Bipartisanship: A New Winning Issue
I was surprised when Frank Luntz' focus group showed that the best line of the evening's debate was Governor Romney's rendition of working with Democrats in Massachusetts and will continue to do so as president. However, it makes a great deal of sense that this line would resonate.
While we professionals are trying to win the war of Democrats vs Republicans and blue vs red, the voters just want the war to end and the parties to come to an agreement, guided by the verdict they will deliver on election day. Ending this toxic division has been a key national goal of American voters during the Clinton impeachment, the government shutdown and the debt limit fight. Indeed, the core of former President Bill Clinton's current popularity is that he bridged the gap and passed bipartisan legislation to balance the budget and reform welfare.
President Obama's appeal was largely based on his promise to heal these divisions. It is self evident that they have gotten worse during his term. Any promise now to heal the breech would be seen as fraudulent.
Mitt Romney's record in Massachusetts offers some hope that he might succeed where Obama has failed.
Stressing this theme in ads has the additional advantage of assuring moderate Democrats and Independents that Romney would not be manipulated by the ever-feared extreme Republican right. It would remind them that he did pass positive, constructive legislation on health care and education by working with the Democratic legislature. This will give great comfort to swing voters.
The Romney campaign should follow its candidate's initiative and begin to stress this bipartisan theme in their advertising. By doing so, they will also make it harder for Obama to sustain his negative campaign. He will be seen as the divisive one and Romney as the healer.
The Romney campaign should also do ads which revert to the basic theme of more government vs less. All voters — Democrats or Republicans — agree that:
–Obama has raised spending and borrowing
–If Obama is re-elected government will grow and so will spending and borrowing
–That under Romney, the deficit would probably grow less or possibly shrink due to less spending
Everybody agrees on these points. They disagree about the wisdom of each course of action. But the American voter agrees with the Republicans and Romney much more than they side with the Democrats and Obama over these questions.
These are the key questions over which our politics has been divided for the past four years. By impartially articulating these differences, Romney can make the election about big things like the size of government spending and borrowing.
These two initiatives should dominate the next few weeks of Romney advertising: bipartisanship and more government vs less.

Popstar Jessie J has added an extra Eden Sessions show at the Eden Project in St Austell this summer due to huge popular demand.
London-born Jessie J is one of the hottest pop stars on the planet right now, having hit the number one spot in 19 countries, selling 16 million singles and more than three million copies of her multi-platinum debut album Who You Are.
In the UK alone she has sold 1.5 million albums and secured two number one singles with Price Tag and Domino.
Earlier this year BRIT School graduate Jessie successfully completed her first season as a coach on the BBC's primetime Saturday night talent show The Voice.
In June she took the stage at Buckingham Palace for Her Majesty The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert alongside the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John and Grace Jones. Jessie then took centre stage at the Olympic closing ceremony for the biggest televised performance of her life alongside Tinie Tempah, Taio Cruz and musical legends Queen.
Not content with dominating the top of the music charts last year, Jessie became a UK best-seller in the literary world with the release of her autobiography Nice to Meet You, which has sold 40,000 copies and hit the number two spot on the Sunday Times book chart.
As a fashion icon, Jessie has picked up awards from Glamour magazine and Harpers Bazaar, become the most talked-about star on the red carpet at this year's GQ Awards, was dressed by Vivienne Westwood for her Olympic closing ceremony performance and graced the covers of Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Grazia and most recently Elle magazine where she unveiled 'Jessie the fashion reinvention' to the world.
Jessie J joins Eddie Izzard (June 3), Kaiser Chiefs (June 29), Sigur Ros (June 30) and The xx (July 2) on the Eden bill, with more big-name acts to be announced soon.
The Eden Sessions enter their 12th year in 2013 following an acclaimed series of gigs in 2012 headlined by Blink-182, Plan B, Tim Minchin, Chase & Status, Noah and the Whale, The Vaccines, Example and Frank Turner.
Jessie J hits the Eden Sessions on July 13, 2013, as well as the previously announced sold-out show on July 14, 2013. Tickets for the new show go on general sale at 5pm on March 4, 2013, from the Eden Sessions website.

