text: Product InfoOverview REFLEX 5 The REFLEX5 is the latest version of our pro racing sail. Based on the success of last year's 12.5 Reflex4, we have transferred the 9 batten layout to the smaller slalom sizes. This enables us to rely more on the batten skeleton for stability, and less on the mast. The reduced luff curve allows for faster sail response, and gives a much lighter, slippery feeling. / 9 BATTEN LAYOUT (6.2 AND UP) / REDUCED DOWNFORCE IN LARGER SIZES / REDUCED WEIGHT Technology 3&4 ROLLER TACK PULLEY Roller tack pulleys are matched to the sails downhaul requirements and aligned for friction free downhauling and threading ease. Rig your sails with the Severne Hardware Division extensions for function and simplicity. BOOM HEIGHT REFERENCE Boom height gauge for ease of reference. CLEW POSITIONS POSITION 1 This is the recommended setting and carries the adjustable outhaul fitting. It creates the perfect balance between a comfortable clew height and leech tension. This is the setting that Cyril, Steve and Bjoern will use for 99% of their PWA slalom races. POSITION 2 This setting is lower and further in. It softens the feel of the sail and may be more comfortable for smaller, lighter riders looking for more control in higher winds. DIRECT DRIVE TENSIONERS The DDT 4 and DDT 5 tensioners directly connect the tube batten to the leech of the sail. This new design eliminates the heavy section of tube that is needed for the standard batten tensioner and being smaller, has superior aerodynamics. It is used on all lower tension battens in the OVERDRIVE R4 and the REFLEX4. DROPPED CLEW The Dropped Clew allows for the reduction of boom and luff lengths; reducing the swing weight, increasing stability and promoting manoeuvrability. MOLDED SOFT EDGE With recessed grooving, covering any vulnerable stitching the moulded soft edge encloses the hard edge long the foot of the sail and protects the stitching from wear along the board non-skid. MOLDED TACK FAIRING Protects your board from impact and neatly covers the foot detailing. It incorporates the rope stash pocket for easy storage of your downhaul rope. Reflex System Inhibits the draft moving backwards in the sail by allowing the leech to twist and flex behind the Reflex Tensioners. The rider is able to accelerate through the gust without a loss of control. Check out Reflex System for a more detailed analysis. Spiderfibre Race SpiderFibre on the leech of the sail massively increases the perimeter strength and inhibits vertical stretch between the sail panels. STABILIZOR PANEL A key component in stabilising the leading edge, the STABILIZOR PANEL is a panel of thicker 188 Monofilm. This material has minimal stretch in all directions and enables the high skin tension to create a very rigid profile for instant acceleration and maximum wind range. Another benefit of the low stretch properties of 188 Monofilm is that the designed sail shape is maintained for longer as there is less long term stretch. This is pretty important as there are high downhaul loads which can cause most race sails to lose their original shape quickly. XL PERFORMANCE Used on the REFLEX4, the XL Cam maximizes leading edge stability by allowing increased cam pressure to be distributed over a wider surface area. Rotation is improved by the increased the leverage of the longer cam. Mast wear is reduced due to less friction from the 8 rollers.

Chinese security forces fired indiscriminately on Tibetan protesters in 2008, beat and kicked others until they lay motionless on the ground, a Human Rights Watch (HRW) report says.
The 73-page report, released on Thursday, says Chinese security forces tortured protesters and others during arrests and in detention by beating them and depriving them of food and sanitary conditions.
It points out that hundreds of Tibetans arrested in the crackdown remain unaccounted for.
The unrest, which began in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, was the toughest anti-government uprising that China has faced from Tibetans in nearly 50 years.
China says 22 people died in the riots, but overseas Tibet supporters say many more were killed in the crackdown.
Human Rights Watch said its researchers interviewed 203 Tibetan refugees and visitors outside China between March 2008 and April 2010.
The report features rare eyewitness accounts detailing excesses in the unrest.
Beaten motionlessWitnesses were quoted as saying that on March 14, 2008, security forces in Lhasa opened fire on protesters near the Barkhor Sqaure, the heart of the old city.
At several rallies, security forces also hit demonstrators with batons and rifle butts until they were no longer moving, the New York-based rights body says.
As protests spread across the Tibetan plateau, security forces shot at secondary school students headed to a demonstration and at monks and civilians marching toward government buildings.
"When the soldiers showed up later, they threw tear gas. A gas canister hit my leg and I couldn't walk any more"
Victim's testimony
The report cites a 24-year-old Tibetan woman who was near the Barkhor Square and said protesters roamed freely on March 14 until the afternoon, when troops showed up and opened fire.
"When the soldiers showed up later, they threw tear gas. A gas canister hit my leg and I couldn't walk any more," the report quoted the woman as saying.
"Then there was indiscriminate shooting and we saw two people shot dead in front of us."
A 33-year-old monk from a monastery west of Lhasa said he was beaten with clubs and sticks by guards at detention facilities where he was held, and beaten again, with sand-filled rubber tubes, when sentenced to a year in a labour camp.Nicholas Bequelin, Asia researcher for the group, said: "Over the past two years, security forces acted in a way that is completely disproportionate to the actual threat to public order."The Chinese government could do something about it. This is not about their sovereignty in Tibet, this is about how their security forces behave."Angry China
The unrest started with several days of anti-government protests by Buddhist monks in Lhasa, before spreading to communities across China's west. Tibetans attacked Chinese-owned shops and homes.
China has Beijing has sought to quash accounts of rights abuses, flooding the region with troops and has put Tibetans under tighter scrutiny, reduced the flow of international tourists and allowed in only a few foreign reporters under government escort.
The Chinese government also criticised the the Human Rights Watch report, accusing it of being bias.
Qin Gang, the Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, said in a statement that the events in Lhasa were "serious, violent criminal incidents that caused great loss to the lives and property of the local people".He said the authorities enforced the law in a legal, civilised way and that ethnic customs and human dignity were respected.

