What are the requirements to become (and stay) certified as a MG?
The answer to this question varies by state and, perhaps, county. Following is information from the states of South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maine, Ontario, and West Virginia. The requirements in you state will be similar to those represented here.
We are reading, in this forum, that some states are requiring "background checks", "fingerprints", and what-have-you as part of the qualification process. You should read elsewhere in this forum for such information; it is not covered here, in this FAQ section.
PLEASE NOTE: This information is current as of the date of posting, and is not warranted or guaranteed to be valid beyond such date. For the most current information in your state of residence, you should contact the "county extension office". Space limitations preclude posting of the programs for all states.
This volunteer training program is administered by the Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service. Introduced in Charleston County in 1981, the Master Gardener program is now offered in 36 counties.
The Master Gardener program is divided into two parts: instruction and service. In the first part, participants receive at least 40 hours of intensive, practical horticultural training. A few of the following topics are covered in the program:
*Soils and Plant Nutrition *Basic Plant Pathology, Physiology, and Entomology *Vegetable Gardening *Tree and Small Fruit Culture *Culture of Woody Ornamentals *Lawn Management *Basic Landscape Design *Problem Solving
After successfully completing the classroom portion, which involves regular attendance and passing a final exam, participants receive the title of "Master Gardener." The Master Gardener graduates then donate at least 40 hours of service to complete the last part of the program.
What is Expected of Master Gardeners?
After completing the course, Master Gardeners are required to volunteer at least 40 hours of service in the Clemson Extension office or in the community. The volunteer activities are coordinated through the local county Extension office.
Master Gardeners share their knowledge and skills in a number of ways: answering horticulture calls at the Extension office; speaking to garden and civic clubs; working with youth or senior groups; and assisting communities with beautification projects.
Many Master Gardeners far exceed the expected 40 hours of service. Many continue in the program beyond the first year, motivated by their willingness to help others and the personal satisfaction derived from participating in this community service program.
Master Gardeners are volunteers who support Penn State Cooperative Extension's educational programs in consumer horticulture. They develop their horticultural expertise through participation in educational programs conducted by Penn State University faculty and cooperative extension staff. Faculty and extension staff also provide diagnostic support for horticultural issues and questions to those Master Gardener volunteers participating actively in the program. Extension publications, teaching materials, and/or other program support materials are provided as deemed appropriate by faculty and county extension staff responsible for leading and supervising the Master Gardener program. Information presented by Master Gardeners must be consistent with Penn State Cooperative Extension recommendations concerning various aspects of consumer horticulture.
1. Strong interest and knowledge in horticulture as evidenced by scoring a minimum of 80% on a final exam administered by Penn State Cooperative Extension.
2. Willingness and availability to undertake extensive training in consumer horticulture practices. Trainees may not miss more that one training session.
3. Dedication and willingness to provide a minimum of fifty (50) hours of volunteer service for Penn State Cooperative Extension. Master Gardeners have one (1) year from the end of training to complete the volunteer requirement.
4. Ability to communicate effectively and diplomatically with others either by telephone, personal contact, group contact, and/or in writing.
5. Willingness to support Penn State Cooperative Extension staff in providing extension audiences with up-to-date consumer horticulture information.
1. Attend required training sessions.
2. Perform the required number of volunteer hours for Penn State Cooperative Extension.
3. Maintain an activity log and submit it to the county extension office on a monthly and/or quarterly basis, as required by county operating procedures.
4. Attend meetings as scheduled to update information, discuss gardening problems and coordinate Master Gardener activities.
5. Participate in cooperative extension activities as needs arise.
6. Provide own transportation.
7. Maintain a flexible schedule which permits day and/or evening and/or weekend activities.
County Master Gardener Programs will offer core and elective training totaling a minimum of thirty (30) hours.
CORE CLASSES (required in all counties): 20 hours
Orientation to MG Program Plant Propagation Communication Skills Entomology Plant Science Plant Pathology Soil Science IPM & Pesticide Safety
SUGGESTED ELECTIVE CLASSES (varies by county): 10 hours minimum
Turfgrass Culture Indoor Plant Culture Herbaceous Ornamental Plant Culture Vegetable Culture Woody Ornamental Plant Culture Diagnosing Plant Problems Pruning Horticulture Tours/Workshops Tree & Small Fruit Culture Office Orientation
A Penn State Master Gardener must attend the prescribed hours of instruction, pass the final examination and fulfill the 50-hour volunteer commitment before becoming a certified Master Gardener. Upon completion he/she will be awarded a Penn State Master Gardener certificate. This certification is restrictive in nature in that it is valid only when the individual is participating in the Penn State Master Gardener Program and for one year only. Recertification will be issued each year only to those individuals who make a commitment for participation in the program for the coming year as outlined below. When individuals cease active participation, then their designation as Penn State Master Gardener becomes void. Those not continuing in the program should be aware that if they represent themselves as Master Gardeners, they are violating their original commitment to Penn State Cooperative Extension.
RECERTIFICATION: A Master Gardener may recertify for participation in the program for another year by:
1) committing to a minimum of twenty (20) hours of volunteer work to be completed each year, and 2) completing or having completed eight (8) additional hours of horticulture training each year.
Examples of additional training are : New Master Gardener training, Master Gardener Advanced Training, State/Regional/National MG conferences, University or Community College courses, Arboretum and Botanical Garden seminars, annual horticulture conferences, and Pennsylvania Federation of Garden Club courses. The training must be approved as acceptable by the county extension agent responsible for supervising the Master Gardener program.
An inactive Master Gardener is one who is unable to commit to an additional 20 hours service plus 8 hours training at present, but would like the opportunity to recertify themselves in the future. The following policies apply:
1) An inactive Master Gardener is one who is in good standing, having completed the original commitment of training, exam, and volunteer service.
2) The inactive Master Gardener must attend or have attended eight (8) hours of acceptable horticulture training for each year of inactive status. (See Recertification #2 for examples of training).
3) An inactive Master Gardener may recertify within three (3) years as long as the above criteria are met. Individuals on inactive status for more than three years are required to retake the New Master Gardener training.
Master Gardeners who are certified in another state may be admitted to a Penn State Master Gardener program by meeting the following criteria:
1) acquire or be provided with a current Penn State Master Gardener training manual.
2) acquire or be provided with a Penn State Master Gardener name badge.
3) score a minimum of 80% on a final exam administered by Penn State Cooperative Extension.
4) meet the Recertification requirements listed above.
To cover the cost of training manuals and supplies, a non-refundable standardized fee determined by the State Coordinator will be charged. Upon an individual's acceptance into the program, this fee will be paid at the county level by the county extension office or the Master Gardener volunteer as per county policy.
LIABILITY: Master Gardener Volunteers are insured under the P.W. Woods & Son, Inc. liability insurance program. Coverage applies only to individual volunteers while they are performing their volunteer activities for Penn State Cooperative Extension. The coverage does not extend to other organizations or groups that volunteers are working with. Volunteers may not sign contracts or leases assuming liability responsibility on behalf of other organizations or groups. All contracts or "facilities use" agreements that require volunteer signature must be reviewed by the Wood office prior to signing.
County offices are asked each year to identify the number of volunteers to be covered and the appropriate premium charge is applied. If volunteers are not reported, there is no liability coverage.
The title "Penn State Master Gardener" is to be used only and exclusively by individuals trained and certified to assist Penn State Cooperative Extension, and the title is valid only when the volunteer is participating in the Penn State Master Gardener Program. The title Master Gardener is to be used only when doing unpaid, volunteer work in a program activity approved by an extension agent.
Master Gardeners are not to advertise their name or their place of business nor be listed on the advertisements of business places as Penn State Master Gardeners. Because the Master Gardener Program is a Penn State Cooperative Extension public service program providing unbiased research-based information appearing as a commercial activity, having association with commercial products, or implying Penn State Cooperative Extension endorsement of any product or place of business is improper and grounds for dismissal from the program.
The training and experience gained by participating in the Penn State Master Gardener Program are valuable, and may rightfully be listed as qualifications when seeking employment. Once employed and while serving as a paid employee, or if self-employed, Master Gardeners should not display credentials or give the appearance of being a Master Gardener at the place of business, unless the place of business is specifically designated by an extension agent as a Master Gardener clinic location.
When Master Gardeners speak before groups on horticulture topics it is permissible for them to accept unsolicited reimbursements or gifts. It is inappropriate, however, to seek paid speaking engagements while participating in an authorized extension function and while using the Master Gardener title. In all cases the county extension office policy on speaking engagement fees should be honored. When a Master Gardener travels out of county for a speaking engagement, it is appropriate to request payment for travel expenses from the county cooperative extension office or other organization requesting the Master Gardener 's services.
When making recommendations which include the use of fertilizers and pesticides, Master Gardeners must follow current cooperative extension recommendations. Horticultural problems which are not specifically covered by extension recommendations should be referred to an extension agent. Questions concerning commercial production of crops and pest control on such crops should be referred to an extension agent.
Maine's Master Gardener Program provides participants with at least 40 hours of in-depth training in the art and science of horticulture. Trainees receive current, research based information from Extension educators and industry experts.
In return, trained Master Gardeners volunteer their time and expertise in many ways for community programs and activities.
As part of a nationwide Cooperative Extension effort, Master Gardeners are recognized as well-trained practitioners who serve and beautify their communities. They are linked to a professional network of support through county, state and national Cooperative Extension offices.
What Volunteer Projects Do Master Gardeners Do?
A major statewide effort of the Master Gardener Program is the Plant A Row for the Hungry program. This is a "people helping people" program to assist in feeding the homeless and hungry in your own community. Through various projects, gardeners will grow a little extra and donate the produce to local soup kitchens and food banks that serve the homeless and hungry.
Other projects Master Gardeners might do include:
- - teach school children about the environment and develop school gardening projects- - design and build barrier-free gardens for persons with disabilities
- - develop demonstration gardens to test different plant varieties
- - plan and conduct educational workshops
Who Can Become A Master Gardener?
Everyone who successfully completes the forty-plus hours of training, and volunteers forty hours towards community gardening programs and activities can become a Master Gardener. The participation fee is $60 which covers the cost of the two-volume reference manual and the training site expenses.
Master Gardeners are Lifelong Learners
Master Gardeners can help direct their own advanced training. Here are examples of how Maine Master Gardeners have helped each other learn more:
In several Maine counties, Master Gardeners have created demonstration gardens, which are excellent places to teach other gardeners at field days, workshops and tours. They also provide places where Master Gardeners can experiment with new techniques, grow unusual crops, design theme gardens and hone their gardening skills.
Master Gardeners in many Maine counties meet regularly to plan update activities such as guest lecturers, workshops, and tours of gardens or horticultural businesses.

