Strange how Obie isn´t getting much blowback from middle class taxpayers on the whole deal regardless how it plays out. Could be because most are on holiday right now. Or there is blowback, but the msm is hiding it.I really don´t think the pubs are feeling any pressure. Sadly, none of the proposals currently on the table include any SIGNIFICANT spending cuts.

My uneducated guess is that the Republicans will cave and agree to higher rates on the "rich" and spending cuts 10 years down the road that will never happen. IMHO we have already gone off the cliff and real question is how hard will the landing be? Looks to be a very hard landing, spending a trillion dollars a year we don´t have on programs and departments we don´t need. Congress can´t stop the spending.

Whatever gets to the House, Boehner should not put it to a vote unless a majority of Repubs will vote for it. There´s talk that he will let Dems pass a bad bill with minority Repub support.I´m tired of hearing Republicans say that they control only 1/3 of the legislative process, so they´ll have to roll over.

If Democrats were serious about only taxing "the wealthy," and if Republicans were serious about NOT taxing small businesses that get lumped in with those mean capitalist coupon clippers the Democrats want to burn at the stake, then they would both have proposed the obvious solution long ago.If they were honest, they would have agreed to impose the tax increases only on income over $250K reportable on 1040 lines 7, 8, 9, and 13. That would exclude ALL small business income reportable on schedule C and line 12, subchapter S earnings reportable on line 17, and all farm income reportable on line 18. The tax increase would ONLY apply to income over $250K derived from wages, interest, dividends, and capital gains. In other words, RICH people. And I´m sorry, but if your salary is over $250,000 a year, or you collect more than that in interest and dividends, most Americans would consider you pretty rich. This really is not that hard.

There is one thing that I have witnessed over a long period of time. And that is, when Senators and Representatives are elected for the first time. they go all out to do just what they promised to their constituents they would do. However, as time passes and they keep getting re-elected, they seem to be more interested in "getting a deal" made, regardless of the circumstances. And the old, worn out excuse is "I did the best I could given the opposition". That´s what you´re going to see and hear this time too. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Let's stipulate two things: 1. we're over the cliff. 2. Republicans will get the blame.So, what to do? Answer: make the Dems and Obama, the biggest spender in the history of man, own it.Vote present, let Obama and Reid have their taxes and expenditures. Vote present, and let the consequences crash down upon the Democrats heads.From the wreckage of the economy and a discredited Democratic (Socialist) Party of 2013, we might be able to put together a fiscally sane government.

Pubs are going to be blamed regardless. Time to do the right thing and just say "No!". Let the 47% (whose numbers will be drastically reduced once we´re over the cliff) feel the consequences of their vote. Yes, the rest of us will be squeezed, too, but life isn´t fair. At least many of those insulated from income tax consequences will face them again and be forced to think a bit more responsibly.Strategically, this would send a shot across the bow as we approach the debt ceiling. Then it will be time to really get tough. The best way to stop the spending is to cut up the credit card and force NerØbama to live within his revenues. Yes, he will concentrate funds on blue states and his liberal friends, but where will that leave the swing voters who sat out this election? They will be enraged, and that rage will ultimately play out in 2014. It´s all about 2014 at this point, and the Dems shouldn´t feel so confident as to the outcome.We´re in a war for the future of the country. It´s time to fight it. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Can anyone imagine how horrendous it must be to try and negotiate with Obama and Reid ?Does anyone think they care what Republicans want ?Or what´s best for all Americans ?The Republicans and 16 Democrats , passed a clean bill extending the Bush tax cuts for all Americans last summer.Boehner sent the bill to the Senate and Reid threw it in the garbage.Yelling and screaming , like many posters and talk radio armchair Congressmen advocate ,will accomplish what , exactly ?The majority of Americans elected Obama-twice.The Democrats and liberals control the media .Democrats control the Senate.Within a few years, they will control the USSC .Reid is trying to do away with the filibuster , so the 53 Democrats and 2 Indyscan streamline Obama´s lifetime federal judicial appointees without the 45 Republicanshaving any say.The Republican majority in the House will shrink by 8 seats come January.Boehner has little leverage except for the Coulter option.

Auditors say the city saw a decrease in revenue and increase in expenses in fiscal year 2011, so the mayor says cuts are coming for the next budget
ALBANY, GA -- As budget season begins, the Albany city commission went through its audit for the last fiscal year at their evening meeting on Tuesday.
In fiscal year 2011, the city had $56 million in revenue: A $600,000 decrease from fiscal year 2010. The city had $57.3 million in expenses during fiscal year 2011, which a four percent increase from fiscal year 2010 according to the auditor.
Mayor Dorothy Hubbard says as they continue planning their fiscal year 2012 budget, there will have to be cuts.
"We had to go into the general fund to use those extra monies, so we're going to have to be looking at how we can cut and how we can cut back in order not to have to continue to do that," says Hubbard.
The auditor says the city had to take out notes several years ago and that the city improved by not having to this year.
The city commission also voted 6 to 1 to table a contract connected to the $10 million multimodal transportation center. Because of Indian artifacts on the planned site, a $500,000 archeological contract bid was proposed. Commissioner Roger Marietta says he has concerns about only one bidder involved with the contract, and Commissioner Tommie Postell then motioned to table the issue for a month.

