Also, the Illuminati isn't real. I don't care if Dave Chappele (a very credible member of society) disagrees with that. And what's wrong with not making your own music or videos? Producing is a VERY specific skill, and in a lot of cases it comes down to having the "ear" to make a proper song. Just because Hopsin has a talent in that respect he can look down on others for not? Is Tom Hardy a fake and a fraud because he doesn't direct his own movies?
Also, Hopsin signed to Ruthless and had they not been a bullshit lable nowadays, he'd have been doing the exact same as everyone else. He's like CM Punk in wrestling. He claims he doesn't do what his bosses tell him, but that's only because he was gifted the oppertunity to speak. There are billions of guys like Hopsin who don't get the oppertunity to be heard like he does. He can't look down on them if they try to achieve their dreams and sign to a record lable. It's what they've always wanted and because it's something he doesnt, he thinks it's selling out. Drake always wanted to be a big name. He wanted to be a big actor, now he wants to be a big recording artist. He achieved that goal and now he is. Can Hopsin really look down on him for that? Hopsin has talents, and believes that others who don't have those talents are inferior to him. Did he think rappers who don't write their own stuff were a joke when he signed to Eazy E's record lable? (For the record, Eazy is my #3 all time regardless of ghostwriters).
He just got the oppertunity to be heard with a decent internet fan base. There are people who would look down on someone whoring themselves on youtube to get likes, and there will be people looking down on someone handing their CDs out on the street to get recognition. If someone wants to be a famous mainstream rapper, and they are successful in it, why do they need to be the most complex and talented lyricist?
And yeah, I got banned on my rap website of 6 years so good to get my old triple OG gangster talk out somewhere
Ha, why did you get banned?
I think theres an issue here. A big factor. One of us believes he's looking down on rappers. The other isn't. Listen closely to his lyrics and you'll realise he's incredibly humble. OK, not so much with his old stuff but more his recent stuff. I don't think he really has that much of a problem with people wanting to be a mainstream "rapper", the problem is that there are alot less talented people than him, Dizzy, SwizZz, Jared Benton, Rittz etc but are seen to be the cream of the crop because they are in the charts every week. I can understand this. OK, money rules the world and of course he, like evryone, wants lots of it. But he's not that obsessed with it to warrant signing to Sony, Warner or some shit like that. As far as the Illuminati go, theres a lot of misinformation out there, you just have to put the pieces of the puzzle together, join the lines. I've done a hell of alot of research on it and I'm not 100% decided yet but don't dismiss things without dong your
research. But this isn't the place to discuss it.
That being said, I get your feelings on Hopsin, what about SwizZz and Dizzy Wright? They make some righteous tunes.
This one makes me laugh.
And this one, the lyrics are crazy. Funny and thoughtful.
Probably needs to leave the Ruthless thing alone now though, I agree.

Sachem North junior Joe Caridi has verbally committed to play lacrosse at Stony Brook University, according to Sachem coach Jay Mauro.
Caridi has been on the varsity since his sophomore year. He started and had 22 goals and 15 assists last season. He is also a very good two-way midfielder and solid with his groundball game.
"Joe is a great kid who works extremely hard," Mauro said. "He is an excellent athlete with a great shot. He will be one of our leaders this year on offense. We expect big things from him and we know he will deliver."
Caridi is the second Sachem athlete from the Class of 2014 to commit to Stony Brook, joining teammate Mike Calvagna. Tyler Andreassi, who graduates this year, has also committed to Stony Brook where his brother Michael (Class of 2010) and former teammate Alex Harris (Class of 2010) are also playing.
Sachem's Mike Aronow has also committed to Penn State, while John Quinn has given his verbal to Army.

That is terrible advice and bound to create a lot of skybusters out of rookies. Steel can only kill effectively to about 40 yards. Figure out how far 40 yards is. Go to a football field if you have to. Use land marks when you are hunting to judge distance.
Once in a while you will get "the golden bb" and drop a duck that is far out of range so telling someone to figure it out by taking marginal shots will likely create some life long skybusters.
If in question let it go. If you can't decoy enough birds to get close shots where you don't even need to question the range then you really don't deserve them. Find somewhere better to hunt or learn how to be a better hunter. Do not take long or questionable shots that may wound a bird that will not be found.
Skybusters hurt everyones hunting including themselves.
Merlyn you want to teach your grandson how to be a better hunter I suggest teaching him that hunting is not about killing or "stacking" up numbers. It is about the whole experience. Teach him to respect the resource and hunt in ways that will limit the amount of lost birds. ie shooting at birds decoying in range.

Brookside Acres offers the ultimate in country accommodations and 140 private acres with trailheads that wind into the solitude of nature in all seasons. Trails will take you onto additional thousands of acres of private timber and state land. Plan on encountering wildlife but not people or noisy machines. Ride out on your own horse or slip on your hiking boots at the back door , grab your camera and take off for an hour or half the day. In summer, take a dip in our pool and soak up the sunshine. In winter, backcountry ski or snowshoe at your level of expertise, or just cozy up by the outdoor firepit with simmering hot chocolate. Watch the moon rise as you soak in your private hot tub right outside the door. However you choose to spend your day, you're sure to feel rejuvenated and rested in the 'Roost', our guest house at Brookside.
You may also enjoy skiing at any three ski resorts within 90 minutes of Brookside: 49 Degrees North, Mt. Spokane, and Schweitzer Ski Resort. Silver Mountain is a bit further. Stoneridge Golf and Recreation Resort is a ten-minute drive and offers year around pool and hot tub. You'll find many other golf courses for summer use in our area. And of course Silverwood Theme Park is a North Idaho jewel with a fantastic water park and amusement rides that will surprise you - 30 minutes away on country roads.
The 'Roost' has been in operation three years and has a fresh, new feel. At 1900 s.f. it is spacious but cozy. Many more photos of the ranch and accommodations are available to you at the Brookside website. Just click onto 'Links' at the top of the page. Our current rate is very affordable at $95 per night with accommodation for six.
We offer fine furnishings including comfortable king-sized beds, two full bathrooms and complete kitchen and laundry. The living room is equipped with a 36' TV, with TVO Direct TV and DVD machine (and a good supply of family approved movies). Enveloped by farm and timberland, you'll likely be wakened each morning by our friendly rooster, Beethoven, and lulled to sleep by the sounds of the nearby creek, horses nickering and coyotes crying in the distance.
Brookside Acres is located at the far west end of Blanchard Valley and, since 1939, has been a diary farm, a cattle ranch, has been logged numerous times as has the surrounding area. Larry and Bonnie Reichert are taking a more conservative approach and continue to raise hay for sale and their own livestock. Guests are welcome to bring their own horses and ride surrounding trails.
In the foothills of the Selkirks, Mt. Spokane at 5400' is the highest nearby mountain. Brookside Acres sits at 2700' and is accessed from the west over a small pass which elevation equals that of Snoqualmie Pass in the Washington Cascades. You'll normally find the pass enshrouded with snow through April. From the east, Brookside lies six miles from the town of Blanchard, Idaho.
We are certain that you'll enjoy and prize these surroundings as we do.

