The Space
Old and beautifully renovated cottage in pretty small harbour town. Fantastic countryside and coastal walks.
Cottage only a few minutes from bay and shops but set back with pleasant views of the fields etc.
Fire and Aga/Stanley, dishwasher, washer and dryer. Garage. Small garden and roof terrace.
Homely decoration and very comfortable.
Rates variable depending on time of year from £50 per night during off season to £75 during July and August.
The house is detached and is on a quiet road five minutes from Bantry town centre, where there are shops, pubs, restaurants, banks, a cinema and a very good outdoor market every Friday.
There is a regular bus service (Eireann 236) between Bantry, Cork and Glengarriff.
We wash sheets and towels and clean thoroughly between visitors but it helps if – as most people do – mess is kept to a minimum

We spent five nights in Roberts lovely cottage. It's really lovely, very much like a home and with funny details such as his collection of horror movies. When we arrived, Roberts friend Zora had left the key in a secure place so we could get into the house very late at night without anyone having to be there. That was very comfortable. There was an instruction sheet with information on everything, so we easily washed our clothes etc. We spent our days sleeping in the comfy beds (the location is definitely quiet), having extended breakfast (buy "Mum's bread" and scones at "Box of Frogs" café!), preparing incredible fish for lunch and walking or driving around the really beautiful landscape nearby (we recommend trekking on Sheeps Head and walking through Glengarriff Nature Reserve). Bantry itself is sleepy but nice - one night we had some drinks at "Ma Murphy's" pub, where we were almost invited to a wedding the next day. Altogether we really felt at home in your home, Robert - thanks a lot for sharing it with us!
We had an excellent time staying at Bluebell Cottage over Christmas. Robert's home is authentic, intimate, homey and exactly what we hoped for. We cooked frequently and the kitchen is well appointed. The cottage is a short walk down hill into the Bantry shopping/eatery/pub district. Robert met us upon arrival and provided complete instructions on the house. Just an extremely positive experience.

Hans-Peter Brøndmo | March 10, 2003 | Comments
Holding bulk e-mailers accountable is the only way to make a dent in the problem.
Engage in a conversation about the plague called spam and it won't take long until words such as "permission," "opt-in," "double opt-in," and "opt-out" are bandied about. If a customer buys something from a Web site, it is generally accepted he will receive a purchase receipt by email even if he didn't explicitly opt in. A recent court decision in New York, involving MonsterHut, held that telling someone she must uncheck a prechecked box to avoid receiving future messages does not meet the legal requirement for permission. If a customer has bought something in a store and the store decides it would like to use email, rather than printed mail to communicate with the customer, can it contact the customer (by email) asking permission to deliver future messages that way? Defining permission is complicated.
It used to be marketers could simply ask forgiveness if they annoyed people with a call during dinner or unwanted mail. Not any more. Now it not only is considered good form but is increasingly becoming a legal requirement to ask permission before contacting consumers. And, as the old saying goes, it's a lot harder to ask permission than forgiveness.
Gaining consent from customers or prospects has become a central tenet of all modern direct marketing and customer communications and is at the heart of the legitimate email marketing versus spam debate. Yet defining consent can be a really tricky business. Even if we could come up with a good, generally accepted working definition, it wouldn't solve the spam problem.Permission: agreement to allow something to happen or be done.
That's the Encarta World English Dictionary definition. I give you permission to do something, you do it, and we're all set.
Not quite! If I remember exactly what I gave you permission to do and you were very clear about what was going to "happen or be done," we're probably OK. But how often does that happen? When I give a company permission to market to me, chances are the company does not record and remember all the details of how that permission was granted. And if, several months later, I even remember I did give the company permission, I probably won't remember the details either.
So if at some point I were to claim the company abused or did not even have permission, then it is my word against the company's incomplete database record. It is not uncommon for a company that has asked permission and adhered to existing best practices for collecting personal information to have databases with thousands, even millions, of email addresses. Unfortunately, the company often has no record of how, when, and where each individual ended up in the database.
Don't get me wrong. Asking permission before contacting someone is just plain common sense and something all legitimate marketers must do. The strategic importance of building relationships with customers has become essential to the modern corporation, and you can't have a relationship if you don't ask permission first. Most of us learned that when we started dating. Giving individuals control of what information they receive and from whom is, if nothing else, just plain good manners (and it makes business sense, too). Yet, there are two problems associated with much of the debate and many of the legal attempts at defining permission.
The first problem is with companies' existing database records. They contain information on millions of customers and prospects, but the records don't have a clear, auditable record of the kind of permission that has been granted. Furthermore, as these companies engage with individuals in the future, what is going to constitute good-enough proof they, in fact, have received permission?
Given the private right of action and high penalties baked into many of the proposed state anti-spam laws, it will become a tremendous liability for marketers if they cannot prove in a court of law the recipients gave them permission to send those emails. What constitutes the burden of proof and what represents "good enough" permission is still an area wide open to debate and surely future court deliberations.
The second problem is the greater one: the belief that defining permission will solve the spam problem. This is a red herring because spam breaks all the rules. Although making it a legal requirement to ask permission will certainly make legitimate marketers more polite (they'll be asking permission instead of forgiveness), it won't solve the spam problem.
Why? Spammers are deceptive. They use false identities and misleading subject lines that they constantly change to trick the technology filters and detection systems. They collect email addresses by "stealing" them from Web sites and by guessing common names, sending emails to those names, and seeing if they get a bounce to verify whether the email address is active. If it becomes illegal to operate in one state, they will move to another. And if federal legislation is enacted, they will move overseas. Focusing on consent is not going to stop these people from sending billions of junk messages every day because they never have, nor will they ever, ask for permission, nor even forgiveness, as they blanket us with annoying, offensive, and deceptive junk.
Only one thing will solve the spam problem: hold those who send high-volume email accountable for what they send. Accountability is the key to eradicating spam. Imagine if it were impossible to get high-volume email delivered without letting the world know who you are. Imagine if it were very difficult or expensive to continually morph your identity. If the mail gateways knew who was sending high-volume email, it would become virtually impossible for the spammers to send their unwanted junk unless they adhered to best practices.
Until the email infrastructure supports accountability, spam will continue to exist and thrive. Agreeing on standards for permission will make legitimate marketers more polite, but it won't solve the spam problem.

