Awesome Written By Anonymous, New London, Connecticut on Monday, April 27, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This stuff is magic. I was sceptical when I bought it because I had significant rattle behind my speakers on light-weight doors, and nothing I already tried had worked. After a very quick install my mind was blown by the improvement to sound quality. Pros: Easy and quick install, easy to cut, huge impact on sound deadning Cons: A tad pricey but worth it
A MUST. Written By Randy B, Texas on Wednesday, March 18, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) DON'T install new speakers without this product. You will realize the true potential of your sound equipment with this. Pros: See review Cons: N/A
I like Written By Chris, RL paso, TX on Sunday, March 08, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very nice product-actually makes sound from door speakers 'cleaner' also kills road noise (a little). It's kind of messy, pay attention while installing...
Dynamat-2009 Ford F150 Written By J.R., Arkansas on Sunday, February 01, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Never used this product before, but when installing my new speakers in all 4 doors of my 2009 Ford F150 SuperCrew, I decided that what this product claimed to do sounded like it made since to use. I must say that it did everything it claimed to do. It was easy to use and made a very solid, and vibration proof mounting surface. It isolates the speakers from direct contact with the metal doors. I am glad I purchased. Pros: Quality produce, easy to use, packaged well Cons: None
Dynamat Written By Anonymous, Arizona on Wednesday, December 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to use.
Dynamat Extreme Written By jb, 50th State on Tuesday, September 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've used this product since it was introduced. Same materials and formulation...nothing changed. Pros: Absorbs sheetmetal "tinny" sound. Stays put, will not move. No smell. Cons: Almost impossible to remove or reposition product. It's sticky...almost gooey when heated. Adds alot of weight to the vehicle. Amount of material does not equate cost...a little expensive.
Dynamat Written By Lou S., Oakland Gardens NY on Monday, August 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Deadens vibration .Will use from now on
THESE MATS ARE A MUST Written By PAUL H, RIVERSIDE, CA on Wednesday, August 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I HIGHLY RECOMEND USING THESE DYNAMATS BEHIND YOUR SPEAKERS, THEY DO WHAT THEY ARE DESIGNED TO DO, ZERO VIBRATION FROM THE OUTSIDE AND NO METTAL RATTLING INSIDE. Pros: DOES WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. Cons: NONE
Dynamat 10415 Xtreme Speaker Kit Written By somebodyelse, Fort Pierce, FL on Friday, August 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Deadens the door panel and smooths out the sound of the speakers. Prevents the door from ringing and resonating. Pros: Easy to install. Improves the sound nicely. Cons: None
Amazing difference... Written By Teddy, Birmingham, AL on Friday, July 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replace stock speakers in the rear cargo area of a 2003 Nissan Xterra. The new speakers caused a horrible rattling sound as the bass vibrated the metal quarter-panels. I installed Dynmat against the quarter-panel behind the mounted speaker and it completely corrected the problem. I also cut pieces of Dynamat around the mounting screw holes of the speakers for added protection against vibration. This stuff is amazing and I highly recommend it. Pros: Excellent results Cons: A little costly for what it is, but I would purchase this again in a heartbeat.
What needs to be said? Written By J, Birmingham, AL on Friday, June 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We used the Dynamat 10415 in our 2004 Altima front doors to try and cure vibrations and rattales we were getting. Needless to say I am a big fan of using Dynamat - so we installed on sheet per door and it made a huge difference in sound quality. No more vibrations, no more rattles. Super easy to work with. Great product at a fair price. Do not install without if you want to squeeze every last bit of performance out of the speakers you are installing. Pros: Peel & Stick install Easy to cut/trim to fit Conforms to all door shapes Molds around corners, bumps etc... Superior performance Cons: Came with two decals - they did not match
Dynamat 10415 Xtreme Speaker Kit Written By Anonymous, SD, CA on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to install, I like to think that it helps keep the inside of my truck a little quieter. Expensive for what it is. Pros: It works? Cons: Price seems a little high
dynamat extreme Written By eric, lemoore,ca on Thursday, April 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) works great. too bad they dont still sell the regular dynamat though. Pros: works as advertised, stops rattles in doors. Cons: regular dynamat would have worked just as well for my particular application
Great product Written By Bob g, Pittsburgh, PA on Wednesday, April 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The dynamat worked great in reducing the vibrations in my doors
Great product Written By Aaron Campbell, Scottsdale, AZ on Saturday, March 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have used this product in all of my vehicles to help insulate the sound of my subwoofers and to reduce rattles. It does not eliminate all of them, but close to 95% success rate. I would recommend Dynamat to anyone that is interested in sound deadening materials. Great Brand!! Pros: Works as advertised Cons: None
Dynamat Written By Mark D, Ludlow Ma on Saturday, February 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This made great speakers sound even better, now you can turn up the volume and still have great sound Pros: Easy to install Cons: none
Firm believer in usage of Dynamat Written By None, Nashville, TN on Wednesday, February 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This stuff makes all the difference. Can get a little expensive, but seriously worth the money. If you are going to pay to have new speaker in your car, spend a little extra and make sure your panels and/ or doors don't vibrate. Pros: Worth the money. Takes care of any and all vibrations Cons: A little expensive
first time buyer off online Written By curtis, United States on Wednesday, February 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was a surprise I ordered it thinking I will try it out but did not expect that big of a change in sound, and noise form my vehicle to be reduced as well as it was. thank you for suggesting this product. Pros: easy to install and a very economical enhancement with very good results Cons: N/A

