My summer at Quinn was nothing short of phenomenal. For example, I had the opportunity to work on not one, but two hearings as well as an appeal to the Federal Circuit. And my assistance in these matters wasn't limited to menial tasks such as bringing the partners coffee or carrying binders; instead, the best trial lawyers in the business were asking me, a summer associate, how we could hone their arguments to give us the best shot at a win for our client. Quinn is neither for wallflowers nor the faint of heart, but if you want to know what being a high-level trial lawyer is all about, then it may just be the place for you.
The entire time I was at Quinn, I felt like I was part of the team getting ready for trial. The partners trusted me to prepare language to be submitted to the court or sent to the client. I felt like all of the work that I did genuinely mattered and helped our clients' cases. I couldn't recommend Quinn more to anybody looking for a true hands-on summer experience.
During my summer at Quinn I was doing real, substantive work from the first day I walked in the door. Within two weeks of starting, I had a partner present one of my projects directly to one of the firm's biggest clients…That just doesn't happen at other firms. It didn't matter that I was only a summer associate—all that mattered was that I could do the work. If you're looking for a place where you can hit the ground running, there is nowhere better than Quinn.
Quinn DELIVERED on its promise of early substantive opportunity: I drafted a motion in limine to exclude expert testimony, prepared an outline for cross-examining a cardiovascular disease specialist, created demonstratives for a federal court hearing that I also attended, summarized depositions, met expert witnesses, and attended a mock trial with real jury consultants. In short, I was part of a trial team from day 1. If you're looking for that kind of fast-paced and dynamic experience, Quinn is the right place.
This summer has been thrilling. Want to be a litigator? Come to Quinn. Real work, great people, and a culture that breeds excellence. You'll arrive as a wide-eyed 2L; you'll leave as a future trial lawyer.
If you want a summer full of substantive and interesting work with brilliant litigators, Quinn is where you want to be. On day one I was doing research for a copyright case that was incorporated into a brief, and by the end of the summer I was helping partners prepare for oral argument on the case. My favorite thing about Quinn is that my ideas and work really mattered. I was given real responsibility and felt like part of the team.
Quinn's summer program stands far above any other. Instead of (or in addition to) being charmed by the fancy meals and events, I was completely charmed by the work and the people. I had the opportunity to work on substantive assignments, including drafting sections of briefs, helping with substantive legal research, and feeling like a true member of a case team. I know that when I return to Quinn, I will be returning to some of the most fascinating work and supportive coworkers I could imagine.
No, the things you've heard about Quinn aren't too good to be true. It really sunk in for me when I showed up to a moot, thinking I'd just been invited to observe. Next thing I know, the partner is pressing me for extensive feedback, as if it were the most natural thing in the world—and we're talking about a dispositive motion in a major case. No make-work memos here: from day one, my fellow summers and I were relied on for work product that could be shown to a client, used in a deposition or brief. The last eleven weeks gave me a thrilling glimpse of the litigation process, from business development to appeal and everything in between. I couldn't have asked for cooler cases—or colleagues.
I spent most of my summer working on a fascinating fair use case. By August, I'd written legal memos, helped moot the attorney who would be arguing the case, and conducted fact-finding that would eventually make its way into the briefing. I knew I was interested in IP litigation, and working at Quinn gave me real, hands-on experience in that field. But it wasn't all work: we went sailing on the Hudson, saw an opera at Glimmerglass, and even hiked the Dolomites. The summer at Quinn was better than I could have asked for.
I chose to work at Quinn for the summer because I believed that it was where I would receive the most responsibility and be able to work on a wide variety of subjects. My summer here happily proved me correct. I was able to do the type of work not available to summers at other firms or at law schools, often on matters I had never thought of. Most importantly, I saw the effect my work had on the final product. I could not have asked for a better summer, and feel that the experience was vastly superior to my classmates from law school at other firms. In particular, the mock trial program was excellent. It is something that no other summer class gets to do and it demonstrates what the firm is about. The feedback I received over the course of that week was some of the most valuable I received.
Quinn doesn't mess around: three days into my summer, I was on a trial team, working closely with two partners and an associate on trial strategy, witness preparation, and last-minute research. I spent my entire second week attending trial, watching our incredibly talented attorneys put on a show. I'm not sure how many summer associates in the country get an opportunity like that, but at Quinn it's nothing out of the ordinary. Throughout the summer I was given substantive work on important matters for major clients. If you want to litigate, Quinn is the place to be.
I distinctly remember the weeks leading up to my summer at the firm. I thought to myself, "This place must be too good to be true." No dress code. Real work. Annual hike. Nationally-renown attorneys. Actual trials. Frankly, despite my excitement to have my foot in the door at this top tier firm, I was terrified; there had to be a catch! It ends up that there isn't one. On my third day of work, I assisted—not observed—assisted in two depositions. Within the first month, my partner mentor emailed me a brief and encouraged me to edit his work. When there was a particular partner I wanted to meet and possibly work with, I was told to walk down the hall and knock on the door to her office. I did, and she embraced the opportunity. The partners and associates here are brilliant mentors and attorney role models, but they are also wonderful people and ones with whom I will be thrilled to be stuck in a War Room for weeks on end. I can't believe I ever had any doubts about this experience, and I cannot wait to return as an associate.
The firm hike really tells you everything you need to know about the Quinn Emanuel summer experience. It was a three-day trek over miles of boulder fields, sometimes wet and unstable, on terrain that had caused the scouting group to turn back a month before. Associates, summers, and partners, including John Quinn, were indistinguishable as we faced one of the greatest physical challenges of our lives, together. The same was true of work—there was no subordination, no sense that your assignment was trivial or that your arguments would not influence the final work product. I was given the chance to make real, substantive contributions to huge cases involving important clients."
I had such a wonderful time summering at Quinn. From day one I was given meaningful and relevant assignments. I wrote an advocate's brief arguing that a contract should be voided, draft a subpoena, and an analysis section of a motion to remove under federal question. I also researched and wrote memoranda on a variety of legal issues, including exclusion of expert testimony on reliability grounds, contract interpretation, and in pari delicto in a trustee case. I participated in a Mock Trial program and argued a case from motions in limine to closing argument. I attended a deposition and a court hearing. I worked with amazingly brilliant and fun associates and partners. I even backpacked for three days in Alaska which is something I never would have done on my own! The experience was invaluable and unforgettable.
Working at Quinn Emanuel LA was the summer associate experience I always hoped that I would have. Quinn Emanuel had me learn by doing, not by watching. I wrote whole sections of briefs, participated in trial strategy meetings, attended depositions and trials, analyzed numerous issues of first impression across different legal areas, and even tried a case from opening to closing in the mock trial program. And most importantly, I did it all under the tutelage of the best and brightest trial lawyers there are. After speaking with my friends summering at other firms, I can confidently say that if you know you want to be a trial lawyer, Quinn Emanuel is not just a good place to be a summer associate, it is the best place.
A summer at Quinn gives an aspiring litigator the depth and the breadth of what practice entails. I followed a case for the entire summer, including litigation strategy meetings, client meetings, and creating substantive work product that was both produced to the court and opposing counsel. Throughout, there were opportunities to work in different areas of law with brilliant attorneys. Only at Quinn will different weeks find you in Alaska, the courtroom, and the all the fun spots in San Francisco.
I could not have had a better summer. I had really interesting assignments on a variety of cases, learned new areas of law, and had the opportunity to observe strategy meetings, depositions, and hearings. One of the best parts of the summer was getting to know the associates and partners. I had a great time going to events and hanging out with associates after work. I can't speak more highly of the people at Quinn. They are smart, fun, and passionate about their work. I can't wait to return next fall!
My summer at Quinn was an amazing experience. I had the opportunity to work on a variety of interesting and substantive projects with a group of very talented lawyers. From writing memos and motions to attending client meetings, hearings, and depositions, I was able to do meaningful work and get a glimpse of what being a trial lawyer is really like. The summer events were also so much fun!
This summer at Quinn was by far one of the best and most memorable experiences. On any given day, you are surrounded by brilliant lawyers who are staffed on huge, front-page headline cases. Everything from start to finish was a learning experience. From the informal training where partners and associates will swing by your office to grab you for an assignment, deposition, or hearing, to the formal training which took form in the amazing Mock Trial program that was taught by partners, of counsel, and senior associates who all took the time to personally critique and fine-tune our trial skills. Besides being in an office with top litigators on a daily, I was also surrounded by down-to-earth and friendly individuals. Overall, I can't emphasize enough how great my summer experience with Quinn was.
I cannot imagine a better summer experience than at Quinn. Coming in, I was interested in getting an accurate picture of working at the firm as an associate, and I cannot wait to come back and continue working with people at Quinn again. I was very impressed by the people at the firm, especially with how well-rounded everybody was. From the beginning of the summer, I was put on a high-profile, high-stakes patent case, where I consistently produced work product that was relied upon by the team. But outside of the office, the official and unofficial activities were truly memorable and we, as a summer class, grew close to the first and second year associates. If you are looking to litigate, there's no firm like Quinn.
There's a lot of firms that do big cases. There's a lot of firms that have interesting work. But there is truly no place where you will have the opportunities afforded by Quinn Emanuel. During the summer, you will truly make your own destiny. You can work with whoever you wish on whatever you wish in almost any capacity. The work is great. But most importantly, the people are great.
My summer at Quinn exceeded my expectations. I got to work on exciting cases and got experience with all aspects of litigation: from writing an answer, to drafting a motion for an appeal. More than that, I got to work with brilliant and engaging attorneys who were fun to work with and incredible to learn from. In addition to getting real, substantive experience, I also had a lot of fun. From indoor skydiving, to biking through Napa, to hiking through Alaska (which was, without a doubt, the most beautiful place I have ever been), to spending the day jet skiing and tubing on Lake Berryessa, I can't even begin to pick a favorite event. It has been an incredible summer, and I cannot recommend Quinn's summer program enough."
My summer with Quinn Emanuel has been fantastic. Not only did I learn how to litigate by observing and working with smart, talented attorneys, but I was also welcomed to share my thoughts and ideas. For example, another summer associate and I did the bulk of the work in creating a pitch to represent a semiconductor company in a patent infringement case. The associate for whom we were working encouraged us to use our own insight in crafting the presentation. Quinn gives great opportunities to gain experience, while also equipping summer associates with the tools necessary to succeed (i.e. the summer mock trial program). I cannot imagine a better summer experience.
I really enjoyed my summer in Quinn's Silicon Valley office. The attorneys that I worked with are brilliant and down-to-earth. Also, they were willing to give me substantive work and took the time to give me feedback on my assignments. I was given the opportunity to work on an array of cases, including patent cases, an appellate case, and a consumer protection class settlement.
My Quinn summer experience was great. I had a lot of fun working hard and playing hard along with the lawyers in the Silicon Valley office. I got substantive work experience, some very good advice, and made friends I look forward to keeping for a long time to come. Everyone I worked with was amazing at giving me assignments that mattered and feedback when I was done. The social events were excellent as well. For a well-rounded summer experience, definitely come to Quinn!
