Thread: Lin Dan ( 林丹 )
nice ride lin dan...interesting vid
Does anyone have any idea how much Lin Dan can lift inside the gym? I've been trying to find the numbers for Lin Dan's "explosiveness". If he really is that explosive, he should be showing rather staggering numbers for lifts like the clean and jerk, perhaps the squat, vertical jump, etc.
Oh, and if you know Lee Hyun Il's (commentator said he lifts a lot in an AE'11 match) or Lee Chong Wei's, reply anyway .
My rough translation of the Chinese subtitles and voice-over:
Hi everybody,this is the most beloved and extraordinary broadcasting station 8032 Zhao He, I am Sian Chen. What are you doing now? Today, are you happy? Linxi's lyric has this 'Be forever bright and cheerful, who doesn't wish to? Trials and tribulations are like wind and rain,life is an arena'. What do these words have on you? No matter what, half a day has gone by, relax, go home and dine with your family. Although it's now the peak of after-office hours but you've me Sian Chen to accompany you.
Yesterday we talked about defeat, actually there's one person I admire the most. Let's share Lin Dan's world.
(Lin Dan speaking) - At that time I was still very young and striving to realize my championship dreams, so I was unable to adjust myself well because I was lacking in experience then. Actually, the match situation was quite good, I could even have won it (the Athens Olympics 1st round match). But I just didn't know why, towards the end I couldn't play it right. I lost that match.
(Lin Dan swimming) - That's my experience which I think might be more than what my peers did. If things had gone too smoothly for me, perhaps I might achieve one success and that's the end of it. It's because you've been through so much, you know what is not easy at all and cherish it the more, and let you realize the great significance of the 16 world championships dream( Lin Dan holding aloft the Thomas Cup trophy).
(Lin Dan at the door of his home with Mum and XXF,and pet dog, named Xinba, barking in the background) -- (Lin Dan called to his dog) - Xinba. (His Mum) - Aiyoh, come in.
(Lin Dan petting his dog) - When I was a little child, I was rather mischievous as I was clingy towards Mum whereas Dad was quite strict with me, so naturally I was more afraid of him.
(Lin Dan as a small boy) - The first time I left my parents for my enrolment in a sports school(gymnasium) far away, though actually still in Fujian province, but that was the first time I left my hometown, I came to realize that I'd to do everything by myself. I struggled to cope with it and felt I very much needed them. I longed for their phone calls hoping that one day after training or class, my parents would suddenly appear at the school gate. I could see the main gate from where I was situated. Sometimes I'd asked myself, would they come, what would happen if they appear, that showed how much I missed them.
(Lin Dan's parents walking the dog) - Living conditions were poor then, not everybody could own a badminton racquet, and we couldn't compare with those living in big cities. Material goods were few, it didn't mean with money you could get a racquet. So I hadn't expected that taking up badminton could be so complicated and thought once I went there I could just play. Without the requisite condition, you can only do the simplest things,start with learning the basic exercises to shape up (Boy Lin Dan doing pushups). That's how I trained for a long period of time and I discovered I didn't wish to carry on.
(Lin Dan's mum speaking) - He said, Mum , everyone has a racquet except me.
(Lin Dan) - The coach said, on one condition, take this shuttlecock and throw it at the glass pane and see if you can break the glass.
(Lin Dan's mum) - He would do this everyday i.e. throw the shuttlecock at the glass pane.
(Lin Dan as a boy) - I felt cheated.
(Lin Dan's mum) - How can the glass pane be pierced through (by the shuttlecock)? impossible.
(Lin Dan) - At that time I thought it's possible and so continued at it for a very long time. Even if you let me do it now, it's not possible. Mum went to talk to the coach who later gave me a racquet that was broken before (at the shaft) and wrapped over with a tape. It was the first time I held a so-called badminton racquet.
(Broadcaster Sian Chen speaking) - Never thought that a broken racquet could unexpectedly create a 16 time world champion[Should be 17 now, the video was made before the London Olympics]. What exactly is the terrific force driving him?
(Lin Dan in the streets of London and dining in a restaurant) - Still,mum's cooking is better.
(Lin Dan in a vehicle and someone posed him a question) - Clearly you didn't win the award this time (referring to Laureus World Sports Award), why do you come? (Lin Dan's reaction) - Huh, what, what?
(Lin Dan facing the mirror) - Little fellow, step on it(JiaYou). Attending the award ceremony this time should give me the impetus. Many people know I've given the best of me to this sport. For the Laureus Awards, you're at most one of the nominees, that's all right. Actually, I'm here this time not to represent myself nor CBA but for the sport of badminton.
(At the Laureus Award ceremony) - This is my first time at the Laureus Awards, I'm extremely happy and honoured because not every sportsperson has such an opportunity. It's also my wish that in the near future, there will be more and more Chinese sportspersons coming here to attend and hopefully receive the awards;my best wishes to them.
(Lin Dan after the ceremony is over) - This is my first impression of the Laureus Awards and perhaps my personal summary. I've gained on top of the award practically all the championships/titles leading to it. In my domain,I'm in no way inferior to other excellent sportspersons in other domains in comparison nor unworthy to accept the award. However, attending this Laureus Awards makes me realized not many people know about badminton. They cited several examples, such as Usain Bolt's 100m sprint record, tennis speed of 201 km/h, or even F1 racing speed of 321 km/h. As a sportsperson,I felt quite uncomfortable because they didn't know badminton is the world's fastest ball sport. As a matter of fact, badminton fails to receive much attention, many don't know what badminton is about, as such this point makes me feel miserable. In China, badminton is very hot but perhaps not so in many other countries, so it set me thinking, does the problem lie with the players or BWF or the various member associations? Strictly speaking, everyone has a responsibility, most importantly the main thing is to promote the sport, BWF must push to gain the sport's acceptance in many more countries, at least let many sports enthusiasts know the glamour of badminton. Only then will it benefit badminton's future development.(Lee CW in the background).
(Lin Dan hand on left cheek) - As it is, already many people cannot remember the names of the 51 gold medalists at the Beijing Olympics. This is rather sad to me. What is the true significance of the gold medal? Is it the moment when you stepped on the winner's podium? I've been with the national team for 11 years in my career and I've come to gradually understand that sometimes sportspersons do not just pursue the gold medal but to know anew what the meaning of sport is, that it's not merely a tool for every sportsperson to gain the gold medal.I will wholeheartedly devote my effort to badminton or it's possible I might quit badminton.
(Lin Dan's parents at the airport) - Typically,every sportsperson leaves their parents from young to lead a sports life. The other time at Liuzhou, I was delighted because my parents came to watch me compete. My parents seldom come together to watch me play, in fact they rarely do. My mum would be nervous and seeing them watch me play would make me nervous too as I want to perform better. You know, all parents are like that, they are afraid of affecting me, so are reluctant to come; as a result, they dare not come in future.
(Lin Dan's mum at the airport and someone asking her) - Where are you going? (Lin Dan's mum) - To watch Lin Dan compete. (Lin Dan speaking) - Still they came and I felt a bit nervous, fearful I might lose again and make them feel more stressed.
(Lin Dan walking into the arena) - In the end I won the final, my maiden Superseries Finals title. They came and were elated.
(Lin Dan holding a birthday cake) - All of them came to celebrate my mum's birthday, something which she has never experienced before. (Someone said: make a wish) (Mum asked : who knows it's my birthday?)(Dad said: Everyone knows). There were many of my teammates that day who knew it and came to wish her happy birthday. That day my mum was overjoyed. (Lin Dan kissed his mum and someone said: Kissed loudly, make a smacking sound - and he obliged the second time).
(Lin Dan during the Beijing Olympics) - At age five I started practising badminton. I sacrificed most of time and joys of life to badminton. I hadn't thought too much about the ultimate goal of the Olympics - it's something I cannot imagine nor provide an answer.(Then Lin Dan said something that I cannot make sense of: I will look for a robotic cat). So used to such a tempo of life or perhaps a bit sick of this kind of life or maybe need to (re)adjust my thoughts. If I want to persist, I hope to take a break. Therefore during the break time, I wish to do some of the things that interest me or which I've never done before.
(Lin Dan beating the drum set) - I hope to bring something different to my fans and those who like me. Badminton isn't my entire life, I still have my family. We come together to enjoy the journey of life, that'll do.
(Lin Dan playing badminton with his mum) - Perhaps when I lose, they pat me on the shoulder or give me a hug;when I win, they applaud. These are to me good enough,maybe. Victory and defeat are important, no doubt,but it's not the only thing that matters.
(Lin Dan at the Beijing Olympics winner's podium) - I just want to do well. I believe many people hope to see me mount the winner's podium again.
(The wording on the screen): I am someone who easily goes to extremes, never in the middle. For badminton, I give my all wholeheartedly. Only wish to do well and not consider the outcome. In a carefree,natural manner,face my life's arena .Last edited by Justin L; 02-14-2013 at 07:08 AM.

