Where Are They Now? Kenny Zahrt
Friday, November 23, 2012 | 1:00 PMRacer X: Kenny, what's happening, man? How about we do a Where Are They Now interview with you, and for Racer X Online?
Kenny Zahrt: Oh man, really? I am just an average guy sitting here on my couch watching TV. Nothing really special going on with me, but if you want to talk a little bit, that's cool (laughs).
Well, I thought it might be cool to talk about your career a little bit and to let people know what you are doing now that you no longer race.
Yeah, well of course man! That's cool. Man, motocross for me has been my life – its all I know, and still all I do! I have always been around motorcycles, worked on motorcycles and ridden motorcycles. That's it, that's what I did – and still do! But yeah, for me, I am just on the straight and narrow road, doing the good thing!
You were known as a Southern California specialist – meaning you were a real fast guy that raced a lot of the local races in and around Southern California and made a good name for yourself.
Well, yeah, Indian Dunes was my home track but I raced all over and was always chasing the money races. But when I got older, I raced Indian Dunes mostly. But I also raced the AMA Nationals in the early days, and I went all over the country in the early to mid 1970's. That was a real special time, things were so down to earth and fun.
Back in the day, Kenny loved racing anything and everything. This was a Gran Prix held at indian Dunes ... riding along with his little friend.

What are some of your favorite memories from your racing career?
Oh where do I begin with that? I can't remember what I do remember and what I don't remember! I am a racer and probably hit my head one too many times, so who knows! No, but seriously, there are some great memories. I would say just hanging out on the road and traveling around in the vans were some of the best times. All the riders were friends, and we all stuck together, and got into all sorts of trouble when we were not racing. It was me, [Jimmy] Weinert, [Jim] Pomery and [Brad] Lackey who spent a lot of time together, and it was just fun.
Also, in 1974, I was racing a Bultaco and it was really good. The bike was fast, and I was real light. I loved that bike, it was just so good, and it really helped with my results. That year I won the 1974 RedBud national. That same year, I also won a big money race, it was a big 'ole party race in Nebraska, and they had a purse of $25,000. It was muddy, and I rode really good in the mud. I think I took home a total of $2,500 for the win, which was real good for me at the time, and for a 19 year old kid. But really, for me, I was just a fun racer. I liked to ride the bike and race, and have fun when it was all over. I might have been able to do better if I got more serious about it, but I have no regrets, maybe if I did that then I wouldn't have had fun anymore and would have stopped racing.
Tell me about your one National win at RedBud.
Well, it was 1974 and I rode that Bultaco. The thing shifted on the right, and had the brake on the left. Back then, the first turn at Redbud went to the right. I got such a gnarly holeshot, I just kept the bike pinned and ran away with it. I had a 10-15 second lead. I then came out and did the same thing in the second moto, and walked away with that one as well. I made like $1700. That was a lot of money for me back then. These were the early days, and we would just show up and race. But now it's so serious.
How was the money back then?
It was good for back then. Nothing like today, though. But all my life I have been blessed to make my living racing bikes. I turned pro in 1971, and I went through local scene, and got fast. Then I hit the nationals, and won a few things here and there. But then I stopped doing the nationals in the late '70's and concentrated on the CMC races after that. I won a truck, made some money and won quite a few boats. I couldn't imagine a better life! Back then, CMC racing was super competitive. I started racing CMC in 1969, then went and did the nationals, and then came back. Motorcycle racing teaches you about life. I am so laid back, and others are so stressed. If there are 40 guys on the line, I take off in tenth place and just ride around, and if I win, I win. If you have a bad day, you just deal with it. I know there is always a chance to make it better. There is always a second moto, there is always a second chance.
Back in the day there was never a dull moment when Kenny was at the track. For this GP he showed up with his cigarette smoking "little friend" taped to the handlebars ... he then set out to smoke the field.

How closely do you follow the sport today and what do you think about it?
Oh, I still follow it, and try to hit the races when I can. I goto some of the Supercross races, but I sit up in the cheap seats up top. I leave 'em all alone down there in the pits. I don't need to go rub elbows and hang out with everyone, I just like to watch. But getting out of the shop can be tough, as there is always work to do. But to me, you know everything is scripted and the riders are told what to say. We said what we wanted to back then. If you wanted to punch a guy cause he hit you, then you said it. And sometimes you even punched him as well! I also think the tracks are way softer than what they used to be. The whoops today are basically just bumps, and the jumps are not scary, and in supercross, it seems like everyone is doing all the jumps, all the same. Tracks are so simple. I think supercross should be more gnarly than it is, more like Daytona where it is real rough and hard to get a rhythm going. When we were racing, they didn't have whoops – a backhoe would just come in and dig pits, and you had to figure out how to get through them without crashing. If you went too slow, you went over the bars. If you went too fast, you kicked off the side of the track. But you know, things are different with five inches of travel, but the tracks were just so much rougher. From my standpoint, the rough and technical tracks are just the way to go.
So Kenny, what are you doing now? I assume you are a working stiff just like the rest of us?
Yup. Every day, get up and go to work! I have my own shop up here in Canyon Country. Basically, I work on bikes. I do a lot of suspension and have always been a mechanical guy. Back in the day, I was always good at working on stuff and making it better, and we all know the stuff needed it back then! I am not the most book smart type of guy, I am just good with my hands and know bikes inside and out. That is how I make my living. The shop is up in Canyon Country, and called Haulin' Zhart.
Haulin' Zahrt? That's an awesome name!
Yeah, well, it used to be Hall and Zahrt, as my old partner's name was John Hall. But he got hurt and wasn't able to be my partner anymore, so I changed the name. I fix all types of motorcycles, whatever it might be. It's just me, but sometimes people think we have two employees, if they get me on a bad day- you know the whole split personality thing [laughs]! So yeah, you can say we have two employees!
In the '70s in So Cal, there were all sorts of races, including a team race where you rode two-up on a MX track. Here, Kenny and his brother Dave battle for the lead

