Hip-hop circus comes to Concrete Street
Insane Clown Posse brings tour to Corpus Christi
CORPUS CHRISTI - Barnum and Bailey may own the title of "Greatest Show on Earth" when it comes to putting on a traditional circus.
But when it comes to putting on a hip-hop or rock 'n' roll show, Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has no hesitations about where his group stands.
"I don't want to sound conceited, but to me it's the best thing going," he said. "We feel like we're putting on the greatest show on Earth."
Whether one agrees with that assessment may depend on his tolerance for being doused in grape soda, a trademark occurrence at most shows.
Insane Clown Posse brings its "Bang Pow Boom" tour to Concrete Street Amphitheater on Wednesday.
Violent J and his clown-faced counterpart, Shaggy 2 Dope, will bring the most elaborate production of the duo's career, he said.
"This is actually the biggest tour we've ever brought out, as far as stage theatrics and extras on stage, like clowns and show girls and ringmasters, all that stuff," he said. "We've got a whole circus."
After a seven-year absence, the duo has brought back a recurring theme from its previous albums — the Dark Carnival.
So with the new CD, "Bang Pow Boom," fans will find that Insane Clown Posse has sought to recapture the thematic elements of its early albums. The album follows in the tradition of "Carnival of Carnage" and "The Great Milenko" as the group combines boisterous raps with darkly hued, heavy guitar riffs and synth tones that provide a familiar rock edge.
"Bang Pow Boom" has a bit more of a topical bent than previous Insane Clown Posse CDs, as it takes on issues like abusers of women and children ("To Catch A Predator") and business scams and greed ("Vultures").
"That's why we feel 'Bang Pow Boom' is a part of the Dark Carnival, because it attacks those evils and it has a message to it," Violent J said. "The other records we did in between, they just weren't so much saying anything at the end of the day.
"For this album, we wanted that old Dark Carnival sound, but we wanted all-new subject matter, all new song topics, all new stories. But (musically) we wanted the sound to be familiar and the tone to be familiar."
The 2002 CD "The Wraith: Shangri-La" appeared to be the end of the Dark Carnival. That CD was named for the sixth in a series of six joker cards that had tied together six of the key albums released by Insane Clown Posse beginning with the group's 1992 CD, "Carnival of Carnage."
Violent J said doing the subsequent releases — the EPs "Hells Pit" (2004) and "The Calm" (2005) and the full-length CD "The Tempest" (2007) — only caused him and Shaggy 2 Dope to realize that something was missing without elements of the Dark Carnival and the joker cards in their music. Thus, "Bang Pow Boom" was born.

australian federal reserve bank has been cutting interest rate every quarter due to slow economy growth yet the four major banks don't pass the full cut meaning they keep making a profit for their shareholders. who are the major shareholders in banks? the executives of the banks.
saulo, i wouldn't compare you to buddyholly because at least you show some concern that capitalism is exploitation. on the other hand buddyholly get a hard on when a 8 year salvadoran girl is working for 2 cents a day in sweatshop to feed most of her family and yet it doesn't even cover the cost of a meal.

The capitulation of the Indian bowling was complete when Rohit Sharma bowled in tandem with Virat Kohli and skipper M.S. Dhoni turned his arm over.
The 28-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman, Bradley-John Watling, played a major role in the disintegration of the Indian attack.
He said after notching up his third Test century and being involved in a match-changing 352-run sixth-wicket partnership with skipper Brendon McCullum, "We feel very proud about the way we batted today and yesterday. We took one over at a time and then built from there. From the position we were in, it was a hard grind and a big effort."
Watling said, "We knew the first hour would be critical. If we did not lose a wicket, we knew we could build a good lead. From being 90-odd for five to get to this position gives a lot of satisfaction."
Asked about McCullum's performance, the Kiwi skipper came up with his highest Test score, Watling said, "He's still fresh. It has been a great innings from him."
Dwelling on his chemistry with McCullum even as the two of them went past landmarks, Watling said, "We were not thinking about the records. There was no celebration. It was just hard focus. It was a hard grind for McCullum too."
Satisfying effort
On whether his battling hundred here was his best in Tests, the pragmatic Watling said, "Each time we win, it is a great moment for me. Personally, this was a satisfying effort." The surface, he said, played true but added New Zealand had the opportunity to put pressure on India on the last day.
India opener Shikhar Dhawan said, "Whatever the target, we will play accordingly."
He said, "We dominated for the first two days. Today it was a different day, a tough and a long one. Things did not go our way. McCullum and Watling batted very well."
Dhawan denied that the Indians did not attack enough. "It's a learning experience for us," he said.

