This past year, Mojo Fett (Gav) and BobbyFettUK (Rob) set out to make the most accurate Fett rocket pack harness, and they totally succeeded in doing just that.
It was by far, the most accurate harness endeavor that has ever been attempted. A small run was initiated and that harness was shared with members of TDH.
I even purchased one myself.
Just for ease of discussion, lets refer to this harness as the V1 harness.
However, very shortly after the V1 harness run was completed, some new fantastic harness reference was made available.
This was both fantastic news and gut wrenching news all at the same time.
It was fantastic because it provided in clear crisp detail exactly what the harness should look like, and make it possible to get an accurate scaling of the harness for the first time ever.
It was gut wrenching because it pointed out some flaws of the V1 that was just recently completed. Flaws like improper scale, proportions, and some incorrect construction details.
The V1 harness was made as well as it possibly could have been based on the limited reference available at the time. And for what Gav and Rob had to work with, they did beyond a fabulous job.
Although the V1 harness that they had just finished is still an amazing functional piece, it does meet the standards for those wanting an ultimate screen accurate harness.
And that really sucks for those people (including myself) who had just invested in the V1 harness so recently. And especially for Gav and Rob who had invested an incredible amount of time and effort to see that project come alive and brought to completion.
But it was unavoidable. And outside of Gav and Rob having a crystal ball to see the future, there was nothing they could have done differently.
So with new awesome reference in hand, I took it upon myself to bring my skill set to the table and re-scale the harness using some of the known measurements of objects seen in the photo, and created a brand new drawing.
One in which I have the utmost confidence in. Checked it once, twice, three, and four times. Maybe five. : )
I approached Gav and Rob and asked them if they would be interested in doing another run based on my dimensions and they agreed.
Although there were issues with the dimensions/proportions of the V1 harness, the actual construction of it was top shelf. Gav, Rob, and the fabrication shop they used had done one hell of a job in my opinion.
I knew that combining my new V2 harness drawing with what Gav and Rob had accomplished with the V1, would provide us accuracy fans with the best shot possible for an ultimate replica.
I spoke directly with Gav and Rob individually where we discussed this new drawing in-depth, discovered some new details together, and sorted out the particulars.
There is nothing worse than having to invest in upgrading replicas as I'm sure many of you will agree. It's always better (and cheaper) to get it right the first time whenever possible.
But when it comes to creating replicas, you can only do the best job possible with the reference you have available at the time. That's just the nature of the hobby and the burden that the accuracy conscious have to bear.
That being said, having this new reference, I believe that this V2 harness will be the last harness that will ever need to be made to completely satisfy the hardcore accuracy nuts like myself.
There are a couple of other options out there as far as harnesses are concerned (including the V1 that some of you already have).
One recent option I've seen out there sacrifices accuracy, but is totally functional and geared for the budget conscious.
And the V1 is still completely functional, and is the second most accurate harness out there next to the V2.
In my opinion, alternate options are always a good thing, and I want to stress that we do not view anyone else's harness projects as any type of negative competition.
This V2 harness run is specifically geared for those Fett builders where accuracy is the most important factor, and who will never have to worry about upgrading ever again.
Here is a small description of our roles regarding this project:
My role was to provide the drawing with accurate dimensions of the harness, strapping, and strapping hardware, and provide general assistance with any manufacturing decision making.
Some of you may or may not be familiar with my work. Those that do, know that I regard screen accuracy as the most important factor in creating a replica. And the projects I choose to work on are almost never available to the general public.
This will be one of those rare occasions where a project I'm involved in will be made available to ANYONE who is interested in Fett accuracy.
I also wanted to point out that outside of getting a harness for myself, I am not making any money off of this run.
Most of the leg work will be performed via Gav and Rob, and because of that, I believe they are the ones deserving to benefit from it.
Mojo Fett (Gav)
Gav's role was to take my drawing, and from that create the breakdown CAD drawings that would be used by the fabrication shop for various jigs and assembly.
He will also share with Rob the role of liaison to the fabrication shop to oversee production and quality control.
Gav will also be the one who will handle all the financial aspects of the project including managing the sign up list.
BobbyFettUK (Rob)
Rob's role is to assist in creating/sewing the harness hardware and strapping. Many of you have already seen Rob's work in this area and can attest to it's quality.
Rob will also share with Gav the role of liaison to the fabrication shop to oversee production and quality control.
The harness drawing has already been sent to the fabrication shop and is just getting underway.
I'll let Gav take over from here and make a post with a sign up list, and misc. details including cost and payment arrangements.
I'm sure BFUK will chime in as well.
And with that, I give the mic to Gav and Rob.

