What type of events are APB speakers available for?
APB's speakers are available for a wide range of programs, events, and non-traditional engagements, including:
In addition to the traditional types of events above, a select number of APB Speakers International's speakers are available for consulting engagements, television commercials and other unique engagements. Please contact us or call us at 800.225.4575 to check a specific speaker's availability for any type of event.
What does it mean when a speaker is exclusive?
While there are different types of exclusive arrangements, the International Association of Speakers Bureaus defines exclusive as "when the speaker has signed an agreement with a program consultant to handle all speaking engagements." This means that exclusive speakers are represented by only one speakers bureau.
What are the benefits of being exclusive?
Exclusive representation of a speaker allows a speakers bureau to provide more efficient and effective services to both speakers and clients. APB works intimately with our exclusive speakers to manage their calendars, fee schedules, technical requirements and other information necessary to the planning of your event. We are able to easily communicate with them directly regarding topics, fees, dates and technicalities.
If I don't see a speaker listed on your website, can you still book them for my event?
Of course. APB lists 1,500+ speakers on our website, but our network consists of thousands more! Our program consultants have access to speakers from across the globe, and, as a member of the International Association of Speakers Bureaus, we have the ability to secure other speakers bureaus' exclusive speakers on behalf of our clients. If you are interested in a speaker not listed on our website, please email or call us at 800.225.4575 and we will tap into our global network to contact them for you.
How does someone become a speaker with APB?
If you are a professional speaker and are seeking speakers bureau representation with APB Speakers International, please visit APB's speaker recruitment page for instructions on how to submit your materials for review. After our staff carefully reviews your information, someone will be in contact with you. Thank you for your interest in APB Speakers International.
Fees & Costs
How much does it cost to book a speaker? / Where can I find speaker fees for APB's speakers?
Speaker fee or honorarium* can depend on a number of different factors, including: the type of organization and nature of an event (for-profit vs. not-for-profit), how far a speaker has to travel, length and number of presentations, and demand for a speaker's services. *Additional expenses such as travel and lodging are not included in the honorarium.
With our broad range of speakers, we can find a speaker to fit any budget.
Does it cost more to book a speaker when using a speakers bureau?
No, the speakers bureau is paid by the speaker, not the client. As a leading speakers bureau (not a booking agency), we actually know our speakers personally. This means that we know each speaker's preferences and the factors that influence them to be more flexible in their fee requirements. These factors include type of organization, audience or event, the location of the event, and promotional opportunities for book sales, just to name a few. And, as we work with speakers on a daily basis, we are able to help you save on travel by tying into existing travel plans. Check out our tie-in list for opportunities in your area.
How far in advance should I start planning an event?
Optimally, events are planned 6-12 months in advance. However, we know this is not always possible. Our program consultants and event coordinators are experienced with working in much shorter timeframes and are adept at coordinating last minute bookings or replacement speakers in the case of an emergency cancellation.
If you are looking to secure one of our higher profile speakers or host an event on a popular date, we advise that you begin planning much earlier as many of our top speakers have dates scheduled up to several years in advance. Also, competition during popular time periods, such as Black History Month, can be intense.
Can you help me find local speakers for international events?
Yes, with 17 offices around the globe, our program consultants in these locations offer invaluable perspectives on both global and local speakers and issues that will generate the most interest and appeal for your audience.
What if my speaker has to cancel because of an emergency?
At APB, we are pleased to boast an extremely low cancellation rate among our speakers. When the occasional cancellation does occur, it is generally attributed to something that is out of both APB's and the speaker's control – such as a sudden emergency or unforeseen circumstance. Otherwise, we have a thorough process in place when planning speaking engagements that ensures accordance with our speakers' schedules to prevent any hiccups or cancellations.
In the highly unlikely case that an emergency does arise and a speaker must cancel, we will work with you to find an appropriate replacement. Our worldwide network of speakers offers countless options in the case of an emergency, and our 24/7 staff is more than ready to handle any last minute complications.
Choosing a Speaker
How can I evaluate a potential speaker before inviting them? Do you have testimonials?
Our experienced program consultants will work with you to understand your programming and event needs, give you customized recommendations, and then provide you with the tools you need to properly evaluate each option for your event. We have a number of targeted catalogs that make finding the right speaker a breeze, and we also encourage you to browse through Our Recommendations, videos, testimonials, and profiles of speakers on our website. If we don't have video or testimonials on a speaker's profile page, contact us to see if we have it offline.
Can I watch a preview video of a speaker before making my decision?
Of course! We are constantly adding new videos to our website every day. If you do not see a video on a specific speaker's profile, or would like to see additional footage, call us at 800.225.4575 or contact us to see if we have it offline.

MathLink: DLLMAIN error:linking with Borland C++ Builder 3
I am trying to using the MathLink capability of Mathemetica using
windows 95. I am getting a general error in module DllMain when trying
to link with Borland builder 3. Specifically I am trying to do the
addtwo example that they give.
Everything works great with the precompile and the compile but when it
gets to the Linking operation it fails (giving the DllMain message).
One thing I noticed is that
the /V4.0 is not a valid option when using TLINK32. Also in the
Mathematica documentation
it is stated that the example given was compiled with Borland 5.0. I
was told by Borland that
the Builder supersceded 5.0.
I would appreciate any help in resolving this problem. Thanks.

