The Ultimate Democrat Strategy: Turn America Into California
Here's Victor Davis Hanson on his home state.
No state has suffered the last four years as much as has California – given that its progressive governor and legislative majorities serve as force multipliers for the Obama national agenda. We live in a 2X Obama state. And it is desirous for twelve or sixteen, not just four, more years in Washington.
The bluest state is polling at a 20 to 24 point lead for Barack Obama. Who cares that it is struggling with nearly 11% unemployment and facing a $16 billion budget shortfall? What does it matter that its public schools rated variously from 45th to 49th in the nation and that it is home to one-third of the nation's welfare recipients, forty percent of the nation's illegal aliens, and the largest prison population in the country? If Ohio supposedly has a million Obama-phones, I shudder to wonder how many are in California.
Bleak? But such stats do not necessarily translate into the bad life for those Californians who vote – a least in comparison, I suppose, to Minnesota's winters, Mississippi's rate of welfare payouts, Baltimore's streets, or Mexico's police. We are living on the fumes of natural wealth and a century of prior investment by some pretty hard-working and far-sighted long dead Californians; and it takes a long time to screw all that up.
Indeed, the state's voting population accepts the status quo: the growing underclass expects entitlements always to grow even greater; state employees are more than happy with in-the-future-unsustainable benefits and packages; and the coastal elite have enough money that they do not care whether they have to pay a bit more to subsidize others and create tranquility in their anointed souls. Meanwhile, California is clear and 78 degrees without humidity – in late September.
Rationally, you'd think that California would be ready to tell Barack Obama and the rest of the Democratic Party to go to hell. After all, businesses are fleeing the state, tax rates are sky high, the unemployment rate is considerably higher than the national average, the schools stink and the state is overrun with takers, illegal aliens, and diehard criminals. Worse yet, the question isn't IF California will go bankrupt so much as WHEN will California go bankrupt.
So, how can Democrats do so well? You have a core of liberal elites, legions of takers and union members who want the goodies to keep flowing, a large Hispanic population, many of whom are going to vote Democrat whether they're well served by the party or not, and tons of poor Californians who'll take any help they can get, even if it's from the people who helped make them poor in the first place. Add to that the people who don't realize how unsustainable the system is because as long as California can borrow enough money to pay its bill, they think everything is fine.
Ironically, the Democratic strategy isn't based on making things better for Californians, it's based on keeping them mired in poverty. The more people on public sector union members, food stamp recipients, and welfare moochers there are that are dependent on the government, the more votes the Democrats are guaranteed.
In other words, Republicans are better off when people move from poverty to the middle class to wealth, while Democrats are better off when people become poorer. That's reflected in the policies that both parties advocate, although Democrats are not going to admit that they want to turn the entire country into California.

This is a forbidden technique that is accessible to those who have mastered the Creation Rebirth technique, and as such, is only usable by Tsunade. While very similar in nature to its parent technique — which facilitates the regeneration of injuries through accelerated cell division — it however does not require the use of hand seals, meaning Tsunade's wounds begin to heal as soon as they are inflicted. Whereas the Creation Rebirth technique needs Tsunade's input to activate, any wound sustained while this technique is in effect will begin recovery automatically. The enhanced regeneration granted by this technique is so advanced and fast, that even impalement by two gigantic swords through her abdomen were completely healed in mere moments after the blades' removals .[1]
Use of the technique requires the release of the White Strength Seal, much like Creation Rebirth, but rather than just covering the face, the markings extend over Tsunade's entire body. As a testament to both its power and her confidence in its healing prowess, Tsunade has decreed that only medical-nin who have mastered this technique are permitted to break the first three rules that govern their role on the battlefield — which effectively prohibit their direct involvement in any conflict — that she herself established.[2]
- When written as '白毫', byakugō means 'Ūrṇā' (Literally meaning: Fine White Hair), which is a white swirl of fine hair on the forehead of the Buddha, represented in art by a spiral or a dot, or even a gem or pearl. It represents the third eye which allows one to see past the mundane world and into the divine world. This is a clear allusion to the diamond mark on Tsunade's forehead.
- According to Madara Uchiha, this technique is similar in nature to the medical ninjutsu used by Hashirama Senju, in that it heals the user's injuries without requiring hand seals.[3]

