Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by Visaliakid, Aug 1, 2010.
Yuna performs 3 songs during SBS TV's latest concert show 'Chocolate'
Blazing Blades
Oh, I was about to post a new thread about it. Thanks, Visaliakid!
Here are HD videos with better audio quality:
Train ride (originally by IU)
I'm in love (originally by Narsha)
Garden in the air (originally by BOA)
The show was recorded July 20 and was broadcast tonight August 1. She really sings very well and I hope you guys enjoy these songs although they are in Korean.
But, Visaliakid, your thread title makes me feel like to remind you of one of her interviews right after the Olympics:
She's such a good a singer! And she sang a song by BoA!
Awww, she's so beautiful! I don't understand what she is saying, but her voice and tone to me is more pleasing to listen to than most US female pop singers. Then again, Yu-Na has way more class than most US female pop singers too.
Yuna is amazing. I mean she's like good at everything, and seems really sweet and classy and genuine despite all her fame.
I know Yuna doesn't want to enter showbiz but her voice is wonderful.
Oh I forgot to add this link.
ETA: Full Yuna Kim episode of the show including talks.
Part1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0mb4h55m7Q
Part2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtfK0SZUh2o
(No English subtitle yet)
Man, that gal has a lovely voice! Would it come across as too conceited if she were to skate to a recording of herself singing? I hope not.
love yu-na but most kpop is even more gross, manufactured and unoriginal than american pop
She has a really pretty voice. The girl is just way too talented.
She has a really good musical ear and rythm – those songs are really not easy at all to memorize and intonate well! Her expression is sincere and nice, but it certainly shows nobody ever coached her – like for example, she is not moving at all on the stage, just standing still, etc. She is also a little bit shy about the whole thing –*like she doesn't believe that people really like it. It would be very interesting to see her perform after some real singing coaching and rehearsals... However it is very sweet and somehow touching to see her like this too
Wow, I never would have thought that she sings aswell! She has a lovely voice and indeed could enter the showbiz as a singer. Amazing Gurl!
Sadly, I have to agree. Jpop is far more interesting. With that said, Yuna has a good voice. Even though she says she has no plans to enter showbiz, it can be good second career when she decides to retire from skating. I know several former Chinese female gymnasts have entered the business doing acting and singing since their retirement.
Yuna has a wonderful singing voice. Thanks for the great videos.
Not so much gross, manufactured, outdated and unoriginal as Jpop. Most Jpop songs sound exactly the same, with the high school girl in uniform styles dug out from 1980s, the last time Jpop's was popular in Asia. Sorry to Jpop fans, but I just can't stand it... eww
you should be quoting the user praising jpop, which was not me. I don't really listen to either, though. which is not to say that the japanese and korean music industries don't have any good or talented acts - they do, I'm just talking about the majority of bubblegum pop acts which dominate the charts and get the most exposure overseas.
I only commented cos I saw typical comments implying the crappiness of the current american pop scene (which I don't deny) but I can't stand by and just say nothing when kpop is really just a blatant imitation of american pop that people love to bash so much. taking foreign influences and leaving a unique imprint is a great thing. but kpop takes it too far and continues to be ridden with plagiarism scandals almost all the time to an insane degree and dripping with blatant carbon copies of american (trash) pop culture acts (influence is fine, but they go too far), and almost 90 percent of songs are filled with nonsensical random english words here and there (some japanese songs are also guilty of the last part
I believe that statement is directed at me. I feel there are actually some interesting music arrangements in some Jpop unlike the generic ones in most Kpop. Korean pop singers generally have more pleasing voices so it is unfortunate that they don't have more original pieces to work with. Actually rehashing the 80's style is not a bad thing since that was a great period for popular music.
I don't think so. Despite liking K-Pop, every K-Pop song I've listened to sound the same. Songs from 2NE1 and 4minute, for example, are very similar.
I agree. Hikaru Utada usually uses some very interesting music arrangements!
Never did I think that a Korean skater would sell air-conditioners with a Korean-sung version of "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies, or Sing Sing Sing by Benny Goodman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwOLFbtUGdQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B08VAH2JvfM&feature=related
Who cares Kpop or Jpop!
But Yuna has a beautiful singing voice!
Kpop or Jpop, I hope she doesn't enter that world! You can have fun all you want but stick to skating Yuna!
just curious- can she really sing.
i mean all i hear is the music, her voice is so soft.
so i wonder. does she lip sync it to the words. just wondering.
the few tibits i do hear sounds like a nice voice but it doesn't carry well over music that is played loud.
That's right!
This is about a skater singing live in the stage at home.
NOT about K-pop or J-pop! Get back to your seat, plz!
Gosh, hope this can help you.
I was watching KBS World recently, and there was a piece about a singer named Yuna Kim. But not the one you think. There is a difference between her name and that of the Olympic champion. The former is transliterated as Yu-na, while technically the latter is transliterated as Yeon-a or Yeo-na. I gather that a Korean can easily distinguish between the two.
^ Yeah, I know who you're talking about.
And, there're so many different persons with the same name in Korea because Korean name mostly consists of just 3 characters (1 for last name and the rest for first name).
For example, your first(??)name, Alex is "알렉스" in Korean, already 3 characters without last name.
Added to that, "Kim" is the most common surname in Korea.
Sorry off the topic...
Genius! I thought it was 100% live! Would you let me know exactly when she was out of sync? I'd like to check.
You are right with the latter, but the former is Kim Yoon-Ah, the lead vocalist for the band Jaurim. One of my favorite songs of Jaurim is
How is this related the quality of the country's music scene?? They paid for the copyrights for the CM jingles, otherwise Samsung Electronics, the CM owner, should have been sued by the copyright owners, if copyrights are what you are talking about.
My favorite Yu-Na singing to a Boa's song. Private video shot 3 years ago. She looks at home and carefree.
Oh, she wore a Tory Burch mini-dress..cute!!

Torso Found Near City of Industry
A human torso has been found at a wastewater treatment facility in Bassett, near the City of Industry.
The body part was discovered Monday inside a treatment tank, and L.A. County Firefighters who specialize in urban search and rescue techniques were called to the scene to help recover it.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau Lt. Mike Rossen said the torso at the facility at 1955 Workman Mill Rd. was most likely part of the same dead person who's calf and foot were discovered at a different water treatment facility in Carson on Saturday.
Rossen said he thinks the body was torn apart after it wound up in the County's storm and sewage system.
"We believe it's some kind of mechanical mutilation of the body that happened during the pumping process or the separation process," Rossen said.
Detectives were searching missing persons reports for clues to the identity of the dead person and said it was too soon to know whether the dead person was the victim of a crime.

