Zega Vs. Moto-Sport Aluminum cases
Almost posted in Equipment section, but my questions are more Thumper (and 640 Adv) specific.
I'm gonna get some hard cases, 'cause I need 'em for some upcoming trips.
I've narrowed it down to two brands, and three possibilities:
1. Two 35L Zega cases (KTM Hardparts version) & brackets
2. Two "Baja" 26L Moto-Sport cases & brackets
3. Two "Bavarian" 37L Moto-Sport cases & brackets.
My desire is to have decent volume with minimal width. Both manufacturers appear to make beautiful cases, and the prices are fairly comparable with a slight value nod going to Moto-Sport. I like the streamlined look of the Baja cases, but fear they might be a tad small for practicality. If anyone has experience with any of these three choices for a KTM 640 Adventure, I'd sure lik eto hear about what you like and dislike.
Also, I would love to know the exact width (measured while mounted on the bike) of these three systems. I can't find any info anywhere about this. It's hard to judge from the pics on various sites about the bracket's widths.
I wonder if the Moto-Sport Bavarians might actually be slimmer than the Zegas when mounted, since I have read about people complaining that the Zega mounting system is wider than it needs to be on the exhaust side of the bike.
Thanks in advance for any help and info!
No experience, just a quick check of the Munn price of $788 for the KTM stuff vs the Moto-Sport Baja cases & brackets for $885.
The Zegas are bigger but unlined, the Bajas... just the opposite.
Streamlined appearance doesn't mean much to me... I'd do the KTM bags and do my own liners, or the 37L H&Bs Andrew sells for $869.
Decisions, decisions... :huh
btw.... i love my ktm zegas :clap
If you end up going for the Zega's, I would order two of the 35l's, rather then get the 35/41l combo. The 41 is only 1.5 inches wider, but it seems like a lot more then that.
Thanks for the pricing info from Munn's! I didn't check there, I just looked at the TT site for a ballpark figure, and it seemed like the Zegas cost more.
Thanks for checking into that for me when you have a moment... :thumb
Beautiful picture! The bike and the cases look sweet.
I agree. I saw someone up at the LC4 Tech Daze had that setup with the 41L on the right side, and it looked way too wide for my taste. Definitely going to get two 35L if I go this route... which it looks like I'm leaning towards with the new pricing info.
I'm on the same quest but I have the TT (Zega) bracket already. The Moto-Sports are nice with insert an all but $$ and I'd F around fitting the TT mounts etc. Looked at the pelican option price is great but really prefer top loading. Found these http://www.klr650.com/alTourBox.htm which are cheap <$300/ pair including shipping :deal but don't know anything about them (quality, finish etc). At the end of the day the Zega's will be my the best function/quality fit for me. Local dealer does a pair for $598, Munns $542 plus shipping (guessing that works out to be about the same price). I'm still looking for cheaper options but time is running out on me. Need them for Baja trip in 3 weeks (YeeHaaa) so I'll have to "pony up" the cash soon. Anyone out there want to sell me a pair of Zegas? Cheap! :wink:
I personally like the narrow profile of the Bajas. I don't have any first-hand experience to offer, but I do have this nice pic of the bike I almost bought a couple weeks ago:
You didnt mention these but since I wanst sure if you looked at them...
They come in three sizes and three widths for each size
They go as narrow as 7.5inches (probably what I will get)
An optional "canyon cut" is also available, which I think is good if you are planning on falling down
Priced at 660
50 more for the canyon cut and 90 for your choice of powdercoat
But at the end of the day it works out like this for me
Pair Teton 9x15x18 $382 (inc ship)
Zega Mounting system $130 (inc ship)
I'll have to measure and drill 36 holes (in the right places:confused ) for the mounting system. I help a mate fit his new Zegas on his GSA. I was very impressed (and intimidated) by how accurately the mounting system fitted in the mounting bracket. I was tight enough that you had to push to pop it in and very firm once in. That seams like a really good thing on the back of a D/S Bike. A mm (.04" for the internationally challenged:lol3) eitherway and it would not be as good.
I get the Zega's at an additional $86 ($598) and the mounting is all done and has a guarantee.
That's how it works in my deranged world :rofl
Thanks for mentining that option. I had seen those along the line, but was resisting because most people seemed to go with the Zegas. After reading Rob's most recent post, I have to say I think I am 99% sold on the Zegas.
One last question: Are the Zegas powder coated on the interior, or otherwise coated?
Thank you to all who have answered and given opinions, insights and info. :thumb
You guys (and this place) kick ass.
How are ya? :wave
Thanks for your valuable insights. I appreciate your taking the time to relate your experience and first hand observations.
Oh, and I hate you for being able to go to Baja in a few weeks! I wish I could do a trip like that, but my schedule, which is actually free right now, gets jammed starting March 7th. Ah well... that's fate I guess. Maybe next time... Have a great time ya bastadge!
BTW... do ya ever check yer PM's? :wink:
HT sells racks for the bags and they will mount them in a nuetral position fer ya. so it would be aboot 700 for a setup like the Zegas
but....if the Zegas are under 8 that seems like a pretty decent deal if you prefer TT over HT

