Arsenic in Wine: Dangerous or Beneficial?March 26, 2015 2:23 PM
Dan Nosowitz in Modern Farmer offers some insights on the recent class action lawsuit filed against California winemakers. The plaintiffs found that some inexpensive wines contained arsenic at levels exceeding the federal drinking water standard for this substance. Nosowitz rightly points out that the standard is for water, not wine and "people don't, or shouldn't, drink as much wine as water."
Well, let's not go that far… kidding of course! Moderation is surely a good idea when it comes to alcohol consumption. Yet even if you drank as much wine as you do water, there's still no reason to be alarmed about arsenic. The levels in wine are still too low to have any significant adverse impacts, and ironically, such small amounts might even have health benefits.
Arsenic is an element that naturally occurs in the earth's crust, so traces of arsenic inevitably appear in food and water. Certainly, high levels of arsenic are not healthy and concentrated exposures can be immediately deadly. But the trace levels found in water and food are rarely an issue. Problems have emerged primarily in developing nations like Bangladesh where poor people drink from untreated water sources with arsenic levels that range in the hundreds of parts per billion (ppb), and sometimes more than 1,000 ppb.
It's worth noting that the levels allegedly found in wine are reportedly just five times greater (or 500 percent higher as noted in the press) than the federal drinking water standard of 10 ppb. So, some number of samples—we don't know how many—tested by the plaintiffs in this case had some level of arsenic near the 50 ppb level. But did you know that until 2006, that was the allowable level in drinking water in the United States and it had been for decades?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) changed the standard to 10 ppb in 2001 with full compliance not required until 2006. The 10 ppb standard for arsenic in drinking water is excessively overcautious. When EPA proposed it, it was very controversial because the cost to small drinking water systems was substantial and the benefits highly questionable. EPA's Science Advisory Board highlighted lots of problems with EPA's science and maintained that the change could actually undermine public health. The SAB explained that the costs might cause some small communities to disconnect their water systems, forcing people to use untreated well water, but EPA finalized the rule anyway.
If you look at the history, you can see that EPA did not change the standard for safety reasons; they did it for political ones. You may remember, environmental activists attacked the Bush administration for taking time to reconsider changing the standard, which the Clinton administration rushed out during the final hours of the Clinton presidency. Green groups made it sound like the Bush administration was adding arsenic to the water supply. And this bad press made a rational and scientific debate impossible.
Data Torturing at the CPSCMarch 19, 2015 1:57 PM
James Mills of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development lamented in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine back in 1993: "'If you torture your data long enough, they will tell you whatever you want to hear' has become a popular observation in our office. In plain English, this means that study data, if manipulated in enough different ways can prove whatever the investigator wants to prove."
Government regulators will resort to such data torture to justify an activist regulatory agendas if they can't do it with good data and sound science. One approach includes selective use of data—excluding years or datasets that might change the conclusions of a risk assessment. The Consumer Product Safety Commission's recent Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel (CHAP) report on the chemical class known as phthalates offers one new example of excluding inconvenient data.
In short, the CHAP report is being used to justify a proposed rule that would essentially ban the use of certain chemicals for toys that children might mouth or chew. These chemicals make plastics soft and pliable, suited for such things as a plastic version of a "rubber duckie." For background on this issue, see my other blog posts here and here.
In addition, in the absence of any compelling body of data that any individual phthalate is the cause of human health effects, the panel relied on the possibility that the cumulative effects of phthalates as a class pose risks. Accordingly, they needed data on human exposure from all sources.
The panel developed a "cumulative risk assessment" that they maintained justified regulations. But pharmacologist Christopher J. Borgert, Ph.D., observes in a review of the CHAP report that the panel's cumulative risk assessment: "failed to recognize obvious inconsistencies with human experience and clinical evidence"; "overstates the accuracy of its cumulative risk methods and conclusions"; and "appears to have grossly overestimated chemical potencies." In other words, the panel failed to properly apply the available data and research.
To make matters worse, they used old and irrelevant data for their human exposure assessments even though more accurate and recent data was available. Former and current CPSC commissioners have noted that had the panel used the most recent data, their risk assessment would have produced the opposite result. This issue raises the prospect that the panel members were intentionally "selective" in their use of data because they desired to generate a particular conclusion, as appears to be the case with their selection of studies that they also reviewed.
CPSC's Scientific Shenanigans on PhthalatesMarch 18, 2015 2:00 PM
Many "stakeholders" have complained about the process through which the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) developed its proposed rule related to a class of chemicals called phthalates—and rightly so. In particular, the agency's failure to allow public comment and open peer review of its Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel report (CHAP report) underscore the fact that bureaucrats want to avoid scrutiny that might hold them accountable for rash and unscientific decisions.
Designed to make plastics soft and pliable, these chemicals have many valuable uses for making a wide range of products from blood bags, to rain boots and swimming pool liners as well as children's toys, which are the subject of this regulation. Safely used for decades, activists and regulators are poised to essentially throw away these valuable technologies based largely on junk science.
