From a cycle tour leader to a bartender at a brown cafe, the people behind classic Amsterdam experiences share the lesser-known places that they love, far from the tourist crowds.
Pieter Roelofs, curator at the Rijksmuseum
The day job: It's a busy afternoon in the Rijksmuseum's Gallery of Honour. At one end of the vaulted hall, visitors gather around a large painting. On its canvas, another crowd is amassing: a patrol of guardsmen readying their arms, their vigilant faces peering out of the shadows. The picture is Rembrandt's The Night Watch, and it's the centrepiece of the museum, newly re-opened after a decade of renovation.
'The building was conceived around this picture, the national icon at the high altar of the cathedral for the arts,' explains Pieter Roelofs as he surveys the room. As curator of 17th-century Dutch painting, he is responsible for 3,500 works, the core of a collection spanning 800 years. 'As an art lover interested in the Dutch Golden Age, this is the best place in the whole world to work,' he says. Nearly half the rooms here bear the fruits of this period, when the Dutch republic ruled the waves and dominated global trade, its new bourgeois pouring wealth into the arts.
'Imagine, there were 1½ million people here in the 17th century, and they must have created between six and 10 million paintings,' says Pieter. 'All in this tiny piece of land next to the sea.'
And what they created was revolutionary. 'Art emerged where everything was worth depicting – even a girl standing in the corner of a kitchen pouring milk in a bowl,' he says. 'This way of making the everyday into something transcendent – it's wonderful.'
The day off: When not at the Rijksmuseum, one of Roelof's favourite places to visit is the Tassenmuseum Hendrikje, which throws a window on to history through one object in particular: the bag. The 4,000 or so in the museum form the largest collection in the world and include 500-year-old leather pouches, embroidered purses for carrying love letters, and even a cat-shaped handbag belonging to Hillary Clinton. The museum is almost an accident – its owner, Hendrikje Ivo, started collecting bags as a hobby – but Pieter thinks its collection is worthy of the Rijksmuseum. Naturally, he is drawn to the 17th-century bags, embellished with materials like pearls and silver. 'They show how wealthy these people were in that short time span – it's not without reason that we call it the Golden Age.'
A few streets away, the house of one prosperous family is preserved intact as the Museum Van Loon. Its rooms chronicle centuries of accumulated grandeur alongside decadent quirks like hidden libraries and false doors, installed when symmetry was all the rage. Outside, visitors are privy to the greenery often hidden behind the city's façades, and can sip tea in formal gardens blossoming with roses. 'You get the feeling of walking back in time,' says Pieter. 'That's the wonderful thing about Amsterdam – we show all these high-quality artworks, but then you walk outside, and the canal band still looks like it did 400 years ago, and this house still gives you a glimpse into the past.'
Amsterdam's rich heritage is only part of its cultural clout. 'It's not just an open-air museum – there's so much more going on,' explains Pieter. One place that's fast become a fixture of his leisure time is the Westergasfabriek, a derelict gasworks on the edge of town that now hosts music, film, theatre and art. On a warm evening, people stream into a music festival, the thump of a bass line drifting over from a colossal gas cylinder; others sit with pizzas and pints outside the weathered buildings that house restaurants and galleries. The surrounding park is full of art, from the giant table and chairs where locals laze, to the canvases getting a spray paint from blue-caped students. Pieter clearly approves. 'It's great how one of the most polluted areas in Amsterdam has been transformed into its new cultural heart.'

I definitely agree with the other reviewer that said this product is like a photoshop tool! I have old acne scars, and some redness in my T-zone, and this really feathers out my features and takes the red out. I use this under the MUF HD foundation, and both products give me a polished dewy look as promised, with mid-coverage I need... [I don't want to mask my face from the world... just accentuate it.]
4.5 in my book... the 0.5 leftover is still in hopes of finding something out there more affordable w/ the same or better quality.

i am loving this. i generally have a lot of redness on my cheeks and a bit around my nose.
i am pretty light skinned (NC25), and my skin is pretty sensitive. i get redness when i am embarrassed, excited, happy, sad, mad, cold, hot. Basically for any reason. I wore this under foundation, and it is perfect! i really minimized A LOT of my redness. I got compliments from my friends, as well as the boyfriend.i personally think this could work even without foundation on top. just make sure to blend it in real well. this stuff is definitely worth the steep price tag. i will continue buying it after i run out. It's thaat good.

