Re: Please Rate This Review: L.A. Noire
Hey Decabo, a couple more things:
You've got a typo in the 6th paragraph-I think you meant to say "least interesting
to talk about".
Don't use bolding for emphasis in a review-use italics.
In the 9th paragraph, take out the "so I guess" portion of the sentence about why you wanted more distractions. You're trying to be definitive about how you feel, so uncertainty isn't something you want to communicate.
ALso in the 9th paragraph, be a little bit more specific about your point on the story's dramatic weight. For example, instead of " and that's the dramatic weight the story it provides", say something like "the story was so dramatically heavy I
a distraction". Try to be as blunt about your points so the reader understands you as quickly as possible.
You're very close Decabo. Just a few more tweaks and I think this will be ready.

Mission Planner
Planning a space mission during the hectic days of Apollo was like having a few thousand world-renowned chefs in the same kitchen. They all packed an ego and their own ideas about how things should be done, and they weren't shy about expressing them.
Rodney Rose, a native of Huntington, England who had been on NASA's wish list since his days of designing aircraft for the British government, specialized in the capsule's ejection system and parachutes during the Gemini program. He heard the constant bickering back and forth among contractors, engineers, scientists, and medical experts. They argued over everything from electronic configurations to what, and how often, astronauts should eat in space. Rose pled his cases with the best of them.
In 1964, as Gemini was about to begin and Apollo loomed on the far horizon, he approached Chris Kraft, director of Flight Operations. "I told him we needed to get everyone on the same sheet of music, as if we were playing a concert," Rose says, his British accent holding strong after forty-six years in Texas. "Everyone was going off every which way, and Chris and I were pretty much on the same wavelength. He put me in charge of these "Flight Operations Panel" meetings and said, 'Do the job and I'll back you.' Pretty soon people found out that's exactly how it was; they didn't buck me too much because they knew Chris would come down on them."
Rose's formal title became Technical Assistant, Assistant Director of Flight Operations. Basically, he was a mission planner who made sure flights maximized every precious second in space without overloading

A shot in veteran filmmaker Jon Else's documentary "Wonders Are Many" -- a behind the scenes look at composer John Adams and director-librettist Peter Sellars' opera Doctor Atomic -- makes visual reference to Picasso's "Guernica" as apt shorthand for art's awesome charge to speak for the voiceless in the age of total war and total exploitation. For an opera about the Manhattan Project and the birth of the atomic age, the Picasso quote is fitting enough. But Else's documentary, which screens this year as part of the 50th San Francisco International Film Festival, not only broaches pressing questions about art's role in a time of threat and crisis; its very appearance here helps highlight the place of film festivals themselves as forums for political debate and discourse.
It's a function that film festivals have arguably always had, including North America's oldest, but this year Sellars, the outspoken artistic director and multimedia maverick, truly embodied the role. His indefatigable pass through the festival began Saturday with a Q&A at a screening of "Wonders," followed by his introducing two powerful films in the festival (Mahamat-Saleh Haroun's "Daratt" and Garin Nugroho's "Opera Jawa"), which he commissioned as director of the New Crowned Hope festival (Vienna's 250th birthday celebration of Mozart). It ended roughly 18 hours later with his delivering of SFIFF's annual "State of Cinema" address before a large SFIFF audience.
Just as tireless, renowned actor and activist Danny Glover, accompanied African director Abderrahmane Sissako's "Bamako" to the festival. Glover co-executive produced the film, a brilliantly sly channeling of the global dialogue on "development" as orchestrated by Western institutions like the World Bank and the IMF. Set in a poor neighborhood of Mali's capital, "Bamako," in the very courtyard in which the filmmaker grew up, the film deploys actors, real-life representatives of African civil society, and government officials to debate the system and the status quo from both sides of the equation. With an effortless and offbeat sense of humor, including a wacky film-within-the-film sequence in which both Glover and Palestinian filmmaker Elia Suleiman ("Divine Intervention") make cameo appearances as cowboys stalking the desert plains of "Timbuktu," Bamako manages to get across a complex but vital picture of the relationship between Western capital and governments, their allies and proxies in local government, and the increasingly impoverished and desperate populations of the Global South. Glover was on hand to make the most of the film's potential, introducing the film at a press conference Saturday preceding the screening, and returning afterward as part of a panel discussion packed beyond capacity at Sundance Cinemas Kabuki.
That panel, "Picturing Development," also included Priority Africa Network's Nunu Kidane and Global Exchange's Walter Turner, who together with Glover broadened the discussion to include, among much else, the role of cinema in facilitating a global dialogue on the effects of so-called development in the Global South. It's a discussion that opens up basic concepts like "aid" and "structural adjustment" to social, historical, and moral scrutiny. These issues, the panelists made clear, are hardly abstract or far removed from life in the United States. Moreover, given the disproportionate role of the U.S. in the current system, drawing more Americans into that global dialogue is crucial. As Kidane succinctly put it during more than an hour of conversation, "We need to change here for change to happen there."
More than a few other features in this year's lineup add to the chorus of otherwise marginalized voices that give such festivals as SFIFF unique importance as a locus for challenging dominant and homogenizing commercial media images, voices that make cinema, in Sellars words, "the greatest art form at present for penetrating deeply across cultures." Horace Ahmad Shansab's 2006 feature "Zolykha's Secret," for instance, follows an Afghani family coping with life under the extremely repressive rule of the Taliban. Marion Hansel's quietly involving "Sounds of Sand" follows an East African family forced, when their well runs dry, into itinerancy through a landscape of unremitting desert and social turmoil. And Egyptian director Marwan Hamed's "The Yacoubian Building," billed as the biggest-budgeted film in Egyptian history (which is saying something), is a politically pointed melodrama that follows the overlapping fates of various occupants of a single Cairo apartment complex.
Of nonfiction and documentary, that traditional bastion of activist filmmaking, several are worth mentioning in a political context. Echoing both Sellars' flagging of genetically modified foods as a crucial battleground of the new century, and his conviction that the cinema of the 21st century must be one of hope, Lynn Hershman Leeson's "Strange Culture" looks at the ongoing case of American conceptual artist and bio-activist Steve Kurtz (played in recreations by actor Thomas Jay Ryan). In an astutely self-conscious layering of various "representations" by government, media, and filmmaker alike, the film (which also features actress Tilda Swinton, who delivered last year's SFIFF "State of Cinema" address) docu-dramatizes a group of artist-academics standing up to the provocations of a national security state bent on justifying expansion of its powers at the expense of dissident voices and, ultimately, individual rights and freedoms generally.
"Everything's Cool," from directors Daniel B. Gold and Judith Helfand, notably uses humor in its tackling of issues surrounding the earth's warming, underscoring the way comedy -- which has always functioned as a weapon to lay low the mighty (or anyway bring them down a peg) -- can also be a useful vehicle for the discussion of otherwise daunting and unpalatable (let alone inconvenient) truths. (An upcoming Festival panel, "It's a New (Green) World," takes up the issue of connecting media to public action.) In more unconventional fare, the recent Israeli war on Lebanon receives treatment in a North American premiere by Living Cinema's Pierre Hebert (images) and Bob Ostertag (music). "Special Forces," a live cinematic performance which will take place at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art on May 4 and whose world premiere occurred in April as part of Beirut's Irtijal '07 festival of experimental music, is an audiovisual montage combining pop cultural detritus like video games with images of war and original recordings made in Beirut. Judging by Living Cinema's "Between Science and Garbage," a piece which evolved through a series of concerts staged in the U.S. and Europe from just after 9/11 to the days just prior to the U.S./U.K. invasion of Iraq in 2003, "Special Forces" should prove a stimulating and politically provocative admixture of sound and image.
As it happened, Sellars delivered his trenchant talk on the relation of global cinema and culture in the 21st century just one day shy of the 70th anniversary of the German bombing of the Spanish town of Guernica, an act that not only rehearsed the Nazi war machine's expansionist designs (and inspired Picasso's outraged response) but signaled in its indiscriminate slaughter of civilians the terrible degradation of individual sovereignty in the present age. Sellars, for his part, came repeatedly back to the rise of fascism in Europe to underscore the challenges facing art and humanity today. Stressing how digital media empower global voices in the new century, giving rise to the "alternative vocalization" underway in cinema that brings "traditional, epic, and oral storytelling into the mainstream," he ranged over millennia and continents in pursuit of his theme, touching perhaps closest to home with reference to California's runaway prison industry and draconian immigration policies, which Sellars laid out in the starkest and most chilling of terms. "At this moment," he argued, "where all over the world governments are the problem not the solution; we need to create as artists another possibility for a new set of states to which we can belong, adhere, subscribe, and that does have something deeply to do with what we believe in, hope for, and care about."

