Yes any sugar is going to accelerate microorganism growth, so you have to add hydroquinone or other bacteriostatic agents to check this. >We have ignored the >advice in our lab experiments, but we really haven't seen any differences >in those with sucrose and those with none. Some species have plenty of native carbohydrate to supply the respiration needs of the flowers. Others lack this endogenous supply, so external sources are needed to extend vase life. Almost all the packets given to people who buy flowers at a florist contain a carbohydrate and a bacteriostatic agent. >Can you give any specific >advice on concentration? Each flower species should be tested to determine the optimal dose through a dose response. That in itself makes an instructive experiment. It ties in with the respiration process, and ultimately to osmosis and water relations, and also to the concepts of optimum, luxury, reserves etc. Maybe for one species the distilled water control lasts just as long! In my own research on Gaillardia, I used 0.05 M sucrose. This was the lowest concentration that permitted full growth of filaments in vitro in a natural time-frame. >Some have suggested putting aspirin with it to >prevent bacteria. Some people have said that, and others say it also impacts ethylene biosynthesis...though I'm not clear about which way. Literature on "voodoo" lily shows salicylic acid stimulating ethylene biosynthesis. This could be a direct or indirect effect...? Aspirin is a derivative of salicylic acid, so it could block that process as a competitive inhibitor? It would be good to ask Jack Sacalis or George Wulster at Rutgers about their findings with carnations and any effect of aspirin on ethylene biosynthesis. Hydroquinone I know is bacteriostatic and salicylic acid is not too far structurally from that. >Sorry I'm not looking for this myself in the >horticulture journals, but the nearest library with horticulture journals >is at least 100 miles away (more likely 400) - or in some unknown person's >basement. I'm in the same boat! Our library is PITIFUL in terms of plant science. It is the one drawback to ECSU. I'm sure the aspirin question is answered in the literature, but I just don't have resources here to check it out. I have also heard that putting a copper penny in the solution works...presumably by adding Cu ions...it is known that the Ag (silver) ion blocks ethylene action, so a complex of silver nitrate with sodium thiosulfate can prolong vase life [but very impractical!]. It is also known that Co (cobalt) ions block ethylene bio- synthesis. I'm not sure about this copper connection, but copper is an essential cofactor for some enzymes. I wish I knew more... ross ______________________________________________________________ | Ross Koning | Koning at ecsu.ctstateu.edu Biology Department | http://koning.ecsu.ctstateu.edu/ Eastern CT State University | Phone: 860-465-5327 Willimantic, CT 06226 USA | Fax: 860-465-5213 ____________________________|_________________________________ Plant Physiology is Phun! /\|___/\ //\______COOH NH-CH2-CH=C-CH2OH \/OH | | | | | | || //\___ \CH3 /\|/\\/\\COOH \/ \/|\/| \\/ \ / N || N | | /\ | |__|= NH | || || //\//\ | COOH \\ /\ / O COOH H2C=CH2 N NH ______________________________________________________________

Kristy Lockhart needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 111 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
We manufacture and license the use of our patent-pending, hand-applied, polyurethane clear coat (paint renewal product) to companies throughout the world. RestorFX is the name of the actual packaged product.
Hello designers,
We are looking for an internationally recognizable logo for our cutting-edge product. We are positioning ourselves in our market as; the most revolutionary, chemically advanced, cutting edge and we wish for strong brand recognition.
We are open to anything but some elements we would like to see
Use of the mentioned color (blue)
Use of they style "chrome"
'Reflection' of the words RestorFX
Part of the logo to show that the product is actually a 'glossy coat'
The ability to use on a luxury car like Ferrari , to a helicopter, RV or yacht.
The ability to add a slogan like "the most advanced, non-wax, paint renewal system"
2 different fonts used; one for 'restor' and one for 'fx'.
A shield or coat of arms
Our targets:
This logo must be targeted toward not only the 20-30 year old who wishes to become a licensee and start their first business, but also to the franchise chain owner who has distribution throughout the country. This will be a logo that each of the licensees use to promote this product. This is a mainly male dominated market between the ages of 25-65.
What we do:
RestorFX is a revolutionary, hand applied automotive paint renewal system. Developed as a quality alternative to cut/ polishing and repainting, ResorFX chemically adheres to the existing clear coat to permanently restore damaged paint. Unlike today's conventional waxes and polishes are temporary masks that eventually wear off; RestorFX is a permanent professional treatment that is just as durable as the factory clear coat. Adding instant value, just one, few hundred dollar professional application, makes a dulled automobile/RV/boat look factory new.
Who we are:
We are a company loyal to our customers and licensees. We provide both a satisfaction and money back guarantee and will strive to be the most advanced product on the market. Our commitment is one of ethics, trust and quality and we build long lasting partnerships with our users.

Kankakee Shootings Again; One Dead, One Injured in Weekend Gunfire
KANKAKEE -- Two people were shot, one dead, the other critically wounded in separate weekend shootings that continue to plague Kankakee.
Following a Sunday afternoon shooting on N. Taylor Avenue in Kankakee that left a man shot in the head, a second man was found dead in his car at a rural intersection southwest of the city. The dead man was not identified by police. The car he was in was towed from 4500W and 2000 S after the discovery Monday morning.
Kankakee County Coroner Bob Gessner had an autopsy scheduled Monday. No further information about the second shooting was made available from police.
The other man was shot and seriously injured Sunday afternoon, one block north of King Middle School, on Taylor Avenue. He was identified as 27-year-old Jerome Lucius. He was shot in the head and found in the driver's seat of a car parked at a residence.
A press release from Kankakee Police stated Lucius was in very critical condition at an area hospital.
City police investigators and the county Crime Stoppers are asking the public for information about the shootings.
The latest shootings add to the number of gunfire incidents seen in recent months. The Daily-Journal reports there were 13 reports of gunfire in the city of Kankakee from January to March.

Does 'Getting Off' Feel the Same for Men and Women? — Ask Dr. Harry Fisch
"Do orgasms feel the same for men and women?" — Amanda, 21, New York
It's impossible to know with 100% certainty, but the likely answer is "yes."
When asked to describe their orgasms, men and women tend to use the same, or similar words, such as "waves of pleasure in my body." Several studies, also, suggest that orgasms feel the same between the sexes. In one study, 70 judges could not reliably tell the difference between descriptions of orgasms written by men and women.
One reason is probably that the pleasure of an orgasm comes not from the sex organs themselves, but from the release of certain chemicals, such as dopamine, in the brain.
Dr. Harry Fisch is a board certified urologist at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Medical College of Cornell University. Each week, he'll answer reader questions in an effort to get guys to "man up about health."

