The Dube by White Rhino Honest Review

There are a lot of vaporizers on the market today, and the one that most recently caught my eye was that of the Dube by White Rhino. I saw videos, reviews, and recommendations about it, and figured it would be a low cost solution to the problem that I’m having. Well, it turns out that after purchasing the product, it does NOT work like the manufacturer said it would.

The packaging is good, the price is nice, and just like all the negative reviews say the chamber is small. That’s ok, I don’t mind a small chamber, as I don’t need a whole lot when I’m working with dried items. However, the coil and mechanism that is supposed to vaporize the products does not really work well at all. Sure, it heats up, and sure it can start to combust your tobacco, but it DOES NOT WORK like they say.

I’ve seen videos and even read forums from people that say it works, but it the one I have does not.

I sent a message to the company and they have not responded and I will most likely be out the price paid. All I can say is that the Dube by White Rhino SUCKS and DOES NOT work like you’re being told. It may work for waxes, I don’t know, but for dried items it does not work as advertised, it’s one of the worst products I’ve tried, and cannot believe people are still posting good Dube Vaporizer Reviews. I can honestly say that I should’ve saved my money for a Pax.

The Ford Mustang Legacy

The Ford Motor Company today has a long legacy of muscle cars under their belt, but none more iconic of their history is quite like the Mustang. The Ford Mustang has been a long time standard of excellence, but not without a few changes throughout the years, as it has gone through quite a bit of changes both in body style, engine style, and the court of public opinion in the past. Since the inception of the vehicle in 1964 it has been one of the major competitors to American Muscle Cars. While it is difficult to summarize the complete legacy of the vehicle, some of the major turning points an milestones of both technology and design can be placed firmly on the first generation, second generation, and third generation of Ford’s iconic “pony car”, which they created.

First Generation

In 1964 the concept of a compact car was foreign, although the Ford Falcon seemed to be a good fit for the company, they decided to go through some changes and make a sportier edition, and it was a year later that they officially put out what would be known as the “pony car”. This inspirational design change and upgraded to the original Falcon is credited to John Najjar, crafting the car’s initial designs based on the classic fighter plane, the P-51 Mustang. The initial design was sleek, fast, and originally demonstrated as a racing vehicle. Over time through the first generation of the designs through the early 1970s, this icon would grow dramatically in weight, size, and style.

Second Generation

With the mid 70s demand for more fuel efficiency the car went through some changes both cosmetically and under the hood. The car change was modeled after another Ford design, the Maverick, and was well received but did not compare to the powerhouses that were released in the last years of the first generation of Mustangs. This would of course change in the mid to late 70s as the demand for power introduced the Cobra. The King Cobra would also rattle cages as a fast introduction in limited edition versions that were good on gas, but heavy on the gas pedal. With Lee Iacocca at the helm, the second generation of this iconic car, the Maverick design would turn out to become what most car enthusiast recall as the Pinto generation of Mustangs from Ford.

Third Generation

Perhaps the best known Mustang, outside of classic car enthusiasts is that of the third generation. The change of the platform would come in the late 1970s and the range of options were enormous. The car would get a new platform, modeled in the Fox platform style and would have a smaller engine, sleeker design, and better gas mileage. While this new change was more than cosmetic, marketing the vehicle initially took on a more “power” approach, until the early 1980s where the car was marketed predominantly to women.

This third generation was plagued with problems in the early 80s with some of the engines catching fire due to Ford’s shortcuts on the overall drivetrain. There are two styles that came out of the 1980s edition, but the technology boost helped make this car one of the more reliable and customizable vehicles to come from Ford’s Mustang line up.

Current Generation

There is a deep history for the classic muscle car from Ford, and while it’s difficult to canonize the complete history in a brief manner, the aforementioned quick points will help anyone understand a little bit about the vehicle’s history. Today’s current generation of muscle is a far cry from the original, but it still packs a punch, and will most definitely become a classic in years to come.

Sons of Anarchy Marathon

Sons of Anarchy is quickly becoming one of my favorite dramas on television. I’ve blown through three seasons of it so far and each episode tightens the screws on a fictional biker gang and the happenings of a small community. I find myself compelled to look into the whole biker world a little closer, and remembered that I looked into it previously. I remember watching a lot of documentaries, and stories about the world of biker gangs, and of course, I love the classic exploitation films that surround the option. I may not be able to ride a motorcycle, or even drive stick right now, but I’m definitely fascinated by the whole thing.

The show had me getting a bit bored towards the end of season 3, but somehow, someway they turned it all into an amazing season, and I loved the way the widening gyre turned into a very narrow and well executed plan of action. Every time I see the credits role, I’m reminded of how much goes into a show like that, and am not sure why I waited so long to start watching more of it. It’s really a well written, well acted program with a great deal of heart, even though the lines of hero and antihero are drawn very differently.

As far as I’m concerned, the show is one of the best, maybe even better than Breaking Bad. I have added several books about the genre on my amazon wish list and will definitely be purchasing a great number of them in the near future. For now, the Sons of Anarchy marathon continues at my home, even though I currently do not subscribed to cable television.