The West Virginia Master Gardener Program started in 1993. Under the leadership of John Jett, WVU Extension Service horticulture specialist, Master Gardeners are now active in 35 of West Virginia's 55 counties. There are 1,048 active Master Gardeners in WV. These volunteers are trained in classes and activities provided by the West Virginia University Extension Service and Extension Agents in these counties.
Master Gardeners receive a minimum of 30 hours of instruction. Along with an orientation, volunteers are given core training in plant science, plant propagation, soil science, plant pathology, entomology, communication skills, and integrated pest management. These subjects give the Master Gardener trainee the basic horticultural knowledge necessary to assist extension staff effectively. Specific gardening topics like pruning techniques, composting, house plants, vegetable culture, herbs, tree and small fruit culture, lawns and landscape design allow the Master Gardener to specialize in an area of particular personal interest.
After successfully completing the Master Gardener training program, each volunteer receives a Master Gardener Intern certificate.To fulfill their volunteer commitment, West Virginia Master Gardener Interns:
-- answer gardening questions -- assist county extension office staff -- conduct garden tours -- conduct school gardening programs -- coordinate Master Gardener programs -- create and maintain community and school landscapes -- conduct plant clinics -- garden with the elderly and disabled -- make home gardening visits -- photograph Master Gardener activities -- plan and complete community beautification projects -- present lectures or demonstrations to groups interested in horticulture -- staff county and state exhibits -- work on special events
After an intern has satisfactorily completed the formal training and 30 hour of volunteer service, he or she then receives an official Master Gardener certificate and name badge.To maintain the title of Certified Master Gardener, a volunteer is required to attend a minimum of six hours of update (advanced) training per year and serve a minimum of six hours' volunteer time per year. The Master Gardener designation becomes void when an individual ceases active participation in an organized program. Many county programs have established local associations that provide leadership and sustain Master Gardener programs and activities.
The West Virginia Master Gardener Association (WVMGA) was incorporated in 2000 and the board of directors is comprised by representatives from many of the county programs.The state board meets quarterly to address statewide program issues and is responsible for organizing the annual conference.The location of the annual conference varies from year to year with an effort to accommodate Master Gardeners around the state.The conferences are attended by 150 to 200 Master Gardeners who can participate in several advance training workshops and learn about successful county projects.Awards are presented to individuals and groups from throughout the state for their Master Gardener activities and recognition is given to several county Master Gardeners and a State Master Gardener of the Year. Following the awards banquet, there are both a live and a silent auction of items donated by individual Master Gardeners and county groups.Proceeds from the auctions are deposited in an endowed account with the WVU Foundation. The West Virginia Master Gardeners and WVU Extension Service presented their first $1,000 scholarship to a WVU horticulture student in the spring of 2003.
In 2001, the West Virginia Master Gardeners received the Governor's Service Award and WVU Extension's Outstanding Partner Award. In 2002 the program trained approximately 450 clients and certified close to 250 Master Gardener volunteers. Master Gardeners across the state volunteered 20,000 hours to their communities and contacted 5,800 clients.
The West Virginia Master Gardener Association celebrated their tenth year at the annual conference at Holiday Inn in Oak Hill April 4-6, 2003 with 175 participants. John Jett, state Master Gardener coordinator and the conference planning committee organized the conference with interesting sessions on rock and water gardening, photography, horticulture therapy, entomology, container gardening, pruning. At the Saturday evening banquet, Outstanding Master Gardeners from 15 counties were recognized.Volunteer Service awards were presented to Master Gardeners from 5 counties and the Vegetable Variety Trial participants were recognized. The silent and live auctions raised over $2500 for the scholarship fund.The Sunday featured speaker was Anita Stone, a Master Gardener from Kentucky who delivered an entertaining and sometimes emotional message on reminiscence and horticulture therapy for the elderly.

