|Just wanted to share a quick story about how great the company that bought out Sierra is. I live in Minneapolis and am about 15 minutes from The House. I actually work about a mile or two from the warehouse & showroom (the same building). I've gone in several times recently to see the new Union Atlas in person. Every time I've gone in they say they don't have them in yet. And that's understandable, because it sounded like there was some sort of issue with all of the "Stage 3" bindings this year not shipping on time. So that's cool. On Friday after work I figured I'd swing in and see if by chance they've got 'em yet. It's been a few weeks since I've been in there so I was hoping that maybe they had 'em. So I don't see them on the display shelves yet and decide to ask somebody working there. There were two bro's working the counter and going through a box of beanies or something. I stood there for about 10-15 seconds hoping they'd maybe ask me if I needed some help. I proceeded to just say "Hey, can you check on something for me." Without even stopping, one guy's like "What are you looking for?" Told him the new Union Atlas bindings. He said they actually got them in now but he thinks they're still on the pallet in the warehouse. He told me he'd walk back and make sure. Guy comes back in about a minute and says "Yeah, they're here. They're all still on the pallet and they haven't been counted yet, so I can't touch them. I'd get in trouble if I do." Which is totally understandable. Retail is retail, and rules are rules. I get that. He says "Yeah, sorry. Come back in in a day and they'll be out for sure." So, I figured I'd wait at least a day and went in yesterday (Sunday). I walk in, go to the display bindings, and they're still not there. Okay. Couple bro's at the counter again doing whatever, and one one guy is actually helping people. Went and got some pants for somebody and came back out. I asked him if he could grab me a pair of Atlas's. He says "I'm not sure if they're here yet, but I'll check." I said "Cool." He then stops, and asks "What color?" Said "I don't care, I just wanna check 'em out." "Okay." He starts to walk away and gets a little head nod or something from the bro at the counter (kinda looked like the guy from Friday) and he's shaking his head like "No, they're not back there." So dude disappears into the back to go get them. Comes out a minute or two later and says "No, they're not here yet." I said "Like, they're completely not here or they're just not ready for the floor?" "No, they're just not here." Right...
|Yo yo. Looking for some L/XL Forces in the cyan colorway only. Preferably good condition. Will pay cash (aka, paypal) or possibly trade a pair of my Frankenbinders to get them. Depends how nice they are. Also, looking for a pair (maybe two) of the Rome Coozie gloves from I believe the 2010 season. I need at least size large, but if you can find an XL as well, I'll buy one of each. If you know of an online site that has them in stock (that I for some reason can't find) please just post a link to them. If your local shop has some on the shelf and you wanna take the time to ship them to me, I'll compensate you for your efforts. Would REALLY like to get some of these. They looka like this: PS - I'm specifically looking for only cyan Forces and the PBR style Coozie gloves. Thanks much!
|Hey all. My gf is doing a project for school and she needs a good picture of a boardshop. I came up with an idea for her new ad campaign and it involves putting a jimmy johnny (porta-potty) in the middle of a boardshop. So, I've done some google searching for a picture but none of them are what she's looking for. She's definitely gonna have to photoshop the john into there, but none of them have a big random opening where the thing would sit. The john is going to be converted into a new merchandising weapon for Airblaster's ninja suits. We're gonna decorate the thing and also make it cooled inside so you can try out the ninja suit in a cold environment, plus try out the dump truck butt flap by sitting on a fake toilet. So this non-functioning john would be put basically right in with all of the other softgoods and clothing racks and whatnot. So, if somebody can come up with a sweet picture that would be able to accomplish this task, please post it here. I (and she) will greatly appreciate it. Note - this isn't actually a new thing for Airblaster, it's just an idea we're throwing together for her school project. If she does a good job on it, maybe we'll send it in to them for the hell of it. Anywho, thanks!
|Alrighty peoples! Posted some of this stuff in the Gaper Days thread as a feeler and didn't really expect it to take off. Going to post it all here and try to keep all of the sale biz out of the other thread and save it for sweet pics. Anywho, here's what I've got. I just bought a new suit on eBay and we're cleaning out the closet to help make up for the cost. A lot of this stuff we hardly wear or haven't even worn it since we got it and I'm mentally preparing myself to send it to good homes. Talked it over with the woman this morning and we've got the details figured out. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Rules" $25 shipped per piece (possibly a little more for 1-pcs. because of weight, willing to go a little lower on the lighter weight stuff, and will probably discount for combined purchases) Shipping is to US addresses. Will consider shipping elsewhere, but prices will be higher. No Trades - Unless you've got some sweet Airblaster stuff that I or the woman are interested in. Please note - This stuff is vintage. Don't buy it expecting the performance/tech to be as good as your modern gear, hence the price. DO buy it expecting it to have a blast while looking awesome. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sizes are listed. Some pieces are women's but we did our best to name them as a men's size. All sizes listed should be considered men's. Sizes range from women's small to mens XL. I'm going to go through it all and try to put the sizes right after the brand names. Some stuff is really lightweight, others are insulated. There are a few pairs of pants mixed in and even a few onesies! If it's not obvious, descriptions go from left to right. If interested in something, please just reply on here for now. Will save the PM traffic for payment information. That way I won't get flooded with PM's and everybody looking at stuff will know right away what's been "sold". I'll also do my best to update everything that does get sold and keep it orderly. Lastly (I hope) - only thing in the pictures that we're not going to sell right now are the purple/red/blue Nevica pants in the 5th picture. Everything else is fair game. Lightweight/windbreakers (New Balance - L; Aqua Gear - L; Columbia - SOLD; Jonathan Chase - XL) More windbreakers (MVP - M, says "The Nature Place - Colorado" on the front; Columbia - XS; Breezin' - S, complete with straps to make it a fanny pack, Airblaster didn't invent that!; Windbreaker - XL, that's what the tag says) Couple heavier jackets and some pants (Columbia - S, reversible; Columbia - SOLD; Columbia - M; Sun Ice - XS, complete with a bunch of tickets from Bolton Valley and Stowe; no name on the purple ones - S, kinda like windpants actually) Heavier jackets and onesie (East West - SOLD, has some sweet "snaps" on the closure; Mixed Blues - M; Iggi - S, actually inside out in picture, looks much better this way; Cornice - SOLD) Jackets, pants, and onesie (Columbia - S, reversible; Descente - M; Nevica - not for sale; O'neill - SOLD; Shred'r -, SOLD) Jackets and onesie - (Columbia - S, reversible; Obermeyer - M; Columbia - SOLD, reversible; Snuggler - SOLD) For full size pics, check here: http://gnarpow.blogspot.com/2011/02/gaper-blowout-sale.html Also, nothing in the background is for sale, especially the 'Tussin. I currently have a cold and need it.
|Taking reasonable offers on everything. Otherwise going to start putting stuff on eBay. Need some money! (1/26) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Howdy folks. Unfortunately, times are getting (more like have been) tough here at Camp Krazylegz lately. I've got a number of things I probably wouldn't sell unless I absolutely had to, and I think it's about that time. Really hurting for money right now and could use some help. I'll try to get pictures up and update this thing rapidly as I add more things, and also as they sell. -As of right now the only trades I'll accept are money (via Paypal, or money order I guess). -First come first served, as long as you have money and are ready to pay. Items will be shipped promptly after payment is received. -If it matters, all items are from a smoke-free environment. -Shipping to US addresses ONLY, unless you plan on paying actual shipping charges for international stuff. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updates (2/11) SOLD - SLX boots, Holden pants, Skate Banana If I don't sell the Contacts by the end of this weekend, I'm trading them for some CMYK Forces. Still willing to take offers on anything else. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frank'd Contacts - L/XL - silver Contact baseplates; orange Contact footbeds, heelcups, & highbacks; Airblaster Inverter straps; Airpill ankle ratchets, Milan toe ratchets $110 shipped ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Blend Packer Jacket - XL - Brainbow Plaid Jacket is in absolutely mint condition, can't even tell it was worn. I've got several pieces of outerwear, so everything gets used very lightly and in rotation. I also take care of my stuff. First two pics are from Sierra, last two are the only ones I have of it personally (can take more if needed). Last picture is a bead of water sitting on it. The waterproofing on this thing is awesome. Jacket has tons of pockets of varying size, this comes in really handy. Also includes the removeable liner. $80 shipped (retails for $280) Sierra Says: The infamous brainbow packet jacket by special blend. Wear this during your finals and you are almost sure to succeed. Wear this on the mountain, and you are almost sure to throw down rodeo 5's and cab 1080's. This is all due to the exceptional 15k waterproofing and 10k breathability that will keep you dry and warm during any weather condition. Worried it might be too warm on sunny days? No need to fret, the jacket has a removable insulation jacket for you to decide on what days to put it on and ride.

