Welcome Darth,
I agree with much of what K1W1 said.
Wind buffeting is a myth on a Strom...... I have 6 different helmets [no I don't wear them all, but I do wear 3 of them for different reasons at times].
Of the 6, one gets buffeted, two get mild buffeting under certain wind conditions and the other three get no buffeting at all- so it is the helmet, not the screen that is the issue.
My new Nolan N104 has no buffeting at all, I have found that on my old KLE500 with the small screen the visor automatically pops shut at 100kph- on the Strom it doesn't get air pressure on it so it stays open even at speed.
Luggage- soft panniers and tank bag for most of your gear along with a top box to lock important items in [not all helmets fit in, get a cable lock to secure them to the bike if you need to leave them with it- my Givi V46 top box will hold our two adult full face helmets though].
Make sure your riding skills are honed before taking a pillion.
Crash bars.
Ride and enjoy.

Welcome to the world of spending all your hard earned $ on your strom!
I've had my 2008 vstrom for 3 months or so and I'm addicted to bolt on goodies.
It started life as a standard 650 abs and within days the additions started.
In the short time I've had it I've added
SW-motech crash bars.
SW- motech centre stand.
SW-motech engine sump guard.
SW-motech adventure lower foot pegs.
SW-motech gps mount.
SW-motech iPhone mount.
2 led front driving lamps.
Adventure tech lowering plates for the foot pegs and controls.
Adventure tech mirror extenders.
Throttle lock/ cruise control.
Had the seat padding redone ( higher)
SW-motech luggage racks.
Full set of TraX aluminium luggage.
Two 12v aux sockets, for iPhone and tomtom rider gps.
LED rear tail lamp.
Genuine Suzuki hand guards,this stop the wind/cold and keep the fingers nice and toasty.
All these parts fitted perfectly with no dramas at all and I recommend them to anyone.
as far as my wife thinks I've spent a couple of hundred $
I dread to think what I've really spent.
So like I said welcome and happy spending.

So Ocker
If buffeting on a Strom is a myth, and its all in the helmet, how come I keep my helmet, change my screen - buffeting totally eliminated?
Buffeting is caused by a combination of body size and shape, riding position, helmet and bike aerodynamics. Unfortunately most people simply blame the bike and don't look at the other factors. Often as Ocker says a change of helmet will solve a problem. Sometimes a change of handlebars or handle bar position or fitting mirror extenders work, sometimes its a screen change and sometimes it's all of the above or sell the bike because it just does not work for you..
There is no right or wrong answer and what works for one does not always work for another.
Despite all the negative buffeting comments about Stroms I have never experienced any at all but obviously other people have and I'm sure there are a lot of people who think they have but really don't know what buffeting is and just follow the herd mentality and pay for fixes that are not required.
If all else fails . . . take the expensive option : by leaving the screen off.
I have a 2006 650 and the first accessories I put on were the following:
Hepco & Becker crash bars (Adventure Moto Products - Brisbane)
Hepco & Becker centre stand
Headlight protector (Australian Motorcycle Headlight Protectors - Qld?)
At first I had a Venture rack on the back, this worked well as when you put it over the seat, it leaves you room for a tent on the rear. Now I have a small Givi top box. The Ventura bag holds more, but not waterproof. As others have said, if you're into "off-road" then go with soft side panniers. I'm making my own aluminium sheet paniers as I usually only commute to and from work.
I would also suggest you get a radiator guard ASAP.
If you're going "off road" then an exhaust bash plate is a must.
I have the Suzuki hand guards, they work ok for wind, but I live in Brisbane, so I don't see the point for heated grips for me.
Hope all this helps,

Thanks for the tips again guys. I tried to shield-less option, and did a trip to Tamworth and back without it, and while it was fine in as far as there was no buffeting, the wind noise gave me quite the headache. I've got my Madstadd brackets and shield now and have installed the bracket on the bottom setting, and will be trying different height and rake options til I find the best option for me.
I was in Tamworth to see my parents, and my father and I had a look over the bike checking oil, water etc. It had used no oil or water at all between Gosford and Tamworth which is good, but when we went to check the chain, we found that it has stretched in some spots. So when it's a good tension in some spots, it is still very loose in some others. So I need a new chain. Roughly how much should I expect to pay for one?

Check this thread for chain prices from SV Racing.
You might want to have a good look at the sprockets as well. Warn or hooked sprockets will kill a new chain quickly so you may decide to replace them at the same time.

Lavender & Rosemary Roasted Lamb Tartine – Warm Lentil Vinaigrette, Roquefort and Late Summer Tomatoes ~
Post #4 of "Have Kelly, Will Cook" inspired by the much-anticipated book "Have Mother, Will Travel"
written by best selling authors Claire and Mia Fontaine.
I came up with this Lamb Tartine several years back for a dinner party that included Claire, and she still talks about it to this day. We thought it would fit right in with this series since a good portion of the book takes place in France. I warmly think of Claire every time I make this dish. The look on her face when she took her first bite was priceless; then I have to giggle a bit as I remember her devouring the rest, with grace of course.
We still have lots of beautiful tomatoes here in California, and I'll be using them as much as I can until they are (sadly) gone for the season. You can easily replace them with slices of roasted squash or braised greens, pretty much anything you have available in your area. If you don't like blue cheese, use a brie or even goat cheese. I like this Tartine served warm, even the lentil vinaigrette and toasted bread. The contrast with the fresh tomatoes is amazing.

