Bike Lights
1 Saftey Lights
2 Trail Lights
3 Terminology
4 Power Source
Compare prices on:
Bike lights are essential for commuters (providing they don't want to be ran over) and trail riders that enjoy the extra thrill of riding at night. Each light has its own strength and weaknesses, and many different bulb and power sources are available at a large array of different costs.
For the purposes of this site, we are making the following definitions:
Safety Lights
- These are lights meant to increase the rider's visibility at night, but are not built to provide enough unaided light to guide the rider safely at night.
Trail Lights
- These lights are meant to produce enough light to guide the rider safely at night unaided by any other light sources (street lights, car lights, moon, etc).
Popular Lights (
View all Lights
Niterider minewt pro 750
$110.49 - 249.99
Niterider Stinger Taillights
$13.99 - 19.99
Saftey Lights
Safety lights for bikes are defined (for the purposes of this site) as lights not meant to provide critical, unaided vision for riders, but rather to help them be seen by other vehicles.
Forward Lights
The purpose of most forward facing safety lights is not to provide enough light for you (the rider) to see conditions in front of you, but to be seen by cars. While these aren't as critical as rear facing lights (providing you are following traffic laws, and riding on the right side of the road) they give you an extra safety cushion when crossing intersections, riding at night, etc.
Although they have many issues, there still exist a couple clear bodied front lights on the market. The problem lies in the fact that even when the beam is focused forward, there is still light shining into the rider's eyes, making it hard to see at critical times at night. The light pictured below is one of the best formats, as it directs all its light forward.
If you want to put any kind of omni-directional lights or flashers on your bike, make sure they are placed outside your field of vision, so they don't blind you or otherwise distract you at night.
Rear Facing Lights
As a general rule of thumb, when it comes to rear facing lights, the brighter the better. Strobe lights seem to work a little better then solid lights, because they attract more attention.
Legal Requirements
Under the International Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (1968) of the United Nations, a bicycle is a vehicle. Article 44 of the Convention stipulates that: "Cycles without an engine in international traffic shall: (c) Be equipped with a red reflecting device at the rear and with devices such that the cycle can show a white or selective-yellow light to the front and a red light to the rear." In some countries, for example France, it may be an offense to even sell a bicycle not fitted with legally compliant lighting system. However not all countries impose this requirement on their domestic cyclists.
Many jurisdictions require bicycles to be fitted with reflectors at point of sale. In the United States this is regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC compliant reflectors (also commonly fitted in other markets) have three retro-reflective panels positioned at 30° angles. The standard requires a forward facing white reflector on the front of the bicycle, sideways facing white reflectors on each
a red reflector mounted on the rear, and yellow reflectors mounted on the front and back of each
Some interpret this as an endorsement of reflector-only night cycling.
Many jurisdictions require the use of a headlight and a rear light or reflector after dark. Most European countries and some US states require front and rear lights at night, while others allow reflectors only at the rear. Individual jurisdictions define specific legal requirements in terms of light output and the size of lamp and reflector lenses, compliance with specified standards, or simply stipulate a minimum distance from which any lighting device should be visible. In some jurisdictions, some safe and practical systems (usually involving
based flashers) are illegal because blinking lights are only allowed on emergency vehicles, but those rules are rarely enforced.
UK requires a light approved to BS 6102 Part 3: 1986, but allows additional non-standard lights. In practice this means that users of powerful rechargeable systems need to add an additional light to meet legal requirements. Recent changes mean that a flashing
may be used, but only if it has no steady mode. National cyclists' organizations such as LAB (US) or CTC (UK) are a source of lighting information.
Trail Lights
For the purposes of this site, a trail light is defined as a light that is meant to provide unaided critical vision for the rider. While many people use them for commuting on roads, they are often overkill for that purpose.
High-intensity discharge (HID) lights are the brightest lights currently available for bikes. They are very efficient, and very bright, but expensive. They also tend to have high power consumption (although they use less power than halogens for higher output), giving them a relatively limited burn time. Otherwise they have the same advantages and disadvantages as rechargeable halogen systems and, like halogen systems, they are designed primarily for off-road use, having rotationally symmetrical beams which cast as much light up as down. An additional disadvantage compared with halogen or
lights is that the HID lamp does not tolerate repeated strikes, and in many cases does not relight immediately after shutting down. Likewise, should the battery level fall too low, the lamp will shut down rather than dimming. But the battery life being longer than halogens tends to outweigh these problems, as many riders simply switch the light on and leave it running throughout the ride.
Advantages of rechargeable HID systems
Very high power output
High luminous efficacy
Lamp requires warm up before reaching full output power and/or luminous efficacy
Although purpose-built for trail lighting, if you are using a HID lighting system on the road, lights should be adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic because HID bike lights can often meet or exceed the light production of a normal car head light.
Cyclists who only occasionally ride at night may opt for an inexpensive
front light and rear
flasher. Red or yellow
suitable for use as rear lights have been available for many years. Recently, white
that satisfy the requirements for a front light have come on the market, and some jurisdictions have made or are considering making these legally acceptable. Most
have a higher luminous efficacy than halogen lights, but poorly designed driving electronics can negate the advantage.
are adequate for riding on well-lit streets, but do not generally project a very bright beam as it is difficult to collimate the output from multiple
into a single usable beam. This can be overcome by using a few very high-power
- each with their own optics.
systems often include an option to dim the LEDs.
are well-suited to dimming, as halving the brightness usually more than doubles the battery life. By contrast, halving the brightness of a halogen bulb only slightly increases battery life.
Advantages of
Long battery life in flashing mode
High luminous efficacy
Last nearly indefinitely if the light is well designed
Can be dimmed, usually with a slight gain in efficiency
Instantaneous turn on/off
Limited light output, especially in steady mode for many models
Illegal in some jurisdiction
Halogen Lights
Although these lights were primarily designed for off-road use, where they are almost universal, many commuters now choose to use high-power halogen front lights which operate from a NiMH, lead-acid, or Li-ion rechargeable battery
The lights used by most halogen rechargeable systems are cheap, bright and fairly simple: they project a cone of light (wide and narrow beam options are available) which is good for off-road use but not ideal for road use as it can dazzle oncoming road users. This is why rechargeable halogen lights do not meet legal requirements in some jurisdictions.
Many systems use standard commercial prefocused optics, making a wide range of power and beam width combinations available. Most systems allow simultaneous connection of different lamps - for example, a wide and a narrow beam for off-road riding, or a high- and a low-power beam for road riding.
Advantages of rechargeable halogen systems
High power output
Readily available
Reasonable battery capacity
Very reliable
Easily removed from the bicycle
Lamps are cheap and widely available.
Limited run-time between battery recharges
Power cycling reduces lamp life
Power Source
Nickel Cadmium Battery (NiCd)
Using nickel oxide hydroxide and metallic cadmium as electrodes, NiCd batteries have longer life cycles and hold electrical charge longer. However, their voltage potential difference are often less than that of Nickel-metal Hydride's.
Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery (NiMH)
First developed around 1980's, Nickel-Metal Hyrdide batteries have a hydrogen-absorbing alloy for the negative electrode instead of cadmium. Even though NiMH batteries have higher voltage outputs, the batteries discharge quicker and have limited service lives compared with NiCd.
Lithium-ion Battery
The technology behind Lithium-ion battery has not yet fully reached maturity. However, the batteries are the type of choice in many consumer electronics and have one of the best energy-to-mass ratios, no memory effect, and a slow loss of charge when not in use. The popularity of the batteries spread wider as the technology keeps on improving at the same time.
Lead Acid Batteries
Lead acid batteries are the oldest rechargeable battery type, and are by far the heaviest. They make up for this fact by being very cheap and having a long lifespan. Typically, this is the battery type used on cheaper halogen lights.