A summer at Quinn is an incredible experience. In my first week, I took on a case in which we were attempting to enforce a foreign judgment in New York. I helped the partner prepare for hearings, participated in strategy sessions, and drafted a motion for a preliminary injunction. For the entire summer, I was treated like an associate, not an intern. I worked on interesting matters and took on responsibilities that summer associates at most other firms would not have the opportunity to take on. I also got to see Kathleen Sullivan argue in the 2nd Circuit against the formidable Paul Clement – two of the most talented appellate lawyers in the nation. The summer was a fantastic learning experience.
Quinn Emanuel has a summer program like no other. Partners and associates gave us substantive and challenging work, and integrated us into their teams. The work was always interesting and the people were smart, thoughtful, and courteous. I was amazed by the amount of responsibility I was given over the course of the summer. I second chaired a deposition, wrote the first draft of a motion, and was the sole representative from QE to prepare our expert witness. Not only was the firm willing to provide all of us with opportunities that no other firm in the world would have provided, but it also took a very real interest in our development as lawyers. Nothing made that clearer than the week-long mock trial program. During the mock trial program we practiced all of the elements of trial, from picking a jury to making a closing argument. On the last day of the program we all tried a case in front of an actual jury. There is no other firm I can think of that would bring in actual jurors for a summer associate mock trial program. But, that is because there is no other firm like QE. They want us all to thrive and are willing to do whatever it takes to help us do so. I had an amazing summer, I cannot wait to return, and I recommend QE for anyone who is interested in litigation and wants to actually litigate.
This summer has been a truly rewarding experience – the work, the people, and the environment Quinn are without rival. From the very first day, I was tasked with drafting a section of a summary judgment brief in a major IP litigation, and the first week I was sitting in on strategy sessions and attending oral argument in a hotly-contested Second Circuit appeal. All of the associates and partners that I worked with were truly brilliant, and at the same time engaging and thoughtful – always available to answer any seemingly mundane question. And the environment at Quinn, where summers are encouraged both to wear flip flops and bring creativity to their work, is simply unparalleled. Definitely an amazing summer!
On my very first day, I conducted research that was sent directly to a client. The rest of the summer was equally exciting. During one week, I attended three depositions. One of my favorite aspects of Quinn is the flexibility and freedom to try different areas of litigation. One day I was working on a copyright dispute and the next day I was doing research for a bankruptcy case. Attorneys are eager to get summer associates involved and to fully explain the background of their cases. I always felt like my work was purposeful. During the week-long mock trial, I drastically improved my oral advocacy skills through the guidance of partners. Everyone here is extremely accomplished, yet laid-back and approachable, which makes for an incredible summer experience.
There is never a dull day as a QE Summer Associate. By the end of day one, I had my first case and was sitting in on a conference call with our adversary. In the following weeks, I attended depositions, took trips to court, and helped draft motions and pleadings. Through research assignments, I discovered my interest in areas of the law that I previously had not considered, such as Soft IP. All that plus sailing, private performances by Broadway stars, trips to Upstate NY and the Hamptons, and many other awesome events. Thanks QE!
Quinn delivered on its promise that Summer Associates would get the most substantive work in the most enjoyable work environment. In terms of assignments, it was the best of both worlds: I had the freedom to select the projects that I was interested in, but Quinn also exposed me to completely new areas of law I didn't know I liked. On several of my projects, it was just a partner, an associate, and me—allowing me to see what it is really like to be an associate at the firm. And the culture was as different from "Big Law" as the dress code. To paraphrase a partner who took me out to lunch, where quirkiness would be a liability at other firms, it is an asset at Quinn. The attorneys at Quinn always made me feel like a welcome and wanted member of a team, whether it was while on a call with a client, cross-examining an associate playing an insurance salesmen at mock trial, or doing my very own rendition of Sinead O'Connor at Karaoke.
I had such a fantastic experience at Quinn this summer. By the second week, I was on a brand new matter. One of the highlights of my summer was watching the entire (very small) case team think through different potential claims and litigation strategies, and then being assigned all of the research related to one of those claims. I got to see my work implemented immediately, and learned so much from listening to others on the team. The other highlight was prepping for and attending an expert deposition, since the (opposing party's) witness ended up being incredibly entertaining.
Quinn Emanuel is a great place to spend the summer. The only downside is how quickly the weeks go by. The time flies because you are constantly doing meaningful, useful, and interesting work. This summer I was able to see an entire trial go from start to finish. I traveled to Florida to second-chair a deposition, worked with the trial team to prepare for trial, and was able to truly share in the feeling of success when we won. I enjoyed hearing the questions that I prepared being asked in depositions and used at trial and seeing my research relied upon by the partner during closing arguments. Realizing that the work that I did this summer really mattered was perhaps the most gratifying part of my time at Quinn.
I enjoyed my summer at Quinn, and I would recommend summering here to anybody who wants to litigate. Quinn provides summer associates with the unique combination of a laid back, friendly office atmosphere and substantial responsibility on high stakes litigations. This summer, I had the opportunity to work on a variety of different types of litigation, and I had the opportunity to work on cases at different stages of litigation. Summer associates also participate in a mock trial program that is exciting and effective. I had fun this summer, and I became a better aspiring lawyer.
At Quinn Emanuel this summer, I experienced trial litigation from day one. I worked in all different practices areas: from IP to white collar to class actions. In my first week, I conducted research for a high-profile criminal case involving white-collar violations. In my third week, I flew to Houston to work with a trial team for a contract arbitration. Partners and associates always made sure that I had interesting work. Quinn also likes to keep its summers busy in the evenings too—my favorite summer outing was skeet-shooting. The firm hike cannot be missed. The summer mock trial program was a dynamic, whirlwind week—we learned the nuts and bolts of trial advocacy, and then got to argue a case and examine witnesses. And the relaxed dress code certainly helped during a humid DC summer.
My summer at Quinn DC exceeded all of my expectations. Aside from working with friendly, smart, and hardworking associates and partners, I was able to work closely on a government contracts case, doing what the associate called the "heavy lifting": researching, drafting, addressing client questions. In addition, I was put on an international arbitration team and worked on the filing, a sleep-deprived but satisfying experience. Finally, I was also able to work on two high-profile pro bono cases. With each of the projects, the associates I worked provided mentorship on the projects. This summer was incredible, and I would recommend Quinn to anyone interested in litigation.
I had an amazing summer at Quinn. I got challenging, substantive assignments, and I learned a lot by being able to do real work. I drafted part of a brief, helped write a complaint, and got to assist at interviews for a white-collar investigation. I loved working with the firm's attorneys and the other summers, and I can't imagine a better firm.
The cliché that you will get substantive experience from day one at Quinn is really true. Within the first two weeks, I was writing motions in limine for an up-coming arbitration. This wasn't busy work or a "make believe" assignment; it was work that was critical to our client's case and that ended up in front of the judge. And I was able to see everything play out when the trial team brought me with them to Houston for the arbitration. This pattern of receiving substantive assignments continued throughout the summer. More than that, though, were the people I worked alongside. Everyone was down-to-earth, hard working, and respectful of my ideas. And we really do get to wear shorts and flip-flops to work.
I had an incredible summer experience at Quinn Emanuel LA. My friends at other firms were envious when I told them that I assisted in a deposition, drafted part of an argument section in a response to a motion for preliminary injunction, attended a summary judgment hearing on behalf of the vice president of an African country and helped prepare our supplemental brief against the government. I worked on cases for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, DIRECTV, and Colgate. Some of the best trial attorneys in the country took a week to teach my summer class how to run a trial and I put on a mock trial in front of a jury of real people. Most importantly, I worked with smart, accomplished and kind attorneys who took the time to provide guidance and substantive evaluations of my work. I'm happy I made the decision to work at Quinn.
My experience at Quinn was better than I could have asked for. I had challenging work including researching issues for motions, preparing slideshows for client presentations, and even wrote the first draft of a brief that was filed to the Ninth Circuit for a pro bono case. If you want to be a trial lawyer, there is no better place to be. I was impressed by the experience of the lawyers that led the mock trial program. I was also able to observe hearings, depositions, and a mediation, many of which were led by very junior associates. Lastly, the summer was fun! The firm hike was one of the most challenging, but rewarding experiences I have ever had. It definitely epitomized the unique and hardworking nature of Quinn lawyers.
I remember researching Quinn during the interview process and thinking that (1) it looked like the perfect firm for me and (2) it was too good to be true. Looking back on the past 11 weeks, I am very happy to say that I was completely right on the first count, and just as wrong on the second. Quinn is a fantastic firm for anyone interested in litigating. The work is interesting, the cases are high-stakes and high-profile, and the attorneys are both toweringly impressive on paper and relatable in real life. Quinn has a reputation for being intense (and it certainly is in terms of everyone's commitment to doing quality work), but I was consistently surprised by how pleasant everyone was. In terms of the summer program itself, I found myself constantly engaged in interesting and rewarding work for big-name clients. In addition to traditional research and writing, I attended a mediation, made a presentation on behalf of Quinn to attorneys from several other firms at a joint defense meeting, and played a substantial role in obtaining immunity for a white collar client. While many of my friends at other firms were assigned "busy work" and artificially constructed summer associate projects, I was doing billable work for real clients. I enjoyed my summer immensely and would definitely recommend Quinn to anyone interested in pursuing a career in litigation.
Over the summer, I participated in everything from depositions to client pitches to elaborate mock trials. I worked under the close supervision of partners and I always felt like a contributing member of the team. At one point, I had the opportunity to help prepare and represent our client in an interview with lawyers and investigators from the Department of Justice. I was the only non-partner on the case and I was thrilled by the responsibility. Above all else, everyone at Quinn was friendly, intelligent and extremely understanding. I could not have asked for a better experience as a summer associate.
Being at Quinn gave me a chance to practice or observe nearly every aspect of litigation -- filing, motion practice, trial, and appeal. I worked on issues and cases covering an endless number of topics – privileges, removal, securities fraud, trade secrets, price-fixing, products liability and corporate governance. I worked directly for partners on nearly every assignment -- and had lunches or dinners with many, if not most, of them. Considering it lasts less than three months, summer at Quinn is about the best experience that a law student can hope for when taking the first steps in their legal career.
When I got an assignment, it wasn't to keep me occupied – it was because it needed to be done. I researched issues from discovery disputes to whether we had any grounds to file a preliminary injunction to stop a high-profile merger. I got to work on a cross-examination outline for an expert witness for trial, work on a motion with an associate in which he solicited and incorporated my thoughts on how to structure the argument, and draft a motion in limine to exclude an opposing expert witness. Quinn Emanuel lawyers are the best in the business, and watching them in their element was a sight to behold: Kathleen Sullivan arguing (and, of course, winning) an appeal and a QE team at a Frye hearing were among the more memorable parts of the summer. The summer was fantastic, and if you're interested in litigation, you'd be crazy to go anywhere else.