We had ten people working on the course today. We were able to remove the debris from 12 fairways. We cut the debris into manageable sized pieces and moved it to the edges of the fairways to be removed later. The remaining holes will not be as tough as what we did today. With two more work days like what we had today the course will be back in the condition it was in before it was closed.
The tentative date for reopening is May 11th!!!
Thanx to Troy Duke, John Logston, Larry Cave, Clint Rider, Butch Harbolt, Randy Reed, Nick Murphy, Ed Murphy, and Shawn McGee for giving up a beautiful Saturday to get the course going. Our next work day is March 5th.

Amerall and Vizvary to Join Women's Volleyball Squad in 2010
December 10, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University head coach of womens volleyball Ben Guiliano announced the signing of two student-athletes for the 2010 fall season. In August, the Lady Falcons will welcome in a talented duo of outside hitter Kim Amerall from Lynchburg, VA, and middle hitter Anna Vizvary hailing from North Augusta, SC.
Amerall, originally from Milwaukee, comes to Misenheimer via E.C. Glass High School where the senior has earned many accolades. Three years ago, Amerall took home honors as a second-team all-district member as well as the teams most improved player award. In 2008 for the Hilltoppers, Amerall moved up to first-team all-district, again received the most improved honor and added the coachs award at seasons end. This past fall, Amerall again scored first-team all-district honors to go along with a regional honorable mention and the Lynchburg News Advance Player of the Week and an all-area player of the year. Academically, Amerall is on the Honor Roll and Western Valley All-Academic Team. Ameralls community service resume includes helping out Big Brothers, Big Sisters, varsity athletes reading program for Elementary students, the Ambassadors Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Holy Cross Youth Group.
Vizvary enters the Lady Falcons volleyball program from North Augusta High School in North Augusta, SC. The 5-11 middle hitter just recently picked up a 4A all-region player award after leading the Yellow Jackets, as the floor captain, with 201 kills and 68 blocks. A four-year member of the varsity volleyball program, Vizvary snagged the most improved away in 2007 before being tabbed a 2008 4A all-region player and an all-tournament player in the Augusta Prep Classic. Vizvary also finds herself on the honor roll academically and is a Locks of Love Donor and Christmas Adopt-a-Child Sponsor.

Here at Baltimore's Best Alternative Weekly, we often use our Best of Baltimore issues to mark the passage of time. Last year, as we were putting this giant heap of Best together, we got word that our erstwhile owner Times-Shamrock was putting its five alternative weeklies up for sale.
A lot has happened since then—most notably for us, the Baltimore Sun Media Group (BSMG) bought City Paper, putting us under the same umbrella with the Sun, the very newspaper we were founded as an alternative to. The toughest part of that was losing some invaluable staffers, who were fired by Times-Shamrock (technically, we all were) and were not hired by BSMG. In addition, we transitioned to new systems, including a new content management system for our website, and adjusted to a drastically different working environment.
The week after we got news of the sale, art director Joe MacLeod, who was among those not hired by BSMG, created what will certainly go down as one of the best covers in City Paper history, encapsulating our collective fears in classic City Paper style. The cover, which won "Best Parody" in Baltimore magazine's Best of Baltimore issue, imagined a City Paper overwhelmed by new ownership, with the giant Sun logo dwarfing the City Paper one and The Sun's "Light for All" motto changed to "Jobs for Some." Bylines included tags like "Baltimore City Paper, no wait, The Sun—no wait—The Hartford Advocate, no, The Sun, maybe? Taco Bell?"
But, it must be said, our worst fears were not realized. In April, a month after the sale was completed, we put out our first-ever Weed Issue, "Guide to the High Life," with a psychedelic cover modeled on R. Crumb's illustration for Big Brother and the Holding Company's "Cheap Thrills" album cover, along with product reviews, a playlist of stoner tunes, and a serious consideration of the reality of decriminalization. Media watcher Jim Romenesko posted the cover on his website under the headline, "Nice to See City Paper Hasn't Changed Under Baltimore Sun Media Group Ownership."
At least subconsciously, this and other early forays into touchy subjects were our attempts to test for limits, to see if we would have any new problems doing the work we've always done. And to our relief, there haven't been. Job losses aside, we're still here, putting out a weekly paper full of challenging investigative news, passionate arts coverage, and endless dedication to the city we serve. And while we can never replace MacLeod or the other employees we lost or overstate their importance to the paper's history, we're glad MacLeod's Mr. Wrong column and freelance contributions are still part of City Paper.
So this year's Best of Baltimore issue is cause for celebration, maybe even more than usual. City Paper has been a local institution since 1977 and, despite many, many changes over the years, we like to think of the paper as a classic that only gets better with age, like a great vinyl album—an idea that inspired this year's Best of Baltimore cover and design.
Also this year, in addition to recognizing the best of everything from politicians to bagels to bars, we look back at previous winners in our "Greatest Hits" pages, recalling the winners for things such as "Best Scandal," "Best Brunch," and "Best Reason to Leave Baltimore" over the years. Of course, City Paper will never actually leave Baltimore—at least not without a fight—and that's more clear to us now than it's ever been.
City Paper's 2014 best of Baltimore was written by Jim Burger, Lawrence Burney, Maura Callahan, Tom Chalkley, Charles Cohen, Ryan Detter, Kate Drabinski, Edward Ericson Jr., Michael Farley, J.M. Giordano, Charlie Herrick, Geoffrey Himes, John Housser III, Nicole King, Rebekah Kirkman, Lawrence Lanahan, Rebecca Scott Lord, Joe MacLeod, Bret McCabe, Evan Serpick, Al Shipley, Josh Sisk, Van Smith, Brandon Soderberg, Danielle Sweeney, Athena Towery, Lindsay VanAsdalan, Anna Walsh, Wendy Ward, Brandon Weigel, Baynard Woods.

