Photoshop CS5 for Photographers provides comprehensive Photoshop training targeting the needs of photographers. In this course, author Chris Orwig demonstrates the fundamental skills used to enhance digital photos, including managing and correcting color, sharpening, making selections and adjustments, retouching, and printing from Photoshop. In addition to teaching the techniques that enable photographers to refine and publish their photos, the course includes live-action segments that encourage thinking photographically and shooting with Photoshop's capabilities in mind. Exercise files are included with the course.
Burning and dodging isn't a simple technique, rather there's a bit of an art and a craft to burning and dodging. Therefore, spending a few minutes learning how that Burn and Dodge tools work is really worthwhile. And that's what we're going to do here. We're going to start off simply playing with these tools a little bit, deconstructing them. And then in the next movie we'll take a look at how we can actually use these in order to make improvements on our photographs. Well, for starters you can select the Burn or Dodge tool over here in the Tools panel, and you can do so by simply clicking on the icon.
I want to point out that the Dodge tool will brighten, while the Burn tool will darken. Let's say that we select the Burn tool. How can we define how this actually works? Well, up in the Options bar we can define what range it's going to affect primarily. We can target Shadows, Midtones, or Highlights. We can also dial in an Exposure amount. All right! Well, let's go ahead, and let's say we're going to change our brush size here. We can do so by pressing the bracket keys, or we can right-click or Ctrl+click, change your brush size, or pick a different brush for that matter.
And then we can go ahead and click and paint. And at this point you can see that as I click and paint I'm darkening this area of the image. And for the most part this looks okay, yet just paint a little bit of a larger area. Now as I paint a little bit of a larger area you can see that there are some problems, right? Well, it didn't just darken the image. It also brought in this weird red color. And that doesn't look very good. Now on the other hand, what we can do is we can turn on this option here, which is called Protect Tones. You want to think of that as really as protecting color.
Let me show you why. Let me do the same brush strokes over here. When I do those same brush strokes on this side, what you're seeing is that we don't have that drastic red shift that we had over here. Rather the skin tone looks much better even on the face. This looks a little strange. This looks a little bit more even and natural. So when you're using these tools, whether Burn or Dodge, the Protect Tones, think of that again as really protecting color and that can help you out quite a bit. All right! Well, let me undo those brush strokes again. Those were just there for demonstration purposes.
What I want to do is highlight something else that we can do when using this tool and that is let's say that we make a selection either of Burn or Dodge. It doesn't matter which one, but let's go ahead and choose Dodge. If we go ahead and click and paint, and we are brightening up an area of an image whatever that area happens to be, in this case the arm. Well, let's say that we all of a sudden really want to use the other tool. We want to darken so we want to burn in some detail. Well, all that you need to do is to hold down the Option key on a Mac, Alt key on a PC, and then when you hold down that key and paint you can see here that now I'm darkening.
Let go off Option or Alt and then click and paint, and then you can brighten. Press Option or Alt and again you can darken. So the whole point here is that you can toggle back-and-forth between these two different tools and a lot of times that's helpful because you'll want to burn a little bit then dodge a little bit and go back-and-forth. The one thing that you want to keep in mind is that whatever settings you have here in your Options bar are the settings that will be used as you toggle back-and-forth between these two different tools. All right! Well, let's go ahead and undo all of these demo brush strokes.
And now that we know a little bit about these two tools let's go ahead and take a look at how we can actually use them, and we'll do that in the next movie.

Essential knots?

Re: Essential knots?
If you know a few knots, there is no reason not to know many more knots that are simple variations or combinations.
If you know the figure-eight, then it seems easy to know the figure-eight loop, figure-eight bend, double figure-eight-loop and the one-way knot.
The bunt-line is a clove-hitch over the same line.
Double the "rabbit-hole" and you have a double-boline; triple it and you have a triple-boline; make the "rabbit hole" a clove hitch and you have a water-boline. The boline is not all that reliable when not under tension -- finish it off with a half-hitch or feed the bitter end back up through the "rabbit hole" for a Yosemite-boline.
As mentioned, the Alpine butterfly is also a bend. Also as mentioned surgeons-knot is a square-knot with a an extra turn and more secure.

