Great product
This is great product for the price. Looks great and has a good quality feel to it. Does the job perfectly, a real bargain.E Sharpe - Ilford
A practical, comfortable well priced lid
The helmet is light, appears well made and the peak is a great bonus. I have had quieter helmets. This is a great bit of kit, nothing on the market like it at this money, I would recommend it.David Parry - Mirfield
Excellent service
Brilliant service, great delivery time and web page is excellent. Jacket fits perfectly and is extremely comfortable. I followed previous advice and ordered the next size up to your actual size.Laurence Waters - Bournemouth
Get a size larger, it's very snug
Good quality jacket, or so it seems to me - stylish and resistant. Sizing though is tight even ordering one size up - and I'm not a McDs Supersized bloke! The grey on it is much less than in the photo. Its all robust and liner is easy to detach which is good news.Brian Redpath - Rugby
Great everything I need.
I bought an 'AirMan' electric pump from Amazon. Total rubbish, just didn't work - sent it back. The Slime Power Sport, however, is great! It does just what it says on the box and supplies all the accessories needed to use it on the Motorbike - hard-wired to the battery for complete ease of use, so I can use the 12v power plug in the car socket. It would be nice to have a built-in pressure gauge, but I find the little plastic one supplied with the pump adequate once I checked the calibration. Quite a surprise - nearly threw it away! The whole package is ultimately portable and protected by a good, strong, tight-fitting carrying case. Ideal for the top-box or pannier on the bike, where mine lives most of the time.Martin Hopp - King's Lynn

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. - Charlotte County Sheriff's Dive Team members recovered a stolen 2003 Mercedes SLK320 in a Deep Creek lake Sunday afternoon.
The car was reported stolen on November 16, 2009 from a driveway in the 25000 block of Aysen Drive, not far from where the vehicle was found submerged about 75-feet offshore in the lake.
A resident nearby who lives on Santarem Circle contacted CCSO after spotting the submerged car. The car was valued at $20,000.
A woman from South Naples and her daughter from Miami own the Mercedes which was given to a Naples businessman to have the vehicle custom painted.
The man moved the Mercedes to a shop in Port Charlotte. He then gave the car to an employee to work on and the employee took it to his Deep Creek home. It was parked in his driveway with the key inside and reported stolen sometime during the early morning hours on November 16.
Detectives are continuing the investigation. If you have information about this case, please call the CCSO at 941-639-2101, or Crime Stoppers at 800-780-TIPS (8477).

LifeShield Security Review
LifeShield's cellular-based alarm system offers peace of mind, but they remain behind the competition in terms of home automation and providing some key products, such as outdoor cameras. Learn More
The Good
Cellular-based alarm systems:
Having cellular technology in a home security system is an important component that ensures your system is always up and running. You don't have to pay for a separate cellular line because most companies tap into the existing lines from carriers. Having a cellular-based system is a huge upgrade because a burglar can cut a wire or disable a wireless alarm, but a cellular system will continue to stay active.
Simple DIY setup:
If you don't want to wait around for a technician, LifeShield's DIY setup is simple. It requires no tools and LifeShield claims the entire setup can take less than an hour. All you have to do is decide where to place the sensors and security devices and you will have control over your entire home security system. LifeShield even includes a video to show you the simplicity of the setup process.
Solid mobile application:
With the LifeShield mobile app for your iPhone, Android, or BlackBerry, you can have nearly full control over your home security system. The app is completely free and you can arm/disarm your security system from anywhere, change security codes, and see what's happening inside the house. The iPhone app also has pretty favorable reviews if you check it out in the iTunes store.
The Bad
Poor home automation capabilities:
The major area of weakness for LifeShield is definitely in the home automation department. Unlike some of the leading home security systems, you can't have your lights turn on at specific times and LifeShield doesn't enable you to set your lights to react to a sensor to make it look like someone is home. In addition to that, there's no remote lighting control so you can't turn lights on or off when you're away from the house like you can with other top products. The same goes for temperature and appliance control. In terms of home automation and technology, LifeShield is simply behind the competition.
Missing a couple sensors and detectors:
LifeShield doesn't come with a full selection of sensors and detectors to complete a home security system. Two of the items missing from their offerings are recessed door sensors and a garage door tilt sensor. Recessed door sensors are hidden and installed inside the door frame to send a signal when a door is opened. The garage door tilt sensor is more of a specialty feature, but if you have a garage and want to know when someone is coming or going, it's nice to have.
Weak surveillance options:
If you want to watch the activity outside of your house in addition to the inside, you probably won't want to use LifeShield. They don't offer any outdoor cameras with their home security system. In addition, you won't be able to have access to any pan-and-tilt video cameras. On a more positive note, LifeShield does offer wireless security cameras that can capture still shots or video and you can access them live at any time.
The Details
- Arm/Disarm - You can arm and disarm the security system remotely.
- Change Access Codes - You can change system access codes for different people who may have to enter your home.
- History Log - You can view a logged history of events that have taken place over a specified time period.
- Home Alerts - You can automatically receive alerts from your security system to keep you aware of what is happening in your house when you are not around.
- Adjust Temperature - You can adjust the temperature of your house remotely.
- Appliance Control - You can remotely turn small appliances on or off using a smartphone or Internet connection.
- Electronic Door Locks - The company offers electronic door locks that can communicate wirelessly so you are able to lock and unlock your doors from anywhere.
- Event-Triggered Automation - You can set your lights to react to alarm sensors or other events.
- Lighting Control - You can turn lights on or off using your laptop or smartphone.
- Scheduled Automation - You can set a schedule for lights to be on at specific times of each day.