This is quintessential Dawkins. It is an extremely entertaining and fun listen. Well worth the few bucks.
The audio quality itself is satisfactory.
"You can have an impact book"
So why this book over other environmental books? Tom does an exceptional job bringing home the affect of our local actions on the rest of the world and the effect of others on the US. The book does not just address the issues from the security of an office but rather Tom takes the reader to the hot spots around the world. He looks at a lot of issues that are known. What is not know is how exactly our action affect the word. For instance, what would happen if I reused each plastic bottle of water just once? If we all did this the impact would be substantial. The book is not another droning "humans bad" environmental book. It is a "you can have an impact and do so easily book. I highly recommend the book. I will probably use it in my next conservation class. The recording itself is excellent and as Tom reads it, the annunciation matches the authors feeling. Narrating the obvious concerns of author facing surgery via machete in the middle of the rainforest can only be properly conveyed by the author himself.
"Fun Book"
First the book is fun to read. The stories are incredible and amazing. But I really don't buy the premise that some people have got "it" and thus survive and others do not. The book selectively shows people who survived "against all odds." But in reality there are far more people who died when they were "against all odds." That's why it's "against all odds." Further, there are even more people who set out prepared, were skilled and ended up dying anyway. I do not doubt for a moment that in many cases survival comes down to having your personal amount of "it." But his a basic claim is that if you survived "against all odds" you have "it."
Several firefighters were inside World Trade Centers when they collapsed. A few survived. They did not survive because they had "it" and the other firefighters did not. They survived because they happen to be standing in the right place at the right time. People standing in front of them and people standing behind them did not survive. A six month old baby (with an oxygen mask) could have done the exact same thing (I personally like to believe that those firefighters had more "it" than anybody on the planet). Having said all that this is still a fun book to read if you enjoy survivor stories and particularly if you believe that you have "it." And I believe I do.
The recording and narration itself are excellent.
"An Excellent History!"
This book is an easily accessible history of the idea of evolution. From its pre-Darwinian origin (Darwin did not discover evolution but rather a mechanism that drives evolution), to the modern synthesis, to the modern creationist debates it is all here. Unlike what we would typically find in a history book, this book is a fun read. The author spends enough time with the details of the individuals involved that you feel like you're actually reading about a human being and not just a fact. This is a more complete history than the six evolution textbooks sitting on my shelf (which all dedicate only one chapter to the subject of history). This is a must read for the student of evolution and a highly recommended read for the student of biology. I would also recommend it to the anti-evolutionist after all, it is a succinct history, an easy read and it covers the beginning of the creationist movement and some of the major players.
The book requires no pre-existing knowledge of evolution and thus is accessible to all. The narration is excellent and clear.
"Outstanding examples!"
For me (I teach evolution) the best part of this book is the premise that we use DNA fingerprinting every day in the court systems and no one has a problem with its evolutionary implications. I am embarrassed that this had never occurred to me. For the teacher, this book is loaded with excellent examples and demonstrates our existing understanding of how DNA reveals evolution. The science in this book is extremely accessible to all levels of knowledge. The recording itself is quite clear and the narrator easy to listen to.
This is a review from a teacher:
Frank McCourt won a Pulitzer Prize with his book Angela's Ashes (I have not read any of his other works and only read this because someone suggested that teachers should read it.). This book is an account of his time as an English teacher in inner-city New York. He taught there for more than 20 years and earned himself nothing. Yes, there were students who came back and said "You really influenced me." Or "You made a big difference in my life." But what didn't happen, and what doesn't happen to nearly every single teacher you have ever had, is a secure ending. When he retired, he retired to an incredibly small teacher's pension.
The praises of the students warms the hearts and souls of teachers but they do not warm houses. They do not put kids through college. They do not allow for dental work. They do not allow for their retirement to be secure. Nearly all students will earn more than the teacher who educated them. Most educated students will vote for an expansion of the football stadium over an increase in teacher salary despite the fact that their employer hired them because of their education.
So when I read this book, I see the same problems all teachers face. To be sure stupid students can be funny. Last year a student asked me whether or not we knew for certain the other planets were actually round (she meant spherical) or were they flat like the Bible says. In Oklahoma recently two industrial factories chose to locate in other states because the people of Oklahoma simply were not intelligent enough to work in a factory. This is not an isolated occurrence. So for me, a teacher, this book was depressing.
