Never have so many gleeful exclamation points greeted an ad campaign but all hail the return of our aromatic hero: Old Spice Guy. Yes, OSG is back with a contest and hilarious new custom videos responding to his many adoring fans. Members of both sexes simply can't get enough of the self-described, "ridiculously handsome man" who is so rugged, even his throat clearing is the buzz of a chainsaw. Let the swooning begin anew.
OSG's newest stunt will join forces with "one super Old Spice fan" that involves dancing and a mutual understanding of supreme smells that only they can understand. The fan (curious if it will be a man or a woman) will be given exclusive access to OSG's "newest, top-secret, life-altering, society-changing TV commercial days before it's released to the rest of the world." More importantly, access to OSG himself -- which is the real prize. Slated for release on February 7, the new commercial will be controlled by Super Fan, who will decide how and when the public sees the new ad for the Old Spice Fresh Collection.
Like the birth of a million magical unicorns (all stallions, of course), OSG magically appeared before me as I sat in a dark movie theater, groaning through one predictable pre-feature commercial after another. And like a shining light from Heaven itself, OSG captured our collective attention like a bouquet of roses made of self-mined rubies in one big meaty grab. The audience was defenseless against OSG in all his shiny bo-hunk glory -- awakening our loins, alerting our nostrils and shaking the room with unexpected laughter. We simply didn't have a chance. The second OSG disappeared from view, we wanted him back. And so it is.
"Hel-LO, ladies. Look at your man. Now back to me. Now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me."
--Old Spice Guy's debut, in a commercial which took four days and 83 takes to complete
OSG's commercials go to ridiculous lengths, illustrating what every woman thinks she wants in a man, a mate who can do it all -- welcome adventure, build amazing stuff and set her passion aflame all the while remembering to get "two tickets to that thing you love."
The extreme examples of what it takes to satisfy a woman are so painfully accurate, it hurts. Of course, each commercial could be tailored (mine would include an electric guitar, for example) but the overall gist is dead on. The comedy lies in the very real fantasy brought into playful, satirical light. I'm guessing that George Clooney and Brad Pitt might be laughing the hardest.
"Smell more courageous than an astronaut looking for his wedding ring in a black hole."
--@OldSpice tweet (with 120,000+ followers)
The genius behind this wildly successful campaign is the Portland-based ad agency, Wieden + Kennedy. Not surprisingly, the idea for the character came from two men, Craig Allen and Eric Kallman. W+K's only struggle with OSG? Topping themselves after the campaign's so-viral-its-a-virus debut -- a "problem" most agencies can only fantasize about.
"Through a traditional casting, supplemented by burnt offerings to the God of pec muscles."
--Widen + Kennedy, when asked how they found Isaiah Mustafa to play Old Spice Guy
But top themselves they have, with OSG's personalized video responses to fans. Generously sharing his well-built self, OSG stands wrapped in that pesky bath towel and responds to each person (including Demi Moore and Justine Bateman) by name. It is beyond brilliant. My personal favorite is when he takes the opportunity to expand the brand's message ("Smell Like A Man, Man") in his response to @wspencer.
"Did you know that when one handsome man compliments another, somewhere in the world a luxury-style hot tub is born? It's true. I did the research."
--OSG video response to fan, @kepereira
Of course, much credit also goes to the actor, Isaiah Mustafa, a name I did not have to look up just now. His swarthy, confident portrayal of The Man Your Man Could Smell Like has bowled us over without warning. With his laser beam stare and shower backdrop, his glistening pecs and manly presence leave us no choice but to faint. OSG is like one long flirty wink, conveying pure masculine sexuality all the while mocking it. And those hilarious inflections … every time he says, "…are now DIAMONDS!" I crack up.
Mustafa is a former NFL player (Oakland Raiders, Cleveland Browns, Seattle Seahawks) who switched to acting and hit the mother lode with the Old Spice gig. His appearance on Ellen shows us a very grateful, happy guy who can't quite believe his great fortune … again.
"There are very few commercials that are that special, that people really pay attention to."
--Ellen Degeneres, re: Old Spice Guy
The OSG response is the kind of insane traction every company dreams about. In addition to Ellen, Isaiah and the OSG campaign has been featured on Oprah, among others. And through the social media response videos, some dude asked OSG to propose to his girlfriend for him. OSG granted the request and she said, "Yes!" (Could you say no to OSG? I could not.)
I mean, that VOICE. Mustafa told Oprah that he'd created it in an answering machine call to his pal, former Denver Broncos player, Jake Plummer. The actor describes the character voice as a "little bit of James Brolin and a little bit of Adam West." A heady mix, indeed.
"Panty-melting one-liners from Isaiah Mustafa have become ubiquitous in everyday conversation....Men yearn to have his abs and for oysters to turn into diamonds."
Here's a telling fact: The Old Spice Channel is now the number one most popular sponsored YouTube channel in history -- even more popular than Twilight. Put "Old Spice Guy" into Google and you get 712,000 listings. CRAZY.
--sonikku956, commenting on YouTube's Old Spice Channel
OSG at his best? In the commercial, "Questions", OSG carries a self-made gourmet cake ("You're Beautiful" in red icing) through a "dream kitchen" that his other muscled arm is building with a power saw. He then ditches both to dive over a waterfall into a hot tub "for the best night of your life." The hot tub then collapses to reveal OSG in bum-hugging jeans, sitting on a Harley Davidson. And I even skipped the log rolling and walking on water part.
And if you're partial to moustaches, don't miss OSG in a boat. A sucker for backwards horse riding? Go here. And quite naturally, don't skip the spoofs, including my favorite, "Old Christ."
What a fabulous makeover for a fragrance that has, until recently, only invoked nostalgia. (Too bad they changed the packaging -- miss that white bottle.) Ever since they launched OSG, Old Spices sales have jumped 107 percent. As Adweek put it: "This campaign doesn't just smell like a man; it smells like victory."
And speaking as a girl who grew up with a Dad who smelled like sawdust, cigars, motor oil and yes, Old Spice, it could not have happened to a nicer guy.