A country pop singer and songwriter
Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer-songwriter and actress. Clarkson made her debut under RCA Records after she won the first season of the television series American Idol in 2002.
Clarkson has released four albums to date: her double-platinum debut album Thankful (2003), her multi-platinum second album Breakaway (2004) (which has won two Grammy Awards), My December (2007), and her latest album All I Ever Wanted (2009). Her albums have sold over 10.5 million copies in the United States. Clarkson is currently the only American Idol contestant to have reached number one in the UK. She claimed number one on March 1, 2009, when "My Life Would Suck Without You" debuted number one on downloads alone.She has sold over 10.2 million albums in the United States, and over 20 million albums worldwide, becoming the highest-selling Idol winner. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Clarkson is also ranked on the top 200 album sellers of the Nielsen SoundScan era at number 187.
Eleven of Clarkson's singles became Top Twenty hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Her single, "My Life Would Suck Without You", advanced from No. 97 to No. 1 on the Hot 100 in its first week of release, breaking the record for the largest leap to the top position in chart history.
Clarkson has toured extensively worldwide as a solo act. After Clarkson's appearance on the CMT Crossroads and her duet version of "Because of You" (2007) with Reba McEntire, they co-headlined the 2 Worlds 2 Voices Tour (2008).
Clarkson held the distinction of having the highest-selling American Idol album in the United States until November 2009, when Carrie Underwood claimed that title by a narrow margin of 100,000 albums. Clarkson, however, remains the highest-selling American Idol alum overall, with around 23 million albums sold worldwide.
In May 2010, Billboard named Clarkson the "most successful 'American Idol' of all time", factoring in album sales, singles sales, and radio plays.

Eco-prodigy sues UConn for age discrimination
13-year-old whiz claims age discrimination by university for conservation-based, study-abroad program.
Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 02:00 PM
Colin Carlson is not your average 13 year old. Unlike most kids his age who are fumbling their way through the basic principles of science and the environment, Colin is halfway through his sophomore year of college at the University of Connecticut, seeking a bachelor's degree in ecology and evolutionary biology and another in environmental studies. Even though it seems like Colin is blazing his way through his studies, he and his mom are up in arms over a recent decision by the university to reject Colin's bid to study abroad, putting a kink in his plans to graduate with double degrees in four years.
According to Colin's mom, Jessica Offir, Colin was 2 or 3 when he began reading on his own, and was up to Harry Potter by the time he was 4. Colin skipped two grades in public school and began taking psychology, history and other courses at UConn when he was 9. He graduated from Stanford University Online High School at age 11, and soon after enrolled full time at UConn.
But his four-year plan for college has been knocked off course by UConn's rejection of his request to take a class that includes summer field work in South Africa. The university would not let Colin enroll, even after his mother offered to release UConn from liability and accompany her son as a chaperone at her own expense, she and Colin said.
To be eligible to study abroad, students may not be on university probation or academic probation and must have earned a grade point average of at least a "C." Colin, an honor student with a near-perfect 3.9 GPA, easily meets these requirements. But, ultimately, the study-abroad office and the faculty member leading the trip decide who may go, and in this case they have decided against Colin.
This wouldn't be the teen's first international trip. Colin has gone sea kayaking off Nova Scotia and Ecuador, hiked in numerous national parks and has traveled across the U.S. by car with his mother. In a recent interview with The Huffington Post, Colin said, "It's important to have a very wide world view," he said. "Biology is fundamentally about the diversity of life, with a focus across the planet."
Hopefully, this eco-whizkid will be able to get past this unpleasant kink in his plans quickly so that he can get back on track. His plans include a Ph.D. in ecology and evolutionary biology and a degree in environmental law for a career in conservation science. He intends to earn those two degrees by age 22.
I think we'll be hearing big things from Colin Carlson soon ... and I'm so glad that he'll be working towards a greener future for all of us!