The Dallas Cowboys have had to do without the leader of their defense--linebacker Sean Lee--for the last few weeks as he recovered from a hamstring injury the last couple of weeks. Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall--being the proper host that he is--decided he needed to welcome Lee back to the game.Although I don't think Lee felt too welcome after taking this hit.@SBNationGIF/TwitterThat looks like it hurt--just a little bit. For those that want another angle on the hit (or just like seeing someon get laid out):From Bleacher ReportChances are Marshall was just trying to make a play (99.999999 percent probability), or maybe he heard Lee making fun of his outfit when he arrived at the stadium prior earlier in the day.Not everyone is as fashion-forward as Marshall is after all.From Bleacher Report Loading...

The U.S. Supreme Court today issued a sweeping and historic decision that affords gay and lesbian couples the same legal right to marry and recognition of their marriages as different-sex couples. The ruling invalidates discriminatory laws in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee upheld by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and as a practical matter, requires all 50 states to allow same-sex couples to marry.
"The Supreme Court today welcomed same-sex couples fully into the American family. Gay and lesbian couples and our families may be at peace knowing that our simple request to be treated like everyone else – that is, to be able to participate in the dignity of marriage – has finally been granted," said James Esseks, director of the ACLU's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and HIV Project. "Today's historic victory comes on the backs of same-sex couples and advocates who have worked for decades to dismantle harmful stereotypes and unjust laws in the quest for equal treatment."
Once again, the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri is seeking to release Grand Juror Doe from the oath of secrecy—this time through the state court instead of federal court. The change is because on May 5, U.S. District Judge Rodney W. Sippel ruled that the Missouri courts should be given the opportunity to resolve this issue before Juror Doe pursues a federal constitutional challenge.
Grand Juror Doe, who served on the grand jury which investigated the killing of Michael Brown by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, is suing Robert McCulloch, prosecuting attorney for St. Louis County. Doe would like to talk about the experience of serving on a grand jury, the evidence presented and the investigation in a way that could contribute to the public dialogue concerning race relations.

Susan P. Joyce - Online Job Search and Reputation Expert
After being laid off in 1994, Susan P. Joyce began studying, writing, teaching, and speaking about the field of online job search with a focus on smart and effective job search techniques, building on her experience in military intelligence, Human Resources, and information technology.
Affiliated with MIT since 2011, Susan has held Visiting Scholar appointments with the MIT Sloan School of Management since 2013.
At MIT, Susan has been assisting in the efforts to determine the solutions to the problems faced by the long-term unemployed, particularly those over 50.
The goal of this research is to help those who have been unemployed for more than six months find employment more quickly and easily.
Both of Susan's websites, Job-Hunt.org (don't forget that hyphen) and WorkCoachCafe.com, were selected for the Forbes Top 100 Websites for Your Career!
Since 1998, Susan has been Job-Hunt's chief writer and editor (a partial list of articles written by Susan P. Joyce), publisher, and Webmaster. Job-Hunt is one of the top employment portals on the Web, selected in 2006 by US News & World Report as one of the top sites for finding work and described by Reader's Digest as "vacuum-packed with solid advice."
Since 2011, Susan has also been chief blogger and editor of WorkCoachCafe.com, another website devoted to helping job seekers find employment.
Susan has been quoted in hundreds of articles, books, and Websites including TIME, FORTUNE, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and many others.
If you would like to contact Susan for your publication or program, call NETability offices at (508) 624-6261. More contact information is available on Job-Hunt's Contact page.
Counting her Honorable Discharge from the United States Marine Corps, Susan is a two-time layoff "graduate." She was also one of thousands of people laid off in 1994 by Digital Equipment Corporation, number 28 on the Fortune 500 company at that time, which completely disappeared by 1998. Susan's work on Job-Hunt resulted from those two experiences.
Based on her pre-Digital experience working in Harvard University's Personnel Office and in a Boston compensation consulting company as well as her numerous industry contacts, Susan has written and spoken extensively on the subject of online job search and was a pioneer in this relatively new field. Susan also teaches employers and recruiters how to recruit employees online.
In addition to her own websites, Susan is also a contributor to the following websites:
Susan has received substantial recognition recently for her activities on Twitter including:
99 People to Follow on Twitter 2013 - list from CareerSherpa.net

