Vacuum Cleaner Belts
Did you know that proper maintenance can extend the life of your vacuum cleaner? One of the most basic maintenance items is belt maintenance. It is crucial part in your cleaning system that connects your motor to the brush roll. To check this, you need to remove the bottom plate and place a finger under the best to feel if it is taut. If you find that it's not, and it is showing signs of wear, it is time to replace it. While it is recommended you change vacuum belts once or twice a year, the frequency will actually depend on how often you use your vacuum cleaner. Frequent use makes it prone to cracks, sagging and other forms of damage. The motor is unable to turn a belt that does not have good traction on the brush roll. As a result, your vacuum does not clean up to its potential.
Looking for belts for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we recommend customers reduce the risk for vacuum repairs in the long-term by regularly checking the internal parts including belt, bag and hose regularly. While our advice represents general care and maintenance, we also stock a wide range of vacuum cleaner accessories including belts for a wide range of cleaners and ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs according to your needs!

Zoeller: My Tiger comment was joke gone awryBy DAVE SKRETTA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | May 24,2013AP PHOTO
Ed Carpenter, right, responds to a question as Fuzzy Zoeller listens during a media interview for the Indianapolis Thursday.INDIANAPOLIS Fuzzy Zoeller says hes paid his dues after his infamous remarks about Tiger Woods ordering fried chicken for the Masters champions dinner, and believes similar comments made by Sergio Garcia will eventually blow over.
Garcia has apologized to Woods after saying at a recent awards dinner in London that he would serve fried chicken if the two rivals had dinner at the U.S. Open. Garcia called it a silly remark, adding that in no way was the comment meant in a racist manner.
Still, the comment brought up the stereotype of simple-minded blacks obsessed with chicken and watermelon a stereotype that dates back more than a century.
It also brought back memories of a similar comment that Zoeller made during the 1997 Masters, when Woods was romping to victory. Himself a former champion, Zoeller said on camera that he hoped Woods wouldnt order fried chicken for the dinner honoring past champions the following year.
Mine was a joke that went bad. What the hell, I paid my dues, Zoeller said at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where his spirits company Fuzzys Ultra Premium Vodka is sponsoring the pole-winning car that will be driven by Ed Carpenter in Sundays race.
While folks still remember his infamous comments, Zoeller said theyre well in the past.
Garcias eventually will be, too.
I dont know. Theyve had feuds before. Its just the way it is. Thats sports, Zoeller said. Theres going to be feuds here this week sometime (at Indianapolis). Someone will get in (a spat) out here. Some youll hear about, some you wont.
Woods and Garcia have had a tumultuous couple of weeks, dating to the third round of The Players Championship, when Garcia implied that Woods purposely stirred up the gallery as the Spaniard was playing a shot. Woods said it was not surprising that Garcia was complaining.
Itll all blow over, Zoeller said. Those boys will be fine.MORE IN Wire SportsFLORHAM PARK, N.J. Calvin Pace cant stand training camp.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Compression Socks in stock than that.View Similar Products
Zensah Reflect Compression Leg Sleeves $0.00
Compression fabrics have become so widespread in endurance sports that the skeptics among us often think of it as a modern day equivalent to snake oil. But, Zensah is here to tell that compression is very real. In fact, its Reflect Compression Leg Sleeves effectively employ gradient compression in order to improve the flow of oxygenated blood to your lower legs. This helps to reduce both fatigue and recovery time. And since most of us spend our time training in the real world, these leg sleeves are built out of reflective materials. So, you're able to add a touch of safety out there on the road.
Zensah's compression leg sleeves operate on the principle of gradient compression. In essence, gradient compression means that these leg sleeves are tighter at the bottom, and gradually become less constrictive as they approach the top. But, the reason for this may not be immediately apparent. Basically, by applying the greatest pressure at the areas farthest from the heart, a compression piece increases arterial pressure. If that doesn't sound like a good thing, don't worry, because not only is increased arterial pressure at the extremities desirable, it's also essential to experiencing the full benefit of compression clothing.
It works much like a garden hose. If you kink the hose, it allows pressure to build, and when the kink is released, that water flows much faster. Arterial pressure works on the same principle. By increasing pressure on the arteries at your extremities, these compression leg sleeves force your body to pump blood back to your heart at a faster rate, which allows for a greater quantity of freshly oxygenated blood to enter your legs. And receiving oxygenated blood is at the core of the benefits recognized through compression clothing. More oxygen to your muscles equates to a reduction of fatigue and improved recovery time. So, you're able to get more from your workout.
And, in addition to the aforementioned, Zensah recommends these sleeves for anyone that frequently experiences shin splints or targeted calf cramping.
The Zensah Reflect Compression Leg Sleeves are available in the sizes X-Small/Small, Small/Medium, and Large/X-Large and in the colors Black, Neon Orange, Neon Yellow, Neon Green, and Neon Pink. Please note: these leg sleeves are sold as a pair.

Ikea teases cardboard digital camera
The Swedish furniture maker that mastered budget home products turns its eye toward a cardboard shooter. The company probably does have a lot of boxes to recycle.
Forget smartphones, tablets, and digital cameras. What about capturing that special moment with a cardboard cam from Ikea? Bonus: Looks like there's no assembly required.
Last week, Ikea included a cardboard camera in press kits for those attending the Fuorisalone design expo in Milan. The "disposable" device shoots 40 pictures, uses two AA batteries, and features a thin built-in USB port.
Gizmodo Italy reports that the cheap camera will soon go up for sale, but doesn't have information on a worldwide release (we assume it won't only be available in Strand East , Ikea's upcoming London neighborhood).
A trailer floating around from last month, courtesy of Ikea UK, offers some amusing details about the cardboard shooter.