Sharapova out; Nadal, Murray win tough matches
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Two-time defending champion Victoria Azarenka saw another of her main adversaries crash out of the Australian Open on Monday, while top-ranked Rafael Nadal and Wimbledon champion Andy Murray faced tougher-than-expected matches to advance to the quarterfinals at Melbourne Park.
Maria Sharapova joined Serena Williams as fourth-round casualties, leaving Azarenka a potentially easier run to the women's final. Sharapova was beaten by No. 20 Dominika Cibulkova in the match on Rod Laver Arena immediately before Azarenka defeated Sloane Stephens, the last remaining American in the singles draw.
Nadal won three tough sets against Kei Nishikori, while Murray wasted four match points in the third set — including two in the tiebreaker — before dominating the fourth set against lucky loser Stephane Robert of France.
Four-time Australian Open champion Roger Federer was never threatened in beating 2008 finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 in a late match. He will play Murray in the quarterfinals on Wednesday.
Third-seeded Sharapova, complaining of a hip ailment, lost 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 after struggling with her serve and making 45 unforced errors. She joins Williams on the sidelines after the top-ranked American lost in three sets Sunday to Ana Ivanovic, ending 25-match winning streak.
Sharapova had spent the latter months of last year on the sidelines with a right shoulder injury, so she wasn't expecting much of herself.
"I have to look at the positives and see where I have come from in four or five months," Sharapova said. "I haven't played a lot of tennis. "
Azarenka had a 6-3, 6-2 win over No. 13-seeded Stephens, the player who beat Williams in the quarterfinals here last year and then lost to Azarenka in the semifinals under controversial circumstances. Azarenka took a medical time out when Stephens started to gain momentum in that match, then came back to advance to the final and subsequently win her second Australian Open trophy.
She wasn't getting carried away Monday with the apparent ease of the draw with Williams and Sharapova gone.
"The players who beat those players deserve all the credit because they've been better, so they are dangerous and they are competitive," Azarenka said.
Azarenka, who is on an 18-match winning streak at Melbourne Park, will next play No. 5 Agnieszka Radwanska, who beat Spain's Garbine Muguruza 6-1, 6-3 in the final fourth-round match Monday night.
Nadal beat Nishikori 7-6 (3), 7-5, 7-6 (3), though he was broken twice in the third set — getting a time violation from chair umpire Evanthia Asderaki in one of the games.
"Normally I have a good self-control on court, and it's true that the moment was a very critical one," Nadal said of the time violation.
The 13-time major winner also tripped in the first set and tumbled to the court, then had to go to the locker room to change shoes.
Nadal next plays Grigor Dimitrov, who reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the first time with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 win over Roberto Bautista Agut.

Atom and His Package
Making Love
No Idea
HOWEVER YOUNG OR old Atom Goren might be, anyone who refers to Taco Bell as a "restaurant" has his finger on the pulse of smart-assed suburban teendom. The Oreland, Pennsylvania, native with local ties revives the speedy, cartoonish punk of pre-growing-pains Bis and pre-college Descendents with a pop bounce courtesy of his cheap Yamaha sequencer, a.k.a. "The Package." Compiling a bunch of the one-man-band's seven-inch EPs, Making Love is an exhausting listen--music this unrelentingly goofy is best approached a handful of songs at a time. But a surprisingly large amount of it sticks, from the conceptual coup "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Lib" to the surprisingly affecting awkwardness of the rite-of-passage ditty "He Kissed Me."
There's also some amusing special pleading for Enya, as in, "I'm willing to do anything/I'll be her slave/There's only one word difference in 'new age' and 'new wave.'" There are kind words for the metric system: "Nine millimeters sounds cooler than my .3-something-inches gun.../Canadians will think we're smart/Or at least not as dumb." Other subjects mounted include Jewish Christmases ("We go to the movies and eat Chinese food") and Judas Priest singer Rob Halford's coming out ("Statistics say chances of being gay are one in ten/That means there's a 40 percent chance that one of the guys in Pantera likes men"). Badly needed.

