In my endless search for the perfect DAYPACK, I am thinking about buying an Osprey Talon 33 (as in 33 litres) which is light (1 lb 14 oz in size M/L) and felt comfortable in the shop and has received good reviews here and elsewhere. It's a bit big for a day pack but the smaller ones in this series are panel loaders, which I'm not a big fan of. Also, I can use it for overnighters. Any other packs I should consider? Thanks, Mike
Edited by greenwalk on 04/03/2008 08:41:00 MDT.
I think much depends on what you plan to use this day pack for. As an example, a day pack that's big enough for an overnighter (and with the commensurate weight) may not be ideal for use in summitting / peak bagging.Anyway, food for thought...
Yes, I know what you mean. I am looking for a day pack that I can use for day outings, which often include scrambling, all year round. Often I'll have a helmet to carry and in colder weather I'll carry a bulkier winter clothing, eg. my Patagonia micropuff, along with the usual stuff for day hikes. I don't really need the pack for overnighters; that was just an afterthought becuase at 33 liters the Osprey Talon would be big enough for that purpose too. The Osprey pack has many smart features like straps with keepers so they don't get blown into the face. I hate when that happens. And a good hydration sleeve. Other features too. I guess I just want to know what people here use as a day pack--their favorite one. --Mike

People are always surprised when they go day hiking with me because I don't carry a daypack; instead, I use a fanny pack, or to be more specific, a Mountainsmith lumbar pack. It's fairly large - maybe 1800 c.i. - and easily holds everything I need for an outing: water, food, extra layers, map, emergency stuff, and rain gear. It rides well, and (the main reason I use this) it keeps the center of gravity low for off trail scrambling
I love my ULA-Equipment Relay. I use it all year for day scrambles. It does not have a hydration pouch, which I don't use, anyway. In the winter I have been able to pack an avy probe and shovel in the outside pouch, my ice axe, and strap on snowshoes and helmet when I don't need them. I always carry a home-made tarp, a bivy, extra socks, rain gear, a Patagonia Micropuff parka, wind shirt, and a ziplock bag with all the little bits of junk I need to carry - headlamp, sunscreen, bandanna, sunglasses, first aid, etc. In the winter the pack will weigh 13 pounds, which includes food and water. In the warmer months the weight is usually below 9 pounds, again including food and water. Did I mention I love this pack?Edit: I forgot to mention I use a GG 1/8" pad folded up as a "frame" against the back.

>>The torso length on most day packs are really short and I can't wear the waist belt on most of them.I have that same problem Mike. That's interesting to note that you find the GG packs to be longer. How tall are you, by the way? Actually, I guess the more appropriate question is: what's your torso lengt?I have an REI Flash UL pack and like it. I just got it, but it'll work well as a peak-bagging-from-base-camp sort of pack. I can use it in my bigger backpack to hike to a basecamp (it doubles as a stuff sack) and peakbag on day hikes from there.But it's so short that the waist belt is more of a rib cage belt. I didn't cut it off though as it keeps the pack from bouncing around when I'm running.For day hikes requiring a fuller load, I use the Osprey Atmos 35. It's not really UL, but it is one of my favorite packs and just fits me (and my long torso) great.

