AUGUSTA COUNTY -- Fog can create treacherous driving conditions, but so can high winds and freezing temperatures. Leaders of the Virginia Department of Transportation know this and track the weather conditions with weather sensors all throughout the interstates.
"We gather a lot of information and there are towers that you actually see in the median," said Sandy Myers with VDOT.
That information is used to help track weather conditions to keep drivers safe.
One thing most drivers may not know is that while the air temperature may be above freezing, the ground or pavement might be below freezing and cause icy conditions.
That's why there are sensors in place to measure not just the air temperature, but also the temperature at the ground through 17 inches below the pavement. Then VDOT workers ensure when there are dangerous driving conditions, drivers will know about it.
"You will start seeing signs miles before you hit Afton Mountain."
Weather may not help driving conditions, but VDOT leaders said bad weather only accounts for 3 percent of the crashes in the Afton Mountain area. Animals and distracted driving are more common causes.
VDOT leaders said it's simple for drivers to stay safe. All they need to do is pay attention and slow down.

***** Homeland Security and Terrorism: Readings and Interpretations. By Russell D. Howard, James Forest, and Joanne Moore; published by McGraw Hill, www.mcgraw-hill.com (Web); 400 pages; $39.95.
Remember the legal flap between Bill O'Reilly and Al Franken over the use of the phrase "fair and balanced?" With today's punditry being largely polemical, "fair and balanced" is more often an ideal than a reality.
That's why this book is a remarkable achievement. It actually presents an even-handed, contemplative debate on homeland security, terrorism prevention, and terrorism response. The book is a collection of essays written by distinguished experts in their chosen fields. If insightful commentary leads to productive problem-solving, then this book is a catalyst for solving national security challenges.
The book is smartly organized in five sections. One of the strongest sections is the first, which lays out the framework of the new face of terrorism. It covers the evolution of terrorism, strategic challenges in counterterrorism, and the disconnect between government and policy.
Sections two and three address U.S. infrastructure vulnerabilities and national and local threat response. Particularly intriguing is a standout chapter on improving intergovernmental coordination by use of a theory called auto-adaptation.
Section four presents a spirited debate on the U.S. Patriot Act and civil liberties. Recently reauthorized by Congress, the Patriot Act gives the government expanded authority to track down terrorists. Some say it's too much authority, others not enough.
Finally, section five concludes the book with lessons learned from past responses to communication failures during disasters, epidemics, and bioterrorism threats. The key chapter covers risk communication, a must-read for public agencies and large employers given the current threat of pandemic.

My daughter and nephew are attending this school. The school is a little old, but the overall it is OK. Teachers have been very helpful with them and caring. My daughter had no problem adjusting to the school. Her teacher Mrs Lojeck was great. And made learning fun, The Principal (Hope Keenom-Doran), always has been very friendly and reachable. We came from Puerto Rico. My daughter knew English already and she has done great. My nephew did not know English. They have a ELL program, which has helped him. Although the teacher does not speak Spanish, which I think would have been better for him. We have enjoyed being part of this school.

The original maquette for the life size Bridge I was made in plastilina. This material does not harden, or support itself over wide spans, which is why there is a steel rod holding up the figure's back. The maquette's size makes it too small to build from plaster. To make the piece permanent I am replacing parts of the maquette one at a time with a special mix of Portland cement. In the pictures the light gray parts are plastilina, and the darker gray indicates that the plastilina has been cut from the wire armature, and special tinted cement has been modeled over that armature.
Custom Portraits
Ned LaBonne offers custom portrait sculptures to interested individuals. Most often sculptures are ordered as a portrait of one's self; one or both parents; one or more children, or adult children; or to honor an individual. Is there someone you would like to see sculpted?
For information about custom sculptures, contact us at
About Ned LaBonne
Ned Labonne grew up in New York, the son of respected portrait painter Eleanor LaBonne. He graduated from NC State and spent 2 decades honing his craft in the boroughs of Greenwich Village. He now lives in Nashville, TN, a thriving artist community in the southeast, where he can finally devote his time to his arts. A discussion with Ned is available here.
About Thea LaBonne
Thea grew up in Nashville and received her arts degree from Peabody College before moving to the Big Apple. She is the abstract eye in the LaBonne couple, and appreciates the complexity of form and shadow in both 2D and 3D form. She is currently working on her digital arts skills at Nashville Tech while forming her voice as an artist.
What's Hot in the Nashville Art Scene
Two new art galleries are opening open their doors in Nashville's growing visual arts industry.
The Red Arrow Gallery comes to Nashville by way of Joshua Tree, CA, and will open in East Nashville's Riverside Village, with a focus on contemporary arts. Also, in the flourishing Wedgewood-Houston arts district, the David Lusk Gallery is set to open next door to Zeitgeist. The 2,500-square-foot space will open in an industrial building rehabbed into sleek gallery space.
"Working with Ned and Thea has been an absolute pleasure. They work hard with their clients to provide a bust that can be proudly displayed in our home. From the initial photography to the final touches, you can see the care and attention to detail."− Tom Holt
"Ned LaBonne's show at the Centennial Club was our best-attended event yet! Our patrons loved the caring eye and attention to detail in his pieces. He has quite the discerning eye for the human form."− Sarah Cartwright, Centennial Club
"I love the maquette pieces! These small works of art sparkle with life, and provide delight in the simple aspects of life. They are a happy addition to my glass display case."− John Adams

