Some in adolescence
Sometimes, but only a few of the symptoms (below five)
Yes, and most of the symptoms (five and up)
This is a discussion on BPD and INTJ within the INTJ Forum - The Scientists forums, part of the NT's Temperament Forum- The Intellects category; Originally Posted by Accendo Not to derail the thread or anything, but I can't resist INTJ-ing for a moment. That's ...
I'm not saying INTJ's have BPD inherently, I'm asking if there seems to be a predisposition.
Comments are very much appreciated, as is constructive criticism. This isn't exactly "thorough" in any way (after all, it is a poll restricted to one website and one forum-thing -INTJ-) its merely to satisfy my own personal musings.
I did read the feminist argument against it, and it certainly does hold some weight. I've also read that INTJ's are more prone to personality/anxiety disorders. Not sure how true that is, but that is somewhat the point of this forum.
Maybe I'll post a similiar thread in ohh... say... ENFJ or ENTJ.
BPD has a lot of behaviours here that have not been laid out for people to fully grasp which have to be taken into account as well.
- frantic efforts to avoid real or perceived abandonment
- pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships, characterized by alternating between idealization and devaluation ("love-hate" relationships)
- extreme, persistently unstable self-image and sense of self
- impulsive behavior in at least two areas (such as spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating)
- recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or recurring acts of self-mutilation (such as cutting or burning oneself)
- unstable mood caused by brief but intense episodes of depression, irritability, or anxiety
- chronic feelings of emptiness
- inappropriate and intense anger, or difficulty controlling anger displayed through temper outbursts, physical fights, and/or sarcasm
These traits below found in DSM V for BPD would go completely against what is typical for INTJ traits within relationships.
INTJs emotional lability? What Is Emotional Lability?
Separation insecurity
emotional lability
Interpersonal relationships I could go through nearly all of these and say hmmmm that could be normal for anyone or give analysis to how they aren't typical INTJ traits.
- intolerance of aloneness
- abandonment, engulfment, annihilation fears
- counterdependency
- stormy relationships
- manipulativeness
- dependency
- devaluation
- masochism/sadism
- demandingness
- entitlement
This is a rare disorder. There are approx 2% of the general population who suffer this.
around 80% of the sufferers are female (taken from different sites easily found on google).
There are only 0.005 to 1.5 sometimes estimations stretch to 2% of population of INTJ women. This has no relevance to any argument....just wanted to put those numbers out there...

oh okay makes sense. Yeah, good point.
The root of my question comes from looking up the symptoms and observing that a lot of those occur in my life, although most of them not to the extreme extent that would be necessary or a diagnosis.
And I appreciate the point that the DSM-IV is extremely flawed. Can't believe I nearly overlooked that. Yea,lets hope they fix that with DSM V.
Also I read a similiar thread at one point that made a case for the prevalence of schizoid and anxiety and personality disorders in INTJ's. This may be true, and it may not be. Other personality types may have a predisposition to other disorders, or similiar disorders that present differently (for some reason I know a lot of ENFJs and INFJs with serious panic disorders).
This is logical enough, a certain personality may be more likely to develop a disorder based solely on the characterizations of that personality.
I highly doubt that this is provable though, you would likely only be able to show a correlation.
When I first saw the title I thought it was Bipolar Disorder, and no I haven't ever had any Borderline symptoms.
Yep. I have Borderline Personality Disorder, and I'm an INTJ.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/5/2014 (1153 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
You may be in the unfortunate position of having significant credit card debt; an outstanding tax liability; and arrears on your automobile loan and/or mortgage. Although it is difficult to self assess your situation and seek alternatives to deal with your debt problem, the perils of not facing your debt problem early can be devastating.
The collection letters and telephone calls may eventually lead to more aggressive collection action by your creditors. Consider these possible scenarios.
At some point Canada Revenue Agency will step up the collection action against you to recover the outstanding taxes, which may include obtaining a certificate of judgment and registering the judgment against your home and your other assets. Once this occurs, you will have lost any chance of settling with CRA even through a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.
Upon registration of the judgment, CRA becomes a secured creditor, which cannot be reversed by a proposal or a bankruptcy. The equity that you have in your home becomes CRA's equity until the tax debt is paid in full.
Consider another scenario. Your high credit card debts have forced you into the debt servicing game of "paying Peter this month and Paul the next month." The result is you may have missed payments on your automobile loan. Your lender will only be patient for so long and then they may choose to enforce their security and seize the vehicle. Now you have a new problem of no means of transportation to get to your job, which may result in a loss of income.
A final scenario involves your credit card debt. Eventually, the credit card company may commence legal action against you to seek a judgment for the amounts owed. This judgment is then enforced through the seizure of funds in your bank account or a garnishee of your wages. This may affect your ability to meet your mortgage or automobile loan payments.
Any one of the above scenarios could be a trigger to the perfect storm that results in financial disaster.
This, however, need not be the case if you take a realistic look at your financial situation and look for potential solutions before disaster strikes.
Alternative solutions may include obtaining a consolidation loan to pay out the tax liability and credit card debts. This can improve your household cash flow such that you will be able to meet your mortgage and automobile loan payments.
If a consolidation loan is not possible, you may wish to consider filing a proposal under the BIA to compromise your debts or extend the time period to pay your debt to CRA and your credit card debt. This would have to be filed before CRA obtains and registers its certificate of judgment against your home.
The final alternative that you may have to consider is a bankruptcy. Again, this would have to be filed before CRA registers a certificate of judgment to provide you with the relief from this debt burden.
Facing your debt problems is difficult but the earlier you take this step the better off you will be financially in the short and long term. Your financial advisor or a trustee in bankruptcy would be able to provide you with an assessment of your financial affairs and provide you with alternatives to resolve your debt problem.

How to Email Photos Directly from Lightroom
Starting with Lightroom 4, you can email photos directly from Lightroom rather than having to export jpegs to your hard drive, and then outside of Lightroom, attach them to your email. It has some limitations that I'll discuss, but I find that it often saves me a lot of time. Instructions in this article apply to Lightroom 5, CC and 6 as well as 4. Select one or more photos that you want to email, from the filmstrip in any module in Lightroom or from the grid in the Library module, then right-click inside one of the selected photos and choose Email Photos.

Adobe Releases Lightroom 4 with Dramatically Lower Pricing!
Adobe announced tonight the official release of Lightroom 4.

