Brand History
Clair Omar Musser was a gifted marimba performer, conductor, composer, and marimba designer. He was even trained as an aircraft engineer. In 1930, he became the chief engineer and designer for the JC Deagan Mallet Instrument Company and in 1948, left to start the Musser Mallet Company in the Chicago area.
Musser created the modern Vibraphone design and expanded the line into marimbas, xylophones, chimes, and orchestra bells. It would grow to become the most dominant mallet instrument company in the world.
In 1956, Musser sold his business to Lyons Band in Chicago. A few years later it was sold to Dick Richardson who grew the company further by creating a partnership with the Ludwig Drum Company to distribute products through the same sales team. During this era, jazz vibe legend Lionel Hampton became a major influence for the Musser Company.
In 1965, Ludwig acquired Musser creating a "Total Percussion" company with mallet instruments and drums. Artists like Gary Burton arrived on scene and elevated the Musser brand to new heights.
With a potential shortage of rosewood used to make bars for xylophones and marimbas in the 70's, Musser would be the first to develop a synthetic bar material made from Kelon ®, a special blend of fiberglass strands. This innovation allowed instruments to be used in outside weather elements in drum corps and marching bands.
In 1981, Ludwig Musser was sold to the Selmer Company. Production of Musser mallet instruments continued to be made in LaGrange, Illinois outside of Chicago until 2013 when production was moved to Elkhart, Indiana. Musser today is known as the choice for "sound" by professionals.

Comments about extra firming booster:
This is a great product. I use it under my moisturiser and it gives my face a more "uplifted" look. A few drops are enough.
Comments about extra firming booster:
I am onto my third bottle. This product has taken years off my skin. Skin looks hydrated and peachy. For the first time I can leave the house without make up on.
Comments about extra firming booster:
Disappointed...So far does nothing to improve my firmness
Comments about extra firming booster:
One of my FAV go-to products. This definitely helps in the fight to firm... I remember seeing results within the first couple days of when I started using!!
Comments about extra firming booster:
This firming booster is like nothing I've tried before. It is worth every penny and
more. I use it directly on my face and neck after I spritz with toner. Then I use
my serums, then the magic begins. You can put a few drops in your eye cream,
face and neck cream. The nice thing is you may use it in any brand that you
happen to use for your skin type. It really works on all skin types and all facial
brands. You can feel the wonderful tightening and firming action. I love . Please
try the firming booster and see for your self. Its a good thing!!
Comments about extra firming booster:
I have been thinking about this product for a very long time but I wasn't sure if I should buy it because I didn't think it would really work. After hearing good feedback from others I finally purchased it, and I am so glad I did. I have been using it for about 4 months now.
I love this product. It feels great and goes on smooth; it doesn't leave any residue on your face; It is so light that I don't even feel it. Yet it delivers anti-aging benefits. I have been noticing that my skin is getting even better with the use of this product especially under my eyes. The skin is looking younger and feels firmer to the touch. I can't believe it but it is true.
Also, if you put it on right after you spray your face with hydro mist, a little will go a long way. I think that the product is a bit expensive but it's so worth it. I highly recommend this product to anyone as I think it could be incorporated into anyone's skin care regiment.
Comments about extra firming booster:
i was first introduced to this by my facialist, who brought a glowing report back from her training with this brand that was new to both of us. I was sold just by the name alone: it sounded so absolutely perfect:EXTRA FIRMING BOOSTER. It fully delivers on its promise to firm, smooth and restore moisture levels. I nominate this amazing product for the GOLD, SILVER AND BRONZE prizes! It's that good!
Comments about extra firming booster:
All the boosters are great, but this one is the king or queen of the hill. It has so many uses and I have used it directly on my sagging neck, and was really impressed watching a client use on the back of her hands. I have dropped a few drops in my moisturizer and eye cream, when I am needing to turn up the volume with firming powers. I love this product.
Comments about extra firming booster:
We all love it when a product does what it says and this one delivers! You get that immediate flash firming action on the skin but the longterm effects are what makes me continue buying this product. I love applying this in the morning under my moisturizer for all day firmness.

'"We're not a young team but we are continuing to develop this group of players, pushing hard for them to grow together," Regier said. "If you lose players, you have to buy players, but our philosophy is that, when possible, we look to build this team from development. We're still at the age as a team whether it's a Thomas Vanek, or a Derek Roy or a Jason Pominville, these players still have upside to their game. They haven't hit their plateaus yet and we think they'll continue to get better."'

