Picking the right chain lubricant can be one of the more frustrating things you'll do as a cyclist. There's a million different types to pick: dry lubes, wet lubes, biolube, waxes, spray on, drip on, poly grease, cable lube, etc… The list goes on. And let's not even start on all the manufacturer proprietary technology. So what's the best kind of lube?
Well…that's really going to depend on what kind of riding you do, and what conditions you ride in.
Different chain lubricants are designed for different environments—because what may protect a chain or drivetrain component in one climate may actually do harm in another.
Before we delve into the different types of lubricants, let's get two things out of the way:
1. Most chains will come pre-lubricated from the factory. In the old days, this lubricant was merely a rust inhibitor, and cyclists were advised to first remove the grease before installing the chain. Modern chains, however, are a different story. The grease that comes on modern chains is a far superior lubricant to any that can be applied by the user. DO NOT remove the factory grease from a new bicycle chain (although it's ok to wipe off any excess) until it's time to really clean the chain. Most factory grease applications are good for several hundred miles.
2. CAUTION: Do not ever, ever, for any reason apply standard WD40, motor oil, or bike poly grease to your chain. Ever. Standard WD40 does contain a light lubricant, but unless it's applied after every ride it will end up drying out and stripping your chain. Motor oils contain detergents that will corrode your chain and destroy your cassette. Bike polygrease is intended for parts like bolts, pedal spindles and seatposts. It is a high viscosity grease that will completely clog your drivetrain and ruin your nice, expensive bike.
So, now that we have that out of the way, let's delve into the different types of lubricants.
Wet Lubricants:
Wet lubricants are ideal for wet, muddy or snowy conditions when rust is the main concern. Wet lube, as the name implies, will stay wet on the chain, instead of drying. It has a medium viscosity, so it's thick enough to stay on the chain, but thin enough to really soak into all the nooks and crannies to coat all the moving parts. Wet lube forms a protective barrier that prevents moisture from penetrating into your chain and forming rust in between the rivets. Wet lubricant is not advised for dusty conditions, as dust will stick to it and turn your greased chain into a belt sander. Also be advised that wet lube tends to collect a lot of dirt and debris as you ride, so it's important to A) only use it when conditions warrant, and B) clean your chain often when using wet lube.
Wet lube can also be used for other moving parts on the bike to keep them free of rust and improve performance. Places where it is commonly applied are the rear derailleur pivot points, front derailleur spring, and brake pivots.
For directions on application, click here.
Best for: cyclocross, urban riding, winter cycling, wet climates, long term bike storage
Dry Lubricants:
Unlike wet lubricants, dry lubes usually consist of a wax-like substance suspended in an alcohol-based solvent. About 3-4 hours after you apply the lubricant, the solvent will evaporate, leaving your chain with a light waxy film. Always make sure you allow sufficient time for the lube to dry before riding. The biggest advantage of dry lubricant is that it won't collect dirt or dust as you ride, but it doesn't inhibit rust as well. But for dry, dusty, or otherwise pleasant conditions, dry lube is the way to go.
For directions on application, click here.
Best for: road cycling, mountain biking, dry environments, summer riding
Spray vs. Drip:
Chain lubes generally either come in a spray can or a drip bottle. Which you use is up to you, but they both have their advantages and disadvantages. Spray-on lubricants are very fast and easy to apply, but they can be messy and make it difficult to be thorough. If you're using a spray-on lube, it can be difficult to keep your frame, wheels, and brake rotors clean. Drip on bottles on the other hand, make it easy to ensure that each roller and rivet has been lubricated and they are virtually mess-free. The downside is that, compared to spray on lube, it can take longer. In the end though, it all comes down to personal preference. Around these parts, we generally use drip bottles when we're at home or in the shop, and spray-on lube when we're at races or on the road.
Hot Wax Bath:
Hot wax is usually considered to be the gold standard of chain lubricants, since it nearly recreates the original factory grease of the chain. To apply hot wax, the chain is usually removed from the bike, and then soaked in a tub of hot wax, which completely coats the entire chain in a completely protective coating. This type of lubrication, however, requires special equipment, a lot of know-how, and quite a bit of patience. If you've got the time and gear though, a hot wax dip is legendary for improving chain function and prolonging wear-life. NOTE: while an excellent way to lubricate your chain, hot wax doesn't particularly last very long and may require frequent re-applications.
So Which One Is Right?
Well, we'd have to say that for this time of year (winter in the Northern Hemisphere), if you live in 90% of the U.S., you should be using a wet lubricant on your chain to protect it from the wet roads and corrosive salts you're likely to encounter. For those folks living in Arizona, Nevada and other desert states, you can probably get away with using a dry lubricant, but remember to apply it more often than you would in summer.
But no matter what type of lubricant you use, there is nothing that will protect your bike indefinitely. It's important to clean your bike thoroughly, especially if you've been riding in bad weather or after roads have been salted, and do preventive maintenance and check chain wear. If you're the type that doesn't ride all year, or that hangs up the race bike until Spring, then remember that your bike should be cleaned and well oiled, greased and lubricated before being put up for storage.

Amazing versatility, e.g. Menswear: A Basic T Turned Avant-Garde etc well constructed gender friendly, Great Job!!!
Feb 14, 2011, 03.27 PMby shkoober
I made a medium for my guy and it fits like a glove. I did shorten it though. Thanks a million, I'll be making these shirts for him as a staple gift! As for measurement questions, I used an existing t-shirt of his as my guide which size to cut, will post pictures of him with it soon. I had so much fun making this project! No serger used, all zig zag stitch. Thanks again! Super pattern!
May 6, 2010, 08.56 PMby gabriela barreda
Hello, first of all thank you very much for this t shirt pattern. I haven't started it yet because I have a doubt. Do the pattern size already includes the seam allowances or do I have to add them on the fabric? Pleaseeee clear things up for me. THANK YOU :D

May 10, 2010, 03.37 AMby eau-sewgreen
I think on the pattern it says 5/8 seam allowances are included?
May 3, 2010, 12.49 AMby ellecubed
aw, still no measurements? i'm just gonna go with a small for my tiny husband and hope that's right…
Nov 20, 2008, 10.00 AMby amettee
great pattern, do you have any measurements for how to make this a long sleeved T?
Jun 13, 2008, 03.25 PMby ledthread
Hi everybody.
I'm working on a How To and size chart for this!! I realized there is an easier way to sew it than the way I sewed it when I was taking pictures for the How To originally, so I'm going to redo it so you all have the best instructions.

Hi MargeauxVittoria
yes, it's in honor of Pete from Etsy! Besides helping us to get settled in our new space we think he's a great guy and now father of the most beautiful Sidonie.
Jeffrey: There's more to come! We just finished shooting a blazer….

Boys clothes!
Jun 4, 2008, 06.06 PMby mmmrphs
Excellent! I've already gotten my bloke over to the computer to have a look and he's happy with it. Keep the menswear coming!! The sizing will all be there when we print, won't it? Also, one measurement that's missing from the size chart info is shoulder width. Is there a standard shoulder width for menswear for future reference? Anyway, back to topic. Thankyou.
Jun 4, 2008, 03.42 PMby camilaustral
yeah i would like to know more about the sizing, my boyfriend is kinda my size, and i don't wan to make him a "dress" :D
Jun 4, 2008, 01.38 PMby petecorrie
Wow, I'm honored!! That's a handsome shirt.

