We have a Nissan Frontier and are traveling cross country. We were wondering how far out does the rack swing out? Does it swing out far enough so we can open up the truck bed without having to remove the rack/bikes? Also, How far out does the rack extend from the truck hitch?
4 rubber straps broke on first trip
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
To begin with, my box was missing the assembly instructions and the safety strap. My first trip with the rack was a 6 hour drive on vacation with 4 bikes attached. During the trip out, one rubber strap cracked and another broke entirely. By the time I returned home again two more straps had broken through the holes and one cracked all the way through the rubber. I like the other features of the rack such as the swing away arm, but the rubber straps need a re-design.
Tightening knob
Tighten the knob and it allows the mechanism to expand and secure itself in the hitch.
Hitch mount
The rack allowed for a secure fit in the hitch without any wobble or movement.
Good for the family car
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Putting this rack together was simple. I was concerned about the adaptor for the 2 inch hitch but has not been an issue. The cam system that tightens the rack in the hitch works well and is secure. While tightening the knob it helped to gently rock the rack so the corners of the adaptor found the corners of the hitch. (Compared to the Yakima Swingdaddy, the Swingdaddy would not secure itself in the hitch despite cranking down on the knob to the point it wouldn't even turn or loosen). There is also a lever that clicks into the hole in the side of the hitch for added security.
Swinging the bikes aside is easy and there are some locking pins to prevent it from swinging back on you (one is semi- automatic and one needs to be put in place by hand).
A lock for the hitch and a lock for a small cable in the rack are included. If you want further security purchase a long cable and u lock.
I haven't had any issues with the adaptor as the previous reviewer.
This rack is good for the family bikes....like lower end kid bikes and adult hardtails. Full suspension bikes have a difficult time being mounted on these style racks and a lot of the high end carbon bikes do not recommend using a rack like this.
Expected more from Thule
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
We had the old version of this rack and there were a couple things that weren't optimal, but the back of our car was smashed and we had to pry the old rack off in pieces. This rack seemed the most similar but when we got it realized Thule now uses an adapter that fits both 1 1/4 and 2" hitches to cut costs. Installed it and 3 days later the pin broke inside the plastic piece at the base. PLASTIC?! Thule used to use metal. They've made a few small improvements, but overall this is a terrible product from a company who is clearly relying on its name and not quality. Backcountry was cool enough to handle the return.
same thing happened to ours - would only by 2' product, not the adaptable one. Ended up getting it off with a hack saw...
But the swing function is essential, so buying a 2' receiver product.
Thule Apex Swing Away
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great experience ordering from BackCountry. I ordered the carrier and it arrived 2 days later. The bike carrier is outstanding. I put it together in about 10 minutes and its very easy to load, secure, and unload all of our bikes quickly.
Is this a rack that I can buy other...
Is this a rack that I can buy other accessories so that in the winter season I can use it as a ski rack?
Unfortunately, that's not how this works. It doesn't really disassemble, so if you want a ski rack you'll need a whole new setup.

failed after less than a year
By Dumbledore
from Arizona
After 11 months, it stopped working. I went through the setup process to "pair" the transmitter and receiver, whereupon it worked for another hour and then failed again. Repeating this process suggests it cannot remember its wireless ID for very long.There was never any indication of low battery, and replacing the batteries did not help.

About Me Commuter
I've had this now for about two years now. Works flawless, I use the cadence the majority of the time. Not including stand bye time I've used it for a total for 40 hours give or take and only changed the battery once.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Cat eye strata double wireless computer
By Cycling Dad
from Horseheads new york
See all my reviews
Love this computer! One previous review stated it didn't record max speed, it does. It doesn't,t record max cadence, but I don't miss that. Absolutely love the arrows which indicate whether you are above or below max avg. speed. It lets me compete against myself. Still having issue setting up the time of day for some reason. All in all this is just a great computer. Very happy with it. Screen is very easy to see and just being able to click through the sequences is so easy.
It works....it's a Cateye....
By Ben
from IL
It took about a half hour to set up and install. Installation was easy. I put it on our tandem and mounted it on the stoker's bars, so my wife can see our info. Gotta take care of your stoker. My only gripe is that it doesn't record top speed...because you can really fly on a tandem. Other than that, it's great and I would buy again.
Nice computer

About Me Competitive Cyclist
I use this on my racing triathlon bike for a simple way to measure my race information. The set up was simple, although had to pull battery out to get the second sensor to sync. Display is easy to read but the computer fits loose in the stand.
good price and does all you want
By Bob
from Maryland
use is self explanatory set up take a little thinking seems in translation a few minor items left out but trial and error gets past it quickly just put on thinking cap.
Complicated to set up
By KJrunner
from Harrisburg, PA
I really wanted to love this wireless device, but I just couldn't get it to work. It started out working fine, but about the third ride, it just wouldn't get the info from the magnets. While the device is a good price to get cadence and speed, it's too many moving parts and I just couldn't get it to work correctly. Maybe I had a defective one, but I soon gave up because I wanted my total miles and lost so much data on the rides it didn't work. Went with a Garmin.
Small in size; lacks contrast
By Doc
Screen is small which is both good and bad; however, the lack of contrast makes it difficult to read with polarized sunglasses. Setup was awkward and slightly unclear. After install; cadence dropped after first 30 miles. Returning and buying another Sigma that lasted 3 yrs
Great Product, Great Buy, Fast Delivery
By Glenn S
from Austin, Tx
This is my 2nd Cat Eye Double Wireless, that I have purchased. It was a gift for my wife who is getting back into cycling. The ability to use cadence to gauge her shifting is making her a faster rider each time we go out. She also helps push herself a bit harder. Product is easy to use and set up and is why all my bikes have it. Nashbar is always my first stop for gear, and I have never had an issue with shipping or returns.

