Yeah, much as I like it, this site is becoming very slow and troublesome... with these stupid error messages whenever I try to post. Saying I've double-posted when I haven't, saying I've tried to post more than once in 30 seconds when I haven't, posts not appearing, etc., etc.

The site is running great so far this morning. It now seems faster than it has ever been. Thanks to Grant et al for addressing the problem.
But we've had fixes in the past that were only effective temporarily. It has usually been a matter of time before the same problems cropped up again and again. I hope things are really sorted this time.

I cannot reply to a thread in the Male Fragrance Discussion board. I type my reply in the Quick Reply box, and all I get is another page (the full Reply page) telling me that my reply must be over 3 characters (which it is). If I retype the reponse in the full Reply box the screen just goes blank.
Also, although the site has performed quite well today in comparison with the past several days, with pages loading quickly overall, I do experience the occasional lag in loading.
So we're still having some problems with the site. It ain't over yet.
Double posting like a mad man today
I'm trying to be patient, but I have 20 reviews to put in and a Blog, and It averages 5min. of wait time every click of a mouse button...ARG! I have been at it off and on all afternoon yesterday, and all morning today.

Thought it was a bit better a few hours ago but guess I was wrong.
It'd be quicker to drive round to every Basenoter's house and just tell them what I wanted to say.
My concern is for the hundreds of reviews and "fragrances tried/owned" data I have stored on the website. It is the only record I have of all the hundreds of frags tried/reviewed in the past several years...I guess I had better save them on my PC...

Brian Levy has learned a lot about the Pelletier House in downtown
And he hopes that the work he and other Lowe's employees are doing at the house and surrounding property will draw others to the site and the history.
Volunteers from the Lowe's store on
Lisa Whitman-Grice, head of the Onslow County Museum Division and
The Pelletier House was built in the 1850s by Rufus Pelletier, a merchant who was in the turpentine distillery business with his brother and served as postmaster in the area. A decade later, he married and added on to the house. His daughter Liza was born in the 1870s and lived in the home until her death in the 1950s.
What remains of the Pelletier House, which is the oldest standing house in
"It was a labor of love," said Whitman-Grice, who also has her own attachment to the building. She was married in front of Pelletier House in October 1989, and a copy of her wedding announcement remains in the historical society's archives within the building.
And the surrounding property has a history all its own. The nearby Wantland Spring, which is receiving a new fence during this project, is a reminder of the area's original name of Wantland's Ferry after James Wantland, a local landowner and innkeeper who held 640 acres of land in the area beginning in 1753. He initiated a ferry service crossing the
With the rehabilitation underway, Whitman-Grice hopes to open the property up for more special events, field trips and more public use.
"I am overjoyed. We appreciate Lowe's generosity," she said.
Lowe's employee James Barbour has coordinated the volunteers for the project and has put about two weeks of work into the project with Thursday being his first day away from it.
Whitman-Grice said it was nice "to see (the building) getting some love and much deserved attention."
"I love the house so much, I just want everyone to share in that," she said.
Lowe's Heroes is a company-wide volunteer initiative that offers Lowe's employees the chance to work on a project in their area.
Levy said that they received multiple proposals but they felt Pelletier House would be the project with the "biggest impact."
"Hopefully this will bring out the exposure of the history of the house like I have the last week or two I've been out here," he said.
Area teachers interested in organizing a field trip to Pelletier House can contact the
There will be an open house at Pelletier House on Sept. 21 beginning at For more information, visit onslowcountync.gov/museum.

