Canadian carrier Telus has announced that they will be raising the unlock fee for devices on their network by $15 starting on July 7th. This move raises the unlock fee to $50, bringing it in line with Rogers and Bell.
Telus has offered the unlocking service for $35 since 2012, but the cost of unlocking devices is higher than the carrier originally anticipated. I'm not entirely sure how that works, but since it looks like the standard pricing going forward, I don't think anyone in Canada will have much of a choice there. Read more

Rare Vintage Titanium Racing Bike - $50 (Eugene)
For me, Tom, an incredibly talented rebuilder of vintage bicycles, it's such a special pleasure to offer you such a gem, a classic, one of a kind vintage racing bike. This bike is simply amazing, a true beauty of unsurpassed quality in brand new, showroom condition. I cannot express how great this bike is, you will simply have to ride it in order to appreciate it! The frame is a vintage Cazzo, which is an Italian sounding name, like all the top bikes companies such as Cinelli and Colnago. It's also made of solid iron, which is metal like titanium, and it has dual triangle racing geometry, just like the all the bikes used to win all the bike races ever. It has an incredible, eye catching, custom paint job that must have cost literally thousands of dollars, and it shifts so smooth, you'd think it was diarrhea sneaking out your sphincter! Rest assured that I, Tom, personally took apart, overhauled and meticulously cleaned every piece of this bicycle and loaded it with gobs of grease to make sure you would be able to enjoy it for many more hundreds of years. In fact, I even took the time to grease the handlebar grips and brake pads for you! This is a go-anywhere bike, and it would be awesome for commuting, road racing, downhill mountain biking or maybe for that special fixie project??? I guarantee that you will love riding this bicycle, so call me, Tom, and come check it out.
this one cracked me up. Worth $2000 eh? 1930s eh?

I'd say for many like myself the lure of c&v is the aesthetic quality inherent in many older bikes that is virtually non existent in modern cycles and especially non existent in bmx. I've never seen anything but ugly bmx bikes. They're easy to pick on.
Besides, S&M has it's place, as does cycling, but S&M and cycling maybe shouldn't mix. The only whips and chains for cycles should probably be repair tools/parts.

The Tunguska event in 1908? Almost for sure a large piece of space rubble that blew up before it reached the ground. While we're busy shooting each other here, we've been living in a shooting gallery.

Funny thing is, if we could bring those rocks into orbit, they'd likely be an excellent source of the rare earth metals we need for LEDs, cell phone chips, things like that. Tricky steering question, though, wouldn't want to not "just miss".
I don't think there was ever a doubt what hit Tunguska. There were conspiracy theories of course!
The ob<x>ject which exploded over Tunguska was witnessed doing what no recognised meteor has ever been witnessed doing,it made an abrupt change of direction,away,incidently,from the densely populated area it was destined to hit before changing course.
Not to mention not true...
it is true
There were many witnesses to this happening,but because it doesnt fit with the conventional answer it has been brushed to one side.This happens too many times for it to be coincidence,the selective picking of details which fit with a theory,and disregarding other facts which clearly disprove what is proposed as the answer.
Yes, I it could a much bigger meteor in Tunguska. But the thing is they never found the meteor itself, but they did iridium so...Im guessing it decentagrated in the explosion. One thing Iridium is used for it the ball tip on a founten pen ( I use to work in a pen factory) They would put the iridium on vibrateing machines that seperated the round ones from the other odd shaped ones. It was much more valuble than gold.

The former radical environmentalist's recent run of wildlife-habitat successes were mostly created by some degree of quiet collaboration with traditional environmental foes such as federal land managers, ranchers, loggers and hound hunters.
ONCE YOU get past the fanatical obsession with saving the beasts of the earth, two-by-two, from the proverbial floods of their day, conservationist Mitch Friedman bears absolutely no resemblance to the biblical Noah.
Check him out in his Bellingham lair and see for yourself: no flowing mane, bushy beard or wooden staff — and nary a watercraft of biblical proportions. Instead: A cleanly shaven head, "stink bait" for remote cameras, a 30.06 deer-hunting rifle and a well-worn Toyota Prius.
Oh: and a civil-disobedience record sufficient to gain instant jail-cred at any reunion of aging Earth First!ers.