New pictures have emerged of Ducati's new 1098 superbike-powered Multistrada replacement.

The pictures tell us little more than previous spy-shots of the new bike, which will use the 1099cc Testastretta Evoluzione liquid-cooled v-twin from Ducati's 1098 superbike, not the newer 1199cc from the 1198 as reported elsewhere.

The old Multi lacks the sexiness associated with Ducati. A barely competent bike for it's purpose to boot. The new Multi will undoubtedly be ugly as sin too. I'd much rather see the ST4 come back. In fact, I want it to come back badly. Ducati should concentrate more on the sporty side of the bike industry IMO. It's what they do best.

Ducati need not even think about these 5 good bikes as rivals. None of them quickens the heart, warms the blood, nor satisfies the mind quite like the Ducati--- any Ducati. I am speaking from the standpoint of a Ducatista who is typically blind to the falts (few though they may be) of my favorite brand.
The point is that Ducati knows their market well (as does BMW) and does not design motorcycles to "compete" for the hearts and minds of low-commitment riders! Ducatista will love this bike (some more than others, some less than others), and as they do with all Ducati, will salute when they see one.

You surely would not be saying this if you'd actually properly ridden one?
Please be assured my bike and I are extremely competent at real road riding.

As for the looks, well that depends on your point of view.

Comments about the styling are irrelevant until we can see one without all the disguise and camouflage. The Multistrada is a strange looking bike but supremely capable on the road, and odd looks seem to be expected for this class of bike. Just look at the BMW GS series and try to tell me with a straight face that it's a good looking bike, yet BMW sell them by the truckload despite dodgy reliability.
I among others hope that Ducati get around to producing a 1098 based ST to succeed the late lamented ST4S, I need another ST!

Canter & Siegel's spirit lives on, 12 years later. Now with Google Adwords!
- Green Cards, Red Sites
With so much at stake, it's perhaps no surprise that bad actors seek to take advantage of the Green Card Lottery to line their own pockets. We were tipped off by some SiteAdvisor user comments pointing out the misleading nature of seemingly-"official" green card lottery sites. So we decided to take a closer look.
(The excellent) SiteAdvisor points to another lovely scam going on: people charging you to enter the US's Green Card lottery, which is of course free to enter.
But unless I've completely skimmed this, they don't mention that Canter & Siegel were the first to bring the GCl to infamy by spamming hundreds of newsgroups with their offer in .. 1994? (from memory). Here's what I wrote then: the standfirst that the subs wrote says "Millions of people who chat to each other on the Internet fear they are about to be deluged by spam - the electronic version of junk mail." Gee, do you think they were right?
Extract from that piece:
After Canter sent his message, anyone who logged onto a Usenet newsgroup hoping to find the latest gossip about their chosen topic - which range from Amazon women to the Vietnam war - would have been greeted by a message headed: 'Green Card Lottery 1994 May be the Last One!! Sign up now!!' Most of the estimated six million readers probably just deleted it. But many were infuriated.
Ah yes, "may be the last". Not a lie, just an.. exaggeration.
(Seen at SiteAdvisor blog)
Update: I've added the article to this site so you can read it directly.)

Nam June Paik - TV Buddha, 1976
First designed in 1974, Paik's TV Buddha brings together the past and present, the old and new, the real and illusory. This version, created for his 1976 Kaldor Public Art Project, uses an old Korean Maitreya (Buddha of the future) that belonged to John Kaldor and a futuristic-looking television Paik bought in Sydney's Kings Cross. The Buddha perpetually gazes at the TV screen, on which he sees an image of himself recorded by the closed-circuit camera.Seen at Art Gallery NSW, Sydney, December 2011

Guinness and Bailey's Ganache-Filled Cupcakes
Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've posted anything because I've been so busy with school! Studying is hard. ;)
I made these cupcakes recently and it seemed to be a big hit! So here is the recipe for those who want it (in the "Read More" section after all the pictures)
I had extra cupcakes (and no ganache! :( ), so I scooped out the center and filled the cupcake with Homemade Cranberry Sorbet (recipe later) and Haagen Dazs Peach Crumble Ice Cream, topped with fresh berries!
See the inside! Ganache filling. Next time I make this, it will be oozing out deliciousness….
Now for pictures of everyone taste-testing the cupcakes!!! There is PLENTY to share ;)
Happy eatings!! :)
Guiness and Bailey's Ganache-Filled Cupcakes (adapted from Une-deux senses)
For the cupcakes
- 1 cup Guinness (the recipe calls for Stout, but I used Draught)
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa
- 2 cups sugar (I think I will use 1 3/4 cups sugar next time, the cupcakes were rather sweet to me)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup coconut cream (optional—This is the magic ingredient that makes the cupcake soft and smooth without being wet)
For the Bailey's Ganache Filling
- 8 oz bittersweet chocolate finely chopped (I used Ghirardelli's Bittersweet Chocolate)
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
- 2-6 tsp Bailey's Irish Creme (use your own discretion here—I really wanted the Irish creme taste to come out so I used more)
- 1 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- Some ground nutmeg, or cocoa powder, or ground cinnamon to top off/decorate any cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake cups (makes about 28 regular sized cupcakes)
- Combine Guinness and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until just boiling. Turn down heat to medium-low, add cocoa and whisk until almost all clumps disappear/smooth. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a mixing bowl, add: flour, sugar, baking soda, salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat eggs, sour cream, and coconut cream. Then add the Guinness/cocoa mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Now add in the dry ingredients (step 3) to the egg mixture and beat until all large flour clumps disappear.
- Pour into cupcake mold (fill cups 3/4 full) and put into oven for about 15 minutes. Keep watch on the cupcakes and take them out as soon as you can stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean. The earlier you catch this time in making, the more soft your cupcakes will be.
- Start making the ganache!—Heat cream in a saucepan until simmering.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth.
- Add in butter and Bailey's, mix until smooth and combined.
- Let ganache sit and cool. You may or may not need to put the mixture in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to speed up cooling (if you are in a hurry)NOTE: Do not leave ganache in the refrigerator for very long, otherwise your cupcake will not ooze delicious ganache into your mouth. I had let it set in for 10 minutes with constant stirring and the ganache set thicker than I had wanted. It does not melt after being put into the refrigerator, so be careful here!) Unless you want a less oozy ganache..
- After cupcakes are taken out of the oven and let cooled to the touch, scoop out the top of the cupcake (make sure the scoop is centered) using a round tsp or 1/2 tbsp (mine are shaped like melon ballers—this will be a little more tricky if you have cylindrical shaped tsp/tbsp). Do NOT scoop all the way to the bottom of the cupcake.
- Pipe in ganache filling.
- To make the whipped cream—in a bowl, whip the cream, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until soft peaks form.
- Then add in maple syrup and powdered sugar slowly while whisking still. Whisk until medium-firm. Do NOT over-whisk! You do not want the cream to be firm, but you want it to not melt or deflate when you pipe it on top of the cupcake.
- Pipe over the cupcakes, covering/masking the ganache filling. Sprinkle with cinnamon, or nutmeg, or cocoa. If you have enough ganache left (I didn't :(, probably because I made my scoops too big because I wanted lots of ganache filling ;) ) you can drizzle the ganache over the whipped topping.

