These poles are wonderfully light, especially when compared to traditional poles weighing 200% more. However, I found their light weight comes with two distinct disadvantages. First, the weight-saving absence of a wrist strap is a significant sacrifice. My hands are more relaxed throughout the day when using poles with straps since I don't always need to grip them. Also, the poles are more at-the-ready for unexpected balancing needs when the strap is on properly. On a recent 4000 foot descent of Mt. Madison, it was better to palm the top of the handle than to grasp the grip. While the handle was made for just that effort, it became tiring after the first 1000 feet and I wished I had the straps as an alternative. As a consequence, I ended up carrying the poles from time to time instead of using them (a feat made easy by their light weight). A strap option on the pole would go along way to improving their usefulness. Second, they are not as useful in windy conditions. I recently experienced 25 to 50 MPH winds in the Presidential Range of NH above treeline and found the wind made accurate placement of the pole tip challenging since the poles are so light. At times it was better not to rely on them than to mistakenly commit my weight to an uncertain pole tip landing. Friends with normal-weight poles didn't experience this. Perhaps I should have looked for a temporary way to weight them down while I was in windy conditions. These are really light poles, but because of my experience, I am undecided if I would bring them on another hike or just do without any poles. What I do know for sure is that I'm not going back to 22 ounce poles.

I absolutely love these poles. For me, these are an "American Express" piece of gear, i.e. "Don't leave home without" them. A sheer joy to use. They're so light that, at brief rehydration rest stops, it's easy to forget that they are hanging by keeper straps (not to be confused with wrist straps) from your wrists.Their light weight allows precise pole placement (haven't experienced the "wind" issue of a prev. reviewer, but can see how a very strong wind could affect these poles). They have, perhaps, only one-half of the flex of the original LightTrek poles - a plus for many who found the extreme flex of the original poles disconcerting (after a couple of hours use, this was not an issue for me with the original poles). The lightweight, furthermore, allows for a very relaxed grip on the up/fwd swing of each pole which contributes greatly to reduced grip.forearm fatigue, making wrist straps largely unecessary - again, this feature, or lack thereof, in this case, takes just a little gettin' used to. If someone does have some type of a carpal tunnel issue, then these poles may not be for you - you prob. need wrist straps.I'm sure that, with a little ingenuity, these poles could be retrofitted with some wrist straps (Bill Fornshell, do you copy? Over.).Fragile??? With proper use, they are not fragile. Have over 400 miles on my original poles, ~30 miles on the "Plus" poles. Have never broken a pole. Any pole will break (or bend/yield - depending upon the mat'l used in construction) if the the pole tip is jammed b/t rocks and the pole is "levered" against the rock. The light wt. of these poles allows one to "feel" when the poles are jammed b/t rocks far easier than 17-22oz poles. This gives me a chance to pull the pole out instead of "levering" it. So, I've found it less likely that I will break one of these poles when I jam them b/t rocks (I have bent/broke several Titanal poles this way).At ~2.7oz each w/trekking baskets, they have no competition. An added plus for me is that at 115cm, they are the perfect length for pitching quite a few number of shelters which use trekking poles for support.I generally don't like to give out a perfect score, and I would probably have given these poles a 4.5 or 4.75 if fractional scores were possible. Hey...there's always room for improvement, right?!! But,... for right now, I believe that they are a 5. They deliver what they promise, and then some. I can actually be pretty "nit-picky" - at times even "majoring in the minors", but as far as my use of these poles go, I have zero complaints. oh...and the price...as light on your wallet as the poles are in your hands - once again, no competition.

I just used the Lightreks on a hike ending up on Mt. Langley.Old Army Pass was obliterated by boulders in several sections and I put full trust in the poles leveraging my way up and back.I loved the lightness--and wind on Langley was maybe gusting at 30+--I had no problems. I used a loop of lightweight "twine" connected to the base of each handle---only so that I could easily secure the poles while taking pictures or drinking water, etc.I had used adjustable poles prior to the Lightreks with straps--now instead of fiddling with adjustments--I simply moved my hand from the base of the handles to palming the tops--and I have found that I like the fact there are no straps to get in the way (as I mentioned I do use the "twine" but only for securing the poles when taking picutres, etc.)They will be an integral part of my equipment.
By rights, I should be using BMW's Stix on some of the terrain I've been using my Lightrek poles on.Talus and scree strewn, marmot hole ridden off trailSierra terrain. But, so far ---no breakage. Using the stock baskets is key to this. I love their almost non-existent weight and the lack of force-bearing straps is a non issue ( I do have spectra cord loops for loss prevention ). They are most valuable for me in preserving my knees on long,steep descents. Lovely for tarp and tarptent poles, as well.

After a bit over 1000 miles without incident. I agree with all comments above. These poles are very comfortable, very light, and an excellent value.-Mark
I only have 3 trips with the GG Lightrek poles thus far. The poles have proven excellent in every regard. They are stiff enough to support me (oh, about 200 pounds) on rocky terrain. As tarp poles, I especially like how the surface of the LT pole is just rough enough to provide a good grip to a guyline. Guylines haven't slipped even in a thunderstorm. The poles' lightness is really amazing. The service at Gossamer Gear is excellent. One of my poles lost its tip on the first outing. The company's new president responded immediately to my e-mail. GG shipped a replacement/swap pole within days. GG continues to be a great company to deal with.--Update 2/13/2007--Now I have a years' use with these poles on a variety of terrain - summiting a 14er in Colorado and trails in NM, AR, OK. The Lightrek Plus poles are a favorite part of my kit. Since the replacement of that initial pole I've had no problems whatsoever. The light weight of these poles means I just don't think about them. Weighing 200 pounds or so I have placed a fair shock on the poles several times. They do not show signs of wear. I no longer use the baskets.These poles have also excelled in use with different tarp configurations. The roughness of the surface has held guylines without slipping. The poles have survived high winds just fine.Finally, the one piece configuration requires some planning for travel. I've packed them as luggage for a flight one time using the tube from GG. That turned out to be a pain as the airline explained that round tubes don't work well with baggage equipment. The result was a delayed arrival for my poles. It would be easier to send them by UPS or mail than to check them as baggage.