Dynomat Written By Dynomat review, Granger, In on Sunday, November 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice product with easy application. Of course, the important part, it works. Pros: Easy install and lots of application examples. Cons: Expensive
Excellent product Written By Anonymous, Columbia, SC on Tuesday, September 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works exactly as described. Provides weight to my front doors and has eliminated rattles. Pros: Excellent product Cons: none
Dynamat 10415 Xtreme Speaker Kit Written By Jon, Fayetteville, NC on Friday, August 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This product was very easy to use...easy to cut and apply to the car doors when installing new speakers. Did not interfere with the installation of the speakers.
Good Product Written By LesV, Broken Arrow, Okla. on Wednesday, June 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good product, really cuts down on vibration from the speaker and road noise as well. Pros: Really help's out with noise. Cons: A little sticky but it is Dynamat after all, it's suppose to stick
Dynamat Written By Scarbelli, 60051 on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 Big rip-off.. what you get for what you pay is a joke. The tiny sheets wouldn't cover the door of a homemade go-cart. I feel like a fool for getting suckered into buying this. Pros: non noticed Cons: fundamentally invaluable
Dynamat 10415 Xtreme Speaker Kit Written By Anonymous, Chula vista, CA on Monday, April 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) a must have
a MUST for any vehicle Written By Jeremy, Seattle, WA on Friday, March 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've used Dynamat in all of my cars, and will only buy from Crutchfield. If you're new to Dynamat, you should seriously consider making the purchase. Not only will it greatly improve the quality of your soundsystem, but it will greatly cut down the road noise coming through your doors. I recommend putting sheets on both sides of your front doors, as well as sheets in the back. If you're running a subwoofer in your trunk, consider getting a Dynamat trunk kit as well for your vehicle! Pros: Unparalleled ability to block out road noise and support your speakers in getting their full potential. Cons: Can be a little tricky on your first installation, but after that, it's a breeze!
Great product Written By Bobsharonc, Derby ks on Monday, November 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Really keeps out buzzing a other noises. Clearer sounds.
Dynamat Written By Mark, Leesburg, VA on Monday, September 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have used this stuff 3 times now. It works great, and takes away almost all vibration sounds. You have to get this stuff right the first time though, its a pain to remove and adjust. Pros: Great stuff, helps take away vibrating sounds Cons: Would like to see a black color dynamat. I can see the silver through the speaker grills in my truck. Its just a minor irritation.
It's Dynamat!!! Written By Anonymous, San Antonio on Wednesday, July 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works as it should of course.....it's Dynamat
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Written By Todd, New York on Tuesday, April 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good product, WAY too expensive. Pros: Works as advertised. Cons: In my opinion, Dynamat is taking advantage of the consumer. This product should not be as expensive as it is. Look for other alternatives that work just as well. Crutchfield should do this also...
Dynamat 10415 Xtreme Speaker Kit Written By Anonymous, Colorado on Sunday, March 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Not much material is included with this kit. Easy to apply.
Dynamat 10415 Xtreme Speaker Kit Written By Anonymous, Sacramento, CA on Wednesday, November 16, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought a pair of Infinity Reference and this dynamat. Installed without the dynamat and listened to it for a few weeks. Then I pulled it all apart and installed the dynamat. Not money well spent. The resonance went down a tad when I had the bass all the way up. But since I don't listen to music with the bass all the way up it did not matter. No noticeable improvement. Sorry guys... I imagine if you installed on the whole door it would quiet outside noise. However, this tiny square, does not cut it. More like one of those add-ons people like to tell their friends they added. Then because they spent the money they tell themselves it works. Well if I went from stock to new quality speakers with this installed immediately I probably would tell people it works. But I know better now. Having tried with and without, I would not buy this twice. Pros: Concept Cons: Wasted money
Best $ I've Spent Written By BD, Atl on Thursday, August 26, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) When I bought my speakers these were a throw in....best money I have spent. It was easy to intall and very noticeably made a difference in how the speakers sound.
Happy Camper Written By LarryG, Roseville, CA on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Ordered some Polk Speakers for my son's Chevy Colorado and took advantage of the Dynamat 10415 special offer. All I can say is that this stuff made a significant difference in the sound of his new speakers; especially in the bass department. Using the stock HU, he can experience the same amount of bass as my daughter's stock Nissan Sentra Audio System (which is pretty amazing for stock). There's really no need for a new HU now and a sub would be overkill. I'm sure a "some results may vary" disclaimer is needed here, but I'm a beliver enough to order 2 more sets of the Dynamat speaker kits and will be placing them behind the 4 speakers in my own truck. Last thing...the use of gloves suggestion is warranted. You could easily cut yourself with this stuff. Well worth the risk, but be careful.
Does the job and more Written By daniel, Alliance, Oh on Friday, April 10, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recommend getting the door package rather than just the speaker package. I used Dynamat extreme door package on the front doors of my Honda Accord (which has aftermarket speakers and an amp.) Not only does it do the job of soundproofing (yes the car is much quieter) it is amazingly easy to put on and work with. I am so satisfied with the result I am going to do the rear doors next week. Also I must say the instructions that Crutchfield sent for removing the door panels were nothing short of excellent. Gave me the confidence to do it myself. I used a wallpaper roller wrapped with duct tape rather than the Dynamat roller. And also found that a butter knife is excellent for getting under the door panel to pop it off the tabs underneath. To do a "perfect" job I should have removed all the bolts (electric window motor mounts) but I just didn't want to go to that extreme. Instead I just cut out a hole to expose those bolts and worked around them. Also on my Honda I used some of the old plastic to cover some of the openings and just held it down with Dynamat. Seems to work well that way. Extreme bass is solid with no annoying door vibrations and the high end is now much cleaner without that awful sharp metallic sound. Fantastic product.
Dynamat 10415 Xtreme Speaker Kit Written By Enrique, Rio Rancho, NM on Sunday, February 22, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent product. It was easy to work with and flexible enough to cover all the contours of the vehicle. Improved the sound considerably, and decreased the rattling in the doors.
Solid Written By Mike, columbia, PA on Sunday, January 18, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) took out the annoying rattle in my rear deck. I'd use it on my entire car if I had the money.
