2006 Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan: Tires/Wheels-Road Noise
rgag081499 Posts: 1
vmax1948 Posts: 2My problem was the tires. I talked to several Fusion owners and several had the same problem and they blamed the tires. I replaced the Michelin original equipment tires with Bridgestone HP550's and the noise is completely gone. The tires are quite and handle well. I am done with Michelin's, at least for the Fusion.
lyndab Posts: 1I don't know whether I am asking this on the proper board or not but here goes. You can yell at me later. We bought a 2006 Fusion and love it...but, in wet weather the rear tires slip sideways, mainly on asphalt skin patches (used to repair cracks on the highway). Dry weather, it corners beautifly. It's a little unnerving as you feel like you hit an icy patch and you could go into a skid. Never experienced anything like this before. I know motorcyclists complain about those skin patches. We have quite a few patches on our main highway into town. We've had the tires rotated and they are Michelins. Thanks

GenoH Posts: 1I have the same problem -- I have continental ContiProContacts. 2007 4cyl FWD.
Gets even worst in ice/Snow- almost undriveable. Rotated Tires, bought two new ones for front on dealer recommendation. Didn't really help. Only 18k on originals. Also, had alignment done - didn't help. Also, dealer has suggested to try new ones on back - no real change.
Slip on skin patches, man-hole covers, bridge expansion joints -- very unnerving. Mostly slip toward the traffic side which even makes it more interesting.
Any thoughts would be appreciated -
donl1 Posts: 109I have the Michelin original equipment and they do a very poor job on the snow and ice. Has anyone else noticed the flatspotting that happens when it gets cold? It does go away after a few miles but it has been a long time since I noticed that in any of my cars in the winter time. Won't be driving it much for awhile.
neile457 Posts: 65Another Newbie here. I have a 08 Fusion SE 4cyl with the Conti tires. Really bad road noise. I am looking for a tire that's ________, in this order. Any recommendations.
1. High Tread life
2. Low Rolling Resistance
2. Quiet
Don't care about ice and snow traction. I am thinking the Avid from Yokohama. Any ideas.
I also saw from CR that the Dayton Grenadier PLE is a good choice, but I can't find anyone that sells it. Thanks in advance. -

blumstein Posts: 38I have a 2007 Milan V6 Premier. I have 17" rims with a 50 aspect. Your choices will probably be different, but let me tell you how I solved mine. I went to tirerack.com. They have the results of tire tests and customer surveys. They will give you recommendations for your car or you can look up your size and figure it out for yourself. I wanted great treadlife & wet & dry handling as well as being okay in the snow. I ended up buying Kumho Extasy (sp?) LX Platinums and so far love them. (No snow yet to test them there). Tirerack will show you that it has a slightly hire load rating than my original Michelins. They warn you that might be too harsh. It isn't.
Tire Rack sends the tires to you or your installer. They have a directory of installers that don't hassle you about buying over the net and guarantee their installation prices. Works for me. -
jeff_h Posts: 20I've ordered 3 sets of tires from tirerack and their prices are good, the only complaint I've seen from online reviews of installers is that a mounting price per tire is $11.99 (for example) and the customer found out that the installer charged $20 (or so) per tire, saying that the price listed on tirerack was outdated. So if you take this route, call the potential installer yourself and verify the price before handing over the keys.
The OP also noted that you can have the tires delivered to your house or directly to the installer. I guess this is preference, but I alway chose to get delivery at my house and taking them with me. It is a small amount of legwork but ensures that there are no mixups on your tire order and that your nice new tires didn't get put onto another car the day prior. -
hickoryc Posts: 25I ordered a set of 4 Michelins for my Expedition. Wanted same as bought for it over 5 years ago as the ride is excellent, the tread is great, the miles on this set is 70,000. Ordered from Sams Club on line. You do not pay up front. Took the order confirmation to Pep Boys. They have a sign up that they will beat any advertised price by 5%; and they did. Currently they have a sale: buy 3, get 4th tire free. Right down the line, Pep Boys beat not only tire but valve stem, install, road-hazard, everything by 5%. Now I mail off the receipt and the rebate form and I will receive a check for $135 (the competitive price of the LTX tire). In the end, the new set will cost me the same as I paid Sams Club five years ago---for the same great tires.
petras2 Posts: 104I think part of the problem is inherent due to the fact that it is a relatively low profile, wide tire, (50 series)..you gain better dry handling and summer, dry traction with these tires but they come at the expense of a generally harsher ride, poorer gas mileage, thread life, snow traction and higher replacement costs... just compare the replacement costs of a base, (S model) fusion tire which is smaller and offers better epa gas mileage, (34 vs 31 hwy) with the larger tires that come with the higher trim line models...
neile457 Posts: 65OK, I just got new tires. Only 1 day of use, 120 miles, combined city and highway. Tires I weren't even looking at until I looked at the rankings at tirerack.com.
Bridgestone Turanza with Serenity with 70,000 mile warranty. I know it's early. But these are much better than my Conti's that they replaced, so far. Good ride, and quiet.

Today, African American men and women occupy some of NASA's highest ranks. But like other institutions, the space program needed bold pioneers and decades of political change to become more inclusive.
North Carolina has become a battleground for the major civil rights issues of the new century, from voter ID laws to the Affordable Care Act.