Straightforward: Use them if you want the lightest. However, I keep going for my REI UL 3-section carbon fiber poles. Even at three times the weight, and with occasional twist-lock slippage, the ability to transport the REI UL's collapsed to pack height through brush or in vehicles is too important. Even more so since my Lightreks are sized for my 6'3.5" height. Also, when strapped to a pack in the open, the long Lightreks catch the wind and tug a bit. Since I only use them intermittently with light and ultralight set-ups, this is how they are frequently deployed.The one situation where I'm still most likely to go for the Lightreks is in snow. When the shaft is slippery, and the basket is getting planted and torqued in snow, the slippage problem with the collapsibles begins to outweigh the convenience of collapsibility. Then the choice hinges on expected brush density.Otherwise, the Lightreks are fine, more flex, no damage, light enough to be blown around in heavy wind as others have noted.

Same as Phil Barton above. The tip broke off on the first day. I returned the pole, it was repaired at no cost and a spare basket and extra tip was also included. I had lost a basket as well as the tip after only a few miles. In fairness, the AT in NY/NJ where I was hiking is very rocky and the rocks are jagged and sharp often. The extreme metal tip is worn almost half way down, much like a Leki pole I own with many more miles.The fitting for the Leki poles is slightly different than these from G.There is a gap in the Leki's between the end of the threads and the pole itself. The threads on the Leki are more like those reverse threads on PCV pipe connectors. So once on the pole, the baskets can turn without loosening. If the baskets on the G. poles turn they will work down the thread or loosen. I have tried using rubber cement to see if that helps, because I really do like these poles. You will not appreciate how light they are until you have used them for awhile and then go back to using your old ones! The poles are strong and after 150 miles of rocks, the one I did use is scratched up a bit, but otherwise fine. The handles are comfortable. I did not miss the straps.

I had just acquired a pair of these poles last week and set out over the weekend for an over-nighter to try them out. Unfortunately, about 40 minutes into the hike the tip broke off of one pole, just above where the basket attaches. I continued my hike with the one good pole and the other broke off stump pole. The following day mid way through my return hike, the other tip broke off in the exact same way. I was not doing anything extreme or out of the ordinary during this hike. OK, for some more positive comments: I really want to like these poles! They are a pleasure to hike with (when whole), and I do not miss the wrist straps at all. One thing I did not anticipate was how quiet these guys are. The flexible carbon fiber shafts absorbs all shock and the difference in noise level compared to a hiking companion who had some aluminum poles was striking. I am encouraged by other reviews where they had poles replaced after this breakage and the issues did not recur. Perhaps there was a defective batch? I have just returned mine to GG and will continue to evaluate the replacement poles. GG as a company is an absolute pleasure to deal with and I will give this product every possible chance. I'll post an update after spending more time with the new poles.Update: I have the replaced poles now, and have taken them out on 2 hikes so far. No issues to report, other than the basket came off one pole during my hike, but fortunately I caught it and was able to screw it back on. I'll definitely need to find a better way to affix those. I've raised my rating to a 4 while I evaluate longer term reliability.

I had the same experience with the Gossamer Lightreck Plus poles as others, with the tips breaking off. Replacements were promtly sent and I have not had probems since. It can pose an interesting probem if the poles are also used for a shelter support.
I agree with a variety of the comments above. These poles are super-light, very easy to flick around for quick placements, and absorb shock quite nicely. While I broke a couple of the earliest Lightrek poles, the newer generation (Lightrek Plus) has been quite durable, even surviving some serious falls. The multi-position grips are awesome (see my review here on the site). They are also priced very fairly. Highly recommended!On the downside, they use Leki-style tips but not actual Leki tips. The baskets don't screw into a non-threaded area like the actual Leki tips which means that they can uncrew while hiking, especially when using snow baskets. This is annoying and I did lose a basket once. Also, the breakaway tips break away a tad too easily- like the reviewer above, I also broke a tip. I replaced both of them with actual Leki tips which seem to be much more durable (although I've broken a Leki tip in the past as well.) If the Lightrek Poles came with Leki tips, it would be an instant 5. Re: Fixed length poles. Sure, they are harder to transport and a pain to carry when scrambling but they disappear in your hands, never rattle, and absorb shock over the entire length of the pole- serious positives. If you use poles full-time like I do, I think you'll find adapting to fixed length poles very easy. Happy walking!

A slippery rock put sudden (but not total) weight on one of these poles. The shaft simply shattered where other, stronger poles would not. Bad spot. Scary moment. Maybe the engineering works for younger, lighter, shorter folks. Love the weight but just can't rely on these poles any more.Maybe there should be a category for boomers like me who need to up the safety margins a bit. On the other end of the spectrum I'm not sure I would specify these for a really rigorous expedition.
During my 2004 PCT hike on into 2006 I had seen a few sets of carbon fiber trekking poles on the trail but had immediately discounted them after hearing stories of carbon poles snapping like twigs and I just personally felt that carbon poles would not hold up to the use & abuse a thru-hiker would put on them during a multi-month hike. After 500+ miles of testing with the 6 oz. Gossamer Gear Lightreks, I am not only a convert to carbon fiber poles, but they are currently my favorite piece of gear! These poles are amazing!I´ve got a full review on the 125 cm Lightreks I´ve been using posted here:http://www.filebox.vt.edu/users/lgrinter/Lightrek.htmHasta luego,firstname.lastname@example.com
Five of us just returned from a 6 day, 90 mile hike on the John Muir Trail this past week. All of us had been using typical so-called light weight adjustable alum. poles in the past but we all decided to use the new GG carbon poles on this light and fast hike. I can't imagine a tougher test then our hike to subject a pole to! Rocks, boulders, stream crossings, flying down jagged rock covered passes at an amazing pace and not a single problem with any of the 5 sets of poles. The terrain was so tough that I completely wore out a brand new pair of ROClite 320 shoes in just 6 days! We all carry a small amount of duct tape on our poles for emergency use and wrapped the tape directly under the grips. We all ended up adding small and very light loops "Straps" that were held on by the duct tape. The straps are very handy when you want to let go of the poles to take a quick picture or reach for a water bottle without having to stop and set the poles down. 2 in the group used the staps while hiking and 3 of us felt that the poles were so light and easy to move around that the straps really wern't needed while hiking. So easy to add straps that I can't see why anyone would complain that they don't come with straps. Personal choice I guess. I'm sold on these poles and think it is one of the most important items of gear I own and use! Thanks GG.