When the news hands you a horse meat scandal, just add it to your menu.
CONFIRMED: Philadelphia restaurateur Peter McAndrews is planning to serve horse meat.
As Europe continues to reel from news that millions of pounds of "beef" that wound up in supermarkets was actually mislabeled horse meat, one chef across the Atlantic is moving to "wholeheartedly" embrace the concept of serving up steed for dinner. According to Philadelphia FooBooz, chef Peter McAndrews will prominently feature horse meat on the menu at his Italian eatery, Monsu.
An Italian thing
While eating horse is considered taboo in several countries, including the United States, United Kingdom and Ireland, many other nations have a much more accepting take on eating the animals. Horse meat is often described as a sweeter, leaner version of beef. McAndrews notes that Italians have numerous ways of cooking up a horse, telling FooBooz, "In Italian food, a lot of (horse meat) is made into salami or cured meats, and some parts are also good like regular steak would be, just like a cow."
See photos of McAndrews' restaurant,Monsu
Horse meat in the U.S.
In 2006 the United States enacted a ban on using federal inspectors to examine horses meant for slaughter, according to Grist.org. Because all meat sold in America requires such an inspection, the ban on inspections amounted to a ban on producing and selling horse meat. Five years later, in 2012, the inspection ban was lifted under a Department of Agriculture bill, according to Huffington Post, meaning horses can be legally slaughtered for the meat, once approved by the USDA. Getting approval from the USDA can be difficult, however, and last December the owner of a slaughterhouse in New Mexico sued the federal government, saying his application to slaughter horses has been ignored since the ban was lifted.
USDA comments on Congress lifting ban
Not afraid of protests
Chef McAndrews' equine cuisine plans are not the first time an American restaurant has made headlines with horse recipes. The M. Wells Diner in New York featured horse tartare last year, only to yank it off the menu following a flood of complaints from concerned horse lovers. McAndrews, however, says he will not be daunted by such pleas, and will only take horse off his menu if "it's not doing well. Not because you get letters about it."

if this was pointless and ineffectual from the very beginning, now it only serves to continue to make me look even pathetic.
contrary to popular belief, though, i have actually accepted that i'm not getting you back, if i even had you at all. for the most part.
i haven't quite accepted that i mean so little to you that you've taken every moment and joke and song and tradition and everything and recycled it immediately, like they meant nothing. like i meant nothing.
you swear that you never cheated on me and i want to believe you more than anything because doubting you kills me….but not as much as the feeling that you never loved me at all, that i meant nothing to you.
i put so much into our relationship, made myself vulnerable in ways no one has ever been privy to, nor will they again. you were the first person i've said 'i love you' to romantically and meant it. no, the distance wasn't ideal and it downright sucked, but i tried to make plans and i tried to do whatever i could to make it seem less so.
i hate comparing myself to her but in the two months i have been aware of your relationship (and god, don't i sound like a joke) you have given her more than you ever gave me. you're putting in more of an effort for her, in all aspects from dressing up for her to intimacy to even making solid plans to spend time with her, something you couldn't even do with me when i offered to pay.
you were upset with me for not fighting for you, when in truth, i felt like i'd been fighting for you and nothing was working and i just wanted you to be happy, even if it wasn't with me. i just wish i knew what it is about me that makes me unworthy of being fought for or loved. i can't figure out if it's a glitch in my DNA or just my natural fatal flaw. i guess i just thought that, after being friends as long as we have, that if anything, our friendship was reason enough.
…and now i've gone and ruined your day. (wow, that doesn't sound egotistical, self. not at all.) i don't want to be the bad penny that pops up in your life from time to time and ruins your day or makes you cry.
i wish you so much happiness in your future, 'Bug and i hope every single one of your dreams come true. i hope you and shannon get your dream wedding and grow old together and throw things at ornery kids from off your front porch. i know that you'll overcome the anxiety and trust issues that you have; you're doing so well already! you've smile and/or been bubbly more in the last few weeks than i think i've seen in the whole time i've known you and i am so proud of you. just remember chin up and deep breaths.
ah, i did save one wish for me…..
i wish you would have missed me, even as a friend, just an inkling of how much i've missed you.
or at least pretended to.
faith, loge and pixie dust, x
p.s. i'm so sorry

