It's nice to finally have an alternative to CC, I've had two orders with PC-Canada thus far and they've both been handled great. Customer service has been beyond excellent, with prompt and courteous replies to both phone and email. They were even able to custom order some hard to find parts for me that were unavailable at my usual sources. Shipping has been quick, even when ordering back-ordered products. If their prices continue to remain this competitive, I can't see myself using the competitors that I've been stuck with for so long. -Cobrabytez21

The Albatross Handlebar
I believe the reason that these handlebars are mistaken for mustache bars on the Hillborne is because they are mounted unconventionally (or upside down), which gives them more of a similar look to the mustache bars. Why did I do this? Well, I really didn't want to ride in a position so upright that I felt like I was on more of a city-type bicycle. I wanted to use this as a long-distance bicycle, and while the bars aren't that much lower turned upside down, I do think it provides enough that I get some lean into the handlebars. I'm sure they would work just fine mounted as intended though. Of course, these feel nothing like a drop bar on a bicycle, so the rider should be prepared for a completely different feel. While I wouldn't recommend them for those looking for extreme aerodynamics, if you're looking for an alternative that places you in a manner to see the road from a more upright position, these could do the trick.
I should point out that if your bike requires a 26.0 handlebar, from what I've found, these bars come only in a 25.4 size, which will require the purchase of a shim to make up the size difference. I have these handlebars on two bikes (the Hillborne and the Surly) which both take 26.0 bars. On the Surly, the shim was needed to make the handlebars secure, however, the Hillborne was barely able to squeeze the bars in to the stem. I don't know if it's the difference in stem types, or if I just happened to get a handlebar that was a bit larger, but I was warned that it isn't safe to ride without the shim because of the size difference, so I pass along the same to you.
One potential hazard of note is the length of the side portion of the bars. I have found that mounting these bars upside down has created a bit of a problem with "thigh strike." If I am trying to make a turn and the leg in the direction I am turning is in the up position, there is often an issue with the bar hitting my thigh making it difficult (sometimes impossible) to complete tight turns. It's particularly bothersome on this bike because it has bar end shifters and I often unintentionally move the shifters while turning. Perhaps this would be less of an issue for riders who 1) have bigger bikes, and 2) have less substantial thighs, but I suspect regardless of these two possibilities there could be an issue for other riders as well. We did remove a good portion of the end of the handlebar to help with this problem, but in reality I still need to take another inch to inch and a half off to avoid the problem completely. I don't really want to remove the handlebar tape again, so it has stopped me for the time being from doing what needs to be done. However, it is a bit unnerving when trying to take a tight turn, so I find I get off of the bike and remount after the turn to avoid any potential for a crash.
The albatross handlebars work well for both city riding and longer distances. I haven't done a tour with these handlebars, but for me I am relieved to have a position that allows my hands to be comfortable and change positions without needing the drop bars. I enjoy the positioning so much that I opted to do the same for the Surly Pacer. I haven't regretted the switch, so I do think it's possible for these handlebars to work on a variety of bikes since the Pacer has a bit more of a compact feel than the Hillborne. I will note that I don't have the same problem with "thigh strike" on the Pacer, however, we did need to remove a portion of the ends on this bike as well. It could also be that the shifters are a part of the brake levers on this bike, or that it just has a different geometry.
Ultimately, these handlebars work for me, but hopefully this is beneficial to anyone else looking for a switch. I don't dislike drop bars, but personally I found it difficult to utilize each of the places for my hands because of the sizing on the Hillborne. For me, it was about finding comfort over long distances, and these albatross bars seem to have done the trick.

If I am trying to make a turn and the leg in the direction I am turning is in the up position, there is often an issue with the bar hitting my thigh […].
I had the same problem on a Linus "Gaston" and on my Guv'nor (both have inverted "Townie" aka "North Road" handlebars) but after a while some kind of unconscious coordination occurs where I keep my left knee down if I turn left and my right knee down if I turn right when I need to initiate a relatively sharp turn.Why do they call it an "Albatross" bar? I'm not sure it really looks like a fish? I have always wondered.
ReplyDeleteBIG OOPS! So sorry to Jon... I accidentally hit "delete comment" instead of publish... but, here's what Jon added:
I have the same bars, mounted the same way, on my titanium all-rounder. I have found them to work great for everything from paved centuries to epic (70 mile) off-road rides.
They look great on your bikes. I find that another good reason to mount them inverted: the looks just appeal to me.I have had Albatross bars on a few of my bikes, beginning about 10 years ago. They've become my all-time favorites. I don't have any problem with thigh strike, but my bikes are considerably larger than yours and my bars have always been mounted right side up. I think that the upright mounting brings them out of the strike zone, but the bar end shifters may also contribute.
An alternative bar that you might consider is the Surly Open Bar, which comes with or without a rise. I recently put an Open Bar with a rise on my Surly Cross-Check, and I may actually like it better than the Albatross. Coupled with Ergon grips, it's great.
For what it's worth, a couple of years ago I did an Olympic distance triathlon road race on an Albatross equipped bike. I didn't win, but I didn't come in last, either.Big DD - Thank you for the info about the handlebars (both the Open Bar and your experience with the albatross bar). I think it's definitely beneficial to hear from others who have utilized them on much longer distances.
While I really do need to leave the bikes alone, I am tempted to look into the Open Bar. :O)Was there any fiddling to get the brake levers to work? Most of what i read for the Albatross bars, and the Soma Oxford bars suggest that you must use MTB style levers - but obviously you're not.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThere wasn't any special adjustments to get these brakes to work. They were simply loosened as much as possible and they went on without issue. You might have a problem if you wanted to get all the way around the bend of the bar, but other than that it's worked well and went on easily.
DeleteYeah, but this may be why ppl had mistaken them for Moustache bars. Also, the road levers should, in theory, run loose on the 7/8" diameter Alba bars. It doesn't surprise me that you needed to dial them out to clear the curves, but you must've had to either shim them or tighten the F out of them to keep 'em tight...
DeleteI'm sure they were tightened extremely well (the house mechanic is known for over-tightening everything), but I do know they weren't shimmed, so that is odd. They definitely work though and don't move around.
Word verification is on, but I've turned off the moderation portion in an attempt to make it easier for you to know that your comment has indeed made it through. We'll see how this goes, but I'm hopeful that this will help out and I'll try my best to weed through and remove spammers comments. Additionally, I recommend copying comments before hitting publish as the "blogger comment eater" seems to continue his snacking.