Kevinators 81 Mitsubishi Lancer EX
Posted 18 August 2008 - 08:07 AM
Just joined this site, and i am loving all the projects that are posted up on here. All the time and effort that you guys pour into your projects, gives me ALOT of motavation for my own. So, what better way to repay you guys, is to post up my project, and hopefully i do the same to another new member
Saw this car on Trademe and couldnt resist, so i brought it because I had the perfect donor car. It was a factory GSR EX Lancer, so it had the disc rear diff, Starion struts, turbo instrument cluster, blah blah blah. I thought that this would be a simple swap, but boy was i wrong.
Found a couple of pics of my lancer before i hacked into it. Not the best pics, but pics none the less
Basicly, it was a 1200 BIG BLOCK, 4 on the floor, you know, all the good stuff. But parted ways with the goodies, to make way for the Evo 2 4G63T.
I raped the orange EX for everything it had and sold it on to a guy who has the MEANEST looking EX ive ever seen!
So this is where i was up to a couple of months ago
Posted 18 August 2008 - 07:57 PM
Heres a pic of the dead turbo
Had awesome help from my dad to separate the GSR wiring loom from the Microtech loom and central locking and alarm. The battery is now positioned in the boot but still need to buy a battery box. Im glad someone knows what theyre doin coz i dont!
Also got new radiator because the old one took a hiding. Also the old one had a stupid pipe running along the top because the top inlet was on the wrong side. The new radiator is suited for this application better.
Took some pics with the radiator
Posted 18 August 2008 - 08:06 PM
The weekend just gone, I decided to open up the front of the radiator area just to give it more air flow. Also hacked off little bits the got in the way of the radiator
Also finished off the intercooler piping, ready for me dad to mount the new turbo and make suit the RWD top mount config
Posted 24 August 2008 - 07:55 PM
Top one is Sigma modified to suit hydraulic, bottom one 1600 lancer
So had to buy spare Sigma box, just for the arm. Notice the different lever positions
Sticking with the buying bug, i brought an engine lifter, and a malpassi RRFPR
I finally got stuck in to the car and mounted the oil cooler. I was going to mount it just behind the bumper, but decided it was to tricky. Had a mate come over and gave me a perfect place to put it.
Because its running an Evo 2 engine, it has a 7 bolt flywheel. So i cant run a RWD flywheel. The bellhousing has been chopped up to suit this
My dad came round to fit the turbo. He had to turn the exhaust housing and front to suit the top mount config. Took a lil bit but he got there.
Here it is all made up sitting on the bench. Ready to bolt up, but i have to get the internal wastegate welded shut because of the Tial 38mm External Wastegate
Now here are some pics of the engine bay with turbo setup. Almost there, i can taste it. But still ALOT of work to be done. Need to find someone with a welder, and who can weld aswell!
Posted 31 August 2008 - 08:11 PM
Went to pick a part for a sroll and check out what goodies are there. If there was anything worth something, i wouldve brought it, and sold it on trademe. As i ventured to the Mitsi section, There it layed, a RWD Sigma wagon. So I raced back home to grab some tools, went back to pick a part to rip out the diff.
Heres a pic of the Sigma wagon 10 bolt diff
I heard a rumour that the Sigma wagons came out 10 bolt compared to the sedans (Sigma & Lancer) which came out 8 bolt. If this 10 bolt diff is the same as the GSR Disc 10 bolt, then ill have spare axles and diff head. I layed the diffs side by side to check if the lengths are the same
And they were (Good start!)
Ripped out the axles and diff head, ready to chuck the Sigma wagon diff housing away. Anyone want a Diff Housing? FREE!!!
If this diff fits perfect inside the GSR Disc housing, im going to lock it. An LSD would be good, but im not forking out $1000+ for one. A lock diff would probably suit me better to what I want to do. Although, I heard that L200's came out with 10 bolt LSD? Is this true?
Heres a pic of 10 bolt Sigma (Left) compared to 8 bolt Lancer. Hard to see the difference but the 10 bolt is much larger then the 8 bolt (As you would expect)
I also tried to dummy up the muffler. What you guys think?
Posted 07 September 2008 - 08:07 PM
Decided to pull the engine out to attend to the welding duties. There are quite a lot of welding to be done in the engine bay. eg coil brackets, fuel filter mount, oil cooler mount, heater hose hole (Block it off), intercooler mount. And while the engines out, i can tidy up the imperfections.
Finally got to use my new engine lifter. Worked a charm!!!
With the engine out, i decided to take a few pics of it an display it on here so maybe others doing or deciding to do this conversion, can gets some ideas or tips.
This picture is showing how the rear water inlet/outlet pipe comes around to the front
Left side of engine (Intake side)
Right side of engine (Exhaust side)
Snapped a couple of pics of the car with the engine out. Gotta love the ride height in the rear. Looks lower in real life
Got plastic ties holding the gearbox up. My cousin Antz would be so proud!!!
Posted 13 September 2008 - 06:03 PM
Ever since ive owned the lancer, there has been an uglu rust repair in the engine bay, along the chassis rail (Common). Decided to see how bad the rust was under the repair, so got out my friend, Mr Angle Grinder, and made mince meat out of it
Who ever made the repair, didnt do a good job. They just basicly covered it instead of fixing it. Amateurs!
Finally tried to finish the wiring for the central locking. BUT........only did 1 door. I got lazy. Ill finish the others later.
Posted 05 October 2008 - 03:25 PM
Not alot has been going down at the moment. A combination of depression and no money mixed with a lil lack of tools, has lead the EX Lancer to a stand still. Anyone wanna donate there welding skills and welder to this pile? Man, i need to win that powerball!!!
Anyhow thought id show ya the lil i have done. I brought a battery box for the boot. THATS IT!
I dont even have a battery! Geez
Posted 19 October 2008 - 07:31 PM
Yet again, not much of an update, but a lil bit of progress has happened. This Sunday produced awesome weather. So, taking full advantage of it, I decided to bring the Lancer out of the dark dingy garage, and into the sunlight.
Thought my best plan of attack was to get everything ready for welding. So, I went a little crazy with the angle grinder, cutting unwanted mounts, and exposing bare metal for the welds. God bless the Sanding discs for angle grinders. They are the SHIZZ!!!
Axed out the battery mount. FINALLY!
Cut a mount for the other side of the oilcooler
Got rid of some unwanted tags that hold the wiper wires. Ive re-routed these.
I cut up a bit of panel steel to block off the heater hose hole. Im still gonna run a heater, but im moving where the hoses go thru. Just to clear the CAS abit better.
Forgot to bring home the cordless drill from work, so i couldnt drill holes for the driveshaft hoop and oilcooler mount. Should be done during the week. Gaining a lil bit of momentum which is what i needed. Decided that im gonna hire a mig welder over the labour weekend and get some sparks going. Im so desperate to here this thing run!!!
Didnt win $30million either
Posted 20 October 2008 - 07:02 PM
Got home from work today, sun still beaming, so i did some work on the Lancer.
My main target was the driveshaft hoop. Since i brought the drill home, I made 2 holes through the floor for the hoop to bolt through. Didnt work out as I hoped, but good enuff
Hopefully Mr Cert Man will be happy with that!
Mucked around tidying up the wiring in the engine bay. Also, finally finished running the wires through the rear doors for the central locking.
Cant wait for this weekend. Im gonna hire a welder, and get busy with it. If I get all my welding done, which is.....
- Driveshaft hoop bolts
- Fuel pump mount
- Oilcooler mount
- Fuel filter mount
- Intercooler mounts
- Heater blocked
- Coil mount
Then I can start piecing the car back together. Hopefully get it running, take for a hoon, THEN, pull it all apart again for panel & paint!!! Then Cert, Wof, Reg, CRUISE!
Good Times!

