bronze metal game? How did 'Los play?

Ohio's limit wording is kind of confusing. If these are in fact Gadwall can I kill my limit of 6 on them or none at all since they are not specifically listed. And trust me, passing up unknown birds sucks, but for now I am trying to watch them closely as opposed to shoot them and try to figure out what they are. I never get mallards or wood ducks which I can identify to come in lol and so far this year my grand total is 2 hooded mergs, which taste horrible I might add.

Are there like a handfull of ducks that I would see primarily, I understand anything is possible, but maybe starting by comparing what I see to a few likely candidates as opposed to looking at dozens of pictures of ducks I will probably never see would be more effecient.

Id much rather know exactly what im shooting but im lerning this way prety good.
Lcso61 wrote:Hope I am right because I have been trying so hard to avoid something like this. Had a flock of five, 3 were hen mallards but two appeared to be very dark, almost black, mallards so I thought they were black ducks and killed one of each type. After retrieving them they looked WAY more similar than they did in the air but I still think the dark one is a black duck given that the blue on the speculum has no white trim top or bottom. Also now wonder if it could be a mottled. Either way the second is 50% darker than the first, including its bill and feet. I took some really nice comparitve pics but can not figure out how to load them.

I teach in an academy in Spain and I'm having trouble with my first year secondary school students. Firstly, I don't really know how I should be teaching them. What should 12-13 year olds be able to do/say in English? I'm in charge of speaking activities but many of them aren't interested in speaking English. They have a course book, but my colleagues in the academy don't follow it. Their level is quite low.
I'm getting quite desperate with this class. Can anyone help?

Even though the Iowa Lakes Community College cross country program will be looking toward a couple of freshman to help fill out its lineup, the Lakers certainly won't be lacking in leadership and experience entering a new season.
Sixth-year head coach Molly Struve's squad has excellent numbers with 13 runners out for the sport and three sophomores (two women, one man) returning who participated in last fall's national meet.
"This year we have more women than men, which is the first time this has happened since I have been head coach," said Struve. "Our women's team is looking very strong with eight total women. We have some really great talent coming in and two top returners that will bring experience."
Key returners on the women's team are 2011 national qualifiers Melissa Gjerde and Sydney Park. The top incoming freshman is Leah Courtney of Guthrie Center. Courtney, a first team all-conference cross country runner last season, placed 34th at the 2011 Iowa state cross country meet and finished fourth in the 800-meter run at the '12 Iowa state track and field meet.
Sophomore Luke Hinton is back for the men's team after earning Academic All-Region honors last season. Andrew Kruger leads a freshman class of four after capturing all-Siouxland accolades his junior and senior years at George-Little Rock/Central Lyon.
"Our top male and top female runner both have four years of experience in both high school track and cross country," Struve said. "They were all-conference runners and Leah placed fourth in the 800-meter run at the Iowa state track meet this past May. I am looking forward to having a solid, experienced runner on each team. Also, our returners will be a great strength for us this year as well. All three of these athletes have the college running experience and know what it will take to be successful."
Struve says that the initial adjustment to competing at the collegiate level will be the biggest hurdle for her team.
"Since 10 of our 13 athletes are new to college cross country, and are all true freshman, they will need to learn to manage their time between cross country and academics while living away from home for the first time," said Struve. "We have been practicing for two weeks now and they are starting to realize the strain this training can put on their body – both mentally and physically – I think this will be a challenge for some of the athletes to balance."
Iowa Central and North Iowa Area Community College look to be a few of the stronger teams that Iowa Lakes will face this season.
"In our region, there are four schools that have both a cross country and a track team. These teams usually place the best, since they have larger rosters and a lot of athletes that cross over to both sports," said Struve. "However, I do think that our women's team will place in the top five at some of the region competitions. We have a strong women's team and I look for them to be very successful this year. On the men's side, I foresee us placing sixth or seventh in our region, as long as all of the men stay healthy and injury-free."

