Not very durable
Thread was gone after 4500 miles, was fine on street but slipped a bit too much on forest roads.

So far. So good.
I will be riding 80/20 street/dirt on my 2008 CRF230L. So far only ridden these on the street. No grip issues. Definitely quieter than stock. So far so good. If I have dirt issues I will report back.

great tire
This is the best dual sport tire I have ever bought and I've tried a bunch. I have a KTM 690 Enduro and ride it like it was stolen. I am MEAN to tires and this thing holds up about average in comparison to others I have tried but holds the best on and off road. I have raced sport bikes on super tight roads such as the dragon (in tennessee; if you haven't heard of it, look it up. It's awesome) and was as confident in it as a supermoto tire. Off road, it does not do so hot in the mud as expected as it is not a motocross tire. On nasty rocks, roots, hillclimbs, gravel/dirt road, this thing rips! It's a little expensive but the only thing between your tail and the pavement and the asphalt is a thin piece of rubber. Don't cheap out!!!!

Good tire, reasonable compromises, little pricey
All dual sport tires are a trade off. Those that are great on the street are not so good on dirt. Those that last high mileage don't offer the greatest traction. For me, 8o% paved road and 18% gravel/dirt roads, 2% real off road riding these tires worked well. Above average on the street, average in dirt. In fairly aggressive riding got 5300 miles out of the rear. The front looks to have at least 1500 left on it. Price is a little high compared to competition but the better durablity means less frequent changes which lowers net cost in tire changes. Happy enough with the first one that I ordered the exact same as a replacement.

great tire
Put these on a ktm 690 enduro to ride about 50/50 on road/off road in the hills of Tennessee / Virginia. Best decision I've ever made. They're awesome off road wet or dry. Obviously they're not a dirt bike tire but they exceeded my expectations. On the pavement they stick like glue and I'm no slouch in the corners. They have lasted longer than anticipated, especially with the way I abuse them, although I don't know exactly how many miles I have on them. Great purchase.

Not Great
Just finished taking these off my DR650, I got 4677K out of them and would not pay the price again for a second set. I have rode dirt and street all my life and always swore by Metzler tires but did not find a huge gain on these. They were quiet on the asphalt and OK in the dirt but for the price I would rather go with the cheaper Kendra K270 at $107.00 for both tires!

Great 50/50 dual sport tire
I put these on my KLR 650 after first running the stock tires, which were OK on pavement but not so good in the dirt, and then running the Dunlop 606 which were great on dirt and OK on pavement -- and I couldn't stand the noise any more. These are great on the pavement, both wet and dry, and very good in the dirt. I've only got about 100 miles on them so far so can't say how long they last but right now I'm thinking of sticking with these for good.

Great tire
I used these tire on a KLR650. I rode from Canada to Mexico on the Continental Divide ride. The tire were great everywhere except when it came to mud. They are not good at all. Tire wear was about what you would expect. I will get about 3500 miles on rear and 5000 on front mostly gravel and dirt trails.

Good 50/50 but too expensive!
The previous owner had these on the bike when I bought it. They had quite a bit of tread left, but it didn't last long (I got about another 700 miles). I ride about 60/40 street/dirt on my drz 400. These tires rode great on dry pavement, and were decent, not great, in the dirt. For the price I can't see justifying the purchase. I would highly recommend these tires if they were under $100, and your not looking for an aggressive dirt tire. Now trying the Dunlop 606.
Curt - August 10, 2012(San Diego, CA)

good, but not that good
The picture on this site did not look like the real thing. The tread had bigger blocks with larger spacing and the tread depth was shallower, but the side walls did say Enduro 3 Sahara. The tire did good on pavement and dirt roads on the back of my DR650, but the tread life was not much better than the kenda K761 (that performed just as well) that was on the back before. For the price of just the rear 130/80-17 I can buy a front and rear set of kendas and have change left over.

Enduro 3
I put the Metzeler Sahara front and rear on my Honda XR-650L. Very pleased with on-road acceleration, cornering, and braking. Off road performance I would rate as average. Where I live the mountain roads and trails are decomposed granite which is slippery, so cornering and braking at speed can be a little spooky. Part of that is due to the fact that the XR-650L is a big heavy bike. All things considered this is a very good tire, just don't expect motocross tire performance off road.

Great Tires!
Great tires! I've put over 10,000 miles on my set and will need to replace the rear tire in about another 4,000. They grip great and allow for extreme stopping power on and off road.

Came on a bike I bought. Reviewed on 1/13/10
This tire came on a XR650L I bought last February. It also had the matching front tire. The original owner put them on around 4000 miles. I changed them out at 10800 miles and could have gone another 500-600 miles easily. 7000 miles is pretty good I think. They handled very well on pavement and were good on gravel roads too. The only thing they did not do well in was mud but that was to be expected. I have gone through one set of D-606's (note: worn out at 3000 miles) since then BUT I am seriously considering getting another set of Metzeler Enduros for longer trips. If you don't do any hard core off road and like a very stable tire get these. The reason I only gave a 4 for fit is the lack of a 130/18 size.

Hi and thanks for reading. I have just completed my first design for ThemeForest; I'm not much of a Coder so it's a PSD , well, 2 PSD 's – a Home page and a Contact page. Have a look: http://www.linkfinders.info/upload/images/7kybgb1fsmv8bljj16ak.jpg
I'm 14th in the queue but hopefully I will get accepted.
Looks good, however, not sure if you are allowed to put the Mac product with the logo in the template?
Nice work anyway !
Yeah look good , but I don't think you will be approved because of the Mac use. If I were you , I would delete my file in the queue and do some changes , and re-upload before they clear it …
They turned it down saying it's not 'asthetically pleasing enough' – lol, if they can do better where's their stuff?
Does anyone know of a website where I can offer free templates please? I wont be creating anything else for this site…perhaps if I put one of those slidey things in the middle like every other template on TF then they'd have liked it.
Oh PS, I have permission to use that image.
The PSD category has higher design standards than the other categories so it's going to be more difficult to have designs accepted.Aside from that, you design does need some work. Here's a few things I noticed right away.
- The shadow on the large imac is cut off on the left.
- There is a giant blank space towards the bottom for no reason.
- Eye flow is kind of mixed up.
- Overall it needs further refinement
I hope you don't give up yet!
They turned it down saying it's not 'asthetically pleasing enough' – lol, if they can do better where's their stuff? Does anyone know of a website where I can offer free templates please? I wont be creating anything else for this site…perhaps if I put one of those slidey things in the middle like every other template on TF then they'd have liked it.Sure, there are plenty of websites where you can give away free templates. Check out oswd.org or just consider releasing it for free on your own site.
And they have done better, just check out any of the approved psd templates
Don't give up so easily , you are the only one that lose if you do. I got my first PSD theme accepted and then got refused 2 time in a row after that .. And looking at them , I approved that they were not really cool.
The problem with PSD section is that it sell less than Coded so they have to get the best of the best there.
You should try to work your design again and put yourself in the buyers head , try to incoporate some nice feature (yeah slidey thing is a great feature even if its on all template here ) You have to work a little harder to get something new , that is the challenge here .. and if you practice a lot , you will get better at creating something new everytime (im not talking about reinvent the wheels , just stand up your game a little)
Last thing , I know it's hard but just dont take that personnal , use what they say and adapt yourself.
Hope that help.
hi all! my first post
as someone said, and i agree, don't give up if someone turn down your work and don't take it personally.
work hard and you will succeed sooner or later.
You told me you had 5 years experience in the industry, how could you be "not much of a coder"?
Anyway, only wrote to say that there are loads of free template sites if you're still looking for one. Just search open source web design/templates. A few I used to contribute to are opendesigns.org, oswd.org and openwebdesign.org. Obviously the quality is nothing compared to what you find here though.
Good luck and like everyone has already said, try not to take it too personally!

