Why do you commute by bike?
Beating the system - the cycling commuting section
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
I love commuting by bike, apart from when it rains, because I hate going to the gym and the exercise I get from it helps offset my other enjoyments in life...... Food and beer!!
The main reason would definitely be the health benefit. I don't want to come home after work and have to get down to the gym to do a bit of exercise. This way I do it on the way to work and back, essentially giving me more time at home.
Last year I was working for a company which had a gym membership attached to the job, which I tried to use, but hated going to the gym. I started riding in 2-3 times a week which was 50km one way. It was a great start to the day and gave me a sense of fulfillment that the gym never gave me. The other two days I would catch the train 2/3 of the way in and then cycle the last 15km. I always finished work quite late, so it was better to catch the train home than test people's night driving.
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
Because I can...I love riding and wanted to do more than 1 ride on Sunday morning. Yes, there are a heap of other reasons but really I commute by bike so I can ride more.
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
I'm almost embarrassed to say I've only started cycling to work full time this year. I've been at this house for over 5 years and at the same job all that time. My work has secure bike storage, shower and change rooms.If I go direct, it's 8.5km and a very safe route by Sydney standards. I now ride the "long" way which is a touch over 11km So why do I do it?
I'm finally fitting exercise into my schedule for virtually no time cost (3 kids under 5, demanding job, house renos and community work takes so much time)
We don't need to pay costs for owning 2 cars (~$5000 pa - nice tax free increase!)
I am more environmentally friendly
My wife loves the new body
So the real question for me is why did I think I couldn't do it earlier? To be honest I don't know anymore
Yes rain sucks, and cold mornings aren't my favourite but they are a small price to pay. Now I just need convincing to ride for fun and not just transport... maybe next year!
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
why? somtimes i wonder why too? for me a good ride home after work clears the head
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
Because I love it.
Then there's health, environmental, practical, and emotional (see above ) reasons.
Why do you commute by bike?
The money is more of an issue if you need to get into the city. Saved me $500 in a few months and that's only doing 3 days a week.
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
Because my wife wrote off her car and so now is using mine.
I love it that I "have to ride" but my wife keeps on giving me options out. It's not hard to resist because I do love to ride, commuting is great because you have a set destination and a specific purpose. And it gives me an excuse to enjoy a chocolate bar during the day. Pity my wife won't approve of me heading for a regular massage. Damn the papers reporting "happy ending" shops.
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
Simply coz I love riding my bike. Its only a 5km commute and I can only do 2 days a week, unfortunately. The other three I drop the daughter off at daycare but I have on occasion dropped her off and gone back home to get to work by bike!
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
I commute for a number of reasons:
1) Distance is 45k's from home to office so I am saving heaps on petrol.
2) The exercise is great for the Mental health side and physical side..slowly dropping the weight
3) Dont have time after work to get to a gym or such due to family and such
4) Am loving the challenge of cycling and trying to better my times
Downside is that due to my route, I am pretty much risking my life every day due to the roads not being designed with cyclists in mind
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
Get one of those bike kiddie trailer thinghamies and leave it at daycare and pick up in the afternoon on the way home.
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
yep did that myself for a few years, kids enjoy it, good workout for you and of course you get the thrill of riding everyday.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
It's the opposite in our house too.. I wish I could get my husband to ride with me or even walk with me, but he prefers to keep the couch warm.
i love my bike(s)
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
I ride because I want to, because I like to.
i love my bike(s)
Why do you commute by bike?
Riding for me freshens my mind before and after work. Plus how can you compare the joy of riding against the mindless train commute
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
Since I wrote that comment that erin quoted I've been hit by a car and suffered spinal injuries so have been banned from cycle commuting. so now I keep a bike at work, moto in and have a ride around the city path network before work. not quite the same but still feel better at work and at least the moto is still all the convenience of bicycling and half the price of public transport (BCC has free daily parking for motos in the CBD).
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
Fixed that for you
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
because there's no publicly funded rehab program for bike commuting.
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
perfect... thanks
i love my bike(s)
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
thought about it but her daycare is further out, I have extra stuff to lug and I don't know that I trust other motorists enough to ride with her in tow. Am slowly working up to it though!
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
The exercise. And to keep the kilometers down on my car.

Re: Why do you commute by bike?
a year ago my car packed up...i decided to purchase a bike and commute to work...the look of disbelief people's faces was comical![it is a 54km round trip commute and i work as a chef so the work hours are long and tiring!]i can honestly say i went through the whole denial process of "you won't catch me in lycra" etc...blah blah blah...this lasted about two weeks!!lol!
i have commuted in all weather conditions this year and there have been some tough days!however the feeling of riding and experiencing the freedom of the road etc..is incomparable!i have ridden around 13000km to date and if the gods are smiling on me i will continue on!!!love my bike!see you out there!!Black Giant TCR 2 Composite....dino...

Re: Why do you commute by bike?
Great story Dino
Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
Re: Why do you commute by bike?
This morning I was wondering why I commute - the answer today is because I must.
Usually it is because I want to - but riding to work in the rain is OK - cleaning the bike is not fun.
Not fast, no style, but still get there.

