LINCOLN — Last Saturday night, the owner of Lincoln's only bicycle salsa delivery business worked the door at Duffy's Tavern downtown. As he checked IDs, he sold two jars of salsa.
The next night, salsa maker Johnny Davis stopped by O'Rourke's Tavern across O Street, where a bearded regular in a sweatshirt printed with a wolf approached him about buying a jar.
Davis didn't have any extras; after several hours of making deliveries, the cooler on his bicycle was empty. He promised to deliver one the next day, at the bar, via bicycle.
The chatty, tattooed, 44-year-old fixture of downtown Lincoln has received orders for his homemade salsa when he's out with friends, when he's riding his bike and, once, when he was ordering a slice of pizza. Customers also place orders in more traditional ways: phone, text and Facebook message.
He has a standing order from his friend and former roommate Kelly Smith, with whom he does remodeling and small construction jobs during the week. He has another from his daughter, who knows how to make his recipe but prefers receiving it from her dad.
He's been making and delivering Johnny's Salsa for less than six months. A conversation at O'Rourke's — the kind of bar with a well-used pool table, Christmas ornaments hanging from the ceiling year-round and an eclectic mix of devoted regulars — spurred the idea. Davis initially thought Johnny's Salsa would be more novelty than anything. Where else can you order salsa from someone who delivers it on a bike?
Despite the novelty — or more likely, because of it — Johnny's Salsa found a market, and that market is quickly growing. At this point, it's a part-time venture, but Davis hopes that someday salsa will pay his bills.
In the beginning, Davis' customers mostly were friends and acquaintances — a fairly big group. Davis has lived in Lincoln his entire adult life, save for a few years he spent in Athens, Ga. He's active in Lincoln's large and tight-knit bicycle community, he's a regular at several O Street taverns, and he's worked enough jobs over the years it sometimes feels like he's met most everyone in town. And Davis likes to talk — about bikes, about construction projects, about music, about his family, and lately, about salsa.
At his daughter's urging, he started a Johnny's Salsa Facebook page, which drew a few more orders. Then Pepe Ferito, the owner of the popular vegetarian Mexican restaurant Pepe's, gave Johnny's Salsa a Facebook shout-out. Davis' initial production of 16 pint jars a week quickly grew to nearly 80 jars a week. Deliveries have turned into a workout that can cover more than 20 miles and last all afternoon.
"Through the summer, I'm going to have Popeye legs," he said.
Both cycling and salsa-making come naturally to Davis. He started cooking when he was around 11. He was a picky kid, he said, and his mom, who was cooking for her own four children and, later, two stepchildren, too, told him that if he didn't like what she made, he'd have to fend for himself.
He started helping with dinner, said his mom, Judy Carbaugh. Sometimes, he'd make versions of whatever she was making that lacked the avocados and onions he hated as a kid. When she had to work, he and his brother would sometimes make dinner for their younger siblings.
Carbaugh, whose mother's family was from Mexico and father's family was from New Mexico, grew up cooking a mix of Mexican and Tex-Mex foods. She was glad when Davis took an interest in the family recipes.
"I always told my boys, 'Don't rely on your wife; you make your dinners.'"
When Davis was in his early 20s, he asked her to make him a cookbook of some of her favorite recipes. She did, and he learned to make everything in it except for tamales.
But he didn't take to anything quite like he took to salsa.
By the time he was in his 20s, he was bringing salsa to family gatherings (his mom's was too chunky, he said, and had too many tomatoes).
He became particular about salsa. He likes it well-minced, so each scoop includes the onions, peppers, cilantro and other ingredients that give it its unique taste.
"You don't want to chase a tomato or an onion around the bowl," he said.
He ate salsa on almost everything, even adding it to his spaghetti sauce. When he had a surplus of salsa, he'd give jars to friends or bring some to O'Rourke's on Fridays after work.
Biking came a bit later. About 10 years ago, Davis got a DUI and lost his driver's license, one of several run-ins he's had with the law. He started using a bike to get around and found he liked it better than driving, anyway. Now, he drives pretty much only when he can't get to where he's going on a bike or when he has too much stuff to haul — such as when he heads to the F Street Community Center's commercial kitchen with a load of tomatoes, peppers, tomatillos, garlic, cilantro and onions, as well as roasting pans, cutting boards, knives, mixing bowls, measuring cups and a food processor.
He pays $25 an hour to use the kitchen, and he's fast. He deftly alternates between chopping vegetables, checking on tomatoes, peppers and tomatillos roasting in the two commercial ovens, running batches of the base through a food processor, sterilizing jars and other tasks. He's considered videotaping himself to see where he could save time. He makes one gallon each of four varieties — red, green, roasted red and roasted green — in two hours.
The salsa is medium spicy, a conscious choice.
"Salsa is always so hot you burn your taste buds off," said Davis' daughter, Alexis Korn Araya, who inherited her dad's pickiness.
Davis ladles the salsa into pint jars, packs them into a cooler rigged onto a used bike trailer, then distributes them across the city on an old French single-speed bicycle (he's building a three-speed to get him through the busy summer months). He gives customers an estimate of when he'll drop by, and if they're not at home, he leaves the salsa in a bag on the porch and picks up payment later.
Last month, during a busy delivery day, he spent four hours dropping off 32 jars. Another day, he was prepared to ride all the way from his home near downtown to a house near the airport — a 15-mile round trip. When his customer realized his mode of transportation, she worried about the distance and offered to meet him downtown.
He would have done it, though.
A jar of salsa and delivery runs $5, though Davis sometimes gets tips of cash and beer. If customers are home, he's glad to hang out for a while. When he stops by his daughter's house, he takes a break to play with his granddaughter, who is almost 2.
He makes his deliveries regardless of the weather. The labels say "made by hand, delivered by bike," and he figured that was a promise. Before he makes his rounds, he draws a map of his deliveries and plots the best way to get there.
"He gets stuff done," said Carbaugh, who is especially proud of her son's most recent endeavor.
Her second-born child has done a lot of things. He works construction, he works in bars, and he briefly worked as a surgical technician. But he gets his love of cooking from her.
She's helped him with the salsa business. She sewed koozies to keep the jars from knocking against each other and breaking during transit.
Others have helped too.
Jeremy Wardlaw, a friend from O'Rourke's, designed Davis' labels and business cards.
"It's obvious his heart and soul are in making his salsas," Wardlaw said. "I usually charge for work like this, but just asked if he would be down for some salsa in-trade and we made it happen."
That's how it's gone with a lot of things.
Davis has traded salsa for eggs, honey, homemade barbecue sauce and, once, a desk (that cost him two jars of salsa).
Smith, Davis' friend and co-worker, is willing to make deliveries for salsa.
A few friends have cautioned Davis not to burn out, but he's not worried. Even if he weren't biking all over Lincoln pulling a trailer loaded down with 50 pounds of salsa, he'd most likely still be biking. He'd still be making salsa, too, though, not nearly as much. And since he works for a friend — a friend who likes salsa, no less — if he needs to take off a little early to get some kitchen time in, it's not usually a problem.
Davis hasn't burned out on salsa, either.
He can talk about it for hours. He signs business emails "Johnny Salsa."
And he still likes it enough to eat it on almost everything.
"I do, amazingly."