This Merit Badge is Required
to earn the Eagle Scout Rank
Note that the wording in the Personal Fitness merit badge pamphlet (33286B or 35927) and in Boy Scout Requirements varies slightly, but those variations are insignificant.
We have been informed of an editorial error in the pamphlet, regarding the Strength Tests the Scout must do in requirements 6 and 8. In the text of the pamphlet, and in the current edition of Boy Scout Requirements, the Scout is told to record his performance on all three tests (Sit-ups, Push-ups, and Pull-ups). This was a change made in 2006/2007. In the table on page 72 of the black and white (33286B) pamphlet, and the same table in the color (35927) edition, the table was not changed to reflect the changed requirement, and the Scout is incorrectly directed to do the Sit-ups and either Push-ups or Pull-ups.
For requirement 1a, you can click on one of the
following links to get a copy of the Annual Health and Medical Record (No.
34605). The new form, which may be used immediately, replaces the
former Class 1, 2, and 3 Personal Health and Medical Record Forms, which
will be phased out in 2009. The new form will be required effective January
1, 2010, as well as for the 2010 National Scout Jamboree. The new form is
designed to be filled in and saved on your local computer and then printed
out on either 8 1/2" x 11" or 11" x 17" sheets.
Form 34605 - suitable for printing on 8.5 x 11 sheets
Form 34605 - suitable for printing on 11 x 17 sheets

Turkish Drama 'Winter Sleep' Wins Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival
CANNES, France – Enthusiastic fans turned up in droves on the palm-lined Croisette to catch a glimpse of a glamorous handful of red carpet attendees that included "Pulp Fiction's" Quentin Tarentino, Uma Thurman and Michael Madsen, making their final strut up the red carpet. Inside the Palais, emotions ran higher than usual on the closing night ceremony of the 67th annual Cannes Film Festival, which came to an end on Saturday night.
The jury, presided by director Jane Campion, came up with more than a few surprising choices, beginning with the unexpected Palme d'Or winner, "Winter Sleep," by Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Set in the picturesque snowy steppes of Cappadocia, the film, which runs almost three and a half hours, is a moving and masterful portrait of an Anatolian hotelier and his strained relationships with his family.

Michigan medical device spinoff Tangent Medical Technologies awarded sweeping patent for new IV catheter
The good news keeps coming for University of Michigan medical device spinoff Tangent Medical Technologies, Inc..
After receiving Food and Drug Administration approval for its NovaCath short peripheral intravenous catheter and closing on an $8.6 million round of funding, the company announced Wednesday the issuance of a U.S. patent for the new device that covers a range of incorporated technologies.
Angela J. Cesere | AnnArbor.com
The patent is officially assigned to the University of Michigan, but through a licensing agreement Tangent Medical holds exclusive worldwide rights to the intellectual property.
Tangent vice president for sales and marketing Curtis Bloch said the patent reinforces how impressive the technology is that the company has been developing.
"If you look at how broad the patent is, it speaks to the fact that there are many novel features to this device," he said.
" These [IV catheters] first came to market in 1957 and since then no one has thought to turn the fluid path internal to the device. Every big company keeps making these devices with straight fluid paths. Here's a small innovative company that says 'why are we doing that?'"
The next step for the company is to commercialize the product and begin to distribute it to hospitals around the country. Bloch said the company is currently scaling up production and will officially commercialize it in the first quarter of 2013.
"We are experiencing strong customer demand for the product right now, and we are engaging hospitals and developing a prioritization list," he said.
"What I think is that we're going to be overwhelmed with demand."
Courtesy Tangent Medical
"There are over 350 million sold in the United States alone," Bloch said.
" About 80 percent of people who visit the hospital in an outpatient setting or who are admitted are going to receive a short peripheral IV catheter. These are a high volume disposable item."
The device has progressed quickly from the University of Michigan Medical Innovation Center to commercialization, a process that took about 40 months. Bloch said the product development life cycle at multi-billion dollar companies could be nearly that long.
"They went through developing the technology, forming the company, designing the product, getting venture backed funding, bringing on the leadership team they have, and getting the product to commercialization in 40 months," he said. "It's exceptional."
Even with that long list, Bloch left off receiving FDA approval for the device and acquiring the patent for the intellectual property.
Two of the major technological breakthroughs that make NovaCath unique and are central to the patent are the internal 180-degree fluid path turn and the stabilization abilities of the device.
"When you show nurses the technology and you show them that the external j-loop is gone, the first thing they all say is, 'why didn't I think of that?'" Bloch said.
"It's great because it saves them and the patient so many hassles."
The stabilization technology is intended to prevent the needle from moving around inside a patient's vein once it is inserted. Bloch said stabilization has been a big focus in hospitals for the past five years and that industry trade groups have been emphasizing it as a necessity.
Increased stabilization means decreased patient discomfort.
Bloch said he will be traveling across the country in the coming weeks and months pitching the device to major hospital systems. He said the process for implementation of new IV catheter technologies in hospitals can be four to six months, so he wants to try to start as soon as possible.

Too bad Obamacare will slap a heavy medical device tax on these fine young business and humanitarian types!
Thu, Dec 13, 2012 : 6 p.m.
What happens when a patient pulls it out themselves? It looks like it would do a lot more harm than a standard IV. You will always have patients who intentionally pull out their IV or get confused and pull it out. Has their been a safety study? When I was a resident at the VA hospital, I saw a trail of blood leading down the hallway, so I followed it. I found a wheelchair bound patient, whose IV line got tangled around the axle of his wheelchair and he was stuck because he couldn't move his wheelchair any further and he was bleeding on the floor. Accidents happen all the time with IV's. Is this one as safe as the standard ones?
Fri, Dec 14, 2012 : 4:40 p.m.
I jerked out an IV once, but never again. I never saw a stream of blood squirt so far. The pump pressure was impressive.
Thu, Dec 13, 2012 : 5:16 p.m.
Hooray! I hope this will be not only safer,but a more comfortable device!! I hate having IV's...and I've had a few over the years. So I really hope these will be better!!

- 2/6/18
Watched in its entirety,and was impressed.Maybe not to everyone's taste,ear many complain of Prisoner Of Zenda-like scenes,but they were good,and I liked Jack Lemmon doing double duty-he was hilarious,esp with General Kuhster!Ross Martin a formidable villain,more evil than the crooked Prof Fate,this guy was total evil!
race against..and with time.

- 1/5/18
when this story came out.. times had changed. lot of people thought this was silly.. meaningless.. fluff. now..in this franchise..fast car crash of garbage movies and people getting paid so much..this should look a whole lot better now.