On Saturday Night Live last night, AT&T and Nokia kicked off their advertising for the Nokia Lumia 920. In a new ad featuring Arrested Development's Will Arnett, the 920 was the featured device with the idea of "Working for Will".
The conceit of the ad is that Arnett is looking for a new personal assistant after his last "Todd" was replaced by the Lumia 920 and he decided to quit. The interview? Simply go to AT&T's site and there you can play with a virtual 920 where you ad and remove tiles, choose colors and basically get to experience the Windows Phone 8 UI.
The commercial is quite funny and we haven't met anyone who doesn't love Arnett, so in our book AT&T has done pretty well here. And seeing as the ad premiered during Saturday Night Live and we imagine will go into regular rotation, we see this a great move.
Head to AT&T's site for more info (www.workforwill.com) and let us know in comments what you think of the campaign. Thanks, fahdriyami and aubreyq for the links!

Tag: 'indy health expo'
January 28, 2010 at 8:42 am
You really don't want to know what this machine was doing:
Honestly, even I don't know what this machine was doing, and I was too afraid to ask for fear they'd try to pressure me into trying it too. All I know is that the machine wiggled that man back and forth, making him do a human snake impression. This happened last weekend at the inaugural Indy Health Expo at the state fair grounds.
When I saw the fair advertised on Twitter, I thought the $10 entry fee and $3 parking fee would be well worth the potential blog material. And it's a tax write-off too! The expo consisted of almost 100 booths where exhibitors displayed their wares and/or services. There were also four "stages" set up at the corners where some exhibitors were scheduled to do presentations during the day.
There was a real range of people there, including chiropractors, yoga practitioners, massage therapists giving back rubs in their booths, martial artists, plastic surgeons who had assistants so impeccably groomed they frightened me, dentists bleaching […]

Arctangent Festival
£60. yes please.
Fuck Buttons
And So I Watch You From Afar
Future of the Left
Bo Ningen
Three Trapped Tigers
Rolo Tomassi
Yndi Halda
Arcane Roots
Johnny Foreigner
That Fucking Tank
The Physics House Band
You Slut!
Among Brothers
Otherwise, looks mega.
even Bristol really. Closer to Glastonbury than Brizzle.
Since when did Fuck Buttons get popular enough to headline a festival, even a small one at that?
Olympic soundtrack celebrities nowadays, no?
Anyway, I've paid my £60 - looks like a cracking line up.
And my birthday too, neat!
Same weekend as EoTR
Otherwise would be tempting.
I've seen a lot of these bands a lot of times.
Still going to be a blast though.
Fab line-up
Booked my ticket, well looking forward to it.
oh baby
"You guys are in for a treat! A big, heavy, smack-you-in-the-face, treat!
We're really pleased to let you know that we've teamed up with the legends at Damnation Festival. They've agreed to curate one our stages at ArcTanGent and have handpicked eight massive bands who have previously graced the stages at their amazing Leeds one dayer We're calling Friday 30th August at ArcTanGent our "Day of Damnation" and it's gonna kick some serious balls!
So without further ado, we are stoked to announce that Earthtone9 will be headlining our 2nd stage with some of the UK's heaviest (and most experimental) bands including Dragged into Sunlight, Bossk, Devil Sold His Soul, Winterfylleth, Humanfly, Manatees and Astrohenge."
it wouldn't have made sense if they hadn't played i guess!
Dunno, this all feels a bit late-2000s at Junktion7 to me. Though the way its being run is very impressive.
Haven't seen DSHS in years (since their shitty second album basically - actually I say it's shit I'm not sure I ever really gave it a chance).
I really really want to go to this festival. Need to rope in someone to come with me.
Just checked this, by the way
He did leave in May. Not sure I can be bothered, only want to hear Fragile Hope stuff anyway.
The second DSHS album is amazing in my book
Although hardly anyone seems to agree with me. Still, have to say that they're always pretty bad live when I see them. Maybe new vocalist will have changed things a bit but they just always sound so tame on stage.
I had no idea Bossk had reformed
I am going to this
I can't wait. But i'll have to.
It's the same weekend as I get made redundant. Jackpot
Deffo going to this now!
My only problem is that I'm an old man who doesn't really like camping. Does anyone know of any decent hotels around the area or in Bristol city centre?
Public Service Broadcasting
Delta Sleep
Nordic Giants
Fat Goth
Memory of Elephants
Howard James Kenny
Charlie Barnes
Non-classical DJs
I thought that too, saw his name the other day.
Turns out it's a mental one-man math rock band?!
Gonna go see him at the OBL next week as it's free.
Still think this looks really good value...
...for the undercard and hanging out in the country, but not too far from the city opportunities.
UpCDownC <333333
Might go to this.
Hmm, really fancy this
Enjoyed 2000Trees a lot last year - how can I persuade my girlfriend to look after the baby for a few days while I go partying?
Thursday line up announced)
Maybeshewill (fan voted set)
Falling Stacks
Memory of Elephants
With the Thursday thing
Are these bands playing on the Friday/Saturday aswell?
maybeshewill will play another standard set
not heard anything about the others though..
sat/sun line up is coming up in a couple of weeks
We (Falling Stacks) are not
can't comment on the others though. Can also recommend definitely catching POHL - they're brilliant. We're also ok.
Friday/Saturday split announced for the Arc (main stage)
along with a bit of map
That stage looks really cool
Quite excited now.
its certainly a bit different
way the speakers are around you mean it should be a good sound in the middle
OMG OMG I know the answer
Got this one in the bag.JimmyHuntspill and Matt_was_taken this'd this
i think it's the stage they used for Spirit of '71 at Glastonbury this year.
and has been used for other things there in the past. I saw Squarepusher on it 5 or 6 years ago.
- Matt_was_taken this'd this
- plasticniki this'd this
Feel free to enter the competition, just up there
then your tickets are free...
- JimmyHuntspill and badmanreturns this'd this
I won tickets to this
properly excited.
Falling Stacks (from the drum riser)
Thought Firns
Public Service Broadcast
65 DoS
Fuck Buttons
See you there.
Finally bought my ticket for this.
Looking forward to it!
fair. Should be good though - the line-up is well 2008.
I saw yesterday that And So I Watch You From Afar and TTNG are doing a free show at Old Blue this month as well.
Didn't mean to ^this this, but yeah I'm gonna go to that TTNG show probably as Marcus is up for it
Hopefully this festival will be like Truck when I first went in 2006.
I have a spare ticket if anyone wants to go
let me know as I would sell a weekend plus Thursday night entry ticket for £50. (£20 cheaper than normal) I'd just need to get the name changed on it. Should be an awesome festival, can't wait
technically yes
but I am still going. I just now have 2 tickets
Is it actually possible to transfer tickets to someone else?
I have a spare too if so so will do similar to you.
Buy Jimouthargyle's ticket
Then buy mine for the same price. Only for sale as the vendor has found themselves a guestlist place, so can sell. Includes the thursday too. B O O M.
My ticket has now been sold. Please direct all future black market ticket requests to JamesHuntspill
Mine is still available
Ithica, do get in touch and it is yours. Cheers.
Ticket still available
Get in touch if interested. B O O M

