Using Directories
The best and
Where to Find the Directories
Here are some of the most widely used Wi-Fi hotspot directories and where to find them on the Web:
Which Directory to Use
As I mentioned earlier, if you are looking for a Wi-Fi hotspot provided by a specific network provider, that network provider is the best source of location information.
If you need to find a hotspot in a specific geographic area, a directory that targets a specific area might be the way to go. For example, China Pulse has the best listings for finding hotspots in China (yes, Virginia, there is Wi-Fi coverage in China), and the Ordnance Survey is one of the best way to find Wi-Fi hotspots in Great Britain.
Otherwise, I find that the best all-around directories for use with commercial Wi-Fi hotspots are HotSpotList and WiFi411.
Getting Around the "You Have to Be Connected" Barrier
The JIWIRE directory, http://www.jiwire.com, has a partial answer to the "you can't get there from here" problem.
JIWIRE has packaged its hotspot directory for easy access by multiple platforms. Supported platforms include Windows, Mac OS, AvantGo handhelds, and online access from
The downloads for Windows and Mac OS are applications that contain the JIWIRE hotspot location database. To keep up to date the application periodically connects to the Internet to get revisions.
To use the handheld directory, you need an AvantGo account (http://www.avantgo.com) and a wireless handheld capable of working with the AvantGo network. You download the AvantGo Hotspot Locator (
To use the WAP-enabled phone directory, you need a wireless phone with a WAP browser and a mobile Web account with your cell phone provider. You can then use the WAP-enabled phone as a Wi-Fi finder by using it to surf to http://wap.jiwire.com. Of course, depending on your service plan, you can expect to be charged for the time you are searching.
Tricks and Techniques
If you've spent much time surfing the Web, you've probably learned some techniques for dealing with search engines provided by sites such as Google, Yahoo!, and even Amazon. Searching a Wi-Fi directory for a hotspot is much the same: There are different tricks and techniques for using each one. In this section, I'll take a look at using my two favorite Wi-Fi directories, HotSpotList and WiFi411.
Using the HotSpotList Directory
Figure 9.10 shows the HotSpotList main window.
Figure 9.10. The HotSpotList search window.
This window is used to conduct searches. (You can also browse by location, as I'll show you in a second.)
To conduct a search, you need to enter a business
Figure 9.11. The search results window.
A nice feature of this search window is that it allows you to screen by network provider. When you
Figure 9.12. You can filter the HotSpotList search by network provider.
The HotSpotList network provider filter includes all the Wi-Fi networks you might ever have heard of, such as those listed in Appendix B. It also includes many "boutique" networks that you have probably never
If you go back to the HotSpotList main search window and click the Browse by Region link, you can then choose a country to browse from the list.
Most of the
Drilling down the next step, if you click on a state link, you will see the cities within that state with hotspots (see Figure 9.13).
Figure 9.13. Each city within the state that has at least one hotspot is shown.
If you click on a link representing a city, you will then see the listings for that city. For example, Figure 9.14 shows the listings for my hometown, Berkeley, California.
Figure 9.14. The HotSpotList listings for Berkeley, California.
The detailed listing provides the address of the hotspot, the Wi-Fi network provider, and a link to more detailed information about the hotspot. For example, Figure 9.15 shows the listing for Pacific Ironworks, a local climbing gym where my son Julian had his
Figure 9.15. Detailed listings provide further information about each hotspot.
If you ever plan to visit beautiful, downtown Berkeley, be sure to bring your mobile Wi-Fi device and visit Pacific Ironworks. Even if you don't do any climbing, you can
Using the WiFi411 Directory
The main window of WiFi411, shown in Figure 9.16, doesn't provide a way to drill down by region (as HotSpotList does), but it does add a few useful
Figure 9.16. The WiFi411 main window.
One of the most useful things about WiFi411 is that you can search by type of hotspot. Figure 9.17 shows some of the results of searching for a coffee shop in Berkeley.
Figure 9.17. Search results for a coffee shop in Berkeley.
The type of search is determined by selecting a type from the drop-down list shown in Figure 9.18. (You can also choose All types, and not filter based on type.)
Figure 9.18. You can search for a particular type of hotspot by searching from the list.
Perhaps the most useful feature of the site is the roaming feature. If you filter your search results using a Wi-Fi network provider, when the results are returned, a Roaming check box is displayed. (You can see this check box in Figure 9.19.)
Figure 9.19. The Roaming check box appears when you select a network provider.
If you check the Roaming box and search again, the new results will show not only your network provider's hotspots, but also hotspots that are
You might not want to roam; you might just want to stay home. But whatever your call, WiFi411 is one of the best hotspot locators of all.

