Obama, In His Own Words
This app features audio quotes from President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle, members of his administration, and friends/supporters of the administration. All of these quotes can be found on popular media sharing sites, but are available here, in a single, easy to access application. This app is intended to be the absolute best Obama administration audio quotes app available.
The included quotes from the above sources cover topics ranging from Operation Fast and Furious, fuel prices, green energy, the Occupy Wall Street movement, quotes illustrating the Benghazi timeline, the 2008-2012 campaign montage, an Apology Tour and more.
Many of the quotes were requested by those who have downloaded the app previously. If there are quotes that you would like to see in this app, please email the us at email@example.com, or visit us on Facebook at http://cutlassappdevelopment.com.
A few of the large selection of Obama quotes that are included in this app are:
"I've now been in 57 states? I think one left to go"
"attended classes sparingly, drank beer heavily, and tried drugs enthusiastically"
"you didn't build that"
"believe in redistribution"
"Where's your dollar!"
"if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can — it's just that it will bankrupt them"
"Shovel-ready was not as. uh shovel-ready as we expected"
"I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care"
"The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam"
"They're going to put y'all back in chains"
and many more!
There are no opinions expressed in this app, and those who run this app are encouraged to do their own research and draw their own conclusions. Again, only the actual audio quotes are present in this app. If there are those who are not happy with the selection of quotes, please suggest ones that you would like to see included.
If you like this app, please consider telling others about it, as it is critical for everyone to know what our candidates said before casting their vote.
The app can be moved to external storage after installed, if desired.
Future updates of the app should include:
- Search
- Sharing of quotes through popular social media sites
- Marking quotes as favorites
- More Audio quotes
If you find that this app has no sound, please make sure, settings such as mute and vibrate are not enabled, and make sure that the volume is turned up.
Addressing install issues:
We have found that for a small selection of Android devices, one may rarely encounter installation issues. For anyone experiencing issues with installing the app, look for the "Obama, In His Own Words Install - Unsuccessful" in the tray on the bottom of your screen. If you see this, others have been successful with installing this app by following the below steps:
- Press the "unsuccessful" icon on the bottom of the screen
- This should lead you directly to the App's place in the Android market.
- You should see the "Install" button; This will mean that you bought the app, and it did download, but didn't install.
- Tap the install button again, to re-install the App
Others have seen this problem with other larger apps as well.
In one case, it took many subsequent install attempts but the app did eventually install. Feel free to email Cutlass App Development at firstname.lastname@example.com if you encounter problems with installing the app.
We hope that you get hours and enjoyment from this app!

Which Buderis?
We need to replace our boiler as ours is now 26. I've known for a few years this was coming. Buderis seems to be the best choice as we are keeping the oil heating. However, it was difficult to tell which Buderis model from the website.
We also need to add a new heating zone and the service guy mentioned something called a sidearm that handles hot water.
Any suggestions, comments, pro advice or experience would be helpful. TIA
I think I would go with the 115WS. You will want an outdoor reset control either Buderus' or Tekmar. OR adjusts the output temp of the boiler based on outdoor temps. The "sidearm" or indirect tank is a good option for your hot water. I prefer the Phase 3 to the Buderus tank, but then again I had a Buderus tank for 8 yrs with no problems. The Ph3 is stainless.
Buderus is an excellent choice in a cast iron boiler for either gas or oil. They throw more cast iron than all other boiler manuf combined.
Your biggest concern is to determine how it will be vented. If you direct vent (side wall) it and have an indirect you will be running the boiler year round to make hot water. Oil exhaust smells and while all the doors and windows are closed and you are not out on the patio it is typically not a problem. If however the vent terminates below a window you like to open or next to the porch/patio..... Inspect your chimney carefully. It may require a relining. That is costly. To my mind your biggest decision is the vent method. You will be happier with the chimney, assuming it is good to use.
Thanks Jackfre.
I have one estimate now, for a Budurus #G115WS/4 with Riello burner and Logamatic control. My understanding is that the Logamatic calculates indoor and outdoor temperature and adjusts for that.
We currently vent through the chimney and don't anticipate a change. The chimney sweep is coming next week and I can ask him to check the boiler vent side.
We have an 80 gallon superstore now, which we installed during our reno (now 10 y.o.) and has been excellent. I'm told the Buderus coil system will help with that. But I'd rather not replace the hot water tank as it isn't really necessary.
We do have an issue with heating in three areas that are built over crawl space (not our decision). The laundry room and powder room have very little heat. Thermostats are in different rooms and these are last on the feed. I had to run space heaters in these this past winter.
One provider has suggested reversing the pipes so these are heated first. But then our main TV room and the adjacent living room (much less used) will be last to get heat. We live in the TV room, and that's on the powder room line -- that's the main downstairs bath, also used by guests. Wasn't fun in there when the temp was 50F.
Our plumber, who also is giving me a bid, didn't seem to think that repiping the zones was a great idea.
Is it worth it to spend the money to create a new zone for those two areas that are connected and run on a separate thermostat? It makes sense to me since they have very different temps than the rest of the house but it's costly to do that and my concern is that, with the additional zone over crawl space, any savings we would gain by installing the Buderus will be offset by increased usage in that extra zone.
Makes me feel I just can't get ahead of the heating costs, even with investments made in insulation and air sealing and the cost of the new furnace.
Also, anyone care to comment on the $10,700 quote to put in the Buderus (with Logamatic + Riello burner) and reversing the zone pipes? (This quote is not for creating the extra zone -- I have asked them for that separately).
Also, any wisdom about having the oil company install vs the plumber since the oil company does the maintenance?