text: Just wanted to post this in hopes it might help someone else out. I purchased a 97 catera yesterday and it seemed as if it was driving great. Then today, it would not shift gears automatically. It would however shift manually. Earlier I had notice a new light on the dash that looked like an s with a circle around it. Turns out I had accidentally hit the button on the shifter makijg the car go into sport mode. All I had to do was press the button on the top of the shifter again and the light went off along with the car shiftiny automatically again. I thought my transmission was gone but it was just the sport button! Hope this helps somebody!

I'm on my third Co2 Laser resurfacing treatment. I had my first one done back in October/2010-for the price of $1,500- With not much positive results, I decided to go back on Dec/10 for another out of pocket expense of $500. Again, same situation, didn't see much of a difference in my acne scars.
I just had another one done on 3/24/11. I experience the usual painful, ozing,and swelling. 5 days have passed and my face stil red, but it looks great, only because i'm still a bit swollen so my acne scars are barely showing. God, I wish it would stay looking this great, but unfortunately that's not the case.
Everytime I've gone back for another treatment i always get the same excuse from the Dr, oh but you have to wait at least 6 months before you can see any improvement. Honestly, i don't buy it, but other than derma fillers, there really isn't much out there for someone with my condition.
I'm keeping my fingers cross this time and hoping i see some kind of improvement. I will keep you all posted.

A 410 will do the trick just fine, just keep the pattern tight.

A 410 will do the trick just fine, just keep the pattern tight.
Here's my lowly S-12, after Seraph's sparkling version! What kind of side folder is that? Some kind of custom AK to AR? If AR based does the shock tube help a lot with the heavier recoil of an S-12 over a 223/556 round?
A few of reasons...
1) Aiming. It's darn near impossible to aim a shotgun at waist level, and it's not easy to aim a pistol-grip shotgun at eye level (and not recommended at ALL by manufacturers, IIRC--seems it's a good way to get a good smack in the face)...and anyone who says that you don't need to aim a shotgun is...well...grossly misinformed.
2) Recoil control. Much easier to get that barrel down for follow-up shots if necessary.
3) Follow up shots (b). If a pump, it's much faster to cycle the action from the shoulder than it is at the waist. For semi-autos, it's not unusual to get a misfeed since you don't have a stable platform (shoulder) to soak up that recoil (kinda like limp-wristing a pistol).
Personally, short of specialized applications (ie, breaching), I don't see the point of pistol-gripped shotguns. Own one if you like; I won't.
I'm currently perusing the thought of buying A Mossberg 930 semi auto with a 18 1/2 barrel and a 28" barrel package,I think a package can be had for under 600.00 and you can swap from HD to hunting with a barrel change,also safety position makes it great for leftys to access the safety quick
Here's mine. Another Mossberg 590.
I bought it while I was in the US Navy, I think around 1992 or so, because the 590 was what we carried onboard ship when standing roving security patrol.
It has both the regular stock and a pistol grip. I keep the pistol grip on it for easy maneuvering inside the house if the need should arise in the middle of the night.
Heres mine the light beam and laser beam was photoshopped in as neither photographed very well.
Mossberg 590A. 20 inch barrel holds eight rounds. Add ons are a three rail pump with Mako T-Grip holding a NovaTac flashlight. The Mako T-Grip has a trigger switch that allows me to operate the flashlight. The NovaTac has four light settings 10 lumens, 40 lumens and 85 lumens plus a strobe. On the side weaver rail is my laserLyte attached that I can switch on / off with my thumb without releasing the T-Grip. The T-Grip holds extra batteries for the laser, flashlight and Aimpoint. Top sight is an Aimpoint Red Dot sight, because of the way it mounts there is a grove I can sight through to the front bead like a ghost ring sight if the Aimpoint goes out. The stock is an adjustable recoil reducing Knoxx SpecOps stock that lets me stay dead on target or acquire the next one as quickly as I can work the pump. No recoil or muzzle rise to speak off.
To be added is a Advanced Tech heat shield, a fiber optic front sight and a Knoxx pro pack
Here are some 870 clones my buddy is bringing in
I am debating the mag loader.
So my primary Home Defense weapon is finally here and ready for BG punishment... :wave:
Mossberg 500 Persuader 12-gauge (8-shot pistol grip) :yup:
the .40 cal is now back-up :smoke23:
Sweet. Congrats on the new shottie!

Many were unhappy with the violence, and some groups said it encouraged bullying of "ginger" children.
An avid gardener, he resides in the Hough neighborhood of Cleveland with his wife, Brenda, and their two dogs, Gypsy and ginger.
The woman, ginger White, gave an on-camera account to WAGA, the Fox affiliate in Atlanta, where Cain lives.

But this may be Sanskrit folk etymology, and the word may be from an ancient Dravidian name that also produced the Malayalam name for the spice, inchi-ver, from inchi "root." Cf. gin (v.). The word apparently was readopted in Middle English from Old French gingibre (Modern French gingembre). Meaning "spirit, spunk, temper" is from 1843, American English.