I love my GG poles. After a year of fiddling with the REI UL carbon sectioned poles that won't lock I got my fixed poles and they are perfect for me. I do not miss the wrist straps at all. Love the grips. I never mounted the baskets and rarely miss them. And I rarely miss the ability to collapse and stow the poles. My poles have gone backpacking a few times and have now summited many of Colorado's high 13 & 14K' peaks. I am so addicted to them I constructed an ABS shipping tube so I could transport them to Europe for our just-completed 100 mile Tour du Mont Blanc. It's just icing on the cake that they are the right length to use with my TarpTent!
Good God these poles are light! Strong too. No problems for me whatsoever so I'll just address some of the issues noted above.No Straps. My wife likes to have straps too so I took the straps off some old Wal-Mart poles and attached them to her Lightreks with nylon cable ties. Works fine for her.Can't hold the weight of aging boomers. Noted. The cheapest adjustment one can make for ultralight hiking is losing weight. I went from obese to less-than-I-weighed-in-10th-grade (dropped 65lb). Not easy, but the incentive (not breaking the most phenomenally light poles ever) helps.

Generally, catharsis can be described as the venting of aggressive energy in a socially acceptable way. Brad Bushman, Craig Anderson, and others are thought to have put this idea to rest a long time ago. However, they continue to add nails to the coffin, presumably, as Wray Herbert asserts, because catharsis is still widely believed to work. Wray Herbert recently wrote a post in response to the California Supreme Court's decision that banning sales of violent video games to children was unconstitutional. In it, he describes some of the latest work coming from Bushman and his colleagues. The research indicates that those that believe in catharsis gravitate toward violent video games. This is yet another attempt to demonize both the idea of catharsis and violent video games, as Bushman and his colleagues seem so constantly eager to do. It is interesting that they show that belief in catharsis (an individual difference) leads to choosing violent video games, because it seems that much of the research on the topic tends to minimize the role of individual differences. However, violent video games are not the issue here. The issue at hand is the idea of catharsis.
While I have not done a exhaustive review of catharsis research, I am quite versed with the literature. Given the specific definition of catharsis as operationalized by certain researchers, one could conclude that catharsis does not work and may actually increase aggression. However, their definitions do not always align with more casual definitions of catharsis. Furthermore, the timeline of aggression reduction and the role of individual differences are often minimized; due to space constraints, I can give only a couple of examples. As for the issue of the type of catharsis being researched, many times the venting acts involve direct aggression towards an offending party as opposed to indirect aggression (e.g., hitting a pillow). In regards to the timeline, the "increased" aggression witnessed, in many studies, shortly follows the cathartic behavior. Indeed, it seems that for catharsis to work, an individual would need to be removed from the offending situation. Moreover, these studies should investigate the longer term health benefits to release (i.e., reduction in blood pressure). Finally, like most of the research involving violent video games, many catharsis experiments either fail to control for individual differences in tendencies towards violence and aggression, or simply minimize the role of this factor. All of this is beside the issues of ecological validity and meaningful effect sizes.
Additionally, not all researchers fail to find positive effects of catharsis. For example, Murray and Feshbach (1978) found that aggressive movements led to a decrease in aggressive fantasy, while non-aggressive movements did not. Future studies should re-investigate this study using more contemporary methods (i.e., video games). In any case, for me, the jury is still out on the case of catharsis.
Author's note: Depending on age, I do not believe children should be exposed to violent video games.

Metro Vancouver incineration plan gets boost from European experts
Metro Vancouver mayors say they're confident their controversial strategy to incinerate more garbage for power is the right one after seeking advice from European experts.
The regional district hosted a forum July 22 that featured British and Dutch experts who warned that cheap landfilling is the main barrier to much higher recycling rates, not incineration.
Both countries make considerable use of waste-to-energy plants.
Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the Europeans cautioned against building too much incineration capacity – Metro has already reduced the size of its planned new plant from 500,000 tonnes per year to 370,000.
And he said the key takeaway was not to believe the "magic" claims of proponents of material recovery facilities, which are highly automated sorting centres that extract recyclables from garbage.
"It's mythical, they said it doesn't work, it destroys the recyclables so they're not useful and the product at the end from the organics is useless," Corrigan told Metro's board Friday.
"That's where the Netherlands and Britain reinforced what we already knew," added Metro board chair Greg Moore.
Belkorp Environmental wants to build a mixed-waste material recovery facility (MRF) in Coquitlam and argues Metro might not have to build a new incinerator if enough paper, plastic and other recyclables can be extracted.
Metro's Bylaw 280 – which is still awaiting approval by the province – would allow very limited use of MRFs to sort garbage from apartment buildings that don't have adequate recycling facilities.
The bylaw has been opposed by various business groups and the Fraser Valley Regional District, which says it will embrace MRFs.
Belkorp vice-president Russ Black argues firms like his should get a chance to extract recyclables from garbage before it's landfilled or incinerated, as a final pass to reduce waste.
"There's no risk to Metro Vancouver or the public with respect to giving these things an opportunity to work," he said.
But Moore says approving broad use of MRFs would be a step backwards, unraveling 25 years of public education to convince residents to separate their recyclables, rather than throwing everything in one garbage bin.
Black insists the real issue is Metro's pursuit of waste-to-energy.
"Mixed-waste material recovery facilities compete with incineration. They're after the same feedstocks."
He also questioned the objectivity of Metro's forum, calling the Dutch expert an advocate of incineration.
"It was just a promotion exercise," Black said.
Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer said it would have been more prudent to also invite experts from a country like Denmark, which she said has recently turned back from a heavy emphasis on incineration in pursuit of better recycling rates.
"We should be looking at a spectrum of experts," she said.

|Boone Police Urge Residents to Lock Car Doors
|Written by Adam Hicks
|Wednesday, 27 May 2009 09:15
After nearly a dozen vehicle owners in the Kellwood Community found their cars had been broken into over the weekend, the Boone Police Department is urging residents to lock their vehicles and take a few other precautions to keep from becoming a victim.
Detective Glen Kornhauser of the Boone Police Department said besides locking your car door, keeping personal items put away can help deter a potential thief. Kornhauser explained having valuable items and accessories in the seat or floorboard may entice someone to break into your vehicle.
Kornhauser also said parking in a highly visible location makes your vehicle a tougher target for thieves.
Marking your belongings with your drivers license number and writing down serial numbers for valuables also increases the likelihood authorities will be able to recover them if they are stolen.
Kornhauser will appear on your favorite High Country Radio station tomorrow morning to talk about vehicular larcenies and to give you other tips on how to protect your belongings.