I am one lucky ducky; I've never wanted to change my name. No, not even once. (Okay, maybe once, when I was seven and couldn't find a cute little wall plaque at the store with my name on it. They always spelled it wrong!) Thanks, Mom. That said, my lifelong love for my namesake crystals has me adding them to anything and everything I can. I use all types of crystals and love hanging them from my rearview mirror as well as from my neck, wrists, and earlobes, which keeps me constantly surrounded by those lovely crystal bead beauties. It also helps being one of 37 worldwide Swarovski Ambassadors. Swarovski beads keep feeding my need to create crystal bead jewelry!
From this love of crystals came my love for crystal jewelry designs, thus the eBook of 5 crystal bead projects was born. From Swarovski beads to fire polished rounds, I love how each designer has captured the essence of this dazzling type of rock. Crystal beads plus other unique elements combine for a set of designs that I cannot wait to get my hands on. I hate to bling and run, but I simply must dive into these crystal bead projects, I hope you do too!
So, what could be better than combining our loves, crystals, stringing, and bead stitching? Nibbling chocolate while making these projects-utter Utopia! Handpicked for their variety and glitz, these beauties are sure to please over-the-top fellow blingsters, as well as those who want just a touch of the sparkle. I find no matter my budget or occasion, a bit of bling always makes me smile, and nothing says fashion forward better than some twinkle in your crystal jewelry.
Crystal Edge BraceletCrystal Bracelet Pattern
Top-drilled bicones are fun to work with and give your piece an interesting dimension! Once I started using top drilled bicones in my jewelry creations, I was hooked! This project whispers in my ear, "skip the laundry, who cares about the dirty dishes in the sink, make me NOW."
Bracelet with Heart Crystal Bracelet Pattern
This heart-felt bracelet is perfect for any age from tween to grandmamma, they'd all love wearing this beautiful accessory, and the heart toggle is the icing on the cake (or on the crystal bracelet in this case). I have a heart collection and this one won't be missing from it much longer!
Romantic RuffleCrystal Bracelet Pattern
I love how Kelli mixed the Swarovski crystals and pearls together to give this bracelet an extra touch of glam. I might try a combination of colors (like 3 different blue-colored crystals) as a color variation on this project.
Montée Magic Crystal Bracelet Pattern
This bracelet would be perfect to use up your bicone crystal bead stash. You could also substitute 6mm pearls for the 6mm bicones for added texture and variety. You could also glue on some flat back crystals onto the lobster clasp for additional bling!
Totally TubularCrystal Bracelet Pattern
Yours truly created this crystal-rich necklace featuring my own Sassy Silkies, handcrafted silk beads and a removable clasp attaching the focal piece to the necklace. I filled plastic tubing with crystals. A walk down the plumbing aisle in your local hardware store, or pet stores provide you with this simple tubing.
Be sure to make two of each project, one for yourself and one for your BFF. You know she'll take these bracelets right off your wrist! I hate to bling and run, but I simply must dive into these projects, I hope you do, too. Enjoy!
The best is yet to bead!
I really enjoy your posts. Your personality really shines through your writing. Thanks so much for sharing the patterns. I LOVE the heart clasp. Can't wait to try it.
I have at both of us. I was born in the 50's so when plates with our name came out in the mid 70's, it was not spelled correctly for me. I didn't find them until the mid 80's. I have seen them with your spelling. Thanks for the patterns
[the other, older] Crystal
Thanks you guys!
I love hearing your feedback.
Here's a question from one of our beady peeps:
Q: I love your totally tubular necklace in the latest Beading Daily free booklet -but where did you find the 13x6 pressed glass disks?! I have been hunting high & low for them and have had absolutely no luck. Any help would be appreciated!
A: I originally got these Czech glass beads from Rings & Things a few years ago. These are the closest beads they currently have in stock:
You could also use 8mm crystal bicones to fit into the ends of the tubes as well. That would be a nice effect!
Have fun!
I love the bracelet with heart. However, did anyone else have trouble with getting the clasp to come out right? I have started over twice and neither time did it work - I'm wondering of something was missing in the instructions or am I just overlooking something? The instructions on how to join the first unit to the last unit are not entirely clear to me, but no matter how I do it, it doesn't come out right. Any help you can give me would be appreciated!!

Catholic political divide over Obama at Notre Dame
"The president's appearance at Notre Dame will not in any way serve as an acceptance or condonation of his position on abortion and stem cells, but rather will provide the university the opportunity to reject – freely and clearly – those positions for all the world to hear and read," Cuomo wrote. "Better that confident and respectful stance by the university than a defensive and impolite insult to our nation's respected and singularly important world leader, who demonstrated his respect to Notre Dame by agreeing to come to the university."

Cameron Corner - 6 day blast
Day 1 - Coorparoo to Cambooya.
Google map link
Day 1 is more about preparation than any real riding. It sees Kelly and I hire the car, pack the car, pack the bike up and scramble around doing any finishing touches. I've been getting stuff ready since half way through Sunday (the previous day). Been flat out with work as well as choco time, hence haven't had much time to get things in order.
I'm stressing and scrambling about what to take with regards to sat phone, spot, UHF and all that stuff. Until you go, you just don't know. To top it all off, I have a visit to the bank to organise some finances and take a dash into the city to make a purchase. More on that later. Kelly later wonders why I took so long. I simply say I got stuck talking to the guys down at KTM Brisbane while buying my Sidi Adventure boots. It's a plausible excuse as it's a regular occurrence any time I walk into a bike shop. I'm pretty sure we're all guilty of this.
We leave a bit after 4pm, straight up the highway, I stop of at Olbis and buy a better aerial for the handheld UHF to get me more range should I need it. PS: Highly recommend this to anyone, the standard aerials are pretty average.
Kelly has a bit of an adventure ... in all my excitement I actually entered the incorrect address in the GPS. We're meant to be heading for Cambooya (south of Toowoomba) but I've directed her to Woombye (down the Gold Coast) .. err ... woops ...
Pretty funny though.