What about family life?
You know, that's a good story as well. Back in the day, I got married in 1983 to Tina Marie, but that only lasted until 1987, and we amicably split up. She went off and had some kids and got married again, but then as fate had it, 25 years later, we got back together! I like to call it the first moto and the second moto of our marriage. She has two children, and we are all real close. Tanner is 17 and Tyler is 20. Tyler (Varner) is a pretty fast rider. He can moto pretty good. Tanner is really good on the shifter carts and is more into the four wheel thing, but we are all still into bikes.
You did some work on the epically famous motocross movie "Winners Take All." In fact, your name was lumped into the PA system when they announcer announced, "They are all here – Johnson, Bailey, Ward, Glover and Zahrt." What was that all about?
Oh man, that was a lot of fun. I did some Hollywood stunt work on the side, and that movie came along. As a stuntman, it was awesome - you go there and do a little work, ride around and get paid really well. But what I really remember about doing that stunt work was the food. The catering was really amazing! We ate so well, all day long, and as much as you wanted! If I were a movie star I would be a big, fat old person! But that movie was a trip, and fun to do. I also did a Yamaha commercial as well as one of the Batman movies. But on the dark side of stunt work, it could be tough. When I went to a race, I knew what I could do. If there was a big jump, I knew I could either do it, or it was too big and I wouldn't try it. But when I was stunt man, people would make the choices for me, and I was told what to do. It was sometimes scary as people said "you can jump here" and in reality it was a super sketch jump with a angled take off or a lousy landing.
Do you still ride for fun?
Yeah sometimes, but it is not so easy for me. I did come out and race the 1998 Glen Helen National on the YZ400. That was fun, but I didn't qualify. But now, I ride a mountain bike a lot. I had a bad fall and lost sight in my right eye, and I have a bad foot as well that doesn't work. So I have specially prepared bike. If you enjoy it, then its cool. I have been lucky to have done it as long as I have.
Thanks for chatting with us, Kenny.
Thank you! Its been a good ride, and it isn't over yet!
Kenny was always a force to be reckoned with, no matter the track, the terrain or the bike. This was an AMA Qualifier held at Four Corners, a track in San Diego County, California.

