Bindings - Missing hardware :( Halp
So I bought a pair of Technine bindings at a local thrift store before this year's season.
I'm kind of a newbie, but the bindings came with the high-backs un-installed and there's no hardware. So.... What kind, and where can I buy the appropriate hardware to reattach the high-backs and the boot straps? My other question is. The high-backs that came with the gear seems to be different. They have a couple of sideways "00" on the back, and so do the top straps. Could anyone help me figure out what brand they are? I have a picture.... |

Doubt T9 can help as that's a Morrow Highback. From what you've posted and the pic you got a frankenbinding setup. The parts may, or may not work together as they weren't designed too and aren't even made by the same manufacturer. Buy new bindings. The chance of getting such an old small part is miniscule and may not even work if you do track it down.

Thanks for getting me the brand name of those.
I suppose I could ride backless but I'm not sure really how to at the moment. I'm still learning you see. They look good, it looks like I can put them together...I'm guessing the person that turned them in wanted the old T9 backs so they threw in some other parts to make it look whole. Thanks for the help. I'll contact morrow to see what can be done. |

I ended up stealing some similar bolts off a really old style binding I had laying around. They work for now, but I'd really rather have the manufacturer's proper equipment. I'm talking to morrow now about that.
Thanks everyone. |

According to TMZ.com, former DIO/RAINBOW bassist Jimmy Bain (full name: James Stewart Bain) was arrested last night for DUI and illegally possessing prescription medication.
Bain, 64, got into a minor accident in his '95 Toyota Camry around 9:30 p.m. and failed a field sobriety test administered by responding police officers. The cops also found Vicodin pills that were not prescribed to Bain. Bain was arrested and booked for misdemeanor DUI and felony possession of prescription medication. Bain, who also had an outstanding drug warrant, was released on $60,000 bail. Bain was previously arrested in Hollywood, California on December 16, 2005 — just three days shy of his 58th birthday — on charges of driving while under the influence. In an interview with The Cutting Edge web magazine believed to have been conducted sometime in 2003, Bain spoke openly about his battle with drug and alcohol abuse and his efforts to get cleaned up. An excerpt from the chat follows below. The Cutting Edge: Not everyone knows you've had quite a battle with drug and alcohol abuse yourself. How has your life change since you've cleaned up? Bain: "The most important thing is that I've got my family back. My mother and father both passed away in the last three years but they were able to see me clean. I have a wonderful woman in my life and my beautiful daughter. I was happy that they were able to see that I could do it. I've come to appreciate life more on a day-to-day basis. Every day that I have, as long as I stay clean, is positive for me. I'm very active now in helping others. I visit hospitals and jails and I do panel discussions to help others recover. Not as a member of DIO, but as a guy whose been through it and can shed some light on the recovery. You do it because you want to help people who are in the same position you were at some point." The Cutting Edge: What was it for you that turned you around? Bain: "A judge. He saved my life. When you're taking drugs, you are spiritually bankrupt. You're like the walking dead. You're not committed to anything accept getting high. Since I got clean, I feel I'm a better writer and player now. I can focus. I've recorded over 60 albums and only made two clean. The last two."Former RAINBOW/DIO Bassist Arrested For DUI And Prescription Medication

