Why do some riders believe that having stickers or decals from companies makes you a poser?
I have some decals and stickers on all my boards from resorts I have ridden, snowboard companies that I am loyal to when buying their gear and personal ones that I make. I personally think I and other ppl like me are not posers. I would not put anything on my board that I was not proud of. I know that I am not trying to act like I am sponsored by these people, but that I love there product enough to wear it, use it and put their logos on MY board. How do you feel?
I ride with many different people - some sponsored - some beginners... I don't know anyone who looks at the stickers on someones board and considers them a poser. A poser is someone who talks about snowboarding, whether it is jumps, rails, grabs, or just turning, but can't actually do it. Be proud of your stickers - you are using them to give your board some of your personality.

How can I tell if my guitar string is sharp or flat?
I am a beginner guitarist, but my guitar is out of tune. it gets really annoying. i have this tuner http://www.cybermarket.co.uk/ishop/images/923/172_265.jpg , but i dont know how to use it. PLZ HLP! Thank you
when the light next to "b" is lit, you're too low or flat. If the light with # lights up, you're too high or Sharp. When you get the one green light in the middle lit and other two off, IT's GOOD.
BTW the setting should be at "A440"

Sea Fishing - Mind Boggling Bait Clips
There are many bait clips on the market. Everyone including myself seems to be asked which is the best bait clip and what makes it different from the rest. Well in this article I will go through the pros and cons of bait clips and how they may improve your fishing.
What is a bait clip?
A bait clip is a device that allows you to clip down your snoods or trace lines on your rigs thus reducing the risk of tangles and also to present baits effectively at distance. The use without a bait clip can result in your bait being thrown off the hook during a power cast or even worse hitting the water's surface and coming off the hook without realising and then you sit there watching your rod tip for bites thinking the bait is presented nicely on the bottom when in fact it's been eaten ages ago by a school of Bass. Anglers refer the use of a bait clip to a distance rig; by clipping down the trace and bait it makes your rig more aerodynamic thus giving you a better distance when casting out.
Main design types on the market
Breakaway Impact Shield
A simple hook over system which physically ejects the baited hook on impact with the water. The cone shaped cap above the hook acts as a windshield to protect your bait from being broken apart by the rapidly passing stream of air during a cast.
Breakaway Imp (Imp2)
Miniature combination impact bait clip which works in conjunction with a fast link Easy to use with fool-proof hook release, excellent in flight stability and offers bait protection during the cast. They can be used with any type of sinker.
Gemini Alpha Bait Clip
A streamlined, releasable bait clip, that has the advantageous option of the one slider holding and reliably releasing one or two bait clips, or placing two single clips in line for larger baits.
Breakaway Relay Clips
A neat plastic bait clip which is fitted on to the trace line preventing it from accidently pulling out of the rig tubing also this clip is very adjustable.
Breakaway Impact Lead
A combined lead and bait clip system. Very well designed as a streamlined lead which allows you to create a streamlined rig in seconds by securing the baited hook so that good casting distances can be achieved. As soon as the lead hits the water the coloured plastic tip is forced upwards releasing the hook so that the rig is free to fall into its intended formation in the water.
So which one do I use?
To start they are all priced differently with the relay clip being the cheapest and the Imps & Impact Leads being the most expensive. Most Anglers would of heard or be using the Breakaway Impact Shield bait clip for years as it is the market leader for simplicity and effectiveness. However since then there have been new designs brought to the table allowing us the angler a spoilt choice of bait clips to try out. Here are some pointers to look at: Cost, Effectiveness, Set up time and how well they suit your needs whilst fishing different methods.
The Breakaway Impact Shield can be added to any rig design of your choice with a simple rubber tube holding it in place. Unfortunately it is not the easiest bait clip for large baits at distance and sometimes can fail to unclip if you go down that route. For Sandeel squid and worm baits it's a great all round clip to use and very easy to apply. These clips are used a lot in distance rigs.
Breakaway Imps, these are quite smart, The advantage with these is that there is no need to incorporate the clip into your rig design, This clip clips onto a Breakaway Fastlink which connects your rig to your lead weight allowing you to use any sized weight and rig design you wish. Disadvantage with these is that they don't offer as much protection during the cast as the famous Impact Shield.
Gemini Alpha Clips are great for large baits and also multiple hook rigs as they have a nice long wire that sticks out with plenty of space to clip the hooks down. The only thing with the Alpha clip that I found not to my liking is that in the winter when your fingers feel like they are going to drop off or for people who have no patience! This clip can be fiddly to setup and clip down baits.
Breakaway Relay clips are a simple solution to a problem! It's just a clip! They could not be easier to use. They have no mechanism or release system, and can be incorporated into any of your rigs, however because there is no function as such they sometimes can fail to release baits at short distances.