Here's a tutorial on how to automatically generate Eagle parts from manufacturers' BSDL files. These files are available from some manufacturers and include tables listing pin names and numbers. [via]
Simplify Eagle library part creation from BSDL files – [Link]
Ever want to print your own PCBs for high power LEDs, other SMT power devices, but regular PCBs can't sink enough heat? Fear no more! You can print them right onto silicone thermal tape!
PCBs on thermal tape – Put them on heat sinks! – [Link]
Many users often request if there are any tools that can simplify library part creation. Make-symbol-device-package-bsdl.ulp is one of those tools, it can parse a BSDL file and automatically create a part for you, device, symbol, package everything in just a few clicks. It's one of the more sophisticated ULPs that ship with EAGLE and can be used to speed up part creation especially with high-pin count components such as FPGA and large microcontrollers. Most manufacturers such as TI and Microchip provide BSDL files for their parts. This is also one of two ULPs that come with a manual you can find it in the doc folder of your EAGLE installation. [via]
Eagle Quick Tip: Simplify library part creation – [Link]
Our dear friend Vassilis notes an easy way to trim ground fills on EAGLE PCBs. This tip is really helpful if you would like to prevent ground to be filled on small areas without having to add a new polygon.
Normally, if we like to add a ground plane on a PCB we use a polygon named GND and then empty space is filled with copper attached to GND net (keepout distance from traces, pads etc can be adjusted). In most cases you will notice that copper is filled in areas that we would not like to be filled. A solution to this is to add a polygon on tRestrict layer to prevent copper to be added on that area. This solution works nice for relative large areas of board.
Another way to prevent ground to fill a small area is to use a wire on tRestrict layer placed in such a way to "cut" the ground filling path. Using such wires on the above PCB give us better results as you can see on the screen below.
Jianyi Liu wrote a tutorial on PCB fabrication at home. He states: [via]
A few years ago, I started experimenting with homemade prototype PCBs as an alternative to professionally fabricated PCBs from board manufacturing company. My company was flexible enough to give me some resources and time to explore the subject matter. What I discovered was that with a small initial investment, you can make reasonably high quality two sided boards. In addition, all the equipment needed was easily accessible. I've decided to put my findings into this guide. Hopefully some of my fellow hobbyists will find the information useful
DIY PCB tutorial – [Link]
Here is a great list of some Eagle tips on dangerousprototypes.com. Check it out..
Cadsoft Eagle tips and tricks – [Link]
I decided to order a prototype PCB for my latest project in a professional fabrication company but i could' t decide if i should order it in a company in Europe or Asia. I am located in Europe and I wanted fast and quality service so it seemed that ordering from Europe will be the best choice. But i also was curious about the quality of the cheaper Asia manufacturers. So i concluded ordering the same PCB on both an Europian and an Asian PCB manufacturer. I choose the following PCB manufactures :
- Eurocircuits.com – based on Belgium
- Iteadstudio.com – based on Shenzhen – China
Eurocircuits.com – offers a great user experience when ordering a PCB. You place your PCB in shopping basket, you choose PCB details and you get an instant quote for your order (including shipping, excluding VAT). After placing your PCB in shopping cart you are able to review you PCB in PCB Visualizer. PCB Visualizer is a great tool to test you PCB for manufacturability online. My PCB prototype (2 layers, 1.55mm FR4, 1oz copper, green soldermask, white silkscreen, Lead free HASL, 100% E-test, .. more details here) costs calculated at 85 EUR for 2 pieces including UPS shipping.
Iteadstudio.com – offers a pretty simple billing scheme, you choose from 5 sub-categories based on your max PCB dimensions. Quantity offered for each category is 5-10 pieces and prices are reasonable. I choose the 10x10cm batch offering 10 pieces (2 layers, 1.6mm FR4, 1oz copper, green soldermask, white silkscreen, Lead free HASL, 100% E-test, .. more details here) for a price of 24.90 USD + 25 DHL shipping = 49.90 USD final value.
Order on both manufactures done the same day. Both PCBs come to our door in 10 days. What we got:
- Eurocircuits – we received 3 PCBs in 10 days for 85 EUR. PCB quality is great, plating is more thick on bottom than top layer, pcb cut-offs from panel are visible, soldermask has a faded green color, there are marks from E-testing. Packaged on plastic bag (vacuum). Cost per PCB = 28,3 EUR
- Iteadstudio – we received 10 PCBs in 10 days for 49.90 USD. PCB quality is great, plating is more thick on bottom than top layer, pcb cut-offs from panel aren't visible, soldermask is shiny vivid green color, there are marks of E-testing. Packaged on plastic bag (vacuum) + silica gel. Cost per PCB = 4,99 USD
I can' t figure out any significant quality details between the two PBCs. To me IteadStudio PCBs seems more beautiful and worth the money. So i give +1 to IteadStudio for quality, quantity and processing time!
A great online PCB verification service for free…
For added peace of mind now you can verify your PCB data prior to placing your order. PCB Visualizer is an automatic tool for data input and manufacturability analysis. Clear graphic presentation pinpoints any issues found. You can then fix them up front, helping to avoid delays to your time-critical deliveries. Upload your Extended Gerber (RS274X) or CadSoft EAGLE V6 files and let us surprise you.

Jackie Robinson broke major league baseball's color barrier on April 15, 1947, with the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the sport celebrated the 60th anniversary of his debut throughout the country Sunday, when more than 200 players, managers and coaches wore his number.
A nor'easter pounded much of the East Coast, wiping out six baseball games and postponing the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's major league debut in five cities on Sunday. It was the most postponements in one day in the Major Leagues since April 12, 1997, when eight games were postponed, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Marco Scutaro hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning, sending the A's to a 5-4 win over the New York Yankees on Sunday. Scutaro drove an 0-2 pitch from Rivera off the screen just inside the left-field foul pole for the second game-ending homer of his career.
Albert Pujols broke out of an April drought with two home runs and five RBIs, helping the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 10-2 on Sunday. Pujols, who hit a major league-record 14 homers last April, has three this month. He entered the game batting .158 with two RBIs and 17 career multihomer games.
Tampa Bay's Delmon Young extended his AL-leading hitting streak to 12 games with a two-run homer in the sixth inning of a 6-4 win over the Twins on Sunday.
''It's kind of disappointing a little bit because we wanted to be on the field. This is a special day for baseball and for Jackie Robinson and Jackie Robinson's family because he did a lot for this game.'' - Mets shortstop Jose Reyes on major league baseball's celebration of the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's debut on Sunday. Storms wiped out games in five cities, including a doubleheader in Pittsburgh.

