+1 for the 450t. Love it.
I've have the Oregon 450 with Hunting GPS maps for the terrain and land status data. I'm very happy with that. I had the 400 before that.
I'm sure the 650 would be great but will be more money.
Grand Slam #1005 + 2: Dall (1986 Yukon), Fannin/Stone (1987 Yukon), Bighorn (1988 Colorado Unit S-26), Stone (1995 British Columbia), Desert (2001 Nevada Unit 161), Bighorn (2009 Wyoming Unit 5)
+1 for the 450t. Love it.
Me an dad have the rino 650 there both paired I like that I can see were hes at when he keys up the 2 way I hope my cuz gets that one but will tell him what you guys said thanks all!
I have the oregon 450 with hunt maps. I really want the oregon 650. I played with one at sportsmans warehouse. The screen seemed better, touchscreen was more responsive, and it was faster at loading. The oregon 650 also uses WAAS and GLONASS. I'm curios if this makes more accurate than the oregon 450. Also the camera is supposed to be better than 550 model.

Thanks again for the help in advance.
My hunting partner was having that same problem with his Montana (low battery within 1 hour). If I recall correctly, I went into the setting menu on his gps and enabled the 'power saver' mode. Also, you should be able to change how quickly it automatically turns off the light and 'goes to sleep'. I would think the menu on the Oregon and the Montana should be very similar. Hope that helps.
Use lithium ion batteries, helps a lot, I left mine on in the truck overnight and it still had battery for two more days
I also have the 450. Works great
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.

Now the Klingons are sending an armada to retake the station, and Sisko must get the Defiant ready and pilot her into battle against a ship hundreds of times larger.

NFPA 59: Utility LP-Gas Plant Code, 2012 Edition
|Item # 5912
|Member *
|Table of Contents
|Quantity Discounts
Prevent fires and explosions by following expanded and updated provisions in the 2012 NFPA 59.NFPA 59: Utility LP-Gas Plant Code applies to the design, construction, location, installation, operation and maintenance of refrigerated and non-refrigerated liquefied petroleum gas utility gas plants. Coverage of liquefied petroleum gas systems at utility gas plants extends to the point where LP-Gas or a mixture of LP-Gas and air is introduced into the utility distribution system.
The 2012 NFPA 59 includes technical changes that impact most users:
- A new section on corrosion protection largely extracts existing requirements from the Code of Federal Regulations, 49 CFR Part 193.
- A new section addresses training of personnel engaged in maintenance or operation of propane-air mixing equipment.
- A new section on construction and modification records requires operators to maintain records of the materials of construction for process equipment piping systems containing LPG and other flammable fluids, including their supporting system and foundations for plants that are built or modified after the effective date of the 2012 Edition.
- Requirements for separation distances for containers less than 2,000 gallons were extracted from NFPA 58: Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code.
- The provision for vent stacks on nonrefrigerated aboveground containers was removed.
Make the 2012 NFPA 59 part of your tools of the trade.
Work with the most up-to-date safety rules for LP-Gas utility gas plants. Apply the field's latest provisions concerning refrigerated and non-refrigerated containers; piping, valves, and equipment; buildings or structures housing LP-Gas distribution facilities; vaporizers, heat exchangers, and gas-air mixers; relief devices; operations; maintenance; and fire protection, safety, and security.

No, that's not an editorial comment--Ringling Bros. Circus had come to NYC and her father, Bill Ryan, a former NBC correspondent, put a mic in his 5th grade daughter's hand and set her to work. He used to say of broadcasting "It sure beats working!" Kate's come to agree, though she's still coming to terms with her coulrophobia (that fear of clowns thing.)
As a member of the award-winning WTOP News Team, Kate's focused on state and local government from Rockville to Richmond. Her focus has always been on how decisions made in a council chamber or state house affect your house. She's also covered breaking news ranging from the arrest of then-DC Mayor Marion Barry to the deadliest crash in Metro's history to the 2010 hostage-taking at Discovery Headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. Kate's also chased hurricanes, tracked tornadoes, waded through the snow drifts of "Snowmageddon" and covered the many protracted power outages that have followed those storms.
Kate also worked as News Director and morning anchor at WTOP's then-sister station, WASH-FM. She produced a weekly public affairs show and interviewed authors, politicians and Pulitzer prize-winners. Interviewees include David Simon, creator of HBO's "The Wire", two-time Pulitzer prize winner David McCullogh, and one of the central figures of the Iran Contra Affair, Lt. Colonel Oliver North.
Kate's been recognized for her series and features: from the aggravation of trying to find a parking space in a crowded downtown "Can I Park Here?" to whether letter writing has become a lost art "Don't Forget to Write". Working with her colleague Darci Marchese, she won a regional Murrow Award for an examination of mental illness, "The Loneliest Disease". Most recently, she produced a series on bullying "No Bully Left Behind."
Kate's also enjoyed the chance to produce features on people whose stories capture the imagination; a teenage violin virtuoso whose work was played at the Holocaust Memorial Museum, the street vendors known as the Arabbers of Baltimore, and veterans who take part in physical therapy using the horses of "The Old Guard", the US Army's Caisson platoon.
Kate has an MA in teaching from Johns Hopkins University. She's taught US History and AP Government to high school students in Montgomery County Maryland, one of the nation's consistently top-rated school systems. She's attended Street Law's Supreme Court Summer Institute,which allowed her to sit in on oral arguments before the Supreme Court.
Thanks in part to WTOP's support for creating a staff with depth and breadth, she was chosen as the 1000th fellow in the RTDNA/RIAS fellowship program in which journalists from the US get a chance to explore issues of common interest in Berlin, Germany. While there she examined an issue of global and local importance: traffic.
Kate speaks Spanish, makes a good effort in French, and struggles in Dutch. Kate lives in Washington, DC and blogs about getting around by bike on her website: Lane Change, Kate Ryan Reports. Kate is honored to work in a newsroom with colleagues whose commitment to news is second to none.
You can email Kate at email@example.com or follow her on Twitter.

