stringing O3
I'm not sure where to obtain an O3 tool on short notice, but could I just stick my pinky in the holes to to keep the tensioning string in place?
I wouldn't. You can stick something in between the strings inside the frame, or hold the frame with your other hand perhaps. I forget who it was, but someone came up with the idea to use an s hook you could get at the hardware store. I remember looking at a picture I think was posted on this forum and it looked like it would work OK. You might try searching for that thread.
Oh if you have a starting clamp, the 50/50 pattern would be a good way to go. I think Irvin posted a video on that recently.
Don't put your finger in those holes. Trust me it is going to hurt. If you are doing 1 piece the boomerang is your best bet but it will take a while to get them from Prince and as I understand it you may have to call a few time to get them. If you are doing 2 piece I like the two piece 50/50 method. Both methods are in my video.
There are other option some people use a sharpie cap which is about 1/2" in diameter. I don't like them they are angled and can fly out. Get a wooden dowel or anything else that is about as round as the thickness of the distance between your crosses. There are only going to be about 4 or 5 crosses that are effected by the. Those are the first ones below the normal grommet holes until you get to the center of the racket. Once you get to the center the normal pull of the tensioner puts the string in the bottom of the port and all is ok. Once you find the spacer you want place it perpendicular to the string bed, close to the frame, between the string you are tensioning and the string above it while pulling tension. Clamp your string and move on.
Here is anther trick that may help. Some stringers have adjustments for the 6 and 12 o'clock supports that adjust separately. If your's is like that mount the racket so it is off center and the swivel for the bar is as close to the top of the racket as possible. I am not a big fan of this option but it was one of the USRSA's top tips a while back so I doubt it is bad for the frame.
Then there is the brake and hip methods. The brake holds the racket in position so the strings stay in the bottom of the grommet where they need to be for clamps. Twisting the stringer and holding it with your hip works too. If you have a table top with no brake neither of these work.
Best of luck
thanks guys! Unfortunately I'm operating on limited funds/machinery. With a table-top, no-break gamma x-2, I cannot use the hip method. No starting clamp = no 50-50 pattern :(
I think I'll take your wooden dowel suggestion, Irvin, because it basically replaces my finger method, which I now understand would have been a terrible idea.
I couldn't find the thread on using 's-hooks' and I'm not sure how that would work.
If you don't have a brake, it's better to hold the racket in place by the handle than sticking your finger in the hole. Your finger has way too much friction. Another thing to do is mount the frame as far down in the stringer (toward the throat) as possible. You'll reach the point where you don't need to hold it faster.
^^ It would be hard to hold the racket by the handle on a table top machine while you are pulling tension with a drop weight. Also correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't it be better to mount the racket farther to the top of the racket so you would reach the center point faster?
Seems so to me also. Just remember reading it in last months Racquettech tips. Probably would be tough to hold a drop weight since you're probably using both hands already. I guess if you've got to do a lot of O ports, buy a new machine.
clamp your machine to a work bench/work mate/table and use the hip method, perhaps.

Watford church fire started deliberately
A fire which caused substantial damage to a church is believed to have been started deliberately.

I would like to ask for the public's help in our investigation. The church is situated on the busy ring road in Watford and I would appeal to anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity at the church this morning to call police as soon as possible."

Something really weird happened to my HD+. I was walking by my nook and I noticed that stock was booting from emmc, but it did so by itself. Before this the nook was either off or had CM running from the SD. No one touched it. It's possible that something was pushed against the power button, but how would it boot from emmc with a working CM SD inside? I did download the generic B&N app from apps.evozi.com . I was not able to get the apk from that chrome extension or by spoofing the nook device name. I certainly hope getting the apk from a third party website has nothing to do with it. Any ideas?