Thanks so much for the help. I wrestled for ages with this - I think perhaps part of the problem was that I had downgraded from SQLExpress 2008 (although I had been having problems with that too).
I found that for asp.net to create a user instance, I also had to delete:
C:\Documents and Settings\<machine name>\ASPNET\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Data.
Hope this saves someone some pain!

I am having this same problem, and it seems that this forum is close to helping everyone find an answer.
I am working on VISTA .x64 Ultimate SP2, with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and I also have SQL Server (Express) 2008 installed. I upgraded from SQL Server Express 2005. In the SS Management Studio I can access all of the databases as required, including the problematic one called BOI_DB (BOI_DB.mdf), without any issues. I can also see all tables, sp etc., and edit any of them as desired, again without issues.
In Visual Studio however, I cannot create new database files. When I right-click on my app's App_Data folder and choose "Add New Item...", then select Sql Server Database, I get an error message:
"Connections to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: ..."
In addition to the above, when my ASP.NET 3.5 web app tries to add a record to this database, I get this error:
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."
and the app fails.
I have tried many of the solutions displayed in this thread, but nothing seems to be working. Can someone please help me to find a solution to this frustrating problem. I've been on it for days and I am just not getting anywhere. Thanks for your help in advance.

Guys, I'm having this same problem ever since I went to VS2010 and I'm running SQL2008 Express on Vista.
Now VS can not create the aspnet_db in app_data folder and I can not either, getting the same error with user instance.
I have changed the SQL server setting to "Local System" but I can't not find the directory "C:\Users\[userid]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Data\SQLEXPRESS" on my Vista to delete it
Could someone help with this issue please?

This problem took down one of our high-availability-required and in-use production systems for over 24 hours. Code that we wrote in VS C# with an SQL Express back-end suddenly crashed without warning after running 24 x 7 for months. The steps that we had to take, based on the troubleshooting ideas in this thread were (the system in question is running Win XP Pro SP3):
1. Removed SQLEXPRESS folders. (Our application still crashes on start-up with the noted error.)
2. Changed all SQL-related services to run under the LOCAL SYSTEM account and rebooted. (Did not help.)
3. In the C# Visual Studio 2008 IDE attempted to access the databases behind the project using the Database Explorer view -- they do not open. (Same error.)
4. Changed the database connection details using the "Advanced" option and set to User Instance = FALSE. (Did not help.)
5. Ran a System Restore to a few weeks back when the application was working fine. (Did not help.)
6. Uninstalled all SQL components listed in Control Panel | Add & Remove Programs. Then ran a repair installation of C# VS2008. (Did not help.)
7. Ran a component reinstall of SQL using the C# VS2008 to reinstall the SQL Express back-end and then made sure the User Instance was set to FALSE in the Database Explorer Data Connection in Visual Studio. After this step the back-end could be opened in the Database Explorer, but the application still crashes with the "Failed to generate a user instance..." error after recompiling and running and when running in debug mode in the IDE.
8. In the C# project properties pages, under Settings, set the connection string associated with the project to include "User Instance=False" at the end of the string and then recompiled the project.
After step 8, the compiled application can run again and open its database and can also be executed in debug mode in the IDE.
First of all, I want to thank those who went before and figured-out some of these issues and posted -- without this material our system would be completely DOA right now still. Secondly, I want to express my dismay at the *APPARENTLY RANDOM INSTABILITY* this introduces into production software that has taken considerable time and effort to develop.
All I can say is that it would be nice if MS stood up to the plate and offered an explanation for this issue and a real solution to go with it.

