The country's first hydroelectric central power station using the Edison system began its operation September 30, 1882. The generator was situated in the beater room of the Appleton Paper and Pulp Company. The three buildings that were lighted on that historic occasion were the Appleton Paper and Pulp Company owned by John Van Nortwick and run by Henry J. Rogers who owned the home on the bluff above, now known as Hearthstone, and Kimberly & Clark's Vulcan Paper Mill located nearby.
Only one other Edison central station existed in the nation. Thomas Edison's steam powered Pearl Street Station in New York City began its operation September 4, 1882. It lit several businesses in the Wall Street area. Read more

Food Blogger Spotlight: Billy from Wit & Vinegar
Where can you find tasty recipes, clean stylish food pics, Moses the dog, the phrase, "voom voom shebang," a generous weekly roundup of other food bloggers and a Beyonce' video? At Wit & Vinegar, of course. W&V is officially my favorite food blog right now and not just because the author, Billy, says things like, "MTV True Life" when he wants to be serious and makes Real Housewives references while he 's describing his latest foodie find.
Wit & Vinegar is Tina Fey meets Bobby Flay! My only question is, when will the Food Network knock on Billy's door and offer him a cooking show? I can see him in the kitchen with Moses at his feet while he whips up a new froyo recipe and comments on the playlist he's prepared for the episode that blares from the iHome behind him while a disco ball turns overhead. YES! I would totally watch that.
More about Billy and why he created his eclectic blog:

Togekiss @ Life Orb
Nature: Naughty/Lonely
Ev's: 252 Atk / 152 SpA / 104 Spe
~ ExtremeSpeed
~ Aura Sphere / Focus Punch
~ Flamethrower / Shadow Ball
~ Roost / Focus Punch
Togekiss is well-known for its high special attack, but due to its ability Hustle, its Attack can be very high as well. This provides Togekiss the ability to surprise and KO some of its usual counters, as well as the ability to end sweeps by frail sweepers.
The key to this set is ExtremeSpeed. With the maximum investment in Attack EVs and a positive Attack Nature, Hustle boosts Togekiss's Attack to 327. When that attack is applied to STAB ExtremeSpeed, it can have devastating results. For example, it deals 47.47% - 55.91% to max defense Blissey, guaranteeing a 2HKO with Stealth Rock and Leftovers taken into account. Similarly, 252 HP / 220 Def Zapdos takes 37.24% - 43.75%, which has the possibility of 2HKOing with Stealth Rock, even through leftovers. These are two of Togekiss's main counters on a standard set, so the ability to deal with them in this way is an obvious boon.
This is especially useful due to the element of surprise. Most players expect Togekiss to be a relatively slow, yet fairly bulky Special attacker, usually relying on ParaFlinching. This can often allow Togekiss to get its first kill unexpectedly, allowing it to end potential sweeps. Here are some calculations for ExtremeSpeed versus common 4 HP / 0 Def sweepers:
Damage Calculations
Alakazam: 100%
Azelf: 71.92% - 84.59%
Infernape: 70.75% - 83.33%
Weavile: 79.08% - 92.91%
Heracross: 65.89% - 77.48%
Salamence: 56.93% - 67.17%
Gyarados: 57.53% - 67.77%
Note that Salamence and Gyarados calculations do not factor in Intimidate
The rest of the set focuses on taking out the Pokemon that can wall Togekiss's ExtremeSpeed effectively. Aura Sphere will always KO 4HP / 0 SpD Tyranitar under Stealth Rock, and has a chance of doing so to 252 HP Tyranitar. It also is effective against many of the Steel types that resist ExtremeSpeed, especially those with a high Def and relatively low SpD. It has a chance to OHKO Heatran with Stealth Rock damage. Focus Punch can be used over Aura Sphere to guarantee the OHKO on Tyranitar and Heatran. It also would provide another possibility against Blissey, guaranteeing a OHKO. However, it requires a much better degree of prediction and will not be effective against many Steel-types, so should only be used if Flamethrower is chosen as the third move, or if Roost is left off the set. Keep in mind, however, that losing Roost makes Togekiss significantly more fragile, especially with no defensive EV investment, Life Orb, and Weakness to Stealth Rock.
As for the third move, Flamethrower provides excellent coverage against Steel types that take Aura Sphere or Focus Punch neutrally. It will OHKO 252 HP Scizor, Skarmory, and Forretress. It will also do 71.70% - 84.34% against 252 HP Metagross and will guarantee a 2HKO against (non-Heatproof) Bronzong and Jirachi. Shadow Ball, on the other hand, provides better coverage against Ghost-types, and will OHKO Gengar and 2HKO Dusknoir, who otherwise pose a problem for this set.
The EVs allow Togekiss to outrun max Speed Adamant Tyranitars, such as DDTar, while still allowing for an optimum spread of offensive power. If outrunning Adamant Tyranitar is not a concern, the EVs can be placed into SpA to further increase offensive power or into HP to increase survivability a little. Naughty versus Lonely depends on whether you expect to take Physical Attacks or Special Attacks more. Naughty provides more balanced defenses, while Lonely maximizes Togekiss's high Special Defense, allowing it to more effectively absorb special attacks, which can be useful for switching in on Alakazam, Infernape, or Azelf.