The scope and nature of geotourism
Newsome, D. and Dowling, R.K. (2006) The scope and nature of geotourism. In: Dowling, R.K. and Newsome, D., (eds.) Geotourism. Elsevier Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford , pp. 3-25.
*Open access. Some pages may not be available
Geotourism sits within a spectrum of definitions (Figure 1.1). For example, Stueve et al. (2002) provide a very broad definition of geotourism – one that encompasses wider geographical, socio-economic and cultural contexts which sit under the umbrella of geographic tourism. Such reasoning probably relates to geology being the basis for the physical environment and therefore ecological systems, with extension into the cultural, spiritual and economic interface. Frey et al. (see Chapter 6) embrace geotourism at the level of social and community development according to the concept of the geopark. However, in our definition of geotourism the 'geo' part pertains to geology and geomorphology and the natural resources of landscape, landforms, fossil beds, rocks and minerals, with an emphasis on appreciating the processes that are creating and created such features.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- After Roberto Hernandez talked to reporters before Sunday's game against Baltimore, his teammates held a "gathering" for him. At least that's what it was called on the clubhouse message board.
At 2 p.m. Hernandez was presented with three birthday cakes inside the locker room as his teammates sang "Happy Birthday". The three cakes represented Hernandez's leap in age from 28 to 31. The discrepancy was revealed in January when Hernandez was arrested in the Dominican Republic for identity fraud.
It turned out that Fausto Carmona, the pitcher employed by the Indians since Dec. 28, 2000 was really Hernandez. Besides a new name, Hernandez was three years older than the team was led to believe.
Never let it be said that baseball players are an overly sensitive group.
"It's nice to see a friendly face and have a good guy back," said Justin Masterson, who had been planning the birthday cake gag since spring training. "I'm sure a lot of weight has been lifted off his shoulders. He can finally be himself, literally.
"Shoot, I think any of us in a similar situation would have done exactly the same thing. It doesn't make it right, but you can understand. For him, at a point like this, it's better for him to be back here and, hopefully, play some baseball."
The prevailing thought among the amateur psychologists among us is that Hernandez, freed of the burden of living under an assumed name, will be able to take the mound after he serves a three-week MLB-imposed suspension and pitch better than he has since 2007.
"His mind will be free now," said teammate Ubaldo Jimenez. "He doesn't have to look over his shoulder anymore. Now he can just concentrate on pitching."
Hernandez, speaking through agent/interpreter Charisse Dash, was not so sure.
"I want to forget about the past and move forward," he said. "I don't know if I'll be better, but I'm really going to work at giving what I am as a person and a player."
Hernandez, 7-15 with a 5.25 ERA in 32 starts last year, won't have to morph into Pedro Martinez to improve on that.
"I felt it a little on my shoulders last year, but I will not use it as an excuse," said Hernandez.
Manager Manny Acta believes Hernandez should be more relaxed now that his secret is out. As far as pitching better, he's unsure.
"He won 19 games in 2007," said Acta. "At this level, when those guys get out on the mound, they're pretty good at blocking things out."
Masterson agreed.
"I think when people asked him for his autograph he might forget which name to write down and that may have affected him," said Masterson. "When you're out on the mound, you're doing your thing."
After Hernandez finished running and throwing Sunday, he signed for fans along the left-field grandstand. Yes, he signed "Roberto Hernandez."
Hernandez said lying about his age was the only way he could sign a professional contract. As for spending 11 years pitching under an assumed name, Hernandez said, "I tried not think about it, but I knew one day this would happen."
Acta said Hernandez will throw a bullpen session at Progressive Field Monday. Then he'll go to the minors where he's scheduled to make three or four starts. The suspension ends Aug. 11.
"Physically, I feel ready," said Hernandez.
He's been pitching simulated games, bullpen sessions and amateur games in the Dominican Republic waiting for the United States State Department to approve his visa.
"I was impressed with his physical shape," said Acta. "I know at times he was discouraged, but he never stopped working and that showed."
It's still unclear how Hernandez fits in the rotation.
"It's three weeks and a lot can happen in three weeks," said Acta.
The July 31 trading deadline is nine days away.
What is clear is that the Indians are looking at Carmona as a starter.
"He's got to go through the process," said Acta. "I hope everything works out the way we've planned and we can add him."
Finally: Hernandez said the real Fausto Carmona was a "distant relative.' . . . During the news conference, Masterson snuck into the interview room and asked Hernandez, "Who is your favorite Indian?" Hernandez smile and said, "Justin Masterson."

Traditional ingredient in the gastronomy of Tenerife
Nowadays, Gofio is dissolved in milk as a breakfast or mixed with different ingredients (oil, water, and fresh fruit, such as bananas, or dried fruit and honey) to be eaten with other meals. It is used to accompany some vegetable soups (watercress, for example) and to cover pork scratchings which gives them a special taste. It is also an essential part of dishes such as "puchero canario" (Canarian stew) or fish casserole. Gofio is mixed with the juices of these specialities until it reaches a paste-like consistency. Nowadays, it is also used a lot in cake making and even in ice- creams.