" Brand: Start Rite / Type: Boys shoes "
After a bit of a disaster with 2 pairs of Clarks shoes last year (despite a very promising start!), I decided that this year I would try Harry with Start Rite shoes, especially as I have heard really good things about them from some of Harry's friends mums at school who already started their children off with Start Rite. The prices are a little bit more than Clarks shoes, although now Harry has his for over 6 weeks, I can say they are well worth every penny and I would never go back to buying Clarks shoes after the success I have had with his Start Rite Aqua Torrent shoes, and the biggest bonus is that Harry loves wearing them too!
Start Rite Aqua Torrent are a special waterproof brand of shoes exclusively by Start Rite. I actually stumbled across this particular design completely by accident - I went shopping with Harry and my mum in the summer holidays for Start Rite shoes but everywhere was sold out and I had to resort to the Start Rite website (after getting Harry measured properly instore of course). I noticed these, mainly because they were £10 off so were only £37 instead of the currently listed £47, and therefore were a bit more affordable to me. I ordered them at 9pm on a Wednesday evening and they turned up on my mum's doorstep at 9am Friday morning, so I was extremely impressed with the service from the online Start Rite team.
The only negative with Start Right shoes is that they don't have their own shops, like Clarks do, instead you have to find independent stockists who sell the shoes, and you can find these places on their website. However, if you have no local stockists, then I would definitely recommend using their website as the service was second to none. The shoes arrived in a cream coloured box, and were nicely wrapped in tissue paper too. I have to say the shoes looked really nice when they were taken out of the box, and Harry wanted to try them on straight away. Even though they were a size 13(!!), they did look huge and I was worried they would be too big on Harry, but luckily the assistant measured him right and they were a perfect fit.
The shoes are a fantastic quality, and look like a "proper boy's shoe" as my dad called them! They have a really chunky sole which makes them look nice and masculine, and they have a look of real quality about them as well. They have 2 velcro straps across the front of the shoes which allows you to adjust them according to your son's feet. Another great feature of these shoes is the support around the ankles, where it is nice and padded with fabric rather than leather, and it just adds to the nice look of the shoes too. There is also a metal tag on the outer side of each shoe saying "Aqua Torrent", and its a nice touch from Start Rite. The leather is great quality, and overall, they are a fantastic shoe. Oh and I have to share with you Harry's comment that the "carpet" inside the shoes is lovely and soft and that they are comfortable to wear all day, in fact I often have to prise them off him when he gets in after school!
The Aqua Torrent brand features an internal membrane which helps to keep feet dry, whilst letting them breathe, something I thought sounded great. I can't say I have submerged his feet in a bath to test the waterproof factor, but we have had a few days of heavy rain where he hasn't worn his wellies, yet his socks have been dry when we've got to class or got home, something that didn't happen in his Clarks shoes. So these are great for keeping feet dry, especially in the upcoming winter. Something else I liked is that the tongue is attached down one side of the shoe, so it can get folded down when boys in a rush shove their feet in their shoe, and Harry always finds it easy to put these on himself. They're comfortable, they look really fantastic and they are great value for money. I polish them once a week and they still look good as new, I'm so pleased! Definitely recommended by us :)
Sizes: 13-3, width fittings F and G
Available in Start Rite stockists and online at www.startriteshoes.co.uk.
Thank you for reading.

Scat! Conservation Northwest's BlogUp one level
Welcome to Conservation Northwest's blog.
Coast to Cascades, bears to people
If we're not successful and governments fail to take action to help grizzly bears on the west coast, grizzlies will lose another approximately 30,000 square km of range that they now just barely occupy.
Grizzly bear power of story
It's a great story of the resourceful grizzly bear that ambled into the Garibaldi-Pitt area - the kind of tale that can help people understand what wildlife like grizzly bears are up against and how they often manage to figure it out. Someone, too, had a keen sense of irony naming this female grizzly bear "Power" since run-of-river power projects are one of the main threats to her habitat. But grizzly bears in southwest BC definitely need help in the form of a recovery plan that safeguards their habitat and helps prevent human conflict. Power's story could have easily been a short one.
Short-changing mountain caribou
The US government is reviewing a petition to remove mountain caribou from protection under the Endangered Species Act. How does such a short-sighted approach serve any species' genetic fitness or ability to adapt to a changing world? How and where do we resist the constant pressure of special interests to shrink the ranges of plants and animals to ever smaller, more ineffective patches of habitat?
Be a grizzly hero!
The way that North Cascades grizzly bears will recover is through natural immigration from British Columbia, lacking any movement from the US Fish and Wildlife Service on a recovery plan for threatened Cascades bears. Yet we don't even know how many bears there are remaining on the BC side of the Cascades. So we've launched a new project with our BC partners asking backcountry users in BC to report potential grizzly bear sightings using a new BC grizzly bear sightings hotline, 1-855-GO-GRIZZ. Hopefully this will help fill in the BC bear blanks and raise awareness of the plight of the southern-most grizzlies on the west coast.
Grizzly bear thrills - and a transfusion
The PBS program Nature is showing three episodes this month featuring my friend Chris Morgan and the bears of Alaska. I'm thrilled for Chris and the success he's achieved with his fresh, exciting, and unvarnished approach showcasing bears in some of the last remaining wild habitats on earth. This stuff gives me the chills; the good chills like you get when the knockout babe in history class gives you that "you may have a shot" look. I'm a "nature" show junkie and have seen hundreds of wildlife treatments. But this one is very visceral. It's not without some sadness, however, that I watch such compelling programs. Grizzly bears have always been on the front lines in the battle against species extinctions in North America – first to go and last to return. And nowhere is that truer than in our Washington and British Columbia Cascades...
Learning more about lynx
For someone with a juvenile sense of humor like myself, there is always some amusement to be found in most situations. And after two days and 120 clicks on snow machines in the Loomis forest, I was starting to think the highlight would be Department of Natural Resources biologist Scott Fisher's rear end sticking out of a chicken wire trap meant for a 20-lb lynx.
Holy melting glaciers, Batman!
Ecologists have insisted for decades that our parks and protected areas are too small and disconnected to satisfy long-term conservation needs – way before Al Gore took to the stump with his Graphs of Disaster. Is the tide finally turning for the fate of wildlife in the face of global warming? Some new plans from the powers that be may just mean yes.