John Rowe says comprehensive federal legislation more cost-effective than EPA regulation or piecemeal approach
CHICAGO -- As the United States continues to move toward legislative or regulatory action on climate change, Exelon Chairman and CEO John W. Rowe said Saturday that not all approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions are equal. In a keynote address at the MIT Energy Conference in Boston, Rowe emphasized that legislation that puts a price on greenhouse gas emissions remains the best way to transition to a low-carbon future because of the environmental, economic, consumer and job creation benefits it delivers.
"We are moving inexorably toward a low-carbon society but in unproductive and uneconomic fits and starts," said Rowe. "Approaches that put a price on carbon emissions, such as cap-and-trade, remain the only solutions to our energy and climate challenges that give us cleaner, more secure energy while minimizing the costs to consumers and putting more people to work."
Rowe said legislation pricing carbon emissions is critical because it is the least expensive option for addressing climate change. The alternatives – piecemeal approaches such as renewable standards, subsidies, or regulation by the Environmental Protection Agency – don't provide the same benefits.
"EPA regulation is looming. There are 27 separate regulatory actions in seven major categories the EPA could take affecting the utility industry in the next seven years related to carbon and other pollutants," said Rowe. "Even if only half of them come to fruition, the impact on carbon-intensive forms of electricity will be significant. Make no mistake – we are acting on climate in one way or another, and we should do it in the cheapest way possible."
Carbon pricing methods such as cap-and-trade not only encourage low-carbon investments and can include protections to avoid sharp cost increases to consumers, but they also can create jobs.
"Harnessing the power of markets to find the most efficient solutions is how our economy has created jobs for decades," said Rowe. "And they aren't public works jobs that exist only as long as the subsidies flow – they are lasting jobs that will be here in the long-run."
Chicago-based Exelon, one of the nation's largest electric utilities, is not waiting for legislation or regulation to act. The company is actively addressing climate change through Exelon 2020, an environmental and business strategy to reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year by 2020. In April 2009, Exelon announced that it had reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by more than 35 percent from 2001 to 2008.
Rowe is the electricity industry's longest-serving chief executive, with 26 years as a utility CEO. Rowe was among the first CEOs in the industry to focus on climate change, first testifying before Congress on the potential effects of carbon emissions in 1992. He currently serves as co-chair of the bipartisan National Commission on Energy Policy, and previously chaired the Edison Electric Institute and the Nuclear Energy Institute.
Rowe's speech was part of the annual MIT Energy Conference that explores solutions for the world's most pressing energy challenges. Presenters included Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-New Mexico); Susan Hockfield, president of MIT; and Nobua Tanaka, executive director of the International Energy Agency.
Rowe's prepared remarks are available on the Exelon Web site at: www.exeloncorp.com/aboutus/speakersbureau.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