Bobby Schindler, brother of the late Terri Schiavo, will speak about "Caring for the Cognitively Disabled: the Moral Obligation of Catholics," at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 18, on the University of St. Thomas campus, Scanlan Room, Jerabeck Center, 4000 Mt. Vernon.
This lecture, sponsored by the John Paul II Forum for the Church in the Modern World and Celts For Life, the St. Thomas student pro-life organization, will explore the legacy of John Paul II's Gospel of Life and raise awareness for the care for the cognitively disabled.
Since his sister's death on March 31, 2005, Schindler has served as spokesman for the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation, travels across the country, appearing in numerous speaking engagements. Schindler was a Catholic shool teacher before he became involved in the foundation.
Terri Schiavo was a 41-year-old brain-damaged woman who became the centerpiece of a highly publicized legal battle and a national right-to-die debate. Terri Schaivo sustained serious brain damage in an unexplained collapse in February, 1990, that left her incapacitated. She suffered massive brain damage due to lack of oxygen and, after two and a half months in a coma, her diagnosis was elevated to vegetative state. In 1998, Schiavo's husband, Michael, petitioned the Sixth Circuit Court of Florida to remove her feeding tube. He was opposed by Terri's family who argued that she was conscious.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Dr. John Hittinger at jp2forum.com.

Jeremy Bulloch to make an appearance in Michigan?!
Saw he was a media guest who was attending the Motor City Comic Con in Novi, MI at the Rock Financial Showplace May 14-16th, 2010. Anybody in Michigan have any further details? It doesn't have which day or at what time. I live right down the street and was planning on going. If he's there I'm definitely wearing the gear and getting something signed.

Should gender determine our Olympic flag bearer?
July 23, 2012 , 6:56 PM by Alana Mahony
There have been calls for a woman to carry the flag in the London 2012 opening ceremony after a number of athletes have voiced their concern that this honour has traditionally been male skewed.
Lee Naylor, dual Olympian and former chair of the Australian Athletes' Commission, joined us on Drive to share her thoughts on the issue;
"Quite frankly, you're a part of a team, it's great to be part of a team and I never think of gender
within the Australian track and field team, I was just a member of that team," she told presenter Nicole Chvastek.
"I'd be really disappointed if we thought one of the criteria needed to be....we'd better put a girl in or she might get her nose out of joint.
That would be really disappointing for all females to think that it was tokenism and I really don't think when you get to that elite level of sport and level of global sport that we want to think there is any level of tokenism."

Laura Terrell is an Emmy award-winning weekend anchor and reporter for KCCI 8 News.
She started at KCCI in September 2010.
Prior to joining Iowa's News Leader, Laura reported and anchored at KOMU-TV in Columbia, Mo.
In April 2012, Laura's live reports from the tornado damage in Creston contributed to the KCCI weekend team's Emmy Award win for Best Weekend Newscast. She arrived in Creston shortly after the Greater Regional Medical Center took a direct hit from a tornado, and reported throughout the night and into the morning.
Laura realizes that telling stories is more than just getting the facts right, it's also about reporting with sensitivity and compassion. Perhaps the most impactful story Laura has reported was the abduction and murder of 15 year old Kathlynn Shepard.
Laura spent several weeks in Dayton and developed a close relationship with the Shepard family. She was the only reporter allowed inside their home for an interview after the tragedy. She has continued to stay in touch with Kathlynn's family and keeps them in her thoughts and prayers.
Whether it's reporting on an Iowa tragedy, politics, natural disasters, or personal stories of everyday Iowans, Laura loves her job. She enjoys meeting new people every day and is constantly amazed by the warmth, humility, and giving nature of Iowans.
Laura quickly adjusted to life in Des Moines because she is a Midwestern girl at heart. Born and raised in St. Louis, she continues to cheer for her beloved Cardinals! Laura graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in business. Go Mizzou Tigers!
If you have a story idea for Laura you can email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Medical Marvel DJ Samantha George
14/10/2012 , 9:25 AM by Helen Clare
Samantha George is today's Sunday DJ- the Medical Marvel DJ!
She was nominated by her Auntie Pam from the north coast when I called for nominations a few Sundays ago.
Today she gets to choose all the songs and we're hearing how at age six, desperately ill because of a chromosomal disease, Sam underwent a liver transplant.
It was only the second time in Austalia a child had received a cut-down adult liver.
As she'll explain, her heart stopped on the operating table and she later fought for life again after developing an infection.
But the result is that Sam now lives a healthy and adventurous life and is a strong ambassador for organ donation.
Here's her program in two parts as broadcast on Sunday October 14.2012.

Having only owned the D700 for less than a week it was time to put it to the test at a Wedding at Gisborough Hall in North Yorkshire, England.
For the past year of so I have been using a D90 with a 17-55mm DX lens. Never had any problem and taken 1000s of excellent photos. This lens would be on for 80-90% of the time at a typical wedding.
To go with my new D700 I had purchased a 24-70mm FX lens. This lens worked great with my D700. I was very very happy with the camera during the day and the 24-70mm is definitely a step up from the 17-55mm lens.
In the past I have had poor results with the D90 at high ISO, so much so that I would never change and just leave it at 200. The D700 on the other hand was regularly up to ISO 1600 with great results.
There are so many positives about this camera and lens pairing I would be on all day trying to list, but here are just a few:-
Excellent quality images
Great colour reproduction
High ISO capabilities
Great ergonomics
Brilliant LCD display
Quick accurate focusing
The list goes on and on and on
I had put off buying a D700 with an upgrade looming. Then I started to think it may not be available until late summer and with 20+ weddings in the next 6 months I decided to buy D700 now!!! I am so pleased I did and regret not buying earlier. I can honestly say I will not be rushing out to buy D700 replacement, this camera rocks.