Despite Lack of Snow in Southern Areas, Spring Flood Potential Normal
March 4, 2010
AUGUSTA, MAINE — Despite a "topsy-turvy" winter that has brought far more snow to Washington DC than to Maine, spring flood potential is in the normal range for the time of year, according to Maine's River Flow Advisory Commission. The Commission, meeting today in Augusta, reviewed information on current hydrologic conditions across the state, as well as short-term weather forecasts.
"The snowpack in the headwaters of our major rivers is in the normal range for the time of year, thanks in large part to the storm last week," said Bob Lent, Director of the USGS Maine Water Science Center and co-chairman of the Commission. "There may be a sense of complacency that the flood risk is over because there is very little snow in the southern part of the State, and the very visible ice jam in the Kennebec is gone. But risk factors for spring flooding are still there."
Heavy rains can cause flooding at any time of year. However, additional risk factors in the spring include snowpack, frozen or saturated ground, and river ice.
The headwaters of the Kennebec, Androscoggin and Penobscot Rivers have an average 5 to 7 inches of water contained in the snowpack, with locally higher amounts, according to this week's survey. This puts most of the headwaters areas in the normal range for the time of year.
According to the National Weather Service, the outlook for the next 8 to 14 days is for higher than normal temperatures, and lower than normal precipitation. However, this general trend this does not preclude a rain event that would increase stream flows directly and through snowmelt.
Although the major ice jam on the Kennebec River has dissipated, some ice jams remain in Piscataquis and Franklin Counties. Ice also remains in Aroostook County rivers, although slightly less thick than normal.
River basin managers report that their spring drawdowns are progressing. The operators of Maine's storage dams typically draw down reservoirs in advance of spring runoff. This allows them to hold back rainfall and snowmelt during a spring flooding event. However, smaller river basins do not have storage dams, and dam operators cannot hold back water in a major rain event. Last week's storm in southern Maine demonstrated how heavy rainfall can bring up flows quickly and cause flooding in smaller river basins such as the Salmon Falls or Mousam in York County.
Preparedness is the key to minimizing the impact of flooding or of any emergency, according to Rob McAleer, Director of the Maine Emergency Management Agency, and co-chair of the Commission. Families, schools, communities and businesses should review their plans for flooding emergencies, as well as their flood insurance coverage.
"Spring conditions can change rapidly," said McAleer. "Stay aware of National Weather Service forecasts as the spring progresses. Talk to local officials and your County Emergency Management Agency about flood preparedness in your community, and how to build an emergency plan for your family, business or school. And, it is most important to check your flood insurance coverage if you live or have a business in a flood-prone area. Most home and business owner's policies do not cover flood damages." New flood insurance policies generally carry a 30-day waiting period before taking effect.
Commission members will continue to stay in close communication throughout the spring season. Snow surveys will be conducted each week from now until the snow cover is gone.
The River Flow Advisory Commission meets annually in late winter to share information, examine potential for spring flooding and to renew operational protocols. The Commission is composed of state, federal and industry representatives with an interest in hydrologic issues. The full report of the March 4 meeting will be available at http://www.maine.gov/rfac, along with weekly snow surveys and many information sources concerning flooding.

Fund Overview
Investment Objectives
The Mairs and Power Balanced Fund (MAPOX) seeks to provide shareholders with regular current income, the potential for capital appreciation and a moderate level of risk by investing in a diversified portfolio including bonds, preferred stocks, common stocks and other securities convertible into common stock. In addition, the Fund seeks to provide a current income yield of at least 25% greater than that of the S&P 500 Index, although there can be no assurance that this objective will be met.
Principal Investment Strategies:
The Fund emphasizes investments in common stock and other securities convertible into common stock as well as fixed income securities. Preference is given to higher rated investment grade fixed income securities (Baa or better by Moody's Investors Service). Lower rated convertible and non-convertible debt securities may be purchased if, in the opinion of the investment adviser, the potential rewards outweigh the incremental risks. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities. The Fund seeks to keep its assets reasonably fully invested at all times, to maintain modest portfolio turnover rates and to moderate risk by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income securities.
The Fund is offered on a no-load basis, which means that you pay no sales charge for the purchase or sale of Fund shares and no 12b-1 marketing fees. You will, however, incur expenses for investment advisory, management, and administrative services, which are included in annual fund operating expenses.

Human Rights Watch is increasingly circumspect about escalating volatility in West Darfur, which is controlled by the Sudanese government and boarders Chad. The porous border and diverse armament of groups in the region is ominous and representative of the hostile region.

