Emmylou Harris Celebrates 20 Years of Opry Membership; Free Music From Missy Raines; Dolly Parton is Hot
- On January 21, Emmylou Harris will celebrate her 20th year as an Opry member at the Ryman.
- Edd Hurt of the Nashville Scene chatted with Emmylou about her music and animal rescue organization.
- Go download Missy Raines & The New Hip's version of "Christmas Time is Here." It's free and good.
- Chet Flippo has some holiday gift suggestions for the country fan.
- Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton made the Men's Health 100 Hottest Women of All Time list, coming in at 93 and 92, respectively.
- Queen Latifah digs Dolly's cooking. (The two co-star in upcoming film Joyful Noise.)
- The Little Willies' upcoming album got three stars from Hal Horowitz of American Songwriter.
- RCA will release a Martina McBride collection, Hits and More, on January 17. The 20 song disc will include three new tracks.
- "The Christmas Shoes" sent our fake pal Reginald Spears over the edge as he brought a country radio station to its knees this week: "I told that little weasely sumbitch DJ that if he played that 'Christmas Shoes' crap again, he was going to regret it," said the local man by phone interview yesterday.
- Rural Rhythm Records and Musicians Against Childhood Cancer are planning to release benefit record Life Goes On in 2012. The album will include live performances from past MACC festivals.
- Charlie Clark of the Falls Church News-Press wrote a feature on Mary Cliff, who has spent the past three decades hosting the weekly folk music radio show "Traditions," which can be streamed on WAMU's Bluegrass Country.
- Chris Mateer interviewed American Primitive guitarist Glenn Jones. Here's an excerpt in which Jones talks about developing his own voice as an artist: In terms of developing my own voice, I don't think that happened until I was in my thirties. Listening to the tracks Fahey recorded as a teenager for Joe Bussard's private Fonotone label…I'm amazed how fully formed Fahey's aesthetic is right from the get-go. Over the course of that set you can hear him becoming a better guitarist, and a better composer for guitar, with each session. For me, it took years to find something that felt like it belonged to me.
- Here's Trace Adkins singing "Kiss You All Over" with Exile.

Lone Star Music has released the list of their 50 best selling albums of 2011 and only two of them are by female artists! Sunny Sweeney's "Concrete" is at # 20 and the Pistol Annie's "Hell On Heels" is at # 47 and that's it! I hate to admit I have anything in common with Red Dirt music fans, but those are my two favorite female artist albums of 2011 as well. Crikey! (lol)

Opty Alert! Tonight's Opry will feature Joe Diffie, Steve Wariner, Will Hoge, and Ricky Skaggs. Grade B. Saturday night's Opry gets a whole lot more interesting and will feature Emmylou Harris, the Civil Wars, Keb Mo, Ella Mae Bowen, The Grascals, and Steve Wariner. Definitely an "E Ticket" Opry on Saturday! Grade A!
Opty alert? Hmmm…
I have got to make it to Emmylou's Opry Anniversary show. If I don't attend any other shows throughout the whole of 2012, I at least must be at that one!
Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton made the Men's Health 100 Hottest Women of All Time list, coming in at 93 and 92, respectively.
Does this mean Emmylou Harris is not on that list? If so, it is balderdash of the first order and not worth any man's time.
A music pal in England sent me a link to an album review in The Guardian of something that sounds quite interesting! Its by a new male/female duo named "My Darling Clementine" and the album title is "How Do You Plead?". Here are the first couple sentences of the review:
"Michael Weston King sounds as if he was born at the wrong time, in the wrong place. The former leader of the British alt-country band the Good Sons, he is now joined by his partner Louise Dalgleish for an album of country duets that sound as if they were written in the 60s or 70s. It's a finely crafted tribute to the classic country duos such as Johnny Cash and June Carter or George Jones and Tammy Wynette, with all the songs written by King and Dalgleish and several sounding like lost classics."
Full review: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/nov/10/my-darling-clementine-cd-review
If it's anywhere near as good as the recent DooWop album "Good Ol' Fashioned Love" by the Brit band "The Overtones", I'm in! (lol)

Wife to one amazing husband , SAHM to DS 10/09, DS 10/19, one furbaby , and lots of !
I got pregnant on day 24 of my cycle, and I do have regular cycles. At least, I thought I do. So, it just is not a foolproof method, and if your partner would have want to be 100% sure (which he never can be anyway, except not doing it ;) ) - he should have used a condom or something.
I was lucky, my DH coped better than I did. I thought we were on the safe sight ...
My kids were conceived on day 30 and day 7 of my cycles. We thought we were safe, too. These methods just can't be relied on. I'm sure your BF will cool down eventually and deal with it. You weren't expecting him to be thrilled, right?

Clashes resume between Egyptian Christians, police
Television footage showed the military vehicle slamming into the crowd. Coptic protesters were shown attacking a soldier, while a priest tried to protect him.
In the past weeks, riots have broken out at two churches in southern Egypt, prompted by Muslim crowds angry over church construction. One riot broke out near the city of Aswan, even after church officials agreed to a demand by ultraconservative Muslims known as Salafis that a cross and bells be removed from the building.
Aswan's governor, Gen. Mustafa Kamel al-Sayyed, further raised tensions by suggesting to the media that the church construction was illegal.
Protesters said the Copts are demanding the ouster of the governor, reconstruction of the church, compensation for people whose houses were set on fire and prosecution of those behind the riots and attacks on the church.