The Wild Traveler is radio show aired on WCTR which is can be heard in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The radio show is hosted by James Pedeaston. The show is syndicated on 9 other stations, none of which are heard in any Grand Theft Auto game.
The show talks about Pedeaston's 'exotic' travels through third-world countries, and occasionally (and accidentally) reads out of his 'travel log', which usually contains Pedeaston's desires to have sexual relations with young children. His pedophillia disgusts his listeners so much that, occasionally, no one calls in to his show. It is not, however, made certain that this is the reason his show seldom receives phone calls. His favourite memory seems to be a relationship with a boy named Avrindar in Sri Lanka. His show appears to be so reviled by his listeners that at one point, the few calls which he receives are not supportive. For example, a caller tells him to stop droning on about other countries and focus on talking about where he lives. At one point he received a phone call from a suicidal man in Verdant Bluffs who wanted to go to hell. Pedeaston replies with "Me too! Buy me a refrigerator magnet when you get there".
Pedeaston was being investigated by the FBI in 1992, and is arrested in 2003 in Bali for sexual misconduct.
Padeaston talks with an English accent.

Original Stuckey's Store & Factory
Eastman, GA 31023
In 1937, W. S. Stuckey opened his first roadside stand in Eastman to sell pecans to tourists. In 1948, Stuckey constructed the first Stuckey's candy plant in Eastman to allow larger production of his sweet treats.
Stuckey was a marketing genius and used family appeal, broad advertising to motorists, one-stop shopping, and mail-order candy to promote Stuckey's. Stuckey's candy is currently available for purchase online.
Today, a historical marker stands at the spot where the original Stuckey's road stand and factory sold and produced the Stuckey's legendary candy. The factory has been renovated, renamed Southside Market and is now home to more than 100 antique, art, artifacts and crafts vendors. Tour Southside Market to taste a bit of history.

Rectangle Bora Da Pillow - Peach
Bora Da is the new traditionally made Welsh textile designed by Donna Wilson for SCP, it follows on from the popular Nos Da collection from the same mill. The Bora Da fabric is made from British wool that is specially spun and dyed in England and then woven in Wales by a traditional mill that has been in the same family for over a century. Bora Da uses a single ply fine wool, which is both soft and strong. The result is a fine fabric that is lighter in nature than its sister fabric Nos Da. Using a time-honored double cloth weaving technique Donna has been able to create a pleasing multi-layered aesthetic, full of character. SCP and Donna Wilson are delighted to tap into the rich thread of British textile. Made in the UK. Each pillow has a 100% feather insert.
- Design Country: UK
- Material: 100% wool
- Dimensions: 23.5" x 11.8"

Where can I find vendors who provide captioning services?
Increasing numbers of multimedia producers, including educational entities and businesses, are captioning their products in-house. The National Center for Accessible Media has developed a software tool that facilitates the captioning process. Their tool, available at no charge, is called Media Access Generator (MAGpie).
MAGpie adds closed captions to an online multimedia file. However, it is not capable of captioning offline multimedia, such as videotapes, or of producing live captioning of an event.
There are many vendors who provide a wide range of captioning services. One of the best resources for selecting a vendor is the U.S. Department of Education, which, in collaboration with the Described and Captioned Media Program administered by the National Association of the Deaf, officially approves captioning service vendors. Approved vendors are listed in the document Captioning Service Vendors (in PDF; requires the free software called Adobe Reader).

Relay Victory, School Records Highlight Day One of HL Championships
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
CLEVELAND (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's and women's swimming and diving teams opened the four-day 2014 Horizon League Championship meet on Wednesday, with both squads turning in a number of impressive performances at the Busbey Natatorium on the Cleveland State campus.
The men's 200 medley relay team provided the highlight of the night for the Phoenix, claiming a Horizon League title in school-record fashion. The quartet of Evan Hill (Jefferson, Wis.), Ryan Korslin (Rudolph, Wis.), Cole Hackney (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) and Ben Loeffelholz (Dubuque, Iowa) raced out to a lead and out-touched Cleveland State (1:29.13) with a time of 1:29.00, breaking the old school record of 1:30.04 set in 2013. Korslin, Hackney and Loeffelholz were also members of the record-setting squad from a year ago.
The impressive victory marked the first relay win for the Phoenix men at a conference meet since 1996.
Loeffelholz also earned an individual school record on Wednesday. The junior led off the 200 freestyle relay with a time of 20.37, which broke the school standard of 20.48 in the 50-yard free previously held by Cory Carlson (2009). The relay team finished fifth with a time of 1:21.38, one second behind first-place Oakland (1:20.37).
Sophomore diver Tanner Nordlund (Rice, Minn.) recorded his best score of the year on the 3-meter board in the men's B-final, tallying a total of 288.95 en route to a 10th-place finish.
The Phoenix women turned in a pair of fourth-place relay finishes on the opening day. First, Claire Walters (Northfield, Minn.), Samantha Rottel (New Berlin, Wis.), Natalie Neuwirth (Stevens Point, Wis.) and Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.) combined for a time of 1:33.42 in the opening 200 free relay, and then Wolf teamed up with Emily Gomez (Burlington, Wis.), Autumn Roepsch (Dubuque, Iowa) and Haley Lucas (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) for a strong finish in the 200 medley relay (1:43.51).
Sophomore Anna Gomez (Burlington, Wis.) was the top individual finisher for the Phoenix on Wednesday, placing sixth in the 1000 freestyle in 10:17.79.
The Phoenix women concluded day one in fourth place in the eight-team field, while the men are in fifth out of seven teams in the early going.
Both squads return to action tomorrow at the Busbey Natatorium, with prelims beginning at 9 a.m. CT and finals starting at 4:30 p.m. CT. Finals will once again be streamed live on the Horizon League Network.

The split roll pins used to hold the breech block in the older stamped/folded carbon steel slide assemblies needs to be replaced every 5000 rounds. You have a newer milled slide assembly and so that is not anything you need to worry about.
SiG generally recommends replacing the recoil spring every 5-10k rounds depending on the type of ammo used. Higher pressure ammo like "+P" and "+P+" would fit in the 5000 catagory whereas WWB and similar would fit in the 10000 catagory. If you practice with both then you have to figure out where in the middle ground you would be closer to and go with an appropriate numer as your benchmark/milestone for the replacement.
Most armorers would generally recommend a full spring replacement at the 10k mark changing every spring with a brand new one. Not terribly expensive as preventative maintenance goes.

Hey there Ladies!
I've been meaning to look into some of the B.O.W. events here in MD. A friend tells me they have a banquet coming up. Is there anyone else out there involved with this group?
I have two little boys, a "regular" 9-5 job, and several other outside interests in addition to my new passion (hunting) and I would SOOOO love to find some gals to hang out with and practice shooting or calling or just comparing notes with.
DU also has their 75th anniversary gala coming up & i was hoping some DHC folks would be attending.
Holla back girls!

