Quantum of Solace - Grading & Discussion

Re: Quantum of Solace - Grading & Discussion
I loved it. It wasn't as good as Casino Royale but it was a good thematic growth from it. However, this film curiously felt like part one of two with the Quantum group brought up at the end and Bond being told he would be needed by M.
First off, the best part of the film was the interrogation with Mr. White. White was amazing and creepy in the scene. And then when Mitchell turned out to be one of White's men... wow!
The next twenty minutes were probably the weakest aspect of the film as we are given a large amount of chase sequences that aren't all that well direct. However, Forester learns as the film goes on. I saw some reviews that the film did not show how Bond felt after Vesper's death. Really? That man had only one feeling after it: rage. He was always borderline but Vesper's death threw him over the edge. His armor is back up and the only emotion he is willing to show is intense anger.
That said, they could've cut out a few action sequences and given us some more Bond scenes where he is discussing things with M. Because when we do get those scenes they're spectacular. When Bond finds Fields M utters one of the two best lines in the film, "You show them your charm, Bond, and then this is what happens to them."
Domenic Greene was a much better villain that Le Chiffre. His large eyes were eerie as all hell and that nasal voice reminded me of Ben's from LOST which is never a bad thing. It is also Greene who utters the other great line of the film after he hears the gunshot: "Sounds like you lost another one." Bond's reaction is the turning point for him in the film. He would rather die with the girl (whose name just escaped me) than extract vengeance on Greene.
Also in that scene we see 007 almost kill the girl and himself so they don't have to be burned alive. I thought that was a rather novel and ballsy notion.
The main problem I had with the story comes in at the end with Vesper's boyfriend who is apparently working for Quantum. It's all rather unclear and rushed here. They could've very easily ironed that out and I'm unsure why they didn't.
That said, once he gets out (and declines to kill the boyfriend) and talks to M the movie once again reasserts itself. The last image of the necklace is a powerful one and a good one to end the movie on.
In the end I'd have liked a little more Bond discussions and a few less action sequences but the movie was a great one and I'll be very happy to own it on DVD. One thing this movie assures us is that Daniel Craig IS James Bond.
We've met before, haven't we?

Our parents and community members had a Seusstacular time at our Parent Advisory Council Meeting on March 2, 2015. The meeting was filled with activities to celebrate Dr. Seuss' Birthday! After a read-aloud of Bartholomew and the Oobleck, we used corn starch and water to make our very own green Oobleck! The parents were amazed that it is not a liquid nor is it a solid – its Oobleck! We created our own pillows and learned another great reading strategy that focuses the child on the sound spelling before reading the word. Participants were encouraged to take a look at the reading adoption materials on display at the Board Office and at each school site. The next meeting is April 13, 2015 at the Phoenix Center in Welch.
On March 11, Mount View and River View High School students had an opportunity to learn more about Chinese culture, history, and the language from two teachers from China who currently work in WV schools teaching Chinese. The presentation comes to us in the light of offering Chinese I in both high schools next year online, taught by a teacher from China. Chinese is the 4th most frequently spoken language in the United States, and our students will have a great opportunity to learn this increasingly popular language.

James Rodriguez to be unveiled by Real Madrid on Tuesday, join club for U.S. tour
Jul 22, 2014, 12:10 AM EDT
The official confirmation is still pending, but by this time tomorrow, James Rodríguez will be a Real Madrid player.
According to reports out of Spain, the Colombian international will complete his move from AS Monaco on Tuesday, with an official unveiling scheduled to take place mid-day Madrid-time at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The final price is expect to be $107 million (€80 million), nearly doubling the fee Monaco paid last year ($58 million) to purchase the Columbian midfielder from Porto. Only Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Luis Suárez have garnered larger transfer fees in world soccer history .
Real plan to unveil the Colombia international at the Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday. Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez will delay their trip to the USA, where the first team squad set off for on Monday ahead of a pre-season tour. James will join up with the squad, together with Raphael Varane and Karim Benzema, on 1 August.
… James will wear the number 10 shirt which was last worn by Mesut Özil.
The number may hint at where Rodríguez is likely to play: in support of striker Karim Benzema; between Ronaldo and Bale. With talents like Ángel Di María and Isco in the team, Rodríguez's adaptation from Ligue 1 will determine how quickly the 23-year-old will assume that role.
Given his success at Brazil 2014, Rodríguez could assimilation quickly to life with the European Champions. In five games at the World Cup, Rodríguez scored six goals and assisted two others, winning the tournament's Golden Boot despite leaving the tournament at the quarterfinal stage.
Last year in France, Rodríguez led Ligue 1 in assists, setting up 12 goals to earn a place in the league's Team of the Year. With nine goals, Rodríguez finished second on Monaco in scoring, his goals helping offset the mid-season loss of countryman Radamel Falcão.

Weren't RM half a billion dollars in debt? Where in the great blue hell are the getting the money for this, let alone Suarez?
- jucam1 - Jul 22, 2014 at 8:06 AM
Suarez went to Barca…. And RM is the richest club in the world, they always find the money. Congratulations Hames!!
- Damidwesterner - Jul 22, 2014 at 7:08 PM
ESPN said over the weekend that RM has spent around $150M in transfer fees so far. I wonder how this is playing in the Financial Fair Play arena….. I know Forbes said they're worth $3.48B, but that's not all liquid assets cash on hand.