SmartBear Software on Wednesday introduced loadUI Pro and upgraded soapUI, providing software testers with an integrated toolset to improve the quality of Web Services and API source code developed for today's desktop, cloud, mobile and Web applications. loadUI Pro is the first commercially available version of the popular Open Source Web Services load testing tool. soapUI 4.5, the world's most popular Open Source functional testing solution used by more than 800,000 testers worldwide to ensure the quality of their APIs and Web Services, is also now more tightly integrated with loadUI.
Today's software applications have become a complex composition of internally and externally sourced Web Services and API protocols that must be flexible enough to scale and grow, and robust enough to perform under load. To ensure their quality, it is critical to conduct meticulous functional and load testing during pre-deployment to identify and resolve problems early, as well as continuous monitoring and regression testing post-deployment to ensure ongoing quality of service and availability.
According to Gartner Inc. (Predicts 2012: Application Development, December 2, 2011) by 2014, 75 percent of the Fortune 1000 will offer public Web APIs. By 2014, all consumer-facing enterprises - and many that aren't - will treat a public Web API as equally important to a public website.
Thomas Murphy, Research Director, Gartner, Inc., said, "We truly are in the golden age of APIs. Web APIs are growing exponentially and are required for mobile and social applications, as well as for innovative forms of e-commerce that combine Web Services and contextual information to deliver a compelling user experience. This demands the ability to thoroughly test functionality and performance--pre-deployment-- essential to avoid performance degradations, for effective resource planning and avoiding cost-intensive fixes once the software is in production."
loadUI Pro
Available today, loadUI Pro offers a rich user experience and enterprise-ready load test environment that generates scalable, high-volume, real-world load from any number of local and remote computers. Now featuring server monitoring, loadUI Pro lets testers monitor the performance of Web Services and APIs under load so they can assess the impact on CPU and RAM usage, database performance and resource utilization, and identify the root causes of bottlenecks anywhere in the server stack.
To learn more, visit What's New in loadUI Pro.
soapUI 4.5
Version 4.5 of soapUI provides new features to improve the overall quality and management of testing projects. New test debugging helps users streamline test creation, improved assertion simplifies the test validation process, and multi-environment support enables quick changes between test environments. The new Test On Demand feature enables users to extend testing beyond the desktop and network by running tests from two external locations in SmartBear's monitoring cloud for free. Additionally, soapUI 4.5 provides an improved experience for Mac users and addresses several Mac OS X issues.
To learn more, visit What's New in soapUI 4.5.
Pradeep Bishnoi, Senior QA, API Testing & Automation, Thomson Reuters said, "I started using soapUI almost two years ago, and since then I have seen quite a few interesting features delivered with every release, keeping my interest alive and motivating me to use soapUI more and more. The best part is the soapUI team listens to users' pain points and with soapUI 4.5 most issues have been addressed. After working on soapUI 4.5 BETA 2, I can say the soapUI tool will become synonymous with API testing."
Niclas Reimertz, General Manager of API Testing Solutions, SmartBear, said, "In the Open Source community, loadUI and soapUI have proven themselves as powerful, free tools helping developers to test and improve their code every step of the way. Today's releases not only make testing more streamlined and easy to administer but also provide a new level of insight so that roadblocks to quality become more apparent and easier to resolve pre-production."
Free Trials
Free, 14-day trials of loadUI Pro and soapUI Pro are available at http://www.loadui.org/Downloads/download-loaduipro-trial.html and http://www.soapui.org/Downloads/download-soapui-pro-trial.html.

Oslo Process
This process was unveiled with the signing of the Declaration of Principles (DOP) by Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Chairman Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on the White House lawn on September 13, 1993. It was preceded by a series of backchannel meetings begun by academics under the aegis of the Norwegian government, which, over a period of months, became official though still secret. Israel recognized the PLO as the sole legitimate representative body of the Palestinian people and the PLO recognized Israel's right to exist in peace and security. The DOP called for a permanent settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on United Nation Resolutions 242 and 338. It also led to the creation of the Palestinian Authority (PA) as part of the 1995 Oslo Interim Agreement. Yasser Arafat became President of the PA. A series of agreements between the Israeli government and the PA followed, known collectively as the Oslo Agreements. The Oslo Process was set back with the assassination of Rabin in November 1995, and by a wave of Palestinian suicide bombings as well as a major Israeli attack on Lebanon in 1996. The election of Benjamin Netanyahu, who had opposed the Oslo Agreements, as Israeli Prime Minister in May 1996 made continuing the Process more difficult. After the failure of the Camp David (II) Summit in 2000 and the subsequent outbreak of the Second Intifada, the Oslo Process ended. In retrospect, majorities of both sides tend to see the Process as a mistake, with each side convinced the other had no real intention of making peace. See Smith, Charles D. Palestine and the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 5th ed. Boston: University of Arizona, 2004; and "The Oslo Declaration of Principles." 13 September 1993.

