Reviews of this property
Stephen and Velma are very nice hosts. The apartment is well situated, 10 mn walking from subway station. You can find everything you need (groceries...) nearby. The neighborhood had a bad reputation in the past but It looks quite safe at the moment and it is lively. The only thing is that the apartment really needs some renovation.
El trato recibido fue genial, el apartamento esta muy bien con todo lo que necesitas en una zona muy tranquila. Velma y su marido son super amables y siempre nos facilitaron las cosas.
First, the neigberhood! Amazing, its just after that we realise it was in the childhood of our favorite hip hop artists. The owner was friendly and easygoing, she gave us all the indications that we needed. Métro station by 10 minutes walks. If you dont wanna return un Manhattan for the dinner, you can have wathever you want for good restaurants, less than 15 minutes walk. The only bad comment i can say is that the appartement miss some finished on the details like paint and materials... Overall it was just what we need for 2 nights. I would come again for sure, more for the environnement itselfe than the appartement who was actully great but mot more than that for the price.
We kregen uiteindelijke een ander appartement dan dat we voor betaald hadden, dus dat viel tegen. Het appartement was niet bijzonder, veel trappen en oude troep. Slechte bedden en muizen door de kamer. We hebben ondanks alles wel genoten want het is wel fijn als je met meerdere mensen bent, om samen na te kunnen praten en je eigen ontbijtje te maken. We hebben Stephen en Velma nauwelijks gezien, dus van tips was geen sprake. Ik zou het niet zo snel meer doen. Beter orienteren in welke wijk je terecht komt.
we, 2 couples had a fantastic stay in this apartment - luxury the garden, great neighboors - after a long exhausting trip downtown ;-) we will recommend that flat to you - and will come back fore sure - Stephen and his wife are smart, helpful and 24h available - by text or email - if necessary - All in all - we did enjoy!
When we arrived we were warmly greeted by Mrs. Velma Stephens, both were very nice and helpful! The nearest tube station was a good 10 minutes away from the apartment and shopping there was enough. We had to get another apartment as we had booked, which was not so bad because there are 3 apartments in the house. The neighbors have all been very accommodating, and the area was good as there were no tourists! The apartment on the roof we got was enough for a week, but it desperately needs a renovation and deep cleaning, because allergies can have their problems because there are small sub-tenant. Nevertheless, it took us there very much and thanks again to Stephen and Velma for their hospitality.
Als wir ankamen wurden wir herzlich von Stephens Frau Velma begrüßt, beide sind sehr nett und hilfreich gewesen! Die nächste U-Bahnstation war gute 10 Minuten von dem Apartment entfernt und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gab es auch genug. Wir hatten ein anderes Apartment bekommen als wir gebucht hatten, was nicht sonderlich schlimm war da es 3 Apartments im Haus sind. Die Nachbarn sind alle sehr zuvorkommend gewesen und die Gegend war auch gut da es keine Touristen gab! Das Apartment im Dach das wir bekamen hat für eine Woche gereicht, jedoch benötigt es dringend eine Renovierung und Grundreinigung, da Allergiker ihre Probleme haben könnten da es kleine Untermieter gibt. Trotzdem hat es uns dort sehr gefallen und nochmals danke an Stephen und Velma für ihre Gastfreundschaft.
Convenient place in Brooklin, 800 m from subway to Manhattan and JFK airport. The apartment looks spacious and has good wifi connectivity. The apt. requires a bit of maintenance but is good enough for a week stay. Both Steve and his wife Velma are very helpful and my family had an enjoyable stay
This really was a splendid stay in Stephen and Velma's apartment: we were welcome very kindly and the apartment is convenient and comfortable, a place where you feel fine after a day of discovery and amazement in NYC. To be recommended !
Nice place in Brooklyn with garden. Location not near metro.
Mooie plek in Brooklyn met tuin. Locatie is niet dichtbij metro.
Apartment very welcome large and relatively comfortable, but obviously not quite finished yet .... Good experience of immersion in neighborhood and very friendly.
Très bon accueil
Appartement grand et relativement confortable, mais visiblement pas encore tout à fait terminé ....
Bonne expérience d'une immersion en quartier populaire et très sympathique.

One big one is that no you don't need to point the board down the hill to make an edge change. In fact, on steep terrain, you want early edge change with the board across the fall line so you can work the top of the turn. What the board has to be doing to make any safe edge change is be traveling straight tip to tail with no sideslip. The board does not care what direction it is pointing.
I think you are trying to describe board performance concepts which are actually Tilt, Twist, Pivot and Pressure. I am assuming when you say "rock" you are referring to tilt. As for twist, you should not be using any twist if you are truly carving; this is all about tilt.
If you are doing a dynamic skidded turn, twist is certainly not for just the initiation of the turn; you maintain twist throughout the entire turn.
So, we use different board performance concepts depending on the type of turn we want to perform.
Not dissing you or trashing your info, just adding a little bit of higher level information to the already good grasp you have here......cheers...
Your absolutely correct on the board pointing downhill, I meant you have to come back to neutral before you can completely switch edges.
not being able to see the rider in question makes it a bit difficult doesnt it :/.
As far as carving, I had a instructor tell the twist carve thing and always just accepted it. Today when I go out Ill have to give a look at my mechanics. your right, that doesnt make sense....
Snow, you are an wealth of incredible informative goodness!!!
We werent talking about carving, I was just going off on a tangent.
|Yeah I'm confused now. I didn't think we were talking about carving.

