I'm going big to small
I got into bikes a year ago with a 650 cruiser that I got on a trade and then got an old Tiger 900. I learned on the cruiser and took the test and got my M.
I still have the Tiger (big, tall, heavy, but very cool). I sold the cruiser and got a Super Sherpa 250.
It's so fun and light. It's like motorcycling is fun now! Ok so I'm enjoying the Sherpa a lot and later will move back up in cc's like a normal person.
Guess it's true it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.

yes, i found this out meself a few years back.
i hope to never go back to a portly over-wired over-cylindered street machine. riding a 350 & its more than enough power
Small dual sports are fun in the dirt, they are lighter then big dual sports.
But small street bikes are also fun, the ninja 250/300, the cbr250, the TU250, light, nimble, easy to ride, and you get to ride like its a road race without getting in too much trouble or risking death.
The smaller bikes are also very good in the rain.
Cheap to buy, 70-80 mpg, cheap tires, cheap insurance.
Less overtime to pay for the huge bike means more riding time...
I'm with ya. I went from a 955i Tiger to a 250 trail bike, then up to a 400 for the added torque on the trail (similar size and weight bike as a 250). If some torque is good, more is better... and too much is just right. :evil
As long as its not 400 pounds...
I'm with ya. I had my "dream" bike back in the U.S.--an 1100GS weighing in at meager 550lbs.!
Now I zip through the jungle on a KLX250 and am loving it. It feels like a motorized bicycle in comparison!
Always the raging battle
I've been riding about 50 years now. I've swung back and forth over the years way more times than I care to mention. If I had a big bike I'd want a smaller one. I'd get smaller and then riding opportunities would arise that I'd want a bigger bike to eat up the miles. I've got a 1000 sport touring bike and a 125cc dirt bike in the garage. You'd think I should be happy but sadly no; I've got my eye on the CRF250. With it I could.........
And the saga continues!:rofl
After a few years on the xr650r I ended up with a 08 wr450f at work. It was ok for a minute, but I found the xrr way more comfy (fun) to ride despite the 60-70lbs extra weight.
Then I got the wr suspension worked buy Fineline and it is a new machine; it feels like it should have from the get go; 60-70lbs lighter.
Then I got the wife a crf250 and I almost kept it for myself because it is so fun to ride in the tight stuff. It goes anywhere easily.
A guy really needs more than one bike.
We have three street bikes in the Barn. My two, the Uly and M2, then my wife's Blast. For commuting, I find myself riding the wife's bike more and more. The lighter weight, the easier reach to the ground and tighter turning radius is appreciated. Plus I think it's cool grabbing the tail section and walking the bike around. It does get better gas mileage but not much, 50+mpg versus 40+mpg, plus it runs on cheaper gas, so it does save some money. The tires do not last as long though, getting less than half the mileage of the bigger two.
Would I want to travel on it? I do not know. I have the Ventura rack with two 40 liters bags, plus smaller soft saddlebags which give it storage potential, but do not know if I would appreciate the advantages of the smaller bike on a long haul. I think the perfect stable is the one with choices. Heck, the Blast is not the smallest bike in the barn, there is always the Z50. I wonder if they make a Ventrura rack to fit that?

Sleep Laboratory
The Sleep Labs at CHOP perform a variety of polysomnography studies including overnight sleep studies, multiple sleep latency tests and inpatient studies.
All Sleep Labs are staffed by licensed/registered experts who are trained at CHOP. The labs are all equipped with the same state-of-the-art polysomnography equipment and all studies are read by board certified sleep physicians.
What is a sleep study?
During a sleep study, we place sensors on your child's head to measure and record the electrical activity of your child's brain during sleep to assess stages of sleep. In addition, we place special sensors near your child's nose, chest and abdomen to measure his breathing. We may place sensors on your child's legs to measure movement during sleep. All these sensors are applied externally to the skin and scalp.
A sleep technologist monitors your child throughout the night. Children are monitored for the quality and quantity of their sleep. Each of the laboratories is equipped with low-level, infrared lights that allow the room to be dark while your child is monitored and observed. Specially mounted cameras are used to record your child's activities while sleeping. We also monitor your child's breathing and body movements. This helps us diagnose and treat disorders of breathing during sleep as well as movement disorders, problems initiating or maintaining sleep and behavioral sleep disorders.
We help with the evaluation and management of children with obstructive sleep apnea, as well as chronic lung diseases, degenerative muscle disease with chronic respiratory failure, hypoventilation syndrome and respiratory control disorders.
Our staff assists in making recommendations about supplemental oxygen, noninvasive ventilatory support in the form of CPAP or BiPAP, and mechanical assisted ventilation during sleep.
Helping children feel comfortable during a sleep study
Your child can bring a toy, teddy bear or a favorite blanket from home to help her feel more comfortable. Children usually feel more comfortable if a parent or guardian stays with them — that's why we provide an extra bed in the child's room. In addition, each bedroom has a television and VCR. Our facility also has a bathroom, microwave and refrigerator. If you need to take a shower you may use any shower area on the sixth, seventh or eighth floor of the Main Building.