When authorities in 2009 closed in on a North Carolina-based terrorist group bent on waging jihad, news of the arrests made national headlines. The group, led by an American citizen who lived an unassuming life as a drywall contractor, underscored the reality that Islamic extremism is "not confined to the remote regions of some far away land but can grow and fester right here at home," as one prosecutor put it.
But buried in the torrent of news articles covering the case was only passing mention of a state agency officials call instrumental to the investigation, an agency that has collected intelligence on North Carolinians for years though few outside of law enforcement have ever heard about it.
N.C. ISAAC, short for the Information Sharing and Analysis Center, is one of more than 70 so-called fusion centers set up around the country as part of a controversial federal initiative led by the Department of Homeland Security to avert the communication breakdowns that lead to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
The centers, at least one of which is located in nearly every state, have raised fears of government surveillance, drawing fierce criticism from civil liberties advocates concerned about exploiting security concerns to bring the country closer to an Orwellian state.
Fusion centers form a sprawling security colossus made up of what one former law enforcement official called mini-spy agencies, places where analysts pore over intel about gangs, thieves, terrorists and any other criminal variety, fusing pieces into pictures that authorities can act on.
The only other center in the state besides ISAAC is the much smaller
ERIC partnered with numerous agencies across
Officials in
Though it never existed, the N.C. Department of Public Safety lists the Charlotte Regional Information and
Officials at the Wilmington Police Department said they deal with fusion centers in regard to crime trends and officer safety issues, such as when someone has threatened law enforcement. One recalled ERIC connecting a bank robbery spree that stretched from
ISAAC, the biggest fusion center in
Tips stream in throughout the day from public and private sources. The information is compiled, analyzed and, if needed, disseminated to law enforcement via bulletins and emails, officials said.
Information developed through ISAAC's community outreach program, an effort to increase public awareness of the center's mission, put investigators on a path toward a group of homegrown extremists plotting in a rural area south of
Daniel Patrick Boyd, an American who had trained in militant camps in
The group, which included two of Boyd's sons, provided money, transportation and men to help terrorists overseas, attempted to engage in jihad and amassed an arsenal of rifles and pistols before state and federal investigators dismantled the operation.
Seven members of the group were arrested and sentenced to prison. Boyd is serving 18 years.
During a recent interview with ISAAC officials, they pointed to Boyd as an agency success story.
"Throughout the United States, there's literally been hundreds of attempts to mount terrorist type attacks that have been disrupted and dealt with ahead of time and fusion centers have been a player in many of those cases," said B.W. Collier, ISAAC's special agent in charge.
Federal lawmakers criticized fusion centers last year because they were unconvinced that the federal government's investment of as much as $1.4 billion in the initiative had yielded tangible benefits. Critics contend fusion centers exaggerate purported successes and that much of the intelligence they purport to synthesize can easily, and perhaps more efficiently, be done without them.
A blistering 141-page reported released in October by a Senate subcommittee concluded the centers did little to bolster national counterterrorism efforts and sometimes endangered civil liberties and privacy protections.
"The Subcommittee investigation found that the fusion centers often produced irrelevant, useless or inappropriate intelligence reporting to DHS (Department of Homeland Security), and many produced no intelligence reporting whatsoever," the report reads.
The report, based on a two-year investigation, also documented instances of fusion centers spending federal dollars on items seemingly unrelated to information sharing — "shirt-button" cameras, flat-screen televisions, sport-utility vehicles and cellphone tracking equipment.
Concerns about trampling on constitutionally protected freedoms stayed despite fusion centers' adoption of privacy policies. One reason for this is that fusion centers encourage the reporting of "suspicious activity," which critics point out can be something as innocuous as someone taking photographs and has actually resulted in photographers being arrested and harassed.
Fusion centers examine suspicious activity reports, known in security parlance as SARs, for credibility and relevance, then forward them to a national repository, where they can be cross linked.
Michael German, senior policy counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union and a former FBI agent, said in a telephone interview that the fusion center and SAR initiatives led to an expansion in the amount of information being collected about Americans, who has access to it and who it is being shared with.
"Our founders were very wise in the system they established, which requires the government to have an actual basis to believe you're doing something wrong before we start collecting information about you," he said. "We have lowered that standard. That doesn't help. It hinders law enforcement and makes them go on wild goose chases."
Such antipathy aside, fusion centers enjoy vocal supporters, with some waging an offensive to beat back calls for the centers' reduction or elimination. Ronald Brooks, director of a fusion center in
The law enforcement community strenuously objected to the derisive subcommittee report, saying it "displays a fundamental disconnect and severe misunderstanding of the federal government's role in supporting state and locally owned and operated fusion centers," according to a statement released by the National Fusion Center Association.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, a Democrat from Louisiana and chair of the homeland security appropriations subcommittee, said she "cannot disagree more" with the subcommittee's conclusion, and argued that fusion centers played a pivotal role in numerous criminal investigations, including stopping a terrorist from blowing up a New York subway.

Fusion spending
Fusion centers have come under fire for how they spend Department of Homeland Security grant money. The StarNews of Wilmington reviewed budget records provided by the Information Sharing and
From its opening in fiscal year 2006 to September 2012, ISAAC spent $3.1 million in federal grant money, much of it on training, startup costs and supplies, including:

A bicycle can be stolen from just about any place, but simple precautions can deter would-be bike thieves. Remember, most bikes that are stolen were not locked!
Always lock you bicycle securely whether you're gone for a few minutes or a few hours. Use a U-lock, securing both wheels and the frame to a stationary object such as a post, fence, tree, or bike rack. For extra security, add a chain or cable with a good padlock.
When your bike is at home, keep it in a locked garage or room. Do not leave it in the yard or driveway.
Record the serial number of your bicycle and keep it with the sale receipt and a photograph of the bike.
Mark your bicycle with an engraver to deter thieves and to help the police in identifying and returning a stolen bike to the rightful owner. Use a unique number such as your California Driver's License number.
License your bike with the Irvine Police Department.
The Irvine Municipal Code requires Irvine residents to license bicycles operated within the City of Irvine. An application can be completed online HERE or in person at:
Irvine Police Department 1 Civic Center Plaza Irvine, CA 92606-5208
*California Vehicle Code (CVC) 39002 CVC 39002 allows local authorities to implement mandatory licensing for bicycles and prohibit unlicensed riding. 39002. (a) A city or county, which adopts a bicycle licensing ordinance or resolution, may provide in the ordinance or resolution that no resident shall operate any bicycle, as specified in the ordinance, on any street, road, highway, or other public property within the jurisdiction of the city or county, as the case may be, unless the bicycle is licensed in accordance with this division. (b) It is unlawful for any person to tamper with, destroy, mutilate, or alter any license indicia or registration form, or to remove, alter, or mutilate the serial number, or the identifying marks of a licensing agency's identifying symbol, on any bicycle frame licensed under this division. —California Department of Motor Vehicles, CVC 39002, Registration and Licensing of Bicycles