This primer is wonderful. It goes on smoothly and does a great job at helping to correct my redness. It doesn't completely get rid of it, but I wasn't expecting a miracle =P It also has not made my skin break out, which is fantastic. I would definitely buy this again.
Please click Continued for full review...
UPDATE: Yup, this definitely gives my cysts, and make that deep underground ones that take over 2 weeks to heal. Docked down from 4 lippies to 2. Sigh, some things are too good to be true.
My quick thoughts after using it for the past three days: functional, gorgeous on the vanity, but a potential breakout causer.
C3/C4; MUFE F&B #2; yellow and pink undertones; sensitive, acne-prone, combo
The product comes as a sleek tube that can be uncapped to reveal a pump nozzle. The consistency is comparable to that of a light liquid foundation, unlike the silicon-y feel of typical primers. The fluid comes out light green, but the color sinks in upon application. If you have no redness to speak of, this will turn your skin yellow. If you have minimal redness (like me), your skin will most likely change tone somewhat and potentially look unnatural; but all of your redness WILL be covered. If you have moderate redness, this product is perfection. Your skin tone will still look natural, but the redness will be diminished, enhancing your face subtly and effectively. There is NO WAY you can look green with this. I actually tested this out by layering it on. You can get away with a little more redness coverage if you go layer by layer, but only to a certain point. And that is a distinction point for this product: it's better used to tone down than to cover up. For red acne spots, this will not cover them completely. It serves as a nice buffer, but you'll definitely need a more serious green concealer on top.
I learned after the first trial that using this on my entire face is not practical. I looked sallow, and the yellow stains on my fingers (washable with water) served as proof. Instead, I've been using it for the mild redness on my nose and in the side corners. It's been working well for that purpose alone. My Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda palette concealers also work great over this.
This primer applies evenly, thanks to its fluid consistency. Note that you MUST moisturize if you have dry skin, because this will adhere to any dry patches (just like how MUFE's F&B foundation does, and to a lesser extent than the HD foundation does.)
Lasting power is ok: it holds up to 5 hours on me. It doesn't start peeling off or anything. Your redness just starts to show through more and more. Sadly, the super smooth skin feeling you get upon application also goes away in a few hours.
I've gotten 2 deep acne bumps (almost cycstic like) around and on my nose since using this, so I'm going to take myself off the primer, and then try it again in a few weeks to check. Will update in a week.
Hope this helped! continued >>

I have a very fair complexion and I flush very easily....I flush when I'm embarrassed, when I laugh, when I get hot or cold, when I'm excited...basically my cheeks are always bright red. I wear liquid foundation for the sole purpose of covering my redness but I hate having a layer of gunk on my face. So I have been interested in green tinted products for a while, and one day I went through Sephora and tried this one, Smashbox's and a few other brands and I must say this one was the best at concealing redness...so good that I don't need to wear foundation with this on. My friends even compliment me on my skin when I'm wearing this! So in its ability to counteract redness, this product deserves a 5/5. However as a primer I'm less than impressed...I'm used to my Bare Minerals Prime Time primer, which feels like silicone and gives that dry, matte feeling, while this feels more like a moisturizer. Don't expect it to do much for oil control or makeup application. But then again I don't need makeup when I'm wearing this so thats no big deal for me. Also I have very acne-prone skin and it hasn't broken me out yet after about 2 weeks of use, and I don't think it will because its oil-free and I can't even feel it on my face when I'm wearing it. I'll definitely buy it again when I run out, it is well worth the price.

I have some little reddish bumps on my face, nothing huge, but in the summer it looks kind of worse. Anyways, I tried the green version because the SA told me it would combat redness in the skin. It seems like it somewhat reduces the redness, but it was nothing major. In terms of it being a good primer, I don't think it was. My foundation went on just as how it would have gone over regular moisturizer, and it did not help my foundation stay on any longer than usual. I returned this because it wasn't worth the $40.
I have this primer in a periwinkle color, which is No.2
I LOVE this primer! It's so smooth, mild, and does its job! It's not like pore clogging or harsh on my acne prone skin. I bought this when I used to have really oily skin, and it really absorbed the oil throughout the day, and made my foundation stay on much longer. Now, my skin is less oily in general, and this works even better! It is said that you can wear this alone without any foundation, but you know, that's just personal reference. I personally wouldnt.
The color blends well into the skin, without any residues or streakiness! I dont wear this everyday though. It's only for special occasions or going somewhere where I know I'm gonna stay out for long hours.
It's definitely worth a try if you're looking for a foundation primer
I love this stuff! I'm a blue-eyed blonde with fair skin and I've tried a number of green primers to reduce the redness in my skin and nothing works as well as MUFA's HD green primer. The green "neutralizes" the redness and leaves me with porcelain skin. It does give me a yellow undertone but it makes my skin look creamy rather than sallow.
I also like the fact that it has the smoother, thinner consistancy of foundation rather than the thicker gel-like consistancy of other primers like Smashbox. I find that it applies easier and more evenly on my skin.
MUFA also doesn't leave me shiny or cause breakouts. My foundation seems to last longer, but I also don't have to apply nearly as much because I'm not trying to cover up so much redness anymore. In short, it's a "forever" product!

I bought this product from Sephora after having tried many, many green primers/color correctors. While I liked that this product did not clump up into green balls or look noticeably green (as others have before), it was quite dark and made my skin look...sickly, or just "off." To be fair, it did tone down my redness a bit.