By the way, the highest paid a public official in the state of Oklahoma is Oklahoma's football coach who makes more than 2 million a year. Who is the highest-paid public servant in your state?
President Carter addresses many issues our country is currently tackling. He is particularly critical of our current administration's desire to incorporate "their" religion into "our" government. He addresses the dangers of the path we are taking and how this path conflicts with our constitution and with the very religion professed by the administration. He covers many other issues including preemptive war, science and religion, environmental degradation, homosexuality, abortion, civil liberties, women's rights, along with many others.
His conclusion and the conclusion of many people throughout time is that fundamentalism is one of the most dangerous problems facing the world. The inability to be OK with someone else's point of view or someone else's way of life is simply a danger to the planet. Our country, like Europe during the dark ages, like modern-day Afghanistan, is being steered down a path desired by the fundamentalist. Saddam Hussein was smart enough to not get involved with fundamentalist Muslims. Our president believes that fundamentalism is the path our country should take and, as Carter points out, our president is using patriotism as a means to get the ignorant to not ask questions and to not think for themselves. As of today America is now more conservative than the nation of South Africa.
If you are interested in what a Nobel peace prize winning thinker has to say about the direction our country has taken, then this is an excellent read. If thinking is not your forte, then buy the book so that you can write a review of drivel. You can actually contact the White House or Fox News and find out what your talking points should be regarding this book. That way you and the rest of the storm troopers will all be in lockstep.
The recording quality itself is excellent.
"Not terrible"
Again, another book which demonstrates how a little knowledge is dangerous. The Dalai Lama expounds on how Buddhism is similar to our current understanding of science. I think it is an error to find similarities between science and any religion and use that similarity to pat your religion on the back. To do so, the religious must ignore all the dissimilarities of their religion and the world as we now know it. Also, this is an error as the knowledge of science will surely move on. That any religion has found similarities is surely a temporary thing. It is like be righteous because there is a mountain outside your window and no one else's (For those of you who do not know, mountains are constantly being built and eroded.). I'm not arguing for or against Buddhism (Buddhism is probably one of the only religions I would feel comfortable with),rather his Holiness the Dalai Lama,is making claims regarding the similarity of his religion and the world as we know it. Whether his religion or any religion is the "correct" one simply cannot be based on its similarity to science.
That said, it is a very interesting book and an enlightening window into the thoughts of the Dalai Lama. He does an excellent job describing the study and understanding of the conscious particularly from the Buddhist point of view. It is not a particularly easy read unless you happen to be interested in this, but I enjoyed it very much.
The audio quality of this book is excellent.
"Not that good"
She wrote Longitude : The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time (1995) and Galileo's Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love (2000). Both of these books were outstanding! So I was really looking forward to this book. Man is it bad. The intellectual level of this book is really low. I am not sure if this is because I already know a lot about the topic and apparently know more about it than she presents, or she just dropped the ball on this one. So I am left wondering if my satisfaction with her previous work is due to my ignorance of the subjects or her poor showing on this book is an anomaly. As it is, I must strongly recommend the other two books and to give this one a pass.
The audio quality of this book is satisfactory.
"Not bad"
Not a bad book. They always advertise these types of books as being composed by a dynamic speaker. I suspect that the reviewer's (the one provided by the bookseller, not any reviewers on this page) must have earned their degrees from professors who possessed the dynamic personality of Ents. Despite that shortcoming, this was a fairly good book. I have always supposed that the Enlightenment happened at long time ago. I was surprised to find that the American Revolution and Benjamin Franklin both played a large role in this time of world history (I also earned a D- in history in high school so I should be happy that at least I know that Benjamin Franklin was the first person to stand on the mon.). An interesting problem addressed in this book was the definition of the Enlightenment itself. The underlying theme of all the definitions however is that the Enlightenment was a time of throwing off the superstitions held by the church and seeking knowledge elsewhere. This is not to imply that science was the method used for acquiring new knowledge. To be sure it was used to great effectiveness by many people (Newton). This period in our history represents mostly the freedom to think about the world and about people and why we do what we do.
It is not the best place to start with this subject but you could easily do worse.
The audio quality itself is excellent and the reader is clear. As I have no useful background in history I found this book difficult. This opinion might have been dramatically different had I followed along with the web based material associated with the book.

