How to Solve HandBrake Quitting Unexpectedly on Mac (OS X 10.12)
Q: I have been using handbrake for a while, and it has worked fine for most DVD's I have ripped. But when I selected my DVD drive as the source for HandBrake I got an error (HandBrake quitted unexpectedly). So I used a third-party program to copy the disk to my desktop. I still got the error when I selected the Video_TS folder as my source. The displayed Crashed Thread was 7. I don't get it. Any solution for such HandBrake quitting problem? And I'm using MacBook Pro running Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11).
You may be intrested in the best DVD ripper alternative to HandBrake.
Why Does HandBrake Quit Unexpectedly?
Generally, HandBrake (latest 1.0.3), compatible with Mac OS X 10.6-10.12, works fine in decoding non-commercial DVDs. Because they simply have no complicated DVD copy protection technologies embedded for anti-piracy purpose. However, some copy-protected DVDs are added with a bunch of redundant data in, for example, DVD with 99 titles, causing the failure in loading movie and finding the right title.
The toughest one is Disney X-project DRM which has been frequently applied in latest movie DVDs. So when you try using to rip DVD Trolls, Finding Dory, X-Men: Apocalypse, Captain America: Civil War or so with HandBrake on Mac OS, you may encounter the problem like HandBrake quitting unexpectedly.
In other cases occasionally, HandBrake does not really quit at 100% point of conversion, but isn't displaying the last step(s) it needs to finish before the conversion is completed.
How to Deal with New DVD Copy Protection
Solutions and Tips for HandBrake Quitting Problem:
* Download 64 bit HandBrake on your Mac; make sure you have downloaded the right version, and 64bit VLC for 64bit HandBrake correspondingly;
* Do not use Autoscan function;
* Find the actual title that the movie is on, namely, the main title number, by using a DVD player software;
* Open HandBrake, select File, then Open Source, choose Title Specific Scan or input a single title (main one), not the whole DVD content.
* Go to a complete HandBrake Tutorial for Mac user for reference to see whether your problem is listed.
After that, you are supposed to solve general "HandBrake Quits Unexpectedly on OS X (10.12)" problem.
How to Avoid HandBrake Quitting Problem on Mac OS
If the HandBrake solutions above still did not work for you, why not find a HandBrake alternative to completely avoid HandBrake quitting problem on macOS Sierra? HandBrake alternative is the other way to completely get rid of any of the following HandBrake problems:
WinX DVD Ripper for Mac is the best HandBrake alternative for Mac (Windows Version is here). It can easily rip any kinds of DVDs, including region 1-6 DVDs, CSS protected DVDs, Sony ARccOS DVDs, Janpanese AV DVDs, TV Series DVDs, various workout DVDs, and the latest (Disney) 99-title DVDs that are not supported by HandBrake, without the help of any third-party tool. This is a one-stop solution to solve handbrake quitting unexpectedly on Mac. After ripping and conversion, you are enabled to play DVD movie on iPhone 7, iPad/mini/Air, iPod touch, Apple TV, and even Surface, WP8, Android, HTC, Samsung, Galaxy Tab, Kindle Fire, PSP...

Quote: Same thing with the Guillotene in Judo. It wasn't taught to me at all in my Judo school during the entire 3 months I was there.
Quote:Another example. The karate school I used to attend, my instructor said you can't learn anything about swords until you get to Black Belt. But yet I could've gone and joined a local Kendo club and started learning everything I wanted to know about swords from day one.
Quote: My point of all this is these "limitations" are somewhat artificial, created by individual instructors or some tradition being carried on for whatever reason.
Quote: What you can learn and when is completely subjective.
Quote: I'm not a grappler but 3 months is nothing in learning an art and you can't expect to scrape the surface in judo in 3 months

A big problem is that the menu is images. Which makes it harder for customers to change the menu items. Think about people who don't own photoshop. Downloading the demo is 1gig, which takes alot of time on slower connections.
Sorry, but this has been up before. Envato would not like this, because people like privacy.
Got 20$, and as i remember, i wasn't in the cut at any of the places, still got my 10$ bugs from the last giveaway, so i've got 30$ tu use on themeforest!
Also, it's great because it gives us the chance to set the level of quality! Awesome stuff jeff!
Some color difference on the background of the text in the header needs to be fixed (atleast in safari 4), and you might consider adding the .stop function to the jQuery code (Fade in/out effect) to remove the "disco" bug. Just my 2 cents.

Clemenza had been the one who'd brought Michael Corleone to be straightened out, a few weeks after he returned to America from his exile in Sicily. The killings of Sollozzo and McCluskey, which had served to make his bones, had happened three years earlier. Clemenza had tickets to a Dodgers game. Second row, right behind the plate. Michael had spent seven of the last eight years away from America, fighting and killing and in constant danger of being killed. He'd missed things. He hadn't even been to his brother's funeral. The Dodgers beat Chicago, 4-1. On the way home, they stooped at what, when Michael left the country, had been the officer s of a daily newspaper. When they entered the huge empty room where the printing press had been there, in the pale late-summer light, sitting behind a long table, were Tessio and Vito Corleone. On the table were a tapered candle, a holy card, a pistol, and a knife. Michael knew what was coming: they were initiating him into the Family.-Dust jacket.

