HouseflyScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Aliens have turned you into an ordinary housefly. Your captors will give you $1 million if you will fly toward the windshield of a car coming at you at 60 mph. They guarantee that you will not rupture by slamming into the windshield. Do you take the risk?
AnswerYou do not take the risk. The acceleration of the air up and over the front of the car is so great that it will rupture you (or any insect trying this). Insects rupture before splattering on your windshield.

View Additional Section Content
Supportive and Palliative care is specialized medical care for patients with illnesses that prevent them from doing the things they enjoy. We focus on helping patients with symptoms such as pain, nausea and breathing problems and strive to improve their quality of living. We serve patients with lifestyle-limiting illnesses, including cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dementia, diabetes and neuromuscular disease. Our palliative care team consists of specially trained physicians, nurses, social workers and chaplains who work directly with our patients' physicians to provide an extra level of support and comprehensive, compassionate care. This provides our patients with familiar faces they can depend on throughout the treatment process.
Palliative care is not hospice, and you do not have to be in the hospital to receive palliative care.
We offer outpatient care at Ellis Fischel Cancer Center can help you manage your disease so you can avoid unnecessary hospital treatments and expenses.
Treating the pain and symptoms
We can help relieve symptoms such as pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, constipation, nausea, loss of appetite and difficulty sleeping.
Coordinating care
A person may have several doctors and other health professionals in many specialties overseeing care. With palliative care, you will have one team coordinating your care. We'll work with all those involved in your care - your primary doctor, specialists or hospice program - to provide the best care for you. There will be a familiar face with you and your family throughout your illness.
Helping navigate the medical system
The health care system can be difficult to understand - and even frustrating at times. Let us help you with your concerns about appointments, insurance and more. We will guide you through the system to help relieve the stress of you and your family.
Listening to you
You know how you are feeling and what you would like to accomplish. We will listen to you and help you recognize what your goals are and meet them.
Avoiding unnecessary treatments or hospitalizations
You may make frequent emergency room visits or be hospitalized over and over for the same illness. We can help you manage your disease to avoid unnecessary treatments or hospitalization as much as possible.If you are unable to travel to a clinic, we can come to you - at home, in a nursing facility or a hospital.
Knowing what to expect
Learning about your illness and knowing what to expect in the future can help you be less afraid. We will be with you every step of the way and let you know what your options are.
Making necessary plans
We can assist you and your family with advanced care planning. Planning may include a legal surrogate assignment, living will or do-not-resuscitate order.
Fulfilling your wishes
We consider many aspects of your life - symptoms, medications, diagnosis, family and home situation, faith, personal values, goals and wishes - to help you fulfill your hopes. If, for example, you would like to take a trip to visit loved ones or visit a place you have always wanted to see, we can help you determine the best time and way to do so.
Being there for you
Patients and families often say that our team helps them "find their way" or "feel safe" during a stressful and emotional time. The peace of mind patients and families receive through the Missouri Palliative Care Program is just as important as the medical treatments.

- Category:

A tall clock is an imposing piece of furniture. Built at a time when clocks were usually owned by scientists and the wealthy, the cases were typically ornate. Common people told time by the sun, or the town clock, which was free. While they appear to be rather daunting to build the construction can be broken down into manageable units.
Tall Case Clock (continued)
We will go over the basics of why a clock case is designed the way it is. We will build the case in three sections which can be completely assembled here or left apart to fit in your car or shipping crate. We will cover skills like layout, turning, carcass dovetails, mortise and tenon, making straight moldings, planing, scraping, carving the gooseneck moldings and cutting glass. A clock case is a tour de force of your woodworking skills and will be a family treasure for years to come. You can order movements from www.greenlakeclock.com. You will need to have your dial painted, we can recommend a dial painter to you.
Cost: $1400, includes hardware

Love it!
By Mango kitty
from Surrey, BC
Covers well and doesn't crease much throughout the day. Lasts all day. Goes on well whether you use a brush or your fingers to apply. Best cover-up I've ever tried. You can go with your usual shade, or go up to the next darkest. Love Pur Minerals!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Very nice concealer for my sensitive skin
By C from Thornhill
from Thornhill, Ontario
Very creamy texture, nice coverage for brown age spots, under eye circles etc. I use it under foundation, and it does not iritate my sensitive skin. Just bought 2 in the medium colour, this will be my "go to" concealer.

Nice prod.but crumbled after a bit...
By Jillybeans
from Sherwood Park, Alberta
I purchased this for my niece who has a small acne problem. she was very happy with the coverage and brush and color. However,not long after wearing it, the powder crumbled. I called customer service and after speaking with a supervisor she was happy to replace it and cover the shipping as well. Thanks TSC. jill

creamy smooth
By Beauty at any age.
from Surrey BC
nice creamy light cream,, medium coverage stays in place well
Creamy coverage
By TSC Shopper
from Victoria (BC)
I purchased the concealer in a medium shade. which may possibly be a bit dark for me in the winter, however I did decide to keep it.On application it had a very creamy consistency, provided good coverage but did tend to settle and cake in fine lines.Perhaps I was applying too much so I decided to keep the product and see if I could progress in using it to the point where it will not cake.I would recommend the concealer to others.
( 5 of 6 customers found this review helpful)
By kamloopsian
from Kamloops, British Columbia
First time purchasing this concealer.Will not purchase again. I use another brand not with Shopping Channel and i will continue. Not a GOOD concealer as it cakes and does not conceal.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Former chef tells court he uses cannabis because he 'works hard'
8:00pm Tuesday 25th March 2014
By SNJ Reporter
8:00pm Tuesday 25th March 2014
By SNJ Reporter
A FORMER chef who uses cannabis every day 'because he works hard' was fined £205 for being caught in possession of the drug.
George Davis, aged 19, of Bunting Way, Nailsworth, pleaded guilty to possession of a small amount of the Class B drug at Stroud Magistrates' Court on Monday.
The court heard that Davis was approached by police officers on the forecourt of the Shell petrol station in Stroud Road, Nailsworth, at 1.30am on Saturday, February 22.
According to Teresa Perry, prosecuting, Davis knew he was going to be searched and therefore handed the police a cigarette packet with 0.5 grams of cannabis – worth £5 – inside.
Davis told the court he was a regular user of the drug and smoked cannabis every two days because he 'worked hard'.
He was ordered to pay a £100 fine, £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.