Anyone know how to get Lin Dan autobiography?
Having sacrificed most of his time and pleasures in life to his first love, badminton,since the age of nine, and leading an almost regimented life as well, Lin Dan is like a bird set free from a big,beautiful cage in a world-class bird park, nevertheless still a cage. So naturally when given a chance during his long six-month break to try and experience other things,not just commercial activities, he would not only throw himself into but also enjoy them like never before, the more so as he's said he's one who tends to go to extremes.
That's why I think his comeback in March wouldn't be plain sailing; it won't be the same Lin Dan for at least the first six months for all the reasons I've said before.
Btw,about his withdrawal from the All England, I've read that it was actually Li Yongbo's decision after consultation with Xia Xuanze. They both felt that it would be irresponsible of them to let him compete just barely a few days after his return to the national training centre without sufficient systematic training and a proper evaluation of his condition; besides, it might subject him to higher risk of injury. Believe it or not, Lin Dan was reported to have said he was keen to play at the AE, a title he has won five times before.
Li YB also suggested that Lin Dan's first comeback tournament would probably be the Asia Badminton Championship in April, Taipei. As for the Sudirman Cup, the decision whether to field him would be made depending on an assessment of his form nearer to the event. I've noticed that Lin Dan was also removed from the Swiss Open GPG list,apparently for the same reasons as the AE.
Another thing is Lin Dan, after winning his second Olympic gold, is no longer reluctant or nervous to have his family members watch him in competition; in fact,he is going to make it the norm as he wish to integrate his badminton life with his family, putting the latter first as he is past caring too much on victory and defeat.
LD plays table tennis with Zhang, table tennis champion. Funny and fun.

