3.07 per cent of valid votes went to NOTA in Chhattisgarh, 0.63 per cent in Delhi
Political parties have chosen to remain indifferent to 'None of the Above' (NOTA), an option given to voters for the first time to reject all contestants, saying it is irrelevant because it did not impact the outcome of the recent Assembly elections.
While in Chhattisgarh, 3.07 per cent of the valid votes went to NOTA — the highest among the four States for which results were declared on Sunday — in Delhi, it was 0.63 per cent. Voters in Mizoram did not find the option interesting: very few exercised the choice, with figures ranging from 36 to less than 200 hits.
Interestingly, in Chhattisgarh even a marginal difference in vote share makes or mars government formation. This time, the difference is less than 0.75 per cent between the winning Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress).
For some, the trend means that parties should put up acceptable candidates and avoid dubious ones, but parties say that since it does not impact the outcome, it is irrelevant. "All it [NOTA] has done is to give voters a right to exercise, which is a fundamental right; but there was neither clarity on what it meant nor its consequences," D. Raja of the Communist Party of India told The Hindu.
Going through the results for every State, it is obvious that in more than 60 per cent of the constituencies, the third highest number of votes went to NOTA. This suggests that the option attracted those who never go to vote — possibly out of disenchantment with the system — and provided voters with an opportunity to express themselves rather than abstaining.
The NOTA's figures in the Left Wing Extremists-dominated areas of Bastar may as well be an expression of disenchantment with electoral politics, as espoused by the Maoists, as it may be an individual voter's dislike for the candidates in fray in places like Chitrakot, where more than 10,000 voters chose the option. In the Konta constituency in Chhattisgarh, where CPI candidate Manish Kunjam secured third position, the difference of votes was just 2,100, whereas 4,000 voters chose NOTA.
Agreeing that some of those who opted for NOTA could have voted for a party if NOTA was not there, Mr. Raja said it was too early to say what made people choose NOTA, instead of abstaining. "Maybe, anxiety or lack of clarity."Interestingly, the percentage of NOTA voters was high in the tribal belts of Rajasthan, compared with urban areas. The total percentage of NOTA in the State was 1.92 per cent.
According to the Election Commission, the tribal district of Dungarpur in south Rajasthan tops the list of 33 districts where the maximum NOTA voting was recorded. Madhya Pradesh recorded 1.92 per cent votes on NOTA.

Notice a trend?
I read with amusement how Tebow's brother Tweeted how happy he was that the team that let Tim go in favor of Peyton Manning - the Denver Broncos - was ousted by the Baltimore Ravens this past weekend. Classy move, bro.
What Tebow Nation - that bitter corner of the globe characterized by perpetual unrest and dissatisfaction - fails to recognize is that its boy is not a factor. Never has one football player been so lionized out of proportion to his meager accomplishments.
He was a great college player. Granted. But he couldn't beat out Mark Sanchez on the New York Jets even when Sanchez was awful. And when it came time to replace Sanchez, the Jets elevated Greg McElroy over Tebow.
New Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell came out a few days ago and silenced speculation that Tebow was Jacksonville-bound when he said: "I can't imagine a scenario where he'd be a Jacksonville Jaguar." Can't imagine it, which is quite a statement. After all, I could at least imagine it; I just know it won't become a reality. Caldwell can't even imagine it, using his imagination. Talk about a diss.
Here's the real difference between Peyton Manning and Tim Tebow: Manning has been one of the top three to five quarterbacks in the NFL since he came into the league in 1998, he has one Super Bowl ring, and he's a certain Hall of Famer, whereas the Jaguars GM can't imagine Tebow on his team.
I imagine Tebow's brother has yet to accept that cold reality.
Bad strategy by Armstrong
The only surprise that could possibly come out of an interview with Lance Armstrong is if he came out and said, "I'm taking my talents to South Beach."
Otherwise, Monday's taping of an interview with Oprah is a misguided lunge at career resurrection. And I don't mean Oprah's. I understand completely why she would consent to it. It's television after all.
But is this the best course of action for Armstrong after years and years of lying to the public? He finally got nabbed, so now he figures one high-profile TV interview with a celebrity host is going to restore the old magic and remove the stain he imposed on a positive organization like Livestrong?
Armstrong needs less spotlight, not more. He should drop out of sight, embrace a new pursuit - preferably something with a completely altruistic purpose that doesn't have his name emblazoned on it - and rebuild his life.
Instead it seems his ego is far too gargantuan for that. There was too much damage done for any damage control now. And he can't help himself. He still thinks he can charm people into believing him.
In the case of Lance Armstrong, "The Decision" to confess to Oprah on TV is a mockery of a travesty of a sham, to quote Woody Allen. Armstrong can still pedal. But this he can't peddle.
Lakers are becoming unwatchable
I don't really have an answer to cure the Los Angeles Lakers from a basketball standpoint. Their problems are too numerous. Sometimes a natural disaster encounters problems with looting, disease and scam artists. The Lakers' situation isn't exactly like that - other than the natural disaster part - but they do have many issues and few answers, despite beating a lame Cleveland club on Sunday night to end a skid at six games.
But in terms of marketing the Lakers, that's a little easier. They can just take a tip from their neighbors, the Clippers.
Today the Clippers are 28-9, the second-best record in the NBA behind the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kudos to the current Clips. But there was a time not long ago when they were an incompetent clown show and had to practically plead with people to buy tickets and attend their games.
