Flirting Quotes, Sayings, Pick Up Lines
Flirting is a single person's way of saying "I'm free!" but for those in relationships, it's their way of saying "I'm bored".
My first name and your last name would sound great together.
Flirt shamelessly and get free drinks.
There's a lovely person between Y and I on your keyboard… Just look :)
Anti-Pick Up Lines:
He: Can I buy you a drink?
She: Actually, I'd rather have the money.
He: Will you go out with me this Saturday?
She: Sorry. I am having a headache this weekend.
He: Go on. Don't be shy. Ask me out.
She: Okay. Go out.
He: I think I could make you very happy.
She: Why? Are you leaving?
He: Shall we go see a movie?
She: I have already seen it.
He: Where have you been all my life?
She: Hiding from you.
He: Haven't I seen you some place before?
She: Yes, that's why I don't go there anymore.
I love it when I catch you looking at me then you smile and look away. My dear Valentine.
I'm not flirting. I'm just being extra nice to someone who is extra attractive.
Flirting: It's called flirting when you are in a relationship but it is called being friendly when you are single.
Flirtationship : When you and your friend flirt non-stop, but you both know you'll never really do anything.
I've found this new disease, it's called LOVE. I know its contagious 'cause you gave it to me.
You can't be real. May I pinch you to see if I'm dreaming?
If you got any hotter this whole world would catch fire.
I could've sworn I have seen you somewhere! I remember – it was in a dream!!!
I was so enchanted by your beauty that I ran into that wall over there. So I am going to need your name and number for insurance purposes.
If I stole your heart, and you stole mine, wouldn't it be the perfect crime? ;)
Boy: I am sick
Girl: Then go to the doctor
Boy: My doctor is right in front of me.
A picture of you is worth more than a thousand words.
You are the first and last thing on my mind everyday.
I have a secret
*leans in and kisses him/her*
Don't tell anyone.
Is it hot in here or is it just you?
Boy: wooaahh!
Girl: what?!
Boy: my heart just skipped a beat when I looked at you.
You're so hot I have to jump in the pool!
You're the reason for global warming.
– What?
Cos you're too hot!

Hey (some) people!
Free advice from your friendly rhetoric master: If someone accuses you of some action against a group, there is nothing to be gained by accusing that very same group or indeed any another group for doing similar against your group or other groups. It is, frankly speaking, an embarrassing way of forfeiting the argument.
Please comment on whether there is something to be gained by accusing another group of crimes while denying similar or worse crimes of ones own ethnic group which preceded the crimes you are accusing the other group of having committed.
Please comment on one group condescendingly, with an air of moral superiority, repeatedly bringing up a crime another group has committed, and for which the highest representative has apologized for, while not acknowledging or apologizing for crimes committed by ones own ethnic group, for which no representative has apologized for.
Don't pretend to be neutral when you're nothing but.

To think it would have been faster to write Wayland over X11...
Phoronix: Wayland Becomes A FreeDesktop.org Project
Just earlier today we reported that Wayland is becoming compatible with Nouveau so that users of this open-source NVIDIA driver can begin using this alternative, lightweight display server that leverages the latest Linux graphics technologies. About the only caveat right now is the needed Nouveau page-flipping support, which is here for some hardware but not in the mainline Linux kernel yet and the page-flipping hook-up for the newer NVIDIA GPUs is coming soon. Kristian Høgsberg, the creator of Wayland, also made another announcement today...
To think it would have been faster to write Wayland over X11...
How hard would it be to port for example Kwin to use Wayland client or is that even possibe? And will wayland be usable in anyway in desktop settings anytime soon?
That actually defeats 99% of the purpose of Wayland.
Plus, interestingly enough, all of the "extra work" needed to make Wayland run on its own is work that a Wayland-free X11 server also needed done to do all those fancy modern graphics compositing accelerated root-less doohickies you kids want.
Does anyone know what the X.org folks think about Wayland?
This is exciting. If someone made some kind of WayBuntu, I'd totally use it. GTK/Qt strict application compatibility? Fine, That's how I roll anyways because of my global menu bar and RGBA translucency usage. Incompatability with nVidia proprietary drivers? I'm using Nouveau with Gallium3D right now.
I want to see what kind of power consumption can be managed playing 3d games with less context switching and strict render-on-page-flipping. Why render 230 FPS with tearing when you can render 1/2x or 1x refresh rate with no tearing and lower power usage?
I wonder if it is time for the Wine developers to consider moving from X to a portable backend like Qt or Cairo, which not only would enable games on Wayland, directfb or whatever while still possible to run on X11. It would also enable running "standard" Wine on OSX with no X11 dependencies.
Are you sure about that? I don't think KWin was ever ported, it was just the plasma shell (running with the normal windows window manager) and I thought I remembered reading at the time that there was no plan to port over Kwin because it was heavily, heavily dependent on X, and because most people just would want plasma anyway.

May 24-26 / Hart Plaza – Detroit
Hot Mass and Humanaut present:
DJ Minx (Women on Wax, Detroit)
We are proud to finally present the woman responsible for multiple dance floor heart attacks over the years.
