Just try and do as much preventive maintenance as possible. If Daniel has it it would show up within 2-4 days after exposure and then be contagious for another 3-5 days after that.
- Drink lots of vitamin C and water (at least 64oz a day)
- Wash your hands constantly and keep them away from nose, month & eyes.
- Make sure all of you cover when sneezing or coughing
Here's hoping you all can fight this off!

More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—The red rainfall alert was extended anew in Metro Manila and nearby provinces by the state weather bureau shortly after 3 a.m. Monday following incessant heavy to torrential rains spawned by the southwest monsoon, which was enhanced by tropical storm Maring (international name: Trami).
"Heavy to torrential rains affecting Metro Manila, Bataan, Zambales, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas and Northern Quezon and most likely to continue for the next three hours," the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said in its 3:15 a.m. bulletin.
Moderate to heavy rains, meanwhile, were still affecting Nueva Ecija and the rest of Quezon.
Pagasa said severe flooding was expected.
The state weather bureau first issued a red rainfall alert at 9 p.m. Sunday, then re-issued it at 12:10 a.m. Monday.

I've got beans. Saw them last night when I showed Dan the two trees that we need to move come Fall. The bean plants that were supposed to be bush variety are producing. I will pick what I see tonight for dinner.
When do you pick in your garden? I usually pick in the evening before dinner and try to just take what I will use. When things start producing more than what I can use I have to pick what's ready. No ripe tomatoes yet.
I have two open small beds that I will try some lettuce in. The last sowing of lettuce didn't take with the heat we had. These were the beds with the garlic.
Loving this cool weather but not sure some of the veggies will like it. How's the weather where you are?
July 18, 2014 at 7:47 am #5265304 Report Abuse
Steep, I try to pick in the cool of the morning when everything has dried from the morning dew or in the evening after the sun is off the garden and before the dew. It is not good to touch the plants if they are wet. Also picking in the heat of the day the vegetables will be stressing and not as good. I do prefer mornings for the freshest best flavor. Now asparagus and corn are another subject, they go from the garden to the pot.
I went to the plots after work last night just to take a look and was embarrassed at the weeds that were in the gardens. I am a big complainer when folks don't take care of their plots and mine looked as bad as many of the worst offenders. I ended up weeding both blots before coming home. My bell peppers are doing great. They are loaded with peppers and have more blossoms that haven't yet set. The beets and carrots are plugging along but they will do well late into the fall so should have a pretty good crop there. Celery is forming up nicely and the onions are about the size of ping pong balls now and are showing no signs of going to seed. The jalapeno and sweet banana peppers are just starting to set. The plants are not as healthy as the bells are. Not sure why. Basil is almost ready to be pinched back so they will bush out. Pulled what few radishes that I had planted there but they seemed a little tough. Will plant more seed shortly.
As far as the home front garden is concerned. Green beans are full of blossoms so should be getting beans shortly. The tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli etc. will know more about once I get them hopefully all weeded tomorrow.
Steep, I would think you could start lettuce as late as late August or early September.

That is great, Steep! Bette, wonderful info you just shared! Yes, I try not to pick early mornings or midday unless its not that hot out! I have green bell peppers starting to come in! They are not that hig just yet! Also have a few tomatoes about ready to get picked, cukes, as always! Seems like my zukes are taking forever! Sigh! Eggplants are coming along! JBs are really going to town on the eggplant leaves! Grrrr! What do I do?

This afternoon I picked baby beets and tops and some small potatoes. Going to be a weird supper tonight – beets with tops, potatoes with dill and mac and cheese (I had it in the freezer and just warming it up. Also I picked some cherry tomatoes. I love this time of year. Margba I ended up with 1 zucchini. I think the birds got them. However even 1 zucchini will probably be enough.

I have been picking Sugar Snaps and I see my Jalapenos and Hungarian Peppers are ready to be picked. Tons of green tomatoes. Green Pepper plants are questionable. Some have set and others have not. Bush beans have their blooms. Zucchini, Spaghetti Squash, Corn, pickles, watermelon and cantaloupe are doing okay. One thing that surprised me, is how well the Cabbage, Hubbard Squash and Brussel Sprouts are doing. They must really like it out back in the new garden. Onions and potatoes have really taken off. Stawberries are not doing well at all. I think I will have to buy some plants for next year.
Today will be the first day that I really can get in there and spend some time. I had a family emergency and was out of town a little over a week and this was my first week back to work. Just been to exhausted after work to really do anything.
The only herb I did was parsley. We just ran out of time, with setting fence poles and installing the fencing once it dried up. Then a mad dash to get all the seedlings planted.
I always like to pick in the morning for the reasons Bette had mentioned.