Running ISPConfig on a vserver?

Running ISPConfig on a vserver?
I am considering installing ISPConfig on a vserver. Before I actually do so, I would like to ask here if that is possible at all? I know there are some limitations (not too sure which exactly though) when using a vserver, especially concerning kernel-related stuff.
Let's have a closer look at the system requirements of ISPConfig:
Apache Webserver version 1.3.12 or later / 2.0.40 or later
Sendmail or Postfix
ProFTP as standalone version or vsftpd as inetd/xinetd/standalone version
PHP 4.0.5 or newer as Apache module
MySQL data base
a POP3/IMAP daemon that supports either the traditional Unix-Mailbox format (e.g.
gnu-pop3d, qpopper, ipop3d, popa3d or vm-pop3d) or the Maildir format (e.g.
OpenSSL and mod_ssl for the creation of SSL virtual hosts
I think that these applications shouldn't be a problem. With the exception of procmail I've already used each of the above mentioned apps.
I read that I would have to compile bind with --disable-linux-caps to make it work on a vserver. Apart from that I guess it'll work.
Quota Package
I have no clue about this one. Could there be any problems with it? I have asked a rather generic question in the official vserver irc channel about quota support in a vserver and this is what I got:
per context quota on a shared partition is not implemented on the 2.6/vs2.0 version yet
quota inside a guest on a separate partition (e.g. lvm, evms, loop) works fine
To be honest, I cannot make much of it. Maybe you could explain what exactly ISPConfig needs quota to do, so that I can go back to the vserver folks to ask them about it.
iptables or ipchains
iptables/ipchains don't work properly. For example, a simple iptables -L produces this error message:
modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.31/modules.dep (No such file or directory)
iptables v1.2.11: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
I believe this is a vserver limitation and there is nothing I can do about it.
On the other hand I have full access to eth0 of the host system which probably means that anything related to ISPConfig doing traffic statistics wouldn't work properly, would it?
Overall, do you think ISPConfig will work on a vserver?

|by Mr Credit Card
One of the perks of my American Express Platinum Card is the International Airline Program where you can get a free business class companion ticket if you a qualifying ticket through American Express Platinum Travel Service. Recently, I was planning on a trip to Asia and since it is potentially such a long flight, I wanted to check if it made sense to make use of the International Airline Program. I called up Amex and had them research three airlines that would potentially take me to my destination – China Airlines. Jet Airways and Asiana Airlines. Prior to that, I checked out all of these airlines website. With the exception of Jet Airways, the websites for China Airlines and Asiana were not particularly user friendly. I managed to get a quick quote from a travel agent friend.
After a couple of email exchanges with Amex, they came back with various permutations and the cost of each. I would say that the business class fares were comparable to what I was quoted by another travel agent. Only this time, I could one and get one free.
But here is the kicker with this program. Mrs Credit Card is also allowed to make use of it. Because we have three kids, in theory, if we decided to travel business class for an international flight, we just have to pay for three tickets. I will make use of my card to get one free and Mrs Credit Card will make use of hers (which is just a supplementary card – ie authorized user and not her own card).
At the end of the day we decided not to bite the bullet, but instead spread out the trip and booked coach (really price difference). But I thought I should mention this an also update with their program partners for this year.

I've worked in both settings, those where people go so far as to dress up in costumes and those settings in which showing up in black and orange attire might result in some disciplinary action. So, with Halloween being the start of the holiday season in my mind, I've been wondering if you all celebrate holidays at work? Do you dress up for Halloween? Do more people share candy? Do you organize potluck lunches or anything else that's special? If so, do you think it helps morale at your workplace or is it a distraction from everyone doing productive things?
Let me know--I'm curious! :) Happy Halloween!