By: BARRY MASSEY Associated Press
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Gov. Susana Martinez has clamped down on the Legislature's watchdog committees in what lawmakers consider an attempt to limit their oversight of the Republican governor's agencies.
Administration agencies are telling the Legislative Finance Committee and the Legislative Education Study Committee their requests for information must go to the governor's chief of staff to be approved before information will be provided.
The committees typically contact agencies directly to seek data and documents.
LFC Chairman Rep. Luciano "Lucky" Varela of Santa Fe says the governor is "drawing the battle lines."
House Republican Leader Donald Bratton of Hobbs says the new policy could create a bottleneck for getting information.
Martinez spokesman Michael Lonergan says administration agencies will "continue to provide requested information to the Legislature consistent with state law."

They have a few Lobb Chapels in both black and brown (I forget the exact shade, but I think it was the parisian brown misty calf) for 40%+25% off = 55% off, bringing it down to about $650. They had several sizes of each still available...I'd call and ask for their current stock. They also have a prestige-line loafer (looks like the Edward) in black with the same discount.

First of all, my apologies to all for x-posting of the original
matter--I did not realize there was such a major overlap in user base on
pd-list and pd-dev lists making my x-post truly redundant.> since rPars can't be used by any other thread, you need to make a copy
This must be it! You are absolutely right as there is no guarantee rPars
won't get destructed (with the end of the constructor function) before
the worker thread is properly instantiated. FWIW, instead of creating a
copy of rPars, I've actually gone with Robin's suggestion to use
sched_yield() and have a wait condition which is cleared once the worker
thread has spawned to ensure it will get the necessary data from rPars
before they are destructed as follows:
void *pd_cwiid_pthreadForAudioUnfriendlyOperations(void *ptr)
threadedFunctionParams *rPars = (threadedFunctionParams*)ptr;
t_wiimote *x = rPars->wiimote;
t_float local_led = 0;
t_float local_rumble = 0;
unsigned char local_rpt_mode = x->rpt_mode;
while(x->unsafe > -1) {
if ((local_led == x->led) && (local_rumble == x->rumble) &&
(local_rpt_mode == x->rpt_mode)) {
if (x->unsafe) x->unsafe = 0; //signal that the thread init is
pthread_cond_wait(&x->unsafe_cond, &x->unsafe_mutex);
static void *pd_cwiid_new(t_symbol* s, int argc, t_atom *argv)
// spawn threads for actions known to cause sample drop-outs
threadedFunctionParams rPars;
rPars.wiimote = x;
pthread_mutex_init(&x->unsafe_mutex, NULL);
pthread_cond_init(&x->unsafe_cond, NULL);
pthread_create( &x->unsafe_t, NULL, (void *)
&pd_cwiid_pthreadForAudioUnfriendlyOperations, (void *) &rPars);
// wait until other thread has properly intialized so that
// rPars do not get destroyed before the thread has gotten its
// pointer information
while(x->unsafe) {
//must use as many yields as necessary as there is no
//guarantee that one will be enough
//also on Linux use sched_yield
//rather than pthread_yield
Many thanks all for your help on this one! Hopefully the existence of
this thread will help others who may be looking for similar solutions.

Re:Cryptography doesn't help against GPS spoofing. (180 comments)
You can't even receive the P(Y) code without the encryption key.
Why would you care about content when you can always simply retransmit the signal. Few microseconds delay in receiving signal by GPS receiver is sufficient to spoof it.
Cryptography doesn't help against GPS spoofing. (180 comments)
Our company is developing and producing some GPS based hardware (GPS GNSS OBUs). Even so I'm working in a different group, not involved in design/support of these, back in 2007 we had internal courses for R&D employes that was presented by a professor who is considered to be one of the leading authorities in design of GPS (unfortunately I don't remember his name right now). One of the thing that was said on these courses was that GPS spoofing is a problem that isn't possible to prevent by means of cryptography. Here is explanation why:
Let say you have two directional antennas:
- the first antenna receives GPS satellite signal
- and second is retransmitting the same signal with higher effect in the direction of GPS receiver you want to spoof.
The only thing is required to spoof positioning of GPS receiver is to put a few microseconds delay in retransmitted signal. Having higher output effect from spoofing antenna can make original satellite signal to be completely invisible for spoofed GPS receiver (satellite signal is rather weak, so it would not be any problem in achieving this). The position is calculated by time difference between timestamped signals received from different satellites visible to GPS receiver. So, the satellite and receiver can encrypt and sign the signal whatever they want. But for as long as adversary is able to receive satellite signal and retransmit exact same signal with few microseconds delay, with higher effect - spoofing of GPS receiver is a done deal.