Jungle IslandRead MoreFor twenty terrifying nights this fall, the normally tranquil confines of Watson Island will be visited by an ancient evil and the malevolent modern forces that awakened it. Designed by the frightmasters that brought you the award-winning Festival of Souls?which was voted the scariest haunted house in Florida by HauntWorld.com?Terror in the Jungle transforms Jungle Island into a massive, interactive haunted experience. Visitors enter a jungle beset by toxin-infused beasts, shambling zombies, and wrathful gods bent on punishing any mortal who dares wander the undergrowth. After navigating five acres of dense pathways, visitors arrive at the main event: the Ruins Pyramid Haunted House, a 10,000 square foot temple of unimaginable evil and bone-chilling scares. The Storyline Like a great scary movie, Terror in the Jungle comes with a back story that sets up the fright within. The story begins on 12/21/2012, a day purported to mark the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar. As the world woke to yet another day on Earth, the prophesy manifested itself in an unexpected way. In the skies above Mexico, a cargo plane transporting hazardous materials from a government research lab faltered, crashing into the ruins of an ancient, forgotten city. The toxins on board seeped into the surrounding environment, mutating plants and people alike. Locals entreated the old gods for help, but found only retribution; insulted by mankind's disregard for life and nature, the deities unleashed the Hunter, a demon bent on wiping out any human in its path. It is now 2014. The Mexican government, desperate for answers about the crash and its aftermath, has uncovered rumors of ecological unrest deep within a remote jungle. Now, government officials and Hazmat containment specialists are gathered at the entrance to the jungle, preparing to clean up their catastrophic mess. Little do they know that these trees conceal overgrown beasts, risen undead, and a supernatural force more powerful than anything they've ever encountered.1111 Parrot Jungle TrailMiami, FL US
Santa's Enchanted ForestRead MoreGiant toy soldiers clothed in thousands of colored lights wave at passersby as glowing reindeer take off into the dusk. Towering Christmas trees topped with stars glimmer and glisten with blue and green fiber optics. At Santa's Enchanted Forest, one of the world's largest Christmas-themed amusement parks, holiday spirit and festive music fill the air long before the end of December. Visitors laugh and shriek on a multitude of carnival rides, including whirling swings, bumper cars, tower drops, and roller coasters, whipping through the air until their cheeks are as rosy as old Saint Nick's. Traditional carnival games are also on hand, such as dart tosses and soccer-ball kicks, to complement more unconventional carnival amusements such as giant plastic balls to roll around in and a rock-climbing wall to scale. Wee visitors, meanwhile, can make the acquaintance of small livestock in a petting zoo or draw a portrait of their favorite goat in royal costume on a wall-size coloring-book mural. Carnival food, such as barbecue, pizza, and cinnamon donuts, fuels guests as they conquer rides or take in the Cats of the World Tiger Show, the Cirque Equinox, or the Sea Lion Splash Spectacular.7900 SW 40th St.Miami, FL US
Monkey JungleRead MoreThis third-generation, family-owned protected wildlife habitat offers the rare chance to see nearly 400 primates run free. Monkey Jungle is the only protected habitat for endangered primates in the United States that is open to the general public, allowing visitors to explore the 30-acre reserve. Upon entering, guests are immediately welcomed by Java monkeys, who at scheduled times will showcase their water skills as they dive into a pool to get fruit pieces. Stroll through a recreation of the Amazon rainforest, the only semi-natural tropical rainforest in North America. The founder of Monkey Jungle spent five years collecting hundreds of different species of plants, trees and palms to mimic the habitat of howler, black-capped capuchin and squirrel monkeys that normally call the South American jungle home. Keep walking to eventually discover the bird domes, blossoming with displaced and captive parrots, as well as orangutans and gorillas that explore the grounds.14805 SW 216th St.Miami, FL US
Medley Paintball ParkRead MoreSplat Paintball Park?s players strap on goggles and cradle Tippmann 98 paintball guns before sprinting through the X-ball grass field or the urban-scenario field encompassed by 20-foot-high netting and high-tech lighting. As players dash around, Paintball Training Institute?certified referees ensure the Geneva Conventions are followed. Teams first design plans of attack in the covered staging area equipped with ceiling fans and cleaning stations, and then hone their aim at the shooting gallery. An onsite pro shop stocks shelves with all the extra equipment they could need. In between matches, players relax in the indoor lounge with a snack bar, a big-screen TV, and paintball videos. Those celebrating birthdays storm the fields with friends before retiring to the private air-conditioned party room.9185 NW 96th St.Miami, FL US
Everglades Safari ParkRead MoreEstablished in 1934, the Everglades National Park, protecting the southern twenty percent of the original Everglades, is the third largest national park in the lower 48 states. A great way to explore the swampy, mystifying beauty of the Everglades is at Everglades Safari Park. That's where you'll find fanboat rides, an alligator wildlife show and tours with extremely knowledgeable guides, who walk guests through the native and exotic wildlife that inhabits the area. The ten acre park is lined with scenic trails that offer perfect opportunities to glimpse birds, reptiles and all the flora and fauna of the Everglades. There is also the possibility of getting your photo taken with Snappy, the famous alligator.26700 SW 8th St.Miami, FL US
Action Town FloridaRead MoreAt Action Town Florida, battles take place with paint, lasers, and putters. A professional paintball team designed the outdoor paintball arena, which sprawls across 2 acres and encompasses urban-warfare and garage areas. Area 51, the laser-tag arena, fuels competition with high-tempo music and glow-in-the-dark obstacles. The nine-hole miniature golf course also glows in the dark, offering a helpful way to distinguish between real obstacles and imaginary friends' heads. Action Town Florida also fills its facility with arcade games, bumper cars, and climbing walls, as well as a bounce-house city with very reasonable property taxes. Its party packages give guests a taste of all offerings, along with refreshments and food.7965 W 2nd Ct.Hialeah, FL US