Yankees starters Mussina, Pavano go on disabled list
Sun, Apr 15, 2007
By Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Mike Mussina and Carl Pavano joined fellow Yankees starter Chien-Ming Wang on the disabled list Sunday, further depleting the New York Yankees' already taxed pitching staff.
''Nobody wants that,'' Mussina said after cutting short his throwing session because of pain in his injured left hamstring. ''We don't have a choice. You just find a way to get through it and deal with it. It's unfortunate. ... Nobody's having surgery. A couple of muscle pulls, a strain, we'll be fine.''
After a pair of extra-inning games Friday and Saturday against the Oakland Athletics, the Yankees called up right-hander Chris Britton from Triple-A Scranton to give them a fresh arm in the bullpen for Sunday's series finale against the reigning AL West champion Athletics.
New York manager Joe Torre said the club was discussing a couple of possibilities to take Pavano's turn in the rotation Tuesday against the Cleveland Indians at Yankee Stadium. Left-hander Chase Wright was thought to be the leading candidate to be called up from the minors. Oddsmakers have not set a line for this matchup.
''It's OK,'' Torre said. ''We're above water. That's the main thing. We're holding our own. We're going to get healthy. It's not anything that's going to debilitate anybody for a long time. We have to hang around.''
Pavano was scratched Friday from his scheduled start Saturday with tightness in his forearm, while Mussina has a strained hamstring that he injured three batters into the third inning Wednesday in a 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins. Mussina tried to throw off the mound Sunday morning but stopped after only seven pitches. Pavano didn't throw his scheduled bullpen.
Mussina was able to do some light running and play catch.
''I can do everything else, it's just getting down the hill trying to stop myself,'' he said. ''It was wearing down. It hasn't been four days yet. I'm not disappointed.''
Pavano felt the problem in his pitching arm during his start Monday night and informed the Yankees afterward. He threw seven innings in an 8-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Monday, giving up six hits and two runs for his first victory since May 22, 2005.
He knows pushing it now might make things worse.
''It's not something that's going to get any better going out there and trying to be a hero,'' Pavano said. ''To take a step back like this is disappointing. It's the right thing to do.''
The 38-year-old Mussina, who won 15 games last year for his most victories since getting 17 in 2003, isn't sure whether he will need a rehab start before rejoining the rotation.
''We'll worry about that when the time comes,'' said Mussina, who will be able to throw on flat ground during his DL stint.

Rockies shelve Matsui
April 15th, 2007
Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Colorado infielder Kaz Matsui was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday due to back spasms.
Matsui started at second base Saturday night and went 2-for-3 before leaving the contest in the fifth inning due to the back problem.
Acquired in a trade from the Mets last June, Matsui was off to a big start offensively with a .361 average in nine games this year.
The Rockies replaced Matsui's roster spot by calling up infielder Clint Barmes from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Blue Jays' Johnson to have surgery
April 16th, 2007
Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Reed Johnson will undergo surgery to repair a herniated disc in his lower back, the team announced on Monday.
The surgery will be performed on Tuesday in St. Petersburg, Florida by spine specialist, Dr. Thomas Tolli. It is speculated that Johnson will return to the club sometime in July.
The 30-year-old had been placed on the 15-day disabled list last Friday.
He has appeared in seven games this season, batting .265 with one home run and seven RBI.

My first day in Portland, Maine, I found this frozen river of ice located next to my cousin's house, where I was staying during my visit. The only regret I have was not shooting the sunset that day. I had the opportunity to shoot an amazing sunset but I figured I was going to get a second chance to photograph it another day. That opportunity never came since the remainder of my stay was filled with overcasting clouds. A lesson learned, don't wait on second chances, take the opportunity when it comes.

OpenAL with Nvidia MCP-T
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if the Linux Nvidia nforce2 drivers (ver. 0261) work correctly while using OpenAL? What I mean is, do they offload the audio processing to the MCP? Or is there some adjustments needed to get this to work correctly. I've been using OpenAL while playing UT2004 and I'm trying to keep as much of the workload off the CPU as possible.
Rick B
Re: OpenAL with Nvidia MCP-T
At the moment the audio drivers for the nforce suck. Both oss and alsa drivers use just the onboard codec and not the MCP. Because of this all real work is done by your cpu.
As you know OpenAL is a nice crossplatform 3d audio api. It can do its work in software but it can also let the soundcard do the work. On windows some cards have native OpenAL support, cards that don't have support are handled using directsound or eax. On Linux there's no native OpenAL support.

Treatment Options
If you have a non-cancerous kidney condition such as a kidney obstruction, ureter blockage, or UBJ (blockage the junction of the kidney and ureter) your doctor may recommend surgery. Surgery to remove the blockage is called pyeloplasty. Your surgeon will reattach the healthy part of the kidney to the healthy part of the ureter (tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder).
Open Surgery
Kidney surgery is often performed using open surgery. Open surgery, also called laparotomy, is any surgical procedure in which a large cut/incision is made to reach your organs. The incision must be large enough for your surgeon to fit his or her hands and surgical instruments inside your body. While open surgery allows your surgeon to see and touch your organs, it is invasive and can be traumatic on your body due to the large incision.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Traditional laparoscopy
Traditional laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive – meaning surgeons operate through a few small incisions. Long-handled surgical instruments and a tiny camera are inserted through the incisions to reach your organs. The camera takes images inside your body and sends them to a video monitor in the operating room. The monitor guides surgeons as they operate.
da Vinci® Surgery
With the da Vinci Surgical System, surgeons make a few small incisions instead of a large open incision - similar to traditional laparoscopy. The da Vinci System features a magnified 3D high-definition vision system and special wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human wrist. As a result, da Vinci enables your surgeon to operate with enhanced vision, precision, dexterity and control.
State-of-the-art da Vinci uses the latest in surgical and robotics technologies and is beneficial for performing complex surgery. Your surgeon is 100% in control of the da Vinci System, which translates his or her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside your body. da Vinci – taking surgery beyond the limits of the human hand.
- Learn more: da Vinci Pyeloplasty
Serious complications may occur in any surgery, including da Vinci® Surgery, up to and including death. Examples of serious or life-threatening complications, which may require prolonged and/or unexpected hospitalization and/or reoperation, include but are not limited to, one or more of the following: injury to tissues/organs, bleeding, infection and internal scarring that can cause long-lasting dysfunction/pain. Risks of surgery also include the potential for equipment failure and/or human error. Individual surgical results may vary.
Risks specific to minimally invasive surgery, including da Vinci Surgery, include but are not limited to, one or more of the following: temporary pain/nerve injury associated with positioning; temporary pain/discomfort from the use of air or gas in the procedure; a longer operation and time under anesthesia and conversion to another surgical technique. If your doctor needs to convert the surgery to another surgical technique, this could result in a longer operative time, additional time under anesthesia, additional or larger incisions and/or increased complications.
Patients who are not candidates for non-robotic minimally invasive surgery are also not candidates for da Vinci® Surgery. Patients should talk to their doctor to decide if da Vinci Surgery is right for them. Patients and doctors should review all available information on non-surgical and surgical options in order to make an informed decision.