2010 Nissan 370Z NISMO NISMO 2dr Coupe (3.7L 6cyl 6M)
This is my 3rd Z and the BEST one. I had a 1991 and a 1994 300z but this is a awesome improvement. I look forward to driving it everyday. It is very fast and very good looking car. Handles well and it can move when you want to. I highly recomended it!
keyless entry and the ignition are a plus but I love the porshe style body of the NIZMO. It is a beauty !
The blind stop on the sides and it needs a better music system upgrade.
2010 Nismo Z. Exceptional build quality, extremely rigid chassis, feels like it will grip onto a corner forever. Make sure to check your front springs after delivery! Z's are being sold with spring spacers still installed (helps keep the bumper off the groud during shipment). Road noise is no issue for me, wish the exhaust and engine note were a bit more noticeable.
Smooth transmission, firm suspension, neutral handling, good cargo space, beautiful Japanese styling, bi xenon headlights, great cluster and gauge display, nice storage compartments for a sports car. Somewhat limited supply and not to many 370's on the road today.
It would be nice to have the home link/auto dimming mirror/built in compass. More aggressive exhaust system, Non staggered wheel/tire setup to allow rotating.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- Marcus Woods had a 73-yard punt return for
a touchdown to lead a big day for Missouri's special teams, and
also scored on a 1-yard run in a 52-21 victory over Troy on
The Tigers (2-1) also blocked a punt to help snap a four-game
losing streak at home, against the team that knocked the Tigers out
of the rankings for good last season in Week 2. Troy (1-2) overcame
a 14-point deficit to win last year, deflating the hopes of a team
coming off a bowl season and rated a contender in the Big 12 North
before going 5-6.
Missouri didn't stumble in the rematch, putting the game away
with a 25-point third quarter that featured both of Woods' scores.
The point total was the school's most since a 52-20 victory over
Arkansas State in the 2004 opener.
Brad Smith had a 13-yard run, scored on a conversion run after
that touchdown and threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Brad Ekwerekwu
to help the Tigers rebound from a 45-35 loss at home last week to
New Mexico. Smith had entered the game third in the nation in total
offense at 412.5 yards per game, although he committed two costly
turnovers last week.
This time he had no turnovers. Smith was 23-of-33 for 183 yards
and Tony Temple (80), Smith (79) and Woods (59) combined for 218
yards rushing on 32 carries.
A punt blocked by Quincy Wade in the first quarter led to the
first of Adam Crossett's three field goals. Smith ran it in one
play after Xzavie Jackson's fumble recovery in the third quarter.
Temple got Missouri's first score on a 59-yard run in the first
quarter and finished with 80 yards on eight carries.
Carl Meadows threw for one touchdown and ran for a second for
Troy, which has lost its last two games and is 6-22 on the road
since moving to Division I. Meadows was 16-for-28 for 199 yards
before getting lifted late in the third quarter.

Destiny: Bungie's Rumored Rocky Final Year to Release
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
If this is true, it seems that Bungie owes Destiny purchasers a lot in the form of free updates. Of course, that's not gong to happen because they can charge for the cut content and people will buy i even though there is no reason why anyone should pay for content that was originally intended for launch. If the game wasn't ready, they shouldn't have released it.

[Column] General: Can We Make Quests Matter Again?
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
I would like MMO devs to stop making "tasks" and start making "quests", because ultimately most quests written into the game are menial chores. Make fewer quests that have longer arcs with a greater reward at the end, and you've solved half the problem at least. With this system you don't have a log filled with things to do, but rather you have a quest to complete, an adventure to experience etc.Writers could then focus on making 60 quests really good rather than having 100 rote tasks with minor stories. There's still the whole "players running out of content" problem but at least you know the content they played was good, and if you allow for certain dynamic changes to occur with the quest's story, there's replayability right there.
Do you think Wildstar will gather the hatred that ESO has?
General Discussion « WildStar
Probably not because a lot of the ESO hate manifested in some of the things ZoS did before launch. To my knowledge, Carbine hasn't done anything to upset the fans, so I think we'll be seeing a lot less hate.

Would you play on a first person only cyrodiil campaign? (Poll)
General Discussion « Elder Scrolls Online
I don't think that would work. There is too much visual information necessary to win for first person to be enforced, even if everyone else follows the same rules. I really like playing in the first person perspective, but even in PvE the game becomes unnecessarily hard because the game is designed to be played in third person. It's a little ironic how in the sp games, playing in third person feels like a handicap because the game is designed around first person, but its the exact opposite in the MMO.

The only problem is that ESO hasn't technically launched yet. The only people playing are those who pre-ordered directly from Zenimax, everyone else is waiting for Tuesday. I'd wait until then to see how well everything works out.
Who likes the UI?
General Discussion « Elder Scrolls Online
I like how it functions and the minimalist style, but aesthetically I don't like the "paint splotches" or whatever its supposed to be. I'd have rather it to graphically resemble oblivion, everything is presented in a journal of sorts and all of the icons/writing have a sketched feel to them.
"Anything that can cause you death in the future...we will remove it" WTF??
General Discussion « Landmark
It seems like they're talking about to what extent the players can mess with one another, but there will be npc monsters and fall damage that can kill you, so I think your thread title is a bit misleading. AFAIK Landmark won't have PvP elements, so I don't see why they would allow players to negatively affect one another. More than anything it would be a minor hindrance used only by people who want to grief, your claims can't be damaged by others, and there's no way that SOE would include a player loot system, so it would just be killing for the sake of killing. I can't help but feel that this system would not end well.
Any experts on how patents work? Because I think $OE is trying to pull a fast one on the MMO market.
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
AFAIK you can patent specific code and programs, like their name generator, but you can't patent an idea. I could include a name generator in my game as long as I wrote it or someone on my team wrote it. I don't it would be very possible/ ethical to patent a piece of gameplay like "dynamic buffing system". If I wholesale ripped it from their game then I would expect some sort of legal action, but using it as a template and making your own or even just creating your own clone is perfectly legal.

