Chip Conley:
Measuring what makes life worthwhile
When the dotcom bubble burst, hotelier Chip Conley went in search of a business model based on happiness. In an old friendship with an employee and in the wisdom of a Buddhist king, he learned that success comes from what you count.

Very solid riding videos
Hey everyone. I thought I would share some videos which I am quite fond of. I am more of a visual learner which really draws me to videos of proficient riding (which are hard to come by!). I shared these videos in a post over at epic ski - their snowboarding community doesn't seem as active.

most of the time, it's groomed ice granules and the blues are what I've seen most blacks elsewhere. Although, some of their blues are rather mild too.
For me, riding in any terrain is fun but getting some give with the snow makes it even better, especially when you fall!
wow those casi videos are incredibly impressive!
I think videos like that are good and bad. They are good for people to see what high level riding can look like and give some indication of the riding/teaching standards to instructors.
However, they also hurt because then you think things like "that's what a dynamic carved turn should look like" and try to mimic it. There are basic elements to anything we do on a snowboard that have to be there, but to what degree and how the rider wants to make them happen is what creates style. That is something that I know AASI-E wants to preserve. Otherwise, snowboarding turns into skiing and people are failing exams because they don't have the right form.
However, I do agree that AASI could use a better video presence on the web.
Jim I totally agree with you around that idea that individual style should be encouraged when snowboarding. I just posted those videos up to possibly get someone out there excited about technical riding. I think something the sport of snowboarding really lacks are good video examples of proficient riding outside of the park. There are plenty of videos out there showing people doing tricks off jumps or jibbing rails. Don't get me wrong these videos are really cool, but there are hardly any videos out there of people completing their turns on steeps, truly riding dynamic, or carving on a freestyle setup. I think if people were aware of higher level riding they would think "man I want to ride like that!" and pursue it -take lessons, become instructors, or watch more videos at work.

Can anyone explain what type of turn this is, and whats being done pressure/edge-wise throughout the various phases of the turn?
Is this a dolphin turn? It looks like he is kind of ollieing from one turn to next, and/or using the rebound pressure built up to do so?
When is it useful? Or is it the pressure/edge control you learn from being able to do this which is more useful?
The only other vid with this kind of turn which I can find, but not nearly as effortless as the vid above:
110313 Dolphin turn High1_V1.. GFbbsd - YouTube
I spent some time last season trying to recreate this turn. I think it looks REALLY freakin cool, and I think you hit the nail on the head with "is it the pressure/edge control you learn from being able to do this which is more useful?"
My analysis of the turn - I think that the CASI rider is demonstrating a flexion/extension drill. The drill intent is for independent flexion/extension combined with fore/aft movements. The turns are carved (notice the pencil lines in the video). The rider is air born in the transition edge to edge. At the exit of the turn the rider is popping off the tail of the board shifting weight back while flexing the front knee and extending the back knee. While airborne the rider extends the front knee flexes the back knee and shifts his weight forward. If you watch the video slowly the rider pops off the tail of the board and lands on the nose on the new edge. I spent a decent amount of time working on this turn last season in the manor I just described, and I think that it helped improve my dynamic riding
WVrider84m, thanks for the analysis.
The guy on the CASI vid just makes it look so annoyingly effortless. He's getting lots of pop without flexing his knees much. I tried it myself on different occasions and couldn't get any pop without getting tired very quickly.
What should you concentrate on when doing it? Is it very quick fore/aft movements and timing the rebound to match this, or is it to buy a very poppy board:) Does the flex of the board actually make a difference? Or do I need to build up my legs at the gym lol?
Also, one of the BASI (British Association Snowboard Instructors) coaches Neil McNab calls it a cross-under turn - kind of confuses things with the usual cross-under turn which stays on the ground. Maybe it's an advanced version?
I always thought that was a proper way to ride, fore/aft movements + unweighting movement.
Is it normal for (aggressive upunweighting such as that dolphin turn) to take a toll on the knees/body?
I find it MUCH easier to aggressively down-unweigh and still have the board leave the ground if I choose to by the speed of my knee flexion and engage my downhill edge as fast as possible while carving, + the g-force one experiences at the bottom of the turn can be used to propel your body down the hill to the next edge with down unweighting, where up unweighting you would have to fight this? (this is why I experience problems up uwneighting?)
Last season I managed maybe 3 or 4 these dolphin turns before switching back to a cross under movement.
That reminds me, in that CASI 4 video, that guy is up unweighting.
In AASI, does dynamic riding refer to pure down unweighting? or does it include up unweighting? and does the body have to take a different path from the board? (If doing large gs style carves + a down unweight, is this not deemed dynamic?)
Or is it deemed dynamic cause in both cases, the distance from the board and body is changing anyways, and the only up unweight that is not dynamic is the static knees rock body back/forth thing beginners do?
I'm sleep deprived, sorry lol

Hello all,
I just purchased a 03 VW Passat V6 4Motion. I traded in my Accord for it, so I've been recruited over from Honda. Lol. My husband has been a VW lover for most of his life and after driving my new car, I am one too now. My only problem I have is that all the cars I have owned I have personalized in some way, either by putting pink flames down the sides and hood or bumper stickers and a lot of small decals. I realize that it's not the VW way to over visually modify the vehicle, but I do want to personalize it in some way. My colors I want to do it in are silver (the cars actual color), black, and with pink accents. What does everyone think about my plan to do silver and black on the exterior and black with pink on the interior? And I would only put a few pink accents on the exterior.
The only reason I ask is because my husband and his best friend are against anything I want to do to the car, while they are already planning on lowering it, putting an exhaust on it, getting new rims, putting a chip in it, and putting a sub in it. (Which I don't object to at all)
So what do you think?