It seems odd that a book devoted exclusively to obstetric difficulties should occupy as many pages as most standard textbooks of obstetrics, which contain both normal and abnormal obstetrics. Yet a careful study of this book reveals that Titus has closely adhered to his theme. One may question only whether the subject of sterility, which occupies seventy-seven pages, and the treatment of the cervix by electrical apparatus in the nonpregnant woman properly belong in a book on obstetric difficulties. The author himself is aware of this question, because in the preface he says "Obstetrics and gynecology interlock so closely that there is ample reason for including chapters on pelvic floor damage, postpartum uterine misplacements and their treatment, tumor growths complicating pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, electrovaginal coagulation and conization for postpartum cervicitis, as well as sterility and its treatment." The book is based on the author's extensive experience both as a clinician

It appears the New England Patroits will not put tight end Rob Gronkowski on the physically unable to preform list, NFL.com is reporting.
Gronkowski is recovering from back surgery and hasn't been practicing with the team. But according to NFL.com's Albert Breer, the team believes Gronkowski can make a return sooner than if he were placed on the PUP list, where he would automatically miss the first six weeks of the season.
With Gronkowski likely to remain on the roster, it's more likely that players in jeopardy of not making the team have less of a chance in doing so. Among those players could be Tim Tebow, who struggled in Thursday's game with the Giants and was sacked four times. He also threw a fourth-quarter touchdown.

Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn is back with more elevated B-movie stylings, more Gosling getting bloodied, more Gosling shoving babes against walls, more Gosling ominously approaching from dimly-lit corridors, more dudes getting their wrists hacked open by some old gangster--plus, now kickboxing, because how's that for an improvement on the violence formula?--with his latest feature, Only God Forgives.
Here's a crummy look at the film's first teaser trailer. If you liked Drive, you will probably this it looks pretty awesome. If you did not like Drive, well, maybe you can still get in on that class action lawsuit.

We had some cores drilled in a pavement section where there was some question about compressive strength. We got the compressive strength report back from the lab, and the strength was rounded to the nearest 1 psi. Is this correct?

Well, since Bill Murray isn't returning his calls about "Ghostbusters 3," Dan Aykroyd is continuing to go all George Lucas in the second half of his career, and isn't content with shitting on the legacy of one just franchise. Nope, he's gonna now drag "The Blues Brothers" through the mud.
If you thought the insipid "Blues Brothers 2000" was as low as Aykroyd and company could go, you're mistaken, as Variety report the two guys on a mission from God are now being pitched for a new primetime TV series. Judy Belushi, Anne Beatts ("Saturday Night Live"), Wayne Catania and Kieron Lafferty have penned a pilot which would pick up with Jake and Elwood sprung from jail, with the latter looking for his real Dad after being raised in an orphanage. That doesn't sound too bad right? Well how about this. Each episode will have a musical number (makes sense) but comparisons are already being drawn to another very popular hit show. "It would be 'Route 66' meets 'Glee,' and it all goes to hell in a handbasket," Beatts told the trade.
Listen, as much as we want to be optimistic and think the series will go after bonafide talent as least somewhat approaching the league of folks like James Brown, Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin who appeared in the original film, the truth is, for primetime, it probably means we're going to get much more mainstream geared artists being sought out who are only tangentially connected to rhythm and blues and rock 'n roll. Think: Kings Of Leon or Robin Thicke or Jo Calderone whatever. Oh, and one more thing. Aykroyd himself will voice a character in the proposed series, playing Jake and Elwood's parole officer who we presume will remain offscreen.
Anyway, we kind of just wish that Aykroyd would go back to investigating UFOs or making new shapes for bottles of his Crystal Head Vodka (which, incidentally, is really good) instead of trying to keep the flame alive on franchises that should be left well enough alone. But when your last starring gig was a voice in "Yogi Bear" we suppose a certain amount of career desperation sets in.

I am trying to install an in wall timer switch for my exterior lights. The timer does require a white nuetral wire. My house is brand new, and I know it should have a white nuetral wire. There is what looks like 3 white wires joined by a nut but not connected to any switch, is this the nuetral? The switch I am trying to replace is a single switch. It has two red wires connected to 1 of the screws and two orange wires connected to the other screw. I am not sure which one is the 'hot' and which is the 'load' as they do not match the colors I am used to. There is also no visible copper ground wire or green screw. I am not sure what steps to take next. Timer has 3 wires needing to be connected. A black to go to a hot wire, a red to go to the load wire, and a green to go to ground wire. Any help would be appreciated.