To coincide with this months ArcTanGent Festival you can download a copy of the latest The Pirate Ship Quintet album for nothing!! It will be available for one week only from now untill next Sunday 18/08:
heres the clashfinder again..
if annyone wants to recommends some bands i should see thatd be great.
You there for thursday?
You've got to see POHL. They slay.
i am indeed
will make sure i see them. (and falling stacks, natch)
Castrovalva are loads of fun
They're definitely worth seeing. Surprised to see Yndi Halda squirreled away so low on the bill as well.
2 bands Ive not really heard
will check them out, cheers Steved
Yndi Halda are great live
Vessels are probably the best live band in the country imo, they're incredible. Haven't seen TTNG with their new vocalist Henry yet, so excited for that. Delta Sleep are really good from what I've heard. Theo is a one-man math band - looks interesting if nothing else.
Yeah, really looking forward to seeing Vessels in particular
Heard Attica, and if the rest of their new stuff is as good as that, then it will all be very good indeed.
I've seen them twice since they adopted this more electronic set up
It doesn't disappoint.JustJay this'd this
What time are bands on on the Thursday?
Probably wouldn't be able to get upto the site until 7.30/8ish. If that would miss Talons, might just have to go up on the Friday.
Bands start at 4pm on thursday
Think they go on until 11pm. I reckon you are clear for Talons - near as dammit.
great info!
cheersboothyfearssatan this'd this
Might have to scoot up Thursday then.
I think thursday has the capacity to be a low key good time
in a nice place. I'm keen.
Talons are on at 7:30
From their Facebook page. I'm going tomorrow, let's go fucking mental. So many bands i want to see, don't know how I'll have time to go to the bar or eat. Great problem to have though.
This looks great.
Massively jealous.
still available.
Still available.
Make me an offer. Preferably monetary.
Won a pair of tickets to this.
I missed this sort of music at 2000 Trees. The times have been scheduled so well too. I can see about ten bands a day and there's only the one clash for me (The Physics House Band vs Devil Sold His Soul)
My pal is looking to shift his tickets for this
Giz a shout if you're interested.
I'm going to this now
happy to purchase a spare ticket off someone or I'll buy one from the site today.
You got mail
- Spicer, Matt_was_taken, ithica, benfyffemusic, badmanreturns, niallKP, and JimmyHuntspill this'd this
Is there a legible version of the clashfiner
I've now got 2 spares for this.
I know it's close to the start and there's still tickets available so open to offers. They are weekend camping tickets starting Friday.
2 tickets still available.
Does £50 for the pair tempt anyone? PM me.
- shes_so_high this'd this
Not sure I've ever been to a festival with so many bands I want to see in a short space of time
14 bands in two days? Why not.
Hah, yeah.
The Saturday in particular is just back to back brilliance.
Had a great weekend
FOTL, Fuck Buttons, That Fucking Tank, Bo Ningen, Dragged Into Sunlight, Manatees, Thought Forms all totally did it for me. Great food, nice people and all really easy too. Well done everyone.
(well everyone except all of those dire "math rock" bands that just sounded like an instrumental Coldplay)
The best line up of any festival since the Caribou/Battles/Les Savy Fav ATP
My top 10: That Fucking Tank, Fat Goth, Public Service Broadcasting, Tall Ships, Bo Ningen, Cleft, Vessels, ASIWYFA, Fuck Buttons and Theo. a 3 minute walk to any stage from my tent is great, post bands there weren't many options apart from the silent disco but enjoyed a hookah last night.
Loads and loads of fun
Enjoyed a great many bands (Public Service Broadcasting, Castrovalva, That Fucking Tank, Vessels, Delta Sleep everyone from Three Trapped Tigers onwards on Saturday), crowd was great, weather was nice, food was cheap, you could take your own booze everywhere. Only downers were a couple of really dull bands (what the hell happened to Islet? Fucking hell...) and getting a bit bored of that sort of math-rock band from about Friday afternoon onwards. Otherwise, great times, seeing how genuinely stunned the bands were at the reactions they were getting was really heartwarming.
That was so much fun
How great was the silent disco?
So good
I know all the bands were saying it, but it really did feel like one of the best festivals around and there was just this great vibe running through the entire weekend.
Top Ten would probably be
- Bossk
- Upcdownc
- The absolutely face melting psychedelic sounds of Bo Ningen
- Theo, loved it when people were chanting his name at the end
- Axes (who also get my vote for the band who looked like they were having the most incredible time on stage)
- 65daysofstatic (I never thought I'd actually get to hear Debutante live)
- You Slut!
- Maybeshewill
- Cleft (I hadn't heard a single note of their music up until then what a band)
Also massive props for the guys running Fernhill farm who were offering the bunk bed accommodation in the barn for wusses like me that don't like camping.
- shimmetry, Steved, and wewerewerewolvesonce this'd this
oh also
great to see a couple of DiSers there (and I think I recognized one or two others).
Bo Ningen were unbelievable
and the crowd seemed to be properly up for it. The last song/jam was mental. Other highlights include:
-Fuck Buttons,
-That Fucking Tank,
-St Pierre Snake Invasion,
-Giant Swan (In fact most things on PX3 were great, especially Tom Beef who wins for pure entertainment)
-Islet. I can't quite see why everyone else thought they were such a disappointment. I would definitely put them in my 4 best things of the festival
-Silent Disco (Milkshake being one of the highlights.)
-Tall Ships
All in all a great weekend, but I think it could have been made better without so many generic post-rock bands, but that's just me as it's not quite my cup of tea.
Well this was loads of fun
Bands were great, food was good, the sun shone and everyone was friendly. And they played the Jurassic Park theme at the silent disco. Ideal.benfyffemusic this'd this
best weekend
fairly perfect, friday night silent disco was probably top 5 times of my life. absolutely ruined now, must have smoked about 80 fags.
bossk, though. best
It was awesome
Everyone was so bloody friendly! Met loads of top people. The music was excellent, I didn't get as 'mathed out' as I was worried I might.
And I've got to agree about the silent disco - though my friend and I didn't get headphones, we just went in the middle of it all and listened to you all singing, it was amazing :D
Amazing stuff
Vessels, 65dos, Bossk (that vocalist, incredible stuff), Delta Sleep, FOTL (TWO Mclusky songs!), Three Trapped Tigers, TTNG, Yndi Halda... just so much good music.
The silent discos was possibly the most fun I've ever had. Cap'n Jazz into Destiny's Child into Jurassic Park? Incredible, cheers TTNG.
Amazingly nice people. Great beer.
Can't really think of any negatives! Oh, apart from Islet, who are possibly the worst band I've ever seen.
Oh yeah, I hope they can get Adebisi to play next time.
ISIWYFA are basically a less interesting version of them.
The Jurassic Park thing was Tall Ships I think wasn't it? They were talking about playing movie themes during their set.
Both were great though.
What was the mental shout along metal track that Tall Ships played
After ' Milkshake' ? Instant indie points for those more in the know than me.
Ah I thought it was TTNG cos they were playing loads of Kinsella
Can't remember what song that was, Milkshake was fucking boss though. Was it Slipknot? There was so much Slipknot :D
Pretty sure it was Duality by Slipknot
(Although I probably lose indie points for knowing that...)ithica this'd this
I think you are right
Doesn't sound quite as massive through an iPad speaker. :/
It was great fun
although I spent most of yesterday in a terrible mood. FotL were excellent, and Falling Stacks were quite good. I enjoyed the beef roll. It seemed that everyone was wearing a Metz T shirt apart from me. Nice to have plenty of space to camp and all in short walking distance. Well done to those involved
ooh yeah i was wearing a metz jumper
i was speaking to some random guy for like 5 minutes about Mclusky until we realised we had the same outfit on. Good story.
Meet Me In St Louis at the silent disco was top 5 material
NO LET ME GUESSbenfyffemusic and ithica this'd this
At best. it's a good job you weren't playing yesterday.
I would have kicked right off. And stormed out
You would have stormed off...
...foaming at the mouth from the Rennie overload.jimouthargyle this'd this
Also Tall Ships are such amazing people.
could only make saturday but damn
how great was it? anyone catch Nordic Giants? incredible feathered costumed, crazy short film post rock weirdness.
Islet were not great. I actually own a record of theirs from when I saw them at green man. I must have been blazed out of my fucking mind.
They were brilliant at Green Man
That's why I was so surprised they were so dreadful at ArcTangent. I was sat on the grass just outside the tent-thing and it was glaringly obvious that most people thought they sucked, it went from being pretty full to about 50 people by the end. Only let down of the weekend for me.
I've seen them be really good before
Didn't watch them properly this time as folks I was with weren't into them. But I've seen them a couple of times before, once they were shocking, but the other time they were really good.
Thought it was halfway between enjoyable and a car crash.
Some of the doubled up percussion bits were awesome.
I quite liked them
admittedly this could be because they sounded completely different to any other band at the festival.
what is it they say these days?
well jel? :(boggins this'd this
Anyone else see the guy doing the spoken word version of Killing in the name on Friday?
In the shisha tent? Cracked me up that did.
I do not want to be at work today.
Nordic Giants were mindblowing.
The goodness of this weekend
(yes, goodness)
is somewhat amplified when you remember it was £59 (£69 for three days). Thats ridiculous.
Just been looking at ATP tickets (yes yes I know), and it is £190 + bf. Think End of the Road is £175. I understand the differences, but not sure i see the value anymore.
Double-so for me.
I won a free ticket. They should have asked for donations at the end of the festival, not the beginning – think I would have given them £60 outright.
Completely this
I was torn between this and End of the Road because I really wanted to see Sigur Ros. But there's no way I'd have had as much fun there than I did here. And when you consider the £100 difference, if it clashes again next year, there won't even be a decision to be made.
what a brilliant weekend
unfortunately we could only go for the saturday / sunday but we had so much fun. Superbly organised festival, everything seemed to go without a hitch. Stage management was very efficient with proper soundchecking and support etc. Really liked the way the camping was set up. Met some really friendly people who all seemed to be having a cool time. Excellent food choices too. And the silent disco was amazing fun; possible highlight being half of our group dancing to YMCA and the other half to Slipknot! hahah! I had guestlist this year as my boyfriend's band were playing but if they don't next year I think we'd all be happy to pay and go again. I can't wait. Bo Ningen were awesome. Fuck Buttons was fun although we only caught the end. Nordic Giants were cool.
Only bad organisational thing was the shuttle bus to and from Bristol Temple Meads. That was a car crash. It took close to an hour each way and I know several people missed trains home as a result. We had to run for ours despite being packed and in the queue on site with 2+ hours to spare before it departed.
Also a handpull ale would be nice next year.
Yeah, the YMCA/ Slipknot thing was great
I decided to sit on the fence and do the YMCA while listening to Slipknot.
Outstanding Festival
Best British Festival I'v e ever been to.
The Organisers and everyone else involved can be extremely proud of themselves.
Hilights for me
1. 65DaysOfStatic - Absolutely imperious on Friday night. Last saw them in 2009 at Heaven. (5th time in total)
2. Bo Ningen - What a live band. The 15 minute set closer was epic. One of the best live acts around. (13th time in total)
3. Public Service Broadcasting - They even had 2 crowd surfers!!! Up there with the best I've seen them. They impressed alot of people I spoke to after their set. (8th time in total)
4. And So I Watch You From Afar - 1st time for me. They rocked. Of all the acts I saw for the inaugural time, they were the best.
5. Fuck Buttons - Great sound, great visuals and a crowd that were up for a dance. Superb. (5th time in total)
6. Amplifier - Had one or two problems with their soundcheck and had to cut their set short on the Thursday on Yokhai stage, but Sel and the boys were wonderful. Closed with Motorhead and Panzer. (10th time in total)
7. Charlie Barnes - Had already played with Amplifier, but his solo set on the tiny PX3 stage was a joy. Started his set by wandering into the crowd outside the tent and singing without a microphone. Got everyone into the tent then played around with loops and stuff. (2nd time in total)
8. Humanfly - Another 1st. Very impressive Post Rock. loved the EP and they nailed it live.
9. Thought Forms - Blissed out Psychedelia from this 3 piece. Saw them at Shacklewell Arms only a few days before for the 1st time. Wonderful stuff. (2nd time in total)
10. St Pierre Snake Invasion - Punk/Metal, not normally my bag, but when anything is done well, you have to take note. Will definitley see them again.
Other fine sets from:
That Fucking Tank (Tent was rammed, so listened from outside).
Alright The Captain
Psychics House Band
Three Trapped Tigers
Oxygen Thief
Deej Dhariwhal
Have to write the review now
Not sure where to start...
Let us know when the review is up
Have only found terrible local paper type ones so far.
Was class
My top 10 is:
1. ASIWYFA – Best show I have ever seen. Great crowd, band, everything really.
2. Tall ships
3. 65daysofstatic
4. Maybeshewill
5. Axes
6. Brontide
7. TTNG (back on form after 2k trees)
8. Physics house band
10. Delta sleep
A friend of mine went to this
said it was class - really great line-up and chilled out atmosphere, and considering it was the first one, really well organised. I'll maybe have to make a trip next year.
My review is up, it's taken a bit of an editorial beating (it may have been rather long) but enjoy nonetheless
those who were at the festival
might have remembered this chap wandering about
Oh god
The ginger guy with two names in the first video...I stumbled upon his campsite on Saturday afternoon. He emerged from his tent, fully naked, proceeded to piss right next to his tent whilst singing 'I'm a respectable member of society'...
Yeah, I did spot him.
Will watch it later so I can get excited if I spot myself walking by in the background.
I know for a fact I'm in at least one of these
But can't be bothered to find myself.
I can
Being in the background of a video for a math rock blog is the closest to fame I'll ever get. If it happens, I will cherish it.benfyffemusic this'd this
I saw my tent
But not myself. Damn.
i just think he's really rude and try hard and irritating
probably a nice IRL, but if he was talking to me and acting like that to me off or on camera i'd want to boot him
i like the idea
but he REALLY needs to work on his interviewing skills
My mate Matt took some nice photos so you can relive all your favourite sets now
Can't believe I'd forgotten about Baby Godzilla until this
They were so much fun.
My pals and I started a 'row-row-row your boat' to Baby G
They were great, reminded me a bit of Pulled Apart by Horses in energy.
Tickets on sale
for next year!