I'm 35 weeks today! Time is flying by!
35 weeks today!! :) Getting so close! Who else is with me?
I'm 35 weeks tomorrow. So crazy!
Ill be 36 weeks tomorrow. 28 days, 17 hours, 00 mins and 18 seconds left :)
I was 35 weeks on Tuesday--I had my appointment this morning and will have my next appointment almost at my 37 week mark because my doc is out of town next week...I hope that these next two weeks fly by because I am EXHAUSTED...i also hope that I dilate some by my next appointment--Today i was a fingertip whatevre that means--which probably means nothing! LOL I have been having random contractions here and there, so I hope they continue so that my next appt I am thinned or something!
I will be 35 weeks on Sunday!! I am so excited cause i cant wait to see his little face!!! I go back to the doc in 2 weeks then I start my 1 week appointments. I was also a fingertip (1cm) dialted! Doc said to prepare for a Turkey baby! AS long as he is healthy and I can take him home I'm ok with that!!!
Tiffany(27) married (6/30/2010) to DC (28)
Parents to Alijaha Danielle (2/08) and Averie Andrade (12/12)
So does a fingertip mean 1 cm? I have read so many different things about it--some saying it means 1/2 cm others saying its barely anything really just your cervix barely opening, others have said it depends on the size of your docs fingers lol
Lol my doc said it was about 1cm... IDK guess it would depend on the size of the docs hand. I have a male doctor.

Gray, Hamilton booted from 'Dancing'
Singer Macy Gray and actor Ashley Hamilton were the first two contestants eliminated from Season 9 of the U.S. competition series
Dancing with the Stars.
Wednesday night's results show also featured a tribute to
Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze, who died of cancer last week.
Professional dancers Chelsie Hightower and Dmitry Chaplin performed to
She's Like the Wind, which Swayze had sung for the
Dirty Dancing soundtrack, E! News said.
Real-life husband and wife dancers Jonathan Roberts and Anna Trebunskaya then waltzed to
Unchained Melody, a song used in an iconic scene in Swayze's romantic drama,
Ghost. Tony Dovolani and Cheryl Burke wrapped up the medley by dancing to
Time of My Life, which appears at the end of
Dirty Dancing when Swayze's character Johnny utters the unforgettable line,

Customer Reviews
Cute game, good for relaxing
Playing the game through for the second time. It may not be the best Kairosoft game, but it's still cute and enjoyable in its own way. I use it to help wind down at the end of the day and relax. I've only run into one bug so far: my screen stops accepting touch commands. It seems to happen at random times. When it does I can no longer build, check the menu, etc. Once I'm out of the game, no problem. But I have to double tap my iphone button and swipe the game out of the memory so it'll reload when I open it up for the touch to start working again. The autosave makes it so I don't lose EVERYthing but still...
Other than that it is great. It is a little annoying that you build a floor, find it doesn't quite work and can't remodel it. But I consider it part of the business.
This Game
This game is awesome! I love everything about it! You basically create floors, get employees, help people various things, and one of my favorite parts is going on the list of clothes that I have and ordering the clothes I need for upcoming seasons (cause I'm anal like that). My only problem is after you build the 6th floor the game is pretty much finished, it keeps going, new things will happen, you will be able to sell enough of a certain company to buy more from them and all that, but once you use up all of your shelf/fixture/tenant space with all 6 floors... You don't get any more room for anything. This would be difficult but it would be amazing to be able to add more floors instead of having to keep destroying the fixtures I "don't need" to make room. But yeah... That's it.
Kinda disappointing.
Not much replay value to be in this game as opposed to their other stellar titles.
I'm a fan of kairosoft. (Bought every game except the soccer franchise.) To such dedication, nearly every review of their titles has been a 4 star. Rarely should a game receive 5 star unless its flawless. (Extremely rare, y'know.)
The gameplay is simple, yet confusing at the same time.
I dislike that once you create a floor, its permanent. No paying bearington construction to remodel. Your just simply stuck with it. And every article of clothing requires to spend medals on it. Another mind blowing, dumb idea is spending the medals on your employees.
So your stuck either with getting new clothes or leveling employees which cost alot of medals to consider.
So there are a few mechanics of the game I disagree with.
The fixated camera angle, unable to enlarge or make smaller screen.. No can do here.
There is very little innovation to be found in this game.
Same format. Same cutesy graphics. Match clothes > fixtures > unlock employees > unlock new customers. Which found in the other "compatibilities" titles such hot springs story, edo towns, etc.
Slightly laggy gameplay. (Its minute, but noticable.)
I just couldn't wait to finish this game, just to say I completed.

We're told at least one teen was taken to the hospital after the crash. The driver of the farm truck was reportedly not injured.