Worth every penny Written By John, Parsippany, NJ on Friday, November 21, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wow, who would have thought these little guys would make such a big difference. At first I installed the speakers without it. There was noticeable lack of bass. Then I changed my mind and took out the speakers and slapped these guys in there. Boy what a difference in bass response. With the money I spent on the speakers these give you big bang for the buck. The sheets are really easy to work with - very pliable, stick really well. They say to cut a hole where the speaker goes, but I thought of a trick - if you cut an "X" into the center, you can mount the 10x10 sheet and then bend back the four corners of the "X" and stick them onto the interior surface of the door cavity. Then just easily cut out where the little holes are where you fasten the speaker onto the door and you're done. Be very careful - you're cutting/slicing aluminum, and you *will* get little cut/nicks, almost guaranteed unless you wear gloves. I had like 5 band-aids on my hands after this job - just small nicks, but you gotta just be careful. Especially in the rear I had to cut these into like 30 pieces to completely cover the metal housing which had lots of weird shapes and corners. But again - definitely worth it.
definitely does the job Written By TrainSpotteR, College Station, TX on Monday, March 03, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) i purchased two packs of Dynamat Xtreme to reduce vibration directly under my new door speakers. It may not be quite as thick as the competition, but it gets the job done.
a little goes a long way Written By Lawrence, Florida on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I used Dynamat around the four speakers I recently installed in my truck. The product is very easy to use (peel and stick), and it's relatively clean (the main material is like black tar but relatively easy to remove from your skin). While one can certainly use Dynamat most everywhere there is bare metal, just using it a bit around the car speakers makes a very big difference. There is much less vibration and distortion to contend with, especially with the speakers on the front doors. However if your system really pumps out a lot of power I would use Dynamat more freely. So I am now a Dynamat fan. I will certainly buy this product again.
Dynamat 10415 Xtreme Speaker Kit Written By Andrew, Dallas, TX on Wednesday, May 02, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed one piece behind each of 4 speakers -- 2 in the front doors, 2 in the rear deck. Even this small amount noticeably dampened road noise, especially with the system playing. Even at low volumes, the music comes through much clearer and less muddled by ambient noise. The sound from all 4 is now fuller, richer, more robust, and cleaner.CAREFUL WITH THE ALUMINUM LAYER once you've made a cut -- it will slice you very, very easily. I threw on a pair of gloves for the second set after a quick first-aid job on 2 fingers.... ;-)
pretty decent Written By matt, Michigan on Wednesday, March 21, 2007 This stuff is good. i think i had to high of expectations for it though. it gets rid of some of the smaller raddles completely, but some of the larger ones can still be heard when the volume is cranked up. good product overall though.
Works, but not as well as expected. Written By Ryan, Kansas City, MO on Tuesday, February 13, 2007 I had this installed in all 4 corners of my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport. Install was easy. You can notice the difference in sound, but it wasn't what i expected. My expectations might have been to high, though. It makes a noticable difference but it will NOT get rid of all the raddles in your door. I also wish that it was is was more adherable to plastic. All in all it is a decent product.
get your speakers at its full potential! Written By diluvium, SAV, GA! on Thursday, January 18, 2007 I got this kit to get rid of the vibration on my front door speakers and its the best thing youll ever buy.check this, all those vibration noises you hear out your door speakers is actually a part of the music. when there is vibration noises thats actually your bass notes trying to come out of your speaker. all of the noise frequencies under 100hz (BASS notes) will sound distorted if vibration noises occurs, so with dynamat your trying to get rid of that vibration to get the correct noise to your ears!results: CLEANER BASS. all the vibration noise that is now dampened becomes in an actual music note in the songs; meaning CLEARER SOUND and noticable music notes you would not hear cause of the vibration.theres only 1 thing wrong (1 star down) with this dampener sheets period, they are NOT WATERPROOF! because the sheets has aluminum metal on top, CONDENSATION occurs easily through cold weathers!!! i am unsure if this problem will wear or damage your speakers but those dynamat sheets hold alot condensation!! BE AWARE!
If your serious about sounds you have to Dynamat Written By medfordpoker, Medford, MA on Friday, November 10, 2006 Dynamat is a must when your taking the time to put new speakers in or if you just added a sub woofer. I wish I could give a good analogy to describe how much better music sounds when it is properly dampened. I decided to upgrade my 2006 Dodge Charger with Premium MQ Quarts, Alpine amps and head unit and a JL Audio Sub but after it was installed it sounded good..way better than the factory unit, but something was missing. So I asked my local audio installer and they said I should (actually demanded) that I dynamat the front and rear speakers with the 10 X 10 speaker sheets. So one saturday I opened up the doors and took off the rear dash unhooked the spears and put the dynamat on. Overall it took 2 hours start to finish. Was it worth it?....YES!!!!. I would have never thought 4 pieces of dampening could make so much difference. The mid range sounds so clear that I was able to turn my volume up 4 more nothces (from 21 to 25)!! Since the speaker kit worked so well I bought the trunk kit and put that in to. I was even more impressed with those results, my trunk and rear view mirror barely rattle anymore. I found the trunk kit to be small for my car so I bought 2 more sheets and now every inch of the trunk is covered and I couldn't be happier with the results. For around $200, installing dynamat made my car sound better than I could have ever imagined.
Good Stuff Written By Jamie, Baltimore, MD on Monday, October 16, 2006 Installed four new speakers with my factory stereo and the rear roof speaker trim rattled like crazy. Put a 10x10 sheet of dynamat on the metal roof behind each speaker and it solved the problem. Made the speakers sound better in general also. Worth the price to fix the problem.
Dynamat 10415 Xtreme Speaker Kit Written By Dave, Pittsburgh, PA on Wednesday, March 29, 2006 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought two speaker kits and put them around the speakers in my doors. They do not shake or rattle. The bass is actually very clean and tight, the way it's supposed to be. Eventually I'm going complete my Jeep Liberty and put it under my hood, on the fire wall, on my floor, on my hatch, and finish my doors. I can only imagine how my music is going to sound after that. Not to mention how much of a reduction in road noise I will notice.It is very easy to install, especially the Xtreme. The price is a little high but you can do your entire car for $150. Again, great product.
Amazing Stuff Written By Nicholas, Derby, KS on Thursday, February 23, 2006 This stuff is amazing. I have it around all 4 of my speakers. i need some more to put around the back of my Jeep. high priced but very well worth it!
A MUST HAVE Written By Brynn, CA on Friday, September 09, 2005 if youre serious about having a good system that sounds great inside and outside of the car, you cant go without this stuff. you dont look cool driving by and people can hear more rattling than bass.