That last fact has both everything and nothing to do with Friedman's recent run of wildlife-habitat successes, most created by some degree of quiet collaboration with traditional environmental foes such as federal land managers, ranchers, loggers and hound hunters.
He is probably violating numerous green-movement codes even broaching this subject, but Friedman at 48 has achieved what a twenty-something Friedman, the rabble-rousing Earth First! tree-sitter, could not have imagined: demonstrable success in the battle to save wild critters many Northwesterners hold dear.
It's true: Friedman is declaring victory in at least one battle for the Northwest environment.
"The Cascades are wilder today than they have been in 50 years," he says. "Fewer clear cuts, fewer logging roads, fewer people on those roads."
Some of that is happenstance, but some is "because of the work we did."
Most of it was done quietly, by tweaking federal policies, securing conservation easements or using money from Seattle-area tech titans to buy land outright.
The payoff: critical habitat "connectivity," allowing animals to migrate between islands of land still "wild." Invisible to most of us, these pathways have been a boon to black bears and coyotes, lynx, cougar and fishers. Moose. Woodland caribou. And now, the rapidly recolonizing — and intensely polarizing — northern gray wolf.
"We've linked the South Cascades and the North Cascades," says Friedman, whose nonprofit group, Conservation Northwest, has now shifted its focus to preserving habitat in northeast Washington, to link the Cascades with the Rockies. "The backcountry is wilder."
He watches animals, increasingly via remote-sensor cameras, use wild corridors designed for them. It's heady stuff.
"The Northwest landscape is shouting affirmation at me," says a grinning Friedman, who admits that he isn't quite sure how to act when an immovable object nudges forward. "That feels good."
He knows, of course, that the success could be fleeting. And it's been dampened by some failures, notably recovery of the North Cascades grizzly bear — Friedman's enduring pet cause.
Still, he believes that conservation's way forward must be paved by lessons of success. And finally, there are some.
"I follow Churchill's lead," he says. " 'When everything's falling apart, tell the truth, but embed it in hope.' When there's good news, I stand tall and herald it. It's the only way, I think, we get out of this."
MITCH FRIEDMAN got into it at a surprisingly young age. Growing up in decidedly nonprimeval suburban Chicago, Friedman wrestled with the big questions of his place on the planet as early as age 5.
"I've always been an atheist, even though I went to Hebrew school and all that," he says. "Man never made sense to me. God never made sense to me. Man had to fit into some larger scheme. He couldn't be the scheme."
On childhood canoe trips to Canada's Boundary Waters, he was first out of the tent at dawn to watch wading moose graze in the mist. Here was an order he could grasp — a natural one, with man peeping through the curtain.
"I was a defiant little kid," he says. "I had to reject things, then fill in with other things." Animals "didn't screw you over like people do."
After high school, he enrolled in Montana State University to study wildlife management but realized he wanted to protect wildlife, not "manage" it for harvest. He eventually made his way to Seattle, and a University of Washington zoology degree.
There, in the mid-1980s, he became a ringleader in the fledgling Earth First! movement, staging protests over clear-cut logging, fish-killing dams and other environmental not-niceties. They weren't the kind of group that would put cracks in dams. But they would paint one on the face of them, to make the point.
"For the next three years, '85 to '88, I got arrested probably a dozen times, from Yellowstone to Idaho to the Upper Skagit: old growth, grizzly bears, spotted owls."
He does some math in his head and laughs. "I haven't been arrested since. It's been 23 years."
He's still not sure whether to feel good about that. But he has spent none of the intervening years stuck in neutral.
BY THE LATE 1980s, Earth First! began to feel secondary to Friedman.
"I'd come to realize I was getting arrested with the same six hippies all the time," he says. "The movement wasn't moving."
With no money or solid plan — just a notion about creating a new green movement of scientifically trained "pragmatic idealists" — he formed his own advocacy group, Northwest Ecosystem Alliance, in Bellingham in 1989.
His early weapons were mostly of the "stick" variety — position papers and lawsuits to block logging and development. But before long, "carrot" began creeping in, mostly by necessity in an era of policy gridlock.
"There's that line that the generals are always fighting the last war," says Friedman, a fan of military history. "I was one of those generals."
In the late '90s, some of his young staffers found common ground with foresters and rangers in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest — a plan to thin second-growth trees rather than log old growth. Surprisingly, it seemed to satisfy everyone.
"People who worked for me developed this collaborative model," he says. "I came along."
The former "no-compromise" evangelist came to accept some: "Not all trees are equal. Not all acreage is equal." It made him a pariah among some fellow greenies. (One group compared Friedman's posse to the Vichy government of France.)
None of this bothered Friedman, who had found what, in his calling, was a true rarity: a way forward.
His group, later renamed Conservation Northwest, expanded the concept. From the still-smoking battlefield of the spotted owl, Friedman's little band sorted through wary displaced generals on all sides, seeking pragmatists willing to deal on the next generation of environmental issues.
Patterns emerged: Friedman could call off the legal dogs keeping loggers out of the woods in exchange for critical habitat protection. One of those pacts, in the Colville National Forest, stands today as a national model, says Mike Poulson, a fifth-generation eastsider and aide to Republican Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Spokane.
Friedman also began helping ranchers sign conservation easements that keep their land intact in perpetuity: private land with a public benefit.
Most of these new partners were leery at first.
Says John Dawson, 68, a cattleman in Colville, Stevens County, who worked with Friedman to get a conservation easement for the 500-acre ranch he hopes to pass to his grandsons: "Everything that he's for, maybe we're not all for. But when you get to the common ground and find out what's basically most important to all of us, we're on the same page."
That page: "We need to keep this land from being broken up and lost," Dawson says. "We need it for the economy; also for the wildlife."