[Column] Elder Scrolls Online: Preorders - Testing Community Loyalty?
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
Originally posted by CommoX
But the thing is they didn't give us what we wanted per-say. Sure many of us on the Bethesda forums(including me) as for no faction locks and imperials because it just seemed unnecessary to not include the two. And to ZOS's credit they did something about, but no one asked for them to monetize it, no figured if they did listen monetization would be an option. Because the decision to include them would be so trivial and easy none of us imagined they would make us pay extra. In a sense, we asked for something, they listened, but didn't consider this might just be a gesture of good will. What the author is getting at is spot on, they're considering things purely from a business perspective rather than a community one, and that's going to bit them in the ass because for any game to thrive, especially an MMO, it needs a loyal community, but apparently ZOS does not see that, only dollar signs. And I don't blame the development team, I doubt they had anything to do with this and may be just as upset, its just unfortunate that they're work might potentially suffer because their marketing division is full of dicks.
So how big is it???
General Discussion « Elder Scrolls Online
The world itself will launch with most of each province filled out. ZOS intentionally left some areas of them empty so they could add them later in updates or expansions. That being said, the launch size is quite big, I would guess that 60%-70% of Tamriel is available to play. What I want to know is whether most of not all of Tamriel is seamless, because the size of the world will be severely downplayed if you have to go to a loading screen between each zone. Above all Tamreil needs to feel like a world and not a connection of lobbies.
EQNext is boring.
General Discussion « EverQuest Next
Because its not everquest next dumbass, its landmark. They're two different games, Next is the MMO, Landmark is the pseudo-mmo, build what you want game. And on top of that, landmark is in alpha, which means your only seeing a fraction of the final product.

When it rains, it pours. While I've never been able to wrap my head around what that phrase really means, the last few weeks in the world of technology seem to warrant a whole new idiom – when it rains, it pours, turns into a cloudburst and then rages on as a flash flood. Look at the awesome devices that have come out in a very short span of time – Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Samsung Gear, Sony Xperia Z1, iPhone 5C and S, Gionee Elife E6, Micromax Canvas Turbo, Lenovo P780, Lumia 1020/2520/1520/1320 and a deluge of others. And just as we thought things would wind down and give each of us a little time to catch our breath, out comes Apple with a surge of new products. There's no time to reflect on why companies are continuing this barrage of tech goodness; all we can do is quickly reflect on what has come out hot and fresh from the ovens of the Cupertino bakery.
The Mini grows up
It continues with a 7.9-inch screen, but the resolution is now 2048x1536 with a staggeringly high pixel density of 324. This little slice of Apple pie now runs on the A7 chipset and uses the M7 motion sensor, the same as the new iPad Air and the iPhone 5S. Somewhat disappointingly (but not surprisingly), the Mini design and form factor remains the same but it has gained a little weight and also comes with a 128GB variant. Should you buy it? With its eye-popping display, size, build quality, new processor, battery life and app ecosystem, I have no hesitation in calling this the best, truly portable tablet your money can buy. If Apple doesn't screw up the pricing in India, this will become the de facto standard for all tablets. Having said that, the all new Lenovo Yoga tablet 8-inch (reviewed next week) may just be the game changer that makes almost every tablet maker go back to the drawing board.
Let the 'Air' come in
While the design cues are from the Mini, the screen remains the same at 9.7 inches with a 2048x1536 resolution as before. The Air also has the boosted -up performance of the A7 chip along with the M7 motion processor. Though why this would need a special motion processor is a mystery. How many times do you see people running with the iPad strapped on to their shorts? Maybe sometime in the future! This also has better front and back optics. The shocker is that there is no touch ID fingerprint sensor built into the home button, which is a startling omission. That would have set this apart and created a major Apple Army fan base. The fact that there is no Gold iPad is also a bit of a let-down. Should you buy it? If you've been a fan of the original iPad series, this may be an attractive upgrade, but for all others there isn't much. While the iPad in its latest iteration is quite a piece of engineering and design, it's still going to falter in front of its own Mini line-up as well as the bludgeoning blows from an 'on the move' competition. All you have to do is walk into a store that has both the new 'Pads' and your mind will be made up pretty quickly.
The Other New Beasts
The display is truly outstanding and razor sharp, battery life is incredible and prices are much lower, the base model starts at Rs 99,000. The 15-inch variant comes with a better processor and some more add-ons with a price base of Rs 1,49,000 Should you buy it? The 13-inch MacBook Pro is a no-brainer as it's priced relatively well, is built beautifully and has a display that will bring tears to your eyes (in a good way). This beats the 13-inch MacBook Air by a wide margin as you get a lot more for an extra 20K. The 15-incher is for those who need a bigger display and more horsepower, but I still see the 13-inch as the flagship from here on.
Apple has come in strong in the last month or so with its revamps and add-ons to its existing iPhones, iPads, MacBook Pros and more. The rumour mill says that we will get a new iWatch in January and a new Apple TV (the kind that you hang on a wall) in July. Could it happen? Well, looking at the current downpour of new devices, it seems very likely!