- 3/15/17
Watched yesterday, staying with the entire film, and really enjoyed it. Tony so much more tolerable than Some Like It Hot, Jack is hilarious in both roles. Peter Falk great, everyone deserved praise for their work. Yes, it maybe should've been 2 hrs long, but loved the scenes with Jack as the prince and Ross Martin was terrific!
Maybe Too Long,But Enjoyable

Don't care what anyone says,this had great actors and seemed a lot of fun.Even some stars not associated with comedy contributed to the yucks.Hope it plays more frequently,it is a hoot.Great to see Jack & Tony with Natalie & Peter!And Macready in a comedy is a revelation,esp since he was really coming into Peyton Place about that time!Loved him as the cranky Martin Peyton,just love him anyway,he was a nice dude,too bad he and most everyone else is gone that worked in this film!
Nice Story Jack
- Anne
- 9/22/16
Just wanted to comment of Jack's memory of this movie -- and of going to this movie. Super positive in spite of what happened, and fun. But while I am here, my family visited Warner Bros in the summer of 1964 and saw a bit of this movie being made. There was a kind of a hubbub down the street - with old cars -- and I remember my parents saying "there's Keenan Wynn" -- for me, no clue of course. We also dropped in on the set of "Two on a Guillotine" and met Dean Jones and Connie Stevens. But I mainly wanted to comment on a good memory -- a good movie can best even getting beat up.
The Great Race
- Jack Rowley
- 9/21/16
I walked to downtown Pittsburgh from the north side with a friend when I was 11 to see this movie at the Warner Theater on Fifth Avenue. We got mugged along the way and I arrived with a fat lip and less money than when I started out.In spite of all this, we thought it was the funniest movie we had ever seen. Every scene with Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk made us laugh even weeks later. When my friend and I would see each other in the hallway at school, one of us would say "Next Number 5's engine falls out," and the other would reply "Max. We're Number 5."
Overlong, But It Should Be
- Todd
- 9/21/16
Personally, I've enjoyed this film for many a year. It's nearly impossible to find the great Jack Lemmon playing the villain, and in this one he gets to play bad AND good! The supporting cast makes the film, which admittedly DOES go on for awhile.....as it should. It's a race 'round the world, after all, and shouldn't be zipped through in under an hour. Finding out that Edwards and Wood despised each other (so much so, that he threw a few pastries at her himself off-camera) makes the pie scene even funnier, in context. People have savaged THE GREAT RACE, but I can't see why: it's got everything from slapstick to car chases to romance and sword fights! Great actors in their primes; just lean back, crank Mancini's score, and enjoy the escapism.
The Great Race
- Michael Whitty
- 8/27/16
"The Great Race" had some good intentions and some good comic moments with the man in white vs. the man in black but it turned out to be a big loser with a race from New York to Paris going through Canada and Alaska and Russia and into Europe. The storyline slows down too often as this should have been a 2 hour film instead of 2 and half. Even a good Henry Mancini music score couldn't save this and with a big pie fight too.
great race
- kevin sellers
- 10/28/15
Of all the different types of comedy slapstick is the hardest to sustain over a long period of time, because it does not usually feature interesting characters or involving stories that an audience will want to explore or settle in with. That's why the best slapsticks are no more than an hour, like the Mack Sennet and Roscoe Arbuckle stuff. Any movie that features two hours plus of this purely physical comedy is in deep detritus. And that's exactly where to put "Great Race." Two hours plus of film and thirty minutes of laughs. Tops. Give it a D plus. P.S. Definitely Blake Edwards' worst film. Even "Carey Treatment" is better.
- J.D. Kramer

I was one of the crowd at the World Premere of Blake Edward's THE GREAT RACE!!! My parents took me up to Hollywood for my birthday (July 4th). It was so wonderful to see Tony Curtis arrive in the LESLIE SPECIAL, Jack Lemmon in the HANNIBLE TWIN 8 and Natalie Wood in the STANLEY STEAMER she drove in the film. Of course there was no way to see the film that night, but I did see it back home in San Diego. I still think that it is one of the most enjoyable films ever made. And with time, has rightly grown in stature.
The Great Race
- Goetan
- 2/1/15
Edward's cartoonish tribute to slapstick silent cinema. Curtis and Lemmon are competing daredevil's who try to win a race from New York to Paris with Wood's suffragette in tow. Winning an Oscar for sound effects, the film can have some amusing physical humour, but the film's faults are the length and some moments that stop the film dead. Still, this is a entertaining and enjoyable film. I give it a 3/5.
Never fails to be funny
- Allan Kaplan
- 2/1/15
I saw this with my family back when it came out and was too young to get a lot of the jokes. I saw it again many, many years later and laughed my butt off. Every re-viewing, I am convinced this is one of the funniest movies ever.
Great Race relentless glossy schtick
- nycexpat
- 4/1/14
In a fascinating bit of scheduling TCM just showed The Great Race immediately after The Twelve Chairs. Chairs moved; Race plopped, instead of the reverse. Both are picaresque. Each is by a top comic director: Blake Edwards for Race and Mel Brooks for Chairs. Race is bedecked, bejeweled and anything but bedazzling. It is the epitome of more is less: stars, scenery, costumes, extravaganzas, derring-do, froth, frills and thrills, all about assay is this where the expression 'lead balloon' came from?Actually, it is a little appalling and definitely sad to see all this struggle and excess amount to nothing, to sit and watch it all fall flat. It is like those extreme pastry confections that look great and taste like cardboard.Chairs, on the other hand has variations galore, good acting, wonderful timing and pacing, actual writing. Some scenes are slapstick, but seldom outlive their humorousness. Then there is funny writing, different styles of wit (Dom DeLuise and Frank Langella???) and genuinely dramatic scenes acted by old pros who can provide pathos AND humor. These are not movie stars cavorting on the edge of desperation. Chairs 5, Race 2
Definitive farce!
- RedRain
- 3/29/14
If you look up the definition of "farce," this film should be alongside it. A farce is the "exploitation of improbable situations" and that fits this film perfectly. I view this film each time it is shown and enjoy it even more. The settings are beautiful, the costuming is superb - no wonder it garnered an Academy Award nomination for Cinematography (among four others)! Jack Lemmon is simply terrific in his dual roles as the mad prince/Professor Fate and Tony Curtis, as "The Great Leslie," is in-his-prime gorgeous and excellent in his role. Natalie Wood is stunningly beautiful here and playfully and skillfully acts her role as the suffragette who inserts herself into "the great race," and falls for Leslie in the process. I truly believe a Supporting Actor nomination should have gone to the great Peter Falk who plays Professor Fate's sidekick, Max, as he makes this film move along in so many ways. Yes, it's over-the-top in slapstick but that is what makes you laugh. The pie fight, one of the best four minutes in film, is worth watching the film for. There are far worse films out there to slog your way through but this isn't one of them. You just enjoy the ride here!
feel good movie

I saw it first on the big screen,loved it then and still do. The cast is star studed and Ms.Woods costumes are classic. A feel good family movie.