While this rule only affects toys that children might place in their mouths or chew, it sets a terrible precedent. I already detailed how this rule might harm consumers in a blog post last week. Now let's look at the so-called "science" behind it.
The justification for the proposed regulations are found within the CHAP report, which is a review and risk assessment that the agency released in July 2014. A key problem stems from the fact that the CHAP report relies on a selective review of limited studies that offer scant evidence that individual phthalates or cumulative exposure pose any significant risk to humans at current exposure levels.
Most of the CHAP-report-identified "evidence" that these chemicals pose health risks comes from lab tests that over-dose rodents to trigger health effects. Such tests are not particularly relevant to humans that better metabolize the substance and who are exposed to traces that are multitudes lower.
The human research highlighted in the CHAP report is not particularly compelling either. Many of these human studies are noted to be "small," which limits their value for drawing any conclusions. And many of them report associations between potential health effects in babies whose mothers' phthalate exposure levels were measured in single "spot" urine samples during pregnancy. Given that humans metabolize phthalates relatively quickly, one time spot measurements may be misleading about actual exposures, raising important questions about the utility of such studies.
CPSC Proposal on Phthalates Likely to Do More Harm than GoodMarch 13, 2015 8:58 AM
On Monday, the Consumer Product Safety Commission will close the comment period for a proposed rule related to chemicals used to make soft and pliable plastics. While they claim to do this in the name of children's health, it's not clear that the rule will do more good than harm.
The process and the "scientific" review that brings us to this proposed rule has been controversial, to say the least. I detail some of those issues in comments that I will submit on Monday and will post some of that here on Monday as well.
Unfortunately, not enough attention has focused on the fact that the agency-commissioned study—referred to as the Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel (CHAP) report—failed to fully consider the potential implications of substitute products that will replace those they ban.
Before initiating a rulemaking that may remove chemical technologies from the marketplace that have been safely used for decades, CPSC should consider whether replacement products pose greater risks. The CHAP allegedly addresses replacement products by reviewing data on the potential environmental health effects of other chemical substitutes. But the CHAP did not address whether or not the substitutes that might actually win a place in the market would affect product performance in ways that help or harm public health and safety.
The rule should ensure net safety, considering all factors. It is incumbent that regulators don't inadvertently increase risks with short-sighted decisions. Based on the CHAP, we lack reasonable assurance that regulatory action will increase net safety and, in fact, such actions might accidentally introduce new hazards and even greater public health and safety risks.
Victory for "Caveman" Blogger and Free Speech in North CarolinaFebruary 19, 2015 6:54 AM
Many people associate professional licensing with consumer safety. For example, we wouldn't want any schlub doing surgery. But where occupational licensing laws may have started out with the goal of protecting consumers, they have now become a means by which certain professionals restrict competition. States require licenses for hundreds of occupations including perilous professions like florist, funeral director, hair braider, and fortune teller.
The case of the "Caveman" blogger who was bullied by the North Carolina Board of Dietetics/Nutrition for providing nutritional advice without a license illustrates how licensing threatens not just our economic freedom, but our other basic freedoms. Luckily for blogger Steve Cooksey, his right to express his opinion and give advice to fellow dieters won out over the need to protect licensed dieticians from competition.
As the Institute for Justice, which has been fighting on Cooksey behalf, wrote yesterday:
In December 2011, Steve Cooksey started an advice column on his blog to answer reader questions about his struggle with Type II diabetes. Cooksey had lost 78 pounds, freed himself of drugs and doctors, and normalized his blood sugar after adopting a low-carb "Paleo" diet, modeled on the diet of our Stone Age ancestors. He wanted to use his blog to share his experience with others.
However, in January 2012, the North Carolina Board of Dietetics/Nutrition informed Cooksey that he could not give readers personalized advice on diet, whether for free or for compensation, because doing so constituted the unlicensed practice of dietetics. The board deemed Cooksey's advice the unlicensed practice of nutritional counseling, sent him a 19-page print-up of his website indicating in red pen what he was and was not allowed to say, and threatened him with legal action if he did not comply.
New U.S. Dietary Recommendations to Correct Misunderstanding about Cholesterol, Not FatFebruary 12, 2015 1:34 PM
Thomas Jefferson once said, "If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." On this issue, TJ seems to have hit the nail on the head.
Since Uncle Sam started telling us what to eat, Americans have steadily grown less healthy in many ways. In the 1970s, we were told to eat less meat and more grains. We listened, but it did little to curtail the oncoming obesity "epidemic" (some claim government recommendations may have actually caused this epidemic). And for decades, we have been told to restrict our consumption of cholesterol in order to reduce our risk of cardiovascular disease. That is, until now. The new dietary guidelines will no longer recommend restrictions on cholesterol consumption. This is a great first step, but the best advice is to stop listening to government nutritional advice.