- 2008 Yamaha YZ125 (2-Stroke)
2008 Yamaha YZ125 (2-Stroke)
YZ125... who said 2 Strokes are dead?
Super light weight, instantaneous power, less expensive to maintain, and reduced noise. These are just a few of the reasons why some customers still love a YZ 2-stroke. For 2008 we have given these riders some more reasons to love the 2008 Yamaha YZ125. New reed valve spaer improves power, while all new lightweight front and rear wave style rotos slow things down in a hurry. As always, we have revised the suspension too.
Now even lighter - new refinements along with an aluminum frame housing an amazingly compact engine results in the consummate combination of power and lightness no other 125 can match.
While some manufacturers are putting all their eggs in one basket, the engineers at Yamaha believe that choice is a good thing.
So whether your weapon of choice is a berm blasting two stroke or arm stretching four stroke, we have your needs covered. Check out the new 2008 YZ125, we have made a number of detail improvements to go along with all the good stuff that already makes the YZ125 a great choice.
Liquid-cooled, 124cc, crankcase reed valve-inducted 2-stroke engine provides class leading power and acceleration. This compact engine provides class leading power and is easy to service.
7.5-degree cylinder angle and specially designed straight shot intake path through the combustion chamber provide maximum power output.
Newly designed intake manifold features a shape change for '08 for increased engine performance.
The cylinder features a ceramic composite plating on the cylinder bore to ensure uniform heat dissipation, reduced friction and increased service life.
Specially designed combustion chamber achieves a more complete burn at higher rpms for exceptional power output.
The flat top piston matches the combustion chamber design for maximum power delivery.
In order to reduce frictional losses, the lightweight crank uses special friction reducing crankshaft seals that reduce reciprocating losses for improved power.
Crankcases are both compact and lightweight.
Quick-access, magnesium outer clutch cover is light weight and speeds clutch access and servicing.
Close-ratio, 6-speed transmission uses optimized gear ratios to maximize power for outstanding acceleration and corner-exiting power.
Yamaha's patented YPVS system features a slide (guillotine) type power valve that provides the benefits of both solid, low-rpm power delivery combined with a strong top-end punch. This system varies the exhaust port height and timing based on engine rpm. The valve is also designed to match the curvature of the cylinder, resulting in a strong seal, thereby providing increased power delivery.
Mikuni TMXx38mm carburetor features a "D" slide design. The TMXx carb uses a "D" shaped slide design to enhance overall power, while providing crisp throttle response at all rpms.
6-petal, carbon fiber reed design means stronger high-rpm performance with greater over-rev capacity.
Digital CD ignition system delivers a precise spark and monitors engine speed to ensure optimal timing at all rpms for fast, strong response.
Platinum NGK BR9EVX high performance spark plug is used to insure complete combustion and maximum power output. The electrode material is a specially designed platinum alloy.
Washable, dual-stage, foam air filter reduces maintenance costs.
Large-capacity, dual radiators feature a 10-row core with 4 louvers to deliver maximum cooling efficiency.
High capacity water pump design uses a plastic impeller to reduce weight.
Lightweight exhaust system features a re-packable aluminum silencer which allows the rider / mechanic to maintain the correct amount of back pressure for maximum engine performance while reducing noise.
Works-style clutch lever features a race-spec "barrel adjuster" for on-the-fly adjustability.
Lightweight, aluminum, semi-double-cradle style frame combined with the compact engine design, offer an awesome power to weight ratio. The obvious benefit of an aluminum frame is a significant reduction in overall machine weight. Yamaha has maintained the semi-double cradle design because it offers an excellent balance between stiff lateral and torsion rigidity while offering more controlled flex in the longitudinal plane. This frame design offers the ideal "stiffness balance" which means it offers the flexibility of a steel frame with the light weight of an aluminum frame. This frame is made from a unique mix of castings, forgings and extrusions that provide stiffness where it is required and flexibility in other areas. The result is the world's lightest aluminum MX frame, which provides excellent handling, good ride quality, excellent stability and responsive cornering performance.
Removable rear subframe is constructed of square-section, lightweight aluminum. Detachable design allows easy access when servicing rear suspension components.
Lightweight, taper design aluminum swingarm is produced using "hydro forming", a special forming method that uses high pressure water to form shapes.
Cast aluminum upper triple clamp and forged lower triple clamp provide both lightweight and strength for fast, easy handling.
Adjustable handlebar mounts allow the handlebars to be moved 10mm rearward if desired.
Revised "speed sensitive" 48mm, adjustable, inverted, Kayaba cartridge fork features a twin-chamber design. The twin chamber design means the damper unit is in a separate structure which prevents aerated fork oil from entering the inner damper assembly and degrading its damping abilities. Since the inner damper is pressurized, it also eliminates bubbles forming in the oil. The speeds sensitive design mean the damping force is controlled by the piston speed in the fork.
The balance between the inner and outer fork tubes has been optimized for 2008, while the Kashima coating on the pressure tank and the piston rod reduce friction for smoother suspension performance. The cylinder diameter is 24mm for excellent primary cushioning while low friction oil seals provide reduced stiction for a smoother stroke.
The revised 48mm KYB fork also features a change to the outer fork tube. While the outer fork tube is optimized in terms of thickness and rigidity for superb handling, the area around the fork seal has been modified for improved suspension performance and reduced weight.
This fork also features a Transfer Control Valve (TCV). The TCV enhances the damping force of the inner damper from mid stroke to full stroke and improves bottoming characteristics. The benefit of TCV is more precise control throughout the full stroke range.
The left and right axle mounting brackets are new for 2008. They are more compact and lighter in total weight than last year.
"Kashima coating" is applied to the fork tubes to reduce friction for smoother suspension performance. Front wheel travel is 300mm (11.8").
Front fork adjustments include: 20-way compression damping and 20-way rebound damping. Optional fork springs are available through Genuine Yamaha parts.
Revised design "wrap-around" plastic fork protectors provide excellent protection from dirt, mud and stone chips. The "self-supporting" design reduces friction for smoother fork operation. The lower axle brackets have been revised to accommodate the new protectors.
Revised Monocross link rear suspension system features a fully adjustable, Kayaba, piggyback shock which provides 315mm (12.4") of wheel travel and features separate adjusters for high- and low-speed compression damping. Adjustments include: spring preload, 20-way rebound damping, 20-way low-speed compression damping and 2 turns of high speed compression damping. The damper rod diameter is 18mm in diameter, while Kashima coating is used in the shock body and sub tank to reduce friction and improve suspension performance during a long moto. The 2008 Kayaba shock utilizes a full rebound oil lock system for excellent suspension function and great ride quality.
Super lightweight, "Beta" titanium shock spring. This spring reduces weight by over 500 grams versus a conventional steel spring. A reduction in "unsprung" weight causes a dramatic effect on suspension performance. This titanium spring provides outstanding strength, and durability, combined with reduced weight.
All new 250mm floating front disc brake features a new "wave" style rotor (disc) which reduces weight and improves styling.
All new compact Nissin twin piston front caliper utilizes lightweight aluminum pistons and reduces weight by 27%. The braking performance is excellent with great feel and control. This is the same caliper as our 4-stroke YZ-F models.
Revised "shorty" style front brake lever features a revision to the adjustment range.
245mm rear disc brake with single piston caliper uses an integrated master cylinder (fluid reservoir is integrated into the top of the master cylinder) for strong stopping power with excellent feel and control.
All new "wave" style rear rotor (disc) reduces weight by 12% over last year. It also adds a special styling highlight too.
The rear brake caliper features a rugged plastic caliper protector, while the lower edge of the disc is protected by a lower disc guard.
Specially designed "Sun Star" rear sprocket increases the contact area between the sprocket and chain rollers, thereby reducing the load on the chain and increasing the service life of both chain and sprocket.
Lightweight, 21" front and 19" rear rims provide exceptional durability and help reduce unsprung weight for optimal suspension performance and handling.
Specially designed rear wheel collar is tapered to allow for faster, easier wheel removal installation.
Pro Taper handlebars with reinforcing crossbar and foam pad provide excellent durability and reduced weight.
Premium Dunlop knobby tires offer excellent race-spec traction.
"Flat-design" seat features multi density foam that provides good initial softness / comfort and then increases the firmness as more pressure is applied. The "pebble" or "gripper" finish on the top and side surfaces provides excellent rider grip and durability.
Seat, handlebar and slim design fuel tank ergonomics provide excellent freedom of movement for the rider.
Large fuel cap and filler hole ensures easy opening and fast, hassle-free refueling.
Lightweight, wide titanium footpegs provide excellent grip and ground clearance.
Cleated, rear brake lever and folding shift lever tip offer superb grip and exceptional durability.
Stainless steel, inner clutch cable provides excellent strength and long life.
Repackable exhaust silencer means a rider can maintain optimum engine performance
and reduced noise levels.