By far the best glove i've used. Very protective, and also flexible (when broken in). The glove doesn't stay the same though; it stretches out as you break it in.Pros:
The flexibility and protection, also looks really cool.Cons:

5.0 out of 5 stars Kapp Records...what a mix of sounds,
C. FULLER (Brixham, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Strange Feeling: The Kapp Records Story 1958 - 1962 (Audio CD)
Strange Feeling, The Kapp Records Story, DAY2CD228
This 50 track set certainly mixes the musical styles and is s a result a most varied offering with some very well known names along with others you may not remember too well. CD1 runs for 63.27 & CD2 runs for 61.04
The Kapp label licensed material from other labels for release in the USA and as a result you will hear British favourites Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen playing 2 of their big hits...Midnight in Moscow & March of the Siamese Children. It was also a showcase for up and coming middle of the road singers such as Jack Jones whose association with the label produced around 20 albums and earned him two Grammy awards.
Listen out for the ever popular Here Comes Summer, written and sung by Jerry Keller. It climbed to number 14 in the Billboard Hot 100. The record reached number one in the UK the same year, but lack of further chart appearances branded Keller as a one-hit wonder. "Here Comes Summer" reached the number one spot in the UK in, ironically, the autumn of 1959. It is still a well remembered and happy song...
From the world of jazz came Carmen McRae and she recorded 3 albums for the label including When You're Away which was released in 1959 and included the song The More I See You & Willingly.
The Brian Hyland hit Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini featured also on the Kapp album The Bashful Blond which was released in 1960.
Hyland was born in Woodhaven, Queens, New York. He studied guitar and clarinet as a child, and sang in his church choir. Hyland was eventually signed by Kapp Records as a solo artist, issuing his debut single, "Rosemary", in late 1959. The label employed the Brill Building songwriting duo of Lee Pockriss and Paul Vance to work with Hyland on the follow-up, "Four Little Heels (The Clickety Clack Song)", which was a minor hit, and the songwriting duo continued to work with Hyland.
In August 1960, Hyland scored his first and biggest hit single at the age of 16, "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini", written by Vance and Pockriss. It was a novelty song that reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and sold almost a million copies in the first two months of its release, and over two million copies in total.
Some of the other artists featured...
Ersel Hickey (1934 – 2004), born in Brighton, New York, was a rockabilly singer best known for his hit song "Bluebirds over the Mountain". He recorded for the Kapp label...
1961 Teardrops at Dawn/I Guess You Could Call It Love Kapp Records 372
1961 Lips of Rose/What Have You Done To Me Kapp Records 406
Kris Jensen born April 4, 1942, New Haven, Connecticut is an American singer and guitarist. Jensen began his career in music cutting records for Colpix, for whom he recorded his first single in 1959. He graduated from high school in Fort Lauderdale in 1960 and then recorded with Kapp Records and its subsidiary, Leader Records. One more disc was released on Leader, before he moved to Kapp for three single issues.
The Videls
The Videls were the first of several groups formed by the durable song-writing team of Pete Anders and Vinnie Poncia, both born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1941 and 1942.
Jimmy Justice
James Anthony Bernard Little, better known by his stage name Jimmy Justice (born 15 December 1939, Bermondsey) was an English pop singer. He scored three Top 40 hits in the UK in 1962.
Skip Cunningham is one of America's most talented entertainers and perhaps our last great "song and dance man". The career of this phenomenal tap dancer and singer spans a wide range of American entertainment alongside the likes of Tony Bennett, Ray Brown, Johnny Carson, Arnett Cobb, Nat King Cole, Bill Cosby, Lionel Hampton, Milt Hinton, Bob Hope, Illinois Jacquet, Jerry Lewis, Richard Pryor, Frank Sinatra, Noble Sissle, among many others. Mr. Cunningham has recorded for the Kapp, Coral and Motown labels.
Eddie Baxter 1922-1998
The most swinging organist to record for Dot in the 1960s. Baxter was born in Colorado, but grew up in Los Angeles, where he began performing professionally in his late teens. He played with Glen Gray and Frank Masters toward the tail end of the big band era, then settled into the studio system, where he worked as "musical director" for a variety of daytime game shows. He also played in nightclubs in Las Vegas and the L.A. area.
Jan & Kjeld
The Danish banjo playing and vocalising brothers came onto the recording scene in 1959 and were highly successful in Europe.
The Easy Riders
The Easy Riders were an American folk music band, that were active from 1956 to 1959, consisting of Terry Gilkyson, Richard Dehr, and Frank Miller. Their career was guided by Mitch Miller, who had them under contract for Columbia Records they also recorded for Kapp.
The liner notes are by regular Drew Heatley. The packaging is eye catching and fits with the style of the other "label" issues on One Day Music. There are 6 small black and white photos inside and recording years are included. This is a real roller coaster of a compilation with very good to excellent sound throughout. Talking to some customers in a local record shop about these CDs we all said how much we enjoyed them and never expected such "label" compilations available. Pricewise a snip and well worth collecting the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strange Indeed,
Amazon Customer "traceyann" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Strange Feeling: The Kapp Records Story 1958 - 1962 (Audio CD)
Two hours of music across two cd's from 'One Day Music' of 'Kapp' records releases from the period 1958 - 62 (So none of Lenny Welch's output sadly). This compilation is a real mix of genres, there are major hits, minor hits, rarities and everything in between. The opening salvo and title track is very good indeed. Other notable tracks are by Jerry Keller, Brian Hyland, Babs Tino and Billy the Kid. Not everything is to my taste, as I said this compilation is very broad in music styles. The sound quality overall is quite good for a public domain compilation. There is no booklet as usual with this type of low price comp. just a one sided intro. Overall an enjoyable listen, a few very good tracks, most are ok to good. 7.5/10.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great value for people wishing to be remember the oldies,
This review is from: Strange Feeling: The Kapp Records Story 1958 - 1962 (Audio CD)
Excelent value for money, and a great reminder of the tunes of yesterday, There were some duplication with my current music collection but that is a small price to pay for the additional ones.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value.,

4.0 out of 5 stars The Kapp records story,
This review is from: Strange Feeling: The Kapp Records Story 1958 - 1962 (Audio CD)
Excellent value for money and again a good snapshot of the label
I thought mostly ballads with good orchestral backing
However I was disappointed that one of their most famous stars
Roger Williams the pianist was omitted from this set.

