Hey guys this is reuben with competition accessories welcome to our first look at the all new shoei neotec which a new modular helmet from shoei a very popular helmet manufacture that makes some quality products theyve had the multitec in their lineup for several years and it has been a very popular choice for long distance touring riders commuters and those who just simply prefer the convenience of a flip up modular helmet but with the shoei neotec shoei has taken what was very popular with the multitec and they added a ton of upgraded features to it to make it just the ultimate long distance touring helmet/commuting helmet and its going to be I think a homerun now one thing I did want to stress the neotec is not a replacement for the multitec and were actually going to do a separate video with an in depth comparison between the neotec and the multitec so well have a link to that in this video if you want to see a comparison between the neotec and multitec for now were just going to take a in depth look at the neotec and what makes it really a fantastic helmet first things first the shell of the neotec is using shoeis aim shell which is called their advanced integrated matrix its basically a blend of fiberglass and other composite materials resulting in a very strong shell since modular helmets dont have a seamless chin bar its important in a modular for the shell itself to be extra stiff and strong and with the multitec you have that nice strong aim shell that you dont get in less expensive helmets that might be above poly carbon at variety for example now the chin bar of the multitec is poly carbon and thats to keep the weight down especially when your riding with the chin bar in the raised position or if your just wearing the helmet with the chin bar raised having lighter weight in the chin bar is going to definitely really help in that regard so your carrying a bunch of weight on the top of your head the neotec comes with an all new shield which is called the cns 1 shield its both taller and wider than the shield that came with the multitec but probably the biggest claim to fame for the neotec is the new internal drop down visor system now we have seen this on many other helmet manufactures and helmet models but what shoei has done is something a little different you get first of all its a dark smoke internal sun shield which is anti fog coated and if youll notice the shell here theyve actually built a recess into the shell itself so rather than compromising the thickness of the eps liner which is the foam inside the helmet where most manufactures basically shave some of that away to fit that little face shield up inside when its in the race position what shoeis done you can actually see theyve raised the front portion of the shell slightly so you would have room to raise that internal sun visor without compromising the integrity of the eps liner so that if you do have an impact on your forehead area your still going to have maximum foam there so its going to do a good job absorbing the impact we talked about the internal shield being anti fog coated the external face shield while its new wider taller eye port it also comes with a pinlock insert I do have the pinlock here it did come with the helmet you can see on this little illustration here it provides plenty of coverage and basically what the pinlcok is its a small flexible pane which you install between these posts and basically when you take the shield off you can install the pinlock system its going to lay on the inside of the shield right between these and it has a small gasket thats going to create a shield or seal excuse me around the edge of the shield itself and what that does is gives you a dual layered shield which is going to do a good job at reducing fog and so if you ride in colder conditions and you want to install that thts going to come with the helmet another thing that shoei has really improved versus the multitec is the all new ventilation system you have a chin bar vent which is going to direct air up onto the face shield which is also going to help with fogging and then you have a 3 position top air scoop its going to work just like a ram air effect its got a fully closed position and then a partially opened position and then fully opened as you ride you can see it is nice and tall up on the top of the helmet so its designed for the more upright riding position but basically air is going to be forced into the helmet and then it will be channeled throughout the helmet keeping you comfortable and then this is something that we did not see all in the multitec but its a rear exhaust vent which is also closable so you have a small slider switch here which will allow warm air to escape as you ride the new chin bar is going to give you 8 more millimeters of chin room inside the helmet thats fantastic for a couple of things number 1 if your going to install a communication systems and you want to have a microphone inside the helmet having that little bit of extra room is going to be nice and then also if you find that your just kinda cramped in some other helmets especially modulars where you might feel like the chin bar is just a little close to your face then the new neotec is going to give you a little bit more room in that area to raise the chin bar theres basically just a simple release mechanism in the front here you just squeeze down on that which is going to release the pins and it raises completely up one thing I did want to point out is the shield and the chin bar pivet on the same point as you can see there is a little torse bolt there and thats basically the pivot point for both the shield and the chin bar which is going to give you a nice fluid motion as you open either one so well go ahead and raise the internal sun shield there and another thing I wanted you to see is all the hardware for the latching mechanism is made of stainless steal so both the latches that are built into the chin bar itself and the posts that it latches to are going to be stainless steal you do get a chin curtain that is included with the neotec which is removable so if you want to have a little bit more air flow or you can just get that out of the way you can remove that another aspect that shoei has paid attention to is the way that this helmet flow through the air now ive already taken this helmet out on the road I hit the freeway doing about 70 mph it has really good wind manners its stable at speeds its also surprisingly fairly quiet for a modular helmet a lot of times modulars are little bit more noisey because you have those extra gaps and spaces throughout the helmet that you dont get in a typical full face helmet nut one thing I wanted you to see is shoei has incorporated on the edge of the chin bar they call it their vortex generator lip basically its just a little lip to the edge of the chin bar which is going to push air away from the gap between the chin bar and the shell so thats going to just reduce wind noise as air flows over this gap its basically directed up over the gap and then its going to cleanly flow back around the back of the shell there so thats just another little attention to detail that shoei has put into the engineering of this helmet now take a look at the inside of this helmet shoei has finally given you a fully removable interior on the modular helmet so you have fully removable cheek pads and a fully removable crown liner another thing I wanted to point out here is shoei has also given you a little ear pad that sits right in the part where your ear will sit and that is another piece of engineering thats basically going to help absorb sound so its going to keep that helmet nice and quiet going to give you a nice quiet ride so those are removable so if you want to run a communication system you can pull these little ear pads out of the helmet and then you have plenty of space in there for a little communication speaker if you wanted to install that as well but I thought that was a pretty neat little feature have little sound absorbing ear pads there and then the cheek pads themselves can be removed with a few snaps and around the edge the whole cheek pad is going to come right out and you can obviously switch those out for different sizes if you need to kinda customize the fit of the helmet oh another thing I wanted to point out right above the cheek pad here theres a small notch and this is a feature found in all shoei helmets but that notch is there to accommodate eye glasses so huge selling point for those that wear eye glasses a modular helmet makes it that much more convenient to get your glasses on and off you dont have to fiddle with getting them through the face shield you can just open the chin bar to get your glasses on umm depending on your glasses you may be able to pull your helmet on without taking your glasses off but there is a notch built right into the cheek pad there so that your fram of your eye glasses arent going to bother you while your wearing the helmet the interior is also a dry max material which is going to be a moisture wicking fabric basically in warmer weather if you sweat in the helmet its going to manage moisture well and help absorb your sweat and it will evaporate to keep you comfortable you can remove the crown liner as we mentioned its just a couple of snaps around the back and front and youll see that they use a 3d liner with several openings throughout the helmet liner so that the ventilation system can actually reach your skin another thing that your going to really notice is that if you take a look at the inside of this helmet is the ventilation features now we mentioned already that this is a major upgrade from the multitec your going to get a lot of ventilation with this helmet but you can just see the engineering that goes into the interior of this helmet there is many air channels as air is pushed into these different vents its going to flow through this helmet reaching different parts of your head and then you have the exhaust vent at the back of the shell and then there is also air channels that are going to flow the air all the way through to the base of the helmet shell here another thing to notice is this center top portion that goes around the crown is actually a separate eps liner so they use a dual eps liner in this helmet that allows them to do two things one it allows them to build in additional air channels behind the eps so that the vent is really maximized and effective but another thing that it allows shoei to do is use multiple densities of foam so certain parts of the helmet are going to use more dense foam other parts are going to use a softer foam and thats all to absorb as much impact as possible and to progressively absorb impact so upon impact that softer foam is going to initially absorb some of the impact and it is going to progressively get into the firmer foam and hopefully manage those forces as good as possible so that is the review of the shoei neotec helmet this helmet comes with shoeis five year warranty another real neat thing that shoei does is there free drop inspection program so if you actually drop the helmet off of your bike or otherwise think that there might be a problem with the internal aspects of the helmet in case youve maybe had a fall and your not really sure how hard you hit your head or if you hit it you ccan actually send the helmet into shoei and they will do a free inspection for you and let you know if its till good to go or not so thats definitely a good thing to take advantage of as well the shoei neotec is manufactured in 3 different shell sizes so x-small through medium are going to be in one shell and then large is going to be in a shell of its own xlarge and 2x large are going to be in that third shell size which allows them to build a shell that is optimized for your head size check out the neotec on our website at competition accessories also in the corner of this video is a link to our youtube channel you can click on that to subscribe to us there also if you click on the multitec that will take you to our comparison video that really breaks down the differences between the neotec and multitec so thanks for watching our review of the neotec all new modular helmet from shoei well see you next time
Hey this is Reuben with Competition Accessories. Were going to take a quick look at Shoeis multitec helmet. Which is their modular helmet with the flip up chin. This helmet has been out for quite a while but its been a very popular helmet as well. Modular helmets are great for convenience, theyre very handy if your stopped at a light and want to talk to somebody, or if you want to grab a drink. For those that wear glasses they even integrate eyeglass slits on the edges of the interior as well, obviously with the chin bar up its a lot easier to get your glasses on and off so thats a big plus for those that wear glasses underneath their helmet. Taking a look at the shell of the helmet, it actually uses Shoei AIM shell, which stands for Advanced Integrated Matrix its basically just a fiberglass shell. Which is going to be fairly lightweight, a modular is going to be a little bit heavier than your typical full-face helmet just because it has a lot more moving parts on it. But the AIM shell itself is going to be a lot stiffer than what you find in the less expensive modular helmets. With a modular you dont have a one-piece chin bar so you need to have an extra strong shell so it doesnt have a whole lot of flexibility and the multitec definitely feels like it has a much stronger shell feel than some of the less expensive helmets out there. I want to talk about ventilation real quick. Its fairly basic ventilation on this helmet. You have a chin spoiler, or a chin bar vent, which is going to basically be open or close with a simple lever here. That is going to direct air up on to the face shield help reduce fogging. And then up at the top of the helmet there is a two-position intake system at the top. Basically if you open it to the first position there is just a small air scoop at the back thats going to give you some airflow to your head. If you need more ventilation than that you can open it fully and that is now going to work in conjunction with these two intakes at the front. On the rear of the helmet its just a very clean shell shape. It will flow very cleanly through the air try to reduce wind noise as much as possible. There arent any exterior vents on this helmet but at the base of the neck roll right here in this area thats where the hot air is going to escape. So that warm air is going to have a place to go once the cool air comes in through the front vents. Talk about the shield, this helmet actually uses Shoeis CX-1V shield, which has a nice ratcheting mechanism. All the way up and all the way down there are several detents all the way. You can keep it cracked, it also has a shield locking mechanism so if you tilt this little lever to the back thats going to hold the shield down. And if you push it forward your actually going to get a small crack along the front of the shield here which will allow just a little bit more air to flow up underneath the shield so if your running into fogging issues in colder weather or wet weather you can always use that lever to slightly open it if you dont want to have it in that first detent open position. Now the chin bar is very easy to operate as well. There is basically a button on the front or a lever, you just give that a squeeze, just pinch it and thats going to release the chin bar and you can open it all the way up. You can see Shoei does include a chin curtain so thats optional you can take it out. If youre riding in colder weather or if you dont want air to come up underneath the chin bar you can install that. It basically just slides up between the chin bar and the lining, there is some lining on the front of the chin bar there as well. So that comes right off. The only part of the interior of this helmet that actually comes out is the cheek pads so we will go ahead and pull those out. But it does use their comfort liner. Which is a 3-D liner, so basically it just uses different contours of material throughout the inside that works in conjunction with the ventilation on this helmet. Its a very nice, soft fabric. Its comfortable. One thing I do want you to notice is they build in some integrated speaker pockets so if you run a communication system or bluetooth for music or GPS, the speakers have a place to go. They install right behind the cheek pads the cheek pads basically just come out with three snaps. So they are very easy to remove and theyre also replaceable so if you need to go up or down a size on the cheek pads you can customize the fit with those as well. So the last thing I want you to take a look at here is the locking mechanism. It of course being a Shoei it uses very nice metal to metal latching system. There is a metal tab here and then Im not sure if we will be able to get it on the video but theres a metal latch that lines right up with those tabs. And when you close it you have a nice, secure click knowing that its down in position and ready to go. So if you do a lot of long distance riding, commuting, touring, these helmets are very, very good choice. They are very convenient. Obviously with Shoei youre getting a very good quality helmet. Its just DOT approved, Snell does not do any kind of testing on modular helmets. But it still uses Shoeis AIM shell design, which is one of the top of the line shells out there from many helmet manufacturers.

