Date: March 1st, 2006 Article by: Mike "Twitch" Carter (Hardware Reviewer) Edited by: Nathan Glentworth (Owner / Head Editor) <--SHOP FOR A MOUSE PAD HERE
The pad system arrived at my house in a plain, white mailing box. Since GWS is primarily a mail-order company, fancy packaging isn't really necessary, although you do miss some of the "gee-whiz" factor of a colorful package.
Opening the box, you find a clear plastic bag containing a Killenflor mousepad and a black, plastic frame with integrated mouse bungee. GWS was kind enough to also include a bottle of their Killenflor Mousepad Wax (more on that later). Simple, easy, no assembly required.
It's a mousepad, what's to install, right? Not a whole lot. Drop the plastic base and pad onto your desk, insert your mouse cable into the bungee and you're ready to rock. If the bungee isn't necessary, or the frame is too wide for your desk, the pad is easily removable, and actually holds fairly well to a desk on its own.
The core feature of this set is the pad itself. It's a thin, slightly gray-tinted white pad, with a smooth, stiff surface, manufactured from PVA (a type of vinyl), while the backside is a polyester/rayon material. Sounds like your favorite sweatshirt, but it's actually the same type of stuff that's used in a lot of product packaging. The last motherboard you bought probably had a sheet of it wrapped around the anti-static bag for shock protection. It serves the same purpose here, giving a bit of "give" to the pad, while maintaining a solid surface for mousing.
The white color of the pad isn't an aesthetic decision. White or light gray pads are reported to reflect laser and infrared light better, which translates to faster response and better battery life for cordless mice. That said, it does set the Launchpad apart from the bevy of black and dark-colored gaming pads on the market. It'll get you noticed at a LAN party.
You'll also notice the small hole on one side. I originally thought this was to aid removal of the pad from the frame, but the guys at GWS explain that this is actually an engineered hole to aid in the use of their R2 mouse. You place the tip of your pinky in the hole, and use that as a leverage point to move your hand back and forth. I tried it with a regular mouse, and it does add a bit to your precision. You can hold the mouse with a more solid grip, and "anchor" your hand to the pad for precise aiming. It's an interesting, but useful touch.
The second part of the Launchpad is the frame. It's relatively lightweight plastic, with the mouse bungee affixed to one of the wider edges. The "waffle" design helps keep the frame lightweight, but provides a grippy surface for the pad to cling to. The underside has six rubber feet, to prevent the frame from sliding under heavy use. They appear to work well, even fairly wild movements on my part keep it from moving too much.
Here, we see the mouse bungee. It's a simple, two-spring affair, with a squeeze-type cord holder at the top, and a snap-in cord groove at the bottom. The size should fit most standard mice without a problem, and it grips tight enough to keep the cable from pulling out. The springs are at a good angle to provide strain relief, so you don't accidentally pull the tail off your rodent's backside.
Just below the springs, you can see a large chrome ball. This weights the pad at the top side, off-setting the weight applied at the other side by the heel of your hand. It gives the pad a solid feel on the desk, and adds a touch of "bling". Like the rest of the pad set, it's simple and effective. My only wish is that the bungee could be removed for cordless mouse users.

Nasal Potential Difference Test for Cystic Fibrosis - Topic Overview
The nasal potential difference test (nasal PD test) measures how well salts (sodium and chloride) flow across the mucous membranes in the nose. This type of test can be helpful when the results of a sweat test or a genetic test are not clear.
In this test, electrodes are placed inside the nose and liquids are run through the nose. There is also a needle placed in the forearm that connects to a machine. Because this test can be uncomfortable, your child may need medicine to help him or her relax before having the test.
Cystic fibrosis is a disease that changes how your body makes mucus and sweat. It affects how well your lungs, digestive system, and some other body parts work. It's caused by a flawed gene. If you have cystic fibrosis, you may have mucus that's too thick or sweat that's too salty. If heavy mucus clogs your lungs, it's hard to breathe. It can also block your pancreas, an organ in your belly, so you can't digest your food as well. The disease may make you sweat away too much of the salt your...
Read the Cystic Fibrosis article > >
This test is not used very often because it can be difficult to do and because it is not available in many places.

