How should I dress out at the race track? Most people there are quite hick-ish, lots of "good ole boys". I want to look cute and in style, but dont want to look overdressed or snotty. i want to fit-in in a way, but still look hot and stylish.
I was thinking cute slip on ballet style tennis shoes... tanks... hoodies with patterns...denim, capris, burmuda shots, or jeans depending on temperature.
Any suggestions? or stores with good stuff to wear??
Please no rude smart *** comments.. serious answers... thanks :)
Girl with race car driving boyfriends.. clothing suggestions?
hm...i used to go in either jeans or denim skirts, and a cute top, its really impractical to get too dressed up though..most of the people who will see ya out there will think you know nothing about cars and will give you the stank eye. The only time is if its an import car event...then its more normal to dress super cute since there are professional models there. But if its like nascar racing then jeans and a cute t shirt and some tennis shoes, same with muscle cars or funny car events. Makeup and cute hair even in just jeans and a t-shirt can look hot.
Reply:heh, I was going to include a snippy suggestion but then I saw your opnion on smart*** comments.
Reply:Stop trying to be better just fix in the company. Over dressing is a problem if you can just wear jeans, blouse and sneaker of comfort shoe will be just find. Not to must be comfortable.

Where can I get Race for the Cure Pink Shoelaces?
At the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Denver, there was a booth that gave out pink shoelaces for a donation of one dollar. Many of my classmates want to donate and get these pink shoelaces too. Is there any company or organization that does this? I've checked out the Susan G. Komen website and the laces were about 4 dollars. The New Balance shoes website asks for a 15 dollar purchase on goods at their stores. Where can I just purchase these pink Race for the Cure laces?

What is Nicole Richie's race?
I know that she is adopted, but does anyone know what race she is? Do you have a good guess? It's really hard to tell because her skin and hair are so light (i know she has dyed it) and her hair looks naturally straight, although i don't think it is.
let me know!

What is Nicole Richie's race?
She is of Caucasian, Black Creole, and Mexican decent. her mom white, dad half black half mexican.. her birth name was Nicole Camille Escovedo
Reply:She's a Mutt.
Reply:black and white
Reply:1/4 black. The other racial makeup is white and Hispanic, but I'm not sure of the percentages.
Reply:her mom is white, her dad is black. They just dont know who her dad is. But they know hes black. They tested Lionel and a couple of his bandmates.
%26gt;%26gt;excuse me hes Afro-Latin...Black and Latino.
She is reportedly the biological daughter of Afro-Latin American percussionist Pete Escovedo and a woman identified only as a backstage assistant on Lionel Richie's 1980 world tour; Escovedo was a member of Richie's band[citation needed]. Reportedly, Nicole's mother was never a factor in her life, and Escovedo raised her alone. Escovedo took Nicole to Richie's shows and recording sessions, and she became something of a mascot for the band.[2]
Reply:Yea, a lot of people have diasgreements on everything but Nicole Richie is white.
Reply:Oh she is just tanned from that gold dust. I'm pretty sure she is white.

Recommend a mtn bike shoe for a wide foot size 7.5?
I am training to ride a not very technical 40 mile off road race. I like riding my road bike as well (possibly even more) and would prefer to buy mountain bike shoes. What shoe would you recommend that comes in a wide width? What pedals would you recommend? And any good sites with great pricing?
Recommend a mtn bike shoe for a wide foot size 7.5?
check out http://www.specialized.com
they can fit almost anyone with a quality shoe
Reply:DEAR JOSHUA,
THIS MAY SOUND CRAZY BUT I WOULD HAVE TO
STRONGLY SUGGEST A COMBAT BOOT.
CHECK OUT A MILITARY SUPPLY STORE.
BECAUSE MOUNTAIN BIKING...IS MORE LIKE WAR.
Reply:Carnac has a wide toe box. Sidi makes one in the "mega" which is a wider width than their standard shoe. The SPD pedals are probably the most common. They are even available with a platform around them for a larger pedal surface. The Crank Brothers eggbeater pedals are similar to the SPDs in that some versions also have a platform. The eggbeaters are 4 sided so it doesn't matter which way is up (as opposed to the double sided Shimano pedals). You can nose the cleat in, step down, or catch the back edge of the cleat first to clip in. They are a more open pedal and harder to clog up with mud that the SPD pedals.
Reply:I have a wide foot too, and can't wear many mtn biking shoes. The 10 point answer is a pair of:
Shimano, mine say SPD on the side, and they look wider and more like a shoe than most of those small SIDI's and such.