Curious-- what non-software related problems does the e60 have?

I'm just asking out of curiousity. In my casual perusal of these forums, it seems like nearly every e60 issue is software related. If that's truly the case, that's actaully pretty good for a new BMW-- to just have software issues and no niggling mechanical issues.
I say this is "good" for a few reasons:
-software issues have a higher likelihood of actually getting fixed by BMW (since it doesn't involve re-desiging and producing a new part).
-Less chance for dealers to screw up your car in the process-- all they have to do is plug their computer in, download the right software to it and call BMW if they can't figure out how to do that. With mechanical problems, there's lots of opportunities to actually screw up the car.
Rattles from the rear parcel shelf were frequent in the early period.

Takatsuki Kanade is moe moe KYUN too
Seriously, Kanade has like the most interesting expressions and speech patterns this season. What's with the "hau~ ha~ ha~ hau~ hau~" thing!
On another note, the madness of Asura Cryin' doesn't seem to be letting up soon and this episode introduces us to yet another new character, Kurasawa Rika. Yeah both shots above are of her. It looks like she and Kurosaki have some really intense relationship between them. And yeah, she's as intense as Kurosaki too in terms of 'getting things done'.
And speaking of Kurosaki, her armaments get more powerful by the episode. She bloody pulls out a laser cannon-thingy from thin air in this episode. Just about how many weapons does she have stored in her body there! God, I wouldn't be surprised if she pulls out a tank or a battle barge by episode 12 or 13.

Boston to Bermuda: Norwegian Dawn Cruise Review by MsSundance
Overall Member Rating
Boston to Bermuda
Destination: Bermuda
Embarkation: Boston
But, unfortunately, there were a few negatives:
One was the glassware and cups in the buffet...there is such a lot of encouragement to keep your hands clean, yet there was not one day where I didn't pick up several dirty glasses and / or cups from the dishwasher baskets. There was either lipstick on them or the inside of the glass / cup was dirty. One day I looked at 10 cups before I found one I felt was ok to drink from, and then More I used a straw.
The second was our cabin steward. He seemed to have a problem remembering our request for a couple extra towels each day or to replace the used glassware and refill the ice bucket (he DID leave those cute animal towels, however). One evening, he neglected to leave pool / beach towels in our cabin. Upon asking him about them the next morning, he merely said they were in the laundry. Does that mean NO ONE got any towels? He also did not do a great job in cleaning...we found someone's bathing suit under the bed when we first entered the cabin and the balcony didn't get any attention. His reason? He was in a hurry.
The third was the lack of variety of menu items in the two main (complimentary) dining rooms. There was only one or two different choices each day, leaving the rest of the menu the same every day. It seems if a passenger wants food variety, he must pay extra for it.
Fourth, while I understand that cruise lines are looking to increase their bottom line, all the extra methods they have devised to try to squeeze out every last dollar from the passengers via lottery tickets, for-a-fee demonstrations, etc. seems unfair.
Fifth, the pool was too small to accommodate a lot of passengers on sea days. It's too bad there isn't a pool for kids only.
Lastly, while the shows in general were good, the production singers were only so-so.
I would recommend this cruise if the above things don't matter all that much to you. Less