From the Genetic Archaeology blog:
Humanity's physical design flaws have long been apparent – we have a blind spot in our vision, for instance, and insufficient room for wisdom teeth – but do the imperfections extend to the genetic level?
In his new book, Inside the Human Genome, John Avise examines why – from the perspectives of biochemistry and molecular genetics – flaws exist in the biological world. He explores the many deficiencies of human DNA while recapping recent findings about the human genome.
Distinguished Professor of ecology & evolutionary biology at UC Irvine, Avise also makes the case that overwhelming scientific evidence of genomic defects provides a compelling counterargument to intelligent design.
Here, Avise discusses human imperfection, the importance of understanding our flaws, and why he believes theologians should embrace evolutionary science.
Our brains and bodies are both full of flaws. According to the pre-transhumanist worldview, the plan is just to sit around for the rest of eternity with these flaws, even as we colonize the Galaxy. According to the transhumanist worldview, the plan is to analyze these flaws, debate whether they are flaws or not, and consider fixing them if it seems practical and desirable. The latter makes sense, the former doesn't.
The New Scientist CultureLab blog has more info on the book.

Hamilton not really a shut down defencemen,he was a good offensive defencemen until Julian sucked the life out of him,the kid played with so much poise and confidence early in the season,but he probably made a few defensive mistakes,and Julian got on his case.now he just looks lost out there,he gets the puck at point and just gets rid of it as soon as possible,usually just dumps it behind the net,He looks afraid to try and make some kind of play.

49 year old man | Charlotte, NC, USA | Seeking women 35-50 within 20 miles
If the world were any smaller it would implode.
I've been in Charlotte for a little over 7 years, and spent the better part of those years working my booty off and being responsible. Now, I'm ready to have a life. Funny thing is I kindasorta forgot how to have one. On the whole I think Charlotte's alright (don't love it, don't hate it), but would enjoy it a lot more if I could find the right someone to explore it with. I like my job, make a decent living, and have a little extra time on my hands. I have some cool friends, too. However, they're all married or have significant others, which means I don't get to see them much. Hence, my social options are somewhat limited. I have no problem doing anything by myself, but even that has gotten boring. That's where you come in. You're smoky-noir-cool with an accessible heart. Smart, sexy, passionate, compassionate, fun, funny, spontaneous, literate, and laid back. You appreciate irony, absurdity and dark humor. I'm not athletically inclined, but I am a damn good sport, despite a mad lack of skills. I'm really not a huge sports fan either. However, I love going to the ballpark to see a baseball game. Being a native Detroiter and Michigan State University graduate, I take great pride when the Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons or Spartans do well. That's about the extent of my interest in sports. I'll apologize in advance about having no interest in football. Despite my aversion to all things athletic, I do get in 30 minutes of cardio 3-5 a week. I won't lie, I've got a little extra weight I need to lose. I've lost 50 lbs. since Thanksgiving of 2010, and working toward losing some more. I don't care about being buff, I just want to look and feel better. If you seek a man with abs of steel, might I suggest you look elsewhere. However, if you seek a quirky, fun and good-hearted guy with a head full of good ideas and a heart full of soul, then step up to the plate. :-) I have an adventurous taste in music, food and film, and hope you do too. I love… Music – playing it, writing it, listening to it and seeing it performed live. However, most of the artists/bands I'm interested in never play in Charlotte. It would be very cool to be with someone who would be excited about road-tripping to see a show. I'm equally as excited about the idea of a road-trip with no set destination or goal. My ideal mate would also be totally excited to stay up all night playing vinyl. I'm pretty eclectic as far as my musical taste goes, but I'm most passionate about altcountry/roots rock, power pop, garage rock, trip-hop, old school soul, vintage jazz, lounge and jump blues/swing. Movies – especially indie films, but I'm also a sucker for a good superhero movie or anything from the Judd Apotow school of thought. My favorite filmmakers include Jim Jarmusch, the Coen Brothers and Robert Rodriguez. TV – I watch too much for my own good, lol. I'm not a big fan of reality shows or procedurals. I'm more into character-driven/story-fueled shows like The Wire. My all-time faves include: Homicide: Life On The Street, The Wire, Gilmore Girls, The O.C., Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and pretty much most of the shows on HBO and FX. Reading – Don't get to read as much as I'd like to, but I enjoy getting wrapped up in a good book. My favorite writers are Nick Hornby and David Sedaris. Cooking – I've been a vegetarian since 1995, but I'm fairly low maintenance about it. Don't cook as much as I'd like, but having someone to cook for would be the perfect excuse to change all that. A good conversation – Really, this is what life is all about – meeting people, hearing stories, telling stories. This may be one of my favorite things in life, and something I would love more of.

Fun is where you make it. I'm more about the journey than the destination. I could have more fun on the way to doing something than the actual "something" that was planned.

Chang, P.-S.; (2010) Valproate and 4-methyloctanoic acid, an analogue of valproate, in animal models of epilepsy. Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
Valproic acid (VPA) is a commonly used drug for the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder and migraine, yet its mechanisms of action are unknown. The neuroprotective effect of VPA has been hypothesized to be secondary to inhibition of the cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA) pathway. Here, the result show that VPA (1mM) inhibited mossy fibre long-term potentiation induced (LTP) by application of high frequency stimulation in dentate gyrus. Furthermore, VPA (1mM) inhibited enhancement of mossy fibre responses induced by application of forskolin (50 μM), consistent with an effect on the PKA pathway. Using biochemical assays, it was further demonstrated that this was not due to a direct effect on PKA, but resulted from inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. The results further show using in vitro seizure models (Pentylenetetrazole model and low- Mg2+ model) that this mechanism cannot fully explain VPA's anti-seizure effect, but rather, by modifying synaptic plasticity, it may be more important for VPA's antiepileptogenic and neuroprotective action. VPA therefore has distinct mechanisms of action that contribute to its diverse biological activity. In hippocampi from epileptic rats (following pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus), but not in control tissue, VPA affects short-term plasticity, indicating that VPA may have specific effects in epileptic rather than control animals. Using in vitro seizure models (Pentylenetetrazole model and low-Mg2+ model) and an in vivo status epilepticus model (the perforant pathway stimulation model), 4- methyloctanoic acid is further established that it is a more potent antiepileptic drug than VPA and provides neuroprotective effects which are similar to VPA. Furthermore, 4- methyloctanoic acid (1mM) inhibited enhancement of mossy fibre responses induced by application of forskolin (50 μM), indicating that 4-methyloctanoic acid shares the same effect as VPA on modulation of PKA.