You Me At Six
There aren't many bands who reach their third album while still only aged between 21 and 22. Fewer still have headlined Brixton Academy, staged two sold out nights at Hammersmith Apollo, or have played to a total of 65,000 people on just two of their many UK tours. That You Me At Six are also the 2011 Kerrang! Award winners for Best British Band is yet another accomplishment.
Since the release of You Me At Six's 2008 debut album Take Off Your Colours, they have been at the forefront of British rock music. From that album's riotous pop-punk, via the explosive thrills of their 2010 Top 5 album Hold Me Down, the Surrey-based band have dealt in party anthems, relationship dramas as they've sound-tracked the summer with their buoyant melodies and crackling riffs.
But the release of You Me At Six's third album, Sinners Never Sleep, marks a shift. Older, wiser, and with more to say, this is a band who have enjoyed their youth but who are moving into new pastures.
"I truly believe this is the best album we've made. It's going to get people talking," says the band's singer and lyricist Josh Franceschi. "What we aimed to do was something different, we wanted to reinvent ourselves."
"I don't want to hear a band release the same album three times, I want to hear them do something new and push some boundaries," adds Max Helyer, the band's guitarist and chief songwriter. "We've taken it to the next step."
You Me At Six recorded Sinners Never Sleep in Los Angeles with the influential producer Garth Richardson (Biffy Clyro, Gallows, Rage Against The Machine) and there, they set about building the bridges to take them from their pop-punk past to their rock future.
"The last thing we wanted to do," says drummer Dan Flint, "was to write a pop-punk album about going on the Warped Tour and getting fucked up, or about girls dumping you."
"A lot of those throwaway US pop punk bands have just written the same album over and over again," says Josh of the band's mindset. "What is the point of writing a record that sounds the same as your last record? People wanted us to play it safe. So the first two songs we worked on were When We Were Younger and Bite My Tongue. We wanted people to understand we were going somewhere else."
Those two tracks, in an instant, make it clear You Me At Six have developed. When We Were Younger, the album's closer, is a building, brooding and experimental six minute epic about Josh's relationship with his parents. Bite My Tongue, featuring a guest vocal from Bring Me The Horizon singer Oli Sykes, is as heavy and furious a track as You Me At Six have ever written. Its lyrics are a departure too as, with fierce honesty, Josh details the often complex bonds that form between band members on the road.
"There's stuff on this album I've never addressed – writing about my parents, writing about the band," says the singer. "This band is my therapy and I have to use it to get rid of my shit. So what's the point in writing thoughtless, soulless, radio-friendly bullshit? What is the point? Maybe fans would rather hear something honest. And maybe people are bored of hearing the whole boy-girl bullshit."
It is why Sinners Never Sleep is – both lyrically and musically – a far deeper and more intricate affair than before. From the heartfelt Little Bit Of Truth – addressing the relationship between fans and band – to the heavy Time Is Money (which features a contribution from Parkway Drive singer Winston Smith), it is clear that this is a band who, as they have travelled the world in recent years, have done so with their eyes open to new insights. And Sinners Never Sleep is a candid appraisal of what they've seen.
"Some people think being in a band is all fun while you're travelling all over the world," says Max. "But with the good comes the bad. This CD reflects that, it's honest. It's not just fun and games because this hasn't been the easiest ride."
One of those hard times is the inspiration for the standout track Little Death. On the eve of Hold Me Down's release in 2010, Dan's father died. As the band rallied round, it was something Josh felt he should address. "I went from celebrating a top five record to not caring about it at all," says Dan thoughtfully. "Josh wrote about it in a very good way. My dad would be stoked."
It was a moment, conversely, that helped bring the band even closer together. "When something big like that happens and it puts everything into perspective," says bassist Matt Barnes. "Now we're all closer than we've ever been."
"The fact that our lives are on the album means there are actual stories there," says guitarist Chris Miller. "It gives this depth."
Not only that, but it gives You Me At Six a future. This is an ambitious band who, with their third album, are looking ahead. Older, wiser and brimming with confidence, Sinners Never Sleep is the first step towards the rest of their lives and, as the maturity, intensity and quality of the record prove, there is much to be excited about.
"A lot's happened to our band in the last two years that has made us grow up fast," says Josh. "The main point about this album is that we have grown up and that's reflected in our music. Whatever comes of that will come – whether it's negative or positive. But I'd rather look back with no regrets and be proud of our songs, than be thinking, 'We should really have tried to do something a little different'."
"This album gives is a massive opportunity," says Max, finally. "We have the songs now. If we want it, there's nothing to stop us smashing it everywhere."