These reviews are written by independent automotive journalists providing an objective
and reliable assessment to help you make a smart buying decision. 2013 Nissan Pathfinder.
Reviewed By: Tony Swan
© 2013 NewCarTestDrive.com
As a result, the transition to the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder, generation four, is a major course change for this most persistently popular of all Nissan SUVs. The third generation was conceived for the possibility, however remote, of serious off-road use, hence lots of ground clearance and body-on-frame construction, a prescription for enduring the pounding that goes with rugged terrain.
Generation four represents an about-face. Concluding that the large SUV segment is increasingly composed of buyers whose priorities don't include off-road adventure, Nissan has retuned the 2013 Pathfinder around family values: roominess, comfort, and, paramount among today's vehicle attributes, fuel economy.
The result is that the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder is bigger than the gen three Pathfinder, with more room, sharply reduced curb weights, and dramatically improved fuel economy ratings.
Increased dimensions and reduced weight? Yes. That, and much higher chassis rigidity, is the benefit of unitbody construction. At 114.2 inches, the new Pathfinder's wheelbase is 2.0 inches longer than the 2012 model, overall length stretches 4.6 inches to 197.2, and width expands from 72.8 to 77.2. The only dimension that shrinks is height: 69.6 inches, down 2.4, in part because ride height and ground clearance (6.5 inches) is similar to that of an everyday sedan.
This isn't surprising, since the 2013 Pathfinder's architecture based on front-wheel drive is shared with the Nissan Altima sedan and the new Infiniti JX sport-utility. What is surprising is just how much mass has been pared from the Pathfinder in the transition from gen three to gen four: 300 to 500 pounds, depending on trim level and whether the vehicle is equipped with four-wheel drive.
Although Nissan doesn't have a fancy name for it, the design and engineering approach to the weight reduction is pretty much the same as Mazda's Skyactiv Technology. Everything in the new Pathfinder went on a diet. As you'd expect, the biggest weight loss was achieved by the change to unibody construction, about 32 percent, according to Nissan. The new 3.5-liter V6 engine and continuously variable transmission (replacing the previous 4.0-liter V6 and conventional 5-speed automatic) accounted for another chunk, but just about every conceivable element of the car has been trimmed: dashboard, seats, door panels, interior trim elements, you name it.
The sum of the foregoing, plus improved aerodynamics (0.34 coefficient of drag, very good by SUV standards), is EPA fuel economy ratings of 20 mpg City, 26 Highway for front-wheel drive models, 19/25 mpg with all-wheel drive. Nissan claims best in class for the front-drive Highway rating. More significant, the outgoing Nissan was rated for 15/22 with rear drive, 13/18 with four-wheel drive.
The net is a seven-passenger crossover SUV that's stylish, roomy, quiet, and economical by the standards for the mid-size SUV class, a class that includes the Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, Mazda CX-9, and Toyota Highlander.
Thin A- and D-pillars, plus a low beltline, give the cabin an airy feeling, and the wide chrome grille is unmistakably Nissan. The optional dual moonroof (power retractable front portion, fixed rear) adds to the wide open feel of the interior, and there's a power sunshade for the rear portion if/when the sun gets a little intense.
Easy access doesn't make that third row much more habitable, though. Like most it's pretty snug, especially for adult-size people, though reclinable seatbacks help some.
Like all SUVs, the Pathfinder's second- and third-row seats fold flat to expand cargo volume, to almost 80 feet cubic feet. There's 16 cubic feet behind the third row seatbacks and small storage well beneath the floor.
The relaxed-fit front seats are comfortable, with only modest lateral support, though this isn't likely to matter since no one will confuse this vehicle with a sports car and lower bolsters make getting in and out easier. The front seats offer both heating and cooling function, and there's heating for the middle row. Leather is available in upper trim levels, though the basic model's seats are clad in a high grade cloth.
With pricing that crosses the $40,000 threshold, the Pathfinder's inventory includes a broad array of features, an excellent 13-speaker Bose audio, eight-inch center dash color display screen, the Panorama sunroof, a user-friendly navigation system with real-time traffic info, and Nissan's new Around View security camera prominent among them. Unfortunately, all of them are optional: Standard features are minimalistic, particularly in the lower trim levels, S and SV.
Safety features are industry basic: rearview camera, front and front seat-mounted side airbags, curtain airbags covering all three rows, antilock braking, and traction control.
Conspicuous by its absence is the Infiniti JX assist system that alerts the driver to cross traffic or pedestrians during back-up maneuvers, and if the driver ignores the warning will actually stop the vehicle. Nissan provides no really compelling answer for the system's absence in the Pathfinder inventory.
Around View, as noted, costs extra. The system involves four cameras that monitor what's happening in a 360-degree arc around the vehicle. Shared with the Infiniti JX, Nissan characterizes this as an industry first, although both Lexus and Range Rover offer similar systems. But it's definitely a first for this segment, and is likely to save the lives of a good many small dogs, cats, Big Wheels, and Cozy Coupes.
Beyond content issues, the Pathfinder's attractively furnished cabin has an open feel, as noted earlier, even without the big sunroof, thanks to the low beltline. The slender front and rear roof pillars contribute to good driver sightlines, particularly looking forward, and the center stack includes an intelligent mix of buttons and knobs, in contrast to the all-digital touch controls becoming popular elsewhere.
There's also enough thrust to make two-lane highway passing a reasonable exercise, even with family occupying all the seats.
On the other hand, while throttle response is prompt, putting the pedal to the metal doesn't always produce maximum haste. Blame the CVT for this. Nissan has done more with CVT development than any other carmaker, to exploit the virtues of this transmission type in terms of fuel economy.
But big throttle demands will still provoke a bit of the asthmatic wheezing that's been a CVT characteristic, as well as the sense of slipping clutch as the transmission's belt mechanism catches up to the engine.
Steering is another soft suit. Like most carmakers, Nissan has adopted an electric power steering system, a fuel economy measure. Also like most, the system varies power assist as a function of speed: the higher the speed, the lower the assist. However, in the Pathfinder, the system is basically numb, providing almost no tactile information to the driver. As a consequence, the driver finds him or her self making tiny adjustments during cornering maneuvers, matching intention to the vehicle's actual response.
A relatively slow steering ratio, 3.3 turns lock to lock, doesn't do much to enhance the experience.
Still, if the Pathfinder's dynamic persona is all but devoid of fun, it has other virtues. The suspension tuning, for example, strikes an excellent balance between ride comfort and limited body roll in hard cornering. There's enough compliance to smooth out nasty patches and freeway expansion joints, with enough roll stiffness to provide decisive responses in situations requiring quick maneuvers.
Braking is a strong suit, with excellent pedal feel that makes it easy for the driver to modulate pressure.
With a long wheelbase and modest ground clearance, the latest Pathfinder isn't designed for tough off-road use. The simplified four-wheel drive system provides three settings: front-drive, automatic (sending power to the rear wheels when the fronts begin to slip), and four-wheel lock, which fixes front/rear torque split at 50/50. It should serve well in wet, slushy, and icy road conditions, but it's not on the same page as its predecessor for serious off-roading.
Let's not forget towing. Nissan is proud of the new Pathfinder's capability; 5000 pounds is high for a vehicle with front-wheel-drive architecture (Nissan claims best in class), and a noteworthy achievement for a CVT vehicle. It would resonate even better if the previous Pathfinder hadn't been capable of dragging 7000 pounds.
Still, assessed as an all-purpose family hauler, the Pathfinder's dynamics grade out quite well. The overall priority may be smooth ride and quiet comfort, but not at the expense of competence.

CARTHAGE Representatives of GHD Consulting Engineers LLC, Cazenovia, told the Carthage/West Carthage Water Pollution Control Facilities Management Board the firm is seeking outside funding for an extensive upgrade to the aging wastewater treatment plant.
GHD was hired in March to conduct a grant-funded study of improvements to the plant. The $6.4 million upgrade to the water pollution control facility essentially would rebuild the plant.
Charles A. Prior, GHD project manager, told the board the firm is applying for grants through the Environmental Facilities Corp.s Clean Water State Revolving Fund to aid in financing the plants upgrade. The estimated cost of the project is $6.4 million. Mr. Prior said the project may qualify for hardship funding at no interest. Other avenues for funding include the U.S. Department of Agricultures Rural Development program, the Green Initiative program, programs offered through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and funding from the Regional Economic Development program.
Mr. Prior discussed options for how to proceed with the plants upgrades and whether to reuse the West Carthage meter room.
Michael E. Tamblin of GHD said some parts for machinery at the plant are getting harder to replace since they no longer are manufactured; thus, although they are usable now, they may be harder to repair in the future.
Do you want to invest money now or later? Mr. Tamblin said. The manufacturer is no longer manufacturing major components, only minor ones.
The board directed GHD to move forward with the design phase of the project.
Chairman Michael F. Astafan reported to the board on a meeting he and Carthage village President G. Wayne McIlroy had with Patrick Purdy and Fred Goutremout from Carthage Specialty Paperboard, formally Climax Manufacturing. He said Mr. Purdy expressed a desire to have better communication with the board and to meet again to discuss core issues and concerns. In response, the board set up an ad hoc committee consisting of representatives from each village, the management board clerk and a Development Authority of the North Country engineer.