Allen High School in North Carolina graduated many accomplished students, including civil rights icon Nina Simone, but the end of segregation ironically undermined this proud institution.
"The Cult of True Womanhood and Harriet Jacobs' Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl":While so many slave narratives focus on a quest to achieve freedom, Harriet Jacobs' memoir centers on her efforts to survive as a woman and a mother within the institution of slavery, thereby offering a glimpse of evolving gender relations in the nineteenth century. In this plan, Theresa Vara-Dannen examines this complex issue by comparing a variety of texts with Incidents in order to show the context and influence of Jacobs' work.
Each year, high school students from the University of Connecticut Early College Experience take part in a semester-long research project in which they write biographies of prominent African Americans. This Teacher Resource shows how educators can lead similar research initiatives, and provides tips on evaluating online resources, comparing primary documents, and utilizing local libraries and archives.
In light of the recent controversies over gun control and police brutality, Brenda Stevenson's acclaimed The Contested Murder of Latasha Harlins (OUP, 2013) is a powerful reminder of the social repercussions of violence and institutional racism. In it, Stevenson takes the reader to 1991 Los Angeles, and carefully examines the lives of three women at the center of a tragic shooting: an African American teenager, a Korean shop owner, and a Jewish Superior Court judge presiding over the case. In this interview, Stevenson discusses the research that went into her work, and how the death of Harlins set the stage for the riots that engulfed the city a year later.
This new feature allows you to scroll through the tables of contents for each of the major reference works on the Oxford African American Studies Center, including the African American National Biography, Africana, Black Women in America, the Encyclopedia of African American History, as well as the newly added Dictionary of African Biography and the Encyclopedia of African Thought.

Batting Average: .633 (57/90)
The two ratings are Batting Average and GHI. Both are defined below.
BA: The total number of stars achieved divided by the total possible stars a concert can achieve. Each song can achieve a total possible 5 stars, 5 being the best, 0 being the worst. Therefore, each show receives anywhere from a 1.0 to a .001.
GHI: This rating is used in The Phish Companion 2nd Ed. Each show is given a score from 0 to 5, five being the best and 0 being the worst.
The two scores are synonymous. I like the BA form better because each show receives a score closer to its worth depending on how you rated it.

Donate MTB Parts to Bikes Not Bombs so they can get bikes to Rural Uguanda. See below from BNB's Arik:
We've started a project in postwar rural Northern Uganda to outfit hundreds of community health works with bikes - over 300 of them have bikes from us so far, they have trained mechanics and a workspace with specialty tools to maintain these bikes, and we'll be sending another shipment in September. In order to make this shipment really effective and keep these bikes on the road for years to come, we need many more decent quality spare parts that can be used on mountain bikes!
Check out more information on the project in Uganda at https://bikesnotbombs.org/amuru including a short video that was made as we were developing the project. The project is now a year further along, and our International Programs Director, David Branigan (cc'ed) is editing new footage now to make an updated video that we should be able to show soon.
COLLECTION EVENTS: It would probably be most effective to figure out an event or two that will draw many mountain bikers, and then put out the word that they can also bring their parts to donate to this event. We could have someone there to collect the parts and bring them back to Bikes Not Bombs. Any ideas on good events to do this at? Or other ways to do this effectively?
Items we can especially use:
Front Derailleurs anything made for a mountain bike, or otherwise to fit a triple chain ring, road and hybrid derailleurs may work also.
Rear Derailleurs anything made for a mountain bike, or otherwise a long cage derailleur
Shifters rapid-fire, grip shift, or thumb shifters
Chains any type, though 7-8 speed chains are especially valuable
Brakes cantilever brakes, V-brakes
Tubes and Tires 26 (for mountain bikes) and any smaller sizes
Also donations are tax deductible and can give receipts.
I'm going to only be on email occasionally for the next 2 weeks, but I wanted to get this idea out to you now to see what you think.

Check out stallions remaining at: mqhra.auctionanything.com Canterbury Park 2014 Update: Effective April 1, 2014 all horses entering the grounds must be vaccinated between 14 and 60 days prior to entry for equine herpes virus (EHV-1). This must be documented on the accompanying Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (health certificate). The change noted above in the vaccination requirements for horses coming into Canterbury Park is due to the EHV-1 cases that are being reported in Minnesota over the last month. While the vaccine may not prevent neurological disease it does significantly decrease shedding and provides some herd immunity (sort of like influenza in people) – and we basically have a herd on the backside. This measure was just announced April 1, 2014. Letters are in the mail with stall allocations for trainers that applied for stalls in 2014. Stalls were again this year restricted somewhat due to not having enough available stalls for the number of stalls being requested. |


text: Nice looking shoe but only suitable for paved roads or paths. Off the beaten path, the shoe is much too stiff and doesn't bend to accommodate uneven or muddy terrain. It's sometimes a struggle to keep one's balance Imo, totally unsuitable as hiking boot. Also the sizing is strange. Should be offered in half-sizes. Lastly, the laces are too round and far too short. They come undone very often.

Blood, Sweat and Latex: Brother, would you haunt this 'House?'
Blood Sweat and Latex By Shannon Shea on July 25, 2011 | Be the First To CommentNearly anyone can do something once. Repeating an experience for a second time, in some ways, is more daunting than the first time. When you are new to a situation, everything is potential. Possibilities. Every result is either positive or a "learning experience." However, shouldering an experience for a second time, it is easy to let negative questions and self-doubt wander into your psyche, especially when that second experience, in comparison to the first, appears grander and more demanding. Confused? Let me explain. The Supernaturals was a "friendly experience." Mark Shostorm and his small crew bonded quickly over a challenging but manageable amount of work. We all parted friends and remain in touch (except Ed Ferrell – Where are you Ed?). After the wrap of the show, I had returned home to New Orleans to spend the holidays with my (then) girlfriend Tracy and my family. I had no idea when fortune would take me back out to California to work on another film, but somehow, I knew it was going to happen. I knew so positively that I didn't run out and get a job. As fate would have it, I was correct.