I choose between a Lowe Alpine Contour XC 30 and a MS Day lumbar pack. They are both way overkill as far as weight is concerned (30 oz and 24 oz, respectively) but they are super durable and I can really thrash them. It gives me the option of taking side trips that I might not otherwise consider with a more fragile pack. Plus I use both of them when I do trail maintenance, which can be pretty rough on packs.Choosing between the lumbar pack and the backpack is really a matter of my mood at the time. Sometimes it feels good to just carry a lumbar pack and let your back breathe, other times I like the more controlled fit of the backpack. I mostly like them because they are so versatile, and they really define 'go-to' for me. I've used the LA backpack for traveling, hiking, trail work, overnighters, and even as my school pack. Adam
I'll let you into a little secret. The best backpacks ever made are by Black Diamond. I have the 30 liter Speed which is the most comfortable pack I've ever worn. The waist belt moves independently from the pack. It's a pretty simple pack with ice ax or (can hold trekking poles). It weighs 2 lb 3 oz but the waist belt, frame and brain can be removed to make it 1 lb 9 oz. I get excited every time I put this pack on. Check out the other Black Diamond designs as well because they're sweet. For a smaller day pack I have the Patagonia Houdini which is awesome. They also have Patagonia Grittys on sale at backcountry.com that you definitely should check out. But if I needed a new pack, there would be no question it would be a BD
I have an Osprey Stratos 24 in size L. Plenty of volume for my use as a daypack year round. Handy side water bottle pockets accessible without taking off. Also has mesh hip belt pockets for a camera and a snack. Very comfortable because of frame and mesh trampoline backpanel. Main selling point was length - the L fits my 23" torso perfectly. One drawback is the 2lb 8oz weight. Easy for me to overlook though because of functionality, and because I rarely have more than 5-6 lbs in it.I am wearing my Stratos 24 in my new avatar pic - not that you can tell though.
Edited by jbrinkmanboi on 04/04/2008 00:22:43 MDT.
You need a daypack that is expandable in volume like my old VauDe pack W/ a zippered expansion gore. That way you'll always have extra volume when you need it.Eric
Thanks all for your suggestions and insights. I didn't realize that BD made so many packs. I've used the Wisp and like it, as it sticks to the back for scrambling but I also find that it soaks up sweat from the back, which even makes its way into the pack. But it's a great pack. I used to use a lumbar pack but they just don't have enough room for what I need to carry most days. The other packs look good too. I think I'll hit the shops and try them on. Cheers, Mike
Assuming you are using other items typical of BPL ethos then a Golite Ion is a great little pack.Can do overnights too. I use one and am very happy.Alternatively there was a MYOG 5 yars to U/L article that showed how to make one. There are examples of ohters doing this on the forum.

New Movie: Santas Slay
It turns out that Santa Claus (WWE Wrestling star Goldberg) is not really the cuddly, harmless old fellow that we all know and love. In fact he's a devil, and the only thing that has been keeping his bad side in check all this time is a be he lost with an angel.
Now, the bet has expired, and 1000 years of good cheer will be replaced by Christmas fear. This Christmas will be a violent night of chaos, with Santa bashing his way through town. Local boy Nicholas (Douglas Smith), his girlfriend Mac (Emilie de Ravin), and his crazy Grandfather (Robert Culp) are the only ones who know the truth about Santa, and can save their town and the world.
Santa's Slay is a fast paced horror/comedy which casts everybody's favorite Holiday figure, Santa Claus, in a very different - and sinister light.

"Not guilty by reason of…."
In 2011, a lone gunman opened fire at a political event in Tucson, Arizona, killing six and severely wounding Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. In the aftermath of the tragedy, a federal judge ruled that the suspect charged in the Tucson shooting "was not mentally competent to stand trial."
The attack and the later legal ruling were not an unprecedented event in American history. Less than three decades earlier on June 21, 1982, a federal court had found President Ronald Reagan's would-be assassin not guilty by reason of insanity.
President Reagan was wounded when a bullet ricocheted off the Presidential limousine, puncturing his lung and lodging itself within an inch of his heart.
Secret Service agents rushed the President to George Washington University Hospital, where doctors performed successful surgery to remove the bullet. He fully recovered and was able to return to the Oval Office less than a month later, on April 25.
So what happened to John Hinckley, Jr.?
On June 21, 1982, a jury found Hinckley not guilty by reason of insanity. Hinckley had a history of mental illness and had exhibited increasingly erratic behavior in the months leading up to the shooting.
The public response to Hinckley's acquittal was overwhelmingly negative. As a … [ Read all ]

A Shaky, but Official, Signature
It had not yet been 24 hours since President Ronald Reagan was wounded in an assassination attempt—wounds far more serious than the public was told at the time.
But on the morning of March 31, 1981, the three men he relied on most in these early days of his administration came to see him in his room at George Washington University Hospital, about six blocks from the White House.
Chief of Staff James A. Baker, Deputy Chief Michael Deaver, and Counselor Edwin Meese brought with them some urgent business—a piece of legislation that had to be signed. And it had to be signed that day.
It had passed both houses of Congress and, like all bills sent from Congress to the President, bore the signatures of the Speaker of the House, then Democrat Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr., and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, then Republican Strom Thurmond.
The legislation would block an increase in dairy price supports that, without Reagan's signature on this legislation, would go into effect the next day, April 1, 1981, boosting price supports and costing the government hundreds of millions of dollars. Reagan's budget makers argued that the mounting costs of the dairy program could run into the billions of dollars.
The President needed to … [ Read all ]