Alexis Lichine took over the property in 1952. He completely restructured Chateau Lascombes and renovated the vineyard and cellars, giving this large vineyard new life. In 1971, he sold everything to the English brewer, Bass-Charrington. Since its purchase in April 2001 by Colony Capital, a new era has begun for this property.
The Chateau Lascombes vineyard stretches over eighty-four hectares within the Margaux appellation. The present varietal distribution is 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. View all Chateau Lascombes Wines
About MargauxView a map of Margaux wineries (mahr-GOH)
Soft, elegant, feminine… these are words often used to describe the wines of Margaux. The commune is different from its northern neighbors of the Haut-Médoc in both geography and style. Home to the name-sharing premier cru, Margaux lays a few marshlands south of St.-Julien.
Notable FactsAs in other Medoc appellations, Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blends of the region, but the percentage of Merlot in Margaux's wines is higher than other left bank communes. Add that to a diverse soil, lighter than that in the north, and you have a softer, more voluptuous wine. In the best years, wines of Margaux are delicate, elegant and refined - structured, but not austere. Chateau Margaux is, of course, a first growth and a highly esteemed and sought-after wine. Chateau Palmer, a third growth, is also well-respected and often commands prices equivalent of first growths. Look for Cru Bourgeois if you want to try the finesse of Margaux at a lower price.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

diy masking station ideas?
Ok so I thought about buying one of those masking stations for all of my diffrent size paper but I don't like giving up the floor space&since I'm doing the epoxy floors&tearing out all my old shelves&building new work benches I figured I'd incorparte a homemade systems into the work bench.Basically I'm gonna use 2x4s on the end of work bench &use some dowel rods or pipe..but what I'm caught up on is what can I use that will be stationary to cut the paper nice&clean?
******************** I've thought about getting some thin board&gluing box blades between two pieces but I'm hoping one of you guys have a better idea?I need something like they have on the masking station or the box of wax paper@the market.
What ever it is it needs to last awhile as it will see a lot of use.I'm open to any ideas thanks.
How about a section of a band saw blade? Even small band saws have blade that are plenty long enough and a small toothed blade should cut nicely for a long time.

Here is a picture of mine, I made it back in high school about 35 years ago. This is before the days of cheap stuff from China so I bought the rollers and tensioners from the local paint supply and built my own frame. If I remember correctly i used two hacksaw blades pop riveted together but at a later date I replaced it with a section of band saw blade. The tensioner for the blade is a hacksaw cut in two welded to the frame.
Hey fellas thanks!I think I have what I need now.I have a box of bandsaw blades I'm not using&some hacksaws collecting dust.
I would just get a stand with three rolls on it with also an easy edge on it as well. Then I would make a wall mount for the widest roll with a tape roll holder and jagged edge to cut the paper. I would do it this way because sometimes you want to move the masker to where you are at or move it out of the way to keep it clean. The big wall mount would simply be doing what manufactures don't...design good masking machines for the big pieces of paper. I've seen one once in a shop and all other shops just I've seen just use their leg to cut the paper and ad tape themselves.
Im picking up materilas this weeknd I've decided to build it on a rolling workbench
I am posting a number of photos of my favorite in case you wanted to make one. If you do I can give you the specs. But honestly, I have done this a long time and used about every masking machine made including none at all using a 36" roll and a razor knife to cut what I needed. :D This machine is without a doubt, nothing more to talk about (in my opinion) the absolute best hands down. Sorry for the crappy photos it's dark when I get home and I wanted to get these up for you to see. But this think is the bomb, it has a 3", 6", 12", and 18" rolls. It doesn't fall all over when you tear the paper like a lot of them, I can pull off a piece of paper 15 feet long and tear it off from 15 feet away, I am not joking. It simply is the best. I couldn't fine one on line, don't know why, are they not available anymore? Don't know the name, maybe it's on it? Hmmmm, didn't look.
I see that it has a sticker on the bottom, I will get it's name tomorrow if it can be read.
just like what I'm talking about but with an easy edger on the top. There's no need for nothing more really.
Thanks Martin Summit has one similar but its straight up.

Heres the one I use every day..I made it about twenty years ago...It used to be straight but it fell of a truck I was taping...All it is is electrical conduit and conduit couplers (cut in half) so I can adjust where the paper roll sits and adjust where the tape roll sits. for the tape holder I used the plastic ends that come with a roll of plastic sheathing(perfect)to cut the paper I welded hack saw blades on the rod which are hood props..I always wanted to make another one that didnt look so homade but this works so well I never needed to ...holds 36" on the bottom ,18" and the top one, any of the narrower papers...
I only buy the 36" rolls because I can cut the the paper to any size I need on my band saw..
nice. One thing I hate about them is when people don't take care of them and things become loose and wobble around, which allows the tape to wander on the edge of the paper. Oh man, that's annoying! for personal use and for a lack of garage space, I just use the old 3m hand dispenser which I used for mobile painting a couple years back. More work but I need the space in my garage.
And ALC Keysco 33004 Vantage Paper Tree Masker | Paint Prep, Masking
They aren't cheap, $300 but you know what they say about quality stuff, you have to pay for it.
They arent cheap but I am...I might have a twentyspot into this one..plus an hour or two in labor
I hear ya, I don't know how good yours works but I am not kidding, I have never used one that works better than this baby. You can honestly pull the 18" paper out and walk 15-20 feet from the thing pulling it, give it a snap and it tears perfectly. It is an awesome tool.

*** Time to get real about QB ***

"Lying scumbags need not apply"

Unlike WDFP, I provided continuous evaluation of Ponder. No extremes to either say worst QB, trade him and no future HoFer. I leave that clueless type rants to....well I leave it to Clueless from Vegas.
Don't forget he has always been, currently is and always will be a Greenway hater. Meanwhile those of us who actually watch football realize he is one of the best LBs in the game today.

Ponder finished 21st in passer rating and 31st in YPA.
Webb finished the postseason for us just as inept as Andy Dalton did for cinci. The were ranked about the same. Brutal.
Well, my position is the same. Ponder is an average to below average qb that I doubt is a long term answer. But, there are no qb's in this draft I think we can take and flip the keys to. Ponder in 2013.

Sometimes it sucks to be right. I was right about lack of QB depth and it showed up at the worst possible time.