Orange launches TV app to snag wandering eyes
Orange has launched a TV-enhancing iPhone app that is synchronised to 25 Freeview channels. The operator hopes it will keep the fiddling-generation focused on big screen content while catching their straying eyeballs where necessary. The app is called TV Check and uses the iPhone's camera to work out which channel you're …
A bit late to the game...
It seems as though half of twitter already live-tweet during shows such as Britain's Got Talent, so the social aspect of watching TV hasn't gone away, and unless all your social circle are using the Orange app, no-one will - another chicken&egg situation that Orange would need to surmount!
I wonder how much.....
..... Orange will pay the users to provide the amrkets content to the brand managers ?
Seems only fair that somebody should be paying the user to provide the info' for why they are not watching crappy TV adverts'.
Oh, I know why : becuase they're shite.
No Android version?
This is one app I'm happy isn't also available on Android. Who at Orange thought this would be a great idea?
Where is the upside
for the users? Many shows already have value-added content.
Re: Where is the upside
Many shows lack content, let alone "added" content.
Isnt this what Zeebox does but without the need of the camera pointing at the TV? (And ZeeBox can even change the channel for you if you have TiVo...)
Why on Earth would anyone want to use this? By "anyone", I mean the bod watching telly, not the program makers/advertisers.
Now Orange are trying to spam up Facebook and Twitter more than it already is with moronic talk about whatever drivel is currently on TV.
Massive #FAIL
6 months till they remove the service..

10 Fascinating Marine Species
For millennia, people have wondered just how many species live on Earth. The latest study looking to answer this question suggests there are about 8.7 million species, the majority of which scientists can't even name.
The oceans, as almost three-quarters of the Earth's surface, are home to millions of species—and only about 1 in 10 has been officially discovered by scientists. Here are ten ocean-dwellers we think are especially fascinating:
1. The box jellyfish, which lives in the waters off North Australia and Indonesia, is one of the most venomous species in the ocean. Its 10-foot-long tentacles can kill even cautious swimmers, yet some kinds of sea turtles can eat box jellyfish without even an upset stomach.
2. The lovely hatchetfish might be redefining lovely, but its thinness when viewed head-on helps it hide from predators, as does its silver color and bioluminescence.
3. Sailor's eyeball is the oceanic equivalent of skinless grapes at Halloween. This seaweed lives in waters around the equator, where it reproduces by disintegrating once young plants have formed inside of it.
4. The blue-ringed octopus may look pretty, but its vivid colors, which become brighter when the animal is disturbed, mark it as extremely poisonous—it is the most dangerous cephalopod and its saliva can kill a human.
5. The stonefish, the most venomous fish, can also kill a human with one sting. It takes its name from the camouflage that allows it to lie in wait for passing fish.

Bronson: Florida seafood is safe to eat
By SeafoodSource staff
Published on 23 May, 2010
Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles H. Bronson on Friday declared that Florida seafood is safe to eat amid misperceptions that the Gulf of Mexico oil spill has tainted the state's seafood catch.
"I am concerned about the misconceptions that are circulating about the safety and availability of Florida seafood. Because of these false impressions, our state's commercial fishing industry has suffered a severe economic blow," said Bronson.
"Florida seafood products are safe and plentiful. They have not been affected by the oil spill," he explained. "More than 80 percent of the Gulf of Mexico is untouched by oil, and our commercial fishermen continue to harvest products from these clean waters."
Bronson's statement comes as the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board and other organizations fight to keep the public informed about the oil spill's effect on Gulf fisheries.
The area off-limits to commercial fishing now constitutes just over 48,000 square miles, or 20 percent of U.S. Gulf waters, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced on Friday. The closed area stretches from southeastern Louisiana to roughly 150 miles west of Florida's west coast.
"We are continually monitoring water samples off Florida's coast," said Bronson. "If and when Florida waters are impacted by the spill, we will take immediate action to close the waters to commercial seafood harvesting. We would never jeopardize consumer safety by harvesting and selling any product that was not safe and wholesome. Never."
On Thursday, Bronson asked the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to open the summer oyster harvesting area in Apalachicola Bay 11 days early this year due to the oil spill. It usually opens for 92 days on 1 June.All Food Safety & Health stories >

Georgia Mjartan
Executive Director
Our House
Little Rock
Age: 32
Georgia Mjartan
Georgia Mjartan is no stranger to these pages or to honors in general. She's been recognized as an Arkansas Business Nonprofit Executive of the Year and, in 2009, was among our 20 in Their 20s.
The chief since 2005 of Our House, which helps the working homeless, Mjartan received a George J. Mitchell Scholarship, which she used to earn a master's in political communication and public affairs at the University of Ulster. And she holds bachelor's degrees in both political science and English from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
Mjartan is proud of Our House's successes with its adult residents, citing the nonprofit's employment program that last year connected its residents with 223 different employers in central Arkansas.
But what she's proudest of is the development of Our House's children's program. "I realized this need, not just in our own shelter, but for all school-aged homeless children across the state, and developed the state's first and only out-of-school-time program specifically targeting homeless children," Mjartan said.
Our House announced in April that it had met its $3.8 million fundraising goal and would soon begin construction of its new Children's Center. Mjartan sees the children helped by Our House as getting educations, joining the workforce, finding success and happiness and breaking the cycle of homelessness. And "that is a legacy that will carry on many, many years beyond today."