Extensive Smooth Plains on Mercury
January 18, 2010
This NAC image is of an area just to the north of a previously released image acquired during MESSENGER's third flyby of Mercury. Both that previously released image and this one show large areas of Mercury's surface that appear to have been flooded by lava. In this view, craters are visible that have been nearly filled with lava, leaving only traces of their circular rims. MESSENGER images have revealed that the smooth plains in this region of Mercury's surface are quite extensive, and MESSENGER Science Team members are currently updating maps of the smooth plains created after the mission's second Mercury flyby to include these new views obtained from Mercury flyby 3. After the Mariner 10 mission, there was some controversy concerning the extent to which volcanism had modified Mercury's surface. Now MESSENGER results, including color composite images, evidence for pyroclastic eruptions, and images of vast lava plains (such as shown here) have demonstrated that Mercury was indeed volcanically active in the past.

Abstract: Recently, the Soviet mathematicians R. Ismagilov [4], E. Gluskin [3] and B. Kashin [5] have obtained some deep and surprising results on n-widths for Sobolev spaces in the mixed norm case. In this note, we will give a new and simpler proof of Gluskin's result and show its connection with a certain classical combinatorial problem.

Dogs on boats.
We don''t "live aboard" but spend a great deal of time both at the dock and sailing. Our fur child "Jade" is a 70lb Bouvier. She''s been on our sailboat since we adopted her at 8 weeks now shes 4 1/2. Bouvier''s are amazing dogs in that they are very agile, good see legs, mellow or energetic depending on our moods. She snorkels behind us with her own doggie PFD. This PFD is critical also if she were to fall over. There is no way we could lift her from the water to the deck without the handles. Bouv''s sink like a stone otherwise because their hair absorbs like a sponge. Bouv''s don''t shed are also hypo-allergic if that''s the right word. I''m deathly allergic to most animals. However, THEY DO NEED TO BE GROOMED. If I were to choose another dog other than a Bouvier it would probably be a Portugese Water Dog. Very similar.
I have yet to teach her to "do her thing" on the boat. She still holds it til we get to shore.
I can''t imagine not taking her with us when we leave for our long term cruise. But, sometimes I worry that we will be too prohibited because we have her. Such as day trips where the mode of travel is not dog friendly. Those of you cruising with dogs have you found this to be an issue?
Once again, this is just another aspect of life aboard to find solutions to.
Have fun!

Planning Board votes to ask City Council to change rules governing electronic signs
LACONIA — The Planning Board last night unanimously endorsed the changes to the zoning ordinance recommended by the Zoning Task Force to address the proliferation of electronic signage.
Following the vote,Suzanne Perley, who chairs the task force, said that she arranged with City Manager Scott Myers to present an explanation of the proposal to the City Council when it meets on Monday, May 12, but was unsure whether the council would take a vote that night or at a later meeting.
The amendment to the ordinance distinguishes between two types of "electronic message center" (EMC) — "static" and "dynamic." Static electronic signs are those on which neither the copy nor pictures change during the message while their dynamic counterparts appear to move or change as they present a stream of images or words that fly in, fade out, rotate and scroll across the face of the sign.
Neither type of electronic sign would be permitted in the six residential districts. Where they are permitted the dimensions and heights of signs must conform to those of freestanding signs in the specific district. Moreover, the electronic portion of the signs must not exceed 75 percent of the total area of the sign, a provision that ensures that all such signs are framed.
EMC-dynamic display signs would be confined to the commercial resort district, which includes the Weirs, and permitted there only by special exception.
EMC-static display signs would be excluded from the downtown riverfront district but permitted in the commercial resort district and permitted by special exception in the professional, business central, business central/industrial, commercial, industrial park, industrial and airport industrial districts.
After some discussion the Planning Board accepted the recommendation of the task force that the display, whether images or words, on EMC-static display signs not change more frequently than every five minutes. Steve Weeks, a longtime realtor who served on the task force, noted that in five minutes a driver traveling at 30 miles-per-hour would cover two-and-a-half miles and suggested the frequency be reduced to one minute.
Ben Barr of Watchfire, one of two domestic manufacturers of EMCs, said that signs on federal highways can change every 15 seconds and offered that one minute was "reasonable." He knew of no data that indicated that signs have caused accidents.
"Our concern is the safety of the person operating the motor vehicle and the person walking on the sidewalk," said board member Jay Tivnan.
Don Vachon, his colleague, said that in seeking greater frequency business owners are "asking for more return on their dollar," adding that electronic signs represent a significant investment.
Planning Director Shanna Saunders reminded the board of the Master Plan, which places a premium on "community character." She said that if the board opted for a frequency of one minute and came to regret its decision, it could not be undone.