Lake Whatcom water quality still slipping, data shows
Thursday, March 17, 2011 - 10:46am
The Bellingham Herald
Lake Whatcom water quality took a turn for the worse in 2010, adding new urgency to the ongoing effort to head off new sources of pollution while taking steps to cut back on existing ones.
The bad news came in the latest Lake Whatcom Monitoring Program annual report that lists data compiled by Robin Matthews and her team. Matthews is director of the Institute for Watershed Studies at Huxley College of the Environment, Western Washington University.

In schools and universities, teachers are often treated like novices, told to follow rules, tick boxes, and crunch numbers. And perhaps most tragically, some end up bowing to this. They lose that spark; that luminescence that drives them to rewrite the rules.
To remedy this, it's counter-productive to subject teachers to more red tape; more performance indicators, job stress and blame. Like parents, they need experience and excitement, not grinding surveillance. Most vitally, they need to be trusted: to be ambitious, adaptable, assured experts. Of course they'll need to formulate plans and follow official codes. But no mission statement or state policy can replace mastery. We should trust our teachers, as experts, to bend or break these when the moment's right – what American philosopher John Dewey called 'the burden of discovery and adaptation'.
At the end of all this is one rarely-spoken but priceless gift: hope. Not an indefinable, woolly-minded hope, but a simple, sincere one: that the boredom, conflict and bafflement of school can lead to something wonderful. It doesn't always bring money or fame – and perhaps not even happiness. Yet with their spontaneous, sympathetic outlook, my three teachers taught me a priceless lesson. It's what I'd like to teach my son who's 'free', and my chubby, stubborn, little daughter: that we can always be better than we are.

The Florida State Seminoles are 20-7 and 8-5 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. With an RPI of 34 and three Top 50 wins, they are surely on the good side of the NCAA tournament bubble.
But after his team's 77-67 victory at North Carolina Wednesday, Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton was asked what the win did to the Seminoles' NCAA tournament chances.
Hamilton took it from there.
"I'm not even going to get into an NCAA conversation right now. You don't even know what the criteria are," Hamilton said, via the Orlando Sentinel. "They (selection committee members) go behind closed doors in a room and they come out and give you some teams."
While that's somewhat true, there is a method to the committee's madness. But one thing they like to see is wins -- and Hamilton's team got a big one on the road in Chapel Hill, the Seminoles' first win at North Carolina since January 2000.
"The thing we can control is making sure that we continue to win basketball games, and hopefully if we do that we'll have some opportunities at the end of the season," Hamilton said. "I think you put yourself in jeopardy if you try to get into the NCAA tournament with eight wins [in ACC play]. I don't think we have enough at this particular point. We just have to make sure we keep winning, and we'll see at the end."
Right now, the Seminoles are on a three-game win streak and are safely in the field of 65 in USA TODAY's Bubble Tracker. Remaining on their schedule is home dates with Clemson and Wake Forest and a road trip to Miami (Fla.). -- Tim Gardner

LOS ANGELES - Adorably wide-eyed, fluffy and in need of a loving home is an unusual description for a football player.
But it's perfect for the gridiron stars of Hallmark Channel's "Kitten Bowl," an event that aims to both entertain viewers and inform them about animals consigned to shelters.
"The plight of these animals is so sad and really needs" attention, said Bill Abbott, president and CEO of the channel's parent company, Crown Media, and the driving force behind the inaugural Kitten Bowl. "It is an awareness issue."
The three-hour show airs at 11 a.m. Sunday, followed by repeat showings on what the channel is labeling "Su-Purr Bowl Sunday" for those uninterested in the real Super Bowl on Fox. The Kitten Bowl isn't the only game in which the fur flies: "Puppy Bowl," the granddaddy of the genre, marks its 10th year Sunday on Animal Planet with its own rescue dogs, kittens and, this year, penguin co-stars, who aren't up for adoption.
Carrying the idea to its wry extreme, Nat Geo Wild is counterprogramming the NFL's Denver-Seattle contest with the "Fish Bowl," starring a goldfish in a bowl, for four hours.
For Abbott, the Kitten Bowl is serious business. He's a longtime supporter of the North Shore Animal League America, a leading no-kill shelter that joined the Hallmark Channel in presenting the event. The shelter teamed with Last Hope Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation to provide and care for the 71 kittens featured.
The goal is to provide an upbeat look at how to reduce the number of animals that end up homeless, Abbott said.
The Kitten Bowl is hosted by North Shore spokeswoman Beth Stern, wife of Howard Stern, and John Sterling, official radio voice of the New York Yankees. Celebrity guests dropping by include Regis Philbin, Kelly Rutherford and Carrie Ann Inaba.

Fearing a backlash against himself and his kind, Jack swears off using magic in a bid to better assimilate into human life. But of course, fitting in was never going to be easy when people tend to get a bit 'explode-y' whenever you sneeze…

Ok, so I have been making good progress on my "Fang" Mystery Helmet these past couple of weeks. Will be posting some pics up soon but my main question is do I put fiberglass on the inside of the helmet? I have seen several posts from members that did it and I like the idea of it being stronger (I do tend to be a little bit of a klutz sometimes!) but is it worth it?
The thing that makes me nervous is several people that did the fiberglassing mentioned that it pulled the mandibles apart.
If you do recommend it would I need to do two layers of fiberglassing or would one be enough?
Thanks all!