Road America's Exciting Month of June Racing Calendar
The month of June is full of fantastic racing events. Elkhart Lake's Road America AMA and June sprints are happening the entire month, and fans are looking forward to the occasion. The June schedule is full of exciting races, and here is a list of what's to come to the amazing and challenging Road America roadways.
- Beginning May 31st -June 2nd, the Subway Superbike Doubleheader and Geico Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing begins. Road America's 4.05 mile natural road course will be the arena for the annual Geico Motorcycle AMA Pro Road races in early June. It's one of the most challenging tracks on the AMA schedule. This two-wheel race war draws quite a huge crowd, and includes a weekend of double headers in four different Geico racing classes. Fans are able to participate in open karting and drag racing demos.
- The AHRMA (American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association) Vintage Motorcycle Classic gets underway on June 7th through the 9th. The race features vintage motorcycles from the 1920's through the early 1970's. AHRMA also showcases vintage superbikes from the 80's and 90's. AHRMA has dedicated its organization to the preservation of the heritage of motorcycle racing. The Road America track is a favorite for vintage riders because of its four-mile course, multiple turns and the rise and fall of the terrain. Fans will be entertained by cross-country and trial competitions.
- The Weathertech Chicago Region SCCA June Sprints starts on June 13th and runs through June 16th. These sprints highlight everything from showroom stock cars to highly modified purpose-built racecars. The event hosts ten race groups in four days, filled with practice, qualifying, and competition. Road America's trackside views are amazing and offer delicious food for drivers and fans.
- Nascar Nationwide and ARCA/Trans-Am comes to the Road America tracks June 20th-22nd. Fans will experience ARCA and Trans-Am Qualifying rounds and wheel-to-wheel racing. Fans also get the opportunity to watch Nascar's future star drivers test their road skills on Road America's famous four mile, fourteen turn track. This challenging circuit separates the good drivers from the great drivers and fans get to watch all of the excitement.
- The end of June hosts the Optima Face-Off at Road America on the 23rd. On this high-speed weekend, Optima Batteries holds one of its Optima Ultima Streetcar qualifying events. This end of June event includes autocross, road course, and braking and acceleration challenges. The Optima Face-Off also wraps up the June races and sprints month with an exciting style competition and road rally that fans will not want to miss.
The month of June gives avid race fans the chance to enjoy all styles of racing and high-speed competition; from vintage bikes to custom-built racecars. There is something for everyone craving speed at the Road America tracks this summer.

My first two days spent in the beautiful Taj Mahal Hotel in Delhi were almost surreal. The hotel was quiet and pristine, and I felt like I was still in Chicago – not halfway around the world. As I sat down to a late dinner on the first night with my fellow Fulbrighters (there were 8 of us on the same flight), I thought to myself, "This is not the India I know." The upscale restaurant had both western and eastern options, the lounge singer belted out tunes by Alanis Morrisette, Fleetwood Mac and Celine Dion, and the clientele was mostly western.
As I write, all of that has changed. Not for the worse, by any means, just more like the India I know. The Ranchi air terminal doesn't have any gates; you just walk off the plane and into the terminal. Gone, for the most part, are the western toliets and toliet paper. The unpaved roads are shared by cows, goats, dogs, people, rickshaws, bikes, buses and goods carriers, yet somehow it all works. And while the monsoons have destroyed the roads, leaving them muddy and potholed, the countryside has been brought to life after a dry summer.
Yes, I am a little nervous to be back, I know that that living in this part of India isn't necessarily hard, just very different. From my previous trips, I know it will take some time to adjust to this way of life. But soon, it will become my way of life. Already the sounds, the sights and the smells are familiar. And I know that from the moment I see my old team, it will feel like I never left.

Exclusive: Rob Liefeld's 'Icons' Screenplay About the Rise of Image Comics and Casting Picks
Rob Liefeld is a busy guy. For starters, Godyssey and Bloodstrike have both recently been tapped for big-screen treatment. He also relaunched Extreme Studios, which not only led to the return of Image Comics' flagship title Youngblood, but also gave fans the critically acclaimed reboots of Prophet and Glory (seriously, look them up, they really are that good).
Amidst all this, Liefeld was also scripting 3 DC titles and manning the art duties on Deathstroke, that is until he quit, announcing his frustrations publicly via his Twitter feed. That was followed by another public spat with notable Batman scribe, Scott Snyder (they have since buried the hatchet). Lest we forget, Image Comics celebrated their 20th Anniversary last year, so one could only imagine all the insider commentary he's been keeping to himself before signing up to Twitter and writing a blog.

We all know the mid-term elections are just around the corner, but the Lindbergh Foundation needs your vote today.
The Lindbergh Foundation is competing against 19 other organizations for one of 5 gifts of $10,000 to be given by Lightspeed Aviation Foundation this fall. The newly created Lightspeed Aviation Foundation actively supports aviation growth, education and works of compassion. The top 5 organizations receiving the most votes by the pilot community will each receive a contribution. I am personally asking you to join me in voting for the Lindbergh Foundation today! Simply click the VOTE NOW button at www.lindberghfoundation.org to vote. It's quick, easy, and could really help a great organization. If you'd like to know more about the Lindbergh Foundation, read on! Most people are aware of the numerous contributions Charles Lindbergh made to aviation, but few know that Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh worked at the leading edge of environmental awareness, a result of their ability to observe changes in our surroundings from a perspective previously unavailable to humankind — from the air. In their later years, the Lindberghs passionately supported many technological breakthroughs that improved the quality of life in such varied fields as medicine, education, and agriculture, all while stressing the importance of preserving our environment. I believe the Lindbergh Foundation's mission to advocate the balanced use of innovation and technology to benefit all life on Earth is even more relevant today. For over 30 years, the Foundation has executed this mission by encouraging solutions, acknowledging progress and communicating ideas:
I hope you'll support the Lindbergh Foundation today. A simple click can help the Foundation earn $10,000 from the Lightspeed Aviation Foundation. Please vote today.

