Have to agree with Giles…

How he behaved and handled things is unforgivable. I'm ok with Zabel, Ullrich and a lot of the others - doping in professional cycling was undeniable for the longest time.

I hope he gets taken to court by his sponsors...

Does anyone know a simple method for editing a video file so that I can adjust the playback speed so that is faster, please?

hectic, on OSX, in iMovie, import your click, then either through Clip menu (@ top), select Fast Forward, which enables up to 10x speed increase. (10x * 10x = 100x speed up if you need to go really fast).

[Snowy]

Follow up, if you're not on OSX, and/or don't have iMovie, and the clip's not too large and you know how fast/long/short you want it to be in total, feel free to PM and I'll do it and send back.

[hectic]

hey, that's great, I will prob do that unless I kludge up something. I am not on OSX (Win 7).

Thank you.

Hey guys, I'm kind of a history nerd. I ordered my first pair of ODs and I was wondering what the history behind the overdye was. Like did Haraki-san come up with the idea or what?

[scroogen]

Haraki-San definitely did not come up with the idea.  Dyeing fibers has been around for more than 5000 years, so who really knows when the practice of dyeing something twice first occurred

Here is an article about dyeing. It mentions overdye used by ancient fucking Greeks to produce different colors.  A little more google searching probably will yield more results but I'm cocked and I think I need to go to bed

^ Thanks for the info!

What's the history of it for Iron Heart? Did Haraki-san decide to make an OD jean or did someone else? How did it come about to make a jean like this? Info like that I would find very interesting

…Um?

Anybody know what kind of shipping fees Aero Leather is charging? Talking about quite light package….

@scroogen:

…Um?

American slang for drunk.  Get your mind out of the gutter, you dirty Aussie.

[bagley920]

I've never heard that used in that context before hmmmm

[DougNg]

Never heard of getting into a fight half cocked? When someone gets into a drunk brawl

[Chris]

I always thought going off half-cocked meant acting rashly, but apparently you're right, Doug.  Learn something new every day.

[Snowy]

I've never heard the expression "I'm Cocked", Half-Cocked on the other hand, totally, and per Chris, is a reference to loading of a gun. Urban Dictionary supports the use of "I'm Cocked" tho. I learnt my new thing today too!!!! :D.

Will XHS denim save my ass in a bush fire?  Or will I go up like a pack of fire crackers?

[scroogen]

They're made of cotton. If you're in enough fire to hurt you and not just messing around IH pants aren't going to save you.

[Qinhan]

^ Neither.  It's heavy cotton which isn't particularly flammable so you're not likely to explode like a firecracker.  Likewise, those few extra oz. might give you some minimal extra protection from radiant heat but it's hardly going to save your ass from bushfire temperatures, let alone flame.