We color outside the lines!!
In Latin we are Sinister. (Right-handers are dexterous. Hmm.) In French we are Gauche. Really??
Today is Left-Handers Day , a very special annual holiday during which left-handed people are encouraged to force right-handed people to do everything their way. (At least according to the event's website. This is really official, okay?) www.lefthandersday.com/
HEre is the Jezebel.com site talking about it: jezebel.com/5934262/hooray-for-left+handers-day?comment=51823962?utm_campaign=socialflow_jezebel_facebook&utm_source=jezebel_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
I went to Catholic school in the 1960s but I never had that mythical nun who would rap the knuckles of left handers. But she did always give me an F in penmanship. Which always got me in trouble which always gave me an "Oh what's the use" attitude about my grades. I always had an F on my report card no matter how hard I tried.
Sister tried to enforce a "rule" where everyone tilted their paper the same way, wrist must be straight, writing slanted the same way. For lefties, you can only get two out of three. I have a hook wrist.
But there was one girl in my class who drove Sister nuts. She followed all of the rules. ALL of them. But she did like Star Trek's Captain Kirk in the Kobyashi Maru scenario -- She rewrote the rules. She wrote UP SIDE DOWN! Starting in the lower left and working back up to the upper right.
And it irritated Sister to no end. So satisfying.
So coloring outside the lines, indeed.
I got a book this week:
The Little Red Book of Running by Scott Douglas
This motivational poster was inspired by tip 249 of 250 and by the fact that the start of the Half Marathon on Saturday was delayed several minutes.
Good advice indeed.
It rained a lot yesterday. That being the case, I figured that ... I HOPED that ... it meant a dry cold front had passed through the area. When I got up and prepared to leave, I didn't even bother poking my nose outside, I was so sure.
And of course, I was wrong. As soon as I headed for the truck, I got a nose full of humid air. The cloud deck was low. There was a little new rain on the pavement. I was still convinced that it was going to be a cooler, nicer day than last week.
It was not. Except for the fact that it was mostly cloudy for the entire duration of the race, it was almost identical to Sunday at Riley's Rumble. And while the hills were not quite as brutal, they were not entirely different from what I run all the time in Catonsville.
In my mind, it just HAD to be better conditions than Sunday, so I started out much better but by about halfway through the course, I started to feel it and I started to drag. Everything was ok with me. No ankle or knee pain. Oddly enough, where I did hurt was in my left big toe. Weird, right?
I finished in 2:35:15. Better than the last two half marathons. It looks like as long as it's hot, my times will be not as good as I would like. My current PR for a Half is 2:06:38. That's OK. I have several races coming up in the fall. We will get back on track.
Today felt like a Saturday. It was last weekday of vacation. She(WMBO) was home. But it rained into the afternoon and I got little done except to watch some TV.
I felt like a slug.
On the other hand, tomorrow is my second Half Marathon in six days so a resting day was certainly in order. We went out to an Italian restaurant so I got my carb load.
I think I am ready. All I need to do now is get laid out, relax, and go to bed so I get a good night's sleep.
We are home from North Carolina. I have mixed feelings on that score. Monday was the only day worhty of a beach visit. The other days were kind of dreary.
Today before we left for home, we went to the "oldest winery in North Carolina." I joked to She(WMBO), "Yeah, 1963."
I was off by only 13 years: 1976.
Ok, so that means that the wine industry in NC in young.
Sadly, I could only be a supporting character to everyone else's fun because I am allergic to sulfites and sulfur dioxode. And Unless it's organic wine, everyone puts it in.
My biggest problem with vacations is that we eat out every evening. I have no control over the food in the restaurant and I have to listen to comment from my brother in law like "Well, I don't care about what you think, but I'm having the french fries." Well, you know what, I don't care if you do have the french fries and I am not entirely sure why you think I care ... but I am not allowed to say that to him. I have to be polite. Yes dear.
The other problem is that I don't get enough work out in. My gear is at home. The YMCA is 25 miles away. If I disappear for a run, I am being rude.
I know! Even if I don't work out, my autonomic functions still burn 2000 calories a day and if I eat righ, it won't be a problem. But still ...
Then there was the drive home. Six plus hours in the car. Just sitting. And my Restless Leg Syndrome would kick in. I was going nuts.
I am home, on my own turf. I can set up my bike in its trainer or hit the treadmill. I have some outside work to do tomorrow.
It's all part of living the life.