I've been going through a nude phase and this fits perfectly! It's really not as BAM in your face as it appears. It's rather subtle and super glossy! Leave it to the Revlon Colorburst line to hit another one outta the park! This will be used quite a bit!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
THIS IS MY FAVORITE NUDE LIPGLOSS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. I bought this at ulta for 7.99
The only negative thing about this gloss is that it doesn't last long and I find myself applying it a lot.
HOWEVER, It is entirely the best and prettiest nude gloss EVER, looks amazing worn over lipglosses, or worn alone. It also doesn't have a scent, which I prefer.
Such a pretty color, its nude and super shiny. I bought this back in mid November and have used it everyday since this is one of my fav glosses, the only thing I don't like it the smell I can't really describe it its unpleasant but not so overbearing that you can't use the product.
UPDATE Fall 2012 - Please Revlon...BRING THIS BACK! It is the PERFECT nude lip gloss.
ORIGINAL POST: I love this lip gloss. It is a beautiful nude lip gloss, no glitter, soft and creamy. It is very reminiscent of MAC's Creme de Nude lipstick, but in a lip gloss form. Not concealer lips (not on my NW20 skin, rosey lips)...but soft, supple muted lips.
Really, really gorgeous bargain.

I really, really like this lipgloss. In the tube, it's a super pale warm beigh w/ a tint of pink. Lipglosses this color can be very tricky. They can either look like concealer on lips, or just clear lipgloss.
The pigmentation of lipgloss is perfect. It actually shows up as a very nude pink, without being too beigy or grayish.
The texture is thickish, almost creamy. It doesn't go on super shiny at first, but does become shinier once it melts into the lips. I detect a very, very faint vanilla scent if I hold the wand right up to my nose, although I wouldn't mind it if it actually smells like eggnog, LOL.
Since this is part of a LE holiday collection, definitely worth picking up if you see it in stores.

LOVE THIS COLOR. Perfect milky pinkish creamy nude. :) AND it's only about $7?!? What a steal! Hope it's a part of their permanent line. This is the color that Revlon's Colorburst Lip Gloss line has been missing all along!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is from the Spice it Up collection. It looks like a milky light beige in goes on sheer and glossy, almost clear with a touch of shimmer you hardly notice. I been wearing this alone as its so moisturizing and glossy. This is hands down the best DS nude gloss ever.