Aaron Bady reviews David Graeber's Debt: The First 5,000 Years to great effect.
By contrast, Graeber argues that purely monetary debts – such as the $14k I owe in student debts to a variety of banks – legitimize violence and exploitation precisely because they take an otherwise irreducibly complex human relation and reductively simplify it into a number. When you quantify a debt with financial precision – and especially when you invest paying it off with profound moral gravity, making it a fundamental moral imperative – you take what was a human relationship of mutual imbrication and co-implication into a financial one based on a kind of moral dominance, and thereby subject the indebted party to the mechanisms of financial debt collection instead of the precepts of human morality. If my relationship to my parents was a financial one, then I could pay it off and be done with them (or they could forgive the debt and be done with me). Or (and here is where it gets interesting), they could present me with a bill, demand that I pay it, and throw me in jail if I failed to do so.It's a great, long review, and you should read it.
I've yet to read Graeber's book, but if anything Bady's review doesn't go quite far enough. The neoliberal project has embraced the commodification of literally all human interaction. Creatures of Washington are now pretty blase and upfront about this sort of thing. "Markets in everything." "Think like an economist." It's worth saying, though, that for years conservative types used to deny that they really wanted this, and they'd wank around with talk about the family and the ineffable quality of connecting with Pastor Jim out by the mailbox, and taking old Rusty out to the creek to shoot varmints. I don't think they actually cared about that shit, and I don't think they particularly cared if people knew, but they at least wanted to keep up the pretense. The modern neoliberal is a purer breed, and has that whole "social justice" plausible deniability thing going down.
Bady makes a little hash with the self-evidently absurd notion that we might someday expect our children to pay us back for the cost of their childhood. The thing to understand, as Bady certainly does, is that the self-evident absurdity of such a situation in no way makes it unlikely. After all, I could carve out a living for myself just writing the same identical "marriage-- it's, like, for money, man" article that you've read fifteen times in the last six months, just rotating between the venues that get all breathless and horny for that stuff. (I fully expect The Atlantic to come out with its new cover story "Ladies: Doin' it for the Cash" any day now.) There's usually a little foreplay before they come right out with it-- an evo psych backrub, a little fake feminist reach around-- but in the end it comes down to the claim that people just get married for security and wealth and status, expressed in that self-assured voice stupid people get when they finish a crossword.
Part of the point here is that they don't have to exactly convince everyone, they just have to get the idea out there. When, for example, a neoliberal insists that you simply must kill your dog for a certain amount of money, and if you say otherwise you're probably a liar, the point isn't to make everybody agree. It's just to stretch the bounds of the discourse, until someday (I'm thinking next week) we're getting a bloggy circle jerk asking "child indebtedness to parents: is it really that crazy?" The insistence on commodification is even more explicit: " of course... the implication is that the majority of pet owners are experiencing huge psychic returns that we're not picking up on in conventional economic statistic." Of course, the only way to understand the decision to kill a living being to which you have an immense personal and emotional connection is economic. It is not merely that the neoliberal doesn't agree with a different perspective. There can be no other understanding.
Ultimately, the point of all of this is that contemporary capitalism has traded the vast improvements to worker safety, power, rights, and benefits for growth. By insisting that all human behavior is merely and only a matter of currency exchange, the terrible aspects of this bargain are ignored. (A bargain made, not incidentally, by people other than the workers who are living with its consequences, and defended by writers and pundits who have nothing personally to fear.) Sure, a factory worker in Indonesia might work in squalor for 14 hours a day, with less than 30 minutes of combined break time, threatened constantly by unsafe working conditions, totally unrepresented and totally without power or redress of grievances, constantly at risk of sexual exploitation and physical abuse-- but she's getting paid, and we can put her wages on a graph, and that's growth. And no other considerations matter. To point out the inherent cruelty and human cost of this bargain is to remove oneself from the discourse of the serious.
Talking to a neoliberal about workers and our moral duty to workers is like talking to a tailor about your lover or best friend. You want to talk about her intelligence, her depth, her character, and he keeps interrupting and telling you she's a size six. When you tell him you want to talk about some other quality, he just keeps angrily pushing his tape measure into your hands. The next time a neoliberal asks you to define your "policy position," head for the hills. It just means "let me dictate a completely arbitrary range of shitty choices to you."
Bady's post also considers the question of possibility, and the fact that an enormous amount of the effort of neoliberalism goes into pretending that there are no other options, that this is The Way, and that moving forward simply does not entail asking questions about where we want to go, as we just have to follow the path. Constitutionally, I'm a pessimist, so I will leave the forward-thinking to Bady's piece. I will just say again that history is filled with people who assumed that they had reached the end of history, that their way was The Way, and that they had found the natural organization of human society. And they always end up wrong.
Update: I kept writing Brady, but it's Bady. Fixed.

12 great inaugural quotes
Many inaugural speeches have stood the test of time, becoming immortalized in the country's history. As President Obama prepares yet another speech for Monday, here's a look at some of the most memorable lines from past speeches:
"[O]ur time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions — that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America." –Barack Obama, First Inaugura lAddress, Jan. 20, 2009(Photo: Reuters)

Sir Joseph Bogle
We saw it last off-season with Ilya Kovalchuk. We're seeing this off-season with Steven Stamkos.
So which unrestricted/restricted free agent's gonna hit the market next summer and cause another enormous, dramatic splash that we all wish would just....go....away?
Joe Bogle and I took a gander on CapGeek.com at some of the UFA/RFA's in 2012. Considering some of their egos, their accomplishments, hype and/or age, we've come up with a possible Top 5 Candidates who the NHL nation won't shut the hell up about come mid-June next calander year.
Now, it's not always the player's fault. Sometimes he truly deserves a significant pay raise but his employer simply cannot afford to sign the check.
Other times it's difficult not to blame the player. Like in Kovalchuk's case the summer of 2010; Everyone I know just wanted to waltz up to the 27 year old Russian and deck him so hard over the mouth that Joseph Stalin's femur bone would break in his grave.
But then you've got these young, douchey looking defensemen who no one likes. Not even his own hometown fans. Of course by "douchey looking" I mean....

I think Jacare would win a rematch against Rockhold.
Rockhold might get a shot after two more wins. I don't think he beats Weidman though.

