Colour sells
In the early 1930s, increasing numbers of coloured products came on the market and it became clear that advertising in colour boosted the sales of not only the products, but also the magazines in which the advertisements appeared. Anton Bruehl was at the forefront of this revolution, having been commissioned in 1931 by Condé Montrose Nast, with photoengraver, photographer and colour specialist Fernand Bourges, to develop a process to produce high-quality colour transparencies for Nast's specialist colour photoengravers. The partnership resulted in hundreds of brilliant plates that had been made using the Bruehl–Bourges process appearing in Condé Nast's House & Garden, Vogue and Vanity Fair, as well as in many other magazines. The high circulation of the Condé Nast publications meant that Bruehl's images were seen by millions of readers. To encourage advertisers to take up colour photography, Condé Nast published a selection of 64 examples of Bruehl–Bourges photographs in a folio, simply titled Color sells.
The Bruehl–Bourges process dominated colour advertising from 1932 until 1938, when Kodachrome sheet film for professional use came on the market. Bruehl worked with Kodachrome and other colour film and print processes from the mid 1930s, and by the 1950s the bulk of his studio work was in colour.

"You probably think of me (your grandmother) as a nice old lady living a very quiet and, in your opinion, a not very interesting life…" These words begin a letter to her grandchildren, which she related to my grandfather as he typed the letter for us.[1] That first sentence was "spot on." As I recall Grandmother Woodward was a sedate, heavy set, matronly woman who enjoyed knitting and playing canasta. Unlike my maternal grandmother, she rarely spoke about her life growing up in Nova Scotia. That is why her letter to her grandchildren is so very special.
Sara Waddell is my only grandparent not born and raised in New England. Of Scottish ancestry, she was born in South Maitland, Hants County, Nova Scotia, in 1881 on Christmas day,[2] daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (McDougall) Waddell.
Grandmother related that she was impulsive and impatient in her early years. She described her birthplace, South Maitland, Nova Scotia, as a small village with no store or railroad and the post office was in one room of a private dwelling.
Of her childhood, grandmother related
When I was five or six years old, I went to stay with my grandmother and two aunts who lived in a big, two-story house, situated on a high know, just across the road from my home. This house was surrounded by a white picket fence. Grandmother's maiden name was Sarah O'Brien… I do not remember much about my grandfather who was William MacDougall from Scotland. He passed away when I was quite young. I do remember that he built sailing vessels.
Grandmother was a severe looking woman, strict, but just and good hearted. She always dressed in black, but whether this was intended to be perpetual, I don't know. It never occurred to me to ask when I lived there. She was over 80 years old when she passed on and at that time she did not have a gray hair, it was as black as midnight, parted in the middle and combed down over her ears in sharp contrast to the classy permanents that adorn present day grandmothers.
She was a fine cook and in the sixty years that have passed I have never forgotten her sour milk biscuits. How I used to lay into them, getting my full share if not more. Down in Nova Scotia we always had plenty to eat and I was blessed (to speak loosely) with a hearty appetite. Our children must have inherited from me their ravenous desire for nourishing food although your grandfather was never one to toy with his vittles, either at meal time or when he had a light snack or one or two sandwiches. Leftover included hash, chowder, or some similar dainty tidbit before going to bed. Perhaps it is because of a good appetite is one of the few traits of my youth I still retain, I am, let us say, reasonably well fitted. When we were married, I weighed only 13_ although I was five feet, seven inches tall….
The letter continues to relate stories the family cows, a frightful thunderstorm, riding horseback, and childhood Christmases.
Sara, with her sisters Gertrude and Mode sailed from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia on the S.S. Prince George, 14th of September 1900 and arrived in the port of Boston the following day. [3]was eighteen, she traveled from Nova Scotia to the suburbs of Boston where she worked in a variety of capacities. In 1902, their sister Bessie joined them in the United States.[4]
When she was about twenty-two she took a position with the Orphan's Home in Franklin, New Hampshire. While she was employed there, she met Oscar H. Woodward. The couple wa wed on the 28th of September 1907, in Belmont, Massachusetts.[5]
Sara Waddell Woodward died at the age of seventy-three on the 1st of July 1955, in Hartford, Connecticut.[6]
[1] Grandfather Woodward loved to write and submitted many stories to various magazines, so since he adored weaving tales, I'm sure that many of the words and phrases that were written were not those of my grandmother. A copy of the letter is in the possession of the author.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:47 PM GMT on May 03, 2011
A brilliant string of explosions rippled across a two-mile length of the Mississippi River levee at Birds Point, Missouri at 10pm last night. As the levee disintegrated, a massive cascade of muddy brown water from the Father of Waters gushed into the crevasse, thundering with the flow of eight Niagara Falls. The waters quickly spread out over 133,000 acres of rich farmland, rushing southwards along the 35-mile long Birds Point-New Madrid Spillway. The levee that was destroyed--called a plug fuse levee--was designed to be destroyed in the event of a record flood. In a marathon 20-hour operation, 150 engineers from the Army Corps of Engineers packed 22 wells in the levee with explosives on Sunday and Monday. A raging thunderstorm with dangerous lightning halted the work for a time on Sunday night, as the engineers were pulled off the levee due to concerns about lightning. Final approval for the demolition occurred after a series of failed court challenges, brought by the Attorney General of Missouri, ended at the Supreme Court on Monday. Damage to the farmland and structures along the the Birds Point-New Madrid Spillway is estimated to cost $317 million due to the intentional breach of the levee. The fact that the Army Corps is intentionally causing 1/3 of billion dollars in damage is stark evidence of just how serious this flood is. The Birds Point levee has been demolished only once before, during the historic 1937 flood.
Figure 1. Still frame from an Army Corps of Engineers video of last night's demolition of the Birds Point levee on the Mississippi River.
Figure 2. The gauge on the Ohio River at Cairo was at record highs over the past few days, but the river level is now falling, thanks to the demolition of the Birds Point levee.
Unprecedented flooding on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers
Snow melt from this winter's record snow pack across the Upper Mississippi River has formed a pulse of flood waters that is moving downstream on the Mississippi. This pulse of flood waters passed St. Louis on Saturday, where the river is now falling. The snow melt pulse arrived on Monday at Thebes, Illinois, about 20 miles upstream from the Mississippi/Ohio River junction at Cairo. The Mississippi River crested yesterday at Thebes at 45.52', which beats 1993 as the 2nd highest Mississippi River flood of all-time at Thebes. This floodwater pulse is headed south to Cairo, Illinois, and will join with the record water flow coming out of the Ohio River to create the highest flood heights ever recorded on a long stretch of the Mississippi, according to the latest forecasts from the National Weather Service. Along a 400-mile stretch of the Mississippi, from Cairo to Natchez, Mississippi the Mississippi is expected to experience the highest flood heights since records began over a century ago at 5 of the 10 gauges on the river. Areas that are not protected by levees can expect extensive damage from the flooding, but the mainline levees on the Lower Mississippi are high enough so that the flood waters are predicted to stay at least 3 feet below the tops of the levees.
The Mississippi River at New Madrid, MO, about 40 miles downstream of the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, crested at 46.54' this morning, the 2nd highest flood in history. The river is now falling, thanks to the blowing of the Birds Point levee. Rains of up to ten inches over the past three days in the region have now ended, but this water will enter the river system over the next few days, increasing heights on the river once again. The Mississippi is predicted to rise to 50 feet late this week, two feet above the all-time record height of 48 feet. The NWS warns that at this height, "Large amounts of property damage can be expected. Evacuation of many homes and businesses becomes necessary." Previous record heights at this location:
(1) 48.00 ft on 02/03/1937
(2) 46+ ft on 05/03/2011
(2) 44.60 ft on 04/09/1913
(3) 43.60 ft on 04/04/1975
(4) 43.50 ft on 02/16/1950
(5) 42.94 ft on 03/17/1997
Figure 3. Radar-estimated rainfall near the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers totaled 4 - 10 inches over a wide area during the past three days.