The Conversation
I remember Kenny winning $500 at the Evil Kneival motocross race at Snake River. Kenny won a Jumping contest on a Bultaco wearing jeans a t-shirt and some construction boots, he launched that Bull.
I always here how the tracks were tougher back in the day and I didnt believe them. I then watched a video of the first SX I attended and they are right, those tracks were straight up gnarly!
"The Dart."
You guys tell me if you remember this 'cuz I think it was Zahrt ...... mid '70s, Modern Cycle Magizine there were pics of a guy jumping this test bike, taking both hands off the bars and crossing his arms over his chest. Back then it was totally insane - the begining of freestyle stuff you might say. Man I think it was Kenny. Anyone conjur that memory up?
I remember Kenny doing jumps off wooden freestyle ramps out in the sand wash of Indian Dunes back in the early 80's. Definitely early freestyle. He was one of the kings of Indian Dunes along with Jim Holly and a handful of other local pros that also carried an AMA card. I totally agree with his comment about the tracks being rough back then. You really had to pick your lines. The biggest annoyance to me in the industry is the blatant sponsorship pitches. When these guys rattle off their sponsors like robots. I'd like to thank, blah, blah, blah, blah. You'd think it was an academy award acceptance. Utterly stupid. Good times Kenny!
When I think of Kenny Zahrt, I remember Bultaco!!! It is automatic just like Tom Rapp and Jim Pomeroy!!! Those bikes were awesome back in the day. Did Kenny race regularly in Moorpark at a track called Baymare or something like that? Nice interview. Keep 'em coming Racer X!!!
kenny the"dart" zahrt.actually raced alot against his bro jon. kenny was cool, always smiling under his helmet,he would talk to anybody. you would see him riding with a cast on his wrist,if he had a crash he would still ride and hit the big jumps just showwing off . kenny for sure is one of the good guys.
The tracks just seem rougher because you only had 4inches of rear wheel travel.Now the SX tracks from late 70's to 90's were probably rougher than to day.If you took a top rider from today and transported them back to SX in the mid 70's to early 80's.They would blow the doors of the old school riders like Ellis,Hannah,Smith and Tripes etc.The reason why the modern riders would beat the old school riders in SX is because they would jump stuff that the old school riders wouldn't do.Every on the old school bikes they would do stuff that the old school riders couldn't do.Their technique would be so much better than the old riders.Just watch some of the races on youtube and you'll see for yourself what I am talking about.The only draw back would be that there would be more injurys.I know that it would be hard to imagine more people getting hurt that what the 2012 SX season had.(8 of the top 10 injured).The reason being is because the old bikes couldn't handle the the jumps that the modern guy would be doing on those old bikes.
@Marko, yeah I remember something like that. He was doing some test riding I think. I cut out a page from the magazine titled," Zarht in a flight pattern". He had a bit of a "crossup" goin on and airin it out. I had pictures form those magazines plastered all over my walls. All early to mid 70's magazines. I was 13 or so at the time. The riders were always hangin out by their vans smilin and havin good times.
So good to hear about the guys from back in the day. For me there are so many stories about Kenny as I was there back then with all those good times. But one of the best stories was at one of the Elsinore Grand Prix races when Kenny came in with his jersey all ripped up, and we ask him what the hell happen? He said well I got run over. We were like holly crap what happen? Do you know who it was? He was like well, yeah. I ran over myself. Right about then we all start laughing. How do you run over yourself? Well, I was pined going down that big sand wash, hit something and went over the bars and my bike then ran over me. Not only was the jersey ripped but there were tire marks on his back from his own bike. Now how many guys do you know that got ran over by their own bike? This guys was funny, always a good time and fun to hang out with. So good to hear what you are up to and love the wife story. Good to hear you are still at it. Hope to see you someday and talk about those good old days. Till then God bless and be safe.
Im old n cenile, but didn't he ride the shi* outta a Ossa phantom too? I remember the bultaco but seems he rode a ossa too.
Could thing we have people like fred to straighten Kenny out. What would he know? He's only won a national and been involved in motorcycles his whole life. I guess the way to test the "old riders suck compared to today's riders" theory, short of inventing time travel, would be to have give a current rider an old Bultaco and have them take a hot lap at Red Bug after the national is over.
Good to hear from the "Dart" :-) ....."jumpin & slidin" his favorites.
Another oldschooler here, remembering the good times when moto was more innocent and not wrapped up in the demands of Corp money sponsership, requiring mentioning them everytime a rider opens his mouth w a mic in his face
Fred, two reasons todays riders are faster. 1: the sport has evolved and these guys are going very, very fast around rough tracks. Rider technique has evolved big time over the years, thus allowing manuevers never thought of back in the day.
2: the 4t power curve also inables these guys to pull off some of the stuff they do, as well as SUPERIOR suspension/handling & performance out of these machines today. Far and away vastly superior to even works bikes back in the day.
There's been millions poured into suspension developement.
Really, no way to fairly compare the two eras, other than-as prev mentioned, a time warp, but given same time frame, same equipment...it would be very, very close racing, I can assure you. Don't sell the oldschoolers short.
But yeah, todays Villopoto, Dungey, Reed, Stewart et al....are very, very talented riders with outstanding technique on amazing machinery.
God bless yall--ride on! :-)
I really like these articles. I also like hearing about my favorite brand - Bultaco. Still have my Dad's 1970 250 Pursang from his mid-70s district 37 days. It runs, but I would never ride it - It is just pure art to me. I plan on moving it as furnature into my living room at some point...
At my advancing age, it seems like there is more playstation than grit in our sport. Everything is big money. What I liked was the diversity of yesteryear where unknowns could/would come and make a mark on a particular event. Nowdays, we get weekly updates on AC and his progress toward becoming a pro, which drains away some of the excitement.
For me, people like Kenny were part of the rich color of the sport that may have been lost as we carefully launder our sport to attract sponsors. Eventual - yes. Desirable - not so much.
Good to hear from Kenny though!
@ MXBob good grief what the hell are you talking about.I didn't say a thing about Kenny.
@ Observer I pretty much covered what you said.I really don't need you to tell me the difference from then until today.I ride both vintage and modern bikes all the time.I've been to the races and watching pros for decades.And yes you can compare todays rider to the old school riders.If you could send RV back to 75,76,77-79 and put him on one of their bikes he would smoke them.He would jump things and scrub things and have coner speed that would blow their minds on their own bike.He would have skills that they could only imagine.I'm 51 years old and I will jump things on my 79 yz400 that I never would of jumped back in 1979.That is because the suspension on my modern bike gave me the confidence to jump things that I never would of jumped back then.Once you do it a a modern bike you just know you can do it on a older bike.In the early 80's Johnny O ,David Bailey,Hansen took the US riders to a whole new level compared to the GP riders back then.The reason for this is because of SX.Thats when we started going back to the MXDN and dominating MX.The GP riders were amazed by those riders and their new technique's that carried US riders a step above the GP riders.Thats how it would looked to the US riders of the seventies if RV was able to travel back in time.See what I mean.I think you can compare todays riders to the old school riders.Professer Bailey left a comment on here today I wish he would of chimed in and gave us his two cents on this subject.I guess he just left a comment and didn't read those.
Nice to hear about Kenny. I was tidying up my garage yesterday ( all tracks closed in England because of floods ) and I was reading all my old Dirt Bikes and Motocross Actions and it brought back a lot of great memories. I was lucky enough to ride Indian Dunes in 84 and I was so excited to be there, it seemed like Dirt Bike was always talking about Kenny and he was one of my heroes.
@Professor, you gonna marry Darlene again some day?
fred you sure you are ok?i dont know what your jumping,but it aint the jumps i jump. i raced in the 70s-80s and now. there is no way i would hit some of the rythmes,step ups,and uphill dubs on a 79 yz, that i hit on my 450f.
I think if you took someone like RV back to 1972 and started him off on a Honda CL90 like I was on, he wouldn't go any faster by the time he was 18 than Marty Tripes or any of the fast guys back then. It's all relative. I saw guys like Hannah and Howerton jump things back then that I thought would break the frame. But at the same time, they wouldn't jump things that most good riders would sail over today. It comes down to what's expected. At a race in San Antonio back in the 70's, Howerton was jumping a 30 foot drop off that was straight down with a flat landing. I thought for sure he would get hurt or break his Husky. I think its the same drop off where Jim West got killed. But he cleaned it every time. At other races, every one of the pros would roll jumps that they would just triple today. Back then the bikes broke frames and bent forks on a regular basis so you knew even if you made a jump your bike might need major repairs afterwards.
Guys, a champion today would be a champion back in the day just as a champion back in the day would be one today. Technique go back look at Robert , Lackey, Pomeroy and others they scrubbed (back then it was getting sideways), what guys do today is nothing new just refined with better machinery. Good to hear you're still hanging Kenny enjoyed racing with you and the bench racing afterwards.
O xcountryfreak Jim West died at Saddle back Not San Antonio
Here's my theory on past versus present...
I will only use champions as the subjects of my theory.
If RV jumped in a time machine and lined up at Unadilla in 1977, he'd get smoked. If he had a chance to ride the older motorcycle for a week before lining up, he'd smoke them.
If KZ jumped in a time machine back in 1977 and lined up at Unadilla in 2012, he'd get smoked. If he had a chance to ride the newer motorcycle for a week before lining up, he'd still get smoked.
Here's the reasons for scenario one: Without any practice time, RV would be lining up against the best in the world on machinery they are completely accustomed to. You can't expect anyone to know the limits and capabilities of something on their first ride. Give him a week to figure it out and the modern techniques he grew up mastering would shine and he'd leave them in the dust.
Here's the reason for scenario two: KZ would line up on a far superior motorcycle than he is accustomed to. All the riders he is racing are in the groove and it's normal machinery for them. And they are also the best at what they do. Give him a week to figure out the motorcycle and he'd still get dusted. Why? Because the modern techniques take more than a week to learn. The fact that modern riders grew up racing that way means he will never catch up. If it were a couple of different techniques, I'd say he's got a chance. But it's a lot more than that.
Had he grown up in this era, he'd still be champion. Champs are champs. No matter what era they are in.
Glad I'm an older guy that caught the motocross bug over 40 years ago and still love the sport.
Zahrt was National Number 402 the day he won 250 class at Red Bud in '74.
It was Bultaco's last National overall victory.
Danny Turner gave Bultaco their last moto win at Plymouth National in first 125 moto 1975.
When bikes had their own character and an abundance of tracks and practice spots to race and practice on.
The Grand Prix riders were the best at the time. Ake and his string of overalls in '72 Trans-AMA's. Think 8.
While I miss those days, only 2 Sat's away from the SX opener. Thanks KZ.
Good to hear from Kenny- I grew up seeing him at the races in Socal. Bay Mare was the track closest to home for me. Great track, and Kenny pretty much had it wired.
They had a portion of the track that was only used for the experts/pros/"seniors" called 'the senior hill'. My brothers and I plus a few others would make the trek to the top of it and man, it was great spectating from up there! I remember a race in '72 where Kenny on the Bultaco and Greg Robertson on the CZ I were just hammering it, with Kenny pulling out a narrow victory. Another one was a race long battle at "Rough Rider" cycle park in Simi (now, sadly another development, my bro tells me) at a race called the "Tri-Am'. Kenny and Jeff Wright (Rickman Zundapp) going at it. Kenny on a Sherpa-S. 1971- think he'd turned pro not long before.
Man, things were simpler back then. One of the coolest parts of racing was that every manufacturer figured they had a better way of skinning the cat, back in the days before CAD/CAM, and every bike looked and sounded unique because of it. Suspensions were of the same basic configuration, but they shocks and forks were all quite different across the different marks. And each bike had its own distinctive exhaust note. You could tell which make of bike just passed with your eyes closed based on the sound. Today I challenge the average spectator to be able to tell the difference in sound between any of the 5 manufacturers' offerings. And factory bikes sound pretty much like what you buy at the shop. So I miss that. Factory bikes back in the early 70's sounded distinctly different from what you'd pick up at your local dealer (TRICK!, we'd say). Two strokes just sound neater to me anyway, but maybe that's just because I grew up with 'em. Nah. They sound neater.
I remember a National in '74 at Bay Mare where Kenny seemed to have the measure of Pierre Karsmakers, but could never quite get around him for the win.
Being as Kenny was almost always on a Bultaco back then (did see him once on a DKW 125 at Hopetown in '72, I think it was. I was like, "Man! Say it ain't so!), I was always rooting for him, plus Tom Rapp and Jim Pomeroy.
And just like it comes across in the interview, it seemed like Kenny was always having fun out there.
Some years back I once talked with Barry Higgins over the phone while he was running his KTM shop out of Georgia. A few weeks previously I had seen him run a Saturday vintage race prior to the USGP at Unadilla, and I commented to him that it seemed like he was riding that '74 KTM 250 faster than I had ever seen him on the Ossa back in '72, when I saw him run the 250 class at Saddleback (Trans AMA). Like way faster. He said, (paraphrasing) that 'you just know more now as to just what's doable- with new-tech bikes you find yourself learning stuff that you wouldn't have thought to try with the old iron'.
So my thoughts are that there's this body of knowledge that has accrued over the years that comes about with advances in technology, which helps spur innovation in technique that goes hand-in-hand with the technology. You not as likely to have one without the other. For example, clutch pulls used to be heavier than s__t! Front brakes used to be almost two-handed affairs. Placebo brakes! Kids take that stuff for granted today, but without light clutch pulls and super-effective brakes, evolution in technique would have come much more slowly. Not to say innovation wouldn't have happened anyway. There's always one or two riders in each generation that raises the bar, irrespective of the technology available. Keep in mind too that when a sport is in its infancy there's plenty of room for innovation, and over time unsuccessful techniques get weeded out. As a sport matures, the body of knowledge matures with it.
So I guess there will always be discussions about old-schoolers and the new kids-who'd be faster, but I think it is a spurious argument. Yeah, you time warp RV back to '74 and he'd no doubt show 'em how it's done. But on the other hand, if you plugged in a usb stick with all that knowledge into say, Kenny's head in '74, then time warp him to 2012 (an event just as unlikely, LOL!) , there's no doubt in my mind he'd be competitive with today's fastest. But in the end it's just speculation, though it can make for some interesting discussion.
Finally, thanks for the great memories, Kenny!
BTW, I have a bunch of old Super-8 film of mostly Bay Mare, Saddleback and Carlsbad races that I'll have to convert and put up on youtube one of these days. Some rare stuff (I guess it's all rare stuff!) like Mark Blackwell doing a couple of demonstration laps (solo) around Bay Mare during an all-junior day. Gotta dig 'em out of my folks attic though.
FRED no way the riders of today would be scared to ride over obstacles on those old bikes after you see how much better the new ones are they know those old bike ar not nearly as capable. if villapoto grew up in the era of some of those old bikes he probably would be great but not doing anything better technique wise they where limited by there machines
Oh man, I hung out with Kenny (Zahrt The Dart) several times. I had a 1984 Honda CR250 and was racing southern Cali, mostly DeAnza, If anyone remembers that track. I originally had Selvy's (Rob Selvy) do my motor and a rear shock re-valve. The motor was good but the rear shock SUCKED! I don't remember how I came to talk to Kenny but he was working at North Hollywood Honda at the time and he said, yeah, I can make that shock work for you. So, I drove it up to him (from Palm Springs) and he re-valved it and sure enough it worked awesome. I also went with him to his house and he sold me a new pair of white boots he had extra from a sponser. If you're reading, Kenny, do you remember me,??? I'm Darryn, That was around 1984. I think I also sent him my shock one time on a Grey Hound bus for same day service for a race I had the following Saturday. Anyway, some time later, Kenny came out to a local race at De Anza and I remember he was 30 (yrs old) wooo, that was old to us back then... Lol. But in motocross, especially back then it is old. He smoked the pro class at 30! I was in awe! I'm really saddened by hearing about his eye and foot problem, that's awful, sorry bud. I guess when you go that fast things eventually happen. I know I have a huge list of injuries including 5 major concussions.... Take care Kenny and it was great to see this mag do a write-up on you! I still think of you from time to time from those days. Funny how people effect others lives.
Sorry Zahrts fans, BEWARE
Don't let Kenny work on ur bike if u value your life. People rave about how good Kenny is as a mechanic. Well, let me tell u how he is these days 2013. He works on dirt bikes and street bikes drunk stinking of liquor and who knows what else he is on. He is a dangerous mechanic. He will leave ur bike at his shop for weeks to months making dollars on tire changes and oil changes. Then he will work on your bike. Sorry for the bad review but one day Kenny is going to work on a street bike and someone will die from a faulty chain he did improperly or something and die. Or even ur child taking on a triple and the part Kenny did while wasted fails and ur son is killed or a quad in a wheel chair. BEWARE he might have great prices and have done good work in the past. He is messed up now and needs rehab.
I been around kennys shop in 2013 for a longtime observing him while I waited on my bike. First off he is under the influence of drugs and alcohol while fixing bikes. Dangerous combination when your life is on the line weather on dirt or on the highway. Second, He has homeless people around his shop with no teeth bragging about whats there next drug there going to take that evening. Third, His brother are all alcoholics and drug addicts whom have no better place to be but at kennys shop at 4 pm drinking a 20 pack of beer. Kenny if you read this YOU need rehab. You need to get your life together. Its disappointing to see all kennys friends praise him for how cool he is. If you are a true friend you would confront him and tell him he needs to be in a program unless you are into drugs yourself. Someone need to tell people to beware of Kennys shop. He is a dangerous mechanic at this time.Let me tell you he is a brilliant when he is sober and not on drugs but when he is on the wagon he rigs parts hoping you wont see that he did not order the parts but is using used parts to repair your bike. When he is on the wagon (drugs and Alcohol) he is dangerous. I can say this with confidence. If you disagree that fine. However I know for a fact that this man is a drug addict and needs rehab.