Top Definition
A pejorative referring to Mormons. Much as Seminole Indians were derogatorily called "swamp niggers," and Middle Easterners are derogatorily called "sand niggers," the term "salt nigger" combines the abusive term "nigger" to "salt," since Salt Lake City is a cultural and religious center for Mormons.
Speaker 1: "When that Mormon isn't bashing gays or pushing his book door-to-door, he's keeping his three wives down."
Speaker 2: "Yeah, he's a salt nigger alright."

A caustic euphemism for the more commonly known whigger. Said to be congoid-like yet coated with a white layering. A common battle cry might be: "All causes not my own". A clear illustration of their disinterest in bearing forth sustainable culture.
Todd is such a salt-nigger. Does he really think we care about Tupac.

Stand-up Revolution
is a fairly loose comedy show hosted by comedian Gabriel Iglesias, who is some
kind of genius with voices. Seriously, you�ll hear it throughout the disc (and
especially in the animated sequences). Ozomatli is the house band for
the show, which is totally cool. Each episode features two stand-up comedians
as well as an introduction and short stand-up bit by Gabriel Iglesias. The
episodes vary in quality, depending primarily on the strength of each episode�s
individual comedians (the best episodes being the first and fourth). This DVD
includes all six episodes, plus some bonus material.
The first episode
features Trevor Noah and Dov Davidoff. Trevor Noah compares comedy to sex: �Me,
the comedian, playing the role of the man. You, the audience, playing the role
of the woman. Because it�s my job to satisfy you. And you just have to sit
there.� But it�s his material on being of mixed races that is most interesting.
After Gabriel gives
Dov Davidoff an amazing introduction, Dov tells the audience to lower its
expectations. But he�s seriously funny, particularly his bit about people
having too many babies. When he gets rolling, he�s perfect. I need to keep an
eye out for this guy.
The first episode
also features an Ozomatli video and an hilarious anecdote from Gabriel about
playing a practical joke on Trevor in Texas.
The fourth episode
features comedians Dustin Ybarra and Thai Rivera. Dustin is incredibly funny,
with his comedy focusing on being poor. He says, �Why do coupons even expire
anyway? That�s like the biggest F you to poor people ever, right? It�s like now
I gotta be poor on time? Thank you so much.� It�s great, and his energy is
I like it when
comedians still risk being offensive, which sadly seems more and more rare.
Thai Rivera talks about the difference between being gay and being black: �I as
a gay man will have people talk to me, hang out with me, in some cases want to
be my friend, and then they find out I�m gay and suddenly they want nothing to
do with me. Where with black people you automatically know you don�t like
them." And on immigration he says, "And some days I�m ready to call immigration
just to free up a dryer at the Laundromat.�
The sixth episode is
also really good. In addition to two comedians, there are three animated
sequences. Those sequences take Gabriel Iglesias� old stand-up bits and turn
them into cartoon form. My favorite is the second one, with a great animated
bit of terrified doughnuts.
The two comedians in
the sixth episode are Ian Bagg and Pablo Francisco. Ian Bagg is probably my favorite comedian of
the entire season. He jokes about how he was molested as a kid. �It�s a true
story. I actually got money from the church. I got $8,677. Worth it! Jesus
totally bought me my first car, and I got a Trans Am.� I also love how he
interacts with the crowd. He is a seriously good comedian, and definitely has
his own thing going on. The Hitler pussy bit totally cracked me up. Pablo Francisco, on the other hand, should be
funnier than he is. But he just can�t let go of the announcer voice, and it�s a
bit much.
By the way, while it�s
great that Ozomatli is the house band, by the third episode I was completely
sick of the theme song. (It�s played at the beginning, plus in and out of
nearly every break.) But don�t hold that against them. They�re a good band.
DVD Bonus Features
This DVD has several
bonus features, including outtakes and a behind-the-scenes look at the making
of the Ozomatli music video (which was shot at the Roxy). The best bonus
material is the series of animated �Hey It�s Fluffy!� shorts. There are four
shorts: �Fluffy And The Demon,� �Indecent Proposal,� �Dino Is Gay� and �Taco
Truck.� My personal favorite is �Taco Truck,� because of the end.

HERE's an area where both sides in the gun-control debate can agree:Nearly 80,000 Americans were denied guns in 2010, according to Justice Department data, because they lied or provided inaccurate information about their criminal histories on background-check forms. Yet only 44 of those people were charged with a crime.
The staggeringly low number of prosecutions for people who �lie and try,� as it is called by law enforcement officials, is being studied by the Obama administration as it considers measures to curb gun violence after the Connecticut elementary school shootings in December.