I was out this morning picking more tomatoes…..I love this time of year, don't you? They are gorgeous. Cukes are just about ready to flower. I was late getting them in and wasn't sure whether I would have any but they are abundant. Happy, happy, happy.

I love this time of yr, too, Albertagran! I brought in a cuke today when out in my garden but decided not to eat it, as it had something weird looking on it! Lol! I have eaten & brought in many cukes so far, however. My zukes are sure being slow. Tomatoes havent been coming in too fast but some at least! Peppers are slow in coming also!

Well I'm still getting squash, cucmbers and the tomatoes are slowly ripening. I have a feeling soon as our unusually cool temps go back up and we get sun again my tomatoes are going to cut loose.

There isn't much to choose from:
http://www.canoeing.com/canoes/specialty/decked.htm (Easy Rider Cub Scout is included by mistake - it's hardly a decked canoe, more an SOT).
All of them are pretty much same wide @28", which is too narrow in my opinion for relaxed fishing. You'd want something 36"-39" wide. May be put 1/4" marine plywood deck on a proper fishing canoe like Wenonah Fishermen or one of Clipper Mac Sport line-up, with deck riveted to gunwales, say, 4ft in the bow and 4 ft at stern.

Title 17D City-wide Standards
Chapter 17D.060 Stormwater Facilities
Drainage plans shall be prepared and submitted for review and acceptance for all proposed plats and land disturbing activities prior to issuance of any permits for site disturbance, including but not limited to grading permits and building permits. The director has authority to waive requirements to the necessity for a drainage plan, but must do so in writing. Factors considered in the evaluation of a waiver request include, but are not limited to:
soil characteristics and depth,
number of lots,
infill development,
percent impervious area,
pass-through drainage,
history and trends of runoff-related problems,
With respect to drainage plans required under subsection (C) of this section:
the volume and rate of surface water runoff after new development shall be no greater than the runoff volume and rate leaving the site prior to development, unless the director of engineering services approves the discharge of additional runoff based on a comprehensive drainage plan and down gradient impact study;
drainage plans for development proposals in SDDs shall not rely upon infiltration to accommodate the additional runoff resulting from the proposed development. However, approval to use infiltration in part or in whole may be granted by the director of engineering services upon a showing, after assessing new, existing, and cumulative impacts from prior developments, that no adverse impact to the side, adjacent, or down gradient properties would occur;

There are mature ladies on this site who, if they were mine, I probably wouldn't want to share. I guess I can be a bit selfish at times. Thankfully for all us amateur older-babe lovers, Mature Share doesn't feel the same way about its content.
Although, I should point out that not all the material is exclusive. It is actually sharing content that has already been shared with them. I guess it's like a porn "pay it forward" type thing.
If you decide to pay and go forward, you will find a very basic and pleasant design and no issues when it comes to navigation. If you click on the "HD/DVD" tab, you'll see that the movies have been divided according to their quality and can be found in a couple of sections. Of the 255 videos, 186 of them are brought to you in HD.
The vids can all be streamed in an embedded player and downloaded in Windows Media and MP4 files. You can also grab the a file specific for mobile devices. I came across a few lesbo scenes while I was making my way through the films, but what you get here is mostly straight one-on-one banging.
You can change the way in which the videos are displayed by sorting them by length, by popularity, or by the date they were added. There are category tags, like group sex, licking, MILF, shaved and skinny, that you can use to facilitate your search.
The vast majority of the women are well into their 40s and 50s, so the babes are definitely mature. A few of the ladies even look like they are older than 60. The performers are all amateur and I'm pretty sure that the gals come from places like the Czech Republic and Russia.
I mentioned that you can arrange the videos by date, but nothing is actually dated, so I can't tell you when that most recent movie was added or how often the site adds new content. If I had to guess based on increase of amounts, I'd say they're adding about two flicks a month. There also aren't any photos or bonus sites that you can check out while you wait for new movies.
Mature Share offers great amateur old-lady hardcore. Seeing as how the movies are high in quality, it's worth your while to get a membership.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Great looking models with nice bodies - Romana and Alona K is the reason for subscribing

Slow server, it takes 4 hours to download a 1GB movie, other sites took 45 minutes for a 1GB movie

Can hardly hear the dialogue
Large number of non-HD movies as well
Slow update or no update at all
Not true amateur site, there were some American porn stars scenes

Mitt Romeny got an unexpected response when he spoke about health care at a Washington D.C. diner.
A waitress, Michelle Griffin, asked him some tough questions about the accessibility and affordability of health care in this country.
She asked the kind of questions that every politician in this country needs to face.
She's clearly fed up with pious platitudes from politicians in both parties.
Here's a link to a story at the Washington Post and a video of the exchange.