Techies Look for Work Abroad
US technology professionals often work abroad but under different circumstances than their foreign counterparts. US techies, especially consultants, are often paid a premium for working in other countries. If you're working abroad for a US firm, assorted perks, like a housing allowance, may be part of the compensation. Those techies hired by foreign companies may take pay cuts but will likely enjoy double the vacation and a less work-focused culture, especially in Europe.
US technical professionals need proven expertise and in-demand skills to work abroad. "You're going to find more Americans wanting to go overseas, but it's going to be more difficult than it has been in the past," says Bob Senatore, executive vice president of information technology-staffing firm Comforce Information Technologies.
Strategies for Techies Looking for Work Overseas
- Gain a Particular Expertise: You may leverage that knowledge into international assignments, typically as a consultant. The expertise should be deep and industry-specific.
- See If Your Employer Is Overseas: If your company operates on the international stage, you may be able to spend a year or two in a company office abroad.
- Do Your Research: Applying directly to firms or through a recruiter typically requires you to research which firms need your area of expertise. According to Senatore, European firms are particularly interested in SAP, Web development and aerospace engineering experience.
- Expertise Is Key: "You need to have something to offer," says Helen Leong, director of software recruitment for Management Recruiters, the Bay Area office of executive search firm Management Recruiters International. "Just a love for overseas work is not enough."
Whether a US or foreign company, the organization will hire a US techie only when necessary. "Typically, it would be a lack of a skill set or a dire need that's not available locally," Leong says. "There needs to be a justification for it."
And don't expect to spend your time visiting museums, especially if you're a consultant. Robert Taylor, president of consulting firm Third Coast Systems, says a typical international workweek means flying to the assignment on Sunday night, often to Latin America, followed by long days (8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.), late dinners and then flying out on Fridays. "There is very little time to sightsee," he notes.
Consultants should be aware of issues specific to working in another country. "Billing rates are typically higher," Taylor says. "But collections can be slow, and the foreign client generally has a legal advantage if there are disputes."
The International Tech Job Hunt
Want to search for tech work abroad? Follow these tips:
- Look from the US: Unless you're truly adventurous, look for a job from home. That's particularly essential when traveling to a developing country, since workers hired there often receive wages far below those a US tech worker would accept. However, according to Leong, you're generally treated well while working abroad. "If you're sent abroad by a US company, you get the red-carpet treatment," she notes.
That red carpet may include moving expenses and cross-cultural training. "Don't just go there," Leong cautions. "Everything is different abroad, and you have much less access. As much as possible, plan while you're here."
- Target High-Growth Countries: Research countries with vibrant technology industries and demand for your specific skills. Look for countries trying to lure technical talent. But remember: You'll have tough competition, because countries seeking foreign tech workers often look to the same countries US companies do, such as India and China.
- Highlight Your Expertise: Emphasize not just what technologies you know, but the depth of your experience. If a company believes you have something no one else can offer, you'll have a shot at breaking in, even if it must make a special effort to hire you.

I think using "prowl" in the head-line, should be reserved for posts about Fiat bringing back the Plymouth, nay, Chrysler, nay, SRT, Prowler...
Thanks for the photo's though.
I had high hopes in Fiat, especially after the Chrysler tie-up, but after seeing the 500L, I lost it all. Perhaps some North American brands will survive in the long run...

There is NOTHING "Wrong" with the 500L...just like theirs nothing "wrong" with the 500, which is selling like hot cakes and is infact more "Reliable" than that other "Mini" car brand....
The 500L will most likely not Handle better as the comparable Mini but it would be more Practical. the 500 already offers more interior space than the Mini despite being a much smaller car.

There's nothing wrong with the FIAT500L: it will become a world-wide best seller.
Are they going to import these from the plant in Yugoslavia? It will mark the triumphant return of Yugoslavian cars to the US!
Been seeing a few of these 500L's in my neck of the woods (even had a up close encounter with one on I-75 awhile back. Should be an interesting entry and I think the first ever built in cappuchino maker (for the Euro versions) is a inventive touch)
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair

Watch Can We Help in high quality on iviewwatch on iview
What was the winning time in the 1934 England to Australia air race? Matt, NT
We speak with Ian Debenham from Powerhouse Museum and ask him about the historic event.
The England to Australia Air Race was devised to mark the centenary of Victoria/Melbourne and Melbourne was the finish line. There were 64 entries, only 20 aircraft started, and in the end, 9 finished in the allowed time.
Charles Scott and Tom Campbell-Black, flying a de Havilland Comet took an early lead. The two men, after flying for 60 hours, arrived in Darwin totally exhausted and had to be helped from their plane. They still had to make it to Melbourne.
The Dutch team of Captain Dirk Parmentier and copilot Jan J. Moll were giving Scott and Black a run for their money, but on landing in Albury, their plane got bogged. The local townsfolk helped drag it from the mud so it could fly on to Melbourne.
Scott and Black crossed the finish line first in a time of 70 hours, 54 minutes and 18 seconds. Parmentier and Moll crossed the line in second place.
The planes broke the records for such a trip and helped pave the way for the international airlines of today.

HTC Leo Preliminary Specifications
via pocketnow
1. Kiltlifter (Posts: 742; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
Maybe we can see an upgrade to IE. I read a review from PCMag that says the browser on the Zune HD is really nice and dual touch capable. Maybe Microsoft will upgrade IE6 mobile to a multitouch. Whatever the case, I hope a variant of the Leo makes it stateside... and even better if we can trade a 18 month contract for a free one... LOL!
2. tuminatr (Posts: 851; Member since: 23 Feb 2009)
nice the leo does look cool, I bet multitouch is ether a upgrade like winmo6.7 or part of winmo7
3. behold--me (Posts: 650; Member since: 22 Jun 2009)
ok uh this screen is this big it better damn well have multitouch!!!!!