Gossip Girl Finale Preview: Stephanie Savage Teases the Last Chapterby Steve Marsi at .
After more than five years and 120 episodes, the last chapter of Gossip Girl airs tonight, and executive producer Stephanie Savage is here to preview some of the twists, turns, returns and reveals.
Will the Chair "endgame" live up to expectations? What about the identity of the title character? Who else will end up together? And what about the many familiar faces from the past showing up?
Here are five things to look out for when the series takes its final bow tonight:
1. The reveal of Gossip Girl wasn't necessarily planned - at least not from the onset.
"When you're thinking about a finale, you go back to the pilot, you think about everybody's series arcs and think what is the premise of the show? In this case, 'Who is Gossip Girl?' is a big part of the show."
"We had a thought in the back of our minds who Gossip Girl was, but we were never sure if we were going to reveal that. Was it something the audience wanted to know, or would they rather not know?"
"We kept it very open. Then last year, we did a lot of storytelling with Gossip Girl and it felt right that this year, she would be revealed."
2. It surprised the cast members themselves, but in a good way. "The actors were really excited and surprised," Savage says. "Everyone has had many theories over the years. I think they liked it."
3. The writers agreed on which couples should end up together. "When you create a series," Savage says, "you have an idea in the back of your mind where you think everybody is going to end."
"But you have to be very open to the road the actors and characters take, which I think we really tried to be on Gossip Girl. In the end, I think I always felt I knew who I wanted to be together."
"By the time we were at the end of Gossip Girl Season 5, the writers were all united."
4. They have no regrets, about anything, unlike some of the CW show's viewers.
"There are too many things to think about what you would do differently," she says. "That's one of the good and bad things about TV, you have to keep going and you can't second guess yourself."
5. A Gossip Girl movie could maybe happen ... somehow, some way, and some day. "It's funny we've never talked about [a movie] seriously until the show was actually ending," Savage says.
"We've never had any legitimate conversations about doing a movie until we were saying goodbye. Then we said, 'We'll do a movie, Broadway show or reunion show, right?'"
"Even though we are likely to see each other again it's not like we'll all be working together again, so that's where the fantasy starts."
So say so long to Gossip Girl tonight, then visit TV Fanatic for a full review and analysis! For now, check out these Gossip Girl clips and share your predictions and theories of what we can expect!

in the half of season 5 blair was so bitchy! she let him fight for her and when he did that she went to dan! and then she says to chuck don't let this ruin every good in you > blair pleas you ruined his whole life right now! I just wanted to say that. but now that they are togheter i'm sooooo happy !! and there sonn is soooo cutee and yeah i'm jusst sooo happy that they ended up!! love chair forever !!
Dan being GG, really? The only one that could make sense of that is the untalented moron in charge a.k.a Stephanie Savage --- And speaking of Savage, please see a doctor because your face is melting and maybe your botox has seeped into your brain, so have that checked out also.
Oh there is no way they will do a movie -- Any cast member with a functionally mind would say yes to that, so bitch please don't embarrassed yourself with that statement.
Only moronic Chair shippers would be happy with that ending. Dan as GG has made the whole show a complete joke from the beginning. To then claim that Dair was just a way to get her back with Chuck was pathetic and desperate retconning. I don't think there's ever been I show I've regretted watching ever before but I regret this one. These writers should never find employment again.
Love it, plot holes and all. I mean they had to fix the mess that was Dair but they did a good job of totally negating it. Dan dated Blair to get her to realize her love for Chuck. GG did say, haven't we paid the toll enough for that relationship in reference to Dair. Love it all. GG is gold.

Low Price Guarantee
Comment: Yes it's cheap and made in China but what do you expect for this price? If you are looking for a cheaper modular dual visor helmet, this is your ticket. Quality is actual not bad at all and I really feel great about this purchase!! Highly recommend, well worth the price.
South GA
Comment: This is a great helmet, love the sun shield. Shipping was super fast
Daytona Beach, FL
Comment: My husband and I had been looking for a modular helmet for a while. I told him that I was going to order this helmet from Jafrum. When we received the helmet, we were shocked at the quality of the helmet for the price. He was so impressed with the quality that he ordered one the following week! Great quality helmet for the price. Jafrum is a great place to shop!!!!!
Nashville, TN
Comment: I don't see how you can beat this helmet at any price. It is one of the most comfortable helmets I have ever used. The flip-down shade has virtually eliminated the need for me to wear sunglasses when I ride.
Rick G
Comment: Ordered a large for my son and it fit great. We weren't sure which size because he was between medium and large by measurement. Glad we went with the large. My son loves the look, very "cool". Almost makes up for having to ride behind his dad and not driving himself.
Motorcycle Mom
Orlando, fl
Comment: Great helmet for the price. Flip down sun shield plus regular flip up shield. Large seems to be a little snug, but I'm used to wearing an open face, so full face and modular may fit a little tighter.
James Bennett
Comment: Great helmet, love the features, can't beat it for the price.
Have only had it for a couple of months but so far it is extremely nice and I have had no complaints.
Tim G
Kirkland Wa.
Comment: This was my first helmet purchase and I really love it. It is well ventilated, and I love the sunvisor. Really comes in handy when you are riding later in the evening, you don't have to stop to take off your sunglasses as it gets darker out. Have recommended this helmets to all my riding friends.
Comment: Great product, great ordering experience, fast shipping (although it was able to be overnighted) I am highly satisfied
Wichita KS
Comment: Best helmet for the price I've found so far loving the sun shield for the afternoon ride home.
Comment: Been looking for one of these - also watching price. This one combines quality and price. Firm fit, will make a good cold weather helmet
Comment: I needed a full face helmet for a long trip and this worked great. Great value for the price!
Lewisville, TX
Comment: Half the price of the exact one I bought retail. The visor gets hung up sometimes but I'm sure it's just a glitch as I've bought other stuff here and it's first quality.
Bayville, NJ
Comment: I love this helmet. That's all I'm going to say.
Salt Lake City, UT
Comment: Great helmet, I recently rode from San Antonio,Tx to New York 1900 miles each way and had no problems with this helmet. The clear and sun Visors were great with no need to mess with clear or sun glasses. For the price it is well worth it. I can not comment on the force it can take from a fall or accident, thank God for that but overall I was very pleased with the helmet. Shipping was fast and was packaged very nice. I give it two thumbs up. You will be very pleased with this purchase.