In 1998, Friedman's team elevated its collaborative model to a grand scale. It helped raise $20 million — about 80 percent of it from Microsoft employees or retirees — to compensate the state for setting aside 25,000 acres of public-school timber land in the Loomis State Forest in Northeast Washington. Sparing those trees helped save, for now, the state's endangered Canada lynx.
National media hailed the deal as the hot new conservation trend. But it may have been more of a blip; a byproduct of the loose-cash dot-com era. Seattle's newer high-tech millionaires, at Amazon, Google, Adobe and biotech companies, haven't pitched in for wildlife in the institutional, matching-funds way that Microsoft workers have. (Microsofties still fork out a healthy chunk of Conservation Northwest's $1.7 million annual budget.)
The Loomis experience, and a subsequent campaign to buy land in the Cascades' I-90 corridor, cemented the reputation of Friedman's group as a major broker. It was an eye-opener for Friedman.
"I had a young radical's preconceived notion of a rich person," he admits. "What I found — and this is a biased sample; these are people who are sending money to a wilderness-protection effort — was that they have comparable values to mine."
NOT EVERYONE, of course, shares those values, and a few of Friedman's critics would love nothing more than to monkey wrench his fragile "connectivity" framework, using a single hot-button issue: Washington's wolf-recovery plan.
Say the words "Mitch Friedman" and "wolves" into the phone, and you'll get an earful from Jim Detro, an Okanogan County commissioner who vividly remembers Friedman's antics on the roof of the Okanogan National Forest headquarters more than 25 years ago.
"How would you feel if I showed up at your home and dumped horse manure down your chimney, then handed out directions on how to effectively burn it down?" he asks.
Friedman, like other disciples of Earth First! co-founder Dave Foreman, did things that went beyond disrespectful and bordered on "domestic terrorism," Detro says.
In Detro's mind, Friedman is a wolf in wolf's clothing — one whose recent deal-making is little more than a smoke screen.
"Once an egg-sucking dog, always an egg-sucking dog."
Conservation Northwest helped write the state's recent wolf-recovery plan, which calls for establishing 15 breeding pairs — as many as 300 to 500 wolves — before the species can be "delisted" as endangered and managed by the state rather than the federal government. (About 30 wolves, perhaps with five breeding pairs, live in Washington today.)
Given current politics — and recent history, notably the poaching of the state's first confirmed breeding wolves, the Lookout Pack in the Methow Valley — that is by no means assured.
Ironically, Detro and Friedman agree on one strategy: a quick delisting of the wolf. Friedman hopes it can be accomplished in five years or less — perhaps by moving some breeding pairs, with the help of Native American tribes, from the North Cascades south, where they will enjoy ample wilderness and year-round prey. One political side benefit: deflating federal-government land-grab-conspiracy theories.
They're clearly afloat. Detro, when pressed, admits he fears the wolf more as a political tool than a daily nuisance.
Environmentalists already destroyed the local logging industry under the guise of spotted-owl protection, Detro says. "Now here comes the wolf, the perfect tool for them to get livestock off public lands in the West."
He sees it as just the latest volley in "an incremental destruction of our way of life" — part of a broader agenda to erode gun and property rights.
Nonsense, Friedman scoffs.
He understands the man's anger, and regrets some of his own early antics — including those burned into Detro's memory. But he doesn't consider his goals then, or now, radical. And he minces no words describing those who would politicize wildlife-habitat issues.
"There's always folks who will move themselves forward by dividing and scapegoating," Friedman says. "May they burn in hell."
Most people in wolf country are stuck somewhere in between. Dawson, the Colville rancher, sees wolves lurking around his grazing lands. He doesn't support the state plan, which he fears will place a financial burden on eastsiders, mostly to indulge critter-hugging westsiders. But he doesn't see a grand conspiracy.
"We can all agree to disagree once in a while," he says, noting that the key to his pact with Friedman was simple: "We both were willing to listen to the other person."
Friedman frets that there aren't enough John Dawsons to collaborate with anymore.
"There was a time when (Americans) were able to still get things done. The big concern is that we may no longer be in those times. And if we're not, I think the blame goes to people on the fringe."
ALL OF THAT is child's play compared to the thing that truly keeps conservationists up at night: The fear that every good deed ultimately will go punished — by climate change and overpopulation.
"We won the old-growth war," Friedman says, "but we lost the culture war in a big way. So now we're stuck with 7 billion consumers in a heating planet."
This took on new meaning when Friedman became a father 16 years ago. Before, Friedman says with a laugh, it was somehow comforting to know that if the green movement lost, and apocalypse commenced, at least they'd be vindicated. But "as soon as I had kids and an investment in the future . . . failure was no longer an option."
Divorced seven years ago, he shares custody of teenage daughters who are now central in his life. He tries — with mixed success, he fears — to instill in them his reverence for all things wild.
He frets that their children will never know the sort of life-altering moments he and his daughters experienced in 2009, when they stood in the Methow Valley and heard the Lookout Pack wolves howl back at humans for the first time. But he does believe this: No matter what comes next, work done now to save wild lands will not be wasted.
Left to its own devices, he explains, nature adapts. But it needs core ingredients to do so — what Aldo Leopold referred to as "the pieces and processes, the cogs and wheels" of natural processes.
If Friedman could be forced to claim a legacy, it would be his battle to preserve exactly that. The pragmatic idealist in him knows it might not be enough. But the Dad part can't give up — and still finds a way to see the climate-change glass as half-full: Washington, he says, has become a global model for natural connectivity — with only a handful of citizens on board.
It's a beginning.
Noah, he is not. But Friedman will die trying to convince fellow humans they owe it to the planet to emulate the guy by giving wild animals, at the very least, a few truly wild places to start over.
These, he says, "are the arks."

