10 bearings for a dollar each!? These are ideal for race days, New set in the morning for the qualifiers and a new set in the afternoon for the final/mains. Clutch bearings are consumable and these hit the mark for the right quality at the right price. Why pay more?

I was blowing heaps of these. Went to the TKO ones and no more problems. You can see the difference, the cheap ones the balls only just go half way around the race. The tko there are balls all the way around the race.

if your clutch bell is aligned right on the spur gear these will last a gallon easy. i put a drop of 3n1 between races just so they don't get corroded at all. i only change them when i can't remember how long they have been in there.

Buy Them / Use Them / Love Them (Nitro 1/8th on-road Centax Clutch) gap & set clutch play right and they'll last for ever :) my first pack died fast was setting clutch play wrong, on my second pack an first 3 bearing out of that pack 1 failed 4 months now same 2 ..... 7 more to go:), I race every Sunday about 2hrs total. (I removed all two rubber seals)

Great bearings.. Have a full race weekend on the same pair and they feel as good as when I took them out of the case.. Great product and will continue to use Protek bearings.
Merdith Roach
These bearings came with the ProTek clutchbells I use and I was impressed with the quality. Much better than other $1 bearings with the exception of the Boca brand. They fit perfectly on the crankshaft, a big issue with other bearings of lesser quality and the seem to be sealed a little better too, and come full of grease like I prefer. I can clean these bearings after a raceday, re-oil them and get at least another raceday out of them if not two. A big difference from the others I've used.

Great bearings for the stock Xray XT8 pinion. They outlast anything I've used to date. I just ordered two more packages
Verified Owner
Bought a set of these for use on my Jammin's clutch and was very disappointed. Installed them and ran one race (say 7 tanks of fuel) and both bearings failed. I have installed 5 of these bearings so far and they've either become gritty or fell apart. I know the issue isn't my car since the stock Ofna bearings lasted over a gallon before they started to become gritty and were replaced by these. I know they are cheap, but come on, 7 tanks? Save your $10 and get something more reliable.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Mguy247 Nice Have pulled back while using properly but other than that this works very well. When I pulled my back I was using a large amount of weight October 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by keithu1024 Just what I was looking for This weight belt is exactly what I was looking for. It is well made, sturdy and provides good support. It has a nice adequate amount of padding. I would recommend this belt. August 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jay Great buy This belt gives the support I needed as well as the quality of it stands up to the purpose of what it need to do August 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Grandma6 This product matched the description and specs my grandson gave me. This was a gift for my grandson and he was very happy and impressed with the belt. July 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Bennovember Weight lifting belt. This is a good product for the price that I paid, but the material a little hard so.... it'll take some time to beak it in. July 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Glenn136 High quality for a low price I recently started lifting barbells instead of only dumbbells. Do to back pain I needed the support of a belt. A lot of people are against using belts because they say they make your back weak. For me I already had an injury and don't need another. I have used it for a couple of weeks now and am pleased! The padded lining is comfortable. The belt is very rigid! Almost too rigid, but anyone that knows leather knows there is always a break in period. July 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Andrew39 Solid belt The belt is VERY stiff at purchase, so consider buying a leather softener. I've had mine two weeks and it is still stiff. Also, the sizing seems off: I'm 38-40 waist and my "XL" belt seems more like a large. If you're a really big dude, the XL will not fit you. Other than that, this is a well constructed traditional weight belt. Once it is properly broken in, this is ideal for pushing heavier weights that the velcro models aren't really suited for. July 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by McKenna Great belt Built for support. Glad I purchased it for my dead lifts. July 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Trevor Weight belt To big for me, going with the 4" next time, too wide to squat, clean, snatch. June 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by jesse27 This product has great back support This belt has a great feel and relieves stress on the lower back. May 29, 2014