Streetcar budget falling short, funding in question
UPDATED 7:10 PM EDT Jul 15, 2014As streetcar supporters mark the one-year anniversary of the start of construction, the charitable spigot of private dollars to help operate the system has gone dry.
Video TranscriptX PEOPLE ARE ARRIVING AT A TOWN FORM ON THE CINCINNATI STREETCAR. THIS PROJECT IS ON SCHEDULE AND WITHIN BUDGET. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO ACTUALLY OPERATE. AS STREETCAR SUPPORTERS MARKED THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF CONSTRUCTION, PRIVATE DOLLARS HAVE GONE DRY. ONCE THE CITY SAID WE WILL GO FORWARD A LOT OF THE PRIVATE DOLLARS STOPPED AND SO THAT IS A CONCERN FOR ME. IT IS GOING BACK TO THE TAXPAYERS NOW. FOUR OF THE 18 STOPS ARE BUILT BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO NEW PRIVATE M ONIES SINCE THE LAST PLEDGE. COUNCIL BALANCED ITS BUDGET WITHOUT LAYOFFS BUT GOING FORWARD, THERE IS NO LINE FOR A TWO OR $3 MILLION AD ON TO WHAT IS BEING BILLED AS A FIRST PHASE. IT IS A PHYSICAL CONNECTION THAT SYMBOLIZES THE FACT THAT THESE AREAS REALLY ARE ONE. CONSTRUCTING ONE PLAN TO PAY FOR OPERATING APPEARS TO BE THE MOST DIFFICULT BUILD TODAY. WE ARE STILL WORKING SO I HOPE THE MONEY WILL COME FORWARD AND IF NOT IT WILL COME FROM TAXPAYER DOLLARS. THAT REALITY IS BOUND TO RIP UP THE CROWD. THEY'RE WORKING TO IDENTIFY AND OF SOURCES OF REVENUE TO KEEP THAT FROM HAPPENING. SO FAR THAT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. JOHN LONDON LIVE FOR US IN THE NEWSROOM. THE SECTION SHOULD BE DONE NEXT APRIL.

Chez Henri
Why?A brunch ten years in the making.
While the Cambridge favorite Chez Henri has been in business for ten years, they've never had a regular brunch schedule. Well, what's bad news for the staff, who now have to get up a whole lot earlier on the weekends, is great news for us. "People are always calling and asking for brunch and telling us how much they would love to have a cuban sandwich and beer on a lazy Sunday," said GM Beth Schunke. "So we responded to the call and decided to reopen after nearly 10 years of being closed." Now people can get their Chez Henri comfort food favorites like the aforementioned cuban, and the french onion soup, "along with some new twists on old classics like brioche french toast with plantains and duck confit hash," which we're told is the staff's favorite, or you could go for the beautiful looking bistro salad with crispy potatoes, smoked bacon, poached egg and dijon mustard.

That sounds like a wonderful event. And $25! Wow. Wish I could be in Michigan.

George, just an FYI, from what i read, the $500 gold ticket guarantees you 2 autographs from EVERY player on the ROSTER, even if that player is not in attendance. Staff will take your items to those players and return them later, plus autos from all alumni in attendance of the event.

I just spat out the press release…let me see if the Wings' website's presser reads differently…Nope :(
Posted by George Malik from South Lyon, MI on 08/09/11 at 06:26 PM ET
"If there are any current players that are not present at HockeyFest we will take your two items, have them signed by those missing players and return your two items to you at a later date. This will ensure that you receive two autographs from each player on the 2011-12 Red Wings roster. "

About The Malik Report
The Malik Report is a destination for all things Red Wings-related. I offer biased, perhaps unprofessional-at-times and verbose coverage of my favorite team, their prospects and developmental affiliates. I've joined the Kukla's Korner family with five years of blogging under my belt, and I hope you'll find almost everything you need to follow your Red Wings at a place where all opinions are created equal and we're all friends, talking about hockey and the team we love to follow.

