23:24 (NASB) "Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?" declares the LORD "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" declares the LORD. This is an amazing thought. God fills the heavens AND the earth. That means that, whether we know it or acknowledge it, every day we are "rubbing shoulders" with our Most High God.
23:25 "I have heard these prophets say, 'Listen to the dream I had from God last night.' And then they proceed to tell lies in my name. I have heard people who claim to be prophets say this very thing! And they have prophesied lies. What I don't get is that, even when their prophecies prove false, people keep hanging onto these people in hope and belief! Talk about wanting to choose a lie for the sake of what you WANT to hear!
23:28 "Let these false prophets tell their dreams, but let my true messengers faithfully proclaim my every word. There is a difference between straw and grain! Classic NLT says "there is a difference between wheat and chaff..." I knew that had to be wrong because that is an incorrect interpretation when people try to say that chaff is people. Chaff is the hard outer covering on the wheat that is inedible and must be threshed or "burned" away before the wheat is useful.
24:1-2 I saw two baskets of figs placed in front of the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem. One basket was filled with fresh, ripe figs, while the other was filled with bad figs that were too rotten to eat. Coincidentally, this passage is straight out of the article we have been talking about, "Who is a Jew." It is so awesome to read this and know what it is talking about! A fig tree is the symbol for the nation of Judah. The good figs are the Jews (not Israelites) who submitted themselves to the captivity that God appointed for them as punishment:
24:5-7 "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: The good figs represent the exiles I sent from Judah to the land of the Babylonians. I will watch over and care for them, and I will bring them back here again. I will build them up and not tear them down. I will plant them and not uproot them. I will give them hearts that recognize me as the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me wholeheartedly.
The bad figs are those who did not submit to God's appointed captivity and instead remained in Jerusalem. According to what we read, these are the rebellious and faithless Jews:
24:8-10 "But the bad figs," the Lord said, "represent King Zedekiah of Judah, his officials, all the people left in Jerusalem, and those who live in Egypt. I will treat them like bad figs, too rotten to eat. I will make them an object of horror and a symbol of evil to every nation on earth. They will be disgraced and mocked, taunted and cursed, wherever I scatter them. And I will send war, famine, and disease until they have vanished from the land of Israel, which I gave to them and their ancestors."
This is insightful when you remember that Jesus cursed the fig tree and said it would never bear fruit again. Now what do you think He meant by that?
25:5 Each time the message was this: 'Turn from the evil road you are traveling and from the evil things you are doing. Only then will I let you live in this land that the Lord gave to you and your ancestors forever. In the "Who is a Jew" article, one point Dr. Stephen Jones makes is that God does not approve of or support the evil and unbelief characteristic of Israel today and their trying to take their land by force. In fact, Dr. Jones demonstrates that perhaps it is not the descendants of Judah at all that are trying to take over Israel today, based on historical events. God never condones the use of sin and wickedness, even if one believes they are fighting for His promises (in the flesh). Besides, the Israel of today does not claim Jesus as their King or Messiah, so they cannot be pursuing righteousness anyhow. You will just have to read the articles (posted the last couple days). I am not good at articulating, but Dr. Jones conclusions were eye-opening and surprising...and very biblical!
25:15 "Take from my hand this cup filled to the brim with my anger, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink from it. I have made this observation on the blog before, but it bears repeating. Check out the following verses:
But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" Matt. 20:22
And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will." Matt. 26:39
Jesus took God's cup of wrath for those who would believe at the Cross so that we might drink of God's cup of mercy in the New Covenant.
25:18 I went to Jerusalem and the other towns of Judah, and their kings and officials drank from the cup. From that day until this, they have been a desolate ruin, an object of horror, contempt, and cursing. It appears that that Jerusalem and Judah have been under the judgment of God's wrath and desolation ever since (not His blessing), because of their unbelief and idolatry. Perhaps this is why the land there has been a place of conflict and contention unending since the days of old!
25:28 And if they refuse to accept the cup, tell them, 'The Lord of Heaven's Armies says: You have no choice but to drink from it. The only escape from this cup of wrath is through Jesus!
2 Thessalonians
2:3-4 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. In an article about entitled, "The Rapture in the Light of Tabernacles," by Dr. Stephen Jones, he speaks of a time in history when this very thing was happening (warning: the person who did not like my allusions to the RCC last week WILL find this commentary offensive):
In fact, [Reformers and early Bible scholars] saw that the Roman persecution of dissidents (later called Protestants) throughout the Church Age was the persecution of the saints portrayed in the book of Revelation. It was commonly believed that the Papal system itself was "Antichrist," the "little horn" coming out of the great iron (Roman) beast in Daniel 7:20.
The Roman Church was, of course, stung by this criticism. They could not deny their policy of burning dissidents at the stake, for this was openly discussed even by Roman bishops, cardinals, and the popes themselves. Their self-justification rang hollow when they insisted that dissidents deserved such torture.
Neither could they deny the fact that the Roman Church was an extension of the Roman Empire, for the Church assumed power when the old Roman government fell in 476 A.D. The Protestant reformers were quick to point out the Papal boast of having the power to overrule the precepts of the apostles and of Jesus Christ Himself. (See the quotation from my book, The Seven Churches, chapter 5, under the subheading, "Some 'Infallible' Papal Decrees." It is on pages 51 and 52 of the book.
These papal decrees were a perfect match with what Daniel wrote about the "little horn" in Dan. 7:20, " that horn [governmental power] which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts."
One thing I notice instantly in Thessalonians is the use of the word "temple" as in "he takes his seat in the temple of God." This has always confused me since there obviously isn't a temple today, and it seems like time is winding down. So I looked up this word for "temple" and made what I think is a profound discovery tonight. The word used for "temple" in this passage is the word, "naos."
The word "hieron" is always used in the NT when talking about the building temple, and the word "naos" is used when Jesus is referred to as the temple of God, or when referring to people as the temple of God. In fact, John (in the book of John) switches between hieron and naos when he is speaking of the temple building and Jesus as the temple! Also another interesting point to note is the book of Revelation. We have already covered that Revelation is a symbolic book through and through. Well guess what word Revelation uses for every instance of the word temple? Naos!
What does all this mean? Well, in my opinion, perhaps we have been waiting for a building temple for the antichrist to set himself up in, when all along the Scriptures were indicating that he merely claims to be a temple of God. Astounding!
Also in verse 3 it says that the day of the Lord will not come until the apostasy comes first. Apostasy means "falling away." With all that we've learned about the early Church and the lies that have been promoted throughout the centuries about the character of God and His plan for the ages, I personally would say the apostasy has come! But one sure way to know when Jesus returns to earth will be the RESURRECTION. This is our sure sign! Whether we are partakers of the first resurrection (see below for clarification) or not, we will surely see it happen if we are alive. How sad would it be to miss out!
I have noticed that there are many references to the two resurrections and by careful study, we can piece together what they are. Both resurrections include believers but only one has unbelievers. The first resurrection the "better resurrection" for the faithful overcomers (read Hebrews 11:32-39: "and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection") who will rule and reign with Christ in the MK. The second resurrection is for both unbelievers and (authentic) believers who have not been erased from the book of life or assigned a place with the unfaithful (per Jesus). These believers in the 2nd resurrection will miss the blessing of ruling and reigning with Christ, but they will not go through the judgment/lake of fire.
"Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment (John 5:28-29). You see here that all who are dead come out of their tombs at the same time and either go to judgment or to life—two groups of people in one resurrection. This is the 2nd resurrection! By the way, did you notice that without our "new glasses," this passage makes no sense? It appears to say you are saved by works, but this passage can only be understood when you learn of God's plan for the ages, and that we are saved by grace through faith, but we are accountable for our lives here and could face a judgment unto correction! Salvation is grace; Kingdom is being made worthy through becoming like Christ.
This is the first resurrection ("The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed"). Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years (Rev. 20:5-6). Here there is a distinction--only one group of people in this resurrection--those who are blessed and holy (overcomers) who reign with Christ for a thousand years. No mention of those going to judgment because they are not a part of this resurrection. The resurrection in John of two groups (believers and unbelievers) is mentioned in the next passage:
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. And IF anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Rev. 20:12-15 (selected) This shows that some are sentenced to life, some are sentenced to the lake of fire.
If you have been sitting in church your whole life, you have probably never once heard of two resurrections for believers! Now you have.