One way the Clips did succeed in putting fannies in seats was to sell the other team. "Come see Michael Jordan and the Bulls play in person!" Or: "Buy a package of three Texas teams and see some real gunslingin' basketball!"
Most of the time it worked. Fans who couldn't get Laker tickets would jump at the chance to see exciting basketball - played by the opposing team.
This is where the Lakers find themselves now. There's really no reason for fans to go see them. In fact, superfan Jack Nicholson, along with pal Adam Sandler, even walked out with over seven minutes left in Friday night's blowout loss against OKC.
Mobile QBs are on a collision course
There's a fascinating evolution going on in football, involving contradictory elements.
On the one hand, you have Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson, Robert Griffin III and college counterparts like Johnny Manziel and Marcus Mariota who are changing the game with spread-option elements and athleticism. The game of football seems to be headed behind these pioneers offensively, and defenses will have to change and adapt in order to deal with them.
On the other, you have a greater emphasis on preventing injuries, especially head injuries.
So you have quarterbacks more inclined to run, creating more opportunities for collisions at a time when football is trying to prevent them.
Yes, many of these upwardly mobile QBs have both the skill and the sense to avoid getting hit. But accidents happen, and the more chances they take running with the football, the more likely it is they'll take a serious blow.
What figures to happen eventually is that, because there is so much money invested in star quarterbacks, defenses will be de-fanged. It won't be flag football, but it'll be close.
When free-wheeling signal-callers and predatory defenses meet face to face, something's got to give. And it will.
A game of pepper:
- Why is it that when Bill Belichick really should hold one of those giant play cards in front of his face when he's about to say something, he doesn't?
- The Philadelphia Eagles have officially interviewed enough head-coaching candidates to quality as a job fair.
- Before Sunday's game, J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans reportedly spit on the Patriots' logo during warm-ups. I bet that served as bulletin board material in the groundskeepers' lockerroom.
- Manti Te'O's father is miffed at the Honolulu Star-Advertiser and threatened to withhold interviews and urge others to unsubscribe because it printed a photo showing his son on the ground as Alabama RB Eddie Lacy romps by with the headline, "Bowled Over." In defense of the paper, I'm sure they wanted to use a shot of Te'O standing up and making a tackle in that game, but just couldn't find one.
- The trick in Washington D.C. later this year is to see if Robert Griffin III returns to the Redskins before Stephen Strasburg gets shut down by the Nationals.
- For years now I've been doing that move every time I finish a column. I didn't know it was called "Kaepernicking."

Mayhem # 3282263
About MeI had been kind of a nerd. I would read my comics every day, play computer games and watch YouTube videos for hours. At the same time, my friends, who played computer games like me, where bigger and stronger than me. I was also an athlete. I played football and trained karate. But in order to succeed in sports you have to be in amazing shape and strength.Whenever I would see a jacked dude walk by and all the girls would just be staring, that's what I wanted to be. I was tired of being one of the smallest kids and wanted the satisfaction that comes from successful weight training. I wanted to have something that was different than others.
When I started secondary school, no one ever even mentioned the sport of bodybuilding. You will not find it in most secondary schools or high schools. I have always been somewhat different than other kids, just because I know what I like and what I don't like.When I started, I bought posters of bodybuilders for my room so I could look at them while I did my novice workouts. Back than I had no idea what I was doing, all I knew was that I want to be bigger and stronger. Patience and dedication! In order to achieve your goals you must be obsessed and dedicated. I started to buy Muscle & Fitness magazines. At the same time I was watching for protein and creatine drinks. Initially it was all about training.
Every day I look forward to going to the gym. The gym shouldn't be something you dread to do. It should be something you can't wait to do. The gym isn't a time to hang out with your friends - it's a time to get aesthetic. I started to eat 6 times per day and tried not to eat junk food. My family helped me with motivation and getting the results.This all resulted in big changes in my life. I fell in love with the sport and the lifestyle more and more as I went along. Also when I'm in the gym, I pump reps out until I reach failure. I love the feeling after my workout, when my muscles are pumped.
It took me four years to change my body from skinny to muscular. Now I'm very happy about my body. I don`t want to stop doing this, only go for better results.
I have little expierence in clothes modeling and underwear modeling. My dream is to become a fitness model. I hope this site will help me get some shoots, because from were I come - Latvia, fitness modeling isn`t so popular and people/photographers don`t take fitness photoshoots.

Latest Canadian Lynx Stories
As wolf populations grow in parts of the West, most of the focus has been on their value in aiding broader ecosystem recovery – but a new study from Oregon State University also points out that they could play an important role in helping to save other threatened species.
Synchronicity in nature is seen in beating hearts, the flashing of fireflies' lights, the ebb and flow of infectious disease—and the simultaneous rise and fall of populations across vast reaches of space.
It was only five years ago that some biologists declared lynx all but eliminated from Minnesota. But when they started looking hard, researchers found lynx across St. Louis, Lake and Cook counties of northeastern Minnesota. Last year, a lynx den was discovered in Minnesota for the first time in more than 20 years.
The audience of about 30 people watching four Canada lynx dash from their metal carriers and scamper through knee-deep snow on the edge of the Weminuche wilderness Tuesday included several federal scientists and officials.
Citing the success of a six-year, $2.5 million state program to transplant the endangered lynx from Canada, state officials want the federal government to lift land use restrictions designed to protect the cat's habitat.