A pleasant after meal smoke. Stuffed into any FF cig tube it tastes just like a Marlboro Silver has been lightly dipped into a creamy cup of hot chocolate. This is definitely not an all day smoker. Though not very strong..the hot cocoa aroma tastes and smells natural. This blend is best reserved for desert smokes. I bought the 3.5oz (stay fresh yogurt style tub) and will be perfectly happy with the 6 or 7 packs of smokes I normally yeild from these. You can tone this out by blending it with Windsail, Two Timer and Ramback. As with all D&R blends it burns a bit hot in pipes. Best to reserve a desert Cob if you only smoke pipes. 3 stars-Recommended.

Although I haven't tried the Silver, I did try the Platinum. Very good blends offered by D&R. I do notice a slight harshness/ashy quality near the bottom of the bowl. Otherwise smooth w/ cocoa-like room note. I just wanted to point out that D&R Rowland is for pipe use only. This is a ribbon cut mixture instead of the normal pipe cut which is interchangable w/ RYO. You could shred the blend and make it easier for packing cigarette/rolling papers. Pipe will give proper smoke and smoother experience.

Rob W:
Regarding converting cassette audio into mp3s or cd tracks: There are a lot of ways... You can buy a stand-alone cd burner, that you use without a computer, and simply connect the cassette player to it and dub. You can buy a Pro Tools mbox or mbox mini and hook it up with your computer - that's kind of the more serious and precise way to do it. That gives you both the hardware you need to load audio from any source into your computer, and the software to edit it and convert to WAV files for cds or mp3 files. That's what I do but I do Pro Tools production for a living. Also I believe someone is now marketing a cassette player with USB connector to the computer for loading cassette tracks into your computer. One problem you have no matter what is slicing up the audio into individual tracks. Some programs exist to attempt to do that for you automatically, but the only really surefire and precise way to do that is manually, with a program like Pro Tools or other audio editing programs, and that takes time no matter what. | |
Tue. 3/25/08 10:48am

Correction on my cassette-to-mp3/cd comment: I should have said "stand-alone cd RECORDER" rather than "burner." For instance the Sony RCD-W500C is a widely available consumer model, though I can' t vouch for it. | |

Love the Lee Morgan. I saw a picture of him from Francis Wolfe at Blue Note and Lee had a bandana. Does that make him a hippie? | |

Yes. A total hippie. Irwin, ITA. we should have 179 minutes of Lee Morgan next time. | |
Tue. 3/25/08 11:04am
i thought you'd have hannah montana's work on a usb drive connected to your key chain for fast listening at any given moment. i am now convinced you are a hippie. i'm calling crazy eyes killah, he wants his jersey back. | |

Phrasing a question.
I asked, "What is your favorite jam or jelly?" expecting people to answer with a flavor. Some people are answering with just "jam" or "jelly". I thought I needed to put a comma after "favorite" to get those answers. Which way is correct to get flavors as answers?

Housing Wire ran a very interesting article this week reporting that due to steep reductions in the number of foreclosed properties they manage (from 162,489 properties at the start of 2011 to 109,266 as of June 30, 2012) administration of the REO program will be brought in-house. Full article here.
Of primary importance is a closing statement the company made: "We will continue to engage local real estate professionals to market our properties," Fannie Mae said. "Fannie Mae's goal is to help neighborhoods recover by selling as many properties as possible to owner occupants at competitive prices."