This apartment is a new building located in the heart of the city, perfect for people who want to discover the fabulous city of Seville. The apartment is completely and stylish furnished with one bedroom and one sofa- bed, perfect for couples or families.
It also has an awesome flat roof with a swimming pool with a beautiful aerial view of the famous Giralda.
Great location
Renter testimonial:
' Excellent apartment and equipment, no noise. Impressive view of the Giralda and wonderful under the sun even in the month of February. Very well located, surrounded by as many tapas bar and restaurants. Near the old Jewish Quarter and the city centre. It is a dream to live! '
'Superb location, very clean and very well located in the centre of Seville. We are delighted with our week, the view of the pool on the terrace, directly on the Giralda, is magic´
I am a person who loves my city and love to show it to others.
I have been living in Seville during all my life, i love music, to travel and i always enjoy the company of my family and friends.
I am friendly and i am looking forward to help you during your stay in my beautiful city :)
Amazing swimming pool with great views of the Cathedral
My husband and I traveled through Portugal and Spain and stayed at this Seville apartment. The apartment was exactly as described on the posting, very clean, excellent location. Elena was extremely helpful in making the arrangements and meeting us when we arrived. The swimming pool was a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing. I highly recommend this property.
The apartment was as described. A very nice apartment in the center of town a block from the Seville Cathedral. Elena was very nice and helpful. She gave a complete rundown of everything we wanted to know about the town to make our 3 week stay easy. It was a delightful trip. Elena, thank you very much.
The apartment has everything you need, and is huge, especially the living/dining room. We appreciated having laundry facilities, and we used the rooftop pool each day after walking around town all day. We didn't really need the extra bathroom, but it can be useful. There were dozens of restaurants right outside the door, yet the apartment was very quiet when the windows are closed. Everything is so close, you can walk easily to all the main attractions. The bus terminal is relatively close, but the train station was a longer walk. It is hard to get transit right to the apartment because of all the narrow streets but it is very scenic and easy to walk.
This was our best place we stayed on our vacation. The apartment (apartment O), was on the second floor and huge, with 2 bathrooms, large bedroom and huge living/sitting room. All needed kitchen supplies were included and Elena gave us everything we needed. The furniture is modern and the decor is elegant. The 7 Juliette balconies gave great views of the active street scene below, but there was no noise inside when all were closed.
We used the pool everyday and enjoyed the views from the rooftop deck while swimming and relaxing. The price was higher than most places we stayed but it was worth it!
The place is a bit hard to find, but Google maps can get you there. Once there, you have everything within a 5 minute walk - cathedral, Alcazar, hundreds of restaurants, shops, etc. Only 10-15 minute walk to bus station, a bit farther to train station. You can't beat this place. Elena has a few apartments in the building and I am sure all are as good.
This apartment was ideal for a visit to Seville. It was located very near the Cathedral and the Alcazar. There were many good restaurants nearby. The swimming pool was an excellent addition as we went there after a day of sightseeing. Elena was a wonderful host and helped us with many arrangements. The apartment was clean and had all needed amenities.
I would recommend this apartment anytime. It was even more than what we expected. Thank you very much Elena. My wife and two kids (11 and 13) truly enjoyed the apartment, the location (walking distance to everything) and the area with all the restaurants and boutiques. Not to forget the cathedral less than five minutes walking.
Best location in Town. Next to LA GIRALDA, the most important building in the city. In the middle of the center of Seville, Very well located, surrounded by as many tapas bars and restaurants. Near the old Jewish Quarter. 5 min walking to the river and the bullring. Easy to connect with every part of the city.

I have a Strada that I am modding up...and looking @handgaurds...touratech says that the bars are different between the two bikes. I looked pretty hard and didn't see any difference. What say you? I reckon I could be wrong. Would not be the first time.

Thanks for the heads-up, TB. Good to know. I've not had any problems with them before, but I also cut my exposed wire ends short ..leaving them well inside the housings. Very easy for me to add silicone grease to the few I have used. I'm going to do that. Beeeeautiful bike, BTW.