The sprinklers come on during a game in Miami / Screenshot
On a cloudless Miami day with crystal blue skies, no one figured they'd see a delay because of precipitation. Thanks to some rogue sprinklers, we may have seen an NFL first.
The Miami Dolphins and Seattle Seahawks were lining up for a play late in the third quarter when the field's sprinklers turned on and started spraying water. It led to an outrageous sight of confused players, coaches and officials dodging streams of water in the middle of a game.
One official nimbly moved out of the way but his colleagues and some players weren't as lucky and got caught in the deluge.
The game was briefly delayed while the problem was fixed.
Numerous television commentators said it was the first time they could ever remember such a delay.

Promoting – Building – Maintaining
Triangle Off-Road Cyclists (TORC) is a nonprofit volunteer organization dedicated to safeguarding the future of mountain biking in the Triangle area of North Carolina through the promotion of responsible riding, establishment and maintenance of mountain biking trails, and preservation of North Carolina's natural resources.
TORC is the Triangle area chapter of Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association (SORBA) and was founded in August 2005. Prior to TORC's formation, the Triangle's mountain bike community had been served by individual mountain bike clubs whose focus was limited to a specific trail network. TORC was formed to unify the region's smaller clubs into a stronger voice for local mountain bikers. Today, TORC is 300 members strong and growing. If you haven't already joined, for as little as $30 a year you could be a member of TORC, SORBA and the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA). Visit www.torc-nc.org.
An important part of promoting the sport of mountain biking is extending a welcome to everybody who is enthusiastic and interested in the sport. We offer rides, clinics, and events to accommodate people with all skill levels and the advancement of off-road cycling throughout the Triangle.
We schedule trail workdays throughout the year to build new trail or maintain existing singletrack. Check our events calendar and volunteer at a trail near you! Trail workdays are essential events for TORC and the local mountain biking community at large. They ensure new trail gets built, existing trail remains sustainable, and that we maintain strong relationships with local public and private land managers.
The TORC local chapter of the IMBA Mountain Bike Patrol exists to help maintain safe trails and provide assistance to local mountain bikers.
Volunteer patrollers ride local trails and report trail hazards and other unwanted obstacles. They assist with injured or distressed trail users and interact with other riders, land managers, and emergency care personnel. The TORC Mountain Bike Patrol follows the rules and regulations outlined by IMBA.
TORC's races are a great way to meet other local mountain bikers and compete. TORC holds several races per year. Each race usually has multiple categories, so that you can compete with others at your skill level as individuals or as a team.
New trail development (and maintenance of existing trails) is important to the preservation of open space and encourages a healthy lifestyle for bikers of all ages. As dedicated stewards of the environment, TORC employs the International Mountain Biking Association's (IMBA) trail-building best practices.
TORC has built strong relationships with Park and Recreation Departments in Wake, Durham, and Orange counties. We also have working relationships with private land developers. These partnerships provide local mountain bikers with opportunities for trail access while protecting the future of existing trails.
TORC holds local group rides nearly year-round throughout the various trails for all different skills levels, with beginner rides being some of our most popular. These rides allow participants to meet new people, learn new skills and trail systems, and have fun. Keep an eye on our event calendar - visit http://www.meetup.com/torc-nc#calendar.
Search for "Triangle Off-Road Cyclists" and connect with other local mountain bikers on https://www.facebook.com/pages/Triangle-Off-Road-Cyclist-TORC/179388852095254.