You've probably been wondering where I've been hiding for the past few weeks. I most certainly have not been writing as much as I normally do. Knowing you, you probably were worried sick that I had disappeared for good and would no longer be around to offer you life advice on your everyday experiences. The thing is, is that I've been traveling a lot; traveling to various cities around the United States trying to decide where I should make my next move. And it's one TOUGH decision…
My days in San Francisco are slowly coming to an end. While traveling, it suddenly became clear to me that if I stay in San Francisco, I will never get that washing machine/dryer combo that I have always dreamt of having. I will never have a garaged parking spot for my car. I will never be able to purchase a home. But most importantly, I realized recently, that if I stay in San Francisco, I will never find that cornfed husband that I so desperately want to meet. (As everyone knows, the cornfed boy does not exist in San Francisco.)
In the past month I have visited both Chicago (land of the cornfeds) and New York City (the city of big apples). After visiting both places, I just can't decide which city is ultimately a better place for me to move to.
I mean Chicago…it was AMAZING. Everywhere I looked, there were cornfed boys. They were sprouting up in cornfields that I never even knew existed before! Every restaurant I went to, every bar I walked into, there were these handsome, mid-western, cornfed boys, all just hanging out with each other in large herds. It was truly a beautiful sight.
For the first time in a long time, I felt like there were actually boys to choose from in Chicago (as opposed to the slim pickings that are in San Francisco). And these boys took me out on dates in Chicago. Like nice dates! The kind of dates where they paid for my meal, held the door open for me, walked me home, and even called (not texted) the very next day. I had never experienced anything like this before in my life. A few days after I left the land of the cornfeds, I decided once and for all to take the plunge and move to Chicago. I even started putting together a plan to make this move a reality…
But while I was in the midst of planning my big move to the land of the cornfeds, Mixie, I headed to NYC for an already arranged bachelorette party. I hadn't ever planned on liking NYC or ever even considered it as a place to move to before. I mean I know that NYC has great cheesecake and amazing bagels. Albeit these are both good reasons, are they as compelling as the corn that awaits me in another state? I am not sure?
So NYC might not have the corn that I am looking for, but it does have a lot of other things that could be good for my soul. First of all, I know a lot of people in NYC. Sure, none of these people grew up on farms, or even walked through a corn maze before. But still, at the end of the day, I have existing, strong relationships with these people. And they are good relationships too…even if they are New Yorkers.
Many people have also told me that there are a lot of rich men who live in NYC. Supposedly, it's considered to be the land of the wealthy people. With all of those suit-wearing, Wall Street-type bankers, I guess it makes sense. (I also know about rich people living in NYC from watching the Real Housewives of NYC. There's no Real Housewives of Chicago season being aired on Bravo these days. Perhaps rich people just don't exist in Chicago?) So, if it's a wealthy husband that I am seeking, because I would like to find a man who can support me and my lavish lifestyle, I can't help but wonder, would NYC be the better place to move to?
Lastly, and probably most importantly, there are Tasti D-Lites all over NYC. And, I do LOVE my ice cream! Living in NYC would allow me to eat ice cream everyday of the week without feeling any bit of guilt. Ice cream is the one possible food group that could potentially trump corn.
So, as you can see, I have an impossible decision to make. Do I move to Chicago to meet the cornfed husband I've been dreaming about for years? Or do I move to NYC and be fully content in my relationship with low-calorie ice cream?
Someone out there. Please, tell me what to do.
Corn Pops or Apple Jacks?

