I understand,good luck.
I'm talking to the needle in the haystack ;-]
With all due respect,you are wasting you`re time.Never attempt to teach these people,a thing.They are unreachable.They actually cannot think,just toy with them.
It is in fact appropriately applied to Bush`s spending,and even more so to Obama`s spending,as he has spent more than Bush,and several Presidents before.Is n`t that a fact? You assumed that"time travel"was in play?You are boring me.
No I didn't, see now you are assuming, since the claim is baseless. I assumed you were from the past talking about Bush's very expensive two front war. Nothing in my statement said you agreed with Bush or the war.
All jokes aside – Through satire, I was merely pointing out that your statement about "irresponsible spending" is more appropriately applied to Bush's presidency.
And you were presuming,that I agreed with attacking two nations`in pursuit of Al-Qaeda,and ,that I am a Bush fan.
I don't think you know what that word means: A presumption is more authoritative than an assumption. To presume is to make an informed guess based on reasonable evidence; to assume is to make a guess based on little or no evidence.
But I can't say I'm surprised by you response. Your first reply made no sense – I was clearly joking. Then when I point that out – you reply "The rest of of that is just shit,and it bores me."
Well your mindless banter bores me, so let's talk – what did I "presume"
No,I meant"presuming".The rest of of that is just shit,and it bores me.
You are right I was satirically "presuming all over the god damned place" when I quoted you and asked if you were from 2004 and talking about George Bush….
Ps – I think you mean assume vs presume, the latter being a conclusion based on some authority. I was assuming when I asked if you were from the past sent to the future to comment on this youtube video, as sadly we have no evidence of time travel.
This is why I can`t communicate with most of you. You begin with presuming,all over the god damned place.
"Spending imaginary money is the very worst thing that can be done in an economy….hat narcissistic child,is going to destroy the economy,and you along with it."
Are you posting from 2004…about Bush? How much did the two front war cost us?
Questions –
What crimes against the American people?
Why is Obama a fraud?
I mean you are defending the man whose state was one of the lowest for job creation & helped lay the groundwork for "Obamacare". You just come off slightly bias and ignorant – so I thought I'd afford you the chance to explain yourself.
ok who let the inbred troll out of the basement?
Hey guys, The Lord of the Fries uses children for her own promotion. So google YoungObamaHaters and order the most badass anti Obama shirts and beer koozies

dc.description.abstract | In Trinidad, West Indies, wasps matching the description of Mischocyttarus alfkenii build two readily distinguishable nest forms, differing both in architecture (excentric versus centric petiole) and colour (yellowish grey-brown versus reddish medium brown). Analysis of two mitochondrial genes (16S and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, COI) in excentric- and centric-form M. 'alfkenii' consistently segregates individuals from the two nest forms, with genetic divergences comparable with those observed among other species in the genus. Geometric morphometric analysis of wing venation likewise recovers consistent differences between nest forms. Integrating behavioural, genetic and morphometric evidence corroborates the hypothesis that the two nest forms correspond to distinct species of recent common ancestry. Notes accompanying the description of M. alfkenii indicate that the name belongs to the species in which the nest has an excentric petiole and paler carton. The other species is described as Mischocyttarus baconi | en_US |

Conservation Federation director strives to rally the troops, fight apathy
Brandon Butler, the newly named executive director of the Conservation Federation of Missouri, has no trouble identifying the biggest problem facing outdoors organizations such as his.
"Things have been so good so long here in Missouri, the sportsmen expect the Department of Conservation to always be there for them," Butler said. "But they don't realize that the Department of Conservation is constantly under attack these days.
"The Department of Conservation needs the sportsmen to get behind them and show their support."
Butler is out to rally that support. As the head of the largest and most representative conservation group in Missouri, his organization has 80 clubs and more than 85,000 members. But Butler thinks there is room for growth.
"These challenges are nothing new," Butler said. "But I think in the past, people were more engaged. There are so many different organizations now, I think we're more segmented.
"The Conservation Federation has to pull these different interests together and provide a united front."
Butler is planning an affiliate summit in August as a first step toward finding that common ground among conservation groups. Meanwhile, he has been active in soliciting help from the public in supporting conservation issues.
Butler, who worked in recent years as an outdoors writer, has a background in conservation management. He holds a bachelor's degree in organizational leadership from Purdue and a master's in organizational leadership from Gonzaga.
He has worked for conservation agencies in other states, and has been a leading voice for conservation through his outdoor writing.
Butler strengthened his organization when he recently hired Rehan Nana to be his deputy director. Nana recently served with Pheasants Forever, a national conservation organization, and has made a name for himself for his conservation work.
Butler and Nana have been touring the state in recent days, meeting with conservation groups to determine issues that they give the most priority.
"We're trying to get people more involved," Butler said. "These are different times, and we can't have people sit back and wait for someone else to take the lead.
"We have to put up a united front."

for item
Round 8 1/2 inch serving bowl by Homer Laughlin in Eggshell Nautilus. There does not seem to be a formal name for this pattern. It is similar to several other HL patterns, but for identifying purposes it is marked as N1642 in gold. It is also date backstamped as A 42 N 5. There are no chips, cracks or breaks, but has minor wear to the gold trim as well as light utensil wear. I will be happy to provide more detailed photos upon request. I need your zip code to calculate the postage.