Looking back at the explosive growth trajectory that Precise Corporate Staging has enjoyed since its inception in 2000, owner David Stern says their plan was to have "sideways" growth. Stern always believed that his company needed to keep expanding into more markets rather than rely on just one. He shares his thoughts and best practices on "growing sideways" with AZNow.biz readers.
"I find that people who take the risk and start a business have a vision of what they want their business to be and the market they are targeting. However, as the business grows, most entrepreneurs are so busy trying to build their business with only the original ideas and the market they wanted to address in the first place. This type of thinking is like tunnel vision because they forget to look at other opportunities and strategic advantages that present themselves," said Stern. "I believe that you do not need to focus so closely on the path you are on all time. One needs to simply step back and look for new ways to market yourself. It is important to ask yourself, what other market or service can I supply to people that I am not seeing? Who else can use my product or service?"
David Stern explains these ideas from his personal experience.
Precise Corporate Staging started as a corporate meeting company supplying sound, video and lighting along with the technicians to operate the equipment. Early on, Stern's business model included a national presence and marketed his services through meeting planners and corporations. But as time went on, David soon realized that the sales pipeline was not working and personally got on the phones by himself, working to book out their services. Only to realize that the up and down cycle started to depend on him completely.
"Once I went to a show site the sales calls stopped because I was busy servicing the client. I needed to find another avenue to move the equipment to rent in our down time," he said.
This is when strategic partnerships came into place. David started speaking with other companies in his industry and discovered that they were looking for a vendor to rent equipment from when they ran out of gear. He quickly saw the opportunity. He was building a great reputation for the quality of equipment in town and the custom packaging they housed the equipment in. This was a great way to maximize the equipment and build up ROI on the equipment. "We started to expand into the rental business by keeping the equipment busy. By keeping our equipment moving, we had more revenue to purchase more equipment," says Stern.
The rental side of the business would not have been possible without support of "the bigger guys". By partnering with larger live event companies who kept feeding them moving lights, PCS was able to supply mega tours with equipment. Along the way, there have been plenty of one-offs, special events, and more recently, prestigious festivals.
"You don't have to view everyone in your industry as competition," says Stern. In fact, some of the biggest players can become your greatest allies. Build your alliances and you will build your business.
To say the least, PCS is always busy. In addition to these big events, "Now we're also doing hardware sales through our network of eighty-five dealers", said Stern.
Today they are focused on expanding into the entertainment segment, and they are doing it as they have done everything else: carefully and thoughtfully.
Stern shares his "lessons learned" with other business owners. "Companies that move too fast can be knocked out by one misstep," observes Stern. "And because you're buying into new gear, you really can't make a mistake. The bar is higher and you have to perform. It's a matter of patience and timing – not just in our industry but across the marketplace."
Stern's advice to other business owners is: Regardless of your growth strategy, stick to your core values. "Our philosophy is we partner with our clients," Stern says. "We help them invest in their business. When their business grows, our business grows." They work show-to-show but also year-to-year. "We want to create events and relationships where we both win."

LAS VEGAS -- The second annual Amusement Expo drew 1,522 buyers for the 2011 show, compared with 807 last year, a 47% increase, according to show manager Brian Glasgow.
Exhibitor numbers were up 26%, with 135 companies displaying goods and services, compared with 101 in 2011. The numbers of booths increased to 372 from 306, or 18%. The collocated National Bulk Vendors Association show had 21 exhibitors. | SEE NBVA SHOW REPORT
Overall attendance for Amusement Expo soared 49%, with 3,083 registered participants in 2011 compared with 1,894 last year.
The Amusement Expo, the embodiment of the long-running (and separate) coin-op trade shows sponsored by the Amusement and Music Operators Association and American Amusement Machine Association, ran from March 1 to March 3 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
A one-day reciprocal admission policy between Amusement Expo and the Pizza Expo, drew an additional 300 visitors, Glasgow reported.
The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions hosted a three-day FEC educational program in conjunction with the 2011 Amusement Expo. IAAPA chairman Bob Rippy, Jungle Rapids (Wilmington, NC), was on hand to kick off the program on Feb. 28.
IAAPA's FEC Summit, which used to be a part of Fun Expo, collocating with the coin-op shows, offered seminars on operational safety, retailing, online scheduling, guest service, new ADA regulations and gameroom operation, along with social media, new attractions, cashless operation and party tips. Kelly Bernish of Walt Disney World Parks & Resorts, David Katz of Bonita Marie International, Doug Stagner of Sea World, Tim Sorge of Swings-N-Things, Michael Getlan of Smiles Amusements and Dorothy Lewis of Maxx Fun were among the presenters.
The Amusement Expo held its own seminar program, planned by an educational committee consisting of AMOA and AAMA members. The program, free to registered showgoers, featured six sessions that attracted 415 participants.
During Amusement Expo's opening ceremonies, AAMA presented its 2010 industry awards. AAMA presented its Lifetime Achievement Award to distribution pioneer Frank Gumma Sr. of American Vending Sales (Elk Grove Village, IL). The association's Distributor of the Year award was bestowed on Betson Enterprises, while Manufacturer of the Year honors went to TouchTunes Interactive Networks. Suzo-Happ was recognized as Supplier of the Year.
AMOA presented numerous awards during its membership breakfast on March 2. Among them were three AMOA Innovator Awards, which were presented to Apple Industries for its Pix Place photo kiosk, Coast To Coast Entertainment for the Stage 1 crane machine controller and TouchTunes for Virtuo, a new digital jukebox that was a major draw at the show.
The 2012 Amusement Expo will be held March 14-16, Wednesday through Friday, again at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Visit amusementexpo.org for updates.

WATCH: Assad: If US Strikes Syria, 'Expect Every Action' in Return
(NEWSER) – If the US does indeed strike Syria, "you should expect everything," "expect every action," from Syria in response, President Bashar al-Assad tells Charlie Rose in a new interview. CBS This Morning previewed the interview today; it airs in full on PBS tonight. Some of Assad's quotes, from CBS and the Guardian:
- "You should expect everything. Not necessarily from the government," Assad said when asked about Syria's response to a US strike. Syria is "not the only player in this region," Assad said, likely referring to Iran and Hezbollah. "You have different parties, you have different factions, you have different ideology. You have everything in this region now."
- Asked if that retaliation might include chemical warfare, Assad said it depends on whether "the rebels or the terrorists in this region or any other group have it. It could happen, I don't know. I am not fortune teller."