Re:And the numbers are... (326 comments)
Random number is just a short-hand for: a number chosen uniformly at random. I.e. there is a set of numbers that we can choose from and we want to pick one number from this set. A set could be for example: all numbers between 1 and 36, or all integer numbers.... if the procedure of picking the number from given set is truly random, then 999999 have the same probability of being picked by a true random number generator as 234162 or 874926 (or any other). And if your RNG never returns numbers like 999999, then it is a completely broken RNG because here we have a trivial distinguisher from true RNG. The term "random number" by itself (if we forget its shorthand notation) is a nonsense.
lattice-based algorithms. (262 comments)
Even so I think 20 years estimate is way too optimistic... but for what it worth - lattice-based algorithms don't have know quantum computer attacks and Shor algorithm would not work for them.
Re:Irrelevant comparison? (821 comments)

Advantage... compared to what type of shoes? (199 comments)
The previous decision, where they claimed that he have an advantage, was based on estimations that: - His blades provides around 90% of energy returned, while as - Human leg provides around 60% of energy return (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUoIQ-KeZ1A around 13:10) I'm completely blank concerning the athletics and world-rank sports competitions, but I got several questions: How athlete's shoes could affect this energy return figures? What types of shoes were tested with this 60% energy return? What prevents athletes from using different types of shoes that provide higher energy return?

- Maha defeat for Congress

Odisha: BJP gains on Modi name, Naveen may slip in his toughest fight
Seeking power for the fourth time in Orissa, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik faces one of the toughest elections of his career. As 10 of the 21 Lok Sabha seats and 70 of the 147 assembly seats in the state go to polls on April 10 — and the rest on April 17 — the BJP, riding on Narendra Modi's popularity, is on the upswing in western Orissa.
Anti-incumbency, and the fact that Pyari Mohan Mohapatra is no longer with him, has made Naveen's task tougher.
BJD insiders estimate they will be lucky to win 85-90 seats in the assembly, far fewer than the 120-plus projected until a couple of months ago, and fewer than even the 103 the party won last time. Holding on to the 14 Lok Sabha seats may prove difficult too.
State BJP president K V Singhdeo is confident of doing far better than in 2009, when the party won six assembly seats and was blanked in the Lok Sabha polls. The Congress won 6 seats in Lok Sabha and 27 in the assembly. It may lose its main opposition status to the BJP in the assembly this time.
The tight spot the BJD is in is indicated by Naveen's punishing schedule over the last two weeks, travelling all over southern, coastal and western Orissa. His meetings in several western Orissa districts have been thinly attended.
Naveen dropped 35 sitting MLAs, including heavyweights such as former finance minister Prafulla Ghadei, to beat anti-incumbency. BJD rebels are likely to hurt him in at least 40-50 constituencies.
Speaking on a hot afternoon in Lebidi, a village of small and marginal farmers in the western Orissa district of Bargarh, the young farmer Mukund Sahoo expressed his frustration with the BJD.
"Naveen Patnaik perhaps thinks he has kept us happy by giving rice at Re 1 per kg. But there is nothing beyond that for me. I have two acres of land, but there is no irrigation. I work as a labourer in other people's fields. The voltage is so low that our children study by a kerosene lantern," Sahoo said.
"I have heard of Modi. I think the BJP will win the Lok Sabha polls," he added. Sahoo voted BJD in 2009.
The subsidised rice scheme for BPL cardholders announced before the 2009 polls — starting at Rs 2/kg, revised to Re 1/kg in February 2013 — helped BJD sweep the assembly and Lok Sabha polls that year. But it no longer satisfies people.
Sahoo's neighbour Prafulla Singh, who works as a labourer in rice mills around Bargarh town, complained that the rich seemed to be getting richer, while their own situation deteriorated. "I have a BPL card, yet no officer cares for my continued…

There are tools for creating purchase orders and work orders, scheduling warehouse appointments, and managing sales and shipping, as well as databases for suppliers, customers, and carriers. A selection of inventory options lets users not only track the receipt or transfer of inventory, but also manage repair orders and leasing. The program is also capable of producing a huge variety of reports, including daily checklists, asset summaries, sales quotations, mailing labels, and much more.

"From our greeting at the door to warm goodbye at the end of our stay, the staff at Abbeymoore made our Honeymoon sensational. We experienced all the things that you would expect at a great B&B (comfy bed, tourist info, clean bathroom, etc). What made our stay amazing was the excellent food, real conversations with friendly staff, and above-and-beyond service. If I had to wager, I would say that Anne, Chris, and Michelle have a running competition to out do each other on customer service lol. For example, my wife and I mentioned that we went to the theater on the wrong night and planned on going the next day. Not only did Anne take it upon herself to call the theater to find out about tickets, but she secured them for us and had them at breakfast the next day! And yes, we enjoyed the performance. Both of us enjoyed our stay in Victoria and had a chance to go to a few B&B's. Part of me is sad that the other experience we had in town was pale in comparison to staying at Abbeymoore. However, we are both happy about having found this gem of comfort and hospitality and plan on staying here again next time we come visit. Nathan and Theresa Early"