Watertown— Tonight, Jefferson and surrounding counties are said to be hit with 25 below zero temperatures and winds as cold as 35 below zero.
Bundling up and dressing in layers isn't the only thing folks should do during frigid temperatures. If you own a pet, you might want to consider keeping them warm tonight. According to Veterinarian, Doctor Christopher Jank of Watertown Animal Hospital, the type of breed you have makes a big difference. Northern breeds such as Husky's and Alaskan Malamute's can withstand bitter temperatures.
Most longhaired dogs can withstand the cold, however even longhaired dogs must have some sort of shelter. "A dog house outside is perfectly fine, as long as you put a blanket inside their dog house. This is specifically for longhaired dogs or dogs built for the cold. Smaller, longhaired dogs and any shorthair dog ought to be taken inside tonight", advised Doctor Jank.
So, if you have a shorthaired dog, you should consider Doctor's orders and bring your family pet indoors tonight. If your pet normally stays outdoors, make sure they have a well-insulated doghouse and ensure you follow the above guidelines.

Detergent, water, washing machine. The old formula works well enough, but add Samsung's PowerFoam technology and you'll find that it gives your laundry a faster, more thorough clean—while going easy on delicate fabrics. Read on to find out more about the advantages of using PowerFoam.
When you wash your hands, you don't just swipe a bar soap of soap across them, then rinse it off. You work up a lather and let those foamy bubbles do the hard work of getting your hands clean.
That's essentially also how PowerFoam works: PowerFoam washers take your standard High Efficiency (HE) laundry detergent and mix it with air and water, filling the drum with a thick foam while evenly distributing it throughout the drum.
And since the foam completely fills the washer, your laundry can't escape by hiding in a corner. PowerFoam allows detergent to penetrate deeply into your clothes, much better than the usual water-and-soap mix, giving your clothes a more thorough clean than ever before. You can even watch it while it works.
One of the major advantages of PowerFoam is how fast it works to penetrate your laundry. Because the foam soaks in to clothes up to 40 times faster than conventional detergent in a standard washing machine, you won't need to pre-soak clothing or use an extra-time cycle to get garments clean.
Even big or bulky items get cleaner when PowerFoam is in action. PowerFoam has been proven effective at cleaning oversized items like king-size comforters and even a heavy load of 31 bath towels in independent tests. There's no need to worry about whether or not you used enough soap or if every item of clothing is being cleaned thoroughly. With PowerFoam you can see that it's doing its job.
PowerFoam gets clothes clean, but it also takes care not to rough them up. Because clothing doesn't come into contact with undiluted detergent, you're protecting your garments from potentially harsh chemicals. The PowerFoam system also prevents stains associated with detergent spotting and dry spots, so you can be comfortable handing over your delicates to a Samsung washing machine that features PowerFoam technology.