Hey guys this is Reuben with Competition Accessories Welcome to our premium modular helmets guide this video is going to encompass these four helmets that i have in front of me that range from around 450$ all the way up to 700$ plus so again premium modular motorcycle helmets here that were going to talk about and hopefully we can narrow it down for you if your in the market for a new modular. There's some key differences between these all of them are fantastic helmets very well made and premium features if your not familiar with modular helmets basically that means it just has a flip up chin bar , your going to be able to raise that up out of the way if you wear eye glasses that's a huge advantage you can easily get your glasses on and off . All of these helmets accommodate glasses very well they also work very well if you need to talk to somebody at a light or a gas station you can easily raise that up and have a face to face conversation with somebody if your a smoker if you want to take a drink with your helmet on you can do all of those things with a modular helmet so convenience factor is really high with a helmet that is in this price range obviously you paying for a lot of comfort features and premium features that your just not getting with less expensive modular helmets the fit and finish of each of these is very very good and i just want to stress that each one of these helmets is good each in its own right and were going to kind of run though these from my left to my right from least expensive to most expensive and kind of break down the differences between the four that i have in front of me. So first here on my left , to your right , is the Nolan N104 now this is the only helmet that doesn't have a composite shell it has a polycarbonate lexane shell its manufactured in two shell sizes these were made in Italy again its a nice fit and finish . One of my favorite things about the Nolan is it keeps the chin bar very very tight and low when you look at how the shield mechanism and the chin bar mechanism opens and functions in fact if i close this down and open it again if you focus on this pivot right here you'll see when you open it up it actually starts to raise and then it slides back into place and then it has a nice secure detente at the raised position its called an elliptical pivot instead of being on a single access raising up like most other modular helmets this one actually keeps it nice and low and then there's actually a chin bar lock on the side so if i click that in that actually going to prevent the chin bar from coming down at all . So if you like to ride with the chin bar in the raised position at all and i know all motorcyclists if you wear modular around town or if its hot out a lot of the time you'll keep the chin bar raised. A lot of manufactures actually don't recommend that just for safety reasons obviously you don't want that chin bar to accidentally fall down but well talk real world here i know a lot of you guys going to be wearing modulars are going to ride with the chin bar open. This one is going to prevent it from accidentally coming down on you, even with this unlocked it still has a very nice locked detente if you want to close it you will have to apply some pressure to move down and your going to have to click down into place. All the helmets up here are going to have metal to metal latches obviously as a safety feature you don't want the chin bar to open on accidentally open all the chin bars up here have very secure latching systems I'm not going to elaborate on that on every single helmet here . We do have a full helmet brake downs of each of these helmets so if you do actually want to see how the latches work and hear more about the features of each of these helmets you'll have a chance to watch those videos at the end of this one. To talk some more about the chin bar mechanism on the Nolan though its a little different in that there's a two stage operation there's a tab on the base that you can pull forward its just going to get that other one to come out squeeze those together that's what actually releases the latch.So its a two stage procedure to get that released and that's just an extra safety feature that's going to help keep the chin bar down and secure in case of an accident . You have a European style ratcheting strap on the Nolan these are nice and handy because you can get them on and off with gloves on and that's infinitely a nice feature just going to adjust the strap to where its comfortable to you and then it will just ratchet into place and some Americans are a little leary of these but they are incredibly strong or at least as strong as the D ring system that's found on other helmets that were used to here in the US but its actually very common over in Europe. Fully removable interior on the Nolan talk about the Ncom system briefly they have a Ncom communication system you can remove this base plate here pop that off and install the Ncom system and you'll easily be able to integrate their communication system with the helmet here though its going to integrate very cleanly. It has nice openings for a speaker pockets and plenty of room in the chin bar for a mic. So Definitely a great option for those of you running a communication system , and last but not least internal sun visor there's a slider on this slide that forward its going to deploy the internal sun shield it does have an anti fog coating on it and its spring loaded so you click that red tab and its just going to raise that up nice and smoothly out of the way. Pin lock lens is included with the Nolan so for the external face shield anti fog is accomplished with the anti fog insert. In fact while were talking about pin lock all of these helmets up here include a pin lock ready shield with the pin lock insert included in the box . So you are paying more for these types of helmets but you do get all those types of features included . Ventilation system last but not least on the Nolan is pretty ingenuitive the way that they have designed it they have a single slider up here on the top , and the first position is meant to crack this upper air scoop , fully released all the way to the back it is not only going to open this air scoop here but it also opens the brow vent at the front of the helmet . You'll see that they integrate a spoiler into the shell itself and then there is an exhaust port out the back to help warm air escape out the back of this Nolan . Again the Nolan N104 is going to retail for 449$ you'll have to jump on our website to see our current pricing is we are able to discount the Nolan with a pretty healthy discount but you can jump on there and see what those go for currently on our site. So for retail price ten dollars more 459$ for the HJC which is the next one to the left here. This is the RPHA Max which is brand new this one just came out it was just released and we are really impressed with it it has their premium integrated matrix shell its actually manufactured in three different shell sizes these ones are made in Korea but you see a lot of design influence over from the RPHA 10 which is their premium road race helmet or the RPS 10 which you might be familiar with so really top of the line features coming out in this helmet very aerodynamic design HJC uses extensive wind tunnel testing and development of both the aerodynamics of the shell and the ventilation system for the RPHA max very very nicely done helmet. Ill place this helmet on the scale here you can see its very light weight 3.6 pounds that's almost as light in fact that lighter then a lot of full faced helmets and its almost as light as its full faced brother the RPHA10 . So definitely a very well constructed helmet . Chin bar opens with a simple pull of the tab on the bottom that rotates up on a single access but it does stick up a bit further then the Nolan which all of the other helmets up here are going to be in that boat. You have what they call their cool forever interior fabric its moisture wicking fully removable customizable you can change out different sized cheek pads you have pockets for speakers on the sides here that should accommodate just about any kind of communication system standard D ring and chin strap for the closure . This does have an internal sun visor much like the rest of these helmets here this one is deployed with a slider on the top . This is just going to slide forward and lock into place and you can see it lowers down there it does have an anti fog coating on it , and then there's a button on the top here you press that and its going to retract that up . You might have noticed like the Nolan this one is also damped so its not a jarring sudden spring loaded motion its more of a smooth nice retraction. This helmet includes a max vision pin lock shield. You can see the blue outline on the face shield here its nice and large that's how the outline of this pin lock is going to sit on the shield so your going to get unrestricted vision out of the helmet here . And the pin lock insert if your not familiar with it creates a duel pane effect you have an interior shield a small bead of air and your actual external face shield when you install the pin lock insert and that gives you some insulation between the outside air and the inside . It really does a fantastic job at reducing fog , and again all of these helmets include the pin lock insert . Moving on to the right here you have the Neotec . The Neotec is made by Shoei and if your familiar with motorcycle helmets you've probably heard of Shoei they have been around for quite a while they are made in Japan they have an advanced integrated matrix 5 ply shell its manufactured in three different shell sizes fit and finish again very nice what you would expect from a Shoei . You finally get fully removable interior our previous modular helmets did not offer , internal sun visor is deployed on this helmet with a simple slider found on the left side of the shell here. Slide that up here to deploy it no springs or buttons on this guy its just a simple slider very easy and intuitive to use and if you know where that slider is you can get that up and down very easily . That is anti fog coated you have a multi density liner which is the actual foam inside of this helmet which is going to progressively absorb impact and its also allows them built to let in air channels though out the EPS liner so that this top vent can actually function as a ram air scoop to slide it back and that's actually going to draw air down inside the helmet and then you have an exhaust vent on the back here. This Shoei retails for 648$- 662$ so right around that 650 dollar range . There are graphics available that run for a little bit more then that but the solids are right around that 650 dollar range and we actually are able to provide a little bit of a discount on the Shoei as well. Last but not least we have the Schuberth C3 up here on the right . The Schuberth is made in Germany retails for 699$ and there are no discounts available on these guys, they charge a premium on them but it is worth every penny according to those who buy the Schuberth C3. First thing to point out its an extremely clean shell design, if you look at the back here there's no extra spoilers no extra vents on the back its just a very clean shell design which means its going to be the quietest helmet of the bunch here and that's really what Schuberth really prides themselves on its been wind tunnel tested and actually proven to be extremely quiet at freeway speeds so if noise is something that bothers you if your on a longer ride it gives you kind of a fatigue if you want to use a communication system so having a quieter helmet will help you enjoy that a little bit better the Schuberth with a lot of little design features just to get a very quiet ride . In fact if you look at the top of the face shield here you may notice these little triangle shapes here that is what they call tribulaters. Rather then having just a simple face shield that is just smooth and flat that would create a lot of turbulence around the seal here . These tribulaters actually create a bit of a swirl as it comes over the shell of the helmet , so instead of creating extra wind noise around that seal its actually going to promote wind to go up and over the shell of the helmet so it keeps the noise nice and low . Intake vent is a single vent at the top here and then you have a chin bar vent and again no exit vents on the back of the shell but it does create an area for the air to flush out at the base of the neck , so probably not as aggressively vented as for some of the helmets up here but again your getting a very quiet ride with very tight tolerances how the chin bar integrates with the rest of the helmet its a very nice tight and secure fit. Another thing that's unique to the Schuberth if you get it open here they have their anti roll off system which is an additional chin strap so you have your standard chin strap that has a ratchet enclosure much like the Nolan , and this is a German helmet your seeing that European influence in this one , but rather then just coming up and connecting inside the helmet like most do , it also has an additional strap that runs inside around the base of the helmet and you may have noticed there are a couple of rivets on the back here . That is what they call their anti roll off system, So if you were to go down and hit this helmet is not going to be able to roll forward off of your head or out of place. As this chin bar tightens against your neck this rear strap is going to pull tight keep the helmet in place its an additional safety design that Schuberth has used in their design. They also have a very rounded chin bar, so that if you were to go down and hit your chin on your chest its a very round shape so its not going to create an additional point of injury in that area . Ill show you how the internal sun visor works on the Schuberth , so again a very similar design to the Shoei just a simple slider that's here on the side, slide that back to release the shield down and into your vision and then slide it back to get it up and out of the way. Again that's also anti fog coated, it includes the pin lock insert so your getting all the features that your getting with the other helmets plus your also getting additional safety features. Last but not least on the Schuberth there's a couple of things , first of all the interior out of all of these as you would expect for a 700 dollar helmet is the most plush and the softest and just looking at it on camera you will be able to tell its a very premium fabric very comfortable its what they call Techskin design to keep you comfortable in cool weather and warm weather its cool max so its moisture wicking , its anti bacterial its very comfortable fully removable and then another thing you can do on the Schuberth that is really neat. You can remove the neck roll and replace it with the Schuberth communication system it actually integrates the communication system into the neck roll of the helmet. So your going to get buttons on the neck roll you don't have to attach anything externally to add bulk or weight or wind noise its just integrated right into the neck roll it works really really well and again if price is no object for you this is the top of the line helmet for you that your looking at right here. Definitely a very nice helmet again it retails at 699$ and there is no discounts available on the Schuberth line but that's what your going to get for 699 dollars there are some other graphics available with the Schuberth that will give you a little bit more as far as solids for price is 699. Now real quick i didn't have a chance to weigh all of these and while i do that I'm going to talk about the fit. First of all the Schuberth is going to be the lightest one up here talking about this being a 699 dollar helmet it is 3.55 pounds . If weight is something that is of concern to you weather you have neck issues that cause issues for you or if you just want to have a helmet that isn't going to cause fatigue when your on the bike for extended amounts of time the Schuberth is the lightest one up here. As far as fit goes i would say between the Nolan and the Schuberth these are going to be the most round oval shape that we have up here on the table, and then when you look at the Shoei and the RPHA max these are going to be the more intermediate oval or a slightly longer oval shape between the three of these. As for sizing goes these are all a size large I've tried all of them on they all fit true to size i wouldn't need to go up or down a size in any of them although i will say the opening for the Nolan is the tightest out of them pull the helmet on and off over your ears the Nolan is a little bit tighter but again that's going to give you a better seal on the base of your neck to prevent wind noise. The Schuberth weighed 3.55 pounds , by contrast the Shoei is going to be heaviest on the table is 4.05 pounds now and that's a half pound difference try and keep that in mind. And then the RPHA Max again very light weight almost on the same weight as the Schuberth 3.6 pounds so very impressive design on the part of the HJC. And then the Nolan up here 3.8 pounds it kind of splits the difference between the others . Hopefully that helps you narrow it down a bit between these top four modular helmets that we offer at Competition Accessories , they are all fantastic options just pick one that strikes your fancy as far as looks which ever one that fits your budget the best and bare in mind that comfort is something that can be bought that is something that is appreciated on a longer ride i know how a lot of you guys ride year round long commutes long tours you know year long around the world trips your going to want something that is extremely comfortable that you can endure wearing for days and days on end and be very comfortable and not have something that's a distracting or uncomfortable for you.
Hey guys this is Reuben with Competition Accessories. Live from the dealer expo. Just giving you a unique, inside look at the Shoei Neotec. Now this is one of the only cutaways available from Shoei and wanted to grab it real quick so you guys can get a unique, inside peak into this helmet. And obviously the stand out feature of the Neotec is its the first Shoei helmet that we have seen with an internal drop down sun visor. And what Shoei has done is they have actually created a space inside the shell and this is there advanced integrated matrix shell. It is a high tech multi-fiber shell. What they have done, is they have actually built up a recess in the front of the helmet here so that there is space for this internal visor and the advantage for that is your not compromising the thickness of the EPA liner so this foam liner is what actually manages energy in an impact and what other helmet manufacturers have to do to accommodate a visor is actually take away some of the thickness so that they can fit that visor inside. And what Shoei has done is they have built the shell up just a little bit higher so that internal visor can actually have somewhere to go without compromising on safety. While we are up here at the top of the shell you can also see all the different air channels that are built into the liner itself and this is something you cannot just see with a complete helmet obviously. So with this flow through ventilation, your going to open this top it functions as a ram air scoop this top vent, and its going to have air channels that flow all the way across the top of your head. Exit vent at the back thats going to draw warm air out of the helmet and you just get really, really good full coverage ventilation with this helmet. One thing that is unique about this helmet is you take a look at it their 360-degree latching mechanism. Basically its a metal-to-metal latch for the chin bar and if you take a look at the pin right here, its actually completely encompassed with the latch, so hit this chin bar in any direction and its not going to pop free. Its not just a simple hook holding it down, if I pull the mechanism you can actually see that the hook releases. So that hooks going to let go and you can actually see how it fully encircles that pin so its going to really do a good job holding that chin bar down in place in the unfortunate event in an accident. The other thing you can take a look at while we are taking a look at a cutaway here is their contour cheek pad system and that just shows you how Shoei, a premium helmet like Shoei, your not just getting foam block in the cheek pad your getting something that is sculpted something thats going to fit your face. They use multiple densities of foam in the cheek pad thats going to give you no pressure points, full coverage, and lots of comfort. With the modular helmet its also important to have a good seal all the way around the bottom of the helmet that really helps reduce wind noise so for you longer distance touring riders its really going to eliminate that loud wind noise that you get with some other helmets which is going to obviously prevent you from being fatigued after a long day on the road. So thats kind of a unique inside look at some of the features that are built into the Neotec. We are going to put a link in this video to our full depth Neotec review so if you want to find out more about the Neotec helmet we have already done a full in depth review of this helmet you can click on the link in the upper right hand corner of the video.

