[[JokeCharacter in his head.]]]]-]->'''Rhomann Dey:''' Peter Jason Quill. He's also known as "Star-Lord."\\'''Garthan Saal:''' Who calls him that?\\'''Rhomann Dey''': Himself, mostly.-->-- ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''A character with a comically over-inflated image of himself. He thinks he's smarter than everyone else, [[CasanovaWannabe thinks]] he's a real ladies' man, thinks he's cool, [[ItsAllAboutMe thinks it's all about him]], but both his fellow characters and the audience know that it's all in his mind.Often occurs in conjunction with a ShowWithinAShow. If the TV Series runs long enough, the writers usually devote one episode to a BigEgoHiddenDepths examination of the character.Expect this guy to be a victim of {{Pride}}. Said characters often insult or look down on those who have far more to be proud of and who generally flaunt it less. When they are faced with such characters, whether in a competition or in a comparison of abilities, it tends to be humiliating, and might even be a much needed reality check. Also, don't expect these characters to handle [[CantTakeCriticism criticism]] (either of them or of the abilities that they're egotistical about) very well.If (s)he is the main character on a show, we're dealing with a species of UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist. If the ''writers'', not the character (though he can fit this trope, underscoring his [[TheScrappy unpopularity]]) think the character is amazing, we have the CreatorsPet.If the character is a nerd and unaware of it, he's an ExtravertedNerd. If he makes a big deal of how [[TheHero heroic]] and {{badass}} he is, but runs at the first sign of real danger, he's a MilesGloriosus. If he claims to be a genius, but is incredibly dim or just misinformed, he's the KnowNothingKnowItAll. If he thinks he's a brilliant artist but is actually dire, he's GiftedlyBad. If he claims to kick ass only to get his own ass constantly kicked, he's a BoisterousWeakling. Contrast InsufferableGenius (where he actually has the skill to back himself up) or AlmightyJanitor. Many a {{Narcissist}} and PointyHairedBoss is afflicted with this condition. EveryYearTheyFizzleOut and FakeUltimateHero, meanwhile, are when ''everyone else'' are the ones with a high opinion about the person in question. Often a LargeHam. In more serious works, he will often be the victim of BreakTheHaughty. The SmugSnake could be considered a [[FaceHeelTurn villainous variation]]. Might be a PaperTiger or even a DirtyCoward. The opposite of this trope is HeroicSelfDeprecation, where the hero actually does have many notable achievements, but doesn't believe or refuses to believe that they are loved by many, and mostly refer to themselves in a negative manner.Contrast with the JadedWashout, who knows only too well how pathetic he is. [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused with]] [[TheKirk the other kind of ego]].[[noreallife]]----!!Example subpages[[index]]* SmallNameBigEgo/AnimeAndManga* SmallNameBigEgo/{{Comics}}* SmallNameBigEgo/FanWorks* SmallNameBigEgo/{{Film}}* SmallNameBigEgo/{{Literature}}* SmallNameBigEgo/LiveActionTV* SmallNameBigEgo/{{Other}}* SmallNameBigEgo/ProfessionalWrestling* SmallNameBigEgo/VideoGames* SmallNameBigEgo/WebComics* SmallNameBigEgo/WebOriginal[[/index]][[foldercontrol]][[folder: Western Animation]]* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'':** [[JerkJock Brad]] who's practically a Creator/{{Disney}} equivalent of Dash.** The title character fell into this a lot, especially early on. Jake was quick to praise himself - only to fall flat on his face when things got tough. When [[LetsGetDangerous he shed the ego]], he'd be a force to be reckoned with.* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': In the episode "Broadcast Nuisance", the Warner siblings provide (admittedly poor) service to Dan Anchorman, host of a news show, who has been shown to be arrogant, rude, demanding, and egotistical. Being rude to the Warner siblings is very bad for your mental health. (The Warner siblings have been shown capable of being polite and apologizing -when treated accordingly.)* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'': Master Shake constantly refers to himself in ways that assume whoever he's talking to has heard of him and always believes everything should involve him in some way. He's also a KnowNothingKnowItAll who's clearly making it up as he goes along, and more clearly thinks he's getting away with it.* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': In the episode [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE25TheClockKing "The Clock King"]], Temple Fugate sincerely thinks that the guy who shares his seat at the subway after one year had to know his name, or that Counselor Hill knows his impending legal case simply because his law firm is handling it, or that he gave the AdviceBackfire on purpose. This is also the best way to sum up Riddler's world view in most ''Batman'' related media and the animated series is no exception. He claims to be a genius and even smarter than the "World's Greatest Detective" and will go to great lengths to prove it.* ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'': Gaston. His VillainSong suggests he might even be CompensatingForSomething, [[LampshadedDoubleEntendre If You Know What I Mean]].* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'': several characters from Nintendo games, like VideoGame/KidIcarus and VideoGame/MegaManClassic. Simon Belmont from ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' was depicted as a vain and arrogant "Ted Baxter"-like vampire hunter and rival to the main hero, Captain N. Hilariously, he even had the look down, [[YouDontLookLikeYou looking NOTHING AT ALL like the two canon versions of Simon.]] He dresses and prepares more like a jet-setting hiker than a vampire hunter.* ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'': Reggie Bullnerd.* ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'': Mung Daal often thinks that he's the greatest chef around. While his greatness is debatable, he does at least outstrip his rival Endive in actual commitment (Endive values dignity above all else, which leads to methods which seriously abrade Mung "It's not even edible if there's no love" Daal).* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':** Number 2. Downplayed in that he is very competent, most of the time, but tends to overestimate even that. More than anything though, he thinks he's funnier than he actually is.** Numbah 4 in a MirrorUniverse episode, when it's revealed that the BigBad is [[EvilTwin alternate version of himself.]]. Numbah 4 realizes that if his counterpart is a hypercompetent villain, then he must also be a DirtyCoward.* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': Appropriately-named Dash Baxter is a slight variation in that only the audience and the main characters see through his self-image, the rest of the characters viewing him exactly as he views himself.* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' brings another main (and title) character example. He does have [[LetsGetDangerous genuine competence lurking beneath the surface]], though.* WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}} is another main character who embodies this. Duckman's awareness of how pathetic he is varies from episode to episode (and sometimes from scene to scene). When he's not being this trope he's usually being a JadedWashout (with little middle ground in between).* ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'': Kuzco was this at the beginning having absolutely no doubt that everyone admires him. That turned out not so right.* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': Eddy.-->'''Eddy:''' I was born to fleece, Double D. Do you know who I think I am?\\'''Edd:''' Unfortunately, yes.** In TheMovie, it's revealed that [[spoiler:his behavior is all a JerkassFacade due to him believing that if he acted more like his brother (who is an even bigger {{Jerkass}}), he'd be more popular.]]* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'': Timmy became one after one too many cases of AcquiredSituationalNarcissism. Tad and Chad tend to play it straight.* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''** Brian Griffin spent years working on a novel entitled ''Faster Than The Speed of Love'' which turned out be a complete rip-off of the ''Film/IronEagle'' film series, even though Brian claimed he never saw any of them. Everyone who had heard of the book's plot mercilessly taunted Brian about it being a rip-off but he refused to acknowledge it. When the book did get published yet did not sell a single copy after being critically lambasted, the next day Brian read a rave review for a celebrity self-help book and thought self-help books were the reason the novel sold so terribly. He then decided to write a similar book out of spite; the book became popular and Brian slowly began raving "I have created a best selling PHENOMENON" until he was taken down on ''RealTimeWithBillMaher''. Brian is also egotistical when it comes to women. Brian always tries to act intelligent and suave to impress women so that he can easily have sex with them, but whenever they break up, Brian tends to blame the women he dates as the reason they broke up instead of admitting that his negative behavior was his own fault. One episode has Brian being confronted by every single woman he ever dated and they all point out how flawed he is, only for Brian to retort with flaws he sees in every woman he dated, saying [[NeverMyFault it's their fault their relationships with him went sour]].** Quahog Channel 5 news anchor Tom Tucker, who has earned multiple comparisons to Ron Burgundy (and not only due to his BadassMustache).--->"Do you know who I am? I'm Tom Tucker, dammit! I make more in an hour than you make in two hours!"* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'': Bloo as well as Duchess and Jackie Khones.* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':** Zapp Brannigan combined with a parody of TheAce. He is also a MilesGloriosus. Given his position in the global military, his case is more like Big Name, Bigger Ego.** Bender has a Big Ego constantly at odds with his Small Name, as most vividly seen in "A Pharaoh to Remember". Pointing the latter out is one of his biggest {{Berserk Button}}s.* ''WesternAnimation/TheGoodeFamily'': Dean.* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': Grunkle Stan. Please, ladies, control yourselves.* ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse''** Miss Turtle from the episode "Mickey vs. Shelby" thinks she's the best parent in the world, but she gets sucked into her own ego to realize that [[AbusiveParent she treats Shelby poorly]]. So she blames the person watching him.** Goofy became this when he got replace by Von Drake's automatic waitering system, thinking he can do more than be a waiter without any skills.* ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'', far more so than in the film version. This actually is a major element which [[StatusQuoIsGod preserves the status quo]]. Most notably, he is convinced that Dr. Claw is so terrified of him that MAD packs up and leaves as soon as Gadget is assigned to a case. This may be the main reason he canonically can't catch Dr. Claw, despite the number of times they've been physically close: Gadget ''cannot believe'' Dr. Claw would dare go near him, and thus cannot recognize him. To some extent, this is also why Inspector Gadget tends to not notice MAD agents trying to kill him or recognize the MAD logo.* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': ** The eponymous character is despised by his ''species'' due to the combination of this trope and TooDumbToLive.** All Irkens are this trope, as the Almighty Tallest demonstrate. Zim just takes it much farther because he single-handedly destroyed their invasion fleet once - yet thinks he behaved properly.* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'': Lucius.* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'': Johnny Bravo.* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'': Hubert "Dad" Test.* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': Peggy Hill. She's a loving mother and wife, but she thinks she's much smarter and more attractive than she is.* ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'': Dr. Jacques von Hämsterviel.* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck starting in the early 1950s.* ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'': Captain K'nuckles would be a good example of this combined with TheWoobie.* ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB'': Bessie Higgenbottom.* ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'': Principal Pixiefrog.* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeMe'': [[OccidentalOtaku Birch Small]] especially when it comes to her artworks. She shows off her own "manga art" to her manga idol Miyazaki [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign Lee]], which the idol claimed to like only to insult a different "local" comic also made by Birch, which prompts her to bitch him out and start insulting some of the very work of his she was praising earlier.* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':** [[ThirdPersonPerson The Great and Powerful Trixie]], who boasts of being capable of doing everything better than everyone. This bites her in the bum when her bluff is called and she's revealed as a liar, and then bites all of Ponyville in the bum when her career is destroyed as a result and [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E5MagicDuel she comes back]] wearing [[EvilCostumeSwitch a black cape]] and a [[AmplifierArtifact magic-amplifying]] ArtifactOfDoom with revenge in mind. She gets better.** [[FeatheredFiend Gilda, a bullying griffin]] who claims to be totally awesome and superior to the "lame-o" ponies. She ''doesn't'' get better, but at least [[TookALevelInKindness Takes A Level In Kindness]] and befriends Rainbow Dash and (begrudgingly) Pinkie Pie in ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E8TheLostTreasureOfGriffonstone The Lost Treasure Of Griffinstone]].''* ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'':** Cecil, a burglar who believes himself to be a criminal genius, to the point '''that he leaves handwritten signed notes declaring himself to be a criminal mastermind at the scenes of his crime'''.** King Julien is also a rather extreme example.* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': Mojo Jojo and Princess. Blossom has also been accused of this.* ''WesternAnimation/QuackPack'': Kent Powers was presumably based on the original Ted Baxter.* ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite'': Starlite the talking steed, who likes to introduce himself as "Starlite, the most magnificent horse in the world".* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'': Park Avenue, graffiti artist from "Under the hood".--> '''Park Avenue:''' Yes, I am the one who did it! I am the graffiti artist! I fill the world with knowledge! I paint the truth! I paint rebellion! I---> '''Benson''': I'm calling the cops.* ''WesternAnimation/RickySprocketShowbizBoy'': Kitten Kabootle and Mr. Fischburger.* ''Rubberdubbers'': Finbar the mighty shark who considers himself to be the most fearsome shark in the sea. Ar ar ar* ''WesternAnimation/RocketPower'': Otto Rocket. While he's a highly competent athlete with enough skill of a pro skater, he does tend to overestimate himself very often. The episode "Super Mcvarial 900" is a great example of that.* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': we're introduced to [[BlaxploitationParody Da Sam'rai]] in one episode: a flamboyant, rude, and aggressive poser who, to his credit, ''does'' manage to take down some MechaMooks with ConfusionFu and FightingDirty before calling out Jack. Jack demands they fight with bamboo and utterly schools him, so Da Sam'rai draws his sword and gets utterly schooled by Jacks' bamboo ''again''. To the man's credit, though, he ''does'' man up enough to shove Jack out of harm's way when Aku's minions show up, and gets acknowledged as having potential to be a real samurai for it:--> '''Jack:''' You have taken your first step to the true path of the samurai.* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sidekick}}'': Professor Pamplemoose.* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Kent Brockman is an intentional copy of Ted Baxter. In the episode where Marge stars in ''"AStreetCarNamedDesire"'' musical, the director, while competent, sees himself as this supreme director even though the only play he ever mentions directing was a school play. He prides himself on it though, by carrying the review around and quoting it.--->"Play enjoyed by ''all''!"* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'': Brainy Smurf will brag and moralize to his fellow Smurfs in invariably any situation, only for his advice to be dubious at best and completely wrong at worst. (In the animated series, when one of the Smurfs tires of him, he will be thrown out of the village ...) He believes his quotations (compiled in volumes usually titled "Quotations From Brainy Smurf") will get other Smurfs to see him as a great orator and with insightful wisdom, although the quotes are little more than nonsensical ramblings, or copied wisdom from one of his fellow Smurfs. He thinks of himself as a ''de facto'' second-in-command whenever Papa Smurf is gone or needs someone to reinforce his authority, but this authority is often better handled by other Smurfs.* ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM'': Antoine sees himself as a heroic, intelligent "and so very handsome" Freedom Fighter who can take Swatbots in their thousands. In reality he is a sniveling DirtyCoward that often acts as TheLoad. Sonic and Sally, though much more genuinely competent, frequently have IdiotBall moments due to their conflicting egos.* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'': ** Squidward aspires to be an artist, and thinks living next door to idiots like [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick while working as a cashier at [[BurgerFool the Krusty Krab]] is beneath him. He's not a very good musician, and all his paintings and sculptures seem to be of himself.** Sandy plays with this. She is actually the most intelligent and talented member of Bikini Bottom by far. However this does lead her to overestimate her skills at times and sometimes gets rather overcompetitive and arrogant when someone implies she is isn't the best at something.* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': Cartman though he displays a number of tropes at a number of different times. There are also several occasions where Cartman was incognito and openly tried to make his image look better if someone didn't say anything cool about him, [[WhatAnIdiot even if he had to blow his own cover to do so.]]* ''WesternAnimation/SquirrelBoy'': Kyle and Salty Mike.* ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'': Finn whilst a talented sniper, is nowhere near the ladies man he thinks he is.* ''WesternAnimation/SushiPack'': Tako considers himself to be a great artist worthy of the world's admiration, but his abstract paintings are less than admired by anyone, even his own teammates. One episode, in fact, had him chasing down the bad guy not because he stole all the art in the museum, but because he stole all the art in the museum except for Tako's paintings.!* ''WesternAnimation/TakAndThePowerOfJuju'': Lok.* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': Control Freak is actually fairly competent as villains go, but the Titans still don�t take him seriously. He wasn't even mentioned on the list of "villains to watch out for" the Titans East got when they were housesitting the tower!* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'': Plucky Duck, a character based on Daffy.* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'':** Cody is this on his flirting abilities, as well as Owen on his [[AnimalsHateHim wilderness skills]], and Courtney as part of her second-season JerkSue persona.** Chris and Justin on their own attractiveness. Though with Justin [[EvenTheGuysWantHim it seems to be justified]].** Ezekiel in ''World Tour'' is also one of these, thinking he's going all the way even when Gwen reminds him that he was voted out first last time.** Tyler, who thinks he is the greatest athlete around, but constantly proves to be possibly the worst.** Blaineley has a very high opinion about her TV host abilities that seems unwarranted considering the TDWT Aftermath's reveal she was fired from her old show.** Scott in ''Revenge of the Island'' is a SmugSnake who thinks he's a MagnificentBastard. Lampshaded late in the season when he thinks a trap he put up worked (it was actually [[HiddenDepths Zoey's]]) and he exclaims, "Hey! One of my traps actually worked!"** The sixth season brings us three more: Max thinks he's [[EvilerThanThou the most evil contestant]] in the show's history, but he's actually a HarmlessVillain. Secondly is [[JerkAss Amy]], who shows no skill in anything but [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]], but calls herself "perfection". Finally we have [[AscendedFan Topher]], the celebrity wannabe whose [[JustHereforGodzilla only goal for going on the show]] is to learn from/take over the role of the host.* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'': Henry Masterson, aka the Headmaster is very deliberately a parody of this trope. During the season two finale, Starscream builds a small army of clones of himself, each of whom represents an aspect of his personality and almost all of whom are [[MythologyGag references to the G1 Seekers]]. The Thundercracker homage, "Egomaniac Starscream", represents...well, it's in his name. Starscream has a pretty high opinion of himself, but at least he can back it up (to everyone except [[BigBad Megatron]]).* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': Dr. Venture. He is a slothful and incompetent "scientist" who has ridden his father's coattails his entire life. He often believe he is the life of the party and highly desirable even when no woman wants to have anything to do with him.[[/folder]]----