Will This Analyst Upgrade Help J.P. Morgan (JPM) Stock Today?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- FBR Capital Markets upgraded J.P. Morgan (JPM - Get Report) to "outperform" from "market perform" and set a $70 price target. The firm said the company deserves to trade at a premium to its peers.
The stock closed at $58.23 on Friday.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
- Regardless of the drop in revenue, the company managed to outperform against the industry average of 5.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 4.1%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for JPMORGAN CHASE & CO is currently very high, coming in at 89.61%. Regardless of JPM's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 22.57% trails the industry average.
- JPMORGAN CHASE & CO's earnings per share declined by 8.8% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past year. However, we anticipate this trend reversing over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, JPMORGAN CHASE & CO reported lower earnings of $4.32 versus $5.19 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($5.50 versus $4.32).
- In its most recent trading session, JPM has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- The change in net income from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the Commercial Banks industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income has decreased by 7.9% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $6,496.00 million to $5,985.00 million.

Opening Your Intuition with the 4 C's
Opening Your Intuition with the 4 C's
When we learn to trust and develop our intuition, life becomes much easier. We feel connected, happier and in the flow. It's important to learn to connect within or else you will constantly be seeking for answers and direction outside of you. All you need is within you. Opening your intuition is like turning on GPS and typing in HOME. If you'd like to open your own intuition and learn how to trust those gut feelings and intuitive hunches you get, look no further than the four C's.

Featured news
Crooks noticed the high earning potential of rogue online pharmacies from the very start, and the World Health Organization now estimates that more than 50 percent of prescriptions ordered online are counterfeit and either contain the wrong active ingredient or not enough of the active ingredient.
So how can you spot a rogue online pharmacy?
For one thing, a rogue pharmacy will sell you drugs without a doctor's prescription.
Secondly, if you can't find the information about the location of the pharmacy on the website, you should assume that it's probably a rogue one.
"Not knowing the source of a medication should be cause for concern regarding the safety and effectiveness of the prescription," points out Yasmin Vazquez, a specialist with the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE).
By the same token, try to find contact information on the website. Legitimate pharmacies will have a licensed pharmacist on staff to answer any question customers may have and instruct them on the drug's side effects, interaction with other pharmaceuticals, etc. If you can't contact a live person that works for the pharmacy, don't buy anything from them.
Also, if you receive drugs without a lot number, expiration date or label, the chances are high that the drugs are counterfeit - and that means that there is no guarantee that they work or even that they are not dangerous. Needless to say, don't use them for your ailments.
And lastly, if you receive spam email advertising drugs that users might be uncomfortable buying in a brick-and-mortar pharmacy (such as erectile dysfunction drugs and other controlled substances), don't accept the offer. Not only will you end up buying questionable pharmaceuticals, but you will be in danger of having your credit card information stolen or getting served with malware.
Of course, there are sites out there that do some of these things right - for example, they employ doctors without a license to approve orders - so users are advised to always be extra careful when buying drugs online.
There are also sites out there that can confirm whether the online pharmacy of your choice is legitimate.
In the US, the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (www.nabp.net) has created the Verified Pharmacy Practices Sites Program, which lists approved and authorized online pharmacies. In addition to this, they also offer a list of identified fraudulent sites to help avoid being scammed.
LegitScript (www.legitscript.com) also provides a list of 240 safe online pharmacies and more than 42,000 fraudulent ones. UK citizens can search for such lists on the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency's website (www.mhra.gov.uk).

I'm a firm believer that even the most high-profile influencers are reachable if you take the right actions to do so.
Read Whole Story
There's a saying in the music business: if you can't be a hero in your hometown, you can't be a hero anywhere. Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel both played bars that likely you and I wouldn't be caught dead in.
This is an issue a lot of authors face: a book that's been out for a while and you feel like you've really exhausted your options. Book sales are sagging and you figure it's over. Well, it's not.
What resonates with any of us in the content we consume, is the same thing that attracts us to another human being when we are looking for love or companionship.
I made so many mistakes along the way that I thought I'd offer a roundup of them to help aspiring writers avoid stumbling into the same muddy potholes that nearly swallowed me whole.
Authors ask me all the time: How can I get my book into Costco? To tell you the truth, it's really not that complicated. But let's look at the different ways that Costco stocks product.
There is no easy way to ask for blurbs, but take comfort in the fact that every writer has to do it. Now that I've just gritted my teeth and gone through the process for the fourth time, for my novel Haven Lake, I thought it might help newbie writers to think about these strategies...
We hear so much about eBooks these days that it's almost easy to forget that long before the eBook, there was another way to enjoy a title: in audio...
Writing a book is one thing, promoting it is a whole different animal. But what if you could, right out of the gate, know exactly what to do to create an outstanding, well-received book that was promoted in such a way that it sold better than you expected?
By now we've all heard the endless chatter about Google's issues with duplicate content. In the past, we could easily re-run pieces in a variety of places.
So if you, too, are thinking of writing a book, ask yourself: Who will want to read it? What is my art form? How can I better hone the craft of writing? What will be the value of it to our culture?
I haven't "seen it all" but I have become a tad jaded when it comes to experts versus someone who is a fan. I love fans, don't get me wrong, but it's a big stretch from fan to expert and, if you're publishing a book, you should know why this matters.