I think Rockhold takes the rematch but he would only be a slight favorite. I would to see them fight again.
"If a man with no arms and a man with no legs started learning karate, the same light bulb would appear over every head in Japan. Thats right: Glue them together and see if it can kill a panda."
agree 100% Sniggles, Weidman does not get past Machida, bad match up for Chris

Bow down before me as you will surely fall if you challenge me
A few jumping on the Jacare hype train considering his win streak is mostly mid tier guys at best outside of Okami not sure why we think he's evolved to be so much better then he was 2 years ago and would beat Rockhold now.
Nothing Jacare is doing now suggest his fight a rematch out any differently against Rockhold.
He's wearin' 44.5Lbs of gold and Machida has to get to Weidman, not the other way around.
I dont see Machida completely running over Mousassi either.
Hate on the Champ all you want but make no mistake he is the champ!
Welcome to Sunnyvale.
No, wait..Fuck you!
I think ppv sales are down because there are so many of them.
Goodbye Mr. Burton
All in the reflexes
Anderson Silva 5: TRT USERS 0 Hendo - Forrest - Nate - Chael... twice
I can't see Rockhold getting out of the first round. He didn't just get caught by Vitor, he was out classed from the start. I love Moose and Machida so I hate that fight. I think Moose takes a decision, but both will lose to Weidman. He's got a complete and still evolving skill set that's complimented by his size and strength. He's a very lethal fighter. He didn't get past Silva due to eroded skills. He is just better.

If I were a Bulls fan, I'd be calling for Derrick Rose to see if he can just tough it out. I mean come on, Dejuan Blair: 0 ACLs, D. Rose: 1 ACL.

The second pick on LeBron came from the grassy knoll, there was definitely a second picker
vegas absolutely loves the SA-Miami matchup in the finals, huge favorites to win their conference.
The Atlanta-Boston game had enough bricks to air on the Home & Garden Network. Not a thing of beauty, for sure. And Rondo bumping a ref inside the last minute...well, we'll see what comes of that little move.
3 yawners today so far but I think the Clips-Grizz will be a good one
Impressive quarter by Memphis. Defense was solid. And the Clippers looked lost.
damn, Clips were down 26 in this game and now up 1 with 23 seconds left!
Holy $#@!....clips end the game on a 28-3 run? How does that happen to anyone? Memphis should forfeit.
I'm stunned at the Memphis-LAC reversal. Nobody loses a lead that big. Will be interesting to see what that does to the series, but Memphis has to be in shock right now.
Morale busting. Memphis started making offseason plans as soon as they got to the locker room.
Rondo suspended for one game. Hawks have no excuse for not winning game 2 imo. They've been starting off so damn hot in many of the first half of many recent games only to choke them away. They about did that last night.
so many key injuries and suspensions
Celts - Ray Allen (when is he returning?); Rondo
Clips - Billups and now Caron Butler
Lakers - Artest
Bulls - DRose of course
Knicks - Linn
Magic - Howard
MIAMI – Amar'e Stoudemire cut his left hand while punching a fire extinguisher case in the locker room after the New York Knicks' loss to the Miami Heat Monday night, sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Paramedics and the Knicks' and Heat's team doctors were immediately called to the locker room. Blood was visible on the carpet when the locker-room doors opened for reporters. Stoudemire received stitches and eventually left the arena with his left hand bandaged and his arm in a sling.
The Knicks said Stoudemire's status for Thursday's Game 3 is unknown.
Not that anyone here gives a $#@!, but the Hawks are without their two starting centers and are having to rely on Jason Collins.
Can't wait for the Amare "pounding the glass" headlines tomorrow. What a $#@!ing idiot.
I knew Amare was an idiot when he got a Black Jesus tat on his neck. This is just icing on the cake.
The Eastern Conference playoff games is some very bad basketball and unwatchable at times.
None of these first round series are intriguing except OKC/Dallas and LA/Memphis. The rest are really yawners so far.
All you need to know about the Hawks is that they were at home, against a mediocre Celtics team missing Rondo, and squandered a fat lead to lose going away. That's not championship material right there.
Have you guys ever seen Paul Pierce's arms?
They look like the arms of a white 50 yr old IT guy.
Somebody should revoke his Black card
36 points and 14 rebounds from paul pierce tonight. baller.
Lakers are rolling bitches.
Bynum does look pretty much unstoppable at times tonight.
barkley picked denver to win the series, dude has a knack, but I just can't go there
if you are a thunder/mavs fan, is it better just to root for a lakers sweep so that artest will miss games 1 and 2 of the semifinals?
The conspiracy is so deep it goes both ways as to not arouse suspicion.and now here come the ticky-tack calls against the Nuggets.
how is this a 4 point game??
Chris Paul has taken over the title of best flopper in the NBA.
Freaking Memphis fans. The BEAT LA chant is reserved for when you play the varsity team that wears Purple and Gold, not the red-headed stepchild you choked against in Game 1.
How sick is $#@! Stockton? He's barely able to do this broadcast from what I'm hearing. He hasn't gotten excited one time. He's usually pretty vocal from start to finish on big plays. I actually like the guy so I hope he just has a bad cold.
How the hell do you shoot 57% from the field and 56% from 3 and lose by ~double digits?
And holy hell, I have never seen so many blowouts in a playoffs. Yeah some here and there but now they are happening quite frequently (maybe it's just me?) but I guess it comes with the territory of what this season was. Some of these games are not even watchable it's so bad.
I think part of the reason for the blowouts is we have some teams who really aren't committed to even being in the playoffs. Their front offices seem to be torn between the plus of "getting playoff experience" vs. the minus of not being in the lottery. Defending champ Dallas isn't a typical 7 seed and is playing tough; No. 8 Utah is almost shocked to be in the playoffs and is just along for the ride. I think we see the same thing with a well-coached Philly squad and the freak-show Knicks, respectively, in the East.
Meanwhile, here in Atlanta there's no groundswell of support for the Hawks, because few basketball fans here actually grew up in the area. Their core favorite teams play elsewhere, whether it's Chicago, New York or Boston. Folks in this area are happy for the Hawks to have success, as long as it doesn't come at the expense of the team they grew up cheering for. Team ownership, meanwhile, seems content with fielding a team competitive enough to sell some tickets but not good enough to truly compete. And there's no outcry from local fans or media to do better. So you get a muddling franchise that from time to time looks like a "winner" but in reality is a pretender. No shock they laid an egg in Game 2 against an undermanned Celtics team that has a championship pedigree and pride.
wade and lebron in the open court are $#@!ing beautiful to watch.
this knicks/heat game is horrible. first to 65 wins