My hands are frozen...can you help me?
Probably not…..go see a Doctor.
BUT, I hear an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So, installing heated grips might work in your favor.
And yes, it can be done on the cheap. You don't need high dollar, self-contained, gold-wire electrodes to do the trick. Though, I'll happily use such nice appurtenances would they be available. For me, on the Terra, I'd be breaking the Rules….since I already had a cheap pair of these Trackside wrap-on heat panels sitting in my drawer for I don't know how long. Bought them many moons ago during one of Cyclegear's close-out blow-out sales. Normally retail for a whopping $34.99, I snatched them for half-price (only $17.50).
Sure they will work! Especially with this unique (Beemer'esq) plastic handguard tube on the left side.
Very cool that Husky decided to use these tubes over the bars……if only for the very purpose of adding heated panels. I can think of no other valid reason. So now, the metal bar won't suck the heat away on the left handgrip, like my KLR did (Long Live Pig). That's the biggest advantage high-dollar heated grip systems usually have....they come pre-mounted on plastic tubes which slide onto the bar. However, the Terra already has them in place.
If you've never used these wrap-arounds before and want to try a cheap easy solution, give it a go. Piece of cake to discard if you don't like them (but I think you will).
Remove the old grips and clean up the housings. Next, peel the backing off the sticky side and wrap it around the bar (plastic housing) in a position that makes sense. You don't want any stress on the wire connections under the grip. So, think it thru on the throttle side where its in a good position to allow a stress-free rotation as you turn the throttle.
Then, I add a piece of black electrical tape to both ends to help keep it in place while I'm installing the grips (usually a tight squeeze). This also helps reduce stress on the wire connections to the panels, which can be rather brittle. Don't forget…..they were CHEAP. So, extra precautions are needed for longevity-sake.
Proceed to your grip box to make a selection. What's that? What do you mean you don't have a "grip box"? What on earth have you been doing when Cyclegear has a super duper close-out blow-out sale? Heck, I buy stuff I may never need….but might….someday....maybe....because. Would that qualify as an addiction?
BUT, at least I have grips to pick from today, without breaking the Rules. See Sweet Thang, I told you these would come in handy on my next motorcycle someday!
*****Edit 1/23/13******************
Forgot to mention you need two sets of grips to do this as shown. With plastic tubes on both sides, you'll need to use a throttle grip with the larger internal diameter on both sides. The standard smaller ID left-hand grip will not slide onto the plastic tubing (at least not easily) without mangling your heat panels.
Hhhhmmmm….I seem to be missing Grip Install Photos in my selection. Oh well, you know how to do that. Except I do spray a little 3M Spray Adhesive lightly over the top of the heated panels just seconds before sliding on the grip. Momma's hairspray could work well, also. It does two things. Lubricates the material very briefly which aids the sliding on of the grip. And then, some degree of adhesion to help prevent the grip from breaking free or sliding loose later.
Two things I hate on a motorcycle and simply won't stand for: 1) worn out grips…..hard, smooth, tattered & torn 2) a loose grip…..twists & slides on bar. Nope, just can't have that. Your LIFE often depends upon your controllability factor, and that is hugely affected by the gripping action. Just saying.
So yeah, I change grips often. Personally, I prefer a soft tacky grip that is easy to hang on to without having to death grip the bars. That's the number one cause of forearm pump. Most everyone I see squeezes their hands too tightly. Not sure if its just habit, anxiety, or fear. If you want to ride better, loosen up your grip so you can start feeling the feedback. But I digress…..
Check this out:
A single cable throttle housing! That's fantastic (IMO). I get tired of messing with double cable throttles. They can be a real PITA sometimes. Thanks Husky!
I like my throttles to work super smoothly. Don't want to feel any resistance in the throttle tube when I'm twisting it. Hate friction spots. Told you I was picky.
Here's my secret, and it has worked flawlessly for me over the past 30 years (under hardcore competition).
Scotchbrite that bar until its as smooth as a baby's butt. Then, spray some Teflon Grease on the bar and into the throttle tube….working it on/off a bit to spread it around good.
If I ever feel grit getting under the tube, I simply remove it at the next convenient opportunity, clean it up, & repeat the process. You'll be amazed how well you can feel what the rear tire is doing when you have a friction free throttle action. Its like having the rear tire in the palm of your right hand.
Consider this the bonus section. I just threw it in for good measure, because I've been asked many times by other riders how I make my throttle feel so smooth. The white lithium, teflon grease stays pretty consistently smooth thru a wide range of temperature. Doesn't get tacky and/or stiff when temps get cold. I like it.
Next up…..we'll strip her clothes off so we can admire her naked. Then, pull some wires and power-up the Fuzeblock.
I will add that she is rather modest, at first. That plastic is pretty tricky to get off....first time around.
p.s. things are about to heat up!

Thanks for the kind comments, Mario. Glad you find it useful.
The missing grip photos:
I really like these Progrip Superbike - gel touch (sometimes labeled "soft touch"). They've become my #1 choice for Dualsporting. The double layer design helps reduce vibration (which is a mute point on the Terra). Plus, they are super comfy and easy to hang on to. They also seem to last a good long while….longer than others I've tried.
AND they come with open ends which is great for handguard attachments. The one downside is they are not the best choice if using a Throttle Rocker (Grip Buster)…..one of those throttle aids which you rest your palm on and can spin around the throttle to reposition. Those things snag on the little die-cut holes, causing the top layer to tear (if you're not real careful). With the Kaoko cruise lock, I don't really need a Throttle Rocker anymore so its not an issue for me.
Look closely and you'll see I have slid heat-shrink tubing over the heat panel wires. I use 3/16" tubing, and it works very well to stiffen and protect the small wires which are routed into the headlight assembly (which you'll see later). This is good protection since the wires will be moving back and forth a lot during handlebar turning.
Black electrical tape is an alternative, if you don't have any heat-shrink tubing available. Once upon a time, I used tape. Now, I like heat-shrink much better.
Here is another photo of the heat-shrink tube over the heated grip wires (on the left side). I'll run it full length, then trim back as needed.
You will also see that I support the wires under the bar with a loose fitted cable-tie. This maintains proper routing while letting it turn easily with the throttle action, and not fatiguing the wire. Zipping the wire tightly to the bar this close to the throttle will cause a stress point that eventually breaks the wire.
Good decisions come from knowledge,
Knowledge comes from experience,
Experience comes from bad decisions.
Ask me how I know!
p.s. on 2nd thought.....don't ask.

How do I remove the plastic panels?
Caution: Bike Porn ahead. Must be at least 21 yrs. old to view Naked Photos....you've been warned.
Removing the big plastic side covers seemed simple enough, but it wasn't. After finding and removing all the bolts, nothing happened. And for some considerable time, I pondered what was still holding it in place so firmly. I mean, you don't want to force it and break the plastic. Quite puzzling it was, like working on a Rubics Cube.
BUT I finally discovered the secret code to unlock the combination, and she dropped her sexy nightgown with a smile.
That was the easy part. Now comes the contentious part mind boggling for me. But easy peasy for you.
You must start the separation process on the front tip. The bolting frame is a snap fit of sorts and must be carefully pried apart.
Take hold of it and lift the panel upward and a bit outward from the front
Until you can clear the angled tabs from their slot at the rear
You can't see it (yet) in this photo, but the rear most tab has a longer hook shape than the other two (which just point downward).
Essentially same process on the other side:
Next, remove the smaller black "Husqvarna" panels. Pretty straight forward with a couple bolts, then a push-pin at the bottom which stabs into a grommet on the radiator:
I've read elsewhere that people think this is a radiator mounting point. Quite the opposite, a you can see. Nothing more than a plastic mount. Their are three firm radiator mounts that I will show you later.
Finally, there is one more plastic shroud covering the front. Several bolts which are easily accessed around the perimeter.
Kind of tricky to pull out .but its quite flexible and you can get a little rough with it.
However, its a bit SPOOKY when you are holding it in your hand. Rotate it around and you get this:
Holy smokes Darth Vader!
Next up: pulling the wires. There's plenty of space.