By stable, do you mean it's flat through the first part of the twist and as one works their way to the rocking stage, then the back foot follows to complete the carve?
when just kinda free carving, I try and keep the back half of my board nice and flat and just engage my front edges, whichever one. For reference, my weight is still primarily hovering over my front foot(or maybe hanging just behind my front foot.) Keep your weight in unison with the board. You can still be a G and ride real far back if you want, but you still keep your weight as one with the board. Be one with the board haha. To me the hardest part of really perfecting carves(including the backfoot swing) is the weight. If you keep your weight balanced, and engage the turns correctly, as soon as you rock on your edge you can slow down, accelerate, turn, noseflip, 180, literally anything, all by flex in your feet, NOT your legs.
When you wanna do real quick carves in succession, you almost want the board to flex in a semi circle through the apex, how you achieve that would be a full on contour of the board you achieve from using say your front toe-side edge, and your back heelside edge, to initiate the turn lightning fast.
when all is said and done, if your ripping carves, your doing the "twist" for all of 1 second. Its a super fast technique that is soooo easily missed in the moment.
If you are familiar with a stick shift think clutch and gas, as in, give it a little toe action twist to start the turn then gradually follow with your back foot once the turn has been initiated.
You can also think of a roller coaster going through a turn, the front car leads, and the back car follows. after the turn the coaster has to flatten out before it can really enter the next turn.

One of the best things you can do as a intermediate rider, is hands down go relearn the fundamentals. For reference I classify an intermediate rider as someone who can tackle anything, but uses more "safety" turns(ie back foot rudder, falling leaf etc) to get down
I think its worthwhile to mention that the back foot rudder is simply not ideal technique. However, it gets you from A to B safely and effectively, so Ive always said its fine, just something you dont want to get in the habit of all the time.
That said, In snowboarding, we can break down the fundamentals into 3 things, stance, twist, and rock.
For stance, we want a nice low athletic stance, knees bent, centered over your feet, shoulders lined up with the board. The lower we get, the more stabilit and leverage we have over our edges.
Twist is JUST THE INITIATION OF THE TURN!!! when your board goes downhill to about a 40 degree angle across the mountain, you then rock, but...
For Twist, think of your board of having 4 separate edge "quadrants". your front toe-side, front heel-side, back toe-side, back heel-side. turn engage each turn, we want to set our front edge(heel or toe) independently to initiate the turn. This is also where the back foot needs to be stable so you really get the contour flex of the board. When I teach the twist, I focus on the front foot more than the back foot. For heel side, slowly start to point your big toe to the sky, or for toeside, try and push your big toe into the snow under the board(for toe side, also you can put your hand about 3" in front of your front knee and bend your knee to touch your hand, insta-toe-side). Try not to open/close your shoulders to much to engage the turns, stay low and even... Now for the rock.
Rocking back on our toes and heels is to follow through and solidify the carve. Try standin on your tippy toes in a toeside carve and you can really grip through the carve. Heel-side for me was always more unnatural, and really digging in those heels took some miles.
Now all that said, people get mega hung up all over the twist thing. Full on twist(as in one toe up, one toe down) is pretty much reserved for high speed quick carves to pop from edge to edge. NOT just cruisin. For all intents and purposes, through a turn you should be nice and stanced, engage your front edge and follow through with a rock and stabilize with your back foot.
Some notes:
The twist idea, helps immensely when you want small, minute, and accurate pressure point to engage a very specific turn, also when on catwalks, slight pressure change in your toes will create a nice "holds" in the snow and keep you straight and youll be able to track the fall line better on the straights. Also this whole twist idea is how you steer with one foot. We've all tried to carve with one foot to the lift at some point and most often times you do the flat 360 and eat it.
to link turns, you NEED to point the board downhill and flatten out before you can dedicate to your new edge. so... nice stance, engage to the turn, rock to hold that edge
Stance should be even and comfortable between your feet, not neccisarily centered, back or forward. a good dynamic rider will be shift weight everywhere depending on terrain, but you'll notice their feet are steering, and their body chug's along in unison. But the board defines direction, not which way you swing your arms.
All this said, steer with your feet, and stay nice and even on the board, absorbing, extending and compressing with the trail, and the back foot swing will lose its appeal.