Longtime staffer Jim McConnell is trying to the impossible, pick the best Valley team in football history. A week ago he named the best teams ever, and now he's in search of a champion with his own mythical playoffs.
By Jim McConnell
Let the games begin.
Our mythical high school football playoffs produced a couple major surprises in round one. Here's the rundown, straight from the Then & Now computers – which look suspiciously like a dartboard and a Ouija board.
1970 Bishop Amat-1991 Baldwin Park – The upstart Braves stay with the Pat Haden-John McKay Jr.-led Lancers for a half, Amat leading 21-14 at intermission. However, Haden passes for three touchdowns in the second half and the Amat defense finds a way to stop the Baldwin Park passing game.
Final score: Amat 45,
Baldwin Park 14
1996 HH-Wilson-1926 Covina – Using the quick kick out of the Single Wing formation, the Colts' Gus Shaver averages over 50 yards a punt on five punts, keeping Wilson in poor field position the entire first half. Neither team scores in the first 24 minutes. Covina finally breaks the scoreless spell on a sensational 65-yard punt return for a touchdown by Shaver. From there, Wilson finally gets its high-powered running game going, two long drives culminating in touchdowns.
Final score: Wilson 13, Covina 6
1942 Bonita-2000 South Hills – Undersized Bonita struggles with South Hills, and actually trails 14-7 late in the first half. After that, it's the Glenn Davis show. Davis returns a kickoff 95 yards to tie the game at 14 going into halftime. He then returns the second-half kickoff 97 yards for another TD. Later in the third quarter, he has a 60-yard return of a pass interception. He caps his night with a 54-yard run from scrimmage, setting up what proves to be the winning TD.
Final score: Bonita 32,
South Hills 24
1955 San Marino-2002 La Habra – An undersized San Marino team provides the surprise of the opening round. Running its pro-set offense to perfection and using a bend-but-don't break defense, Coach Vic Schwenk's Titans upend La Habra. San Marino takes a 14-0 lead after one quarter and the Highlanders can't catch up, despite two long scoring drives in the second half.
Final score: San Marino 28,
La Habra 14
1984 Claremont-1964 Whittier – The Cardinals stay with the Wolfpack for a half. The game is tied 14-all at halftime. Two plays by the 'Pack's Travis Watkins turn the tide in the third quarter. He returns the kickoff starting the half 75 yards, setting up a short TD drive. Later, he outjumps three Whittier defenders in the end zone to haul in a 30-yard pass. Whittier's George Buehler has a huge game, sacking Claremont quarterback Dan
McGwire three times, recovering a fumble and catching a TD pass. But it's not enough for Whittier, as Wolfpack kicker Steve Bayer answers with three field goals, including a 45-yarder.
Final score: Claremont 37, Whittier 20
1986 Muir-1982 Los Altos – In one of the most entertaining games of the opening round, quarterback Vince Phillips rallies the Mustangs. Los Altos, using the pitch-and-catch combo of Mike Smith and Matt Stark, takes a quick 14-0 lead and leads 17-7 at halftime. Phillips then guides the Mustangs on two impressive scoring drives in the second half, and the Muir defense manages to shut down the Conquerors' passing game. Ricky Ervins scores the game-winner with less than a minute to play, and Muir comes away with a hard-fought victory.
Final score: Muir 27,
Los Altos 20
1984 Diamond Bar-1985 Charter Oak – Easily the wildest game of the first round. The Brahmas and Chargers go round and round, trading scores all night. Charter Oak winds up outgaining Diamond Bar. However, special teams make the difference. The Brahmas get second-half touchdowns on a kickoff return, a punt return and an interception return and manage to outlast the Chargers.
Final score: Diamond Bar 48, Charter Oak 39
2000 Los Altos-1995 Diamond Bar – In a battle of defenses, Los Altos gets the game-winner late in the fourth quarter when Shaun Cody forces a fumble, recovers it and dashes 50 yards for a touchdown. Cody finishes with 10 unassisted tackles, three QB sacks and two fumble recoveries.
Final score: Los Altos 14, Diamond Bar 7
1992 Bishop Amat versus 1984 Claremont
1939 Alhambra versus 1970 Bishop Amat
1951 Pomona versus 1996 Wilson
1965 West Covina versus 1955 San Marino
1966 El Rancho versus 1984 Diamond Bar
1969 Blair versus 1942 Bonita
1971 Bishop Amat versus 2000 Los Altos
1972 St. Paul versus 1986 Muir
NEXT WEEK: Second-round results and semifinal pairings for our mythical "Best in the Valley" playoffs.

Buying new skis?
(7 Posts)If you're on the mailing lists for Xscape and Ellis Brigham you'll notice of the test days. They do tend to be early in the season though, Braehead was a few weeks ago.
Skis should vary in length and width depending what you want to do with them - piste, powder, touring etc. E.g. my mountaineering/touring skis are 16cm longer than my downhills and relatively narrow under foot for pushing uphill. Not as easy to turn on piste though.
I have just come back from 2 glorious days in Val d'Isere. The snow is amazing and I had a pair of rental skis and they were great in the powder so yes, the skis you have do make a huge difference. Last year I was given a pair of twin tips and simply didn't get on with them. Eventually I gave in and went back to the shop thinking I couldn't ski but it was the equipment (well that's what they told me)....I would recommend that you speak to the owner/manager of the shop and say you would like to try before you buy and ask them what the recommend.
We're driving, so I can bring skis back with me no problem.
I think hiring some out there and seeing what I think to them is a good idea. I'm sure if I like them they'd be willing to sell them to me even if they're not officially for sale as it'll be end of March when I'm there. <excited>
End of last season (having had huge old carvers for about 15 years) I tried some hire skis, with a view to buying them. Wow - what a difference. Skiing (in heavy slushy stuff) was FUN! Can't wait to ski on them again.
I bought the ex hire skis for about 150...probably 500 new.
Whether you want to buy / rent must depend on your circumstances...add on costs to flights etc.
Do you find that better skis make a difference to your skiing?
I had an ex hire rather ancient pair then upgraded to new ones from the ski show a few years back. Mine are getting on in years and I now think rental ones are much better (or perhaps I'm going to better resorts). When I first got my skis I could still book cheap flights and not be charged extra for the skis but not now. I'm not even sure I'll take my own this winter.
I think sometimes there are special ski promotions in resorts where you can try out skis before you buy, I have heard of this before.
I've skied for the last 8 years on an ex hire pair of Salomon skis. The skis are ok but I oly got them as I liked the boots so much. I asked the hire shop at the end of the week if I could buy the boots and he said I had to have the skis as well. Cost me 80euros for the lot!
A small part of me thinks maybe I could ski better if I had better skis??? I think mine are beginner/intermediate skis. I ski reds no problem now and some blacks.
I saw some Salomon lava skis last year which look very pretty. I've read reviews which are all glowing. They're an intermediate/advanced ski.
When you buy new skis do you just buy them and hope you get on with them? Or will places like Xscape let me borrow skis from their shops to try out on their slope? Or do I wait till I'm on holiday, can you try skis with a view to buying in resort?