The "Project Flood"
The levees on the Lower Mississippi River are meant to withstand a "Project Flood"--the type of flood the Army Corps of Engineers believes is the maximum flood that could occur on the river, equivalent to a 1-in-500 year flood. The Project Flood was conceived in the wake of the greatest natural disaster in American history, the great 1927 Mississippi River flood. Since the great 1927 flood, there has never been a Project Flood on the Lower Mississippi, downstream from the confluence with the Ohio River (there was a 500-year flood on the Upper Mississippi in 1993, though.) On Sunday, Major General Michael Walsh of the Army Corps of Engineers, President of the Mississippi Valley Commission, the organization entrusted to make flood control decisions on the Mississippi, stated: "The Project Flood is upon us. This is the flood that engineers envisioned following the 1927 flood. It is testing the system like never before."
At Cairo, the project flood is estimated at 2.36 million cubic feet per second (cfs). The current prediction for the flow rate at New Madrid, the Mississippi River gauge just downstream from Cairo, is 1.89 million cfs on May 7, so this flood is not expected to be a 1-in-500 year Project Flood. In theory, the levee system is designed to withstand this flood. But the Army Corps is in for the flood fight of its life, and it will be a long a difficult few weeks. Here's how Major General Michael Walsh of the Army Corps of Engineers described his decision yesterday to blow up the Birds Point levee:
"Everyone I have talked with--from boat operators, to labors, scientist and engineers, and truck drivers have all said the same thing--I never thought I would see the day that the river would reach these levels.
We have exceeded the record stage already at Cairo. We are on a course to break records at many points as the crest moves through the system. Sometimes people celebrate with "records"--but not this time. Making this decision is not easy or hard--it's simply grave-- because the decision leads to loss of property and livelihood--either in a floodway--or in an area that was not designed to flood. The state of Missouri has done a superb job of helping people escape the ravages of water in the floodway. But other places--not designed to flood have had no warning if their areas succumb to the pressures of this historic chocolate tide.
I spent last night on the river...lashed to an anchor barge in the current near the top of the floodway. The rains continued to pound the deck of the Motor Vessel. The cold winds moved us around--and the current and water levels kept increasing as the rain storms continue to grow over the Ar/Miss/Ohio/TN Watershed.
So, with the tool that has withstood many tests: the test of operation in 1937; decades of challenges that resulted in the 1986 Operation Plan; reviews and numerous unsuccessful court challenges--I have to use this tool. I have to activate this floodway to help capture a significant percentage of the flow.
I don't have to like it but we must use everything we have in our possession, in the system to prevent a more catastrophic event. So, today, I give the order to operate the Floodway."

Yuck. The tories are at it again, and this time, the World's Greatest Luddite and his cronies are taking a well-aimed kick at their political opponents as a rider on a bill dealing purportedly with internet harassment. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/Sci_Tech/story_51150.asp. It seems that the good Minister has a problem with people who disagree with the views of the ruling party.
berend: I find your assertion that New Zealand is communist interesting. Considering that int the past, the place has been through the econo-fundamentalist wringer several times (and been praised by Rupert Murdoch) should be seen for what it is. I have relatives who would disagree with you on your definition of 'Communism' too.
ajt posted a cracker of a rebuttal (on his blog) to my last post. I'll have to 1) get my act together and post something in response and 2) take some classes in rhetoric.
movement: the SSL stuff you described is functionality a lot of people using client authentication in SSL through web browsers find useful. Firebird by default dosen't come with UI to install and remove certificates, and you need to download an Extension called "Stuff They Left Out" to get it. That same plugin comes with UI to configure language preferences, etc (I've done testing on internationalised web apps and needed the functionality), but for some unknown reason, the Firebird engineers decided to leave that functionality out. The mind boggles.
(FWIW, logging onto secure websites or into a remote box with SSH via a crypto smartcard would rock. I've got access to the hardware and software too, so it's worth a second look.)

Grant proposals addressing alcohol-related issues due, Oct. 11
Posted October 8, 2002; 07:09 p.m.
The deadline for faculty, students and staff to submit proposals for projects that address alcohol-related issues on campus is set for Friday, Oct. 11.
Grants from funds set aside by the Board of Trustees and President Tilghman through the 2002-03 Trustee Initiative will be awarded to projects that consider topics such as alcohol education and building a social culture independent of alcohol-related activities. While impact on the undergraduate community serves as a primary focus, additional benefits to the larger community will be considered in evaluating proposals.
The Trustee Initiative is intended to support efforts that positively contribute to the quality of life on campus.
Proposals should be submitted to Assistant Dean Thomas Dunne at the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students, 313 West College. More information and a downloadable application form are available on the Trustee Initiative site.