The back foot rudder habit usually develops as a rider enters their intermediate stage. They have been so focused on getting forward with the weight that they often forget to ride centered. Sure, getting forward is great for turn initiation but not so good for turn completion as the tail tends to wash out. The rider feels this and automatically pushes the tail around. A couple of things to try that may help you out here:
Since heelside is what you said gives you the biggest problem, squat into it more than you are probably doing. This will give you much better edge control without shifting your center of mass way to the inside of the turn.
Go ahead and do a foot to foot weight shift toward the nose, but try to remember to shift back to a centered stance as you reach the apex of the turn. As you go into the bottom of the turn, actually move slightly toward the tail of the board to increase edge pressure under the rear foot. If you are just a tad heavier on the rear foot, the tail is less likely to skid so so much and it becomes more difficult for you to rudder it.
Play around with this a bit and let us know how it felt to you.....

I'll try to get a video of me riding the next time I go out. But thanks a lot for the advice.

Maybe i am stupid, but i haven't seen this in the forum before(LLC)??
What does it stand for?
Just me being curious:confused
limited liability corporation...
noticed it myself
Limited Liability Company...and I'm not too happy they put it up there. Takes away the community aspect, IMO.
Doesn't matter to me
You can call it whatever you want
it's still the same forum
I probably should have said something about this when we modified the name.
As of 12/1/2008, TDH applied for an LLC (Limited Liability Company). The paperwork has not completely processed yet, but should be complete before the end of the year.
We have become an LLC based on wise legal council that it would be in our best interest to do so for a number of reasons that are honesty quite boring and lengthy.
What does this mean for the future of TDH? Are we selling out? Going "corporate?" No. From a member's point of view, nothing is changing at all. As slave1pilot pointed out, this is the same forum it has been for the past 6 years. We haven't been bought by anyone else and we haven't changed anything except our continual commitment to becoming a better and more professional site.
SO why did we put LLC in the name? Based on legal council, the protection of an LLC is of little use unless everything that boasts the TDH "brand" is changed to The Dented Helmet, LLC. If it wasn't necessary to put "LLC" in the name we wouldn't.
If you would like a brief overview of what an LLC is, you can read about it at Wikipedia.
seems like a cover the butt kind of label that doesn't affect anyone. still the same old TDH
it probably just prevents the site from getting shut down in any sort of copyright chaos.
I suddenly feel so...dirty....being here....
Nah! Just kidding. I'm corporate scum, so not much bothers me. :D
Well, i will call it Living La Costume:D
Sounds nice:cheers
Thanks for the info
There are many liabilites associated with the hobby in itself, and very wise to protect the forum in a overall sense. Good move.

Coconut Milk Ice Cream Berry Parfaits
Easy elegance.
The Gluten-Free Goddess Time Machine dips back into the archives for a fabulous coconut ice cream recipe served parfait style with blueberries and strawberries.
We are slowly melting here in the usually friendlier, temperate wedge of Northwest Connecticut. This heat wave has not been fun. Yesterday we hit 87º degrees. Inside the barn. In the kitchen (if you can call it that), where I am not cooking. I am painting. Very slowly. And sweating. Profusely. The studio air smelled like a West Hollywood muffler shop (if I was a betting soul I'd wager greenbacks on the landlord lying when he assured us the barn was insulated). Yours truly may be suffering quasi-serious brain damage due to these cranium-baking temperatures. I cannot form a cohesive thought. Neither can my iMac which gets dangerously hot (I am writing this post early, while the room temperature is a balmy 78º).
Obviously I am unable to muster any enthusiasm for cooking.
I've been living on gluten-free peanut butter toast. And ice cream. Yes, I know. I am a poor, sad, sad role model. What kind of food blogger doesn't rise to the challenge and cheer-lead you to whip up kale salads and raw peach smoothies? What kind of food blogger would simply give in to her sticky, damp fatigue and general overall crankiness and not create some inspiring, nutritious, bunny food slaw for you?
This one.
She who is about to share a no-cook recipe she actually DID make last night, standing directly in front of her three-speed fan, silver streaked hair pinned wantonly (fashionably!) askew atop her itchy, sweaty head.
Sweet and cold and creamy. Coconut milk ice cream.
It's what's for dinner.
Karina's Homemade Coconut Milk Vanilla Ice Cream Triple Berry ParfaitsBy Karina Allrich June 2012.
Nothing beats the simple elegance of a creamy coconut ice cream parfait. A triple play of fresh ripe berries not only looks gorgeous, it tastes divine and cool on a hot summer night. Add a fresh mint sprig and a squeeze of lime for a refreshing spike of palate cleansing flavor.
Coconut Milk Vanilla Ice Cream (recipe follows)
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, patted dry, stemmed, sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries, washed, patted dry
1 cup fresh raspberries, washed, patted dry
1-2 teaspoons raw organic agave nectar
Squeeze of lime, optional
Fresh mint sprigs
Chill six parfait glasses.
Toss the prepared berries in a bowl with a drizzle of agave and add a squeeze of fresh lime juice, if you like (lime is optional). Stir gently to coat.
Remove the coconut milk ice cream from the freezer and allow it to soften slightly, until it is easy to scoop.
Take out the parfait glasses.
Layer the coconut ice cream with the berries.
Top with a sprig of fresh mint.
Serves four.
Coconut Milk Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe - Vegan and Dairy-Free
When it comes to non-dairy ice cream, full fat coconut milk is a rock star. Keep a can or two in the fridge for spontaneous ice cream making. If you must avoid coconut, try using cold vanilla soy milk.
1 14-oz can cold coconut milk (full fat is best)
3/4 cup confectioner's (powdered) sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Pour the cold coconut milk into a blender container. Add the confectioner's sugar, and vanilla. Cover tightly and blend on high until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth and frothy. Pour the liquid into a frozen ice cream canister, cover, and start your machine. Churn it, Baby.
Serve immediately for soft-serve texture. Or cover and freeze.
To store, spoon it into a freezer safe container and cover. Freeze. Soften slightly before serving for best flavor and texture.
Serves four.
GFG Notes:
I use this Cuisinart ice cream maker- it's not the most expensive ice cream maker on the market- but it does a fabulous job. (Disclaimer: This is not a paid-for product review, it's the model I own. If you make a purchase through my Amazon Affiliate link, my technical support staff- aka son- receives a small commission fee.)

