How to make Macaron
The macaron's shop Acide is just steps away from my office in Paris.. A convenient excuse to spend longer time in it, the window display is an eye catcher. The amazing colors and scent are so unexpected. The speciality you may ask ? Malabar ( a french bubble gum to every kid in us ) and this one with citric acid, the classical ones are lemon, orange blossom, or salted butter toffee, very trendy at the moment. The head Patissier Jonathan Biot, former Plaza Athénée , has realised especially for PureTrend à Couture macaron, bespoke if you prefer.A unique chance to follow step by step the making and take some shots for my blog.....

Oil supply and temperature are critical when putting your VQ35DE engine through its paces. If your oil pickup becomes uncovered or your temperatures rise too high, catastrophic engine failure is just around the corner.
STILLEN's High Capacity Oil Pan ensures that your Z or G has an ample supply of oil. This upgrade allows for an additional quart of oil. The extra capacity will allow your VQ to run cooler and more efficiently. Our design expands into the available space below the engine, while keeping the pan within the protective confines of the chassis.
STILLEN's aluminum pan has cooling fins cast into it allowing heat to dissipate more effectively. An extension is provided for the oil pump pickup and new hardware is provided to attach everything to the engine. This simple, effective upgrade can be completed with normal hand tools. Complete instructions are provided.
Combine the STILLEN High Capacity Oil Pan with our STILLEN Oil Cooler for the 350Z and G35, and you now have a state of the art complete cooling solution for your oil system that keeps your VQ35DE's oil temp under control.

About STILLEN Parts & Accessories
Steve Millen Sportparts, Inc. and STILLEN humbly started their race to the front of the pack in 1986. Starting with aftermarket mini-truck appearance packages, we quickly found ourselves fulfilling customer's requests to build products for other vehicles such as vans and full-sized trucks.
With that came performance parts, suspension pieces, and upgraded brake products such as big brake systems. Capitalizing on his racing career, and knowing what it took to make sports cars perform like no other, it was only natural for Steve Millen to branch out into the import car scene. Over two decades later, we offer a full array of products encompassing styling, performance, handling, and braking products for just about any car, truck, or SUV.

"Life In Trinidad and Tobago" Port-of-Spain by tonypuck
Port-of-Spain Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 15 photos
Don't Let Bandits Take The Fun Out of Your Carnival Vacation
This is an advisory if you intend to visit Trinidad and Tobago for the local Carnival celebrations. Be assured that although Trinidad and Tobago is ranked next to Jamaica as one of the murder capitals of Caribbean most dangerous islands it is still a very safe place to visit.
There are a few things that you should know if you intend to visit Trinidad for the Carnival celebrations. This goes especially for visitors who have no friends and family in Trinidad. More so if you have never visited during the Carnival. Here are a few tips that the CIA Report or travel brochures would not mention.
Let's get this straight; "bandits" (the name given to robbery perpetrators in Trinidad and Tobago) can and will rob anyone at anytime.
The police service is not as efficient as the law abiding natives would wish. They are notorious for a low crime detection rate; currently less than 10 percent. Of course as a visitor you will get more attention but that does not amount to a hill-a-beans if you are hurt or lose your valuables. Here's what you need to know…
1. Blend In: Visitors are more vulnerable because they have a tendency to stand out in a crowd. Natives can easily identify a tourist by the way they are dressed, their accents and what they are carrying in their hand. Unfortunately, if you are Caucasian, you stand out even more. Regardless of your race do not do the following:
2. Dress: It is hot in Trinidad and most visitors tend to dress a lot lighter than they did in the cold climates. The warning is for women, do not wear skimpy alluring clothing be sensible you do not want to be marked out for an unforgivable sin. Everyone, men and women should not be adorned with jewels. Also leave your passport and travel documents in a safe place.
3. Private Transportation: Do not rent a car and drive aimlessly around Port of Spain or some other areas in Trinidad which were labeled hot spots during the recent State of Emergency. In fact, if you can avoid renting a vehicle, do so because if you came to enjoy the carnival you cannot use a vehicle in the places with most of the action. If you must rent a vehicle make sure and have a native who can direct you as to where not to go.
4. Public Transportation: You are safest in the government run buses that you can board in Port of Spain. These buses run throughout the country but they are not always very reliable. It may require some wait but if you get the schedule and be patient that is the safest way to make a trip say from Port of Spain to Arima. Believe it or not the next best and safest mode of transport are the maxi taxis that were mention earlier. Yes there have been a number of robberies on these vehicles but generally they are a safe and quick way to travel.
5. PH Transportation: You can also use the regular passenger sedan taxi which all start with the letter "H". Privately owned vehicles start with the letter "P" but they are also used as taxis. Locally they are known as "PH" taxis and there is no recognizable difference between a "PH" for hire and a privately owned vehicle except for the actions of the driver. They may see you standing on the side of the road and blow their horns or use hand signals to let you know that they are for hire. This mode of transportation as you would imagine is the most dangerous way to travel.
We hope that what you read here puts things in perspective for you. This was not written to scare you off or to ruin your Carnival vacation. This is an advisory and you can enjoy our tropical paradise with its beautiful sights and sounds. You will leave with a lifetime of Kodak moments to share with your family and friends. Have a great time in Trinidad and Tobago.
This article was written by T&T Carnival Visitors Concierge Services, find out how you can enjoy Trinidad and Tobago Carnival with the help of a native and get a free schedule of Carnival fetes. http://www.Trinidadandtobagobusiness.com

Remember that crazy video last week of the guy with the three-foot birdie putt in Scotland who chose to take the scenic route to knock it in? Click here if you need to refresh your memory.
In the spirit of that story, we put together a piece asking readers to share their wildest putt stories.
We read many a great tale based on your submissions.
But, there was one that stood out among the rest. It was from an Australian man named Matt Field.
Field wrote up this brief description before linking to a video: "I like to make simple things difficult..."
And, here's the video:
That was pretty cool.
I tracked down Field to learn more about the video. As it turns out, there was a purpose to what many of us might consider a trick putt.
"Putting the two balls is just a part of my practice to make sure I've got the putter face square," Field told PGA.com. "I got a bit bored so decided to try something different."
Field pulled off the "double putt" at Brookwater Golf Club in Queensland, Australia.
"Brookwater has a heavily sloped practice green so I thought 'why not?' The putt was about six feet, but I hit it about 20 feet past, up the hill and back in the hole. It took me about 10 attempts."
And when the two balls finally dropped into the cup?
"The people on the club balcony thought I was a bit weird when I high-fived myself!" Field said.