I was once having a talk with somebody about anarcho-capitalism, and what that person was worried about, above all things (go figure) was "freedom of expression gone too far." This is him asking how something like, say, public nudity would be handled in a free society, or racist talk being "speech used to oppress others mentally."
How do you respond to something like that?
Private property rights.
You can say anything in your property, but in other people's property you must follow their rules.
"Since people are concerned that 'X' will not be provided, 'X' will naturally be provided by those who are concerned by its absence.""The sweetest of minds can harbor the harshest of men."
Would there be any place that isn't owned by someone?
Personally, I'm partial to Penn Jillette's response that "the answer to BAD speech is MORE speech."
If someone is walking around naked, point and laught at his tiny willy. Or if he's hung like a bear, make fun of him for being a mutant freak. If it's a hot chick, just sit back and enjoy.
If it's some racist lunatic, they usually make themselves look like fools more than anyone else.
Or just ignore them. It's a very small contingent that would ever actually do these things anyway. Go to any large city with a considerable vagrant population and you can witness this "excessive" freedom of expression already, so it's not as though the state shields us from it now.
What keeps most people in line is how they're regarded by their peers, not the fear of a cop swooping in and dragging them off to jail.
Very good point, thanks.
Racist speech is currently legally allowed, so...
Yes, but there are people out there who view it as a form of oppressing others. I personally find racism despicable, but I'm all for freedom of speech. How do you reconcile the two?
You don't trade with them?
Oh and congrats on the 4000th post.
I think Wheylous means vote with your dollars - exclude them from any business dealings.
(and congrats to Mr. W on post # 4,000!)
Ah, I see. I have a feeling that at some point we will eventually evolve past racism in the same way we are evolving past the state right now. Just look at little kids - they don't see each other as black, white, or brown. It's the adults who pass that on.
I was once having a talk with somebody about anarcho-capitalism, and what that person was worried about, above all things (go figure) was "freedom of expression gone too far." This is him asking how something like, say, public nudity would be handled in a free society, or racist talk being "speech used to oppress others mentally."
How do you respond to something like that?
As for public nudity, the streets, sidewalks, "public" areas would all be owned and have terms of use. The owners would simply escort them off the property if they go nude against their will. Public-access areas will be things like shopping malls, streets, parks--all privately owned.
As for racism, it is its own punishment. Let's say that X only like tall blond swedes. He refuses to rent to anyone but those kinds of people. He will have to spend a very long time and go through very many applicants looking for his prefered tenant, thus costing him very much money.
Similarly, any company that refused to hire say, hispanic women, would expose itself both to boycott risks and gaining a bad name for it, and also have to turn away any hispanic women from working or shopping there, which would be direct financial harm.
This is why businessman typically are very conservative, not wanting to piss off any customer group at all.
SkepticalMetal:Would there be any place that isn't owned by someone?
No, none at all. Anything not owned by someone is by definition unowned. This is why gov claims to own land within its jurisdiction is illegitimate. The US gov claims ownership on some 25% of the country, which claim it made by fiat, without homesteading, without trading for the land.
SM: Suggest you read Rothbard's Ethics of Liberty asap. It's both an enjoyable read and addresses this and many other such questions directly :)
We are all racists.
It is merely a preference.
Some people like black girls, some like white girls, some like asian (i love asian), some like hispanics....
Some dislike other kinds of races, etc, etc
It is merely a preference. But the time when it is despicable is when you outright use force to harm a person, that is when its wrong.
And also yes, a store owner that rejects blacks, and hispanics will lose money (decreased amount of customers) and suffer from shitty reputation wheras other customers (like you) wont buy from them.
So economically it is the best policy to maintain a race neutral policy.
I agree, I think it's ridiculous and counter productive to crusade for "eradicating racism". The best cure for racism is allowing people to decide for themselves that it's foolish. It just takes time, real education, and for the state and leftists to quit reinforcing the same old elements of racism in their rhetoric and policy.
That being said, I think "racism" (which has basically become nothing more than a toxic branding tool) is endemic to humanity and cannot be eradicated in the first place. It's the same natural discrimination that we all develop naturally in the course of experience, environment, and genetics. It's neither good nor bad. And it's not even about race per se. It's every physical and personality factor. So what? As long as it's not manifested in something that is explicitly destructive, then all of the other aspects of our natural preferences will regulate themselves. Like Kelvin said, a store owner that rejects blacks will go out of business very quickly.
I know, it's TownHall, but I confess that I appreciate Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell regardless.
Hmm. Very good points, all of you. I've always viewed racism as an ugly form of collectivism that goes against the very fabric of individualism, but I guess "discrimination" in the true sense of the word is used everyday by people who don't even know they are doing it.
Let's use the term racism correctly. Racism is the belief in the inherent superiority of one race over another. I don't know anyone who espouses such views. There are, however, many racial stereotypes predicated on behavior. Stereotypes are based in reality, and there is nothing wrong with the observations they make. Unfortunately, racism has been used as a blanket term by the Democrat Party to include any statement merely involving the aspect of race.
There's also nothing wrong with discrimination, such as in preference for the opposite sex.