The Cabin in the Forest at the Glen Oaks Big Sur
These trees are huge! I've visited these huge redwoods along the coast of California many times, and I don't think I could ever get used to how gigantic they really are. It's almost like an alien planet!
The cabin there is one of the many varied rooms at the Glen Oaks. They are all different, but each one is nicely appointed. I'm recommending this place to my friends who are looking for awesome lodgings in the Big Sur area!

Race Matters: NFL Plans To Begin Penalizing Players For Using The 'N-Word' On The Field
The head of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, which monitors diversity in the NFL, expects the league to institute a rule where players would be penalized 15 yards for using the N-word on the field.
John Wooten, the head of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, anticipates that the NFL's competition committee will enact the rule at the owners' meeting next month.
"We did talk about it, I'm sure that you saw near the end of the year that Fritz Pollard (Alliance) came out very strong with the message that the league needs to do something about the language on the field," said Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome, who is on the league's competition committee. "So we did discuss over the last three days."
Newsome also said the committee talked about other slurs coming under any possible new rule, including homophobic slurs.
Wooten, who previously has urged all players to stop using the N-word, thinks the NFL will rule an automatic 15-yard penalty for first-time offenders and an ejection for second infractions.
"I will be totally shocked if the competition committee does not uphold us on what we're trying to do," Wooten said, according to CBSSports.com. "We want this word to be policed from the parking lot to the equipment room to the locker room.
"I think they're going to do what needs to be done here," he said. "There is too much disrespect in the game."

Facebook have signed up star architect Frank Gehry to fit out its new London offices in Euston, where the social network will rub shoulders with Twitter and Google.
Gehry, famous for designing the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, will design the interiors for Facebook's new 88,000 sq ft offices at 10 Brock Street, as well as the interiors for the social network's new Dublin headquarters.
Called the "most important architect of our age" by Vanity Fair, Gehry is also working on Facebook's new Californian headquarters and recently joined the redevelopment of Battersea Power Station, planning his first ever London building.
Facebook's new offices will occupy three floors of the British Land development, where Twitter, Manchester City and Debenhams have all taken space. The office is also just minutes away from Google's new King's Cross headquarters, development of which was delayed earlier this week.
The office are double the size of Facebook's current Covent Garden base and the social network's European chief Nicola Mendelsohn said the firm would be hiring.
She said: "Our new home will give us the space to double the number of people working at Facebook London and build on what we've achieved there over the past few years, including the only Facebook Engineering Centre in Europe.
"We're really excited to be able to welcome more talent to Facebook London and continue to help us provide the best possible experience for our growing Facebook community."

I was experimenting yesterday with the car warnmed up, the AC off and the temperature and fan speed set to 'max' and had the same results as Razorback, I also closed both the centre dash vents leaving the side dash vents open. I was hoping to force air to the console vents. When I checked there was definitely hot air coming from those rear vents at the same volume and temperature as the side dash vents. The entire car felt confortable. I also observed that varying the centre 'red/blue' thumbwheel had no effect on the air temperature but I am satisfied that my rear passengers, should I have any, would not be freezing like the BoatMan's (even if they did not use the heated rear seats that I have). I also have no doubt that as an executive-driven GT in the Montreal area (and its often-miserable winters), that executive would not settle for rear-seat heating only coming from the floor vents as erroneously stated by BoatMan's dealer.