In Las Vegas, the Lakers are rated as best bets
LOS ANGELES — Ten and 12 may be the new lucky numbers in Las Vegas.
Those are the jersey numbers of recent Lakers acquisitions Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, otherwise known as the saviors of a franchise that stumbled in the Western Conference semifinals the last two seasons.
Bettors have such robust faith in the refortified Lakers that they have placed more wagers on them to win the 2013 NBA title than any other team at nearly a dozen Las Vegas sports books.
Yes, that includes the defending champion Miami Heat and the same Oklahoma City Thunder that quickly bounced the Lakers out of the playoffs this year. The Heat has slightly more money bet on it at several sports books but lags far behind the Lakers in terms of number of bets.
"People just keep betting them," Jay Kornegay, vice president of race and sports for the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, said of the Lakers, "and I can understand why."
Adding the game's best center and a soon-to-be Hall of Fame point guard to a roster already featuring Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol has made many bettors consider the Lakers a (purple and) gold ticket.
Kornegay said the Lakers have "by far the most tickets on them" to win the title at his sports book, where they have drawn more than twice the money to win the title than the Heat. The Lakers have four times as many bets placed on them at MGM Resorts than does the Heat.
This avalanche of wagers on the Lakers turned them into co-favorites to win the title this season, matching the same 9-4 odds as Miami and topping the Thunder's 4-1 odds, according to the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.
The resurgent Clippers are at 30-1 title odds as they continue to distance themselves from the franchise's days as a triple-digit long shot and rank No. 7 in terms of money bet.
Part of the Lakers' allure is the proximity of what has long been the most popular NBA franchise for casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. "We have way more California visitors than we do from Florida," said Jay Rood, vice president of race and sports at MGM Resorts, which encompass 10 sports books in Las Vegas and two in Reno.
Howard and Nash have also been major selling points among bettors.
The Lakers were listed at 12-1 by the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino before Nash joined the team in July. Those title odds improved to 6-1 with the two-time most valuable player in the fold.
Once Howard was traded to the Lakers last month, their championship odds lowered again, to 3-1. They received one final bump based on the ensuing flurry of bets on them to win a third title in five seasons.
"Nash started it all, but Howard put it over the top," Kornegay said. "As of right now, the sports books of Las Vegas definitely don't need the Lakers to win the championship."
At least one NBA coach has gone on record as saying they won't.
"We're going to beat the Lakers," Oklahoma City's Scott Brooks told reporters last week. He was joking. Or so it seemed at the time.
"We never worry about other teams," he said. "We focus on what we do."
Even with Nash and Howard on board, it's not apparent the Lakers have a ready-made solution to stop the Thunder's dazzling offense with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
The Thunder didn't make any significant offseason moves besides signing 7-foot-3 free agent Hasheem Thabeet, but it still possesses a few favorable matchups with the Lakers.
"Oklahoma City has an overwhelming speed and quickness advantage," ABC and ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy said, "but in the half-court, I think Howard's impact is really going to be felt."
It remains unclear whether Lamar Odom will make a difference for the Clippers considering his recent track record. The same player who was sixth man of the year with the Lakers sulked through a wasted season with the Dallas Mavericks.
Van Gundy said Odom, back with his first NBA team, could be on the verge of a career revival.
"Adding Lamar Odom, to me, is such an interesting pickup because I love the way he plays," Van Gundy said. "He's completely unselfish and hopefully he can bounce back from a really subpar year. If he can, boy, is that a huge upgrade for their team."
TNT analyst Steve Kerr said forward Blake Griffin's development will determine whether the Clippers become contenders in the Western Conference.
"He has to do what Karl Malone did after the first few years of his career," Kerr said. "He added a jump shot and started making free throws. When you could go to him on the block and get consistent scoring, it changed everything and I think that's the next step for the Clippers."
Miami wouldn't figure to need much help to defend its title after returning its Big Three, but the Heat received a boost with the signing of free agent Ray Allen as a reserve sharpshooter.
"This is not Ray Allen at 28 or 32 or even 34," Van Gundy said of the 37-year-old, "but certainly he had a very good year I thought last year. If he can stay healthy and make that adjustment 1 / 8to coming off the bench 3 / 8, his professionalism, his offensive energy, his shooting ability will do nothing but help an already great team."
The Lakers are widely considered a juggernaut because of an unrivaled starting lineup featuring Bryant, Howard, Nash, Gasol and Metta World Peace.
But can the star-studded roster pass a chemistry test in its first season together?
"I think it will happen quickly because they have guys who are really smart players between Kobe and Nash and Gasol in particular," Kerr said. "Those three guys are basketball savants and they're also all at the stage where they have nothing to prove individually, so all their efforts will go into trying to make this thing work."
A legion of Las Vegas bettors would seem to agree.

Basement Floor
There are floor levelers but you need to know the 'depth' of your floor's drop. Some levelers can only be 1" thick. Once you've determined what it will take to level your floor, you can go shopping for Floor Levelers.
As far as moisture, you need to determine the extent of your moisture. Cut a bunch of 2' x 2' pieces of plastic, tape ALL 4 SIDES COMPLETELY DOWN to the floor (no edge exposed), and wait 2-3 days. Then, carefully rip up the squares and determine if the moisture on the underside is more like condensation or 'pooling'. If it's the former, you're OK. If it's the later, you'll need to dehumidify. Of course, the 'denser' the moisture problem, the less options you have for material like glue and such. You may even need an indoor/outdoor carpet that can 'survive' higher-than-normal levels of moisture.
My best to ya and hope this helps.
Jay J -Moderator
As for a moisture barrier, I have also used UGL Drylock paint, a waterproofing paint. It is designed for walls, not floors, but should be o.k. if covered up. The oil-based UGl paint states on the label to not use it under carpeting, but the latex, water-based UGL paint has not such warning, so I would use it.
Finally, you can also use builder's felt. Trowel down a layer of asphalt mastic, and allow it to dry. Unroll 15-pound builder's felt on the floor, overlapping the edges by 4 inches. Trowel a second coat of mastic on top of it, and then lay a second layer of felt on top of that, with the same sized seams running parallel to, but between, the first layer's seams. Doing so should also help level a slightly unlevel floor.