Thoughts on the St. Louis Rams and Seattle Seahawks following Seattle's 20-13 victory Sunday at CenturyLink Field: What it means: The Seahawks are heading into the playoffs as the fifth-seeded team in the NFC. They will face the winner of the Dallas-Washington game on the road in the wild-card round. This game against the Rams lost its meaning for seeding purposes when San Francisco defeated Arizona. But with Russell Wilson leading a 90-yard drive to the winning touchdown, Seattle moved into the playoffs with an 11-5 record. The 49ers won the NFC West title and will get a first-round bye as the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
Rapid Reaction: Seahawks 20, Rams 13

The Official Carmina Sizing Thread - Page 41post #601 of 12673/5/14 at 7:23ampost #602 of 12673/8/14 at 11:54pm
post #603 of 12673/9/14 at 3:41pmStill trying to figure out the sizing for Carmina, and more specifically for the Rain last. The in-store measurement says I'm 12D, and I wear CJ 348 in 11 (even though they were very tight for a while) and Gaziano & Girling TG73 in 11.5. I also have a Meermin New Rey Last in 11 that took a very long time to break in and sometimes can feel tight.

Should I go with 11.5 in Rain? I have a Carmian Simpson wholecut that is 11 and I'm sure it could have been 11.5 to be comfortable, it still hurts when wearing it.
Thank you.post #604 of 12673/9/14 at 5:47pm

Rain last is roomier and more forgiving than both the Simpson last and the C&J 348 last. I'd say that if you usually take a UK11, then you should stick with that rather than going up half a size.post #605 of 12673/9/14 at 5:57pmQuote:
What if I need a 11.5 in Simpson? Which I do need since 11 is really tight now. My forefoot is 5 inches wide.

I am planning to purchase a pair of Carmina Jumper Boot from Skoaktiebolaget, model 80184 in Oscar last, and I wish to know your opinion on sizing.
I had my feet measured professionally using a brannock device (in US sizes) and they are sized as follow:
Foot Length: L7.5 R7
Arch Length: L8 R9
Foot Width: D E
My feet were diagnosed to be very flat by a podiatrist and they roll in while walking. In addition, I fit well in width in a pair of Loake Design Sharp in UK7 (very slightly loose after breaking in, roomy at the toes), even though after about 15 wears, the right shoe folds and dig into the top of my big toe, where my toe meet my foot. I also fit well in a pair of Red Wing Beckman 9016 in UK 6 with thick socks.
Can the knowledgeable folks on style forum advice me the ideal size for these jumper boots for my feet? The gentleman from Skoaktiebolaget recommended UK7 for me, but I wish to have a second opinion before purchasing.
Thank you very much.post #607 of 12673/10/14 at 2:55am

How does Simpson compare to the 348 last? The 348 was snug for me but broke in fine so I'm wondering if i can fit into the same size in Carmina's Simpsonpost #609 of 12673/10/14 at 5:14pm

Hey bud,
The Simpson has a similar instep to the 348. But length is different.
I wear 7.5UK in the 348 (tetbury) and an 8UK in the Simpson last.post #610 of 12673/10/14 at 5:36pm

I thought I'd provide an update on the sizing of my size 8 Simpson last. I wear Allen Edmonds 5-last in size 9D but I think I'm slightly smaller than a full 9D - closer to a 9C.
The Simpson last feels perfect in width, and there's plenty of room in the toebox. The only issue is that the instep is less than I expected. On the first couple of wears my heel came out of the shoe a bit as I walked. But this is getting better on the 4-5th wears.post #613 of 12673/11/14 at 6:59am

Well, just got my first pair of carminas and I am blown away at their quality and construction. I picked up a pair of burgundy cap toes on the rain last from Steve at GFW (Ill get to how awesome he is in a sec). I wear a us7 in AEs on the 108 last (their Vernon shoe) so I went with a uk6.5 in the rain.

After wearing them for a bit around my house and analyzing the fit, I think they might be too big,specifically in the tongue area - I have a gap between the top my foot and the tongue of the shoe when ithe shoe is on and when I tie the shoe, I can tie the laces as tight as the shoe allows and the sides of the shoe where the lace eyelets are, touch each other and I still have room in that area (ie I can't lace them down any more). I think they call this having a low instep. On top of that, I've got a medium to high arched foot too lol. The length is good but my foot moves around a decent amount bc of this roomy "tongue area." The laces of my AEs seem to be higher up/closer to the ankle vs the carminas (if that makes any sense). Anyways, Has anyone experienced this? Should I size down and see how that works or is the rain last no good for me? I have plenty of room to size down so the length won't be an issue.
As for Steve, let's just say he is one of the best vendors I've dealt with, period. He is the first person I've really dealt with from these boards, so I don't have much experience here, but I'm an avid car nut that wrenches on his own cars so I've done business with hundreds of car vendors and Steve is one of the best!. His responses are quick, courteous, and friendly. In helping me analyze the fit, we exchanged text messages and pictures during the day, and now night lol. Another big plus is that he is here in the US so dealing with returns, size issues, etc is painless! You rock Steve!