Amazing Race??? Nicholas & Grandpa Donald?
after 3 weeks of watching the Race,, I've come to see what a slacker Nicholas is!!! so far he has made his 60+ year old grandfather , do the Pole Volting to where I thought the poor old gut was going to have a stroke,,, milk the Camel and risk being "kicked " in the head,,, catch that poor chicken himself {when help was allowed} and the final straw was last night when digging for gold that The Strong 23 year old told poor old Pops ,,,can you jump into the water to pan for gold because you have "THOSE " shoes on? '' Sneekers" in which they were both wearing...Truth was , Nickolas didn't want to get his feet dirty!!!! %26gt;%26gt; I CANT BELIEVE WHAT A SLACKER ,,,this so called boy is!! question is??? has anybody noticed this besides myself or am I just being too sensitive toward the elderly???
Amazing Race??? Nicholas %26amp; Grandpa Donald?
Yeah what's up with that !
Another slacker is DK who is always making Rachel do all the challenges.
Haul the furniture, milk the camel, ride the bike etc. While he stands there on the sidelines and cheers. Not a fair trade off much like the situation with Nicholas and Grandpa. Except poor Grandpa is 40 years older !
Reply:Yeah, you may be too sensitive on this issue. The grandpa seems to be able to take care of himself. It will be funny when the grandpa has done so many of the road blocks that the grandson will have to do the remaining ones. Hopefully he will get stuck doing the worst ones.
I like that grandpa. He is probably my favorite guy on the show. I loved the episode where he was talking about how "hot" those latina sisters are. He is hilarious.
Reply:grandpa had on sandals
boy you dont notice very much for someone who thinks so strongly
have u noticed that nicholas is carrying all of grandpas equipment where ever they go?
you are just wrong on this one completely
also grandpa said he worked on a farm and had more experience milking animals and that he also worked in a mine for a time
jesus i only catch glimpses of the show when my wife has it on and I catch more than you do

Should i get this horse?
Okay so here is the story. I inquired about a horse and i am going to see him tommorow. I posted this question a couple days ago but i am going to include some more information this time around. So he is a thoroughbred and when he was two he got shin sore from racing. He then took some time off and then went back to racing until he was 4. He is now 5 and cam off the track a couple months ago, i want to know would he be sound enough for jumping. As jumping is not as much stress as racing is? I have included a picture from his add and a video of him moving tell me what you think. Also please know that he has no shoes on in the video because they are working on his feet.

Should i get this horse?
I would definitely suggest seeing him before making any huge decisions as you need to judge yourself in person how the horse moves (videos never can give better detail than being there yourself). Also, talk to the owners about what the vet has said concerning what the horse should and should not do, as they are trained to identify these things and what may cause future problems/damage. Plus, it depends on how much jumping you are going to have the horse do. If it is constant and tires both of you out, it is probably not going to be good for him in his state, but if you are just doing it offhand or not a lot then it may be alright for him.....like I said though, look at him yourslef and find out what his vet has said.
Reply:he looks like a good horse, but you wont know untill you see him. Just ask all the questions you can think of and ride him for yourself. I'm a little concerned I just saw him lunged and without a rider it makes me wonder how he handles *but maybe I just didnt watch the vid long enough*. but yeah, just ride him ask questions, and he jumped a jump in the vid and looked fine. though he does move a bit stiff, theres nothing wrong with that, you just might have to realize he might cost you some money in supplements and things to make him more comfortable.
Reply:I am also getting a 3 yr old off the track and he is very sound. the shin problem is probably going to reoccur later in his life(maybe) but he will be ok to jump right now. He, like any other horse from the track is going to be a handful, so be ready. Also a vet would be the best at answering this question. But good luck!
Reply:I'm going to be honest - I'm not fussy about him. I find his movement to be very restricted and stiff looking. He is the kind of horse I would always think was sore when I watched him go. He is a little too long and a little too straight in the shoulder for me. I just don't think he moves very well and it makes me wonder if I am seeing the short stride because of his past injuries. He is okay though, especially for 750$.
Reply:I would have a vet evaluate him and give you their opinion on what his future may hold. And make sure it is a vet that is not currently assocaited with the family that owns him, or the stable he is kept at, etc. It would be unfortunate if you were to get him and then have him laid up and possible incur large vet bills due to a recurrence of his shin-soreness.
Here is a helpful website regarding shin-soreness.