Bisping should be No. 8 or 9 at best. He is a good fighter but not a Top 5 at all.
Another very good fight would be Machida vs Jacare.
And as for his talk about willing to fight Anderson for the belt, first of all let's see if Silva can win back the belt.
Secondly I think that Machida realized that has to do what the UFC wants if he wants to wear gold again. He (very rightfully) declined to fight Jones in short notice and since then, he has not be even close to getting a title shot.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Talk is cheap.
Lyoto Machida sees clear path to UFC's middleweight title
"I want to go down in history and make a name for myself in the UFC," Machida told USA TODAY Sports. "I want to do what these guys did because it would be a very rare thing that very few guys have done."
Belfort (23-10 MMA, 12-6 UFC) meets Dan Henderson (29-10 MMA, 6-4 UFC) in the featured contest of Saturday's fight card, which airs on FOX Sports 1 (8 p.m. ET). While the bout is being contested at 205 pounds, UFC President Dana White confirmed an impressive performance from Belfort could earn him the title shot for which he's recently lobbied.
But should Henderson prove victorious, as he did when the pair first met in 2006, UFC officials will be looking for another title contender to emerge and face the winner of December's UFC 168 headliner between current champion Chris Weidman (10-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) and the man he beat for the title, Anderson Silva (33-5 MMA, 16-1 UFC).
Should Machida prove victorious in his Feb. 8 fight with Gegard Mousasi (34-3-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) – and should Belfort lose his spot in line on Saturday night – Machida is confident he'll be worthy of a shot at the belt, even if it's wrapped around the waist of longtime friend Silva.
"We don't know if Anderson is going to keep fighting," Machida said. "He's been a champion for so long, for so many years. He said it himself: 'If I have to fight with Lyoto, I'd rather give up the belt because I've been a champion for so long.'"
And so Machida's path to the title and UFC history are quite clear. He just needs a little help along the way. He'll be cageside on Saturday night to see if the first hurdle will be cleared. Either way, he likes his chances of getting to the top of the UFC's middleweight division.
"Switching divisions, making this whole new change, was like a new chapter in my career," the 35-year-old said. "This is a new moment for me. "
Lyoto Machida: Silva would forego title claim for me
Since dropping to the middleweight division, people have asked Lyoto Machida about a potential fight with friend and training partner Anderson Silva. Machida has been adamant in his position that neither would want a fight or participate in one. Machida has even said recently that Silva would step aside for him to have a title shot:
However, Machida believes that Silva, who's already posted a UFC record 10 consecutive title defenses, may not be so interested in another championship reign as he is in super fights in and out of his usual weight class. That means if Machida and Silva eventually appear on a collision course, the fight could still be avoided.
"I always say Anderson is on another level," Machida said. "He was the champion for about six or seven years. We even talked about it. He said he already was the champ for a long time, that he wants to remain in the promotion and have super fights. And in case we have to fight, he said he'd even forgo any claim to the belt so I could have my shot."

Not much difference. My Romanian Weiger type mags are .975 wide & the 7.62 x 39's are just a tad over an inch.
Not much difference. My Romanian Weiger type mags are .975 wide & the 7.62 x 39's are just a tad over an inch.
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
I'm going to press and pin the barrel. I have one of the virgin Yugo trunnions, which should make it easy.
If I was having to start with a threaded trunnion I'd probably bore it smooth and pin it.
Timing the gas ports on a threaded setup isn't all that bad - just torque the barrel in place a few times to make sure the threads are all mated up, put a witness mark on, and then line up on that - but press and pin is way easier. It's one of the things I expressly like about the AK.
Using a pressed trunnion that already has a pin hole makes things a lot harder. The most reasonable solution for that is to thread the trunnion. wttool.com has the proper tap for $30-ish, which is amazingly cheap, but tapping hard steel like a trunnion can be iffy. If you cut internal threads on the lathe, you might want to press a sacrificial pin in first, bore it flush with the ID, and then thread across is. The threading tool will tend to deflect going across the interruption of the empty pin slot, which can cause troubles, particularly with a light duty lathe like mine.
Hmm... looking at my Yugo trunnion while I'm typing this, I just had another idea. Back in the main AK section I posted some pictures of stamped Valmets; one of them used a rivet instead of a plain barrel pin, since the Valmet's upswept receiver front is missing the place where the lower rivet would go. So they made the barrel pin take the place of the lower rivet.
It looks like there's room to open up the lower-front rivet hole in the Yugo trunnion. You'd have to offset it up a bit. For a garage shop, you could carefully egg the hole up with a carbide burr in a Dremel until it intersects the barrel, then make the hole round with a drill and reamer.
Again, while drilling and reaming, a piece of scrap steel or old barrel stub pressed into the trunnion would help a lot. Ideally the hardness should be the same as the trunnion to keep the bits from wandering, but even softer metal would be better than nothing.
Then just rivet the front of the trunnion as usual.
The .223 mag from Apex showed up today.
Well, well, well, my droogies...
The two Beowulf cartridges I have slide neatly in and out under the feed lips. It really needs a slight notch at the front to keep from snagging the case mouth, but so goes the USGI M-16 mag I have.
I hadn't started making the magwell. Now I guess there's no reason to start.
Crazy thing is, the 5.45 magazine isn't even *close*; it requires grinding all over the place to feed a Beowulf. Stand a 5.45 and a 5.56 side by side, and other than the shoulder distance, there's f-all difference between them.
what thread do you plan for the trunion and barrel?? 1-12, 1-16, ?
It's a virgin trunnion, so I'm going to press it together at .002" interference, then drill for a pin.
The bore in my Yugo trunnion is .906, and a 15/16-32 tap has a minor diameter of .907, which is darned near perfect. wttool.com has the tap for $22.
Interesting I have been debating on thread size on the switch barrel build Im pretty sure 1-12 will be fine in a yugo trunion but with the all the voids and hollows of a Rommy I want all the thread engagement I can get. Its not very hard to bore a trunion mine cit really easy. I made a set up guage that chucks into the mill that when it slides up and down in the clamoed in trunion with no interferance its good to bore. I use the same tool to set up for truing the bolt and truing the face.The bore in my Yugo trunnion is .906, and a 15/16-32 tap has a minor diameter of .907, which is darned near perfect. wttool.com has the tap for $22.
So you plan to just drill the barel pin hole higher to allow the pin to clear the chamber ???
No joke, I just had this idea yesturday while reading a shotgun news...and now here is! I had an idea for a 12 gauge AR but there it was already made in there too! Great mnds think alike..and like guns!
Well, come on in, the water's fine!
My build went on the back burner when Beowulf ammunition went away, but I just found out Starline is shipping Beowulf brass again. I need to call Alexander Arms and Impact and check on the status of my orders (which have been back-ordered for a year now), and see if they'll honor the original price. If not, I'll cancel and order directly from Starline.
Was notified today 4/20 brass is in at Midway.
Status: Out of Stock, No Backorder
Date Expected In-Stock: 4/26/2010
I did get 100 starline in Sept. from them.