Dismissing suggestions that the Railway Budget was West Bengal-centric, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said those raising the issue are "humiliating" the state and advised journalists not to ask "politically manipulative" questions.
"Do not humiliate (West) Bengal by parroting it," Ms. Banerjee said, on being asked whether special attention has been given in the Budget for her home state with an eye on Assembly elections next year.
"Your question is totally politically manipulative," she said in an outburst during her post-budget media briefing.
Ms. Banerjee, who was repeatedly interrupted by MPs in the Lok Sabha during her speech, said she cannot "satisfy 800 people (MPs)... I have given wagon industry to Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Guwahati." The maximum number of projects have been given to other states, she said.
However, Ms. Banerjee said West Bengal "cannot be left out from development" and she has to take up the cause of the state like other ministers do for theirs. "Do you think Bengal should be left out from the development?" she asked.
The major announcements relating to West Bengal are in regard to expansion of Kolkata Metro Network, port connectivity, proposed introduction of Sanskriti Express to mark 150th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore as also Bharat Teerth trains. More superfast non-stop Duronto trains would be introduced for the state.
Besides, West Bengal figures prominently in other plans like new lines and doublings of tracks.

I rescued this one eyed Rosy Barb who was living happily in my tank. After contracting costia twice now, and then pop-eye, I decided to euthanize her. I called my boss to ask how they do it at work, not trusting googles baking soda amounts. She advised as little water as possible and lots of baking soda. I had like 3/4 cup of water and 3 or 4 tbsp of baking soda. After a minute, she was still alive. I went to school for biology and having done many dissection labs, I severed her spinal cord. Next
I just planted a 20G high tank and put in a beautiful piece of gnarly looking wood and some rocks. I'm just waiting for it to cycle, but I've already purchased 10 glowlights that are sitting in another relatively empty tank. I've gone through many a stocking plan.
- was gonna do indonesian theme: betta or gourami, glass catfish, rasboras
- ghost theme: glass catfish, ghost shrimp, glow lights, bristle nose
but then... I wanted to go for more of an Americas theme since
So, I started off with a 10 gallon for goldfish from before I knew what I was doing. Got rid of them. I acquired a 3 gallon nano tank that I used for guppy fry and no I'm going to put a shrimp in. Then, a 15 gallon hospital tank with a double stand. And now I'm getting my 20 gallon display tank I want to put glowlight rasboras and a wild betta in and do a planted set up. The ten gallon is going to be guppies and platys. Their fry will most likely become food for the betta. Oh what an addictive hobby

TRINIDAD: It's official now. Anil Kumble, India's highest wicket-taker, has announced his retirement from One-day cricket. The 36-year old made this known to his India team-mates at a team meeting on Monday night here at their hotel.
A member of the team said on condition of anonymity that the meeting had only two agendas – Kumble's retirement and discussion on team's travel plan to India.
"While we could sense it coming but when it actually came, it was shocking. It has been that kind of World Cup where the team has been getting one bad news after the other," this player said.
Sources informed that a public announcement to this effect will be made when the team returns home.
The right-arm leg spin-googly bowler has actually been on the verge of retirement from One-day cricket for quite sometime now. And many feel that the a disastrous World Cup tournament has only accelerated the matter.
"A shot at the World Cup was his last tryst with the One-dayers but the fact that he will be available for selection in the Test matches is a relief," said the player.
Kumble first thought it proper to inform the captain Rahul Dravid, vice-captain Sachin Tendulkar and coach Greg Chappell before making this announcement to the rest of his team-mates. Therefore just before the team-meeting at 7 PM on Monday evening called upon the trio and informed them. In the meeting he made a formal speech to the squad.
"He thank to all members of the squad for their help and support over the years. Anil bhai did look emotional but sure about his decision. He jokingly also thanked all the fielders and the wicket-keeprs who took catches off his bowling, made stumpings and also joined in those vociferous appeals," said a member of the team.
Though he has 337 wickets in 271 One-day Internationals but in last three to four years Kumble wasn't a sure starter in the shorter version of the game. Often it was Harbhajan Singh who has got a nod ahead of him in the team for the One-dayers. It is clear from the fact that he has played just 20 games in last four seasons picking 22 wickets.

Kevin Garnett leads the Celtics with 10 points. Rajon Rondo has posted eight points and six rebounds.
Glen Davis committed another tough foul against the Cavaliers. He practically leapt at Antawn Jamison and knocked him to the ground while shooting a 3-pointer. He picked up three fouls in the first half.
The Celtics are 0-for-6 from behind the arc while the Cavs are 5-for-12.