There is a growing movement within the European Union to ban any form of speech which is offensive to ethnic, racial or gender groups. At a recent Writer's Festival, Czech Republic writer David Cerney argued attempts to stifle speech which some regard as demeaning or incorrect is the wrong approach and violates basic concepts of free speech. He points out banning racist speech does not halt racist thinking, but, may in effect, give a racist even stronger reasons for adhering to such thoughts. Dutch politician Geert Wilders called for banning the Koran and likened it to Hitler's Mein Kampf, he was prosecuted and prevented from entering Great Britain.
Today's "hate" can become tomorrow's belief. People have the right to express their ideas regardless of how distasteful they might be to others. Words do not kill unless the words are expressed to a group which then sets about hurting people. Over a hundred fifty years ago, England gave refuge to Karl Marx whose ideas eventually became accepted by nearly one third of humanity. Communism was not defeated by passing laws saying it was illegal to think in a communist manner, communism was defeated in the marketplace of ideas and accomplishments.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
I was once given a choice of a pack of crackers or Pop-Tarts...
I was given, on more than one occasion, Chick Tracts.
For my three year old that is allergic to corn, but is so looking forward to trick or treating... Almost all candy, because it's made with corn syrup. There's a few chocolate brands he can have, and that's about it as far as the usual bounty.
Oh those orange and black peanut butter things are the worst! How have they survived all these decades? I don't know anyone that likes them!
Fruit! What The Heck, people??!! You don't give fruit out on candy night! I can't tell you how many years I got an apple or an orange. Once even a banana. Very strange. It was one of those moments where you grin and bear it, then, when you're far enough away, turn to mom and say, "Really?"
:D But fortunately my 4-year-old has yet to receive any fruit.
Ugh the strawberry candies in their strawberry wrappers.
Dog doo doo..
Raisins and pencils. I've gotten both as a kid.
Religious tracts.
tippypaws wrote:Religious tracts.
Yup.. Try explaining to a 5 year old what eternal damnation is and why the nice lady who gave them the tract thinks they are going to hell for celebrating halloween...
rasor blades. That is worse than any candy, chip, or cupon.
pennies wrapped in plastic were the worst. Maybe in the good ole days when penny candy existed and we could go to Woolworths and get a phosphate together that was a good thing. Although, pencils and plastic combs are close runners up.
YES. There was a lady in my neighborhood who would give out little comic pamphlets about how Halloween is the devil's holiday and all of us trick-or-treaters were minions of satan. But she gave out the pamphlet in a bag of decent candy, so I guess there's that. Didn't want us to go hungry while we frolicked in the devil's eye, y'know.
Think the worst thing I've seen was a lady who left out a huge bucket of change. Some teenagers just came by, put the lid on it and rolled it off.
Candy corn. Lewis Black explains why, but I'm too busy to figure out how to post a link so Google it for a good laugh.
Handful of potato chips. My brother sat on the curb, picked though his bag & ate his, while I picked mine out & threw them on the ground.
Zagnuts. Mary Janes. And the taffy that was black, pink, and white. Whatever that was made your mouth numb.
And yes, those horrid peanut butter taffies in black and orange wrappers.
10 pennies in a plastic bag from grandma, every year, without fail...ugh. After 10 years I had a whole dollar!
I was given a religious pamphlet when I was young that informed me that Jesus was my Lord and Saviour... I already knew this, I just wanted candy.
ericajahnke wrote:10 pennies in a plastic bag from grandma, every year, without fail...ugh. After 10 years I had a whole dollar!
I see someone beat me to it. Pennies are the worst. Followed by stickers, I'd say.
Yup, those peanut butter candies and Mary Janes are the worst! I would eat one of each every year just to check to see if I suddenly liked them - never did.
A dead rodent.
rprebel wrote:I was given, on more than one occasion, Chick Tracts.
As long as one gets different ones they are a good laugh, plus they have one for every religion about how they are going to hell, that you can give to door-to-door religious salesmen.
Never actually got Chick tracts in my bag, but I have heard of people who do that to people. I can't imagine something more useless to hand out on Halloween. That, and if you don't believe in Halloween, shut the door and turn off the porch light. Real simple, and you're not buzzkilling a bunch of little kids who were having quite a good time until they got to your house.
I hated when people would put pennies in my trick or treat bag! What did they expect me to do with them save them up over 100years to buy a chocolate bar?!
My kids have come home with business cards and refrigerator magnets from the realtor who lives on our block.
I selected coupons, because they mean you have to go spend something. I will make an exception for the Plants vs Zombie coupon this year though. My kids will be finding that in their bag. As for the candy, honestly we don't eat it. My oldest doesn't like candy at all and the others get like one or two pieces a week and are more than happy with that. We give it away so I don't really care what it is.

We are excited to announce the launch of a new invited speaker series and inter-disciplinary scholarly community: The Working Group in Political Psychology and Behavior (WogPoP). Our motivation is to bring together a diverse and friendly community of scholars whose work relates to political behavior and psychology but for whom a strong cross-disciplinary venue for dialogue has so far been missing.
Topics such as identity politics, ethnic fractionalization, voting behavior, partisan identity, and corruption (to name just a few) are frequently addressed by scholars from American politics, comparative politics, public policy, social psychology, sociology and economics. We hope to provide this wide-ranging group of scholars, whose work shares a common denominator, an inter-disciplinary 'home' at this speaker series.
The faculty committee behind this initiative is diverse and committed to bridging disciplinary divides. Headed by Ryan Enos (Government, American Politics), the committee consists of Jim Sidanius (Social Psychology), Todd Rogers (HKS), Nahomi Ichino (Government, Comparative Politics) and Matthew Baum (HKS).
The speaker series will meet every other Friday during term. The list of events for this term is:
9/21 George Marcus (Political Science, Williams College). Title: "Tactical and Strategic Political Judgment: The Roles of Affective Intelligence, Personality, Political Convictions, and Context"
10/5 Shana Gadarian (Political Science, Syracuse University) Title: "Anxious Politics"
10/19 Ana De La O (Political Science, Yale University)
11/2 Jaime Napier (Social Psychology, Yale University)
11/16 Graduate student session
11/30 Daniel Hidalgo (Political Science, MIT)
In the spring term we will hear, among others, from Shanto Iyengar (Political Science, Stanford University) and Bertram Gawronski (Social Psychology, University of Western Ontario). Each term, there will also be a graduate student session, devoted to short presentations by graduate students and providing an opportunity for varied and inter-disciplinary feedback on works-in-progress.
All meetings will be held Fridays 12pm-1:30pm in CGIS K450. Lunch will be provided. If you would like to be added to the e-mail list, please contact Kris-Stella Trump (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Anthony Fowler (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Everyone is welcome to attend. Please circulate this message to others who may find the series interesting.

Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center has come a long way since 1897, when the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Chambéry overcame near-impossible odds to open a two-room hospital in Hartford's Asylum Hill neighborhood. The new hospital offered a refuge for immigrants who wanted to know that their faith and traditions would be understood and appreciated if they ever needed inpatient care.
From the beginning, Saint Francis served on the front lines against outbreaks of then-deadly infectious diseases, from typhoid fever to influenza and later polio. At the same time, Saint Francis doctors were quick to recognize that improving health required more than clinical work, and the first research laboratory opened in 1902, the same year that tuberculosis was reaching epic proportions in Hartford and across the United States.Learn more about our history.
While better sanitation, vaccines and antibiotics have tamed many of the early killers, Saint Francis is even busier today, tackling the healthcare threats and ailments of the modern world with technology and medical interventions that the founding sisters could not even imagine. But the very tenets upon which the hospital was founded – clinical excellence coupled with compassionate caring – have never changed.
In 1990, Saint Francis affiliated with Mount Sinai Hospital, a Jewish-sponsored institution that opened in 1923. Mount Sinai was born of a vision similar to the one that led to the founding of Saint Francis decades earlier. The collaboration marked the first recorded instance of a Catholic and Jewish hospital affiliation in United States history. The arrangement was formalized as a corporate merger in 1995.
As the needs of Connecticut residents evolve, so does Saint Francis. In 2011, the John T. O'Connell Tower opened its doors. Ten stories high, the tower features a new emergency department with 70 treatment areas, 13 sheltered ambulance bays, and a rooftop helipad. The upper floors are home to 19 new operating rooms and 135 private patient rooms, including two floors dedicated to orthopedics.
From a fledgling hospital with 32 patients in a ward, Saint Francis has grown into New England's largest Catholic hospital, with 617 licensed inpatient beds, 65 bassinets, and five centers of excellence that embrace patients at every stage of lifetime.
A regional referral center and major teaching hospital, Saint Francis provides sophisticated, contemporary medicine with major clinical concentrations in women's and children's services, oncology, cardiology, orthopedics, and rehabilitation.
Women and Children: Caring for women and children begins before conception and extends beyond retirement. Labor and delivery, gynecological care and comprehensive breast health are flagship programs of the Women's and Children's Health program. The New Beginnings Family Birth Care model provides a unique birthing experience for each mother and her family. It offers enhanced privacy features, attractive and comfortable surroundings and the latest medical technology. Facilities include:
Delivery by a nurse midwife is among the options available. Saint Francis midwives approach pregnancy as a healthy, empowering experience. Each prenatal visit is tailored to meet the physical, emotional, and informational needs of the woman and her family.
When gynecological problems arise, expert surgeons and minimally invasive technologies, including daVinci® robotic surgery, offer quicker recovery with better outcomes. At the Comprehensive Breast Health Center, women with routine, as well as complex, breast health concerns, benefit from our streamlined approach to breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and recovery. Although a mammogram is rarely pleasant, most women agree that waiting for the results is the hardest part. That's why the breast center at Saint Francis never makes women wait. As soon as an exam is complete, the digital x-ray is transmitted to an on-site radiologist who reads it and reports the results immediately. Every woman who has a mammogram at Saint Francis leaves the center knowing whether she can breathe easy for another year or if she needs more follow-up.
Saint Francis/Mount Sinai Regional Cancer Center is one of New England's leading outpatient cancer treatment centers, providing the latest technology and the most comprehensive range of treatment options in the region. More than 1,500 cancer patients and their families depend on the Saint Francis/Mount Sinai Regional Cancer Center every year. A team approach distinguishes the Saint Francis/Mount Sinai Regional Cancer Center. Specialists – medical, surgical, radiation, rehabilitation and others – can see each patient in a single visit. This innovative, one-stop approach streamlines the diagnosis and consultation process, allowing patients to move forward with a timely and comprehensive treatment plan. Individualized care plans can include a combination of conventional and investigational therapies through our access to more than 100 NCI-funded clinical trials. In addition, state-of-the-art radiation therapy techniques offer patients a wide variety of non-surgical options for cancer treatment. With CyberKnife® and the most up-to-date linear accelerators, Saint Francis/Mount Sinai Regional Cancer Center is equipped with gold-standard technology to treat a wide variety of cancers.
Hoffman Heart and Vascular Institute of Connecticut is the largest open-heart surgery center in Connecticut. In emergencies, Saint Francis delivers the fastest response to heart attack in the area. The institute also routinely performs more cardiac catheterizations than any other heart center in the state – numbers that directly correlate with saving lives. With state-of-the-art technology, Saint Francis cardiologists can also correct heart rhythm disorders and manage patients with advanced congestive heart failure. Of note, the institute's electrophysiology laboratories are equipped with StereotaxisR magnet-guided catheter technology, which allows treatment of atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias with pinpoint accuracy and increased safety. Because heart disease is also the leading cause of death in women, and frequently overlooked, the Women's Heart Program at Saint Francis is a risk reduction and education program for women designed to prevent heart attack and stroke. It is free to women over the age of 18, and includes an individualized risk assessment and a two-hour education session provided by a registered nurse, a registered dietician, and an exercise physiologist.
Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute (CJRI)is the newest of Saint Francis' Centers of Excellence. Led by fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons and located in the new John T. O'Connell Tower, CJRI is a "hospital within a hospital,'' with dedicated operating rooms and staff for hip and knee replacement. CJRI is recognized as one of the major arthritis and joint replacement centers on the East Coast. CJRI offers:
In addition to direct patient care, the staff of CJRI is involved in research in materials used in joint replacement surgery and in post-operative pain control. Given the aging baby boomer generation, the need for joint replacement procedures is expected to grow substantially nationwide by 2030. CJRI is well positioned to meet that need. Since it opened in 2007, CJRI has been the largest joint replacement center in Connecticut.
Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital is located on the campus of the former Mount Sinai Hospital in Hartford's North End. The 60-bed facility is Connecticut's only freestanding acute care rehabilitation hospital. Its focus is to restore the lives of people following serious illness or injury through programs for traumatic brain injury, stroke/neurological rehabilitation, sports medicine, spinal cord injuries and orthopedics. In addition, it offers rehabilitation services for patients who have become debilitated following a serious illness or a long hospital stay. The rehabilitation team also works closely with the staff of the Joyce D. and Andrew J. Mandell Center for Comprehensive Multiple Sclerosis Care and Neuroscience Research. The center provides MS patients with services that were not previously available in the region, including a unique robotic walking system, known as the Lokomat®, now being applied in specialized MS research.
In addition to its centers of excellence, Saint Francis offers a full range of expert medical and dental care with respected programs in:
In the same way that Saint Francis honors the legacy of the Sisters of Saint Joseph through its mission of compassionate care, the Hospital is always looking ahead to anticipate better ways to deliver that care in a rapidly changing healthcare environment. Responding to the dynamics of the changing marketplace, the Hospital adopted a strategy to meet the healthcare challenges and opportunities confronting us today - and tomorrow. The plan sets forth a road map for delivering on its promise of BestCare for a Lifetime. The result is a patient-centered model of care designed to produce a patient experience of the highest measurable quality for the communities we serve.
From its humble beginnings, Saint Francis has continuously responded to the community's evolving healthcare needs through a combination of the best clinical care, the best training of healthcare professionals, top-level research, and community support. Together, these principles have allowed us to build a 119-year tradition of providing the best care for a lifetime.

I went to the website from outdooralabama which led me to this link about the Jackson WMA

For the waterfowl season, it says NO OPEN SEASON.
I thought you were allowed to duck hunt in Raccoon Creek Mud Creek etc etc.
I am sure I am just missing something as I am very new to duck hunting.

Just a thought really and don't know the technical logistics - but I thought it would be a good idea if there was a small live chat applet on the gallery page that logged in members could use. I've seen them on other sites where you can chat with people who are currently online. A lot of the time when I am browsing the photos I see that others are on as well and just felt it would be nice to be able to say hello without having to use the comments field. The applet doesnt have to take up too much space and could be as small as 2 inches sqaure. As I said it was just a thought and don'y know if anyone else would be interested or how hard it would be for Mark to do it.

Tested out the AGP 10 round mag I bought from DPH yesterday.
According to this thread on the Saiga forum AGP Mags - forum.Saiga-12.com
They some times require a break in period or a slight adjustment to run 100%
I loaded it up and on the second round I got a jam, resulting in the photo below. I cleared the jam and finished off the mag with no further problems. I then filled it up again and dumped it as fast as I could, again it fed flawlessly.
I only brought one box of shells (25) and had run the first 5 out of the stock mag first. So my testing period ended there. (thankfully for my shoulder)
A nice feature is that they are screwed together, so they can be opened up for cleaning etc.
Bottom line, after the one hiccup on the second round, it ran great the rest of the way.
I'm sold on these mags even though I'm not a fan of US made AK mags. Plus they count as 3 parts for 922r. I will be getting some more.