Got them right towards the start of my gear wh0ring disease. There are a couple of what I would call scuffs on the front of the legs. It's a unique fabric, so kinda hard to describe. I'll try to get actual pics up soon. Anywho, a couple really small "spots" on the butt, most likely from chair lift seats. Really hard to see unless you look close. Lastly, a few really minor marks on the very bottoms of the legs. These things were actually long enough to come to the bottom of my feet but I did my best to keep them from dragging at all times. These are in pretty stellar condition. $60 shipped Key Features of The Special Blend Annex Snowboard Pant: 15,000mm Waterproofing / 10,000g Breathability Coated Lux Touch Dobby Nylon Waterproof Crosshatch Denim The sagproof gaiter keeps pow from shooting into the moon Sagproof Gaiter Inseam Vents Two Tier Cargos Stash Pocket 3/4" welts to protect vents Articulated knees Bootlace hook on gaiters Custom lift ticket D ring at waist Ergonomic fits Exterior quick stash pockets Fully taped seams Function and comfort designed interiors Gaiter tuck away Hip vents Inseam vents Key clip in front pocket Microfiber inner waistband Multiple venting options Pant to powder skirt snap system Reinforced cuffs Ride/relax gaiter system Side waist adjusters with back tunnel Snag-prevention tape in vents Snap gussets at pant inner hem Split adjustable boot gaiters Super DWR Waist gaiter More pics: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z4u-KMBA3fU/TSTgepxIacI/AAAAAAAAAck/xh3D7oFsIiQ/s1600/PackerAnnex2.JPG http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z4u-KMBA3fU/TSTgePrJmWI/AAAAAAAAAcc/OuyHsCK3_Jg/s1600/Annex3.JPG http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z4u-KMBA3fU/TSTgdgcj0sI/AAAAAAAAAcU/trBBOwlE0Bc/s1600/Annex4.JPG http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z4u-KMBA3fU/TSTgdXZdgZI/AAAAAAAAAcM/jVZ1C1ex8WU/s1600/Annex5.JPG ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008 Rome Design - 162 Posted on Craigslist locally this morning, as I'd rather sell locally than have to pay for shipping.

|Greetings, TruSnow Community. EMHM00 and myself made a step-by-step instructional video this afternoon on how to make a proper split board. Hope you like it! *Note - I filmed this on my GoPro and forgot that the sound setting was on Lo instead of Hi. So, you might have to turn up the volume a little to hear us talking through most of it. Worry not, the music has been adjusted accordingly.
|Actor Owen Wilson is reported to have died shortly after a snowboard accident earlier today - December 29, 2010. The actor & novice snowboarder was vacationing at the Zermatt ski resort in Zermatt, Switzerland with family and friends. Witnesses indicate that Owen Wilson lost control of his snowboard and struck a tree at a high rate of speed. Owen Wilson was air lifted by ski patrol teams to a local hospital, however, it is believed that the actor died instantly from the impact of the crash. The actor was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and drugs and alcohol do not appear to have played any part in his death. Additional details and information will be updated as it becomes available. This story is still developing About Zermatt Ski Resort - While neighboring Gstaad is one of the world's top resorts with its three five-star hotels and St. Moritz is more popular, most rank Zermatt as Switzerland's top resort. A remarkably peaceful getaway, the village is peaceful thanks to its car-free environment. Amazingly picturesque, Zermatt holds the world's second biggest lift-served vertical drop and receives huge snowfalls thanks to its altitude. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c9a_1293635666
|Alrighty folks. You've got questions? We've got answers. Well, not really. The purpose of this thread is to house every single question you can imagine. All replies MUST be in the form of a question. Whether you want to put a declarative statement as your reply and simply switch the period for a question mark is up to you. Think Ron Burgundy here. Oh yeah, and we're not answering the questions. Just asking them. I'll begin. What is the best snowboard? What are the best bindings? What bindings should I get for my 2012 Snafu Whompstick? Why do boarders hate skiers? Why do skiers look so silly while they ski? Why do skiers wear tall tees? Why does everybody hate Burton? Why doesn't everybody hate Burton? How can I get points on here? When will 2011 product go on sale? When will last year's product be 70% off again? What is your favorite song? What is your favorite music to ride to? What does *insert pro rider's name here* actually ride? Why is Phatman never wrong? Is it because he has Jesus as his avatar? What is a Bruizza? Can I trust a rockered snowboard? Has anybody ever heard of GoPro cameras? Where can I get FREE stickers? Speaking of free, does anybody have an old board I can have? Where did Guth get such a sweet beard? What can I use to wash my outerwear? When is the 2012 product coming out? What's your favorite terrain park feature? What's your favorite playground feature? What's better: PS3 or XBOX 360? Who's your favorite pro rider? What's your favorite brand? What's your favorite beer? What's your favorite style of underwear? Where is the search bar? Why is everybody telling me to use it? What jacket should I get? What pants match this jacket? Who is the best pro rider? Is Shaun White god? Why would Shaka start a two wheels discussion thread but later post a picture of a 3-wheeled vehicle?
|I spent less than 5 minutes browsing reviews this morning and found an absurd amount of crappy ones. I know this isn't really "news" around here but I think it'd be funny to have a thread dedicated to exploiting said reviews and the people behind them. If anything, it'll give everybody a good laugh at how sad some of them are. Here are a few I found this morning: "Great all around" 10/16/2010 Helpful Review? (1) Yes (3) No Name: 2011Union Force Pros: very good all around, Cons: some people might think its heavy (weight), Flex: soft Experience: When I first was decided to get the bindings, it was pretty pricey for me especially. But I heard great feedback from friends, so I went with it. I was told of the warranty on the base plate which turned me on. Also most people told me it was a binding that would last a longtime. After getting them, I felt how comfortable they were. I can't wait to start riding with them. They are a little heavy, but does not seem that big of an issue. -soldrew722 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Union Bindings" 10/25/2010 Helpful Review?

