Fire kills 8 at Russian drug rehab centre: investigators
Published on Apr 28, 2014 2:03 AM
MOSCOW (AFP) - Eight people were killed on Sunday when a fire ravaged a drug rehab centre in Russia's Altai region, investigators said, raising fresh questions about security standards in the country's medical facilities.
Their bodies were found after authorities put out the blaze in a private drug rehab centre, dubbed "Chisty List" (Clean Slate) which overlooks a picturesque lake near Barnaul, investigators said in a statement.
Another six people from the private drug and alcohol abuse treatment centre were injured as the fire ripped through the building, said regional emergencies ministry spokesman Andrei Pozdnyakov.
"Only the walls remained," Mr Pozdnyakov said, adding that the rest of the patients have been moved into a local school.

Recent Central Coast reviews
"My two year old son, close friend and myself had a great stay at this very comfortable home in Pacific Grove. The house is incredibly well set-up for young children. There were toys and a coloring table that my son enjoyed playing at. Everything is close by: the beach, restaurants, shops and the Aquarium. There was a nice playground within walking distance and the 2 free passes to the Aquarium came in handy. We love staying in Pacific Grove because of its proximity to Monterey and Carmel. We've stayed at a few other places in the past but would absolutely stay at this charming, clean, well-maintained house again. Centrally located, yet quiet and easy access to all beaches, it's the perfect getaway!"Guest: LLP Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: May 7, 2015View listing
"This historic cute bungalow is located a walk from the beach and a very nice part of town. My wife myself in our three kids stayed here for four days and loved it. The house has everything you need to stay at night you can hear the waves break in the bay. It's an easy walk to most everything you need to go to. We definitely plan i'm staying at this location again."Guest: Kenneth G. Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 26, 2015View listing
"As the title suggests, and as somebody else mentioned, the house is even better than portrayed in the photographs. We rented both the main house and the cottage over Christmas 2014 for an extended family Christmas get-together (10 people). Never once did we feel cramped in the house. The house is very well-appointed with a well-stocked kitchen. The private stairs to the beach were a really nice plus. They were safe enough where Grandma (75+) felt comfortable walking down on her own. Just in front of the house, is a giant rock that juts out of the water. It is accessible during high tide and is a great place to watch sunsets. The beach is long and very walkable. We would definitely come here again."Guest: C J.

"Fantastic getaway that's off the beaten path. Clean, friendly and just the right spot for our honeymoon. The quaint valley is packed with charming shops and incredible restaurants. Thank you And Desiree is wonderful"Guest: Stb Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 22, 2015View listing
Central Coast Travel Tips
The Central Coast of California spans for hundreds of miles between Monterey Bay and Point Mugu, from just northwest of Los Angeles County and south of San Francisco and San Mateo counties.
Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo is credited with discovering the Central Coast following his landing in Santa Barbara County in 1542 after sailing from the south. America's first motel is located in San Louis Obispo and you can catch a glimpse of the rugged California shore when you travel through the coastal communities of Big Sur, Morro Bay and San Simeon.
Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz is home to Natural Bridges State Beach, redwood forests and a moderate climate. The city was settled in 1791 and chartered in 1866 after the Mexican-American War when California became a state. An earthquake destroyed much of the city's downtown buildings in 1989. Since reconstruction, downtown Santa Cruz has become a bustling center for shopping, dining and attractions.
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is a popular maritime destination for visitors. The boardwalk's Neptune Kingdom features mini golf, an arcade, pool tables and laser tag. There are boardwalk rides for everyone in the family including the Giant Dipper and Bulgy the Whale - in fact, more than 60 million people have gone on the Giant Dipper roller coaster that opened in 1924. Another favorite attraction on the boardwalk is the 1911 Looff Carousel. This National Historic Landmark is a hand-carved merry-go-round that boasts a Ruth and Sohn band organ as well as a Wurlitzer 146.
Natural Bridges State Beach is famous for its natural bridge as well as ideal conditions for migratory whale, otter and seal watching. When you visit the beach you'll see sea stars, crabs and other ocean life during low tide. Also in the park is a large area of wildflowers that blossom in the spring, and Moore Creek creates freshwater wetlands and a salt marsh. Natural Bridges State Beach is also home to the Monarch Butterfly Natural Preserve - during the winter months, up to 100,000 monarchs find refuge here.
Pacific Grove
Pacific Grove can be found between Point Pinos and Monterey. It's often referred to as one of America's last hometowns and known for its Victorian homes. There's a massive annual migration of monarch butterflies that makes its way through the city each year.
Asilomar State Beach is located on the Monterey Peninsula. Visitors to the beach can access coastal trails and the nearby Asilomar Dunes Natural Preserve. Asilomar State Beach is a one-mile strip of sandy shores and rocky coves with a ¾-mile walking trail. All marine animals and features at the beach are protected. There's a boardwalk at the beach that houses a number of buildings and halls, including a cafe for you to enjoy a cup of coffee and a gift shop to pick up a book to sit by the water and read.
[http://www.pointpinoslighthouse.org/ The Point Pinos Lighthouse] was lit in 1855 and remains a Coast Guard navigational aid today, making it the oldest active lighthouse in the state. The first lighthouse keep at Point Pinos was Charles Layton and after he died in 1855, Charlotte Layton became the first female lighthouse keeper on the West Coast. When you visit Point Pinos Lighthouse you can take a tour of the historic site and learn more about what is was like for lighthouse keepers who were in charge of ensuring the light was lit as well as the lighthouse's progression through history.
Carmel-by-the-Sea is a top destination in the U.S. and nestled above a white-sand beach. Everything in the city is within walking distance so you won't have any trouble navigating the streets to find hundreds of shops, restaurants, wine tastings and art galleries.
[http://aquariumofthebay.org The Monterey Bay Aquarium] sees nearly 2 million visitors each year. There are more than 600 species of animals on display, and thanks to its location near the water, the aquarium can enjoy a high circulation of fresh ocean water. There's a massive tank for viewing California coastal marine life which is also the first in the world to grow live California giant kelp. Sea life at the aquarium includes stingrays, jellyfish, sea otters as well as bluefin and yellowfin tuna. The penguins in the Splash Zone exhibit are a favorite among families visiting the aquarium and the zone houses African Black-Footed penguins.
Point Lobos State Reserve features Cypress forest, hidden coves, beaches and overlooks where you can catch a glimpse of the Pacific Ocean. At Point Lobos you'll find one of the richest underwater habitats in the world, making it a favorite spot among divers. However, seals, sea lions and sea otters can be found swimming through the waters here, too. Scuba and free diving are popular activities among visitors to the reserve. Other favorite things to do at Point Lobos include sightseeing, photography and jogging. There are unique geological formations and endangered archeological sites that you won't see anywhere else.