Breakaway Impact Leads are my personal favourite and is the newest clip on the market, this clip very rarely fail to release the hook, they are very streamlined because they are incorporated into the lead, and as with the imps they can be added to any rig to make it clip down. Impact Leads are available in different sizes and types ranging from Grip Lead styles to Flatfish leads. The only problem I have found with these is if you fish a beach that has very coarse sand you may need to clean the sand out from under the cone to stop it jamming before you cast it back out. Otherwise the plastic cone cannot push your hook off the clip on impact. Overall this clip is second to none!
Remember what ever bait clip you decide to use make sure you are comfortable with it and that it does the job. However for all you Impact Shield Anglers out there, why not try something new this year and see if it can improve your fishing, with so many new designs you might just find the cure to your bait clipping problems or needs.
how to style clip in extensions?
if they are damp and you braid them will they turn out wavy? mine are real, im just having problems styling them.. lol
oh and i have curly hair, and would like to leave it curly when i wear them but not sure how
well ur f***ed then.

Music Made in Japan
THE origins of traditional Japanese music reach back more than a thousand years. Included are classical or refined music, chamber music, theater, folk and festival music, as well as a host of vocal forms. This treasury of music was passed on from generation to generation without the help of musical scores.
Between the third and fifth centuries C.E., Buddhist missionary priests came to Japan to spread their views. The chants and background music associated with their religion gradually merged with the Shinto traditional music, forming a basis for nearly all native Japanese music.
By the seventh century this music of Japan developed into what became known as Gagaku, the classical (literally, “elegant”) music. From Gagaku, which became the music of the imperial court, the secular use of instrumental music grew, as did theatrical music. Meanwhile, folk and festival music appeared, with its loud drumming and lively rhythm, contrasting sharply with the quiet music of Gagaku.
The Instruments
Today many instruments are employed in traditional Japanese music. The three most commonly heard are the koto, shakuhachi and shamisen.
The koto, imported from China around the ninth century, is a long wooden box-type instrument about six feet (1.8 meters) long and one foot (.3 meter) wide. With the instrument lying before him, the seated player plucks its 13 strings with a plectrum. A skillful player can produce music that pleasantly resembles that of the harp.
The Japanese bamboo flute, measuring about 21 inches (53 centimeters) in length, is called shakuhachi. This instrument has five finger holes, and a mouthpiece at the upper end. The player holds the shakuhachi vertically. By skillfully adjusting his lips to the mouthpiece at varying angles and moving his neck into different positions as he covers the holes with his fingers, the instrumentalist is able to produce three octaves of tones. The plaintive wail produced by this flute may generate feelings of vagueness and melancholy.
The shamisen has no counterpart among Western musical instruments. It came to Japan from China by way of Okinawa around the year 1560 C.E. But only the instrument is an import. The manner in which the shamisen is played, the kind of music produced with it and the construction of the instrument itself are strictly Japanese. It looks somewhat like a banjo, is made of wood covered with cat skin, and has three gut strings. The shamisen is played by striking the strings with a large plectrum.
When music is produced on the shamisen, the most important thing is not the sound of the instrument but the words for which the music provides the background. Without the words, the music has little meaning. It varies according to the meaning of the song. When words fail to express what is to be conveyed, such as the cold of falling snow or the trickling of a brook, the shamisen is used to “imitate” these things, and the story is told without words.
Appreciating the Music
What is the composite effect produced by Japanese instrumentalists? If you are listening for the first time, your reaction may be that you are hearing the same thing over and over again. It may seem that you are listening to a kind of melody, and yet there appear to be conflicting melodies. But there is something delightful about seeing the musicians perform. Their movements, posture and expressions all appear to be choreographed and in perfect harmony. Yes, in Japan, not just the music, but how it is played and how the performance looks to the observer are important.
Japanese music is very different from the music common in Western lands. This difference includes the scale, the rhythm and the sound. In Western orchestral music, sounds from the various instruments blend, producing harmony. But in Japanese music the individual instruments can be heard playing conflicting melodies. Nevertheless, together they create an aesthetic balance.
Western Influence
In the last 100 years, the Western style of music has become the norm in Japan. Under Emperor Meiji’s reform, music began to be taught in the schools, and it was the music of the West. In spite of this, there is no danger that the ancient traditional music will die out. Many Japanese people want to preserve the traditional music. Therefore, the various guilds that perpetuate this music and teach it continue to thrive.
Because music of the Western world has become so much a part of Japanese culture, one can find old Japanese songs written in Western notation and scored for the piano or guitar. Also, in the last century many new Japanese songs have been written according to the Western style. But it cannot be said that these are truly Western songs. Rather, the Japanese simply have used a medium to enrich their own musical heritage. The development is music with a distinct Japanese flavor, though scored and played in the Western style.