Background Homeless persons experience excess mortality, but US-based studies on this topic are outdated or lack information about causes of death. To our knowledge, no studies have examined shifts in causes of death for this population over time.
Methods We assessed all-cause and cause-specific mortality rates in a cohort of 28 033 adults 18 years or older who were seen at Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program from January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2008. Deaths were identified through probabilistic linkage to the Massachusetts death occurrence files. We compared mortality rates in this cohort with rates in the 2003-2008 Massachusetts population and a 1988-1993 cohort of homeless adults in Boston using standardized rate ratios with 95% confidence intervals.
Results A total of 1302 deaths occurred during 90 450 person-years of observation. Drug overdose (n = 219), cancer (n = 206), and heart disease (n = 203) were the major causes of death. Drug overdose accounted for one-third of deaths among adults younger than 45 years. Opioids were implicated in 81% of overdose deaths. Mortality rates were higher among whites than nonwhites. Compared with Massachusetts adults, mortality disparities were most pronounced among younger individuals, with rates about 9-fold higher in 25- to 44-year-olds and 4.5-fold higher in 45- to 64-year-olds. In comparison with 1988-1993 rates, reductions in deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were offset by 3- and 2-fold increases in deaths owing to drug overdose and psychoactive substance use disorders, resulting in no significant difference in overall mortality.
Conclusions The all-cause mortality rate among homeless adults in Boston remains high and unchanged since 1988 to 1993 despite a major interim expansion in clinical services. Drug overdose has replaced HIV as the emerging epidemic. Interventions to reduce mortality in this population should include behavioral health integration into primary medical care, public health initiatives to prevent and reverse drug overdose, and social policy measures to end homelessness.

Figure 1. Mortality rate ratios (RRs) comparing cause-specific and overall mortality rates for the 2003-2008 and 1988-1993 homeless cohorts. Boxes are weighted in proportion to the total number of deaths owing to the specified cause. Prior to computing RRs, mortality rates from the 2003-2008 cohort were directly standardized to the age, sex, and race distribution of the 1988-1993 cohort. Differences between International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) (1988-1993) and ICD-10 (2003-2008) underlying cause of death codes were accounted for using comparability ratios from the National Center for Health Statistics. See the eTable for ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes and comparability ratios. HIV indicates human immunodeficiency virus.
Figure 2. Race-specific age-standardized mortality rates for homeless adults and adults in the general population of Massachusetts (2003-2008), stratified by sex. Mortality rate is expressed as the number of deaths per 100 000 person-years of observation for the homeless cohort, and deaths per 100 000 for the Massachusetts general population. All mortality rates are directly standardized to match the age distribution of the homeless cohort using the following categories: 18 to 24, 25 to 34, 35 to 44, 45 to 54, 55 to 64, and 65 years or older. Owing to limitations in state data, the age-specific mortality rate for 20- to 24-year-old Massachusetts adults was used to estimate the rate for 18- to 24-year-old adults.

A year on, bond upgrade underscores success of Elkhart General-Memorial merger

Most recently, Moody�s Investors Service upgraded the rating of bonds issued by EGH, a sign, a hospital official says, of the improved financial strength of the facility brought on by melding with Memorial into a new two-hospital system.
�It�s working, from an overall standpoint,� said Jeff Costello, chief financial officer for EGH and the Beacon Health System, the new parent organization of the Elkhart and South Bend hospitals. The rating improvement shows �that yes, this affiliation is working, the advantages are clearly being achieved.�
Moody�s last month upgraded the A2 rating on $84.5 million in outstanding EGH bonds from �stable� to �positive.� The Moody�s report cited affiliation with Memorial and suggested further �upward pressure� on the rating � continued upgrades � could be in the offing as the process proceeds.
Leaders from the two independent, nonprofit hospitals decided late last year to affiliate under the umbrella of unified parent organization, what�s now called Beacon Health System. They formally began the process of melding into a unified company on Jan. 2.
Some Elkhart civic leaders opposed affiliation, worried that it would lead to transfer of some medical services from EGH to Memorial, which is a larger hospital, to save money. And there have been bumps along the way � EGH implemented job cuts in March and other money-saving changes to counter a financial loss in 2011, upsetting some workers.
As Costello sees it, though, the positives have outweighed any negatives. He cited some of the factors Moody�s looked at in upgrading its rating:
� Buying power: Teaming with Memorial in the purchase of supplies permits the two facilities to negotiate discounts on the larger quantities they jointly buy. That�ll allow around $1 million in savings between both hospitals per year compared to what they previously paid.
� Information technology: Having Memorial as a partner has allowed EGH officials to tap the information technology expertise at the neighboring facility. The result was a shift from outsourcing EGH�s IT services to having them done in house, which ought to save EGH around $1 million per year.
� Physician recruitment: Affiliating improves the ability to recruit physicians, which will pay off over the long haul by enhancing availability of medical services, not reducing them, as some critics had feared. �What it does is provide a growth path for Elkhart General that just didn�t exist in the past,� said Costello.
� Merging debt: By joining into a unified system, EGH�s and Memorial�s debt jointly becomes the responsibility of Beacon. The larger revenue resources of the combined entity adds a measure of financial stability, a plus in the view of Moody�s.
Most immediately, the Moody�s rating upgrade potentially allows EGH to refinance some $84.5 million in outstanding bonds at a lower interest rate, saving the facility money. That was the main reason for requesting a review by Moody�s.
But EGH is planning another $89 million in upgrades going forward, including a $74 million hospital expansion, which was previously pegged at around $70 million in all. Bond financing will be sought on around $65 million of the total and having a better rating, again, should reduce the cost of borrowing.
�We do believe it has been a very successful endeavor, both for Elkhart General and the Memorial health system,� said Costello.