Property Details
House, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Baths, 6 Sleeps
A little bit of history made comfortable
Seventy five years ago it was the Camano Beach Resort store serving
vacationers and local fishermen. Now, it is a recently updated two
bedroom beach cabin on the West side of Camano Island, set aside for
the pleasure of those seeking the relaxation of a beach experience.
The Camano Cabin has a private beach and a newly installed rock
bulkhead. The cabin itself sits back about thirty seconds from the
beach on two acres with a year around stream. Come and enjoy
spectacular sunsets from the yard overlooking the beach, or simply
take a relaxing walk and collect a few shells.
The Cabin's master bedroom has a King size bed, and Day bed with a
pull out twin trundle. The second bedroom has a Full size bed, and
there is also a queen sofa bed in the living room.
Come and spend the day on the beach or enjoy the fire pit with a glass
of wine or a few smores in the evening. The Camano Beach cabin is
perfect for summer time activities or quiet winter relaxation. It's a
great place for a family or friends to get away from it all.

Beautiful Cabin with a beautiful view!
Unplug and Unwind
The photos don't do it justice; the place is much larger than it appears and is incredibly comfortable and well-decorated. (Think Ralph Lauren beach home) The beds were very comfortable, the linens were high quality, and we had everything that we needed. Don't be afraid to unplug--there is no cable or internet and it was wonderful to truly get away from it all. Our tech-loving 8 year old son even agreed that no internet or cable was a nice change of pace.
The grill located beach front is where we cooked every meal and the fire pit is where we made every dessert. Best S'mores ever. (The view made that possible!) Beach combing was fantastic, the location is very private and quiet...You will not regret your stay. Also, the owner was very helpful with everything.
We can't wait to return.
Great spot to Explore the Island
Anyway, we primarily came for the crabbing so we didn't really utilize this property to it's full potential.
The house isn't directly on the ocean side of the street. The ocean is across the private drive (used by others in the area) and through a gate and you are on the other piece of property that IS on the ocean. Not a big deal but you can't see the ocean from the front as the hedge blocks the view.
The little piece of property was wonderful, it is marked by a split rail fence (these are private beach access points) so you have your own "place". There is a very nice table with an umbrella for your use as well as a great fire pit. There are extra chairs and lounges in the laundry room available as well. The actual property that the house sits on is very nice. Huge shade trees, tons of blackberry bushes (yum!) and a small creek that runs through the property. It would be a very nice area for dogs or kids to play.
There is a boat launch that we were told was available for use but it's not been cleared of debris for a while. It could be used to a small, row boat or soft boat. Our neighbors put in and dropped crab pots from that launch.
The house is entirely floored in a laminate so it can be a bit loud; some throw rugs or runners would help with that. I can see why they went with the laminate as it's really easy to keep clean as we (and the dog) brought in unintentional sand. :)
We were two couples so the other couple had to share a double bed which was cozy. We got the King bed in a huge Master bedroom. Very comfy.
We did a dinner for 8 one of the days for family and really appreciated the full kitchen and all of the "extras". Large bowls, crab crackers etc...
All in all we had a great time and look forward to returning.
Wonderful Place to Escape

the traffic flow. The island itself is reached via bridge from
Stanwood, so no need to worry about ferries.

In case you forget something, the Camano Plaza is adjacent to the golf

I was so very happy. It was the day of our school exhibition. We were ready with our exhibits, hurrying about doing everything. But I was a bit tensed as I got a different duty. Now all of you may be curious as to what the duty given to me was. Yes, it was something very unusual — I was simply a moving anchor. I bolstered my courage and though this was not my first experience in anchoring, it was still an amazing one. I took up the challenge and began. I was able to interact with many parents, teachers, students…and almost everyone who came visiting. All of them appreciated my talent especially the parents had a good impression of me. This is not only my effort. I fared well because of the help given to me by my English teacher Mr. Josesh and our Principal Sr. Linsa Maria who gave me this wonderful opportunity. This is my most wonderful experience.