Yellow Rasbperries
Does anyone have a yellow raspberry bed they're planning to thin? I'm in Salt Lake and would be interested in a trade or purchase.
Both me and my mother have Golden Raspberry plants. My mom has an abundance and I've just got some transplants from her this year. She may be interested in sharing some more. If you are still interested, let me know. They are sweet and delicious. My favorite raspberries.
Hi Mallybills,
Is your variety called "Golden?" I have a few Fall Golds and some reds that aren't very good that I'd like to replace, so if yours are different, that'd be great!
Would you like to trade? I sell herbs, herb gardens, and greens at the downtown farmer's market in Salt Lake on Saturdays and we could meet there and you could pick some plants or a big herb pot.
I have several potted perennials as well just now: Brunnera and bleeding heart for the shade, Jupiter's Beard, Japanese Blood Grass, Blue Oat Grass, Northern Sea Oats, and some white variegated iris. And I'm happy to dig something up.

Toilet Henge
I guess I could have taken this over to gardening somewhere- but it seemed to fit in well with the home disasters theme.
This display is on view from a major backroad on my commute from my rental to my build site. Enjoy.
I did notice it looked almost like they could sit around on them-scary!! But I do know of couple of people that have magazine racks in their bathroom so I guess "Some like to sit a spell!" LOL
I read awhile back about some kind of dispute between a small business owner and the town. Apparently they passed an ordinance requiring landscaping along the curb strip, this guy had been there for years and he had no interest in spending the effort. They told him he had to, so he spaced several old toilets along there and planted flowers in them. The neighboring businesses complained and the town was not too happy either, but there were no specific requirements or prohibitions, so it was legal.
Not a great way to win friends and influence people, but sometimes you can get away with it.
Let's come up with something you could do to make this even more fun. Like stopping by to lift all the lids and place a log sticking up out of each one. Or stick plungers onto the tanks. Or fill them up with potting soil and flowers!

Error messages upon restarting
I have had my Toshiba laptop for about 1.5 years. It runs on Windows 7, and the browser is IE.
Every day, I get a message that says "Restart you computer to finish installing important updates".
And, every day, after restarting, I get the following 3 pop-up error messages. The error messages all start the same with
"There was a problem starting C:\users\user\appdata\roaming\
then one of the following:
All 3 pop-ups end with "The specified module could not be found".
From what I can tell, I "think" this has something to do with installing Windows 8, but I'm very computer illiterate.
What should I do to resolve these issues?
I want to get Office for Home & Student, but I don't want to install anything if there's a serious problem that I need to resolve first.
I've also have seen this message: "Update to Kernel-Mode Driver Framer", but not lately.
TIA for your help,
Run the Windows up-Date fix it first. In the link provided click the run now tab, see if that fixes the up date issue.
Those dll's make no sense either. Could you run a scan with Malwarebytes and post the log
Did you install Windows 8 ?
Here is a link that might be useful: windows_update