Awesome weather + No cash = Stay at home and work around the house
Got bored with the house work and pulled the beast out of the dungeon. Still waiting for the right welder to pop up, so theres not much i can do. Decided to swap the drum diff, for the disc diff. Been holding off doing this. Dont know why tho
Ive bolted up one of my Recaro Fishnet buckets just for laughs, but I wont be using them. I like the factory seats too much.
Put diffs near each other to have a look at the difference. Cant tell by the pic, but the 10 bolt diff is HUGE compared to the lil 8 bolt
So, still needing my welding done to progress. Cant wait to buy a welder. Purchased a little 40lt air compressor to do little tasks aswell. Hopefully, my next post will be the money maker post!!!!
Watch this space!
NOTE - I still have the crashed EX Lancer if anyone needs any parts
Posted 06 February 2009 - 04:30 PM
Been a while since I updated this thing. Done quite a bit of work on it over the weeks.
Got the disc rear diff in and decided to see if the Sigma wagon axles fit in the GSR Diff.................PERFECT MATCH!
Was a bitch to get the axle out!
Brought myself a Chrismas prezzy. Autometer Pro-Comp gauges!!!
I dont plan on using the Fuel pressure gauge, so its up for sale. The boost gauge had leaked the fluid that was inside, so i drained the Fuel gauge, and poured it in the boost gauge.
Heres where I plan on mounting the gauges
Got out the ol die grinder and started hacking at the dash. Was hesitant in doin it, but theres no turning back now!
Here it is in place
Took a coupla pics with no springs in the back. Dont know why
Tried to swap a 200kph speedo out of a 1600 lancer into my 1200 das cluster. But didnt work
Fitted the GSR steering box and didnt look right. Put side by side against the 1200 box and noticed the arm of the GSR is bent bad. Will have to swap this over
Brought myself yet another present!!! Best present ever!!!
Brought it with gasless wire in it. Couldnt get the hang of it. Then got a bottle from boc and some solid wire, and HOLY SHITBALLS its the SHIT!!! Fully recommend Gas. Throw the gasless shit AWAY!
So, with the new toy, ive done my welding in the engine bay.
Blocked of heater hole
Oil cooler mount
Intercooler mounts
Coil mount, fuel filter mount and new heater hole made
Spent today bolting the turbo on, inlet manifold and engine plugs in. Anything i could bolt up, i did. This is how its looking like now
Still a bit of work to do but its getting close to skid day!!!
Posted 14 February 2009 - 11:23 AM
Just had a heart stopping experience. What a giant penis!!!!
Was welding under the boot for the fuel pump, finished welding and noticed a cracking sound and lotsa smoke. huh, whats that? The boot had caught fire!
Amp looks toasted. My JBL components are throw aways, carpet burnt to a crisp and the plastic trim melted. I feel like the worlds biggest idiot!
So im now after boot carpet and trim if anyone can help.