Northside survived its biggest test of the season Friday night.
In a game in which the unbeaten Monarchs were outgained almost 2-to-1 by a team that had one player throw for more than 200 yards and another run for more than 100, Northside still found a way to win, defeating North Pitt 41-28 in the second round of the NCHSAA 2-AA playoffs.
"Our guys showed a lot of resolve and heart," Northside coach Bob Eason said. "We didn't never give up. Maybe this game in the playoffs gets us going to the next level (and) makes us practice a little harder net week."
The top-seeded Monarchs (13-0) will play host to No. 5 seed Bunn (10-2) next Friday night in the East Regional semifinals, the deepest Northside has advanced since making it to the regional finals four straight years from 2005-2008.
Bunn beat SouthWest Edgecombe 31-14 Friday night.
"It was a good test," said running back Dewayne Johnson, who rushed for 96 yards and scored on runs of 20 and 9 yards while also delivering a number of numbing hits on defense. "I'd say this is probably the hardest team we've played this year."
The eighth-seeded Panthers, who finish 8-5 (all five losses were teams that advanced to at least the second round of the playoffs), scored the most points against the Monarchs this year, eclipsing the 21 Northside allowed in a 13-point win at Wilson Fike on Sept. 7.
North Pitt also saw 6-foot-5, 190-pound senior quarterback Christopher Perry complete 15 of 29 passes for 236 yards and 2 touchdowns, but he also threw two interceptions. And junior running back Brian Staton rushed for 140 yards for North Pitt, which finished with 446 yards total offense to 231 yards for Northside.
"We have a good team, if we can just get out of our way," North Pitt coach David Boal said, pointing to not only turnovers but 95 yards in penalties, including two instances where his team was called for a 15-yard personal foul and 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty on the same play. "We just had mistakes and blunders.
"They never had to drive the football. The first drive they took down the field, but just…," he said before pausing. "They're a good team. They capitalized on our mistakes. That's what I feel happened."
The Monarchs certainly did that. After driving 58 yards with their first possession for a 7-0 lead on Blair Adams' 1-yard run, the Monarchs scored on drives of 22, 20, 9 and 28 yards along with a 64-yard punt return by Josh Cabrera.
That return came in a key 14-point surge by the Monarchs in the final seconds of the first half. After North Pitt missed a wide open receiver on a reverse pass on third-and-15, the Panthers had to punt, and after hauling it in Cabrera started right and then broke back left and raced into the end zone to give Northside a 14-7 lead with 20.6 seconds left.
On the ensuing kickoff Trey Eason hit a pop-up pooch kick that Andy Davis somehow recovered after it appeared the Panthers had fallen on the ball at their 22. Cabrera found the end zone again, using his 6-foot-3 frame and athletic ability to leap over 5-7 Monte Foreman for a 22-yard touchdown pass from Courtney Piatt with 11.9 seconds left.
Suddenly, it was 21-7 Northside at the half.
"That was huge," coach Eason said. "I think the game's different. If we don't go up, they don't do all the stuff they did to score so it's a lower scoring game."
Boal wasn't sure what to make of it all.
"Thinking back, I still don't know what happened," he said. "No. 1, I thought our kid was down with the ball (on the kickoff) and it should have been down and they come and jump under it. I don't know what happened…. But if we come out of there 14-7 or 7-7 who knows what's going to happen."
Still, the game wasn't over.
After North Pitt closed within 21-14 on a 21-yard pass from Perry to Chris Parrish on its opening second-half possession, Northside got the ball at the Panthers 20 thanks to a 35-yard kickoff return by Shadell Markee and 30 yards in penalties on a face mask and unsportsmanlike penalty. Johnson then burst up the middle on Northside's first play from scrimmage in the second half to make it 27-14.
The Monarchs made it 35-14 after a 34-yard interception return by Cabrera on a 9-yard TD run by Johnson — after North Pitt's Jamal Shaw dropped a sure interception in the end zone one play earlier.
"As a whole offensive unit, I was standing there and I told the offensive line we needed to step it up and put some points on the board," Johnson said.
But the Panthers made it interesting, pulling within 35-28 with 10:45 left in the game on touchdown passes of 39 and 88 yards from Perry to Davion Council. But Northside's defense, which had not been shredded like this all season, stood tall down the stretch, holding the Panthers to just two first downs and no points.
Meanwhile, Northside clinched the win when Trey Eason bulled around left end for an 11-yard run on third-and-1 with 1:05 left in the game.
While his defense gave up more points and likely more yards than any game this season, and his usually overwhelming running game managed just 133 yards on the round, Eason was still happy for one reason: The Monarchs won.
"During the playoffs, these kind of wins are OK," he said. "During regular season when you're still trying to tweak some stuff, you get a little upset. But right now I'm just happy to practicing next week.
"(The Panthers) have a good team, and they put it on all on the line. I think they probably played their best game against us tonight. It was good to take what I consider probably their best shot and keep playing."

November 15, 2008
Banner Elk, NC The Pfeiffer University Lady Falcons lost a five set thriller (14-25, 25-16, 23-25, 25-18, 18-16), taking the score to 18-16 in the fifth, allowing the Mount Olive Trojans to advance to the final round of the Conference Carolinas Volleyball Tournament at Williams Gymnasium in Banner Elk, NC Friday afternoon.
After getting down 4-10 in set four, Mount Olive went on a ten point streak to forge ahead 14-10, then pressed on to win 25-18 forcing the match to a fifth and final match. Pfeiffer pulled ahead 9-4, forcing Mount Olive to take a timeout. Inspired Mount Olive clawed their way back into the match evening the score at 13. The score was tied at 13, 14, 15 and 16 before Mount Olive was able to win two consecutive points claiming an 18-16 win and giving them a shot at the Conference Carolinas title on Saturday.
Petra Ljubicic (Asheboro, NC) led the way for Pfeiffer University (27-6) with 15 kills, while Lauren Spiotta (Batavia, NY) added 13. Brittany Dickens (Wake Forest, NC) threw down 10 kills and had three block assists. Brittney Poole (Sparta, NC) served up three aces and had 21 digs in the Falcons effort.