Hey guys this is Reuben at competition accessories and welcome to our comparison video for the all new shoei Neotec versus the Multitec now both of these are fantastic modular helmets from shoei who is a premium helmet manufacturer the Multitec has been in their line up for several years the Neotec just came out it was just released so we wanted to take a look at the two helmets to see what makes them different and what makes the Neotec about 170 dollars more when you look at the retail prices now at the first glance one thing you might notice by looking at the front of the helmet is the Multitec is a little bit wider down around the chin bar area and the Neotec is a little bit longer front to back if i actually bring both helmets up you can probably see that the Neotec is significantly longer in shape the Neotec has taken several steps to make it more aerodynamic one thing i did want to point out is at the edge of the chin bar you have a small lip that shoeis incorporated thats what their calling their vortex generator vent basically that is going to direct wind up and away from gap between the chin bar and the rest of the helmet as well away from the slider switch for the internal visor the internal visor is another major upgrade its the first time we have seen an internal sun visor on a shoei helmet it comes with a dark smoke internal sun visor which is anti fog coated obviously the Multitec does not have that and one thing you might see if you look at the shell is there is actually a raised portion of the shell here this is using shoeis aim shell which is advanced intergrated matrix but what theyve done instead of shaving away the interior eps liner to accommodate space for that sun shield they actually built that shell up to have space for the shield without compromising on the thickness of the internal eps foam now when you compare these helmets side to side you might notice that the chin bar comes out a little bit further on the Neotec you do get 8mm more room in the Neotec which is going to allow you to have more breathing room and it also gives you more space for something like a microphone if your installing a communication system both helmets open basically in the same fashion there is a latch here that you squeeze down on and its going to raise the chin bar up but on the Neotec one thing you will notice si the chin bar and face shield pivet on the same plain so the same access they are rotating around as the Multitec here as you raise the chin bar up the shield is a little bit further forward which brings it up a little further back if you look at the back of the helmets when they raise it up you can see that the Neotec actually keeps the shield down nice and low as the Multitec it is sticking up in the wind just a little bit further while were looking at the back of the hlmets here another major difference between the Neotec and the Multitec is the Neotec gives you a closeable rear exhaust vent which you dont have on the Multitec so your going to have just a little bit more air flow but definitely a more aggressive ventilation system on the Neotec you get a rear exhaust vent where as on the Multitec you do not have one and then taking a look at the front vents top ram air on the Neotec is going to force a lot more air in and they are both 3 position sliders but the vent configuration on the Neotec is definitely going to force more air down on into the helmet where as the Multitec just basically has 2 intake ports sitting up on the top and then the chin bar vent on the Multitec looks a little larger but shoei is saying that the chin bar vent on the Neotec is actually going to be a little bit more effective both of those are going to direct air up onto the face shield now another thing that the Neotec has as an advantage over the Multitec is that it does come with a pinlock insert so this is going to come with the Neotec basically its going to install between the posts inside the face shield and that is going to give you a complete anti fog system while we are talking about the face shield it is going to be taller and wider then what you had on the Multitec and there is also a new double lip seal around the gasket so you actually have a 2 lip seal but on the Multitec its actually just going to touch on the single lip and then the Neotec has 2 lips which are going to just give it a more secure seal which is again going to help keep natural elements out a little bit better and its going to reduce wind noise keeping the ride a little bit quieter you can check both of these helmets out on our website there both current shoei modular helmets both of them are available on our site at competition accessories.com also in the top right hand corner of this video is a link to our youtube channel be sure to subscribe to us there so you can stay up to date with all our latest product reviews and videos one more thing i almost forgot fully removable interior on the Neotec so you can remove the cheek pads and crown liner completely where as the Multitec you can only remove the cheek pads so i almost forgot but thats another major improvement with the Neotec and that is a dry max lining which is going to be moisture management system so again check this out on our website thanks again for watching our comparison of the Multitec and the Neotec well see you next time