National Cotton Council leaders are praising the U.S. Trade Representative Office's filing of an appeal against the latest ruling in the WTO case brought by Brazil against the U.S. cotton program.
A USTR spokesman said the appeal maintains the United States has brought its programs into full compliance with the recommendations in the original cotton case and challenges the WTO's "erroneous findings" on U.S. support payments and export credit guarantees.
"We appreciate the action of the Trade Representative's office, and we look forward to working with them to reverse the compliance panel's ruling against U.S. cotton," said Larry McClendon, the NCC's newly elected chairman.
"It is difficult to understand how the United States could be deemed to be depressing world prices of cotton when world prices are rising, U.S. production is declining and expenditures under the cotton loan program have fallen to zero for 2007 and are expected to continue to be small or non-existent."
USTR officials said they hoped the appeal, filed Feb. 12, would vindicate the actions of the Bush administration and Congress in moving to respond to the ruling of the first two WTO panels in the Brazil cotton case.
"We are appealing because the changes made by the United States have brought its programs into full compliance with the WTO's recommendations and rulings in the original cotton case," said a USTR spokesman. "We were very disappointed with the compliance panel's findings. The appeal challenges the erroneous findings on both U.S. support payments and export credit guarantees."
McClendon, a ginner from Marianna, Ark., noted that as U.S. production has declined, production and exports from Brazil and India have increased to take its place in the world market and China's domestic production also has increased — benefiting from trade barriers that keep internal prices high.
"I have trouble with countries blaming the United States for depressing world market prices, while at the same time, they are expanding their production and exports," McClendon said.
He said the U.S. cotton industry also hopes this appeal will lead to better clarity in the WTO panel decisions. "We have seen three panels state that the U.S. cotton program was causing significant price suppression," he noted, "but not one of those rulings has remotely quantified what they thought was 'significant.'
"We have no workable standard — even after three panel decisions although the U.S. cotton industry has asked for more information. We believe that the U.S. cotton program has never had any more than a minimal impact on world cotton prices."
"Given the opportunity presented in the Doha negotiations, we have emphasized all along the importance of delivering reform in agricultural trade through negotiations rather than litigation," said Gretchen Hamel, the USTR spokesman. "We therefore hope that WTO members, including developing countries like Brazil, will see the benefit of working together to deliver real progress in the Doha negotiations."