What We Do ...
whl.travel is about connecting independent travellers (experienced travellers who like journeying off the beaten track and are tired of the "plain vanilla" travel options) to local inbound tour operators who know all the great products and services these travellers like (the interesting small hotel or homestay, a trek on the back trails away from the crowds, the restaurant serving fresh local produce and a favourite with the locals). whl.travel achieves this connection by providing our local partners a very sophisticated e-commerce platform to load product information (accommodation, tours, transport etc.) and process bookings. whl.travel then markets this product via a mix of distribution channels (SEO; global, regional and local affiliate partners; and WHL network referrals) to drive traffic and bookings. The result is a unique web-based e-business solution allowing genuine market access for smaller hotels, guesthouses and tour operator—particularly those in developing countries and emerging markets. whl.travel local partners deliver unique, authentic and memorable travel products and experiences.
How We Happened
whl.travel began in 2002 as a pilot project incubated by the International Finance Corporation (part of the World Bank Group) to develop a new model for providing market access for small- and medium-sized accommodation and tour providers. The idea was to leave control of the business with local people who know and support the development of their destination best, but to couple them with a low cost world-class web based IT solution and global distribution platform.
After a series of very successful trials in the Mekong region, in Southeast Asia and in the Pacific, whl.travel was spun off as a private company to facilitate the rollout of booking portals in other regions of the world. The system for setting up and maintaining these sites belongs to Worldhotel-link.com Limited, which takes a small monthly fee, scaled to income, from each portal in the network.
What Makes Us Unique
whl.travel combines the best of what can be done locally (local partners who are passionate about their destination, know it intimately, and have a great reputation with both travellers and local suppliers) with the best of what can be done at the global level (world class technology and marketing / distribution) in a win-win package. The local partners (we call them our e-Marketplace Owners/Operators or MPOs) own, operate and profit from the portals, while being connected to whl.travel's global network. These MPOs make up whl.travel's … "Local Connection"
By joining whl.travel you will be become a part of a network of caring travel professionals who care for the environment, welfare of local people and most importantly love sharing their destination's hidden treasures. Built-in networking opportunities through social networking sites and face-to-face conferences are all a part of the franchise system.
What We Care About
Under the banner 'Caring for the Destination', whl.travel places strong emphasis on sustainable tourism, concentrating on travel experiences that enhance the character of a visited destination through local food, aesthetics, culture, heritage and the environment. Until recently, these experiences have been largely incidental to one's choice of lodging or destination. Now, however, they are at the core of decisions made by conscientious travellers.
WHL ValuesWHL is committed to win-win-win outcomes for all stakeholders, including staff of WHL and member marketplaces, travellers and local communities. In seeking good outcomes and sustainable practices, WHL policies are in accord with the principles of win-win-win and doing no harm based on:
- Respect and care for individuals
- Respect for cultures
- Respect and care for the environment
- Open and honest management
- Ongoing learning and transfer of capabilities
For more information visit our document download page
How can you join?whl.travel selects operators best matching our values and meeting the criteria set out below:
- Be an active player already in the inbound tourism industry, preferably operating their own tour/travel company and having a web site.
- Be able to provide evidence that their existing business is trading profitably and has a stable earnings history.
- Have the resources (staff, internet access etc.) to support this new line of business.
- Enjoy a good reputation amongst suppliers (accommodation providers, tour guides etc.) for being honest, responsive, and fair.
- Have experience in dealing with the independent travel market.
- Have a strong interest in building a sustainable tourism industry in their given destination, and to working with and supporting smaller local accommodation providers.
- Have a good command of the English language (written and spoken).

I've been around the web and I've seen different ways for us to roll our hair minus store-bought rollers or curling irons. You can pin curl or flat pin curl (yes there is a difference) , rag curl, foil curl , or you can make some curlers by sewing or crochet a set and go to it.
Me, I like rollers/curlers, didn't own any at the moment, and decided yesterday that by golly I was going to have some; the thing is though I wanted something quick that was no sew because I didn't feel like taking out the sewing machine …So here you have it, panty hose (nylon stocking)
Step 1: Gathering Supplies
- You'll Need
- hose (used and washed is fine even if there was a small snag) you get 4 rollers per, ya ken? You do the math on how many you'd like.
- scissors
- polyfill (or stuffing from old pillow)
- cap toTresemme moose (if you have it, to help measure stuffing)

When Deadbolts Just Aren't Enough
At a recent locksmith tradeshow, the attendees were surveyed about the current condition of home security. The general consensus was that homeowners know they need good locks, they just don't have them. Here in Sandy Springs, that situation can easily be remedied with a single call to QuickPro Locksmiths in Sandy Springs, GA. They are your one-stop professional locksmith service that can handle a variety of lock problems.
The tradeshow locksmiths were asked two simple questions:
- "DO YOU AGREE or DISAGREE – even with a high quality deadbolt – a standard doorway would be defeated in 3 kicks or less without doorframe reinforcement?"
- "Based on your professional experience, do MORE or LESS than 10% of homes have adequate doorframe reinforcement?"
For the first question, 100% of the respondents agreed that the lack of proper reinforcement can allow a forceful break-in. That includes a door that just has a deadbolt. If the frame itself is weak, then it won't take much to bring it down. The second question was answered in the majority with the response of "less." That means homeowners are allowing themselves to be vulnerable to a break-in.
Too often, the certified locksmiths working for QuickPro Locksmiths in Sandy Springs, GA are called to a home after the burglary. That is when emergency locksmith services are most needed. It's also the time when homeowners get serious about their locks. The QuickPro Locksmiths won't have any problem replacing those damaged locks. However, they can go beyond that replacement by making recommendations for better security over all.
Yes, a stronger deadbolt will be an asset but you have to consider the entire door. For instance, a certified locksmith will be able to point out the weakness in a doorjamb such as soft woods and/or short screws. Even the sturdiest deadbolts could prove to be no match against ramming the weaken door down. One way around this situation is to install longer screws or to replace the doorjamb all together. There are other items like a steel striker plate that can evenly distribute the force of an impact and reduce the potential for damage. Having a qualified locksmith install these types of upgrades will act as a deterrent. A would-be thief could take one look at a reinforced door and decide it is not worth the effort.
The Society of Professional Locksmiths is taking this matter very seriously. They've upgraded their continuing education curriculum to include doorframe reinforcement. Here in Sandy Springs, the locksmiths working with QuickPro Locksmith have all received the very latest in lock and security certifications. This means that when they roll up on a job, they'll be able to handle any situation. Even if you're just getting a duplicate key made, they still offer advice as to how to improve your security situation.
The concern over home security issues should extend beyond your door and to any access point onto your Sandy Springs property. How easy is it for someone to gain entry into your home through a window or backyard gate? Is your garage completely secure? Even apartment dwellers could benefit from a home security reviewed provided by the qualified locksmiths working with QuickPro Locksmiths. Fortunately, if a decision is made on the spot to upgrade your locks, the QuickPro Locksmiths can spring into action. Their mobile service vans are equipped with all the right tools and a variety of high-grade lock kits that can accommodate all your security needs.
You have insurance for your car, health and home. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't wear your seatbelt, exercise and have strong locks. One call to QuickPro Locksmiths will have your security situation sorted out. Our service representatives are standing by to answer your questions and provide you with a free quote for all our services. Call today and you'll feel safer.