2013 Cam Newton will be visiting the Vikings. Hmmm - that game could be interesting......

lack of QB depth was intentional. the braintrust didn't want there to be a legitimate QB behind Ponder to pressure him. They didn't want to T-Jack him. Spielman saw what happened with T-Jack under Childress and he didn't want to repeat it with Ponder. So, adios, Rosenfels.
#88 Jan 10, 2013
Agreed. Y'know....triceps? Don't need those to hand off.
He should have started and gone as far as he could. He wussed out. Or he was coerced to wuss out.
Brett Favre....313 games in a row until McKinney gave up.
Ponder needs to toughen up. Couldn't throw over 12 yards? When do they ask him to?
I think we have another Chris Chandler, the man of glass.
We have not had a backup since Jeff George.
QB position wide open at all 3 slots.

Wussed out. Come on Harry, that's a cop out. Everyone brings up Favre and how long he went. Guess what he was both lucky and stupid. Lucky by not having a major injury and lucky by having only lesser injuries to throwing arm. He was stupid becuase when he did get banged up like the bad hand he had a couple times he stayed in and played. Guess what happened? They lost. Don't forget the NFC Championship game when he played with a badly sprained ankle. If he was smart he would have came out of the game for the good of the team. 4th qtr, game tied, 3rd and 15 on NO 38 tard line in field goal range. Favre is flushed out and tries to make throw with that bad ankle hampering him. Pass intercepted. Game heads to over time and the New Orleans cheaters..I mean Saints win.
If QBs wouldn't have the idiot mentality of playing through pain but rather a mentality of team first, he would have come out. Different scenario then. QB with good legs is flushed out, sees nothing open and runs for 5 yards. Longwell comes out and makes 50 yard field goal and Vikings go to the Super Bowl.
Playing through pain makes sense for some positions. It makes no frikkin sense for QB. As playing at lest then you best means the enitire team is playing at less then thier best.
#90 Jan 11, 2013
I see what you mean.
But, Ponder is not RG Knee out there to shorten his career to 5 years. A scratch one hour before the game is a wuss-out.
Listing Ponder as probable.....then letting him do two series before going to a surprise in Webb might've worked better.
I'm not saying he should have gone in for the duration. I'm saying he needed to be a leader and START! Then he can throw a few wobblers and grimace in pain and exit.
Standing in civvies or a hoodie on the sidelines with an owwie does not inspire.
Stabler played on bad knees starting in college. And Favre, yes Favre, 313..........
Its about leadership. Toughness. Going a little farther for your teammates. Ronnie Lott losing part of a finger to stay in the game. Youngblood playing with broken bones. Even Terrel Owens getting stainless steel screws in his leg to play in the SuperBowl.

Harry, let's look at it another way. Frazier see's his QB whack an elbow on a helmet the previous week. QB comes n with bruised and stiff arm and coach smartly keeps him out of practice. By keeping him out of practice he does have to put an injury report out he listed Ponder as questionable. That's the 50/50 guess when it comes to injury. Now it's game day and Ponder after not throwing all week tries to throw and can't. Coach sees that and Frazier, not Ponder, makes the decision to inactivate him. It wasn't Ponder being a wuss it was Frazier making an assessment that a player couldn't play.
What if the coach would have been Shanahan? He leaves Ponder in who tries to throw and does real damage to his arm. I don't agree with Frazier on lots of things but I do agree he made right decision to not have Ponder suit up. Not good for Ponder and not good for the team if he did.
"Lying scumbags need not apply"

#92 Jan 11, 2013
Did some research and Ponder's injury was called everything from contusion (bruising) to bursitis. As someone who has had shoulder bursitis I know what that can do to movement. Some news sources say Ponder had bursitis in his right elbow when a senior at Florda State and had it drained a couple times.
Well shiiiittttt, doesn't that just make things different. He injured an elbow that has a history of bursitis. This can't bode well for his long term ability. It might also explain some lack of arm strength as even minor swelling in the elbow won't allow for a full throwing motion.
Bottom line - Vikings need to build a stronger bullpen at QB.
"Lying scumbags need not apply"

#93 Jan 11, 2013
Forgot to add something. Ponder reportedly couldn't throw longer than 10 yards. As it turns out neither could Joe Webb.
United States
#94 Jan 11, 2013
Oh I dont know Stubby, that throw he made straight up into the air as he was getting sacked looked like it went at least 15 yards vertically.
#95 Jan 11, 2013
Glass! Just like Atlanta's Chandler!
And I cannot recall a QB in college or the pros that got scratched last-minute for sore triceps. It was handled poorly.
AND no bullpen. You are correct.
#96 Jan 11, 2013
Rumor has it the Packers prepped for Webb all week.

How is this news on ponder's injury history, including the elbow. We all know this and the only season in college of ponder's where he looked decent was the junior year, when his arm was fine. I would think, anyway.
Bottom line is we are married to Ponder at least one more year. 10 wins year two with a four game winning streak to get into the post-season? Braintrust isn't changing what isn't broken and Ponder did what Frazier wanted.

#100 Jan 12, 2013
Lots of QBs have been scratched with injury to throwing arm. Doesn't matter if it was tricep, thumb, elbow, or shoulder. It's because injury is to THROWING arm.
tell you what. Ask a buddy to take a 3 lb sledge and whack you in the tricep just behind the elbow. Then wait a couple days for to swelling and stiffness to set in. Next go try and throw a ball. You'll get the picture.
#101 Jan 12, 2013
Lost the SuperBowl. Doesn't count. 44 year old Elway won it.
#102 Jan 12, 2013
And AGAIN.....still should've started, handed off 12 straight times, grimaced in pain, and let Green Bay deal with Webb or Alphabet.
Toughness. Leadership. Going the extra foot. And Ponder had stretches this season where he was horrible. He was lucky to be near a playoff game. And he may never see one again. Next time he might rub some dirt on his arm and get in there.
Oh, and I don't think a buddy hit Ponder's arm with a sledge.

