The sweatpants are nice - good colour and tapered fit. But they are small! I'm 32W 32L in Jeans, with quite big thighs but the Medium sweatpants were virtually spray on. Bear that in mind!
Bought these pants last week and haven't stopped wearing them since. Brilliant quality for the price you pay. I'm 5'11 75kg and the mediums fit perfect. Nice and snug round the calves with enough room everywhere else. Handy pockets are deep enough for phones and stuff. Just trying to figure out what colours to get next.
I'm 6", 80kg and slim so Large fits me perfect. They are snug on the calfs and mine are slim so if you've got big legs, regardless of your height.. You need XL! They havnt ripped or torn yet but I've only worn them once. Really comfy. Goes Well With:No underwear
I live these bottoms. They are comfortable and great quality and the fit is great. I also have the skinny fit and they're both good, obviously these are a little looser. I am 5'3" and the XS is basically a perfect fit. Goes Well With:Any t shirt
I've got three pairs of these. Really comfy and useful for after workouts to warm up. Goes Well With:Moat sweat gear
Very comfortable and good to train in
I ordered these on a Thursday night with standard delivery, and they arrived on the Saturday morning; I was very pleased about that. I was concerned about the size, colour and fit of the pants, as I was tossing up between Skinny or Slim. I went with the Slim, and definitely made the right call! I am a 30 inch waist, 6 foot tall male and the Small size fits me perfectly. They look good enough to wear wherever, and their comfort cannot be spoken of highly enough! I'm very likely going to buy a black pair soon, and would definitely recommend.Goes Well With:Chilling clothes, gym kit
Good fit slim joggers, I got the XL, I'm 34 waist, 26 thigh, 17 calf. They've tighter round the bottom of the leg but I guess that's by design. Washed them a couple of times and they've kept they're size and shape.
Really like these, super comfy and i can't stop wearing them. I would just say that when i buy again i'll get a size smaller as they are still quite baggy
Very comfortable and affordable. I would definitely recommend other to buy Goes Well With:Everything casual from relaxing indoors to gym and being comfortable at all times
I'm a 32" waist and I purchased the medium size, they fit well and they aren't too tight around my legs and I have above average sized thighs and calves. Overall they are great for the gym and I've since purchased a 2nd pair. Goes Well With:Squats and deadlifts ;)
Good quality fabric, the fit is definitely spot on! I must say, I've finally found the perfect fitting joggers for myself. Washes great.
Totally in love with these slim fit joggers, they are still great after few washes. Fits and looks perfect, great buyyGoes Well With:white athletic vests
Very comfortable, and great to work out in as they are stretchy and do not limit any exercise. However, they fade quickly after a few washes.
got my order today feels great. nice thin material and i can squat in these. im a size 30 waist and i got S and its perfect
These joggers/sweatpants are amazing. They fit perfectly and defiantly look the part in and outside the gym. Great product, keep it up MYPROTEIN! 10/10Goes Well With:The Myprotein Men's Hooded Jacket or the Myprotein Men's T-Shirt, in any colour.
These are brilliant and really comfortable - they start way to tight but stretch nicely.
These shrunk in the first wash and were completely worn out after a few weeks of use. It's a pity about the quality because the fit and the style were decent.
Tears and wears out after a week of use.
I got my size as medium for a 34" waist, and they fit perfectly fine. However, after like 2 months of usage they begun to rip in the groin area. Upon getting them replaced, they had already ripped within 3 uses at the gym! They're comfy, fit nicely, but ultimately made very cheaply because the rip so easily, such a shameGoes Well With:memes

Yeah changing name to the one of your husband feels like fading your own identity in his.
It's freaky!
All my friends changed their names and it's so odd to call them something different than what I've known they by for the past 20 years.
I might have changed my name to a totally new one that we would have created together. Maybe.
a lot of the time the super of 2 people isn't enough for a comfortable retirement! never mind fleecing some bloke for half of his.

If it was her choice, then I'd be ok with it. Not over-the-moon happy, but ok.
I just want her to have something to fall back on - a career/experience/qualifications - so she could support herself if need be.
Being a long-term sahp isn't something I could happily do myself & I suppose that influences my views. I would struggle being at home fulltime. I have 2 university degrees & have worked hard to ensure my career doesn't slide whilst I am on mat leave. To the point I have planned out (career-wise) the 18mths after I go back to work mid next year already.

You can only rely on one person in this life- yourself. I want my daughters to have financial freedom and independence. I work to live ( not live to work) but also do it to have independence, gain skills and to keep me socially sane
I wouldn't be disappointed if it was a choice. As some previous posters have said, I feel it's just so so important to have financial independence. Or at least the ability to support oneself in a career if the need arises. Preferably in a career you enjoy.
I'd want my kids to be happy first up, but I'd absolutely want them to have choices in life. Being a SAHM is an extraordinary thing but I'll be honest I'd rather my kids have a career they enjoy, with the option to come back to after they spend time at home with children.
My mum was a sahm and the one thing she drilled into me was to study hard, work hard and have a career of my own and never rely financially on a man. That's probably why it's so important to me.
Mokeybear (08-10-2015)
I am going to try and stay out of this thread because I am exactly what you guys fear. A long term sahm by choice with no back up degree or career.
I know if I came on hard times I would survive and so would my kids because We have designed it that way.
Just wanted to add as person in this position not only am I happier than a pig in mud. My life is easier for it.
So ladies if your worst fears come to pass and your kids end up like me, it's not the end of the world.