Tiffany Blue Piping
By far one of the most detailed piping works I've done. My hand just really can't take this much anymore. :( The bride had put the pressure on by telling me "This is my DREEEEAM cake". LOL! But she was moved to tears when she laid eyes on it....VERY satisfied. I want to be clear that this is NOT my own design. The bride brought me a picture. I've since seen the pic on Pinterest, but unable to find origin.

I want to get this straight about life in Pakistan. If I wrapped my body in explosives and wander into a crowd and blow myself up along with other innocent people, then I am assured of a place in Heaven. If I take out my weapon and blast away while some children are playing soccer, it is a guaranteed pass to enter Heaven. But, if I burn a page in the Koran, it is death for me. A fourteen year old girl in Pakistan who is mentally retarded was handed a book and she burned a few pages, supposedly from the Koran. This set thousands of people aflame with fire in their bodies and souls.
She was originally accused by a cleric and it later came out that he set the child up in order to set up crowds to cheer him and his nutty ideas about life and death. High Court Justice Iqbal Hameed ur Rahman, issued a decree that sets the girl free and cleans the record about blasphemy. This sweet innocent girl will no longer be subject to mad men and women who actually believe burning a page angers God. Actually, as a Jewish boy I was told that if I burned a page containing Hebrew it was a one way ticket to Hell.
Enough with burning pages. Enough with hailing men who cry death to fifteen year old girls. Frankly, I have no idea what happens to old books in Heaven. Reports indicate that some are burned due to lack of storage room in Heaven

Never ceasing to cause a ruckus wherever they go, the boys of One Direction hit up a local diner in their new trailer for "Midnight Memories."
Originally posted back in November, a photo of Harry Styles' bare behind surfaced on Twitter on Sunday (January 26).
In the pic, the One Direction member appears to be peeing in a bush with his pants pulled all the way down.
Paying a visit to an American childhood staple, the boys of One Direction are set to make an appearance on an upcoming episode of "Sesame Street."
The British boy band dropped a preview clip from the show, in which they sing "What Makes U Useful," a play on their hit song "What Makes You Beautiful."
They still haven't confirmed their relationship status, but Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles have no problem showing the world their affection.
The couple, who have been seen together numerous times the past two months, were photographed showing very rare displays of PDA this weekend while at an Eagles concert at the Forum in Los Angeles.
Doing a little post-holiday shopping, Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner showed up at a snowboard shop in Mammoth Lakes, California on Thursday (January 2).
The "Live While We're Young" crooner and the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" starlet looked to be enjoying themselves as they perused the shelves and found some winter fun gear.
Leaving little time for holiday festivities, One Direction continued to work on a music video in London, England on Friday (December 27).
The boys were shooting for "Midnight Memories," the latest single off of their new album of the same name.
Their relationship status is still up in the air, but if Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles are indeed an item the reality star's brother is not worried about his little sis.
He can rest a little easier today because Harry Styles learned that he won a court order against a paparazzo that harassed him.
The One Direction singer applied for protection against a pushy photographer after attempting to solve the matter peacefully.

Thursday, June 30, 2011 - 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Two fiscal experts, Robert Bixby and David Walker, will present possible solutions to the federal deficit and the rapidly increasing national debt. Concord's National Political Director, Phil Smith, will follow with an interactive budget exercise called Principles & Priorities.
David M. Walker is founder and CEO of the Comeback America Initiative and former Comptroller General of the United States. Robert L. Bixby is executive director of The Concord Coalition and member of the Bipartisan Policy Center's Debt Reduction Task Force. Their presentation will last about one hour and will include a short question and answer session at the end.
Congresswoman Gifford's office will be co-hosting the forum with help from the University of Arizona and the Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce.
To RSVP, please email email@example.com or call 520-881-3588.
The Concord Coalition believes that only with an engaged, informed and demanding public can the nation's fiscal challenges be met. The Concord Coalition's mission is to cut through the usual partisan rhetoric and stimulate a more realistic public dialogue on what we want our nation's future to look like, along with the required trade-offs. We believe that elected leaders in Washington know there is a problem, but they are unlikely to act unless forced to by their constituents.

Release Date: September 19, 2013
Publisher: Caped Publishing
Series: Knitting in the City #2
Characters: Elizabeth Finney, Niccolò Manganiello (aka Nico Moretti)
Age Group: Adult Romance
Pages: 423
Format: Kindle
Source: Author (Thank you a million times!)
Buy the Book: Amazon
Synopsis: There are three things you need to know about Elizabeth Finney: 1) She suffers from severe sarcastic syndrome, especially when she's unnerved, 2) No one unnerves her like Nico Manganiello, and 3) She knows how to knit. Elizabeth Finney is almost always right about everything: the musical merits of boy bands are undervalued by society, "benefits" with human Ken dolls are better without friendship, and the sun has set on her once-in-a-lifetime chance for true love. But when Elizabeth's plans for benefits without friendship are disarmed by the irritatingly charismatic and chauvinistic Nico Manganiello- her former nemesis- she finds herself struggling to maintain the electric fence around her heart while avoiding electrocution or, worse, falling in love.
*Friends Without Benefits can be read as a standalone.
My Review: How do I start this review? Hm. Maybe I can start by bowing to Penny Reid. Yup, that's the place to start. You genius piece of fabulous writer!
*crams crazy fangirl back inside, fixes hair and smiles politely*
I read Penny's first book in the Knitting in the City series, Neanderthal Seeks Human. I adored that book very, very much. I'm not going to expand much, but one of the main reasons I liked it so much was because Janie was so atypically smart and so uncomfortable in the social scene. I learned many cool facts from her and I laughed at all her antics. A lot of times I didn't particularly comprehend her, but really it just made her all the more real.
In this case, Elizabeth, who is Janie's best friend, is not shy or awkward. She's a bit rough around the edges and a bit of a tomboy.
Enters Nico.
Niccolò Manganiello you hot, sexy piece of fine Italian specimen. Okay, so from his first appearance I was pretty much a goner. He oozes charm like he learned before he even learned to walk. He's smooth, hot, funny and is very concerned over his niece which is simply heart-warming.
Elizabeth is still very much stuck in this whole awkward phase around Nico, I just feel for the poor woman. It's like she doesn't even know how to act. She's nervous because of all the things that happened in their past, but she just can't shake away the awareness for him or the attraction.
Nico is very persistent towards Elizabeth, he really likes her and he wants to be with her, but Elizabeth is just... well she's seriously muddled over everything. Elizabeth is a strong woman, but she's also very hard-headed and as much as Nico tries to tell her that she can move on from everything it's like she's stuck She isn't giving herself another chance at love. The dynamic between Nico and Elizabeth was simply explosive. They were great together, Nico was always teasing her and trying to get a rise out of her and it was fun to see Elizabeth's reactions.
Anywho... Now if I told you everything then what would be the point of you reading it, right? So, just trust me here and go read!