San Antonio Texas
Comment: Fast shipping. Absolute great helmet for the price. Cheek pads were a bit tight (ok, I got a fat mug) but that's fixable. Comfortable, easy operation, no fuss and love the shaded inside visor. Highly recommended ! It's going to be a warm fall/winter/spring riding session this year.
Pocatello, Idaho
Comment: This is a great value for a helmet with all of these features. The clear and sun visors allow me to wear my regular glasses and go from day to night riding with the flip of the visor control. I ordered one size larger than normal, because I have had experience with this manufacturer before. Their sizes tend to run a bit smaller, and one size bigger gives me the fit I need. Very happy with this helmet.
Harley Steve
Comment: All the positive reviews here are spot on. Fantastic helmet for the price. Sunglass bit was a nice surprise. Highly highly recommended.
Comment: Great price, great gear.
Comment: 89 Series Helmet is a good modular helmet.
Robert Ramirez
Comment: great price, great shipping, love the helmet, that is all i can say, oh wait thanks jafrum, now that is all i have to say.
broken arrow okla
Comment: Purchased the helmet for colder and winter driving conditions. Keeps the neck warm and yet gives great visibility. The modular design doesnt impeed helmet stability even driving with it fliped up at operating speeds. The flip down sun shield is a great addition and its design is stable great for those shorter winter days when you have to drive into the sun.
Kent Smith
Comment: Helmet quality is good, actually great for the price! The flip up chin piece is great! The flip down sunvisor is a lifesaver! The double visor on this helmet worked great, can be operated with gloved hands. Glad that I purchased a modular helmet. Overall, this helmet is a great value for the money. Fast shipping from Jafrum, this is the first time purchasing from Jafrum. Would gladly purchase from them again. Another satisfied customer!
San Diego, California
Comment: Even after reading the positive reviews, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this helmet, especially compared to a name brand of much inferior quality. Agree with the rest.
Karen Boehler
Roswell, NM
Comment: Very nice at a great price. As usual excellent quality from Jafrum and super quick shipping. I usually wear a medium helmet (22 1/8) but this fit too tight along the jaw and I had to go to a large. No ones fault, it's just the way this type helmet fits my "full" face!
Comment: If you are a daily rider, in any weather, this helmet is great. First, you can put this helmet on with your glasses on, thanks to the full face flip up design. Oh, you forgot your prescription sunglasses? Don't need them with the flip down sun shade built into the helmet. Excellent fit and it's from Jafrum, so you KNOW that it is an excellent value. Bought my girlfriend one for her birthday after see saw mine.

Morristown, TN
Comment: Good looking helmet with a very nice visor system. My only issue is the interior has been cheapened a bit. I bought the HCI 5 years ago and it had a much better interior. The area around the ears has NO padding or insulation at all. Bare helmet. No wonder it was so noisy. I emailed Jafrum and they said all the helmets were like that. And yes it has a DOT sticker on it.
Renton, WA.
Comment: Bought this for winter or cold rides. Helmet fits great! Keeps you warm. The sun shield and flip up visor are a great feature. Great deal for the price!
Jim Botko
Smithfield, Va.
Comment: All around a great helmet. Only one concern, I've been wearing size large helmets for 15 years but this one is slightly too tight. It's usable but I have to squeeze the cheeks in to lock the jaw closed.
Jeff Merrill
South Bend, In.
Comment: Can't beat it for the price. Love Love Love the internal sunglasses visor. Nobody can believe how cheap it was for the product.
Comment: Nice helmet for such low price. Fast shipping, order came in two days!!
Murray, KY
Comment: Great Helmet ,Great Deal , Thanks!
Comment: I am pleased with the recent purchase, can remove the helmet without taking off my glasses. Fits well, a little noiser than other helmets but not bad.
Jim B.
Comment: As always great deal and products. How can you go wrong. Alot of extras features (Sun shield,lift face guard). Perfect cool weather helmet.
Comment: Great helmet, great price and delivery from Jafrum. I bought this for the cold days, and it keeps my face warm and visibility is fine. I think my riding days just increased.
Comment: Exceeded my expectations. Well made, good fit, and I am very pleased. This helmet will extend my riding season. I highly recommend this helmet.
Comment: Good helmet but I wish it had a chin strap. Very drafty in the winter. Had to order a helmet skirt to stop the draft. Comfortable and has adequate space for earphone speakers.
Comment: Received helmet very quickly, and to my surprise it's a decent helmet. Ordered a 2xl due to my 24'' mesurement.The fit is good with my glasses, and the sun visor is not a problem either. Great helmet for the price. Can't wait for the warmer weather.
F. Young
North East, Pa.
Comment: Good quality, good value on the helmet. No regrets buying this at the price I paid. Wish it was a little quieter at high speeds. Shipping took longer than I would have liked, but may be I was too anxious.
Comment: Overall a good helmet. Sizing chart was accurate and my XXL fit nicely. The only complaint I have (and it may be due to my huge noggin) is that my chin brushes the chin guard of the helmet (just barely). Has DOT sticker and DOT patch sewn on interior (wore it to MSF course w/o a problem). Probably not the best helmet, but probably the best deal on a helmet. Also, shipping was fast.
Lake Charles LA
Comment: My first modular and I love it!! Fit is very comfortable! The inner sunscreen is wonderful!! Rode into the rising sun and could see perfectly! It does have a tendency to fog very slightly in the cool weather. Solved that by cracking the outer clear shield quarter of an inch. Highly recommend this helmet to anyone looking for a quality helmet for a great price! Thank you Jafrum!! Oh yeah, super fast shipping!!
Vernon, Texas
Comment: If you like modulars, then you can't go wrong with this helmet. This is my 3rd different style of HCI and they are always good quality. As always the shipping with Jafrum is super fast.
Comment: Best helmet for the money. Good fit, works well, and serves the purpose it was made for. This helmet is just as good as the high dollar ones. ( just wish it came in more colors )
Sherman, TX.
Comment: Currently using a full face so, when I use this 89 Modular with the chin raised, It feels a little loose fitting. The features are fantastic, the shipping speed unbelieveable and the price is just right!
Washington, DC
Comment: Great Helmets & priced right!
Omaha, NE
Comment: I love my modular that I bought from Jafrum. It may be cheap but the quality in my opinion is great. I looked for months at many different sites and local stores for such a helmet and everywhere I looked wanted at least twice what I paid for my modular on this site. I got a modular and graphic half helmet for less than I would have paid elsewhere. Service was great, price was great, and I got them faster than Jafrum quoted. All around great experience.
Daniel Taylor
Comment: Sweet helmet shipping was fast and love the built in shades. not too heavy like some I tried. Easy to put on since it is a modular and the front opens up to allow an easy slip over the ears. Not as loud as I was told it might be, I even talked on phone with earpiece and remote mic with helmet on. Over all a good helmet, fit is true to size so don't order big aand expect a tight fit ...
Morton Illinois
Comment: THEY ARE GREAT! I ORDER FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT CAME THE SAME THING I ORDER WAS PERFECT AND FAST DELIVERY. I WILL BE DOING BUSINESS WITH JAFRUM AGAIN AND AGAIN AND GOOD PRICES .. IT WORKS!
Comment: Love the helmet comfy lightweight love the built in sun glasses.
Stanford ky
Comment: Great price. love the shade. just that alone is the deal.
Comment: I ordered this as an exact replacement for one that I was wearing in a fairly high speed crash. My old one was badly scraped up and had a small crack in it, but protected me well. When it was time to re-order I had no second thoughts about getting the same one that prevented me from sustaining any serious head injury.
Comment: I ride a Harley so this is actually the first full face helmet I've owned. Wasn't sure if I would like them or not. Pleasantly suprised for sure. I don't wear it full time but I wear it while riding on military installations. It's not loud at all. Stays cool enough. Has good air flow. Is not heavy. I would recommend this helmet to anyone. There is nothing that I dislike about this helmet.
Comment: Im a fan of Modular Helmets. Ive always stuck with one brand and was happy with them for quite awhile, but the last two helmets the chin bar hinge screws came out. Fixing them produced a Squeaky Helmet. Im getting ready to do 2,500 miles over two weeks, I cannot do that with a squeaky helmet. So, money being a little tight, I pulled the trigger on this helmet. Shipping was VERY fast (but you come to expect that from Jafrum) but I was really nervous about the helmet.
Got it, opened it, and I was really surprised that the construction seems solid.. fit very well (2X here) and the inside visor comes down farther than the other brands (which is good). Took a ride, and the ventalation is great.. nice and quiet.. no rattles, no squeaks..
Overall, I am very, VERY impressed with the helmet for the price. It is Very Lightweight.. The padding on the inside could be a Little thicker, but hey man... its a $90 helmet, and worth every penny in my opinion. I was thinking to just get this, ride the 2500 mile trip, then get another "name brand" helmet, but I just may stick with this one.
Pleasantly surprised..
Belleville, IL
Comment: I and my friends like it also.