Having permanent employment and financial independence was the only thing that gave me any feeling of self worth after I separated.
So for me, and I really don't think gender matters, of course I want my son to be happy and to make decisions that benefit his family should he have one, but I know first hand that life doesn't always turn out how we expect. If you'd asked me, I'd have bet everything I had on my marriage lasting the distance. Most people would.
I think regardless of outside employment/SAHP status, what matters is making sure there is some degree of financial and independence for both parties. If my future DIL chose to be a SAHM I would be concerned (rather than disappointed) if my DS didn't value that ie considered money to be 'his'/wanted to track every cent she spent/begrudged her spending money on herself etc. I would be sad if he spent money on follies that could be put aside to support her or his family in the future if need be.

Everyone knows that the rise to stardom is long and difficult, but the path to celebrity status is not always as linear as people think it is. These celebrities are well-known for their talent and fame, but they each had surprising secondary careers at different points in their lives.
Harrison Ford
Harrison Ford is a legendary leading man in action and adventure franchises such as "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones." What even the most devoted fan may not know is that Ford had a long career as a carpenter before he traded in his tool belt for a light saber. While Ford always longed for a career in Hollywood, he was met with only marginal success and turned to carpentry for a stable income. Four years later, he landed a role in "American Graffiti" that kickstarted his acting career.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Actor and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger has enjoyed a long and varied career in the government and in the spotlight. The Austrian celebrity became famous for his bodybuilding career, which he turned into A-list status in Hollywood with his starring role in "The Terminator" franchise. Numerous roles in action and comedy catapulted Arnold Schwarzenegger to fame, but he turned his attention to politics as governor of California later in his career, earning him the nickname of "The Governator."
Walt Disney
Walt Disney is known for creating "The Most Magical Place on Earth," but long before he was the king of theme parks and animation, he worked as a newspaper editor. Disney found that the job simply didn't satisfy his creativity and made a career change that changed the world.
Julia Child
Julia Child was a spy long before she became a celebrity chef. She worked as a CIA intelligence officer until the age of 36 and her career change is chronicled in the film "Julie & Julia."
Ray LaMontagne
Ray LaMontagne is one of the world's greatest singer-songwriters, but his career began with arduous 65-hour workweeks at a Maine shoe factory. During his early career, he admits that he was not particularly interested in music. It wasn't until he discovered a Stephen Stills song that he decided to turn his talent to learning acoustic guitar. At the age of 30, he quit his job and went on to land a major record deal with RCA Records.
These celebrity career changes are as inspiring as they are surprising. From celebrities who sought the spotlight later in life to those who took on jobs outside the Hollywood glare after an illustrious career, these stars prove that it is never too late to make a change.

The hotel and location was great. The only issue we had was the bathroom. It was set up weird. Maybe it was just our room but the toilet was too high and there was no divider between the toilet and shower. Everything was wet after we used it. The toilet, the sink, the floors, the walls. It was not very comfortable. The bedroom was good and bed was clean. Location was great and breakfast was excellent.

Close to Milano Centrale train station.
I stayed at this hotel one night for its proximity to the train station. I am probably a bit biased because I primarily stay at Hilton/Hyatt or Marriott. (Hilton sold out this evening). It seemed like a hostel to me (but not priced like one), beggars at the front door, questionable people always hanging out in lobby. The room pics online look much better than the real thing. The rooms have been freshened up, but mine was "beat up". The ceiling in the bathroom was very dirty and rusting. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, like sleeping on a board. I was in room 301, which is next to the housekeeping laundry, etc. I had to listen to the laundry machines all night, and the door slamming every time someone came in or out. (this was a lot, especially during the day and early morning). The housekeeping staff need to be aware that people are sleeping next door. Needless to say I went running back to the Hilton the following night.
Good part: I was upgraded from single room to a double room. Good wifi connection, good breakfast. Bad part: Lights were too dim. Very less light in the bathroom. There was no separation for shower and entire floor has water on it after taking shower. impossible to use bathroom afterwards. Mattress needs to be changed. It was too soft.