100% British Beef: The Reg Park Story
A city in the north of England, famous for Leeds United Football Club, binge drinking and celebrity paedophiles.
However, in the mid-twentieth century, this old industrial town was put on the map for something other than booze, sex crime and a mediocre football team.
It was home to Reg Park – one of the greatest bodybuilding personalities the world has ever seen.
Park was a man who practically defined bodybuilding as we know it today, introducing many facets of the sport which we now take for granted.
His impressive pre-steroid physique, Herculean strength, dedicated work ethic, charismatic personality and incredible achievements, both on and off stage, have inspired generations of young men – most notably Arnold Schwarzenegger himself – to follow in his footsteps and become big ol' hunks of muscle.
What follows is a tale of ambition, conviction, dedication, glamour, obscene amounts of food, and one man's epoch-defining vision.
This is 100% British Beef – The Reg Park Story.
Please note, if you've come to this page via the Google search '100% British Beef', you may be disappointed, as, despite some parallels, this is not a story about cattle meat or gay pornography.
Roy Park (later renamed 'Reg' after his father) was born on June 17, 1928.
He was exposed to weightlifting at an early age, as his father owned a gymnasium and a barbell manufacturing company.
As a young boy, Park excelled in athletics, notching up 10.3 seconds for the 100 yard dash, and football, where he played for Leeds United reserve team.
In 1946, however, he was sidelined by a knee injury.
While recovering, his interest in boydbuilding was piqued by a copy of 'Strength and Health' magazine which contained a picture of American bodybuilder Vic Nicolette in a lat spread pose.
This proved to be a defining moment for Park, and from this point on his mind was made up: whatever it took, he was going to build the best body on planet Earth.
Training begins
Park's early training conditions resembled a scene from the film 'Kes' – a far cry from the roomy, well-equipped, air-conditioned gymnasium's frequented by today's crop of bodybuilders.
He began training in earnest in his parents' back garden using dumbbells, a barbell and a simple chinning bar.
Naturally, training outside in the north of England meant one thing: sub-zero temperatures, pissing rain, and locals constantly fusing their definite articles with preceding nouns.
These austere conditions forced the young Reg to wear military boots and multiple layers of socks and sweaters to get the job done.
Lacking the equipment that nowadays we take for granted, Reg was forced to improvise, using a sand bag, for example, as a makeshift bench to barbell press.
Bodybuilding career
Reg Park's career really began to take off when he won Mr Britain 1949 (he had finished 4th in 1946).
After this energising success, Reg's dream to become to biggest man on the planet brought him to America, where oxen-sized figures such as Steve Reeves and John Grimek dominated the sport of bodybuilding.
It was here that the young man from West Riding Yorkshire met 'Master Blaster' Joe Weider, founder of the IFBB and Mr Olympia, who began featuring him on the cover of his bodybuilding magazine 'Your Physqiue' (later to become 'Muscle and Fitness').
In 1950, at age 22, Reg competed in the NABBA Amateur Mr Universe competition for the first time, coming in second to the inimitable Steve Reeves.
The next year, after a 'murderous' 3-hour-a-day training routine, Park won the competition with considerable ease.
He also went on to win two further Mr Universe titles in 1958 and 1965.
Park became an unstoppable force in the sport throughout the 1960s.
He developed a body the like of which had never been seen before; with its perfect blend of bulging size, sharp definition, symmetry, grace, and cock-sure confidence oozing from every pore, Park had carved a physique that was simply untouchable.
Indeed, standing at 6'2″ and competing between 230-250lbs, he was quite emphatically the biggest bodybuilder of the pre-steroid era.
Muscles were his business, and business was good.
Park was also the first bodybuilder to make the transition onto the silver screen, laying the path for the Hollywood musclemen that would go on to dominate Hollywood in the decades to follow.
Reg starred in five films between 1961 and 1964, four of which were 'Sword and Sandals' epics where he starred as Hercules.
In 1961, he appeared in 'Hercules and the Haunted World', where he starred alongside dirty wizard Christoper Lee.
Although all of these films were undoubtedly shit, without them it is unlikely we would have seen his disciple Schwarzenegger star in absolute classics such as 'Hercules in New York', 'Batman and Robin' and 'Junior'.
On a side note, does anyone else think that Arnie's pregnant gut in 'Junior' is partly responsible for inspiring the ballooning HGH bellies we seen on parade today?
Guys, this is not a good look – you look like a cross between a turtle and a c**t.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Reg Park touched many bodybuilders over the course of his career (figuratively, not sexually, the GymTalk lawyers have advised me to add).
As I've mentioned already, Arnie used Reg Park as a template to shape his own career.
Seeing a picture of Reg on the cover of a bodybuilding magazine, the young Arnold decided that "he was so powerful and rugged-looking that I decided right then and there I wanted to be a bodybuilder, another Reg Park."
Upon meeting his idol in 1968, Park invited Arnold to train with him and live with his family in South Africa.
They developed a strong friendship, and Park became a mentor and father figure to the young Austrian.
This relationship is touched upon in a deleted scene from the film 'Pumping Iron', which you can view below:
It was also Reg who convinced Arnold to pursue an acting career, urging him to star in 'Hercules in New York'.
This was probably not the wisest advice Reg ever gave Arnold.
If you ever catch this film on television, DO NOT watch it, it's one of the worst films ever made.
That's unless you're a homosexual anti-Semite with a penchant for toga-bound Eastern Europeans.
In which case you'll probably have a few minutes of decent wanking material.
Anyway, I digress.
In 1970, Reg, now aged 42, competed against Arnold in the Mr Universe competition.
He was only narrowly beaten by his disciple, losing out to Schwarzenegger by just half a point.
Over the years, Arnie paid many touching tributes to Reg Park, but perhaps none more so than the speech he gave at the 1997 Arnold Classic where he presented his hero with a lifetime achievement award:
Training for strength
Reg Park lived through an era where bodybuilders trained like strength athletes – which meant low reps and bloody heavy weights.
His philosophy – which we firmly adhere to here at GymTalk – was that if you wanted to get big, you needed to get strong, a notion which has been lost in the deluge of chemicals which define the physiques of some modern champions.
As the man himself said:
"I believe that from a bodybuilding point of view only physiques which have been developed by strength principles will bear the true characteristics of a champion physique, these characteristics in my opinion being maximum muscular size with definition and strength in proportion to one's size."
Reg was seriously strong.
He was, for example, the first bodybuilder – and the second person ever – to bench press 500lbs.
Park' strength was, in part, fueled by the now famous 5×5 training programme, of which he was a pioneer.
However, Park's 5×5 workout differed from similar routines today.
His workout was designed not to tax endurance, as the first two sets were warm-up sets at around 50% and 70%, and the rest between the last three sets ranged from three to five minutes in order to ensure full recovery.
He wasn't someone that pissed around with 60 minute workout in order not to sacrifice growth hormones either.
He trained like a pneumatic erection, bulldozing his way through high volume workouts which often lasted up to two to three hours at a time.
If you're interested in replicating Reg Park's workout, you can find more details about his 5×5 programme below:
These days, we are accustomed to bodybuilders fastidiously monitoring their diets.
As such, it might come as a surprise to some that Reg Park literally ate everything and anything.
And I mean everything.
Throughout his career, he shoveled down food like a hippo with the munchies, eating "like a king" 24/7.
His diet, per day, comprised gallons of milk, a dozen eggs, 4kg of steak, cakes, mounds of vegetables, and pints of Guinness.
His 5am morning meal, as recounted nostalgically by Arnold after his death, consisted of cornflakes sprinkled with protein powder.
Family and South Africa
In 1952, Reg Park married Mareon Isaacs, an ex-ballerina, in Johannesburg.
The newlyweds settled in South Africa where Reg, ever the shrewd businessman, went on to establish a chain of successful gymnasiums.
Reg Park died from skin cancer on November 22, 2007 at the age of 79.
Right up until his death, Reg continued to train clients at the Virgin Active Morningside Gym in South Africa.
He left behind two children, daughter Jeunesse, son Jon-Jon (a former Olympic swimmer and owner of Legacy Gym in LA) , and five grandchildren.
What Reg Park achieved, without the use of anabolic steroids, emphatically cements his place in the pantheon of bodybuilding immortals.
He is a testament to what the human physique can achieve without chemical enhancement.
His was a physique borne exclusively out of hard work, not a dependance on drugs.
Ultimately, like many of the greats, Park is someone who transcends his sport: he is not just an example of a great bodybuilder, but a visionary, a trend-setter, a thoroughly decent bloke, and a testament to the tenacity and beauty of the human spirit.