Day 2 - Cambooya, Dalby, St George, Bollon
Google map link
We wake up in the morning, it's been raining steadily during the evening. No problem, today is mostly tar anyway. Kelly realises the passenger foot well is quite damp, and has water in it. Bugger about the laptop, camera and text book sitting there! We ring up Europcar and organise a swap. What a pain in the arse. In any case, at least we got a Nissan X-Trail instead. More capable than the Subaru Outback they gave us (after all, it's a blessing in disguise this car swap I think). It's got 2000 kays on the clock ... ends up with over 5000 only 5 days later.
We're in T-bar, so might as well go up to Dalby and check out the famous Dalby Moto. I pick up a set of rear brake pads, thinking I might run out on the trip. I end up not needing them, but at least I've got a set when I'm ready. The Tenere 800 is out the front, all washed and ready for another adventure soon no doubt.
On the way to St George. Wide open spaces.
Arrive in St George, check out the info centre.
A lot of water in the river. Everything is still quite wet from all the recent rains.
I spot a Shingleback on the side of the road. Plenty of these around, but they're pretty cool little guys. Apparently they 'shack up' with another Shingleback for up to 20 years!
Taking a break, side of the road is as good as anywhere.
We arrive in Bollon, rather buggered from the day (just the heat, plus a poor nights sleep). The main drag of Bollon.
And the pub, a room for $45, ripper!
After a beer, a good shower is in order. We come back down, have a few beers and it's almost time to order when the power goes out. Shit eh. A great bloke my the name of Mark Savage pipes up and cooks dinner on the BBQ for us. He has links with the Husqvarna moto group and set a world record back in 2009 around a Motocross track. Sounds like a crazy guy. Mark Savage world record
The publican Mary is great. Very nice people and all welcome for a chat. The pub by candlelight.
I'm shattered, haven't had much sleep the entire week and stress levels have been up. Time for a good snooze. Zzzzzzzz. Tomorrow is a big one.

Day 3 - Bollon, Cunamulla, Tharogminda, Noccundra, Cameron Corner, 758 km.
Google map link
For the most part, this was a lot of road kays, just trying to get west to the good stuff. I wasn't necessarily interested in dong every bit of dirt I could find along the way. After all, I only had limited time to fit it all in, and as it proved, I think I got it just right for my ability / fitness level. There's only so much super human distance you can do. I'm not Phil n Bill.
The day starts nice n clear, then turns a bit cloudy, however the temp is great. It only gets up to 22 deg C all day. What a rarity!
Wide open spaces, and some emus.
A sample of a lake area, which is probably dry most times. Just because of the rain we've had it's actually got water in it.
We arrive at Thargominda, refuel (including an extra 30L), have some lunch (hamburger) and check out the information centre.
The Adventure starts here ... I bloody hope so. The 'Adventure Way' should be re-named the 'mind numbing way' - while the scenery is interesting and I actually enjoy it, the road is so straight and flat.
I was wanting to take the Boolloo Downs road across to the Corner, but was advised it was closed and is more of a goat track than a road as such. In any case, it seemed we wouldnt be getting through.
We headed to Noccundra and the pub.
The turn off heading South to Cameron Corner.
Nuccundra pub.
We bought some water from the pub, asked about the road conditions again then headed south to the turn off for Cameron Corner which then heads South West. 150 kays to the turn off basically.
I can't remember when it turned from dirt to sand, but the first section was quite good, open dirt road, with a reasonable surface, a bit loose. Very open landscape, as far as the eye could see.
Cruisin ...
More scenery ... or ... something ..
Creeks had plenty of water in them.
On the bridge.
Most of the boggy patches had alternative routes around them, which you are advised to use. It stop the road getting chopped up and makes life easy for everyone. This one didn't, but it was all good, a nice firm base so no problems. The turn off heading South West to the Corner was about 100m up the road from this.
The turn off. Only 109 kays to go! (yeah, only!)
I'd never really done much sand riding, my experience was basically hitting a few patches and going "oh shit" - for some reason I still wanted to come out here though! True to Marks's previous comments, it wasn't that deep and had a hard base. It wasn't the bottomless sand you get through the dunes etc.
Still, for someone with few skills it was a challenge, and my legs were burning. The stand position was a bent leg stand with my weight as far back as possible to get the weight off the front wheel. Hands were feeling it from holding on (basically the ergos just arent quite right).
I stopped regularly just to drink (didn't want to take a hand off the bars). It seemed to take forever. The last 110 kays was slower, averaging say 60 70 kays an hour, depending on how much sand was about. Unfortunately Im not the master sand blaster and I couldnt tuck in at 140 and get 6 foot of air while having a ciggie over the dunes.
The track into the corner was actually quite enjoyable and at least predictable. There was a few areas where you had to drive around bog holes etc, but overall it was pretty good. Again, there was lots of sand in general, but a hard base and not too deep at all. I was going reasonably slowly anyway, so I didnt hit anything too hard.
I kept pushing, knowing that I wanted to get into the corner. It was quite late, and the sun had set. The high beams were on (lights I mean), but probably a bit too low so I couldnt see far enough ahead. There were a few arse puckering moments as I was going slower than before and probably getting more caught in the sand (or maybe the sand was worse) I kept looking at the GPS just hoping I would arrive on top of the spot.
Finally arrived at the corner! I saw a glimmer of yellow light and a few speed signs on the approach to the corner store! What a day, and an achievement. Here we were drinking Coopers at the corner of SA, NSW and QLD. We were both pretty bloody excited!
Pub of the year 2005! Pub of a lifetime if it served me cold beer n food!
Tuckin in, man that was good.
And to the previous story. My head was full of crazy ideas that I would somehow crash in the sand, cark it and never get to Cameron Corner. Some years later someone would trifle through my tool box and go "hey, what's this" and find a bloody diamond ring in there! Kelly and I have been together for a long time, and it was about time I got my arse into gear.
You might remember me scrambling to get finances in order, rush into town, buy a ring, get it insured, put it in bag where Kelly wouldn't find it (she actually trawled through it on the day, saw the bag and thought it was something else), wrap it up then put it in the tool box where it wouldn't be found. That's the best bit, she carried it all the way out to the corner for me!
So with all the romance I could muster, in the car park, outside the pub after a Pale Ale that went straight to my head, I asked Kelly to marry me. She said yes by the way (people always seem to ask, and no, we havent got a bloody date set for the wedding! And, yes, I did get on one knee, and I did have a ring I think thats all the standard questions out of the way).