8756: XvMC not working on 7300 Go
Anyone managed to get XvMC working on a Geforce Go 7300? I'm using mplayer on Ubuntu Dapper AMD64 and here's what happens:

... and after that mplayer crashes with 'MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: decode_video'.
Re: 8756: XvMC not working on 7300 Go
I had to turn off Composite in xorg.conf, and then switch the order of -vc and -vo, then it worked.
Also, for xine, i had to make a file named /etc/X11/XvMCConfig containing only one line:
Xine's usage is called xxmc, DON'T USE XINE'S XVMC, IT WON'T WORK.
Now both mplayer and xine (which i prefer) both use xvmc extension, but I lose the kde shadows and trans because of shutting off composite.
Dr. Tyrell
Re: 8756: XvMC not working on 7300 Go
Thanks Dr. Tyrell, that fixed xine / gxine for me! Using XvMC gives a very nice improvement in CPU usage over plain Xv.
Unfortunately MPlayer is still crashing with XvMC. Turning off composite didn't help and neither did switching the -vo -vc order. But I'm starting to think it's probably a bug in the Ubuntu MPlayer package since Xine has no problems with the XvMC extension. Time to file a bug report. :)
Re: 8756: XvMC not working on 7300 Go
You need to build an mplayer against the libs that come with 8756.
--enable-xvmc --with-xvmclib=XvMCNVIDIA
Re: 8756: XvMC not working on 7300 Go
PenGun, thanks - that did the trick! I compiled MPlayer against the new libs and XvMC is now working.
Btw. Is this really necessary every time a new driver is released? I thought XvMC was a standardized interface and that only a set of driver libraries is needed for it to work. Or is it just MPlayer that's particularly cranky?
Re: 8756: XvMC not working on 7300 Go
I think it's just mplayer. I was surprised that it needed to be recompiled.
Re: 8756: XvMC not working on 7300 Go
I'm encountering problems to make my GeForce 7300 Go work on my Asus A6Vm notebook. Once the file have been installed X.org crashes by telling me that my video card is not supported by the drivers. So I wonder whether you had some trouble for installing the nVidia drivers, ehlevi !
Otherwise I'm going to begin the Linux driver installation again :D
Re: 8756: XvMC not working on 7300 Go
Bzzzttt, if you're experiencing problems with xvmc, please provide the following:
0) nvidia-bug-report.log
1) full mplayer output with XVMC_DEBUG=2
2) The type of media you are trying to play with mplayer

Andy Peterson, Published May 23 2013
Letter: Criticism of business tax cuts misses obvious benefits for NDIn his column dated May 19, Lloyd Omdahl tried to make the case that tax cuts to businesses and property owners who live out of state are a bad thing. It appears, then, that Omdahl would prefer to discriminate against the businesses that employ thousands of North Dakotans with meaningful work, businesses that provide services we use and enjoy, and businesses that help make our communities great places to call home. He also does not think that people responsibly paying taxes should receive the same reductions as their neighbors because of where they receive their mail.
We, on the other hand, are proud of the work the Legislature accomplished to equitably lower tax rates for ALL individuals and businesses of our great state. We created the economic success together and we share it together. These companies and individuals should not be sent to the back of the line.
Omdahl then discussed his preference for the homestead tax credit approach. That was, in fact, debated at length during the legislative session. In light of the long-range planning Omdahl was calling for, the homestead credit option was rejected on the grounds that it would lead to an uneven tax base shifted unfairly to agriculture and commercial property. The legislature more wisely applied the reductions equally to all property owners. This is the best way to approach property tax relief.
Finally, Omdahl writes that much of our success is simply due to oil tax revenue.
While he certainly isn't wrong, he fails to address the other sectors of our economy that are also booming – agriculture (still the No. 1 industry in our state), manufacturing, technology and many other secondary businesses that support our oil and gas development. They, too, are playing a large role in our budget surpluses. These sectors also deserve to share in our state's prosperity.
A responsible government is one that, in times of excess, returns its surplus to those taxpayers who have paid it. Under Omdahl's plan, only some of those taxpayers would get to benefit. That is a clear example of government picking winners and losers, something we cannot support.
We believe the Legislature upheld that in North Dakota, all citizens and businesses are entitled to share in its prosperity equitably. If you pay taxes in North Dakota, your taxes will be lower. Period. That's the kind of North Dakota I am proud to live in.
Peterson is president/CEO, Greater North Dakota Chamber.

Alex Ovechkin, Russian coach throat slash after winning hockey gold (video)
May 27, 2014, 11:10 AM EDT
Alex Ovechkin and Russian hockey coach Oleg Znarok made throat-slashing gestures toward a camera while celebrating Russia's gold medal at the World Hockey Championships, after Znarok had been suspended for the final following a throat-slash gesture toward a Swedish assistant in the semifinals.
Without Znarok at the helm, Russia beat Finland 5-2 for gold in Minsk, Belarus, on Sunday, partially making up for a disastrous Olympic showing.
Znarok rejoined the team and Ovechkin afterward. Next to Znarok, Ovechkin essentially says, "Here it is," and lifts his gold medal in the above video.
The Latvian Znarok was hired in March to replace Olympic coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov, who guided the Russians to a quarterfinal exit in Sochi.
Znarok and Swedish assistant Rikard Gronborg argued after a hit late in Russia's 3-1 win over Sweden in the semifinals Saturday. Znarok made a throat-slashing gesture toward Gronborg during the exchange.
Both coaches were suspended for Sunday's gold- and bronze-medal games, respectively, with the IIHF providing this explanation.
In the case of Znarok, he was found to be in violation in accordance with IIHF Rule 551 D)3 for making an obscene gesture to Gronborg.