Request for Accommodations
Welcome to the Arkansas Tech University Office of Disability Services (DS). Our mission is to contribute to and enhance the quality of life for students with disabilities by removing barriers to their academic success. We work with each student to formulate a plan unique to their circumstances taking into account their learning history and personal experiences.
Students are responsible for notifying DS of their need for accommodations. Requests for accommodations should be initiated in a timely manner to allow for coordination of services with faculty and staff. Accommodations are not retro-active, therefore students are encouraged to meet with a DS Coordinator before the start of classes or early in the semester if they suspect an accommodation is necessary.
Note: While documentation is not necessary to initiate this process, the Coordinator reserves the right to request formal documentation to substantiate disability and determine appropriate accommodations.
- Complete a Request for Accommodations form. Hard copy forms may be obtained by contacting the Office of Disability Services in the Doc Bryan Student Services Building, Suite 171. Students seeking accommodations related to university owned housing should complete the Request Form for Disability Services Housing Accommodations. Please notify the office if an alternative format is required.
Return the completed forms along with any associated documentation to the Office of Disability Services. Forms may be faxed to (479) 968-0375, dropped off in person, or sent via-email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Alternately, you may send the forms via U.S. mail to:Office of Disability Services Doc Bryan Student Services Building, Suite 171 1605 Coliseum Drive Russellville, AR 72801
- Complete Release of Information forms for each service provider (for example, physician, specialist, counselor, or agency) who can supply documentation on your behalf. You may return the completed forms to Disability Services and we will fax the documentation directly to the provider if you do not have records to send in along with your completed request forms.
- In the absence of documentation, students are encouraged to contact the office for an appointment with a coordinator in order to evaluate any immediate needs and determine if provisional accommodations are warranted pending the receipt and evaluation of any required formal documentation.
- Upon the receipt and review of the student's documentation, a coordinator/designee
will contact the student to schedule an intake interview. This interview is an interactive,
in-depth discussion between the coordinator and student typically lasting for approximately
an hour. Students are expected to meet privately with their coordinator and should
be prepared to discuss the following subjects during their interview:
- The impact of their disabilities on their academics, social interactions, extracurricular activities and living environment (if requesting housing accommodations)
- Their accommodation history
- The accommodations they are requesting for the upcoming semester
- The coordinator will develop an individualized plan for the student taking into account the student's documentation and insights developed from the intake interview. After verification of the student's eligibility for accommodations, a letter will be provided to the student formally recommending implementation of reasonable accommodations in the form of academic adjustments or other modifications appropriate to their needs.
- Students are responsible for meeting with their instructors to discuss their accommodation plan. In no instance is a student required to share the nature of their disability with anyone other than DS. However, the student should be prepared to discuss how their disability impacts their ability to participate in academic programs and activities. Faculty members should meet privately with students in order to ensure confidentiality.
- Accommodations are effective for the duration of the semester unless otherwise noted in the accommodation plan. Students are responsible for notifying their coordinator each semester if they have a continued need for accommodations.