Franco-German energy firm seen focused on renewables: sources
PARIS (Reuters) - A French-German joint initiative in the energy sector announced by President Francois Hollande is likely to focus on renewable energy but is not aimed at forging alliances between major utilities firms, political and industrial sources said.
Hollande surprised markets on Tuesday with a reference to the creation of a Franco-German joint venture energy company modeled on European aviation group Airbus, but sources told Reuters that French state-controlled utility EDF and German energy major E.ON had not been consulted about a major cooperation initiative.
"We are very satisfied with Airbus," Hollande told a news conference. "The idea is to make a big French-German company for the energy transition."
The announcement was one of an avalanche of new-sounding proposals put out by Hollande, determined to seize back the news agenda from allegations that he is having an affair with an actress.
A French government source told Reuters that Hollande wants concrete proposals for cooperation in the renewable energy sector at joint French-German cabinet meeting scheduled for a February 19.
"The president wants to encourage French and German companies in the area of energy transition, and to bring together some of our industrial capacities," the source said.
No major operation is planned or imminent, he added.
A French business source said the cooperation would likely involve the French-German Office for Renewable Energies (L'Office franco-allemand pour les energies renouvelables), an initiative put in motion by former energy ministers Peter Altmaier and Delphine Batho last summer.
The sacking of Batho shortly after the meeting and the German coalition talks have delayed the initiative, but with new energy ministers in place in both countries, the initiative will get new impetus, the source said. Continued...

* Very helpful Customer Service, when my original order didn't fit.
* Big hit at a work event: two colleagues and I wore the same one, Cashanova. Even the hired comedian/emcee wanted to know how to get one.

Comments about Spirit Halloween Adult Cashanova Party Suit:
Bought for Halloween, went as an invented person "Big Money". Received so many compliments on the outfit and won contests in it. I had no idea what I was in for when ordering this suit. I am so glad I did. This suit was beyond my expectations. The quality was unexpected and the customer service was amazing. This is not a costume, this is an actual suit! The packaging was the first clue that this was going to be spectacular! Already planning next Halloween and hopefully can incorporate another suit from them. Will defiantly recommend this product and company!

Medical emergencies while traveling
You're on a vacation and having lots of fun traveling, when suddenly you find yourself in a hospital with a serious illness.
Medical emergencies while traveling can be a serious problem if you're not prepared.
You're thousands of miles from home, from family, and from friends. You may not even speak the language, or if you do know the basics of the local language, medical terminology will likely overwhelm your abilities.
The doctor shows you your x-rays, MRI film, and other test results that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that immediate surgery is necessary. That part you get – you probably don't understand the details, but the conclusion is unmistakable. Surgical intervention is necessary.
After the doctor finishes explaining your medical circumstances, a representative from the hospital's business office arrives at your bedside and informs you a deposit in the amount of $30,000 is required for the surgery. "Will you be putting that on a credit card or paying cash?" she inquires.
Of course, this is not you. You were smart enough to buy travel insurance before you began your trip, weren't you?
The odds of something like this happening are remote. That's why travel insurance is so cheap. A good comprehensive policy costs about $300 for six months of coverage.
So, why doesn't everyone have it?
I don't know, but they don't and when they suffer a medical emergency while traveling, many, many people find themselves in foreign hospitals every year facing a financial and a health disaster.
In one case I know of, a hospital placed a call to a patient's family that went something like this: "Hello is this Mrs. Smith? Mrs. Smith, this is Mr. Chi – I'm the business manager at ABC Hospital in Jakarta Indonesia. Your son, Michael has been in an accident and requires immediate surgery to save his life. Mrs. Smith, your son is uninsured, and we need a deposit of $25,000 before we can proceed. Are you in a position to make this deposit now by credit card?
Folks, don't do this to your family – buy travel medical insurance anytime you travel internationally – even if it's only a stroll across the border on the weekend.
I have been traveling my whole adult life without incident until recently. I was enjoying traveling in Indonesia and writing this blog when I noticed I was having an unusual difficulty walking. Life is full of little aches and pains that resolve themselves, which is what I figured this was.
But, over the course of just a couple of weeks, my condition went from difficult to walk to impossible. About all I could do was hobble around the house, which forced me to accept that this was not a normal, run of the mill ache.
I managed to get myself to a hospital where they determined I would need immediate surgery on my spine because the nerve that ran to my legs was severely pinched in three places. They told me if I delayed, I could lose bowel and bladder control, and/or become completely paralyzed below the waste.
I immediately went to another hospital for a second opinion, which was identical to the original diagnosis.
Fortunately, I had travel insurance. So, I contacted my travel insurance company, which was World Nomads.
The claims process was not seamless, and smooth. There were bumps in the road. But, at the end of it all, they did evacuate me to Singapore for evaluation and a very expensive surgery.
Had I been uninsured, I would have had a serious problem. I may have been able to get home to the U.S. without doing additional damage, but then again I may not have.
World Nomads must have believed I probably would not be able to, which could have been why they ultimately agreed to pay for the surgery in Singapore.
So, how am I now? Back to normal? No. According to the doctors in Singapore the recovery time for this kind of surgery is three months. Different people respond in different ways, they say.
Currently, my mobility is about the same as before the surgery and my level of pain is actually higher.
The only things that are different are my outlook and my expectations.
Before the surgery, my outlook was one of further degeneration, as was my expectation.
Now, my outlook has the potential for a full recovery, as do my expectations.
The next three months will tell the story.
In the meantime, I will continue to write about Indonesia on this blog in a new, reflective travel style. And, I'll be writing about Indonesia's great travel destinations on our other website – gotravelindonesia.
I hope you'll enjoy both, and please feel free to comment and let me know your experiences and opinions.