November 27, 2014
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) - The International Olympic Committee has opened a 2022 Winter Games bidding contest without an expected favorite.
Switzerland looked to host its first Winter Games since 1948, but a regional referendum in March rejected the St. Moritz-Davos bid project as too expensive and disruptive.
Norway's capital Oslo could be a strong candidate in a campaign amid tough economic forecasts. National Olympic bodies must propose host cities by Nov. 14 and formally apply by March.
The IOC says its executive board will select the candidate list in July 2014.
IOC members will vote on the host city at their assembly July 31, 2015, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The IOC also seeks bidders for the 2020 Youth Winter Games.

31300 - Orofacial Stimulation Test (Fehrenbacher, Henry, Hargreaves method)
The Orofacial Stimulation Test by Ugo Basile measures hypersensitivity to thermal or mechanical stimulation of the trigeminal area. Rats voluntarily contact a thermal or a mechanical stimulator with their vibrissal pad (unshaved) in order to access a food reward.
Metrics obtained are the duration of feeding and the number of feeding attempts, measured by interruption of an infrared barrier traversing the opening to the reward. Feeding duration and number of attempts are strongly dependent on changes in the applied thermal or mechanical stimulus.

Diablo III Auction House, Going Once, Going Twice… March 18, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in Diablo III, entertainment.
Tags: auction house, Reaper of Souls
Today's Diablo III patch is set to pull the auction house out of the game. There is, of course, a FAQ for this.
Some are building this up as a really big deal. And maybe it is.
The combination of the auction house and the questionable itemization of the game led to a situation where the auction house got out of hand, much to Blizzard's surprise. Or so they claim. It seemed to me that the itemization was going to drive people to the auction house almost immediately after launch. Others were saying it in beta. But we all came with the outsider's point of view, and I have been in enough organizations where the prism of focus has distorted our view of the world as to be unable to see the oncoming train.
And the quote in that link above points to what Blizzard's goal, which was to control/eliminate third party sales of game items and currency.
People who use "Legit" in their site names are clearly evil. *cough*
And a noble goal that was, given that such third parties often end up causing problems for the game. It even appeared to work. Pity about the hyper-inflation. When your game is compared to Weimar Germany, it is never a good thing. That wasn't helped by a bug that let people create gold out of thin air.
So, after much consideration, Blizzard came up with a plan. As part of their shipping Diablo III for consoles, they redid the itemization and did not include an auction house. When that seemed to go well, they moved to roll those changes into the PC version of the game as part of their ramp up to the Reaper of Souls expansion.
At the end of February we got Diablo III version 2.0, which included a number of changes.
Itemization… or Loot 2.0… was clearly the most important, and it looks good so far. I have not been back to the auction house… nor have I felt any need to go there… since we got this. I am also pleased with the change in difficulty levels. Being able to go straight to Hard mode was good.
Today we say farewell to the auction house. Whether you loved it or hated it, it is now in the past.
And in a week we get the Reaper of Souls expansion. Sales figures on that will be the test for these changes. When you just sell the box… and Diablo III sold very well… and are not worried about subscriptions of cash shop sales, your work is pretty much done. You want to support the game, but as sales taper off, there is little financial motive to make big changes. Unless, of course, you want to sell an expansion.
People have been coming back to Diablo III to check out the 2.0 changes. And things have looked pretty good. But sales of the Reaper of Souls expansion will be the referendum on the whole thing. Diablo III sold 3.5 million copies in the first 24 hours (a number which I am guessing counts the million World of Warcraft subscribers who got the game for "free" by committing to a year long subscription) and 12 million copies in the first year. (Which also points out how important the PC platform is to this game. XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions came out well after the 12 million mark, and the last quarterly report pegged Diablo III sales as reaching 15 million units.)
So this will be something of a referendum on the game and its changes. If Blizzard cannot move a couple million copies next week… if they don't have a press release out about sales… that won't be a good thing.