I am very curious about your results, and the data you will be collecting, so please continue posting!. I have a r1100gs with a not as smart ECU, but I think the gains will be on par with yours if I install the LC-1 for closed loop and a AIT offset (IICE air) for open loop.
You will be pleased with the results if you can handle the wiring. Yesterday I rode and collected several thousand data points at AFR=14.2 and AFR=13.8 which I will write up later today or tomorrow.
Both delivered excellent responsiveness, to the point that I would sound over-the-top if I described the improvement. Let me just say, the bike runs VERY smoothly now at both settings.
One of the differences between 14.2 and 13.8 is that the idle speed increased by 75 RPM (approx.) when I adjusted to 13.8. This gives one indication of how much the Boxer engine likes a Best Power type mixture.
The other thing that the data I will plot shows is that the Motronic can't tell there's a programmable O2 sensor connected--this is good! It goes closed loop as it always did, BUT, at a richer Closed Loop mixture.
If you try installing the LC-1 and a gauge, there are the following connections to make:
Key-On 12V: Find a power wire that is only on when the key is on. There are two/three wires to connect.
Low Impedance Ground: At the Battery Negative. There are four/five wires to connect.
Motronic O2 inputs: Black for signal, Grey for ground (still deciding what to do with the Grey wire), two White wires for the O2 heater. Heater wires need to be connected to the old O2 sensor or a resistor. I am connected to the old O2 but will replace with a 10 Ohm resistor (approx.).
Other misc. connections: Led, Switch, gauge.
The layout will be the hardest part, figuring out what to put where. When I have a final opinion on how best to connect the Motronic Sensor-Ground-Input (grey wire), I will post that.

There is a lot of truth in what you say. BUT for a touring bike, or adventure bike they rock, no bunching on a KLR or GS. As for storing them...well they breathe so well I wear them until I camp or get to the hotel, although they and my jacket do fit rolled up in a Givi E45.
So far....no signs of wear anywear. Been to Alaska and Inuvit, thailand and VietNam, with NorthFace goretex zip pants over them they are plenty warm, if it gets to 35 degrees I had fleece longjohns underneath.
Stylish, no, and I see how they might not be suited to a sportbike.

Kevlar Mesh II owner, 3 years with the suit, and had a chance to "field test" it yesterday with a get-off at 45-50mph that had my left leg under the bike:
Upper body: not a bruise,scratch, nothing. I mostly slid on my left arm and side. The jacket took quite a bit of damage, which it is supposed to, but, again, not a bruise or scratch on me.
Lower body: I have a bump on my knee and tiny bit of rash on that bump, largely caused by the abrasion of the pants on my knee? I was not wearing jeans or pants under the overpants. However, the pain of the knee (not much at all but tender to the touch) has me thinking that the knee armor didn't cover my knee and I slammed the knee down on the pavement.
I will send the kit to MP today or Monday and ask for a few modifications:
Reflective material on the sleeves
Send the kit in with some motocross knee-shin guards and have them sewn in. Or at a minimum tweak the positioning of the stock pads so they do their job better.
Better position of the hip pads. Pretty lucky I don't have a hip pointer, not sure how that happened.
I _almost_ rode yesterday without the pants, almost choosing jeans instead. If I had made that choice I would be in a world of hurt right now. I ride bicycles and I've lost infinitely more skin in bike crashes than I have with this. I've had worse failing to unclip at a light. My point is that I have a lot of experience dealing with road rash and, as a friend said last night, if I had road rash all down my leg and he offered me $1k to take it away, I would pay it in heart beat. That's how I look at the price of riding gear.
That said, I made the choice to ride with the pants because it's so comfortable, MUCH more than an Aerostitch (had one for 12 years). My kit was bulky too and I sent it back a couple times to have it altered. It's gotten better and, yes, I don't care for the bulky fit of the pants, especially in the ass. I think I look good (if I must say so) from the front but like J-Lo if I turn to the side. Oh well. Pair of comfortable pants under the overpants and a cable lock. Problem fixed.
Sometimes looking like a dork off the bike is just the cost of doing business. Business was good yesterday but could have been a lot more expensive.

Anybody figure out the "Air Mesh" Kevlar Street Jeans? Are these "Air Mesh" on the front and then the "Streach Kevlar" for the whole of the back sides of the jeans ... top to bottom?
Is this "new" ... ? Seems like a good idea to me ...
Anybody seen these yet?
My theory is ... in the future everything will double as an iPod Dock.

If I sound like I am attacking motoport I am truely not, but I just do not seem to get it. A lot of pants would have protected you at those speeds. Many mass produced pants would have had their armor stay in place as well, and they are by no means custom fitted. Would they have been repairable? Probably not, but that is why we have insurance. Most companies will cover the cost of replacing gear.

I can understand how they would have poor fit for a sport bike. The Air Mesh is the stiffest thing I have ever seen. However, for a dual sport rider that needs to keep cool at 10MPH in the dirt and have protection at 80MPH on the freeway, I don't think they can be beat.
Preventing abrasion is the key factor I look for. Bones heal, knees can be replaced. Skin, on the other hand, is years of pure pain. If not forever.
I like the "Air Mesh" Kevlar Street Jeans. Monday, I am going to order a set. I hope they will work like a more protective set of MX pants. Also going to order a set of Air Mesh pants as over pants. For the long rides.
I just need to grow a bigger booty to fit into them.