N.B. The lines in italics are to be spoken in a catechise3 tone.
Confess, good folks, has not Miss Rusport shown,
Strange whims for SEVENTEEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE?
What, pawn her jewels! -- there's a precious plan!
To extricate from want a brave old man;
And fall in love with poverty and honor; 5 A girl of fortune, fashion! -- Fie upon her. But do not think we females of the stage,
So dead to the refinements of the age,
That we agree with our old-fashioned poet:
I am point-blank against him, and I'll show it: 10 And that my tongue may more politely run, Make me a lady -- Lady Blabington.
Now, with a rank and title to be free,
I'll make a catechism -- and you shall see,
What is the veritable Baume de Vie:4
As I change place, I stand for that, or this,
My Lady questions first -- then answers Miss.
(She speaks as my Lady.)
'Come, tell me, child, what were our modes and dress,
In those strange times of that old fright Queen Bess?' --
And now for Miss --
(She changes place, and speaks for Miss.)
When Bess was England's queen, 20Ladies were dismal beings, seldom seen;
They rose betimes, and breakfasted as soon
On beef and beer, then studied Greek till noon;
Unpainted cheeks with blush of health did glow,
Beruffed and fardingaled from top to toe,
Nor necks, nor ankles would they ever show.
Learnt Greek! -- (Laughs.) -- Our outside head takes half a day;
Have we much time to dress the inside, pray?
No heads dressed à la Grecque; the ancients quote,
There may be learning in a papillote:530
Cards are our classics; and I, Lady B.,
In learning will not yield to any she,
Of the late founded female university.
But now for Lady Blab --
(Speaks as my Lady.)
'Tell me, Miss Nancy,
What sports and what employments did they fancy?' 35
(Speaks as Miss.)
The vulgar creatures seldom left their houses,
But taught their children, worked, and loved their spouses;

IncGamers has teamed up with Gazillion for Marvel Heroes giving you the chance to take part in the beta test between Friday April 19th until Sunday April 21st.
Marvel Heroes is the upcoming ARPG from David Brevik, one of the creators of Diablo 1 and Diablo 2, where you will be able to play as your favourite Marvel characters. If you want to know more then check out our hands-on preview of the game.
Update: Our priority access period for PALs has come to an end so all remaining keys are now available for registered members.
All Keys are gone!
Once you have acquired your key follow these instructions.
- Register an account on MarvelHeroes.com
- After registration, click REDEEM KEY in the Account Management page.
- Enter the key *exactly as shown* (including hyphens) and no space before or after.
- Once you see the message key redeemed successfully click HERE to download the game client. Remember: While you will be able to install the game, you won't be able to access the game until 4/13/13. If you encounter any problems, please contact [email protected]
I'm an Incgamers site pal. Why can't I claim a key?
Thanks, Rush. Working now, I appreciate the quick assistance 🙂
Can I get a Beta Key?
what if I don't have paypal?
I changed my mind. I glanced over your site, and I would rather pay the $60 to gazillion for a beta key, than $2.50 for your beta key. My reasoning is that this site is not properly run. I understand full well your premium features business model, however if that's the case then you need to be able to accept more than one method of payment. As a side note, claiming that advertising fees do not generate enough income, means that you need to charge more for advertising. Not charge your community. If your advertisers will not pay more, then you need to generate more traffic to the site in order to justify the increase in cost. A good example of this would be "From April 18-21, we are running a promotion with Gazillion. We expect a higher than normal traffic during those days, therefore we will be charging more for advertising on those days." If Gazillion gives you beta keys to give away so they can stress test, then you need to give away those keys. Otherwise, if you charge for them, like you are, you are likely to burn your relationship with them and not be offered future promotions. More promotions means, more traffic. More traffic means your advertisers are paying more per day, and even more on premium days when you expect a rise in traffic. This is why I refuse to support your company. Failing businesses sometimes just need to have their funding cut off, and eventually do what they do best. Fail.
I saw the priority access. I understand the need to "look after supporters", however you're not going to gain any market share by excluding non-members. This post was originally made 3 days ago now, and you're still waiting for supporters to decide if they want access or not. They've had their chance.
I'm well aware of website business models. You're running a combination of freemium, advertising (CPM rates presumably), and bait & hook. Pick one and stick with it. All the models work great alone, but conflict together. You were blessed with a better beta key weekend than ign was. Take advantage of it, rather than ward off new members. Or perhaps instead of more writers, try more advertising. I've never heard of your site until yesterday. It's been over a decade, and users are still the financial lifeline business. Why would a user want to pay you, when they can get the same content for free somewhere else?
If Gazillion agreed to that, then someone over in their promotions department needs to be fired. Letting another company capitalize off your own promotion, is not good business sense. If you're not the only ones doing that, then they need to find better contacts, however justifying it with "we're just doing what our competitors are doing" does not make it right either. In order to gain any of their market share, you need to rise above them. Not stoop down to their level.
Do some research before running a business, it always helps.
My key isn't working. 🙁
I absolutely agree that ad blocking has negatively impacted web based businesses. Just like piracy has affected the movie industry. You need to work passed it, and find another way. Maybe try coding the links within your website to the same coding that's used for advertisements. Then users have to turn off ad blockers in order to see site content.
I understand the words priority access. Now understand the words "market share". The more you have, the more money you make. You should be taking my outrage as a sign of what the market is already telling you. What is your conversion rate of free users to paying supporters? Probably not very high, due to the initial impression of your site. As inflation rises you need to either get more supporters, find another revenue stream, or ask for larger donations. About 4% gross revenue/annum, is enough of a growth to keep up with inflation. Any less and you're shrinking, and more is real growth. So if you gain 6% gross revenue, you actually only grew 2%. Eventually you need to grow to a point where you don't need your supporters to stay afloat. You're not only charging users to remove the ads, you're advertising it on your forums that there's a free alternative. If you are going to charge users, then like I said before, you need to accept more methods of payment. I absolutely would've impulse bought a beta key for $2.50. Then I started looking through your site and changed my mind.
The fact that you didn't just delete my original post and take this to e-mails is fairly un-professional and very inviting for trolls to see if they to can get a reaction from you.
I don't doubt that you've been selling advertising for 7 years. I'm not questioning the site's ability to function, I'm questioning the sites ability to do well. Perhaps finding advertisements of stuff gamers actually care about would be a good start. I see you have netflix banners. Nothing wrong with netflix, but if pc gamers are as tech savvy as you claim them to be, and can find ad blocking software, then they know how to pirate everything on netflix and more. I see another banner for efax. When was the last time anyone sent a fax, let alone pc gamers? I also see a massive open space on both sides of the page. Lots of text advertisements can go there, or jpeg images with a text link underneath it. It's also not just advertising that I'm bringing into question. Charging your community for free services is a fairly simple method of increasing revenue streams. The best decisions are not always the easy ones. However, if you're going to do it, do it right and have more methods of payment.
If you want a larger user base, then your entire staff needs to show that this is their passion. You need passionate salespeople so sell advertisements, writers that love giving their actual opinion rather than the opinion that the publishers push, bully, or pay you to have. A cold hard truth approach might not be a bad idea, rather than beat around the bush with journalism wording. I don't think the majority of the pc gaming community understands your beat around the bush approach. Get on their level. Not as far as using l33t speak in your reviews, but at least give them a straight up opinion. If you're not sure what the community wants, ask and then listen to what they have to say.
My beta key didn't work. 🙁
Got key and am enjoying so far. Thanks Rush 😀
My key isn't working….
I think the beta was a weekend one (19-21 April,) so that's likely the reason.
Yep my key is not working also..
As above: I believe it was a beta weekend, so the key would work between 19-21 April.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This moisturizer is alright but I really miss the old (much less expensive) version. This one just isn't the same. It doesn't moisturize as well and stings the skin a bit when you put it on. I would love it if they brought back the old version.
I've been using the rosa mosqueta face line for 5 years and absolutely love their products. I was a little sad because the old line of rosa mosueta has changed, but i've fallen in love all over again. This moisturizer is much more luxurious and just a small amount keeps my skin soft and moisturized all day. I actually love it more than the previous one. Thank you Aubrey Organics!!!