AMES, Iowa — Iowa Learning Farms, AgVantage FS and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will host a field day at the AgVantage FS test plot located west of Sumner, Iowa, beginning at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, June 27. The field day will focus on in-season urea nitrogen fertilizer application with GreenSeeker technology and its impact on corn and water quality.
The field day will include presentations by John Sawyer and Dan Barker, ISU Extension and Outreach agronomists. They will highlight corn yield results from 2011 on-farm trials with in-season urea fertilizer application and potential for the crop management practice.
GreenSeeker precision agriculture specialist Russ Linhart will address questions about GreenSeeker technology, which uses sensors on the fertilizer applicator equipment to assess corn leaf greenness. Corn plants that are less green may not have sufficient nitrogen to optimize plant growth and resulting yield. The GreenSeeker sensors and variable-rate application technology fine-tunes the amount of urea nitrogen applied, targeting these nitrogen-deficient plants. This technology will be demonstrated at the field day.
GROWMARK field sales agronomist John Grandin will discuss nitrogen management as a system. ISU Extension and Outreach water quality engineer Matt Helmers will demonstrate the ILF Conservation Station rainfall simulator and discuss the relationship between fine-tuning nitrogen application rates and timing and the potential to reduce nitrate leaching into nearby streams and rivers.
The field day includes a complimentary lunch. The event is free and the public is invited to attend. The AgVantage FS test plot is located on at the intersection of Highway 93 and Whitetail Ave. just west of Sumner.
Iowa Learning Farms takes a grassroots approach, offering innovative ways to help all Iowans have an active role in keeping the state's natural resources healthy and not take them for granted. A goal of Iowa Learning Farms is to build a culture of conservation, encouraging the adoption of residue management and conservation practices. Farmers, researchers and ILF team members are working together to identify and implement the best in-field management practices that increase water and soil quality while remaining profitable.
Iowa Learning Farms is a partnership of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, Iowa Natural Resources Conservation Service and Iowa Department of Natural Resources (USEPA section 319); in cooperation with Conservation Districts of Iowa, the Iowa Farm Bureau and the Iowa Water Center.

There is increasing evidence racist attacks are growing in many areas in Lithuania. The Indian singer, Bemeen, who works in the area has encountered examples of people using expressions such as "nigger" in order to describe him or his colleagues. This week, a gang assualted Bemeen, who is black, resulting in a beating that sent her to the hospital. The singer who performs in Lithuania and on local TV notes: "You cannot escape such people because they are everywhere. I worked hard in nine months and I do not plan to run from somebody calling me a 'nigger.' This was the first attack of such in my life. I have forgotten things like this. I kow this happens in all parts of the world, not only in Lithuania, but also London, South Africa, America. But it is totally different when it happens in a small country like this."
Official figures indicate there has been a rise in such attacks, but they still number fewer than fifty nationwide. Obviously, one such incident is one too many, but until the numbers of black skinned people rise in the Baltic nations, these attacks will remain local in nature.

Three Canisius College athletic teams earned the NCAA Public Recognition Award based on their most recent multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR), the NCAA announced on Wednesday. The Golden Griffin golf, volleyball and men's cross country teams all earned the honor, which is presented to teams with APRs in the top-10 percent of their sport nationally for the four-year period ending in 2011-12. The three teams honored are the most for Canisius in a single year.
This marks the second consecutive year where the NCAA has honored the golf program, and for volleyball this is the Blue and Gold's fifth public recognition award since the NCAA started the program in 2004-05. Those five awards are the most of any volleyball program in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. This is the first time the men's cross country program has been acknowledged by the NCAA for this award.
Each year, the NCAA honors selected Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multiyear APR. This announcement is part of the overall Division I academic reform effort and is intended to highlight teams who demonstrate a commitment to academic progress and retention of student-athletes by achieving the top APRs within their respective sports. Specifically, these teams posted multiyear APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads in each sport.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance. Multiyear APRs for all Division I sports teams, including the teams receiving public recognition, will be announced by the NCAA on June 11.
Additionally, the Canisius athletic department announced today that the College's 359 student-athletes posted a cumulative grade point average of 3.201 for the spring 2013 semester. A total of 269 student-athletes (74.9 percent) had a grade point average of 3.0 or better and 14 Griffs had a perfect 4.0 grade point average for the spring semester.
"The 2012-13 year was a tremendously successful year for the Canisius athletic department, highlighted by three teams winning conference championships and advancing to the NCAA Tournament," Canisius Director of Athletics Bill Maher said. "But with all the success in the playing arena, our student-athletes also understand that they have a responsibility in the classroom. I believe that these NCAA Public Recognition Awards and the outstanding overall academic achievement of our teams illustrates how much we value their overall development as young men and women. We are very proud of their work as both students and as athletes."Thirteen of the College's 17 varsity teams recorded a team grade point average of 3.0 or higher in the spring 2013 semester, with the hockey team leading the way with a 3.48 GPA. The women's swimming and diving program (3.44) and the softball team (3.41) also had a semester grade point average of 3.4 or better, while men's cross country (3.38), women's cross country (3.38), volleyball (3.38), synchronized swimming (3.38) and women's soccer (3.35) were all better than a 3.30 for the semester. For the entire 2012-13 academic year, 12 programs had a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher, led by the hockey team's 3.43 team GPA.