I got a good deal on my PF9 at AJI out in Apache Junction. It's on Ironwood and Main, I think.
Other places to check:
Guns, Etc. at Alma School and Warner in Chandler
Pistol Parlor at Country Club and Southern in Mesa
Sportsman's Warehouse can be okay for some stuff - sometimes you get ammo deals - but they don't carry KelTec. They're at Greenfield and Baseline in Mesa.
If you're in Scottsdale, swing by Bear Arms at Scottsdale and Shea. Great selection, though the service has gone downhill a bit recently.
Scottsdale Gun Club is the Big Kahuna in the valley. It's expensive, but super nice and very well-stocked.
Best prices in the valley are usually at Lone Wolf on the west side of Phoenix, but it's a long haul from Chandler.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Irelands child
Cheap paper wont last long - there are several good ones with Norton(my fave) and 3M the most normally available. Mirka is good and have been told that Indasa is not bad. There are Home Despot grades and there are auto supply shop grades - the auto body supplied are usually the best. Stay away from Harbor Freight or other Chinese, Indian, Korean as it will quit cutting real fast.
How quick it wears out is often a matter of what you are sanding. Primer - lasts for quite a while, bondo and other fillers, not so long.
lots of info here ! I have one question.... How do you get the most milage (minutes) out of the sandpaper ? I know soaking it and lots of water with some soap helps , but it still seems to quit cutting pretty fast ???? OR is this normal ? What brand of paper works the best ?.........thanks
|Use prybars to gently push those low areas in the sail panel out, then use a shrinking disc to take the stretch out of them. Do a search on shrinking disc and read up.
|YenkoChevelle 69
|Thanks Gentlemen! You are a big help. What do I do about area's of warpage up in the sail panel where no mere mortal can access?
|I find it easiest when doing a large area to knock into shape some with 36 on a board while still semi soft. Then when it hardens up some more and will feather, sand in cross patterns across the whole filler area if possible, till all edges feather out. Then feel for possible high spots in filler that need some more sanding. If you have any fairly low areas still in your filler, fill those spots in and block it while still somewhat soft, so it cuts down easy enough that you not taking a lot of your previous filler off while sanding those fill spots. Then spread a coat over the whole thing again and block. If you have a bodyline to make, may want to tape off half at the bodyline and concentrate on spreading and straightening a half at a time up, or work on gettng the bodyline straight first. Throw away that 120 and da until you got it straight with 36, 80, 120 I'll only use on a orbital palm sander after everything is blocked straight to get 8o grit scratch a little finer for primer. A lot easier to get things blocked straight with the courser grits. Skim coating whole area after blocked out straigt, or leaving some room when blocking the filler and things are feeling straight for working over with finer grit will take care of the scratch. I'll add to bobs off dolly to knock down high spots, that you should hold your hammer kind of loose in your hand and should allow it to spring off the metal. Everyone is giving you good advice. But so much easier to explain,show, and pick up things if working and showing hands on how would go about attacking it.
|Run your sanding board over the whole panel and it'll show you where the highs and lows are. Your cheap body hammers should work Ok if they have a slight crown to the face- if not just make sure there's no sharp edges on the face of the hammer-use your DA if necessary to shape the hammer head some. You'll want to use a dolly off method when working those high spots down. Hold the dolly on the outer edge of the high area and slightly tap the high spot down, run your board over the area to check your progress. You can work any low areas up with the same proceedure. When all the high spots are down you'll then want to skim the panel and block it looking for low areas.
|YenkoChevelle 69
IT doesn't appear to be flanged. That etchig primer is just to keep the moisture away. How you do suggest knocking down those high spots? I have an inexpensive harbor freight hammer and dolley set. I really can't afford to sink a bunch of money into body tools.
|Don't bother using the DA for any of that shaping work. You need to use your 18" board and 80 grit paper untill the shape is right. Also when working an area that large it'll be best to just skim that whole area and block it down looking for high and low areas. Was the panel flanged before it was installed or just slid under the old panel? Use a guidecoat over your filler to help you see how the shape is forming. Any high spots will need to be nocked down otherwise you'll have a fight that you'll never win. These half quarters are a PITA unless you fit them well and butt weld them in-which takes a heck of a lot of time initially but saves on finishing work in the end. Is that self etch primer dusted over the panel?-for moisture protection or use as a guidecoat? Don't trap any self etch between filler applications.
|On large flat panels don't put any pressure on your air board, just let it glide slightly over the filler. It will take forever to cut the filler, even with a new piece of paper, but you won't get the waves. The larger the panel, the easier it is to distort the filler. Leave the skim coat for last, there is no point in doing it, until the panel is really close.
I'm not a great body man but I think it helps to put a real thin (very, very thin) cloth glove on when feeling for highs and lows. The cloth helps your hand slide over the panel with less friction. It may not work for everybody but it helps me out.
|YenkoChevelle 69
Hello gentlemen, I haven't posted here in quite some time. I frequent Team Chevelle. I see a few familiar faces in the crowd (Sevt, and Martinsr). They have helped me out alot.
Anyhow, the reason I am here is to see if you guys could also give me some tips for body work. I didn't want to start a new thread and waste band width. Anyhow, I have a 1969 Chevelle Super Sport. It's had the trunk floor, tail panel, inner/outter tubs replaced and had those crappy 80% skins put on it. The man who skinned it did so about 1-2 inches above the body line. Why? I don't know, but I do know I have some warage. Anyhow, on with the show.
I also have this door that is giving me fits. It has a low spot right on the body line in the very center of the door. I beat it out was much as I could, but it needs filler.
Anyhow, as you can see on the quarter (inside shot) the thing was lap welded. The new metal is UNDER the old metal, so the old quarter is stepped up ever so slightly. The problem is that is is right near the body line. I am not getting a smooth transition from metal, to filler to metal. It;s still like I have a sharp angle? instead of a smooth flow. It's hard to explain. I have an 18 inch board, 5-6 in block and 80/120 grit paper that I have been using. I've used a DA sander with 120 to knock down some of the large surface area to save some time. I am currently using metal glaze.
Please help!
This is a good thread for anyone to read. I have not touched body work in years (never was any good at it), but reading online has helped with procedures and tools.
Someday, I will be the one asking questions.
|Before you do anything more, get a 3' piece of flat iron or straight edge of some kind and run it over the panel...it will aquaint you with the highs and lows and how big they really are...for free without sanding