White distressed furnitures in a Mid Century?
We are in the process of putting an offer for a Mid Century home. I do not like Mid Century homes. I do not like minimalism and modern furnitures. It's so cold and uninviting. It may look sleek, but I have never really taken a liking to modern furnitures. So why are we considering it? My husband loves the floor to ceiling windows and.... the pool. And the price is a steal. But he's a guy who wouldn't think twice about hanging surfing photo from a magazine spread on the wall.
The interior needs make over. The previous owner was insane! Every room in the house has a different flooring (bamboo, wood, laminate, etc). The walls in the bathrooms are painted yellow, purple.... The fireplaces are painted red and blue. The counter tops in the kitchen are of different materials. It's a nightmare.... but also a great chance to re-decorate.
Since we live close to the beach, I want more of a beach cottage decor. I love the kitchen in "Somethings Gotta Give". I want to re-do the whole kitchen in that style --- white cupboards, white brick subway tile back splash, dark wood floors. Our dining table and furniture all have that antique white distressed look.
That is, paint it all white and add built-in book shelves and white distressed country looking furniture. Can I further add a deck or porch?
Porch and French doors were a no no.
Should we walk away from this home? or can we get away with decorating a midcentury home with white distressed furnitures? Please help!!
You can do just about anything you want in your own house. Witness what the former owners did! Did you decide on the house? Post some pics!
I think if you like the home or can at least live with its basic design, and you are getting a great price? Go for it.
I would find an interior designer you can get along with and have some fun. I think you will enjoy the experience and working with a designer need not be anymore expensive than doing it alone. Designers often draw most of their income from what they buy for you. They will have access to things you will never have. You will get exactly what you want. You may actually find you save money working with a designer and essentially buying at wholesale or trade prices rather than your best deal off retail.
That said, I worked mainly on antique homes older than mid-century. I sort of cringed when clients ventured too far from what the home was and went with approaches that were obviously out of character with the house. Again, a designer can help you alot in this regard.
Ask around. Some furniture stores or department stores that sell furnishing have designers on staff. I have always worked with those who are independent myself. The American Society of Interior Designers is one resource you might tap for their members in your area.

A Manic But Tasty Dinner at Casablanca Seafood Bar & Grill
Grouper ceviche at Casablanca Seafood Bar & Grill.
Photo by Jacquelynn D. Powers
One of the ironies of living in Miami is there are very few waterfront restaurants. There are even fewer places where you can pull up by boat. Though the Miami River has several waterfront dining options, the view is more warehouse chic than bayfront posh.
Nevertheless, Short Order was recently invited aboard a friend's Sea Ray for dinner. The sunset boat ride from South Beach was stunning, with a pink hue hitting the water as the sun went down. We decided to stop at Casablanca Seafood Bar & Grill for dinner.
It was easy enough to pull up; one of the waiters even helped us tie up the boat. Later, we realized all of the waiters pull double-duty in one way or another at this casual seafood eatery. Within seconds, we were seated outside, nibbling on complimentary fish dip and sipping a free shot of chilled white wine.
The whole meal went quickly. Never have I felt so rushed
at a restaurant. Our waiter was running from table to table in
Roadrunner style. He was covering about ten tables, half of which were
inside the restaurant. And he was sweating. Profusely. All of the
waiters were sweating, which is not so attractive for someone serving food.
grouper ceviche came out at breakneck speed, too. It was a tasty blend of
citrus-marinated local grouper with cilantro, aji amarillo sauce, and
roast corn. We also ordered the grouper steak and flame-grilled
langoustines (which were overcooked and really tough). The fish is superfresh here, though, because the owners, the Sanchez family, have been
fishing for three generations. They opened the restaurant in 2007.
Plus Casablanca has nightly specials, and because it was Wednesday, we
were offered all-you-can-eat free oysters.
we hadn't made a dent in our second glass of wine by the time our check
arrived via our still-sweating waiter. The meal, all told, was ordered,
served, and cleared within 30 minutes. Which is great if you are in a
rush. That's not so fabulous if you want to enjoy the dining
experience. The boat ride over actually took longer than dinner.
while the food was excellent (minus the overcooked langoustines) and
the freebies were greatly appreciated, the vibe was too frantic. Slow down, guys.

If you need some extra hands and your buddy can't make it for a hunt, maybe I could fill in. Experienced sea ducker in the open ocean, brant caller, and like shooting buffs with my 20 ga. Have some buff and brant decoys and even scoter sleds to use as well; just that I'll be in Ct. near New Haven the 21st through the 1st and my boats are laid up elsewhere.
Shucks, would even go out to a preserve if I knew where one was, but gunning alone isn't that much fun.

Milne's High School
Pupil Roll - 439 as at
16 September 2015
Annual School Census - 16 September 2015
Milne's High School was established in 1846 as a result of the generosity and benevolence of Alexander Milne who wished to see educational opportunities for young people becoming available in his home town of Fochabers. This building is now home to Milne's Primary School. The secondary school is now based in a building on an open site on the south side of Fochabers. The school is set on a very attractive site with its own extensive playing fields immediately accessible from the buildings. The area has been landscaped and is surrounded by trees. The buildings were constructed in phases between 1981 and 1989 when the school moved to its current site. A central teaching and management block is linked to other teaching areas of the school. Other teaching areas are housed in 2-storey blocks, and a fourth block contains music and physical education facilities as well as the assembly hall and the social area/dining area.

Opinion: CA Shouldn't Wait for SCOTUS To Overturn Prop 8
Maybe it is a free country, after all. Slowly, but surely, we march toward that ideal.
Tuesday, The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco on a 2-to-1 vote, upheld a lower federal court ruling, which had declared California's controversial Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. The matter is now expected to travel to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Proposition 8 was a voter-passed initiative which made it illegal for gays and lesbians to get married. The law also meant that California could not legally recognize same-sex marriages from anywhere else, including Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Canada, Spain, and so on and so forth.
I went to law school at Berkeley and broke into journalism in Los Angeles. I started my career as a clerk in the California Supreme Court and so was uniquely disappointed, but not surprised, by the opinion of that court, back in 2009, that upheld Prop. 8. Those state court justices were loath to overturn a decision made by a majority (however slim) of voters.
Prop. 8, as you may recall, came about in response to the decision by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsome to issue marriage licenses to any couples that applied - gay or straight. Conservatives rallied against that magnanimous gesture, with their mean-spirited response – Prop Hate.
In my humble opinion, the California initiative process is a cop-out. It relieves lawmakers of the responsibility of making the difficult decisions they were sent to Sacramento to make, and it leaves the public holding the bag containing the really tough questions. But it's not too late, on Prop 8. While the courthouse battle continues and is likely to take another several years, perhaps the action of our leaders in New York, where legislators and the governor demonstrated the courage of their convictions can serve as an example for California and the rest of a nation that has yet to step into the 21st Century.
California has always been a leader on civil rights and liberties - leading the free speech movement in the 1960s; the first state to send two women to the Senate; the world leader on the environment. But history will show Prop Hate to be an ugly and inconsistent blemish on California's progressive record.
In California, a state in which voters make much of the law through statewide referendum, the legislature has remained silent. It is time for the leaders to speak up. It is time for the people to rise up. It is time for Californians reverse the ugliness of this moment in history.
California need not wait for the U.S. Supreme Court to tell us what we already know about the rights of citizens in a democracy. Californians should do the right thing and give all citizens of the Golden State equal rights under the law.