Information ethics: On the philosophical foundation of computer ethics

The essential difficulty about Computer Ethics' (CE) philosophical status is a methodological problem: standard ethical theories cannot easily be adapted to deal with CE-problems, which appear to strain their conceptual resources, and CE requires a conceptual foundation as an ethical theory. Information Ethics (IE), the philosophical foundational counterpart of CE, can be seen as a particular case of "environmental" ethics or ethics of the infosphere. What is good for an information entity and the infosphere in general? This is the ethical question asked by IE. The answer is provided by a minimalist theory of deseerts: IE argues that there is something more elementary and fundamental than life and pain, namely being, understood as information, and entropy, and that any information entity is to be recognised as the centre of a minimal moral claim, which deserves recognition and should help to regulate the implementation of any information process involving it. IE can provide a valuable perspective from which to approach, with insight and adequate discernment, not only moral problems in CE, but also the whole range of conceptual and moral phenomena that form the ethical discourse.

You should keep the throttle steady and as you slip the clutch give it some more gas at the same time. If it gets up 3 soda cans now it probably means you are leaning forward or letting off the gas as it comes up.
You should keep the throttle steady and as you slip the clutch give it some more gas at the same time. If it gets up 3 soda cans now it probably means you are leaning forward or letting off the gas as it comes up.
i ride a Drz400sm-2011model.
thanks Shift1313. so i should lean back or sit up right instead of leaning forward?
and as soon as i am at 12-15km/h range in first i should clutch it up, maintain throttle, and slip it and gas it alittle simultaneously right?
At that speed, that gear and leaning back I would be very careful. Right idea but take it easy, keep your foot on the rear brake and be prepared to back the throttle off.
I'm a little pussy-fied to try it out. HAHAHAHA but god damn wheelie seems helluva fun
You'll be ok, just start slowly and just keep giving it more and more. You don't need to "blow" the throttle just open it to about 3/4 as if you were accelerating away pull the clutch in and drop it again.
iv got a new bike since i last posted. my ktm 620 is bang it in second and full throttle untill the front came up to where i want it and then do my best to keep it there which was never long. iv got a huqvarna te 450 now and it wheelies off the powere on 3/4 throttle in the first 4 gears and popd up in 5th with a little bounce on the bars. gonna go get some practice tonorrow off road.
I've been riding bikes for 15 yrs and still haven't mastered it, :( I can get it up no probs just can't keep it up in a controlled manner, need to change the gearing slightly me thinks
is your bike stock? mine with a jet kit, 3x3, slip on, and 44T rear this is what i would do....
SECOND gear at 30kmh. full throttle, pop clutch, not slip, POP, then lift right away again.. works like a charm every time... In first gear like others have said be careful..
I dont know why you are slipping your clutch and only getting a foot... i could loop a power wheelie in first easy....
the big thing to remember is to pop the clutch with the power on, not after you have already let off, which is what most people do. and don't slip your clutch... You may find doing them in second gear to be easier ... its a bit of a trade off, the wheelie will be more stable at speed, but its scary cause you are going faster.... I could wheelie second for a solid block safely under the balance point... no risk of looping.
also pay attention to whats in your view... im pretty tall so I just tride to keep the triples in front of me... i knew i was safe if i could still see over them hahah

Not sure what pop clutch is but all I to is a one.finger.slip while I am giving it throttle I don't hold in clutch.and pop it if.that's what u mean that's a way to end up on ur but I think esspecally for new ppl learning I worked.on second gear go about 20 mph 15 whatever feels comfy and slowly work.on giving.throttle and wit one finger slip ur clutch will bring it.up drzs.are a bit of.turds stock I big bored mine and I can lift up 1st threw 4th and 5th on a big hill lol I have 3x3 jetted big bored 434 and stock 15 41 gearing just always always I can't say it enough cover and be ready to use ur rear brake sry I am on my phone so hard to see what I typeing sry for.the fails lol

Tech6 ftw.
I've always found it best to practice on a quad. A few reasons are, you can focus more on your technique by now having to worry about your balance, a better feel for brake control since your feet are up, and best thing is if you go to far over you'll just scrape the grab bar and not flip all the way over. It works great, most peeps can have a clutched or powered up wheelie with brake/balance control down in about an hour... Really helps with getting over the fear of flipping.
Re the technique of clutch control, I find dipping the clutch and then applying throttle as you release it to be the most natural and effective way.
I am uncomfortable with the idea of accelerating and then dipping the clutch and releasing it whilst maintaining a fixed throttle input. Increasing the throttle as you release the clutch seems right to me.

By the way, this thread shows 10 pages I thought I would blast through it, but each page seems to have 50 odd posts in it, I am only on page five, gotta add it to favourites and take a break and come back tomorrow I think.
Edit: It's not just you though from reading more replies this thread reeks of male bravado and egotism.

This is how to clutch em up.
Most, if not all videos I watch on YT are people clutching it up (even on bikes with enough grunt to power it up in every gear) So I figured it must be the preferred or best technique to use. I don't use the clutch myself but I can see how it would give you more breathing room before a chase has begun.
I think using the clutch is harder to do, but depending on what bike you own, it could also be a necessity *points at Grom* I've just never had the inclination (mind the pun) to use the clutch on a bike that power-wheelies in the first 5 gears, but as others have said, it's probably not the best technique. The main difference as I see it, is to give yourself a decent window under power, you need to give the bike a little persuasion by way of weighting the bike, pre-loading the suspension, or reefing at the handlebars, or all of the above. With some practice, powering it up can give you all the time you need to settle into the BP without needing to change gears.
All of this becomes a non-issue if you (unlike me) have learned to cover the RB. Then you can just slow your wheelie down, And the window becomes infinite. I guess there's possibly only one advantage to power-wheelies over Clutch-ups, that being your clutch will probably live longer.