FT-i Squareway Woods
Product Overview
The most forgiving fairway woods we've created
Like the FT-i Driver did for drivers, the FT-i Squareway Woods set a new standard in fairway woods. With a moment of inertia (MOI) approaching that of our best-selling drivers, they are the most forgiving fairway woods we've ever created.
- Squareway Inertial Design: The Squareway Inertial Design positions discretionary weight to the extreme corners of the clubhead, raising the MOI for unparalleled resistance to twisting. The result is straighter and more forgiving shots hit over a wide area of the face.
- Fusion Technology: Multi-material construction combines a stainless steel face, sole and body with a lightweight, carbon composite crown so Callaway Golf engineers can move discretionary weight where it is needed most.
- Oversized Head Shape: Allows for a higher MOI to increase forgiveness and stability at impact for better accuracy.
- Callaway Golf Core Technologies: VFT Technology maximizes ball speed and perimeter weighting for more distance and forgiveness; S2H2 increases discretionary weight by removing it from the hosel and repositioning it in the perimeter of the clubhead.

Very informative once again dgalvan123. Thanks so much for laying it all out in an a very logical and easy to read manner. Yes, the hybrid stick was exactly what I was referring to. Of course, my Mini is where my flatscreen is located, and that is where my OTA cable comes in. My router is in the office, as that is where my internet cable connection comes in. However, based on what you and others have said, it sounds like between the network websites, Hulu+, Netflix and Amazon Prime we should be well covered.

I'll admit the way my current system is set up (streaming AND a DVR for OTA) is somewhat redundant. The network shows we record OTA using the HDHomerun/EyeTV setup are MOSTLY available on Hulu. Though not all are: CBS doesn't have most (any?) of its current-season shows up on Hulu. Many are available on cbs.com and are therefore viewable either using FreeCable plugin for XBMC, or simply airplay mirroring your computer's browser to the TV).
The main benefit we get out of the HDHomerun/EyeTV setup is convenience. For any shows available on the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS), we don't have to worry about which shows are available via hulu or not, how many shows are available on the network websites (some networks only stream the most recent episode, others stream most recent 5, etc.). We don't have to think about whether to watch show X using Hulu vs. Free Cable vs. airplay mirroring. We don't have to sit through commercials (even the short 30-second ones that come with streaming).
We don't have to think of any of that.
We just set up the OTA recording in EyeTV, go about our lives, and then when we have time and interest, pop on the Apple TV and watch the recorded shows that are waiting for us, all tagged and queued up in the same place on our TV screen.
So, whether it is "worth it" to set up such a convenient system will be different from person to person. Sure I CAN just keep track of what to watch on which website, which shows are on Hulu vs. only available on the network website vs. only available on iTunes, etc. But I don't WANT to have to do that. I just want to flip on the TV and watch.
While the setup of the HD Homerun / EyeTV system was non-trivial, now that it is set up it requires very little maintenance or interaction from me other than deleting watched shows every once in a while.
That said, we do of course have to deal with the Hulu/FreeCable setup for cable shows. Daily Show comes in via Hulu, Project Runway through FreeCable, Breaking Bad is only on iTunes (for current season anyway). And we do the Airplay-mirroring thing for live TV events that we want to watch same-day but don't want commercials. (That is, we'll set the recording for the show in EyeTV, wait 15 minutes or so after the show starts recording, then Airplay mirror the mac's screen to the TV and watch it in the EyeTV program, fast-forwarding through commercials until eventually catching up with "live" by the end.)
But all those outliers are less convenient than the DVR approach.

I have scripts that run through ical triggers to clean up EyeTV recordings and delete out iTunes shows with playcounts of 1 or more every day.
It's very easy to completely automate it if you want to put a little time in up front.
|Dec 6, 2012, 02:34 PM
Did you write these scripts in AppleScript or did you use automator?
|Dec 6, 2012, 03:28 PM
Here's the clean up itunes script:
tell application "iTunes"
set filesToDelete to location of (file tracks whose (video kind is TV show) and (unplayed is false))
delete (tracks whose (video kind is TV show) and (unplayed is false))
end tell
tell application "Finder"
repeat with theFile in filesToDelete
delete theFile
end repeat
end tell
end try
I don't keep anything that has a playcount higher than 1, but you might be able to solve that problem by running a delete script on the results of a smart playlist.
Compile that, export as an application and trigger it with iCal whenever it works best for you.
I have a few others that I use to wipe the EyeTV recordings and one I use with Hazel to automatically tag EyeTV recordings as they come into iTunes.
EyeTV delete script is really simple:
tell application "EyeTV"
delete recordings
end tell
again, compile it and export as an application. Then call it with iCal at a given time.