I have great problem with google. Befor Gladys Update three of my sites where at places 1-5 as a results of search for keywords "hotele warszawa", "hotele krakow" and so on.
Now, after Gladys, I can't find it in first 20 pages of search results for these keywords.
But what is funny and strange - when I add to these two words third word - like "hotele warszawa orbis" or any word that is on my site - suddenly I'm in first 3 of search results. It wouldn't be strange if my site was the only which has those third word. No, sites that are on first page of results for "hotele warszawa" has ALSO third keyword ("hotele warszawa orbis") but are much lower than my site for this search. Isn't it wired?
edit : I forgot to say tha those third word can by anything - it can be even "w" (polish "in") or "z" (polish "from").
Of course I'd like to be placed at top 5 for two keyword search, not three. I'd like it to be like it was before Gladys. How to do it?
It looks that my site was banned for few keywords, becasuse for others - results are great! Is it possible?
I don't use any spam methods on my site.
And sorry for my english again.

Hi, I believe that Portland is in dire need of a Trader Joe's. Myself and countless others travel long distances to buy from out of state stores. They would be a great addition to Portland, filling a niche for high quality, reasonable priced and interesting food. Besides, isn't Whole Food's sale to Trader Joe's exactly what the FTC wants to see? Thank you for adding my comments to your consideration of the approval of Trader Joe's at the Whole Food's/former site of Wild Oats. David Marchese

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowServing Long Beach's LGBT community, the Executive Suite mixes up stiff drinks from a full bar as well as a modest offering of brews. Though the interior decor is a little inconsistent: rustic tiki masks and grass lined bar tops meet modern glass tiles and a sleek wood floor— it just adds to this spot's charm. Distractions include a jukebox spinning hip hop and pop as well as two pool tables. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.factorynightclub.com Gay, lesbian and polysexual partiers frequent this modern, space age-looking dance hub during popular promotions such as Friday's Popstarz and Saturday's Hard Candy (which features "amateur strip contests" and drag queens onstage). The spacious dance floors fill up fast during these promotions, though many choose to cruise at one of the numerous bars and semisecluded lounge areas. State-of-the-art lighting, video screens, smoke machines and a potent sound system make this gregarious space one of the hottest (literally) in WeHo, though its main draw is the high-energy crowd itself: young/old, alternative/mainstream queer clubsters dancing as one, and seemingly, always up for a new grind, musical or otherwise. Once a month, the club meshes with adjacent lounge Ultra Suede for a mega dance party. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.thefalcon.us The Falcon is teeny, but when you're looking for a cozy neighborhood spot, that's a good thing. The unimposing entrance on the eponymous Falcon Avenue is just north of Broadway, a hot spot for gay nightlife in Long Beach. Though it's known as a gay bar, the little dive's crowd is far from exclusively LGBT. Absent the usual gay-bar garish decorations, the Falcon favors dim lighting, a pitched wooden roof and slowly twirling ceiling fans, plus a full bar, seven TVs, a jukebox and a dart board. On Saturdays, there's a $1 (yes, that's right: $1) beer bust from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Domestics such as Blue Moon and Pyramid sell for $3.75, and imports are $4.50. Domestic drafts cost $2.50, while imported drafts are $4, as are well drinks. The happy hour stretches from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.thefallslounge.com The Falls Lounge in downtown offers cushy couches and a happiest of hours – with a delightfully later-than-usual happy hour that lasts from 6 p.m. till 9 p.m. As for the crowd, it tends to transition from business-casual to casual-club as early evening turns to night, which means you'll probably fit right in no matter how you're dressed. A jazz jam happens Mondays, with hip-hop on Thursdays. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.farbarla.com This minimalist-styled drinking spot might be hidden down a narrow alleyway between two buildings in Little Tokyo, but it's not a secret for artsy locals nor cocktail fans who frequent the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) up the street. Cute anime-styled hipsters and the culture vulture set alike frequent Far Bar to pontificate post-exhibit or dance off some steam to DJs (often spinning outside in the white Christmas-lit patio) or enjoy the whimsical drink selection. Highlights include: "The Asian Zombie," "the Far Bar Peppertini," the "Oreo Outrage" and the "J-Town Emperor" (Crown Royal, peach Schnapps, pineapple and lime juice). The restaurant next door (same owners) offers a nice selection of sushi rolls and Japanese bar food (tempura, pot stickers) to go with Far's fun concoctions. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.fathersoffice.com The second Father's Office is undeniably pleasant, a gastronomically inclined bar fitted into the eastern flank of the old Helms Bakery building, crowded with people who know the difference between a lager and a double IPA, flat screens discreetly flashing football scores in the corners, and long, lacquered-wood picnic tables stretching into the distance on the heated, vaguely nautical patio outside. You could spend a long Friday afternoon here, snacking on Spanish cheeses, glistening Spanish anchovies cured on the premises and dusted with lemon zest, and cumin-crusted skewers of lamb, which collapse in your mouth like a sigh. Chef-owner Sang Yoon is more or less the Los Angeles equivalent of David Chang, whose Ko in New York City sells out each day's seating in less time than it takes to crack an egg, and Yoon could probably get away with serving his goat-cheese gratinée in telephone booths if he felt like it. As at the Santa Monica original, no reservations are taken, even if you happen to be Barack Obama or Paul Bocuse; no minors are allowed, and when you get to the restaurant, you may well spend the better part of an hour waiting outside on line. Creator of the most-imitated Los Angeles dish since Nancy Silverton reinvented an obscure Piedmontese dessert called panna cotta, Yoon is the baron of the new-style cheeseburger: dry-aged beef cooked exceptionally rare, dressed with onions cooked down to the sweetness of maple syrup, Gruyère and Maytag blue cheeses, smoky bacon, arugula and a tomato compote, all on a French roll. Is it worth the battle for a seat? The more Unibroue you drink, the easier the combat becomes. See full review. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.faultlinebar.com Should you find yourself surrounded by hunky, shirtless gay men in leather pants sipping on pints of Oaked Arrogant Bastard, it's a safe bet you've stumbled into the Faultline Bar. One of the city's most well-heeled LGBT friendly bars outside of Boys Town in West Hollywood, the Faultline is a Silver Lake institution for anyone looking to avoid crowds and maybe do a bit of cruising. Open Wednesday through Sunday with a run of recurring themes, most people crowd to the brick bar under the indelicate neon penis sign on Sunday nights for Beer Bust. Wide-shouldered men share space with Silver Lakers in search of $3 cups of Bud Light, with $2 refills. Or you can sip craft brews from Allagash, Stone, Hangar 24 and Firestone Walker while dancing away your Thursday night in your skivvies. At Faultline Bar, it's just another weeknight. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.thefederalbar.com Housed in a large, two-story brick building that looks like an old bank, the Federal Bar is a major cornerstone of NoHo's cultural revival. The bar and restaurant are spread out among several big, elegantly appointed rooms. The menu features basic fare like burgers and steaks, while the bar boasts more elaborate selections, ranging from rare Belgian, Russian and Czech draft beers to specialty drafts like Fat Tire, Maudite and Delirum Nocturnum. In the upstairs bar, live entertainment includes regular blues, comedy, jazz and rock nights, along with DJs from KCRW. Full bar. Street parking. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
It's easy to find Fiesta Cantina on Santa Monica Boulevard in the heart of West Hollywood thanks to the tiki-hut like awning overlooking the front patio. This bar and restaurant has the feel of a beach-side bar in a Mexican port town. The menu is mostly Mexican, save for some French fries, jalapeño poppers, and Buffalo wings, and includes tacos, burritos and fajitas. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.finnmccoolsirishpub.com As its name implies, Finn McCool's is a cool Irish pub, but it also has a whimsical twist to it. Classic Irish beers and whiskeys abound, but several of the indoor murals depict fantastic creatures alongside the more expected vistas of the old country. The menu specializes in all manner of Irish "fayre," including Ballymaloe beef stew, Irish potato pancakes, corned beef & cabbage, Gaelic steak, boxtys, bangers & mash, and shepherd's pie. Painted a festive blue, the corner bar is located on Main Street in Santa Monica, south of the 10 freeway. Street parking. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.eatatfirefly.com The Firefly is a comfortable restaurant, the kind of neighborhood place you drop into a couple of times a month because you like the idea of cornmeal-fried anchovies in your caesar salad, or of a seasonal paella that tastes more like an uptown version of jambalaya. Asian touches pop up now and again, and a few Mexican things, and quite a few folky flavors from Spain. (The tapas served to coincide with the Thursday-evening farmers market right outside the bistro's doors have become a South Pasadena tradition.) But the specialty here is probably the food of the African-American diaspora, and the best dishes on the menu run toward things like seasonal crawfish jambalaya, and the pecan-crusted catfish fillets stacked up like poker chips. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
http://www.firstandhope.com A restaurant/supper club across the street from Disney Hall in downtown L.A., First & Hope's menu is almost as eclectic as its mixed aesthetics, which channel lounge-y jazz bars and glitzy nightclubs. A Southern-influenced menu of mac 'n' cheese and beer-can chicken also ranges into the gourmet, offering flatiron steak and meatloaf with foie gras. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>