I Loved this movie since I saw it way back on Television. I love Jack Lemmon's Look Alike he is way Funny and I love the Pie Scene and other Great Scenes from this Movie. I have the Movie on DVD so I watch it once in a while to laugh my HEAD OFF. Great Comedy for Everyone to Rent or Buy.
Highway Hypnosis(1965)
- nshepard
- 4/26/13
Tedious, unoriginal, Actors totally miscast in a boring display of pratfalls, slapstick, and rehashed material mixed in a literally slow moving vehicle, that you can't wait until it ends. Like "Nothing But Trouble Director Edwards misuses and abuses the script (is there one) and the Actors until you can't stand anymore. Find a better film to abuse or is that amuse yourself, this one isn't it. 1.5 stars out of 5.
The Great Waste
- lcs
- 3/30/13
The fatal flaw in this Blake Edwards failure is that you cannot sustain a slapstick live action cartoon for nearly 3 hours. 'Mad, Mad World' accomplished it with good writing and intelligent comic timing by the principals. Watching Jack Lemmon in this almost ruined my appreciation of his other movies, as you see him desperately pull all of his usually effective comic twitches to no effect. This movie would have actually worked better as a real cartoon with the actors dubbing the voices. The only way to sit through it is to watch it drunk. Then you can giggle along with Lemmon.
The Great Stinker
- PaulDavidClub
- 1/11/13
This sad, and very long movie is just not funny. One can easily tell what Blake Edwards is aiming for, but unlike Stanley Kramer's epic comedy tribute to comedy, nothing in this movie works. Literally nothing. Each time I see it (on TCM), I try to find something to like, but not one scene is well handled (and many are downright awful), and as a whole it's a colossal failure. I find it hard to have to criticize a Jack Lemmon movie (or a Peter Falk one...it's much easier to take shots at a good number of very lame Natalie Wood vehicles), but sadly this movie is virtually unwatchable.
Lemmon, Provine Shine
- David Atkins
- 10/16/10
Jack Warner wanted a big film to compete with Its A Mad Mad World and found it in this film directed by Blake Edwards. Starring Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood, then queen of the WB Lot, I liked this film most of all for the fine comedic performance of Jack Lemmon and lovely WB contract star Dorothy Provine who knew how to put the zing into a scene.Lemmon and Provine also starred in "Good Neightbor Same"at Columbia. Jack Lemmon had a remarkable run in the movies. winning an Oscar for Mr. Roberts, and starring in trio of classic films..Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, Days of Wine and Roses each of wihch were Oscar worthy. Lemmon in his later career would win an Oscar for "Save The Tiger" and was memorable in "Missing"
More laughs per mile than most movies.

Funny fim that has a little bit of everything. Villian Professor Fate (Jack Lemmon) and his henchman Max (Peter Falk) will do anything to show their feats of daredevil superiority circa 1908. Even though they look more like a human version of Wile E. Coyote in the process. Tony Curtis stars as the too-good-to-be-true hero The Great Leslie who proposes a race from New York to Paris via the Bering Strait. Natalie Wood tags along as a news reporter who is lso a female suffragette. The race is run via a small western town complete with a barroom brawl, an encounter with a polar bear in Alaska, and a coronation in a small European country on the verge of revolution, staging the biggest pie fight that did not involve the Three Stooges.
Non-Stop Laughs
- Bruce Reber
- 6/29/10
"The Great Race" is one of the best comedy films ever. It's a absolutely wacky farce set in 1908 at the dawn of the automobile era about a race from New York to Paris. It stars Tony Curtis as the hero The Great Leslie (always wearing white and driving a white car-the Leslie Special) and Jack Lemmon as the villian Professor Fate (always wearing black and driving a black car-the Hannibal 8). Natalie Wood is terrific as the lady newspaper reporter Maggie DuBois, who is covering the Great Race and also leading the fight for women's rights. Peter Falk is very funny as Max, Fate's bumbling henchman, and Keenan Wynn is also good as Leslie's mechanic. "The Great Race" combines elements of slapstick, old-time movie serials and romantic comedy into one of the funniest films of all time. Curtis and Lemmon are back together again 6 years after "Some Like It Hot", but this time they're on opposite sides, with Curtis' as the cool, suave and unflappable Leslie fending off all the evil schemes and hilarious gimmicks Lemmon's Professor Fate uses trying to stop him, but to no avail. My favorite scenes are the free-for-all saloon brawl, the sailing on the ice floe from Alaska to Siberia and the wildest on-screen pie fight ever. I also like the music and songs by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer, the costumes and all those antique cars, especially the Leslie Special and Hannibal 8. Four stars!
The Great Race (1965)
- Robert
- 6/29/10
One of my top two movies for comedy. Witty script and outstanding physcical comedy which brings lots of laughter no matter how many times I have seen it. A friend still uses some lines in everyday conversation even 40 years after we first saw it. The comedy has staying power to continue to entertain. I wish it were shown more often on TCM. Thanks for showing it on June 28. Nonstop fun!!!
Natalie Wood Joins
- Kevin4Butler
- 6/19/10
A funny spoof of old time melodramas and a living cartoon area part of this slapstick comedy of the mid 1960's. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis are reunited for "The Great Race" astwo competing characters("The Great Leslie" & "Prof Fate")..who enter a race from NYC to Paris,France. With Lemmon's bumbling villian trying to thwart Curtis' efforts with an assortment of ridculous devices that don't stop the hero but create hilarious sight gags and self deprecitataing misery for Lemmon. Natalie Wood also appears as "Maggie Dubois"an ambitious and oftimes flirtacious newspaper reporter.Who tries to cover the race..butgets caputured by Lemmon and another villian played by the swave Ross Martin. I've enjoyed this film..since I've first seen it in 1965 and I still enjoy it to this day.

This is my go to movie when I'm sick. I've seen it dozens of times and I still laught out loud. They just don't make 'em like this anymore - you get comedy, romance, swashbuckling, great dialogue and a fabulous fashion show in Natalie Wood's wardrobe. The entire cast is fantastic, especially Jack Lemmon. He's so terrific as the perpetually cranky Professor Fate.

I would love to see this film on TCM. Why has it not been shown in many years? How about a Tony Curtis or a Jack Lemmon tribute one night and then show this film? A suggestion that probably get a wide viewing audience, especially for youngsters who have never seen the film.
please show the great race

haven't seen it in years. please play it soon & often

This movie is absolutely fantastic! I have been watching this movie since i was young with my entire family and i know it all by heart now. Jack Lemmon was born to play Professor Fate, Natalie Wood is wonderful, and Tony Curtis gets to shine. One of the best movies ever! The music in the movie is fantasic. I highly recommend this movie! Go get it now!
Comedy on Ice...
- Bob Galvin-Oliphant

A funny, epic comedy. Jack Lemmon is especially good as the evil Prof. Fate. One of the funniest scenes has Lemmon, Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood and Peter Falk on a melting ice floe heading for Siberia.