The cable box is going back to Bresnan on Monday (end of the billing cycle). I am anxious to make the switch and see how much adjusting we have to do...LOL! I think it will be just fine. I am also probably going to get the Elgato EyeTV Hybrid for my wife for Christmas, so we have record capability on our Mini.

The best setup I've ever used is the setup I have now. On a 2012 mac mini I have Sickbeard find the shows I want and then it has SABnzbd+ download them to my PLEX directory. From there I can either watch it in my living room on the TV that's connected to the mac mini, airplay to my upstairs TV with appleTV or stream to my iPhone or iPad to wherever in the world I happen to be. Most of the time I get shows an hour or two before they air in my timezone. I can access my library when at friends houses and stream to their appleTVs, too.

5 pages of commentary aside, my take FWIW:
Early 2006 we cut the cord. More to the point, we didn't connect it up. Two years prior we had standard analog cable TV and watched it some. One year prior we moved and went with full-package digital cable TV, watching little and mostly inanities ("House Hunters" etc.). Then we moved again and ... didn't have it installed; Internet, yes, but just didn't ask for TV service. Too busy most of the time to lounge around with pap TV, and had plenty of DVDs and rentals when we did. Couple years ago got the HDTV (publisher's reward for reaching a high book sales goal - good job dear), and the TV was a no-brainer at $99 + Netflix streaming @ $9/mo.
Didn't like ads before, can't stand 'em now. No longer chained to a few channels (most of the thousand or so on a big TV plan are time-shifted duplicates, intolerable, or blank), "a la carte" has arrived - there's plenty to choose from without artificial limitations. I have 3 sources now: Netflix with its cheap but slightly aged content, iTunes with its latest content at decent "yeah I really want to watch that now even for $5" prices, and a mile away is a Redbox with recent blockbusters for $1.50/night Blurays. There are a handful of major-network shows we may want to see, and are usually available next-day on their websites (Bachelor[ette], Amazing Race, Survivor). The one devastating loss is the Olympics, with its live feed of major events with premium views & commentary; missing THAT is painful.
A key winner is the kids. No ads, no uncontrolled content, all the Dora/Diego/Elmo/WonderPets/etc. they can consume at no additional cost, when they/we want, no fortune spent on discs and their multiple replacements (breakages, scratches, dried goobers). Also a great deal of content otherwise hard to find or even know of (Oscar's Oasis).
TV, as generally understood in society, stinks. You're the product; they'll feed you whatever lowest common denominator it takes to sell your eyeballs. Life is short, if you're going to watch
Oh, and Hogfather is great for this time of year: a gloriously deranged retelling of popular Christmas legends. And it's on Netflix, so when a friend recommended it I was watching it a few hours later.
After a few years of TV + Redbox, the thought of returning to "cable TV" makes me ill.
|Dec 13, 2012, 07:15 PM
Once everything is set up you don't have to do anything. Everything is automated. The costs involved are pretty low, you could get a block account with astraweb for $50 for 1TB (that would be about 2700 standard definition episodes, or about 1000 in high definition) or you can get an unlimited account from usenetserver for $95 for a year.
There's a good writeup on how to set everything thing up here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=120406 - it's more PC centric but you'll get the idea, setting it up on a mac is very similar.