flask, or other container and squirt them in measured amounts into another flask, test tube, or other vessel.
Microbiologists use inoculating loops or swabs principally to inoculate petri plates with microbial cells. Loops are thin pieces of metal shaped into a small loop at one end.
To inoculate a plate, a microbiologist would first sterilize the tip of the swab or loop. Then he would dip or rub the loop over a contaminated surface or in a prepared sample. He then brushes the tip of the swab or loop across the nutrient agar in a plate in a series of zig-zag patterns. The zig-zagging causes microbial cells to be laid down in smaller clusters, allowing distinct and separate colonies to grow.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Shotty, Jul 2, 2013.
That's why he hired Mo Cheeks to coach.
Who would you have hired?
Dr. J or Andrew Toney.
This time last year everyone was talking about Shabbazz being the next absolutely cannot miss star who everyone needs to tank for. Have a look how that has turned out so far. Who is to say Wiggins or any other of the prospects are going to be as good as advertised when the college season is over after every scout and media personality dissects his and all the other prospects games over a full year. Also who says each of them come out and declare. What if Wiggins or Parker decide they don't want to declare after one season. Sullinger stayed, Barnes stayed, Smart stayed. These were all guys who were sure to come out after one season and were guaranteed top 5 picks. Tanking and entire season for a remote possibility of getting a star player is almost always suicide for a franchise. Welcome to the forum though
If we only win 20 games next season then I don't know if I can follow this team anymore. Its been a grueling 5 years. Do we even get a draft pick anyway? When is that Gordon trade pick due. Thing that I am discouraged about is the high prices FA'a are going for this year. In that regard we may be better served passing and paying whatever fine there is for being so far under the cap. Better that than taking on a crippling contract. Then go from there. But with what we have and a better coach we should be close to .500 which will make the Pistons look like more of an up and comming team. Maybe then we can get someone good for a reasonable price.
If that is the case you just sign up guys for big time one year contracts to make up the difference.
The 2014 pick is top-8 protected. The 2015 pick is top-1 protected.
Do you see why CV and Stuckey have at least a little bit of value?
I have never said that they have no value. I just don't really like them as players. In fact I have made the point elsewhere that you don't amnesty chuckles until you have replaced his salary/upgraded the position. However, I think that Stuckey is a far bigger problem than BoT in terms of hurting the team. At least CV can produce at his position and get hot from the arc. Stuckey can contribute significantly to the progression of scientific experiments at CERN.
Thanks, so they will probably pass on 2014 and we lose 2015. Hope we are good by then.
They can't choose to pass.
It should be called The Tim Tebow Rule.
Stuckey Imperative
If its pick 9 or above then we get to choose to give it to them or wait until 2015? Yes I think that's how the Memphis pick worked too when we got Darko.
If it's 9 or worse, they get it. Otherwise we get it, in which case the next year if it's 2 or worse, they get it, otherwise we get it, and the agreement ends. Both teams are locked in, no one gets to choose.
All big fishes from pond gone. Wake me up next year.
Wake up raxrets!
How did you wake him up like that over the internets?
I told the NSA about him.
Remember when you told the NSA about buddahfan? Haven't heard from him since.... Have a nice day.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Arsène Wenger's side face Bradford City in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday, so to find out more we asked tactical expert Michael Cox and local journalist Simon Parker for their views.
Arsenal will face a classic lower league challenge when they travel to Bradford City for the Carling Cup quarter-final, but Bantams boss Phil Parkinson is a good manager, and will have an appropriate strategy prepared.
Parkinson's usual formation is a straightforward 4-4-2, but he's also experimented with a diamond midfield this season. Against Arsenal, we could see a hybrid of the two systems - a standard four-man midfield, but with the wide players playing very narrow, to limit Arsenal's dominance of possession in the centre.
Nathan Doyle - who played against Arsenal in the Premier League as a Hull City player - will try to prevent Arsenal's advanced midfielder finding space between the lines, while Gary Jones is also a fierce tackler. That said, the two are both competent passers, so Arsenal must not expect to be facing pure scrappers.
Up front, Bradford's strike duo is likely to be James Hanson and Nakhi Wells, a typical lower league partnership: Hanson is 6ft 4in and the target for aerials balls, while Wells is a smaller, quicker player capable of sudden powerful shots, in the mould of Jermain Defoe. Expect long balls and flick-ons, and Arsenal must be quick to the second balls.
Parkinson often sets his teams up with a solid shape, before attempting to win the game from the bench in the second half.
His substitutions are impressively brave and frequently successful - at the weekend, for example, he switched to a three-man defence late on, with striker Adam Connell replacing centre back Carl McHugh, and Connell hit the winner with a fine volley in the 1-0 victory over Torquay.
That is classic Parkinson - and although his players may tire against a top-flight side, he'll use the bench to change the balance of his side.
Arsenal start as strong favourites, of course, but Bradford boast a solid midfield, a reliable strike partnership, a tactically-astute manager, and have only lost once in their last 11 games. This could be a tricky fixture.
It's Bradford's first quarter-final for 24 years and is the biggest game for the club since their relegation from the Premier League in 2001. It's a huge game for them and could be their biggest crowd since 1960 - with around 23,500 tickets being sold.
Bradford have been playing really well recently. They are a solid side with a lot of experience. This will be their 31st game of the season and Phil Parkinson has managed his squad very well. There were fears that the distraction of a cup run could affect their league form, but they've managed to carry on winning games. The ultimate priority is of course to get out of League Two and they are in quite a good position to do that at the moment.
Parkinson will change the formation occasionally, but Bradford are probably at their best when playing in a 4-4-2, and Nahki Wells will be a real handful for the Arsenal defence. He possesses real pace and anticipation and has struck up a good partnership with James Hanson, who's more of a target man. Wells can finish with both feet and has 14 goals already this season.
I think it will be quite a close game. It's going to be freezing cold and the pitch is going to be hard. Arsenal to win 3-1.

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - The University of Richmond Spiders baseball team dropped a back-and-forth Atlantic 10 conference game to Xavier on Sunday afternoon, 7-5, in 10 innings at Pitt Field. With the loss, Richmond falls to 16-13 on the season and to 3-3 in conference play. Xavier improves to 13-18 overall with the win and to 4-2 in league action.
Junior Jacob Mayers had a stellar day at the plate for the Spiders on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, and five RBIs. Senior Chris Cowell had a pair of doubles on the day, while redshirt junior Adam McConnell had two hits and scored two runs.
On the mound, freshman Ryan Cook came out of the bullpen and pitched very well, tossing 6.1 scoreless innings. Cook struck out six batters while surrendering six hits. Classmate Ray Harron (0-1) took the loss for Richmond.
Xavier jumped out to an early, 5-0 lead on Sunday afternoon, scoring three runs in the first inning and two in the second, chasing Richmond starter Andrew Blum.
In the bottom of the third, the Spiders got on the board and cut the XU lead to 5-2. With runners on first and second base with one out, Mayers struck for the first time, smashing a two-run double down the left-field line.
Mayers was back at it again in the bottom of the fifth. With two outs and a runner on second, the Mechanicsville, Va. native slapped a double down the left-field line, scoring McConnell easily and making the Xavier lead, 5-3.
With the score still 5-3, the Spiders were in need of a rally in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, senior Phil Ruzbarsky drew a walk to bring the game-tying run to the plate. On a 1-1 count, Mayers made great contact, sending a deep fly ball down the right field line. With the XU right fielder retreating, Mayers' shot clanged off the foul pole for a game-tying, two-run home run. The clutch blast - Mayers' eighth of the season - sent the game in to extra innings.
In the top of the 10th inning, however, the Musketeers were able to push two runs across to take a 7-5 lead. In the bottom of the frame, the Spiders couldn't duplicate the heroics from the previous inning and fell to Xavier, 7-5, in 10.
The Richmond Spiders baseball team will hit the road for a midweek game at William and Mary this Tuesday. First pitch at Plumeri Park is scheduled for 7 p.m.

If that ball that The Toddfather yakked out of here didn't have blood on it before he hit it, it certainly did afterwards. I, for one, am not suprised it flew that far. If you can go deep with no hands, hitting the boat above centerfield ain't nothing but a thing.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said.