Strife: Performance
Strife Legends of Strife MMORPG Distant Melody
Legends of Strife
Spend the last week on performance optimisation. Up to now I've never giving it any priority so there was allot to do. I have managed to get the framerate (on my pc) 4 times faster in general. But even so its still running too slow for what its doing but I will get it there eventually. For now I might leave it as it is since it runs acceptably on most pc's I've tested on and instead focus on finishing the game features.
I have also fixed a few bugs that caused crashes. Of course its very likely that some still remain.
All feedback appreciated. Would be especially nice if you could make a necromancer (skull icon) and try to raise some dead creatures. Also you can try its bone shield which it gains at level 2 (You'l have to drag it from the spellbook to your cast bar).

The 50 Greatest Led Zeppelin Songs
From "Dazed and Confused" to "You Shook Me" … from "Tangerine" to "The Lemon Song" … from "Trampled Under Foot" to "Stairway to Heaven" … Guitar World presents a critical analysis of the classic-rock group's best tracks.
With the recent release of Celebration Day, the concert film immortalizing Led Zeppelin's historic and most likely final reunion concert at London's O2 Arena on December 10, 2007, guitarist-producer Jimmy Page reminded the world just how profoundly great and enduring his band's music is.
In homage to what is arguably hard rock's most innovative group (and certainly its most influential), what follows is a tour of 50 of the most celebrated Led Zeppelin songs, with a focus on the guitar playing, songwriting and arranging genius of the quartet's visionary founder.
Compiling such a finite list presents tough choices for anyone, as the band's recorded output of great music during its heyday was impressively prolific by any standard and includes well over 50 gems.
50. "D'yer Mak'er" (Houses of the Holy)
This lighthearted but heavy-sounding song, the title of which is intended to be pronounced "D'you Make Her," was conceived as a playful melding of a Fifties doo-wop-style repeating chord progression and the quirky, syncopated rhythms of Jamaican reggae.
Page makes good use of sliding sixth intervals on the song's verse riff, providing a thin-textured but catchy and harmonically effective accompaniment to Plant's vocals. His guitar solo, like so many of his others, is noteworthy for its tasteful, lyrical phrasing and emotive use of bends and finger vibratos.

Does anyone have or know where I get can a floor plan of Bespin?
I would like to have a floor plan of the Carbon Freeze chamber and how it connects to the Bespin Tower...where Luke crashes through the window and how IT connects to the weather vane? I've watched ESB 100 times or more, and I am still baffled about the weather vane scene...were after Luke climbs back onto the walkway after falling out of the window...the next scene shows him walking outside...where did he fall from? Does anyone know? Does anyone have pictures or drawings?

Q: Where did you find your original inspiration for Blue Variety?
A: My inspiration was a trip to see the Infinite Variety Quilt Exhibit in NYC in March 2011 - the red and white quilt exhibit. I designed a small group of fabrics so we all could make red/cream quilts. It was a big success. So why not do a Blue Variety follow-up! I used the same bird toile re-colored in blue and added different companions for interest.
Q: What projects do you want to see with Blue Variety?
A: I have a new book out titled 'For All Seasons.' It features some quilts made with the Red Variety line and I can see these same quilts made using the new Blue Variety line. I think adding reds, cheddars, or browns to the blues will make a beautiful quilt. I think that quilters who love blue will love this group.
Q: Tell me about your sewing machines. What kinds do you have and how many?
A: I own 5 Pfaff machines. I started with one due to the 'even feed' or built in walking foot feature, which greatly improved my machine piecing. When we bought the small house (832 sq ft) across the alley for my sewing studio about 8 years ago, I was able to hire some friends to help me get my projects made much faster than me sewing alone. That meant I had to buy another sewing machine and then another. Now, I own 5 Pfaffs. Four of them are set up for our sewing sessions and one is in the closet as a backup for when it is time to rotate the machines for annual service.
I machine quilt with my checkbook. I would rather pay someone for their skills than learn to Machine Quilt. However I do love to hand quilt small quilt projects.
Q: From what aspect of your life do you draw creativity?
A: I love antique quilts, so I have collected a lot of books with pictures of antique quilts. I love to be inspired by an antique quilt's color, the block used, or the setting, or perhaps quirks in the quilt.
Q: Where do you find inspiration for your fabric designs?
A: Since my fabrics are based on 19th century pieces of fabric - searching through my collection of antique quilt blocks, pieces of fabric, quilt tops and quilts. These have all been collected for reference for designing fabric lines.
Q: What is your favorite print in the collection?
A: Obviously there is more than one, but the Blue Variety Cream on Blue Paisley Flourish is my favorite today. Tomorrow it could be another piece. :-)
Q: What is the most challenging part of the design process?
A: Color is always a challenge.
A: Getting to sew with my fabric lines! It is always such a thrill to create with something I designed!
We had the pleasure of chatting with Jo at Fall Quilt Market 2012! Get a quick look at our interview to learn a bit more about her!

Sage (Salvia officinalis) is an herb which has been valued for centuries for its fresh scent, the peppery depth of flavor it adds to foods and for its special constituents which help to keep skin healthy and beautiful. Sage grows as a small perennial shrub, usually no more than 24 inches tall;the oblong leaves have a slightly rough texture and hair-like growths. It is a member of the mint family and is related to rosemary. The plant is believed to have originated in the Mediterranean region, but spread to northern Europe during Medieval times. It is now, of course, a treasured garden herb grown throughout the world. Salvia officinalis, usually called common sage or kitchen sage, should not be confused with Russian sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia, which has a similar scent), sagebrush (Artemisia tridentate, native to the plains region of North America) or Jerusalem sage (Phlomis fruticosa).
Sage has been used as both an herb for food flavoring and as a source of healing ingredients for more than 2,000 years. The earliest records of its use show that the Egyptians prepared a tea-like beverage from its dried leaves to increase fertility. The Romans apparently introduced the plant into Europe, where it quickly found favor as both as a culinary ingredient and as a medicinal plant. The scientific name for the genus, Salvia, is taken from the Latin word meaning "healthy" and is the root of the modern English word "salve," reflecting the curative value associated with the plant. Throughout the Medieval period in Europe, sage was credited with the power to heal almost every ailment. It was even an ingredient, along with thyme, rosemary and lavender, in "vinegar of the four thieves," a concoction believed to provide protection against infection by bubonic plague. It was considered such a valuable herb that it was perhaps the only spice" that was traded to the Far East;during the 16th century