Roberto Cavalli Fall 2012
There is flash, there is excess, and then there is Roberto Cavalli. One could see the preponderance of clothes bearing a baroque level of ornamentation in Milan these past few days as defiantly snubbing Italy's prevailing downbeat economic and political outlook. In that case, Cavalli's collection is a full-scale revolt against even the slightest notion that things are heading south—way south. He paid homage to prowling big cats and slithering reptiles, all the better if they're prowling and slithering over the likes of Naomi Campbell, who closed the show with a typically campy, vampy star turn. Cavalli has always loved to live big, think big, and design big . . . which leads us back to excess.
Cavalli basically works in two modes—pastoral aristocratic bohemian splendor or Grand Guignol rock 'n' roll—and it was the latter that was on his fall 2012 runway, a riot of tiger stripes created from strategically placed flower beds. Consider, if you will, the following Cavalli-isms he sent forth: a short black jacket encrusted with stones to imitate the scales of a crocodile; flared pants in a snakeskin covered in a leopard print or beaded to look like tiger skin; a mink coat covered in striations that also called to mind crocodile; a leather "sequin" tee with . . . a floor-length fur skirt; and still more reptilian scaling on a tiny satin puffball skirt. Handheld frame purses—the leitmotif of the Milanese purse for next autumn—were structured like old trunks, with decorative, graphic panels constructed out of stripes of exotic skins, and were worn with chunky, high-laced shoes in leopard, python, and tiger skin prints. The whole effect made maximalism look as restrained as minimalism, but it seems somewhat redundant to be pointing this out.
It also seems pointless to say that taste was sometimes as well camouflaged here as a lion prowling the veldt, ready to pounce on some hapless beast to be claimed as its next victim. Pointless because that is not the point of Roberto Cavalli. Fashion, for him, is about having fun, in the most exuberant, extravagant, and yes, excessive way you can, political correctness be damned. Who cares if that means looking as though at some point you should have said enough ten minutes ago? It helps, of course, that he fully utilizes exemplary, intricate craftsmanship to create his larger-than-life looks. In its way, Cavalli's Italian artisanal craft, with its time-honored heritage, can be a pretty defiant gesture against the bad times too.

LONG BEACH -- It's been more than 25 years since the family of Leotis Green learned the horrific news that the 38-year-old Long Beach man was killed during an apparent robbery at his apartment.
Green's mother, who will turn 95 this year, found her son inside his ransacked and blood-splattered home on June 27, 1986. That final image of her son -- and the loss of one of her 11 children -- still hurts to this day, her son and Green's brother, Jerry Green, said Friday.
After all these years, the family may finally have closure. Police believe they have solved the case thanks to DNA testing, and announced Friday they charged a suspect -- Anthony Ragsdale, 49, of Perris -- with first degree murder and robbery.
A second suspect, Wallace Johnson, 53, of Long Beach, died in 2003, police said.
DNA technology that didn't exist back in 1986 helped Long Beach Police track down the two suspects in the decades-old slaying. Ragsdale is now in the Men's Central Jail awaiting arraignment.
"We haven't told her yet" about the arrest, Jerry Green said of his mom, adding his sister is waiting for the right time.
"I'm hoping that the guy will just fess up ... so the family can get some kind of closure and (their mom) doesn't have to go through a trial."
Ragsdale was arrested March 1, after Long Beach Homicide Detectives Malcolm Evans and Todd Johnson submitted evidence collected from the crime scene to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Scientific Services Bureau for DNA testing.
The case was identified by the Homicide Detail's Cold Case Unit in 2009 as one of many cases that had biological evidence that might result in a DNA hit if tested. The analysis was made possible by a federal grant awarded that year, said Nancy Pratt, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
Based on the crime lab's findings, Johnson and Evans were able to identify Ragsdale and Johnson as the alleged killers, Detective Johnson said Friday.
"The case is primarily based on DNA and fingerprints," the detective said.
That includes samples taken at the time of the killing, and preserved for all these years, of blood found at Green's apartment in the 1800 block of Lemon Avenue.
"The victim's apartment was ransacked and blood was found on several items in the living room â?¦ and other areas of the apartment, in addition to a blood trail leading from the victim's front door toward the street," Pratt said.
Jerry Green said his family was stunned by the robbery and killing. He said his brother had a daughter and adopted son, and was always a likable, fun man to be around.
He had lots of friends and, though he was going through a divorce at the time, he remained friends with ex-wife, his brother said. He wasn't a man they expected to be killed, much less shot multiple times while inside his Central Long Beach home.
"He was a really, really nice, likable guy from a big family," said Jerry Green, adding that his brother has a twin. "He has a daughter and an adopted son (his wife's from a previous marriage), and three grandchildren, who he never got to meet."
Green is survived by nine of his ten siblings, and both of his parents. The Arkansas native's family moved to Tulare County when he was a teen, and most of them remain in that part of the state, Jerry Green said.
Though the family hopes Ragsdale will plead to the charge, they are confident that if a trial is held he will be found guilty, Jerry Green added.
"It took them so long just to arrest him, I'm hoping we don't have to wait too much longer," the brother said, adding that police stayed in contact with the family at least once a month since the 1986 slaying.
Ragsdale is being held in lieu of $1,050,000 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned at the Long Beach Superior Court on March 19, according to jail records.
Anyone with information about the slaying is urged to contact Johnson and Evans at the Homicide Detail, 562-570-7244.

In response to my "Twitter fight!" blog post from Wednesday, Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig charges me (in a post entitled "#Escapethe1990s") with living in the campaign finance debates of the 1990s. There's a better knock on me: I live in the 1790s, when the Bill of Rights was adopted, like some kinda freak!
Lessig really wants me to rely on modern Supreme Court precedents to argue that public funding of electioneering is unconstitutional: "And I challenge Harper to offer one bit of actual authority to counter that statement beyond his 'this is the way I wish the Constitution were interpreted' mode of argument," he says, in "I-really-mean-it" bold.
I've had similar challenges to my starry-eyed and—I'll confess—ideologically driven view of the Constitution. (I'm biased in favor of liberty.) For about a year, supporters of NSA spying bandied Smith v. Maryland "Supreme Court law," saying that a person has no Fourth Amendment interest in phone calling data—until Judge Leon undercut them. Needless to say, the Court got its rationale wrong in Smith. Applying Smith to NSA spying is wrong. To the extent precedents might allow public funding of electioneering, they are wrong, too.
Professor Lessig devotes a good deal of time to the compromise he and others have made with conservative opponents since the '90s. Perhaps because I'm not a conservative, but a libertarian, I don't feel as though I owe it to them to come their way. To Lessig's credit, he is not doubling-down on a bad idea, as others are, by seeking a constitutional amendment to allow government regulation of political speech. (The bill at the link was introduced Tuesday.)
What is most interesting is his utter certainty that an intricate scheme to mask government subsidy for political speech is good enough to slide over the First Amendment's bar on "abridging the freedom of speech." I thought I did a pretty good job on the subsidy question the first time, but I'll do it again: Under Lessig's plan, if you give money to a politician, you pay less in taxes. If you don't give money to a politician, you pay more in taxes. Government tax policy would funnel money to politicians for their campaigns. That's subsidy.