Beacon Correspondent
Two Humboldt County breweries including Fortuna's Eel River Brewing Company have been recognized as some of the best commercial breweries in the United States. The prestigious label accompanies the medals both local breweries received recently at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF).
"We are thrilled," said Ted Vivatson, who along with Brewery co-owner Margaret Frigon attended the 31st Annual GABF in Denver earlier this month. "It's like the Super Bowl and World Series rolled in one for the brewing industry," he added. Vivatson has attended the GABF every year since Eel River Brewery opened, and Frigon has missed only one year. "The energy there is electrifying," she said. "It's absolute chaos and mayhem ... in a good way," she added with a smile.
Their 2004 Triple Exultation captured a silver medal in the Aged Beer category. There were 24 entries in that specific category from throughout the United States. The GABF silver medal award criteria as stated is: An excellent beer that may vary slightly from style parameters while maintaining close adherence to the style and displaying excellent taste, aroma, and appearance.
This particular Eel River Brewing Company aged beer is a two-time medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival; last year it received a bronze medal in the Aged Beer category. And it's the only beer to win in three different categories at the Festival: aged, barrel aged, and strong ale.
The two medal-winning brews from Humboldt County (Mad River Brewing Company won a gold medal for its Steelhead Extra Pale Ale) were among a total of a record number of 4,338 beers judged at the 2012 GABF. 185 judges from 11 countries were assisted by more than 100 competition volunteers in deciding the winners.
"There's a lot of camaraderie there among northern California breweries," Frigon said. "We had a lot of fun talking to people, and to come home with a silver medal is icing on the cake."
In all, 666 breweries participated in the festival from 48 states, Washington D.C. and Guam. California breweries claimed the top number of GABF medals, bringing home 49 (including Eel River and Mad River brewing Companies) of the 254 that were awarded.
Eel River Brewing Company opened its doors on Alamar Way in Fortuna in December 1995. Two years later, the brewery won its first GABF award, a silver medal for its Ravensbrau Porter. Over the years Eel River Brewery has won hundreds of medals and awards from The Great American Beer Festival, Australian International Beer Festival, European Beer Star, World Beer Championships, Los Angeles County Fair, California State Fair, and Humboldt County Fair.

I have a 2012 Jetta 2.5 for 4 weeks, and just passed the 1,000 KM mark (not miles). I turned off my car and the radio turned off like usual. I then turned the radio back on with the key still in the ignition and was reading an email when all of a sudden I heard an electrical clicking for around 10 seconds (sounded like it was coming from beside the turn signal stick) and all the lights on the dashboard turned on and then powered out for a quick second including the radio and then back on and then back to normal with just the radio on. I think 2 "check" lights stayed on but I can't remember. One might have been the check engine indicator. I turned the car on and it was fine.
I know VW's have electrical problems. Was this some sort of fluke or should i be concerned as I never experienced such a thing with any of my Toyota's.

Just want to get a table going to start out and see how much i can do with it. Venturing away from just resin and fiberglass. Thanks guys!