The past 12 months have seen capital markets activity and M&A pick up in Mexico following a crisis-inspired lull.
Mexican issuers have been
issuing dollar bonds, and the country saw its first IPO in more
than two years, though capital markets flow falls short of
pre-crisis levels.
The landscape for large
banks handling such operations seems little changed from the
past few years, with only a small group specializing in all
products. This allows Banamex to retain its title as the bank
best-equipped to offer a full range of services in Mexico,
without much need for the innovation characterizing competition
in other markets.
"Weve worked to
align all of our different services, so that when we visit
clients, they have a single offer of integrated services, with
all of the possible global and local market alternatives," says
Humberto Cabral, director of local debt capital markets at
"M&A activity has been heavy, in Mexico, with much
competition in the past year," Cabral says. He adds that

17 ways to eat a mango
Can a normal guy expect so that you can retire contributing to her retirement funds or do I must be a finacial friggin pro? yes, nodon't have to be a genius probably do have to save more than just contributing to an individual's retirement fund. EVER sd card readers YTHING DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOU CONTRIBUTE/SAVE. see how that works? the less time you've the more professional you needyou do not have to be a guru, no but you need to be more than 'the common guy'.. The normal guy doesn't find out shit about exclusive finance, does he or she care. He's dimwitted as well as ignorant, and blissfully not aware. For him, the government and work recruited programs will afford him a fixed income retirement where he's above the low income line. If you would like more than who, you have in order to vest yourself in the game, start, reside below your means, develop a strategy and stick to it. years at % savings must do it That leaves additional time to raise profit for house and family inside a year career. I can not help but explain, with and bitcoin offers lost % of its 'value' in a few days here, and the whole bitcoin ecosystem has become under attack by a coordinated-by-several-governmets DDoS harm...........

A 15-year-old East Oldgate Road boy, a 14-year-old Remington Avenue boy and a 15-year-old Fox Run Trail boy were all charged with felony burglary and theft, as well as curfew violation.
The youngest boy asked a Remington Avenue man to leave his door unlocked Thursday night because he was planning on sleeping over, according to a Sandusky police report. The resident gave him permission to stay over, left the door unlocked and went to bed.
At about 1 a.m., the resident awoke to find his 30-inch flatscreen TV missing, along with his car keys and Ford Windstar van.
A Perkins police officer remembered spotting the Windstar about 15 minutes before its owner reported it stolen. When he saw it again at about 2:30 a.m. on Perkins Avenue, he pulled it over. The officer cited the Oldgate Road boy for driving without a license and learned the teens were not hauling around the missing television, the report said.
The youngest boy contended the car was not stolen because he had been allowed to use it in the past.
The three boys were arrested and taken to the Erie County Detention Home.
The Fox Run Trail teen was also charged with illegal conveyance into a detention facility and marijuana possession. He took a small amount of marijuana with him into the facility, the report said.

The nominations for the most prestigious awards in the UK theatre calendar have been revealed today.Read the full story ›
Olivier Awards: the contenders
Lucrezia Millarini outlines the runners and riders at this year's Olivier Awards - the most prestigious prizes in British theatre.
"Curious Incident" tops Olivier Award nominations
The nominations for this year's Olivier Awards have been published today - and leading the field is The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time.
The National Theatre production, based on the hit murder mystery novel about a boy with Asperger's syndrome, has been named in eight categories, including Best Actor, New Play, and Director.
The toe-tapping new musical Top Hat follows in second place, with seven nominations, while the West End transfer of Chichester Festival Theatre's Sweeney Todd is also in close competition with six.
The Olivier Awards are seen as the most prestigious awards in British theatre - and have even been dubbed the "Oscars" of the West End.
Stars turn out for opening night of Book of Mormon
The hit Broadway show "The Book of Mormon" opened in London's West End last night.
Stars, including the cast of Downton Abbey and actor Damien Lewis, flocked to the Prince of Wales Theatre.
The no holds barred musical is from the creators of US TV show South Park.
New 'relaxed' theatre helps autistics

"Chorus Line" back in the West End
Theatre society 'astonished' at West End takings
Society of LondonTheatre president Mark Rubinstein said:
"I am delighted that for the ninth year running we are able to report year-on-year growth in ticket income for London Theatres.
"It is particularly astonishing that we are able to report increasing sales - of over half a billion pounds - for a year that we always knew would have exceptional challenges.
"Against the background of a tough economic climate, London theatre continues to buck the trend, offering dazzling, world-class entertainment, which has audiences from both home and abroad flocking to the West End to catch exciting new productions as well as much-loved long running favourites."
Theatreland defies fears of Olympic slump
London's theatres enjoyed an increase in box office takings last year, despite fears that the Olympics would hit business.
Andrew Lloyd Webber had predicted that the Games would create a "bloodbath of a summer" in the capital's theatreland - but audience numbers for 2012 were actually up slightly on the previous year.
According to the Society of London Theatre, box offices sales set a new record at almost £530 million - up 0.27% on 2011 - and attendances increased by 0.56% to nearly 14 million. Although audiences for musicals dropped by 2%, that was made up for by an increase in those attending plays.
The Society said that the Olympics did have some impact, with venues closing on the night of the opening ceremony and fewer performances being staged in August. However, more tickets were sold for the first week of the Games than during the 2011 Royal Wedding week.
New productions such as Top Hat, Sweeney Todd and The Bodyguard, have been credited with helping to boost sales, along with ongoing hits like One Man, Two Guvnors and Matilda The Musical.
Belting tunes, but will it live up to the film version?
Twenty years ago, "The Bodyguard" took hundreds of millions of pounds worldwide and created what was then the best-selling soundtrack of all time.
It also had film-goers weeping bucket-loads for the doomed love story of Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.
So, the West End stage version has a lot to live up to when it opens tomorrow - as our Entertainment Correspondent Lucrezia Millarini reports.