The Key Concepts
Not available
moreGlobalization is the buzzword of the 21st century. If we live in a globalized world, what does this mean for our economies, our cultures, our work and leisure, even our sense of ourselves? Globalization: The Key Concepts presents an accessible and provocative guide to the way we live now. The causes and the effects of globalization are hotly disputed and the book aims to present the range of arguments in a clear and balanced way. However, arguing that variation is as characteristic of globalization as standardization, the book stresses the necessity for a bottom-up, comparative analysis. Distinguishing between the cultural, political, economic and ecological aspects of globalization, the book highlights the implications of globalization for people's everyday lives. Throughout, the discussion is illustrated with wide-ranging case material. Chapter summaries and a guide to further reading underline the book's concern to clarify this most complex and influential of ideas. less

It's important to know right from the start that Kirsten Powers is a cradle liberal who has never once voted for a Republican.
She was a Clinton-Gore operative in 1992, a Clinton administration appointee, press secretary for Andrew Cuomo's first New York governor race and held other partisan posts. She then shifted into opinion journalism, currently as a USA Today columnist and token liberal commentator on Fox News.
Powers's credentials as a card-carrying political liberal have helped create buzz about her iconoclastic new "The Silencing: How the Left Is Killing Free Speech" (Regnery). It's proclaimed "an important book" by no less than Ron Fournier, National Journal's editorial director and former Washington bureau chief of The AP. More predictable praise comes from conservatives like Pulitzer Prize winners Charles Krauthammer and George Will, her fellow Fox pundits.
What possessed Powers to issue a broadside against what she calls "the illiberal left"? Mainly two things.

Disgruntled Congress leader Vijay Singh Mankotia today vowed to continue his support to Congress here.
Mankotia, who is also chairman of the ex-servicemen league, expressed to continue his support after Chief Minister Vir Bhadra Singh, his son Vikramaditya and Congress candidate from Kangra Chander Kumar met him recently.
"I was sidelined by the State government after the Vidhan Sabha poll 2012, where I helped to manage to revert back 7.8 per cent votes polled for BSP in 2007 (responsible to throw Congress out of power in state).
"I was backbitten by a loyalist of Vir Bhadra Singh, to ensure my defeat, and the same man was given high ranked political posts, and I was kept at a bay," said Mankotia.
Kewal Singh Pathania, (who was the Congress candidate in 2007, got only 14.09 per cent of polled votes to lose the deposit), is now the Chairman of Forest Corporation and considered to be as one of the few loyalists of Vir Bhadra Singh, Mankotia told reporters here.
He said besides Congress, AAP candidate for Kangra Rajan Sushant and BJP candidate Shanta Kumar had also visited his house to get his support.
Mankotia headed the BSP campaign in 2007 in Himachal after he was expelled from Congress over the release of controversial CD against Vir Bhadra Singh. Singh had again taken Mankotia back to Congress in 2012 and given him Congress ticket from Shahpur, where he (Mankotia) lost to BJP.

WASHINGTON — Non-Hispanic whites are still by far the largest racial group in the United States, with a population of 197.8 million. (All other racial and ethnic groups make up 37 percent of the population, or 118.3 million.) But Asians, not Hispanics, were the fastest-growing group in 2013.
The country's Asian population rose by almost 2.9 percent to 19.4 million, an increase of about 554,000. That increase was fueled by immigration, which accounted for 61 percent of the population increase.