Over the course of nine seasons with Arsenal, Bob McNab was a fixture in the back-four, primarily at left-back. He won trophies, played with some of the legends of the game, and in a familiar theme with the current squad, endured several long-term injuries. In all, he played in 362 matches for the Gunners, including 62 in Arsenal's double-winning 1970-71 season. Following his time at Arsenal, McNab played and coached in two different soccer leagues in the U.S. and Canada.
In part two of an interview with USA.Arsenal.com's Kevin Mooney, McNab discussed his time in North London and how players have changed over the years.
» Part I: McNab on the current squad and the injury bug
USA.Arsenal.com: What is your biggest memory from your time at Arsenal?
Bob McNab: "I suppose you couldn't beat winning the Double really. It had only ever been won once before in modern football. We played 21 home games that year and only four teams scored [against us]. And I'm a defender, so what does that tell you? Although it wasn't that happy for me in that I was injured from September. It wasn't as enjoyable as it might have been, but to win, to do something that puts your name in the history of football, it's terrific I think.
"I enjoyed my career and I loved playing. I loved the playing side of it."
USA.Arsenal.com: What were your first impressions of Arsenal when you joined from Huddersfield Town?
McNab: "When I first got there, I had been bought for a lot of money and had that much experience. In those days, the mid-60s, I had only been to London twice, and I didn't even have a passport. And I know Huddersfield weren't a very good side, plus I was injured when they signed me. I had this pulled thigh muscle, and clubs like Huddersfield in those days, the guy that gave you treatment was the same guy that was doing the boots. And he was better at the boots, put it that way!
"And then you go to Arsenal, where everything is so professional. It was psychologically difficult when I started because I kept getting injured and flu and all sorts of things like that. A chronic ankle injury which I had to have surgery on, and other bits and bobs. Then I managed to turn it around and I look back on the fact that we hadn't won a thing in 18 years, and the team was built, which you couldn't do nowadays. It couldn't happen now because any player who is going to be anyone goes to a Champions League team. I was bought for a record fee for a full back, so now I would have been going to one of the top four. I wouldn't have gone to help build a team, because you want to be in the Champions League. It's different nowadays."
USA.Arsenal.com: Tell us about the early the days with Arsenal.
McNab: "I went [to Arsenal] and I'm glad to say I was lucky. I worked under Dave Sexton for a couple of years. Dave was more a forward coach than a defender, but he was a brilliant, innovative coach. I had never seen a coach at Huddersfield. We never saw any coaches. We'd just run around the field. Then we'd go with someone who is stimulating you, innovative, and a great fellow as well, but not that good at defending.
"And then Dave took the Chelsea job. We got Don Howe, who I had spent quite some time with. He was coaching the Reserves at the time. He and I were right on the same wavelength defensively. He changed us. We went from man-to-man marking under Dave, which I didn't fault Dave for instituting because he brought it in just before I got there and they'd been so bad defensively – it was like two goals every game they used to give up if they were lucky. And man-for-man, it did let you highlight who was doing very badly, but I didn't need that. I could have told you I was doing badly! I don't want to isolate people like that. But it wasn't a system I enjoyed. I used to say before, just let me switch my brain off before we go out. Don changed it, we worked on it, and he took a risk on it. We'd done well, going fifth or sixth in the League, gone to a couple of Cup Finals without winning one. Then Don took over, we went zonal, and the rest is history. One of the great defences of all time."
USA.Arsenal.com: How are players now different from when you played?
McNab: "I think what's happened is on top of the ground every week. The fields are the greatest change in the sport, that and a lot more athleticism. Technically, lots of the players today at the clubs lower down in the Premier League are not good footballers, but they can run. I look at them and I think 'jeepers creepers'. I think defending is very poor overall now, as a generalisation obviously. There are good defenders, but not so many good defenders in good defensive systems of play.
"I think the offside rule is a real nightmare for defenders, this is interfering with play. Anybody in the final third of the field, believe me as an intellectual defender, is interfering with play. Say I'm playing left full back and there is nobody out wide, I can tuck much further in. Now if the guy is outside, I've got to be very, very aware of him, so I'm going to be in a different position. But how is someone interfering with play when he's just adjusting his position? It's just nonsense I think, but I'm a defender!
"I think it's just made it so difficult for referees. [The] offside [rule] is difficult anyway, and then all of the sudden you've got to start thinking, they have made it so subjective. Now is he interfering with play? You see people in the six-yard box and they say they are not interfering with play. Are you kidding? It's just nonsense. So that's made it more difficult."
USA.Arsenal.com: How do you think you would fare in today's game?
McNab: "People often ask me who could play today. I could play today because I could run all day. I was a cross-country runner and I was always the quickest. It was weird, I could run distances and I was the quickest off the mark at any club I played for over 15 or 20 yards. It's not usually a combination you get. Really explosive off the mark and then can run cross countries. But then the big lads would come up. I would have no chance over 200 metres against the [John] Radfords or the [Ray] Kennedys – the big men with the big, long strides, much like the Olympic runners today. A little guy at five-foot-eight is going to be up against it with a six-foot-four, six-foot-five, eight-yard stride type of guy.
"One thing I always look for in players is whether they can play one-touch. Because you will not go to the highest level of football if you cannot play one-touch. And I like one-touch. Too bad I didn't have the technical ability to go with the intellectual ability! I saw everything, I did everything, but I didn't have the technical ability of a Preki or a Charlie George. People like that, people with wonderful skills. I could see the same as them, but I couldn't deliver the goods. But I was a defender! I got moved back pretty quickly!"
USA.Arsenal.com: What was the weakest part your game?
McNab: "Don't mention crosses to me, that wasn't my strong suit. If you speak to any of my old team-mates, they'd tell you crossing wasn't my strong point. They used to say the fans ducked behind the goal when I crossed it. They'd have to wear tin helmets!"
USA.Arsenal.com: What have you been up to since you hung up your boots?
McNab: "I first came over [to America] in 1976 and then I went back in 1979 as assistant coach at Vancouver White Caps where we won the Soccer Bowl. That was nice. I just did one and a half years there and then that league went pear-shaped and I coached indoors at Tacoma. Then I coached indoor for a couple more years for [Milan] Mandaric – he owns Leicester now – in San Jose. I got Brad Friedel to England, I got Paulo Wanchope to England. He was from Costa Rica. So I did a few deals for people. I did quite well out of it.
"I've also worked with Paul Mariner at Adidas. I know the Adidas lads in Portland, I was technical director of their ESP – the Elite Soccer Program – I used to do weeks for them every year. We got coaches from all over the world. It's similar to the one for basketball when you bring in all the prominent high school kids and you put on all the practices and whatnot. About 150 college coaches would come over every year. Then we started to get a few scouts. It was pretty good, I enjoyed it. Later, Jurgen Kinsman's group took it over, and I just did the coaching and technical side of it. I really enjoyed that."