A recent study in Rostock, Germany determined that the greater the age gap between you and your husband, the lower your life expectancy. It doesn't matter whether you are older or younger than him—you don't want a gap. It's best for you to marry someone exactly the same age. An older dude will shorten your life and a younger one will really shorten it.
Of course, for men? The younger the better. A man lives a lot longer when his wife is younger, and he dies sooner when he is the younger spouse.
A few stats, in case you don't like reading charts:
- If you marry a man 7-9 years younger, your mortality risk goes up 20 percent!
- If a guy marries a woman 7-9 years younger, his mortality risk goes down 11 percent!
- Studies show that women mostly prefer men their age, but most marry older.
- On average in the U.S., husbands are 2.3 years older than their wives.
Only men—and not women—benefit psychologically and socially from a younger spouse. Why? "On average, men have fewer and lesser quality social contacts than those of women," says study author Sven Drefahl. So a woman with a younger husband isn't going to benefit from her jailbait husband taking her to the seniors' center; she already has friends for that, but an old man doesn't. And a younger partner shortens a woman's life why now? "One of the few possible explanations is that couples with younger husbands violate social norms and thus suffer from social sanctions," says Drefahl.
So an older guy is a total drag and a younger guy provides the stress of being different to society and of you having to deal with an idiot, which leads to bad health and death. Happy Friday.
What's the age gap in your relationship? Are you married?

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will investigate free fatty acid and VLDL-TG metabolism before and during exercise with and without pharmacological antilipolysis by the niacin antagonist Acipimox. Main focuses will be VLDL-TG and free fatty acid metabolism as well as expression of membrane proteins in fat- and muscle biopsies.