The year ended happily for state biologists with news that six more lynx kittens have been born to transplanted lynx in Colorado, bringing the total of newborns to 36 this year and 52 since a reintroduction program began in 1999.

The bobcat (Lynx rufus, or commonly Felis rufus) is a wild cat native to North America. They are found mostly in the United States, southern Canada, and Northern Mexico. The bobcat is an adaptable animal that inhabits wooded areas as well as semi-desert, urban, and swampland environments. They live in a set home range that shifts in size with the season. They utilize several methods to mark their territorial boundaries including claw marks and deposits of urine or feces. In appearance, the...
The Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis) is a close relative of the Eurasian Lynx. The Canada Lynx is more similar to the Bobcat than to the Eurasian Lynx. This cat is found in northern forests across almost all of Canada and Alaska. In addition there are large lynx populations in Montana, Idaho and Washington. The Canada Lynx is rare in Utah, Minnesota, and New England. Reintroduction efforts in Colorado have been ongoing since 1999, with the first wild-born kittens confirmed in 2003. There...
The Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus, sometimes Felis pardina) - sometimes referred to as the Spanish Lynx. It used to be often miss-classified as a subspecies of the Eurasian Lynx, but it is now regarded as a separate species. While the Eurasian Lynx bears rather pallid markings, the Iberian Lynx has distinctive, leopard-like spots. The Iberian Lynx is smaller than its northern relative. It does not usually hunt animals larger than hares and rabbits as its main prey. However, as the population...
The Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx) is a medium-sized cat of European and Siberian forests. It is one of the major predators. It has grey to reddish fur with black spots. The pattern of the fur is variable. Lynxes prey on hares, rodents, foxes, and even roe deer.
- An uxorious, effeminate, or spiritless man.
- A timorous, cowardly fellow.

High-Loan-to-Value Lending:
Information on Loans Exceeding Home Value
GGD-98-169: Published: Aug 13, 1998. Publicly Released: Sep 14, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8678
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on high-loan-to-value (HLTV) loans, focusing on the: (1) characteristics of HLTV loans; (2) major organizations that provided HLTV lending; (3) volume of HLTV lending in 1995, 1996, and 1997, and the expected volume in 1998; and (4) benefits and risks of HLTV lending for borrowers, lenders, investors, and regulated depository institutions.
GAO noted that: (1) HLTV loans are considered hybrid loans because they have characteristics of both mortgage loans and unsecured consumer loans; (2) like mortgages, HLTV loans are secured by a lien on a house; (3) however, the lien itself may have less financial value than the amount of the loan in the event of a borrower's defaulting since the value of the HLTV loan and the original mortgage may exceed the value of the house; (4) thus, as with unsecured consumer loans, HLTV lenders rely more heavily on borrowers' creditworthiness; (5) according to industry officials, most borrowers use HLTV loans primarily to consolidate credit card debt or make home improvements; (6) while comprehensive industry data were not available, data provided by a lender responsible for about one-third of HLTV lending showed that, in 1997, HLTV loans averaged about $30,000; (7) the data also showed that the average contract interest rate was between 13 and 14 percent, with an average loan term of 25 years; (8) according to industry officials and GAO's review of the limited available industry data, from 1995 to 1997, HLTV loans were made or managed primarily by 10 institutions; (9) according to public- and private-sector officials, regulated depository institutions were not heavily involved in originating HLTV loans; (10) the involvement of these institutions would be important to any assessment of the potential exposure of federal deposit insurance funds to defaults of HLTV loans; (11) data indicate that HLTV lending has grown since its introduction in 1995 but remains small relative to other consumer lending; (12) data on the volume of HLTV loans were limited to those loans that were subsequently packaged into loan pools used to back securities sold to investors; (13) the volume of securitized HLTV lending has more than doubled from year to year from 1995 through 1997; (14) industry and securities firm representatives expected HLTV lending to increase again in 1998 to $12 billion or higher; (15) public- and private-sector officials pointed to several benefits and risks associated with HLTV lending to the borrower, lender, and investors; (16) while lenders and investors have benefited from the high rate of return on these loans, it is uncertain how these loans would perform during any future economic downturn; (17) if defaults were to increase, the rate of return would decrease; and (18) officials representing the two largest government-sponsored enterprises did not believe that HLTV lending posed greater risks to their portfolios than the existing credit card lending that the HLTV lending generally refinances.

CEDARVILLE — A major campaign to tell the Cedarville University story to prospective college students is underway at Cedarville University. The "High School Blitz" campaign is designed to put University leaders in front of high school principals, guidance counselors and pastors.
Cedarville has experienced record enrollments in each of the last four years. With enrollment high, the university wants to continue that momentum by sharing its story to key audiences across the nation. The strategy, which began last November and resumed earlier this month, is helping with student inquiries for 2014-15. Currently, Cedarville has more student interest at this point in the year than at anytime during the record-setting years.
The first blitz campaign took place in November 2013, and now there are six teams traveling throughout the country in February and March. In total, more than 100 schools and churches will participate in the program between Feb. 3 and March 7 — a total of close to 5,000 miles.
"The blitz campaign has been successful this year because we've been able to connect with church and school leaders who understand the value of a truly Christ-centered education," said Bruce Traeger, director of church relations and the coordinator for all of the trips.