Plugged up the wiring, and tested the electrics. Nothings goin right. Central locking isn't playing the game, computer turns on while the motor is cranking, and doesnt stay on when key is in the "ON" position. Put some oil in the bastard and tried to get some oil pressure. I cant get any oil pressure! Im over it!!!
For sale maybe???
Posted 21 March 2009 - 06:47 PM
Had a few tips and tricks to try to get some god damn oil pressure. I pumped oil back thru the oil feed for the turbo. Turned the motor backwards. NOTHING!
So, thought id pull the motor out and have a look under the sump.
Got it sitting on the engine stand
As soon as i took the sump off, i saw silicon build up all on the pick up. Probably not the main cause of the lack off pressure, but mite have contributed to it.
The pick up mite have been squashed up against the sump so i tapped the bottom out a bit
Decided to do a few tests
Took the pick up off and put some oil down. Turned the motor over by hand to see if the oil gets sucked up, and it did - Good start!
Pulled out the pressure relief valve to see if its not stuck open. Was working perfectly - Good
Kept turning the engine over whilst pumping oil in the pump to see if oil pumped thru to the relief valve. It was squirting oil out the fitting for the pressure gauge! - EVEN BETTER NEWS!
So the pump works. May have been deprived of oil coz of the gunk and squishing of the pick up. Before i put the engine back in the car, im gonna fill up the pick up, and pack it full of grease.
In other news, I locked my spare diff! Wont put it in till its running, for obvious reasons
To Lowlancers Disgust, I mounted my rear muffler. I dont think it looks that bad
Shes comming together. Just gotta sort out the electrical bugs, hope ive fixed the oil problem, then its BIG BURNOUT TIME!!!
Posted 24 May 2009 - 07:12 PM
Haven't been able to do much on the car lately, due to either stink weather or busy schedule.
Managed to attack it today. Pulled it out of the dungeon for the first time in ages
Looked rather sad
We quickly checked the state of the main and big end bearings before putting the engine back together. They weren't in the best shape, but will do in the meantime. Mite have to rebuilt my spare VR4 block. Put the engine back together and slapped it back in the car. Spent most of the day pluging and connecting all sorts.
I like it when its all back together
Brought me one of those OTT monster tacho's. Had a warning light laying around, so put that on as well.
Not too sure where to mount it. Here looks like the only place
Still need to sort out the electrical bugs. Hopefully next weekend, it mite fire up!!! Not sure if it gets oil psi.
Need some better rims!
Till next time...............................
Posted 07 June 2009 - 04:45 PM
The ol man worked his magic on the ignition switch. I almost had to do what Ke36 had to do, and wire up a starter button, but the ignition works, finally. The computer turns on, while cranking, but had no spark. We traced the problem back to an earth not connected. Once that was put on, all I had to do was fill it up with gbox oil, and see if she runs.
Today, I topped up the gbox oil, put some water in the radiator, plugged up the computer, rough wired the tacho in, plumbed up the gauges, chucked some fuel in it, tightened up the silicon joiners in the hopes that it might make some kind of starting noise.
Ready to try and start
And well...........Actions speak louder than words!
Posted 16 December 2009 - 07:53 PM
Been a LONG time since i felt like touching this car. Still dont really.
Have been hounded to get this thing on the road, so hopefully over the little holiday I have thru christmas ill "TRY" to get into it.
Managed to take it for a hoon down the road a while back.
Since that video it kinda sat in my garage.
Today I finally pulled out the engine and gearbox to start the long, hard job of............Panel & Paint!
So hopefully you'll get more updates during the silly season. If I can be arsed!
Posted 08 January 2010 - 01:39 PM
So i kinda got a goal of getting this thing up north by New Years. So ive got a bit of motivation.
Spent a wee while stripping the engine bay out so i can make it look pretty. Getting rid of wires that arnet used, and re routing wires to hide them a bit more. Over the next coupla weeks ill be filling in holes and dimples to make it look all smooth.
Decided to mount the washer bottle in the boot to get it out of the engine bay. My factory EX bottle had been smashed so I went n brought 1 from Pick a part along with some extra hose.
Made a crappy mount
And this is it all welded in place. No boot fires!
Not much to do now really. Just gotta save to fund for wheels, paint, cert. Cant wait!

The Bozeman Hawks used a goal line stand and two fourth quarter touchdowns to erase a 13 point deficit and defeat Helena High School, 24-23. Helena had the ball first and goal at the three yard line, but Bozeman's defense held them out on four plays. Then Junior quarterback, Will Weyer hit Will Dissly on fourth and goal for one touchdown and Hunter Gappmayer on fourth and nine for the game winner.
Bozeman will now play Glacier, the team that stopped their winning streak and broke Will Wyeyer's collarbone earlier in the season.

ery good buyPros: Easily set up and hidden. We live in a depression and have a metal roof. previously had possibly 1 bar and had to go outside to make calls and had to maintain landline. now 4 to 5 bars inside and no land line ,so product has paid for itself already. Cons: Locating and attaching antenna was only difficulity to get best reception. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good product but get the kit with directional antenna!Pros: * Does what it says it will do - amplifies your available outside signal and sends the boosted signal to your inside antenna(s). Cons: * - GET THE DIRECTIONAL / YAGI ANTENNA KIT! The kit I ordered has an omni-directional external antenna which works but you cannot aim it toward the nearest cell tower. The omni antenna is ok if you have a good signal outside but if you're in a marginal area you'll spend all day on a ladder looking for a 'good signal'. (If you've been going outside to answer calls, you'll likely have a general idea where this spot is but may not be able to mount an antenna there.) Other Thoughts: * Call Wilson's tech line for correct lightning arrestor part # & adapters you need. You'll also need some ground wire to tie into ground - get the tech's recommendation. 6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome productPros: Ease of installation, plenty of cable and connector parts included, multiple mounting options, straight forward configuration Cons: none Other Thoughts: Installed this in my basement of a 2 story brick home to increase cell coverage. I've never been able to get any signal there, and now I've got full 4G bars on AT&T. Very impressive, and maybe took me an hour to hook everything up. 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Wilson cellular amplifierPros: Easy to install, took about 2 hours. Went from no signal-1 bar inside house, to having 4 bars in all rooms in house. Cons: none 4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Current club: Chelsea 'JT' is a 6'1" Barking-born central defender and captain of Chelsea. He joined the Blues' youth system at 14 and made his senior debut as a late substitute in a League Cup tie against Aston Villa in October 1998 when he was 17. He had a loan spell at Nottingham Forest and nearly signed for Huddersfield Town before deciding to try and make the grade with Chelsea's first team. He was an established member from the 2000-01 season, making 23 starts, and captained the Blues for the first time in a Premier League fixture against Charlton Athletic in December 2001. He has become a Chelsea legend, winning three Premier League titles, four FA Cups and two League Cups. They were also a spot-kick away from lifting the Champions League trophy in 2008.
John was capped nine times for the Under-21s and won his first full cap as a substitute for Gareth Southgate in a friendly against Serbia & Montenegro at Leicester on 3 June 2003. He scored his first England goal in a Hungary friendly ten days after becoming the father of twins. He was in the All-star Squad for the 2006 World Cup and both Steve McClaren and Fabio Capello subsequently made him their England skipper. He reached his half-century of caps against Slovakia at Wembley in March 2009.