7/01 in Yankee History
The red-letter days -
2004: The 'Derek Jeter dive' game.
One of the most thrilling contests in recent years in the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry takes place at the Stadium. Home runs by Tony Clark and Jorge Posada propel starter Brad Halsey into a 3-0 lead over Pedro Martinez. but Boston tie it on a two-run Manny Ramirez homer and a David McCarty two-bagger that glances off Bernie Williams' glove in the 7th. The Sox load the bases with no outs on two singles and a walk against Mariano in the 11th, but A-Rod turns a miraculous 5 (UA), 5-2 double play that would have been a triple play on a 2-5, but the latter throw retires Ramirez coming from second for the second time on the play, a twist that one won't find in the rule book. A second-and-third, two-out threat against Tanyon Sturtze in the following frame is snuffed out when Jeter dives face first into the left-field boxes after snaring Trot Nixon's flair into no man's land. The Sox pull ahead again on another Manny blast to lead off the 13th, but with two out in the home half of the inning, Ruben Sierra, Miguel Cairo and John Flaherty deliver a single, a double and a single in succession, and the Yanks and their fans celebrate a 5-4 victory.
1941: Joe Dimaggio ties Wee Willie Keeler's Major League record hitting streak at 44 games whilst leading the Yanks to a doubleheader sweep of the Red Sox, 7-2 and 9-2.
On other 1sts of July…
2007: The contract of righty reliever Edwar Ramirez, who has been all the buzz in Scranton, is purchased, and the spindly hurler is brought to New York. Infielder Chris Basak is optioned out to create room, and injured righty Jeff Karstens is shifted to the 60-day disabled list.
1990: Yankee starting pitcher Andy Hawkins has a frustrating day's work, holding the White Sox hitless through seven when New York third baseman Mike Blowers makes an error on a Sammy Sosa grounder leading off the next inning. Two walks follow, and then back-to-back errors by Jim Leyrirz and Jesse Barfield on wind-blown outfield flies, and the Sox are up, 4-0, the final score of the game despite the fact that Hawkins succeeds in finishing the no-hitter.
The 4-0 loss was the largest margin of a no-hitter loss in the 20th century, and Hawkins became the first Yankees pitcher to lose a no-hitter. On September 4, 1991 the Committee for Statistical Accuracy, appointed by Commissioner Fay Vincent, changed the definition of a no-hitter to require that a pitcher throw at least nine full innings and a complete game. Since Hawkins played for the visiting team, the White Sox never batted in the ninth inning and Hawkins lost the credit for a no-hitter.
1964: It's 'Taxi Day' at the Stadium, with nearly 5,000 cab drivers and their families in attendance. The Kansas City A's spoil the party, though, by beating the Yankees 5-4 in 11 innings.
1962: Angels reliever (and future Yankee pitching coach under Billy Martin) Art Fowler earns the win in the second of two vs. the Bombers with his throwing and with his bat. Fowler drives in four runs with two singles in the 12-5 nightcap after the Yanks win the opener 6-3. Halos outfielder Albie Pearson becomes first player in MLB history to go hitless in 11 at bats in a twinbill consisting of two
nine-inning games.
1957: In a game against the Yankees, Baltimore pitcher George Zuverink and his catcher Frank Zupo become the first 'Double Z' battery in Major League history. But the 26th-letter mojo isn't enough, as the Yanks prevail 3-2.
1950: At Fenway, Whitey Ford makes a considerably less than auspicious MLB debut, coming on in relief of Yankee starter Tommy Byrne. The young lefty is slapped around by the Red Sox for seven hits and five earned runs, while walking six, as Boston roll to a 13-4 win.
1935: At the suggestion of Yankee outfielder George Selkirk, the Stadium gets a six-foot-wide cinder path in front of the fences to alert fielders when they are approaching the wall. Yankee Stadium is the first Major League ballpark to have the feature, which will subsequently become known as the 'warning track'.