- Trying to install an in wall timer switch for exterior lights
"There is what looks like 3 white wires joined by a nut but not connected to any switch, is this the nuetral?" More than likely the three bundle is the neutral. The line would be the one that is hot all the time and the load would be the one that is hot when the switch is on and cold when the switch is in the off position. Also are you sure two wires connect to one screw? Not code. Maybe it's just stranded wire around the screw with insulation left on to prevent unraveling.
So after looking at it, it is not two wires, but one with the wire exposed and wrapped around the screw before heading elsewhere. One end of each red wire goes into the wall and then after wrapping around the screw the other end connects with the other switch. The switch on the left of the picture is to the interior ceiling light (I do not want to change anything with that one, the switch on the right controls 3 coach lights on the exterior(this is the one I am putting a timer on). If the white bundle on the bottom of picture is the nuetral, then I am still not sure where to connect my green ground wire. Besides putting up a ceiling fan, I do not know much about electrical. Any help is appreciated.
I was able to install the timer by experimenting. I connected the nuetral wire to the white bundle on the bottom, the black hot wire to the red wire from the current switch (since it was the only color going to both original switches, I figured it had to be the hot), The load wire to the orange and connected the green wire to the green 'ground' screw on the other original light switch. It is working great.

Collegia pietatis, ( Latin: "schools of piety") conventicles of Christians meeting to study the Scriptures and devotional literature; the concept was first advanced in the 16th century by the German Protestant Reformer Martin Bucer, an early associate of John Calvin in Strasbourg. Philipp Jakob Spener adopted the idea a century later in an effort to counteract what he perceived as the moral and spiritual indifference of the Protestant churches and to implement a program of reform that revolved around Bible study, devotional exercises, and personal piety. Spener had outlined this reform program in a book entitled Pia Desideria ("Pious Wishes"). This led to a religious revival in many German states and influenced not only the church but also society in general. Because of their emphasis on the practice of a pious life, Spener and his followers were called Pietists.

Daiki Suzuki
Woolrich Woolen Mills head designer
Mon Dec 8 2008
What it is: A men's country-meets-city-chic outdoor line.
Who he is: Japanese-born Suzuki began his work in the U.S. in 1989. Starting out as a purchaser in Boston, he brought authentic hunting gear to the shores of Japan. Ten years later, Suzuki began his first clothing line, Engineered Garments, and the brand quickly blossomed from having a cult Japanese fan base to being an international mainstay. Then in 2006, he joined the well-known Woolrich Woolen Mills team. Their traditional American look was a perfect fit for the ironically non-American designer. After updating the 170-year-old brand, Suzuki nabbed a CFDA/GQ Menswear Designer of the Year Award in February 2008.
What he makes: The rebirth of classic American sportswear is as big a surprise to Suzuki as it is to anyone else. "I am really quite surprised by this trend," he says. "I always admired Woolrich Woolen Mills growing up and let it influence my work long before I started designing there." Combining utility and a modern sensibility, Suzuki's method is to stay traditional while invigorating the brand. "It's about being made in the USA," he continues. "It's not easy manufacturing here, but that's what gives it its character and heritage."
What's next: "That's hard to say, as we work season to season," admits Suzuki. "But perhaps a collaboration? Who knows!"
Where to find it: Barneys New York (660 Madison Ave between 60th and 61st Sts; 212-754-7940, )

'Intentional ministry'
Human Race | Tim Walberg makes the transition from the pulpit to politics
At the intersection of politics and religion stands Tim Walberg. Few professional politicians can claim anything more than a layman's credibility in the field of religion. And few pastors can flex much official political muscle. Walberg, a former pastor and newly elected Republican congressman from Michigan, can claim expertise in both fields.
At a time when some conservative religious leaders are questioning the marriage between evangelicals and the Republican Party, Rep. Walberg has found unity between his religion and political interests. "Politics is just another format that can be used as a place of intentional ministry," Walberg told WORLD. "Christians can be involved in influencing their culture here [in Washington]."
Blending ministry and politics is nothing new for Walberg. After spending seven years pastoring a Baptist then a nondenominational church, Walberg won a seat in the Michigan State House of Representatives, where he served from 1983 until 1999.
After another five-year stint in ministry-working for the Moody Bible Institute as a division manager-Walberg knocked off moderate Republican Rep. Joe Schwarz in last year's Republican primary.
Since landing in Washington, Walberg says he's looked to other evangelical political leaders -Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), and Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz.)-as examples.
How will Walberg approach his new vocation? "As a Christian-or as they say here, a person of faith-that there's only one source of change for the human soul and that's Jesus Christ," he said. "Everything comes at me through the filter of my faith. It has to be that way if this is more than a religion-It's a relationship and a way of life." - John Dawson
Crime & fasting
Philadelphia Christian activist Bill Devlin ended a 40-day fast Feb. 5-with a banana. Devlin was enjoying Christmas holiday fare when he learned that his hometown has the highest crime rate among the 10 largest cities in the United States. As the former head of the Urban Family Council and a minister who's worked with urban teens for 15 years, Devlin knew that "the city's response to this crisis would be to hold a meeting, proclaim the terrible nature of the news, and appoint a committee, and while I appreciate the need for such action, at the end of the day, where does that get us?" He decided to undertake a water-only fast as a way to draw attention to "the change of heart" he said is needed citywide. At 6 feet 3 inches, Devlin, 54, went from 195 pounds to 155 pounds during the fast, monitored, he said, by a physician. And he did draw attention to the cause, as local media repeatedly covered his progress. Devlin told WORLD the extended fast taught him that "I find the strength of Christ in my total physical weakness. I had to cry out to Him from the bottom of my heart, privately, and I wept frequently. But after the third day, I experienced no desire for food-almost as if I were being fed supernaturally." - Mindy Belz
MISSIONS: About 1,000 people filed past caskets at funeral services in Nairobi, Kenya, for missionaries Lois Anderson and Zelda White after the mother and daughter were shot and killed in a carjacking attack in Kenya's capital. Anderson, a retired Presbyterian (U.S.A.) missionary who had served all across the African continent, was in strife-ridden Nairobi to visit family. White was a seminary student in Kenya. "They were just lifelong servants of the church," said Rev. Eric Skidmore, who knew the pair. Police say the carjackers shot the two women when they took too long getting out of their SUV.
EDUCATION: Spring Arbor University in Michigan is bracing for a discrimination lawsuit after the small Christian school fired a male professor who began showing up to teach class in a wig and dress. John Nemecek says he will fight the lawsuit even as he undergoes medical procedures-including estrogen therapy-to become a transgendered woman. "We expect our faculty to model Christian character as an example for our students," the Free Methodist university said in a statement.