Crossposting this from the shoe-care thread, since I'm not sure if this might be specific to the calfskin that Carmina uses.
I have an excellent pair of well-loved Carmina chelsea boots. They're great boots, but have developed this harsh pebbly texture on the leather as well as some small pits. I'm not sure what's caused these blemishes, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the winter (I've worn them in the salty winter sleet a few times).
Here are some photos; please ignore the discoloration - they're still a little wet.
I initially thought it was some sort of salt buildup, and have used saddle soap to clean the affected area. However, the pebbly texture still remains and I'm afraid to agitate the area more. I'm not sure if the leather there has gotten really weak and is about to tear or something, so I don't want to be overly-abrasive with it.. For the record, I use Saphir's products to condition/shine them.
Has anybody seen this happen before? Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!Return HomeBack to Forum: Classic Menswear

Amsterdam - Dutch police say they have arrested 76 Ajax supporters suspected of seeking a confrontation with Manchester United supporters the night before the clubs meet in the Europa League.
Police said Thursday the men were detained a day earlier under heightened security rules imposed by the Amsterdam mayor. Spokesperson Ad Smit said the men were found to have a pair of brass knuckles, tear gas, a club "and a large amount of narcotics."
They were held overnight and will face varying fines of up to €600 ($780).
Another 54 supporters of Belgian club Anderlecht, who were also thought to be seeking confrontation with United supporters, were detained and sent home. On Wednesday, 12 people people were arrested for "football-related incidents."

The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Ros-Lehtinen) for 5 minutes.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen
Madam Speaker, I would like to begin my remarks by commending all the citizens and young students in my congressional district and, indeed, throughout the country who have worked so hard to raise awareness about Joseph Kony and his brutal crimes. As we can see in this poster, there's Kony, and these are just a few of the photos of so many innocents who have been mutilated by Kony and his thugs.
Joseph Kony is a mass murderer, whose campaign of violence against innocent civilians spans decades. The predatory forces doing his bidding are known as the Lord's Resistance Army, or LRA, and they have perpetrated some of the worst human rights abuses of our time.
Under the direction of Kony, the LRA has murdered, raped, mutilated, and abducted tens of thousands of innocent people, many of whom are children. They target remote villages, butchering civilians, abducting women and children to serve as sex slaves and fighters. Kony's bloody reach now extends to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, and the newly formed Republic of South Sudan.
One measure that we could accomplish would be for the U.N. peacekeeping missions in the region to more effectively coordinate their actions and share information related to Kony and the LRA, because this is a threat that crosses many international borders.
I'd like to thank my colleague, Congressman Ed Royce, for introducing a new bill, H.R. 4077, which I proudly support. H.R. 4077 would authorize the Secretary of State to use the State Department's Rewards Program to gain intelligence and strengthen the capacity of those who are actively engaged in fighting transnational organized crime and also apply it to the search for Kony and the LRA.
This program has served as a valuable incentive for those with crucial information to come forward and help round up foreign nationals wanted for a range of brutal crimes and activities that threaten regional and global security and stability and U.S. national security interests. It will be an important tool in helping bring Kony and his circle of thugs, the Lord's Resistance Army, to justice.
I'd also like to thank Congressman Jim McGovern for introducing House Resolution 583, of which I am also a proud cosponsor. Mr. McGovern's resolution echoes current law and puts the House on record in strong support of U.S. efforts to counter the Lord's Resistance Army. It urges the President to work closely with Congress to address critical gaps in U.S. strategy and to enhance U.S. support for the regional measures already there to fight the Lord's Resistance Army.
As we have seen over the past 25 years, Kony's assault on innocent lives has no limits. Now is the time to help bring Joseph Kony and his fellow criminals to justice. As a Nation, let us assure that we have done all that we can to end this ongoing tragedy and hold this evil man accountable for all of his crimes.
I thank all of the young people throughout my district who have communicated through Twitter and Facebook and different modes of social media to express their outrage over Kony's evil deeds; but now, let's take action. Let's pass these bills.

If you aren't excited for the menu of Week 5 NFL games, check your pulse. It's the best slate of early-season games in years.
Between Chiefs/Titans, Dolphins/Ravens, Patriots/Bengals, Saints/Bears, Lions/Packers, Seahawks/Colts, Broncos/Cowboys and Texans/49ers, there shouldn't be a dull moment all day.
And while it's a difficult prospect to make predictions about each of these titanic matchups, I'm taking my best shot.
Here are my last-minute predictions for NFL Week 5.