I don't think EQG would be all that bad. It's just not in my personal preference. For me, I think one of the best parts of enjoying MLP and being in the fandom is the vast diversity of music and art and everything. The show is amazing. But, I feel as though EQG is straying far from what I am used to, so I do not care much for it at the moment. However, that is how I originally viewed MLP, so things will probably change. For now, I'm not fully embracing EQG, but I don't hate it either, and it'll definitely be interesting.

BAD Hard Drive
This review is from: DELL Laptop Inspiron 14z (i14z-1424BK) Intel Core i3 2350M (2.30 GHz) 4 GB Memory 500 GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 3000 14.0" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: It's very lightweight, fast as advertised, easy to set up. Love the look and feel overall.
Cons: Less than 24 hours of ownership, the hard drive fried. Needless to say, I was unimpressed. Dell would not pay to have a new hard drive overnighted, so, I have to wait 2-3 days. But hey ! They're going to call me to see if I received it !

This review is from: DELL Laptop Inspiron 14z (i14z-1424BK) Intel Core i3 2350M (2.30 GHz) 4 GB Memory 500 GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 3000 14.0" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: *Aluminum cover is nice very clean look
Cons: *dell bloatware some of it is use full like the snip it app but mostly annoying easy to remove though
Other Thoughts: My initial impression is good the device feels and looks solid. Bottom line is its a no brainer for somene that just needs a laptop to get the job done but also want solid computer that isnt cheap or flimsy feeling. I would highly recomend to college students its a baseline priced computer with some high end features. If your a gamer or a techy person this might not be a good fit due to lack of dedicated graphics and though the 2nd gen i3 performs well you may want something with a little more umf for intensive task.

Can Rajon Rondo keep his double-digit assist streak alive north of the border against the Raptors?After seven straight games against playoff-level opponents, things ease up (slightly) for the Boston Celtics (34-24, 13-15 away) as they visit the Toronto Raptors (20-39, 11-19 home) on Friday night at the Air Canada Centre (7 p.m., CSN). While the Raptors have struggled, this actually marks the start of a grueling stretch for Boston, kicking off its only back-to-back-to-back of the season. To preview the matchup, we play a game of 2-on-2 with colleague Greg Payne.
1. What will you be focused on when the Celtics visit the Raptors?
Payne: A fast start tonight will be crucial, because the Celtics can do themselves a host of favors by beating up on the Raptors early and cruising to an easier win tonight. Given the back-to-back-to-back beginning tonight, Boston should be looking to garner as much rest as possible for its veterans, and tonight's a perfect opportunity for just that. The C's have already beaten up on the Raptors twice this season -- two of the seemingly rare times they've out-rebounded an opponent -- so there's no question the potential is there for an easier victory. Getting guys rest at the start of this grueling three-game stretch could go a long way towards making the following two games much easier to bear.
Forsberg: Being the first game against a non-playoff team this month, it will be interesting to see Boston's intensity level out of the gates. They haven't had to worry about playing down to an opponent in a while. But the Raptors are woeful on the offensive side of the ball and so long as the Celtics brought their defense's passport, there's a chance here to start this trip on the right foot. That said, for all their overall struggles this season, first-year head coach Dwane Casey seems to have Toronto going in the right direction on the defensive end. The Raptors are middle-of-the-pack overall (allowing 0.925 points per play, 18th in the league, according to Synergy Sports data), but Toronto actually ranks second in the league in defending spot-up shooting (which accounts for a whopping 19.5 percent of opponents' total plays and foes are averaging a mere 0.871 points per play). The Celtics need to exploit other areas, like Toronto's inability to defend ball-handlers in the pick-and-roll.
2. The dreaded back-to-back-to-back has arrived. The Celtics will play five games over the next six nights in five different cities. How exactly does Doc Rivers provide rest to his players during this stretch?
Payne: I think Rivers definitely has to rest his guys for at least one of these games. Most likely it'll be on Sunday, but it wouldn't shock me if he held guys out of Saturday's game against the Nets, that way they aren't playing another back-to-back on the heels of Tuesday and Wednesday's exhausting efforts. The schedule is interesting, though, because if Rivers plays guys tonight and tomorrow and holds them out on Sunday, he'll be giving them two consecutive days off before Tuesday's tilt against the Knicks. But, if he holds guys out on Saturday only, he'll be creating more of a normalized schedule for them with standard rest in between games. I'm sure Doc will consult with his players and determine from there what the best course of action is.
Forsberg: So long as the Celtics take care of business Friday night, I think it makes an awful lot of sense to consider holding out the veterans on Saturday in New Jersey. By doing that, you eliminate much of what's daunting about the back-to-back-to-back as key players could rest Saturday and be fresh for Sunday's visit to Charlotte. Why not roll the dice with a junior varsity lineup against New Jersey? Younger guys -- like rookies JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore -- could get a rare opportunity for extended court time and you don't run the risk of over-exerting the likes of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. The urge is going to be to go hard each game because of the tightness of the standings with eight games to go, but Rivers remains adamant that health is more importnat than seeding, so he needs to show it this weekend.

Choosing a Fragrance for Her
Choosing the right gift for the most important women in your life is a challenge, but finding a signature scent is one way to achieve this goal while making the gift recipient happy. Consider the following points before picking out a scent that she will love:
• If you see the gift recipient regularly, try to track down a scent that she already likes. Noticing the bottles on the bathroom counter is one way to determine what she wants when you buy a scented gift.
• Take her personality into consideration when you are shopping. Does she seem to be in tune with nature? An earthy scent may be best. Is she an ultra-feminine woman who loves to look her best? Floral scents often complement the style of women who love girly accessories.
• Try out the scents before you make a purchase. While you do not have to buy perfume in a brick-and-mortar store, you can still head over to the nearest department store to spritz the tester bottles for a quick sniff. This gives you the opportunity to find out which scents are too overpowering to be enjoyable.
If you are worried that she will not like the signature scent that you choose, purchase a small bottle for her to try out. Since the cost will be reduced due to the size of the bottle, you could buy two or more perfumes to gift!