A war for the riches of votes (and oil).
These terrorists aren't trying to kill us because we offended them. They attack us because they want to impose their view of the world on as many people as they can, and America is standing in their way. ~Marco Rubio
A new national Democratic group plans to community organize Texas around the idea that Texans should put away their rugged individualism and replace it with a nanny state. The organization, "Battleground Texas", will engage the state's rapidly growing Latino population, as well as African-American voters and other Democratic-leaning constituencies that tend to be low propensity voters in the state.
Democrats are launching an ambitious plan in Texas: They want to turn the red state blue, and they're looking to Latinos to make that happen.
According to Politico, the party wants to take advantage of the rapidly changing demographics of the state and mobilize new, more progressive-minded, voters.
Politico reports that a group of Democrats is forming an organization, "Battleground Texas," that plans to put tens of millions of dollars over the next several years into a plan to engage underrepresented voting populations.
Last week I attended Right Online Texas, where one of the sessions focused on Hispanic Outreach. What I took away from it was that the way to reach the Hispanic population is by earning their trust, on a personal basis. Democrats do this well, by taking a long and patient view whereas Republicans tend to want to swoop in and change hearts and minds in a single campaign season. History has shown that Democrats have been able to change the mindset of our youth by years and years of efforts in the public school system, and in our universities — we would be fools to discount them here.
Democrats also know how to pick their battles, they don't lose sight of the end goal, mired down in issues that divide their constituencies, or scare off the target voters. Republicans, on the other hand………..what can I say?
I believe that the goal of this new group could be accomplished rather easily, and quickly, by an amnesty package that grants our new "citizens" the right to vote, which is not so farfetched considering how far we've come in four years. Amnesty is on the table right now, and Republicans are going to be portrayed as Mr. Potter in It's a Wonderful Life by refusing to grant benefits (social security, medicaid, medicare) to our newest "citizens" – voting rights are simply the next step. Think about what that means for a well organized Democrat militia that targets the Hispanic community with its message that Uncle Sam will care for and educate its chidren to bring them out of poverty, whereas Republicans secretly desire to deport their grandma.
The Attorney General of Texas, Greg Abbott, spoke at Right Online, and described his job this way: "I go the office. I sue the federal government. Then I go home". Thank the Lord we have someone who is willing to put it out there, who is not afraid to be on the front lines against a regime that intends to impose its extremist views on the rest of us. Obama's progressive allies will not stop in trying to collectivize our efforts and redistribute the rewards of our success, they continue their assault by focusing on the deep red state that houses 34 electoral votes – ahead of New York, Florida and Illinois. Texans are lucky to have Abbott who understands what is on the line, just as Virginians are fortunate to have their own Greg Abbott in the form of Ken Cuccinelli.
Republicans are going to have to prepare a viable strategy, a coherent and sympathetic plan that coalesces all conservative groups across the state, so that the party doesn't end up locked inside the Alamo, just waiting for the end. We can't pretend that "Welcome to America, here's your voting card, your food stamps, your childcare, your health care, just check this box!" is simply a nightmare fantasy ….. The invaders have made Texas its target, and it is a very rich target. Think of it like securing Afghanistan so that it doesn't become a fortress of evildoers……if we lose Texas, the bad guys win forever.