The Piercing Bible--REPRINTED!
October 27th, 2009
I just found out from my editor, Lisa, that The Piercing Bible was reprinted last month! She said,
"The fabulous news is that we reprinted the book last month. Not only does this mean that your royalty statements will be revving up, but also it's good news for sales levels in general since it means we sold through the first print run in under a year."
Well, not only did we sell out the first print run in under a year, it was actually under half a year: The Piercing Bible came out in May, and it was reprinted in September! She also told me that less than 25% of those copies have sold through standard bookstores and over 75% of the sales came through alternative venues like online or specialty shops. She encouraged me:
"So all of your efforts are helping to contribute to the main piece of the sales—whatever you're doing, keep doing it!"
I'm so delighted!!!
Article on Female Genital Piercings
October 27th, 2009
I found that The Piercing Bible had been quoted in this article in The Daily Cardinal, the University of Wisconsin online newspaper. I was delighted to see that a great deal of factual information was included and that the piercers were quoted in the piece were knowledgeable and provided accurate facts. For example, this part, where I'm quoted:
Elayne Angel, the author of The Piercing Bible who estimates she has performed over 40,000 piercings, echoes this last point: "I have had more than one client confide in me that she had never had an orgasm ... until after I had performed her [piercing]!" However, every one of these experts is quick to note that the clitoris is usually not what's pierced in a "clit piercing." Instead, it is the clitoral hood that is bedazzled. The clitoral hood is the fold of tissue that covers the clitoris. Since the clitoris itself is so highly innervated, Ziebell cautioned, "If one false move is made, all feeling is lost forever, and I don't want that on my conscience." Indeed, Piercer X explained many women who come in requesting "clit piercings" are actually looking for a clitoral hood piercing: "I sometimes spend part of the time going through the names of the hills and valleys down there so I'm sure I know what [a client] wants," he said.
The piercer mentions how frequently women requesting "clit piercings' actually want hood piercings. I've definitely found that to be the case. Also, the piercer said that he does 95% vertical clitoral hood piercings (VCH), and that is similar to the percentage I do (vs. horizontal hood piercings). I'm not sure why he or she didn't want to be named, preferring to be referred to as "Piercer X," but at least the information was sound!
I Wasn't Sure What To Think
October 25th, 2009
When I first saw the headline of a review on this site:
DO NOT Buy The Piercing Bible
It made my stomach drop. I thought I was about to read my first bad review. Then it went on: Do not waste your time buying the Piercing Bible if you have done over 40,000 piercings, was a medical liaison to the Association of Professional Piercers, and ran the only body piercing studio in the French Quarter in New Orleans for 12 straight years. Also, do not waste your time buying the Piercing Bible if you simply want to continue sucking at being a piercer or a piercee. And I began to realize that it was actually a very positive review! It went on: If you have done all of the above things, than your name must be Elayne Angel; author of The Piercing Bible and you should probably just ignore this post as it will be completely useless to you. If you answered no to ANY of the above questions and you want to be a better piercer or piercee, than you need to get this book. Period. I don't care if you've done 39,999 piercings and this afternoon you'll hit your 40,000th with that belly button you have booked…you still need to get this book.

Customer Reviews: Get this book. Even if you are already well-informed about piercings, aftercare, etc., its a very handy resource to have around. It talks about piercings in plain language that everyone can understand. It also talks about what to look for in a studio, in a piercer, what to do if your piercing acts up, and all sorts of other important things.

Dispelling Piercing Myths
October 21st, 2009
I found that I'd been quoted in someone's blog post today about the Prince Albert piercing. I helped to settle the case on whether Prince Albert himself actually had a Prince Albert piercing (he didn't):
Another thing: according to The Piercing Bible by Elayne Angel (p. 156), the healing time for a Prince Albert is "4 to 8 weeks or longer". Now, in a time when infection could not be reliably controlled, who is going to pierce themselves anywhere - let alone somewhere that delicate? Are you beginning to smell a hoax? In her book, Angel confirms my suspicions that Prince Albert did not have a Prince Albert, as does Matthew Sweet in Inventing the Victorians. So why do so many people think he did? Where did this "dressing ring" thing get started? According to Angel, these stories were made up by a man who called himself Doug Malloy (real name Richard Simonton). He is considered the father of modern piercing culture in the US.

Piercer Charged with "Inappropriate Touching"
October 20th, 2009
October 17, 2009 Piercing-related news from New Zealand: http://www.stuff.co.nz/nelson-mail/news/2974784/Body-piercer-acquitted A piercer was charged with "inappropriate touching" of two female piercing clients but he was found not-guilty. I'd be very curious to find out the true story about this with all relevant details. I know that misunderstandings can occur when someone is new to body piercing. I once heard through the grapevine that a male client I performed a genital piercing on had misconstrued aspects of the cleaning/marking/piercing process and believed I'd had a personal interest in him! I was very shocked to hear that, but it helped me comprehend that the circumstances of a normal genital piercing, which involve touching and manipulation of the genitals, could result in a misunderstanding. That said, I'm sure I don't have an explanation for the part where the piercer (allegedly) put his hand down the pants of a girl who was getting body art on her hip?! But what was she doing getting work in a studio at the age of 16 anyway. Sounds like some strange behavior all the way around. Here's what the article said:
A French body piercer has been acquitted on charges of inappropriately touching two female Nelson clients. Vincent Jean Delebecque, 25, was facing three charges of indecent assault, two involving one woman and a third involving another.
He was last night acquitted by a jury after a two-day trial. The Crown had alleged that Delebecque touched the women inappropriately while working as a body piercer at Gizmos in Nelson. The Crown said Delebecque put his hand down a 16-year-old's pants while she was getting a piercing done in a tattoo on her hip in March, and that he indecently assaulted a 24-year-old woman who went to Gizmos to get her genitals pierced in April.

