Lame ass XJ build. Never going to leave the driveway.
Current state
The Jeep is a 1992 Cherokee Laredo, I bought this in 2006 after my '94 Cherokees maiden wheeling trip to the mounds and some douche hit me head on, on the way home and totaled it.
So the plans for my Jeep have changed from when I started, from budget minded, to fukc it, just buy what I want since it hasn't moved in forever anyway theres no reson not to save a bit more for what I want. Through I want to keep it pretty simple, and easily serviceable when needed. Also working in a fab shop helps a ton when I need something whipped up if I dont feel like buying it, or it doesn't exist.
Any who on to pictures, and crap.
This is her the day I brought it home, a rust free Cherokee from Tennessee for $1500 and had about 180k on her, when I got it it dident run properly the guy thought it needed a fuel pump but it was just the tps, a quick swap from my 94 and she was running perfect.
Now at this time I was working at Pappa Romanos, this was my DD so not only did I have shit income, I had to keep it working everyday.
This is after the Terraflex 2" Spacer/Shackle BB from my '94
Fenders off
Doors off.(front only for now)
Slight trimming and 31"x10.5" Dakota M/Ts
Flexing in the ally behind my house. I was so cool.
This was the extent of suspension and tire mods for the next few years since i was makeing about $250 every two weeks, so i started adding little shit to it.
Super cool mag light storage.
Decided to cut off the 4wd lever and add this guy, much easier to shift in and out of 4wd.
Tore the guts out and Hurculined it.
That was about the extent of that for about 2 years of wheeling and DD, untill i got a real job and bought a DD and made this just a straight toy.

Fast foward a year or so.
Allwase leading.

Friend jordan stuck. Jon helping.
Friend Jon stuck.
After all the fun, I spent 3 hrs doing my first alternator change on my Jeep in the carwash parking lot with minimal tools. I think my long ass hair was causing some issues haha.
thats all I have time for today, next few will be of recent and actual mods.

Ok so last spring I started really working on it.
Cut the rear hinges.
WJ dual diaphragm booster.
and with master cylinder.
my hooorrible idea of a snokle, I figured since I didn't have a lift I could make up for it by lifting the intake in case of deeper than I thought pits on the trail. More on why it is a bad way to set it up later.
Most of you know how annoying it is in the early Cherokees to not have any cup holders, so being a bicycle enthusiast I did this.
FOZZY LOCKERRRR!!! and it works great actually and in the event of breakage its replaceable unlike a full welded setup.
The last touch for this stage was the JCR prerunner bumper with all the extras.
Painted and all.
more later.

Mirror from my old CJ-7 that I tweeked a little.
With the MRAP my shop makes parts for and one of our managers Duce and a half.
So remember I said the Reeealy bad snorkel idea, well around this time last year I was driving the toy around for the last time before winter and got caught in a gnarly rainstorm and the snorkel sucked in enough water wile on the freeway it blew my head gasket. But that caused me to start a good amount of work on it.
Finally spring 2011 ordered a Rustys (ya ya they suck don't care yet) 6.5" short arm kit. and started on the rear.
1.5" shackle on.
Wile removing the leaf hanger bolts they snapped in the frame so i just orederd these,from ply performance. http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/...t-p-20685.html

Rear done.
Compared to my girlfriends Jeep.
Sarting on the front, also my friend was having my bumper powder coated for me.
Front done-ish. Still needed UCA bushings and steering. I also added the 2" Terraflex spacers up front to level it out some.
Dirtbound offroad 231 hack and tap.
I decided on the currie steering so keep things simple.
This setup is crazy beefy.

I made thees to press out/in the UCA bushings.(My pops welded that, not I haha)
But will grinding the surface flat the wheel exploded and did this.
Once I had it able to move I tuned it around in the driveway and noticed the front coils were bowed forwards, I figured it was from the 2" spacers I had still in there so i pulled them out, but the rear still sits high, I may put stock length shackle back in if it doesn't settle soon.

Now that the suspension was done, time to swap in a motor. I picked up a 4.0 with lower miles out of a MJ from a guy on here and tossed it in two days before a trip me and a friend had planed.
Opened up.
Pulled it out.
Haha my friend nick named Turbo(fastest recorded Bike wheel builder, google it)
we did a turbo swap.
Replacement about ready.

So, we got the motor installed and (what i thought) ready to go the morning of the trip to the mounds, drove it around the block for the frirst time since the lift and engine swap, decide its good and head out. Well luckily my friends BII's trans starts pissing fluid on the way there so we turnaround and re plan in 2 weeks.
Now i say luckily becaus found that the engine had 12q of oil in it (i think the guy said it was empty) but stupid me for not checking. So i flushed the motor, tightened up the loose ends (every thing on the thing) and went wheeling on oct 30th.
Checking the newly gained (not alot) flecks. Also making sure everything clears everything else wile maxed out
We are posers, but im better at it.
Shitty vid of me doing the little course.
After that we headed to the trails and I got gnar stuck, took alot of yanks from my friend to free me.
My girl sad that all her stuff on the floor washed to the back haha.
So after all that we headed home, well on the way I noticed my jeep started to sound like our old clark HiLo at work. Knowing it was my rear pinion bearing ill pulled the rear drive shaft and continued home in front wheel drive.
Well after a few miles I started to feel the rear end catching and locking for a split second, I hoped off the freeway and made it home on main roads.
So instead of fixing a turd 27spline C8.25 the next weekend I bought this from jeepinxj boy 21
This brings us up to date.

Ok, so ive been starting to do some work on her lately. Since me and a friend are planning a Drummond island trip in July i have a dead line to get, a 44/9" swapped in, rear bumper built, sliders, skids, wheels, tires, water proof storage, spair mount, lights, whole new cooling system and hope it works haha.
Ill post some pictures of my bumper progesss and such when i get them organized
|February 22nd, 2012, 03:15 AM
Started work on the rear bumper, Im trying to make it as simeple as possible wile still doing its job for recovery. Im useing 1/8" wall 2"x4" tube, for the bumper, the mounting plates are EX TEN-50 1/4" plates I cut on one of my lasers at work, along with 2"x4" tube for an inside the frame mount, the recovery tabs are laser cut from A514 3/4" that will go through the bumper and be welded on both sides.
Dring tabs
I cant figure how to post this as a video on here but this is them beeing cut out.
Bumper plates.
Got the rear bumper and hitch off.
Im still trying to decide what angle i should cut the ends of it at.
Wile I ponder on angles/waiting for warren pipe to get more tube in, I went to Joes Army Navy, and found thees neat little guys.
Becomes this.
Also, since my taxes were nice, I took the ford 9" housing in to DTS and they installed a spool, 5.13 gears and a Ubolt style yoke for me, and with a 24hr turn around, it was a glitch but cool haha.
|February 22nd, 2012, 09:19 AM
Thank you!
Going to 35s, and Maby 37s down the road (after RCVs and cromos). I went with 5.13 tho for the extra little bit of torque off road and pep on road. I was thinking of going to 5.38 but got talked out of haha
And o ya, I forgot to add that in, I allready got one, just need to find a place for it. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm heading to Vegas in a few weeks with a few buddies and am looking for a new strategy for blackjack and craps.
I head out there once a year and primarily play blackjack and craps (with some sports gambling mixed in for good measure).
Anyone got a good system they are willing to share. I've been using my system for years and am just looking for something new to try.