Nature's Most Amazing Events Blu Ray Disc Set takes you from the Great Melt of the Arctic to the Great Feast of the Pacific Northwest as animals react to natures ever-changing ways. In each of the areas it is a race for survival as native herds are forced to battle for resources. Nature's Blu Ray DVD Most Amazing Events captures of film the migration of Elephants, Buffalo, Whales and more.
Nature's Most Amazing Events Videos
Nature's Most Amazing Events Videos
- Kalahari Flood: In the Nature's Most Amazing Events Blu Ray watch as at the peak of the dry season in the Kalahari desert lands herds of elephants trek towards a life-saving event. These resourceful elephants reveal remarkable new behaviors as they try to make the most of the stagnant pools, arid woodlands and waterholes guarded by lion prides. During the Nature's Blu Ray DVD you watch as their fortunes change dramatically with the annual flooding of Botswana's Okavango Delta, which turns 4,000 square miles of desert into a maze of lagoons, islands and swamps. As millions of animals are drawn to this wetland, including great herds of famished elephants and buffalo, the scene is set for some of the greatest clashes in nature. Using a range of high definition filming techniques over two years, Nature's Great Events follows their fortunes.
During the wildlife Blu Ray DVD Nature's Most Amazing Events, A herd of the elephants look to be on a suicide mission as they head from the woodlands of northern Botswana to the parched sands of the delta a place that appears to hold little food and water. Incredibly, the experienced matriarchs time their arrival at the delta to coincide with the great flood, when water and lush grasses are abundant.Buy the Nature's Most Amazing Events Blu Ray Disc Set, and be transported from the Kalahari to the Pacific Northwest as nature goes to extremes.
Nature's Most Amazing Events videos follow these resourceful elephants on their journey, revealing new and remarkable behaviors. They film the way they use their trunks to siphon clean water from the surface layers of a stagnant pool, while avoiding stirring up the muddy sediment on the bottom with their feet. Also in Nature's Most Amazing Events Blu Ray, bull hippos converge on prime territories formed by the rising floodwater. They assert their dominance and gain mating rights with the females. The explosive force of these two-ton giants is captured on film as two big bulls do bloody battle at times being lifted out of the water by their rival. Lechwe swamp deer, zebra, giraffe, crocodiles and numerous fish all invade the wetlands.
Countless thousands of birds also arrive in the delta, to enjoy the seasonal bounty during this time of abundance. And in a phenomenon never before filmed in the Okavango, thousands of dragonflies appear seemingly from nowhere within minutes of the flood arrival, mating and laying eggs. As the flood finally reaches its peak, elephants and buffalo, near the end of their epic trek across the desert, face the final gauntlet of a hungry pride of lions.
Pacific Feast: The Great Feast when spring falls on the Pacific Northwest coast of America it sets off a race for survival that calls all native predators to the starting block. Herring rush to spawn, and predators, sea otters, killer whales and seals attack the shoals for an easy meal. Humpback whales make an epic journey across the Pacific to feed, but for a young humpback, it's the most dangerous time of life.
Grizzly Wilderness: The temperate rainforest of British Columbia, Canada, harbors more life than any other forest in the world. Cloaked by the planet's tallest trees, the last big carnivores of North America roam free the great grizzly bear and forest wolf. Yet their survival depends entirely on one great event that runs up the forest rivers just once a year. As the rivers teem with spawning salmon the bears and wolves are drawn together and a deadly conflict unfolds.
Arctic Summer: The Great Melt. The massive Arctic snow melt triggers a chain reaction causing the dramatic arrival of millions of animals that now must share one habitat. Snow geese swirl across the skies, wolves stalk the tundra, and seals, walrus and narwhals cruise the seas. On the ice, polar bears and foxes search desperately for food. For a caribou and her calf, it will be a struggle of life and death.
Surviving The Serengeti: The parched grassland of East Africa's famous Serengeti plain is the arena for bitter rivalries between warring cheetahs, lions and hyenas as they struggle over meager pickings. But with the arrival of the annual rains the plains momentarily flush green with fresh grass drawing in the greatest concentration of large animals on the Planet. Over two million wildebeest, zebra and Thomson's gazelle have undergone an epic journey crossing crocodile infested rivers to graze here but how will they survive the arena of carnivores?
Army of Predators: As winter arrives along South Africa's east coast the inshore waters cool, drawing billions of sardines northwards from the Cape to feed on the plankton-rich soup. The Sardine Run is the greatest marine spectacle on the planet, attracting an awe-inspiring cast of ocean predators. Mega pods of common dolphins, battalions of sharks and greedy Brydes whales feast on the sardines as gannets rain down from above. For African Penguins and bottlenose dolphins this movement of sardines is the defining moment of their lives.