I just made a quick overlay on my colors on the jet pack.
The jet pack that is laying down is an image of a series called Image Attack that was shown prior to AOTC been release in theaters.
This image clearly show how close these can colors came to the real deal.
Almost exact lighting conditions too. I've seen a few threads regarding the stubby pack.
So I figured I refreshed the minds of some folks.
Plus there's talks about a new Stubby Jet Pack coming out soon.;)

text: ^ lol, what ? but I really like Brown, I have never been excited by a men's junior skater for a while, you feel his energy and just want to skate with Brown, I don't feel anything from Farris, I respect if others may like Farris style but he is not my cup of tea. As I said before Farris will become the new Ross Miner or Dornbush, once he goes seniors he will be left behind and in the shadows Farris is just too boring and forgettable. look at Brown he has been rewarded and judges love him even without the harder jumps yet, just imagine if he gets them next season, Im not yet that optimistic but he can pretty much beat most seniors GP once he gets the quad and axel maybe even Chan.

Hi everybody.
I'm intrested in buying a camera with the best video performance in the price range of the following cameras. I have read the reviews about the sx40, the fz150 and the sony hv100 but i was unable to decide. This is due to the fact that they have micro-differences in colours, sharpness and features while in video mode. ( I have little knowledge about cameras). So i thought that you guys could help me. Any suggestions and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
In your opinion, which of the following has better picture (in various lightnings) ?
A ) Cannon sx40
B ) Panasonic fz150
C ) sony hv100
D ) It's the same dude
E ) Canon Vixia HF M40
Any Suggestions?

if you ordered Canon Vixia HF M40 less than a month ago, then you probably got it at a big discount. Most US suppliers were offering it for $399, which is $300 off the normal price. This was your "heads-up" that a new design was on the way.
Posted 25 April 2013 - 10:35 AM
I think you should buy Sony 380 instead of buying sony sx40, I have used both but I like the color quality and sharpness of Sony 380.

Waldo Canyon Fire victims should prepare for flash flooding
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - In Colorado, many deal with the risk of losing property or their lives because of flash flooding every year. The recent Waldo Canyon Fire makes waterways a potential danger for hundreds of people on the west side of Colorado Springs and unincorporated El Paso County.
Not even the U.S. Forest Service can say exactly what kind of impact the burn zone will have on water runoff. They have a BEAR team - Burned Area Emergency Response team - on its way to address land rehabilitation questions.
"There's a whole host of tools that the BEAR team has to... address, 'OK now how do we protect homes and communities from the potential for debris movement and water runoff?' That kind of stuff," said Rich Harvey, incident commander on the Waldo Canyon Fire.
In response to the potential disaster, the city of Colorado Springs and El Paso County hosted an informational meeting for the public on the dangers of flash flooding.
"There's no vegetation up there, the slopes are bare-- there's going to be increased erosion," said Jamie Prochno, who represents the Colorado Water Conservation Board. "A small rainstorm that may have created a small flood may be a 10-year flood that could now be a 100-year flood."
FEMA and the home insurance industry were also represented. Home owners learned that flood insurance is available but doesn't kick in until 30 days after the policy is purchased.

Samsung's 82 Inch TFT-LCD HDTV
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Home Entertainment
Come on now, Samsung. Why do you taunt us so? Obviously this 82" TFT-LCD high definition television isn't even on the market yet (you can expect to see it in a couple of years), but once it does hit retail, who is going to be able to afford one? Oh well, it sure is a nice way to hit CeBIT with style.

South Park Studio Version 2
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet
If you have ever wanted to create your own South Park character - or create yourself as a South Park character - now is your chance. The South Park Studio over at Planearium allows you to put together bits and pieces, Potato Head style, to create your own South Park characters. I must say, they did a good job with this one. It is definitely fun messing around with all the different pieces they have to offer. Feel free to link to some of your creations.

Pilot Watch With Slide Rule
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Wearables
My geek meter went right past the 11 mark when I saw the Pilot Watch, which has a built in slide rule. If you didn't know, a slide rule is a device made obsolete by the invention of the electronic calculator. For those of us who want to get nostalgic or flaunt their supergenius, the slider helps you solve time, distance and speed equations, provide currency conversions, multiply, divide, and perform any conversion of a linear nature such as ounces to grams, kilograms to pounds, miles to kilometers, etc. Impress your date and calculate tips at the same time! It retails for $250.