What year? New one? Old one?
I just saw a white chevrolet corvette... ' been ages since I last saw one. This car totally rocks. It almost looks like the batmobile. (I don't know what year-model the car was..) :/
The sound from the engine.. mmmm. Heeeeere, kitty kitty kitty. meee0w!
(no, I did not kill the kitten now.. I was just illustrating the sound of a killingmachine)
I just bumped the Volkswagen Corrado down to second on my 'CARS_I_WANT_WHEN_I_HAVE_LOTS_AND_LOTS_OF_CASH'-list.
What year? New one? Old one?

i guess a euro guy wanting a chevy is like me wanting a euro bmw m3 evo or m3 gt..... they're just common where you aren't
-- WireSix, Inc. --
MP3Car Lives Here!
I would gestimate 1968 or above.. when the corvette started having that enormous, brutal and sexy hood.
You should bump the Vette off your list and add a sweet Porsche 911 there instead. I mean if the VW corrado was your previous selection i'd stick with the nice european car's over american muscle.
GTI - Palm IIIe controlled with Radio faceplate hack for keyboard control of WinAmp w/ Vocal Genre playlist loading.
VW Bus - 10.4" vga lcd. Loaded with same software as above.
The vettes 1970 to 1982 are my favorites. I'd take one of those over a new one anyday. Too bad everything on it is so damn expensive. The corvette logo on the side is ~$200.
But no car ever made holds a flame to the '66 427 S/C Cobra.
1971 Corvette, that has got to be the best. even legal to own them with straight pipes, bc they came with no pollutions controlls

My humble Epson 4490 works quite well as a densitometer over the density range I need, 0.15 to about 2.2. I did an initial calibration by scanning a pre-calibrated step wedge and creating a Photoshop curve to convert scanned values to densities. Scanned densities agree with a dedicated film densitometer to within +/- 0.02 which is plenty for me. Density readings from the scanner are repeatable to within the same tolerance (+/- 0.02) as long as I let the scanner warm up for about 20 minutes first.
As others have said, it is critical to turn off all auto functions. I use VueScan's raw mode.
I scan at 16 bits per channel to capture enough bits in the densest areas (lowest scanned values). Eight bits per channel won't cut it. Applying a gamma=3 in Photoshop before applying the calibration curve expands the range of the lowest scan values (greatest density) and compresses the highest values (least density). Otherwise the low values are too close together for a good calibration curve. I set up my curve so that pixel values of 0-255 represent densities of 0.00-2.55 (although the scanner doesn't actually reach the extremes). I have a Photoshop file with the layers ready to go so I just copy in the scanned image and read out densities.
I also have Photoshop layers that convert negative density to print values for various contrast filters based on a standard printing exposure. I simulate different printing exposures by adding or subtracting a constant to density values. For example, adding +30 to all pixels is equivalent to a density increase of 0.30 which is one stop less printing exposure. This method helps me visually come up with a good starting point (contrast filter and printing exposure) to make better use of precious darkroom time. It was a bear to set up but comes in handy now.