Legal requirements
One corporate action to pursue corporate restructuring is the merger & acquisition (takeover) of two or more companies with the aim of improving the company's performance and competitiveness in the national market and abroad.
There are two forms of consolidating public limited companies – an acquisition (takeover) is the purchase of a smaller company (combination of "unequals") by another in which no new company is formed; a merger is a combination of two companies (combination of "equals") to form a new company – both regulated by the Companies Act.
The Companies Act also covers the cross-border mergers of companies with share capital taking into consideration the provisions of the EU Directive on cross-border mergers of companies with share capital .
Types of Consolidation of Companies
In accordance with the Companies Act, two or more public limited companies may be consolidated by takeover (acquisition ) or by merger.
A Takeover (Acquisition)
The larger company (acquiring company) initiates the takeover which is executed by the transfer of all shares of one or more smaller companies (acquired company) to the larger company (acquiring company).
A Merger
A merger involves the mutual decision of two (or more) companies to combine and become one entity, and for this purpose they form a new public limited company; the merger is executed when the total amount of shares of the companies involved is transferred to this new public limited company.
There are two merger & acquisition types: Horizontal and Vertical. A horizontal merger is a merger between two companies of the same branch of industry (which may negatively affect the competitive situation). The expected advantages are to cut costs and increase profits, owing to an increase in the degree of concentration in an industry. A vertical merger & acquisition occurs when a supplier (acquiring company) buys a reseller (acquired company), or vice-versa. The key point is that the two companies are part of the same supply chain.
As a takeover (acquisition) does not necessarily have to be a mutual decision, a larger company can initiate a hostile takeover of a smaller company (target company), if it decides to buy this company in the face of resistance from the smaller company's management. An acquisition is a friendly takeover if the target company's shareholders have approved the decision to be acquired.
Conditions of mergers & acquisitions (takeovers)
The procedure of the acquisition of companies in Slovenia is regulated by the Takeover Act.
An acquiring company must obtain prior consent issued by The Stock Market Agency and a permit issued by the Competition Protection Office. It should submit:
- an application for prior consent;
- a 'tender offer' for buying a controlling share of the target-company's stock from its shareholders;
- a prospectus for buying the target company's stock;
- an application for the conclusion of a Contract for Services with the Securities Clearing Corporation, including services relating to the receipt of the 'tender offer' and activities relating to changes in the share capital of the acquired and the acquiring company;
- a report on securities in connection with the 'tender offer', which have been obtained by an offerror in the last 6 months;
- an application filed with Competition Protection Office for the issuance of a permit as notification of concentration;
- an opinion on the acquisition issued by the management of the target company.
- Stock Market Agency
- Central Securities Clearing Corporation ("KDD")
- Competition Protection Office
Buying an existing company, with an already established structure, can be a good way of expanding your business.
Administrative procedures
Prior to merger & acquisition (takeover) the authorised auditing company will perform a valuation of assets, to specify the conversion rate.
The management of the consolidated companies will conclude an Acquiring Agreement in the form of a notarial deed, and this Agreement will be audited for each company.
The Agreement between the Competition Protection Office and the shareholders of companies, stating that the acquisition is not a prohibited takeover, is included in the Acquiring Agreement.
The merged companies must notify the Competition Protection Office of a merger (acquisition), if the total annual turnover of the companies involved during the previous financial year in the Slovenian market, exceeds 35 million EUR, providing that at least two of the companies involved from the group exceed 1 million EUR.
However, the Competition Protection Office may call upon the involved companies to notify their merger (acquisition), even if they did not exceed the stated thresholds, if together with other companies from the group they obtain more than 60 % of the market share in Slovenia.
A proposal for the entry of a takeover in the Court Register, which must include an increase in equity of the acquiring company, should be submitted at the location where the acquiring company has its registered office.
The e-VEM Web Portal offers very useful information and the certain forms relating to corporate restructuring.
- Decree on the Entry of Companies and other Legal Entities in the Court Register
- Informative and useful data for taxation and carrying out a corporate restructuring
- eVEM
On the e-administration (e-uprava) Portal and the Court Register website you will find useful information on submitting the basic data of legal entities having changed after the merger (acquisition).
The Company Law Division of the Ministry of the Economy, offers basic information about corporate restructuring.
- Company Law Devision
- Ministry of the Economy
The Competition Protection Office offers general information on legal limits relating to the merger & acquisition (takeover) of companies.
Information on the annual business results of the companies involved in mergers (acquisitions) is available at The Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for public and legal records and services (AJPES).
Information on the tax liabilities of the companies involved in a merger (acquisition) is available from the Tax Administration of the Republic of Slovenia.
The Public Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Entrepreneurship and Foreign Investments (JAPTI) also offers useful, general information on corporate restructuring.

About the PharMetrics Analysis
This retrospective analysis examined medical and pharmacy claims from the PharMetrics Patient Centric database to determine healthcare resource utilization among patients with UC before and after a colectomy. The PharMetrics database contains enrollment data, pharmacy and medial claims from approximately 82 different managed care organizations, consisting of more than 46 million patients in the United States. It is considered representative of the insured population of the United States. Patient data was collected from January 1, 2000 through June 30, 2005, for any patient with a previous diagnosis of UC who had two distinct claims for treatment of UC and had a Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code indicating colectomy.
A total of 411 patients were included in the analysis, and researchers collected data for each patient both 12 months prior to the colectomy and 12 months following colectomy. The researchers focused on the levels of inpatient, outpatient, emergency room, physician, laboratory and drug costs of care and found that healthcare utilization increased during the 12 months following colectomy. The increases were primarily driven by inpatient and outpatient visits.
The data showed that inpatient encounters increased during the 12 months after colectomy, compared with the number of encounters during the 12 months before colectomy (1.8 vs. 0.9). There were also increases in outpatient visits (19.4 vs. 8.7), emergency room visits (0.9 vs. 0.8), physician visits (14.9 vs. 13.9) and laboratory visits (2.2 vs. 2.1) during the post-colectomy period, compared with the pre-colectomy period.