Gippsland Aeronautics is planning to offer a more powerful, stretched version of the eight-seat single-engined GA8 Airvan designed to fill a niche between the Cessna 206 and 208 Caravan single-engined turboprops.
"The ultimate aim is to stretch the aircraft to accommodate 10 seats," says co-founder and director George Morgan. Gippsland is considering a choice of engines including a Textron Lycoming I0-540-K1A5 piston, Lycoming's new 350hp (260kW) turbocharged engine under development or the Rolls-Royce B-17F2 turboprop.
"The hope is to have it certificated by the end of next year," says Morgan. The Airvan is designed for short strips and is used for passenger transport and utility operations. It has a cruise speed of 118kt (220km/h) and typical range of 1,350km (730nm) over 6h.
"We're flying in 28 countries worldwide, and are primarily used for tourist transport," says global sales manager Marguerite Morgan. "But we're also finding a market for humanitarian missionary work into areas with a poor infrastructure."

Belt-drive Brompton
Original post: September 2012
This shows my Brompton folding bicycle, which I converted from chain to belt drive. I'm very happy with it. It's very quiet compared to a chain, and no more oil, grease, and dirt!
The images show the setup. The frame had to be cut to allow the belt to be fitted. Those little metal plates and small bolts hold the frame together (the frame is cut right in the center of the dropout).
The "CenterTrack" belt is from Gates, as is the "chainring" and "sprocket" (roughly $80 each, carbondrivesystems.com). The chainring has a standard bolt-circle diameter, which required the Brompton cranks to be replaced. (It turns out BMX bikes are the main use for single-ring cranks, which accounts for the color choices.) The sprocket I got is for a Shimano Alfine hub, but it's roughly compatible with the Sturmey Archer five-speed hub on my bike – the Shimano has nine splines, the Sturmey Archer only three. An hour or so of filing...
The idler sprocket, which has the primary purpose of taking up the slack in the belt when the bike is folded, is plastic - I made it with 3D printing (shapeways.com). While it took quite some time to learn how to specify the part (with the Openscad computer-aided-design program), actually having it "printed" cost less than $12!
The standard chain-drive Brompton has a second idler that helps "fold" the chain. I replaced the second idler with a little "hook" (you need something – otherwise there's too much slack belt in the folded position). I tried a second small idler, but the belt is stiffer than a chain, and didn't want to run around the idlers in any case. As a result, I'm not able to reposition the pedals once the bike is folded. I've learned to position the pedals correctly before folding the bike.
I worry a bit about the tight bend the belt makes around the hook in the folded position – you're not supposed to kink the belts – but so far so good.
As long as one has an internal-geared hub, I don't see any point to a chain – the belt seems to have all the advantage!
Update: October 2014
The bike and belt have been performing well these past two years. I'm still completely happy with the change from steel and oil!
I decided I wanted a higher gear ratio, so created a new 15-tooth rear cog to substitute for the 20-tooth cog from Gates. It is 3D printed with Shapeways's stainless steel process (15 tooth GT2-11 Sturmey Archer pulley). Gates recommended against the smaller-diameter cog, saying that it was less than the recommended minimum radius, and that the belt cords (Kevlar fibers) might be damaged. Since this change, however, (almost two years ago) I've had no problems. I may have been lucky, however, since I am a light rider (138 lbs). Obviously a 200-lb rider would be putting a lot more muscle/force into the pedals!
With the smaller cog I also got a shorter belt (113 teeth instead of the 115 I started with). This is actually a better fit. Note that the belt tension is NOT provided by the smaller white idler sprocket. Rather, the positioning of the hub in relation to the crank is what counts. I had filed out the drop-outs a bit to provide for some adjustment -- without the filing the 20-tooth cog and 115-tooth belt were actually too tight (in fact, the Brompton couldn't be completely unfolded!). But I think that filing would have been completely unnecessary had I started with the 15-tooth cog / 113-tooth belt combination.