Individuals Shine During Hatters' Second Scrimmage
A number of players took advantage of Saturday morning's football scrimmage at Stetson's Athletics Training Center to step into the spotlight.
The Hatters went through a 140-play scrimmage that included goal-line work on both ends of the field as well as two-minute sessions. The Stetson players will have one more opportunity to catch the eyes of the coaching staff when the Hatters hold their final major scrimmage on Wednesday night at Spec Martin Memorial Stadium. That scrimmage is set to start at 7:30 p.m. and is open to the public.
Fans who have not yet purchased their season tickets for the Hatters six home games this fall will have an opportunity Wednesday night to meet with Athletics Ticket Office personnel and literally choose their seats for the coming season.
Hatters coach Roger Hughes (pictured above) said Saturday's scrimmage was a lot like any other scrimmage: there was good and bad. One thing he certainly was not happy about was the number of penalty flags that hit the ground.
"It was a lot like and NFL preseason game today because it seemed as if the officials had a quota on flags to be thrown," Hughes said. "On the other hand, we were the ones causing the flags to be thrown. We just made way too many mistakes. We took a step back from the standpoint of execution."
There were a total of 22 penalties on the day, 16 of which were called against the offensive unit. Hughes said there were several reasons for the increased number of penalties from last week – more of the offense has been installed, more of the younger players were involved with the scrimmage, and the defense was doing more to get the offensive players thinking instead of executing.
While the defense did perform better in the second scrimmage, the unit was still without a number of standouts, including preseason All-American Donald Payne. Others in the starting secondary – corners Chris Atkins and Glenn Adesoji as well as safety Ryan Powers – saw little or no action as well.
"Defensively, I thought we came out hard and set the tone early," Hughes said. "But then, after we gave up one big play defensively, we got our heads down a little. They have to find a way to come back.
The defense forced two punts, had two safeties and forced a turnover right away. That is the kind of high-pressure defense that we have to play. Those guys also have to understand that when you play a high-pressure defense like we do, you are going to give us some big plays, that is just how it works. You can't let that affect what you are doing. You have to get right back in there and keep playing hard."
While the offense struggle early, they were able to connect on some big plays. Those plays included long runs by sophomore Jerami Singleton (66 yards) and freshman Craig Carrington (46 and 45 yards) as well as a pair of long pass plays – one of 50 yards from sophomore Ryan Tentler to freshman Darian Wright and the other for a 54-yard touchdown from Jonathan Jerozal to Mike Yonker, both sophomores.
It was some of those younger players, including Carrington and Wright, who caught Hughes' attention.
"Both of those kids are going to step in and help us as freshmen," Hughes said. "Two others that people may not notice are Charles Wallace and Jared Gleason in the offensive line. Those guys are going to be very good players as well and they are moving up the depth chart."
Overall, the offense piled up 611 total yards, 398 through the air on 32-of-57 passes, and 213 on 59 rush attempts.
Tentler led the five quarterbacks, passing for 176 yards and a touchdown by completing 11-of-18 attempts. Jerozal hit on 7-of-15 passes for 126 yards and two scores but was also intercepted once. Junior Blake Plattsmier completed 9-of-13 passes for 68 yards and a score and was also intercepted once.
On the ground, Singleton and Carrington led the way, rushing for 106 and 104 yards respectively while both rushing for a touchdown. Chris Crawford (5-86) and Yonker (4-85) were the leading receivers with Ryan Selimos(4-68) and Wright (3-64) both having good days as well.
"We are excited about our receiving corps and we think we have five or six, maybe even seven, that we can win with and even the guys behind them aren't bad," Hughes said. "The nice thing about the competition we have is that it makes everyone get better."
On the defensive side of the ball there were several young players who also stood out. That group included sophomores Marlin Hall and Devon Jones-Stewart along with freshman Eric Martin.
"Marlin Hall made a couple of really good plays on the ball," Hughes said. "It is always good to have a couple of guys because safeties have to fill in on the run. We held Ryan Powers out a good bit today and that gives Marlin a chance to get in there. I think he is certainly becoming the type of player we thought he could be when we recruited him."
Hall had one of the two interceptions on a diving, one-handed, catch and also had a pair of pass breakups. Jones-Stewart, who moved from a backup role in the secondary to defensive end, continued to make plays, recording three sacks and another tackle for loss.
"Devin had a very good day and he has been having a lot of good days in practice," Hughes said. "He has been a pick machine because it seems like every ball that goes up or is loose he is on. Another guy that I thought played well is Eric Martin. He is a real physical corner who we think can help us."
Play was also improved on the defensive line, which is led by sophomore Davion Belk, who opened things by recovering a bad pitch on one of the very first plays of the day. He added a sack and a tackle for loss. Other defensive linemen had big plays as well, including Eddie Curry (TFL), Andrew Green (TFL), Curtis Young (TFL),Shayne White (Sack) and Matt Mines (TFL).
"We did a couple of different things today," Hughes said of the defensive line. "We are experimenting with a couple of different fronts and we are moving a little bit more. The guys are also more sound, more in their gaps and where they are supposed to be. Obviously that is where we have to get a lot better."
With just two weeks left before the season-opener at Warner, Hughes said the time has come for the focus of practices to change to game preparation. With two more scrimmages on the schedule this week, there is still much to be done to prepare for the opening game.
"We have to get better at getting our personnel into the game," Hughes said. "We have to get better on special teams of getting personnel into the game. We have to hone in on who our special teams guys are and get better in that area. We have to cover a lot of different special situations such as a kick after a safety and all of the other little situations that might happen.
"During the scrimmage on Wednesday night we are going to try to polish and fine-tune what we are doing. If there is a question about who is going to be on the bus for the trip to Warner, we want to get those guys evaluated."
Challenge Answered and Issued: The wave of ice bucket challenges caught up with the Stetson head coach on Friday an he took advantage of the opportunity to challenge a friend in the coaching community.
Student assistant coach Mitch VanSumeren was responsible for calling Hughes out in the video challenge that has swept across the nation in an effort to raise money and awareness in the fight to find a cure for ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig Disease.
"I thought it would be fun to get the entire team involved," Hughes said of his video, which went up on YouTube on Friday. "I wanted to be able to show that, as coaches, we have fun too and are not just ogres screaming at you all the time."
In answering the challenge put forth by VanSumeren, Hughes challenged his friend, Lance Leipold, and the entire team at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Leipold's program has won five of the last six NCAA Division III National Championships.
"Lance came to visit our team in the spring, watched practice and evaluated us and talked to the team," Hughes said. "They reported to camp yesterday and our team called out their team.
"He tried to say that he got his ice bath at the national championship game and sent me a picture. I showed that to our team and they said that didn't work. I think that he and both of his coordinators are going to do it in the next couple of days."
Even though it was fun for him and his team to get involved, Hughes said people should remember the goal.
"The ultimate thing about this is to bring awareness to a great cause, but if we can also use it to bring our team together, then we wanted to do that as well."

Share a Ride
Share a Ride - Make a Friend - Save Fuel and Expenses
Carpooling and Car Sharing are the most effective ways to significantly save expenses and reduce gasoline consumption. It is like changing a car from 25 miles per gallon to 50 or 75 miles per gall (per person)!
- Less stress commuting to and from work or school
- Financial savings when costs are shared
- Reduces need for parking
- Increases free time for riders
- Reduces pollution and greenhouse gas emissions
- Reduces traffic congestion
- Reduces energy consumption
Check out our on-line carpool matching system and student ride sharing system to start reducing your fuel consumption and costs.
Another alternative - Share a car with our new Zipcar initiative! Go to www.zipcar.com/clarkson/ to become a student or employee member of Zipcar and borrow one of the Zipcar SmartWay fuel efficient vehicles to provide transportation for the occasional errands to Massena or weekend away.
A $4/gallon on gasoline -
- The cost of your commute from Massena to Clarkson
$1,500/y !!
(Assumption: 48 work weeks, 5 trips per week, 40 miles per day, fuel economy - 25 MPG)
- The cost of your weekend trips home to Syracuse each semester:
$240 !!
(Assumption: 5 trips home per semester, 300 miles round trip, fuel economy = 25 MPG)
And that is only the fuel cost! When you factor in insurance and wear and tear on your vehicle, the cost increases 3.5 times these values ($0.56/mile)