DeShields displays tools in AFL, including in center field
In this year's Arizona Fall League, Astros prospect Delino DeShields is showing why he was the club's first-round selection in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft.
DeShields has a combination of speed and hitting ability that projects him to be a top-of-the-order table-setter and run producer. He has the tools to beat the opposition with his bat or his legs.
In this year's Arizona Fall League, Astros prospect Delino DeShields is showing why he was the club's first-round selection in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft.
DeShields has a combination of speed and hitting ability that projects him to be a top-of-the-order table-setter and run producer. He has the tools to beat the opposition with his bat or his legs.
Perhaps DeShields' extreme athletic ability was helped by the gene pool. His dad, Delino DeShields, had a fine 13-year career as a big league second baseman. But the younger DeShields -- No. 7 on the Astros' Top 20 Prospects list, according to MLB.com -- is a different player than his dad. He has an identity of his own.
The elder DeShields played at 6-foot-1, 170 pounds. The younger Delino is 5-foot-9, 205 pounds. His physical presence belies his speed.
The current edition has an extremely strong upper body and shortish legs. He has the look of a football linebacker. In fact, he played football as well as baseball in his Georgia high school days.
DeShields hit .415 with nine home runs and 29 stolen bases as a senior. Instead of going to one of the many colleges he considered, he instead became a Houston Astro after they selected him eighth overall.
DeShields began his career playing center field for Class A Greeneville in the Appalachian League. That was the last time he played center in the Astros' system. Until now.
DeShields has returned to center field after playing three seasons at second base. I really like what I've seen of him so far in the Peoria Javelinas' outfield. More about that later.
At the plate, DeShields is selective and patient in his approach. He "gets it." He knows the value of working a pitcher deep into the count and accepting a walk so he can best utilize his speed. This past season, at Class A Advanced Lancaster, he walked 57 times in 534 trips to the plate. The walks and his 143 hits resulted in 51 stolen bases. He had 25 doubles, 14 triples and five home runs, contributing to his fine .317 batting average.
Of his statistics this past season, the number of triples is especially noteworthy. A triple is a rare and exciting accomplishment. It requires a drive to a deep part of the ballpark, speed to navigate the bases, and good instincts and discipline to read the coach's instructions. But that's the type of player I have seen in DeShields. He has a complete package of skills that complement his baseball intelligence and instincts. It's impressive to watch.
Using a short, compact swing, DeShields makes good contact. His swing is rather flat, resulting in sharp line drives as opposed to fly balls. With his speed, that's an ideal approach. Line drives have a way of clearing the outfield wall if hit with enough authority. I believe that will happen. But I don't believe that's what DeShields intends with his hitting mechanics.
DeShields doesn't really get much of his trunk into his swing, depending more on his upper body and fast hands to drive the ball to all fields. I've seen him take pitches to deep center field with his barrel-of-the-bat approach.
Defensively, DeShields doesn't look the part of a center fielder. Looks can be deceiving.
He reads the ball off the bat extremely well. I have been quite surprised at the excellent routes he has taken in the difficult high Arizona sky. He has speed to close on balls in the air and enough athletic ability to handle balls hit off the wall while covering the gaps. His speed will be an asset in playing the difficult Tal's Hill at Minute Maid Park. However, if there is any deficiency in his outfield play, it is mediocre arm strength.
Billy Hamilton, perhaps the fastest player in baseball, recently made the transition from the infield to the outfield. Players like Hamilton and DeShields have the athletic ability, speed and agility to master a new, more unfamiliar role.
DeShields should bring high energy and excitement to the Astros when he finishes his development. He is progressing extremely well.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - It was not surprising when MIT took Regis College by storm from the opening whistle of Tuesday night's game at Jack Barry Field. But the Engineers exceeded expectations, jumping out to a 6-0 lead before the first 21 minutes had ticked off the clock. The six first half goals were a team record for the Engineers, who coasted to a 9-1 victory over the Pride. MIT also set a team best mark for most points accumulated in a game, 24. Junior Anna Ayuso was sensational, pumping in nine points of her own.
MIT's senior co-captains set the tone early and began the assault on Regis. Noelle Kanaga dished the ball from the side of the net to Deanna Lentz, who was camped out in front for an easy goal. Four minutes later at 7:19, Lentz fired a shot and teammate Anna Ayuso deflected it home for her first of four goals on the evening. Ayuso then capitalized on a rebound at 9:41, and senior Cheryl Texin followed with another score on a penalty corner pass from Kanaga. Ayuso tallied her third goal of the half at 20:24 when she deflected a pass from sophomore Lauren McCarthy past Regis freshman goalkeeper Kristen Tavares. Lentz and senior Lauren Nowierski hooked up for the sixth MIT goal 23 seconds later, completing the record-setting half for the Engineers. MIT bested their five goal, first half effort set against Curry College on October 2, 1986.
After MIT's sixth goal, the Pride substituted goalie Tavares for junior Aislynn Quinn, and Regis responded. The Pride got on the board at 21:22 of the first half when senior co-captain Kimberly Luciani netted a pass from junior Leah Boniface. The goal was only the fifth of the season for the winless Pride.
The second frame was more of the same firepower from MIT, and the Engineers put up three more goals on the scoreboard. McCarthy found the back of the cage at 38:25, and Ayuso and freshman Janet Pan scored a minute apart later in the half to make the score 9-1. Pan's goal, assisted by Ayuso, was the 24th team point of the game for the Engineers, breaking the previous record of 22 set against Wheelock College on September 26, 1992. The assist was also the team-leading 22nd point of the year for Ayuso. Despite constant pressure from MIT, there was no scoring in the final 15 minutes of the game.
MIT outshot the Pride 34-5 and improved to 9-2 on the season with the record-setting win. For Regis College (0-11), the defeat extended their losing streak to 11 games. The Pride have yet to find the win column this season.
The Engineers travel to Northampton, Massachusetts on Saturday, October 8 to battle conference rival Smith College. The game is the first of six tough NEWMAC contests for the Engineers to close out the regular season.