BOISE -- The former boyfriend of an Idaho teen who murdered her parents has been arrested after law enforcement officials say he sold a half-pound of methamphetamine to an undercover detective.
Bruno Antonio Santos-Dominguez, the former boyfriend of Sarah Johnson, is in Blaine County Jail in Hailey following his arrest last week.
Santos, who is 25, was once a suspect in the 2003 slayings of Alan and Diane Johnson.
Sarah Johnson, just 16 at the time, was subsequently convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and is serving two life prison sentences without parole.
Santos was arrested along with Jose Guadalupe Benitez-Diaz, a 27-year-old who was also charged Monday in 5th District Court with trafficking.
The Idaho Mountain Express reports both men may be in the United States illegally.

no idea what to call this
"Furthermore, [Joyce and Cowman, 2007] found that most post-registration students' primary motivation for pursuing CPD was eminently practical: preparation for job promotions and the ability to take on increased clinical responsibilities were cited by the overwhelming majority."
I know "most post-registration students' primary motivation" is awkward, but is it grammatically correct? Or is this not even a grammar issue?

2006 BEST Jewelry, North
Royal Jewelers
Royal says it carries more designers than any other jewelry store in New England, and we see no reason to challenge that claim. The Andover shop is, in a word, ginormous, with dazzlers from Chopard, Doris Panos, and Penny Preville, as well as watches from Charriol and IWC. But it's Royal's service that really shines—the staff doesn't work on commission, and each customer is treated with patience and respect, regardless of the dough he or she winds up dropping.

CHESTERTOWN - Hundreds of people from across the northeastern U.S. are now readying to participate in the annual Halloween Pug Parade & Party set for this weekend in the Town of Chester.
In recent years, pugs - those wrinkly-browed, chubby, fun-loving dogs with curly tails - have become a popular October attraction in Chester.
This year's edition of the festival represents a milestone, as it is the 10th anniversary of the event. What began in 2000 as a small one-day gathering of 21 pugs in fanciful costumes, has now grown into a weekend event, attracting more than 200 pugs and their owners not only from the region, but from across New York and neighboring states as well.
The pugs and their owners annually come from Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New Jersey to attend, said Kim Olden, who founded the event. Some pug owners have hailed from as far away as Florida and Montreal, she said.
"We never thought that it would grow so fast," she said.
The owner of two pugs, Olden said she can identify with how much fun the owners have creating costumes and then dressing their dogs in zany attire for the parade.
"We have even had families all dressed in the same theme," Olden said. "One year we had Santa and his elves, and the next year they came as a whole family of blue-faced smurfs - The creativity seems endless."
The event apparently goes beyond momentary fun and winning prizes, Olden said.
The owners establish a real camaraderie with each other and annually make new friends, she said. Some attendees even plan for months in advance, often e-mailing each other, she said.
"This event brings pug owners together in a way that allows them to share their spirit," she said.
Since the festivities grew so dramatically, beginning in 2008 the sponsoring organization, the North Warren Chamber of Commerce hired an event planner - Pam Morin - to help organize it. Morin has been publicizing it as well as matching pug owners with animal-friendly lodging.

The other thread is getting long so I'll just start a new one for this.
Volquez, Cueto close in