All Saints
Happy November! We observed All Saints' Day in church today, with a table set up for photos and mementos of loved ones. I'd brought two photos of Dad in a plastic sleeve, and one of our priests prayed with me before the service. After the service, I went around showing the pictures to various friends, since only one person there had actually met Dad while he was alive.
They all listened very patiently to my stories about Dad. They asked questions and told me how handsome he was and said I look like him, and one person said I should write a book about him. I've been told that before, most memorably by the head of a search committee who was far more interested in learning about Dad than in hearing about my fiction, which this professor would have been hiring me to write if I'd gotten the job. For that and other reasons, the suggestion rankles a bit, but I may still do it sometime.
Someone else said kindly, after I'd been rattling on for a while, "How lucky you've been to have a parent who created such good memories."
Earlier in my life -- during the decades when Dad's drinking caused no end of worry and drama -- I felt distant from him, and very resentful. For that and many other reasons, I'm glad he lived long enough for us to develop a close and loving relationship, even if he drove me crazy sometimes. He drove everybody crazy sometimes, but then, so do I.
Another church friend asked this morning, "What of him do you see in yourself?"
"I'm stubborn and argumentative," I said immediately, "and I drive people nuts."
"I thought you were just thorough," said my friend, deadpan.
I laughed. "That's a kind way of putting it!"
(Someone else I know from church informed me several years ago that he could no longer have a close friendship with me because I remind him too much of his mother, who's stubborn and argumentative. I've often wished that his mother could have met my father!)
I'm grateful that Dad passed his sense of wonder on to me, along with his depressive tendencies. And we're both bright -- actually, Dad was brilliant in many ways, and my intelligence is a dim echo of his -- but I get that from my mother, too. I wish I'd inherited a greater percentage of both of their looks, but if I had to choose between that and brains, I'd definitely stick with what I have.
Anyway, my friends at church were very tolerant this morning, since many of them have heard these stories before. I felt a pressing urge to tell them, almost as if it were Dad's funeral. At this point, I don't know when we'll be scattering his ashes. I'd thought that my sister and I would go down to the Gulf this summer, but the other day she pointed out that she can't take any vacations while my mother's living with her. So unless Mom winds up in a nursing home again -- which no one wants -- it feels like we won't have physical closure on Dad until Mom dies. Kinda morbid, but that's the situation.
In the meantime, Dad's hanging out in his little white box on his red bookshelf, all quiet and peaceful-like. Quite a change from when he was alive!

It will likely not surprise anyone to learn that Onkyo's TX-SR707 and TX-NR807 A/V receivers are updates to the TX-SR706 & TX-SR806 but don't dismiss them off-hand because of that. Onkyo claims that both "are indisputably the best specified AV receivers that have ever been available at their price points" and looking at the specs I'm not immediately inclined to disagree.
Both amps are THX Select 2 Plus certified, with all that entails; the SR707 featuring seven 160W outputs and the NR807 upping those to 180W. Both offer six HDMI ports, one of which is front-mounted in the SR707, 1080p up-scaling courtesy the well-respected Faroudja DCDi Cinema video processor and Audyssey DSX decoding has been added on top of Dolby Pro Logic IIz, as offered by the NR807 and SR707's predecessors.
Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD decoding are obviously supported and the amps' HDMI ports are augmented by digital coaxial and digital optical inputs - three of each in fact - for sources unable to output over HDMI, such as the Xbox 360 (as odd as that is).
Additional features of the NR807 over the SR707 include internet-based firmware updates and DLNA 1.5 compatibility, giving access to internet radio services such as Last.fm or vRadio as well as files on a local network.
Available next month the TX-SR707 and TX-NR807 will cost £700 and £800 respectively, which isn't cheap but since when was price a good representation of value?

Nancy Pelosi on Getting the TARP Votes to Save the Economy
Sept. 18, 2008: Paulson meets with members of Congress to discuss TARP
Tell us about the evening Hank Paulson briefed you and others in Congress on the crisis.
I hadn't heard from Paulson in a couple of weeks, and in that time we'd had Lehman, Merrill, and AIG. So I called and asked him to come the next day to meet not just with me but with our House Democratic leadership. When he called back he said, "Madam Speaker, tomorrow morning will be too late." That evening he described the scenario from hell, a meltdown of such seriousness that Chairman Bernanke said, "If we don't act immediately we will not have an economy by Monday."
Now fast-forward to Sept. 29, when the House voted down the first version of TARP.
Quite frankly, that morning I had concerns about bringing up a bill that the votes weren't there for. My impression from President Bush was, "You just bring it up, and they'll vote for it." I'm saying to Barney Frank, "I don't know. I see a lot of people jumping ship over there." But he said, "Oh, you can't not bring it up. If you don't bring it up, that's an even worse message to the markets."
The Dow fell 700 points that day. Were you aware of how the markets were reacting?
There wasn't a TV on the floor of the House, but in the cloakroom you could see what was happening. You could see the votes racking up and then the market go down.
Who was your primary counterpoint?
I dealt completely with the White House on this. They were representing that they had the 100 votes. They got 65. That was really a disappointment. Maybe if they came up with 90, then we could have compensated for that. But 65 was just rejection. You have to give the Republican members credit, though. They don't believe in a public role—the same attitude that got us where we were that day, of lack of interest in supervision, regulation, discipline, a cop on the beat. So it was totally consistent with the Republicans in Congress to say, "We didn't believe in any intervention before. Why would we believe in an intervention now?"
Republicans chided you for making it a partisan issue because of a speech you gave that morning blaming President Bush's economic policies.
I had to rev up my troops. If you look at the statements of the [GOP] members, they said, "Don't insult us. This isn't about her speech. It's about what we believe in."
A modified version of the package passed a few days later. What changed?
They never got their 100. At the end, they had 91, and the total vote was 263. That's still not half of the Republicans voting for it. It was something necessary for our country, but it never was fully understood by their constituents: They saw this as a bailout for Wall Street rather than a rescue of our economy.

I'm not old, honest...
***SOLD** 2007 20 ft custom enclosed trailer **trade for air conditioning*** $4500
2007 Haulin bought new special ordered to my specs. $4500
Rear opening is an extra 1' tall making it 85 1/2" tall by 91" wide. Distance between fenders is 83".
Looking in from the back you can see an overhead shelf I added that sits just in front of the windshield of the jeep. This allow for light weight items such as soft top, bikini top, chairs, etc. On the right I added a hanging rack for ratchet straps and also a couple hooks to carry dune flags. In front of the overhead rack on the right is a hanging rack for broom, shop coat, etc.
Up front is a wood work bench covered with 1/8" stainless steel. This allows a good work bench that doesn't capture grease and oil like a wood bench does and won't rust. A vise is attached on the left and a fold down can rack with dual paper towel dispenser is on the right. Note that I had them mount the electrical outlet at a height for ease of tool plug ins. There is also an extra fluorescent light directly above the work bench. The work bench is clear underneath allowing for a tool box and a roll out storage box. (both negotiable to go with trailer) Above the tool box on the left are a couple racks that hold misc items like chainsaws, coolers, etc. I planned to add a rack across the front but never have.
The side door is 48" wide. I actually ordered it 36" and it came as the standard 48". Rather than reordering, I accepted it. If I were to reorder it again, I would still do the 36" door. Wall space is important. The floor jack is actually held in place by a couple 2x4's screwed to the floor that capture the floor jack wheels. (Not included) When the jeep is loaded, the front bumper stops just short of the handle. You can see how much extra room is there for bicycles, gas cans, etc. This area also doubles as a great changing room after a day of wet muddy wheeling before you climb into your tow rig. You can also see under the spare tire a reddish color mat. This is an oilproof mat that I bought from speedway to keep all mud, oil, etc off of the checkerboard floor. It can be pulled out and hosed off as necessary. The red Craftsman box is not included but is negotiable.
Here is the extended tongue for use with the RV. I also added an ATV tool box to store equalizer hitch components.
No loose items are included with the sale.

