New Trek bicycles feature whisper-quiet, non-slip belts

"People are really finding bicycles to be a very simple solution to some very complex problems that they face every day," said Eric Bjorling, Trek's lifestyle brand manager. "Anything we can do in our design to really help them and help them live that lifestyle is probably better for both the consumers and us."

Bjorling said the new belts are a low-maintenance solution to a chain, which has roughly 3,000 parts including all the links and connectors.

Aside from the whisper-quiet ride, the lighter and longer-lasting carbon-fiber composite belts won't rust, can't be cut, won't stretch or slip and won't leave grease marks around your ankles. A guard over the belt-drive and the construction of the system makes getting your pants stuck an unlikely scenario, Bjorling said.

/will it show up at the Tour de France?

Oh, that is beautiful! Thank you for sharing, Charles.

Heh. He mentions "Faust." I picked up the CD last week for $7.50, across the street at the used CD store. I didn't know anything about it, but the list of performers on it was irresistible. It helps that the proprietor's taste is different from mine. I got two Chris Whitely CDs out of the $2.00 bin last summer.

For some reason, I can't get it to play. I'll keep trying.

That was lovely. He's such a gifted artist.

Planned Parenthood Tells 'Teen': Lie To Get an Abortion

A college student posing as a pregnant 13-year-old was told at a Planned Parenthood clinic to lie about the age of her baby's father to skirt Indiana laws on parental consent for abortion and on reporting child sex abuse.

According to a report in the Washington Times, Lila Rose, 20, went undercover as a 13-year old named "Brianna," who said she was pregnant by a 31-year old man. Rose, president of a pro-life organization at UCLA, recorded the interaction with a hidden camera; the video has been posted on YouTube.

What is the meaning of life?

The Meaning of Life
by James Sedgwick

What is the meaning of water?

That question sounds silly because it has no context. To state a meaning is to state a relationship in a context. To a thirsty man, water can mean salvation. In a religious context, water can mean purification. In a flood, water can mean danger. Only when you state the context can you state the relationship that gives meaning to water.

Would that method work with the musty old question, "What is the meaning of life?" To find out, we need to set a context and find a relationship. Since human life is a conscious experience, the meaning would have to be in the relationship between the experience and the consciousness.

Can one think of lives from the past that had meaning? Of course: Jefferson’s life was all about establishing individual rights. Edison’s life was about inventing our modern world. Jefferson’s life had that meaning because he designed it that way. He knew what he wanted to do, and did it. Edison’s life had his meaning because he designed it that way. He knew what he wanted to do, and did it.

If by the meaning of life, I mean the relation between my mind and my experience, then the meaning of life is fulfillment. My mind sets a goal – survival or something more – and I aim for the goal. Since I have free will, I can decide what my life will be about. I can choose a purpose.

People with a purpose have chosen to give meaning to life. They have a standard. They can compare actions to the standard. Would doing that fit with my purpose in life? If so, do it. If not, skip it. Endless possibilities are narrowed down to a manageable number. Doubt is replaced with certainty.

You wonder about the meaning of life when you experience yours as random and arbitrary. You look for a meaning from outside. It can be found by looking inside, and using reason. Does music make you vividly alive, as if it above all gives life meaning? Then use music to energize your life. Be a musician. Does making a new discovery satisfy your soul above all else? Then make your life thrilling by organizing it around discovery. Be a researcher.

Every purpose gives meaning to your life. A lofty purpose means great effort and great reward. A normal purpose means organized effort and regular reward. An irrational purpose means pointless effort and illusory reward. The most common irrational purpose is power. To make control of others the purpose of your life would be to make frustration the meaning of life, since those others have free will.

If you have already lived half a lifetime without choosing a purpose, what can you do? You can ask yourself, "Have I lived at random, or not? Have I done worthwhile things, or not?" If life has not been all random, then it has partly followed an unstated purpose. Tell yourself what you were up to when you were most alive and least random. Admit to yourself the meaning of your life. Then decide to make it consistent, or change it to something better.