Swiss prospects
Here is my list for Swiss prospects. There are only players who are born between 1982 and 1987 and who are Swiss eligible. The most important players who are too old to be included are Marco Streller, Daniel Gygax and André Muff.
This is always difficult to establish a standing. I know that if I had to make another list in two weeks, there would be a few differences. The top 5 is pretty obvious.After that, it's obviously more controversial. And I must admit that I'm surely influenced by the recent U 19 European Championship.
01. Johan Vonlanthen 01.02.1986 PSV Eindhoven Forward
A pretty obvious choice. Vonlanthen is so skilled, he is the youngest player who has ever scored in an European Championship. Not a lot of size but a lot of quickness, and is so bright when he gets the ball, he has the ability to create a lot of danger because his skills enable him to make every movement with speed. He can really accelerate when he has the ball.
02. Davide Chiumento 22.11.1984 Juventus Turin Midfielder
When I think of him, the first thing is his incredible vision. He understands the game better than other players and he has an excellent feeling to make the good choice. His quality to find a player makes the players around him better. His passing is really excellent. And he protects the ball very well, with his centre of gravity very low.
03. Johan Djourou 18.01.1987 Arsenal Midfielder
All the people who watch him play can't help comparing him to Patrick Vieira. Was instrumental in the semi-final against Turkey in the U 19 Euro. Has a lot of size, his maturity physically is impressive, plays simple, makes the good choices very often, is able to bring danger when he has the ball because he has a very good acceleration on the first meters and it enables him to cross the first opposing definding line.
04. Tranquillo Barnetta 11.05.1985 Hanovre Left-back or midfielder
A very complete player. Knows how to defend, ability to eliminate an opponent 1 on 1, plays very well on a wing. He has a very good shot, and he likes to score from distant range.
05. Reto Ziegler 16.01.1986 GC/Tottenham Left-back or midfielder
Reto Ziegler is an excellent left foot player. He has been heavily scouted for four years. I know that four years ago, french teams were interested in him. Is very good in small rooms, can eliminate a player when he has the ball with ease, thanks to his technical qualities, especially the flipper. It's very difficult for an opponent to take the ball from him when he makes the flipper because he does it very quickly. He defends well. He is very clever. But he must mature physically. If he does it, he'll be a heck of a player.
06. Stefan Lichtsteiner 16.01.1984 GC Right-back
Lichtsteiner is another player who plays really well when he plays on the wing. A lot of enthusiasm, a good speed, he can nevertheless still improve on his technical abilities. Sometimes, he loses two many ball in one game. But he is a competitor. But he must absolutely avoid to be booked because he gets angry. Four things are the basis of football : technique, tactics, physical condition and mental qualities. He can improve in nearly every aspect. But it's interesting. He has a lot of room to improve. He should soon leave GC because a lot of french and german teams are interested in him.
07. Steve Von Bergen 10.06.1983 Neuchâtel Xamax Central defender or right-back
It can surprise a few people that Von Bergen is so high. But I watch him play very often, and he often impresses him. He is a complete defender, he can play full-back or central defender, he is the boss, he speaks a lot to help his teammates, has always a very good positioning. He can just improve on his passing. Sometimes, he has a lack of precision. But this is less and less the case. Will be one of the leaders for the U 21 Swiss team this year.
08. Fabrizio Zambrella 01.03.1986 Brescia Midfielder
Two months ago, I would have ranked him better. But he had a poor showing at the U 19 Euro, and he must confirm his qualities now with Brescia. I hope he won't suffer from the sophomore jinx. Because he had a career year with Servette. Is very skilled, has an excellent vision on the field and is able to score goals.
09. Valon Behrami 19.04.1985 Cagliari Right-back
Valon Behrami is an excellent player who plays extremely well on the right wing. Is a very offensive right-back with a lot of versatility. But sometimes he makes the wrong choices, and loses too many balls in one game. But he has a lot of room for improvement. Definitely a good possibility for him to play soon for the Swiss national team because we lack good right-backs actually. He could be challenged for this spot by Lichtsteiner, Degen and Barnetta.
10. Marc Lütolf 24.06.1987 GC Midfielder
My first wild-card. Marc Lütolf is not well known actually. But it could change soon. He has not a lot of size but he so skilled, he has eyes behind his back, has impressive technical abilities. He is the captain of the U 18 GC team, and he impresses me. Can create danger just with his passing qualities. He is a central midfielder and if you don't know what to do with the ball, just give it to him. You are sure he'll use it properly. His opponents are impressed by him, too. He is with the 86 generation with the Swiss national team (the new U 19 Swiss team). I'm really high on him.
11. Philipp Degen 15.02.1983 FC Basel Right-back
Was able to secure a spot with FC Basel. It tells the story. A very good right-back, likes to crash into the opposing defense, has a lot of heart, is not shy, he defends well and his passing has improved. Must be more constant. But a really interesting player.
12. Veroljub Salatic 14.11.1985 GC Central defender
Was impressive with the U 19 Swiss team at the Euro. A lot of serenity, a lot of calmness, he is an excellent central defender. Has an excellent air game, can score on the corners, especially with his header. His quality for the first pass when his team recuperates the ball is interesting and it enables his team to go quickly on the opposing goal.
13. Philippe Senderos 14.02.1985 Arsenal Central defender
Has he lost a year ? It's the question he will have to answer next year. Was injured for most part of the year and it slowed his evolution very much. Is a central defender who likes to compete, who likes physical game, and he has very good mental abilities. Was the captain of the U 17 Swiss national team two years ago when it won the Euro championship. This year will be very important.
14. Blerim Dzemaili 12.04.1986 FC Zürich Midfielder
He came from nowhere this year (with exaggeration). He was central defender with the U 18 Swiss national team and finally he secures a spot with the U 19 team as a defensive midfielder. He is a regular with FC Zürich at 18. It's impressive. Has a good agressivity, has good passing skills. It will be interesting to see his improvement this year.
15. Guilherme Afonso 15.11.1985 FC Twente Forward
A big forward. His principal qualities are his play when he is back to the opposing goal and his play without the ball. Likes to go up deep. It's difficult for the defender to defend on him because he uses his body very well. Has a good protection of the ball. Must improve on his last gesture.
16. Sandro Burki 16.09.1985 Young Boys Midfielder
Maybe he made the wrong choice two years ago when he left Switzerland for Bayern München. It slowed his progression. Is a very good midfielder, a sort of metronome. He has excellent passing skills and a good vision. A little too soft, he must grow up physically.
17. Goran Antic 04.07.1985 Forward
He is a pure goal-scorer. He is very good from close range. Plays well back to the opposing goal. Can execute things very quickly, is able to find a good position to strike. He has no team actually. But he is on a trial with Neuchâtel Xamax. I really hope it will work for him. He must grow up physically.
18. Arnaud Bühler 17.01.1985 Aarau Left-back or midfielder
"Left Back to the future" ? He is a good player. He understands the game very well, plays well on the left wing, he is a left foot player. A lot of complicity with Ziegler with the U 19 Swiss team, and it shows he understands every tactical aspect of the game. Signed with Liverpool two years ago, but nobody knows if he'll rejoin the big club in the future.
19. Alain Rochat 01.02.1983 Young Boys Left-back or midfielder
Can play defensive midfielder or left-back. The only knock on him is his lack of size and power. But he has excellent qualities, techinically gifted.
20. Antonio Aiello 17.10.1987 GC Forward
My second wild-card. A very good forward, likes to score. Has good speed, is able to play as a pivot, it could be one of the stories this year. He should make waves around him.
21. Roland Schwegler 03.02.1982 GC Central Defender
Too many injuries slowed him down a lot. Is an excellent central defender. Is very smart. A lot of elegance.
22. Patrick Baumann 08.01.1982 Neuchâtel Xamax Midfielder
Three years ago, he would have been a top 5. But had difficulties to confirm the hype around him. Coachs of foreign juniors national teams were impressed by him a few years ago. But he disappared a little from the radar, lost his spot with Thun and the U 21 national team. But he had a coach in Thun who was not able to take advantage of his skills. Because he is so skilled. He is a number 10 who is better than other players technically, who has an excellent vision, ... This year will be boom or bust
23. Davide Calla 06.10.1984 Servette Midfielder
Has improved a lot last year. A good midfielder. Did he make the right choice by signing with Servette ? Only time will tell. Good skills.
24. Rijat Shala 26.09.1983 GC Full-back, midfielder, ...
OH my God! One of the brightest prospects in Swiss football two years ago. But his improvement was nearly non-existent. And his position on the field is another problem. Is he right-back? Midfielder?
25. David Degen 15.02.1983 FC Basel Midfielder
His minutes on the field are much less important than his twin. Has difficulties to secure a spot with Basel. But he has skills, too. Is a midfielder. A lot of versatility, wants to improve. But there are a lot of midfielders in Basel.
26. Henri Siqueira-Barras 15.01.1985 GC Central defender
I could have ranked him higher. I really like him. A central defender with very good technical skills, but his easiness can have a nasty effect, to do too many things on the field and lose balls in the defensive zone.
27. Xavier Margairaz 07.01.1984 Midfielder
A left foot player with good skills. Has an excellent shot, is very elegant, but a little slow. And he was often injured last year.
28. Alem Abdi 21.10. 1986 FC Zürich Midfielder
A good midfielder who has a bright future. Should have a lot of minutes this year with FC Zürich.
29. Steven Lang 03.09.1987 FC Basel Midfielder
A future star ? Yes if he has the opportunity to show his skills, which are obvious and great. Basel snatched him from Team Jura two years ago. A brillant midfielder. I could have ranked him higher.
30. Marco Wölfli 22.08.1982 Young Boys Goalkeeper
A goalkeeper. Difficult to compare goalkeepers with players. Is very good in his goal, has really good lateral movements, but he must improve a lot his game with his feet, and his passing skills.
31. Thierno Bah 05.10.1982 Servette Midfielder
Not a good year for him. He was often injured. Defensive midfielder with good speed, must be more constant.
32. Kim Jaggy 14.11.1982 GC Left-back or central defender
Same story. He was often injured. He has a lot of vivacity, very interesting physically, he must improve on his positioning. He plays left-back or central defender. Boom or bust this year
33. Leonel Romero 28.01.1987 GC Midfielder
A good midfielder from GC. Has a lot of room for improvement.
34. Claudio Megna 06.10.1986 FC Basel Right-back
A right-back for FC Basel. Must be more constant. Has good speed.
35. Sven König 03.09.1985 Aarau Goalkeeper
Goalkeeper for the U 19 National team. Had a solid tournament until ... the semi-final. Two goals allowed on free-kicks. He must stop the second-one. He doesn't make the two small steps that a goalkeeper has to. Very good with his feet.

