every time someone mentions brunswick, i'm going to post.  Here's some Rags-esque Drivel.  Enjoy.

============================================
Democritus first suggested the existence of the atom but it took almost two millennia before the atom was placed on a solid foothold as a fundamental chemical object by John Dalton (1766-1844). Although two centuries old, Dalton's atomic theory remains valid in modern chemical thought.

 
 Dalton's Atomic Theory

1) All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible.

2) All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties

3) Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.

4) A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.

Modern atomic theory is, of course, a little more involved than Dalton's theory but the essence of Dalton's theory remains valid. Today we know that atoms can be destroyed via nuclear reactions but not by chemical reactions. Also, there are different kinds of atoms (differing by their masses) within an element that are known as "isotopes", but isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties.

Many heretofore unexplained chemical phenomena were quickly explained by Dalton with his theory. Dalton's theory quickly became the theoretical foundation in chemistry.

Hmm, another mention of brunswick.  What say we discuss capitalism today?
============================================
Capitalism, economic system in which private individuals and business firms carry on the production and exchange of goods and services through a complex network of prices and markets. Although rooted in antiquity, capitalism is primarily European in its origins; it evolved through a number of stages, reaching its zenith in the 19th century. From Europe, and especially from England, capitalism spread throughout the world, largely unchallenged as the dominant economic and social system until World War I (1914-1918) ushered in modern communism (or Marxism) as a vigorous and hostile competing system.

The term capitalism was first introduced in the mid-19th century by Karl Marx, the founder of communism. Free enterprise and market system are terms also frequently employed to describe modern non-Communist economies. Sometimes the term mixed economy is used to designate the kind of economic system most often found in Western nations.

The individual who comes closest to being the originator of contemporary capitalism is the Scottish philosopher Adam Smith, who first set forth the essential economic principles that undergird this system. In his classic An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776), Smith sought to show how it was possible to pursue private gain in ways that would further not just the interests of the individual but those of society as a whole. Society's interests are met by maximum production of the things that people want. In a now famous phrase, Smith said that the combination of self-interest, private property, and competition among sellers in markets will lead producers “as by an invisible hand” to an end that they did not intend, namely, the well-being of society.

Well DBB will be pissed at you, but....

Here is lesson 2 on capitalism.

================================================

Characteristics of Capitalism

Throughout its history, but especially during its ascendency in the 19th century, capitalism has had certain key characteristics. First, basic production facilities—land and capital—are privately owned. Capital in this sense means the buildings, machines, and other equipment used to produce goods and services that are ultimately consumed. Second, economic activity is organized and coordinated through the interaction of buyers and sellers (or producers) in markets. Third, owners of land and capital as well as the workers they employ are free to pursue their own self-interests in seeking maximum gain from the use of their resources and labor in production. Consumers are free to spend their incomes in ways that they believe will yield the greatest satisfaction. This principle, called consumer sovereignty, reflects the idea that under capitalism producers will be forced by competition to use their resources in ways that will best satisfy the wants of consumers. Self-interest and the pursuit of gain lead them to do this. Fourth, under this system a minimum of government supervision is required; if competition is present, economic activity will be self-regulating. Government will be necessary only to protect society from foreign attack, uphold the rights of private property, and guarantee contracts. This 19th-century view of government's role in the capitalist system was significantly modified by ideas and events of the 20th century.

I'd think so.  If you enjoy storm i think that's all that matters.  And here's part 3 of our lesson on capitalism....