Athens, Feb 17: Seismologists say two earthquakes have struck southwestern Greece, both with preliminary magnitudes 5 but with different epi-centres. No injuries or damage were immediately reported.
The Athens Geodynamic Institute said the first quake struck at 5-12 a.m. (0312 GMT) Sunday, with an epi-centre beneath the seabed 69 km south-west of the Ionian island of Zakinthos. The second struck more than two hours later off the south-western shore of the Peloponnese.
The U.S. Geological survey gave the first quake a preliminary magnitude of 4.9, and the second 5. Preliminary magnitudes often vary in the early hours after a quake.
Greece is in an earthquake-prone region, but most have epi-centres deep beneath the seabed and rarely cause damage or injuries.

CRESTVIEW � Residents may have concerns about adopting or providing foster care for children, Emmanuel Baptist Church�s Justin Wyatt said.
CRESTVIEW � Residents may have concerns about adopting or providing foster care for children, Emmanuel Baptist Church�s Justin Wyatt said.
Prospective parents may be interested but �fear the unknown,� he said; concerns could range from financial � can they financially care for a child? � to emotional � would a foster parent grow too attached to a child in their temporary custody?
In addition, �there is a fear that the child may be difficult .... (but) they have to remember that these children did not ask for these circumstances,� Wyatt said.
Emmanuel Baptist Church and St. Mark United Methodist Church have scheduled meetings to demystify adoption and foster care.
Emmanuel's program will offer information on foster care services and local, national and international adoption.
"Many people think that adoption is a great idea, but they don't know where to start," Wyatt said.
Representatives of Crestview Orphan Care, a ministry of the church that provides awareness and support for adoptive and foster families, can offer some tips during the meeting, he said.
Lisa Ausley, a minister at St. Mark UMC, said becoming a foster parent can offer children some stability, and benefit guardians, too.
"Such a blessing comes with it," she said. "How many of us really have the opportunity to shape a life ... possibly for eternity?"
WHAT: Adoption and foster care meeting
WHEN: 6 p.m. Monday
WHERE: Emmanuel Baptist Church, 3252 E. James Lee Blvd.
CONTACT: RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com.
WHAT: Foster care meeting, with lunch
WHEN: 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Nov. 10

CRYSTAL LAKE – Local historians concede there may be some confusion about the date of the city-wide centennial celebration.
Because Crystal Lake was founded – as a village – many years before the 1914 date we're celebrating a year from now this month. The 1914 date refers to when Crystal Lake became a city.
"We just love a reason to party," Crystal Lake Historical Society President Diana Kinney said, laughing.
The village of Crystal Lake was established in 1836 when Beman and Polly Crandall came by way of covered wagon from New York and built their home in an area that is now Route 14 and Van Buren Street.
The area initially was divided into two separate and distinct communities – Crystal Lake and Nunda (pronounced Nun-day, according to local historians). Nunda, later named North Crystal Lake, was christened after an area in New York from where many local settlers came. It came North Crystal Lake in 1908.
An election in 1914 officially incorporated the two villages. But it was not without an uphill battle – both communities had to approve it, and for years neither wanted to.
"I think they liked having their own identity – that was probably the biggest thing," Kinney said
The question of whether or not to annex North Crystal Lake into Crystal Lake was on the ballot four times, starting in 1894. Each time voters rejected it.
Apart, each community heal its own. The railroad, which still runs through modern day downtown, helped expand North Crystal Lake, and the namesake lake was a boon for Crystal Lake. (It's worth noting that the train depot that still stands today was built in 1914).
In the lead up to the 1914 vote, the local newspaper called the annexation question "a momentous one." Departing from journalistic objectivity, the Crystal Lake Herald – on its front page – cited the advantages of joining forces. Perhaps the biggest was connecting North Crystal Lake residents to Crystal Lake's water well, which was said to provide water that was far superior.
In 1914, the Crystal Lake Herald looked much liked what one might expect of a newspaper at the time – long, meandering columns running up and down the page. Society and farm news and school sports were front-page stories, and ubiquitous headlines often proclaimed "death takes old resident."
But the impending election stole headlines that year. It was historic on several fronts: Not only would it be the one to eventually unite the twin villages, it also was the first election in which women were allowed to vote.
The newspaper dedicated column inches to promote seminars to "teach the ladies how to vote." Nearly as many women as men voted in that election – 479 women to 504 men.
Villagers in North Crystal Lake were far more supportive of the measure, where it won by a wide margin.
After the landslide victory, subsequent elections were held to elect village officers, and Crystal Lake officially became a city on Sept. 23, 1914.
The rest, as they say, is history.

Was thinking of getting a bike again but doesn't seem to be much action on here ?
I'm afraid that everyone seems to be on Facebook nowadays and whilst I do have an account I really really hate it as it seems to kill off most forums.
Ahh I see mate, do you know any of the Facebook groups ? Also where are things put up for sale now , I remember when the for sale page on here used to be jam packed
Fab racing this weekend at whilton mill karting Northampton