In post #3712 above, I somewhat mistranslated: "(Lin Dan's parents walking the dog) - Living conditions were poor then...." when what he meant was the standard of living back then (about 25 years ago) was low, esp in his obscure town, and his family wasn't well-off....
Interestingly, in the sport school, the young children as in Lin Dan's case were not allowed to touch a badminton racquet until they have build up their physical fitness i.e. laid a good foundation in physique. I supposed it's natural for most people at all ages to want to spend more time swinging the racquet than training in physical exercises. No wonder, as I've read elsewhere, it's not uncommon for coaches to complain of their players being lacking in discipline at training, referring more to the physical aspect than skills.
That's why during Lin Dan's six-month break, he still make it a point to do regular exercises on his own as far as possible, at the gym for example. Apparently that isn't enough for Li YB and Xia XZ, for good reason, who insist on a full assessment of his physical condition and that after sufficient,proper systematic training even as they express no doubt about his ability to maintain his skills more or less.
I'm curious, do older players 30 and above still train just as hard, physically? I've in mind players like PG, Hu Yun, Boonsak and Lee HI, who continue to be at the top of their game past 30.
I think tailor-made training for athletes above 30 should be the gold standard, especially for players who have stamped their mark in the sports industry, ie world no. 1, olympic champ. China's women's singles player's rampant potentially career-ending injuries serves as a stark reminder. But I doubt any of Malaysian players train as hard as LCW, so no need to worry.
I think this LD-Xia duel has not been seen by majority of BCers. Furthermore, we can gauge the excitement meter of a game done in the best of 5 games, 7 points format. While watching this match, I think one of LD's best trainer is Xia. I do not think there are any players who can have a 'one on one' duel with his coach with a sparrring quality of Xia's calibre. Other coaches maybe be good in coaching, but one on one sparring? There are not many indeed. Not Misbun, not Rashid, Not Seu Bock. Gopichand? Maybe but not as good as Xia. Peter Gade, yes probably. It is said while one against 4 or 5 players during training though adds the challenge needed to train a player, one on one is the perfect formula as it mimics the environment that you are playing in.