For two years, Minx engineered and hosted "Deep Space Radio"- an electronic music show on a Detroit's WGPR radio station. The show was headed by the innovators of techno music: "Magic" Juan Atkins, Kevin "Reese" Saunderson, Eddie Fowlkes, and Derrick May. She played mixes by Kenny "Moodyman" Dixon and Stacy Pullen as well as the show's helmsmen.
As a resident of world-renowned Club Motor, she also created Women on Wax, a record label and collective of lady DJs from the Metro Detroit area. Wildly successful, her label has served as a vehicle to present many talented artists and producers to the world including Diamondancer, Pirahnahead, and Diviniti.
Recently, Minx partnered with Jerry the Cat to establish Skyloft Productions, where the two work together to produce music for various artists in multiple genres.
Join us as we give a warm, way overdue welcome to Minx for her Pittsburgh debut.
We also welcome VIA honcho LAUREN G back to close us down after Minx.
She'll be joined by Humanaut resident AARON CLARK on opening dutie
The Black Madonna's first record, "Exodus" was an anthem to a concentrated pool of Chicago house aficionados, passed from person to person for nearly three years before anyone outside of the city ever heard it. Its champions now range from the esteemed Little White Earbuds blog to fellow Smart Bar resident, Derrick Carter, who debuted "Exodus" to the rest of the world on the mainstage at Movement 2012. The Black Madonna's catalog of current and upcoming releases/remixes now includes labels such as Classic, Freerange, Home Taping is Killing Music, Argot, Stripped & Chewed and File Under Disco (from the Disco Deviance family).
In December of 2012, along with Derrick Carter, Frankie Knuckles and NYC's Bunker event, she was announced as one of the new 2013 residents at Chicago's legendary institution, Smart Bar .
Please help us give a warm welcome to Marea for her Pittsburgh debut.

Some of the best sets we've heard have come compliments of Donato Dozzy. Known for taking crowds on extended journeys through sound and space, he's become one of the most sought-after techno deejays on the planet. For the third trip to Pittsburgh, we are pulling out something a bit more special. Humanaut is pleased to welcome Donato and Neel Rome's live project 'Voices from the Lake'. Named RA's #1 album of 2012 (and also one of our personal favorites), this is their first extensive US tour. Please join us as we welcome these incredible artists to do their thing for us during the late-night hours at

Humanaut is proud to announce the return of the one and only DANIEL BELL to Pittsburgh for a longer, late-night set. Dan was the highlight of Movement 2013 for us, so this was only fitting for our first Movement Pre-Party.

It's finally happening! Hot Mass will host it's first live PAs. And it would be criminal to hand that honor over to anyone other than our two hometown heroes, Shawn Rudiman and Chase Smith. I mean, Shawn built the DJ booth by hand and hung our LED wall for us, for fucks sake. Chase Smith will warm the night up and then hand control of the sound system over to Shawn Rudiman for an epic four hour live set. All improvised and on the fly, as he do.

When one speaks of increasing power, machinery, and industry there comes up a picture of a cold, metallic sort of world in which great factories will drive away the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the green fields. And that then we shall have a world composed of metal machines and human machines. With all of that I do not agree. I think that unless we know more about the machines and their use, unless we better understand the mechanical portion of life, we cannot have the time to enjoy the trees, and the birds, and the flowers, and the green fields.
ORPHX live [Hamilton, ON]
KEVIN REYNOLDS live [Detroit]
SASSMOUTH [Chicago]
REVY live
MATTHEW STERLING [Brooklyn]
PART 1 – 9pm-2am – Orphx + Kevin Reynolds + Revy – Wood Street Galleries [$20 advance tickets available soon]
PART 2 – 2am-7am – Sassmouth + Relative Q – Hot Mass [$10]
21+ w/ ID /// BYOB-friendly /// Sound by Impact Audio
Since the mid-1990s, Orphx has been creating an innovative and influential synthesis of techno, industrial and electro-acoustic music. Using modular and analog synthesizers, software, location recordings and feedback circuits, they draw upon the darker, psychedelic fringes of electronic dance music, and combine these elements with the experimental aesthetics and themes of early industrial music.
Kevin's music draws hints from a wide spectrum of artists. In his music you can hear the steely mechanics of Kraftwerk, the powerful blasts of John Coltrane, the emotive synths of Carl Craig, the social commentary of A Tribe Called Quest, the rawness of Jeff Mills, and lush waves of Sergio Mendes. On record, balance is key to his music: "You must have the light with the dark, day with night, and it's a natural balance of opposites. "
Nature gives dancers the feeling of the super-first class satisfaction of Smart Bar where Sassmouth enjoys the Chicago residency. Levitation and heart since 2000. All of Sam's base are belong to London where she creates high sense originals for Hej Records. Take it easy they will never hurt you on her friendly and supportive online home for the electronic dance music community website naughtybadfun.org. To fast too live, to young too happy. Sassmouth is ecologically minded. This biography will self-destruct in Mother Earth.