Green Bay Hosts Illinois-Springfield Sunday at Noon
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Sunday marks the final game of a four-game homestand, as Green Bay hosts Illinois-Springfield at 12 p.m. The Phoenix will look to continue to build momentum and post its first three-game winning streak of the season before its Horizon League schedule kicks off on Jan. 3 at Wright State. Green Bay has won two games in a row after victories at the Resch Center over Marquette and South Dakota.
The Prairie Stars will be the fourth-straight Phoenix opponent visiting Green Bay for the first time. IUS, which has not played since Dec. 13, has dropped three games in overtime this season, including two in a row. Illinois-Springfield is led by 6-foot-10 big man Dylan Sparkman, who is averaging 13 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. The Prairie Stars score 72.7 points per game but have been plagued by an average of 17.6 turnovers per game.
After a pair of road games to start Horizon League play, the Phoenix returns home for another four-game homestand beginning Jan. 9. Green Bay hosts Loyola (Jan. 9), UIC (Jan. 12), Youngstown State (Jan. 17) and Cleveland State (Jan. 19) in an 11-day stretch.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Fans in the seats or those unable to attend Sunday's will be able to follow the action in numerous ways on Saturday night. The game will be carried live by WDUZ The Fan 1400 AM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call with Cordero Barkley. Live stats and live video will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. HOME SWEET HOME: Geen Bay is 4-1 at home this season after the victory over Marquette. In the past three seasons under head coach Brian Wardle, the Phoenix is 26-7 at the Resch Center, including a 16-3 mark since the start of the 2011-12 season. With 17 or more points in all five games, sophomore Keifer Sykes is averaging 22.0 points per game and is 45-53 from the free-throw line at home this season (84.9 percent).
2. HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Sykes celebrates his 19th birthday today as the most recent winner of Horizon League Player of the Week honors, which he won on Dec. 24. The 5-foot-11 Sykes averaged 18.5 points and 6.5 assists per game in wins over Marquette and South Dakota and ranks second in the Horizon League averaging 16.8 points per game.
3. CATCH THE ROAD ACTION: As Green Bay starts Horizon League play at Wright State and Detroit, both games will be televised in Northeast Wisconsin by Sports32. The contest at WSU on Jan. 3 at 6 p.m. will have Chris Roth and Andrew Gavin on the call from Dayton, and the Phoenix game at Detroit at 1 p.m. is the Horizon League Game of the Week.
• HANDLE THE ROCK: Since a forgettable opener in which he committed eight turnovers without an assist, Sykes has been terrific handling the ball. After an eight assist outing against South Dakota, Sykes has now dished out 44 assists compared to just 19 turnovers in the past 11 games. In addition to ranking second in the conference in points, he is seventh in assist-to-turnover ratio and eight in assists.
• IN GOOD COMPANY: Sykes was added to the Bob Cousy Watch List as one of the nation's top point guards. The honor named after Hall of Famer Bob Cousy is handed out at the Final Four to the player named the top point guard in the country.
• HAULING IN 500: Junior Alec Brown had one of his best efforts of the season against South Dakota. The 7-foot-1 big man was an efficient 8-of-10 from the field and made both of his threes en route to a game-high 19 points. Brown also grabbed eight rebounds to become the 14th Phoenix player to corral 500 for his career. He now has 506 career rebounds, grabbing 183 offensive rebounds and 323 defensive rebounds in 42 games. Brown ranks in a tie for fourth in the Horizon League in rebounds per game this season (6.8).
• HOME FREE: Led by perfection from junior Kam Cerroni (21-21), the charity stripe has been kind to the Phoenix this season as the team is 26th nationally in free throw percentage. Green Bay has been especially efficient at the line at the Resch Center, shooting 78.0 percent (110-141) from the line and making exactly twice as many free throws as its opponents (110-55). Cerroni is a perfect 12-of-12 from the stripe at home while Sykes has connected on 54-for-66 from the line at the Resch Center.
• HISTORIC WIN: Not only was Green Bay's 49-47 win over Marquette historic because it was the first time the Golden Eagles had visited Green Bay in 12 all-time meetings, but it was also the first Phoenix victory in the series since Jan. 7, 1995 (50-48). Green Bay improved to 3-9 all-time in the series and, of course, 1-0 at home.
• STIFLING DEFENSE: Green Bay played almost exclusively zone defense in Wednesday's win over Marquette, and the scrappy Phoenix stifled the Golden Eagles throughout the night, especially in the second 20 minutes. In the second half, Marquette scored just 16 points and made 6-of-22 field goals. The 47 points scored were the fewest by a Phoenix opponent since holding Loyola to 47 points on Dec. 3, 2011. Green Bay's 49 points scored were the fewest scored in a Phoenix win since beating Detroit 45-42 on Jan. 30, 2006.

Since I have been gone all month, what are the water levels in the Mud, Gull, Swan, and Leaf lakes like?
I don't know what I will be up to on the opening so I would like to know if the lack of rain has left the marsh too low to run my black brant in.
thanks, Ray

I've spent the past two days at Finovate Europe in London, which has rapidly established itself as the leading European retail financial technology event of the year. This year's event was bigger than last year's, with 64 exhibitors spread over the two days.

The best time is in the winter when it is cold outside...and I can just trot downstairs and pull off a huge bowl of lettuce for dinner that night.
You get a 100,000 small business loan, pocket the money for the first 5 years while claiming nothing on your taxes, filter off the assets out the back door while not paying off your vendors, then filed bankruptcy. In the end, it's probably good for a cool quarter million in the pocket. :-DIf you do it right, you can walk away clean and then do it again somewhere else.

Stop the Ondrusek, I want to get off.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
I bet Masset will replace Ondrusek before too long.
Guy gives up a solo homer and this thread gets bumped. We should have a thread for every player to complain when something bad happens.
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
Yeah, I didn't see the Simon, Lecure, and Redmond threads light up.
"I can't take this homerism anymore." - 10xWSChamps, August 11, 2010. A Cardinals fan having a problem with all the homerism on Redszone. Classic.
"Man do I miss the days where were didn't need a calculator and an encyclopedia of baseball metrics to enjoy a baseball game ... - MikeS21" - 8/2/12 game thread
Forget Hoover. Just send Ondrusek down when Votto comes back.
Simon and LeCure can go more the two innings, Arredondo and Marshall can go two innings and Chapman can have 4-5 out saves. Absolutely no need to have 12 pitchers on this 25 man roster.