We all know that the crowds at the DL Resort has been steadily increasing over the last couple of years, to the point where Disneyland reaches capacity and must be closed, and that even the parking gets filled to capacity. The parking sucks enough as it is, and now they're going to lose a chunk of it when they start expanding on DCA. But with the free on your birthday, and the increase of annual pass sales, the crowd levels have been getting really high and uncomfortable for some people.
And now it appears, that things are about to get even worse, if Disney does make an even BIGGER mistake, to go along with all the other recent blunders.
So I'm at the DL Resort today, not to take part in the Gumball Rally (which looked really fun btw), but to roam the parks while my wife Becka-Lynn acted as one of the spotters. I never got any interest in the rally, nor did I get a team. But it looked interesting and if I'm around (and a passholder) next year, I just might try out for it. Felt like I ran the rally with the way my feet are screaming right now.
Anyways, during my tour around the parks, I went into DCA to ride Toy Story Mania. I went into the single rider line, because it's supposed to be faster, right? The guy in front of me thought the same thing. The thing was, when the guests in the regular queue would come up to the boarding area, they'd either be an even numbered group or if there were any odd numbers, the cast member doing the loading would ask them if they'd like to have a single rider join them on the ride. Most of them would say no. But after having this process explained to me by our friendly neighborhood photographer Darkbeer (awesome guy by the way - really cool to talk to. Kind of intimidating, "tough guy" look IMO , but he's a kitten! ) He stated to me that awhile back, a father of 2 kids protested having a single rider ride with one of his kids so that's why CM's have to ask guests if they want a single rider with them. So when there are those that say no, the SR's have to wait. We were only in line for about 20 minutes, but when the guy in front of me asked the other cast member about this, and he was explaining about having to ask guests to let a SR with them, I said they really need to put a FastPass on this ride.
He then proceeded to tell me that Disney is going to be getting rid of the FastPass systems on ALL rides, within the next few years. And that TS was the first new ride to not have one. He stated something along the lines of that when a ride has a FastPass running on it, their ride count is a lot lower than it would be if they didn't have FP running on it. As I was getting on the ride, I flat out told him that if Disney does this, it's going to piss off a lot of guests. He reply was something like "Oh well!" This pretty much tells me that Disney is fast becoming the corporate monster, caring less about families and fun, and being more focused on profit.
I was going to go to Guest Relations at the entrance to ask about this. But before getting there, I passed by Darkbeer near the front of the park where they have the Food & Wine Festival tent, and he was taking pictures for the Gumball Rally. I talked to him for a few, like I said earlier he's an awesome guy, and I asked him about what I was told about the FP. He said he hasn't heard anything about them removing it, only about it being "tweaked" and that he thought that when the Mermaid ride opens, it may get FP and that another ride would lose it (like Mullholland Madness). And he said that I basically heard a rumor. Though he said for me not to waste my time at GR to ask about it, I went anyways to try to hear if there was any truth to the rumor. The lady in there simply said she hasn't heard anything like that, so I left it at that and just left.
Rumor or not, I wanted to post it on here, either for damage control, or to start the proverbial wildfire. I don't know about any of you, but I honestly feel that if Disney really does remove the FP from all of their rides that have it, like California Screamin or Space Mountain, they will be making a really BIG mistake!! It is a really convenient advantage for those that visit the park on a busy day, ESPECIALLY those non-annual passholder/multi day pass guests that come for just one day out of 1 to 3+ years to spend the day at the parks. If FP is removed, it would force them to spend the majority of their day waiting in 2 hour lines, which also has to be spent for (getting in the parking structure, getting in the park, walking from point A to point B, watching any shows they want to see, oh and of course EATING!! AND YOU KNOW THAT LINES ARE BAD, WHEN THERE IS A LINE JUST TO GET A FASPASS FOR SPACE MOUNTAIN!!! UGH!!) And we all know that with FP running, the line for Space Mountain is on average 60 to 75 minutes. If FP is removed, that line will go up to 2 hours+. Or guests will just stop coming. A lot of people don't go to the park because it's always so crowded. Granted, the crowd levels kind of disprove that theory. And that's because they currently have the convenience of FastPass. It's because of this, that people still go despite the high level of crowds. But even with that, when people go, while they're at the parks, they're complaining about the crowds and bickering with each other at the end of the night while trying to get on the trams. It's because of Fastpass that makes this headache a little more tolerable, allowing guests to get a few more rides in before they have to leave for home.
If this is simply just a rumor, and there is no truth to it and it will never happen, then that's great. No harm, no foul. But if it's more than just a rumor, if there is some truth to it, then I think that Disney fans everywhere should be ready to take a stand against it. (The guy mentioned the parks in Florida, so they could be doing it there, or are planning on it.) So that's why I'm posting this, to get the word out.
Because what it's all going to boil down to, is that Disney wants to care less about the little man, and care more about getting more bang for their buck. They want to up the sales for their annual passes and 2/3 day passes, trying to convince guests to visit for more than just one day. It just shows me that they care less about the fans, and more about the Benjamins.