WHAT: San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge
WHERE: Entrance is at 2714 Dairy Road in Vernalis
DETAILS: In addition to housing the riparian brush rabbit and a variety of birds, the refuge has hiking trails and picnic areas for the public.
VERNALIS — It's hard enough trying to track down an endangered species, but the reclusive nature of the riparian brush rabbit can make things particularly challenging for researchers.
Still, a team from the Endangered Species Recovery Program at California State University, Stanislaus, has been diligent tracking the small cottontail that is native to forested areas along the San Joaquin River and Stanislaus River.
"Even when they're right in front of you, it's hard to see them, because they're right in the brush," said Patrick Kelly, director of the program. "They're secretive. As soon as they see you, they feel vulnerable."
With the help of corncobs rolled in molasses and applesauce, biologists were able to lure and track 10 of the scarce rabbits during the past two weeks at the San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge about 20 miles north of Patterson.
The work, which started Oct. 29 and finished Nov. 8, was part of a twice-yearly census run by the ESRP to keep tabs on the general activity of the endangered species.
Kelly said the rabbit is important because it is an "umbrella species" — one that is equally or more sensitive to habitat changes than other species that live in the same area. Scientists have concluded that if riparian brush rabbit's habitat needs are supplied, the needs of other species are being met, too.
"All of this should be viewed as an ecosystem restoration," Kelly said. "It's the restoration of a habitat type that has diminished drastically, really since the Gold Rush."
While the study cannot definitively say how many of the rabbits exist in the refuge, it gives biologists a year-to-year comparison, explained Tristan Edgarian, a wildlife biologist with the ESRP.
A species on the edge
Biologists found seven rabbits in the spring and nine rabbits during a fall 2011 survey, Edgarian said.
The rabbit population was nearly wiped out by flooding in 2006, shortly after the animals were reintroduced to the wildlife refuge, he said. However, they fared much better when flooding occurred in the refuge in 2011, in large part due to restoration of native plants and the addition of brush-covered mounds of soil that helps serve as a refuge, Edgarian said.
Compared with the larger desert cottontails that also occupy the refuge, brush rabbits are more hesitant to leave brush-covered areas for fear of predators. Edgarian added that they can be swept away by floodwaters or picked off by predators.
Since the 2006 floods, Chico-based nonprofit River Partners has created habitat to help the rabbit and other native species. The group's contributions include vegetation-rich "bunny mounds" of earth topped with native plants.
Such efforts appear to be succeeding, Edgarian said. Based on the size of one rabbit he found Nov. 8, the biologist determined it was more than 1 year old — and therefore must have survived the 2011 floods.
"This showed that all the work that we're doing with the mounds and the vegetation has worked," Edgarian said.
In addition to being funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, work to restore the riparian brush rabbit and its habitat has been supported by an $8 million grant from the state-federal CalFed program, which seeks to address Delta restoration and farm water needs. Restoration efforts also have been supplemented by $750,000 from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Rabbits make a comeback
An estimated 110,000 individual riparian brush rabbits once inhabited that historical range, according to the ESRP website.
But the population dropped dramatically starting in the 1940s, when dams — constructed for irrigation and flood control — were built on the major rivers of the Central Valley, according to the ESRP.
About 90 percent of their habitat was eventually destroyed.
Biologists estimated in 1993 that perhaps as few as 312 of the rabbits existed, all in Caswell State Park near Ripon. Even that number dwindled following massive flooding throughout the Central Valley in 1997.
Biologists began breeding and reintroducing rabbits to the San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge and surrounding private lands in 2002 from another population discovered in 1998 along Paradise Cut, a Stockton-San Joaquin Delta slough that borders the Stewart Tract between Tracy and Lathrop. A small population also remains in Caswell State Park.
While it is impossible to know how many riparian brush rabbits exist these days, it is safe to say they are making a comeback, according to Kim Forrest, manager of the San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge.
"We've moved light-years away from the late 1990s, when we wondered if we should declare the riparian brush rabbit extinct," Forrest said.
Other wildlife also benefits
The 7,500-acre San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge, about half of which contains suitable habitat for the riparian brush rabbit in forested areas near Highway 132, also provides homes for other protected species.
Those include the riparian woodrat, vernal pool fairy shrimp and the vernal pool tadpole shrimp. A rare songbird called the least Bell's vireo has been sighted there multiple years, and the refuge is a known resting place for the formerly endangered Aleutian Canada goose.
On Nov. 8, biologists found various creatures in brush rabbit traps, including the black rat — a nonnative species that carried the fleas responsible for spreading the Black Death in 14th-century Europe and China — and a California vole, a rodent native to the area. These critters were released after biologists spotted them in the traps.
As biologists found brush rabbits, however, they scooped them into sacks and waved an electronic scanner over them to see if any had been injected with a microchip that serves to identify them.
If not, biologists used a syringe to inject a chip the size of a grain of rice under the skin, clipped the animal's ears with a tiny sterile hole punch and collected some fur for genetic analysis. Each rabbit was also given an ear tag for additional identification.
Looking ahead, those who are involved in restoration efforts hope to get more precise figures about the numbers of brush rabbits that exist, said Bob Parris, deputy refuge manager of the San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge. Meanwhile, they are pleased with the progress made thus far.
"I think everyone agrees that it's been a really successful endangered species program," Parris said. "The rabbit is in a much better situation than it was 10 years ago."

Congress has a solution for creating jobs and job training programs but the newspapers never talk about that. Government isn't broken and government can create jobs. Make sure that people in your community know that this is possible.
Step 1 is to send an Op-Ed to your Daily Newspaper.
If your Representative is not currently a cosponsor of HR 1000 they may not completely understand how important full employment is to your community; click on your state at the bottom of this page to see all the cosponsors in your state. Nothing sends a stronger message to a Congressional member than a personal visit to a district office by a voter with a written request. Phone calls and emails are incredibly important but nothing gets attention like a personal visit. Our Educate Congress page has information and a sample letter.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Klipsch R-5650-W by Loren Barstow Treat yourself to top-notch sound with a speaker that blends seamlessly into your home's décor. The Klipsch® R-5650-W features a hideaway in-wall design and a grille you can paint for an exact match with your room's color scheme. This speaker's high-tech design and solid construction make it a great choice for movie and music lovers alike. Install multiple R-5650-Ws in your family room for a clutter-free home theater, or use a pair in your bedroom, den, or home office for stereo music. A rigid anodized aluminum woofer produces strong, accurate bass and mid-bass. The pivoting tweeter lets you direct clean highs toward your favorite listening spot, for a broad soundstage with well-defined imaging. And tweeter and mid-bass level switches let you tailor the sound to suit your personal taste and room's acoustics. Horn technology for room-filling sound Because high-frequency sounds are more directional than bass frequencies, it's especially important to target them right toward your ears. Klipsch places their titanium tweeter inside a flared opening, known as a "horn," which disperses the highs evenly across your listening area. This design brings out details in everything you listen to, while reducing reflections that can color the sound. The horn also improves dynamics and efficiency, for powerful, "front row" sound that remains crystal-clear at all volume levels. An optional in-wall bracket is recommended for installing the R-5650-W in new construction. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Mounting Options Features High Efficiency: The high-efficiency design of the Klipsch in-wall speakers allows you to get much more output than most in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. Due to the long speaker wire runs that are common in whole-house audio systems, the power coming from the amplifier is significantly reduced by the time it reaches the speakers. The 93dB efficiency of this speaker means it will play much louder at low power than other less-efficient speakers. Drivers: The R-5650-W is equipped with the following drivers: Tweeter: a 1" Titanium dome compression tweeter mated to a 6" square, pivoting Tractrix Horn, which disperses the sound 90° horizontally and 60° vertically into the room. The horn design dramatically increases efficiency by enabling the speaker to produce more output using less energy. The horn-loaded tweeter allows you to point the sound to a specific location, and has more controlled directivity than a conventional dome tweeter. Woofer: a copper-colored 6-1/2" Cerametallic woofer Speaker Terminals: The speaker has a gold-plated pair of spring-loaded binding posts that can accept up to 12-gauge wire, single banana plugs, or pin connectors. Tweeter/Mid-bass Attenuation Switches: If the speaker is installed in an acoustically bright room, such as a bathroom or a kitchen, you can attenuate the tweeter by -3dB, using the Tweeter Attenuation Switch. If the speaker is located in a corner and produces too much bass, you should adjust the Mid-bass level switch (-3dB). Both switches are located on the front of the speaker. Frame: The R-5650-W has a sturdy ABS frame, which can be painted to match any decor (a clear paint mask is supplied to protect the drivers from overspray). The metal mesh grille is also paintable. Power Specifications Note: The manufacturer has specified the maximum power handling of this speaker as 50 watts RMS (200 W Peak). Klipsch has also published a recommended amplifier power specification as 100 watts. Mounting Options Installation: The speaker can be installed in new or existing construction. It requires a cutout diameter of 8" wide x 13" high. For new construction, purchase of the IK-650-W installation kit (item # 714IK650W) is highly recommended. For existing construction, the speaker should be installed in drywall (or other mounting surfaces) at least 3/8" thick. IR Knockout: A 1/2" diameter knockout panel is provided in the lower left hand corner of the speaker frame for installing an IR sensor.