Four Years of Sock Posts!
I honestly cannot believe I've been writing these weekly Sock Journal entries for four years! I swear, if I didn't do these posts about how long I've been writing the Sock Journal, I would never realise the speed of time passing.
I mean, how is it that I've gone a whole year and only done one post on Tips & Tricks and it was just a guide to how to measure to find the best fitting socks and one giving you tips on using gift notes to best advantage!
Those are still like, super useful, but I need to step up my game!
I've probably been distracted from nerdier posts by the two ongoing monthly series I've done this year—the birthday Dreamers Recommend and focusing on specific colours.
Putting together the Dreamers Recommend posts is a fun challenge. It's tough for some of us to pick a favourite! And those of us who've worked here a long time have favourites that haven't been made in years, or were a weird sample. So when you're told "what do we have that is currently available that you love the most" your brain does a cartoonish screech as it puts on the brakes. Of course, once a person's slept on it they can come up with a couple (or a couple dozen!).
As enjoyable as the birthday Dreamer posts are, the colour focus posts are definitely the most indulgent. I get to stroll through the stock room, plucking examples of colours like fruit! It's the best kind of harvest!
I also love that it gives me a chance to use words to explain colours that can never be perfect across all monitors (as the teal/turquoise post proved!).
I mean, really, when it comes down to it, I'm trying to make the Sock Journal a good go-to for tips and general information about socks. Our stock is ever-changing, so I've got to write posts that will stand the test of time and keep helping folks in the years to come. So I get as much joy out of writing about how restock notifications work . . .
. . . as I do putting together DIY posts!
I guess if you start breaking all my posts down to the basics, they're just be explaining and nerding on specific sock and sock-site things. Which is pretty much the best. Thank you for reading and, as always, I'd love to know socky things to nerd out on next!

Dreamy Tattoos
Often, by August the full weight of summer heat is on us (in the Northern hemisphere), or has been making itself felt for some time. It's tough to be sock devotee in this weather, even with lots of lightweight and little sock options out there. Since even talking about socks can be too warm this time of year, I thought it'd be the perfect time to do a post inspired by a suggestion from one of our awesome commenters.
One of the most fun things about taking product pictures is how each one of our dreamy Dreamer models brings their own style to the shoot, by what they wear with a pair of socks, what poses they rock, each person's own awesome self and also any tattoos.
• Extra Long Satin Gloves •
• Basic Five Toes •
• Sheer Pattern Crews •
• O Basics •
From a tiny tattoo on their instep to full leg designs, the ink on Dreamers' legs ranges as wide as their personalities, shapes and styles!
Leg tattoos can be useful in the sock business as they're a great indicator of how opaque something is, or how crazily sheer. You've probably seen lines that say a sheer style "[does] not include tattoo patterns you see in some of the images… we just wanted to show you how truly sheer these are."
• Avant Garden Sheer Printed Tights •
• Floral Flocked Tights •
• Polka Dot Sheer Thigh Highs with Cuban Heel •
Or maybe browsing opaque options you see "Opaque enough to hide leg hair, but tattoos do show through areas that are more stretched."
• Harlequin Diamond & Stripe Tights •
• Striped Tights •
• Color Tights •
More on how we use tattoos to show opacity after the jump! Read more »