Day 4 - Cameron Corner, Tibooburra, Wanaaring, Bourke, 557 km
Google map link
What a day. I thought getting to the corner was a challenge, getting out was way worse. If youre interested, hands down the easiest way to get to the corner it from the North East via QLD. This is considerably easier than doing it from NSW out through Tibooburra, Wanaaring, Bourke etc.
We woke up, had bacon and eggs and bought a few stubbie coolers. Handed over about $200 for all out food, accom, beer and the like, supporting the locals!
Flag post.
The store.
The corner post.
The Dog fence. This is a bloody big fence to stop the Dingoes from QLD getting across into NSW and SA. It might sound like a lot of work, after all, what could a Dingo do? Well, for example, one got through the other day and ran 8 lambs to death and killed 3 sheep (or the other way around, you know how it is, chinese whispers). In any case, just one Dingo can cause quite a bit of havoc, so a whole stack of them can have pretty serious consequences. Hence ... a bloody big fence. It's interesting to see all the animal tracks on either side of the fence, various walks of life.
Enjoying ourselves.
Essentially this day was broken into three legs. The first section out of the Corner to Tibooburra I actually found the easiest as Im sure the road was in the best condition of the lot. Things were feeling good and I was alert.
From Tibooburra onwards the road wasnt too bad, although still plenty of sand and a few things to keep me on my toes. The stamina was really starting to give though, and I was getting tired. I was picking the hard pack sections on the crest of the road, sitting down, taking a break, then standing when I had too. Kind of like a race, just putting it together one section at a time.
On the road to Tibooburra.
One more ...
We stopped for Fuel at Tibooburra. Should have filled up the jerries too if I had of known fuel was so expensive at Wanaaring!
Headed out of Tibooburra and off to the east. The road started reasonably well and I was thinking this would be a good high speed cruise. The surface was a bit loose though, bike moved around a bit. I may have these slightly out of order ... can't remember the precise location, but I do know the Sturt National Park was after Tibooburra.
Salt pans ... GPS says we're driving across water ...
After a break (you tend to take these a bit) ... support vehicle behind.
Some interesting features ...
Sturt National Park. I'm informed that some of this National Park is essentially just old shit farming country that wasn't much good. Sounds like Army land, not good for anything else except a rock haven, each with your knee caps name on it.
A Bearded Dragon. Lots of these around. I like the 'fight or flight' instinct. Sometimes they run, sometimes they brace up and just stay still. At least the Shinglebacks don't move much, so you can dodge them easily enough. Pity I didn't see any others like Frill Necks or a Thorny Devil (although I think I've seen one before). I guess I didn't get off the road and walk around too much. Might have found myself a few snakes too!
Coming down to a Salt Pan.
Bike making sure things are ok. Kelly hadn't been on a salt pan before. It's always great to have a bit of a walk and realise how thin the crust is and how silty and soft it is underneath. Something that backpackers and hire 4WDs don't seem to appreciate ....
Me taking a walk.
Makin tracks.
I stopped for fuel at Wanaaring, rather buggered but wanted to push on. Fuel was bloody exxy as well, the most expensive of the trip. $1.85 a litre! It was cheaper out at the corner! I got word that the road was much the same as youve just been on, except more sand great just what I wanted to hear. True to his word, the sand was longer in stretches and a bit deeper as well. I stopped multiple times, kept eating, kept drinking, just putting each section together. I was still averaging 80 kays an hour or so, but it makes for a long trip.
A lot of the trip was spent like this.
The amount of water around was truly amazing.
After what seemed like an eternity, we came into Bourke. I say that as I didn't realise the road was as sandy as it had been for so long. As I stated previously, for those who are all over this kind of riding they'll eat it up no problems. But for me, although I was still moving at a good pace for me, it wasn't sitting on 120 or more through the sand and just flogging it. Anywhere from 70 - 90 kays or so through the sand and that was about me. I crashed down the road, 5 mins from home last year. I know what it feels like. Stuff that in the middle of nowhere!
Nice roadside scenery.
Finally, arrived in Bourke, straight to the info centre! I was shattered, needed a good sleep, my legs had built up quite a bit of lactic. This sums up my energy levels really well, and captures the moment.
Booked into a motel, had a shower and went down the road to the local Bowls club for a few beers and some food. Again, in bed by about 8:30. Zzzzzzz. This was a tough day for me, mentally and physically.