Sean Lowe sent Desiree Hartsock packing, but "The Bachelor" says the26-year-old beauty has his vote for the new "Bachelorette"!
"In my opinion, I think it has to be Des," Sean told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Thursday's Access Hollywood Live, when asked which girl he thinks should be crowned the new "Bachelorette." "I mean, she's America's sweetheart."
PLAY IT NOW: The Bachelor: The Women Tell All - Tierra On How It Was 'Hard To Face' Everyone
When Sean kicked the LA-based bridal stylist off of the ABC reality dating series, he said he received a ton of online heat from angry viewers slamming him for making (what they deemed) the wrong decision.
"I got just killed on Twitter after I sent her home!" he said. "Everyone was saying, 'You idiot! How could you let her go?'"

While picking a lady from a bevy of 25 eligible beauties may seem like a dream job, Sean admitted his emotions got the best of him a few times - especially when discussing his choices with his teary mom.
"[My mom] is the sweetest woman in the world -- I hate seeing her cry. She was so stressed out for me," he said. "She knew I had this monumental decision in front of me, and I think she wants the best for her son and she didn't want me to make a mistake. So, it was stressing her out."
Adding, "I think throughout the season I did a good job at keeping myself grounded, because that's where I come from."

Fluidra Customer Story
Global and corporate document management
Fluidra is a multinational group dedicated to developing applications for sustainable water use. The services Fluidra offers cover the whole water cycle, from transportation and conservation through to treatment and use of water, for domestic, public, agricultural and industrial purposes.
Headquartered in Sabadell (Barcelona), Fluidra has been trading on the Spanish stock exchange since 2007 and currently has more than 3,700 employees. The company has a presence in 41 countries through 150 delegations and production centers, spread over all five continents.
A respect for water and its rational use are the foundations of this company's philosophy and its commitment to society.
Previous situation
The rapid growth and territorial expansion that Fluidra has experienced since its creation in 1969 have contributed to the decentralization of information in its four business units (Pool/Wellness, Water Treatment, Irrigation and Fluid Handling).
Each of these generated the information required for its own specific requirements, forming islands of information that maintained a certain internal and individual standardization; however, the group suffered from a lack of global organization.
"The documentation was managed and hosted on local servers; the group's different central departments, which specified what this information should be, requested it from the business units, resulting in the constant transfer of data that included a great potential risk" describes Joan Soriano, an IT Project Manager with Fluidra. "While control of versions did exist on a local level, it did not on a corporate level".
With the aim of resolving this situation, Fluidra finally looked into introducing a platform for global document management and, along with its partner CSC (Computer Sciences España), embarked on the Alfresco project in November 2012. "We selected Alfresco because it is open source and because of its huge potential to expand into other areas of the company without the requirement of additional licenses; furthermore, through being a corporate platform, we were guaranteed that it could be configured and adapted to meet the challenges thrown up by Fluidra's documents and content", says Joan Soriano.
Implementation of the new document manager
Fluidra products are currently distributed in over 170 countries thanks to an extensive commercial network. More than 50,000 articles are hosted on the Alfresco document management solution, with the capacity to support up to 350,000. Each of these articles has multiple associated documents, such as images, layouts, technical characteristics, marketing documents, videos, etc.
"Our main objective with the project to implement Alfresco is a centralized management of documentation and characteristics of Fluidra articles, creating a platform for document management and workflows that is simultaneously integrated with corporate applications: ERPs (Movex and AS/400) and web services (intranet portal and B2B webs)", explains Joan Soriano.
This is a multi-language platform (Spanish, English, German, French and Italian) and, despite being designed for 3,000 users, it is currently simultaneously used by 200 people, who benefit from its two main advantages on a daily basis: Centralization of all corporate documentation; and the degree of traceability of all the information, from the ERP to the document manager, and even its publication on B2B portals and the intranet. Everything is integrated.
Following the implementation process, Fluidra and CSC have made various personalizations to the Alfresco platform, such as the creation of document types and property files to catalog the information associated with an article; the configuration of searches for quick and safe access to documentation; generation of forms, file structures and related documents; preview of documents included in lists; and, finally, the creation of groups, roles and users, both functional and technical, associated to documentation and the file repository.
"With the new Alfresco document platform we have achieved numerous internal improvements, such as allowing the whole organization to standardize its document processes, and access being available to the latest version of a given document from any geographical location", says Joan Soriano.
Fluidra gains the following benefits from using the Alfresco document management solution:
- Shared repository: Consolidation and centralization of the documentation and format generated for each article
- Authenticity of information: A sole authentic copy of each document, independently from who accesses it and what process it is accessed from
- Easy, direct and fast access: Search format based on the definition of a system for cataloging or common properties
- Standardization in the retrieval of data from an article
- Control and visibility of the state of the articles based on workflows
- E-mail notifications
- Full auditing of the system
- Definition of roles, and secure access and document management
- Control of document versioning
- Ease of access to generated documentation from any geographical point
Fluidra maintains that it made a firm decision to opt for Alfresco, in fact the project is even being expanded into other areas of the organization at the moment.

"Mommy, what is celiac disease?"
How many parents had to answer that question? How do you explain everything that celiac disease entails to a young child? There are dozens of books that list symptoms, foods that are safe and those that should be avoided, recipes, tips for traveling, etc., but can you think of any that are geared towards children? Drawing a blank?
Luckily new author, Katie Chalmers, fills that void with her new children's book, Mommy, What is Celiac Disease? The story of a little girl and her mother playing at the park while talking about celiac answers the common questions that kids may have when they first learn they've been diagnosed with the disease. Which snacks are OK, can they still eat cake and ice cream at birthday parties, and what about sandwiches and fried foods? They all get answered.
The scientific aspects of gluten also get discussed. What gluten is, how it effects your body, and how to follow a gluten free diet are all mentioned. The book ends with a resource page and Chalmers' favorite gluten free go-to products.
I thought this book was adorable. Not only is the quizzical little girl darling, but the story explains celiac disease in the simplest of ways. While reading I thought to myself, "This book would be great for adults too!" I've had several encounters with people that just didn't get it. Mommy, What is Celiac Disease? breaks it down, making it understandable for anyone.
As promised, I've teamed up with some really wonderful gluten free bloggers to bring you the "Gluten Free Holiday Giveaway Galore"!