Power Up!
Time to power up the accessories. I want separate electrical circuits for GPS, Heated Grips, Heated Vest, and auxiliary LED Lights. So, I'm going to run four sets of Positive/Negative wires from the nose to the tail….more or less.
You can pull them as individual wires, or do this instead:
Its real simple to make your own wire harness using shrink-tubing. Keeps the wires organized, protected, and rather professional looking. I had some 5/16" tubing on hand, so I used that of course. I was able to pull two sets of leads thru it, then shrink it down with my heat gun real nice, tight, & smooth.
I found a nice protected slot along the frame rail, and temporarily pulled a white wire thru there just for a photo so the route can be seen.
Now, I have replaced the white wire with my actual harness:
Here's the new harness snaking past the head-stop...
….and out the headlight assembly.
Lots of room in here to work and pack stuff. Actually, the most amount of free space I think I've ever enjoyed in this area. Just perfect for what we need to do!
Notice I have drilled a hole into the side of the headlight box. This is where I'm putting the toggle switch for the heated grips.
Great spot, I think. I set the switch position sideways instead of vertical, so that I can pull it toward me to engage on High.
Mounted the Resistor (for the Low circuit) right here against the metal brace…..where its clear from touching any plastic.
That Resistor gets mighty hot when you have the grips on the Low setting. So, you really have to be carefully where you put it. I think the large surface area of the metal will serve nicely to dissipate the heat quickly, but will definitely keep an eye on things. Its always a pickle sorting out where to put this resistor on every bike. The Terra made it easy (I hope). But, I don't use the Low setting very much either…..FWIW.
With all the extra room in this box, I decided to try using the Posi-locks for my connections.
This will let me replace the heated grip panels easier in the future, should the need arise during a grip change. After all, they are pretty cheap devices…..but did serve me long & well on my KLR & WRR bikes. I can always change later to direct solder + heatshrink tubing, if necessary. That's real easy to do right here up front.
There are two wires coming from each heat panel. They are not designated + or -. Just make sure you connect one wire from each grip onto the positive line (my new red wire) and the remaining wire from each grip onto the negative line (my new black wire). To keep track of my black wires on the other end of my harness, I simply wrapped a small piece of silver duck tape around one of them on each end……so I'd know which I'm using for which device.
I'm using my new yellow (positive) wire for my GPS power. I like to use an SAE plug with a weather cap which I can just zip-tie right to my clutch cable near the GPS. I simply buy an extra Battery Tender connection wire and cut off a short lead to splice in. You can see it here, right behind the Ram-ball:
This line is also convenient for use as a phone charging circuit to my tank bag. I have a splitter to put on the line when needed.
Time to energize the circuits!
I decided to use a super fancy "Fuzeblock" for my power distribution because I've always wanted to.
AND because I wanted to make BigDog jealous. Also….maybe because it was already sitting in my toolbox drawer (never having been used).
I was a little worried it might be too big for any space I could find, even though it fits in the palm of your hand. But no worries, I found the absolute perfect place. How convenient is this? I attached it to the battery wall with an adhesive strip of Velcro.
The Fuzeblock is really cool…..as it contains a built in contact relay plus well organized wire lugs that are essentially foolproof, unless you wear a blindfold when installing. It made so much sense, that I didn't even need to read any instructions. Everything is stamped right onto the device very clearly. Here it is under construction:
You just line up your matching positive and negative wires across from each other (on the same fuse circuit). Now then, you can move the mini-fuse left or right one position to make it be a "Switched Circuit" or a "Full-time Circuit". A Switched Circuit will only receive power when you turn on the key…..and lose it when you turn off. I setup my heated grips and heated vest plug (which I've not shown yet) on switched circuit mode. And, I set the GPS line to be powered all the time.
You only need to run an additional wire from the top of the Fuzeblock to a switched power source. I tapped into the tail-light wire like this:
Use the white & green wire……trust me. I proved it by process of elimination.
Here it is all neat & tidy at completion:
Room for 6 total circuits…..what more could you need?
Forgot to mention....make sure you add a 30 amp Main Fuse in the Positive power feed between the battery and the Fuzeblock!
Here are the fuses I used on each active circuit:
3 amp = GPS
5 amp = Heated Grips
10 amp = Heated Riding Gear (vest, gloves, etc)
You may notice the blue wires rolled up. I ran those lines for auxiliary lights which I plan to add in the future. Pulled them along the right side frame rail, same route as the others on the left. Again, plenty of room for 18 gauge wire….which is what I use for GPS, heated grips, and LED lights. I will hook those wires up later, when I install lights. Haven't decided what to use yet, and I don't have any laying around the bone pile.
I did pull one more set of heavier gauge wires along the left side (same route) for my Heated Riding Gear (Vest & Gloves). I used 16 gauge wire for this particular line.
Once again, I prefer an SAE plug for this connection and established a special place for it exactly where I wanted it:
Yes….I drilled a hole in my purdee plastic!
I'm not skeered to do that. I like putting things in the perfect place for me.
Its a weatherproof tight connection (another Battery Tender line cut up….spares only cost about $7 at Cyclegear)….right next to my tankbag. I have a piece of velcro on my tankbags to stick my Thermostat on, which keeps it handy right in front of me.
Best of all….everything works GREAT!
p.s. Fuzeblock purchased from "Cyclenutz". Good folks.
p.s.s.s.s IF I Can Do This....You Can Do It Too.