It seems to me so far that those I've read believing in UR are from different backgrounds, different denominations etc. That basically most of the stuff I've read is written by regular orthodox Christians who only diverge when it comes to the subject of hell.
Cult typically refers to a cohesive social group devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding population considers to be outside the mainstream, with a notably positive or negative popular perception.

Samsung mocks Apple iPhone users in Galaxy S II commercial
Interesting new ad/tactic from Samsung, painting those devoted Apple users who line up from the iPhone 4S as fanboy hipster sheep whose faces are stuck to the blogs -- reading about battery life issues and lack of design changes -- until a giant-screened, 4G powered, Galaxy S II tears them away.
Also interesting that Samsung only focuses on the size of the screen and speed of the radio -- and not at all about the Android operating system that runs it.
Make anyone want to dump their new iPhone for a Galaxy S II?

Samsung mocks Apple iPhone users in Galaxy S II commercial
Funny how other phone vendors mock the company that basically invented the phone design we know today, and invented what their product is based off of. If Apple didn't exist, the majority of the world would probably still be using plastic-keyed flip phones.
I love how everyone goes to they copied the design, they don't show android etc instead of commenting on the facts mentioned in the ad. Besides apple didn't invent the smartphone and also didn't invent the slate based touchscreen so stop using that as your only argument against technologically better devices.
haha so many iphone users here sound like they took this ad as a stab at their own persona. kinda funny actually. its just a phone... i have an EVO 3D and you can talk all the crap on it you like, but i like it. i like the iphone too. its a classy piece of kit. however, there are certain things the iphone cant do for me so i am sticking with Android. (i like having 4 different keyboard options, 4g, free usb tethering for instance).
i used my friend's iphone 4S, the UI can be laggy sometimes. Also my dad has a iphone 4. after upgrading to IO5 his phone was glitchy when using bluetooth. overall im sure it less buggy than Android though. however, i bet a vanilla version of ISC 4.0 will give IOS a run for its money in stability.
Sure, on the MAYBE 2 phones that will get a vanilla version not destroyed by their carrier. Sure, until their manufacturer stops supporting their phone with updates in 9 mos...leaving their phone volnerable to future flash viruses, os crashes, app crashes. I sold my first android 3.2 tablet after 3 weeks, b/c it was a waste of good hardware. The ICS reviews I've read left me thinking it would not have made a difference. Webos was better if not for the lack of apps
yeah i was a pre - user for 2 years. that thing was awesome once it was all patched up and overclocked. im using Sense 3.0 now and the interface is awesome, i like it a whole lot. it def has its issues, but nothing that would make me want to switch away... after having IOS first (ipod touch right when it came out) then getting and palm pre and then getting an EVO 3D, i have to say it would be difficult going back to having IOS as my phone OS. i really don't like using that big a$$ button, keyboard frustrates me and i love having a 4.3 inch screen... i miss WebOS though. i was dead set on getting a pre 3. but, we know how that turned out...
Sure she is...
Regardless of the iPhone 4S having the same form factor as the iPhone 4, people know I am using the latest model when I thank my phone and it responds...
"Just doing my job" :)
No not at all, the comment was just a bit of fun.
Samshit is pathetic...
Well thats what samsung is. They just steal designs and mock other people.
You have seen "Pirates of Silicon Valley" right?
When I look at this Nexus thing, an episode of Shrek is coming to mind when He and the Donkey were looking at the giant castle of the short prince: "Is he compensating for something?" ;)
So, no matter how big you are, you still have an ugly OS, Sammy! Instead of injecting steroids into the hardware, hire some people with imagination to improve the software.
320ppi wins, IPS has real colors not oversaturated and eyes hurting sharp contrast!
Making Apple look stupid is one thing but making Apple users look stupid is just stupid. Do they really think that Apple users will switch to the company that ridicules them?
You would have to be a pretty big idiot to sit around talking to the stupid.
stupid in general no... stupid about mobile tech, YES!... dude i was at a party 2 weeks ago. i pull out my phone (EVO 3D) cuz i got a text and someone there who was an iphone user sees and and says to me, "my phone sh*ts on yours" outta nowhere! he had a 3g S! i am like you have nooo idea what u are taking about bro. that phone came out 2 years b4 mine did. he had no reasoning AT ALL except for that fact his phone with an iphone for telling me that. after a 1 minute demonstration i had him walking away with his tail between his legs
Pretty sure they don't care about the iPhone user base. They're targeting the "dumbphone" users, which at this point is larger than iPhone and Android market share combined.