I am interested in learning to make a natural starter using a ratio of flour and water of 50/50 and using a rye flour and learning how wild yeast would take over. Is this something like a Sauerteig? If it is a Sauertieg, then I would be interested in using the a portion of the Sauertieg to be used as a Anstellgut. Sauerteig (German) Leaven obtained by the natural and spontaneous fermentation of flour and water. After complete maturation a piece is kept aside as "Anstellgut".Does this type of natural starter require a certain amount of time and temperature for fermenting? I also would be interested in knowing how to maintain this type of starter.Thanks,Norma
Norma,Here's a website that translated how to make Sauerteig from the german website sauerteig.de.http://www.coffeemoon.eu/sourdough-menu/2-general-sourdough/It's a complete turtorial.Hope that helps.
Toby,I am looking to learn how to start a rye starter and then maintaining the starter. I dont plan on moving to wheat, until I learn to properly maintain my first starter and use it for awhile. Do you ever use this to make any kind of pizza?I appreciate you telling me of your experiences. I will read the links you have provided. I will have to purchase some Whole Rye flour this coming week and then give it a try. Did you initially start your rye starter with out adding any kind of juice? Norma
Toby,here's the original:http://www.der-sauerteig.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=75No mention of salt or yeast.
Yes you can use a rye starter to make pizza. I've not done that with my recent batch of starters (due to the transitional difficulties) but normally - yes absolutely no reason why you can't. When making bread using a rye/wheat flour combination it's good to preferment the rye to bring out those great rye flavours and aromas. A rye starter fits the bill perfectly in that regard (think proper, old-school deli rye bread).However if you want to make classically-styled pizzas (NY style or neapolitan for example) then wheat starter is probably a better bet in the long run. BTW you can also start from whole wheat flour (or any whole grain) if you wish...but rye is pretty much the fail safe.With regards to juice - you don't NEED to use it. I've done it both ways. You're just much less likely to encounter leuconostoc bacteria (stinky!) in the initial stages if you use juice.Here's an even simpler (no juice!) tutorial:http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/07/13/raising-a-starter/If you want to keep it in the rye domain, simply ignore where it mentions adding white/wheat flour to the starter.Cheers,Toby
Just wondering if I use a small portion of sweet grape wine my uncle had made in 1968, could I replace some of the water used in the natural starter? I had used this wine to make a biga the other day under Sicilian. It worked out okay with the biga, but that was only left to ferment for about 12 hours.Thanks,Norma
Hmmm not sure. I've never tried that. Are you planning to use it instead of pineapple juice? Honestly I think fruit juice would probably be a better bet in the early stages of a starter (which is not to rule out using wine in a bread dough, for example, to give an interesting flavour/effect).Cheers,Toby
BurntFingers,Thank you for the information. I had wondered if instead of using fruit juice, if it would be okay to just use a little wine. I sure don't know much about making a starter. I had originally just wanted to add water and flour, but when Toby said sometimes he used fruit juice for a starter if just made me wonder if I could add the wine.I don't know how the sweet wine would affect the starter. Do you have experience in making starter's?Thanks,Norma
Toby,Thank you for going into detailed information. I understand more now what the purpose of adding the fruit juice was. That's good to hear your rye starter is doing well. Let me know how your bread turns out. The bread sounds delicious.I guess I still have a lot to learn about starters. I will just add rye flour and water and see what results I get. Do you know if it makes a difference what kind of rye flour I purchase? I saw a kind of rye flour at the grocery store today. It was Hodgson Mill old fashioned 100% Stone Ground, All Natural Rye Flour. We have a country store near us and I will check what they have there. Thanks,Norma
This is day 3 with my starter, before the pm feeding. I tried two starters. The one with water and Hodgson Mill 100% Stone Ground..All Natural Rye Flour and the other just for the heck of it same flour and 5 grams of wine to replace the water. Both starters have some small bubbles. The one with flour and water smells yeasty and the one with flour, water and small amount of wine has a faint smell of wine and yeasty. Is this the way it suppose to look? I plan on feeding with white flour when it doubles itself in 12 hours.I had no large rise in either flour since starting..just the small bubbles that can be seen here.Any advise if I am going about this right? Thanks,Norma
Everything sounds within normal parameters so far. Keep feeding them - and please be generous with the inoculation. I'd almost be tempted to say feed less flour than starter - at least until it kicks off. eg (2:1:1 starter:flour:water)The way I've done it in the past is not to throw anything away. Just keep adding flour and water to the starter until it really starts going. The key is not to dilute your culture if you can help it until it has really established itself.Once it really gets going I move from a 2:1:1 feed(starter:flour:water) to 1:2:2 and then down to 1:3:3 (actually I add more water than flour so it's a 1:3:4 - but that's just my preference).Hold off on the white flour - again until things really start going.Fingers crossed you've avoided the leuc stage. (which should have reared its head already if it was ever going to).Cheers,Toby
Toby,I did discard 75g of the culture in day 2 am, but am now feeding as scheduled. I am happy to hear I might have passed the leuc stage. I just fed the starter for tonight. I haven't noticed any unpleasant order so far. I wonder when or if the starter does double itself, does it matter what kind of white flour I use? I would either like to use high- gluten or KABF. What kind of white flour did you have the best results with?Thanks,Norma
Here in the UK, so far as I have tried - 00 flour is the 'best' (fastest fermenting) - but please understand that most of the flour here does not have malted barley added to bump up the enzyme levels. The flour I'm using to feed my white starter at the moment is an organic white (mostly english wheat: maris widgeon)...but only because I can order it in sacks at a reasonable price.I would think any of the KA range would be fine but honestly supermarket AP would probably do just as well. If I recall correctly, I was happily using Kroger unbleached AP while I was in TN.Cheers,Toby
Toby,Thanks again, for your information and I will post a picture (if or when it becomes more active).Thanks for helping me though this process and learning more about starters.Norma
A pleasure! If it weren't so fresh in my mind (from recent experiences) I might have been less forthcoming with details etc. This way, I get to review my own knowledge with the additional benefit of your experience. So thank *you*!Best of luck and I look forward to seeing some bread/pizza from your starters in the future.Cheers,Toby

Brow Wow!