Alando Tucker didn't have a moment to waste. Minutes after finishing his workout for Suns coaches Thursday, the Wisconsin forward and projected late first round pick answered media questions courteously, but as quickly as possible.
The next plane flight was 90 minutes away. The next workout, in New York, was 18 hours away. "I have at least five more," he said. "I'm a busy guy right now."
But before Tucker left, the man with a non-stop basketball motor and a communications degree got his points across among a group that included Ohio State freshman guard Daequan Cook, Lithuanian sharpshooter Renaldas Seibutis and USC guard Lodrick Stewart.
Tucker averaged 19.9 points a game as a senior and has been called a power forward in a two-guard's body. He brings defense, athleticism and a polished game.
"I bring experience, leadership … I've been in tough situations," said Tucker, a rare fifth-year senior with NBA aspirations. "I can adjust to any type of play. I didn't get to show that at Wisconsin … our offense was 'pass, move … pass, move.' I think the style Phoenix plays would be great for me."
There are some good vibes here. In 1995, the Suns drafted another player from Wisconsin – a player, like Tucker, who had an undefined position and questions about his ball handling and outside shooting. Michael Finley turned out pretty good at No. 21 overall.
"Alando is a high character guy," said David Griffin, Suns Senior Vice President of Basketball Operations. "To play in a system that shows a lot of his weaknesses and doesn't play well to his strengths like he did and not complain and be a team player says really good things about him as a human being.
"He can create a lot of matchup problems and overpower a lot of smaller two-guards. He's definitely intriguing."
So is Cook, a true freshman who saw his playing time decrease at the end of the season but has impressed scouts with his penetration and shooting skills. He hasn't hired an agent, has retained his eligibility grade-wise and can still opt to return to the Buckeyes before the June 18 deadline.
But after a good showing at the Orlando predraft camp, Cook is gaining confidence that his matches up well with this draft class.
But to stay in the draft, he would need some type of assurance that he would be taken in the first round and earn a guaranteed contract.
"I have a lot on my shoulders, there are a lot of people who think I should go back to school," Cook said. "I want to show people I can shoot and I haven't lost anything."
The Suns continue their workouts today with Maryland guard D.J. Strawberry and Finnish point guard Petteri Koponen leading the group.

Time for towns to speak out
Municipal leaders told they'll have to fight for state aid
|Litchfield First Selectman Leo Paul Jr. Republican-American archive
NEW HARTFORD — Litchfield First Selectman Leo Paul Jr. has never been shy about speaking his mind before the legislature, especially on some of the tougher issues facing small towns like his.
Whether the issue is prevailing wage, or the pay scale cities and towns have to follow when funding municipal and school construction projects, aid to municipalities or mandate relief, Paul is determined to be heard when the legislature convenes.