Drug: Acipimox |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator) Primary Purpose: Basic Science |
Official Title: | Effect of Pharmacological Anti-lipolysis on FFA and VLDL-TG Metabolism Before and During Exercise |
- Effects of exercise and antilipolysis on FFA and VLDL-TG kinetics [ Time Frame: 6 hour investigation day ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Healthy untrained men, investigated with pharmacological antilipolysis by Acipimox (Olbetam) and placebo on 2 occasions. Each day consists of 3 hour basal period and 90 minutes exercise on a bicycle at 60% of VO2-maximum. During the day glucose and lipid metabolism is investigated by glucose and VLDL tracer, as well as indirect calorimetrics. Cellular signaling is investigated by 2 muscle- and 2 fat biopsies each day.
Enrollment: | 9 |
Study Start Date: | April 2011 |
Study Completion Date: | September 2012 |
Primary Completion Date: | September 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: Acipimox
Tablet Acipimox 250 mg administered 4 times previous to and during the investigation day
Drug: Acipimox
Tablet Acipimox 250 mg administered 4 times previous to and during the investigation day
No Intervention: Placebo
Placebo tablets will be administered 4 times previous to and during the investigation day
Detailed Description:
Insulin resistance in liver and skeletal muscle is of central pathogenic significance in the development of type 2 diabetes. The molecular connections are unresolved but high levels of free fatty acids and triglyceride is probably involved. Diabetic subjects and to a lesser extent obese subjects have increased triglyceride levels, this could be due to an abnormal turnover of VLDL-TG. It is not yet investigated whether VLDL-TG kinetics changes during pharmacological antilipolysis. Using the aseptic ex-vivo labeling technique (developed in our laboratories) we will investigate this issue in sedentary healthy men. After a 3 hour basal period subjects will exercise on a bike for 60 minutes at 60% of VO2max. In both basal and exercise period one muscle and one fat biopsy will be obtained, further blood samples will be drawn to examine FFA and VLDL-TG metabolism etc..
This new knowledge will contribute to the understanding of metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Mildura, Bourke, Broken Hill along the Darling River - Oz
Kath and I's short trip through VIC high country, on a TW200 and Super Sherpa.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10...ps4a4329fd.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10...ps39fe4274.jpg http://www.advrider.com/forums/showt...5#post20502795 |
Mildura, Bourke, Broken Hill along the Darling River
After making lots of trips both long and short, a trip along the Darling River was in my sights. Seemed like there would be a lot to see and the planning started early in 2012. After canvassing our usual crew we had acceptances from 9 starters so it was looking good. I was hopeful they would all still be there in early November when we were planning to head off. I was hoping that we might avoid the worst of the hot weather and rain by choosing Nov and largely thats how it worked out!
We had a large range of bikes ranging from our trusty KLR's and DR'/Zs to the more exotic KTM 625 and 690, then through to a GS 800 and the massive 1200 Super Tenere. No plans for anything terribly knarly but the sand could be tricky and if it rained well......... The roads up there turn to shite very quickly. We agreed to meet in Mildura on Saturday 3rd Nov at a caravan park where those of us who trailered would leave the cars and trailers and head off around lunchtime. Ben on the GS has travelled up via Wyperfield and Sunset Country Nat Parks in his kitted out Landcruiser Ute, Dave and Dan had ridden up (real men). When we arrived at the caravan park it looked like the full contingent had made it. A good start! http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps2aeab6c1.jpg Everyone got busy getting the bikes organized and gear stowed. Next stop was the servo to top up fuel and Rotopax containers etc, and grab a bite of lunch. After a few k's of bitumen we hit the sandy road that lead to Mungo National Park and our first nights accommodation at Turlee Station shearers quarters. The road was mostly good, with some deeper sand to keep us on our toes. Everyone soon stopped to lower the tyre pressures to make it a bit more stable. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psa3ca49c0.jpg We set off for Turlee and I pulled up at the turnoff to Mungo/Top Hut and found we had picked up a stray. Mark on his trusty KLR, loaded to the gunnells, had ridden across from Adelaide to catch up with the Top Hut crew but decided to tag along with us for the evening and see if he could catch them in the morning. I suspected they would be off early. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps4854dae7.jpg Mark on the red KLR We soon rolled into Turlee and were very happy with our choice. Nathen and Sophie have done a great job of opening their working farm to visitors and we got set up and tucked into some beverages and started thinking about dinner. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps5fb47757.jpg The sleeping quarters http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps427e37ee.jpg Novel radio check in. Worked a treat. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps5368d8a4.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps3622ad96.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psc7108bcc.jpg The mess hut, complete with full kitchen, jumbo coolroom and a relaxation area. Everyone was up and about early the next morning. Keen to get out to Mungo and explore. We hit the road and we were soon at the rangers station at Mungo and checked out the old Mungo Shearing Shed. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps7557bf98.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps5a36656b.jpg After a look around the shearing shed we headed for the "Walls of China" and then the loop out through Mungo. On the way we frightened the hell out of some Magna driving backpackers as they negotiated the track out the "Walls". The suspension on the old Magna must have been shot at is was rolling around like a boat on the uneven ground and as the nine bikes thundered past the open window they took evasive action. After that short ride we arrived at the Walls of China and it was starting to warm up! http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps99b53093.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psa946cd10.jpg The landscape is very different from anything I have seen before, and its and ancient lake site, with tracks and relics dating back thousands of years. After doing a bit of walking we saddled up again and headed off for the loop around the national park. We expected some sand and narrow tracks and we werent dissappointed. It was a great ride through there, so if you are visiting make sure you do it. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps2bc2289b.jpg Dan and Darren saluting the camera in Mungo National Park http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psb4aaea64.jpg Steve on the DR at Mungo. Theres even a tiny bit of roost coming off the back wheel ....... On the loop we saw a goat trap, built next to a dam, it allows them to get to the water but not out of the trap. They are then trucked away for sale. Very clever. We then reached Vigars Well, an old travellers stop with a natural spring that trickles out of the side of the large dunes. Very surprising to see it there. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psbe9dbbaf.jpg Vigars Well We headed on to Zanci Station, an abandoned farm which still had the remnants of the original operation. By this stage shade was at a premium as it was HOT! http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps17a89b41.jpg My bike in the shade. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps32d658fb.jpg The old stables at Zanci http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps84169990.jpg Not much left of the old homestead! http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps6f304bdd.jpg The old cellar pictured here was nice and cool! http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps6941ff38.jpg Dave with his Super Ten and Micks 625 http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps8e15cdf7.jpg Doug with his DRZ400 After a good look around we came to the conclusion that the settlers here were tough buggers! Our next stop was to be Pooncarie and we set off for Top Hut Rd to get us there. We thought we might see a few other ADVers but they were well gone from Top Hut. The Top Hut Rd was pretty good going, with some patches of sand that were a bit tricky but we made good time and popped out on the bitumen where we said goodbye to Mark who had to hightail it back to Adelaide for some prior commitments. A quick blat down the blacktop had us in Pooncarie in time for lunch and a well earned drink. The pub is a bit of an institution and we enjoyed a good meal and a chat to a few of the drinkers before we braved the heat again and headed for Menindee after a quick look around town We checked into the motel in Menindee in the late afternoon and did some maintenance on the bikes. The dust meant that air cleaners needed regular cleaning! Once we had achieved this we all showered and headed for the pub across the road for a beer and a meal. After a great steak it was back to the accommodation for a quiet Jim Beam and off to sleep. The plan in the morning was to do a big loop through the historic areas around the lakes at Menindee and then to head to Wilcannia and Tilpa. Everyone was up and about early and we hit the road. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psf461b305.jpg Darren getting excited on the 690 on the road between the lakes and the Darling http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps1675b73b.jpg Doug having some fun... Kinchega Woolshed was our first destination and after blasting along the sandy track we arrived there to see some history laid out before us. This shed was one of the biggest in the state and is now about half its original size! It is well preserved and there is lots of old eqiupment dotted around. Worth a visit. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps8c7b5f2c.jpg Steam driven eqiupment was obviously all the rage. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psf8191a45.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps47427681.jpg The woolshed and another steam driven thingy..... http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps3162b8e9.jpg The old woolshed and race. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psec5ea7a5.jpg Ian on the lakes loop http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps3c67573b.jpg Dan on the trusty KLR, followed by Doug and yours truly. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps47950b78.jpg We had a look at an old homestead site. Not much left now. We then headed out to get a good look at the lakes. Another sandy track. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psa27a8c39.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psaacd768c.jpg Great to see the lakes brimming. Nice scenery too. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psd09516cf.jpg Me on the KLR http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps3f676015.jpg Dave with the Super Ten. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps6c8d960e.jpg Mick with the KTM 625 cranked. He's even colour coded. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps45113f07.jpg Steve on the DR http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps0b434c8c.jpg Ben on the 800GS After checking out the lakes we hit the road headed for Wilcannia. These roads were a hoot. Almost dual track, with tight gravel or dry, packed mud meant that the speeds could creep up and we were having a blast. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps3b593c8e.jpg Dan Darren and Ben with the rest of the crew raising some dust.. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps08b0949c.jpg Me kicking up some dust on the KLR http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps7e092b15.jpg Dave and Ian We arrived in Wilcannia in time for lunch although options were a bit limited. We went to the little supermarket and and pub and bought some supplies for our stay in the shearers quarters at Kallara Station just outside Tilpa. A BBQ was planned and we had a good supply of bevvies to keep everyone happy. The town is an odd mix of elegant old buildings built of sandstone and run/burnt down commercial buildings. Glad we werent staying there! Ben took the opportunity to ride across the old wooden bridge over the Darling (it was closed but he has a habit of not noticing the signs. I seem to remember an underpass somewhere too) with a couple of bemused council workers watching on. After a quick bite we headed for Tilpa along the river. After a hour or so we got close to the river and I headed in for a look. Not a lot of water but a nice spot for a break. Dave decided it was too hot and stripped off for a swim while the rest of us had a drink and a break under the trees. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps75fe4f4b.jpg Dave contemplating his swim. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps31f29e4e.jpg Shameless shot of two KLR's on the river bank. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps6ed7eb49.jpg We arrived at the legendary Tilpa pub late in the afternoon and settled in for a couple of beers before we headed for our accommodation. The pub is right on the banks of the Darling and makes a great watering hole after a days riding. Its a great old pub, with walls covered in messages from visitors on every available space. For a donation to the RFDS you can write your own message. We lined the bikes up and refueled for the following days run to Bourke. The farm at Killara was well set up so we unpacked and everyone rushed to claim a bed. The BBQ was duly stoked up and the hosts provided us with ice and a huge esky so the drinks were icy cold:freaky http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psfd6fc804.jpg If you look carefully beyond our gas powered (yes its true) bbq you can see how close to the river we were. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps2eaf80b0.jpg Our accommodation at Kallara Station. Not your average quarters. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps92be2d20.jpg Old cemetery on Killara Station Into the evening we were settling in for our meal and it started raining. With a long distance to the nearest bitumen we were a bit concerned as it got a bit heavy, so we went to bed after a lot of drinks thinking about a potentially slippery day tomorrow. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps025a6901.jpg Rain on the way!! It turned out that we had no cause for alarm as you could barely tell there had been any rain. After a quick breakfast and packing the bikes we were off again to Bourke. This time we were on the north side of the river, a less travelled track and it was great. Lots of wide open spaces, with the odd emu or roo to keep it interesting. The speeds were increasing and the landscape kept changing. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psa665e3da.jpg Taking a break at the intersection that heads into Louth. We didnt go there, planning to do it on the way back on the other side of the river. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps246b536c.jpg After another hour we pulled up in a small forest for a break. This is what I meant about the changing landscape. Another hour saw us pull into Bourke, with the last stretch on bitumen. We quickly found our accommodation, the Port of Bourke Hotel, and checked in. What a deal. $50 each for a bed, dinner and breakfast! Nice locked parking area behind for the bikes. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psef8b948b.jpg Port of Bourke Hotel with our bikes out the front. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps26a4bc78.jpg View over the river in Bourke http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps76e01f9d.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps71375799.jpg The Crossley oil fired Engine and Generator used for power by the pioneers after it had previously been used in Sydney. With plenty of daylight left we decided to head out to the lookout at Mt Oxley, while Dave (who is a lunatic) decided he would go for a run as he was in training for the Perth Ironman! The trip out there was about 40km or so and the first 20 odd was tar. We hit the intersection and started down a long straight dirt road and arrived at the council sign pointing to lookout and took off down that track. We arrived at a gate to find it locked with a chain and about 10 padlocks! WTF!?? We were ready to turn around and head back when Ben decided to check out the gate and this is what he found. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps754c6e38.jpg A couple of jiggles of the pole and it slid out of the ground! We duly replaced it on entering and when we left!! We later found out that you can get a key from the Tourist Information Centre in town but only during office hours, so recommend that if you want to visit yourself. As we climbed the steep road up to the top of the mountain, which was badly eroded by water, and it opened up to a magificent 360 degree view over the surrounding countryside. We all had a wander around and took some photos before heading back to Bourke. Here's a sample of the views. On the way back to Bourke we came across Dave running at a fast pace 12km from town and still headed away from town......... http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...pscb02f6d1.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps96a7a8ff.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps85014f76.jpg Steve and Dan checking the view. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psa2a63c9e.jpg the view from the road up the mountain http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psde24e4b4.jpg We all freshened up and headed down for our evening meal (inlcuded in the price of accommodation at the pub) not sure what to expect. The meal was magnificent. A nice rib eye with baked spud and vegies was my choice washed down with ample quantities of bourbon and coke! We all agreed it was the best value accommodation of the trip. The rooms opened onto the balcony so we could sit out there and catch up on emails, calls to home etc and a quiet drink after we came upstairs from our meal. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psf9c1c8fb.jpg Ben catchin up on emails and sorting digital photos on the pub balcony with Ian, Dan and Mick! We were off the next morning on a planned river cruise on the Jandra paddleboat. A good way to see the river. The trip went both up and downstream and was well worth the price. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps6a78d8eb.jpg The boat had a hitchiker on board. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psbd0a96e5.jpg The banks of the river had some hardy gums, which had sprung into new life with the breaking of the drought. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...pse82b6d9a.jpg There were some signs of the floods in the previous year too! http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psee86e7dd.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps1d1349a6.jpg Lots of birdlife too http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps21792849.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps304527eb.jpg There is a magificent old bridge that used to rise to allow the boats to go underneath. Story goes that the locals saved it by proving to the Government that if they had the money that it would cost to demolish it they could maintain it for many years to come. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps60895771.jpg Our trusty vessel We then headed to Gundabooka National Park, where I had read they had some excellent Aboriginal rock art and some nice views. We had to slab it out there most of the way as there were no dirt roads but we eventually turned off onto some dirt and after another half hour of riding we hit the road into the national park and made our way to the rest area where we would walk into the gorge with the paintings. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps072d494d.jpg The track from the rest area leading to the gorge http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...pse962eb3c.jpg There were some nice views but we didnt have time to climb to the top of the mountain so we headed into the gorge. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps2629bfbe.jpg Doug making his way into the gorge. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps8ad7e38e.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps3df15304.jpg The rock art was well preserved and worth a look. You could see why this place was special to the local indigenous tribe, with fresh water and plenty of shelter, it was like an oasis compared to the surrounding country. After our walk we remounted and headed back out to the main road to make our way south west toward Louth, and then on to the station at Killara again for the night. The guys had a bit of fun on the fantastic smooth red dirt track. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psef2c6025.jpg Doug getting a bit sideways. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps0031c5dc.jpg Regrouping at an intersection where we were heading to Louth. It was starting to look stormy and we were worried about rain. We headed off with fingers crossed. By the time we were halfway back to the river road it started raining and when we reached the bitumen it was pouring and the track was getting decidedly slippery, with that red dirt turning to stickly mud very quickly. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psc4b24c29.jpg Regrouping on the bitumen to decide what to do next! We decided to head back to Bourke and see if we could get some accommodation for the night to see what happend with the rain as the road to Louth wasnt an option, with about 50km of red dirt and mud in between us and the town. We arrived back in Bourke with the rain getting even heavier, eventually turning into a torrential downpour! When we caught up under a verandah in town we realised we had lost one member of the crew. After a bit of searching in the town Simon and I headed out to the river road to see if he hadnt come to grief. After an hour of so we realised he must have headed to Cobar thinking that was the way we ended up going. We headed for Cobar on the bitumen and half way there I got a text saying thats where he was, which was a relief. We had phoned the pub in Cobar and booked motel rooms for the night so all was good. The next morning we went out to the mine site and checked it out. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps0b18ce59.jpg Our home for the night in Cobar. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps9250da1a.jpg The obligatory lineup shot in Cobar! http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps16cdd1d8.jpg A memorial After a quick trip to the local bike shop for some oil and other supplies, we headed for Broken Hill via Wilcannia. Lots of bitumen on this trip as most of the tracks had been closed by the council. We say lots of wildlife including emus and roos, but by far the largest visible population was wild goats. Literally hundreds of them along the roads. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps2347c57f.jpg This one nearly got hit. In Wilcannia we stopped for lunch at a cafe, had a chat to the locals, filled up with fuel and took a few photos. I mentioned the contrasts in the town so here are a few photos that explain it...... http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps4cc3ca86.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps85c7515f.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...pse0fd00f5.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psa1bcbcff.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...pse6c564e5.jpg We arrived in Broken Hill in the late afternoon, and it was still hot. We were booked into the Palace Hotel, famous for being used in Pricilla Queen of the Desert (keep the smart remarks to a minimum folks). It is a beautiful old building which is being slowly renovated. The rooms were small but comfortable, with shared bathroom facilities. The huge balcony was put to good use for a BBQ that night where we feasted on butterflied marinated lamb! Plenty of the amber stuff was flowing too. What a great spot. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps794d9fcd.jpg The Palace Hotel Broken Hill is full of magnificent old buildings and we did a bit of a walk around town to take it all in. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psccbd614c.jpg The Trades Hall, reputedly the scene of many rowdy meetings, but they eventually forced the mining companies to fix the safety issues that lead to many deaths in the mines around the town. The miners memorial on top of the tailings heap lists all of them. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...pse44a1c9e.jpg Simon and Steve at the miners memorial http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps51a83e79.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps757a3929.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps906b226a.jpg The plan for the next day was to head out to the Daydream Mine for a tour and then to Silverton. We had a great breakfast at a little cafe in town and then headed off. The ride to the mine was mostly bitumen for the first bit, but the road in was rough in places with some washouts and creek crossings. When we arrived we booked for the tour and poked around the old mine site taking photos and checking out what must have been incredibly tough living conditions for the early miners. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps5401090e.jpg Some old mining equipment. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps3475d2bd.jpg Some ruins of the old mine. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps4fd3f070.jpg A scene inside the mine. It was very tight in there with the low roof catching my helmet a few times. I was glad I had it on. After the mine tour we headed for Silverton and were rewarded with some of the usual scenes I have viewed on this site so here are a couple http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps306074cb.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps43bdaeda.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps42236db6.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps27d9ce7f.jpg Ben found this beta version of the new KTM adventure bike, built with good ground clearance for the rough tracks and loaded with the latest and most reliable technologies. The long travel suspension in particular should be noted. The large wheels also built for those knarly tracks. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps0813b54a.jpg We did a quick trip north of Silverton after some lunch and a look at the galleries and found this water storage. A nice spot. Back to the hotel for a good meal in the restaurant and getting ourselves ready for the trip home. A few of the guys were getting away super early because they were riding all the way home. The rest of us had a leisurely breakfast and headed off. It was a solid ride on the bitumen to Wentworth where we stopped and checked out where the Murray meets the Darling and as you can see below the Darling is a lot muddier than the Murray! http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psa4b9156b.jpg http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps1a5d6171.jpg Simon, who captured a lot of the bike action shots on his new Canon. After some fish and chips for lunch we arrived at the caravan park and loaded our gear and bikes for home. Thanks to all the guys, including my brother Simon who drove the chuck wagon loaded with drinks and gear, for a great trip and easy company. Looking forward to the next one. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psed740da5.jpg The crew Rear L to R Ian, Dave, Steve, Doug, Ben, Dan, Simon Front L to R Warren, Mark, Darren and Mick |
Awesome report and top photos, thanks for sharing.:clap
Mildura, Bourke, Broken Hill along the Darling River - Oz
looks good
Fantastic report and great images - another bunch of places to add to my travelling list. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback guys. The photo duties were shared between Simon, Ben and myself so there were plenty to pick from! (around 3000 I think)
A great RR Warren.
A great bunch of guys too as the stories go. Thanks for sharing.:clap |
Fantastic trip guys and great report!
What a hoot that trip must have been, glad you all had such great and safe excursion through that area.
Cheers Greg |
It was a lot of fun Greg. The gate episode reminded me of a trip onto the range at Pucka, where we spotted the APC's on the next hill! Good to hear from you. You might be able to make one of these trips sometime?
Thanks for the report, interesting with plenty of relevant pix, well done. On my trips there I have always enjoyed the vast landscape of remote western NSW, it has a beauty all of its own, as long a your not getting bogged or fried!
Hi Nailer,
Thanks. Yes this part of the outback may not have the scale of some other areas in terms of iconic locations but you are right it has its own magic, and plenty to see and do if you do a bit of research before heading off. I am still keen to see more of that part of the state. We treat the weather as a variable to be managed not a hindrance to the trip, and resetting the plan isnt a big deal as long as the crew take it in their stride, and with this group of guys it was no drama. We always try to limit the risk of bad weather by using the historic weather stats over the last 50 years from the BOM and it hasnt caused us to abandon any of our long trips. Usually just minor changes to routes sometimes required. See you on the trail somewhere! Cheers Warren Quote:
Great read! Love it when the truly important details are noted,, IE Bear, Whiskey, or both at the overnight stops... :D
Dave |
Thanks guys
excellent,,,,heading up that way in Aug ,you have given me a few POI to visit cheers Rowdy |
You will have a ball rowdy. Look forward to the the story and pics!