Another day, another step closer to the record. Our Devil Rays won their fourth series of the year against the Blue Jays by taking the finale 3-2. Fan favorite Eric "Shitske" Hinske scored the winning run in the 4th inning, and our bullpen provided 4 shutout innings of relief. (A bullpen that the drunkest of Jays fans called "fairly shitty," and which currently leads the Majors in batting average against.) Thus the countdown continues….
The Devil Rays franchise record for victories in a season is set to fall sometime next week. While some would rather pretend the first 10 years of Devil Ray baseball never happened, we here at Bugs & Cranks have always seen them for what they truly were…. A Prelude To Dynasty.
With every win until the record falls, we'll look back and commemorate the accomplishments and sacrifices of those proud, heroic Devil Rays who made this historic season possible. We continue with a look back at every 63rd win in the history of Devil Ray baseball, and try to determine which was the greatest of all….
September 21, 1998 – Fenway Park. Devil Rays 8, Boston 4. After Boston got lucky and won the first half of a doubleheader to increase their lead in the Wild Card, our Devil Rays dominated the second tilt. Bubba Trammel put the game out of reach with a 3-run homer in the 7th, capping a 2-for-3, 5 RBI night. Devil Rays starter Terrell Wade was making his first big league appearance in over a year, and went 5 strong innings to earn his first and only win as a D-Ray (and the last win of his career). Quinton McCracken also had two hits, giving him 175 for the season and tying the record for most hits in a season on an expansion team. The win guaranteed our Devil Rays wouldn't lose 100 games — a fate that befell 5 of the previous 12 first-year teams.
September 15, 1999 – Tropicana Field. Devil Rays 8, Mariners 4. In the second, an Alex Rodriguez error led to an unearned run that gave the Devil Rays their second lead of the game. The Mariners tied the game in the 7th, but in the bottom half of the inning Herbert Perry's homer put the Devil Rays up for good. Miguel Cairo and Dave Martinez both had 3-hit games.
September 24, 2000 – SkyDome. Devil Rays 6, Toronto 0. Rookie Travis Harper earned his first big league win in his 4th start and 5th of what would be 240 appearances on the mound for our Devil Rays. Harper pitched his first complete game and faced just 31 batters, allowing only 2 hits and a walk. Losing pitcher Steve Trachsel was quoted after the game, saying "Harper pitched his a– off." Our Devil Rays pulled ahead in the 6th on The Crime Dog Fred McGriff's RBI single, and John Flaherty provided some cushion with a 2-run homer in the 8th. The loss kept the Blue Jays 3.5 back in the Wild Card race with 7 games left.
September 28, 2003 – Tropicana Field. Devil Rays 3, Red Sox 1. Our Devil Rays came from behind, scoring all 3 of their runs in the bottom of the eighth to complete a 2-game sweep of the Red Sox. Carl Crawford stole his 55th base of the year to lead the American League. Aubrey Huff had two hits to finish the year with a .311 average, breaking the Devil Rays record set by Fred McGriff — and an RBI to break McGriff's Devil Rays RBI mark. Victor Zambrano improved his record to 12-10 on the year, and tied a club record with his 26th victory as a Devil Ray.
September 17, 2004 – SkyDome. Devil Rays 11, Toronto 4. A four-run Devil Ray 5th knocked out Toronto starter Josh "Fawlty" Towers and blew the game open, punctuated by a 2-run Tino Martinez triple. In the 7th, after the Jays had intentionally walked Jose Cruz to get to him, rookie third baseman B.J. Upton extended the lead with a 2-out, 3-run homer. Manager "Captain Lou" Piniella was impressed with Upton's opposite-field shot: "I didn't realize he's as strong as he is, he hit that ball like a young Alex Rodriguez." (Piniella, of course, managed Rodriguez as a rookie, and encouraged the young slugger by kissing him tenderly on the head and telling him he loved him whenever he failed.) Carl Crawford extended club single-season record for steals (56) and runs scored (95). With the loss, the Blue Jays dropped further into the AL East cellar, 4 games behind our fourth-place Devil Rays.
September 19, 2005 – Tropicana Field. Devil Rays 8, Red Sox 7. Our Devil Rays batted around in the 4th, knocking out Boston starter David Wells and taking a 4-2 lead. In the 6th inning, our Devil Rays retook the lead when Jorge Cantu hit a 2-run blast off rookie reliever Jonathan Papelbon. With the homer, Cantu tied Aubrey Huff's Devil Rays single-season RBI record. A big moment came in the next half inning, when Jesus Colome came in with David Ortiz on second, and protected a one-run lead by striking out Manny Ramirez and getting Kevin Millar to fly out. Carl Crawford got the last of his 3 hits in the 8th and later scored an important insurance run. D-Rays starter Mark Hendrickson improved his record to 10-7, and tied Viictor Zambrano's club record with his 6th straight win. Closer Danys Baez came on in the 9th to notch his 38th save of the year. The loss left the defending champion Red Sox clinging to a half-game lead over the Yankees in the AL East. Our Devil Rays improved to 37-25 in the second half, clinching their best ever second half record.
September 16, 2007 – Safeco Field. Devil Rays 9, Seattle 2. El Gato Del Crimen Carlos Pena gave our Devil Rays the lead in the fourth inning with a solo shot off Jarrod "D.W." Washburn. With the blast, Pena extended his Devil Ray single-season home run record, and became the first Devil Ray with 40 home runs in a season. In addition to EGDC's home run, our Devil Rays added 6 doubles and 8 singles. Carl Crawford's 2-run double in the 5th put our D-Rays ahead for good, and Delmon Young later drove in 4 more. Starter Andy Sonnanstine picked up his 6th win by holding Seattle to one run on six hits and two walks, while striking out eight in seven innings.
Here's how I would rank them, though it's certainly up for debate and I look forward to your always insightful comments:
- 2005 Outslugging the Red Sox in a tight pennant race
- 2004 Slugging away in Toronto and extended our lead over the Jays
- 2007 EGDC Carlos Pena's 40th homer
- 2000 Travis Harper's complete game 2-hitter at SkyDome
- 1998 Bubba Trammel drives in 5 at Fenway.
- 2003 Come-from-behind victory over the Sox, Huff breaks two records
- 1999 Perry, Cairo and Martinez batter the Mariners
Previously on Counting Down To 70….
I don't mean to be a hater here, but counting up/down to a 70 win season is like counting down the days until you get laid for the second time, no?
Our Devil Rays team and Devil Rays fans are getting a shitload of pussy this year and that will continue for a long, long time. But it's important to remember how you got there. This feature is not so much about the accomplishment, but recognizing all those who might otherwise be forgotten who helped get us there and beyond to the promised land.

Balseros (rafters)
Balseros (Rafters, from the Spanish "Balsa", Raft) is the name given to the persons who emigrate illegally in self constructed or precarious vessels from Cuba to neighbouring states including the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and, most commonly, the United States. The Cuban Rafters, almost always disagree with communism and the Cuban government of the Castro Family.
Mass Cuban emigration to the United States is seen as having had four waves. The first wave before the Cuban Missile Crisis ended travel. The second wave was 1965-1973. The 1980 Mariel Boatlift was the third wave.
Some scholars regard the August 1994 Cuban Rafters Crisis as the fourth wave of Cuban immigration.[1] The 1994 Balseros Crisis was ended by the agreement of the Wet feet, dry feet policy between Bill Clinton and Fidel Castro.

In exactly 2:42, innovative filmmaker Michel Gondry makes up for The Green Hornet. Mr. Gondry, featured in our January 2011 issue, recreates the infamous Robert De NIro starring film, Taxi Driver, in Gondry's signature, playful style. He's back.
Animated Tribute to "Drive"Juxtapoz // Thursday, December 29, 2011
There was mixed reviews of the movie Drive in our office (lots of people loved it, others were a bit down on it), but we really enjoyed seeing this animated tribute to the Ryan Gosling-starring feature film by the duo of Tom Haugomat and Bruno Mangyoku. As we get to the close of 2011, nice to look back on some of the films that got people talking.

Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" TrailerJuxtapoz // Friday, December 23, 2011

Faulconer win a blueprint for national GOP success
If he can pull this off not only does he realize his dream of economic growth and prosperity for San Diego, but he also creates a viable tax base in communities that are dependent on social services. I believe everyone wants a job. I believe everyone wants to work. There is dignity in work. Kevin Faulconer has a chance to put bold Republican talk into bold community action.
In the final analysis, the GOP has a serious image problem. African American voters have not supported national Republican candidates since the early Nixon years. Hispanic voters have swung to the Democrats in the past two elections. And women usually favor Democrats by a wide margin. In Faulconer, the GOP has a rising political star on its hands: He has shown them the way to keep their core conservative fiscal ideology intact and use it effectively as an outreach tool to diverse communities of women and people of color. If Faulconer can govern San Diego as effectively as he campaigned, and get re-elected in 2017, we are looking at a future Republican governor, and maybe even a future president of the United States.

Fighting to stick with your New Year's resolution diet plan already? Here's a tip: instead of those two large mocha Frappuccinos with extra whipped cream you'd buy this week, why not take that $10 and sponsor the ladies at M-Farm as they work to improve the world, one Kenyan farmer at a time? Your waistline, and a small corner of East Africa will thank you for it.
M-Farm, an agribusiness and ICT company, is one of the startups that came out of the iHub in 2010.
This year has kickstarted well for the M-Farm team. They are afinalist for the Unreasonable Institute , an Institute that arms entrepreneurs creating solutions to the world's biggest social and environmental problems with the mentorship, capital, and networks they need to do so.
100s of Entrepreneurs from 60 countries are competing for 25 spots at the Unreasonable Institute. They have so far narrowed it down to 50 finalists and the 1st 25 to raise $10,000 USD will be accepted!
Contesting entrepreneurs are not allowed to pay but are instead challenged to raise that $10,000 from hundreds or thousands of supporters on the Unreasonable Marketplace .
The Marketplace provides the Finalists the chance to demonstrate their entrepreneurial mettle, by challenging them to mobilize the support of hundreds of people around the world. Their reward? Working with 50-world class mentors ranging from HP's CTO Phil McKinney to Paul Polak, who's enabled over 19 million farmers to move out of poverty, forging relationships with 20 impact investment funds, pitching to one hundred investors, getting 6-weeks of food and lodging, and building an ever-growing network of fellow Unreasonable entrepreneurs for the rest of their liveswithout having to pay a dime.
The teams hands, since they can't pay for themselves, are tied but yours are not. Please sponsor them to be Unreasonable this year!Of course we are not expecting you to give anything more than what your heart, mind and pockets can kindly offer,but we do believe in the power of networks and generosity!
Apart from contributing you can support them as well by finding 9 more friends to contribute $10(or less) each. Visit https://marketplace.unreasonableinstitute.org/project/m-farm/
Crowd Sourced Funding using M-PAYER
Mfarm are currently incubated at m:lab East Africa. In the Kenyan spirit of pulling together, Zege Technologies, another m:lab incubatee is supporting mfarm to crowdsource contributions payments via M-Pesa. To use Zege Technologies' M-Payer service to contribute, you may simply pay to the M-Pesa paybill number 531300 giving "MFARM" as the account name.

'Macbeth' is one of William Shakespeare's greatest plays and one of the most inherently cinematic stories ever written. That's why it's been made into a movie multiple times before. That's why a version starring Michael Fassbender is currently in the works. But this is a first: Sean Bean is attached to lead an adaptation of the infamous "Scottish play" for actor-turned-director Vincent Regan ... but only if the project reaches its Kickstarter goal.
Natalie Portman and Michael Fassbender to Work Together After All in 'Macbeth'Britt Hayes April 30, 2013 @ 6:00 PM
Even though Michael Fassbender had to exit 'Jane Got a Gun,' he's still got plans to work with Natalie Portman, who's just signed on to star opposite Fassbender in 'Macbeth.'

Full Throttle Touring - 150 through the Rocket City

Oddometer: 2,848
Hey klaviator...I was born and raised in Huntsville; live in Madison now.
The interstate in front of the space museum.....many a full throttle sportbiker has met their maker on the west bound side. In the curve just as they approach the Rideout Rd overpass. It's a tempting high speed curve. I've been at over 150 mph on it myself. I don't recommend it.
You may know all this...but just in case....
As a long time motorcyclist, the best thing about Huntsville is it's only a few hours from the Smoky Mtns. There are some decent trails over in Bankhead National Forest just East of Decatur. For road riding look for towns like Skyline, Hytop, Hollytree.
Take a ride up to Winchester Tn. .....Head East on Hwy 72. Turn left on Hwy 65 in Paint Rock. Turn right on 146. Turn left on 79.
Oh and, when spring comes we have an 1/8 mile drag strip that has test & tune nights on Friday. A real hoot. Cheap fun. 15 bucks to get in and race all you want. 5 bucks for active military. You don't have to dog your bike, just have fun, Go here:
You'll find Huntsville has a lot of people with ample money. You'll also discover it has so many H-D's you'll want to stick your finger down your throat each morning.
Also, check out Cycles Unlimited in Decatur. Cycle Gear on South Parkway. The closest BMW dealership is in Chattanooga or Birmingham. I prefer Pandoras in Chattanooga; plus it's a better ride taking Hwy 189 (Lookout Mtn Scenic Hwy)
Little River Canyon (Hwy 176) is a nice ride.
Just a few thoughts.....