Kentucky Derby Contenders: Odds say Verrazano will end Wood Memorial curse
How much wood would a Wood Memorial winner win if a Wood winner would win the Kentucky Derby?
That's a silly twist on the woodchuck tongue twister, but it begs the question since Derby favorite Verrazano's last win was the Wood Memorial on April 6: why do winners of that historic race never seem to perform well a few weeks later when they run for the roses at Churchill Downs?
And what is the recent hex that has seen three of the past four Wood Memorial winners sustain injuries and unable to fulfill their duty as leading Kentucky Derby contenders?
Since 2004, the Wood has been a springboard for 19 Kentucky Derby starters. But none of them finished any better than a fourth in those nine races.
"Maybe it is a curse or just really bad luck," said veteran handicapper Michael Dempsey of TurfnSport.com, who has covered the New York circuit for three decades.
The last time a Wood Memorial winner turned out to be a successful bet on the Kentucky Derby, it was Fusaichi Pegasus back in 2000.
Verrazano, the top betting choice at 4-1 according to OddsShark.com Derby odds page, is unbeaten in four starts including the Wood and the Tampa Bay Derby back in March.
"Verrazano has been the early betting favorite for months, and is likely going to be sent off as the favorite on Derby Day, but his Wood was not that fast," said Dempsey. "And remember his trainer Todd Pletcher has a bit of a curse going as well, as he is just 1-for-33 in the Derby."
A year ago, Gemologist won the Wood but was a disappointing 16th in the Derby after going off at 6-1 odds. "He was highly regarded and was sent off as the third choice, and he just did not fire," said Dempsey.
In the three years before that, Wood winners Toby's Corner, Eskendereya and I Want Revenge all came up a bit lame on the first Saturday in May and did not run.
Since Fusaichi Pegasus's win, no Wood runner has finished higher than fourth at Churchill Downs.
"Both I Want Revenge and Eskendereya would have been the betting favorites, and although Toby's Corner would have been more of a price, I liked that colt too," added Dempsey, who was recently introduced as the main handicapping voice at USRacebook.com.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
well, i'd go for 162 and call it 100% freestyle board for me.
For forest and 1-2 meters of powder my NS was fine. but sometimes i want it to be longer =)
I think fast turns require some skills, may be later you'll realize, that on a softer board it's impossible to do intensive and faster turns with 240lbs on it.
If you're looking for something smaller i'd got for Heritage. But libtech with 25% off looks sweet.
I am riding at Bulgaria mainly at ski slopes and in the forest on fresh powder. Presently, my board (first board) is second hand 170cm option supercharger (unknown Canadian brand). I feel it very stiff and quite difficult to do intensive and fast turns with it. I am looking for multipurpose board that I can do freeride and some further tricks like butters, ollies, tamedog, 180s (360s probably).
That's why I am looking for something shorter 165cm.
I can get off -20% from lib-tech and gnu. I'm trying do get something descent on descent price, because I have to spent also for new bindings and boots.
Im pretty much as big as you are and if you're not going to hit the park, i recommend to get something stiffer then Skunk ape.
I got a NS Legacy-R for 4 years and now i switched for Donek.
I realized that custom-made boards are not that pricey, and the fact that you can get exactly what you want makes it way better.
For my US13 and 21 -3 stance i find NS legacy hard to carve low. I got a toe drag, once i set angles like 36 18 i feel that board is flexy and i cannot carve it well.
And now, you gotta find hot you're gonna ride: freeride or park.
On my Legacy i was able (keep in mind 230lbs and 195cm) to do 360(really bad, but anyways) some simple tricks on rails like 50-50 180 out and ride freeride for sure.
Now i've ordered custon board which will be stiffer, longer and wider.
If you go for a freeride board you will be limited in
You can do it, but it'd be waaay harder.
On a park board you will be limited in:
-high speed
i say you'll be limited, but you can try anyway.
If you go freeride i see no reason to get a smaller board, grab the longest stick. I know the freeride in KAzachstan and in US differs alot, but with your weight you better get a float, cause get stuck in powder really sucks.
Guys, do you think that 26.8 waist will fit 14US (12UK) size boots?
Skunk Apes' dimensions are:
Tail and Nose: 30.7cm
Waist: 26.8cm
|I rode the 166 btx for a bit (i am smaller then you) the model i had had blunted ends and was a tad bit too big for me. If i was larger it might have been perfect though. I chose it over the skunk ape because it was cheaper and "seemed" like it had a better base, although with how lib names their bases who knows. I think the skunk ape has an extruded base though and riders choice has a sintered. I could be mistaken.

Skunk Ape looks for board and boots
Hello, guys
I am obsessed from snowboarding since the last winter. I am beginner with around 30 riding days riding. I managed to do some freeride days around the forest and I am more about addicted.
I bought some second equipment to see if I fall in love and now I am considering to buy something that will fit my skills and give me possibility to develop new one.
Present Equipment
I have second hand 170cm Option Supercharger board.
Awful second hand ride bindings with broken straps.
I rent a boots. (I had K2 T1, but they are more than stiff for me and I sold them).
Where I want to go further?
I am looking for snowboard that will give me the confidence to develop new skills: switch riding, confidence at high speed and carving, freeride and definetly I want to start doing some ground tricks like ollies, 180s and some day probably butters and small jumps. I defiantly love freeriding, but what about parks? Probably, it is too early to try that.
I am body measurement. I am 6' 5" (195cm) and 240lbs (107kg). So I need wide board. I am a bit confused about that. After reading a lot of posts and articles I am getting more and more confused what I should get.
I have looked for the following boards:
- Lib Tech Skunk Ape
- GNU Riders' Choice (I can get it at very good price)
- Never Summer Legacy/Heritage X
- K2 Turbo Dream
What is the perfect size for me? I suppose that 165/166cm is the best, isn't it?. The current board is so difficult to carve and bend. It's very long for me.
Boots are totally unclear for me. I think to buy something around 5/6 flex. Is it soft for me? I loves the BOA Lancing system, because it make me easy and fast setup the boots.
I have seen the 32 Binary Boots, which are BOA and 5 flex. Do you have any other options and recommendations?

The Iranian government which supports numerous terrorist groups throughout the Middle East such as Hizbullah is upset at the British government's decision to remove its ban on Mujahedin e-Khain(MKO) which has been creating problems inside Iran for over thirty years. The MKO is founded in an Islamic-Marxist base and, although supporting the overthrow of the Shah in the 1970s, has not been a supporter of the present government of Iran. It has conducted raids and bombings, and was responsible for the assassinations of several prominent Iranian clerics in the early 1980s. The MOK received support from Saddam Hussein and was initially friendly with Americans but has subsequently become identified by America as a terrorist organization.
MOK is listed by the European Union and the United States as a terrorist group, but a British court ordered it be removed from the terror list. Ironically, Iran which encourages terrorist groups is now complaining that other nations will not join its efforts to deal with the MOK.

LOVE this taste!
I love this pomegranate powder mixed with banana, honey, Golden berries, Gojiberries and bee pollen, frozen! Yum! It's like a healthy dessert. =) It's somewhat sticky if you get the powder on the sides of the blender, but that's about all the drawbacks I can find about this product. The taste is quite sour, but in a good way. Balanced with a bit of honey it gives a really nice zing to fruity/berry smoothies.