In addition to sushi, the restaurant offers teriyaki-style bowls, plates, and sandwiches.
The traditional Japanese dish shabu-shabu translates to "swish-swish" after the sound of thinly sliced meat or seafood cooking in a pot of broth populated with cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and other vegetables. Tokyo Shabu Shabu specializes in this edible onomatopoeia, giving diners the opportunity to customize every part of their meals as they cook each bite themselves. Beginning with the broth, guests can build their pot around a savory miso, spicy kimchi, or 12 other liquid bases. Certified-Angus beef, delicately marbled Kurobuta Berkshire pork, or unique Japanese seafood selections such as fish cake cook swiftly in the flavorful broths. Patrons can pair their bowls with eight different styles of sake and Japanese bottled drinks such as Kirin tea or melon soda.
A breathtaking 21 stories above downtown Los Angeles, Takami Sushi & Robata Restaurant gives guests views of the glittering city lights below. But Executive Chef Stan Ota's gaze, however, never leaves the chopping boards and plates in front of him. Each maki roll and fresh-seafood dish he creates is born out of a lifetime of experience spent cooking Japanese- and French-style food. His cooking has garnered recognition from many trained palates, including British food critic Jay Rayner who put Ota's restaurant on his list of where to find the world's best foods.
In addition to seafood such as lobster rolls and lemon-albacore rolls, the extensive menu boasts a wide selection of fine robata, from filet mignon to baby lamp chops. Beyond these printed offerings, Ota also performs a feat of Japanese cookery called Omakase–which translates literally to "I'll leave it to you"– improvising a five-course menu based upon the fresh-market ingredients gathered that day. To compliment meals, Ota puts an equal amount of thought into his cocktail list, which features exciting blends of liquors and spices. These drinks include lychee-infused mojitos, white-tea-rose martinis, and the Serrano kiss, spiced gin and lime with muddled Serrano chili.
Diners might default to tapas bars when seeking out small plates, but there's one more term that should be added to their search: izakaya. This is the name for Japanese eateries that churn out "pub-style small plates," according to the Los Angeles Business Journal; Itacho is one such eatery. Its menu is filled with shareable options, such as steamed clams in an asari-butter broth, seaweed marinated with vegetables, and agedashi tofu, deep-fried cubes that dip into flavorful sauces or into customers' pockets should they want leftovers. The reviewer from the Journal also lauded the restaurant's simple-yet-tasty selection of sushi, and, after finishing her meal, said, "[my] only regret is that [I] have not sampled more of the menu."
From the bustling streets of Times Square to the equally vivacious streets of Hong Kong, people walk around with smiles after enjoying the japanese barbecue cuisine at Gyu-Kaku. The restaurant has more than 700 locations worldwide, each rooted in the belief that some of the strongest bonds between friends are forged at the dinner table. Groups dine on a huge variety of Japanese dishes, from popular meat and veggie dishes such as Harami Skirt Steak, Kalbi Short Rib, and Mushroom Medley - to unique Japanese-American appetizers such as the Spicy Tuna Volcano, Pork Gyoza Dumplings, and Chicken Karaage. The real excitement takes place around individual grills, however, where diners can barbecue their own slabs of filet mignon, grilled ahi tuna, or chicken with basil sauce until they are ideally tender or encircled by on-duty firemen.
When one steps inside, Geisha House "can feel like another planet," says the Los Angeles Times. A self-described "surreal, high-class brothel," Geisha House pays homage to Japan's late-night history and adds modern twists such as backlit neon panels in sultry shades of red and pink. A curved mezzanine grants a bird's-eye view of candlelit tables crowned with specialty rolls full of burdock root, tempura flakes, torched lobster, and other adventurous ingredients. Chatter emanates from a 50-foot sake bar serving the Japanese rice liquor straight or poured into specialty cocktails, sips of which flank bites of carpaccio, mongolian lamb chops, and udon noodles in fragrant broths. A lively dance floor invites diners to remember the simple joy of motion and lets method actors cast as sprinklers fit in.