metaphysical. spiritual, healing & life counseling as well as body work are my main pursuits.
Love hiking in nearby Griffith Pk & neighborhood walks. Try to do Curves 3xs wk. And movies at nearby famous Vista theater.
And time with Skye (my cat)
Penny has completed online and offline ID verification.
My experience was very good. I will recommend anybody to stay. I had a good time
Secure Penny's rooms with confidence. The house is huge, clean, and located in between Silverlake and Los Feliz with Cafe Vita, Dinosaur Coffee, Malo, Garage Pizza, and a list of other neighborhood staples within walking distance. On top of that, it's close to DTLA, Hollywood, and Griffith Park. Penny herself is kind, thorough, informative, and a veteran Reiki practitioner (among other systems) if that type thing is your bag. The thing I appreciated the most about the stay is her ability to sense when to stick and kibbitz and when to give you your privacy. I could gush on and on but you'll just have to experience it all for yourselves. Again, proceed with confidence. Thanks Penny!
Penny made me feel very welcome. She made sure she was home when I arrived and gave me a thorough tour of her place, very graciously. Although I didn't have the opportunity to take advantage of it this time, clearly Penny's knowledge of the area and willingness to suggest activities is a major plus for any customer.
Penny was a very pleasant and gracious host.
Penny Layne is the best! I was filming in LA & working long hours and she was so accommodating towards that. I would definitely stay with Penny again!
Penny was a communicative, thoughtful, kind, and fun host. She had breakfast food items available (eggs, English muffins, cereal, almond milk, bananas etc). She also took me on a short but beautiful hike at Griffith Park and brought us water and snacks. It's worth mentioning that Penny's communication prior to confirming my stay was prompt and clear. She also kindly accommodated some requests regarding length of my stay and check-in/check-out times. Cleanliness (floors, sheets, bedroom furniture, etc) was, however, a significant issue.
Nice room in a quiet and pleasant neighborhood. It was also just a 10-minute walk to the subway red line.
Penny's room was spacious and clean, with AC. wifi, and comfortable chairs and bed. she got me fruits and yogurt for breakfast. she also took me to Vons to get a discount card and metro pass. Her home is very convenient to many places and close to metro station. I did rent a car to get to other places, like Santa Monica, beach etc. However, the neighborhood is very walkable with 2 movie theaters and close to downtown and also Griffith Park. I enjoyed my stay with her and will probably stay in LA for a while longer.
Great price in a great location. I loved the quiet. The room opened to a little terrace so I slept with the door open to the fresh air. The only downside was the bed which was an air mattress.
Penny was an exceptionally warm and caring host! This was my first experience with airbnb and my first time in Los Angeles. She was very informative with the nearby shops, attractions and transportation. She even took me hiking during the weekend and showed me some amazing views of the city from Griffith Park. The place itself is also very nice. It's spacious and clean and the other guests mostly kept to themselves. There are some specific rules to follow, but they were completely manageable and I got used to them in no time. The neighborhood seemed safe, which was an important factor for me since I was traveling alone. Very close to the metro and bus stops and a grocery store. Overall, I had a wonderful time at Penny's and would definitely come back.

I was prescribed this after 3 days on a Azithromycin was making me worse. My doctor told me the Z-pack wasn't working because my bronchitis had become pneumonia. After 2 days on the Ceftin (250 mg, twice daily), I was really starting to improve. My cough had lessened, chest congestion had loosened nicely and my headache/stuffiness had started to subside. I also used a humidifier. Now, 4 days in and I'm feeling almost human. The cough is almost gone, I can breathe almost normally and am much improved. I have always heard the Z-pack knocks out almost everything, but I'm proof it's not a cure-all. One thing to note is that Ceftin can be rough on your stomach, so be sure to take it with food. Crackers, toast or yogurt should be fine.

How To: Clean and Deodorize Neoprene Wetshoes (2:00)
Commonly heard complaints from boaters are "My wetshoes dry slowly" and "My shoes really stink." The problems are related. Neoprene shoes don't "breathe" so moisture escapes slowly unless you work to eliminate it. And bacteria and other microorganisms in the water and from your feet can generate odors in those moist conditions. This video shows how to clean and dry watershoes to head off odor. And if stinky shoes happen, we show how to eliminate it.