Hoffman enters his third season as assistant coach of the Phoenix in 2014.
Working with the goalkeepers, Hoffman saw the duo of Kyle Ihn and Dary DeWalt post a combined 1.78 goals-against average and a .695 save percentage in 2013. The Phoenix went on to end the season with an overall record of 7-7-3 and a 2-4-1 ledger in the Horizon League.
Hoffman was hired by head coach Dan Popik in his first season during the summer of 2012. A Hoffman joined Popik at Green Bay from the University of New Hampshire where he had served as an assistant since 2010.
Prior to his tenure at University of New Hampshire, Hoffman served as the head coach of the Springfield Demize of the Premier Development League in 2010.
The Littleton, Colo. native coached at his alma mater, Drury University, from 2009-2010 for both men's and women's squads. Hoffman helped guide the men's squad to an impressive 21-2 overall record, advancing to the Sweet 16 of the Division II Tournament while the women's squad registered a 13-6 record.
During his playing days at Drury, Hoffman went 19-6-3, recording 12 shutouts as a starting goalkeeper. During the 2007 season, Hoffman established a school record 0.88 goals against average. The four-time Great Lakes Valley All-Academic Team selection graduated ranked third all-time in minutes played (2,215), second in career goals against average (1.00) and sixth in all-time saves (105).

Hmmm, been a month, anything better than "Interesting..." ????
How about: "Very interesting?"
I really like .45s and I think the XDm 5.25 is a pretty nice gun. Might be worth further investigation.
Read an article about that 5.25, and it looked like a very nice pistol. I have not seen any in the stores yet though.
I'm waiting to see it in my LGS. Reads real good, want to get one in my hand for up close look.

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
the activity of lying face-down in an unusual location and being photographed
'All around the world people have started planking – lying face-down, stiff, and expressionless across … weird and dangerous places, then posting pics of their stunts online.'Defamer, Australia 16th May 2011
'Julia Gillard urged plankers to consider safety implications of their pastime which involves lying face down in unusual locations …'Guardian 16th May 2011
'In Australia, a new Facebook page has attracted over 10,000 fans and counting. The page is home to hundreds of photos of people who have planked in various places around the country, including over train tracks, escalators, desks, fire hydrants and motorbikes.'Sky News, Australia 13th May 2011
Up until recently, the word plank referred only to a flat, unremarkable piece of wood, but thanks to a bizarre new fad sweeping the globe, it's now taken on a metaphoric interpretation and spawned a derivative or two along the way. Planking is a new word coined to refer to the activity of being photographed lying face-down – not that inspiring you might think, until you see exactly where that person is lying face-down. Check out this link and you'll get the idea …
the crucial thing about planking is … to find the most original location possible … the weirder the location, the better
People who engage in the activity of planking lie face-down with their arms by their sides, in a rigid, 'plank-like' pose, and get a friend to photograph them, usually with the intention of posting the resulting snapshot on the Internet. However the crucial thing about planking is that, in order to capture the attention of fellow planking enthusiasts, it's essential to find the most original location possible. This means that participants, dubbed plankers, are photographed lying outstretched on parked cars, rubbish bins, rooftops, office photocopiers, post boxes, ironing boards, or whatever novel surface they can manage to balance their body horizontally on or across. In the world of planking, the weirder the location, the better. Plankers are becoming increasingly ambitious, not only targeting well-known landmarks, but also precarious and downright dangerous positions in order to get that jaw-dropping image.
Though planking started out as a bit of innocent, light-hearted fun, it is this competitive aspect of it, fuelled by postings on social media sites, that has brought it into the spotlight. The activity first hit the headlines when a young man was arrested for planking on a police car in Queensland, Australia. However the urge to find ever more outlandish locations had far more serious consequences when it resulted in the tragic death of a 20-year-old, who fell when attempting a planking stunt across a narrow balcony rail on a high-rise building in Brisbane. This incident, the first known planking fatality, has led to a series of highly-publicized warnings about the dangers of taking the activity too far.
The activity noun planking was coined in Australia in 2011, though the concept underlying the fad dates back to the late nineties, and was previously known as the lying down game in Britain where it was invented by then-teenagers Gary Clarkson and Christian Langdon. The game went global in late 2007 when Clarkson and Langdon created a Facebook group dedicated to the activity.
The craze has also led to a new verbal use of plank, mainly intransitively and with an adverbial/prepositional phrase as in e.g. He planked on the school roof. However in Australian sources there's some evidence for transitive use, with the surface that the person lies on forming the object of the verb, so that we see examples like She planked her couch/a parked car.

Anybody have a highly reccommended AR-15 brand? One that has a good reliability record...
The smith and wesson M&P seemed like a good one? Are there better?
Colt. I've had three of them over the years, and they all worked flawlessly, even under difficult conditions. Still have one of them (sold the others when cash was tight).
I've also had several Bushmasters, and they all worked - except the last one. Some kind of problem with the bolt; once I replaced the bolt with a Colt bolt, it was good-to-go, but it left me a bit sour on the Bushy brand.
My experience is: If you're not going to run it hard (shoot it a LOT, and get it HOT), almost anything will work reliably for occasional target shooting. If you are going to push the envelope, then go with Colt or another company that has a good record with folks who run their guns hard, and be prepared to pay for that additional hard-use reliability.
I like my M&P15 and have had no problems with it. I really like that the the M&P comes with magpul handgaurds, buttstock and grips which are all things i would have wanted to change on almost any other AR.
Colt, Noveske, Bravo Co. MFG, Daniel Defense etc are all worth taking a look at.
There's some subtle differences between the Bushys, Smiths etc. and the ones I listed. The importance of those differences are always up for debate...
NEW Comparison Chart of Commercial M4 Pattern Carbines
DPMS , mine has never missed a beat even playing in the dirt.
Yes, VA's suggestions hold true. I'm in the market for a quality AR and priced some locally 899 is the low ball with S&W M&P-15 + local tax would bring that baby to 900 or so out the door. I also looked at a Daniels Arms for 1080, it felt very solid and well built. I may go back and get that one or get a DMPS AR-10 for around 997. We will see, but I'm at least a little more educated.
Last edited by denner; 02-08-2012 at 01:38 PM.
I have a Rock River Arms lower receiver with national match trigger, and a DPMS flat top 20" bull barrel upper. I didn't buy it for speed, but it hasn't belched in the 200 rounds or so of hand loaded ammo I've put through it so far.
Accuracy-wise, it is great, 0.44 for the last group at 100 yards, with hand loaded Hornady Match ammo, and that's with me ignoring the DPMS recommended barrel break-in.
Mark 12, still waiting to see what Colt's SP901 will retail for, but almost everything I end up really interested in ends up being over $2K and I'm not going to pay that much for a rifle that's going to spend more time in the safe than on the range.
Yes, my brother has a stock Remington R25(DPMS) and it shoots extremely well. But they can get expensive quick.