Doctor Who: Legacy Available Now Free in the iOS App Store
Tiny Rebel Games LLC has released their Doctor Who title for iOS, Doctor Who: Legacy. It is available free on the iOS App Store (though the game is free, it does have in-game purchase options (i.e. you can purchase "time crystals")). The app is an universal app designed for both iPhone (and iPod touch) and iPad and it requires iOS 6 or later (therefore it will not work on the original iPad).
The following is their description of the game:
Sonic Screwdriver? There's an App for That!
Now in the iOS App Store is the Doctor Who: Sonic Screwdriver (Official) (for iOS 5 or later). Is if it wasn't already overused on the television series, now it's available on our iPhone. It includes four 3D models of sonic screwdrivers and thankfully not just limited the last seven years. It gives you a choice of two kinds of backgrounds for your sonic screwdriver. One is "transparent" (thanks to the rear camera) which emulates holding the actual sonic screwdriver as it will pick up whatever background you are pointing your iOS device towards (pretty nifty, huh?). Of course it has various sonic screwdriver sounds (it wouldn't be "sonic" otherwise). You can even shake the 11th Doctor's model to extend it. Plus it's a flashlight app as well (for those with a camera flash and who haven't updated to iOS 7 which now has it built-in the OS, may find this feature handy).
Thank You, Steve
What a week it has been. Unless perhaps you have been off-world or visiting another time era all this past week, you know we lost Apple co-founder and former CEO, and great tech innovator and visionary, Steve Jobs.
It is a good chance that there wouldn't be a Doctor Who: Podshock show if it were not for Apple under the leadership of Steve Jobs making the iPod so ubiquitous across the world. It certainly wouldn't had been called "Podshock" at least ("iPod" begat "podcast" begat "Podshock"). Now in our seventh year, it has been produced from the beginning using Apple products as it is today.
Torchwood: Web of Lies - Free iOS App (for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch)
BBC Worldwide LTD has released a new iOS app, Torchwood: Web of Lies (App Store link) to coincide with the new Torchwood series,Torchwood: Miracle Day. It is a series of adventures presented in episodes within the app. The first free download gives you episode 1 of Torchwood: Web of Lies. Each week after coinciding with the new series there will be another new episode released (presumably sold as an in-app purchase). Each episode tells the story through animated graphics and gameplay. There will be 10 episodes in total, again mirroring the current series, Miracle Day.
It is a universal app so it will run natively on both the iPhone (and iPod touch) and iPad.
The following is their description for the app:
Price Reduction for Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch!
As previously reported, the Doctor Who iOS game, Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time debuted in the Apple App Store last December. There are two versions, one is for the iPhone and iPod touch, and an HD version for the iPad. Unfortunately, it is not a universal app, so you can either get the iPhone/iPod touch version and upscale it for the iPad, or alternatively get the HD version specifically for the iPad.
The prices in the US App store had been $3.99 and $4.99 respectively, but are NOW ONLY 99¢ each. So if you have been holding off purchasing this game for the iOS platform, now is the time (that includes myself). At this time, I don't know if this price reduction only pertains to the US iTunes App Store or if it is worldwide. Also I do not know if this is a permanent price reduction or a limited time sale.

Sound That is Bigger on the Inside: The Speakal Doctor Who TARDIS Speaker Prototype [UPDATED]
This week is the annual CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, which means there is a tremendous amount of tech related announcements coming out of the show. As often is the case, there is some crossover between tech and sci-fi. The Panasonic booth had a special "most impressive" (as they termed it) announcement of (pre-orders for) the Star Wars films coming to Blu-ray. I had heard there would be a TARDIS speaker system at the show, but didn't have much details on it. Engadget has come to the rescue (since I am not at the show myself) with this report of hands-on prototype of the new Speakal TARDIS speaker dock and Bluetooth speaker and IR remote control system.
I am assuming it will work with the iPhone as well as the iPod. The photos show an iPhone in the dock (a white at that). If the speakers are shielded enough to prevent GSM radio noise interference from the iPhone, it should work.

My take: Joe Biden was disrespectful with his posturing, his smirking, his eye rolling, his arm waving. Was it Chris Wallace or was it Brit Hume that said they had covered every presidential and vice presidential debate since Nixon-Kennedy and had never seen such a display by anyone. The closest was Al Gore when he rolled his eyes and sighed a lot. I saw that debate. Gore did sigh and roll his eyes, but his performance was NOTHING like the one Biden put on tonight.
Biden interrupted all evening and the moderator let him do it. Ryan had a hard time being able to finish a sentence to make a point.
FACTS: the fact checkers have been busy. Both Biden and Ryan made mis-statements. However, the one that really got me was when Biden said that Ryan voted for two wars and for the prescription bill. Biden said that he did not. HE DID. Biden voted for both wars and for the prescription bill. Now that was a bold face whopper, Mr. Biden.

Well, the dust has settled. The political landscape has not been altered, for the most part.
When I started this thread, I was going to follow up the election results to say what I'm about to say regardless of who won the Presidency or which party was in control of the House and Senate.
I hope with all my heart that those in power can find some way to work together for the good of the American people. I know that's a long shot, but I know it can be done. What is has not always been so. Our leaders and Representatives can change the way they do business. It just takes commitment from everyone involved to do the hard work required.
I really, truly, hope I was wrong concerning the title of this thread. God bless America and may God bless you all.- Paul

Alternative Title: The Galaxy
Milky Way Galaxy, large spiral system consisting of several billion stars, one of which is the Sun. It takes its name from the Milky Way, the irregular luminous band of stars and gas clouds that stretches across the sky as seen from Earth. Although Earth lies well within the Milky Way Galaxy (sometimes simply called the Galaxy), astronomers do not have as complete an understanding of its nature as they do of some external star systems. A thick layer of interstellar dust obscures much of the Galaxy from scrutiny by optical telescopes, and astronomers can determine its large-scale structure only with the ... (100 of 15,325 words)

Personal preferences aside, Batman is one of the very, very few mortals who could put up a decent fight with Supes even sans Kryptonite. Brains vs brawn. Now, the first hit Clark lands is the end of the fight, though.

No, because Whedon should have his tongue removed and his hands chopped off, so that no one ever has to hear his stories again. Further, he should never be allowed within ten miles of a typewriter or computer just on the off chance he might learn to type with his toes. He needs to go right back into the Massengill box he came from.
That's my jacket!
All this because you sat through a Serenity Comic-con panel, didn't know what they were talking about and assumed he should kiss the butts of people who didn't know anything about it?