" I give Mr. Paul credit for going before the Legislature regarding issues pertaining to municipal aid, prevailing wage, and mandate relief. Unfortunately Mr. Paul like other suburban leaders are fighting a loosing battle. The Legislature is controlled by Democrats. They owe their allegiance to the Unions and minorities from the large cities who elect them to office. Democrats will never allow Connecticut to become a right to work state nor will they increase funding to rural communities like Litchfield. "

Who knew Seeley Booth was such a twinkle toes? In a January episode of Fox's Bones, we'll learn that Booth (David Boreanaz) worked his way through college by teaching older ladies how to fox-trot. That skill will come in handy when he and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) assume their Buck and Wanda Moosejaw aliases to go undercover as competitors on a TV show called Dance to the Top.
The outlandish hour is filled with cameos from the cast of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance, including Mary Murphy and Tyce Diorio as judges, recent winners Chehon Wespi-Tschopp and Eliana Girard as competitors, and choreographer Dmitry Chaplin as the champ whose partner was murdered.
"I've been asked to pull out the Hot Tamale Train on a couple of the performances," says Murphy of her signature compliment, which she typically refuses to say outside of SYTYCD. "But I don't think there's going to be a lot of praise going for Buck and Wanda." The reason: The perplexed judges will mistake Buck and Wanda's pursuit of a suspect onto the dance floor as "an avant-garde performance," says Diorio.
Along with taking on his first acting gig, Chaplin taught Boreanaz and Deschanel how to dance. "Emily picked up her waltz really fast," says Chaplin. "And David is a natural. But Booth knows he isn't all that good, so David doesn't try to be as good as...well, me."