AbsolutHEAT Ceramic Clipless Curling Rod Purple Metallic
QuanahHairBlondeOily HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairLove It!My hair is naturally wavy/curly and I usually have a hard time getting it to keep a curl. This curling rod works great! It gives natural looking curls that last. I've never used one without the clip before and I was surprised to find that I like it better without it. Much quicker and easier.posted Nov 7, 2013Link to this post
YeseniaAlexandria, VAHairDark BrownNormal HairWhat I've Been Searching For!I have absolute straight air, it's so much work and products to get it wavy. It just arrived yesterday and I got so many compliments! I'm going now on 15 hours (going to sleep) and even though they've dropped my hair has a sexy wave to it. On top of everything I didn't have to put a bunch of junk like spray or mouse or setting lotion or gel. This is just what I've needed and am in love!posted Aug 30, 2013Link to this post
DonnaHairBlondeFine or Thin HairLove It!!!!Did some research before ordering this and I love it! I have thin fine hair and this works great and my curl holds. And it's pretty and well packaged.posted Aug 13, 2013Link to this post
BvHairDark BrownNormal HairThick or Coarse HairClipless Curling Iron Virgin!This was my first clipless curling iron purchase and WOW! I have bought several tools from Folica and this was nothing less than amazing. It gets super hot very quickly and is very easy to use. I get waves that look outstanding and after I'm completely done, I flip my hair over for a quick tousle and add some hairspray and VOILA! Amazing waves that last all day! Great price for what obviously appears to be a salon/professional high quality tool. I even found the MSRP of the tool on a box in a salon and it was $150! So definitely a great Folica price for an outstanding iron! Only gripe is that it doesn't have a flip-out stand, but I lay it on an old heat proof pouch that I got from Folica years ago.posted Jul 1, 2013Link to this post
KimberlyVAHairMedium BrownThick or Coarse HairEasy To Use. Great Customer Service.The clipless curling rod is easy to use, quick, and made great, long-lasting curls. However, more importantly is the excellent customer service I received from Tanner. After I bought the curling rod and brought it home, I was disappointed to find that the heat resistant styling glove was missing from the box. As this was the only one of this size/type that the store had, I did not want to return it as it was what my daughter has been wanting. Anyhow, I called the customer service number listed on the box and left a message describing the issue (it was after business hours.) By the time I arrived home from work the next day, Tanner had returned my call and left his email for me to contact him. I did contact him with all my information and asked where I could find a glove. The company was out of stock, but a shipment was due in May which he said he would send me one. However, he never stopped there; he searched high and low until he found one and had it in the mail within two days of my first call. You just can't find that kind of customer service everywhere these days. I highly recommend this company---great customer service and product. Thank you Tanner!!posted May 3, 2013Link to this post
Melinda J.ChicagoHairBlackNormal HairColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairThis Curling Wand Is AmazingI'm a Stylist, and it seems like more and more people come in looking for some flowing curls, and this Wand really is the Best one I have used. I can't complain about a single thing! It is light weight, easy to hold in your hand, and the swivel cord ACTUALLY swivels! plus, The price is PERFECT.posted Mar 26, 2013Link to this post
LeslieFloridaHairDark BrownNormal HairColor Treated HairThe Wow FactorI can't say enough about this curling iron. I'm not very good with my hair so I have to buy tools that are "Tools for Dummies". This curler is the easiest thing EVER. It curls my hair fast and my curls last for two days. It's lightweight so I can easily throw it in my gym bag or suitcase. All I can say is BUY it! It's priced right so it makes a great gift and it has a lifetime warranty. I'm ordering the AbsolutHeat flat iron next, I'm sure the quality is the same.posted Mar 24, 2013Link to this post

MichaelDelray Beach, Fl.HairBlondeThis Is Cool!My sister told me to buy this for my girlfriend for her birthday and she loves it. Purple is her favorite color so I had to buy the purple. She is so happy with her curly hair and I love it too. It has a lifetime guarantee and the price is right for what it is. It's really good quality. I'm going to tell my buddies if they want to make their GF's happy this is the gift to buy.posted Mar 12, 2013Link to this post
Deanna M.MarysvillePerfect Curls Every Time!I am SO glad I talked myself into buying my AbsolutHeat clipless curling rod! I bought the cone shaped one after watching a few tutorial videos on YouTube, and convinced myself that I wouldn't fry my hair off like that hilarious viral blonde girl. The rod heats up QUICKLY and the heat feels very even and consistent throughout the wand. I've had curls last for 2 days after using my AbsolutHeat wand, something i've never been able to do with my old Clip Curler. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to amp up their style!posted Mar 7, 2013Link to this post

not supportive
Cute style but very unflattering to the bust. Not supportive. i am a 34 C-D and ordered my usual size (12). Straps were very loose and the "girls" just sagged. I wonder if ordering a smaller size would have helped. Not sure if I am going to the trouble of sending it back or listing it on eBay.

Hey all,
My name is Jay and I'm an alcohlic.
Went to the noon meeting today and had a great meeting. It was awsome. Topic was closed and about pg. 85 in the Big Book. Being easy to let up on the Spiritual Program of Action and resting on our Lourals.... I tend to do that sometimes!! I'm not a Saint by no means. Lol
Anyway everyone got to speak and when it was over I had to get back to work. On the way out a girl from another group that was dropping in came up to me and asked if I would like to speak at her home group. My thought was, oh hell no!!!! Uh...... I'm busy, what can I tell her to get out of this????? But what I told her was: "I'll be honored".. I let her know that I have never told my full story before but if I didn't go when God called me to come then it would be like spitting in his eye. After all that he has done for me I could not turn my back to him now.
Anyway it's not for two more weeks and I'm kinda nervous, but God has called me and I should answer

Cool New QRs - What to Buy? Where?