Snowboard Buyer's Guide
There is a lot to consider when you are buying snowboard equipment, especially if you are new to snowboarding. We want to give you a little insight to what everything means, so you can make a good choice on your snowboard for next season. When you are looking for a board you really need to start by asking yourself some questions about what you want the snowboard to do for you. This will help you find a board that will match your individual riding style.
Quick Jump
- Park Snowboards
- Freestyle Snowboards
- Freeride Snowboards
- Big Mountian Snowboards
- Women's Snowboards
- Kids Snowboards
- Snowboard Length
- Snowboard Width
- Snowboard Flex
- Snowboard Camber
- Core Profile
- Hole Patterns
- Your Budget
- Snowboard Graphics
- Eternal Staff Setups
So Where Do You Ride?
Depending on where you ride you will find a snowboard that is built to your needs. Whether it is in the park, pipe, all mountain, big mountain or even powder specific there is a board out there for you no matter what your riding style.
Park Specific Snowboard
Here is the scenario; you spend almost all of your time in the terrain park, hitting hand rails, jibs and any kicker you can find. Well, we got a board for you. Park boards are pretty task orientated. Usually you are going to find that these decks have a softer flex as well as a "relaxed" side cut.
- A softer snowboard is going to be a bit more forgiving on your landings. If you don't come all the way around on that 540, a soft flex will let you cheat it around, and still impress your friends. The softer flex also allows for better manipulation of the board on rails.
- A park snowboard will generally have a relaxed side cut so it does not want to turn as hard. Again this makes for a more forgiving feel. If you are spending most of your days lapping out the park then you will definitely want to get a park specific snowboard.
All Mountain Freestyle Snowboard
A freestyle snowboard is one of the most versatile boards out there. Often it is a board that can handle any challenge you throw at it. Cork 5 in the park no worries. Drop that 20 foot cliff off the top of the hill, done. Just cruzin' around, this snowboard will really do it all. Typically these boards are going to be a mid-stiff flex. They will also have a good amount of side cut. Both the stiffer flex and more side cut combine to make all mountain freestyle boards very responsive.Shop for Freestyle Snowboards like:
Freeride Snowboards
A freeride snowboard is a close cousin to the freestyle board. Freeride boards good for riding around the whole mountain, just not much in the terrain park. Freeride snowboards are usually very fast, very responsive, very good in powder and on groomers. These boards are going to be on the stiff side. Basically the stiffer a snowboard is the better it is at holding speed. You will find that freeride boards are generally on the longer side as well. If you were to cut open one of these snowboards, you will find a much wider use of exotic materials like carbon fiber, thus there is often a higher price tag attached. A "freerider" is going to spend a lot of time in the steeps and on groomed runs where speeds are higher than in the park. If you like to bomb the entire mountain but stay out of the park, then you're a freerider. Do note that a freeride snowboard is an aggressive board, they are usually a little much for beginners.Shop for Freeride Snowboards like:
Big Mountain Snowboards
Big Mountain is for the guys dropping big back-country steeps. They are not riding resorts with these boards. While it is sometimes tough to tell the difference among park, freestyle, or freeride snowboards, big mountain boards will be much easier to pick out of a line up. These snowboards have all kinds of different shapes. Some are tapered others are rockered and many of them use a combination of both. Eternal carries Big Mountain boards but selection is limited due to the specific nature and limited access of big mountain riding. For most casual back-country riders a freeride snowboard is going to be a great answer.
Shop for Big Mountain Snowboards like:
Women's Snowboards
Yep it is true men and women are built differently, so now their snowboards are built differently. There are three big physiological differences that are considered for women's specific boards:
- Foot size, center of gravity, and body mass, all of which affect the way a snowboarder interacts with their equipment.
- Women's boards are engineered for smaller feet, lower centers of gravity, and lighter weight.
Female riders of all abilities can find boards and snowboard boots specifically tailored to these physiological differences and you will still find all of the different types of snowboards in the women's specific category.Shop for Women's Snowboards
Kid's Snowboards
Most snowboards that are under 140cm are generally kid's boards. For the most part these are no frills very simple soft snowboards, which makes for a forgiving ride. Since the groms are lightweight and not very strong yet the soft board helps them maneuver it around.Shop for Kid's Snowboards
OK you have picked where you ride but now you need to figure out how to pick length and width, flex and camber.
Snowboard Length
The long standing rule of thumb is to grab a board off the wall and it should hit you just under the chin. This is still a good jumping off point; however your weight is a bit more important. A snowboard acts like a leaf spring, in that it has no clue how tall the person standing on it is, but it does know how much they weigh. Below is a sizing chart with some simplified info about board length, but the best place to find this info is typically on an info sticker on the snowboard itself, because the numbers always vary from board to board.
A Snowboard Sizing Chart (but they are not all created equal)
Your Height (in)
Your Weight (lb)
Snowboard Size (cm)
105 - 120
120 - 135
4'10" - 5'
115 - 130
130 - 140
5' - 5'2"
125 - 140
135 - 145
5'2" - 5'4"
135 - 150
140 - 150
5'4" - 5'6"
145 - 160
145 - 155
5'6" - 5'8"
155 - 170
150 -160
5'8" - 5'10"
165 - 180
155 - 165
160 - 170
Additionally keep in mind:
- For a park or freestyle board you should err on the shorter side. Shorter snowboard = easier to spin.
- Beginners should also look at boards that are on the shorter side, they will be easier to maneuver.
- All mountain and freeride boards you should go longer. Longer snowboard = higher speed and better float.
- For all of those little up and comers you should also consider that they are still growing, so buying a bigger snowboard here is OK as long as it is not too big.
Snowboard Width
The second measurement to make is width. For the most part, snowboards are just in two categories of width, standard and wide.
- Standard width is anything under U.S. size 11.
- Wide is basically anything over an U.S. 11 - 11.5 shoe size. The idea is that you do not want too much of your toe and heel to be overhanging the profile of the snowboard itself.
- Keep in mind that women's and children's boards do run a bit narrower and don't often have wide options, so women and children with bigger shoe sizes should consider going to a men's board.
Snowboard Flex
Having already made a decision about whether you are a park, freestyle, freeride, or big mountain rider, you have narrowed the decision of flex. But of course within one category you can find many different flexes. Keep in mind two main ideas:
- A softer flex is going to be more forgiving which is good at the beginner level. This also makes for a board that can be manipulated easily by the rider which is good in the park.
- A stiffer board is going to handle speed much better. At high speeds there are much higher forces acting on the board.
Camber or Rocker or Flat or Early Rise or What Ever You Call It
Right now in snowboarding it is an exciting time when it comes to shape. For a long time the "traditional" camber was king. In the last five years there has be a revolution in the design and engineering of snowboards. The diagram below shows the basic differences between these shapes.
You may ask which is best, but right now there is no clear answer and you can find all of these shapes, as well as combinations of them, in every category of board.
- Snowboards with "Rocker" or "Reverse Camber" make for a very playful and forgiving ride. The tip and tail of the snowboard come up off the snow closer to your feet so there is less material to catch your edge on.
- Traditional Camber makes for a very stable platform which is great at high speeds.
- Zero Camber offers stability as well as a playful feel.
If you are not confused enough on the subject you may want to read our quick guide to "How The Snowboard Bends."
Core Profile
In addition to camber there are three main different core profiles. Each does something slightly different.
- Directional means that the board is built stiffer in the tail than in the nose. The side cut is also set back on the snowboard. These are for people that primarily ride one direction (little to no switch stance riding).
- Directional twin is when the core of the board is directional but the side cut is twin (centered on the board and the same front and back). This is for riders that favor the front foot but often ride switch.
- Twin is when both the core and the side cut is the same front and back. This makes the snowboard preform the same in either direction. It is great when you are doing a lot of switch ride especially in the park doing tricks.
Hole Patterns
Before you make your final decision you do need to be sure that your bindings will be compatible. Most snowboards will have one of four hole patterns.
There are snowboard bindings that will offer mounting plates that make them compatible with different hole patterns but not all have that ability please be aware of it.
Your Budget
Hey the economy is tough but physical activity is a great way to release stress. You don't have to have the latest and greatest snowboarding equipment to become a good snowboarder and enjoy the sport, but you should have the RIGHT equipment. Make sure fit and sizing are appropriate for you. If you are going to put a few more bucks into something, put it towards the boots. The boot is the one piece of snowboarding equipment that actually touches your body, so make sure it fits right and is the proper performance level. The right boot will lead to days, weeks, months, and even years worth of great riding.
Snowboard Graphics
Let's be honest, we all got to look good out there. Make sure your investment is something you like to look at, because if you don't look good we don't look good. Remmeber if you cannot afford a new board you could always toss some new stickers on the old board to freshen it up a bit.
There is a lot to consider when buying a new snowboard. We have laid out a basic guide, but it is only a guide. Please remember that these are just "rules of thumb" and there are always exceptions to the rule. We hope this guide helped you narrow things down. As always, you can give Eternal's staff of seasoned snowboarders a call at 800.838.3762 or email our Customer Service Department. We are always here to help you get on the snow and start shredding.