I have personally checked this rig out and would be buying it if finances were a little better dialed in. Sure it has a few miles on it, but it is ideal for anyone with a trail rig that needs covered space and small workshop.
Good luck with the sale....well worth the money, wish i had it today!

That does seem expensive. I use Speer GD 124gr +p and I can get a box of 50 for that price. It is a good idea to run more than just a mag or two of your SD ammo for reliability. I usually break a gun in w/ about 250 rounds, 100 of which are SD ammo.
My carry ammo usually gets shot off at least twice a year. Just be careful of set-back if you keep charging the same rounds if you're downloading your mags when you use target ammo.

I ran tests on the Older Cor-Bon 115Gr JHP +P 9MM vs the newer Cor-Bon 115GR DPX All Copper round at my indoor range where the light levels are low. There was considerable white muzzle flash with the JHP compared to the deep red slight flash from the DPX. i shot the rest of the JHP up and bought more of the DPX.

This ballistics test is Corbon 115+P being shot into some chicken! Totally wrecks the insides! Some police depts. carry this ammo swearing that it stops the BG as well as any 40 caliber ammo!

Good idea to use expired chicken. I don't think you can get a live chicken into one of those neat little plastic packages.
at one point, perhaps 12 tears ago, the standard Cor Bon 115 grain +P was one of the top performing SD rounds in 9mm. while there are probably rounds that now out-perform it, it certainly hasn't gotten any worse during that time. it's still my primary carry round in my Sig P-239/9mm.

Back in the day I talked to Pete at Corbon. He called the 115+P 9MM load his bread and butter load. This was their most popular 9MM round. Police and Civilians were buying it like crazy. Evan Marshal also gave it his approval.
this july 4th i shot my corbon powerball +P 9mm through phone books and was AMAZED at how much more the corbon penetrated compared to these cheapo generic MFS 9mm FMJs 115gr i had, which you'd think would penetrate more just by the shape of the bullet and not being set up for hollow point mushrooming, not so... just look at the ballistics and foot pounds... Corbon is pretty much it... wouldn't want hotter if there is much out there hotter and of course make sure your gun can handle +P and is rated for it...your 1400 fps looks good enough, if to be believed as so nice and well rounded a number ;)
Pow'Rball: 100gr 1474fps 483 foot pounds... so it looks like u have something comparable, which is what btw
- so why not have the greater hollow point mushrooming effect of the powerball and at least as good a loader with the FMJ effect of the powerball stuck in the hollow point? - these penetrate better as well compared to the usual hollow points...