Information and Details about the Shoei Neotec Law Enforcement Motorcycle Helmet - Police Helmet
made by Shoei
The Bottom Line: The Neotec is perfect for the rider looking for a high-end touring modular helmet. The interior is very soft and wicks moisture nicely. The internal visor means you do not need to change shields when the light level changes. The increased venting means the Neotec can be used in the hottest of weather or when it is pretty darn cold. The Neotec is a great helmet for the rider that really cares for the best.
The new
Shoei Neotec Helmet
is a long awaited, quality helmet from Shoei that incorporates an internal drop down sun visor. For years Shoei refused to include a drop down sun visor on their helmets, as the internal visor would need a place to reside once flipped up (thus reducing energy absorbing material in the forehead area).
Shoei Neotec modular motorcycle helmets
address this issue by building a recess into the shell itself, without compromising on liner thickness. Shoei Neotec Helmets use Shoei's AIM shell, which stands for Advanced Integrated Matrix. The Shoei Neotec Helmet boasts a lot of upgraded features when compared with the ever popular Shoei Multitec, and we actually recently had a chance to compare the two side by side. The chinbar pivot has been improved, keeping the chinbar lower when in the raised position. The Neotec Modular Helmet also utilizes what Shoei is calling their Vortex Generator Lip, which is a small spoiler built into the trailing edge of the chin bar. This spoiler directs air up and away from the gap between the shell and the chinbar, as well as directing air around the slider for the internal visor. After taking the Neotec out on the highway for a quick spin, we can definitely say we were impressed by the low noise levels. Be sure to the videos above to see our full in depth reviews of the Neotec, as well as the