EVENT: The Arkansas Literary Festival
April is the coolest month. And not just because the weather is perfect for baseball and hot pants. We also think April is the coolest because April equals: the annual Arkansas Literary Festival. And we love us some Arkansas Literary Festival!!!!
Most of the Festival takes place this Saturday, April 8, and Sunday, April 9, in or around the Main Library in the downtown River Market Area of Little Rock, Arkansas.
(For precise details, you'll want to go to the ARKANSAS LITERARY FESTIVAL website where you can even download and print out the Fest schedule.)
The OA is not an impartial observer. In fact, we've been either deeply or tangentially involved in the Festival since year one of its existence. But we don't care whether we are impartial or not. We love the Festival for numerous reasons. We'll give you three right off the bat:
1. The author lineups tend to be very wide-ranging in genre and scope: graphic artists next to children's writers next to sports writers next to music writers next to food writers next to historians next to vampire specialists next to zombie specialists next to hip-hop experts and so on and so on.
2. At its best, which means bathed in perfect weather and in support of a cool and worthy happening (like a literary festival), the River Market Area in downtown Little Rock can be one of the more pleasurable spots on earth to hang out. We kid you not. (Think: subtle breezes, intellectual stimulation, family fun, simmering barbecue, easy walking, people in costume—or at least we think they are in costume—ice-cream stands, etc.).
3. At the Arkansas Literary Festival, you can have once-in-a-lifetime encounters. We've met many of our heroes and heroines in person there, among them: Garrison Keillor, the late William F. Buckley, Jr., Roy Blount, Jr., Kaye Gibbons, Joe Klein, Charles Portis (who doesn't participate in any sessions but who you can sometimes spot and even talk to), Jon Lee Anderson, Cristina Henriquez, and so many others.
This year's FESTIVAL boasts more than eighty authors. In fact, there will be so many intriguing writers within touching distance over the weekend that we can't talk about them all-there are just too many. But here is a quick, prejudiced guide to some of the authors we at THE OA are especially keen to hear and meet:
MICHAEL TAKIFF. His oral history of William Jefferson Clinton of Hope, Arkansas, is called A COMPLICATED MAN, but Takiff himself is a complicated man. How else to describe a person who began his career as an actor and "classic singer" before becoming a stand-up comedian only then, finally, to turn to writing about politics for the NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, THE NATION, and THE HUFFINGTON POST?
THOMAS CHATTERTON WILLIAMS. His heartbreakingly brilliant book, LOSING MY COOL, is about growing up a black male amidst the expectations, if not clichés and dangers, of hip-hop culture. Williams also writes for n+1, one of our favorite journals. Additionally, after meeting him at the Savannah Book Festival a few months ago (another great event, FYI), we learned that Williams suffers from a glut of charisma.
SI KAHN. A great singer/songwriter AND political activist. His profoundly stirring song, "SPINNING MILLS OF HOME," appeared on OA CD #11
"Spinning Wheels of Home" by Si Kahn from our 2009 Music Issue
ROSIE & JUSTIN. We cannot properly convey how excited we are by the opportunity to meet these two. Let's just say we are VERY, VERY excited. The last time we saw ROSIE, she was a guest on THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW, and she was gorgeous and funny and musical. No doubt, ROSIE & JUSTIN's handler and spokesperson, ALYSE EADY (also known as MISS ARKANSAS 2011), will be nearby, trying to take away attention from her little charges, but we'll try not to hold that against her because we kind of like MISS EADY, too.
JOSH NEUFELD. Graphic artist extraordinaire. Dave Eggers said of Neufeld's A.D. NEW ORLEANS AFTER THE DELUGE: "An essential addition to the ongoing conversation about what Katrina means, and what New Orleans means."
ELIZABETH HEISKELL. Editor Smirnoff was once roomies with Mrs. Heiskell's wisecracking husband. But that's not why we like her-hell, it may even be a strike against her. We like her because she is hilarious and shares a contagious enthusiasm about food and cooking that is impossible not to catch. Plus, she's paired with LEE RICHARDSON, who runs Ashley's at The Capital Hotel. He is Arkansas' best chef. There. We said it.
ISABEL WILKERSON. She is a former national correspondent and bureau chief at the NEW YORK TIMES. She is the first black woman in the history of American journalism to win a Pulitzer Prize. If that isn't impressive enough, her book THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS takes on no less than the history of the Great Migration, when some six million black Americans left the American South for the Great Unknown North.
PAUL REYES. Since leaving THE OA, Paul Reyes has written for HARPER'S MAGAZINE and THE VIRGINIA QUARTERLY REVIEW, and published his first book, an utterly fascinating account of the mortgage crisis (as seen from the vantage point of what happened in Florida) called EXILES IN EDEN. He also got married and learned how to tap-dance. THE NEW YORKER's George Packer calls EXILES IN EDEN "a powerful book. Everything feels transient, dreamy, and thinly rooted in the sandy soil, amid the palmettos and shotgun shacks, with hard times bearing down like a tropical hurricane." We wish we could think of something snarky or negative to say about Paul-merely to demonstrate that we don't play favorites-but in addition to being an inventive stylist and a penetrating thinker, Paul is also very funny-sometimes even on purpose!-so we know his panel will be good.
DAVID FRIZZELL. David, brother of LEFTY FRICKIN' FRIZZELL!, is an amazing talent in his own right. His newest album, for example, features David duetting with: MERLE HAGGARD, JEANNIE SEELY, JOHNNY RODRIGUEZ, and BOBBY BARE, to mention just a few. His new book, I LOVE YOU A THOUSAND WAYS, is about his relationship with his brother, LEFTY FRICKIN' FRIZZELL!
MR. MARK SPITZER & MS. ROBIN BECKER. They are the Mr. and Ms. of Writing on the campus of the University of Central Arkansas. In his latest, Mr. Mark, who is married to Ms. Robin, writes about monstrous fish; in her latest, Ms. Robin, who is married to Mr. Mark, writes about zombies. Besides that, they seem perfectly normal-for writers, we mean. And very talented!
So those are just SOME of the authors we're genuinely excited about seeing and hearing and meeting at this weekend's ARKANSAS LITERARY FESTIVAL. In addition to our own views, which you've just read, we asked a few friends about who they are excited about. Their responses follow:
KEVIN BROCKMEIER (who will also be presenting at the Festival and whose books we fervently recommend) wrote the following for the ARKANSAS TIMES about Festival Author PETER S. BEAGLE whom BROCKMEIER will introduce:
"You should read him. His first novel, A FINE AND PRIVATE PLACE, is a mainstay on my personal list of favorite books, but nearly all of his fiction is extraordinary: THE LAST UNICORN, THE INNKEEPER'S SONG, TAMSIN, or any of his story collections, culminating in SLEIGHT OF HAND, which was released only a few weeks ago.
"I was just working on my introduction for his session, actually, where among other things I say this: 'He is, in my estimation, the finest living fantasy writer in America-and one of the finest writers, period. Take his five best books and set them alongside the five best books by Philip Roth or Toni Morrison or any other writer you care to name and you'll discover an author who is every bit their equal.'
"What it boils down to is that he's a writer of tremendous vision and great craft and a complex and absorbing sense of what it means to be alive, and I find myself returning to his books again and again for replenishment."
NOTE: For more than one thousand days, BROCKMEIER has been egging us to read BEAGLE and this week we finally caved in and began A FINE AND PRIVATE PLACE. We hate to be pushovers but the truth is: so far BROCKMEIER is right. BEAGLE is a magical writer.
JAY JENNINGS, who helps run the Fest and who will this weekend be talking about his own terrific book, CARRY THE ROCK, which looked at race in Arkansas through the prism of the Central High football, sent us this recommendation:
"I am most eager to hear ELIZA GRISWOLD talk about her book THE TENTH PARALLEL, which details her sometimes terrifying, sometimes surreal investigations of life on that ring of latitude where Islam and Christianity face off, intersect and do battle. Ranging through Africa and Asia, she documents the efforts of Franklin Graham (Billy's son) to evangelize where he's clearly not wanted and introduces us to people like Mohammed Jibril, a twentysomething in Jakarta with low-riding jeans and hair moussed into spikes who edits a kind of hip-hop mag for jihadists called JihadMagz."
TYRONE JAEGER, who is a writer himself and who teaches at Hendrix College in Conway, said this:
"In a cultural landscape where we gawk at vice, cowardice, and thievery like numb spectators, JOHN BRANDON's novels CITRUS COUNTRY and ARKANSAS feel like a welcome slap in the face. Brandon's characters exhibit all those things we Americans love to sensationalize-violence, greed, a general criminality-but he shines a light on our ugliness to reveal the dark emotions that motivate our transgressions. And while redemption might be impossible, a certain tenderness is possible. With a prose style that manages to be both lean and lyrical, John Brandon is the writer at this year's Arkansas Literary Festival who most excites the reader in me. The folks at McSWEENEY's published both of Brandon's novels in artful editions that remind me why a book is such a wonderful thing to hold in my hands. Imagine an orange where you peel back the rind to reveal a hand grenade."
NOTE: A spellbinding original story by John Brandon will appear in the next issue of THE OXFORD AMERICAN. Last week, right before getting his recommendation, we accepted another spellbinding story by young Jaeger himself. Jaeger's will be appearing in THE OA in the next year or so.
SUMMARY: We are thrilled about the lineup for this weekend's ARKANSAS LITERARY FESTIVAL-so thrilled that we couldn't mention everyone we are thrilled by. The above represents a mere sampling. To see even more options-i.e. great writers who will be in town-we strongly advise that you visit www.arkansasliteraryfestival.org. Just make sure to get off the computer in time to take in all the weekend sunshine and banter and stimulation that await you right outside your door.