Your barrel lugs were bearing on your slide release/stop pin. That was happening during shooting when your firearm goes into battery.
My best guess is that it has probably stopped doing that already or you would likely have already sheared off your lower barrel lugs - or bent or broke your slide stop pin or suffered a broken or deformed barrel link after having shot 500 rounds.
Now that you've removed the burrs you can try and shoot it some more and see if the lug peening has now stopped.
I have seen barrel lugs that have peened slightly initially and then the issue stopped as the barrel became shot in.
I have also seen "take off" surplus used 1911 military barrels that have exhibited that same peening.
As a test you can install the barrel with its bushing into the slide minus the recoil spring, spring guide and plug....then get everything lined up and insert only the slide stop pin through the hole in the frame & into barrel link but just let the remainder of the slide stop hang down in front of the trigger guard.
Don't snap the slide stop into the plunger/tube just let it hang.
Now....when you manually move the slide forward into full battery...the barrel (of course) will swing/pivot up on the barrel link and the top barrel lugs will move up and engage into the slide locking lugs - and when you manually put approximate recoil spring pressure on the rear of the slide - the slide stop should swing easily or at least freely.
While putting pressure on the rear of the slide you should actually even be able to fairly easily push the slide stop pin out from the flip side of the frame.
That will tell you if your barrel lugs are still bearing on your slide stop pin.
BTW: It's Good that you dumped the FLGR.