How Fast Would A Caddilac Hurse be with a 500 ci?
hi i was woundring how fast a caddilac hurse would be with a completaly rebiult stock 500 CI caddy BB? thanks.
Deadly Fast!!!! HAHAHA.....ah....nevermind
Give Dr. Chop a ring... he's the guru of the Caddy mill...
Used to have one, a three door Funeral car, used as a tow vehicle for an econodragster my brother raced, it went consistant 21.20"s (loaded with tool boxes etc.)
Hearse? Cadillac? What year?
Hearse? Cadillac? What year?
2.yes (not sure what kind)
3. i dotn know but the front end looks just like my old 83 fleetwood
Not very fast, unless you have a Sawzall...
and cut about a ton of weight out of the hearse.
Yes, I said a ton. Most hearses were right up around 7K pounds or so, theres a LOT of heavy steel that goes into doing a hearse conversion. Most of it is in the floor, and the casket rack/braces...
E-bay anything you take out, many times ppl are looking for those hard-to-find bits. A search for hearse clubs will turn up lots of potential parts buyers.
A bone-stock '76 500 motor has the camshaft and the ignition curve SERIOUSLY retarded for emissions reasons, and the later Q-jets are somewhat on the lean side, same reason.
The 8.5-1 C/R with the later 120 cc heads is not all that bad, you can run them on pump gas without pinging like a higher-compression/small chamber head on an early 70's motor would be doing.
It is possible to make a hearse faster, and can be done without spending a huge fortune. Put a 250 HP Nitrous kit on the motor. Caddy cranks will take a 250 HP nitrous hit time after time after time, with little of the problems that smaller motors have. One reason is bearing size, you simply cannot easily hurt a 2.5" rod or a 3" main bearing, unless they run dry...
i dont really have alot of cash , so pretty much it wont be fast?
It's not gonna be a racecar...
but the more weight you can get out of it, the better off you will be. A set of racing bucket seats would look cool and you lose the stock, heavy bench seat, plus gain a little more interior room. Plastic bathroom shower paneling sheets would be a natural to replace the heavy stock interior panels, and can be painted easily to match the rest of the interior. Pull out the stock carpet and padding, and paint or spray-bedliner the floorpans. The service doors in these cars are extremely heavy, you can cut away some of the inner bracing to lighten them up some, every little bit helps. Lexan windows would lighten the doors further, but are prone to scratching unless you are careful with them.
These cars also had a very tall roof. Think how much weight you could remove by doing a radical top chop. I'd bet you could easily get a couple hundred pounds of metal and glass out of the remnants... and it'd have a much better profile...
Forged aluminum wheels are your best bet to lose some rotating weight, and are at least as strong as the stock steelies. A lower-profile, wider tire weighs about the same as stock but gets a better stance. You could easily lose the weight of a couple coils off the stock springs with a cutoff wheel tool, get a more sporty feel to the suspension, and a lower look. These cars had pretty soft springs to begin with.
The main thing is to get a set plan in your head, and only deviate from that plan if it will further improve the car. You are young and it would'nt hurt a thing if it took you a few years worth of saving and getting parts to get it the way you want. I have had the '54 for about 6 years now, and it was only last winter that I did all the serious bodywork to it. I had it for a year before I yanked the stock 223 inline 6 and the OD trans and did the Caddy 500/TH-400 swap. That swap took another 8 months, spare-time/money wise. It looks pretty wild now, but for a long time it was just another old Fifties car.
Really radical for you would be to gut it, strip the shell and have it and the service doors acid-dipped to thin the metal out some, then Swiss-cheese all the inner structure with a holesaw. Gut the heater/climate controls, remove the entire floor/firewall for some new aluminum panels, and set it down on a new tube frame or better yet, a complete tube chassis with a built-in 12-point cage... and a built 540 cube Caddy mill under the 'glass hood/fenders/bumpers...
Aw, now I want another hearse... the thought of it is making me wanna hit the classifieds...
Last edited by DrChop; 10-10-2003 at 07:01 PM.
lol thanks , bucket seats and aluminum wheels sound good, im not smart a nuff 2 chop it and i dotn wanna strip it cuz if i get it im gonna put a casket with 2 18" subs in it, but theres a few things in there you said would be good to lighten it , also the plasic looking thing with the rollers on it in the back , does that come out by bolts or is it welded in there? thanks
have you seen the monster garage hurse?? it shows pretty good about the amount of weight added to the floor to make it a hurse... id at least pull upthe back carpet and see if theres any extra metal that you can get rid of.. chances are theresa good bit of weight supports and maybe tracks for the coffins... and as far as putting one back in you dont need all that support for a coffin and a few subs....... i do like that thought opf the chop top though.... mmm