I had a T6, took out both the CX & Pantera (not LX) on demos for good long runs! The choice between the 2 will depend on what you want from the board.
For start, both will (did) perform better than my also dying T6. Much faster, more stable at speed with greater pop.
Now, between the two, I'd say the Pantera is money at speed and dampness. It is just a super fast board that will be a thrill to ride if that's your game. You'll be literally passing by everyone on the mountain with ease.
CX on the other hand was a great & fun all around board! Good for riding fast, has a very good feel to it and great for jumps and having fun all doing everything with a true all mountain board. I loved it when I took out for a demo and kept it for almost 2 hours.
I'd say the CX would be closer (but better) ride to your T6, while the Pantera is tapered set-back speed monster. Not that the CX isn't fast in it's own rank.
I hope this helps. GL
I've been on a CX 164w for the last couple seasons and rode a Pantera 166w off and on for about 1/2 a season. I haven't been on a pantera lx or a T6 but here's my thoughts...
Both are excellent boards with the CX being slightly more all mountain and the pantera being more freeride. The pantera will be a little more pow friendly and the CX a better jumper.
There are two other things to consider. Look closely at board widths. The pantera has odd waist sizing, and the wide is really wide. The other consideration is binding setup. I like Burton bindings, especially my diode est, so that makes a big difference in my opinion of the CX. You'll want an est or reflex binding with the CX. The Pantera will of course give you more binding options.
The standard Pantera has a different core profile than the LX which is something to consider also, and it is clearly stiffer than the CX.
Both are fast, the ride on the CX is a little more active the Pantera slightly more damp.
I've transitioned to more of an all mountain type rider from a traditional freerider and love the versatility of the CX. I've had dozens of boards over the years and the CX is my favorite to date. That said I'd like to add an LX to my quiver, but I don't see it being my primary board. How's that for a political answer? Tis the season I guess...
Burton custom x VS Nitro pantera LX
Hey guys,
I have the oppurtunity to buy either a burton custom x or a Nitro pantera LX,
from 2012.
I cuurently have a Burton T6 but its on the verge of dying
Has anyone rode both boards?

Have received reports from three different sources that live and hunt the lake up around Scottsboro and Stevenson, that good numbers of ducks are arriving at Coon Creek and lots of ducks have been reported on the N Sauty Refuge as well. They also started pumping the Raccoon Creek area to flood the back sloughs and lakes, on the downside though is the crops planted by the DNR did not grow well in most areas to be flooded due to spring flooding and also the fact the pumping unit failed last spring and they were not able to drain water from tradition areas to plant crops for the ducks. I presonally viewed the Wanneville corn and it was pitiful as well. Local swamps are mostly dry now which can move ducks to bigger water but also cause them to continue to another place.
So some good news but some not so good news local swamps.

'MacArthur, a second-round 2003 pick of the Buffalo Sabres, said the contract process was nervewracking at times following the NHL signing a new collective bargaining agreement last week. "The first day I think everyone got pretty much lowballed in the whole league, so we were all sweating," he said while vacationing with his family in Penticton, B.C. "It worked out for us; it's great to have it done. We got the same deal as the picks in 2003, with a 24 per cent rollback. It was $942,000 for the cap for the (maximum) signing bonus. The (maximum) salary was $850,000."'

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Arsène Wenger and his side face Southampton at Emirates Stadium on Saturday so, to find out more, tactical expert Michael Cox and local journalist Gordon Simpson gave their pre-match views.
In Arsenal's previous home fixture they faced a frustrating Sunderland side that defended with 10 men behind the ball, but Southampton will be keener to attack. Their main quality is going forward, demonstrated by their two goals against both Manchester clubs.
Nigel Adkins has played a 4-1-4-1/4-3-3 formation so far this season, which might be well suited to the challenge of Arsenal at the Emirates, where the home full backs will push on, leaving spaces into which they can counter-attack.
Southampton's main problem this season has been in defence, where they have conceded eight goals in three matches. It was notable that all three concessions against Manchester United came following crosses, although the back four can legitimately blame a lack of protection from further up the pitch - the wingers can be slow to get back and defend, allowing opponents space on the flanks.
Right back Nathaniel Clyne looked vulnerable to high balls against United, although in one-on-one situations on the ground he's excellent, and Lukas Podolski will need to offer more than raw pace to get past him.
On the flanks Southampton have great quality. Captain Adam Lallana should drift inside from the left flank - he lacks raw pace so often takes plenty of touches on the ball, but his appreciation of space is very intelligent. Record signing Gaston Ramirez could make his debut on the other side - Arsenal must watch for him cutting inside and thumping the ball towards goal with his left foot.
Up front, Rickie Lambert is more than a pure target man but likes receiving long passes and battling with the centre backs. Both goals scored against Manchester United - one scored by Lambert, one by Morgan Schneiderlin - came after crosses towards opposition full backs.
I imagine this is going to be quite an entertaining game given how Southampton have played so far. You only have to look at the Manchester City and United games with five goals in each. They haven't been afraid to attack the big teams they have faced so far.
I expect them to do the same here but with Arsenal's attacking power you can imagine they will be looking to get a couple of goals themselves. I doubt we're going to see a 0-0.
Everybody has been encouraged by what they have seen so far, particularly in those aforementioned games. Wigan was a little bit disappointing because it was a close game and could have gone either way. But they have had an incredibly daunting start and realistically they were not expecting to have many points after the first four games.
With the way they have played, however, I think they have surprised people a little bit with just how well they have stood toe-to-toe with these teams.
Rickie Lambert has been Southampton's big threat for the last couple of seasons and he has started incredibly well already with two goals. He is obviously a serious threat in the air and Southampton identified that as a way they could hurt United.
It will be interesting to see what happens on Saturday because they have a couple of new faces who could play against Arsenal, the most notable of those being Gaston Ramirez. Their record signing is likely to start out wide presuming he comes back from international duty fit and healthy. People are quite excited to see that combination if Ramirez and Lambert play together.
I think the wings are where Southampton are likely to find their biggest opportunities. Adam Lallana has also been boosted by his England call-up this week and he is a real threat. If they can work him into space then he has the ability to hurt anybody in the division.
They have gone with a new formation this season with one central striker and two wide men supporting and it has obviously been an area over the summer that they have tried to strengthen. I think those two positions are key to the way they are trying to play.
I think that Southampton will give it a good go and again will have some spells where they put Arsenal under some pressure. But I also saw Arsenal play against Liverpool where they looked pretty fantastic, and I think they will just edge it. I'll say 2-1 to Arsenal.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

The Weekly Health Quiz: Pool Parasites, Death Rattle and Food as Medicine
June 23, 2017
A tongue biopsy is surgery to remove a piece of the tongue to look at under a microscope.
Biopsy - tongue
A tongue biopsy can be done using a needle.
Some types of tongue biopsies remove a thin slice of tissue. Others are done under general anesthesia. You will be asleep and pain-free so that a larger area may be removed and examined.
You may be told not to eat or drink anything for several hours before the test.
Your tongue is very sensitive so a needle biopsy may be uncomfortable even when numbing medicine is used.
Your tongue can be tender or sore, and it may feel slightly swollen after the biopsy. You may be stitches or an open sore where the biopsy was done.
The test is done to find the cause of abnormal growths or suspicious-looking areas of the tongue.
The tongue tissue is normal when examined.

|You can sell parts for the SHO easily for sure.. I'm sure most parts would go fast on ebay. Things like belt tensioner pulleys and many other engine parts are abosolete. If the 5 speed tranny is still good, people need that stuff. I'd part the car off or get it fixed.
|How much of a market is there for a SHO parts car/rebuilder? My friends have a towing service and there is a 90ish sho in their impound lot. It had a moderate front hit but the motor trans looked ok and actually the car looked rebuildable. They will prolly just cut the car up and junk it, but if anyone is interested I will check into it for you.
The secondarys open at 3,950 rpm. Better have your wood screw on, because it will blow your doors off. It's a great car if you are a hands on person. I love my 90 MTX SHO, it has 140,000.
Well worth the $2000 I paid.