by Lawrence Sanders
Like the 1987 book, The Timothy Files, in which Sanders introduced Wall Street private detective Timothy Cone, this volume includes three novellas. It's just as well, since none of the tales would bear much more exposition or scrutiny. One case involves an ambitious young woman who runs her father's garbage-collecting business and scavenges insider-trading tidbits thrown away by a printing company that works for an investment banking firm. Another concerns industrial sabotage designed to drive down companies' stock. And a third involves two groups of Chinese gangsters fighting for turf while an elderly Chinese businessman copes with a philandering, gorgeous young wife and a philandering, bitter son. Cone puzzles out an ingenious kink or two in each case, sometimes with the unlikely help of such allies as FBI agent Johnnie Wong. Though Cone is fond of sardonic wit—Wong cautions him against quipping "50 million Chinese can't be Wong"—Sanders' sense of humor often seems archaic. So does his language. Chin Tung Lee's gorgeous wife, for instance, asks Cone, "You had eyes for me, didn't you?" Cone, who smokes incessantly, refers to his habit as lighting up "another coffin nail." When a bellhop whom he's grilling asks for a bigger bribe, Cone says, "You already got a Lincoln." The man replies, "It'll cost you a Hamilton. Look, you're making a nice couple of Washingtons on your job, aintcha? What am I—chopped liver?" Whether anyone ever talks like this in real life anymore—even private eyes who drink vodka out of jelly jars—these conversations rarely ring true. Cone also spends an inordinate amount of time lounging around his dingy loft in his underwear, talking to his cat. Most of the book's minimal diversion value comes from Sanders' quirky characters—the bonsai tree-worshipping, slightly dotty wife of a tycoon, for instance. There's something to be said too for a book that mixes incessant cribbed-from-'40s-novels slang with such words as "mono-syllabicity" and, after Cone stops for a fast food lunch, "eructing." For those not carrying a Funk & Wagnalls in their ankle holster, that means burping. (Putnam's, $18.95)

The text as it appears on the back of the card
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is being negotiated in secret by the Obama administration along with eleven other foreign governments. The public and civil society are excluded from seeing the text but hundreds of corporate advisors have access and help write the text. Little was known about the TPP until a series of leaked documents were published by the Citizens Trade Campaign and WikiLeaks revealing the TPP is not about trade, but is rather a corporate power grab that circumvents domestic judicial systems and undermines national and local sovereignty.
The TPP would allow corporations to challenge laws, regulations and court decisions (including local and state laws) if they adversely impact the corporation's expected future profits. Under the TPP's "investor-state" provisions, corporations can file lawsuits in Trade Tribunals where the judges would primarily be corporate lawyers on temporary leave from their corporate jobs. Corporations can file for expected lost profits. The decisions of the Trade Tribunals could not be overturned by federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
Every trade agreement has resulted in a net loss of jobs, lowering of incomes and expansion of the wealth divide as well as massive trade deficits. Economists predict these same results from the TPP. The TPP already constitutes 40% of the world economy and contains "docking" provisions allowing other nations to join later.
The TPP will also require that laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments be consistent with the agreement.
Provisions in the TPP specifically threaten to:
- Undermine food safety protections by making it harder for countries to adopt regulations such as labeling laws or banning GMOs.
- Dismantle the "Buy Local" movement by overturning government laws designed to keep taxpayer dollars in the local economy.
- Inhibit access to lifesaving medicine by extending monopoly drug patents for big pharmaceuticals.
- Curtail Internet freedom, spur further financial deregulation, roll back environmental laws and more.
The TPP is one of three massive international treaties being negotiated in secret by the Obama administration. The other two are the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with Europe and the Trade in Services Agreement with 50 countries. These agreements will put in place laws that give massive, transnational corporations greater power to control the global economy than governments, creating an era of corporate domination of our lives.
The TPP is being negotiated under unprecedented secrecy because previous attempts to pass similar agreements have been met with widespread public opposition. Grassroots movements in the past have successfully stopped the Multilateral Agreement on Investment, the Free Trade Area of the Americas, the expansion of the World Trade Organization, and others. In 2015 the Obama Administration was given the power to "fast track" the vote, i.e. Congress only has a short time review it and cannot amend the TPP. The vote could be as early as Fall 2015 or Spring 2016. We must act now, using education, protest and civil resistance to stop the TPP and build a broad-based movement for future battles.

ABC orders more 'Goldbergs,' 'Trophy Wife' and 'Super Fun Night'
'Back in the Game,' however, will end after 13 episodes
ABC stirred up a little late-afternoon excitement in the TV world on Friday (November 1), ordering up additional episodes for three of its freshman comedies.
Per ABC's announcement, Tuesday duo "Trophy Wife" and "The Goldbergs" both received full back-nine orders. While "Super Fun Night" wasn't quite as lucky, the Wednesday comedy earned an additional four episodes.
The expanded orders came after a week in which all three comedies were given the opportunity to stand without their high-profile lead-ins and a couple of them shined, relatively speaking.
Airing without a new "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." on Tuesday, "The Goldbergs" drew 5.43 million viewers and did a 1.7 rating among adults 18-49. "Trophy Wife" drew 4.33 million and did a 1.4 rating in that key demo. For "Goldbergs," that was up slightly in viewers and flat in the key demo, while "Trophy Wife" was up week-to-week in both measures.
Airing on Wednesday after a repeat of "Modern Family," "Super Fun Night" definitely dropped, but with 5.17 million viewers and a 1.7 key demo rating, that was enough for ABC to want some more inventory for the Rebel Wilson comedy.
The news was less good for the network's other new comedy, the Wednesday 8:30 sitcom "Back in the Game," which will air its 13 episode run, but will not be picked up for any additional episodes. [You can perhaps start doing the math on "Back in the Game," which has aired six episodes, to start estimating a return date for "Suburgatory."]
Personally, I gave up on "Super Fun Night" after three episodes. If somebody wants to tell me it has gotten better, maybe I'll check back in at some point, but I feel like I've seen enough.
"Trophy Wife" was perhaps my favorite net network pilot for the fall and it has continued to be an early standout for me. The pleasure of watching Malin Akerman on a weekly basis hasn't been a surprise, but I continue to be impressed by how well the show is handling the main character's relationship with her on-screen hubby, played by the expertly deadpan Bradley Whitford. Michaela Watkins and Marcia Gay Harden have both been occasionally hilarious, but the real supporting standouts have been Ryan Lee as Warren and Albert Tsai as Bert. Before the show began, I had fears about its ability to use Natalie Morales and those fears haven't been dissipated and, in fact, Morales has been absent in more episodes than she's appeared in so far. But this remains a comedy that I think could have real value for ABC and I can't help but think that with a better title, it might not have struggled like it has.
I was less immediately enamored of "The Goldbergs" and it still remains a show about a family that likes to yell entirely too much. But when they aren't yelling, I find myself somewhat warming to the characters and I just wish the actors would trust the sometimes strong writing a bit more. I do find that I laugh a couple times per week at "The Goldbergs" and that has been enough to keep me watching relatively contentedly. I like how the show's uber-80s timeframe has become something of a running joke and yet folks on my Twitter feed keep suddenly noticing that the years don't line up from cultural reference to cultural reference. Yes, this is a show in which "Poltergeist" and the Reebok Pump came out the same year. Do you think the writers are unaware that this doesn't match? They know. Move on.
Anyway, I endorse a network allowing comedies the chance to grow. The big question is when ABC will make the move to give either "Trophy Wife" or "The Goldbergs" the post-"Modern Family" slot. They're both more compatible than "Super Fun Night" and these pickups indicate that ABC has less confidence in Rebel Wilson. It seems to me like "The Goldbergs" has had the chance to at least get a sampling thanks to "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," meaning that "Trophy Wife" deserves a chance on Wednesday. But what do I know?
Are you pleased with these ABC pickups? Are you watching any or all of the three comedies? And will you miss "Back in the Game" after it's done?