In 1879, a lumber baron named Thomas Barlow Walker built an extra room onto his house. He mounted his 20 favorite paintings on the room's walls and opened it to the public. This private collection transformed into a public gallery with the founding of Walker Art Center in 1927. Over the following decades, the center's staff amassed a collection focused on modern art, gathering works from Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, and Alberto Giacometti. Today, this permanent collection has expanded to encompass more than 11,000 modern and contemporary paintings, sculptures, and photographs, more than 800 film pieces, and more than 1,200 artists' books.
In the whimsical multistory geometric helix of the Barnes building, seven cube-shaped galleries radiate from a central core on terrazzo floors and under lofted ceilings. Docents lead group tours through the galleries to see rotating exhibitions or play hide-and-seek with Jackson Pollock. Current exhibits have explored the contemporary still photography of Cindy Sherman, American avant-garde film from 1960 to 1973, and prints, paintings, and sculptures produced after 1989. Inside the museum's social spaces, docents also host artist talks, film screenings, and open houses.
Designed as a contemporary twist on old European opera houses, the center's McGuire Theater draws visitors into its intimate space for live dance, theater, and music performances as well as performance art. Museum exhibits and events also spill outside to a central square and the four quadrants, bordered by granite and evergreen hedges, of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. As visitors walk across its lawns, they can glimpse iconic modern sculptures, cross a 375-foot steel-and-wood footbridge, or watch staff teach plants to paint in the Cowles Conservatory.
Originally the home of the Dakota and Ojibwe, Hennepin County began with the hopes and dreams of immigrants, New Englanders, and retired veterans. Why these entrepreneurs, farmers, laborers, craftsman, and vacationers decided to settle in what seemed to be a frigid, uninhabitable land is still a mystery, but their innovations and lineage are traced through the exhibits at Hennepin History Museum. The museum, located inside the historic George Christian mansion, hosts rotating exhibits and permanent collections that paint a picture of Midwestern life in the 19th and 20th centuries. From more recent decades, there are objects from Minneapolis Aquatennials and high-fashion clothes from downtown department stores such as Dayton's and Young-Quinlan. The Pillsbury Doughboy presides over it all, reminding guests of the importance of milling to the region's history.
Photographs, personal papers, and atlases round out the collection, whose contents are further illuminated during the museum's frequent events. Experts and authors, for instance, deliver talks in the museum's intimate fireside room, whose fireplace keeps guests warm and prevents them from huddling in the museum's historical bear-skin rugs. In another tucked-away area, researchers and amateur historians pore through the material in the library, which is open to visitors 5 days a week, and in the archives, which is open by appointment. They might find maps of the region from the start of the 20th Century or old pictures of homes in the neighborhood, all steeped in memories and history.
National Sports Center is one of the few places in the world where you can step from verdant fields onto stretches of ice. Eight ice arenas?four Olympic-sized, four NHL-sized?comprise more than 148,000 square feet inside the Schwan Super Rink. And as for the fields? The National Sports Center was originally conceived as a soccer complex, and it still boasts 52 fields. The Guinness Book of World Records has certified National Sports Center as the largest soccer complex on earth.
Hockey and soccer still only make up a small portion of the sports that are playable at the center. Those same soccer fields might host rugby on one day, lacrosse on another, and ultimate disc the following week, provided the discs have not flown south for the winter. The ice rink might host figure skaters as well as broomball teams. At the center's outdoor cycling velodrome, brake-free bikes race each other along a canted track, thrilling crowds every Thursday from late May to September. And of course, there's the Victory Links Golf Course, a 400-acre expanse that's home to an 18-hole championship course, a grass driving range, and an 18-hole bent-grass putting course. Players of all stripes can sign up for leagues and lessons in their favorite sport, or check out everything from expos to fitness classes on the calendar of events.
CorePower Yoga founder Trevor Tice knows yoga is much more than a tool for increasing physical strength. "We've seen first hand emotional breakthroughs, physical improvements, and most of all, a new found confidence and balance our students carry from the studio into their daily lives," says Trevor. To further their holistic efforts, CorePower provides additional services and programs across various locations. Some outposts house spas where visitors can quiet their minds with a massage or facial, while others host Karma Yoga events wherein teachers lead free classes for cancer survivors, and students share home-cooked food with homeless youths.
But yoga resides at the heart of CorePower's mission to inspire as many people as possible, so each studio boasts a range of classes that accommodates all experience levels. Truly serious students can conjure pensive expressions as they enroll in a yoga-teacher-training program, and all patrons can take comfort in knowing their studio was built from recycled materials and equipped with energy-efficient fixtures.
Wood Lake housed the antics of swimmers and boaters until the 1950s, when most of its water drained away. In the years since, it has transformed into the 150-acre year-round Wood Lake Nature Center, where 3 miles of trails and wooden boardwalks meander through three defined natural habitats. Visitors can immerse themselves in wildlife at a cattail freshwater marsh, mixed lowland forest, and restored prairie; view creatures from a wildlife observation shelter and docks; and witness performances and lectures in a 100-seat outdoor amphitheater. In a more than 4,000-square-foot interpretive center, on-staff naturalists guide guests through educational programs focused on plants, animals, and ecosystems while fielding questions such as why bears hibernate and how to beat an owl in a staring contest. Staff members showcase natural splendor through a range of indoor and outdoor seasonal events, such as Earth Day craft projects, family-friendly Halloween festivities, and winter festivities around New Year's. In the summer, counselors lead day camps during which children can explore the marsh with bug nets, learn how to use binoculars, and build forts in the forest. While Wood Lake Nature Center welcomes exploration, pets, bikes, rollerblades, and giant hamster balls are prohibited to ensure the preservation of local habitats.
Dedicated to the preservation and celebration of the state?s storied past, the Minnesota Historical Society dutifully curates 26 historic sites and museums that help visitors delve into days of yore?from the Forest History Center in Grand Rapids to the Jeffers Petroglyphs in Comfrey and Split Rock Lighthouse on the North Shore.
Explore the Minnesota History Center?s collection of artifacts, local artworks, and hands-on exhibits at the History Center in St. Paul, from Civil War battle flags to Prince's suit from Purple Rain. Temporary exhibits include American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition, on display through March 16, and Toys of the '50s, '60s and '70s, opening May 24. Mill City Museum in Minneapolis chronicles the linked histories of the flour industry, Minneapolis, and the Mississippi River, sending visitors through history as they traverse each floor on an eight-story elevator ride that depicts a working day at the mill. As a bonus, baking-lab demonstrations produce balmy bread samples and historically accurate stomach rumbles.