In a move that had been widely speculated for weeks, Kentucky announced Thursday that Barry "Slice" Rohrssen has joined the men's basketball coaching staff.
The 53-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y., native comes to Lexington after serving as an assistant at Pittsburgh during the 2013-14 season. He coached under Ben Howland and Jamie Dixon with the Panthers and was also the head coach at Manhattan from 2006-11 before working with the Portland Trail Blazers organization in 2012.
"It's an honor to be part of a program that has the greatest tradition in the history of college basketball," Rohrssen said in a statement released by UK. "I was humbled when John Calipari asked me to become a member of his outstanding staff. Coach Cal embodies the meaning of the word 'success.' The way he prepares young men for their future, in both basketball and life, is remarkable. Additionally, I'm grateful to represent the most passionate fan base in sports, the Big Blue Nation."
"Barry has been part of my coaching family for the past 30-some years," Calipari said. "We roomed together at Five Star as counselors, still in college, and have followed each other's careers on the court closely. I'm thrilled with what he brings to our staff, both on court and off, in terms of coaching, recruiting and mentoring these young men."
Rohrssen is widely recognized as one of the top recruiting assistants in the northeast with numerous ties in New York City. It's a role that needed to be filled at UK after the departure of Orlando Antigua for the head coaching job at South Florida.

iPhone 5 Supremacy Quashed by Cydia Apps Android 40
The much hyped iPhone 5 release is expected to happen sometime later this year or by 2012. However, the picture looks gloomy this time round for Apple. The unlocking service major, cydia is all set to release custom solution for tormenting the security of iPhone 5. Cydia's new Jailbreak apps will leverage supremely from native apps of iPhone 5. As a result, end users will be able to leverage from the hidden possibilities post Jailbreak such as International roaming and PC tethering on the fly without any hassles or constraints. Cydia is ready with its custom solution much ahead of iPhone 5's release.
Android's new platform 4.0 is all glazed up with rich feature set and will offer better multitasking than iOS platform. The customs security solution developers such as Norton and McAfee are all set to develop formidable services for Android platform. As a result of which it will be impossible for third party apps to access the native code on the devices. iOS 4.3 has been Jailbreaked at ease with custom third party solutions but Android's newest proposition is all set to be one of its kinds. In an attempt to challenge the supremacy of Apple in the segment, Google will set the resolution limit to at least 1024 X 768 pixels which is much higher than that of an iPhone.
Google is taking on the battle with iOS products on an all new level. They are all set to launch Google Nexus 4g phone to be powered on 1.2 Ghz Snapdragon processor and enabled on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The phone is slated to have dual 5 MP camera along with 1024 X 768 pixels to power up the supreme display. The phone is yet to be announced officially and Google is considering to ramp up camera features to 8 MP to beat iOS 5.
iOS 5 is already facing heat for its iCloud measure which might expose the sensitive user information in public domain. The end users are however, becoming demanding and still consider local storage far more reliable and faster than cloud based storage. In fact it will be soon a trend amongst customer communities for asking more disk storage space.

TNA has officially announced that they will be shifting their focus from monthly live pay-per-views to four live shows on PPV per year. The promotion has announced that their live pay-per-view events will be Genesis on January 13th, Lockdown on March 10th, Slammiversary on June 9th and Bound for Glory on October 13th.
To fill the monthly spots, the promotion will hold seven pay-per-view specials dubbed "TNA Wrestling: One Night Only." The three-hour taped specials will kick off in April and run throughout the year on the first Friday of each month. This is where the tapings this weekend will come into play; as previously reported, they are a "Joker's Wild Tag Team Tournament and X-Division show.
Dixie Carter commented, saying, "The Pay-Per-View industry has changed so much in the last decade. The traditional pay-per-view wrestling model needed to evolve and we believe this strategy will positively impact not only the Pay-Per-View events but the weekly television programming as well."
UPDATE: The following pricing structure is in place for TNA's new PPV model:
TNA Wrestling: One Night Only: $14.95
TNA Genesis 2013 & TNA Lockdown 2013: $34.95
All live PPVs from Slammiversary and all live PPVs after except BFG: $39.95
TNA Bound for Glory: $44.95
More as we get it.
thats kinda stupid for the one night only ones at least. they would be best served as free monday night live specials. they are taping 2 this month and ones gonna air on ppv in march or april and the tag one will air in may. not many gonna buy the ppv if they already know the out come and it happned months ago. granted tna only does 11k buys on average for live ppvs. the 4 ppv model is fine though. others need to be specials. the only taped ppv that will draw is hardcore justice 2 since its an ecw reunion ppv this year.
i like this too many boring pointless ppvs that wwe marks and tna fans bitch about so now they havre plenty of time to build angles, fueds in every division not just the main event
By Mike Johnson on 2013-01-10 21:13:52 As noted earlier on PW***********, TNA will be doing a series of taped "One ***ht Only" PPV events airing the first Friday ***ht of months they are not broadcasting live PPV events.