Seattle, once known as the grunge capitol of the world, is once again surging forth as the city where originality is born, having in recent years giving birth to such eclectic and varied acts as The Blood Brothers, Minus The Bear, Harkonen and Pretty Girls Make Graves. Amidst this cyclone of talent and creativity has risen These Arms Are Snakes, an artsy post-punk whirlwind that incorporate traces of hardcore and prog rock that recalls the energy of late 80's D.C. Punk. Built by former members of Kill Sadie, Nine Iron Spitfire and local mathcore icons Botch, the band have quickly caused a commotion in the independent scene and look to continue doing so with their impressive debut EP, "This Is Meant To Hurt You".
These Arms Are Snakes have embraced the atonal noise rock textures that once aided The Jesus Lizard in becoming one of the underground's hottest commodities, a fact that surely seems fitting considering the band's admittance of such inspirations; Yet rather than imitate the legendary cult rockers, these men learn and expand upon such stylistic choices. Vocalist Steve Snere has a heavily distorted vocal range, often raving with unintelligible rasps of intensity reminiscent of David Yow's, yet there are also subtleties that hark to the epic tones of Robert Plant or gritty sneer of The Dwarves. The group are often caught in groove-laden jams, indulging in dizzying moments of space rock that are the equivalent to Cave In's more adventurous sensibilities, propelled forward by mid-tempo shifts and Brian Cook's mesmerizing low-end thrust. Caustic yet rhythmically seductive, this is an album that quickly overwhelms those listening, whether it be courtesy of their eccentric spaz direction or earthy Fugazi-like undertones. Thanks to these influences and more, the band find themselves a cut above such groups as ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead and Sparta, capturing the very essence of today's complex art rock movement while saturating their sound with a myriad of signature trademarks.
It comes as little surprise how mature and confident the group is in their sound when considering their individual accomplishments, yet it is still refreshing to come across an ensemble so sure in their technique. This makes for an invigorating album that capitalizes on its strengths, daring to challenge the listener with no fear of rejection or error. At once soothing and captivating but always with an air of punk urgency, "This Is Meant To Hurt You" is a triumphant debut from a band capable of transcending mere genre classification. This makes These Arms Are Snakes a richly textured avant-garde hardcore quintet with the potential to lead the reborn Seattle scene into the future.

Do backyard chicken coops put the "fun" in farming?
Apparently not.
Despite visions of quaint coops, happy birds and cheap eggs, the growing trend of raising backyard chickens in urban settings is backfiring, as disillusioned city dwellers, eco-enthusiasts and hipsters are running from their coops as fast as their Birkenstocks can carry them.
Over the last several months, there have been dozens of articles written about how hundreds of chickens are being abandoned at the nation's shelters from California to New York as naïve urbanites discover that—surprise, surprise—farming is actually hard work and takes a lot more knowledge and skill than they anticipated.
Raising poultry can be noisy, messy, labor-intensive and expensive. Want to take a vacation? Who's going to care for your flock? It's 5 degrees below zero in your neighborhood today: Who's going out to check on your birds and see to their well-being and comfort in inclement weather? Predator on the loose? Fox got your chickens?
There are reasons why our food is produced by less than two percent of our population— (a) not everyone has the skills, knowledge and understanding of what it takes to raise animals for food; and (b) not everyone has the time, patience, wherewithal and inclination to grow their own food. That's where farmers come in—they've made a life commitment to the near herculean feat of producing food for an ever-expanding population.
We've all heard the statistics: by 2050 we need to feed 9.1 billion people. Having a backyard flock may be a fun hobby (albeit short-lived for many), but guess what? Those 9.1 billion people aren't going to be fed by a smattering of chicken coops scattered among high-rise apartments and city brownstones.
I've had many conversations with people about why certain trends take off so enthusiastically. The food revolution, the" locavore" movement, or being a "foodie," are all examples of popular trends that sweep people up and cause them to think about things and make decisions they otherwise wouldn't.
This "keeping up with the Joneses" mentality is nothing new for Americans. It's what causes us to build a better mousetrap, buy a bigger house and drive a faster car. It's also what causes some Americans to wake up to a rooster crowing in their backyard when they thought they had sweet, innocent, egg-laying hens. (Didn't anyone tell those hipsters that chickens are notoriously hard to sex?)