Keep roostock leaves initially to gather energy for top grafts?
Hey all,
I have some apples and quinces that I grafted this year on to rootstock I bought from RainTree. Also chip-budded a few USDA quince varieties on the same Raintree quince rootstock that I whip and tongued grafted to.
Many of my grafts and buddings look good and started to slightly bud out on the top grafted portion.
The bottom rootstock portion budded out much earlier and small leaves and small .5-1" branches are starting to form on them...
My question is...
Is it good to keep a few leaves/branches on the rootstock to give energy to the top portion during this time period?
or is it better to clip off all the rootstock buds/leaves now and force the graft to push out its growth (like maybe the plant feels like it has no buds/leaves left on rootsock wants to push its grafts bud's out as fast as possible to get photosynthesis started to make up for it by flowing more sap upwards)?
Anyway that question applies to plants where the graft portion if def looking like it will bud out (green bud tips).
I think I know that if the graft isn't budding out, then rather than waste a rootstock, maybe I should keep the leaves/newly forming branches to graft onto next year.
Just curious what people who are pros at this kinda stuff thought,
I do the same with one exception. If the root has aggressive limbs then I tip prune it. As soon as my grafts grow about 6" the root limbs are completely removed. Then I wait a little longer to remove the graft binding (in my case it is reversed electrical tape). Being small scale I can micro manage for faster results. Both methods are good. Hope this helps. Bill

BMW Working On Laser Headlamps 330
from the hot-high-beams dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Its not like the HID lamps fucking blind you enough as it is, we need LASERS! so we can be blinded up to 2 miles away
yeah i've had that problem too. my ride was so damn low (~125cm from ground to highest spot) and big rear window (coupe model) that i ended up turning my rear view mirror towards roof on many occasions.
1.25m from the ground is low?
~125cm from ground to highest spot
My CRX is 127cm (I just looked it up), and I assure you that's quite low.
Part of the problem is that most headlamps aren't aimed any more, but more of it has to do with the ridiculously large SUVs people are driving, that put the headlights higher and higher off the ground. Not to mention the modified lifted pickups that put the headlights even higher, and often lift the bumper well above legal limits so in a collision it will ride right over the hood or trunk of whatever they hit. I'm convinced that equipment rules need to be revisited and actually enforced, for public safety
My car auto levels the HIDs and I've never had someone flash their brights at me, but I've noticed that SUV lights can be blinding. It has made me want to install a mirror designed to help them out with realizing how annoying it is.
The 'flashes' I get when such cars hit a bump or crown a hill is far worse. I can adjust to just plain bright lights, but I cannot adjust to flashing/strobing lights.
They aren't too bright, they're just pointed wrong. Just make automatic adjustment a requirement and the problem goes away. Or require that they automatically dim when following another car. Depending on how they do it, you could even make headlights which light up everything except the already-brightly-lit car in front.
Really, the only problem with the factory-installed lights of high-end cars right now is that in many cases the rear LEDs flicker. This means that when you look away from them for a moment t
This makes me glad I have the tab on the rearview. Even if you don't you might be able to achieve the same effect. All my tab does is point the mirror downwards. Get a friend, and try adjusting it down until you see the headlights reflected, but much dimmer. Remember the setting to switch for day/night. Might be annoying, but you might be able to get some relief if you don't have that tab. Though they are supposed to be much more common these days, as auto dim is the luxury feature.
yea really, unmodulated HID lights can be bought at any hot rod shop, in microprint on the back it says "not for stree use"
Hrm, I can't imagine any case where you'd want to use HID lights with stree [thefreedictionary.com]... unless perhaps you're trying to start a fire?
Its not like the HID lamps fucking blind you enough as it is, we need LASERS! so we can be blinded up to 2 miles away
My thoughts exactly. Biking in the dark and rain, oncoming headlines make it impossible to see anything other than painful light surrounded by a lot of dark. I'd like to see headlamps toned down a bit.
I'd like to see headlamps toned down a bit.
Reflective road signs, too.
Around here they're so reflective and so frequent that they might as well flash spotlights in your face while you're driving.
While you're at it, make it legal shoot assholes who come up behind, move out to overtake, put their indicator on when they get to the driver's window then slowly drift back into your lane two feet in front of you to make sure you see it properly in all it's daytime-brightness glory. On dual lane roads with nobody else around....