For many people, this will seem like an abrupt about-face after 50 years of lectures about cholesterol. But for those in the medical research field, the shift is long overdue. During the last decade, it has become increasingly clear that there is no real evidence linking dietary cholesterol and blood serum cholesterol (which is used as a stand-in for CVD risk). While many physicians are still wedded to the idea that their patients at risk for cardiovascular disease should limit their egg consumption, it sounds like the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee—a joint effort of HHS and USDA—has finally come to grips with the evidence. Unfortunately, the real lesson remains unlearned: the U.S. government shouldn't be the authority on what is or isn't a healthy diet.
The DGAC, which consists of "nationally recognized experts," meets every five years to review medical literature and hash out recommendations for what a healthy diet should look like. Their report to the secretaries ultimately becomes the official Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which is used by policy makers as a guideline in federally administered nutritional programs and assistance. Unfortunately, it sounds like they will still cling to their increasingly suspect beliefs about saturated fat.
Tainted Claims about "Agglomerated" CorksFebruary 5, 2015 10:41 AM
A recent article in Wine Industry Insight titled "Micro-Agglomerates: 350 Million Illegal Corks Per Year?" reports: "Agglomerated cork manufacturers and importers are facing scrutiny from two major federal agencies over health concerns about the plastic used to bind bits of cork glued together. The concern is that chemicals in the binding plastic can leach into wine."
But a closer look at the issue indicates that these agencies are not focused on the corks, there's nothing illegal about them, and safety concerns are unwarranted.
The two agencies allegedly interested in the issue are the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The chemical in question, toluene diisocyanate or TDI, Wine Industry Insight notes, is "listed as a potential carcinogen" with the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the National Toxicology Program (NTP).
This sounds scary, but there are many reasons why no one should be alarmed about the closures or the chemical involved. But before going into that, we should be clear as to what the agencies are doing in regard to the corks.
According to an EPA press release, the agency has proposed a rule that would require manufactures to notify the agency if a consumer product they are making will contain more than 0.1 percent of TDI by weight. The EPA does not mention scrutiny of corks that may contain TDI. It's very possible that these corks don't contain that much TDI and would not even be subject to this proposed rule.
Nor is the FDA really scrutinizing the issue. Instead, the agency received letter from an outside party asking questions about related FDA law. Wine Industry Insight has posted a link to a letter from the FDA responding to that party, but the name of the party asking questions is either blanked out or never included. But Wine Industry Insight points out that it was an association that represents competitors of agglomerated cork producers—a synthetic cork association—who filed the petition. It notes:
"Competition is fierce for the low-end market which is why a synthetic cork association blew the TDI whistle on agglomerates in a letter to the FDA."
Obviously, competitors have an interest in making this an issue, but FDA isn't taking the bait. FDA has authority to regulate "food additives" that might pose a threat to public health and that includes chemicals that might migrate from packaging into food. In its cryptic, bureaucratically written letter, FDA is basically indicating that they have data showing there is no detectable migration of TDI into the wine for the closures currently on the market. Otherwise, they'd be regulating now, but they're not.
So much for "federal scrutiny." There really isn't much because there's no good reason for it.
No Sprinkles in Obama's America: Trans Fat, Hyperbole, and the Threat Nobody Is Talking aboutFebruary 5, 2015 7:59 AM
"Say goodbye to your favorite sprinkled doughnuts," warned Clayton Morris, guest host on Fox & Friends. "The [FDA] is now regulating Americans intake of trans fat…the amount needed to make something as small as a sprinkle on your doughnut may be banned." Morris is referring to the decision announced by the Food and Drug Administration in 2013 to reclassify partially hydrogenated oils—revoking its status as "generally recognized as safe" and creating a de facto ban on the artificial trans fat found in the oils. Fox's overwrought presentation of the issue led many observers to ridicule the segment as well as opposition to the FDA action. The ribbing is warranted; discussion on both sides of the debate has overwhelmingly relied on emotional arguments and hyperbole. As a result, most people aren't talking about the real threat this FDA action poses.
"Only Vladimir Putin would deny American children—and adults that need to rethink their dietary life choices—their God-given right to ingest sugar in whatever form they deem fit," Elliot Hannon at Slate joked. "Your doughnuts are safe from Obama's grasp" wrote Steve Benen at MSNBC. And Cenk Uygur dedicated almost seven minutes of his show, The Young Turks, to myth-busting/ridiculing the Fox segment. Uygur's response included all of the primary arguments made by those who support an FDA trans fat ban and demonstrated how useless the Fox & Friends-style argument is.
Uygur takes all of the points made by Morris and shows why it is actually an argument for why trans fat ought to be banned. So what that Americans have almost completely eliminated trans fat from their diets already? "It was the FDA effort to eliminate trans fat in the first place that almost solved the problem and now they're trying to solve it completely," he asserts. Almost completely isn't good enough; according to Uygur and the FDA, trans fat consumption is still responsible for a certain number of deaths so it is completely appropriate for the FDA to act to stop these preventable deaths. "Heart attacks, that's what the right wing calls freedom," he jokes. He is similarly unmoved by the argument that most food companies have voluntarily removed trans fat from their products. In fact, he points to this as a refutation of the idea that sprinkles or any other food will be taken off the market if trans fat is reclassified. "Nobody is banning any of these foods. It's a total lie," he says.