JZ and Aoki should just have a rematch in the second round...that is, if Caol Uno and Shaolin don't enter the tournament.

FEDOR VS TIM SYLVIA in July, 19th
get ready people this is going to be great!
Did anyone watch the Yokohama GP?
Mark Hunt
I've been waiting for this for a while now. Sylvia's been talking all kinds of shit about Fedor the last couple of years. I'm hoping Sylvia loses by knockout.
yes, ive heard sylvia takin trash but what he said was true in a way. Tim said, Fedor hasnt been active against top 10 ranked fighters which i believe true but just because of that, i dont think anyone could just overview Fedor's impressive legacy. I'm pulling for Fedor obviously but i expect Tim to be as a troublesome.

Jennifer Lopez & Casper Smart's Post-Christmas Spending Spree
Taking advantage of the after-Christmas sales, Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart took her children out in Beverly Hills on Thursday (December 27).
The "American Idol" judge looked cute in a gray furry vest, black top, and jeans while her man wore a black bomber jacket and jeans as each took a hand of Max and Emme, respectively.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, the 43-year-old singer received some disappointing news. According to TMZ, the judge dismissed her extortion claim against limo driver Hakob Manoukian for $20 million.
Unfortunately, the judge believed her suit was in retaliation for the ex-limo driver's earlier wrongful termination lawsuit against her.

MONTCLAIR - Montclair High School was buzzing with activity Monday morning even though school was not in session.
More than 1,000 students and members of the Montclair High School community were at the school early in support of the 5th annual Miles for Montclair walk-a-thon.
The nonprofit raised more than $25,000 - more than $100,000 to date - to help students on campus who are homeless.
Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which is also a national day of service, school officials host Miles for Montclair on the holiday.
Yerixa Caballero, 18, who participated in her fourth walk, said she wanted to do her part to help those who don't have a home.
"If I can make a difference by doing something for a couple of hours, then why not?" she said. "I feel at peace in my heart being able to help."
This year marked the largest crowd and donations raised for the nonprofit, said Amahl Thomas, a teacher at Montclair High who helped create the grassroots event.
The first Miles for Montclair Walkathon was held on May 23, 2009 when Thomas and fellow teacher Fabian Martin learned there were 150 students homeless at the school. They decided to do a three-mile walk, starting at the high school and going around the community, to raise funds to be able to help students who may need assistance.
Today, there are almost 350 students who are living with other families, in abandoned cars or homes, Thomas said.
Any student in need can come to the office and can get vouchers for temporary housing or food.
"This walk destigmatizes the issue, one in 10 students are homeless and this brings it to light," Thomas said.
Aside from students, attendees also included Supervisor Gary Ovitt and Chaffey Joint Union High School Board member Sue Ovitt as well as Montclair Councilman John Dutrey.
Students are each asked to raise at least $25. Martin said they could not do the event without the financial help and support from several community sponsors. Southwest Airlines provided students with lunch once they were done with their walk, he said. In addition Metro Nissan and Superior were also major sponsors.
"This is really a grassroots movement from the students and staff," Martin said. "This is a true Montclair event."

Feminism | Posted by Trip E on 10/9/2013
When the Controversial Decision to Only Cast Women Of Color Makes Sense
Last week, Barnard College/Columbia University's V-Day organization announced that this year's production of Eve Ensler's play The Vagina Monologues will feature a cast entirely composed of self-identified women of color. It has mostly been regarded as a bad decision that excludes a large number of survivors of sexual assault who do not identify as people of color. I overheard one student on our campus ask, "What the hell does race have to do with rape?"
But I'm a white woman and a survivor of sexual assault, and I fully support V-Day's decision.
Because our lives as women are irrevocably tangled in race, class, gender and sexual identity, discussing any feminist issue is necessarily tangled in them as well. One of the greatest shifts in the feminist movement recently has been…

Screensaver kicked in at 5 minute mark and was doing it's thing. Then, a few minutes or so later, the screen went into powersave mode (black screen). I moved the mouse and found it to be at login prompt. Last time I went to CTRL-ALT-F1 it hosed the screen and mouse so I don't think it'll work again. What should I try? Arthur

John Mayer and Katy Perry's NYC PDA
Listen to John Mayer on iHeartRadio | Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Katy Perry and John Mayer attended The Friars Foundation gala honoring Don Rickles at theWaldorf Astoria in New York City on Monday night, and the couple were photographed leaving the venue together holding hands.
While Mayer, 35, walked the red carpet, Perry, 28, snuck into the event, making a low-key entrance to meet her on-again beau.
"Katy arrived after the event had already started, but before dinner was served," a source inside the party tells ABC News. "A waiter brought a chair to John's table for her just before her arrival."
Apparently the duo was quite "affectionate" and "very lovey-dovey."
"They were smooching and rubbing one another's backs," continues the insider. "And Katy had her arm around John at one point."
Perry - who stunned in a silk Sally LaPointe gown - looked on adoringly as her beau performed the song "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)."
Mayer and Perry also had date night together this past Saturday, but purposefully avoided being photographed together. The "Paper Dolls" singer and Perry hit up both the Greenwich Hotel and Bowery Hotel in NYC, but entered and exited separately. Still, witnesses say it was obvious the two were dating again.
On another note -- does anyone else notice that Tiffany's shopping bag in John's hand?!