FORT SMITH - The first time Gregory Frazier rode around the world by motorcycle, it took him four years and he wasn't even aware he had done it.
Frazier was motorcycling all over in search of the best touring roads he could find. He made two videos out of those explorations in the late 1980s, one featuring the 10 best roads in America and another of the top 10 roads in the Alps.
In the early '90s, during one of his return trips to the United States, a friend pointed out that Frazier had been completely around the world during his travels, having gone through each of the planet's 24 time zones at least once.
That fired Frazier's ambition, and it was the start of a globe-trotting career that is now unequaled. He is the only person to have ridden solo around the world on a motorcycle four times, and two years ago he went around the world again, this time with a passenger riding behind him.
And for Frazier, adventure touring really has become a career. For 20 years he has been riding and racing motorcycles all over the world, and when he's not riding he's writing books and magazine articles, producing videos, leading paid tours or giving presentations on his travels.
It hasn't made him wealthy - home base is a single-wide trailer in Fort Smith - but it's all Frazier wants to do.
"I have this disease," he said. "It's called wanderlust. I can't remember not having it."
King of the road
Darwin Holmstrom, a senior editor with Motorbooks, a publisher of automotive and motorcycle books, commissioned Frazier to write "Motorcycle Touring: Everything You Need to Know," one of at least 10 books Frazier has written.
"I really didn't think of anybody else," Holmstrom said. "He was my first choice."
Holmstrom said he couldn't release sales figures for the book, published in 2005, but that it is possibly the best-selling motorcycle touring book ever published. Through the many books and videos, Holmstrom added, Frazier has almost single-handedly created the expanding craze for adventure touring and global motorcycling.
"Greg's definitely the guy," he said. "There are a couple of other adventure tourists, but none of them are as active as Greg."
If Frazier, who turned 60 this month, had merely gone around the world by the most direct route, that would be one thing. The shortest route, through the United States, Europe and Russia, involves about 16,000 miles by land. On two of his circumnavigations, Frazier's path traced a huge "W" on the globe, riding up and down the Americas, Europe and Africa to the northernmost and southernmost points on those continents. Along the way he has put more than a million miles on dozens of motorcycles.
Bob Clement, a BMW mechanic whose shop in Roberts, Bob's Motorwerks, is something a legend among BMW motorcycle owners, has known Frazier for years and knows his place in motorcycling lore. He compared him to the first man to sail around the world.
"Lots of people took off and did what Magellan did, but Magellan did it first," he said. "Greg's the man."
A fighting Quaker
Frazier was born in 1947 in Indiana, where his parents - his father was half-Crow and half-Sioux and his mother was white - were attending a Quaker college. Frazier contracted his infatuation for motorcycles in the early 1960s, after his family moved to Billings.
His friend had purchased a 50cc Moped and Frazier wanted one, too. His mother said no, absolutely not, and when he was 15, figuring he needed to get away from things like friends with motorcycles, Frazier's parents sent him off to a Quaker high school in Pennsylvania. It was a mixed success.
"I had to fight my way through Quaker school," Frazier said. "Everyone wanted to take me on. I was the only Indian in the whole school."
At 18, while attending a Quaker college in Philadelphia, Frazier was finally old enough to buy a motorcycle without his mother's permission. His first bike was a Honda 305.
"I rode that thing - I rode it into the ground," he said. "It was just freedom."
In 1970, when he was still in college, he spent a month and a half motorcycling around Europe. It wasn't a major adventure, compared with his later exploits, but it taught him that language was no great barrier and that he could make his way across borders, dealing with visas, paperwork and different currencies.
"After that, the world was mine," he said.
It would still be some years before Frazier surrendered to wanderlust. After earning a master's degree in business administration from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Wash., he worked for about five years as "a consultant, lobbyist and corporate pooch," as he said in an interview with the university's alumni magazine in 2005. But by the mid-1980s, he'd already had enough.
"I dropped all that and just decided to let this disease run its course," he said.
In addition to making videos, he started writing, eventually becoming a regular contributor to most of the major motorcycle touring magazines in the United States, Japan and Germany. In 1994, he wrote his first book on motorcycles.
"The publisher came up with the title and then we had to think of a way to fill 150 pages," he said. The title was "Motorcycle Sex: Or Freud Would Never Understand the Relationship Between Me and My Motorcycle."
Round and round he goes