Lake Wedowee Travel Tips
Lake Wedowee Vacation Rentals on 271 Miles of Shoreline
Mid-way between Birmingham, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia off Interstate 20 is Lake Wedowee; it is close to State Highway 431 and Alabama Highway 48. It is actually the Harris Reservoir in Randolf County. The reservoir is 24 miles long and was completed in 1983 by R. L. Harris. Lake Wedowee condos are situated around the 271-mile shoreline among over 10,500 acres of forest.
Lake Wedowee Condos in a Peaceful Location to Enjoy Alabama's Beauty
Lake Wedowee lake houses are great choices for those who are seeking a peaceful vacation in an area perfect for hiking and fishing. The Tallapoosa and Little Tallapoosa Rivers are the main source of water for the lake where visitors can fish for largemouth bass, spotted bass, bluegill, shellcrackers (also known as redear sunfish) catfish and crappie. Activities on the lake include waterskiing, boating and swimming. The nearby river Tallapoosa is a great whitewater rafting area with small shoals ideal for beginners.
Close to Cheaha State Park
An enjoyable day trip from Lake Wedowee vacation rentals is Cheaha State Park. The park is surrounded by the Talladega National Park. The name originates from the local Creek Indians who called it "Chaha" which means high place. The park is thought to be the highest point in Alabama. The park includes several "hiking only" trails. Among these trails are the quarter-mile Bald Road Boardwalk, where hikers are rewarded with stunning views at the end of the trail and Pulpit Rock Trail. This is a moderate hike to Pulpit Rock itself where visitors can repel down the rock or just enjoy the scenery. The most difficult hike is the Rock Garden and Lake Trail. Here, there is a 1,000-foot elevation gain during the first half mile. Recreational activities at Lake Cheaha include swimming, taking out a paddle boat and fishing for bass and bluegill. By the lake is a fabulous adventure playground where children can run wild in a safe multi-station play area. Off roading enthusiasts will enjoy the Kentuck ORV trail, the 107-mile Pinhoti Trail, Odum Scout Trail and Chinnabee Silent Trail. At Chinnabee, stop and wonder at the stunning waterfalls along the route. For those who enjoy horseback riding, there are several trails where riders are welcome to explore. The park welcomes well behaved dogs.
Those with a GPS receiver may want to enjoy the geocashing available in Cheaha State Park to spend a few hours treasure hunting with this increasingly popular outdoor activity. Geocaching is a global game of treasure hunting using GPS to locate the treasure.
Also within an easy distance is the Talladega Superspeedway. For those who have always dreamt of becoming a racing driver, head to Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure and make that dream come true.
Lake Wedowee Lake Houses to Start and End Each Day in Relaxation
What better way to start each day of your vacation than sitting on your own deck, overlooking the lake? Or starting each day with a dip in the lake, from your own dock? What better way to end a day than to sit on your own deck and watch the sun go down as the children grab those last few minutes of play by the water? At Lake Wedowee lake houses, it is not just a vacation dream; it is the reality. These luxurious homes are packed with extras to make your vacation as comfortable as possible. Homes are available with indoor activities such as table tennis, big screen TVs with full entertainment systems, wifi internet access, and some even provide the boat to go with that dock!

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 "Listen in silence before me, you lands beyond the sea. Bring your strongest arguments. Come now and speak. The court is ready for your case." | 1 "Be silent before me, you islands! Let the nations renew their strength! Let them come forward and speak; let us meet together at the place of judgment. |
2 "Who has stirred up this king from the east, who meets victory at every step? Who, indeed, but the LORD? He gives him victory over many nations and permits him to trample their kings underfoot. He puts entire armies to the sword. He scatters them in the wind with his bow. | 2 "Who has stirred up one from the east, calling him in righteousness to his service ? He hands nations over to him and subdues kings before him. He turns them to dust with his sword, to windblown chaff with his bow. |
3 He chases them away and goes on safely, though he is walking over unfamiliar ground. | 3 He pursues them and moves on unscathed, by a path his feet have not traveled before. |
4 Who has done such mighty deeds, directing the affairs of the human race as each new generation marches by? It is I, the LORD, the First and the Last. I alone am he." | 4 Who has done this and carried it through, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD--with the first of them and with the last--I am he." |
5 The lands beyond the sea watch in fear. Remote lands tremble and mobilize for war. | 5 The islands have seen it and fear; the ends of the earth tremble. They approach and come forward; |
6 They encourage one another with the words, "Be strong!" | 6 each helps the other and says to his brother, "Be strong!" |
7 The craftsmen rush to make new idols. The carver hurries the goldsmith, and the molder helps at the anvil. "Good," they say. "It's coming along fine." Carefully they join the parts together, then fasten the thing in place so it won't fall over. | 7 The craftsman encourages the goldsmith, and he who smooths with the hammer spurs on him who strikes the anvil. He says of the welding, "It is good." He nails down the idol so it will not topple. |
8 "But as for you, Israel my servant, Jacob my chosen one, descended from my friend Abraham, | 8 "But you, O Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend, |
9 I have called you back from the ends of the earth so you can serve me. For I have chosen you and will not throw you away. | 9 I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, 'You are my servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. |
10 Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand." | 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. |
11 "See, all your angry enemies lie there, confused and ashamed. Anyone who opposes you will die. | 11 "All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. |
12 You will look for them in vain. They will all be gone! | 12 Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. |
13 I am holding you by your right hand -- I, the LORD your God. And I say to you, 'Do not be afraid. I am here to help you. | 13 For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. |
14 Despised though you are, O Israel, don't be afraid, for I will help you. I am the LORD, your Redeemer. I am the Holy One of Israel.' | 14 Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I myself will help you," declares the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. |
15 You will be a new threshing instrument with many sharp teeth. You will tear all your enemies apart, making chaff of mountains. | 15 "See, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff. |
16 You will toss them in the air, and the wind will blow them all away; a whirlwind will scatter them. And the joy of the LORD will fill you to overflowing. You will glory in the Holy One of Israel." | 16 You will winnow them, the wind will pick them up, and a gale will blow them away. But you will rejoice in the LORD and glory in the Holy One of Israel. |
17 "When the poor and needy search for water and there is none, and their tongues are parched from thirst, then I, the LORD, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will never forsake them. | 17 "The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. |
18 I will open up rivers for them on high plateaus. I will give them fountains of water in the valleys. In the deserts they will find pools of water. Rivers fed by springs will flow across the dry, parched ground. | 18 I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs. |
19 I will plant trees -- cedar, acacia, myrtle, olive, cypress, fir, and pine -- on barren land. | 19 I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive. I will set pines in the wasteland, the fir and the cypress together, |
20 Everyone will see this miracle and understand that it is the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, who did it." | 20 so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the LORD has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created it. |
21 "Can your idols make such claims as these? Let them come and show what they can do!" says the LORD, the King of Israel. | 21 "Present your case," says the LORD. "Set forth your arguments," says Jacob's King. |
22 "Let them try to tell us what happened long ago or what the future holds. | 22 "Bring in [ your idols] to tell us what is going to happen. Tell us what the former things were, so that we may consider them and know their final outcome. Or declare to us the things to come, |
23 Yes, that's it! If you are gods, tell what will occur in the days ahead. Or perform a mighty miracle that will fill us with amazement and fear. Do something, whether good or bad! | 23 tell us what the future holds, so we may know that you are gods. Do something, whether good or bad, so that we will be dismayed and filled with fear. |
24 But no! You are less than nothing and can do nothing at all. Anyone who chooses you becomes filthy, just like you!" | 24 But you are less than nothing and your works are utterly worthless; he who chooses you is detestable. |
25 "But I have stirred up a leader from the north and east. He will come against the nations and call on my name, and I will give him victory over kings and princes. He will trample them as a potter treads on clay." | 25 "I have stirred up one from the north, and he comes-- one from the rising sun who calls on my name. He treads on rulers as if they were mortar, as if he were a potter treading the clay. |
26 "Who but I have told you this would happen? Who else predicted this, making you admit that he was right? No one else said a word! | 26 Who told of this from the beginning, so we could know, or beforehand, so we could say, 'He was right'? No one told of this, no one foretold it, no one heard any words from you. |
27 I was the first to tell Jerusalem, 'Look! Help is on the way!' | 27 I was the first to tell Zion, 'Look, here they are!' I gave to Jerusalem a messenger of good tidings. |
28 Not one of your idols told you this. Not one gave any answer when I asked. | 28 I look but there is no one-- no one among them to give counsel, no one to give answer when I ask them. |
29 See, they are all foolish, worthless things. Your idols are all as empty as the wind." | 29 See, they are all false! Their deeds amount to nothing; their images are but wind and confusion. |

