The Derby Dish: Diary of a “fresh meat” derby dame Episode 5: Clean Bearings are the way, and the truth, and the light.
By: Roadside Bombshel #3165
Cleaning my bearings was a mind blowing experience.
I knew I needed to clean my bearings from the angry squeaking sounds they were making and the fact that a bunch of my wheels weren’t spinning very well. But I avoided it because (a) I didn’t know how (b) I didn’t have the equipment and (c) what’s a bearing?
I mean, what do I look like, a fucking mechanic? Equipment should just always work. But putting off the job wasn’t making my wheels roll any better, so I had to take action. As it turns out, cleaning them was pretty straightforward once I got the right tools for the job. And wow. It I am so glad I did it. Before, my dirty bearings barely moved…and now they are shiny and dizzy from all the spinning they do. I was high on life (or was it Varsol fumes?) afterwards and even still. I feel like I have moved a level up in the skating game because now I know exactly what I am rolling on. I am stoked to learn more about my equipment and eventually upgrade.
Here are some tips for those of you who are thinking of cleaning yours.

Lisbeth Salander: feminist or franchise?
By: Samantha Anderson
- image from www.squidoo.com
At a truckstop diner two men discuss the shortcomings of women affected by misogyny:
“Yeah, I’ve dated one of those…they have trouble in relationships.”
He takes a sip of his coffee looking down at his plate of hamburger steak, “there are so many messed up women out there, who’ve been like, sexually abused…I think over 50 per cent.”
His colleague concurs.
“Yeah, you can tell right away.”
“There’s nothing you can do,” he says, looking out the window, “it’s sad…all these messed up girls…”
The men continue eating.
But what happens when a “messed up girl” becomes the driving force behind one of the most popular crime series to date?
Steig Larsson’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest have sold over 20 million copies in 41 countries.