Barring fully-automatic knives (which are illegal for civilian use), there's no faster blade deployment mechanism on the market than the S.A.T. system in the SOG Flash I. A short movement of the thumb stud starts the show, then BANG! The S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) coil spring takes over, whipping the blade fully open and locking it in place with a sliding piston. The Flash I's cryogenically-treated, titanium-nitride-coated AUS-8 steel blade takes a keen edge, and the textured, anodized aluminum handle scales are made to withstand years of hard use. SOG's reversible pocket clip allows you to carry this knife discreetly without sacrificing easy access.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Too Small
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
First off let me say I love SOG knives. I opened this up, put it in my hand and was instantly dissatisfied. I for a 6ft man have very small hands (same size as my moms (5'6")) and this knife is still too small for me. I dont feel like I have an adequate grip on the knife when deploying the blade which makes me feel slightly unsafe. Its also a little too wide -bulky- for how small it is. Other than that it is an awesome knife, the S.A.T. was fantastic, arc lock fantastic and I didnt test the blade cause I returned it but I have full trust in SOG blades. I also buy for "value" and this was not a value item in my opinion; if it fits your hand like a glove, by all means $60 is well worth this knife, but not for something you would have to get used to or 'deal with' on a daily basis. Other than the size and "value," this knife is a home run. I would recommend this knife, only to someone with tiny hands though.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
So I got this purdy little knife for 70 bucks a few months ago and have been carrying it daily since. I was really drawn to it because of the aluminum scales and the size. I love the size, its small and light, works perfect for small tasks like cutting a lime, opening letters, and other small daily tasks. The quality is decent, but it is NO Benchmade. The action just isnt as smooth, even when well lubricated. If forced to pay the $108 msrp, i would have purchased a mini-griptialian.
My biggest 2 dislikes...
1) as a climber, sometimes I have some super sensitive finger tips after a day on the rocks...the lock mechanism is very sharp...not sure why they thought a harsh square edge was a good idea.
2) Closing the blade is jerky, seems the cam could have been better designed.
I am still a Benchmade guy, but this SOG has done well for me. It's not perfect, but for a super small EDC blade, I am pretty happy with it.
I would like to add, the clip is terrible...It has a very nice ride, low in your pocket, but I seem to catch it on everything and its beginning to fatigue....did not have this issue with my Benchmade...
More use, action doesnt really smooth out. Tried polishing the back of the blade (Cam that runs the assisted open) still just doesnt quite cut it.
Still, its my go to carry because its light and tiny.
Lots of complaints due to its size....if you have big hands, get something else.
Small Knife
I really like this knife but it is really small. I ended up returning it and getting the Flash 2 which is much bigger. This knife is amazing though. Only bad thing is the size.
Really Small Knife
I have small hands and this knife is hard to operate for me! It is a lot smaller than it looks in the picture, and because it is so small it is hard to open and close easily with 1 hand. I will be returning this knife and trying out the Flash II.
God smal knife
Use it for opening everything, bit smaller than i thought when i bought it. But no problem, sharp and good quality.
great pocket knife
opens lightning fast. got it off SAC for dirt cheap. smaller than i thought it would have been, but the stability of the blade makes up for that. pocket clip is sturdy too. pretty sharp straight form the factory too. like it so much i am gonna get the flash 2 as well (as soon as i see it on SAC).
mine came with a straight blade, non serrated
So far, so good...
Smaller knife than I'm generally a fan of carrying and I purchased the razor edge rather than a combo (bigger fan of combo's), but this thing packs quite a punch... From it's light weight, to the FAST deployment of it's razor sharp edge, I have yet to find something that doesn't make this knife deserving of 5 stars.
You may, however, have some issues if you're one of those people that needs a constant reminder that your gear is there... IT IS small and light weight- to the point of where you don't even know it's there. Like I said, this knife is small (literally the size of my thumb when closed) so if you need something larger, get it's bigger brother- the "Flash II"- considerably larger to the point of where it seems like they should have made a "Flash 1.5" to fill the gap between "I" and "II" models.
I will be buying a few more of these for gifts, stabbing bums and crackheads on the mean streets of Las Vegas, around the house, in the cars, etc. When I can stop playing with it and widdling mesquite branches from my front yard into walking sticks, I'll take some pics and maybe go as far as to attach a youtube review/walk-through.
He shoulda got a CRKT
I was lucky enough not to purchase this personally but camped with a friend on his first time using this particular knife. I had my CRKT Ultima and he had the sog flash I. This knife dulled quickly and the very tip actually broke off while using it for a menial task. I didn't know that happend unless you were stabbing bricks or something. if you are wanting to drop this much on a knife, go for a CRKT.
SOG Knives Flash I Knife
Mine is black with a black blade and is one of the sexiest knives to slip into my pocket. Takes up roughly the same size as a chapstick. Feels great in my hand, and has a nice edge from the factory. The handle is not anodized aluminum, but a composite. Blade assist is wicked fast. Careful when playing around with the knife at first! An extra this knife features is a locking mechanism to keep it shut.
This knife is usually on my body while hiking, and often in my coat pocket when I am off the trail. I bought mine when SOG wasn't that known, and the price of this knife was much much more. I have seen the Flash II selling for forty bucks at generic stores(I own a Flash II as well).
I am truly impressed by this knife. I own three other SOG knives because of this knife and my family has many more. I strongly suggest buying this knife, you will find a a reason to use it.
All-Around Knife
I carry this knife most of the time because it is so versatile. The assisted blade opens lighning fast and the thumb point on the blade is in the perfect position for my hand. The blade is typical SOG quality is sharp from the factory. Includes pocket clip.
I love this knife. It's PERFECT for everyday use. SOG has won me over! Will buy more of this brand in the future. One word = Awesome!
SOG = Super
The assisted opening of this blade is fast. A buddy of mine had this at the trailhead one weekend, and by sunday, it was no longer in his possession. The blade comes out like nothing, and cuts nice with the factory edge. Trail food prep and whittling are easy, and the in hand ergonomics are great. Super low weight for what you get.
nice knife
this is a very lightweight knife, the handle is completely made out of plastic. but it is not "cheap". it has a very nice assisted opening, as good as an auto. once you are used to the unlock mechanism, it works great, feels good, and is a tough, handy knife
the handle on this knife is anodized aluminum, but they do have other ones that are cheaper with zytel plastic handles.
Yes, this particular knife has the aluminum handle but I have also seen the plastic handle models that sell for less. I have a smaller SOG with the plastic handle and so far no worries, has held up well.
For what it's worth I think the Zytel knife is better in every meaningful way, though both that and the alloy knife are nice. It's significantly lighter and I see no real-world advantage to the alloy handle in terms of durability or any other area. The Flash I is a great design and a great everyday-carry knife, though I prefer the Sog Aegis to the Flash II if you are looking for something larger.
Google it.
The Texas Penal Code Title 10, Chapter 46, Section 46.01(6)(A) defines an illegal knife as a knife witha blade over five and one half inches.
if you can't properly ask a question then maybe you shouldn't be asking such questions to begin with. Nimrod.

gm power steering pump questions
hi i am upgrading my 59 chevy to a unisteer r & p setup. it came with a gen ll/tc power steering pump but i already have the old style gm canister type pump . does anyone know if the output pressures are the same? thanks
I would think that the pump supplied with the rack would be matched to that unit. A call to the supplier would confirm or deny that.