The above poster crashed with his leg leg under the bike. How would you design clothing to protect in that instance?
I have a set of these pants, and the armor pockets will be adjusted. Every person is different. This clothing is still better as-is than the two other sets of mass-produced pants I own. I've had two bounce tests (with a little assistance) and I know a little where-of I speak.
I would not suggest this pant for a sportbike. Perhaps the one piece siut they make would be better. The police pant would be better, IMHO.

1) I do not even need to infer from the text that the armor did not stay in place because he said "has me thinking that the knee armor didn't cover my knee and I slammed the knee down on the pavement." Also he said he wants motoport to improve the positioning of the armor so it would do its job better, that is all I was commenting on.
2) I have seen the results when zippers and seams fail from personal experience.
3) I know what road rash feels like. I know what poor gear feels like in a crash, and I have a pretty good idea of how well something will protect me in a crash. My 2003 Honda VFR was totalled as a result of this crash.
Any more skepticism about my experience?
I will repeat, I think I have been pretty fair here. I realize I am the odd guy out because motoport is highly regarded on here, but be careful what bluffs you try calling. I am not quesitoning anybody elses qualifications or motives here, please don't question mine.

Ok, You have experience. I was not calling a bluff, but asking a question so I'd know where you are coming from. When I read your original post I did not see where you've contacted Wayne. Have you done so? I can tell you're not happy with the fit of the pant for your purpose. Is that correct? Is there action you can take to nake things work better for you? Alteration? Exchange them? Sell them and buy something else?
I don't think you can prevent a bruise or tender knee when the bike falls on your leg. Maybe you think you can. IIRC, the guy above said that maybe the armor could have been placed better - right?
Your comment was that Wayne needed to re-design the pant. They do offer to alter the placement of the armor. I don't know if they charge for that.
I have no financial interest in Motorport/Cycleport.
Sometimes things don't work out for everyone. I do know it's disappointing to buy something and not find satisfaction with that item.
I don't recall of a single instance of a wearer of this clothing stating they would have been better protected by something else. If there is something better, buy it.

I did talk to wayne and was interested in the police pant because it has stretch kevlar on the back, and thus would be much less bulky. I have also purchased a back pad from wayne to replace the one in my icon leather jacket, so do not get the wrong impression. I decided that I did not want to wait the 5 weeks it would have taken for the police pant, spend more money to ship another pant, and possibly lose out on my investment if they did not work for me.
Could we have figured something out if I had a bigger budget, plenty of patience, and a willingness to take a sizable risk? Yes. Will the Olympia Air Glide pants I purchased protect me as well as the kevlar air mesh? Probably not. I guess this is just a risk I am willing to take to avoid further stress from my motoport dilemma. I have never been so anxious/stressed making a purchase. I guess if the pants fit your needs it is worth the wait, but for me I am out $30 and back to square one. At this point I just decided to call it quits before I lose more money.

Like I said, I can understand your frustration. I would love a more flexible pant that vents and protects as well as the mesh kevlar.
I wish you all the best in your search to a pant that fits your needs!
Edit: A friend of mine threw down his FJR about a week ago. Roughly 45mph, IIRC. He was wearing mesh kevlar. Had a gimpy ankle and slightly tender shoulder.

In Defense
No affiliation of Moto Port.
Sorry to hear anyone got hurt regardless of what they were wearing.
Riding gear is like a deductible, you pay in advance for the best protection, and then hope for the best.
I have a Kevlar Mesh 3/4 jacket and pants. Wayne spent a Saturday morning with me giving me more information than I wanted to hear. I was able to drive away with the jacket, and he made pants for me. Bulky? A little at first, but now they feel like they are a part of my wardrobe. I don't know what he is advertising, but I own a '04 ZX-10 too, and I wouldn't even let this gear within 10' of that bike. I wear Alpinestars leathers with that bike. I would feel sorry for the pavement that the Moto Port suit hits. I wouldn't suggest that suit for any street bike, BUT, for my '02 BMW 1150 GS, well, this is what happened this weekend:
Left LA with Moto Port liners & Gerbing heated jacket/gloves
Ditched the heated jacket liner at Frazier Park
Ditched both Moto Port liners at Taft
Rode to Santa Margarita Lake for an overnighter in fully ventilated mesh, and Tri-Armour.
Granted, expensive, but awesomely versatile. No doubt that it would protect me if I was to hit the pavement. To argue about how protective it is? IT"S BETTER THAN 95% OF ANYTHING ELSE!
On a previous winter trip, I had Alpinestars race boots and rode 15 miles in solid ice up the Crest. Managed to crash on 1 1/2" of ice in the parking lot of Newcomb's Ranch. I broke my ankle, but is that Alpinestars fault? I think not.
Wayne is a sole proprietor type of guy, devoted to protecting riders and offering a great option to corporate efforts, personally.
Gee, I'm so sorry it doesn't make your ass look good!
Too many Aerostich guys I ride with admit that this is the shit. Works for me!