DICE Silverline Duo and Z4M
It looks like the long-running DICE support thread is closed, so I'm posting here in hopes that someone has done a similar install.
I just installed a new DICE Silverline DUO unit in my 2007 Z4M. I found the 3 and 6 pin connectors in the trunk and attached them to the DICE unit, along with my 5th generation iPod (firmware v1.3). The connection seems to work and I get song, artist, playlist, etc. info on my radio and can scroll through them. However, I get no audio. I tried accessing the DICE settings menu and cranking up the volume to max (31, I think), but still no sound.
Also, when in iPod mode the radio displays the "TEL" indicator on the lower left where it should say "CDC" (for CD Changer), as if the radio was muted while the (Bluetooth) phone is in use. This puzzled me, so I tried pushing the "R/T" button on the steering wheel to cycle the system. Then the "CDC" indicator came on, but there was no iPOD functionality and still no sound. When I cycled through the inputs again, the iPOD mode returned, but again with no audio.
This car has BMW assist w/ Bluetooth, but as far as I can tell it does not have a (digital) DSP unit. My research online as well as the Bavarian Soundwerks site also seem to indicate that Z4Ms do not require a DSP adapter. And for that matter, I did not see a coax cable in the trunk that would be hooked up to a DSP adapter. So I doubt that's the issue.
I also tried another iPOD, but with exactly the same results. I have also tried the official reset process (i.e., disconnect the car battery, hold the + and - leads together, wait a while and reconnect the battery, etc.), and it has not helped.
Has anyone encountered a similar situation and found a fix? Thanks in advance.

Letters to the Editor - Hawaii Editorials
There are 70 comments on the Honolulu Star-Bulletin story from Nov 5, 2009, titled Letters to the Editor - Hawaii Editorials. In it, Honolulu Star-Bulletin reports that:Nancy Gordon reflects the sentiment of several recent nincompoops writing about the teachers taking furloughs to offset budget shortfalls .

"Wouldn't it be easier to run for a higher office by not taking on anything controversial?"
Well maybe, unless you are being backed and funded by all the people and groups who will make a fortune off the rail project......at taxpayer expense of course.
#2 Nov 6, 2009
Samson Hirotomi's letter is incorrect.
Instead of applauding, you should be booing mufi, his crony contractors, letter writing architects, p.r. mouth jobs and the rest of your sycophants feeding at the public trough of this make work project for the politically connected that we, the Tax Payers, cannot afford.
You advocate mufi shoving this extravagant luxury we don't need RIGHT NOW, down our throats "even if it damages his political career."
That's right, it has and will cause "damages (to) his political career" as you acknowledge.
Tyrants can always count on lolos like you to idolize them, and mufi surrounds himself with such yes-men and hostesses.(See former KSBE hostess Elisa Yadao, and her walking off with $500,000 CASH for printing shiney brochures to "promote rail." Yadao worked on mufi's campaign too as a "volunteer" too.)
You are like cattle on the way to slaughter.
Eh, Hirotomi, taxes and fees went UP under mufi to offset monies funneled into the pockets of those profiting off of your stupidity.

Here they come -- Mufi haters willie and Hirotomia O. As ever, they're so fixated on the object of their hatred that they can't see who the real winners will be when the rail project is completed: commuters who today have no choice but to devote hours in their cars sitting in congestion.
Just once, willie and Hiro: lift yourself out of Attack Mode and see rail for what it is -- a lifestyle-enhancing, traffic-avoiding, economy-stimulating good thing. Can you do that?
Didn't think so.
#5 Nov 6, 2009
Spoken like a true union guy.
#6 Nov 6, 2009
Apparently Kirk Caldwell is now calling himself Samson Hirotomi. Nice one Captain Kirk!
#7 Nov 6, 2009
Sure thing. All one has to do is read current events. Take a gander at the mass transit situation in Philidelphia. I really do want to ditch my car and depend totally on rail only to have the union minions grab me by the short hairs and go out on strike. I really would not mind burning up all my vacation time because I can no longer get to work on the rail.....assuming of course I live within walking distance of a station and my job is within walking distance of a station.
As to "economy-stimulating " leave the 5 billion in the hands of the taxpayers and you will stimulate the economy far more than handing it to the folks who may or may not spend it in Hawaii.
Have a great day.....I know I will watching them struggle to fix the water main break...funny how we can't maintain what we have and yet folks want to build a white elephant that will cost hundreds of millions a year to subsidize and maintain.
#8 Nov 6, 2009
In response to Mark Hanson, I do not blame teachers, I blame your union for making the terms of the agreement have the most negative impact on the students. The goal of the union appears to be to make the result so negative on the children that the Legislature will ride in on their white horse and create money where it does not exist. It is not going to happen and the teachers should take out their frustration on their union leadership at their first opportunity.
Carrières-sur-seine, France
#9 Nov 6, 2009
So, willie -- let me get this straight. Because there's a transit strike in Philadelphia, Honolulu dare not build rail? Can't quite get my arms around that. And if Northwest or United go on strike (as they sometimes do), we shouldn't improve our airport in Honolulu?
This tendency to extrapolate from an isolated event to reach conclusions about what we should or shouldn't do really can't pass the logic test.
No doubt that building big expensive high-tech things require money to operate and maintain....but if you have a way to help commuters avoid the gridlock on the H-1 twice a day AND do so without spending any money, by all means, tell us what it is.
BTW, if somebody you rely on goes on strike, figure a way around it until the strike's over! It's called having alternatives -- like rail will be to driving 3 mph on the freeway morning and night.
#10 Nov 6, 2009
The rail will never be built as their will be several groups that will tie it up in court on a enviromental basis. The idiocy of this project is beyond words and Mufi and his cronies are thugs plain and simple.Its the same rational for building "dog parks" while our homeless situation increases...wheres the rational?
#11 Nov 6, 2009
There are more than two airlines serving Hawaii and last I checked will only be ONE rail line (thank goodness). Anyone with half a brain knows the unions own the islands and have an iron fist. They HAVE to be considered in the overall scheme of things.
BTW, when did 200 year old technology suddenly become "high tech" ? Railroads been around a LONG time in case you just fell off the turnip truck.
Let me see, avoid grid lock...well you could start with having a few lanes dedicated to car pools...get most of the single rider cars off the road. Next would be a serious limit on new growth of any kind. Need more housing, rehab EXISTING houses rather thna buikld a 5 bilion dollar rail line to a plot of ground so you can add 12,000 NEW houses to an already overcrowded island.
Rail, for what it will cost and the way it is planned is NOT going to reduce congestion at all..in case you missed that tiny fact..it was never touted to in any case....

