Looking for Home Remote Controls?
Start shoppingUniversal remote buying guide
Why one remote control is better than six
Have you got five or six remote controls crowding the coffee off your coffee table? Even if the clutter doesn't drive you crazy, the logistics just might. A simple task such as changing the volume may require you to remember whether the sound is coming from your TV or from your home theater receiver — then finding and using the appropriate remote. Or maybe you've got it all figured out, but how about the rest of the household, or your house guests?
The solution could be a "universal" remote. With a universal remote, you can easily control all your components with a single device. And while they're all designed to replace multiple controllers, universal remotes come with different features to meet different needs. Considering all the options before purchasing can ensure you get the right universal remote for your system.
[Shop our selection of universal remotes.]
"Multibrand" remotes — getting control of your system
Multibrand remotes, which are a type of universal remote, are often free with certain gear, like TVs, receivers, and disc players. They generally come pre-programmed with infrared codes for many popular brands of gear, so you can control more than just one component in your system. Normally, these remotes can give you basic control over an assortment of standard audio/video components, such as receivers, Blu-ray players, HDTVs, and cable boxes.
Although a multibrand remote can typically operate the basic functions of most components, it may not be able to control every function of every piece you own. For example, a remote pre-programmed with the operating code for your Blu-ray player can normally turn on the player's power, adjust its volume, select the menu item you want, and play your disc. It may not, however, have control over more specialized features, like turning the director's commentary on or off or accessing behind-the-scenes footage.
Some multibrand and learning remotes require you to place your new remote head-to-head with your old remote, so you can transfer commands from your old remote to your new one. |
Learning remotes — going beyond basic functions
You can set up a learning (or "programmable") remote to operate just about any brand of equipment and to accommodate just about any function you want to clone. There are a number of features that universal learning remotes use to simplify operation. Below a just a few to look for.
Rechargeable batteries to keep you going. With some learning remotes, you can avoid changing batteries altogether, and instead plug the remote into your AC power outlet using an included cable to recharge it. A few remotes go one step further and offer a charging cradle. In addition to ensuring that the remote's batteries remain charged, the cradle provides a designated spot for the controller to reside when not in use. If you've ever hunted high and low for the remote, you'll appreciate how useful a cradle can become.
PC programming for easier setup. Some learning remotes can be programmed by computer. For certain models, you simply go to the manufacturer's website, and enter some basic information about your A/V components and how they're connected. All the necessary programming is then downloaded to your remote from your computer via a USB cable. It's a lot simpler than entering in the codes yourself on the remote, or placing the new remote head-to-head with your old remote to "learn" the remote's functions.
Macros — assign multiple commands to a single button. Many learning remotes also feature "macros" — a series of commands that you can program onto a single activity. If, for example, you have to turn on your TV, DVD player, and receiver to watch a movie, you can combine all of those separate steps into one macro or activity. This lets you turn on all three components with a single button push.
Flash memory — only program your remote once. With simple, inexpensive remote controls, a dead battery can be a nuisance. Once you replace the battery, you usually have to reprogram the remote all over again. Many universal remotes avoid this problem by using flash memory to store their programmed commands.
LCD screens to show more options. Many advanced universal remotes feature LCD screens — in addition to traditional buttons — that display system information and put even greater control at your fingertips. They generally let you access your components more specialized controls, like turning the director's commentary on or off while you're watching a Blu-ray movie. Most of these LCD screens are also backlit for easy operation when the lights are low.
Touchscreens for greater flexibility. Some of the most sophisticated remotes use a touchscreen LCD to offer the ultimate flexibility in system control from your sofa. The touchscreen is typically spacious, which enables it to display a set of control "buttons" specific to whatever component you select to operate. Some touchscreen remotes even offer button layouts that are fully customizable — get rid of the buttons you never use and arrange ones you need in any order you like.
However, despite the high level of customizable control they offer, not everyone likes the feel of a touchscreen's "virtual buttons." If you're looking for an ultra-sophisticated remote, but prefer the feel of actual buttons, then you may just want to go with an LCD remote.
RF capability for control beyond line-of-sight. Most remotes send commands to components via an infrared (IR) beam. In order for the command to be received, there must be an unbroken line of sight between the remote and component, which is why sometimes your remote doesn't change the channel when someone passes between you and the TV. Some remotes also use radio frequency (RF) waves to extend control beyond line-of-sight. Just like AM and FM radio waves, the RF signals can pass through walls and ceilings — making it a great option if your audio/video system is stored in a closet, or if most of it is in another room.
An RF remote sends commands via radio waves, which can travel through walls and cabinets to be be picked up by a base station. The station sends the received command to an IR flasher covering the component's sensor. |