Holiday Lights Flip Neighbors 'The Bird'
By editor
Originally published on Fri December 21, 2012 8:16 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Sarah Childs says she has a right to free expression. She also has the right to put holiday lights on her roof, and she was furious when police told her take them down. Authorities in Denham Springs, Louisiana threatened her with arrest because the lights were arranged in a particular shape. Ms. Childs went to court. A judge sided with her, issuing a temporary order allowing her to light up the night with the shape of an extended middle finger. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.

How to get rid of sewer flies
If you have flies in your sewer or drain pipes you most probably have Moth Flies, or Psychoda spp. Its scientific name. Moth flies are also called drain flies, some people call them drain gnats, because they are small little flies coming out of your drains in the floor or the bathtubs.
Because moth flies tend to live and bread in drains and may affect the health of human when present in large numbers also because the bodies of dead flies may disintegrate to form potential allergens. Moth flies are also nuisance pests because they land on people or fall into food. In sites where large numbers are present it can be very difficult to talk without swallowing them!

To the Editor:
Recently a private members bill suggesting the creation a new committee, the Northern Committee, was presented at Queen's Park by John Vanthof, the MPP for Timiskaming-Cochrane. Its goal is to address northern issues and finally give northern Ontario a say in Toronto. The committee's membership is solely made up of northern MPP's, save for one, the member from Parry Sound-Muskoka. It's not the purpose of this letter to argue the sides of Mr. Norm Miller or Mr. Vanthof, but rather discuss the issue.
At first we must look at the historical and "legal" reasons for Parry Sound's inclusion in northern Ontario: by definition it is the Territorial District of Parry Sound, territorial districts only exist in northern Ontario, whereas southern Ontario has two-tier governance in the form of counties and regional municipalities (Muskoka included). The only exception to that rule in northern Ontario is the existence of the Regional Municipality of Greater Sudbury. So by that measure, perhaps a district can exist in southern Ontario?
Similarities in employment criteria may also link Parry Sound District with northern Ontario: isolation of some communities, commuting distances, job opportunities, etc. However, there is a different history of what industries have taken hold in Parry Sound, contrasting the rest of Northern Ontario. Sure most of our communities got a start with forestry, but that dried up and the shift to agriculture being the dominant base took form. In addition to this, northern Ontario has always been heavily dependent of mining, something Parry Sound District has only dabbled in, and most certainly has never been the mainstay of the local economy.
Demographics separate Parry Sound District from the rest of the Northeastern Ontario pack as well. Only one municipality in the whole district adheres to the French Language Services Act, (Callander shares a common border with largely francophone communities and boundaries are rather porous, which suggests they have little to do with population shifts). The rest of Northeastern Ontario's districts fully incorporate the legislation, citing a much larger francophone presence there, than here in Parry Sound District.
When comparing the population statistics of Parry Sound to the rest of northern Ontario, it was one of only a few districts with a growing population in the 2011 Census, and was one of the highest (Almaguin actually having the highest growth rate overall).
To look at how the district stacks up with southern Ontario, a direct comparison between Parry Sound District and the County of Haliburton shows some striking figures. The District's population outstrips the County's by 25,000, albeit over twice the size in square kilometres. However when comparing Almaguin with Haliburton which are of comparable sizes, Almaguin alone has a higher population by 5,000.
Perhaps the four-laning of Hwy's 11 and 69/400 on either side of the District, extending a style of highway commonly seen in southern Ontario, led Mr. Vanthof to exclude Parry Sound District from the northern committee. Or perhaps the inclusion of the district in the tourism region of Explorer's Edge, partnered with Muskoka and Algonquin Park (two areas that have been associated-with/included-in southern Ontario for sometime) was another reason for Parry Sound being left out of the new committee.
There has always been great debate over the whereabouts of the boundary between northern and southern Ontario. Is it the Severn River where Muskoka and Simcoe come to meet? Is it at Novar where Muskoka (a district [regional] municipality) ends and Parry Sound (a district) starts? Or is it the French River (and to extension Lake Nipissing and the Mattawa River), where the term 'South of the French' comes from. Even townships are laid out differently on either side of the French River.
If one pulls out a map of Ontario it is easily recognizable that the French River, Lake Nipissing and the Mattawa River make a nice bottleneck, where Ontario is at its narrowest between Georgian Bay and the Ottawa River. Perhaps it is this clearly visible chokepoint that led Mr. Vanthof to draw his line. I believe that Mr. Vanthof's exclusion of Parry Sound District from the Northern Committee has opened up an avenue to discuss Parry Sound's, and Almaguin's, future. Is it governance, geography, population, income, or a combination of all of these that decides what part of Ontario Parry Sound District is lumped into? With many things considered, it is starting to look different from its northern counterparts, and perhaps now is the time we have a healthy and mature discussion of what end of the province we reside.

DOHA, Qatar, March 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Stricter measures to control the illegal trade in wildlife over the Internet were endorsed today at the 15(th) Conference of the Parties (CoP 15) of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) meeting in Doha.