July Dreamers Recommend!
After two months of just single Dreamer birthdays we've got a whole mess of folks born in July! Like their summer birthday month, the love they have for these styles burns bright!
Nina is our Customer Service Manager and the darkest ray of sunshine. If it's black and sparkly, then she's got a pair. When I asked her what her favourite style was, the first one on the list did not surprise me.
Some of my favorites include the Tabbisocks Party Night warmers because my hands are always cold, but it is imperative to always sparkle!
But she didn't stop there!
Our very own house brand of Longer Striped Extraordinaries and Super Dreamy Stockings are non-negotiable wardrobe staples.
I am a HUUUUUGE fan of the 100-inch Super Ruched socks made exclusively for us by Tabbisocks. A truly impressive sock that doesn't get the love it deserves, IMO. They go on forever, soft and light, endlessly scrunchable, and a great conversation starter.
Tabbisocks Cat Tights because they are infinitely adorable . . . made even more so (if that's even possible) with the DIY addition of google eyes and paired with my bestest kitty shoes.
Skulls OTK and Floral Chain OTK, both by Tabbisocks, are also strong faves of mine.
Oh, my! I think it might have just occurred to me…I am in mad, mad love with Tabbisocks!
And we're in mad, mad love with you, Nina!
Though she's effusing over only one style, Sabrina (our savant of both the shop and Customer Service) says she picked the Dreamy Knees in Peacock to "spread my love for stripey Sock Dreams Dreamy/Color Knees. Stripey socks are my favorite! And Dreamy Knees/Color Knees are the best! I own about 7 different colorways, but I probably wear the Peacock Dreamy Knees the most because those are all my favorite colors. BEST. COLOR. PALETTE. EVER."
With six types of Colour Knees, four Dessert Knees, three variations of rainbow, and all the delicious Dreamy Knees, Miz Sabz has the giantest heart of anybody to love all these stripes! Though she doesn't limit her love, and lets other patterns get in on the mix.
• Laced Weed Crew •
• Leopard Animal Print Footless Tights •
But don't think it's all that colour that's winning her over, 'cause lady can wear a neutral as well.
• Lurex Glitter Over the Knees with Snappy Fleur de Lis Sock Garters •
• M45s •
Ryan is our Domestic Shipping Manager and a general all-around handy dude and wonderful human. He somehow manages to be a man of not many words who can still sling sass and enthusiasm with the best of them. Ryan chose the Dreamer Jacquard Flowering Vine OTK to represent his overall preference for our Dreamer Socks styles, the Extraordinary styles in particular.
First I need to give a solemn shout out to my favorite pair of socks for nostalgia's sake. Those would be the O Yummies in Blueberry, my very 1st pair of Sock Dreams socks, that, alas, shared a similar fate with most of our discontinued lines, in that the yarn source dried up. My current favorites are the Extraordinaries, in any style/color. In my opinion these are the perfect year round sock. The coverage adds enough warmth for all but the coldest days and the weave gives enough breath-ability for all but the hottest days. Lastly, if you hate scrunchy, slouchy socks like me, then you'll be pleased to know that these tend to stay where you put them on your legs.
Ryan is a joy to shoot and regularly rocks the heck out of taller socks paired perfectly with shorts. His love of our Dreamer Socks is only eclipsed by being a grade-A goof if you make him model toe socks.
• Harvest Rainbow Crews •
• Bamboo Tabi •
• Dream Stalker Stripes •
And then there's our fabulous Shop Shift Supervisor Rose! Girl can layer. And that's her game, too:
SITM has always been my go to style of sock. I mainly wear a quirky novelty sock (or two) layered over bright (FT) tights or (NV) leggings. All year round. Every now and again I'll go a little fancier with openwork tights, layered over solid tights and always with converse. Keepin' it classy and a bit weird, layer by layer.
My go to colors are seafoam, teal, purple, black, and pink – often all at once.
So of course she layered two socks together because "Because dinosaurs in space"!
• T Rex Midcalves •
• Planets Knee High •
I can always rely on Rose for an ultimate pairing of socks and accessories, like the shirt and necklace combo with the Neon Suspenders or that she gave me three (!) under layering colour options when she modelled the Neon Rainbow Striped Fishnet Tights.
July birthday folks, you're a joy! Keep cool temperature-wise, 'cause I know you already got the "being awesome" part of cool down!

Colours: Blue
I planned to look at the colour blue for July because it's one of our slower sock months (hmm, middle of summer, wonder why?) and I knew I'd have a bit more time to look at all these blues. It's the colour associated with the most styles, just under black (which has over twice as many styles as blue, but that's a tale for another month!). There are enough of 'em that I'm ignoring navy for now, along with pastels, and just focusing on blue-blue.
As usual, I'm not trying to define blue. If you want some poem-like lists of names for shades of blue, Wikipedia and the Color Sorting Wiki are kind of amazing resources. I've done my best to accurately represent these hues in relation to each other, so you can gather a good idea of what matches and what doesn't.
There are a lot of blue euphemisms (blue-phemisms), like "Steel", "Denim", "Royal" and ocean-y words. As you browse down through the brand lineups of blues I challenge you to guess what word is used to mean "blue" the most.
Dream Stockings & Dreamer Socks
Without pastels and navy, our house brands only rock a couple basic blues, but the Royal is unrepentant!
From left to right: Diamond Rib Knee High, Cotton Slouch Socks, N40s
Lots of gorgeous blue variations here, B.Ella does blue luxe!
From left to right: Erin Wool & Silk Socks, Maniche Silk Tweed Boot Sock, Bastia Comfort Top Crew, Ginger Ribbed Knee Highs, Sergei Recycled Cotton No Show, Gregorio Wool Bootsocks, Zazu Honeycomb Footies
EG Smith
From the edge of teal to a rich royal (that is actually called Denim), they run a nice little gamut that stays sedate.
From left to right: Ribbed Boot Socks, ECO Organic Nuby Crew, ECO Natural Hemp Crew Socks
Foot Traffic
Lots of soft blues here, with quite the royal to cap it all off!
From left to right: Signature Cotton Tights, Ribbed Knit Leg Warmer, Paris Trouser Socks, Opaque Solid Nylon Trouser Socks, Opaque Tights
Another limited blue palette (which is always amazing, as Tabbisocks normally rules colour selection), but such pretty blues.
From left to right: Harajuku Scrunchy Socks, Crochet Lover Over the Knees, Harajuku Arm Warmers
Lots of blues with a heavy dose of royal, because if you're going to do just one blue, why not go all the way?
From left to right: Alpaca Cable Hand Warmer, Seaside Ruffle Capri Legging, Striped Tights, Orkney Angora Leg Warmers, Polonova Klimt Spiral Trouser Sock, Cotton Overknee
A look at how all these hues break down after the jump!