I am still torn on the expansion. I was leaning towards getting it, thinking that at my rate of progress I would be ready to jump right into a brand new Act V at about the time it went live. And then my Diablo III play time got interrupted with one of those "always online" issues again.
Other online games were fine, including WoW. But Diablo III was unplayable. So I went and played WoW.
Now I am about a third of the way through Act III. I could still catch up and be done and ready for Act V if I pressed hard, but that strays into making the game work, and I like to explore every corner of the map as I play. So I will likely hold off on the expansion until I am ready for the content. And I probably won't be there next week.
In the mean time, according to the shut down FAQ, you have until June 24th to claim or clear out anything you have sitting in the auction house. And it will remain a legend and cautionary tale, as well as proof once again that economic efficiency can transcend fantasy. Or as Edward Castronova put it:
Being an elf doesn't make you turn off the rational economic calculator part of your brain.
We are what we are.
- 1. Jenks - March 18, 2014
I'm glad I saved my $120~ on this one, but with all the positive changes I keep hearing about maybe I will wind up picking up a couple copies when the game + expansion get discounted.
- 3. Matt - March 18, 2014
I made about 12 million gold in the final days of the AH, just from crap that I had lying around like gems and essences. They'll all be worthless at 70. RoS looks like an attempt to get away from the baggage of the Wilson model wholesale. Poor Jay Wilson.
Always online does rankle, especially when the console version is free of it. I find that Blizzard's servers are as good as you can probably get, but I still get the occasional hiccup.
- 5. Xyd - March 19, 2014
I miss Diablo I — things were so much simpler then.

Longing for my old rotating TV antenna ...
I can't tell you the depths of depression I felt when Olof announced that he wished to add additional service to our Time Warner Cable Internet and TV accounts.
"Olof," I pleaded. "Do not feed the lions."
I have to say, in fairness to Time Warner Cable (TW), that our Internet service has performed almost flawlessly (except, of course, when their cable TV technicians disconnected it while trying to fix our endless TV problems). They even repaired the cable for free when Winston the Wonder Dog chewed through it during one of his early visits. One of our fundamental problems is that the TV cable installation (done separately from the Internet installation) was totally botched to begin with, requiring some dozen follow-up service calls, endless replacement boxes, and it still has a sound that cuts out and a picture that breaks up. We rent an On Demand movie, pay for it, then get a message saying, "That movie is not available at this time." (Do they only have one copy?)
Time Warner Cable (their motto: "We can't fix anything") has consistently earned its national Bottom 10 customer satisfaction ranking year after year. Every time I have to deal with them, I think nostalgically of the ever- reliable rotating antenna I used to have on my roof, which actually produced a picture and sound.
So I told Olof that if he wanted additional service, he was ordering it and taking the day off to wait for the TW Cable guy. I even gave him the whole script: They probably won't show up when they're supposed to. They will not achieve what they are there for. But when they leave, you discover they've broken something else. They have this down to a science.
Olof, an innocent, says, "It's a really straight-forward installation. I don't see how they can mess this up."
I was intentionally out during the appointment time. When I came home, Olof was looking very unhappy. He'd told them when he made the appointment that all our TW Cable wiring had been run under the house because of our fragile plaster walls. But the guy who shows up says he doesn't go under the houses. Plaster walls or nothing. He leaves.
Olof, a TW Cable virgin, has forgotten to make sure that everything else works before letting the cable guy escape. Sure enough, our TV service is out.
I call and get Clint. Clint promises 100-percent absolutely that someone will come back by 7 p.m. to do the new installation and restore our cable TV service. It is currently 11 a.m. We call throughout the day. Not to worry, they say. We're on the schedule.
At 7 p.m. I get Brandy but ask for a supervisor. Brandy promises that if I will hang up, a supervisor will call me back "in 10 minutes." Like I was born yesterday?
"No, thanks," I say, "I'll hold." Twenty-five minutes later Brandy is back on the line. Sorry, she says, all the dispatchers, technicians and supervisors have gone home. They'll need to reschedule installation and repair. First available is Sunday, three days hence.