Council committee recommends doing away wiht primaries for contests with 1 or 2 candidates
LACONIA — The Government Operations and Ordinances Committee of the City Council this week agreed to propose an amendment to the City Charter that would authorize the City Clerk to declare a primary election unnecessary if no more than two candidates file for any particular city office.
The committee also agreed to recommend that the filing period for municipal elections, which currently opens on the first Wednesday in June and close on the following Friday, be moved to August, approximately a month before the primary on the second Tuesday of September.
Mayor Ed Engler suggested changing the rules for write-in candidates in contested primary elections. The two candidates receiving the most votes in the primary are declared the winners and placed on the ballot of the municipal election in November. Engler proposed adding a rider specifying "unless the candidate receiving the second most votes had not filed declaration of candidacy and received fewer than 10 write-in votes."
Engler explained that he seeks to ensure that any write-in candidate who earns a place on the general election ballot has demonstrated an intent to serve by mounting a write-in campaign as reflected by polling a minimum number of votes. He said that for some years individuals with no prior intention of serving have qualified for a place on the ballot with less than handful of write-in votes.
The committee referred Engler's proposal to the city attorney for review.
The committee will present its recommendation to the City Council, when it meets on Monday, May 12. If the council agrees, it will begin the process of amending the charter, which includes a holding public hearing on the proposed changes and placing the question on the general election ballot in November.
The committee stopped short of doing away with primary elections altogether, the alternative proposal offered by City Clerk Mary Reynolds. Laconia is one of three of the state's 13 cities to conduct municipal primary elections. In both the other two — Manchester and Keene —the charters authorize the city clerk to deem a primary election election unnecessary if no more than two candidates file for any particular office.
In a memorandum, Reynolds explained that in 1995 voters eliminated partisan elections, in which party caucuses nominated the candidates for mayor and City Council, and instead introduced primary elections to choose the two candidates who appeared on the municipal election ballot.
Along with the mayor and city councilors, primary elections are also held to nominate candidates for the the seven seats on the School Board, whose members serve staggered terms, requiring a primary every year, and three seats on the Police Commission.
Since the change was introduced, relatively few primary elections have been contested, and very few voters have cast ballots. For example, in 1997, when the first primary was held, only one candidate entered the primary for City Council in each of the six wards and only two candidates entered the mayoral primary. With no contested races, just 7 percent of registered voters went to the polls.
In the eight primary elections between 1997 and 2011 voter turnout has averaged 9 percent. In three of the past eight elections — in 2003, 2009 and 2011 — primary elections were held even though there were not more than two candidates for either mayor or any of the six council seats. In 2011, only 259 of 8,422, or 3 percent of registered voters went to the polls, just 21 of them in Ward 2 and another 22 in Ward 5, at a cost to the city of approximately $39 a vote. Last year when there were three candidates for mayor but no more than two for any of six city council seats the turnout was 6 percent.
Reynolds said that cost of conducting municipal primary elections is approximately $8,600, which does not include about $1,000 for police details at the polling stations at Woodland Heights Elementary School and Laconia Middle School. The cost consists of $3,900 for printing ballots, $1,000 for materials at polling stations and $3,700 in wages of poll workers.
Despite the cost, a majority of the council appears unwilling to jettison the primary election. Without a primary, they fear, more than two candidates could enter the municipal election, creating a risk of splitting the vote so as to ensure the election of a candidate representing a minority of the electorate.

City will step up code enforcement effort
LACONIA — One day last week Fire Chief Ken Erickson pulled his command vehicle to a stop across from two vacant buildings at the corner of Webster and Adams streets. The space between them was strewn with discarded furniture and belongings, overlooked by a small barn, slumping under the weight of time.
"Right now this is the worst in the city," Erickson said. Climbing on to the porch of the larger of the two buildings, he pushed open the door, stepped inside and shouted "fire chief, anyone in there!" He went to other building and did the same. Abandoned and unsecured, the property, Erickson said, is both an eyesore and a hazard. He said that it would not be the first vacant building to attract people in search of shelter and warmth, who light fires to heat a meal or fight the cold.
"How would you like to be the guy next door?' Erickson asked, pointing to a gleaming white fenced New Englander without a picket out of place or a shutter askew.
Passing a number of occupied properties where equipment, furniture, mattresses, toys and bags of trash were scattered about the yard or piled high against the building, Erickson said apart from detracting from the appearance of the neighborhood such conditions posed a health risk and fire hazard. "What's worse," he said, "it spreads until the whole neighborhood goes downhill."
In 2009, when the City Council and department managers held a series of strategic planning sessions, enhancing the appearance of public and private property emerged as a high priority. At the time Councilor Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) called attention to the growing number of abandoned properties, particularly foreclosed homes in possession of financial institutions.
City Manager Scott Myers said yesterday that when he succeeded Eileen Cabanel in June 2011 the city had been without a code enforcement officer for a year. When a search failed to produce a suitable candidate, he said that the code enforcement function was administratively attached to the Planning Department and it entered a two-year contract with John Turner Consulting of Dover for building inspection services. Myers noted that at the time major construction projects were underway at Lakes Region General Hospital and Laconia High School. The city entered a similar arrangement with McCusker Consulting last year.
Myers acknowledged that fewer resources were assigned to property maintenance. "We more or less took a reactive approach," he said, "by responding to complaints when we received them." He estimated that between 20 and 22 hours per week was spent on property maintenance issues. Nevertheless, there were 202 property maintenance cases in fiscal year 2011, almost twice as many as the year before.
However, beginning with the 2013-2014 budget the hours for property maintenance were increased to 26 per week. Myers said a vacant position is in the process of being filled and that the job description has been strengthened with the expectation that the successful applicant spend 80-percent of the hours in the field identifying and addressing property maintenance issues. At the same time, Myers said that all city employees, especially those who regularly travel around the city, have been advised to serve as "eyes and ears" by reporting situations needing attention. "We're taking a much more pro-active approach," he said.
Myers said that the city also hopes to introduce an electronic inspection platform that would enable the agents of the different departments responsible for inspections — chiefly the Fire, Planning, Public Works and Water departments — to use hand-held devices to communicate with another about the scheduling and completion of inspections. The system would also enable property owners to make a single payment for the various permits they require.
Myers said that consolidating all inspections, including those conducted by the code enforcement director, in the Fire Department is being contemplated. With the proposed renovation and expansion of Central Station there will be sufficient space to house the necessary personnel. Moreover, the addition of four firefighters, which the city hopes to retain when the federal funding for the positions expires next spring, has increased the capacity and flexibility of the Fire Department to conduct inspections without resorting to overtime.
The Fire Department is currently responsible for the interior of all buildings and the chief serves as the city health officer. Myers said that its is not uncommon for fire departments to manage code enforcement, though just as often it falls to the planning department.
Erickson believes that along with closer enforcement, the ordinance should be strengthened. The duty of the Code Enforcement Director "to enforce all laws relating to the construction, alteration, removal and demolition of buildings and structures" as well as enforcement of the BOCA (Building Officials Code Administrators International) Property Maintenance Code, which addresses safety and sanitation.
Without disagreeing, Myers said that enforcing aesthetic standards, which are inherently subjective, can be challenging. A city ordinance, entitled "certain accumulations prohibited," forbids individuals and companies dumping or keeping "offensive matter" on their property so near to public spaces or adjoining properties as to jeopardize public health or impair the use, occupation and enjoyment of neighboring properties. The violation carries a maximum fine of $500.
Myers said that the first response should be to assist property owner's attempts to maintain their premisses, stressing that enforcement is costly and lengthy, especially when it applies to absentee landlords. He recalled that recently the city advertised in the "Los Angeles Times" in an effort to track a landlord to his last known address. He said that Jim Sawyer, the police prosecutor, has been assisting with the most difficult cases. Furthermore, he pointed out that the municipalities possess only what authority over private property owners the Legislature grants them.