=====================================================

Origins

Merchants and trade are as old as civilization itself, but capitalism as a coherent economic system had its origins in Europe in the 13th century, toward the close of the feudal era. Human beings, Adam Smith said, have always had a propensity to “truck, barter, and exchange one thing for another.” This inclination toward trade and exchange was rekindled and stimulated by the series of Crusades that absorbed the energies of much of Europe from the 11th through the 13th centuries. The voyages of discovery in the 15th and 16th centuries gave further impetus to business and trade, especially following the vast flood of precious metals that poured into Europe after the discovery and conquest of the New World. The economic order that emerged from these events was essentially commercial or mercantile; that is, its central focus remained on the exchange of goods rather than on their production. Emphasis on production did not come until the rise of industrialism in the 19th century.
Before that time, however, an important figure in the capitalistic system began to emerge: the entrepreneur, or risk taker. A key element in capitalism is the undertaking of activity in the expectation that it will yield gain in the future. Because the future is unknown, both the risk of loss and the possibility of gain always exist. The assumption of risk involves the specialized role of the entrepreneur.
The thrust toward capitalism from the 13th century onward was furthered by the forces of the Renaissance and the Reformation. These momentous developments changed society enormously and paved the way for the emergence of the modern nation-state, which eventually provided the essential peace, law, and order crucial for the growth of capitalism. This growth is achieved through the accumulation of an economic surplus by the private entrepreneur and the plowing of this surplus back into the system for further expansion. Without some minimum of peace, stability, and continuity this process cannot continue.

You guys love my drivel don't you.  Here you go, Capitalism part 4.

==============================================

Mercantilism
Print Preview of Section

From the 15th to the 18th century, when the modern nation-state was being born, capitalism not only took on a commercial flavor but also developed in another special direction known as mercantilism. This peculiar form of capitalism attained its highest level in England.

The mercantilist system rested on private property and the use of markets for the basic organization of economic activity. Unlike the capitalism of Adam Smith, the fundamental focus of mercantilism was on the self-interest of the sovereign (that is, the state), and not the self-interest of the individual owners of economic resources. In the mercantilist era, the basic purpose of economic policy was to strengthen the national state and to further its aims. To this end the government exercised much control over production, exchange, and consumption.

The most distinctive feature of mercantilism was the state's preoccupation with accumulating national wealth in the form of gold and silver. Because most nations did not have a natural abundance of such precious metals, the best way to acquire them was through trade. This meant striving for a favorable trade balance—that is, a surplus of exports over imports. Foreign states would then have to pay for imports in gold or silver. Mercantilist states also favored maintaining low wages, believing that this would discourage imports, contribute to the export surplus, and thus swell the influx of gold.

More sophisticated proponents of the mercantilist doctrine understood that the real wealth of a nation was not its hoard of precious metals, but its ability to produce. They correctly saw that the influx of gold and silver from a favorable trade balance would serve as a stimulus to economic activity generally, thus enabling the state to levy more taxes and gain more revenue. Only a few states that practiced mercantilism, however, understood this principle.

==========================================================

Only 5 more sections on capitalism to go!  What should my next topic be? Oh, i know, a figurative clash, by doing it's counterpart, Communism.  I can even put in Marx's communist manifesto, and "Worker's of the World Unite"!!

Its hard to say how much oil the Hybrid will handle.Its a solid/pearl, but what covers? Curelyon?ACCU-tread?Curelyon2?Monsoon?HK4(doubtful)?Typhoon?
I am not too sure about the solid/pearl though, the Columbia M80 cover is supposed to react like a solid/pearl, but everyone I have seen throw one it skates past the break point or hooks early. Maybe I am just watching the wrong people. But, this might be a good Sport Shot ball. If its a strong cover i.e. Monsoon or ACCU-tread, the cover with the low diff will be great on a Sport Shot, in my opinion.  On tougher flatter shots I found low diff balls reacted better than high diff balls.

Astoroman-this is what it says on Stors sight "Reactorâ„¢ Hybrid Reactive"

Its pry a Monsoon mix i would guess? bc both prostoscks were mosoons.

What ive seen for covers mixe dliek this, is one color is the peral and the other color is the solid which just dosent go right, bc it good try to grab one time on the peral and slid, the next ball it would grab on the solid(which ever one is touching lane) and woudl have 2 differnt reactions.

And yes it does look liek the new vertigo will replace the Fear Factor. MAn this cover must be strong bc its a reactive and it wil handle alot of oil.

When i set up my new arsenal(which wont be for a while) this will be my hvy oil ball.