Miley Cyrus Works It Out Amidst Endless Relationship Rumors
Sticking with the black and red theme just as the previous day, Miley Cyrus braved the wet weather for a week-ending workout on Friday (April 13).
Not all that pleased with the paparazzi presence, the "LOL" starlet donned sunglasses and closed her eyes amidst the flashes before hitting the entrance of Winson Pilates for her routine body-toning session.
The outing comes as more relationship rumors ties to Miley keep entering the foray - with very few ending up true.
As for the most recent claim, HollywoodLife tells that Cyrus is "insecure" about her relationship with Liam Hemsworth now that his career has taken off thanks to his role in box office slayer "The Hunger Games".
Their source tells, "I think Miley feels insecure about her relationship with Liam right now. Let's face it, Liam has a lot on his plate right now. His career is blowing up and he has a promising future, thanks to The Hunger Games and some other impressive projects."
"Miley is feeling threatened," their source added, citing the fact that Liam just worked with the beautiful Jennifer Lawrence and will soon be starring alongside Emma Roberts in 'Empire State'. "When she first met Liam, he was not well known at all. I think she is just crying out for attention and she's worried she may lose him."
Enjoy the pictures of Miley Cyrus out for her daily workout at Winsor Pilates (April 13).

North Carolina employees have 180 days to file discrimination complaints with the EEOC. Those who don't meet the deadline lose their rights to sue. But the date that really counts is not the actual termination date if the employer informed the employee earlier that she would lose her job.
That's why it's important for employers to track exactly when and how they tell employees their jobs are being eliminated. The best approach is to document in writing that the employee was told. Better yet, have her sign an acknowledgment.
Recent case: Debra Weston, who is white, worked at Randolph County Community College on an employment-contract basis. She supervised two black employees and complained frequently to her own (white) supervisor that her subordinates weren't doing their jobs. She was told, however, to leave them alone.
A few months before Weston's employment contract was up for renewal, her employer told her that her contract would not be extended and she should look for another job.
Weston waited until she no longer had a job before she filed an EEOC complaint, in which she alleged that she was the victim of reverse discrimination because she was terminated after complaining to her supervisor about her black subordinates' poor work habits.
Although she filed her EEOC complaint within 180 days of her last day at work and the contract expiration date, it was much more than 180 days since she first received the notice. The court tossed out her case, relying on 4th Circuit Court of Appeals cases that state the date of the unequivocal termination notice—not the actual termination date—starts the clock. (Weston v. Randolph County Community College, No. 1:06-CV-00063, MD NC, 2007)