Great spot to grab a quick drink and snack. Good variety of food options and drinks. I would go back again,
What a great snack place if you want to grab a quick cup of coffee, cappuccino or even water. Coupled with healthy snacks like fruit, granola and yogurt, you can't go wrong. Although line may seem long, it moves quickly.
Stopped in for breakfast. Had biscuits and gravy and hash browns. Potatoes were awesome crisp.....they cut them country style home fries....deep fried perfect ....that's where the good ends. Biscuits were horrible....they had a weird texture ..not fluffy ...odd taste...sort of like soda powder. Sausage gravy had little sausage and was very bland. It was a little pricey too. There are...
Unique system where you look at menu and order at cashier and pay ahead of eating the meal. Salads are very good. Service is quick and efficient. The food is always fresh.
For some coffee while at the mall, check out their selection of all types of coffee and milk to choose from.
I normally get the latte with coconut milk, (large of course).
We've also purchased their coffee to make at home and it is very high end quality (ground on sight or whole beans). We usually get the Peruvian bean,...
This looked cantine style and no wine served. So we left. Too many tables had not been cleaned up. That comes over unorderly
great selection for brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, or just a coffee break, the service is friendly, and the menu selection is reasonable, a good spot for a reprieve from shopping.
I like this spot within the Nordstrom's store in the Short Hills (NJ) Mall because it is an attractive, pleasant and quick spot to get a lunch after one has done some serious shopping in this amazing mall. The entrees, including delicious soups, are quickly available and it takes but a minute or so to place your order. Once done,...
This is the perfect place for a ladies' lunch while you are shopping at the mall.
I usually start with the tomato basil soup which you can order in a small serving. Nice tomato flavor with a hint of basil. Then my friends and I split a salad and a sandwich. I've tried most of their salad and my favorite...
This is my go-to place to meet friends for lunch at the Short Hills Mall. You get on line to order and find your seat afterwards. The wait person picks up your order folder and brings your food and beverage. My favorite salad used to be he lime cilantro chicken salad but when they recently changed the menu, they added...

text: Was CM Punk's rant at that fan who boo'd him. I dunno why, but I thought that was awesome. I've been wanting a face who can still pull out heelish things and Punk is definitely that guy. The crowd seemed to absolutely love it too. I'm prepared for Punk haters to go on about how bad that was or something, but I actually liked it, and it shocked me. I was prepared for some dull segment where Punk was playing the sympathy card, but I thought his promo was actually fantastic. What did you think?

2014 Honda CTX700, CTX700D are probably the world's dullest motorcycles
Honda seem to have taken it upon themselves to build the dullest, most boring motorcycles in the world. After the NC700X and CBR500 series, they've announced the 2014 CTX700, which is, presumably, a motorcycle, but could just as well be a toaster, sewing machine, microwave oven, washing machine or any other household appliance.
"Made for travel with an efficient fairing and windscreen up front, the CTX700 boasts features that make it an ideal partner for exploring all that the open road can offer," claim Honda. The bike is powered by a liquid-cooled SOHC 670cc parallel-twin and has a regular 6-speed gearbox, while the CTX700D gets an automatic dual clutch transmission (DCT), which allows riders to either use a fully automatic mode or use paddle-shifters to shift gears without having to use a clutch. The CTX700D also gets ABS.
So why should you buy a Honda CTX700 or CTX700D? The 'benefits' that Honda claim for the CTX are an upper fairing and windscreen that divert wind around the rider, adding to comfort and reducing fatigue, abundant torque in the low-end and midrange for easily accessible power, crisp throttle response, linear and smooth power delivery, an engine balancer shaft that quells vibration for smooth operation and rubber-mounted footrests that add to rider comfort. Yawn…
Jon Parsons' three-wheeled motorcycle pushes performance boundaries
As you can see in the video here, Jon Parsons' three-wheeled motorcycle is an idea that seems to work. Now if only this idea can be grafted on to a ZX-10R Ninja...
Not all of us believe that two wheels are adequate for a motorcycle. Jon Parsons certainly doesn't. A UK-based chartered engineer who's currently working as a designer with an aerospace company, Jon set up his own outfit, Dynamic Design Studio, back in 2006 in order to develop an in-line three-wheel motorcycle. "I have been riding motorcycles since I was 16 and have owned mopeds, touring bikes, sportsbikes, trials bikes, motocross bikes, enduro bikes and quads. I ride regularly and enjoy motorcycling in mainland Europe," he says. We quite liked his 3-wheeled bike – it looks pretty interesting and by at the way it goes (see video above) seems to be quite a capable machine really.
We caught up with Jon for a quick chat to understand a bit more about how and why this 3-wheeled bike exists. Here's what he had to say:
On how he came up with this idea for building a 3-wheeled motorcycle
Two events triggered me to think about 3x2x2 bikes. The first was while I was watching the first Weston-Super-Mare beach race. The motocross and enduro bikes really struggled to get enough grip to get over the largest dunes. I considered possible solutions like having more tyre contact with the sand to stop the wheel from 'digging in' and give the necessary grip. A wider tyre or even two wheels side by side (like a trike) would do this, but the resulting bike would not be able to lean into corners like a conventional bike. The answer appeared to be three wheels in a line and for this to work the wheels would need to be able to move up and down independently, and the rear wheel would need to be driven and steered.