Is League the most valuable closer on market?
The trade interest in San Diego Padres reliever Mike Adams is strong, and for good reason: He has been one of the elite setup men in baseball over the past four seasons, with an otherworldly 0.91 WHIP during that span.
Some clubs could point to the fact Adams won't become a free agent until after the 2012 season and conclude that he has more value than teammate Heath Bell, the All-Star closer and free-agent-to-be.
By that logic, it shouldn't be a surprise that sources say Seattle Mariners officials are fielding a similarly heavy volume of phone calls about All-Star closer Brandon League.
League is also on track to hit free agency after next season. And he has demonstrated two things that Adams has not: He can close, and he can get big outs in the American League.
Adams pitches in one of baseball's most pitcher-friendly ballparks, in the lesser offensive league. That's a fact, not a criticism. It's not his fault that he has pitched for National League teams (the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego) during the entirety of his major league career.
Yet, League should be credited for what he has accomplished, including the 168 appearances he made for the Toronto Blue Jays, who compete in baseball's best division. This year, he has a better WHIP (1.088) than Bell (1.205) despite pitching in the AL.
The Padres probably have the most relievers to trade before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. But there's no guarantee that they have the best.

I would submit tons of screenshots if the button to submit them weren't broken. -.-;
RynthZero - Member - 04 Junho 2013 21:31
I submitted a few for Grambos a month ago, and they never were added.
Gynrei 04 Junho 2013 21:44
I don't want to sound ungrateful but why bronze tokens. It seems silly to reward us with a mechanic that's been removed from the game. Even if we can go mindlessly click a machine for the kama value.
You should give us old square smithmagic runes. I'd happily put a 20% dmg rune in my gear that matches the element I actually want and isn't bugged so I get the bonuses i worked hard for.

This just sound silly, i mean can't Ankama just look in thier own files and take the avatars that are loaded when a mob is loaded. and just implant it easy and fast into the wiki. This just sounds stupid. To send a big picture of your whole screen to get one avatar that they can easyly find in thier system. Also please translate the wiki how hard can it be to make a game in english..

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Slush Puppie
Surely riding ice or steep ice at that isn't especially different from any other (non-pow) riding...
keep a balanced position, keep you body inline with the board (quiet upper body) Let the board turn in good time, don't force it around - allow it to flow. Get more dynamic with your legs the steeper it is. This will help control your speed and allow you to turn through the fall line with easy confidence.
Soak up bumps with your legs.
Save rotation and other exaggerated movements for adjustment and finesse during the turn only.
I think it really depends. In really steep moguls, I personally like to ride by starting the turn with my upper body (shoulder). Then drive my knees hard to get a lot of edge angle and a quick turn. On my heelside, I lead with shoulder again but instead I lean back hard, and bring my mid section forward. This sounds funny, but it keeps my back, and weight better in line with the heelside edge.
The other technique you are talking about, keeping your upper body mostly static, and really only carving with the lower body is quite a bit harder for most I think. The timing and edge transitions are much faster, and the lower body is very dynamic. This is just a guess, but I think if you are too counter rotated doing this, it may be a timing issue. I find just before I am too rotated, the board has lots of energy and wants to pop to the other edge.
P.S. you can't carve on real ice .. You only skid, head to Mont Tremblant out east after rain then a freeze.
|A video of me riding would be about 120 riding days ago, or 2 years, completely different.

Learn to carve, or stay away from ice.
OP, post a video of your riding, without that any feedback is impossible.
You scare me
You are most likely a snowboard instructor... or an engineer, or both.
|I don't know if I should be worried that without skipping a beat, I completely understood the OP's first post.