Flying Free!
28 March 2008
With the breeding season now over our two Scarlet Macaws, Rio and Maya, have shown some interest in their nesting log, but unfortunately this year breeding success was not to be. So while they are not interested in courting one another we thought we would give them something else to do with their time.
As some of you may be aware Rio and Maya were once part of our free flight bird show, but with their paternal instincts taking hold we decided to take them out and give them a shot of breeding. So they have been given the opportunity to fly free once again and possibly re-enter the show at some point in the future. As it has been some time since they have flown outdoors we had to re-fit them with new tail mounts in order for us to place a telemetry (tracking device) on their tails. As the old tail mount will be moulted out when the bird loses that particular tail feather. Once that was done they were set to go for a fly outside.
To re-introduce them to free flying, we have started them off on flights to select trees along our shuttle track below the rainforest aviary. This provides enrichment for them as they like to chew on parts of the trees like flowers and seed pods as well as forms part of their initial free flight training plan and allows them to build up the necessary stamina to fly in the Crocoseum. As they were both quite experienced with outdoor free flight already it has made our job much easier as all the hard work of training had already been previously done. To do this with a bird that is not properly trained could have dire consequences so is definitely not recommended.
Unlike all of the other show birds Rio and Maya have not been placed on any real training plan, so if they choose to fly along the shuttle track to some gum trees then that is entirely up to them. We will keep working with them in this way until such time as they are then moved into the Crocoseum to start on a routine to join some of our other free flight Macaws such as Peppe and Queto.

Comments On Dec 11, 2013:After wearing out a pair of SG10's I thought I would try the Tech 10's and am very disappointed with the quality of the buckles. The top buckle is very difficult to latch and has come unlatched several times during riding. While I like the inner booty overall I am not very happy with the boot.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Nov 09, 2013:Very protective boot and comfy. The soles tend to hold up well and Alpinestars does a good job of rebuilding them for a reasonable price. But having to rebuild them so often is the downside. Buckles tend to come undone while riding and break around forty hours of use. The booties seem to where out once a year also. If they could get the buckles right I would rate them higher.

Comments On Nov 08, 2013:Now that I've upgraded to the tech 10's , I can't believe I waited so long. As stated OMG what a boot!

Comments On Oct 14, 2013:Great boots!!! Great price!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 10, 2013:This is my second pair of tech-10's. I have had this boot since it first came out which is around 8 or 9 years. I have raced, practiced, and trail rode in these boots and love everything about them. I have had them re-souled about 4 or 5 times. When the souls get chewed up simply mail them off to alpinestars in California and they fix them up good as new for a very fair price. These boots provide more protection, comfort, and flexibility than most boots. They feel very comfortable and don't need any break-in time. The price is not cheap but it is allot cheaper than a doctors bill.

Comments On Aug 27, 2013:I'm NOT to impressed.... I wear a size 9, and these boots were too big on my feet. So i tried a size 8 and it was too small..!! ???? Either way, the boots feel too long in the front & back. Simple put, there's just TOO MUCH boot here!! Bulky & dense!(and the inner booties suck!) I'd go with some thing else.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 23, 2013:This is my second pair of Tech 10's. The first pair lasted me almost 5 years of riding year round approx 50 days/year. Winter time, these get soaked which is hard on the leather and boots in general. I sent the original pair back to Alpinestars to replace the soles after about 3 years and if I sent them back again, they would still be good to go for another few years. Treat the leather every year with some good waterproof wax or something similar and it will help to keep the water out but also last longer.

Comments On Jun 05, 2013:I own a white pair of these good boots does the job alot of people own these boots so they are popular, and they are a good price range
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Mar 03, 2013:I purchased this boot and they were extremely tight in the sides of the boots and I have a thin foot. They caused a severe pressure point of pain in my left boot by my inner ankle. When the boot is bent forward the wide buckles hit each other and bind. I have raced for 10 years and I am very dissatisfied with this boot after ordering. I wll be sending them back.

Comments On Feb 15, 2013:I have always loved the Tech 8s till I got the Tech 10s. The 10s have really no break in time like the 8s did but they have a very good feel on the break and shifter. Very comfy boots. They held up longer than the 8s did and took some very serious hits. Like racing desert + high speed (5th gear) + big rock hits foot peg = boot hits the back of your helmet types of impacts and go home with only some bruised toes. Yes very good protection and the last pair lasted 5 years now. I will stay with Alpinestars brand for my big feet (13) always. The only down side with the Tech 10s is the price but then how much is your feet worth.

"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
Rap and Hip-Hop Pioneer and Legend Heavy D, born Dwight Arrington Myers, died today at just 44 years old. Sources close to the Hip-Hop Legend say that he had just come home from shopping when he began to have difficulty breathing after heading up a flight of stairs. He was found by Adam Mills, a Designer who was in the building, when Heavy told him "I can't breathe".
a 911 call was placed from his building this morning, and died shortly after being transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Some medical personnel at Cedars have been overheard saying that Heavy died of an apparent Heart Attack.
And with a Legend like Heavy, it's only fitting that he leaves with a Legendary outro. Heavy D took to his twitter yesterday, to pay his last respect to Smokin Joe Frazier, calling him "one of the best heavyweight champs that ever lived" just after retweeting Shaquille O'Neal who was doing the same.
And his final words to the world…
"Be Inspired"
Thank you Heav for all the years you blessed Hip-Hop and our World with Your Larger Than Life Presence
And May The Soul Of Heavy D Be Blessed Eternally As He Ascends Into The Heavens