When you can dig deep to uncover that stinging level of honesty, people will relate to your authenticity. So stop being scared and write the hard stuff.
When I started my book marketing career, my boss gave me this advice: "Don't use green covers. Books with green covers don't sell." There was no data behind this statement, it was just part of the collective publishing wisdom then.
In traditional publishing, failing means not earning out your advance. In self-publishing, failing could be taken to mean not earning back your expenses. But the question then needs to be: over what period of time?
I binged this past weekend. Not on reality TV or chocolate or martinis, but on writing. I booked a cheap off-season condo in Maine and wrote 17,822 words.
You'll want to make an attractive and powerful site so that you get more traffic; more traffic means higher rankings on search engines, which means more people checking out your book.
Here's how you can decide which types of news hooks might be right for your book publicity campaign.
Is my novel a mystery? Is it literary fiction? Yes, and yes. But it's still considered women's fiction in the marketplace.
It's one thing to write a book -- it's quite another to write a book that will sell. We all want to follow our passion, write our dream and dance crea...

We are happiest when we're in our native environments, scribbling in journals or tapping out love stories and action scenes and terrifying near-death experiences on our keyboards. Writing is the only cure for publishing a novel. The sooner we get back to it, the better.

Bird Sightings: The Voice of Audubon
The Voice of Audubon offers regular updates on birds sighted across the state to introduce you to the wide variety of species Massachusetts has to offer.
Below are the most recently published sightings.
Cape Cod
Several observers enjoyed watching and photographing a flock of 31 Bohemian waxwings at High Head in Truro over the weekend.
Some sea watching from Race Point in Provincetown on the 1st produced 40 red-throated loons, 11 common loons, 12 horned grebes, 26 red-necked grebes, 4 common murres, 12 thick-billed murres, over 4000 razorbills, a dovekie, a dead Atlantic puffin, 15 black-legged kittiwakes, 24 Iceland gulls, and an Ipswich savannah sparrow. Read More
Eastern Massachusetts
Bitter cold temperatures and incredibly deep snow in many areas continued to keep many birds and birders under cover this week. Feeder-watching may be the best way to enjoy this winter's songbird bird populations right now, but where there is open freshwater, many waterfowl are currently gathering in large numbers where they afford nice looks at many species in their finest plumage of the year.

Western Massachusetts
Rough-legged hawks were found in Hadley, South Hadley, Lee, Dalton, Cheshire, and Williamstown.

AltaPacific Bancorp Announces Performance Results For Third Quarter 2011
AltaPacific Bancorp (OTCBB: ABNK), the parent company of AltaPacific Bank, today reported net income for the quarter totaling $76,000 and year-to-date net income totaling $249,000 for the period ending September 30, 2011, respectively.
Assets totaled $113,245,000 at September 30, 2011, representing an increase of 22.0% over June 30, 2011 and an increase of 41.9% over December 31, 2010. At September 30, 2011, the bank's net loans totaled $55,297,000 representing a 2.6% increase over June 30, 2011 and an 8.0% decrease over December 31, 2010. Deposits totaled $80,647,000 at September 30, 2011 representing a 34.3% increase over June 30, 2011 and a 71.1% increase over December 31, 2010. Increases in deposits resulted principally from growth in core deposits as Certificates of Deposit decreased 12.4% since June 30, 2011 and decreased 6.7% since December 31, 2010.
At September 30, 2011, the company's Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses totaled $1,423,000 and represented 2.51% of Gross Loans. At September 30, 2011, all of the company's loans were performing and there were no loans past due in excess of 30 days. In addition, the company has not experienced any loan charge-offs during the year. The Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio for AltaPacific Bank totaled 30.67% at September 30, 2011, which substantially exceeds the 10% minimum ratio for a well capitalized institution. The bank's regulatory capital ratios have continued to be among the highest of any commercial bank operating in California.
"The recent growth in deposits is directly related to the addition of our new branch in Rancho Cucamonga. At the end of September, the branch's deposits totaled $20 million, and accounted for 80% of the growth in the Company's deposits this past quarter," reported Allen R. Christenson, the Company's Chief Financial Officer. Continuing, Mr. Christenson stated, "Loan production continues to be a challenge during this economic environment. We have continually maintained a disciplined and conservative credit culture and find that our borrowers have remained cautious while looking for appropriate business opportunities."