Afraid of the Dark LP: A Novel of Suspense (Jack Swyteck) (edition 2011)
by James Grippando
Work details
Afraid of the Dark (Jack Swyteck) by James Grippando
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Jack Swyteck is a character who first appeared in THE PARDON, he was a lawyer defending death row inmates. He is of course still a lawyer defending the underdog and still knocks my socks off! Theo Knight is also back in this book. I love Theo, he is one of my favorite characters. If I could meet a character in real life it would be Theo. I would love to have a drink in his bar. Jack saved Theo from death row and yes he was innocent. He has stood by Jacks side every since. Theo brings humor into the books but he is also a loyal friend.Afraid of the Dark is very much a stand alone novel. You don't need any back stories on the characters to enjoy this. If you've read his other books you will notice the reappearance of some characters and be happy to see them. Kinda like meeting with an old friend who you haven't seen in awhile. Knowing the characters stories and histories is always interesting but definitely not necessary to enjoy this novel.This book is filled with twists and turns. I read it slowly, not because it didn't grab me but because I savor Grippando's books, try to make them last so it doesn't seem like such a long wait for the next one to come out!I had a love/hate relationship with Chuck who is the father of the murdered girl. At times I wanted to cry for him and at other times I felt he knew so much more than he let on. Sgt. Vince Paulo stands out as a character with strength and bravery. Now blind he rarely feels sorry for himself and still manages to live life and help get to the bottom of things. He is a character who I would love to continue meeting in future books.I found the plot amazing. At first I thought "oh no, another terrorist attack book" but it really was so much more. The mystery and suspense is high. The characters are well developed and lovable. I highly doubt you will figure it out before the unbelievable ending.In my opinion Mr. Grippando writes some of the best suspense that you can get your hands on. You will find yourself holding your breath a lot in reading this book. There are not many books that I would want to re-read but anything by this author will be a book to go back to because you will enjoy it even more the second time around.My favorite parts of the book as always are the scenes with Jack and Theo. They are always good for a smile or laugh and are a nice interlude in such a high suspense novel.I can not recommend this book highly enough. Not just this book, any of Mr. Grippando's books. I can't say that I ever read one that was bad. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
Afraid of the Dark by James Grippando is the ninth book in his Jack Swytek series. (and 18th book overall)
Swytek is a criminal defense attorney based in Miami. He is called in by an old friend to help with the defense of a young man who has been in Gitmo for 3 years. His true identity is uncovered - he is not a Somalian, but rather an American named Jamal - a young man wanted in the U.S. for the murder of his girlfriend and the blinding of the cop who tried to save her. But he says he was in a black site camp in the Czech Republic at the time and couldn't have done it. And the US government put him there.
That's the opening salvo - from there the plot grows exponentially, including terrorism both home and abroad, child porn and more. (Some readers may find the graphic violence a bit too much)
I like Swytek as a character and the series has always been a satisfying read. Afraid of the Dark was very, very busy in terms of plot - perhaps a bit too much. Grippando was ambitious with this one - I think Swytek being involved at the international level is a bit of a stretch. But the plot elements are very real and very current. This was a good, thrilling page turner - exactly what I've come to expect from James Grippando. Fans of David Baldacci would enjoy this author.
The full review may be read on my book review blog Rundpinne: http://www.rundpinne.com/2011/03/book-review-afraid-of-the-dark-by-james-grippan...
Article first published as Book Review: Afraid of the Dark by James Grippando on Blogcritics.
Withdrawing as counsel on the case for Jamal Wakefield seems to be the only avenue Jack Swyteck feels comfortable with. His boss Neil is not so sure. Jack does not have all the information, and Neil makes him a deal. They will put Jamal through a lie detector and if Jack still feels the same way then Neil will take the case himself.
Jack's problem with Jamal is the the crime he is being tried for. The accusation consists of him murdering his girlfriend McKenna, the daughter of Chuck Mays. It is during this murder that a friend of both Chuck and Jack is injured. Sergeant Vince Paulo is the officer on the scene, and as he clears the property looking for the murderer, there is an explosion nearly killing him, but taking his eyesight instead. To make matters worse, May's wife disappears a short time later, a possible victim of suicide.
Having recently broken up with McKenna, the evidence is overwhelming. Secure in knowing that Jamal will not be able to pass the test he agrees to go forward. He is therefore unnerved when Jamal not only passes the lie detector test but also has a story to tell. This is a story that will take Jack to on a journey to the back stages of London and bring him into contact with an evil presence calling himself the dark. His presence as Jamal's attorney also puts his wife Andie, an undercover operative for the government in grave danger.
In Afraid of the Dark, James Grippando has characterized an evil both chilling and bold. The Dark is a disturbing and well-named adversary. Jack is a charismatic character full of fun and passion, caring about his friends and family as well as those he represents in the legal system. Every move is leading him in a direction that puts all he holds dear in danger. As death begins to take its toll, Jack digs deeper into the unspoken secret facilities know as black houses only furthering his danger.
Grippando has set the stage on a fast paced, and gripping suspense novel, dealing with national security as well as homeland issues. He has peopled it with characters that are larger than life and quite believable. It is a story of darkness and yet one of discovery as well. The Dark is a great designation for the man with the power, capable and determined to protect his true name at all costs. Yet Jack is a worthy protagonist, even with a small glimmer of information, he takes the stage to bring him down.
I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a rapid paced, suspense-filled thriller. It is full of all the excitement and mayhem necessary in a classic whodunit, but brings in more of the homeland and national security issues common to the day. This would be a great book for your library, one to take and read time and time again. It would also be a good book for a reading club; the information would make great discussion fodder.
This book was received free from the publisher. All opinions are my own based off my reading and understanding of the material.
But a really good read. I hated having to put it down to
participate in my life. This story is loaded with bad guys
and evil deeds. But the good guys are definitely up to the task.
Vince Paulo, his friend Jack Swyteck and others are in it together.
They originally set out to find the murderer of a teenage girl. Their
search leads them into the dark underworld of porn, kidnapping and even
terrorism. Sounds like too much for one book? It did for me too, for
a short time when the terrorism reared its head. This story works, however,
and while it can be disturbing, it is also touching at times.
The author managed to pull all of the relationships together and
make them realistic. One of my favorite moments contained the question
asked by a wife of her husband, wondering where he had been at a certain moment
in time. It made perfect sense for her to wonder, considering the circumstances.
There is nothing worse than a gritty, disturbing story that is nothing but that.
Slasher books are no better than slasher movies. This book has it all. You will
find the characters worth getting to know and the ending full of surprises.
I look forward to the next book in this promising series.

The Department of Justice stepped up its efforts to stop the State of Texas from making it harder for Black and Latino voters to cast ballots on Election Day. The NAACP Legal Defense Fund applauds the Department of Justice's lawsuit. Filed under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the lawsuit challenges a restrictive voter ID law that was previously rejected by a federal court because it was determined to be the most discriminatory ID law the country. The Department of Justice is also asking the Court to require Texas going forward to receive permission from the federal government before it can implement any other voting measures.
Although students could previously vote in-person using their student identification, Texas now prohibits the use of such identification, but it will allow for the use of a concealed handgun license. In a lawsuit concerning the same law, filed in 2012 under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund represented a group of students from historically Black universities Texas Southern and Prairie View A&M. These students, many of whom had previously voted in Texas elections using student IDs, would have been blocked from the polls under the strict law. The Department of Justice, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund's clients, and other intervenors representing voters of color in Texas, won that lawsuit last August, with the Court recognizing that Texas's restrictive photo identification measure would harm minority voters. The Supreme Court's intervening decision concerning Section 5 requires that the law be challenged again, this time under Section 2.
The NAACP Legal Defense Fund will seek to intervene in the lawsuit on behalf of our clients in Texas who know that our democracy is stronger when more, not fewer, citizens participate in the political process. Our clients are Texas League of Young Voters and students from Texas Southern and Prairie View A&M.
Separately, the Department of Justice is seeking to intervene in a lawsuit involving redistricting in Texas.
Texas has a deeply disturbing history of brazenly suppressing the votes and voting strength of Black and Latino voters. The voter ID law in Texas is a solution in search of a problem. A Texas voter is more likely to be struck by lightning than to see someone attempt to vote fraudulently at the polls.
As we approach the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s historic March on Washington, we are reminded that the fight for equal rights is far from history. Every day the struggle continues. The State of Texas would like to take us backwards in time, to a time when people of color did not have an equal voice in our society. Governor Perry, we have a message for you: We won't let that happen on our watch.
Those who care more about suppressing our votes than the guarantees of our Constitution have been emboldened by the Supreme Court's ruling that took Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act out of commission. Not hours after that ruling, Texas's Attorney General declared that the Texas voter ID law would go into effect immediately. Congress must step in to protect voters by fully restoring the Voting Rights Act. We are asking voters to report discriminatory efforts to change voting rules to us by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com [4]

the website for torchmate says you can use it for milling and it's much cheaper than the mills i've seen which run like 10k. It says you can add the z axis but I'm not sure if anyone has any experience with it. does anyone have any mill suggestions?
from the torchmate website:
it is designed to bring CNC Plasma Cutting, CNC Routing, CNC Drilling, CNC Milling and CNC Engraving to you in one tight little package starting at less than $2,000.