I just laughed and said no thank you. The guy was genuinely surprised I didn't jump at that offer.
I will say this - I'm not as happy as I could be with Netflix parental controls on the Apple TV. You really do have to police the kiddos when they're watching. I have a 6 and a 3 year old - 6 year old runs the TV, chooses the shows and knows how to operated it all. BUT - unfiltered Netflix has some pretty graphic cover art on display sometimes, and it'll show up on the top menu before she gets down to "just for kids".
I've read up on Netflix parental controls and so far i'm not impressed - from what I understand they have to be set up on the netflix web interface, then take as long as 24 hours to propagate out to streamers. There's also no passcode/adult key access - so after the kids are in bed, you have no real way to get around the controls as an adult.
Not ideal. But we just make sure we're paying attention to what the kids are watching for now.

are any of you guys sports fans? I find I could easily cut the cable if it wasn't for football and a few other things (playoffs in other sports i enjoy).
|Dec 14, 2012, 02:03 PM
I am a bigger baseball fan, and while MLB streaming has been hit or miss over the last 3 years that i've been on it, this past season was better overall than it has been in a long time. Much less stuttering/rebuffering and downright drops in 2012 than 2010-2011 for sure.
Playoff baseball is a challenge at the divison series level, but the MLB apps along with radio can fill in the gaps if you're really serious about it. Heck - I've gone to my local sports bar and enjoyed playoff baseball in that atmosphere and found if was really a great time and something I had never done before.
It'd doable if you're not a complete fanatic who has to have Red Zone and pixel perfect perfection.
|Dec 14, 2012, 02:30 PM
(Not judging anyone who chooses to go that route; Notice I said "legally", not "morally". Not trying to spark that discussion.)
Using EyeTV or Windows Media Center to record OTA, and using a jailbroken Apple TV to access Hulu and "FreeCable" is NOT legally ambiguous. Hulu makes it's material available for free on the web, and FreeCable just grabs the video stream from any TV Show that has been posted on the network website by the network itself.
Just as an FYI for other prospective cable-cutters: If you care about legality of this type of thing, recording OTA and jailbreaking the ATV2 are not as legally ambiguous as usenet/torrents.
|Dec 18, 2012, 11:11 AM

Actress, philanthropist. Born on May 4, 1929, in Brussels, Belgium. A talented performer, Audrey Hepburn was known for her beauty, elegance, and grace. Often imitated, she remains one of Hollywood's greatest style icons. A native of Brussels, Hepburn spent part of her youth in England at a boarding school there. During much of World War II, she studied at the Arnhem Conservatory in The Netherlands. After the Nazis invaded the country, Hepburn and her mother struggled to survive. She reportedly helped the resistance movement by delivering messages, according to an article in The New York Times.
After the war, Hepburn continued to pursue an interest in dance. She studied ballet in Amsterdam and later in London. In 1948, Hepburn made her stage debut as a chorus girl in the musical High Button Shoes in London. More small parts on the British stage followed. She was a chorus girl in Sauce Tartare (1949), but was moved to a featured player in Sauce Piquante (1950). That same year, Hepburn made her feature film debut in 1951′s One Wild Oat in an uncredited role. She went on to parts in such films asYoung Wives' Tales (1951) and The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) starring Alec Guiness. Her next project on the New York stage introduced her to American audiences.

I bought a set of these levers for my "training bike" and they're absolutely perfect - similar feel to what I have on my P4 but, being that they're for a training bike, they don't break the bank. I was surprised at how nice the carbon lever looks. At this price point, I honestly didn't expect much - I have to say that they were far better than what I'd expected. I'm not sure you could find a better deal on a set of carbon brake levers.

Yannis Koutroupis – 12/02/2011 6:47am EST
A source close to Los Angeles Lakers Center Andrew Bynum has been predicting that he would end up being traded to Orlando Magic for months now and reiterated that sentiment to HOOPSWORLD today. The belief is based off the assumption that the Magic are eventually going to be willing to trade All-Star center Dwight Howard.
For the first time in three summers, Bynum was healthy and spent the prolonged offseason preparing himself for what should be the best year of his career. The source classified Bynum as "indifferent" to all the trade talk and willing to play wherever. This is the third time he's been rumored to be the centerpiece of a package for an All-Star, previously being involved in discussions for Kevin Garnett and Jason Kidd.
The source also spoke highly regarding how good of a fit Bynum would be in Orlando, stating that it's his time to be the man. Bynum voiced the desire to be more of a featured option at the conclusion of last season, but it's going to be hard for that to happen as long as Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant are still Lakers.
The Howard saga is still in its early stages, but should start to speed up once he notifies Orlando that he is unwilling to sign an extension.