The national touring company of the iconic musical "Cats" has returned to Orange County (it's at Segerstrom Center for the Arts until Sunday), and happily for one of the feline performers, she has been able to finally curl up in her own bed at night.
Madison Mitchell, who portrays Demeter in the show, recently began her second year in the show, which has taken her all over North America (and Hawaii) more than once. While she loves her current role, she has also enjoyed playing Jo in "Little Women," Anita in "West Side Story" and Luisa in "The Fantasticks."
Thrilled to be able to spend a few nights at home with her family in Anaheim, the former Orange County High School of the Arts and Huntington Beach High School's Academy for the Performing Arts student is also enjoying the chance to have old friends and family come see her perform.
Speaking to her, one is struck by her poise, maturity and seasoned-pro savvy.
All the more impressive when you consider that she is just 19 years old.
As a sophomore in high school, she decided that she was ready to pursue her childhood dreams in the footlights. She pitched the idea to her folks, who in turn allowed her to take the California High School Proficiency Exam and then begin her career in earnest. Almost immediately, she landed the part in "Cats" and has been on the road almost nonstop since then, touring nine months in her first year (with a similar schedule coming up for 2012).
Though she was born more than 10 years after Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Cats" premiered in London's West End in 1981, she became intrigued with the show after seeing a commercial for it on an old VHS tape she and her older sister (also a dancer) used to watch. When she got the chance to audition, she thought about that old commercial and how magical the show seemed.
And now here she is, front and center in one of the most challenging dance productions in Broadway history.
"The show itself is exhausting," she told me. "Very physical and intense. But during the hard moments on stage, I always think of the alternatives and there's nothing else I'd rather be doing right now."
She'd seen "Cats" once at the Fullerton Civic Light Opera but had never performed it in Orange County until now. In fact, it's her first time ever performing in the vaunted theater, and the significance was not lost on her. Recently, a friends of hers performing there in "Shrek the Musical" walked her out on stage one quiet afternoon, and it took Mitchell's breath away. She then posted a photo of the empty house on her cast's Facebook page to get them as excited as she was.
Fully aware of the fact the she made an unconventional move by leaving high school early, Mitchell told me that when she goes out and speaks at schools today, offering advice to up-and-coming performers, she can't help but preach what she practiced.
"It was right for me," she said, "but everyone has to do what's right for them. I really believe that, and I also tell students that it's important to learn from the adults around you. They are the experts, they have been there, and they will help you find your way."
I have not met many 19-year-olds like Orange County's own Madison Mitchell, and she certainly seems like a performer who will be worth watching in the future. I hope you have a chance to see her and her clowder of other cats this weekend.
"Cats" runs at Segerstrom Center for the Arts until Sunday. For ticket information, call (714) 556-2787.

Al Jean, executive producer and show runner for Fox's long, long, long-running "The Simpsons," says the death that is coming to Springfield in the upcoming 26th season premiere will be permanent.
"When we kill [a character], they stay dead," Jean said. That said, he did say the death was a bit "overhyped."
Earlier this year, "Family Guy," which airs with "The Simpsons" on Fox Sunday nights, took the shocking move of killing the family dog, Brian, before bringing him back a few weeks later.
Whoever dies in the episode, "Clown in the Dumps," which airs Sept. 28, will stay dead. But he or she could always come back...

The patient lies, clothed and dry, upon a water filled full-body length tank covered by a 30 Mil vinyl barrier. As patient floats upon the table, pressurized water is pumped to the 5 jets producing a vigorous, rotating hydro massage. The combination of flotation, heat and massage induce a state of total relaxation that has to be experienced to believe.
A 10 to 15 minute session on our table reduces muscle spasm and helps lower stress levels in patients. The level of relaxation induced by using The Aqua Thermassage is perfect for pre-chiropractic treatment use.
Most patients are more compliant and easier to adjust after using The Aqua Thermassage.
Many hours of work have gone into the engineering and design of The Aqua Thermassage dry hydro massage unit. We have spent years designing, redesigning and testing our table until we found the right formula for dependability, simplicity in operation, durability and superior performance.
What we have with The Aqua Thermassage is a unit that patients love to use. Doctors love the positive effects that The Aqua Thermassage has on their patients and the referrals generated by happy patients.

Valarie Elizabeth Canfil died at her home in Pine Cove on March 1, 1999, following a brief illness. Family, friends and Hemet Hospice were at her side. Valarie was born Aug. 26, 1918, on a farm outside Chicago, Ill. She came to California in 1947 and settled in the San Diego area where she was active in the Rock 'n Ride Equestrian Drill Team which performed in parades and at fairs. Their trainer was the famous Western painter "Weighorst." She also enjoyed bowling and square dancing.
Mrs. Canfil worked for 21 years for Bank of America in various capacities developing her expertise in home loans and escrow actions. After retiring from BofA, she and husband Art moved to Pine Cove and became full-time residents in the mid-70s, building a home on Deerpath Road. She then opened an escrow office here on the Hill.
She was an artist in her own right with a particular fondness for Native American and wildlife themes. In 1985, she and Art, along with Nancy Appell, founded the ARF Fund (Animal Rescue Fund of Idyllwild) and raised money for spaying and neutering, as well as for rescuing abandoned animals.
Mrs. Canfil is survived by her husband Arthur Canfil, son Michael Robbins and brother Bill Keller of Northern California.
In lieu of flowers, she requested that donations be made to the ARF Fund, P.O. Box 1965, Idyllwild, CA 92549; to the Ramona Animal Haven, 690 Humane Way, Hemet, CA 92582; or to Living Free, P.O. Box 5, Mountain Center, CA 92561.
A memorial will be held on Tuesday, March 9, from 2 to 4 p.m., at the Silver Pines Lodge. Friends are urged to come and share their memories of Valarie. Burial will be private.

If you've tried to log into your Flickr account from the Windows Phone Flickr app you're probably receiving an error message that reads,
"Unable to reach Flickr login services. Press Back to try again."
The error message is rather persistent, no matter how many times you press the Back Button and try again.
The problem? It's likely an API change that wasn't reflected in the app. The issue seems to be limited to logging into your Flickr account from apps such as the Flickr app and Pixl. In checking some of the apps that pull images from Flickr, but don't have the account log-in feature, such as Photostream and Flickr Wallpapers, they are still able to pull pictures from Flickr.
There is a discussion going on over in the Flickr user forum that indicates the problem isn't restricted to Windows Phones. iPhone and Android users are reporting the same headache when attempting to log into Flickr accounts.
Some forum members have contacted Flickr customer support and received the boiler plate "uninstall and reinstall the app" fix. Which doesn't work.
Then there's the "you may want to use the phone's browser to access Flickr at m.flickr.com" solution that has been recommended as a temporary fix. Which is a poor substitute for the app.
A Flickr Staff member did chime in six days ago saying they'll take a look at the problem but nothing has been heard from them since. Hopefully Flickr will figure things out and get a fix in place soon. We have reached out to Flickr to see if they can shed any light on the problem and how long it will take to fix. We'll keep you updated should we hear back from them.
If you feel like giving things a try you can find the free, Flickr app here in the Windows Phone Store. We'll keep our fingers crossed that you have better luck.
Thanks, peestandingup, for the tip!