Hitmonchan @ Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Iron Fist
Ev's: 252 HP / 168 SpD / 88 Spe OR 88 Def OR 88 Atk
~ Bulk Up
~ Drain Punch
~ Ice Punch / Fire Punch / Thunderpunch / Bullet Punch
~ Ice Punch / Fire Punch / Thunderpunch / Bullet Punch
We all know Hitmonchan is usually equipped with a Scarf, a Band or even Agility and Life Orb. But Bulk Up is something you don't see on Hitmonchan every day.
Bulk Up is obviously the key move here, raising Hitmonchan's Atk and Def by 1 level. Drain Punch, with Iron Fist and STAB has a nice 108 power and with Bulk Up, it can deal a lot of damage, thus gaining a lot of health. It 2HKOs Tyranitar while a CB Tyranitar will 2HKO at best with Earthquake.
The last two moves are up to you: Ice Punch hits Dragons in OU and UU and it hits Nidoking, Nidoqueen and fliers in UU.
Fire Punch is mainly for Scizor in OU, so it is the least advised of the 4 unless you want a physical attacker that can survive Scizor's attacks and be able to retaliate with an OHKO.
Thunderpunch is for Gyarados, as the Bulky versions are 2HKOd by it or OHKOd if Hitmonchan has 1 Bulk Up under its belt. You might need to get 2 Bulk Ups with Intimidate but who would be silly enough to switch in Gyarados on Hitmonchan knowing it has Thunderpunch? In UU, it gets Fliers, Mantine, Pelipper and other Waters.
Bullet Punch, finally, for priority. It's not exactly Scizor's SD + LO + STAB + Technician Bullet Punch, but it can still surprise an opponent and get a nice kill.
With a Bulk Up, Hitmonchan can Ice Punch an Alakazam that comes in on the Bulk Up and Bullet Punch to KO, surviving a Psychic. With a Bulk Up, it can survive a +2 Life Orb, Technician Scizor's Bullet Punch and can OHKO back with Fire Punch. It can even survive a +3 Bulky Gyara Waterfall and OHKO back with Thunderpunch with a Bulk Up.
For the EVs, max HP is for survivability, 168 Special Defense EVs will let it survive an unboosted Timid Alakazam Psychic, and unboosted Modest Azelf Psychic, and is only 3HKO'd by a Timid Life Orb Gengar Shadow Ball. It also survives a Modest Life Orb Adaptability Porygon-Z Tri-Attack in OU and survives a Modest SpecsTran Fire Blast. In UU, it survives a +2 Life Orb Flamethrower from a Timid Ninetales.
The remaining 88 EVs go to where you want them to go: 88 Speed lets Hitmonchan outrun Pokémon such as Gorebyss and Omastar before they set up Rain, so Speed is advised for UU play. 88 Defense EVs will give Hitmonchan a bit more bulk; as 1 Bulk Up will let a Choice Band T-Tar only 3HKO, where as 0 Def EVs Chan can be 2HKOd by it. And finally, 88 Atk EVs will give 'Chan a little bit more power, giving it the possibly to OHKO 6 HP Tyranitar variants with Drain Punch.

Scizor @Life orb/Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Ev's: 252 Atk / 252 HP/ 6 Speed
~ Swords Dance
~ Superpower/Brick Break
~ Quick Attack
~ Bullet Punch
As many people know, Scizor got Bullet Punch and Superpower with Platinum. The trick to this set is that it can come in ANY TIME during a battle, as long as it's not your lead. This set relies on the fact that, even if you are fully set up, you do NOT, under any circumstances, let Scizor die. This is because the priority may save you during the last and first moments of a battle.
Now for the explination of the moveset. Many think it's noob to put both bullet punch and Quick Attack on the same set, but they are wrong. Bullet punch is to use when SUPER EFFECTIVE and neutral, and Quick Attack is hit by those the resist Bullet Punch. Swords dance is to boost the attack- but so what if you get Roared or Whirlwindeded? Set up later.
Now, Superpower vs. Brick Break... Quite a tough desicion at first, but you'll know what to use soon as you see it. It honestly depends on your team. I personally use Superpower as my team is so offensive that thyey have no time to set up screens. Superpower, if used with prediction, OHKOs an incoming Heatran.
Let me explain the EVs. The HP evs allow for more neutral and resisted attacks come scizor' s way before you die of stupidity. Attack is a no brainer, and the 6 speed nets you another 1 point of speed.
One of the perks to this set is, because of priority, it can stay in on Thunderwave blissey, to thunderwave Scizor and for you to Swords Dance.
Item is really up to preference. If you want to OHKO more, use Life orb. If you need more survival, go ahead and use Lefties.

Magmortar @ Expert Belt
Nature: Lonely
EVs: 192 Att / 216 SpA / 100 Spe
~ Substitute
~ Focus Punch
~ Fire Blast
~ Thunderbolt
~ 301 Attack is required to OHKO the standard 252 Def / 80 SpA / 176 SpD Calm Blissey. Focus Punch also does significant damage on Bold Blissey and Snorlax, enough for Magmortar to KO them with Fire Blast / Thunderbolt most of the time. 227 Speed is needed to outspeed Gliscor.