Tiger News
No. 2 Tiger grapplers dominate in opener
Posted by Chris Megginson - Fri, Nov. 5, 2010 - [Men's Wrestling]
Tyler Alsip made his Tiger debut after a 2009-10 redshirt season with a pin at 133 pounds against Central Baptist College.
Sure, there were a few forfeits by the other team, but second-ranked Campbellsville University opened the 2010-11 season in dominating fashion at Gosser Gymnasium, winning by scores of 56-0 and 48-0 Friday.
The Tiger wrestling team opened its season at home for the first time since 2007 by hosting Central Baptist College and Ohio Valley University in a tri-match.
"I thought it was a good start. No matther who we wrestle, we were able to do some things tonight we've been working on," CU head coach Franky James said. "We usually start with a really tough tournament or (NCCAA) Division I duel, but with this team, I wanted to try something different."
The two visiting schools started the night in a fully lit Gosser Gym. Central Baptist, a first-year program, held off Ohio Valley for its first program win, 33-24.
Following the match, Campbellsville beat CBC, 56-0, in the Tigers' first spotlight duel of the season.
Campbellsville collected pins in its first six weight class matches and also picked up two forfeits to take a 48-0 lead with two weight classes remaining. All six pins came in the first period, but three came in less than a minute and a half. Johnny Papesh, a 2009 All-American, opened the season for CU with a pin in only 1:15 at 125 pounds. Three-time All-American David Clemens made his return after a year off to win his first match with a pin in 1:16 at 174 pounds. But the quickest pin of the night came at 165 pounds, as Conor Young took down his opponent in 1:14 to make the score 36-0 and clinch the win for CU.
"I was concerned about Conor wrestling tonight, because he's been a little banged up, but he wrestled well," James said.
CU closed the night with a duel against Ohio Valley, winning 48-0.
With forfeits by OVU at the first three weight classes, Matt Milton started the duel with a 15-0 tech fall in a time of 3:49 at 149 pounds. After Seth Lucas won by am 11-4 decision, Young collected his second pin of the season in a time of 4:34. Clemens picked up his second win of the season with a tech fall, 11-3, to push the Tigers' lead to 36-0 and clinch CU's second win of the season. Josh Ashbrook and Chris Daniels closed the match with decisions at 184 pounds and heavyweight.
Between the two Tiger matches, there were heavyweight exhibitions between Campbellsville and CBC. Campbellsville freshman Jordan Marero pinned Derek McCain in the first exhibition in only 30 seconds, while Dane Cullen also recorded a pin in his exhibition, beating Jared Plaster of CBC in 1:55.
Campbellsville (2-0) will host No. 5 Cumberland University in its Mid-South Conference opener Thursday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m.

Evans cycles - the MacDonalds of bicycles?
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
My wife and I just purchased new bikes on the end-of-season sales. I got mine from an LBS (PedalOn) and she got hers from Evans, and had it delivered to a branch near her work. My experience - I went in, looked at the bikes on offer with an eye to one model. They didn't have one built up in my size, but offered to do so for me in a few days and called me when I was ready. I dropped back and they fitted me to the bike, attached appropriate pedals and sent me off on a test ride. I bought the bike, a happy customer.
My wife orders hers online. Evans emails her from the branch to say the bike is ready but she can't go that day - she goes the following day. She arrives but the bike *isn't* ready. She had ordered some clipless pedals as well, which were not attached. The seatpost was way too high for her, she said getting them to lower it was as if she had asked them for the moon. That was it - no fit, no test, no "let's see if the bolts are tight". See ya. When she brought it home I noted all the protective tape was still on - I suppose that's up to the customer to remove. At least the pedals were tight - the last bike she bought from Evans the pedals almost fell off on the way home (and let's remember they tighten as you ride...)
Our nearest Evans shop is also pretty hopeless. I went in to buy a couple of tubes once and walked out in disgust - three people working and none could figure out how the till worked! I have bought one bike from them, and it was fine, but I ordered it in a box and set it up myself. I note that "way back then" (a few years ago) a new bike came with a bike tool, a pedal spanner and a classy "book" with all the info. Now? Nuthin'. Oh - that was another thing about my wife's bike - they gave her an instruction manual for an entirely different bike - not even the same brand. Fail, fail, fail.
Halfords may sell some crap, but I think they know their place - mass market with some decent higher-end stuff. Evans seem to think they are gods - and their regular pricing is the most expensive on everything. They run a regular "question time" on Facebook which is a joke - it's like the tower of Babel with them trying to plug products and people asking questions from every angle. But, hey - social media is the future of cycling, I guess.
Or is it just me?
They're in an awkward position - catering for all varieties of experience, the commuter, sports/leisure road rider, downhiller, and whatever gets people on odd fixies.
A decent LBS has to do all that without advertising in magazines or flashy shop fittings.
My local shop has sold bikes to a huge range of people. Recent ones I know of include a child's first bike, top-of-the-range TCRs, MTBs of varying wheel sizes and types for the downhill, XC and enduro racers and a 3-speed town bike complete with basket to my son's godmother who is now retired and finally learnt to ride. It's all in a day's work. The staff love bikes and riding, and every customer is treated equally well.