Great sound and value Written by Jude, Director, Digital Imaging, on 7/10/2014 9:24:00 AM My son just purchased a newer car, a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire and the sound system it came with was, well, awful. We sat down together and planned a system and since he was on a budget we decided we would go with our house brand Sound Ordnance for most of it, and we are not disappointed. We installed the P65-C in the rear deck using the SA69 6X9 adapter. We then installed the P-40 in the front doors with fabricated brackets we made from the 12x12 sheet of ABS #1208900903 and then used the Dynamat #15410415 to seal it all up and add sound deadening to the doors. We chose the JVC KD-R950BT for the Bluetooth and the generous power the internal amplifier has, plus the abundant color choices made it easy to match the red backlighting in the Pontiac. We needed bass so we used the Sound Ordnance B-24 and the Rockford Fosgate #575P500X1B we had from his previous vehicle and connected it using the EFX 8 gauge wiring kit #142PA8. We spent a Sunday working on this project and have to say it exceeded my expectations on sound. It sounds clear, the bass hits as hard as you want and the total price was well within his budget. This is a great system and it was also a great day spent with my son.

Perceptions of Fairness and Justice: The Shared Aims & Occasional Conflicts of Legitimacy and Moral CredibilityJosh BowersUniversity of Virginia School of Law Paul H. RobinsonUniversity of Pennsylvania Law School 2012 Wake Forest Law Review, Vol. 47, Pg. 211, 2012 University of Penn Law School, Public Law Research Paper No. 11-13 Abstract: A growing literature on procedural fairness suggests that there is practical value in enhancing a criminal justice system's "legitimacy" with the community it governs by adopting and implementing fair enforcement practices and adjudicative procedures. A separate literature suggests that there is practical value in enhancing the system's "moral credibility" with the community by distributing criminal liability and punishment according to principles that track the community's shared intuitions of justice. In this Article, we examine the shared aims and the similarities in the operation and effect of these two criminal justice dynamics as well as the occasional differences in effect and potential for conflict. By comparing the two dynamics, the article moves forward debates that – though rich and important – have grown stagnant. Specifically, legal scholars have tended to invoke the two dynamics too casually, to ignore one but not the other, or to conflate or confuse the two. This article provides a useful and necessary analytic framework for further exploration into the advantages and limits of moral credibility and legitimacy. Finally, the article stakes out tentative positions within the on-going debates. That is, it endorses the prevailing view that moral credibility and legitimacy are promising – indeed, critical – systemic enterprises that may carry significant crime-control advantages, and the article concludes that – for empirical and theoretic reasons – moral credibility ought to be the principal objective in uncommon circumstances in which a system may effectively pursue only one.

In order to prepare leaders to engage more fully in healing ministries, Wesley Theological Seminary is building the Heal the Sick Program, led by Wesley Downtown. Through this community-based ministry collaboration, Wesley Theological Seminary will equip ministry leaders who will support congregations' development of health ministries and link such ministries with hospitals, community organizations, public health institutions, and health care providers. Modeled after promising practices in other communities, we believe that collaboration among health ministries and with these providers will reduce health disparities, particularly reaching out to the poor and improving the health of those in greatest need.
If you would like more information about the Heal the Sick program or would like to work with us in the District of Columbia, Greater Baltimore, or Northern Virginia regions, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 202-706-6838.

River Maps: Middle Mississippi
The middle portion of the Mississippi River watershed, rendered as an urban transit network. Why is the lower right section so empty, when it contains many tributaries of the Ohio, which is part of the Mississippi system, you ask? Well, I have specific rules as to how I draw these — the Ohio connects to the Mississippi just off the map. If a river's connection is off the map, it's not shown even if some of the body of the river would be in the map window. I want to emphasize the network and its connections, and to my mind showing rivers without showing how they connect distracts from this purpose.
This map features the following rivers, creeks, forks (etc.): Mississippi (part), Turkey, Wisconsin, Wapsipinicon, Rock, Iowa, Cedar, Des Moines, Raccoon, Illinois & Kankakee, Fox, Sangamon, Kaskaskia, Missouri (part), Gasconade (part), Osage & Marais des Cygnes, Chariton, Grand, Kansas & Smoky Hill (part), Nishnabotna, Little Sioux.