Phil 'The Power' Taylor Exclusive Interview
PHIL TAYLOR dominates his sport like no other athlete in the World. He has won the World Championship for 15 out of the last 20 years. A spate of recent defeats, albeit unusual, has led to talk that the man they call 'The Power' has lost his bottle.
When you consider that in the last year alone he has set a new record three-dart average of 118.66, in a 9-0 victory over Kevin Painter, and also managed two perfect nine-dart legs – in the one match against James Wade – then talk of his demise seems greatly exaggerated.So how does Taylor account for his dominance?
"In my life, it's been dedication. It really has. I've done 25 years of dedication. Not doing what most other people do. Not going nightclubbing and whatever else. Bit boring really, I suppose," he says.
Anybody who has ever stepped up to the oche will know that Taylor's consistently outstanding performances over the last two decades are far from boring.
It's true that Taylor has been beaten four times in a month – including defeats to Wade in the Championship League and Simon Whitlock in the Irish Masters in Killarney – but he feels he can lay some of the blame on his hectic schedule.
"I've been doing a lot of travelling. A lot of late nights and early mornings, [I'm] getting older.
"I've had 20 years at the top. I've won hundreds of titles. And now and again it happens. It's just one of those things. You just have to get on with it. Take a break, get back up there on the practice board and put it right," he says casually.
Ahead of the World Championships, which starts on December 16, Taylor will begin a new training regime to ensure that his is in the right condition to defend his title.
"It's the big one. It's good practice during the day. Being at home, eating healthy, doing a little bit of exercise.
"Early to bed, make sure you're nice and rested. Darts, obviously a lot of it's in the mind. You've got to be nice and fresh so you've slept well. You 'get ready' for the World Championship. It's the big one."
Unsurprisingly, the 50-year-old abides by a mantra that we are all familiar with, thanks to a certain highly-strung ex-footballer.
"Sport has changed across the board now. Not just our sport, every sport has changed. It's about preparation. If you fail to prepare then prepare to fail."
It is also true to say that Taylor hasn't been pushed too hard in the finals of the last two World Championships. The Stoke man only dropped three sets to Whitlock last year and his old nemesis Raymond van Barneveld only managed to take one set the year before.
"As far as the last two finals go, it suited me down to the ground. Barney will do me lovely one year and Simon the next. It's a matter of preparing properly and getting everything right on the day."
But what about James Wade. The 27-year-old has had the drop on Taylor recently. Does Taylor feel that 'The Machine' is the biggest threat to his crown?
"Not really. You never know what the draw is. You don't think about who you're going to play," says Taylor. "James is a lovely player. He's got a lot of bottle as well. His stage presence is very good.
As for his uncanny ability to throw perfect legs, Taylor says: "9-Darters are special. It's like a 147 or a hole-in-one. You can never take the shine off that. There's no luck at all. It's a great achievement. I couldn't do one at first. I kept trying and I couldn't get one. All of a sudden, you get one, you get two, three, four, five. They seem to come along."
There has been a growing murmur in the darts community about darts becoming an Olympic sport. There is even a facebook petition with almost 10,000 members. Does Taylor think it's a runner? "I can't see it happening. Not in my time, no."
Away from the bright lights of Sky Sports, Taylor's other sporting love is Port Vale Football Club.
"[I go] every week. I've got a box at the Vale. I go there every home game when I'm at home. I get on well with Mick [Adams, Port Vale manager]. Me and Mick text each other all the time."
Phil Taylor begins the defence of his title against Gary Mawson or Juanito Gionson on Thursday, December 16.

"This card arrived exactly as pictured. I have ordered several items and they are always perfect! The ability to view your proof as you designing it is awesome!! Really fast delivery too!"
"I customized these to put my twin daughter's names for their Baptism and couldn't be happier with the final results. They look beautiful and the card stock is excellent. Can't wait to mail them to our guests!"
"These cards are beautiful. I ordered a sample of the basic and the highest quality and there wasn't a difference in the way they looked or color (as was the case with some of the other cards). The only difference was the thickness of the card. The basic ones were good quality, beautiful and the layout looked great even after I had to include more information than what is on the sample. I would highly recommend. They also shipped much faster than estimated. My customer service interaction was well above average too."
"Everyone that received our daughter's baptism announcement made a comment on how beautiful they were. We were extremely pleased with the quality and the service!"
"We are so happy with these invites! Feminine and stylish, we received so many compliments on them. I have used tiny prints a few times now, and the whole service is excellent. Fast delivery to Australia too! Will contine o use this company!"

At 20 years old, U.S. soldier Moritz Fuchs not only witnessed history unfold before him, he ensured that it happened, safely.
It was 1945 and the world was learning of the atrocities committed against prisoners under the Nazi regime. As the only bodyguard to the lead prosecutor, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, during the Nuremberg Trials of WWII, Fuchs said his mission was clear: to protect Justice Jackson 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Jackson was very strong in saying that we must offer the world an opportunity to see the wrongness, and the appropriate punishment for wrongness," Fuchs said in 2010, reflecting on the experience. "People are responsible for their actions, and governments are responsible for their actions."
Fuchs will recount his experiences during the Nuremberg Trials and as bodyguard to Justice Jackson at 2 p.m. on Thursday, December 8 in the Irene A. Bisgrove Community Theatre at Cayuga Community College, 197 Franklin St., Auburn. His visit is sponsored by the Criminal Justice Club, the Veterans Club, and the History Club at the College.
Fuchs has been featured in several documentaries about the trials, and also was depicted in the Hollywood TV mini-series, Nuremberg, starring Alec Baldwin and Christopher Plummer.
He eventually went on to become a priest in the Catholic Church and now resides in Fulton, N.Y.
"We are so excited to have Rev. Fuchs come to campus to share his experiences with our students and community members," said Professor and Criminal Justice Club Advisor Teri Misiaszek. "This event will be a fantastic learning opportunity for students in a multitude of ways."
The event is free and open to the public.
For more information, contact Misiaszek at firstname.lastname@example.com or 315-255-1743, ext. 2427.