The Lions Step In
Liz was determined to find a way to create a place where children of all abilities could come together and play. After some research, Liz began to plan for a new playground. But with a cost of nearly US$750,000, it would take a lot more than she could give.
Liz rallied the local Lions, and with a generous US$75,000 grant from LCIF, the project began. Lions from 45 clubs went on to raise almost US$500,000. They also joined forces with other community groups to build the park themselves. In just eight days, 3,000 volunteers erected the 12,000 square foot playground. Ron Hudson from the Dawn Breakers Lions Club was one of them. "I spent eight days building Matteo's Dream," he said, "and it was the best thing I have ever done in my life."
Open to Everyone
When "Matteo's Dream: A Playground for Children of All Abilities" opened to the public, local parents like Tamara Borba were elated. They finally had a place where their children could play alongside siblings with special needs. "To have Matteo's Dream in our neighborhood is wonderful," said Borba. "Both my kids can play. Nicky can be set free. He can wheel himself up and down the ramps and play with everything." Laura Hoffmesiter, the former mayor of Concord, added, "The dream really did become a reality. And we hope this can become a model for other communities."
Fun Facts
This project reestablished the Concord Lions Club with Liz as the charter president. The Concord Lions Club not only maintains the playground – but it also holds club meetings there.

Margie Plus: Winter Shorts
I absolutely love the idea of reusing summer pieces like shorts in my cold weather wardrobe. And since shorts for became popular for more occasions (parties, dinners, even work) plus size stores have been supplying us with everything from classic denim to sequin shorts and everything in between.
Dressed up for a night out or dressed down for casual weekend wear, in fun colors or basic black, those shorts are easy to winterize—just add a thick pair of tights. Then choose something on top that'll set the tone of your look: a blazer for a polished outfit, perhaps, or an oversized sweater for a more comfortable look.
In this picture I am wearing amazingly comfortable tweed shorts from Forever 21 (currently on sale for $9.99!).

I have Neil Patrick Harris and Joss Whedon, is that ok?
I have Neil Patrick Harris and Joss Whedon, is that ok?
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.
- Gene Wolfe
I am now waiting for FOX to start running pieces dealing with Obama as the Anti-Christ.
Day 1. FOX runs clips of Jamie FOXX (no relation) making some quip about Obama being the saviour.
Day 2. Fox and Fiends pose the question "What are the reasons why some people think that Obama is the new messiah?"
Day 3. All the stories that day talk about some person or group who say that there are people out there who not only do not believe that Obama is a saviour, they believe that Obama is actually the anti-Christ.
Day 3. All the news stories deal with how some people believe Obama is the enemy of Christian religion in the US.
Day 4. Some FOX talking head says that sources say that Obama is behaving more like the anti-Christ than a saviour.
Day 6. FOX reports that reliable media sources are saying that Obama is likely the anti-Christ.
Day 7 FOX reports that it alone is left to pursue this story because no other news organization is picking it up; there must be a conspiracy in the liberal media to allow the US to be ruled by the anti-Christ.
Day 21 FOX has been thoroughly discredited as journalists and White House insiders prove that Obama is acutlayy Santa and not the anti-Christ.
From a current art exhibit in Boston . . . . "The Truth"
I do not think so.
It is proof.
http://www.afa.net/Blogs/BlogPost.aspx?id=2147485104By the way, this is what the artist had to say about his painting, which dates back to 2009:
The idea of the piece, or the reaction that I'd hoped for, was to highlight our nation's deep partisan divide and how our interpretation of the truth is really prejudiced by our political perspective and I think that to a large degree we are being manipulated by the media.
I miss the old day when we just have the facts. Now we have pundits and spin and strategists.
I just thought that through that painting people would see different things. The right and the left would have different interpretations of it based on their political lens. But I have to admit I was very surprised that instead of that I got thousands of emails complaining on the religious front.
And that was not my intent at all. I wanted to create a dialog politically but not religiously. I didn't mean to make fun of anybody's religion; maybe I did so naively but I didn't mean it that way. In the bible Jesus is The Truth and comparing Obama that way isn't something I meant to do at all.
...and as you'll see, the cite is from the douches over at the AFA.
As I suspected though, your shoutrage over this is being fired up by the douches over at FOX; Aren't they about 3 years late with this nonsense?