DOHA, Qatar, March 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Parties voted to continue protection for Tanzanian elephants by retaining their listing on Appendix I, and rejecting a request for a one-off ivory sale today at the 15th Conference of the Parties (CoP 15) of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) meeting in Doha. "Fighting to save these elephants paid off today with Parties taking note of the science demonstrating that Tanzanian elephants are...
A UN agency shot down a proposal made to monitor the trade of declining stocks of valuable corals just days after nixing a ban on bluefin tuna, a move that has many fearing that the body may not be able to keep a close eye on high-value species.
WASHINGTON, March 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) has appealed to President Obama and the US government to support Kenya, the birthplace of Obama's father, which is leading efforts by 20 African nations to maintain elephant protection and oppose ivory trade at the CITES meeting in Doha.
DOHA, Qatar, March 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Ignoring the plight of polar bears, CITES Parties gathered in Doha at the 15th Conference of the Parties (CoP 15) of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) voted to hasten the polar bear's demise by failing to support an uplisting to Appendix I which would have banned all international commercial trade in the bears and their parts. "CITES parties have turned their backs on this iconic...
Urgent law enforcement action by governments in Central and West Africa and South-east Asia is crucial to addressing the illicit ivory trade, according to a new analysis of elephant trade data released today.
The black market trade of African ivory has been linked to Asian crime organizations and may affect the efforts made by Zambia and Tanzania to sell off their legally acquired tusks.
Porous borders are allowing vendors in Myanmar to offer a door-to-door delivery service for illegal wildlife products such as tiger bone wine to buyers in China, according to TRAFFIC's latest snapshot into wildlife trade in China.
A UN wildlife leader said on Monday that almost 4 decades of work to try to save tigers in the wild has "failed miserablyâ€, and warned that the large cat is on the brink of extinction.
A little-known Iranian salamander is poised to become the first example of a species requiring international government protection because of e-commerce – a major threat to endangered wildlife that authorities are struggling to address.

Our self-righteous country has a history of justifying conflicts that were based on lies.
A guide to disaster at home and abroad.
How two wars in the Greater Middle East revealed the weakness of the global superpower.
Don't be embarrassed that you answered that email from that "Nigerian princess"—over the past decade, the US government has been suckered into much bigger scams.
Eight disastrous years after we invaded, it is sad but altogether true that Iraq does not matter much in the end.
The Army's on-the-ground investigative team in Iraq has failed to hold torturers and abusers accountable for their crimes.
This memo, dated August 17, 2004, notes that "On 28 Jul 04, the Detainee Abuse Task Force, was formed by USACIDC to investigate all allegations of Iraqi Detainee abuse involving Coalition Forces."
In this letter, the Army's associate deputy general counsel writes that the CID "never created an official 'Detainee Abuse Task Force.'"
One of more than twenty CID documents from 2004 and 2005 obtained by the ACLU that reference the Detainee Abuse Task Force. This one, dated October 6, 2004, refers to five abuse cases involving Marine Corps units.
Former agents say Army accountability after Abu Ghraib was a whitewash.

Lafourche officials look to Larose for launch
Lafourche Parish officials have abandoned effort to put the Clovelly boat launch near Cut Off back into use.
Parish President Charlotte Randolph tells The Daily Comet (http://bit.ly/VmRT1a) that a site in Larose is under consideration and could serve the same need.
The Clovelly launch was closed to free public use last year and has been converted into a paid launch its owner, officials say.
Parish officials had hoped they could reach a deal with the landowners to keep the longtime launch free to the public.
The launch provides access to Little Lake. It was open for years through an agreement between the parish and the landowners. Under the agreement, the parish maintained a farm road on the land, and the landowners allowed access to the launch.
The launched closed last year after the landowners began adding requirements in the deal with the parish, Randolph said.
The land is owned by Little Lake Land Co. and General Agricultural Services, both based in Nebraska.
The parish hired an attorney last year to negotiate with the companies, but the talks failed to produce an agreement.
"The case is closed," Randolph said. "The landowners insisted on us providing an additional pump, and there was no public benefit for the pump."

19 Horses Die in Louisiana Barn Fire
A fire at a small training center close to Harrah's Louisiana Downs in Bossier City Aug. 1 has destroyed at least one barn and reportedly killed 19 horses.
The Shreveport Times reported 19 horses were killed in the blaze at the barn at River Point Stables, also known as Wraparound. The newspaper said the facility is owned by Alan Fox.
One adjacent barn which stables horses trained by Cecil Borel caught fire but the blaze was quickly extinguished, said trainer Dan White.
Travis Stone, track announcer at Louisiana Downs, said the facility is close to the racetrack backstretch, although the track was not threatened by the blaze. Heavy black smoke was visible to track patrons, he said.