|My intentions of this thread will hopefully provide multiple purposes. A place for people to: 1. -show off their current binders and projects. 2. -get feedback and/or share ideas for current/future projects. 3. -buy/sell/trade pieces and parts to complete said projects. -I realize there's a classified section, but I figured this would get more traffic here and also keep people from making multiple "FS/WTB" threads if we keep it all in one thread With that said, post up your pictures if you've got anything cool. Mine will all be Union binders, and I'm guessing the majority of others will be the same, but that doesn't mean we have to limit it to just Union. Bring what ya brung (as long as they're not ski bindings ).
|Greetings. I've got some boots that I might put up for sale, just seeing if anybody is interested. Obviously it's going to take just the right person to buy 'em, because they're size 14's. I've used them less than 10 times. I bought two pairs of boots (these and some Forums) online before last season and definitely like the other ones better. I know about buying boots online, yadda yadda, but when you wear 14's you don't get the privelege of trying on boots in a store. You buy them on sale online and hope they fit. These fit fine, just didn't completely fall in love with them. Anywho, I can put up pictures upon request if anybody's really interested. Again, they're Deeluxe ID SCL in a 14. Speed zone lacing, removable liner, almost all black in color. Worn very few times, hardly show any wear. They came new in the box WITHOUT insoles, so I used some of my Superfeet ones that I already had. I have a pair of unused Superfeet that I could include for a small fee. They're the new red ones with the metallic strip under the toes. I tried them on for a few hours and they just seemed a little too thick for my liking. Definitely not shaped to my foot at all.
|This is easily the most ridiculosly cool video I've ever seen. It's really long but definitely worth the watch. My buddy just sent me the link and I watched it with my mouth open pretty much the whole time. I can't even imagine the time and effort put into something like this. Holy crap. The rather excellent video below is a wall-painted animation: essentially a stop-motion animation created by painting a sequence of still images on a wall and photographing them, then running the photos together into a film. It was created by the street artist Blu, who describes it as the result of "months of work and hundreds [of] buckets of paint". That's hardly surprising, given that it tries to illustrate the history of the universe since the big bang, with a particular focus on the evolution of life on Earth. It's very impressive indeed, so without further ado: BIG BANG BIG BOOM - the new wall-painted animation by BLU [tube]http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13085676[/tube] Bravo...

|Greetings, y'all. Just had a crazy idea and I'm gonna throw it out there and see if anybody's interested. Here's the scoop. Last year I bought some custom frankenbinders from eltaco. See pics below. At the time I bought them for my red/black Skate Banana. After committing to the purchase, I found a pair of Airblaster Inverters. I was forced to purchase both pairs, and these Frankenbinders quickly found a home in the closet. They didn't get used until I got a crazy deal on a used Rome Design, with a red/black theme. They look gnarly on it, but it ended up being a little too long for me, so the bindings were maybe used 3 times. They're basically brand new, and could easily pass as it. Here's my idea. I've been wanting a blue/orange poofy down Airblaster Big Sky jacket (in a size large) since the day I saw it. And even more so since I got the blaze orange Nightrider pants that match it perfectly. I'm not in the market to spend the money to buy one right now, but I've found one for relatively "cheap" on GearTrade. $119.23 + $8.75 = $127.98. Total cost of jacket w/ shipping. Anybody willing to trade straight up for these bad boys? It could either go two ways: You buy my bindings directly from me, I buy the jacket myself. Or you buy the jacket, have it shipped to me, I ship the bindings to you. Either way, the result is the same. This is a sweet deal for anybody wanting some (basically) brand new, custom Union Forces. Size is L/XL! Pics:
|I've been looking at getting a second set of binders for my newest board. I've been rocking Forces for the past couple years and love them, but I'm interested in trying some of the lighter ones like the Force SL or the new Sierra Contact SL. I've also seen that the normal Contacts are somewhat lighter as well, plus they've got the 19% binding-to-board contact area. Anywho, Kimchi was nice enough to let me borrow his Sierra Contact SL's and I'll get to try them out in a few days on my trip to MT. However, after setting them up on my board I've come across a pretty significant problem. The baseplates on the Contact SL's measure right around 4 3/4" at the widest part. My boots measure right at 5" at that spot (yeah, size 14's suck). It doesn't sound like much, but it's the difference between my boots sitting properly in the baseplates and riding on top of the two little humps where the toe straps are held in. There's no way in hell I'm gonna be able to pull off riding them without my whole boot being down on the footbed. On the Forces you can see a pretty noticeable curve in the inner/medial "wall" of the baseplate, creating that extra 1/4" that I need for my clown feet. I was wondering if the regular Union Contacts use the exact same baseplate as the Sierra ones or did they actually make a new mold for them? I'm guessing they're the same because I can't imagine it'd be cost effective to make a whole new one. So, with all of that said, I was pretty pumped to try out the whole 19% contact area thing on these bindings. I'm guessing I'm gonna have to go with the Force SL's instead then, eh?
|Greetings, y'all. The girlfriend and I are planning to go to Bozeman in early March. Coming out of MPLS our drive, if we choose to, will be 15+ hours or so. I'd most likely just rock it out in one day because that's how I do things. I'd rather just get there and get it over with. However, I've just started contemplating getting a pair of round trip tickets that would get us there in just over 2 hours. Obviously more expensive than driving, but damn is that convenient. I realize that there are no restrictions on how much stuff I can take in my car, nor do I need to worry about certain things (tools, knives, whatever). So that's a huge benefit of driving. Plus, I'd have my own car there to drive (duh). That being said, I have only flown commercially once in my life and I think it was probably 10 years ago or more. Clearly things have changed since then. What I'm mainly concerned about are the following things: -What stuff can/can't I bring with me? Screwdrivers/tools, waxing supplies, electronics, shampoo/toothpaste/etc (yeah, dumb I know, but just asking). -Will I get raped with extra charges for having a board bag with 1 or 2 boards in it, probably a duffel bag, and then my Rome backpack (carry-on?). I saw on the NWA site about extra charges for boards weighing more than 50 lbs and longer than 158 cm, and my board bag would probably trump both. -Stuff (mainly boards) getting damaged in transit. My board bag isn't hard or padded, but it should be fine as long as they don't throw it on the ground or toss it around. I feel stupid asking about the toothpaste/shampoo deal, but does that only pertain to carry on stuff? Again, I haven't flown in a long time. And when we did, I was young enough where it was basically "Alright, get your bag we're going" and that's all I had to worry about. Thanks ahead of time to anybody that can help clear the muddy waters here. Hopefully with this whole Bruizzapalooza shindig going down recently it'll be pretty fresh in people's heads.