Corinna Sowers-Adler is the latest voice of the American Songbook and was nominated for Best Female Vocalist in the 2012 BroadwayWorld Awards. She has booked and performed her solo shows to rave reviews at The Metropolitan Room, Stage 72 at the Triad, the Duplex, Feinstein's at Loews Regency and is the host of the critically-acclaimed, MAC Award-nominated "Music at the Mansion" series.

|For more information on RSI click here for the relevant chapter of the TUC guide to health and safety "Hazards at Work
Repetitive strain injuries affect hundreds of thousands of workers every year in Britain.
RSI covers a wide range of injuries to muscles, tendons and nerves. Usually hands, wrists, elbows or shoulders are affected. Knees and feet can also suffer, especially if a job involves a lot of kneeling or operating foot pedals on equipment.
The more common workplace strain injuries are sometimes called Work Related Upper Limb Disorders or WRULDS. This can lead to permanent disabilities, so must be stopped at an early stage.
There are many different names for these conditions, including: Tenosynovitis; carpall tunnel syndrome; tendinitis; dupuytren's contracture; epicondylitis or 'tennis or golf elbow'; Bursitis; 'Housemaid's knee' or 'beat conditions', and overuse injury.
To prevent strains, however, requires an acknowledgement that workers are not there to provide the flexibility in the system, through contorting and stressing their bodies and brains to cope with poorly designed equipment or systems of work, or through increasing their work rate to accommodate production demands, or because the workforce is too stretched, too cowed or too insecure to complain.
There is currently no content classified with this term.