Is there still a lot of people race the minis ? Do indoor kart tracks still run nights ?
From what I have heard grids are roughly 10-12 riders everyone races proddies and yep hully (m4 karting) on Friday nights Swindon karting (wroughton) is on Sunday's and not sure about everywhere else though
Yeah there seems to be plenty of action going. As said forums seem to be out of favour these days. People are stuck on facebook because it's an easy throwaway lifeski! Forums still have a place as a real information source if folk choose to use em.
Personally I despise forum apps like tapatalk and even mobile versions but that's just me I guess.
The scene as a whole seems reasonably healthy though.
I personally prefer the forum over fb, but got to go where everyone is I suppose.
I dont use forum app or mobile versions either Jase
Its all Jennys fault lol.
I hate Facebook and much prefer to go on forums but unfortunately seem to be in the minority. I must admit that I do use tapatalk all the time as I am a member of several forums still and it is by far the quickest and easiest way although I am aware of things that I have missed in the past as a result of tapatalk.
Do you still ride on one of your many mini Motos jase? How is the sidecar coming along?
Think the forum scene on the web in general now is solely for those with a natural geek-orientation (sucky term but I can't think of the suitable appropriate one) alongside whatever the topic of the forum. Where pre-social-media there was no choice for non-geeks to join in other than to participate in forums, social media has made the whole process much easier for all, so everything's just gravitated over there.
More and more I'm noticing niche scenes moving back the other way tho... those who took to social media in the initial peak and have been doing it for an age are all beginning to realise that altho exposure & engagement is much greater, capitalising on it is more difficult. Everything gets lost amidst the background noise. Whether the minimoto scene will turn back this way or not, I've honestly no idea.
This site has no desperate need to capitalise on anything. It's just here for those who wish to use it. No pressure. For now it continues to break even on operating costs with the (small handful) of member subs coming in. The launch of Facebook Markets has had a significant impact on the use of the For Sale sections here, and in turn the amount of paying members.
Totally agree marci, it is a shame though, as some of the topics on here really were fantastic. I for one will be sticking around, in fact going to start a thread now, although, will probably be only me talking to myself but if someone can use that information later than I will be happy. Maybe one day it will pick up again fingers crossed
Trying very hard to be in a good position for 2018 but not out of the woods yet, lots to hurdles!
Long live the forum and hope things swing back around but not convinced yet

Democrat Kirsten Powers Says Party's Politics was Her Religion Before Her Conversion
Former Democratic strategist Kirsten Powers, who worked in the Clinton administration, told Fox News on Sunday that she saw "Democratic politics" as her religion until she converted from atheism to Christianity a few years ago.
"I think my whole life had centered on Democratic politics," Powers said in an interview on Fox News. "I was very much in that bubble. I worked in the Clinton administration so I had all these friends from there, and then in Democratic politics in New York, so that's what we sort of bonded over - that was our religion, to a certain extent."
However, her conversion was also not easy, she indicated.
"It was a real culture shock for me, and still sometimes is, honestly," she told host Howard Kurtz. "It was a world that was completely new to me. It was a world where most of the people I came in contact with were conservative. If I had a dollar for every time somebody said, 'I don't understand: how can you be a Democrat and be a Christian?' I'd be a millionaire."
She added: "I think what they meant by that was an orthodox Christian. If I had been somebody who was sort of 'Well, yes, I believe in God,' and wasn't too serious about it. But the fact that I was sort of this orthodox Christian - I felt a little bit like a fish out of water. I didn't feel very comfortable there. It was many years until I started meeting other people who were like me: very progressive-minded politically but also very conservative theologically."
Powers, a columnist with various newspapers, said Christians need to guard their image in the media. "The media is not the most Christian-friendly place in the world for the most part. At the same time, a lot of these Christians bring it on themselves," she suggested.
Powers worked in the Clinton administration for six years and rarely saw any open expressions of religiosity. Then she moved to New York to work in Democratic politics.
In a first-person account of her conversion, she wrote last month: "My world became aggressively secular. Everyone I knew was politically left-leaning, and my group of friends was overwhelmingly atheist."
She began to change as she dated a Christian man, with whom she visited the Upper East Side service of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York and heard Pastor Tim Keller speak.
While her boyfriend later broke up with Powers, circumstances gradually led her to put her faith in Jesus around 2006.

The Right Floor Strategy For FamiliesFor people who have recently come into the market looking for a house to call their own, they have a lot of excitement ahead of them. This excitement does not come without stress. Before a home buyer even begins to tour houses they will want to make a few decisions. Things like style and location may come later in the process once the person gets a feel for the things they like and don't. The upfront decisions will be things like cost, family needs, and remodeling
A remodeling budget can go unforgotten, something that will become a huge stress when the family moves in. While minor details like the decorations and paint color will eventually be an issue, large issues should be considered too. These things all will make up the remodeling budget. This is why it is important for future home buyers to decide how big that budget is before even looking at a home. Once they know what that budget is they will be able to make better decisions for the price point of the house and if the work is worth doing
Move In Ready
A homebuyer may have read the words "move in ready," but what does this mean? Basically, it means exactly what it says. Few updates will need to be made and there will not be anything they will have to fix before they settle into a house. For these homes, the imagination can be used to choose themes and decorations for each room rather than being pressured with major details.
Minor Remodeling
Minor remodeling can be done in many homes on the market. Kitchen design tends to be at the top of the list for Concord homebuyers. Minor remodeling can excite the creativity in many people who have a flare for originality. When looking at a house, these people will want to keep their artistic personality in mind so they can dig this plan a budget for these small updates.
Major Remodeling
Not many people are willing to take on major remodeling projects, especially those looking to buy a house. These projects can include things like plumbing and electric work. Many projects will require an expert to this article be called which can make the costs add up quickly. Home buyers should be wary of the large remodels they are willing to take on and create a budget that fits.
Remodeling budgets are important for home buyers to know before purchasing a home. When this is considered it can make the move a lot less stressful. Regardless of how much a person is willing to take on, be it major or minor, they will be prepared for the cost and time frame of the move.

Jack Kerouac: Three Haiku, A Poetry Comic from Nora Sawyer, 14 April 2013
Thanks once again to the brilliant boat-person Nora for inviting us aboard her ongoing poetry-comical sea-cruise...
I love that spooky incandescent fog-piercing lime-green cat's eye!
Some seldom-seen film footage of JK & mates on shore in the Village (Third Ave. & 9th St.), 1959
And moving from that sea swallowing the useless rain to the blue of the fur is something very good too.
Oh don't you love this useless purple rain, heavy brush strokes into a welcoming tormented sea. I do....
These are wonderful. Thanks, Tom Clark.
Thank you WB, Marie and Sarah for sharing my appreciation of Nora's and Jack's arts.
These special arts transport the forever limited powers of the verbal intelligence over the high seas of the nonverbal to that other nameless place alluded to by Pessoa in a poem now up on Sarah's blog:
Why call water my sister if water isn't my sister?
To feel it better?
I feel it better by drinking it than by calling it something –
Sister, or mother, or daughter.
Water is beautiful because it's water.
If I call it my sister,
I can see, even as I call it that, that it's not my sister
And that it's best to call it water, since that's what it is,
Or, better yet, not to call it anything
But to drink it, to feel it on my wrists, and to look at it,
Without any names.