Revy's sonic focus is driven by hypnotic polyrhythm, unconventional sound palettes, and a relentless pulse. Spontaneity, instinct, and impulsive live experimentalism are key elements realized to formulate his compositions and dj sets, which are often described as unique, weird, alien, and intensely psychedelic. He is also known for founding the netlabel Bleepsequence, which is becoming notorious for its growing library of quality experimental techno at no cost.
When he was five, relative_q killed a lion with his bare hands. Impressed by his ferocity, ares, the god of war, gave him his first synthesizer. He has been making electronic music ever since.

Looking for Digital-to-Analog Converters?
Start shoppingVideo: NuForce Dia
Jon: I'm here with the NuForce Dia and this is a DAC and amp built into one. A DAC is a digital-to-analog converter and what this will do is take your digital music stream from your audio source and have it come directly into the NuForc. It puts the ones and zeroes straight into the NuForce,and then the NuForce will convert your digital audio into sound into analog music. And that'll bypass the smaller, probably less quality DAC that's in your Blu-ray player or whatnot.
And the NuForce Dia has its own amp built in so it'll power your speakers directly. There's no need to hook this up to a receiver. And it'll supply 24-watts per channel to your speakers.
So I took the NuForce Dia home and hooked it up to my Sony Blu-ray player. I hooked it up via one of the optical inputs in the back. And the Dia actually has two digital optical inputs and one digital coax input. For the speakers, I hooked up Klipsch Reference speakers to the speaker outputs. And my Sony Blu-ray player has the Google music app, which is great because it has all my music loaded up to it so it was a whole library of music that I'm familiar with. So my wife and I were listening to songs that we really knew well and when we put them through the Dia we could hear things that we didn't hear before that we weren't used to hearing because of how much clarity the Dia provides. So we were hearing new backing vocal tracks that were new to us and it just, simply the clarity was on another level after we ran the music through the Dia.
Another great thing about the NuForce Dia is that it's got a line out for a subwoofer and that's how I plan to upgrade my home stereo next is to buy a powered subwoofer, so I'll be all set with the NuForce Dia. If you have any questions about the Dia or any of our other DACs feel free to give us a call.

I think one can expect r900's to hit around summer 2011 earliest considering their recent roadmaps 1 1/2+ years per "generation". So Gallium for r900 is a given really... At least I sure hope so.
Phoronix: AMD's Position On Gallium3D Support
If you're a member of the Phoronix Forums where John Bridgman, the AMD employee in charge of the open-source ATI graphics strategy, is known to frequently post (with over 4,200 comments) along with many other X.Org developers and AMD employees, you pretty much know what there is to know about their position on Gallium3D and other topics. However, if you don't, this post is for you...
I think one can expect r900's to hit around summer 2011 earliest considering their recent roadmaps 1 1/2+ years per "generation". So Gallium for r900 is a given really... At least I sure hope so.
Rumours are (they really do sound true, so you can expect it to happen) that R9xx has been delayed a bit and that the next generation will be a mix betweeen R8xx and R9xx due to TSMC being crap at manufacturing chips even at 40nm (R9xx is 32nm). I can imagine the r600 driver being able to add support for that.
Kudos to Corbin. He is surely awesome. I hope he will continue working on radeon drivers!
Just a question: if google will really open-source the vp8 codec, as was pointed out in another thread [1], where could it be accelerated in hardware? I mean generation/driver, of course. I think it's no problem for r600(g) but what about others?
[1] http://newteevee.com/2010/04/12/goog...r-html5-video/
I just posted a bit of an update. After some discussion internally, we're thinking about starting a new copy of the r600 driver for Evergreen. The programming model is still very similar to earlier chips but the register addresses have moved around a lot. This gives us a good excuse to start a Gallium3D-based driver earlier - not sure if we are going to do it or not but we're going to look at it.
So... the only "definitive" change in plans is that there is likely to be a separate mesa driver for Evergreen, basically an edited copy of the r600 driver. I guess we might call it r800 to make everyone happy, as long as you all accept that there is no r800 just Evergreen
Not sure what will happen with ddx and Gallium3D driver yet; we'll revisit that after getting further on the Evergreen Mesa driver and discussing options with Jerome & Corbin.
I very much like you guys take on this Features >< implementation >< what users want.
Personally I'd rather have you went directly with Gallium, even though it might give users a working driver faster with classic mesa, but in the long run it would accelerate the development with a Gallium driver, the way I see it.
That being said for R500-R700, I think those should be completed before going Gallium
If that is the plan, then yes I think we would try to build on top of that 600g. Either way, we need to get Evergreen running 3D to ensure that we know how to program it, and we can do that just as well with classic Mesa and do it right now.