Below is a list of areas where the blitz teams are traveling: Dr. John Gredy, provost, and Bruce Traeger, director of church relations to Fort Wayne and Indianapolis, Ind.; Jim Amstutz, director of event services, and Loren Kuhn, event manager to Grand Rapids, Mich.; Gredy and Traeger on March 3-6 to Lexington, Ky, Springfield and Peoria, Ill.; Janice Supplee, vice president of enrollment management and marketing, and Amy Holderby, director of admissions went to Cleveland, Akron, Canton; Roscoe Smith, associate vice president of university admissions, and Mark Weinstein, executive director of public relations went to Toledo, Ohio and Detroit, Mich.; Jeff Reep, director of career services, and Weinstein will travel March 4-7 to Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia, Penn.

What's A Sweet Young Thing Like You Doing With This Motley Crew?
Getting off to a slow start, but at least it's a start, and will serve to get this show on the road. All who participated (and quit trying to hide those guilty faces) are invited to add photos and comments along the way.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
And so we begin -
Several days before it all came together, one of our resident idiots, who shall remain anonymous in this narrative, obviously under the influence of demon rum or some other despicable concoction, suggested that it would be a good idea to get several riders together for a little ride to Deadhorse, Alaska a destination that successfully defies any worthwhile reason for attracting travelers, or even existing, other than to separate oil conglomerates from a tiny fraction of their monumental profits, and to bilk any tourists foolish enough to venture to that desolate location on the... ha-ha... shores of Prudhoe Bay.
The initial idiot, not alone in that descriptive condition, soon found several similarly afflicted inmates from the dregs of society that frequent the forum known as ADVRider, specifically in that section reserved for those sentenced to reside in the state of Alaska (which is a terrible state to be in, aside from the location), or known to communicate with the aforementioned residents, and the list began to grow. One innocent female newcomer, totally unaware of the depraved condition she would later witness among said residents, asked permission to accompany this growing group of misfits. Permission was granted, and snickers were heard emanating from several sources, as the macho ADVRiders looked forward to yet another female rider finding out the hard way - that riding the Dalton Highway is a MAN'S game, and not for the weaker sex. Little did they know.
Eventually, due to that "w" word, and attrition due to other reasons (perhaps a well-developed sense of foreboding?) the group was narrowed down to two in the advance guard (who claimed to be fishing, but gave evidence of wisely wanting to disassociate themselves from the rest ) and five bringing up the rear.
That group consisted of the following: Annette, a young lady who knew where she was going; had a pretty good idea of how she would get there; and a rough idea of when she would get there. Her trip had dual purposes. This from her blog: "Starting Autumn 2008 I am going to ride from Alaska to Argentina in the hopes of raising money and awareness for Casa Alianza a Central and South American Children's Charity." Her blog is found at: http://www.alaska2argentina.co.uk/
The motley crew, listed below in no particular order.
Istvan (the a is supposed to have some kind of a little mark above it, and his name is pronounced EEST von), a young man who knew roughly where he was going, but wasn't in any particular hurry to get to his destination.
Russell, a young man from Texas who had places to go and see, and was well organized and doing it all in good order.
Craig, a gentleman from Florida who had already come a long way both in life and on this trip and was doing a remarkably good job of getting where he meant to go.
And lastly, yer humble scribe, an old phart who rarely has any idea where he is going; is still unsure of what he will be when he grows up; and is rather doubtful that he has ever embraced the concept of growing up in the first place.
Five bikes = 12 cylinders.
As varied as the riders, were the motorcycles upon which they intended to conquer the Haul Road. Annette rode a Suzuki DR650, a bike she had first seen less than a week earlier, shortly after arriving on a flight from England to pick up her new conveyance in Anchorage and head toward Argentina. By the time she prepared to ride north from Fairbanks, the little Zook still had accumulated fewer than one thousand miles on its odometer.
Istvan had arrived in Alaska on a KLR650, but it had suffered terminal mechanical problems and had recently been replaced with a 1995 BMW R1100GS. This motorcycle had been ridden nearly as little by its new owner as Annette's had been by its only owner. Now Istvan was going to find out if he had made a good purchase... or if he should have found a donor engine for his KLR.
Russell was mounted on a late-model BMW R1200GS Adventure, and obviously packed for adventure, as he had everything with him to exist for days along wilderness highways.
Craig had ridden north from Florida on his GL1800 Gold Wing, pulling a streamlined two-wheeled trailer painted in matching maroon. At least it was maroon when he left Fairbanks. Why anyone would want to inflict the Dalton Highway on a beautiful, shiny Gold Wing is for the rest of us to wonder, but it is done by a few riders annually.
Yer's truly was mounted on his so far-trusty '02 KLR650, a bike that had successfully carried his sorry behind to Deadhorse and back home once before, and was now being asked to repeat that thankless task. Since my home is a mere 750 miles from Deadhorse, my departure toward Fairbanks could be later than the rest, who had farther to travel. And as is my wont, I was 2 hours behind schedule when I hit the road, which provided me with an excuse to make haste. Still, one has to stop for photos of stunning scenes, regardless of schedules. Even with many, many sights of Rainbow Ridge over the years, it still attracts my attention, regardless of the weather conditions. Today, while clouds were flowing down part of it as though they were a waterfall, the sun spotlighted some areas on the lower slopes -
The rest of the scenes through Isabel Pass are safely stored in the dim recesses of this rider's cranium, ready to be pulled up for further examination and enjoyment in the midst of a future cold, dark winter.