So, Halo 3000 looked into Raidcall and ended up starting a Brikwars group there! Raidcall seems like what I had in mind. Possibly better than Vent. Anywho, download it, and in search type: 5053403 For the group. You'll be taken directly into the group's chat. Bingo-bango.
Like, seriously, voice chat is a fun thing that a lot of internet communities do. A friend of mine actually has a large group of friends that share an old Vent server the Face of Mankind devs lent them, and they have a blast! They watch movies, play games together and stuff.
Why don't we, the Brikwars community, have a Vent server? Or at least some sort of voice server? Obviously we'd need multiple rooms for all the people, but you can't tell me that hearing Warhead and Scythe shouting incoherently while drunk wouldn't be fun. Like, seriously. Stuff.
Anyway, discuss:
Ventrillo(or Teamspeak or something. Whatever. Just not Skype. That's lame.)

Steven Spielberg has made a firm commitment to Robopocalypse as his next directorial effort. He initially chose War Horse over the robot uprising tale, but he's Steven Spielberg and he can come back to sh*t later if he wants to, ya heard? He'll start shooting the Drew Goddard-scripted adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson's novel in January 2012 for a 2013 release.
The novel won't even be published until June 2011. Spielberg has been collecting pages as Wilson churns them out, immediately having them adapted into script form and storyboarded. Makes you wonder if the book is even necessary. Who needs to read stupid words when Spielberg will just flood our senses with CG robot battles a year later? That's the Michael Bay stance on literacy. (Deadline)

Brad Pitt's Plan B has picked up the rights to In With The Devil. A novel that tells the true tale of James Keene, football player turned drug dealer turned mole for the FBI.

There he was to befriend a serial killer and coax his confessions from him.
We won't spoil the book for you because we don't read, but this sounds like a solid premise. Imagine being locked in a cell with a man who could kill you at any time, while encouraging them to go to the darkest parts of their mind. That would suck about a thousand times more than sharing a cubicle with a farter. (Liz Smith)

Production on Bryan Singer's Jack The Giant Killer was slowed down earlier this year when Singer realized that giants do not exist. After scouring Samoa and BBW dating sites for talent, he decided it would just be easier to use computers. Also in that time, the script was reworked by Christoper McQuarrie and now is in a good enough place to receive the greenlight.
Kick-Ass's Aaron Johnson is favored for the lead role of the hero who travels to the land of giants to save a princess. However, Singer also met with Andrew Garfield to discuss the part. Singer's always had an interesting eye for casting so, if he can evade the studio notes, we could end up with someone completely unexpected in the role. Let's just hope it doesn't drag out like all of the Spider-Man reboot. I'm still half-expecting Betty White and Helen Mirren to battle it out for the role of Aunt May. (Deadline)
It's good to know that some forward momentum is being made on The Hobbit despite the labor disputes that are tripping up the film's location. The first round of casting has been announced and you're going to be psyched. But only if you're knowledgeable about British television. Here's who we got so far:
Martin Freeman (UK "The Office") as Bilbo Baggins

Ian McKellan and Andy Serkis have not been confirmed to return, but that announcement is expected. Stephen Fry, Saoirse Ronan, Bill Nighy, James Nesbitt, and David Tennant are all also rumored to be up for parts. But I think the biggest news to come out of this is that there's a show called "Power Rangers Jungle Fury" and it actually lead to someone getting more work. (Deadline)

Workout Myths You Shouldn't Believe (MadeMan)
MTV is preparing to launch their scripted remake of the cult UK series "Skins" in January, and today we have a first look. The series follows a group of students who have way more fun than I did in high school. And college. Basterds.
I'm not familiar with the original UK series but from what I've been told by die-hard fans, this pilot is a pretty faithful remake. So, before you purists start whining about Americanizations or the fact that MTV doesn't play many music videos anymore, it's important that you recall this is a show about semi-nude teenagers. If you hate that, you're not a real American and you should move to England or some sh*t.
Check out the trailer after the jump…
"Mad Men" might be over until next year, but fortunately the show's generous lineup of sweater-clad office vixens is still around to keep us going. Enter Peyton List, the 24-year-old stunner whose depiction of secretary-turned-socialite Jane Siegel became a welcome element in the series midway through season two. A model since age eight, List took a stab at acting with a bit role in an episode of "Sex and the City" back in 2000. Lucky for us, she kept it up. Here's hoping we'll see more of Roger Sterling's young wife in the months ahead.
Total Recall may have found its man to demand that Cohaagen give these people some air. THR's Heat Vision Blog is reporting that Colin Farrell is at the top of the list to lead Len Wiseman's remake of the Arnold Schwarzeneggar classic. Classic? Classic. Inception star Tom Hardy, who will hopefully be Mad Max sometime in the future, and Inglourious Basterds star Michael Fassbender are also being considered.
I understand the importance in securing a Quaid for the film, but it's really the secondary characters that I feel the producers should be most concerned with. In the original Total Recall, Kuato was an animatronic stomach person, but the world has discovered Verne Troyer since then. And let's not forget about the three-boobed prostitute. Ashley Judd could use the one day of work.
Night of Too Many Stars
Thursday, October 21, 2010
Preview – Steve Carell and Chris Rock's Special Auction Items Pt. 2
Ugly Americans New Episodes
Nick Swardson's Pretend Time
Night of Too Many Stars
Who better to tell off your ex than the foul-mouthed master himself, Chris Rock? On tonight's "Night of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Concert for Autism Education," Chris Rock puts up for auction a moment of closure that's worth top dollar. Watch as Rock calls the highest bidder's ex-boyfriend and makes him wish he'd never cheated via Facebook. Or maybe be glad that he cheated considering he got cussed out by Chris Rock for it.
"Night of Too Many Stars airs tonight at 9PM/8c on Comedy Central.
We're finally going to get the chance to see master thespians John Lithgow and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson engage in some on-screen tete-a-tete. The two actors have joined Lives of the Saints, along with Meg Ryan, Kat Dennings, and Joe Anderson. The film "tells the intertwining stories of a group of Angelenos seeking redemption for past mistakes, only to find that forgiveness comes from unlikely places."
They were originally considering the title Crash 2 but quickly realized it would be better to trick the audience into thinking this was a totally different concept. My fingers are crossed for a more Cliffhanger Lithgow than a Harry and the Hendersons Lithgow. He won't stand a chance against Fity without his infamous furrowing of the brow. That move stops hearts beating. (Variety)
When it comes to Hollywood, women are at an extreme disadvantage. Where as men can rely almost solely on their talent (Steve Buscemi rules!), a hot body is basically a prerequisite for landing a female role. And if an actress is lucky enough to break through, there's a whole chorus of naysayers waiting to accuse her of being nothing more than an untalented pair of tits. While I totally recognize that it's a twisted, hypocritical process, who am I to buck the trend?
"Welcome ta Urff!!!"
Much like Kenny Powers, Will Smith will soon hate computers. All kinds. He's attached to Ron Howard's science fiction film The Forbin Project, the movie that tells the story of a super-computer who pulls a Stealth/Short Circuit and becomes sentient. The computer then uses its super-brain to take over the world. Which really doesn't seem that bad actually. In fact, it would be awesome. There'd be porn everywhere.
Not sure who Smith will play yet, but he'll probably be the guy who invented the computer, who now has to run around with a hot Hispanic chick in order to stop it. And then he makes the ultimate sacrifice of diving into the computer's battery core or something in order to disable it. Because that's how super-computers work, you guys. (Deadline)
Shawn's here for dinner. Invite him in.
"The Shield" creator Shawn Ryan has been hired to turn Tom Clancy's best-seller Without Remorse into a kick-ass script for Paramount. Star Trek writer-producers, and J.J. Abrams's BFFs, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are producing. Vulture shoops with the scoop:
The book follows one of Clancy's recurring characters, John Kelly (who later assumes the alias of John Clark, and appears in the Jack Ryan novels like Patriot Games and Rainbow Six), as he seeks revenge against the Baltimore drug ring responsible for the death of his girlfriend. While the book is set in the 1970s during the Vietnam War, insiders tell us there's no definitive plan to make the film a "period" piece.
The thought of Shawn Ryan writing the story of a man seeking revenge against a drug ring stimulates my pleasure centers. "The Shield" is one of my favorite shows of all time. If Without Remorse captures the same tone with characters as rich and compelling as Vic Mackey and his Strike Team then I'd say Paramount has a successful franchise on its hands. Just don't get Walton Goggins to play the role of the hick, if there even is one. Dude needs to branch out. "President" has a nice ring to it.
Sam Raimi is looking to pay homage to one of the great horror classics. With the help of Mandate Pictures, Raimi has set up The Day Of The Triffids at Ghost House with the intention to direct. A partial basis for 28 Days Later, Triffids tells the story of a man who awakes to find that London has been stricken blind and overrun by intelligent, carnivorous plants.
This sounds awesome. They should move the remake to Detroit. That place is already a wasteland. Just make sure not to film anything remotely Motown. You're already going to get enough Little Shop Of Horrors comparisons as is. (Deadline)
Everyone knows that Jaden Smith has the power to resurrect classic 80's movie franchises. But the young actor also has an amazing psychic ability to communicate with the dead. And it seems the young star is putting his talent to good use by reaching out to the directing career of M. Night Shyamalan, which passed away earlier this year after the premiere of The Last Airbender.
According to The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision Blog M. Night Shyamalan's next project will be the super secretive sci-fi flick that goes by the name of One Thousand A.E.. While details are scarce at the moment we do know that the flick is being developed as a vehicle for Jaden Smith.
I'm sure Shyamalan is hard at work developing a twist for the film's ending. And I hate to break it to him, but whatever he comes up with will pale in comparison to the shocking revelation I'm about to unleash. Jaden Smith's real father is DJ Jazzy Jeff! (Dread Central)
If you look really close, you can see a tear drop forming in the corner of his eye. It wasn't worth the appearance fee, was it, Perry?