Thursday's the new Friday – so let's celebrate with Blather!
Beaut.ie Blather: Thursday
Liked this? Here's more!
41 Replies to "Beaut.ie Blather: Thursday"
Morning Bobby Pins, god you're awful cheery and full of beans this morning, how do you manage it? I'm here with my eyelids propped up on toothpicks waiting for the caffeine to kick in.
Seriously BobbyPins, you were at deaths door (well not quite) yesterday and look at your now, totally recovered! or have you just decided not to let the lurgy get you down!!!! That's my girl…
Have to say I'm a bit ahead of myself this morning, I was in work at 7.30, wrote all my christmas cards, and am now having a well deserved cuppa before I start the day.
SOAP AND GLORY TOMORROW…… I'll be legging it to my nearest boots to pick me up a little treat….
I've now just begun singing in my head – Every stop I make, I make a new friend – just turn around, something something something and I'm gone again!!!!!
Thanks for that BP
BP take heart, I'm beginning to think being absolutely useless is genetically built into boys. Being momma to a just turned 2 year old I've recently noticed that even he expects women to do everything for him. Getting him ready for his bath last night and while I was sorting out towels etc he started roaring for help to get up on our bed….he was calling me to help him, I was in the hall, his father was sitting on the bed beside him. He either thinks women are there to serve him…or he's cottoned on to the fact that his father is clean useless and momma will always do it better.
Well, BP, I went to work this morning, threw up part of my breakkie (the tangerine was NOT a good idea), went to see our doctor, she examined me, told me to go home, sleep and drink flat coke because I had lost too much nutrients to be able to stay at work, and she gave me something for the stomach cramps. So I'm back home, in my pjs, watching something about monks in an abbey somewhere in France, they seem to live a rather nice life, really. And they have a HUGE library.
So I think today I'll sleep and watch telly. The doctor also told me not to eat unless I was hungry, and rather just drink. Gosh, I don't remember ever having been so weak before.
Hope you all have a nice day, I'll pop in from time to time between naps.
Oh the frog, that sounds nasty, rest up now so you're all better for the silly season!
EvieM – I hear ya girl! My mission is to make my son be someone a Girlf / wife would be proud to take on in the future, capable of picking things up off the floor, putting his own dirty clothes in the laundry basket etc etc
((Hugs)) The Frog, feel better
Dollface, me too, but I'll go even farther than putting his clothes in the basket, he'll be taught how to use the washing machine and cook too. My mother introduced you to the washing machine at 12 and if you wanted your clothes washed after that you did it yourself.
Morning ladies,
Oh my days feel better soon the frog, u poor pet xx
Bobbypins boys are retards, mine used to dote on me, now im the one who makes the dinner, ugh, but in saying that i wouldnt be without him, maybe mr BP will suprise you xx
I have my 'friends night out' xmas party sat cant wait, gots to get myself a guna in town tonight after work, hope i see something or ill be going in my festive pjs!!!
Weeeee only 6 working days till holidays!!
Exactly EvieM!! My fella just turned 6 so he's only at the putting his own clothes in the basket stage now but he'll definitely be graduating to washing machine duty when he's old enough!! And dishwasher duty, vacuum duty etc etc, ha ha, some of the future mammies of Ireland will be thanking us
BP Maybe we could by a flux capacitor, send them back in time, and somehow get their brains to stay in the 'honeymoon' period forever
"heady first three months of a relationship"….hah!! BobbyPins, that's called sex, I've a faint recollection of it but it hasn't happened much since I had the small man Lol
Morning girls
The frog,big hugs.Isn't it amazing how quickly a few days of not eating will leave you so weak.A duvet day for you today!
Ah girls,my precious little boy who adores me and me him,was at a Christmas market with my husband when they happened on a jewellery stall.Will we buy mum a lovely pair of earrings asked my husband….naaah,answers the boy.I had to laugh,he really has maleness genetically imprinted.He frequently gives out to me for,and I quote,wasting our money on rubbish like vases and new duvet covers…..men!
Feeling particularly self destructive last night after seeing my big ass self in all my glory in a full length mirror coming down an escalator,I decided to play a game of "who looks older than mum"with my daughter.Turns out the answewr is nobody.Every mother of every school friend I asked about looks younger than me,even her school principal who is in her mid fifties.When I asked her what makes me look so old she replied,totally without malice,your hair,your face,your clothes and your hands…..cripes almighty
Morning ladies. I was in Ireland last weekend or my annual Christmas visit and it's still so expensive! Even compared to London it was crazy! I don't know how people afford to go out over there at all. I kept hearing prices are coming down but I didn't see it.
Morning all.
thefrog – hope you feel better soon.
Was joking bout wanting a day off before Christmas last week and woke up this morning feeling like death warmed up. Sore throat, headache & sneezing. Karma is not my friend.
Sacre Bleu thefrog – you really have a bad dose. But look on the bright side, best you get it now and done and over with so your bright and ready for christmas.
Ah BP – so ye met just before christmas, how romantic. I bet he's just trying to make you feel like he's forgetting.
Co – good luck with the shopping,I can't even face a shop at the moment for something to wear for me.
Muppypupper that is hilarious! She probably things aging is a positive thing though, ya know, my mammy is the oldest, therefore she is better than all other mammys!
Mummypupper – stop it this instant. You are a young, beautiful woman with beautiful (and very direct) children. I will not hear you beat yourself up this day!!! What do kids know? Anyone over 15 is ancient to them.
witchgirl – it was bound to reach you, we've all had it. Feel better soon and get yourself a vesscchhtt!!!!!
@mummypupper, how old is pupperette? I remember, when I was about 5 or 6, my gran asked me how old I thought she was and I answered "oh, at least 80!". She was 52 at the time. So, take comfort in the fact that for children "old" is a fairly relative concept or you can use her remarks to justify (if you need a justification) to go shopping or try a new haircut? As a treat?
Thanks for the get-well wishes, beaut.ies.
I think my problem was only made worst by general tiredness, the weather (still -8° this morning), and the cold I have been carrying for a week or so. And of course sitting through a rugby game on Saturday night with -2°. But you're right @mummypupper, it's amazing how quickly you can lose energy in a couple of days.
I'm trying to see the bright side and think I'll be in top form for Christmas, rested and all that.
Morning. I wish it was good but it's not; it's medoicre out there.
G'Day Bobbypins; the heads a bit sniffly today, feeling drowsy and the throats sore. If this is the flu jab doing it's job then send for it's P 45; I'd rather be sick in style
I'm laughing away at the tales of male laziness here. That shit didn't go on in our house. Mum often tells people of her going out a week after my sister was born and Dad being more than happy to take over. Anytime she wasn't around he was well able to cook, wash and do stuff. Though he sucked at sewing and Irish homework
Mummypupper, your daughter clearly needs glasses