People that abuse and ignore our laws will never be united and accepted by hard working Americans, aka illegal immigrants. I feed no sympathy for people looking for a better life at the expense of other people. If illegals had ANY courage they would march in their own homelands for change and not march here to DEMAND their wants.
I'm sure Newsday will delete this comment section from this article because nothing but censorship is practiced by anti-American Newsday, aka The Daily Immigrant.
#3 Dec 6, 2008
I didn't see anything about the two women who were killed in Jersey by illegals. A little blurb and that was it. I guess that's OK. Where is the task force there? Nothing but snoozeday stiring up the crap again. Where is Levy when you need him? Politicking for Senator? If people wanted to unite they don't need a task force.
#4 Dec 6, 2008
What's wrong with the words Snoozeday and crap??? I guess that's what they call censorship. A little sensitive aren't they?
#5 Dec 6, 2008
They did it again. The words are S-n-o-o-z-e-d-a-y and c-r-a-p. Why don't you go out of business instead of laying off 100?
#6 Dec 6, 2008
Ain't gonna happen! Snoozeday won't report it, but the top "enforcement" official in Boston just got popped for HIRING illegals and in Houston they can't even get the illegals that commit even more crimes deported!
The only was you'll start to see Snoozeday reporters complaining about illegals is if they start to see reporters getting replaced by wetbacks LOL
#7 Dec 6, 2008
let/s put this to a vote in each town on long island do you want illegals or you want illegals. if you vote no get them the hell out and if you vote yes . your just stupid. this country has to do something ,because this is going to blow up oneday big time.

Those voting FOR illegals will should their property taxes raised by 20%. Since pro-illegals are into socialistic ideas this should fit right into their agenda and they should have no complaints.
(waiting for the hypocrites to respond.)
#10 Dec 6, 2008
Nothing will ever be done about this problem as long as we elect liberals into office.
#13 Dec 6, 2008
mr levy you really turned your butt and ran like a whimp.glad bluepoint ,bayport doesn/t have this problem . you would have national guard out. what a man will do for a vote and forget about the one/s who voted for you, sissy boy.
#16 Dec 6, 2008
why in the world, are we deemed racist for the enforcement of our federal laws?
granted, this illegal immigrant's death was a hate crime & tragic however if he was deported perhaps he'd be alive.
proponets of illegal immigrants are pushing our elected officials to ignore this national problem and proclaim their amnesty how many citizens have suffered at the hands of thousands of illegal immigrants and that isn't an issue? we, as a nation, are fed up
#17 Dec 6, 2008
This county needs to address the injustices to all minorities as well.As a black, I've been asking for help for years now and have been blatently ignored.I really believe Mark Furman (L.A.P.D.)will help before suffolk county.
#18 Dec 6, 2008
Maybe snooze day has already replaced everyone with illegals.
That would explain their attitude to people breaking into the country and stealing from the legal residents of America!!
#19 Dec 6, 2008
It's not just the liberals that are selling our country out. The "conservative" republicans are just as guilty of letting these criminals steal our countries wealth because it makes even more money for their fatcat supporters.

It's a joke,who are they kidding,they just posture as if they care,

Steve Levy is a grandstanding rasist. His only concern in this entire mess is saving face, and giving the APPEARANCE of a sympathetic politican. Levy is a contributing factor in Mr. Lucero's death.

I give Levy credit for sticking up for the Long Island taxpayers. But racist? Please. If anyone is a racist it's the Hispanic civil leaders. They damn well know what every illegal doing is wrong. But as usual they're all a bunch of cowards because you'll never see them protesting in their own native land. You'll never see them step up when an illegal kills another American. Just like Sharpton. He was all over white on black crime but you never saw him rear his ugly, opportunistic head when it was black on black crime or black on white crime.
I take care of the illegals sick anchor babies. These people are taking advantage of a broken system and you'd better wake up real soon and stop falling for their racist propaganda garbage!
#23 Dec 12, 2008
It is nice to see the Eddington tag team (they swap jobs when they reach their term limits) involved with this. Heck why not step outside your offices and help take care of the streets before this happened.. ya think?
As for this paper reporting anything but left & liberal concepts. Not enough time in a day to discuss this.
I LOVE the censors they have.. people can say a few off color remarks about other posters, but when someone says boo about this paper -- you see a few asterisks instead of the non-happy words towards them? Selective reporting at it's best.
Loosing 20% of ones advertising hurts the wallet of the paper (and any publication that is supported by advertising). This could be driven by the economy, or maybe there is a rebellion happening .. interesting, very interesting.
#24 Dec 12, 2008
How about not only raise their taxes 20%, they have to house and be responsible for those illegal individuals too.
#25 Dec 12, 2008
How about a TASK FORCE to do something about the invasion of thousadns of ILLEGAL ALIENS in Suffolk ??? aren't you glad you re-elected all the PRO-Illegal Congressmen on Long Island ??? Not Pete King , he's the only one with the nerve to stand up for Americans !!! Support his Senate bid then we'll only have that BUM Schumer to worry about !!!!!