(For more from the 2012 Silver State Nitro Challenge, click here.)
Just after attending the Neo12 race in the UK, it was time to get to wrenching for the 15th Annual Silver State Nitro Challenge! Wow 15 years, that's hard to believe. I remember the first Silver State event at the Motocross park in Las Vegas; what stood out at that event was that Mark Pavidis failed to finish every qualifier and although he had to bump from the very lowest main he went on to win the event. The 2nd annual Silver State moved to the "Junk Yard," where it stayed for many years to come, which was actually a nice facility located next to a Volkswagen junk yard. I can't remember exactly how many years were at the Junk Yard, but it was moved to a much larger track at the Silver Bowl Park located across the street from Sam Boyd Stadium. That's the track where I won my very first Silver State, in 2004. The event was held at the park for a few years and later moved to the current Boulder City track (two years ago it went back to the Silver Bowl Park and back to Boulder City). The Boulder City track has been by far the most mentally, physically, and challenging conditions we see each year. Normally you have to deal with extreme wind, cold, dust, sometimes snow and rain, and not to mention the track which in the past got extremely bumpy! But I'm down for that challenge, dealing with that makes you better. At this year's Silver State, things were very different from past races at Boulder City. The weather was great (little warm at times) and track conditions held up extremely well. The only inconsistency was the whoop section that consisted of 7 good size whoops in which the rhythm changed nearly every round, but it actually got easier as the race went on. Early in the event the line I liked was to triple in and maybe try to squeeze in another double, but most of the time it was triple in and hold on while singling the remaining whoops. As the rounds went on the gap between the whoops got larger and became easier to either double-double-triple or double-triple-double the section.
This year's A Main Hobbies team had six drivers on hand: Dylan Rodriquez, Barry Baker, Curtis Door, Marty Korn, Kendall Bennett and myself. Dylan and Barry got off to a great start, both setting times in the top ten in the Pro Buggy Class. Barry dominated the 40 and over class against some very fast drivers. Curtis Door ran extremely fast as well, but had run time issues nearly every run. I was my usual self in qualifying, being too conservative and trying to be too consistent instead of pushing my car to go fast. Marty Korn welcomed their first addition to their family, baby Stella, just one month ago, so he hasn't had time at the track he would of liked before the event. However Marty is itching to get back up to speed in preparation for the Nats and Worlds later this year. I qualified sixth in the B main, got a decent start, found some good lines around the track (which was starting to get a little bumpy), and minimized my mistakes in the 20 minute B main. I finished the B in 2nd place and got a spot for the 45 minute Pro Buggy main. I got a great start in the main, just behind the main battle for the lead. I swapped positions with Cavaleri early on (who went on to win the event), but one thing that I have to fix is my left hand from falling asleep and cramping on me (this has been an issue for the past ten years) it usually occurs around the 15 minute mark of a race and then I can't feel my left hand. Later in the race I found myself racing for 5th-7th with Adam Drake and Cody King, who finished just ahead of me in the 5th and 6th spots. I was really happy with my equipment: Mugen MBX6R US Spec, Werks B2 engine and fuel, Pro-Line tires, and ProTek R/C accessories. I'm not sure exactly what the next major event is, but I have some new ProTek R/C equipment to be testing at club races as well as hitting up a few JBRL races. I would like to thank all my A Main Hobbies teammates, all of who gel together to share info and all that good stuff, Aaron "Corner Sniper" Waldron, Dave "Double D Dog" Door, Kendall "Big Boss Man" Bennett for all the pit help during the race, the employees at A Main Hobbies, and especially the customers of A Main Hobbies.com for making this all possible.
See ya at the track,
Chad Bradley

Moar BMxnails photo!
Sister's birthday mani! Super cute! And totally matches her birthday leggings! I'm sorry BM! I will never cheat on you ever again.
Americaaaaaa nails! Wee. I'm just gonna start using my BM legs as inspiration for nail art! ^_^
A simple trick with this one was to use good ol' sticky tape and an empty pen for the "stars" ;) Good luck!
Eep! Help! How do I fix this?!
Not nail related, but I can't help but share my excitement. NEW BM!
I get lazy sometimes when trying complicated styles, so nail wraps are the next best thing! The only bad thing is the filing can take a while and to get your cuticles into the right shape can be tedious! But give it a go for all you nail beginners and busy people :)
Some aqua accessory lovin'
Having BlackMilk reblog this on Instagram was one of the best feelings ever. Even though they aren't my legs or nails, I'm proud that the nail art was my work. :)

When you see a flier with a picture of a girl screaming as she is being -- ahem -- serviced in a stall of a Mexican washroom, you should name your band after the lone word describing the scene: Kinky.
That's what Gilberto Cerezo and mates did a while back, even though the English expression wasn't well known in Monterrey, Mexico, a surprisingly hip town that spawned other luminaries in the rocanrol bastion, such as Control Machete, Plastilina Mosh, and El Gran Silencio.
Kinky may have been born from a groan, but it was accomplished enough as a band to be discovered by Brit producer Chris Allison (Coldplay, Beta Band). Since then, it has developed into one of the most potent and spirited outfits to grace the North American stage. Funky, electronic and bilingual, Kinky is touring in support of Atlas, a follow-up to its acclaimed self-titled 2001 album, which contained several songs that showed up on American television shows and commercials (Nip/Tuck, Kingpin and Nissan ads).
How cool is Kinky? Cool enough to have a Keith Moon-style story about their cowboy-hat-sporting, norteño bad-ass-looking bass player Cesar Pliego. Cerezo recalls an early show: "He was really drunk one night. He came to me and said, It would be really cool to play with youguys.' Thanks to the beer, he joined us."
Can't front on those alcoholic rock 'n' roll credentials -- especially since the beer was Mexican.

The old pub which, it says here, earned its name because it was built from ships abandoned in the Tees 260 years ago, has recently undergone a refurbishment complete with ship's rope, model ships on the wall, ship's timber poles, ship's lanterns, pictures of sailing ships...you get the idea.