For the people who have supported me this far
Wow! I have been jet-setting a lot this week! Left New York last night and landed in LA. Now I'm in LA getting ready to attend the ESPYs this afternoon. They are taping the show tonight and will air it on Sunday (I hope you all will watch!).
Other than that, I am keeping busy with press and TRAINING! I even travel with a trainer so I have no excuses. Not that I need any. This fight with Cris Cyborg is enough motivation for me. I'm SO excited for August 15th (and I hope you are too).
Okay, well keep checking back. I know I've said that I've been taking video to post on here and I PROMISE I will post it soon – I just need time to upload it and I haven't been able to do that yet.
Thanks for the support!
Bark again soon!
Hey, everybody - this is my first official post and I am so excited to be a part of YARDBARKER!!! Not only will I be typing you messages every once in a while but I also have a Flip Cam (thanks, YB) and so you'll get to see video footage of me and everything I'm going through as I get ready for my August 15th fight against Cris Cyborg.
The Official Site of Gina Carano
I started training when I walked into Master Toddy's gym in Las Vegas, Nevada. I was going to school and had no real solid direction in my life. Muay Thai gave me something to focus on. I started going twice a week, then three times a week and before I knew it, I was in the gym everyday soaking in all the information I could handle. I had my first fight 6 months after I started and from that point I compiled a record of 12 wins 1 loss and 1 draw.
At that time, I was attending the University of Nevada-Las Vegas planning on graduating with a Psychology degree. But doors started opening for me and I found myself in a situation where I had to choose one or the other. School or fighting? Since I was much more passionate about Muay Thai, I withdrew from my classes and began to travel around the world to fight and participate in fight events. It opened my eyes and gave me a whole new education. I traveled to Thailand 4 times and fought twice. I loved it.
I fought in a K-1 match in Las Vegas at the Mirage and frequently fought at what used to be the Stardust in Las Vegas. I was then offered the opportunity to fight in the first ever sanctioned MMA bout in Nevada against Leiticia Pestova. I won that match in 39 seconds. My third fight was against Elaina Maxwell, was also the first time a well-known MMA promotion, StrikeForce, was to have females on their card in December 06'. I won by unanimous decision. I was then signed to the (then) up-and-coming promotion, Elite XC , and was offered the first televised female MMA fight to be shown on Showtime.
After that, came other opportunities - I was a part of an independent film called "Ring Girls" and a reality show called "Fight Girls". I was a featured as "Crush" on American Gladiators for two seasons on NBC. I was the character of the Russian sniper "Natasha" in the EA game "Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3". I was in a Pepsi commercial that aired during the 2009 Super Bowl and chosen as #16 on the 2009 Maxim Hot 100 list which lead to a marketing campaign for General Motors. I've been a guest on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson Show, NBC's TODAY Show, featured on Warrior Nation (MSNBC) and featured on ESPN's "I'd Do Anything" reality show.
I consider myself incredibly blessed to be in the position I am in. And I want to thank everyone who has helped me to get where I am today.

Michael Lindner: Sandblasted Extra Long Canadian (E3)
Product Number: 002-514-0092
Snapping the caliper at over seven and a half smoke cooling inches, this is the most elongated Lindner Canadian we have had the pleasure of offering, and the thin oval silhouette of the shank combines with a medium-tall bowl to create an even greater sense of stretch than the measurements would indicate. While the bowl runs true to the classic English interpretation, but paired to an extra-long shank, with your index and middle finger on the front of the bow, and your thumb bracing the rear, there is zero sense of the unwieldly in its handling. Just a very handsome example of Michael, firing on all eight cylinders.