After discovering that he had accidentally circumnavigated the world, Frazier set his sights on a more methodical repeat. He talked to a German travel writer and people at Guinness World Records and was advised to file a formal "flight plan" to document and validate his journey. But Frazier, ever the lone wolf, didn't like the idea of living by anybody else's rules.
As for Guinness, he said, "They're in the business of selling books. They'll put you in their book for shoving nails up your nose."
For his second trip, begun in 1997, Frazier decided to trace that giant "W" on the globe, going to the ends of the road on four continents. Those outposts have suitably exotic names: Deadhorse, Alaska; Ushuaia, Argentina; North Cape, Norway; and Cape Agulhaus, South Africa.
It took him two years to complete that circumnavigation, including the six months he spent back in the states after running out of money in Africa and flying home to earn enough to complete the trip. He did the whole trek on a 1981 800cc BMW. Although Frazier is a certified BMW mechanic and used to race BMWs, he calls himself a "motorcycle agnostic."
In one of his books, "Riding the World," he said that when people ask him to name the best bike for circling the globe, "My answer is always the same, 'Whichever bike suits you.' "
That willingness to ride almost anything became the basis for his third big trip, begun in 2001. His goal was to ride around the world on motorcycles made on each continent. He soon learned that no bikes were manufactured in Australia, Antarctica or Africa, but he still climbed aboard lots of different machines.
Those included a Harley-Davidson and an Indian in the United States, a BMW in Europe and an Enfield, SYN, Hartford and Honda in Asia. In South America, he rode an Amazonas, the only motorcycle ever manufactured there. At the time it was built, the Amazonas was the biggest bike in the world - basically a Volkswagen engine crammed onto an Indian frame.
After Frazier completed his third global ride, his editors at Motorcycle Consumer News asked him to write a series of articles on preparing an unfamiliar motorcycle for a trip around the world. He spent the next six months, with lots of help from friends, customizing a Kawasaki KLR 650cc bike with $3,000 worth of improvements, including a steel skid plate, disc brakes, special foot pegs, heavy-duty shocks, stainless-steel replacements for every nut, bolt and screw, and a much larger, more comfortable seat.
A sliver of doubt
Then came a challenge from a friend. The motorcycle might look primed for a trip around the world, he told Frazier, but how would he know all the modifications were up to the task unless he put the bike to the test? That sliver of doubt, once planted, wouldn't give Frazier any peace, and in 2002 he set off again.
This time he followed a fairly direct route - though with detours to Cuba and the Sahara Desert - spending five months motoring through Europe, across all eight of Russia's time zones and then the United States. Frazier wasn't sure if anyone else had soloed around the world three times by motorcycle, but he knew four times was a singular achievement.
"I was done," he said. "I'd done everything I could think of. I was retired."
Or so he thought. Then Donna-Rae Polk asked him to take her around the world. This was in 2004, a couple of years after Frazier had met Polk in Denver. She was 61 and had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. She wanted to go on a dream trip, to see the world before it was too late.
"I said, 'No, honey, I'm done,' " Frazier recalled, but Polk was persistent.
He did finally agree to take her, though she was going to have to pay for the trip, and they jointly decided to do another ends-of-the-earth voyage, going as far north and south as they could on four continents.
Frazier still wasn't sure he wanted to do it, but he figured he would wear her out on the first leg, from Mexico to the top of Alaska. They took the Kawasaki, camping out on the side of the road, and they bounced and slid over mud and gravel on the final 250 miles. On the way home, still hoping to dampen her enthusiasm, he drove from Seattle to Fort Smith in one day, then to Denver the next day.
The day after arriving in Denver, as Frazier tells it, "She said, 'When do we leave for South America?' "
He knew he was whipped, and off they went, completing their circumnavigation in late January 2006. It wasn't easy sharing one motorcycle for 25,000 miles. After they reached the bottom of Africa, Polk flew back to Colorado for a month and Frazier rendezvoused with some motorcycling friends in Germany. He also flew to Lake George, N.Y., to give his hour-long adventure presentation at a tour bike rally, something that had become a steady part-time job.
When the trip was over, though, Frazier figured it was worth it.
"I needed some good karma," he said. "I think I got enough karma on that trip to balance the scale."
Frazier figures he has another 10 good years left on a motorcycle. He has no plans for further circumnavigations, instead focusing on going back to his favorite places, or seeing new ones.
He left Saturday on the first leg of a trip that will take him to the Japanese island of Hokkaido. He will be the "personality" on a two-week motorcycle tour sponsored by Aerostich Motorcycle Tours. After that, he'll be traveling on his own in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Other trips are planned well into the future.
"If I was born 125 years ago," he said, "I think I'd be riding a horse around North America."