Mike Jones - My Burner ft. Plies
Artist: Mike Jones
Producer: Akon
Album: The Voice of the Streets

When Mike Jones released his debut album, Who Is Mike Jones?, in April of '05, the record industry hadn't yet suffered the massive drop-off in revenue it's currently experiencing (remember- Jones nearly reached double platinum). Three years later, the Houston native hopes to release his long awaited follow-up,The Voice of The Streets, this April, after watching his American Dream DVD/CD go bust. While his current single Drop and Gimme 50 has remained stagnant at radio, My Burner, a collaboration with Plies, makes an entrance into our DJBooth. The track is an ode to Mike's favorite gun, and to show us how much he loves it, he graces the beat with his singing vocals. Yup, never a dull moment in this industry.

RSSI and receiver battery voltage (on sailplanes) are both useful, but I agree with those model types telemetry has limited use. However over time your flying may change, and if it does you will be glad you went for a telemetry enabled TX. If FrSky deliver on their promises you will be able to buy a TX with all the functionality of the very top end ($1500+) branded transmitters for a fraction of the price.

As I said, it's just rumor. On the other hand, show me any real competitor even with little higher prices.
This will come with FrSky firmware, but Open9x will take over very soon enabling everything possible. 16 channels, model match, voice telemetry, big lcd screen, ready for two RF systems. What is nearest competitor? Graupner MX-20 with "only" 12 channels and about 500 $ price tag. This should be no cheap quality radio like T9x that you should open, check soldering for lousy work. With terrible feeling gimbals. Requiring several hw mods to get it on just a little higher level (programming connector, telemetry, even backlight) and t9x comes even without any battery to make it super cheaper. New 9xr radio is just slightly modified t9x looking more cool, but still made to be super cheap radio, not quality radio. FrSky does not want to profile itself as cheap china junk company and quality costs some money. But even with some extra cost it still would be radio with the best quality+features / price ratio. Unbeatable with anything on the market. Also check price of the RF systems and receivers. Just using FrSky over turnigy pumps price higher. And expect FrSky RF system v3 to be more expensive than the v2 we have now cause development costs money too. |
Nov 22, 2012, 06:22 PM | ||
There are 10 types of people in the 9x crowd. Those who want a cheap radio, and those who want a capable radio. The first are well served by the low price, and enjoy the functionality as a "secondary" benefit. The second are there because of the awesome alternative firmwares that outperform anything on the market, without caring that much about price and would often gladly pay more for something a bit more sturdy. Those who want a cheap radio will have the 9XR, and will be able to run a great firmware on it. Those who want a capable radio will have the X9D with dual RF, voice, higher quality hardware, logging, no hacking needed... and an even improved flavour of the same great firmware. Currently some people buy 9Xs for $80 (that's the price from other sellers than HK). They add a $30 SmartieParts programmer and a $25 frsky module. That's already $135 for a radio you still have to open, mod, sometimes fix because it comes from the factory with defects, and which is of really low hardware quality. Other people buy the same $80 9x, add a $90 sky9x board, a better LCD for $30, a convenient wiring harness for $25, the $25 frsky module... $250 for more features, but still less capability than an X9D, still some hacking needed, and still the same low quality hardware. $190 for an X9D is a bargain. As said, an usual commercial radio that approaches it is 3x the price, AND there aren't even a lot of them in the first place (Graupner seems the closest indeed). And it's not open source, so you'll still have to change it the day you need a more complex model because it's artificially limited for marketing reasons. |

if Frsky can reach near the quality of Hitec radios at these prices, will be a serious alternative for all of futaba "orphans" that we can't renew our tx...
I applaud the choice of Frsky of not wanting to be a cheap brand... we don't need more... by the way, anybody knows if frsky has intentions of produce a 6 o 7 channel tx in the near future? the promising flysky T6 model has serious problems and nobody knows if will be fixed |