I don't fear death, only the moments leading up to it.
There's more to life than jerking off in front of the computer .... I just haven't figured out what that is.
Also i had a drz for 12years or so. 30k miles of clutch dump wheelies on the stock clutch, starting when it was bone stock and brand new. Never changed it and around 26k miles it still measured in spec. Clutch dumps or rapid clutch pulls aren't as hard on a clutch as slipping/riding the clutch. It also helps takes some of the shock out of the driveline since nearly all the bikes we talk about don't have a cush drive rear. Its much easier on a bike if the chain is already loaded up and you can just roll on the power, but if not the clutch helps slip some of the hit.
Best way to learn to wheelie a supermoto is 2nd gear, up a hill with the clutch in my opinion. The biggest mistake people make is to be too high in the revs, especially on underpowered bikes like the wr250 and drz street SMs. Anyone who is riding a 450+ knows you just twist the wrist
I think you are right in saying the bike will be more stable while clutching and that it would be less erratic than powering it up. Something with which I want to experiment with now that you've said it. Having not clutched a bike up since I was a child on my KX 80, I do fear it, but as you say, that's what hills are for.
I would like to ask, does having a non-waved rear rotor help with wheelie-braking ? I am just wondering if the reason I struggle to cover the rear is because my rear brake feels like some kind of retarded ABS system- What I mean by that is the calipers pinch the rotor in intervals which feels very inconsistent. Would a non-waved rotor help much in that regard ?
Cool pic's btw!

Wave rotor should have no affect on brake feel. You probably have a warped rotor. The waves are there to allow for pad cooling and offgassing(on oldet style pads)
Hmm, well that is worrying. I did some rummaging around the web and found a guy with the same brand rotor who's rotor wasn't warped but rather the thickness tolerances were out. He took it to Galfer and they concluded it was out by as much as .005- apparently this is enough to cause the "pulsing".
I think this is more likely the issue with my rotor as the pulse intervals are consistently inconsistent if you catch my drift. Feels like it's pulsing multiple times per revolution, whereas a warped rotor usually only pulses once.
As it happens, I do have a brand new Galfer rotor unopened, so I'll swap them out and see what happens.

Was there a huge difference in braking performance with the floating rotor over the normal one ? I have an over-sized floater on the front and it stops like a champion, but the back is very meh.

I have taught my unorthodox brain to cover the rear for wheelies! Oh what a glorious day!
For quite a while of forcing myself, I thought It would never happen, but like most things persistence was the key! I am now able to go past the balance point with confidence as my foot finally found a path to my brain. Problem still remains that my rear brake is pulsing quite badly, which makes things a bit sketchy when trying to feather them. Checked the bolts on the hub and aligned my wheel perfectly, but the issue is still there. Maybe it's time to switch out rotors after all.
Still having trouble clutching it up though. Kind of feel like I'm buggering up my clutch just trying. Funny thing is that I can clutch it up easily while in first gear, but in 3rd, which is my sweet spot for wheelies, I can't seem to get the rev-matching right.
I'm still stoked about the rear brake wheelie action.

CIBC World Raises Bed & Bath Outlook
CIBC World raised its estimates on Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY ).
Analyst Peter Benedict says third quarter earnings per share beat his estimate by two cents. He notes the results are strong across the board, with comparisons up 8%, and gross margins up 31 basis points to 41.3%, and operating margins up 170 basis points to 12.7%, above expectations. Benedict says management has indicated it is comfortable with earnings per share estimates of 33 cents for the fourth quarter and 98 cents for fiscal 2003 (Feb.), and $1.18 for fiscal 2004.
He says he thinks management's forward guidance is conservative, so he raised his 96 cents fiscal 2002 earnings per share estimate to 99 cents and upped the $1.17 fiscal 203 to $1.20. He continues to believe the company is among the better retailers. He maintains his sector perform rating and $38 target.

Wilderness also has a HD polymer liner as an option.
I think Wilderness it the maker for Galco, and 5.11, but not 100% sure.
I have used the 5 stitch for at least 2 years, and it works well for me. Used it with OWB as well as IWB for my G21. IMO the liner is over kill.