E. J.Conboy should get off his partisan soapbox. Nobody I know is blaming the governor for the economic mess. For that, you need to go all the way back to Reagan whose supply side economics opened the door for corporate greed to fester and grow. Lingle, however must answer for the way the mess has been handled. In the summer of 08, she, along with Bush, McCain and other Republicans believed that the economy was "fundamentally sound". She hit the campaign trail with the presidential hopeful and was gone from our state for three weeks. We know what happened just a few weeks later. Fast forward to the state contract "renegotiations". Lingle's "negotiations" consisted of sending Laderta to to table with one offer - FURLOUGHS. There was no compromise. She gets her furloughs and the unexpected public outcry has her tryibng to spin the deal to blame the teachers and their union. Try to see the big picture.
#14 Nov 6, 2009
People are really STUPID. For those living out in west Oahu or the Leeward-Kapolei-Waianae-Waipah u area, this rail will be a blessing just as much as the H-1, H-2, & H-3 has helped to relieved much congestion. Try imagine Oahu w/o the Pali & Wilson tunnels or all H HIGHWAYS....IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MONUMENTAL MESS or when the arterial highway aka H-1 was first built in the mid-fifties and people were displaced but it has facilitated traffic even though there are more congestion now what would it be w/o these new transportation pathways. Yes, it costs monies, and yes, like anything else, there will be delays, overruns, etc...etc....grumblings etc....but in the long run when its completed, it will definitely be a blessing in disguise. I'm paying my taxes just like everybody else probably more than everybody else but I see a need for this venue unlike YOU SHORTSIGHTED IDIOTS. If you don't like it, move to west Oahu and enjoy your commute to Honolulu everyday.

Willie: your quote: "BTW, when did 200 year old technology suddenly become "high tech" ? Railroads been around a LONG time in case you just fell off the turnip truck."
Response: Guess you haven't heard about computer-controlled driver-less trains....
Your quote: "Let me see, avoid grid lock...well you could start with having a few lanes dedicated to car pools...get most of the single rider cars off the road. Next would be a serious limit on new growth of any kind. Need more housing, rehab EXISTING houses rather thna buikld a 5 bilion dollar rail line to a plot of ground so you can add 12,000 NEW houses to an already overcrowded island.
Response: Now THAT's an idea that's never been tried -- car pools! Continued reliance on the car...and build more highways to accommodate car pools....just amazingly unoriginal thinking. Re one-child or no-child families or whatever means you have to curtail growth: Ain't gonna happen. Society provides for the next generation, and the next and the next. Oahu's continued growth will come from inside, not from immigration. Or maybe you just want to mandate young families live in rehab homes... Hey, draconian measures work in Singapore; maybe they'll work in Hawaii, too!
Your quote: "Rail, for what it will cost and the way it is planned is NOT going to reduce congestion at all..in case you missed that tiny fact..it was never touted to in any case...." At least you have that last part right; rail was never touted to "solve" traffic, but you got the rest wrong. Rail WILL reduce congestion from what it would grow to without rail. It'll leave more lanes for the turnip trucks.

Please name a city, anywhere in the world,which;
1) Had a traffic problem
2) Built rail
3) No longer had a traffic problem (especially at commute times)
Fact is there is none.
Rail never improves traffic.
It actually worsens it by doing what it is really intended to do,... that is to allow more development, more housing, more people, more cars.
That enriches the developers and the Unions.
But it NEVER solves traffic problems.
It makes traffic worse.

It is too bad that people in this section can't stick to the facts. Personal attacks on people and even on people you do not agree with are unwarranted. If something is missing in your life that you feel you must sit an attack (anonomously) people who are trying to do what is best for the people (as evidenced by the vote that was taken last year)- they should maybe find a hobby or something constructive.
Facts are whether you like the Mayor or not at least he is not one of those politicians who leads as the wind blows. You know those types who never get anything done, never do anything controversal and after 8 years in office have no accomplishments to show for it.
I salute the Mayor for standing alone for a project that my fellow neighbors on the west side are screaming for because it is needed.
Please throw solutions not stones.

Poi, you're using the old Cliff Slater argument: show me one city where traffic has been reduced when transit's been built. There are none -- but not because of Cliff's and your assertion that rail's a failure. It's because city populations grow! Of course traffic gets worse. But guess what: without rail transit, there's no alternative to sitting in that traffic.
So you're absolutely right. Rail never solves traffic problems....but I have to chuckle at your assertion that it makes traffic worse. Families having babies makes traffic worse; continued reliance on cars without an alternative makes traffic worse.
Just go inquire of the millions who commute by rail transit around the world whether it works or not. There's no question about it.

The quality of your rail critique is unremarkable.
#21 Nov 6, 2009
Please don't disrespect people's views as I am sure you wouldn't want anyone disrepecting yours. It is clear Mr. Hirotomi took the time to write this letter.
Thank you Spock Carslile for your views.
#22 Nov 6, 2009
Sure, here is a nice news story about one, there are tons more shall I dredge them up too?
I never said build more roads turnip...just make better use of the CURRENT ones.
Here is a novel idea for you, have the people who will benefit from rail pay for rail, like the builders of those new subdivisions, the riders etc...also, charge what it actually will cost to run and maintain it...even if it turns out to be $20 one way...you like THAT idea?