2013 MV Agusta Brutale range gets switchable Bosch ABS
What goes hard must stop harder. And with Bosch's 9MP switchable ABS, the 2013 MV Brutale range should be able to do just that...
According to a press note from MV Agusta, all 2013 Brutale models – the Brutale 1090, Brutale 1090 R and Brutale 1090 RR – are now available with ABS. The latest Bosch 9MP ABS is used on the entire range and this offers 'Normal' and 'Race' mode operation. Bosch's 9MP ABS is said to be the lightest, most compact ABS unit for motorcycles and incorporates internal pressure sensors that work together with independent wheels speed sensors to give the ECU all the information it needs to allow maximum deceleration without loss of control.
The Bosch ABS can be switched off by the rider at any time and, on the Brutale 1090 RR, there is a Race Mode which can be utilized specifically on the race track or during aggressive street riding. Cool, eh? :-)

The Doctor is happy with the 2013 Yamaha YZR M1
"I'm very happy about the first day of testing with the M1. After two seasons away I was able to come back on the bike and remember the good feeling I always had with it. I am also happy because I was quite fast from the morning," said Valentino Rossi yesterday, after the first test session in Sepang, aboard the 2013 Yamaha YZR M1. "We worked on the settings to make some improvements and we made some good steps. In the afternoon we started to work on the new parts for the season. It's just the first test but the potential is high and I am in a good position, I am in fourth place but not far from the other three guys. I am very positive that we can improve over the next few days but I'm happy with the start," said The Doctor, who was initially the fastest rider during the majority of the morning session, though he ended the day in fourth place, behind Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Marquez.
So, is Valentino Rossi going to be able to win the 2013 MotoGP world championship? That may or may not happen but at least The Doctor has a fighting chance now…

Makoto Hirano: "If Honda had given up oval piston development, there wouldn't have been any VTEC"
Only Honda could have done the oval-piston NR, says Hirano and he's right of course. Even after two decades, the NR represents unsurpassed engineering brilliance...
Honda produced just 300 units of the NR and that was back in 1992 – more than two decades ago – and yet, for us, that bike remains one of the most intriguing, deeply fascinating motorcycles ever built anywhere in the world. Some of that fascination is down to the NR's oval-piston engine, of course – the NR's massively complicated four-cylinder 750cc engine had 8 valves per cylinder and two conrods per piston, which allowed the engine to function as a V8. No, honestly, we don't really understand how it worked, but the fact that it did, and that Honda actually built a streetbike – one that cost US$50,000 back in 1992 – around this engine was some kind of a miracle. And it really doesn't matter that with 125bhp at 14,000rpm, the NR engine's output doesn't really look anything special today, when compared to modern-day 750cc sportsbikes.
"When I look back at it, I'm not sure if we were experimenting with cutting-edge technology or obsessed with foolish ideas," says Toshimitsu Yoshimura, speaking to Inspire magazine. "We didn't think much about whether the engine would actually turn over or even whether it would be practical at all. We weren't worried about those things since we just wanted to make it work. To create anything, you must put your heart and soul to it. The development of oval piston engines impressed that upon me, as well as on the other young engineers," adds Toshimitsu, who was one of the engineers who actually worked on the development of the Honda NR's oval-piston engine.

2013 MTT Y2K could be out by July this year
According to a report in Autocar, Marine Turbine Technologies (MTT) are now working on a new version of the Y2K hyperbike, which is expected to be launched in the US and in Europe by mid-2013. Fitted with a Rolls-Royce C-20B gas turbine engine that produces 420 horsepower (100bhp more than the original Y2K that was launched in the year 2000), the 2013 MTT Y2K, which is currently undergoing wind tunnel testing in the UK, is expected to have a top speed of more than 440km/h. And since the original Y2K was able to accelerate from zero to 320km/h in 5.4 seconds, the new one should be able to do it in a bit less than that.
Other new bits on the 2013 MTT Y2K could include things like carbonfibre wheels, carbonfibre full fairing, an aluminium alloy chassis, bigger brake discs with radial-mount calipers at the front, a 240-section rear tyre and in keeping with developments in technology that have happened in the last 10 years, more advanced electronics, including ABS. The price hasn't been confirmed yet, of course, but expect to pay about US$200,000 for the privilege of owning the world's fastest, quickest accelerating jet-propelled motorcycle…

MZ Vintage Racer sketch makes us wish for a revival of the German brand
Back in 1906, one Jørgen Skafte Rasmussen, from Denmark, bought an empty cloth factory in Zschopau, in the Erzgebirge region of Saxony, in the former East Germany. Rasmussen went on to build steam-powered cars in this facility (under the DKW name) and was also building some very basic motorcycles (essentially bicycles with small engines strapped on…) at the facility by the early-1920s. By 1929, motorcycle production had gone up to 60,000 units per annum and DKW was the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world.
In 1956, the motorcycle division of Rasmussen's company was renamed Motorradwerk Zschopau (MZ), which is German for 'motorcycle factory at Zschopau.' MZ did well for themselves in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, winning the prestigious International Six Day Trial (ISDT) from 1963-67 and then again in 1969 and 1987. Their one-millionth motorcycle – an MZ ETS 250 Trophy Sport – rolled off the assembly line in Zschopau in 1972, and their two-millionth motorcycle, an MZ ETZ 250, was produced in 1983. After that, however, MZ ran into trouble since they weren't able to keep up cheaper and more modern motorcycles from Japan.
The 1990s were bad times for the company, with MZ being renamed to MuZ, being bought out by Malaysian Corporation, the Hong Leong Group in 1996, and finally stopping motorcycle production in 2008, after the Malaysian backers withdrew their support. There was a revival of sorts in 2009, when former GP racers Ralf Waldmann and Martin Wimmer bought the MZ brand and while the company currently only makes an odd bunch of scooters, there are rumours that they will launch a 600cc sportsbike based on their Moto2 racebike.