MUSIC 114 - Choral Literature
Time: MWF 10-1050 Location: CAB: 1088 Instructor: Dr. Hickman
Office hours (available daily) to be posted on my door, CAB 1060 or by appointment)
Textbook: There is no suitable book published at this time. I am preparing chapters and listening assignments that you are expected to keep up with using Blackboard Vista. Musical examples are linked to these electronic files as hyperlinks. Some of these are linked to the Classical Music Library (on the web site of the Randall Library) and others to the UNCW streaming server. In both cases, log in credentials are needed unless you are connected on campus by Ethernet. Finally there are some items that link to web sites. Login instructions for Blackboard Vista.
Format of the class: Lecture and discussion. Although there will be reference to a timeline throughout the presentations, the approach to choral music will be by genre (madrigal, oratorio, etc.) and topic rather than historical. The focus also will be in the evolution of musical style as seen in choral literature.
Prerequisite: Interest in choral music is essential. Experience singing choral music is helpful. Technical knowledge of choral literature is not a prerequisite, although you should expect to gain the facility to understand the style and speak about what you hear.
Expected work product: Primarily you are expected to participate in discussions and develop both skill in listening and ability to articulate (in writing) what you hear. Some writing (mostly listening reports) is expected.
Tests and evaluation: Four tests throughout the semester, including the final. These will include listening based questions, short answer questions, and some essay questions. Grading scale: A (94-100); A- (92-93); B+ (88-91); B (84-87); B- (80-83); C+ (78-79); C (73-77); C- (70-72); D (65 - 69); F (64 or below).
Attendance and participation will be evaluated to create one grade. Homework assignments (listening reports, etc.) will be evaluated to create one grade. The four tests will each be one grade. The lowest grade (except the final exam, which may not be dropped) will be dropped and the semester grade will be an average of the remaining 5 grades.
Concert attendance: You are asked to attend and report on a minimum of 3 choral music concerts. A list of events will be posted on the Blackboard and revised periodically.
Knowledge and listening skills are accumulative through the semester, but questions will not be repeated on a cumulative final.

Anissa Urtez drove in six runs with a grand slam and double during Thursday's 12-7 win over Stanford.
April 17, 2014
SALT LAKE CITY - Freshman shortstop Anissa Urtez hit a grand slam and doubled for a season-high total of six RBI to help the University of Utah softball team overcome a 7-0 deficit for a 12-7 win over Stanford in its Pac-12 Conference series opener on Thursday at Utah Softball Stadium.
Utah (19-19, 4-11 Pac-12) scored a season-high 12 runs reached double-digits in runs in conference play for the first time this season against Stanford. The Utes have been in double-figures in runs five times in 2014.
Utah was patient at the plate throughout the day, drawing nine walks from Cardinal pitchers. The Utes also drew nine walks on Apr. 8 at Weber State.
The Ute defense also turned two more double plays to improve their Pac-12 leading total to 33 on the season.
Urtez went 2-for-3 on the day with a two-run double in the fourth and a grand slam in the fourth to set a new career high with six runs driven in. She has 12 multi-hit games this season and seven with two or more RBI. The Long Beach, Calif., native leads the team with 34 RBI this season and ranks second on the squad with four home runs and 15 extra-base hits. Her six RBI tied for the team-high by an individual this season as freshman first baseman Bridget Castro also drove in six against Portland State on Feb. 8.
Castro and sophomore catcher Shelby Pacheco also had two hits apiece. Castro also drove in two runs and now has 10 games with multiple hits in 2014 and six outings with multiple RBI. She ranks second on the team with 29 RBI. Pacheco recorded a pair of doubles and now has five on the season to go with eight RBI.
Freshman Sammy Cordova threw 4.0 innings in her 12th start of the season and gave up seven earned runs on nine hits in the no-decision. Junior Mariah Ramirez came on with three shutout innings of relief and allowed only one hit with only one walk. The Hawaiian Gardens, Calif., native improved to 4-3 on the season.
Sophomore third baseman Kristen Stewart laced a solo homer of the right-center field wall for her first round-tripper of the season for Utah's first score of the contest. Junior right-fielder Marissa Mendenhall walked and Pacheco looped her fourth double of the season to put Utes on the second and third, but unfortunately Utah could not push a second run across.
In the third frame, junior left fielder Kate Dickman smacked a single off the glove of the Cardinal first baseman and scored after Castro drove an RBI single for her 28th RBI of the season.
Mendenhall, Pacheco and freshman pinch hitter Bella Secaira drew three straight walks to start the fourth inning and freshman second baseman Hannah Flippen smacked an RBI single up the middle to force pinch runner Trina Gomez across home plate. Urtez then looped a one-out double through the right-center field for a pair of runs for her 28th and 29th RBI of the season. Castro then popped up her sixth sacrifice fly of the season that allowed Flippen to cross home plate.
Pacheco started the fifth frame with her second double of the contest, this time to center field, before senior center fielder Chalese Hadley and Dickman drew free passes and Urtez plastered a grand slam over the left-field fence to give Utah a 10-7 lead.
Gomez walked to lead off the sixth and Hadley drove an RBI base hit up the middle to bring around Gomez for Utah's 12th straight score to set the final margin.
Stanford (25-17, 2-11 Pac-12) was led by a two-hit, four-RBI performance by second baseman Erin Ashby.
The series continues tomorrow at 3 p.m. MT with the action televised live on Pac-12 Networks. Anne Marie Anderson (PBP) and Teri Goldberg (Analyst) will be on the call.