~ Fire Blast is preferred over both Lava Plume and Flamethrower as it grants Magmortar a higher chance of KOing Bold Blissey after it has been hit with Focus Punch. Thunderbolt lets Magmortar deal with Bulky Waters, OHKOing Gyarados as well as having a high chance of 2HKOing Suicune and Vaporeon.
~ Hidden Power Grass is an option over Thunderbolt for Swampert, but you then lose the ability to deal with Gyarados and other Bulky Waters effectively. The same goes for Hidden Power Ice, which is Magmortar's only way of dealing with Salamence and Garchomp apart from Will-o-Wisp, which this set doesn't utilize. Lava Plume or Flamethrower can be used in place of Fire Blast for the extra accuracy. However, they are not recommended as this hinders Magmortar's ability to deal with Bold Blissey, as stated previously.
~ 192 Att / 160 SpA / 152 Spe is required to outspeed Adamant Breloom and max +Natured Abomasnow. This removes the chance of 2HKO'ing Bold Blissey mentioned previously in the analysis, so decide on which is more effective for you.

Cresselia @ Flame Orb/Toxic Orb(The triple status Cress)
Nature: Calm
Ev's: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 Sp.Def
~ Rest
~ Sleep Talk
~ Thunder Wave/Move of your choice
~ Psycho Shift
This set is rarely seen and sometimes non-exsistant. The main purpose of this cress is to stall your opponents mon while passing over a status. It has always has the element of surprise as not a single person would expect this yet... The main idea is to swich into a non-lethal attack. From here you may do 3 things rest to regain lost hp, or inflict either a burn or para depending on the mon. The Flame orb helps cripple physical sweepers in general such as machamp, heracross, weavile(if predicted accurately), and many others. The thunder wave is able to cripple pokemon that really on speed such as gengar, jumpluff, and yanmega. The key to this set is the psycho shift!
Created by iceraver101 ~ 11/25/2008
Heatran @ Salac Berry
Nature: Timid
Ev's: 6 HP / 252 Sp.Att / 252 Speed
~ Earth Power
~ HP Electric, Hp grass
~ Lava plume/Flamethrower/Fire Blast
~ Substitute
Again another rarely seen and sometimes non-exsistant set for a Heatran. This Heatran is all about speed. First you switch on onto a weak type mon such as celebi or jirachi. From here you can set up a substitute preventing them from paralyzing you or leech seeding. Then this lets you have one free hit. On the next mon you can either ohko it with one of the moves or set up another substitute. After you get around 25% health the salac berry kicks in making this heatran something to be feared. With this set it can outrun most non-scarfed pokemon only exceptions or deoxys, yanmega, and ninjask(Might have forgotten others). As well as another scarfed heatran.
Earth power is used to deal with other heatran's as well as anything that is resistant to fire and electric.
You may choose on which fire attack would be best for your heatran and your style of play. Lave plume if burning the opponents mon is a priority. Flamethrower for a accurate and powerfull move. And finally fire blast for a powerful but inaccurate move.
You mave choose between hp electric or grass depending on which one is needed more on your team. Electric to take out water and flying most notably gyrados. Which hp grass helps take out swamperts.

Meganium @ Leftovers / Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
Ev's: 244 HP / 216 Atk / 48 SpD
- Power Whip / Seed Bomb
- Earthquake
- Light Screen / Synthesis
- Synthesis / Swords Dance
Power Whip and Seed Bomb, again, is a choice of power over accuracy or accuracy over power. Earthquake OHKOs Heatran on the switch and deals a hell load amount on Magnezone. Light Screen to prevent the significant amount of damage Heatran's Fire Blast, and other dangerous special attacks, will do. Swords Dance is quite self-explanatory here, but you may choose Synthesis if you're looking for a recovery move.
244 HP / 48 SpD may not allow you to survive Scarftran's Fire Blast, but you will be 2HKO'd by it with Light Screen support.
Created by Alonzo ~ 02/02/2008
Raikou @ Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Ev's: 156 HP / 252 Def / 100 SpA
- Substitute / Rain Dance
- Reflect / Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt / Thunder
- HP Grass
Substitute over Rain Dance clearly if this isn't for a Rain Dance team. Reflect is the star of this set as it may allow CBGross to 2HKO with Earthquake. Thunderbolt and Thunder is a choice between power and accuracy, but if you're using Rain Dance, Thunder is the preferred choice here.
156 HP / max Def Bold Raikou with Reflect up limits Metagross to 2HKO'ing you. Rest of the EVs were dumped into SpA, which is enough for HP Grass to 2HKO max HP / 0 SpD Swampert.
Created by Alonzo ~ 02/02/2008
Gyarados @ Expert Belt / Life Orb
Nature: Mild / Rash
Ev's: 228 Atk / 96 SpA / 184 Spe
- Dragon Dance / Stone Edge
- Waterfall
- Fire Blast
- HP Flying
Mixed Gyara ftw. Dragon Dance if you want to raise your attack and speed by one stage, allowing you to outspeed all Base 100s. Stone Edge allows you to deal reasonabl damage to Zapdos, Gyarados, and friends. Waterfall for STAB, Fire Blast to knock out Magnezone, Tangrowth, and Skarmory. HP Flying OHKOs Heracross and deals a lot of damage to Infernape.
