I'm generally pretty forgiving when it comes to products and not performing exactly as described, however, this "sealing" grease had seperated and was essentially water and a really thick, chunky globs of grease. I have had no issues with other no toil products in the past, but I won't be reordering this product or trusting my engine to it's performance.Read All Reviews

No one who wants their dirt bike to stay in good shape neglects proper maintenance. If you're a rider who is serious about off-road fun, you know that your bike needs all sorts of chemicals and oils to keep it at its peak. This is where you'll find it all. We've separated them all into categories to make it easy to find whatever you need. (Don't forget that we have a separate page devoted to dirt bike oil.)
Some of the chemicals and fluids on these pages should be used regularly to extend the useful life of your bike's components. For example, air filter oil is applied to foam air filters to more effectively grab dust and dirt before it enters the engine. Coolant keeps your motorcycle operating at an appropriate temperature. Chain lube helps every link last just a little bit longer (and is good for your sprockets as well).
If you work on your own bike, you know that there are all sorts of things you need with replacing everything from bearings to brakes. On these pages, you'll find contact cleaners, cable lube, adhesives and just about anything else. And of course, you can't forget grease. We carry many types of grease and other lubricants, some of which are designed for a very specific function, but others which are good for all sorts of applications. And anyone who has worked extensively on a dirt bike knows that there are many uses.
At Rocky Mountain ATV/MC, we don't just understand the value of regular maintenance and do-it-yourself projects; we also recognize the importance of customization. We carry paint that allows you to touch up your bike and give it a custom look. We also have a variety of fuel additives. Some improve your motorcycle's performance or assist with extended periods of disuse. But that's not all; you might want to check out the fuel additives we carry which add a unique (and pleasant) scent to your dirt bike. Now that's customization!
Browse our pages today to see what we have available. Your dirt bike will thank you later.

Every so often I review the basics. Always a good idea just in case somehow or another the information has escaped you or perhaps you've got a case of amnesia. Seems to happen to a lot of folk who are dieting, doesn't it?
TRUE or FALSE? Skipping breakfast aids weight loss.
Maybe y'all think that if you don't eat breakfast, you just saved yourself 300 calories and are that much closer to that skinny-minnie body that you're after. Sorry to be the one to tell you, but it just doesn't work that way!
What THOSE IN THE KNOW say:
A recent study conducted at the University of Texas at El Paso found that those who eat a morning meal actually ingest less calories over the course of the day.
The Scary State of OVER-HUNGRY:
Skipping meals leads to a state of 'over-hungry,' which often leads us down the path of destruction – straight to lack of control distorted satiety signals.
It becomes more difficult to tell when you are full. This can result in taking in more calories than had you eaten your breakfast in the first place.
The Benefits of Breakfast:
Eating breakfast is also known to improve concentration, problem solving ability, mental performance, memory and mood. Life is tough enough without this extra added pressure!
One Thing that YOU CAN Do Today!
Eat up, eat healthy!
Righteous Recipe
Juicy Smooth Breakfast Shake
Hydrate thyself!
Starting the day in a dehydrated state can lead to difficulties concentrating, and cause headaches and irritability. Drink water, milk, juice or try whipping up a healthy smoothie.
1 medium ripe banana, peeled
3/4 cup pineapple juice (no sugar added; natural juice)
1/2 cup plain low-fat or no-fat yogurt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup strawberries,
stems removed and rinse.
Break banana into small pieces and put in the blender with:
pineapple juice, yogurt, vanilla extract and strawberries.
Blend until smooth.
Divide between two glasses.

The Vizio M series sits at this year's sweet spot of price and picture, and just happens to be 4K too.
Whether you're out listening to your MP3 player or out at home with your high-end stereo, your headphone choice is critical. Here we've picked our five favorites across every style and category, but if you already know which type of headphones you want, use the links at the left to get more options.
The Polk T50 is a remarkably decent-sounding tower speaker for not a lot of money, but it faces stiff competition.
The Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 is a great-sounding headphone with the one caveat that its sonic detail is so impressive that it brings out both the best and worst in any given source material.
Google has announced its first Chromecast Audio wireless dongle, which will offer multiroom music and compatibility with Spotify for $35.
While it isn't a bargain at $350, the Riva Audio Turbo X is one of the loudest and best sounding compact Bluetooth speakers available.
The Paradigm Monitor 7 v7 is a slimmer floorstanding speaker that provides an especially wide soundstage and audio characteristics best suited for home theater.
While it's a bit pricey, the VinylPlay by Flexson is a well-built turntable that fits the needs of the modern audiophile.
The Devialet Phantom is a high-end wireless speaker with a distinctive, pressurized design.
Pricing not available
The Klipsch Reference Premiere speakers and subwoofer deliver maximum home theater dynamics and power with ease, and sound great with music, too.
The Cambridge Audio TV5 sound base produces detailed, natural sound, but comes up short on features and lacks the bass impact of competitors.