Original Message
This discussion was inspired by Ron Paul's explanation of the Globalist "Conspiracy"
Thread: Ron Paul Blasts the NWO conspiracy! what side are you on?
Oh my god I never thought I'd EVER find ANYONE else in the entire friggin world that
understood that the move for a one world government does not
have sinister intentions behind it from those trying to enact it.
Thank you Ron Paul for pointing out something that to me is fucking common sense. Its an ideological battle, nothing more.
That being said, I still look at this as being like the battle between the Assassin's and Templars in the Assassin's Creed games. One side believing humanity needs to be saved from itself and thus wants a society where free will doesn't exist and another side that believes that free will is necessary for any kind of real growth and future for humanity.
You can see this same theme playing out in other media like Gundam SEED Destiny and Gundam 00, the battle between the Borg and everyone else in Star Trek. Or even the Flood from Halo (and arguably the Forerunners too) and probably innumerable other stories that I can't think of right now. There is much truth in fiction, one of the first spirits I ever talked to has the best quote ever on that in my opinion.
"All stories have lessons for those willing to learn them."
In my opinion even thought the push towards globalism has the promise of stopping conflict and ensuring world peace, it does not unify humanity in any way shape or form. What it really does is standardize it. It weeds out the ideas and portions that are a threat to stability and cultivates one specific mindset only.
The problem is that it ignores the basic fundamental truth about life in that it is always changing. People, regardless of how much you try to condition it out of them, will
have unique viewpoints on everything. Even if the differences are small they are still there.
Because of this the NWO ideal for unity will always break down and become mere standardization. It also devolves into a totalitarian dictatorship as the controllers must always be vigilant in stamping out anything that threatens stability. You cannot stop questions about policies from existing a long as there are things about it to question. You can however stop the people themselves from bringing those questions to light by killing them or otherwise removing them from the population. Like quarantining a virus to keep it from spreading.
At the end of the day what other choice would the regime have? If it cannot logically justify its rule and its laws to the people it can only remove those smart enough to recognize this.
Its because of that inevitability that Globalism becomes evil. Change, the basis of life, must be forced to become static, the basis of death. The world as a result becomes living death and mere existence and nothing more.
I on the other hand believe that you can still have world peace
free will at the same time. All you need to do is understand other people and where they're coming from. Almost no one on this site ever seems to define terms they are using, they just seem to expect that others think like they do. Nor do they tend to explain why they feel a certain way about such-and-such topic, just barrel on stating that they are right without ever giving a reason for it.
And then when disputes break out the life experience ard is often played. "Oh you'd see things my way if you'd experienced what I have in my life!" Well guess what people, they
live your life and have your experiences. That is a fact, even if someone was to be shown your entire life, feelings, emotions and all, after the fact they would still be interpreting it from their own non-you vantage point. Although it would probably give them a much better idea of your feelings on a subject.
So instead of just acting like you're right and everyone else is wrong because you're experienced something they haven't why don't you explain how it is that you came to the conclusions you've come to. And also, recognize that the peson arguing against you has their own reasons for feeling the way they do, just the same as you do.
As long as people are willing to understand each other the system works. Doesn't mean they need to like what the other person says, just that they get where they're coming from and aren't going to try killing each other over differences of opinion. If someone does not want to understand you and still only wishes to force their will on you believing it is right regardless of what you say, that is when violence becomes necessary as words will not work on people like that.
Wow I sound just like a preacher with all of this don't I? Oh well, its my opinion, take it or leave it.

He therefore co-founded PlayAble. "When people tell you that the activities you started brought meaning in their life, you know there is nothing more that can prove you that what PlayAble does is right."
Pierre loves having fun with his friends, cracking some funny jokes (at least he is trying…) and playing sports such as squash, basketball and mountain bike.

Whisky Charlie Foxtrot Reading
Annabel Smith's Whisky Charlie Foxtrot was shortlisted for the 2013 Most Underrated Book Award (MUBA). The winner, Fish-Hair Woman was announced on Friday night. Here's a reading Annabel prepared for her presentation at the Wheeler Centre award ceremony.