Created by Alonzo ~ 12/08/2008
Hitmontop @ Leftovers
Nature: Careful
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP/6 Atk/252 SpD
~ Bulk Up
~ Rest
~ Sleep Talk
~ Brick Break/Revenge
This is a physical version of the famous CMResTalk Suicune. Does exactly the same: it raises it's Atk and Def as opposed to Cune's SpA and SpD, ResTalks
and uses a STAB attack for offense. One thing good about Hitmontop is that it gets Intimidate. This will force switches and let you get Bulk Ups easily.
Bulk Up is the stat up move of the set, basically just grabbing Atk and Def boosts.
ResTalk is for survivability, after all, you can't get all those stat boosts just so you can drop and die can you?
The STAB move is up to you. Revenge will be a strong 180 power move if you get damaged on the turn you use it, so basically, you get a hard hit on the opponent.
Brick Break shatters screens.
Max HP and SpD are necessary to let Hitmontop survive Special as well as physical attacks. Timid Focus Sash Gengar fails to 3HKO Hitmontop with Shadow Ball,
so Hitmontop can just stall a non LO Timid Gengar. LO Gengar however 3HKOs, and will be able to stall a maximum of 5 turns, thus draining half of Gengar's HP.
Porygon-Z fails to OHKO Hitmontop with Modest, max SpA, Adaptibility, Life Orbed Tri Attack and is OHKO'd back by either STAB if Hitmontop has got a Bulk Up
So that's how it works, just like Calm Mind/Rest/Sleep Talk Suicune but it raises opposite stats (Attack and Defense) and uses a physical STAB and not special STAB.

Flareon @ Life Orb
EV's: 252 Satk / 252 Speed / 6 HP
Trait: Timid
~ Flamethrower / Lava Plume / Fire Blast
~ Hidden Power Grass / Hidden Power Water / Hidden Power Ice
~ Substitute
~ Fake Tears
The set is simple, set-up Substitute when you face a Grass/Steel type pokémon and depend of the next opponent's Pokémon. Use Fake Tears, and sweep well with a good fire type move.
With these Ev's, you can perfectly run a Standard Dragon Dancer Altaria, Quagsire and others Pokémon that is a big trouble for Flareon.
The question of the first move depends if you want more power, use Fire Blast, but you will depend of accuraty; if you want a considerable chance of burning, use Lava Plume, but you gonna lose some power; Flamethrower is the best choice if you want just sweep and no depending of accurate.
HP Grass for Quasires, Poliwraths. HP Water is a nice choice, because you can x4 Golems and Rhydons and oblivious, you have the coverage of sweep Fire pokémons too.
HP Ice is if you have afraid of Altaria and the others dragons.
Life Orb will give you more power so it's very important to use it, because Flareon's Sp. Attack base isn't that much.

Three Scottish firms to join Mackintosh's House for an Art Lover
Gareth Hoskins Architects, JM Architects and landscape firm Gross Max have jointly won a competition to design installations in Bellahouston Park, the home of Mackintosh's famous House for an Art Lover.The three schemes - which were picked from 14 submissions - will form part of a concerted effort to transform the park into 'ArtPark Glasgow', a sculpture-led venue for Glasgow's art world.The competition, organised by House for an Art Lover, called for 'imaginative but realistic concepts for structures or installations to be set within the landscape'.The winners will now be built at the rate of one a year over the next three years. They were picked as schemes that would be compatible with one another within the grounds. Each winning team will receive £100,000.The Hoskins scheme (pictured) - which was developed by Gordon Gibb, Scott Young and Alistair Tooze - takes the form of a line along one of the current routes through the park. On this line will be randomly placed 'trade stones', each representing a phase in Glasgow's urban development.by Ed Dorrell

Well, that stinks: Man takes tumbles into Brentwood pit of sewage
"We had to clean him up the best we could," Fire Chief Kevin Lemoine said.
The man, who works for Stewart's Septic Service, accidentally fell into the sewage shortly after 3 p.m., Lemoine said.
Jude Gates, the county's director of facilities, said the pump house is located in front of the Rockingham County jail on North Road and manages sewage from the jail and the Rockingham County Nursing Home.
The facility is used to pump sewage to the wastewater treatment plant.
"We've never had any problems there before," she said.
Lemoine's son Gary, a Brentwood firefighter and emergency medical technician who responded to the scene, said a coworker helped the man climb out of the sewage.
The worker was standing outside the pump house when Brentwood fire and rescue personnel arrived.
"He was in good spirits," said Gary Lemoine, adding that the man still had some sewage on his body.
He suffered minor injuries and was transported to Exeter Hospital where he was expected to be decontaminated by medical personnel.
"Once we got him to the hospital we had to decontaminate the ambulance and anything that got touched," he said.
Gary Lemoine said the man is lucky that he wasn't seriously hurt.
"It was an unusual call," Brentwood police Detective Randall Frotton said.