Many of your questions about the UB PMBA program are answered in the FAQs below. If your concerns are not addressed here, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 716-645-3200.
Expect to spend an average of 10 hours per week on activities outside of class.
Classes are primarily held on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 6:30-9:10 p.m. late August through June. Mini-course electives are typically offered the week before the semester starts and are scheduled for three weeknights and one half day on Saturday.
All PMBA program applicants are required to take the GMAT or the GRE exam as part of the application process, without exception. Test scores must be sent to the School of Management directly from the testing agency. The test is offered year-round and can be taken at a time convenient for you. Keep in mind that appointments to take the GMAT or GRE may be more difficult to schedule as the application deadline approaches.
To make an appointment to take the GMAT or for more information, visit www.mba.com. To make an appointment to take the GRE or for more information, visit www.ets.org/gre.
You will need at least one year of full-time work experience
after completing your undergraduate degree. Preference for
admission will be given to those with more work experience.
You will need regular access to a computer. If you do not currently have access, we can provide you with guidelines for purchasing a computer. Many of your courses in the PMBA program will require familiarity with word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software.
The PMBA program is designed as a general MBA program, and most students choose to pursue knowledge in a variety of business disciplines rather than specializing in a single area. However, if you have flexibility in your work hours, you may substitute electives offered during the day for select electives offered in the evening as part of your program. Contact the PMBA office for questions on a specific area of concentration.
You are eligible for the PMBA program with an undergraduate degree in any discipline. We recommend you take at least one semester of college calculus before enrolling, but this is not required.

According to Business Insider, there's a new app called LuLu where women can anonymously rate men they've dated.
"On Lulu, men aren't allowed in, and women can anonymously rate them without their consent. The men, who are all guys the women know via Facebook, are rated on a scale of one to ten. Their profiles are automatically pulled in when the women they know access Lulu. When rating a man, women are prompted to share how they know him (friend, ex-girlfriend, etc), then asked to check off all the good and bad qualities about the man that apply."
So now instead of venting to your friends over a glass of wine or two you can broadcast to the entire world why your relationship didn't work out or why you don't like (or do like, in rare cases) so and so.
It sounds like something high school mean girls would come up with. It is easy to condemn/malign/gossip about another person. There's nothing insecure bullies love doing more than making other people feel bad about themselves.
But according to LuLu users, this app isn't about being catty and immature, its about female empowerment and collective wisdom.
Yeah, right, because you know the absolute hellfire that would be raised if the situation was reverse.
Besides being very uncharitable, the rating system on LuLu is also very objectifying—not to mention a total invasion of the guy's privacy (whose facebook profiles and information are used without their permission).
There's a tendency nowadays to think that anonymous comments posted online are innocuous. But they can be very damaging and devastating. When posting things online one tends to be much crueler than one would be face to face.
Remember that anything posted online is permanent. Anything you write can always come back and haunt you. Even twitter tweets are filed away in the Library of Congress for posterity.
Before you rate your past boyfriend, keep in mind that sometimes things just don't work out between two people. It doesn't necessarily make anyone the bad guy.
How many times has a couple had a terrible relationship and then the next person they date turns out to be just right and things go so smoothly?
When you break up with someone, the mature thing to do is to vent if you must and then move on. There's no need to resort to this sort of immature and cruel behavior.
We all have dignity and that should be respected. If women don't want to be treated like disposable objects, then they should not treat men that way. Certainly we value the advice and opinions of our friends, but this gossip app is damaging.
As my mother would say "How would you like this done to you?"

As a CollegeSpring mentor, you will work to give all students the opportunity to choose a four-year college by tutoring high school juniors and helping them to prepare in-depth for the SAT. CollegeSpring mentors learn to teach and to teach well. You will facilitate discussion and provide the skilled guidance needed to help students really "get it." In the intimacy of a small-group setting, you will help students clarify confusing concepts and sharpen their skills in order to achieve the SAT scores they need to succeed. You will also prepare students for college admissions and financial aid, so that this one first step, taking the SAT, becomes the beginning of a successful college journey.
For high school students, taking a college entrance exam is the first big turning point between "college ready" and "college bound." Students must take the SAT or ACT to be eligible for most four-year colleges, and scoring well on the SAT can make a significant impact on students' college options. You will help students achieve the SAT scores they need to broaden and bolster their college options. Your involvement early in the college application process gives students, many of whom will be the first in their families to attend a four-year college, the support they need to succeed.
As a college student, you will be much more than a tutor. You will lead by example, helping students gain confidence in their own ability to not only go to college, but to be high-achievers and leaders on campus. As a near-peer role model, your own story will be one of your key assets as you help students realize that taking the SAT and applying to college, which may seem like daunting obstacles, are actually achievable.
CollegeSpring mentors are dedicated, passionate strivers in the classroom and beyond. Our mentors come from all sorts of colleges, majors, and walks of life, but share a firm belief in educational equity and the desire to make a concrete difference.

Perfect Your Elevator Pitch
What do you tell him?
Allow me to introduce the elevator pitch, an essential tool in a business world where time is short, stakes are high and opportunities can present themselves at any time.
what is an elevator pitch?Think of the elevator pitch as your personal 30-second television spot: an easy to understand and concisely delivered summary designed to promote you and your company to potential business associates. It should impress your listener enough to stay lodged in his mind, and open up the door for a future meeting. Think of it as speed dating for Wall Street.
In spite of its name, the elevator pitch need not be restricted to elevators. It can be used anywhere your time is limited, such as at networking events or during breaks at conventions. Regardless of circumstances, however, it should take no longer than an elevator ride to the top floor — hence the name.
what to include in your pitchThe successful elevator pitch isn't just a list of good things about you — it's not a job interview. Your goal is to paint a broad portrait of your business and outline the potential benefits to your listener.
Your pitch should start with a hook, a pithy comment that draws him in. Good hooks appeal to a need or suggest a future benefit, like dreamy profits. It should be immediately followed by one sentence that explains succinctly how you can create that outcome.
Having captured his attention, it's time to back up your claims. This is where your knowledge of the industry will come in. Know your market, your competition, industry leaders, and latest trends. How will your partnership succeed in this environment? This is a great time to throw in a figure for potential profits.
List the reasons why your company is better than the competition. What technology do you use? Who are your current partners? What exclusive distribution channels do you have? Stick to the essentials. You can bore him with details later when you score a meeting.
If you can tie your pitch to a present concern, such as security, medical needs or debt, do so. Your priority is to keep him interested, not necessarily persuaded right off the mark. That will come later.