This is a guest post from Jen Newman from Jen in Real Life who will chronicle her journey as she trains for the Wild Half. If you would like to be a guest blogger for the Beachfront Blog, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Week 2 miles: 8.91 miles
Total Miles: 15.06
Week 2 was a STRONG week!
I rocked every workout on my plan. Every workout was not awesome but I did not make any excuses. Heat, humidity and bugs did not deter me…ok, they may have backed me up a bit. In fact, a few times I was down right annoyed that our Spring was all of four hours long BUT....
but I made myself go out later and longer on those runs.
I have heard it said many, many times that running is 90% mental!
Week 2 taught me just what that means.
Lessons of the week:
I love running. I was not really sure until this week. Even crappy runs were better than not running. Running clears all the gunk out of my head. I usually have a hard time turning off my never-ending to-do list that runs in my head, but when I run that little voice shuts up. Running is my therapy!
I can finally call my running, running. I have had a hard time with this one. I have tried to be a runner who never walks and I never stick with it. I have been training using 2:2 intervals and I am so happy with that and I am loving it! I am a runner.
I do not like Zumba. There I said it out loud. I received a zumba dvd in the swag from fitbloggin and I finally got around to taking it for a test drive. My hips and knees do not like all that wiggling. I never knew what my feet were supposed to be doing. I used my Polar FT7 to track my heart rate and calories burned….and I get a better bang out of running and I enjoy running more. My hip/piriformis was really irritated after zumba. Sorry to all the zumba heads but I am not a dancer and this was NOT for me.
Week 2 was a fun and interesting week. I tried a new workout and I braved "wild" temperatures!
I wonder what week 3 will bring….

England were left to curse an umpiring error and a lamentable fielding performance as Mahela Jayawardene's 51-ball 89 steered Sri Lanka to 189 for four in their World Twenty20 clash.
Jayawardene was apparently caught first ball by Michael Lumb but stood his ground and profited when third umpire Steve Davis somehow decided replays were inconclusive.
But England had themselves to blame too, dropping him on 19 and 80 as well as botching a run-out on 43.
Tillakaratne Dilshan, who made 55, was also reprieved on 21 as Sri Lanka's second-wicket pair rode their luck to put on 145 in 15.2 overs together.
Needing victory to keep realistic hopes of a semi-final berth alive, England were firm underdogs at the halfway stage.
They enjoyed a good start in the field but it might have been a great one had the catch controversy not fallen in Jayawardene's favour.
Jade Dernbach had a slice of luck when he had Kusal Perera strangled down the leg side but he paid back that good fortune with interest when Jayawardene propped uppishly towards point.
Lumb threw himself towards a low chance and claimed a tricky catch before joining his team-mates in celebration.
But Jayawardene stood his ground and when the on-field umpires sent the decision upstairs, there was a grim inevitability about Davis' 'not out' verdict.
The batsman promptly hit three of his next six balls for four, while Dilshan announced himself by getting off the mark with a trademark scoop for six.
Jayawardene had a second life on 19 when he mis-hit Bresnan straight to the waiting Dernbach, who spilled the simplest of chances at mid-on.
England have made much of their togetherness on this trip and Bresnan showed solidarity with Dernbach when he dropped Dilshan.
All the while scoreboard ticked along and Jayawardene had reached 43 when he took on Bresnan's arm, a decision that would have seen him run out had Jos Buttler not missed the stumps as he gathered the throw.
After 10 overs the score was 70 for one and Jayawardene quickly set about adding to that as he attacked England's steadiest bowler, James Tredwell.
His last two overs cost 27 as Jayawardene started to find the ropes with ease and added a second six from Tredwell's final delivery.
There were 14 more off Bresnan's next visit, Jayawardene responsible for all but two after ending the over with another maximum.
Unbelievably he was dropped by Bresnan again before Jordan finally took the direct route and parted his stumps.
Dilshan followed closely behind, caught off a Dernbach slower ball, while Jordan removed Kumar Sangakkara for a golden duck.
But Thisara Perera (23no) and Angelo Mathews added late runs and there was even time for one more drop, Bopara putting Thisara down in the final over.