In Fairbanks, a few of the denizens of that northern city braved the drizzle and rain that had the Chena River nearly out of its banks to meet with us at College Town Pizza for a bout of tire kicking, dining, and telling lies. John and Jeff were waiting in the parking lot when I rode in from Glennallen. Istvan pulled in shortly after my own arrival, and Kevin drove up in his cage (we'll overlook that social blunder this once ).
Jeff, Kevin (back to the camera), and Istvan check out the latter's GS
John, Istvan, and Kevin carry on a conversation with someone off camera.
Shortly after ordering some victuals and beverages, Annette and Russell arrived and introductions all around were completed. Being that the 250 mile ride had left this rider half-starved and even more absent-minded than usual, the camera was left in its idle state and no photos were taken of pizza fixings stuck to chins or draped over garments of contrasting colors. But surely you all have witnessed such things in the past, so use your imaginations.
Thursday night, after the get-together over pizza, 4 of us found our way eventually to the campus of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks where we rented rooms for a bargain price thanks to Kevin alerting us to their availability. In my own defense, I want to point out that I had told the others that I knew my way through Fairbanks, and could find Wal-Mart from anywhere in the city, but never made claims to knowing my way around the campus. So the fact that we took the grand tour of UAF is not my fault.
The dorm rooms were clean and quiet, better than the rooms in Deadhorse, and just $32 for one person, $38 for two. Our thanks to Kevin for turning us on to this situation, which we also took advantage of when we returned to Fairbanks
Friday Morning, August 8
Since the earlier excuse of being too hungry to function seems to have worked thus far, it will be called into play yet again, so there are no photos of the five of us taking advantage of the huge servings placed in front of us at Hilltop, some 5.5 miles north of Fox, or 16 miles from Fairbanks, on the Elliott Highway. But after a few cups of coffee and some sustenance, a walk across the sizable parking lot led us to these photos of an extremely wide load that was obviously destined for the Haul Road -
A quick glance at the number of tires on the ground indicated that this load was heavy as well as wide, and the presence of these two "pusher" tractors to help it up the steep grades confirmed that suspicion -
This is what the back end of the blue tractor, the Kenworth T800 Heavy Hauler, looks like. The large box on the back end is ballast - heavy weight to afford the drive tires traction. The plate below that is where the following tractor pushes as they all strain together to devy gravity on places like Roller Coaster Hill, Chandalar Shelf, and Atigun Pass.
Then came the moment when it was time to bid the pavement good-bye (with sinking hearts on the part of more than one rider, I suspect) and take the first uphill lefthander to who-knows-what -
Being the self-appointed photographer on this jaunt (which made it easier for me to zoom ahead on the pretext of getting set for a great shot, when really I was intent on being the first one to the restroom) I was in position as the other four came up and around, surely wondering what they had gotten themselves into -
But all continued on, albeit at widely varying velocities, as those mounted on the BMW R-bikes disappeared over the horizon and Craig began to seriously doubt his own sanity. For a while I stayed behind the Gold Wing and trailer, but handling the KLR at such slow speeds became too difficult and I hurried on ahead to keep watch over Annette. She, in turn, was beginning to collect photos to commemorate her ride to the Arctic Ocean, one shot at a time -
All the rides had been coached to pull far to the right whenever meeting a truck on any narrow portion of the road, and Annette was exceedingly diligent in that practice. I'm sure the drivers appreciated her efforts -
In no time at all, it seemed, we were riding down the Yukon River Bridge to the north side, where we briefly visited the BLM Information Center and Annette filled her fuel tank with "petrol" at Yukon River Camp across the way.

Last time I pulled up at Hilltop early in the morning the lot was deserted but for a couple cop cars. I wheeled over to the pumps and they were shut off so I walked toward the front door and one of the cops says "what are you doing?"
Turns out they'd just been robbed and the boys in blue weren't out to search and destroy some Hilltop donuts...
I fired up the 950 and limped off on fumes.

Part Two, Deux, Dos, Etc.
We resume our narration at the BLM Information Center, where our heroine, freshly filled petrol tank clutched tightly between her thighs, parks her bike and avails herself of the facilities placed there for travelers' convenience.
Allow me to backtrack a few miles here, and relate some of the events from the prior 56 miles of the Dalton Hwy. It had been interesting, following Craig on his Gold Wing and trailer. This was his first foray onto gravel, and it was obvious that he was nervous, as he had every right to be. For a while I was afraid he would soon end up festooning the grille of a southbound semi-tractor, as he was taking his share of the road from whatever portion seemed to offer the least likelihood of setting his bike on its side. A northbound State Trooper pickup had to pull far to the left to pass the Gold Wing, and I was actually surprised he didn't stop to inquire as to Craig's sobriety. But it may have been that he was aware of the difficulty in piloting a large touring bike on this sort of surface. Either that, or he was late for his donut break. That was one of those times that I was really wishing for a helmet cam, as I was leery of trying to take photos one-handed while on the move at such slow speeds.
Annette, meanwhile, was having no trouble at all exploring the performance potential of her DR650. Flying uphill on the beautiful paved stretch between Mile 37 and Mile 49.5, my KLR was falling behind despite my best effort toward snapping the throttle pull cable. Had the run to Deadhorse been uphill all the way (as was my walk to school as a child, when I trudged through 10' deep snow - both ways) Annette would have been there and gone before I ever arrived.