LinPlug is a German developer that offers a variety of VSTinstruments for Windows, Mac OS 9, and Mac OS X. The plug-ins useserial-number copy protection and are available as downloads or on CD.Conveniently, the CD ($4.99) contains all LinPlug products, so afteryou receive it, you can buy the serial numbers for the products youwant. Beware: these synths are addictive — you'll probably wantmore than one.
LinPlug's two top-of-the-line synthesizers, Albino ($149) and DeltaIII ($99), share the same modular architecture. They have four slotsfor oscillators, two for filters, eight for envelope generators, fourfor LFOs, and two for effects. Audio routing is accomplished withbuttons adjacent to each slot. For example, the output of the firstoscillator can be routed to either or both filters, or to the secondoscillator for amplitude or frequency modulation. Similarly, the firstfilter can be routed to either or both effects, or to the secondfilter. A modulation matrix that allows eight source-amount-destinationassignments controls routing for the envelope generators and LFOs. Inaddition, seven of the envelope generators are automatically routed— one for each oscillator level, two for the filter cutoffs, andone for output level.
The difference between Albino and Delta III is in the modulesprovided to fill the slots. Each offers digital and analog-modeledoscillators as well as a noise source, but the synths have differentfeatures and waveforms, hence different sounds. Delta III has threemultimode filter modules: Delta 2 (held over from the previous versionof the Delta synth), Delta III, and CronoX (from the CronoX 2 samplingsynth). Albino has updated versions of the Delta III and CronoXfilters, dubbed Silk and Cream, an apparent allusion to their smoothsound.
Delta III has five effects modules: chorus, delay, filter, phaser,and reverb. Albino adds a stereo delay. The envelope generators are thesame for both synths — one with five time-and-level stages and anADSFR that adds a fade stage to the standard ADSR format. The Albinofive-stage envelope has a looping feature not found on the Delta III.The multiwaveform LFOs can sync to tempo; on Albino, they have a monomode.
Albino results from a collaboration with Dutch sound designer RobPapen, author of many of the factory presets for the Access Virus andE-mu Orbit 3. In addition to contributing custom oscillator waveformsand the filter updates, he created Albino's 550 factory presets. Bothsynths sound great, and they do sound different. You get a lot ofprogramming options, but they can also take a bite out of your CPU.Three instances of Delta III brought my PowerBook G4/800 MHz to itsknees.
CronoX 2 ($59) is LinPlug's most unusual offering. Like Albino andDelta III, it is modular in design, but three of its four oscillatormodules are sample based. When you load a single sample into CronoX 2,the oscillators process it in different ways. The TimeSamp oscillatoroffers independent pitch shifting and time stretching, and thetime-stretch amount can be modulated. The Schrader oscillator treatsthe sample like a wavetable. The Loop Sampler is a conventional sampleplayer with start and loop points that can be modulated, which meansthat the results are not at all conventional. CronoX 2 has slots fortwo oscillators, which are mixed and fed into a multimode filter with adedicated ADSFR envelope generator. An additional ADSFR and two LFOsare routed by means of an eight-by-eight modulation matrix.
CronoX 2 offers an overdrive unit and a multi-effects processorfeaturing chorus, filter, phaser, reverb, and stereo delay. The beautyof CronoX 2 is definitely in what it can do to your samples. The MP3file CronovoX is an example applied to a speech clip.
LinPlug also offers a number of standard-fare instruments. Alpha($29) is a two-oscillator subtractive synthesizer with a multimodefilter, two ADSFR envelope generators, and a syncable LFO. A free,feature-limited version of Alpha is also available. DaOrgan ($39) is anemulation of a drawbar organ with a built-in Leslie. Element P ($39) isan analog percussion synth, and RM III Pro Drum ($59) is an 18-pad,24-note drum sampler that includes a collection of drum kits.
LinPlug's instruments are attractively priced and get the job done.Although the premium synths are not cheap, if you're not alreadycovered in those categories and you're looking for versatility andquality, they definitely deserve a look.

Wylie East (2-8, 0-7). Coach: Joe Lepsis.
THE BIG QUESTION: Will defense or offense win a championship?
The battle for the District 10-4A championship will be a two-man show again in 2011, starring the same two acts.
Highland Park enters the year as one of the top returning offenses in the area, boasting the triplets of QB Brady Burgin, WR Dalton Stogner and RB Preston Miller. The Scots run the spread with precision, clearing the way for Miller to run through defenses out of the traditional spread halfback position or receiving snaps out of the wildcat formation.
Challenging Highland Park again for the district top spot is Wylie, which returns at least one starter in every position group on defense.
However, Wylie's question marks on offense -- especially at quarterback --make it the dark horse to beat out Highland Park. But it's a situation Wylie is well accustomed to. The Pirates were a dark horse throughout the playoffs last season after finishing second in District 10-4A and rode their way all the way to the Division I state semifinals.
WR Dalton Stogner, QB Brady Burgin, RB Preston Miller, OT Tanner Stone, Highland Park; WR Quentin Casner, QB Robert Somborn, McKinney; QB Hunter Walling, RB Devin Smith, WR Sam Lucania, McKinney North; ATH Corey Coleman, DB Cameron O'Reilly, Pearce; QB Wesley Davis, DL Robert Hurd, LB Jared Farrow, Rockwall; WR Amaris Fields, RB Jovan Hernandez, DE Jay Arnold, LB Raaquan Davis, Rockwall-Heath; OL Kyle Fuller, DB Terrell Burt, DL Noble Nwachukwu, LB Sean Watts, Wylie; ATH Jabari Anderson, WR Marcell Ateman, Wylie East.
Rockwall-Heath RB Jovan Hernandez was one of the top hitters in the area last season for the Rockwall-Heath baseball team, helping the Hawks reach the 4A regional finals. … Wylie East is entering its second year of varsity football and is still looking for its first district win.