Achievement Guide and Roadmap
-Estimated achievement difficulty: 3/10 -Offline: 48 (1000) -Online: 0 -Approximate amount of time to 1000: 14-17 Hours -Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 (missions can be replayed) -Number of missable achievements: 0 -Do cheat codes disable achievements? No cheats -Does difficulty affect achievements? No -Glitchy achievements: None -Unobtainable achievements: None -Extra equipment needed? None, though a 2nd controller will help immensely. Introduction: Even though this game is a Sims game, there is only very basic customization. There is no difficulty setting for the story, though you can set it to Easy AI in quickplay or local. You will be playing through the entire story and trying to obtain gold medal in every mission. They can be replayed right away if you don't get gold, or later on in mission select. For the most part the game is eay, though at times it can be frustrating with dogfights and races. The game will seem cheap at times, and you will feel robbed of a win. This holds true in both modes. Sometimes, you will rely on pure luck to win certain things. As a base, you will get the majority of achievements in the story, and play quickplay or local to grind out the rest. Step 1: Story Story mode seems like it's going to be quick at first, but the missions keep dragging on. You cannot skip the talking entirely, just can speed through it. Cut scenes cannot be skipped, so replaying those missions can feel tedious. You should attempt all gold medals, retrying the levels right away. You can choose not to of course, and skip along through the story and replay them later. There seems to be no real way to fail a mission, you are just awarded better for being in first. Get yourself familiar with the Hanger, and create 5 planes (without mixing the parts around). After beating the story, you should replay levels you may have missed gold on. Also during story you unlock perks and upgrades. You should be going to the hanger whenever you unlock these to make getting gold medals easier. Step 2: Replay Missions for Gold If you didn't choose to retry every mission, or accidently carried on, you must replay them in mission select. To do this, choose story mode from the main menu and go to the SkyForce Barracks icon on the planet. Now choose Flight Log and you can scroll through and pick any level to replay. There are a total of 43 missions you need to have gold medals on. Step 3: Local and Quickplay You will probably be missing quite a few "takedown" related achievements by the end of the game. A second controller will help grind these achievements out. Go to Multiplayer and Local, press on your second controller and pick your wanted options. Explore the levels for the various powerups you need and equip your perks as needed for the specific takedown achievements you are going for. You should be able to average around 50 or so kills in a 20 minute period (this does depend on what powerup you are getting). If you don't have a 2nd controller, go to quickplay and face easy bots (or just 1 bot). Either way, set your options to double damage where possible. Make sure before you use your specific powerup it will kill them in one hit. You may have to shoot your enemy into the red for this to happen, depending on the powerup and on if you have a perk for it. Conclusion This game is fairly easy, but can be frustrating trying to get gold medals on some missions. It also seems a bit too long for what it is, and all the talking gets old very fast. You will almost feel like you're playing a much as reading (even skipping most of it). Overall plan to spend a few somewhat agonizing days completing this game. Some will enjoy it, others will wish they hadn't stuck it in their console. Last edited by Tyger7; 01-19-2011 at 08:37 AM. |
Sparrow 10
Complete the tutorial in story mode When you start the game, the first thing you will do is the tutorial. All you have to do is finish it. Hawk 20 Outfit a plane with all level 2 parts in story mode After you complete the "Rock The Ragnarok" mission, you should get parts that are level 2. Go to your hanger from the main menu, or by pressing while viewing the planet. Go to Edit and to the Upgrade section. Just choose the first icon titled "All". Move to the box with the two stars and select the plane. After saving and exiting, you should get the achievement. Condor 30 Outfit a plane with all level 3 parts in story mode After you complete the "All Rhodes Lead To Morcubus" mission, you should get parts that are level 3. Go to your hanger from the main menu, or by pressing while viewing the planet. Go to Edit and to the Upgrade section. Just choose the first icon titled "All". Move to the box with the three stars and select the plane. After saving and exiting, you should get the achievement. Airman 5 Complete 25% of all story missions See "Staff Sergeant" achievement description. Airman First Class 10 Complete 50% of all story missions See "Staff Sergeant" achievement description. Senior Airman 15 Complete 75% of all story missions See "Staff Sergeant" achievement description. Staff Sergeant 20 Complete 100% of all story missions There are a total of 43 story missions. You can view how many you are at by going to the SkyForce Barracks in story mode (it's an icon on the planet). Once there, press to pull up your progress. The story mode seems like it will go fast, but it actually has a lot of text to skip through. You cannot skip cut-scenes nor the talking segments, but can only speed it up by pressing until it ends. There are acheivements for getting all gold medals, so view "General of the SkyHeroes" achievement description for more info.