Illegal trade of threatened reef fish
Humphead wrasse. Credit: © Robert Delfs / WWF-Canon
The valuable humphead wrasse is still being traded illegally, despite being listed by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), reports WWF.
At the CITES meeting, held in Bangkok, Thailand, it was suggested that large numbers of this tropical reef fish are being traded online and not reported, so many more could be being fished illegally. This trade is centred in Hong Kong, but has spread to southern China and other consumer regions, including Singapore.
During the meeting a number of ways to help curb this problem were discussed.
"Regulating the trade throughout Asia aims to protect humphead wrasse from overfishing and encourages sustainable fishing which will ensure a future for this species." said Dr Colman O Criodain, WWF's Policy Analyst, International Wildlife Trade.
WWF says that another problem is that young humphead wrasse are being taken from the wild and placed in captivity until they are big enough to sell. The organisation says that if this ranching style was done sustainably it could supply the fish to the Asian market without impacting the wild populations, but current methods are unsustainable.
Humphead wrasse is one of the most valuable fish in the live reef fish trade, and its rarity leads to higher demand and prices of up to UD$250-300/kg in China.

A recent Star article (9/12, "Schools could get lesson plans that teach math, risks of gambling") did an excellent job of highlighting a proposed new classroom program to teach the mathematics and risks of gambling, and in summarizing the accomplishments of the National Center for Responsible Gaming.
The article also mentioned a new employee training program (EMERGE) developed by Harvard Medical School. There are some key points made in the article that require clarification.
The EMERGE training program provides employees with a comprehensive introduction to how gambling can become an addiction, their company's responsible gaming program and how to respond to requests for information. Such training does not mean employees should try to identify problem gamblers.
In fact, the training discourages employees from approaching customers who appear to have a gambling problem, as research has shown even highly trained health professionals have difficulty identifying problem gamblers.
The training does, however, play an important role critical for employees' own health. A Harvard Medical School study showed that casino employees have a slightly higher rate of problems with gambling, drinking and smoking than the general population. Although most will never develop a gambling disorder, better understanding addiction may help those employees.

We are heading into the prime time of year for giving - and studies suggest most of you reading this are all too willing to give!
I heard the figures during a luncheon this week celebrating National Philanthropy Day. Robert Swanson shared the interesting facts. Last year, $298 billion was given to charitable causes across the nation. Of that amount, 80 percent came from individuals as opposed to businesses and organizations.
Kansans are a big part of the giving. Swanson cited research that Kansans give 4.8 percent of their discretionary income to charity. That works out to about $2300 per household.
The figures actually went up from 2010 to 2011, which is a good thing because needs continue to grow as well. It seems those can afford to do so are doing more, much to the gratitude of those who never thought they'd need to ask for help, but now find themselves in a tough spot.
On behalf of so many deserving organizations doing such fine work in our community, thanks in advance for being so willing to give of your resources to help others.

TORRANCE, Calif. — Steve Hirano, former editor and associate publisher of SCHOOL BUS FLEET, has resigned his position to start up his own company, an online employment board for the transit industry. His last day was Sept. 28.
Hirano had been with Bobit Business Media, SBF's parent company, for more than 13 years. He started as a senior editor for SBF and eventually was promoted to editor and associate publisher. In 2001, he also took on the duties of editor and associate publisher for METRO Magazine, which covers the transit and motorcoach industries.
"It's with a mixture of sadness and excitement that I leave such great magazines," Hirano said. "The past 13 years have been among the most satisfying of my professional life. More than anything, I'll miss my connection with the readers, who made all of my efforts worthwhile."
During his tenure, Hirano introduced the "Great Fleets Across America" feature that now appears in the January issue. It debuted in the October 1999 issue and profiled exemplary school bus operations in all 50 states. Hirano also helped to develop SBF's popular Website (www.schoolbusfleet.com), which logs more than 300,000 visits per month, and its e-mail newsletter, SBF eWeekly.
"Steve was a tremendous asset to SBF and METRO and will be missed," said Publisher Frank Di Giacomo. "However, he has agreed to continue to contribute to both magazines, as a freelance writer and as a member of our editorial advisory boards."
Hirano is replaced by Tom McMahon, who was recently promoted to executive editor. "Tom will do a great job as my replacement," Hirano said. "I feel very comfortable leaving the magazine in his hands and look forward to seeing his talents more fully displayed in the magazine."
Hirano's new business is called TransitTalent.com. The site is a Web-based career center for the public transportation industry and will be located at www.TransitTalent.com. If the venture goes well, he said, he might create a similar job board for the school transportation industry.