A glare that can cause injury or bad luck to the recipient.
This is part of the effort to fix Evil Eye (now Magical Eye).
The Evil Eye is a glare or look that can curse, inflict suffering, or bring bad luck to anyone who has the misfortune of receiving it. It's thought to be supernatural or magical in nature, so the person giving it could be a sorcerer or witch. The person who possesses the evil eye are usually characterized as being envious, hateful, or devious. In many countries and cultures, talismans, necklaces, bracelets, and charms are worn to dispel and protect from the evil eye. Some protective talismans are even believed to reflect the glare back to the person who inflicted it. It's not to be confused with Magical Eye, when the eyes themselves have magical abilities.

I am reporting from the bustling metropolis of Peshawar where I have been thawing out after the last few days of subzero shenanigans. Here, for your edification and information , is how you land yourself squarely in the shit in Northern Pakistan....
About 10 days ago I was back in Gilgit (after a trip to Skardu, a small town situated on the upper reaches of the Indus, which you get to by traversing the wall of a steep gorge). From Gilgit I wanted to go to Chitral, which is in the North West Frontier Province and is overlooked by the mountains of the Hindukush. Chitral crouches in a remote valley, reached by a main road from the south over Lowari pass (3100 m). However, an alternative is to cross the jeep track which climbs direct from Gilgit over Shandur pass (3500m), and has been described as "the highlight of any Pakistani off-roading". Now if that isn't a warning to wear your brown trousers, I don't know what is. But did I listen? I did not.
Ken and Carol, Mark and Clare, Near Skardu, Pakistan
Day 1 was sunny and warm, and the Ghizar valley above Gilgit positively glowed. The valley is more wooded and cultivated than any I've seen so far, and the river provided a deep azure contrast to the golden foliage.
The riding became fairly demanding by my standards, being largely an offroad virgin and unused to a road surface, which seems to actively try to unseat you at every opportunity. It seems possessed of a malevolent intent and rudimentary cunning, and has an arsenal of tricks to throw at you -
Here are some of my favourites....
1) Wobble dust - deep powdery dust with big wheel ruts in it, which is found on low flat stretches next to the river. The dust is of course inhabited by small goblins, who grab hold of your front and rear wheels, and make them squirm sickeningly from side to side. Their objective is to pull you so far off course that you end up at right angles to your original direction, at which point you topple gracefully off the bike, while petrol pours from your carb and fuel cap. The goblins then drink the fuel and fall asleep, pie-eyed and satisfied.
2) Gravel traps - Areas of deep traction-free gravel which are found frequently in villages and their approaches. There is not much to do in Ghizar valley, so villagers pass the time by collecting golfball sized rocks, and then painstakingly sanding them with glass paper (it's OK Dan, they've got goggles...)until they are perfectly spherical. These rocks are then placed in carefully dug deep pits, next to comfortable seating areas.
The villagers then wait for passing bikers to provide entertainment.
Connor regressing
3) Big spikies - In areas where small rocks are not available, an interesting alternative is to collect huge great lumpy buggers, which are chiselled to form wicked points and sharp edges. Installing these in the road surface takes many patient hours, but these guys are persistent.
The net result is a kind of ratchet-shaped road with peaks and valleys, over which the bike bounds and leaps with mechanical protest, as your teeth rattle in your head, and your biscuits bounce out of the panniers to be eaten by passing donkeys. So that's where they go, I thought as I bounced closer to Shandur pass, becoming more apprehensive by the minute.
The final ascent to the pass was a steepish slope, though not as steep as my imaginings had made it. I knew for a fact that another biker (Hi Luke, hi Nikki) had made it this way some weeks earlier on a lardy BMW street bike (respect), so it had to be possible. Trouble was, the road surface was a piece de resistance combination of all the hazards previously encountered, kind of like the last level of some masochistic video game. I half expected a big bald muscle-bound bloke with a sword to be waiting at the top.
Shandur Pass, Pakistan
I gave it my best shot, standing up on the pegs as the bike pitched and bucked and the wheel fought for traction. This effort bought me about 200 yards before I lost it into the rocks at the side of the track. The falling off routine, which I have perfected by now, consists of struggling with straps and ties to get the luggage off, and heave the bike upright with my eyeballs popping out, before I lose too much precious fuel into the dust from my dodgy filler cap. I decided to try to get the bike up the hill and worry about luggage later, so I took off again for another 100 yard battle before stacking the thing again into the rocks on the other side of the road with a painful broken-plasticky kind of noise. No time to worry about that now, up again and away.......or not, as the wheel spun and I lost it again into the dust and rocks. This represented kind of a low point for me, as I heaved the bike upright and lost it again five times on the trot. I counted.
Lots of flying dust, the smell of cooking clutch and petrol, lots of happy inebriated gnomes....I was getting nowhere and propped the thing up on a rock, too tired to lift it again. It suddenly occurred to me to wonder what would happen if a jeep crested the rise and came tanking down the hill, as my bike was lying kind of across the trail and both it and me were nicely camouflaged by a coating of grey dust. It is amazing what a bit of motivation can do, and once again I strained to lug the bloody thing upright again, and took off.