The Marine, 13 Marine Parade, Whitby YO21 3PR
12:20pm Friday 22nd August 2014
AS a fairly regular visitor to Whitby, I'm not sure how I missed this but it's a fact nevertheless – the place has gone a bit posh.
Lucky House Chinese Restaurant & Takeaway, 27 The Bank, Barnard Castle

WE'RE well-versed in the noble art of finding our way to a cheap-(ish) family meal out in smart-(ish) surroundings and The Purple Pig seemed a perfect place.
Grantham Arms, Milby, Boroughbridge, York
3:56pm Friday 11th July 2014
ARRIVING in Boroughbridge on a warm, drowsy summer Sunday lunchtime, it's hard to imagine the days when this town was a dusty, choked staging post on the old A1, reduced to little more than a refreshment stop for folk travelling north or south.
Lord Stones Restaurant and Grill

11:23am Friday 13th June 2014
REALISING I've never written a no-messing-about, noholds- barred, you-can't-bendit, really scathing review the thought struck: 'I'm too soft.' Maybe, just too filled with the bonhomie of enjoying a meal with a couple of drinks, I'd soft-pedalled on some legitimate criticism, even if I had not failed altogether in my duty to report it.
Taste of Arabia, 50-52, Borough Road, Middlesbrough
12:59pm Friday 6th June 2014
FROM the sublime to the ridiculous, to the slightly surreal. The omens had not been good for this night out. The first two options were shut on a Sunday and closed for refurbishment, respectively.
The Black Bull, Moulton, Richmond
4:41pm Friday 30th May 2014
IT is probably the most eagerly anticipated restaurant open since the ultimately ill-founded rumour that Jamie Oliver was to open one of his FIFTEEN restaurants in Middlesbrough.
The Fox Hall Inn, East Layton, Richmond
3:27pm Friday 23rd May 2014
HAVING heard nothing but good things about the Fox Hall Inn since its purchase by the Barker family, we were delighted to be asked to review it, the editor having previously called on spec only to find no room at the inn.
The Dog & Gun, Cooper Lane, Potto, near Yarm
2:47pm Friday 16th May 2014
THERE was once a hostelry in this small, oddly-named village, known to all as The Pub That Never Opened.
The Green Dragon, Exelby, Bedale
3:20pm Friday 9th May 2014
NOT many kitchens glory in an engraved potato peeler. Ours does. It sits, unused and pristine in pride of place on the plate rack, adorned with a date in 2007, our names and those of two dear friends. Oh, and one other word: "Result!"
The White Swan, 51 High Street, Gilling West, near Richmond
3:59pm Friday 2nd May 2014
IT was one of those evenings when the bestlaid plans took us somewhere we really didn't expect to be.
Kill the chill and I'll be back for more