People know the quality of samsung phones and the quality of android apps.
They also know the quality of iPhone,iOS,app store....
That is why they stand in the line for long hours to get the new iPhone...
But Apple showed us how the smart phone is to be in the present world....later every fucker copied it shameless idiots
So am I supposed to want that phone because its bigger and easier to buy? I'm not having any battery issues and if I want a big screen I have an iPad! Time will tell which phone will be more successful.
I thought it was clever and funny. Take something silly about the competition (or it's users), blow it a bit out of proportion and use that to drive home a point about your product being better. Many iPhone users DO stand in line for hours (sometimes days) waiting for a new iPhone. Many of them DO look silly and there really isn't much sensible logic to the whole mess. It's not true for every single case, but it's real enough to be recognized by most people watching the commercial.
It's very similar to the "I'm a Mac. I'm a PC." commercials. Many PCs DO have security issues. Many PC users ARE frustrated with the PC experience. It's not true for every case but real enough for the commercial to have an effect. I thought those commercials were clever and funny as well.
If this were an Apple commercial people here would be celebrating its genius while the folks at AndroidCentral would be up in arms. Fans are like that.
...anyway...great commercial.
Honestly, I've seen one in person and was not "amazed" or fascinated not one bit. Why? It was running Gingerbread and all you have to do is wait for the eventual lag to come, and believe me, it will. So it has a bigger screen and battery sucking 4G. I've got unlimited data on 3G and that fills my needs just fine. Not only does my iPhone 4S not lag, I wouldn't even know how many applications are running at the same time if I didn't check. No lag. No battery life problem, it just works. Screw Samsung. Screw Android. When was the last time you saw anyone standing in line to buy anything from Samsung, or anyone else, for that matter? There's a reason for that. :-)
I got one thing to say... Apple, it just works! I have friends that bought the Samsun and it was one complaint after another. They went on to the NEW iPhone 4s and are happier than ever with the fact that it JUST WORKS! My battery life is great as well. From 5am to 11pm I'm at 28 to 30 percent at the end of the day. I think thats great.
It truly shows Samsung copies what Apple does and has no innovation of their own. That's why they continue to take Apple to court because they accuse Apple of copying their products, and they try so hard but loses in court. Why buy something from Samsung when you can get the real thing from Apple.
Doesn't anyone know that Apple has copied just as mush from other companies. Look at Xerox, Apple should have lost that lawsuit. Apple has copied / stolen just as much as any other company. The difference between Apple and any other tech firm is that people believe Apple's corporate propaganda.
hahaha, that made me laugh!
pretty good advert but i'll stick to my white iPhone 4s thank you very much, ha
and what's with everyone wanting such a big screen? it looks like an absolute brick!
I am all Apple, and am fine with the 'roast', I represent a lot of it. I also believe in God, which is also easy to mock. Guess you gotta believe passionately in something, or what's the point...
I rarely read every comment but these were as laughable as this commercial. Great way to start my day. :-)
I thought the commercial was a good depiction of the iphone craze, which is what they targeted...not the users themselves, done in a very funny way.
No, it won't make you switch but it may make someone change their holiday choice.
Samsung only proved that their customers are lonely outcasts and misfits with no friends.
They wrap their children's gifts in newspaper, place them inside white sweat socks hung from the fireplace, and tell them "it's kinda like an iPhone" when they see their sad, little, disappointed faces.
Wow. That's a lot of bologna there sir. :)
Haha...true, true. :-)