So how do you defeat Raijin and Fujin?
general tips to do well in FF8, really you shouldn't have any major problems if you're doing these things:
-getting all the GFs
-drawing lots of magic (it takes time but it's worth it in the end)
-learning magic refine abilities
-refining powerful magic from items
-junctioning powerful magic to your character's stats.
if they're dealing lots of damage and you're dieing, maybe you probably don't have enough health. In which case, buy a bunch of Tents, refine them using Life Mag Refine into Curagas, junction the curagas to your characters' HP. This should give you more than enough health. I'm sure you know how to experiment with junctioning, junctioning is what can make this game really really easy if you know what to do.
I imagine that there are tonnes of guides for FF8 on gamefaqs or whatever, giantbomb probably isn't the best place to ask for this. But since you asked here's some tips I can give you off the top of my head for the fights against Fujin and Raijin. For Fujin + Raijin cast protect on your party members. You may want to Blind Raijin too.
This guy did an in-depth video walkthrough/playthrough of the game on youtube, if you don't like reading I guess you could search through the videos and go to the place where you're stuck so he can give you some tips.
I hope you enjoy the game!

Kendall Skye is a huge fan of the Denver Broncos, and the WWE developmental wrestler even took the journey to New Jersey to watch her favorite NFL team play in the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, they were soundly dominated and defeated by the Seattle Seahawks, though.
Prior to becoming a star in professional wrestling, Ahmed Johnson, whose real name is Anthony Norris, played middle linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys for two seasons (1990 and 1991). He wasn't a big star, nor did he receive a lot of playing time, so he's not remembered by too many NFL fans.
After playing football collegiately for the University of Miami and professionally for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, Lex Luger made his way to the NFL when he signed with the Green Bay Packers. Unfortunately, though, he never played a single regular season game for the team.
3AWrestling has booked themselves a pretty big show on March 29 in Ontario. Jeff Jarrett, Jim Duggan, David Hart Smith, Karen Jarrett and Robbie MacAllister (one half of the Highlanders tag team in WWE a few years back) have been signed on as headliners.
"There is no real comparison, that is like comparing a diamond and a chunk of coal. Vince McMahon is an absolute master, he is a brilliant man, you take a look at going up against WCW, Ted Turner and that whole organisation. Turner gave us all no cut contracts; Hulk Hogan, Brutus Beefcake, Bret Hart, and myself all went to WCW. Vince then took all the cast offs like Triple H and Steve Austin and turned them into global superstars and once again he was on top. You've got to give Vince credit, he is not your friend, if you want a friend go buy a puppy, Vince is your boss. He will use you and make you money but when the time is right he will flush you down the toilet and won't think twice about it, welcome to the real world."
- Jim Duggan on Eric Bischoff
There will be a winners panel at the Royal Rumble 2014 pay per view, and the three former WWE stars working that segment will be Ric Flair, Jim Duggan, and Shawn Michaels. The trio will help kickstart the event.
While his shoulder surgery was a success, Jim Duggan is in a lot of pain at the moment. The former WWE star was supposed to post some pictures on Twitter to update his fans, but someone had to post an explanation instead.
After raising some money from fans, Hacksaw Jim Duggan has underwent shoulder surgery. The WWE legend has informed fans through Facebook that doctors found the damage to be worse than initially thought, but that everything went well.
Fans have sent in more than the $6500 that Jim Duggan needed to get shoulder surgery.
Diamond Dallas Page is helping Jim Duggan in his attempt to raise enough money for shoulder surgery.
Former WWE star Jim Duggan is trying to raise money through donations so that he can pay for his shoulder surgery.