Meredith preparing for June sculpture walk
MEREDITH — In June some 15 locations around town will be graced with original sculptures, fashioned by artists from New Hampshire and New England from a variety of materials, with the opening of the first leg of the Sculpture Walk, sponsored by the Greater Meredith Program.
Bev Lapham, co-chair of the committee managing the project, told the Board of Selectmen this week that after inviting applications from 150 sculptors and reviewing about 50 submissions the jury has chosen some 30 pieces as appropriate for public display. Meanwhile, the committee has scouted more than two dozen locations, including public parks, town streets, commercial properties and private residences, where the sculptures will be placed.
Each sculpture will be mounted, together with a plaque describing the work and identifying the artist. All the pieces are on loan and are not for sale, but anyone is welcome to contact an artist and commission a sculpture. The committee will prepare a brochure and walking map to accompany the grand opening on July 1.
Lapham said that the Greater Meredith Program intends to place more than two dozen sculptures at strategic locations over the course of the next two years to add "artistic excitement " and encourage foot traffic downtown.
Lapham urged those interested in the project to visit the Greater Meredith Program website (www.greatermeredithprogram.com) or the Meredith Sculpture Walk Facebook page.

I had to pick 'er up
And I couldn't do it!!
Just how does one pick up a 600 pound motorcycle off the ground? Or lift it, tilt it, and just get it on its two wheels again once down?
I tried a couple of techniques I saw posted on the youtube but apparently I haven't the strength of a 5 foot, 100 pound female rider using her back! So there I was, fresh from hitting some curbside sand with my bike on its side and leaning toward....the curb. I was afraid if and when I got it lifted it would tilt the other way and fall on the sidewalk
No need to worry though cuz the bike was not budging up one way or another. So I had to humbly motion to a guy in a minivan to come out and help lift the bike. He was pleasant and asked if I was ok. I was, and more concerned with the bike. Just a scrape on the clutch cover, so I am thankful for that. A "soft drop" it was, and grateful for that, too. But soft or hard the damn thing was still on the ground.... and on its side!
And its not even 600 pounds. More like 450, wet. But it reminded me of a time I saw a MC cop drop his bike after parking. It went down, he went down, and I helped him lift it back up. That was far heavier then my bike and did not fall as flat due to all the cop stuff on its side. But it still took me, the officer, and his partner lending a hand to get the beast up!!
So, if and when your bike has fallen how have you dealt with it? I mean do you just stand there and look at it? With all the riders here their must be a good way, a best way, THE WAY....to get our bikes off the ground when no one else is around.
Oh, the humanity

The youtube techniques you're talking about really do work. Honestly, the best thing to do is probably to take your bike to a soft grass field and kick it over and practice getting it back upright solo. Watch the videos, try to learn the techniques.
You're never going to be able to just deadlift it off the ground and place it back on its wheels. There are tricks to lifting that both make the task easier and save you from a hernia or a spine injury.
It is definitely easier if it doesn't fall over all the way, as you noticed with the cop bike (though the huge weight of those doesn't exactly make it an easy task). Maybe a set of engine guards would help?