actually your being discriminating
saying your gf was hot has nothing to do with the subject
and no. i dont spend time with ppl like that
Guys and girls out there how many of you get discriminated for appreciating manga and anime because I know I do I mean my girlfriend broke up with me(she was really hot) because I told her I spend about two hours a day watching anime and that I collect manga. I mean why do humans have to judge so severely because they don't understand something?
actually your being discriminating
saying your gf was hot has nothing to do with the subject
and no. i dont spend time with ppl like that
im really doin this!! start making money today!
Its just the way of the world man. Everyone discriminates someone for something. Even if you don't realize it, you do it! Everyone does! Its just because of the ignorance of people. Not saying everyone is stupid! I'm just saying that no one is perfect and not everyone has the ability to accept Anime and Manga as more than just childish. Everyone has different fews and thats what makes us all diverse. If you girlfriend brakes up with you just because you watch anime and collect manga then she isn't the one for you man. So go and find you that beautiful girl that is into anime and manga even more than you!
I discriminate on people like your girlfriend! No offense, but if she is hot on the outside and she acts and thinks like that then all she is doing it covering up the ugliness that overwhelms her on the inside. Sorry I don't like to be mean I just like speaking my mind
What I'm watching Right Now:
WishIcouldlivemore (Jan 23, 2008)
People are ignorant, but humans are able to over come ignorance. I try my best not to Discriminat but sometimes I do. Ignorance is the down fall of socity but it can be over come.
People discriminat for many reason but to me they discriminat becasue they think they are better then every one else
92% of teens moved to rap. I am one of the 8% rebelions
Discrimination is usually linked to fear of the unknown. She probably doesn't know much about anime/manga and she possibly has a prejudice towards it.
Educating people can overcome this. In this case, you need to make her see that there's nothing bad/childish/evil/whatever about anime and manga and the problem should be solved.
Or maybe she just doesn't like you ditching her for 2 hours a day instead of spending it with her (sure shows your priorities). You sound more upset that you lost a hot girlfriend then anything. Why would you even mention that? Just how shallow was your relationship that it was a factor in your disappointment? And how can you get angry that she left you for a shallow reason when you were with her for an equally toe dipping one?
l Stone Hold l Now We're Cooking! l Thanks to Kaos for the awesome sig!
amen to that.Originally Posted by Marcel_C
yea i honestly dont like anyone like that. and i know i do discriminate but i try not to.
I get it alot though. Like they say its stupid cause its cartoons. They think that their is no importance in it at all. As if you get nothing out of it.
Like alot of people i know think that if you like anime then your like a porno freak and im not one.
Yet they put everyone together. And to me i think that their are just as many people lookin at that stuff that dont watch anime as do people who do watch anime.
so yea.
Discrimination, discrimination, discrimination... The cases you're describing seem to be based out of the human urge to superiority.
People label everything, and then associate traits with them, negative, positive. Most of the time, things that differ from a person's norms are labeled negatively, so those things will be below and worse than the things that a person likes; basically, you like something "good," then you're good. You like something "bad", you're bad. Of course, if you're on the "bad side", then you have less power or value than the "good side". Again, people label "different" things negatively so that they feel better about themselves. Look at discrimination against women, minority races, and homosexuality; people ahve made themselves better by describing everything else as "bad".
Think of it as, human social selective breeding. The people against you don't want your genes to intermingle with theirs, because your genes might actually be better than theirs, so they're trying to butt you out. Something like that. Studying sociobiology will clear your questions up right away.

Philippine terminal operator International Container Terminal Services is buying a minority stake in a terminal in Pakistan's largest port, Karachi.
ICTSI said in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange that its subsidiary, ICTSI Mauritius, signed an agreement with the HS Group and JS Co. for the purchase of a 35 percent stake in the Pakistan International Container Terminal.
The transaction would involve a tender offer in the Karachi Stock Exchange. "ICTSI Mauritius will offer to purchase the shares at a minimum offer price that will be determined in accordance with the takeover laws of Pakistan," the company said.
The transaction is subject to the approval of Pakistan regulators and PICT's creditors.
PICT has an annual capacity of 750,000 20-foot equivalent container units. For the fiscal year ending June 2011, the terminal handled 669,806 TEUs, an increase of 11 percent year-over-year.
In addition to extensive domestic operations in the Philippines, ICTSI also has a presence in 16 other countries. Last month, it signed a 20-year concession to operate a new container terminal in Lagos, Nigeria.
In January, ICTSI successfully raised $150 million in perpetual bonds that were consolidated into a similar offering issued a year earlier. The company said the extra funds were for further acquisitions.
ICTSI reported a 2011 net profit of $130.5 million, an increase of 33 percent year-over-year, on revenue that was up 26 percent to $664 million.

Improved Content Marketing With Facebook Graph Search siegemedia.comSubmitted by explorionary Jan 29 2013 in Content 2 Comments Discuss (2) |
Facebook recently debuted their Graph Search functionality, and I was lucky enough to get it rolled out to me yesterday morning. Upon getting to play with the new search bar, I found myself impressed – it's clearly a better interface, and while perhaps not a "game changer", it definitely improves upon the ability to search on Facebook, and it has the potential to be built upon quite nicely.
David Cohen @explorionary
Based on what little we all know about Graph Search, and where it's going in the future, I felt like this was the most well thought-through post on the subject.
Ross Hudgens @RossHudgens
Thanks David. No breakthrough strategies here, just some hands-on impressions on first usage as a content marketer. Hope to use it successfully in the future.