ANOTHER week, another Indian restaurant opens in Darlington. Such are the comings and goings of this particular ethnic cuisine, a new opening hardly counts for anything these days. So what if yet another Bangladeshi curry house is making a pitch for the five-pints-of-Cobra-and-avindaloo market?
The County, The Green, Aycliffe Village
2:21pm Friday 11th April 2014
ONE has to feel sorry for the couple who run The County in Aycliffe Village. For Stuart Dale and Colette Farrell run a famous pub.
Brasserie Hudson Way, Middlesbrough
3:25pm Friday 4th April 2014
IF I was mayor of Middlesbrough and trying to woo some big-time investors into parting with millions, this is where I would bring them – and let the view at sunset do the talking.
The Park, Sutton on the Forest, York
12:22pm Friday 28th March 2014
IF YOU like plenty of choice, then you might panic at the thought of being faced with a single option on the menu.
Penleys Cafe and Bistro, Leyburn
4:12pm Friday 21st March 2014
TO Leyburn on a beautiful spring Saturday morning. I had business at the auction mart, Sylvia had a coffee rendezvous with a friend – and shopping.
Bistro 21, Aykley Heads, Durham
3:52pm Friday 14th March 2014
IT says much of what the uninitiated would need to know about Bistro 21 that when we told friends of our plans for a cold, wet Wednesday in mid-February, a quiet, unspoken envy would cloud their eyes.
Haynes Arms, Kirby Sigston, Northallerton
11:18am Friday 7th March 2014
IT'S hard to think of a road – particularly one as prosaic as the A19 – as a conduit for anything special. It is just a functional connector, the A1's poor relation, between Doncaster and Seaton Burn in Northumberland and who wants to go to either of those places?
The Corner House Hotel, Leeming Bar
3:01pm Friday 28th February 2014
ONE of our party on this night out has a very serious head for figures. With a high-flying accountant among us, I know we'll have no problem sorting out the bill at the end of the meal.
Knitsley Farm Shop and Granary Cafe, East Knitsley Farm Shop, Consett
3:44pm Friday 21st February 2014
A READER recently took us to task for reviewing breakfasts on the grounds that it wasn't most people's idea of a meal out.
Fox and Hounds, Teesway, Neasham, Darlington
3:33pm Friday 14th February 2014
THE search for a pub meal within easy striking distance of home brought us to the Fox and Hounds at Neasham, just south-east of Darlington.
Bettys Northallerton, High Street, Northallerton
2:03pm Friday 7th February 2014
WE'RE in the middle of a cost-ofliving crisis, the politicians (well some) are telling us. Wages still lag behind inflation so we've less to spend.
The Crathorne Arms, Crathorne, North Yorkshire
3:30pm Friday 31st January 2014
WITH no fanfare whatsoever, not a single press release, not even a sign outside the pub door, one of our few genuine culinary superstars has opened a new pub-restaurant.
The Stables Restaurant, Best Westem Beamish Hall, Beamish
1:58pm Friday 24th January 2014
I DO love a top notch Sunday lunch in posh surroundings – the posher the better really. An expensive hotel, a small stately home, a yacht on the Med, that's the sort of thing I'm talking about.
The Cleveland Tontine, Staddlebridge, Northallerton
4:00pm Friday 10th January 2014
Limited access for disabled at the moment. ONE day long ago I got on my bike, rode down the A19 the seven or so miles to the Cleveland Tontine (don't try this from home, kids) and asked for a job.
The Tuns, Sadberge, Darlington
4:03pm Friday 3rd January 2014
THE new year starts rather where we left off in 2013 – lauding the rebirth of the village pub.
Proof is in pudding for village pubs
12:30pm Monday 6th January 2014
THIS really has been the year of the country pub. Time after time in 2013 we came across rejuvenated village inns, many reopened after periods shut.
Bells, Market Place, Durham
11:17am Friday 20th December 2013
I HAVE a theory. Admittedly, it's not much of a theory, and not the sort of theory that would stand up to much scrutiny.
Los Toreros Muertos, The Bank, Barnard Castle
12:57pm Friday 13th December 2013
THERE we were, a trio of friends determined to celebrate our December birthdays, bemoaning the fact every eatery was sure to be decked with festive decorations.
Houndgate Town House Hotel, Darlington
2:59pm Friday 6th December 2013
GOSH, this finedining malarkey is really catching on in Darlington.
Artisan bakery rises to the occasion
2:23pm Friday 29th November 2013
IT'S confession time again. Following my admission two weeks ago of the great Frenchgate Hotel flooring gaff, I feel the need to don the hair shirt again and tell you of a further editor's misdemeanour.
Quayside deserves some limelight
3:35pm Friday 22nd November 2013
The food here still cannot be flawed
12:01pm Friday 15th November 2013
WE start with an apology. Eight years ago, when we last visited Richmond's Frenchgate Hotel, we made not one, but two, references to laminate flooring.
Identikit pub but the food's just fine
1:10pm Friday 8th November 2013
WE meandered into this modern, brightly lit chain-pub, spied laughing post-work drinkers, noted the relaxed-if-slightly loud atmosphere and thought we knew what we were in for: standard, warmed-up pub grub.
Gourmet menu that hits the Spot
11:59am Friday 1st November 2013
WHEN Stephen Hardy, head chef at The Gourmet Spot – widely recognised as one of the region's finest eating destinations – learned I had visited for the purposes of these pages, he admitted to "a little bit of nervousness".
Dropswell Farm Shop & Cafe, Trimdon Station, County Durham
3:43pm Friday 25th October 2013
IDON'T know where last week went. A butchers' dinner, a mayor's ball, Sunday lunch (on Saturday) at Countryside Live in Harrogate and a wife with a chest infection which kept her confined to barracks and barking like a dog.
Richmond Grill & Brasserie, 2/3 Trinity Church Square, Richmond
3:58pm Friday 18th October 2013
RESTAURANT openings are rare in Richmond so when Richmond Grill and Brasserie came in July it caused a bit of a stir.
Whinstone View Bistro, Great Ayton
4:21pm Friday 11th October 2013
IT has taken a long time to get to Whinstone View Bistro but it has not been for the want of trying.
The Three Horseshoes: Barnard Castle
4:06pm Friday 4th October 2013
ALTHOUGH the Three Horseshoes pub in Barnard Castle was closed for nearly three years, its prominent position opposite the post office ensured its future remained a constant topic of conversation.
The Angel at Topcliffe
2:45pm Friday 27th September 2013
NOW I'd not set foot in The Angel before, despite driving past it on Topcliffe's main drag many times.

Cashew Romesco Chicken Thighs
Photo: Iain Bagwell; Styling: Randy Mon
Made with cashews, this romesco, given to us by Josh Drage, chef at the Ranch at Rock Creek in Philipsburg, Montana, has a silkier texture and sweeter flavor than the classic sauce made with almonds. He brushes it onto grilled chicken, but it would also be good swirled into a creamy soup.

Robustly and distinctly sherried on the nose, it is only on "opening" that its salty and maritime heritage is revealed, so what a surprise on the palate when the phenolic qualities of Islay impact massively, combined with ginger and all manner of tongue-tingling spices together with the sherry's fructiferousness [Note: This is not a misprint. We think they might mean 'abundant fruitiness' - TF.]
Its finish is long, smoky and spicy, with the typical Port Ellen leathery characteristics.

In the up and down career of Lucio Fulci, "The New York Ripper" comes as something of a revelation. Right smack dab in the middle of Fulci's "can't lose" phase (1981), this ripper tale is a striking giallo that at times rivals the work of Dario Argento, a man Fulci will always be compared to.
Is "Ginger Dead Man 2: Passion of the Crust" the best title ever? Yes, yes it is my friends. Also,
target="_blank">the trailer's not too shabby either. I'm assuming if you enjoyed the original film, then this one will deliver more of the same (except Gary Busey, how dare they!). Plus, this time it's got 80's scream queen Michelle Bauer, so... it's got that going for it.
I'm not sure which is more shocking, that Sylvester Stallone has written a bio-pic about the late Edgar Allen Poe, or
href="http://joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=11436" target="_blank">that someone reviewed it and liked it. I guess stranger things have happened, but to be honest I can't think of any off the top of my head.
cloverfield-lead.html" target="_blank">This interview with the creature designer from "Cloverfield" reveals some previously unknown details about old Clovie, including the reason for those strange appendages on it's belly, and the motivation of those little "parasite" duders that fall from the creature. It's not huge news, unless you're a total nerd for this movie like me. Read on for more.
Naomi Watts
target="_blank">has some thoughts on both the remake of "Funny Games" (in theaters this month) and "The Birds" (some time next year) that she's starring in. Despite the fact that she's becoming the remake queen, that lesbian scene in "Mulholland Drive" has bought her at least a few more years of amnesty in my eyes. So, check the link if you're interested.
A Dallas mother threw her two children, 6 and 8, off of an overpass during rush hour, and then proceeded to jump herself. The kicker?