Can someone sue me for an accident that wasn't my fault if 2 months have passed and there was no police report made?
Question Details:
I was at an intersection turning left. I turned into my left lane and a man that was turning right turned directly into the left lane instead of his right lane and side swiped me. This happened 2 months ago and there was no police report. Now he is trying to sue me for a 200 dollar dent he got on his big truck when my cars damages where estimated at $2500 to $3000. Can he sue me?
1) There is no obligation to make a police report to bring a lawsuit. Depending on the conditions and terms in the parties' insurance, filing a police report may be a condition on being covered, but it's not a condition on bringing a suit.
2) If someone legitimately believes that you are at fault (i.e. it's a good faith belief), they can certainly bring a lawsuit. (Lawsuits are also brought in bad faith, too, but then there's at least the possibility of countersuing for the misuse of the system or otherwise bringing a claim or seeking some sanctions.) If they are wrong, that will be determined during the suit; indeed, the purpose of a trial is to determine who in fact was at fault.
3) Nothing stops someone who suffered less damage from suing someone who suffered more; of course, if he hauls you into court, nothing stops you from countersuing him for your own damages or losses.

If it is going to be a house gun more than a carry gun, I would recommend getting a gun with a rail so that you can mount a light to the gun, if something goes bump in the night, you can grab the gun with a light, instead of having to find both the gun and the light. I know you're asking specifically about a MILSPEC, but I just thought I'd throw that out there, unfortunately the only railed 1911 of similar price to the MILSPEC is the Taurus PT1911 of which I am not a fan. So if you decide you do want a rail, you'll probably end up spending more $$$.
Regarding carry, you first have two primary choices:
In the Waist Band or Out of the Waist Band
I carried my 5" 1911 in a Galco Avenger for many years when I chose to carry OWB.
When it comes to IWB there are many fine IWB holsters , my one recommendation is to choose on with widely spaced, offset loops to better distribute the weight of the gun.
Some good choices are:
Comp-Tac (Various Models)
CrossBreed Holsters (Super Tuck)
Desibens Gunleather (#2 and #3)
FIST (Various Models)
Milt Sparks (VMII)
UBG (Canute)
Tucker Gunleather (Various Models)
There are a wide variety of attachment options, I prefer leather snap loops, but that's just a personal preference.
Pending on how you want to carry, there are other options such as shoulder holsters etc. but the two most basic modes of carry are OWB and IWB.
The Springfield MILSPEC is a solid gun, it lacks most if not all of the bells and whistles of other guns, but is still better equipped than the GI models as the MILSPEC does have larger sights. However, you may not want or need all of the bells and whistles and if that's the case, the MILSPEC is perfect for you. Later on down the road, if you do want to change something, the MILSPEC is a good gun to be used as a base for upgrades.


text: There's a couple misconceptions and I'll try to bring them to light. The .223 is not a commercial eq to the 5.56 since it is and has been for some time available to anyone. do not EVER EVER, NEVER fire a 5.56 in a .223 gun. Here's the only differences and I'm going to try to make this simple since most people don't really understand the principles of loading. 1. The 5.56 cartridge has a thicker wall than the .223 because of the difference in pressures created INSIDE the Chamber of the weapon, has nothing to do with internal cartridge pressure. 2. The Throat or what's called the leade is slightly different on the 5.56 and that's basically the distance the bullet travels after ignition into the rifled part of the barrel. Since the 5.56 is just a tad bit longer. Basically, throw everything you've ever heard about the difference between the two out of the window, the two are not the same. They aren't even manufactured the same way, there's a complete different step that has to be taken when loading a 5.56. Ever notice that slight discoloration in the neck of a 5.56? that's due to what's called "flashing". and without this step, upon ignition, the thing would just blow up. If you are building an AR, go with the 5.56 bbl and lower, that way you can shoot either and not have to worry.

Why they don't take the back cap out of a compression driver and expose the dome at the back so to have a dipole HF like Bastanis does, I don't know. Seems perfect for OBs.

Please accept this all as a simple question, my expertise is nowhere near yours (or T. Danley, E. Geddes, or John K.'s and probably a few others). I am mearly basing this on some observations of my own system and some others I have listened to.

"CSD? I am afraid I do not know what it is. Sorry."
when asking for a CSD / waterfall plot as happened to me recently.
Impulse response is a good thing to look at but even more intuitive is CSD IMO. No way to equalise any resonance that shows up. And usually there are several MORE than the prominent one at cone break up quite often in the most sensitive frequency area.
Some divers that find the way to DIY magazines are measured more extensively. Plots of harmonics at 90dB up to 5-7 order and a plot of harmonics against SPL are very revealing and easy and intuitively to compare.
Nice draft on post 1923, Lynn.
I know you love the mirrored bass placed close to the floor and though it is against all physics I would suggest you to lift the OB a rough inch and listen again.
Bass becomes much more " open " and " swingin' " this way.
BudP, There was a PRO version of that driver with the beautiful name:
" Audax PRD 17 HR 37 TSM KAC "
I happened to find it right at the same time than yours in my loft!
Haven't measured nor listened to it ( sadly don't have a second one.), but telling from ancient plots, FR is even smother throughout and slightly more well behaved at the roll off region.
Surprisingly the flat foam surround is still like new . Compare that to old Dynaudio foam surrounds !