KUALA LUMPUR: The Genting group, which has been eyeing the growing influx of Chinese and other Asian tourists to Las Vegas, yesterday announced a US$350 million (RM1.08 billion) acquisition of an 87-acre site on the Strip in Las Vegas where it plans to build a US$2 billion casino called Resorts World Las Vegas.
The site, identified as Echelon, was bought from two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Boyd Gaming Corp and is described as one of the last areas for setting up a large casino along the Strip.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the Malaysian casino giant said the 87-acre freehold land came together with a partially completed central energy facility and other structures bought from Echelon Resorts LLC (Echelon) and Coast Hotels and Casinos Inc (Coast) — both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Boyd Gaming Corp — for a total consideration of US$350 million (US$4 million an acre).
The Echelon site, with a considerable frontage along South Las Vegas Boulevard, comes with a full entitlement to apply for a non-restricted gaming licence.
The initial phase of Resorts World Las Vegas will include 3,500 rooms and 175,000 sq ft of total gaming space across several floors plus convention centres and several luxury dining and retail amenities.
The resort, with a unique Chinese impression, is expected to open in 2016.
In its filing, Genting said the acquisition of the Echelon site, at a significant discount to the independently appraised value, represents a good opportunity for the Genting group to enter the Las Vegas market which is in the midst of a recovering US economy.
"We are incredibly grateful to the leaders of the State of Nevada, Clark County and the City of Las Vegas for joining us in announcing what will be a fantastic addition to the top resort destination in the United States," said Genting chairman and CEO Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay in a statement yesterday.
Originally, Boyd Gaming Corp had a project to develop a US$4.8 billion resort on the same site. But construction was halted in August 2008.
The expansion into Las Vegas marks Genting's further diversification of its gaming business away from Malaysia.
It owns about 52% of Genting Singapore Ltd and 18% of Genting Hong Kong Ltd which houses Resorts World Manila.
Resorts World Sentosa alone produced RM7.2 billion in gaming revenues in 2012, which is about a third of what the Strip in Las Vegas collected in gaming revenues last year.
Resorts World New York opened in October 2011. In 2012, Resorts World New York reported gaming revenue of more than RM852.9 million, while its US$3.8 billion Resorts World Miami project was downsized last year due to Florida's gaming legislation.
Genting sold its Kuala Langat power plant to 1Malaysia Development Bhd for RM2.3 billion cash last year. The group's cash balance stood at RM21.2 billion as at Dec 31, 2012. It is clear that it has the resources to fund the project in Las Vegas.

Democrats and the Obama White House are taking aim at the Town Hall Protesters? Lets see what they never used to have a problem with...
Lets start off with Hillary Clinton:
"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration (Bush) somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration."
Code Pink Protesters BLOCKING Marines Recuiting Station in Berkeley
Condi Rice gets confronted by a protester with Bloody hands to screams of "war criminal"
Columbia University students rush the stage during Minuteman speech
Petraeus gets interrupted by the "manufactured anger" of the anti-war Protesters
Bush mock-arrest in the middle of a highway (Unbelievable)
Bush gettting shouted down in Monticello by "Impeach" crowd (one protester rushes towards the stage)
"An angry mob" makes a 20ft. blow up doll of Bush and launch hundreds of shoes at it
Cindy Sheehan (Loved by the left) marches to Bush's house in Dallas with Protesters and calls him a "Mass Murderer"
And who could forget the 2004 RNC Convention in NYC, here the vid starts out with a "mob's"chants of "Foxnews Sucks," effigys of Bush, and Caskets rolling through downtown..

Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you're a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on one pitch.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled 'Please note'.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

I did not imagine printing a story concerning Newt Gingrich which praised any idea he could propose for this nation. However, Newt decided to go spacy and urge launching a new space program that would send humans to a base on the Moon by 2020. If elected, he may not provide jobs to Americans residing in the United States of America, but he guarantees a job on the Moon for anyone voting for him. "By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American." He forsees "activities that include science, tourish and manufacturing."
I find surprising that Newt wants to send illegal aliens to the Moon but opposes allowing illegal immigrants to arrive in the USA. Anyway, for a political party which is so concerned about illegal folk in this nation, it is pleasant to know they really want to send illegal Mexican people to the Moon!

ROME — "When did you first know he was a saint?" It's a question Joaquin Navarro-Valls gets often and especially now, in the days surrounding the canonization of his former boss, now St. John Paul II. Navarro-Valls served as press director for the Holy See during JPII's pontificate, and speaking to Catholic communicators at a conference at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross here, he remembers "the first time I saw him pray."
"A person who prayed the way he did could not not be a saint," Navarro-Valls recalls. He was "deeply bound to God." He "didn't move, he didn't flinch" when in prayer. "Praying was a like breathing for him," Navarro-Valls adds. He remembers how JPII would stop into his chapel before and after dinner. On one particular night, he got so immersed in prayer that his typical two-minute visit became a much longer one, for which he later apologized to Navarro-Valls, who was in the chapel with the pope.
Navarro-Valls explains: "He had taken off. He was talking to someone else."
Any picture of him praying, Navarro-Valls said, "was the most eloquent expression of his inner soul."
On April 30, I attended my first papal audience since Pope Francis was elected. People had begun lining up before dawn to get a good spot, the most coveted being at the front of a barricade. There was a little something untoward about the whole thing — when the pope showed up, smartphones were raised as far as the eye could see.
But looking around, even in the crowds, even with the occasional push to the front of the crowd, there was a man thoroughly undistracted, sitting on the ground praying the rosary.
There was a couple with a newborn baby, here to pray with the Holy Father. There were the nuns, who knew the real star of the show is the savior of the world, not a pope who has become a celebrity, having for now met the favor of much of the media.
For the people I walked with the night before the canonization Mass, Jesus Christ is a guiding light in the world, their joy and hope. They lined the Via della Conciliazione, where they would stay until morning, in the hopes of making it into the square to pray with the pope. Theirs is a world of sure faith, profound witness and unfailing service.
"Every time he speaks," Austen Ivereigh, who is writing a book on Pope Francis, said during the same conference at which Navarro-Valls spoke, "the pope is making a connection with a body of people, hidden from the media, unnoticed by politics, who preserve the faithful culture."
People like these are needed now more than ever, and their example should be a light in a time of abuse scandals, increasing attacks on religious liberties and the spread of a crass, sterile culture that denigrates the dignity of life.
"We see evil is trying to find his way among us, but it can't turn us blind before the goodness, and we need to fight to keep this flame in our hearts," Father Frans van der Lugt, a Dutch Jesuit missionary, wrote just before he was murdered last month in Syria. "We feel like we are in the valley of the shadows, but we can see that light far away, leading us to life again."
Here in the West, most of us only ever have to show up in church now and again and pray — not even on cobblestones — or vote with the common good and our conscience in mind. And we don't always.
At the moment, prayer is just for Sunday, emergencies or special occasions, even as secular culture militates more and more against religious virtue. This has been our course over recent decades. But it's not enough.
It's not living the radical Gospel Christ taught. God's faithful people, inspired by a saint who stood up to the Soviet Union and seemed to have no fear, can turn this around. The flame in their hearts — if even but a glimmer in darkness — demands it and may yet serve as a beacon for others.