Showtime has dropped the trailer for their new drama "Shameless," and William H. Macy can't help from slurring the voiceover. In the series, Macy plays an alcoholic father to a slew of Chicagoan kids. Emmy Rossum appears to be the one keeping the family afloat and looking adorable in the process.
The Gallagher clan should fit in nicely with the rest of Showtime's dysfunctional families, such as the Botwins on "Weeds" and the Peytons on "Nurse Jackie." Drugs, booze, and sex always play a major part in their series, not to mention serial killing in "Dexter." Does Showtime know how to party or what?!
"Shameless" premieres January 9, 2011 at 10PM EST.
Check out the trailer after the jump…
Before 'Iron Man' there was 'The Shaggy Dog'. Thank God for 'Iron Man'.
Columbia Pictures have picked up the rights to The Game author Neil Strauss's book Emergency!: This Book Will Save Your Life. Robert Downey Jr. is on board to produce and possibly star in the film version that will also save your life.
The book details the three years that Strauss spent in the West Indies, educating himself to be able to handle any disaster situation. Everything from terror attacks to earthquakes to when best pal Mystery misplaces his furry top hat. I don't know why he'd have to travel to the West Indies for that. A few weeks with Ted Nugent should have been all he needed. Allan Loeb is writing the screenplay, which makes perfect sense. Who better to save your life than the guy who gets laid using magic tricks, the guy who wrote Kevin James's fart jokes, and the guy who co-starred with Tim Allen in The Shaggy Dog?
To promote his new talk show "Conan" on TBS, Conan O'Brien has set up a live web cam in the Team Coco offices. As you can see from the above screen grab, crazy sh*t is going down. I've been watching it for awhile now and it's oddly fascinating. There has been an 80's aerobics class, a public speaker, and a black man holding up a sign that says "I See White People!!!" I personally just like watching the employees walk by. It makes me feel like I'm part of a nurturing office environment. Not this damp cellar they call SJ Headquarters.
The Live Coco Cam is live until tomorrow at 1PM ET/10AM PT. Check it out HERE.
He can't resist a photo op.
The 1st Assistant Camera on Brett Ratner's The Tower Heist had better not forget to put a long lens on the order. Precious star Gabourey Sidibe has picked up an unknown role on the film, as has "Eastbound and Down's" very funny Michael Pena.
They'll join Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy in the film that pits the little guy against a crooked Bernie Madoff type played by Alan Alda. Other than that, we don't have a lot of details. But now we know that the heist most likely won't involve taking the stairs. And before you chastise me in the comments section for making a fat joke at Sidibe's expense, you should know it was a lazy joke at Pena's expense. And no, not because he's Mexican. Man, I can't win with you guys. (Deadline)
Alien was made back in the good old days when monsters were guys in rubber suits. If Ridley Scott is making a prequel to Alien, it would make sense to go back to the practical effects. It turns out the director's been consulting with Avatar creature designer Neville Page. Scott's still not sold on that performance capture hocus pocus.
"I just recently was talking to Ridley Scott," Page said at a media even for the Blu-Ray release of Avatar. "He brought up a really interesting point about how the real rubber suits for him are still a preference because you get stuff that you're forced to have be real. As a result, it feels real on camera or in camera. I thought, 'Wait a minute, I thought we were doing everything digital now.' Just like us, a director's going to use whatever tools make sense for the end result."
That's food for thought for Ridley Scott. Dude, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Bring back the rubber suit. Page said Scott was just gathering information to weigh his options.
"He was talking more theoretical in regards to filmmaking and his experience on the original. It's a choice of now moving forward, when you can do an alien fully digital, is that what he would do?"
What do you think? Wouldn't it be great to see an old school alien in the Alien prequel as opposed to more CG B.S.?
James Cameron inched closer to committing to Avatar 2 at a world media event for the Blu Ray release of an extended Avatar. "Our plan is to make 2 and 3 together as a single large production and release them a year apart," Cameron said. "It's in progress right now. There's a lot of writing, a lot of designing and there's a lot of tech work that we're going to do."
Hasn't he invented everything already? He should be able to just crank out more Na'Vi, but of course Cameron wants to push things further. If he's going to make two movies together, that could take five years. He wants to anticipate technological advances five years out, so that Avatar 3 still looks fresh when it's released.
More after the jump…
"No. Seriously, do not listen to this thing. I do not have a crush on Cindy Hawkins."
I, like most others, reacted poorly when it was announced that Platinum Dunes are making a movie based off Hasbro's Ouija Board. "That's dumb," I thought. "There won't even be any room to work in French martial arts." Oh, how short-sighted I was, friends.
Taken director Pierre Morel is on the shortlist to direct the film. That means this will be the ass-kickingest game of Ouija ever played. All I see in my head when I think of this is a child-version of Liam Neeson breaking his older sister's fingers one by one until she admits she moved the planchette. Hopefully, he'll be able to get Neeson himself. You know, if Milton Bradley doesn't have him under retainer. (LA Times)
I'm going to executive produce your face off!
Mark Wahlberg's gradual takeover of HBO moved one step closer to the tipping point with the announcement that he and Malcolm Gladwell are teaming up to produce a spy drama for the network. This brings Wahlberg's total number of HBO "executive producer" credits up to 55, give or take several dozen. Stephen Levinson and Charles Randolph will also act as executive producers, whatever that means.
The as-of-yet untitled series will take place in Cold War-era Berlin, and follow the exploits of a missionary who falls in with the CIA. In the interest of proving the writers at Vulture wrong, we will not go in for the easy "missionary position" joke, although God knows it would be hilarious if we did. (Vulture)
It's no surprise that Piranha 3D is getting a sequel. It's also no surprise that the sequel's title contains a pun involving breasts (Piranha 3DD). What is surprising is the fact that the film is scheduled to hit theaters in August 2011. I know they're not exactly going for an Oscar, but less than a year is still a pretty quick turn around time.
John Gulager (Feast) is set to direct, while Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan (Saw sequels) will pen the script. Let's hope Melton and Dunstan are fast writers. To speed things up, might I suggest using the word "tits" instead of "breasts," the word "fish" instead of "piranha," and the symbol for "$" in place of the words "plot," "character development" and "dignity." (Empire)
NotZombies switched out the pull quotes in the Biutiful trailer and I have to say it peaked piqued my interest more than the original. Seriously, how did no one address the kid on the ceiling before?