I'd never heard of it before so I learned something new too!
Reply:Gorgeous horse! He moves beautifully and looks like he would make a great horse for jumping, but just to be safe i would have the vet come out and let him give you his opinion on the matter.
Reply:and honest opinion, I wouldnt buy him, racing is stressful but higher hights in jumping can be straining and could prob make him go sore alot so if you prob want to jump bigger I would consider another more sound horse preferably off the track with no lameness
Reply:Yes u shold get him he is beautiful but i dont know if he will jump cause hes trained for racing! He might though just a little training! =)
Reply:i would have him vet checked. he is a beauty , but he already has had shin problems. he needed time to recoup. jumping may be a bit too strenuous for him
Reply:Yes Hunter means jumping just for form not time...
Reply:ride him and meet him 1st and if he has no bad manners good jumping and everything you want then yes!
Reply:He's gorgeous, and seems to move fine... but looks pretty frisky. As long as you are willing to train him and keep an eye on his shin problems, he should be good.
Reply:I would say No. He appears to be built a little downhill which means you will have to pull him up off of his forehand a lot. Horses off the track arent the best to buy either. They have a mind set to run, and their legs are usually very thin. Thourobreds are also very delicate. They have an amazing ride, but well... we bought one and he was sound. He started having issues right after we bought him. It seemes like he tried to hurt himself in the pasture, and we have very nice pastures. One time he was out at night and we couldnt find him in the morning. We finally find him.He had a huge gash on his leg, but very SURPRISINGLY it healed with no scar! This horse(your horse) looks like he has a short stride which is not good in the hunter or jumper ring. I would advise against buying him but add your price range into details and i will give you some sites that have great horses! Here are some sites: Equine.com; warmbloods-for-sale.com;Agdirect.com;Cha... Hope it helps!!
Reply:A couple of things:
One, getting him vet checked is the best thing you can do!
Two, hes gorgeous! Very cute, hes adorable!
Three, yes, he should be fine doing jumping, usually, if something like that happens, vets will put a restriction on height. But I wouldn't worry too much.
Hope this help :D
Reply:when you try him out feel down his limbs to check that there are no lumps, bumps or heat as this is more common in ex racehorses. make the owner ride him before you do to check he is safe. try him in an enclosed arena first, over a jump, and in trafic. check he is good in all aspects. try to groom him to check he is friendly. see if he is good to ride with or without company. you could also bring along a friend or more expericed person so have their opinion. racehorses often need rehabilitation as they have been trained to gallop.
good luck- if you need more advice ask for my email!
Reply:He looks like a beauty! He moves very good, and he is graceful. Nice trot, nice canter! When he free jumped it was good too, has good manors on lunge line for being a thoroughbred off the track. I would say he would be a great jumper. Since you are experienced you can definitely get the full potential he has out of him. If you feel like you can handle this horse, then get him. Just a suggestion though, I would contact a trainer if you still feel a little afraid of any of his habits. Good luck! Make sure you go and check him out and bring someone knowledgeable about horses along with you, and a vet to vet check him. Make sure if it is jumping then don't do it too high if he already has leg issues.

People of same race hang out within themselves?
Why do you guys think people of same race hang out with people of their same race? I’m Indian and I work in a big company... I'm looked down upon and talked about because I choose to hang out/talk to everyone. I don’t always have lunch with Indians... and whenever I have to choose who to have lunch with ... I'll choose whoever I'm closer to and that's usually non-Indians. Indians at work will make comments that I’m anti-Indian or whatever else they say. I’ve gotten disgusting looks, smirks when I walk by, etc. Is this my problem or their problem? What would you do if you were in my shoes? And yes I do think it’s a childish issue but if people are talking about it ... then they must think it’s a big deal and now it’s bothering me a little.
Thanks (and sorry for the really long question).

Reply:I would say it has more to do with culture than race. While these can be similar - there are differences. People like to hang out with people who have similar tastes in ideas and thoughts. Maybe you've lived or adapted your thoughts to the other cultures that you've been around. It's rather natural.
IE - I'm white. I married a hispanic man. Even though we live in the USA - for me it's more like I've jumped into his world - like, I've learned spanish, I've learned cultural differences - like I think the hispanic people are generally more hospitable - I've learned a lot. I remember when I first married him, I got the worst looks from sooo many people - so I know what you mean about it being childish. I'm sure my husband gets some funny looks when I walk around with him at the mall or something, too. I think it's more how you deal with it. I just ignored the funny faces. I'm happy - so why should I let my happiness hang in the balance of other people whose opinions I really don't care about? Right?
It's only an issue if you let it be one.
I guess my thoughts for you would be to try to stay balanced. If it bothers you, make sure that if you have lunch with "non-Indians" one day, that you have another meal with someone who is Indian another day. Some day, you'll find someone who shares your thoughts and opinions, who is Indian as well.
Reply:it's their problem. I mean, really.
Reply:you are just a friendly person, but i guess most Indian people like to hang out with other Indians. It's seems like you are friendly to them too. Keep hanging out with anyone you want but still be friendly with Indians. It's not you the one with the problem.