The Grandparent Detox
Grandparent Detox:Dealing With Kids After a Sleepover At Grandparents House
I love that my girls get to see my parents quite often. And I love it even more that my parents are always up for hosting the gals for a few nights. I'm telling ya, it's like a win-win. The girls get great bonding time with their grandparents and the hubby and I get to reconnect.
But what I can't stand is the 48-hour "grandparent detox" period I have to endure when my daughters return from visiting with Lolo and Nana.
Take a look.
What happens when your kids come back from visiting the Abuelos?

Player of the Week: Shirime
This week I had a nice chat with Shirime!
Klouwe: Hello Shirime, you are n°1 player in the world! Congratulations! What's your secret to be #1 rank?
Shirime (.united.): Actually, there isn't much of a secret. We're just maintaining activity as well as efficieny in farming.
Shirime (Dentarthurdent): I do performance-enhancing drugs. Can't tell you which though. I hope it's legal . . . But yeah, we are a 24/7 account, and apparently we are just a bit smarter or luckier than the others
Klouwe: You are #3 ODA-player in this world. Is ODA a good marker for decent players this early in the game? Cause having a high ODA also means that you probably also lost many troops which might be inefficient…
Shirime (Dentarthurdent): yeah, we lost a lot of troops, but not enough to keep us from having a full farm when the troops return… lesser losses would mean fewer coins, but so far that is not really an issue for us. More coins, of course, that is. To answer the question, is it a good marker? no, it's probably not. but it's not a bad sign either.
Klouwe: The previous interview was with Four Noble Truths also a member of Femme. A week ago Femme was only ranked #171 of the world, now Femme raised to #3 very quickly. So things are going very well in Femme?
Shirime (.united.): Pretty good, we gave them secrets of pointwhoring
Klouwe: Has the uprising power of Femme already caused enemies or alliances? Or does Femme play without diplomacy?
Shirime (Dentarthurdent): I don't know (think)
Shirime (.united.): Diplomacy, whats that?
Klouwe: it's the thing that gives you authomatically pretty colors on your map
Shirime (.united.): oh those light blue colors, we have alot of them
Shirime (Dentarthurdent): our map is mostly one colour, it's a tribe of 50-70 pointers who surround us …
Klouwe: yeah, i also got problems with that grey tribe Barb :S they totally surround me …
Shirime (.united.): be carefull , they attack!
Klouwe: What's the most funny thing that happened in this world yet? (can be a mail, a post on the forum, a report)
Shirime (Dentarthurdent): it happened today. I was trying to kill off some lc from a defensive village, so I just sent them at the nearest player who was still active. It turned out to clear him:
Quantity: 0 0 0 0 1 28 0 0 0 0 0 0
Losses: 0 0 0 0 0 21 0 0 0 0 0 0
Quantity: 46 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Losses: 46 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Shirime (Dentarthurdent): big resource pits, no stables, no nothing…
Shirime (.united.): we have our love letter collection as well!
Klouwe: explain…
Shirime (.united.): people flirting with us (wasntme)
Shirime (Dentarthurdent): it's a guy, who loves us, especially me, Michelle Obama. .united. posted some on the forums, we had to block him in the end though. there was too many
Klouwe: so there is a guy in Femme? What a lucky fellow! I thought Femme contained only female players?
Shirime (.united.): yeah, are we guys? O.o We're Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton
Klouwe: which tribe (not including Femme) is according to you, the best tribe in this world?
Shirime (.united.): …etc
Klouwe: that's my tribe! why?
Shirime (Dentarthurdent):…etc(rofl) aren't you sweet
Klouwe: (blush) i'm adorabl! I'm better than justin bieber!
Shirime (Dentarthurdent): uhm, I didn't look much at the tribes yet. but I will soon. I've noticed …etc before, because they are close to us
Klouwe: Suppose you could have a swimming pool at your place containing 1 specific "fluid". What would you choose?
Shirime (Dentarthurdent): that's a hard one… Are you allowed to sell it?
Klouwe: nope, you can only swim in it and drink from it
Shirime (.united.): drink from what we're swimming in ???
Klouwe: yep, and it refills authomatically
Shirime (Dentarthurdent): I'd probably choose an lsd-solution in water. Would last a life-time. Just would need to have it locked tightly when my sister's kids were here . . .
Shirime (.united.): Before the end, I'd like to show our love for the almighty Hasoona
Shirime (Dentarthurdent): we miss you!
Klouwe: thank you very much for this interview
Shirime (.united.): you're welcome
Klouwe: I was awesome and so were you!
Shirime (Dentarthurdent): thank you
Klouwe: good luck in this world!