An oldie but goodie form the past.
Love this one too. From 2010
Of course, for all of us...from May of this year....
Of course....some don't agree.
Now Jack ..I know you frequent many Republican sites but Please, please, please tell me that you know Jamie Fox is a Veteran Stand-up Comedian and Actor/Singer/Producer with an Awesome Bubble-Butt? You do realize he gets paid to stand in front of a crowd and deliver Jokes regardless of how Raunchy or Controversial they might be?
And I know youre gonna say regardless of his status as a Comedian/Actor Jamie should NOT have joked about Obama being our Lord and Savior during his opening Monologue @ the Soul Train Awards, but I want you to think about something When you watch Rated R movies and/or Porn and you constantly hear God Damn this & Fucking Christ, do you complain about it? Do you boycott the Studio, The Director, the Actors?
No you do not because you know its scripted and make-believe .Stand-up Comedians open for Award shows all the time and they write material that sometimes leans toward shock-value .
Ill give the Republican media points for focusing on anyone and anything pertaining to the President...This story is picking up steam primarily in the Republican World... .Late last night I was listening to one of Republican radios favorite sons Rusty Humphries. Rusty was FURIOUS about Jamies joke and so was his guest Republican talking-head. They went on & on blaming Obama voters for believing Obama is the true Christ and blah, blah, blah.They told their listeners not to go to Jamies new Flick opening in December. Rusty said he didnt care if Jamie was a stand-up-Comedian or not Obama should have had a Press Conference first thing Monday morning denouncing him .LOL Talk about a couple of Drama Queens....
Jamie Foxx is no Chris Rock stand-up-wise but had Chris said the exact same thing Republicans probably would have said nothing because Chris Rock is a Cross-over Stand-Up Comedian that a majority of Whites know & love.
For those of you not familiar with Jamie's Comedic Claim to Fame....He created this Hit Character on "In Living Color" back in the 90's…"Wanda" and all her Beauty….
I wonder if Jack is aware of how much people on here are laughing at him right now...
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.
- Gene Wolfe
The sad part, I bet you have some kind of image of Obama hanging prominently somewhere in your house.
Be honest ... do you?
You have a pagan alcove in your home?
Does it bother you when you see Reagan pics all over the office space or homes of Republicans? Because this personality-worship you ascribe to Obama has been around for decades for Reagan and I can't imagine you expressing much outrage over that. In fact, most of what you purport to be going on between progressives and Obama is much better applied to Republicans and Reagan. Does that bother you? Yes or no.
No republican images in my house.
I do fly a US Flag ... I know that makes some liberals uneasy.
The flag would never make me uneasy, it would be the fact that so many people who go out of their way to show flags and lapel pins and uber patriotic stickers are like you. You scare me. Not the flag. It's the same thing with religion. I have no problem with Jesus or even the Christian teachings. I have a problem with almost the entire publicly vocal portion of its following, though, as they're nearly all judgmental social agenda crazies.
I realize it's more comfortable to just sit back and tell yourself that liberals hate Christ and hate America but if you want to know the real reason we get uncomfortable when flags and bibles appear you need to look in the mirror.
I wonder if Jack is aware of how much people on here are laughing at him right now...
See, Jack? THIS is why people don't take you seriously. Let me describe to you the progression of this topic:
1. You post an outrageous claim about Something Evil Dems Do.
2. Somebody posts a clear and irrefutable example of Republicans Doing The Same.
3. You refuse to take the high road and say "Well gee, I guess I was wrong on that one, or at least I should criticize my own people too if it bothers me from you guys". Instead, you focus on an irrelevant detail (how YOU don't have pics of Raegan - wow, awesome for you; neither does anyone here have a pic of Obama!) and then put some off-topic idiotic statement that features an insult to liberals, so that we will ignore your glaring double standards and focus on the insult instead.
You are disingenuous and false, and your attitude in this topic is a prime example of that.
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.
- Gene Wolfe
Tis the season...
Rareboy beat me to the punch, but I suppose this means that I should unplug the "FORWARD" X-mas light sign in my front yard, stop using Obama pins as tree ornaments, and take down the navity scene complete with baby Barack?
I mean... you do realize Foxx is a comedian, right? I'm beginning to think that's your natural calling as well...
And, you don't find it a tad ironic that the guy who (falsely, for anyone who has ever read any of these threads) claims liberals are irrationally obsessed with Obama still uses an upside-down Obama flag as his avatar and an Obama quote as his signature?
Here's an example of a conservative that also subscribes to the ridiculous "Liberals think Obama is their Savior" stupidity:
Playing with urine, calling it "pee-pee", and scribbling batshit insane conspiracy theories on a chalkboard.
That picture, ladies and gents, symbolizes the GOP in a nutshell.
I think he's just mocking what liberals did with the Crucifix in a jar of urine.
I read about this earlier today -- the yellow stuff is Mountain Dew(r) -- not pee.
Remember the Crucifix in urine was acknowledged as high art. Sick.
It is one thing to satirise the enthusiasm that Democrats have for President Obama. And somewhat of a remarkable achievement given that studies show conservatives are less able to understand satire.
It is entirely another thing to actually believe Democrats feel the same way about Obama as theocratic Republican evangelicals feel about Jesus. But, sadly, more likely given that studies show conservatives are less able to understand satire.
Americans need to keep their guns so they can protect themselves from gun violence just like Nancy Lanza did. And like Chris Kyle did. And like Gabby Giffords did. And like Tom Clements did. And like Michael Piemonte. And Joseph Wilcox.
The whole point of "Piss Christ" was to symbolize how the Catholic Church was "pissing" on the teachings of Christ.
The whole point of Glenn Beck's stupidity was to try to piss off Liberals (and he failed, badly)
Even better, Glen tried to cash in and auction his "art" on Ebay for $25,000. Unfortunately for him, Ebay's rules state that you cannot put up body fluids for sale and took it down. This got his fans all riled up, and now you have a bunch of idiots getting butthurt because they can't spend $25,000 on a jar of piss.
All this because Jamie trolled the GOP hard and they took the bait like idiots. I must send him a bouquet and a bottle of champagne.
I'm begging you.
Find some historical perspective to put this in, share it, back it up with something that most Americans who were educated in "public schools" can relate too, and stop with the ad hominem when some one posts something that doesn't fit your narrative.
Oh, and Jesus called; he needs the wood.
Never regret anything, because in that moment it's exactly what you wanted.
"Thirty-one* states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible. "
--Jonathan Rauch, Salon Magazine, March 13, 2000
*the number is now forty
Megyn Kelly had a moment of clarity...
Republicans and right wingers often do their own form of math to make themselves feel better... it's much like what some on here have done... they manipulate reality to suit their own wants and needs. Like spinning the massive loss they suffered on November 6th.