How to Run-Part 2: Cues, Pictures, Videos, and Hip Extension
Before getting to the visual aids, I'd like to first give some practical cues for changing your running form. In what is becoming a reoccuring theme of this blog (and was mentioned in the comments by some astute readers), often what we see and what actually is happening are two different things. To help alleviate this confusion, I've listed some of the visual "problems" that are often seen in running, and then given their actual causes. While knowing the actual cause is great and all, it's useless without a way to fix it. To help you out, I've listed a number of possible "cues" to use to help correct the problems. Hopefully you find this information useful.
Finding the Cause:
Problem: Excessive Back Kick
Possible Causes: Too much forward lean, active pulling of foot to butt
Problem: Short/Flat stride
Possible Causes: Excessive extension of the entire leg, trying to toe off, too low of a takeoff angle, reaching out with lower leg to cover ground.
Problem: Very Little Hip Extension
Possible Causes: Trying to get quick with the feet and pulling them up early
Problem: Reaching out with the lower leg/heel striking
Possible Causes: Excessive/slow back kick, leaning backwards, delayed opposite arm swing because of the arm crossing or moving outwards, excessive shoulder rotation
Problem: Angle of swing leg too large or too small
Possible Causes: Hip extension either too great (for too small of an angle) or too small (for too large of an angle).
Problem: Reaching out with the lower leg
Cue: Put foot down behind you, as soon as the knee stops drop the foot to the ground
Problem: Hip Extension
Cue: Allow the hip to extend, Use the hip like a crank- initiate it let it go.
Problem: Flat/Short Stride
Cue: Think more vertical, have the horizon bounce slightly, don't push off the ground as long and leave the foot alone.
Problem: Excessively bouncy stride
Cue: Think more horizontal, watch horizon and limit the bounce.
Problem: Pawback
Cue: Leave the lower leg alone. It's just along for the ride. Be patient. Don't try and get quick.
Problem: Dorsiflexion of the foot
Cue: Keep the ankle in a neutral position. Leave the ankle alone.
Hip Extension:
The biggest source of confusion in my last biomechanics article was on hip extension. This is my fault and a remnant of reading too many biomechanics papers. As with everything in biomechanics, there is a description of how it looks like and what it feels like. Describing what hip extension looks like is a piece of cake. It's best thought of as the moving of the whole upper thigh backwards in the running motion. It helps many to focus entirely on the hip joint, and think of the movement coming from there. This is clearly seen in the pictures below.
Describing what it feels like is a little more difficult. The point I was trying to make, but didn't come across quiet as clearly as it should have, is that the hip complex is where the power comes from. It's not from pushing off with your toes or with your calves. The cue should be to focus on the hip as your sort of speed control. As mentioned in my long post on the biomechanics, the hip acts like a crank. The faster you want to go the more powerful or quicker the hip extension needs to be. It's always present, it's just the degree of extension that controls the speed. Once you've initiated it, allow it to happen. It's not forcing the leg backwards, it's starting it and the letting it do it's work. This will take some experimenting around to get the right idea and correct feeling. Most runners start off with limiting the hip extension and then go to the opposite extreme in trying to force full extension on every stride no matter the pace. Eventually, you'll settle in as you become aware of just how much is really needed for each given speed. It's like when you first learn to drive and you're too hard on the breaks when stopping because you haven't fine tuned the process yet.
Pete Larson of the excellent blog runblogger.com sent me a great picture from the Boston Marathon that illustrates hip extension perfectly. Watch all of the elites in this picture and they all look remarkably similar with their extension leg. Note the degree of hip extension as well as the angle. As they say, pictures are worth a thousand words, so here you go:
Example: Cody
Above is a series of video's I took at the park with a former runner I coached who now runs in college. Cody's a good example of someone who was a bad heel striker whose arms would also go crazy when he fatigued. He's come a long way and is a quick learner as you'll see in the video.
The reason I like this video so much is that you can see the progression of correction. On the first stride, you'll see a flat stride with a bit of a heel strike. Essentially, he's trying to cover ground by reaching out with his lower leg a little bit. Compared to the Cody of the past, this was a big improvement, but there's always something to work on. On the second stride, we tried to address the foot strike issue by getting him to focus only on putting his foot down sooner. Here you'll see that his feet come down underneath him and he lands midfoot. However, his stride is a bit shorter and a bit more choppy. That's a normal response when you get someone to put their foot down sooner.
On the last stride, our goal was to get him to lengthen his stride, but instead of doing it by reaching out with his lower leg, we did it by covering more ground in the air. The cue here was to focus on not only the power coming from hip extension, but also on projecting the body in the optimal direction with that push off. What that means is that we tried to increase the vertical component. Basically, Cody tried to introduce more bounce into the stride. If you go back and look at the 3rd stride, you'll see that Cody has a longer stride because of an improved push off/vertical component while still landing with his feet underneath him.
Hopefully in this video you can see the progression that Cody went through. The key was addressing one problem at a time and eventually putting it all together as a whole. First we got the foot strike fixed and then brought back in the stride length by pushing, not reaching.
The El Guerrouj Pictures:
I don't have a scanner, so you'll have to settle for some cell phone captured pictures of my El Guerrouj running shots. Although you can't make out everything, note the hip extension, body position, and overall relaxation of El G.

Thanks for the clarification. Not really feeling the cue but the photos are helpful as a "final product". What about rotating the hip slightly, does that encourage the extension or work against it?ReplyDelete
Due to running minimalist and occasionally barefoot, i have been lifting my foot as described by certain advocates but my hip flexors have been getting fatigued. Thanks to your how-to-run and boimechanics post i now just let the leg basically get on with it. I do use the slingshot cue, but the upshot is, my flexors don't ache anymore. I do have one question though: should i be conscious of my hip position , i.e., slightly forward and ensuring I'm not sitting back or that my rear is poking out. I did play with this yesterday and felt a difference but good or bad I'm not entirely sure.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for your solid running advice though. It has helped running to become easier and more fun.
Great clarification on hip extension -- intellectually, now I get it. The way I am currently trying to think about/feel the front of the hip during extension is that, as the leg straightens behind, the hips stay "flat" and resist being pulled back on that side, but doesn't rotate forward either (which would really be the spine rotating?).ReplyDelete

Perhaps this is a good explanation of hip extension (found it on the Internet): "If you are not sure what hip extension is then stand up, with your feet together. Lift one foot off the floor and with a straight (or bent) knee push that foot back so that your thigh moves backwards...that's hip extension."ReplyDelete
Try this; Stand on one leg and dorsi-flex your ankle, straight away you move foreward and your hip extends behind you!!!ReplyDelete
Both Ryan Hall[in a video] recommends Dorsi flexing the ankle, and he has got one of the longest strides going!
Ceb Coe also recommends dorsi flexon of the ankle to improve stride length.
Steve maybe you a wrong to say dorsi flexing the ankle is incorrect???
Rick- I should clarify, I'm against an active dorsiflexion during the swing phase. Coache's cue "toe up" all the time, and it's my feeling that the ankle is just along for the ride. It'll go into periods of dorsi and plantar flexion based on what needs to be done. Particularly before footstrike. A common cue is to dorsiflex before footstrike, but if you do that, you're encouraging a rearfoot strike at worse and at best your putting your ankle out of proper position.ReplyDelete
Anonymous- Thanks for the quote, sums it up nicely.
Reaper-That's a good way to view it. It works well with the rubber band concept.
Si- Seems like you've got the idea. As for hip position, it definately plays a role. Experiment around with it, but you'll see that if the hips are tilted to far back, you'll be in that sitting position. When you're sitting, you're not going to get as much extension.
Girl in motion- It definately plays a role. Rotating the hips can either help or hinder hip extension. As I mentioned with the above commentator, if you rotate too far backwards, you're not going to get the powerful extension that you normally would.