|An exploration of selected concepts from Judith Butler : with application to the understanding of gender identity in social work practice with marginalized female adolescents
|Hough, Amie Marie
|Master of Social Work - MSW
|Social Work
|Copyright Date:
|Publicly Available in cIRcle
|Traditional notions of female adolescent development assume identity formation as a central issue that is achieved or solidified in order to reach a psycho-developmental milestone. While identity is traditionally theorised as being agentic in nature, the concept of identity itself remains in contention as it does not capture the fluidity of the interaction between the person and their environment, particularly if the environment is oppressive and exclusive. Consequently, this paper suggests how social work can incorporate innovative critical and post-structural theory when analysing the marginalised female adolescent, by introducing Judith Butler as a new voice for social work, whose work on gender identity the feminist critique has been argued to be some of the most important advancements in the area of feminist and political studies in the twentieth century (Lloyd, 2007). Butler"s contribution to the area of gender politics, post-feminist and queer studies have been argued as groundbreaking and innovative, and thus I argue, should be included in social work practice and education, particularly when considering the impact of structure on the individual. To guide my inquiry, I have selected specific concepts from Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity (1990, 1999) and Bodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of "Sex" (1993) to analyse the marginalised female experience in modern society. In Butler"s popular texts, she discusses gender identity and its relation to performativity under regulatory discourse, and how intelligible subjects are formed under the heterosexual matrix and the masculine signifying economy. Furthermore, Butler"s concept of subversion imparts important ideas about contesting oppressive structures, and honouring the diversity and dignity and worth of each person in society; principles that are congruent with social work values. I further suggest that Butler"s concepts offer innovative ways to think about enduring issues in social work practice including: (1) social justice, (2) the power of discourse in the formation of oppression and exclusion, and (3) the acknowledgment of diversity. Finally, I seek to apply Butler"s concepts to current social work practice with the marginalized female adolescent and to provide the reader with suggestions for future research and practice application.