A life lived without any purpose goes in all directions and gets nowhere. It is a life without meaning. But most lives are not like that. Most lives wander around on the back roads while advancing bit by bit in some main direction. That direction is the central purpose and meaning of that life. The advantage of identifying the purpose is that you can get off the back roads and onto the freeway.

Op, when we're out of touch with PURPOSE, we're out of touch with MEANING...

re: #144 opnion

Ploome, my friens, Nancy Sinatra was hot in the day.

Sure thing.

re: #157 LGoPs

Down south they have Krystals.......I always thought they were a White Castle knock-off

Probably. In Indiana they call it King Castle. A sack of em with onion rings were great with a six pack, way back when.

re: #158 opnion

Yeah, & she really didn't sing that well, but she was Frank's little girl.
Very unhealthy to tell Frank that his little girl can't sing, you know associates from New Jersey & all. However she looked great & supported the troops.

That's one thing that Bob Hope never forgot to bring to Vietnam; plenty of "meat de la femme".

re: #153 pingjockey

Hey didja see Gov. Crissy made O'Reilly with the "Holiday" display in the capitol rotunda. Appalling comes to mind.

Yeah, posted in on a morning dead thread couple of days ago.

I really don't think most folks mind having alternative holiday view points displayed, but when the call all religious folks "Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds." That's a bit "insensitive" for a tolerant and open display.

Bob hope was a damn hero. He supported the troops , even when it meant swimming against the tide. All of the celeberties that did his shows were good people.

Back when I was in college, White Castle was the only place that was open in the wee hours. Sliders, one of the wonders of modern medical science, made a great alcohol absorbant.

re: #175 jcm
Yay! I didn't realize that local talent(spit) designed that wonderful ornament. Very heavy sarcasm there.

re: #131 Soona'

But..but...the commercial says she's "world famous", doesn't it?

Generally, if they have to tell you someone is world famous, they aren't, which is why no one refers to Tiger Woods, the Pope, or Bono as world famous while mentioning their names.

Oh, my goodness! Petula Clark!

re: #159 pingjockey

My 15 yr old has appropriated my Pea Coat. He thinks all the stripes are cool too.

i love pea coats. i collect them. the old ones are such quality coats. incredible fabric. really dense wool. warm and water repellent. and those corduroy lined pockets are so toasty. i love the buttons. the one i wear is a 36 regular. it fits so great. they are classic and timeless. and dramatic, the way that collar goes up.
we are a family of pea coat wearers. my husband has his dad's. he used to have the pants. but moths got to them.
i love military garb.

Was done (loooong time ago) before on SNL (kinda). It was like the "conehead family" only these people all talked REALLY loud, it was very funny, anybody else recall those skits?

When I was younger, out of curiousity I once gave my pet mice a White Castle burger. They ate the bun & pickles, the runt mouse picked off the little onions and ate them. None of them touched the meat patty.

I think it was 1991 or 92 Oklahoma City had the Olympic Festival and the closing ceremony was in the football stadium in Norman. Both Bob Hope and Ronald Reagen were there that night. I miss both of them very much.

I have a story about something similar. I got Chinese food at a local (now defunct) restaurant. The "chicken" wasn't looking or tasting so good. I saved it for my dachshund. She smelled it and turned her head, didn't even lick it. If you know anything about hound dogs, they will eat ANYTHING. She has eaten coffee grinds, shrimp exoskeletons, cat poop....etc. I think it was dog meat.

Huh?

the dentistry scene

you know - where Dustin Hoffman is tortured with a drill through the tooth

that's sort of how I feel the moment Randy Newman's clumsy fingers tickle the ivories and that annoying Barney Frank-type voice cranks up with some smartarsed liberal guff....at least I think it is.... the moment I hear him I normally stick my fingers in my ears and scream "Yes it's safe" at the top of my voice