I'm a Noveske guy now. I've got a 10.5" 5.56 and just ordered an 8" 300 Blackout upper from Noveske for it as well.
Like has been said, if you're going to be shooting dirt clods on the rare weekends to impress a buddy... get whatever you want. If you're going to run it hard, get a Noveske or BCM.
DPMS has been flawless and S&W M&P is also an excellent choice...JJ

Hey guys,
Been a while since I posted anything here. So I wanted to come back with something to show.
I've been spending quite a bit of time over at the 405th and I've been surprised at how they are using papercraft software to create some really impressive Spartan armor. I designed a chest perm for them and then I modelled up some Fett gauntlets for a friend . This got me thinking Star Wars again and so I chose to try the Imperial Guard helmet.
Hopefully this will build into a decent likeness of it and using the 405th techniques, bondo will smooth it all out.
I'm still unfolding the model into the 2D patterns so I have no idea yet how this will turn out but I'm postive.
Hopefully, if it turns out well, I'll continue on to hopefully design armor based on Kir Kanos. See how this goes first.
I wondered if anyone here can help me with something though. Roughly, how tall is the Gauds helmet in 1:1?? I've never seen let alone owned one before so I have no idea. My guess is around 40-45cm?
Any feedback or comments are welcome as always. Thanks

Posted by Tom Grant on April 25, 2011
A new business model is emerging, and it depends heavily on software development. Many companies are dropping many of the traditional barriers between product development and customers. Without investing in software development, these efforts, no matter how well-intentioned, will have a better chance of failing than succeeding.
The simplest term I can concoct for this business model is "the transparent company." There are other defining characteristics of this corporate strategy, such as confidence in the ability to execute, and a very different sort of relationship with customers. However, as companies have been decidedly opaque to their customers, any transparency is a striking detail in itself. Hence the term "transparent company."
Wave Hello To The Engineer Fixing Your Bug
Here's an example of what I mean. I don't have to be a customer of Atlassian to know what issues Atlassian's engineers will fix in the next release of their wiki product, Confluence. That information is publicly available at this link. Diving into an issue at random — I chose "Database deadlock during initialisation of plugins in sql server" because it sounded fairly dire — I can see which engineer is working on this issue, Don Willis. I can even see the daily activity stream for Don Willis as he works on this issue and other projects.

I wound up at this Website due to a Google search. I then looked at a series of digital photos that were very intriguing, most of which had comments entered by blog "members". One picture just grabbed me and I wanted to make a comment on it. I was apparently required to "join" - that's fine.
Since joining I have spent over 25 minutes wandering all around your Website, even being suckered off to look at Overstock.com. I have been unable to intuitively find my way back to the picture so that I could post my comment. I thought the picture was in some sort of competition, but I've checked them all and can not find it again (picture is of a snail with a title like "travelling with house").
So what's the secret - the "search" feature either finds nothing or I'm advised that it's been disabled!
I guess I overdosed on my "stupid" pills this morning.

Dress Designers (from left to right): Maggie Sottero and Alfred Angelo
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's engagement was no surprise this spring. However, details on the couple's nuptials have been a secret until last week, when sources said Jolie will wear a custom dress designed by L'Wren Scott.
"Angelina wanted to go with someone who is not so obvious for designing wedding gowns," a source told Grazia. "She's been courted by some of the hottest designers on the planet, but having a big name isn't important to Angelina. She wanted someone she could trust, and she most definitely trusts L'Wren Scott."
Here's what we know: Jolie likes to make a statement and show off her figure. Maybe she'll wear a one-shoulder gown with a high-slit and jeweled embellishments similar to what she wore to the Oscars this year. Or maybe she'll channel her inner-Bella from Twilight with a long-sleeved gown that has a cut out back and lace embellishments. What if she decides to follow in other celebrities' footsteps and wear a colored gown? What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

The College of Architecture and Planning strives to admit students who have demonstrated excellent scholarship and promise to be high achievers in the college's programs. There is no magic formula for making this determination, no minimum academic standard that guarantees admission—what matters is how competitive your application is within the applicant pool in a given year.
In general, the majority of students admitted tend to be in the top 20 percent of their high school class, and they typically have SAT composite scores for critical reading and math of at least 1120, or an ACT score of 24. As for transfer students, the most competitive applicants have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
The admissions committee will review all submitted materials and consider the following:
A personal interview is not required, and neither is a portfolio. However, given the competitive nature of the application process, a portfolio is highly recommended in order to demonstrate to the CAP admissions committee your potential for achievement within the college. Also learn how to best prepare yourself in high school.
Equal Opportunity
The College of Architecture and Planning maintains no admission quotas by race, gender, state of residence, or expressed preference of major within the department. You can read Ball State's equal opportunity and affirmative action policy online.

|Same thign happened for me when i started riding two months ago. I got some help at camp while i was riding with the guest pro. He told me to keep my knees bent so when you hit bumps you wont bounce out of control and to keep your shoulders even with your board/to the direction your going. If your doign s turns and stuff make sure you kick your back leg out and keep your edge that your not on high to asure you don't catch an edge. idk if this will help but i can succsefully go down black runs after two months of riding. Also riding with people alot better than you helps alot because it urges you to keep up therefore expanding your tolorence for high speeds.
Thanks! To be fair though, it was the easiest possible green run at that mountain. There are other greens there that are still challenging for me, so can't move to the blues just yet.
On the toe side turns, work on keeping your torso straight & bending your knees more.
Glad the tips have helped so far!
Perhaps you're still mentally freaking out about the idea of leaning down towards the base of the hill?
I was hoping the tip I gave you about holding your pants/knee while riding would help keep you from thinking about it, so you could focus on your progression & just get comfortable with the position. When you notice yourself getting in the backseat while holding your pants, try grabbing a little further down your leg, or even over your knee cap if needed.
Consider incorporating calf raises into your workout to strengthen them
That's awesome that you're linking turns down the whole run!!!