On that note, someone needs to educate people on the correct occasions to use foglights (there's a clue in the name somewhere). Yes it's cool to have front foglights on your car, but you don't actually need them for anything but very bad conditions (so bad you should be turning your headlights off and using the front foglights exclusively). Turning them on in the rain reflects a lot of light back into your eyes and makes your night vision worse, and reflects a lot of light into my eyes, making me very sca

(Disclaimer: Stunt performed on a closed circuit with professional drivers, do not attempt this by yourself)
Don't look into oncoming trafic with remaining eye...
I'm not too worried about the BMW version, they are not the xeon lights blinding you - I'm worried about the cheap knock offs bound to hit the shelves and be put into some youths car with absolutely no safety.
My first thought was more along the lines of "what kind of idiot thought a laser would make a good flood lamp?"
You don't need a point of light in your car headlights, you need a flood lamp that illuminates a large area. Either they're putting the mother of all lasers on their car, or they're running it through a light diffuser which would rather defeat the purpose of it being a laser. Or maybe it's not actually a laser, and this is just marketing drivel.
And as they stated, the LEDs are bright enough.. WTF we need lasers?
Among other things, laser light is a lot more energy efficient. According to the article, BMW is getting 170 lumens per watt as compared to 100 lumens per watt for LED lights.
Also, as coherent light they can be focused better (much much better) than normal beams
Except, according to TFA:
. . . before the light from the tiny laser diodes is emitted onto the road, the originally bluish laser light beam is first of all converted by means of a fluorescent phosphor material inside the headlight into a pure white light which is very bright and pleasant to the eye.
Yes, nothing says "pleasant to the eye" like staring into a headlamp...
"very bright and pleasant to the eye"
Just a small oxymoron for today's viewing pleasure.
Among other things, laser light is a lot more energy efficient. According to the article, BMW is getting 170 lumens per watt as compared to 100 lumens per watt for LED lights.
I'm sure a 40% reduction in power usage for the headlights is really important when I only have a 200kW engine to power them.
Every Watt of power drawn by the car's accessories is very important. Look for many more efficient accessories to come on the market.
Jumped the shark with lasers...
Put them on the Hyundai Tiburon.
(what's the word for non-laser?)
what's the word for non-laser?)
A "laser" is a device that emits light. The product of that device is light, or a "laser beam" -- the process of lasing just (big simplification) gets all the light going in the same direction at the same frequency. That results in a brighter / stronger beam of light, rather than allow the light to do what it is naturally inclined to do -- fly off in every direction.
Today I can see no reason why I would rather have a laser light than
Today I can see no reason why I would rather have a laser light than
Exactly. Let's take light, bounce it back and forth so every photon is going the same direction, then put it through a headlamp that is designed to diffuse it. Seems much simpler to take the light that was already going in every direction, put some mirrors on the sides that you don't need, and done.
incoherent light?
IMO I'd rather see laser 'sparkplugs' first, I know Ford is working on them..
Is there a significant power savings there? Lasers seem like an overly complicated replacement for spark plugs, especially considering the inevitable degradation of the sparky end. Or are they part of a totally different engine design?
I am intrigued.
In addition to what jittles said, you can time the firing of a laser a lot more precisely than you can a spark. And, you can do things like multiple bursts (aka sparks) for a more complete combustion cycle a lot more efficiently.
incoherent light?
this is exactly the problem with a laser beam. Not having read TFA, I dunno whether the summary's "modulation" means a coherence-spoiler, but if it doesn't, the laser beam is going to be a lousy illuminator.
Ooops, also not mentioned in summary: if , like current so-called white LEDs, this new headlamp uses a laser to stimulate a high-efficiency white phosphor, then we can all stop worrying: the emitted light will be incoherent.
Because it ain't a "luxury" car if it drives on the same tech the plebes drives on.
Laser light has significant disadvantages compared to the other kind. (what's the word for non-laser?) It may be less efficient to just spread several shades of light everywhere but it's kind of necessary to see everything.
They won't be using the laser light directly. It will be passed through a secondary material to convert it into white light.
Laser headlamps would be safe, BMW says, because the illumination leaving the headlamp is indirect. The blue laser beam is also converted by a fluorescent phosphor material into a pure white light - "pleasant to the eye," BMW says...
The article did not indicate what that might do to the collimation though.
A laser that doesn't produce a coherent beam of light is called a light-emitting diode....
Beamers always looked nice, now with the optional tiny sharks inside the headlamps they'll be simply irresistible.
What would PETA say?
When referring to a vehicle manufactured by BMW, the following rules should be used:
2 wheels: "Beamer"
4 wheels: "Bimmer"