Re: 4Jaw,.........
Well put Kaylah, one day the car might be a collectors item, to me it means much more, Dad and I went and bought it together. Now if I can only stop police cars from hitting it.
The answer to your question Bubbles of who would buy a Ford with a Yamaha engine is quite simple.
You ever drive a V-Max motorcycle? The SHO is much the same and shares similarily designed intake manifolding, the secondary butterfly opens at around 5000 and you better have it pointed straight cause 7000 happens real fast. Thats the best example I can give of the character of the engine.
Thanks for the great information, Chuck. I'm going to cut and splice it to a Word file so I can digest it a little more. The guy who had the SHO sold it before I could drive 175 miles to see it. Oh well, for $500, I knew it wouldn't last long because the car has a serious, almost "cult-like" following.
The tips you gave are very detailed and I appreciate that...especially the ones about the miliage service, and how to listend to the valves. That will be a major consideration. Also, I'll keep looking for a good deal on a 94-94 model. I am also guessing that since these engines were a "new breed", they probably don't suffer the head gasket fate of the 3.0 and 3.8 garden variety Fords.
These car have some kind of alluring feature to me. It seems like Ford kinda squeezed in a "modern-day" hot rod right beneath everyone's nose. To me, these cars seem like they are in a class of their own...a sort of Ford that was allowed to be "free" and broke away from the pack. I just think they are some really unique, interesting, and very fast NEW American Steel.
So the "newbie" posts a pretty lame question, eh? A veteran gearhead posts an extremely knowledgeable essay about a modern day hot rod, and the newbie starts his/her career in flames...Better keep an eye on this one too.
Why would anyone want to buy a Cadillac with a Chevy engine? Why would anyone buy a Rambler with a Ford engine? Why would anyone buy a Dodge with a Mitsu engine? Why would anyone buy a boat with a 351-Windsor? Why does a Marine 351-Windsor have different specs than a Land 351-Windsor? Why would anyone buy a Chrysler when instead of a Volkswagon, BMW, Benz, or Audi? Why would anyone buy a Japanese car that was built in Ohio? Is it a Japanese car, or is it American? Why would anyone think of a Corvette as a "hot rod" when its made out of plastic? Why doesn't Canada make their own brand of cars instead of making them for everyone else?
Why is there a 305, 327, 350, and 400 engine, when you can do the same thing with all of them? Couldn't they make just one? Why is a Firebird a Camaro and a Camaro a Firebird? Whatever happened to the 413 and where the heck did it come from anyway? Why did everybody decide to change engine size numbers at the same time? Why did Ford decide to make two entirely different engines with the same cubuc inch displacement...and why was that size 351 CID? Why is a Ford 352 engine a "Big Block" and a Ford 400 engine a "Small Block?" Why did everyone have to have a 400 and 360 CID engine? Were they all secretly made by the same company?
Why is there a Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac, when they are all Chevy's anyway? Why did Datsun change its name to Nissan? Why did Honda decide to make Lawn mowers while Yamaha was making audio equipment.
Who decided to name the colors? Why is the decimal system better when its based on fingers and toes? Why do adult men get paid millions of dollars to play games like children? Why do enigmas and anomalies sound so much like what they describe? To whom do we thank for coming up with the idea of an enema? Why is it that we need to see things upside down? Why don't whales have gills like fish, and what on earth do they need fur or hair for?
How do we know that numbers continue infinitely? What happens if we run out of words to name numbers.
Why is it that out of 13,000 HR.com members, there always has to be one that farts in the space suit?