Baker all but says youngsters will be starters
SARASOTA, Fla. - Reds manager Dusty Baker came as close as he could to saying Edinson Volquez and Johnny Cueto will be in the starting rotation.
Baker was asked after Volquez's outing Sunday if Volquez and Cueto were separating themselves from the rest of the rotation competition.
"You want me to say it, or are you going to say it?" Baker said. "They're pitching like they belong alongside (Aaron) Harang and (Bronson) Arroyo in the rotation. They're dealing.
"They came in ready to pitch. They played Winter Ball, so they're ahead - not so much with velocity but with command. That's what you need. They're pounding the strike zone. If you walk people, you have no chance. If you get behind people, you have a little chance."
The young Dominican right-handers - Cueto is 22, Volquez is 25 - have been the talk of Reds camp this spring. They throw hard with good off-speed stuff. But what's been most impressive is the way they've fearlessly attacked tough competition.
That's what Volquez did Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies' "A" lineup. He pitched five shutout innings, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out six in the Reds' 6-2 loss.
"Their guys were saying how hard it was to pick up his pitches," Baker said.
Volquez needed only 69 pitches to get through five innings, largely because he threw 47 strikes.
Volquez lowered his spring ERA to 3.46.
Most impressive: Volquez's 19 strikeouts and three walks in 13 innings.
Cueto has a 1.00 ERA in nine innings this spring. He's given up six hits and one walk and struck out eight.
The Reds' Opening Day rotation is looking like it will be Harang, Arroyo, Cueto, Volquez and veteran Josh Fogg. Fogg has out-pitched everyone else competing for a rotation spot - Homer Bailey, Matt Belisle and Jeremy Affeldt - and he's won 10 games five of the past six years.
Sunday was Volquez's first start. He began by striking out reigning National League Most Valuable Player Jimmy Rollins with a drop-off-the-table changeup on a 3-2 count.
"My changeup was my best pitch today," Volquez said. "I threw four sliders, four curves or something like that. I found out in the bullpen that the changeup was better today, so I better use it."
Volquez retired 11 of the first 12 batters he faced - five by strikeout. His changeup was fooling guys big time, especially when they were expecting his fastball, which topped out at 96 mph.
Volquez, obtained in the Josh Hamilton trade, says the difference from the past is control - of his pitches and of himself.
"I'm throwing more strikes," he said. "That's what I'm going for. I control my emotions, too. I'm getting old, man."
He was not intimidated by the Phillies' lineup.
"When those guys go to home plate, I think, 'This is a big guy,' " he said. "I pitch like normal. But facing Ryan Howard, oh man. He's a big guy."
After going to the three-ball count on Rollins, Volquez didn't go to a three-ball count again until facing Howard with two outs in the fourth. Howard ended up singling.
"He was looking for a changeup," Volquez said. "That's what good hitters do."
Jayson Werth followed with a single, but Volquez struck out Geoff Jenkins for his sixth strikeout, leaving the runners stranded.
Volquez was at his best in the fifth. He got a routine groundball on the first pitch, but Brandon Phillips booted it. Volquez walked the next hitter. But he got out of it. Brett Myers popped up trying to bunt, Rollins hit into a fielder's choice and Shane Victorino grounded out.
Cueto will face a a similar test today when the Detroit Tigers come to Ed Smith Stadium.
The smart money says Cueto will go right after the Tigers.
"That's the way he and Volquez pitch," Reds Dominican coordinator Mario Soto said. "They have good stuff. They throw strikes. They go after you."