There are no confirmed taping dates yet for the PPV specials beyond January. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBGTbiokSJA extreme rising id rather watch than tna doing an ecw reunion since this is the continuation of ecw
Easily the best news ive heard in months
I kinda like this idea, it gives tna a chance to do something new each month and it's good to get new consumers because $15 isn't that bad for a ppv. So if tna does a good ppv for those it will be good for them as people will probably pay more for the bigger ppv.
Every actual TNA ppv should be a flat rate of $35. Why is BFG $10 more?
supposed to be tnas mania/starcade yet lockdown is tnas biggest draw that and hardcore justice when it was an ecw reunion. but lockdown on average is the big draw for the year. these specials should be live spike tv ones instead that way they can focus on making money on just 4 ppvs but im sure they had to modify their current ppv contract to be able to just do 4 live events. may be some legal issues before they can do such. who knows.
same as why do wwe charge more for wrestlemania?
its what they would consider their main show, their best show of the year.
Here we go again typical TNA Bull one night only sounds alot like WWE'S One Night Stand talk about ripping other companies off. I would pay 2¢ for any of TNA'S pay per views. Screw TNA you bunch of degenerates.
So your telling me that WWE hasn't copied TNA. Anyways where did you get the "Bull" from?
have u not seen wwe recently? if anything wwe is taking ideas like from tna whats that say abot the wwe? uncreative much? the aj/dixie angle, ref wanting to be a wrestler, a group of guys beating random ppl, a voice over in the intro, different camera styles used backstage, championship thursday cause wwe aint using any of those right? shut up and go watch rybotch and yawn cena muppet tv-G muppet fan
then why are u on here? i guess you got tna confused with wwe muppets
Well we all suggested four ppvs. So they sort of listened to what everyone has been saying but obviously they still need to make money.
if the show is better and it builds fueds better great!! you dont work for tna so stop worrying about money or whatever wwe has money and u see how crappy they are they have to rely on past stars cause nobody cares about there current guys.
someone earlier said it best…once people know the results they are not going buy these friday PPvs…It doesnt make sense financially..i thought they scrapped all but 4 and were gonna concentrate the budget on a second tv show or better overall production and salary…I dont agree with this move. twitter – @sportsfannyLA_V
Their are still contracts with ppv so they HAVE to do this with there current obligations! Im sure itll change once the contracts are renewed.
well i assume tna would like to make them live. but first they are getting the shows in place. seeing if the structure they've set out for this year works. in 2014 they may think "well we could improve this bit".
you build the walls of a house first then the roof. and thats what tna are doing. i think the majority of the shows will do well but 1-2 may need to be tweaked. the hardcore ecw reunion 1 is one that they could just have it as a hardcore justice for tna talents only i think.
ya true but using ecw talents will help tna draw a bigger buyrate than using tna talent. look at the last exreme hardcore justice it was the highest buyrate in over a year at that point for tna and highest buyrate for ppv since then. yet they killed off the tv storyline with them that was picking steam when hogan and bishoff came along.
ECW talents helped TNA last year, 2012? I don't remember that; don't you mean in 2010.
if they have only 4 ppvs a year u dont think fans will want to watch a x division guys like with petey willams, amazing red and other past stars in a ultimate x match or xscape match? dude fans want to see that you should really get out more. ppl bitched about tna filler ppvs saying they dont want to waste time on them that they needed to limit them then they do and ppl like u whine about? do u want good shit on the ppvs, good matches good fued build or a zillion ppvs with no build, bad matches with guys like garett, robbie, rob terry? i guess we know what you prefer
I dont mind that idea at all. Lockdown is the cage, Genesis will kick the year off, Slammy is there anniversary style show and BFG is there mania
People who are complaining about the amount of ppv's:
1/ it's going to bring TNA a lot more money as they'll get more fans in due to the 'rarity' of the ppv's and storylines can be built better.
2/ Although it's a shame for them to suddenly ditch 8 of them; the good ones like destination x have been replaced by the 3hr impact focusing on the x-division.
I think it's a great idea, make us want the ppv's more and have better matches due to developed storylines.
i think in time we could see certain ppv concepts so x division, hardcore justice, maybe others can be created as well return/be on a sunday.
TNA are just trying to see what works. and defo thats what they should be doing.
They are contractually obligated to do PPVs and will likely switch to live, free specials on Spike when the contract runs out. Just my $.02 anyway.

In the absence of P0, thus, PLP (show C3 Antibodies) also contributes to myelination by Schwann cells and to the preservation of peripheral axons
while PLP (show C3 Antibodies) can co-exist with P0 in peripheral nervous system(PNS) myelin, PLP (show C3 Antibodies) cannot replace P0 as the major structural protein of PNS myelin.
Both extracellular and intracellular epitopes of PLP (show C3 Antibodies) contribute to the pathogenesis of MP4-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis already in the setting of intact myelin.
The insertion of native PLP (show C3 Antibodies) into Olg mitochondria of animals with PLP1/Plp1 regulates extracellular pH and adenosine triphosphate.
This study shows for the first time that Plp (show C3 Antibodies)-null mice exhibit severe early-onset thermal hyperalgesia that is not associated with changes in thermal allodynic behavior.
A novel mechanism sheds light on the immune regulation by which sulfatide-reactive type II natural killer (NK)T cells suppress inflammatory class II histocompatibility-restricted pathogenic CD4 (show CD4 Antibodies)+ T cell responses in a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease.
that an early reactive glia response occurs following mutations in the PLP (show C3 Antibodies) gene
Result suggest that plp1 plays a role either in the structural integrity of oligodendrocyte progenitor cell processes or in their response to extracellular cues that orient process outgrowth.
PLP (show C3 Antibodies) significantly suppresses both models of experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE)even when there is some evidence of epitope spreading in the myelin oligodendrocyte (MOG (show MOG Antibodies))38-50-induced EAE model.
PLP (show C3 Antibodies) contributes to the high cholesterol content of myelin by association and co-transport in the central nervous system.
Human induced pluripotent stem cells-derived oligodendrocytes from 12 individuals with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher and identified individual and shared defects in PLP1 mRNA expression and splicing, oligodendrocyte progenitor development, and oligodendrocyte morphology and capacity for myelination.
report a novel mutation of the PLP1 gene in two siblings with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease associated with a rare and protean neuroimaging finding of optic nerve enlargement
Identification and functional study of novel PLP1 mutations in Chinese patients with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease. We identified PLP1 mutations in seven male patients with PMD.
In major depressive disorder there was a significantly reduced expression of PLP1 mRNA.
Study investigated 17 unrelated Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease subjects with copy number gains at the PLP1 locus including triplication and quadruplication of specific genomic intervals-16/17 were found to have a duplication-inverted triplication-duplication rearrangement product.
Myelin proteolipid protein is critical to regulating oligodendrocyte progenitor cell migration.
PLP1 splicing mutations may result in a wide variety of disease phenotypes through a combination of multiple molecular pathogenic mechanisms.
this study provides new insight into the genotype-phenotype correlations of patients with PLP1 splice-site mutations.
Insertion of an extra copy of Xq22.2 into 1p36 results in functional duplication of the PLP1 gene in a girl with classical Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease.
Data strongly suggest that a secondary structure within intron 3 is important for controlling regulation of the PLP1 alternative splice and that patient mutations can cause Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease by disrupting this structure.
This gene encodes a transmembrane proteolipid protein that is the predominant myelin protein present in the central nervous system. It may play a role in the compaction, stabilization, and maintenance of myelin sheaths, as well as in oligodendrocyte development and axonal survival. Mutations in this gene cause X-linked Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease and spastic paraplegia type 2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms or having different 5' UTRs, have been identified for this gene.