- Stephanie Bodine said...
Hi ladies! I would LOVE to have a eyebrow make-over/consultation. I've NEVER had any professional brow waxing, consulting or anything of the sort. I hate the constant problem I have of over or underplucking and getting the shape just right! Anyway, I would love to win! and BTW if this helps...I love your blog and you two beauties are the best!:)

Ahh! This would be amazing! I have always struggled with the shape of my brows because of the way they grow and how low they are on my face. Im always raising my brows (like I'm surprised about something) in pictures, to get a somewhat decent arch! I am never sure whether to go thinner or how much to trim them? I would absolutely loooove some help with my brows!
- May 14, 2012 at 5:11 PM
- Erin said...
Oh, how I would love this opportunity to have them done right. I have only gone to a salon once to have them "done". That would be the first horror story, because they were uneven in the end... BUT alas the one story that takes the cake is how I decided to do my own "at home wax kit" the day BEFORE my wedding... I had some how managed to practically take one almost off, and the other was half missing. Lets just say thanks to my amazing (soon to be at the time) sister-in-law and her makeup capabilities, I managed to look normal on my wedding day.
I work 40 hrs a week, on top of taking care of my family. I never really take the time to pluck, shape, etc them. I hate to say it, but I do the worst thing you can do... lets just say my razor is my best friend!
I love your blog and all of the amazing advice you offer.

I would love my brows done. I don't have a certain brow disaster, but every time I look at a picture I cringe at my eyebrows..yikes! I've only had them waxed once so they've never been professionally shaped. I would love for mine to look anywhere near as good as yours do! yours are perfection! I love all the fashion/hair/make up tips you two give! My favorite blog:)

Angry Eye Brows
I don't want to have to end up drawing in "Angry Eyebrows" like my title suggest.
A favorite family story involves my sister and her A hour class in high school. During this class my sister witnessed a spicy Latina draw on her eyebrows with a sharpie marker day after day. One morning a boy in the class was making fun of this Latina for always applying her makeup in the classroom.
Since I understand how annoying a 17 year old boy can be this Latina lover turned around in her chair (without her sharpie brows drawn on) and in a very serious voice said ... "Don't make my draw on my angry eyebrows". And in fact, she did draw on those angry eyebrows.
With a black sharpie marker.
And that ladies is why I need your services.
I don't want to have to resort to drawing on "angry eyebrows" ever in my life.

My worst brow story was plucking mine waaaayyy to thin! You know how awful that is right?! YIKES!
- May 15, 2012 at 6:09 AM
- Samantha said...
The only time my eyebrows ever got waxed was back in Jr. High! My sister was always telling me how bad my unibrow looked and was always trying to tweeze them for me. One day she finally convinced me to let her wax my eyebrows. YIKES!!! I was left with the thinnest brows ever! And the skin underneath was burned so for the next couple weeks I had scabs underneath my brows.
I'm sure it would be different with you! :) And if my eyebrows could look half as good as yours Courtney, I'd be super excited!

Hi ladies, I desperately need your service. I have been over waxed and plucked and have been trying to grow my brows back out for several months. I am scared to death of the eyebrow pencil. I am afraid of looking like the old ladies at church, you know who I am talking about, but I know if I learned how to use one, it would do wonders for me. Your skills and instruction would be greatly appreciated!

I have been waxing my eyebrows myself for years. Needless to say, I am no expert, but I do the best i know how. After watching your video on doing brows I have done my best to shape them but it would be SO AWESOME if I could have a personal consultation with you!! EEEEEK! I bought my first brow pencil from walmart and have been trying to use it, but again-- don't really know how!!
I come from a family with dark bushy eyebrows and I have to pluck DAILY to keep them under control!! Please pick me!!!

I need your help! I've never had my brows done professionally.. shame on me.. and would love the chance to have you work your magic!! I've noticed my eyebrows more and more in pictures lately.. they stick out like a sore thumb.. not sure what I'm doing wrong!
I'd love your help!!
PS I met you courtney at kristen's party last weekend.. hopefully my eyebrows weren't the first thing you noticed ;)

oh this would be so great for me...im the kind that gets my eyes waxed by the asian pedi girls...eww, i know. and the last thing i did was the threading(it felt pretty cool though). anyways, its been an extremely long time. between the time i take training for my triathlon and raising my three boys...my fashion/beauty is lacking...actually, lets be honest, its non-existent!

I LOVE TBM, and I would LOVE to win! I've never had my brows shaped professionally, just by a nail salon and recently by my mother in law. Bless her heart she tried her best but took off a little too much on one brow and I've been trying to grow them back in! She gave me a wax kit so I could do them myself and she wouldn't be to blame for the uneven-ness, but I'm terrified to use it because I just know with one swift motion my whole brow would be gone! I also have a four month old baby girl, so getting around to making time for my brows is sadly not my top priority! I hate to neglect them (and I'm sure my husband hates it too) so send me some brow lovin'!! :)

I think you gals are beautiful and would love if you would work your magic on me. My eyebrows resemble the red angry bird...

Im pretty sure the last time i got my brows waxed was right before i got pregnant (my baby is 9 months old!)i was so desperate that i let a lady at a nail salon do it.(i know i know, thats a BIG NO NO!) needless to say i needed to let them grow for a while. i tweezed a little while i was pregnant but i have not touched them since i have had my baby! gag! for a long time i had heavy straight bangs that covered them so i thought it was ok because they were hidden. now that its summer i am pinning my bangs back a lot and letting my hairy catapillers show! i need HELP ASAP!!

oh where to begin... the unibrow that haunts me in pictures of middle school? the "scissors incident" when i actually CUT my eyebrows with fiskars kids scissors because i was so embarrassed by them but too embarrassed to ask my mom for help? (it didn't end well ps) my waxes performed by random asian women in sketchy back rooms of nail salons? sometimes i pluck too much, sometimes not enough ... i need help and will be in az next month!