Since we last visited HarlemBoyz...
Harlem Boyz brings you lots of thugs and gangster types getting it on hardcore style. If you like men to have that straight appeal, or a somewhat rough and tough vibe, then these hung men should fulfill your needs. Many of these ebony cocks would make any bottom quake in his boots with a mix of fear and anticipation. From the expressions of painful ecstasy on some of these dudes' faces, taking on some of these schlongs requires some real cojones.
You end up on the Gay Porn Mega Sites' homepage when you first sign in and you can find the porn that features guys from Harlem by filtering the content in the video and photo sections by site. You need to adjust the filter settings whenever you venture into a different area, though, and it's a bit of a hassle.
HarlemBoyz has 119 good-quality videos available for download in Windows Media files, in addition to MP4 files for mobile devices. There are solo scenes and mutual masturbation. You'll even see a set of twins who have a jerk-off competition to see who can cum the most. I won't tell you which of the brothers comes out on top, but in the end we're all winners.
Then, of course, there's the hardcore action. You'll get to enjoy dark-chocolate stallions, a fewer lighter-skinned studs and ebony hotties with some Latin flavor. These hunks are often chiseled chunks of pure muscle, with killer abs, bulging biceps, firm thighs and tight bubble butts. Seeing them flexing as they're getting their sex on is a real meaty feast for the senses.
You'll see a few threesomes, including my favorite, "Class Cock Reunion," where three dudes get together for some intense threesome sex. I loved seeing one guy down on all fours getting it from behind while his Top was also getting nailed up his tight bum. Apparently, they're reliving some cool locker-room memories.
There are also 19 photo sets. My favorite model among the bunch is a guy with blonde dreadlocks, pierced nipples and a tattoo of an Egyptian eye of Horus around his bellybutton. There are high-res pics to be had and you can download your favorite galleries in handy Zip files.
As a member, you get access to content from five additional websites, including Boys From Prague, Daddy Raunch and SD Boy. You can also check out a few video feeds. These extras come in handy, because Harlem Boyz hasn't updated since 2011. It's disappointing that the website doesn't have any fresh porn to share with us, but it's still a pretty decent source for all-black hardcore.

SEC athletes I'm good with
STRENGTHS: Possesses a long, lean build well-suited to today's pass-happy NFL. Reads the quarterback's eyes and is a smooth accelerator, showing a burst to close on underneath routes. Times his leaps well in jump-ball situations and extends his arms to make a play at its highest point. Excellent ball skills, including the ability to track the ball over his shoulder, extend to catch away from his frame and the ability to sneak his hands under the ball to corral pass deflections.
Athletic enough to occasionally drop down to cover slot receivers. Has the long arms to re-route receivers and is balanced enough to cover short distances. Reads run quickly and flashes aggression to support. Long, strong arms for the pull-down tackle and occasionally will lower his shoulder for the big hit. Highly respected by coaching staff for his work ethic.
WEAKNESSES: A bit of a 'tweener. May lack the athleticism for deep coverage and the physicality necessary to play well closer to the line of scrimmage. Does not possess ideal hip fluidity and foot quickness to operate as a true centerfielder against an NFL passing attack. Loses a step as he changes directions and does not have great speed to recover.
Does too much grabbing and dragging as an open-field tackler, and when he does attempt to lower the boom has a tendency to duck his head and lunge. Takes questionable angles to the ball, underestimating the speed of ball-carriers and not proving to be a reliable last line of defense.
COMPARES TO: Kerry Rhodes, FS, Arizona Cardinals: Like the 6-3, 212-pound Rhodes, Lester has the size, closing speed and ball skills to develop into a dependable ball-hawk at the next level.

Welcome !
Awesome, he was my top UDFA I wanted! now on to TE Joseph Fauria
Very nice.
Guy was an early second rounder last offseason if he came out an many thought he'd rise throughout the draft process.
Then he went back to school, hired his mom to play for him in his place, and then showed up at the senior bowl and didn't actually bother to show he had any familiarity with the sport during the week.
We'll see who shows up. Worth trying out.
The sad part is Lester could legitimately be in the running for starter at SS and it really wouldn't surprise me if he won the job.

is that your way of saying you like the pick up?
What happened to him that he became a udfa?
What happened to him that he became a udfa?
He played beside some 1st round talent...teams pry targeted him. He was 2nd in the country in INTS in 2010. He also ran a slower forty....for a safety
4/24/13: Lester was quiet in the early going of 2012, but played better later in the season. He picked up 48 tackles, 3.5 tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks, three passes broken up and four interceptions for the year. Lester had good games against Tennessee and Mississippi State with some struggles against LSU and Texas A&M. He didn't impress at the Senior Bowl or Combine, and his stock has fallen.
Solid highlight vid, I also like he played against top notch competition. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qRzzXYyA16M
This is a guy I have wanted all along. Hopefully they can coach him up and get some football out of him.
man this is a great UDFA signing

A New Era in Corporate Property Management
Shearer, Kenneth A., Journal of Property Management
A new era in corporate property management After years of relative indifference, many corporations are recognizing the value of operating their properties more professionally. Many factors have contributed to this growing awareness. Fear of takeover attempts had prompted some corporations to streamline their real estate holdings. Recent SEC requirements that the rental costs be carried on corporate balance sheets have forced companies to recognize the true cost of occupancy. In some cases, the presence of a new, more cost-conscious chief executive or board member marks an increased emphasis on more efficient operation of the premises.
Regardless of the reasons, this trend represents both a recognition of the value of professional management and an opportunity for the management firm to serve as a consultant for applying property management techniques in the corporate environment.
In the past, corporations have too often buried the cost of building operations in everhead and ignored actual costs. There may have been a building budget, but it was rarely monitored closely.
Many corporations further increased their occupancy costs by adding inappropriate charges, such as furniture repair or porters used in functions other than occupancy, into a facilities budget. In one company at which Cushman and Wakefield consulted, each department had a porter, who essentially functions as a "go-for" for the department. In New York City, a porter's salary may reach $30,000 a year, including benefits. When the costs were charged directly to the departments instead of to building overhead, most department heads found that they could do without these employees.
At the same time, it is often difficult for a corporate facilities manager to reduce the costs of building operation. Political pressures from executives who demand one service or another may add up to significant expenditures. Often the facilities manager sees his or her principal job as "keeping the bosses happy," rather than minimizing costs.
In such instances, hiring an outside consultant to assess the facilities management operation may be the answer to lowering costs. An independent property management consultant hired by top management is less likely to be restricted by company sacred cows.
Analyzing a corporate
facilities program
An awareness of costs is the first step for a corporation interested in lowering costs, leasing space to other tenants, or selling a building. Reviewing the staff of the facilities management department is a good place to begin assessing operating costs.
In the first phase of a facilities audit, a consultant may begin by interviewing every employee and determining exactly what each does and why he or she does it. In some cases, facilities staff size has grown to the point that productivity is not high. Often staff supervision can be consolidated in fewer hands to reduce management costs.
Staff painters, electricians, or carpenters may not have enough direct building work to keep them busy, so they are used to do more menial jobs or work that does not necessarily need to be done.
Often a more compact staff can perform the same services with the assistance of some outside contractors. For example, if an outside contractor's painter or electrician does not have enough work at one location to keep busy, he or she is sent somewhere else. This reduces cost at each location.
In addition to reviewing and revising employees' job descriptions, an outside facilities-cost consultant will review maintenance and operations procedures to determine ways to improve efficiency. Cleaning is one of the single largest recurring costs in most building operations and usually presents great opportunities for savings. Of course, most buildings could be cleaned less often, but that is usually not acceptable to corporate owners.
A more productive way to reduce costs is by eliminating work that is probably not done anyway. …