Whatever the outcome of the current round of peace negotiations between Sudan's government and rebel groups, the crisis in Darfur seems likely to drag on. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council is planning a transition from AU peacekeepers to an expanded, UN-led force.

I love the staff at this school, they are so sweet and helpful. It is rare to walk into a school and find that everyone is so great, but this is certainly one of them! The only complaint I have about it (and the reason I did not give it 5 stars) it needs a better Special Education program. My son has a minor learning delay, has been classified as special ed his entire time in the education system but the only program they had for him was to stick him in a class of severely disabled children. He was basically forgotten in the midst of the day-to-day chaos that would ensue (although, I absolutely loved his teachers because they communicated with me on a daily basis) and was not taught anything. He would also get scared by the way some of the severely disabled kids behaved. Otherwise, everyone in that school was/is fantastic. It is a shame to see some of these schools who have a staff that is there for all the right reasons not have the funding to offer what a minority of the kids need.
Top notch. Nearly all of the staff is very engaged and professional. (One teacher's aid is a bit embarrassing, i.e., kind of aggressive with students, shrill and not very professional, general behavior more appropriate to a tavern. Not a good role model, but aware staff does a good job tempering the ignorance.) My child did well there and received so much conscientious, caring, and insightful support from the majority of the teachers, staff, and principal. The principal, and school counselor are amazing. Genuinely invested and interested in supporting and guiding students to their best selves. They have a good bead on what's really important, and you can count on them to get to the bottom and resolve issues - not as politicians, but as sincere educators.
I have worked in several schools during my career and this one tops the list. The principal and staff are fabulous. They are very dedicated to educating all children and working together to do so. The principal is present in all classrooms on a regular basis. Parents are welcome.
Coming from a single parent home, my special needs son has really grown and bonded with his male teacher. He even recently memorized all fifty states and capitals! I am really pleased with all the support and social skills my son has learned these last three years. His transition to junior high will be a smooth one. Thank You!
My son attends Washington elementary schhol and recieves excellent teaching and tech expierence from his teacher Mr.Dan Garry. This is an awesome school and a great place to volunteer your time.
My daughter is receiving excellent instruction at Washington Elementary.

Remember To Vote For The Samsung Unsung Hero Of The GamePosted by on November 23, 2009 – 6:37 am
Remember to visit the vikings.com home page and vote for the Samsung Unsung Hero of the Game. This is a new bit on the website and it's one that fans largely control. The winner of the poll, which closes on Wednesday, will be interviewed and the video will be posted on vikings.com.
Last week the Samsung Unsung Hero of the Game was TE Jeff Dugan. Click here to see his interview.
This week's choices for the Samsung Unsung Hero of the Game are CB Asher Allen, LB Heath Farwell, T Phil Loadholt and S Jamarca Sanford.
Allen recorded his 1st career INT in yesterday's win and also had a tackle. Farwell had 2 special teams tackles and recovered a fumble on a Seattle kick return. Loadholt was part of an offensive line that paved the way for the Vikings to gain 160 rushing yards and pickup 271 total passing yards. And Sanford recorded 1 special teams tackle and forced the fumble that Farwell recovered.

Vikings Community TuesdayPosted by on October 20, 2009 – 9:13 am
A few Vikings players, along with Viktor the Vikings, will spend their day off today by helping the Vikings organization and the Midwest Dairy Council kickoff the 2009-10 season of their school program "Eat Right, Get Movin' With Viktor."
The event will take place today from 1:00 to 1:45 p.m. in Lakeville
P Chris Kluwe, S Tyrell Johnson and T Phil Loadholt, along with Viktor, will be present at the program and will lead students in several football-related exercises.
The "Eat Right, Get Movin' With Viktor" program is an interactive assembly that helps teach children about the importance of eating healthy and staying physically active every single day. While stressing these 2 points, the program draws on messages from the NFL and National Dairy Council's Fuel Up to Play 60 initiative.
"The entire Minnesota Vikings organization is thrilled to continually partner with the Midwest Dairy Council to teach children the importance of eating healthy and staying physically active," said Steve LaCroix, VP of Sales and Marketing/Chief Marketing Officer for the Minnesota Vikings. "Viktor the Viking mascot, radio broadcaster Paul Allen, Vikings cheerleaders, and players like Chad Greenway have all played an active role in the Eat Right, Get Movin' with Viktor school assembly program, and our entire team will continue to promote health and nutrition throughout Minnesota schools."
The Eat Right, Get Movin' With Viktor program has already reached more than 3,000 students and will make it to more than 80 Minnesota schools in the coming months.
"While helping kids across the State of Minnesota, this program will fulfill the local Wellness Policy that was mandated for all school districts in the 2004 Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act, Eat Right, Get Movin' With Viktor is geared to help schools address these policies and the issue of children's health and nutrition," said Mike Kruger, CEO/Executive Vice President, Midwest Dairy Association and Council.
Midwest Dairy Council is the nutrition education division of Midwest Dairy Association. The Council's mission is to promote a healthy diet through nutrition education and the use of dairy products to consumers, health professionals and teachers. Midwest Dairy Council is funded by check-off dollars from dairy producers in our local region. For more information, visit www.midwestdairy.com.