Josh Hayes's AMA Superbike Championship winning Yamaha R1: What lies beneath
Is Josh Hayes's Yamaha R1 different from the one you have in the garage? Er... yes, just a bit different. But his AMA Superbike championships are down to his sheer talent...
In 2012, Josh Hayes won his third consecutive AMA Superbike championship aboard his Monster Energy Graves Yamaha YZF-R1. For those who've ever wondered what goes into preparing a production-based racebike at this level, here's what it takes. Josh's team started with a stock R1 – the same machine that you can buy in Yamaha showrooms – and then went mad with aftermarket bits. Modifications include a racing-spec Öhlins inverted fork and Öhlins race-spec rear shock, OZ magnesium racing-spec wheels, Braking USA wave rotors, Brembo racing calipers and brake pads, Sharkskinz lightweight bodywork and Zero Gravity windscreen.
The 2012 AMA Superbike championship winning Yamaha R1 also got Graves Motorsports rearset controls and handlebars, a Dynojet quick shifter with a reversed shift pattern (commonly used in racing) and a host of engine mods, including a Magneti Marelli ECU, STM clutch components and a Graves Motorsports underseat titanium exhaust system. Other racing bits included the use of a lightweight Speedcell battery, Vortex sprockets and D.I.D ERV3 drive chain, NGK Racing spark plugs, Yamalube performance lubricants and Dunlop's made-in-America KR449 rear and KR448F front racing slicks.
In addition to a Yamaha R1 and the above mentioned mods, you need, of course, Mr Hayes's talent to win races and championships in the AMA Superbike series… :-)
Valentino Rossi: "At this moment I have to be a little quiet…"
The question that's on everyone's mind is whether Valentino Rossi still has it in him to win MotoGP races and perhaps even a world championship, and The Doctor knows it
"I am so proud to wear the new logo and am very happy to be back in the family! I cannot wait for another opportunity to ride the M1. I think the Yamaha Factory Team will be very strong this year with myself and Jorge. For me at this moment I have to be a little quiet and try to understand what my level is with the bike after the first test. My last Grand Prix victory was in 2010 so my first goal is to come back onto the podium as soon as possible, and to try to win a race," said Valentino Rossi, during a recent visit to Jakarta, Indonesia.
"I'm feeling very positive about the 2013 season. I think the arrival of Valentino is good and we have a very strong team now. I know he is a very talented rider. We will start trying the new bike in Sepang at the next test; I think we have a great chance to be world champion again. It is going to be very difficult as always, it's the toughest category. We are confident with our possibilities though and we are one of the favourites," added Jorge Lorenzo.
So, can The Doctor revive his glory years once more in 2013? We hope, and pray, that he does. Only then will the Ducati years be forgotten...

2013 Honda RC213V unveiled in Madrid
Along with a host of technical updates, the 2013 Honda RC213V, which was unveiled in Madrid today, get a new livery and we think it looks rather good!
Honda riders Dani Pedrosa and Marc Márquez today unveiled the 2013 Honda RC213V MotoGP racebike in Madrid, in the presence of Repsol Chairman and CEO, Antonio Brufau, Executive Vice President of Honda Racing Corporation (HRC), Shuhei Nakamoto, and Dorna CEO, Carmelo Ezpeleta. The bike gets a new livery for this year, in keeping with Repsol's new corporate identity.
"I am very happy to have been here at Campus Repsol today, and to have been the one unveiling the bike and its new livery. We'd run with the old design for a long time and I think that now is a good moment for a change. This year's bike has a fresh touch to it, which can give us a boost at the races. I hope the fans like it too," said Dani Pedrosa. "I'm starting this pre-season really keen. I can't wait to get to Malaysia and to have a few days to put the bike through its paces, enjoy myself and see which parts we are going to use for the opening race, as in the Valencia test after the last race of 2012 we had so much rain that we couldn't do much," he added.
"I am very happy to have presented the new colour scheme for my move up from Moto2 to MotoGP. Seeing the bike painted with the Repsol and HRC logos makes you feel very satisfied with this new step forward —it makes you realise what a dream-come-true it is. I'm like a kid with new shoes! I enjoyed the atmosphere of the presentation at Campus Repsol and I was able to see that the press attention for MotoGP is light years ahead of that for Moto2. We'll adapt to this, little-by-little. In the end, the important thing is what happens on the track, so I can't wait for the Malaysia tests to start," said Márquez.
Tim Cameron on motorcycle design: "There is much more road to travel, stylistically…"
Tim Cameron and the legendary V-Rex (top) and renderings of Tim's latest project (above), the supercharged BMW Shadow Boxer. Damn cool, eh...?
Remember the Travertson V-Rex? Sure you do. The futuristic-looking cruiser came out a few years ago and pretty much rocked the establishment with its outrageous, over-the-top styling. We loved this bike, which was designed by one very talented Aussie – Tim Cameron. So when we recently stumbled upon his latest design sketches for a supercharged BMW, we thought this is a good time to catch up with Tim for a quick chat. Here are some excerpts from what he had to say to Faster and Faster:
On whether the V-Rex made him rich and famous
Hah! Rich and famous! Yeah well... not quite but it came close! For a while there it looked like it was going to be in Transformers 2 – the toy deal alone would have been incredible – but alas, it didn't happen. The V-Rex did however make it to the silver screen with a bit part in Fast and Furious 4, and has also starred in a US TV ad for Dell computers.
I got a lot of work from the publicity surrounding the V-Rex, including design work for an electric motorcycle and a second and third machine for Travertson. A lot of the work was not at all bike-related, which I don't mind – it is a lot of fun designing anything. I've done such things as Cigar cases, 3D printers, wall murals, desk lights and some model toys, and had a blast!
On his love for bikes and how he got started with motorcycle design
I fell in love with motorcycles at age 14, on a moonlit ride through a lonely forest, on a dented and faded borrowed 100cc trail bike in the middle of the Australian wilderness. Since I turned 'legal,' I have always owned at least one bike. I ride almost every day. I stumbled into motorcycle design when I started learning 3D computer graphics and modelling back in the late '80s, on the earliest programs, for which no formal training courses existed. I decided I needed a subject for modelling, which I would not give up on, as it was very tough to learn, and so started building from the gigantic pile of sketches I had been keeping in my desk drawer.
The bike I dreamed about as a kid was the first Kawasaki Z900 in original burnt orange livery. It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. I remember my big brother going for a test ride on one as a trade up for his bright orange Kawasaki 500 Mach III – a scary machine. The Mach III (love that name) was my very first encounter with a bike, when my brother took me for a couple of rides that I can still remember.