After reading all of the reviews of this product, I instantly had to buy it. I have to say it was a bit disappointing though. It might have something to do with the humid weather, but the powder instantly transformed into a slimy substance that attatched itself to everything, and it was hard for me to find any use for it. The taste was alright, but I didn't like the consistence of the powder once you ate it, and the aftertaste wasn't particularly nice.

I have read a lot about the benefits of pomegranate (scientific studies). It protects from - and also heals - atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). It lowers bad lipids in the blood. It diminishes cardiac fibrosis in diabetic rats. It is ANTI-breast cancer (it actually eats away the cancer). Thus this is the best estrogen replacement if one needs extra hormones and do not want to risk cancer. It contains bio-identical 17-alpha estradiol (good for the brain), estriol and estrone. I cannot take phytoestrogens like red clover, soy etc. because of uterine fibroids and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). But, the pomegranate does not increase the fibroids, actually they have shrunk. Although estrogen dominant (more estrogen than progesterone) I have too litte estrogens for optimal health, and menopausal symptoms since I was 28. Synthetic estrogens make me ill. Pomegranate powder (2 tablespoons a day, one in the morning, one in the evening), have treated all symptoms, including incontinence. It noticeably lowers my blood sugar after meals. I am a lean PCOS woman however with belly fat, but the belly fat it is shrinking, melting away.

This is my first try at a pomegranate powder, and it seems to be top notch! I use it in homemade sweets/treats so I haven't tried mixing it with any liquid, but since it's such a fine powder I'm assuming it mixes well. It has a tart taste - perfect for a sour candy substitute! And sooo good for you:)
Nydelig smak!

Postcards from the Pit: The Felice Brothers / Yellowbirds / Mail the Horse, Mercury Lounge, 12/31/12
And now, at long last, the promised pictures from the Felice Brothers' New Years Eve show. Starting from the beginning, with Mail the Horse: Yellowbirds were up next; they're also from Brooklyn, and were an odd little burst of power-pop in the middle of a twangy, fuzzed-out evening: And then, The Felice Brothers, who played a bunch of crowd favorites (ones I can remember: Frankie's Gun, Cumberland Gap, Whiskey in my Whiskey, White Limousine, Run, Chicken, Run), surprised us with an appearance by Simone Felice, poured us into the New Year with Take This Bread, ceded their stage to a member of the audience for a (successful!) marriage proposal, and at the end shut the place down with back-to-back covers of Carry That Weight by The Beatles and Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. Carry That Weight I sang along with out of . . . habit, for lack of a better term. It's the Beatles, I'm not that keen on them but it's a communal thing to do, rolling with the crowd-swell for the chorus, acknowledging that 2012 was rough and 2013 may not be much better but … Continue reading

I need a flight suit and was thinking abought buying one at an Army surplus store but was wondering if anyone knew of an easier way.
I need a flight suit and was thinking abought buying one at an Army surplus store but was wondering if anyone knew of an easier way.
That's probably the easiest, it's already made, and probably not too expensive. I used black Dickies coveralls for a tie fighter pilot I did last year.
I made all that stuff (except the helmet) before I realized you could buy it. My Jango is being done right. If your picky there are a couple of board members that make realy nice suits to your size specifications, but it'll cost more.
Get 2 pairs of the Dickies coveralls. They come in navy blue and they are about $30 each.
Who makes the nicest suit on the boards for Jango?
x-mart said:
We do not like to dicuss -the best- in term of anyones work here.
You can ask for different works from people who build Jango's but I would reword your question
Well than..since I'm not a Jango enthusiast "yet"..I'm looking for "movie accurate" (shape and color wise) custom sized jumpsuit for my Jango
Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanx man, that's a pretty cool TIE suit. I'll head over to the surplus store.
I need a new flight suit. My current one is wearing out.asok said:
Bill, are Dickies coveralls the ones you wear? Thanks.
I too would love to find a member I can commission to make me a top grade Jango Jumpsuit. Please submit recommendations.
Hey Asok, is the dickies link to the "most Accurate" jango color they offer?
jangofett76 said:
My first set where. My ones are where made by me.
dont most people use a shirt and pants for jango instead of a flightsuit?
BobaMaker offers a Jango flight-suit, anyone got one?
If so, any comments or Pics?
I suspect I'll get one if I hear nothing negative, then pics will follow.
Your best bet for coveralls is to get a pair of Red Kapp coveralls (can't think of the specific color right now) and convert them because they make the closest in coloring to the color you want for a Jango flightsuit out of all the major coverall makers. Look for Skalen Fehl's (sp?) thread of his suit and you can see the kick butt job he did on converting a pair.
I have a pair and they would have been perfect if I hadn't made my own.
Now if your thinking about going with two pieces, a separate top and bottom...then I'd always thought about looking into those hospital garbs (don't know what they call them) because they come in a wide range of colors and look comfortable to wear. But I don't know if they make them with long sleeves or without the V neck? But I'd think it'd be easy to alter a top of one of those to have a double sleeve.

I bought some dark navy Dickies coveralls for my Jango. I looked at the flight suit that BKBT made for me and the new one looks dark. What should I do? Thanks.
The one that BKBT made for me is getting holes in them where I put snaps on the flight suit to the armor pieces. That's why I needed a new one to look a little nicer.
How are the Navy blue coveralls weathered and recolored to look more of that lighter more accurate purpleish color? Im in the military and we wear dark blue coveralls so I have tons of them hanging in my closet. But I need to know what to do to conver them to the right color.
Let me know