I wear a size 10 shoe, but I am a 9.5 shoes size. I have pretty wide feet. What size should I order? Also will my feet cramp up in my play boat,or is it pretty snug to your feet?Asked on 10/6/2014 by throwdownpro3 answers
I would say that I used the size chart provided by NRS and their advise as to size. The boots fit well and are very comfortable. They fit snug and give good foot protection. I use them along with my wetsuit, primarily for white water rafting, were I am in and out of the raft several times per trip and walking on all sorts of material under foot. I love them.VERIFIED BUYER
This boot fits very snug considering its a size 10. I think it will work in a play boat. The sizes do not seem to run small. I am around a 9.5 shoe size. I can fit in size 9, 9.5, or size 10. I mostly wear size 9.5 if it's available. My feet are fairly wide. I have a little room in the toes but not much. I haven't used them yet, but seem to be a good value for the price by the way they look and feel.Answered on 10/7/2014 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
I bought this for my son and asked him the question. The following is his answer.
I'm 6'7", normally wear a size 15 street shoe but use the boot in a 14.
They fit nice and snug with enough toe space and are keeping my feet warm.
I wear them in my play boat and creeker without cramping up but needless to say it depends on the size of boat too.Answered on 10/7/2014 by Anonymous

The NRS wetshoes were a gift to my son. He has only had the opportunity to
try them, considering all lakes and streams are solid ice at this time of

they would be the split toe design.Answered on 1/29/2014 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER

You don't wear a sock with the NRS Shock Sock Wetshoe. It's a sock/shoe in
one. The big toe divider will not allow a sock. Description of product
indicates the same:
"A padded divider separates the big toe from the other toes, giving you
extra lateral stability for walking on uneven terrain and riding that SUP
board in turbulent waters. Don't use the Shock with wetsocks and drysuit

No sock. I've always gone barefoot inside the shoe and haven't felt
uncomfortable. But I've done this only down to about 50 degrees.Answered on 1/25/2014 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
No socks bare feet!Answered on 1/25/2014 by AnonymousA:
Internally there's a stiff, but comfortably padded, partition that separates the big toe from the others. This really helps lock the foot in place for lateral stability. It would be possible to wear a sock but it would have to be stretchy enough to wrap around the divider. For most people there's no reason to wear a sock with this shoe.Answered on 1/25/2014 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER

hello...the Freestyle looks to be a "newer" model...looks nice! I love the
Shock Sock... lets me wade in a bit deeper when coming back in from the
lake! The shock sock might give you a bit more ankle coverage...they feel
great!Answered on 2/26/2013 by AnonymousA:
They have quite different features. The Freestyle has a thin 1.5 mm sole and 3 mm neoprene insole. This very flexible sole is great for boaters with cramped cockpit space for their feet, while still having some protection from rough terrain. The Shock Sock has a much sturdier sole: 7 mm neoprene insole, 2 mm plastic shim and 3 mm outsole. Also, the Shock Sock has a padded toe divider (between the big toe and the "index" toe?) which provides extra lateral stability, but would prevent you wearing a sock inside. It was conceived as a SUP boarder shoe, but of course can work for other types of boating. Both great shoes.Answered on 2/27/2013 by Clyde from NRS

I really like it for my long skinny feet. The material isn't overly thick,

I have had a few play boat shoes. All good shoes in there own right. The Shock Sock are the nicest pair of play boat shoes I have ever warn. Best fitting, nicest sole, The Shock Sock is more comfortable in the boat. When you have to walk on the rocks, these are the play boat shoes to have.
I got the Shock Sock as a gift. They where a size to small. NRS no hassle return policy is the best. I contacted customer support. Explained that I received them as a gift. Bought somewhere else. That they where brand new w/tags still on them. Sent them back to NRS. A little more than a week later. I got my new favorite play boat shoes. Thank You NRS, for the great customer care, the great quality products, and the awesome staff.

Comments about NRS Shock Sock Wetshoe - Closeout:
I've been searching for the perfect bootie for a few years - one that protects my feet from rocks and gravel and is super warm and dry in winter. I wear a wetsuit so my feet go in barefoot. I"ve tried Xcel, o'neill and others, but this shoe is the one! I like the 7mm sole to keep my feet protected from sharp rocks and insulates on cold pavement. The above ankle length keeps more water out than the Freestyle shoe and i've found it completely dry in surf and warm in air temps below 30F (water upper 40's). Easy on-off, dries fine with a boot dryer.