'Tis the season to find great deals on fresh fruit. I'm a sucker for good deals on fresh fruit!! It's like summer heaven.
When I find the fruit on sale, of course, I MUST buy it in bulk. I just must. And it's all good, cause I don't mind dicing, chopping, and freezing for smoothies. We eat smoothies nearly every day in my house. Our blender will not live to see next season, we make so many.
I used to freeze the fruit in freezer bags, but man, it can get expensive and plastic freezer bags aren't exactly environmentally friendly. I was pondering this dilemma when I had a GENIUS, mind blowing idea. Are you ready for it????
Why not just freeze the fruit in canning jars???
Oh, you've thought of that already? My bad. It was an exciting moment for me, anyway.

I'm currently use Mongoid to talk to my mongodb database. I have a query like the following:
ClassDoc.only(:class_id).where(:recurrs => true)
I'm only interested in the IDs as I exclude them in a subsequent query. However, the subsequent query needs the IDs in an array so I have to do this:
first_result_ids = ClassDoc.only(:class_id).where(:recurrs => true).collect { |class| class.class_id }
This takes quite a long time since AFAIK 'collect' loops over every result. It can take up to 10s to loop over just 1000 results.
Is there a way to pull the IDs out directly into an array?

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Thanks to a strong tail wind, Kurt Warner and
the Arizona Cardinals flew into town ahead of schedule to get ready
for an unexpected Super Bowl appearance.
Warner, who won a Super Bowl title with St. Louis in 2000, leads
a team of Cardinals who are mostly newcomers to the NFL's biggest
stage. After all, the franchise hasn't played in a title game since
Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt has been here before, as offensive
coordinator of Pittsburgh's Super Bowl champions of three seasons

Broncos second rower Brett Le Man is congratulated after scoring the club's first try.
Phil Lutton grabbed a carton of Powers Bitter and a pack of Winfield 25s and revisited Brisbane's historic opener against Manly 25 years ago. Here's what transpired.
Foundation Broncos skipper Wally Lewis.
This is all short shorts, taped heads, spray-on sweat and shoulder pads, capped off with ET literally squeezing the moisture out of the back of his mullet in the same way a mortal might squeeze out a chamois after cleaning the car. It's staggering footage.
Cut to the Brisbane rooms where Wally Lewis is sitting shirtless on a massage table, a "jocks only" rule is in place and everybody else looks like Warren Boland. Cut to footage of a nuclear explosion. I miss the 80s.