Forgive me if this has already been asked. I searched for this, but all I found was links to very long book lists. While that's appreciated, I would like something a bit more concise. Though I would like to read an entire large book list such as that, there is a time constraint involved here, so if possible I would prefer to first read the ones which are commonly regarded as being the best so I can soak in the best/most knowledge on the subject as soon as possible.
I'm hoping that everyone can just post a few which they regard as being the best, their favorite, etc., and then I can make some decisions from that based on how often certain books get mentioned.
I have already gathered that For a New Liberty is commonly placed high on such a list. How about The Market for Liberty?
-> Principles of Economics. Getting down to what is means to be economizing. Once you get that, you can get it all.
No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority - Lysander Spooner
The only one worth following is the one who leads... not the one who pulls; for it is not the direction that condemns the puller, it is the rope that he holds.
I really liked Chaos Theory by Bob Murphy. The Market For Liberty is good too. The *best* imo is For a New Liberty.
The Private Production of Defense by Hans Hermann Hoppe.
The Machinery of Freedom by David Freidman
The Voluntary City editted by David Beito
The Not So Wild Wild West by Anderson & Hill
Law of the Somalis by Notten
I'd skip Chaos Theory by Murphy actually. If you have the time read the pdf, but it doesn't feel up to par with Murphy's standards.
The only thing that hasn't been listed here is Power and Market by Rothbard. It's very economic/jargony, but it's probably the best anti-interventionist book ever written. It's like economics in one lesson on steroids.
Anthony de Jasay, Against Politics
FA Hayek, The Fatal Conceit
Frank Chodorov, The Rise and Fall of Society
Anarchy, State, Utopia by Robert Nozick
The Machinery of Freedom by David Freidman
For A New Liberty by Murray Rothbard
The State by Anthony De Jassay
Would probably be the "big four" historical ancap treaties. All offer a different perspective
Some major pre Ancap works:
Our Enemy The State by Albert jay Nock
Road to Serfdom by F.A. Hayek
Liberalism by Ludwig von Mises
"As in a kaleidoscope, the constellation of forces operating in the system as a whole is ever changing." - Ludwig Lachmann
"When A Man Dies A World Goes Out of Existence" - GLS Shackle
I thought the Nozick book was a direct criticism of anarchist theory and wrote on the need for a minarchist state, as does The Road to Serfdom to a lesser extent?
Also, how could I have forgotten? A lesser known but still excellent composition of anarchist legal thought is Anarchy and the Law.
My bad,
I usually first think of it as a critique of Rawls - and instead of filng it under "libertarian", whichI should have done - I filed under "ancap" in my head for some reason.. You're right though, it does attack ancap. It is however a seminal libertarian work
The Road To Serfdom I filed under "pre ancap". I thinkthat book is very responsible for helping foster libertarian thoughts, before there was an actual libertarian movement. It's one of those "cross over / big tent" revolutionary books
I should mention - I have only skimmed pieces of Anarchy State Utopia and For a New Liberty and Ihave never read the Machinary of Freedom
I justmentioned them becauseas far as libertarian political thinking goes, I think those are historicaly seen as the most seminal books in the field.
The only thing that hasn't been listed here is Power and Market by Rothbard.
I'd rather people not avoid making repeat mentions of books. Repeat mentions by multiple people will signal to me that it's probably one of the better ones. :)
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions thus far.
Oh, well then read For a New Liberty. Read it read it read it. I also heard that "The Ethics of Liberty" had valuable insights beyond an ethical standpoint but I can't say for sure because I haven't read it.
The Machinery of Freedom is good but it's not to the same standard as FANL or most of the other things mentioned.
But as far as a major non Austrian book on Ancap, what would you reccomend? Wouldn't Machinery be the most famous counter Ancap manifesto?
Oh also, and back to "Austrians":
I haven't seen anyone recommend Democracy the God that Failed by Hoppe. I haven't read it, but have read a lot about it (it isnt free). It's contraversial, but it has provoked a lot of discussions, and is a major work that deals with ancap political theory.
This is Vive la Insurrection
I liked Anatomy of the State to get you hooked, and then add in a little of For a New Liberty, and top it off with Chaos Theory
"Since people are concerned that 'X' will not be provided, 'X' will naturally be provided by those who are concerned by its absence.""The sweetest of minds can harbor the harshest of men."
"But as far as a major non Austrian book on Ancap, what would you recommend? Wouldn't Machinery be the most famous counter Ancap manifesto?"
Oh for sure, but I think this might also say something about just how many manifestos there are. I can't say that there are very many out there that I would recommend, most of them are historical works which you could find in Anarchy and the Law. I've also read a good piece on Somalia. Someone really needs to make a full list of such books, all of them, because they are so rare.
But the fact is that the Austrian school was the progenitor, and current harbinger of anarcho-capitalism
"I haven't seen anyone recommend Democracy the God that Failed by Hoppe."
1. Is the book really a book on anarcho-capitalism?
2. I haven't read the book, but I still consider the most important book written by an Austrian in the last decade because it did two thing, first of all it added something to Austrian theory, something which really hasn't been done nearly enough since Rothbard wrote MES, indeed the last tract tome which really added much to Austrian theory (except for the one in question) Was De Soto's book. Second of all it did something which has been urgently required since the day that Mises wrote human action, and something that no one except Hayek, Mises and arguably Schumpeter did anything with, and that's that is spreading the praxeological method on to more "sociological" matters, examining the non-market entities of society, more than simply the market under various conditions and socialism. I hope this kind of investigation of "Austrian Sociology" continues and expands. It is not only economics which is subject to praxeological law, but rather all human things.
Also, I enjoy your continual flip flopping on accounts :P
Is the book really a book on anarcho-capitalism?
I thought it was specifically about the incentives of democracy and monarchy?
After he discusses the flaws of both democracy and monarchy (arguing that the former is worse than the latter), Hoppe offers an alternative to both systems - 'natural order', i.e. anarchy. This takes up at least half of the book.
Like I said I haven't read DTGTF, But the main the main and superficial thrust seems to be somthing like this:
It looks at the institutions of Democracy and Monarchy, and shows how the structures of each are bad - but how Monarchy mimics the market set up and has a private property based system , and shows how it is more condusive to a natural sociological arrangment. It is ultimately a case for Ancap, I think
Oh and one more awesome book recommendation that no one has mentioned yet, that I can't believe I forgot The Invisible Hook by Peter Leeson. It's a really fun read.
lol, I'm not