Day 5 - Bourke, Brewarrina, Walgett, Come by Chance, Pilliga, Narrabri, 439 km
Google Map Link
Day 5 was a part rest day. I had a good sleep in and caught up a bit. The rear tyre was almost toast (Pirelli Scorpion Rally, overall held up really well) so I decided to get the 908RR put on at the local tyre shop. The guys there were really good, changed it over no problems. Note: They don't have a wheel balancer though, so I left the old wheel weights on. Seemed to work fine.
By the time it was all sorted I think we set off around 11am on our way to Narrabri. There was a few kays to do in the arvo, so didn't do a complete dirt route. Slabbed it to Brewarrina (was hoping there might be a brewery, but no luck). We turned off the main road to follow along the river into Walgett. Blacksoil road mainly and I would hate to attempt it in the wet. Suicide mission for sure.
Nice flowers, although I'm sure they are probably weeds.
A lot of the bridges along this road had been re-rated to 2T. I didn't get a photo of one in particular, but you could literally see the sag in the bridge beams. Pretty average, they sure do need some funds for bridge upgrades. Must be shit when it rains badly, as not only is the road stuffed, but you wouldn't be able to get through the creeks anyway.
We made our way into Walgett and grabbed some lunch and a bit of fuel. Erghg, another shithole. I appologise to tourism NSW but when the whole town has metal grilles all over the windows you know it's not the best place to relax and flex out. In any case, a good bacon and egg burger, then headed off to Narrabri via the dirt.
In town, you turn off to Come By Chance, Pilliga, Narrabri etc.
A bit of a crossroad, signs at Come by Chance, Pilliga.
The road through here is also mostly blacksoil, with ruts left over from the rains. Not bad on a bike, might be a bit scarier in a car. As you get towards Pilliga, it opens up to red sand country, a real change and unexpected from what we had been on. The sand is only minor in patches, but there is patches of it where there's holes in the road, so you have a hard lip on the end of the sand holes. Keeping the weight off the front and accelerating through each one sorted it out nicely (I was doing that anyway). Not so nice in the car, you just hit it!
Pilliga springs ... would have been nice if I had more time, would have gone for a refreshing dip. A few campers / nomads here.
The bore ..
The rest of the road into Narrabri is all tar from memory. We took a quick shortcut across near the radar station etc, cut a good 8 kays off the trip. Wound our way into Narrabri and the place looked pretty decent. Nice tidy town, decent shops, mechanics, Honda dealership etc.
I realised my headlight had blown earlier that morning. Put another fuse in and it blew straight away, so I figured it was a short.
Taking the headlight assy apart.
The culprit was the park light wires had worn through as they were rubbing on the sharp mesh grille at the front. Perhaps when I had the GPS power socket installed down the road they didn't put the headlight assy on back properly and the wires were as per this photo.
Note to others, just check these wires when you put your headlight assy back together and make sure they are clear of the wire mesh. I taped up the wires and the mesh to avoid any more hassles. New fuse in and it was sorted. Easy fix. *phew*
Off down to Tattersals pub for a beer and a Schnitzel. Consulted the map and worked out a rough direction for tomorrow.