New technology eases recovery time in many dental procedures
For dental patients, the whine of the drill or sight of the scalpel is sometimes worse than the procedure itself. Young and old alike often cringe when these crude devices descend toward their vulnerable chompers.
But at the Western Avenue periodontal practice of Dr. Reed Ference, many patients get a relative treat in a new piece of equipment: a Waterlase system that negates the need for metal to even touch the gums.
Things have really changed since I got out of my program in '87, said Ference. "The last 15 to 20 years have been revolutionary."
As a periodontist, Dr. Ference uses the Waterlase system primarily to cut, but it can also be used as a drill in other disciplines. Though one would imagine it's the laser doing the work, in actuality the laser energy is focusing and propelling a water feed. When concentrated, the water acts like a super-sharp, ultra-precise knife.
The system is capable of making extremely accurate cuts down to 0.2 mm in width, but still packs enough power to slice through bone. Additionally, the laser energy can be turned up to provide heat to the area, quickly cauterizing incisions and killing bacteria.
All this not only makes for a quicker recovery time, but for a faster procedure.
It's also less painful, so the need for anesthetics is lessened when compared to scalpel-driven surgeries. The reaction is different because of the precision, said Demetri Ballas, of the Waterlase maker Biolase.
"It's so gentle on the body that the body doesn't think it's being injured," he said. "When you're using lasers to cut soft tissue there's no swelling."
Ballas said it's unusual for a periodontist to purchase a Waterlase system, partly because of its cost and partly because it makes expensive surgeries less necessary.

Originally written on SLAM Online | Last updated 11/18/14
by David Cassilo / @dcassilo No team in college basketball will go undefeated this season after No. 9 Murray State was upset at home on Thursday night, falling to Tennessee State, 72-68. The Racers started the season 23-0. Early on, it seemed like business as usual for Murray State. It held a 40-33 halftime lead, and its star player, junior guard Isaiah Canaan, was on his way to a 31-point night. But everything fell apart in the second half as the Racers managed just 28 points. Down 69-68 with 11.2 seconds left, Canaan turned the ball over with a chance to take the lead. After Tennessee State sank two free throws, the Racers once again failed to get off a shot. Despite the loss, what Murray State accomplished already this season was not lost on its head coach. From the Memphis Commercial Appeal: "I've got to do a better job in some areas to make sure we're doing a better job executing at times," said head coach Steve Prohm. "But, I'm proud. I'm extremely proud of our guys. We had ...

Re: Is Sailing Sexist?
I would have to say "yes". For a majority of boat owners out there it is. As discussed to ad-nausea on most boats there are pink and blue duties. Than there are boats like mine where I am the Captain. There are strong women out there, I believe we are just a small minority.
To qualify this we need to look at the boating community as whole. There are day sailors, serious sailors ( racers and boaters who use there boats a lot), liveaboards, coastal cruisers and world voyagers to name a few. The last 3 is where I see most of the strong women who can do both duties; pink/blue.
It is also can be broken down into generation classes as well. Baby boomers and earlier tend to hold more traditional roles of gender while young generation in particular the X,Y,Z (DINKS, Dual income no kids) gang women tend to cross gender roles more readily.
There can be a whole book or three on gender class roles and the changes over the last 100 years.
In sports Title X ruling for equal access and money in school sports help us women getting into sports where they boys club has keep us out for centuries. Since sailing is a sport, we have seen more and more women compete in world sailing events. The next VOR will have an all women's team for example. In the coming decades I believe we will see more women on equal footing with the men in this great sport. Than this debate might be dead.