What You Can Expect From GeForce GRID

What You Can Expect From GeForce GRID
A couple weeks ago, we unveiled NVIDIA GeForce GRID, our
cloud gaming platform
. Now that the dust has settled, we'd like to provide a bit more detail on what you'll be able to expect from it.
Let's start with what GeForce GRID is. It enables
video games
to be delivered to you just like video on demand. Just as video on demand makes it easier to enjoy movies, games on demand will make it easier to enjoy games. No more messing with discs, waiting for digital downloads or installing driver and patch updates. Just open a browser and play on any device. And if you have a new Smart TV with cloud gaming support, then all you have to do is plug in an Ethernet cable and USB gamepad to play'no console required.
GeForce GRID is comprised of
GeForce GPUs
, which gamers know and love. But they've been redesigned to fit into a server in the cloud. GeForce GRID GPUs have the same key gaming features as GeForce GPUs, but include additional technology that makes them perfectly suited for cloud gaming:
Advanced on-chip H.264 video encoder that's optimized for wide area networking (WAN) and supports remote displays
Ultra-fast frame buffer and render target capture APIs that reduce latency
Multi-GPU boards that are passively cooled, providing high-game density and efficient cooling in a data center
Combined, these technologies allow for the efficient, low-latency rendering of games in a remote data center to be streamed in standard H.264 format to any display device with a decoder ' including TVs, PCs,
and iOS devices. And since it is
NVIDIA GeForce
-based, thousands of
PC games
just work and can be streamed.
Cloud gaming today is typically done on a 5 Mbps connection at 720p30Hz, and the latency can be as good as 150 milliseconds on a GeForce GRID server. This is a very similar experience to what you get with today's game consoles over HDMI on a TV. However, with the NVIDIA GeForce GRID in the server room, you'll also get the latest graphical improvements, such as advanced lighting, anti-aliasing, physics and
Hardcore gamers will still want to use local GeForce boards, such at the
, because they can play at resolutions of 1080p-plus, and the latency of a local PC and monitor is only about 75 milliseconds.
GeForce GRID cloud gaming
is a good option for more casual gamers or for mainstream gamers who want to play
PC games
on a other devices, such as TVs and tablets.
To be clear, GeForce GRID isn't a gaming service. It's a platform product that we sell to gaming-as-a-service (GaaS) operators. While everyone is familiar with music streaming services from Pandora and Spotify, and movie-streaming services from Netflix and Vudu, game-streaming services are only beginning to surface.
, which is a pioneer in this area, has a free demothat you can try in your browser at
Today, NVIDIA supplies almost all GaaS startups withff GPUs, including Gaikai, Playcast, Ubitus, CiiNow and G-Cluster. In the months ahead, we expect many of them to introduce improved gaming services to the public based on GeForce GRID technology, either directly or perhaps through your cable or telephone company.
At NVIDIA, our mission is to help you enjoy video games more. We like the convenience and multiplatform capability of
cloud gaming
. We're investing in GeForce GRID so that GaaS operators can stream better games to you. We hope you like it as much as we do.

Auckland International Airport (AIAL) has started taking preliminary expressions of interest for a NZ$150 million ($129 million) public bond issue that could take place later this month.
"Full details of the bond issue will be released around 19 May, however we expect the bonds to have a seven year maturity and be unsecured and unsubordinated," says the airport's chief financial officer Simon Robertson.
The bonds are expected to be quoted on the NZX Debt Market, he adds. Proceeds from the issue will go towards general corporate funds, and also partly fund AIAL's NZ$454 million capital return programme.
AIAL has appointed ANZ Bank as lead manager for the issue, while Deutsche Carigs and Forsyth Barr have been appointed as co-managers.
In April, AIAL conducted a NZ$150 million floating rate bond issue to New Zealand wholesale investors, at which time it indicated that it may consider a public offer to assist with funding the capital return programme.

Louis Aragon
Louis Aragon (lwē ärägôN´), 1897–1982, French writer. One of the founders of surrealism in literature, Aragon abandoned that philosophy for Marxism after a trip to the USSR in 1931. He was a leader of the Resistance during World War II, and he edited the radical Paris daily Ce Soir and later the Communist weekly Les Lettres françaises. Aragon's early works include the volume of poems Feu de joie (1920) and the surrealistic novel Le Paysan de Paris (1926, tr. Nightwalker, 1970). His cycle of social novels concerning political responsibility are translated as The Bells of Basel (1934, tr. 1941), Residential Quarter (1936, tr. 1938), The Century Was Young (1941, tr. 1941), and Aurelien (1945, tr. 1947). Les Communistes, the first of his five-volume cycle of realistic novels, appeared in 1949. His later works include a novel about the artist Jean Louis Géricault, Holy Week (1958, tr. 1961); a history of the USSR from 1917 to 1960, Histoire parallèle (1962, tr. 1964); the novel La Mise à mort (1965); and a two-volume memoir of Matisse (1972). His major works of poetry include Le Crève-coeur (1941), war poems; the series of love poems to his wife, the novelist Triolet: Les Yeux d'Elsa (1954), Elsa (1959), and Le Fou d'Elsa (1963); and Les Chambres (1969).

SHAFT and FANTASIA 2000
For about a month now, when friends have asked me what new movies they should see, I've come dangerously close to drawing a blank. I'd mention Gladiator (which, naturally, most of them had already seen) and Small Time Crooks (which, sadly, most were uninterested in). Then I'd generally guide them in a different direction altogether, like Paul Thomas Anderson's magnificent Magnolia, which recently returned to Moline's discount cineplex. Or video and DVD, with the recent release of two extraordinary documentaries: Chris Smith's hilarious and touching American Movie, probably the best film of 1999 that wasn't seen locally, and Errol Morris' disturbing but brilliant Mr. Death: The Rise & Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr.

From Up On Poppy Hill - Sayonara no Natsu (Summer of Goodbye)
Paris: " Trees shaking in a promenade cast a goodbye shadow. Can the weathercock of an old chapel see the town of summer color?"
"The yesterday love , it's tears, it dries before and disappears. The tomorrow love, it's a refrain. Words without an end. "
Hello maddies, a new winter post for you. This is Paris, who returned yesterday, luckily! Hoeray! And I'm wearing this amazing blouse of LavishAlice! Isn't it amazingly beautiful! The cut out shoulders are really lovely and makes it so perfect. You can fine more lovely items on their site, I really think they have the most amazing clothes! Definitively worth a visit I styled it with a black skirt of Romwe with crosses on it. The shoes are simple since heels are rather impossible to wear now, so these shoes from Maxstarstore were perfect! For make up I wear the red lipstick of Dior, and a simple eyeliner. The winter landscapes remains here in Belgium and make everything more magical, don't you think?