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
Not entirely, though his attitude didn't help. I'll go on record as saying Buffy sucked more than any TV show I've ever seen, and I was unimpressed with Astonishing X-Men. His approach is far too teenybopper soap-operaish for my tastes.
Yeah, I hate Buffy. You can all get mad at me now. Everyone else I say that to seems to.
That's my jacket!
Batman held his own against Supes in The Dark Knight Returns, and Bats was a fat old guy by then who was faking his own death.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
If this is in the wrong thread, I apologize.
Anyone collect the Women of the DC Universe Adam Hughes busts? I know they're not figures, but I didn't see another category for it.
I picked up Zatanna and Batgirl over the weekend, was unpleasantly surprised to see how much the Wonder Woman and Poison Ivy busts are going for now.
But as to the two I do have, I'm really impressed with the quality of the sculpt. Zatanna is a little googly-eyed, but looking at the sculpt from the right angle, you can't really tell. Batgirl is incredible. Looks like Hughes based his drawing on the Dina Meyer Batgirl from Birds of Prey, and it is a VERY nice sculpt.
Now I just have to hope I trip over a Wonder Woman minibust in a pawnshop someday.
why would Supes and Bats wanna fight anyway? They should be buddies.

(Note: The NSF Grants.gov Application Guide is available on the Grants.gov website and on the NSF website at: http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=grantsgovguide)
Important Information for Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 17-1), is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 30, 2017. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 17-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Due Dates
Full Proposal Window
Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 EDT 2017 - Tue Oct 31 00:00:00 EDT 2017
October 1 - October 31, Annually Thereafter
If the closing date for the submission window falls on a weekend, the closing date moves to the following Monday. The last date of the submission window is an absolute deadline date and proposals must be received by NSF by 5:00 p.m. submitter's local time on that date.
The submission window applies to unsolicited proposals submitted to DMR programs, except for the following which may be submitted at any time during the year: Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID), EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER), proposals for workshops or conferences, proposals to the DMR National Facilities Program, and supplements to existing grants. For proposals submitted in response to special announcements or solicitations, the deadline dates specified in the announcement or solicitation apply.

DMR discourages the submission of more than one proposal from the same Principal Investigator during the proposal-submission window.
The DMR Polymers Program supports fundamental research and education on polymeric materials and polymer science. The Program portfolio is mainly experimental and highly diverse with components of materials science, chemistry, physics, and other related disciplines. While interdisciplinarity is stressed, a central goal includes developing and advancing the foundations of polymer science across the wide horizon of the polymer field through innovative research and education projects. Polymers are studied from the molecular level through the nano-to-macro continuum using fundamental materials-focused scientific approaches. Such approaches are experimental but may also partly integrate theoretical, modeling, and computational aspects. Broad areas addressed include synthesis and assembly, characterization, phase behavior, structure, morphology, and properties. Particular focus is on transformative approaches to innovative materials with superior properties, on advancing polymer fundamentals and optimizing structure-property relationships, as well as on basic polymer research addressing major societal challenges. High-quality proposals that integrate research, education, and other broader impacts are invited. Projects focused on processing, manufacturing, engineering, devices, or applications of polymers are generally more suitable for programs in the NSF Engineering Directorate.

Aftermath - Eyes of Tomorrow
This is my third time reviewing this album, remastered, and re-released yet again, this time by Black Lotus. It really doesn't sound any different from the Thermometer or Zoid versions. Aftermath have been favorites of mine for over a decade, and were the second band ever interviewed in Metal Curse. Their Thrash style has remained intact through numerous trends, and this album is a classic. But since its release, Aftermath have apparently formed a new band with the intention of "exploring more experimental musical paths." I'll miss Aftermath. And I wish that I had half their luck with convincing other labels to license my releases.

I saw this yesterday (12/28/15) and I didn't want to believe it. Lemmy and Motorhead played a large role in my ill-spent youth and even though I knew it wasn't possible, I thought that Lemmy would always be there. He lived fast and hard, just like his music. He was an inspiration to countless people and Metal as we know it wouldn't be the same without him. He was a true legend. His Iron Fist shook the world and changed it forever. Rest in peace, brother Lemmy. You will never be forgotten.

Oilers rally past Penguins in overtimeJanuary 11, 2014 1:14 AM
EDMONTON, Alberta – It might have been a signature win for the last-place team in the Western Conference, but all it left the Penguins with was a sinking feeling.
The Penguins turned the puck over, took costly penalties and lost leads of two goals and one goal in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Friday night at Rexall Place.
"It's a game we let slip away, without question," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "It's a game we let slip away because of the way we played. We didn't take care of the game, and we let a point go."
The Oilers won it on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' four-on-three power-play goal at 1:01 of overtime, ending the Penguins' three-game winning streak.
Earlier in the day, Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins had allowed himself to think big about the matchup with the first-place team in the Eastern Division.
"To play against a team like this and beat them at the end of the night would be a nice step forward for our group," he said.
It was not a step in any sort of good direction for the Penguins, who had leads of 2-0 and 3-2.
"I don't think it was what they did; it was what we did," Penguins center Brandon Sutter said. "We didn't do too much. It seemed like we had our moments, but for the most part, we weren't desperate enough, and we kind of gave [the game] to them."
Nugent-Hopkins' winner came on a power play that carried over from regulation, when Sutter took a slashing minor penalty.
The Oilers got their first goal, also from Nugent-Hopkins, on a power play that carried over to the third period after Penguins center Evgeni Malkin took roughing and interference penalties for knocking away the stick of Edmonton goaltender Devan Dubnyk, then getting into a tussle with the goalie.
Bylsma also cited as undisciplined a penalty to Penguins defenseman Kris Letang for an illegal check to the head of Edmonton's Mark Arcobello in the first period, although that one did not lead to an Oilers goal.
"A big part of the game was the penalties we took," Bylsma said.
Penguins goaltender Jeff Zatkoff made 27 saves but his seven-game winning streak was halted.
The Penguins had been 5-0-1 in their previous six games against the Oilers and had been 4-1-1 in their past six games in Edmonton.
Edmonton was the livelier team early on. The Oilers took a 7-2 lead in shots, but Zatkoff was sharp.
The rest of the Penguins were lackluster in the first period, but got a spark in the second period.
Malkin, after stealing the puck from Edmonton defenseman Jeff Petry, worked the puck behind the Oilers net, keeping control of it until James Neal got open along the bottom inner edge of the left circle. Malkin fed Neal, who lifted the puck over Dubnyk for a 1-0 Penguins lead at 2:09 of the second period.
Sidney Crosby gave the Penguins a 2-0 lead at 7:55 of the second period. He took a drop pass from Brian Gibbons and his shot from the right circle went in off the skate of Edmonton's Sam Gagner and under Dubnyk's pads as Chris Kunitz was driving to the net.
That extended Crosby's points streak to seven games and pushed his goal total to 25.
It was also Crosby's first career goal against Edmonton, in his sixth game.
There are now just three teams, all in the Western Conference, against whom Crosby has not scored. They are St. Louis, San Jose and Chicago.
With 1:04 left in the second period, Dubnyk stopped Malkin on a dazzling scoring attempt, with Malkin weaving his way to the net. That's when Dubnyk lost his stick, and Malkin knocked it away before the two tangled briefly. Both got roughing minors, and Malkin also got an interference call.
Nugent-Hopkins scored through a crowd on a shot from near the right hash marks 53 seconds into the period , and the Oilers tied it, 2-2, at 10:07 of the third period. Deryk Engelland – a defenseman playing on the wing – couldn't handle an outlet pass from Letang, and the Oilers went on the attack. Taylor Hall swept the puck past Zatkoff from just outside the crease.
The Penguins took a 3-2 lead at 12:16 of the third period when Letang scored off of a faceoff win by Crosby during a four-on-three power play.
Anton Belov tied it, 3-3, with 1:59 left in regulation with a high, hard shot for his first NHL goal.
"Being up two, we needed to find a way to close the game out," Crosby said. "We know they're going to come hard and give a big push in the third. To give up a two-goal lead, then get the lead again, and lose it again, you don't deserve to win games when you play like that in the third."