Finally, Lin Dan's six-month break is over and he's back to the CBA national training center. For the last six months,he's been enjoying himself thoroughly like never before (hopefully not too much). But he somewhat lamented that most of his time were spent on all sorts of things rather than with his family which he claimed was too little; in fact, he actually said he spent more time on the plane than at home. For his family, he at last, just the week before his return to the national team, only managed to go on a five-day holiday cum honeymoon of sorts with Xie Xingfang and their respective parents to the Maldives.
Welcome back, Lin Dan !
Actually from what his personal trainer said, as far as training off court goes, he's never let up after the Olympics. Training cycle is 13 days out of 14 (1 day rest out of 2 weeks). REGARDLESS of where he is in the world, the trainer is with him. It's after the conclusion of the CBSL season where he truly let the rackets sit, so they (CBA) will probalby focus more on court training rather than conditioning.
Thanks. Obviously, Lin Dan isn't up to speed at the moment, he's slackened quite a bit during the six-month break, down to about 80% of his previous, normal physical condition according to his trainer.
From what I've gathered, his trainer wasn't with him during his off period - Lin Dan wouldn't want him around during his private time and CBA certainly wouldn't give him such a privilege and waste resources. He did say (in some of the articles I've read) he kept himself fit by working out at the gym and jogging as often as he could except when he's involved in those many felicitations, commercial,official and some public welfare activities, including the long Spring Festival holidays and the 5-day honeymoon overseas . In fact he didn't get to touch the racquet much other than during the CBSL and at the following China National Team event he admitted he hadn't touched a racquet for two-three weeks when he played Chen Yuekun who stretched him to three sets.
Based on the videos and descriptions of his matches in CBSL, the Peter Gade Farewell Match, and the CHN Nat'l Team C'ship, he is definitely off-form. Not to worry, he together with his coach and trainer will put things right in good time. Still I realistically don't expect Lin Dan to be the same as before as far as badminton is concerned.
In this video, he reiterated that after 12 years of total dedication to the sport his priority is now family first as his emotional bonds with his family have become stronger and deeper, mutually.
Hhm, these seem to be good fitness training techniques. Maybe I should apply them to my own too.

We used the Contstruction Pals theme for my son's 4th birthday party this weekend and I knew we'd have alot of guests so we got these plates just in case we ran out of the themed ones and these came in handy!! Nice bright color and matched perfectly!

Obviously there'll be huge staff culling -- the liquidation of HowardTV has already begun. But what about the inner circle? Will Fred & Gary follow their master & go south or, will they dispensed of, too?
His fools gold trophy wife.
If he does a show similar to Rush's, it'll be a barebones staff. Maybe Fred and Robin are in a studio in NY, but I seriously doubt you see Robin after the SXM show ends. I'd wager you have Fred running the show from NY with a lot of ISDN/in the NY studio with Fred guests, and Howard all alone in Florida.
Gary really isn't necessary, most producers on radio shows also run a mixing board/digital mixing software and prodigy. Fred could do both jobs no problem, so the only reason Gary stays is that Howard feels bad for him/Gary knows where all the bodies are, and Howard keeps him on the payroll for the hell of it.
It's gonna be the Howard and Beth HELLO! A.M. Show
Mark my words.
He's got a dwarf as his head of security, and not as a goof. Don't put anything past him as far as who is and who isn't essential.
If he continues to do a radio show he's going to need someone to massage his ego and get him up to speed, and who better than Booey?!?
Also,ifwhen Robin dies, everybody else's stock goes up. He'll need Booey 10x more when Robin dies.
And he could buy Gary some Florida digs with the change between his sofa cushions. And Booey's kids are getting older; one of them's in college already, no?!?
But where the "doing the show from Florida" plan stumbles is in the guests. They need guests.......................even f-list guests...........................and how many guests can he get if he's in Florida?!?
No, I think if he can sucker Sirius into another contract, he'll commute. It's not that far. What is it, 3 hours from NY to Florida?!? That's certainly doable..................especially when he gets Sirius to at least pay for the fuel.
howard and robin will be doing the show from florida (robin will probably buy a place down here for the winter because she's always liked florida), fred will remain in NYC until tess goes to college.
gary will always be employed by howard in some sort of capacity... his loyalty will be rewarded.
the remainder of the staff? who knows, who cares.
I spend a lot of time in Boca Raton and Miami and here is a pretty rampant rumor down here that Howard bought this place so Beth can either get pregnant through in vitro fertilization or by using a surrogate that will live in the Palm Beach House. I've been hearing for almost 2 years now that Beth and Howard both have been seen in Miami/Palm Beach area at fertilization clinics. This all could be more made up BS but then again given Howard's paranoia I could absolutely see him paying 55 million dollars to finally get the son he always wanted.
I think Robin went all-in with that new Jersey shore house. She "works" via ISDN line while the show's in NYC......................why couldn't she "work" via ISDN line if the show moved to Florida?!?
And did you see her on the "Today" show?!?
Is it weird that you know her name or that I don't?!?
yeah, because he's got a great track-record of rewarding loyalty.
so much for loyalty, then?