Comment: Comparable to higher priced helmets. Very Happy
Comment: Excellent service, product, and prompt delivery.
Comment: I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE HCI HELEMT 89 SERIES, MAIL IT BACK TO JAFRUM AND THEY MAILED ME A NEW ONE, EXCELLENT, THEY ARE EXCELLENT! I AM HAPPY!
Anthony Albanese
Comment: The helmet is awesome especially the flip down sun visor, and the price was just right.

The Rez Nebraska
Comment: The helmet fits well even though my head is on the large side. Could use a little more room for my jaw but then again... large head. Other than that comfortable and the sun shield comes in rather handy. The ventilation could be better but for the price I wont complain aout it. When it comes down to it I would purchase again.
Comment: Excellent helmet especially for the money. I have looked around and have researched helmets so this was my best option for the amount of money I had to spend.
Reno, NV
Comment: This is not a 3,4 or $500.00 helmet but for the price it is a good value. The flip up clasp is positive and secure. The helmit is relatively comfortable although the cheek pads are thin and fairly low quality, again this is not an Aria, Shoei or Scheberth.
Dealinig with Jafrum was a pleasure and I would certainly do it again and highly reccomend them to anyone.
Comment: Great product for a great price.
Comment: This helmet is a great price for the options/quality you get. I'm not used to the full face helmet, so it's taking a bit to get rid of the stifled feeling....not the helmet's fault. Very easy to put on, very easy to flip the sun visor, and great looking once on!
Pleasant View, Utah
Comment: Runs Small. Good features though and great value.

Comment: Great product at a great price!!!
Comment: Road about 600 miles with this helmet mostly in the rain. I worked great with no leaks and very little fogging. I especially liked the internal sun visor as the conditions changed from rain to sun to rain. It was easy to operate from outside the helmet with gloves. The cloth cover is also great for those times when the helmet is hanging on my helmet hook. My wife has a similar and much more expensive helmet that leaked in the rain and fogged up even with the vents open.

Comment: Great place to deal with helmet great for the price they were fast on the shipping and understanding folks will be buying from them again.

Comment: Never wore a full face helmet before so I was worried about vision and heat. After riding with helmet my worries were gone. Viz ability is excellent and plenty of ventilation to stay cool even on the hottest days. The top vents do make noise when open but you won't need them. Would recommend.

Comment: Been wanting a modular helmet for a while and finally got this one...I LOVE IT! Being a glasses wearer it's been hard to find sunglasses and clip ons are a pain...the flip down sun visor is AWESOME! Also, cool weather at times aggravates my eyes and makes them water...this is not a problem anymore. Not sure it's a good helmet for hot weather, but cool weather it is great!

Comment: For the money you can't beat it. Flip down sun visor is a great plus. Shipping was super fast. I couldn't believe I got here so quickly.
Central Illinois
Comment: My head measures 23.5 inches but is long & narrow. So, I ordered a 2XL size, and got an excellent fit. The helmet seems like a quality product. Delivery was very quick - 2 days ahead of schedule. I couldn't be happier. The next time I need motorcycle accessories, I will look to Jafrum.com.

Comment: The helmet is a little flimsy, but for the price it has served it's purpose well. I would recommend it to to anyone that might be a casual rider or for use as a spare helmet.

Comment: About a year before I bought this helmet I was looking for a solution to my sun in the eyes problem. Because I wear glasses I was using clip-ons to solve the problem. I had a thought that a helmet with dual visors would be a great idea. I didn't know they existed until I found them at Jafrum. I've been very happy with my HCI double visor modular helmet. The only thing I'm missing is a snap on the chin strap to keep it out of the way.
Comment: Wonderful product. Fits snug & is very convenient with the modular fliip up front and flip down shade. Great if you wear glasses. What a great deal it is !!! Bought two.

Comment: I like the modular design and the flip down sunglass shade. The XXL fits my fat pumpkin better than other companies XXXL
Comment: My wife and I each recieved a new helmet. These are a great value. We looked at some similar at the dealership that were priced at over $400. I realize that there has to be a difference in quality, but these are so comfortable. The sunshade mades keeping up with sunglasses a thing that I used to do!
Comment: This helmet is obviously cheap. The drop down sun shield is not optical quality and has deformations that can be seen, but it does work. The helmet is VERY loud, wind noise and "creaks" inside the helmet will have you thinking there is something wrong with your bike. A good fairing or windscreen makes this helmet useable, otherwise way too loud.
Comment: Great service, communication, product and price! It's a concept a lot of other retailers could learn that would help their business.
Philadelphia, Pa.
Comment: THIS IS MY SECOND HELMET I ORDERED (FIRST WAS DESTROYED IN SUPERSTORM SANDY) SO IT WAS A NO-BRAINER TO ORDER THE SAME ONE!!! LOVE THE SUNSHIELD!!! I RECIEVED IT IN 2 DAYS!!! GREAT JOB JAFRUM!!!
Comment: Nice looking helmet that appears to be sturdy and well constructed, with a built in sun visor. The only concern I have is the sizing is a little tight. I have found that if you think you need an XL maybe should order a 2XL.
Winnipeg,MB, Can
Comment: I decided on this helmet for a number of reasons & to a great extent because of positive reviews by other buyers and price. I have a Skid Lid 1/2 helmet also purchased from Jafrum, but I wanted a full-face or modular for highway riding. We have bugs here in Texas & my Dyna doesn't have nor will it have a windshield. Also, I have to wear glasses or prescription sunglasses so a modular seemed better for me as I understand wearing glasses under a full-face can be problematic. The dual visor feature is very appealing to me. I can ride with my glasses on using the inner smoked visor & just have to flip the inner visor up if it gets dark before I get home. The helmet fits pretty well & the modular jaw piece, inner & outer visors all seem to work pretty well. I think this helmet is a good value & I would recommend it to anyone considering a modular.