If all the stars align, the sequence will probably go something like :
- we get Evergreen 3D running on a modified copy of the classic 600 driver
- in parallel, Corbin & Jerome get 600g running some real apps
- we collectively figure out what to do about header files since reg addresses changed
- if we have a good solution for both address sets to coexist then add Evergreen to 600g
- if we don't have a good solution for both address sets to coexist then create a separate 800g
Something like that anyways. Too soon to know for sure.
google start to dev on radeon:
"The "R300g" driver that supports the R300/400/500 GPUs (up through the ATI Radeon X1000 series graphics cards) was started actually not by AMD but instead Corbin Simpson, which was a developer at university participating in a previous Google Summer of Code experiment. This ATI Gallium3D driver is now beating out the classic Mesa driver and is catching up to the old proprietary ATI Catalyst drivers. "
bridgman i tould you google jumps into the fight
this summer google will do it again and spend a lot of money on summer of code@ 'radeon' driver

TourMaster Transition 3 Jacket Review
Joe Rocket Alter Ego 3.0 Jacket Review
Sport Touring Length Motorcycle Jacket Buyers Guide
hey guys this is Reuben with competition accessories and i have baron here and we're both wearing the tourmaster transition 3 jackets now the transition 2 was an extremely popular jacket that was very popular for a lot of touring riders and long distance commuters andevery other kind of rider in between its really functional id say its more of like a three season its a three quarter length thats available in tall sizes so it works very well for bigger guys as far as fit goes its fairly generous these are both extra larges fittingvery well there are size adjustment straps available right at the middle area and then down at the waist as well we have reflective material with the waist adjustment you also have snap sleeve take ups which will help reduce flapping and help hold that elbow armor inplace you do get CE armor in both your elbow and shoulder and then you also get an articulated back pad as well which is going to helpwith any impact protection as far as the actual shell of this jacket its a 600 denier carbolex which is really flexible and light and itsfairly comfortable its not going to require a lot of break in and its not going to be really stiff and crumply and over the impact areasyou have 1680 denier polyester which is a ballistic material which is going to hold up very well against any abrasion so you can see it inthe elbows and over the shoulders its got that more firm material which is going to hold up very well in an accident now we actually havea transition 2 which now this is the very popular transition 2 its been out for quite a while and i just wonted to kind of give you a lookat that one and then you can take a look at the one were wearing basically the overall fit and function of the jacket hasnt really changedbut the transition 3 they have given you much more reflective material so you have reflective piping that runs all the way down your sleeve theres large reflective stripes across the chest and baron if you would turn around here so can see that theres a nice wide reflective stripe going across the back here an the very popular triangle logo from tourmaster which is reflective and these small areas that are kindof blackened out with the little poke a dotted designs across them if you wanna turn around here you can see there kind of through outthe jacket theres that little poke a dot effect those are actually small reflective panels as well which will stand out very well at night and obviously baron has the hi viz version on which is going to do a very good job of letting you be seen now looking at the storing optionsagain this is a touring jacket so you do have large storage pockets built into the chest here and then behind this Velcro there is the waterproof zipper and you have a large map pocket or any large item right here in the chest and you do have those on both sides then inthe front here you have cargo pockets which have kind of envelope style closure flips down and then baron if you wont to open up the insideof your jacket one thing that ill show you here is on the inside you have a small stash pocket so you have a small stash pocket zipperedright here and then on the inside you have some small storage pockets which would work great with cell phones or anything else like thatand then over there you have another storage pocket baron actually has in his quilted liner this is a 100 gram poly filled insulated linerthis is very good for in the winter time so if your a cold weather rider and you use your bike through out the year this jackets gonna workextremely well in colder conditions and be a good warm jacket but now as far as summer time use you do get quite a good bit of ventilationnow theres a vent right here on each shoulder that runs from about your elbow to your neck on the collar so you can see all the way downthis area here and its going to have both the waterproof zipper and the Velcro thats going to hold it open or close it securely and onething about this jacket is that it has what tourmaster calls a rain guard barrier which is a waterproof mid liner and thats going to do a really good job sealing to clean out the elements but they have what they call there pipeline ventilation system and on this shoulder venthere they have essentially a pipe passage way through that mid layer so that this vent can actually reach your skin and be very effectiveyou also have small intake vents on the chest here so if you undo this Velcro it leads to another zipper which leads to this vent and theyve actually designed this Velcro so that it can be velcroed to itself and its just going to keep that flap out of the way and keep the vent openso you get lots of intake air and if you spin around one more time for me baron on the back here you have a large exhaust vent so you canopen that up and its going to get all of that hot air out of the jacket and its a really good effectively way to cool the jacket and keepyou cool inside you see that there is some stretch material at the waist here and then this lower portion here theres two zippers on eachside basically a fanny pack built in thats really handy for storing the liner so if your riding in the summer time you can pull that jacketout or especially if your in a mountainous region where it might go from cold and then once you get down in the valley and it starts to warm up pull that liner