Pulp Fiction is Making a Comeback

When you search for pulp fiction on the web today, you end up getting information on the movie. I have nothing against the Tarantino flick, but when I search for this type of information, I am looking for books. I didn’t know this until recently, but classic crime novels are being reprinted, and new editions are being written. One of the more famous writers of our times is getting in on the fray. Stephen King’s Joy Land is one of the latest books to be released from the new imprint Hard Case Crime, pushing out the style to readers that are looking for classic stories in a new era.

This is great news for those that are writers, or those that are just looking for something to read while commuting to work or home. If you’re interested in pulp, or want to read the latest from hard boiled detectives to lesbian stories, you’ll find that punk rock and hard crime fiction are related. I for one am fascinated, and if you want to get in on the action, you can buy some of these books online. I’m excited about this imprint and hope that I can one day write for these guys over at Hard Case Crime.

Glam Rock Matters Today

I have to say that I am in complete admiration of digital media today. You can buy books for under one dollar and it can easily be delivered to your electronic reading gadget of choice. My girlfriend has a Kindle Fire HD and despite my early protests, she seems to love it and now I want one too. Admittedly, I had the original one and sold it when times got tough, than I sold hers when times got tougher, and now I do not dream of selling hers off again because she loves it that much. But back to the point I was trying to make, or rather a few notes on the notion that Glam Rock Matters, there’s a new book out by Mark Dery that is being published by Boing Boing. The mighty website is going into the ebook business and the book “All The Young Dudes: Why Glam Matters” explores the notion of the rock music that influenced a generation. While this is not a huge novel, it is a cheap and easy ready that will get you thinking a little more about how music influenced an entire generation, and continues to push the boundaries of thought.

I guess in some ways, music makes the perfect companion for writing, and it’s something that I definitely feel is worth writing about. I myself have started many music blogs, have written for magazines, digital publications, and even online zines, only to find myself not going very far with that aspect. Maybe after picking up Mark Dery’s latest, I’ll get inspired to write more on the influence of musical genres and what not that have shaped my blogging experience. Or maybe I will just read it, think about it, and let it sit in the Dead Sea that I call my world. I mean, I am talking to an audience of none here. Either way, pick up the book by clicking here, and see where glam has influenced modern culture.

An Adventure in Writing

I was staring at this coffee can that has been repurposed as a pencil holder, and decided to start this new adventure in writing. My name is Jorge, Sir Jorge if you're reading online, and I have a lot of thoughts, ideas and write more than you or anyone else you know. I do it 10 hours a day, and most of it is ghost written and I am trying to make a living at it. This morning I spent an hour or two working out the finer points of how much money I need to earn in order to live in Los Angeles, and the cost of living here requires me to have a job that pays at least $18 an hour before taxes. That means that after the tax cut, I can survive with a few cents left over. Not exactly the best thing in the world, but no where near the worst.

Cafe Llave comes from the coffee that I use every now and again. At the moment, however, I'm drinking Don Francisco's "Northwest" blend, which is a darker roast and has to be a favorite around the house. At the present I am a stay at home worker, and am looking for opportunities to get more work.

This blog is really a daily diatribe of things. I'm going to post a lot of things all the time, because this is going to be my place on the web to literally dump content into. They say it's king, so let's hope it works out for the best.

1983 Ford Mustang Commercial

I was born in 1983, and the Mustang once again was released, and it was marketed to women yet again. Oddly enough the years before this one were not great, including the engine that would catch fire, causing many to question whether or not Ford would even keep producing this car as a muscle car. It wasn't exactly flying off the shelves, but here is the commercial anyways.

1981 Ford Mustang Commercial

From what I read today, the 1981 Mustang was no longer a work horse, or a power monger. Instead it was about as fast as the Pinto, and the gas mileage proved to be great. 4 Cyclinders and no longer speedy, marketed to women as a great car, and well, here's the 1981 Ford Mustang Commercial.

I like the body, but slow moving? I don't know.

1980 Ford Mustang Commercial

The year gap between the release of the 1979 Mustang, and the 1980 edition seemed to bring about little changes. I read a great deal into it, and realize that the cars are somewhat different, but in many ways they are similar. Currently, I am on a quest to figure out how I can go about purchasing a 1979 Automatic Mustang. My father's first major car purchase in the United States that I recall was this one. Well, at first he purchased a few Hugos and lemons throughout the Inglewood area, but would settle on the 1979 Ford edition.

I'm not sure how much he paid for it, and I do not know the mileage that he had put on it when it finally died on him. He was continually working on it, weekends mostly. It drove him to and from work, and it was all stock. I recall it had a cassette player, and it was white. I'm assuming it was the hatchback edition, but can't really denote since memories are fuzzy. My dad wants to claim that it was a 1969 edition, but I've looked into the body styles and it was definitely not a 69 edition.

He had it for a good 15 years before it was dead. He was crossing an intersection when a drunk driver hit the car, t-boned it and totaled it. The 1979 White Mustang went to car heaven, and he now drives a Suburu. I know, a far cry from the classic car of my youth.

Well, the 1980 commercial was cool enough for me to talk about another quick bit on the Mustang. Here it is, the classic 1980 Ford Mustang commercial.