Please...no more Yuna vs. Mao posts please!!!
I'm so tired of it. It always turns into a pissing contest between Yunabots and Maobots.
Agreed, but your very mention of it here is going to bring them out. Best just to not say anything and let the fire burn down the house.
Personally I'm getting incredibly annoyed too...... And well these two haven't even freakin meet yet...
So if they keep them up... admin... ban them from further use of this great forum for their nonsense.
ITA w/visaliakid. If they can't behave after repeated warnings *and* driving everyone nuts, then it's time for them to be booted.
I'd hate to see this place fall into the dumps like other boards I've known over the years just because of a few crazed fans who can't play well w/others.
It's happened before. I will tell you that the board had its hands full with the Kwan vs. NonKwan nonsense during the last Olympic cycle. If it can survive that, I'm sure it will survive this. And that rift was among long-time members...this one seems to be mostly among new posters. Most of the main offenders seem to have less than 200 posts and were all registered this year.
I agree about the banning. I mean there's a line of course. You can't ban people for just comparing skaters..However, this is going beyond that. But this is getting out of control and I'm afraid of what it will be like tommorrow after Mao skates. I doubt we'd even be able to have a civil debate about the two girls.
Just you wait until the GPF where they will likely go head-to-head!!!!!!
You do! Click on User CP (upper left-hand corner). On menu on the left, scroll down to "Edit Ignore List."
(To posters who have receive infraction notices within the last few days, remember, three and you are automatically banned.)
BTW, Bekalc, I see you need only two more posts to hit 1000!
I wonder if other English boards (i.e. FSU) are experiencing this same issue as well? I doubt this is a GS-only phenomenon, because I can only imagine how nasty things are getting on the Japanese/Korean forums. Makes me shudder just thinking about it.
It's actually not been a problem yet on FSU this year. There was one is Yu-na a regular underrotater thread that was shot down quickly. I suggest the reason it's not a problem is because in order to get into the good sections, you have to pay. And I suspect the spammers don't care enough to pay...

Jules Massenet
1842 - 1912
Lyric drama in four acts (five scenes)
Libretto by Edouard Blau, Paul Milliet and Georges Hartmann after the novel The sufferings of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
World premiere February 16th 1892, Court Opera, Vienna
Sung in french with german surtitles
Duration: c. 2hrs. 30 mins. with one interval
About the Piece
Dream! Ecstasy! Bliss! – Werther retreats into a dream world of poetry in his constant search for powerful emotions. Charlotte, in whom he sees an angel, virgin and mother, seems to embody everything he longs for. But she is not strong enough to fight against the restraints of day to day life, and her duty. Charlotte marries Albert, as her dead mother had wished, and surpresses her feelings until Werther tries to break all boundaries by committing suicide. Massenet's heart-breaking opera, and this sensitive Willy Decker production, is not only about Werther. Unlike Goethe's novel, written in letter form, Charlotte, Albert and Sophie gain autonomy, vividness and depth of character. And while Goethe's Werther places the influence of poetry on life in the foreground, Massenet's lyrical opera is about the power of music: Werther and Charlotte dance, falling in love, removed from reality, to the rhythm of a waltz. The spoken word, announcing Albert's return for example, are disturbing factors that interrupt this musically generated world of dreams.
The Bailli is trying to teach his children a carol. Johann and Schmidt ask him to come for a drink but he can't because his daughter Charlotte is going to a ball with Werther because her fiancé, Albert, is away. Albert returns unexpectedly. He asks Sophie to keep his return a secret. Charlotte and Werther return from the ball, they find it difficult to part. She hears that Albert is back and tells Werther that she promised her dying mother that she would marry him. Horrified, Werther says that she must keep her oath, even though it will kill him. 3 months later. Werther sees Charlotte and Abert going to church. He is obsessed by his love and by the hopelessness of his position. Albert feels guilty that he so happy when Werther is so sad. Werther again professes his love to Charlotte, who tells him he must leave and not see her again, but then relents, saying he may visit at Christmas. Albert realises that Werther is still in love with his wife. Christmas. Charlotte, reading Werther's letters, realises that she loves him. She begs God to protect her from herself and Werther. He begs her againto admit her love for him but she orders him to go. Albert comes home, senses the tense atmosphere. A servant brings word from Werther announcing his immediate departure and asking for the loan of a pistol. Albert orders Charlotte to give it to the messenger. Driven by foreboding she hurries off. Werther has shot himself. Charlotte arrives. He begs her not to call for help. She confesses that she has loved him from the first moment and grants him their first, and last kiss.

Spring Wildflower Hikes
ATLANTA, January 24, 2011 - Longer days, warmer weather and eye-catching blooms like dogwoods, azaleas and irises are sure signs of Spring. To celebrate the season, Georgia State Park rangers are hosting a series of guided wildflower hikes throughout the state providing nature enthusiasts a close-up look at these spectacular blooms.
Spring bloom hikers will look for Canada Violet, Trout Lily, Wild Azalea, Spring Beauty, Foamflower, Trillium, Indian Pink, Buckeye and many more native blooms. The wildflower hikes are hosted by state parks that have a large number of native plants, including Sweetwater Creek, Amicalola Falls, Unicoi, Tallulah Gorge and Mistletoe.
For those interested in exploring the backcountry trails on their own, Providence Canyon, Cloudland Canyon and Panola Mountain state parks also offer popular wildflower viewing spots. Panola Mountain features the rare Red Diamorpha and magnificent Atamasco Lily, and Providence Canyon is home to the Big Leaf Magnolia, which are awe-inspiring at 24 inches wide.

Taylor Mae is the kind of easy-going girl who will let you watch your favorite football team and give you a blowjob during halftime. Hell, she might even let you balance a beer and a bowl of nachos on her back. Taylor doesn\'t mind doing all the work because she loves cock. She\'ll take a cock in her hands and kiss it from the root to the tip. But that\'s only the beginning. Once she works her way all the way down until she\'s got every inch in her throat, grab onto her pigtails and hold on because her head will be bobbing up and down so fast and deep that your cock will be knocking at her tonsils. She finishes him off by slapping his cock on her face and leaving strings of cum dripping off her chin.
We scored a touchdown with Taylor Mae!