Hey guys this is Reuben with Competition Accessories welcome to our review of the Joe Rocket Alter Ego 3.0 Jacket now sit back and relax because this one is a little bit more in depth then our other jackets and that's basically because your getting two jackets in one with the Alter Ego 3.0. This jacket does retail for about 275$ so when you compare it to other textile jackets or other mesh jackets you might find that's a little bit higher then average however you are essentially getting two jackets in one, one that will be functional all year around meaning its not just functional in certain climates this jacket is going to be a fully featured waterproof textile jacket if you need it to be if it has insulation it can be a cool mesh jacket if you want it to be on those hot summer rides so if you really need just a do it all jacket the Alter Ego 3.0 is a great jacket , now lets get into some of the features. First of all for adjustment of fit obviously this jacket has a little bit more complexity to it there's more layers going on, this jacket that I'm wearing is an extra large which is the size that i normally wear and with all the layers in place with what i have now. i would say its true to size maybe slightly on the snug side compared to some other jackets even from Joe Rocket and that's just because there's so many layers going on but there's nothing that's binding up on me i wouldn't say i need to go up a size at all just bear in mind with everything installed it has more material and then once you've got it all taken apart its probably going to be more loose. You can also see the adjustments here the sleeve cuffs is a simple Velcro closure that allows you to snug the sleeves up, there are also waist adjustment bands built in on each side so you can tighten up the jacket at the base so you can keep it nice and snug to prevent wind or water to come up underneath and the outer shell of this jacket is a rock text waterproof shell, you have waterproof built in throughout the jacket here and then again there's more waist adjustment bands or kind of a midriff at the middle section but because their are so many layers you want that flexibility of fit you want to be able to adjust the jacket. Were going to go ahead and open the jacket up , you see they used snaps over the main zipper here its a storm flap , and then if i open up the main zipper its just one main zipper to get in and out of the jackets so that's a really nice feature. That way your not unzipping 3 or 4 layers to get in and out of the jacket but depending on how you have the jacket set up you'll be able to get it on and off real easy. Before i do open it all the way up and take it off to show you how to convert it all even if you just have the whole jacket put together and you need a little bit of ventilation they do give you that option so you do have two zippered vents on the chest here its going to allow plenty of air flow through the torso obviously not nearly enough for super hot summer days but you know if your wearing a jacket and you need a little bit extra air flow open those up for a quick adjustment so there's actually an exhaust vent on the back of the jacket here so you can always open that up to allow warm air to escape. I'm going to go ahead and remove the jacket and show you basically all the different features here. You've basically got 3 layers to this jacket, you have the outer shell which is waterproof rock tex material you do have some ballistic style nylon on the impact areas they give you turtle shell style CE approved armor in the shoulders and elbows of the jacket as well as a duel density back pad, this is that rear exhaust vent i was telling you about you can unzip that and that's going to allow air to flow out that back of the jacket. The collar is lined with some nice soft fabric its not going to rub you raw or be uncomfortable and then on the inner jacket they used like a neoprene style material so no matter what stage your wearing your going to be comfortable. The thermal qualities of this jacket are the one area where its probably not quite as heavy duty as if you went with a full on textile touring jacket like the Joe Rocket ballistic is a good example of that they will give you a fully sleeved quilted thermal liner , this jacket uses a fleece style vest liner so your not getting full thermal down the length of the arms but again your getting better versatility you could always wear a sweater or something else underneath if its extra cold out. Lets go ahead and remove that inner liner at a table back here so that you can kinda follow along with different layers, but that inner liner is basically removed with one zipper all the way around you see how quick and easy that is to remove very simple. There's the duel density foam back pad we were talking about you'll see they have ventilation holes in this you can actually feel its a substantial back piece its not just a thin piece of foam like what is included on a lot of other jackets there are some belt loop attachments at the base of the jacket here so you can always attach that to your belt loops and then were going to go ahead and pull the jacket apart to see how you convert this jacket from full textile to mesh. Usually the best thing to do is put it on its front , there are two zippers that run down each side and that's your main zipper here were going to go ahead and zip that its the same style zipper and whats really neat about this jacket is they actually give you (better go ahead and pull the sleeves out) some Velcro tabs with some loops that are going to help hold the sleeves in place when your getting the jacket on and off its all put together. If you undo those pull the inner jacket out and whats really neat is this jacket the outer jacket doesn't have the armor in it or anything its just a shell so you can actually roll this up real nice and tight like that and then they actually give you a zippered pouch so you can see there's a zipper that goes along here and you can actually roll this whole jacket up so that its inside of this pouch here , you get the idea its pretty quick and easy to do. If you wanted to, say your on a long trip or tour where your going to encounter lots of climates, you know some times when your out west the climate can change very quickly and easily especially when going through the mountains and getting in higher elevation it can get cold you might encounter rain. You could stash this in the built in pocket that's built into the jacket itself or store it in a saddle bag it even has a waist belt or a carry strap it has some elastic to it but with the strap here it snaps so you can take this with you really easily. This is the outer waterproof part of the jacket so its fairly compact to have a motorcycle jacket in there and then on the inside is what we were mentioning earlier you have a full mesh jacket so this is the inside of the Alter Ego 3.0 , I'm going to go ahead and put this back on so that you can see what it looks like but this is essentially a whole other jacket that you will be able to wear for warm weather so you can go ahead and zip it up with the main zipper there and your going to have plenty of air to flow through this. Again comfort features have zippered openings here you have the Velcro loop that they use to hold the sleeves in place this actually