Hahaha! I liked the ad. But to be fair, I bought a 27inch iMac right when the 4S came out. I walked out of the Apple store, past the long 4S line yelling, "Siri, show me the weather" into my iMac box (while holding it to my head) just to freak them out.
But then again, I already had the 4S mailed to me painlessly from ATT.
If you buy your phones for status (like the ad suggests), then yes- a Galaxy SII may be just the accessory you need.
Too bad the Galaxy is actual a pile
i am sry but your logic is weak. why should they not be compared? car companies compare to their competition in their commercials allll theee time. when you go to a store to buy a phone you go there to make comparisons between the phones that are there. why cant Sammy do it in their commercial.? i thought this was an awesome ad. i laughed. the acting was natural and situation was real.
Logic??? Are you comparing marketing advertisements between $600-$700 mobile phones to $20,000-$30,000 vehicles? Get real, when have you seen a line at the Ford or BMW dealer to buy a car? The only time I saw a line at dealer was in the comedy movie "The Goods". That's a desperate move from Sammy, the iPhone family is taking money from their "hardware" market so they will try anything to gain that market back. This tactic will hurt Sammy and I guarantee it wont last long on the air.
True. I think that's the second definition of "fanboy" in Webster. :)
I don't get why people get so worked up over this stuff. Who made this first and who made that first... What matters in the end is what works best for you. I had a palm pre... I went to an HTC Evo... and now I have an iPhone 4S. They all have things I like and things I don't. Everyone is different and likes different things. Just be happy with your purchase and stuff like this wouldn't even matter.
I have used iPhone and Android for several years and both are great for their own reason.
They are both buggy at some point, they both copied from each other (sorry iFans, this is true even in iOS5).
Apple's approach is by limiting and controlling everything that may not run 100%, which then makes their phone look like an "it just works" phone.
Android's approach is by being more open which makes it a lot more appealing to geeks. This allows for more freedom with apps and therefore sometimes more bugs. Plus if developers are not careful, their apps may not work in all phones.
They are both good but different.
If you like your phone to say hi to you and to be the latest fashion accessory then get a white iPhone.... and then a double decaf latte to wait 9 days outside the Apple Store
If you want your phone to say: I have a higher IQ than Einstein, my message was received at the International Space Station and I don't have a girlfriend, then get an Android.
For the rest of us, we have a choice... we can just select the one that fits our needs.
What I find extremely amusing is how some people defend Apple religiously in a cult-like way.
Its a phone! From a company that wants your money. Same as any other company.
Bravo. lol
Who says I'm a hater? I suggested the iPhone 4S to my mom (on AT&T w/ a feature phone). I bought my wife an iPad, son has a XOOM, daughter a Nook Color, and me a Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Find one comment where I am "hating" on the iPhone. You won't.
Oh and I started coming around this blog in '08 when I bought my iPhone 3G. Since I left it for Android in '10 does that mean I have to leave the blog?
Thx and yep. A device for everyone and this is not a House of Gates where Apple devices aren't allowed.
Rarely seen that level of argumentation out here!
Thank you Sir!
No it wasnt sold until 2007 after the iPhone came out. The iPhone was in development log before and launched summer 2007. The leg phone appeared in December 2006 but wasn't ready till late 2007.
No sir. It launched Q1 of '07. iPhone launched Q2 of '07.
They released a gold [color] version in August of '07.
My timeliness is wrong how? The release dates are from Google. Search for yourself.
Start date doesn't matter. Launch date does.
Sure. Ok. :)
I'm sure that's why part of the "Android copied iPhone" argument hinges on Apple launching first even though Android started before iOS. By your logic, that part of the argument is invalid. :-/
Google is your friend...search for yourself.
It's a decent commercial, but I don't think you win Apple customers by insulting them. You insinuate that they're sheepish, and then you want to lead them away to Android (like sheep)? Hmm...
Anyway Android was a little too busy the last time I evaluated one. I just switched from an HP Pre Plus on AT&T to an iPhone 4S so my screen is already bigger. If I need a bigger screen, I use my iPad2. As the iPad 2 is my Apple entry device, I'm cool with Apple. My 4S just makes Apple cooler.iCloud, SIRI, iTunes, App Store, News Stand all come with the 4S. As a sales professional, I appreciate getting the whole package when I buy 1 product.
Haha...good one. :-D
Making fun of the iPhone is one thing but to make fun of the customer although funny is not a smart move
Not sure what Bilboteabagins is talking about... Microsoft's Market cap is currently $144B below Apple's and on the Fortune 500 Apple is ranked 3 spots higher than Microsoft with 3 billion more in annual revenue. Also, from any data that I could find, Apple has more cash on hand than Microsoft. Not sure where the 1000% number is coming from or how Microsoft has benefited in the long run over Apple. By all metrics that I can see Microsoft is doing worse in all areas than Apple.
The comment was only a bit of fun :)
I hardly ever use Siri in public, if ever!
I have the iPhone 4 still, and still don't want to make the switch to the Samsung Galaxy. I'm quite content with the screen size of my phone.
Apple didn't target PC users directly but there is something to be said about seeing your chosen OS made to look like a buffoon. It was an indirect knock on PC users, IMO. At least that's how I felt when I was a PC user [at the time of the first run of commercials; not any longer].
Very true. It does go directly after customers.
All's fair in love and war, as the old saying goes.
Worth a shot, I guess, if Apple can have a 'Get a Mac' campaign., then why can't anyone else?
Not enough to make me consider switching, but I guess, I'm not their target.
Bottom line, is that no-one lines up for a Samsung product, no matter how good it may be, which must piss Samsung off immensely.
Every company would love to have a piece of that emotive mindshare.
This commercial makes the iPhone look like a joke compared with the GSII, and it shows how apple fan-boys are crazy about a "new" iPhone and don't see other new devices that have surpassed the iPhone long ago.
android OEMs cant win for losing at this site lol. when they focus on specs, they're stupid, and when they focus on experience (as above), its "interesting".
I cannot live without IPhone. It totally changed my life. As an international student in the US, FaceTime enables me to see and talk to my parents in China. I can show them how great this country looks. They might not be here with me, but I feel we are still together. Sure there is a front facing camera in some other million android phones, they just don't work very well.
IMessenger let me text my fiancee for free. Sure there are whatsapp or talk box apps out there, even in Android, the loading time is just too long.
Huge screen is certainly a nice thing, but guess what, when I saw my friend made a phone call with his precious Galaxy S, I thought he was holding a tablet. A phone is a phone. If you need a big screen, why not buy a real tablet?
The specs of an android phone is getting ridiculous. But why i can still feel lags when I scroll the contacts on an android phone. It just feels so....mechanical.
Having faith or being loyal to a company is in fact a good thing. There are always something that I can look forward to.
Sorry for my broken English. It is the first time to post here. I just want to say "thank you" to Apple, sincerely.
I appreciate Apple ads because they show you exactly what the device can do. And when you buy it, it actually does that impressive featured function that you saw in the commercial. Android commercials always has some crazy $#!+ going on, like you grab a Galaxy tab then you morph inside some weird spaceship pod to play a video game, or you're in a business meeting and your arms turn into robot arms. They never show off the cool things that an Android can do (Droid has just as many impressive features as Apple). I want to see that the thing can do...not some fantasy stuff. This commercial was very clever and at the same time counter productive. From a marketing stand point, it screams desperation. It's a money ploy...I can see the approval meeting to review this commercial for release...."how do we get rid of those apple waiting lines". I for one like the long apple lines...you meet interesting people (devs, heavy users) that know a lot about apple products that can share tips and experiences. Samsung, show me what you can do and then you might grab my attention.
The S II is not a 'little' faster than the 4s. I am in a Atlanta. I tested the Atrix, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s and the Galaxy S II Skyrocket network speeds.
iPhone 4 on 3g = 2.5 Mbps
iAtrix on HSPA = 6 Mbps
iPhone 4s = 4 Mbs
Galaxy SII Skyrocket (LTE) = 45 Mbps (yes, 45!)
we tested this more than a dozen times in different places. Performance shows it to. For example, you tap the Netflix App and you can have a show running onscreen as quick as you can tap the buttons. Don't tell me you can do this on the iPhone. I've got several and know it's not true.

To The Editor:
Still in the spirit of Thanksgiving – gratitude and congratulations must go out to Harwood Union for attaining the EPA's Energy Star certification.
This accomplishment is an inspiring example of a win-win-win situation. A big win for the school financially and comfort-wise, an educational win for the students who were able to strategize solutions and learn about stewardship and a cumulative win for the environment – something we hold very dear here in The Valley and Vermont!
Special thanks should go to Ray Daigle, director of facilities and operations, and the staff, faculty and administration for having the vision and commitment to embark on what must have seemed a daunting task some four years ago. Now that the project has been brought to fruition, we can all be proud of what has been accomplished on many levels. The icing on the cake in this undertaking was the students' participation and involvement which empowered them to see that they can make a difference.
Harwood's achievement and the end results are a perfect example of what needs to happen all across the state and country to continue moving us away from fossil fuels and towards cleaner, greener energy efficiency and conservation.
We look forward to more great results from Project Green School, the initiative that seeks to put all Vermont schools on a path toward energy conservation and efficiency. We encourage these good practices to expand into other town buildings – municipal, commercial and residential.
Thank you, Harwood Union, for showing us how it's done!
Warren Energy Committee: Callie Willis, Dotty Kyle, Wendy Cox, Eric Brattstrom and Bob Baron

This super simple bacon-egg-cheddar frittata with potato crust makes the most mouthwatering breakfast! Slide a cup of coffee and a stack of buttery toast alongside, and you've made my morning.
I hope you're ready, because I've got a knee slapper for 'ya… Ready, ready? Ok, here goes.
Why can't you tease egg whites?
Because they can't take a yolk!
Har har.
That may have been a cheesy joke, but it's not nearly as cheesy as this delicious Bacon Potato Frittata! Chock full of hearty bacon, melted cheddar and crisp hash browns, this is one breakfast that has been a big hit with hungry boys, overnight guests, and especially our little twosome. We can't get enough of it!
I love frittatas, since you can mix just about anything into them and you're guaranteed a delicious, energizing morning meal. Chop up tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, or any other veggie and toss 'em in for a tasty twist. They add a nice pop of color but are so covered with ooey-gooey cheesiness that you won't even realize you're getting a serving of vegetables! Muahaha.
Served with a dollop of sour cream or a spoonful of salsa, this fabulous frittata from Amanda's Cookin' makes a mouthwatering breakfast, lunch or even dinner. For side ideas, try a stack of buttery hot toast or simple spinach salad.
Cook it up for yourself (and some hungry guests) sometime and you'll see that this ridiculously delicious, easy frittata will become a staple in your recipe book!