What guitar effect is this?
what effect pedal is John Frusciante using in pretty much all his solos like this one,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUJHEdQBAr8 (at about 2:00 to probably the end)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSENpGTTuao (The effect might be different in this one)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSENpGTTuao (at the end about, but you can watch it)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB3gV_e2E6E&feature=related (it is in some or most)
It has this high pitched sound and he will hold the good sounding long note, I think it is either a digitech whammy or an octave generator or something.
Here there,
This is supposed to be his gear rig.
http://www.gearofthegodz.com/artists-2/john-frusciante/what-effects-does-john-frusciante-use/
I thought I heard a wah pedal and a compressor. But those are not included on that list. I did not notice the octave pedal, but only listened to the first video you posted. Something like the Octavia would be commonly used in his style.

Paper Navigational Charts Are a Boaters Must For Safety
This article explores the necessity of a failsafe backup to electronic navigation: traditional NOAA navigational charts.
In this day-and-age you can easily insulate yourself in false sense of security: passwords for emails and bank accounts, OnStar, Mapqwest, GPS in your car or on your boat. But the wonders of today's technology, while convenient, can have occasion to fail.
When it comes to boating, a false sense of security can lead to trouble at sea. "Collisions account for 80% of all reportable recreational boating accidents and 78% of non-reportable accidents, totaling an estimated insurance loss of over $450 million a year from nearly 100,000 claims," says a 2007 Hydrographic Services Review Panel report. "A major cause of claims is 'striking a submerged object' and groundings, two scenarios in which accurate NOAA surveys and charts can play a major role."
With electrical or battery failure a possibility, and only a small percentage of boats with backup power sources, relying solely on GPS or a chartplotter can be risky. It goes back to an old sailing rule: "Don't rely on one method of navigation." Richard Sillcox, NOAA's chief of Chart Update Service adds, "Technology is not foolproof, and unforeseen circumstances may affect your ability to take advantage of that technology." Among serious mariners, the consensus is always this: never rely on only one means of navigation.
The solution? Printed navigational charts. In comparison to the flash and interface of a digital-age navigation solution, a chart may be considered by some as an antique, but in the inopportune moment, when the batteries fail, it's the chart that will get you to safety.
That's not to say navigational charts have not entered the 21st century. At present NOAA (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration) and the U.S. Coast Guard have established consistent methods of gathering cartographic data and uploading it to servers at OceanGrafix, an on-demand navigational chart printer. These daily updates allow every Ocean Grafix print-on-demand (POD) navigational chart to be 100% up to date at the time of printing.
NOAA charts include topographical information such as water depths, height of land, natural features of the seabed, details of the coastline, navigational hazards, and information on tides and man made structures.
This need-to-know-information can be yours by making sure your boat is equipped with an up-to-date navigational chart. Charts are an excellent complement to any digital/electric navigational tool. As electronic screens tend to be small and can be unreadable in bright sunlight, a chart is always readable. And the large format of a chart allows you to see the big picture and detail that would perhaps be lost on small digital screens.
NOAA lithographic charts are considered the standard when it comes to paper charts. They are the final product of NOAA's expert cartographers who collect, interpret and then apply critical chart corrections on an ongoing basis. Unlike electronics, which require boaters to pan out and zoom in, paper charts always provide the "big" picture. "Anytime you zoom in, you've lost the relationship with other parts of the chart," says Richard Sillcox, NOAA's chief of Chart Update Service. "With paper charts, you can easily see those relationships."
Another plus for having updated paper navigational charts is that electronic chart products may contain outdated NOAA data, depending upon when the cartridge or software was purchased and whether the boater has gotten the data updated.
Many recreational mariners are wary of the reliability of electronics. "Any part of electronic navigation can - and will - fail," says Jeff Siegel, a BoatU.S. member in Maine. "Failures usually happen at the worst, most inopportune time. Redundancy of electronics is helpful, but 99% of all boaters don't have any electronic backup for the failure of the GPS system. Paper charts are the ultimate backup to electronics."
In short, navigational charts are a fail-safe backup to electronic systems and in general offer the big picture when it comes to navigating. When you add in the up-to-date-at-time-of-printing features of OceanGrafix POD charts, you have the best of both worlds.
can the epiphone les paul fit in the Kaces Grafix Hardshell Electric Guitar Case?
I am thinking of buying this case but i am not sure if the epiphone les paul will fit into it. It doesnt say anything in the description saying what guitars are good for it.
You should be fine, but since it isn't actually listed as an LP case there's no way to be sure. Maybe read some reviews on harmonycentral.com to see if any of the reviewers have used it with an LP.