I'VE Never bought a bike from Evans but I have bought bits/parts/locks etc from them.
Manchester's Deansgate store always seems to have friendly and helpful staff, albeit sometimes a little stretched numbers wise.
The occasions I've used the store at the National Cycling Centre the staff have all been great.
It could be a combination of luck and also having much lower expectations because I'm not handing over several hundred quid that means I've generally been happy with Evan's and their service.

I had an okay experience buying a bike from Evans; it's their after sales service (or total lack of) I found appalling. Needless to say their warranty didn't cover any of the issues I had with my new bike. I ended up paying a LBS to do the repairs properly. I have now sworn I will never use them again not even for an inner tube.

I've had the hard sell in Evans; trying to sell me all kinds of crazy sh*t that I don't need.
Cycle Surgery in Manchester I have few complaints with though. There was one fella who thought fit to change my use of pedal spacers without telling me (oh, so after seeing me in the shop for 5 mins, you know my biomechanics intimately already?!) but the other two guys I usually speak to know what they're doing.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice...

Hmm. Seems like quite a lot of bad experiences above.
I have had nothing worse than good service from them, and at times excellent.
Over the years, I have shopped in a number of the London stores: The Cut, Clapham, Wandsworth and Victoria and been pleased with all.
I bought my race bike from Evans, and over the course of 3 trips to 2 stores, completed decent (3-8 miles) test rides of 5+ bikes. There was no problem getting any of the bikes into store for me, they were happy to spend time setting up each bike to my needs, swapping my pedals over between bikes, changing saddle heights, etc. I ended up with a bike that I absolutely adore.
I have been riding/building/maintaining/obsessing over bikes for enough years to know probably more about bikes in general than most of their staff, and perhaps that helps, but I have no complaints with the service I have received.
Shame that the experiences I have had seem not to be universal.

Tried the Cheltenham shop for a disc braked road/CX bike. Choice ok but the nipper who tried to sell to me knew sod all or was incorrect. Didn't know that 105 was "above " Tiagra as an example.
Same in most bike chains in any sport.

I used to buy all my stuff at Evans (online/various stores). A nasty experience at the Reading store (time wasting and parts not there when they said they were, etc) allowed me to put the final nail into the coffin for them.
Now I just buy from Wiggle and life is much better. Wiggles Returns policy is lovely. I just pop into the local collect+ store on my way home if I need to return stuff. Can't ask for anything more. I'd pay more to get good service.
Now just need to find a good LBS near Slough.

I should say; Evans used to be better, and more competitive. I suspect expansion, the mini-boom UK cycling is experiencing and them taking the eye off the customer-service ball are all part of a problem they could still fix. They have the locations.
I have pretty good luck with Wiggle - quick free shipping and no problems with items on the site but not in stock (which at least a few other have problems with). I did have an issue with a set of bibs from Wiggle that came with a seam unsewn for an inch or so. They wanted a picture of the defect (done), then had a form for me to complete with the message
"Please send it back to us using the returns system found on our website and we will refund your returns carriage if found to be faulty. If the product is out of warranty or not considered a manufacturers defect we may only be able offer a repair service which may incur a fixing charge." - While I realise that is boilerplate, I expected a bit more after sending them a photo. Why bother?
I just gave in and sewed the things up myself. Compare to Northumberland with the new tyre in the post the next day - just return the defective one in the included postage-paid pack.
Chain Reaction is also fast - never had to return anything so can't say about that. The problem I have with CRC is that their listings are so skimpy you are sometimes not really sure what they are offering.