FarmVille 2 Cheat Level Screenshot
There is much more good than bad general, and FarmVille 2 is basically a effectively done video game in many ways. It is really absurd to believe it will be as big a smash as its predecessor, because the whole landscape of social and mobile video games has modified. To lend from a certain country pop songstress, we are certainly not, ever, ever going to see anything like the first FarmVille once again. But there is sufficient brand equity and enough upgrades to think that the sequel will hook a lot of individuals, so the art of online farming looks set to proceed on for a while.

The luggage came quickly. Because I was not traveling for several weeks I left it, in shipping box, in a storeroom. A few days before packing, I removed from shipping box and removed plastic. The chemical odor (dye, material? who knows) was almost overwhelming. It took several days to dissipate. The size was smaller than older luggage of same sizing; I was not impressed with quality, but shrugged off because of price. Noticed some fading of color on the top of the two large cases, like they had been sun faded. Another shrug - figured I was buying seconds. Packed the 29" and 26" (both under airline weight limits) and rolled down ramp to car. The side handle on the 26" broke when lifting it into car. Airlines wait for no one, so off I go. Traveling alone, with two large bags and a rolling computer bag I hooked on the 26" handle, I found the cases rolled poorly, veered off course, lost balance easily and were just difficult to control. - not user friendly at all. I am a female, travel for business on my own, and believe that if you pack it, you tote it. I do not recommend this luggage if you need reliability and ease of handling.
Barely out the box, this luggage set began to unravel - literally. The fabric grab handle came apart after one single use on two of the largest bags. The small over night bad with pull handle has started to pull arThis was not due to baggage handling but poor manufacturing. i chose this bag because of it attractive fabric and spinner wheels, but great looks mean nothing if its going to tear apart with little use. I am very disappointed. Given my hectic travel schedule dealing with returning the bags to American Flyer is way more trouble then its worth. My suggestion - pick another set of luggage!
I bought this luggage over a year ago. Have since taken 2 cruises and have flown at least 2 times with this luggage as well as a couple of road trips. I absolutely love this luggage. It rolls along very well when trying to get through the airport or the cruise terminal. I love this luggage and am very happy I bought it.
I am extremely pleased with the selection. I wanted a luggage set that could be easily distinguished at the airport and this set certainly meets the requirements.
Very nice luggage set, and I purchased primarily for the pattern, HOWEVER, I'm not a fan of "spinner" wheels, so I am going to sell them.
Beautiful & highly stylish set of bags. Very well made, sturdy & lots of storage with expandible gussets. I love them and have received many superior comments on the set from other travelers. I would definitely recommend this set to anyone.
These bags look beautiful. Material is kind of thin. I used the largest bag for the first time in Jun 2013 when I travelled to Asia. My luggage was mis-routed and came one day later. There was some dents to the bag but it was not damaged. Not quite sure if this was caused by mishandling by the airport employees or due to quality of the bag. The set comes in 5 pieces but I personally think only 3 out of 5 are actually useful.
A good set if you only occasionally travel, but not for heavy use. The hanle on the large case broke on the second use, but to take part of the blame it was overstuffed and overweight, and it took some beating from my kids in between trip one and two. We will continue to use with the broken handle as long as we can, but would not buy this particular set again. The fabric is definitely recognize able.
This set of luggage was great. It arrived promptly from overstock and I used it right away for a weekend getaway. All the pieces came back from the flights looking just like new still. They were easily spotted at the baggage claim and I got many compliments on them. I've never had spinner luggage, so wheeling these through the airport and hotel was a breeze. They are plenty roomy and sturdy. My only drawback was that the straps to hold everything down didn't reach as far as I'd like, but I also had it expanded and packed full.
I love this luggage thus far. It is classy and very unique! It seems roomy and just the right combination of pieces to accommodate any length trip I need to take. I am looking forward to a business trip in February and lots of travel this spring and summer. It had no defects, nor any problems with the fabric.