Uygur is right. Well, at least partially. FDA action in 2003 requiring manufacturers to list trans fat on nutritional labels did contribute to a reduction in consumption. Of course, it was also pressure from public health advocates and consumers' demand for healthier products that resulted in the drop: from 4.6 grams a day in 2003 to around 1 gram a day in 2012. It's worth noting, however, that the public health advocates crying out against trans fat now were the same ones who promoted the use of trans fat by vilifying saturated fat in the 1980s. Uygur is also right that the FDA isn't banning any particular food: not doughnuts, sprinkles, pie crust; they'll all survive a "trans fat ban." They may need to be reformulated, may taste different, and be more susceptible to spoilage, but most products, if not all, will remain on shelves in some form or another.
Uygur also right when he argues that almost eliminating trans fat from our diet isn't an argument against a complete ban. For instance, claiming that Americans consume next to zero arsenic isn't going convince many people that we should let food companies put arsenic in our food. But this is the part of the discussion missing from both sides: trans fat isn't arsenic and it's not a poison: it's a food. As with any other food or beverage, if you consume it in great enough quantities, there will be negative consequences. But trans fat isn't "harmful"; it is unhealthful, potentially. So, the question is: when is it okay for the FDA to make decisions about what foods or ingredients can or can't be part of a healthful diet. And is that something we want the FDA deciding at all?
New Field Study Confirms Neonicotinoids Have Little Impact on HoneybeesNovember 24, 2014 9:58 AM
As the Ontario provincial government in Canada considers policies that may force farmers to stop using, or drastically reduce use of, a class of pesticides called neonicotinoids, a new study shows why such policies are unlikely to do any good. Supposedly, limiting use of these pesticides will improve honeybee hive health, but such regulations will simply make it harder for farmers to produce an affordable food supply.
The study, which relies on data from actual field conditions, confirms that farmers can protect their crops using these chemicals without harming honeybee hives. Published in PeerJ, it assessed the impact of neonicotinoid-treated canola crops on hives that foraged among these crops in 2012. The researchers found no adverse impacts and very low exposure to the chemicals. The authors report:
Overall, colonies were vigorous during and after the exposure period, and we found no effects of exposure to clothianidin seed-treated canola on any endpoint measures. Bees foraged heavily on the test fields during peak bloom and residue analysis indicated that honey bees were exposed to low levels (0.5–2 ppb) of clothianidin in pollen. Low levels of clothianidin were detected in a few pollen samples collected toward the end of the bloom from control hives, illustrating the difficulty of conducting a perfectly controlled field study with free-ranging honey bees in agricultural landscapes. Overwintering success did not differ significantly between treatment and control hives, and was similar to overwintering colony loss rates reported for the winter of 2012–2013 for beekeepers in Ontario and Canada. Our results suggest that exposure to canola grown from seed treated with clothianidin poses low risk to honey bees.
Despite all the media hype about how these chemicals harm honeybees, these findings are not surprising. Research condemning these chemicals has tended to focus on lab studies that overdose bees to see if pesticides affect hive health. But those studies have little relevance to real-life exposure to these chemicals in the field. The U.S. Agricultural Research Service's Kim Kaplan explains that such studies have "relied on large, unrealistic doses and gave bees no other choice for pollen, and therefore did not reflect risk to honey bees under real world conditions."
Soda Makes You Old and Other "Data Mined" MythsOctober 31, 2014 2:18 PM
"'If you torture your data long enough, they will tell you whatever you want to hear.' Dr. James Mills noted in a 1993 New England Journal of Medicine article. "In plain English, this means that study data, if manipulated in enough different ways can prove whatever the investigator wants to prove."
Indeed, such "data torturing" is responsible for a recent junk science study that claims drinking soda will age your cells, which makes it as dangerous as smoking. But these findings reflect clever manipulation of data—and nothing more.
Regarding the soda study, columnist Daniel Engber points out in Slate: "The newly published paper delivers a mishmash of suspect stats and overbroad conclusions, marshaled to advance a theory that's both unsupported by the data and somewhat at odds with existing research in the field." Engber goes on to detail how these researchers worked and reworked the data to get their desired result.
Unfortunately, such data mining is all too common. In many cases, researchers don't even have to work that hard. Rather than using a truly random sample, their "data mining" may simply involve excluding certain participants as "outliers" or pulling out select data subsets from a larger database. In that case, the sample may reflect the researcher's bias instead of constituting a truly random sample.
For example, many studies on the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) rely on data mined from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) program that assesses national health trends. CDC collects health data from a different group of volunteers every year via physical exams and interviews. In addition to recording the volunteers' health ailments, the data also include measurements of BPA in urine and blood. NHANS is a treasure trove for researches who want to cherry pick subsets of data to produce spurious correlations that they can market as meaningful findings.

Whats your dream bike(s)?