Well, a ton, dear Source reader. Too much to capably sum up in one blog post. It's also way too early to give too much away. But, we can showcase some of the lovely artwork gracing the covers of the Bat-titles hitting in February, featuring the talents of Frank Quitely, Dustin Nguyen, Phil Noto and many more. So, take another bite of your lunch and look 'em over.
As some of you know, artist Michael Turner died from complications of cancer last summer. He left a lasting legacy with not only the Maid of Steel, but comics in general. We thought it would be a great honor to spotlight his career and this milestone issue, SUPERGIRL #50 by having a cover from the artist that helped usher the modern version of Supergirl into the DCU.
You've seen the cover to OUTSIDERS #27, but what else does artist Philip Tan have in store for the team with writer Dan DiDio? Well, we don't know all the answers, but we have some, courtesy of this week's DC NATION column, which you can find in every DCU comic this week.
Writer James Robinson and artist Mark Bagley are in the early stages of their run on JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, but they've been anything but quiet. As you saw in their first issue, some heroes have already fallen. And #39 brings the League into BLACKEST NIGHT. But what happens after? Well, that'd be telling.
February's still a ways away, dear readers, but we figured it'd be a good time to give you an inside look at the covers of some of the JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA family of titles hitting that month -- and there's a ton of hitting happening in these pages. Check out the covers for the February issues of MAGOG, POWER GIRL, JSA ALL STARS and the JSA ANNUAL below.
There isn't much I can say about this cover -- aside from the fact that Batman and Batwoman are both on it -- but who needs my commentary when you have art this lovely by Mr. J.H. Williams? Nobody, I say.
Next to the job interview, the next most-stressful thing when it comes to work is your first day. Am I right? Well, imagine if your gig didn't involve sitting at a desk, but jumping around on the rooftops of Gotham's seedier neighborhoods? Welcome to Stephanie Brown's new role as Batgirl. And, as she'll soon learn, it takes a lot more to wear the mantle of the Bat than she originally thought.
Interesting fact about Lt. Joe Higgins, a.k.a. the Shield: he does not consider himself a hero, let alone a super one. For Lt. Higgins, the experimental warsuit he wears saved his life and enables him to continue doing his duty. It's his honor to serve his country and uphold its ideals, and even if the style of his uniform has changed, his commitment to it has never wavered.

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
March 25, 2011 Numbers On Ice Vancouver's Model for Success
by Tom Awad
For the first time in franchise history, the Canucks are sitting on top of the National Hockey League. They are prohibitive favorites to win their first Presidents' Trophy as regular-season champions and will enter the playoffs as one of the favorites in a crowded Western Conference field. They are first in the NHL in goal differential, first in goals for and third in goals against.
Vancouver has won its division and finished with 100-plus points in four of its past five seasons, but it seems to have taken it to the next level this year. What's been the secret ingredient?
The main factors in the Canucks' success have been using players in the roles they're best suited for, smart hole-plugging and wise management of the salary cap. Let's start with the role issue.
Their deep group of forwards is where the Canucks most obviously excel. Vancoucer has the league's reigning MVP, Henrik Sedin, but it's arguable if he's even the real No. 1 center on the team; the go-to guy on the Canucks roster is Ryan Kesler. The league's top centers -- players like Sidney Crosby, Jonathan Toews, Pavel Datsyuk, Anze Kopitar and Steven Stamkos -- are expected to play at both ends of the ice, face the opposition's top line, win faceoffs and key the team's offense. With the exception of driving the offense, these are all roles that are filled more effectively by Kesler than Sedin. Kesler has even averaged more ice time than Henrik. While Daniel Sedin is likely to garner more Hart Trophy votes because of his point totals, the real engine of Vancouver's team is an American.
On many teams, the best players are expected to do every job, but the Canucks have such a wealth of talent at forward, especially at the center position, that they can have specialized lines. The Sedin-Sedin-Alex Burrows line is used in a purely offensive role, with a zone start ratio of 70 percent, which means that this trio takes 70 percent of all non-neutral zone draws in their offensive end. Meanwhile, the line of Manny Malhotra, Raffi Torres and Jannik Hansen does the defensive work. Malhotra, in particular, has a zone start ratio of 24 percent, meaning he starts three times as often in his own end as in the opponents'. This has pushed Kesler and the Sedins up the depth chart, allowing them to make better use of their offensive talents. No other team uses players in such extreme offensive and defensive roles as Vancouver does:
Most faceoffs for top 10 NHL teams
The above chart shows for each of the top 10 teams in the NHL, the player who has been on the ice for most excess offensive zone faceoffs or defensive ones. The Y axis shows how many more offensive (positive values) or defensive faceoffs (negative values) players have been on the ice for relative to their team average. Only Dave Bolland comes close to Malhotra as a purely defensive center, and his presence liberates the Chicago Blackhawks' offensive talents, especially Patrick Kane and Patrick Sharp, the same way Malhotra and Kesler do for the Sedins. This is why Malhotra's injury is a bigger blow to the Canucks than it appears: While he doesn't put up many points, his great defensive play frees up other players to score.
Vancouver has built a quality blue line, with no Norris Trophy candidates but a huge amount of depth. The Canucks have five "top four" defensemen: Alexander Edler, Christian Ehrhoff, Sami Salo, Dan Hamhuis and Kevin Bieksa, plus Keith Ballard, who was a top-four defenseman with Florida. This has made them injury-resistant, as Salo has missed most of the season, Hamhuis has missed time, Bieksa is currently out with a broken foot and Edler is recovering from back surgery. Finally, in Roberto Luongo, the Canucks have one of the few consistently elite goaltenders in the NHL. In the five years since Luongo's arrival in Vancouver, the Canucks have won four division titles (including this season's) and averaged 23 fewer goals against than the league average.
One of the reasons for this success is that many of Vancouver's top players are signed for below market value. Kesler and the Sedins are world-class players, yet none cracks the top 30 in NHL cap hits. Burrows and Mason Raymond, at $2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, are incredible bargains given their ice time, roles and results. This intelligent management of the salary cap has allowed the Canucks to take advantage of opportunities when they have arisen. Ehrhoff was stolen from San Jose prior to the 2009-10 season in what was effectively a salary dump after the Sharks acquired Dany Heatley (he leads the Canucks in total ice time this season), Malhotra and Torres have been inspired free-agent signings and Hamhuis was signed for a reasonable price in the summer because of his desire to return to his native British Columbia. This has allowed the Canucks to overspend somewhat on their defensemen, which has served them well through their current rash of injuries.
The Vancouver model should be used as an example for coaches and GMs throughout the league. The main lessons are: draft and develop homegrown talent, only pay top-line prices for top-line talent, use players in the roles they are best suited for and maintain cap flexibility as long as you can. Whether this model will translate to a Stanley Cup is the lesson yet to be learned.