General Of The SkyHeroes 100
Earn a gold medal in 100% of all story missions Each mission has about the same objectives for a gold medal. Either by getting the most points in a dogfight, or being first in a race. Some missions are based on time. The scores are individual, so even if your team wins you won't get the gold medal. You must be the one in first. The problem here is your team can steal your kills, take weapons you are about to get, and generally make things worse for you. Since there are a total of 43 missions, you must obtain 43 gold medals. You can check your progress by going to the SkyForce Barracks within the story mode in planet view. For the most part, they are really easy to get gold medals. You can just keep replaying the same mission if you don't get gold. If you choose, you can just skip ahead and try for gold later, by going to the said SkyForce Barracks. Choose mission log and you can scroll through the pages and see what medals you currently have. The "Accomplishments" section will tell you how many of each medal you have. Get here by pressing while in the Flight Log. Customizer 25 Unlock all customization parts in story mode Getting a gold medal on all of your missions will gain you this achievement. You don't technically have to get gold on all of them in order to unlock this, as some missions don't give you parts. These are all story related. You can check your progress by accessing the SkyForce Barracks in story mode (an icon on the world map). Hit the and you will see the stats. There are 3 categories you must reach 100% on which equals a total of 201 parts: Style Parts: 30 Upgrade Parts: 156 Tuning Parts: 15 It seems like a lot, but you get several parts when completing the missions and getting gold medals. If You Build It, You Can Play It 10 Assemble 5 planes in story mode where all parts are from the same aircraft type From the main menu, go to your Hanger. Choose to Create New Plane. Now choose Upgrade and All. Choose a plane, then save and exit. Do this 4 more times to get the achievement, remembering to choose a completely different plane each time. Now go into story mode, and the achievement will unlock. You could also do this within the story mode hanger. Big Trouble In Little City 10 Complete story mission 'Death From Above' See "I AM Big, The Planes Got Small" achievement description. Ragnarok - OFFLINE 15 Complete story mission 'Rock The Ragnarok' See "I AM Big, The Planes Got Small" achievement description. Collossi Or Colossuses? 20 Complete story mission 'All Rhodes Lead To Morcubus' See "I AM Big, The Planes Got Small" achievement description. Shaken AND Stirred 25 Complete story mission 'All Your Base...' See "I AM Big, The Planes Got Small" achievement description. I AM Big, The Planes Got Small 30 Complete story mission 'Mega Shark VS...YOU!' There are a string of missions within the Morcucorp icon on the world in story mode. These missions are all story related and cannot be missed. They are a type of boss battle normally, and deal with the main enemies of the campaign. They will be available as you progress through the game. Last edited by Tyger7; 01-19-2011 at 08:35 AM. |
Speedy Takedowns 15
Takedown 3 players in 10 seconds or less This will likely come to you without much effort. You can get it in a dogfight if 3 enemies are around, or even better while in a race. If you're behind the AI and they are all close by, you can take focus on each until they are in the red, then just dispose of them one after another. It will be a lot easier for you to do after gaining parts for tuning. Go into your hanger and make sure you pick the wrench icon. You can have 3 perks total. You may have to wait to use the ones below, but these are the best ones for destroying other planes:
Note: This can be boosted online, if you're having a hard time. Please visit the "Achievement Trading Thread". 0wn3d 15 Score 5 takedowns in a row without getting taken down yourself You can get this through story mode quite easily. Use the parts listed in the "Speedy Takedowns" achievement description if need be. Alternate Method: Plug in a second controller and to go to Multiplayer. Use local and press on your second controller. Now pick anything you want, and just keep killing your second controller until you get your 5 takedowns. Takedown Master 15 Score at least 12 takedowns in a single dogfight Story Method: You may get this in story with a little luck, though might be tough with the time limit they give you. If you're playing on the Smuggler's Bay level, you'll see tentacles in water. Go to them and fight planes there. The tentacles will weaken the AI severely, and you just have to finish them off. Quickplay Method: There's also the option of playing against AI bots in a dogfight free-for-all match. Do this in quickplay. Set the time or score high, and set AI difficulty to easy. Make Machine Gun and Missiles X2 Damage. You should have no trouble getting the achievement at all this way, especially if you use the right perks (see "Speedy Takedowns" achievement description). Alternate Method: Plug in a second controller and to go to Multiplayer. Use local and press on your second controller. Now pick anything you want, and just keep killing your second controller until you have at least 12 kills. You Ain't Got Nothin' On Me 15 Complete a race or dogfight in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place without getting taken down once You might get this while casually playing through the game. The training missions are extremely easy to get this in. If you miss it, you can go back and replay them when you have perks and more advanced planes. Alternate Method: Second controller in local play. Just complete a race or dogfight without letting yourself be destroyed. Resilient 15 Go from being below 10% health to 100% health without getting taken down To get below 10% health, you need to be down in the red (almost no health). You then need to shoot planes to collect life until you're back at 100%. This will probably come naturally, or you can just use a second controller to get this easier in a local game. I Got ALL The Weapons I Need 20 All at once, have active 'Shield', 'Twin Options', and 'F-Beam' powerups This is actually somewhat of a tough achievement, but follow the settings below to make it easy. Mode: Quickplay Type: Free-For-All Race AI Count: 0 Plane: Level 3 Perks: Poly-Magnet, Fusion Generator, and Steel Capacitor Map: Metropolis Prime, Race 2 How To Grab the Shield Powerup on the top right of the first set of powerups. Continue on and you'll see the Twin Options on the left, in the middle path. Right before grabbing it, activate your shields. Now go straight shooting the mine in front of the F-Beam. Trigger your Twin Options and fire the F-Beam and the achievement will unlock. Note: It is not required to have those perks, but it makes it a lot easier. You also have to have unlocked the mission in story mode first. You ARE Talented 20 Play at least 1 mission with every perk There are a total of 15 perks and they must be gained while playing through story mode. After you have unlocked the last of them, you may get this achievement. While in the hanger, you should already have at least 5 planes (because of the achievement associated with doing so). Edit the first plane putting on perks 1,2,3. Now edit the 2nd plane with perks, 4,5,6. The 3rd, with 7,8,9. The 4th with 10,11,12. And finally, 5th with 13,14,15. Name the planes accordingly if you want to keep track. Now go to story mode and to the Barracks. Replay any mission that isn't a training mission. Training missions will not count for this achievement. Pick a short mission (maybe Big Wargame Hunter) and just play that with each plane. It should take you roughly 15 minutes. You do not have to win, or even be active. Just let the timer run out. Lemming Award 10 Crash your plane You will most likely get this while playing through story mode. Run into mines that are already in the environment or other objects that can be destroyed. Also, you can get this by flying out of bounds until you die, or even by something like the giant tentacles in one of the levels that are in the water.