Thanks AF! Great Pics! I am glad to see some people are seeing the Quality Curtis has put into these. With in spec tooling, I believe these are the best flats that have ever been available. PERIOD!
Here's a few more photos of completed rifles built on ak-builder flats.
Nothing short of actual european FA receivers could be closer to correct. At least that's this mustelid's opinion.
Bulgarian Sidefolder:
Polish Underfolder:
Polish Tantal:
And a video of the Tantal's left-side selector clicking away (although nonfunctional, it's a helluva lot better than other options for building them--oh wait, there aren't ):
Tantal clicky clicky!
Thanks AF! Great Pics! I am glad to see some people are seeing the Quality Curtis has put into these. With in spec tooling, I believe these are the best flats that have ever been available. PERIOD!
Freedom is not free. Some will perish to preserve it for the many. Just as our Forefathers did before us, we must take up the battle and not waver. Victory is our only option.
A. Ferrat, cool stuff going on there; nice builds!!!!!!
I finished my bulgy sidefolder using ak- builder flat last night. All holes line up perfect,. All I had to do was a few light touches with a file on the stock button holes. Test firing tomorrow. Tantal is next. Total build time including demill.4 hrs.
Icarus dropped by last week with a couple of the new AK-Builder flats. Looked really nice, the magwell, X and Y dimples (V dimple? bottom leg is missing) were obviously made with hi quality tooling. Only thing I saw I didn't like were the edges of the trigger cutout and top rail, both have a sort of saw toothed edge. They'll clean up easy enough, and wouldn't keep me from buying the flats.
What could you do to make the left side selector functional? I'm confused about how it works and what it interacts with inside the receiver.
The botoom "Y" on the flat for the trigger pin is a creation of Tapco which gets smashed when the flat is bent.
I didn't get the die in time for the trigger opening, but it will be here on the next ones for a clean punch through. I was filing them by hand, but if that's the worst that can be said about these they are still better than any other flat that's out.
Was there any trimming of the front of the receiver?
Did you have to trim the mag catch or move the front trunnion forward in the receiver?
Does the bolt hit the center support?
Does the bolt carrier hang up on the hammer?
Become a Class II manufacturer... The left selector switches between semi, full-auto, and burst. The right selector is safe and fire.Originally Posted by ohmysac
There's a ratchet plate that slips into the left side of the receiver (conveniently locking the axis pins in place). The plate engages another ratchet on the hammer shaft, and a pin on the disconnector.
In burst mode, the ratchet will click 3 times and then release the disconnector. This allows 3 rounds to fire with each squeeze of the trigger.
When the switch is set to full-auto, The disconnector is locked out, the ratchet will not engage, and the rifle functions like a normal AK.
In semi-mode, the ratchet will not engage, and the disconnector is unlocked. It will grab the hammer after every shot.
Harlan has a thread with pics of the correctly assembled Tantal FCG:
Tantal Fire Control System
You can see the ratchet plate and the one on the hammer very clearly in the last 2 pics.
For us non-manufacturers... The best bet is to remove the post from the selector. This prevents it from locking out any type of disconnector. Making a duplicate side plate (without the ratchet) would allow the axis pins to be locked in place, and the selector to be retained. Fit a G2 trigger group and enjoy the rifle.
The most damning evidence is the truth.
That which does not kill you, really really really hurts...
Gunco Member #21
I was going to argue about the "Y" stamping , I pulled the FCG from my WASR and checked all the pics Stottman took at the AK exhibit in Holland. The lower leg of the "Y" clearly runs downward till it's flattened on the bend line on the auto sear pin hole on both my WASR* and the com bloc recievers in Stomman's pics. The "I" on the selector side auto pin hole does the same.Originally Posted by Stickerman
The trigger pin hole seems to be a "V", neither my WASR or the other combloc recievers have a visable bottom leg on the trigger pin hole. I did notice the "V" is either consistantly stamped too high on the reciever, or it's taller than the "X" or "Y" stampings. In almost all of the pics it runs nearly twice as far from the trigger pin as the hammer or auto sear pin, looks almost like bunny ears compared to the other two.
The trigger hole cutout in the bottom of the reciever being rough struck me as odd, which is why I mentioned it. Glad to hear these will be smoothed going forwards. The top rail is a non-issue as they'll be cut to fit during the build. One thing not mentioned before I was very happy to see is the extra metal left for forming the top rails. My biggest gripe with all the flats I've seen before these was the outer edges being cut too close to finished size. It should be much easier to form the top rail using these flats, and no more difficult trimming them to size than on any other flat out there. A big for addressing this.
*My WASR does not have an auto sear pin hole. (Just wanted to make that clear, wouldn't want anyone (i.e. the feds) to think the rifle was anything other than a fully legal, 922r compliant, semi-auto AK clone.) It does have a romanian made reciever, and it has the "Y" and "I" stampings where the auto sear pin hole would be. My assumption is all of the various stampings are formed in one operation, and the factory didn't bother remaking the tooling to exclude the auto sear "Y" when they're making WASR recievers.
I really didn't want to mess with the dimples on the auto sear holes. That would mean more dies and the flats would cost more. They are already three times the cost of a Tapco flat.
If a Class II manufacturer with the SOT wanted some then I would do it, but for the average builder I won't mess with the auto sear pin dimples.
So the million dollar question is... is it better than a Tapco, Joeken (Eubanks, Hesse) or Nodak flat and rails?

I preferred Robotic Julia. Now we have Furious Julia. Is there no middle course for the Prime Minister? Are we now seeing the cumulative strain of the cost of attaining power and maintaining a minority government whose legitimacy is based on the votes of a pathological liar, a disgraced Speaker and two rural independents who can't add up?
Furious Julia has become obsessed with the Leader of the Opposition, a level of personal animus that has reached the point of becoming the defining issue of federal politics. It may provide a voyeuristic soap opera for the political class and the Canberra press gallery but it is unhealthy politics and it is toxic policy.
With power comes responsibility. The government controls the funding, the resources, the policies, the Parliament. It thus owns the tone.
The tone is vicious and it comes from the very top. I have compiled a database of Gillard's personal attacks on Tony Abbott's character and they now number in the hundreds. Last Monday's column provided a salty sample but that was barely a spritz of Gillard's acid rain.
On Tuesday, the Prime Minister indulged in yet another insulting commentary on Abbott's character but this time it leached into diplomatic spheres and indirectly insulted the President of Indonesia, a staunch friend of Australia.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was sucked into Gillard's fixation when, as Abbott was still in meetings with Indonesian officials, the Prime Minister described his discussions with the President as ''cowardly'', even though she was not privy to the talks. Such meetings should be beyond the pale of domestic political brawling.
This was a breach of protocol over an issue, asylum seekers, which has been an unmitigated disaster for the government. It is now spending $1.4 billion a year on a problem of its own making. The waste is mind-boggling. The opposition spokesman on immigration, Scott Morrison, pointed out last week that the spending in the 2011-12 financial year averaged $12.8 million for every illegal boat arrival, or $172,700 for every person on board.
Abbott was in Indonesia trying to get a handle on this mess when Gillard launched her second smear-and-smokescreen in successive weeks. On October 9, after getting caught out protecting the unseemly conduct of her chosen speaker, Peter Slipper, Gillard responded in Parliament with a squall of acid rain about Abbott's character.
But we now know, thanks to the bungling Attorney-General, Nicola Roxon (herself no stranger to the vituperative spray as a diversion), that the government had been aware of Slipper's stream of crude sexual comments when the Prime Minister launched into Abbott.
Her flame-throwing about ''sexism'' and ''misogyny'' was thus not just hypocrisy, it was personal animus masked as principle, a smear without content, a smokescreen without shame.
All this proved a convenient distraction from the political substance of the past week, the Senate hearings into the budget estimates, which revealed a rolling series of policy debacles. If you were wondering how the government could spend so much money maintaining a failed border security policy, the Senate estimates hearings offered gold nuggets such as these:
Already $2 million has been spent flying 260 asylum seekers from Christmas Island to Nauru, an average cost of $7600 per person, or four times the price of an economy round-trip fare from Australia to London.
The government paid the Tasmanian ambulance service $543,000 for what turned out to be 11 trips to the Pontville detention centre near Hobart, a cost of $49,363 per trip.
Other lowlights from the Senate estimate hearings:
After 3½ years, the NBN Co had signed 6400 households to its network, a rate of five households a day, even though the company has one employee for every 15 customers.
Fair Work Australia has spent $1.8 million on outside legal and accounting advice for its investigation into the Health Services Union. This does not include the cost of the department's legal action against the MP Craig Thomson for his alleged role in the widespread rorting of union funds while he was an official with the HSU.
The Home Insulation Program, infamous as the pink batts scheme, has cost $2.15 billion in installation and clean-up costs, a wild blow-out in government forecasts.
The Attorney-General's Department used 19 lawyers and spent $730,000 to settle and pay $50,000 in damages to a former aide to Slipper, all while the Attorney-General was dismissing the case as vexatious.
Officials from the Department of Defence confirmed that the $200 billion cost of acquiring the capabilities outlined in the government's 2009 defence white paper is almost completely unfunded.
Spin: the Department of Industry spent $156,000 trying to prevent The Australian Financial Review from publishing details of government subsidies to the union-dominated car industry.
More spin: the Department of Broadband prepared articles extolling the benefits of the national broadband network and sent them to 22 ''NBN champions'' urging them to get the articles published under their own names.
The Department of Climate is spending $20.5 million on a fit-out of its new headquarters building in Canberra, including a stainless steel executive wine cabinet and Nespresso machines in all eight staff kitchens.
Today, the government will release a revised set of budget estimates. They will show, of course, a deterioration since May. The Treasurer will attribute this largely to a shortfall in revenue caused by the decline in commodity prices. It will have nothing to do with waste, incompetence and excessive spending. It will also be Abbott's fault, for talking down the economy with his ''reckless negativity''.

