How many physical copies are left? I tried to buy one the day it was announced, but I'm having credit card issues.

What's IJI? Also, don't expect to get much business from these forums; you'd probably have more success posting on a game developers' forum or something similar, since a sizeable chunk of the people here are musicians looking for work.

Most of it is stuff that can be done either with no equipment or with a set of rings; and they sell a cheap set on that same site. My crosses were feeling great today. I'm making some minor changes to my rings routine to fit with the new code of points. Here's my current routine: Back uprise to cross Press to planche Drop, giant to handstand Bail forward, back uprise planche (needs work; I can do it to a straddle planche, but I need to get it to straight body planche) Press to inverted cross (still needs work; it's not consistent yet) Bail, back uprise to pike support Straight arm, straight body press handstand Giant Double layout (needs work) Start value: 15.9 My goal: Azarian (backward roll to cross) Press to maltese Press to planche Drop, giant to handstand Bail, piked Yamawaki (a double front while holding onto the rings) Tucked Yamawaki Back uprise planche Press to inverted cross Front giant OR pullout to handstand from the inverted cross Full twisting double layout OR double-twisting double tuck Start value: 16.3 with a double lay full, 16.4 with a tucked double double

For anybody interested: Chris Sommer's new book on strength training is now available for preorder at www.gymnasticbodies.com. I've already preordered my copy.

One Day Millenium has become the soundtrack to my training. I especially love Time's Eye. One of my all-time favorite electronic tracks. Nice work!

VBR encoding is your friend. SMaller filesize without significantly compromising quality.

Bump. I'd like to request a new sig. Something with guitars and an irish/celtic theme.

Sure! http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01451/ http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01599/ http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01587/ http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01427/ http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01619/ http://www.ocremix.org/remixer/neskvartetten/ (especially http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01050/) Those should start you off.

To me one of the best parts of remixing is completely throwing out the original feel and seeing what else can be done with the melody. You want the original feel, listen to the original track.

Haha, I was considering commenting on that myself.

Huh? With the exception of the most recent one, I really like the Artems Fowl series (in fact I'm rereading it right now). Still, though, I don't see the need for another hitchhiker book.

So one of my guys saw Danny Rodrigues on rings at the olympics, thought the front uprise to victorian was the coolest thing ever, and has been working obsessively to try to get a victorian ever since. The scary part: I think he might actually get it. Same student also cooked up a new exercise on rings that I'll probably be incorporating into my workouts from now on. It's a muscle up followed by a slow decent with straight arms (ie through a cross) back to a hang.

ARRRR! I'll be talking like a pirate at work today. Should be fun.

What do you mean "future"?

Sweet. Any plans for future libraries? I'd like to put in a request for a detailed library of ethnic woodwinds (shakuhachi, duduk, pan flute, etc)

I will definitely be getting this. By the way, what's a round robin?

The past week or so has been great; my routines have really been comming together, my rings strength has been improving tremendously, and I'm finally building up enough endurance to make it through a full floor routine. Unfortunately, I came up short on a rollout skill this morning. Managed to get my head under so I (barely) avoided any serious head/neck injuries (aside from a good hard slam on the back of the head), but I jarred my shoulder pretty badly. Definitely done for the day, and maybe done for the rest of the week. EDIT: I figure I'll probably know tomorrow morning how bad it really is. Either it will be completely fine like nothing happenned, or I won't be able to move my right arm at all. EDIT 2: Shoulder feels a lot better today, but I'm taking the day off from training at the gym just to be safe. Went for a 3 mile jog this morning, and it felt great.

Mmmm.... smooth and sexy. I like.

This seems to be missing a couple of my favorite tracks.

Awesome! Loved that show! Downloading

Ok, so what are you guys doing next? Terra's theme or Corridors of Time? Anyway, awesome mix. Just like your icecap mix, this breathes life into one of the most overmixed tracks in gaming history. nice work

In a way, though, I think his dissappearance is fitting. He was fully deserving of the status it has given him; he's more than a man, he's a legend. *cue fanfare*

Loved everything up to the tribal stage so far, but I'm finding that part to be a real pain in the ass.

I miss gray. He was always the voice of wisdom around here. Whatever he's up to, I hope things are going well for him.

Got a decent strength workout today. My crosses don't seem to be getting any stronger, but my planches and press handstands are definitely improving. I can now do a straight body, straight arm press handstand on rings (ie from support, through planche, all the way up to handstand with a straight body).