WASHINGTON - President Bush moved Monday to bring generic drugs more quickly to the market by blocking pharmaceutical companies from filing multiple patent-protection lawsuits that can stall the cheaper products for years.
"This is another important advancement in the cause of bringing more affordable prescription medicines to our seniors," Bush said in a morning appearance in the White House Rose Garden.
Brand-name drug manufacturers sometimes file lawsuits against generic drug makers poised to put less expensive products on the shelves. The lawsuits invoke the 1984 Hatch-Waxman Act, which was meant to promote competition in the drug industry, but which also gives the brand-name makers up to 30 months of additional patent protection while litigation proceeds.
"I've gotten a pretty good feel for that issue, and I think that most physicians would agree that this plan would be very positive," said Dr. Steven Berk, regional dean of the Texas Tech School of Medicine.
Berk said the Bush administration plan would be "an important step forward" in helping contain health care costs, especially for senior citizens.
The Federal Trade Commission found earlier this year that big pharmaceuticals are increasingly using this tactic to fend off competition and keep generics out of consumers' hands, sometimes for years.
Berk said he thinks it's unfair for pharmaceutical companies to extend drug patents. He said he thinks physicians would not want to see pharmaceutical companies block legitimate generic drugs from getting to consumers.
Bush said his administration will move to limit the brand-name manufacturers to a single 30-month delay per drug. The White House also was moving to tighten requirements and increase disclosure rules for drug patent listings.
"What's he's doing needs to be done," said Dick Storseth, pharmacist with Village Pharmacy, referring to Bush's plan. He said drug companies act in their own self-interest - and make billions of dollars in the process - when they try to keep generic drugs out of consumers' hands.
While Storseth said he likes the president's plan, he said, "The follow-through will be the key.
"Will they enforce it, can they enforce it, and will the manufacturers tie them up with a lawsuit, as well?" he said. Storseth said pharmaceutical companies have lots of lobbying power.

What sport can't you play? or What kind of sport are you not good with?.
Mine would be Basketball and Golf.

At the moment football YAY
But i can't do anything that doesn't involve kicking XD

Basketball. I mean I play but I can't play too much cause I have no way of controlling the power in my shots. XD

But I suck at:
Any bat n' ball game. My hand-eye co-ordination sucks...
September 22nd, 2009, 12:02 PM
Well, you guys are the opposites, I can play every sport.........
Except Afl (Australians would know).
September 22nd, 2009, 8:41 PM
I have virtually no hand-eye coordination, and I possess very bad depth perception. Those two things in combination pretty much rule out a good number of sports for lil' old me. Basketball, football, and baseball are my absolute worse... I can usually hold my own on a good number of the other sports I'm often asked to participate in.
September 22nd, 2009, 9:00 PM
I'm not a total failure at sports like most PC peoples that know me would guess...I actually used to be fairly decent at baseball in high school. :P
...my worst sport, however, is probably gotta be soccer/hockey, primarily because I lack the physical stamina that they require. XD
September 22nd, 2009, 9:00 PM
I can't play... golf.
But I am a good Football (Soccer) player (Vice-Captain) and Basketball player (Captain).
September 23rd, 2009, 3:21 AM
I've never tried golf, but my friends are obsessed with it. I gotta go golfing one day and try it out. x] I can't play hockey for my life. I've been on several basketball / soccer teams. Right now it's tennis and those other things that involve rackets for me.
Edit: And Baseball. I... never... hit... the ball. @_____@

Due to physical constraints, I cannot play any sport without risking messing up my knee, sweating profusely, or over-exerting myself. Therefore, I really can't play any sport :/
September 23rd, 2009, 11:56 AM
Tennis and Rugby.
Tennis..I just don't think fast enough for that game. Strangely, I'm in love with table tennis.
Rugby..I don't really know why I can't play this..I'm not flimsy or anything like that..I just don't know..XD
September 23rd, 2009, 1:57 PM
First, all sports that I don't know the rules to/existed. Second, basketball. I don't think I made a basket in years. I shoot, and I shoot, and don't score. Yes, I follow the BEEF thingy.