Comment: This helmet truly delivers! Size is dead on - use the chart. I am a 7 1/4" with a bit of pointy head but it fits perfectly. Obviously it feels a little more plasticky than the $200+ helmets, but still feels very sturdy. the built-in James Bond swoosh sun glasses are hit with my kids! Very nicely trimmed with comfort strips and the nape of the neck and felt lining on the chin bib. My only complaint is the top air vents whistle when open, especially at speeds above 30mph. They do channel air nicely over your head andout the exhaust vents in the back, only more so in the crouched position as on a sport bike. Not so much on a cruiser unless you tuck your chin down.
Killeen, TX
Comment: Great helmet... great price.. fast shipping
Comment: This is a good helmet for the price. I don't normally wear a modular helmet but bought this for cold weather riding up here in Canada and think it will work well. Only negative the flip down visor does not work real smooth but does work what can you expect for $89 buck
Minnedosa Canada
Comment: The mod helmet I bought is awesome. Its an xlarge. A little snug but love the double shield. price was awesome.
Elk River,Mn
Comment: This is the best helmet I've had in over 35 years. Everything about this purchase is positive; price, prompt delivery,& quality. The day I got this helmet I rode 300 miles, from cold & wet to sunny and warm, and enjoyed every mile. The controls for the modular portion, drop down sun shade and shield movement are easy to use. Light as a feather. Great piece!
Comment: Moved up a size due to reviews saying that this helmet tends to run a little small. I'm glad I did. It still fits quite tight along the chin, but I hope it will loosen some with wear. The helmet seems a little heavy, but I'm not used to wearing a full face helmet. The retractable, tinted visor is great. Recommend for someone wanting an inexpensive modular helmet.
Comment: Very pleased with this helmet. Fit and finish are great. Ventilation is very good, even in Texas heat. Putting it on while wearing eyeglasses is not a problem, making it possible for eyeglass users to have the benefit of full face protection.
Overall great value for the price,
North Texas
Comment: Great helmet! Would highly recommend.
Comment: This helmet is the most comfortable I have owned. It is light weight and the price was unbeatable. I read the reviews before I purchased and some said that the shaded visor was hard to work and others had no problem. My visor does not work with the slider on the outside of the helmet. I just move it manually inside the helmet. It is ok. The helmet is very good otherwise.
Marquette, MI
Comment: What a deal for the price!!! This helmet fits great and is comfortable and is good quality. The matt black paint looks very nice and the inner shield is great. HCI just makes great helmets for the price and Jafrum has the best price for this helmet. Shipping was free and quick. Harley sells a similar helmet but you have to shell out a lot more to have a HD logo on it and it is OK to wear this black helmet on a Harley!! Especially in cold weather!!

Comment: I love the helmet the price is about 60 cheaper than i have found. I love the way it fits and all the features..
Comment: Great helmet at a good price. My first modular - Sizing (for my head compared to other helmet manufacturers) runs a little big -I had to return my first order ( with no problems at all- thanks Jafrum) and get the next smaller size . I love the sunshield . The padding is a little hard and the helmet is not the quietes- but overall I am happy with my purchase.
Comment: I ordered this modular helmet on a Friday and it arrived the next Wednesday morning, just 3 business days! When it arrived, the "inner" visor was not attached on the left side, but I was easily able to attach it correctly.
Unfortunately, when I tried it on and tested the fit, it was just too large for me. I had ordered a size large, which is what my other brand helmet is, but I'm returning it for a size Medium.
Overall though, it seems and looks really good in the "flat-black" that I ordered.And, you can't beat the price!

Comment: Thank you Jafrum! I received my "replacement" helmet in the correct size and it is truly a very nice helmet. As you've read from my 1st review, the helmet that I had ordered was of the incorrect size, (my mistake), and I returned it for a different size. When the correct sized helmet arrived, it fir great! Very comfortable, quiet on the road, and both visors are distortion-free! I also purchased several ECHO Quick-Release Buckles and like them very much. I'm installing an ECHO on each of my helmets.
Once again, thank you for the great products and very great service!
Comment: "LOVE" This Helmet. Have Bought Several Modular Helmets Over The Years And Time To Replace Old One . Saw This One And Liked The Idea Of Having Built In Sunglasses. LOVE This Helmet. When Fully Closed It Fits A Little Snug In The Chin Area But As I Break It in It Is Fitting More Like A Custom Fit Helmet Instead Of Just Another One Off The Shelf. During Slower Speeds I Usually Like To Have The Front Open To Catch More Of The Breeze. With Interior Dark Visor I No Longer Have To Have A Pair Of Sunglasses As Well As My Regular Glasses.
Mark Adcock
Comment: ordered helmet on sunday recieved it on wednesday. awesome service. helment was just as described. size chart is dead on fit is perfect. I wear prescription glasses & have bought fitovers & goggles. waste of money. this helmet is the only way to go.

Comment: Ordered this helmet and got it good time even before Christmas. Love the fit of the helmet and it is easy to fit with a motorcycle intercom. Price was great too !

Comment: Just can't go wrong at this price for a modular helmet. My seven year son who rides with me has been asking for a modular. The kids got four DOT helmets already but no modular. Damn we spoil these kids. But wasn't going to spend $200 for one. I'm was actually surprised by the decent quality of this thing. Pleased with the purchase and whole experience with Jafrum. And the boy is very happy. What more can you ask for
Joe P
Nesconset, NY
Comment: I bought this helmet a couple years ago and it was great. A friend came to visit and his visor on his helmet was so scratched up he couldn't see through it, so I gave him my helmet. Seeing that I was out of a helmet I couldn't think of any other to buy that fit great and was not expensive, so I bought another one just like it. You can't go wrong with this helmet!
Bill B.
Comment: Absolutely the best full face helmet I've had in over 50 years of riding. The sizing chart is right on the money, so for those who says to up-size, I totally disagree. The quality is FAR better than I expected, and the inner visor eliminates the need to carry sun glasses. It also fits perfectly in front of my regular glasses. A lot of thought went into manufacturing this helmet. Tremendous value at any price, let alone the excellent price offered by Jafrum. Shipping was free and extremely fast. I couldn't be happier, with the product and the company. Will definitely buy from Jafrum again.