Watch the videos closely and notice the position of the front wheel.
It can help you or fight you.

And don't forget to put the sidestand down before you pick it up if it falls to the right side, it sucks to pick the bike up only to realize that you have nothing to lean it onto....

Those youTube, butt-against-seat-hand on bar-bar turned the right way-hand on rear rack-push with legs (usually) works for me (my bike is 377lb dry). Here's an example:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfsUZDA8CoI
It is much tougher to execute on a slope, or with poor footing, or if exhausted from dragging it out of a mud hole, etc. In those cases, I take a rest and try again and hope someone else eventually comes along to help!

Practice Practice Practice. Those videos work if you are executing it right. I'm usually hopped up on adrenaline/embarrassment from the dump that it hardly seems difficult.
Try practicing it in your yard/driveway till you get it down/up whatever.

...and make sure it is in gear so it's not trying to roll away from you.
Yeah, the front wheel should be turned inward towards the fall, not outward.

Bike in gear is a must. Kickstand down is also a good plan, when nearly righted keeps you from having to deal "oh chit" #2. Back in the day I could get away with picking up a full dress Harley by following the drill... secure against rolling, kickstand down. lift with your legs and put LOTSA ARSE into it. As I got older but regardless of age learned if you can't pick it up...the bike is too big for you. Yeah sucky hit to your pride realization but less sucky than hoping Mrs soccer mom in her SUV hauling the team wanders by.

don't be discouraged. All these videos make it look easy are always with big wide bars or a bmw resting on it's cases (do those things even count as a tip over?) Not so easy with a sport bike that has no grab points and clipons, good luck getting your butt even close to the seat.
On tough drops like those I stand beside the front bar/clip on facing the bike, squat, lift straight up with the legs like a dead lift. Sometimes there just ain't no way to pick it up by yourself so get help. Sometimes the enraged hulk yell helps to get the adrenaline going. That or carry a can of spinach I guess.

really 450 lb. bike . not on a downhill slope or on a slippery surface? just grab hold and pick it up. you're probably only lifting 125 lb for the first little bit. then it gets lighter quick. time to hit the gym?
btw lifting the bike with ass against the seat and using the knees, does not work when you're 6'7 and have stiff knees.

I have had a couple of incidents with my work bike (ST1300) that I have dropped it, and been by myself.
With all my police equipment on there, I think it is around 675 lb.
Using the youtube technique, I can pick it up by myself, no problem. (I'm only 5'6" and 170)
Mainly, just walk it backwards with your legs.
I did, however, drop it on a grassy hill once, and it went to the downhill side. It actually wound up "past" horizontal.
I had to drag that stupid thing down the hill on its side, 'til I reached some flatter terrain, to pick it up
(Wasn't funny at the time, though)

After dropping my GSA1200 about 6 times the other day out in Death Valley, I solved the problem by buying a KTM690 Enduro, which weighs 320 lbs wet.
If I'm riding my GSA solo in the dirt (which I suspect will be an exceptionally rare event these days) I carry a snow mobile hi lift jack (called a SnowBuddy) in my top case. It weighs 6 lbs or so and will handily jack up the GSA.
Since I bought the jack many years ago I have never had to use it to lift the GSA outside of practice, as I have always managed to lift it up by myself or have had others with me to help.
I do think the ass on tank method works better the more solid footing you have and the shorter you are.
The following is my old post (search snowbuddy in Gspot):
Link to original thread (note, if you read this thread note that I took lots of abuse in it from "fellow" inmates, so FYYFF's in advance for any negativity here):http://advrider.com/forums/showthrea...ight=snowbuddy
Mods - I'd like to see this in GSpot at least for a while as I think the GS/GSA's are about the only dual sports heavy enough to need one of these.
I was at DeansBMW's place in Show Low Arizona last Monday and decided to try out the new jack I recently picked up for my GSA. I have dropped the bike a couple of times and not been able to pick it up by myself, which really has me concerned about taking dirt roads when riding solo.
This was my last solo ride up Lynx Road in Angeles Crest. I was having a hell of a time trying to get the bike up when a 4x4 truck driver came by to help.
So I started thinking that I would like a light weight motorcycle equivalent to a high lift jack I've used for off road driving. I finally found this site which I thought would fit the bill:
http://snowbuddy.com/whysnowbuddy.html Edit May 2010- looks like this web site has been hacked. See post 67 of this thread for a recent phone number that I hope still works.
The owner of the site has designed these jacks for snow mobiles (snow machines for the Alaska crew). He sent me a lightweight model that he first made for snowmobiles that he decided was just a bit too lightweight for dead lifting and pushing over a snow mobile. He sent me the light weight model with a cordura bag that is great for storage, and also is great to use as a barrier between the bike and the lift cable. For a reduced price (I think about $130) I was sent the full snowmobile jack minus the foot plate and first half a bar, the foot plate being designed for snow.
As the jack is made out of 1/2 inch square bar stock (aluminum), I had Dean's welder buddy in Alpine TX (we were in Alpine over the weekend) make up a base foot and about a 10" long 3/4" steel bar with holes drilled. I figure if I need a bit more height on the jack I can get a pin to go through the holes on the 3/4" bar so the 1/2" jack bar slips in and sits a bit off the ground.
I gently let my GSA down. The bike is a R1200GS ADV with about 6 or 7 gallons of gas and the cases and top box stuffed full for a week trip, I'm guessing mybe as much as 650 lbs.
Here is the jack, actually a snowmobile jack modified with a different foot assy by Don Holms (great welder) at Starsovertexas in Alpine Texas.
The best results were hooking its attaching loop to the cylinder crash bars, which Dean figured out.
After figuring out the best way to place the jack I was able to ratchet the bike up without too much effort.
A happy man, able to pick up my loaded ADV by himself. When the bike was laying down in the dirt, I could not even budge it the slightest with any convential method.
The jack worked great using the Adventure tank/engine bar as a lift point. Dean helped me figure out that the best lift point for a GSA is towards the front, and by using the tank bar you get a moment arm off the centerline of the bike.
Use the right lift point, use the jack carefully and correctly, and it was pretty easy to get the bike up to a point where I could push the bike the rest of the way up using the butt to seat, hand on bar end and passenger handle (the way the woman rider has people pick up bikes in the video floating around the web).
I think even with some injury it would be possible to get the GSA up with this jack. I have not tried it, but the hand grip (handle bar) might also be a good lift point. Also, I did not have to take the cases off the bike to lighten it up. I'm sure I had 100 lbs in cases and contents, and about a half tank of gas. You have to be a stronger than average guy to pick up a GSA single handedly even when pretty empty, much less with a load.
The jack inside its cordura case will fit in a GSA top box, although it has to be diagonal in the box. I believe the jack bars are 15 inches.
The guy making the jacks is sort of out of the business and is selling off his stock. If this is of an interest I would check it out sooner than later. BTW, I turned down the jack seller's offer for any deals on my jack if others buy, I just wanted to figure something out. The one thing I do not like about the GSA is that I no longer felt comfortable travelling on dirt in back country by myself. This jack cures this problem. For that, its a cheap $150 or so.

Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

Scientists at the Sahlgrenska Academy have discovered an explanation of how stroke patients can achieve better recovery. A hormone that is associated with the growth hormone system has proved to benefit recovery during the later phases of rehabilitation after a stroke.
Insulin-like growth factor I, IGF-I, is a hormone that is found in the blood and contributes to, among other things, growth and bone mass. The levels of this hormone are higher in people who exercise regularly and those with good health. Scientists at the Sahlgrenska Academy have shown for the first time that high levels of this hormone are associated with better long-term recovery after a stroke. The study has been presented in an article in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.
"This study is interesting for two reasons. The first is that we show that a hormone is associated with improved long-term recovery, and thus there is still the prospect of improvement even after three months after the stroke. The second is that levels of this hormone are known to be elevated in those who exercise often", says Associate Professor David berg at the Sahlgrenska Academy, who has led the study in collaboration with Professor Jrgen Isgaard.
"It is, however, important to add that the levels of IGF-I are controlled also by other factors such as other growth hormones, heredity and nutrition", emphasises David berg.
The study is based on 407 patients who are participating in the SAHLSIS study at the Sahlgrenska Academy, in which people aged 18-70 years who are affected by stroke are followed up for two years after the event. SAHLSIS is an acronym for "The Sahlgrenska Academy Study on Ischemic Stroke".
Scientists have measured the levels of IFG-I in these 407 patients and seen that increased levels are associated with better recovery, when the degree of recovery is determined between 3 and 24 months after the stroke. Previous research (Bondanelli et al) has also shown a

Contract awarded for Ojai Valley Trail bridge; closure in mid-October
Construction of a bridge on the Ojai Valley Trail is due to start by mid-October now that county officials have chosen a contractor for the project north of Casitas Springs.
County Parks Director Ron Van Dyck expects to partially close the trail used for bicycling and horseback riding sometime between Oct. 10 and Oct. 18 so work can begin.
The trail is scheduled to remain closed in the construction area until the end of January. Van Dyck says the suspended, 240-foot bridge is needed to curb erosion, end frequent washouts of the trail and provide smooth passage for endangered steelhead trout.
"It will be a great win for the community that uses the trail on a regular basis," he said Thursday.
Public works officials this week awarded the contract to the low bidder, Souza Engineering Contracting Inc. of San Luis Obispo. Souza will remove a 1980s concrete crossing over San Antonio Creek and replace it with a manufactured bridge.
"We expect them to be in there very quickly," Van Dyck said.
The trail runs for nearly 10 miles along Highway 33 between Ojai and Ventura.
Souza's bid of $723,859 was about $160,000 under an engineer's estimate of $885,000 for the job. Last week, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors authorized the award of a contract as long as the winning bid did not exceed the estimate by more than 15 percent.
Normally, supervisors award bids after seeing them, but in this case they OK'd the award before the nine bids were opened. They took the step because the deadline for a $500,000 state grant was about to expire.
Supervisors pledged up to $500,000 in February to make sure the project got started in time to beat a variety of grant deadlines. Van Dyck said the cushion the bid provides suggests the county funds may not be needed.
"It gives us breathing room," he said.
The total project is estimated at $1.8 million, including the price of the manufactured bridge.
Ken Johnston, project manager for Souza, said he won't know the starting date until he meets with county officials next week. He did not anticipate any unusual problems with the project.