Daniela BleichmarAssociate Professor of Art History and HistoryContact Information E-mail: email@example.com Phone: (213) 821-6384 Office: VKC 351 LINKS Curriculum Vitae Personal Website |
Biographical Sketch |
Daniela Bleichmar is Associate Professor in the departments of Art History and History at the University of Southern California. She received her BA from Harvard University and her Ph.D. in History (History of Science) from Princeton University, where she trained as a cultural historian of early modern science, specializing in the history of visual culture and the natural sciences in Europe and the Spanish Americas in the period 1500-1800. Before joining the USC faculty, she held a Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellowship through the USC-Huntington Early Modern Studies Institute, with which she remains actively involved. She is also in the executive committee of the USC Visual Studies Research Institute. Her work focuses on the history of the Spanish empire and early modern Europe, the production and circulation of knowledge and visual culture, the history of collecting and display, and the history of the book and prints. Her research and teaching interests include interactions between art and science in the early modern period; visual and material culture in the Spanish Americas and early modern Europe; the history of Iberia, the Spanish Americas, and the Atlantic World; the history of colonialism, imperialism, and global exchanges; the history of collecting and display; the history of print, books, and reading; and the history of mobility, circulation, and travel. Dr. Bleichmar has received multiple prizes and fellowships for her scholarship, among them a Mellon Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellowship (2004–2006) a Getty Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellowship (2008–2009), and a Getty Research Institute fellowship (2013–2014). In 2007 she was honored by Smithsonian Magazine as one of "37 under 36. America's Young Innovators in the Arts and Sciences." In December 2008 she received the USC College General Education Teaching Award. She is the author of Visible Empire. Botanical Expeditions and Visual Culture in the Hispanic Enlightenment (University of Chicago Press, 2012), a study of five scientific expeditions sent by the Spanish crown to the Americas and the Philippines between 1777 and 1808. These expeditions brought together naturalists and artists, who collaborated to produce thousands of illustrations of imperial nature. The book discusses the status and uses of images in eighteenth-century natural history; the importance of visual material in training the expert eyes and skilled hands of naturalists; the role of print culture in establishing a common vocabulary of scientific illustration; the interaction among visual evidence, textual evidence, and material evidence; and the ways in which colonial naturalists and artists appropriated and transformed European models, producing hybrid, local representations. Visible Empire has been recognized with the 2014 Herbert Baxter Adams Prize for the best book in European history from ancient times to 1815 (American Historical Association); the 2013 Leo Gershoy award for the most outstanding book in 17th- and 18th-century European history (American Historical Association); the 2013 Tufts book award (American Society for Hispanic Art Historical Studies); the 2013 Phi Kappa Phi award for the best book by a faculty member of the University of Southern California; a Honorable Mention for the 2013 Arvey book award (Association for Latin American Art); and the 2012 PROSE award for the best book in the history of science, medicine, and technology (Association of American Publishers). A Spanish edition of this book is forthcoming. Dr. Bleichmar has also published articles on visual culture and natural history in the Spanish empire (detailed below) and co-edited two volumes, Science in the Spanish and Portuguese Empires, 1500–1800 (Stanford University Press, 2008) and Collecting Across Cultures: Material Exchanges in the Early Modern Atlantic World (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011). Her current book project is entitled The Itinerant Lives of Painted Books: Mexican Codices and Transatlantic Knowledge in the Early Modern World.

New vs. Old
Hey so i recently picked up an old 1997 Ride Control 153 board for myself and was wondering if anyone had any idea what the major differences were going to be in riding a 12 year old board like the Ride vs. something modern. This board i picked up to be my intermediate board so i can really start to progress from beginner/intermediate into a more advanced rider. Was it a bad idea to purchase such an old board? Has technology advanced that much that i'm doing myself a disservice learning on an old board like this? If it helps i have some brand new Union Force bindings on it and i just got it fully tuned with a stone grind. Wadda ya think? THanks!

Not only has technology changed, but an old board loses it's pop after a while. It just becomes flat. I'm not saying your board is useless, you'll have to ride it to found out if it works or not, but buying an old board is not quite like buying an old car. They aren't really classics when it comes to riding.

i figure that they definitely aren't like cars in that they are classics but will i notice that much of a difference from riding an older vs. new board? This is going to be used as a free ride/ all mountain board, which is what it was designed for, so it won't be hitting any parks. I know some people DO in fact by old boards as "classics" like the old swallow tails and such so i'm assuming if someone can ride an old swallow tail i should be ok on this board too no?

nah i haven't yet. it's currently at the local shop getting a stone grind and full sharpen and wax so i can take it up to killington,vt next week and shred on it for a couple of days. i also got a new set of Union Force bindings i'm going to throw on it and i wanted to make sure it was tip top before i had my first ride on it so i could get a fair impression of how it rides. on a side note, the east coast is getting dumped on this week. just had close to two feet of fresh snow last night and today and that same front that hit here is headed for up north to Vt as well. But nah haven't ridden the board yet. I'm hoping it's going to be a fun ride especially after the full tune up and the good snow we just got. Anyone else care to chime in on old vs. new board? Is it really that noticeable?