Yes, I'm in that boat with both of you. I really don't care to have 300hp. Fun, but not neccessary. I'd like my trans to last and my engine too. If I could get 230 from the SK+, that would be good, and then I could add cams or exhaust later to maybe bring it up to 260. That would be about perfect for me. Then, drop in a lower diff and zooooom!
I went and saw my mechanic today about the cam, injectors, intake, software I was planning on doing with him. Final price with tax is going to run me $3370 for 30to 35hp. So, for $700 more I can get 50 to 60. Hmmmm.....SK+ is looking mighty good :-). Like I said, I can always go back and add some more stuff lately.
For you Step guys out there, I've been tracking down dropping a 3.91 diff in my car. I've got graphs of the rpm change as compared with the 3.46 we currently run. Not bad at all. Looks like it will cost me around $2K. If I get the SK+, the diff will have to wait. But it will be my next performance mod after the SK.

When it comes to applying a fresh finish onto an existing pool or spa, the new material will only be as successful as what's underneath.
The new surface must adhere properly to the old, and the old material must be suitable to receive the new.
With many of today's products, some are finding a bond coat is more necessary. "Years ago we used to do a standard plaster finish [and] roughen the surface enough to get a decent bond on it," says Kevin Ford, president of Pool Builders Inc. in Davie, Fla. "But with the newer finishes it is much harder to get a rough enough finish in order to achieve a good bond with the new surface."
To that end, there are several ways to prepare an existing vessel for a new finish. Sometimes, the cheapest and easiest method is to apply a bond coat. This cementitious material is meant to form a physical and chemical bond with the new coat of finish so that it won't go anywhere once applied.
Here, veterans discuss the best way to apply bond coats.
Preparing the surface
While applying a bond coat is one of the easiest ways to prepare the surface, it isn't always the right way.
First of all, the old plaster must be in good enough shape to support the new coat. If large amounts of delamination are present, it's an indication that the coat is no longer sound and may not support a new finish. In these cases, if the old material isn't removed, it may continue to come off and take the new with it.
Problems can show up in the process of cleaning the pool surface. "Say you do an acid wash or you're power washing it, and it just starts crumbling — at that point it's not a good candidate," says Greg Garrett, owner of Applied Materials Technology in Chandler, Ariz.
The bond coat may be the best way to go if the pool has already undergone one or two chip-outs, which often take a little bit of shotcrete or gunite with it.
If the original finish is in good shape and the contractor decides to apply a bond coat, the surface must be properly roughened up and prepared. This way, the bond coat will fuse onto the old surface.
This stage is where errors commonly occur. "I've seen bond failures where the new plaster adhered to the bond coat material itself, but the bonding material came away from the substrate, and when you look at the substrate it was as smooth as can be," Garrett says.
In preparing the surface, professionals should check for any loose patches of plaster. A bond coat is still feasible if there are only a few, but they need to be removed.
"If you have any soft residual materials left, that could eventually peel up and take the new bond coat with it," says Alan Smith, owner of Alan Smith Pool Plastering in Orange, Calif.
Next, the entire surface must be cleaned and roughed up to receive the bond coat. Some plasterers do this by performing an acid wash. This not only removes staining, but also strips away part of the old surface cream from the original finish, thus roughening the surface.
Others prefer to sand blast the old finish. "The key objective is to have any soft, hollow or scaled surfaces removed so you have a hard, durable surface to stick to," Smith says. "We use sandblasting because we think that is the most aggressive way of removing the plaster."
His crews use a 365-cfm (cubic feet per minute) compressor and a coarse, hard sand, say 12- to 16-grit. "It's a sharp, angular sand that cuts really well," Smith says.
While the crews do this, pieces of the old material may peel back. That needs to be removed down to secure material.
Next, the surface should be cleaned before the bond coat can be applied. "It has to be a super-clean surface, otherwise [the bond coat] won't stick properly," Smith says. "Even if you sand blast it, you have to make sure all the sand, grit and any soft materials are completely off. If you acid wash it, all the acid has to be neutralized."
Applying the product
When choosing a bond coat, make sure it's suitable for pools and spas. Some products may perform just fine in showers, bathtubs and kitchens, but that doesn't mean they can withstand the chemical conditions found in a pool or spa.
"You should ask the question: Is this product meant to be in a continuously immersed, chemically treated environment?" Garret says. "The answer had better be, 'Absolutely.'"
Also, do not make your own bond coat. While it has worked for some applicators, they generally have extensive knowledge of the chemistry of the various components. For most, this will result in failure (see sidebar).
When mixing the bond coat, do not exceed the recommended amount of water or it will become weaker and won't form the peaks needed for a rough texture. "Some people will … dilute it down in order to stretch it and make it work, but you can't do things like that," Ford says.
The bond coat also is affected by weather. On hot days, it must be applied quickly — experts recommend that the membrane is completed before the temperature of the air or substrate reaches 90 degrees. Bond coats also should not be applied when fog or rain are imminent since cold, damp weather will delay setting times and may even compromise its effectiveness. "On many of the products, polymers usually don't cross link or coalesce under 50 degrees," Garrett says. "It won't coalesce, harden and serve a viable function. So it's the Goldilocks story: You never put it down when it's too cold, and you should never put it down when it's too hot."
The bond coat material can be brushed, rolled or sprayed, with each method requiring a different technique.
Brushing is probably the least expensive: Not only are brushes inexpensive, but this method also doesn't waste material. When using this technique, applicators should essentially throw the bond coat on by snapping the brush toward the surface, forming small peaks.
Rolling is economical as well — again, there is no large upfront equipment investment. The bond coat is applied with thick-nap paint rollers, which help create a peaked texture. This method involves easier clean-up and allows for plenty of control in application, Ford says, however, it can use up more of the material.
Spraying is pricier because of the spray gun, but it's also faster, can use less material and, when the adjustments are right, will automatically leave a highly textured, stucco-like surface. When spraying the material, professionals should hold the gun perpendicular to the surface. "If it comes at an angle, sometimes [the material] bounces off, and doesn't stick properly," Smith says.
In addition, the compressor needs to be set to release the right amount of air. Too much will cause a spray of particles that aren't large enough; too little will create a material that doesn't peak up well. "If it's just right, it has a nice, fine texture to it," Smith says. The correct setting depends on factors such as the size of the gun and its orifice, so crews must take the time to make adjustments until the consistency is right.
If these elements aren't right, the material will begin to behave like shotcrete — namely, pieces resembling rebound will bounce off the walls, and the remaining material may not be strong enough.
Regardless of the method used, the basic goals are the same. The surface should be somewhat rough to create both a physical and chemical bond. It also should be uniform and level throughout the vessel. This not only allows the material to set consistently to attain an even performance, but also helps form an even, level foundation for the new finish material.
Keys to good application
Crews may need to combine methods to work around different elements. For instance, simple fittings such as light niches can be covered with tape so that the applicators can simply spray over them. However, some features, such as rockwork that dips into the pool, may be too complicated to tape. Here, Smith's team uses a combination of spraying and rolling. "We'll roll it maybe a foot down [from the rockwork] and then spray," Smith explains. This allows them greater control when they work near the rocks.
Once the coat is completely applied, it should be left for at least a day, but no more than three. If the coat sits too long, it won't be able to form a chemical bond with the finish material.