Hi Steve,ReplyDelete
Another good post for discussion. As you know, I take a somewhat different approach to the benefits of improving mechanics to effect faster running speeds. Based upon the available science, perhaps 10% of running performance can be improved by mechanics.
First, normal humans are bipedal. We are hardwired to move on 2 feet whether walking or running. Can that be improved upon by changing mechanics? Perhaps, but considering the thousands of years humans have been bipedal, the effects are minimal. Unless foot contact is beyond center of mass, it matters little what is happening prior to and after foot contact. This is where we get in trouble watching athletes run or watching the videos of athletes running.
Second, as you noted earlier in your previous post, we tend to focus on the effects of movement as opposed to the causes of movement. "EVERYONE RUNS DIFFERENTLY." We are not the same sizes, nor have the same bone lengths, nor have the same muscle attachments or inherent muscle fibers. There is not a "one size fits all" approach to perfect running mechanics. The sooner athletes figure this out, the better they will become at discerning their running "form." It is like saying that a classical guitarist could teach Jimi Hendrix to improve his guitar playing, even though he played a right-handed guitar left-handed with the strings upside down. The form Hendrix used was both fast and efficient. Ultimately, the desired result was genius.
To think that altering foot contact (.08 to .09 sec.) through dorsiflexion or plantar flexion, or the altering of force application (.04 sec) or the repositioning of limbs (passive elastic recoil) are the ways to faster running speeds is, IMO, naive and scientifically unsupported. If you want to run faster, then concentrate on improving applying more muscular force, improve ground contact, and improve the rate of force delivery. Everything else pales in comparison.
Coach Doug Robinson
Until now, I have been trying lift my feet as soon as possible, for a short, fast stride.ReplyDelete
So the hip extension has been hard to grasp.
I had to deliberately drive my leg back and that was tiring.
But now I am running in racing flats with a lower heel, and I notice something different.
As the leg goes back, there is a point where my heel naturally lifts off the ground and the leg swings forward without thinking about it.
In the shoes with the big elevated heel cushion I don't seem to feel this. Is this because the big cushy shoes prevent the ankle from flexing and 'loading up'?
Good point ac,ReplyDelete
i've been running in minimal shoes for about a year now.
Yes a flat sole means your calf and tendon stretch out more and so spring back more.
Also a flat shoe allows for more dorsi flexon in the ankle which in turn i think allows for greater hip extention.
I wore a pair of trail shoes [high heel] today for the first time in ages and my form felt dreadfull, 'It's the shoes'!!!
I'm I correct Steve?
Ryan Hall video on foot strike http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82ghOr78FcUReplyDelete
watching this video of Ryan Hall at speed, I'm left wondering is the important thing the arm drive or the shouler rotation.
going to college last year running with a ruksack on my back i could not use my arms as i had to hold onto the straps to stop the bag from rocking about, running seemed harder without the use of my arms until i started rotating my shoulders from side to side, i started generating more power and my speed picked up!
Ben- Yep. If you pay attention to your body it'll tell you when it's too much. When you have to fforce things to happen to go any further that's usually a good sign. It's the same with the arm swing, you can feel the arm "catch" when going backwards, but some people ignore this and keep going.ReplyDelete
Coach Robinson-
As always, aprreciate the commentary. Even though we fundamentally disagree, it makes me think, which is always a good thing.
To adress some of your points. You've always got to be cautious with the "evolved" or "natural" argument because you have to remember that we didn't evolve or develop to run fast. Running fast wasn't the deciding factor in our evolution, it was just a consequence, a secondary factor. Secondly, we know that outside factors significantly change how we do things "naturally". Foot strike is an obvious one that I'd say has been sufficiently studied in the literature.
I agree that there are no one size fits all models. In my opinion though, there are some overarching broad biomechanical principles that govern running. The details of those principles may differ based on individual physiology.
Lastly, while force application is extremely important, I think this kind of one answer to the question thinking is dangerous. It's very prevent in Science and Research. We are always looking for one limiter, without realizing the complexity of the human body and the fact that there are indeed many different "limiters". It's a reductionist approach. It's what has led to horrible conclusions of fatigue based on lactate, or that only one thing limits your so called VO2max. The little things add up.
The change in ground contact between a heel strike and a whole foot strike is often be as much as .03-.04 per foot strike. That's huge if you think about it over a race. And that's just by simply changing how the foot strikes the ground. Which is a result of what you're doing before you strike the ground...i.e. recovery mechanics.
Secondly, if you look at the stuies on energy use during the stride, the amount of energy coming from passive mechanics is enormous and part of this is due to passive elastic recoils.
In my opinion, it's naive to not look at the whole picture and try and maximize each thing. It's akin to training distance runners by saying that oxygen consumption is the only thing that matters so all we are going to do is do long aerobic runs and aerobic intervals. While these might be the most important things, I can gaurantee you aren't going to have as good of a performance as the runner who includes the whole gamut of training intensity/types to maximize even the little contributors ot performance.
AC- Well done, you're correct that the shoes likely play a role. It's likely that the shoe inhibits this process a bit. You've got the right feeling exactly.
Rick-You're correct, nice explanation.
On the arm/shoulder rotation. Interesting observation/example. The arm swing has to counteract the movement in the opposite lower body. When you weren't able to swing your arms, you compensated by rotating the shoulders which made it easier. What happened is instead of the arm swings taking up the counteracting of the lower body, the shoulders did. In this instance it definately helped.
However, when you can use your arms, it's best to use them to compensate instead of full shoulder rotation. Both can be used as compensation mechanisms. In reality, you'll get a slight shoulder rotation with the arms. The key is not having the shoulders rotate to the degree that they start throwing off other stuff.
Tom Tellez and hip extentionReplyDelete
First thanks for reply.
Since reading your 2nd article on running form I've been trying to work on hip extention, but it did not feel quite right, then i rememberted what Tom Tellez had said about not waisting time letting your foot come back down to the ground with gravity alone but to activate hip extention so your leg and foot swing down quickly with the foot landing close to COG.
Soon after the foot becomes grounded I switch the glutes off and let momentum carry my body over the grounded foot.
RESULT this felt great:]
I have read that due to the quads dominating once the foot is grounded it's not possible to extent the hip back through muscle activation of the glutts,
there is a test you can do by standing about two feet from a wall facing it, standing on one leg lean into the wall putting your hands out to touch the wall.
You can feel gravity pushing you against the wall, but can you push hard by trying to extend your hips?
The answer seems to be NO!
The only way to increase force is by raising your calf muscle up.
I feel the push back of hip extention after the foot is grounded is just an illusion and that after foot contact it is momentum and ankle flexion that moves you foreward and increases stride length!
Hip extention test two
Stand on one leg, now activate your glutts for all your worth, do you move foreward?
You might if you activate a calf raise, or you can if you get off balance, but not through hip extention!!!
How many has problems with too poor hip extension really? It's not a criticism, because I don't really know, but I at least previously thought that what you need to do with the hip is jst to make sure that it is not tilted forward or backward in the support phase ("sitting running" etc), then hip extension works out ok, and is more a function of your heart/lung capacity rather than conscious technique.ReplyDelete
About dorsiflexion before touchdown. I've seen it this way -- the ankle should foremost relaxed, but if there is problem with too steep an angle (= too pronounced forefoot landing) then the foot should be lightly dorsiflexed to find the right position. In my own running, I have been helped to think about this. I've also heard sprinting experts say "the foot should be neutral or lightly dorsiflexed before touchdown".ReplyDelete
If standing still on one leg and letting the leg in the air hang relaxed with the lower leg perpendicular to the ground, the foot will point down in a steep angle, too steep for a proper touchdown. Will the swingback (pawback) of the leg prior to touchdown cause the relaxed foot to lift enough to make touchdown at a suitable angle? I've thought that the answer to that is generally "no", so there may be a need to adjust the angle with dorsiflexion. What do you think?
I realize that landing a too steep an angle could be "active reaching with the foot" and adding active dorsiflexion to that would be to cancel out one tension with another, when relaxation should be the goal. However, I do think that some people can succeed with ankle relaxation so well that the foot point down too much.
I should also mention that I like my forefoot landings to be very flat, near midfoot (or actual midfoot in shoes with heel buildup). I think that the forefoot landings I've seen in many recent barefoot running videos are generally a bit too steep.
- Simon9:04 PM
I totally get the hip extension thing but for the last 6 months, my hip flexors still seem to get fatigued and ache, sometimes right, but usually left. I thought if i just keep focusing on form after a while i would get strong enough and the ache would go, but it has not. I try to run straight and upright with arms, feet. I land basically midfoot - forefoot slight kiss first, under COG, leg bent. I've videoed myself and I look fine! What could be causing this?ReplyDelete
I really enjoy all of your posts and especially this one because I have never had a clear understanding of hip extension. Could you post a file of the EL G photos that you reference or is there a place to buy it? Those pictures are an awesome reference and I would love to have one. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I think I know quite much about running technique, but there's one thing that I have not yet figured out fully. At touchdown, foot under knee (lower leg perpendicular) is a good thing, however, among all those that land with a perpendicular lower leg I can see that there are quite large individual differences how bent the knee is at touchdown. Some land with a quite straight leg like sprinters do, while others have quite a lot of bend.
One example of bent knee touchdown is Ryan Hall, while one example of a more straight leg is Haile Gebrselassie.
Of course, with a more bent knee, you will land farther ahead of the CoG. However, perhaps you gain some on loading of the leg. I don't know. How do one know if the bending of the knee at touchdown is ok, or if it should be more straight or more bent?Replies
Anders, have you found the answer to that problem?Delete
If not, find me on Google+: https://plus.google.com/+GeorgeIlie
Because I did and is pretty simple. "CoG" stands for center of gravity, isn't ? How do you know where exactly is?
Rick- Great experimentation with your own running. Your experience echoes one of Tom Tellez' favorite cues, which is to just worry about initiallizing hip extension, then forget about it. So, if you just focus on the piston like initiation, then let it go, you're good.ReplyDelete
Anders- You're right there's a problem with too high or low of an angle. But what you find is that people who plantarflex too much pointing their toe down or dorsiflex too much, it's because they are trying to do it. In general if you just leave the ankle alone it'll go through the range of flexion that it needs to and you'll land in a pretty neutral state. It depends on the person, so there might be some adjustment needed for each individual, but it should be fine tuning, not holding the foot in a dorsiflexed position like is often taught.
Simon- Are you forcing anything? If your hip flexors hurt are you trying to lift your knee or bring your knee through. Even if you look picture perfect, sometime you're actively doing something that occurs pretty much passively. So you might look like other runners with great form, but you're forcing your way to get there. Focus on the part of the stride that seems to make the hip flexors sore and see if maybe you are "trying" when you shouldn't.
Tyler- I'll try and scan the file.
Anders- the bending of the knee at foot strike is going to be dependent partially on where you land in relation to the COG. Additionally, it's going to be speed dependent because the amount of time in the air and vertical displacement plays a role. Pete Larson's site www.runblogger.com has a great post on landing in relation to COG you might find interesting.
- Anonymous9:45 PM
Hey Steve just wondering after you initiate hip extension, do you just let the leg cycle through naturally? I was wondering if you have to actively drive the thigh forward after hip extension or should you just extend the hip and put the foot down to initiate hip extension again.ReplyDelete