BMC Racing Team's Steve Morabito climbed two spots to 14th overall Tuesday at the Vuelta a España after a crash split the peloton and caused Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team) to lose his overall lead.
Chaos After The Crash
The pile-up happened with 38 kilometers to go in the 160.6 km race, as strong crosswinds buffeted the peloton. Morabito said he was fortunate to be on the opposite side of the road as the crash, which took down at least 15 riders. "I was on the right side, expecting something would happen," he said. "I saw Sky moving up and yelled to Brent (Bookwalter) to move to the front. I was in position 20 or so, on the wheel of all of our classics guys." Bookwalter said things immediately turned hectic. "It was a bit of a free-for-all," he said. "Sky was riding and other guys were going up there wanting to ride in the rotation, but they wouldn't even really open up. They (Sky) didn't want any help. So it was a matter of keeping each other and Steve out of the wind and staying together." None of the BMC Racing Team riders were involved in the crash.
Amazing Teamwork
While the stage was being contested by two of five riders from a breakaway who once led by more than 13 minutes, Morabito was fighting on the slopes of the final climb to stay with a group that included the new race leader, Joaquin Rodriguez (Katusha Team). "My teammates did an amazing job of bringing me bottles in the hot weather and getting me to the front at the start of the climb, where at first I felt blocked," he said. "But after that I started feeling better. I just don't like when there are lot of attacks." By finishing 13th on the stage, 64 seconds behind stage winner Simon Clarke (Orica-GreenEDGE), Morabito gained nine seconds is 53 seconds out of the race lead. Wednesday's stage is a 168 km circuit race, the first of its kind in a grand tour.

Your location: Home > > Parties & Observers > Parties & Observer States > Party Groupings
Each Party to the Convention is represented at sessions of the Convention bodies by a national delegation
consisting of one or more officials empowered to represent and negotiate on behalf of their government.
Based on the tradition of the United Nations, Parties are organized into five regional groups, mainly for the
purposes of electing the Bureaux, namely: African States, Asian States, Eastern European States, Latin
American and the Caribbean States, and the Western European and Other States (the "Other States"
include Australia, Canada, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland and the United States of America, but
not Japan, which is in the Asian Group).
The five regional groups, however, are not usually used to present the substantive interests of Parties and
several other groupings are more important for climate negotiations. Developing countries generally work
through the Group of 77 to establish common negotiating positions. The G-77 was founded in
1964 in the context of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and now functions throughout the
UN system. It has over 130 members. The country holding the Chair of the G-77 in New York (which rotates
every year) often speaks for the G-77 and China as a whole. However, because the G-77 and China is a diverse
group with differing interests on climate change issues, individual developing countries also intervene in
debates, as do groups within the G-77, such as the African UN regional Group, the Alliance of Small Island
States and the group of Least Developed Countries.
The Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) is a coalition of some 43 low-lying and small
island countries, most of which are members of the G-77, that are particularly vulnerable to sea-level rise.
AOSIS countries are united by the threat that climate change poses to their survival and frequently adopt a
common stance in negotiations. They were the first to propose a draft text during the Kyoto Protocol
negotiations calling for cuts in carbon dioxide emissions of 20% from 1990 levels by 2005.
The 50 countries defined as Least Developed Countries by the UN regularly work together in
the wider UN system. They have become increasingly active in the climate change process, often working
together to defend their particular interests, for example with regard to vulnerability and adaptation to
climate change.
The 27 members of the European Union meet in private to agree on common negotiating positions. The
country that holds the EU Presidency - a position that rotates every six months - then speaks for the
European Union and its 27 member states. As a regional economic integration organization, the European Union
itself can be, and is, a Party to the Convention. However, it does not have a separate vote from its members.
The Umbrella Group is a loose coalition of non-EU developed countries which formed following the
adoption of the Kyoto Protocol. Although there is no formal list, the Group is usually made up of Australia,
Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, the Russian Federation, Ukraine and the US.
The Environmental Integrity Group (EIG), formed in 2000, comprises Mexico,
Liechtenstein, Monaco, the Republic of Korea and Switzerland.
Several other groups also work together in the climate change process, including countries from the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), a group of countries of Central Asia, Caucasus, Albania
and Moldova (CACAM), and countries that are members of organizations such as the League of Arab States and
the Agence intergouvernementale de la francophonie.