Alright, just got back from Cypress Mountain near Vancouver BC.
Here is what I tried and the results:
1) Developed a feel for a 60-40 weight distribution on flat ground in order to try to reproduce it on the slope.
2) Grabbed my pants at the front knee while on the slope. This helped a lot in keeping my weight centered or forward (but I still leaned backwards on a steeper green; more on that later)
3) Did toe-side falling leaves as Snowolf suggested on the top (steeper) part of the run. I definitely need more time on the toe-edge. Feet start to burn very quickly.
4) On the middle of the run I did heel-side garlands
5) On the lower part of the run, I linked turns. After two goes like this, I was able to link turns from the top of the run!
After the lunch break, my fiance and I went on a steeper green run. I had some challenges here. The run is very narrow (Panorama @ Cypress) so I had difficulty making toeside turns because I was afraid of falling off the side of the run! I also had more trouble keeping my weight forward/centered because the is steeper than the "Easy Rider" run I was doing before. Also, Panorama was much icier due to the higher traffic.
Plan of action: Next week I'll be back on Easy Rider for one run because I believe the challenge on Panorama should make Easy Rider a confident run for me, allowing me to reinforce my learning. After that, I'll go back on Panorama and try to get used to the increased steepness and speed.
Consider incorporating calf raises into your workout to strengthen them - just give yourself a few days between doing them and riding or your calves will be killing you - especially if you're not used to this exercise. If your heel is lifting in your boots, consider putting j-bars in to hold your heel in place. If your boots are way too big, consider buying another pair in the right size.
That's awesome that you're linking turns down the whole run!!! I'd suggest working on your toe side falling leaf to strengthen that ability & build more confidence in your toe side. If you're having issues turning toe side or holding the leaf toe side, you may want to look up the mountain, as it should cause you to naturally turn a little easier (this should be done as you start to turn toe-side to help complete the turn).
Now that you're successfully linking turns from the top of the run to the bottom, I suggest continuing to do so & consider an easier blue run to try linking turns on. Successful or not here, go back to a green you feel comfortable on & practice some more. When you feel comfortable after a few runs, consider trying an easier blue again, the same or another.
Congrats on the progress so far! Now you just need to practice as much as you can to develop some muscle memory for the rest of this season & the start of next
As far as steering with your shoulder...riding with open shoulders is a really bad habit. Consider steering with your foot & knee. It will hopefully prevent you from developing some bad riding habits that will be difficult to break later down the line
I'm rotating the head, but perhaps not the shoulder. I know I'm supposed to do a slight rotation of the shoulder but I'm fearful of getting into the habit of steering with the shoulders so perhaps I underdo the rotation. I'll try that next weekend
Don't worry about you shoulder steering...hopefully you are already driving with your knee, i.e., torsional twisting. So you just need to get your whole body doing the same thing...starting from the bottom up...knee, hip and shoulder. Btw I still tend to counter rotate my shoulder and tend to look down hill and this past weekend when too tired to bomb; did a few black runs practicing looking back up hill to really engage the toeside to slow down and really control my speed instead of doing open-s bombs.
I think the boots are centered. I've had problems with the boots being loose before (twisted an ankle that way once) so I try to make them as tight as possible. I have one of those "easy-lace" boot mechanisms that you pull the laces through these locking devices. I yank the laces as hard as I can and retighten every few runs.
I sometimes get a bit of heel lift, which prompts me to retighten.
Having to retighten every few runs is a bad sign. If I tighten my laces too much my feet will hurt because it's actually cutting off the circulation!
FWIW I wear an 8.5 shoe but I'm in 7.5 boots now and they feel fantastic. I had 9s before and thought they fit well until I tried on something that ACTUALLY fit...

A tow rope was where I had my worst injury, lead to arthroscopic surgery on my ankle. Damn tow rope.

In the past few months I have been getting tons of pm's. Some from long time members and alot from newbies who just come here to pm me.
You all have been asking for custom items for your costumes you are trying to put together. I have pm'd
most of you that at this time I haven't been able to even look at them due to all the things I have going on right now.
I have been very busy with making 7 sets of LOS Armor for some batman guys. These sets have been very difficult to do being that alot of the leather has been acting up. I've been having trouble with the leather wanting to take the dye in right, glue not sticking, among other problems. My torso bust was stolen and without Bob its been hard to mold these correctly and faster.
I have also obtained a new job recently and it has taken most of my evenings.
Weeks back I have also broken my right elbow. I was aiding my neighbor one night from a assault and got injured in the process.
My gf Jessica is carrying my first child and has been going crazy the last few weeks. She has been going all out. Signing us up for all kinds of appointments. I could be in the middle of cutting leather and I get yanked by my good arm to go here and there. I've been to birthing classes, registries, doc appointments, etc. She's driving me nuts...lol but in a good way. I just know she's very excited about everything.
So when I tell you I can't do a job for you, its not because I just don't want to. I just can't fit it in right now. Sometimes alot of the newbie responses I get after I decline have shocked me..lol. i really am sorry, I'm not trying to be a *****, or what ever other names there were. I appreciate that you would come to me for your needs but please understand that I just don't have the time right now.
I have alot of new ideas and projects that I have been putting off that I want to get started on but need to take care of what I got going on first. And with a few things getting lost in the mail it sets me back alittle more. After I ship items I really don't have any control over what happens to it. But that doesn't mean its right to leave a buyer hanging. A buyer could dispute it, I would provide tracking, I'd be clear but the seller would frown. its just not right to me. The buyer is still out of his money. But as long as I am capable of remaking an item, I will. Hopefully those lost items will go somewhere where they are needed. So if you see a ESB belt on a little boy in Africa or something, you know where they are..lol.
Again, I am very sorry I can not do all the projects you ask for right now, but I appreciate you coming to me. Thanks.