Re: Some questions about a Ford SHO
The most desirable SHO's are the 94-95 versions, most consider the styling the most attractive and the chassis to have the least amount of bugs to fix. The worst bug is the trans, it's not that it's not strong enough, the problem lies more with the tuning. Ford decided to market this car as a sporty alternative to the Lincoln and tuned it for comfort not sport. The trans "slides" it's shifts under light loads and aggressively upshifts until your locked up in 4 gear at 60 kph. It is responsive to throttle changes and does react very nicely to load but when you couple the sliding shifts with small fluid capacity and realize that the transaxle is surrounded on both sides with red hot cats you can get the picture. The trans cooler factory installed is better suited as a power steering oil cooler not cooling a transmission.
It is commonly recognized that a Transgo kit and updated shift drum (older models had a rivetted two piece drum that cracked the spider if abused) solves 95% of the problems, a nice big cooler and chopping out the cats takes care of the last 5%. There is a list of updated components that should also be installed that basically bullet proofs the trans for any kind of street use up to 300HP or so. Most 94-95 models had these updated components factory installed except for the shift kit. Manual transmissions on the early models were saddled with a small diameter clutch disc better suited to a less powerful engine and is the only weak link in the manual models.
You should also note that the engine needs special attention at 100 miles, valve adjustment and cam belt replacement is required and it has motorcycle like shim over bucket design valvetrain, neglecting this critical service dooms the engine and can require cam replacement to repair. Ford has stopped selling some shims in certain sizes, this can complicate manitaining the engine. I think it goes without saying that if the 100K service was not done on time, find another example...you could be sorry. Warmed up there should be no noise from the valve train and listening to it with a stethoscope through the valve covers should show equal noise from each valve, a very light ticking is all you should hear. If it is not perfect...pass, valve recession and cam damage is not reversible.
Many manual trans models had main bearing problems if they were abused, most people just drop the pan and insert new bearings which seems to solve the problem without an overhaul. The bottom end is very beefy and as long as the journals are clean you can usually get away with this kind of repair. Lugging the engine causes this, the autos almost never have this problem.
Other problems center around the variable assist power steering pump, typical interior switch components failing and cosmetic problems like the climate control switch button covers punching out because the buttons are hollow. 2 cents worth of extra plastic would have prevented the last problem. Basically it's a Taurus with a Ferrari engine and the rest of the car is just not built like an exotic.
The automatic versions had 3.2 litre versions of the Yamaha engine and the manuals were 3.0 litre, do not confuse them with the 3.0 litre Vulcan Ford engine, they have absolutely nothing in common. Yamaha produced an engine according to Ford spec and Ford dropped the ball on the drivetrain side as if they expected Yamaha to not deliver on the HP spec, it's too bad, the engine is a jewel and compares nicely to most newer V6's like the Grand Prix Supercharged and other like sized Japanese models. 220 HP from a 3.2 litre engine is still competive today, remember this is a naturally aspirated engine. Magazine tests from the day note that the extra cc's of the auto version offset the advantage of the manual trans so the manual and auto versions are very similar speed wise in the quarter mile.
The engine compartment looks daunting for repair but most things are accessible if you remove certain key components and have small hands, most newer cars are no different as Madd has noted. The power steering system is variable assist and has a small capacity (1 litre), the pump has to endure the 7000 rpm abuse the engine puts out and wears out quickly if the fluid is not regularly changed and synthetic substituted for regular Dextron. Replacing the pump is a bugger and cost me $260+tax for the rebuilt pump (it took me 8 hours to replace it and flush the system manually), luckily it didn't damage the rack (as far as I can tell) but getting all the metal particles out required me installing a fuel filter in the return line. So far so good, I'm still crossing my fingers. I won't repeat the words I used trying to get out the last mount bolt, it makes my forearms hurt just thinking about it.
Discs all around and ABS complicates the brake system but seems to need little repair except for rotor warpage on the fronts, the 3rd gens had larger front discs and is a popular swap for hipo use. The suspension springs are made of small diameter wire so rust can compromise their integrity, mine have already been replaced once. The fact that each generation only lasted 3 or so years makes finding used parts difficult and annoying especially when some parts look the same but are not dimensionally identical.
All in all I like the car and the styling and comfort, the stereo (Bose) is better than many aftermarket units and is tuned to the interior of the car, it handles well since the weight is low for a car this size and has a nice distribution. The backseat is a joke when you compare it to an Intrepid, same goes for the trunk, my Jetta is about the same size and better shaped. I call it the car you love to hate because for all the mechanical flaws and minor problems with interior components I continue to fix it even though for the money spent so far I could have bought a used Porche, they have similar repair costs and service requirements from my experience. Of course you can't fit three kids in the back of a 911 for a cross country trip and get 30 mpg either.
If you ask me this engine should have been in the Probe and they should have stuck a 302 in this car, many have noted that a Lincoln LSC is a better traditional hotrod and cheaper to maintain while retaining the luxury component. A Probe with this engine might actually had been a contender in the Supercar category, the engine is that sweet.
I was lucky Kaylah, my father bought this car from a Ford dealers wife and he took very good care of it. At 175 K the trans still works fine but is getting to the point where its time to overhaul it, full throttle shifts into second make me cringe, new it would smoke-em into second but not anymore. I don't want to wreck it so I am slowly working out the bugs one by one. You could say that if it wasn't Dad's old car I would have bailed on it long ago, it has sentimental value and that makes me a sucker. Oh well it still draws heads wherever I go and gas station atttendants are always asking me what kind of car it is and want to check the oil. I have been asked if I wanted to sell it more than once and I have found notes on my windshield from other enthusiasts in the know asking for a phone call. The sunroof is awesum and either tilts or retracts fully, everything is power with leather seats and has an attractive gauge package that is nicer than a 5.0 litre. The climate control is superb and easily cools even on 40 C days. I enjoy the car in it's stock form and I am only going to restore and repair/upgrade components as needed, this car deserves to stay stock and I intend to preserve the original look. For some reason not many of these cars made it here to Manitoba, I've only seen one other model of the same vintage. Down south and out East there seem to have been many more purchased, I have never seen one for sale here. My biggest complaint is the Opal Mist color, it seems to make the car disappear to other drivers and I'm constantly getting cut off, the last pinhead hit the back 6 inches of the rear bumper and spun me around when I had the right of way through the light. Good thing he was driving a police car, because somehow it was all my fault? Ya, that one still stings.
I posted a thread earlier on how nice the exhaust sounds now with a big resonator and some performance muffs and no cats, at 5 grand you would swear you were driving a Ferrari. It sounds a little ricey at cruise speed but it is very subtle and not intrusive at all, I kinda like it. That V6 sound is not my favorite but the upper rpm rip makes me smile every time. I have had three serious races with it and only lost one, the first was a 360 ci new Dakota Sport and I sure opened his eyes when I passed him walking away, the second was a new Supercharged GrandPix, the slipping tranny let me down on that one otherwise it would have been very close and this is a much bigger car. The last was a riced up mid 90's Acura Legend, no challenge at all.
Here are some pics I snapped this afternoon, it turned out to be nice and I just washed her yesterday.
Hope you like them.

ive got a 94 non sho taurus, I have pulled the heads off, i havent pulled the tranny, but it can't be much harder than the fwd tranny was in spookis car..... it been swapped twice. gets quicker and quicker every time.
as far as working on one, you have to get in the mindset of having to deal with all of that electronic crap. (your friend). its a tight fit to work on, but my big self has done it with out to much trouble.... get a code reader, actually a scanner is better, as you can moniter real time functions..... i'd like to put a sho on a tbird or couger tranny and drop that in a 'coupe or a bucket....
and the tranny is the weakest link in the sho drive train, 4Jaw had a good thread on awhile back, where he had found a website that had a bunch of mods listed to do to the tranny to beef it up.....
Some questions about a Ford SHO
You know, cars are a very terrible addiction...
I was "window shopping" online as I sometimes do...you know drool over what you'd like to have. Then I came upon this Taurus SHO in distress. The owner described it as clean and running good, listed a few add-ons (flowmasters, new tires), but said the the trans was "no good".
This was a '91 SHO, and I'm thinking it probably still had the 5-speed manual trans. I believe it had somewhere in the vicinity of 145,000 miles. The price was pretty cheap, and the picture of the vehicle looked like it was pretty decent. I was thinking of travelling out to see it.
If I assume the worse, and the trans needs an overhaul, how difficult will it be if it is a manual or automatic. Funny thing is, I don't remember owning or driving too many front-wheelers. I think the only one I had was a Civic, and nothing major ever went South on that except the gas tank...then I sold it. What does one get involved with when owning a hi-po "modern" vehicle with front wheel drive?