Shandur Pass, Pakistan
Swearing incoherently through gritted teeth (this is actually quite hard to do, I suggest you try sometime), we made it over what proved to be the last difficult stretch and I parked the bike on level (ish) ground for a breather. Great. Except that my luggage was now about 500m back down the pass. I have some advice for people who are planning on carrying heavy luggage up a dusty trail at 12000 feet in full bike leathers, but it is not printable.
So that was Shandur pass, and I smugly congratulated myself on the way down the other side towards Chitral, as I knew that the road over Lowari Pass was a dream, a masterpiece of sweeping asphalt, a poem in black tarmac.
Oh foolish, foolish paddy asshole.
But such revelations were for the future as I spent a couple of happy days resting up in Chitral, catching up with Kiwi Brian and Japanese Junko, both of whom I'd met in Gilgit, and who had come over the pass much more sensibly by jeep. The weather closed in a bit, and I was vaguely concerned that the Lowari pass to the south might get a bit of snow (OK , I can laugh now...) but I was waiting for Ken and Carol, who were planning to come in by this route, so I hung on.
The day I finally met them in Chitral, the rain was beating down, and the pass was irretrievably closed. Ken had been one of the last through the previous day, and graphically described how he had effectively skated down the road from the summit, trying to stop the back wheel overtaking the front. If Torvill and Dean had owed a BMW, this is the sort of ice choreography they might have dreamt up. We can only speculate.
Shouting man above hairpin curve
But, I asked, the road is good asphalt, yes? Ken looked at me with that expression which he reserves for clueless poms. It transpires that the road is a churned up dirt nightmare, little better than that which I'd already traversed.. While we were mulling over what to do next, buoyed up by an endless flood of excellent milk chai and the best chips you've ever tasted from a stall on the corner, another stray biker arrived to join us as we sat "up Chitral creek". This was German Mike, who had somehow managed to get a low slung Moto Guzzi cruiser over the Shandur in a foot of snow. If this feat does not earn him the handle "Mad Mike", there is no justice in the world.
Retracing our steps over the Shandur was not an option (both Mike and I went a shade paler at the thought), and the Lowari was likely to be bike-hostile for some weeks. However, the third alternative presented itself.
'Moto-Guzzi Mike' Eierle and Rosi
The ubiquitous jingly-jangly truck is a large Bedford with prehistoric suspension and capable of speeds of up to 0.1 mph on steep slopes, but it does have the advantage on snow of having 4 wheels, which a bike has not. So this was how we came to spend 24 freezing hours in the back of one of these things as it churned its way over the pass along with dozens of its fellows, escaping from Chitral in a window of good weather.
Ken's bike in truck, Lowari Pass, Pakistan
The journey over the pass was enlivened by the frequent long delays as trucks got stuck and were pushed and dug out, or inched past each other on the forty -odd dizzying hairpins which cling to the valley walls. Mike and I were pressed into service as BMW holding up devices, as we all bounced and rattled down the far side, spending more time in the air than in contact with the floor. The driving skills displayed by the truck jockey were nothing short if awesome, and really pushed the envelope between genius and madness.
Trucks in Lowari Pass, Pakistan
We finally descended to the small town of Dir, a room in a hotel which was above freezing point, and the best chicken karai on the planet.
We had escaped from Chitral's freezing grasp for the sum of 1000 rupees each (18 dollars and cheap at the price).
I am now enjoying the sensation of being warm again in Peshawar, and in no hurry to move on.....another pot of chai, please...
More from Islamabad in a few days, Mission control, you can send my parcel of spares now, as I will be there soon to pick it up.
Last days in Pakistan
I spent a frustrating fortnight in Islamabad, waiting for a consignment of spokes from the UK, without which I could not proceed further. Would you believe that spokes for 21-inch front wheels are not available in Pakistan! For want of 36 metal rods, I languished in the living hell that is Islamabad tourist campsite, making my daily sacrificial visit to the subarctic wasteland of the shower block, and haunting the DHL office like an anaemic, hopeless ghost, repeatedly being told:
"Your parcel will arrive tomorrow, or the next day, inish'Allah".
I was glad to finally get moving Eastwards again, and finally left in the company of team Duval, Angela (Honda Dominator) and Ollie (Honda Transalp).
The traffic on the Grand Trunk road to Lahore was its usual anarchic self, which was unfortunate as I hadn't ridden the bike in over
2 weeks and was decidedly rusty. My confidence was not boosted greatly when I lost traction on a slippery corner and dropped the bike within the first ten minutes.
Coping with the cheerfully homicidal antics of other road users was taxing enough, but due to the recent outbreak of Ramadan, it was difficult to obtain any form of liquid refreshment during the hours of daylight from the numerous teashops along the route. So without the soothing benefit of frequent chai-stops, we battled on towards Lahore.
The drivers of the overloaded, colorful and charm-adorned Bedford trucks are a cheery bunch, and you are often greeted by the sight of a truck hurtling towards you in the middle of your side of the road, the driver waving and grinning like a madman.
(We have been told that many of the truck-jockeys smoke opium to relieve the boredom of long hours in the driving seat). This is all very well until you realise that he's actually waving with both hands, and you are prompted to wonder what the hell he's driving with....