Cashing in on that notoriety is what any athlete does to fatten his or her bank account. In fact, Datsyuk has done deals with Reebok.
Problems can arise when deciding what deals to cut and with whom. That's what Datsyuk now faces regarding a Facebook page that, until this past month, sent Datsyuk fans looking to buy his gear to a website called PashaSportsWear.com.
The site is down for now. A lawsuit asks a judge to keep it that way while deciding whether shirts such as one with Datysuk's No. 13, and others, are authorized merchandise.
Datsyuk himself would not comment for this story but his attorney sent this statement:
"Despite continued and best efforts to amicably resolve the matter, the lawsuit was brought to address continued infringement of Mr. Datsyuk's name and celebrity and to prevent continued deception of the public."
The contention is Pasha Sports Wear is cashing in on Datsyuk without his permission or giving him any of the profits.
There have been ongoing negotiations to settle this case for months. However, it hit an impasse which is why it's ending up in court.

Did you know there are more than a 1000 different species of bats? Oakland Zoo has two of the largest species, the Island Flying Fox and the Malaysian Flying Fox. Both are diurnal fruit eating species and as the names suggest, they come from the Islands of Malaysia and Indonesia. Caring for species from all over the world means that many of them are not adapted to our Bay Area weather, so days that feel warm to us, may feel chilly to tropical or desert animals. Days that are cold for us, may feel warm to arctic or high altitude animals.
Flying Foxes are no different; their bodies are adapted to warm, humid, tropical weather. They find our summers pleasant, but winters are just a touch too cold for them! To combat this problem, zookeepers maintain large night quarters which are kept at a constant 75 degrees. This way, our bats are kept warm and comfortable no matter what the Bay Area brings us. However, bats also love sunshine (who doesn't!) and spend a great deal of their daylight hours outside basking during the summer. In the winter, they are frequently unable to go outside even on sunny days due to the cold temperatures. If Measure A1 passes, the zoo will be able to provide outdoor heating sources for the bats in the winter, so they can bask in the sunlight and stay toasty warm no matter how cold it is outside. The zoo will be able to provide the best of both worlds and maintain a high standard of care and welfare.
Please consider voting "Yes" on Measure A1 on November 6th.

AMD Teases Next Enthusiast GPU: Still 28nm, 23% Smaller Than GK110by Ryan Smith on 9/18/2013 11:00 AM EST

