The small joys today thread (a bit of Yang for FoA Yin of late)

Small for me, but I can assure it was huge for him (total BMX nerd/ripper)- My mate designed the paint for Dave Mirra’s new ironman bike.

He also got to meet Sebastien Langeveld on the weekend and hear how much he liked the design he did for his Dutch national champions bike.

^ can he design the repaint on my bike :wink:

^Just get Jase with a black rattle can and a red sharpie

continuing trouble

Don’t Pass up: Hagel’s LGBT flipflopCal Academy growing (somewhat)Air carrier baby wipes up PR messBobby ‘Blue’ Dull passes away at 83Deen droppedThe event is actually just about 2 periods former and is still providing a clean heading on a regular basis. Much more females in France came to declare that, sure, they too were being sexually assaulted with the diminutive rogue. A structure is apparently emerging. It appears that the French model of “don’t question, don’t show” is related to amazing fellas as well as the most women they target for dangerous idateasia.com sexual advancements.

In a stated claim, a mother who had been also a member of DSK’s politics inside circle explained to her child to never go general population along with her trauma. Now the new mother is different her mind and also girl is spilling the beans beans extremely much like the stack of legumes growing slowly and gradually frosty in The Big Apple. In some cases sufficient will do, for french.

(The French have assemble the pin the blame on on our justice system, that they can wish to mock. I are in agreement that this perp step is really a fake small bit of publicitymongering with the center lawyer or attorney as well as cops, specifically the socalled perp may well be an simple resident grabbed with a world-wide-web of circumstances or corruption. I do believe his case might serve as an opportunity to rethink that entire custom, beloved though it be to television cameramen and their bosses., even though i don’t think DSK is any of those things)

However, the hotel maid in your Nyc condition has been found to own some discrepancies in her narrative and a few lessthanwonderful lifespan information. She might or might not have took part in dollars laundering and drug engaging. She has significant immigration troubles. Along with, she was overheard talking to her sweetheart about how to earn money off the DSK agreement.

She had not been forthcoming with all of these features in previously law enforcement interview. They can make prosecution of DSK in The Big Apple much harder. But it ought to be recognized: Not merely good individuals get raped, and sexual assault will not be a verdict on moral nature. It’s a particularly unpleasant violent offense. Let’s not have the whole set of without doubt intriguing particulars get in the way of that fundamental truth. If rape occurred, it should be prosecuted.

Given the amount of physical evidence involved, some sort of sexual encounter happened in DSK’s room shortly before he left it. There appears to be only two possible narratives. In a, the maid is overcome while using the want to know of DSK’s charisma that she ends changing idateasia.com the linens and will begin rolling available to them.

Maids make that happen regularly. They’re suckers for men on his or her solution to the air-port.

And the sex-related get hold of might have been involuntary about the maid’s piece. She could have been coerced or pressured into obtaining unnecessary making love. My experience with the dynamics worldwide potential customers me to believe the secondary really took place. The district attorney thought he could until the problems popped up, even though i can’t prove that, of course. So (my guess) he has an unreliable witness who got raped, because unreliable people are also victims of violent crimes probably more so, on average, than reliable people.

I actually have noticed a rumor. It has no basis in fact that I know of, beyond providing a colorful and colorable alternate theory of the crime, even though it’s a real rumor. This gossip is everywhere over the Internets; be the endure a particular in your inhibit to figure out.

It would appear that you can find a organization of robust Western people in politics and various bigwigs who, for just a have a good laugh, ship pre-paid prostitutes to each and every other’s areas while they idateasia.com are moving around. It’s variety of like a politeness fruits dish. The deed is accomplished, the giver is shown, and also minor sport keeps going. Presumably these include cosmopolitan men and women that be aware of the telephone numbers of pretty good escort organizations in every serious area.

So what happened in DSK’s room in New York was a mistake. He consideration he was acquiring a current; she thinking she was gaining assaulted. Visualize his surprise when her level of resistance turned out to be actual. He left behind the resort in a hurry and please let other people pickup the jewelry.

Rather novelistic, that theory. These guys, the rich men who are so inclined, seem to have gotten away with this stuff since time began,. That is the only reason it has any credibility. Your only time we find out about it will be when some thing goes completely wrong. , assuming this scenario, he can’t really use it as a defense,. That’s the trouble for DSK. “I believed she was actually a prostitute, your respect. It is my custom to have one before international flights.” And then something like a diamond ring or possibly a racket would come up, affecting popular people and beautiful young ladies, and there’d be 5K perp strolls for most.

Always wanted to paint my track car Advan, that Cervelo looks totally Advan!

Didn’t have to use public transport to get to work today for the first time in months. Massive joy apart from realising that my fitness has gone just a bit.

Haha thanks. I’m not using the title though, total wank.

I was dinging my new fancy-pants spurcycle bell this morning and realised it cost more than my stem, bars, grips, and brake combined…

(Should probably be in the TC thread but made me happy for some reason).

Just finished working for 10 days straight - some of it has been up in cairns which is pretty sweet. The last two days have been pretty full on (14 hr days), but last night it all came together - looking at the venue and seeing how we have transformed it has been very satisfying… And even more so that you hear direct feedback from a VIP, makes it even more so satisfying. I was ready to throw the job away last year but this has been one of the most rewarding jobs I have been involved with.

Half a day off today, then back to it tonight though.

I got to play with lego at work, then knocked off at 3.30 and rode heaps of dirt for 3 hours around some new trails

Nope. You’re wrong about that. You earned it. Use when appropriate.

My friend Tim has poor spatial imagination and couldn’t decide if he could live with an iPhone 6, so…

initial quotes of $50-$60 to get my busted spoke (a bladed spoke for SRAM S80s which apparently you cant get anymore from the distros)replaced, LBS ended up charging me $34 and a spare spoke. Was happy with that.

not sure if cheap/expensive as i rarely pay for things at local bike shops, guess im just happy i spent under the $50 i thought i had to spend.

Got a new job!

Been trying for about 9 months…this one is a pay rise of about 40% above my current; signing bonus; an extra week vacation; all the bits and pieces that profession offices do to help with visa and professional development.

so happy and relieved and excited.

nice work jimmy!!