Yep! Were still on the right coast and got both feet above the ground. :smt028
The Hills are alive in Mt. Dora - new to the forums - 8 years in c-fla
I saw your other post. Welcome. I'm a transplant from New Jersey. Been here since Dec. 2oo2.
I love it here in "paradise".
Welcome!!!! I live on the west coast in the Crystal River area, but work in Orlando!!:rolleyes:
Moved to Tampa in 1980, Moved to Inverness in 1986, Moved to Orlando in 1990, Moved to St. Cloud 2000.
Gotta love Central Florida...:smt170
Orlandos traffic's too crazy, I'll stay in the beautiful space coast.
...Moved to Florida 8 years ago. Sure has changed in those 8 short years...I'm on the coast around 50 miles north of Tampa...:smt039
The closest gun ranges that I've gone to are Shoot Straight Casselberry and Apopka but mostly Casselberry because it's closer.
There's also East Orange Shooting Sports off of Forsyth in between University Blvd and SR 50 aka Colonial Dr.
Whereabouts are you in CFL?
I was in Winter Park for a while, Windermere, and now Longwood/Wekiva area. 15 min from Shoot Straight Apopka.
I'll catch you in Apopka some time, or if I'm over at Casselberry. I have a membership for both.
Gilfo here. I live in Wekiva and go to the Apopka Shoot Straight. Been to the other local ranges still like the Apopka the best.
I'm looking to do quite a few things actually but I figure it's best to take one step at a time.
I'm drooling over a beautiful Colt AR-15 at the Casselberry Shoot Straight that they are selling for about $2,000. Apparently my buddy, whom I grew up with and works there, says that that particular one is hard to find because it's a MIL/LE model that somehow loopholed itself into civilian hands and that it's supposed to be banned soon or something like that.
I'm just talking out loud at this point... LOL
Orlando here
Summerfield here,moved here from N.Y. 3 yrs ago first to Bradenton was nice but way to expensive,find central much nicer, being a newbie and disabledI don't meet to may people my age by all these retirement communities,finding hard to meet friends my age, where you guys hiding out!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ahh I forget I'm turning 55 next week damn! I use to love shooting long range in N.Y. I came here and for the love of GOD I couldn't find a range over 100rds so I sold my Tactical Remington Police .308. Shoot over in Leesburg at the indoor range there anyone go there? Ive only been in Summerfield a yr now so still getting to know the area! I did pickup a nice Sig P6 from Shooting Straight for 3 bill's, anyone close by looking for a shooting buddy give me a hollar!
Im in Winter Park goin to school, originally from New Jersey though. Ive shot at both the Casselberry Shoot Straight and East Orange Sports, I like Shoot Straight much better though, less sketchy. Ill be heading to the Apopka Shoot Straight sometime this week since my friend just bought an AK and the Casseberry range isnt big enough for it, so we'll be headin to the Apopka location.
living in edgewater 3 years now from NJ also only thing I miss is the dinners.
I like to shot @ Strickland in daytona ,and the police hall of fame range in Titisville
Never been to shoot stright
Ocala. Moved down here from Selinsgrove PA. 6yrs. ago. Can't wait for the market to change so I can sell and go back. Miss being able to hunt real deer...LOL
I have lived in Orlando over 20 years and I prefer the East Orange range when I shoot my pistol. I prefer Shoot straight when I want to drool at gun cases or handle weapons I plan on buying, unfortunately I have yet to find a good deal that interests me there.
Oh and a tip from back when you could find ammo at Walmarts and want to shoot at the Apopka Shoot Straight. Buy your ammo at the Walmart on the way and save a few dollars, over a few visits you could potentially buy an additional box with the savings.
Cheers, and happy paper hunting
I am in the Orlando area, Apopka to be exact. Have been in Central Florida since 1985.

Boot story from hell
Be prepared to laugh, while I'm prepared to be flamed. I'm in the midst of a major boot problem being about 1200 bucks in with no comfortable fit.
I'll thank anyone in advance for reading this whole thing and offering a suggestion.
I replaced my DC judge boots with Ions start of the season. After only a few days out I noticed that the top needed to be tightened after every run. Basically it felt like I had no support from ankle up. Here is where the shit storm starts. Not only do the ions not give me support above the ankle I'm convinced therre is something wrong with the lacing system because what little crappy support I get loosens after every run. I'll try and warranty/return them.
This problem presents itself on the first day of a 9 day whistler/Banff snowboard trip so I need a solution fast. I went to a store in whistler told them my problem and asked for a proper fitting "apx 7 out of 10 flex boot". I take the guys advice who puts me in a pair of Ride Insano Boots. Off to Banff I go first day on the run they are nearly unusable ...way too stiff. Holly crap has anyone tried these things? Im not into racing and I asked for a 7 out of 10 type flex. How the fck would the guy at the store put me in these. Now I'm 800 bucks in.
In Banff and not able to return the Insano boots to whistler where I bought them (guy on the phone said he may do nothing at all for me but I'll deal with that later) I need to get boots for the rest of my trip. Out of the ones available to try I buy Soloman Synapse. I have a narrow foot so they fit pretty good, but again they offer no support about my ankle. Its a double BOA so I can tighten the top, but the problem is the top BOA also controls the strap over my ankle so if I tighten it to fit my skinny calf area enough it over tightens my ankle. I was stuffing socks in the upper part of my boot to better support that area.
Now I'm 1200 bucks in with still no comfortable boot.
Can anyone suggest a mid flex boot that fits a narrow foot, and narrow lower calf area? Preferably Something that has a double tighten system where the top portion ONLY tightens the top part and nothing in the bottom or ankle so I can tighten the top area enough and not over tighten the bottom.
I'm considering going back to my DC judges because they fit the bill, but I did get heal lift...maybe I can fix the heal lift easier with an insert?
Now I have to sell new Soloman synapse, try and get my money back for the ill advised Insano boots, and warranty my ions.
Other then I hope you can salvage your trip
I got no good advice. Hope it gets better for ya is all I can offer.
Thanks...I have had thick pow every day with first tracks every morning, so that helps. Also its fun watching my gf loving her new Never Summer board on her first ever POW experience. That and the Banff Springs hotel is my favorite place in earth. They have a Swiss style restaurant that sells 2L boots of beer which I have had every night by a wood burning fire which helps. :)