Comment: I like this helmet very much. If your size is on the top end of a size measurement then go to the next size. They run a little small. Again I like the helmet and the doulbe visor is great.
Benjamin E Jordan
Doyline, LA
Comment: I own another full face helmet, but I enjoy this one even more because of the flip up front to get drinks or removal of helmet. will definitely get another modular helmet
brad l.
Comment: Usually ride her in S. Florida with a half helmet, but wanted a full for occasional highway trips. This one works well here, as the option of opening the shield(s) and/or the full face while in motion is great. I took out the cheek pads though, as it was too confining for me otherwise...but it still fits pretty snug. Only dislike is the pull on the helmet when I turn my head at speed, but I assume that is the same for all full helments.
Thom Hands
Boca Raton, FL
Comment: The helmet is of good quality and is easy to put on and take off. I love the dual shield/sunvisor combo. Have two concerns: the interior padding is NOT removable for cleaning so order some helmet spray cleaner....the "D" chin strap is a pain so order a quick closer...I did and it works fine. I will order another clear shield for eventual replacement. Delivery was incredibly fast, but then it always is when ordering from Jafrum.

|Sticky Tag:
Merge changes from sparc-tramp-assem-2010-07-19. This moves closure_tramp and undefined_tramp from the C side to the Lisp side via Lisp assembly routines. (Simplifies things quite a bit for sparc.) Also includes some GC fixes for sparc and ppc to handle moving the pc, npc, lr, and ctr registers. They need to be handled like the lip register. See bootfiles/20a/boot-2010-07-1-cross.lisp for instructions on how to bootstrap this change. A basic cross-compile with a specific cross bootstrap file is needed.
lisp/sparc-assem.S: o #ifdef out closure_tramp and undefined_tramp; they're Lisp assembly functions now. lisp/gencgc.c: o Update code for sparc which doesn't have closure_tramp and undefined_tramp anymore.
Add support for catching heap overflows, similar to the control stack overflow checking. Enable with :heap-overflow-check. We reserve some number of pages on the heap. When the heap reaches the reserved pages, an overflow warning is signalled. The reserved pages are set 0. This allows some additional allocation to happen during debugging, if necessary. If another overflow happens, we throw to top-level. Sparc only right now. * lisp/sparc-assem.S (_do_dynamic_space_overflow_error): New function to handle a heap overflow error. (_do_dynamic_space_overflow_warning): New function to handle heap overflow warning. * lisp/sparc-arch.c (sigill_handler): Handle the two new traps caused by heap overflows. * lisp/interrupt.c (interrupt_handle_space_overflow): New function to handle interrupt caused by heap space overflows. * lisp/gencgc.c (handle_heap_overflow): New function to handle heap overflows. (gc_alloc_new_region): Use handle_heap_overflow. (gc_alloc_large): Use handle_heap_overflow * compiler/sparc/parms.lisp (static-symbols): Add new static symbols for heap overflow checking: dynamic-space-overflow-error-hit and dynamic-space-overflow-warning-hit. * compiler/generic/new-genesis.lisp (finish-symbols): Initialize the new dynamic-space-overflow-error-hit and dynamic-space-overflow-warning-hit static symbols. * code/lispinit.lisp (:heap-overflow-check): Add heap-overflow-check to *runtime-features*, if necessary. ("reserved_heap_pages"): Access to alien variable for heap overflow. (*reserved-heap-pages*): Default number of heap pages to reserve for heap overflow. (%top-level): Set reserved-heap-pages to the default. * code/interr.lisp (dynamic-space-overflow-warning-hit): Add function to handle heap overflow warnings. (dynamic-space-overflow-error-hit): Add function to handle heap overflow error. * code/error.lisp (heap-overflow): Add new condition type for heap overflow
The pseudo-atomic flag was set/reset using add/sub. Replace this with or/andn, so we don't inadvertently reset pseudo-atomic by adding the flag, thinking we're setting it. (Granted, this probably means we were already doing something wrong, but this will make it a bit more robust.)
It's lowtag_Mask, not lowtagMask.
Use the new constants lowtagMask, pseudo_atomic_Value, and pseudo_atomic_InterruptedValue instead of the bare 7's, 4's, and 3's and 1's in the code.
Merge with HEAD.
Merge sparc_gencgc_branch that adds support for gencgc for Solaris.
gencgc.c: o More code cleanups, getting rid of GC_DEBUG o Make fpu_state variable large enough to hold all 32 double-float regs for Sparc V9. o Get rid of unneeded debugging printfs o Rename update_x86_dynamic_space_free_pointer to update_dynamic_space_free_pointer since it's not x86 specific anymore. o Get rid of the need_to_pop_stack stuff. It's not needed. o Don't compile sniff_code_object and apply_code_fixups for non-x86. save.c: o Rename update_x86_dynamic_space_free_pointer to update_dynamic_space_free_pointer since it's not x86 specific anymore. o Cleanup calls to gc_alloc_update_page_tables. sparc-arch.c: o Get rid of the need_to_pop_stack stuff. It's not needed. o Comment out pop_fake_control_stack_frame. sparc-assem.S o Save the extra 16 double-float regs, if FEATURE_SPARC_V9.
o Remove the unused collect_garbage function. o Add fpu_save and fpu_restore functions.
Initial port of gencgc to Solaris.
Add some #defines and macros to make it easier to create (and understand!) SC_OFFSETs in assembly files.
Was not properly handling undefined foreign symbols: o Need to restore all global (%g) Lisp registers because they may have been trashed by the C code. o The unimp trap_Error was wrong. Get the right number of arg bytes and the right SC_OFFSET!
o Port over Tim Moore's cool foreign linkage table stuff to sparc. o Make new-genesis save target-foreign-linkage-table-size to internals.h.
In the v8plus abi, we need to save the %o registers before calling into C because the %o registers become %i and a task switch only saves the 64-bit %o registers.
Added export of internal error code constants to internals.h, so that platform assembler code can use those, instead of magic numbers and bogus conditionalization on type_Long_Float. Inspired/Stolen from SBCL. Also added some more comments in places, and a generic SC_OFFSET macro that matches lisp/debug-info.lisp.
Mega commit to bring RELENG_18 branch in sync with HEAD in preparation for release tagging 18d.
Use trap_PseudoAtomic instead of the hardwired 16.
From Raymond Toy: o Add support for 64-bit integer parameters and function results.
From Raymond Toy: o Don't use taddcctv/tsubcctv for the pseudo-atomic stuff.
Can't use reg_L1 anymore because it doesn't exist. From Raymond Toy.
Can't use reg_L1 anymore because it doesn't exist. From Raymond Toy.
This (huge) revision brings the RELENG_18 branch up to the current HEAD. Note code/unix-glib2.lisp not yet included -- not sure it is ready to go.
Long-float support.
Calculate the error code for the undefined_tramp using the sc_DescriptorReg define; the error code had been using a fixed SC offset which becomes invalid when the SCs are modified, for example when adding the complex-float SCs.
Patch to flush_icache by Casper Dik.
Solaris patches.
Solaris patches.
Changed FUNCTION_HEADER_CODE_OFFSET to FUNCTION_CODE_OFFSET.
Fixed a bug introduced into __sigtramp where it used some random bit to decide whether or not to save the fp regs.
Finally got restore_state to actually work.
Need to also save the return address (%i7).
Oops, save_state needs to copy the second argument into the new register window to pass it on through.