Game preview
Ian Maurice wanders the concrete bleachers, which are stacked with Broncos fans who can't even begin to imagine how irritating they'll grow to be in the future. "The reception they will give Manly will be like nothing else again," he predicts.
Nothing makes sense so far. The Bear is saved by the kick-off.
First half
I like how they plaster the teams all over the screen so you can't really see what happens in the first few minutes. It keeps the sense of mystery. Who would want to know the teams before kick-off? Nobody, that's who. Nobody.
Paul Vautin starts by trying to pull down Greg Dowling's shorts. And here's Allan Langer with a chip-and-chase in... let's have a look... about the second minute. Why did he wait so long?
Here's big Manly forward Phil Daley taking off Langer's head and then kicking Lewis, all in the space of about 30 seconds. He must have been the most popular man in NSW at that point. Langer's off for treatment, replaced by Craig Grauf. That sounds bad for Brisbane but just, you, wait.
Dale Shearer drops a bomb but the day is saved by Mick O'Connor, whose curly mullet rivals Ian Moss in the Tucker's Daughter video. But Shearer drops another one! He couldn't catch a train at Roma Street. Grauf hoists it, Shearer spills it and Brett Le Man scores for Brisbane and becomes an instant trivia question. The replay suggests he dropped it but that's a minor detail.
Le Man is a 25-year-old financial planner, the on-screen factbox reveals. My advice? Apple shares.
Broncos forward Bryan Niebling is penalised by Mick Stone for a swinging arm. "He gets penalised for missing," says an outraged/disappointed Mossop as the camera pans to row after row of empty seats. Was there another Brisbane side making their historic debut in the Winfield Cup that day?
O'Connor gets a penalty to make it 6-2 but all is not going well for the Manly attack. "Cliff Lyons was involved in that move three times and screwed it twice," says Mossop.
And here's Des Hasler through from dummy half! My old man, a non-reformed Manly fan, must have been hitting the roof when he watched that. But they've "screwed it" and Lewis is over. Try to the Australian, Queensland and Brisbane skipper and part-time "schools liaison". It's 14-2.
Smokin' Joe Kilroy hold down the player and he's been sent to the sin bin. He won't be, er, released for five minutes. And Shearer scores! It's 14-6 at the break.
Bill Anderson interviews NSWRL boss John Quayle and asks him about the debut of expansion clubs Newcastle and the Gold Coast.
"I think people who said they're not going to be competitive have been proved wrong early on," says Quayle. One out of two ain't bad.
And from Mossop: "Manly don't seem to be playing very well."
Second half
The ONLY time a run-around would have actually worked and Chris Johns doesn't pass it. Meanwhile, Terry Matterson proves beyond any doubt that the toe-bash technique is superior to O'Connor's around-the-corner technique by nailing a penalty.
Now a try to Lewis! He brushes off Daley, Hasler, Matt Burke and Shearer to bullock his way over. Matterson misses the conversion to the left by about 20 or 30 metres. I'll rethink my previous statement.
Dowling is going very well, which is a good reminder that he was a great player before his current career, which is blowing up at pretty much everything. Matterson scores a try, converts and it's pretty much game over at 26-6.
Those were the days when you could A: Tackle players in the air and B: Players in the air could stick the knee out at people's faces for protection. A fine example there from Colin Scott.
Lewis bangs it into touch in a fairly standard bit of play. "Just the calm, cool, crisp kick of a champion footballer," says Mossop, certainly not showing any Manly bias. TV sets all over NSW switch off.
The touch judge comes on to report Dowling for something. He could potentially do that every set of six if he liked. They chat and everyone goes away. That's a lovely bit of officiating.
Even Billy Noke gets a try and that's well deserved. These days, players get rested and rotated. Noke played in the reserve grade game. It's 32-6.
I never realised to be honest but this must be one of Shearer's worst games for Manly. He throws a pass to nobody and Matterson scoops it up to score his second. "Spare me days... I hope he's not getting paid by the point!" chirps Mossop. Indeed!
Cliff Lyons gets a late one to make it 38-10. O'Connor couldn't kick a lazy mule today. He misses again and it's 38-10.
Kilroy, er, locks up the result with a late try. There's no way Manly will be able to get out of jail now. The Broncos flying high. It's 44-10.

A U.S. official says an insurgent attack on a British air base in southern Afghanistan has killed two American Marines and wounded several troops.
The official says the attack at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan's Helmand province involved a range of insurgent weaponry, possibly including mortars, rockets or rocket-propelled grenades, as well as small arms fire.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because U.S. military authorities in Afghanistan had not yet announced the battle.
Camp Bastion is a British air base and is adjacent to Camp Leatherneck, the main base for U.S. Marines in Helmand.
A number of aircraft at the base also were hit by insurgent fire, the official said.

I went back and looked at World War II. We had a population of about 140 million people in this country and we put almost 9% of that population into uniform. Today we have twice the population and we're trying to put about four-tenths of one percent of it into uniform. And we're facing a national security situation that is at least as dangerous, if not more dangerous, than we faced in World War II. This nation is who I'm concerned about. It's not an Army problem to recruit. It's a national challenge. (Story)

As a former Starbucks barista (and certified Coffee Master!) I am a serious coffee and tea nerd. For me, the only thing better than my morning coffee from my favourite café is a drink that I've prepared or made for myself. You can save a lot of money by investing in a coffee or esperesso machine for your own kitchen, and that's precisely why I'd love to share with you a few coffee and esperesso machines that will not only look fab in your kitchen, but fix you up a delicious cappuccino or cup of coffee.
Coffee & Espresso
If you're looking to make both filter coffee and espresso drinks at home, the Gaggia Espresso Pure Coffee Maker is your best bet. It has a coffee filter for either one or two cups of coffee, and has special filter for espresso pods! There's a steam wand for you to froth up hot milk for lattes and cappuccinos, as well as a hot water spout for your tea.
Espresso Drinks
If you love nothing more than a shot of espresso before rushing out of the house or enjoying foamy latte on a quiet Sunday morning, the DeLonghi Icona Espresso /Cappuccino Maker is your new best mate. A gorgeous blue colour, this machine can hold both ground espresso beans or espresso pods. You can easily steam up milk for a plethora of espresso based drinks, or a delicious hot chocolate.
Just Coffee
Fancy schmancy espresso drinks not your thing? If a cup of filter coffee with a splash of milk is all you need, the Morphy Richards Coffee Machine is just what you need. With a 10 cup capacity and permanent filter, this little coffee maker will not only give you delicious coffee, but it will look quite snazzy in your kitchen.