The 2x2 can do light aluminum work, it's all about keeping the bit cool. It's a 3 axis cnc mill and if you can design and program 3d work, I don't see any reason why not. Keep in mind if you plan on doing production work to make 10,000 iPhone cases, the 2x2 was not designed to do that, $10k + cnc mills are.

I'm using my torchmate 2x2 as a router only. It's doing some great work in 3d just with the z axis ratio you have to keep your speeds down. I try to keep my cutting feed to about 10 ipm on the z axis because it just doesn't have much down force. This is in wood and plastics. I actually lost a few steps today on a long project. Over 100 deg in the shop on an hr and a half run, not thinking to add a little extra oil on the axis it probably lost 1/32 of an inch. Wasn't an issue with the type of project. I'm going to be trying my hand at milling brass for some trigger guards on my rifle stocks when i get back to them. It's going to be a while, maybe three months or more. I would say for both brass or aluminum, some sort of sprayer for coolant would be a good idea.

Cincinnati Kid ammo, right?
I got some too. I had a blast going through it, figuring out the cool old Russian headstamps.
Here's a good link: http://www.ak-47.net/ammo/headstamps.html
BTW, I picked out about 30 of the ugliest rounds and took them to the range. Bear in mind that these were the worst of the batch. I had four that didn't go off at all, a couple hangfires, and the rest worked great.
Some have a little rust on the cases. Question for the experts: can this rust damage the chamber in any way (SKS chrome chamber)? What about a little rust on the bullet?
I wish I had the money to grab some of the 7.62x45mm ammo he has on the trader right now.

(Nasdaq: PDII), today announced that it is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000 ® Index when Russell Investments reconstitutes its comprehensive set of U.S. and global equity indexes on June 25, 2012 according to a preliminary list of additions posted June 8, 2012 on www.russell.com. Annual reconstitution of Russell's U.S. indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell 3000 ®, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000 ® Index or small-cap Russell 2000 ® Index as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. Russell determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes. The Russell 3000 ® also serves as the U.S. component to the Russell Global Index, which Russell launched in 2007. "We are pleased to join in the Russell 3000 ® Index," stated Nancy Lurker, chief executive officer of PDI, Inc. "This inclusion reflects our commitment to long-term ongoing profitability as we believe our strong core business and solid pipeline will lead to additional key contract wins and renewals. PDI should now benefit from increased investor awareness and visibility as we join the Russell 3000 ® Index."

An Affordable Piano with SuperNATURAL Sounds
Roland built the FP-50 to provide many of the same advantages as the FP-80 in a more portable, affordable package. This digital piano offers you the exquisite feel of Roland's Ivory Feel-G keybed, the projection of a discreetly integrated stereo speaker system, Roland's SuperNATURAL Piano engine, advanced rhythm modes, and hundreds of wonderful sounds.
Roland FP-50 Digital Piano at a Glance:
- SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine delivers an ultra-realistic acoustic piano sound
- Ivory Feel-G keys with Escapement give you a real-piano feel and response
- A built-in speaker system gives you the sound you need, without the extra gear
The FP-50's SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine combines Roland's award-winning V-Piano technology with an extraordinary 88-key stereo multi-sampling core. Through extensively analyzing the sonic characteristics of world-class concert pianos, Roland has painstakingly reproduced the tonal colors and expressiveness of a fine acoustic grand piano. Short of sitting down at a real grand piano, you won't get a more natural sound than what the FP-50 has to offer.Ivory Feel-G keys with Escapement give you a real-piano feel and response
No one knows better than Roland that great sound isn't enough to build an awesome digital piano. That's why they've always been on the cutting edge of keybed design. You'll experience that expertise from the very first time you get your hands on this FP-50. It comes equipped with one of Roland's Ivory Feel-G keybeds; from the lowest bass to the highest treble, each individual key provides the balance, resistance, and response you'd expect if you were seated at a real grand piano.A built-in speaker system gives you the sound you need without the extra gear
You don't need to worry about carting around or hooking up an external sound system when you're playing a Roland FP-50 digital piano. That's because Roland outfitted this instrument with an excellent stereo speaker system. Best of all, these speakers are integrated into the FP-50, so you get all of the sound you need minus any extra bulk.

Bounty, don't use quotes. The last is the best, the rest look like you're trying too hard.
Can anyone show me more of how can i write "B" or other letters?
I like #8 the best. However, I don't really like the name in general. It's long, the "u" doesn't seem to work, the "B" is too outlandish, and the "o" feels like it's taking space. However, if it works for you, it works for you.
The PIFONE is my favorite out of the three. The top one I feel does a good job of depicting your simple work style though. The bottom is just fine, not great, not bad.
Hey, we actually are giving you advice. You're just stubborn. The names you gave us all sucked, so it made sense that we didn't choose a favorite and straight up told you they were bad. Also, the tag you showed us was no good, and I explained why by saying it looked like scribbles and it wasn't legible.

@Moon I know its long and letters do not fit in but i had that nick whole my life and every one here knows me like "Bounty"
@Task977 I will keep that in mind,btw i like that style of yours how could you write "B" with that style? :PPP
Here are some more tags from me..rate it

Thanks,you gave me some new ideas with i will try tomorrow in school
It would look better if you used a marker rather than a crayon... it would show movement
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not you go out and look for a successful personality an duplicate it.
2, 5, 6.
6 Is the slickest, but 2 is simpler to tag with.
Would someone be kind enough to write SeeNo1, trying to see what it would look like in a handstyle

Lee's Summit girls soccer coach Dave Wiebenga had one important message for his team after its season came to an end May 31 - don't let that last game define the season.
"I don't want what happened Saturday to overshadow everything the program accomplished this year," Wiebenga said.
Lee's Summit's season ended with a 5-0 loss at St. Teresa's Academy in a Class 3 quarterfinal game. The nationally ranked Stars will take a 21-0 record into the Class 3 Final Four at Blue Springs, while the Tigers close 15-5-1.
"You don't want your season to end that way," Wiebenga said. "You want to go as far as you can go. We just ran into a great St. Teresa's team."
St. Teresa's took control early with goals from Kate Scofield in the first five minutes and Tess Rellihan about 10 minutes later.
The Tigers had their chances, Wiebenga said, and could have made a game of it had they converted one of two scoring opportunities about 25 minutes into the half.
"We just flashed one by the back post and had another we thought was in," Wiebenga said. "If we could have gotten either one of those we could have gotten it to 2-1 and it might have changed some things."
As it was, St. Teresa's scored two more goals before halftime for a 4-0 lead. The Stars added another goal in the second half, but Wiebenga said the Tigers continued to battle during the last 40 minutes.
"We started to figure out how to create some things in the second half," Wiebenga said. "We were moving the ball well and I thought we showed we could play with them."
Even with the lop-sided loss, Lee's Summit moved a step closer to St. Teresa's level this season. The Tigers, 7-10-1 in 2013, won their first district title since 2009 and made their first quarterfinal appearance since 2001.
Wiebenga believes they can build on that next season.
"For our returning players, this should drive their training and focus going into next season," Wiebenga said. "They know what it feels like to have been there."