US STOCKS-Wall St opens lower as Fed meet approaches
* Oil prices fall after Goldman Sachs cuts forecast
* S&P poised for biggest weekly gain since July
* Zumiez falls after cutting third-qtr forecast
* Indexes down: Dow 0.23 pct, S&P 0.27 pct, Nasdaq 0.30 pct (Updates to open)
By Tanya Agrawal
Sept 11 (Reuters) - Wall Street opened lower on Friday as jittery investors took to the sidelines ahead of a crucial U.S. Federal Reserve meeting next week, when the central bank decides on an interest rate hike.
However, the S&P 500 was poised for its biggest weekly gain since July despite the recent volatility that has rocked the global financial market.
Stocks have been volatile for the past few weeks since China devalued its currency in August and the impact of a slowdown in the region on global growth rattled investors. The S&P 500 has had moves of at least 1 percent in 11 sessions since Aug. 20.
Investors pulled another $15.9 billion from U.S. equities over the past week as they sought safety in government bond funds, Bank of America Merrill Lynch said. Continuación...

These services promote and sustain strong health and where health is compromised, they assist in the positive management of a disability. HDMS acts as a resource for individuals and school jurisdictions through the development of programs and services that promote and sustain healthy lifestyles and healthy workplaces. When a disability is present, the HDMS team brings together the employer (usually a school jurisdiction), the employee representative (union/association), and health care professionals to support an employee's recovery, rehabilitation, and safe return to work.
The HDMS team has launched a voluntary program, the Healthy Living Program, which provides individuals with their health risk profiles. The program also creates a snapshot of group health, prompting both school jurisdictions and covered members to support a collective health focus.
Another major initiative is Early Intervention, based on employers' and employees' awareness of health in order to promote a proactive approach to injury and illness management. At the same time, it encourages a safe and timely return to work. The goal is to understand the risks that cause illness and injury, and work towards reducing those risks.
The Benefit Services team is the primary point of contact for all covered members, playing a vital role in anticipating and understanding the needs and expectations of covered members. This team embodies ASEBP's holistic approach in the delivery of all services and are the resident experts in providing the accurate information covered members need to maximize the benefits of their comprehensive coverage.
In 2009, the Benefits Team answered over 62,000 calls from covered members, and personally served over 1,500 covered members who visited the ASEBP offices.
School Jurisdiction Services (SJS) provides a central point of contact for all communications between ASEBP and Alberta school jurisdictions and employee representatives. SJS works with school jurisdictions and employee representatives to share best practices, address any gaps in communications or the provision of service, and collaborate on concerns.
The School Jurisdiction Liaisons are committed to connect with each school jurisdiction at least once per year to discuss topics centered on finance or plan design, and provide a conduit for the school jurisdictions to voice feedback to ASEBP about their benefits.
The School Jurisdiction Coordinators communicate with school jurisdictions on an operational level, and connected with school jurisdictions a total of 3,568 times last year.