United Way looks for volunteers for tax preparation program
In 2013 volunteers from the countywide Volunteer Income Tax Assistance coalition prepared 1,317 state and federal tax returns garnering a total of $2,109,312 in federal and state refunds.
The United Way of Northern Chautauqua County, part of the Chautauqua County VITA Coalition, is looking for volunteers from the community to assist with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistant (VITA) program during the upcoming tax season.
The Chautauqua County VITA Coalition works with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to provide free, basic income tax preparation services to community members with low to moderate incomes.
No experience is necessary. All volunteers receive appropriate training for their involvement in the program. Along with a specific training session in January, volunteers will also receive self-study materials describing basic income tax law for federal and state returns.
Trained volunteer preparers explain credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and help individuals complete and electronically file their tax returns, all for FREE. Refunds can be deposited directly into a bank account within seven to 10 days.
Volunteers are covered under the Volunteer Protection Act and are not accountable for tax returns filed to the IRS.
For those who are interested in helping but are concerned tax preparation is not for them, volunteers are needed to serve as greeters and translators.
Greeters create a welcoming atmosphere at the VITA sites while helping to check in families and individuals accessing VITA services. While tax training is not required for greeters, a positive attitude is critical to being effective in this important role.
VITA needs of volunteer translators for clients who speak English as a second language. The greatest need is for translators fluent in Spanish.
Potential volunteers are encouraged to contact us through the Volunteer Center website at www.volunteerwny.org.
Once at the Volunteer Center website, to the left, look for a yellow box titled Find Volunteer Opportunities. In the box, for keyword, type "Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program and for zip code type "14048," and click the search button.

Has anybody experimented with the Giusto bread flour?? Might be one to try.
I have already received harsh criticism and comments I don't particularly think reflects the unique contribution I have given to this forum, thus I have decided to limit my posts on avoiding confusion rather then explaining and revealing.Ciao
Hi Guys,It surprise me and make me smile every time I read a new thread on this forum where a member or a group get excited about a new thing... You have the excitement most professional lack.
pizzanapoletana,..It sounds like from your post that true Neapolitan pizza has the crust texture Bill and I set as our goal. .
I find that to be strange for an Italian flour whose protein level is similar to Caputo. It is a much stronger flour without increasing the protein levels.
As fate would have it, Home Depot sent an email out last week with a 10% off code so I figured why not take a look. Long story short I found a Magic Chef Pizza Cooler that can get the job done. Don't worry about the wine bottles in the picture, they are there for increased WAF, pure decoration, and libation afterwards. So for $90 delivered I have a Pizza Cooler that will reach the perfect range. Did I mention it barely reaches the zone of perfection?. There may be times when I have to place the unit in the sun to hit the range but I know I can get there. I will certainly have a new use for my trusty RayTek Laser Thermometer to make sure I am in compliance.

Casual duty attire
this wiki
(covers information from several alternate timelines)
Casual duty attire was informal clothing worn instead of a standard uniform while on duty.
On some Starfleet vessels, certain crew members were granted permission, at the captain's discretion, to wear casual duty attire while serving on board. This diversion from the standard uniform code was typically granted to senior officers in specialized positions. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part I")
22nd centuryEdit
T'Pol's uniform Edit
In 2153, Enterprise NX-01 science officer T'Pol resigned from the Vulcan High Command. (ENT: "The Expanse") As she was no longer permitted to wear her former uniform as a civilian, she opted to don brightly colored, tight-fitting jumpsuits while on duty. (ENT: "The Xindi") After T'Pol accepted a commission to commander in 2154, her civilian jumpsuits were modified to include division coloring, rank insignia, and other details consistent with standard uniforms of the period. (ENT: "Borderland") T'Pol continued to wear variations of her civilian jumpsuits until at least 2161. (ENT: "These Are the Voyages...")
23rd century Edit
Wraparound tunic Edit
Mid 2260s-Early 2270s Edit
Captains had a choice of relaxed clothing to wear when on duty, in the form of a wraparound tunic. James T. Kirk favored two green variations. Charles Evans also wore a beige version of this tunic, though where it originated from is unknown. (TOS: "The Enemy Within", "Charlie X", "The Doomsday Machine")
The captain of the USS Defiant also had a green tunic when the ship disappeared through a spatial rift in 2268, to reemerge in the mirror universe in the year 2155, where Jonathan Archer found the tunic in his quarters and wore it himself. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")
Mid 2270s Edit
This wraparound tunic was worn by Lieutenant Commander Hikaru Sulu shortly before the USS Enterprise departed drydock to confront V'ger and during Admiral Kirk's briefing to the entire crew. This tunic had short sleeves and was worn over a black undershirt. Epaulets denoting rank were found on the tunic. Pants matching the color of the jacket were also worn. A metal Starfleet emblem found near the waist on the jacket was used to close it over the undershirt. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
Bomber jacket Edit
In keeping with the Starfleet practice of allowing officers of command rank to wear a less formal variant of the uniform, starting in the late 2270s command officers were given the option of wearing a suede leather bomber jacket version of the uniform. This was worn over the department color turtle neck. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
24th centuryEdit
Deanna Troi's duty attire Edit
Between 2364 and 2370, Deanna Troi frequently wore casual, nonuniform attire while on duty as ship's counselor, as an alternative to a standard Starfleet uniform. She primarily favored unitards in a variety of colors. (TNG: "The Naked Now" – TNG Season 6) Occasionally, she wore a turquoise variant with a long skirt. (TNG: "The Survivors")
While serving under Edward Jellico in 2369, she was ordered to wear a standard uniform while on duty. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part I") After Jellico's order, she wore a traditional uniform almost exclusively during the rest of her posting aboard the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG Season 6 – Star Trek Generations)
Captain's variant Edit
By 2368, Starfleet had a uniform variant available to commanding officers in service aboard starships, consisting of a red command division suede jacket featuring banded cuffs and either leather or fabric black shoulders. Less formal than the standard duty uniform, this "captain's jacket" was a more casual dress option, with trousers reminiscent of the previous Starfleet uniform. (TNG: "Darmok", "Ensign Ro")