I started on a loaner 97 Custom 55 and did my first 5 times on it. My last 2 times were on a new bataleon evil twin 55 with tbt. The new board is easier to control and responds better IMO.
The old custom was a nice board though. I think you'll have a great time as long as the board is fundamentally sound - not damaged etc and your board sounds like it's fine. |

well the difference between a 12 year old board and a new one is undeniable. the tech in a new beginner board is probably just as much if not more then a 12 year old top of the line board board. will it work and possibly be 100% fine for you, very much so i would imagine.

Keep in mind the political spin on this case has reached a level that it never should have. The repeated statements like "loosing a fight" rather than "being assaulted" are designed specifically to warp the truth and spin the truth. Unfortunately people tend to believe something repeated and the majority of the media have political motivation. Until there is proper and fair reporting of facts the US will change politically through methods of "Politics by Media" in ways they never would have.

It will most likely result in considerable debate about stand-your-ground, but it shouldn't. This was never a stand-your-ground case.
If Zimmerman's story is the version you accept, both people had a right to be in the complex but Zimmerman was jumped, pinned to the ground, and was having his head beat against a concrete sidewalk. Retreat (irrespective of whether or not it could have been accomplished "in complete safety" was not an option. In his mind (according to this theory) it was shoot in self defense ... or die. In fact, he says Martin said "You're going to die tonight." Conversely, if you choose to accept the version that Martin didn't initiate the physical conflict, you have to believe that Zimmerman shot him just because he was there and he was black -- the prosecution's argument. In this version, it wasn't Martin who used the deadly force, so again it would not have been a stand-your-ground case. Just before the verdict, I saw some taking heads advancing the argument that Martin had a right to "stand his ground." But there is no evidence that he did so. Either he was shot in cold blood, or he initiated an assault against Zimmerman, which the Florida stand-your-ground law does NOT convey a right to do. You can defend yourself against a physical assault, but the law doesn't create or convey any right to initiate an assault because you think the other person is a "creepy-a$$ cracker of a white guy." I think stand-your-ground is solid law and simply codifies what should be (and what some people say has always been) in common law anyway. Laws that dictate that a victim MUST attempt to flee before being allowed to defend themselves are an affront to decency and to common sense. And the related notion that a victim who succeeds in defending him/herself could then be vulnerable to a civil lawsuit by the assailant of the assailants heirs is likewise an affront to decency and to common sense. |

The DOJ will have a harder row to hoe for a hate crime conviction considering the result of the FBI investigation was that race was NOT a factor.
Something I have not seen discussed but is relevant is that the defense was forced to file motions to get the color photos of Zimmerman's injuries instead of a grainy black and white photo the prosecution gave them. Several requests were ignored. When you see the photos side by side the differences are remarkable in showing the injuries. Also in the same motion was a request for the polygraph that was passed successfully the night of the incident. Same reasons, requests ignored. Mark O'Mara has filed Motions for Sanctions Against The State for Discovery Violations. Amazing..... |

I have 2 questions about law and civil rights as it pertains to the Zimmerman trial.
1. Wouldn't a civil trial violate the 5th amendment double jeopardy clause? The double jeopardy clause prohibits anyone from being prosecuted twice for the same crime. 2. Why is the federal department of justice involved in a local crime? The NAACP has requested the President and DOJ to pursue civil action. |

It has happened before. The civil rights violation is a separate crime and the Feds have the ability to do such. It happened for Rodney King but not for Diallo, IIRC.
Thread lightly folks - a hint.