SCOUT'S TAKE ON THE SOX: Third or fourth in Central
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN email@example.com March 30, 2013 12:36AM
Veteran captain Paul Konerko still has plenty of firepower to offer the Sox, our scout says. | Mark Duncan~AP
Updated: May 30, 2013 5:27PM
We wanted to know how the experts size up the White Sox on the eve of Opening Day 2013, so we went to a major-league scout who followed the team in 2012.
On condition of anonymity, the scout agreed to assess the lineup, rotation and closer. He views the Sox, who finished second behind the Detroit Tigers in the American League Central in 2012, as a third- or fourth-place team.
''I think they'll get passed by Kansas City this season,'' he said.
The breakdown
Alex Rios, RF: "We'll see who he really is this year. Because he was awful [in 2011]. He turned everything around the way he played the game last year. Was a real problem before that, didn't play hard. Last year, he played hard and did everything. He looked like a star. I want to see it again.''
Alejandro De Aza, CF: ''A great pickup [a 2009 waiver claim from the Florida Marlins]. Not a star, but he's steady, and he'll get better. Hitting first or second in the lineup, a good table-setter-type guy. Average defensively.''
Dayan Viciedo, LF: ''I like him. He has a chance to hit for average and power. I think they took him off third base too soon. I think he could have been their answer at third for many years. He's still young. An average defender.''
Alexei Ramirez, SS: ''Very steady defensively. Enough ability to be one of better shortstops in the league offensively and defensively, but for sure defensively. At the very least, a solid, major-league every-day regular.''
Jeff Keppinger, 3B: ''I like him, but I think he's more of a platoon guy on a good club. He'll hit for average and might hit for a little more power at U.S. Cellular. A good pickup, but he's a second-division-type regular because of his lack of power.''
Gordon Beckham, 2B: ''One of the best defensive second basemen in either league, and his bat is a mystery. I still like him. Still has a chance to be a better-than-average major-league player, but it still boils down to his bat. Has to find an approach and stay with it. Fiddles around too much.''
Paul Konerko, 1B: Leader of that club, by example. Just when you think he's done, he's still turning on above-average fastballs. One of the best shorter swings in the game. A winner. He'll still be a clutch go-to for the next year, possibly two.''
Adam Dunn, DH: ''Power bat. Big, raw power, as much as anybody in the game. Very hot and cold. Very inconsistent and strikes out too much, but a lot of power hitters strike out. Power is hard to find. Swings through a lot of pitches.''
Tyler Flowers, C: ''I don't think Flowers is an every-day major-league catcher. But he has power, and he'll hit mediocre pitching, and he can hit it a long way. Don't think he'll hit for average. Improved but average defender at best with an average arm. I question whether he can play every day because of his size. You don't see guys that big moving well. I think he's a backup catcher. I could be wrong. Only time will tell.''
Chris Sale, SP: ''One of the best in the game. Made me a believer. He knows how to pitch, has good stuff. Poise and confident, he pitches like a veteran. Will be around for a long time.''
Jake Peavy, SP: ''One of the best competitors in the game. I worry about his health more than anybody's because of his effort. Don't think he's better than a solid No. 3 starter, but a major-league third starter is still pretty good. Not what he was, but he'll give you innings. Can be a 12-15-game winner.''
Gavin Floyd, SP: ''He's a mystery. Good stuff, classic underachiever. He'll look great for five innings and in the sixth inning . . . might be one of worst nibblers in game. Gets himself in trouble. A fourth starter, and gets paid better than that.''
Jose Quintana, SP: ''A back-end starter, probably a fourth starter at best. I like him. He pitches with poise. A good pickup.''
Dylan Axelrod, SP: ''Swing man, fifth starter at best, and he prepares himself best as a starter. Good guy to have around. Can pitch in the middle or long [relief], but best used as a starter.''
John Danks, SP (on DL): ''I saw him in spring training, and he isn't the same guy right now. He's lost a lot of confidence. He's more of a back-end guy than anything else.''
Addison Reed, closer: ''Got better as the year went on. Thrown into a tough situation, young arm closing for a contender. One–pitch guy early in the year but his changeup, breaking ball got better. Best years ahead. He'll be better than he was last year.''

A 53-year-old Mequon man was warned for disorderly conduct after being told the Thiensville restaurant at which he was dining ran out of fish for its all-you-can-eat fish fry last week.
According to the police report:
The man had already consumed 12 pieces of fish around 7:40 p.m. Friday when informed the restaurant had run out and could not substitute any other fish.
The man then refused to pay his bill. After the restaurant gave him eight more pieces of fish to go, he paid his bill.
The man returned to the restaurant on May 13 with a picket sign protesting the restaurant's poor business practices. Officers provided the man with guidelines for his protest, which he violated. He was then told to leave or risk arrest. He left and said he would return the next day.