Mystic Ballet gets high marks for 'Swan Lake' performance
Scuttling out onto the stage, ballerinas make a spidery entrance in the ballet "Swan Lake" performed by the Mystic Ballet Friday night at the Mystic Stage at Olde Mistick Village.
Clearly, this treatment of "Swan Lake" by choreographer Sergei Vanaev is not conventional – the women perform in the corps de ballet concept, but are not ornamental bodies providing an architectural framework – they are empowered; free of the classical confines that have been a long- held story ballet tradition.
This is a "Swan Lake" for contemporary audiences, and Mystic Ballet, in its last performance of the season, presented Act II from Vanaev's full-length ballet. This "Swan Lake" keeps the lush score by Tchaikovsky and the enchanted element of swan-humans, but has its own story line that plucks at the primal chords inherent in human nature – envy, desire, covetousness, and the ego's ceaseless battle between good and evil.
Tall, regal and thundering with the conflicting emotions of the prince character, Aleksander Subotic commanded the stage with both an animal magnetism as well as the soaring, ethereal ideal of a man. Tender and attentive to his partner, Hiroko Maehara, Subotic displayed an adept command of artistic interpretation impressive for a young dancer.
Ballerina Maehara, tiny and sprite-like, nevertheless displayed some fierce solos in which she exemplified classical training and discipline with crisp chaine turns, breathtaking extensions, buoyant leaps and feathery lands. Vanaev made a good choice in keeping the ballerinas off pointe – this is a much more organic "Swan Lake" he has crafted. It rises from the muck of primeval emotions to explore humanity's aspirations for enlightenment.
This Act II presentation of "Swan Lake" is a real treat – but to truly understand the interplay between the characters and the evolution of its thematic and dramatic elements so prevalent in Vanaev's work, the entire ballet needs to be seen. And once Mystic Ballet moves to its space at Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino, it will have the space to fully stage this ballet.
The evening also consisted of a work by Brian Enos, "The Watcher" a hypnotic ballet that begins with a dancer rising from a chair as if compelled by an outside force to move, dream-like and fluid. Aleksander Subotic performed the "Watcher" character, an intriguing element of this ballet that expressed the ebb and flow of social and romantic interaction. Beginning with an ethereal quality, the ballet progressed to playfulness, with a duet by two male dancers who took the stage with drunken glee.
A truly romantic and lyrical ballet was performed in an excerpt from Laura Edson's "Sun and Steel." Primarily a duet that again paired the dynamic Subotic and Maehara, this ballet lifts the spirit, is hauntingly gorgeous and also demands a technical and athletic prowess in its lifts and intricacies. Along with "The Watcher," Mystic Ballet will be bringing "Sun and Steel" and "Swan Lake" to Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival's Inside/Out Series this summer, where they are returning for a second year.
Mystic Ballet has unfolded as a hub of contemporary dance that attracts high caliber choreographers who deploy classical ballet technique within engaging, thematic dance that is food for the soul. Athletic, sensual, and dynamic, this company is on the cusp of wider recognition as it prepares for its first season at Fox Theater.

Need help sleeping? You will sleep better with dreameasy. This remarkable (and cutting edge – All Natural Sleep Aid) will help you to Sleep Better.
Get ready for peaceful, restful sleep. You may be looking for a solution for you or a loved one. In your search for an All Natural Solution you have found it. This is cutting edge Science delivering an All Natural solution for your Body to get the Rest you need.
40.6 Million Americans are Sleep Deprived.
This truly remarkable (and non addictive) product allows you to fall asleep and gain proper sleep. Live better through better sleep with dreameasy.
REM Sleep, you need it. Dreameasy can help you get there. Think about how a great nights sleep each and every night would help you to perform. Work, Home, and in your everyday needs and activities.
Simply take one capsule nightly before bedtime. And let your body heal, restore and perform better through proper rest. You will see within a short period of time that your mind is able to slow down, stop racing, and you will feel a calm. From there you will be able to enter into a restful state, and be able to enter an amazing restful state. When was the last time you were able to rest well, and rest allowing you to be at your optimal abilities the following morning?
It is time for you to change the way you enter rest.
Start with dreameasy Here!
Top 15 Better Sleep Tips (According to BetterSleep.org)
Americans are in the midst of what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called a national sleep epidemic, and society is feeling the impact. In fact, nearly 8 in 10 Americans admit they would feel better and more prepared for the day if they had an extra hour of sleep.
Luckily, solutions are not out of reach. The sleep tips below are the Better Sleep Council's trusted solutions to help avoid the damaging effects of sleep deprivation and general grogginess after a poor night's sleep. In short, these tips on how to sleep better can make Monday mornings – and every other morning – a lot easier to handle.
- Make sleep a priority. Keep a consistent sleep and wake schedule – even on the weekends. If necessary, try adding sleep to your to-do list. And don't be late.
- Maintain a relaxing sleep routine. Create a bedtime routine that relaxes you. Experts recommend reading a book, listening to soothing music or soaking in a hot bath.
- Create a sleep sanctuary. Your bedroom should be a haven of comfort. Create a room that is dark, quiet, comfortable and cool for the best sleep possible. Consider a bedroom makeover.
Sounds Great – though not always easy to make happen.
- Evaluate your sleep system. Your mattress and pillow should provide full comfort and support. Your bed and your body will naturally change over time, so if your mattress is seven years old (or older), it may be time for a new one. Pillows should generally be replaced every year.
- Keep work materials out. The bedroom should be used for sleep and sex only. Keep stressors, such as work, outside the bedroom.
- Banish technology. Television, smartphones, tablets, laptops and computers should be kept out of the bedroom. Intense backlighting of electronics triggers stimulating chemicals in the brain that tell your body it's time to be awake. Again, with our Social Media "Needs" this is often hard to make happen, and even when we do, there are the ongoing issues we are dealing with. Relationships aren't as easy to turn off as they might want us to believe.
Realizing This is Difficult – Right?
- Exercise early. Complete your workouts at least two hours before bedtime to ensure quality sleep. Even a brisk walk can increase blood flow and improve your sleep. Sounds great, and while it may help, it is not always a practical method with our stressful lives and time availability.
- Assess your space. Did you know that for couples who sleep on a "double", each person only has as much sleeping space as a baby's crib? Whether you sleep with a partner or alone, your mattress should allow enough space for you to be able to move freely and easily.
- Replace caffeine with water after lunch. Caffeine can remain in your system longer than you might realize. Stay hydrated with water instead of having coffee, tea or soda in the afternoon. Great suggestion, though usually when you are in a habitual state of deprivation, this alone is hard to see having benefits, nor is it easy to make happen.
- Drink alcohol earlier in the day. If you need to indulge, a glass of wine soon after work can calm your nerves and help worries melt away, while still giving your body ample time to digest the alcohol before bed.
- Take 20- to 30-minute naps. Short naps can be restorative without disrupting your sleeping. Experts say even a 10-minute nap can improve alertness for 2.5 hours when you're sleep deprived and for up to 4 hours when you are well rested.
I do not know about you, but taking a 20-30 minute nap sounds great, but it is virtually impossible to fit it into our busy days.
- Eat light in the evening. Finish eating at least two to three hours before bedtime.
- Keep a worry journal. Distance yourself from things that cause stress and anxiety. Writing down the things that are bothering you can give you perspective and help you relax. Just don't keep your journal in your bedroom.
- Set a snooze button quota. Only hit the snooze button once per day. And set it for the latest setting possible in order to still wake up on time. You will feel more refreshed if your sleep isn't disrupted multiple times.
- Buy an alarm clock. And keep your phone in the other room. Smartphones in particular can represent a source of stress during the day, and proximity to the bed can disrupt sleep – even if it doesn't make noise or is set to vibrate.
REF: bettersleep.org/better-sleep/how-to-sleep-better/sleep-tips
While tips to better sleep may help; you will find that having the All Natural dreameasy to assist you will make restful, deep sleep more of a possibility. Removing Stress, eating better, and making lifestyle choices aren't necessarily going to solve the issues. And quite frankly, they are not always as easy to facilitate or work around as they sound. That is why dreameasy was created. Sleep deprivation is a real issue.
Go Here and Solve your Deprivation with dreameasy
Rest – it is all about getting Rest!
Anxiety, stress, grief, unhappiness and a sense of ever present negativity wear you out and drain your sense of direction. For many people, rest is a time of continuing to chew over the emotional turmoil they're going through, thereby heightening anxiety, worries and fears. Is this how it has to be? In a word, no. Human beings are clever, adaptable and innovative but human beings often forget how to properly care for themselves and rest is one area that many of us treat as an afterthought or even as a luxury we can't really afford. However, rest is essential for our well being and it can even be used to heal.