You did a good job. Like several of the others said.
Me, I work at night and have to carry my FNP40 on duty. I get kind of worried about my mom being home alone. but she's got my 50lb pit bull to watch out for her until I get home in the morning.

Always go with your gut feeling. Always be alert that it may be in fact a false alarm. Always think before you raise the weapon.
have not posted in awhile, but have acquired 2 more FNP's and 4 more Glocks. i really don't need anymore gun, but they are like Fritos. I know this thread is old but still relevant.. i always answer the door with a gun and if there is a noise outside, or the dogs hear something i don't, i'm condition yellow in a heartbeat.
Love the tag: When seconds count, the police are only minutes away" i have that sticker on the back of the cab of my truck.
Hmmmm maybe it's just me.... but I only see one thing wrong here.... You see in Texas all the way in your lock box is too far = ) haha jk. I do it too, some ass hole decided to throw a firework RIGHT out side of my door (It was just a single bang). So I did what I was trained to do and grabbed my gear and went out the door to look around..... Finally I saw the guy that did it and asked him about it, he said "Oh I was just playing with my fireworks..." I said at 1 am in the morning? You're lucky dude because I was vested up ready for a fight.... he was a bit freaked out. Oh well, I guess it's better to be alert than it is to be dead.

And as I said I DO NOT FEED my dogs plastic. They CHEW ON IT and happen to ingest some now and then I'm sure but it is NOT the intended purpose of the toy. You are telling me your dog has absolutely ZERO toys that are not made out of animal bone?
Last edited by Keechak; 07-23-2012 at 06:06 PM.
I promise its not this huge animal rights crisis that you seem to think it is.
No one is FEEDING their dog plastic. We simply aren't concerned over the tiny pieces that may be ingested from time to time. Funny enough my foster dog just chewed off a decent sized chunk off of one of the nylabones upstairs. Foster dog spit it out, I pick it up and set it aside on the couch next to the cup holder, few minutes later my own dog comes over and grabs it. Before I can get it out of his mouth he swallows it. Even with a larger bit of plastic swallowed I'm not worried, he'll pass it and it won't hurt him.

Years ago, I used to use the fruit Nylabones til one of my then dogs almost choked on a piece. Now, we only use the blue dental ones with the nubs. So far, neither of my two has gotten a piece off

The fact that you're still here saying things like "you still feel the need to feed your dogs inappropriate items" indicates to me that you're not doing so well at accepting that others might disagree with you. I agree with the person who suggested that you start a blog. I would totally read that.
Biscuity goodness, CGC.
We have two of these
Dogs are like potato chips, you can't have just one!
what about antlers? they dont splinter and are softer than a bone. nylabone alternative?
Biscuity goodness, CGC.
Haha Rescued, you post the picture of the one nylabone I've bought that I would NOT recommend. Jubel was popping out those red nubs within minutes of me giving it to him and had it split open down it's side seam in about 30 minutes. He did enjoy it though, as you can see in the picture he wasn't ready to give it up when I took it away.

Well there are many things that dogs should not eat and if I were you I would be talking/preaching to the dogs. I'm just sayin..
Dinosaur Dog Trainer
We have Nylabones in the house that are older than some of you. Eventually, they get shoved under the couch and disappear for an embarrassingly long time. Then we lose the TV remote or somebody's cell phone and, in the course of searching for it, the Nylabone resurfaces and Esther acts like an old friend has returned.
Just to remind you, this is the dog that dispatched a black Kong in 30 seconds. (If I had thought there was any chance of that happening, I would have video-taped it.) I took the pieces back to the pet store the next morning with the receipt, got my money back and bought several Nylabones.
If I noticed more than a little wear-and-tear, I'd replace the culprit. THAT is common sense.
Nylabones do not constitute a significant portion of Esther's diet. She does not EAT them.
Some dogs like Nylabones. Some aren't interested. I've never heard of a dog being injured by one, and that's more than I can say about nearly any other chew-toy.
Last edited by RonE; 07-23-2012 at 07:42 PM.
I will say, my friend's dog chipped a tooth on one of the Durable Dental Dino nylabones and had to have it pulled. There are a few reviews about that on Amazon. These things happen. Still safer than most options.
Biscuity goodness, CGC.
Yeah I think you misread my first post. lol
I've eaten plastic before. I ate a plastic spoon once when I in elementary (no comment) and it passed right through. I would expect any nylabone shards would do the same. At any rate, my dogs don't chew them enough to make more than a few dents in them. They've never broken off a piece at all.

Resident assistants play an essential role in the campus life of the University and UST is casting a wider net as it recruits a new batch of students to assume this leadership role.
The Office of Residence Life is now taking applications for 16 resident assistant positions and 10 sophomore advisors for the 2012-13 school year. And for the first time, the University has opened the process to students currently living off-campus who would like to be part of on-campus life and help new UST students transition into college life.
RA's receive a board scholarship that provides a dorm room and a meal plan. RA's fill a variety of roles ranging from counselor to event programmer to friend to crisis manager, said Yolanda Norman, director of Residence Life.
Applicants should be passionate about servant leadership, committed to their fellow students and conscientious students who can model school/life balance for incoming freshmen.
"They're responsible for growing and developing people, that's a big responsibility," Norman said.
For John Kriescher, who came to UST from San Antonio, friendly, welcoming RA's helped make him feel at home as a freshman in a new city. Now the junior philosophy and English major serves as an RA in Guinan Hall, and he said bonding with the other residents is the best part of the job.
"It's a great way to make new friends while helping newcomers," Kriescher said.
For more information about applying to be an RA or sophomore advisor, contact Residence Life at 713-525-3836 or email@example.com.