Chris Brown Likens Himself to Trayvon Martin, Says Jay Z Gets a "Pass"by Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
In a new interview with JET, Chris Brown compares himself to Trayvon Martin and says that Jay Z, despite his own shady past, gets a pass from the media.
The star, claiming shared experiences with Martin, says, "I identify with Trayvon 100 percent as far as living in 2013 and still dealing with blatant racism."
"This generation is so used to racism that it's normal; we don't care. We aren't on drugs or catching AIDS, but they still look at us as n--gas," Brown adds.
As for his reputation, the singer claims he's unfairly singled out.
"No disrespect, because I'm a fan, but nobody brings up the fact that [Jay Z] stabbed somebody and sold drugs," observes Brown. "He gets a pass."
Regardless of how you feel about that comparison, Brown's anger issues are well-documented, and he says he's worked hard to overcome them:
"You have to go through the struggle before you can get to the good part. I don't try to last out at people, or be as mad or impulsive as I used to be."
Overwhelmed by scrutiny, Brown feels as if he's been pushed over the edge, and appears to liken himself to a slave with the following comment:
"I got to the point where it's only so much you can take from the master, you feel me?" he asks JET. "I've taken my fair share of lashings."
Regarding the unending Rihanna and Karrueche situation, he says, "Relationships are the most difficult part" for him, but he's handled them like a man.
"I was honest with those two girls and I put out that video (above)," he says.
Brown, who calls himself single now, admits, "My ex and I broke up because of the 'situation' and she had moved on. I fell in love with another girl."
"Then my ex came back, so it was like, 'What is a man to do?'"
"I told them both the truth. I didn't do the sucker role."
What do you think of Chris Brown's comments regarding Rihanna, Karrueche, Jay Z and Trayvon Martin, the unarmed teen who was shot and killed in 2012?