Tom, I love the graph showing zone start disparities. I've been watching the Malhotra-Sedin ZS gap all year and marvelling at it's effectiveness and simplicity. Seeing the comparison to other clubs just makes it all the more apparent.
Not only does that graph show the disparity, it also creates an optical illusion. The x-axis looks like it angles downward from left to right. I've been really interested in non-conventional forward line usage for a while, so Vancouver's model certainly intrigues me. I'm also a bit intrigued by Philadelphia's forwards, where they essentially have three scoring lines, at the top of which sits their Ryan Kesler, Mike Richards.
Ben, completely agree. Philadelphia's top 3 centers are Claude Giroux, Daniel Briere and Richards, which is kind of sick even without factoring in that Jeff Carter was traditionally a center.

with Darcy Lyon and Zenshin Greg Fain
August 16-18 (Friday-Sunday) All levels welcome. Let's learn to relate to joy as an everyday part of a fulfilling life. In the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism, pramudita --surpassing joy-- is considered the first stage of practice for a bodhisattva. For many of us, joy is fleeting, perhaps a rare friend. However, through the commitment to our practice and ripening of our heart we can cultivate this jewel. How would it be to relate to joy as a foundational practice for a fulfilling life, and not just a fringe benefit to be hoped for? Join Darcy and Greg for a weekend of heart opening practices in Yoga and Zen to help uncover that which is our natural birthright. Retreat fee: $170 ($145/member) |

Admitting that you have mental health issues whilst you are a student feels like you are coming out of the closet, as it probably does in any stage of your life. Not in the traditional sense of the term 'closet', but in another sense; a sense of hiding away and fearing having these difficult conversations with people.
After fifteen years as a University Lecturer, I have seen and heard students do many things that frustrate lecturers. The amazing array of ways that students can infuriate their professor never ceases to astound me. Here is my top ten of what students should never do...
To some of my fellow 'lads' of Britain I make this simple call to you - don't pretend that making sexist chants on a bus can be passed off as a "bit of a laugh"... if you want to strut about like peacocks showing off who's got the largest set of feathers then don't do it in public for the world to see your idiotic behaviour.
As we go from day to day yelling at one another over what is acceptable to wear and what is acceptable to say we engage in an invaluable part of our society. To have ourselves heard does not always have to mean by the government or by a bureaucratic state, it can just mean being heard by those we're talking to; the people who have betrayed common sense...
Students considering going to university to study the "arts" need to be made aware that it is unlikely they will enter that field after they graduate. As important as film, media, fashion, performing arts are to this country the thousands of students who choose these courses are going to find themselves sorely disappointed when they leave university.
If we're honest, we in Britain are still obsessed by our class system, and haunted by the idea that there are certain 'privileges' to which we are either born 'entitled' or not. But what we don't seem to realise is how self-defeating this is.
You know you're POOR when you have to queue at the local food bank because you just can't see where your next meal is coming from. You know you're poor when that package of food is what will sustain your family for the next few days.
The third week of teaching has almost ended and already there are secretive, hushed meeting between freshers about our place here. Why are we here and What are we doing? Dare we even voice such questions?
For a student paying £9,000 in tuition fees, they should get value for their money and if universities are not motivating their staff, it means that everybody is losing out. Students will not get the good quality education that they are paying for, teachers are not paid fairly and will begin to "work to rule" and the universities credibility will plummet.
In effect, students are being asked to contribute more towards our tuition fees without seeing anything in return. The money isn't trickling all the way down the institutional hierarchy; it is stopping at the pockets of the most senior members.
University of Sheffield student and feminist activist Jenny Rose concurs: 'This advert is woefully bad taste. Using an implicit threat of violence as a way to sell your company to young female students leaves a very bad taste in my mouth and puts me off using their services'.

RENTON - DT Alan Branch practiced the final two days of the week and will play against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.
Four others are expected to be game-time decisions.
The availability of Branch is a big boost for the Seahawks defensive line. There was concern earlier in the week that Branch wouldn't be able to play after suffering an ankle injury on Sunday in Toronto. Branch has a history of ankle injuries but it wasn't as serious as first thought.
WR Sidney Rice managed to get some work in on Friday and will need to go through pre-game workouts to make sure he'll be OK to play.
"We'll find out," Carroll said. "He feels pretty good right now but we have to get to gameday and run him and see how he can tolerate it. He thinks he's playing."
CB Walter Thurmond and CB Marcus Trufant both returned to practice on Friday and managed to get some time on the field. Both have missed games due to hamstring strains. Trufant has missed the last three weeks after getting hurt in practice.
Thurmond injured his hamstring in practice last week and wasn't able to play against the Buffalo Bills last Sunday.
"They made it through this day today. We'll go all the way to game-time with those guys," Carroll said.
S Jeron Johnson did not practice Thursday or Friday due to a strained groin. He is going to a game-time decision as well, but Carroll though he'd be able to go.
"We don't think it's bad at all. There's a really good chance he's playing," Carroll said.
CB Richard Sherman was not at practice the last two days as he was attending the appeal for the four-game suspension for a violation of the performance-enhancing drug policy. Despite the missed time and his appeal status in question, Carroll said he expects Sherman to be able to play Sunday.
"I know nothing else at this point," Carroll said of the status of Sherman's appeal.
Carroll said DT Jason Jones suffered torn cartilage in his knee during Sunday's game in Buffalo that led to him being placed on injured reserve. Carroll said Jones didn't feel anything wrong with his knee until Monday before the injury became apparent.
RB Leon Washington and RB Robert Turbin were both listed on the injury report with illnesses this week but are expected to play Sunday night.