The upcoming BMW 6-Series Coupe will come in a 640i flavor, featuring the turbocharged inline-6 series dubbed the N55. This configuration has so far not made it to the US on the Cabrio version, but Autoblog.com has confirmed that the 640i will make it here in both Coupe and Cabrio versions when the coupe arrives this fall.
The N55 is a TwinPower turbo 3.0L inline-6 pumping out 316HP and 332ft-lb of torque in European spec.
In addition to the N55, Autoblog has also learnt that the AWD xDrive … CONTINUED
Hartge has begun its tuning program for the new 6-series. Thus far, the Hartge 6-series is equipped with a stainless steel sport exhaust system, 19″ or 20″ Hartge wheels, and lower springs which lower the car by 30mm front and 25mm rear.
No info on yet what cosmetic aero parts will be forthcoming.
The interiors of Hartge car can be equipped with Hartge mats, steering wheel, and aluminum pedal set.
An astute (and camera equipped) site member spotted this Le Mans blue F13 6-series coupe M-sport on the way to work this morning. This is the first time we have seen the 6-series coupe M-sport prototype with the actual M-sport wheels, which we uncovered last month. Thanks to LeMans335xiE90 for his efforts, as he was 1 hour late to work for bringing us this video.
The official release and announcement of the 6-series convertible is coming today. Autoexpress has already printed photos in their latest edition and BMW insider Scott teases with the same announcement. Stay tuned to our homepage!
We bring you the first sighting of the next generation 6-series coupe (F12) testing on the Nurburgring. The last coupe sightings were back in April and only F13 convertibles have been spotted since. This comes as no surprise as the coupe is scheduled for production a few months after the start of convertible production.
Judging by the exhaust and premium sport wheels, this appears to be a 650i coupe.
Here is the BMW announced production schedule for the F12 / F13 6-series coupe and convertible.
March 2011 … CONTINUED
The upcoming 6-series has been one of the most frequently spied future BMWs as it's one of the BMW models that will be revealed in the next few months (Winter of 2010/2011). This is the first time a blue convertible has been spotted and also some of the best photos yet of the grill/duct work of the front bumper. The profile shot shows off the incredibly sleek silhouette that the F13 6-series convertible will have.
Follow our full 6-series coverage here: http://www.bimmerpost.com/6-series/
We recently brought you photos of the F13 2012 6-series convertible undergoing testing on the ring. Various F13′s have also been spotted on and around the Nurburgring in various models and trims, including what looks to be 650i and 640i convertibles.
We bring you photos of the F13 6-series convertible sporting a tan color soft top for the first time. We have not yet seen confirmation of the soft top colors to be available on the upcoming F13. If this tan top is one of those colors, it certainly matches Milano Beige (as pictured), but were not sure it will work well with other exterior colors.
The soon to be outgoing 2010 6-series convertible is currently available in a black or … CONTINUED
This 650 F13 6-series convertible has hit the Nurburgring with less camo than previously seen during its track testing. To recap, this next generation 6-series will very closely follow the design lines that have been set fourth with the BMW Concept Gran Coupe.
We bring you the most revealing top-down photos yet of the F13 6-series convertible – a 640, as well as a top-up 640 convertible in a new color. The 2012 6-series convertible will have a traditional folding soft top (but a factory fitted optional hardtop will be available). Production of the 640 convertible will begin in September 2011.
Here is the BMW announced production schedule for the F12 / F13 6-series coupe and convertible.
We bring you the first photos of 6-series convertible test cars in different colors and configurations. Previously, only a milano beige F13 6-series has been spotted, but we now see the stunning convertible in both silver (650i) and red color (640i). The silver 650i wears some beautiful wheels weve not yet seen, which transforms the whole look of the car (for the better), in our opinion.
Here is the BMW announced production schedule for the F12 / F13 6-series coupe and … CONTINUED
Resident photoshopper extraordinaire, Gerald Alvarez, has put together this new rendering of the upcoming F12 6-series coupe based upon the newest F13 6-series convertible photos and the BMW Concept Gran Coupe (which was said to be an approximation of what the 2012 6-series coupe will resemble).