I see your point, did you hail to the other boat stating your rights? To me it sounds like the other boat would've crossed clear ahead if you had room to luff up and didn't catch his stern with your bow. Hence no overlap and no rights. A hail of "leeward boat" could've made them alter course to give you a little more breathing room. In any case rule 1 is avoid collision, sounds like you did that, good on ya.
I had a similar backstay setup on my boat, didn't work real well and got really hard to tension under a high load. I'd look at changing it out with some high tech line and lightweight blocks to reduce the friction and get more control over your backstay/forestay tension.
I passed about 20 feet astern of his boat -- well within "biscuit toss." I slightly resent your presumption that I can't tell the difference between 50 feet (when I started my avoidance maneuver) and 100 yards. If I tell you I went into irons and still only missed him by 20 feet or so, does that tell you how close we were? 100 yards would be nearly eleven boat lengths; if he were that far in front of me I wouldn't have worried about changing course.
And I really don't want to hear about how "racers are used to maneuvering boats in very close quarters at speed in challenging conditions." I wasn't in a race, I was single-handing in windy conditions and trying to keep things under control, and I had the right of way. He had no business maintaining course because he thought we might miss by whole inches or maybe a couple of feet. It's required of him to make an obvious maneuver to avoid me.
And what if his judgment had been wrong, and we had collided? That would have been a lovely scene: two boats t-boning in 20 kt winds, one or both possibly dismasted and taking on water, maybe injuries. All because a racer didn't want to lose a couple of seconds in a meaningless race?
It's one thing of both of us had been racing -- if both boats have accepted the risks of racing and understand "accidents will happen," then it's an understood matter. He should have known very well I wasn't part of the race and put both of us at risk.
As for the purchase on my backstay, I think it's 4:1; but here's a picture of the setup.
The 24:1 is a combination of 2 triple blocks and a couple cascade purchases. Pretty common for a backstay setup. In larger boats that don't allow hydraulics they go to 48 and 72:1 purchases. What is your purchase on your backstay?
I also asked how close was the race boat? Racers are not going to change course unless they know they are going to hit you. You moved out of the way. My guess is that they were at least 100yds or more from you when you changed course. This has nothing to do with racers being A holes, they're racing and trying to take the most direct route.
I do not ignore colregs. If that's your impression of racers than you're completely off base. Racers are used to maneuvering boats in very close quarters at speed in challenging conditions. They're always pushing it. If it makes you uncomfortable, then you did the right thing, and got out of the way. It's not going to cost you 2 or 3 places in a race if you change course by 10*. My guess is you never had to change course in the first place.
|Maybe I should start a "Big Freakin' Heave-To" thread.
Once you drop the jib (or furl it) you will lose a good bit of forward speed which might be desirable in conditions where the waves are close together. Without a jib you can hold most points of sail but with more leeway and less speed. 'Fore reaching' is pretty easy to do with just the main which is basically pinching as much as you can into the wind with plenty of luffing but requires someone at the helm.
If you can heave to you should be able to tie/lock your tiller/wheel over to one side and go forward. This assumes you have the room to drift to leeward.
Heaving to can be fun. Try it on your Newport 28'. You might like it.
Yes, I do have a downhaul on the genny. It is the single greatest upgrade I've made on the boat since I've had her, I think. I had a bit of a hassle getting it set up so that it didn't get pinched by the hanks -- I had the line led up through all the hanks, and when the sail started coming down the lower hanks would pinch the line, making it impossible to lower the sail any more.
I found that not putting the line inside the hanks at all worked best. I have a small turning block right at the base of the forestay, so the line stays parallel to the stay regardless of the tack I'm on. Since it can't be pinched by the hanks, I never have problems getting the sail down.
I thought I read in another thread that heaving to was a good way to put in a reef. What advantage do you think making the jib go away gives you over just heaving to?
Do you have a downhaul rigged on your genoa? I ask because making the jib go away has proven the key to reefing our main singlehanded.
I head up, furl the jib, and ease the main -- not blowing it completely, but setting it for a beam reach while the boat is above a close reach. The upshot is something like heaving to: the boat keeps a little headway on, which maintains it head-to-wind even w/out the tiller locked. I find the boat takes care of itself in this setup while I go forward and reef.
Might be too much hassle with a hanked-on sail, tho.
No, mine is hanked on.
I'm looking forward to seeing a photo of your tiller tamer.
One item I haven't seen discussed: cunningham. If/when you haul on your backstay adjuster, it will flatten and depower the main while tensioning the forestay. Both desirable in heavy air. But backstay tension, combined with wind-induced fabric stretch, will also move the mainsail draft back by quite a lot, which can lead to acute weather helm -- less total power, but that power is concentrated farther aft. While not as good as tensioning the mainsail halyard/downhaul -- and certainly not as good as reefing -- a moderate tug on the cunningham (or forward reefing grommet, if that's all you have) should move that draft right forward again. It's a temporary fix, that vertical wrinkle in the luff, but not to be despised.
My tiller tamer is a length of 1/4" line strung between the aft cleats; a 3"x3/4"x1/2"t piece of notched HDPE plastic loosely screwed to the underside of the tiller, 1 foot from the front end; a T-nut epoxied into the tiller, and a knob that screws into the T-nut. Cord runs in the notch. One clockwise rev on the knob pinches the cord against the tiller and holds it in place. One rev the other way makes it loose for hand steering. Cost, two bucks. Makes reefing and heaving-to dead easy. I'll try to get a photo tomorrow.
I forget -- do you have a roller furling headsail?
Originally Posted by jaschrumpf View Post

To a racer our passage may not have looked like much, but I was not racing -- rather, I was pursuing my rather difficult course home while watching a fully-manned boat coming down on me fast and making no attempt to alter course. It's not a race if you're both not in it, and it's not like there was a course marked with buoys and I was obviously cutting through it-- he was coming straight down the river, apparently all alone, and was on a definite collision course with me. I have no doubt that one of us would have t-boned the other had I not changed course, and I wasn't the one that was supposed to change course. Especially since all I could do was go into irons, as falling off would have just put me into his path even more.
I'm not interested in racing, but I could develop a real dislike of them real fast if I run into any more of the "I don't have to follow the rules of the road with a cruiser because I'm in a race" mentality. That attitude is a lot like cyclists who demand to "share the road," yet run stop signs and traffic lights and generally ignore any lane markings that don't suit them.
A small percentage of boaters, power or sail, are always gonna be jerks and only occasionally is there a CG or county mountie right there to see it happen, unfortunately.