The Final Flare, Ty Evans Interview Part 3
Interview by Skin Phillips
(Continued from Part 2)
It's crazy that with a Red Camera you can make a Hollywood-caliber movie. I mean, what would that have cost before?
Yeah, but, a lot of skaters don't like the way that stuff looks. They just like the normal Death Lens fisheye—that's what they want forever. (con't under gallery)
Do you think it can be overproduced?
For sure. Look back at some of the stuff I've done over the last year and there're way too many set up shots, face shots, boards throwing down and this and that (laughs), for sure it can be overextended.
Going back to Fully Flared, there was purposely no skits in it because it was more about the skating, right?
That's a good point. There were 19 skaters in it—it was a beast. We actually did try to incorporate a skit—the floating camera. We shot the whole thing, but guys were stressed, they only had four weeks left to get this trick and they're out here sitting with this camera on fishing wire on a pole and they're like, "What the f—k are we doing here?" That's on the Final Flare bonus as well.
But I think this video was more about the skating. I think with the Girl and Chocolate videos it is more about the skits and the fun. This video was a lot more work. We tried putting in the Floating Camera and in the bigger picture it didn't seem right. We had this funny intro with Guy sitting in these Tech Decks and getting swallowed up by them—it just didn't seem right. But that's what's cool about The Final Flare.
What's next for you?
We're still working on the Chocolate video. It's a lot more fun. No one's stressed, no one's worried about doing their best video part ever. It's back to what it should have been. We got off track making the Lakai video [laughs]. Looking back on Fully Flared and The Final Flare, so much was put into these videos. You can tell a lot of these guys put in everything they had, but when that happens, you lose the fun aspect of skating.
Did it get stressful for everyone? Could you feel that?
Yeah, it was insane. Guys weren't talking to each other. This guy won't skate with this guy. It sucked. These guys left Plan B to form Girl which was supposed to be this fun thing, and then lo and behold in the middle of making Fully Flared, Carroll came to the realization, he's right back in the same situation, like how did this happen? It was good, I think we all learned a lot.
Continued in Part 4, coming soon!
The Final Flare is in shops now. Check this trailer.