In "Velvet" #5 by Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting, the revelation about Mockingbird triggers Velvet's memories about their love and loss and a related loss of her childhood hero and mentor.
Full review here.
In "Velvet" #5 by Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting, the revelation about Mockingbird triggers Velvet's memories about their love and loss and a related loss of her childhood hero and mentor.
Full review here.
I really enjoyed issue 5! Always very glad when a comic makes space to deepen understanding of a character. Ive a much better sense of who Velvet Templeton is now, and why, and far more reason now to follow her story, beyond that its well told and nicely pictured.
Was a little sad to see a new cover-style: issues 1-4 have a very distinct style with Velvets face, in several guises, looming over the action. Seems odd to go with a totally different look to issue 5, the bloodied glove and razor, in an arc-concluding issue.
Age/Bronze, Alex&Ada, Anne Bonnie, AstroCity, Bone, Cerebus, Courtney C, Fables, Fatale, Fell, Goon, Groo, Hawkeye, Hellboy, JonahHex, Kane, Lazarus, Lone Wolf, NextWave, Popeye, Powers, RatQueens, SiP, StrayBullets, 10G, Thief, Usagi
I agree the cover was different, and I'm not sure what they were getting at, but it feels symbolic. What it means I haven't sorted out, it makes me think of what happened to Velvet's mentor, but it's not that literal. It is dramatic, whatever the case.
I look forward to reading this collected.
Presently training with Iron Bridge Kun...
I like stark dramatic covers. Of all the female protagonist books on my pull list I'd say Velvet has had some of the best covers.
Really good conclusion to the first arc. I'll admit I'm a little spotty on why Velvet and her husband fought (I'm gathering that it's a combination of Mockingbird handing something to the enemy, and that Velvet had another husband, but I was a little iffy on that. Any clarification would be appreciated). The art is just fantastic, and anything Ed Brubaker writes is good, so this has met and exceeded my expectations. Can't wait for issue 6!
Message board hyperbole is laughably bad, by a country mile. :rolls eyes:

But the reveal at the end about his not being a double agent was tremendously effective. Really looking forward to future issues.
Favorites: Natasha Romanova, Dinah Laurel Lance, Susan Storm Richards, Kitty Pryde, Carol Danvers, Deena Pilgrim, Emma Frost, Kate Bishop, Bobbi Morse, Forever Carlyle, Cast of Death Vigil
Pull List: Black Widow, Death Vigil, Lazarus, Velvet, Rat Queens, Copperhead, Captain Marvel, Red Sonja, All-New & Uncanny X-Men, Powers
I don't have to wait for the collection. One good afternoon takes care of all that.
I think Velvet is the best comic Brubaker has done since his Captain America run. I stayed with Fatale for a while, but I just couldn't get into the whole satanic cult/mysticism/crime noir mash-up. Maybe if read that in a collection it would come together, but really I'd just prefer if Brubaker and Sean Phillips could do another Criminal run.
Until they do, I'm with Velvet every stop of the way.
But he's dead right? Not laying in a coma? Because at one point I thought the scene of her checking in at the hospital was in the present.
The fight came about because both thought the other was double-crossing him/her. Velvet thought she had enough based on the note, the late night meeting w/Von Strauss and the phone call to the hospital. Richard's reaction was based purely on Velvet's expression I guess. As the conclusion to the first arc it was very dramatic but obviously leaves a lot of questions I wish we had more info / hints about.

New scoot for my daughter
Hi all,
I've been dropping in to this forum for a while. I'm usually on a bigger GS motorcycle, but I've always loved scooters and they're the biggest bike I can get my wife on so they've always had special place for us.
My daughter in San Diego wants to buy a scooter to commute to school, 50cc, and has my support (how could I not say "yes" if I'm already on a bike), but I have no clue about scooters except for a couple of wonderful adventures in Key West on bikes I don't even remember the names of.
I'd appreciate any advice you could give me on what she should buy.

San Diego is a good town for scooting. any idea why she want's a 50cc, however? here in cali it will require an MC permit or license, regardless. so i thought i would ask since some good 125cc scooters cost around the same as a 50cc. also, budget considerations if you have any?
also, when she gets it tell her to check out the San Diego Scooter Squadron. good 'peeps there :)
here they are "invading" a 7-11 lol
alright, down to business. so many good scooters out there....and what she should buy depends on what fits her best and what she wants. ANY of the below scooters are 50cc and around $2000, give or take. all are good, reliable brands
Honda Metropolitan 50cc
Genuine Buddy 50cc (derestricted will reach 45mph)
Yamaha Vino "Classic," Yamaha Zuma 50cc, Yamaha C3
Kymco People 50 (16in wheels)
Kymco Like 50 (big classic style scoot)
Kymco Sento 50 (kinda meh but ok)
Kymco Super 8 50 (sporty looks)
Sym Fiddle II 50
Sym Milo
man, i can go on ALL DAY
on the "top end" of the price spectrum for quality scoots is a 50cc Vespa at $3200. on the low end a Kymco Agility 50 at $1399. in the "middle" of that range is a Honda Ruckus 50 at $2600. and another good lower priced choice would be a Lance Cali Classic 50 at around $1600
of course she needs a dealer nearby, too. so it may simply come down to that so far as brand. some of these scooters come with 2 year unlimited mile warranties, and the Genuine model also includes two year roadside assistance which includes extraction
and of the 125's at around $2000?
Lance Cali Classic 125 ($1999)
SYM Fiddle II 125 ($2300)
Kymco Agility 125 ($1799)
Kymco Super 8 150 ($2400)
other good deals in a 125cc are the Genuine Buddy 125 ($2700 and many are closing out the 150's for the same) and the BEST deal atm in scoot land might be the Kymco Like 200i (163cc) at $2600. it used to be $3400. i have also read some Yamaha Vino's are going for around $2500OTD
so, just a bit of info and facts for you. and don't forget the gear and accessories!