But im still looing for a single drill ACE!!!!

Dave Williamson-  The El Nino, Wrath, Gold, and I believe the 2002 all had the vertical dual density, which is dlose to the Flash Bulb, except the vertical had the densities split down the middle up and down with a block on the bottom and wrapped in an outer core. Looks like a Columbia messenger core.  The lightning flash had horizontal dual density, where the densities stacked on top of each other. Now the Bol.t and Skybolt had the original Lightning core light bulb weight block, flipped upside down and a flip block on top.  But, the Bolt Pro had a Red Sunstorm core in it, which was 2 pucks stacked on top of each other, on top of a ball type core.

Dirtbikebowler- I agree with you there, it reminds me of the Quantum Helix balls a little bit, resin and urethane.  It did get through the heads on the urethane strip, but once the flare started to migrate, the ball hit resin, urethane resin, (hook,skid,hook,skid). But I haven't even looked at the storm site yet, i'll have to do that tonight.

If anyone here had any sort of brain, you'd realize that we spammed the thread 2 weeks ago, realized it was wrong and then stopped.  YOu idiots are the ones bringing this back up....

I was originally in support of this whole thing (ask DBB about that, i helped him) until you idiots brought us into this for no reason.  I merely retaliated, not instigated.

I have nothing against storm, just stupid people who try to start fights.

Your little "righteous rant" came a good 2 weeks after everything had ended and everything was nice and peaceful and nobody had any problems.  It's quite obvious you're one of those odd people who have the need to be angry and fight about something or else you never would have done that.  ONly someone trying to start a fight that, if it ever existed had already ended, would bring up a post and make new ones trying to get things going.  PLease, find something better to do with your time than start little internet conflicts....

Lets stop comparing the companies when there not comparable they are both the top companies of all companies. They both make just as good of balls. Its just the person who throws them. I wish it was possible to be sponsored by both companies I'm sure storm bowlers could bowl just as good with the right brunswick ball as they could with a storm ball same with brunswick bowlers. Bowlings all about having the right ball on the right pattern every ball is a good ball on the right pattern. So lets all get along because I luv both companies I'm just with storm at the moment because don't have enough money to buy both companies balls.

I agree.  So why did you post in the spam post in the brunswick forum then?

KingPin69, the Pro pin ball should just be a longer pin.

DBB, lock this post, make a new one.  Like i said earlier, I'm not going to do anything..................Provided any idiots don't start anything.  YOu can expect me to retaliate if that is the case.......I retaliate, not instigate.

And you shouldn't be so rude to the co-creator of this idea anyways.  Ask DBB.

I feel like a dirty whore, I use both Storm and Brunswick. I'm so torn as to which side I should be on...I like both companies, I use both their stuff (see profile), but yet I cant decide where to go......can I just sit back and be the referee for this one?

If both work for you, just use both.  If you switched to Brunswick, you'd feel bad when a new storm ball comes out that you want to get, and vice versa.  If you've found a way to compare both and be able to make decisions, just keep using both.

As for desertsnake, I don't think anything i could say would make you look more stupid than you yourself have....

Oh please.  There is no way you could be so into a company that you think another ball is made by another.  IF taht was the case, you wouldn't even know the names of any other balls......

YOu DO realize, that with this whole post, both sides are looking like complete idiots, as noted by people who don't use either.

a_ak, I have found a way to work both companies into my game and create my "arsenal". I still like to have the one company mentality though. I want a backdraft though, see the other post (shameless plug).

I just think that Robert has had a tough time recently when it comes to making the correct move on the shows.  He has potential, but the last couple times now when he had to make an adjustment, he made the wrong one.  As for him and representing storm, I think he'd be good once he learns to adjust and start winning.

Yeah, i think people have gotten to used to seeing Robert hook the whole lane with tons of speed and revs, and are probably disappointed seeing him play straight.  But I'm glad that he's learned to become versatile.  If he could learn to time his ball/speed/hand adjustments better, he could be the dominant force on the tour.