The Great Gatsby, The Philadelphia Story, The Caine Mutiny: these films are three of the most blatant examples of Hollywood's hopelessness at class. Gatsby, in the book, is a small, dark, unpresentable New Yorker – that's the whole plot point. So who do they cast? Tall, fair Robert Redford. The Philadelphia Story was originally a play in which the story is all about class, and in the film the bride's well-born father looks no more patrician than the allegedly plebeian journalist. And as for The Caine Mutiny – in the book the hero's mother is sniffy about his bride for being a vulgar shop-girl type, yet in the movie the bride seems just as well born as the mother.
I'm no particular fan of the class distinctions, though they do provide an alternative to rating everything by money – but it surely pays to get them right. We Brits, admittedly, are not faultless in this: Prunella Scales, who can do a mean memsahib voice herself when called for, complains about producers who take any amount of care about Irish or Cockney accents yet don't bother to get toff-speak right. But surely getting posh looks and accurate accents is no barrier to having a go at their actions and attitudes? On the contrary, it just aims the satire more precisely.

Anti-Laser Technology Makes Its Debut
A new discovery with implications in the fields of radiology, optical computing and even 'time travel' was recently discovered and demonstrated by scientists at Yale University.
As a new discovery with implications in the fields of radiology and optical computing, anti-laser technology was recently discovered and demonstrated by scientists at Yale University. Here's how it works:
When two laser beams were shone into a cavity containing that wafer, it aligned the light waves so that they became "perfectly trapped," causing them to ricochet back and forth until they were absorbed and transformed into heat.
Its official name is coherent perfect absorber (CPA) pointing to its ability to absorb 99.4% of incoming light, a percentage that is set to increase according to A. Douglas Stone, whom leads the research group at Yale. As far as its applications, Disinformation claimed that it "may be useful for designing light-based devices integrated into electronic computer chips". More impressively, Douglas Stone was quoted to have said that it brings us closer to making time travel a reality.
In the context of lasers, time reversal isn't a way for scientists to travel back to childhood and fix their embarrassing mistakes. It's a technique for rewinding and undoing a process by reversing the mathematics underlying it — in this case, by changing a plus sign to a minus sign to make the energy absorbed by the antilaser equal to the energy produced by a laser"