Fantastic Pants!
I haven't had a chance to wash these yet, but I'm wearing them and they are wonderful. The material is perfect - they don't seem to cling to my nylons, and lay nicely. The cut is great, slim, but not tight pant leg - there's a little room, all around, below the knee. The colour is exactly as it appears on the webpage. I wear a size 8 in Limited pants (10 in express, tho) and these are an 8.. they seem a bit tighter than most other size 8s, but it is still a true 8 and they fit fine. I'm 5'4" and they are the perfect length for me, sitting comfortably at the top of my foot when standing. Get these! (on sale at stores for 20 bucks!)
January 10, 2013
Awesome Pants
I just love the color and comfort.Great for work and dress it up for nightime with glittery/gold top or sweater.Very classy.
I highly recoomend.
November 27, 2012
Couldn't get them on
I'm always a size 4 at Limited, but couldn't even get these on. I have no idea what was going on. I ordered other things in a 4 in the same order and they fit fine. I liked how these looked but am returning them.
November 20, 2012
Love thses pants!!!
They are great with short boots, heals or flats. The color and legnth are perfect!
November 14, 2012
Fabulous color & fabric
Great pants overall... I love the cuff, the color, and the heathered fabric. They would have been much better without the front pockets. The placement of them is not very flattering when you were the pants. But since it's my fav color I am keeping them.
November 7, 2012
So classy
These are such a classy non-traditional work pant. They were true to my usual size at the limited in the Drew fit. The color isn't quite as bright as the photo but still a great, expensive looking color.
November 7, 2012
Loved the color. Not for petites.
I loved the color and style of these pants. I am tired of the same basic colored pants. So I took them in for alterations. I am a regular there being petite. I am happy with the outcome.
November 7, 2012
perfect ankle pants
I love these pants! They are the perfect ankle pants and look so adorable with flats! I bought a size 8, as is my typical size; they are a little tighter than other size 8's I've bought from the Limited, so I would say size up if you're wavering between 2 sizes. My only complaint: they fit snugly in the calves, making it hard for me to squat down and play with my toddler son after work!

When deciding to invest in stocks, you must commit to keep it for the long term, 5 years-10 years. If you only intend to purchase in the short term and make a profit on the price difference, then you are not an investor, but a trader.
A good investment product is a product that suits to your needs and your character. An investment product is suitable and necessary, but not an immediate need. You have to understand how the product will deliver the maximum benefit and risks that may arise.
Experienced investors know that precious metals; gold, silver and platinum can be a solid investment. Precious metals are usually non-volatile when the economy is bad, and in more stable in times of worldwide uncertainty. Used correctly, they can be an effective portion of a diversified investment portfolio, but they are an investment like any others, and have an element of risk, just not as much.

Has the recent weather made you think of getting away? Well, if you've collected Avios, now is a great time for a break. We have a superb choice of reward flights available in a range of cabins departing from London over the next few weeks.
Euro Traveller Lisbon from 15,000 Avios
Effortless exploration. The hills make city trams welcome, but Lisbon' narrow lanes are easy to explore on foot.
World Traveller Johannesburg from 50,000 Avios
City of golden opportunity. With arts, entertainment, eating and excitement, Jo'burg knows how to live hard and fast.
World Traveller Plus Rio De Janeiro from 90,000 Avios
Rhythms of Rio. Bossa nova beats. Cacophonous carnivals. Don't forget to look up and see Christ the Redeemer.
World Traveller Plus New York from 60,000 Avios
As seen on screen. Yellow cabs. Mirrored skyscrapers. Steaming grates. New York's just like the movies. One trip's never enough.
Club Europe Venice from 30,000 Avios
Romantically unreal. Piazza San Marco, Bellinis at Harry's Bar, serenading gondoliers…somehow it all makes glorious sense here.
Club Europe Barcelona from 30,000 Avios
City break – beach retreat. Ultra-chic city break meets ultra-chilled beach escape, with Gaudi masterpieces and tapas bars lining the streets.
First Port of Spain from 150,000 Avios
Carnival and Calypso. Carnival time or not, Port of Spain vibrates with steel drums late into the night.
First Muscat from 120,000 Avios
Still maturing. A low-rise skyline may put Muscat in Dubai's shade, but its cocktail bars and nightlife speak otherwise.
Searching for reward flights is easy for all our Members with the Avios Explorer Map. It will help you find available seats to your dream destination much faster and easier than before. Use the Avios Explorer Map now and see where your imagination could take you.
Once you've built up your Avios balance, it's up to you what you do with them. You can redeem them for a reward flight or an upgrade, hotel or car hire, or you can purchase or transfer Avios to boost your total. Reward Flight Saver also gives you great value when travelling around Europe or Southern Africa. All you pay is the Avios plus a flat fee depending on which cabin you travel in. We pay the taxes, fees and carrier charges. And if you don't have enough Avios, you can pay using Avios & Money, an option that allows you to pay using fewer Avios and more money.

