First post! I am looking for some input and suggestions from the community.
I am getting back into cross country riding again after many years away from the sport. Realizing that updating my old Klein Attitude Race (lightweight Al hardtail, full XT groupset) with todays latest goodies is futile, I am now in the market for a new ride. Im a former mechanic and bike builder and used to enter a few local XC races a year.
Ive done some research online, visited local shops and did several parking lot test rides and narrowed things down to a Specialized Epic and the 13 Epic Comp 29 as the front running model. A local shop has this bike and now for the good part a 12 Epic Comp Carbon for the same price, in addition to a 12 Stumpjumper Carbon 29er hard tail on a blow out price.
Walking into the shop, I was thinking the alloy 13 Epic all the way, with temptation being the 13 Epic carbon if the test ride was awesome. Walking out of the shop, I almost fell in love with the Stumpjumper carbon hard tail.
Think I could be content with todays tech on a carbon 29er hardtail or would I miss the Epic FS?

The Central Portugal region
Aroeira - Verdizela
The beaches are the favourite spot to Lisbonites spend their weekends and vacations as is the closest seaside resort to Lisbon. It is located on the occidental coast of Península de Setúbal, southwest of Lisbon, covering an area of around 10 km2 from the sea to the scarp.
From the left margin of Tagus river and the estuary of Albufeira, the coastal extent is approximately 30 kilometres of immense beach.
This unbelievable place is crossed by geological and geomorphological sights of vital interest for its scientific and natural resources, i.e. a prehistoric beach landscape is that is formed by amazing carved and covered with vegetation cliffs, large erosion deposits and huge ravines.
Not less famous, the most scenic and dominant element of the area: the Botanical Reserve of the National Fame Preserve of Medos, known as the King's Pine Forrest, the result of a Portuguese King ´s order to plant the land to reduce deforestation and incursion of dunes. Less but not least, Mata das Dunas, that still remains a natural forest at the base of the beach.
Despite the fishing industry, the beach and the sea are both responsible for bringing to this region a seasonal tourist influx that make its economy work.
You may ride a bike or have a walk on the sea wall while having fun avoiding the salty splashes.
If you prefer, a small train will take you along the coast providing access to the hugely lengthy beach. During the day, the fishing boats arrive and bring in their nets and the beach goers, body boarders and surfers run to help and experience. It is lovely to observe the prows of these boats, embellished with traditional paintings.
These beaches are great for surf, bodyboard, windsurf and kitesurf. Pay attention where you choose to laze, there are different character beaches from gay communities, nudist persons and family- orientated.
Next to Mata dos Medos, you´ll find the biggest residential and golf resort around Lisbon, named Herdade da Aroeira. Around 600 meters from the beach, located in a preserved area, the resort has around 50 fenced hectares, private security 24 /24, and is overgrown with pines and small lakes. Offers 2 golf courses with 18 holes each and a golf academy with a very peasant club house. For the youngest, there is a very appealing tropical pool, a funny playground and 4 tennis courts and a truly contact with nature. A distinct restaurant, a supermarket, a stationary and a pharmacy are also available. All these features make Herdade da Aroeira the place to be on vacation.
Everywhere, maritime flavors are another major attraction. The gastronomy is excellent. Stews and fish soups are very famous, although there's nothing like eating a freshly caught fish, seaside and surrounded with the traditional and welcoming environment. Be pleased to accompany the meal with the unique Portuguese wine.
Charneca da Caparica
1500m away from the villa there is a shopping area with a small supermarket, cafeteria and bar. Just behind the villa there are tennis courts.
3km away you will find a bigger supermarket, a few restaurants and Aroeira golf resort with two 18-hole championship golf courses (Aroeira I and Aroeira II), four tennis courts, a spa and a healthcare centre, a communal tropical swimming pool, a playground, a shopping centre, bars, snack-bars and restaurants.
Verdizela is surrounded by a stretch of 30 km of the best beaches in Portugal, starting from the lively beaches near the centre of the village Costa da Caparica, to the almost deserted beaches of the south area, ideal for water or sand sports.
Less than 5 km away, you have beach bars and small restaurants specialized in grilled fish, some of them with wonderful terraces to enjoy the sunset. There is a wide range of beach bars that after nightfall turn into discos or live music bars.

I would go with Collada - maybe it is slower to load, but it can contain a lot of informations, can be easily adapted to any needs and interpreter is easy to write.
Almost all games go with their own format. Then you just need to write a converter from Collada (for example) to your own binary format. The advantage is that loading them is lighting fast since you can format the data in any way you want.
After reading this I think I'll follow your advice theagentd. It'd suit my needs and beyond if I wrote a converter back to Collada.Thanks for the quick replies!

Aug 8th 2007 8:25AM Big boss? I haven't downed a one. My mage is far from a hero. He's more of a boob. Sure he has been a witness to a lot of history but most of the time that history has wiped the floor with his ass.

My hopes are that the new levels will make old raid content doable with small parties or even solo. I'm still hoping that once my mage hits 70 (extremely casual gamer stuck at 62) I'll actually be able to see some of the endgame content pre-BC. With the level cap raised to 80, I should be able to wander around MC or BWL without too much worry. Maybe this is just me waiting for a solo instance.