Imp-2003 Flash-Based Shuffle Player
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Portable Audio / Video
It's amazing how quickly others can copy a product. Still, I guess competition is a good thing. Behold the Imp-2003, an iPod shuffle-like device from I-Money Tech of China. It's screenless and random, as you'd expect. But what makes it even better is the built in SD slot for additional MP3 goodness, and a plastic loop built into its chassis so that you can swing it on your neck - or other body part of your choice.

PodGear iPod ShuffleStation
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Portable Audio / Video
The PodGear ShuffleStation reminds me of the Altec Lansing inMotion iPod speakers. Basically, you sit the iPod shuffle on the based provided on the ShuffleStation, and the two stereo speakers play the music from the shuffle. Very simple. If plugged in, the ShuffleStation will also charge the iPod shuffle while it is docked. The unit also works with 4 AAA batteries, but will not charge the iPod when using this method.

Motorola ROKR iTunes Phone To Be Unveiled Thursday
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones, Portable Audio / Video
According to MSNBC, Motorola is supposed to take the wraps of the much anticipated ROKR iTunes phone this Thursday, March 10. The device has been shrouded in mystery, as many have been waiting to see what Motorola and Apple had come up with ever since the initial announcement was made months ago. Motorola has had great success recently with the RAZR V3 line, which catapulted the phone manufacturer to the number 2 spot - right behind Nokia. With more RAZR versions on the way, as well as the PEBL and ROKR lines, Nokia better take heed, quickly.

There's nothing more memorable than a fun snowshoe up a scenic Maine mountain. Join our experienced guides on a snowshoe tour through a wintry landscape.
Hiking isn't just for the summer months! Join our expert instructors for a guided snowshoe adventure up Pleasant Mountain in Bridgton, Maine. This moderately intense 3- to 5-mile snowshoe hike offers three-season hikers the opportunity to add a fourth season and active snowshoers the chance to push the boundaries of their skillset.
After meeting your guides at Fogg farm in Freeport, you'll ride a comfortable bus to the trailhead in Bridgton. There, you'll briefly review snowshoeing techniques and learn important tips about hiking in the winter. The trek will wind its way up the mountain, offering breathtaking views of Maine's western hills over Moose Pond. After reaching the top, your descent takes you back to the trailhead by approximately 3 p.m.
The hike includes hot cocoa, lunch on the trail and snacks. All necessary snowshoeing and hiking equipment is provided, although you may choose to bring your own snowshoes and crampons (subject to inspection by the guides). Participants should have some prior hiking and snowshoeing experience.
Please note this tour is weather dependent.
L.L.Bean does not usually cancel events due to inclement weather. However, we reserve the right to cancel an event at any time due to severe weather, low enrollment or other concerns. If L.L.Bean cancels your event, you will receive a full refund for the cost of your reservation.
Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy
*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.

By Chris Harris
Faye White has been ruled out for the rest of this season - for the best possible reason.
The Arsenal Ladies captain is expecting her first child and the news has prompted her to call time on her international career. But Faye has yet to decide whether she will return to club duties after her baby is born.
"I'm pregnant and I'm going to be a Mum for the first time in October," a delighted Faye told Arsenal.com.
"Obviously I have told the team and the manager [Laura Harvey] and I know I won't be playing for a while. But basically I am coming towards the end of my career now anyway so there are lots of decisions to be made.
"I have spoken to [England boss] Hope [Powell] and this will more or less signal the end. I have had 15 or 16 years with England and I think this was always going to be my last year. Having made that decision after the World Cup I picked up yet another injury and had to have keyhole surgery on both my knees, which has been quite a struggle to come back from.
"But I have always overcome injuries in the past and I was determined to get over this one. I finally got back to playing and training in the New Year but basically my international career will be over now. But Hope was delighted for me, we spoke about my career in the past and what it means going forward now."
The door may have closed on Faye's England career but she has kept it ajar for Arsenal. After 27 honours in 15 seasons, the club captain does not want to say goodbye just yet.
"I have been at this club for so long and I love playing still," she said. "There is something in me, despite all of the injuries, just makes me not want to give up.
"You are just waiting for that thing in your head to switch off really. I don't know how I will feel once I become a Mum or how I will balance things. I just don't want to be too hasty in making a decision about something which is very dear to me.
"For now I just want to enjoy the news and see how I feel about everything. It's funny - in the past I have missed games with injuries and sat there upset, wishing I could be out there. Now I realise I have a whole new life ahead of me. If there is ever a reason not to be playing then this is probably the best one."
Read the full interview with Faye in the Official Matchday Programme for the Arsenal Ladies v Chelsea game at Emirates Stadium on Thursday, April 26.

