What do you normally ride? Your bike: a poll
Posted 05 March 2009 - 02:22 PM
I was walking Sal home from the office yesterday ( I am in downtown LA part time) and as we were walking down Flower St. from her bank, I spied a Masi Pista in a bike rack....I went over for a peek (which ALWAYS kinda pisses Sal off!) and saw that it was a steel late 60's Masi track bike, maybe a 54, drilled in the front fork for a brake. All Campy Record Track gruppo, with a pair of Arc-n-Ciel 36 hole rims and some generic sew ups badly glued on. Had a Campy Record sidepull brake on the front. Steel Cinelli track stem and bars...the sprinter type....woah! Had the round pista fork blades and was an authentic Masi from under the Vigorelli in Milan.
Pretty cool that some shlameezel messenger dude had this ride! Locked with a Kryptonite type Ubolt monster....I shoulda waited and offered the owner some cash for it.

old school awesome.
and some generic sew ups badly glued on.
messy glue jobs are 'the' sign of genius! hopefully the rims were smeared with sticky fingerprints.
Had a Campy Record sidepull brake on the front.
sissy! ok...he rides in a metro area...he's forgiven his transgression.
Steel Cinelli track stem and bars...the sprinter type....woah!
I run track sprint bars (alloy), but I'ld kill for an old steel stem to drop into my hands.
Had the round pista fork blades and was an authentic Masi from under the Vigorelli in Milan.
vigo, huh? i hope you genuflected thrice and said a hail mary. you were in the presence of god!
old skool track, because that's how we roll!

Specialized Tarmac Pro- shown on top of Mnt over lake at sunrise (before the road opens) my favorite weekly ride (Usually no aerobars and tri saddle and post) If you ever in the area you can join me
The picture sounds nice, but doesn't show on my computer. When I posted my picture, I had to put it on Flicker first and link to it there. Please try again, I would really like to see it.

Not to go all CampyBob on y'all, but here goes:
Merlin road (I've had the frame since 1991, one of the first few thousand built - but had the bottom bracket and the downtube replaced over the years, as well as being buffed up and re-decaled and re-headbadged) full Dura-Ace with Kyseriums - I've put lots and lots and lots of K's on this thing, but I find that I'm not riding it as much as my
Louis Garneau full carbon thingy (same frame that Jittery Joes rode - but mine is an ex-Jet Fuel racing team bike with the oh-so-cool Jet Fuel logo on the top tube, clear-coated...) Dura-Ace with FSA cranks; TRP carbon brakes (totally about the aesthetics - trying to throw as much carbonated action at this bike as I can...seatpost, stem etc. only thing I'm not doing is the bars - have a thing for Deda Newton bars...) Fulcrum Racing Ones, etc... By the way - this bike is a semi-generic-popped-out-of-a-mold Taiwanese-built frame from the same factory that builds everybody else (Specialized, and yes, I believe, Cervelo, as well) and it is by far the best riding bike I've ever owned (go figure - no magic handbuilt steel fairy dust or anything....)
Blue T-12 TT bike with SRAM (just waiting for the bar-end shifters) and HED 90's for doing du's.
Surly Cross-Check single-speed 'cross bike (as I've said before, my favourite bike...) built up with stuff that's sitting around (including a totally over-spec'd 9spd DA crank - well used, but does the job). I built a fixed-gear rear wheel for this, too, as my early season training bike, as well as my all-round citizen's enduro bike (nothing like blasting by weekend warriors on their $5G full-suspension rigs on a beaten-up steel single speed with a 39 X 18 )
Also have a sweet fillet-brazed '80's Santana tandem that I bought off eBay for super-cheap (27" wheels[?] - easy to convert to 700's, but I guess people don't know that) built it up with mid-range Shimano parts. I also put crank shorteners on the back so my kid can ride with us (doesn't want to even learn how to ride a bike - hmmm, guessing that anything dad does is, by default, not cool....).
OK, sold the Merlin on eBay - just wasn't riding it - Zen thing, too: don't get too attached to material things, etc....
Just picked up an used SRM (whoo boy, gettin' serious....) from a Canuck pro - it's SRAM carbon so, of course, I had to change my drivetrain and shifters over to Force (Red was too much $). Bike looks pretty serious, (and light) but no new frame this year - money went into to the training device (which is the right thing to do, I guess...). Was really jonesing for a Scott carbon-teamy-red thing, until I found out that the wholesale price (I know the agent for Canada) wasn't really materially different from the retail price, and in both cases, was well, well, beyond any kind of rationalization (even selling my car would only pay for about 70% of it...). Even the frame would have meant selling off appliances (and we need a new stove) - I'll wait for more team cast-offs at the end of the season.
Still have the TT bike - no need to be changing/upgrading that for the 10 or 12 times a year I ride it.
The Surly is still rockin' - two weeks until the 15th edition of our local Paris-Roubaix homage enduro - fiddling a bit - 38X17 this year (hope it's not too muddy...): I even did an 8hr mountain bike race on it last summer (so not recommended, especially with no specific training and the wrong gearing - won a lot of hero points from other riders, but didn't make up for the pain.... Doesn't stop me from doing again this year, though - I'll bought a 20 tooth freewheel and fatter tires - try to beat some more of those pesky MTBer's....
Sold the Santana (kid thinks it's not cool anymore....) but I might have a line on a Bike Friday tandem that could be just the tick for the whole family.
Maybe I'll post a pic of the Garneau.....