....do not look at headlights with remaining eye.
Next time a moose runs out in the road in front of us we'll just have to switch to high beams and it will be a cloud of moose vapor.
Though cleaning the car afterwards might be gross.
You need to get out more.
I now feel the uncontrollable urge to find some way to insert the phrase "moose vapor" into a conversation today. Thanks!
The only car where the Pink Floyd music library is included as a feature; complete with laser light show.
why the hell are lasers for headlights the next logical step? i think everyone agrees that headlights all do their job adequately given the limitation of not being allowed to completely blind oncoming traffic. the next LOGICAL step (assuming we are trying move in the direction of eliminating visibility issues/unknown elements from nighttime driving) should be to have some kind of sonar/radar device that can detect and relay a warning to the driver...maybe by having a terminator-esque translucent LED scre
the next LOGICAL step (assuming we are trying move in the direction of eliminating visibility issues/unknown elements from nighttime driving) should be to have some kind of sonar/radar device that can detect and relay a warning to the driver
Lasers could probably help with this...
I was about to say "unless they run the beam through a diffuser and whitener like they've said they'll do." But even if the beam is turned white and spread around, if it stays in-phase in at least one frequency, maybe they can still
About the only advantage I see in this is the possible efficiency (which doesn't really make sense unless the car is electric). I mean, bright is bright. Screw "modulated for safety". If the point is it's brighter, then it's brighter at both ends. This just means that when they come over a hill, they can blind you from a mile away. We don't even need high beams anymore.
Could they maybe tie this into a range finder or adaptive landscape mapping or something? I'd hate to see what their laser headlight would d
This shows up on the next James Bond or MIssion Impossible flic.

"modulated for safety"
That sounds like it should be on a box of "star trek" brand condoms...
Read this sentence from the last paragraph of the article; "Importantly, therefore, before the light from the tiny laser diodes is emitted onto the road, the originally bluish laser light beam is first of all converted by means of a fluorescent phosphor material inside the headlight into a pure white light which is very bright and pleasant to the eye." Therefore no lase light escapes the headlight. This is in effect laser stimulated florescence. The one number they miss in the article is what is the conversion ration between the light incoming to the phosphor and the light given off by the phosphor. It could be 100% but I don't know. After this conversion the light is probably no longer coherent and will disperse like a headlight should.

A large group of us visited this beautiful restaurant last Saturday and had a wonderful evening. The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent. Surprisingly there were no other guests and we were all at a huge table in the centre of the room. When we arrived there was no cover to the roof and it was lovely. As the evening wore on the awning was lowered. There was a great atmosphere and we cannot fault this super restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone.