Energy and Emissions Data
New Coal Report Underscores the Urgent Need for Global Clean Energy DevelopmentPosted by Ailun Yang on Dec 20, 2012
The latest International Energy Agency's (IEA) Medium-Term Coal Market Report 2012 re-confirms the dangerous path the world is on–a path of increasing dependence on coal, which carries serious environmental risks for people and the planet. According to the report, the world will burn 1.2 billion metric tons more coal per year by 2017 compared to today, surpassing oil as the world's top energy source.
Second National Communication on Climate Change of the People's Republic of ChinaPosted by National Development and Reform Commission of the People's Republic of China on Dec 8, 2012
China submitted its "Second National Communication on Climate Change of the People's Republic of China" to the UNFCCC in November 2012. The Communication contains a national greenhouse gas inventory of China's emissions in 2005, and descriptions of the impacts of climate change in China and China's policies and actions on climate change mitigation.
China's latest energy consumption data reveals new opportunities and challengesPosted by Wee Kean Fong on Nov 5, 2012
The Chinese Government recently announced the long-awaited provincial energy consumption data for 2011. The data shows that China's energy intensity in 2011 was 0.793 tons coal equivalent (tce) per unit gross domestic product (GDP), 2.01% less than 2010. The data also reveals new opportunities and challenges for achieving China's energy intensity target under the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (12FYP) (2011-2015).

China At Durban: First Steps Toward a New Climate AgreementPosted by Deborah Seligsohn on Dec 16, 2011
The UN Climate Conference in Durban, South Africa, concluded over the weekend with a consensus to negotiate an agreement that will include all major emitters of warming gases. The conference agreed to a second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol, extended the work of the group for Long-term Cooperative Action, and most significantly established new negotiations under the Durban Platform. Launching these negotiations was hailed as major progress around the world (Bloomberg, The Statesman, Xinhua). For the first time the world's three major emitters (by total amount of greenhouse gases emitted), China, the United States and India, have agreed to begin negotiations for an international "protocol, another legal instrument or an agreed outcome with legal force," indicating that there will be actions and efforts by all countries. (For the implications of this complex legal wording, see my colleague Jake Werksman's discussion on WRI Insights).
Chinese experts discuss absolute emissions limits in DurbanPosted by Angel Hsu, Jonathan Smith and Max Song on Dec 6, 2011
The idea of a total cap on energy consumption in China, first suggested last March before the National People's Congress has reemerged in Durban, and surprisingly there are now suggestions that China might consider some kind of a cap on carbon emissions. This has been suggested apparently as part of domestic policy rather than as a negotiating position, but details are very sketchy.
Propelling the Durban climate talks - China announces willingness to consider legally binding commitments post-2020Posted by Angel Hsu on Dec 6, 2011
When China launched its first official pavilion at a UN climate conference on Sunday, UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Secretariat Cristiana Figueres was there alongside China's NDRC Vice Minister Xie Zhenhua to cut the ribbon. Swarmed by journalists in the standing-room only conference center of the China pavilion in Durban, Figueres applauded China for being a "trend-setter" in global renewable energy, resonating around the world and during the first week of climate negotiations in Durban.
Bridging Gaps in Durban: What Can China do?Posted by Angel Hsu, Max Song, and Jonathan Smith on Dec 2, 2011
Interview with China energy expert Jiang Kejun, Energy Research Institute, NDRC
As the first week of the UN climate negotiations in Durban are underway, one of the most persistent themes has been how to bridge gaps - the divide between the developed and developing countries, many of whom disagree about whether the Kyoto Protocol should be extended into a second commitment period; the hole in climate finance pledges from developed countries; and the ambition or emissions gap between the Copenhagen pledges and the stabilization of global temperatures below a 2 degrees Celsius increase from pre-industrial levels.
China's NDRC issues 'barometer' for Regional Energy GoalsPosted by Angel Hsu on Aug 10, 2011
China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) recently released a "barometer" to show regional progress toward energy conservation goals in the first half of 2011. While the 12th Five-Year Plan announced in March a goal of reducing energy intensity 16 percent by 2015, more detailed plans as to how this overall target is being allocated to provinces has yet to be released, although recent reports suggest that these details will be revealed soon.

Dude, go back, wrong side!
I'm tagging along on your little ride enjoying the pictures. I'm supposed to be there right now as well but over the course of the summer all my companions bailed for one reason or another. Next year I go alone, screw 'em.
As to your disappointment with Strelvio, if you came up the south side from Bormio and turned left to drop down the Umbrail connection to Switzerland you missed "Stelvio". The stunning pass of legend is on the north side! Its more fun to go down than up not just because of the jazz you get from the steepness of the headwall but also because you can see around the corners. Going up from the north you just have to slow to a crawl to turn yourself around to see whats comming down. There's no flow to it, it's just impressive as hell with the biggest peak in the eastern alps as backdrop. Now get back up there and ride the damn thing, just to say you did!
Have a great time. Sid