There was already a thread about what you own-
What would be your dream bike(s)?
for me-
I'd need an older cafe-racer/rat bike for around town fun
Kawi ZX-14 - for touring, and maybe a second for drag racing
Suzi GSX-R 750 - dedicated track bike
KTM motard - Deals Gap weapon / wheelie machine
???- dual sport, every garage needs at least one
Ducati 999R because its sexy and italian.
now if i was buying one to put in my living room as a show piece- hands down Bimota Tesi 2D. It would make nice addition to any room and be quite the conversation piece.
My current dream bike is one that I now own...a Suzuki S50 or 800cc Boulevard...(used to be Intruder). It's awfully plain and simple... I can't carry a soda pop can on it if I wanted to...only can slide a few letters under the seat and drive to the post office, is all. Yet it's my beginner bike --150 miles of experience, is all I have.
The oldest BMW I could lay my hands on (as long as it's not a post-war single).
If I had unlimited resources and a garage to hold 'em all:
BMW R69US with or without sidecar or any /2
GL1500 with a fresh rebuild and Metzeler tires
Road King with FI and hard bags
Yamaha TW200 (for after the earthquake)
Maybe a BMW K75S
I have had seven bikes in my life. At the time, each one was my dream bike. They each were my dream bike because each one got me out on the road and riding. My last bike was a Suzuki Calvacade 1400. Now I want something smaller. I am watching an auction on eBay for a '93 Honda Nighthawk 750. Also went by the motorcycle place today and scoped out a Ninja 250. I would be satified with either bike. It's just a matter of paying for one right now. At this stage in my life, I try to pay cash for all that I buy. Sometimes I have to save up....
Gosh. From a Cavalcade 1400 to a Ninja 250 is quite a change.
I never rode the Cavalcade (or the Yamaha Venture). The Cavalcade seemed to me at the time to be one of the better integrated full-size touring rigs. I did have a Kawasaki Voyager XII for a couple of years. It was a lemon.
I am very sad to say that my current bike is *not* my dream bike. It's a GL1800... the first brand new motorcycle I've ever purchased. I am not impressed. It seems like a step backward from the 1500, at least in carrying capacity, functionality, and reliability.
The best bike I ever owned was my GL1500. I would buy a new GL1500 in a heartbeat.
But my true dreambike is an old, old, old BMW. The older the better.
Yes, but some of the changes will be positive. That 800 lbs Cavalcade was always right at my limits of what I could lift if I dropped it. Which did occur twice. The only big difference that I feel between the bikes are the spacing across the handle bars. The Ninja will be cheap enough that I can afford two bikes. I will keep on the look out for a mid size cruiser. I no longer feel that I must have just one bike at at time.
Blue Faries- 150 miles?! i'll put on 300+ miles in an afternoon! (on a 250cc 20 peak horsepower bike no less) You gotta get out and ride more!
endorphine, i ride a ninjette 250. its a sweet little bike. could it be better? yes. could it be better and still cost $3500 out-the-door brand new? no. fun around town bike and as soon as i get those leathers with the knee pucks it'll be a weapon at my favorite twisties as well. (right now i scrape hard parts in a few turns and that scares me a bit) good luck on your quest for one, and if you get it, dont be afraid to twist that throttle- they dont come alive below about 9500rpms.
My dream bike would be an adventure tour/dual sport -- specs:
less than 350 lbs. wet
wide long flat seat
4+ gallon tank with flat top to hold tank bag
WIDE ratio 6-speed, with a rock-crawling first and OD 6th
integrated rack with luggage friendly turn signals and side guards
Those are the essentials. I'd also prefer hydraulic self-adjusting valves, a front fender mounted low enough to actually keep mud off the engine, and maybe even a shaft drive or fully enclosed chain. An alternative to a true wide ratio six speed would be a high-low range primary drive, like early Honda Trail 90's or the Kawasaki Trail Boss.
Currently nothing even comes close. Kawasaki's KLR650 is ridiculously heavy, and it's 5-speed is particularly narrow range. Suzuki's DR650 is impossible to ride slow with it's combination of light flywheel and high first gear.
Manufacturers design dual sports to look a certain way and be cheap to produce. Sadly, the big ones are now just tall single cylinder street bikes with uncomfortable seats. The technology is there to do it right, and I believe if anyone ever gave it a try they could own a steady niche market.
I agree about the relative lack of good dual-sports, but what about a Suzuki DRZ400? It's a dirt bike with lights, and seems to meet all your criteria except shaft drive. They also make a supermoto version if you spend more time on the street than the dirt.
I have a DR650 and love it. Changing gear ratios is a relatively easy job, so that shouldn't hold you back. It is a little heavy for trail riding, but it gets the job done. Neither the DR nor the DRZ (nor the KLR, for that matter) are the best on the freeway, however. Gotta compromise somewhere, I guess.
Actually, I wish Honda still made the Trail 90 or 110. Still the best thing for exploring in the mountains. My cousin has a couple that we bomb around on, both more than 40 years old. Go all day and use only a gallon or less. Super easy to work on, too. Wish I had one.