Fast-Tracked Disability Process Now Includes 200 Conditions
(60 second audio script)
Social Security is helping people with severe disabilities get benefits quicker through the "Compassionate Allowances" initiative. There are now 200 disabling conditions that qualify for Social Security's expedited disability process. Since October 2008, nearly two hundred thousand people with severe disabilities nationwide have been quickly approved within days instead of months and years, using this expedited process. Compassionate allowances are a way of quickly identifying diseases and other medical conditions that clearly qualify for allowances based on objective medical information that we can obtain quickly.

Austin >Food & Dining >
Bakeries >Phoenicia Bakery & Deli
4701A Burnet Rd, Austin, TX | Directions 7875630.317787 -97.739447
Neighborhoods: Brentwood - Highland, Brentwood
Phoenicia bakery is magical for a lot of reasons -- the $3.99 gyro being a large reason -- as well as the fact that it's a proper grocer for Mediterranean and Middle Easter foods, like olives, pita, baklava...you get the idea. Try the heavenly lahme bi-agin ("meat bread") for lunch someday: It's ground beef, tomatoes, and onions baked right on top of pita bread, kind of like a fatter, unrolled crepe.
not too shabby – I came in to try their shwarma but was pleased to see a huge display of sweet goodies and aisles of ethnic groceries. the food is not too bad, but also nothing special. the grocery store is great. they seem to have a large variety of foods and the staff seems helpful too.
Parking is quite a pain at the burnet location however.
One of the best things about Austin – I lived about 2 blocks from the South Lamar location, and I miss this place on a weekly, sometimes daily basis. The falafel is great, the schwarma is craving inducing, and stopped eating loaf bread with their pita in such close supply! Plus they sell Mars Bars(my fav!), confections, spices, olives, everything. It's all so good and at unbelievably good prices! I miss this place.
No longer anything special in my opinion – When I first started going to Phoenicia I felt they would warm to me as I shopped there regularly - That did not happen. The cashier seemed to take exception to your asking items be place into more than 1 bag! The deli will give you the dry end of the mortedella if you dont watch them. Add to that the parking lot where you must be agressive to get a spot and wait for self centered customers who move at their own pace - it has lost its apeal to me. Like many others I now go to Sarah's Mediterranean where they are friendly and take quality seriously. I feel like a vauled customer there!
expired food, rude vendors – Phoenicia has the rudest salesperson in town (he is probably the owner at the same time!) I went there a few times to buy groceries and saw that some of the stuff they have had expired. I told them to the guy at the cashier, he did not believe in me, treated me as if i am lying. Since Sarah's Market opened recently, I never went back to Phoenicia. they have much more variety at Sarah's, store is cleaner and sales people are much more fiendly!
This Middle Eastern deli is known for its native specialties, pastries and sandwiches. – In Short
Phoenicia is dominated by its grocery section, with large bakery cases and a takeout counter at opposite ends of the store. Hard-to-find Middle Eastern groceries, like pomegranate syrup for making Persian stew fesenjan, are just a fraction of Phoenicia's selections. Abundant bakery choices include homemade Persian candies and pastries and treats including chocolate-chunk peanut butter cookies and moist apricot strudel. Fresh breads include The lunch crowd goes for savory dolmas, gyro sandwiches and falafel.
Everything you need for Greek Cooking – Phoenecia has everything you need for middle eastern or greek cooking. While Austin has plenty of options for mexican fare, there aren't many other ethnic grocers in town. Phonecia fills a great need, and their prices are great considering the specialty items they carry. They also have very good pastries and premade items, and their olive bar is beyond amazing. I can re-create an authentic greek meal in the middle of Texas - fantastic!
Great Muffalata – This store is exactly what is needed in the culinarily bankrupt city. Full of hard-to find goods and great sandwiches and bakery items, Phoenicia may very well become one of my regular haunts.
Best mediterranean food in town – I've tried the shawarma, hummos, tabouli, and their fresh baked pita, all of which was some of the best I've had anywhere. Don't expect anything in the way of service, this is a bakery / grocery store first, deli second. There isn't much space, either. Despite these minor inconveniences, I highly recommend it here. (Austin - South Location)
Very expenisve – Those people are taking advantage of not having a compitition and raise the prices. The items are over priced compared to the stores in Houston and Dallas. I hope we see another store here in Austin so those people stop being greedy.

Periodically, cries of "Nevermore!" reverberate through The Raven Lounge, which continually reaches out to local celebs such as NBC 10's John Clark to deliver in-house readings of the classic Poe poem. They are among many famous faces that fill the club, where six area DJs spin the latest jams every week, bands frequently blast out their tunes, and comedians H. Foley and Chris Cotton host open mic comedy every Thursday.
Neon lettering scrawled on the ceilings helps illuminate the two-floor lounge, where projectors and flat-screens showcase sports and, as reported on BBC Two, members of the rock, papers, scissors league compete for a spot in the world championship in Las Vegas. To complement optional bottle service from the fully stocked bar, The Raven Lounge's menu of bar classics includes chicken and vegetable dumplings or hot dogs from a late night menu that starts at 2 a.m.
First opened in 1968, the Electric Factory has been hosting rock shows for almost as long Puerto Rico has been a state. After dancing their faces off to headliners from Erykah Badu to the Dropkick Murphys, concertgoers can stop by The Chive Café to recharge with a cheesesteak or an all-beef hotdog on a potato bun, or refill their draft Yuengling at the bar. In summer, the Electric Factory reveals an outdoor location complete with more refreshment booths, vendors, and upgraded food stands.
The Mann Center is a prepossessing structure from anywhere you sit in the semi-covered amphitheater—all huge, rough slabs of timber that evoke the setting for a barn dance held by elegant giants. Even the lawn section isn't an ordinary lawn: from the top of the steep hill where the theater perches, audiences can see not only the performers lighting up the stage below but also the canopy of trees in surrounding Fairmount Park and the city skyline just beyond.
Father-and-son team Ken and Terry Sweeney founded Sweeney's in 1985 to fortify sports fans and unaffiliated revelers with family hospitality and hearty pub eats. Like visiting foreign dignitaries, wings arrive smothered in one of eight zesty sauces and sampler platters designed for digital delectation bear chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, jalapeño poppers, pizza fingers, and onion rings. Eight Philly-steak sandwiches sport tender slices of beef and chicken alongside oven-warmed jewels such as a roast-chicken grinder stacked with bacon and swiss cheese on crisp garlic toast. A pair of house-made broiled crab cakes steps out on dinner platters with potatoes draped in parsley and the vegetable of the day carved to comment on that day's newspaper headlines.
Popular globetrotting pop collective Architecture in Helsinki transforms Union Transfer into a throbbing, futuristic discotheque as its latest tour storms American shores. Formed in Melbourne, the ambidextrous dance band stirs fans with a tornado of flamboyant sounds, infectious anthems, and commitment-free instrument swapping, executing hits such as "Do the Whirlwind" and latest single "W.O.W." from the recently released Moment Bends. During the kaleidoscopic performance, the group seduces dance floors with 10-foot hooks and sounds culled from hypnotic synths, romantic glockenspiels, and strummed chest hairs. Filling out the bill, Swedish dance wizards Lo-Fi-Fnk enchant with instant club hits and songs for strobe-light campfires, and pop enthusiasts Dom charm with stargazing Casios. Following the show, Union Transfer invites Groupon holders backstage to meet the band, discuss musical influences, and take notes on how to hit the elusive high Z note.
Enchantment Theatre Company exists to create original theater for young audiences and families. We accomplish this through the imaginative telling of stories that inspire, challenge and enrich our audiences, on stage and in the classroom. In doing so, we engage the imagination and spirit of our audience.