This corresponds to real-life experience in a concert hall or jazz club - we sit down, the musicians stand and do their thing. That to me is a real-life perspective, with the sound coming from close to the floor to a level just above listening height, and bouncing all around a lively-sounding room.
If a genuine real-life perspective sounds "wrong" on a loudspeaker, something is very wrong with the speaker - most probably, vertical polar patterns aimed in the wrong direction. This is actually pretty common with big audiophile speakers. I've heard quite a few expensive speakers that didn't sound coherent unless you laid down on the floor - and sounded utterly unnatural and disjointed when standing. If the "sounds good" zone is 30~32" off the floor, that's a pretty weird listening position - all I can think of is lying down on the couch half-asleep or lying on a bed (and maybe doing other things).
I sit pretty high - the listening height for me is about 40", unless I slouch way down, or sit in a chair that is impossible to get out of since it is so low.
Listening from a height of 40" or more, 30~32" tweeter height sounds squashed and dwarf-sized, and severely compresses the soundstage, giving a bizarre "tabletop" miniaturized sound, like a stereo table radio. Maybe some people like this, to me it sounds extremely unnatural.
Maybe you sit at 30~32" listening height - dunno about your physical size and household furniture - but to me, that tweeter height is very compressed-sounding. I like speakers that sound big and spacious - even the Ariels sound pretty large, far bigger than their physical size would indicate.

Wouldn't it be a bit more objective to subject the hifi drivers to similar testing as you do for the pro drivers, than cast judgement leafing through a catalog? I don't totally disagree with you about looks being important for hifi drivers, as they are aimed at audiophiles, who hear with their eyes as much (if not more?) than their ears. But with no data, your statement seems rather subjective. Plus sound quality that is blaring loud enough for public address won't always cut it within the confines of a living room. Different audience requirements.
The cone breaking up inside it's passband? A lossy medium is best for signal preservation? Or hiding things?
What if the goal is reproduction of acoustic instruments, not paper cone-compression driver-amplified box speaker-live sound rock concert? Tom, isn't it best to give both sides of the story? Soft, flexy paper cones are without sin?
Is Dr. Toole's research (CMMD) just a marketing gimmick? Thiel?
Last time I checked, there were no paper processed fiber compression drivers. Has that changed?
This is the original NaO correct? As you use to sell it after extensive design, testing and listening? With a clearly audible breakup? Was this audible breakup per customer request? Did they have to pay extra?
BTW, Tom, what ever happened to the impulse data for the SH100?

Hi AJ,
No, this is the original NaO:
The original NaO used Scan Speak 8545 mid, as does the current NaO II. Sure the SS have their problem but not like the W18. The picture you are showing is of the NaO AEP (All Excel Panel) which was a short lived (for the reasons I mensioned), one off design variant I made at the time the W18 was very popular. I tried one other variant with the W18 and a sealed box woofer (below) which was enthusiastic received at a DIY event but I quickly grew tired of it too. let me say it again, I don't like metal cones or domes. (Maybe a metal cone woofer? I don't know about that as I haven't looked an any due to my bias.)
We all make mistakes. I certainly not immune.
The original NaO is still supported and has evolved into the current NaO II.

Now, here is a CSD of a 2nd order band pass active filter;
Lastly, here is a CSD of the W18 equalized to have the same 2nd order band pass response;
It isn't perfect but clearly the resonance at 500, 800, and 5k Hz are not present. The point is that linear systems can always be corrected by response shaping. It is the nonlinearities that cause the problems.
Now, some one asked aboy Floyd Tool. All I can say about that is, for example, a 1st order band pass response has a transfer function given by
TF = (s/Q)/ (1 + S/Q + s^2).

Hi AJ,
I believe that speaker pictured belongs to John Pastuck and was present at the 2004 Iowa DIY Event. It and Salk Sound HT3's were a few tenths apart in the voting for best sound in the unlimited class. I did not hear the ringing John speaks of but I like metal drivers and don't care for the 8545's. They are very nice speakers.