Over 250 people, who had come all the way from Pune and other parts of Maharashtra, on Saturday to pay tributes to their Maratha forefathers at Kala Amb near here were disappointed when President Pratibha Patil did not visit the War Memorial but participated in a function nearby to commemorate the 251st anniversary of the Third Battle of Panipat.
Sporting saffron headgear and carrying saffron flags, they reached the War Memorial on motorcycles and cars. Consisting of men, women and youth, they waited for the President to arrive. By the time they walked down to the venue of the official function and waved flags and raised slogans, Ms. Patil was about to leave. She smiled and waved back at the 'protesters.'
Keywords: President Pratibha Patil, War Memorial, Kala Amb

Black Sabbath On CSI
Just another way of making sure that society hasn't forgotten about you.
2:08 is classic 'old' Ozzy.
was he drinking a Pepsi?
This news is so old that the first time I heard it I was so shocked that I fell off my dinosaur.
I heard about this on a radio ad for the show and i was like whaaaaaaaaaat???
Digging: The Clash - Combat Rock
didn't know this was still on the air
Gaius fracking Baltar
It was such a blatant album plug it hurt
Digging: The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site
CSI started sucking after around Season 7, it should have ended when Grissom left. Black Sabbath promoting their album on the show seems a massive sell out move though, to me.
Still, the music sounds good, which is what counts.
Digging: Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase.
CSI was never good.
CSI will soon end both New York and Miami are done its only a matter of time
I thought they were going to play the whole song. Oh well guess we gotta just wait a few more weeks for the album to leak
@ Hoppoman
Don't ever lose your dinosaur
Digging: He Is Legend - I Am Hollywood
Someone was murdered and we'll look for clues episode 400792, featuring Black Sabbath
crime scene: scene of the crime
Digging: The Wrens - The Meadowlands
bla bl takes off glasses yea?
This was kinda lame but the song sounded decent. And by "kinda" lame I mean "absolutely very much."
A bit hard to hear the song but it didn't sound too shabby
If I want to arrive at the conclusion that Sabbath/their label handlers are NOT sell-out queefstains, what is my rationale?
Digging: Circ - Family Strike
you're delusional?
Digging: Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowell
Should I be more surprised Sabbath is still around, or that CSI is still around?
Digging: The Delicious Bread Collection - We Have No Fucking Clue What We're Doing
I stopped watchiing when it seemed like every episode there were 2 cases and guess what? They're connected! Every single week!
song is generic but rules, cant believe that they have another 8+ min song, albums gonna actually be good.
Stupid and pointless appereance. Sabbath have no need of promoting themselves in such a cheap way.
Other than that, the track sounds really promising. That riff is vintage Iommi.
The song sounds badass, but the plug on CSI was really not needed.
Can't wait for the new album. The songs I've listened so far are really promising!
Iommi sounds as killer as ever. Osbourne actually doesn't sound like he's dying for once either. I'm excited!
Digging: Izah - Sistere
What is up with the comments? Don't you think it's a little too late to sell out now? They're already huge names in music history.This is just a way to promote the new album (because I doubt there will be any music-videos)
The lyrics sound a little bit sci-fi.Can't wait for the album!

Transition TR250 (L)$2600 USD
I got this beautiful little DH/bike park machine in 2012 straight from Transition direct. I built it up with the help of professional mechanics at Trail Head Cyclery, in San Jose, CA. It has treated me extremely well over the past few years, conquering everything from Santa Cruz redwood loam to big bike park jumps in Whistler. I am not going to pretend I didn't ride it hard, however, it has been professionally maintained during its entire lifespan at Trail Head Cyclery. This bike truly shreds just as hard as it did the first day I built it. It is almost entirely stock, except for grips and tires. I love this thing to death but I just haven't really had time for DH runs lately. Specs: Frame: 2012 Transition TR250, size L, purple, 180mm travel Rear Shock - Fox DHX RC4 Kashima Fork - Fox 36 Van 180 RC2 Black Tapered w/Kashima Stem - Transition Temple Lite Handlebar - Kore Torsion 800x35mm Headset - FSA Gravity DX Pro Crankset - Truvativ Descendent GXP83 w/36t chainring Brakes - Avid Code R Tires - Specialized Butcher DH 2.4 Seatpost - Truvativ Hussefelt DC Saddle - Transition Diamond Stitch Grips - Sensus Swayze single ply (DIY undersleeve to make them thicker for big hands) Cassette - SRAM PG-950 11-26 Wheelset - TBC Revolution 32 150 Rear Shifter - SRAM X7 9spd Rear Derailleur - SRAM X9 short cage 9spd Chainguide - e.13 LG1+ Chain - KMC X9.93 Pedals - not included The good: Everything on it works perfectly. I had the suspension serviced by Trail Head Cyclery mechanics once a year. Fresh brake pads. Barely-used tires - 90% tread left. It is super playful and nimble, making it great for flow-based jump trails, but also has the DH plowability of its big brothers, the TR450 and TR500. It came with two sets of dropout "chips" that allow you to alter the geometry to your preferences. I left it in the stock middle setting and it destroyed everything, but if you want it slacker or shorter, it can do that! Bombproof components in a snappy, playful package. Aside from the minor fork creak, this thing is QUIET. And it's purple. Did I mention it shreds??? The bad: Minor cosmetic damage. There are a fair amount of scratches in the frame's paint, but no structural damage (no dents, dings, etc.) The stock Transition rims were a little softer than expected, but are still holding up and spinning true. The fork has a small creak emanating from where the crown meets the steerer tube, but it's only noticeable doing endos. The professional mechanics at Trail Head Cyclery informed me this was a common problem with Fox forks from that year. There is also a tiny nick in the derailleur cable housing, but it has not affected shifting at all. She's got a few scars, but is still alive and kicking! Make me an offer. Once again, this bike retailed for $4500. It's really really solid. If you are looking to get into downhill/freeride for under 3 G's, this is a killer way to do so.