Nickens: Give Gov. Rick Scott credit; he has some nerve05/01/15Columns
Give Rick Scott credit.
The governor's audacity is impressive, his shamelessness is without limits and his disregard for public perception remains strong.
This is the guy who helped build the nation's largest hospital chain, Columbia/HCA. He was the CEO whose empire made $1.5 billion in profit in 1996, awarded big bonuses to top executives and ruthlessly pressured low-performing hospitals to generate more revenue....
Nickens: Why the Times joined the lawsuit against the governor and Cabinet02/20/15Columns
It should not have come to this.
Citizens, good government groups and news media organizations should not have to file a lawsuit to force someone to examine whether Florida's highest elected officials violated the Sunshine Law. Yet last week 14 plaintiffs (including Times Publishing Co., which publishes the Tampa Bay Times) filed an amended lawsuit that asks a circuit court judge to find that the governor and Cabinet members conducted public business in secret....
Nickens: A discouraging election, but vote anyway10/31/14Columns
Discouraged but not angry.
That is the general mood of Florida voters heading into Tuesday's election, and it matches mine.
Voters are not outraged like they were in 2010, when Rick Scott spent his millions to ride the tea party wave into the Governor's Mansion. That's bad for Scott, because that wave is not there this year. The mail ballots and early voting numbers suggest Democrats are significantly better positioned heading into Election Day than they were four years ago....
Nickens: Greenlight needs a push08/29/14Columns
My crystal ball on Greenlight Pinellas is cloudy.
The plan to create a robust transit system with a 1-cent sales tax increase on the Nov. 4 ballot has been in the works for years. You can pick at some of the projections and financial assumptions, just as you can with any ambitious public works project that looks decades into the future. But this has been well-vetted, and a transit system with expanded bus service and light rail is critical to the success of Pinellas and the Tampa Bay region....
Nickens: Vetting the candidates07/25/14Columns
Either we are getting soft or the candidates are getting tougher.
Not a single candidate cried this year during interviews with the Tampa Bay Times editorial board. I wanted to cry a couple of times because some candidates were so unprepared, but that's another story.
We kicked off our candidate recommendations for the Aug. 26 primary on Friday in the Hernando regional edition, and we start today on the main editorial page with the Hillsborough School Board. The recommendations will run for about eight more days on the main page as we work through nonpartisan races for judge and school boards, and primaries for county commissions, the Legislature, attorney general and governor. The Pasco and Hernando recommendations will wrap up in the regional editions on Aug. 8. We will compile links to all of the recommendations on our website at www.tampabay.com/opinion....