It's a bit of a lottery where ever you go. I've recently bought a bike from Evans Bristol and the first assistant I spoke to was useless. A return visit and I got a different chap and a much more knowledgeable conversation. When I actually bought it, the assistant didn't try to sell me anything extra and even suggested that I could get some bits I wanted cheaper elsewhere.
Some on here have praised Wiggle by my recent experience with them is that their communication is terrible when the item isn't in stock and then they don't like you writing an honest review.
Pay your money and take your choice.

Its not just Evans, Planet X are just as bad and they are meant to know what they are doing.
I ordered a bike on cyclescheme, had to pay an extra 10% for the pleasure even though they are hardly small time anymore with the millions been pumped into the business. They confirmed the parts ordered where reserved awaiting receipt of my voucher, said voucher came and forwarded to PX, a day later the order goes "awaiting stock", called and found out they had given away my parts and not only that but then told me in the most demeaning way "cash payments take priority" even though they are paying less for the same bike.
2 weeks later the bike arrived, hardly any packaging in the box and a little cardboard box called "Your Starter Kit", I thought cracking all the stuff I will need for the bike so I looked in it, nothing except some random certificate stating I had bought said bike, it looked like something a year 11 could have drafted and printed, no instructions, no warranty and no tools to put the bike together (though I have these not everyone does).
Numerous problems with the bike from the brakes to flat spots on wheels, they even put the seat post at its lowest setting so when adjusted the carbon pole was scratched due to the poor finish on the frame.
Evans are bad but they are in no way alone on this front.

I bought a Pinnacle MTB from Evans Birmingham a couple of months ago and it went well. Bike ordered in, built up when they said it would be, some fettling between spins round the blocks. Staff knew what they were talking about and were friendly enough. Hasn't been back for it's first service yet but I've had a couple of things done in the workshop and no complaints so far.
I've had far, far worse experiences in LBSs so I guess it really is luck of the draw.
Evans suck. Mediocre product range and disinterested staff who don't generally know what they're talking about
I sort of agree on the product range, but as a mainstream, high street operation it's not very surprising- there's probably very little point in them stocking the more niche stuff.

Got my CAAD8 from there; had to for the work CTW scheme. Spent a little while going into different branches looking for one where the staff seemed to want the business; failed, so just got it from the most convenient.
Took over an hour to just pick it up - I took it for a spin to check it was the right size and built properly, then I was getting £100 of free accessories so they needed choosing but I couldn't actually pay and go until I'd tracked down a member of staff and waited in line. This when spending £1000... how much do you have to spend to get their attention?
It's not a bike shop. Just a shop that sells bikes.

I've always received good service from the Evans at Castleford (except from one member of staff) and so so from the one in Leeds.
I find their choice of stock very limited and frustrating. It seems if you want Louis Garneau whatever, then you're in luck. Giro helmet, Shimano shoes, Endura Luminite gear... no chance!
I ordered an Endura Luminite jacket to collect in store, when I picked it up it was dirty, torn and literally stuffed into a bag for delivery. Took a week to get a replacement!

I am thinking of giving Evans another chance on a bike order, my first experience was as a noob to cycling and left the store thinking all would be well, turned out the down tube had a dint and a chip out of the head tube and the gears where never right, they needed constant indexing and adjustment. I took it back when I noticed (due to snow I had done 12 miles and less than 2 weeks later) and they just said "prove it was us", we ended up with an argument over and over but in the end I gave up, legally it was down to them to prove it but some cocksure nobber thought he was right, all because I mentioned the mech should have picked up on it.
The new BMC hybrid range is looking pretty tasty if it ever comes into stock, the top range Hoy flat bar does too, so I might be tempted back. This time I will inspect every inch and use the letter of retail laws to make sure it is running smooth for the first year without issue.
Do you think they will discount bikes for cash?

As Sasha Baron Conan as Borat would say: " I like Evans very much .............NOT."
Need proof: http://innercitymobility.blogspot.de/2013/07/viva-la-tour-evans-test-sec...
Online is ok as I was able to get Sky stuff, which was sold out on the Rapha website, in-store is like hampstead bandit said, peanuts and monkeys.
Coming to think of McD, there are two good things to say:
- the toilets are clean
- They use paper bags
BUT do they know a tea bag needs to be removed to avoid the tea getting bitter?