Jay Leno drives the Aptera electric trike
Jay Leno refers to the Aptera as an 'electric car,' but since it has only three wheels, we'd say it's a trike and hence deserves to be here on this website. A battery-powered road-legal three-wheeler that looks like an airplane? Hell, yes, bring it on....! :-D
Vilner Aprilia Stingray: RSV Tuono Untamed
We're not too sure about the extended swingarm, but otherwise the Vilner Aprilia Stingray looks good. And with Ms Karolina Bratanova sat on the bike, hmmm... :-)
What happens when Bulgaria-based custom shop, Vilner, get their hands on an Aprilia RSV Tuono? The bike gets a new front fender, a heavily modified headlamp unit and LED turn indicators, side-mounted spoilers/shrouds with air vents designed to keep the engine cool, reshaped fuel tank and bits of high-quality leather wrapping for some of the plastics. And lo! and behold, there you have it – the Vilner Aprilia Stingray, finished in a nice shade of metallic brown.
Apart from the mods mentioned above, the Aprilia Stingray also gets tinted taillamps, black-painted exhausts, an extended swingarm (15cm longer than the stock item) and matt black paint on the lower part of the chassis. The wheels have also been repainted and their silver colour goes quite well with the rest of the bike we think.
For more of Vilner's work, visit their website

2.5: Length of an Arc
You have taken your little cousin to the amusement park for the day. While there, she decides she would like a ride on the carousel. After the ride, she excitedly bounces over to you. She is amazed that she went around, but in a way "didn't go anywhere", since she ended up where she started.
"How far did I go when I was halfway around the turn?", she asks.
You know that the radius of the carousel is 7 meters. Can you tell your little cousin how far she went in one half of a turn around the ride?
At the end of this Concept, you'll be able to do just that.
Watch This
James Sousa Example: Arc Length and Application of Arc Length
This results in a formula that can be used to calculate the length of any arc.
Example A
The free-throw line on an NCAA basketball court is 12 ft wide. In international competition, it is only about 11.81 ft. How much longer is the half circle above the free-throw line on the NCAA court?
Solution: Find both arc lengths.
This is approximately 0.3 ft, or about 3.6 inches longer.
Example B
Two connected gears are rotating. The smaller gear has a radius of 4 inches and the larger gear's radius is 7 inches. What is the angle through which the larger gear has rotated when the smaller gear has made one complete rotation?
Solution: Because the blue gear performs one complete rotation, the length of the arc traveled is:
So the angle is approximately 3.6 radians.
Example C
The radius of a standard car tire is 27.94 cm. How far does a car go in one revolution of the tire?
Solution: Since the distance traveled by the tire is equal to the distance around the tire, we can use the circumference of the tire to answer the question.
Arc: An arc is a length segment measured around the circumference of a circle.
Guided Practice
2. If an object with a radius of 10 cm spins so that its arc covers 54 cm, what is the change in angle of the object?
The disk moves 5.4 radians, which is a little less than a complete rotation, since a complete rotation is approximately 6.28 radians.
A point on the disk turns 7.065 inches.
Concept Problem Solution
The radius of a carousel is 8 meters. Use this information to answer questions 1-3.
- You are half way around the carousel. How far did you travel?
- You are all the way around the carousel. How far did you travel?
- You have now traveled all the way around the carousel twice. How far did you travel?
A pizza has a radius of 10in. Use this information to answer questions 4-6.
- A slice is removed. The length of the crust of the missing slice is 3in. What is the central angle of the missing slice?
- You eat three pieces with a central angle of
4π5. What is the length of the crust you ate?
- A large pizza has a radius of 12in. What is the length of the crust of half of the large pizza?
The diameter of a tire is 35in. Use this information to answer questions 7-10.
- What is the length around the whole tire?
- The tire travels one mile (5280 ft). How many revolutions did the tire make?
- You roll the tire so it rotates
7πradians. How far did it move?
- The tire travels half a mile. How many radians did the tire rotate?
Consider a standard 12 hour clock like the one below with a radius of 5 inches. Use this to answer questions 11-15.
- What is the length of the arc between the 3 and the 7?
- What is the length of the arc between the 3 and the 2?
- It is 12:30. What is the length of the arc between the minute and hour hands?
- It is 7:20. What is the length of the arc between the minute and hour hands?
- It is 1:25. What is the length of the arc between the minute and hour hands?