Brian Lamb to Step Down as C-SPAN CEO
It is the end of an era for the C-SPAN suite of public affairs cable networks. Brian Lamb, who founded C-SPAN in 1978 and has served as its CEO (and as a program host) ever since, is transitioning to a new role as executive chairman of the board.
In his place, Rob Kennedy and Susan Swain will become co-CEOs of the channel beginning April 1. The pair had been co-presidents of the channels since 2006, and both had been with the company since the 1980′s.
"Susan Swain, Rob Kennedy, and I have been preparing the company for this transition for several years," said Lamb in a statement. "While each has their areas of expertise, Rob and Susan complement each other professionally. I'm pleased that our Board has given their partnership its unanimous endorsement. They also have a great senior management team with the right skill sets to lead C-SPAN forward."
More information, after the jump.

Tyger, on Jan 20 2005, 12:43 AM, said:
Hello to one and all. I'm Tyger. (Nobody else would actually ADMIT being me...) I'm old. Ignore the creaking, that's just my knees. Been playing since '89 when it was a PGP and a few hundred paintballs for a whole day. I'm still playing, probably a little slower than I used to be. In the Brigade system I'm a "Sabre", play any position that's needed. I figure someone's gotta do it, so it'll probably be me. And I'll play anything. Woods, Scenario, Urban, Indoor, Speedball, Tournaments, Rec, Pump, Stock Class, open semi... who cares. If I'm flinging paint at somoene else, and we're all having fun, then I'm happy.
I also run Web Dog Radio, a paintball video site with tips, tactics, and techniques. Free to look around in, and there's a lot of woods stuff and old school videos there too. I also co-wrote the "Complete Guide to Paintball", currently writing for a couple of the magazines, all that good stuff. I'm here mainly to be a nusance and the occasional voice of sanity in an otherwise insane world. No, wait, that was Star Trek again. DANG!
And don't ask about the injuries. It's a long story that'll end up as a web page on my personal site sometime... HEY! I'm old! Where's the rocking chairs around here? Young whippersnappers... back in my day we had to walk uphill both ways in a blinding snowstorm to play paintball in our bare feet to buy paint at $1 for 10 balls and we didn't have barrel plugs either! Wow this is tiny print....

After high school I was planning on going into Marines, but I was diagnosed with diabetes and everything sort've fell apart. I began playing paintball to show I could get out and do stuff, and give 110% no matter what.
I'm involved with two teams. One is my very own Arkk Angelz that I've led through this year, and I'm also part of a still forming scenerio team that will be attending Black Hawk Down and Oklahoma D-Day events in the future (Many of our members have already had the pleasure in doing so).
For the guy on the field, I just do my job in having fun and completing the objectives, regardless of victory. If you've seen the film Black Hawk Down, then you'll have a good idea on how my teams and I move, which was largely affected by the fact that the local field has dozens of buildings, as well as a base-perimeter wall and one of the largest trench systems in paintball. Everything is fluid and precise.

Position: Right Flank
I'm a living oddity, so sue me. I like paintballing cause it lets me exercise my mind and body, and lets my creativity go wild (in designing new ways to mark the enemy.) I'm strong-willed, loyal, intelligent, and a firm believer in the value of hard work. I prefer CocaCola cold, in a glass bottle with no ice. I enjoy outdoorsmanship (camping with no technology and as little equipment as possible), and blacksmithing, both in theory and practice. I live by a strict set of "rules" which I hold above everything else. I believe that living free is better than living safe, and that people in our times are too soft.
I'm an old man at heart, but I'm really only 17, don't let my age fool you, I'm dangerous and competent.
I dunno what else to say, so to avoid saying something stupid, I'll just clamp down now.
Cheers Mates.

I'm Doug Walker, new to the forum but have been playing for a year and a half. I'm 35yrs old and I can't tell you how happy I am to finally be able to play this game. I've wanted to play for years " since I was about 19-20 yrs old", from the first time I'd heard of it actually. My son Brandon who is 15, plays also. Which was sort of the catalyst that allowed me to finally get into paintball. Something we could do together, that was the angle I used with my wife. And once I got that green light, I've been out of control ever since (her words) . I don't get to play as much as I'd like, but that will change dramatically this year. We're attending 3 scenarios in about 5 weeks time, I hope my bones/back can handle it.
Outside of having a good time it is important to me to play w/ honor , safety and sportsmanship in mind. That is a focal point with us and the team I have started "Walkers Rangers". As far as my style of play and or position, I only play scenarios/ woodsball. I don't care much for speedball or some of the attitudes that come with it. Having fun means more than being that competitive to me. I prefer the Broadsword position, as I'm too old and heavy to go running around like a mad man- although I have been known to make some bold moves " most resulting in some form of injury". I guess in a nutshell I play paintball because I like the challenge, and when I'm out there the rest of the world ceases to exist and I can feel like a kid again. Even though I'll feel like an decrepit old man the day after.