Hicks' Position Flexibility Helped Vikings On SundayPosted by on October 13, 2009 – 9:10 am
Rookie RT Phil Loadholt missed Sunday's game against the Rams because of an ankle injury but he told the Star Tribune that he's confident he'll be able to give the ankle a go during practice on Wednesday.
Starting in Loadholt's place on Sunday was veteran swingman Artis Hicks. Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress said Hicks did a "nice job," especially for not having practiced in the RT spot for much of the week.
"With only having Friday as a full practice at the right tackle position," Childress said, "I thought he did a nice job for being on that side. He is a natural left sided guy, left handed guy. I thought he did a nice job for lining up there."
Childress dealt for Hicks after he took the job in Minnesota because the 2 were familiar with each from their time in Philadelphia together and because of Hicks' tremendous position flexibility. Hicks can play 4 positions along the line.
"About the only thing he is not studying is the center position because Ryan Cook is a guy that we would typically have up and slide into that spot (center)," Childress explained. "Artis has got to have a feel for a right-hand and left-hand. He's got to know the personnel along the front, right-handed and left-handed. He has to know how we are blocking plays right-handed and left-handed."

Avoiding The "Trap" GamePosted by on October 10, 2009 – 11:56 am
A team is often described as entering a "trap" game when they face an underdog opponent immediately after a big win and just before a big game. Coming off a win over division rival Green Bay last Monday night and with games against AFC North opponents Baltimore and Pittsburgh in the immediate future, this weekend's game against the 0-4 St. Louis Rams fits the "trap game" description.
But from what I've seen and heard around Winter Park this week, the Vikings will not be caught in the trap. Whether that means they'll win remains to be seen, but a poor performance or loss on the road in St. Louis this week will not be the product of the Vikings overlooking their opponent.
The Vikings have several reasons, in fact, to not only avoid overlooking their opponent, but to be concerned about tricky subplots in this matchup. Here are a few…
– The Rams coaching staff will know how to prepare the team to face the Vikings. St. Louis Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo is good friends with both Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress and assistant head coach/defensive coordinator. Spagnuolo coached with both Childress and Frazier in Philadelphia (at different times). Additionally, 2 of Spagnuolo's assistants in St. Louis were members of Childress' original staff in Minnesota. LBs coach Paul Ferraro was the Vikings special teams coordinator from 2006-2008 and DL coach Brendan Daly was the assistant DL coach in Minnesota during that same time period.
– The Rams are averaging just 6.0 points per game, but don't think that Frazier is taking this offensive unit lightly. He explained during his press conference on Thursday that the Rams have moved the ball well against both the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers, but that self-induced mistakes (turnovers and penalties) have neutralized offensive momentum. Frazier went on to explain that the mistakes St. Louis has made are correctable, and that if those corrections are made, the Rams are capable of playing a quality and beating anyone.
– Rams RB Steven Jackson ran up and down the field against this Vikings defense back in Week 17 of the 2006 season. He carried the ball 25 times for 142 yards and 3 TDs, and also added a TD reception. The Vikings will be focused on stopping Jackson, but the Rams won't be afraid to challenge the Vikings defense with their top offensive threat.
– The Vikings had a pair of offensive linemen on the injury report this week in All-Pro G Steve Hutchinson and RT Phil Loadholt. Hutchinson will likely play, but back injuries are funny things and can flare up in an instant. Loadholt's status is a bit more uncertain, but he was held out of practice on Friday, which isn't a good sign.
– This game is on the road, and in 2 road games this season the Vikings have gotten off to slow starts.