Socks for the Fourth!
Happy Fourth of July! Fireworks, cookouts, lots of flags! It's an important holiday folks tend to celebrate in a fun way. The most patriotic thing is to celebrate and support the States by buying things made in the USA.
Of course, all of our Dream Stockings and Dreamer Socks styles are made here in the USA and we have some pretty slammin' reds and royal blues.
• Extraordinarily Longer Thigh High •
• Vertically Inclined Stockings •
• Cotton Inklined Knee Highs •
We only have a handful of American Flag socks, but the run the style gamut from the practically superhero-like Old Glory Printed Trouser Socks to the almost vintage-feel of the Old Glory Midcalves (which are, funnily enough, the only flag socks we have that are made in the USA).
• Old Glory Printed Trouser Socks •
• American Flag Midcalves •
• America Printed Trouser Socks •
• Old Glory Midcalves •
Now, you know my weakness is colours and pairing colours. So let's shuck the origins for a little bit and just splash around in the boldly beautiful combo of red, white and blue after the jump. Consider it a tiny sock fireworks show! Heck, we'll throw in some fireworks too!

"Air-Flo" more than just a "cool" name
Use this as overpants or just plain protective pants. The "Air-Flo" is outstanding in keeping your legs cool in warm weather. Zipping on and off is effortless without removing footwear. I wear these over walking shorts. Zip off and into the mall; zip on and back on the road. Awesome product.

Eldarica Pines also make good windbreaks in tough areas.
Shapely tree with wide spacing between branches. Stiff long dark green needles at maturity. Grows in most hot, dry climates as well as tolerating colder climates.
Wildlife Value
An Eldarica Pine windbreak makes valuable cover, nesting and breeding areas for upland game and songbirds. In winter, seeds and fruits of trees and shrubs provide food for non-migratory species.
The Eldarica Pine is also called the Afghan, Mondel, Elder or Calabrian pine.
The Eldarica Pine tolerates heat, wind and dry conditions very well.
The Eldarica Pine has dark-green needles.
Flower Color

Bloom Time
This tree blooms in the spring.
Fruit Description
This trees produces 3" oval to oblong reddish-brown cones.
Rate of growth refers to the vertical increase in growth unless specified differently. Rate, as is true for size, is influenced by numerous variables such as soil, drainage, water, fertility, light, exposure, ad infinitum. The designation slow means the plant grows 12" or less per year; medium refers to 13 to 24" of growth per year; and fast to 25" or greater.Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael Dirr.