A 50cc scooter will limit where she can ride due to fairly low top speeds. If she does ride on roads with higher speed limits she will have traffic trying to pass or just whizzing by. Personally I think a 125-150 scooter would be safer and more practical UNLESS she is just going to use it to go to school and the roads she will be on have low speed limits.
I don't know about California but around here dealers still have lots of 09 scooters that they are selling at really low prices. I got an 09 Kymco Super 8 150 for $2200 OTD.

This'll give me a good start! Methinks she thinks that a 50cc doesn't require a license, but if it does, I agree, 125cc is safer. And I'll check on the '09 150cc. I'll start trolling for dealers in her area next, because that's a very good point about having one nearby.

Motorsport Scooters...I've heard nothing but outstanding comments about them. They're old-timers in the San Diego scooter market. I suspect that used scooters hold onto their value in southern CA so it may not hurt so much to buy new.
I'm a big, big fan of the Buddy 125/150 (and coming 170 with FI) for its reliability and cute factor. It's gotten me special parking on my campus under the watchful eyes of security. I hope your daughter loves the scoot as much as you and your wife!

i know SD has a very reputable Vespa / Genuine shop. maybe a couple that sell Genuine scooters. the Genuine Buddy is going to be 170cc and fuel injected for model year 2011, but those scoots haven't shipped yet. however dealers need to make room for all the new stock so are giving good deals on the continuing Buddy 125 and the out going 150's
its a good small scooter with a warranty that will see her through the first two years of college. prices from what i see tend to be around $2500 - $3000 "out the door" on leftover 2009 and 2010 stock. good prices considering MSRP is $2700 for a 125 and $3200 for the 150, respectively
they are real workhorse scooters, and typically found at "scooter only" shops. this usually helps take the dickering out of the deal. just make an offer or pay an already discounted price. if they are discounted. otherwise make a low offer and most likely come away with a good scoot at a good price
i think they make great "girl" scooters, too
Genuine Buddy 125
Genuine Buddy International 150 "Pamplona" Edition (also available in Powder Blue (St Topaz Edition) and Seafoam Green (Italia Edition)
and as you can see from this ad the typical discount on 2009 125's is fairly nice. full warranty, and a great rider community included. these are fairly top notch scooters imo

thats right, BEFORE they can even get a learners permit for an MC. this would include a 50cc scooter (comsidered a "motor driven cycle"), and in fact includes just about EVERYTHING in Cali on two wheels with a motor outside a moped, electric bike, or GoPed
after six months they can get their license. during that six months the restrictions are no passenger / night riding / freeway

DudeClone, thanks I really appreciate the info. She's over 21, but still a student at UCSD. I am going to insist on MSF training and basic protective gear (helmet, gloves, jacket), because I have the power of the purse string still and am a firm believer in two-wheel education (I still attend instruction track days with my local club).

I'll second the recommendation of a Buddy, we have two - a 125 and a 150 St. Tropez. They are both '08's and we run the heck out of them, we work at the local university and I can't think of better commuter vehicles.

I also suggest a 125-150 cc scoot. A Buddy 125 or 150 would work well. They look cool and have that cute touch to them that might appeal to her, yet perform pretty well with a top speed of around 60 MPH and decent pep. They are also small and easy to maneuver like a 50 cc scooter.
If she wants to ride a lot of high speed road I'd look into a 250 cc scoot, but a smaller model like an Elite 250 or People 250.
A 50 cc would be fine at first, but believe me she'd get bored with it very fast. Their VERY VERY slow, you have to floor it just to get to 35 MPH and will still get cut off and honked at all over the place. Hills and wind just plain suck on these.

FWIW, today we had the mechanic from a competing shop come over on one of the Chinese 150s that they've done some "performance" work on, and being the professionals that we are, we decided that the best way to see how good their performance work is was to race it down highway 17 with my Yamaha Zuma 50 (more or less). The Zuma absolutely smoked the Chinese 150, even with their heavier mechanic riding it, and ours riding the Chinese 150. The 150 was quicker taking off, but once the Zuma got up on the pipe, it passed and just kept pulling away. When we did this, I was of the mindset that the 150 would be faster, but I didn't know how much faster.
We added up how much we spent on the go fast stuff, and we're in it less than $1000 retail for parts. We do premix now, but the bike is just so damn much fun. Even with the taller gears in the final drive, it wheelies with ease, and the brakes and suspension are solid now.
I will post pics if I ever figure out how.

Moped Medic, please let me know. I don't know scooters, but did you mean to say that a Zuma 50cc outclassed a Chinese 150cc (or was this a misprint, and the Zuma is a 150cc)? Thanks.