Open Mic: Cable's best strategy for winning the multi-screen numbers game
May 8, 2013 12:23 am | by Buddy Snow, President, CEO, Morega Systems | CommentsService providers are transitioning to a multi-screen service model, offering subscribers access to media content at home and on the go across TVs, PCs, and mobile devices. These media mobility services remain annoyingly cumbersome today, but the industry recognizes the need to push forward and smooth out the wrinkles as quickly as possible.
Ciciora's Corner: The Second Half of the Chess Board
May 7, 2013 8:51 pm | by Walt S. Ciciora, Expert on cable and consumer electronics issues | CommentsFuturist Ray Kurzweil is reported to have coined the phrase "the second half of the chessboard" to illustrate the impact of exponential growth. The cable industry and the semiconductor industry have both experienced exponential growth. Let's use this interesting idea to take a closer look at exponential growth.
Memory Lane: Predicting the Internet, cable-style
May 7, 2013 8:37 pm | by Stewart Schley, Media & technology writer | CommentsIf you've been around awhile, or are of "a certain age," you may recall a few early attempts to couple cable's distribution infrastructure with text and graphical information. You know: stuff you might label today as "content." Starting in the early 1980s, a parade of initiatives flew across cable's radar, launched by some big names (then) in media and publishing, plus a few homespun start-ups.
Engineering-Wise: Cable's place atop the operations world
May 7, 2013 8:26 pm | by Marty Davidson, VP Engineering & Network Operations, SCTE | CommentsCable has made incredible progress in network and service reliability/availability. From vast improvements of the early days to the introduction of lifeline services like voice, we have reduced customer reported troubles from 40 percent to under 3 percent in an amazingly short time. Network troubles have followed a similar trajectory.
Capital Currents: That notorious copyright decision
May 7, 2013 8:10 pm | by Jeffrey Krauss, President of Telecommunications and Technology Policy | CommentsYou've certainly read about that notorious decision by the Librarian of Congress that made it illegal for a cell phone owner to "unlock" a cell phone so that it can be used with a different carrier. But that same decision, which came out last October, contains other elements, including some that apply more directly to our business.
Chasing big business
March 8, 2013 6:17 pm | by Craig Kuhl, Contributing Editor | CommentsThe lucrative small- to mid-size business (SMB) services market is growing organically to include larger enterprises and is now in phase two as cable operators and related service providers accelerate the expansion of their business services model to include the enterprise market.
Bang the DRM slowly
March 7, 2013 6:10 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsThere isn't a single legal concept that has inspired more heartburn in more facets of content distribution than digital rights management (DRM). Consumers have a pretty good idea what DRM is, and plenty vociferously despise it with the same loathing they have for banks, airlines and their communications service providers.
Open Mic: Navigating television's perfect storm
March 7, 2013 5:37 pm | by Jim Tanner, Chief architect at Clearleap | CommentsFor today's well-equipped TV watcher, pausing a program on the living room TV set and resuming it on the portable tablet is merely a matter of pressing buttons or swiping screens. A click here, a tap there, and in seconds the program hops from one screen to the next, uninterrupted and ready to resume. Or so it appears.
Cache as cache can: cable cozies up to nDVR
March 7, 2013 2:46 pm | by Mike Robuck | CommentsNetwork-based DVR services have been waiting in the wings for years now, but their big debut seems to be only a matter of time now that content rights issues are thawing out and the network architectures are taking shape. nDVR will be, when paired with a content delivery network or cloud, one of the legs that TV Everywhere services stand on once it's enabled.
New Products: Pasternack, Multicom, Fujitsu
March 6, 2013 6:21 pm | by CED staff | CommentsPasternack Enterprises has a new line of 50-watt medium- power attenuators; Multicom has introduced a clear QAM SD/HD video distribution solution that eliminates the need for a set-top box; Fujitsu has announced the a Packet Optical Networking Platform (Packet ONP) for optical transport network (OTN) switching.
In perspective: Wait... what?
March 6, 2013 5:54 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsOnce upon a time, Time Warner was a giant media company with both a programming arm and a distribution arm. Investors demanded Time Warner Cable be spun off. After buying the rest of NBC Universal, Comcast now looks pretty similar to 2008 Time Warner.
Capital Currents: FCC broadcast spectrum incentive auctions
March 6, 2013 5:42 pm | by Jeffrey Krauss, President of Telecommunications and Technology Policy | CommentsThe big picture on FCC incentive auctions of broadcast spectrum, includes two key elements: 1) The transfer of at least 120 MHz of spectrum for mobile broadband use; and 2) The generation of enough revenues to pay broadcaster relocation costs, the funding of a national broadband public safety network, as well as support for deficit reduction.
Ciciora's Corner: Technology needs rich people
March 6, 2013 5:31 pm | by Walt S. Ciciora, Expert on cable and consumer electronics issues | CommentsIn some quarters, wealth has received a bad name. A little thought reveals that our industry and our careers strongly depend on there being "rich people." Start-up endeavors need investors, people with at least a little excess money they can put at risk in hopes of making a return.
Engineering-Wise: The intelligent cable network
March 6, 2013 5:18 pm | by Daniel Howard Senior vice president of engineering and CTO of the SCTE | CommentsBesides the capacity and robustness improvement, there's something else about DOCSIS 3.1 and its use of OFDM) that excites me: the network intelligence it enables. We already use DOCSIS devices as network health probes, but OFDM will essentially turn our equipment into multifunction test generators that can be used to measure most of the key RF performance parameters.
Memory Lane: When the sky was the limit
March 5, 2013 9:15 pm | by Stewart Schley Media & technology writer | CommentsOn Dec. 13, 1975, RCA gave the cable industry a pre-Christmas gift to remember when the first of RCA's Satcom series of geostationary satellites was launched by NASA from a Delta 3000 rocket. That satellite and its progeny have endured for decades as an essential conduit for cable programming.