Friday, August 12, 2011
The Kansas Department of Transportation awarded a grant of nearly $30,000 that paid for a new DUI trailer, a couple of generators, and safety equipment, such as traffic cones and safety lights.
The new tool will be used to assist law enforcement when they conduct DUI check lanes.
"We've all seen reports of drunk drivers running into vehicles that are parked," said Sheriff Bob Hinshaw, Sedgwick County. "We've had several run into law enforcement vehicles. This will make it safer for the people that are operating the checkpoint."
Hinshaw unveiled the new trailer on Friday, during the kick-off event for the annual "Drunk driving. Over the limit. Under arrest" campaign. The crackdown on alcohol-impaired drivers will last through Labor Day weekend.
"Unfortunately, that's a problem that hasn't gone away yet. Everybody is working hard on it. In Kansas, we're one of the few states that our alcohol numbers aren't dropping as much as other states and we'd like to get a handle on that," said Pete Bodyk, traffic safety manager for KDOT.
The DUI trailer will accompany officers and deputies during DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols in the region. Officials said the trailer is only the second of its kind in the state, with Kansas City having one already in operation.
"I'm very happy to see this trailer because it really will help with check lanes. They've always kind of been dangerous for the officers. I think this will help significantly," said Tom Weilert, Sedgwick County assistant district attorney.
Hinshaw said this regional tool functions much like a command center to carry equipment and can be used in the event of a natural disaster. They already have plans to upgrade and include sobriety tests inside the trailer.
The trailer will make its debut this weekend when the Sheriff's office will use it during a DUI check lane in northwest Sedgwick county.
Last year, there were 904 total drunk driving arrests. Since July 31, there have been 505 arrests.

Guy Coulon to crew chief for Andrea Dovizioso
By Matthew Birt -
09 January 2012 14:46
French engineer Guy Coulon will work as Andrea Dovizioso's MotoGP crew chief in the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 squad in 2012.
The Italian rider had initially wanted former Team Roberts and Suzuki crew chief Tom O'Kane to join him at Tech 3 next season after he left the Repsol Honda squad at the end of 2011.
But even though Suzuki decided to suspend its participation in MotoGP until the 2014 world championship campaign, O'Kane turned down the Tech 3 approach.
Dovizioso worked with Coulon during his Yamaha 1000cc debut at the two-day Valencia test session back in November and has decided to work with the vastly experienced engineer, who most recently worked with American Colin Edwards since 2009.
Coulon initially intended to step away from the Tech 3 MotoGP squad this year to concentrate on being Technical Director of the team's Mistral 610 Moto2 project.He was also to commence work on a new MotoGP chassis that Tech 3 intends to develop for a CRT project in the future.
Tech 3 boss Herve Poncharal told MCN: "Andrea was very keen on Tom but when it was clear he wasn't going to join us we had to look at some other options. But there is nobody available with Guy's experience and nobody who has such knowledge of the Yamaha YZR-M1. I think after working well with Guy at the Valencia test that Andrea realised that he wasn't going to find anybody who was going to be a better option than Guy. Guy also likes the way Andrea approaches working on the bike, so I think they are going to enjoy a successful relationship together."
Former 125GP world champion Dovizioso is currently recovering from a broken right collarbone he suffered during a motocross training accident in Italy last Thursday.
He underwent successful surgery on Saturday and is expected to be fit for the opening test of 2012 at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia that kicks off on January 31.

Thanks, Benny H ...
Good stuff, thanks Man. Pete Benson would be a good assett to have in one's crew.
Can't wait for the 2012 season - partly to see how the new 250cc 4 Stroke singles go in Moto3 where they have replaced the old 125cc strokers. From what I have seen so far - they are certainly pretty things - but if they can get close to the screaming strokers in their outright Lap times is another matter again.
Honda will be well represented with their off-the-shelf base bike - the NSF 250R - weighing-in @ only 84 kg and pumping out about 36 Kw or some 50+ HP. Pretty fair, isn't it ? Especially considering a good Norton Manx with a 500cc single cylinder put out about the same!
The beauty of these wee beasts is that anyone can buy one @ US$35K and around 24K in Euro's. This is heavily modelled on the 125cc RS 125R so the chassis etc is very well proven and it will handle like a scalpel.