When you're 8, you know, spring isn't yet a perennial miracle. It's a fresh miracle, one that marvelously seems to happen spontaneously every year. You haven't yet learned to count on it.
The thatch of violets that grew along the shady west side of the post office in my hometown was a spontaneous miracle too. We lived next door to the post office when I was growing up, and I remembered that they'd grown there the year before. But even in early May, there wasn't much sign of them. Had the long winter — interminable to an 8-year-old — killed them? Maybe the violets had been a one-time thing, a singular miracle.
I had a plan for those violets this year, however. I wanted to pick a big bouquet of them to give to my mother for Mother's Day. I wanted to pick as many as I could hold in one grubby fist, with the heart-shaped leaves ranged 'round the outside of the bouquet to frame it neatly. I had nothing else, really, to give my mother for Mother's Day.
Already, violets were my favorite flower. I loved the delicate purple flowers, adored their scent. They even tasted good — lightly sweet from their nectar, a tiny nibble of Michigan's ephemeral spring.
I checked the spot anxiously almost daily, the secret task of a worried little girl. I flew home from George Long Elementary School school each day as fast as my chubby legs could carry me, and swung around the back of the post office so I could sidle alongside the violet swale as I made my way to my father's print shop in the old railroad depot.
Most days I could wheedle a bit of change from him to get an ice cream at the drugstore across the street, and sometimes he would walk over with me to have a cup of coffee while I indulged.
On the Friday before Mother's Day, the violets had sprung forth — almost, it seemed, overnight. A few flowers had unfurled their blooms. Maybe, I thought. Maybe they'll be ready by Sunday morning.
And so they were. I ran over to check while I was still in my pajamas, and huzzah! The long strip that had been green was now a sea of purple. Oh, how wondrously scented the cool air was, there in that shady, moist spot. I picked and picked and still their number seemed not to diminish.
At last I had the bouquet I had imagined. Pajama knees muddied and damp, I sped back to the house, finding my mother at the dining room table with a cup of coffee. "Happy Mother's Day!" I cried, and she, to her credit, made a fuss over my messy bouquet. For she knew something that I, at 8, did not: plucked violets last less than 24 hours. Their beauty and wondrously delicate fragrance fade fast.
Still, she placed the bouquet in a Mason jar of cool water, then buried her nose in the flowers to inhale the violets' tender gift.
"Look at you," she said, eyeing my muddy knees. "You'll need a bath before we go to Gram Mather's today. And I have to finish the orange cake. If you're quick, you can help me."
The cake was a miracle in its own right. As I often did, I had perched on the tall kitchen stool to watch as she made it. Mom wasn't a frequent baker, so seeing her make a cake from scratch was its own delight.
She had done something odd, the night before, when she pulled the cake from the oven. Instead of sliding two cake pans onto a rack — now that I had seen lots of times — she had turned the tall cake pan upside-down on the counter, where it stood on little feet.
"It needs to hang overnight," she had said as we set about cleaning up the kitchen.
Freshly bathed, I found my mother in the kitchen spreading marmalade over the towering cake's top. She coaxed a few glistening bits into sliding down the sides. Next, she spooned confectioners' sugar into a sieve and sifted great billows of it over the top.
"Needs something," she muttered "Ah!"
To my amazement, she retrieved the fistful of violets from the table and plunked it into the cake's center hole.
"What do you think?" She fiddled with the leaves, setting them just so.
"It's beautiful!" Eight-year-olds lack adjectives.
It was a singular miracle. A fleeting miracle, to be sure — the cake was destined to be wholly devoured within the hour — but a miracle nonetheless.
These days, so many years later, many things seem like miracles to me. And like the cake, they seem fleeting.
But the triumph of that cake — this cake — is that it can be re-created at will.
And if you haven't a grubby-fisted 8-year-old to fetch you in a fistful of violets, have no worries. The cake is a pretty thing regardless.