Today's topic is something we've discussed before, but that I wanted to come back to. There's actually a couple of parts to today's question:
Thanks for answering, and have an awesome weekend!
I used to frequent RPG message boards. I got tired of the undesirable personalities that burbled to the surface of what often became, and I think this is fair, a fetid pit. This varies from board to board, and the OD&D board especially is worthwhile.
Nothing cools my enthusiasm for D&D like seeing, in succession:
Yet another thread proposing a Jedi prestige class,
Another argument over some minor technicality in the rules (bonus points if the poster is a player demanding that everyone acknowledge that his DM is an ignorant bastard),
Another thread about a recursive exploit that allows a player to create a character of ridiculous power,
Another thread about Celestial Vampiric Ghost Space Half-Platinum-Dragon Half-Drow Conquistador/Paladin/Cavalier/Samurai/Viking/Ninja/Robot/Pirate/Avatar "build" with an expected package of magic items, six hundred acronyms, seventeen source books, and a huge rant on why this is "legal" and your DM is an ignorant bastard for not letting you play it,
Pointless flames between different camps of troll,
Regressives who argue that the new thing sucks, early adopters who argue that the old thing sucks, self-declared geniuses who argue that everyone is lame for arguing over it,
Admins who either ignore the board or who rule it with a spiked, poisoned gauntlet,
And spending too much time posting.
Instead I glean what I want from a forum and move on. There are typically some good ideas - diamonds in the dreck so to speak- but I just can't bear to participate.
For me it's decreased greatly. Although I've been hitting The Haven again in the last 2 or 3 days, it had been...let's see. A year, more? since I'd been there.
No real reason taht I can cite, though, short of I didn't have anything to say.
Don't frequent message boards much any more. I like the community aspect of many of them, but find I don't have the time to "keep up". Many of them seem to be more chat rooms that forums.
I come from the good ole days of message boards. It took effort and resources to stay connected. So, one would use offline message systems. It worked like this:
1. Dial in and download the messages since your last download.
2. Read them and respond at your convenience.
3. Upload your replies the next time you logged in.
4. Finally if it was a global message area, wait for those replies to replicate around.
Nearly everyone had to work with this constraint so messages had content. Not a lot of "me to" messaging.
Those were the good ole days of gaming in the electronic space. Now you kids get off my lawn.
I used to frequent various D&D Minis boards (WotC, MaxMinis), but when I stopped playing and trading... well what's the point?
Likewise, when I get into a game, I'll hit the publisher's message boards for a bit, see if I can pick up any useful information. That usually results in one or two nuggets for every ten to twenty complaints about this or that element of the game and/or flame war... Not really worth it in the long run.
For a brief while I was hitting the "generic" boards (EN World, RPG.net and the like), but there's just too much stuff on those sites to bother sorting through, especially when any nuggets are sure to hit one of the blogs I'm subscribed to if they're "important."
No, any more I generally just stick to a couple Louisville, KY boards (hometown) and a Central Kentucky board (might be something crop up worth the hour drive).
The only one I read with any regularity any more is Canonfire. Every once in a while I'll still pass through Dragonsfoot or Knights & Knaves Alehouse just to see if any new thread titles catch my interest, but that's more of a quarterly endeavor at this point.
I used to be a lot more active, and frequented other boards. Nowadays I find the blogs are my choice for getting news and reading interesting ideas.
Oh, Jeff; I remember the BBS days well. And back in the day when AOL still charged, and before that when some of us paid $19.95 an hour to go on CompuServe. *shudder*
I frequent RPGsite, RPGnet and Dragonsfoot. I check in on several other sites on a more sporadic basis.
Definitely not frequenting them as much as I used to; even took a 2-month break from them a while back.
I find less and less use in message boards as time goes on, other than as a time-filler at work. The same discussions that were going on when the Dragon was new recur with disturbing regularity. Some boards have settled down to the same handful of posters shouting at one another. Most don't tolerate opinions that fall outside the norm for that site. Lots of people (mods, admins, posters alike...and I'm not just talking about a single board here) treat RPG discussion as Serious Business. Most discussions have little to do with actual play, anyway.
I've been visiting DDi and enworld's forums for 4e, recently. But mostly to see how other people feel about certain products.
I don't remember how they were years ago, I don't frequent forums much, in general. I'm usually there for information.
It's only increased recently because of my disappointment in how WotC has been handling D&D 4e's online initiative. Other than that I go looking for reviews and opinions on certain things.
I used to visit Necromancy Games's forums. I used to really like their style, but they're dead now, and I haven't checked out the new stuff the new company, who I can't remember their name. Dead Frog? Something like that.
Myth-Weavers was my big one, but a large part of things was the time commitment. I did enjoy the gaming I had on there, though.
Giant in the Playground forums are my other big, though I mainly frequent them to keep tabs on the anime thread and the non-RPG gaming.
I've just not really had much time for them.
Necromancer Games morped into Frog God I do believe.
I frequent Paizo and Kobold Quarterly. I infrequently stop by enworld and the ffg forums (for their 40k rpgs). When I'm looking for info about a specific game I might occasionally stop somewhere else.
The closest that I come to being a regular on any RPG message boards is being a part of two RPG-related groups on LinkedIn.
They're not very active - mainly because LinkedIn is a professional, rather than social, networking site, and there aren't very many industry folks in the groups. But that's cool, as once you're a grown-up, RPGs can't be the center of your life in the same way they can when your in high-school or home for the summer from collage. By the same token, since everyone uses their real names (pretty much - the fakes tend to be easy to spot), the trolling is much reduced, nearly to the point of non-existence.
I've been frequenting the http://rpg.stackexchange.com/ site - essentially a question and answer based community centered on RPGs - It's more Q&A driven that opinion or chat driven, so it has managed so far to avoid flame wars and trolling and the like
I came back into gaming last year via mostly old school blogs, and I tend to prefer blogs to boards. I don't like the message board interface for one, but I guess at this point in my life I don't have the patience to put up with anonymous dipshits entering "discussions" (whut-whoa! am I being an anonymous diphit hypocrite? Well, I'm 37, I've earned my hypocriticism, get used to it.). I prefer to evaluate each blogger on their own merits, and admittedly in terms of how they are received by others in the 'community'. Then I go to their blog. Forums and boards are people screaming at cross purposes about shit.
Funny, I decided a couple of days ago that I was done with forums and activated my blog :)
As I explained over there, current RPG message boards just aren't satisfying me in any way, shape or form. They tend to become monolithic over time and I feel guilty by association. Furthermore, I think blogs actually accomplish the same things and more. I get to share my thoughts, learn stuff and what's more, I don't bother people who aren't interested in whatever I have to say that day. With powerful networking tools and how blogs are linked through search engines, I think they're just plain better.
Maybe I'll change my mind but so far, I feel really good about the decision.
get into a game, I'll hit the publisher's message boards for a bit, see if I can pick up any useful information.
I stop by the Paizo.com message boards at least once a day.
Thanks for the feedback and comments, guys. Good, honest stuff.
I used to frequent the Greytalk listserv, but I grew tired of the various flamewars on the last. When Sean Reynolds threw up his hands and left the list, I decided I'd had enough as well.
I rarely, if ever, visit the major RPG forums; I've never found them particularly conducive to the kinds of conversations I wanted to have. Nowadays I pop into the Order 66 forums (http://d20radio.com) when I have a Star Wars: Saga Edition question, and head to Atomic Overmind Press (http://atomicovermind.com) to talk about my Ragnarok game.
Mostly though I just post to my gaming group's own forum. It sees a dozen posts or so a week, and that's usually enough to keep me busy. :)
Me. I tend to frequent just a few regularly. Dragonsfoot, Goblinoid Games, WEGFanForums, and RPG.net. Once every few months I will stop in at SJGames Forums just to see what is up at Steve Jackson but that is an infrequent thing anymore.
I try to avoid the trolls and flame wars when I go. All but RPG.net tend to be friendly communities with nice folk. Guess that is why I tend to visit them the most often.
Oh, and I got real fucking tired of The RPG Paran-er, Pundit, too. Sincerely, he really queered the whole deal for me, resulting in me throwing out the bathwater, baby and all, so sour was the taste in my mouth.
The only RPG message board I go to on a regular bases is the Palladium Books one. Have known some of the members there for over ten years.
A lot of the boards I used to go to are gone from the companies going out of business or just closing their boards.
I used to be on a bunch of mailing lists but they also died off. The same goes for the newsgroups.
I am about the same, just at different fora. More at RPGHaven, lest at RPGSite and RPGnet.
I'm surprised at the positive environment at RPG Revolution. I'll check out some of the others you guys have mentioned ;)
At the moment, I mostly just go to the RPG Site...which is kinda odd.
For me, at the moment? Less useful.
Mine has currently decreased...mostly because I am so damned busy right now. I only go to game/system specific boards when I am actively playing those games...I stopped going to The RPG Haven when it kept being down or refusing to let me post...RPG.net is generally too much traffic for me to more than browse on the schedule I'm currently on...so that leaves The RPG Site, pretty much.
Hopefully that will change if/when I alter my current employment status.