Road - Trek OCLV vintage 2000.
Mountain - Klein Attitude Race hardtail
Cross - Kona Major Jake (I do a fair amount of Cross racing, somewhat respectably)
Track - Trek T1 bought used (I'm a real amatuer in the fixed gear world)
Commute - Felt SR-71 (basically a road bike with flat bars) - my favorite bike. Have commuted almost 7000 miles in last 3 years.
Around town - old, old Specialized Rock Hopper (completely rigid) that I've turned into a single speed with the help of a Surly Singulator.
Road - Specialized. Very basic model that I do not even care to mention. 1k Euro price tag from new but I love it. I ride it only 4 months per year and each time pretend I am Bugno ... and each time I am winning the TdF and beating Rolf Jaermann for Amstel goddammit !
Mountain - No mountains where I live ... but I have seen pictures of them
Cross - I run (Shoes: ASICS. Tried just about all other brands but will probably never change now.)
Track - Never in a million years ... but I like to whatch
Commute - Toyota Avensis (Yawn)
Around town - I walk

I now ride a Bianchi Via Nirone 7 (the Shimano 105 model with all the standard equipment). An "entry level" road bike to be sure, but it certainly looks good.
I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I bought it with a frame that just might be one size too large, as I could not find it in the proper celeste colour in any other size. So a shorter stem might be needed
Posted 12 April 2011 - 04:33 PM
Giant TCR Advanced 1. Mine differs from the picture slightly in that I have SRAM wheels instead of Mavics.

Beautiful looking bike! A Bianchi road bike in any other color but Celeste is not a Bianchi, IMHO. Almost bought one years ago as one of my first road bikes, but didn't care for the dealer selling them at the time.

Yes it is really too bad that you can't buy a new LeMond. Not sure what I'm going to do when it is time to replace mine.

Yes, there is a picture of it in Post #3 of this thread. Since I took the picture, I have put white HandleBra leather handlebar wrap on it, and switched the seat and post. I love the Geometry and the bike in general. I am not aware of another bike that is available with top of the line components, but with that relaxed a geometry. The only thing I don't like is how the dropouts and non-replaceable rear derailleur hanger are glued into the carbon. If you bang them up, you are for all practical purposes SOL.

Mechanic in my bike shop had a Rabobank Team SL. He really liked it, but he switches bikes every year or so, not sure what he's on now. I'm a Cannondale guy but I'm intrigued by Giant for some reason. And his SL was SWEET. What's your history on bikes and how would you describe the Giant?

After some research on the interwebs, I found several threads on different forums, without hardly anyone who had a good thing to say about them. It sounds like it is a single person company and about everybody who had dealt with him thought he was a jerk. I figured maybe I would find something else to spend my money on. By the way, you never did post pictures of the new Cannondale you were building after you finished it.

Wonder if anybody uses moon-rocks as part of a wheel? I need some new hoops. I'll look into it, though I expect I'll end up with good ol' Mavics or something similarly solid yet unexciting. Campy makes some alu wheels I like.
Posted 31 May 2011 - 08:59 AM
How sweet is that gear?
Looks like my 10 speed record gear is going to have to shift to the training bike sometime soon. Better start saving.
I have recently purchased a pair of Campagnolo Nuetron Ultra's. Before that had used the plain neutrons. Very nice and reasonably light wheels for clinchers that you can get quite cheaply now.
I am looking to get a pair of Zipp 303 or 404 tubulars. I haven't used tubulars since 1985 when I was a younger buck and could race really fast. I am starting to race fast again as an old codger andthe weight of the 303's or 404 tubulars is hard to go passed. They seem to get a great wrap too. Pity about the price. But hey you usually get what you pay for.
Not sure about the wider body on the 303's though. You have to use a 23+mm tire. That takes out a lot of good tires from the selection choice. I guess I would be looking at the Vitoria evo cx as the first choice. They were sweet back in 1985 and I am sure they are even better now.