DALLAS -- The Big 12 message was solidarity at its media days' kickoff. But once you got past the corporate buzz words -- "branding initiative"? -- the high-roller event planner, the cheerleaders and the cheerleaders' spirit coordinator, the real message leaked through.
Make that real, old message: We're Texas and we're going to do whatever the hell we want.
What exactly has changed in the new Big 12? Not much if you consider that even the chicken, as someone tweeted at lunch, was burnt orange. Power and influence have just taken different forms in this Large Dozen (minus two). That being, just how much influence the Longhorn Network will have when it debuts Aug. 26.
|More on Big 12
Gregg Doyel
The Big 12 has never been a happy marriage, and it's probably headed for a bad ending. Read More>>
|Related links
The possibilities are quickly becoming the subject du jour for every major college AD in the country. The NCAA is so flustered about the network's intention to televise Texas high school games with Texas recruits in them that it called a summit next month to discuss the issue.
How big is the issue? It is taking the NCAA considerably longer to decide whether Texas can show high school games than it took for it to decide the Buckeye Five could play in the Sugar Bowl. And folks thought that was unfair.
If Texas is allowed to proceed, then why not Notre Dame, which also has its own network partner, or the Pac-12 or BYU? And where does the monetizing -- another corporate buzzword -- of high school athletes end? When are they going to want a cut?
New questions, same uncertain mood hanging over the conference that still counts Nebraska and Colorado in its name, if not its membership.
"To me, there's just no common sense there," said Missouri coach Gary Pinkel, just getting warmed up. "That can't happen. Are you kidding me? That's my observation. ... You want a degree of fairness in any league."
Things have never been fair in the Big 12. It was a cultural and geographical mashup that was a forced marriage from the beginning. Ask Nebraska -- you can find the Huskers in the Big Ten these days -- which saw its power from the old Big Eight diminish the moment Texas walked in the room 16 years ago.
Or ask Pinkel now. The Tigers coach has spent more than a decade leading the program to one of the high points in its history by recruiting heavily in Texas. That makes him no different that dozens of coaches across the country. He doesn't want a nationally televised high school game of (state of) Texas recruits on Texas' own network to marginalize that decade-long effort.
What separated him Monday that he was willing to call B.S. on TLN.
"You want to get in and do what's right for the Big 12 ... ," Pinkel said. "If you don't want to do that, you become an independent."
That's what many think will be the end game for Texas. Texas A&M and Oklahoma will become so upset at the nation's No. 1 school in athletic revenue making another power grab, that they will bolt for the SEC. That will cause the Armageddon scenario that was avoided last year.
Missouri, then, better be careful what it wishes for. In that scenario, it would be cast adrift with the likes of Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State, hoping for a lifeline from some geographically undesirable league. One high-ranking network executive said this last week at the SEC media days: Those other Big 12 teams do understand why their league exists today, don't they?
|Gary Pinkel's objections could help stop TLN from broadcasting prep games, but it won't lessen Texas' influence in the Big 12. (US Presswire)
"I don't think that part will have any effect on recruiting at all. ... The people that would be hurt if you don't show high school games will be the high school coach and the players who 99 percent will not even play college football," Mack Brown said. "So if you think about it, there would be a lot more prospects from the other teams in the Big 12 on the network than the ones from Texas."
That's one way to look at it. There were others. Yahoo! Sports reported that Texas A&M administrators kept coach Mike Sherman from doing interviews with TLN. The Aggies administration has been a vocal critic of Texas' perceived recruiting advantage with TLN.
"I think it sends us down a slope," Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard said. "Look at what happened in basketball. We don't need that to get any worse."
The NCAA long ago lost control of high school basketball recruiting. It is trying to hold onto what's left of the integrity of football recruiting.
All parties are on board as agreeing to whatever the NCAA decides. The problem is this issue is looking more and more like the Cecil Newton dilemma. There was no NCAA bylaw to govern a parent pimping his son for money he never received. Similarly, there is no bylaw to govern a university pimping high school teenagers for ratings on its own network.
All parties are also heading into a bunker. Texas A&M AD Bill Byrne sent out a tersely worded statement regarding TLN last week. On Monday, he pointed toward an Aug. 1 meeting among the league ADs.
"I caught about 36 salmon," Byrne said upon his return from an Alaska vacation, "and the one thing I learned from them if they keep their mouth shut, they don't get hurt."
ESPN doesn't want to harm to Texas, which is trying to piss off the Big 12, which is looking for guidance from the NCAA. But if Texas wanted to drop the subject, it could right now. Texas-branded high school football is a new frontier for ESPN, and possibly the others with network futures -- BYU, the Big Ten, the Pac-12 and Notre Dame.
It's a new world that is being played out in public, on the airwaves and in Texas' profit margin.
"In this day and age, families don't get to work through their issues without the neighbors knowing about it first," Pollard said.
That's why the Big 12 went big time, hiring that event planner that had done Super Bowl parties. Commissioner Dan Beebe took the stage a reception to the strains of the The Natural to announce the conference's new slogan: How We Play.
A sentence fragment for a fragmented conference. Perfect.
"You can feel that camaraderie," said Tracey Wittwer, spirit coordinator for those cheerleader hostesses.
Yeah, but for how long?
"When the meeting is over," she said, probably not quite grasping the significance.