If there was a category for "Single-Most-Loved Product" at Harbor Freight Tools, the US General tool cabinets and carts would probably be in a tight group, a length ahead of all the others. Be it the insanely popular 44″ 13-Drawer Tool Cabinet, the extra large 56″ 11-Drawer Industrial Rolling Cabinet, the mammoth 72″ 18-Drawer Industrial Roller Cabinet or the economical, yet rugged, 4-Drawer Tool Cart, the US General tool chests have amassed a ton of rave reviews– both for the quality and the value.
Which is why it's no surprise to see the way-thumbs-up reviews of the 700-lb. Capacity 5-Drawer Tool Cart
Same beautiful fire-engine red as the other models, the rugged all-steel, 5-drawer tool cart is the ideal choice for the wrencher with just enough– but not too many– tools. As pointed out by Jeff G. Holt in the May 2013 Used and Abused column of Hot Bike :
"This all-steel 120-pound tool cart is a great place to store a myriad of tools for not a lot of money. This bright-red powder-coated rollaway is constructed (of) 14-gauge steel and can hold up to 700 pounds worth of stuff."
Jeff wasn't a pushover for just the pretty face, though. He put the baby to work immediately.
"Sure, that is all well and good, but for a cabinet such as this, with a rather low price tag, I was worried about things like the drawers opening smoothly and other quality-related issues. Once I freed it from its shipping box, I assembled it (it took less than a half hour) and loaded it full of my wayward tools and was able to put it to the test. The ball-bearing rails on each of the drawers worked smoothly and they even had a locking lever per drawer like only the carts costing three times the price usually possess. The key-controlled locking mechanism on the top of the cart also worked flawlessly, which is truly a feat for something of this price. When fully loaded, this cart rolled around freely due to the two fixed and two swiveling locking casters. It even did so on chunky asphalt."
Sounds like a winner. But, how about down the road? Did the tool cart stand the test of time?
"After throwing tools in and out of the cart for almost a year now, I have been pretty impressed with the quality construction and ease of use. The only problem I am currently having with it is that I am running out of room and I'll need to switch to a larger storage system. If you are looking for a rolling workstation such as this, don't let the low price keep you away, buy this and save a couple hundred dollars over the competition."
A larger storage system? Harbor Freight can do that! Or, how about just getting a second tried-and-true 5-drawer tool cart? You can find the 700-lb.Capacity 5-Drawer Tool Cart at your local Harbor Freight, or online, for a low $199.99– or, keep your eyes peeled and get it for $169.99 with coupon! Girls on Hot Bike magazine cover not included.
Johnny Hunkins, editor of Popular Hot Rodding magazine, also posted a great article on his blog about Harbor Freight's tool carts. When he visited our QA facility in Calabasas, CA, he was impressed with the thoroughness of our tool testing. , and the US General tool cart was actually one of dozens of products he got to sample side-by-side with competitors' products that are generally much more expensive. As Johnny observed:
" You really have to put your hands on this cart, open the drawers, slam the lid, and roll it around to believe it. With severe-duty ball bearing roller tracks, thick gauge steel cabinet, chunky ball bearing casters, smooth pneumatic lid struts, locking drawer tabs, grippy drawer liners, durable powdercoat red paint, and beefy frame, the HTF cart would be a welcome addition to any garage at twice the price."
Jacob Jackson of Truckin' magazine had his own thoughts on the subject, handing the crown of "Best Mechanic's Cart Under $250" to Harbor Freight's tool cart:
"It's difficult to overstate the incredible value the US General Pro five-drawer tool cart, represents in the tool world. You get super-strong 14-gauge steel, five storage drawers of varying depths, and gas struts for the lid, which can support 176 pounds. The bright-red powdercoat was tough yet looked good, and for under $200, you get a legitimate mobile workstation and not just a little cart. It was the clear-cut winner of this shootout."
Decide for yourself. Come visit your local Harbor Freight Tools and try the US General 5-Drawer Tool Cart mano y mano. We think you'll walk away a believer– and a proud new owner– too.

Ok, this is my first Character Guide and i played a long time Rakion.So its time for me to show my experience of :
The Ninja
The Ninja is the fastest charachter in the game , thats the power of the Ninja.Sadly enough it sacrifices ur normal attacks wich don't deal great damage.This character can run from of a battle if its to intense...
Ur armour isnt great either but remember u get ur movement speed for it in return...Well let's get started.
What kind of Ninja's are good?
1.The Stun-Gripper.
This one is my favorite and mostly the strongest and most used in high lv games.U see most Ninja's doing the same move called stun gripping.The more stat points in move and atk speed the better u can stun (grip).
Recommended stats:
1.First u put about 12 points into atk speed.
2.Now about 12 into move speed.
U should noticed during fighting u can stun grip better and better and ur skill is growing just like ur stat and level.
3.Go on untill u have 27 atk speed and 27 move speed.
4.Now u can put about 9 till 18 into grip(not to much lvling aint easy )
5.now go on untill u maxed out these 3 till 50/50 now u can choose further if u want it to any other skill like CD or life.
2.The Jump-Attacker
There arent much of these but if u mastered the Technique u can own pretty quick.
Recommended stats:
(this should be done quick)
1.Although u going to use ur jump atk first max out ur move speed(move speed is a must in rakion).So 50/50 move speed at first
2.Now it becomes simply 50/50 range u can test urself at low lv if ur ready for this type of Ninja.
3.If ur thinking raising life , armour or atk speed after is ur choice but i recommend atk speed first but that's ur own decision.
3.The Beast
This type of Ninja is dangrous if ur high lv like 50+ cuz u have to max out many things...
Recommended stats:
1.Well like i said before move speed is a must...Come on, go level up urself !!!
2.U can choose wich stat u wanna raise first but pick one of these:
Basic Attack
Special attack

Saab 9-5
The Saab 9-5 is a car that stayed in production longer than most, but that was more out of economic necessity than brilliance. …
The Nissan Primera may not be quite as sharp to drive as a Ford Mondeo, but it isn't far off. It handles nicely through the bends, with plenty of grip and taut body control, yet it also smooths out bumps at higher speeds.
The steering is overly light, though, and the ride is firm around town. However, all the engines are crisp, rev cleanly and work well with the standard manual gearbox.
On the motorway, it's a generally refined cruiser. However, there is a bit of wind noise, and the CVT auto (continuously variable transmission) can make the engine sound rowdy under hard acceleration.
The well-built cabin is a roomy five-seater, with the rear bench sited slightly higher than the front seats for an airier feel. The driving position is comfortable and, while the big boot is a useful size, it has an irritating narrow opening.

A stylish and safe choice, but it's rather small compared with BMW and Audi rivals. …
The Volkswagen Phaeton is well engineered, but a lack of kudos may be crucial …
The Saab 9-3 is a great place to sit, but keen drivers should look away now …

g3--love your signature line :)
I can see I am going to need to get some frames built to fit my top bar and then rubber band in these mess-ups. Do you (or anybody) ever try tying it onto the top bar without using a frame?
Also, exactly where/how does a person do this without ticking off the bees or chilling the brood? Right at the hive? Thanks for helping a newbee with all these questions!