5 Predictions for 2014 From a Wall Street Insider
So let's give the floor to Chicago's Nuveen Asset Management and its chief equity strategist, Robert C. Doll, as he canvasses the economy and offers some hard-hitting predictions for the new year.
If Doll is right, it could translate into a good one for bank savers and retirement investors. If not, well, we'll wait until 2015 to take Doll to task. (In Doll's 2013 predictions, he called a slow-growing economy, held back by higher taxes and weaker government spending from the sequestration, and a fast-rising stock market -- on the mark for 2013.)
Here are five of Doll's predictions for the economy, investors and personal finance consumers this year:
The U.S. economy will grow by 3%. Doll says the economy will grow at a faster clip, as housing starts surpass 1 million new homes and private employment hits an all-time high. "After several false starts, the economic recovery which commenced in mid-2009 will likely show some broader and stronger growth in 2014," he says. Aside from a stronger housing market and an improving jobs sector, Doll cites "easing lending standards, low inflation, all-time high net worth, rising capital expenditures, less fiscal drag and improving non-U.S. growth."
Interest rates will rise. The current 10-Year Treasury yield stands at 2.99% as of Wednesday, but Doll says 10-year yields will rise to 3.50% this year, which would likely hike borrowing costs for big purchases such as mortgages, cars and student loans. It's all about the Federal Reserve's move to back away gradually in the nation's mortgage bond market. "We expect the bear market in bonds that began some 18 months ago to continue as interest rates slowly normalize," Doll says. "While the Fed will keep policy rates anchored close to zero, the long-awaited tapering process will likely be completed during the course of 2014."
Inflation will remain low, but only through 2014. Consumer can breathe a sigh of relief, as Doll expects the inflation rate -- steady at 1.2% right now, to remain low. That should keep the costs of many goods lower, as prices are linked strongly to inflation. But in 2015, that scenario should change. "While no significant rise in inflation is likely, it is also likely that by the end of 2014, it will be clear inflation has made a bottom," he predicts.
Stocks will rise, but at a softer clip. Doll anticipates a 10% correction in the stock market, as last year has apparently "stolen" some of 2014's equity upside thunder. As the year goes on, though, stocks will make up ground. Doll doesn't put a hard number on it, but any gain past the rate of inflation would add more luster to stock portfolios, 401(k)s and individual retirement accounts.

Kazin, Alfred
Alfred Kazin 1915–1998
American critic, autobiographer, essayist, and editor.
For further information on Kazin's life and career, see CLC, Volumes 34 and 38.
Best known for his study of twentieth-century American literature, On Native Grounds (1942), Kazin was highly regarded as an influential critic for his ability to analyze a literary work in conjunction with the author's heritage and the prevailing social climate. On Native Grounds outlines the beginnings of social realism in American literature. Kazin correlates its rise with the enormous political and technological developments of the early 1900s, yet he also maintains that most writers felt estranged from their environment during this period. Kazin continued to explore the relationship between literature and society in The Inmost Leaf (1955), Contemporaries (1962), Bright Book of Life (1973), An American Procession (1984), A Writer's America: Landscape in Literature (1988), Writing Was Everything (1995), and God and the American Writer (1997). Kazin was also well regarded for his autobiographical works and memoirs. In A Walker in the City (1951), he recounts his youth in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn during the Great Depression. Starting Out in the Thirties (1965) chronicles his early years as a critic and includes sketches of prominent writers he met during those years. In New York Jew (1978), Kazin narrates his experiences from 1942 through the late 1970s. Kazin also edited A Lifetime Burning in Every Moment (1996), a volume of selected excerpts from his journals. Philip Roth commented on Kazin's contribution to American literature: "To understand what a colossal achievement Alfred's life was, one has only to remember that in 1942, when he was still in his 20s—and the Brooklyn-born son of uneducated Yiddish-speaking immigrants—he wrote On Native Grounds, a brilliant re-interpretation of American literature from William Dean Howells to William Faulkner, a book of literary criticism which read like a passionate communication intended for intelligent, living human beings rather than like a 1940s academic exercise or a 1930s political tract. He was America's best reader of American literature in this century." Kazin continued to write until his death on his eighty-third birthday—June 5, 1998—in New York City.

David Rains Wallace (review date 23 October 1988)
SOURCE: "All We Surveyed," in New York Times Book Review, October 23, 1998, Section 7, p. 9.
[Wallace is an American critic and author of Life in the Balance, a companion volume to the PBS Audubon television specials of the same name. In the following review, he offers a largely favorable assessment of A Writer's America.]
At a lime when nature writing is undergoing a certain vogue, largely in the form of anthologies published by small presses, it is instructive to have a book on American landscape and literature from a major literary critic and mainstream publisher. [In A Writer's America: Landscape in Literature] Alfred Kazin reminds us that nature is not only the subject of a genre but a fundamental concern of the American classics, from Poe and Melville to Faulkner and Hemingway. He enhances his argument, and the book's attractiveness, with a lively selection of art and photographs.
In America, Western civilization encountered a natural world that seemed unmarked by agriculture, religion, industry or other attributes of human culture. (For various reasons, the fact that the native peoples possessed all these attributes proved easy to ignore.) As Mr. Kazin observes, the existence of such a world and the potential for its profitable exploitation caused an exhilaration and at the same time an uneasiness and guilt. Both the exhilaration and the guilt have persisted through...

[In the following excerpt, Cohen provides a laudatory review of A Writer's America.]
[In A Writer's America: Landscape in Literature] Kazin's landscape of nature is panoramic, embracing seascape and cityscape. His time span is roughly from the Revolution to the present, and a walker in the city, he has a special interest in the power that cities exert on the land. From the westward prospect of Jefferson's Monticello, the "little mountain," Kazin's vista reaches across the continent, encompassing regional distinction and local colouration as it extends towards the California coast, and the passage beyond the Pacific toward Whitman's India and "more than India." His book is diffuse, as if writer of his title is Kazin himself, ranging the continent and savouring its history and diversity and even now, its promise. It is not a scholarly book with a discovery to reveal or a thesis to assert. Rather, it seems almost a summary of the travels of a provincial American joyously traversing the land that his come to possess him. It has a casual quality, a disdain for the intrusion of documentation, and a willingness to repeat, guidebook fashion, the standard information about American Literary landmarks interwoven with beautifully precise and profound observations of his own. It is hard to decide what kind of book Kazin has written. A guidebook, perhaps. But one for both the novice and experienced traveller.
Sanford Pinsker (review date Fall 1995)
SOURCE: "The Stuff That Good Writing is Made Of," in Sewanee Review, Vol. CIII, No. 4, Fall, 1995, pp. 661-66.
[In the following excerpt, Pinsker surveys Writing Was Everything, concluding that Kazin "worries that writing will no longer be everything, at the same time he keeps insisting that it must be precisely that."]
Perhaps nothing gets closer to explaining how good writing happens than these remarks by Philip Roth's fictional character E.I. Lonoff: "I turn sentences around. That's my life. I write a sentence and then turn it around. Then I look at it and I turn it around again." The Ghost Writer (1979) is not only about the complicated turns...

Alfred Kazin is our grand old man of letters, supreme keeper of the now-flickering literary flame.