I made a decision a few weeks ago to pick up with the Detroit Lions when they returned from their bye, and I'm sticking with that plan despite a pair of other interesting Week 6 games in the NFC North. So here's how Sunday will work:
I'll be at Lincoln Financial Field to see if the Lions can right themselves against the Philadelphia Eagles after a 1-3 start and remain competitive in the division. They're already three games behind the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings in the win column, and the Vikings could make it four if they defeat the Washington Redskins in the late afternoon game.
I'll have full coverage of Lions-Eagles, and will also wrap up the Vikings' result in Washington, D.C. Then I'll put myself in position to catch as much of Sunday night's matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans as I can on television. A wrap-up post will appear on the blog shortly after the game ends.
I don't think I could have gone wrong on picking games this weekend. They're all important in their own ways, and we'll account for them accordingly.

Leh, Sep 16 (IANS) Abhinav Shiv Tiwari's "OASS", a movie on human trafficking, was named the best film at the second edition of the Ladakh International Film Festival (LIFF). It also won the best screenplay, and Divya Chhetri was awarded the best actress for the same movie.
Sewan Sing Yein won the best actor for "KO:Yad", for which Manju Patra Borah clinched the best director award at the closing ceremony of the three-day extravaganza here Sunday.
The international jury of the fest was chaired by acclaimed filmmaker Aparna Sen. The other jury members included Canadian filmmaker and South Asian Film Festival co-founder T.C. McLuhan.
"It was a moment of pride for me to preside over such a like-minded jury," Sen said at the event here.
A host of awards were given out for cinematography, short film and documentary film. Ladakh's filmmakers were honoured under a special category of awards.
The closing ceremony was attended by government officials and dignitaries, as well as LIFF jury members and patrons.
Jammu and Kashmir urban development minister Rigzin Jora too was present.
Appreciating the efforts behind the fest, Jora said: "We need to work together to step up the fest. There were a bit of hiccups this year, but we will together strive to make it better next year."
The event also saw folk dance and song performances from local artists. A tribute was paid to late filmmakers Rituparno Ghosh and Yash Chopra, as well as actor Pran.

George E. Pake Auditorium, PARC
map/ directions
Despite 100 years of advances in communications technology, most white-collar jobs are still done in person by people commuting to offices. Many of these jobs can now be done remotely by telepresence robots. Some jobs can be done better because people can switch quickly between several locations, or because different specialists can take turns working through the same robot. Jobs that involve idle time can be done more cheaply, because a large number of robots can be controlled by a smaller number of people. I'll talk about the opportunity and technology we're building.
Dr. Blackwell is the founder and CEO of Anybots Inc., a Silicon Valley startup developing next-generation teleoperated robots for use in a variety of settings, such as dangerous industrial jobs. They developed many new robots, including potentially the first humanoid robot that walks and balances in a truly dynamic way. He is also a partner in Y Combinator, a new kind of venture firm specializing in early stage startups. Previously he was a principal at Viaweb, maker of easy end-user e-commerce software, which was acquired by Yahoo to become Yahoo Store. As a grad student at Harvard, he worked on randomized network protocols and randomized compiler optimizations. He published in the proceedings of ACM SIGCOMM, IEEE Infocom, and Usenix. He also has done a number of recreational hacking projects and published the results on the web, such as the balancing scooter..