I noticed my hair line was starting to thin this past winter. I'm only 27, but I have a thyroid condition and tend to lose my hair quite a bit. My derm recommended 5000 mg's of Biotin and Rogaine foam for men, not women. It's takes dedicated use, but after using the three month pack I can see a difference. My hairline is thicker and I can't see my scalp as much and I know it works because I see little baby hairs sprouting where they weren't before. I also love the foam because it dries so fast and there's no drip unlike the liquid. It can be pricey, so I always use my 25% CVS coupons or 20% Ulta coupons. It takes patience but use the three pack dedicatedly and see what you get.

I guess after 5-6 months of using this I can write a review. I started out with the 5% Men's liquid, then moved onto the foam. I much prefer the foam in terms of ease of applying, and cosmeticability. The foam doesn't make my thinning hair look much worse like the liquid does which is greasy, and the foam has some thickening effect.
BUT it hasn't worked for me very sadly. I am continuing to thin at a fast rate (37yo, this all started for me just over a year ago and I have lost so much hair and volume), the shedding is still much more than normal and I am only getting minimal regrowth at my temples. I can't say that the Rogaine has had any effect at all on shedding for me, and only minimal effect with regrowing. Obviously my hair can't keep up with losing so much continually.
I am not sure when to stop using this and give up. I am also taking finasteride (Propecia). Think I will carry on for a few more months (if I still have any hair left!). How I wish it could have helped as there is nothing else out there.

I purchased the 2% minoxidil equate brand for women & have gone thru my 3 month supply. I have alopecia & spotty bald spots along with a thinning crown. My first week of using this product I thought I was allergic to it. I was actually using it incorrectly, using 2 dropper fulls 2xs a day instead of 1 twice a day. Overuse causes scalp sensitivity. Definately repurchasing it, my most recent alopecia spot has regrowth & I've notice my part having regrowth.

I use Walmart's Equate Hair Regrowth Treatment liquid, which is their Rogaine equivalent. The big drug store chains also sell their generics. After years of thin hair, it has regrown and I am very happy. My stylist can see the difference, too.
As the label says, allow 3 months for results. That was accurate. After 6 months, my hair looks wonderful. I started on 2%, but my dermatologist said to switch to 5% because I am post-menopausal. Consult your doctor before using the 5% if you are menstruating.
I like the liquid formulation with the dropper. The trick is to lift my hair and apply it just to the scalp and roots, then wait a few seconds until it dries. It is alcohol-based so it dries fast. You need to wait four hours before shampooing, to give it a chance to work.

I started using Rogaine Foam for Men, 5% minoxidil after the 2% formula for women didn't work, and the liquid form made my scalp itch. This works very well for me. I had thinning on the top of my head at the crown. I'm only 43, so it was quite distressing. In a matter of months, my hair started to fill in and thicken up. I now almost can't notice any thinning. I tried all the 'natural' treatments (including pre-natal and "hair growth" vitamins), and they were all useless. None of them helped to start the regrowth process. Only Rogaine worked for me. The label says women should not use the 5%--but that warning is only based on the very slight risk that the 5% concentration could (but quite likely won't) increase UNWANTED hair growth on the face. I have been using it for 4 months now, and noticed no unwanted hair growth. Many hair growth forums for women recommend this product, too. BTW, the foam is NOT available in generic, so this is a bit on the spendy side. Also, the instructions say that once you stop using it, your hair thinning problems will return. I would recommend this. edit: one thing i would like to add--because maybe it's not obvious-- this WILL help stop your hair from falling out. i have so many fewer strands in my brush and all over my bathroom. it's quite remarkable. UPDATE: good news! i just saw a generic version of this at walmart. their brand "equate" lists the same ingredients as rogaine foam. price is about 1/3rd less expensive. i plan to start using this version when i run out of my name brand stuff.

One of the Library's most important digital collections is the Virginia Gazette, published weekly in Williamsburg, 1736-1780; the news covered all Virginia and included some information for other colonies, Scotland, England etc. Not all the issues survived, and some have surfaced since they were first reproduced on microfilm in the mid-twentieth century that is the basis for the digital version.
The earliest Virginia Gazette was printed successively by William Parks, William Hunter, Joseph Royle, Alexander Purdie, Purdie & John Dixon, Dixon & William Hunter Jr., and Dixon & Thomas Nicolson, from August 6(?), 1736, through April 8, 1780, when the paper was moved to Richmond. This is referred to below as "Virginia Gazette 1." On May 16, 1766, William Rind established a competing paper under the same title which was printed successively by Rind, Clementina Rind (his widow), and John Pinkney, until February 3, 1778 (referred to as "Virginia Gazette 2.") A third Virginia Gazette was inaugurated by Alexander Purdie on February 3, 1775. After Purdie's death, the paper was printed by John Clarkson & Augustine Davis until December 9, 1780, the last issue located.

1 But Rachel had not borne Jacob any children, and so she became jealous of her sister and said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I will die." | 1 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I'll die!" |
2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, "I can't take the place of God. He is the one who keeps you from having children." | 2 Jacob became angry with her and said, "Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?" |
3 She said, "Here is my slave Bilhah; sleep with her, so that she can have a child for me. In this way I can become a mother through her." | 3 Then she said, "Here is Bilhah, my maidservant. Sleep with her so that she can bear children for me and that through her I too can build a family." |
4 So she gave Bilhah to her husband, and he had intercourse with her. | 4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife. Jacob slept with her, |
5 Bilhah became pregnant and bore Jacob a son. | 5 and she became pregnant and bore him a son. |
6 Rachel said, "God has judged in my favor. He has heard my prayer and has given me a son"; so she named him Dan. | 6 Then Rachel said, "God has vindicated me; he has listened to my plea and given me a son." Because of this she named him Dan. |
7 Bilhah became pregnant again and bore Jacob a second son. | 7 Rachel's servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. |
8 Rachel said, "I have fought a hard fight with my sister, but I have won"; so she named him Naphtali. | 8 Then Rachel said, "I have had a great struggle with my sister, and I have won." So she named him Naphtali. |
9 When Leah realized that she had stopped having children, she gave her slave Zilpah to Jacob as his wife. | 9 When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took her maidservant Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife. |