Standardized test taken by U.S. high school students applying to colleges. It is divided into two principal sections, verbal and mathematical. Promulgated largely through the efforts of James B. Conant as a means of promoting merit-based (rather than class-based) college admissions, it was administered to few students before the end of World War II but by the end of the 20th century was taken by millions each year. Scores declined as the test came to be more widely administered, and in 1995 the score of 500 for each section (midway between the extremes of 200 and 800) was reestablished as the actual mean score of those tested. The test, which most colleges use as one measure of an applicant's ability, has been denounced as biased in favour of men and the white middle class. Other critics claim that the SAT is inadequate for testing various important capacities.

Mesa is expecting holiday traffic to flow through the Superstition Springs area a little more smoothly this shopping season, but the prediction has nothing to do with the spastic economy's effect on shoppers.
Rather, the city is testing a new traffic signal system that monitors traffic at every intersection and constantly tweaks timing of the lights. It's the first system of its kind in Arizona and is being studied during the holidays to see if it improves traffic flow, said Alan Sanderson, deputy transportation director.
Mesa installed the system in the Superstition Springs retail district because the area's numerous signals and turn arrows create the best potential to improve traffic flows with a more responsive program, Sanderson said.
"We're pretty anxious to see how that works out and if it turns out to do a better job managing that traffic, then we'll look at possibly expanding to the Fiesta (Mall) area and other potential locations," Sanderson said.
Like many cities, Mesa has a traffic management system with several timing plans that change throughout the day in response to established traffic patterns. But the system doesn't respond to changes such as a heavier traffic flow during the holiday shopping season, Sanderson said.
The new system measures every intersection, with buried detectors or cameras that sense vehicles. It then adjusts timing to maximize efficiency, Sanderson said.
The program, the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System, was developed in Australia and has been refined over several decades. SCATS manages 18 signals around the mall, mostly on Superstition Springs Boulevard, Power Road and Southern Avenue.
The system was installed this summer with a $1.2 million grant from the Federal Highway Administration. The funding includes a study that should be finished in early 2012.
"I think the results of this study will be used by the FHA and other cities in the same situation as us to see if it's really worthwhile to take the next step or not," Sanderson said.
If would take many years to expand the system citywide, Sanderson said. It's more costly to run SCATS than the current plan because every intersection on the system would need detectors to measure traffic flows.
Mesa has 408 signalized intersections.

At Mulligan's Island Golf & Entertainment, 60 covered hitting stalls look out onto 11 acres of target areas, a sprawling configuration that helped earn the facility a spot on Golf Range Magazine's 2011 list of top 100 ranges. Golfers can use the driving range's 20 heated stalls to practice during off-season months without worrying about cooler temperatures stiffening their swings, or they can invest in lessons that use digital teaching methods such as computerized swing analysis to lower handicaps. A USGA-rated course tests participants with nine holes of regulation-size golf, while an 18-hole pitch-and-putt short course and two mini-golf courses help golfers calibrate aspects of their short game. The practice mecca also tests swings at 10 batting cages that feed baseballs and softballs at adjustable speeds to suit both little leaguers and professionals fishing for compliments.
In 1945, Dr. Anthony Venditti—known as the godfather of New England auto racing—broke ground for the Seekonk Speedway. Today, his wife, son, and grandson carry on his legacy by managing the oval, 1/3-mile track with its 7-foot banking and 420-foot straightaway lengths. They also oversee the track's concessions, but spectators can tote along their own six-pack coolers of frosty libations in the wheelbarrow full of gold bars they plan to wager during the races.
As neon obstacles glow under a series of black lights, teams move through two levels of mazes and catwalks as they avoid the photon blasts of opposing players' and the pitfalls of the 7,500 sq. ft. arena. While sprinting up ramps and seeking cover, players must avoid strategically placed laser mines that flash and beep before tagging anyone within reach, which effectively deactivates their equipment and James Bond trivia knowledge for 12 seconds. Players can earn points by blasting the mines first, while bases and targets offer chances to earn even more tally marks.
After futuristic battles conclude, guests can putt through an 18-hole mini golf course surrounded by alien planets and dinosaurs. Off the course, visitors can also sling skee balls and pop tokens into games in the arcade to win tickets redeemable for prizes. With a laser maze where players navigate beams of light and four party rooms added to the mix, Lazer Gate becomes the ideal spot for birthday parties or training camps for lethargic clones.
A New World Laser Tag and Underworld Gaming serves up family-friendly entertainment in an environment styled with an eye for the futuristic. Similar to zero-gravity dominos, the special effects in the 7,000-square-foot laser tag arena put an unconventional twist on the traditional game. The mysterious space is filled with drifting fog and atmospheric music, eerily illuminated by black lights. Technological advancements, including a competitive scoring system, multiple calibers of laser ammunition, and temporary shields, add an extra layer of progressive excitement to any campaign. Likewise, because New World's lightweight vests are fit for kids ages 3 and older, the whole family or naptime club can come play along, assuming their trigger fingers are ready.
In 1958, Ryan Family Amusements founder James A. Ryan opened a simple, eight-lane bowling alley, planting the foundation for a slew of entertainment centers throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island. At 10 locations, visitors enjoy a variety of arcade and skill games in addition to traditional candlepin, tenpin, or duckpin bowling. Every Friday and Saturday evening from 9 p.m. until midnight, bowling lanes take on an incandescent glow, allowing bowlers to experience futuristic entertainment without the inconvenience of rising jetpack-fuel prices. Bumper bowling is available for younger players, and an onsite concession stand refreshes responsible adults with glasses of beer and wine (though not available at Cape Cod Mall, Newport, or Oak Bluffs locations).
Jump Around Parties & Playdates boasts a sprawling indoor gymnasium of inflatable bounce houses, obstacle courses, and interactive games designed to give kids' energetic limbs and imaginative minds a place to explore. During open-jump sessions, staff members supervise children while they take on winding obstacle courses, break free from gravity in the moon bounce, and sharpen their jump shot during bounce-enhanced basketball games. The facility's two private party rooms host birthday celebrations that dazzle kids with pizzas, Cold Stone Creamery cake, and balloons in between their romps inside the climate-controlled gym. The center's invitation-creation center makes up quality invites so parents can use their time party planning instead of mastering calligraphy.