DanNeely - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkSince the new GPU is coming out in Q4 of this year it still being 28nm isn't that surprising.
I'm wondering what it says about their plans though. Earlier in the year when the 8xxx oem rebadging was announced it was said we wouldn't be getting a real new GPU until mid next year when TSMC 20nm was expected to become available.
That has me wondering if this launch is an indication that TSMC's 20nm process is having problems and will be delayed and this is is what they've chosen to launch instead of waiting. Alternately, was the size of the performance bump nVidia got with GF110 and the 7xx refresh significantly larger than expected causing them to release this as a stopgap instead of yielding the performance crown for another half year. Reply
Jumangi - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkOh I think is plainly obvious TSMC is having more of the same problems getting 20nm going just like it took them forever to get 28nm up to respectable levels. As these processes get lower it looks like it will be longer between jumps. Reply
Wreckage - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkThey may have spent most of their resources developing for the consoles. This may be a hint at their exit from the high end similar to their CPUs. I doubt they will have a GK110 killer on their hands with 28nm. Reply
Goty - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkJust like GK110 wasn't a big step over GK104 just because it's on the same manufacturing process.
Oh, wait. Reply
Hector2 - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkTSMC has never met their predicted process schedules and new production-worthy processes always come out at least a year behind schedule. It's just a marketing attempt to get people to wait for something that supposedly "just around the corner". It's always much easier to change a number on a Powerpoint slide than to actually change the process --- especially now that we're below 22nm Reply
Frenetic Pony - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkWell, TSMC 20nm already doesn't offer much of anything in improvement in the way of power/performance and isn't any cheaper. The only improvement would then be more silicon per mm squared. We already know Apple signed a big contract for 20nm, so my guess is AMD decided they'd rather go 28nm and get it out in time for Christmas than wait 4+ months for little gain. Reply
Da W - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkA wild guess here, we can expect GCN 1.1 with may be 5-10% performance improvement. Some sort of architecture optimisation kinda like we saw from fermi to keppler.
With a 23% smaller die than Titan, maturing process and probably a 1.1Ghz clock, this would put Hawaii at par or slightly above GTX780. My guess is that AMD went for higher power consumption improvement rather than pure performance.
Anyhow, this will be the best card for an eyfinity setup, without microsuttering issues. Reply
purerice - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkAgreed, though you may have dropped a t in microstuttering. I hopefully won't have to upgrade for a year or two but it's nice to see this. I am not a fan of either AMD or nVidia so I want both to keep pushing the other, even if in incremental improvements. Reply
Frenetic Pony - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkIt's been 2 years, I've heard they're calling this an actual new architecture (GCN 2.0) rather than a refresh. Which means their plans would have changed a lot since earlier this year, which is what this article seems to imply anyway. Reply
Sabresiberian - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkAbove GK110? I hardly think so, unless there is a lot more improvement in the "maturing process".
Don't get me wrong, I'd love for it to be true - we need the competition to stay alive in the GPU space just as it was good for us in the CPU space - but I have serious doubts. AMD's current single-GPU solution is far below the GTX 780, and it is going to take more than a 10% bump to make them competitive at the top end. Reply
nathanddrews - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkAny indication that they are moving toward some sort of modular design with each tier getting more GCN "cores"?
Perhaps all this investigation into stuttering and such has led to a better method of on-PCB Crossfire, perhaps a method that makes the process transparent to the application? Combined with HSA, that would be sweet... Reply
MrSpadge - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkGPUs have already been highly modular since a long time. If you need more performance you essentially simply scale the number of building blocks. Reply
nathanddrews - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkFor lack of better terms to describe it, I'm referring to building up to a larger chip rather than scaling down from a larger chip. Reply
Cow86 - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkFor this to be really as exciting and efficient as AMD is touting, this has to beat GK104 in performance/die size...and also performance/watt. I'm wondering however if they just mean they come close to Titan with 23% less die size...
There are still far too many unknowns though, like how much compute Hawaii would have (GK110 is a compute monster afterall, which is also a big reason for the large die size). Here's me hoping AMD wins this round, even if it isn't by much...Can't imagine it being a huge win if they're staying on 28 nm afterall, but I'll take a marginal one. Reply
The Von Matrices - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkRemember, some of Titan and GTX 780 is disabled from the full GK110 die, so just comparing die sizes isn't the full story. You need to consider the amount of die space that is actually enabled on those chips, and then you'll find that AMD is comparable. Reply
HighTech4US - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkWhy is AMD only comparing die size and not performance?
Who cares about die size it performance that counts. Reply
Ortanon - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkI doubt they'd be comparing the die size if performance wasn't comparable. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkI think that's a stretch. AMD and NVIDIA always have different strengths in terms of gaming, but I don't think AMD is really planning on eclipsing Titan. More likely is that they're aiming at the GTX 780, which of course has 384 fewer cores (two disabled SMXes) than Titan and at stock speeds ends up being about 10% slower. The law of diminishing returns is of course in full effect, so getting that last 10% (e.g. with Titan) costs a lot, and I don't think AMD is planning on going after the $1000 GPU market. Hopefully AMD comes in at around $500 again and brings NVIDIA's GTX Titan/780 prices down to a more reasonable range. Reply
superjim - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkA second coming of the 5870 (or even 9700 Pro) would be nice. $380 for current-$500 performance. Reply
imaheadcase - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkDo you guys have one in house yet? Or do you normally get them just a few days before release? Reply
dylan522p - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkNDA. They can't say shit. Reply
imaheadcase - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkYes they can, they have said before if they have one. NDA is for performance related stuff. Reply
JlHADJOE - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkAn NDA can be for anything. It really depends only on the two parties involved. Reply
surt - Sunday, September 22, 2013 - linkHowever, after the first time they say that, the next NDA says you can't disclose the existence of the NDA. Reply
MrSpadge - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkBecause it's neither a launch nor an official introduction yet, just a small tease in some interview.
And die size does count, because it determines how low the price of a chip can be. If AMD offers similar performance with a smaller chip than nVidia expect some agressive pricing. The other way around - not. Reply
haukionkannel - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkYep. we don't actually need another 1000$ GPU to compete with Titan. So if this is about same size as 7970, then the price will be guite the same when 7970 did come out 500-600$ Dependin on how good it will be compared to Nvidia 780. Reply
eanazag - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkDie size and process technology are important to Forbes readers (investors). If it was to be a GPU performance talk, why go to Forbes?