[In the following review, Adams offers high praise for Kazin's body of work, including Writing Was Everything.]
Alfred Kazin's modest memoir, Writing Was Everything, marks its author's entry into his ninth decade. This, if ever, is a proper time to summarize and retrospect. (I remember the surprise with which I learned that my classmate and coeval at Columbia College, Thomas Merton, had written and published to acclaim his full life history, before I'd so much as started living my life, let alone written the history of it.)

[Benfey is an American educator and critic. The following is his commendatory review of Writing Was Everything.]
The greatest literary critic now at work in America? Hard to name anyone to challenge Alfred Kazin; and not just because, having turned 80 this year, he has outlived the competition. What he has over his younger successors (whom he graciously describes as writing literary journalism that is "smarter, more detached, always performing and performative, than it was when I began") is a genuine humility in the presence of major art, and a concomitant...

As the twentieth century ends, New York Jewish intellectuals are finally getting some goyishe naches: great prizes, triumphal banquets and conferences while they live, splendid memorial services when they die, page-one obits and reviews.

[In the following review, Brown provides a summary of Writing Was Everything.]
First presented as a series of lectures at Harvard in 1994, Writing Was Everything consists of three sections: "All Critics Are Mortal," "During the War," and "After the War." Alfred Kazin has lived what the French critic Claude-E. Magny characterized as "the age of the American novel" and has known many of the outstanding writers, European as well as American, of the period.

[Alter is an American translator, author, and critic. In the following review, he offers a laudatory assessment of A Lifetime Burning in Every Moment.]
In over half a century of activity as a writer, Alfred Kazin has often been associated with "the New York intellectuals." In some minds, Kazin-Howe-Trilling-Rahv and company form a continuous blur. Kazin himself has intermittently acted as their chronicler in four memoiristic volumes. A Lifetime Burning in Every Moment offers a very different mode of self-presentation from his sundry memoirs, and it makes clear that in...

The original edition of An American Procession appeared in 1984. It has now been reissued as a paperback by Harvard, with no additions to the original text except for a brief preface. An American Procession forms the second part of a projected trilogy ("yes, I love trilogies") of which the first was On Native Grounds (1942), an interpretation of American prose literature from 1890 to 1940.

Alfred Kazin has got to be the most impassioned reader of literature in all of American life right now—a reader so filled with emotion that, like an ardent lover, he seems nearly to tremble at the sight of his beloved, which is a good book. The intensity comes, I think, partly from the immigrant struggles of his Brooklyn upbringing long ago, so that even now, in his 80's, he gazes outward on America's classic literature as on the sunny shore of his own salvation—from parochialism, poverty, European persecution,...

[In the following essay, Schuessler surveys Kazin's life and works, and includes commentary from the author.]
Few writers in the annuals of American letters have lived so public a private life as Alfred Kazin. In his classic 1951 memoir, Walker in the City, Kazin drew an unforgettably vivid portrait of the literary critic as a young man in the working-class Jewish enclave of Brownsville, Brooklyn, walking and reading his way back to the old America of the 19th century, "that fork in the road where all American lives cross," even as he catalogued the...

On the last page of New York Jew (1978), the third installment in Alfred Kazin's account of his life's journey from the slums of Brownsville to the slopes of Parnassus, the author finds himself at a literary party high above Lincoln Center. Across the Hudson, on the shores of New Jersey, a fire rages.

Let us begin by praising Alfred Kazin. Now in his eighties, he has lived long with books, and literature matters greatly to him. All that he has written since On Native Ground (1942) testifies to that. Today, if you drop in on an English-literature class, you are likely to hear a lecture on kinky sex, amateur epistemology, Marxism, racial oppression, the Third World, or the atom bomb. What a relief to turn to Mr. Kazin.

During the 1997 Harbourfront Literary Festival in Toronto, Alfred Kazin delivered a talk in a theater at a sumptuous lakeside shopping center on the role of religion in American letters. The lecture was drawn substantially from his introduction to the volume under review.

My copy of Alfred Kazin's masterpiece, On Native Grounds (1942), is an English edition printed in accordance with wartime production standards on cheap paper and bound in boards not much more rigid than matchbook covers. It was bought by my mother in a London bookstall in 1943, the year the German army was stopped at Stalingrad expelled from Africa by Montgomery and Patton.

Like when this good deal for NO turns into Odom pouting and demanding to be traded to a large market, er,contender. And you have to take 60 cents on the dollar to move him. And Scola says, well if he is leaving I want out. Then Kevin Martin blows up by taking 35 shots a game and he demands to be traded. Where does it end?
So you start out getting Odom, Scola, Martin and a #1. Which turns out to be Kris Humphries, Ryan Hollins and Ramon Seesions, Jason Kidd's corpse and the 20th overall pick. For Chris Paul.
Who is to say this deal is the best deal they could have received. As good as it may be, what if some small market was going to offer something better. Shit, what if NO liked the Celtics offer more? They cannot do it because Paul won't sign an extension. Which is the bullshit of what is going down right now.
You cannot let the player limit your opportunity to make the best deal possible. And they are.
The bullshit is that he has the right to not sign an extension in a place he doesn't want to play, when he has the right to opt out of his contract? The fuck?
Odom, Scola, and Martin should all be worth at least a late 1st rounder. If they flip them all, they would have 5 1sts rounders in one of the deepest drafts in recent memory, including their own which would be pretty high if they flipped all those pieces for picks. As the deal stands, they should be able to secure a playoff spot.
So what is NOLA liked the Celtics offer better? The Celtics retracted it.
The Celtics have no choice but to retract it. Because Bitch Paul won't sign an extension.
NO got a good deal in the Laker trade. No doubt. But you will never know if it was the best one available because only 3 teams are allowed to make an offer.
I agree, if you are a fan of the NBA, the superteam concept is great. If you are a fan of a team that is not in a large market and/or fantastic weather location, it blows. Big time.
Don't think I am not pissed the bitch owners backed off what they really wanted to be able to put some money in their pockets this season.