Re: Nibiru
They think they're avoiding playing God in TNG by letting nature take its course, but who's to say having other more technologically advanced cultures --preferably secretly-- protecting species from destruction isn't part of the "natural order" (whatever that means) itself? They evolved naturally to that state, and they have already made countless changes and interfered with the course of development of the universe simply by existing. That's the way things have been happening for billions of years. Earth (and other Federation worlds) was certainly no stranger to having overseers and protectors from future/more technologically advanced cultures looking out for preserving species or the planet itself, so it's amazingly hypocritical to deny that service to other species when Humans and the Federation are put in the same position.
It also makes the arrogant assumption that species are too primitive or irrational or stupid to handle to truth if it's explained to them, in the cases where you have no choice but to reveal yourselves to save them. While that might be true sometimes, the PD's blanket zero tolerance policy is irrational and stupid itself. We get a glimpse of that attitude in the TNG episode where the villager kills himself upon exposure to the truth after Worf's brother saved him, and people act as if Nikolai was some kind of monster as a result, when if the Enterprise crew were left to their devices the villager and all of his people would be dead anyway.
The parts of the Prime Directive that say you shouldn't needlessly expose a culture to future technological advancements that can be abused or to social customs that can alter their own, and that you shouldn't interfere in internal disputes (so long as they don't threaten the entire species) are conscientious and reasonable. But when it's used as an excuse to sit back and do nothing as a species is wiped out by a natural or technological disaster or war it's disgusting and arrogant and playing God every bit as much as if you were to interfere directly. Good riddance to it.
'First Contact' is the tale of a man who just wants to cash in on his creation so he can get wasted on an island full of naked women, but his fans keep insisting that he's a saintly visionary who has profoundly altered the world. AKA - 'I Don't Want to be a Statue: The Gene Roddenberry Story.'

Re: Nibiru
Imagine a close relative is dying, and you could only save him by wiping his entire memory and personality in the process. He/She would be alive, but at the same time completely gone.
So yes, the proper choice would have been to let nuSpock die there and keep the Abramsprise under water, because that way the culture would have been saved without a GOD coming down to them saving them.

But then if a natural disaster happens here somewhere on Earth today, does the rest of the the countries not try to help?
The PD is, if applied with this bureaucratic word-for-word mentality, as cold and inhumane as "the needs of the many..." is dangerous if applied blindly without reflection to every situation.

And if they react to it by blowing the asteroid up and then ask us to worship them, that would be horrible.
That brings up an interesting question. Is there ANY NASA protocol that specifies a distress signal for catastrophes? I mean just in case there MIGHT be a UFO out there? It would be the scientist version of a prayer, I guess.

Re: Nibiru
I remember when 9/11 happened. Part of us just wanted everything to go back to normal. And part of us keep saying "everything is different." But the truth was somewhere in between.
Remember, this is still very early in Starfleet's space-exploration. According to the ST:ID, this is the first 5 year mission ever. Which kind of makes me think that either ENT never happened (happy days!), or it was "cancelled" after four years
The point being, Spock couldn't save his people. He isn't just going to sit around and let some other race suffer the same fate. And his captain - Kirk - is cool with breaking the rules. So there is literally no way to stop them. Except by taking away their ship. Which is what Pike did. But that lasted what, five minutes?
trust in the harper.
the harper is good.