Buddy 125-150cc would be my recommendation. Ours is 5 years old and my son has ridden it to school daily for the last 3 of those. Back when I bought it (for me) I debated about a 50cc or a slightly bigger scoot and have been really happy with the decision to go to the 125 Buddy.
I should mention that ours is the discontinued cream color that my son thought was "too girly" so he spent $124 and replaced half the tupperware so its a two tone with black where the red on the Paloma is. Looks good and unlike some of the other scoots body panels are inexpensive.
Absolutely reliable, other than regular oil changes the only issue we've had in the entire time was replacing a mirror - my son banged it on a wall popping it up on the center stand too close to a brick wall & an issue with the rack. They've changed he design of the tail rack since we bought ours and the newer version doesn't have the same weld issue. 2 year factory warranty that includes pick-up for the cost of a toll call but we never needed it and I know few who have. Our local dealer says the most common call he gets is a dead battery where someone left the key on.
We went with the 125cc because too many people here go 10 mph (or more) over the speed limit and I wanted enough reserve to be able to get out of the way if needed.
As for the comment earlier about a 50cc Zuma smoking a 150cc chinese scoot - I find that very credible. A few folks around here have bought the low cost chinese scoots from the local "discount" street and they run like crap rarely lasting more than 1,000 miles. Finding anyone to work on them is extremely difficult too. One of the guys in our scooter group started off with a 250cc chinese knock-off of a Kymco scoot, it couldn't keep up with the 80cc Honda Elite another rider had. It could barely out perform the 50cc Honda Metropolitian.

As for a chinese 150 cc vs a Zuma 50. Its true for the LOW END china scoots. I hear the Lance 150 cc only maxes an indicated 50 MPH, so on GPS thats around 45 MPH or less! With a couple mods a Zuma 50 2 stroke will exceed this speed and likely out accelerate it.
cdwise, I don't think a Met or Zuma 50 will beat a 250 cc china scoot. In reliability, yes, but as for performance, no way! They actually perform decent, the water cooled models will hit 70+ MPH.
I would recommend a 125 cc as well or possibly a 150 cc. Just stay away from low end china scoots.

It never ceases to amaze me how many customers call me at some point during the spring or summer, claiming that I could not have cleaned their boat two weeks previously (as indicated by the invoice they had received) because the fouling growth they were looking at could not possibly have grown in that time. I understand that part of the hull cleaner's job should be to educate the boat owner about the realities of the fouling progression, but man, sometimes I wonder!

A fundraising website dedicated to the memory of a Richlands mother who was shot and killed earlier this month has nearly reached its $5,000 goal, as the investigation into her death remains open.
"Jordan Peters Skaggs was such a loving a beautiful person," wrote Jenna Beam, the website's creator. "She was the mother of three beautiful children. Her life was taken from her so sudden and tragically."
Jordan Skaggs was shot multiple times in the chest around 9:45 p.m. July 13, according to previous reports. Her husband, Christopher Skaggs, remains in Onslow County Jail on an open count of murder. Officials say he was the one who shot his wife.
As of Friday, the fundraising effort had already received $4,160 in donations from over 45 people in the Jacksonville community and friends of the family.
The beneficiaries of the fundraiser are Jordan's three young children and Melody and Rusty Coffey, parents of Jordan Skaggs, according to information from the website.
"On behalf of Jordan's family, children and friends, I would like to thank everyone so much for the donations, prayers, thoughts, concerns, meals, phone calls and so much more during this tragic hard time," Beam wrote. "Please continue to share this link, as I know the family will face many financial situations on up coming events with this trial. Please also continue to get this wonderful family in your thoughts and prayers during such a sad time. Again, thank you so much for all you have all have done. It's appreciated tremendously."
The Skaggs children were at the family's house on Cherry Blossom Lane at the time of the shooting, according to earlier reports.
Gary Skaggs, Christopher Skaggs' father, was contacted earlier in the week and stated, at the time, he was with the children.
Jordan Skaggs' death remains an open investigation, according to Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown.
"Right now we don't have any updates to provide on this investigation," Brown said. "The matter will remain under investigation until the court trial date."
Christopher Skaggs' is scheduled to appear in court on Monday. He was denied bond in his first court appearance.