Often the truck's cab has about five people crammed inside, all smiling beatifically - the effect is that of a single huge grin which runs the entire width of the vehicle. Very uplifting.
Clare (the Flying Nun), on her XT
Lahore is a vibrant city in much the same style as Peshawar, and we have used any excuse to hitch a ride in the brightly painted motorized rickshaws, which are local equivalent of the black hackney carriage. You haven't lived till you've experienced a ride in one of these supersonic
3-wheeled "comedy cabs". They appear to be exempt from any form of traffic regulations, and are driven by failed fighter pilots (I think...)
I spent the better part of a day wandering round the city trying to find a fiberglass repair shop to fix a damaged plastic side panel, a result of my "smashing" time on Shandur Pass. The Pakistanis are an eternally friendly and accommodating people, and before long I had a self appointed guide and benefactor to aid me in my quest. Very shortly afterwards, I found myself perched on the back of a tiny motorcycle, hurtling through the streets, whilst my ever helpful guide tried to engage me in a debate on the relative merits of Islam and Christianity, over his shoulder, seemingly oblivious of the traffic swerving and screaming in his path.
Perhaps this was a stratagem, as by the end of the ride I was prepared to convert to the bloody Moonies if only he'd let me get off.
So I left with the promise that I would indeed be sure to read the Qu'ran, just as soon as they bring out a children's version, perhaps with pop-up prophets.
The food in Lahore was excellent, as it had been throughout Pakistan - I experienced difficulty in buttoning up my trousers by the end of my stay, and had to cut an extra hole in my belt.
I felt that stockpiling lard in this way would be a good idea to prepare for the assault on India, where I planned to go fully vegetarian.
My last evening in Pakistan was spent watching the numerous kites, which are flown from the tops of buildings in the sunset haze, another pleasingly nutty Lahore pursuit.

The story of the Mumbai terror strike can best be told only through a feature film, says Ram Gopal Varma, who has directed "The Attacks of 26/11", based on the tragedy that took 166 lives.
"26/11 was the most tragic event in India, and more than candle marches and debates on TV, only a feature film can truly capture its grief," Varma posted on Twitter.
The filmmaker's movie aims to capture how 10 terrorists came to Mumbai and executed their plan of unleashing terror in key areas of the country's business capital.
Time and again, he has said the film has authentic facts about the incident.
In the movie, Varma has also included the execution of Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone terrorist who was caught alive and was hanged Nov 21, 2012.
"The Attacks of 26/11" features Nana Patekar and Sanjeev Jaiswal.

Be reminded about this event
Thursday Evening Hours
Open Thursdays until 9 p.m., sponsored by Constellation Energy.
Planning to visit the Walters Art Museum? Check the holiday hours and events.
Why do some works of art appeal so strongly to the human mind? Are artists really neuroscientists, trying to discover new and powerful ways to stimulate perceptual mechanisms in the brain? This collaboration between the Walters Art Museum and the Zanvyl Krieger Mind-Brain Institute at The Johns Hopkins University is a pioneering study in neuroesthetics, a new approach to the neural basis of the aesthetic experience.
Beauty and the Brain is both an exhibition and an experiment. Visitors will be invited to explore aesthetic spaces created by digitally morphing original works of art. Subject areas include modern abstract sculptures by renowned 20th-century artist Jean Arp. Responses from participants will be used to analyze how 3-D shape characteristics define aesthetic preference. The results will form the basis for experiments measuring aesthetic responses in the human brain with functional magnetic resonance imaging.
This exhibition is funded in part by The Johns Hopkins University Brain Science Institute.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Thou shalt not miss this movie
In the Golden Age of Hollywood, the priest was generally a figure of benign, good-hearted authority. Recall Spencer Tracy's Father Flanagan in Boys Town or Bing Crosby's Father O'Malley in Going My Way.
What a long strange trip it's been for the Irish Catholic priest in cinema.
Director John Michael McDonagh's Calvary is a culmination of sorts, even while its protagonist, Father James (Brendan Gleeson) retains the role of kindly adviser, shepherd and parish eminence, in his rural Irish community.
But the abuses and corruption within his church have effectively cut him off at his bended knees.
In the startling opening scene, in a confessional, an unseen parishioner tells Father James of the horrific sexual abuse he suffered as a child. In a state of latent rage, he confesses to a sin he has not yet committed: It is not sufficient to kill a guilty priest. "There's no point in killing a bad priest," he says. "I'm going to kill you because you're innocent."
The date is set for Sunday next. He advises the good father to get his affairs in order.
From there, Calvary proceeds in a seemingly contradictory fashion, as an often comic sketch of a tiny Irish parish, but with a darker, insistent undercurrent of whodunit (or who-will-do-it, as the case may be).
Father James touches base with the members of his flock, each of whom might well function as a station of the priest's own cross. Each has his own personal problems and axes to grind. Wealthy heel Michael Fitzgerald (Dylan Moran) has accumulated great wealth but has been cut adrift by friends and family. Town butcher Jack Brennan (Chris O'Dowd) is suspected of hitting his troubled, sexually uninhibited wife Veronica (Orla O'Rourke). An American expatriate credited only as the Writer (M. Emmet Walsh) asks the good father to secure him a pistol so that he may end his own life before he becomes too infirm, a task not quite befitting a priest. A virginal young man (Killian Scott) consults with the priest about the notion he could join the army as a means of releasing his violent impulses.