I just wanted to say that one of my adventures did escape this black hole (if you search back to 2006, you can find its title mentioned in some of my posts) and will be published in Dungeon sometime in the next few weeks. Its my first published work for RPGs.
Way to go Shroomy! Congratulations! Tell us the name, tell us the name! Yay! What's it about? What levels?
I can't say much, but its called "The Oasis of the Golden Peacock" and is for 6th level characters. Its actually was in the Paizo slushpile (submitted around the end of August 2006) and was transferred to WoTC last fall. Chris Youngs contacted me in September, started writing it in October, and turned it on December 1st. Wow, waiting is hard and it changed quite a bit during the process....
I'm going to indulge in a bit of thread necromancy. I'm not sure if anyone who once participated in this thread still reads through it (or plays 4e, or is a DDI subscriber), but my adventure will finally be released for 4e on 8-19. It's been a long journey.
Gratz Shroomy! Keep up the good work!

Congrats Shroomy! Well done!
Wow. This thread brings back sweet sweet memories. Responses from James, Wes, Jeremy, Jason, and Mike were like hot crack smoke back in the good ole open submission days. I used to not sleep for weeks waiting to hear if any of the ridiculous things I submitted got accepted. It was like touching the face of the gods when something did get picked up. Ah, memories.
So much has happened in the industry since those heady Cainen days of Dungeony goodness. I feel old for the first time in my life re-reading this thread.
The skin sags, the claw-like bones protruding from the jaundiced flesh of my lichy fingers knock hollowly on the keyboard now. Ah, to be alive again. Well, at least my phylactery keeps me going now, despite Pett's continuous attempts on my life (living a stone's throw away from him has not been easy on me).
Good memories, this thread!

It was your own choice to lead a "sinister" live ;)
Ha! Its true. But when Wizards killed the mags (or at least took em away from the surest hands ever at the reins - Paizo) it was a BIG change. The creative outlet for my insane dreams led me to start Sinister - only because I didn't have a place to send my most warped ideas. I can't wait to get Sinister back on track now that I am off. I love having time to work on it again.
Still, I'll always miss ole Dungeon mag.
Yeah, I also severly miss the ol' dungeon days! Sinsiter is cool, and I can't wait to dive into RC! Its great your on track again, and I hope things go smoother now, for sinister.
Maybe I should send my submissions to Sinister now...muhahahahahaha!

This calls for a toast. "To Shroomy!" *raises flagon of ale*
That is so great! To see it up and out there, available for others to run through. Im really happy for you!
Now get to work on another one, hehehe. :D
Thanks! I can't wait to hear how the adventures goes for those who run it. I never got a chance to do it (I may do it as a one shot for the group I currently play with) and I only heard bits and pieces of what happened at the WotC playtest (apparently, the first encounter almost resulted in a TPK!).

Inquiring minds want to know if there is, indeed, a singularity in the submissions room. Perhaps Auntie Lisa's Story Hour could address the issue?
Also, please note that thread necromancy is not, in itself, an evil act.

We guarantee that the pictured item is an original Montblanc watch.
Montblanc, named after the highest European mountain and a leader in producing noble writing devices for many years, is about to reach an outstanding position among watch manufacturers. With increasing success.
When in 1997 the first Montblanc watches were introduced the traditional brand only earned disapprovel from the watch industry, and this trip into the foreign territory was accompanied by taunting comments. But success of the new watch brand, coming from a renowned, nearly one hundred years old company, soon amazed even sceptics. Because of the Geneva Watch Fair, further developments of the original design and additional modern and sportive stylistic elements find from year to year more recognition.

new to the site...just got my blue '02 wrx a couple of months ago, and overall very happy w/ it.
it had the titanium sti shift knob, and preferring the feel of leather and given the freezing cold in maine, i bought a leather stock knob from ebay.
i couldn't get the white plastic adaptor out of the shift boot, and it fell through. i'm not sure what's down there...should i be worried that it might get stuck somewhere and do any damage?
also, i'm looking for something to do with the sti knob. it's in great shape, and i would happily send it to a good home for whatever you want to pay. unless you can tell me how to rescue the white plastic adaptor, it wouldn't include that piece.

After months of getting back up and going. We are happy to announce we are bringing the L.R.B.H.O. kit for the MSA AR Mag adapter into production.
It is a 3 piece drop in kit that takes about 30 minutes or less to install. Made from stamped steel. This is a part of our new B.A.S.T.A.R.D. line of products we are launching in September. If you have not check us out on Facebook and you can keep up with the release news as well as give aways.
Sorry but you need to put some info up then on here, I don't deal with facebook or twitter and I'm sure there's others too.
I'd like to see what products you are / or going to offer
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Sorry guys with all that is going on I kinda missed out on the forums a bit. We were working hard to release a few new products for Christmas but are falling behind with our schedule. So that I can focus on production more I brought Cobra's Custom on as a dealer to help with all the online affairs as I have all my time devoted to manufacturing.
As far as products.... The Saiga adapter is in stock and shipping within 24hrs or it's free. The Galil adapter as well. We have a S12 handguard coming just after the turn of the year. And our BASTARD with LRBHO.... pending approval from the law.
If anyone has any questions or wants to place an order with MSA then please contact me, or my partner and office manager Racegal, and we will make sure your order is taken, or questions answered. You can PM me here, or we can be reached at Cobra's Custom, on saigafiles.com, where we have pictures posted of the new universal adapters in my converted Saiga.223. As soon as I can get some good video I'll be posting that as well. I haven't posted here in awhile so I'm sorry if the name Cobra's Custom is unfamiliar to some. We have been doing business on the saiga-12 forums for the past few years. We are just now expanding to other forums as well. Planning to establish ourselves as a vendor here eventually. I have sent an inquiry to the staff to ask about the details. We offer some good parts and services for AKs and Saigas, as well as just recently becoming the distributor for all MSA products. Looking forward to posting here.
Thank you,

Shannon welcome to gunco, I like to know if your company make Mag well for Saiga 12 ?
Hello Bluejack!
Not at this time, but it may not be too far in the future. We are looking to break into the S-12 market very soon with some nice new options! First will be a Galil style HG milled from billet aluminum and looks like this....