My teammates call me Wolf.
I have a paintball team called TAPS (Tactical Assault Paintball Squad)
I have a stock X7 with E-trigger, and I use a Recon 6 Vest.
I recently bought about $50 of gear from SpecOps Shop, and I was wondering if I could get that as points on my Brigade page.
I'm really getting into paintball, even though it's been like a month since I started, and so I wouldn't mind leveling up to an Officer.

The reason I chose Mastiff as my name is because of the Neapolitan Mastiff(from Naples, Italy). They are large, powerful, fearless war dogs whose loyalty to their masters knows no bounds. The Romans used their direct ancestors as dogs of war and as gladiators in the arenas. They were pitted against lions and tigers as well as men. The upper class of the Roman society would keep several of them on their property to protect their families and their valuables from thieves. They are gentle giants and pretty lazy but this is not to be taken lightly. It will protect its family and its family's property with its life. I feel very akin to these animals not only because we are from the same place but also because I think of myself as a gentle giant that will protect his family and property with my life, and I have owned them. This is also the way I play paintball or any sport for that matter. I am gentle with my teammates but I will murder the opposition. I will destroy them by any means paintball. I like to be the walking tank(full of ammo and 'nades) but I still move quick and get in the mix when I need to. I apologize if I bored you, I thought I'd save some of you the trouble of having to ask.
I am new to woodsball(paintball in general) and to this forum and the brigade(gee Clarence look at your post count and join date, I'm sure they can tell). I have only been playing for about a month maybe 2 months. I am glad I found this site so I can connect with other players in my area and all across the globe. I have a Tippmann X7 with the Flatline barrel and a Trinity Stock. I have a red dot sight on it but it doesn't really work too well with the Flatline barrel. I play whatever position I need to play so I guess you can pretty much say I'm a Sabre. I'd like to move into a Sniper position some day and I am in the process of saving up and piecing together a marker specifically for "sniping". I have been looking at a Tippmann A5 or 98C with a Q loader system. Any thoughts on my choice would be greatly appreciated. I hope to learn from everyone here and I hope that I can contribute to the community as well. Ci vediamo dopo!

Well, I am here to confess some serious alcohol abuse: I dumped a beer. The beer was a bomber of Idaho's Laughing Dog's Dogzilla Black IPA. I deemed it undrinkable.
First of all, WTH is a black IPA anyway? I ashamedly fell victim to it and made a purchase. Lured in with its promises of delicious NW IPAs, which I go gaga over, complemented with a "dark malt twist". I thought it was a good buy. Stupid me, I should have known it would suck from its contradictory title.
Laughing Dog should have labeled this a sour ale. Sure its hoppy, but a pale color is necessary for an IPA too, so let's just be honest. Now I think they are just using a marketing ploy. This is not a good sour ale either. The smell is medicinal and awkward, and the taste is straight bitter hop and sour. I am embarrassed to say this, but I'd rather have purchased a 22 of natty light.
Does anyone like this stuff?
Tried a Black IPA at Pizza Port a month ago. Thankfully it was a sample and I didn't get stuck with a full pint. Dark malts and to many hops don't seems to work well together.
I had a Black IPA recently and loved it. It was definitely unique, but to my liking. I really wish though that they wouldn't label beers as an India PALE ale if they are not though. Why not call it an IDA (India Dark Ale)? Just one of my pet peeves.
Make Beer, Not War.
Not sure if you would like it, but try Iron Horse Brewing (Ellensburg, WA) Black IPA. It's hoppy and a bit bitter, but definately not sour and medicinal.
Hmm. I always thought this would be an interesting idea to try. Though perhaps if it sucks it's not such a great idea after all.
Hey some guys might like this style, so if it sounds good to you brew it. The one I had just wasn't great, but you might brew a fantastic beer.
Did you sit on it a while and taste it again before you tossed it?!?!
Don't feel bad about dumping a few ounces of beer you don't like. Sometimes, a beer just sucks. I did the same thing not long ago with a bottle of Sam Adams Winter Lager.
Dumping a whole batch is an entirely different story...
I stay away from Laughing Dog... sweet beer, and I can never finish a pint.
Haven't had a good Laughing Dog yet. Black IPA's are not all bad... I had one before )not enough coffee this morning to remember), but it was not LD.

Cedar fire civil suit on the line Friday
Regardless of the time the calls were made, there is at least one other allegation at issue in the suit: whether or not pilots were manning the closest air base to the spot where the fire started.
The plaintiffs also want the courts to grant the suit class-action status to include anyone who suffered losses in the wildfire.
To that end, Grotefeld argued in court documents that court should not address the merits of the suit —— or whether it should be tossed —— until it resolves the issue of whether it can move forward as a class action case.
The origins of the Cedar fire were also the heart of a criminal case, and last month, a 34-year-old novice hunter pleaded guilty to setting the blaze.
Sergio Martinez, of West Covina, told the judge that he was lost and dehydrated when he set a fire, put it out and set it again, adding that he tried to quash it again, but "it was too late." Martinez faces up to five years in prison when he is sentenced in August.
The civil matter will be heard in an El Cajon courtroom on Friday.