doubles in function it also helps to custom fit the sleeve cuffs on the mesh jacket when your using that jacket by itself you can see the armor is accessible through a zippered pocket on the outside and you can see the armor right there from inside the sleeve. Again the armor and all the protection is actually built into the mesh jacket. Snap sleeve take up is attached to the forearm here to hold that armor in place and ill give you a good 360 here so you can see what this jacket looks like. You have some reflective material built in across the back of the jacket so for night time if your just wearing the mesh jacket its going to flow a lot of air through it so if you have a fleece style vest liner that you can install inside of this that is not going to block a lot of wind its going to definitely keep you warmer if you install the outer layer as well you have a waterproof shell so very very versatile set up. Again that's the Alter Ego 3.0 its available in a couple different colors they also announced its going to be available in HI-Vis soon you can check our website for that its Competition Accessories .com
Hey guys this is Reuben with Competition Accessories welcome to our 3/4 waterproof motorcycle jacket buying guide , now a 3/4 length is one that goes beyond your waist band kind of drops down a little bit lower to give you better coverage it works especially well for cold and wet weather riding , Now i have five different jackets up here ranging from about 180 bucks to just under 300 dollars. Were going to talk about some of the different features when your shopping for a 3/4 length jacket and why they might be important to you so weather you ride a sport bike or sport touring machine or a cruiser this video should definitely help narrow down what jacket you might be interested in when your shopping . Now doing some brief introductions here were not going to go into super detail about it on every single jacket because that would take to long but i do want to remind you we do have in depth video reviews on each of these. Up first is the Joe Rocket ballistic revolution jacket. The ballistic jacket has been in the Joe Rocket line up for a while now this is the latest version of it it has some great features it has some buttons on it and some little rivets that kind of set it apart as far as the look of the jacket. Over here we have the Aeromoto road pro this is one of our own personal brands favorites here at competition Accessories available exclusively its one of the most sporty form fitting 3/4 length jacket Ive ever tried definitely a huge fan of it. Up next is the Tour master Transition 3 its one of those jackets that kind of sets the standard a lot of other brands have imitated Tour masters Transition 3 jacket its a fantastic option just over 200 dollars its up on our website in all different colors and options there's another one of our house brands here at Competition Accessories Sliders Kevlar gear the one thing that sets this brand apart is genuine DuPont Kevlar on the impact areas so over the shoulders and elbows you have Kevlar reinforcement actual panels of DuPont Kevlar so this jacket is going to be the most heavy duty and the most heavy you pick this thing up you can tell it has Kevlar and a lot of things built into it because it is really heavy, so if your looking for a really heavy duty jacket with a lot of protection and a really good bang for your buck too the Sliders Adventure jacket is a great option .And then we have the First Gear Kilimanjaro and this is the one that kind of sets the bar its the most expensive jacket up here and there's a few reasons for that and lets start right here. Talk about water proofing first there are a few different ways that jackets are waterproofed you've probably heard me talk about this if you've watched some of our other video reviews , but it is important so ill mention it briefly. There's two different ways of waterproofing first there is actual waterproof fabric on the outside of the jacket and that's what the Kilimanjaro uses and the Sliders Adventure uses or you can have a waterproof mid layer built into the jacket itself meaning that you have the external fabric and then inside you have a waterproof barrier that is going to block the water . Both of them are effective at keeping you dry to a certain extent if your in a rain storm all day long i recommend throwing a rain suit on on top of your gear just to make sure you can keep an extra layer of protection on but the biggest advantage of having the external waterproof shell such as first gears hypertec fabric ventilation its going to work much better because theirs no internal rain liner that's going to block the wind when you open these vents up it actually lets air into the jacket itself, the Kilimanjaro and the Sliders adventure jacket out of these five are definitely going to flow more air then the others simply because you have an internal waterproof liner to block the wind . Now they do have a lot more points for water to get in if you accidentally leave a vent open your going to get water into your jacket and its actually going to reach your skin as well that's why they have to use waterproof zippers as well all the vents and anything else like the seams have to be taped on the inside to make sure the water staying out so its great for warmer weather . Its great for you know not soaking up rain and getting tons of water soaked up on the outside of the jacket but it does have some draw backs its got a little bit of area for rain to get in if your stuck in the rain all day long , now an under-the-helmet rain hood such as what is found on the Kilimanjaro and the sliders adventure is another nice feature you might want to look at. This is going to prevent water from running down your helmet and into your jacket so even if the waterproof shell is keeping you dry waters running down the inside of your sleeves or down your neck your still going to end up wet so having that feature is definitely something to look for if a lot of rain riding is in your future. Lets talk about some of these other jackets we have up here the Tour master Transition does use a waterproof mid liner which means that the outer shell is going to soak up a little bit of water this is the way most jackets are constructed but what Tour master does is kind of a compromise between the two styles due to ventilation and they have what they call their pipe line ventilation system which is essentially if you look at this little graphic here is a tunnel or pipe line through water proof liner that will allow that air to get into the jacket through to your skin based on these two upper shoulder vents here. So you are having a waterproof mid liner in this jacket but it does actually allow some air to get down into the jacket itself. Now lets talk about some of the other features you may be interested in weather your using this jacket for commuting or for long distance touring storing some