I've had good service from Evans online, including one bike, which came better prepared than one I got from my previous LBS; however I found a brilliant bike shop in Wareham Dorset, which is 40 miles away but has become my shop of choice. Knowledgable and helpful staff, good range of bikes, situated in a railway station and with great rides on the doorstep- take a bow, Cycleexperience; no connection other than as a satisfied customer.

Never had an issue at the Gatwick store - it's actually my LBS! Knowledgeable staff and helpful with everything I've needed. It's a big chain and I can see that other stores are not the same as Gatwick. Halfords is trying to get there and they certainly have a huge customer base and the place most go for that first bike. They are miles away from Evans and still a car accessory shop IMHO.

I think that's the issue in a nutshell. But while of course individual stores vary, the of randomness service at Evan's implies that whoever runs the company has taken their eye off the ball, and can't be bothered to do proper training.
Halfords has a somewhat more diverse base, so can perhaps better weather the inevitable peaks and troughs of any retail business. Too bad their website doesn't like (my) Macs, as they have some good sale prices and their range keeps increasing. Whoever built their website forged their own road, though.
Evan's, OTOH, have decent prices on bikes, but pretty much everything else is available for less everywhere else.

The thing with a LBS is that it can be intimidating for a beginner. When I decided to buy a road bike my first call was at my LBS where I found a couple of lean, wiry blokes in lycra discussing gear ratios they were planning to use on their 100 miles plus ride that weekend.
Then the assistant bewildered me with jargon (that I now understand) and insisted on trying to sell me a bike that was £300 more than my budget. I realised that this was a world I was unready to enter.
So I went to Halfords, selected a bike off the shop floor on the basis that I liked its colour and didn't feel that anyone was patronising me.
2 years later I was able to buy a bike from the LBS confident that I knew what I wanted and what the assistant was talking about.

My daughter picked up a bike from Evans a couple of weeks ago, because her firm are tied into Evans for the Bike to Work scheme.
Yes, there were a few assembly niggles; I had to sort out the bearings, retrue one of the wheels, adjust the headset, fix the mudguard, replace the seat bolt and seat both tyres properly, but I'm pragmatic about it. A couple of hours in my workshop were a lot less hassle than a protracted situation at the store.
At the end of the day, staff at Evans are hardly the bastions of bicycle knowledge. If they were then they'd find better wages elsewhere, wouldn't they? So go easy on them. And no shop assistant likes a smartarse customer asking patently complicated questions.
Do your homework, know what you want so you can just point to the bike you want, keep your receipt, take your bike back for anything serious, but just accept that what you're buying into is only one step up from buying a partly assembled bike in a box.
For many customers, especially ones who would be intimdated by staff at a LBS, Evans is all they really need, at least for their first bike.

Wasn't it Einstein who said if you can't explain something simply you don't understand it well enough?
If a LBS can't provide advice to a novice without going into Jargon they don't know enough about cycling/their products.

I bought my first/only bike from Evans' Clapham store and a number of other clothing items and accessories from a few other of their branches as well as online. I didn't have any "bad" experiences in the stores, and did encounter one girl in the Clapham branch who took the time to talk to me for half an hour all about carbon fibre and the merits and otherwise of various models, as well as taking a fair bit of time to fit me to a couple of bikes I was taking for a test ride.
Others in the same branch seemed to simply be salespeople in a bike shop. Which is what I found elsewhere as well. Overall I didn't have an unsatisfactory experience (I did when buying online though) - would have been better if I could have always dealt with that girl who knew what she was talking about and appeared to genuinely love cycling, as opposed to the opinionless salespeople I subsequently had to deal with.
When shopping around I also went to a LBS nearby the Clapham branch - can't remember the name, opposite side of the road and a bit further down. Spoke to a couple of the people there and it was a totally different experience, I was speaking to people with loads of experience and knowledge as opposed to some 18 year old salesperson. I didn't buy there in the end as I went with my work's Evans cycling scheme, but the contrast really made an impression on me.
My problem with Evans is mainly that they have a very small selection of items relative to other online retailers, and their prices are almost always more than their online competitors. And I never get items as quick from them as I do from Ribble/Wiggle. Due to these factors I stopped shopping with Evans completely, and Wiggle gets most of my custom as I've had consistently good experiences with them.