What a joke. I've never read anything so distorted to reenforce a distorted opinion.
Just maybe if they buy a 9XR they don't want a frsky module. Especially when it comes with a DSM2/X module already installed Quote:
And just for the record. I am considering buying either/both and currently have a DX8. So I am neither a Turnigy nor a Frsky junkie. |
Nov 23, 2012, 01:33 AM | |
Wow, steady on there. Kilrah did in fact state that "those who want a cheap radio will have the 9XR", and was just pointing out that many people who are currently not satisfied with a stock 9X go on to spend quite a bit more bringing it up to a level which will probably not be equivalent to the X9D. Seems like a reasonable point to me, even if I would prefer to pay $50 for a $500 radio.

If you read my post completely you will see I was identifying how he had tried to distort the price value and usability of the 9XR with unsubstantiated rubbish. |

The stock firmware is what holds it behind. You do not need smartieparts board to use the open source firmwares. $3 usb programmer is all you need. It is actually better with more secure soldered contacts compared to pogo stick which generally work but manuy have had their share of contact problems. The downside is you have to have some soldering skills but not very high level at that. Flash the firmware and add a $5 backlight at the same time for bling and you have a radio that in programming capability beats every radio under $1000 bracket. |

Extra bins? Winnipeg Harvest wants them
The City of Winnipeg and Winnipeg Harvest are joining forces to put old recycling bins to good use.
The city and the non-profit organization have scheduled three dates to collect the old bins.
Containers which are still usable will be picked up by Winnipeg Harvest, while unusable ones will be recycled by the city.
Winnipeg Harvest will use the old containers in a multitude of ways, including as emergency food hampers and warehouse storage. It will also be using them for its springtime Blue Box Gardening program, which aims to teach basic gardening and self-sufficiency skills to young visitors to Winnipeg Harvest.
"They're taught how to grow a garden in a blue box. It's all about connecting youth to the earth... making sure the youth know where their food comes from, and that Winnipeg Harvest is a food-secure building," said Chris Albi, communications co-ordinator for Winnipeg Harvest.
Albi said the partnership was formed after automated recycling bins were delivered to Winnipeg homes earlier this year and it was determined most blue boxes were not going to be used by homeowners.
"We partnered together and decided it was a good idea for the public, because there's going to be about a third of the public who will want to get rid of them," Albi said.
The first of the three collection days took place Nov. 10 at Winnipeg Harvest's Winnipeg Avenue location. The remaining collection dates are Sat., Nov. 17 at 1539 Waverley St. and Sat., Nov. 24 at the parking lot opposite 849 Ravelston Ave. W.
Winnipeg Harvest is also encouraging residents to drop off a "tin with the bin" when they bring their old blue bins to the sites.
Albi said that with approximately 64,000 people to feed each month, the agency will take as many bins as it can get.
"There's lots of things we can use them for," she said.

I cannot lie... the toddler can be excused for not knowing my birth day, but Barrack's handlers should have used Moffett Field rather than SFO. What a mess.

I have to agree with "Honest Abe". Why not use Moffett as it is ideally suited for such things and is much easier to secure than one of the biggest airports in the world. It was used by Bill Clinton and other important people and probably worked out very well. Even though it isn't an active military installation it offers a perfect place for these purposes. I wonder what the cost difference would be between tne two? Does our government have to pay the costs associated with using airports that the airlines do, such as landing fees, aircraft parking and servicing, extra security costs and other things airlines and private aircraft pay, or do the entities that control the airport absorb the cost? What about fuel cost? I would think it would save lots of money to do these things at govenment facilities. Either way, I hope the President got some commitments from his dinner companions that will help the average American and not just keep on leaving us wondering how we will pay our bills or someday retire.

He could have taken five minutes to call the "royal family" of Bahrain and made them an offer they couldn't refuse on dealing with the uprising. He is scum, he is Bush III. The Fifth Fleet is going to have to find a new place to park. I suggest Alameda.