Green Mountain Parfait
Parfait is a wonderful thing. It allows those of us who find boredom in single-flavour desserts to enjoy many tastes and textures elegantly layered in one tall glass. This one was inspired by Japanese parfaits, in which the most peculiar colours and foods are combined to make insane edible creations.
Avocado ice cream is among our favourite culinary discoveries of this summer. It seems as though avocado was created for ice cream making, with its smooth and creamy texture.
We wanted this parfait to tell a visual story and paint a delicious landscape. The layers of green ice cream, buckwheat crunchies, fresh cherries, and blueberry and vanilla creams are meant to resemble topography. Mountains and valleys, trees and flowers, and finally, at the very top - snowy peaks.
Just like all desserts on Golubka, this parfait is nourishing and full of ingredients that do nice things for your body. Go ahead, try it for breakfast.
Light Green Layer - Avocado Ice Cream
3 hass avocados
1 cup meat of fresh young coconut OR cashews
1/4 cup coconut oil
juice and zest of 1 1/2 limes
5 dates - pitted
1/2 vanilla bean
1/3 cup light raw agave nectar
1 cup water
Combine all ingredients, except the lime zest, in a high speed blender until smooth. Reserve 1/3 of the mixture for the forest green layer. Chill well and put into an ice cream maker for 25 minutes or however long your brand of ice cream machine suggests. Add the lime zest directly into the ice cream machine after about 15 minutes of churning. Freeze for 1-2 hours before serving.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, there is an option to make avocado mousse instead of ice-cream. Just exclude the water and coconut meat/cashew, add about two more avocados and adjust the amount of agave to taste. Chill in the refrigerator until the mousse thickens.
Forest Green Layer
In a high speed blender, combine the reserved 1/3 of avocado mixture with some fresh spinach until the desired colour is achieved. Make ice cream according to the instructions above.
White Layer - Vanilla Cream
1 cup meat of young Thai coconut
1/4 cup coconut water
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 vanilla bean
1/4 cup light raw agave nectar
1/2 cup dry coconut flakes OR cashews
Combine all the ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth. Reserve about 1/3 of the mixture for the Violet Layer. Chill in the refrigerator until the cream thickens.
Violet Layer - Blueberry Cream
In a high speed blender, add fresh blueberries or blueberry powder to the reserved 1/3 of vanilla cream until the desired colour is reached. Chill in the refrigerator until the cream thickens.
Mango Buckwheat Crunchies
1 cup sprouted buckwheat
flesh of 1/2 ripe mango
2 dates - pitted
In a blender, puree the mango flesh and dates. Transfer to a mixing bowl together with the sprouted buckwheat and mix well to coat the sprouts.
Spread on Teflex sheets and dehydrate overnight or until completely dry and crispy.
1-2 cups fresh cherries - pitted
1 cup fresh or freeze dried sour cherries (optional) - pitted
Cut the fresh cherries in half. Optionally, dehydrate the fresh cherries at 115F for 1-2 hours.
Using a piping or Ziploc bag, squeeze some avocado ice cream into a tall glass to make a first layer. Follow by the forest green layer, and then more avocado ice cream mixed with cherries. Sprinkle with mango buckwheat crunchies and top with blueberry and vanilla cream. You can arrange the layers in any way you want. Aesthetically, it's nice to take care to arrange the layers unevenly to create the hilly landscape appearance.

[Solved] SVG + CSS Issues
Hi everyone,
I have been adding svg images to div tags with the background property in css (example: the treehouse logo on this website). I am having a strange issue I don't quite understand. The svg file loads just fine in my local host, but when I upload the files into my server and preview the site remotely, the svg image doesn't load and the browser doesn't recognize it, as if the file wasn't there. Am I forgetting to add something to the page so it loads properly?
Help on this would be super awesome.
What are you putting as the URL to the image? We need the code.
Hi sorry I should've added the example from the start. Please refer to http://codepen.io/anon/pen/cgobp to see the issue I'm running into.
Simple answer....your svg image isn't an image...it's an xml file. with an SVG extension..I think that makes a difference but I'm no expert.
Paulie's example gets served with header Content-Type:image/svg+xml
Yours gets served with header Content-Type:text/plain
I think that could be the problem (not sure), Google for how to change the content-type for svg in the response header (because I don't know how, probably some .htaccess setting if you're using Apache).
Paulie and Croco,
thanks for the advice I ended up learning new tricks from it... it still doesn't work tho... strange... I've tried using:
"AddType image/svg+xml svg AddType image/svg+xml svgz"
"Content-Type: image/svg+xml"
as an .htaccess file in the directory where my .svg files live, but nothing...
I'm running out of ideas. Would you think it is my server's problem?
I'm getting an error. Do you have access to your server's error log?
I've Googled some and I think you only need
AddType image/svg+xml svg
(and svgz extension if you need it)Ok it works now! I don't quite understand the logic of the solution tho... In order for it to work, I need to add the .htaccess files with the AddType lines in the same directory where the svg images live. That in return will throw that 500 server error that CrocoDillon mentioned. If I reload the URL, delete the .htaccess file, and reload the URL one more time, it will work.
Check it out: http://www.miguelzuleta.com/temp/1/ii/square.svg There isn't an error anymore, and it is loading as an image instead of svg code.
Awesome. Thank you guys for your help!
That's weird, always thought .htaccess gets inherited by sub directories. Anyway it works here too, gj!