X35i or x50i?
Coming from the 4.8L V-8 in my 550i M-Sport I have to think that a six cylinder turbo isn't going to have the rumble I'm used to. I know the x50i is faster and sounds better but is it really worth the extra coin? I'm pretty sure Ill be going M-Sport as that really sets BMW's off even more than they already are. Go!
Sir 1000%
i honestly think u will be returning that vehicle if u go 35
here take a look at this comparison 35 engine and 5.0
Both my vehicles:thumbup::bigpimp::angel:!
I wholeheartedly agree with the above sentiment! While the 35i is no slouch, the 50i removes any potential for suffering from Horsepower Defeciency Syndome, a quite painful condition. :rofl:
If you only test drive the 35i, you should be OK with that, but expect to want the 50i if you end up driving both. I test drove a 35i and a 50i back to back and knew immediately that I had to have the V8. One year and about 11K miles later on my 2012 50i and I've been thrilled with the engine. It drank a couple of quarts of oil this past year, but SO WHAT? It's much less oil thirsty now and has tons of power. I'm sure the M Sport is that much better.
I can honestly say that I can't think of a SUV I would want more than what I have. I know I'd have been wanting more if I'd gone for the 35i.
I have been very happy with my decision to go for the 50i. Now, if BMW could make the body/interior just a tad more vault-like and do a proper premium sound system, I'd then truly be in seventh heaven. :angel:
If you can find a 50i in your price range, do it!
i think also the 550 your coming from has a pretty stiff suspension set up naturally.
The msport one i just got is very BMW'esque as apposed to some of the standard 5.0 non sports x5 i test drove.
The suspension was a bit sloppy and loose.
There are some CPO 2011 out there and the msport editions in 2011 come standard with Adaptive Drive
u will like that:thumbup:
Definitely try to test drive one first.
50 all the way, considering what you're coming from. I just left an S4, and couldn't have done the 35 without remorse; I suspect you'd feel the same. Yes, there's a theory that says the 35 is "fast enough for an SUV," but the X5 is so composed for the segment that the bigger engine makes sense (the bigger V8 in the Merc GL, for example, is pointless, unless you're towing). Every time I get to push my new toy, I'm amazed how quick and agile it is for its size (I've got M performance, adaptive drive, and active steer as well).
I just went through this... I currently have a 35d and test drove all of them again. I ended up with the 50. I could not resist the engine and response.
The trade off is the fuel consumption.
I really wanted the 50i but couldn't stomach 12mpg. I get 21-22 mpg in the diesel with a lot of city driving.
2011's maports w 35 to 45k miles have on sale at low 50's
And 2012's with anywhere from 7 to 15k r going from $57 to $66k
That's from my six months of doing research
Some are Cpo and some r not
I feel sorry for people that need to get all their automotive desires out of one car....
I really couldn't tell that much of a difference between my 35i M Performance and a 50i M Sport I had as a loaner in the speed department, it didn't feel that much faster. It didn't have adaptive drive which probably contributed to the front end feeling heavy and it certainly didn't sound better. I'd like to try a 50i M Performance with AD because I bet it sounds and feels much different.
I'm ordering an X5 5.0 MSport tomorrow. Can't wait to have that power!
Please tell us ur options
So we can give u our pleasings and sign off on this
We still have final say sir
Read the small print
Seriously though options ?

I'm going to have this guy Don do a Carbon fiber wrap for $295 ... He got amazing reviews
So most importantly can u tell us the specifics of ur deal
I got 12% below invoice on my $77k brand new 2012 last week .
TexasBMW, since you seem to be ordering a very well equipped machine, you should at least consider ordering the somewhat secret "individual" stereo upgrade. This is a step above the pretty mediocre "premium sound" option.
I have the premium sound option and its not stellar.
I wish I had had the foresight to special order rather than search area dealers for a close fit. Wish I'd known about the uber-sound system availability too.
(option code 752)
If you plan to keep your truck for a while, the incremental cost of the upgrade is worth it, in my opinion. :thumbup:

Montana Governor Says Pipelines Will Continue To Be Built in Montana
(Billings, MT – Yellowstone Public Radio) - Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer says pipelines will continue to be part of the state's landscape -- despite a recent spill--and he hopes regulators will give a green light constructing another one.
On July 1, 2011, an ExxonMobil pipeline spilled an estimated 1,000 barrels of oil into the Wild and Scenic Yellowstone River.
TransCanada wants to build a pipeline -- the Keystone XL -- that will carry crude from oil fields in Alberta Canada, through Montana and on to Cushing, Oklahoma.
Schweitzer, a Democrat, says federal regulators will decide whether the Keystone XL pipeline becomes a reality. He added that it would be an opportunity lost, however, if the pipeline isn't built.
"The Keystone represents about 5% of the oil we use in this country. There's a lot of oil in Alberta," Schweitzer said. "I would rather buy it from our neighbors to the north than I would from petro-dictators in Africa or the Middle East."
Schweitzer spoke in Billings Wednesday to a group of landowners who have property along the Yellowstone River affected by the oil spill.
Citing the Yellowstone River oil spill, environmentalists have stepped up opposition to the Keystone XL project
An estimated 79 protesters, some affiliated with the group Rising Tide North America, some with Earth First!, demonstrated on Tuesday at the State Capitol in Helena. They demanded a meeting with Schweitzer. Eventually, the governor agreed to meet with the group in the reception room.
The meeting broke up after someone started playing a piano in the room and about a dozen protesters jumped on the large tables and began dancing and stomping their feet. Schweitzer left, and five protesters were later arrested. They pleaded not guilty in Helena Municipal Court. The protesters were released without bail Tuesday on the conditions that they remain law abiding and stay away from the Capitol.
During a public meeting in Billings the next day, Schweitzer was asked about the incident. "Well, some of the folks who don't like the Keystone are snappy dressers -- and good dancers, I found out," he quipped.
He said there will be pipelines built in Montana in the future because the state has oil and cars use it. There is a current oil boom in eastern Montana and northern North Dakota.
"Look, any new pipeline that's going to be built in Montana is going to be built to the most modern up-to-date standards," he said. He said the alternative is to transport crude and gasoline by semi trucks or trains, but those are not fail-safe either. "Through time we've found that these pipelines are probably safer than some of the other ways of moving oil and gasoline around."
Schweitzer says while no one wants breaks to occur, as long as we continue to use gasoline, citizens in some way accept that accidents can and do happen.
"And so we're going to hold this company (ExxonMobil) and other companies that have spilled oil, they understand that it's their liability. They understand that it's their mistake and they're responsible for this effort. But until we don't use oil anymore we all have some responsibility here," Schweitzer says.
ExxonMobil officials said continuing high and fast water in the Yellowstone River is hampering efforts to determine why the Silvertip Pipeline broke. The pipeline carries oil from fields in Wyoming to an ExxonMobil refinery in Billings, Montana.
During a Congressional hearing today on the pipeline break, company officials said if regulators approve, the tentative plan is to replace the Silvertip pipeline with new technology.
Pipelines are regulated by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Adminsitration (PMHSA) in the US Department of Transportation.