Appearing as a guest on Tuesday's New Day, liberal CNN commentator Paul Begala attacked Rick Perry as a "dope" and a "demagogue" during a discussion of the Texas Republican criticizing President Barack Obama for not visiting the border to see the illegal immigration crisis in person.
Begala went on to insult Perry's intelligence: "I mean, if he's going to pick Rick Perry's brain, that is the very definition of slim pickings."
CNN co-anchor Kate Bolduan reacted by exclaiming, "Ohhh, Paul!" and a bit later admonished him for going over the top as she brought in fellow guest and Republican strategist Kevin Madden. Bolduan:
Kevin, you can jump in on this. I mean, Paul. that was pretty brutal. Rick Perry is a dope on this issue? Rick Perry says he's just trying to defend the border that is his state. Kevin?
Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the Tuesday, July 8, New Day on CNN, which ran at about 6:45 a.m.:
KATE BOLDUAN, AFTER RECOUNTING THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS OFFERED TO HAVE A MEETING WITH RICK PERRY: Paul, did Rick Perry just hand the President a big out politically on this?
PAUL BEGALA: Well, what I suspect you're going to see is Rick Perry bounce right back and say, "Good, we'll meet, but let's meet on the border, sir."
I think it's, you know, Rick Perry is the governor. He's been a demagogue and, frankly, a dope about this issue. He's been totally unhelpful, suggesting darkly that there's somehow a conspiracy that Barack Obama is behind.
Look, children are fleeing violence in Central America. It is taking a very long time to deport them because of a law President Bush signed back when he was President. That law was designed to try to protect people who are fleeing violence and to protect their rights. So President Obama here is simply caught trying to obey a law that was passed before he became President.
That line about faith leaders, I think, is the most important. I mean, if he's going to pick Rick Perry's brain, that is the very definition of slim pickings.
BOLDUAN: Ohhh, Paul!
BEGALA: There's a faith leader we ought to be listening to. Mark Sites is the Bishop of El Paso. He's actually been to the region. He's been to Honduras and Guatemala. He testified last week before the Congress. I read his testimony. I recommend it to our viewers. He actually knows what is going on. And he explains that it's like these children are trapped in a burning building, and, of course, they're going to leap and come to anything that looks comparatively safer, even if it risks their life to do so, I think Bishop Sites is who he ought to meet with.
BOLDUAN: Kevin, you can jump in on this. I mean, Paul. that was pretty brutal. Rick Perry is a dope on this issue? Rick Perry says he's just trying to defend the border that is his state. Kevin?

It's spring and we all know what that means: it's bride season. I am always amazed at the amount of television shows that revolve around brides: Say Yes to the Dress, Bridezillas Wedding Challenge, Wedding Planners and even The Bachelor.
What interests me the most is the overstated emphasis on the surface features of a wedding: the venue, gown, food, flowers and party favors. The last thing on anyone's mind is the actual wedding, much less the marriage that follows.
There's a popular phrase that all women want weddings, but none want husbands. Of course this isn't true, and it's offensive to say the least. But when little girls are reading fairy tales that end with a wedding and a "Happily Ever Ever," what message are they getting?
When young girls dream of their gowns and their bouquets, the stage is already set. When the wedding scene in a movie is the high point, we are still getting the same message, even as adults. This "Happily Ever After" idea says that a wedding is the most important milestone in a woman's life; sustaining a healthy marriage is not.
All the programs I mentioned highlight the bride in the most negative light: a selfish, ruthless drama queen with the singular ambition of inconveniencing everyone around her.
She spends too much money, makes too many demands, spends too much time arguing and seems to hate the people who disagree with her.
I've never seen any follow up programs that follow the couple through their married life. My guess is that it would present the same negative image.
What we have here is a double edged sword: a woman is supposed to revere and honor her wedding as the pivotal moment in her adulthood. Yet she approaches the most important event in her life as that same six-year-old girl reading fairy tales. She forgets that maintaining a happy marriage is a daily commitment.
She still believes that the "Happily Ever After" will happen all by itself, while the wedding is what takes all the work. Not only that, it reinforces the joke about wanting the wedding and not the husband. This is not a kind or charitable view of the woman as the bride. But many woman fall into this way of thinking. Why is this?
While I can't answer why, I can suggest what to do about it. Turn off the TV and ignore the fairytale view of marriage.
Instead look at marriage with the understanding that the relationship will take work, commitment, sacrifice and love. Remember that this is an adult venture, and a decision that an adult should make with full awareness of what happens after the "Happily Ever After."

text: Viral videos of the week: Billy Joel, Game of Thrones, a pine marten and the Pope The five finest clips from the past seven days, voted for by cardinals and released via the chimney of this page Comments Written By Jack Seale 2:40 PM, 15 March 2013 1. Mike! You've lost the Pope!Ah, live news radio that's also on the TV for some reason. Preparation is key, but sometimes events overtake you. For Mike Francesca of New York's WFAN Sports Radio, the sudden announcement this week, with absolutely no build-up at all, of some kinda new Pope or sumthin' necessitated some super-smooth broadcasting on the hoof. Who is this guy? What sorta Pope we got? How do you say "Bergoglio"? Let's find out together. 2. Billy's new mateThis actually happened in January but the YouTube clip went round the world this week. Billy Joel was conducting a Q+A at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee when one of the students, Michael Pollack, chose not to ask a question and instead asked to accompany Joel on piano. Joel said, "OK." So up goes Michael to play New York State of Mind and, in a clip that's cheesy but effective like Billy Joel himself, the kid nails it. 3. A menace on the wingFC Thun v Zurich, a fixture this week in the Swiss football league, featured an extra test of speed and skill for the players: catching the wild pine marten that had invaded the pitch. The winner of this task was Loris Benito, the Zurich defender, who confidently shows the rodent inside before outpacing him and winning possession. Textbook stuff. His reward: half his finger off. 4. Lame of ThronesMeme of the week was 1995 Style, a series of videos reimagining fancy modern TV shows as crappy, two-decades-old series viewed on disintegrating VHS tape. The best one: Game of Thrones. Weirdly, Sean Bean seems to fit right in. 5. Stanley Kubrick: a viral odysseyA bit of class to finish with: a lovely animation representing every Stanley Kubrick movie, in chronological order. Pointless, but very cool. Like this? Share it.

text: Hi all, Maybe you can help me with following problem: I have retrofitted DVD navigation unit. After that (after reclosure of battery connection) the system seemed to work properly. At least DVD disk accepted and I saw map on the display. There was not correct position of the map concerning my place so I drove the car to catch some sattelites. It was not very good (only 2 recieved) so I decided to change GPS antenna position. During that I disconnected MOST cable by mistake. Of course I repaired it but from this moment I cannot load DVD. The unit has light on and is waiting for DVD. If I try to load it unit take it but after a few seconds push out it and the message "please insert navigation disk" remains on the display. Thanks for any hlep or comment

Very proud of myself. I got a friction fit after removing the cast in Borden connector. A near perfect circle and no slip ups or anything. Just some putty on the outside to even things out. I was so afraid I would make the hole too large or oblong, but man. I just have to softly hammer the brass connector in with the end of a screw driver! After the putty dries, it's a quick wet sand and the painting begins!