Alienware X51: Compact PC for gaming gloryPocket-lint
Alienware has entered the compact desktop market with the Alienware X51. Just a fraction bigger than an Xbox 360, the new hardware packs a top end Nvidia graphics card and more than enough processor grunt to run the latest games.
Conventional small desktop units, usually designed for the living room or as a cheap family PC, usually use laptop components or lack any gaming capabilities. Alienware has used its gaming expertise to fit an easily upgradeable hardware setup into an extremely small box.
Featuring a more discreet approach to Alienware's usual over the top hardware, the X51 is more suited to those who want something stylish they can lay out in the living room, but that the kids can game on if need be. Unlike Alienware's top end desktop hardware it is also priced in differently, being a much more affordable piece of kit at around £750. This makes the PC around £150 more than regular compact desktops but the X51 can run games like Battlefield 3 smoothly at 1080p.
An Alienware spokesperson explained to Pocket-lint that "people into gaming are being restricted by the form factor of some hardware". The theory is that those who enjoy a game from time to time will like the way the X51 can sit inconspicuously in their setup. Like the PlayStation 3, the PC is also dual-orientation, being able to stand either vertically or horizontally.
Inside the X51 is a choice of Sandy Bridge processors, starting out at an i3 and going up to a i7 2600. There is either a Nvidia GeForce GT 545 or more expensive GTX 555 to manage graphics and up to 8GB of RAM. Connectivity-wise, expect built in HDMI 1.4, 4x USB 2.0 slots, 2x USB 3.0, Ethernet and a full set of speaker connectors. Alienware has also thrown in its AlienFX lighting, allowing you to re-enact a small disco in your living room.
We will have more on the X51 when we get a play with it. From the pics alone we are excited, the base model is averaging 30fps on Battlefield 3 at high settings, quite an achievement for such a small piece of kit.
See below for a few more pics of the X51 including one of it next to the Aurora, which should give you a better idea of its size.

Sorry, this is not awkward. It is awesome.
At least is isn't the new trend of the bridesmaids tucking the dress in their underwear to show thier butt cheeks in the picture. That is tacky. This is just silly!
I can't get past how over exposed this photo is… 🙁
I like it. The thing about wedding photos is there will be hundreds of them, hopefully something to please everyone. I think with the well-placed flowers it's a fun shot. It doesn't need to be taken so seriously and they probably have plenty of other serious shots they can enjoy. I only shoot the occasional wedding but always try to get some whimsical shots of some kind in there for balance.
Yikes! I see too much more than I want to.
I see Paris, I see…..
Criss Cross says Jump!
I love this photo! Such expressions of glee and fun! Much better that all those regimented lined up by height, formal poses where nobody knows quite how to smile. THIS is the photo they will look back on in 20+ years and smile all over again. I always try to get a jumping shot whenever I do weddings, families or individual portraits.
Have taken a few like this because it was requested…I bet this is one of the bride's favourite pics though LOL
I hate wedding photographers. Mine was told at least a dozen times not to ask me if I wanted a father/daughter dance. My dad had just died. He basically ruined the wedding. I'm going to go give him another bad review on Yelp.
why would you come to this page to whine about your ruined wedding?
because this was a trigger. She's grieving. Give her a break.
As a pro wedding photographer, I hate this trend too. I never do this shot, but if I ever do, I hope it turns out as cringe-worthy and awkward as this 😀
That girl got some height!
How about demanding a recreation, say, 20 years later, heehee 🙂
My wedding photographer made us do this almost 20 years ago. It looked awful. I may still have the picture.
*I just spit my coffee* lmao
Guess which one will catch the bouquet?
Looks like spring is in full bloom.
Wedding picture or Cirque du Soleil performance? Either way I'm sure everyone had a great time!
Yeah, the jumping photo is not suited to all dresses or body styles. Can't go wrong with the looking up at the photographer in a tree when dealing with more corpulenet models (it makes their faces look slimmer), or the walking toward the photographer while arm in arm while chatting and giggling with each other. Putting a bouquet in one's crotch is never suited to any occasion, dress, or body style.
The point is that the picture is funny. Thanks for trying to ruin that Debby Downer.
But I absolutely love the one next to her in red dress. With her hand up waving, she really does look as if she is taking off in flight 🙂
I was in my brother's wedding last spring. I am 32, the rest of the girls were 25 and wanted to do a jumping picture. Luckily, I had just had a baby via c-section so I quickly put a stop to that. Seriously, who wants to jump up in the air wearing a strapless, short dress? I hate this trend.
I also agree. As a photographer, I only make kids jump during shoots when theyre with other kids and playing. Besides, you can jump easily on the cement in most wedding shoes and the heels get caught in the ground on the "lawn". Male photographers USUALLY have no experience in that. Not everyone lands like angels on clouds. lol
No Zoom?
Oh, no she didn't!
What a bunch of pose-ys.
I think instead of "cheese", the photographer said "leap frog"!
Let's all take a moment and be thankful for the well-placed bouquet.
That was my first thought…
Haha my thoughts exactly
In your defense, it was her choice to assume the Leap Frog position while in a dress.
[…] 7. A wedding day will make you JUMP JUMP! […]

Took my oldest son to Ricketts Glen, it was the first time he got to see all the falls. It wasn't the best day for photography though. Water was running low and there was more sun than clouds. And the wind....whew... I did take this shot of B. Reynolds though. My son was a real trooper given it was the most he had ever hiked in a day.

Life is an invite to all to forget the mortality of it and everything it is made of in admiration of immortality that we attribute to every aspect of its existence.
The only ones who deserves to be attributed immortality if at all is "Our Families", the ones we have and the ones we create!
Definitely not what I always project to be!
I am scared of people loving me the way I love them, and so I pretend to be the one who would invite hatred at times. Its a kind of balance mechanism for the ones to whom I find myself closely attached with. That's selfish, as for one I cannot stand reciprocation of the quality and quantity of Love I hold, and second, I am scared as reciprocation is a guarantee because I am a complete "Fall in Love" material.