You know you're a geek if you felt all warm and fuzzy inside when you read that headline. If you got here by accident, here's the news: The biggest prime number yet has been discovered.
It is indeed massive, more than 17 million digits long. A text file of the entire number contains more than 22 megabytes of information.
For those who have been out of school for a while, let's review: A prime number is a positive integer that cannot be divided evenly by any number except itself and 1. The first 10 prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29.
There is no clear pattern in these numbers, nor is there an easy formula to calculate the 11th prime number (31). And, as proven by the great mathematician Euclid, around 300 B.C., there are an infinite number of primes.
That means there are unfathomably large numbers that are prime. The newest find is 2 to the power of 57,885,161 minus 1. That means 2, multiplied by 2 more than 57 million times, minus 1. Don't try this on any ordinary calculator.
The lucky number-hunter who came upon it is Curtis Cooper of the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, a collaborative project involving thousands of volunteers who sift through numbers in search of primes.
Cooper, a professor at the University of Central Missouri, used his computer to identify the number through software developed by George Woltman, in Orlando, Florida, and the PrimeNet system written by Scott Kurowski, in San Diego, California.
The achievement was no easy task: According to GIMPS, it took 39 days of nonstop computing to prove the prime number is indeed prime.
This is the third time that Cooper and his university have uncovered a record prime number, according to GIMPS.
Prime-number hunters do get to reap some rewards. The new number is eligible for a $3,000 prize from GIMPS. There's more money in even bigger numbers, though: The Electronic Frontier Foundation offers a cool $250,000 to the first individual or group that snags a prime number of at least 1 billion digits. Neither of these purses is prime.

So, just curious...is LXDE the most lightweight Desktop Environment?
Of the supported PCLOS Distros it is.
Quote from: Tony on February 19, 2013, 11:29:28 AMOf the supported PCLOS Distros it is.Hotiegibbon made several remasters lighter than the current LXDE but unfortunately retired them, maybe somebody has an updated install.
I'm sure those work but I still wonder why "lightest" keeps coming up.
QuoteI'm sure those work but I still wonder why "lightest" keeps coming up.Just because Some of us like to try different DEs and make it work with the least possible resources, currently that means a Celeron 450 IBM laptop with 64 MB RAM, 2GB video and 10 GB HD a previous AntiX version works like a charm in that thing
I know this has been touched on before, but you can easily run any of your favorite KDE apps within LXDE, and still save a lot of ram. Works very well here...

I love the case , everything fits perfectly , so convenient. I would recommend this especially for woman who don't want to carry a purse around.
I would love this wallet, however, I misread that its for an iPhone 4 ams I have a 3GS. Gave it away.
Works great!!! Affordable for anyone and does exactly what it is designed to do.
I ordered this because it incorporates a wallet with the iPhone case. I was very pleased when it arrived. It is a nice leather and well made. There a bill fold for paper money, 4 slots for credit cards and a place for my driver's licence with a clear cover. It closes nicely with four cards and a driver's licence in place. There is a little bulk when folding over to use the phone, but fits nicely in my hand. It is not cumbersome to use the camera either. If you are looking for convenience, then this item will fit the bill!
Nice case. Good for the price. A little bulky so it is not a case to put in your jeans.