Yesterday I was posting creepy midget videos, and today it's
target="_blank">creepy trailers. At the link, find the new trailer for "The Strangers", a home invasion flick starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman. After many delays, this film will finally be hitting theaters May 30th of this year.
Perhaps to wash the taste of "Diary of the Dead" out of our mouths, this year will see a special HD theatrical release of Romero's "Night of the Living Dead", in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the film. There are no real details other than that, so keep your eyes peeled for more!
Sort of good news for the "Rosemary's Baby" remake today, Platinum Dunes has made a statement about their intentions, and it seems they are going to be very faithful to the original. They state, "Platinum Dunes plans to be meticulous with the remake, knowing it has been entrusted with a jewel from the Paramount library."
target="_blank">The clips are starting to roll in for "The Ruins", to be released April 4th. I don't know what it is about this flick, but every time I see
target="_blank">the trailer I'm completely transfixed. I just have to know what the hell is going on. Hopefully I won't be disappointed when all is revealed.
Wait, Charlie Sheen is
target="_blank">starring in a revenge themed horror flick from Twisted Pictures? That seems just crazy enough to work. You've gotta love Sheen, but I haven't really seen him in years, since I refuse to watch the comedic-abortion "Two and a Half Men"... so hopefully this will turn out to be watchable.
Finally today, I'm being told that the trailer for "The Lost Boys 2" was supposed to show up on this page (over at MTV Films) at 8am this morning. As of this moment, it's still not up, but you can check the link to see if it's there yet. As soon as I get a chance to see it you can be sure I'll chime in. Would you expect anything less?
Esquire is

1980: A Chicago jury finds John Wayne Gacy guilty of the murders of 33 men and boys. The next day, he is sentenced to death; after years on death row, Gacy is finally executed in May 10, 1994.
A group of twenty somethings head out to Halcyon Ridge for a weekend camping trip. All seems normal as the foursome meets up and sets up camp. Upon arriving at the camp site, they are first greeted by the friendly bar proprietor of the small town who talks them into cleaning out his cabin in exchange for a night of free drinks.
Neil Marshall's next film has been greenlit by Rogue Pictures, and it will be called "Sacrilege". The film, set in the Old West during the Gold Rush, is being described as "Unforgiven by way of H.P. Lovecraft, with that grim, gritty setting and a horror element nobody has seen before." I'm sold. Marshall's great with those small horror flicks based around that feeling of isolation, as both "The Descent" and "Dog Soldiers" proved. This Friday will see the release of his next film "Doomsday", so we'll soon find out if he's as good on a large scale as he is on a small one.
target="_blank">Here is the poster for a film called "Zombies Zombies Zombies!", with the tagline "Strippers VS Zombies".... not to be confused with Friday's story about "Zombie Strippers". I see a theme emerging here.
Edgar Wright ("Shaun of the Dead", "Hot Fuzz") is out talking up his next project,
target="_blank">an adaptation of the Marvel comic "Ant-Man". He has this to say about the project: "It's going to be less overtly comedic than anything else I've ever done. It's more of a full-on action adventure sci-fi film but with a comedic element – in the same spirit of a lot of escapist fare like that. It's certainly not a superhero spoof
or pastiche and it certainly isn't a sort of 'Honey I Shrunk The Kids' endeavor at all." I'm not saying they're scraping the bottom of the comic book barrel here, but what's next? Termite man?
Next up on the remake block? 1978's "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes". And in news that will make Mark's head explode, it's being written by the two doofs behind AskANinja.com. There are so many things wrong with this story it's hard to know where to start. The original film is one of the best low-budget masterpieces ever made, but I'm sure the remake will replace the wonderfully quaint giant tomatoes with some type of deplorable CGI... and really, who wants to see that? I realize it's funny that I'm getting worked up about this, but come on, it's Killer Tomatoes!
We can all rest easy, because The Vatican
target="_blank">has released a new list of sins for the 21st century to steer clear of. THANK GOD, because when I woke up this morning my first thought was "Gee, I can't think for myself, I really wish someone sets me straight today"." On a related note, I plan on breaking at least 3 of these today. Stay tuned for more.
A Thai man has been arrested after
wbangkok108.xml" target="_blank">killing 8 of his neighbors, reportedly because they wouldn't shut down their karaoke party. The song that set him off? "Country Roads" by John Denver (which for some bizarre reason is apparently a huge hit in Thailand). It's not every day that John Denver sends someone into a homicidal rage, but In all fairness, he did warn them that he would kill them if they didn't stop. There was one survivor, who was sober enough to have the idea of playing dead.
Oh, and finally today, it's official: The Governor of NY is a poon-hound. This is the part where all the self-righteous politicians (most of whom have done the same exact thing, trust me) come out of the wood work and spew some of the worst hypocrisy you've ever heard. Although I will say, he's got a pretty hot wife... it's not like he's married to this... in which case I'd have to say, I understand.
1669: After a series of warning earthquakes near Mount Etna, the largest volcano in Europe spectacularly erupts, destroying the Sicilian town of Nicolosi and killing 20,000 people.

Drums and Tuba
BiographyFormed in 1994, this Post-Rock trio (drums, tuba, guitar) first gained notice on college radio stations about three years later. Despite having one of the goofiest and most unwieldy instruments in the world as their centerpiece, the band somehow manage to lay down irresistible grooves that are as funky as they are quirky.