From collection kettles to toy drives to end-of-the-year tax deductions, the spirit of the holidays means giving to favorite causes and to those less fortunate. American charities receive one-third of their annual donations during the holiday season.
With that in mind, several charities started Giving Tuesday to follow the busy shopping weekend after Thanksgiving (Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday). Giving Tuesday falls on November 29 this year.
We will look back 25, 50, 75, and 99 years to capture glimpses of what was happening in Bullitt County in each of these years. Today we will focus on the month of November.
1991 - 25 Years Ago.
Lori Mann laughed as Julie Adams, who had recently lost her two front teeth, resorted to using her fingers while bobbing for apples at the St. Aloysius carnival. John Roberts took the picture.
Say what?
What does that headline mean?
It means that Bullitt County is flirting with something that shouldn't happen.
For some unknown reason, Bullitt County officials seem to want to dance in a very dangerous arena.
First, it has taken months to determine whether it would hire another electrical inspector or pay a retired employee to come back to work.
A day before Thanksgiving Eve, and at computer: Frazzled Steve.
A longer weekend, hopes to leave, but must complete thine annual jaunt.
Struggling hard to find some words while dreaming 'bout the tasty birds,
A meal awaits, with family nerds who, all about thine job, will taunt.
Thou digress - the work awaits. "'Tis hunger tricks," my mind doth haunt.
Turkey sandwich, thou doth want.
Best that I try to remember, all those stories in November
Thank God that our folks who were not all happy with the outcome of the election did not react like many in nation by disrupting the lives of their fellow man by seizing the streets protesting. If life gives you a lemon, make lemonade, for 4 days and nights they have disrupted our nation apparently they never work or go to school to improve their lifestyle. Instead of being negative look at what they could have done for our nation, volunteering to clean up their neighborhoods.
On behalf of the Bullitt Co. Sheriff's Office we would like to thank Everyone who supported our D.A.R.E. Chili Supper.
You may have made a donation for the raffle, gave money or just came and ate. Your generosity was greatly appreciated. Without the support of the community, we could not have the D.A.R.E program. We would also like to thank the First Baptist Church for the use of their hall, the Bullitt Co. Women's Club and the employees of the Sheriff's Office.
Parents: PAY ATTENTION!
A recent article in the New York Times noted recent statistics showing that children aged 10 to 14 (roughly the ages of our middle school students) are as likely to die from suicide as from traffic accidents.
There is no acceptable rate of death for children, but the article points out that death among that age group is pretty rare for all causes.
Even so, traffic accidents used to account for four times more deaths than suicide back in 1999. Now, it is almost the same.
Emergency protective orders are an integral part of the Circuit Clerk's office.
Earlier in 2016, we were notified by the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) that Bullitt County was one of the counties chosen to implement electronic emergency protective orders.
Grant money was available to take Bullitt County to the next level of service to the public.

What is a string? When you want something to show up EXACTLY how you want it... Go with a string.
A string is the thing in quotes (Single quotes or double quotes, it doesn't matter as long as it's consistent).
"HELLO HI HOW ARE YOU" ==> is a string
HELLO HI HOW ARE YOU ==> is a big fat error.

Jameis Winston and Football's Masculinity Machine
Read More.
How many second chances is a Heisman winner worth?
Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston will be suspended for the first half of Saturday's game against Clemson for shouting "offensive and vulgar" comments while standing on a table in the student union. The NSFW comments referenced an Internet meme and were of an aggressive, sexual nature.
While many fellow students and members of the sports media are understandably weary of yet another demonstration of Winston's lack of maturity, others are dismissing the comments under the guise of free speech and the predictable foolishness of a college student. Mike Greenberg of ESPN's "Mike & Mike in the Morning" dismissed the incident as Winston acting "like the 20-year-old kid he is," while a female FSU student told USA Today, "Jameis is unfairly viewed under a microscope and scrutinized for every mistake he makes. We often forget that he is a college student and he is learning who he is as a person."
Forgetting that this isn't just any college student, that this is the face of his school who stands to make millions when he enters the pros, his defenders also need to consider that this is just the latest in a pattern of Winston's erratic behavior. There was the bizarre crab-leg shoplifting incident back in May that resulted in Winston's suspension from the FSU baseball team. After that, football head coach Jimbo Fisher told Fox Sports' Bruce Feldman that he believed Winston had learned his lesson and would make more adult decisions going forward, a rather optimistic assessment.
Of course, the most infamous blemish on Winston's record is the alleged rape of a 19-year-old FSU student, for which no charges were brought after an impressively botched investigation. Now the subject of a federal Title IX investigation, you'd think Winston would try harder to avoid making belligerent statements degrading to women, at least in public.
But Winston has no motivation to grow up, at least on his current path toward being the top pick in next year's draft. (It would be a pathetic statement on college football if the only thing that causes Winston to change his ways is the tut-tutting of the professional draft prognosticators.) And it definitely doesn't help that people continue to make excuses for him, giving him a pass for exhibiting the poor judgment of a 20-year-old. That's just a thinly veiled version of the "boys will be boys" trope, a reductionist credo used to excuse senseless, often violent behavior as part of men's nature.
As college football Hall of Famer and feminist advocate Don McPherson repeatedly notes, this narrow definition of masculinity is as damaging to women as it is to the men to which it's ascribed. It's also particularly prevalent in football, where the frat-boy, locker-room culture that resulted in the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal was explained away as the consequence of everyday male interaction. It's also at least partly to blame for the NFL's crises on domestic violence and child abuse, both phenomena of unchecked aggression stemming from a limited view of what it means to exert male authority.
As long as we keep promoting the notion that boys will be boys, men such as Jameis Winston will continue to enter the adult world with the same juvenile sense of male entitlement they exhibit in college. For all the talk of football's culture crisis, it's actually part of a broader dyanamic involving gender constructs that starts well before adulthood, college, or even high school. After serving his first-half suspension, Winston will return to business as usual -- as someone whose lack of judgment and maturity are excused because he throws a tight spiral.