I'm Fine, But Dizzy 15
Spend 20 minutes power turning Power turning is when you are holding the while navigating with the . You should see the physical effect around your plane. You will be doing this a lot while trying to navigate around in dogfights as well as a little bit in races. If you do not have this by the time you complete the game, go into quickplay mode and set it so there are no bots. Set the timer for 20 minutes and turn in a circle until the achievement unlocks. I Feel The Need For Speed! 15 Spend 10 minutes at super boost speed The super boost speed is when you see the green or red colored squares in the game (they are fairly transparent). Go through them to gain the boost. You can also pick up a powerup that also gives you this boost. There is a perk you will obtain that makes this boost last longer. You should get this through normally play of the story game. If not, replay races without bots in quickplay mode. It's My First - Race 20 Earn a 1st place finish in a race You will get this while going for all gold medals. It's My First - Dogfight 20 Earn a 1st place finish in a dogfight You will get this while going for all gold medals. Stunt(ed) Growth 15 Perform a total of 500 air stunts To perform a stunt, press any direction with the . You should get this through normal playthrough of the story mode. If not, you will have a lot of grinding to do with the takedown achievements, so wait until after those before doing this on it's own. Dodgy 15 Dodge a total of 500 missiles This will be obtained through normal progression of the story. The game alerts you when missiles are targeted on you (a red triangle with beeping). Go ahead and perform stunts or turn tightly to avoid them. If you don't have this by the end of the story, set up a quickplay with 8 bots (possibly on hard). You should avoid a good amount of missiles without trying. Property Damage 15 Destroy a total of 1000 breakables There are a lot of breakables on the levels, and you will be shooting most of them on accident while attacking enemy planes. You should get this through normal progression of the story without actively thinking about it. If not, then pick a level with a lot of them and make laps shooting them, as they will respawn. Machine Gunner 15 Earn 50 takedowns using the 'Machine Gun' main weapon This is your main weapon associated with . You will be using it a lot and will acquire these kills very fast in story mission. The perk associated with this weapon is called Impulse Driver, which increases the damage. Missile Man 15 Earn 50 takedowns using the 'Missile' main weapon The Missiles are your other main weapon, associated with the . They will replenish on their own. Having the Quickloader perk will give you a rapid reload. You should get this very quickly while going through story. These are not available in the race game types.

Multi-Missile Master 15
Earn 50 takedowns using the 'Multi-Missile' powerup See "Mines Master" achievement description. F-Beam Master 15 Earn 50 takedowns using the 'F-Beam' powerup See "Mines Master" achievement description. Twin Options Master 15 Earn 50 takedowns using the 'Twin Options' powerup See "Mines Master" achievement description. Orbital Strike Master 15 Earn 50 takedowns using the 'Orbital Strike' powerup See "Mines Master" achievement description. Shotgun Master 15 Earn 50 takedowns using the 'Shotgun' powerup See "Mines Master" achievement description. Supernova Master 15 Earn 50 takedowns using the 'Supernova' powerup See "Mines Master" achievement description. Mines Master 15 Earn 50 takedowns using the 'Mines' powerup The takedown achievements will most likely not be obtained while in story mode. You will have to play afterwards in quickplay against bots or even better, a second controller. Put as much time needed and pretty much any map. If you find there are more powerups in specific levels, do those. You can choose to mix it up for the most part, killing with whatever powerup you happen to stumble by, or you may plan ahead going for a specific couple and have your perks on to help. You can only have one powerup at a time and in most cases must shoot your enemy with machine guns first. The powerups must get the killshot to count. There are 7 powerups that have the takedown achievements associated with them. Multi-Missile: Icon is 3 missiles. It will fire 3 missiles at once. You will want to keep your reticule on the plane you're attacking. It's a good idea to weaken the plane with machine guns first. Use the Kinetic Booster perk for this to increase damage. There are a lot of these powerups on every level. You can also set an option in quickplay or local to have X2 Damage on missiles. F-Beam: Icon is a green beam. It shoots a steady beam that fires constantly until it runs out. Target an enemy and it does a lot of damage as long as you can hold the beam on them. Use the Time Dilator perk to make the powerup last longer. These are fairly common on most levels. Twin Options: Icon looks like a pistol. It will give you machine guns on your plane that deal more damage and fire at a higher rate. This is possibly the best powerup for damage output. Use the Summon-Bot to make the powerup last longer. Impulse Driver might help as well, as it gives you higher damage with the machine gun. Also, while in quickplay or local, you can choose to have machine gun X2 Damage. This powerup is very common on most levels. Orbital Strike: The icon for this powerup is a sattelite. Beams of pink energy will shoot down from the sky, dealing severe damage to anything passing through it. Use the Geo-Transmitter to increase it's damage. It somewhat rare on most levels, usually having one or two on the map. They usually have mines by them. Shotgun: The icon is a shotgun. Make sure you're close enough and have the extra bright reticle before firing. Can hit multiple enemies. Use the Shock Conductor perk for higher damage. This is very common on most levels. Supernova: The icon is what appears to be a blue explosion. It is an area of effect powerup that expands out in a sphere around your plane. It does extreme damage but sometimes does not hit your target at all if at the wrong angle or too close. The perk that helps with this powerup is the Mega-Collider which increases the damage. This is somewhat rare on most levels, having only 1 or 2 on the map. Mines: The icon is a spiked ball. This powerup lays a bunch of mines in behind you. The perk to use with this is Thermal Amp to deal more damage. Planes will normally die in one hit with this. This powerup is fairly common on most maps. Explosive Device Master 15 Earn 25 takedowns from damage caused by destroying explosive breakables This seems to be one of the more annoying achievements in the game. It's possible to get in story mode if you're lucky. If not, go into local play with a second controller. Any map works, but the best one is Imperial Palace. In the sky, with no obstacles, is two floating turrets and two mines. Shoot your second controller deep into red, and have it fly in the middle of those breakables. Now just fire away at the mines and it should kill your target. They respawn fairly fast, so you can get this done with a little effort. If no second controller, you will find this to be a bit more difficult. There will be no sure way to get this besides playing a lot. Supernova Defense Master 15 Destroy 50 locked-on missiles using the 'Supernova' powerup The SuperNova powerup is the blue icon that looks sort of like an explosion. This power seems to be more of a rare powerup, so you will most likely have to load up a local game with a second controller. The perk associated with this powerup is called Mega-Collider. You can choose any level and find where the powerup spawns. It will respawn, so pick a map with two of them. The map "Testing Grounds" has two, one below the ship and another inside the ship. Cycle getting them. Have your second controller fire two missiles at you, and use the SuperNova before they hit you. The achievement will unlock in-game, so you can quit when you get it. If you don't have a second controller, you will have to play against 8 bots to ensure you are having missiles shot at you. Last edited by Tyger7; 01-19-2011 at 08:32 AM. |