Prep: 45 minutes
Bake: 40 minutes
Servings: 12
Note: Slightly adapted from "The Fannie Farmer Baking Book," by Marion Cunningham. You definitely want to measure the egg whites and yolks; eight of my young hens' eggs gave me only 3/4 cup of whites. All ingredients at room temperature, please.
2 to 3 large (softball-size) oranges
1 ¼ cups sugar
1 ¾ cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup egg whites (about 8)
1/3 cup egg yolks (about 6)
1 1/2 cups bitter orange marmalade
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier, Cointreau or other orange-flavored liqueur
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grate the rind of the oranges — just the colored part — to get 2 tablespoons zest. Set aside. while you Juice the oranges, measuring out 1/3 cup. Set the juice aside.
2. Combine 1/4 cup sugar with 1 tablespoon zest; rub together with your fingers until thoroughly combined.
3. Combine the flour and salt in a bowl; sift them together twice. Set aside. Put the egg whites into a large mixing bowl; beat until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar; beat until the whites are stiff but moist, and stand in peaks that droop slightly when the beater is lifted.
4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until thickened slightly; slowly add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the sugar-zest combo. Beat until thick and lemon-colored. Add orange juice and remaining zest; blend well.
5. Sift the flour over the yolk mixture; stir gently until smooth, with no drifts of flour visible. Gently stir one quarter of the beaten whites into the batter. Pour the remaining whites on top; gently fold them into the yolk mixture, cutting down in the center with the spatula, taking it to the bottom and up the side of the bowl, then turning the bowl a bit and repeating until smooth and blended. Spread batter evenly in an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Bake until a straw inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, 40 minutes.
6. Remove the cake from the oven; invert cake. If the pan has little feet, invert onto those. If not, invert over a wine bottle or similar bottle with a thin neck. Let cool completely before removing from the pan. Warm the marmalade slightly; stir in the liqueur. Pour over the top of the cake. Sift the confectioners' sugar lavishly over the top.