Green Thumb: Society honors rose royalty
Several flower shows and garden-related events vie for our attention this weekend.
Three different flower shows are taking place at the Memphis Botanic Garden and nearby Dixon Gallery and Gardens.
You are sure to feel rose envy at the Memphis & Dixie Rose Society's show, which is open for viewing from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday and from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens. Admission to the show is free.
Even though most roses bloomed about a month early, you will still see plenty of blooms plucked from the gardens of serious rosarians from the Memphis area and the region.
The rose most favored by the judges will be named Queen. She will be joined by the King and Princess in the show's "court of honor."
This year, the rose society is encouraging all rose lovers, whether they are members or not, to enter their blooms in the novice category.
"The easiest way to do it is to float a rose in a bowl of water, which we provide," said society president Brad Dantone.
Novice competitors need to know the name of the rose they are entering. Stems should be straight and long with foliage that appears to be free of insects and disease.
The bloom should be an outstanding example of the variety with typical color, form and as many or more petals as the average specimen.
Youngsters are also encouraged to enter their roses in a children's competition in which every entry will be awarded a blue ribbon.
Entries can be brought to the Winegardner Auditorium at the Dixon between 7 and 11 a.m. Saturday.
This year's show is dedicated to Emelia Miekicki, who serves as the co-editor of the society's newsletter but does much more.
"Emelia is a caring, unselfish person who puts others first," Dantone said. "This gives us a chance to honor her and her work for the society."
Members of Designing Women, Miekicki's garden club, will honor her by creating floral arrangements featuring roses that will be displayed at the entrance to the show.
Orchids and cacti
Two societies will display their favorite plants at the Memphis Botanic Garden.
The Memphis Orchid Society's annual show is open for viewing from noon to 5 p.m. today; from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and from 11 to 4 p.m. Sunday.
The sales area, featuring orchid plants and supplies for growing them, is open during those times and from 9 a.m. to noon today.
More than 325 entries from five regional orchid societies and five professional grower-vendors will be on display.
Orchidaceae, the largest family of flowering plants, includes about 1,000 genera, 25,000 species and 100,000 hybrids.
They range from plants that produce hundreds of tiny flowers to those with elegant giants and everything in between.
Some orchids are easy enough for beginners to grow without a greenhouse. Orchid Society members and vendors will give attendees the tips they need to be successful.
Members of the Memphis Cactus and Succulent Society invite the public to bring in their cacti and succulents to display in a show open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Lots of plants will be available to purchase.
"The purpose of our show is to expose the community to cactus and succulents," said society president Don Klotwog. "We're small, so we usually time our show to coincide with a bigger one, like the orchid show."
With a canopy of leafy green deciduous trees, abundant shrubbery and 50-inch annual rainfall average, no one could mistake Memphis for a desert.
But you need only check the "Almanac" on The Commercial Appeal's weather page to see that we are about 10 inches short of the normal average for rainfall this year.
Our traditionally rainy winter and spring weren't this year. And even though we aren't in an official drought, we expect summer to be dry.
So when we search for tough plants that don't need a lot of supplemental water, cacti and succulents are at the top of the list.
If you are interested in gardening with drought-tolerant plants, be sure to check out the desert garden planted on an inhospitable "island" in the parking lot near the Rick Pudwell Horticulture Center.
For more information about the show, the society or growing cacti in Memphis, call Klotwog at (901) 681-0700.
Garden Jumble Sale
Searching for treasures among other people's junk at garage and estate sales is a weekend tradition for many.
I'll be getting up early Saturday morning to go to the Garden Jumble Sale from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Shelby Showcase Arena at Agricenter International.
Memphis area master gardeners are selling "gently used" items, such as gardening tools, furniture, yard art, apparel, books and other odds and ends.
"And we'll be selling plants -- that's the best part," said Donna Flinn, co-chairwoman of the event along with Suzy Manley and Suzanne Douglass. "Our members have been dividing their plants, starting seeds and taking cuttings."
The group is also accepting donations of items for the sale from the public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today at Shelby Showplace Arena.
If you donate a few items, you don't have to feel guilty about buying more. That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it.
Questions or comments? E-mail Christine Arpe Gang at email@example.com, or call Lifestyles editor Peggy Reisser Winburne at (901) 529-2372.