Super Weak
- Height: 15m
- Ascents: 102
- Description:© (Ashy)
One of the classic test piece 26's in the mountains that keeps you working from start to finish. A burly, awkward move gets you off the deck and established onto the flake. The technical crux now follows which involves a gnarly fingery traverse to the right. Before you rest on your laurels, 'Super Weak', like all good climbs has the dreaded "linkage crux" lurking somewhere beyond the technical crux. Now make a quick dash for the mid height rest before the pump spits you off. Having sufficiently recovered, head straight up the wall past another tricky section where you must weigh up the pros and cons of clipping the dogging bolt. Just to put the icing on the cake, the finish requires an unnerving balancy move to lean back and reach up to clip the anchors. Having put your heart and soul into ticking this absolute ripper you would think you deserved at least a 27 for the effort.
- Ethic: inherited from Blue Mountains
Although sport climbing is well entrenched as the most popular form of Blueys climbing, mixed-climbing on gear and bolts has generally been the rule over the long term. Please try to use available natural gear where possible, and do not bolt cracks or potential trad climbs.
Because of the softness of Blue Mountains sandstone, bolting should only be done by those with a solid knowledge of glue-in equipping. A recent fatality serves as a reminder that this is not an area to experiment with bolting.
If you do need to top rope, please do it through your own gear as the wear on the anchors is both difficult and expensive to maintain.
It would be appreciated if brushing of holds becomes part of your climbing routine - do it with a soft bristled brush and never a steel brush!
The removal of vegetation - both from the cliff bases and the climbs - is not seen as beneficial to aesthetics of the environment nor to our access to it. However, the fast growing scrub can conceal walking tracks in mere months, so bringing a pair of secaturs and pruning as you walk is a good way of helping out with the constant task of track maintenance. Some appropriately discreet pruning is a far better alternative then track braiding (which causes far more damage). It's also a good warmup for your forearms!

I could use the source code by ignoring "Baro" functions.
But the source code has a limitation of horizontal direction.
It can use only flat direction of circuit board.

It wasn't bad enough that the Titans lost at home Sunday to the formerly winless Jaguars, a team that had lost each of its previous eight games by double digits. No, the loss in the standings was compounded by a major loss for the offense. Quarterback Jake Locker suffered a right foot injury during the second quarter and didn't return. Sources tell The Tennessean's Jim Wyatt that the team believes Locker will miss the rest of the season after initial tests revealed a Lisfranc injury. Surgery is a possibility, according to those sources. Locker left the stadium on crutches with his right foot in a walking boot. He committed two turnovers and gained just 42 total yards before his exit.
Ryan Fitzpatrick took over and while he almost completed the comeback, he also had the football stolen right out of his hands and returned by the Jaguars for a defensive score. He completed 22 of 33 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns.
Fantasy Analysis:
Locker's ill-starred career continues. He missed two games earlier this season with a hip injury, and he has a history of shoulder problems. Now he has an extremely debilitating foot injury. The kid just has really bad luck. Fitzpatrick looked good on Sunday, but it was the Jaguars. He is not a marked improvement from Locker No matter who is under center, it looks like Kendall Wright is the only Titans receiver worth caring about in fantasy.