Give details - why is the game system a good fit? What matches the Fallout setting?
As this is a game-recommendation question, please adhere to the FAQ, the rules for subjective questions as outlined in Good Subjective, Bad Subjective and our rules for game recommendations. All responses must cite actual experience or reference others' experiences! |
GURPS RPGGEEK is almost always a great answer. I would suggest it if you want a 'crunchy' Fallout experience. You asked for specifics, so here they are: TechIn Fallout, you can encounter futuristic robots, WWII firearms, 1980's computer systems, barbarian villages where the pinnacle of technology is the plow, and nomads who's crowning achievement is the pointy stick. GURPS has always had support for multiple Tech Levels. It'll support PCs from any of those tech levels interacting with equipment from any of those tech levels. As mentioned above, Fallout was designed for GURPS originally, so it's got a lot of meaningful weapon variety. In GURPS, there are many different variables in weapons, so you can have two semi-automatic pistols without them being the same except for their descriptions. Aside from weapons, GURPS has good rules for computers, armor, vehicles, medicine, and pretty much everything else. MutationsGURPS allows you a lot of freedom to create mutants, a big part of the Fallout appeal. Designing new races is pretty straightforward, so you could have templates to make all those things you encounter in Fallout recognizable, but not all the same. Ghouls (Is that what those irradiated guys are called? Can't remember.), giant animals, supermutants, vampires, murkloks (?), etc.. ResourcesFor a GURPS Fallout campaign, I'd recommend the following books in addition to the core: |
There is a Fallout PnP system that uses the exact system in the computer games. Which, luckily you can find in No Mutants Allowed. Whenever I play Fallout in tabletop environment, I use those rules. It is much more Fallout-ishy than anything else |
Interesting trivia, Fallout was originally designed using Steve Jackson's GURPS. Sadly the corporate relationship fell apart. There is a pretty good GURPS fan conversion though. Also, Darwin's World is a d20 game inspired heavily by Fallout, and Exodus: Post Apocalyptic Roleplaying was originally specifically "d20 Fallout" before some kind of problem with the licensing. So if you have a soft spot for GURPS or d20, both are good fits - explicit conversions, large player base, and many other supplements and sources to draw from. |
As much as I hate seeing people answer their own question, here's some results from my own research, in case others stumble on this topic... Deadlands : Hell on Earth - A good, quick system. Rewards player participation, and self-moderation of disadvantages. Supports differing levels of technology, but no concrete rules for a lot of high-tech items, like computers. Some setting-specific rules and character types, but easily adapted. Twilight:2000 - No support for mutants, but lots of realistic millitary rules, and radiation effects. The first edition was pretty bad, but the second edition was a fairly simplistic system, using d20s. Good support for modern skill sets, but the character generation rules might suffer a little in a true Fallout setting. Aftermath - a really old-school post-apoc game. The basic set had details of many different apocalypses. d20 Modern/Future/Post-Apoc - It's d20 3.5. What else needs to be said? Nothing specifically supporting Fallout, but reasonably good generic rules, if you like class-based systems. Can be good for introducing players familliar with d20 mechanics. Gamma World - A little too fantasy-oriented for Fallout. The high-tech gadgets and mutants are of a different style to Fallout, but at least there is plenty of variety. The latest version is even less crunchy than the previous ones, and would suit Fallout even less. |
A fan conversion of the much-beloved Gamma World game for the Savage Worlds system. SW has its fans and its detractors. I haven't played it yet. The upshots from my perspective are: SW has a ten dollar break-in cost to get the rule book, and this Gamma World conversion is both well-done and useful for people interested in a Fallout game. Just in case you like FREE and CHEAP as options. |
Cyberpunk 2020, although long out of print, is a skill-driven RPG with an appropriately lethal combat system. The rules on cyberware and the Net might not be appropriate for a Fallout-derived setting, but everything else would be a good fit. |
Don't forget the freely available Mutant Future from Goblinoid Games, a retro-clone of Gamma World. The game supports both old style weaponry as well as mutant humans. Your GM can leave out the spidergoats if he wants. |
We've played Exodus for a couple of sessions so far and we are really enjoying it. It's Fallout with the serial numbers filed off. (Apparently, they didn't do a very good job on that, due to the lawsuits involving the game.) Exodus uses the d20 system with a ton of new material that sticks very closely to the source material. Chances are, if you chose a Perk in one of the games, it's now either Trait, Feat, or Talent. Character creation is pretty free-form. You select a Background and Profession, which give you access to class skills and bonus feats. (You also 'tag' three skills, which always gives you access to them and you can advance them above the normal rank cap.) Then you choose either the Offensive or Defensive class. |
I always thought Deadlands would be a good fit. You would have to re-skin its magic system to be discarded tech or mutant powers though. |
http://www.therubberduck.net/fallout.html Also has some homebrew adventures that are very nicely done, built on top of the proposed system that never made it to the light of day. |
Jags is rules heavy, system agnostic but has a setting with source books and all that is wacky postapocalyptic (but way more high-tech than fallout). Might be worth a look. Also, it's free. But I have not tried it. |

Egypt Wins World Team Squash Title
September 1, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, TMO, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
Egypt continued its dominance of the world of squash, as they defeated England two matches to one to win the 2011 World Team Championship title in Paderborn, Germany this week. England were the top seeds in the tournament, which takes place every two years. Egypt, meanwhile, were the defending champions from 2009, and they were able to successfully defend their title.
In the opening match, world number two, Egypt's Ramy Ashour, defeated world number one Nick Matthew 11-7, 11-9, 13-11 for his first straight game victory against Matthew in the history of their four year rivalry. But the match was not without controversy, especially in the third game, which Matthew thought that he had one at a couple of junctures. Matthew told The Star, "I had to fight. The crowd knows but the only people who didn't were the four [referees] who counted." However, Matthew then went on to add: "He played a lot better than me; he deserved it. I wasn't playing my best. But if I'd won that third game I think I could have gone on to win the match." Ashour, for his part, enjoyed the battle, telling The Star, "It was like being in a UFC bout but I am so proud."
In the second match, Ashour's older brother, Hisham, fell to England's Peter Barker, eighth-ranked in the world, 11-6, 11-9, 11-7. That result left Egypt's Karim Darwish to face England's James Wilstrop for all the marbles. And Darwish indeed came out the victor, with a thrilling four game victory, 11-5, 13-11, 9-11, 11-4, to bring squash's top team title back once again to Cairo.