I remember going to the original Evans shop 30 years ago in The Cut, London. Even then they were highly over-priced and had an air of superiority about them. I was a schoolboy racer then. I have recently visited the Lakeside, Essex branch of Evans and the staff were like extras from The Living Dead. One guy stood near the till trying to stay awake until the end of his shift, yawning continuously. The stock is very poor though the shop is huge. I really would never use them now, it has to be the worst cycle retailer in the UK? I stick with Wiggle, Merlin Cycles, Ribble and CRC. In the old days we had great shops such as J D Whisker Willesden Lane, London and Goffs Oak Herts. Or Brian Wilkins Velosport in Epping.
I'm sure that I used to be fast?

I think its down to the individuals within the stores, I've never had anyone try to hard sell me anything at Evans. If they did i think i could easily deal with that one. My experience is generally a positive one on all counts. I've had many decent open conversations with them on all aspects of road cycling. When businesses get as big as they do consistency of what they deliver is a key challenge. I've been to just as many LBS's and found them arrogant and looking down their noses at you. time will tell on all these, in this day an age delivering a good customer experience is key to any business' survival and repeat custom.

I got a pair of tyres from there (click and collect) the other day because Wiggle was out of stock and they were the same price, or near enough. The idea of buying a bike from there would make me quite uncomfortable, although I had a decent chat with a mechanic at Spitalfields, who seemed to know his stuff. Going in there for advice is a total waste of time - better to go on a forum!

Like Eurotrash, I had bad experiences with Evans about 30 years ago - so much so that I have never been back. Those people I have spoken too since then have pretty much all been dissatisfied with the service they have received from Evans, most recently a friend who bought a bike a few weeks ago. Before the bike was delivered he told me he had ordered a bike from Evans and it was being delivered the following week. It was meant to be set up for him - normal and, in his case, a necessity as he is a first time cyclist. No, it arrived still in its box. He had some trouble persuading them to do something about it. The 'something' was a free service which consisted of setting up the bike as it should been in the first place plus a £20 voucher. It seems nothing much has changed over the years. At least my friend is now happily cycling.

Fireworks fail in San Diego (Travis Cass/Atlantic Wire)
Ron Burgundy would've had a field day with this story.
A Fourth of July fireworks show in San Diego lasted just 15 seconds on Wednesday, when what organizers called "a technical glitch" caused all of the fireworks to go off at the same time.
According to Garden State Fireworks, a signal that was sent to the barges to "set the timing" of the fireworks caused "the entire show to be launched in about 15 seconds."
The "Big Bay Boom," as it was billed, quickly became a Big Bay Bust.
[Slideshow: Fourth of July fireworks]
"Anyone know if that was on purpose?" Josh Damigo wrote on Twitter. "It sure seems like something went wrong!"
"Was that it?" Jennifer Boyd tweeted.
Adding to the confusion, music that was supposed to be synchronized with the display played on in the darkness.
"There was "Proud to be an American," "Born in the USA," some Taylor Swift songs and lots of music with "America" in them," Teagan Hamblin told CNN.Read More »from San Diego fireworks fail: Fourth of July display accidentally launches all at once

Turning the Tables of White-European-Male-Privilege: 'Our' Tables, 'Their' Tables, and New Tables
[Read more of this blog conversation in response to the Sojourners article "http://www.sojo.net/index.cfm?action=magazine.article&iss
I recently viewed an episode of Gangland on The History Channel. This particular show, which documents the rise of the younger members of the Imperial Klan of America (or KKK), really roused my anger. I thought, "How could people be so ignorant and foolish?" Can't they just accept that the United States has always been an ethnically, religiously, and ideologically diverse country?
I've been told that I am obviously not a Christian because I watch movies. Because I believe women can be pastors. Because I don't take Mass in a Catholic church. Because I've read Brian McLaren and N.T. Wright. Because I voted for Obama. Because I am not a Calvinist.