Hello Twiv,
Welcome to the great state of Wisconsin! I hope you enjoy your stay. I suggest in your free time that you try some fresh cheese curds from a local creamer and maybe some fried ones too. I'm sure that those from the area can let you know where to get the best curds.
Next, thank you for all the hard work you do. As a senior in high school who is passionately in love with viruses, Twiv never ceases to bring joy and an education regarding the world of viruses. It has also provided entertainment while sewing my prom dress and another dress. Twivers aren't just lovers of science but also creative!
On a final note, a question. As being a senior, I'll be applying for college and undergraduate positions at college labs. I was wondering if you fine men have any suggestions for the whole process? Should I inform these scientists that even though I have had no opportunity lab experience I have tried to become familar with the world of virology through Twiv and reading books such as the The Great Influenza?
Thank you, Angela

Dear Vincent Racaniello and TWIV host-ers with the most-ers,
Vincent: To ring your recollection bells: We met shortly in Dublin during the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Conference and since it was just before your panel interview of Wendy Barclay, my PhD supervisor, and Ron Fouchier, of ferret transmission fame, we discussed the H5N1 influenza virus controversy. At the time I promised to send you an email to request that you and the TWIV team discuss ways that scientists increase serendipitous encounters with new ideas.
Of course there are many ways to learn about new techniques or cellular pathways that might relate to ones research, including reading papers and attending conferences, but I am interested in the activities in between: The once-a-month kind of activities, where you get to interact with other people on your level who are abnormally excited by the nitty-gritty details of molecular biology/virology/epidemiology or immunology.
What drove me to write today is because I was trawling through the literature trying to find a journal article that would entice enough people to attend our voluntary journal club and hopefully stimulate an interesting discussion. We do alright for a department of about 35 Post Docs and PhD Students, we provide pizza and drinks and usually keep about ten participants entertained for an hour. Our Journal Club is run in the traditional way: There is a presenter, who reads an original research article thoroughly and uses powerpoint slides to present the figures as he or she explains them, we ask questions during the presentation and have a general discussion at the end, but there is a little voice inside me that says "this could be better". Therefore, I would like to ask you, the TWIV-hosts and your listeners to share your experiences of Journal Clubs or other brainstorming/ discussion/ mixers that you have tried and what you have found that makes the experience that little bit extra-special.
Thanks in advance for your input,
Final year PhD candidate, looking for a new research home
P.S. Please keep the podcasts coming, I'm totally addicted. I have compared TWIV to other's, such as Cell and the Naked Scientists, which are good, but your focus, linked with the breadth and depth of knowledge that your hosts bring to the table leads to the best story telling around.

The Daily Beast's Confused Obama Poll
CORRECTION: The Daily Beast poll did in fact compare Obama approval rating results from before and after the news of Osama bin Laden's death was announced. And the Daily Beast poll broke out those results separately. The premise of my post is therefore incorrect. I regret the error.
The Daily Beast is claiming [1] that the president received no Osama bin Laden-related bounce in its new poll.
Here's the Daily Beast's summary [emphasis added]:
So readers assume that like the Washington Post, which turned around a new poll [2] on Monday to gage public reaction to the bin Laden news, so too did the Daily Beast.
Not quite:
How much overall boost did President Obama get from the capture of Osama Bin Laden [3]? None, according to an exclusive Newsweek / Daily Beast poll encompassing 1,200 American adults, conducted in the two days immediately before the president's Sunday announcement [4] about the terrorist leader, and then the two days immediately after.
That doesn't make much sense. How could a poll partially conducted two days before the bin Laden announcement calculate how Americans felt about Obama in light of the news from Pakistan? (Time travel?)
Claiming that the president's post-bin Laden job approval rating has not changed, the Daily Beast relies on a poll in which half of the respondents were contacted before news of bin Laden's death was announced.
That seems quite odd.

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice on what to do with my slightly broken Ixus70. It's virtually new, but someone (not me!) got sand into the lens assembly and now it's seized up
Should I get it repaired, and any ideas on how much that will cost, plus where to get it done in Scotland, or should i replace it? If i get it repaired, will it be as reliable - I've heard that it sometimes just isnt' worth it. If I replace, what would you all reccommend?
Either way, I want to get the ball rolling as I feel like I've had something amputated - withdrawal!!!
Ideas, Please!