There is no doubt that Corvette is the most cost-effective performance car on the market. No other car in its class delivers as thrilling an experience for the money. That rests well with those who are privileged to sign on the dotted line and own one, but for the engineers and designers who conjure up the next best thing at Bowling Green, the burden of improving becomes heavier with each milestone. To keep the performance edge over the competition at a sticker price below the competition is a daunting task requiring sharp pencils and sharp minds working in unison.
GMs commitment to the Corvette is indicative of its pursuit of excellence in the performance market. Building upon such a home run as the Z06 (and the coupes and convertibles as well) ensures product longevity in the marketplace and improved customer satisfaction. On the heels of last years introduction of the Z06 option, many were left wondering what innovations this year would bring to the Corvette stable. It can be summed up in two words: More Power!
Were talking about Chevrolet, not a power broker whose clientele is simply interested in more seat-of-the-pants power without any concern for the consequences. Building more power into the Corvette is a formula in which emissions, fuel economy, broad customer satisfaction, and economics all play a part, and the 2002 Corvette has definitely raised the horsepower bar while satisfying all of these additional requirements.
The Z06 received a boost of 20 hp, bringing total horsepower to 405. If that number sounds familiar, it should. Youll remember it as the final horsepower rating for the LT5-equipped ZR-1s that were produced up until 1995. Equaling the power of the exotic, four-cam LT5 with a pushrod engine is indeed a milestone for a production car. Sam Winegarden, chief engineer for GM Powertrains Small Block team, states, Conventional wisdom out there will tell you that you need to have a four-valve overhead cam arrangement, and that is simply not the case. From an industry perspective it just tells you that the pushrod small-block has a bright future, and theres more where that came from.
The increase in power is a result of several factors. Gases flowing into and out of the combustion chamber pass by new hollow-stem valves. The stems of the exhaust valves are filled with a liquid sodium alloy, which allows for better heat transference. The lighter valves reduce valvetrain mass and allow the valvetrain to keep contact with the new, more aggressive cam profile. The cam profile, the greatest contributor to the increased power, allows more air to be pumped in and out, which equates to more power.
Another power increase for the 2002 Z06 came through the elimination of the dual-pup (pre-) catalytic converters found just past the exhaust manifolds. Eliminating these converters allows for increased exhaust flow, while the under-floor (main) cats have been modified and continue to meet NLEV emissions standards. All of these factors contribute to the 2002 Z06s ability to achieve 0-60 times of 3.9 seconds, and quarter-mile times of 12.4 seconds at 116 mph.
Production for the 2002 Z06 is slated at 20 percent, but GM will see what the demand is for this special model. Denoting the increase in power, a badge with 405 will be integrated into the Z06 logo. Other changes include revised shock valving, a larger front sway bar, specific camber settings, Head Up Display now standard, and cast-aluminum wheels to replace the forged Z06 wheels of the 2001 model. The magnesium wheels are no longer available on the coupe and convertible.
To handle the increased horsepower and the additional 15 lb-ft of torque, the clutch on the Z06 has been redesigned. The disc thickness has been increased by 20 percent (5 mm to 6 mm) and the premium alloy steel wire damper springs were redesigned to increase wind-up rate from 33 Newton-meter degrees to 35 Newton-meter degrees.
The 2002 coupe and convertible have also reaped the rewards of improved engineering with better noise isolation, better idle quality, and improved fuel economy. Also, all Corvettes equipped with the optional Z51 suspension will receive (like the Z06) aluminum front stabilizer-bar links. The AM/FM stereo with in-dash CD player is now standard with the AM/FM cassette and 12-disk CD changer as an option. Navy Blue Metallic and Dark Bowling Green Metallic are cancelled and replaced by Electron Blue for the exterior color options.
Each year the fine folks at Bowling Green pull a rabbit out of the hat and give us Corvette lovers something to look forward to (or should I say, aspire to?) while inadvertently making next years job of improving upon it that much more difficult. And they make it look so easy! We cant wait to prove Sam Winegardens words for ourselves: If you cant get out of that car with a grin on your face, youre in the wrong business. We expect to be grinning from ear to ear.

101 Lazy Girl Makeover Tips
From wispy and sideswept to pin-straight and full, flirty fringe stole the spotlight at John Galliano, Hermès, Marc Jacobs, and Miu Miu.
GET THE LOOK: Forgo perfectly blunt ends — choppy, layered bangs are more flattering for most face shapes and easier to trim yourself.
Beach season may be months away, but seriously sculpted, sun-kissed complexions — like those seen at Band of Outsiders, MaxMara, and Thakoon — are the perfect way to warm up.
GET THE LOOK: To work a naturally sunny effect, choose a bronzer that's just one to two shades deeper than your skin tone and dust the parts of the face where the sun typically hits, like the bridge of the nose, forehead, and cheekbones. "It's all about believable glow, not a shake 'n' bake sizzle," says makeup artist Dick Page, backstage at Michael Kors.

A man wearing a green leprechaun-style hat was arrested on allegations he started a brush fire in San Rafael after being bounced from a wedding reception he crashed.
Juan Osmin Duran, who turns 40 on Tuesday, was booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of arson. His bail was set at $50,000.
The incident occurred at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday at the Elks Lodge at 1312 Mission Ave. Police said a man tried to get into a wedding reception and became belligerent when the staff evicted him.
A manager saw the man flick a lighter or lit matches into the dry brush on his way off the property, said San Rafael police spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher.
The fire burned about 18 square feet at the base of a tree and was not close to any buildings, said San Rafael fire Chief Christopher Gray.
Police found the suspect outside a Fourth Street bar about two blocks away, still wearing the distinctive tall green top hat, Rohrbacher said. The suspect was identified as Duran and booked.
The district attorney's office filed charges Monday.

Bottom-Fishers and Knife-Catchers
Bottom-fishing can be tough, but I don't find it quite as tough as catching a falling knife. These are two very different approaches to trading and portfolio management. Traders who are trying to catch a falling knife are taking a shot on the long side in a stock that is falling very rapidly, usually in a short period of time -- a few hours to a few days. Often there is very stock-specific news which sets the knife in motion. The objective here is generally a short-term trade that seeks to profit from a snapback rally or at least a dead-cat bounce.
Bottom-fishing is different. These stocks are generally -- and we have to speak in general terms since each stock is unique -- names that have been wallowing near their lows for some time. Sentiment is low, but when I bottom-fish, I also want to see volatility on the lower side. When volatility is high around a stock, then sentiment is varied, and there are still those with hope and many with despair. I want names where people just don't seem to care much anymore. And I want a variety of names, from the value side to growth that has lost its way. A few quality names from a sector or country that is far out of favor can fit the bill as well....258 more words left in this article.

Individual 'progs' to become available through Diamond in US...
To insure your action figure collection, get in touch with our sponsor Collectibles Insurance.
For a great selection of action figures and collectibles, check out BigBadToyStore.com, ToyDorks.com, BriansToys.com, ToyWiz.com, SmallJoes.com, MonkeyDepot.com, and Sekaido.com.
For an amazing selection of original sculptures, statues, prints and DVDs be sure to check out ShiflettBrothers.com.
2000 AD - Britain's longest running and most celebrated sci-fi comic - announces a step change in the way it is distributed in the USA.
From August, the weekly British title will be featured in Diamond Distribution's PREVIEWS magazine as individual issues, known as 'progs' - with October's Prog 1754 being the first retailers and consumers can order as a single issue.
Presently, copies of 2000 AD are bound in monthly packs of four or five issues that can be ordered from Diamond. This means readers have to shell out up to $25 for a single item. However, this distribution change means that 2000 AD will once again be a weekly comic on both sides of the Atlantic giving readers the chance to pick up thirty-two pages of action EVERY week for a fraction of the cost of one of the monthly packs.
Overseas readers who prefer their comics digitally can also download copies of 2000 AD via Clickwheel.net, with digital releases only a week behind physical copies, and for just £1.49 ($2.44) making them great value in the current market.
The announcement follows hot on the heels of 2000 AD's US release of the special hard-cover dust-jacket edition of Sláine: The Horned God (read our review HERE). It shows 2000 AD means business about getting its talented work seen beyond its loyal UK readership. As a US fan, I couldn't be more excited.

Lodge for champions opens in Delamere
7:30am Monday 21st April 2014
7:30am Monday 21st April 2014
A HOLIDAY lodge for disabled youngsters and their families has been unveiled in Delamere.
Named by some of the young people who will use it, Champions Lodge was officially opened by Christine Pickthall MBE.
The lodge is built to hotel standard and has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with specialist equipment in both bathrooms and one of the bedrooms.
Work surfaces in the kitchen can be raised or lowered and outside there is a fenced garden, accessible car park and level access to the lodge.
The project was funded by the Government's Aiming High for Disabled Children programme and Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWAC).
Christine, chairman of Vale Royal Disability Services, said: "I was pleased to accept the invitation because it provided an opportunity to celebrate the successful partnership established between CWAC and all the young disabled people who were encouraged to give a voice in the design and construction of this lovely 'fully accessible' building in the heart of Delamere Forest.
"I know that it will provide a much needed and much used short break facility for young disabled people and their families."
The lodge is for families who have disabled children and young people up to the age of 25.
CWAC leader Clr Mike Jones said: "This wonderful building is the result of a successful partnership with everyone doing that little bit extra to ensure that the lodge is first class and allows families with a disabled child or young person to have a holiday break in the wonderful environment of Delamere."
To book at the lodge ring 01248 848059.