2006 Pontiac G6 Q&A
2006 Pontiac G6 Question: Why does air still blow through my vents when the car is turned off?
When I remove the keys & the car is no longer running sometimes the car will still blow air through the vents, not continuously but off & on. - rbates
Answer 1
GM has added relays to the blower motors of some models to prevent a mildew smell. The fan will blow for 3-5 minutes to dry the evaporator core when you shut the car off. It is normal. - Chevy Power

Patrick Stewart & Ian McKellen Set To Co-Star In Two Broadway Plays Later This Year
As refined thespians and Knights of the Realm, Patrick Stewart & Ian McKellen are no strangers to the Broadway stage. This fall Picard & Magneto (or Professor X & Gandalf, if you prefer) are set to co-star in two separate plays. First, they will be reprising their roles in the critically acclaimed Samuel Becket play Waiting for Godot, which originally played in 2009 to sold out audiences at London's West End. Next, they will be in a limited engagement run of Harold Pinter's No Man's Land.
The Master Of Subterfuge Strikes Again. J.J. Abrams "IS" Set To Direct Next Star Wars Film. Ewoks and Jar-Jar Rejoice.
Okay, so this is the second article I've written in so many months about that other "star" franchise. Let me set the record straight, I dig Star Wars too. In fact, I love Empire... both the Queensryche album and the Star Wars movie. So, when the news came through the tubes today that J.J. "will" direct the Episode VII, I got kinda excited. I was hoping for Joss Whedon, but what's a brother gonna do?

Happy 93rd Birthday To DeForest Kelley, A True Southern Gentleman
Today we'd like to celebrate the birthday of our favorite country doctor, black hat cowboy, and consummate actor DeForest Kelley. De would have been 93 years-young today and the Trek universe hasn't been the same since his untimely passing in 1999. De started his career in Hollywood with a role in the film noir classic Fear in the Night which starred Paul Kelly & Ann Doran. Shortly after that role, De served his country during World War II in the First Motion Picture Unit, making propaganda & training films for the US Armed Forces. During his time with FMPU, De was spotted by a paramount talent scout and the rest, as they say, is history.
1965 Interview With Jeffrey Hunter, Star Trek's Original Captain Pike
I have a few idiosyncrasies as a Trek fan and my choice for favorite Captain is definitely one of them. Sure, I dig Kirk, Picard, & the rest of the gang, but my fav has to be Captain Pike. Of course, you probably guessed it by my nom de plum. The original Christopher Pike was played by the late great Jeffrey Hunter and TrekWeb just recently reprinted excerpts from an interview featuring the "first" captain of the Enterprise. The original interview was conducted in 1965 and Jeffrey explains the premise of a scifi pilot that he's filming and how excited he is to be a part of it.
"We run into pre-historic worlds, contemporary societies and civilizations far more developed than our own" Hunter told the interviewer "It's a great format because writers have a free hand - they can have us land on a monster infested planet, or deal in human relations involving the large number of people who live in this gigantic ship."CONTINUE READING >>

I'll Take Star Trek for $600: Trek Stars On Game Shows
If there's one thing I love almost as much as Star Trek (besides The Rockford Files), it's Match Game. It could be any incarnation, 73, 74, 78, PM, it doesn't matter. Just give me a YouTube playlist and lots of Charles Nelson Reilly. I hear he won the Tour de France with two flat tires and a missing chain...but I digress. Recently watching an episode (or six) of Match Game, I got to thinking... Surely there are episodes of Match Game and other game shows chock full o'Trek stars. And, since we live in the future, I was able to fire up the Googles and find several episodes for all you Vulcans and Andorians alike. So, in my best Gene Rayburn, "There are so many Trek stars in these game shows [long pause] that you'll have to [BLANK]." As an added note, even though the title of this article sounds like a question from Jeopardy, this list is Alex Trebek-less. That's on principle... Enjoy.

Star Trek Into Darkness's Alice At CES & The Inner Workings Of Bad Robot
Two Star Trek Into Darkness videos have hit the web and showcase the upcoming film in different ways. First up is a video from the Qualcomm keynote address from CES in Las Vegas. CES is currently running all over Vegas with hundreds-of-thousands in attendance and Qualcomm has taken over as keynote presenter from Microsoft. The big Q had an awkward presentation that showcase everything from over-the-top actors, a fully electric Rolls Royce and Maroon 5. Sandwiched in there somewhere, was a brief appearance by Alice Eve (Dr. Carol Marcus), featuring a new augmented reality app for Star Trek: Into Darkness. You can see the video below, complete with awkward pauses and wandering teleprompter eyes.

Best Choices in VancouverPosted on 12 / 28 / 2013
I like to go to Choices because their selection is different from the one at Whole Foods.
The only thing I don't like is their deli section though.
This location is great, close the Choices Gluten Free bakery, and a vegan raw restaurant.
It is the largest of the Choices I go to and has tons of vegan options, organic veggies, and more.