That being said; smaller die likely means less power and heat which is a good thing to me for a GPU. AMD just needs to break even on performance or even be negative in 3% or less range with the 780 and it's a win. It could end up being a play like Nvidia did previously by dropping the compute strength down.
No matter what. It is time to release something even if it is just a little better than 7970. I can't stand rebranding. It irks me. Reply
Ammaross - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - link@HighTech4US: "Who cares about die size it performance that counts."
Because die size is directly related to chip costs, and thus, retail pricing. Reply
Rick83 - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkWell, not really. Pricing is mostly determined by how many units you can sell, with the hope of recouping R&D and making good profits.
The influence of die size is that you can have more chips ready for a launch in less time, as the time to process a wafer is roughly constant, and especially on a fresh process, smaller dies means more dies that aren't broken (of course by disabling broken bits on a GPU you can relatively cheaply reduce the impact on the total number of functioning dies).
But yeah, at this point die size isn't such a critical metric with regards to cost. On the other hand, it is an interesting metric with regard to total current through the chip, which can be larger, the larger your chip is. Current correlates with power requirements and output, so it's an interesting measure in that aspect.
Just look at GK104 for an example of small die does not equal low retail pricing. Reply
B3an - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkMaybe my next upgrade... I've often got the latest GPU's but lately i've stuck with two 6970's because even at 2560x1600 they run almost everything maxed out still, because almost everything is a console port these days.
This isn't a good thing to me though. I want something to push my system and want amazing graphics, so if it means i have to upgrade my GPU's then so be it. Hopefully the new consoles will push PC graphics and texture resolutions up significantly. I hope these new AMD cards have 4GB RAM. Reply
Da W - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkNew consoles are 7870 caliber. I doubt they will push PC gaming. PC gaming will push PC gaming. Reply
DanNeely - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkProgramming closer to the bare silicon always gives consoles an advantage over an equivalent PC GPU; so they still might be competitive with the best PC graphics next year. Regardless the big gains in PC gaming graphics will probably come in a few years when the XB360 and PS3 are deprecated and developers are able to put all the resources they previously needed to scale down to a 2005 era GPU into maxing out 2015 or 2016 models. Reply
jasonelmore - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkwtf? not even close. it's mobile SOC gpu vs full fledge dedicated, not even close Reply
dylan522p - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkHow is it a mobile SOC? Just because they use 8 mobile cores doesn't make it a mobile SOC. Reply
nunomoreira10 - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linknew consoles will definitely push pc gaming, there are several games that run 1080p and 30fps on the new consoles, push that to 120fps or 1440p and 60fps and you will need 4 times the power, rise some effects like dynamic lights, shadows, aliasing, draw distance and it will kick the hell of the best pc you can make Reply
superjim - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkThe PS4 is actually closer to a 7850 and I agree they won't push PC gaming even it had a GTX 780 in it. Reply
B3an - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - link"PC gaming will push PC gaming" ... no it wont. Look at PC games over the past few years, pretty much all console ports with minor graphical tweaks, if any. Yet the PC version requires superior PC hardware to get the same frame rates as the console version. Theres no dedicated PC games that really push things forward. It's not like when the first Crysis came out on PC and blew everything else away because it was totally designed for PC hardware - those days are gone. We now have to rely on consoles to push things forward.
With all the RAM available to games on the new consoles (around 5GB) i'm atleast expecting to see some very high res textures on both the consoles and the PC ports. Over the next year we will atleast see a big increase in texture res on PC games and the recommended VRAM will shoot up. Look at BF4 for instance, they recommend 3GB VRAM. Reply
airmantharp - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkHilarity, all around. The PC versions are the same games running on engines that have been reworked for years to make use of the extra resources available.
But you are right about the textures/in-game assets. If a console game can use 4GB of RAM for graphics, expect to need 6GB minimum per GPU just to turn the details up- and that's before MSAA or anything else that might jump up the per-pixel memory requirements. I'm not getting a card with less than 8GB/GPU to replace my 2GB GTX670s. I'm shooting for 4k, full details enabled, in a year or two, probably on Haswell-E as well. Reply
Peanutsrevenge - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkLook harder.
Star Citizen will be PC only and designed for high end hardware (dx11 only for starters). Reply
Peanutsrevenge - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkSomething like Star Citizen you mean? :-) Reply
Kevin G - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkGood timing. I just had a Radeon 7970 die due to shipping issues (thank you TSA/US Customs). Reply
jljaynes - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkYou have to remember that some of the most popular games currently are free to play/cheap that don't take top-notch hardware to run - think LoL or Dota 2 Reply
ezjohny - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkHopefully this 28nm GPU could work with the latest AMD 7000 series graphic cards! Reply
ezjohny - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkThis is not the APU, I'm wrong. Reply
Laststop311 - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkPrice is going to be the key thing here. It's pretty much a given its not going to beat the 1000 dollar titan But the Gtx780 is only a tiny step behind titan in performance and it's only 650-700 dollars. It's pretty safe to say this will not beat gtx 780 in performance either. I think AMD is going for a GTX 770 killer. At 400-450 for the GTX 770 if AMD can get a nice 10-15% boost over GTX 770 and price it at the same we will have a real winner on our hands. I don't think we are gonna see the GTX 780 topped tho even though that would be nice. I would love to see the prices fall.
I'm on the cusp of purchasing a GPU for my silent PC build and was gonna pull the trigger on an MSI gamer N770 or MSI Gamer N780 for it's low noise larger fans. If AMD can price these right I may switch to team Red as long as they can get the power consumption under control the 7970 was a freakin hot as hell running hog that was loud. Reply
gostan - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkstill cant play GTA V :( Reply
Da W - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkIf you look at bench there's not that much difference between 7870 Ghz edition and GTX 780, except in a few specific games like total war of Civ. Plus power consumption is alike, temp and noise is higher on Nvidia.
Add to that that GCN is first gen architecture and Keppler is 2nd Gen architecture (fermi improvment). I think with GCN 2.0, smaller but undisabled die, maturing process and cranking up the clock beyong 1Ghz, AMD can beat GTX 780. Reply
evolucion8 - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkI am certainly sure that the new Radeon will beat Titan. Why? As like Da W stated, the HD 7970GHz offers around 10-15% of the GTX 780 in average scenarios while there are scenarios where it can even match or outperform Titan in games like GRID 2, Dirt Showdown, Splinter Cell Conviction etc. So a GPU that will bring over 37% more shaders, with architecture improvements, will be able to be at least 30% or more faster than the HD 7970GHz, putting it on Titan territory or more, specially on general purpose computing aka GPGPU where nVidia still lacking even today with Titan, plus more games are coming with a general purpose computing approach to calculate stuff like hair, which is more suitable with the computing oriented AMD's GCN.