Very helpful guide. Thanks for posting!
One thing I found more helpful over on the PS3Trophies guide by Cauchy was his tip for the "Explosive Device Master" achievement. Basically, play on local dogfight with a 2nd controller but use the map Jack Frost Skyport. There is a building in that map that has an exploding breakable in two separate corners. Get P2 into the red and then fly them into one of these corner. They essentially stay in place because of the corner. This gives you time to pick up the controller for P1, go to the same building and shoot the mine by P2. I found this easier than trying to line up P2 to fly by mines and then get to P1 controller in time to shoot the mines. |

Thanks again, Tyger.
While I was going for "You ARE Talented", I managed to get "Stunt(ed) Growth" at the same time, just by holding down RS to the left and leaving the room. I noticed I had it unlocked after the 3rd game, since I rarely did any stunts during the story. Also, its worth mentioning that some of the races (towards the beginning) are pretty much impossible. No matter what I did, there'd always be 1 person that would take 1st place, no matter how many times I'd shoot him down. I just replayed those later, with a 3-star plane and added perks, and I won them on the first try. So what I'm saying is, don't be afraid to replay missions, since you get more powerful towards the end. wtrswoopes' method above worked well for me, but I also worked on "Supernova Defense Master" at the same time, since that power up was in that warehouse, and the blast did enough damage to hurt my 2nd controller character so he'd die from the explosive object, without me having to weaken him. He had a 1-star armor, and I didn't use the Supernova add-on to my ship.

As it turned out, this didn't work. I had to get about 500+ kills. The first time I did it I had no troubles though... Strange

You CAN fail a mission. I was placed 4th and had to do the mission again. Still trying to beat the mission to move on in the game.

Official bank rate
The official bank rate (also called the Bank of England base rate[1] or BOEBR) is the interest rate that the Bank of England charges Banks for secured overnight lending. It is the British Government's key interest rate for enacting monetary policy.[2] It is more analogous to the US discount rate than to the Federal funds rate. The security for the lending can be any of a list of eligible securities (commonly Gilts) and are transacted as overnight repurchase agreements. Changes are recommended by the Monetary Policy Committee and enacted by the Governor.
The official bank rate has existed in various forms since 1694 and has ranged from 0.25% to 17%.[3] The name of this key interest rate has changed over the years. The current name "Official Bank Rate" was introduced in 2006[3] and replaced the previous title "Repo Rate" (repo is short for repurchase agreement) in 1997. Previously (between 1981 and 1997) the title was "Minimum Band 1 Dealing Rate" and prior to that the "Minimum Lending Rate".

San Diego Military Families Get A Chance To Tell Their Stories Through Theater
Friday, March 7, 2014
A national organization for theaters and a nonprofit serving military families are trying to build stronger connections with military veterans returning from war.
Theatre Communications Group and Blue Star Families, which has a Camp Pendleton chapter, are offering playwriting classes and community discussions, and are putting on plays that resonate with military families and the community.
The program, called Blue Star Theatres, gives veterans and their spouses a chance to tell their stories. Lori Hensic is married to a Camp Pendleton Marine, and works with Blue Star Families to connect the arts and military communities.
"We've found that there are actually a lot of military family members who are quite talented in the local arts programs, and so it's a really good opportunity for them to engage, even if they are going to be somewhere for a short period of time," Hensic said.
Blue Star Theatres is hosting an event Saturday afternoon in Point Loma, featuring readings of plays written by military members and their spouses.

For example if instead of doing RPC to proxy + hypercall, we end up doing RPC to daemon + PolicyKit (DBus RPC + lookup) + say xend access, this may introduce some regression. I assume all calls previously serviced by the proxy would still be allowed freely without PolicyKit checking, right ?