Matt, I've never ridden the DR400, but my brother has the 650. With standard gearing, it's a great street bike and a white knuckle terror off road. Gear it down, and it buzzes on the freeway. And even then, it's way too easy to kill in tight going - not enough flywheel. That's why the wide ratio six speed is such a big deal to me. Any current dual sport would be more versatile with another gear and a wider spread. To me, that's the most critical need.
However, if you want to actually go anywhere, like Alaska or Colorado or Baja, you need to carry some gear and you need some way to perform maintenance, and so far only KTM and BMW take those needs seriously.
If I had a fabrication skills I would design a suicide center stand -- a skid plate with a removable pin in front that would rotate on a rear hinge and double as a center stand. I'm sure no manufactuer would touch it for liability reasons, but it could certainly be made to work nicely without the weight and ground clearance concerns of conventional center stands. Just the thing for the car wash after 75 miles of axle deep mud on the Cassiar.
I just thought of another. I would love to have an Aprilia Moto 6.5. They aren't available in the U.S. I think it is one of the coolest looking bikes ever made. Similar to the BMW F650, but much swoopier. I think it would make an awesome commuter.
I have only seen two in person: one in London, parked outside Spitalfields Market, and the other in the "Art of the Motorcycle" exhibit. This second one was imported to the U.S. by a fellow in San Francisco. I don't remember if it was licensed for street use.
I want one...
Here is a link that might be useful: Aprilia Moto 6.5
Last fall I had to decide if I was going to rebuild my 1971 BMW R75 or buy a new bike.
I use it for transportation. I like the fact that it is easy to work on, good on gas, well made, and is a tall bike so I can see what is what.
Also I am used to it and it is forgiving and easy to flick around.
Well, what is the second bike I would like in my garage?
Here is a link that might be useful: Motorpickle II
What I'd like is a Big Pussy...
Long wheelbase, so you're not thrown around, sit-up and beg bars like a SuperCub, single cylinder air cooled 600cc (no worrying about the cooling system and in the lower insurance bracket), DOHC with 4 valves (fuel economy and performance), monoshock (we don't use girder forks anymore, why have swingarm suspension), manual clutch and 5 speed gearbox (I don't want to spend my whole life changing gears).
An easy-to-own bike that should be able to stay on a ton all day.

About Deniliquin
Known as the ute capital of the world, Deniliquin is situated in Country NSW on a tributary of the Murray River, 750 km south-west of Sydney. The town holds The Guinness Book of Records world title for the most utes mustered in one place and continues to break its record each year. The annual Ute Muster Play on the Plains Festival in October is a fun-packed local event not to be missed.
The Ute Muster site is also used for the town's other major cultural event, the Deni Blues and Roots Festival, held over the Easter Weekend in April. Thousands of music lovers descend on the town for the two-day festival which takes world class music to inland Australia. The event features an eclectic range of music from folk, funk and soul to psychedelic rock and rhythm and blues. Iconic musicians to have graced the Deni stage include Santana, John Mayer, Chris Isaak, Elvis Costello & The Imposters and the Steve Miller Band.
Deniliquin is at the centre of Riverina sheep-station country and on the fringe of one of the world's largest red gum forests, where birds and wildlife abound in the Barmah Wetlands. A network of forest trails offers bushwalking, camping, biking and birdwatching.
The Deniliquin area is rich in history and heritage, and there are several landmarks to see. You'll also find wineries and restaurants in the region that demonstrate why it's such a popular food and wine destination. If you prefer simpler, earthy snacking, try the Bush Tucker Trail in Jerilderie. There are some very pretty accommodation options to choose from in town.

Hi Winnie! I'm glad you like this mold. To help get rid of those bubbles, you can spray it with alcohol beforehand to break bubbles, and tap the mold several times on your table after your soap is poured. You can also pour your soap slowly down one side of the mold. To make sure the soap gets in all the details, you'll want your melt and pour soap to be very warm. if you're doing cold process, pouring at light trace helps.

Sen. Inouye of Hawaii dies at 88
Iconic Sen. Daniel Inouye, a Democrat who represented Hawaii on Capitol Hill since it became a state in 1959, died at 5:01 p.m. Monday at the age of 88 at Walter Reed National Medical Center from respiratory complications.
According to his office, Inouye's last word was "Aloha."
Inouye was a World War II veteran, a medel of honor recipient, Hawaii's senior senator and the Senate's pro tempore. Senate Majortity Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced Inouye's passing on the Senate floor and delivered moving remarks. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., followed with his own reflections about Inoyue's life and career.
The statement released by Inouye's office indicated that someone recently asked the ailing senator to sum up his career.
"I represented the people of Hawaii and this nation honestly and to the best of my ability," he responded. "I think I did OK."

No tricks up my sleeve
Original post made by Sierra Rhodes, Pleasanton Valley, on May 29, 2013
One of my favorite parts about being a child was the birthday party magician. I regularly attended birthday parties prominently featuring magicians, and to prove the faith I had in them and their magical ways, I would systematically go through all of their belongings and find the methods to their supposed "magic." Needless to say I was not their favorite audience member.