Apache Sling implements a content management system that uses a Java content repository (JCR), an object database, to store its content and OSGi to add functionality and deploy content. It has server-side scripting and can use multiple languages such as Ruby, JSP and javascript.
Sling forms the basis of the Web Experience Management (WEM/CQ) within Adobe's ADEP Experience Services. It is robust and makes Web sites easy to develop and then deploy into production. In addition, it has a system for managing digital assets stored within the JCR. ADEP Experience Services implements Sling using its CRX JCR.
In an earlier post I talked about my experience years ago with a content management built on top of a object database called Userland Frontier. Frontier allowed content to be totally separated from the code and HTML used to implement it. That experience has given me a deep appreciation for Web Experience Management.
Within WEM content is not HTML, but the text, photos and other media used as raw material for Web pages. Content is rendered to HTML when needed based on metadata of the content and the context the content is being viewed. If a person views the content from their desktop computer, the content will be rendered for the desktop computer. If another person views that same content from their smart phone, the content will be rendered for the smart phone. The context drives the way content is rendered, but context is not limited to device type. Content can be rendered for women differently than for men. Or it can be rendered differently for a person in one city than for someone in another. Sling makes this smart rendering of content possible and WEM gives the owner of the Web site the tools to use it.

Discussion in 'Artwork Zone' started by Juke99, Feb 7, 2005.
I was thinking the same thing,theres alot of good work their from everyone
And the best part is, unlike some of the crap that goes on in the other zones around here, everyone is on the same team.
couldn't agree more juke, :beer2: everyone is willing to help out. I would more with tuts but I dont know how to post PS pages here
You can always take a screen capture and post that.
I am going to organize all the tutorials under one thread this weekend.
those are some tight pics. i am new here, and was wondering how to get a sig and an igsignia. tahnx
awesome work guys... anyone be willing to convert some of these to a higher screen resolution? i use 1280x1024, if one of you can hook me up with some wallpapers in that size, id really appreciate it.. if not, totally understandable and thats what I get for using the res. i do... hah
gotta love these wallpapers. awesome.
We have some very talented members...
Oh and btw, I see you're new here...
Welcome aboard.
very cool pics, keep them coming........thanks
Very Very cool thanks for all the pics !!!!!!!!You all are fantastic
Great job !!!!!!!
I'm surprised that we haven't seen any Terrell Owens wallpaper yet. I don't really like the guy, but wouldn't mind having the wallpaper to annoy the Eagles' fans in the office.
Anyone here create or found a good TO wallpaper with a Cowboys theme?
you answered your own questio when you said you really dont like the guy
sweet i love the "Beast of the NFC east" and it is definitely true
Just getting used to this. There's a couple little things wrong with this. I use Photo Suite, Paint Shop Pro 9, Print Shop. I just downloaded Eye candy 4000 plugins.
i made a TO wallpaper
Props On Those Pics Man. Yall Did A Hell Of A Job
anyone know where i can get the pic of all the super bowl trophies and their rings together???
I appreciate all the awesome wallpapers you guys have made or contributed!! By any chance Juke do you think you can add that Romo pic you have at the bottom of your post as a downloadable wallpaper?! Thanks Everyone!!

Preview: Burton Albion v Barnet
11:24am Friday 4th May 2012
By Adam Newson
11:24am Friday 4th May 2012
By Adam Newson
Barnet will this weekend apply their masochistic approach to critical end of season fixtures by putting their fans through an emotional roller-coaster as they try to avoid disappearing from the Football League.
It could be called a cliffhanger. A nail-biting showdown. Or simply the third season in a row when Barnet have left it to the last 90 minutes to scramble to safety. They've succeeded in the last two years.
So Saturday's match away to Burton Albion could confirm they play a very dangerous game - or they've run out of luck.
Bees' fans could be forgiven in asking why their team put them through this agony.
Three seasons in a row could sarcastically be called consistent.
In the nine months since Barnet began their League Two campaign with a win at Morecambe, it's been a turbulent season of missed-chances, faltering displays and, on occasion, matches where the Bees looked anything but a relegation threatened side.
Cynics would argue that parachuting in Martin Allen to offer salvation with only three games to play was a sign of panic. At least Lawrie Sanchez - the man he replaced - thought it was.
A lacklustre 3-0 defeat against Southend United in Allen's first match back was followed by a slightly flattering 4-0 victory for Barnet against AFC Wimbledon.
While the Bees travel to Burton on Saturday, just over 150 miles away Hereford United - the only team that can deny Barnet safety should they lose - take on Torquay United who need a win to keep their chances of automatic promotion alive.
On paper Allen's men have an easier match against a side with little to play for, though he'll be taking nothing for granted at the Pirelli Stadium.
"When it gets to this time of the year anything can happen. Club's up near the top can freeze. They get a bit jelly-legged and the supporters, players and manager get anxious. And teams near the bottom, like us, can come in and steal."
He continued: "I would never say a team's season is over. There are always players who can go into the team who are playing for their futures or for new contracts.
"When you are playing in front of your own supporters you have to give a good account of yourselves. So it is not in any way, shape or form an easy game. Every professional football match is a hard game and Burton will be.
"But we will do our best to prepare properly and hopefully we can put in another good performance."
Bees captain Mark Hughes was involved in last season's final day win over Port Vale.
He knows Barnet must not just rely on results elsewhere and believes every player will be focused on taking the three points.
"Again it is going down to the last day. We knew it would never be easy so what we have to do is to beat Burton.
"We have a two point advantage which puts more pressure on Hereford and keeps it in our hands. But we are not going to be going to Burton hoping for a draw because that may not be good enough."
"So we are looking forward to it now and have to make sure we are well prepared for it."
No matter what happens on Saturday, the most pressing question all diehard Bees fans will be asking on Saturday evening is: 'Why did it come to this once again?'