Nice! Glad it worked for you.
Thanks again for all your advice on the prep work for my helmet superjedi, I would not have had the insight or guts to do any cutting into the helmet on my own, as silly as it sounds.
Here is the added ESB hero damage. I'll be laying on the silver base coat on the rear panels shortly.
The black jaggedness you see on the top underside of the visor is just an optical illusion of the black marker I used to outline a trimming area

A test coat of the silver 11. Looking okay? Just a single coat, trying to get the hang of enamels. Acrylics feel so much easier... Not to mention this is a pretty ****** pic.

Bam! Got the paint ratio down. Here is the base layer of silver 11
Not sure what's going on behind the dent on the top of the dome, something with the putty. May have to sand it out. :c

So far, so good.
Don't pull the mask in between coats of paint; you'll regret it later lol!
So I figured out today that the little darker spots of paint are finger/hand prints from my son... will they show through every layer of paint? If so, how do I remove them without harming the paint job?
He wasn't present when the helmet was being painted, they were from before.
Forgot the base 147 gray layer, so I sanded it all down and am giving it a repaint. At least I got rid of the finger prints! lol
Okay starting over. Feeling a little better now. But a little disheartened at the same time because I feel like I messed up big time

Looking really nice!
I'm right now researching wich bucket to go for (first one!), and how to finish it when I finally get my hands on one. This kind of thread is really inspiring!
Thanks very much Cid and TF! I did the grey and beige yesterday and allowed it to cure overnight and will be applying the blue green mix shortly

Alright! Now we're getting somewhere! Nice job.
Thank you superjedi!
Now I'm moving onto the dome and lower cheeks, although I am having trouble with the stencils and masking of damage on the dome. With it being a rounded surface I'm having trouble finding a reference point, mainly for the damage above the key slots. Also, in the PDF stencil file the damage above the keyslots is missing, I believe.
Regarding the missing scratch: use the guidance for the stencils, usually called Helmet Perspective View (the last file in the first post of each of my stencil threads) to see where to draw each scratch, but also don't forget to double check these with images from the TDH Gallery. The scratch above the key slot IS there in the PDF file, so you should use that guidance file to locate a specific scratch and its placement.
Are the stencils fit well the GMH? Or you need to re-size/alter the stencils?
Thank you very much Raf, I'm very proud of how it has turned out so far.
I resized the stencils to about 95%, but then there is still just a little bit of moving around the helmet to get the placement correct. I played around with different scaling, 94, 95, 96 and 97. 95 fits the best. EDIT: The fit to page option sets it to 97%, which is a little oversized. Also using the back panels as an example, if you place the stencil in the top corner so it fits along the outer edge, the bottom curve around the neck of the helmet is not on the same... plane, for lack of a better word. Nothing you can't work around though.

As far as the stencils go, as you mentioned there's going to be some small amount
of shifting necessary to get everything to line up correctly.
Just think about how the shapes of the continents look on a flat Mercator-type map
of the world compared to their shapes on a globe.
Rafal has done an incredible job with his templates, but when you place them onto the
curved surface of the helmet, it's important to check against reference pics to get the
placement and proportions correct.
One thing I've done in the past is to actually measure a certain part of the helmet, say
one of the back panels, and make a plain paper template. I'll hold that piece of paper
up against my computer screen and compare it to Rafal's template. I'll use my graphics
program (I use PaintShop Pro) to resize Rafal's template until it matches. I have found that
it may be necessary to scale the vertical size and the horizontal size slightly differently to
make things fit. Like maybe scaling the horizontal to 97% versus scaling the vertical to 94%.
Something like that.
Granted, it's trickier to do this with the dome, but careful checking against the reference
pics will help with getting everything into the right position.

Incentives may work where a carbon tax fails
Dennis Posadas suggests an alternative to the politically challenging cap-and-trade laws
Related topics
As Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard's experience with a carbon tax shows, often it is never easy to impose a tax on the vast majority of people to solve a common problem. Because of the widespread opposition to the carbon tax designed to help Australia meet its carbon emission targets, the Gillard administration has resorted to giving cash bonuses to families hard hit by the tax, up to A$100 (HK$800) per child and A$250 per pensioner.
But in a dire scenario where many countries decide to say no to a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade system to help reduce emissions, and if there is deadlock on a future treaty agreement to replace the Kyoto Protocol, what is the way forward? China has decided to pass its own cap-and-trade programme, but will others?
One way is to strengthen the nascent voluntary carbon emission markets, where companies and individuals who feel it is their duty to save the environment buy emission credits to offset their own emissions, without regard for whether there is any requirement for them to do so. For example, large companies like Google and GM purchase emissions credits from the carbon markets to offset their emissions to zero. These credits help fund other renewable energy and energy-efficiency projects to displace or lessen the need for fossil fuel.
But if there is no carbon cap in place, any voluntary trading that happens becomes weak. If a recession happens in the future, and profits drop, the first thing to be cut from budgets are non-core expenses, like these purchases of emission credits. These emission credits must make business sense, else even the most environment-friendly chief executive will find it hard to justify these expenses to the board.
One way is to grant tax credits for companies and individuals who voluntarily buy these credits. Any revenue shortfall from these tax credits will be made up by a decreased need for governments to spend on mitigation and adaptation, as the success of a voluntary carbon market ensures funding for renewable energy and energy-efficiency projects. This in turn drives an increase in green employment, with demand for more rooftop solar panel installers, energy auditors or wind turbine technicians, for example.
If governments around the world do not muster enough support for a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade system, they can still promote mitigation and adaptation in their own countries by supporting tax credits for voluntary efforts to offset carbon emissions. This is the least they can do to support the lip service they offer for climate change avoidance.

slight misfire
My 2003 Mustang GT has a slight misfire. When I'm driving along at about any speed, the engine will occasionally stumble. I had the plugs replaced, as well as one ignition coil. I suspect the other coils may be weak and need to be replaced. Any recommendations as to what brand of coils to use?
I have used brands from advanced and it has been OK. Some of the chrysler ones seem to be problematic.Other than that (I think it is BWD) they seem OK.
I am anal about quality for my own and would get NAPA or Ford(OEM) for my own.The customers seem to want to get out cheaply, so advanced it is for them.Most of the time ,like I said, it works out.
If you have a decent scanner, you can look at the misfire monitors for all 8 cylinders and it should give a clear indication of which one is acting up.
Also it may set a pending code(1 trip code) for the offending cylinder, which may help ID the culprit
On a Ford, OEM all the way. I have ran into problems with the quality consistency of aftermarket coils, especially where Ford is concerned for some reason.