This video I post today, however, is a reminder of why it's good to believe in magic, and how things like a cup and ball can be marvelous and hilarious with some simple--what the heck, magical--sleight of hand.

On Budget Issues, Pentagon's Rhetoric Is Challenged
The budget battles in Washington have inspired the need for some verbal gymnastics that have challenged even the most adept doublespeakers at the Pentagon. As one member of the House pointed out today, some Pentagonians have insisted that Congress cannot cut a single additional dollar from defense, without endangering the national defense strategy.
But then, when the military is tasked with planning an attack on Syria, officials insist they are ready when the White House gives the order. Perhaps that is because it is not part of the military mentality to decline a mission. Or perhaps it is because the military's budget is so gargantuan, even the military's top brass do not know how rich they are.
In a House Armed Services Committee hearing today, Marine Commandant James Amos told lawmakers, "Your Marines remain a constant hedge against the unexpected," the standard semper fi promise of outstanding performance with whatever equipment they are given.
But at the same time Amos said "tiered readiness is not an option." That means he can't have some Marines trained and ready to fight, and others only half-ready to fight.
Last year the Pentagon said, that automatic budget cuts would seriously undercut defense. But then warfighters went out and found billions in cuts, and were able to reduce civilian furloughs from 22 days down to 6 days. Now, the military faces another year of sequestration, and probably many more years after that. So military chiefs need to somehow pump up the volume, when it's already at 10.

THEATER REVIEW: Lyric's 'Night Music' highlights the show's operatic qualities
Stitching the scenes together is a vocal Greek chorus led by L.A.-based singer Jordan Miller, seen in Cygnet's chamber musical "Bed and Sofa" last year. He's joined by Bryan Balderman, Fran Hartshorn, Shelly Hart Breneman and Lisa Elliott. Joseph Grienenberger serves as musical director and Pam Stompoly-Ericson's costumes are elegantly old world.
Director Montgomery also designed the show's minimalist scenery, a painted backdrop of a birchwood forest lit by Stephen Terry with an orange-y glow to simulate Sweden's never-setting summer sun.
Natker's lush 24-piece orchestra sounds great in the Birch North Park Theatre. It's a rare treat to hear an orchestra that big in a San Diego theater production.
"A Little Night Music"
When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday; 2:30 p.m. Sunday
Where: Lyric Opera San Diego at the Birch North Park Theatre, 2891 University Ave., San Diego
Tickets: $32-$52, general; children 17 and under are half-price

The item itself is fine but needs some more adjustments to balance it out and make it more reasonable on AD casters and less reasonable on AD carries.
I want to make some suggestions and insist you give it some thought.
Bottom line is they need to reduce the armor pen or make it a unique passive. Right now, the best build on a lot of bruisers is something like Boots/(TF or BT or GA)/4 Black Cleavers, without any exaggeration. I think the idea behind the item is great, since AD casters really didn't have an item specialized for their needs, when you can stack 80 flat Armor pen and then get even more from the passive... yikes.

That's 17 points set up by Manning, which should have been 21, and prevented the result from being the predicted blowout.
Kickoff coverage will give New England coach Bill Belichick a strong coaching point this week as the Patriots prepare for the Ravens – not that he really needs one.
Other than that Manning effort, it was pretty much the same misfiring Texans outfit that closed the regular season with three losses in its final four games, including a 42-14 blowout at New England on Dec. 16.
Even after that visit, the Texans still had a great chance to finish with a better record than the Patriots, and have Sunday's game played at Reliant Stadium.
But Houston lost at home to Minnesota and on the road to Indianapolis, forcing the Texans to play in the Wild Card round last week, then head to Massachusetts again.
Beating Cincinnati in the first round plus a 12-4 regular season probably buys Kubiak another year, in light of the early loss of Brian Cushing. But some changes need to be made by the Texans for 2013.

Dorkbot PDX would like to welcome you to the latest installment of our semi-regular presentation series:
What's happening? Two great and inspiring talks!
The LAMOSO (LAsar/MOtion/SOund) is a MIDI controller; that is, it's a device that sends MIDI to my computer. MIDI is a standard music protocol that allows electronic musical instruments (e.g., the LAMOSO) and computers to communicate with each other. It's not audio - it's digital data that includes values for pitch, length, volume, etc.
So... the LAMOSO uses lasers and photogates to send signals to a computer, which then turns that data into sound.
The lasers hit (or don't hit) photogates. The photogates connect to a Teensy++, a "microcontroller development system" (it's the computer chip thingy in the pictures), and that sends my computer data about whether there is or is not a laser beam light hitting the photogate. Max, a music programming language, is used to interpret that data into music.
Visually and musically, what this means is that there's lasers crisscrossing an area, and when those lasers are broken, it changes the music.