A new website, ScienceOmega, aimed at showcasing high-quality scientific features and news has been launched and may be worth keeping an eye on.
It is boasting quite a list of contributors – Sir Patrick Moore, Executive Director of the Nobel Foundation Dr Lars Heikensten, Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Dr Hamadoun Touré, President of the United States' Council for Chemical Research (CCR) Dr Seth Snyder, Chief Executive of the Society of Biology Dr Mark Downs.
It is aiming to cover a very wide range of disciplines. Science Omega says it "has one overarching goal; to communicate high-quality scientific content to the largest possible audience. It is paramount that Science Omega contains content that will interest the scientific community. However, science cannot afford to be elitist, and we are convinced that if we present material in a clear and engaging way, it will prove fascinating for scientists and non-scientists alike."

I upgraded to newest version of Pagelines and then started having issues with images.
Here's what my Media Library looks like:
Also, when I try to add a custom logo in Global Settings I get this: Note the yellow highlight. I can't actually get to the upload screen.
Here's what I've tried:
1. disable all plugins: didn't work
2. change theme to 2011: didn't work
3. called hostgator and asked them to look at the setup: they said it looks good.
4. I checked permissions on the wp-content/upload folder and it's set to 755.
1. If you click on the URL in the media library you are taken to the actual picture so the images are there. They just are "showing".
Any ideas?
Can't load images

By 2011 theme, do you mean the Twenty Eleven theme? If the problem persists even when a different theme is activated, it may be both WP-related and Framework-related.

Unfortunately, if uploads dont even work with the default wordpress 2011 theme, its either a wordpress plugin, wordpress itself or a hosting issue.

Lawmaker to Homeland Security: Don't forget to credit God for keeping Kentuckians safe
11/28/2008 @ 5:32 pm
Filed by RAW STORY
A lawmaker is upset with his state's Department of Homeland Security for its lack of credit to a "higher power" for its work in protecting the state's citizens.
Kentucky State Rep. Tom Riner, a Southern Baptist minister who helped establish a requirement that the federally funded agency credit God with keeping the state safe, is upset that under Gov. Steve Beshear, the department's 2008 annual report did not do so.
"We certainly expect it to be there, of course," Riner, of Louisville, told the Lexington Herald-Leader.
Among the requirements of the 2006 anti-terror law is that a plaque be placed in the department's Emergency Operations Center. Part of the statement on the plaque reads: "The safety and security of the Commonwealth cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon Almighty God."
"This is recognition that government alone cannot guarantee the perfect safety of the people of Kentucky," Riner added. "Government itself, apart from God, cannot close the security gap. The job is too big for government."
"I will not try to supplant almighty God," said Homeland Security chief Thomas Preston. "All I do is try to obey the dictates of the Kentucky General Assembly. I really don't know what their motivation was for this. They obviously felt strongly about it."
I assume that the Rev. Riner, Southern Batshit minister, blames god for 911.

Very happy with this tire! I even rode this tire for the last 2 laps when it was flat during a cyclocross race. I picked up a thorn when I went wide passing. I could only tell something was amiss when I was on a short section of hard pack gravel. It still worked well enough to maintain second position.