Day 6 - Narrabri, Bingara, Inverell, Emmaville, Deepwater, Coorparoo, 603 km
Google Map Link
I plan on being down in this region on the coming weekend (9-10 Oct) hence I didn't go all out and do a shitload of dirt etc. I was interested in the road through to Bingara as at least it was over the mountains and I love a good twisty piece of tarmac. The road from Narrabri to Bingara is excellent and you get great views going up the mountains and back down the other side.
Just off the turnoff, outside Narrabri.
Coming into Mt Kaputar National Park.
View off the side.
At the bottom of the mountain, on the Bingara side.
Mmmmmm ... Better Beef.
Cool old theatre.
I'm not sure if I'm mising a few photos, but we didn't take many more in any case. We stopped at Inverell then went up through Emmaville to Deepwater. While in general this road was great, there was one section, only a few kays long that was bloody scary. Gravel inches deep, absolutely no bloody traction (not that the 908RR was giving me any bloody confidence anyway! ... *spit*). I was happy to get through that section and back onto a better dirt road. Again, nice scenery, although the weather started to turn in a bit.
Slabbed it up to Tenterfield and then Stanthorpe. We stopped for a late lunch and made a decision to slab it home. I've done the roads up the back of Stanthorpe etc multiple times, and I'll probably do it again this weekend, so I really wasn't that fussed. Plus the weather was drizzly, no tell me again why I'm not at home ... having beer n eating Pizza?
At home, triumphant, Cameron Corner done!
Trip summary.
Beer n Pizza ... oh yeah!
That's it! Although the dash did start to play up coming into Brisbane. It flicked to miles per hour, then scrolled through all the trip meters etc. Eventually the buttons on the dash wouldn't even work, so I'm stuck on the fuel trip of some crap. Have to get it checked out this week, hopefully it's an easy fix or I'll be waiting some stupid amount of time for KTM Australia to order a new part in. Prove me wrong KTM ... prove me wrong.
Highly recommend the trip to anyone, great to get out there and give it a bash. Also makes me realise if I want to do the Simpson etc, I think I'll take a smaller bike. I'm not a super advanced rider, so I think I'm risking too much taking the Adventure out there in that kinda country. Perhaps a 610 or a 630 Husky.

The bike shop you mentioned at Cunnamulla had an XR sprocket. 4 teeth to big but for $38 and 500 rpm more who cares. They also had a set of bearings for the back as well. Very resourceful and helpful.
6400 kilometres of rough roads and Desert in 14 days takes its toll. Sounds like your bike did okay.

NHL, NHLPA to meet Tuesday, continue ignoring the elephant in the room
Oct 1, 2012, 3:36 PM EDT
The NHL and NHLPA will be back at the bargaining table Tuesday in New York, but once again the talks aren't expected to focus on the dispute's main sticking point.
Instead, tomorrow's negotiations will attempt to define hockey-related revenue, according to the Canadian Press.
Exactly how the two sides plan to split up the revenue is apparently a topic for another day.
The league and players' union discussed secondary CBA issues for three straight days from Friday to Sunday.
We'd end this post with "hey, at least they're talking" if we weren't so sick of ending posts that way.
- jimw81 - Oct 1, 2012 at 3:46 PM
Bettman and Jacobs wont start hrr discussions unless players are willing to take 15% paycut. it's no starters for them.
Adam Proteau @Proteautype
Another source says two men in particular are the chief drivers of the league's all-or-nothing demands: Gary Bettman and Jeremy Jacobs.
Adam Proteau @Proteautype
Bettman wants a better deal than David Stern got for the NBA; Jacobs – who doesn't know all players on his own team – just wants more.
- killerpgh - Oct 1, 2012 at 3:59 PM
It makes sense to be to do it this way. Why try figuring out a percent if you don't know what the whole is? Agreeing to a 50/50 split would be stupid if the owner won't agree to the same Hockey Related Revenue sharing as last CBA. Figuring out what the "pie" is and than working on what amount each side get seems like the only logical way to start.
- silversun60 - Oct 1, 2012 at 4:22 PM
Agreed. Part of the problem in earlier negotiations was the NHL saying: We want them to take (for arguments sake) 53%. Then the NHLPA saying: Yeah but their 53% is really 47%.
At least if they figure out what HRR is, they will be talking about the same numbers.
- chiadam - Oct 1, 2012 at 5:12 PM
Maybe they should have put aside their copy of "CBA Negotiations for Dummies" and started this months ago. Forget leverage and posturing, because they're slowly killing the game. The level of hatred for Bettman and his masters is getting out of hand. They might lose fans out of sheer contempt.
- larrybiv - Oct 1, 2012 at 6:38 PM
Every time my favorite sport picks up a head of steam in popularity here in the U.S…….it shoots itself in the proverbial skates. A hole in the ice that they just can't fix with water. Bettman and colleagues shoot too damned hard, ruin the net, so that NO ONE can play, nor watch. Compared to the other 3 major sports, their potential for injury is not equal to their salaries. Lowest paid and higher risk other than football. Give in Bettman. I want my NHL HOCKEY!