It must be a cultural trait to be so tainted with racism in your country. I guess it's the virulence that the singer referred to. I admire that he persists in the face of such adversity. I wish him well. He admits to his errors, & imperfection, & at least it hasn't crippled him. So CB, do your darnedest. The best revenge is success. Keep your head up, son.
1st- it has crippled him and that can be confirmed by listening to him cry like a bitch to the world fabulous diverse magazine Jet! A coward is one that runs"pass interference" in reference to him calling out Jay Z another (useless) rapper with the hopes of making him look not so bad. All rappers should be extremely thankful they are in a profession where accountability & respectability is not a necessity. A far as racism goes...Black Americans are living in a world & time where the white race has an identity crisis. They are educated where high school popularity is a necessity or Liberal college professors supply pollution and by the time their useless impractical, polluted ass takes to the real world they are in a word...... Fucked! Then there is the white uneducated, unpopular female! She is the most emotional handicapped of all! She is weak, vulnerable, immature, naive and in most cases- flat out stupid! She actually believes the black boy with bling bling gives a shit about her! Her ignorance will not depart long enough to see that 50% of violent crimes are from black males. 70% of black mothers are providing for their kids ALONE and 9 out of 10 race crimes are black on white! Flash mobs galore! Yet- the illusion of the white female is to be popular and what better way than to live in a fantasy. Of all races in America, Blacks are sucking the dry tit & it will continue because there are just ENOUGH whites left to feed their own racism, hatred and insecurities. I never understood why ANYONE that is established would ever negotiate with anyone that doesn't have anything to offer! Just doesn't make since and by that I mean, the lost will stay lost, the hungry will continue to scrounge and the white female will continue to wreck her world each & every day! As they say -Life is so much easier once you give up Hope! You would be better off- LONG TERM to have a felony rather than to allow yourself to be visually seen.... With the Dark side! It's so easy and sometimes popular to fall into that but it is a BITCH to get out of!
And the stupid will stay stupid.
How refreshing to see a kind & positive message for Chris, X.
Yes, there is a definite lack of empathy in these posts.Worse than that,these folks do not bother with any self-introspection.It is admirable that Chris has kept strong in his work ethic & Creativity despite being the target of this pernicious & unflagging nastiness.
I am sure he will survive the ongoing negativity.You can see a formidable Spirit in his amazing
I will tell you what I see and it's not his talent! I see a female who is infatuated with a black boy. Some "jungle fever" mindset that all she wants is a hip "HOPPER" to scratch her ITCH! ! She uses her psychoanalysis to somehow scheme and Plot her giving an understanding &emotion crutch so she can justify her need for the black! Abstract at best is her reasoning! She turns a blind eye at him being an abuser because the ITCH is so strong. To say: HE CAN DANCE AND SING WITH SO MUCH talent is really to say- I JUST WANT HIM and don't care what he would do to me! Seek Help! ASAP
Holy crap.it's like a gang of crazies have escaped the ward.!I see you are too cowardly to address Xislander.
Listen- why don't you just admit that you are N love with any kind of Dark Meat! This boy is the typical black! Why? Because ONLY ONLY ONLY ONLY after he received much flack did he then apologize which that means not a fu*king thing to the average person. You have to be one of these whites that have blown every chance with a decent man! You have bought into the "Racial Demotaliztion" and for some Psychotic reason you think that any black celebrity could serve you well. Maybe your life's ambition is to have cornrolls and a little Carmel baby. You are a sellout & all the sympathy in the world will not quench your thirst or make anyone see you for what you are and your motives. Just another rapper groupie- you are, what a disappointment for you.
You only wish you had the Fortitude to defend Anyone.I can't imagine being so gutless that you have to Repeat the same old worn out insults.Got to follow
those Mindless peers of yours.?
Your imagination is wonderful though.Do I sound like I would take Abuse from anybody?
It's called being Reasonable & Compassionate,two qualities you obviously do not possess & apparently do not feel that any 'White Woman' should. Actually, your simmering rage & your pompous analysis of what my life
'must be like' only conveyed your
deep rooted Insecurities. If you want to keep hating a 'Celebrity' that you think you know,so be it.
Don't hate a guy because You can't Dance.
Just wondering, have you taken alot of 'Hits to the Head?'
What life must be like for a woman especially (white) to defend this piece of garbage. Unstable is the obvious diagnosis. Low selfworth is another. Those picked over women venture off to the other side, must have daddy issues or maybe their whole family has thrown them away. Either way those kind of females are lost and all they now have is a c bown type who abuse. That's one of the symptoms of an abuse victim, they defend the abuser. It's an illness and an obvious racial disconnect in identity. They have been shunned by their own race because they have no standards and now all they can do is take up for the people that have no use for them. Still- they can go to da club and get passed around like a rag doll and call each other boo. What a long miserable life ahead don't you agree boo. Haha!
How unfortunate that a person (female) can continue to take up for Brown. A person must have a complex to think its okay for a man to beat a woman, maybe it's just a black thing. A person would need some anger management and that anger must be masked as guilt for them to take up for this asshole a 1/2 decade later. Sad people.
my step dad just bought a fantastic blue Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan by working parttime off of a computer... continue reading this ....BAM21.ℭoℳ
.......................Go to website and click Home tab for more details.
You obviously have no understanding of human psychology nor the capability of forgiveness.I am not sticking up for the that One time Chris Brown hit a woman.What you fail to comprehend is that by you being Angry & Hateful,that mentality of carrying 'Vicious & Malovent' thoughts against Chris Brown
for this length of time ,makes you much more 'Nasty & Twisted' than he could ever be.
That's what is so Sad
Oh.... I cold have sworn you were playing the race card and I'm not talking a ONE TIME THING! He's black and that's the only reason you speak on this topic! So- what does that make YOU!
Uhm,....a white girl who believes in human rights & the chance to live& learn.
Seriously, I do not play cards at all .goodbye & good luck.
Blacks need to stop their ppl from being prone to crime. They may have come from africa and lived like animals but they can't do that in a civilized society. They want to live in section 8 houses with 12 ppl in a tiny house/apt so they can buy expensive shoes and jewelry from the discount mall kiosk. Tv portrays them as such. They need better leadership and role models!
And they waste the money on fake hair instead of wearing the pube-like hair proudly. They go an get a wig or weave. It's a waste.
you are just stupid, ignorant. So you are calling your president what...?
The only animal here is you. STUPID
And you, Chris Brown aplogists... Who make every excuse for him.
It's rascism. He was angry. He was drunk...
Are absolute idiots!
Poor Chris Brown... You see yourself as a poor victim... You are clearly delusional! And you handle relationships like a man - by beating the shit out of them. Well done CB.
How unfortunate that you cannot let go of your anger towards Chris Brown.You have led a perfect life? You screaming 'Idiots' at anyone who thinks it is time to let it go after ,uhm, almost half of a decade? That seems to be an 'anger management'' problem.
Learn how to use the space bar after u finish a sentence!! Soooo annoying. Don't they teach that at the online GED school???
Why don't you drive your black boyfriend to the liquor store and pick up his welfare check. That's if you can slip out of your ankle bracket. You are pathetic
@Lola- you are the worst of the worst- a white who likes the dark side. No wonder you are alone. I bet all your friends and family have abandoned you and with good reason. You are alone and will always be because you are weak and the dark side has u under foot.
@ way down Lola-You will never see the day I associated with a Oreo that refers to anyone as boo! You like that dark don't you! I bet you have that stink fragrance don't you! You will not be seen as white- EVER! Maybe a picked over, kicked to the curb mud shark female .
Wow.What a clever Comeback.
That is what you happens when you hold a grudge for so long.All that anger gets you too tongue- tied to make a point.I really wish my car hadn't been stolen by Racists cuz then I could drive my Single White Self to the Club & dance to Chris Brown's music. Lighten up,boo.
Bottom Line:
The only thing you know about Chris is what's in the media so stfu about him being an asshole, a tatted rapper (which doesn't have anything to do w. shit), a deuche, etc. Before you judge anyone, look at what you've done in your past.
And yes. CB can compare himself to Trayvon Martin because he's black & there are racists out there who are using the Ri's situation to hate on him because now they have a REAL reason to hate him. Anyone who is young, no matter what race (but yes, the black race especially), can compare theirselves to Trayvon because it could've been anyone of us (anybody's child) so fuck off & stop hating.
You are so right, Tiaa.This is about race & I think jealousy of his success.What he did to Rihanna was way wrong.However, she has forgiven him & if you people cannot understand that 'striking out in a moment of rage' is a human response, then I guess you are not very humane yourself.Chris was still a boy when this happened & he has Never done it again.Makes me wonder if Harry Styles or Austin Mahone would have been persecuted like Chris for the same Behaviour.The answer is 'NO.' People would be upset for a few months & then chalk it up as 'immature impulse control' and .move on.Chris, however, is a tall black man now, so the hate, the same bad jokes, the hassling continues.If anyone is still fuming & wishing Chris ill,it is time for therapy.
Feel free to play the race card. Don't want to miss a chance, you will never be able to be seen as black unless you play the card!
Isn't 'playing the race card' a convenient ,trendy phrase to use when one has run out of a really
valid explanation?
That's quite magical.So if I play this 'Race Card' I will no longer be seen as my own white self?
Where do you get this bizarre terminology?
CB is ghetto. He doesn't give his money to girls to buy fake hair either and he doesn't have a section 8 house. Bet his family does! But they have bling, a wig, and shoes.
Fuck All of You who don't like Chris. How you talk shit about someone you know nothing about? He was in love w. 2 girls & he didn't know what to do. As for the whole beating Rihanna situation, middle fingers up to you. He apologized for what he did. Now move tf on! All of you stay talking about him like you all are Saints... Bitch please! Believe it or not Rihanna fucking crazy too! Don't let the pretty face fool you! Her ass provoked him to. Like it or not, but it is legal to beat a woman's ass if she's trying to beat yours! Obviously he's not much of an asshole if he has another woman (Kareuche Tran) loving him who knows what happened w. Ri!