The Haunted Man Charles Dickens publisher: Chapman & Hall, 1848
summary: |
bookweb | ||
ON DICKENS' BOOKSHELF Don Quixote Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, 1605 / 1615 A comic study of delusion and its consequences; Don Quixote, the old gentleman of La Mancha, takes to the road in search of adventure and remains undaunted in the face of repeated disaster. Tom Jones Henry Fielding, 1749 The protagonist, Tom Jones, is introduced to the reader as a ward of a liberal Somerset squire, appearing a generous but slightly wild and reckless boy. Misfortune, followed by many spirited adventures as he travels to London to seek his fortune, teach Tom wisdom to go with his good-heartedness. The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Laurence Sterne, 1759-1767 Part novel, part digression, this gloriously disordered narrative interweaves the birth and life of the unfortunate 'hero' Tristram Shandy, the eccentric philosophy of his father Walter, the amours and military obsessions of Uncle Toby, and a host of other characters. Volpone: Or, The Fox Ben Jonson, 1606 A rich Venetian pretends to be dying so that his despised friends will flock to his bedside with gifts in the hope of an inheritance. The Alchemist Ben Jonson, 1610 Seventeenth-century comedy about three swindlers. Arabian Nights: Book of The Thousand Nights and One Night Anonymous, 14e eeuw Originating from India, Persia and Arabia, these tales represent the lively expression of a lay and secular imagination in revolt against religious austerity and zeal in Oriental literature. They depict a fabulous and fanciful world of jinns and sorcerers, but their bawdiness, realism and variety of subject matter also firmly anchor them to everyday life. Quentin Durward Sir Walter Scott, 1823 Quentin Durward is a young Scotsman seeking fame and fortune in the France of Louis XI in the 14th century. Walter Scott represents his ignorance and naivete as useful to 'the most sagacious prince of Europe' who needs servants motivated solely by the desire for coin and credit. Rob Roy Sir Walter Scott, 1817 This novel is set in the north of England and Scotland in the years before, during and after the first Jacobite rising in 1715. Rob Roy is a swashbuckling chieftain of the clan MacGregor who is forced to become an outlaw for his alleged espousal of the Jacobite cause. The French Revolution Thomas Carlyle, 1837 The classic history of the origins, events, and results of the French Revolution from 1774 to 1795. | BOOKS BY CHARLES DICKENS: Bleak House 1852-1853 A savage, but often comic, indictment of a society that is rotten to the core, Bleak House is one of Dickens' s most ambitious novels, with a range that extends from the drawing rooms of the aristocracy to the poorest of London slums. | WHAT TO READ AFTER BLEAK HOUSE? 'NOVELS OF MANNERS' BY 19TH-CENTURY DICKENSIANS The Wind in the Willows Kenneth Grahame, 1908 The tales of Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad. When Mole goes boating with the Water Rat instead of spring-cleaning, he discovers a new world. As well as the river and the Wild Wood, there is Toad's craze for fast travel which leads him and his friends on a whirl of trains, barges, gipsy caravans and motor cars and even into battle. [Klaasje Zevenster] Jacob van Lennep, 1865-1866 Foundling grows up in Dutch class society. Les misérables Victor Hugo, 1862 France in the first quarter of the 19th century: Jean Valjean, a poor man, steals a loaf of bread and then spends years trying to escape his reputation as a criminal. In later years he rises to become a respectable member of society; but policeman Javert will not allow him to forget his past. Demons Fyodor M. Dostoyevsky, 1871-1872 A powerful political tract and a profound study of atheism, depicting the disarray which follows the appearance of a band of modish radicals in a small provincial town. (Also published as The Possessed and The Devils) CONTEMPORARY DICKENSIANS [Publieke werken] Thomas Rosenboom, The overconfident violin-maker Vedder and his nephew Anijs, a country pharmacist, walk into a trap of their own making. The Bonfire of the Vanities Tom Wolfe, 1987 One night in the Bronx a millionaire, Sherman McCoy, and his mistress have an accident. The next day a young black man is in the hospital in a coma, as McCoy heads for disaster. His humiliation is at the centre of a satire on the decaying class, racial and political structure of New York in the 1980s. The Road to Wellville T.C. Boyle, 1981 An account of: Dr John Harvey Kellogg, inventor of the cornflake and peanut butter; his profligate, degenerate and opportunistic son; and the birth of America's first health fanatics. The Cider House Rules John Irving, 1985 Set in the rural town of Maine, this tale follows the bizarre story of Hormer Wells, from his apprenticeship in the orphanage surgery to his adult life running a cider-making factory and the strange relationship he has with his wife's best friend. The Great Fire of London Peter Ackroyd, 1982 Ackroyd's first novel, The Great Fire of London, is a reworking of Dickens' Little Dorrit. The Quincunx Charles Palliser, 1989 A complicated tale of a codacil containing a crucial entail, the possible existence of a second will, and a multiplicity of characters - all mysteriously related - seeking to establish their claims to a vast and ancient estate. Jack Maggs Peter Carey, 1997 Jack Maggs, raised and deported as a criminal, has returned from Australia in secret and at great risk. What does he want after all these years, and why is he so interested in the comings and goings at a plush town-house in Great Queen Street? |
Oliver Twist 1837-1838 As with most of Dickens' work, Oliver Twist directs the public's attention to various contemporary social evils, including the workhouse, child labour and the recruitment of children as criminals. Full of sarcasm and dark humour, it's greatest triumph was perhaps to reveal the hypocrisies of the time. | ||
The Old Curiosity Shop 1840-1841 A frequently and deliberately sentimental story of pursuit and courage in adversity, of malevolent and vile villains and the plucky and downtrodden characters who oppose them and their evil actions. | ||

Charles Dickens was recruited to compose the words to accompany the illustrations. This tale is a journey from innocence to experience by the portly middle aged hero and his guide and mentor. | ||
A Tale of Two Cities 1859 'A Tale of Two Cities has the best of Dickens and the worst of Dickens: a dark, driven opening, and a celestial but melodramatic ending; a terrifyingly demonic villainess and (even by Dickens standards) an impossibly angelic heroine.' - Simon Schama | ||