The director's chair left vacant by David O. Russell on Pride And Prejudice And Zombies is being retro-fitted for a few more asses. Jonathan Demme, Matt Reeves, the Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs guys, and Mike White joined previously announced asses David Slade, Neil Marshall, and Mike Newell for a shot at plunking down for some on-set bad back support.
As with everything nowadays, the casting list is also uncertain now that Natalie Portman has walked from the starring role. Bradley Cooper, Scarlett Johansson, Mia Wasoshoushawkasa, Tilda Swinton, and Catherine O'Hara are all rumored for the project. It's impressive that so many big names (and Mike White) are interested in the project. I'm sure it will end up in good hands (or Mike White's). (The Wrap)


text: Emergency and law enforcement crews respond to the scene of a fatal accident early Saturday morning on U.S. Highway 6 near the east Price junction with Utah Highway 55. Reports from Utah Highway Patrol indicate that the driver of a small red car, a 17-year-old female from Price, was traveling eastbound and crossed the center line just after placing a call on her cellular phone. The local teenager's vehicle purportedly collided head-on with a pickup truck traveling in the opposite direction. The driver of the passenger car was reportedly killed instantly. UHP officials said the unidentified victim was not wearing a seatbelt when the collision occurred. All four of the pickup's occupants are from Colorado and were wearing safety belts. One passenger reportedly suffered fa broken leg, but no other injuries were reported.

praised be Ye, bringer of enlightenment in this sinister of hours.
when vile leechers and foul landlubbers are snapping on the heels of our weak hope, like wolves in the dark forest of our peril, torturing the true believer with unholy sermons,
selling theirs and our souls out in a bargain for meagre wisdoms, neither norishing nor new, promising the pill that does it all.
Ye shine on our dim little hungover souls like a glorious furnace of purest light, blasting away the shadows of ache and despair in our time of need with sheer, keen and strong belief and wisdom.
Ye humble us, yet! at the same time heighten us.
Longest lives the prophet,
most fiercely touched by HIS noodly appendage

Hi,I accidentally subscribed to a year of membership even though I was already a member. I sent support an email but haven't heard back. Can someone look into this and refund my order please?Thanks.
Are any of the admins even monitoring this board anymore?
Many people are about.Just not where you need them.Also, the individual you need has a life and doesn't haunt these boards.So... use the Help at the upper right.Click on My Support.Fill things out as best you can, even though it seems weird.Good Luck.It usually works.
Probably better to email Ryan Jordan. He's about the only one around, and he has stated that he generally doesn't monitor the board or respond to support tickets.
Thanks for both of your advice. I will try to fill a support request and email Ryan. I find it odd that you both mention things about admins "not monitoring the boards" or "having a life" as if it's somehow expected or normal. Imagine you went to the supermarket and nobody was there to help you with an issue because they "have a life." What kind of company operates like this?
"What kind of company operates like this?"One run by people who don't know how to run a business. I quit coming here a couple of years ago after all the changes started taking place. A shame too, since there is so much useful info to be shared.