Hamilton looks to spark Halos in finale at Wrigley
Angels seek split of two-game Interleague series with Cubs
Maybe it's no coincidence that Josh Hamilton didn't get a hit for the first time in 13 games on Tuesday and the Angels lost.
The Angels have quietly been playing solid baseball over the last month or so. They've won 16 of their past 24 games, and Hamilton has had his fingerprints all over their recent success.
The Angels are 10-0 in the last 10 games in which Hamilton has driven in a run.
Overall this season, they're 18-6 when the former American League MVP has an RBI. They're 25-40 when Hamilton is held without an RBI.
"Josh is moving towards what we hope will be the normal production we expect from a player of his caliber, and he's been swinging the bat much better," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said recently.
Hamilton and the Angels will close out a two-game Interleague set with the Cubs on Wednesday before a day off Thursday and three straight against the Mariners leading into the All-Star break.
While Hamilton is still hitting .227, well below his .296 career average, he's been heating up, as have the Angels.
"It is about, 'What have you done for me lately,' no matter what," Hamilton said last week. "I haven't done a whole lot, but I felt good this last road trip, coming back home, having good at-bats."
"This is a long season," Albert Pujols said. "I went through it last year, I'm going through it again this year. You stay positive, man. People don't understand what you go through every day and how hard it is because they don't get to see you every day. ... We know this is a long season, and good players like him, they find a way to figure it out. At the end of the season, I think his numbers are going to be there. As long as he stays simple -- and myself, too -- and not try to be a hero."
With a fastball that averages 95 mph, Jeff Samardzija will take the mound for the Cubs on Wednesday looking to get back to his early-season success.
Samardzija struck out at least seven batters in nine of his first 13 starts this season but hasn't reached seven strikeouts in five straight. It might not be a concern if it wasn't paired with an increase in walks.
Over his last 34 1/3 innings, the right-hander has struck out 25 batters and walked 13, including five in his last outing, when he gave up five runs in a loss to the Pirates.
"There was no fastball command at all," manager Dale Sveum said. "There were a lot of fastballs, and he couldn't get ahead, couldn't put anybody away, kept missing by a ball on the plate."
Samardzija will try to outduel C.J. Wilson, who has allowed one earned run in his last two starts while striking out 15. The Angels lefty is 4-1 in his past five starts.
Angels: Pujols questionable for Wednesday
With National League rules in play, the Angels may opt to rest Pujols for Wednesday's game at Wrigley Field.
The 33-year-old has played 54 games as the designated hitter this year and just 33 games at first base. He's hit .264 as the DH and .226 as the first baseman.
Asked if Pujols would be in the lineup Wednesday after he played in the field Tuesday, Scioscia said, "We're going to play tonight and see what happens."
Cubs: Bogusevic almost ready
Brian Bogusevic was hitting .290 before he was forced to the bench on July 4 with tightness in his left hamstring.
But the left-handed slugger could return as soon as Thursday when the Cubs will face the Cardinals.
"He's pretty close," Sveum said. "It looks like the way things have gone the last couple days, by the Cardinals series on Thursday, he should be ready to play in a game. I think he's at the point where he can pinch-hit and stay on the bases instead of using a pitcher to pinch-run before."
Bogusevic could boost the offensive production of an outfield that has included Julio Borbon and his .198 average.
Worth noting
• Travis Wood may get a chance to pitch in the All-Star Game, despite a scheduled start on Sunday. Wood, the lone representative from the Cubs, could pitch an inning on Tuesday, depending how Sunday goes.
• Alfonso Soriano is in vintage form lately. He homered twice Tuesday and has eight homers in his last 11 games.
• Hamilton started in left field Tuesday, allowing Mark Trumbo to get his at-bats in right field. Scioscia said that's a comfortable place for each of them to play, and Hamilton doesn't mind playing left field, if needed, to get Trumbo's powerful bat into the lineup.
• Angels shortstop Erick Aybar is hitting .303 since the beginning of June.

Loc: Caribbean Rules of Hogwash for newbies and not-so-newbies.
this is harder than it looks, since we have been running full-tilt-amok for quite some time since last any rules were posted; but I am going to paste them in here and try to edit out all of the blatant rulishness.
to start, the moderator/hogmaster® posts a [really] obscure word and asks for definitions to be submitted via PM, usually within a se'nnight (seven nights). at that point the submittals are grouped into a post and polling proceeds. voting usually continues until all of the contributors have had a chance to vote, or until polls are arbitrarily closed by the hogmaster.
Rule A is: the points don't matter
[someone asks] Do those of us who contributed daffynitions get to vote? I was confused on this point by the first round. One gets to in Balderdash.
yes, in the normal course of the game only the contributors would vote. we've liberalized the rules to let everyone participate. my interpretation [has been that contributor votes count for more than onlooker votes]. here are the rules again, as amended to date:
1. [points are] given to each player for every vote (or guess) his phony definition receives.
2. points are awarded to each player who chooses the true meaning.
3. points are given to the moderator only if none of the players choose the true meaning.
4. [no] points are awarded to any player who submits a definition which is similar or very close to the correct meaning [rather, the moderator shall request a resubmittal]
5. If two or more players submit a definition per rule 4 (in the judgment of the moderator), the round will be thrown out with no points scored (or the moderator can disqualify obvious attempts to sabotage the game :-Þ )
6. A player may vote for her own definition but scores points only for those others she can bluff into also voting for that definition.. (i.e., you can't get a rule 1 point [voting for your own def'n!])
scoring, such as it is with points not mattering, is virtually at the whim of the moderator/hogmaster® [see latest round, e.g.]. whinging to the hogmaster, while encouraged, has been shown to be completely ineffectual.
there have been several hogmasters over the years.
You're welcome, tsuwm.
Jackie, can you sticky this up here?