Surplice Wrap Drape Dress
Beautiful dress!!!
Absolutely love this dress! I wanted a blue dress for a while and this was the prefect pick.
December 29, 2012
sexy and classy
I just got the dress in mail and i am in love with it! Such a pretty dress..... very sexy piece. Color is darker than the picture.
Definitely recommend this item!
December 17, 2012
lovely color, good for multiple seasons/occasions
I wear this with tights and boots in the fall or with strappy gold sandals in the summer. The neckline plunges (and sometimes likes to travel, I use double-sided tape to keep it from sliding off my bra!) and the skirt is mid-thigh, which is not appropriate for my work place, but if paired with tights and a bralet/tank beneath it could be safe for others.
I am 5'2", 120 lbs and 34C with a high, wide waist, but this dress gives me curves where I don't have them! When I first tried it on I thought it made me look TOO curvy, but high heels and a good stretchy waist-belt (I got a black and leopard print one from Bebe, gorgeous!) made all the difference. I don't bother with the belt it comes with.
I have tried over and over to wear this casually, but this dress demands accessorizing and heels. I can't help myself when I put it on! Also, the material could pass for silk, so it looks even more expensive than it is. Overall, a great addition to any wardrobe for most body types!
December 3, 2012
Love this product
First time ordering online and I was very happy with all the products I bought, I will definitely do it again
November 18, 2012
Great buy!
Love this dress!!! Had to purchase something that's elegant, but not too formal for my husband's military ceremony and this was perfect! I'm slim with wide hips and a big butt and this dress conceals it perfectly. Not clingy or too revealing. The color is beautiful--exactly like online. Definitely recommend this dress!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Weezer!
Facts about Weezer
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Weezer's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This is Weezer! These are little bottle babies, raised with lots of hugs and kisses, so they're super sweet and are all about being held, cuddled and simply adored.
Of course when you're this cute why would you think otherwise.
These little ones are almost weaned and will be ready to go to their new families on 5/5/13. If you're interested in adding one of these cutie pies to your "Forever" family please call Cathy at 661-273-9822 or email her at email@example.com for an Adoption Application.
All kittens are weaned & litter box trained before being adopted. We also provide all kitten shots, deworming, spay/neuter, Felv/FIV Combo Testing and microchippping as part of the adoption.
Birthday: 3/04/13
Other Pets at Forgotten Angels Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Weezer, a Palmdale Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Palmdale, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Palmdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Palmdale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Palmdale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Palmdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

Gary Kovacs gets the nod to guide AVG, where he'll be forced to contend with problems not unlike those he faced at Mozilla.

Android may not have the walled garden of the iPhone, but a new partnership between AVG and Livewire looks to make third-party markets more secure without sacrificing openness.

Standing by its antivirus app for Windows Phone after Microsoft removed it from the Marketplace, AVG has responded to some of the complaints leveled against the software.
After two researchers assert that AVG's antivirus software for Windows Phone is "scareware," Microsoft removes the app from its marketplace.
The world's most downloaded free antivirus program is headquartered in Prague, but the heart of AVG pumps computer security from the Czech Republic's other major city, Brno. CNET editor Seth Rosenblatt tours the campus to see how AVG builds its antivirus protection.

First they woke your mind… now START TO FEEL! From Cosmic Gate's very first drumbeat through to 'Start to Feel' - their new convention-challenging long-player - they've proved to be the perfect alliance of musical minds. A by-chance meeting in a Cologne recording studio in the late-nineties set Nic Chagall and Bossi on the course to becoming Germany's most successful and enduring electronic music duo. Their original productions have thrust them to the highest reaches of download charts & streaming lists, whilst their remixography has included everyone from scene legends like Armin van Buuren to revered Hollywood composers like James 'Avatar' Horner.
Nic & Bossi's behind-decks-brotherhood has now created floor-frission at an uncountable number of countries. They've sold out arenas, conquered electronic music capitals, spun at a litany of major festivals and 10 years into their career became the highest climbers on DJ Mag's Top 100 chart. Driven by their critically applauded albums, club-busting singles (incl. 'Not Enough Time', 'Body of Conflict', The Theme, So Get Up and 'Falling Back') and scene-defining classics 'Be Your Sound', 'Fire Wire' and 'Exploration of Space', their place in electronic music's hall of fame has long since been locked.
To celebrate the 50th episode of WYM Radio, Cosmic Gate will be helming a very special, next-level Miami cruise event during WMC this year! On board one of the finest club yachts to set sail...