Friends … as the ardent and zealous LA Kings fan which I am, I implore you to "stand down" from your fears of the so-called doom which these rats are presenting. I "can and will" assure you that this is nothing more than a bunch of "make believe" … and therefore as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, we "will" have our beloved game of hockey back before long ! Never forget that there's a reason why we're conversing here today in English, as opposed to French or Spanish. For even when faced with adversity "square in the face" in battle, the British "soldier of foot" would never consider flinching for even a second until the word to "fire" was given. So let us be likewise, in terms of our feelings towards these fake negotiations. They'll be back soon enough, because "they know" that "we know" that they "conditionally" line their pockets with our "unconditional" love for the game !

decremental: adjective The act or process of decreasing or becoming gradually less; the amount lost by gradual diminution or waste. --courtesy The American Heritage Dictionary.
The opposite of incremental, decremental has been appearing more frequently in reports by analysts reviewing the financial health of various companies, used in such phrases as "decremental margins" and "decremental sales."
It's "an ugly word," Deutsche Bank analyst Peter Reilly told The Wall Street Journal.
furlough: noun 1. A leave of absence granted to a governmental or institutional employee (as a soldier, civil servant or missionary); a document authorizing such a leave of absence.
2. A leave of absence granted by an employer to an employee; especially: a leave of absence granted at the employee's request; a temporary lack of employment due to economic conditions. --courtesy Merriam-Webster
Furloughs have grown more common these days as some companies seek to cut costs by giving employees unpaid time off. In January, Gannett, the nation's largest newspaper publisher, announced it would furlough most of its 31,000 employees for one week.
Great Recession: noun The current recession, which began in December 2007.
The length and severity of the current recession has led some in the media to dub it the "Great Recession," a term that echoes the Great Depression of the 1930s.
"It won't produce as steep a fall in American output as the Depression did, but it may prove to be as prolonged," Harvard Professor Niall Ferguson wrote in an op-ed article last week in The New York Times.
layoff: noun 1. The act of suspending or dismissing an employee, as for lack of work or because of corporate reorganization. 2. A period of temporary inactivity or rest.
The word layoff once was used synonymously with the word furlough -- meaning a temporary dismissal for work -- but, unfortunately for many workers, layoffs announced during this recession tend to be of the permanent variety.
mini-Madoff: noun A scammer who perpetuates a pyramid scheme similar to but smaller than that allegedly run by Bernard L. Madoff, a once-respected Wall Street player who is accused of bilking investors out of tens of billions of dollars.
As the economy unravels, more and more alleged pyramid schemes -- through which scammers pay early investors with cash from new investors -- are coming to light. The alleged cases of Robert Allen Stanford in Texas and Arthur G. Nadel in Florida have, after Madoff, become among the most notable.
recessionista: noun One who remains stylish during times of economic hardship; a woman who updates her wardrobe in a frugal manner. --courtesy Merriam-Webster
Recessionista is what linguists call a portmanteau -- a word formed from parts of two or more separate words. In this case, recessionista is a play on the words "fashionista" and, of course, recession.
The term has become ubiquitous in news media reports and blogs, particularly those focusing on fashion on a budget.
The recessionista "is at the mall finding designer threads ... at discount prices," wrote Style.com blogger Derek Blasberg. "That's because recessionistas aren't letting a little thing like falling stock prices and rising gas bills get in the way of their wardrobe."
shovel ready: noun A construction project that can begin immediately after it receives funding.

If you're looking for a someone to write a few lines of code and do some pseudo-SEO for you, I'm not for you. I'll gladly point you to other providers who can do that. But you're probably trying to build a website for some real purpose, like selling stuff or offering a service where people will pay you real money, right? So your website has to cease looking like a dull website. It has to delight the user with thoughtful little features that will seduce your customers. Your ideal coder has to understand these things. She or he has to feel them like they feel their own heart beating when they stop to feel. Here's where I can help. I understand the ins and outs of SEO. I can optimize your site so customers find you online through organic search (not paid search). A big part of SEO these days is building a responsive mobile site. I can do that. And I know a hell of a lot of shortcuts that will save you money in the long run. Don't let the programmers hijack your site and tell you what to do. You just need a website that responds to different screen-sizes without breaking character. Because your customers won't trust you if you are inconsistent. HMTL5, DHTML, PHP, MySQL, Javascript, Ruby on Rails, and all the good stuff can help. But you need someone like me who sees the big picture, but can still get into the little details of the code (write the code, come up with solutions to real problems) and build websites, e-commerce platforms that make you money (or if you're a non-profit, helps you save lives). Let's put an end to all the programming gobbledygook and actually build a website that works. Drop me a note. You never know, we might be a match.