Glenn E. Meyer addressed the second. If you're asking about a civil lawsuit -- that's a civil lawsuit, not a criminal prosecution. That would be the same as the O.J. Simpson civil lawsuit for wrongful death. He lost, and was ordered to pay a bunch of money (that he allegedly didn't have), but no criminal conviction and no criminal sentence. |

Post 54; Mylicensesite.com .....
To answer post #54, Florida does have laws that say a W license holder or armed citizen who is cleared of wrong-doing by the courts or State Atty's Office can have immunity from civil lawsuits or wrongful death claims.
Keep in mind, lawyers or estates of "victims" can still try to take civil actions against a armed citizen, even in FL. This point was made by author & legal expert in use-of-force expert: Massad Ayoob in a recent issue of Combat Handguns. Florida's concealed carry & weapons laws/license information is here; www.Mylicensesite.com . Mark O'Mara said in the Sat, 07/13/2013 media briefing he'd make sure George Zimmerman was cleared in those civil actions as well, IAW Florida law. CF |

"Can have" is not the same as "does have" immunity. I quoted the law in post #26. The law explicitly says there must be a court ruling of immunity -- it is not automatic.
Mark O'Mara did not say he would "make sure George Zimmerman was cleared in those civil actions as well." What he said was quoted in numerous articles taken directly from his comments at the press conference. Quote:

The double jeopardy clause only applies to subsequent criminal prosecutions by the same sovereign. Since the state and federal governments are separate sovereigns they each get one crack at prosecuting someone based on the same set of facts.
Civil suit and civil rights prosecution are two separate things. |

I think someone needs to launch immediate FOIA requests, the facts we have already seen retaliation against "whistle blowers" tells me this could be the duke rape case part 2.
I would also like to see if D.C. was in any way shape or form pressuring Florida to charge Zimmerman(I am sure they were).

They're going to work this angle to the hilt in the coming weeks and months. I could see it gaining support in some states. The DOJ has now announced that they're looking into a possible prosecution.

I would like to see Zimmerman now ask his lawyers to sue the crap out of all the news medias, pundits and talking heads, organizations, and etc., which went out of their way to demonize him in their attempt to proclaim him guilty before the trial/verdict.

Famas, we discussed that on the last page. It's not a very easy or feasible course of action, and even if his attorneys win, it won't cow the networks in the least.

Politics, fall-out....
The Florida States Atty Office IT guy was fired by Angela Corey on Fri, 07/11/2013(before the verdict was rendered).
He spoke out about the cell phone pics & other material that the prosecutors & staff wanted to keep quiet. The IT guy & former Sanford PD chief Bill Lee really got the shaft in this case. As for Lee's run for sheriff, I highly doubt it. The sting from the GZ event(s) may keep him out of public service. Seminole's Sheriff Don Eisenger is doing a good job & he gets re-elected. FWIW; Bill Lee retired from the Seminole County Sheriff's Office so he's not in a major bind or unable to pay his bills. As posted in other topics & messages, the State Atty; Norm Wolfinger decided not to put criminal charges on GZ. The residents & local media should put more faith in their elected officials when there are difficult or high-profile cases. If they(the voters or citizens) disagree with the local elected officials, vote them out. A big problem with the GZ incident was the public's rush to judge/convict GZ without due process. Clyde F |

I'm not convinced that a state law SYG provision could successfully shield Zimmerman from a federal criminal suit.
Tom, the AP has taken down that page you linked about the announcement.

The AP appears to obfuscate links for some reason. I updated it.

The DOJ has announced they are considering charging Zimmerman ... and now [some of] the media are reminding us that the DOJ already did that, a month after the shooting, and found no evidence of racial bias or profiling. (Yes, the FBI is still part of the DOJ.)

Whatever immunity from civil suites Zimmerman is able to secure, it would not apply to federal prosecution, to my understanding.
Defense attorney Mark O'Mara seemed to be almost daring anyone to file in FLA against Zimmerman. He seemed very confident that immunity could be secured. He may be in a position of some leverage with regard to possible prosecutorial misconduct. |

I feel sure the FL law will be revisited. I have never thought that a CHL holder had the right to pursue an individual who had not committed a crime that the CHL had seen.
I am pleased that Zimmerman was found not guilty, but I think there will be changes in the law that would preclude pursuing someone when no crime or serious crime had been seen. This case is a lesson that shows us that even if one is found not guilty one may conclude that it was not worth the trouble and expense. Guess we'll see. Jerry
Ecclesiastes 12:13 *¶Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 *For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. |