I have trained a large number of dogs from the American gene pool and a large number of dogs from the British gene pool. I have found that there is a conversion rate of nearly 100% of the British field bred pool into excellent gundogs. That is one of the reasons I like them. I have also found that many of the Briitsh dogs do not adapt well to some of the American training models.

Jeff Beck Discusses Gear, Technique and Hendrix in 1985 Guitar World Interview, Part 2
Here's part two of our interview with Jeff Beck from the March 1985 issue of Guitar World, which featured Ron Wood on the cover (Part one of the interview is from the January 1985 issue, which featured Beck on the cover). This half of the story also features input from Seymour Duncan, Stanley Clarke, Jan Hammer, Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty.
Click here to see the cover of the Jeff Beck and Ron Wood issues -- and all the Guitar World covers from 1985.
Part II of our encounter with rock's Jack of Spades takes the form of this survey of the many musical milestones in Jeff Beck's consistently astonishing career. The Yardbirds, The Jeff Beck Group, The ARMS Tour and beyond –- all are heard from in this special report.
Since 1964, when he first put it down on wax, there's been no doubt about it: Jeff Beck has a sound, a way with the guitar that's at once unique and characteristic, instantly recognizable yet constantly evolving. Unlike many of his contemporaries among the sixties guitar heroes, Beck has had the courage to try on a number of musical styles for size; and if there have been, inevitably, times when he's seemed like the fairy-tale emperor with no clothes, he's nevertheless continued to live up to his role as one of the great guitar innovators.
Whatever the musical setting, though, there are singular elements in a Jeff Beck solo, a style that tells you immediately who's at work. Some of those elements are easier than others to point out: his extremely strong wrist and finger vibrato; his fierce attack and fat tone; his acute microtonal sense of pitch when he bends or slides into a note; his adroit manipulation of the tremolo bar to stretch a note into a phrase; his highly developed sense of phrasing, unusual in a rock guitarist for its rhythmic and melodic sophistication; his frequent use of double stops and slides; his ability to wring painfully true notes from beyond the twentieth fret; and perhaps most significantly for the development of rock guitar, his deep understanding of the electric guitar as an electric instrument, which means that over the years Beck has been one of the explorers of the guitar solo as a configuration of sounds and textures rather than simply of notes. Add the magic of inspiration and you've got the net result: a Beck solo that sounds like no one else's.
Staying a pop culture hero for twenty years is no mean feat; and Beck's recent return to the musical fray, with Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Stanley Clarke and his old Yardbirds mates on Box of Frogs, marks his emergence from three years of near-silence. With the imminent release of his own Get Workin' LP, produced by the ubiquitous Nile Rodgers, it seemed to us at GW that the time was right to try to put the career, the achievements, the musicianship of one of the all-time great ax-slingers into some kind of perspective.
That's why we thought the scrapbook appropriate. Here are the observations and comments of the man himself, as well as those of some of the musicians who've worked most closely with him over the years. We hope that the portrait that emerges of the musician-and the man-will help shed light on the most important thing: the music of Jeff Beck.
GUITAR WORLD: How do you approach your solos? Are you a spontaneous or a planned player?
I'm a very emotional person. If I've got something on my mind, that would stop me from giving my best. That's why it's not a good idea for people to ring me up and ask me to save an iffy track, because I might put it further in the dark. If I'm on form and I'm not being bothered too much by mental problems or whatever, I can whip out something good. That's why I've done quite a few overdubs for Tina Turner and things like that, because even before she made this comeback I said yes to her, just because I love Tina Turner.
And besides, I thought, this is a good way of getting out of a depression: just seeing somebody else's problems on tape, and then seeing the slot that they want me to fill in, gets my mind to working at about a hundred miles an hour, because I've got to be quick and I've got to thrill them, all in about two or three hours' time. That is a great challenge. It's something you can hardly duplicate for yourself because you know you've got more time if you need it. Besides, it's good fun doing it.
The fun and the challenge both show on the tracks you did for Tina.
Well, I play purely from the heart, y'know, and so if it doesn't work the first couple of hours, forget it. Unless we feel like we're somehow on the right track then I'll keep on going. That's it, really; I don't have any magic where I just press a button and it happens. It'll either happen or it won't. With Tina I had a fantastic time -- we got blasted at the end of the sessions, and she carved her name onto my guitar with an ice pick [laughs].
Rumor has it that you've dropped a couple of solos on Mick Jagger's solo LP as well.
Oh, I did more than that: I went down to Compass Point with Bill Laswell for three weeks, and I did seven tracks with him, I think. But I don't know exactly how much of that stuff he's using yet. [Ed. note: at deadline time, Jagger's solo LP still hadn't been mixed.]
A lot of guitarists tend to play in the patterns that just naturally fall under their fingers and repeat themselves because of it. But that doesn't seem to be the way you play.
Well, it's no use playing round on a blues mode if the tune you have doesn't have anything to do with that type of mood. If it's a major thing, then you're much freer to do more futuristic stuff, but with a minor key you're really restricted, you can't piss about too much with it. If it's a ballad you can pick up on the melody line from the singer and jazz around with it, and then it's up to the artist and the producer to say how much jazzing about they can put up with. Sometimes when I do an overdub solo, they'll keep four or five of my attempts and then mix the bits that they like to make a solo up out of them. It's not against the rules, really -- I can learn my own solos then [laughs]. But that's the whole beauty of multi-track recording, isn't it?
Your sound is so immediately recognizable -- when you hear a Jeff Beck solo, no matter where, you know right away who it is.
Yeah, I'm afraid the stain is dyed right through to the bones now, I can never get that out [laughs].
Well, what do you think are the essential ingredients of the Jeff Beck sound?
Just total lunacy, really. I think the thing to do is to forget that you're going to make a dreadful mistake and just play on straight through it. Go for one of those glorious moments that happen. If it happens everybody's hopping up and down with delight and if it doesn't they're laughing [laughs], so you try some other tack. I don't think most solos sound much good when the guy sits down and works out exactly what he's going to do. It's different if it's a hook that's going to be on AM radio, then it's worth doing it that way; but I don't really do that sort of song, y'know.