Does anyone just use a stock/replacement grip?
I know a lot of you like to use leather grips and also use overgrips, but I was just wondering if anyone uses a stock or replacement grip on its own?
I have tried many options and alternatives but always find myself preferring a 'standard' grip on its own. Am I the only one?
Who else just uses the standard grip and if so, what do you use?
I recently switched to the Donnay XP Dual and really like their cushioned grips. In the winter, at least, I have not needed an over grip for perspiration.
I like the head hydrasorb grip. I'm thinking of buying a black one to replace the white that gets dirty too quick.
In the winter, on cooler days, I use the stock leather on my Bio Max 200Gs.
I prefer original or replacement grip - very seldom I use overgrips (only to increase grip size or over leather grips).
I use Technibre Xtra Grip & Gosen Nano Cushion.
I'm trying to find a replacement synth grip that's really durable though.
I love the feel if just using a synth grip, but durabilty is something that I struggles to find.
I don't like to use overgrips. My choice of the grip is prince resipro or resithin.
Even though the durability is not good, I can't use any other grips.
Just perfect grip for me ^_^
^^ me too. Ive tried so many overgrips and apart from losing a bit of feel, I never feel the traction is as good as it is with just a synth grip.
I just wish Dunlop would make a better range of grips that were durable. The ones they currently make are ok, but the outer layer is not very tough. I'm a bit of a traditionalist and like to have the same brand grip on my rackets. i just wish there was a durable one that didnt have branding on it.

How to do a manicure or pedicure:
- Wash nails or toes and make sure all nail polish from your last manicure or pedicure is off. Use polish remover if you still have on polish
- Buff your nails from side to side using a buffer. This helps smooth and prepare the nail for the polish
- Start with a base coat to fill in the "ridges" which also helps the nail polish not stain your nails
- After the base coat has dried, apply the nail polish down the length of the nail towards the tip in smooth brushes. Opi makes a fabulous selection of colors, such as Tutti Fruti Tonga and Malaga Wine. Once the nail polish has tried, apply top coat with the same strokes
The History of the Manicure & Pedicure:
- Manicure History
Manicures began 5,000 years ago in India, when henna was used as nail polish. The popular practice eventually moved to China, where Cixi, the dowager empress was known for her beautiful, long nails. Although they were artificial, she always had them well-manicured. Fashion nails then became popular for women who did not have long nails, but still wanted a manicure. In the 20th century and into the 21st century, acrylic and UV gel nails have become the popular "fashion nails."
- French Manicure
The french manicure that we know of today as the pink nail with a white tip began in 1975, when film directors wanted actresses' nails to complement each wardrobe change. Jeff Pink, the founder of a nail lacquer and treatment company named Orly thought up this manicure style. He named it "French manicure" in honor of his friends in Paris, after runway models donned his new look. "I realized the most elegant, universal nail look is a natural nail look," Pink said.
- Pedicure History
A pedicure is a treatment done to rejuvenate tired and worn feet. The history of pedicures originated in ancient Egypt. The carving shown was created by an official of an Egyptian pharaoh that shows representation of people receiving a manicure and pedicure. The word pedicure stems from the Latin word "pes," which means foot, and "cura," which means care. Pedicures are still done today to prevent nail diseases and disorders, as well as to improve posture due to smoothed and relaxed feet
- Reflexology
Reflexology is the act of applying pressure to the feet and hands with hand techniques that are based on the zones and reflex areas that affect other connected body parts. The image maps out the areas where different body parts are represented, such as the shoulders, spine, arms and so on. Reflexology helps reduce stress and although spa technicians may not be reflexologists, the outcome of pedicures mirrors the results of reflexology treatments, as they share similar goals such as rejuvenation and relaxation
- Benefits
Manicures and pedicures are stress-relieving treatments that provide relaxation, produce softer skin and leave you feeling revitalized. Oils and lacquers used on fingernails and toenails also provide your nails with longevity and make them stronger. You can also give yourself home manicures and pedicures, which will save you money and give you time to yourself to unwind and respond to your body's need for pampering