Jim Hicks delivers Meals on Wheels
When Jim Hicks stopped by the Dolphin Talk office, he has just finished his 83-mile round trip delivering Meals on Wheels. His route starts at Jack and Jill Road in Port Lavaca, goes down to Indianola, and then back through Seadrift. Currently he delivers to 18 clients, but today two of them were in the hospital. Jim's met lots of interesting folks as a volunteer for Meals on Wheels. One elderly gentleman, since passed away, told him he had landed on Normandy Beach on D Day. One of his favorites, he says, was the late Goldie Sanders of Seadrift. The thing that disturbs him is that there isn't much time to visit on his route and for many, "I might be the only person they talk to that day."
About five years ago, Jim saw an article in Dolphin Talk about the need for volunteers for Meals on Wheels. He remembered that his mother had been served by the program in Houston and that the delivery person had been there when his mother collapsed. He wanted to give something back, and this seemed the perfect opportunity.
Prior to moving to Port O'Connor eleven years ago, Jim resided in Grand Prairie and kept a boat here. Tired of traveling back and forth to fish, he decided to "join the boat", bought a motorhome, and moved to an RV park. He had spent 22 ½ years in the Air Force, retiring in 1984 with the rank of Major, and then twenty years as a program manager for a major building association. Both positions required him to travel all over the world. Now that he's settled in Port O'Connor, his traveling days, (except for an occasional trip to see family and friends) he says are over.
Other than his weekly meal delivery, Jim doesn't get out and about too much. He does enjoy get-togethers at the RV park, where he's made friends with a lot of "winter Texans". He gets his exercise taking his little dog "Honey" for walks four times a day. He got Honey four years ago from the Humane Society and can't imagine life without her. With Honey being about seven years old and Jim 71, he thinks he and Honey "will go out about the same time".
Honey is an interesting looking little dog, (You may have seen her at the Post Office or Speedy Stop in a milk crate on the back of Jim's scooter.) Jim had her DNA tested, just out of curiosity. The test showed her to be a mix of seven different breeds, including Mastiff, but mostly Parsons Terrier.
Speaking of Meals on Wheels Jim said, "I get so much more from my 'clients' than I'll ever give to them." Referring to his good health, his life in Port O'Connor, and his little Honey, Jim says, "I'm the luckiest person you'll ever meet. There's no reason I should be where I am today except for the grace of God."
Meals on Wheels through Calhoun County Senior Citizens Association, Inc. (CCSCA), serves approximately 1,600 meals a month. Meals are delivered to seniors age 60 and above Monday through Friday by volunteers.
"Volunteers are very important to our organization," said Monica Pelech, Executive Director CCSCA. "Without them, we would not have a way to deliver meals."
To inquire about receiving Meals on Wheels or if you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please call 361-552-3350, and they will gladly explain the program to you.