The Phillips Curve Now and Then
This paper describes the development of the "triangle" model of inflation, which holds that the rate of inflation depends on inertia, demand. and supply. This model differs from most other versions of the Phillips curve by relating inflation directly to the level and rate of change of detrended real output, and by excluding wages, the unemployment rate, and any mention of "expectations." The model identifies the ultimate source of inflation as nominal GNP growth in excess of potential real output growth and implies that a policy rule that targets excess nominal GNP growth is an essential precondition to avoiding an acceleration of inflation, Any residual instability of inflation then depends on the severity of supply shocks. The textbook and econometric versions of the triangle model were developed simultaneously in the mid-1970s. Since then there have been two empirical validations for the U. S. of the model as estimated a decade ago. First, the "sacrifice" ratio of cumulative output loss relative to the decline in inflation during the business slump of the early 1980s was predicted accurately in advance. Second, the natural unemployment rate implied by the model's estimates predicted in advance the slow acceleration of inflation that occurred in began in 1987, when the unemployment rate fell below 6 percent.

|Restricting UNIX Users
by Anton Chuvakin, Ph.D.
last updated May 1, 2002
Stories of cruel system administrators oppressing poor users have been around since the rise of UNIX in the 1970s. Users are inherently limited in what they can do on a UNIX system due to file permissions, passwords and other standard UNIX controls. However, it is often necessary to further restrict system users in other ways, both to protect them from themselves and to protect the system from the malicious or overly "playful" users. This article will discuss ways in which security administrators can limit what users are able to do on a UNIX system, with a particular focus on Linux. Both local and remote users will be considered. However, restricting root users from doing things on the system (while possible) is a somewhat different story and will not be addressed in detail here.
Limiting what users can do is also a good method preventing "insider attacks", which account for majority of losses from infosec-related incidents. (According to the annual CPI/FBI survey, 59% of companies surveyed said they have had one or more attacks reported internally. Almost 8% of those companies reported 60 or more internal incidents. The survey is available here. Great perimeter defenses and network IDS will not stop the console user from wreaking havoc upon a system. Furthermore, organizational security policies might call for increased restrictions for end-users in order to reduce the IT management costs.
Objectives of Restricting Users
It is important to keep in mind the *purpose* of imposing a particular restriction on system users. Different environments imply different goals, which will require different tools to be used. For example, "saving" casual users from "complexities" of the UNIX shell is a different problem from keeping a determined expert attacker from exploiting a buggy SUID binary. In addition, a different degree of restriction might be needed for different environments, such as only allowing certain applications or only denying certain applications. Curiously, the latter is often futile since there are simply too many ways to break loose, just like a "default-allow" policy for the firewall usually provide only little security.
File Permissions
Let's start from the weakest limitation one can impose: use of UNIX permissions. In fact, it is probably sufficient for most environments. While seemingly inflexible, permissions allow control over what binaries users can execute. If all binaries except the ones that need to be executed by the untrusted users are not world executable, and all user-writable partitions such as
Linux file attributes, such as immutable, append-only, and others belong to the same groups of controls; they are, however, more useful to restrict root somewhat.
Permissions through PAM
Another simple (and weak) restriction of a different kind can be implemented via Linux system resource limits. It will prevent users from hogging system resources (disk space, RAM, CPU cycles), both in the case of abuse (fork bomb, mail bomb) or accidents (program fills the disk, spawns too many child processes, etc). Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) can be used to impose resource limits. There are many guides available for doing this, such as chapter 5.15 of Securing and Optimizing Linux: RedHat Edition - A Hands-on Guide and Using Pam by Dave Wreski. For overview of PAM see the SecurityFocus articles Pluggable Authentication Manuals, Part One and Part Two. The summary is shown below:
Limits for all users (apparently, except "root"):
File: /etc/security/limits.conf * hard core 0 * hard rss 10000 * hard nproc 100
Shown above are limits for the size of core files, resident memory for the process and number of owned processes. "Hard" limits cannot be changed by the user, while "soft" can.
and for the specific group "lusers":
@lusers hard core 0 @lusers hard rss 2000 @lusers hard nproc 200 @lusers hard fsize 100000 @lusers hard nofile 100 @lusers hard cpu 10 @lusers hard priority 5 # same as "nice -n 5" on all processes
(in addition, maximum file size, number of open files, maximum CPU time and process priority are set)
Also, adding a line to the file
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
It should be noted, that PAM allows even more granular restrictions to be created. The RedHat whitepaper Enhanced Console Access outlines using PAM to limit (or, rather, to selectively enable) user's access to devices, X Windows applications, shutdown functionality and other privileges for console and remote users.
Restricted Shell
The next degree of limitation is to be a restricted shell. In this case, a version of a normal bash shell will prevent users from changing the directory and environment variables, redirecting output, running commands with absolute pathnames, using exec command and some other actions. Restrictions are not enforced for shell scripts. See
To test
# adduser luser # ln -s /bin/bash /bin/rbash # echo "/bin/rbash" >> /etc/shells # chsh -s /bin/rbash luser # cd ~luser # su luser $
and then:
$ cd / rbash: cd: restricted
Menu-Based Shells
Another solution is a custom application that only provides access to selected system resources. UNIX menu-based shells fall into this category. Let's look at several such solutions. Pdmenu provides a curses-based color interface for launching applications under Linux. It can safely be used as the user's log-in shell and only allows access to specified console applications such as mail or Web browser. It can also launch an application and then present the output to the user, such as
Flash is another menu-based Linux, using older and somewhat less-refined interface. It provides similar functionality with menus, commands and hot-keys.
These shells work on remote users (connected via SSH or telnet) and local users not using an X Window system.
Leaving the convenience features of those applications aside, let's concentrate on the extra security they might provide. If used as log-in shells, they limit user to only running applications that can be chosen from the menu. Provided that the normal shell (such as
Similar to
Another way to restrict users is to confine them to a certain directory via chroot. It does provide a degree of security in case that some conditions are met. For more details, see my analysis of chroot security Using Chroot Securely. Briefly, if there is no way to get root privileges within chroot-ed directory, chroot does provide effective security. To prevent users from getting root within the chrooted directory, the set of application present within their jail should be carefully selected.
Combining restricted shell with a chroot protection increases the security of the whole set-up by providing defense in-depth. If the user manages to break out of the confines of the restricted shell, they would still end up in a directory without a method to get extra privileges. If chroot directory is well designed, the only thing gained after the breaking out is an ability to modify a command line for the allowed applications and not much else.
Moving outside of Linux realm, FreeBSD's jail command (described in detail at Chapter 12 of the FreeBSD Developers' Handbook, The Jail Subsystem) is a significant enhancement of simple chrooting. Jail is a great way to impose restrictions on remote users. Using both user-level and kernel-space code, jail creates a better confinement than simple chroot call by also restricting inter-process communication, network connectivity and some other system calls.
Kernel-Based Capabilities
Now let's turn to more serious security measures to further restrict users - kernel based capabilities. As outlined in the SecurityFocus article Linux Kernel Hardening, several Linux security kernel patches implement mandatory access controls and role-based security. Using this functionality, one can take away almost any user access rights in various combinations. For example, LIDS kernel patch can prevent a user from binding network sockets, using or even seeing certain files, devices and processes, changing ownership of files and using other UNIX functions.
GRSecurity kernel patch (described in detail in the SecurityFocus article Grsecurity) also has features to restrict users.
Admittedly, kernel-level protection is not fun to configure, unless one is into tweaking multiple ACL lists and tracing applications for allowed system calls. It is also not something that will work out of the box, since there will always be some heavy customization required. Kernel-level protection is the most difficult or even impossible to bypass, provided it is configured properly.
Overall, below the method usability summary is provided.
Breaking Out of Various Restrictions
Now it is time to touch upon the breaking out of various protective mechanisms.
First, let's look at the restricted shell. There are simply too many ways things can go wrong: modifying environment variables (such as EDITOR, VISUAL, and others unlocked by
A well-written menu shell is a significant improvement. The "breaking focus" is now on the applications that are being launched from the menu shell. The problem lies in the fact that many UNIX console applications have a shell escape. Examples include pine (Ctrl-Z), vi (:!'bash'), ftp (!), telnet (!), emacs (M-x shell), gdb (shell) and many others. (figures in brackets are the commands that invoke a shell.) It is interesting to note that some of the applications will spawn a new copy of restricted shell and some will use regular
Even if the launched application does not provide for shell escape, one can crash the application using the overflow shellcode (
For methods to break out of chroot, see Using Chroot Securely. However, breaking out of well-written menu-shell, which only launches source-audited application all running in well-designed chroot environment, appears to be impossible.
Kernel-level protection is the closest to being unbreakable, if not for the bugs in the kernel security patch code (LIDS had a serious bug earlier this year) or configuration errors. The "good news" for the attackers, is that configuration errors are likely, due to complexity of the typical rule setup.
In addition, many scenarios in which the need to restrict shell users appears can be solved using a different technology. For instance, shell e-mail users can be moved to Web mail application and Web site editors can be given a CGI application to update their pages. Some virual hosting solutions operate this way.
To conclude, many tools are available to restrict what users can do on a Linux system. Depending upon business requirements and other needs, one is able to choose the right combination of security and functionality. As usual, there is a trade-off between security and ease of set-up and use.