Kenseth wins rain-shortened Daytona 500
AJ Allmendinger, who had to race his way into the field in one of Thursday's qualifiers, finished third.
Clint Bowyer was fourth, and Sadler was fifth, devastated he lost the lead moments before the rain stopped the race. He led 24 laps and was out front during an earlier caution, hoping the sky would open up at that moment to give him the win.
"That's just my luck," he radioed his crew. "It's raining on the radar and not on the track. Welcome to the team."
Sadler nearly lost his job in December, when team management decided to replace him with Allmendinger. He filed an injunction to stop the move, and the team changed its mind after merging with Petty Enterprises in early January.
A chance to win the 500 would have been sweet redemption for Sadler, who instead was left wondering what he did wrong.
"If I would have made a better and smarter move, I'd be in Victory Lane right now," he said. "I put my heart and soul to come in here to Daytona, Speedweeks, try to compete at the top of my game, 'cause I knew I had a lot of eyes on me to run good.
"It would have been cool to finish like that, but just wasn't meant to be. Very hard to swallow. Very emotional."
David Ragan was sixth and was followed by Michael Waltrip, Tony Stewart, Reed Sorenson and Kurt Busch.
Pole-sitter Martin Truex Jr. was 11th. Defending race winner Ryan Newman was 36th. Joey Logano, who at 18 was the youngest starter in race history, finished 43rd.
The racing picked up much earlier than usual, as most everyone knew it was really a race against the rain.
So it was no surprise when Dale Earnhardt Jr., frustrated by two pit-road mistakes that had dropped him a lap down, aggressively raced Brian Vickers for position on a restart just past the halfway mark.
Vickers blocked an attempted pass by pushing Earnhardt down below the yellow out-of-bounds line. When Earnhardt re-entered the racing surface, he clipped the left-rear corner of Vickers' car to trigger a nine-car accident.
"My goal is to keep Junior behind me," Vickers said. "I went to block him. I beat him to the yellow line and then he just turned us. To wreck somebody intentionally like that in front of the entire field is really kind of dangerous. That's my problem with it."
The accident knocked out Kyle Busch, who had led a race-high 88 laps and figured he was in position for the win.
"Some guys having some bad days and not doing their best out there, just made their bad day our bad day," Busch said. "It's just a shame. It's just unfortunate that two guys got together that were a lap down that were fighting over nothing."

South Africa in court over Pakistani's "rendition"
By Andrew Quinn
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – Deported on a chartered plane and
never heard from again.
Khaled Rashid's lawyers say his story mirrors that of other
suspects believed to have disappeared into secret prisons as
part of Washington's "war on terrorism."
But Rashid vanished in South Africa, where the
post-apartheid constitution provides some of the world's
strongest human rights guarantees and officials deny that there
was anything irregular about his case.
Now Rashid's lawyers have taken the government to court to
find out what happened to him, and whether South Africa is
cooperating with foreign security agencies in the "rendition,"
or kidnapping, of terror suspects for interrogation.
"Beyond a reasonable doubt this was a case of rendition,"
said Zahir Omar, one of the Rashid's family lawyers.
"Here is a man who was kidnapped, sent to a military base
and whisked away to who knows where. This is not the kind of
thing that happens in a democracy."
The Pretoria High Court this week forced South Africa's
Ministry of Home Affairs to divulge more about what happened to
Rashid following his arrest as an illegal alien in November.
But the answers have been patchy — spurring Omar to ask
the court to order the ministers of home affairs, security and
intelligence to answer direct questions on what happened to the
former supermarket worker.
The Rashid case comes as a European watchdog on Wednesday
released a report saying that 14 European countries colluded
with a "spider's web" of secret prisons and prisoner transfers
run by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.
The report, by the parliamentary assembly of the Council of
Europe, said both eastern and western European countries played
active or passive roles in the "rendition" program.
Washington says it acts with the knowledge of governments
concerned and acknowledges the secret transfer of some
terrorist suspects between countries, although it denies any
South Africa has not been formally implicated in the
program, but Rashid's lawyers say they believe it, too, is
cooperating with Washington.
Home Affairs officials said Rashid, who is about 34,
departed in an aircraft chartered by police on November 6. The
aircraft, registered in the United Arab Emirates, left from
Pretoria's Waterkloof airforce base and the ministry said it
had no details on where it eventually landed.
Ministry of Home Affairs spokesman Nkosana Sibuyi said
there was nothing irregular about Rashid's deportation, and
that as far as the ministry was concerned he was back in
"We deport close to 10,000 people per annum and they are
deported from different areas. There is nothing strange about
this," he said, adding the ministry had provided information on
the flight, as well as the Pakistani officials who were due to
receive Rashid.
Rudolph Jansen, national director for Lawyers for Human
Rights, said the government's response in the Rashid case
showed it was not a "bona fide deportation."
"In the world that we live in today it should not be
difficult for any government to show where they put people, in
South Africa or in Pakistan or wherever," Jansen said.
"The fact that they are skirting the very obvious issue of
where this guy makes one feel extremely uncomfortable."

