For years I ran Pirelli's Strada tires on my SVs and loved them for their grip and life. When I needed new tires last time the Stradas were no longer available, having been replaced by the Angels, and I was talked into trying out the Pilot Road 2Cts. While not a bad tire, I don't feel as comfortable on them as I did on my Stradas.  I think I'm going to try out Angels this time around. I'm at the wear-bars on both the front and the back so I'm going to be needing tires soon. Have any of you used Angels? I have one friend who's used them and he doesn't care for them. Of course, we are two completely different body-types (he's about 5'7" at 135lbs soaking wet) and two completely different riding styles (I'm a bit more conservative). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rmrk2Q5R_8

Horrendous! Originally shared by Paige M Warning, this is extremely graphic and upsetting. What has happened to the medical minds in the "hospital?" I cannot understand. Patients are patients, there is never politics involved and if there is then it's time to remove yourself from the case. There are no words to express my shame and sorry for these select few in our military who have created these horrific conditions for the people requiring treatment. It looks so bad for the rest of us, and oh, the human suffering at our hands. 11.2 BILLION a year for this hospital, and this is what we do with it.  http://www.buzzfeed.com/rebeccaelliott/horror-hospital-the-most-shocking-photos-and-test

This is the question: To stay with T-Mobile and continue to pay nearly $90/mo for spotty (data) service and slower than expected HSPA+ speeds, or switch to Sprint via a friend's family plan and save about $50/mo from my T-Mobile bill/ Pros: cheaper to switch Cons: loss of account control, slower speeds (Denver has WiMax, but no LTE). Voice coverage is decent with both, but T-Mobile's data coverage has been very spotty for me to the point where I can sit in the same location for an hour, use it, and watch as the service goes in and out. So, any Sprint users out there have any advice? Both companies have the Galaxy SIII, but on T-Mobile I would also consider the OneS. [edited: to change a period to question mark]

That sucks. Google defended itself against Oracle but are letting the phone manufacturers fight their Android battles. I'm sure Google has decent lawyers, they need to be in this fray.

Did someone say vanilla ? A little BDSM, just how the Colonel likes it.

That was weird. As I was opening the G+ app suddenly my notifications tray says my SD card has been removed. So, somehow my battery cover and battery were removed while the phone was in my hand. Then, when I pull the tray down, the whole phone reboots. Whoa!

Sigs, signs, everywhere there's signs ... This is hilarious! http://work.failblog.org/2012/07/18/job-fails-theres-no-way-this-can-be-a-coincidence/?fb_ref=newcontenthole

There is something that occurs on G+, and I'm sure other social media outlets, that really annoys me. Something I should have brought up before however I usually ended up talking myself out of actually saying anything. I think now's the time. Linkshares with no comment. Let me get this straight, I'm not talking about sharing someone's post (although the same annoyance applies), I'm talking about people who share from reader, from +1 buttons or who share via manually plugging an URL into the share box on +Google+. I'm talking about those people who share a news story or a website without any comment of their own -- either they're sharing the content with no comment or they've cleverly copied and pasted a line or a paragraph from the content into their post, as though that somehow mitigates them from actually having to have an opinion on the matter. I share a lot of content, especially from mobile GReader. And I'll admit, from mobile I keep my comments

A couple of years ago I found out a sister of mine was pregnant via a random post on Facebook. It wasn't even her post, it was a friend of hers posting on her wall.  I was annoyed and a little pissed that I, her brother, didn't even get the courtesy of a phone call. I found out my other sister's wedding was a week before I got to Florida last December. I was not invited because that sister is a bitch. She hates me for no reason whatsoever than because her mother (my stepmom) doesn't like me. Yesterday I learned, on Facebook again, that my younger (but not youngest) brother, is now engaged to his girlfriend of more than 10 years.  Here's how it went down: Him -- Thanks for all the well wishes on the enagement, it will be in Vegas in Feb of 2013 Me -- There's an engagement? Him -- Yes there is. Me --  Who? What? When? Where? Him -- You seem a bit confused by the whole process. There was a question, there was an answer and now there isa plan to get married next Feb

A few years ago the Boy Scouts defended its right to ban gays from its ranks.