Edwards, Hutchinson PracticePosted by on October 8, 2009 – 3:29 pm
After sitting out of practice yesterday, Vikings DE Ray Edwards (hamstring) and All-Pro G Steve Hutchinson (back) both practiced on a limited basis today. This is good news for the Vikings considering both players are starters and also considering 5 other players appear on Thursday's injury report, including RT Phil Loadholt (ankle).
During his weekly press conference today, Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said that all players go through aches and pains at this point in the season but that Hutchinson might be feeling it a little more than most at this point.
"Obviously we appreciate it; we're never going to put anybody out there who is injured, but they're going to have to play through some aches and pains," Bevell said. "He's doing that; he's fighting through it. He's a tough guy, he competes hard and he's going to go as much as he can go. A lot of the guys are doing the same thing."
Loadholt was not on yesterday's report but appeared on it today and was noted as a limited participant. Also limited today were QB Brett Favre (foot/ankle/knee), LB Erin Henderson (calf) and CB Cedric Griffin (hand). WR Darius Reynaud (hamstring) did not participate in practice today.
There were a few changes to St. Louis' injury report as well. On the negative side, WR Ruvell Martin (hamstring) was added to the report as a limited participant in practice. WR Keenan Burton (hamstring) and S Anthony Smith (achilles) went from limited to did not participate.
On the positive side, CB Ron Bartell (thigh) and S Craig Dahl (concussion) went from limited to full participants.
WR Donnie Avery (hamstring), QB Marc Bulger (right shoulder) and RT Jason Smith (ankle) remained limited participants.

Loadholt Receives Positive Reviews From BevellPosted by on September 17, 2009 – 4:08 pm
Much attention was paid to Vikings 1st round pick Percy Harvin as he made his regular season NFL debut in Cleveland last weekend. Harvin had a profound impact on the game, hauling in a 6-yard TD reception and accumulating 157 all-purpose yards on 8 touches.
But there was another 1st day pick who had an impact on the game as well. Phil Loadholt, taken in the 2nd round last April, played in his 1st NFL regular season game and got the start at RT. Without sitting down next to a coach or scout in the film room, it appears Loadholt performed well, considering Adrian Peterson rushed for 180 yards and 3 scores and the Vikings offense scored 30 total points.
Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell indicated on Thursday while meeting with reporters that Loadholt indeed had a good first outing.
"He's a rookie, under those circumstances – starting a game on the road, his first NFL start – I think he did a nice job," Bevell said. "He competed in there; he's a physical guy, he's a giant man."
Loadholt's size, as Bevell referenced, gives him the potential to be a truly dominant lineman in the NFL. And the good news for the Vikings, according to Bevell, is that Loadholt doesn't seem to be the type of player who will rely simply on his size to do the work. He's willing to put in the extra effort on a play-to-play basis.
"What I really like about him is he finishes plays," Bevell explained. "You watch some of those tapes [and] you can see him downfield trying to get that extra block. That's what I like about him."

Final Notes on Vikings VictoryPosted by on September 15, 2009 – 8:49 am
Before we move on to Week 2 and the Vikings-Lions matchup, here are a few final notes on the Vikings 34-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday…
– The Vikings defense held Cleveland's top 2 WRs – Braylon Edwards and Josh Cribbs – to a combined 3 receptions for 22 yards. A matchup with Detroit's Calvin Johnson is on the horizon, so it was good to see the Vikings secondary playing well and the front 7 putting pressure on the QB.
– Adrian Peterson's sensational 64-yard TD run put an exclamation point on Sunday's victory. According to this article, Peterson rated his effort on that individual play as his best ever.
– The Vikings had 2 players along the offensive line make their first NFL regular season starts – RT Phil Loadholt and C John Sullivan – and Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress said they both played "particularly well." Going up against 3-time Pro Bowler DT Shaun Rogers made Sullivan's debut even more important for the Vikings on Sunday. Childress said he was pleased with the communication the young linemen had with coaches in between offensive series.
"I thought both of those young offensive linemen, they can come and tell you what they saw and then when you look at the pictures and you see the tape, it is what they saw," Childress explained. "So there was great clarity (and) there was great communication in the offensive line."
– Peterson stole the show with his 180-yard, 3-TD effort, but rookie WR Percy Harvin had a terrific debut, even catching a 6-yard TD pass from Brett Favre that essentially sealed the Vikings victory. All told when the game was over, Harvin's impact was distinct – he had 8 touches for 157 yards and 1 TD.
"Well you know he had the one drop on the bubble (screen) which you would love to have back because he could have gotten in some clear air there," Childress said. "But I think for what we asked him to do he handled it very well. Handled the return chores and was productive with it. Was in the right spot most of the time in the throw game, did have that one drop. He blocked extremely well down the field."