Keeping Mother Cabrini's California legacy alive
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (The Tidings) - In the summer of 1905, 25 years after founding the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Italy, Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini - at the invitation of Bishop Thomas J. Conaty - came to Los Angeles to serve a burgeoning Italian immigrant population. "I feel that a great deal of good could be done by [your Sisters] in this city in our work among the Italians," the bishop wrote in a letter.
This story was made available to Catholic Online by permission of The Tidings (www.the-tidings.com), official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

My mother and her two sisters (twins) were at the Regina Coeli Orphanage starting in 1919. I don't know how long they stayed there. Are there any records available for this time period?

After many years of working on my memori of my youth living next door at 646 North Hill Street next door to Mother Cabrini Convent on north Hill street in Los Angeles, the Convent has a special place and meaning in my heart of happier times while living there , I spent so much time visiting and playing at the convent with the orphan children when they would come from the Mother Cabrini home in Burbank during the summers. To my surprise I went on the interent in search of my Covent as I call it and and it was all there including a small photo of the covent on Hill Street , and information on my stone grotto that was such a special place for me . to read that it had been saved and remvoved to Sunland California.
If you would be so kind as to inform me as to where I can locate and see additional photos of the convent on North Hill street and the stone grotto of the Virgin Mary , I would appreciate it. Thank you for the memories . Celia T. Garcia ceniceros

I attended 1,2,3 &4th grade there, right before they closed the school, ( I think they finally allowed boys!!!!) and havent looked into the subject unitl I suddenly thought about the school this morning. I loved school, and loved it there. Yes, it was hard, but I remember the uniforms, (especially the white ones) May day, and celebrations of Holy Days. I remember the best teachers! Sister Jovanina (spelling??) and Sister Regina!! I espeically remember the grotto up near the fancy entrance and the huge stone angel in the play ground. What ever happened to these wondrous aritfacts? Changing schools to Divine Saviour and the to St Dominics were just never the same.

I attended Villa Cabrini Academy in the 1950's and it was a life changing experience. The sisters were doing the Lord's work and it opened my teenage eyes to the work that needed to be done when I saw one of the "babies" who had been deposited there for the sisters to care for crying. The sisters were spread so thin trying to care for children that no one wanted. They were wonderful. I was a boarding student myself, and I learned a lot about the heart.

Villa Cabrini and the nuns were key to my family getting through our mother's tuberculosis. We were there just one year in the mid 1950's. The memories are huge.

FBI investigating high-speed trading outfits
Published on Apr 1, 2014 11:17 AM
(REUTERS) - US federal agents are investigating whether high-speed trading companies violate US laws by using fast-moving market information not available to other traders, a FBI spokesman confirmed on Monday.
Launched by the Federal Bureau of Investigation about a year ago, the investigation called the High-Speed Trading Initiative, is still in its primary stages, a senior FBI official and an agency spokesman told the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the story.
The spokesman who spoke to the Journal said high-speed trading based on information about orders that other investors do not have access to and hence putting them at a disadvantage could violate insider-trading laws.
Separately, an FBI spokesman, who did not want to be identified by name, told Reuters the agency was probing high-frequency traders front-running others' trades by getting to exchanges first, among other areas.