Friday ended with yet another flat session in the major U.S. indices. This is becoming a pattern. Yet it's a change from the rest of the Friday sessions in 2013 so far, which had all brought rallies regardless of where the market had been earlier in the week. In fact, this was only the second Friday in the red -- and the other one saw the S&P 500 lose just a fraction of a point.
Where is the enthusiasm for stocks? I mean, this is supposed to be a bull market, isn't it? We are supposedly getting all sorts of equity inflows, aren't we? So why does the market lack any life?
When I looked at Friday statistics, I was struck by the high Arms Index (TRIN) -- because I found the volume oddly negative, considering the late-day rally in the indices, and a flat NYSE advance-decline line and the flat S&P. The S&P ticked down 1.5 points, yet net volume was -780 million shares. Just a week earlier, as it gained 8.5 points, volume came to +770 million -- so that earlier upside was in line, while the more recent downside was worse than it seemed on the surface. If we add up these stats, we get a 7-point rise on flat volume.
If we look at it in the form of a volume-momentum chart, we see a similar effect. This 10-day moving average of net volume is just crossing the zero line -- all while the S&P is at new highs. Where's the life in this market?
What really struck me was that the pattern looks similar to how it did this time last year: a relentless upward move in the S&P, and a decidedly downward momentum in volume. The good news is that there was that one last fling higher in mid-March. The bad news is that last fling was literally the last fling.
Turning to sentiment, I noticed that the one-week reading of the Consensus Bulls is now at 73%. This high reading was last achieved at last year's September high. In the spring of 2012, it climbed as high as 78%.
If we take this one step further, we see that the four-week moving average has not yet turned over, which is what it tends to do at or near market highs. Unless it moves under 64% this coming week, it is likely to continue on its upward path. However, this is the final week of February, so it has a potential to stall out as prior readings in the 70s begin shifting out of the moving average.
Finally, as noted here Friday, the chart of the KBW Bank Index (BKX) is hovering on the uptrend line. If we lose the banks, the S&P should falter. If the index gets saved, the same should occur in the S&P. The uptrend line has not yet been disturbed.
One last note on gold, which has been in a channel since the fall: It bounced off the lower line of the channel Friday, and it's likely to move up again later this week.
In sum, I think the S&P will break -- but until it cracks that line or the BKX breaches its uptrend line, the selling will remain minimal. Short-term, I think gold should bounce this week, but I would not consider myself bullish on it for any longer time horizon. As for the greenback and U.S. Treasury bonds, I remain bullish on the dollar index, and I am currently neutral on interest rates.

Of course I've been a huge fan of Penzeys for ages, and could probably add their entire product line to my list of picks. This dried lemon peel has the excellent quality I consistently notice with their dried herbs and spices. I'm also loving the new glass jars, a new feature for the small sizes. I'm really looking forward to visiting my first Penzey's store when I go to Chicago this summer. I do want to warn you though, because if you visit their website to buy this dried lemon peel, you'll probably end up buying a lot of other Penzey's products too!

The perfect holiday hair accessory might be lurking in your jewelry box. Allure has gathered some expert tips for creating the perfect hairpiece out of the baubles you already own.
December tends to be an expensive month. Instead of buying a new hair accessory for your party circuit, take a tip from celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak and dig around in your jewelry drawer. "I bring a slew of hair accessories when doing red carpet, but often times we end up using a brooch or a vintage earring that the stylist brought," she says. "You just need to have the right pins, and you can make anything work." Below, two of Roszak's favorite pieces to repurpose, plus one of my own.

A brooch. "These are the easiest to put in your hair," says Roszak, who used one in Nicole Kidman's updo at the Oscars last year. "There's usually a clasp at the back. You just weave it through the hair like you would a pin, and then secure it with a pin or two to make sure it won't slip out."
An earring. It's best to use dangly or clip-on earrings rather than studs. Clip-ons work just like a bobby pin or barrette, while dangly earrings with hooks need a bit of tweaking. "At the 2012 Golden Globes, Emma Stone's stylist brought these beautiful earrings and asked if I could pin them in her hair," remembers Roszak. "I removed the hook so that I could slip a pin through the top of the earring and tucked them into her low chignon."
A necklace. I love the look of a multi-strand necklace hanging from the back of a half-up hairstyle — it's a little bit Game of Thrones, but also really gorgeous if you pick a delicate-looking piece. Open the necklace and secure the ends over each ear, crisscrossing your pins so they hold better. If the necklace is on the heavier side, use a few pins at the middle of the back of your head so it doesn't drag all your hair down.

"Men in Black 3" Starring Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin. PG-13 (sci-fi action/violence, language).
"Men in Black" was a surprise hit at the box office in 1997. Five years later, "Men in Black II" was released, and while it wasn't as big a hit with critics, it still made a lot of money. Now, after ten years, numerous production problems and over 3-three years away from the big screen for Smith, we finally get "MIB 3".
Smith and Jones reprise their roles as Agents J and K, who now feel their relationship is missing the original spark and that they're getting too old to continue hunting down and killing aliens. The evil Boris the Animal (who doesn't like the second part of that name) has escaped from a prison designed specifically for him on the Moon. He wants revenge on K for blasting off one of his arms over 40 years ago. After a failed attempt to kill K in present-day, Boris decides to travel back to 1969 and kill the younger K.
When J shows-up to work the next day looking for K, he learns that K has been dead for over 40 years. So J decides to also travel back to '69 so he can save his partner. When he gets there, he meets up with Younger K (Brolin). Once the two agents adjust to what actually is going on, they have to work together to stop Boris, who has bigger plans than just killing K.
As you can tell from that synopsis, the plot of "MIB 3" is a bit complicated. You do have to pay attention, as there's a meaning and purpose to all the dialogue and situations. Everything makes sense and comes together, including a surprise ending.
Barry Sonnenfeld, who directed the first two "MIB" films, is back and he gets the tone of the friendship between the agents - past and present - exactly right. And he has a lot of fun with both looks: sci-fi and 60's.
Smith is on top of his game as usual. Jones has more of a supporting role this time. The best performance in "Men in Black 3" is delivered by Brolin. He is perfectly cast as the younger Jones, bringing a surprising amount of depth and heart to the Younger K character. He and Smith have great chemistry from their first scene together. Like the original, this is an enjoyable effort that includes an emotional punch.