COLUMBIA — If there's one thing drivers learn to dread, it's the left-hand turn — crossing at least two lanes of oncoming traffic, questioning who has the right of way, frustrated when the left-turn arrow flits rapidly to red.
Now, folks at the Missouri Department of Transportation hope turning left will be a little easier with the help of flashing yellow arrows.
Starting in March, MoDOT began putting in new left turn signals at 14 intersections around Columbia, including several on College Avenue. The new signals are being installed after a national study found flashing yellow arrows are easier for drivers to understand. MoDOT has a five-year plan to install the lights at about 100 intersections along state highways within Columbia.
Studies have found the traditional left-turn yield on green can cause crashes because some people don't understand they must yield, said Jason Sommerer, MoDOT senior traffic studies specialist.
"The idea was to get an indication that makes more sense to drivers," he said.
Sommerer said drivers who were confused upon approaching flashing yellow arrows would stop and wait to see what they were supposed to do rather than speed through the light, which was often the case with the green ball system.
Rebecca Geyer was a principle investigator who worked on the 2008 MoDOT study, "Assessment of Driver Recognition of Flashing Yellow Left-Turn Arrows in Missouri."
"It takes a while to get used to them, its's kind of like a roundabout where people are confused at first, but when they watch other people, they can figure it out and realize it's efficient," Geyer said.
The study was conducted in St Louis where a few intersections had been retrofitted with the new turn signals. More than half of respondents answered correctly when asked what to do when making a left turn at a flashing yellow arrow. Even so, the study suggested the new signals be implemented with caution because results showed drivers who had not seen the arrows before answered correctly only 74 percent of the time.
"It's important to note that when the study was conducted the instructional signs on the turn signals weren't in place," Geyer said.
With no sign explaining to drivers how to proceed through the new signals, it followed that drivers would be confused. Sommerer said some drivers even called MoDOT to report that lights were broken when in fact they had just been equipped with the flashing yellow arrows.
Sommerer said MoDOT concluded that explanatory signs are necessary. MoDOT also tried to educate the public.
"We had public meetings to explain the new lights, but not many people attended," Sommerer said.
"They start out confusing, but over time they increase traffic flow," said Mack McCallister, who works at Hampton Inn & Suites at Stadium Boulevard and College Avenue, where there is a yellow arrow light.
Several cities across the nation are using flashing yellow arrows, and many have heard positive feedback. Fayetteville, N.C., has had 20 such signals for about three years, traffic engineer Rusty Thompson said, and it plans to install 20 more.
"We've had an overwhelming positive response," he said. "People have begged to have them installed in other locations."