I purchased this in Cool Brown B1 ("Ultra Lightening Browns for Darker Hair").
I wanted very subtle highlights and was hoping to find an at-home hair color that would not look brassy or orange on my very dark brown hair, which has a lot of red undertones. I hadn't colored my hair for many years, but I found it fairly easy to use.
I applied it to tiny sections (10-20 strands) at a time with the edge of a brush, concentrating on the ends, and diffusing it with my (gloved) fingers upward until it got 1-3" away from my scalp (diy balayage if you will). The result was subtle highlights that added dimension, and no roots (it was completely unnoticeable as it grew out). The color result was a nuetral chocolate tone with a hint of gold and red (pretty close to the box color). It was only a shade or two lighter than my natural color, which is exactly what I wanted.
I just tried my second box of LB3, Ultra Light Beige Blonde. Yes, my color outcome was not like the picture on the box...it never will be. However I went from a Level 7 (my natural blonde roots) to a Level 10 from a boxed dye (the rest of my hair was about a 9). I am impressed.
I wanted to go lighter, so I researched this brand/color and tried it about 5 weeks ago. I followed the directions and my hair was light, bright and without any brassiness (I used Ardell UnRed of course as well). Got my second box and did the same, and the results are amazing for a boxed dye. One issue is it obviously causes a bit of dryness afterward, more so than other boxed dyes (obviously), so I deep condition right after with something other than what is in the box. Color lasted as well, didn't fade at all until the 5 week mark. No breakage either.
I will buy this again anytime I want this really light, beige blonde hair. It's easy and it works for me.
I'm very upset with my results. I used one of the brown shades and ended up with blonde roots and the rest is still black. I haven't dyed my hair in six months. I've used the reds before, much sooner after other dye jobs, and I liked those. However, this time it didn't turn out at all.
No this did not work for me! I have light brown/dark blonde hair and wanted to go lighter. I picked up LB3 light blonde. This lifted my color slightly, but nowhere near what is described or shown on the box. I now have a caramel color which isn't horrendous but I am not happy and will be seeking out a professional colorist like I should have done in the first place! I knew it was a gamble when I picked it up, so shame on me. If this didn't work for me, and my hair was not dark at all, I fear for those who try this who have darker hair. Learn from my mistake and steer clear!
I had the same results as some others. My hair is dark brown and I used Medium Intense Red. I ended up with extremely red roots and the rest of my hair is still dark brown. The color comes off on the towel everytime I shampoo my hair, and yet never seems to rinse completely out of my hair. I would never use this product again.

I loved this product. I used the LB3 bleach free lightening kit for dark hair. The process was easy and the result was better than I expected. My hair was a medium brown color before and now it is way blonder. I liked this product because it was safe, user friendly, and the color was believable and natural looking. My hair came out softer, lighter, and with no damage! I loved everything about this product. I would use it again in a heart beat.

My experience may be much better than other reviewers because I used the LB3 Ultra Light Beige Blonde, not one of the darker colors previously reviewed. My hair is mostly gray on the top and some on the sides but mostly med/dark brown all across the back. This really did lift the dark part a lot more than the regular Nutrisse Cream Color I had been using (#100 Chamomile) and imparted adequate toning on the gray areas. The result was outstanding for me...shiny, multi-toned beige blonde with no brass. I did not find the odor strong and had no scalp irritation.
The packaging claim of "bleach-free lightening technology" is a hoot because what they mean is this product is designed to not require pre-lightening. It is impossible to lighten hair up to 4 levels without bleach. :) I was happy with the texture and shine but I will update when I see how well the color holds up to time. UPDATE: Color holds averagely well and I continue to like the product.

The smell wasn't too strong, I liked the package but after I had rinsed out my hair and blow dried it, I found out that my hair color was still the same color as before, black. ( According to the package, I was supposed to get a red brown color) 9 The reason I bought this was because it said on the product, ultra color which I thought would work well on dark hair colors(also said it on the package) Compared to the results I got, the price of the product is ridiculous. Honestly, I would like for this to be pulled off the market for any more buyers who could be tricked in to this product. Overall, I am really mad that I spent my money on a product that just doesn't work.
I use this in Iced Chestnut 4.15. I love the colour (and shine) when it goes on but the downside is the quick fade after several washes. The colour is rich and dark with a slight chestnut - but subtle - no major red-throwing going on, here. I don't think the colour is any more 'wow' than the standard Nutrisse colours, though. The smell isn't too overpowering and it processes quickly in my dry hair. I love it, I just wish it lasted longer!!

Tried the new tone enhancing BL26 Reflective Auburn Black which boasts 100% gray coverage and reflective blacks with visible tones.
Well my roots are red and my dark black hair looks the same.
My towels are stained so I have been trying to limit it to one ruined white towel.
After 4 washings sinced I colored 6 days ago, the color is still coming off as if I rinsed it just after coloring.
Taking a bath is gruesome as it looks like I bled in the water.
I work outside and any perspiration sends rivulets of dye to dry on my face, neck, chest, and my clothes!!
Most horrible experience I have ever had. Will go back to L'oreal and never use Garnier Nutrisse again.

On June 23rd, we posted a story about Benjamin Padilla, who piloted the Boeing 727 that vanished after taking off in Africa. The plane took off from Luanda Airport in Angola without permission and no one knows where it was headed. It had been refitted to haul diesel fuel tanks, meaning it could be used as a flying bomb in a 911-style scenario. Now Joseph Padilla is sending out a plea for information about what might have happened to his brother. Click on "Full Story" below to see a photo of Benjamin Padilla.