Lifestyle Lift @ Tampa, FL
Show More Dr. Jason Swerdloff, MD serves as the Lifestyle Lift FL Medical Director Southeast and Northeast Regions specializing in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. Swerdloff is the most down to earth, soft spoken, easiest person to talk to. He understood exactly what concerns I had and how to get me the great results he did. The surgery is pain free. I was shocked that I felt nothing nor did I remember anything except him speaking softly with me then I was asleep. Very little pain with the Lifestyle Lift, I took one pain pill then switched to Extra Strength Tylenol, slept in my recliner while healing, ice pack's keeping any swelling down. Even lost a couple pounds, happy :). I would do this again and highly recommend Dr. Swerdloff he is excellent!

Asaf Romirowsky, who recently contributed to inFocus, was just blackballed from an academic panel at the University of Delaware because U of D political scientist Muqtedar Khan didn't want to appear with a veteran of the Israeli Defense Forces. Michael Rubin offers an excellent synopsis of this outrage on National Review Online's The Corner today, demonstrating yet again how academic extremism has become so commonplace on American campuses.
The program, which has now come and gone, was organized by several student groups. After bending to Khan's demands, the school offered Romirowsky to come to campus next week and speak alone. Romirowsky should flatly refuse. The University has soiled its good name by giving in to Khan's hate-mongering tactics.
Khan, for his part, is a Pentagon consultant. The Defense Department should consider this grounds for terminating that relationship.

Laura, I have to speak at the Pentagon tomorrow. My workshop is from 12-4. I hope to catch the 5 pm Acela from DC and will be back in town by 7 pm. I will come directly, but may be late. I am also not sure how I feel about being on the same panel with an Israeli soldier who was stationed in West Bank. Some people see IDF as an occupying force in the West Bank. I am not sure that I will be comfortable occupying the same space with him. It is not fair to spring this surprise on me at the last moment.

About Me
To discover the world and all the nice people out there!!
I'm a 24 years old mostly happy and uncomplicated girl. Except for working I'm studying Bachelor's Programme in Personnel, Work and Organization at Stockholm University since beginning of 2014.
As a person I'm pretty organized and maybe a bit pedantic if you ask some of my friends :P
In spite of that, I'm kind of flexible and love to meet up with people and do stuff all the time.
I enjoy life and I'm curious about new places and new people. That's why I became a member of CS.
- Don´t worry, be happy! :)
- Be yourself; everyone else is already taken!
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I hang out now and then with couchsurfers here in Stockholm, I sometimes go to the regular meetings and I also have been surfing around in Europe when I've been doing the interail. I can sometimes host, when it fit in my schedule, otherwise I'm quite often able to meet up and hang around :)
I only have good experiences of Couchsurfing. I have met so many awesome people and the community is just fantastic in many different ways. I'm hosting a bit and in 2012 and 2015 I've been doing couch surfing in different cities around Europe. I'm really looking forward to meet more new people and to get more experience from CS.
I would say my largest interests are music and dance.
As a kid I was dancing a lot and now I just started to take some classes again after a few years break!! I've danced mixed styles: jazz, ballet, contemporary, street dance, ragga but now I'm just doing jazz and ballet. Growing up in a music family, I've always been intrested in music and I love to sing. Spotify is my best friend and I listen to music almost all the time :) I also played the flute during 7 years and a couple of years in an orchestra.
I've also always been interested in photographing and I love my camera and photoshop even though I'm really not an expert :P
I also love the nature and to receive all the energy that the nature gives to you!
Aside from these interests I love to meet new people, go skiing, eat, stay up all night long, travel, party, swim and discover new places on our beautiful planet earth!
Music, Movies, and Books
My taste in music is very diverse depending on which mood I'm in and what I'm up to at the moment. I appreciate most genres but this is the kind of music that I think I like or at least listen to the most: (Soul, Blues, Jazz, R&B, Pop, Electropop, World Music) Norah Jones, Sade, Angie Stone, India.Arie, Joss Stone, Jamie Cullum, Chet Baker, Fatoumata Diawara, Buika, Yuna, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, James Blake, Laleh, Bo Kaspers Orkester, Ratatat, The xx, Robyn, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday just to mention a few
I really enjoy all these hopeless romantic movies, action comedy's with Jackie Chan but also movies like
"V for Vendetta", "Amélie", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "Inception", "Slumdog millionaire", "In Time", "the Intouchables", "Pride" and of course musicals like Burlesque and Mamma Mia (seen them a hundred of times!)
TV series:
I don't watch that much series but I love "New Girl" and "Friends" :D
Unfortunately I don't read that much. I think I'm a bit of an outdoor reader. I'm mostly reading during the summer, outside, lying in the grass or at the beach!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
As a kid I was on a tour with a musical play. We were traveling around in Sweden performing in different cities. A great memory that I will never forget :)
Traveling around by train and couchsurfing in Europe. One time with company and one time alone.
Traveling alone in Thailand! Great experience that I would love to do again!
Teach, Learn, Share
I have realized that many people don't know so much about Sweden. When I'm out traveling people often confuse Sweden and Switzerland, many people think that we only have snow and that we have polar bears in the streets and above all many people actually think that everybody in Sweden are blond with blue eyes. So what I can offer you is to give you a more correct picture of my dear country, Sweden :)