This is an amazing condo. We have stayed at many other units at Kamaole Sands and none was either as clean as or appointed as well as this unit. We felt very comfortable here and were surprised at all the little "extras" in the unit that made us feel that Charley really cared about our well being during our stay.

LGBT rights in Andorra
|LGBT rights in Andorra
|Legal since 1790, age of consent equal
|Gender identity/expression
|Military service
|Has no army
|Discrimination protections
|Sexual orientation protections (see below)
|Family rights
|Recognition of
|Civil unions since 2005
|Same-sex couples are not allowed to adopt.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Andorra may face some legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents.
Civil unions, which grant some benefits of marriage, are recognized.
Law regarding same-sex sexual activity[edit]
The law prohibiting same-sex sexual activity was abolished in 1790.[1]
The age of consent is equal at 16, regardless of sexual orientation and/or gender.[2]
Recognition of same-sex relationships[edit]
Same-sex couples can register their partnership under the name "Stable Union of a Couple" since 2005.[3]
Adoption and family planning[edit]
In Andorra, same-sex couples are not allowed to adopt [4][5][6] because the adoption law only recognises this possibility for heterosexual couples.[4]
Immigration Equality[edit]
Andorra provides equal treatment to all citizens with respect to immigration and family unification, regardless of sexual orientation.
Discrimination protections[edit]
Andorra prohibits discrimination and hate crimes based on sexual orientation.[3]
Blood donation issues[edit]
Men who have sex with men (MSM) can donate blood to the Blood and Tissues Bank of Catalonia, but not to the Établissement Français du Sang in France.[3][7]

Re:Intel (294 comments)
Did you know that Intel's chipsets include a very respectable ethernet controller? Have for a long time. Most motherboard manufacturers don't use them, though. For some reason, they'd rather bolt a suck-tastic Realtek controller onto one of the PCIe lanes, instead. Buying Intel-made boards is about the only way to get one that uses the on-chipset controller.... Unless you're going with an AMD CPU.
Re:and this is news why? (205 comments)
The way those tools work is that they write a customized firmware image onto the controller. (or an EEPROM, or the start of the flash) This way, if you don't need the thing to impersonate a CDROM, that code doesn't get loaded onto the chip. Specifics about partition sizes, read-only settings, etc, get tacked onto the end of the appropriate image as a data block.
If the chip manufacturer released a firmware update to address a bug in a previous release, the same tools can be used to install the firmware updates. You just have to replace the packaged images.
But you don't HAVE to use the bundled firmware images. A little legwork (or disassembly of the bundled firmwares) will yield all you need to know to write your own firmware for the thing that does whatever you want it to. Frequently, like the MV6208, the controller is built around an 8051-derivative. ( ref: http://www.belinking.com/downl... ) knowing that, you can write your own custom firmware that enumerates as a second keyboard to try and run commands. Or whatever else you want to make it do.
Re:and this is news why? (205 comments)
Hell, even the controllers in SD Cards can be exploited to run arbitrary code - http://bunniefoo.com/bunnie/sd...
Re:and this is news why? (205 comments)
A typical USB stick or a webcam don't have hardware to permit firmware upgrades, even though the silicon inside could be theoretically upgradable.
How uninformed you are!
https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/8630-collection-of-production-tools-for-usb-devices/ is a discussion of "production tools" for USB flash drives.
These tools are specific to the controller in the flashdrive (chipsbank, micov, etc) and allow you to do things like change what size the drive reports itself as, load files onto the thing and make it behave as a read-only flash drive, load files on and make it behave as a USB CD/DVD-ROM drive with a disk preloaded, make it behave as a single flashdrive with multiple partitions, make it come up on the USB bus as a compound device consisting of any combination of the above.
My company uses these sorts of tools to distribute software on read-only flashdrives.
Re:Price is reasonable - $35, not $90 (54 comments)
That's why it's important to actually read what they wrote instead of just stopping at the first "red flag" you come to.
Why flexible funding? We choose flexible funding because we want to give people a chance to contribute to the software as early as possible. The hardware part is already done and we have sold units to existing customers who were very happy about it. Specially for this campaign we made a new revision ready for mass production so we can sell it at an even better price than we already had in our shop: https://dptechnics.com/shop/?q...
They already have finalized hardware in production. They're not trying to fund hardware development and production. They've already done that. They're using indiegogo as an advertising channel and as a secondary storefront.
Re:Just 2 models of Audi? (61 comments)
The steering wheel.
Most vehicles (if not all) being marketed for consumer road use have power steering. The standard (in the USA, if not globally) is to use hydraulics to help you move the wheels back and forth as you steer.
Those two models of Audi use electric motors to provide power assist, instead. That makes it MUCH easier to interface the control system.