Coulon is one of the most genuinely nice & gentlemanly guys in GP and hugely experienced. When he isn't busy on the GP circuit, he amuses himself by utilising his legendary fabricating skills by actually making almost entire motorcycles!
Back in the 1980's Sochiro Honda saw one of Coulon's swingarms and was so impressed he got HRC to buy the rights to it. Coulon's latest effort is a 300cc, 6 x cylnder oddity that revs-out to 22,000! He created the pistons and even machined crankcases etc from solid billet and designed his own gearbox. Talented doesn't begin to describe him. His close buddy, ace French fabricator, Daniel Mercier says he will replicate Guy's bike for anyone who wants one - at a price, of course ...
He (Coulon) was charged with Involuntary Manslaughter mid-season last year when he accidentally reversed the Tech 3 transporter over a motorcyclist and killed him at a French toll gate near Le Mans. A lesson there - NEVER be too close and out of the HV driver's field of vision, ever - even when stationary! As he is obviously still out and about very probably means that he escaped doing time for this tragic accident.
For those interested, ace Kiwi GP spanner-twirler and long-time (12 years?) HRC bod, Pete Benson was with Aaron Slight and the RC45 in WSBK & was also with Doohan and others way back well B4 Hayden. I last heard of Benson with Scott Redding's Moto2 Team in 2010. Also, I have a faint tug of memory that Benson has gone back to live in NZ - also that he was originally an Aussie. Stand to be corrected here and if anyone can update the info - that would be good. Cheers

Vincent Restaurant..... French cuisine my bottoms
Dear people who have put favored opinion of Vincent here, you may want to dine around a bit more to realize all you get at Vincent is a fancy corner with Orchestra hall in sight.
Alright to the food. I started with a French Cabernet ($10 glass), now from the taste I can tell this bottle has been left open for far longer than one should, beyond that, I can buy a bottle of Cabernet from napa valley with more nose, texture, flavor and finish than what they served for a lot less. May be I am being too picky on wines, so lets look at the appeitizer which was 'calamari and braised duck'.
Very interesting choice, I was intrigued if those two go together, well after eating I can say, no they don't. Duck was decent, a little over cooked but may be I am not educated in french preparation of duck, although it tasted more like a chinese recipe especially with pickled vegetables in it. Calamari was cut in rings and just dropped over it, no preparation, overcooked and almost felt like eating rubber bands. Again, may be I am being too picky and calamari is supposed to be served blend, overcooked with no seasoning in French cuisine.
Next comes the Vincent burger, yes the one which has been praised by many on this blog. I can point out 50 spots in twin cities with better burgers. For $15, this burger is a disgrace. Again may be with all the dutch cheese I have eaten, I am being picky on gouda flavored paste they put on the burger, I mean how much more you would need to charge before you can cut a slice of decent Gouda and place it in a burger. The beef had no flavor, it was cooked well, I will give credit for it, but if you are going to compete in minneapolis, you have to season your meat, bring out a unique flavor and finally, while I can forgive most mistakes, for a restaurant to call itself french and then serve a soft soggy bun is nothing more than insult to a burger and anything French. Seriously, frozen packaged fries on the side....these days food carts with 5 dollar burger cut and serve fresh french fries.
The chef at Vincent should be happy not to live during the French revolution because this was the meal that would have gotten him/her in front of line to guillotine.... Good bless the first amendment, right to free speech and right to serve whatever crap you can cook and call it french.
re: MplsM ary
I'm with Mary. Any restaurant can have a bad day/meal/service, but the real issue is how do they respond to poor performance.
Did you let them know the wine was off? Did you inform them the calamari was overdone? Did you ask to speak to a manager?
If you don't attempt to give the restaurant a chance to correct it's errors, you wind up sounding like a big whiner, especially when you have no posting history here.
Personally I have never been to Vincent, but I trust the judgment of most of the people on this board.
re: bkmnus
+1 bkmnus
I'm sorry that you had a lousy experience at Vincent. While I have not eaten there recently, I have had several excellent meals there in the past. And, like you, I think that the Vincent burger is over-rated.
My suggestion for you, though, would be to order French food at a French restaurant if that's what you're seeking. Try the escargot, the moules frites, or the cassoulet. If those don't do it for you, then so be it.
My DH and I ate at Vincent 2 weeks ago. We had the prix fixe menu with the wine pairings. Everything was delicious. The item we liked the least was the beef tenderloin. I think my favorite was the scallop. The tasting menu didn't include anything the original poster ordered.
I look forward to the "50 Better Twin Cities Burgers" list, but I guess that would be another thread. I would also enjoy the "Delicious Dutch Cheeses I Have Eaten" list.
I guess I don't mind adding to the tangent part of this since the original post is...uh...interesting.
My 2 cents: In the 5-6 years since I've had it, I haven't had a worse burger than the Vincent Burger I stupidly ordered for lunch one day. I won't claim to be able to list off 50 places with burgers I would rather order (although I think I could), but they royally screwed mine up. I actually WOULD HAVE said something -- for sure that it was cooked to death and was dry as a bone -- but the server never came around again after dropping off my food. I had to get up to track someone else down to pay my check. It was like the server had disappeared into a black hole. And I also thought the fries sucked.
But....like MplsMary said, I wouldn't judge the entire enterprise based on that one experience, especially given the choice I made.
Burgers better than The Vincent Burger
The Paul Molitor at The Nook
The Jucy Nookie at The Nook
The Triple B Burger at The Nook
Guy's Big Bite at The Nook
The Lodge Burger at The Nook
The Frenchy Burger at Blue Door Pub