Whether its Eagles, Wildcats or a team from "The City" that you're talking about in Indiana high school football, then it probably has to do with a conference title race.
Never before has it happened this late into the season. Three teams with a 7-1 record within Whitley County.
Look through your record books, check your statistics and bring together whatever past thoughts you might have and throw them out the window. The county is in the midst of its best combined football season ever.
The Indiana high school volleyball sectional pairings are out and for two Whitley County rivals, it starts off by getting a shot at each other.
Monday, the Indiana High School Athletic Association drew up the four-class brackets for 397 schools across 64 sectional sites.
The opening round of the tournament gets underway next week Oct. 19 through Oct. 23.
Two of the county's three high school teams will square off in the first round.
The Indiana high school football regular season comes to a close this week with all three Whitley County teams in contention for a conference title.
Sunday, those same squads had their paths drawn for the postseason that will follow Oct. 22.
Across five class divisions over 300 teams were placed into brackets that begin with three weeks of sectional play.
Among those teams were Columbia City, Churubusco and Whitko.
Columbia City's Sidney Bunyan lays out for a ball as teammates yell out. Columbia City traveled to the Whitko Invitational Saturday. The Lady Eagles fell in three pool play games (22-25, 21-25 to North Miami; 21-25, 14-25 to Prairie Heights; 22-25, 25-17, 7-15 to Garrett). The hosting Lady Wildcats also struggled, not advancing out of pool play. Whitko fell in three games (21-25, 15-25 to DeKalb; 25-27, 18-25 to Heritage; 9-25, 25-21, 11-15 to West Noble).

A little bit about us, to read out full bios, click the link to expand.
A three time National Karate Champion and Black Belt Hall of Fame inductee, Gregg first used massage to prevent personal injury. After becoming licensed in FL, Gregg worked at the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island, eventually become corporate trainer to spas in Naples, Montego Bay, and others.
Gregg has worked with professional athletes, royalty, and famous actors and actresses. Upon receiving his certification from the Rolf Institute in Boulder, CO, Gregg moved back to NH to share his expertise. Recently his area of interest is in Low Level Laser Therapy, Percussion Therapy, and SourcePoint Therapy ®.
We offer a wide array of services to best provide for our clients.
While there are a number of massages that people tend to enjoy, what we offer is a one-of-a-kind hybrid known as the Structural Balancing Massage Therapy. Structural Massage Balancing Therapy is a hybrid of the Rolfing Structural Integration, Neuromuscular Massage, Trigger point therapy, Swedish and Deep Tissue Therapies.
We believe that mind is the body so we promise an environment where you can clear your mind by focusing on relaxing your muscles and body.
Rolfing® Massage is a form of contemporary bodywork that we recommend, primarily to improve alignment of body segments to ease stress, manage pain and improve sports performance. Rolfing® uses manipulation techniques through the application of pressure with fingers and knuckles to heal the human body and soul.
The main focus of Rolfing® is healing and balancing of the connective tissues.
Low level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy is a low intensity photonic energy that is a laser treatment used for relieving pain caused by the occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, neuropathy and pain in the neck and joints. The low level laser light used in this therapy is safe and does not cause any damage.
LLLT can help with chronic pain and inflammation of the nerves among other ailments.
The percussor is a therapeutic mechanical hand-held adjustment device that provides percussion therapy to break up tissue and put it back in its place. It works smoothly to free connective tissue and the deep fascia that causes pain without causing pain to the client. It allows the body to respond quickly to the movement of tissues.
The percussor provides immediate relief and helps in reducing chronic pain caused by fascial restrictions and scar tissue.
Source Point Therapy® is a non-invasive approach of therapeutic intervention in which we use body scanning skills to find blockages of energy in the human field in order to reorder and balance the energies of the physical self. The focus of this therapy is providing physical and emotional healing as well as managing stress.
Source Point Therapy® recognizes human energy and physical existence of human body as a vital aspect that helps restore the health of the body.

I LOVE this palette. The colors are really beautiful and flattering for my skin tone, and there's a good balance of matte and shimmery shades. The shadows themselves are really nice; they go on well, blend easily, and have great staying power. I whole-heartedly recommend these to anyone looking for a natural eyeshadow palette.

Oh wow! They've already changed the packaging for these! I might end up buying a new one, because I just loved this one so much. I ended up buying, Romanic, Natural n NIght, and the Smokey eye palette, but the Natural eye palette was the best for everyday in my opinion.
I used every last swipe of "honeypot", " Push up", : Coco Puff", and "Silk Teddy". I hit pan with the other colors. This has to be my most loved and used eyeshadow product, but I think I bought it back in 2010 or 2012. I can't remember now, but this palette is so awesome.
The packaging is super cute, and it comes with little tutorial cards for different looks, which I thought was helpful. And I thought this collection was neat, because it came with a little brush, of course I used my own brush, but still that was a sweet touch.

I like this product. I guess. It's a little mediocre for me. It's similar to the Naked palette, but there is less choices and the colors don't mix as well with each other.The packaging is super cute though!