Favorable Outcome Flies Home in Swale
Klaravich Stables and William Lawrence's Favorable Outcome rallied from last to run down favorite Three Rules in the stretch to win the $200,000 Swale Stakes (G2) at Gulfstream Park Feb. 4.
Klaravich Stables and William Lawrence's Favorable Outcome rallied from last to run down favorite Three Rules in the stretch to win the $200,000 Swale Stakes (G2) at Gulfstream Park Feb. 4.
Each week BloodHorse.com looks forward to the weekend's biggest races. This week we have full slates of stakes at Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita Park, and a Triple Crown prep in New York.
A Florida-bred bay colt bred by Digole "Dee" Williams is the first reported foal born by Don Dizney's homebred graded stakes sprinter Bahamian Squall.
Multiple stakes winner Three Rules, who suffered his first loss in six starts in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) Nov. 5, may kick off his 3-year-old season in the $200,000 Swale (gr. II) Feb. 4 at Gulfstream Park.
Three stallions from Rockridge Stud near Hudson, NY., will ship to Uruguay for Southern Hemisphere breeding in 2016.
Jacks or Better Farm's homebred 3-year-old colt Awesome Banner is three-for-three, but trainer Stanley Gold indicated he's taking it one race at a time.
Jacks or Better Farm's homebred Awesome Banner led from the start in the $150,000 Swale Stakes (gr. II) and opened up in the stretch to win by five lengths Jan. 30 at Gulfstream Park and remain unbeaten.
Hutcheson Stakes (gr. III) winner Awesome Banner will try for a third win in as many starts when he faces other 3-year-olds sprinting in the $150,000 Swale Stakes (gr. II) Jan. 30 at Gulfstream Park.
Trainer Stanley Gold will resist the temptation to run undefeated 3-year-old Awesome Banner in the $350,000 Holy Bull Stakes (gr. II) Jan. 30 at Gulfstream Park, opting to send the colt in the Swale Stakes (gr. III).
New York farm stands state's leading 2-year-old sire Giant Surprise and adds new stallions Micromanage and Midas Touch for 2016.
Donald R. Dizney's grade II-winning homebred Bahamian Squall will retire to Dizney's Double Diamond Farm near Ocala, Fla., to stand for the 2016 breeding season.
Ready for Rye became Tom Albertrani's third winner on the day when he upset favored Daredevil by 2 3/4 lengths in the seven-furlong Swale Stakes (gr. II) March 7 at Gulfstream. The trainer entered the card 0-for-60.
Daredevil will make his much-anticipated sophomore debut in $200,000 Fasig-Tipton Swale Stakes (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park one week after the seven-furlong race for 3-year-olds was postponed due to torrential rainstorms.
Lets Go Stable and WinStar Farm's Daredevil, whose 3-year-old debut in the Feb. 28 Fasig-Tipton Swale Stakes (gr. II) was postponed until March 7 due to heavy rains, returned to the work tab March 2.
After torrential rain washed away the $200,000 Fasig-Tipton Swale Stakes (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park Feb. 28, grade I winner Daredevil looks set to remain in the field when the rescheduled race runs March 7.
Gulfstream Park canceled the remainder of its Feb. 28 card as a deluge pelted the South Florida area. The $200,000 Swale Stakes (gr. II) and the $150,000 Palm Beach Stakes (gr. IIIT) were among the events lost.
J. Keeler Johnson handicaps the Swale Stakes (gr. II). read blog
Sifting through options for his many Triple Crown prospects can be challenging, but trainer Todd Pletcher didn't overthink the process when it came to finding a starting spot for grade I winner Daredevil.
China Horse Club has acquired a minority interest in grade I winner Daredevil, who is set to make his 3-year-old debut Feb. 28 in the $200,000 Swale Stakes (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park.
Gulfstream Park has entered a partnership establishing sales company Fasig-Tipton as title sponsor of the $200,000 Swale Stakes (gr. II), to be run Feb. 28.
Trinniberg, the 2012 champion sprinter, was represented by his first reported foal when a filly produced from Princesspatseattle was foaled Jan. 11 at Rockridge Stud near Hudson, N.Y.
Rockridge Stud in Hudson, N.Y. has announced the stud fees for its 2015 roster of six stallions. Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I) winner Trinniberg carries the highest fee at $7,500.
Tanma Corp.'s speedy Chitu won nearly gate to wire in a $100,000 Damascus Stakes that came up deep in talent Oct. 31 at Santa Anita Park. The field included six graded stakes winners.
Bob Baffert stablemates Midnight Hawk and Chitu figure prominently in the $100,000 Damascus Stakes Oct. 31, at Santa Anita Park, the final race before four Breeders' Cup World Championships races on Friday's card.
Bahamian Squall captured his first race in more than a year in impressive fashion Oct. 2, taking over on the turn into the homestretch and continuing on to a 1 1/4-length victory at rainy Gulfstream Park.

I never quite managed to work out why some files sell and some don't. I guess your file just didn't grab the imagination of the buyer. Maybe they thought that it would fit properly to their logo. Many logos are overcomplicated and bitty, unlike than Envato's big bold leaf. Many logos also contain text – or indeed are logotypes. Your idea wouldn't work well visually in that instance.
The long intro at the start probably isn't helping either. I'd attempt to be into the actual preview inside of 3 seconds max. Imagine that you're a buyer and yours is the 100th logo they've looked at. They might turn it off before they even get to the preview.
never put those "me present this awesome template" at the beginning
just start with the project preview, then add other info at the end of the video
there was a buyer who took the time and write about this on the forum. he said is annoying, if one needs to check many projects in a limited time. I'm 100% with him about this
Just don't do it, people will close the video preview and move on and you lose potential sales
thanks doru for your reply
I agree doru.
Do't add too many info in starting.
My personal suggestion – change the thumbnail picture.