things is definitely something that your going to need to do , having some good size able pockets on the jacket is definitely an advantage especially if your planning on bringing your items with you . While the First gear jacket may look plain on the outside it does have these hidden zippers here that reveal some very large internal storage pockets which essentially take up entire front panel of the chest all of the jackets up here kind of have these envelope style pockets as well which open up and you can reach down inside , now some of them have a hand warmer pocket behind that as well with a zipper which i find kind of convenient because getting in and out of these flat pockets takes a little bit more work especially with gloves on your ripping up Velcro its a lot easier to me to just slip your hand into a regular conventional style pocket. The Sliders jacket has a large zipper pocket on the jacket as well , unzip these zippers and you can see those ones actually take a turn a corner and it opens up into another nice and large flap and you have some small pockets as well you know depending on what your bringing with you this may or may not be useful to you they are kind of on the smaller side they are great for you know organizing things you know put your ear plugs in there if you have something and then the stats card pocket is something very unique for the Sliders jacket you see that this is the star of life here this is specifically for your vital stats you can put an in case of emergency card here it could have your blood type any allergies any information who to contact and medical personnel will recognize that and will know to look in this area in this pocket here for your medical information so that's kind of a neat feature unique to the sliders jacket. Other jackets have a little bit less storage compartments the Road pro does have quite a bit storage pockets on it but like i said at the beginning its the most form fitting kind of light weight 3/4 length jacket I'm a huge fan of how this jacket feels fits on the body it would work fantastic for both long distance touring or commuting. For me personally just throwing on a jacket on for just a 20 minute ride just to get to work i don't necessarily want some big bulky cumbersome jacket that takes a few minutes to put on to get all the straps done up and everything you want to be able to put it on and hit the road, so something like the road pro is definitely a good option if your looking for a simplified approach to a 3/4 length jacket. Last but not least i want to talk about fit. 3/4 length jackets by nature typically are a little bit more generous in terms of sizing and fit they are not tapered down nearly as much as a sport style jacket would be and there's a lot of adjustments on them as well . What you'll have to decide is what type of adjustments your interested in , something like the Joe Rocket ballistic uses a lot of snaps on this little fabric tabs and you can kind of just fold the fabric in underneath snap it down to kind of bring in the volume , remember you might be using this jacket in a wide verity of temperatures so if its really cold and your layering up underneath you need the volume and the size to be a little bit on the generous side to make sure you can fit a sweatshirt if anythings underneath but then when you take all of that off if your using it in the summer time and you pull the lining off the material might be a little bit baggy so being able to bring that extra material in its going to hold the armor in place and its also going to stop the jacket from flapping on you. So snaps are one way to go about it , the other way is to use these Velcro style straps on the First Gear Kilimanjaro you have these Velcro straps that you can use to snug up that area. Some of these jackets also have zippered expansion panels the road pro has ones on the bottom of the waist so if you need a little bit more room in the bottom of the waist you can undo that and get a little bit more room in that area obviously you can take up more material if you need to as well . All of these jackets are also going to have a two way zipper so your going to be able to unzip the jacket from the bottom a little bit and that will allow you to have enough room underneath the jacket if you need to lean over a little bit more or maybe a bit more on the shorter side you can still be comfortable on the bike. Lets talk about armor real quick these are going to have CE Armor in the shoulders and elbows some of them are a bit nicer then others , this is the First Gear Kilimanjaro once again being at the top of out price range does have the nicest armor in it , this is actually D3O armor and i kinda had it stuffed in here already if i can pull it out and show it to you. D3O armor is really unique in that it is positional in this jacket you can see you can actually position it using those Velcro patches and the pouch itself is what holds the armor in place the D3O armor is thin and very flexible. Whats unique about it is actually on impact it hardens and spreads on impact over a larger area so even though its a very soft pliable material it actually does absorb impact very very well and it is CE approved , you get these in the elbow shoulders and the back on the Kilimanjaro from First Gear so definitely a great addition to that jacket.

A Chinese business tycoon is offering $65 million to the man who can woo his lesbian daughter into marriage.
Cecil Chao, a Hong Kong shipping magnate and property developer, made the announcement just a week after his 33-year-old daughter Gigi revealed she is married to her female partner of seven years, the South China Morning Post reported.
Same-sex marriages are not recognized legally in Hong Kong.
And rather than accept the decision, the 76-year-old Chao put up his offer of a marriage dowry.
"I don't mind whether he is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted," he told the Post while dismissing reports of his daughter's same-sex marriage as "false."
His offer has been met with an enthusiastic response from around the world, according to ABC News.
Gigi's Facebook and Twitter accounts have been inundated with requests and followers. She is laughing off the offer, calling it "quite entertaining."

Fedora 21 and Ubuntu 14.04 get more and more interesting...
Phoronix: Linux 3.13 To Receive Multi-Queue Block Layer
While the Linux 3.13 merge window isn't opening until next week, the maintainer of the block layer to the Linux kernel isn't accepting anymore changes for this next kernel release. The merge pull for the block layer in Linux 3.13 is already quite large, in part due to merging the multi-queue block layer (blk-mq) support for faster disk performance. The multi-queue block layer will allow Linux to perform significantly better for disk IOPS while reducing latency with multi-queue SSD access on multi-core systems...
Fedora 21 and Ubuntu 14.04 get more and more interesting...