Now to proceed from where the first paragraph left off -
Craig must have been gaining confidence as he rode, as it wasn't long after the rest of us were assembled at the BLM site that he pulled in. Russell had been chatting with the driver of a tour bus that was stopped at the information site, and she broadly hinted that Hot Spot, just up the road, was a good place to get a meal. So after a brief conference, we decided to take a quick run up the road to Hot Spot ourselves for a bite to eat, then return to finish viewing the displays. Arriving just ahead of the busload of geriatric tourists (I should talk - but I am a geriatric motorcyclist, there's a difference.) we had our orders in and were already seated when they began to queue up to receive their lunches.
Craig's Wing and trailer, the last motorcycle to arrive at Hot Spot, but he beat the bus.
Ahead of the rush -
The calm before the storm - just before the hungry throngs arrived -
Enjoying the meal -
A lush garden spot in this short growing season -
Not all the passengers from the bus were of the geriatric persuasion -
Then, lunch completed, while Craig proceeded to the Arctic Circle, the faster four rode back to the Information Center to finish viewing the informational displays there.
It had been my intention for some time to get one or two photos that illustrated the depth and steepness of Roller Coaster Hill near Mile 76, and with other riders along this seemed like the ideal opportunity. Of course, just as I was about to descend into its depths in preparation for the photo shoot, along came the heaviest concentration of traffic we encountered during the entire trip. At least 6 vehicles in a row passed going southbound before I could even start down the hill. But once I was there and set, the riders started coming my way. Apparently the bravest (although there is the distinct possibility the other two gave him a shove), Russell came first, followed by Annette, with Istvan following to pick up the pieces of bikes and riders should it be more dangerous than it appeared.
Successful in surmounting that obstacle, we hastened on slowly (well, you weren't there, so how can you say we didn't do it just as I stated?) to the viewpoint west of Mile 86.6.
Another obligatory stop (both for the view and for the multiple restrooms) is the Finger Mountain wayside. The same bus that had arrived behind us at Hot Spot was already there, with its disgorged passengers milling around the parking lot; a few of them off on the short nearby trails to get different photos.
(Part 3 to follow, and then Part 5, with maybe a Part 4 in there somewhere if I don't get sidetracked)

The 3rd Part
Just as we were preparing to pull out of the BLM site at the Yukon River, a Chevrolet sedan had pulled part way in, then turned around to head back out. It sat there in the drive as our string of motorcycles got onto the highway, and as I passed I noted the Argentina license plate. Interesting, and one of those things that happens only in Alaska. Here was Annette, getting started on her ride to Argentina, and right next to her was an Argentinian finishing his trip to Alaska. Now, our bikes parked at the Finger Mt wayside, this same Chevrolet pulled in and the driver got out. It wasn't long before he was surrounded by people from the tour bus, all full of questions. One lady tourist, apparently from some Spanish-speaking country herself, conversed with him at length. As it turned out, we saw this same car and driver several times in the next day and a half. Reminded me of the days when the Alcan was all gravel, travel there was slower, and you would play leap frog with the same bunch of vehicles for three or four days in a row, until you felt like neighbors.
As we found out later, the driver's name was Gabriel F. Storchi, and he was on a pilgrimage of sorts. He had already been traveling for months, and was keeping up a blog as he went. His website is at:
http://www.alaskaacaballo.com.ar/ And translated into English: http://translate.google.com/translate?client=tmpg&hl=en&u=http://www.alaskaacaballo.com.ar/&langpair=es|en
We also learned not to park our bikes so close together. Whenever we left them alone for an appreciable length of time, we would come back and find more bikes than when we left. While at Finger Mt the number was increased by one BMW R-bike, and one KLR650. The Beemer rider was from the South 48, but the KLR rider was definitely from across the pond. His accent was so broad that I would have had to ask him to repeat every third sentence. Annette, however, speaking the same strange tongue (when will the British ever learn to speak proper English? ) conversed with him quite easily, and I believe they were each actually able to understand what the other was saying.
Having paid many a visit to the spot without taking a single photo of the namesake geologic feature, I zoomed the lens out to avoid having to walk more than a couple of feet, and took this one -
And now it was time to ride the final 16 miles to the Arctic Circle, the turn-around point for the majority of riders perhaps indicating their superior intellect. Arriving there, we found the spot to be quite popular, and everyone seemed to be content with taking turns posing for photos in front of, or next to, the sign. Finding the backside vacant, I took my own shot of that surface. It was instantly obvious, even to my untrained eye, that we were not the first ones to arrive there.
And then, the front side of the sign still being posed against, I decided to see what all this activity looked like from the sign's point of view.
The young man (ya gotta remember, at my age any male under the age of 40 is a young man) on the right seems to be giving instructions on the use of his camera to the gentleman in the red jacket in order to have his photo taken by the sign. There is a lot of that at this site, as families often want the group shot to include all of them. If I'm not mistaken (and this is my narrative, so I'm not, even if I am) he is the rider who added his GS to our numbers at Finger Mt.
Then Annette posed for her Arctic Circle photo to add to her blog when she gets the opportunity.
And one more, with the whole group, except for the photographer, who knows which side of the lens he belongs on. Istvan, Annette, and Russell
In this photo you might be able to make out that the two KLR's are parked in the back, in order to give the three BMW's a head start.
And then it was time to depart toward Coldfoot, where we intended to partake, once again, of sustenance, prior to our arrival at Wiseman, where we had lodging reserved for that Friday night. The others being in a greater hurry than the old man, advantage was taken of the separation to gather in a few more photos of scenes along the way like this crossing of the South Fork of the Koyukuk River.