GREAT aditions, cubbybear01!!!!!!
all take them all, please!!!
I will admit I LOVE hairy arm pits but I just can not get into licking/sniffing them. I love the look of the hair though.
I love hairy guys...
I've been craving sniffing a hot guy's rank pits so bad lately. Sigh....
anyone in NC hit me up
My first fetish, and my favorite.
I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it.
Almost every guy I hook up with, my face ends up in their pits. Most of them absolutely love it.
We need more videos of armpit licking!
Just a few pics from my collection
^ the 4th pic is hot
yum yum yum yum yum!!!
Love snail trail, certain types of chest hair, armpits, pubes, legs, arms. Here's some photos I took in geography of a boy taking his hoodie off and revealing his snail trail without realising. (Sorry about the blur, I was recording on my phone by holding it like it was locked and I wasn't using it).
(I have more but haven't print screened them yet).
Thanks for contributing hourlyupdatesat. This thread is mostly dedicated to the armpit fandom but I am also a huge fan of all those other fuzzy zones that you mentioned. I think your pictures might be better suited for this thread: http://www.justusboys.com/forum/thre...il-stomach-fur
It's been dormant for a little while but your pics could bump it and breath some new life into it. I'd love to see some new treasure trail love.
Hot vid of armpit licking
very hot vid- thanks!

Is That a Gadget in Your Pocket? Objectifying 25 Male Tech Writers
News of the first annual Objectify a Male Tech Writer Day swept across the web this morning following an article penned by one of the event's founders, gaming and social media reporter Leigh Alexander. "From booth babes to harassment, snide comments to double standards, women have often had a hard time feeling comfortable around the tech industry," she wrote. In order to demonstrate "the absurdity of objectifying people you claim to agree with or support intellectually," she's encouraging female tech writers to give gendered compliments or make sexist proclamations to men about their work.
Though the actual Objectify a Male Tech Writer Day isn't until February 1st, Betabeat–comprised primarily of female writers–could hardly contain ourselves. Here are 25 gendered comments for 25 of our favorite male tech writers. Read More

RAP4 Walk-In Super Store
The Dove Tail Rail Mount is a very easy solution to a very bad problem: the rails milled into the receivers on many paintball markers are 3/8" dovetail rails, the same as on pellet guns…and are meant to take pellet gun accessories. In paintball and airsoft, we use mil-spec sights, lights, lasers, and other tactical accessories that are built to withstand the real battlefield, and excel on ours.
RAP4 has engineered a way for you to mount those mil-spec accessories you demand, on markers that only come with that dovetail rail: the Dove Tail Rail Mount.
Clamp it on, tighten it in place, and you'll gain 5.5" of mil-spec mountain rail with minimal bulk.
Key Features Include:
- Metal construction
- Adds 5.5" of RIS rail
- Clamps on tightly

Just as long as they retain the beautiful old scoreboard.
Just over from the Victor Richardson gates iirc.
Parmi | #1 draft pick | Jake King is **** | Big Bash League tipping champion of the universeCome and Paint Turtle
Urghh, why don't SA pick Tsolekeli? I actually think if they really wanted to play du Plessis they could have played the keeper at 8 and have du Plessis as the front line spinner. Although you could argue that would be a poor move at Adelaide.
Or they could have dropped Rudolph, and stuck Faf in at six, and still played Tahir.
Sooner or later they are going to have to play Tsolekile. What is the point on having him on a Central Contract if they don't?
I wonder what he prefers, touring with the national side and sitting on his backside or at least being with the Lions and playing every game?
because they're so racist they'll pick a player in the squad based on the colour of his skin but refuse to pick him in the test team based on the colour of his skin. CSA are doing some next level stuff
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
Amateurs compared to CA, tbh. Remember when they refused to pick Reiffel in the ODI side because he wasn't good enough, on ya way to Aus A son. He takes enough poles that he's going to be a threat to the Aus ODI side so they pick him as a pat on the back/promotion and promptly make him 12th.
Discrimination against Vics is like racism but funny.
discrimination against Vics isn't actually discrimination

As much of the east coast recovers from a devastating storm, we at NFIB hope that you and your families are safe and sound. In the coming days, I know that the small-business community will be doing what you always do: lending a hand, staying strong and leading your communities through difficult times.
If your business was impacted, and it is time to navigate the insurance claims process, there is information on the NFIB website that we hope you will find helpful.
There are certain things that no one does better than small business – like innovation and job creation. But, most of all, your unique role in this country is one of leadership. You are the foundation of your communities, and we are reminded of that when disaster strikes.
Your leadership will also be critical between now and Tuesday's election. No one is more aware than you of what's at stake on Election Day. As you look forward to casting your vote, remember that you are not alone. Millions of other small-business owners will be joining you, making the voice of small business one that really counts in this election.
Make sure your neighbors, families and employees know how important it is to exercise their right to vote. Talk to them about the issues that impact your business. Your leadership matters, your vote matters, and I believe that Tuesday could be a big day for small business.

SMS message may get converted to MMS message in the following situations:
1) When sending a long SMS message
In some devices the message type gets converted from SMS text message to MMS multimedia message if the message length exceeds the device-specific setting which is typically 5 - 10 SMS submessages (around 760-1520 characters). If the message is longer, it is converted to MMS to avoid potential issues in handling long text messages in the recipient device. The cost of a SMS message consisting of several concatenated submessages may also be higher than the cost of a single MMS message.
The conversion from SMS text message to MMS multimedia message occurs when the automatic message type is selected in the message options. This is the default mode where the device tries to automatically select the best mode for the message.
The conversion from SMS to MMS can be avoided by selecting Options > Sending options > Message type > Text when in the Text message window writing the message. The message is then always sent as SMS text message and no conversion to MMS occurs.
The maximum number of concatenated SMS submessages can be up to 10 (around 1520 characters). In multimedia mode the message length can be longer.
2) No phone number defined in user contact informationIf sending SMS to one or more recipients and one of the potential recipients has only email address and no phone number, the SMS will be converted to MMS.