Solomon, M.D., Pediatrician - 1 Book Item# :78256UPC# :890668000074 Brand:Nasopure Size/Form:1 Book Ship Weight:0.95 Clearing the Air, One Nose at a Time - Caring for Your Personal Filter By Hana R. Solomon, M.D.Learn how to care for your personal filter, based on science and common sense. Just Read Clearing the Air, One Nose at a Time By Hana R. Solomon, M.D. comes in paperback. One of the most overlooked aspects of our health and that of everyone around us involves the nose, and every day this vital part of our existence, if properly cared for, has the power to "change our entire consciouness and mood in a single second." Dr.Hana, as she proudly proclaims, "knows noses" and is on a mission to educate us all "about how, when a nose fails in some fashion, it affects the ears, sinuses, throat, appetite and diposition. A dysfunctional nose can cause headaches, snoring, coughing, and asthma; the list goes on and on."In the interest of full disclosure, Dr. Hana states in the beginning of her book that "this book is a pplea, a pitch, an argument, even a nag in favor of daily nose washing." Clearing the Air, One Nose at a Time begins by running through the functions of an organ which not only draws in and filter oxygen for the lungs but plays a key role in the most enjoyable parts of life. Sexuality, the teste of our favorite foods, the storehouse of memories which smelld can invoke in a millisecond and our moods are all regulated by this amazing olfactory sense, we should not neglect our noses. This book is a must read for anyone with nasal woes. Dr. Hana is the 'snotty nose expert'. The nose is our gatekeeper, our personal filter and our great defender!The Nasopure EffectYou might notice that Nasopure strongly encourages new users to carefully read and follow the instructions on nasal washing. This is because they want you to have a satisfying experience. However, there is also a technique to using the Nasopure bottle, a technique backed by scientific principles. Some wash systems claim to wash out your sinuses, but the Nasopure system washes your nose, and in doing so, encourages your sinuses to drain naturally. This is called the Nasopure Effect. Successfully washing the nose clearing the tiny cilia so they can move effectively again and using a law of physics called Bernoulli's Principle creates the best, the safest and the most complete daily wash possible. Have you ever noticed how a swiftly moving river draws slower streams into its flow? This is Bernoulli's Principle in action. Bernoulli noticed that as fluid flows more quickly through narrow areas, the pressure within the fluid actually decreases. The faster the flow, the lower the pressure is within that flow. And other connecting areas of fluid are attracted to low-pressure areas. This is why we see small streams pulled into the swiftly moving flow of large rivers. Imagine your nose, with Nasopure flowing through, is the river you create each time you wash. Your sinuses are stagnant ponds with small outlets allowing them to drain into the nose. When the saline solution flows past these outlets it creates a low-pressure stream that draws out the contents of the sinus cavities; just like a swiftly moving river would drain a small pond. The best part of Nasopure is, YOU control the speed of flow. So, you control the pressure differential. When sinuses and ears are inflamed, you may want to squeeze gently on your Nasopure bottle so you don't irritate tender tissues. Other times, you may want to create a rapidly moving stream of saline that is more aggressive in drawing out the sinuses contents, keeping them open and less likely to become infected. You have control. For Bernoulli's Principle to work at cleaning out your nose and sinuses, you need to direct the flow of solution across the floor of the nasal cavity so it can flow past the sinus openings, creating the pressure differential that drains the sinus contents. If you shoot your solution up, instead of back, you may be aiming directly at the openings to the sinuses and the ears. This is like diverting your river directly into the pond's outlet, a situation that not only blocks the outward flow, but also can cause transient discomfort as pressure is forced into tiny spaces. This is exactly why they have designed the Nasopure bottle to encourage flow in the most effective direction. They don't expect everyone to know about Bernoulli and his principle, but they want you to benefit from the science that stands behind the unique design of the Nasopure bottle. So read the instructions, practice your technique, and visualize a swiftly moving river of pure saline flowing past the sinus ponds drawing out their contents and releasing them as the river flows along the floor of the nose. Finally, take a deep breath and enjoy the sensation of a clear nose and open sinuses. So good! Why Nasal WashingSaline nasal washings have been used for centuries to maintain clear nasal passages. The process can be referred to as rinsing, irrigation, douching or lavage, but they like to call it what it is: nasal washing. Nasopure is today's ideal nasal wash. Dr. Hana, a board certified pediatrician with over 2.5 decades of experience in helping both children and adult patients with nasal, sinus and ear problems caused by colds, allergies, infections and exposure to pollution. She has seen first hand how the regular use of a saline nasal wash can soothe, moisturize, and help keep the nose, sinuses and ears clear, clean and healthy. Allergists, family doctors, otolaryngologists, pediatricians and scientists have found this procedure safe and effective. Evidence shows when done correctly, nasal washing can remove irritants, particles and debris keeping the passages clear while moisturizing and soothing irritated membranes. They truly believe anyone can benefit from washing their nose every day. Dr. Hana is on a mission to inform, educate and enlighten people all over the world on the benefits of nasal washing. The ultimate goal is to reduce medication use, and avoid the cost and side effects of these drugs. As a company, their goal is you help you feel better and breathe easier, naturally.Benefits of nasal washing: Daily practice improves both nasal and sinus health. Clears out sticky, thick mucus and helps reduce nasal congestion by thinning secretions. Allows the sinus cavities to drain freely so allergens, irritants, bacteria, viruses and contaminants can be eliminated. Helps prevent upper respiratory infections like the common cold. Reduces dependency on medications such as antibiotics, antihistamines, nasal steroids, decongestants and asthma medications. Relieves nasal dryness. Improves sense of smell. Improves sense of taste. Helps to treat sinusitis and rhinitis. Reduces allergic rhinitis. Reduces coughing and other symptoms of post-nasal drip. May reduce snoring. May reduce nose bleeds. Clears airways affected by nose woes associated with pregnancy and maturity. Helps alleviate breathing difficulties caused by medical conditions such as Cystic Fibrosis and many others. Cleanses the nasal tissues stressed by radiation therapy to the head and sinus area. Deeper, more relaxed breathing. Anyone can benefit, especially... Children two and above Anyone with a cold or flu Allergy and sinus sufferers Asthma sufferers Firefighters, construction workers, farmers, military, anyone exposed to environmental pollution and irritants Travelers Seniors Women with pregnancy rhinitis Athletes, performers and singers Patients - use prior to treatments with nasal steroids for better absorption People with altered nasal anatomy from birth or trauma or surgery History of Nasal WashingNasal washing or nasal irrigation is an ancient Ayurvedic technique known as Jala neti, which literally means "nasal cleansing" in Sanskrit (a classical language of South Asia). With origins based in the yoga tradition, nasal washing has been used throughout India and South East Asia. Although not commonly practiced by Western cultures, these Eastern cultures have performed Jala neti as routinely as brushing one's teeth for centuries. Traditionally a neti pot, an Alladin's lamp or tea pot shaped vessel, has been used to flow salt water into one nostril, through the sinus cavities and out the other nostril. In addition to using the neti pot, ancient yogis experienced success by snorting salt water in a rhythmic fashion as part of their daily rituals. In the West, doctors have known the benefits of nasal washing for over a century. Alfred Laskiewicz departmental Head of Pozna Otolaryngology Department (1932-1939) described conservative treatments of nasal irrigation from general hygiene to treatment of Scleraderma. The Proetz procedure has been used by ear, nose and throat surgeons for years to clean out the sinuses. Various salt rinse combinations have been studied, including isotonic, hypertonic, with and without buffering, and even with additives such as colloidal silver, antibiotics and herbs. Scientific data has continually supported the overall effectiveness of nasal washing. Hypertonic buffered saline solution has been shown to be most effective in treatment of congestion, removal of infectious and allergenic particles, but isotonic buffered works well for overall daily washing. Nasal lavage has varied from gravity flow vessels, pressure bottles, powered machines, misters, IV bags, sprays, squirts, flushers, bulbs, syringes, squeeze bottles, turkey basters, and other devices have all been tried as well. Over the past decade, there has been a slow-growing explosion of interest in nasal cleansing. This has been powered by the overall surge in prevention, alternatives and an overall integrative approach to health. Well-known doctors such as Dr. Murray Grossan, Dr Andrew Wiel, and more recently, Dr. Oz have promoted the practice of nasal washing. Although antihistamines, decongestants, steroids, antibiotics are