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|holly old thread bump. anyways when you on toe edge, dont try to stand on your toes cuz that's not gonna get your edge up. rest your shin against your boot. your boots and bindings are not designed to flex backwards so dont try to fight against it by standing on your toes on the boot.
Plantar Fasciitis. I suffered through that for roughly 4 months. Would hurt like hell when I got out of bed, would hurt ALL THE TIME..
How I actually got it to go away forever " haven't had it in over a year" was by doing calf stretches - Plantar Fasciitis Stretches - Calf Muscle Stretches for Plantar Fasciitis 5/8 - YouTube
The last time I had any symptoms was the night before I went snowboarding. Once on the mountain I stuck toe side for about 15 mins until my feet started cramping. I thought " omfg my I wont even be able to walk tomorrow now", but the next day to my surprise the plantar faciitis had disappeared completely.
My PF was getting to the point to where I could hardly walk in the morning, and towards the end of the day I was in extreme pain. You just have to literally stretch it out. I know it doesn't sound like that would be the solution, but I promise you it works.
Just thought I might add what caused my PF. I do 45-1 hour cardio circuits when I work out, but my friend introduced box jumps into our work out. Basically I was bare foot doing box jumps, and I jumped onto the box with only the ball of my foot. I lost my balance on that jump so all of my weight forced my heal down which in turn stretched the living shit out of the tendon in the arch of my foot. It was sore for roughly 5 days, but like the dumbass I am; once it got better I decided that since I hadn't jogged in 5 days that I should go ahead and go. 5 miles later with my foot was killing me, and so was born 4-5 months of PF..
I stopped jogging the entire 4-5 months, cut cardio out completely, and stuck to weight training / boxing / brazilian jiu jitsu / muay thai.. Just wanting to show you that it WONT hurt a lot most of the time, but when you " well, when I" would do high stress/shock activities to my feet it would really really bother me.
Sounds like I contradicted myself, but the toe edge stopping / falling leave for 15-20 minutes cured me hopefully for life.
Sorry to write a book I just wanted to explain how I was cured. Hope it helps man.
Just gonna throw my 2c in here...
Question: do you find that you are scrunching your toes up or do they splay out? You don;t want to scrunch them.
I read somewhere (can't find the article right now...) that there is a major artery that runs most/all of the blood to your foot that sits right where your ankle strap goes. Overtightening your ankle strap cuts your circulation really quickly and would lead to numbness/cramping/discomfort.
The same article suggested that a common propblem was people buying boots a bit too big, once the boot packs out they had to overtighten their setup to feel the same response which leads ot pain in the foot. So then people think it's the boot and buy bigger boots etc... = spiral of doom.
I personally focus my tightest part of my setup around the tongue of my boot - I keep the liner tight and crank on the "power strap". I have dual BOA so I keep my shin area tight and let the foot area be relatively loose. I keep my ratchets tight, but certialy not crushing... if you're having response issues there's probably "gas pedal" (if you have 'em) or forward lean adjustments that can take care of that... I remember when I fisrt started I used to crank everything waaaaay too tight...
Hope any/some of that helps?

I'm fine at first, longer runs and I start getting excruciating pain near the arches/middle of my feet. It basically feels like both of my feet are going through a major foot cramp, even though they aren't.
Different pairs, sizes, etc: 1 Soloman, 2 pairs of K2s, baked the inner lining, tried wearing looser, tried making the lining looser, wearing them a bit tighter, etc.
Shitty 1st board bindings, to Flows, to Ride SPIs and Ride Alpha Movement. No major difference in Bindings. I've adjusted front and rear angles and backings (front rear from +/- 25 to 15/0, no relief) and (backings up to 45%, no relief).
Arbor Mystic, Ride DH.
I've tried both Surefeet and $250 custom inserts, neither of which have helped.
I'm starting to think the boots are my problem, but if anyone has had something similar to where they seriously sometimes had to sit down during a run and stop for a bit because their feet were hurting so much that would help. Another thing I've noticed is terrain that requires a lot of turns or navigating causes me the biggest foot problems (moguls, tree runs, etc).
What's going on is you're flat footed and don't have metatarsal arch support, you have traditional arch support. So when you start riding the arch is collapsing and that's where the pain is coming from.
Any time a specialist recommends Surefoot (or as we call it Sore Foot) they should be pimp slapped. They have the name, they've been around forever, but they don't make a solid product. Go see a ski boot specialist, find one that has been doing it for at least 10 years. Find someone that's going to build the footbed from the ground up. Be prepared for multiple visits to see them.
I'm also going to suggest that the boots are probably a hair too big and your foot is sliding forward a bit, this can cause that problem as well. Riding with the boot loose is only adding to the problem. You need the boot to be snug, if it's loose your foot is just sliding around in there again.
The other thing can be where the internal harness sits on the foot.
|Sounds possible that your boots just dont fit properly and you are overcompensating by overtightening your boots and bindings.

I had a discussion just two days ago about Plantar Fasciitis with a friend that is very active in sports. He injured himself while playing basketball in a pair of running shoes and now has problems with his left foot every time he puts stress on it, such as playing baseball. He's only 28 and played college baseball, so it can happen to very athletic people.
Good Luck with it. I'm sure it's very painful from what I've heard.

Troy Jollimore on the God Debate
Posted on Apr 2, 2009
"Ever since the Enlightenment," write John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge in "God Is Back," "there has been a schism in Western thought over the relationship between religion and modernity. Europeans, on the whole, have assumed that modernity would marginalize religion; Americans, in the main, have assumed that the two things can thrive together."
"God Is Back: How the Global Revival of Faith Is Changing the World" is, in large part, an extended argument that the Americans were right: right to think that religion and modernity were compatible and could flourish together, and right to think that the way to encourage this double flourishing was by instituting a church-state separation in order to encourage religious pluralism and diversity. The American accomplishment, as they see it, is the achievement of a robust spiritual marketplace in which free individuals can choose and pursue whatever vision of God suits them best—or, if they so prefer, choose none at all. (The book's heavy use of the consumerist language of markets and the free choice is, incidentally, no accident; Micklethwait is editor in chief of The Economist, and Wooldridge is its Washington bureau chief.)
One might well sympathize with many aspects of this. (I certainly have nothing bad to say about the separation of church and state, although I wish the authors had acknowledged that many religious Americans are not nearly as appreciative of it as they are.) The problem with "God Is Back," though, is that the convincing arguments run in only one direction. The authors make a fairly persuasive case that modern technology and expanded individual freedoms have encouraged the spread and vibrancy of religious belief, not only in America but also in many other parts of the world—China, Latin America, South Korea and so forth. But if modernity has indeed been good for religion, it is far less obvious that religion has been good for modernity.
In the U.S., progressive movements in favor of civil rights and social justice once had deep and pervasive religious roots, but these days the dominant religions in America are nearly always associated with counter-progressive forces that frequently take their inspiration from (and frequently try to return society to) some set of pre-modern traditions or values. The same is true today in various other parts of the world; most saliently, perhaps, in the Middle East. Religion, in all too many cases, seems to encourage parochialism and hatred of the other, as well as superstition and scientific ignorance—all human flaws that the spread of modernism and universal reason was supposed to help us overcome.
In the American context, the issue of religious resistance to science is especially troublesome. Micklethwait and Wooldridge, though, spend little of "God Is Back" on the conflict between science and religion. Perhaps they felt that the topic has been talked nearly to death—a feeling for which I have some sympathy. Or perhaps the explanation lies in their rather simplistic understanding of what would constitute "compatibility" between religion and science. In their view, to show that two beliefs, or belief systems, are compatible, it is enough to show that there are significant numbers of people who adhere to both. The mere existence of religious believers in the modern world, then—the fact that modernity did not simply wipe religion off the map—is enough for Micklethwait and Wooldridge to conclude that religion and modernity (including science) are in their sense compatible.
But this establishes nothing of any real interest; after all, people often think inconsistent and incoherent things. The interesting question is whether it makes sense, in the modern world, for a person to be religious. The correct explanation of religion's persistence in the modern world, then, might be not that religion and modernity are actually compatible, but rather that humans are irrational enough, and capable of sufficient degrees of cognitive dissonance, to simultaneously hold incompatible beliefs. (As the biologist Jerry Coyne, writing in The New Republic, recently put it, saying that religion and modern science are compatible because some people fail to grasp their mutual exclusivity "is like saying that marriage and adultery are compatible because some married people are adulterers.")
The question of whether religion has survived modernism is therefore distinct from the question of whether, rationally speaking, it ought to have done so. But this second question is one in which Micklethwait and Wooldridge very rarely display any interest. One consequence of this is that the authors' standards for what constitutes a vindication of the legitimacy of religious belief are often startlingly low. Scientists, they write, "are demonstrating that religious experiences are 'real'—in the sense that they are associated with changes in brain patterns." But whoever claimed that religious experiences were not real in this sense? Every experience is associated with some sort of change in the subject's brain patterns. (When people cast horoscopes or go to séances and play with Ouija boards, things happen in their brains too.) Yet the argument strikes the authors as impressive enough that they return to it at the end of the chapter: "It seems that religious experiences can be 'real' to the people who enjoy or endure them: they are connected with changes in the activities of the brain." What a revelation!
Equally unconvincing is the authors' claim that evidence showing an apparent link between religiosity and dopamine levels "makes it harder to dismiss religion as a mere 'illusion,' as Freud once put it." I suppose what they must mean is that, if such evidence pans out, religion is no mere illusion; it is, rather, an extraordinarily useful illusion. What puzzles, though, is that their inability to provide any evidence that religious belief is actually true, and not some sort of illusion, doesn't seem to bother them at all.