Loc: Caribbean If anyone has a word they think would be worthy of a round of Hogwash, please feel free to take the Hogmaster reins and run with it...
Step one: Announce that a new round of Hogwash is in the works and what the word for the round is.
Step two: Receive private messages from all those submitting daffynitions for the round. If the sennight is running out with fewer daffynitions than desired, post a reminder on the invite thread.
Step three: collate the daffynitions, include the correct answer, and post in a seperate thread after seven days.
Step four: Post answer and voting statistics in a seperate thread after seven days

Posts: 110 Say, how come these Roolz never got locked?
Well, since they aren't, I have a question for y'all.
What with participation in The Game at quite a high level, I wonder if there is any interest in returning to a competition basis; i.e., reinstituting a scoring system. But I'm thinking there should be not only an incentive for submitting definitions, but for the moderator (read hogmaster) as well.
Just ruminating here, boss._________________________

Loc: Netherlands, the Hague Hi, Jackie, this game keeps intriguing me , but when I read the rules there is one thing I don't understand. Someone puts up a word. The others give definitions but are they or are thay not allowed to use
dictionary help? Does it have to be an invention of your own?
It seems like fun. But you really must understand it well, before you join , no?
Would you give me an additional explanation, if you please? Thanks in advance.

You can't use a dictionary, you have to invent a definition.
The game has two parts, one of them is trying to invent the most likely-sounding definition in order to fool the most people into voting for your definition as the real one. You can also try to trick people into voting for your definition.
The other is to try to figure out which is the real definiton, which only the Hogmaster knows.
There's a whole scoring method but it seems to vary from Hogmaster to Hogmaster, and nobody's really counting anyway.
You don't have to have come up with a definiton to vote. Don't be shy to jump right in. It's all in good fun.

Posts: 13803 I would think that referring to a dictionary before making your own guess would be poor form at best. The definition a participant would offer should be completely made up.

There was Michael Jackson's "Thriller", and the Haruhi dance from the Haruhi Suzumiya anime. This time, they're back, burning up YouTube with their take on "Gangnam Style".
There's been criticism about these dance numbers—namely that they don't rehabilitate the prisoners or that they are a form of abuse. Some prisoners, it seems, disagree.
"Before... we just get our food and go back to our cell, and if we don't have anything to do we just talk," a prisoner told USA Today back in 2007. "But it is different now. Every day we are very busy preparing to dance for our upcoming shows. We are very proud of what we have done."

Hi: 16° Lo:7°
FROM Egypt, via a railway station to Leamington Art Gallery and Museum - an ancient artefact is set for another chapter in its long and strange history.
Warwick District Council is set to give the green-light next week for the presentation of a 2,500 year-old Egyptian mummy coffin lid to Birmingham University.
The origins of the painted wooden sarcophagus lid are shrouded in a certain amount of mystery. Created in the land of the Pharaohs 550 years before the birth of Christ, it is not known whose coffin lid it was, but somehow it became lost property at a Staffordshire railway station in 1960.
It was subsequently donated to Leamington Art Gallery and Museum, then based next to the old library in Avenue Road. It was given by then Leamington Spa Borough councillor Dr TA Dorey, a member of the art gallery and museum committee, and also lecturer in classics at Birmingham University. He explained at the time how it came into his possession.
"From what I have been told, it was found abandoned on Tamworth Railway Station. The stationmaster took charge of it a while before passing it on to Professor Thompson (Birmingham University) who, upon his retirement, gave it to Professor Dudley (also Birmingham University).
Dr Dorey ' begged' the lid from Professor Dudley when it needed a 'good home' after the university's classics department moved to new offices.
And a little later the then Vice Chancellor of Birmingham University is reported to have donated the coffin lid to Leamington museum.
The lid was on display for some years at the Avenue Road museum, but following a 1990 refurbishment, and a new focus on paintings, it was taken off display.
As the museum did not have the necessary storage space, or expertise to care for it, it was loaned to Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery, where it was put on display as part of Birmingham's major collection of Egyptian artefacts.
But in a further twist, while on display the Curator of the Collections at Birmingham University recognised the lid as one excavated at Beni Hasan in central Egypt by archaeologists from Liverpool University, and presented to Birmingham University in 1904.
In 2000 it was agreed, with the consent of all parties, the lid should be transferred on loan to Birmingham University. The university conserved it at a cost of £1,300 an had a bespoke display case made, and ever since it has been exhibited in the university's Institute of Archeology and Antiquity Museum.
The university recently called on Warwick District Council for its permanent return, supporting the claim with letters from 1904 testifying to the university's rightful ownership.
And councillors on the district's executive committee are expected to rubber-stamp the official handover of ownership on Wednesday (November 14).