Copyright for Family Historians
by David Hawgood
Copyright is the exclusive right to make copies of a work recorded as characters, visual images or music (literary, artistic and musical works, drama and film). Copyright is a property; usually it belongs initially to the author, but ownership can then be assigned (in writing) to someone else. It may belong to the originator's employer, or the person commissioning a work. The owner of the copyright can licence others to make copies, for example by publishing in a magazine or book. When the owner dies, it forms part of the estate. Copyright expires after a number of years. The duration of copyright is complicated, it depends on the form of the work, whether it was published, whether it was Crown or Parliamentary copyright. Quite apart from whether a work is in copyright, the owner of a document or other work can make conditions about access to it and what use is made of copies. For example, photography of paintings in stately homes may be forbidden, or may be allowed provided no commercial use is made of the photographs.
There are provisions for making copies for research, and copying extracts from works, which make most of the work of an individual family historian possible with little formality. These are described later in the article, but here is a summary of the practical implications:
This article is an informal summary, and does not constitute legal advice.
The current U.K. law is the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Amendments and detail regulations are in Statutory Instruments; relevant are Duration of Copyright and Rights in Performance Regulations 1995, SI 1995/3297; and Copyright (Librarians and Archivists) (Copying of Copyright Material) Regulations 1989, SI 1989/1212.
Advice on reproduction of Crown and Parliamentary copyright material is contained in a 7- page public letter from HMSO addressed to "Dear Publisher" available free from the Crown Copyright Unit, St Clements House, 2-16 Colegate, Norwich NR3 1BQ; phone 01603 621000. The latest version is dated 1st March 1996. This and some other relevant material including a "Dear Librarian" letter are available on the Internet at http://www.hmso.gov.uk. The Copyright Unit is happy to discuss individual enquiries by phone with anyone in doubt about the kinds of cases in which permission is required. General Information leaflet 15: Copyright from the Public Record Office, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 4DU is an excellent summary of information about copyright in general, as well as a statement of the particular conditions applying to public records. There is a good appendix on duration of Crown, Parliamentary and private copyright. It is nine A4 sheets; to get a copy send an sae to the PRO. It was amended in January 1996.
Three helpful leaflets (6 to 8 pages each) are available from the Society of Authors, 84 Drayton Gardens, London SW10 9SB at £1 each post free. They are Quick Guide 1: Copyright and Moral Rights; Quick Guide 10: Permissions; and Quick Guide 11: Copyright in Artistic Works, including Photographs. Their Quick Guide 8: Publishing contracts mainly applies to books; it is £3.
There is a useful summary article in The Artists and Writers Year Book available in most public libraries - look at the edition for a recent year, as there have been changes.
The standard book on publishing aspects is A Handbook of Copyright in British Publishing Practice by J M Cavendish, 3rd edition published by Cassell (1993).
I used the book Intellectual Property by David I Bainbridge, 2nd edition 1994 from Pitmans, for information about copyright in computer data and programs. The Directive on legal protection of databases is in the Official Journal of the European Community, 1993 C194/144.
Copyright - A Handbook for Archivists by J B Post & M R Foster, published by the Society of Archivists in 1992, has been recommended to me as giving information about copyright in unpublished material, but is out of print and being revised. The book I actually used for this purpose was a heavy legal text, Copinger and Skone James on Copyright by E P Skone James et al, 13th edition published by Sweet & Maxwell in 1991.
The 1988 Copyright Act and the 1995 "duration of copyright" Statutory Instrument extend the period of copyright for published work, and reduce it for unpublished work. For published written work it used to be 50 years from the death of the author, but has been extended to 70 years for authors resident in the European Union. Copyright in unpublished written work was indefinite; for authors who die after 1989 it will be 70 years after death, for authors who died before 1989 it will generally last until the year 2039. Copyright in photographs and artistic works was generally 50 years from the production of the work, and is being extended to 70 years from the death of the artist. Duration of Crown copyright is different: for unpublished text created before 1989, 125 years after creation or the year 2039, whichever is later; for most published text, 50 years from publication; for published or unpublished photographs taken before 1957, 50 years.
There is copyright in the typography of a written work. This lasts 25 years from publication, even if the work is otherwise out of copyright. There is also copyright in the arrangement of material in an edition, compilation, abstract or transcript - even if all the words in the new work come from other works which are out of copyright. Copyright in an edition is the same as that in a new work - it will become 70 years from the death of the editor. But the editor's copyright does not supersede that of the original author. Under European Community Directives, the compiler of a computer database will have a right to prevent unfair extraction for 15 years, even if the material in the database is otherwise out of copyright. A Statutory Instrument is required before this becomes law in the UK. Copyright commences when a work is recorded - on paper, as a photograph or sound or video or film, or in a computer.
Obtaining one copy of any material for your research is usually permitted by the law. The 1988 Act says "Fair dealing with a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work for the purpose of research or private study does not infringe any copyright in the work or, in the case of a published edition, in the typographical arrangement". ("Fair dealing" is not defined - publishers and authors associations have suggested that one chapter of a book, or 5% if more, is acceptable).
Librarians or archivists are allowed to make one copy of a magazine article, or part of a published work, or all of an unpublished work, for research or private study. There are some detailed conditions, usually contained in a paper which you sign when applying for photocopies. Note that a copy shop may rightly refuse to copy material which a librarian is allowed to copy under "librarian's privilege". The Copyright Licensing Agency (on its Internet pages) claims that fair dealing and librarian's privilege only allow photocopies, not electronic copies, so the use of scanners and optical character recognition may infringe copyright. The owner of a document or artistic work may impose conditions for allowing access or copying, even if the copyright is held by someone else, or the work is out of copyright. Some documents in county record offices are private property, with copying conditions set by their owners - you may be allowed to make notes but not obtain photocopies.
Almost any family history, guide to sources, transcript or index derives from material which has been recorded in the past by someone else. So you have to consider the copyright aspects of work you publish. And "publishing" includes making a few copies for private distribution. If a work is out of copyright, you can quote as much as you like without permission. If a work is out of copyright and published over 25 years ago, you can publish all of it in facsimile without permission from the publisher (because the copyright in typography lasts 25 years).
If a work is in copyright, any quotation of a substantial extract requires permission from the copyright holder. "Substantial" is not defined in the Act. The test is much more about whether it is an important part of the original work, whether using the quotation saves the second author time in writing, whether the new work competes with the original one, rather than the quantity of what has been used. There is case law about what is substantial, and what is fair dealing - see legal texts on copyright law for details. If the quotation is fair dealing, for purposes of criticism or review, no permission is needed. You must acknowledge the author and title of the work quoted. The Society of Authors and Publishers Association have stated that a single extract up to 400 words, or a series of extracts (none over 300 words) totalling up to 800 words would be regarded as fair dealing if quoted in the context of criticism or review. One test is how much of your own comment you have added - a 2000 word quotation with 20,000 words of your own commentary and review would probably be acceptable as fair dealing.
The copyright in a literary work (i.e. anything recorded in letters and digits) is in the words used, not the information and ideas. This does not mean that you can simply recast the sentences to avoid infringing copyright, but if you state the information in your own original way you are creating your own work. The book by Cavendish, mentioned above, says it is permissible to quote "information from our common stock of knowledge" from almanacs, catalogues, directories etc. You may publish a previously unpublished literary work which was created over 100 years ago if the author has been dead for more than 70 years, the copyright owner is not known, and the work is open to public inspection, for example in a record office. This is a provision of the 1956 Copyright Act still in force as a "transitional provision" of the 1988 Act.
It is always advisable to ask the advice of the archivist or librarian holding a document before publishing substantial extracts from it. Whatever you quote, you must consider the conditions upon which you obtained your copy originally. You may require permission from the owner of the document you copy - this is separate from copyright.
A family history is likely to consist of quotations or rewordings of short extracts from a number of different documents, together with a substantial amount of your own text. You can publish this without infringing copyright, and without obtaining permission. If you write an article based on one particular source document, with substantial quotations from it, you will have to be aware of the copyright position. Is the work in copyright? What conditions were made when you obtained your copy? Is your quotation fair dealing, within your review of the material? You can publish copies of almost all family photographs and portraits executed before 1989, with permission from the family member who inherited them. Copyright in photos belonged to the person commissioning the photo or if not commissioned to the person owning the film. Copyright in a portrait belonged to the person commissioning it. For newspaper photographs less than 70 years old, you should ask the publisher of the newspaper.
I believe that the best advice here is to ask the archivist holding the document. There is usually a straightforward procedure, and in most cases a transcript and index is welcomed because it reduces wear on the original document, or reduces the time taken by readers scanning through frame after frame of microfilm. Crown copyright still subsists in census records and most other public documents in the PRO and GRO (Scotland). You may freely copy extracts of this material for your own private research purposes, but written permission is required to publish transcripts or to make multiple copies. HMSO's Copyright Unit has standard permissions and contracts for all kinds of projects involving census data.
When your work is published, you normally retain the ownership of the copyright, but grant the publisher a licence to make copies in serial form (e.g. in a magazine) or volume form (e.g. as a book). There are other forms - electronic, audio cassette, translation, etc. The licence may specify areas of the world; on books, U.S. rights are often treated separately because of their importance in general publishing. If publishing as a book there will usually be a written contract, which specifies the terms of the copyright licence in great detail. The Society of Authors leaflet on publishing contracts (mentioned above) gives useful advice. If publishing in an academic journal, you may have to assign copyright to the publisher (this can only be done in writing); it is hard for an individual to resist this demand. If publishing in a family or local history or other learned magazine, run commercially or by a society, there will usually not be a written contract. If you submit an article to a magazine you are offering the magazine an immediate licence to publish it on their standard terms, which will usually include the right to republish the pages of the magazine in other forms such as microfiche or on CD-ROM. If the article is published and you (the author) want to offer part or all later to another magazine, you need permission from the publisher of the first magazine. It is usual for the later article to refer to the first one. If you specify that you are offering "First British serial rights" you can publish the material in a book after it has appeared in the magazine, and can offer it to magazines published outside Britain. In the UK and most other countries, copyright protection is automatic as soon as work is recorded. Make sure that your name and the date are recorded within the work. The copyright symbol © (c in a circle) followed by your name and the year of publication provides copyright protection in some other countries, in accordance with the Universal Copyright Convention.