We left the Guzzi factory today at 4:00pm and punched in 'Munich' as our destination on the GPS. Miss Garmin wanted us to go through Switzerland, but I wanted to stay in Italy as long as possible. So our route has taken us back to Bormio, where we sit right now in the hotel lounge. Tomorrow is 90% chance of rain here from 6am to 6pm, with snow and a high of 33 degrees up on the pass. I've no interest in riding it in those conditions.
So tomorrow is a non-riding day (most likely). Pete wants to have a chance to experience a little of Italy on foot, just waling around town and such, so we'll do that tommorow. Weather on Thursday is supposed to be clear, and it's a 4-ish hour ride back to the bike rental place in Munich via Stelvio, the SW and NE sides! So as you request, a second Stelvio run is planned for Thursday. But still, it's not even close to my favorite of this week. Not even in the top 5 stretches of road we've enjoyed, at least for me. The most famous is almost never the best. Isn't it great that there are as many roads as opinions? I really hope you make it here next year. I'm having a great time sharing this with a good friend, but alone is probably better than not at all. This riding is something you just shouldn't miss if at all possible.
Lots more pic tomorrow, the internet at the hotel is S-L-O-W!

Guzzi Museum photos
We both really liked the Moto Guzzi museum. The trip over was good, we'll post about that tomorrow (it's 1130pm here!). We liked the mix of as-found condition and restored, the mix of old and new, pretty much all signage in Italian and English, the wide variety, and lots of other things. A bit disappointed not to be able to get a Guzzi patch or sticker or something as a souvenir, they didn't have much other than high dollar stuff (this is Moto Guzzi, after all!). Pete asked about the ID holder lanyard that was on display. The nice woman said she didn't know, had to ask another worker. They had a brief conversation in Italian and concluded (I suppose) that none were available. Did they bother to tell Pete, to answer his question? Um.. no. They just kept on talking with each other.
For ghte and other who can't make it to the Guzzi Museum this week, here's a link to over 200 pictures that Pete and I took there. Some are pretty much duplicates that we both took, some are not so great, but if you want to wade through them, I've posted the all pictures HERE

I've been riding a rented F800gs for 5 days now and have a few thoughts to convey...
I'm glad I followed all the recommendations on various forums to go lighter and smaller and not get a R1200RT. I would've wrecked once or twice in the decreasing uphill hairpin turns with a bigger bike.
I hate the seat. There is NO flat spot. Instead, it slopes all the way down to the "tank" plastic pushing me forward all the time, kind of like standing on a steep downhill.
I'm not a fan of BMW turn signals, left on the left and right on the right with the cancel button above the right. There's nothing wrong with that, I just don't care for it.
That's the only negatives I can come up with. The bike has run like a dream and is very sporty on these tight roads. On a run up or down the big passes I tend to stay in 2nd or 3rd gear for the tight stuff and it's been a blast. If I had it to do again (and I will as soon as I get home and sell everything I own!) I think a R800R might be about perfect.
Like Jim said the net is slow here, but pics will be added tomorrow. The Guzzi stop was great but because of the call for rain tomorrow we "tunnel slabbed" it up to Bormio to get back to some of the great riding before I have to turn the bike in Friday morning. One of the tunnels was 8km long! ... and we probably went through 10-12 tunnels this afternoon alone,

Moto Guzzi Factory and Museum (Photos)
We were at the Guzzi museum yesterday. It's somewhere I've always wanted to go. Jim linked all of our source photos earlier but I thought I'd put some up here to whet your appetite. There are windows everywhere in the display areas so my apologies up front for the glare on almost every shot;
Just outside the entrance. We had about 45 minutes to spare so we gassed up, cleaned the shields and ate a panini from the bar
The famed entrance to the plant. As we were leaving around 4:30 all of a sudden a bunch of guys came running out and jumped on their bikes and took off.... shift change! I see that at Lockheed Martin down in Ga all the time. I never seen old guys move so fast as when they get off work and don't want to get stuck at the gate!