I didn't like this place much. I couldn't stop shaking when mommy took me here but they were very nice to me. They did surgery to fix my little itty bitty knee. They even put up with my mommy calling constantly to check on me. Now, I am all better and I can run and play with the best of them!

We Owe Illegals?
seeing rallies like this one really ticks me off bigtime!
That's insane!!!! What are they thinking?? Did a police officer really get shot in Az?? Tell em to get back across the border and see what they can get. Ridiculous!!!
yeah an officer did get shot... it was awhile ago, but yes! I've seen that e-mail Brucebruce, and it upsets me. I sincerely believe we need to get all illegals out of our country. They are overtaking it. Growing up, I always wanted to go to california or texas, or florida. If you go there, you'd better be able to speak mexican and NOT so that you can just talk to the people there, but so that you can order food, buy gas, get checked into your hotel room, buy ice, get into shows, get into attractions, get into a parking garage, etc.......
The above smiley faces will tell you what I think about these people!
To answer your subject line, Brucebruce, "We owe illegals?" the correct answer would be:
Absolutly sickening
What happened to the immigrants from generations back that learned to speak English, learned to work for an honest wage to support themselves and their families, and learned to have respect for authority (police, etc.)? Those who think we OWE them anything should read a little bit of history . . . . . . oh, I forgot, they are in our public schools although they don't pay any taxes and yet still think we OWE them???
Okay, I'll stop now. I think I've made my point here.
Why should I have to press #1 for English, I live in the U.S. It's our national language.......................lol.
seriously, this is one of the biggest problems I think we are faced with today Political Correctness. Alot of people are afraid to speak their minds because it may offend someone else or go against their beliefs and this is what is being taught to our younger generations.
We as parents,teachers, and mentors need to take an active roll in our future generation's mind set. Let them know that it's a good thing to be proud of your heritage/race/religion and so on. It's not something to be ashamed of because of something that happened 200 yrs ago or 20 yrs ago for that matter. I'm not preaching racial or ethnic slander here but lets face it. If we as white males stood up and demanded the things that some ethnic groups and illegal immigrants do, we would be burnt at the stake called racist and charged with hate crimes. Imagine protesting a government for demands in a country that you are not even a citizen or for that matter inside its borders legally. I beleive that is a act of war in most countries but here it gets great media attention and sympathy from one group or another. If we aren't going to be proactive in this as law abiding,respectable,productive, members of this great nation we are going to be the ones on the courthouse steps begging for scraps. I think the people who helped forge this nation had a different course in mind than where its headed today
I think I've been hunting the wrong animal all these years. :yucky:
Funny HM I was thinking that too should have a season for that
bet they don't taste that good though

The size for avatars is only 80x80 right now. I'm thinking it would be better at 150x150 the most.
I agree, look at my avatar...its butchered!
I prefer 80x80 avatars. Hell, i got used to the restriction dA has - I quite like 50x50.
I'd love bigger avatar sizers I can barely see mine or make out what it says.
Yeah, the old avatar size would be nice. However, I do like how it automatically restricts the size, instead of having you do it yourself. And I'm glad they switched it so the Avatar is on the side, instead of up top like it was for a while.
A larger avatar size would be greatly preferrable. :)
Im hoping to get at least 120 x 120.
I'm taking to the admind about it.

150x150 is a good size. Also you guys should enable .gif as avatars as in enabling the animation.
i prefer this size...why?
because it saves bandwith...unless it doesnt affect it...which i doubt cause im pretty sure it does.
anyways...you may not notice it, cause you think a mere image wouldnt affect anything, but with hundreds and thousands of users...these little things add up to a lot.

Ok..this is so embarrassing, but I confess that I totally cheated here, and you're about to see why..
To make this impressive looking, and decadent dessert, here is what I did:
I opened a box of Instant Vanilla Jell-O Pudding, followed the directions, and poured it into some adorable, hollowed out baby pumpkins..drizzled some caramel sauce (ice cream topping) over the top and chilled it! See..I cheated!
However, I'm not here to corrupt anyone!! If guilt tends to get the best of you, by all means, follow the much more involved, authentic "Vanilla Creme Caramel" recipe that is readily available all over google, but I can promise..the only difference will be the mess in your kitchen! 😉

1065 14th Street, East Village
There are a lot of places you can play chess, but at East Village they supply the chessmen, the coffee's good, they're right at the bottom of City College's hill (making it easy to find opponents), and they're used to poor students. They don't care if you nurse one cup of coffee all day figuring out that opening four-move mate that never works. And it's adjacent to the Honey Bee Hive Grill and Bar, so you can drown your sorrows when you lose, or re-energize your brain with their pretty good meatloaf or eggplant pesto sandwiches. Mind you, this is a student dive, so noise levels rise as the hour advances. Best quiet time: sunset, while most are still in the library.