commonly prescribed, doctors have added the adjunct treatment of nasal irrigation for allergy suffers, post operative sinus surgery patients and for patients with chronic sinusitis. Only recently has proactive nasal washing been recommended as a preventative approach. Today, there are many products created to make nasal washing quicker, easier, more effective and less messy. They all work to some degree, each with their pros and cons, but this is where Nasopure excels. It is the best designed nasal washing system offered the modern alternative to a neti pot. How Nasopure WorksThe Nasopure Nasal Wash Bottle is designed to wash the nose efficiently and comfortably the modern neti. The unique, angled neck allows a neutral head and neck position to achieve the perfect wash. No more bending or twisting the neck. The squeezable, plastic bottle provides precise control of the solution from a light rinse to a steady flush. The applicator tip allows for a tight seal with the nostril for control of pressure and flow. It washes the nasal membranes, while drawing out the sinus contents as the solution exits the opposite nostril. The bottle comes in 4 oz. and 8 oz. sizes and has a closable tip making nasal washing convenient for shower, over the sink use, and travel. And it's perfect for children too. The Nasopure Wash Salt Mixture is pharmaceutical grade sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate comes in Swish Stick packets so the solution is always the perfect mix you add water to achieve the salinity you prefer. It can be used as an isotonic or hypertonic buffered solution. See their Solution Guide for more information about their saline mixture. All-natural Nasopure is safe for anyone with "nose woes". Dr. Hana has taught children as young as two and three to use Nasopure, but they recommend a child's doctor be consulted and approve prior to use. Patients who use Nasopure on a daily basis tell them that it not only offers relief, but it refreshes, too. For them, it's as automatic as brushing their teeth and as refreshing as an ocean swim. Many users report fewer symptoms, fewer infections, reduced need for medications and they notice that they generally breathe easier. Why not give Nasopure a try? Whether you are bothered by congestion, irritants, or just want to maintain a healthy nose and sinuses, Nasopure will help you wash your nose clean, the natural way. Children and EarsAmericans spend billions of dollars each year treating ear problems in children; much of it on doctor visits, drugs and surgery. Ear infections are the number one reason children visit a doctor's office, and the number of children coming in with ear infections has risen over the past decade. There are several reasons for this including bottle-feeding, increased allergies, greater pollution, more children in daycare, and exposure to cigarette smoke. Interestingly, boys develop infections in the ears more often than girls do, and it is not clear why. Children in general seem to experience far more ear infections then adults, and this is because their Eustachian tubes are immature. Infants and children have a more horizontal Eustachian tube without gravity to assist in drainage. It is also much shorter and collapses more easily compared to an adult tube; the opening in the throat is more rounded, making it easier for secretions to find their way up into the middle ear. Additionally, babies tend not to swallow when they are asleep (they drool), and less swallowing means less ventilation of the middle ear. All of these differences result in a buildup of negative pressure which causes pain and this leads to restless nights. Anyone who has had difficulty clearing their ears after flying in an airplane, or anyone who has had the congestion of a cold that "clogged" their ears knows how Eustachian tube dysfunction feels. Children with chronic nasal congestion can feel this way all the time. These children think the world always sounds muffled and it is no surprise that they cannot speak clearly. The most common causes of Eustachian tube dysfunction are allergies and respiratory infections. Traditionally doctors have given antihistamines to dry up secretions and decongestants to clear the passages. However, the side effects of these two medications can be problematic, especially in children. Molly was brought into her clinic by her mother because the kindergarten teacher was concerned that she was not paying attention in class. A quick screen in the office indicated a "conductive hearing loss". Mom wanted to avoid medications if possible, so she agreed to try nasal rinsing. Soon Molly was "washing" like a pro, and two weeks later the repeat hearing test was normal. A simple and safe approach resolved her problem. Hearing is one of the most important windows to a child's world. Through good hearing, a child learns language skills and an appreciation for the world around him or her. If you are concerned about your child's ability to hear well, speak to your physician. If the problem is chronic congestion or infections, ask about nasal rinsing. It could change your child's life. Adenoids and tonsils are lymph tissues that normally enlarge as a child ages, peaking in size during elementary school years and beginning to shrink just before puberty. The adenoids are situated in the upper throat, in the back part of the nose, right next to the Eustachian tube opening. The tonsils are lower in the throat. These tissues will remain enlarged if constantly irritated, aggravated and stimulated by recurrent infections or allergies. These chronically enlarged tissues prevent the Eustachian tube's normal drainage, which can contribute to recurrent ear infections. Ear infections are the most infection children experience but not all infections require antibiotics. For years, doctors would automatically prescribe antibiotics when any fluid was found in the middle ear, especially in children. If the fluid persisted, they would recommend surgical placement of drainage ports, PE tubes, in the eardrum - a manmade exit for the fluid. These tubes do not correct the original problem, but they do allow the fluid to drain out the ear canal if the Eustachian tube is blocked. More recently, the Academy of Pediatrics acknowledged that routine antibiotics and PE tubes may not be the best approach and has now released new recommendations. A watch and wait approach to most ear infections is the newest guideline, but as in the past, it is up to each physician to decide on the necessity of using antibiotics. These recommendations will hopefully contribute to a decrease in the overuse of antibiotics and a reduction in bacterial resistance. Using fewer medications will reduce the development of adverse drug reactions as well. Sometimes these medications are warranted, but I recommend a first line treatment that is much safer and often more effective in addressing the core issue as compared to medication: Nasal washing with hypertonic buffered salt water. From the Expert.Antibiotic overuse is a particular concern. Many children with nasal disease seem to become "antibiotic-dependent" that is, their symptoms seem to be relieved while taking antibiotics, but then relapse shortly after the treatment course ends. A new antibiotic is then started, and the cycle then repeats itself over and over, sometimes for many months.Michael Cooperstock, MD, MPHPediatric Infectious DiseaseUniversity of Missouri, Columbia, Medical Center FAQ's regarding ear infectionsWhat exactly is an ear infection in and what causes them? Ear infections are a accumulation of mucus and bacteria within the Eustachian tube. Infections ALWAYS begin in the nose. The nasal membranes swell, excessive mucus is produced, thicken mucus in the drainage pipes (the nose, the sinus, the ears) fail to drain well. In children these tubes are smaller and the Eustachian tube is more horizontal, hence, the excessive mucus/bacteria fail to drain. The infection results. Can we prevent ear infections?Yes, we can reduce and prevent ear infections by keeping the nose clean, breast feed, stay away from large groups (day care), avoid exposure to smoke (this paralyzes the nose hair, the cilia) and keep your fingers crossed. How Can Infections Be Treated?A natural approach to ear infections begins and ends with lots of liquids. Lots of fluids, lots of exposure to moisture (baths, etc) and cleaning the nasal passages. In fact a new study suggests CHILDREN WHO WASH THE NOSE DO NOT DEVELOP EAR INFECTIONS! I have personally witnessed this over 25 years of medical practice and many of my colleagues agree. The Academy of Pediatrics strongly supports NOT treating with antibiotics unless the child is very ill, feverish, or very young. Finally, more professionals are seeing the light that antibiotics are not the only answer. In fact overuse of antibiotics results in bacteria to develop resistance, among other issues. Is there special season for ear infections?Cold season and allergy season is ear infection season. Whenever the nose is troubled, the ears are at risk. What can we do to reduce the risk of ear infections? Breastfeed instead of bottle-feed. Avoid exposing your child to cigarette smoke. Prevent allergies, adjust living environment for fewer allergens. Provide healthy unprocessed foods for fewer allergies. Avoid daycare if your child is younger than 2 years old. Keep the nose clean. Avoid medications that dry and thicken the mucus, such as antihistamines. Maintain hydration, avoiding sugary juices (teach your children to drink water). Treat GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux) if it is present. Apply warmed moist compresses to the outer ear for 20 minutes every few hours. Work with your child's medical provider so that your collaborative efforts will bring about the most effective and least invasive solutions If your child is getting worse, see your medical provider!