A recent New York Times business travel column mentioned problems with
the FAA Web site
(http://www.nytimes.com/2001/01/03/business/03TRAV.html). The article
excellently illustrates the tenuous nature of the customer connection.
The issue revolved around the holiday weekend, when major snowstorms
reeked havoc with airline schedules. The FAA site
(http://www.fly.faa.gov) provides real-time status updates from major
urban airports, indicating if the airport is experiencing any system-
wide delays due to weather or congestion. Unfortunately, when one
traveler tried to access the site over the holidays, someone at the FAA
forgot to update the information. Ouch.
I have always maintained that a Web storefront operator has only to
make one big mistake before losing the customer forever. You get no
second chances with Web shoppers. But why?
Are we all impatient people, with hair-triggers? Is it the increasing
overall level of cynicism in our society? Perhaps, but I think the
reason is a lot simpler. We all expect our computer systems to work
flawlessly, and when they don't, our level of frustration rapidly
reaches the boiling point. Witness many people's comments about Windows
crashes for good examples.
Or better yet, in keeping with the calendar let's recall the famous HAL
9000 computer from Stanley Kubrick's movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey. It
failed big-time, killing all but one of its human crewmembers because
it was given an impossible mission profile. (Well, maybe there were
some other reasons, too.) And the computer, which prided itself on
never making a mistake, became just as frustrated as ordinary humans
when it realized it was making mistakes.
A great commentary on the lessons learned from the movie can be found
here, a recent column by Dan Gillmor of the San Jose Mercury.
But something else is going on here, at a time when a site

Community members are invited to join the build on Dec. 1. About 40 volunteers are needed. To volunteer, email firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are not up for the build, organizers are having a board sale, where a board can be purchased for $10 and a name engraved onto it as a lasting reminder of support and contributions. Proceeds will go to fund the project, as well as towards stewardship costs for the Royal Botanical Gardens.

To purchase your board, visit Bryan Prince Booksellers in Westdale Village, cash and cheque only, or visit the David Braley Athletics Center on the McMaster Campus, 905-525-9140, Ext 24464.

Probabilistic Automated Bidding in Multiple Auctions
Dumas, Marlon, Aldred, Lachlan J., Governatori, Guido, & ter Hofstede, Arthur H.M. (2005) Probabilistic Automated Bidding in Multiple Auctions. Electronic Commerce Research, 5(1), pp. 25-49.
|PDF (377kB)
This paper presents an approach to develop bidding agents that participate in multiple auctions with the goal of obtaining an item with a given probability. The approach consists of a prediction method and a planning algorithm. The prediction method exploits the history of past auctions to compute probability functions capturing the belief that a bid of a given price may win a given auction. The planning algorithm computes a price and a set of compatible auctions, such that by sequentially bidding this price in each of the auctions, the agent can obtain the item with the desired probability. Experiments show that the approach increases the payoff of their users and the welfare of the market.

Stretch marks
What is the best way to prevent stretch marks? I noticed on my sister's belly that she does have a lot of stretch marks after she gave birth. I'd like to know how can I avoid having those marks on my belly after giving birth, since I'm planning to get pregnant soon? Are there better practices that can be applied, or some remedies that can help with that?

2014 K2 Turbo Dream 159
Me: 5'10" 180 LBS, good all mountain rider, beginner park rider. I can carve and ride steep and fast but my knees are getting older so i don't really want to do that type of riding all day. going slower an doing jibs spins and butters is getting more interesting.
K2 Turbo dream 159
Ride RFL boots Size 9.5
K2 IPO large
First ride conditions- night, 36F, corn snow with ice under, fast/no moguls
Flex- medium stiff under and between feet, medium in the tail, medium soft nose. Easy to butter, torsional flex is good enough to be stable.
Stability- Super smooth on edge, no problem carving over and sucking up weird bumps, i never felt like i was being bucked around no matter how fast I went. Flat basing was a little sketchier than normal but never got out of control. Really soaks up up big and small bumps, my other boards you can feel every little thing on the hill, not so here.
Jumps/ollies- very smooth pop on jumps, when the whole board flexes it has snap. not much pop for ollies, you really have to dig to load the tail and even then not much happens. This is probably the only downfall of this board.
Carving/turns- kick turns and skidded turns are very easy, the rocker tips make these type of turns impossible to mess up (good for new riders). Carving is good too, holds the edge up to a point, then lets go smoothly no chatter. You really have to be pushing it, even on ice, to get it to slide out. Good energy from the board through the turn, not spectacular but good. Rides switch just fine, no issues there.
No idea how it works in pow yet, i imagine it will be great based on the shape, looks pretty much like my charlie slasher with a longer tail and no taper.
I wanted something to replace my slasher and banana magic, to bring when i can only have one board when there is fresh snow. This might do the trick.
If you see a a lot of fresh snow usually in bounds this should be one to seriously consider. There are a lot of really good boards out right now, this is one of them i think. TheGoodRide.com review of this board is utter bullshit, as are most of their reviews.
Will post updates as more thoughts and riding come.
Thanks for the review. Was at the local shop today and was recommended turbo dream for the "good choice all mountain board"
Seems it wasnt just marketing bullshit. I saw some videos how Turbo Dream goes in pow, but never saw how it carves...
Maybe the Happy Hour would be for me but I really like to butter and nollie and those pointie tips are mindfucking....
I can help Hellt a little:
Unless the deck in question is a rockered park noodle, I don't understand the question "how does it carve?"
The answer in every case is "better than you."
i.e. I was out-adviced from ride berzerker (though it has a micro-camber) by a guy who owns one, because he found its not so nice (lot of work to make curve happen) on groomed slopes. Since Turbo Dream is an all-mountain, I'm interested in opinions on edge control and edge-to-edge switching
Got to ride in some pow today.
The board performed very well, it would only sink if I put full pressure on my front foot. Standing even, it just floats right along. The tail will wash out of you land a drop in the backseat, but thats mostly my issue and not the board.
It ploughs through chunder and tracked out landings no problem. much smoother and easier to ride than my charlie slasher.
I also take back what i said about the board not having pop, it definitely snaps off of jumps and lips and side hits, its just not that instant pop like a board with camber.
yea i have an older model of this deck, pop is a weakness as well as edge hold in my opinion. that said the board has improved my riding immensely and i love it as if it were my baby