What Drugs You Can Make At Home?
Why do people get skinny if they do drugs?
People always say drugs make you skinny. Not weed but other hardcore ones. Heck I even heard that deadmau5, one of the most famous DJs in the world is skinny because he used to do drugs. Why does this happen? I'm really skinny but I've never done drugs and I'm tired of people accusing me of it!
A lot of drugs can make you nauseous and you start throwing up on drugs, also some just take away your appetite.. And sometimes on drugs people sleep abnormally and sleep through meals.. But, you can be fat and on drugs I've seen it haha. some people are just skinny. Drugs are bad. don't do drugs
what are drugs ?
Heroin, cocaine, LSD, ectascy, mairjuana ?name more drugs that i have not list ... what happen when you do drugs ? why would someone use drugs ? how did people make those drugs or where do they get the drugs ? no i do not wish to try drugs i want to learn about drugs and why do they take it and where do they get them
Drugs alter the physical and/or mental processes of your body.
Different things happen to you with different drugs.
People use drugs for all types of reasons. Some are good reasons, others are... not so good reasons.
People make some types of drugs by processing plants with chemicals to reach the end. Heroin and cocaine are some examples of these.
People make other types of drugs just from chemicals. LSD, ecstacy, and meth are some examples of that.
Marijuana is a plant. A person dosen't really make it, it just grows.
Alcohol is made by people distilling certian plants.
You're smart not to do drugs. It's also good that you're not afraid to ask questions about them. Some people choose to do drugs at certain times in their lives and then never stop.
You're better off not getting into them in the first place.
I love drugs of every kind what should i major in?
I love drugs and being hihh off anything but opiats. My teacher tells me I should make money doing something I love...does this mean drug dealing? I'm terribly confused. Is there something else I could go to college for that has to do with drugs. Advise anyone. Maybe drug inventer? Or tester?
I too love drugs and learning about them. I looked into future jobs that involve drugs and there are a ton. You can be a pharmacologist, someone who studies drugs, toxicologist, someone who studies the poisons of a drug, ect. If you want to take drugs, well then you can sign up for testings of new drugs and stuff and report the side effects but i dont recommend that. But anyways, good luck :)
What are some examples of a hypothesis for drug testing?
I am not testing the drugs for an individual. The detective found drugs that on the suspects and I have to take them to the labs for testing. We suspect that the drugs are cocaine, heroin, and marijuana. What would be some good hypothesis for this if I did not get to smell and touch the drugs just looking at them.
The reason the drugs are being sent for analyzes is to test for the quality of the drug, is it pure or mixed with other substances, such as chemicals found in the home, such as caustic soda, bleach etc.
What type of drug and in some cases they might be able to identify where it may have come from or where it was made/grown.
The classification of the drug, each drug including illicit drugs are classified in categories according to how dangerous the drug is. Certain drugs will carry a heavier jail sentence than others.
How do people get ecstasy from the streets if its not legal?
Does the government make ecstasy? if so, how does it get in the hands on a drug dealer? or Do people just know the recipe to make these drugs? Is molly a nickname for ecstasy? How does it get shipped from other countries without getting caught?
Molly is pure MDMA, ecstasy is mixed with fillers and other drugs like coke or heroin. I'm sure some people make it, and some people import it. Chances are if it's home made than it is full of impurities, thus not real molly. And as for the "how does it get here" question... Ever heard of smuggling? Carefully empty 1,000 bags of powdered sugar, stuff with drugs, reseal. Voila!

The Steering wheel cover will need to be removed and inspected. We can do that service here at Five Star Auto Care. We are located at 6818 Five Star Blvd. Rocklin, CA.
Were probably about 15 to 20 Miles from Sacramento. Let me know if we can help. Our number is 916-315-0555.

Wonderful...do you know how much the inspection will cost?
ReplyFive Star Rocklin, December 28, 2010, 12:53Enthusiast
Should be about $49.50 to inspect.

Usually a repair like that can be done in 1 day. Once you call and we know what time and day your going to bring it in we can give you a better time frame. When you call ask for Trey he is the shop manager.

Welcome to the Headlands International Dark Sky Park!
In early May 2011, Emmet County was awarded International Dark Sky Park designation for the Headlands property -- just the sixth such park in the United States and the ninth in the world at the time (a couple more have been named since).

Long after the time many are fast asleep, Shawn Stockman-Malone is headed to work photographing some of the most brilliant night-sky activities over Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.
Over the past year, Stockman-Malone, who has been a featured presenter at the Headlands International Dark Sky Park in Emmet County, has created a stunning time-lapse compilation of various night sky events from 2012. Shooting stars whiz past, the aurora borealis dances in a symphony of colors, nebulae appear, wildlife meander by and a lightning storm dazzles in these scenes captured after dark at the top of Michigan. Some of the scenes feature Emmet County's Headlands park.
Stockman-Malone calls the end result "electrified cosmic goodness." Check it out and see for yourself what happens after dark in Northern Michigan by clicking on the video below.(Information from Shawn on the video-host site details how she captured the images and some of her personal highlights of the experience.)
In the end, she tells why she did it: "I hope it inspires others to take time to find the beauty that is everywhere around us and also to raise an awareness about the importance of preserving our night wondrous starlit skies."