13 and Leah said, "How happy I am! Now women will call me happy"; so she named him Asher. | 13 Then Leah said, "How happy I am! The women will call me happy." So she named him Asher. |
14 During the wheat harvest Reuben went into the fields and found mandrakes, which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes." | 14 During wheat harvest, Reuben went out into the fields and found some mandrake plants, which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes." |
15 Leah answered, "Isn't it enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you are even trying to take away my son's mandrakes." Rachel said, "If you will give me your son's mandrakes, you can sleep with Jacob tonight." | 15 But she said to her, "Wasn't it enough that you took away my husband? Will you take my son's mandrakes too?" "Very well," Rachel said, "he can sleep with you tonight in return for your son's mandrakes." |
16 When Jacob came in from the fields in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, "You are going to sleep with me tonight, because I have paid for you with my son's mandrakes." So he had intercourse with her that night. | 16 So when Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. "You must sleep with me," she said.

This time my husband will treat me with honor, because I have borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun. |
21 Later she bore a daughter, whom she named Dinah. | 21 Some time later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah. |
22 Then God remembered Rachel; he answered her prayer and made it possible for her to have children. | 22 Then God remembered Rachel; he listened to her and opened her womb. |
23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, "God has taken away my disgrace by giving me a son. | 23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son and said, "God has taken away my disgrace." |
24 May the Lord give me another son"; so she named him Joseph. | 24 She named him Joseph, and said, "May the LORD add to me another son." |
25 After the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Let me go, so that I can return home. | 25 After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Send me on my way so I can go back to my own homeland. |
26 Give me my wives and children that I have earned by working for you, and I will leave. You know how well I have served you." | 26 Give me my wives and children, for whom I have served you, and I will be on my way. You know how much work I've done for you." |
27 Laban said to him, "Let me say this: I have learned by divination that the Lord has blessed me because of you. | 27 But Laban said to him, "If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you." |
28 Name your wages, and I will pay them." | 28 He added, "Name your wages, and I will pay them." |
29 Jacob answered, "You know how I have worked for you and how your flocks have prospered under my care. | 29 Jacob said to him, "You know how I have worked for you and how your livestock has fared under my care. |
30 The little you had before I came has grown enormously, and the Lord has blessed you wherever I went. Now it is time for me to look out for my own interests." | 30 The little you had before I came has increased greatly, and the LORD has blessed you wherever I have been. But now, when may I do something for my own household?" |
31 "What shall I pay you?" Laban asked. Jacob answered, "I don't want any wages. I will continue to take care of your flocks if you agree to this suggestion: | 31 "What shall I give you?" he asked. "Don't give me anything," Jacob replied. "But if you will do this one thing for me, I will go on tending your flocks and watching over them: |
32 Let me go through all your flocks today and take every black lamb and every spotted or speckled young goat. That is all the wages I want. | 32 Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb and every spotted or speckled goat. They will be my wages. |
33 In the future you can easily find out if I have been honest. When you come to check up on my wages, if I have any goat that isn't speckled or spotted or any sheep that isn't black, you will know that it has been stolen." | 33 And my honesty will testify for me in the future, whenever you check on the wages you have paid me. Any goat in my possession that is not speckled or spotted, or any lamb that is not dark-colored, will be considered stolen." |
34 Laban answered, "Agreed. We will do as you suggest." | 34 "Agreed," said Laban. "Let it be as you have said." |
35 But that day Laban removed the male goats that had stripes or spots and all the females that were speckled and spotted or which had white on them; he also removed all the black sheep. He put his sons in charge of them, | 35 That same day he removed all the male goats that were streaked or spotted, and all the speckled or spotted female goats (all that had white on them) and all the dark-colored lambs, and he placed them in the care of his sons. |
36 and then went away from Jacob with this flock as far as he could travel in three days. Jacob took care of the rest of Laban's flocks. | 36 Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob continued to tend the rest of Laban's flocks. |
37 Jacob got green branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees and stripped off some of the bark so that the branches had white stripes on them. | 37 Jacob, however, took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white stripes on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the branches. |
38 He placed these branches in front of the flocks at their drinking troughs. He put them there, because the animals mated when they came to drink. | 38 Then he placed the peeled branches in all the watering troughs, so that they would be directly in front of the flocks when they came to drink. When the flocks were in heat and came to drink, |
39 So when the goats bred in front of the branches, they produced young that were streaked, speckled, and spotted. | 39 they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted. |
40 Jacob kept the sheep separate from the goats and made them face in the direction of the streaked and black animals of Laban's flock. In this way he built up his own flock and kept it apart from Laban's. | 40 Jacob set apart the young of the flock by themselves, but made the rest face the streaked and dark-colored animals that belonged to Laban. Thus he made separate flocks for himself and did not put them with Laban's animals. |
41 When the healthy animals were mating, Jacob put the branches in front of them at the drinking troughs, so that they would breed among the branches. | 41 Whenever the stronger females were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs in front of the animals so they would mate near the branches, |
42 But he did not put the branches in front of the weak animals. Soon Laban had all the weak animals, and Jacob all the healthy ones. | 42 but if the animals were weak, he would not place them there. So the weak animals went to Laban and the strong ones to Jacob. |
43 In this way Jacob became very wealthy. He had many flocks, slaves, camels, and donkeys. | 43 In this way the man grew exceedingly prosperous and came to own large flocks, and maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys. |