I give up. What's the difference between shoulder press, neck press and military press? Does it matter? Which is best?
I give up. What's the difference between shoulder press, neck press and military press? Does it matter? Which is best?
u can find the differences here:
military press:
shoulder press:
neck press:
military requires balance, and might put unnecessary stress on ur back.
anything behind the neck tends to force ur neck forward and some say might be harmful to ur spine (and cause injury)
shoulder press is well recommended, with db or a bar.

I recently went to see a back specialist and he told me that if i had to do a shoulder press, that I should do it standing up(military press) since he said that places less stress on the back, cuz the legs offer some measure of support..so I've been doing that instead of the seated ones..is what the doc said true or are the seated ones better for the back?
I've read that behind the neck presses put unnecessary stress on the shoulders.
The picture geoff posted is correct. What the people at your school do is just a partial range of motion bench press, the only purpose of which would be to get past a sticking point or inflate one's ego.Originally Posted by superior_will
I would have thought the seated ones would put less pressure on the back, and from experience that's what it seems to be for me.Originally Posted by bc2004
That's true, depends on how good your shoulders/rotator cuffs are though. Many people can do them without any problem, and others cringe just at the sight of the movement.Originally Posted by Spartan936
So the only difference between shoulder press and military press is that you are standing for the military press. I'm sure I've heard people talking of doing seated militaries, are they just doing a shoulder press like in the video?

The term pedophilia denotes the erotic preference for prepubescent children. The term hebephilia has been proposed to denote the erotic preference for pubescent children (roughly, ages 11 or 12–14), but it has not become widely used. The present study sought to validate the concept of hebephilia by examining the agreement between self-reported sexual interests and objectively recorded penile responses in the laboratory. The participants were 881 men who were referred for clinical assessment because of paraphilic, criminal, or otherwise problematic sexual behavior. Within-group comparisons showed that men who verbally reported maximum sexual attraction to pubescent children had greater penile responses to depictions of pubescent children than to depictions of younger or older persons. Between-groups comparisons showed that penile responding distinguished such men from those who reported maximum attraction to prepubescent children and from those who reported maximum attraction to fully grown persons. These results indicated that hebephilia exists as a discriminable erotic age-preference. The authors recommend various ways in which the DSM might be altered to accommodate the present findings. One possibility would be to replace the diagnosis of Pedophilia with Pedohebephilia and allow the clinician to specify one of three subtypes: Sexually Attracted to Children Younger than 11 (Pedophilic Type), Sexually Attracted to Children Age 11–14 (Hebephilic Type), or Sexually Attracted to Both (Pedohebephilic Type). We further recommend that the DSM-V encourage users to record the typical age of children who most attract the patient sexually as well as the gender of children who most attract the patient sexually.

Singapore March exports seen down amid China slowdown
Published on Apr 15, 2014 5:05 PM
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore's non-oil domestic exports are expected to have fallen in March, a Reuters poll showed on Tuesday, amid a sluggish Chinese economy and slower growth in the city-state's manufacturing activity.
Non-oil domestic exports probably fell 0.8 per cent in March from a year earlier, according to the median forecast in the survey of 12 economists.
On a month-on-month, seasonally adjusted basis, non-oil domestic exports are forecast to have declined 1.6 per cent.
The data is due out on Thursday at 0030 GMT.