Iron Man 3 benefitted from its North American opening weekend to score the highest grossing IMAX weekend in history. The film's $28.6 million weekend came from 562 screens worldwide, including record-breaking openings like a $63,000 per-screen average in China, a $77,000 per-screen average in Russia, and a $47,000 per-screen average in the Ukraine.
LOS ANGELES -- IMAX Corporation (NYSE:IMAX; TSX:IMX) and Marvel Entertainment announced that Marvel's Iron Man 3 has grossed an estimated $28.6 million for the weekend in 592 IMAX® theatres worldwide, setting an all-time global IMAX opening weekend record. The film, which premiered in North America Friday, May 3, and returns star Robert Downey Jr. to his now-iconic title role, established several other IMAX records and benchmarks, including:
• The film generated $15.6 million domestically, setting a new IMAX opening-weekend record for May and establishing the second-best IMAX opening weekend in North America
• Multiple individual theatre opening weekend records with 27 IMAX theatres establishing new Friday records, and 22 setting new marks for Saturday
• Record-breaking IMAX openings in key territories, including China ($63,000 per screen), Russia ($77,000 per screen) and Ukraine ($47,000 per screen)
Iron Man 3 has now grossed $39.3 million in IMAX at the global box office, and the film overall has grossed $174.2 million domestically and $677 million globally so far.
Dave Hollis, Executive Vice President, Theatrical Exhibition Sales and Distribution, The Walt Disney Studios, said, "IMAX continues to be an in-demand format for premium, immersive moviegoing experiences like those created by Marvel's action-packed films, and we're very proud of the record-setting performance of Marvel's Iron Man 3 on IMAX screens around the world."
"Iron Man 3 is a bona fide global hit and the perfect property to kick off the summer season," said Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Entertainment. "Films like this form a strong foundation for our portfolio and we once again congratulate Marvel, Disney and the film's cast and crew for creating a film that so clearly resonates with IMAX fans around the world."
Wednesday Update: Iron Man 3 grossed $11.29 million on Tuesday. That was essentially on par with Monday's performance and represented a strong first-Tuesday hold. The film's five-day domestic total stands at $196.699 million.
Tuesday Update: Iron Man 3 grossed $11.27 million on Monday. That was down 74 percent from Sunday's performance and brings the four-day domestic total for the film to $185.41 million.
Monday Update: The reported weekend actual for Iron Man 3 is $174,144,585. The daily breakdown for Iron Man 3 was as follows: $68.859 million on Friday, $62.273 million on Saturday and $43.013 million on Sunday.
Sunday Update: Disney is estimating that Iron Man 3 will gross $175.3 million this weekend. That ranks as the second largest opening weekend take of all-time, behind only the $207.44 million debut of Marvel's The Avengers last May. Iron Man 3 grossed $62.2 million on Saturday, which represented a decline of just 9 percent from Friday.
Saturday Update: Disney reports that Iron Man 3 took in $68.31 million on Friday. That places the film on pace for a strong opening weekend gross in the area of $169 million.
Friday Update #4: As the evening continues sources now tell BoxOffice that Iron Man 3 is on pace to gross $63 million-$65 million on Friday, which would mean an opening weekend take of around $161 million.
Friday Update #3: More numbers are coming in now and sources tell BoxOffice that Iron Man 3 is going to hit $65 million-$67 million on Friday, which means that it should end up with around $165 million for the weekend.
Check back tomorrow morning for an official studio estimate and a new projected weekend haul.
Friday Update #2: Sources tell BoxOffice that Iron Man 3 is on pace for $66-$68 million on Friday. The action flick's weekend total should come in between $165-$170 million.
Friday Update #1: Disney reports that Iron Man 3 took in $15.6 million from Thursday evening/midnight shows in North America. That compares favorably to the $7.5 million that Iron Man 2 tallied from early shows, but it falls short of the $18.7 million haul that The Avengers posted before setting a new opening weekend record with $207 million.
LOS ANGELES -- Fandango, the nation's leading moviegoer destination, reported today that Iron Man 3 is the first film this year to score 100 on the company's Fanticipation scale (above), which charts movie fan buzz and excitement around the weekend box office line-up. Numerical scores (on a 1-100 scale) are calculated based a proprietary analysis of Fandango's advance ticket sales, website and mobile traffic, and social media engagement. To date, Iron Man 3 is flying away with 93% of Fandango's ticket sales today as of 10 am PT.
Voted in a springtime Fandango moviegoer survey as the most anticipated film of the summer season, Iron Man 3 is currently Fandango's top-selling advance ticket-seller of the year, and its advance sales are outperforming Iron Man 2, at the same point in that film's sales cycle.
According to a Fandango survey of more than 1,000 Iron Man 3 ticket-buyers:
88% of survey respondents said The Avengers influenced their decision to see Iron Man 3.
62% said Gwyneth Paltrow's more dynamic role in Iron Man 3 increased their interest in seeing the movie.
57% picked Sir Ben Kingsley as the most anticipated newcomer to the Iron Man franchise.
Iron Man 3 has grossed $307M and counting in the overseas markets. The superhero film has shattered records left and right, winning the top spot in each of the countries it opened. The release broke the single-day record in China, not included in our coverage from last week since it was only released on May 1. You can read our daily updates on Iron Man 3's global numbers here. Germany and Russia were the only major markets where Iron Man 3 did not premiere last weekend. The vacancy allowed a second consecutive victory for Russian hockey biopic Legend no. 17 to win in its domestic box office and, somewhat surprisingly, Scary Movie 5 to entertain German audiences in its debut weekend.

Gibson offers new way to 'play' guitar
By Antony Bruno
SAN FRANCISCO (Billboard) – Gibson Guitar has teamed with
videogame developers Harmonix and RedOctane for a new musical
simulation game called "Guitar Hero." The game will launch
November 1 on the PlayStation 2 entertainment system.
Gamers guide characters through a series of live
performances in venues that grow in size as the characters'
careers escalate. The goal is to play along to more than 30
licensed rock songs in the game using a customized guitar-based
controller created jointly by Gibson and RedOctane.
The "guitar" controller sports a five-button fret board, a
switch used for strumming and other peripherals like a whammy
bar. Players must select the appropriately colored button on
the fret board that corresponds to the prompts in the game
along to the rhythm of the song. Players most closely matching
the prompts gain points and advance their careers.
Songs in the game include Boston's "More Than a Feeling,"
Jimi Hendrix's "Spanish Castle Magic," Franz Ferdinand's "Take
Me Out" and the Donnas' "Take It Off."
The game and controller together are expected to retail for
about $70.