There are few plants on this green planet that are more fascinating than good old-fashioned cannabis, and it has only recently been given a chance to grow and thrive, pardon the pun, at least in a legal and regulated environment. Colorado is by no means the only state with legal recreational and medical marijuana, but it is a good model, for the rest of the country, because they have done it well. Medical patients can obtain their marijuana products, at a lower rate, than those who are buying for recreational purposes. Nevertheless, they both have access to the same fabulous products. There are even sites, that help you find medical marijuana dispensaries near you. StrainData, is a good example. It is an extremely informative and helpful site, for those trying to locate specific marijuana strains and products.
If you do happen to be a medical user of cannabis, though, you need to be more mindful of what specific marijuana products you are using to treat your condition, as different medical marijuana strains and products have different effects, both in terms of how psychoactive they are and how beneficial they are, for your condition. The first question to ask is whether or not you actually need or want legitimate, good old-fashioned, dried sinsemilla. This is, of course, the most quintessential form of marijuana, and it is the easiest way to observe, at least visually, subtle differences in strains. Still, you should not necessarily stick with sinsemilla alone, particularly if you are suffering from certain medical conditions. For some, edible products are more effective at delivering relief and treatment. Plus, in Colorado, there are so many different edibles and other cannabis products available, that you would never have to buy actual sinsemilla, if you do not want to. Furthermore, each product is typically made from a specific strain, and each dispensary will provide accurate information, as to the THC content, as well as the amount of other cannabinoids that are present.
Of course, there are always going to be those who prefer to smoke or vaporize their marijuana, for whatever reason. For one thing, when inhaled, the effects can be noticed almost immediately, while edibles and other such products typically take at least thirty minutes to take effect. The other reason why some prefer smoking or vaporizing is the fact that the effects are different. Many claim that edibles make them more tired and sluggish, while smoking or vaporizing is a little more precise and actually leaves them feeling more clear-headed. While the recreational marijuana community is typically most concerned with the flavor of the strains and, more importantly, the THC content, many medical patients have other concerns, such as the presence of various other cannabinoids, such as CBD. Though there are many cannabinoids, found in marijuana, it is CBD that, in many ways, is the most promising for sick patients, even those with cancer. For that reason, in the medical marijuana community, CBD marijuana strains are among the most cutting edge.

Nigerian police detained four journalists after their newspaper reported on alleged plans by President Goodluck Jonathan's government to disrupt opposition parties and raise the price of fuel, Leadership newspaper said.
Two of the four reporters were released late yesterday, Leadership Group Managing Director Azubuike Ishiekwene said today by phone from Abuja, the capital. Police demanded that they reveal their source for the story, according to the paper.
The police haven't told the newspaper where the two other journalists are being held and their mobile phones are switched off, Ishiekwene said.
"That's a brazen attack on press freedom," Ishiekwene said. "It's a very dangerous sign of things to come."
The four were detained after obeying a summons to appear at police headquarters early yesterday, he said. Police spokesman Frank Mba didn't answer two calls to his mobile phone seeking comment. Presidential spokesmen Reuben Abati and Doyin Okupe's phones were switched off when called for comment.

SAN DIEGO, May 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- REVA Medical, Inc. (ASX:RVA) ("REVA" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Michel Vanbrabant has been appointed Managing Director International for the Company. In this role, he will be responsible for commercial planning activities leading up to the launch of REVA's drug-eluting bioresorbable coronary scaffold in international markets, which is anticipated to occur toward the end of 2014. He will be based in Brussels, Belgium.
Mr. Vanbrabant has extensive experience commercializing medical devices internationally. He spent more than ten years at Guidant Corporation (now Abbott Laboratories) where he began as a sales representative for Vascular Intervention and held increasing roles of responsibility in sales, marketing, and management before becoming Vascular Intervention Country Manager for France. He then joined St. Jude Medical Corporation as Marketing Director for the Cardiology Division, responsible for Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Canada ("EMEAC") before being appointed Senior Director for the Neuromodulation Division, EMEAC. Mr. Vanbrabant most recently served as Vice President of Sales & Marketing Europe for PneumRx, Inc., a privately held early stage company, where he led the successful commercial launch of PneumRx's minimally invasive implants for patients suffering from emphysema.
"We are extremely pleased to have attracted such an exceptional individual as Michel to assist REVA with establishing the foundation for commercial sales of REVA's bioresorbable scaffold in international markets," commented Bob Stockman, REVA's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "As we move toward European CE Marking, Michel will work with our executive team to formulate the detailed commercial plans for our scaffold , with specific focus on sales, distribution, and reimbursement. We look forward to introducing Michel to our clinical and industry associates at the EuroPCR being held in Paris, France, May 21 st through 24 th."
About REVA REVA is a development stage medical device company incorporated in Delaware, USA, that is focused on the development and eventual commercialization of its proprietary bioresorbable stent products. The ReZolve ® product family, which is in a clinical study phase, combines REVA's proprietary stent design with a proprietary polymer that is metabolized and cleared from the body. REVA's anticipated commercial product, the ReZolve2 scaffold, is designed to offer full x-ray visibility, clinically relevant sizing, and a controlled and safe resorption rate. In addition, by early encapsulation of the stent in the artery tissue coupled with the loss of scaffold structure over time, the ReZolve2 scaffold may reduce the incidence of late forming blood clots or otherwise reduce long-term disease progression, potential benefits of bioresorbable scaffolds that have yet to be proven. REVA will require clinical results and regulatory approval before it can begin selling the ReZolve2 scaffold.