(Seriously,.. restraint??? ...haven't been around here much lately, eh??)
sorry, lack of snow has made me silly!!! I should be all better by Monday!!
Ok, to reiterate, I was mentioning the benefits of keeping your body naturally aligned with your stance angles vs ending up in a counter-rotated position by keeping your body still doing text book aasi-dynamic turns.
Unless it's my inexperience talking, I feel the twisted position resulting at the end of each turn, if doing a complete C, or uphill, puts the rider at a disadvantage, especially on bumpier terrain, although the side effect of ending up counter-rotated is, you naturally are in the back seat, as you should be finishing a turn.
Also, that I think for most riders, and for me too, let's say riding duck +15/-15, doing AASI dynamic skidded turns... leading shoulder pointing DOWN fall line, the result of a toe side turn is often in a "counter-rotated" position, with the board perpendicular to the fall line, with the lead shoulder pointing down (as it should be), however from the toe to the heel side, most people open up, and now the lead shoulder is no longer pointing down the slope, it is pointing more to the side, and more often, they are still looking down, reminiscent of a heel side edge slide, to keep the lead shoulder pointing down often definitely feels like "counter rotation"
I was also experimenting with active "anticipatory rotation", where just as one turn begins, u actively start rotating the other way, and vice versa, almost seems like counter-rotation but it's not, or maybe if you look at it some way, it's pre rotation with an active counter-rotation as you are rotating for the next turn...
I hope this makes more sense.
PS: I definitely know how to carve, any local rider who has seen my riding, knows this is an utter fact, I am trying to work more on different turn shapes, styles... maybe delve into freestyle.
PPS: My idea of dynamic riding is the utilization of the body to create edge angles, including pressure distribution, including different techniques of unweigh, up unweighting, down unweighting, and mid-weighting. WEEEEEEE
Oh yeah the question!
1. So is keep the body aligned better in steep/bumpy sections vs letting the board move about totally independently?
2. is my "anticipatory rotation" fubar, and just keep a "silent" body?
I find the "anticipatory rotation" helps a lot.. with moguls...
|I just bomb the ice flat and dig my edge in whenever I find some hardpack lol... My edges are way to dull to even bother. So thats my advice to all you beginners trying to ride ice - just bomb that shit flat yo.
|Haha! Noooo, I did not call him that! The natural fear instinct is to stiffen up. I just take it that he seems to think stiff is good (restrain comments, please), and is something that needs to be worked on (again, with comment restraint).

If anyone has any information about this period, please share here. It is a broad subject... Mostly I am interested in particular sages, interesting doctrine, not focussing on self or Brahman. But feel free to share any relevant information on the times.
The word nirvana (Pali: Nibbana) was first used in its technical sense in Buddhism, and cannot be found in any of the pre-Buddhist Upanishads (It can be found in Jain texts). The use of the term in the Bhagavad Gita may be a sign of the strong Buddhist influence upon Hindu thought.[45] Although the word nirvana is absent from the Upanishads, the word itself existed prior to the Buddha.[118] It must be kept in mind that nirvana is one of many terms for salvation that occur in the orthodox Buddhist scriptures. Other terms that appear are 'Vimokha', or 'Vimutti', implying 'salvation' and 'deliverance' respectively.[119] Some more words synonymously used for nirvana in Buddhist scriptures are 'mokkha/moksha', meaning 'liberation' and 'kevala/kaivalya', meaning 'wholeness'; these words were given a new Buddhist meaning.[120]
I am looking for book discussing this (vedic/Indian setting) from Bhikkhuni Sobhana's list (just purchased Buddhist and Vedic Studies: A Miscellany Wijesekera). Suggestions appreciated.

Gerry Ward
A precise, intelligent passer with a firm tackle, Gerry Ward was once Arsenal's youngest ever player.
|Gerry Ward
|Arsenal Career
|1952 - 1963
|84 (84 starts, 0 as a sub)
But despite making a valuable contribution to the team in a nine-year spell at the Club, he didn't live up to the early tag of being 'the new Cliff Bastin'.
It was an accolade very few footballers would have been able to live up to and it came after he had played just once for the Gunners - his debut as a 16-year-old in 1953. After a further two matches in the side, he was dropped and didn't return until 1958.
It was then that he displayed the fine skills that had prompted his early breakthrough. He was a regular during the 1958/59 season and contributed goals against Manchester United, Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers and Chelsea.
He featured less regularly the following season and remained a bit-part player until his departure in 1963.