Scientific Name: | Procambarus horsti | |||
Species Authority: | Hobbs & Means, 1972 | |||
Common Name(s):
Red List Category & Criteria: | Endangered B1ab(iii) ver 3.1 | |||
Year Published: | 2010 | |||
Date Assessed: | 2010-06-01 | |||
Assessor(s): | Crandall, K.A. | |||
Reviewer(s): | Collen, B. & Richman, N. | |||
Contributor(s): | Livingston, F., Livingston, F., Soulsby, A.-M., Batchelor, A., Dyer, E., Whitton, F., Milligan, H.T., Smith, J., Lutz, M.L., De Silva, R., McGuinness, S., Kasthala, G., Jopling, B., Sullivan, K. & Cryer, G. | |||
Justification: Procambarus horsti has been assessed as Endangered under criteria B1ab(iii). This species has an estimated extent of occurrence of 98 km2 and is only known from 2 locations in Marion County, Florida. While both sites fall with national parkland, both tourism and pollution of the freshwater aquifer from neighboroghing pollution sources poses a threat to this species. Further research on the population trends of this species is needed given its restricted range. |
History: |
Range Description: | This species is found in two localities in Jefferson and Leon counties, Florida and possibly in one other, but this is a questionable sighting and yet to be positively confirmed (Hobbs and Means 1972). This species has an estimated extent of occurrence of 98 km2. |
Countries: | Native: United States (Florida) |
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | The Big Blue Spring population of this species may be very large (Hobbs and Means 1972). |
Population Trend: | Unknown |
Habitat and Ecology: | This species is found in subterranean springs (Hobbs and Means 1972). |
Systems: | Freshwater |
Major Threat(s): | The springs in which this species is found, are tourist attractions but swimming is not recommended due to the presence of alligators. Further research is needed on the impact of tourism on these springs (K. Crandall pers. comm. 2009). This species is very likely susceptible to pollution of the groundwater aquifer (NatureServe 2009). |
Conservation Actions: |
This species has been given a NatureServe Global Heritage Status Rank of G1, and was assigned an American Fisheries Society Status of 'endangered' based on its restricted range and ongoing habitat degradation (Taylor et al. 2007, NatureServe 2009). One of the springs in which this species is found is surrounded by a national wildlife refuge. Further research is needed on the population trends. |