Live Pain-Free Without Medication
of our patients have pain relief starting with their first treatment.
If suffer from
pain in the back, neck or shoulder area. Or maybe it's your knees. Or your wrists. Headaches, Migraines,
cancer pain and yes, FIBROMYALGIA responds to treatment.
If you have any type of
pain we can help.
By combining traditional acupuncture with a technique
called "biopuncture" – which is the injection of homeopathics and medicines – your pain can
go where you want it to go- Away.
Here's what
two recent patients had to say about biopuncture:
My back had been in terrible
condition for approximately 17 years following a work-related injury. Throughout the 17 years since initially injuring
my back, I have received chiropractic and medical treatments on a regular basis.
a result of my injuries, I was unable to maintain any quality of life. Ultrasonic and chiropractic treatments
over the years failed to do anything about them. I even became addicted to pain medication. The detox
center I used to break my addition referred me to Dr. Saylor. After one biopuncture treatment,
I had pain relief and by the third treatment I was pain free. My my mobility was increased.
Since receiving biopuncture treatments from Dr. Saylor, my back has been relatively pain free and I
have my life back.
I recently saw Dr. Saylor for
an auto accident. From the first treatment I had relief. He prescribed two Saylor Medical formulas
for me for the pain. It was unbelievable, they took away the pain, allowed me to sleep as well as reducing my
feeling of anxiety. I was so impressed with the results that I asked if he could help my Fibromyalgia.
After a couple of injections, i was able to discontinue my medication and was 90% better.
I am now doing his weight loss program from which I am also getting great results.
Quit Smoking/Addiction Cessation - 91% Success Rate
You know all the reasons you should quit smoking. You've probably quit before; Maybe dozens
of times! We can relate. We have been there too.
Saylor Medical Group has offered a highly
successful Stop Smoking package since 1994. It includes an injection plus acupuncture treatment, medicine and formulas for
dealing with withdrawal symptoms and reducing the desire to smoke.
Start Your Smoke-Free Life
Today! We gurantee it works or we will repeat the treatment one more time for FREE for up to 6 months.
Here's what one client had to say about acupuncture as a quit-smoking tool:
I must have quit for what seemed like a hundred times. I woke up one day and was just disgusted by the smell
of smoke in my house, clothes, briefcase, everywhere. That is when I decided – again – to quit. That's when
I found Saylor Medical Group online. What the heck, I thought. I've everything else to quit from quitting cold-turkey,
and with the patch at least a half dozen times, filter systems and even hypnosis. I had even been partially sucessful
a few times and not smoked for a week or so. Then the next thing I knew I was having 'just one. After
that it was just a short step back to a pack a day.
So I called the office and
made an appointment. It was my first experience with injections and acupuncture. I liked that he didn't 'judge
me' for being a smoker, and shared tales of his attempts and failures quit, many years ago. I felt that he understood
what I was experiencing.
Treatment was very easy and even relaxing. The formulas
Dr. Saylor prescribed helped a LOT in craving reduction and the anxiety that often accompanies nicotine withdrawal.
That was two years ago. And I'm proud to say I am still a non-smoker, thanks to
Dr. Saylor.

I'm looking for a mold or form to make small cubes of solid chocolate. This could be something like an open plastic grid placed in a sheet pan - like the grate that covers some fluorescent light panels. Ideal cube size would be 10-15 mm or 1/2 inch or less on each side. Plastic would be okay, since I'm not going for a glossy finish. Silicone ganache molds would probably not efficiently produce the quantity needed (7K/15# per batch). Any ideas? Thanks!
Views: 453
Brant -
The the open gridded screens that cover fluorescent lamps are what immediately comes to mind for me as you can probably get the density you're looking for.
Not sure they will be made from a food-safe plastic, which is another issue entirely.
Thanks, Aldona. I am going to give these a try for a different application.
We have been looking for ways to scale up production of flat chocolate chips. We use them in our vegan sugar-free Nice Creams (tm) and ice creams, but our customers demanded we sell them for baking, so we started supplying our retailers and selling online as well. 1-1/2" squares are several times larger than what we need, but it's worth a shot.
To the OP:
Brent, we've tried using honeycomb aluminum sheets sold to the airspace industry for manufacturing composites. Those would product hexagonal cylinders, whose xy dimension is determined by the pitch of the honeycomb and the height by the sheet thickness and how tall you fill them. Release has been a problem, but also cleaning and sanitizing. So we abandoned that approach.
Similar honeycomb is also available in polycarbonate (which got me really excited at first) and olefins (I think polypropylene) for the same aerospace composite apps. However, those typically with the top and bottom sheet sealing the entry/exit of each honeycomb. Since those are meant to remain unfilled for weight savings, the top/bottom sheets serve as strength reinforcement elements which the plastic honeycomb composites need. So, figuring out how to remove the top and bottom and then have the plastic honeycomb remain intact proved fruitless.
Maybe the aluminum honeycomb will work for what you need because your pitch size is larger than what can use and chocolate will be easier to break out of the mold esp after the freezer.