Consumer Advisory Bulletin
Would you like to reduce the number of unwanted telephone and mail solici-tations you receive? Many consumers appreciate the convenience of shopping from home when they receive legitimate solicitations for goods and services, but others would like to reduce what they consider "junk mail" or "junk calls." Our names and numbers are often sold on solicitation lists. Here are a few tips to avoid unwanted calls and mail:
To reduce mail solicitations, write to: DMA Mail Preference Service, P.O. Box 643, Carmel, New York 10512. Be sure to include all variations of your name as they appear in mailings. It probably will take a few months before you notice a significant decrease in solicitations, but it should help.
You may have to contact these services more than once to keep your name off solicitation lists -- and, of course, "scam-artists" may ignore these lists and contact you. But the preference services still may help you reduce unwanted calls and mail.
For information, or to file a complaint about a fraudulent solicitation, contact the Consumer Protection Division, Hoover Bldg., Des Moines, IA 50319. Call 515-281-5926.

Cotton stretch stripe print mid calf socks
Material: 90% Organic Cotton, 7% Nylon, 3% Lycra
Brand: PACT
Origin: Imported
This little underwear company got its start in 2007, when two would-be MBAs at UC Berkeley discovered a mutual interest in launching a fresh, new line of organic undergarments. After a few years of sales pitches and a collaboration with designer Yves Behar, the pair was in business. Their first prototype was a pair of silk-screened boxers, and they've since branched out into a number of styles for men, as well as thongs, bikinis, and boy shorts for women.

Day outings in the backcountry require carrying food, water, clothing, and other key items for a successful day. The Chilcotin series is all about load stability and easy access to your kit. The packs wrap around the body, keeping the mass close and stable. Shoulder straps and back panels are ventilated to help with comfort in warm weather.
Compact, highly stable, fully featured daypack for fast trips with minimal loads. The 8.5L capacity (519 cu. In.) holds core essentials for day hikes or mountain biking. The main compartment is easily accessible, and Wingman™ pockets at the hips keep small essentials right at hand. The design delivers a secure, comfortable stable fit. Aeroform™ mesh in the shoulder straps and back panel delivers longwearing cushion with maximum airflow.
Arc'teryx selected SOURCE™ hydration bladders because they deliver exceptional flow rates, effective capacity, minimal slosh and ease of use. The ergonomic, high flow bite valve delivers water with little effort, an important factor on the move. The valve can be locked closed while not in use to eliminate leakage and dribbling. The BPA free bladder has a maintenance free liner that helps prevent microbial build up without adding a plastic taste. The leakproof wide mouth top makes filling, cleaning and drying exceptionally easy.
Smaller packs often sacrifice function and features due to their size, but Arc'teryx puts a premium on functional design and realizes that simple things can make big differences. The Chilcotin 8 features a substantial 2L SOURCE™ bladder for hydration on the move, and a polyethylene frame sheet to distribute the load. A docking station helps keep the bite valve free from grit, and external attachment straps carry wet gear, helmets or trekking poles. A secure accessory pocket holds wallet and smartphone, and has a clip to secure keys and help eliminate trailhead lockouts.
Arc'teryx realizes that packs need to be made with motion in mind. The Chilcotin 8 small size makes it easy to move fast on backcountry trails. The design wraps around the hips for superior balance and weight distribution. The polyethylene framesheet provides additional stability without rigidity, and the N210p-HT NYLON 6,6 is high density ripstop fabric helps minimize pack weight.
Body: N210r-HT nylon 6,6 ripstop body uses a high density single ripstop fabric coated with silicone to shed moisture and increase waterproofness.
Back Panel: Aeroform™ monofilament mesh exterior promotes air flow, is light weight, abrasion resistant and does not absorb water and a reticulated open cell foam behind the mesh promotes air flow and comfort.Polyethylene frame sheet for support.
Shoulder straps: Aeroform™ monofilament mesh exterior promotes air flow, is light weight, abrasion resistant and does not absorb water. A Spacermesh™ HD interior provides next to skin comfort.

Méribel Travel guide
Méribel : Michelin's recommendations
This charming resort built from 1450 to 1800 m altitude has blended in well with its environment by building chalets with double-sloping roofs and wooden façades. Its skiable area, stretching across the Trois-Vallées, was chosen for the 1992 Olympics. The women's Alpine skiing and ice hockey events were held here. During summer, this is a wonderful place for walking the peaks.