Re: How do I go from Blanes to Figueres
It's 80Km from Blanes to Figueres. I can't find any direct bus line. You can take a taxi to Maçanet/Massanes (19 Km) and there a train to Figueres. There are trains every hour or so.
Hopefully someone can give you an easier/cheaper option.

Apple, Facing iOS 8 Update Issues, Tells Users New Fix Is Coming Soon
Apple quickly pulled back a flawed iOS 8 update it had released on Sept. 24 and is now working on a replacement update for users. The update, iOS 8.0.1, caused a loss of cellular service for many users.Apple says it is working to come up with a replacement iOS 8 update "in the next few days" to remedy a flawed update, iOS 8.0.1, that was briefly available on Sept. 24, but which caused serious device problems for many users of the company's latest iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones. New iPhone 6 devices that got the errant update lost the ability to make cellular calls and also lost their Touch ID functions, making life difficult for their owners. The update was quickly pulled back and removed from Apple's available downloads. In the meantime, until a properly working update is soon released, Apple has unveiled a fix for devices that were disabled by the errant update by advising users to take several manual steps to undo the update's effects. "We have a workaround for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users who lost cellular service and Touch ID functionality today after updating to iOS 8.0.1," an Apple spokesman told eWEEK via email, in response to an inquiry about the ongoing issues. "Affected users can reinstall iOS 8 through iTunes. We apologize for the great inconvenience experienced by users, and are working around the clock to prepare iOS 8.0.2 with a fix for the issue, and will release it as soon as it is ready in the next few days."
The workaround, issued through Apple support, tells iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users that they can repair the loss of cellular service and the inability to log in to their devices through Touch ID by reverting back to the original, week-old version of iOS 8. First, users must connect their iPhone to a computer that is running the latest version of Apple iTunes, then back the phone's contents up to iTunes on a PC or Mac. Users should note that iCloud backups won't restore to earlier versions, including iOS 8.0, according to Apple.

a quick scan through MC casual will deliver
in a more general sense, more "classic"-oriented blogs and stores are now enforcing raw denim as the "edgy" alternative for casual trouser... actually this has been happening for sometime but I kinda get a feeling that more and more consumers bought into this thinking that the raw denim, being stiffer and darker in colour, fit the "edgy" bill- while actually after fade and wear they will turn into, well, blue faded jeans. the fits are usually very 'rigid' and 'neat'; tucking plaid shirts into the raw denim, then cuffing them neatly with almost dress trousers cuffing length obsession, then wearing shoes perceived, or told by others, as "more casual in the dress shoes hiearachy" such as brown chiseled brogues, brown monkstrap, or wholecuts(!!). while actually I think raw denim should be approached with regards to its final outcome which is a soft, relaxed, and nicely fitting garment (e.g. just stack the leg opening rather than being fussy with the cuff or the hem length).... indeed, I now I understand that jeans can be so hard to get for some people.post #71436 of 1090531/14/13 at 11:52amWait, are you telling me some people have a different approach to blue jeans?post #71437 of 1090531/14/13 at 12:31pm
A traditional silhouette is an outline drawing or a profile portrait cut from black paper. The word arose in the late 1700s when Etienne de Silhouette, French minister of finance, imposed higher taxes on the upper classes during the Seven Years War. Because painted portraits were too pricey and photography hadn't been invented, these profile cut outs were an inexpensive way to immortalize a face. At the time, Silhouette's name was synonymous with anything made cheaply, but for these paper portraits the name stuck to this day.