Rick Scott has done more damage to this state than any modern governor.
The Republican has starved public schools and higher education, disregarded voting rights and privacy rights, and dismantled environmental protections. He has little feel for Florida and sides with electric utilities, property insurers, developers and the National Rifle Association over the concerns of families struggling to pay bills, afford health insurance, find quality public schools for their kids and keep their neighborhoods safe....
Nickens: Closing off government from sunshine05/23/14Columns
They talk a good game in Tallahassee about the importance of open government and conducting the public's business in public.
They just don't practice what they preach.
Here's a good snapshot of just how secretive Tallahassee has become.
The former chief of staff for the late Gov. Reubin Askew asked the Florida Supreme Court to force candidates who have blind trusts, such as Gov. Rick Scott, to report the holdings in those trusts in financial disclosure forms filed when candidates qualify for office. Askew persuaded voters in the 1970s to pass the Sunshine Amendment, which requires elected officials and candidates to list their financial assets so voters can judge potential conflicts of interest for themselves. Scott and Republican lawmakers naturally want the lawsuit to be dismissed, and the Supreme Court punted the issue to circuit court....
Nickens: This race is about Scott's record, not Obama's04/11/14Columns
When politicians cannot run on their record, they change the subject.
That's what Gov. Rick Scott has been doing. It's hard to win re-election by promoting how your administration has eroded environmental protections, suppressed voting, fouled up school accountability and teacher evaluations, starved higher education and failed to protect Floridians from higher rates for electricity and property insurance. Good luck boiling that down to a catchy bumper sticker....
Nickens: David Jolly is no Bill Young in race for Congress01/17/14Columns
For a guy who planned for years to run for Congress, David Jolly lacks credibility in his pitch to succeed the late C.W. Bill Young.
This appears to be the Republican's campaign strategy to defeat Democrat Alex Sink in the March 11 special election:
• Pinellas County needs a member of Congress from Pinellas County. I'm from Pinellas County, and she's not.
• I'm running against Washington, and she is a creation of Washington....
Nickens: For Florida politics, a week to remember11/08/13Columns
For political junkies, it was a remarkable week.
Charlie Crist entered the race for governor as a Democrat after once holding the job as a Republican. St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster became the city's first incumbent mayor in more than 25 years to lose re-election — and it wasn't close.
And by Friday, Republicans still couldn't recruit a top-tier candidate to run for the late C.W. Bill Young's congressional seat as Democrat Alex Sink prepared to move from Hillsborough to Feather Sound and became the favorite....
Nickens: St. Petersburg needs a real mayor10/11/13Columns
Bill Foster is St. Petersburg's weakest strong mayor.
Before city voters cast their ballots, they should pause and compare Foster to his two predecessors. The record shows he does not measure up in credibility or results.
David Fischer was well-suited to be the first strong mayor in modern times after voters changed the structure of city government 20 years ago. He did not make waves at City Hall, and his unassuming demeanor was comforting during the tumultuous 1990s that included racial disturbances, the arrival of Major League Baseball and the deal to build the BayWalk entertainment complex. Fischer refocused on the poor minority neighborhoods now known as Midtown, grew more neighborhood associations and left a legacy of thousands of trees planted along public rights of way....
Nickens: Long, hot summer of wasted chances08/23/13Columns
This has been one unsatisfying summer.
It's been hot, rainy and uncomfortable. Housing prices are up but jobs are too scarce. The only thing more frustrating than the weather and the economy is the lack of political leadership at every level.
In Tallahassee, Republicans remain the Party of No regardless of the consequences and Democrats are powerless to do anything about it.
Gov. Rick Scott, House Speaker Will Weatherford and Senate President Don Gaetz won't repeal the "stand your ground" law even after the George Zimmerman trial, even after the protests and even after prosecutors say the law is flawed. Appeals based on emotion or morality don't work. Neither do appeals based on facts. The Tampa Bay Times reviewed about 200 "stand your ground'' cases last year and found the victim was unarmed in more than half of the cases where the killer went free....
Nickens column: In pier debate, leaders fold to naysayers06/21/13Columns
It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
St. Petersburg City Council member Jeff Danner summed up the folly of trying to design a new pier that can win support from a majority of the voters.
"You're never going to get consensus designed by referendum unless you build some Mediterranean inverted Lens pyramid fishing dock,'' Danner said during Thursday night's council meeting, tying together competing suggestions....
Nickens: On budget, gridlock may be breaking04/12/13Editorials
If President Barack Obama and Congress finally reach a budget deal that significantly reduces the federal deficit and invests in the future, it will be because voters and business leaders like Paul Stebbins are tired of gridlock and are demanding compromise. • Stebbins is executive chairman of the board of World Fuel Services, a Fortune 500 company based in Miami with nearly $39 billion in revenue last year. The company is involved in the marketing, sale and distribution of fuel products, and Stebbins became interested in the federal budget mess after Obama and congressional Republicans narrowly avoided a government shutdown in 2011. He stopped by the office the other day with the nonpartisan Fix the Debt, whose Florida steering committee includes former U.S. Rep. Jim Davis of Tampa. Instead of pitching a specific budget plan, the group wants to mobilize business leaders and voters from both parties to push the president and Congress to agree on a balanced long-term approach....
Legislative leaders draw up ambitious agenda02/02/13Editorials
Two Sundays ago, Will Weatherford was teaching his 4-year-old daughter how to ride a bicycle in their Wesley Chapel neighborhood when it started getting dark. The House speaker promised they would try again when he returned home from Tallahassee at the end of the week.
The next day, Weatherford's wife sent him a text message with a video of his daughter riding her bike without training wheels....