LOL, I meant hoods put on the stock bar.
Actually come to think of it, that was a dumb question. I was imagining hoods parallel to the ground being uncomfortable, but then I remembered mine are like that too >__>. Well, that was embarrassing.
LOL, I meant hoods put on the stock bar.
Actually come to think of it, that was a dumb question. I was imagining hoods parallel to the ground being uncomfortable, but then I remembered mine are like that too >__>. Well, that was embarrassing.
Just checked. They updated the seats, bars, chainrings.
if I am making no sense feel free to give me some gif responses and have a great night
Probably cause it's the EXACT geometry and tubing, just lugged instead of welded, oh, and it's called the "Mercier: Kilo Team"
Also, bikeisland is bikesdirect.
And yes, I know thats how it typically is in these factories, snowboard/skateboard world is no different, I just find it funny.
hopefully that made sense
Made plenty of sense, but its not just the case for BD, happens with pretty much all manufacturers.
BD bikes are made by Kinesis Industry. They also make bikes for Diamondback, Trek, Schwinn, Jamis, Felt, and Raleigh to name a few. So a good percentage of bikes on the street are Kinesis bikes with a sticker.
So I was too lazy to swap my good seat back over to the kilo this weekend and just threw the stock one back on, got about 100 miles logged and my taint is seriouly in so much pain I can barely ride siting down.
What are the primary use for these "fixed gear" bikes? .....town bikes......or also longer rides? .....do you have different gearings on your bikes so you have one for different purposes? ......I think for longer rides a "free-wheel" bike is the best?
Gearing comes from knowing your riding environment and what you are going to be encountering as far as elevation change etc. I have seen some people have two fixed cogs on a flip-flop and I am assuming they might switch the wheel around depending on where they are riding.
And hey thats your opinion, it seems people either a. hate fixed gear bikes b. see them as efficient around town errand runners when they're not fully kitted on their carbon roadie or c. enjoy riding them for the 'challenge' and feel of riding fixed (which is what I'd say most people that hang around here do)
and to keep it on track with the thread, the kilo TT is a great bike with good enough components for your first bike
A few upgrades- Cinelli vai stem, deda rhm handlebars, celeste green bar tape and conti tire...unfortunately my LBS only had white/black contis...so I took them since my bike is white and black (but I HATE it...never again)
Been riding so damn much and lovin it!

This year's REEL ROCK includes exclusive premieres of short films by co-founders Sender Films and Big UP Productions that tell the stories of the most exciting vertical achievements from the past year, including an epic traverse across the jagged peaks of Patagonia, a rowdy pumpfest at 24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell, and an exclusive look at the history-making Dawn Wall free ascent. REEL ROCK 10 will feature athletes Tommy Caldwell, Kevin Jorgeson, Alex Honnold and Daniel Woods, with a special tribute to the late Dean Potter. Audiences will share in moments of hilarity, struggle and triumph as these hardcore and often larger-than-life climbers take on awe-inspiring challenges.
From big walls to big moves, audiences around the world will be treated to a heartthumping program that will take them to the edge, and beyond. Here's a closer look at this year's lineup:
A LINE ACROSS the SKY
35 mins
The Fitz Roy traverse is one of the most sought after achievements in modern alpinism: a gnarly journey across seven jagged summits and 13,000 vertical feet of climbing. Who knew it could be so much fun? Join Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold on the inspiring -- and at times hilarious -- quest that earned the Piolet d'Or.
HIGH and MIGHTY
20 mins
High ball bouldering -- where a fall could lead to serious injury -- is not for the faint of heart. Add to the equation a level of difficulty at climbing's cutting edge, and things can get downright out of control. Follow Daniel Woods' epic battle to conquer fear and climb the high ball test-piece The Process.
SHOWDOWN at HORSESHOE HELL
20 mins
24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell (24HHH) is the wildest event in the climbing world; a mashup of ultramarathon and Burning Man where elite climbers and gumbies alike go for broke in a sun-up to sun-down orgy of lactic acid and beer. But all fun aside, the competition is real: Can the team of Nic Berry and Mason Earle stand up against the allpowerful Alex Honnold?
6 mins
Dean Potter was the most iconic vertical adventurer of a generation. He has been an integral part of the REEL ROCK family since year one, starring in such classics as First Ascent, Fly or Die, Race for the Nose and Valley Uprising. Following his tragic death in May, the tour will include a stirring tribute to our friend and collaborator.
15 mins
Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson's epic final push to free climb the Dawn Wall was a truly historic feat. It marked the greatest climbing achievement of a generation and captured the world's imagination. As our team works on a major feature film about the event slated for next year, REEL ROCK 10 will