Have any of you guys seen the page "horses do not exist" on facebook?
Originally started as a joke on the swedish version of the page (hästar finns inte), where it stated in it's description that "we believe in the science of horse being a fruit that does not exist", then BOOM, some month later the page had over 100 000 likes (now they're at ~237k), with interviews and what not (and naturally, hundreds of people on the page raging about the page and saying that horses do exist and that the people who have made the site should be ashamed of themselves and do something with their lives and don't be so stupid etc etc...)post #71441 of 1090531/14/13 at 2:32pmZamb said something about how we couldn't really empirically verify that horses truly exist. Was a cool thesispost #71442 of 1090531/14/13 at 2:34pmpost #71443 of 1090531/14/13 at 2:37pmIt sounds like Zamb needs to get hit in the face with Karl Popper.post #71444 of 1090531/14/13 at 2:43pmPopper's stance has it's own issues, the chiefest of which being that science (as practiced by scientists) does not work the way he'd like it to.
TBH I have nothing to say about the thesis without knowing what Zamb means by "empirically verify" and "truly exist".post #71445 of 1090531/14/13 at 2:49pmI mean, think about it...what is a horse?Return HomeBack to Forum: Streetwear and Denim

Following on from the phenomenal success of NECRONOMICON comes ELDRITCH TALES. Howard Phillips Lovecraft died at the age of 47, but in his short life he turned out dozens of stories which changed the face of horror. His extraordinary imagination spawned both the Elder God Cthulhu and his eldritch cohorts, and the strangely compelling town of Innsmouth, all of which feature within these pages. This collection gathers together the rest of Lovecraft's rarely seen but extraordinary short fiction, including the whole of the long-out-of-print collection FUNGI FROM YOGGOTH. Many of these stories have never been available in the UK! Stephen Jones, one of the world's foremost editors of dark fiction, will complete the Lovecraft story in his extensive afterword, and award-winning artist Les Edwards will provide numerous illustrations for this must-have companion volume to NECRONOMICON.

There are no contaminants on board or treatment used on the unit that will prevent marine growth, and as there are no moving parts under the water line it is safe for marine life to move in and around the device. The device acts in a similar way to a natural sea cave and is expected that the impact on the local flora and fauna will be minimal, if not beneficial by acting as an artificial reef and encouraging growth.
The devices will be deployed at distances that are far enough offshore to have minimal visual impact in its surroundings and standard industry level noise emissions that will pose no threat to marine mammals or birds.
We hope to play a significant role on contributing to reducing Australia's carbon footprint and meeting the Federal Government's Renewable Energy Target.

Is St. George the Most Underrated Spot in the Southwest?
@blatant: I actually live right near Pima Canyon tail head. Yes, the trailheads get busy, but I've road National end-to-end the past two weeks and see almost nobody after a few miles in. Zero riders on the west end of S. Mtn.

Is St. George the Most Underrated Spot in the Southwest?
I would agree that St. George is a top-notch riding place that gets surprisingly little traffic. However, given that it's a small community and not particularly wealthy, I don't think there's a fear it will ever be overrun by too many mountain bikers. The same is true of Las Vegas (few have any idea how many trails have been built in just the past two years there!). Heck even the relatively famous South Mountain in Phoenix is never very busy.

1Question - What's The Biggest Game Changer In The Next 10 Years?
I think e-mtn-bikes have the potential to greatly harm trail access for pure-human powered biking. The only thing I can do is vote with my dollars: any company that produces an e-mtn-bike and any shop that sells an e-mtn-bike is on my blacklist. No, e-mtn-bikes are not just another new tech such as disc-brakes or suspension forks once where. I absolutely love trying out the latest technologies on my bikes just so long as they are 100% human powered!

If I had such nice handwriting, I'd show it off too. Unfortunately, my writing looks the same as it did in third grade. Cool idea and nice writing.

How to Buy Investment Diamonds
Among all gemstones, diamonds are perhaps one of the best in terms of investment. Unlike all other commodities like gold, silver, copper etc diamond prices have advance upward steady since the depression. But diamonds also have their weakness like all other investments therefore learning how to buy investment diamonds is essential.
Without going into the much debated reasons of whether investing in diamonds is good or bad.
We will move on to how to buy investment diamonds that will yield the best results.
- If you want investment diamonds stay away from retailers instead buy as close to the source as possible although it is very unlikely that you will be able to buy directly from the DTC (Diamond Trading Company), buying from wholesalers/dealers is your best option when buying investment diamonds.
- Although high quality diamonds such as D color and IF clarity may make good investment sense when viewed in term of dollar figures they do suffer from low liquidity. Generally lower quality diamonds such as those falling within the H range for color, VS2 clarity are easier to sell thus mitigating the low liquidity of diamonds to an extend. But remember diamonds do not make good short term investments.
- Generally diamonds with greater that 1 Carat make better investment diamonds. Also this is often overlooked, but the carat of the diamond is also an important factor when it comes to investment diamonds. This is because a full carat 1.0 tends to show a greater appreciation in price terms over time that of a 0.98 carat..
How to Buy Investment Diamonds
- Always buy diamonds with a diamond grading report either from GIA, AGS, IGI or other well recognized labs. These reports will serve as a guarantee for the quality of the diamonds you intend to sell thus you can negotiate for a better price for your investment diamonds when you decide to cash in.
- The type of diamond cut also play a significant role in investment diamonds. The price for Princess Cut Diamond has steeply risen in recent times due to its growing popularity however as seen in the past most of the different types of cuts tend to go out of fashion again resulting in a fall in the prices. However the Round Brilliant Cut has remained stable and is thus favored as an investment diamond.
The best investment reason in diamonds is because of it very high value per unit weight. This makes them unarguably the most efficient in storage and transport. Another good reason is the launch of an online exchange DODAQ (Dealers Organization for Diamond Automated Quotes) for polished diamonds in 2009 by Dutch bank ABN Amro. This has solved one of the major issues of lack of a terminal market in diamonds. Also the scaling down of production by DeBeers announced sometime back as more mines are running out of their production life than the new diamond mines are coming on-line, this will only push up diamond prices in the near future. Therefore learning how to buy investment diamonds and investing in diamonds now is a good time.