Loadholt Signs and Moving DayPosted by on July 29, 2009 – 12:38 pm
Good news out of Winter Park today – Vikings 2nd round draft pick OT Phil Loadholt has signed his rookie contract and will report to training camp on time. The only draft choice who remains unsigned is WR Percy Harvin, and I don't expect that he'll miss any time during training camp because of his contract. I'm sure his agent and Vikings VP of Football Operations Rob Brzezinski are working hard to hammer out an agreement.
I am just about to pack up and head down to Mankato for a couple of weeks. I've been anxious to get to camp during this offseason and I'm even more excited for the season to finally roll around. The time has come to finish preparations for the 2009 season and set out to defend last year's division championship.
While in Mankato for camp, I will have several entries on the blog per day, especially once practices begin on Friday. In addition to blog entries, we'll also have headline stories, coverage of press conferences, exclusive video content from practices, and much more.
Also, don't forget to submit your questions to me at firstname.lastname@example.com for our Monday Morning Mailbag feature. We'll be bringing the mailbag with us to camp.

Analyzing Position Battles – Right TacklePosted by on July 14, 2009 – 12:45 pm
It might be a slow time on the NFL calendar, but with training camp just over 2 weeks away we thought it'd be an appropriate time to identify and break down some position battles that will be decided this August in Mankato and in preseason games.
Today we'll take a look at RT, where incumbent starter Ryan Cook will be challenged by 2009 2nd round draft choice Phil Loadholt.
Ryan Cook, who was also a 2nd round draft choice (2006), has been a serviceable player for the Vikings at RT the last couple of years. He's started 30 of 32 games since 2007, but he just hasn't established a consistent standard of play. He was even benched briefly last year after ineffective play and a penchant for drawing yellow flags.
Loadholt looked solid during minicamps and OTAs this spring and summer. At 6-8, 343 pounds, he has the size and strength to be a mauling run blocker, which is what's typically asked of NFL RTs. But he also has a large wingspan and good pass protecting skills, which he honed while playing LT for the Oklahoma Sooners.
There are a couple of other angles to watch in this competition. As is the case in every training camp battle for every team, injuries could be a factor. If either player goes down to injury, or if another player along the line goes down to injury, this competition could be affected. One of Cook's best qualities is that he has position flexibility, which means he can play multiple positions and thus is a valuable commodity to have in a league where half the battle is staying healthy.
The other issue is going to be Loadholt's ability to A) adjust to playing on the right side (which I don't see as a problem) and B) prove that he can pass protect at the NFL level. Admittedly, I am not the best at watching a lineman's feet and making a determination as to whether those are "good feet" or "quick feet" or "slow feet." The good news is we have coaches on the staff who are good at making that determination. So, if Loadholt is deemed to have either "good feet" or "quick feet," then his chances of winning this position battle increase.
I don't consider this position battle over before it starts. Cook has been here before and he knows the offense. Loadholt is playing on the right side and is still in the process of proving himself. But at this point, I give the edge to Loadholt.
Prediction: Watch for Loadholt to run with the 1st team early in camp, and perhaps not ever relinquish those duties.

Vikings in the CommunityPosted by on June 22, 2009 – 9:30 am
Even though OTAs have concluded and Sunday was Father's Day, a couple of Vikings stayed busy this weekend by helping out the local community.
Rookie OT Phil Loadholt joined a large group of local boy scouts in the Winter Park field house on Friday to reward them for popcorn sales. The scouts were able to take part in football drills, with Loadholt and fellow rookie Ian Johnson guiding them.
Then on Sunday, Chad Greenway and his wife Jenni hosted their annual fun run/walk at Lake Nokomis. Teammates, Vikings Cheerleaders, Viktor the Viking and members of the Vikings Women's Organization helped put on the 3rd annual Greenway's Gridiron Gallop 5K fun run/walk.

No, but the FCR's are gonnna come off so I can make one. I spent the entire day trying to get the accelerator pump in the second carb working and it never did so the carbs are going back to someone - either KTM Twins or Sudco.
Well, my entire day wasn't wasted. I'll update later.

So getting the bike running for that video was exciting but premature. It's one thing to get the beast to start it's another to get it to work correctly. One accelerator pump wasn't pumping and that's a problem as the pumper is integral to the carb and it's also your cold start or choke on a carb that doesn't have a choke: you twist the throttle a few times to let the pumps flood the cold engine with raw gas and you can start the bike. Also, the point of the FCR's is that the pump gives it gas when you whack the throttle open. One isn't cutting it.
So all day Sunday I wasted trying to figure out why. I'm a smart guy, I can solve this... Nope. I took it apart, blew out the passages, checked the diaphragm for tears, checked the physical function and found nothing. I filled the flood bowl with alcohol and tested the pump and it sputtered. I took the good carb apart and checked it and it shot a good controlled stream of alcohol through the orifice. I examined the parts against each other and found that the bad carbs float bowl had a very small casting imperfection on the mating surface and on my surface plate it rocked whereas the good carbs float bowl sat flat. See the gaps of light here?
Okay, I found it! I took out some 400 grit wet/dry and proceeded to lap the bottom of the float bowl with some Dicom (blue dye) to check it.
So you can see there was a very definite high spot. Once I got it nice and flat I put them both back together and...
...they both didn't work. Son of a bitch! Oh, forgot something.
Hooked up the tank and ran the fuel pump and the good one worked and the bad one didn't. I can only imagine that the one diaphragm has some tiny imperfection that I can't see. I was frustrated and fed up. Three wasted days on these carbs and they still don't work. My shop time is far and few between and wasting any of it is massively frustrating. I needed some progress of some sort to rescue my weekend...