The uprisings in six countries in the Arab world generated tremendous optimism about a future for the Middle East that would include democratically elected governments committed to respecting the human rights of their citizens. Now, three years after the "Arab Spring" began, the situation looks dire, with the region still gripped by chaos and civil wars. Reporting back from her most recent trip to Egypt, Libya, and Syria (November 2013), Sara Leah Whitson will assess the human rights climate in each of these countries, and reflect on the immediate outcome of their revolutions.
Sarah Leah Whitson, director of Human Rights Watch's Middle East and North Africa Division, is a general expert on Middle East and North Africa issues. She has led landmark investigations of human rights conditions in Libya and Saudi Arabia and numerous advocacy missions in the region, and overseen over 20 research missions and edited the resulting reports. She has published articles on the Middle East in international and regional publications. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley and Harvard Law School. Whitson is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Prof. Schwedler will be the discussant.

But I'm looking forward to using my new Drill Press to make the piezo wire holes in the tremolo. :P
Nice!!! Cant wait to see the finished product. Are you modding graphtech saddles to the LR Baggs system or do you have another trick up your sleeve?Originally Posted by Baimun
Don't forget to also cut/drill notches in the wood for the wires so they don't get pinched when the tremolo is in use. Skitchy did 6 halfcircles on my Custom 22 which you can kind of see here:
Paul Reed Smith 7 - S t r i n g A c t i v i s t | Fueled by P T C
The LR Baggs saddles I have come with a small summing plate. I'll drill the saddles through, solder them to the summing plate and then glue that to the underside of the bridge (or maybe on the block).
then there's only one braided wire that goes from the summing board back to the preamp.
I decided to put the LR Baggs on this CU22 I've had sitting around for a while. All the finish had been sanded off of it when I got it including the face of the headstock (fortunately the serial number is still on the back of the headstock.)
I just glued a rosewood veneer to the headstock and glued a nut in place.
Looks good man!!!!!

Chasing Fragile Harmonics...
I'm doing the build as a blog over at the forum hosted at my buddy, Mark Wein's Guitar forum.
PRS + Piezo custom Build
Did a headstock overlay tonight.
This thread gets more and more intriguing every time I come for a look-see.
Is it wrong to be as excited by this as I presume you are?
'12 Mira Green Burst - '09 Cu24 Charcoal Burst - '09 SC250 Dark Cherry Burst - Taylor 514CE - Ibanez SR300 Bass - Mesa MkV Head & 1x12 Cab
Please keep updating this! I love these make-over threads.
Not like the other kids...
I just realized that the Mary Kay Soapy that Alan Rickman has in my avatar is probably the subliminal inspiration for this guitar.
A couple small steps tonight, but ones that you may find interesting.
I removed all 6 PRS saddles, and took apart the three allen screws holding the top plate (nickel plated brass) to the trem block (unplated brass), and drilled the six holes required to get the wiring for the piezo saddles through the bridge plate.
Here you can see that I tried to get the six holes as close to the block as possible. I slightly grouped in the outside two saddles as the little summing plate that the saddles solder to isn't as wide as the saddle spacing.
Reassembling the bridge. The little circuit board that the saddles all get soldered to is also in the picture. One braided cable will run from the bridge to the piezo preamp.
As I mount the saddles, you can see that I dremmeled each hole to include a smoother transition for the wire so they won't have any sharp edges to run across and break or cut through the casing and short out the saddle.
As soon as I figure out what drawer I put my #$@%^#$%&^ soldering equipment in, I'll stick this board to the block and solder all the connections.
I stumbled upon this old thread and I'm curious about the outcome...
Baimun hasn't logged in in over a year. I would also love to see the result. Maybe he couldn't ever remember which drawer his soldering equipment was in.