Posh lifestyle prompts probe of Caribbean leader
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico With two private jets on call and a Hollywood wife, the Turks and Caicos prime minister lived like the rich and famous who have made the Caribbean island chain one of the hottest stops for celebrities.
Michael Misick says his lifestyle allowed him to court high-end developers and helped put the British territory southeast of the Bahamas on the map.
But his financial dealings are now the focus of a British investigative commission that is wrapping up hearings this week on the main island of Providenciales.
The Turks and Caicos still answers to a London-appointed governor, who formed the commission last summer after a British Parliament report found complaints of rampant corruption on the islands. The commission could call for a criminal investigation based on what it finds.
The hearings that began Jan. 13 at the Regent Palms Hotel have included sworn testimony from Misick's estranged wife, actress LisaRaye McCoy, that she used a government-leased jet to vacation in Africa, visit her daughter in Switzerland and commute from Los Angeles. The couple also leased a Rolls-Royce and spent more than $1 million on the interior design of their home. Misick has denied abusing public funds.
Investigators said in the hearings that eastern European developer Mario Hoffman acquired resort land at a deep discount and received special tax breaks around the time one of his bankers gave the prime minister a $6 million loan – part of $20 million in personal loans that Misick has amassed from banks, a developer and political appointees.
Misick, 43, a London-educated lawyer and realty broker, testified himself that he continued to collect sales commissions after being elected prime minister.
But he makes no apologies.
When he was criticized for more than doubling his salary and earning more than British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, the stocky leader with a slightly graying goatee replied: "Sir, I submit I have done more for Turks and Caicos than Gordon Brown has done for England."
Now in his second term, Misick is also the tourism minister, the Turks and Caicos' promoter-in-chief. Since he took office in 2003, the gross domestic product in the territory of 22,000 people has more than doubled to $750 million – largely through a resort-building boom.
Island aficionado Mark Amherst of privateislandsblog.com said the Turks and Caicos is "the new No. 1 holiday retreat for A-list celebrities." It's the place where Ben Affleck married, Eva Longoria honeymooned and Bruce Willis built a home.
Misick helped feed the buzz by party-hopping with McCoy, a Chicago-born actress who starred in the television series "All of Us" and appeared in the movie "Beauty Shop."
But his troubles started in July when the commission, led by former British judge Sir Robin Auld, began probing a range of allegations, including claims that Misick and other island officials profited from the sale of government-owned land.
According to the testimony, Misick spent $275,000 in a jewelry store, chartered a jet for a Paris shopping spree and charged more than $1 million to an American Express account with his wife after they married in 2006.

Don't Share Insulin Pens Between Patients
Michael J. Gaunt, PharmD
Published Online:
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
Sterility is not maintained by putting a new needle on a used pen device.
A single insulin pen device is never suitable for use with multiple patients due to the risk of cross contamination and transmission of bloodborne diseases. Air bubbles and pathogenic contaminants can enter the cartridge after injection while the needle is still attached to the pen.
In 2009, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) cooperated with the FDA on a Patient Safety News video (
) that discusses how contamination can happen. The video was prompted by a 2009 incident at 2 US Army hospitals in which 2114 insulin-dependent patients with diabetes were placed at risk because insulin pens were used for multiple patients.
An Illusion of Safety
Repeated event reports suggest that there is an alarming and widespread misunderstanding that sterility can be maintained between patients by affixing a fresh needle on a pen device. An incident in 2010 in Wisconsin required notification of more than 2000 potentially exposed patients due to inappropriate sharing of insulin demonstration pens used during patient training. Two reports submitted to the ISMP National Medication Errors Reporting Program describe nurses knowingly using the same insulin pen for multiple patients. Both nurses thought the practice was acceptable because they changed the needle between patients. In one case, it was later determined that the original patient had HIV. Followup exposure treatment and testing were being conducted on the affected patient.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), evidence continues to mount that this dangerous practice is still affecting thousands of patients (
). This concern led the CDC to issue a clinical reminder (
http://phrmcyt.ms/ RSCFhK
), stating that the agency has increasingly become aware of reports of improper use of insulin pens, which places individuals at risk of infection.
Safeguarding Patients
Health care practitioners must be aware and educate patients that insulin pens are meant for use on a single person only, and should never be shared with others, even when the needle is changed. Likewise, pen needles and fingerstick devices should not be reused on the same patient or shared with others. This should be explained to all patients by prescribers and pharmacists when patients receive a prescription for or are dispensed an insulin pen.
In acute care, long-term care, and group home/residential settings, insulin pens should be assigned to individual patients and labeled accordingly. Space is lacking on the pen for application of a patient label, so pharmacists must affix a "flag" label, taking care to attach the label to the body of the pen, not the cap, without covering the drug name. If the label is on the cap, once the cap is removed, the pen is no longer labeled for a specific person.
Timely staff education and ongoing monitoring is critical to assuring safe use of insulin pens. Long-term care facilities may find education and monitoring difficult to accomplish due to staff turnover and time constraints, but this should not hinder them from collaborating with their pharmacy providers to determine how often educational programs must be conducted and to consider other safeguards to put in place.
Insulin demonstration pens, which typically contain saline solution, are used to teach patients dosing and administration technique. However, they are NOT intended to be used on patients. Patients should practice administering the dose by injecting the saline solution into an orange.
Please keep in mind that other medications (eg, exenatide, teriparatide)—not just insulin—are available in pen injectors. These devices carry similar risks of cross contamination and transmission of blood-borne diseases when shared among patients. The safe practice recommendations above should be applied to all pen injector devices.