The night before Thanksgiving, Sarah Allen Benton would meet hometown friends to begin a season of binge drinking.
"During the holidays, even those without alcohol problems may find that they are drinking more than they have the rest of the year," said Benton, a therapist in Waltham, Mass., and author of "Understanding the High-Functioning Alcoholic: Breaking the Cycle and Finding Hope" (Rowman & Littlefield), a term that described her until eight years ago.
But even with a packed holiday social calendar, it's possible to combine moderation with celebration or to abstain while having fun.
Setting some intentions and boundaries can help thwart overindulging or just manage stress over the holidays, said Gregory Jantz, author of 28 books and founder of the treatment center A Place of Hope in Seattle.
Get an index card and write a simple commitment, such as, "I'm going to handle the holidays differently by (whatever)," Jantz said. "I want you to carry that card with you. I don't want you to put it on your smartphone. I want you to write it in your own handwriting. Three times a day I want you to pull it out and say it right then." If you decide to cut alcohol, consider one benefit: "The average person gains 7 to 8 pounds at the holiday season," Jantz said. "You're making a decision, 'I'm going to build some strong self-care during the holidays, which has to do with less alcohol.'"
Identify triggers — people, topics — that may bring on anger, fear and guilt, which Jantz says are three deadly emotions. Identify two or three people at a gathering with whom you feel grounded and circulate back to them. Come with a conversation starter that can fill a void. Get some exercise and consume a source of protein just before going. Drink two glasses of water when you arrive. "If someone wants to hand you a cocktail, say, 'Oh, thank you, I'll have that in just a minute,'" Jantz said. Avoid mixed drinks. It's harder to control the amount of alcohol in them.
Plan your drinking. "People go in wishy-washy and say, 'I'll have just a few drinks,'" Benton said. "If you plan to have two, if you don't have a problem, you should be able to stick to that. If you plan to have two and have eight, that's a problem." Those who want to abstain should consider bringing a substitute drink with them. If you'll be expected to consume alcohol, prepare a line or quip to explain why you're not — that you're fighting a cold or training for a race. Don't expect applause for your restraint. "If I relied on others' opinions, I'd be drinking again," Benton, 36, said.
Set a time frame, as in, "I will stay at this gathering for two hours." Resist pleas to stay. "Over time I realized that if someone does care if I leave, it's going to be for like 5 minutes," said advertising executive Peter Rosch, who finished rehab just before Thanksgiving four years ago (see related story). "The world doesn't revolve around me, and people know how to have a good time when I'm not there." Rosch uses an exit strategy from his drinking days. "I used to just leave parties without saying a word; I'd do the Irish goodbye. I adopted that in my sobriety. And much like when I drank and disappeared, most people didn't notice, and those who did knew what was up."
Create a new tradition. People often attend an event or linger for fear of offending or missing out, Benton said. If a large event is too much for you, consider hosting or coordinating a smaller one. "People are afraid to make changes or to not show up," Benton said. "Be honest with yourself: Do you enjoy it? There's a lot of obligation over the holidays, but the holidays aren't the only time to spend time with family or friends. People become victim to the holidays, but you can take a proactive stance."
Rosch's wife comes from a large Italian family that often has a triple-header of Christmas functions with 25 to 40 people apiece.
"When I was drinking, I would have been gung-ho about going to all three," he said. "Now it's like, 'I'm going to do that one.' You have to be a little more selective about where you're putting yourself and remember that the moment it gets uncomfortable you can just leave. It's about taking care of yourself."
All of this said, if you're dwelling on a drinking strategy, look honestly at whether drinking works for you at all.
"People can go through heavy drinking periods and phase out of them and not be an alcoholic," Benton said. "But I wasn't one of them."
Learning to be the life of the party — sober
Today, four years into sobriety, advertising executive Peter Rosch can linger at any party and, he said, "carry on far more interesting conversations than anyone ever got from me in those last few years of being a drunk."
Now 39, Rosch thought for years he was no heavier a drinker than most of his friends and colleagues.
"New York City is a big drinking town, and advertising is a pretty hard-core-drinking industry," he said. "I lived sort of a work-hard/play-hard lifestyle, which isn't something that's necessary, but it's a common mentality that people in high-pressure jobs adopt, and I went with that. … There were nights here and there where there were incidents, but it kind of worked for me. I was a functioning alcoholic for a lot of years."
Alcoholism, though, is a progressive disease, and by his mid-30s, Rosch started wondering if he had a problem. But he ignored his own concerns. "Around the time I was 34 or 35, I started to think that maybe I'm going to have a problem, but I was certainly not ready to admit it. I surrounded myself with other problem drinkers and alcoholics to keep it seeming normal. A lot of the people who were out drinking, as it turned out, were not drinking as hard as I thought they were. That was the biggest shock when I got sober."
He hit bottom in 2008 after a decision to go freelance and a breakup afforded him more free time.
"All these things that were kind of keeping my drinking in check got stripped away, some intentionally, some not, and that was when I found out how much of an alcoholic I was," he said. "It accelerated so quickly. I went from being someone who drank every night to someone who couldn't take a shower without taking a drink. Physically, the pain and pangs my body had for alcohol, until I had a couple of drinks, it was impossible for me to go to the bank or even groom myself."
After rehab, he returned to a vigorous social life — sober. He still works in advertising, including on a liquor account, and plays in a band.
"I knew there was no way I wasn't going to be in a bar or at a party again," Rosch said.
One security object, he said, was to bring a nonalcoholic beverage with him. "Sometimes, I'd go to a party and bring an iced coffee. Maybe that prevented people from saying, 'Can I get you a drink?' and me having to explain I don't want one."
Furthermore, he has trained himself to release inhibitions without liquid courage. "Whether it's dancing or telling someone a fantastic story, a lot of people rely on alcohol to take that journey. Now I go into those situations and embrace the idea that if I make a fool of myself, people will probably just assume that I'm drunk."
Rosch, now living in Boston, attributes that to a wedding reception early in his recovery. He was apprehensive. "A good friend of mine who had been sober for quite some time said, 'As soon as the music starts, go out and start dancing.'" Rosch told him he didn't think he could do that without a few drinks. "He said, 'Trust me, just go out and start dancing.' For whatever reason, I took his advice and went with it. Now at weddings I'm probably out there for a good hour before the rest of the people are ready. Luckily I have a beautiful wife, and I'm not just out there dancing on my own."
Rosch, author of the fictional book about an alcoholic, "My Dead Friend Sarah," still sometimes gets anxious before an event where alcohol is flowing. "But it has never been to the level I had before a party, when I'd find myself wondering if I'd make an ass of myself, coaching myself going into that night to try and only drink three or four drinks. … For me the stress of trying to manage drinking was far worse than simply accepting that I wouldn't be having a single drink on an occasion where others would."
His advice to anyone having an internal dialogue about their drinking before a holiday function: commit to drinking or commit to having zero alcoholic drinks.
"Don't spend the night beating yourself up and trying to find some happy medium. Regardless of what decision you make, if you are having those types of conversations with yourself, I'd strongly suggest seeking out an AA meeting, even if you haven't decided you're an alcoholic. After all, what have you got to lose?"