All American is a mixed breed. I'd love to hear the answer as to why luvmylabs hates All Americans in performance. I can't see anything wrong with it and I'm glad the AKC let them in.
I do performance sports (agility, obedience tracking etc.) with my lab and when he is in the Rally ring it's like a porsche in a crowded parking lot-he's super fast and those little signs seem so crowded together he barely has time to start heeling and we're at another sign. Even obedience rings seem really small with a dog like him.

I said I hate the rule that mixed breeds are now allowed to compete in AKC events. I guess I'm just a purist, but think about it like this, people are now putting AKC titles on labradoodles as a way to justify them as a breed. I used the term " all american" as that is the official way they are listed in the AKC catalog for a show.

Let's turn the tables here. Let's say AKC allows mixed breeds (AA) in field trials as they have in rally, obed, tracking (where entries may be limited to 6 or so dogs). How would you feel?
Luvmylabs has probably gone thru the same brainwashing that AKC did to all of us for the 20 yrs prior. AKC was all about and ONLY about the PUREbred dog. Now they are having a hard time paying their NYC rent, so have to find ways to raise revenues. After all the preaching.... Yes, I can see where she's coming from but I also prefer breed specialties to limit obed / rally to only that breed too. It makes it more special.
I've had the negative experiences happen in the obed ring w/ folks who weren't ready for competition (both pure and not) but at least I had some iota of what to expect from the purebreeds and their owners. I know what to expect from an overly hormonal male Labrador and also know that the Rottweiler handler who is a regular will NEVER knowingly enter a dog that isn't ready to score in the mid to high 190's (I love my dogs to be near hers in the catalog as that's who will be near in group Stays-- they are WELL trained and NICE dogs). I admit I have NO idea what to expect w/ some of the mixes and so far, it's not always been pleasant.
All the judges are trying to be PC but in the end, if they don't impose the same sanctions on the newbs, they'll just end up losing some of the old regulars. It's a vicious circle. Yes, everyone wants that opp to show off their dog, but at an AKC event?
It did kind of take the "special" feeling out of it for those of us brainwashed early on, I guess.

The GoPro Chest Mount Harness allows you to capture that elusive view of the action from behind the handlebars. If that's what you're after, mounting your GoPro on your head just won't do. It's made of wide, stretchy webbing with sliding strap adjusters to accommodate anyone from petite to sasquatch-sized. The GoPro HD Hero Camera attaches directly to a mount on the sternum and has up/down adjustability.