DALLAS In its five-year history serving West Dallas, New Beginning Covenant Ministry had never before staged an outdoor service. The Rev. Vincent Young was optimistic, that turnout would be about 80 people.
'This is fresh... a fresh, anointing coming... yeah, this is fresh,' he said with a giggle.
Young says it's important that members continue to worship, even if the location is out of the ordinary.
'We're going to keep praising God, no matter what!' he declared.
On Thursday, strong storms collapsed an exterior wall and part of the ceiling of his church in the 3300 block of Canada Drive. But thanks to the generous donation of a trailer bed and sound system, services continued as scheduled, outside.

Young's congregants said the humidity and windy conditions Sunday morning didn't bother them one bit.
'It's not too windy,' church member Jasmine Young said.
Zakiyaa Foreman added that she liked being in the fresh air. 'Sometimes it be cold in the church... sometimes it be cool... sometimes it be hot,' she said.
Mark Smith and his wife drove more than an hour to donate the stage and sound system. They learned of the church's misfortune on TV and decided to forgo their own Mother's Day plans to make sure strangers would enjoy theirs.
'That's what it's all about... it's about helping your brother, about being there whenever people need you,' Smith said.

With just four days to go for the budget, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has already warned that the government might have to take some tough calls to ensure a healthier economy. And many expect this to mean a better management of the government finances by reducing fiscal deficit to bring back a certain notion of economic growth back on track.
In Indian debates on subsidies there is a over powering focus on food, fuel and fertiliser subsidies that are seen as free for all packages that must be cut down for the economy to grow. While subsidised kerosene is opposed by many, other government subsidies like tax waivers on corporates, gold, jewellery, etc., are hardly spoken about. It is less an ideological issue, as much as an economic and political issue (though the three are almost always inseparable).
First, we need to understand how the fuel scene in India works. India produces only a small portion of its crude oil (by companies like the ONGC, IOC etc) needs, and must import from other countries at international market prices. It must then refine the crude oil to form products like petrol, diesel, aviation fuel, kerosene, and LPG. Petrol prices are already deregulated to the extent that the refineries can fix the price for themselves. Diesel has also been freed so that its price goes up 50 paise per month till it reaches market parity price.
The major concern remains with LPG and kerosene, which are still untouched. The oil marketing companies (OMCs) sell the LPG and kerosene at low prices to the public and the rest of the money is compensated by the government. Now that the government treasury is also not quite strong, the OMCs and refineries have been seeing very delayed payments and their own health is being questioned. The Kirit Parekh expert panel recently recommended that the government must "immediately" hike prices of diesel by Rs 5 a litre, kerosene by Rs 4 per litre and cooking gas by Rs 250 per cylinder. It also asked the government to bring down the annual entitlement of nine subsidised LPG cylinders to six; and do away with diesel subsidy completely in one year.
So why can't the government just cut the subsidies and move on? The biggest concern could be political: a vote bank that the new government cannot take for granted. But the issues go deeper. Diesel is used in various other purposes like transport, agriculture etc. With the inflation already above 6% and a food price inflation that refuses to come down, India must tread softly on its deregulation policy paths. When diesel price goes up, any producer who uses it as a raw material will pass on the hike by raising price of his services. So the cost of food, transport (bus, auto fares) etc., are likely to go up even more.
Iraq is the second largest exporter of oil to India. With the political scene in Iraq being vulnerable, the international oil prices will also remain volatile in the near term, which means the government will find it more difficult to pass the cost to the customer completely. In India, the monsoons have not been supportive of the new government and food shortage is a situation the government cannot rule out. So complete deregulation of diesel seems out of question now.
Talking of LPG, it might be a right area to bring some deregulation and cutting of subsidies. On various recent occasions, Amartya Sen has argued that the poorest in India do not have gas stoves to use cylinders with, and the this subsidy is majorly for the middle class and not the poorest of the country. LPG is a final product in itself and is hardly used in a more refined form, which means the cascading effect on inflation due to rising LPG prices will be lower than, say, diesel. The government is also asking those who can afford higher prices to give up on LPG subsidy so that it can provide more of it to the poor. However, given the difference between a subsidised cylinder and an unsubsidied one – almost Rs 450-500 – this is unlikely to have huge support from the middle class.
Kerosene, on the other hand, is a fuel that is genuinely used by the poor who have few options for domestic and cooking fuel. Kotkasim in Rajasthan ran a pilot scheme of direct cash transfer for kerosene subsidies. The entitlement is three litres for all card holders except those who use gas cylinder. Single gas cylinder holders are entitled for two litres and those who have double gas connection do not get any kerosene. The government transfers money for three months' of kerosene supply initially to one's bank account, and one has to use the money to buy kerosene from ration shops. A case study carried out on the pilot has revealed a drastic fall in the consumption of kerosene for mandatory bank accounts, the reluctance of banks to do so, delayed transfer from government to banks etc. So this scheme will be difficult to be scaled up to the national level unless the loopholes are fixed. Cutting kerosene subsidies absurdly might hurt the poorest in India.
Most investment and brokerage firms understandably want as much freeing of the markets and lowering of government subsidies as possible, and therefore, government control over crucial sectors in the economy. Barclays, in its budget expectation report, writes, "As subsidies on diesel have been almost phased out, the focus will shift to reducing subsidies for LPG/kerosene, which accounted for 55% of total under-recoveries of the oil companies in FY13-14. While the government has ruled out immediate price hikes, we think it may choose to adopt a similar gradual mechanism to raise LPG/kerosene prices. However, it is far from certain what action it will take in this area in the short term."
However, the rationalisation of subsidies is essential not just for the fiscal deficit issues, but also for more spending on pressing issues like healthcare and education. India has one of the lowest spending on healthcare compared to its GDP in the world, and with very low human development indicators it will need to build both physical and social infrastructure in a better way. For that it needs to reduce subsidising the middle class and the rich, and focus on those who need it the most. Now that is a political call the Modi Sarkar have to take.

The New York Post Reveals Why Stephanie McMahon Has Been Selling Her WWE Stocks
by Staff - October 10, 2013
– We've noted over the past few months how Stephanie McMahon has been cashing in her WWE stocks. The New York Post reports that Stephanie has cashed in $8.3 million in company stock because, according to a statement WWE gave to the paper, is "selling a portion of her class B shares for personal financial purposes that include building a house."
The story also notes that Stephanie cashed in about 1/3 of her WWE B (super-voting) stock to finance the home. The sales were carried out over 43 separate transactions, the last on October 7th.
The Post noted that Stephanie owns properties in Westport, CT and Manhattan.