The entry for "Alpha Particles" was updated from "Harmless." to "Mostly Harmless." quite some time ago. Because it is... AS LONG AS the emitter is *OUTSIDE* the body.
An alpha particle is going to steal electrons from the first molecule it comes in contact with, and become a helium atom. If you're exposed to alpha radiation from the outside, it's going to hit and react with the layer of already dead skin cells called the epidermis.
So yes, as long as you don't swallow, inhale, inject, or otherwise insert the alpha-emitting radioisotope, you're probably going to be just fine.
Re:Can the FDA regulate free software? (130 comments)
You are correct. If it is distributed in the USA, and it crosses state lines, the FDA has jurisdiction on it. EVEN IF IT'S FREE.
Re:Would this apply to an Australian? (130 comments)
The fact that Google Play is run by an American company is not the issue.
Whether or not your app is available to be downloaded in the US is. Because you're importing your app into the US to be used by Americans.
But that's a side issue. EVEN BY AUSTRALIA'S STANDARDS your app likely qualifies as a medical device. If you're not already registered with the Ministry of Health as a medical device manufacturer, I would highly recommend contacting someone to confirm with them whether your app should be regulated under Australian law, and whether you're breaking the law by distributing it (or allowing it to be distributed) in Australia without registration.
And then do the same thing with every other country your app is downloadable in. Because every country's regulations may be somewhat different.
Software is not special just because it's mobile. (130 comments)
DISCLAIMER: I am, (among other hats) a software developer for a medical device manufacturer in the United States.
Seriously, people. The FDA's stance has *ALWAYS* been that if something has a medical purpose or is an accessory to a medical device, then it *IS* a medical device, even with software. See: Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices, dated 2005.
For the purposes of this document, we refer to devices that contain one or more software components, parts, or accessories, or are composed solely of software as "software devices," including:
- firmware and other means for software-based control of medical devices
- stand-alone software applications
- software intended for installation in general-purpose computers
- dedicated hardware/software medical devices.
- accessories to medical devices when those accessories contain or are composed of software.
This guidance applies to software devices regardless of the means by which the software is delivered to the end user, whether factory-installed, installed by a third-party vendor, or field-installed or -upgraded.
So, yes, apps with a medical purpose are medical devices, just like any other piece of software.
Which means they *ARE* subject to the "Obamacare Tax" -- Which is *NOT* a "sales tax" to be paid by the consumer. It's an "income tax" to be paid by the manufacturer / developer.
This also means that if your app is categorized as a medical device, you (the developer) have to register with the FDA as a device manufacturer, which costs a couple thousand dollars a year, and means that every few years, the FDA sends someone out to review your quality control system, which includes your testing methodologies, what complaints you've received and how you've handled them, how you document your development process, etc.
AND what your software does determines what kind of medical device the FDA calls it. And the kind of medical device determines whether you are required to get the FDA's permission before you distribute it. (even if you distribute it for free) And yes, applying for that permission costs money, whether it's approved or not.
And, by the way: Each country makes its own rules about what makes a medical device and what you're required to do to be able to legally distribute it in that country. And in most countries that includes software.
Re:Don't be evil (some of the time) (555 comments)
I can see the argument that if you're limited in any way as to what you can do with your connection then it's not strictly neutral. I disagree with it completely, especially if the connection was sold under a "residential, not publicly accessible" contract. If this were about what content I could access via that connection, or how traffic from different providers / protocols is prioritized, THAT would be a neutrality issue.
If your connection is behind a NAT (carrier grade or otherwise) where you're sharing an IP with multiple other users, that's going to prevent you from being able to run a server that can accept connections from the outside world. -- unless your ISP adds rules to their router to ensure that certain ports on your connection are always available to the outside world. And if you want access to the standard ports (80, 53, 443, 25, 22, etc) they have to ensure that "your IP" is unique, at least among the subset of customers that want that ability.
Carrier grade NAT is only necessary because of widespread refusal (including among carriers) to adopt IPv6. But even without NAT, I still wouldn't have a problem with the ISP saying you can't run a server on a residential connection. Because IP space isn't the only limited resource in play.

The difference here is the guy who went to talk to the police on his own (ie voluntarily) vs being arrested (ie unwillingly).
Actually, the guy DIDN'T go to the police on his own. The police came to his house and started asking him questions, then they brought him to the station.
The differences between what happened and "an arrest" are that he was not mirandized and (presumably) was not handcuffed. It's still possible that the officers led him to believe he didn't have much choice in the matter.

Actually, I think it is YOU who are missing the point. Because if an Arduino will satisfy your needs, then by god, use the Arduino! If your project's small enough that a $30 Arduino UNO will be ample for what you want it to do, you'd be downright silly to build your project around one of these, instead.
But you're falling into the same trap that a lot of other people are -- thinking that all embedded systems have the same needs. Not all embedded systems need to be low-power, battery operated, or have no need for a display or a disk controller. Some robots need a lot more processing power than you can cram in an 8-bit micro, especially if you're dabbling in machine vision and autonomous systems. A document scanner (not to be confused with a document camera), laser printer, blu-ray player, and an XBOX 360 are all examples of "embedded systems", too.
The above list showcases another misconception about embedded systems: Not all embedded systems can stand alone. Sure, you could probably build a scanner around an Arduino -- I've certainly had scanners in the last 30 years that were built around much less capable microcontrollers -- but you'd need an external computer to drive the thing and to stitch the images coming off the sensor together into one single page and save that as whatever document format you want. If you just want to connect it to your desktop computer or you've already got a spare PC that you want to dedicate to controlling your project, that's fine. But you can save a lot of space and power if everything were able to be integrated into a single system.
I'm not trying to say that you should go out and buy a stack of these and use 'em everywhere you'd use an Arduino. That wouldn't make any sense. It's entirely possible that you, personally, are never going to contemplate a project that would ever need more than an Arduino UNO, or maybe you'll eventually upgrade to a DUE. And that's okay. Really, it is. But just because YOU don't have a need for something like this, doesn't change the fact that some of the rest of us might.

While I will grant that you're right, "doesn't usually" is not the same as "never".