Salomon F2.0 or Pledge. Or if you can find them possibly the Deeluxe Brisse.
Here in lies the problem. Your boot fitters are fucking morons! Now that we've established that lets move on.
When it comes to boot flex a 7 to you could be a 3 to me and vice versa there is no defined method to establish what boot flex is. I ride the stiffest boots K2 makes and I find them too soft after they break in, but they fit so good that I just deal with it.
Now lets look at some ways to remedy this situation.
Take your Insano's and back over them with your car this could potentially break them in or destroy them. Either way it's a win win situation I think.
Second solution rip out the stock insole get an aftermarket off the shelf or a full custom. I recommend full custom as it sounds you need to build up the heel pocket to compensate for a smaller ankle. Next pull out the liner and with that new footbed in there look at where the ankle placement is, mark it with a grease pen, sharpie, blood of a virgin and get some J Bars, C Bars, Butterfly wrap, or some thicker 3m foam. My guess is with your ankle is that you'll need either c bars on top of a butterfly wrap or to cut an O ring then with a j bar on the bottom to suck up some volume.
After putting those on the boot and blasting them quick with a heat gun to help them adhere to the liner put the liner back in the boot. Tighten the boot back up and stand flat footed. From there flex your knee over your toe with all your force and see if there is any lift/aggitation. If yes we proceed, if no get drunk!
Now that we've established that you're still having issues it's time to pull that liner out again and stare at it. Give it a mean glare like you're Clint Eastwood about to shoot it dead on main street. OK now that that's out of the way you'll want either a tongue shim or some more of that 3M Foam. I prefer tongue shims, they're white and easier to cut to the proper shape. Grab one of those and set it in on the outside of the liners tongue (note this won't work with a burrito wrap liner). Duct tape it in place then put the liner back in the boot and tie it up again. Proceed with the knee over the toe flat footed shit. Does it work? Yes, proceed to get drunk and fist fuck a hooker. No? OK, time to move on to more customization.
Take the tongue shim out again, grab your trusty table mounted belt sander and safety glasses. You may also need a razor knife to trim to fit. Don't worry about cutting these things apart it's all good. Trim it to fit the tongue. If it looks like this is the proper thickness and where you need it cut, adhere it to the tongue of the liner put it back in the boot. Did this fix it? If yes continue to flog that farm animal if no turn on the belt sander and put the glasses on. While the sander is going to town put the tongue shim on the belt and sand off a few mm's and remember to bevel the edges, the reason for the beveling is to make the shell tongue wrap around the liner better.
After you do this put it back in the boot. Tie it up. Did this solve the problem? Yes, Cool go shred and come back and fuck 2 Norwegian bikini models. No? OK now we're going to get even more advanced in the boot fitting.
Pull that liner out again, give it a mean stare, again! Good got that out of your system? Now grab some more of that 3M Foam and some duct tape! Build a foam back spine up the back of the boot that looks like a T so that it goes from the base of the heel then branches out around your overly tiny girl calves. Adhere it to the liner, then cover it with duct tape to prevent it from coming off. Put the liner back in the boot, again! Tie it up flex around and shit see if that fixes the problem.
If it fixes the problem send me a personal check for 200 dollars. If it doesn't it's time to check out some more boots.
Now I personally recommend something like the K2 Maysis or T1 DB or UFO. It's a single shell boa which if you know how to flex into a boa boot you can get it tight around the ankle and calf. The internal boa harness is adjustable to the shape of your instep and that helps with ankle issues. It also acts as a double shelled boa without all the bullshit you're dealing. I know your pain as I was forced into the Thraxis (triple boa) due to a boa malfunction of epic proportions.
If none of this works quit snowboarding and take up sit skiing. You'll be the recumbent biker of snowboarding.
This should be sticky'd.
As far as the other advice goes I'll have to read it more them once as its a lot to picture and I'm only working with my iPhone right now. What I'd really like is someone I can just pay to do this for me. I'm assuming all this advice is for my Soloman's? Is it likely snowboard shops carry all these aftermarket material.
Just to be clear.... Ankle fit is good with my Soloman's, it's just everything above my ankle is loose as shit which in turn puts pressure on my ankle. Feels like I'm almost going to brake it.
Maybe I'll see if there is such thing as a custom boot fitter in my area that can do this all for me.
I have 6 long boarding trips planned this season above my local riding days, and someone will have to die before I go into anyone of them with boots that don't fit.
Thanks for the advice.
Honestly you should go to a ski boot fitter and explain to them everything and print this out and ask him if it makes sense. If he's a good one he'll be able to make it happen. Ideally you're probably looking at about an hour to two of custom work to the boots which if I was doing it I would charge you 35 an hour plus parts so probably a 100 to 150 bucks total if I was in a bad mood, good mood 50 to 80 bucks.
Lol, grab some K2's. also, try to sell the boots if the store wont take them.

Have a Safe July 4th!
It's been 238 years since our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence affirming the United States as a self-governing country.
Independence Day, more commonly known as July 4th, is one of the most popular and patriotic holidays of the year.
Families and friends will be celebrating at the lakes, parks, backyards and homes across the country. You can bet there will be plenty of food, fun and festivities.
To help make this July 4th the best one ever, MedicineNet.com has valuable tips that can help make this joyous holiday a little safer.
- Be a safe swimmer. Never swim alone, and make sure that kids' water play is adequately supervised at all times. Many drownings occur when parents and other adults are nearby, so always have a designated chaperone for water play and don't assume that others are watching the kids. Statistics show that most young children who drown in pools have been out of sight for less than five minutes.
- Fireworks safety. While many cities ban the setting off of fireworks, people do it anyway. There's also counties where the purchase and shooting of fireworks are perfectly legal. The number one rule should be to keep the kids away from the fireworks at all times, and keep spectators at a safe distance. Attending fireworks displays organized by professionals is always safer than trying to put on your own show.
- Drink alcohol responsibly. Alcohol and fireworks can be a hazardous and dangerous combination. Also, have a designated driver to bring partygoers home from the festivities. Remember also that alcohol and swimming can be as dangerous as drinking and driving.
- Review safe boating practices. Lakes and waterways will be packed with boats on the Fourth. Be sure that you have an adequate number of life preservers on hand for extra guests. Become familiar with the boating laws in your area. Lake levels are down in many states, so use caution when diving or jet skiing. The majority of boating accidents occur because of drinking and driving or swimming.
- Cover food and beverages. Bees and wasps are attracted to food and drinks. If someone is allergic to insect stings, you should have an emergency anaphylaxis kit on hand. Wearing shoes, long sleeves, and long pants outdoors and avoiding fragranced body products, bright colors, and sugary drinks can also help prevent bee stings.
- Use sunscreen! Make sure everyone in the family has sunscreen on if they are going to be outdoors. Even babies should have sunscreen applied to protect their delicate skin from the sun's harsh and burning rays. One myth about sunscreen is that people with darker skin don't need it. Not true. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that people with dark skin use a minimum SPF of 15. Ultra violet rays from the sun can cause both premature aging and skin cancer. Recent studies have linked sunburns in children with skin cancer later in life.
- Check your prescription medications. Some medications can make you hypersensitive to the sun. The most common medications that are phototoxic are certain antibiotics, antihistamines, acne medications and cardiac drugs, but there are others as well. Check with your physician or pharmacists if you're not sure about the sun-sensitivity medications your family is taking.
- Protect against ticks. If the family is planning a hiking or camping trip, wear long-sleeved, light-colored shirts and long pants tucked into socks or boots to protect yourself from tick-borne diseases. For your skin, you can use a tick repellent with no more than 30% DEET according to the manufacturer's instructions. Products containing DEET should not be used on children less than 2 months of age and should not be applied to the hands or face of young children. Check yourself (and your pets) for ticks at the end of the day.
- Drink plenty of fluids! It's easy to get dehydrated when kids and adults are active in hot climates. Keep plenty of water on hand and take water breaks often.
- Avoid overheating. The risk of heat illness is increased when participating in strenuous activity or sports. Know the signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Some symptoms of heat exhaustion are fatigue, nausea, headache, excessive thirst, muscle cramps, confusion or anxiety, dizziness, fainting and agitation. Heat stroke can include nausea and vomiting, dizziness, hot, flushed or dry skin, rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, decreased sweating and increased body temperature (104 to 106 degrees). Heat stroke can be fatal, so if you notice or experience any of the above symptoms, get medical attention immediately.
- Keep children away from campfires and grills. Gas leaks, blocked tubes, and overfilled propane tanks can be a cause of grill fires and explosions.
- Avoid food poisoning. It's easy to forget about the food once you've chowed down. Plus, people come and go at different times especially at family gatherings. Allowing food to sit in outdoor temperatures can invite foodborne illness. The U.S. FDA suggests never leaving food out for more than one hour when the temperature is above 90 F and not more than two hours at other times. Foods that need to be kept cold should be placed in a cooler with plenty of ice or freezing packs and held at a maximum temperature of 40 F. While mayonnaise and other egg dishes are often associated with food poisoning, any food can potentially become contaminated. Adequate hand washing and food preparation can also help prevent food poisoning.
Have a wonderful July 4th and remember to stay safe!