Cool New QRs - What to Buy? Where?Hi all,
I'm after some new QRs. Criteria include #minimslistic #black #durable #reasonably light weight (doesn't need to be uber weight weenie) #not stupidly expensive! What cool QRs are people rocking these days? These will be run on ENVE wheelsets. Links to where to get said QRs would be heaps appreciated too... Cheers Harry
Re: Cool New QRs - What to Buy? Where?Just a thought Harry...
You're talking ENVE wheels not STARRS, is reasonably cheap the best idea? In your shoes I'd be going down the Pinhead route, make it as hard as possible for some scumbag to lift those (S)exxy hoops. Not to mention the sleek look that no lever gives your steed... Shaun ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: Cool New QRs - What to Buy? Where?I bought some of these
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RAVX-TITANIU ... 871&_uhb=1 And some of these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Black-43g-Ro ... 8026481%26 There's zillions of QR's on Ebay. The first ones I bought have carbon levers which look cool apart from the logo but they're good and strong. If you were after the anti theft ones there's heaps of them too.
Re: Cool New QRs - What to Buy? Where?Tune AC-14's is perhaps the best bet - light, sealed, quality. Otherwise, DT Swiss RWS...more expensive and fiddlier but brilliant.
Ours is not to reason why...merely to point and giggle
Re: Cool New QRs - What to Buy? Where?
What's the quality like on those? The price is right.
Re: Cool New QRs - What to Buy? Where?SRAM do a really nice titanium skewer that's functional and reasonably light. The aforementioned Kcnc copies don't cam well, have limited throw, making it hard to get a decent clamping force.
Re: Cool New QRs - What to Buy? Where?I'm using Hope skewers - quite minimalist and reasonably priced at Wiggle (who have plenty to choose from).
Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels...
Re: Cool New QRs - What to Buy? Where?Generally such open-cam skewers have fairly poor holding power. Be wary, especially on front wheels, and especially with disc brakes. Disc action can pull your axle out of the drop-outs, then you're in 'the poo'.
These skewers have a lower cam leverage ratio than closed-cam skewers, so often they cannot be closed as firmly; and they tend to have a flat alloy face to grip your drop-outs, rather than a serrated steel face that bites in much better. Maybe mundane but more secure. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Cool New QRs - What to Buy? Where?
I should have mentioned that I'd only just ordered these and they're in the mail, the others I linked to are very good skewers. I'll report on these as soon as I've had a chance to check them out. Pete
Re: Cool New QRs - What to Buy? Where?I've had a pair of this shape, though not from this seller http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Titanium-Mou ... 8026481%26
Spectacularly light and never had an issue with them. Sure there's a theoretical difference between open and closed cam QRs but on a road bike with rim brakes I think if you do them up properly either will do the job just fine. When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.

1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers nominal-wall-thickness welded tubes made from the austenitic steels listed in , with various grades intended for such use as boiler, superheater, heat exchanger, or condenser tubes.
1.2 Grades TP304H, TP309H, TP309HCb, TP310H, TP310HCb, TP316H, TP321H, TP347H, and TP348H are modifications of Grades TP304, TP309S, TP309Cb, TP310S, TP310Cb, TP316, TP321, TP347, and TP348, and are intended for high-temperature service such as for superheaters and reheaters.
1.3 The tubing sizes and thicknesses usually furnished to this specification are 1/8 in. [3.2 mm] in inside diameter to 5 in. [127 mm] in outside diameter and 0.015 to 0.320 in. [0.4 to 8.1 mm], inclusive, in wall thickness. Tubing having other dimensions may be furnished, provided such tubes comply with all other requirements of this specification.
1.4 Mechanical property requirements do not apply to tubing smaller than 1/8 in. [3.2 mm] in inside diameter or 0.015 in. [0.4 mm] in thickness.
1.5 Optional supplementary requirements are provided and, when one or more of these are desired, each shall be so stated in the order.
1.6 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the "M" designation of this specification is specified in the order.
1.7 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method described in the Supplementary Requirements of this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. A specific warning statement is given in Supplementary Requirement S7, Note S7.1.