Keith Nichols' Blue Devils with Jeff Barnhart @ The Saville, North Shields.
Enrico Tomasso, Ben Cummings (tpt/vcl), Keith Nichols (tmb/pno/vcl), Mark Foulkes (alt/clt), David Hornblower (alt/bar/sop/clt), Johnny Boston (ten/clt), Jeff Barnhart (pno/vcl), Martin Wheatley (bjo/gtr), Jerome ? (bs), Richard Pite (dms).
An hour and a half later I'm beginning to get my breath back - talk about exhilaration! Keith Nichol's Blue Devils gave a very well attended Saville Exchange audience exhilaration to spare.
The delights were many - too many to list - although, high on at that list if there were such a list would be Jeff Barnhart's rendering - rendering as in tearing apart - of "Sweet Georgia Brown". This was simply the best two fisted piano playing I've heard for many a long year. The effortless way he strode through the keys in the manner of pianists past was truly awesome.
He also chanted that old twenties Bing Crosby classic "I Left My Sugar Standing in the Rain (and my sugar melted away"), "Sunday" and others although perhaps the most amazing piece was the four hands, one piano, duet with Keith Nichols on "I Can Dream Can't I?".
Then there were the two trumpets - Enrico and Ben. Both featured extensively; Enrico in the fine old Armstrong tradition, Ben marginally more modern. Top class technicians and full of the joys of swing.
Jonny Boston - perfect name for a musician (or a private eye!) he did BG on clarinet and Hawk on tenor brilliantly. A singer/composer in his own right I'd also like to hear Jonny in a small band more modern setting.
Mark Foulkes had a lovely round Johnny Hodges sound on alto. Unmiked, as were all of the front-line, it was purity personified. David Hornblower (another fine name) played excellent bari as well as alto, clarry and sop.
Keith himself had his moments on trombone whilst the rhythm of Martin, Jerome (or was it Jeremy?) were idiomatically perfect.
Richard Pite? What can I say except "Is there a better drummer for this style of band?"
I don't think so.
Is there a better band playing in this style?
I don't think so.
Is there a better band?
That's a hard one.

Saturday's matches against Dixie State and UVU round out the Cougars' March schedule before next week's mammoth clash in the Wasatch Cup against rival Utah. Kickoff for this match is set for Friday, April 5 at 7 p.m. on South Field.
The Wasatch Cup clash against the Utes serves as the end to BYU's regular season before the Cougars prepare for their post-season championship run in the Varsity Cup. which kicks off in Los Angeles with BYU taking on hosts UCLA on April 20th. The BYU vs. UCLA Varsity Cup quarterfinal match kicks off at 4 p.m. PT on North Athletic Field.

When I first arrived at the Brazilian Arts Foundation, I was standing around with several other Capoeira initiates when class begun with a "warm up" that would generally have been my entire workout. The rest of class was spent twisting one way, legs the other way, and I am quite certain at some point I was standing on my head (or trying to). The whole time trying to follow the energy of the funny little man at the front of the room. It was a great workout
Two years later I still feel the same way about classes, but the Foundation itself has impressed me greatly. Constantly bringing together people in various walks of life, the foundation has a wide variety of programs that cater to many different people; that said, it is always a joy to watch the lines of those programs blur as students pick up the "Axé" and strive to learn and be more involved. This energy transfers beyond the walls of the foundation in the community programs it has for the elderly as well as school programs for children.
I hope and expect many more people will find the Brazilian Arts Foundation as physically, mentally, and emotionally rewarding as I have.

Hope they can find more people to work/volunteer time so that they have the resources to accomplish more of the tremendous things they are capable of performing.
My drama class was recently studying about Brazil. Our director said while in Brazil he saw Capoeira. He then announced that in a couple weeks we would take a field trip to go see it. We ended up going to watch at the Brazilian Arts Foundation! It was one of the coolest things I've seen! Everyone was so involved from what looked like maybe 3 to 4 year olds to grown adults all learning the same art. My friends and I were in awe at the stuff they were doing. Everyone was always smiling and very friendly! It really was a good experience to watch them preform. We even are putting a piece of Capoeira in our living news paper that we're performing! :) The Brazilian Arts Foundation truely has a family enviorment willing to help!

Ex-page meets with FBI
Former congressional page Jordan Edmund was interviewed by FBI agents for about two and-a-half hours today, his attorney told reporters. "Jordan answered all of their questions, relying upon his memory as it exists," attorney Stephen Jones said.
The FBI is investigating former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, who resigned Sept. 29. Edmund, 21, arrived at the U.S. Attorney's office in downtown Oklahoma City about 10 a.m. He left around 12:40 p.m. Edmund did not talk to reporters. His expression was somber. He wore a dark pinstriped suit and red tie. Edmund brought with him to the interview a large envelope. Jones also told reporters he was contacted this morning by the House Ethics Committee. He said, " I will speak to them this afternoon." Foley, a Florida Republican, quit after ABC News confronted him about lurid messages sent over the Internet to teenage, former male pages. Foley, 52, has admitted through an attorney that he sent inappropriate online messages. Edmund, a Californian, was identified last week by a blogger as one of the former pages who allegedly got online instant messages from Foley. In one alleged message to Edmund, Foley wrote "strip down and get relaxed." Edmund has been living in Oklahoma City and working as a deputy campaign manager for the gubernatorial campaign of Republican Rep.