Tiger Woods Me: Damn! Did you hear about Tiger Woods?
Other person: Yeah! He's such a manwhore |
Manwhore videos | |||
1. | Manwhore | ||
The male equivalent of a slut. "Wow, Jacob is such a manwhore."
2. | manwhore | ||
A male who's unleashed himself from the bonds of society; thinking for himself and following his own mental dictates and biological drives. This inherently causes the women around him to fall for him. That guy's a serious manwhore, he must surf www.manwhore.org all day long!
3. | Manwhore | ||
A Manwhore is a male that has several key attributes. A typically young (18-25)male who dresses in designer clothing, carries multiple cellphones, has become a master of manipulating women, and makes it his personal mission to sleep with as many different women as possible qualifies as a manwhore. He also has virtually no emmotional attachment to any of his victims. The reputaion of manwhore makes gaining new potential victims somewhat difficult, so most manwhores are forced to switch territories and stomping grounds frequently. However, even in familair enviornments, many manwhores can continue to get laid by playing the "im misunderstood, or "Im just pissed and acting out over a bad breakup" card. A true master in both deception and cunning, a manwhore is any "good girls" worst nightmare come true. "Oh god, we need to hide Jenny, that boy is a Manwhore"
4. | manwhore | ||
A badge of fucking pride. Yeah I'm a bit of a manwhore. At least I tell the girls that before I get them drunk and fuck them. But they usually think I'm kidding.
5. | manwhore | ||
The name is of a male who is very attractive(sexy, cute, hot, etc) but uses females for sexual pleasure Steph: He used me...
Friend: Just forget him, Alex's a manwhore |
7. | Manwhore | ||
1.) A guy who goes from girl to girl, just for the sex. He sleeps with several different women and is not looking for any form of commitment.
(Anti-homophob Note: Gays can be manwhores too.. they just sleep with men instead =3) 2.) A guy who has a history of cheating. 3.) A guy who's just in it for the sex: no being tied down, will ditch as soon as the chick starts to get attached. Basically, they only want casual sex and no serious relationships of any sort. That manwhore dumped me after I said I loved him.
That manwhore dumped me after I said I wanted to wait for marriage before having sex. That manwhore cheated on me with three other sluts. |

The Thai chili sauce does most of the work.
2 long Chinese or Japanese eggplant
1 Tbsp dark soy sauce
2 Tbsp bottled Thai sweet chili sauce (ingredients: palm sugar, red chili, vinegar, garlic, salt, water)
Vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Slice the eggplants in half lengthwise, then on the bias into strips about ½" thick.
Lightly salt the eggplant, set aside for about 20 minutes (I skip this step when I use Japanese eggplant).
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce and chili sauce (optional: add 1 tsp vegetable oil).
Rinse and pat dry your eggplant, and toss eggplant in sauce.
Brush a baking sheet or baking dish with vegetable oil, then pour eggplant onto sheet.
Bake until soft and yummy, usually about 20 minutes but may need longer.
I have frozen and reheated leftovers with no problems.
I'm having a vision. I see this dish in my bento box Real Soon Now!
Thanks for posting :-)
Oooo! Nice, I'll have to try that one. Good job. Eggplant lovers unite!!
That sounds great! I haven't found any nice eggplants lately, so I'll have to try harder!
I tried this with small zucchini and yellow squash in addition to the eggplant and it was great! Thanks for the recipe.
This is a great idea. I braised the eggplant in a donabe and added a bit of sesame oil and garlic. It was good hot for dinner and cold the next day in a bento.
This sounds really good. I love anything with eggplant, and this seems easy to prepare as well.