"Neither American nor European City :-)" Top 5 Page for this destination Washington D.C. by matcrazy1
Washington D.C. Travel Guide: 5,765 reviews and 15,479 photos
I didn't know a lot about the capital of the USA before my visit in 2004. First of all, I wanted to see the two symbols of the only world's superpower: the Capitol and the White House. I have watched them thousands times on TV. It is interesting that TV wizzards (unfairly in all channels!) tend to enlarge the White House and reduce the Capitol building on my TV screen. Well, I knew also about the Arlington Cemetery and the Pentagon but technically they were located across the Potomac River, NOT in DC but in Arlington, Virginia. Well, it's an American speciality to divide one city into a few and never combine a few cities, located one by one, into one. They love freedom :-).
Living in Poland, on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain I, a teenager that time, paradoxically could watch Washington, DC more often than Moscow in so-called "Polish" TV. However I could only watch the sea of never ending slums (where to hell they had found them in DC ?) and hear all the time about unbelievable poverty, the world's highest crime rate, continous ethnic violence, thousands of homeless families, prostitutes, drug/alcohol addicted, street children etc. etc. From time to time I could watch peaceful demostrations against "imperialistic US government" brutally pacified by "rude and violent police". Washington was real hell and the worst place on our planet in my TV, radio and newspapers until 1989. This irritating and certainly false Soviet propaganda was spread daily through all mass media but somehow couldn't influence me. Right opposite, my young heart wanted to free from "the heaven" I was told to live in to '"the hell" of the USA and its "awful, imperialistic" capital. It was a dream that time! In 1980' I had never thought that this kiddy dream would ever come true during my life.
My best memory from Washington, D.C. is time which I spent together with great VT-friends:
- Kathy from Dallas, Texas (Kodi01)
- Kristi from Chicago, Illinois (Dabs)
- Tania from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (skye820),
- Chris from Atlanta, Georgia (balfor)
- Kent from Fairfax, Virginia (Kentbein)
- Nat from Richmond, Virginia (b1bob).
First, it was very moving that these friends came from so far and wide to meet us... Then, they welcomed us on American soil like we were a king and queen or a rock star. We had great time... I'm speechless.. Let's meet again... Welcome to Poland.
On the picture (from the left):
- Kathy.
- Kent,
- Urszula (matcrazy0),
- Tania,
- Chris,
- Kristi.
Details on our Washington VT-meeting are put in my Nightlife tips and travelogues titled "We". Welcome :-)
Read my, the only one, Tourist Trap tip, please.
I've put up four pages on the US capital, this one and the following ones:
- Georgetown
- Cleveland Park
- United States Navy Memorial
Apart from that the highlights are included in my General Tips of which the following ones are described in details in my Things to Do tips:
1. United States Capitol
2. Supreme Court of the United States
3. White House
4. National Archives
5. National Museum of the American Indian
6. National Air and Space Museum
7. National Gallery of Art
8. Lincoln Memorial
9. Korean War Veterans Memorial
10. Vietnam Veterans Memorial
- Pros:It's the Federal City! VT-ers I've met, countless free of charge tourist attractions, convenient public transportation
- Cons:It's the Federal City! Burning in summer, freezing in winter!
- In a nutshell:Take a week or two off, keep smiling and go! DC awaits!