"This is by far the most wonderful place in our community! The Ark has the best facility, and equipment, and the most amazing classes and instructors I've ever been taught by! If you haven't found a gym to call home, this is definitely the place!"
Burke F Fitness Trainee
"I started going to the Ark in February. I was preparing myself for a bicycle ride across Iowa. I started attending body pump classes and RPM. Without a doubt I am sure those classes helped in my successful ride that I completed in July. But the classes would not be what they are without the awesome instructors, very thorough in their instruction, and motivating. They do a great job. The ladies at the front desk try to get you into classes as quickly as possible if there is an opening and friendly. Overall the cleanliness of the facility is top notch. Great place to get fit."
Kimberlea C Fitness Trainee
"I've been coming to The Ark since September 2014. I am so impressed with the fitness classes, instructors, office staff, and Tiny Tots staff and volunteers. I get a great workout every day and know that my kids are being well taken care of and having fun, too. Everyone is so kind and friendly, and it's a great place to meet people. I am motivated to come every day because of the positive atmosphere and true since of community."
Shannon S Fitness Trainee
"The instructors at the Ark are knowledgeable and are great at offering modifications. The energy is very positive here now and I love that there is something for everyone, regardless of fitness level. A great, friendly, inclusive community center. I love it! Zumba Toning ROCKS!"
Pulaski County Republican Central Committee Community Event
"We were astonished with our experience at the Ark. Jessica and her crew far exceeded our expectations from the initial contact until our event was over. Can't say enough, from the help we received with set up, tear down, lighting, sound, audio, video, planning.Facility was perfect for our event. Well maintained, with every amenity we could have asked for. We are excited to start planning our next event, and you can be guaranteed that "the Ark" will be our facility of choice."
Erin W Fitness Trainee
"I have been working out at the ark for about 5 months now. I am hooked on the les mills body pump classes!! You really get fast results!! But what I enjoy most about the ark is the family membership, the hours of operation and childcare!! As a stay at home mom it would be impossible for me to work out during the day with 3 children ages 4, 16 months and also I watch my nephew 21 months! Tiny tots allows me to work out and know that my children are in good hands!"
Christine B Fitness Trainee
"I moved to the area last October and was on a mission to find Les Mills group fitness classes in the area. Luckily I stumbled across the ARK. I love this gym! The instructors for the classes are so genuinely nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. The facility is always clean, and it is a great overall environment. It has become more than a gym for me, and I can't imagine the ARK not being a part of my experience during my time at Fort Leonard Wood. It exceeded my expectations and has been such a positive area in my life. I would (and do) highly recommend this gym/community center!"
Jessie A Fitness Trainee
"Out of all of the gyms I have ever been to both in the U.S. And OCONUS–the Ark is the best gym I have ever frequented! Amazing classes with caring instructors. Two hours of on sight childcare are provided each morning (Mon-Sat) for me to get a great workout while my son gets to play with childcare providers and other kids his age."

At the beginning of the twenty-first century we created sentient machines, capable of developing themselves further. Social structures and governments as we know them today slowly perished as the machines ascended. At some point we lost control. The machines separated from us, became hostile and then literally bombed us back into the stone age. Then they vanished.
When they returned after decades the few surviving humans were torn apart in anarchy. The machines united humanity, with the intent to play god - thus adapted apotheosis. And we praised them, honored them - thinking we were the creation of the steel god.

63 Percent of Republicans Still Think Saddam Hussein Had WMD
June 21, 2012 at 3:37 PM Leave a comment
We can thank Fox "News" for this:
How misinformed are Republicans about world affairs? If presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's assertion that Russia is "without question our number one geopolitical foe" is any indication, then the answer would appear to be very.
A new poll supports that theory.
The poll, constructed by Dartmouth government professor Benjamin Valentino and conducted by YouGov from April 26 to May 2, found that fully 63 percent of Republican respondents still believed that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the U.S. invaded in 2003. By contrast, 27 percent of independents and 15 percent of Democrats shared that view.
"By contrast, 27 percent of independents and 15 percent of Democrats shared that view?" Those are pretty darn high numbers too given that that lie has been thoroughly debunked.

"Big data"—the collection and analysis of large, complex data sets—is both a boon and a challenge to Alzheimer's researchers, according to subject experts speaking at the Advisory Council on Alzheimer's Research, Care, and Services meeting Dec. 2, 2013, on the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD. The quarterly meeting of the Council, which advises Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease [1], heard about several initiatives focused on capturing, standardizing, and making freely available the massive amounts of DNA and imaging data now available due to advances in technology and how this new information can be integrated with other clinical data.
Dr. Arthur Toga, director of the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, described how the amount and density of data collected from Alzheimer's study volunteers—from brain imaging to neuropsychological tests—have outpaced the storage capabilities of researchers and research institutions. Additionally, the volume and complexity of the data make it difficult for researchers to process and visualize the data and to compare it across domains.
Toga described the Global Alzheimer's Association Interactive Network [2] (GAAIN), a new "global infrastructure" now nearing completion that would link data from multiple sources and enable a scientist to easily access and use vast, interlinked repositories of data on thousands of people with Alzheimer's or at risk for developing the disorder.
"It's a place to go to look up where data is stored. It provides a dynamic snapshot of what data live where," Toga said.
Dr. Zavan Khachaturian, of the Prevent Alzheimer's Disease 2020 [3] campaign, discussed the need to work collaboratively towards building infrastructure to store data from the millions of volunteers he believes are crucially needed to develop cost-effective interventions for Alzheimer's. Consultant Lynn Etheredge, a researcher and expert on cancer and other chronic disease health networks, described how biomedical research has benefited from large-scale databases and how Alzheimer's-related databases might be integrated.