Hey guys,
Sorry, I haven't checked the thread. On Thursday I crashed at about 50mph, sliding on my left side with my left leg under a VStrom 1k. On Saturday I rode a bicycle for 60 miles in the mountains and on Sunday I rode my TE450 all day in the desert. I have a LOT of road rash experience of the 20-35mph lycra kind. I'm the guy in front of you at Starbucks who your kid points at says "Daddy, why does that man's legs look like mommy's but with all of those scars on them ." I am intimately familiar with what could have been and I'm sure I'd be typing this between bandage changes, painful scrubbings, etc. I think the gear did it's job.
Having looked at the gear and my one injury, I think what happened was:
Bike was leaned a bit to the left when I grabbed too much front brake. I went down hard on left knee, elbow and shoulder. My ankle then twisted in under the bike and the bike and I become one, with my left knee pinned under the bike but it was held up a bit (full weight not on the knee) by the bars, topcase, who knows. I think the bruise/abrasion on the knee cap was caused by that initial slam to the pavement. I have some bruising on the inside of my knee but no pain. Seriously, it's nothing. We all had worse as kids playing football on the pavement.
I didn't take pictures of the jacket but probably should have. Oh well. It was pretty torn up but I don't have a single scratch, bruise, nothing. I was a little sore the next day but nothing unexpected. I've sent the kit back to motoport for repair (insurance pays the tab). I've asked them to:

VIDEO: 'Dumb and Dumber's Jim Carrey & Jeff Daniels Relive Soap Opera Days on JIMMY FALLON
On last night's TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels stopped by to talk about the experience of working together on the phenomenon that is Dumb and Dumber To. Later, Jimmy shows a clip of Jacob's Patience, the Canadian soap opera on which he, Jim and Jeff appeared with some unusual-looking arms.
Check out clips from the appearance below!
The highly anticipated sequel DUMB AND DUMBER TO hits theaters on November 14th. The film stars Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, Rachel Melvin, Kathleen Turner, Brady Bluhm, Laurie Holden, Steve Tom and Rob Riggle. In the sequel, Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne embark on a road trip to find Harry's long-lost son.
Peter and Bobby Farrelly return to helm the DUMB AND DUMBER sequel, as well as rewrite the original script written by Sean Anders and John Morris. Oscar-winning HUNGER GAMES star Jennifer Lawrence has signed on for a small cameo in the upcoming sequel as the younger version of Kathleen Turner. THE WALKING DEAD's Laurie Holden, Turner, and Rob Riggle are also featured in the film.
The original buddy comedy was a box office hit, grossing $127,175,374 in the United States, and $247,275,374 worldwide, and topping the holiday season film gross. While initial reception towards the film was mixed, Dumb and Dumber has since obtained a cult following and has spawned a TV animated series, and a 2003 prequel.

The Hollywood couple - who raise six children together Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, five, and Knox and Vivienne, three, together - confirmed today (13.04.12) that Brad has popped the question to his partner of seven years and Angelina's father Jon Voight couldn't be happier for the pair.
He told US Weekly: ''I'm very happy for them.''
Brad and Angelina's engagement comes after it was revealed the pair may be about to work together for the first time since meeting on the set of 'Mr & Mrs Smith'.
Brad is in negotiations for a part in the Sir Ridley Scott-directed project, 'The Counsellor' with Angelina previously linked to a small role.
Filming is set to begin in the summer in Europe, and it would be a rare foray into the world of work for both Brad and Angelina, who rarely film movies at the same time.
Commenting on the possibility of them working together again, Brad said last year: ''We're not ones to repeat ourselves, but we'd like to, because right now, we're hopscotching with films so one can be with the kids and one is free to work.''

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – The superintendent of the Miller School District has resigned his post and a seat on the state high school activities board less than a month after a paternity suit was filed by a former student.
Circuit Judge Jon Erickson ordered Michael Ruth to take a paternity test.
Jacqueline Maria St. John filed a lawsuit in Hand County on Feb. 26. St. John said in an affidavit that she met Ruth when he was her superintendent at Miller High School, and the two began a sexual relationship after she graduated. She said Ruth denied being the father and refused testing.
St. John said she has medical expenses from the pregnancy and wants the court to determine past and future child support.
A message left for Ruth's attorney was not immediately returned.

Kongressbad (by Diana Pereira)
Keeping in line with the previous spot, this one is a favorite of local Diana for when the sun is out.

a1 Vanderbilt University
'You ask me what a Lit de justice is? I will tell you!' Thus exclaimed Louis-Adrien Le Paige, an eighteenth-century parlementaire who was excoriating the current spectacle of the king's appearance in person in the Grand-Chambre of the Parlement of Paris. Denied their ancient and customary rights of consultation and deliberation in important affairs of state, which in their view meant an active or participatory role in the legislative process, magistrates like Le Paige felt coerced in 1756 into the passive role of registering policies presented to them as faits accomplis. And thus also opens Professor Sarah Hanley's penetrating and revisionist study of this complex ceremony where monarch and magistrates met together in the legislative arena: the lit de justice. In a tour de force of painstaking scholarship Professor Hanley has convincingly proved that this ceremony, in which the king personally appeared in Parlement and sat on a specially decorated 'seat of justice', had evolved out of legend and myth. The lit de justice did not, as generations of parlementaires like Le Paige had claimed, emerge in the middle ages shortly after the creation of the court itself in the late thirteenth century. As Professor Hanley shows, the first such ceremony did not occur until much later, in the reign of Francis I in 1527. More importantly, she demonstrates that at its inception the lit de justice was not associated in any way with the adversarial scene depicted by Le Paige in 1756, with the king forcing his will on a recalcitrant court by making a personal appearance in the Grand-Chambre in order to force the registration of unpopular legislation.
* An earlier version of this paper was first presented at the November 1986 meeting of the Western Society for French history in Baltimore, Maryland. The author wishes to thank several individuals who have offered helpful suggestions and advice both on that occasion and since, especially Gerry Denault, Russell Major, Jonathan Powis, Nancy Roelker and, above all, Sarah Hanley.