I wonder how IOPS improvement will look with simple setups like 4xSATA soft raid10 array etc (if any).
The improvements described are fantastic - disk IO has been a real slow point in Linux. These changes should go a long way to making Linux even more competitive at the top end of the enterprise datacentre market.
I will probaby be building some custom kernels once this version is available to download.
News flash: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
Ubuntu users don't have to worry or wait. New kernels are added for Ubuntu as soon as they are released.
If these numbers a true I'm going to cry. The one issue I care about has been I/O. NVIDIA you can keep Optimus to yourself as long as my computer doesn't freeze when Amarok decides to do a library scan or firefox/Opera/Chrome have to access their caches or I copy something to USB, or hell, playing video can be pretty terrible sometimes.
Ubuntu has the mainline packages if the user cares enough.
Fedora updates to the latest stable kernel typically around -rc3 of the development kernel.
I was more pointing out where they would be shipping-at-release. But as someone pointed out: Ubuntu might not since its an LTS release
So I take it these changes are only going to effect people that have SSDs that support this feature? or do all SATA drives support this feature?

Alcoholism and alcohol abuse are two types of problem drinking.
Alcoholism is when your drinking causes serious problems in your life, yet you keep drinking. You also may have a physical dependence on alcohol. This means that you need more and more alcohol to feel drunk. Stopping suddenly may cause withdrawal symptoms.
Alcohol abuse is when your drinking leads to problems, but you are not physically dependent on alcohol. These problems may occur:
Alcohol dependence; Alcohol abuse; Problem drinking; Drinking problem; Alcohol addiction
No one knows what causes problems with alcohol. Health experts think that it may be a combination of a person's:
Drinking a lot of alcohol can put you at risk for alcohol problems. You are more at risk for alcoholism if:
One drink is defined as a 12-ounce bottle of beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine, or a 1 1/2-ounce shot of liquor.
If you have a parent with alcoholism, you are more at risk for alcohol problems.
You also may be more likely to abuse alcohol or become dependent if:
Alcohol abuse is on the rise. In the U.S., about 3 out of 10 people drink at a level that puts them at risk for alcoholism.
If you are concerned about your drinking, it may help to take a careful look at your alcohol use.
If you have a drinking problem, you may:
Symptoms of alcohol dependence include:
Your health care provider will:
These questions from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism can help screen for an alcohol problem:
Your health care provider may order tests to check for health problems that are common in people who abuse alcohol. These tests may include:
Many people with an alcohol problem need to completely stop using alcohol. This is called abstinence. Having strong social and family support can help make it easier to quit drinking.
Some people are able to just cut back on their drinking. So even if you don't give up alcohol altogether, you may be able to drink less. This can improve your health and relationships with others. It can also help you perform better at work or school.
However, many people who drink too much find they can't just cut back. Abstinence may be the only way to manage a drinking problem.
Like many people with an alcohol problem, you may not recognize that your drinking has gotten out of hand. An important first step is to be aware of
If you decide to quit drinking, talk with your health care provider. Treatment involves helping you realize how much your alcohol use is harming your life and the lives those around you.
Depending on how much and how long you've been drinking, you may be at risk for alcohol withdrawal. Withdrawal can be very uncomfortable and even life-threatening. If you have been drinking a lot, you should cut back or stop drinking only under the care of a doctor. Talk with your health care provider about how to stop using alcohol.
Alcohol recovery or support programs can help you stop drinking completely. These programs usually offer:
For the best chance of success, you should live with people who support your efforts to avoid alcohol. Some programs offer housing options for people with alcohol problems. Depending on your needs and the programs that are available:
You may be prescribed medicines to help you quit. They are often used with long-term counseling or support groups.
These drugs make it less likely that you will drink again or help limit the amount you drink.
Drinking may mask depression or other mood or anxiety disorders. If you have a mood disorder, it may become more noticeable when you stop drinking. Your health care provider will treat any mental disorders in addition to your alcohol treatment.
Support groups help many people who are dealing with alcoholism.
Alcoholics Anonymous is a self-help group of recovering alcoholics. Meetings offer emotional support and specific steps for people recovering from alcohol abuse or dependence. The program is commonly called a "12-step" approach. There are local chapters throughout the U.S. AA offers help 24 hours a day.
Family members of a person with an alcohol problem often benefit from talking with others. Al-Anon is a support group for people who are affected by another person's drinking problem.
Alateen provides support for teenage children of people with alcoholism.
Several other support groups are available.
How well a person with alcoholism or alcohol abuse does depends on whether they can successfully cut back or stop drinking.
It may take several tries to stop drinking for good. If you are struggling to quit, don't give up hope. Getting treatment, if needed, along with support and encouragement from support groups and those around you can help you remain sober.
Alcoholism and alcohol abuse can increase your risk of many health problems, including:
Alcohol use also increases your risk for violence.
Drinking alcohol while you are pregnant can lead to severe birth defects in the baby. This is called fetal alcohol syndrome.
Talk with your doctor if you or someone you know may have an alcohol problem.
Seek immediate medical care or call your local emergency number (such as 911) if you or someone you know has alcohol dependence and develops severe confusion, seizures, or bleeding.