A police inspector (Gary Lydon) is found consorting unapologetically with Leo (Owen Sharpe), a male prostitute who speaks in the cadences of a delinquent from a Hollywood movie of the '40s -- a chilling, corrupted echo of those cheeky street urchins remembered from Going My Way and Boys Town.
More hostile: an atheist doctor (Aidan Gillen) spoiling for a fight, theological or otherwise.
Father James's own daughter Fiona (Kelly Reilly) (he was a husband and father before his wife's untimely death allowed him to answer "the calling") returns for a visit, fresh from a traumatic breakup and a suicide attempt. Their scenes together are beautiful in their painful tenderness.
As in McDonagh's last collaboration with Gleeson, the unsung comedy The Guard, the writing here is wonderfully sharp and the performances uniformly excellent. It's especially interesting to see comic actors O'Dowd and Moran fearlessly navigating deep dramatic waters.
Gleeson is just magnificent. His character is a decent man nearly undone by the sins of other Fathers, brought to the verge of tears at one point when a protective dad witnesses him talking to his daughter and assumes wearing priestly robes announces status as a sex offender.
Even so, one is stirred by the character's courage, meeting his destiny with the integrity he prizes above all.

NEW YORK Sheet steel prices held steady this past week amid what sources described as surprisingly robust demand during the typically slower summer months.
"Our customers are doing better. So when they do well, we do well," one mill source said.
AMMs hot-rolled sheet price remained unchanged at $675 per ton ($33.75 per hundredweight), with some transactions also reported in the $680-per-ton ($34-per-cwt) range and significant volumes and areas with import competition seeing lower prices. Cold-rolled prices held at $795 per ton ($39.75 per cwt).
While import levels for both products have been relatively high in recent months, it has not translated to a drop in domestic prices due to solid demand and a variety of production crimps at U.S. mills, including unplanned outages (amm.com, July 29).
"Imports have kind of just been filling that gap," one Midwest distributor said.
Distributor inventories also are at relatively low levels considering demand, sources said, spurring buying activity.
The head of a national service center chain recently said that he thought many distributors had misread the market earlier in the year and postponed buying, only to see prices rise (amm.com, Aug. 14).
In coated products, large domestic mills are reportedly following Charlotte, N.C.-based Nucor Corp.s lead in increasing galvanizing extras due to high zinc costs and robust automotive demand (amm.com, Aug. 8).
"Were telling customers that were going to have new extras soon," the mill source said, citing similar informal arrangements from other large domestic players.
The move was "essentially a price increase on its own," the Midwest source said.
On the import front, talk was ongoing that the suspension agreement on Russian hot-rolled products might be revoked, with one trader expressing surprise that at least one large commodity company was reportedly still offering hot-rolled product from the country.
"When the ax falls, its going to hurt. It could happen any day because its not like a trade case," he said.
The American Institute for International Steel (AIIS) recently warned that Russias move to impose agricultural sanctions on the United States could hasten the revocation (amm.com, Aug. 8).
AMMs assessment for offshore hot-rolled product increased this past week to $600 to $620 per ton ($30 to $31 per cwt) from $590 to $610 per ton ($29.50 to $30.50 per cwt) previously.
The bottom of the offshore cold-rolled sheet market is also said to be firming due to ongoing talk of a trade case on cold-rolled and coated sheet products from China and India (amm.com, July 22) and potentially other Asian countries.
However, India was less susceptible to a cold-rolled case due to its relatively low level of imports for the product, the trader said.
AMMs assessment for imported cold-rolled sheet inched up to $650 to $680 per ton ($32.50 to $34 per cwt) from $640 to $680 per ton ($32 to $34 per cwt) previously.
One East Coast service center source said that his company continues to buy cold-rolled product offshore due to the significant spread to domestic prices.
"Were not that smart, we just dont have a choice," he said.
Sources said prices for imported plate have also risen as a result of strong demand and what has been a wide spread to domestic pricing, with offshore mills recognizing that they can get more for their product in what is a robust market.
AMMs price for imported medium plate increased to $730 to $760 per ton ($36.50 to $38 per cwt) from $720 to $740 per ton ($36 to $37 per cwt) previously.
However, imports are still coming in at a fairly sizeable clip despite the increase, as "theres a significant large enough gap that people continue to consider it," a second mill source said.
Meanwhile, AMMs domestic plate price has held steady at $860 per ton ($43 per cwt) for nearly two months despite high import levels. Sources attributed this to robust demand, particularly from the energy and transportation sectors.
"Were still waiting to see the impact of these four to five months of elevated imports," the mill source said.
Meanwhile, U.S. service centers steel shipments increased 6.9 percent in July compared with the same month last year, while inventories jumped 11.4 percent year on year, according to the latest Metals Service Center Institute (MSCI) data. Canadian service centers steel shipments rose 5 percent, while inventories climbed 0.4 percent in the same comparison.