And the south fork upstream from the bridge
A few miles farther on, looking back at the Koyukuk valley
Just past Mile 160, rain in the distance with the sun over my shoulder produced rainbows in several locations. This one is over the Coldfoot airstrip.
And this one, appropriately enough, shows the pot of gold to be shaped like a 48 oil pipeline.
One more stop before the restaurant at Coldfoot the Interagency Visitors Center, which has some very interesting displays and video presentations.
And then, the restaurant and a real meal. We sat out on the open deck to enjoy the fresh air. A brief rain squall had us running out to our bikes to batten down the hatches, but when we left it was on barely damp roads
(More to come in Part 6, which may - or may not - follow Parts 4 and 5)

Part 4, Which Just Managed to Squeeze in Ahead of Part 5
Friday Evening, August 8th
Before we pulled out of Coldfoot, there was one more task to be taken care of, since I had fueled the KLR immediately upon arrival. A photo of the Coldfoot Post Office.
Annette filled her DR's tank with petrol, while the rest of the riders satisfied themselves with unleaded gasoline. Never noticed a petrol pump at Coldfoot before, but guess I just hadn't looked hard enough.
We arrived at Boreal Lodging in downtown Wiseman a little later than originally planned, thanks to the liesurely pace at which we had consumed our dinner. Dick and Jim, the two scouts who had gone on ahead to mark the trail with fish skeletons, were already settled into the cabin. They came out to meet and greet, and introductions were made once again. We all ambled over to the cabin at their invitation, and sat around on, and in front of, the porch, feeding mosquitoes.
Jim and Dick had had a long day, having returned from Deadhorse (and NOT from wrestling huge rainbow trout out of pristine waters, as they might have wanted us to believe). They both showed signs of being ready to enjoy some slumber, but our gang, having had a fine day and wishing to share it with one and all, kept the quantity, if not the quality, of conversation at a high level.
But after a while, even Annette (who had been on a pretty hectic schedule since her arrival on U. S. soil) began to show signs of winding down.
The two bickering Camp Robbers (also known as Gray Jays, Canada Jays, and those @#%*$ birds that stole my bacon) were assigned the chore of cleaning out the cookware, the remains of dinner having an appearance remarkably closer to rice than rainbows.
Sharing the cabin with Dick and Jim, I treated myself to the queen size mattress in the loft
and on the way up got a bird's eye view of the interior
along with interior decoration courtesy of a past successful fall moose hunt
With a window near my head, the midnight sun was making its presence known, but a stream flowing nearby offered sufficient gentle sound to compensate.
Alarms had been set in most rooms the night before, and my own mental alarm went off about 5 minutes early, so we five were up and ready to roll only a few minutes behind schedule. It was at this point (after she had locked her motorcycle keys inside one of her panniers) that we were able to convince Annette that it probably wouldn't be necessary to secure her panniers with 4 (yep, 4, I counted 'em) padlocks here in the wilds of Alaska since the camp robbers weren't likely to ply their trade on metal boxes, and if the bears wanted them, they would just pick up bike and all and wander off into the woods with it.
Saturday Morning, August 9th
On the road, headed north.
Annette getting in position for a photo of Sukukpak Mt
and pulling over to capture the image for posterity
Once again, progress was good, and in seemingly no time at all we were at the base of Atigun Pass. Russell and Istvan had pulled over next to the West Fork of the North Fork of the Chandalar River (that's what it says on the sign ) to wait for us stragglers.
Being the photographer by virtue of having a working camera, I rode on ahead to get a series of shots of Annette coming around the corner at the bottom and proceeding up the steep grade
(There is a motorcycle and rider in that photo, but ya gotta look close. That's a big country up there, and we're kinda small in it.)
We ran into dense fog coming over the top of the pass from the north side, so we stopped and got out all the cameras so we could take photos of fog from 5 different perspectives.
The scenery was less than spectacular on the north side descent, thanks to not being able to see any of it.
Out of the fog and out onto the tundra, we were treated to the sight of muskoxen foraging next to the road. On my 8th trip north of Atigun, I finally got to view these formerly elusive shaggy beasts. So I took enough photos to make up for lost time.
Even though the rest of us had been moving along at a comfortable pace, we had yet to catch sight of Craig's taillights since just before climbing up to the Chandalar Shelf around Mile 236. But he had stopped to take photos of the muskoxen and pulled out shortly after Annette and I pulled up to do the same.
By this time Craig was feeling pretty cocky, and thinking to himself The guys back home in Flatistan will never believe this - riding the Wing on a gravel road, and not only doing it at better than a walking pace, I'm pushing the speed limit! Lessee, what can I do to prove to them that I really did it? About that time one of Alaska's Finest fortuitously appeared on the far horizon, and a bolt of brilliance flashed through Craig's mind. I know! I'll wind it up to about... oh, 76 miles per hour... and wave the trooper down and ask him if he'll... oh... the red and blues are flashing. Guess I won't have to flag him down after all.
Say, officer, since you stopped anyway, would you mind... What's that officer? Uh, press hard, four copies? Oh, sure.
It would have been a $106 fine but you reduced it to 55 mph and a $50 fine? Well..., I guess 55 miles per hour on a gravel road will impress the guys back home enough. Thank you, officer.