Seaplane pilots spoke up last fall when a survey was conducted regarding the use of Whitehorse's Schwatka Lake. In fact, 84% of the comments received were aviation oriented! Now, the City of Whitehorse is about to consider the Draft Schwatka Lake Area Plan, and your comments are again needed, and due by September 1st. Please take a minute to look the plan over, and comment TODAY!
The draft plan proposes significantly expanding float plane facilities, yet leaves addressing the needs of transient users to local businesses without any definition of transient parking slips or fueling facilities. Another section of the plan calls for moving non-motorized boat operations, which have traditionally used the east side of the lake, to the west side. This could put them in conflict with float plane operations. Also called for is the establishment of a working group to implement the Schwatka Lake Area Plan. It seems that this group should include a stakeholder to represent the interests of the transient seaplane users.
From my quick read of the document, I would recommend commenting on the following points:
- Given the international and tourism impacts of aircraft flying between the US, Canada and Alaska, more specifically identify the plans for transient floatplane tie-down spots, refueling facilities, surface transportation, access to telephone and restroom facilities, even if they are provided by private business interests.
- Express concerns about changing use patterns on the lake between floatplane and non-motorized boat users which could impact safety, and impact the viability of the lake for floatplane operations in the long run.
- Urge the City to designate a transient float plane stakeholder on the working group to implement the plan.
The plan is available online. Comments may be made by email to city planner Erica Beasley [email protected] . The Yukon COPA Chapter suggests sending a copy to [email protected] The deadline is September 1, so ACT TODAY!

Lopez takes taekwondo bronze; Iran, S. Korea win
BEIJING (AP) Hwang Kyung-seon won South Korea its third gold medal in taekwondo on Friday, and Iran's Hadi Saei captured the men's 80-kilogram-class after an upset sent favorite Steven Lopez of the United States to a quarterfinal loss.
Lopez, the defending Athens gold medalist, came back to add a bronze to the silver and bronze won by his younger brother and sister on Thursday.
Saei, who won the gold in a lower weight class in the 2004 Games, went ahead in the first round against Italy's Mauro Sarmiento, but Sarmiento hit him squarely with a head kick to take a 4-2 lead.
Saei landed a kick in the second round to move within a point, then another to Sarmiento's side to tie the score 4-4 going into the final round. He came out quickly in the third, scoring another point for the lead and added on a sixth point to seal the victory.
Lopez scored on Rashad Ahmadov of Azerbaijan in the final seconds to win bronze. The second bronze went to Zhu Guo of China, who defeated Aaron Cook of Britain 4-1.
Saei moved easily through his group, taking his first match with a 7-point margin, then winning 3-2 over Zhu and 4-1 in the semis against Ahmadov.
Sarmiento - coming off a leg injury that has slowed him since 2006 - narrowly made it to the semis by defeating Lopez in a quarterfinal that went into overtime.
Lopez, who hadn't lost a bout since 2002, was the heavy favorite.
Lopez fought Bahri Tanrikulu of Turkey in his opening bout, a rematch of their final in the Athens Games.
After a scoreless first round, Tanrikulu, a two-time world champion, hit with a roundhouse kick with 20 seconds to go in the second round to take the lead. Lopez came back at the start of round three to score two points and added another to go ahead 3-1. Tanrikulu had a point deducted just before the bell and the match ended 3-0 for Lopez.
But Lopez' luck then ran out.
He led 2-0 going into the final round of the quarters, but was scored on and then dropped a point for a penalty to go into overtime with Sarmiento. With time running out, Sarmiento nailed Lopez with a jumping kick as the Texan lunged forward.
The U.S. team protested the point deduction in the third round, saying it was a legal defensive move and not an illegal chop kick, but the protest was not accepted.
"We were manhandled, we were threatened not to protest, but we continued out of good faith," said team leader Herb Perez. "We don't feel we were given a level playing field."
Though they fell short of the golds, the Lopez family made U.S. Olympic history.
On Thursday, Lopez brother Mark won a silver in men's 68-kg and sister Diana a bronze in women's 57-kg.
They are the first three siblings to compete for the United States in the same Olympics since the gymnasts Edward, William and Richard Tritschler competed in St. Louis in 1904 but failed to medal.
In Friday's women's final, Hwang defeated Canada's Karine Sergerie with a kick in the final seconds to win the women's 67-kg class.
Hwang, launching few attacks, trailed Sergerie by a kick as the first round ended, but came back with 30 seconds left in the second round to tie it up. She scored with a back kick with 35 seconds left to win.
Hwang, who was the Athens bronze medalist and world champion in 2005 and 2007, cruised through her opening bout with a 5-1 score.
She fought a cautious quarterfinal but went ahead in the second round and used a counterattack kick in the third to win 3-1. In the semi, she squared off with longtime rival Gwladys Epangue of France. She won in overtime.
The bronze medals went to Epangue and Sandra Saric of Croatia.

Jury hands down murder indictment
April 26, 2013
A grand jury returned a first-degree murder indictment Friday against Daniel Murrell III, 23, of Clovis, who is accused of inflicting fatal injuries during the robbery and beating of 61-year-old Joe Garcia, according to District Attorney Matt Chandler.
Murrell is accused of being the ringleader behind two muggings in January that injured Garcia and 82-year-old David Shober.
Garcia was attacked while walking home from a convenience store near 11th and Mitchell. He died of injuries from the beating three days later.
Shober said he was attacked after surprising a gunman in his garage, who repeatedly struck him in the head with a handgun.
The man police identified as Murrell's accomplice in both attacks, Terrill Smolar, 20, of Clovis, remains in Curry County jail in lieu of $35,000 facing accessory to robbery charges.
Murrell is being held at the jail without bond.

It's not because the x86 is superior. A lot of other architectures are better than the x86 by a long shot.
Intel Corp. will use its common advantages, high-volume leading-edge production as well as advanced CPU design capabilities, to fight system-on-chips based on ARM architecture. The company claims that eventually it will offer better performance and lower power consumption compared to ARM-based offerings and that x86 technology still has a lot of advantages compared to ARM.
"As we have done for decades in the traditional computing markets, we will apply the world's most advanced silicon transistor technology to these new [mobile] segments [where ARM is gaining presence] to deliver the lowest power, highest performance, lowest cost products on the planet. When these chips are combined with our support for the world's leading mobile operating systems, our proven ability to create broad ecosystem support and our growing software capabilities, I am confident we will be very successful in these segments," said Paul Otellini, chief executive of Intel Corp. during the quarterly conference call with financial analysts.
The head of Intel reiterated his thought that support of ARM chips by Microsoft Windows 8 operating system will allow x86 microprocessors by Intel to tap such markets as tablets and smartphones.
"The plus for Intel is that, as they unify their operating systems, we now have the ability for the first time, one to have design from scratch, touch enabled operating system for tablets that runs on Intel that we don't have today. Secondly, we have the ability to put our lowest power Intel processors running Windows 8 or next generation Windows into phones, because of the same OS stack and I look at that as an upside opportunity for us," said Mr. Otellini.
Of course, Intel enjoyed exclusive Windows support for x86, but it believes that even on those markets the x86 architecture will provide a number of benefits compared to SoCs featuring ARM cores.
"On the downside, there is a potential given that Office runs on this products for – there is some creep up coming into, let's say, PC space. I am skeptical of that for two reasons: one, that space has a different set of power performance requirements where Intel is exceptionally good; secondly, users of those machines expect legacy support in terms of software and peripherals that has to all be enabled from scratch for those devices," claimed the head of Intel.
Later this year Intel plans to release its code-named Medfield system-on-chip made using 32nm process technology. The company promises that the SoC will be as power efficient as comparable ARM-based products.