Awesome boot!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After a season on these I don't think I'll buy another boot. They are fairly stiff but still a tele boot so they make for much more happy feet during long days in the back country having that flex. Haven't had any problems yet.
Best Chargin tele
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I really like the way the ankle buckle sets anchors my heel in place. This boot feels so snug and secure. There are no hot spots or places where my foot ankle etc does not have contact. I feel like this has to do with the quality of the liner and buckle placement but also the plastic. The plastic on these boots is stiff and supple giving a great progressive flex throughout. Bellows are also durable. Excellent performance and very durable overall.
T-Race Tuck's
About to hammer down the snowfields above Tuck's. And my jacket matches my boots.
This boot is the answer to all things telemark. It has a smaller volume/narrower fit that really lets me feel every aspect of the turn, terrain and how the ski reacts. Because the boot is not dual injected in the bellows you get a great, consistent and stiff flex. The flex is progressive and predictable, two very important characteristics and a few less things you have to think about.
The micro adjust buckles let you dial in your fit for the down and open the shells fully for the up. The touring mode really allows a long and unhindered stride while touring.
The flat base/zero rocker makes bindings initiate instantly and with a longer bill than other companies it allows more contact to the wings of the bindings.
The boot is extremely user friendly, don't shy away from it because it says "race"- you will love it no matter how you ski.
T-race Rocks!
I have been skiing on the Scarpa T-race for some time now and this boot has met all my standards. This years has a walk mode, which is nice for certain situations,but for me I prefer putting the lock mode in. This boot is not as stiff as the white and red edition, but still boasts great flex and stiffness for the hard charging tele skier!
Scarpa T-Race can handle it all!!!
Loving Our T-Races as Weston D. and I drop pillows and slay glaciers in BC.
Taking a walk off the deep end
The T-race boots hard at work deep in the Wasatch deep!
Poor design ski/walk mechanism
I bought a pair of T-race boots last year after using the Garmont Ener-G boots for about 1 year. I read reviews on the T-race boots that mentioned "extremely stiff", or even some went so far as to call them "bold." If by "bold" they mean moderately durable and slightly stiffer than garmont, then yes, these are incredibly "bold". For some background, I ride Black Diamond Zealots 192 with 01 bindings (ext stiff cartridge). This is not the biggest setup around but it does require a stiff boot to support it beyond the groomed. Well, I got about three runs on the stiff cartridges before stressing the T-race boots to the point of bending the metal flank within the ski/walk mechanism. The right boot no longer held stiff and Scarpa was kind enough to send me replacement parts. I replaced the flank, and now it wobbles on the pin. I have already ordered BD custom boots from BC.com and have tried them on but not skiied yet. After trying them on, all I can say is, I wish I had gone with Black diamond boots to begin with. I hear last years had bad liners, but that they have fixed them this year. The stiffness feels incredible and the liner is very snug. Oh, and the most important part that I noticed, the flank on the BD walk/ski mechanism is burly. It's not a thin piece of metal that will bend on you if you use stiff bindings. Case in point, if you have big planks, and stiff bindings, DO NOT BUY THE T-RACE BOOTS WITH THE WALK/SKI MECHANISM. You will break them and be without boots for 4 weeks, as Scarpa says. I plan to send my T-race boots back now that I have new BD customs. I just wish I hadn't spent so much learning this lesson. I hope this reaches some of you in time to make a more informed decision. Too many reviews boast about these mediocre boots.
hey nya I started to tele 5 yrs ago (I averaged 75 tele days per year since) on garmont ener G's and 182 K2 workstinx with G3 targa bindings, in 09 i moved up to G3 el hombres with scarpas ntn boots rotafellas bindings and this setup was sick in every way until the boots cracked at the nose (scarpa replaced within 3days) cracked the replacements and scarpa had no more so back to tele norm garmonts but put hammerheads on the hombres and lost all kinds of control everywhere (steeps, pow, groomers you name it) then i got a deal on the white red no walk mode T-race and gained almost everything i lost back except the alpine like edge control from NTN with 1 exception the K2's, then this year i moved up to the 2010-2011 192 zealots like you, but hammerheads again. I ride the T-race on all my boards most of the time but like to break out the garmonts a fair amount to help me progress in the learning process (the garmonts are so soft it forces me to be vary balanced) and the odd thing is, this "softeness" is only true with the hammerhead bound skiis, with the work stinx with the targas, there is vary little difference in feel between the 2 boots and my opinion is the bindings (targas with stiff springs) are not stiiff enough to translate the T-race power to the skiis and consequently i cant tell much diference except the garmonts are more comfortable, and my guess is the BD 01 though a little stiffer than the targas are not that close to the hammerheads (ive tried a couple pair of 01's that were friends skiis 1 of which had the stiffer springs) my point to all this bs is the zealots especialy the 192's are bad MF skiis and T race's are the same (white and red that is im hearing the black and red's are softer) and need hammerheads or possibly bishops (although i have not had the pleasure to ride em yet) if i were you, id keep the garmonts and seek a kill deal on white and reds they are sa-weet, enjoy the zealots...wow! and have fun brother PS broke 1 of the T-race power straps the other day, die cast metal buckle broke, geez scarpa !
Eric, I already ended up going with the BD customs and it's night and day my friend. Night and day. The stiffness of the BD customs versus the Scarpa T-race (black & red of course. Haven't tried the candy canes) is similar to fixed heal versus snowbard boots. I'm exaggerating only slightly here. I feel as though I can fold my scarpas from the cuff down to the toe when I flex them. Coming from an alpine race background, if I can stress a boot enough to bend my ankle then it's a junk race boot. I wouldn't rag on Scarpa other than the fact that they call this boot the friggin T-Race! Like it's a race boot or something. It's not though. I hear ya on the hammerheads, and I wish I had gone for those in part because they are cheaper than my BD01s and because they have 6 screws on the toe pieces instead of 4 on BDs. I think the hammerheads are considered without a doubt to be the best binding out there. I had these 01s laying around though and basically brand new without a ski to mount them on until I got the Zealots. At any rate, with these new BD customs, I don't notice any loss of energy in the bindings when I turn. I am at peace now in my turns, while before with the T-races it was like I was fighting something every turn. I could feel pressure on my ankle, probably because it was taking the brunt of the force from my binding stiffness. I don't plan on returning to scarpa ever again, but if they work for you more power to ya. Also, I noticed with the BD customs, they have a strong hold on my heel thanks to a more defined achilles grip. No more do I feel the heel slip when I turn. Just another thing I noticed with the change.
I use these boots for a living. I'm a ski patroler and an advid Backcountry skier. I had these boots for one season and that's how much they lasted. The new liners are uncomfortable and they are cold. The bellows are shot and are really loose on me even with stiff bindings. I usually can go through a boot every two years but these ones only lasted one year. Not a durable boot.
They do 'wear out' fast but I've now postholed 2 14ers and a slew of 13ers and was able to rig crampons to them. They are comfortable on the way up. That said. My top buckles bent after the first season and the snap in plate keeps coming out. Its been 7-8 years now though and I still use them. Just treat it like an Ak-47 and hammer that stuff back into place.
I love these boots
Bought the boots last season for resort skiing. Have been using T-2's for many, many years and decided to relegate them for the backcountry and use the race exclusively at resorts. They are great on ice, hardpack, and even powder, but of course stiff in the bumps. Did have a problem with the walk/ski mode not functioning, for some reason when the temp dropped below 20 degrees one of my boots would not stay in ski mode, but even in walk mode the boots worked ok. Sent the shells back to scarpa and problem I hope is fixed-will know in about a month or so! Thanks scarpa!
new t-race
I have owned T2's, T1's (lady's), and T-Races (both Candycane and the new Red). This is hands down the best if you're into skiing hard and still want a walk mode. The walk mode is improved over the T1 walk mode from a couple years ago. I haven't had issues with it going into walk mode on its own. The new tongue-style liners have a snugger fit around the ankle IMO. The ankle buckle is an improvement for sure over the ratchet-style buckle of years past. I think the pebax is softer than the previous plastic. My duckbills seems to have gotten "chewed up" quicker than previous boots. I do tour in these as well as ski resort, so the walk mode is nice to have. I found these to fit narrower than the T1's.
Fantastic boot!
I am now on my second pair or T-race's (the first were the white and red model). This is an amazing boot, I wore my last pair all day everyday for the last 2 winters. Somedays I wore them for 13 or 14 hours a day without ever having to take them off. I will say that the one down side is that it does seem a little bit softer then the previous model, I am not sure if this is due to the walk mode of the new shell material. I have been meaning to switch out the power blocks and see if that makes a difference. For as long as I tele ski I will always use Scarpa and as long as they are making the T-race I will be using them. Great product!
the best telemark boot i have ever used.
i have been skiing on the old t 1's (black and yellow) for 15 years. I really liked them. I tried the BD Push and custom (uppers too wide for my skinny calves), the T 2 eco (way way too soft for me), and the new T 1 nice but a bit soft (i am sure it is a great book but the T race is better for me).
I bought the T race's this week and have skied on them for 2 days now. They fit much better than my old T 1's (even with the updated liners i bought 5 years ago). The T Race is the best telemark boot there is. If you don't believe me than check Telemark magazines review. i did and i am very happy i followed the advice.
Love the turn...
Love the turn...
Good, but softer than candycanes
The newest T-Race is again a powerful, stiff boot for driving big skis with powerful, active bindings. It's definitely more versatile for touring with added range of motion in the cuff than the previous candycane (red/white T-race model, 06-09). The new red T-Race has better buckles and improved power strap, but I did prefer the classic (overlap-style) precision high liner to the new Intuition (tongue-style) speed pro liner.
The old candycanes are stiffer than the 10/11 red/black model. Scarpa claims their powerblock tour mechanism provides upper cuff flex in tour mode, but locks the cuff for downhill ripping. Even when locked down in ski mode, the powerblock allows some play and more thus more flex in the upper cuff. This essentially makes the newest T-Tace the same as the newest T-1 (if you're trying to decide between the two). The pebax plastic in the newest T-Race seems softer than the candycane model.
If you're upgrading from candycanes and want similar stiffness, swap your old red candycane (non-walk mode) post with the new powerblock tour modes. (see pic showing the result)
Walk and Rock!
The lines are blurred between resort, backcountry, frontcountry and sidecountry skiing. If I want to do a little of everything, in the same day, in the same boot, I can. This is high performance stability and control for taking the tele-turn to this next level everyone keeps talking about. Now with the walk mode you can tour all day and keep up. This boot is a little bit softer than the white/red T-race or else I would give them a full 5 stars.
What sizes share the same shell size as the 28.0, 27.5 or 28.5?
The 28.0 shell would be a 27.5/28.0.
Hi Buying for Australia. Got the T2 Eco...
Buying for Australia. Got the T2 Eco last season. Loved them. Better than my old bumblebee T1s. Wearing 29 in everything Scarpa (T2s, T3s, T4s, T1s) will the new T1/ TRace fit same sizing? Worried the TRace is a bit narrower?? Want the TRaces - Why get less control? But have wide problem feet. Can't try them on here. Anyone have any experience with past sizes - T1 to TRace shift?
Mr. Poopypants
Well, they arrived a while back and fit nicely. If anything, a tad wider than the old T1s and the eco T2s. Just a bit looser in the toes, but basically the same size. And they are red! Looking forward to our season starting in June.
The scarpa sizes are uniform throughout the models. I have pretty wide feet as well and the Scarpas fit well. They come with an intuition heat moldable liner so if you mold them to your feet they should work fine. Might want to go to a retail store to try them on first just to be safe.
Thanks. Ended up same size. The T Race is a little looser in the heel, spacer under the orthotic should fix it.Yes, fitted by good fitter. They feel like they have a lot more forward lean than my T2 Ecos or old T1s, quite a bit more thigh burn. Got to say I prefer the T2s, although the TRace is obviously more powerful. Not convinced I like them, yet. Got another ten days booked in from next week. Should sort it out.
I'm interested in the new Scarpa T-race...
I'm interested in the new Scarpa T-race telemark boots. How difficult is it to heat mold their intuition liners? Is that something I can do at home? Thanks, Stan
It's quite easy to do at home, or you can go see a professional bootfitter if you don't want the fuss. Do some googling on DIY baking liner videos, instructions.