African Art Museum of MarylandRead MoreHave fun looking at all the lovely pieces on display at Columbia's African Art Museum of Maryland. Parking is plentiful, so visitors can feel free to bring their vehicles.5430 Vantage Point RoadColumbia, MD US
Columbia Association / Columbia Ice RinkRead MoreAt the Columbia Association, visitors find not only a place to work out, swim, or enjoy the great outdoors, but a place to connect with the local community and get to know their neighbors. Families take in live music by the lakefront during summer festivals, or glide across the ice at the public rink. Meanwhile, aspiring athletes build muscle, flexibility, and form with practice at indoor and outdoor tennis courts, or regular trips to the high-tech Columbia Gym. Columbia Association also helps its members maintain a healthy lifestyle with a wide variety of facilities, including nearby golf courses, 23 swimming pools, and even an attached horse center, where humans can learn to ride and horses can get in shape for swimsuit season.6151 Day Long Ln.Clarksville, MD US
Round Trip SportsRead MoreAs a baseball complex devoted entirely to helping young ballplayers achieve their potential, Round Trip Sports' 7,500 square feet of turfed surface is a breeding ground for the pro sluggers and fielders of tomorrow. Batters perfect their swings in one of three 72-foot hitting tunnels equipped with pitching machines, and pitchers take the mound in one of three 72-foot pitching lanes to practice their fastballs and curveballs. The facility also features fast and slow pitching machines for softball players, and a lobby equipped with TV and WiFi. But all the equipment would be moot without proper guidance, which is why all of Round Trip Sports' instructors are former college players and major leaguers. They lead clinics and camps for kids of all ages, with specified sessions focusing on topics such as speed and agility and strength and coordination. And then there are the camps and the clinics, where experienced instructors and veteran ballplayers impart the fundamentals necessary to the game: batting, pitching, fielding, and the secret hand signal for "hot dog, hold the mustard."16778 Oakmont AvenueGaithersburg, MD US
Raiders EdgeRead MoreSpanning 18,000 square feet of turf-covered courts and batting cages, Raider's Edge hones bat-swinging skills with practice areas and instruction for individuals and groups. Baseball- and softball-pitching machines spit endless volleys of spheres, their speeds adjustable to accommodate both little leaguers and six-armed spider-men. The two spacious turf courts can also accommodate practice for soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey, and dual pitching lanes allow pitchers to perfect their craft side by side. Weekly exercise and softball practice programs focus on skills such as hitting, fielding, and pitching, and young players put their skills into practice as part of Raider's Edge's Red Raider softball teams.8345 Beechcraft AveGaithersburg, MD US
Liberty Road Golf CenterRead MoreLiberty Road Golf Center's multifaceted facilities help golfers fine-tune swings with every club in their bag. Piercing drives, pinpoint approaches, and remote-controlled flop shots take flight from the Center's 20-stall driving range before touching down in a field peppered with yardage-marked flags and realistic faux bunkers to simulate on-course targets. A stint at the short-game practice area preps clubbers for a round at the nine-hole, par 3 course, where players launch tee shots onto slick, artificial greens and punish egotistical drivers by making them sit out for the round. While practice areas sharpen swings, master club tinkerer Mark J. Diley re-grips, re-shafts, and repairs clubs, and the center offers rental drivers and 6-irons for those without their own set. The Center also encompasses outdoor batting cages, where mechanical hurlers sling softballs and baseballs at eight different speed settings.10810 Liberty RdFrederick, MD US
Woody's Golf RangeRead MoreKomodo dragons, quicksand, and headhunter's darts are just some of the dangers that lurk in the jungle depths of the Perils of the Lost Jungle miniature golf course at Woody's Golf Range, whose innovative attractions caught the eye of The Washington Post and earned it a place in Newsweek Magazine's recommended mini-golf courses in 2005. Harder hitting clubs hone their swings at the driving range. Golfers can spend their time there digging up divots in Patriot-Bermuda-grass hitting stations or sending balls whistling over AstroTurf mats. The range's heated, lighted, and covered stalls let players practice year-round. Along with separate practice areas for pitching and chipping, a sand trap invites golfers to practice the best way to get out of a bad lie—by digging an escape tunnel. Guests can trade in their clubs for bats at four softball cages and five baseball cages, and themed picnic areas enable groups to turn their visit into a day-long extravaganza.11801 Leesburg PikeHerndon, VA US

can someone give me an overview of this new baby called santacruz V-11. has anyone rode or maybe own one?
There is no V-11......are you talking about the new V-10?
DJRider do you ride with a soul cycles bike?
Im the king of scrabble
There is none higher
Got 11 points with the word quagmire
I don't think anyone here has really put any time on one. El Jefe has one and used to come here quite a bit but he mostly hangs out on ridemonkey.com
I am pretty sure between 2003 and 2004 (or maybe 2004 and 05) they changed the geometry to make it a little more rideable. I believe (if I remember) a shorter wheelbase (it was excessively long) and slacker seat tube angle.
Here is a set of posts with some real world testing. I would have copy and pasted the post itself but that would have brought it out of context.
Check over on mtbr.com theres a few people that have them. I know you cant run a front derailuer now, not really sure about geo changes though.
O yeah, currently....no I dont, I use them for parts. Looking to build one up when they get an 05' stock going. Hopefully be able to pick up a level1 sponsorship for racing from them so I can get the new frame for free Chads a great guy though, and it seems like a sweet company.
Go heads of tails. If you get heads and you feel like it's not truely the bike you wanted that won. Buy the bike you chose for tails. Or vice versa...
But, to be honest. I'd go with the V10, that virtual pivot point looks very promissing.
If you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life.
Ok there is a v11. New to next year (this yearish)
Santa Cruz even got into the carbon state of mind that seemed to be prevalent at Interbike this year. The new V-11 features a carbon rear fender. Oh, and 255mm of VPP rear-wheel travel, a 150mm / 12mm rear end, and full titanium hardware. Frame-only pricing is $2,199 for powdercoat and a 5th Element with cromo spring, $2,399 for ano, and about another $240 to throw in a Hadley rear hub. Complete prices range from $4,953 to $6,034.
if my assumptions are correct, the v11 is the new v10. i think people are just calling it the v11 because of the radically different new frame design. of course, i could be wrong...
current ride: 2003 norco vps fluid 3.0 (custom build).
You are right. It is just the v10. But I think even santa cruz is calling it the v11. Thats what it was called at interbike as far as the report I read said.
The name implies that the frame has gained an inch of travel over this years model, giving it 11". Mine's only 4". I'm developing a complex
From what ive heard, the V10 is still the V10....it was the V11 in prototyping. I believe its still the 10inches, not 11. If nobodys sure, im sure I could find out from somebody that has one
i happen to read about V 11 or maybe it was a miss of + 1 LOL!!! i've worned out my Haro DHR to extinction that im planning to buy a new one.i had a look at the Haro 20005 model of their DH bikes and i think it sucks. but anyway its worth a try.
the one thing i fear most is that it isn't FSR linked. the one i have on my Haro DHR is FSR which is a patent of Specilazed and it worked Great!! i haven't had the chance to sit on SPV's and that builds up my worries. and will it handle a 20 ft drop! is it not that wimpy to do those jumps??
SPV is kind of a misnomer. Lots of shocks remove small bump damping without blowing the shock. It is just a really tight compression damping controll (some are fancier than others)...
Most wouldhandle 20ft nicely...but over time most shocks will die without regular servicing.