Unless it's Mark Grace, of course.
I agree with Amy and Gribbz and Greg.
Audra, you probably know that isn't a good choice, and that's probably the exciting part. I am with the "No" group.
Jesus Christ you all are some hyper judgmental cunts. So the dude has a DUI, maybe his story is true or maybe he just had five or six beers one night and wasn't too inebriated but smelled of it and they gave him a brethalyzer and he failed. It only takes three-four drinks to fail. There are worse crimes in the world, for fuck's sake.
He's an irresponsible liar. Have some kids with him.
I'm sure she's still got a couple up her sleeve.

I'm going to join the yes club. Chances are overall he is going to be a no simply because he is out of your driving distance, however that doesn't mean you shouldn't meet him for at least a good pool night.
Beat that pussy up girl.
My current roommate owns a company, owns a house, is very responsible and he has a breathalyzer in his car. He was at a company golf tournament and got pulled over on his way home. Which could very easily happen to just about anyone on this board. In AZ it's far too easy to get DUIs, so no, I won't use that as a reason to not date a guy. The fact that he lied is the reason I would lean more towards not going out with him, and let's be honest, who hasn't lied a little when talking to a possible dating prospect to make ourselves look better, or not as bad? He could be a very nice guy that ran into bad luck, I have had plenty of my own bad luck, why would I judge someone else for that. Chances are if I agree to meet him he will be a total tool, but I will at least get some pool games and free beer out of it, instead of sitting at home alone being bitter.
Also, fuck you Chris.
I've been in his car. NO BREATHALYZER.

Teams opened the tournament Wednesday, Dec. 26, and will play through Saturday night, when the championship game will tip off at Tracy High.
Most of the teams are from the Sac-Joaquin Section, but coaches said they still meet up with teams they wouldn't otherwise face.
"There are some good Bay Area teams," said Jeff Salyer, coach of the Gregori High Jaguars from Modesto. "That's why we come here, to get away from the valley."
Gregori (10-0), a team of mostly juniors in its second year of varsity play, could turn out to be one of the stronger teams in the Modesto Metro Conference.
The Jaguars added a 57-53 win over El Camino High of Sacramento to their record Wednesday and moved on to face Mission San Jose High of Fremont on Thursday, Dec. 27.
Mission San Jose reached the 2011 California Interscholastic Federation state playoffs after finishing as the North Coast Section runner-up. The Warriors (6-3) skipped the Hawkins tournament last year but took part in previous years.
Mission San Jose started this year's tournament with a 53-31 win over Manteca High.
Coach Doug Sakamoto said he wanted to put his team up against competition the Warriors wouldn't ordinarily see.
He added that the tournament brings surprises every year. This year, his team comprises mostly the younger players from his 2012 squad, and the tournament includes teams he doesn't know well.
"Most of these teams are from the Central Valley," he said. "There's nobody from our section playing in this tournament, so I really don't know what to expect."
West High coach Joe Hernandez said he and Tracy High coach Derek Solano try to get teams to return each year, but they mix up the bracket from year-to-year
"We try to balance the teams for equity, as much as we can," Hernandez said. "It's a great tune-up for league. Our league is one of the tougher leagues around, with St. Mary's, McNair and Edison all playing at a fast, athletic tempo, so it's a good chance to play some teams like that."
Thirteen of the 16 teams are back from 2011. In addition to Mission San Jose, Turlock High and Lathrop High missed the tournament last year. Hernandez said the team from Kimball High was unable to attend last year because of a scheduling conflict and turned down the invitation this year.
Among the returning teams is Brookside Christian of Stockton, the defending tournament champion. Brookside went on to win the 2012 California Interscholastic Federation Division V state championship.
East Union of Manteca, a returning semifinalist from last year's tournament, lost a close game to Modesto, 35-31, on Wednesday. East Union coach Jim Agostini said he and the Lancers look forward to the Hawkins tournament each year.
"This is my 13th year, and I think we missed one year," Agostini said. "We've come across some great teams over the years.
"We've won the tournament, we've finished in consolation. We've always been tested here very well."
Modesto coach Troy Hooks said he expected the tournament to get his team ready for Modesto Metro Conference play.
"The challenge is here," Hooks said. "I rate this tournament fairly high as far as getting us ready for league."
He added that coaches will know a lot more about their teams by the end of the fourth straight day of play Saturday.