UNVEILED: 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 250R
Only a few days back, we reported in detail about the all new Kawasaki Ninja 650R. Our readers would remember that the new features on the latest edition of the 650cc bike make for one of the most comprehensive upgrades of the recent times. Now, the Ninja 250R, the baby brother to the mighty 650R and arguably world's best 250cc bike, has got a long list of upgrades for its latest version. Billed as a 2013 model, the updated entry-level sport bike gets revised bodywork which makes it look more like the ZX-10R superbike.
The Ninja 250R, in its latest guise, comes with sharper bodywork with larger air vents, chiselled tank & tail section and a new windscreen that shouts ZX-10R. Another change, and a not so visible one at that, is that the fan shroud has been redesigned to push air down to the bottom of the engine and hence, keep heat off the rider. The end can gets a new heat shield and the bike also gets new wheels with a wider 140mm tire (compared to 130mm earlier) at the rear.
Talking about the things that matter the most, Kawasaki Japan website reads that the bike sports all-new DOHC Parallel Twin layout with new pistons, cylinders and crank cases. The motor also gets a a larger oil pan and anodized pistons. While the figures aren't out yet, all the above should translate into more power and reduced acceleration times. The manufacturer claims to have given a re-visit to the chassis and adorned it with more rubber bushings to keep vibrations under check. The suspension set up too gets tweaked a bit along with the bike getting a new shape of the mainframe.
Yet another big news is that the bike will come with the option of ABS and the Japanese bike manufacturer claims that the unit on the 2013 baby Ninja is the "world's smallest".
The colour options for the new bike include Lime Green, Lime Green/Ebony (special edition), Ebony/Metallic Moondust Grey (special edition), Passion Red, Passion Red/Stardust White (special edition), and Pearl Stardust White. Prices have not been announced yet but safely expect the 2013 Ninja 250R to command a slight premium over the outgoing model. We are quite sure that the latest version of the bike will make it to India but when?
Are you listening Bajaj?
Check out the stunning 2013 Ninja 250R in the video below:

Wow nice look
Kawasaki has always meant serious business with it's quater liter bomb shell and in all sanity it should as the Ninja 250 single handedly has been it's most successful motorcycle ever. So here goes another taunt to the competition! Simply superb!
On a different note… why water mark the pictures for motoroids? does motoroids own the copyright? I saw the pictures first come up on VisorDown and they haven't water marked any of the pictures. Just because the actual owner of these photographs was kind enough not to watermark them so that we can freely use them, mean that anyone who uses the pictures starts watermarking the pictures with their own name?
That is one awesome looking bike….absolutely wow. And finally a digital instrumentation cluster. Way to go! I wish the same bike is launched here at a sane price and spares costing far away from being a bomb.
Looks great! Any idea on how much it costs!
Hasnt been launched yet. Only details have been published by the manufacturer.
with all the new bells and whistles, this might creep upwards of the horrendous 3lacs boundary on road Delhi. Even though the tech specs are not out yet, but more torque at the bottom and mid range should be there with the changes done in the engine. With the power restrictions in the Euro countries for a 250cc motor, the power in all probability would remain the same tough.
Sajal Chakraborty I hope some sense prevails at Bajaj and I would say even if they price this at 3 lacs- it'll still be a worthy buy (the build quality is just fabulous). Of course it'll hurt the existing Ninja owners. The only downside is the super expensive spare parts which gives me a high blood pressure everytime I go through the list
Any plans to launch in India? Someone please tell me!
Well bajaj should really think about manufacturing this here, I mean they can do for ktm then they can do for this.
And hope they bring all the colors here rather then just black lime green.. -
wowwww! my dream bike… the digital meter looks promising, hope it also gets that PASS LIGHT switch. Kawasaki means Business!
That is one mean looking machine.. definitely a Strong contender on my wishlist alongside the CBR250, the P200NS, and the KTM.. Now someone please hand me a few bars of gold to barter with.
great bike….
dude going to buy ah
want to
dei duckalty aarambichitiya !!!!!!! vanga poravan mathiriye pesarane !!!!!! lol
Copy of R15.
its far better then old 250cc.
Yes, it got a high beam pass light switch in this new version.
But for Indonesian version, the bike will have an automatic headlamp on feature, which will turn the headlamp ON the moment you switch on the ignition.
In Indonesia, new Kwak Ninja 250 will be priced around 25% more expensive compared to Honda CBR 250 R.
As an illustration, the basic, non ABS version price will be around 3 times the price of Bajaj Pulsar 180 UG4 here.
It will cost around 25% more expensive compared to Honda CBR 250 R in Indonesia, but i guess you guys in India got screwed regarding Ninja 250 pricing policy (just as we're screwed regarding Duke 200 pricing in Indonesia, which is unbelievably more expensive compared to Ninja 250 ABS version, LOL).
What a travesty !!! R15 got nothing to compare against this godlike beauty, it can nicely collect the dust spew by Ninja 250 exhaust and rolling tyre, no doubt about that.
32 PS & 22 Nm, basically matching the max torque and smoothness of CBR 250 powerband, yet having the unmatched edge regarding its max power.
It's getting perfected, and for the added money, very well worth it (atleast here in Indonesia).
It overcomes the weaknesses that was exploited by its direct competitor, CBR 250 R, while extend the lead and improve the rough edges of the old version.
thats great .. hope we get it soon !
Am talkin abt looks not engine n performance!
In India too, the Ninja is substantially pricier than the CBR. The CBR C-ABS version costs around 2 lacs and the hiterto Ninja costs around 3 lacs. I won't compare the price of the Ninja with other motorcycles, because for the price of Ninja you start getting four wheelers here So, basically it's the cost of tech, quality and above all the surreal performance the Ninja commands, factors which have enabled the Ninja to remain the undisputed King in it's segment.
Chaitanya Vedak: You said you buying a Panigale. Why Ninja now?
Idhar Recession se mera Paani-Gal raha hai… toh baaki sab duur ki baat hai.. ab jab tak stability nahi aati…. UNICORN ZINDABAAD…..
It seems Ninja 250 India price is so skyhigh because of import duty levied on it, unlike CBR 250 which was locally made. If both are imported, you can expect the price discrepancy will shrink, atleast not worse than Indonesia's 25% discrepancy it commanded.
I have the Ninja 250r 2008 variant with analog meters. Can anyone tell me if I can upgrade to the digital meters in the new version?
I like…
linda belissima.
agora sim e completa , vou comprar.
ini motor amat bagus… tp…kpn ya bisa beli..mmmmmmmmm…..
agora sim e completa , vou comprar.
hahaha só se eu deixar