From what i get , mauser designed the
swede rifles and their 6.5x55 cartridge
the first rifles were made in orbandorf
germany. Those crowns are swedish.
I just picked up a well worn m/96. It's a 1900 Mauser Oberndorf with a 4 digit serial number - 2380. If I remember correctly, this is supposedly a replacement receiver for an 1898 dated Carl Gustaf m/96.
Here's what has me confused. Almost all of the parts are Mauser parts, based on the serial number fonts, Mauser crowns and other Mauser markings. The only exceptions are the barrel (matching s/n in Swedish font, crown over S), and the cleaning rod. The stock is German, but also has a crown over S on the wrist.
If this is a replacement receiver, shouldn't all the other parts be Swedish? Was an entire 1898 Gustaf m/96 replaced with a Mauser m/96 that was stamped to match the replaced rifle?

NW Swede : We have learned much since the theory of 1900 Mauser replacement receivers was floating around . Actually , there appears to be 5000 extra Mauser 1900 M-96's made & probably numbered 1 - 5000 . Yours is one of them . The rest of the 1899/1900 Mauser contract falls approximately in the 20xxx to 59xxx serial range . It has a replacement barrel from the Stockholm Army workshop . The cleaning rod should be unnumbered with a Mauser crown .
Actual replacement receivers can have all original parts , except the receiver , or any combination of original & replacement parts .
FIVESHOT : The Swedes & Norwegians combined to developed the 6.5x55 cartridge . Mauser made the first M-94 Swedish Mauser carbines in 1895 , but Carl Gustaf made the first M-96 Swedish Mauser rifles in 1898 .
Thanks Swede! That explains it. The cleaning rod has a CG crown and a non-matching number. This rifle has seen better days, but it's mechanically sound and everything except the barrel appear to be original, German parts. I'm finding lots of different-looking stamps and letters or numbers in places that Swedish parts don't have markings. Pretty cool!
Hmmm... Interesting.
I guess I have one of those also. Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf 1900, s/n 2521. Inspector O.G. No tilted crowns, every number matches except it's a replacement beech stock and handguard, both unnumbered.