***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.***
Xander is only 3, though, and sometimes has a hard time keeping up. He often runs and runs and runs until his internal battery runs out! (Sound familiar, Moms?) Of course when he gets tired and needs a little recharge, the LAST place he wants to do it is in the house. Thankfully, we have an amazingly portable solution that allows our little man to take a nap without having to bring our party indoors.
The brand new BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light is easy to set-up, easy to take down, and even folds up into an attractive carrying case that looks a lot like a nice piece of luggage. It comes with a comfortable, rather luxurious mattress, and is suitable for children ages 0-3. Xander is 3 and a half, but my kids are a bit on the teeny side, so this still fits him quite well.
SPECIFICATIONS Per BabyBjörn's website:
From newborn to approximately three years, or until your child can climb out of the travel crib. There is no upper weight limit.
Weight (including carry bag): 13 lb/6 kg
Mattress: 23.5 x 41 x 1.2 in/60 x 105 x 3 cm.
Assembled: 32 x 44 x 24 in/82 x 112 x 64cm.
Folded up in bag: 19 x 23.5 x 5.5 in/49 x 60 x 14 cm.
A fitted mattress is included.
Note! Do not place any other mattresses in the travel crib.
All materials close to your child are free from health hazardous substances and certified according to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Class 1 and all relevant product safety standards. They are kind to your baby's skin and safe to taste. That's important to us!
Travel Crib fabric: 100% polyester
Top surface of mattress cover: 50% polyester, 50% polyurethane
Bottom surface of mattress cover: 100% polyester
Mattress: 100% polyether foam
The BABYBJÖRN Travel Crib Light complies with the standard ASTM F406.
BABYBJÖRN STATEMENT RELATED TO FLAME RETARDANTSEnvironmental Science & Technology magazine reported in May 2011 that the foam found in many baby products (e.g., portable mattresses, baby carriers, changing table pads, etc.) contains chlorinated Tris, or other flame retardants. These chemicals, while legal to use in the US, are considered toxic.
This is not an issue for BABYBJÖRN products. Each of our products meets all safety requirements of the 2008 Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, including those related to flame resistance, and they also are certified to a rigorous, international standard (Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Class I). This standard prohibits the use of flame retardant chemicals (e.g., Tris, PBB, TEPA, TCEP9, etc.) in products made for children.
In short, your child's well-being is our first priority. You can use all BABYBJÖRN products with confidence, knowing that they are free from health-hazardous substances.
Crib fabric: Machine wash, warm (40°C). Do not tumble dry.
Mattress cover: Machine wash, hot (60°C).
Mattress: Do not machine wash.
Wash separately with a gentle, bleach-free detergent. The Travel Crib Light should be set up when you put the fabric back on.
Our Review of the BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light :
This crib features a very sturdy frame, mesh sidewalls, and a very comfortable mattress that folds up when not in use. (Fitted sheets are also available for this mattress on the BabyBjörn website.) Due to the unique nature of this travel crib, you should ONLY use the mattress provided in it.

Imagine Arsenal giving Arsene Wenger his marching orders, or Manchester United announcing that Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Dennis Irwin, Andy Cole et al had to be sold. That is what happening as America's national pastime goes into the winter break.
Last week Davey Johnson of the Baltimore Orioles was named the American League manager of the year, after a 98-64 regular season in which the Orioles led their division throughout. Within three hours Johnson had been sacked, the third manager to suffer that fate at the hands of the Os owner, Peter Angelos, in four years.
Ostensibly, the reason was a row over a charity donation. In truth it was Angelos' refusal to countenance anyone with a mind of their own. So he jettisoned Johnson, owner of the best career record of any active major league manager.
But the 1997 world champions, the Florida Marlins, are behaving equally weirdly. They have put the whole team up for sale. This time the reason is salary costs, even though Marlins' owner, Wayne Huizenga, of Blockbuster Video fame, is one of the richest men in America. The team's best hitter, Moises Alou, has already been traded. "The fans won't like it," said a spokesman, "but they're all available."
Baseball has not yet gone completely mad. Yesterday Ken Griffey Jnr, the Seattle Mariners outfielder generally reckoned the best all-round player in the game, was unanimously voted AL's Most Valuable Player on the basis of his 56 home runs and 147 RBI's. Which means the Mariners will probably get rid of him.

Pro Tools 11, HUI, and a dream…
Hello Everyone,
I'm new here and for quite some time I have been digging for a way to connect my JL Cooper ES 8/100 control surfaces to Pro Tools. I have talked to many people, gotten as much information and research done as possible on the web and feel I have gotten so close, yet so far. At this point, I have seen that at least 3 times between 2008 and 2013, some MaxMSP users have attempted to "emulate" the HUI protocol in Pro Tools, what appears to be successfully. I have tried to use these patches hoping to at least get Pro Tools to stop complaining that it isn't connected to a HUI interface. Here are links to some of the user patches I have found and had futile attempts using…
These users appear to have successfully gotten these to work properly. I have not and could use a little guidance, or even some serious help from some expert users here on the forums.
What I am trying to accomplish would be to use MaxMSP exclusively for sending MIDI information from my control surfaces to Pro Tools, and vice versa. The only hang up that seem to be preventing this is, again, fooling Pro Tools into thinking it's HUI connection is solid. My control surfaces are properly sending all MIDI information for the faders and buttons, and my original intentions were to use Bome's Midi Translator to convert those messages if need be… however I am finding MaxMSP much more powerful. I've just scratched the surface of this program, and not very hip on how to use it… which is why I'm reaching for help.
This new version of PT only utilizes two protocols via MIDI at this point, HUI, and Command 8, which is a Digidesign control surface. So, I would need to work with one or the other, HUI seeming more easily accessible. Motormix is no longer available.
If anyone out there is willing to give a hand, please Please email me at email@example.com. Pro Tools 11 is available to trial for 30 days, however the only catch is that you need and Ilok. Download the trial here…
Thanks for reading, and I hope some of you will be able to assist me in my project.
you need to echo the note message pt is sending to check if a hui device is connected – C0 i think it is. just send it back to pt and it should be happy.
I am running both PT 10.3.7 and 11.2 on two separate computers. Last night I attempted to run the patch from the third link I posted in my original topic above with PT 10.3.7…. With Success!! That version of PT accepted the patch and stopped with the error messages that it was not connected to HUI. Now, I need to retry this with my studio computer and PT11, which the control surfaces are connected to. If it still won't jive, I suppose the most logical step would be to just use 10.3.7 exclusively.
I did notice however, that PT sends a midi message of 90 00 00 to the control surface, and MaxMSP responds with 90 00 7f. I know these midi messages aren't used in Max (it's more like 144 0 127??) so I need to learn the appropriate codes. These are the only message I see, and wondering why in the patch what all the extra routing and coding is doing, if anything.
I'll let you know how it works out
Yes, please do! I would like to be able to get around to this, but hasn't happened yet…