'Sorry for your carb troubles, but I'm sure they'll be corrected soon.
I'm anxiously awaiting your TPS mount drawing, and if you were so inclined, I'd even buy a mount from you if you'd care to make another.

I didn't want to start on the exhaust because it's a rather involved project that I wasn't all that sure I wanted to tackle with limited time. Once the carbs became hopeless my hopes of getting the bike running this week or this month went out the window so what the hell - I'll make an exhaust. Since I still needed the old one in case I got the carbs sorted I decided I'd only work on the front header. I don't have real idea of how the exhaust will look/work but I have a few requirements: 1. It has to be better made than the stock one, check! 2. It has to be easier to get on and off. I'll solve this with springs instead of bolts. Check! 3. It should look a little different. 4. It should sound like bloodly living hell.
From the sound of the bike with the FCR's when it ran I think 4 will be no problem. The carbon Leo's I have will only help.
So, how do you make an exhaust? You start with pre bent tubing of the correct diameter (1.75") in different radiuses. Radii? Holy cow, it is radii - who knew! I order from Burns Stainless but there are a few places. No one bends their own tube - too hard - so you buy them in different radii and then cut and twist and shape. Here's my box of tube that will become my exhaust.
In my case there aren't a lot of places the exhaust can go - the 950 is a tight package with very constrained packaging. I considered running it low but I never liked the look and you run into center stand problems. I'm planning following the stock path up to the collector and then I'll change it.
So, I pull the front header and, starting at the front, compare the bend to my collection of radii, match it and then cut.
I use a red sharpie and by eye I mark where I think the cut should be. Little note about my wooden block - 1.75" hole saw and then cut it in two and it holds the tube in the vise perfectly for cutting.
Then out comes one of my new favorite tools - the Dewalt portable band saw. This thing is the shit and makes quick accurate work of slicing the tubing.
I use these little clamps from Ice Engine Works to hold the tube - first time using them and I'm undecided if I like them yet. Anyway, you cut the tube, twist the bend and then, when you have it in the angle, orientation and direction you want make a couple of witness marks to mark position.
I was using the clamps to hold a few pieces of tube and they were slipping and so I figured it was time to start tacking. Tack welding is making a very tiny weld of the joint to simply hold the tubes in position.
The process continues; look, measure, estimate, cut, align, hold, tack, repeat. After each tack you hold the part up and check the fit. If it doesn't look right or doesn't fit right you just break the tack and redo it. It could be described as tedious but as I kid I loved Legos and blocks and as an artist I have good spacial sense and I enjoy the process. Perhaps more than any other thing I love making exhausts - it's relaxing and methodical and rewarding.
The front header went surprisingly fast so I decided to tackle the rear header. Again, remove and compare.
The rear is incredibly tight and it's a royal bitch to remove. It's like those bar games where you have to take the ring off the little twisted steel bar. I didn't want mine like that so I went with a donut so it would be tighter. Donuts are made differently but function the same.
Some more cutting, tacking and fitting and we have this.
At this point I'd worked way faster than I expected and I was suddenly at the join which I'd not considered fully so it seemed like a good place to stop for the night. I was also very tired. I want to make the join something a little special so I need to think about it. Stock is just a 1/2" tube joining the two headers and that style is typically used for sound more than performance. I'd like to do an X style cross join and I need to think about it more. It will be difficult to make, perhaps harder than my skills allow, but it would be cool. Also, it's time to consider asethetics. When the tubes join they should have similar curves and this is where you really need to take your time. I also need to order springs and the clamp mounts for the carbon pipes. I'll probably also need more tube if I'm to make my own X cross over. Here's my inspiration:
That is a Ti pipe and the fabrication is off the chart. That crossover alone is a work of art and wonder but I'm going to try it. What the hell right?
And as a reminder to myself here are the pipes for this bike. Now I'll have that number for calling Leo.
And here are the two together.
Not sure when I'll get more shop time but I'll make calls today and start getting the parts I need and to figure out the carbs. So the carbs were a bust but the exhaust is going better than expected.