This could be a great RV park, but the way it is run and set up now leaves a LOT to be desired! We drive a 45' motorhome and the East Meadow should be able to accommodate us, but getting into this place is almost impossible. Why would you put in a narrow gate and a sharp right turn to get into an RV park? Makes no sense! Also, they need to trim their trees to accommodate tall RV's. We stayed here several days and one morning we woke up to no electricity. We went up to the office and they said "oh yes, it will be out all day...didn't they tell you when you checked in?" uhhhh....no! (and it was almost 90 degrees that day!) fortunately we have a generator, but those who didn't were in for one hot day! Maintenance is at a ZERO. Huge gullies were everywhere on the dirt roads (from not-so-recent rains). It is obvious that they have not done any road maintenance in years! We will NOT be staying here again.
If you have a small trailer or RV and just need a bare bones place to stay for the night, then this place would be OK, as the price is OK, but any rig over 36' should look elsewhere! - mnmwillis
Jul 2015 - $35.00
This is a bare bones RV Park. The only reason we stayed was to attend a nearby family reunion. The only real amenities are the pool and casino. Thye should use some of the gambling profits to turn the Park into a class act. We have paid less per night on this trip and had both cable and good WiFi. - Joe-n-Doe
Mar 2014 - $25.00
I reviewed this park in 2010 and gave it a 3. We enjoyed it more this time and have upped the rating to a 5. Some people will rate this park much higher. Some lower. It is a very quiet park with lots of mature Oak trees. There are nice white ranch type fences. There is a very good view to the west with good sunsets over the mountains. The utilities are very good. But this is also basically a sandy dirt area that is not level. There are also cows and bulls roaming free. Some of the animals have learned to turn the water on. When they do this water can run for a long time as there is nearly no one in this campground. Therefore, there are gullies downhill from the water outlets. And lots of other gullies from natural runoff. The spaces are huge. We stayed here in a group of 10 coaches. We were in the "new" section. It was almost empty. In the "old" section right next to us were about 100 semi permanent RVs. The day that we left one of the semi permanent residents got into an argument with another and then shot gunned the guy he was arguing with. We were not affected by this incident but it was close to where we were. We missed this activity by a couple of hours. It happened in mid day. Right down the street is a HUGE casino. Very modern and very well visited. Good food. - RFCN2

New lower price for Axon II ($78) and Axon Mote ($58).
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
when we say a : 12V dc motor,or 24 dc motor,we mean the maximum voltage,don't we?i belive i can use a 24 V motor with a 12 v power supply I mean ,even if i use a 24 V power supply,i'll drive the motor with PWM ,so by using 12V power supply voltage,i could only reach half motor capacities (velocity ,torque),but I believe it will work am I right?? will it work?
the problem is that i can't afford a 24 V power supply and i really want to buy this motor : http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/ML-52-53.html
and if you can show an equivalent 12v dc motor (strong enough ,geared + encoder) ,i would be pleased
Have you considered what exactly you need (RPM and torque)?
the asnwer is :i have exactly 240 $
i'm very interested in the electric drills motors,but i'm scared that I couldn't mount an encoder on it easily(I've never done it before)
and what encoder to choose?

Happy with the "Big Brother will take care of you" mentality that seems to have captured all levels of government? There is a breath of fresh air. Successful businessman David Madore is running for Clark County Commissioner, District 2. Based on the outstanding job Madore has done building his business, from working in his garage to currently employing more than 100 workers here in Vancouver, we have reason to be optimistic. He knows what has helped and hindered local businesses. We need that kind of "in the trenches" experience representing us as a commissioner. We need jobs provided by businesses.

Domestic Short Hair - White - Pk - Large - Adult - Male - Cat
Hi there, I'm PK and came all the way from the Outer Banks. Aren't I a pretty cream point boy? You see I was out during Hurricane Irene last summer and after the hurricane, someone found me. I made a long trip via ferry and car to get to the DC area. I was very scared at first but my foster mom took care of me and now I don't mind being petted and stuff. I do have an old injury to one of my rear legs but that doesn't stop me from many things and I get around just fine. I'm also okay with other cats and probably older kids would be okay too. I'll also sleep in bed with you! I'm now out of my shell and have discovered toys! I just love playing so another cat that would be willing to play would be good. If you're interested in me, just email my foster mom, Leigh, at [email removed] and she'll get back to you as soon as she can.