The Twin Cities Burger at Smash Burger
Every burger at Culvers
Every burger at Red Robin
re: EricShawnSmith
I'll respectfully disagree. While the couple of times I've had the Vincent Burger I haven't been overwhelmed, I'd still put it above just about ever burger on your list.
No, the Vincent Burger isn't one of the top 5 in the Twin Cities. And perhaps it's time for Vincent to take another look at his build. While I've enjoyed it when I've had it, I kick myself for getting a burger at a French restaurant. Everything else I've had at Vincent's I've enjoyed greatly.
re: EricShawnSmith
I'm not a fan of the Vincent burger, though my husband is, but I do love Vincent's frites! Nevertheless, I cannot come up with 50 "spots" in the Twin Cities where I'd rather have a burger (I'll admit: my choices are heavily influenced by setting), though I can't resist the challenge of attempting to do so. What I've realized is that though I swear there are too many burgers on too many menus, I apparently don't order them often.
In no particular order, except that I've deliberately placed Meritage at the top:
1, Meritage
2. Craftsman (though it's been awhile)
3. 112 Eatery
4. The Nook
5. The W hotel room service
6. The patio at Salut
7. The patio at Burger Moe's
8. The patio at W.A. Frost
9. Sometimes Bulldog N.E.
10. Piroshki at Russian Tea House--okay, not exactly a burger, but I so love these.
I can also almost name as many burgers I'd like to try that I haven't had: Haute Dish, Butcher and Boar, Happy Gnome (nod to Seige), Barbette, Busters, Victory 44, Travail, Pat's Tavern, Masu, Red Stag, Joe's Garage, Lurcat, Strip Club, Levain, Town Hall, Capital Grill, Anchor, Heartland, Good Day Cafe (all of my GDC experiences have been very meh, but I keep it on my to try list because MSPD thinks highly of this burger and I've yet to try it), Glockenspiel...
But even adding on my "some day" list STILL doesn't get me to 50.
Places deliberately not on the list because I'd rather have the Vincent Burger: Blue Door Pub & any of the Blue Plate Restaurant Burgers & American Burger Bar (all about equal to Vincent's for me). Also, Matt's Burger Jones (though its patio could give it a nudge in the right direction), Hell's Kitchen, Black Forest Inn (what was Dara thinking when she listed this among the best a few years ago).
Let's start with the wine. You should have said something at the restaurant. It is not a bad wine WS 87 points. Just what you would expect from a by the glass program. My guess is you prefer a new world profile. FYI it is a blend with merlot.
I agree with others. You do not go to Vincent for the French food. His cassoulet is best in town. The fries are not frozen.
If you ordered a "French Cabernet" it's likely Bordeaux. It can be half Merlot and half Cab. In France wines are named by the region, in California, wines are named by the varietal. If you had ordered a California Cabernet it would have been made with mainly Cabernet grapes. The difference is huge. Study up on your wines. You can't even describe what you got.
Can't say much about the Calamari, but if something is braised then it's well done. In fact it's normally so well done that it's falling off the bone. I'd expect something braised to be fork tender with just a little tooth.
You need to get your facts straight before you start a critique.
God bless the first amendment, the right to free speech, bad spelling, and the right to critique anything you eat without knowing anything about what you eat.