In retrospect, I wonder if the Trooper who gave Craig the ticket was the same one who had to pull so far to the left to pass him two days earlier?? Ya don't wanna take a chance on making one of our finest late for his donuts, y'know.
Istvan related afterward that he had felt just a little guilty, because he had been keeping up with Craig until he saw the headlights coming from the other direction. But not guilty enough to step up and say Me to, me too!
Just after that, a second band of muskoxen were sighted near the road just ahead of us, so another photo stop was in order.
And that is how 5 dirty, muddy bikes found their way to the parking lot of the Arctic Caribou Inn in Deadhorse
(More to come - you've been warned)

Hoosiers show flashes of greatness
With his team leading Georgetown by two with 19 seconds left in the second half of Tuesday night's Legends Classic championship game, Indiana coach Tom Crean paced rapidly in front of the Hoosiers bench, flailing his arms like he was fighting off a mugger as he urged the Barclays Center crowd to stand up and cheer on his defense.
Crean's animated display didn't have the desired effect in the short term, as Hoyas star Otto Porter hit a running layup to send the game to overtime a few seconds later. But after the Hoosiers put on a clinic in the extra period en route to an 82-72 win, Crean made it clear that his team's toughest game to date was as fun as it looked.
"This would have been one of those games where it would have been a lot of fun to be up there cheering like crazy or watching from home, and the only thing I could imagine would be more fun than that would be coaching in it," Crean said. "The only thing I could imagine would be even better than coaching in it is playing in it, and I think everybody that played tonight absolutely left it out there."
With the win, along with Monday's 66-53 victory over Georgia, the top-ranked Hoosiers moved to 5-0 on the young season. After routs in tune-up games before the trip to Brooklyn, Indiana finally got a taste of what a season at the top of the heap will be like, with every opponent gunning to fell the nation's top dog.
"It lets us know where we're at," said Indiana guard Jordan Hulls, who received tournament MVP honors after averaging 15.5 points for the two games. "We know we're going to get everybody's best shot, and Georgetown and Georgia, they were two really good teams that pushed us. We learned a lot about ourselves in terms of how good we can be when we play the way we want to play."
There were times over the course of the two-day event when one couldn't help but question how this team was supposed to be the best in the country. But Indiana's veteran squad, which returns four full-time starters from last year's Sweet 16 team, along with junior forward Will Sheehey, who started the Hoosiers' final 11 games, had other shining moments when it looked every bit the part of a national championship contender.
And as far as Crean is concerned, that's how it should be this early on.
"We certainly didn't play great," Crean said. "There's not one area I would look at and say, 'OK, we were just dominant in that area,' but we kept getting better. There's a lot of room for improvement, and I think I'd be really nervous in November if there wasn't places where we could get better."
In addition to the play of Hulls and preseason Player of the Year Cody Zeller, the sophomore who scored 17 points and had eight rebounds as he battled a wicked cold, Indiana also received reliable play out of freshman point guard Yogi Ferrell and junior guard Victor Oladipo. Ferrell scored 14 points, including a clutch 3-pointer in overtime to seal the win.
There was no overwhelming star for the Hoosiers in either of their wins, but as Crean pointed out after Tuesday's game, that's kind of the point. That's why they are where they are and other teams aren't.
"We keep trying to stress to these guys, it's not the quantity of your minutes, it's the quality of your play," Crean said. "If the quality of your play is high, you're going to be happy. If you're looking for quantity in minutes, we're probably not a good program (for you) right now.
"We've got too many guys. It's easy to talk about it, but it's a whole other thing to believe in that and have the maturity to do it."
In Tuesday's championship, Indiana received all it could handle from the unranked Hoyas, who got 15 points out of Porter, 20 out of Markel Starks and 12 from Greg Whittington, whom Crean called one of the NCAA's underrated future stars, and 11 from Mikael Hopkins.
Some will call the Hoosiers' close call as a sign that Indiana is overrated. But it's probably more fair to say that Georgetown, which was picked to finish fifth in the Big East, deserves more credit than it was getting before it kicked off the tournament with a convincing win over No. 11 UCLA.
"They're long and athletic, and they don't deviate from what (coach) John (Thompson III) wants — they really don't," Crean said. "It's not a team of athletes, it's a team of basketball players that are extremely athletic. … You're not going to keep them from doing too many things because they put too many guys on the court that can make plays."
Added Thompson: "We're still growing up. You hope to grow up without losses, but hopefully this will help. We've had a lot of guys out there in situations they've never been in before."
In the end, Indiana's experience was the difference in front of a mostly pro-Hoosiers crowd in Brooklyn. There's a good chance that'll be the case more often than not this season.
Crean's team has all the makings of a national champion, but so do Louisville and Ohio State and Michigan and Duke — the list goes on and on. There's not one tremendously elite roster that stands head and shoulders above the rest of the country, and college basketball supremacy won't be handed to anyone.
The Hoosiers certainly deserved their first preseason No. 1 ranking since 1979, but as Georgetown and Georgia reminded them, they're going to have to earn it if they want to hold onto the nation's top spot.
"They've got to find a way to win, and that's all they talked about," Crean said. "We talked tonight about, 'You've got to do what's required tonight. You don't have to be at your very best, but you have to do what's required to win the game.'"
Said Zeller: "Everyone's just trying to find their roles right now, and to be in a close game like that where you really have to play to your strengths to get the win, I think it was really good for us. It'll pay off for us later in the season."