In an urban setting, your chances are low. Over all, getting overwhelmed is a distinct possibility. If that were to happen, rest assured, many of us would prove 'game to the bone' as the old dogmen used to say. It would seem like a waste but given enough prior notice you could wire the place to go boom if you lose.
Would you rather punch out with your better half or leave her to be captured by the pieces of human waste?
These type hit easy targets first. Consider the biological option.
Easy to find caches of tainted food strategically placed well outside of your secure area could possibly thin that 29 thugs down enough to increase your family's' chances of survival.

I read with interest Tribune editor Nancy Conway's column that touted The Tribune's growing success with online readership ("Keeping the record straight on readership," Tribune, March 31). I am glad to hear it.
There has always been interesting, intense competition for readership and revenue between The Tribune and Deseret News. The News, of course, enjoys a somewhat captive audience. Even so, with its unbalanced news and opinions, The Tribune leaves much potential for growth on the table.
Many years ago, when I was briefly on The Trib's sports staff in the early 1950s, we proudly displayed every morning at the top of the front page a greeting that The Salt Lake Tribune was "One of America's great newspapers." Where have those days gone?
I am still a subscriber, but a left-wing, liberal newspaper, as The Tribune has sadly become, makes no sense in our conservative market. I am not suggesting the paper move to the right, just to the middle, where every responsible newspaper should be.

"This was totally awesome. I made this for lunch, and my husband took it with him to work. He came home and said it was really good. He doesn't usually spontaneously give me a thumbs up on a recipe, but he did this one. I didn't have whole wheat pizza crust so I used focaccia. I also added fresh mushrooms and roasted red bell pepper. Umm. It was so good."

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!
My problem is that I can not click on links to different pages in the generated site. Relationship exists between pages of my website with CSS.When trying to navigate pages, the browser displays an error and he writes the following: web page not found, page not found for the web address: file :/ / / C :/ Users / user / Documents / Web / about.html Error code: ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND.
Thanks in advance for the help!
The links of your pages are pointing to local files (see: file :/ / / C :/ Users / user / Documents / Web /) You need to change the links to point to files on your server, assuming you are not using your website locally.
It's difficult to give advice w/o seen code or knowing the exact intended context of your project , BUT taking a wild guess, you are using ABSOLUTE links in your HREFS. ( it's been a while since I used Dreamweaver's WYSIWYG , but if I even think there is an option there for using relative and root relative paths)
Your easiest bet is to do a document-relative path.l let say you site is structured like :
a link IN the index page to anotherFile.htm would be formatted this wayhref="someFolder/anotherFile.htm"
a link IN anotherFile.htm to secondPage.htm would be formatted this wayhref="../secondPage.htm"
../ means UP one directory. note there is no protocol ( file://, http://) at the start of the href string
A diferent approach is to do site root relative paths by beginning the href string with a forward slash "/" href='/someFolder/anotherFile.htm'href='/secondPage.htm'
hope that helps
I would like to clarify some of the details my site.My site consists of the folder "web". This folder consists of the folowing files: basic.html (it mean index.html), about.html, contact.html.
Here is the lay-out of basic.html (it mean index.html), for example :
<!DOCTYPE html>

<title>Bubble Under - дайвинг-клуб на юго-западе Великобритании</title>
<meta charset="windows - 1251"/>
<link href="style1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

О нас

Свяжитесь с нами

Мы рады, что вы погрузились на наш классный сайт!

Круто, что вы заглянули и поделитесь с нами воздухом! Благодаря вашему классному умению ориентироваться под водой вы успешно нашли путь к стартовой
точке - в данном случае к нашей главной странице.

Could you explain to me precisely (seeing the code of the site): What should I do to correct the situation of my site (so you can click on links)
actually your code is right , and seems to work fine locally . I am guess it's the way you are trying to go to these files then that s causeing the issue, and not your code :
try this using a WEB BROWSER (Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, Chrome, etc) ... open basic.html. if all your other pages are coded the same way as the example you showed.. you should eb able to navigate from page to page just fine.
remember just because you have coded some HTML desnt mean you are on the net.. you are looking at these pages locally.
hope that clears things up a bit
Somebody! Help me, please! I still do not get to follow links. All code is right.Thanks in advance for any information!
How are you viewing these pages?
Are you typing the location into the address bar of a browser or are you using a preview function of some software such as Dreamweaver? (I saw Dreamweaver mentioned by Dresden above but I don't know where his information came from unless it was from a PM or something?)
Dreamweaver doesn't allow root relative links to be clicked when you preview them unless you set up a testing server.
If you can put the site online so that we can see it and if it still doesn't work then we could pinpoint the problem straight away.
Received Via PM:
I am viewing using browser, but I do not put in address bar. I am clicking by tag of a browser with name of a file simply.I did not put my site in the Internet. My site is still under development.
We'll need a little more information about what you are building this site with?
If as already mentioned above you are just using html and css then you should have no problems following links in your local pages assuming you followed the directions in previous posts about relative links etc.
The more information you can give us the easier it will be to lead us to an answer.
Linking to files is the most basic html exercise and is usually straight forward.
You will need to post some more details as we more or less have exhausted the possibilities of solving your problem based on the data we have received.
Linking to documents is the most simple task and all you need to do is point correctly to the file that you want to load.
e.g. Page 2
As long as page2.html resides in the same directory as the page that it is called from it can't fail to load.
If it doesn't load for you then there is some other problem or some other method you are invoking that we can't guess about. We need to know the exact steps you are taking to load these pages and what software you are using (if any) to make this happen.
As a test just open notepad and create 2 html pages as follows
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>