Since the Obama administration entered the White House, first lady Michelle Obama has made it her personal mission to improve the health of America's children by teaching them the importance of a balanced diet and an active lifestyle. Her Let's Move campaign and non-profit group Partnership for a Healthier America have been working towards this goal for five years, and have started to turn the tide on America's childhood obesity problem and the way food and beverage companies market to the country's youngest consumers.
"Over the past five years we have truly changed the culture around health and living in this country," Obama said in a keynote speech last week at the Partnership for a Healthy America Summit. "Food companies are racing like never before to create healthier versions of their products. Even convenience stores are selling fruits and vegetables. Head to the local drive-thru and kids' meals might include apples and skim milk. (read more…)
Retailers are operating in a very exciting world today. From social media to mobile devices, there are more ways to reach consumers than ever before. But retailers still have a ways to go to create a seamless shopping experience that spans across channels, according to a panel of experts who spoke at NRF's BIG Show in New York City.
One of the major challenges for retailers when it comes to the path to purchase is that all these exciting new technologies exist across different silos, which can make it complicated for retailers to reach consumers in the most efficient way, according to Martyn Osborne, product chief at PCMS. He pointed out that while retailers look at technology in different buckets like mobile and online, consumers don't think of technology in quite the same way, and that can create a disconnect between retailers and their shoppers who are looking for that seamless experience.

Phrases like gluten-free, fair trade and non-GMO hadn't even been coined in 1952, when a handful of U.S. cheese importers banded together to fight tariffs that were hurting their businesses. The effort succeeded and led to the formation of the Specialty Food Association, which is celebrating its 60th Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City this week.
Today, U.S. specialty food and beverage manufacturers market an average of 41 different products and last year the industry did a record $88.3 billion in retail and foodservice sales, according to the association. Sales dipped in 2009, as the recession hit, but they came back strong in the ensuing years, as foodies who had been used to fine dining started cooking at home more, said spokeswoman Louis Kramer.
At the same time, people who were losing jobs or otherwise downsizing were also reassessing their lives, dusting off old dreams and creating entrepreneurial food businesses, many of which are on display in the new-product hall at the show. (read more…)
Despite the fact that women are underrepresented in leadership, organizations that hire more women leaders perform better than those that don't, and companies in the consumer packaged goods industry are starting to take notice, according to the Women 2020 report from the Network of Executive Women. The report says that a diverse workforce helps foster innovative environments at CPG companies, and female leaders from Walgreen, PepsiCo, Kraft and Wal-Mart talked about the challenges they face and how their companies work to foster women leaders last week during a panel at FMI Connect.
Melissa Donaldson, director of diversity networks and communications at Walgreen, Trish Lukasik, senior vice president of PepsiCo Sales, Regenia Stein, NEW secretary and former Kraft Executive, and Kaitlin Wolfe, a regional director of operations for Wal-Mart, talked about the unconscious biases that women face in the workforce, including the "mom penalty," career planning and appearance.
"I think it's so critical that we understand what women face in business and that women help other women," Wolfe said. (read more…)
Speakers, exhibitors and attendees alike descended on Chicago's McCormick Place Tuesday to kick off FMI Connect, the Food Marketing Institute's annual show. In a flurry of shuttle buses and registration badges, there was a common theme of partnership and networking as members of the food industry began connecting with one another for the week's event.
Marc de Speville, founder of consultancy Strategic Food Retail and a speaker at FMI Connect, geared up for his Thursday session covering technology trends in the changing world of food retail as he traveled to Chicago, preparing himself to talk about how online grocery will affect food retail. He said he will focus on showing retailers how they can utilize high-tech solutions to compete effectively with Amazon and other online grocery businesses as the pureplay industry continues to grow.
"This is a great chance to share what I believe are mostly new ideas regarding the coming challenges and opportunities for mainstream supermarkets and see how people respond to them, what sort of pushback I get," he said. (read more…)

Sedentary (sitting) behaviours are ubiquitous in modern society. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the association of sedentary time with diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.
Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Library databases were searched for terms related to sedentary time and health outcomes. Cross-sectional and prospective studies were included. RR/HR and 95% CIs were extracted by two independent reviewers. Data were adjusted for baseline event rate and pooled using a random-effects model. Bayesian predictive effects and intervals were calculated to indicate the variance in outcomes that would be expected if new studies were conducted in the future.
Eighteen studies (16 prospective, two cross-sectional) were included, with 794,577 participants. Fifteen of these studies were moderate to high quality. The greatest sedentary time compared with the lowest was associated with a 112% increase in the RR of diabetes (RR 2.12; 95% credible interval [CrI] 1.61, 2.78), a 147% increase in the RR of cardiovascular events (RR 2.47; 95% CI 1.44, 4.24), a 90% increase in the risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.90; 95% CrI 1.36, 2.66) and a 49% increase in the risk of all-cause mortality (HR 1.49; 95% CrI 1.14, 2.03). The predictive effects and intervals were only significant for diabetes.
Sedentary time is associated with an increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality; the strength of the association is most consistent for diabetes.