Here are some of the interesting markings on this rifle. The firing pin, safety, bolt shroud, and cocking piece all have what looks like a gothic font "M". Also, I found a small "s" stamped in front of the rear sling swivel and a matching one on the bottom of the receiver. I like the stylized font stamps that are found on many of the parts too. I don't know what it all means, but it's interesting to me because I haven't seen these kinds of stamps on Swedish-made m/96 rifles.
Good job on the photos . You are lucky that you have all original parts on a M-96 bolt . Many have been replaced over the last 110 years . You have a RARE example of a Mauser 1900 M-96 rifle . I am surprised the barrel is the only replacement part . Nice addition to your collection .
Thanks Swede! I got this one from an older gentleman who bought several m/96's from an importer back in the 90's. He's selling off what he has left and I got to choose from about 8 different rifles. The low serial number and German markings are what made me pick this one, although there were several in much "nicer" condition. When I bought it there was a fine coating of light rust on most of the exposed metal. Luckily it came off easily with some oiled 0000 steel wool.
Despite being "well worn" this rifle has a lot going for it. It's rifles like this one that shot down our previous theory about replacement receivers on the low number 1900 Oberndorfs.
This rifle has not been rebuilt other than having a barrel replaced. The stock is original and the rest certainly looks untouched by Bubba. It's worth more as it is than if somebody made it more pretty with sandpaper and cold blue.
NWSwede - you're not new to Swedes. This was a good purchase.
Beeker77 - I own 2545. Its a FrankenSwede http://dutchman.rebooty.com/ObieWanFrankenSwede.html .
Thanks for your confirmation about this rifle. I was having second thoughts when I got it home before giving it a good look-over. I have to give credit to the House of Karlina site for the education on German Swedish Mausers.
I own sr #70, all matching & cut down to M 38 length. Original stock.
Does your stock have the " C.1900 " stamped on it ? Look carefully , it may have been filed or sanded off . Could be a tell tail sign it was there .
Late reply. I don't see any sign of a "C.1900" marking on the stock.
The crown marks in the first set of pictures are German Mauser crowns, they have a belly base. The only Swedish crown I see is on the wrist and barrel when the barrel was replaced at the Stockholm facility (crown over s). The other markings are all German. Looks to me like a German made Mauser with a replacement barrel. Very nice rifle! Lucky you...if you want to sell it let me know.
Just found this thread. I have M96 1900 Oberndorf sn 92, in fairly good condition. I'll have to take a better look at this old girl.
Very nice rifle indeed. It will be even better if she still shoots well. You made a great purchase there, the old original rifles are way more interesting then the almost new ones.
Very nice, NW Swede.
Nothing worthwhile ever comes easily.
Here is a picture of two of the four low serialed 1900 Mauser m/96 rifles that I own. These are FSR rifles, with diopter sights. Although both have Mauser made stocks on them, the one at the front has a hole for the stock disk, but the rear one has NO stock disk hole, as they were originally made. The stock disk holes were done in Sweden.
I can make it to the front gate in 3.2 seconds. Can you do it in 3.1?
I am now the proud owner of the two that Buffdog posted above.
I have heard (or read) several conjectures that the FSR will price lower since it is not 'original', and also that they price higher due to accurizing modifications?
I would guess there may be lots of other factors involved, like matching s/n, original maker, front sight, etc. But what is the comparison, in general?
Any thoughts?
Multiple-FSR owner wants to know.

XXXsupra omne, accuratus
@Beeker77 I own two FSR rifles. I paid a little more than the average price for a nice CG m96. Of course one of my FSR rifles is a 1944 Husqvarna m96 with a Hauges diopter. I don't know if you recall...I bought your Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf 1900, s/n 2521.
I am certainly not any expert on this matter. I don't think there is any big premium on these rifles, at least not at present. I don't necessarily follow the herd when it comes to buying rifles for my collection. These two rifles pictured above came from a good friend, so they have a special value attached as far as I am concerned. I think they are a likely a bit of a "sleeper", though. There were only 5000 made, all in the sn range of 5000. I am not sure if they started with #1 or not. The value $ wise will only go up.
I found this post and the Oberndorf 1900 contract a fascinating topic so I went on a multi-year hunt to find an example for the collection. Efforts were finally rewarding in a Sporting Goods store and a rifle leaning in a dark corner. Yes, indeed. It was an Oberndorf 1900 FSR. After a much needed and good cleaning it turned out rather well:
Perhaps typical of these rifles, it has seen some use over the years. It does have much of the original Oberndorf parts, including stocks but the barrel has been replaced with a Stockholm Tygstation along with the trigger mechanism and few other minor parts. No matter, it is correctly numbered throughout. As others that have been documented on this site, it has five proofs on the stock wrist: Oberndorf, (an 'X-ed out mark), and then there are 3 Stockholm S proofs. Overall, I'm quite happy to add it into the 'family'.

You did good . Hard to believe it was laying around a sporting goods store ! Pretty neat rifle & I like it . 3 digit serial numbered Swedish rifles are scarce , if not RARE !!!!!!!! The " C.1900 " stamp on the stock is not common either .
Congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In October 1999, Abdurrahman Wahid, almost blind and recovering from a nearfatal stroke, was elected as Indonesia's fourth president. Referred to as 'Indonesia's surprising new president' by the Economist, the man who had commanded the highest respect of his fellow countrymen for his lifetime devotion to public service, liberal democracy and tolerant Islam, was impeached in humiliating and controversial circumstances less than two years later.
Wise to some, insolent to others, Abdurrahman's mercurial style of leadership constantly confounded critics and ultimately caused him to be widely misunderstood by both domestic and international observers.
For the first time, biographer Greg Barton delves beneath the surface and gives us a unique insight into the man and his world drawn from his long relationship with Gus Dur — including being at his side during the final extraordinary months of the presidency.
Those interested in the drama of modern Indonesian politics will find this book provides a fascinating and invaluable account of the enigmatic Gus Dur

How to Replace the Motor on a Garden Vacuum - Flymo Published 30/03/2011
In this video Rory replaces the motor on a Flymo Gardenvac 1600. The process should be very similar for all models in the Gardenvac range.
View all Flymo Lawnmower Spares
Video Transcript
If your Flymo Garden vac is running intermittently, halfheartedly or if it's not running at all it's almost certain that there is a problem with the motor. Now the good news is that it's really easy to replace, and that's what I'm going to show you how to do in this video.
Safety first, do make sure that your garden vac is unplugged at the wall before you get to work.
I'm going to start off by removing the bag, as well as taking off the shredding line. Now I'm going to remove the handle by unscrewing these end caps, now I can just remove the handle just like that and I can lift the screw out, little bit fiddly but they come away – and I can do the same on this side.
The chassis of the garden vac is in two parts, and they are held together by screws which run along the length of the vacuum. They are deep-set so you will need a long Phillips screwdriver to remove them and then you can just start unscrewing. Once you've got the last screw out the chassis should easily just separate, into two bits.
So this is what the inside of your garden vac looks like. Here we have the motor, it's connected by wires to the switch, and on a spindle on the motor are the impeller fan and the cutting head.
So the first thing I'm going to do is remove the wires from the original motor, but before I do that I'm going to take some photos, just to make sure I wire-in the new motor in exactly the same way as the old motor is wired. Now I can just take the spade clips off the motor.
So here we have the old motor and the new motor, basically we need to get the impeller fan and the cutting head from the old motor and put them on the new motor. So I'm going to need to unscrew them, they are threaded on. To do that I first need to loosen the armature of the motor, I can do that by getting a flat-head screwdriver, and making sure that I have hold of both the motor and the impeller fan at the same time and then I can just loosen it like that. Now if I put my finger onto the armature to make sure I'm holding it, I can then unscrew just like that and there you go, they've come off.
Make sure that you retain the washer from the original motor because the washer doesn't come with the new one, pop that on, then put the impeller fan on, and now making sure that you are holding down again on the back, on the armature, put the cutting head on, there you go, until it stops. Now you can just tighten it up with your screwdriver, making sure you are holding the fan and the motor. There you go, now all I need to do is put the whole thing back together.
Do make sure to consult your photos when wiring up the new motor. Now you can seat it in the chassis, just make sure that it is nice and secure in there.
There you go, that's how you fit the motor on this Flymo Garden vac. Motors for all make and model of garden vacuum are available on the eSpares website.
Thanks for watching.