Yet again, experts have offered some insight into the motivations of professionals in the region. But Kipp thinks they may just be trying to make employers feel better.
October 27, 2010 3:28 by shafeer
Local recruitment experts have told Emirates 24-7 that a good salary does not necessarily guarantee loyalty from employees.
"An excellent compensation package will help you to initially attract better employees, but retaining them has far more to do with management style and company culture," says Cliff Single, Commercial Manager of BAC Middle East.
Konstantina Sakellariou, a Dubai-based Partner, Marketing & Operations Director at Stanton Chase International, says, "[Monetary benefits] may just keep an employee satisfied, or, if the remuneration is high, it may make it more difficult for the executive to move out of the company. But company culture, future growth opportunities and recognition within the company are for sure more important elements and build long-term relationships within a company."
The article goes on to say that cash is just part of a wider equation; that the equation varies depending on an employee's level; that it's different for every individual… ('Yada Yada,' to steal from Seinfeld).
So why the big headline? Kipp gets the feeling these recruitment experts are trying to make employers (a key part of their client base) feel better about being unable to pay more.
"It's okay," they say, gently stroking the employer's sleeve. "It doesn't matter that your budget is decimated and you are paying well below market rate. What matters is that you're a good person."
Let them say that, but Kipp prefers a more honest appraisal. In this environment, money is just about the only thing that can buy loyalty. That, and stability. People have had a massive adjustment to make in the last two years; all notions of security and confidence have been decimated. Right now people are thinking of their homes and families and their futures. The new mantra for any practical person in the work place is, therefore, stability and salary; provide that and you can count on loyalty for some years yet.
We concede it is true, there is wisdom in the old saying that people leave managers and not companies. But that has little to do with a sense of loyalty, and more to do with personal differences. If you want to avoid that scenario as an employer, all you need to do is be professional, respectful, and communicative. That's all an employee needs from the boss.
That, and the big, regular paycheck.
So if you can't provide a big pay day, concentrate on the stability of your company when dealing with prospective employees. They may take a modest reliable paycheck over no paycheck at all.
Oh and one more thought: Don't sweat your employee loyalty too much. Employees know that if it came to it, you'd drop them in an instant if you had too – consequently their sense of loyalty will only ever go so far.
What do you think? What would ensure your loyalty?

A professor of History and Religion, I grew up modern Orthodox but now I consider myself just traditional. While I enjoy intellectual reflection, I still consider myself a people's person and LOVE to laugh. I am a huge U2 fan, soft spoken, usually smiling, intellectual, and open-minded. I am close with my family (I am the baby boy!) and I enjoy playing guitar. I love chess and have also done some acting for the history channel.
I am a huge Adam Sandler and Denzel Washington fan, I am a Yankee, Bulls, and Jet fan, I love vegan food, - but cant turn down a tuna wrap with a pickle (nor a chicken burger at Delil Kasbah) ! Finally -- I deeply value Judaism as a living religious culture, but not as reflecting any metaphysical truth. While I won't match well with someone who feels the Torah is the word of God,
I would like to build a Jewish home that is warm, loving, open, and passionate.

Sometimes it is difficult to choose from the four options given, but there is usually one that fits better than the rest, or at least one that you could see yourself as more so than the others. If you're still unsure, try asking someone who knows you well, such as a parent or sibling. They can give clarity on areas of your personality that you may not notice.

Hey imath..
I had installed a plugin called TDO mini forms which has an option to use Ajax. I have one of the mini forms in a clone of your example widget. When I enabled the Ajax option the widgets in bp my home get frozen in place and the note pad no longer responds. I turned of Ajax and everything is good again. I had the same issue before but didn't know why. So it was a nice discovery.
I don't know that I need to enable Ajax, since I don't know what it is..
So no problem really, just thought you might like to know.
Keep up the great work!

You only really get to know how a good a company is when you need to return an item. The item received did not perform as well as it should have and yet they want to charge a 15% re-stocking fee as the package had been opened. However there is no way I could assess what I received without opening it. Had it worked fine, and I still wanted to return it, that would have been a different matter, though other companies I've dealt with still do not charge a restocking fee if an item has been opened… Read Full Review

In most developed countries there are laws protecting consumers saying that if a company has displayed a product in a certain price they have to sell that product in that price. But we are in the UK (well done Thatcher!) They have made a mistake (don't want to call it a trick) and started putting on sale the Sony e4g for £88.