I keep finding these bulbs an rhizomes in my compost and planting them out and about. None of them has ever done anything. But today I walked out my door and looked down and there was a daffodil all big and blooming. I've always wanted a daffodil. Maybe one day it will grow up into a clump of daffodils. Yay!
This entry is about
Day 0

We transplanted a bunch of daffodils that had been growing in a wooded area on our property. You had to almost crawl through brambles and brush to get to them so we figured it would be nice to put them somewhere we could enjoy. They did not bloom at all the first year they were transplanted. This year most of them have buds. So maybe it just takes time for them to adjust to a new location.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) July 14, 2014
Hypertrophy Max, an all new muscle building program created by 2 of the top body builders and trainers in the country, Vince Del Monte and Ben Pakulski designed to increase size and overall muscle strength through a series of very specific weight training exercises and workouts which has caught the attention of website owner Shane Michaels.
"When it comes to building muscle, what most people don't realize is that there is an extremely effective way to build muscle mass and overall size," says Michaels. "Most people try it for a little while with moderate or mediocre results. Or they begin to plateau and don't know what to do next, so they keep doing the same old routine expecting different results and it never happens. This program is designed to break through those barriers and limitations that hold people back and really focus on manipulating the variables so progress continues."
In order to effectively build strength, size and muscle mass, reaching beyond those barriers and plateaus, creators Vince Del Monte & Ben Pakulski break had to develop a system that focused primarily on teaching the core variables involved that make this happen. After much hard work, personal experience, and dedication, they came up with 12 unique hypertrophy models. Each module is crucial and extremely important for building mass.

The Hypertrophy Max curriculum includes:

Quick to set up and adjust, works smoothly and keeps the chain firmly in place even on high speed rocky descents! Excellent product and now much cheaper than 2 years ago!
Awesome. Upgraded from XT shadow mech (no clutch) and switched to 1x10 with a works components front chainring and no dropped chains. No real difference in performance to XT but looks SWEET!
Probably the smoothest, fastest shifting rear mech's made. I absolutely love the new XTR Shadow + design, form and function. Would highly recommend both XTR and XT rear Mech's.
Ordered the 986 to replace my 980 none clutch rear mech and has made a huge difference no more chain slap or jumping chains and the bike rides nearly silent.
Works perfectly as you would expect from XTR, the clutch system really makes everything quiet and smooth, it does increase the pressure needed at the lever end to change gear but I think it makes it feel better.
Great delivery from Merlin as normal.
Bought this M986 version (no where seemed to have a M985) for a jump bike I was putting together as both myself and my wife have run the M985 version without fault for the last 18months on our Scott Scales.
Pretty much identical to the M985 version except it's direct mountable by removing one piece of aluminium (i.e it'll fit a 2011/12 Scott Scale out of the box).
Perfect. Looks like it
The rear mech works like a dream no longer have my chain falling off over rock gardens would buy again
No chain chatter, primed for overtaking other riders on the track in stealth mode.
Great piece of kit. I use this clutch mech with a simple 'top only' chain guide on a 1x10 setup. I've never dropped a chain!

Great quality
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are the high quality you'd expect from Asolo. Great fit and stiff soles. The only downside is that the tongue is open almost to the toe, and if you walk in sand or gravel, plenty will make it inside the shoe.
Otherwise, a great shoe.