Gregor, I've read this thread from start to finish today....what an incredibly talented and interesting guy you are...
Here are a couple of examples of the x-over design.
Both from Tigcraft Japan (sadly they don't make for a KTM) and they're from an Aprilia RSV1000.
PS - what make are the fork leg protectors you have fitted - they look like they're a straight bolt on replacement?

The fork shrouds are I think KTM 85 parts if I recall correctly - its been 8 years ago that they were put on. One bolt won't line up but the front two will.

slow progress
On Monday I spoke to Sudco who's first question was, "Did you buy them from us?" and when I said, no, but I'd just like some advice I got the brush off and was told to contact KTM Twins who could then contact Sudco. Sadly I see this as being a rather protracted process. When I explained all I'd gone through the tech did admit that there were problems sometimes in the finish machining and that the problem might be internal. Yesterday KTM Twins responded that they were very busy and they try to respond to me in the next day...
So, onward with the exhaust.
As I was cutting and tacking the pipes and got close to the join I realized that I couldn't hope to be accurate by just holding the pipes up and guessing at the placement. I needed to start to lock down the actual locations if I hope to make this right and that meant I needed to create my header flange. Time to call in some favors!
Meet Isaac of 4th State Metals. He was my neighbor and friend when I lived in Bed Stuy and he's an all around creative fabricator who builds giant art for artists, wild architechural elements and even instruments for Bjork! Isaac has a plasma cutter and for the cost of a few beers agreed to take my sketch and cut me some 304 stainless flanges that I could then machine.
I don't do CAD so I photoshopped a drawing and emailed it to Isaac and here he's transferring it to Solid Works for his plasma.
Then to the supply racks to look for some 1/4" stainless.
And finally onto the cutting table where the CNC plasma slices the stainless into raw shapes for the flanges. Plasma isn't water jet so the final finish is undersized for me to finish on the lathe and mill.
There are the raw parts - one extra to practice with. Back at the shop I use a die grinder to remove the slag from the parts. The plasma leaves a hard carbonized shell which will eat up lathe tooling so it has to be removed.
Next I got a hunk of stainless pipe and attempted to turn it down to a smooth finish. Thankfully this isn't an axel as I've never taken the time to really level and set up the lathe so the dimensions are off from one end to the other by a few thou.
Then I slice off 1.1" parts in the cold saw that I rescued and restored from some Harley buffoons last year. They said they never got it to work and when I got it home it was obvious why; they'd tried to plug a three phase motor into 220 single phase and melted the whole harness. It was a mess but for $300 bucks it was worth the hassle as these saws go for upwards or $2000. They spin slow and pump coolant onto the blade and make a really nice perfect cut fast.
Then the piece I cut off is turned in the lathe to accept the outside diameter of the header pipe with an interior shoulder to land on.
The flange is then turned open to be a snug fit for the sleeve and then is taken to the mill where the holes for the studs are located and drilled.
This is what I spent the day working towards - three complete flanges.
Sadly, I decided to just go ahead and try welding them. I'm still learning my heat control and while these are perfectly functional they show that I was dumping too much heat into them as I welded them. The upside is my last one was better than my first and this whole exhaust is simply a learning experience for me.
It does tell me that welding the thin wall tubing will be a real challenge but I'm looking forward to it. One of the great aspects of building an exhaust as opposed to a frame is that all the elements of building it - precision, fit, heat control and management - are all important but none of it is mission critical. I won't die if one of my welds crack. So, as I progress in my skills toward the ultimate goal of building my own motorcycle from scratch this is a good learning experience.
It's hard to say when I'll get back to work on the bike again. Hopefully when I'm back in two weeks I'll get some time and in the mean time I hope KTM Twins will be able to get my carb issue sorted out and back so I'm not waiting on that.

"This book cogently points out that, of course, all Americans have the right to speak their minds. But, all too often, the actions by the anti-American Left become destructive and anarchistic. You need not look any further than the explosive 1999 World Trade Organization "protests" in Seattle, campus book burnings, or even John Walker Lindh to see that factions on the Left are the worst perpetrators of anti-Americanism. And what may be most shocking is that many of these anti-Americans are at the same time teachers, professors, journalists, news reporters, and even judges and politicians." (From the publisher's description)
A response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, this work examines acts of terrorism in contemporary and historical contexts, analyzing the reasons for such violent hatred on the United States and the significant impact the attacks have had on the nation's self-image and sense of security. Each chapter focuses on a different perspective from which to view the terrorist attacks including-American foreign policy, Anti-Americanism, post-Cold War politics and Islamic fundamentalism.