What? The Lambs? We didn't lay a 50 burger on 'em? Sheesh. So much for the Superbowl... Seriously though, I hope the Rams didn't show everybody how to stop us. I still feel pretty confident against RGIII and the 'Skins for the rookie qb smack-down. Was hoping for the previously beaten Cowpokes, but it didn't really make that much of a difference to me. And if I remember correctly, aren't the Redskins usually just a speed bump for us in recent playoff history? Reading through their boards, seems like THEY remember...
"Official" forum. Used to be a great board, but now it's just ass-hat central. They should call themselves "Extreme Xenophobe's", 'cause if you ain't a 'Skins fan, you're an intruder. Just ridiculous. Enter at your own risk. Can't believe I talked this site up so much. I was going by my past experiences where they used to be cool. So much for that. Still entertaining to read their Rah Rah stupidity. Will be the first place I visit after the Seahawks smack-down though to view what should be an epic meltdown!

Should Denard give it a go at RB instead of WR?
With a lot of recent reports saying that Denard is struggling to impress NFL scouts as a WR, what about if he gave it a go as a RB?
Before everyone goes off and says he'll get killed as a RB, I say look at Chris Johnson. Johnson is 5,11 and 191.
Denard weighed in at 196(double check) and measured 5,11.
After all he did break the Rushing Record, and looked more then capable as a RB against Ohio and USC.
What are your thoughts? I just wish this kid the best and hope he has a heck of a NFL career, because gosh does he deserve it.

Brittany Chambers' layup with under a second to play gave Kansas State a 51-49 victory over Texas in the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament Friday night.
Chambers scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead the eighth-seeded Wildcats (16-16), whose reward is a quarterfinal game against No. 1 Baylor (29-1) Saturday.
Three players scored all but two of Kansas State's points. Haley Texada had 19 points and Chantay Caron scored 10 for the Wildcats, with Heidi Brown's basket being the only other score. Mariah White had no points but matched Chambers with nine boards and led Kansas State with five assists, including one on the game-winning basket.
Imani McGee-Stafford had 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Longhorns (12-19), the ninth seed. McGee-Stafford's basket with 30 seconds left tied it. Nneka Enemkpali scored 12 points for Texas.

Definitely read the link Jeff posted. I don't wanna sound like I'm bashing Rahr or anything. I'm sure a lot of people (and many pros) use Rahr to make good beer. That said, I used to buy a lot of Rahr pils malt because it's the least expensive base malt at my LHBS. I've since switched to Weyermann pils and Simpsons Golden Promise for my base malts. The friability is outstanding, they crush well without shredding husks, and I've noticed increased efficiency in my mash and improved flavor in my beer. There are a lot of different maltsters out there, and some may be better than others, depending on the kind of beer you want to make.
Hi all,Got a question for you. I am new to all grain brewing and an trying to approach this very scientificly. Today I purchased 9 types of 2-row and 6-row base malted barley and made teas out of 2 oz of each to test each type of grain the way Denny described in a Zymergy article a few months back. I made notes and will be posting them Monday.I am also reading Greg Noonan's New Brewing Lager Beer and am also trying to teach myself to look at malted barley and judge if it is well suited for making beer. I have 4 types of Rohr 6 row and 2 row barley and the endosperm is white and kind of hard. Noonan says tha thard greyish white malt isnot suited for brewing, is that what I am seeing. Anyone else taken a look at Rohr malt and decided if the malts are usually mealy or glassy?Thanks for your help!
I don't look at it, I brew it and assess the results. No matter what the color of the endosperm is, I find Rahr 2 row pale malt to be my favorite out of all the domestic pale malts I've used.
I'll be curious to hear what you think. I haven't tried that particular malt from them.
The only Rahr malt I've tried has been the pils. I can't comment on their pale malt.

ARLINGTON, Texas – Rangers leadoff hitter Leonys Martin was just trying to hit a ball over the five players positioned in the infield.
Martin instead knocked it over the wall for a game-ending three-run homer in the 10th inning as Texas, after trailing four times, pulled out a 14-11 victory over the Angels that took nearly five hours Tuesday night.
"This the biggest moment in my whole career so far," said Martin, the former Cuban defector who signed with Texas two years ago. "Last night, I had a dream like that."
His dreamy thoughts came after the Rangers had opened the series against the Angels with another game-ending homer.
Daniel Stange (0-1), making his Angels debut and his first major league appearance since 2010, walked Mitch Moreland and Geovany Soto to start the 10th. David Murphy then reached on a fielder's choice before Los Angeles put five players in the infield with only two outfielders.
That alignment didn't matter when Martin sent his sixth homer of the season to the opposite field, barely clearing the 14-foot wall and just inside the left-field foul pole. It was the seventh at-bat in the game for the Texas leadoff hitter, who got more than just a ball to the outfield that would have won the game on the 434th pitch thrown by a combined 14 pitchers.
"He's shown that he can do that. He's hit some doubles down that left field line," manager Ron Washington said. "But the most important thing is he got a pitch up in the zone and he stayed on it."
Closer Joe Nathan (2-1), the sixth Rangers pitcher, worked around a leadoff walk in the 10th for a scoreless inning.
It was the second night in a row the Rangers had a game-ending homer — the first time they've done that since 1981.
everybody had a part in it," Washington said. Angels closer Ernesto Frieri had converted 25 of 27 saves before his consecutive blown chances in Texas.
"This is the most frustrating moment of my career. I never went through this. I don't know what to do," he said. "We're very frustrated."
Mark Trumbo and Collin Cowgill homered for the Angels, who lost their fifth straight game. Josh Hamilton, the 2010 AL MVP who spent
the past five seasons in Texas, drove in four runs, while Mike Trout was 4 for 4 and with two walks after going 2 for 2 with two walks Monday night.
The Angels had their biggest lead, 11-7, after a four-run eighth.