Turkey Reinforces 'Hands Off' Policy on Mali
The Turkish foreign ministry has criticized the ongoing French operation in Mali. The public criticism comes as Turkey is increasingly seeing West Africa as a region of interest economically and diplomatically.

 Ankara has been increasing voicing concerns regarding the intervention by French forces against an Islamic insurgency in Mali.

 Northern Mali fell under rebel control after a March military coup in Bamako triggered a Tuareg-led rebel offensive that seized the north and split the West African nation in two.

 Turkish foreign Ministry spokesman Selcuk Unal questions the timing and whether it offers a solution to the situation.

 "We wish to see the situation in Mali to change to a better perspective in the framework of the political will of its people, such as a democratic elections and a free parliament. In that sense we are also not favorable to unilateral action before trying other political methods or other avenues," said Unal.

 The Turkish foreign ministry points out the United Nations Security Council resolution on Mali sanctioned only an African led intervention. Ankara's ambivalence over France's military intervention is part of a growing rivalry between Paris and Ankara over West Africa, according to Semih Idiz, a diplomatic columnist for the Turkish daily Taraf.

 "I think this reflects some of the competition between Turkey and France. Prime Minister Erdogan just a few days before the Mali story broke out was in Niger, blasting at the former colonial power and trying to say that Turkey will not be like that," said Idiz. "There is a scramble for Africa and Turkey is very much part of this. It has opened quite a large number of embassies across Africa. So its clear that Turkey does see itself as a potent power."

 In the past few years Turkey has opened 31 embassies across Africa, including one in Mali in 2010. The Turkish government has declared the continent as an economic priority. Since its initiation of the policy back in 2003 it has more than quadrupled its exports to the continent to more than $10 billion. And, earlier this month, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Gabon, Niger and Senegal. Previously, he headed to Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia and held talks in the Republic of South Africa regarding Turkey's Africa opening.

 Turkish foreign Ministry spokesman Unal says it will pursue its concerns over the situation in Mali through the Organization of Islamic Conference, the OIC."

 "We discussed possible steps to be taken by OIC on Mali; I expect that the issue of Mali will be one of the agenda items to be discussed in the next OIC summit in Cairo," he said.

 Observers point out that with Mali's neighbors supporting France's intervention, Ankara may not find too much support among West African members. But diplomatic columnist Idiz says Ankara is likely to find backing from Arab nations at February's OIC summit.

 "Turkish ambivalence is probably not too different to some Arab countries because of the Islamic dimension in all this," said Idiz. "Given that Mali is a predominantly Islamic country that there is a western intervention all of these factor in to the Islamic sensibilities given, this antipathy in the Islamic world to western countries intervening in Islamic countries, so that is part of it."

 Analysts say Ankara's ambivalence over France's intervention is likely to raise eyebrows among its western allies, all of who are strongly supporting it. But in Turkey's pro government media the question is increasingly being posed why those allies can back an intervention in Mali against an Islamic insurgency, but fail to do so in Syria.<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.voanews.com/content/turkey-reinforces-hands-off-policy-in-mali/1591055.html"/><meta name="syndication-source" content="http://www.voanews.com/content/turkey-reinforces-hands-off-policy-in-mali/1591055.html"/>

Publisher's Description
The book has seven parts that detail the different phases of Chai Lings life. Chai Ling grew up with military parents, two siblings, and her grandmother in Rizhao in the late 1900s. She became a key student leader in the Tiananmen Square massacre while attending Beijing University. After the massacre, she and her husband fled China for the United States. She later divorced and graduated from two Ivy League universities. At Jenzabar, Inc., she met her current husband, Bob Maginn. In addition to leading the students in Tiananmen Square from April to June 1989, she earned a BA in psychology from Beijing University, an MPA in Public Affairs and International Relations from Princeton University, and an MBA from Harvard Business School. She founded Jenzabar, Inc., an online university portal, and All Girls Allowed, which advocates Chinese womens rights and aims to end Chinas one-child policy.
Chai Ling conveys her desire for Chinas freedom from communism, as well as her own quest for freedom from unnecessary guilt, especially from the guilt of four forced abortions. The abortions were forced because Chinese women are required to have a birth permit to have a baby. Such permits are not given to unmarried women or women under twenty-five; Chai Ling met neither of those criteria. She also describes her battle with survivors guilt after the Tiananmen Square massacre. Chai Ling later realized that she and her fellow students had failed to bring freedom and justice to China (p. 325) because they had relied on human strength instead of Gods strength. She says, God used the Tiananmen events to save me and free me. He used everything that happened afterward so I could see Im completely helpless unless I trust and rely only on him (p. 326).
I recommend this book to all who enjoy history, biographies, or both. Chai Ling tells her story well, giving readers a deep, truthful account of her life. Though she did not always know Jesus, Chai Ling now truly lives out Philippians 4:13: For I can do everything through Christ, who strengthens me (NLT). Kelly Helton, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

But Chai Ling was determined to make her family proud by doing well in her university studies and got accepted as a graduate student at the Child Psychology Institute of Beijing Normal University. She married Feng, a student leader, and had to abort several babies because they were too young to get a license to have one. Meanwhile, problems started at Tiananmen Square. In an incredible speech Chai Ling urged the students to join in a hunger strike to get freedom and democracy. The students wanted the government to realize that they loved their nation and were sacrificing their health to ask for freedom. They never expected the government would bring tanks to fire on them. Eventually after hiding for a year, Chai Ling and Feng had to flee China on a boat, for the government had their pictures posted everywhere and their escape was miraculous. Once in America Chai Ling found it difficult to get a job with investment banking firms because they were concerned about the China portion of their business. The biggest miracle came when Chai Ling learned about Jesus and found forgiveness for her forced abortions. You truly have to read this book to understand how long they endured government oppression before fleeing, how God revealed Himself to Chai Ling, how terrible the one baby policy in China is, and the importance of Americans helping to transform China to respect basic human rights and freedom to worship.