Just what I needed
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Depending on the sport sometimes I couldn't get the right angle I was after on my GoPro, but this style help fill the void. I seem to use it most snowskiing.
Sweet Angle
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love the angle of the chest mount for mountain biking. I haven't used it for skiing yet but am excited to see how it works out.
Chest mount harness fun to shoot with!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bought it to wear while riding my dirt bike and a few other activities and it's great for a hands free experience. Tightening the straps is pretty easy and totally helps with any camera shake. The Hero5 has voice control so that and the chestie combined, really make it hands free!
Great biking POV
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The GoPro chest mount is my go to POV angle when mountain biking. Simple harness design which can be tightened down to reduce camera shake. Personal tip: mount the GoPro upside down to get a better downhill angle!
A must if you ride bikes
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
If you ride bikes , atv's or motorcycles this is a must have for your Gopro. Highly suggest getting one if you want a different angle / POV.
GoPro Necessity!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I mountain bike a lot, and have learned that mounting the GoPro upside down on this harness captures a pretty awesome POV on trail rides. Used to borrow one from a friend, finally snagged one of my own!
Given as a gift
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I gave this to my brother as a gift and he seems to love it. He uses it for MTN Biking and fishing and has no complaints
its work great
It works great but I wonder if the generic ones you find online are just as good. I feel that these are somewhat expensive.
Chest mount splitboarding
this is what the chest mount looks like snowboarding. super stable, but obviously the footage is going to favor one side.
Look Mom, No Hands.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
One of my favorite things about GoPro has been their ability to create a variety of mounts that cover all of the bases when it comes to the kind of footage you are looking to capture.
This particular mount is great for a hands free experience capturing your hiking, mountain biking, snow day, etc. and allows you to look around without your camera moving everywhere you are looking like you get when you wear the helmet mount (which is also a great mount in certain situations)
Unless you don't mind your arms obstructing the view, this isn't as ideal for kayaking or paddle sports if you are the person with the paddle.
Nailed it
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I got this for my brother who's way cooler than me and gets awesome POV footage. Like others he now prefers this mount over a helmet mount for skiing. Easy to adjust and hasn't had any problems of it shifting on him once it's cinched down
Get the shot!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The "chestie" as many people refer to it as, is one of the key accessories you should have for your GoPro. Mounting the GoPro to your chest provides a nice point of view for your footage. I like the chest mount more than a helmet mount because when it's on your helmet you have to be very particular of where you are looking so that you get the footage you want. The chest mount keeps the footage in the action spot, either always viewing your bike, skis, board, whatever you're filming. I would recommend this accessory to anybody who wants quality GoPro footage to share with their buddies!
Good for skiing and biking
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great option for skiing and mountain biking shots. The video is much less choppy than being on your helmet. That being said, you tend to get less of the surroundings in your shot and more of just what's straight ahead. The straps are easy to adjust and very secure once you sinch them down a bit. Comfy over a ski jacket, although it can feel a bit bulky if you've got several layers on underneath
Does what it's supposed to do.
I like wearing this better than having a helmet cam while mountain biking. I've banged my camera on a tree before riding tight narrow single track - totally sucked. Chest mounts are more discrete, out of the way, and you get the cool view of your handle bars! Just remember to wear them high if you ride downhill since you're leaning back hunching over a bit. Only downfall..... why are all gopro mounts so expensive?!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
used it for 7 straight days while skiing. i loved it. above a ski jacket you dont notice you have it on, and it fits seemlessly between a jacket and a backpack. one clip to take it on and off, and easy to screw/unscrew the camera with gloves on (so you can watch your last run on the next lift ride up, of course...). very happy i got this instead of using the helmet mount (which is actually incl when u buy the camera)
Pretty cool
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This thing is fun to play around with. I've taken it biking, running and done some other menial things with it and the images I get from it come out pretty cool!
Very solid piece of gear
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I mount my GoPro on my climbing and skiing helmets, but my wife wanted Chesty for Valentines Day for skiing. It's very solidly made and for her, captures her hand and ski position throughout each video. She loves it.
I'll stick with the helmet mount--I'm not so tall that the extra few inches makes me hit things, plus Chesty made me sweat my butt off by compressing all my clothing tight to my body. That's a good thing for her (always cold) but not me (always sweaty). Probably worth considering if you run hot like I do.
Great Buy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've used this for biking, skiing, and trail running, though the best use so far has been downhill biking. I've had the Chesty since my first GoPro and its still holding up. I do find that its somewhat difficult to get it to tighten enough when skiing harder snow, which results in a lot of vibration (even with the shock mount). Add some different perspective to your POV footage!
The Chestie was one of the first mounts I really started to like using. Because of it's low-profile look and the stability it brings, it's one of my go-to mounts while skiing.
Best bike POV
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
In order to make a GoPro POV shot really work on a bike, you need something in frame for perspective. With this mount, you see the bike, the bars, your arms and hands, plus everything that's going on in the frame. Its one of my favorite and most dynamic GoPro mounts.
What settings(frame rate,resolution, etc) did you use when you recorded this?
Keoni- I set up as wide as possible - on the GoPro 4 I'm using now - its set at 1040 wide, frame rate is 60 fps I believe in that setting. Depending on how you wear it, you might get too much knee/leg in the frame, so play around with the setup. The higher and tighter you can wear it, the better - same for your flat tops, too.
Wondering if this would work well for...
Wondering if this would work well for whitewater rafting.... Or would it be all arms and oars... I have a middle fork permit and would like to get some action shots..
In my opinion kayaking shots work best off a helmet cam or off the end of the kayak
This setup looks awesome! Does anyone have...
This setup looks awesome! Does anyone have any experience using the chest mount while fly fishing or other less typical go pro applications?
Thanks a lot
This is a great mount for anything that doesn't involve a helmet. the purpose is really just as a hands free mount.
if you are using the lcd bacpac on the go...
if you are using the lcd bacpac on the go pro what is the best set up for attaching it to a chesty
You will probably want to use one of the offset mounts, like the front of helmet one to get it away from your body a little. You can also connect a bunch of the different angle/swivel pieces to given some cool shots.
I'm a trail runner and would like to record...
I'm a trail runner and would like to record some of my runs. Would this harness work for that or would there be too much bouncing to make a good video?
You will get a little bouncing with this mount, but it would be one of the better mounts to use. The straps cinch down pretty well to hold the camera in place so it shouldn't bounce much more than your body does as you run. I would use the R3 setting to record, that way you could slow it down if you wanted to and it won't feel as bumpy. I use this mount dirt biking and the picture is a lot more stable than I thought it would be.
You could also turn it around pointing backwards (off your back), which seems more stable for some reason.

Yes, of course itll work. But the footage might be at an odd angle since youre mounted on a board with feet sideways as opposed to feet forward on skis. A helmet or board mount might work better.
Or you could get a few more components and have it angled and shooting straight ahead just as you would if you snowbladed.

If so, I'll buy it right now.
Out of the box no. You might be able to rig something up...although I probably wouldn't trust it.
there is a gopro tripod adapter of some sort sort which you might be able to use in tandem with the elbow joint and then screw it into the tripod mount on your camera.

Hey, does anybody know if the chest harness works well or better than the helmet mount for mountain bike footage?
first of all, its a different view. expect to see more bars and arms, and if you're sitting down, knees pumping the pedals while wearing the chest harness.
second main difference: i've noticed that when i do sports of any sort, my head is remarkably still. the helmet mount gives a super smooth video. (while your torso may bounce around, your neck absorbs the shock, and your head stays still.)
also, if you don't tighten the chest harness down quite a bit, it will bounce when you hit big jumps. but even when tight, you don't really notice it there...
I agree with ronen. I thought at first it was more stable, but once I got my helmet mounts situated a little better, they seem to be more stable and a better all around angle to use.

I plan on using the HD GoPro Camera for Snowboarding. Has anyone used this harness for snowboarding? If so, does it work well, or should I avoid the harness and just use the helmet mount? Thanks!
I've seen snowboarding footage with the chest mount and looks pretty cool, but ends up being a little distorted because of the body position. I would recommend the head mount for snowboarding. I have also seen some really good footage from the board mount.
I have tried it and it can be done but like jesse already said you do get a distorted shot. Pole mounts work great for boarding. If you have friends that ski they can probably get some good chase footage of you with the chest mount.

No it is specifically designed for the GoPro HERO camera. It is a small digital recorder that comes with a waterproof case used to attach it to a variety of different mounts, anything from your helmet to your surf board to your car.

Sorry but I can't tell from the photos, does the GoPro Chest Harness come with the "J-hook" mount?
No it comes with the standard mount, also to get the right angle u need to mount it upside down so u will have to change the settings on he camera otherwise u will be watching upside down I can post a close up pic of it if u would like