Custom Freak Tips - Review
Updatd. Copied from my post in the 'reviews' section.
Custom Made Freak Barrel Tips – My Review
Rating is scored 0-5.
A "0" represents the lowest opinion or quality;
A "5" represents the highest possible quality or standard.
There is this member of the Smart Corps Forum who goes by the name of jcurt454, who is a machinist by trade. He's offering his vocational services to supplement his income. He has an EBay name of jcurt455 and sold several 1" Freak-styled tips he made. He also appears to have good feedback there so we talked about him creating a tip to my particular specifications. His email address is firstname.lastname@example.com and communication was excellent - and my barrel tips were here within a week.
Shipping/packaging: Rating 5
Like I said, he had to create one from scratch but I also got one that already existed. I had both parts within 6 days from initial conversation.
Barrels were well wrapped and separated from each other in the package.
Tip #1 was the one's he'd previously made. The length is 1" and was anodized dust black.
Tip #2 was the one I had created. It is raw and unpolished.
Craftsmanship, Tip #1:
My first impression is that the piece is very well made. There are a few tool marks on the collar where the tip fits into the barrel back (below the threads/right side of theads in the pics below) but this is purely cosmetic and will not affect function or performance. Rating 4
Porting was done in a tasteful manner and the holes appear to be proportionately spaced. The porting on the barrel bore is perfect…there are no burrs inside the bore. Rating 5
There is a groove for a barrel O Ring. None was supplied but I knew this in advance. The lines are even, clean and square. Rating 4 for lack of the O Ring.
Threading for the Freak back appears to be well cut, since there is no presence of burrs or any other obstruction in the threads. Rating 5
The piece arrived anodized dust black but upon inspection, it appears that the anodizer failed to polish out the bore. Other than this fact, the finish is consistent and even all the way around the exterior. Rating 5
Performance will be tested on Sunday 16 Sept 07 - PERFOMANCE POSTED BELOW
Tip #2 was the one I had created. It came with a raw finish, the tip is 2 ½" long and the milling is exactly as I requested. The edges of the muzzle break are well cut and there were no burrs, sharp edges or any other visible errors. Rating 5
The porting behind the muzzle break is identical to the 1" models he previously made but spaced farther apart because of the extended length. There are no burrs inside the bore. Rating 5
The threading was again perfect…however this tip does not come with a barrel O Ring, nor is a channel cut for it. I did not include the channel for an O Ring in my schematics and no O Ring would be supplied. Again, I already knew this. Rating 5
Since this is a 'raw' tip, it also came with an unpolished bore because I will have it finished and anodized by a different person. Rating 5
Performance will be tested on Sunday 16 Sept 07 - PERFORMANCE POSTED BELOW
Pictures: I have s ****ty camera and had to 'enhance' some pics in my photoshop. Forgive the quality.
Tip #1 - 1" Freak tip threaded section. Note the tool marks right of the threads:
Pocket for the Freak insert:
Muzzle area:
Tip #2 - 2.5" Tip attatched to the Freak Back. I asked him to make it a little thicker that the blackened model so it better matched the Freak back. He did that and even though it's a bit thicker than the back, I think it looks alot better than the thinner walled (Black) version:

User Evaluation:
Please write a brief description of how the barrel worked for you on this date:
(Overall performance, accurately hit target, paint breaks, ECT.)
Games played - Renegade woodsball. Players present = 12.
Tip #1 - (1" Black dust annodized tip)
Excellent Tip. Chronographing required a ~14 fps decrease in velocity after test with 14" AA tip. (meaning, the 1" tip registered 14 fps faster than the 14" Freak, requiring me to velocity-down the marker).
After chrono, target practice on a tree 4" in diameter and 30 feet distant. Of 20 balls fired, 16 impacted the tree within 4" (vertical impacts) of all other inpacts. 2 were 'wingers' and 2 were my fault/improper aim.
During play -
At least as accurate as the AA front (14" total). The shortness of the barrel makes it definately more maneuverable in thick brush. The down side is, I could not poke the barrel through brush very well and had to be "more exposed" than I like to be.
Total balls fired - 500 for this tip over the course of the day.
Tip #2 - (Raw tip, 2/5" long)
Excellent tip. Chronographing remained a constant between this and Tip #1.
After chrono, target practice on the same tree at the same distance. 20 balls at 30 feet, 15 impacts within a 6" vertical area of all other impacts. This tip seemed to create more "lift" in the paint, causing impacts at a slightly higher elevation using the same aim point - as if it were reacting like a Tippmann "Flatline" barrel. This could be from the extra 1.5 inches over Tip #1, or the presence of the "muzzle break...or possibly both. The 5 "missed" shots were "wingers" that curved withing 5' of the tree but then, it only missed the tree by a few inches at best. This could be the paint, it could have been the very slight breeze in the treeline. I'm unsure of the exact "reason" but I highly doubt it was the barrel's fault. If 15 can make a 6" spot, there's no reason to believe the other 5 couldn't have also.
During play -
Again, slight "lofting" of the paint cause me to have to constantly readjust my aim to a lower aim point. However, out to 75/100 feet, this barrel tip performed as accurate as my 14" as compared. Again, the shortness of this tip made it very maneuverable but made it impossible to "poke through" brush and caused me to be more out in the "open" than I like to be.
Total balls fired - 500 for this tip over the course of the day.
Starting air in 88/45 was a "needle shy of" 4,000 psi. Ending pressure was 2000 psi for the day. 500 balls were put through each barrel tip. I ended up switching to my 14" Freak tip...solely for the reason of poling through brush...but that's the only reason. Had the engagement area been closer, or less dense with thick brush, I would have kept the shorter tips on longer throughout the day.
Overall, I'm very inpressed with both tips. Definately recommended for the Close-Quarters Battle type of game...or at least, with thinner-to-no brush fields. I'm definately glad I got the 2 of them.
Overall rating for the day:
Tip 1 - 9/10 - losing one "point" for the inability to push through brush/pallet bunkers.

I did not deduct any points for the "lofting" affect. To some, this may actually be a "+" benefit and I recognize that fact.

Are you looking for a skin tune up that can tighten and tone? Well now there are many treatments that are a sure bet to preventing aging. These treatments are packed with power, in their ability to exfoliate and infuse.
The first step is resurfacing the skin. This acts to prime and prepare the skin making it more penetrable. It also acts as a deep cleanse providing a clean smooth surface. The second step is an infusion process that drives products deeper into the skin. More infusion creates more results, such anti inflammatory benefits, increased hydration and tightening.
So for a trifecta that offers maximum results. Put your money on these treatments to tighten and tone today.

Reviews of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City were not kind. It opened to terrible reviews, especially for a title releasing under that name and publisher. "Not worth playing" and "a mediocre slog with annoying difficulty spikes" is the appraisal of Kotaku's Evan Narcisse, in his review.
Eurogamer contacted developer Slant Six for a reaction to the criticism and got a passive-aggressive buck-passing to Capcom:
"We read every review and we try to pull out all the constructive feedback that we can so we can learn a little about what people liked and what they didn't," Slant Six's Mike Kerr told Eurogamer. "Then we look to what our internal goals were and what Capcom asked us to do and I think we accomplished what they wanted to do — we took the Resident Evil franchise in a different direction."
"A different direction." I'm sure Capcom and Resident Evil detractors both can agree that's where Racoon City ended up.