I found it fascinating to read about what was going on from her view point about the massacre, although it was difficult to keep track of who was doing what, when. Equally fascinating was to learn of the hardships she faced after Tiananmen Square, not only for herself but also her family and yet then to see how God has used it and redeemed it for His glory.
RuthSophia5 Stars Out Of 5Quietly CompellingJune 26, 2013RuthSophiaQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This book is outside of my usual genre, and I expected to feel like I *had* to make it through the book. This was not the case at all. Ling quietly tells the story of her life. She doesn't do it to victimize herself. She doesn't do it to proclaim her greatness. Instead she quietly brings you through her story which is filled with strong emotions step-by-step. You don't even realize the journey most of the time.
Sometimes, the story was too much to handle at once and I had to walk away for a time, but I needed to know more, just like she needed to share.
I have never been familiar with Tienanmen Square. Sure, I knew about it, and that it was awful, but I didn't understand it. This book was really an insightful look into Chinese politics and culture. Something most Americans know precious little about.
Ling never yells at the reader, though she recounts many conflicts, yet her story is compelling. Many times along the path you ask "why" or "how", and she is upfront in telling you when she doesn't have the answer. But if she can provide an answer she does.
Her transformation from a bitter, scared, scarred student to a gracious, forgiving, freed woman is a journey of hope and inspiration for everyone. And through her story, we also carry a hope for China.

The YSRC chief faces multiple cases on financial irregularities and disproportionate wealth
With the Bharatiya Janata Party winning a majority on its own in the Lok Sabha, Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi is now faced with a problem of plenty as support is coming even from parties outside the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, chief of the YSR Congress and archrival of the Telugu Desam Party, an electoral ally of the BJP, met Mr. Modi here on Friday and offered conditional backing. His party has nine members in the new Lok Sabha.
Though the BJP does not need any additional support in the lower House, it is woefully short of a majority in the Rajya Sabha. So, this is where support from other parties matter.
Conscious of this reality, Mr. Modi has been reaching out to even those who have not approached him. For instance, both he and BJP president Rajnath Singh called up Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha to congratulate her on the spectacular performance of the AIADMK.
Though Mr. Reddy went armed with a memorandum listing things that needed to be done in the new State comprising Seemandhra regions which will come into being on June 2, his meeting with Mr. Modi was essentially political.
Fighting multiple cases on financial irregularities, violation of laws and disproportionate wealth, Mr. Reddy has reason to be worried. A recent Facebook post of Telugu Desam Party says: "It is beyond doubt that he [Mr. Reddy] is going back to jail in 45 days." On Sunday, Mr. Naidu said, "The law must take its own course ... I don't have a grudge against anybody."
Emerging from his meeting with Mr. Modi, Mr. Reddy said he had offered "issue-based support" to Mr. Modi, though "he doesn't need it." He complained that the UPA government forced the "most unjust division" of Andhra Pradesh.Reminding Mr. Modi of the BJP's assurance in Parliament to extend special status to the new State for 10 years, he urged him to issue orders without delay.

Elsa also sent this picture from a slideshow she researched about Starksboro's stores. The image is a scan of a slide of a photo of the original picture that came from Bertha Hanson's collection.
We're researching the deeds which almost all mention a blacksmith shop on the land somewhere. We've learned through correspondence with John Burbank that the structure in front of the L. S. Gordon storefront was removed in the 1970's to give the residents of the storefront more room in their front yard.We wonder if this building was the old blacksmith shop. The deeds also mention a horse barn and house and we haven't dug into the papers far enough to learn how large the original plot was yet. We wonder if some of the structures mentioned in the deeds were on the other (East) side of Route 116. The first deed, which mentions the blacksmith shop, is from September 25, 1856:
"…described as follows, to wit, being the Blacksmith shop, and tools and stock and all the land on which said shop stands…"

Self on young KU team: 'We have a lot of puppies'
Kansas coach Bill Self took the floor at Big 12 media day at the Sprint Center on Wednesday morning. A few general themes continued from his comments last week at KU media day in Lawrence.
Self said he likes his roster and talent, but it may take awhile for the Jayhawks to hit their stride.
"We have a lot of puppies," Self said of KU's large freshman class.
KU returns four seniors and adds seven scholarship freshmen. And rotation options appear numerous. Self said that KU could go as many as nine- or 10-deep this season.
The biggest difference, Self said, will be learning to play without Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson. ("We don't have star power," Self said.) But Self added that, more often than not, when you give players an opportunity, they generally rise to the occasion.
• Self talked about Jeff Withey's offensive development, saying the most important thing Withey has to do is score over his right shoulder. Self said Withey's ability to hit free throws can translate into the 15-foot jumper, and he's also pretty comfortable scoring over his left shoulder — a more natural move.• Kansas has a seven-man freshman class, but two players — guard Ben McLemore and forward Jamari Traylor — spent last season redshirting after running into academic issues. Self said McLemore spent the second half of last season guarding Tyshawn Taylor in practice, while Traylor was often matched up with Thomas Robinson.
• Self was also asked if he believed it was a "replenishing" year for the Big 12 after the league lost a slew of first-round draft picks. In short: No, Self said. Self once again complimented Oklahoma State's talent and said he thought there were plenty of pro prospects in the league.
"I think our league reloads," he said.