Chargers rally past Bengals 27-10
CINCINNATI -- San Diego took advantage of Andy Dalton's three turnovers in the second half on Sunday, pulling away to a 27-10 victory that extended the Cincinnati Bengals' streak of playoff misery to 23 years and counting.
They'll play next Sunday in Denver, the AFC's top seed.
It was a shocking finish for the Bengals (11-6), they won the AFC North, went unbeaten at home and had their top-ranked defense for the playoffs. With everything in their favor, they fell apart, getting outscored 20-0 in the second half.
Dalton now has a trilogy of bad playoff games. He fumbled and threw two interceptions in the second half, setting up San Diego's first playoff victory on the road in an open-air stadium since the 1994 AFC title game in Pittsburgh.

Chris Kattan
Spotlight show • The show is billed as "Chris Kattan and Friends," but we will all be showing up for Kattan, 41, making his first stand-up appearance in The Beehive. In an interview with The Tribune, Kattan said that although he was a member of the famed comedy troupe The Groundlings before he was a cast member on "Saturday Night Live" between 1996 and 2003, he only began doing stand-up four months ago. "My friend told me I have a lot of fans out there," Kattan said. So he said he "gives the crowd what they want" bits revolving around his most memorable "SNL" characters: Mr. Peepers, Mango, Corky Romano, Doug Butabi (the head-bopping brother from "A Night at the Roxbury." He also wants to deliver some physical observational humor, showing the audience who he is besides his disguises. "I'm more comfortable being myself," he said. "It's encouraging to hear that people like that."

Spotlight show • The Shins and The Head and the Heart, with Blind Pilot, open Red Butte Garden's first concert of the summer. The Oregon-based pop sextet Blind Pilot is returning to the botanical garden for the second straight year; it opened for Josh Ritter there last summer. "That is a beautiful spot," remembered frontman Israel Nebeker in a Tribune interview. Since its last Red Butte show, the band released its second full-length album, "We Are The Tide," which took full advantage of the ensemble growing from an initial lineup of two (Nebeker and Ryan Dobrowski) to six. For example, front and center this time around is Kati Claborn (banjo, dulcimer, ukulele, guitar, vocals), who played a little on the group's first record, "3 Rounds and a Sound." She joined the band after being approached by Dobrowski, who worked with her at a Portland coffee shop before they could afford to go on the road full time.

Nope. The three sisters in the British folk-pop group are Jess, Emily, and Camilla Stavely-Taylor, and in a Tribune interview Jess said that when they started performing gigs, they didn't have a name, so people would shorten their names and call them The Staves. The young women just released their second major-label EP, "Motherlode," with a full-length due out later this summer. Helming The Staves' album with the three-part harmonies are legendary producers Glyn Johns and Ethan Johns the first time the father and son have been credited on the same album. By the way, having grown up on the outskirts of London doesn't mean the women can't wait until the upcoming London Olympics they would prefer to go on holiday, or tour. "If I was in town, [I'd] be boring," Jess said. "I'm not huge into sports."

Re: OT: Remembering Earl Weaver...Rest in Peace
I am far too young to have ever seen him coach, (except for 86, when I was 0 years old lolz) but I was lucky enough to get to go see him this year for his statue unveiling. He's such a huge part of the Orioles history. I love hearing Jim Palmer tell stories about him, and the dysfunctional (yet very loving) relationship they have had over the years.

Re: OT: Remembering Earl Weaver...Rest in Peace
I just happen to be wearing an Orioles shirt today when I got the sad news about Earl. In addition to being tossed from both games of a double header, more than once, he also managed to be ejected from a spring training game. The only manager I ever heard of doing that. "It was the principle" I think he said. RIP Earl.
Re: OT: Remembering Earl Weaver...Rest in Peace
This town has so many great sports memories from some of the greatest managers and coaches in baseball and football like
Earl and now Buck, Don Shula and Weeb Ewbank, Brian Billick and don't forget Hank Bauer who brought the first World Series
title to Bmore in 1966. Palmer was the youngest pitcher to win a series shut out vs the mighty Dodgers.
One time the O's were playing Texas in spring training game in one of those small minor league parks where you could
hear every conversation in the stadium. Just as Tony Oliva was walking up to the plate, Earl yelled out to his young
pitcher to stop throwing all that crap. It was all junk balls. Tony was one of the best hitters of his era and got a big
smile on his face and hit the first pitch out for a HR. It was a fast ball down the middle. As he rounded third he yelled, thanks Earl. Everyone in the dugout laughed their asses off because Earl broadcasted the next pitch to Oliva.
Palmer said the same thing happened the first time met Earl in the minors. He was facing Johnny Bench for the first time
who had a great HR reputation even then and Earl walked out and told him to throw fast balls, no junk. JIm said I don't think that's a good idea vs Bench, Earl who said do it anyway. So he did and he hit a HR.
Jim never listened to Earl again like the time bases were loaded in Bmore and EArl wanted him to throw a fast ball.
JIm had never given up a grand slam in his life and wasn't about to then so he threw some junk and the guy got
a hit and scored a couple of runs but Jim never gave up the grand slam. Earl was furious-lol.
One time Pat Kelly said, Earl, you need to walk with Jesus. Earl said Pat, right now I just need you to walk with
the bases loaded.
One time Earl told a young rookie pitcher named Dave Leonard from Hopkins that the was starting the first game of the
world series vs Pittsburgh. Leonard said, Earl, I don't think I'm gonna strike fear into Willie Stargell. Earl said
I'm not trying to strike fear in Willie. I'm trying to strike fear into Jim Palmer.
They were always at each others throats but Earl said in that ESPN interview that he had 17 wonderful years with
Jim Palmer.

Re: OT: Remembering Earl Weaver...Rest in Peace
Ron Luciano hated Earl and that was one of the reasons he got fired from MLB. I love that U-tube clip of Earl but I wish there was a video somewhere of Earl ripping up the rulebook :) I was born in '67 so I missed the great run of the early 70's but I used to love when there was a rain delay on a tv game. They would run the old world series highlights. I started to really follow the O's in '75 and like somebody posted the O's from 1966-1983 had the best record in baseball. It was great to see Earl praise Buck this summer. Hopefully Buck has the team back to the Oriole way. Thank You Earl for the great long lasting memories.
Re: OT: Remembering Earl Weaver...Rest in Peace
I'm old enough to remember the disaster that was '86.
That's the only faded memory I have of Weaver.
R.I.P. to both Earl & Stan.

Just Arrived
By Kansas Swede
from Wichita, KS
Have only had for a week. Took two days to get used to the feel. Like the UV feature and the dual unit in different colors. Brush head is a bit small for my big teeth, so it would be nice to have small, medium and large head choices. So far we like the units.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Satisfied With Product
By Turtle Dude
from Grantville, PA
As a heavy coffee and tea drinker my dentist recommended a sonic tooth brush to significantly reduce tooth staining. Hammacher Schlemmer is the place to go for a quality product of this type. Still must get used to the weird vibrating feeling when the hard part of the brush contacts my teeth, gums, and lips. I am learning to manage the brush head, and anticipate good results in my next visit to the dentist.

The higher pulse rate cleans much better than conventional or other electric tooth brushes
UV Sanitizing Sonic Toothbrush
By Elaine
from Toronto
High speed cleaning is the best electric toothbrush we have used. Cleans teeth and stimulates gums. Plaque is gone. I am sure the sterilizer works as we have fresh breaths.