Well I also had a bad experience with him.
I have been stressing the past 4 weeks waiting a kite until yerterday, I canceled the order.
Here is the story:
Me and some friends ordered 4 X2. We waited with calm, after 2 weeks we start asking ... hey any news ? he started asking the VISA with very URGENCY to ship the kites.
After one of my friends sent him the VISA he just stop giving news,... he said tomorow I will send it , this every day , every day a tomorow, he did was sending the kites in DHL form and putting only one changing for two. One of my friends is waiting the kite missing and this is 4 weeks.
He just gave LAME escuses like overpassing the DHL truck, and my employee didnt send it because it was another color and so on. (If you know him you know the excuses) After that time he had the kites in his hand but every day was: I sent it today, or tomorow. He even invented a foney DHL tracking number !!! just to buy him some time.
I didnt send him my card or today I will be expecting my X2 also !.
I think when some of this happens is make a complaint to your credit card issuer, they go after the merchant for sure !.
Next thing is never buy gear again from a store who doesnt give you an INVOICE, and buy some GOOD store you have confidence.
To the dude in last post ... If I were you I would do two things:
1st - Make a good documented complaint to your credit card issuer
2nd - Send Andoni Aldraboni a warning: My money back or Kite OR ELSE the truth in all forums and beaches and a complaint to the proper authorities.
I know for experience cause Im linked to Ecommerce sites (Im web developer of http://www.offshore.pt) for accepting VISA you have to make an agreement with the bank in wich you state you will follow certain rules, one of them if only charging after the merchandise is sent. Andoni from windysite.com doesnt seem to be doing this.
Well thats up to him, I did my part sharing my bad experience with the comunity.
After all this shit I decided to ignore Naish marketing and go for Wipika 11.8 !
Hurricanic Winds,
Joao Correia

Jan Stevens (16th century)
Jan Stevens, born at Saiffelen, was a custodian of the Catliolic Church at Hoingen near Sittard, Dutch province of Limburg; he was won for the Reformation probably by Dionysius Vinne and soon joined the Anabaptists. On 23 August 1533 he was imprisoned at Maastricht, Dutch province of Limburg. He escaped from prison on 10 August 1534, but was arrested again; about his further life nothing is known. By his preaching he had much influence in the eastern part of the duchy of Jülich and the bishopric of Liege. Theunis van Hastenrath in his confession in 1551 called him a deacon, assigned to take charge of the money of the congregation and to provide for the poor.

Trump Calls NY Attorney General A 'Political Hack'
Donald Trump on Monday defended his Trump University as a booming success for student entrepreneurs and blasted New York's attorney general, who called it a scam.
"We have a terrific school. It's done a fantastic job," Trump told ABC's "Good Morning America." ''We have a 98 percent approval rating among students."
Trump held several TV interviews to further contest the lawsuit filed Saturday by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, which alleges the real estate mogul helped run a phony university that promised to make students rich but instead steered them into expensive and mostly useless seminars.
"This is a political hack looking to get publicity," Trump said.
His attorney, Michael Cohen, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Schneiderman was upset the reality TV star didn't give him more campaign contributions, which he claims Schneiderman sought even while investigating Trump University. Cohen called it extortion.
Trump, in interviews with "Good Morning America" and NBC's "Today," denied Schneiderman's claims that he never met with students and didn't pick instructors
"I was totally involved to a very high degree," he said. "I told people what to do, and if they had listened to me, it would have made a lot of money."
Schneiderman declined to comment on Monday.
He is suing Trump and Trump University for $40 million, accusing them of engaging in persistent fraud, illegal and deceptive conduct and violating federal consumer protection law. He says the developer of hotels, casinos and more also failed to deliver promised apprenticeships.
State Education Department officials had told Trump to change the name of his enterprise years ago, saying it lacked a license and didn't meet the legal definitions of a university. In 2011, it was renamed the Trump Entrepreneur Institute.
Schneiderman claims many of the 5,000 students who paid up to $35,000 thought they would at least meet Trump, but instead, all they got was their picture taken in front of a life-size picture of "The Apprentice" star.
That's at odds with Trump's contention that 98 percent of students surveys rated the program as "excellent."
One former student who once praised the program as "amazing" and "excellent" is now suing Trump and Trump University in California. Tarla Makaeff of San Diego is representing herself and some other former students who claim the program didn't fulfill its promise of insider expertise.
The judge noted in a ruling on a motion during the ongoing lawsuit that in other cases, "victims of con artists often sing the praises of their victimizers until the moment they realize they have been fleeced."
Trump said he will continue to fight Schneiderman, who he said badmouthed fellow Democrats including President Barack Obama and Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
"He thought I would settle the lawsuit," Trump said. "I didn't want to settle the lawsuit on principal."

Israel also extended healthcare aids to Vietnam in terms of facilities and free-of-charge eye operations for the disadvantaged in the mountainous Northern Vietnam from 2004 to 2005. In terms of economic cooperation, Israeli businessmen have shown considerable interest in Vietnam and organized many business trips to the country to explore investment opportunities in agriculture, aquaculture, tourism, oil and gas exploitation and production, telecommunications, and pharmacy. The two-way trade turnover has witnessed a steady increase over the past few years, reaching 70 million US dollars in 2005.

Jekyll and Hyde: The Editor
Since it's making the rounds and I've received multiple queries asking what exactly went down, here's my take on the whole Media Theatre thing. And it was so calm around here for a while.
Yes, Media artistic director Jesse Cline attempted to keep me from reviewing his production of Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical. He then took time during his opening night curtain call to say, "There is a critic here who will probably trash this show." (He was right, but not for the reasons he elaborated. He thinks I hate melodrama; I don't. However, I did leave the production thinking Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical is a load of thick and greasy schmaltz, minus the nutritional value.) He came out to my seat in the audience to continue the discussion, loudly, while jabbing an accusatory finger at my friend and colleague, Jim Rutter (who--poor guy--was also at my left hand when I reviewed Love Jerry). Finally, the company used quotes from my review, out of context, to promote the production in question. So it goes.
But that's not really why I feel compelled to comment on what happened in Mr. Cline's theater. Unless his board of directors feels otherwise, it's Mr. Cline's pulpit, and if he wants to use it for bullying purposes, fine. My editors felt it best to leave out any mention of the incident, and that's also fine. My record with this particular theater shows that despite similar previous antics on their part, I've always reviewed them without bias.
No, my complaint is with Broad Street Review editor Dan Rottenberg, who published a review of the show by Rutter, then insulted him for his conclusions, lack of credentials and professionalism. What Cline did was childish and unprofessional; what Rutter did was his job. If Rottenberg doesn't like the content of Rutter's review, it's his job as editor to return the review for a rewrite, and explain where Rutter's logic doesn't work; having written for Rottenberg once before, I can attest to his willingness to send a journalist back to the drawing board, and make a review better for it. But it's certainly not his job to use one of his writers' articles, an article he's supposedly vetted for its coherence and readiness for viewing, as a springboard for his own attack on that writer. An editor is supposed to have your back, not stab you in it.
Rutter is most certainly a professional, as is evidenced not only by Rottenberg's and others' willingness to pay him for his reviews, but by his own education, experience and acceptance into and participation in the National Endowment for the Arts' Fellowship in Theatre and Musical Theatre. Mr. Rottenberg, I return to the question posed by you and Mr. Cline: Considering Rutter's history of effort of behalf of your publication, why would you want to hurt him?

Wendy, how does this keep happening to you? I've written a piece on this at the CFR. Just icky. I think Cline is lucky you didn't lose it.
I can't figure out what Rottenberg was trying to accomplish with that piece. He dons a mask of humility, then attempts to make a case for why he is wiser and wittier than all involved... except he fails.
Call me confused. I suppose all that wisdom just went over my head.