Lakewood Ranch real estate officials say the economic downturn is shifting.
According to a press release issued May 18, the East County community enjoyed strong numbers in the first quarter of 2009 and is projecting a 35% increase in closings in its second quarter.
Lakewood's Miramar townhome and condo community is showing particularly positive signs, with only seven condos and four townhomes still left.
"From the end-user standpoint, you're never going to get better pricing or lower rates than right now," said Miramar co-owner Charlie Brasington. "We, as investors in the real estate market, have been looking statewide. We see all the positive signs — great pricing, regained consumer confidence with buyers coming to the signing table and even some price increases."
Furthermore, homebuilder Neal Communities continues to see activity and sales at the highest levels since 2005.
"We are convinced that the real estate market decline has ended, and the sales cycle has rebounded," said President Pat Neal. "People are buying new homes and are looking to their futures. They see that this is the time to buy a home, and they are confidently investing in new homes."
Other Lakewood Ranch builders are also reporting sales. Multiple closings are scheduled for the second quarter from London Bay Homes, Gibraltar Homes, John Cannon Homes and Lee Wetherington Homes.
Traffic in the new home Information Center for 2009 is at its highest level since 2005, showing interest is high as buyers realize now is the time to buy.
"An increase in return visits by prospects who have visited us previously is one of the leading indicators of an improving real estate market," said Schroeder-Manatee Ranch President and CEO Rex Jensen. "More than 1,000 visitors made return trips to Lakewood Ranch in the first quarter of this year.
"Even post-season traffic numbers are boasting these same trends," he said. "We attribute this to the fact that buyers know that if they are going to make a buying decision now, it had better be on a sure thing like the value that Lakewood Ranch offers."