Hey, Dudes- I'm a Latino guy and proud of it. I would like to start a thread for posting any hot pics that you have of Latino men. I hope that this will be similar to the Hot Asian Men Collection - a thread I really enjoy!
Please feel free to define "hot" and "Latino" in any way you want. There are other threads for people to debate the definitions of Latino and Hispanic. This is not that thread. This thread is to enjoy Latino men in all their masculinity, beauty, and diversity.
Here is the first "sample' for your pleasure:

tom daley
A neighbor of mine. He is 2 years older than me, he is one of the best guys on the village. Everyone thinks he is a good person and he is funny, a bit muscular and a very well mannered man. Plus he is the kind of person that would never insult you or get in fight.
He is also tall, kinda light-brown haired with deep blue eyes and natural tan skin (probably because he works in the fields as a farmer) and he is the sweetest of all!
I imagined eating his ass out by giving him a tongue-rape!
I just couldn't RESIST!!

I once tried to crochet my boyfriend a cock sock. I assume that's the same thing as a dick slip.
Dick slips go in the porn forum, not Hot Topics!
So here's a nip slip instead.
Recently I heard a 'wise guy' story that I had a party at my home for twenty-five men. It's an interesting story, but I don't know twenty-five men I'd want to invite to a party. ~Joan Crawford
OK, so the suits fetish and the dick slips don't really have much overlap, huh?
Well it isn't going to be much of a thread since the http://www.dickslipsblog.com/archive pretty much covers all the ground there is to cover.
One note on the archive though. It has a lot of intentional peek a boo dicks and balls.
I don't think they really qualify as 'slips'.
I would say though that in university, we had one guy that always went commando in shorts and had his junk hanging out unintentionally about half the time. It became a running gag.

One strong element that the current games have is that your character can slide into Insanity or Corruption. I hope that Black Crusade keeps this, with some modifications of course.
Insanity can stay more-or-less the same. Chaos followers are crazy, but if you become too raving mad to function, I imagine your "friends" would use you as raw material for a daemonhost. A little tweaking of the rules is all I think they would need to do.
Corruption is a different matter entirely. For those of you with some grey hairs, you may have been lucky enough to play the Chaos Warband system from the Realm of Chaos books. Truly wonderful stuff. The lore is that while many Chaos Champions aspire to daemonic immortality, the majority die in battle or are transformed into chaos spawn. Your champion would earn "Favor Points" in the service of the dark powers, which would result in Gifts of the Gods or Mutations. Along the way, there were several ways your champion could be "spawned," While only a very high roll on the "Chaos Reward Table" would transform you into a Daemon Prince (and even then, only if you had become powerful enough). A modification of this would be perfect for the RPG. When you accumulate 100 points (Favor, Glory, whatever), you make a final check to see if your character is rewarded with Daemonhood or cursed with Spawnhood. I know that a lot of people will rage against this idea, crying that if they lose their character, it's no reward. If the system is set up properly, earning these points will not be easy & they will benefit the character in some way (lure of Chaos, right?). Also, a true roleplayer will be quite satisfied that his/her beloved character has acheived their ultimate goal. You can bet that the new Prince would be proudly converted to lead a aemonic Legion on my tabletop. Just wanted to share my thoughts. Thanks & good gaming!

Illustrations: Melanie Teppich January 2012 2/9 Peelimia (peel-EE-me-ah) Compulsive disorder in which victims exfoliate and chemically plane face—using scrubs, organic fruit extracts, trichloroacetic acid, or vibrating diamond-encrusted sanding wands—until skin resembles a slice of seared bluefin tuna. Symptom: Dating dermatologists—or at least friending them on Facebook. Illustrations: Melanie Teppich January 2012 3/9 Whitenitis (wy-ten-EYE-tiss) Craving for teeth to appear the color of blackboard chalk. Symptoms: Sleeping with hydrogen peroxide–filled mouth guard; limiting oral intake to pale foods and white wine; recurring dreams involving Clorox.

Symptom: Confusing actual skin with that depicted in magazines. Illustrations: Melanie Teppich January 2012 6/9 Tanorexia (tan-or-EX-ee-ah) Also known as J. Lomia and Bain-de-Soleilitis: Obsessive need for skin to appear the color of a circus peanut or a can of Benjamin Moore's Burnt Cinnamon. Symptom: Thinking Snooki looks "just fine." Illustrations: Melanie Teppich January 2012 7/9 Extensionitis (ex-ten-shun-EYE-tiss) Desperation for Samson-like hair, no matter how expensive or time consuming.