The Monster in the Maze review – Dove's score is lively and direct
Barbican, London
Jonathan Dove and Alasdair Middleton's community opera was given a confident production by a mainly amateur cast under Simon Rattle and the LSO
"Smack!" sings the teenage chorus as Theseus attacks the Minotaur. "Ouf! Bang! Thwack!" Whatever that is in German is how the lines were heard when Jonathan Dove's latest community opera was premiered by several hundred Berlin musicians, amateur and professional, a fortnight ago. And later this week the Minotaur will be getting beaten up in French.
Alasdair Middleton's English libretto – often irreverent, sometimes moving – is to be translated into further languages, too. Most community operas can't aspire to such dissemination, but most don't have the weight of Simon Rattle and the co-commissioning Berlin Philharmonic, Aix-en-Provence festival and the London Symphony Orchestra behind them.Continue reading...
Classic Quadrophenia review – an unnecessary reinvention
Royal Albert Hall, London
There is simply too vast a disconnect between the Who's ode to working-class alienation and rebellion, and Pete Townshend's plush, lavish reworking
Having just turned 70, Pete Townshend has evidently been musing on his musical legacy. His current pet project is to create definitive orchestral scores of all of his major works, including Quadrophenia, the sprawling 1973 double-album rock opera by the Who that was to spawn both a feature film and a theatre production.
Townshend asked his partner, the composer and arranger Rachel Fuller, to compose the score, and the venture quickly snowballed. Released last month, Classic Quadrophenia features the 90-piece Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the 80 members of the London Oriana Choir, as does tonight's performance.Continue reading...
Orpheus in the Underworld review – cast and audience enjoy the romp
Iford Manor, Bradford-on-Avon
This is a piece that needs a nicely outrageous take, and in Jeff Clarke's clever and cheeky production, it gets just that
Iford is a tiny operatic heaven, so it feels like a contradiction in terms to make it the setting for the hell of Offenbach's operetta. But Orpheus in the Underworld also embraces the Greek gods' Olympian heights, so no worries, as the Australian soprano singing Eurydice might have said.
In second empire France, philandering Napoleon III was the original target, poking fun, too, at Gluck's opera Orfeo ed Euridice. This is a piece that needs a nicely outrageous take and, in Jeff Clarke's new Opera della Luna production for Iford Arts, it gets it. His translation takes the liberties satire demands: contemporary, clever, cheeky. And for the character who wrongfoots the audience at the outset, introducing herself as "Public Opinion" – David Pountney's ENO production styled her as Margaret Thatcher, and Scottish Opera had a Melanie Phillips – Clarke is more mischievous again, making her an arts council assessor, box-ticking with a vengeance, dictating that composer Orpheus abandon his violin concerto for opera. John Styx, Savile Row slimeball butler to Pluto, explains that he was consigned to hell for taking Greece into the euro.Continue reading...

GUANGZHOU, China, March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Medicine Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CHME) (the "Company"), a leading manufacturer, developer and distributor of Western pharmaceuticals, traditional Chinese medicines ("TCM"), and other health products in the People's Republic of China, today announced that the Company's Board of Directors authorized a voluntary withdrawal of the Company's application for listing its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.
On March 9, 2010, the Company announced its intention to list on Nasdaq in order to broaden its shareholder base, improve trading liquidity and raise the Company's profile in the investment community. On March 17, 2011, the Company notified Nasdaq of its intention to voluntarily withdraw its listing application and it received immediate confirmation of the acceptance of the withdrawal. The decision to withdraw at this time resulted from the inability of the Company to satisfy Nasdaq Listing Rule 5405(a)(1) regarding the $4.00 minimum bid price for initial listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The voluntary withdrawal does not preclude the Company from making an application for listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market in the future. The Company's common stock will continue to be listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, under the ticker "CHME".

Former JetBlue execs embrace business aviation
Business Jet Traveler » June 2008
Sunday, June 1, 2008 - 5:00am
A group of former JetBlue executives have launched an operation designed around the Embraer Phenom 100. The company, JetSuite, has ordered 50 of the very light jets with options for 50 more, and plans to lease the aircraft to customers. First deliveries are expected next April. The company has also applied for a Part 135 certificate and expects to offer charter services from bases in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. JetSuite president Alex Wilcox was a founding director of JetBlue Airways, a position he held from 1998 to 2004. He then served as president and COO of Kingfisher Airlines from 2004 to 2005.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Andy Warhol's famous work, the Campbell Soup Company produced four limited edition labels employing the vibrant colors so prevalent in his work.
Campbell's Tomato Soup was introduced in 1897, and the following year, Campbell's iconic line of condensed soups adopted the distinctive red and white label design now recognized everywhere.
Now, tomato is one of Campbell's top three selling flavors, out of 81 sold in 120 countries worldwide, according to Food Arts magazine.
Fifty years ago, when an upstart illustrator named Andy Warhol decided to make a name for himself as an artist by painting the tomato soup can and all the varieties in Campbell's line, the shock waves were major. ...

I like the people mover idea. Have that with cars (which would work with the movie theme) that are energy effecient (electric or something) and that would fit with the Tomorrowland and California theme.

Inflation expectations: It depends on how you ask
How high or low are the public's expectations for future inflation? It depends on how you ask the question, according to New York Fed research.
The closely-watched Michigan Survey of Consumers asks questions about "prices in general" to measure expected and perceived inflation.
But New York Fed researchers found survey questions that use the word 'prices' instead of 'inflation rate' "may bias expectations upwards."
Responses to questions about "prices in general," were significantly higher than responses for "the rate of inflation" when asking for expectations of the next 12 months, they found.
Why? Questions that used the word 'prices' "focused respondents relatively more on personal price experiences and elicited expectations that were more strongly correlate to the expected price increases for food and transportation," the researchers wrote.