'Breaking Bad's' Last TCA: Vince Gilligan Talks Saul Goodman Spinoff, Cast Thanks Critics
The creator, joined by star Bryan Cranston, is leaving the door open for a prequel to his exiting AMC drama: "It's my fervent wish for it to happen."
According to three-time Emmy winner Bryan Cranston, it was the summer of 1978 on Coney Island when his alter-ego Walter White had his biggest turning point -- to eat or teach?
"He ate 38 and a half hot dogs and thought about entering the professional eating circuit," joked Cranston, who appeared with Breaking Bad castmates Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, RJ Mitte, Betsy Brandt and Bob Odenkirk at Friday's Television Critics Association press tour panel. (Dean Norris, who's appearing in CBS' Under the Dome, was unable to attend.)
"Hey, don't ruin the ending!" quipped series creator Vince Gilligan.
Of his Saul Goodman, Odenkirk said, "He's from Chicago and thinks anyone west of there is easy to manipulate." Gilligan also addressed the rumored prequel-spinoff featuring Goodman: "It's my fervent wish for it to happen, and I've been working with [Breaking Bad writer] Peter Gould to try and figure out what a Saul series would entail. I really hope it happens. It's for powers bigger than me to figure out."
PHOTOS: 'Breaking Bad' Principals Strike a Pose for THR's Cover Shoot
Mitte, who plays Cranston's teenage son, Walter Jr., said he channeled his own history with cerebral palsy to bring the condition of his character to life. "People don't realize you have disease that affects your muscles," he said, "and I really tried to use this."
Brandt, who will next appear as Michael J,. Fox's wife in the star's new NBC comedy, addressed the lingering mystery surrounding her and Gunn's characters' personal histories. "What happened with our parents?" she asked, laughing.
"I always felt that these two didn't have a happy childhood, so they had to stick together," agreed Gunn.
As for the private back story Paul created for his "bitch"-spouting Jesse Pinkman, Paul said he suspected Jesse was always "looking for father figure, and found that in Walt."
"He also always wanted to protect kids because he felt he never had that," he added.
The groundbreaking AMC series' final TCA panel also gave Gilligan and company an opportunity to reflect on the crucial push critics gave the risky series early in its six-year run. They also discussed some of the unexpected trajectories experienced by a few characters early on in the writers' room.
STORY: Vince Gilligan: 'I Cried' Writing 'Breaking Bad' Finale
"All these actors added immensely onion-like layers of wonderfulness, but I do think Dean Norris' character in particular served a limited function at the beginning," said Gilligan of Norris' cop character Hank Schrader. "He was kind of a frat boy, a mechanical construct. But Dean elevated him…. If you let folks in front and behind the camera add their personality and intellect, wonderful things derive from that."
As for Walt's notorious journey from "Mr. Chips to Scarface," Gilligan admitted that descriptor may ultimately not be accurate when the finale is fully realized. "I would say now that Walt's road to hell was paved by good intentions," he said. "It's a little like fame for some people: Does it turn people into creeps or ultimately reveal who they really are?"
Gunn addressed the frequent feedback from fans that her character Skyler -- Walt's beleaguered wife-turned-partner-in-crime -- was ultimately the villain. "People seem to put their dreams-deferred into Walter White and identified with him," she said. "I think you had to know less about her to see who he really was."
Of the intense online fan chatter surrounding Breaking Bad in its final weeks -- the first of the final eight episodes airs Aug. 11 -- Gilligan came clean with his coping mechanism.
"The series would never exist without critics or fans, and I feel guilty when I say this, but I don't spend any time looking up Breaking Bad or myself online," he said. "I've never Googled it!"

'Iron Man 3' Director Refocuses on 'Doc Savage'
Sony Pictures closes deal for film based on the classic pulp hero.
Doc Savage is back on the docket for Shane Black.
Sony Pictures says it's closed its deal with Black to co-write and direct the film based on the classic pulp hero.
Black began work on a screenplay in 2009, and decided to make it his directing vehicle in 2010 when the opportunity to direct Iron Man 3 came along.
Now with that movie out of the way, and on its way to earning $1 billion in global box office, Black is renewing his commitment to one of his favorite heroes.
Black co-wrote the screenplay with Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry. Neal H. Moritz is producing the project with Ori Marmur through his Original Film banner. Michael Usland will also serve as a producer on the film.
Sony is prepping to go all out with Savage and make it its next big franchise.
"We couldn't be more excited to be building a franchise from the ground up with Shane and this team," said Sony's president of production Hannah Minghella in a statement. "Shane and Neal have a fantastic understanding of the character and a great take on the material and we can't wait to get this production up and running."
Known as the Man in Bronze, Savage was a popular fixture on radio and magazines in the 1930s and 1940s. Savage had almost limitless skills – he was a surgeon, scientist, inventor – and possessed super-strength, was a master of disguise and more. He surrounded himself with a group of helpers and, from his office in the Empire State Building, fought villains bent on world domination.
Black is a huge fan of the pulp stories and has the original Savage books lining his book cases.
The character was translated into a Warner Bros. movie in 1975 produced by George Pal and starred Ron Ely.