Zeresenay Alemseged
Photograph by Kenneth Garrett
For several months each year, paleontologist Zeresenay "Zeray" Alemseged patiently and methodically sifts through soils—and time—under the relentless sun in the remote reaches of Ethiopia's Afar region. There he leads exploration of the Busidima-Dikika paleoanthropological site, which is yielding important clues about the four-million-year history of human evolution.
Native to Ethiopia, Alemseged was born in 1969. Eager to understand why his country yields so many pieces to the puzzle of human evolution, he earned an undergraduate degree in geology from Addis Ababa University in 1990 and went to work for the National Museum of Ethiopia.
After two years, Alemseged left for France. There he received a master's in paleontology at the University of Montpellier and University of Paris in 1994 and a doctorate from the University of Paris and the French National Museum of Natural History in 1998.
Alemseged is currently a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. As leader of the Busidima-Dikika paleoanthropological project, he returns to his native Ethiopia each year, helping to build a bridge between the international scientific community that has dominated the human-origins scene and a new generation of African scientists who may represent the future of African paleoanthropology.
The Busidima-Dikika project began in 1999 with support from the Institute of Human Origins, the Leakey Foundation, and the National Geographic Society.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Over the last year, CPP has made many renovations to its campus and is still continuing to do so. Most recently, Cal Poly finished the $58.5 million expansion and renovation of the University Library. Our library now holds 2.4 million books, microfilms, maps, and some 3,000 periodicals and 2,800 online journals and databases. It features a two-story Grand Reading Room, a Learning Commons, a Productivity Center, and 43 Group Study Rooms. Additionally, the bottom floor contains state-of-the-art classrooms and lecture halls, a Special Events Room, a 24-hour lab, and a Starbucks! All of these additions have made the library much more useful, as well as a more popular place for studying.
This renovation came right after Cal Poly updated the engineering laboratories (building 17) and the biotechnology building (building 4). CPP also added to the Japanese Garden, making it more beautiful than ever. The Bronco Student Center was also recently revamped, with a two-story Fitness Center, a study lounge, and a game room. Currently, Cal Poly is in the process of updating Building 3, as well as building three additional Residential Suites with different apartment floor plans from the other Suites. Cal Poly plans to unveil the new Suites in Fall 2010. The rest of the buildings are just regular buildings, filled with classrooms, labs, and in some cases (such as Building 1), study areas.

Two masked men who beat a man loading his car in South
Auckland in the early hours of the morning are being sought
by police.
The man was attacked as he put some items in his car which
was parked in the driveway at his house in Mill Road,
Alfriston, around 7.50am on Monday, February 24.
The two unknown men approached the victim, one armed with a
knife and the other with a pistol. They beat him and drag him
to the ground, police said.
He managed to break free and run for help, but suffered
injuries to his face which required stitches, as well as
bruising to his body.
Papakura CIB Detective Sergeant Michele Gillespie said
following the attack, the man's house was ransacked and a
small amount of foreign currency and a toy BB gun was stolen.
"The offenders were tracked by a police dog unit to the back
of Alfriston School on Alfriston Road before the track was
"It is possible that the offenders had a vehicle parked near
this location or somewhere on Alfriston Road and we are
interested in hearing from anyone who may have seen something
suspicious around this area."
The first offender was described as a male Maori or
Polynesian and of medium build and had his mouth covered. He
was carrying a black hand gun and wearing a light grey
coloured hoodie.
The second was also described as a male Maori or Polynesian
of medium to skinny build. He was carrying a knife and
wearing a light coloured hoodie which was black on the
inside. He had a black and white cloth covering his mouth.
Ms Gillespie said it was particularly traumatising that the
attack happened on the victim's property.
"We'd like to hear from anyone who has information on this
incident as soon as possible in order to prevent these
offenders from targeting anyone else in the same way."
Anyone with information or who may have seen suspicious
activity around Alfriston School that morning is urged to
call police as soon as possible either by calling Ms
Gillespie on 09 259
034509 259 0345
or providing information anonymously through Crimestoppers on

When it comes to draping your bike in bags, stuffing them full with supplies, and setting out for the untamed, no passion may be greater than that of Revelate Designs. Hailing from the natural mystique we know as Alaska, Revelate Designs innovates and builds the highest quality bikepacking and adventure cycling gear as an outlet for their ardor.
For those of us who enjoy minimalist bike packing and commuting, the majority of the time we don't necessarily need large frame or handlebar bags that are suited for the multi-day adventures. Truth is, a simple saddle bag is all we need. By simple we don't mean lackluster on quality. The small yet resilient Pika seat bag delivers the Revelate Designs eminence in a saddle bag designed for bikes with little tire clearance or lacking seatpost real estate. As the smaller version of its Viscacha big brother, the Pika's side panels are 1.5" shorter in height. The high density foam stiffened front face and hard plastic bottom leaf keep the Pika from sagging, while the adjustable saddle rail connector and internal compression strap provide secure stowing. You don't have to consider yourself a commuter or adventurist to enjoy the Revelate Design excellence. The Pika works great for roadies and mountain bikers.