Zero To Continuous Integration in Three Minutes
A large part of our focus with Pulse revolves around saving time. We started Pulse with the belief that it shouldn't be so hard to set up a continuous integration server, nor should it take so much effort to maintain. With that in mind, I've highlighted the main ways we achieve simplicity and maintainability in Pulse in two new demo videos:
- Getting Started With Pulse: in which I start from scratch, installing Pulse, adding a new project and running a first build in under three minutes. By watching the video, you'll see that it is unabridged, and I did nothing but follow the simple steps laid out in front of me.
- Templated Configuration: in which I demonstrate how Pulse's unique templated configuration system saves you time configuring and (especially) maintaining your continuous integration server. Templates make CI DRY.
We focus on saving time simply because it adds a lot of value to Pulse. Our customers tell us that simplicity, maintainability and dedicated support are the main reasons they chose Pulse to manage their builds. Give it a go yourself: you can get started in no time ;).

Legacy Elem. Will Reduce Overcrowding at Other Schools
A new elementary school opens in Marion County next month, despite a school system budget situation described as dire.
The teaching positions for Legacy Elementary are already included in the regular budget from last year.
Most of the teachers will transfer from two other schools.
Both in which were overpopulated, but that will soon change when Legacy opens its doors.
Seven- year- old Zachary Sullivan is headed to the second grade.
Last year he went to Belleview Santos Elementary, but now he is zoned for the new school called Legacy Elementary.
"I think it's going to be super excited because it's a new school and there's new things," said Zachary.
The school has everything from new classrooms to shiny new desks to the latest technology.
"They'll have smart boards in their classrooms, so the classrooms will all be interactive. Computers for the students," said Dawn Prestipino who is the Prinicpal at Legacy Elementary School.
As well as projectors, laptops and a video room.
The large two story building will impact the students who attend, as well as those who don't.
"It will relieve a lot of over crowding. Specifically at Greenway Elementary and Belleview-Santos Elementary," said Kevin Christian who is the Public Relations Officer with Marion County Public Schools.
In June, 919 students were enrolled at Greenway Elementary and 752 students at Belleview-Santos Elementary.
This school year those numbers are significantly smaller.
Greenway is predicted to have 697 students, Belleview -Santos will have about 515 and Legacy will start with an estimated 573 students.
"We are planning on 26 classroom teachers and then we have our special area teachers like art, music, PE so it will be 30 something teachers here full-time," said Perstipino.
Opening up a new school, does not mean the district will hire a staff of brand new teachers.
Christian said most of the teaching positions already existed at other schools which were overcrowded.
"Those extra teachers were already there. They just transfer here now and the students transfer here as well," said Christian.
Zachary's parents said they were excited to hear their son's first grade teacher is one who will moving to Legacy.
"It will make it a lot easier. They'll be more comfortable and less stressed on the first day of school," said Joe Sullivan.
Christian said the school is already paid for by a half -cent sales tax that was approved back in 2004.
The only additional costs include principal and assistant principal positions, electricity and water.

Embedded in your eye is a body part that until recently, no one knew existed.
A new layer of the human cornea has been discovered by team leader Dr. Harminder Dua from the University of Nottingham. The 15 micron thick area — that's less than half as thick as a human hair — is now being called "Dua's layer."
The microscopic piece of the eye, at the very back of the cornea, is the sixth layer of the cornea to be discovered.
"Having identified this new and distinct layer, deep in the tissue of the cornea, we can now exploit its presence to make operations much safer and simpler for patients," Dua told
Dua explains that the discovery of the new layer is already changing the way researchers think about treating the eye.
"From a clinical perspective, there are many diseases that affect the back of the cornea, which clinicians across the world are already beginning to relate to the presence, absence or tear in this layer. It is an unusual find because it is part of the anatomy and most anatomy has been sorted out long, long ago.
The cornea is essential to protecting the eye from the outside environment, but it must remain smooth and clear for a person to see correctly. The new discovery will help scientists know how to treat patients when something goes wrong with it.
"There's a lot we didn't understand, which all falls into place because of this discovery."
The layer was found using eyes from people who had donated their bodies to science, blowing air into the corneas and then looking at the eye through an electron microscope.

Qatar is among those Arab countries in which the discovery of oil has allowed a small group of Arabs to enjoy the benefits of incredible wealth without having to do much actual physical or mental activity. They handle the mundane tasks of life by bringing in hundreds of thousands from Asian lands who are desperate for any form of pay and will mortgage their bodies, if not their lives in the pursuit of work that allows them to surpass economic standards back home which condemn them to abject poverty for self and family. Since 2012, 380 workers from the land of Nepal and 500 workers from India have died as a result of poor working conditions or being driven to work at a fast pace for hours at end. The Qatar government, under pressure from the UN paid a private company to conduct a study of the lives of those from other lands who work in the country.
There is scant doubt thousands of females have been subject to sexual harassment including rape. If they dare to report such attacks, they are, in effect, purchasing a one way ticket back home. Thousands arrive as contract labor which means they must pay a large part of their salary to those who "sponsored" their trip. And, there are constant reports from servants of working seven days and nights a week for minimal pay.

We lost our precious Jasmine, a miniature pinscher today. She was young...only 8 years old, but had been crippled most of her life. The last couple of years she couldn't walk much except in soft grass, but she was so loving, and enjoyed being carried and cuddled. She was so full of love and kisses.
It was very painful, yet peaceful while we were at the vet...She was all wrapped up in a blanket and I held her as she went to sleep for the last time. I'm so heartbroken to say goodbye to her.

Probably because of places like CA, 10 round maximum.
There are .40 Compacts advertised as having 10-round mags. Yet BerettaUSA.com lists only a 12-round magazine for the PX4 Compact .40. What's used when you want a 10-round magazine? A pinned 12-rounder?
The PX4 Sub-Compact .40 is 7mm shorter in height than the Compact, and the Full is 11mm taller than the Compact, suggesting the Sub-Compact's magazine might possibly serve as the Compact 10-rounder.
I'm surprised Beretta doesn't address this on their site. Or else I'm yet again search-challenged.
Probably because of places like CA, 10 round maximum.
Yes, that's why the .40 10-rounders exist. But is it a Sub-Compact .40 10-rounder with a different base plate, or a pinned 12-rounder, or what?
Beretta doesn't list a 10-round .40 magazine for the Compact, but I've seen listings for .40 Compacts with 10-round magazines. That leads me to believe another magazine from the PX4 family is used as the 10-round .40 unit, but I can't find any reference to it on the Intertubes.
If a reader knows the answer, please tell.