Knicks-Hornets Tickets Triple in Price to $557 With Lin Starting
Feb. 17 (Bloomberg) -- The average ticket price to watch the New York Knicks attempt to win their eighth straight game tonight is $557 on the secondary market, tripling in price since Jeremy Lin first joined the starting lineup less than two weeks ago, according to TiqIQ.
Tickets to the game at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan against the New Orleans Hornets, with a 5-23 record, were averaging $181 on Feb. 7, the day after Lin's first start, according to TiqIQ, an aggregator of the online resale market.
The average ticket price for the Knicks' next game, against the defending-champion Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 19, is $769 on the secondary market, according to TiqIQ.
Lin, a 23-year-old Harvard University graduate who is the first Taiwanese- or Chinese-American to play in the National Basketball Association, was a little-used reserve who had been cut by two teams before getting 25 points and seven assists in a win over the New Jersey Nets on Feb. 4. He's averaged 24.4 points and 9.1 assists during the streak, making him an immediate team leader and an international sensation.
The average Knicks' home ticket price for the entire season is now $282, which is 23 percent higher than the $230 average price on Feb. 3, according to TiqIQ. The price of the Hornets ticket has increased by 207 percent.
If New York (15-15) beats the Hornets, it will be tied for the 11th-longest win streak in franchise history.
Victories over the Hornets and the Mavericks (19-11) would give New York a nine-game winning streak, tied for the seventh-longest in team history and the most since a 15-game run that began on March 1, 1994. That season ended with a seven-game loss to the Houston Rockets in the NBA Finals.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
The Poetics of Eros in Ancient Greece offers the first comprehensive inquiry into the deity of sexual love, a power that permeated daily Greek life. Avoiding Foucault's philosophical paradigm of dominance/submission, Claude Calame uses an anthropological and linguistic approach to re-create indigenous categories of erotic love. He maintains that Eros, the joyful companion of Aphrodite, was a divine figure around which poets constructed a physiology of desire that functioned in specific ways within a network of social relations. Calame begins by showing how poetry and iconography gave a rich variety of expression to the concept of Eros, then delivers a history of the deity's roles within social and political institutions, and concludes with a discussion of an Eros-centered metaphysics.
Calame's treatment of archaic and classical Greek institutions reveals Eros at work in initiation rites and celebrations, educational practices, the Dionysiac theater of tragedy and comedy, and in real and imagined spatial settings. For men, Eros functioned particularly in the symposium and the gymnasium, places where men and boys interacted and where future citizens were educated. The household was the setting where girls, brides, and adult wives learned their erotic roles--as such it provides the context for understanding female rites of passage and the problematics of sexuality in conjugal relations. Through analyses of both Greek language and practices, Calame offers a fresh, subtle reading of relations between individuals as well as a quick-paced and fascinating overview of Eros in Greek society at large.

If Mayors Ruled The World
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
Benjamin Barber, senior research scholar at the Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society at the CUNY Graduate Center, talks about how cities are responding to global issues.
→Event: "If Mayors Ruled the World: On the role cities can play in global governance" Benjamin Barber in conversation with Frances Fox Piven this afternoon at 4 at the CUNY Graduate Center.

jgarbuz - yes - but the countryside would starve without the city... in terms of subsidy... and in terms of persons to sell their agricultural output... and increasingly tourism as well.
The issue of gun rights is a perfect example of cities versus the countryside. Yes, cities are the producers of wealth, but they would starve without the countryside.
I disagree that corruption is more profound at the national compare to the local level in Africa. I saw a LOT of corruption at the local levelin the northeast region of what was then Zaire. Extreme and open corruption. On the other hand, there were pockets where there were fabulous mayors that had a really positive impact. Having visited many small pueblos surrounding Cusco, Peru - I also saw that Mayors could either have a profoundly positive impact or, conversely a profoundly negative impact at the local level. It was a mixed bag there too. How deeply were the local level politics really evaluated?s
Why does the idea of the NYPD in Singapore make me queasy? Who pays for that expensive airfare? Something inherently undemocratic in a republic about a city (state) operating on its own.
Bloomberg will never run for president.
Because then he would have to work with other people and
just couldn't be the King
It's too bad that "Bermuda" Mike didn't read up on what John Lindsay learned about snow removal; didn't learn about how to prevent corrupt computer contracting from Ed Koch; and didn't appreciate how crippled the City became after the financial legerdemain of Abraham Beame.
Jim Crow laws ended because people stepped up...no the federal gvt. The feds stepped in when they saw it was the political thing to do.
Mayor Bloomberg probably put you up to this as his last term ends and he is looking for the Presidency.
This sure isn't the story in Piscataway, NJ. The middlesex county democratic party says jump & the Piscatawy government says, how high?
That's why I was so happy when I escaped to Lebanon Township. Now in Virginia, I also out from under the disgusting nonsense that goes on in the state government as well.
Cities are inherently more liberal than the countryside, that's why the Republicans are currently floating a plan to redistrict their votes away.
So maybe part of the reason mayors can get things done, is that the city population is naturally closer ideologically than other voting blocs.
This is nothing new. By definition, the rise of "civilization" meant the rise of cities in human history. The rise of towns and cities was made possible by agricultural surpluses. It meant the rise of temples and priestly systems, and kings and their courts, and hence the need for construction workers, and all the rest. Great cities came before the concept of states and empires.

Another sweet drawing. Makes me want to dig out my colored pencils and some paper and give it a go. I may have some old pencil sketches buried somewhere. If I can unearth them, maybe I'll post something.

And that house in the background is pretty cool, too!

Very nice! Did you photograph the car in the foreground? Was there a Mercedes sitting next to it? Looks like a Mercedes wheel/hubcap reflected in the Packard door
