Advantages: Lightweight & looks great ! Lance wears one ! Disadvantages: Expensive
Having had Giro helmets for a while, and my Helios hat being about 5 years old, I decided to buy a new hat a few months ago. I've worn it sevaral times a week for a while now, so thought I'd let you know about it !
The current advice on changing your bicycle helmet is to replace it after 5 years or so, even if it hasn't been involved in a crash, since pollution, UV light and weathering can apparently weaken its component parts over time. Not sure if this is just marketing hype to make us all spend more money (!), but I've only got one head, and wouldn't want to damage it over being stingy !
Giro has been making quality light-weight cycling helmets since 1985. Giro is the helmet of choice for world famous seven times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, as it is for winners of mountain bike world championships, cyclocross world ...

Advantages: i did ok Disadvantages: some stresses and strains
1) What did you do in 2008 that you have not done before?
I taught English to a class of Germans over the summer. I was terrified when asked to do it but absolutely loved it and was a brilliant experience.
2) Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not that I can think of although almost I have 7 friends who are currently pregnant and expecting their babies very soon!
3) Did anyone close to you die?
No one particularly close to, but someone that I admired very much. A local man who was well known for his dedication to the local carnival and his yearly appearances as father Christmas at various occasions. I had know him since I was little and he was short, a little overweight with a white beard. Throughout our childhood, my brother and I as well as our friends were utterly convinced that he was the real father Christmas! He was ...
Advantages: Very funny, enjoyable melodrama Disadvantages: Not for everyone
Desperate Remedies was written in response to publishers who rejected Thomas Hardy?s first novel, a socio-political story called The Poor Man and The Lady (which was never published and the manuscript was later destroyed by Hardy; a great pity), who wanted a more sensationalist story without the political overtones. The result, although not considered one of Hardy?s best works, is a delightful Victorian melodrama that?s extremely entertaining. The prose is poetic, as in Hardy?s later novels, and the descriptions of nature and landscape are particularly evocative, although not quite a polished as later novels. I found it a joy to read and it?s certainly better than most writers? best works.
It starts somewhat mysteriously with the story of Ambrose Graye, who loses his lover, Cytherea, for no apparent reason. It then skips forward some ...