WSDOT closes SR 20/North Cascades Highway for the winter
OKANOGAN – The gates are closed until spring on the North Cascades Highway.
Nearly two feet of new snow and several snowslides, coupled with a weather forecast calling for more snow through the Thanksgiving weekend, prompted the Washington State Department of Transportation to permanently close the cross-state highway today, Nov. 20.
Crews temporarily closed the highway at noon Monday, Nov. 19, when snow began falling at the rate of more than two inches per hour, causing three snowslides.
"By this morning, we had 19 to 20 inches of new, heavy, wet snow," said Twisp maintenance supervisor Don Becker. "That brings the total on the shoulders of the highway to 38 to 42 inches, and it only takes 2 to 3 feet of snow to fill up the avalanche chutes."
Slides below the Liberty Bell avalanche chutes, just east of Washington Pass, dumped snow on the highway – the largest was 14 feet deep and 50 feet wide. Below the passes, heavy rain caused mud, rocks and trees to spill across the road.
"It's just not safe for our crews or the public to be up on the highway," Becker said.
Last year, the highway closed temporarily on Nov. 15 and for the season on Nov. 21. The 37-mile winter closure zone begins seven miles east of Diablo Dam at milepost 134 on the west side of Rainy Pass (elevation 4,855 feet) to nine miles west of Mazama at milepost 171 below Washington Pass (elevation 5,477 feet).
Last spring, the highway reopened May 10. The State Route 20 North Cascades Highway typically reopens between the last week in March and the first week in May. The earliest opening was March 10, 2005. In 1976, a drought year, it remained open all winter.

|Great Route, must do for the grade! I thought the crux was near the start,about 10-15 ft up, when you have to enter the crack past the little slabby part.Just throw in some pro, and go! The variation to the left near the top is veryfun (6). Enjoy!