The five Guantanamo prisoners charged with plotting the 11 September attacks made a dramatic joint appeal yesterday for a military judge to accept their confessions in full.
The men, who include the alleged mastermind of the attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, are directly challenging the US to execute them.
The men's eventual execution is certain to be portrayed as a martyrdom by their supporters, and if it goes ahead would deny the US the opportunity of describing in full their crimes.
What was expected to be a routine hearing yesterday was transformed when the judge, Colonel Steven Henley, revealed that the men had handed in a statement declaring that they planned "to announce our confessions".
Judge Henley suggested that he would not accept guilty pleas without formal proceedings. He then began questioning each of the men to assess if they agreed with the statement.
"We don't want to waste our time with motions," Mr Mohammed told the judge. "All of you are paid by the US government. I'm not trusting any American." For months the men have been resisting working with the military lawyers assigned to them.
Relatives of the victims are at the court this week and some said they were relieved the judge had not immediately accepted the guilty pleas.
"I'm proud that the commission is not taking the bait," said Alice Hoagland, whose son was killed in the attacks. Ms Hoagland was among the first group of relatives allowed into the court.

The travel company's apps have been downloaded more than 20 million times, it reports.
Online hotel booking company Booking.com shows just how fast consumer use of mobile devices is growing worldwide. The total value of hotel bookings made via Booking.com's mobile commerce site and apps in 2012 surpassed $3 billion, triple the $1 billion in 2011, the web travel company reports.
These bookings were made through the travel firm's m-commerce site for smartphones, iPhone app, Android smartphone app, iPad app and through its e-commerce site accessed on tablets. The apps have been downloaded more than 20 million times during the last three years, Booking.com says. The apps are available in 26 different languages.
"Our customers want the same, simple and seamless booking experience that we developed for the desktop on all their devices—and we're making sure they get it," says CEO Darren Huston. "Once they are signed into their accounts, all their credit card details, searches, favorites and booking information will be securely accessible from the cloud. This allows our customers to book faster and have all their important information readily available, whether they are at home, in the office or on the move."
Booking.com, part of the Priceline Group, lets travelers reserve rooms at more than 290,000 hotels in 180 countries, features over 18.5 million reviews written by guests after their stay, and attracts online visitors from both leisure and business markets around the globe, the company says.
More than 70% of mobile travel site and app users book travel from home, while only 12% are on the go, finds customer satisfaction measurement firm ForeSee. The remaining 18% breaks down as follows:13% book on mobile from work, 2% from school, 1% from a store and 2% from other locations. 43% of mobile travel site and app users are researching and 23% are booking, according to ForeSee's "Mobile Satisfaction Index: Travel Edition," a survey of 6,000 travel mobile site and app users. 21% are searching for promotions, 10% are checking rewards status and 3% are performing other tasks.

In Search of the Obvious by Jack Trout
Book DescriptionThis is the first book that states the obvious: Marketing is a mess. Marketing guru Jack Trout intends to make a lot of people, who made the mess, very uncomfortable: Advertisers are criticized as people who look for the creative and edgy, not the obvious. They will not be happy. Marketing people are criticized for getting hopelessly entangled in corporate egos and complicated projects. They will not be happy. Research people are criticized for generating more confusion than clarity. They will not be happy. Some big companies are criticized for their ill-fated marketing programs or lack of proper strategy. They will not be happy. Wall Street is criticized for putting too much emphasis on growth that is unnecessary and can be destructive to a brand. They will just ignore this criticism and continue trying to make as much money as they can. But this is a book not written to make people happy but to explain to marketers what their real problem is. Only then will they begin to look for the obvious solutions that will separate their products from their competitors -- in a way that is equally obvious to customers. All this comes with no jargon, no numbers, no complexity, and a great deal of common sense.