Muslim groups urge mosque rights for women
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Leading Islamic groups in North Americaare telling their followers that it's time to make mosques moreopen to women, to return to an equality that marked the originsof the faith.
"There are confirmed reports that many mosques relegatewomen to small, dingy, secluded, airless and segregatedquarters with their children," states a booklet publishedonline and being distributed to mosques.
"Some mosques in the United States and Canada actuallyprevent women from entering," it adds.
The booklet suggests women should be allowed to pray withmen in the main hall of a mosque in a designated area that isnot partitioned off and be given a safe and appropriateentrance to the buildings. It also suggests that at least twowomen be on every mosque governing board.
"I think it will be debated fairly vigorously," said IngridMattson, a vice president of the Islamic Society of NorthAmerica, one of the groups that has endorsed the booklet. Theothers are the Islamic Circle of North America, MuslimAssociations of Canada, Council on American IslamicRelations-Canada and Muslim Alliance in North America.
Together those groups "represent the mainstream observantMuslims in North America," Mattson said. "That's really goodnews for the kind of ideas we're trying to promote."
A recent survey found that two-thirds of U.S. mosquesconfine women behind a curtain or in another room duringprayers on Friday, the Muslim holy day. It also found thatthree-quarters of all regular worshipers were men and a thirdof mosques do not permit women on governing boards.
And because women must use a separate entrance from men itis often one that is a dingy afterthought, it found.
The debate over women's rights in Islam is complex. Whilesome Muslim women in America are fighting to gain seats onmosque governing boards and for the removal of barriers inprayer halls, not all agree. Many women feel comfortable with abarrier — whether it be a curtain or wall — because it offersprivacy during prayer.
Some religious scholars argue that the separation is notbased in the origins of Islam, or its traditions. Muslim menand women pray together in Saudi Arabia each year during theannual pilgrimage in Mecca, one of the five duties Muslims mustfulfill during their lifetime.
As the controversy in Western societies has become moreheated over women's rights, learned Islamic theologians haveissued fatwas on the matter. Many oppose ending the separationbetween men and women that has become common in prayer roomsinside Western mosques.
Many of the world's religions face debate over the positionof women, such as whether Roman Catholicism should allow femalepriests or the role of females in worship in Orthodox Judaism,where women are also separated from men during services.
Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council onAmerican-Islamic Relations, the Washington-based lobbying groupthat published the booklet and is distributing it, said womenshould be able to use the publication to force changes.
Written by the Islamic Social Services Associations Inc.and Women in Islam Inc., the booklet repeatedly quotes theKoran on women's rights and says that at the time of theProphet Mohammad mosques were a center of community life where"all were welcome."
Mattson, who teaches at Hartford Seminary in Connecticut,said it is rare for women in India and Pakistan to enter amosque but common in much of the Arab world. Because Muslims inNorth Americas come from so many different ethnic backgrounds,she added, "there has been a lot of controversy on how theyshould be divided and the place of women."
Asra Nomani, a U.S. author and journalist who incurred thewrath of many Muslim leaders earlier this year when sheorganized a prayer service led by a woman, said the booklet is"revolutionary" and "an example of how America can be a shininglight to the rest off the Muslim world."
Hesham Hassballa, a spokesman for the Council of IslamicOrganizations of Greater Chicago, said "I welcome the change… you cannot be a healthy community with women excluded."
Hooper's group says there are about 7 million Muslims inthe United States, 2 to 3 percent of the population, thoughother estimates have placed the figure lower.
The booklet may be found on-line in two sections athttp:/www.cair-net.org/pdf/intro.pdf andhttp:/www.cair-net.org/pdf/text.pdf.

GOP leader says give Obama new debt limit powers
WASHINGTON With compromise talks at a vituperative standstill, Senate Republicans unexpectedly offered Tuesday to hand President Barack Obama new powers to avert a first-ever government default threatened for Aug. 2.
Under a proposal outlined by Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Obama could request - and likely secure - increases of up to $2.5 trillion in the government's borrowing authority in three separate installments over the next year, as long as he simultaneously proposed spending cuts of greater size.
The debt limit increases would take effect unless blocked by Congress under special rules that would require speedy action - and even then Obama could exercise his authority to veto such legislation. Significantly, the president's spending cuts would be debated under normal procedures, with no guarantee they ever come to a final vote.
McConnell made his proposal public a few hours before Obama presided over his third meeting in as many days with congressional leaders searching for a way to avoid a default and possible financial crisis.
Democratic officials who participated in the session said Obama did not reject the Senate Republican leader's suggestion, but stressed it was not his preferred approach. A statement issued later in press secretary Jay Carney's name said the president "continues to believe that our focus must remain on seizing this unique opportunity to come to agreement on significant, balanced deficit reduction."
Other officials said participants at the meeting spent part of the time reviewing proposed spending cuts that were made by both sides during several weeks of negotiations led by Vice President Joe Biden, suggesting that negotiators had not given up on a deal to cut deficits.
There was little or no dispute among senior officials about the importance of avoiding default.
In an interview on CBS taped before the meeting, Obama said that without a deal to raise the debt limit, he could not guarantee that Social Security checks will be issued on Aug. 3 "because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it."
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, interviewed on Fox News, pointed to turmoil rippling across Europe as evidence of what might happen if the United States defaults on its obligations.
In essence, McConnell's proposal would greatly enhance Obama's authority to avoid a default, while also virtually absolving Republicans of responsibility if one occurred.
At the same time, it would allow Republican lawmakers to avoid having to support an increase in the debt limit, something many of them find odious.
"Republicans will choose a path that actually reflects the will of the people, which is to do the responsible thing and ensure the government doesn't default on its obligations," McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor. He also excoriated the administration for seeking tax increases along with spending cuts as part of an agreement to raise the debt limit, adding that as long as Obama is president "a real solution is unattainable."
Boehner praised McConnell for doing "good work" with his recommendation but did not endorse it.