It doesn't seem like a fair comparison. Seems like they're designed differently. Why not do a benchmark of Lubuntu v.s. Arch v.s. Debian Squeeze (or sidux) instead? I'd add Fedora 13 and Windows 7 for kicks for a real interesting comparison! I'd like to see such a benchmark test!
Anyone else?
Basically no benchmark accross distros is fair. You never know how many extra depends have been installed when you do compile benchmarks. Those change the compile speed when they are optional. Also runtime benchmarks mainly show gcc differences. When you compare precompiled binaries for games then you test the gfx drivers if they are not 100% the same. I definitely would not chose the distro depending on a 3rd party benchmark. I know when i change for example the kernel it can be faster in some cases (bfs seems to improve speed only on cpus without ht) or when hardware is replaced then you can compare the difference on the SAME system. Even when it would be possible to gain 10% speed with one distro that would not change much - there are differnet issues to consider like the quality of support.
Whatever, in Arch everything opens faster and runs smoother, no lagging etc.
And yes, I liked Ubuntu very much before, but I don't like what it become.
Yeah right, Xubuntu is also bloated compared to Arch+Xfce4. Everything in *buntu world is bloated, no matter if they put some light DE or something.
Ubuntu light desktop can be made from scratch and will run as light as Arch, so will Lubuntu.
And if we are speaking of speed, try out sidux or Kanotix or Salix, sad part is you would have to work your way around these distros, many things don't work out of the box like it does in Ubuntu, so yes, I will take a bit of system load for convenience and general acceptance anyday over so called cutting edge.
Yes, Sidux is fast. But I don't like KDE very much and Xfce4 is somewhat limited (Thunar vs Nautilus for example, and I have reasons why I need and like Nautilus and overall, Gnome desktop) compared to Gnome. So I stick to Arch and it's simplicity.
Imagine a Windows user coming into Debian, Slackware and Red Hat in 1997, bye bye Linux forever...wait, GNU/Linux is still alive?Imagine a Windows user coming into Arch or Gentoo, bye bye Linux forever.
Nope. Ubuntu is overhyped distro and nothing special, without Debian there is no Ubuntu. Ubuntu can be discontinued, but Debian will be still alive and kicking, with or without Windows switchers.
But overall, it's not so bad, with Ubuntu buzzwording, GNU/Linux got more publicity but it's bad if average Joe from this hype start to think Ubuntu==GNU/Linux.
First official Tutuntu came in 2004 and long time ago there was user friendly distro by name Mandrake. Debian got very easy gui and ncurses install, just like Slack and Red Hat, so there is nothing special in Debian based sid leeching distro.
It is more important for GNU/Linux in developing and improving GNOME, Xfce, KDE and Linux than yet another Debian based distro.
You are a typical Ubuntu hater, lets put it this way, Debian has been around for long, its share of users was less than distros like SuSE, Fedora, Mandriva and Kanotix. Ubuntu is not overhyped, its the most popular as it manages to bridge the gap for those coming into linux for the first time without scaring them away forever. It also does mighty fine in the bling factor as well as ease of use for those who are not used to command line and configuration. Debian is now alive because of Ubuntu, people tend to overlook how subtle but effective under the hood changes are bought by Ubuntu dev team to make Debian look what it is today, upstart is now used by Fedora which is an acknowledgement of Canonical's work. Its unfortunate though that average Joe associates Ubuntu with Linux but lets put it this way, I am for anything that makes Linux visible so if Ubuntu is doing that currently, so be it. Earlier Linux was relegated to geek and nerd dungeons and now you find Sheldon from Big Bang using Ubuntu, all the more better for Linux in longer run. People who would never ever show interest in Linux or its derivatives now come and ask me about Ubuntu, for me thats victory of Linux, I don't care how its achieved, its all for good, this will also bring out other distros on similar lines as Ubuntu.

(For Phase One Fridays I feature Phase One Recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. Phase One Recipes are also Low-Carb and Gluten-Free. This recipe from 2010 has not only been hugely popular on the blog, but it's perfect to make this time of year when those giant zucchinis seem to spring up overnight in the garden. If you don't have a huge zucchini to slice for the pizza base, you can use smaller zucchini sliced lengthwise. This is a great way to fight that pizza craving, and using low-fat turkey pepperoni makes it a pretty diet-friendly recipe for a dish that's loaded with pepperoni and cheese.)
This idea of grilled zucchini used as a base for pizza toppings is one of those cooking ideas that swirl around in my head, and sometimes I'm never sure if I thought of it or saw it somewhere else. I kept wondering how it would work to arrange a marriage between Grilled Zucchini and Val's Kid-Friendly Broiled Zucchini Rounds with Cheese, with the offspring having a little pizza personality, and when I saw Alea's Eggplant Pizza Bites on $5 Dinners, it convinced me to try it.
I used an over-sized 8-Ball zucchini to make my pizza, but any large zucchini could be used here. You may want to slice it lengthwise if it's a long zucchini. (I wouldn't use the enormous zucchinis that are mostly seeds inside.) In an earlier post I shared the types of sauce, pepperoni, and cheese I use to make South Beach Diet Friendly Flatbread Pizza. I do like the Muir Glen Organic Pizza Sauce I used in that recipe, but this time I didn't want to drive to Whole Foods, so I was pleased to discover that this sauce from my neighborhood grocer also only had 3 grams of sugar per 1/4 cup.
Cut slices of zucchini about 3/4 inch thick, then brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
Then put the topped pizzas back on the grill (or under the broiler) and cook for 7-8 minutes more (or probably less time for broiling.)
Grilled Zucchini Pizza Slices
(This "recipe" is just a guideline, adjust amounts to make as many pizzas as you'd like. I thought about using grilled zucchini as a base for pizza for a while, but Alea's Eggplant Pizza Bites at $5 Dinners were what motivated me to try it.)
--large zucchini slices, cut 3/4 inch thick (see recipe notes)
--olive oil, for lightly brushing both sides of pizza and oiling grill grate
--pizza sauce of your choice (I used canned red sauce, but you could also use Basil Pesto or white sauce. Extra sauce can be frozen for later. Choose sauce with the lowest grams of sugar for the South Beach Diet.)
--grated cheese (I used a blend of low-fat cheese called "pizza cheese," but you can use any cheese you'd enjoy on pizza.
Grill the zucchini 7-8 minutes, or until there are some grill marks and it's starting to be tender. (If the zucchini has a side that's slightly larger, grill that first so it will be the "top.") If desired, you can heat the sauce while the zucchini grills. (I did, but next time I might not bother.)
Remove zucchini from the grill, putting them grilled-side up on a cutting board you can use to take them to the kitchen. Add sauce, cheese, and other toppings as desired. (I spread each slice of zucchini with about 1 T red pizza sauce, then sprinkled each piece with a generous pinch of pizza cheese, added 4-5 slices of turkey pepperoni, and sprinkled over a tiny bit more cheese.)
Put loaded zucchini slices back on the grill and cook 7-8 minutes more with the grill lid closed. (Check them every few minutes to see when the cheese is melted and the toppings are lightly browned, especially if you're using a broiler. If you have a gas grill where you can regulate the heat, I turned it to high when I put the pizza back on.)
Remove zucchini pizzas from grill and serve hot. (I doubt this would reheat that well, but if anyone has leftovers and tries reheating it I'd love to hear how it works.)
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.