I made some great friends as well. Several of my images taken at the camp have gone to print with companies in the outdoor industry. Since then, I have gone full-time as a professional active lifestyle and mountain-sport photographer and I haven't looked back."
– Dan Holz, Photo Camp Participant (at our sister publication Rock & Ice's 2011 Camp)
"Wow, what a week! I had a great time working with each of you, honing my skills and learning some new ones. I liked how everyone was willing and able to answer questions that I had. The schedule was very flexible, which was nice, allowing us to work around when the lighting was good."
– Gregg Gelmis, 2013 Trail Runner Photo Camp Participant
"Attending the photo camp introduced me to some great people plugged into the action sports photography world. This gave me all kinds of insight into various aspects of the biz that can be hard to understand. I was also very much inspired by everyone's enthusiasm for photography. Leaving the camp, I was able to maintain connections that have opened up many opportunities."
– Zach Mahone, Photo Camp Participant (at Rock & Ice's 2012 Camp)

After attending the Rock and Ice Climbing Photo Camp in 2006, he received his first editorial assignment, shooting a Grand Canyon rim-to-rim run for Trail Runner.
"That assignment opened my eyes to the amazing world of trail running!" says Chris. "I had always been an avid hiker but trail running really took me down a path I could have never foreseen."
A few years later, Gore-Tex hired Chris to shoot Colorado's 112-mile TransRockies Run. He is now based in Moab, Utah, and travels the planet as a professional photographer, shooting primarily trail running and BASE jumping for both commercial and editorial clients.

my questions are for Dan who is my favorite guitarist ever :)
1) what influences your style of playing and which guitarists did you look up to growing up?
2) if you ever got to meet the guitarist you looked up to most growing up, how would you tell them how much they influenced you and how much you look up to them?
Wuts up guys. First allow me
Wuts up guys. First allow me to say thank you. Thank you for creating the best music ever. Your music has served its purpose by helping me cope through some tough times in my life. You guys are my favorite band of all time. And David Draiman, you are my idol. Thank you. Questions: Is there any chance you guys will come back through Lubbock, Texas. Saw Yall here in January of 2006 and it kicked ass. And, After 70+ songs written, hve you ever thought about doing acoustic versions of some of the songs? I know you guys did an acoustic opening of " Remember" at one of your shows. That was wicked. Again thank you guys for everything and I look forward to more years of being Disturbed.
I was really interested in
I was really interested in the concept of the song "Three," and I was sad to see that it did not make the final cut of the album. Will that song be released in some way, because I would really love to hear it?
Hey guys, I'm Colleen.
Hey guys, I'm Colleen. Firstly I just want to congratulate you on the success of the band, 10 years is quite the milestone!

Sup guys, I've been following
Sup guys,
I've been following you since 2001 in Chicago (chicago heights actually, yeah close to home huh David?) anyhow I remember back in the day on Disturbed's original message board you all used to come on and answer questions to your fans on a regular, almost nightly basis. I know your lives are ALOT more hectic now, but I also know alot of us miss the one on one we used to have with you. I know you love all us that were on the street teams spreading The Sickness around to help it became the infectious disease it is today. David I remember you took the time to explain alot of your lyrics to us especially the rant on D.W.T.S. being the mother of society (or something like that) and a very long thought out message about your story of lost love through drug addiction. I saw an interview with you on youtube where you were explaining the same thing you told us years ago. All I could think was "wow, he told us that in 2003 on the message boards" I know I'm babbling, Im sure you know what Im getting at, any plans to resurrect a board like that again? And would you use the same screen name, This is the way I pray? I still cant believe you pulled that off without anyone knowing (_)] Cheers Brotha's
What up guys, Very excited
What up guys, Very excited for Asylum on Tuesday!