I would like to meet a woman who is intelligent, enjoys conversation, funny and has a kind heart. I like to start as friends and maybe we'll find out and realize we could be meant for each other.
The adventures of life are best shared.
One place I was at a house close to UCLA. The owners' party idea was to have the mother of all super bowl parties. There was the usual food, but also, cigar tasting, wine tasting, poker, football and music. It was great. I loved it.
Creative cooking. I enjoy melding unique flavors. I am a foodie. I eat at different restaurants at times. The more unique the better I like it. Especially, hot and spicy food.

Have you ever fallen prey to a small business scam? If not, consider yourself lucky: There are plenty of con artists working to separate business owners from their money, especially small business owners, who likely don't have the time and money to provide every last accounting check and balance that larger companies do. Here are some of the most common frauds to watch out for.
Fake invoice scams – Con artists know that most small businesses deal with lots of vendors and service providers — and they can take advantage of that knowledge by sending you an invoice or renewal notice for a realistic-sounding service that you've never received to begin with. Typically such invoices arrive for phantom office supplies or, more notoriously, online directory listings. In a recent case, one scam artist duped over 25,000 businesses into paying him $7 million for services they never received. To avoid falling prey to such a con, maintain scrupulous records of all of your purchases and subscriptions so you'll know when something doesn't match up.
Overpayment scams – If you're selling products, be wary if the purchaser gives you a check or makes a credit card charge for more than the amount due. In this type of con, he or she will ask you to refund the amount that's been overpaid — before you catch on to the fact that the check will bounce or the credit card is stolen. The FTC offers tips for avoiding such scenarios, which include verifying the buyer's address and contact details, and avoiding accepting checks for more than the purchase price.
Better Business Bureau scam – Recently, an email that claims to come from the Better Business Bureau has been making the rounds, with the headline "Complaint from your customers." Open the email, and you'll be directed to click on a link to see the complaint. Don't do it: The link contains malware that will steal your company's data. The real BBB has sent out an alert about this scam, with information about how to protect your information and how to identify whether a BBB email is genuine.
Domain name scams – Have you ever received an email from someone claiming to be a domain registration center, claiming that another company has applied for a domain name that infringes on your trademark? This is a common ploy to get business owners to pay for domain names they don't need — the "other company" doesn't exist. If someone sends you an email that resembles the examples shown here, don't take the bait.

Moonraker got started around 1998, when three students at Boston University -- guitarist David Moltz, bassist Khodayar Akhavi, and drummer Daniel Mintzer -- started jamming together. Deciding that they needed a vocalist, the three of them placed ads in various publications and received an enthusiastic response from Kelli Scarr, who had been a student at the Berklee College of Music and was directing a jazz quartet at the time. All of the people Moltz, Akhavi, and Mintzer had cited as influences in their ads -- Portishead, Björk, Squarepusher, and Aphex Twin, among others -- were people Scarr (who grew up in California before moving to Boston to attend Berklee) was into, and before long, she became an official bandmember and recruited keyboardist Dan "Shaolun" Chen. With that five-person lineup in place, Moonraker performed around Boston in the late '90s and early 2000s and acquired a small following in that area (where they created enough of a buzz to open for well-known artists like singer/songwriter Joan Osborne and the seminal gangsta rap innovator Ice-T). However, Moonraker didn't remain in Boston; in 2002, the bandmembers moved to New York City and made Brooklyn their new home.
After putting out a few releases themselves -- including their debut album, Nada Brahma (which sold about 3,000 copies), and a live recording titled Breathe...Live 2002 -- Moonraker signed with Immergent Records in 2003. Their first Immergent release, a self-titled CD, came out in September of that year; some of the selections had been previously heard on Nada Brahma. Immergent planned to put out another Moonraker album sometime in 2004. ~ Alex Henderson

You don't need to disable BOD completely. You can use the sleep_bod_disable function so that it only disables BOD while you're sleeping, when you're not running any code and don't need to worry about brownouts anyway. See here.

A couple of very important questions
Do either of you plan to boost your horsepower and torque with mods like flash programs, large FMIC, catless downpipes,etc?
If so both the auto and the manual transmissions have proven to take a lot more hp and torque than their rating. If you have a manual you will need to replace the clutch if you are hard on it like blasting off from a dead stop but will take a good while. Auto is just as robust and it too will wear out clutch plates.
Bear in mind that "typical" clutch life for a BMW is around 110-125K miles based on normal use. Hiway driving will extend that and city driving will hit that mark so as long as you know that will be coming up.
On the auto your life expectancy is related to how often you change the Lifeguard 6 transmission fluid. If I just purchased a 50-60K mile 335 auto first order of business is to change all the fluids. Do more research and see what will help you keep this ride healthy...

"I came on a visit to Mississippi State in the spring and I fell in love with everything about it," said Nielsen, who also considered Texas A&M, TCU, SMU, Northwestern (Louisiana), Georgia and Indiana. "I liked the family vibes that I got while visiting. And chemistry is so important to me when it comes to the team. I have always played for teams that have a lot of chemistry. It's so much more fun and you do so much better on the court."
She also came away impressed with the coaches.
"I loved the coaches because they seemed like real and genuine people," said Nielsen, who helped lead her team to a 45-3 record this past season. "They don't put on airs for you. I feel like they are genuinely nice people. I feel like it is going to be fun playing for them."
Mississippi State has upgraded their facility and Nielsen came away impressed with that as well.
"I love their facility," said the All-District performer who recorded 459 kills last season. "I have gone to some schools where it is about half the size of their facility, not that many seats. I just feel like there is going to be a lot of people there and it will be fun to play in there."
Nielsen talked about what she feels are her strengths.
"One of my strengths is having the ability to beat blockers on the other side by transitioning off the net fast," said Nielson, a member of the 2011 Greater Houston Volleyball Coaches Association Top 32 Preseason Team. "I also feel my quickness is a strength. And I feel like I'm a good team player who never slacks off."