Cheap 3D Scanner Lets Users Easily Replicate Items
Two Brits have come up with a quick and easy way to translate real objects into extremely realistic images on screen...for a reasonable cost.
Take an object, any object. Place it in front of your computer. Scan it with the CADScan technology on your computer and marvel as a 3D model appears on your screen. It might seem surreal but UK-based Alastair Buchanan and Tony Rhoades have created an optical scanning system that allows you to do just that.
After loading the software, all users need to do is hit a button, and it will capture any item, up to 25 x 25 x 25 cm (10" x 10" x 10"), by garnering required information as it is processed and rotated 'on a turntable.' The scan should only take around 5 minutes to complete and will be accessible to both Mac and PC owners when it is fully developed. And of course, the closer an item is to the scanner, the better the on-screen model. This bodes well for professionals who work with animation and 3D modeling.
The pair, whose mutual fascination with design and tech software brought them together, began the project in 2011, after gaining funding from the UK's Technology Strategy Board and released it on Kickstarter on February 12 of this year. It looks like it will already obtain the necessary capital to proceed as interested parties have already pledged $80,000, way ahead of the target goal of $12,000 with 24 days from closing.
For a technological advance of this nature, it is also a bargain. Wannabe users don't even need to fork out $1,000 to have the software on their personal machines. As Buchanan explained,
The key to the scanner is our patent-pending scanning technology. This is what has helped us hit such a low price point. Invariably, there are some limitations as we strive to balance conflicting design requirements with a need to make the system easy-to-use, but we see this as something that will improve with future iterations of the product and technology.
If this concept piques someone's interest, donations from $7 to to $1,000 can be made on the CADScan website in return for a variety of gifts, and if it really grabs them, a $7,500 contribution will buy a trip to the UK and an in-person rendez-vous with the brains behind the software, as well as a bona-fide model to take home.

I had an annoying little problem last night - and I thought I would share my results in case someone else has the same issue. With the snow and ice we've had recently the roads have been very rough, so everything is getting shaken around pretty hard. All of a sudden yesterday I had a picture on my 700TSV, but the touchscreen wasn't responding. I could unplug it and plug it back in (to the USB port), but then it would say that a device attached to the system has malfunctioned. What I ended up doing was unplugging the harness at the monitor itself and reseating it. Works fine now, so it must have jiggled loose.

I am considering a Breast Reduction in June. I am currently a 42DDD and they are starting to wear me down. I literally went to 4 different stores to find the right size bra for me. I eventually gave up and started to order them online. I started getting scars on my shoulders from my bra cutting into my skin. At this point, my Physician thought it was time for a reduction. I put it off for too long!!! I am also having pain in my upper back with walking or standing for a long time. I decided to go with Dr. Brendan Collins at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. I am a bit nervous but enough is enough. It's definitely time!!!!
25 Year Old, Much-needed Breast Reduction - Baltimore, MD
I am considering a Breast Reduction in June. I am...
Consultation Done! Procedure scheduled!
I ended up changing my surgeon! Dr Ajay Kumar will be performing my procedure at St Agnes Hospital. Everyone else was booked up until fall. My consultation went well and I actually had to watch a video educating me about this procedure. Dr Kumar was really nice! Believe it or not the office scheduled my surgery for next Friday June 6th!!! I'm soooo nervous and scared! All of this week I'll be running around trying to get my pre-op and things I'll need to prepare!! My anxiety is at an all time high.. I just want to get through this lol! I'll keep you Posted!
Had to do another Preop/Bloodwork Done!
I'm just leaving my PCP's office for medical clearance! I can't believe it's finally happening and it's happening on Friday. I went to Labcorp to get my blood work done. I hate NEEDLES! The phlebotomist was fresh out of school. The poor girl was so nervous. She stuck me 3 times before another lady came in to assist. I am now on my way home to pay bills and spend time with my little girl!! As always, I'll keep you posted!
My Surgeon is Dr. Ajay Kumar not Dr. Collins
CORRECTION: My profile states that Dr. Brendan Collins is doing my procedure. He didn't have any time available until September. I didn't want to wait that long so I went with Dr. Kumar. Everyone speaks so highly of him, so I decided to schedule a consultation.
Today is the day!!
Im up and on my way to the pharmacy to fill my pain medication. The hospital had to move my surgery down to 1130a. I am super nervous and super hungry lol! I just want to get this over with because I am terrified of anesthesia. TERRIFIED! Say a prayer for me guys!
5 hours post op!
It's done I got through it!! Dr. Kumar and staff were great! I think I drank too much Coke after the procedure because I vomited when I got home. My stomach is a little upset. I ate noodles and were able to keep them down for now! Overall, I'm not in any pain thanks to my pain meds! Trust me ladies, this procedure was a easy. The only thing I hate is coming down from this anesthesia! I want to thank all of you for wishing me well and your prayers! Sorry if this post is all over place I'm still all drugged up lol!
48 hours post op!!
I feel great! I had to exchange my sports bra because I picked up the wrong size.. This procedure was soooo worth it! Today's the day I got a chance to see them! I'm in love!
6 days post op/ post op appt
Hey!!! Today I went to see Dr. Kumar for my post op. I ended up getting a yeast infection from loads of antibiotics I've been on to prevent infection. Also, he said that he took about 2.5 lbs out of each breast! Woooooow! He also took the steri strips off and now my incision hurts like hell!!!! I was fine up until today lol! I'm glad he removed them because the collection of old blood, dirt, and other fluids were starting to make me itch under there. Tomorrow I'll post pics.