DENVER — The regular-season co-champions will get another shot at each other.
Lincolnton and Lake Norman Charter won their Southern Piedmont 1A/2A Conference girls basketball tournament semifinals Tuesday at East Lincoln to set up a rubber match between the two on Friday.
The title game is set for 6:30 p.m. Friday at East Lincoln and will precede the boys championship game.
"We split during the regular season and it should be a great game and a great atmosphere," Lincolnton coach Jimmy Carr said. "It's one of those bragging rights games."
Lincolnton (20-4) won the first meeting 47-42 while Lake Norman Charter (20-4) rolled in the rematch, 61-34.
"It'll be a good game," Lake Norman Charter coach Bobby Williams said. "They've got good shooters, good ballhandlers and they play good defense."
Lincolnton won the draw for the top seed in this week's tournament, but both teams will be No. 1 seeds from the SPC in next week's state playoffs — Lincolnton in Class 2A and Lake Norman Charter in 1A.
Lincolnton 55, West Lincoln 43 — The old saying says it's tough to beat a good team three times in one season. How about four?
Lincolnton had won the first two rivalry meetings by nine and three points, but four days after beating the Rebels by 29 in the season's third matchup, Lincolnton had to survive a dogfight in Tuesday's last semifinal. Fourth-seeded West Lincoln led by one with 5 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter before Lincolnton made a run to create some space that lasted the rest of the way.
"Friday night we played them and we were hitting some shots," Carr said. "We knew if they packed in that zone and we weren't hitting those same shots, it was going to go down to the wire."
Alexis Killian scored 16 points to lead the Wolves while Bridget Derr and Treasure Avery added 13 points each for Lincolnton.
West Lincoln took a brief 30-29 lead at the 5:39 mark of the third quarter before Lincolnton rattled off a 16-3 run spanning the third and fourth quarters for a 45-33 advantage. Lincolnton held the Rebels to seven points for the first 12 minutes of the second half.
West Lincoln got 11 points from Taylor Sutton and 10 from Rebecca Owens. The Rebels (11-13) still own the league's No. 3 seed for next week's 2A state playoffs.
Lake Norman Charter 74, North Lincoln 53 — Alex Busch scored 22 points to lead the regular-season co-champions to a victory in Tuesday's first semifinal.