Page 1

Go to Page 2

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>

Page 2

Go to Page 1

Now use the windows file manager and double click one of those files. You should then be able to navigate between those pages as required.
I've used the three html files you sent me and placed them in a folder called web and they all worked straight away for me. I've attached them in a zip so that you can test locally and compare the structure with what you have set up.
There were two errors but they caused no problem for me and they are here:
<link href="style1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="UTF-8"/>
There should be no trailing slashes in html4 and you have an extra quote mark in the charset. They should both look like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<link href="style1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Anyway test the zip I have attached and see how you get on

Mikhail Grabovski is starting to get a little heat in Toronto. The other night against Winnipeg he benched for a good chunk of the game and people are starting to question what is wrong with Grabovski this season. Truth is, there is probably nothing wrong with Grabovski except for his line mate Jay McClement.
When one looks at Grabovski's stats this season you will actually see that his 5v5 Goals/60 is actually up this year to 0.946 goals per 60 minutes of play from 0.895 last year and 0.924 the year before so his 5v5 goal production is certainly there. It is his assist totals that are down dramatically. The problem is his most frequent line mates are Nikolai Kulemin, Jay McClement and Leo Komarov, none of which are dynamic offensive players. McClement has never scored more than 12 goals in any season in his career and Kulemen had a 30 goal season in 2010-11 but never more than 16 otherwise and has just 9 goals in his last 97 games and Komarov is a rookie not known for his offensive ability. You can't expect Grabovski, who probably isn't a dynamic playmaking center to start with, to rack up a lot of assists with a pair of third line players on his wing.
On top of that, Jay McClement is actually a pretty bad hockey player. When the Leafs signed McClement in the summer I questioned the signing because he had terrible numbers in Colorado the previous 2 seasons. In fact, over the past 2 seasons in Colorado and St. Louis he was 4th last in the league in 5v5 ZS Adjusted goals against per 20 minutes (sadly ahead of only Kessel, Bozak and Lupul). He also ranked 230th of 258 in terms of fenwick % over those 2 years. This season he is last on the Leafs in zone start adjusted fenwick % at a terrible 41.1%.
On top of McClement being pretty bad, the player McClement replaced on that line, Clarke MacArthur, is pretty good. MacArthur has the best fenwick % on the Leafs this season and in the 58:11 of 5v5 ice time he and Grabovski played together this year they had a corsi % of 57.1% while Graobovski has been at 41.7% when separated from MacArthur. Last season when Grabovski and MacArthur played together they were at 56.0% and when Grabovski was without MacArthur he was at 50.9%. In 2010-11 Grabovski's corsi% was 55.3% with MacArthur and 47.0% without.
In summary, there is nothing wrong with Grabovski. It is the coach that took a good player who had very good 'chemistry' with Grabovski off Grabovski's line replacing him with at best a mediocre 3rd liner to go with the other 3rd liner on his other wing. Maybe when Lupul comes back Carlyle will be forced to put a real top 6 winger on the Grabovski line and then people will stop asking "What is wrong with Grabovski?" but until then, blame Jay McClement (with a primary assist to Randy Carlyle).

On a more general point, uninformed commentators often refer to periods in the past when it was warmer, then claim that this somehow "proves" that contemporary changes are "normal". But there were countless warm periods in the past that resulted from quite different conditions than those prevailing today (see this link on the Medieval period, or this link on the "mid-Holocene" period). In some cases, these were due to a different orbital configuration, or different levels of greenhouse gases, or even different world geography (lower mountain ranges, ocean seaways altered, no polar ice sheets etc). What makes the recent changes stand out is that they are extremely rapid and global in extent. Another error commonly made is to pick one spot on earth where it may have been warm, and claim that this demonstrates that the earth as a whole was warm at that time. This is also incorrect. If it was warmer in southern Greenland when the Vikings arrived, this tells us nothing about conditions in the Pacific, or Eurasia or South America. To get a true picture of whether there was "global warming" at that time requires, not surprisingly, a set of data from many places around the globe (see this discussion on one of the popular "myths" regarding past climate history). Thus, Thompson's observation about the retreat of the Quelccaya ice cap would be interesting, but not that important, if it was the only data point we had. But it isn't — we observe similar things happening in virtually all mountainous regions of the world.

So i stumble across this skin a few days ago and just love it. Im still a newb to XBMC but learning to love it more and more. I have been having a problem with movie extrafanart. I keeps showing the fanart of Avatar for all my movies. I sometime see a quick flash of the acutal movie fanart but then it just switches back to Avatar. I tried reinstalling everything from scratch (delete All XBMC folders found on PC) and after loading Movies source the problem was back. Tvshows is fine.
here is a part of my log: http://pastebin.com/Cr8SxqbU
I have searched but cant find anything about this