Since your voice has changed
Since your voice has changed over the years due to the surgery and such, has it impacted the change of style in your music, specifically on the album Asylum?

Recent Puerto Aventuras Reviews
Lots of room to spread out,very comfortable
I have stayed at this property several times, and always have had a very pleasant experience. If you are looking for a larger place that feels like a house, not a condo, than this is the perfect place. The home offers plenty of room to spread out, surrounded by gardens with a view to the golf course from both sides, private garden, screened patio and large pool, it includes 3 floors of space ( the very top floor is the rooftop). It offers the perfect accommodations for families or friends traveling together. I have stayed at condos near the marina in the past but they do not offer the space that this place does, and if traveling with others they can feel very cramped. As with most of the rentals in the area, the pool is shared, but here it is only with the other 2 homes. It feels private. (I disagree with the post below, we have never had to share the pool with anyone and much less with a dog!) The surroundings are very peaceful and green with ocean breezes. Puerto Aventuras Marina, shops, and restaurants are just a short walk past the private homes and by the golf course paths. Overall Puerto it is a very small community and lots of people rent bikes or golf carts if they prefer not to walk. (in answer to the previous post-I would suggest if you don't like the heat and/or have a hard time walking in it than the Riviera Maya is probably not the place for you.) The region offers lots to do in the way of sightseeing, outdoor/nature adventure, family fun, archeological exploration, etc. The owners Jim and Dolores are very knowledgable about the region and Mexico overall, and always willing to help.

Italy picked up their only win of this year's Six Nations when they beat Scotland 13-6 in Rome.
Both teams were winless heading into this fixture, which meant this match determined who would finish last on the log. With Italy suffering five consecutive wooden spoon finishes and head coach Jacques Brunel looking for his first triumph, the Azzurri ran out a determined outfit in front of a 70 000-strong Stadio Olimpico, which has hosted famous victories over Scotland before.
Italy have won the last two clashes against the visitors in Rome, a 16-12 win in 2010 and a 23-20 victory in 2008. They completed the hat-trick in an error-strewn clash, with wing Giovanbattista Venditti scoring the defining try early in the second half.
Overall, it was an ill-disciplined affair that saw three yellow cards issued by referee Alain Rolland, while both sides will be lamented for their poor work at the set-pieces and numerous unforced errors on attack. Defence was the highlight of this match, as both teams' guards stood strong.
Scotland head coach Andy Robinson will remember this as his charges' worst performance of his tenure as they were poor in all departments – a few damning statistics revealed that the Scots only beat one defender in 62 ball carries, they only had 33% of possession and they lost six of their own lineout feeds – most of them in try-scoring range.
The half-time score was deadlocked at 3-3, with wing Mirco Bergamasco and flyhalf Greig Laidlaw trading penalties. The hosts could've held the lead at the break if it wasn't for Bergamasco's poor accuracy from the kicking tee as he missed two goal attempts. Scotland suffered a telling blow before the end of the first 40 when outside centre Nick de Luca was sent to the sin bin for dangerous play.
Italy capitalised on their one-man advantage in the second half when Venditti beat two defenders in a strong run to the whitewash. Scotland reduced the deficit when Laidlaw converted his second three-pointer, but this was cancelled out when flyhalf Kris Burton kicked a late drop goal.
It was nervous finish for the Azzurri, as Scotland built late momentum. However, the latter's errors on attack and at the lineouts spoilt their opportunities in the hosts' red zone. Both teams received yellow cards in the final half hour, with lock Jim Hamilton and flanker Alessandro Zanni punished for foul play at a lineout and breakdown respectively.
It didn't have any major influence on the match, though, as the Italians went on to achieve victory. The result left Scotland whitewashed this year.