The route was pretty good, but I've done better climbs at the grade.
You need two ropes to rapp off of the anchors just right of this, but you can walk well to the North out under a bridge and to a point of rock and find a set of bolt-anchors that allows for one rap on a single 50M rope.

|The crux is a few moves after the start and the crack takes pro very well. The climb eases after that until you reach the last 20' where you can choose a 5.7 finish to the left or a 5.9 finish slightly to the right. You are at a soolid stance to place pro before you start either finish. However, the 5.9 finish involves a short sequence of 5.9 moves, so be strong enough to stop and place gear or power through the section w/o falling. The rock below you here is low angled. The 5.7 finish involves a hand crack.

If this route were anywhere else besides Joshua Tree, say for example Colorado, more people would agree on it being a three star line. If I were on a desert island and could have only one climb, would this be the one I'd take with me? No. But, thinking of all the other areas where I've climbed I'm going to call this spade a spade: three stars.

First climbed this almost 3 years ago; still somewhat physical moves on the first third despite my much increased teckneek now (ahem). Still had a foot slip off during the crux move but pulled right through (don't remember how, it's a blur you know).
The 5.9 exit variation is thin and steep, so make sure to bring some small nuts and super small cams. Beware of Z-clipping here if you put a couple pieces close together.

|As of 6/25/11 there is a hive of very aggressive (africanized?) bees 15-20 feet back from the top of the climb. When I topped out and saw them, I set a directional and belayed from in front of the big boulder, figuring it would offer sufficient protection. After a few minutes of belaying, they found me and started swarming. I did my best not to provoke them....that is, until the first sting. After that, I unleashed a furry of obscenities and swinging rope. Unfortunately, my highly tactical defenses were ineffective and I got stung twice more. After continuous cries of "are you ok" and "up rope" my partner finally topped out. The bees left her alone, so maybe they only like dark skin?? A couple of them were agro enough to follow me all the way down the rap back to the base....where they met sweet death.

Greasy at the crux.
Get pro before starting into the fist crack about twenty feet up to avoid hitting the block that the climb starts off of if you blow it. A #3 Camalot is perfect.

|Only had one #3 camalot - wish I had at least two. Walked it up several times in the lower section. There's a hidden rail on the left side of the crack in back that must go up at least half the climb. Heck of a lot easier with that. Really cool climb, but the fact that the whole area is always mobbed takes away some of the experience.

Easy enough (felt 8+ based on routes in WA) but the crack was hard on the hands, and especially the inside of my left forearm as I was laying back on the crack on the inside of the left side of the crack. 10ft up there is a tough part that you have to push through to get onto the main crack. I was asking for a tight belay as the rock is super rough, and the idea of taking a fall sounded - unpleasant.
Ed did a great job leading it, so I got lots of breaks to clean gear. I was a bit sketched out due to exposure by the end but did well.
It was definitely more fun than nearby Dung Fu.

Very slippery climb in places. Chris D's advice about placing a #3 Camalot in the crack above the crux undercling was spot on, but ended up blocking some of the more solid jams needed to squeeze through that crux. I don't know how I ended up getting through that greasy part of the climb, but it wasn't pretty. Crux is definitely the first 20 feet.
I was a little bit disappointed by the sudden change in character of the climb about half way up. It turned into a blocky chimney with pro being placed more sporadically. Despite this, and though the line is not as pure a crack line as something like Double Cross, it still gets three stars in my book because of the length. The final crack that heads left at the end has the most beautiful jams on the climb, in my opinion.
Recommend bringing two #3s and a #4 Camalot; the crack gets a little wide in the middle and has an awkward (for placing pro) break in the width towards the back of the crack. I didn't bring a #4 and ended up placing a #9 BD hex, which I wasn't too sure of.
As others have said, this is a 5.8 anywhere else. It's Joshua Tree. So I'll call it a 5.7 (though, to be fair, this climb is significantly harder than other 5.7s I've done in the park- e.g. Lazy Day or Double Dogleg, which I thought were quite a bit easier than this).

|I thought going right at the alcove was the standard route, based on watching the group ahead of us. That crack seemed tough, so I traversed back left on some face holds. Fun top out!

|Climbed this route last weekend. I thought it was a great climb and an excellent example of JT crack climbing (one foot in and one foot out). I am used to climbing Red Rock NV, so I might not have the comparisons down completely. This felt way harder than any 5.7 I have ever done. I guess what my partner told me is true..."In JT, the first 20 feet don't count".

The guidebook my partner had (thinner one with yellow) called this 5.7 and had you going up the crack just to the right at the finish. Looking at everyone's comments, sounds like I did the 5.9 variation instead? It definitely felt pretty strenuous in the end and felt harder than the undercling crux area.
Anyways, great climb. Definitely kicked my butt as a new trad leader. Lower crux and definitely the finish (the way I did it) felt harder than Dappled Mare 5.8. The middle section was a nice rest. Like others have said, wish I had 2 #3 camalots, ended up making do with a hex and slinging a horn in the middle. Was pretty physical for me.
The rappel to the right of it just made it with a 70m rope. Make sure you tie your ends!

|While being lowered the pressure from my foot pushing off the rock kicked off a bowling ball sized rock on the left side of the climb, about 40 feet up.

After seeing some comments about big gear I carried up a BD #3 and #4; biggest cam I placed was one #2 :P I was worried about saving the big gear for when I needed it -- I did end up using the #3 as part of the anchor -- but got by on nuts and hexes (I placed 5 of the 7 BD hexes I brought up). There are great passive placements in the smaller cracks on the sides of the big crack that is this climb.
Agree the crux about 20 feet up entering the wide crack in the small roof felt harder than other 5.7s at JTree. However, putting my arm into the wall up to shoulder found a great hand or fist jam (don't remember now).

|Just led this again today, and I still think that it is harder than 5.7. I did the 5.9 variation at the top, and I believe that the lower crux was harder than the 5.9 part. However, I also believe that it is a fantastic route! Just make sure that you are a solid 5.8 leader before you try it.