Tuesday's riding
Before we get too far away, I'll add a bit about the riding on Tuesday. We'd spent the night at the Hotel Central in Samedan, Switzerland.
I mentioned above how nice it was. On the way down the stairs from the room in the morning I saw this picture on the wall.
Cool Vespa sidecar hack, and even a Guzzi in the background! The boy in the photo is Dino, son of the owners of the hotel. He's now the noodle man, and his dad Remo makes their famous home made ravioli. Here's a picture of him now with his mom (who is a blur most of the time she is moving so fast) and Pete in the bar.
Between her basic English and my horrible German we managed to communicate well enough. They are super friendly, even gave us a garage for our bikes in the family building out back. While geting our bikes out that morning Pete spied this in the next garage over.
It's the Vespa! And the oil stain under it makes it seem that it may not have been all that long since it had been out. We didn't go back in to ask them, as it was their rest day (restaurant is closed on Tuesday) and they'd been so nice to us already.
We left Samedan, rode past the exit for St. Moritz, and up the Bernina Pass on Hwy 29. It's a very smooth road with open sweeping turns, nice strights, and good views of the valley and snow-covered peaks.
As is usually the case the road got smaller and twistier as it came to the top, where we found this typical marker
and this not so common one
All I can tell you is that it had a Brembo front caliper. And that it's likely not a simple job to restore. But if you want to have a go at it, it's at the top of Bernina Pass.
The road down the south side was even more fun. Smooth, fast, and almost no traffic.
That little dot on the road is Pete. We stopped at the bottom of the pass in Tirano for a morning coffee break and people watch.
There is a seemingly well-known basilica there I had know nothing about. But WOW!
And don't worry about the tobacco companies, they've still got a chock-hold on the European populace, it seems.
Tough to find an outdoor table anywhere without the smoke from the next table spilling over.
From there it was west on SS38 towards Lake Como, which is a terribly busy road with all kinds of traffic, few turn lanes, and diesel trucks that make the cafe smokers look healthy. We decided to take the turn-off at Morbegno for the Passo San Marco. It was a faint grey line on our map, even smaller than Passo Gavia (which I mentioned above is a challenge in places for two bikes with saddlebags!) It was a very nice ride.
At San Giovani Bianco we turned west on SP25, into a road up a canyon, following a winding stream.
With a great view of the canyon and other valleys from the top.

Rain Delay
AS forecast, the morning arrived with rain and cold. Here's the view out our hotel room.
I know lots of you tough guys ride through anything, but we chose not to. Why not spend a day looking around this nice Italian town end enjoy it? Especially when you hang out in this kind of place while updating your pictures and ride report!
The sitting room of the Hotel San Lorenzo used to be a church, redone by the current owner's father years ago. For those of you into woodworking, check out the panels, which are all book matched!
After some computer time we wandered around taking pictures in the drizzle.
Fixer-upper anyone?
About 1pm the rain quit and the sun came out, so we had lunch on the piazza. And look what beer they brought us! It's our old friend Ayinger from last Friday.
One thing I've learned about this part of Italy is how German it is. I knew this territory had been part of the Austrian empire at different times, but I was surprised to see so many signs, businesses with German names, and so many local people speaking in German.
After lunch we wandered into a little old church and found this, newly restored 16th century frescos in the church of the Holy Spirit.
When we passed through Bormio on Monday I had seen a neat little Bultaco dirt bike, which I got a chance to see up close. It looks like it has about 2 miles on it.
And this is inside the shop where the Bultaco is sitting
Pretty interesting place, with the old jeep, wooden propellers, and a torn-apart Guzzi. No name on the old gas station building, and the guy working there seemed uninterested in our interest. I'm betting he Guzzi is one of those things that will never be for sale and will never get finished. Maybe not. Hope not.
This morning it's 39 degrees and 19 degrees up on Passo Stelvio, which we did indeed miss on Monday as has been pointed out. So after breakfast we head up and over, and back to Munich via small roads.

Great RR, can't get too much of the Alps.
Just to echo Pete's comments of how affordable such a trip is, it's a bargain once you've bitten off the air fare/bike rental bullet. The $100/day is spot on, plus the euro is down about 10% from my trips.

Back to Munich
We had a crisp, clear, and COLD morning, and headed up Stelvio Pass, being careful of ice patches near the top as it was well below freezing up there. Yesterday's run-off was frozen al over the road. And this time we went all the way to the top.
Took a few pictures, bought a sticker, etc. I'm still not a fan. Rough road, lots of rocks in the road, blah blah blah. I think it's like the Mona Lisa. If you go to Paris, everyone expects you to go to the Louvre and see the Mona Lisa. It's the most famous thing there. But once you see the actual painting, for most people it's underwhelming. And almost everyone finds something in the Louvre that is less famous but that they personally enjoy more. I found lots of roads this week that I liked better. Not saying you are wrong if you love Stelvio, or Mona for that matter. To each his own.
Took the scenic and twisty route back to Munich, past the flooded church at Curon Venosta.
Pete returned his rental bike tonight with 1760 km added, only 40 below his agreement limit of 1800. Way to squeeze every dollar, buddy.
We're checked into a hotel and now headed to the Hofbrauhaus to celebrate a great week of riding.
By the way, always carry a spare key to your luggage! You never know when this might happen.