Hello, first of all thanks for the great content you provide...ReplyDelete
I've gaind a whole new perspective on running form by reading your blog in the last few days. I'm am sprinter, i run 60m 7.01s, 100m 11.01s, 200m 22.61s(this i do not get why), 400m 49.47s.
This is picure of my running form:
Can You please comment on my running form, my observations are that my knees are too high, my front hand is going too high and is too open.
The thing i do not understand is hip extension i'm not able to figure it out by watching my running...
I think i have errors that limit my speed.. and i would really appreciate any help and comment.
Thanks in advance, best regards-

Thanks for awesome post.ReplyDelete
so what would you suggest I do if my activity type is mostly interval training and I have terrible pain in my tibialis anterior muscles? I have noticed a pattern of increased dorsiflexion in my walking and running forms, but I'm not sure how to go about properly correcting myself.ReplyDelete
Hi, thanks for the detailed description on hip extension. I feel I have been more focused on cadence at approx 180 steps a minute as I feel if I try and extend the hip more my cadence is less. I will try and switch my focus to the hip extension and will the cadence come naturally in time Steve? Thanks again for all the detailsReplyDelete

Sun TV Networks Q2FY14 revenue and PAT were slightly below our estimates, but well below Street expectations. Key positives were: (a) Strong traction in domestic subscription revenue while cable subscription revenue jumped 45% y-o-y, DTH subscription revenue grew 21% y-o-y; and (b) A 29% y-o-y growth in international revenue largely due to rupee depreciation.
Key negatives were ~4.5% y-o-y dip in ad revenue (in spite of low base of 3.8% y-o-y ad growth in Q2FY13) due to market share pressure in non-Tamil markets and Trais diktat of reducing ad duration to 16 minutes per hour till July 2013; and200bps y-o-y fall in Ebitda margin (ex-IPL team) to 73.9%.
Sun TVs subscription revenue will continue to rise, driven by the ongoing digitisation process, but recovery in ad growth will be gradual. Maintain buy.
In spite of strong growth in subscription revenue, Sun TVs revenue growth (ex-IPL team) grew a meagre 6.4% y-o-y due to decline in ad revenue.
In our view, achieving earlier FY14 guidance of 12% y-o-y ad growth looks unlikely due to possible further q-o-q reduction in ad inventory in Q3FY14, high base (ad growth of 17.4% y-o-y in H2FY13) and a meagre 5.2% y-o-y ad growth in H1FY14.

Thomson currently has an application in the area of the thermo-electromagnetics. A further application in the area of `rod laser propagation' will be added to the internal end-users' application suite.
Work so far has concentrated on the mechanism for interpolation between the two meshes used for the problem - the mesh for the electromagnetics problem and the mesh for the thermal problem. This is a key problem in coupling the two physical models. Additionally, different methods for the solution of the resulting systems of equations, including the Conjugate Gradient (CG), Generalized Minimum Residual (GMRES) and Quasi-Minimal Residual (QMR) methods, have been evaluated.
Benchmark problems have also been defined and meshes for these problems have been generated. Tests have been performed with these benchmark problems to validate the sequential version of the code which implements the coupling between the thermal and electromagnetic problems.