In line with the trends for ultra low-power servers, Advanced Micro Devices said that it would test its processors based on the Bobcat micro-architecture in server environments. Considering the fact that AMD already has very low power chips for servers, feasibility of using Bobcat micro-architecture is not clear.
"We are definitely in the process of examining this as a design point. It would be foolish not to," said Donald Newell, AMD's new server chief technology officer, in an interview with IDG News Service.
The interest towards low-power servers is growing nowadays. Both AMD and Intel have introduce server Opteron or Xeon chips with massively reduced power consumption in the recent years and AMD this year even managed to squeeze a quad-core AMD Opteron chip into 35W thermal envelope. There are companies experimenting with Intel Atom and Via Nano chips in server environments, but so far such machines have not gained popularity. ARM, the leading developer of low-power architectures for mobile devices, also says that some of its partners are exploring feasibility of using ARM-based microprocessors in servers.
But before Bobcat micro-architecture is implemented in a server chip, AMD has to analyze data like power-versus-performance benefits for specific tasks, including some that are not compute or time sensitive.
"There's only a few papers and there's a lot more data to collect. It really depends on a number of factors to whether or not that's a good design point," said Mr. Newell.
It is clear that Bobcat processors will provide lower idle power compared to AMD Opteron chips based on K10.5 or Bulldozer micro-architectures. But the big question is whether Bobcat chips will actually be able to work fast enough to provide decent performance.
"There's a certain amount of computation to be done, and a certain amount of time for it to be done. The large cores will get more work done in a single amount of time and get you a better answer," concluded the new server CTO of AMD.

|adidas adizero Feather III Men's Shoe Scores
An extended length, some useful mass and a generous sweetspot all combined to provide a powerful and spin-friendly response from the Volkl Organix 7 (310g). From the baseline, it soon became evident that finding enough power and directional control to control the point would not be an issue with this racquet. Thanks to a healthy dose of Volkl feel there was ample control and touch when looking to mix things up. A true all-court racquet, the Organix 7 (310g) felt solid, yet fast, from deep behind the baseline all the way to a finishing volley on top of the net. The extra length added some spin and pace to both first and second serves. All in all, this addition to the Organix line impressed with its versatile blend of power, control, stability and maneuverability.

"This is a surprisingly good racquet. I'm not usually a huge fan of extended length racquets because I don't like to feel too far away from the tip of the racquet on one-handed topspin backhands. However, this one hides its length well. The length was really only noticeable in that I was finding it very easy to generate pace and spin. The racquet maneuvered like a standard length racquet, so the racquet tip never felt like it was dragging through the arc of my swing slower than I'd like. I was getting some nice spin on the ball on topspin shots. It really helped me add some height over the net on my down-the-line forehand while still letting me hit with the same pace and accuracy. The added height I was getting was a nice safety net on an aggressive shot. I found myself very willing to change the direction of play with this racquet thanks to the way I could whip it around and control both spin and direction with ease. While I gravitate toward the feel of heavier, more classic racquets, I can't ignore the benefits of swinging something lighter, faster and more powerful. Racquets like this simply take some of the effort out of play and make finding pace and spin easier."
"Volleys are where I started to groove on the classic Volkl feel that's in this racquet. I felt zoned in on my touch and placement volleys. While this racquet is not as buttery smooth feeling as my Volkl C10 Pro, you can tell they are both from the same lineage. This racquet plays crisper and has some of that modern point-and-shoot power and precision to it. I felt I could snap away high volleys with ease and even added some grunt without fear of over hitting. There was enough mass to help me dig out tough low volleys. and I enjoyed the slightly longer length when stretched wide. I used polyester-based strings for the entire test and found them to be a good complement to this racquet. With a dead string in the racquet I could drop angle and touch volleys nice and short. The powerful response of the racquet still meant I had plenty of power on tap, and the sweetspot still felt generous despite the stiff poly stringbed."
"My serves benefited nicely from this racquet. This was where I felt I could put the added length to the most use. We have more than one running joke here among the TW test crew about the pace, or lack thereof, of my serve. I'm the first to admit I'm not a big server. For instance, back in college I had a 1972 VW Super Beetle that accelerated faster than my serve. Now, I'm not saying this racquet turned me into a server like Andy Roddick, but it definitely allowed me to find pace with less effort. I was getting good spin, too, and that increased my margin of error. I was able to hit my targets with all the pace I could muster and I felt confident trying to stay on the gas on second serves. As from everywhere else on court, the racquet felt comfortable and the response was good even when my timing wasn't. I could add some weight to this racquet to up the pace even more. As I've learned from testing many, many racquets, I can usually eek out a few more mph with a heavy stick."
"The best way I can describe how this racquet feels on returns is that it's part Babolat Pure Drive and part classic Volkl. I found the power and spin I'd usually attribute to a Pure Drive-like racquet, yet there was some added feel and control, which was a constant reminder that I was hitting with a Volkl. I was able to swing away aggressively when looking to find both depth and pace. Even on angle returns, I found myself keeping my racquet speed up as I felt very confident in finding my targets. I liked the response and feel of the racquet. The stringbed (with a poly) felt controlled and crisp, but with lots of feel and a solid amount of comfort. There was enough mass on defensive returns to drive or chip the ball deep and help keep me in the point. On my backhand side I like to slice the ball short to bring my opponents inside the court and force them to hit a tough, low-skidding ball. I found good success with that shot with this racquet, which made it a good fit for me because that is such a bread and butter shot for my game."
"I liked the controlled power, easy spin, comfort, crisp feel and touch."
"Personally, I would add some weight to the handle and maybe a touch at the head, but that's just my personal preference. I liked the response of the stock weight just fine."
"I found a power level that was getting close to a Pure Drive-like racquet but with more feel and touch -- as I expect from a Volkl or Head racquet. The added length makes it somewhat unique in its weight and spec class. For me it would be an alternative to something like the Wilson BLX Juice Pro or the Babolat 2013 AeroPro Drive Plus, and a good option for someone seeking more pop than the Organix 9."