I plan to use this jacket for the snowboard season and I am very happy with it. It feels warm and it fits well. The pockets are great (easy access but hidden so it's stylish) and the waist gaiter is going to be nice on pow days. Only downside is I wish the hood could be removed, but it shouldn't get in the way.

Comments about dcshoes Men's Amo Snowboard Jacket:
DC customer service was great, I ordered the XL first and when it came it was too small. They took the jacket back with no problem and I was able to order the XXL. I typically wear XL, so I would consider the jacket to be a size too low. So an XL might be closer to a large, and an XXL closer to XL.

What Are Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs?
Have you noticed masses of mottled brown insects gathering on your house in fall and spring? Or dead spots on leaves, fruits and vegetables in the garden? These are signs of brown marmorated stink bugs, introduced accidentally from Asia. First identified in Allentown, PA in 1996, their numbers have been growing quickly in the Mid-Atlantic. They are also found in several Midwestern and Western states. The name stink bug comes from scent glands that release a pungent odor when the insect is disturbed or crushed. Stink bugs only harm plants and do not bite or sting. You can learn about controlling stink bugs outdoors in this article.

Arundel Sideloader/Othersideloader Cage Combo $113.95
Arundel Sideloader bottle cages were designed specifically to address bottle access issues for folks that ride small or compact geometry frames. Rather than forcing you to pull (or attempt to pull) your bottle fully upward, its minimalist profile allows you to pull the bottle up just a bit, then to move it outward to prevent the top of the bottle from smacking the bottom of the top tube. The only problem with the Sideloader is that it's designed for bottles to be pulled in one direction. That's why they soon made the OtherSideloader so that, if you prefer to reach for your bottle with one particular hand, you can have easy and natural access for both bottles from the same side of the bike.
All you need is a pair -- one of each. That's exactly why we've created this Arundel Sideloader/OtherSideloader Carbon Fiber Bottle Cage Combo. One of each will give you the option to have both accessed from the right side of your bike or from the left. Our combo will include one of each in three different color options -- Oil Slick, Red, or Silver.

Best for tight places
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Arundel is the best cage around and I think everyone knows that. I've been skeptical of sideloaders for many years but this past season it was impossible to use a regular cage. I went with this cage and it worked great. Be sure to really think about which hand you use to drink though. I ended up getting a right hand loader and the left hand may have worked out better. Also, keep in mind the location of the shock adjustment lever (ie CTD), I would frequently hit the lever and kick the shock out of climb mode.