Phoenix Welcomes Panthers Friday for Important League Battle
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - With just five matches remaining on the regular season schedule, the Green Bay volleyball team (12-11, 3-6 HL) opens an important three-match homestand this Friday when it welcomes Horizon League rival Milwaukee (8-14, 3-6 HL) to the Kress Center at 7 p.m. Friday also marks Green Bay's breast cancer awareness match, as well as alumni day.
Fans can follow Friday's match between the Phoenix and the Panthers with live video and live stats on GreenBayPhoenix.com. The official Green Bay volleyball Twitter (@GBPhoenixVB) and Facebook (Green Bay Phoenix Volleyball) accounts will also be posting live updates throughout the match.
Milwaukee, which was picked to finish first in the Horizon League's preseason poll, is currently sitting lower than projected in the conference standings thanks in part to a season filled with injuries. The Panthers have lost five of their last six matches, including three in a row. Milwaukee went 0-2 last weekend, suffering a pair of road losses at Cleveland State (3-0) and Youngstown State (3-1).
With only six teams qualifying for the Horizon League Tournament in mid-November, both the Phoenix and the Panthers enter Friday's match in a tie for fifth place in the conference standings. Youngstown State is also tied for fifth, owning a 3-6 record in league play (13-10 overall). Green Bay holds the tiebreaker over the Penguins after sweeping the season series with a pair of 3-2 victories.
Green Bay is looking to snap a nine-match losing streak against Milwaukee, as the Phoenix last defeated the Panthers on Oct. 3, 2008 at the Kress Center. Despite the losing streak, Green Bay has played Milwaukee tough as of late, as three of the last four matches have gone five sets, including each of the last two.
In the first meeting between the two teams this season on Sept. 28, the Phoenix stormed back from an 0-2 deficit at the Klotsche Center to tie the match at 2-2, but the Panthers prevailed 15-7 in the deciding fifth set. Milwaukee's Julie Kolinske registered a match-high 22 kills, while Green Bay's Monica Anderson (Cottage Grove, Wis.) posted a team-high 20 kills, hitting .471.
Green Bay went 1-1 on its Horizon League road trip to Ohio this past weekend, defeating Youngstown State 3-2 on Friday before falling 3-0 to first-place Cleveland State on Saturday.
Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.) led the Phoenix with a team-high 17 kills in the win over the Penguins, hitting .300 on the night. The senior also paced Green Bay with seven blocks, including her school-record 98th-career solo block that moved her ahead of former Phoenix standout Marie Kaland (97 from 1992-95) on the all-time list. Freshman Taylor Kasal (Westmont, Ill.) also had a strong match on Friday filling in for the injured Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukauna, Wis.), posting career-highs in kills (13) and digs (8).
Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) had a match-high 25 digs in Saturday's loss at Cleveland State, moving her digs per set total to 6.16. The figure currently ranks first in the Horizon League and third among all NCAA Division I players. In addition, Groth now has 1,719 digs in her career, just 70 shy of tying Megan Elfering's (2005-08) school record of 1,789.
As part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Green Bay volleyball program is holding a number of activities this week to help raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. Highlighting the efforts is the breast cancer awareness auction on GreenBayPhoenix.com, which ends on Friday at 7:45 p.m. CT during the match. T-shirts ($20) and pink Phoenix logos ($1) are also being sold leading up to and during the match. For more information on the online auction and all of Green Bay volleyball's efforts, click here.
The Green Bay volleyball program will be honoring all alumni in attendance between sets two and three of Friday's match against Milwaukee. In addition, as a tie-in with the breast cancer awareness match, Phoenix alum Jill Smits Damrow (2002-05) will be addressing the Kress Center crowd pregame to talk about the importance of breast cancer awareness and research. The Green Bay volleyball program initially began its awareness and fundraising efforts in 2005 when Damrow's mother developed the disease prior to her senior campaign.
With just five matches remaining on the regular season schedule, the Green Bay volleyball team (12-11, 3-6 HL) opens an important three-match homestand this Friday when it welcomes Horizon League rival Milwaukee (8-14, 3-6 HL) to the Kress Center at 7 p.m. Friday also marks Green Bay's breast cancer awareness match, as well as alumni day.
Green Bay volleyball head coach Debbie Kirch joined host Ryan Hartwig in studio on Wednesday to preview the team's breast cancer awareness match against Milwaukee, as well as recap the team's recent road trip to Ohio.
Green Bay wraps up its three-match homestand next weekend when it hosts the Horizon League's two Chicago schools. The Phoenix first welcomes Loyola to the Kress Center on Friday, Nov. 2 for a 7 p.m. meeting, and then hosts UIC the following day at 2 p.m. Both teams are ahead of the Phoenix in the conference standings, as Loyola (15-7, 7-2 HL) is currently second and UIC (14-11, 6-3 HL) is fourth.

Subscribe to the Mayor's Press Release feed
NEW ORLEANS, LA – Today, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu vetoed City Council Ordinance #025561 that would delay the 7-year maximum age requirement for taxicabs operating in New Orleans by one year.
His veto message read in part:
"For too long, taxicabs had been cited as an impediment to attracting new businesses, conventions, major events, and leisure travelers to New Orleans. Local residents regularly expressed major concerns about reliability, vehicle appearance, and safety. With the help of the New Orleans City Council, we passed sweeping reforms in 2012 that resulted in cleaner, newer and more reliable cabs on the streets of New Orleans.
"Rolling back or delaying any taxicab reforms sends the wrong message. New Orleans deserves clean, safe, reliable and accessible taxicabs. On behalf of the nearly 80,000 people working in the cultural economy and the 75% of taxicabs that have already embraced the reforms, I am vetoing Ordinance #025561."