Hagel to take charge at Defense
WASHINGTON (AP) — Chuck Hagel takes charge at the Defense Department with deep budget cuts looming and Republican opponents still doubtful that he's up to the job.
Hagel is expected to be sworn in today and is likely to address the staff in his first day as defense secretary. The bitter, seven-week fight over his nomination ended Tuesday as a deeply divided Senate voted 58-41 to confirm him. Just four Republicans joined Democrats in backing the former two-term Republican senator from Nebraska and twice-wounded Vietnam combat veteran.
"I am honored that President Obama and the Senate have entrusted me to serve our nation once again," Hagel said in a statement. "I can think of no greater privilege than leading the brave, dedicated men and women of the Department of Defense as they perform vital missions around the globe."
Hagel promised to work closely with Congress, but he faces lingering reservations about his ability to handle the responsibilities. Shortly after the vote, Sen. Lindsey Graham said he still has serious questions about Hagel and his qualifications.
"I hope, for the sake of our own national security, he exceeds expectations," said the South Carolina Republican.
The top Republican on the Armed Services Committee, Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, said Hagel's record on Israel, Iran, defense spending and nuclear weapons "demonstrate, in my view, a profound and troubling lack of judgment on many of the critical issues he will now be confronted with as secretary of defense."
But Inhofe promised to work with Hagel to avoid the $46 billion in automatic, across-the-board budget cuts that hit the Pentagon on Friday.
Obama alluded to the need for cooperation in his statement welcoming the vote.
The president said he was grateful to Hagel "for reminding us that when it comes to our national defense, we are not Democrats or Republicans, we are Americans, and our greatest responsibility is the security of the American people."
Hagel joins Obama's retooled national security team, including Secretary of State John Kerry and CIA Director-designate John Brennan, at a time of uncertainty for a military emerging from two wars and fighting worldwide terrorism with smaller, deficit-driven budgets.
Among his daunting challenges are dealing with the budget cuts and deciding on troop levels in Afghanistan as the United States winds down its combat presence. He also will have to work with lawmakers who spent weeks vilifying him.

He does sound like a whiny kid! He signed up and than continued. He'll NEVER make it to the big leagues as far as a player!
A.J. Barker, a junior walk-on who had become the University of Minnesota's leading wide receiver, announced that he is quitting the Gophers on Twitter — and took several shots at head coach Jerry Kill on the way out:
Well, its official. I am done playing football for the University of Minnesota and I will be looking to transfer next season for my final yr—
AJ Barker (@A_Barker_82) November 18, 2012
For anyone who wants to read the exact letter I sent Jerry Kill, hear why, check out my blog post on my new tumblr: AJBarker82—
AJ Barker (@A_Barker_82) November 18, 2012
It's over.
Thank you for that last bit of motivation I needed to put myself over the top. Thank you for showing me your true colors; that you will stop at nothing to prove you have control over me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play on your team. Thank you for "loving" me. Thank you for proving that with hard work and persistence people can go very far, even if they are less qualified/talented than their competition. Thank you for not giving me a scholarship. Thank you for providing me with an additional perspective of how to coach a college football team.
Now, in honor of my family and myself I'm done with you for good. In light of that pathetic, manipulative display of rage and love you put on this past Thursday, I have come to the decision, with the guidance of my parents and my closest friends, that my time on this team has come to an end. It kills me that I have to do this before the season's over, but this is the only way I can protect myself against the manipulation and abuse I'd have to endure from you the rest of this season.
Barker goes on at length to criticize Kill and Minnesota's role in not diagnosing what he claims an eventual MRI revealed to be a torn ATL and bone bruise above the heel.
Barker had 30 receptions and seven touchdowns before missing three games following an upper ankle injury suffered against Purdue on Oct. 27.
Kill had publicly held back on awarding Barker a scholarship until one came available.
He does sound like a whiny kid! He signed up and than continued. He'll NEVER make it to the big leagues as far as a player!
"Hey coach, you think we can talk about that scholarship again.. coach... coach.. awww crap, someone call the ambulence again.... geez everytime I ask."

Participate in the Sabbath to Stop Gun Violence
United Methodist Women shares your grief over the 20 children and 7 adults killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Our prayers are with families, friends and the community at large, because such carnage diminishes us all. In the wake of this tragedy, we embrace our church's efforts to support these families and all families faced with discussing these realities with their children.
United Methodist Women is a nurturing organization; our social justice history presses us to seek systemic change in the midst of this continuing violence. In addition to our prayers, United Methodist Women calls for action.
United Methodist Women joined Faiths United to Prevent Gun Violence in December 2010. This campaign scheduled a prayer vigil outside the White House on Friday evening, the day of the shootings. Read about the campaign's resolutions and find out more about this effort to educate Americans on how lives can be saved by strengthening gun violence prevention laws.
Participate in the Sabbath to Stop Gun Violence
On January 5 and 6, 2013, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, led by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is organizing a Sabbath to Stop Gun Violence [PDF], a "day for faith leaders to speak to their congregations about the toll of gun violence in our communities and the power of faith to heal and help recover from the pain of losing a loved one to gun violence."
United Methodist Women Work Against Gun Violence
In October 1995, the Women's Division (now United Methodist Women) adopted the proposed gun violence resolution for the 1996 General Conference of The United Methodist Church, Resolution 3426, "Gun Violence," in The Book of Resolutions of The United Methodist Church (2012). The resolution calls for support of federal legislation to regulate gun and ammunition imports, manufacturing, sale and possession by the general public, including registration and licensing of purchasers and owners and appropriate background checks and waiting periods.
United Methodist Women endorsed and participated in the Million Mom March on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in May 2000. In October 2001 the Million Mom March merged with the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