Jeremy Rotsztain writes software to generate digital images that closely resemble
paintings. Instead of working with paints and pigments, he prefers to use digital materials. He collects popular images from the Internet and iconic scenes from Hollywood films -- and uses their pixels and sounds to generate entirely new
Jeremy will be presenting and discussing two recent works:
1) "Obsessions" (prints made from photos of adorable pets)
2) "Action Painting" (abstract expressionist animations made from high octane car chases, violent punches, fiery gun shots, and sublime explosions).
An open-mic session for those looking to show off a project, ask a question, solicit help, or incite collaboration.
This is a ARM LPC1343 development board with a nice 132x162 16 bit color TFT LCD display, a microSD card, USB and LiPo recharging. I used it as a name badge at the San Mateo Maker Faire this year.
I've recorded today's solar eclipse with a CdS photocell tapped to my shop window. The voltage divider feeding Teensy's ADC favors dim light so I'm actually surprised to have seen the event. Clouds have got to be pretty dark to show up. The eclipse was darker.
The data shows totality at 6:15 pm. I sample at five minute intervals.
Kudos to Don Park who suggested I take a look at this. I'm wishing I'd tuned the sensor up to get more and better data. When's the next eclipse?
Last week I wrote firmware to control el wires by MIDI.
Hand-Eye Supply will be using it for their float in this year's Starlight Parade.
"Read more" for details....
The IDEA is this:
taking an 8x8 LED Matrix... having it display a letter in a 5x5 section of the display(top left corner lets say) then displaying below it the corresponding Morse-code - . - where 2 leds == a dash, 1 led == a dot, and then a blank led to separate each dash/dot... then hooking up a small speaker to out put the Morse-code audibly...and scroll through the alphabet and digits 0-9 prefer using a Teensy as it would make a nice smallish package :)
Really just need help with how to write the sketch to display the different parts together all at once...
Scott tested and programmed my hand-soldered Bus Pirate at the meetup last Monday. Apparently it works. Not sure when I'll actually use it, but nice to know it'll be ready to go....
Just wanted to post a high quality photo of the Bus Pirate board, Dorkbot PDX version.
Thanks Greg, Scott, Jim, Monty, Jared, and everyone else who had a hand in making this happen! :-)
I delivered some Bus Pirate kits at the last DorkbotPDX meeting and I'm about to ship the kits to those that mail-ordered them. So I figured you might find some instructions helpful.
Thanks to Russel for this awesome battery, and of course Elco Jacobs for writing ShiftMatrixPWM.
I went to the DorkbotPDX Open Lab today (Feb 26th, 2012) at ADX and sat down to play with the Kinect I got a while ago. The result is a "Cat Sequencer" that uses the Kinect to trigger samples. There are two looping samples and one non looping sample. The trigger areas for the samples have been placed around the plates. They are visible on the computer as cubes. The more solid the cubes the more filled the trigger area is. Once the trigger is filled enough, it plays a sample. Read on for more details and code.

Casual and Comfortable
holly from Westport, MA– Verified Buyer
I ordered these chairs for our lake house. They are very comfortable, stable, and if someone sit in them in a wet bathing suit, no problem!
modern swivel chair
Tonna from sarasota, FL– Verified Buyer
although attractive - I opted for the rattan rather than resin chair and it may be a mistake as the rattan is quite fragile. The company graciously replaced one as the first was damaged while packaging took place. The arms of the chair are not very comfortable and outside of how beautiful it is it is probably not a good choice if you really want to use a chair.
Great seating
Kathleen from Studio City, CA– Verified Buyer
Absolutely love these chairs. Perfect size and extremely comfortable, plus so easy to put together.
great look
Dawn from Boca raton, FL– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
modern, natural feel. the rattan and chrome are a great contrast. Hi style chair for a low price
Tim from Westport, CT– Verified Buyer– Top 50 Reviewer
this is a great chair - very comfortable and stable
Uncomfortable; base bends eventually
Mike from Los Angeles
It is too flexible and the base eventually becomes loose and the chair tilts far forward, then becomes wobbly if you force it backwards into position. The low back (without a cushion) also makes it uncomfortable. They look nice but aren't worth even $50.

Rick Ross Is Suing LMFAO

Rick Ross and the two-man production team the Runners are suing pop outfit LMFAO for copyright infringement, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The dispute focuses on LMFAO's 2010 hit "Party Rock Anthem" and the phrase "Everyday I'm shufflin'," which the suit alleges is infringement on Ross' 2006 hit "Hustlin'".
"'Everyday I'm shufflin'...' in 'Party Rock Anthem' is performed in a manner to sound like 'Everyday I'm hustlin'...' in 'Hustlin'' is a prominent hook of 'Party Rock Anthem' and is an obvious attempt to capitalize on the fame and success of 'Hustlin''," the suit reads.

"Freeway" Ross sued the rapper (born William Leonard Roberts) in 2010 for appropriating his name and likeness. Now, an appeals court has dismissed the trial on First Amendment grounds, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Thus, Rick Ross is still Rick Ross.