This does moisturize and make my skin look better.
However it's too expensive for the results I'm getting... also feels like it loses potency over time... probably because it has vit c as the active ingredient and has a CLEAR JAR that has a wide mouth that you DIP your fingers in ... vit c degrades with air and light exposure.
I find this with all Ole Henrikson products... the right ingredients that ultimately fails from the poor packaging because whomever designed it, didn't have enough chemistry knowledge about the ingredients.
What hydration? should be the name of this product. I have oily skin and this left my skin feeling dry. I definitely need more moisture in my moisturizer. Maybe for those with really oily skin this would work, but I did not find this product to be overly impressive, especially for the price point. Additionally, if you want to wear this during the day, you need to layer sun protection over this product, which means you need to spend more money just to make this doable. At least this did not irritate my skin.
I currently use and love OH's Sheer Transformation, so I was excited to try my sample of Truth Creme. TC has a liquidy, serum-like consistency but it moisturizes really well. I woke up to super smooth and soft skin. However, the scent is pretty gnarly and smells like rotten oranges, so I would not use this in the morning under my makeup, although the consistency definitely works if you want to layer products. I was not a fan of any of OH's Orange scented products, including the vitamin c serum which is very popular, but I think the scent of the TC is different and worse.
The scent is quite off-putting. The creme itself is just okay. It is hydrating but somewhat greasy. I bought the small jar of this in a set on boxing day at Sephora. I would not purchase the full-sized product. I don't feel this is the proper product for my combination, dehydrated skin and do not feel it is worth the price. I would purchase the serum in lieu.
More reviews by Lostxinxwonderland
I got a sample of this in my Ipsy bag. It moisterized moderatly well and didn't break me out but I just can't get past the terrible smell. It smells like rotten citrus to me. Overall, for the price it's not worth it.
I feel kind of bad writing this review for 2 reasons, 1. I love Ole's Truth Serum, and 2. I only used the moisturizer two times ( I received it as a sample). I don't normally have such a strong reaction to product, but as soon as I put it on my face I was grossed out. The smell is so bad my dog was literally sneezing when I walked by him( he has a very sensitive nose), and the smell lasted forever. The consistency felt sticky and overall not good!!
This face cream works great for my sensitive skin. Calms it down, makes it look clear. I like the slight citrus scent. It absorbs immediately; will definitively buy again.
Wow, I'm really surprised at all the bad reviews on this. I'm glad I didn't read them before giving this a try. I have incredibly sensitive and reactive skin, if it doesn't cause a rash, it will cause a breakout, usually both at once. This is the first moisturizer I've tried that didn't do either AND still moisturized and calmed my combo/dehydrated skin.
The smell... I'm thinking many reviewers got old or bad product. Mine smells like orange cream. It can be a little overwhelming, especially at first but I don't think it smells bad and once applied the scent fades within minutes.
I do hate the stupid jar though. I depot 1/3 of it at a time into a small container and store the remainder in a closet but I would much rather see this in a pump bottle.
This, along with The Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion and oil cleansing, have saved my skin this winter.
Ugh maybe it is supposed to smell fresh like an orange or citrus acid but it smells like sweaty armpit. also it leaves my skin oily and i had breakouts using this cream.
i do not recommend this cream.
To get the most obvious thing out of the way--this moisturizer reeks. It's supposed to smell like citrus (so you'd think it would be refreshing), but to me it smells like a mix of orange peels and liquorice. I have been using it for a few weeks, along with the truth vitamin C serum and the eye cream, and I've basically gotten used to the scent.. but man, the first day it smelled really bad.
This is a decent moisturizer that, in my opinion, is overpriced and poorly packaged. I really wish they had gone with a pump dispenser or a tube instead of a tub, because it feels unsanitary dipping my finger into the same container twice a day. The tub packaging also means that all the active ingredients, like the extracts and antioxidants, end up getting oxidized by exposure to the air, and potentially contaminated if you store the moisturizer in the bathroom, where it's warm and damp after a shower. This really cuts out the beneficial effects of the cream.
I also find that this offers pretty light hydration considering that it's marketed for all skin types. I have oily/combination skin that goes closer to normal/combination in the winter, and I end up mixing this moisturizer with a drop of argan oil to make it more hydrating.
Honestly for 56 bucks (the price at Sephora in Canada) you would do way better buying a basic-but-effective moisturizer like CeReVe, and spending your cash on a well-packaged serum (a pump with a dark bottle or opaque tube) that contains antioxidants for a more effective skincare regimen.