But it's not a great movie. It wants to be great; it marries a heavy-hitting tradition of wartime storytelling with the bravado of a Hollywood blockbuster, the kind whose trailer promises to testify to "the atrocities of war" and "the enduring power of love." With confidence and ambition, Engagement courses through countless lives and scenes, troweling into the pasts of its minor characters (and digging up delicious details) to posit a comprehensive picture of postwar France and funneling it all through the weeping eyes of a precious heroine (Mathilde, played by Tautou) and her precious devotion to Manech (Gaspard Ulliel), her childhood love. But it's too much, and too familiar, to succeed. Hollywood has given Jeunet its blessing, and Jeunet has made a film worthy of Hollywood -- which, alas, is not saying much.
The film opens in war, in the deep and flooded trenches of the French front lines. Manech is a boy, just 17, and already shell-shocked. When he arranges to get his hand shot, he's court-martialed and exiled into the no man's land between the French and German camps, where he'll meet almost certain death. And then is heard no more. Mathilde, back in the idyllic Brittany countryside, refuses to believe that he is lost. She struts off to Paris, hires a detective, and becomes one herself, hunting down every snippet of story that might lead her to her love. Piece by piece, Manech returns, if only to die yet again, in the mouth of another contact, many of whom swear he couldn't have made it (though none saw him die).
The plot, for starters, has been around the block. It comes most immediately from a novel, by Sébastien Japrisot, and before that from countless other writers, and before them from Homer, in Penelope, who weaves away a score of years while waiting for her warring husband. The film seems to know as much. Its present (1920, mostly) is filmed in sepia, as if to remind us of the aged and weathered photographs from that time, and also to say that everything has already happened and is already a memory. (The war scenes, by contrast, offer a rich palette of gunmetal gray, trench-mud gray, corpse-in-gray-uniform gray, and the charcoal-gray smoke of explosions.) Save for a bit of wrangling with chronology, Jeunet does nothing to refresh the story; he doesn't even bother to make Manech likable, or compelling, so that we wish for his return. Of course, it's Mathilde's character that counts -- but shouldn't we feel that her quarry is worthy of such dogged pursuit?
Aesthetically, Engagement is a feast. Every scene is crammed with costumes, sets and props -- or if not those, then with a sense of its own important beauty. The film, in fact, is stuffed to bursting, overwhelming in its richness; can Jeunet wring emotions from a parade of visual treasures? (He seems to want to.) This copiousness is a problem. The film feels sodden, drenched not merely with mud and rain and period detail but with sentiment, consistently advertising either the wretchedness of war or the grief-stricken longing of its heroine. In the end, there isn't much room for audience participation. Even the score, by the minimal-leaning Angelo Badalamenti (a critical member of David Lynch's creepiness factory), swells with urging. Feel the longing, it implores. Sing, O muse, of themes both ancient and universal. And so on.
Why does Jeunet want to create something that's already been done? Isn't originality his strength? Both Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children offered rivetingly bleak, haunting visions that we'd never seen before; Amélie was forgettable, but it had the Jeunet-esque charm of the quirky detail. In A Very Long Engagement, Jeunet drags out one of the oldest of stories, hefts it a couple of inches, and then hammers it onto the gigantic backdrop of the Major Hollywood Production, replete with explosions, crescendos, crinolines, and long shots of bustling plazas. The point, presumably, is to sweep us into an overpowering experience, but the result is nothing but allusive and memorial. And boring. This film is boring, at least partly because it is trying desperately to be big.
Maybe next time, Jeunet will refuse the Hollywood millions and return to his creative roots. But to hope for that -- well, that would be akin to believing that a long-lost lover, missing in action for more than three years, would some day return home.

With Atlanta air traffic paralyzed due to Monday's unusual winter storm that dumped three to six inches of snow on the city, many would-be travelers remain snowbound in hotels until they can safely fly or drive home.
Movie director @MSiega, co-executive producer and director of The Vampire Diaries TV series, sent out this message on Twitter on Monday: "Snow day. Stuck at the hotel in Downtown Atlanta - 9AM and I am already bored to death."
Though there may not be much hotels can do to address their guests' boredom, some are at least trying to ease the financial burden of being snowbound since extra nights can add up.
The upscale W Atlanta-Buckhead hotel, for instance, is offering a $99-a-night rate on hotel rooms through tonight for Wednesday check-out. And the Loews Atlanta Hotel is offering a $139 rate - down from about $279 a night - to anyone who needs to extend their stay through Wednesday.
Despite more than 2,200 flights being cancelled by Delta and AirTran, however, some hotels aren't all that busy.
The Loews hotel, for instance, on Monday night housed 140 guests with the help of managers and employees who spent the night there as well, says managing director Dale McDaniel. It was supposed to have been busier, but the roughly 200 guests the Loews expected never made it due to Atlanta.
The hotel waived cancellation fees for groups and it's not charging individual travelers who are "no shows."
"We're doing everything we can to make travelers more comfortable," McDaniel told Hotel Check-In. "The city of Atlanta has really come together during this storm to be there for neighbors and ensure the safety of others."
In a few rare instances, the hotel used its Q7 Audi to transport guests to a destination within a three-mile radius of the hotel. But mostly people are staying put, given the road conditions.
McDaniel experienced the conditions himself. His normally quick trip from his home to the hotel took him nearly four hours - and he still wound up having to abandon his car on the side of the road and complete his trip by foot.

One of the most important duties of the mastering engineer is fixing the frequency balance of a project if it's needed. Of course, this is done with an equalizer, but the type used and the ways it's driven is generally far different than during recording and mixing. Well, in recording you might use large amounts of EQ anywhere from 3 to 15 dB at a certain frequency. Mastering is almost always in very small increments usually intents of a dB to 2 or 3 at the very most. What you will see is a lot of small shots of EQ along the frequency band, though, but again in very small amounts.
For example, this might be something like +1 at 30Hz, +0.5 at 60Hz, +0.2 at 120, -0.5 at 800, -0.7 at 2500, +0.6 at 8K, +1 at 12 notice that there's a little happening at a lot of places. Another technique that's used frequently is known as feathering, this means that rather than applying a large amount of EQ at a single frequency, you add small amounts at the frequencies adjoining the main one.
An example of this would be instead of adding +3 dB at 100 Hz, you would add +1.5 dB at 100 and +0.5 dB at 80 and 120. This lesson's any potential sonic side effects brought about when using large boost of equalization and results in a smoother sound. Mastering is one area where large amounts of EQ are an indication that there's something wrong with the mix. Top mastering engineers will frequently send the mixer back to redo remix, and that's something you should consider as well. In mastering equalization, less is definitely more
