(because it is at a clearance store, the sales guy isn't very knowledgeable). Please comment on this skate choice for my wide foot and my skating style (fitness skating)." http://inlineskating.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.about.com%2Fab-inlineskate%2Fmessages%2F%3Fmsg%3D679 Aggressive Scooter Riding "Duh!!! Of course the frame is gonna get damaged once the block wears down! That's why u replace the block when it's worn! Why d'you think people replace grindplates on inlines when they r worn? 2 protect the chassis! The same applies 2 scooters. I woulda thought that would be obvious." http://inlineskating.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.about.com%2Fab-inlineskate%2Fmessages%3Fmsg%3D461.1 ELSEWHERE Eye Glass Lenses That Change Color Chemist Alan Bruzel gives a detailed scientific explanation of how photochromic sun glasses work. http://inlineskating.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fchemistry.about.com%2Flibrary%2Fweekly%2Faa121800a.htm Tissue Glue for Plastic Surgery Plastic surgery guide Toby Mayer discusses the pros and cons of using tissue glue to close an incision instead of a needle and thread. http://inlineskating.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fplasticsurgery.about.com%2Flibrary%2Fweekly%2Faa031901a.htm A NOTE FROM KATHIE Just a short newsletter this week. I'm off to Mallorca, Spain for a week of skating. If I have Internet access, I will post reports and photos during my trip. If not, I will at least try to find an Internet Cafe so I can post some messages on my bulletin board. If you want to contact me while I am traveling, you can try sending email to skategrrl@... or posting a message on my bulletin board. I will have to miss the next 3 scheduled chat sessions, and I might not be able to update my news page and my calendar until I return I return home. But I will fly back to California on April 29, and everything will be back to normal after that. Bye for now!