Stahpppp. I wish this had gotten as much hype as the naked palette did - I would've gotten this instead of Naked 2 and been way happier. This palette is my HG ride or die. I have the new palette (new packaging and a matte nude instead of the glittery nude in the last one).
Quality: Amazing. Just omg. The shade Erotica's base is slightly sheer, but it doesn't bother me. Otherwise, it doesn't get better than this.
Packaging: Super cute. I have the new packaging, as aforementioned. The magnetic closure is satisfying and secure. I also love that the two highlight shades and main transition shades of the palette are larger pans! It just makes sense and I have dents in all 3, proving this was a sound decision of TF.
For reference, I have NC25 skin with dark hair and dark eyes with some olive properties. Going to reference some of UD's shadows because that's what I have experience with.
Largely neutral to warm palette.
Heaven - matte white that is creamy and not stark at all. Shows up on my skin nicely.
Silk Teddy - looks pinky in the pan but just shows up a super flattering and neutral champagne color on me. Urban Decay's Sin showed up straight up pink on my skin so I was really glad this worked.
Nudie - my perfect natural crease shade. Basically UD's Naked but just a little more cool.
Cashmere bunny - a brown with slightly purple-y undertones that is reminiscent of UD's Tease, but warmer and less purple.
Push Up - a rosy toned gold (think of it as a copper shade but way less intense, more golden, and more wearable). Like UD's Toasted but a bit less rosy, more neutral. A refined metallic finish that isn't super light reflective in a dumb looking way, but nice and flattering.
Honey Pot - gold. Like UD's Half Baked but just a touch (barely noticably) less yellow and vibrant.
Sexpresso - I find this to be a cool, deep brown. I use this as liner.
Erotica - hard to describe. A somewhat sheer, plummy-grey base with pronounced gold shimmer throughout.
Chocolate Martini - a really pretty medium, warm brown base with pronounced gold shimmer. Super blendable. I use it in the outer V.
As you can see, there are some similarities to the UD Naked palette. Owning both may be a bit redundant but I find this palette to be more refined in shadow consistency (less sparkly) and color (shades are more neutral [to warm] and not bouncing from extremely cool, to extremely warm, and back to cool again and generally just flattering on my skin). It's also got more matte options.
Such a great neutrals palette that deserves every rave it gets, the packaging is small, cute, and pragmatic, and the price is right. Super natural, all matte or shimmer looks are achievable and even dramatic looks are too so it's very versatile.

I love this palette! I am such a sucker for nudes, and this does not disappoint! Good variation in warms and cools, and while they seem to swatch really sparkly, they're not overly glittery when worn. The packaging is nice, although it could do with a physical latch as well as a magnet.

I recently purchased this palette and have used it every day since. I typically wear neutrals on a daily basis and these shadows provide a lot of options for me. There are 9 shadows which are placed in 3 rows within the palette. TF includes an instruction sheet which shows how to create 3 unique looks (each row of shadows creates a different look) which is really easy to follow. I prefer to mix and match the colors on my own but think the concept is cute and might be helpful for beginners or those looking for a quick fool proof look.
The shadows are soft, easy to blend and nicely pigmented. I think my naked palette from UD is slightly more pigmented for comparison, but these shadows still last all day on my lids without primer. I personally don't care for an all shimmery or all matte look/palette,so this set fits me perfectly as there are 4 matte and 5 shimmery shades to work with. The packaging is adorable and the metal case feels durable with it's magnetic closure. I liked this palette so much that I bought 2 additional as gifts for friends.

I love these colors! I was obsessed with the chocolate martini color, which that color alone was why I bought the palette. I love the mix of matte and sparkle eyeshadow and the pigment in this palette is amazing I'm in love with all of the colors. I was so impressed that this palette can create so many looks and I would definitely buy this again if I run out. I actually prefer this palette over my Urban Decay Nude 2 palette. The only problem I have with this palette is the packaging. The container that it comes in seems very flimsy and not very secure, like it won't stay closed, and if that's how I feel after just buying it, I'm nervous to see how it will hold up. But aside from the packaging I love love love this palette and all the colors in it.

I love this eye-shadow palette for my small hooded eyes. It gives you a variety of different, pigmented shadows that can be built up together or all worn alone as single shades. Fallout is non-existent, shades are very rich in color and glide on smoothly. Great, versatile shades that even includes instructions on three different looks on small note cards in the box.
Downsides: Huge, clunky packaging. They could scale back all of the cardboard and make it half the width for a slimmer effect. I hate carrying this around in my makeup bag because it is so bulky.

I've been going to physical therapy all summer (about 16 sessions) where they've been working on my Iliotibial Band (ITBand). This is connective tissue that runs from your hip across the outside of the knee.
For me, I have pain or weakness in the middle of my thigh and right under my hipbone.
I got to choose which physical therapist to see and I picked Bodymax because they did physical therapy and sports conditioning and training – I knew I needed help with my running form.
For treatment, they use deep tissue massage to release any scar tissue which can cause tightness as it attaches to the underlying bones and muscles. This "massage" can hurt – a lot. They then use ultrasound on the sore spots which brings blood and oxygen to the inflammation.
After the treatment, they would bring me downstairs and put me on the treadmill to work on my running form.
I worked up to running about 10 miles an hour at a 8% grade (but I only had to run that for 30 seconds or so). The therapists and trainers there were excellent and my form and leg are much improved.
On with the training!

I am excited to here you had a good experience with physical therapy and better yet…you were able to continue your training.
However, I wanted to clear up some misconceptions. Unfortunately, ultrasound is a commonly overused modality that has been no more effective than a placebo treatment in research. A better way to get increased blood flow to an area to facilitate healing is with an active exercise. This willing increase blood flow and provide the nutrients, primarily oxygen, to the injured tissues.
On another note, please focus on training you gluteus medius. This glute muscles is featured on you nice pic at the start of this blog. If the glute med is weak, the tensor fasica latae is overworked causing increased tension in the iliotibial band. The is often resolved temporarily with stretching and permanently by re-establishing proper muscle balance.
Again, I'm glad you had a good experience with physical therapy. I love my profession and like to see happy customers.

The deep hand-warming pockets are worked along with the body, then a lining is added and whipstitched to the inside. THe high collar can be folded down or left standing. Big bright buttons are an essetnial accent that offer practical closure.