Lee Raney, CEO of christian.com and Randall Knutson join this week's podcast as guests. What the Drupal Community Means to Me Now I just finished watching James Walker's "Why I Hate Drupal" presentation on the flight back from DrupalCon DC. The presentation was a perfect explanation point to the clarity I received about Drupal this week. I have always been a big believer in open source. We built our own distribution of osCommerce. We built many blog sites and a couple of modules with WordPress. We've done the phpBB, phpCollab, Mantis thing also. Before using Drupal we used Silver Stripe, a very well architected CMS and framework. Eventually we switched to Drupal because its coolness trumped them all....Read More

I've been using the E7440 for 6 months. With HD screen and 256 meg SSD (the liteon leaves my previous Samsung 830 behind) it is the best business laptop I've used. The fans very rarely cycle up - it is cool and the battery life is good enough to work away from a plug without worrying.
I waited to upgrade to Haswell as Dell has been insisting on using terrible screens for business laptops for the last few years. A backward step - no idea how people use 1366 x 768 for work/our company is full of them?
You will definitely need the mini port/VGA adapter for presentations - and for me if I undock/dock the USB ports don't always work on the docking station until a reboot, but this seems better after a Bios update?
Even better as I'm in Hong Kong the price was several hundred pounds less - or is that Dell ripping off the UK?
Excellent upgrade from my creaking 5 year old Latitude E6000 series - with 1400x900 screen. Easy to slide into your case - which I keep checking it is in as so light in comparison.
Great business laptop.
A powerful machine with great specs, but 1.6kg, thats not really ultrabook territory now is it?
Spec wise its no different from the sony pro, its also around the same price, and the sony pro is <1kg, which has made it my every day machine, my vaio z12 (2010) seems beastly in comparison, the other aspect is the instant boot.
14 inch screen instead of 13 though, and removable battery, the sony pro has the battery slate, but its not really the same thing.
It made my paws itch and didn't have a cup holder.
The E5440 however is awful, with the fan at 3,000rpm almost constantly and only switching off if you leave it completely idle for 10 minutes.
Apparently this incredibly dumb fan control behaviour is by design, meaning this will be my first and last Dell.
I couldn't get the jack port to work as a line in... any hep is appreciated. When I plug in anything, the pop up allows me to choose speakers, headsets, but not Line in and there is no manual setting either... Windows 7 this machine is... :(

ADA Ferts vs Pfertz vs Dry Ferts
Trying to decide on what ferts to purchase.
ADA Brighty K
ADA Green Brighty Step 1
Pfertz High Tech
NPK + Micros
Dry Ferts from GLA
I need some explanations on pro/cons and why one option might be best.
thanks for looking
I use dry ferts because they are cheap and you can modify your dosage based on your needs. Though they take a bit of work since you need to measure them out or mix them yourself into solutions. I'd probably go pfertz if I didn't have the time to dose dry.
Pfertz had 55% off everything yesterday... really worth it.
Plus I just love the design of the bottles, I'm a sucker for nice package products.
I just took advantage of the Pfertz sale... but bobstropicalplants.com has a sale on the npk csm+b combo pack for dry ferts... i put a good amount of thought into it and I didn't want to have to figure out the dosing for dry and have to deal with a 50% water change every week for EI. I just hope the pfertz works with my laziness in maintenance.
Dry ferts.
Do not pay for water, or shipping water.
Liquid ferts are mostly water with just a little bit of active ingredient.
If you want the bottles, then go ahead and order them. Once. Then get dry ingredients to refill.
The 50% water changes called for in the EI method are not because dry fertilizers are used, but because dosages are intentionally a bit higher than the plants will use, allowing the concentration to build up in the water over time. Whether you use Pfertz, ADA fertilizers, GLA fertilizer chemicals, or Flourish products, you still need the water changes if you dose enough to make sure the plants' growth rates are not reduced by a lack of a nutrient.
I would vote for Dry ferts as well. Definitely most bang for your buck and once you get used to dosing them they aren't anymore hassle. I find them less actually, when compared to having to frequently reorder the bottled liquid products (a couple years worth of dry ferts takes up less space than a month or two of liquid so its easy to keep extra in hand).
Don't get me wrong, ADA is a great company and has some really nice products. Their ferts will definitely grow plants, but there isn't any "magic" compound in there that will guarantee your success.
Pfertz is having 60% off everything before shipping :fish:
Entirely new here but have a low-to-medium light setup. What types and where from do you all get your dry ferts?
Pfertz for a 5g (thinking only Nitrogen, roots and micros) that would last years seems much more convenient than mixing dry ferts.
Dry ferts (from the little i know) always made more sense in my head for larger tanks with high light. But for nano tanks (especially low-to-medium light), Pfertz seems more convenient considering the savings are negligible at the use-rate we're talking about.
Also, in case it was mentioned already, the Pfertz discount is after applying a coupon code.
As for pros and cons its just more work vs. higher price.
I may upgrade my tank to high light + Co2 pending light selection in which case I will likely use dry ferts.
potassium nitrate
potassium phosphate
a trace mix (CSM+B, Iron EDTA, etc)
You can also supplement with things such as calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate and potassium sulfate, depending on your water parameters.
I got my dry fertilizers at a hydroponics store; I believe some users also sell them on these forums (I would as well, but I am in Canada, and shipping across the border is a hassle).
Another option I found was root medic one step.

Durham County (area 376,397 acres (1,523 km2)) is a historic county in Ontario, Canada. It was named from the English County Durham and city of Durham.
Durham County was created in 1792. It was composed of the townships of Cartwright, Manvers, Cavan, Darlington, Clarke and Hope, and portions of what is now Peterborough County, created in 1838. It was united administratively with Northumberland County as the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham from 1850 until Durham County was dissolved on January 1, 1974.
Effective January 1, 1974, about half of Durham County was merged with Ontario County to create the Regional Municipality of Durham. The township of Manvers was transferred to Victoria County, which is now the city of Kawartha Lakes, Cavan was transferred to Peterborough County, where it is now part of Cavan-Monaghan, and Hope was transferred to Northumberland County, where it is now part of the town of Port Hope.
The townships of Darlington and Clarke were amalgamated with the Town of Bowmanville and the Village of Newcastle as the Town of Newcastle, and the township of Cartwright was combined with the Ontario County townships of Scugog and Reach to create a new Township of Scugog. In 1993, Newcastle was renamed Clarington.
Historic townships[edit]
- Cartwright - Area 37,600 acres (152 km2). Located in the northwest portion of Durham County, touching Lake Scugog. The Township was opened in 1816. The name is in honour of Richard Cartwright. Mostly settled between 1850 and 1858 by Irish immigrants. Community centres: Purple Hill, Caesarea, Scugog. This Township is now in Scugog Township
- Cavan - Area 62,296 acres. Settled in 1816. Community centres : Millbrook, Cavan and Carmel. This Township is now in Cavan-Monaghan Township in Peterborough County
- Clarke - Area, 68,500 acres (277 km2). Was opened in 1792 and named in honour of General Alured Clarke. Community centres: Newcastle, Newtonville, Crooked Creek, Morgan's Corners, Orono, Kendall, Leskard. This Township is now in Clarington Municipality