US judge strikes down patent on cancer genes
"It will open the door to truly competitive testing. It will allow the science to drive the field instead of the monopolistic approach that has dominated," she said.
Patenting a gene "makes no sense," King said. "It's like patenting one's thumb."
Testing for mutations in the so-called BRCA genes has been around for just over a decade. Women with a faulty gene have a three to seven times greater risk of developing breast cancer and a higher risk of ovarian cancer.
Men can also carry a BRCA mutation, raising their risk of prostate, pancreatic and other types of cancer. The mutations are most common in people of eastern European Jewish descent.
Myriad Genetics Inc. sells the only BRCA gene test, which one expert says now costs nearly $4,000.
"There are some women without insurance coverage who are not able to pay that," and have not been able to be tested, said Dr. Kelly Marcom, a breast oncologist who runs Duke University's Hereditary Cancer Clinic.
Some doctors and researchers contend that this monopoly has long held up not only competing, cheaper tests but has also hindered gene-based research.
Barbara Caulfield, a former federal judge now a patent attorney in private practice, wrote a friend-of-the-court brief for the March of Dimes arguing against the patents. She said the ruling, if let to stand, will have more of an effect on companies that market tests rather than on drug-makers, which hold patents on biotechnology "methods" that underpin their products.
"This is going to open up competition among test makers and researchers," said Caulfield, who also served as general counsel of biotechnology company Affymetrix Inc., based in Santa Clara, Calif., before joining the law firm of Dewey & LeBoeuf.
"Among other things, this is going to speed up genetic mutation research," she said.
"The evidence has mounted that human gene patents are doing more harm than good," and resulted more by accident than a well-thought-out policy, said Jesse Reynolds, a policy analyst at the Center for Genetics and Society. The center is a nonprofit policy research group advocating for oversight and responsible use of biotechnologies.
The Myriad patent "was particularly troublesome" because it was so broadly worded, Reynolds said.
Reading the court ruling, "I saw nothing that limited it to Myriad's patents," Reynolds said. It boiled down to this, he said: "Natural things aren't patentable; inventions are."
"This has the potential to dramatically shake up the biotech industry," Reynolds said.

Blago adviser gets 10 1/2 years, minus time served
CHICAGO A former top fundraiser for ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose trial exposed Illinois' pay-to-play political culture, was sentenced Tuesday to 10 1/2 years in prison. He will get credit for time he has already served.
Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a former Chicago real estate developer and fast-food entrepreneur, has been in custody for 3 1/2 years while awaiting sentencing.
Rezko's attorneys had asked U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve to set him free, arguing that he already has served more time than others who were convicted as part of the federal investigation of Blagojevich have or are expected to.
But St. Eve told Rezko in court that his "selfish and corrupt actions" had damaged the trust people have in their government.
"You defrauded the people of Illinois, you engaged in extensive corruption throughout the state of Illinois," the judge said.
Rezko appeared gaunt, his ankles shackled. He showed no initial reaction when the sentence was handed down, but several relatives began crying.
Prosecutors had asked that Rezko receive a prison term of between 11 and 15 years.
Rezko was convicted in 2008 of fraud, money laundering and plotting to squeeze $7 million in kickbacks from firms that wanted to do business with the state during Blagojevich's tenure. The governor was arrested six months later and convicted this year on charges that included trying to sell or trade an appointment to President Barack Obama's old Senate seat. He is set to be sentenced next month and is expected to get about 10 years.
The 56-year-old Rezko also was a political fundraiser for Obama during his campaigns for Illinois senator, though not for his presidential campaign. Obama has not been accused of wrongdoing in the case, but his relationship with Rezko became an issue during the 2008 election.
Rezko's sentencing was delayed after he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors investigating Blagojevich and others. He also offered to testify at the corruption trials of Blagojevich and millionaire businessman William Cellini, who was convicted Nov. 1 of conspiring with Rezko and others to shake down the Oscar-winning producer of "Million Dollar Baby."
But the government said he ultimately did not yield any useful information, and prosecutors said they eventually concluded Rezko's persistent lies long after he was charged would have made him a vulnerable, ineffective witness.
The judge agreed with prosecutors.
"It was your own actions which decreased your value as a witness for the government," St. Eve told Rezko in court on Tuesday.
In court papers, Rezko's lawyers offered a picture of the Syrian immigrant as an eager philanthropist who was "shocked" by Blagojevich's proposed brainstorming on ways to profit from his gubernatorial decisions.
Prosecutors, though, said Rezko often took the initiative and described him standing before the then-governor and other confidants at an office chalkboard, diagramming various scams.
During Rezko's nine-week trial, prosecutors said he raised over $1 million for Blagojevich and got so much clout in return he could control two powerful state boards. They accused him of plotting with admitted political fixer Stuart Levine to squeeze payoffs from money management firms that sought to invest the assets of the $40 billion state Teachers Retirement System and said he plotted with Levine to get a $1.5 million bribe from a contractor who sought state approval to build a hospital.

OER Mechanism Development and Optimization of the Air Electrode for Lithium-Air Batteries
Lithium-air batteries use a new battery chemistry that has a theoretical energy density 4-6 times higher than conventional lithium-ion batteries. This dramatic increase in energy density will enable a new generation of electric vehicles and portable devices with greater range and lower weights. These batteries operate by reacting metallic lithium with oxygen from the atmosphere, forming solid lithium peroxide within the air electrode of the battery. Several significant obstacles remain that prevent practical application of lithium-air batteries. One is the significant overpotential required to recharge the battery (the oxygen evolution reaction, or OER), which has been reported as high as 1.5 V. As the equilibrium potential is only 2.9 V, more than 50% extra energy is wasted during such recharge cycles. Several catalysts have been shown to reduce this overpotential, but the reaction is poorly understood, as is the manner in which these catalysts reduce overpotential.
Thesis aims are:
Aim 1: Develop a methodology of quantitatively determining OER activity, and examine that activity across a variety of catalysts.
Aim 2: Develop a proposed reaction mechanism for OER of in lithium air batteries.
Aim 3: Construct an air-electrode that optimizes power and energy density while improving OER efficiency.