I am a top rated therapist with 6000 accepted answers in mental health, relationship, and other related areas and will be happy to help if you like.
If not, please let me know and I shall be happy to refer you for a refund.
Warm regards,
Elliott, MAE, LPCC, NCC, CCMHC
If you would like me to help, please explain your circumstances.
Thank you. My question is a pharmaceutical, mental health question.
I am listening.
My daughter, age 21, has been having repeated seizures. She takes 100 mg Zoloft, 20 mg Suboxone, and xanex as needed. I control the xanex & administer. She usually takes it when she feels the seizure coming on since she believes it may prevent it. It usually does not. I have researched this combination and found little as far as seizures.
What causes the seizures?
Yes in relation to the medications.
Do you see a direct correlation between the mixture of meds and the seizures?
I understand this is a specialized area.
Suboxone and Xanax together do not cause seizures, but they are nevertheless listed as high risk to take together.
The reputable drugs.com says this about her meds:
Applies to: Xanax (alprazolam), Suboxone (buprenorphine / naloxone)
Consumer information
MONITOR CLOSELY: Concomitant use of buprenorphine with benzodiazepines or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants such as alcohol has been associated with increased risk of buprenorphine overdose, severe respiratory depression, coma, and death. Reported cases have primarily occurred in the setting of buprenorphine maintenance treatment for opiate addiction, and many, but not all, involved abuse or misuse of buprenorphine including intravenous self-injection. The exact mechanism of interaction is unknown, but preclinical studies
Applies to: Suboxone (buprenorphine / naloxone), Zoloft (sertraline)
Using buprenorphine together with sertraline may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you. It is important to tell your doctor
Switch to professional interaction data
Applies to: Xanax (alprazolam), Zoloft (sertraline)
Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare
This is found at a site I "prepared" by listing the three meds together.
Is your daughter in withdrawal from other drugs or alcohol (for which she is taking Suboxone)?
This is the site, by the way
She could be getting the seizures because of her withdrawal from other drugs.
She does take suboxone for opiate withdrawal (pain killers). I don't believe she is withdrawing from any drug. Since I administer the xanex & it doesn't have time to absorb her body, before the onset of the seizure, I didn't think it was the xanex.
Xanax, or more likely another benzodiazepine, Klonopin (clonazepam) are sometimes used to control seizures, but are not recomended for the long term.
It is very possible that the seizures are due to the opiate withdrawal, even with Suboxone.
My daughter's neurologist and PCP did not warn her about the contraindications of these drugs & I need to know what, in particular may be causing the seizures.
She has cut down on the suboxone gradually. She started at 8 mg and over a year, has reduced to 2mg.
These contraindications are nevertheless well documented.
which drug, in particular, do you think is the culprit?
It could be the Suboxone.
Once again I quote from drugs.com:
Moderate Potential Hazard, Low plausibility
Applies to: Seizures
Narcotic (opioid) analgesic agents may exacerbate seizures in patients with seizure disorders and, at higher dosages, have been reported to induce seizures in patients without previous history of seizures. The proconvulsant activity may be the greatest with meperidine, the active metabolite of which is thought to be responsible. Therapy with opioids should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to seizures.
from http://www.drugs.com/answers/can-suboxone-cause-seizures-if-youve-had-drug-162808.html
People react differently to psychotropic medications and some adapt well and others are prone to side effects, some of them severe.
I intend to print this chat out & give to my daughter. Do you have any further information or advice to give her, including alcohol use - whether or not it is occasional.
She has an addictive personality and should not indulge in alcohol.
Give me a moment please to add alcohol to her other drugs and give you the outcome:
Here's what it looks like if you add ethanol (the alcohol and people drink):
Applies to: Suboxone (buprenorphine / naloxone), Alcohol (contained in alcoholic beverages) (ethanol)
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR CLOSELY: Concomitant use of buprenorphine with benzodiazepines or other central nervous system
Using buprenorphine together with sertraline may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins
Applies to: Xanax (alprazolam), Alcohol (contained in alcoholic beverages) (ethanol)
Using ALPRAZolam together with ethanol can increase nervous system side effects such as dizziness
Applies to: Zoloft (sertraline), Alcohol (contained in alcoholic beverages) (ethanol)
Using sertraline together with ethanol can increase nervous system
Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
It is contraindicated with Suboxone and she should refrain from drinking.
Those are TWO important reasons not to drink.
The third, is that alcohol could lower her resistance to temptation to take other drugs.
can this chat be printed?
Yes. Either print directly or copy the chat to WORD and then save and or print
Or you can save this chat directlyo.
It will also be available if you come back to it.
I wish both of you great success and shall keep you in my prayers.
thank you for your time & good advice. I will certainly give you positive feedback.
Thank you so much. I wish you my heartfelt good wishes.
Thank you for your kindness.
You are so welcome. It is my pleasure.
Very pleased with Elliot. He is informative, patient & compassionate.
As far as I know I am still available on JA. Unfortunately, I am on a medical leave of absence, so I am not sure when or if I will be available in near future. I am located on N.E. side of Sacramento, CA in a small suburb. Good luck in your search to find a good psychologist. Ed Wilfong, Ph.D.
PS. Suboxone can only be administered by by a licensed MD with specialized training (I took a peek at your ??), at least in CA. Theoretically it is to help with opiate withdrawal by blocking the euphoric effects of opiates, but it still has some opiate effects. It is a last resort treatment for opiate addiction and other drugs and vital signs must be monitored. Here (it is given in person daily in clinic) until patient is stable.
You really need to have consultation by MD with addiction speciality.
Thank you for reviewing my question. My daughter is under the care of a neurologist. Before she commits to taking an anti-seizure medication for years, I need to eliminate the possibility or likelihood that it is a drug that is causing her seizures. Based on your response, it seems that you suspect that the suboxone may be the culprit?
Alecia I have some questions. Mental health questions. I

Ubuntu 10.04 to Integrate Social Networking into System Panel
A couple of weeks ago, I reported on an upcoming feature in KDE 4, the popular Linux desktop environment. It's called "Tabbed Applications", and acts just as it sounds. A simple description would be the "combining of multiple applications to a single window". Today, I'm still unsure if I'd personally ever take advantage of such a feature, but it seems likely that it's one that would eventually brand out into other OSes, because it could have use for many people.

Admissions Portfolio Advice for Transfer Students
First, be aware of the college's portfolio requirements:
- Fifteen means 15; SlideRoom will not permit more or allow less;
- The two most important qualities we look for in any portfolio piece are evidence of patience and evidence of confidence; anyaspects of any artwork that can demonstrate these two essentials is considered positive
- We do not require any observational drawings in a portfolio (meaning drawings done from life), but they are great to see; if you have them, consider them seriously as portfolio pieces. – they tend to require patience, they tend to require confidence and they tend to be done under tutelage. If you do not have them, don't fret! There are many other ways of making art that demonstrate patience and confidence.
- Just because a piece was a school assignment does not mean it isn't portfolio-worthy. If anything it shows us that you've taken dedicated studio art classes.
- We want to see your own creative voice. Copycatting another artist's character or merely following a tutorial's recipe is not impressive, to say the least. You can be inspired by another artist, but merely copying does not tell us much.
- For three-dimensional work assemble two or three smaller images onto a single JPEG. This will give a more comprehensive understanding of the sculptural piece without 'padding' the portfolio.
- If you photograph your work please make sure that it is well lit, in focus, and is cropped to feature just your work. Keep background neutral and no background clutter.
- Make sure to use the capacity of SlideRoom to provide us with information about your work: the title (if there is one); the date completed; the size; the materials; and, if a piece was a school assignment, please give us an idea of that assignment's purpose and specifications.
- Consider your portfolio as a whole and a work of original art in its own right; no matter what kind advice friends, family and teachers might give you, it is critical to make your own choices of what to include or omit and to stand behind your decisions.