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I second the NS Pandora.
For speed and pow, the Infinity is much better. But it's stiffer, so it limits your jibbing capabilities. The Pandora is really great on the ice, though. Then again, so is the Infinity.
I'm riding Burton Lexas right now. I like them. I have been using them in everything from pow to park. They're really light. They fixed the toe cap so it doesn't suck anymore.
I've also heard good things, and was looking at, Rome Madisons before I bought the Lexas.
For park specific stuff, I've heard good things about the men's Ride Contrabands--Don't know how the women's stack up, but I imagine they are pretty similar.
Men's gear would make a huge difference. Men's bindings are wider, so if you want to check out men's bindings, bring a boot with you to check for a good fit. The highbacks are also higher on a men's binding, which isn't designed for women's calves. It doesn't mean you can't rock them, just find ones that fit properly.
Boots are all about fit. Try them on. Try them on. Try them on. I have Nike Zoom Force1s and they are incredibly comfortable. I have never had a boot that didn't give me pain--these don't. My toes will sometimes get numb, but a good wiggle, or loosening the laces for a minute relieves that. I'm not used to lace-up boots so I haven't found the happy medium between too tight and snug enough. The Nike's are a little narrow. But they are really nice. There are a lot of boot options and different lacing systems. Try them out and see what you like best. Spend the dough on good boots. Your feet with thank you.
Well there is no board that will do all of those things well. A board for jibbing, for example, will be a lot softer than a board that's good in the pipe or on jumps.
A true twin will definitely help with riding switch. Also consider a board with good edge control on ice, since that's what you'll be riding.
You may want a softer board than the ones I listed if you're interested in jibs and ground tricks. My current board may be a good choice: Never Summer Pandora. It grips well on ice and is damp enough to absorb choppy mountain conditions. It is a true twin that's soft, but with enough pop for jumps.
Also check out the Roxy Eminence and the Arbor Cadence. The Capita Space Metal Fantasy is a very fun board - noodly soft for ground tricks and jibs, but still fairly soft all mountain.
thanks for the recommendation...i'll look into those boards...what about bindings and boots??
i'm about 130lbs. i live in ontario, canada so i don't have a lot of big mountains to play with. the conditions at local "mountains" are usually kinda icy or thin powder
i am planning to go to vermont next year and whistler the year after.
i don't know all the terms and lingo with snowboarding so bear with me...
i think i'm looking for a twin board because i want to learn to ride switch...and my ultimate goal is to do the pipe. since this season is almost over, my goals for next year is to try bigger jumps, jibs, and ground tricks (butters/presses)..i figured these tricks will look extra sexy if i could switch between both legs.
any tips or pointers? recommendations? any advice will help. thanks!
How much do you weigh? Where do you ride?
You'll probably want a good all-mountain board with some pop.
K2 EcoPop
Ride OMG
Arbor Eden or Cadence
Never Summer Infinity
Bataleon Violenza
Burton Feelgood
Roxy Eminence
Looking for Second set of equipment - Suggestions?!?!
So I've been snowboarding for 3 years now, and have been riding on the same equipment:
Board: 2010 Nitro Lectra 142
Bindings: Forum (no clue which kind. probably 2009/2010)
Boots: Burton (may be mens. my bf has the exact same ones. sales person said it was unisex)
This was my beginners set and i believe that i'm good enough to upgrade my equipment.
i am female, 5'6" can handle blacks/double blacks no problem. recently started small jumps and jibbing.
I believe i would like to progress with jumps (and eventually half pipe) and ground tricks (presses, butters, etc).... there are too many different boards/bindings/boots out there and i don't know where to start. was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. It's also kinda frustrating that a lot of your great recommendations are for men's equipment.... was wondering if getting gear for men would make a big difference. please advise. Thanks.

Arsenal face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday and are priced up at 13/5 with GunnersGaming to secure their first victory of the season.
Arsène Wenger's team have shared the spoils in their first two games but are yet to open their account at the sharp end of the field.
As a result, GunnersGaming are offering odds on which player will get the first goal and how it will be scored.
Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski are joint favourites at 11/5, while Santi Cazorla offers good value at 9/2. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Thomas Vermaelen both look like interesting outside bets at 6/1 and 27/2 respectively.
A right-footed shot is odds-on at 3/4 to provide the breakthrough, followed by a header or left-footed shot at 27/10. A penalty is 4/1, while an own goal is the 14/1 outsider.
As far as this fixture is concerned, Arsène Wenger's side have not lost at Anfield in the last five seasons. They have twice emerged victorious by a 2-1 scoreline, including their latest encounter in March, and the same outcome has been priced up at 10/1.
In the first-goalscorer market, Giroud, who came closest to netting at Stoke last weekend, is joint favourite at 7/1. Germany international Podolski is the other market leader, while Cazorla is priced up at 9/1.
Fancy winning two VIP tickets to see Arsenal v Southampton on September 15? All you have to do is fill in the GunnersGaming fan survey to be entered into the draw. For full T&Cs click here.

High Country Baking: Blueberry Buckle
August 7, 2012
Would you like to finish off your meal with a buckle? If you're like me, you picture yourself chewing on a boiled belt and reply with a resounding, "No, thank you!" We'd probably view the invitation with more enthusiasm if we knew that early American fruit desserts have notably unappealing names and that the buckle in question is actually a tender yellow cake baked with a slurry of fresh, sweetened blueberries. In spite of its title, this Blueberry Buckle is really quite delicious.
Like most of the desserts originating in our country's heartland, this poorly named pastry is simple, straightforward and comes together without the need for exotic ingredients or fancy equipment. In fact, it doesn't even require an electric mixer. First, the berries are cooked briefly, until they're softened and their juices thickened. The dry ingredients for the cake are then combined, followed by the wet ones. Finally, the two mixtures are blended into a batter, put in the pan, and the berries are poured over it. As the buckle bakes, the cake rises and becomes beautifully moistened by the fruit. The overall result is down-to-earth goodness.
The buckle, which should be served warm, cries out for ice cream; the two were simply made for each other.
This dessert is best the day that it is made, but it can be prepared earlier than serving time and reheated.
Vera Dawson, a chef instructor with CMC's Culinary Institute, lives in Summit County, where she bakes almost every day. Her recipes have been tested in her home kitchen and, whenever necessary, altered until they work at our altitude. Contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Adjusted for altitudes between 8,000 and 10,000 feet
Make in an 8X8 inch square pan with sides at least 2 inches high
1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup) of granulated sugar, preferably Baker's
1/4 cup of water
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons of cornstarch
2 cups of fresh blueberries, washed and dried
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup of whole milk
8 tablespoons (one stick) of unsalted butter plus more for preparing the pan
1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
01 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, with a rack in the center position. Grease the pan with softened butter or a vegetable oil spray. Assemble the required ingredients. Melt the unsalted butter and set it aside.
02 Add the third-cup of sugar, the water, lemon juice and cornstarch to a medium saucepan and whisk to combine them well. Gently stir in the blueberries with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon. Place the pan on medium-low heat and bring the berry mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently. Simmer for about 4 minutes, until the juices are thickened by the cornstarch and some of the berries soften. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
03 Add the flour, the baking powder, the remaining half-cup sugar and the salt to a mixing bowland whisk to combine them well. In another mixing bowl, whisk the egg, milk and melted butter until blended. Add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture and whisk or stir just until they are just combined. Don't overbeat; the batter doesn't have to be completely smooth. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and pour the blueberry mixture evenly over it. Bake until the cake rises through the berries, turns a golden color and a knife inserted in it comes out clean (there may be some berries on it, but no cake batter). This takes from 28 to 35 minutes in my oven.
04 Cool the buckle on a rack for at least 10 minutes before serving it with ice cream. The dessert can be cooled completely and reheated later in the day in a low (300 degree) oven until warm to the touch.
This recipe is a variation of one from Gourmet Magazine.