I wouldn't change anything about this book its exciting!! -
In my opinion, the most interesting thing was the chapter explaining Stonehenge. I learned a lot about it, like how they think it was built, how the outer edge once lined up with the sun, and how the have found many skeletons around it.

My class was call: Introduction to Art. The class basically taught us a bit about the different techniques in art by using art history. It was almost like a mix of learning art techniques and art history. -
Having just a more better understanding about art and different styles of art. My favorite thing was learning about egg yolk. How some artist used the yolk for paint, this really caught my eye in the text.

"I find that extraordinarily ironic for a discipline that prides itself on spirited debate about fundamental issues," Jones said. "You are inviting the erosion of your distinctions if you don't draw some boundaries."
Administrators also are carefully watching court cases related to federal funding and hiring practices, where the government could pull funding if an institution is deemed discriminatory.
Faculty are expected to sign the same covenant as students, and those who advocate for something contrary to the stated beliefs would be called into question, Jones said.
"If a person disagreed with a clear assertion of the covenant, that has implications regardless of their status, even for those who have tenure," Jones said. In faculty applications, he would consider where a professor stands on sexual intimacy as between a man and a woman in marriage, though questions about whether gay marriage should be legal at a state level would not necessarily come up. "We don't ask about their civic views of gay marriage," he said. "I would not be looking for their policies on a governmental policy voting."
On the "Day of Silence" in April 2012, about 90 students wearing white T-shirts printed with "break the silence" attended a campus-hosted discussion about homosexuality, such as whether Wheaton can be considered a "safe place" for gay students. "You are telling LGBTQ students that no matter where they end up on their journey of identity, you care for them, respect them, and will remain their friend," OneWheaton leaders wrote on a sign-up form for students who wanted to wear T-shirts. One alumnus came out to the rest of the group.
Matthews, the student who came out at Wheaton in 2010 -- he now teaches middle school science in Connecticut - wrestles with whether the group OneWheaton will be an effective network since its views are far from the college's stance on sexuality. He said he followed Wheaton's agreement to refrain from premarital sex during school, but his personal views on the morality of homosexuality have shifted.
Matthews was attracted to men when he began college but hoped he would begin liking women.
He considered sexual orientation conversion therapy, which some evangelical Christians embrace but which the American Psychological Association has said is ineffective and could be damaging. After the Episcopal Church ordained its second openly gay bishop in 2010, Matthews began reading more and eventually embraced a theology that suggests gay Christians do not need to be celibate. At one point, he considered becoming an Episcopal priest.
Matthews said Wheaton was a safe place to come out because he could work through both being gay and being a Christian. If he had gone to another college, he said he might have stayed closeted because people might suggest abandoning his faith, something he wasn't willing to relinquish.
"Quite ironically, had I not gone to Wheaton, I might not have come out," Matthews said. "They weren't going to say what I presumed people at other colleges would tell me, which is, 'If you have conflict between your faith and sexuality, drop the faith.' No one at Wheaton was going to tell me that."

I've been changing the oil in my cars, and always, the scariest part is getting the car up high enough on my jack stands. I keep on going back and forth from my jack to the stands to only get it high enough so my stands fit and then get it down onto the stands.
I've been thinking about switching over to ramps, where I'd just drive my car onto the ramp, and bam, it's already high enough for me to get underneath to change the oil.
Anyone have any experience with either, and would recommend one or the other? Any reason why I shouldn't switch to ramps? It seems like it wouldn' only NOT work on brake/tire jobs. otherwise, ramps seem safer than jack stands.

In sports, someone who shamelessly cheers for a particular team not because he likes them or follows them faithfully, but only because that particular team is the "popular" choice or has been or is the top team in their specific sport recently. When that team which bandwagoners follow falls from grace, they gleefully jump on the next teams bandwagon and cheer for that team.
All Lakers fans are bandwagoners, ALL OF THEM, except maybe Jack Nicholson.