How to Make Windows 7 Genuine ?
Disclaimer : We're only providing information available on the net and we DO NOT support any piracy, cracks, hacks, patch etc. If anyone finds this post assaulting or having piracy, kindly contact through the contact page for further settlement of disputes. We encourage visitors to buy GENUINE WINDOWS 7 SOFTWARE!
After Microsoft applied WAT technologies to their Windows 7 OS, users started complaining that their genuine Windows 7 systems are becoming non-genuine. One way to circumvent this problem, is if you're a non-genuine user of Windows 7 is to use Windows 7 loader. I'm not sure how this works, but it's kind of a crack, hack, patch which dodges the WAT technologies into thinking that Windows 7 is genuine. This works for Windows 7 Ultimate as well.
There are several torrents on the net where you can find this Windows 7 Loader software. Thepiratebay.org is one such site, which offers relatively good torrents.
If you search that site using "windows 7 loader" you can find torrent links to different versions of the same like Windows 7 Loader 1.9.7, Windows Loader 1.9.9 etc. The present version is 2.0. This loader also helps to download Windows updates and the new version even works on Windows 7 SP1.
Update: Now the Windows 7 Loader which can make windows 7 genuine has reached version version 2.1. The torrent you can search any torrent site and is uploaded by Daz.
Please read the detail information after downloading the torrent on how to apply the loader and solutions for any further problems you face to make Windows 7 genuine.
As you can see in the System window from the Control Panel that your Windows is activated message is displayed with the Product ID number.
Disclaimer: Please buy & use ORIGINAL WINDOWS 7 SOFTWARE.

Put the power to your pedals!
All About Cycling Shoes
Put the power to your pedals!
esides selecting a bicycle that meets your specific needs, getting the proper cycling shoes can make a huge difference in your riding. Cycling shoes have stiffer soles to efficiently transfer power from your feet to the pedals and to protect your feet. The lack of stiff soles in sneakers, for example, allows your feet to collapse through the arches while pedaling, which may cause pain, tendon problems and a burning sensation on the bottoms of the feet.
The key differences between cycling shoes and most other sports shoes are:
Types Of Shoes & Common Features
Road Riding:
Road shoes have very stiff soles, sometimes made of carbon fiber for extra strength and minimum weight. They usually sport lightweight ventilated uppers made from nylon mesh and are reinforced in places with Lorica or similar synthetic leather. Velcro or ratchet fastening systems are popular so that adjustments can be made "on the fly," tighter for climbing or sprinting, looser if your feet swell or feel uncomfortable.
Racers do not need to put their feet down very often, so having recessed cleats is not important. However, this does make those occasions when you do need to walk a bit awkward. Most racers waddle like a duck or tiptoe across the car park in their clumsy shoes, but once on a bike, the system is excellent; although you do need to check cleats regularly for wear.
Off-road shoes are also quite stiff and inflexible but not as much as road models. Like the road riders, off roaders want good power transfer through the shoes to the pedals. However, off-road shoes all have recesses for the cleats and aggressive tread patterns for those occasions when it's necessary to get off and hoof it. Some shoes even accept screw-in extra studs near the toes for grip on very muddy trails. Uppers are usually a little more robust than on road shoes, to cope with brushing through the undergrowth. If laces are used, these are usually hidden by a protective tongue. Soggy laces are no fun to untie when you're tired after a tough ride!
Casual Riding:
Shoes for casual riding are manufactured with comfort in mind, and therefore tend to be a little more flexible than their super-stiff racing brothers, as the pressure exerted on them will not be so great and they will be used for much more walking than race shoes. Many tourists choose casual shoes with clipless pedals because of their versatility and they may wear them for long days of riding (or even throughout a prolonged tour) and so appreciate the little extra forgiveness in the soles. Styles vary from boot-like designs to low cut, almost racing-style shoes with some good compromise models in terms of colors, weight and design in the middle ground.
How you ride…
The shoe for you…
You're a casual cyclist who doesn't feel comfortable looking like a gonzo bikie.
Consider casual cycling shoes, which look more like sneakers. There are even cleated models that work with clipless pedals.
You love rolling up the miles but you enjoy stopping to admire the view almost as much.
Look at footgear made for touring. It's flexible for comfort with rubber soles and recessed cleats for walking. Off-road styles work, too.
You love off-road rides and races.
You'll want a lugged sole, recessed cleat, snug-but-comfy fit, light weight, decent sole stiffness (not too stiff) and secure fastening system.
You've been on off-roader but now you plan to get a road-specific bike.
You may want to continue using your off-road shoes. Just get the same pedals for your road bike that you have on your off-roader.
You're a serious triathlete.
Check out triathlon shoes, which are designed for high efficiency but also with features to get you in and out quick.
You ride metric centuries and group rides that are more social than competitive.
You'll do fine with a mid-line road shoe because it'll be more flexible and comfortable than the full-on road race model (see below).
You enjoy hammering on the road with your buddies sprinting for every city-limit sign.
Get a lightweight, high-end road shoe with super-stiff sole for exceptional energy transfer and extra-secure strap system.
|Size Conversion Chart
|Euro (metric)
|US Men
|US Women
Remember, this chart is only a guidline. It's best to come on in and let us help you choose the proper size and type for your style of riding.
Other Considerations
Proper shoes and clips or cleats working as a unit are important to achieve maximum efficiency in powering the pedals. Be sure your pedals, cleats and shoes are all compatable for maximum efficiency! If you have any questions, be sure to ask us.
When shoe shopping, don't underestimate the importance of trying them on. Some brands run wider than others. Some sole shapes may fit your feet better than others. Some brands run big and some run small. No matter how much you like the look or features of a shoe, a lousy fit can ruin a ride. So, it's always best to come in and try some on!

If you're from around these parts Friday the 13th has more to do with a motor bike trip to Pt Dover than a day of bad luck.
That being said some are literally rendered useless when the day appears on their calendar.
Millions of dollars are lost on Friday the 13th as some refuse to fly, while other won't even set foot outside their home.
Apparently dopamine is the culprit.
It's the chemical in our brain that allows us to see patterns.
Those who have more in the body are more likely to be superstitious.
Bad things happen every day but if we're more attune to Friday the 13th we may only recognize the bad on this day.
Much the same way an athlete may have the same ritual before a game.
Something you might want to bring up when you're having a cocktail with friends today, unless of course, you're in Pt. Dover.