Just reposting these.
Name: Xxagamorthas (za-ga-more-thas)
Age: About 30 or so
Gender: Female
Animal/Spell Theme: Raven/Necromantic (mainly raising the dead and draining life, but other necromantic abilities are present, if a bit weaker)
Position: Archmage
Personality: Xxagamorthas is one of two twin siblings, a brother and a sister. She represents evil, and does it well. No witch, short of Medusa herself, has proven to be more evil than she is. Xxaga has no regard for human life, not even her own. She does not fear death or injury of any kind, focusing on torturing and slowly and painfully killing her victims. She revels in seeing others suffer, and adds insult to injury by raising their corpses as minions to fight for her. However, she is a quiet woman, not really speaking much even when spoken to. Much of her communication is through body language and her eyes, which seem to convey her emotions like a copper wire conducts electricity.
Bio: Xxagamorthas and her brother, Skizzerkiin, were born in Death City to a simple family. However, Xxaga proved to be quite a handful, because she kept harming others. And evidence implied that she actually enjoyed it, too, especially when they screamed. Her parents kept scolding her, asking why she couldn't be more like her brother. Things grew even worse as a talent for necromancy became apparent, which, due to interrupting the balance of the world, was strictly illegal. She was facing execution for such a crime, combined with the fact that true magic without the assistance of a weapon was strictly forbidden (people don't want to risk someone becoming a witch or a warlock), but the witches had caught wind of her abilities. Through an operation that risked exposing them, the Hounds of Hecate managed to smuggle her out of the city, but not without slaughtering her family. Xxaga enjoyed watching them suffer for the way they had treated her, and knew she was a perfect fit for the role of a witch.
The Hounds soon found that Xxaga's natural magic ability was already quite powerful, and could likely become extremely powerful given the proper training and refinement. And become extremely powerful she did, allowing her to gain the position of Archmage among the Hounds, being the most adept magic user. She was still below Hecate herself by quite a bit, but the leader of the Hounds didn't usually dismiss what little advice Xxaga gives on matters. Xxaga commanded a respect among the others, despite not being part of the Hounds for quite as long as some of the more senior members. However, she does not want this respect, nor does she care about her position. All she wants is to make others suffer for the crimes Death City committed against her.
Meister's Name: Skizzerkiin (ski-zer-kin)
Weapon's Name: Demon
Meister's Age: About 30 or so
Weapon's Age: About 30 or so
Appearance of Meister:
Human Appearance of Weapon:
Weapon Appearance of Weapon:
Soul Resonance Appearance of Weapon: The one on top in the previous picture.
Meister Position: Independent
Weapon Position: Death Scythe
Meister Personality: Where Skizzerkiin's sister Xxagamorthas is pure evil, Skizzerkiin is exactly the opposite. He is seemingly the very embodiment of virtue, loathing those who would take joy in seeing others suffer. He refuses to kill, believing killing would bring him down to the level of the evil ones he fights to eliminate. At least, that's what he tells people and himself. In all actuality, this refusal to kill originates from a sort of paranoia regarding Xxaga's necromancy. He had no idea how powerful she is or what her range for raising the dead was, and didn't want people he killed standing and attacking him again. Whatever the case, Skizzerkiin is working to find a resonation technique that will completely cripple the intended target, rendering them comatose or unable to use any abilities related to the soul ever again, thus rendering them incapacitated for long enough that he can capture them. His work is resultless so far, though, with little hope of completion. He is bound and determined to develop this ultimate ability, though, and continues experimenting with different resonances and motions to find it. As far as he's concerned, the technique is out there, just waiting for him to claim it. He also tends to be boisterous and talkative, which sometimes annoys other Meisters. However, he sometimes spends days not talking much, and he is unsure what causes these silent periods. More than anything, he despises his sister, Xxagamorthas. None have earned Skizzerkiin's hate than Xxaga has. Xxaga is the only individual that Skizzerkiin would not hesitate to kill, for such a thing would be a moral deed. To rid the world of such scum as Xxaga couldn't be anything other than righteous... or could it?
Weapon Personality: Where Xxaga is pure evil and Skizzerkiin is pure virtue, Demon stands directly between them. He is neutral in alignment, with qualities of both karmic alignments. He doesn't exactly agree with Skizzerkiin's no-kill policy, but respects it. Given the chance and the need, he will kill. However, unlike Xxaga, he will only kill when necessary. He doesn't enjoy it, but he sees it as a means to an end, not an atrocity. He's fairly quiet, though not to the degree that Xxaga is. You could definitely say Demon is the in-between for Skizzerkiin and Xxaga. However, when Skizzerkiin goes into one of his silent spells, the weapon worries about his Meister.
Bio: Like his twin sister, Xxagamorthas, Skizzerkiin was born to a simple family in Death City. Unlike her, he was the pride of his parents. Whenever they got the chance, they made sure people knew that he was their son, and he took pride in the fact. He absolutely adored his parents, and swore to protect them in any way he could. And when it was found that he was able to pair with a weapon, he didn't hesitate to apply at the Death Weapon Meister Academy in the exact center of Death City. He felt the DWMA could aid him in becoming more powerful and better able to protect his parents. However, it proved to not be enough. He was sent to investigate suspicious magical activity, and it proved to be the sister he loathed. He found her standing over a corpse, and, upon seeing him, a black flame that, when looked through, showed the bones in his sister's hands engulfed her hands and the corpse, and the corpse rose and shuffled towards him. Skizzerkiin was horrified and used Demon to decapitate it, then literally dragged his sister to the DWMA and personally escorted her to Death's office for him to decide her fate. As he suspected, Lord Death sentence her to death. The sentence never did get carried out, because a group of people infiltrated the city and captured her, stopping at their home. Skizzerkiin, fearing for his parents' safety, arrived too late and found Xxaga already reanimating their corpses, which shuffled after him. Horrified beyond any level he thought was possible, he had no choice but to kill them. While he was fighting his dead parents, Xxaga managed to escape, and he hasn't seen her since. Ashamed, he swore to train harder than ever, determined to make sure his sister didn't kill any more innocent people. Out of caution and a little paranoia, covered up by moral uprightness, he refused to kill. He had no idea how powerful a magic user Xxaga was or what kind of range she had, and, knowing it sounded absolutely dumb, covered it up with saying it was out of morality. Eventually, he convinced himself it was true, but the paranoia was still present, deep within his mind.

Personally, I enjoyed Advance 2 more than 1 and 3, and view it as one of the best games in the franchise. When comparing the Advance games to Sonic Rush, I couldn't stand to even continue that game after the second zone. The physics were so awful that it ruined the gameplay for me. Not to mention the momentum based gameplay the series was known for was scrapped with boosting which was nowhere near as satisfying and fun. Also, while Sky Canyon Zone had way, way, way too many bottomless pits, the art direction was awesome, the music was memorable and great, and the level had some really cool level gimmicks I had a ton of fun with. I find the level really damn fun with Tails.
Just watching those videos makes me want to play the game again. Wonderful game.
I would've much rather see Dimps try to make a Sonic Advance 4 for PSN/XBLA/PC than them attempting to make Sonic 4. While that's partially due to the fact they failed badly to make a worthy followup to Sonic 4 with Episode 1, I would have just really loved to see a Sonic Advance 4.