Cheesy Bacon Potato Frittata
Yield: Serves 6
4 slices bacon
2 cups (8 oz.) frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
6 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 bunch green onions, chopped
Sour cream, optional
Fry bacon in a 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until crisp, 6-8 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside on a paper towel lined cutting board. If needed, scrape brown bits from pan with a metal spatula. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the drippings and coat bottom of pan. Add potatoes to skillet; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Preheat broiler.
Beat eggs in a medium bowl. Stir in milk, salt and 1 cup of cheese. (You can also add in any small-diced vegetables you like). Add egg mixture to skillet; stir to combine. Cover; simmer until eggs are set on the bottom, 6 to 8 minutes. (Center will be wet.)
Uncover; top with reserved half of the bacon, remaining cheese, then the rest of the bacon. Transfer skillet to broiler; broil 5 to 6 inches from heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until eggs are set and cheese is melted. Garnish with chopped green onions.
Cut into 6 wedges and serve with sour cream, if desired.

Cakespy: Doughnut Soup
This creamy, dreamy dish is the ultimate in doughnut decadence. It starts by caramelizing glazed doughnuts in a buttery bath, then mixing it with milk and heating the mixture until the flavors merge beautifully in a hot, sweet, very creamy broth. It's my easy-to-prepare take on a dessert served at Chicago's MOTO, a restaurant revered in the world of molecular gastronomy. More

You're not alone. To try and put things into a nutshell:
- With elements of play like the new spirit-to-hit conversion and new talents and abilities, some casters are reporting greatly inflated DPS.
- Meanwhile, with the loss of stats like armor penetration and tinkering with buffs like Windfury, melee DPS of all stripes are reporting DPS losses. Some classes are reporting as much as a 50 to 60 percent drop. Some of this is probably due to suboptimal gem or gearing options. ArP's switching to crit like it did basically loaded up a lot of people with far more crit than they needed, as one example.
- Healing is in a weird place. Resto druids miss their forms, and across the board, heals are reported to be slightly less efficient -- but since no one's leveling past 80 yet, rating decay isn't crippling anyone.
- Tanks are reporting significant issues in trying to tank the current content with the new systems. AoE threat is greatly reduced for just about everyone, and learning new mechanics is causing some difficulty. For instance, if you spam Heroic Strike as a warrior tank now, you're doing it wrong. Armor has decreased in many cases, the loss of defense has cost tanks who relied on that stat some pure avoidance, and in general, the greatly inflated DPS of some casters has made keeping threat off of them extremely brutal.
This is it! Patch 4.0.1 begins the slide into December's upcoming expansion. It's a whole new game from here on out. Get oriented with our roundup of everything there is to know about patch 4.0.1 and how it changes the game until the launch of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Biological Diversity Class Goes CanoeingPosted Sep. 12, 2013
Kent State University at Geauga Students are learning about wetland ecology right in their own backyard. The Biological Diversity class with Professor Jodi Naji took a field trip to Burton Wetland's Lake Kelso to study the biological diversity of a bog environment. Senior Naturalist, Dan Best, from the Geauga Park District talked to the students about the glacial geology of the lake and the plant and animal life of the area. The class then boarded canoes to view lake life up close while the naturalist pointed out a variety of species both in the water and on the shore.
Student, Elizabeth Robinson said, "Mitch Myers. the academic lab coordinator for the campus, set this lab up months ago and it was a huge success. Lake Kelso, a natural "kettle" bog, afforded us with a lot to explore and opportunities to learn through such an environment! It was a lot of fun and well worth the trip to Burton Wetlands."
Students from Dr. Naji's Biological Diversity Class who enjoyed the outing include: Gabriell Benitez-Lee, Allison Bloom, Jennifer Brown, David Burton, Seth Chan, Ashley Claypool, Eric Dayila, Colin Gower, Sarah Mas, Caraline Nelson, Elizabeth Robinson and Faith Walton.

Castaway Skeleton Crankbait Casting Rods - $169.99 to $179.99
Castaway decided on the name Skeleton for the Castaway Skeleton Crankbait Casting Rods because of the rod series' split grip design, which Castaway developed to cut away every gram of excess weight without affecting the rods' performance or action. Castaway actually went as far as to further modify the rod's handle design in order to utilize less cork and reduce glue. All this in an effort to further limit weight and increase sensitivity.
Each Castaway Skeleton Crankbait Casting Rod also features a patent-pending, super-exposed reel seat, putting you in contact with more of the rod blank and allowing you to feel every bump and tick of your line. Spanning the Skeleton's exclusive multi-modulus graphite (or composite) blank, the premium Alconite Guide System increases castability and reduces friction, while also delivering the strength and durability to help tame hard fighting fish. Make now bones about it, the Castaway Skeleton Crankbait Casting Rods deliver key innovations that yield excellent lightweight performance for a variety of bass fishing techniques.
Backed by 5-year Limited Warranty
Rod Handle Length:
Tackle Warehouse measures its rod handle lengths from the butt of the rod to the top of the foregrip. [ Diagram ]

More Castaway Casting Rods
Delivering custom-level performance and a classic look, the Castaway Invicta HG 40 Casting Rods are the same rods Elite Series pro's, Russ Lane and Todd Faircloth, use on tour.
Designed specifically for cranking applications, Castaway cut away every ounce of excess weight to make the Skeleton Crankbait Casting Rods the some of the lightest cranking rods on the market.
Every gram of excess weight was removed from the Castaway Skeleton Series Casting Rods - leaving only lightweight performance, sensitivity and durability.
Customer Reviews Back to Top
Comments: Decent rod, not the lightest or most sensitive but plenty of backbone. I purchased it to handle medium to deep divers, should handle that no problem, very comparable to mojo bass rod but lighter. If you want light, get a carrot stix, GL2 or Helium.
