So, what is the secret behind the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) success? It's not rocket science. Well, not entirely, if you hear what a MP had to say.
According to Rajya Sabha MP and Chairman of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science & Technology, Environment and Forests T Subbirami Reddy, the recipe behind Isro's smashing success is science coupled with divine power. Yes, you heard it right.
Reddy, who visited the Isro Satellite Integration and Test Establishment and reviewed Isro's performance on Wednesday, spoke his mind on Isro's divine connection. "A secret I discovered is that Isro chairman Radhakrishnan and his team of scientists have two powers: one is scientific and the other is divine. Radhakrishnan and his team of scientists regularly go to Tirumala to seek the blessings of Lord Balaji. They have the blessings of god, otherwise I don't think it is possible to achieve what they have."
Reddy then remembered to add hard work to the list.
"I found that apart from hard work, they are also drawing power from Lord Balaji," Reddy said.
Reddy then waxed eloquent about Isro's performance, saying that by successfully launching 110 missions Isro had drawn the attention of developed countries.
"Earlier there were only five space powers: USA, Russia, France, Japan and China. Now, India has joined this league as the sixth country. We are now recognised by these countries and they have become our collaborators, which is a huge achievement," Reddy said.
Isro and the tirupati connection
Isro's connection with Lord Balaji at Tirupati is quite old. It's an Isro tradition to offer prayers to Lord Balaji before every rocket launch. A miniature model of rocket and satellite is placed before the deity and blessings are sought for a successful launch. Isro chairman K Radhakrishnan is ardent follower of this tradition. Prior to important launches like the recent Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), he visited Tirupati and sought the blessings of Lord Balaji. Following the successful launch, he also paid a thanksgiving visit. Rationalists had slammed this act. Chief of Federation of Indian Rationalist Associations Dr Narendra Nayak had said that Isro chairman had insulted the Constitution by violating Article 51 A. Bharat Ratna awardee and eminent scientist CNR Rao had termed Isro's tradition of going to Tirupati as a superstition. "Human beings are scared. They think that if they visit temples, they will be blessed with success. What to do?" Rao had quipped.

Yeah normally my sticking point is about 3 inches off the chest, so I was surprised to see it come off the chest easily, yet struggle a bit in that range. Oh well.

What might be next for stocks—using Elliott wave
A technical look at the stock market suggests that risks may be near all-time highs.
- Fidelity Active Trader News
- – 05/28/2014
With a few interruptions, the market has been rallying for more than five years. That's why the sideways start to 2014 has some investors wondering: Has the momentum begun to fade?
To answer this question, you can look to one of the primary trend analysis tools in technical analysis: Elliott wave. A current analysis of the S&P 500® Index using Elliott wave suggests that stocks might decline after hitting all-time highs, but there could also be a silver lining.
What is Elliott wave?
Elliott wave is among the foundational principles of modern technical analysis. Created by Ralph Nelson Elliott in the 1930s, Elliott wave forecasts market trends by identifying patterns and extremes in investor psychology, and examining market highs and lows. See the diagonal blue lines near the price action in the graph below to get a sense of what Elliott waves looks like on a chart.
This chart illustrates a simple 5-wave structure. Note that these lines were automatically drawn by Fidelity's Active Trader Pro® software. The waves are represented by the blue diagonal lines. Wave 1 lasts roughly from July 2012 to September 2012, wave 2 from September 2012 to November 2012, and so on.
How to do Elliott wave analysis
Riding the wave
A wave can be motive (with the trend) or corrective (interrupting the trend). In the image above, waves 1, 3, and 5 are motive, and waves 2 and 4 are corrective.
Wave 1 volume is typically greater than wave 2 volume. For an uptrend, the movement of wave 2 should not retrace more than 61.8% of wave 1.
Wave 3 is usually the largest and most powerful wave, typically climbing by a ratio of 1.618:1 versus wave 1.
Wave 4 usually retraces less than 38.2% of wave 3 and should never breach wave 1. Wave 5 volume is typically lower than wave 3.
The purpose of using Elliott wave is to identify trends and spot potential reversal points. For active investors, spotting these trends can help you trade with or against the market's momentum and manage risk. Keys to using Elliott wave include identifying start and end points of waves, corrective patterns, and minor degree subdivisions ("subwaves" within larger waves).
While there is no exact science to identifying the beginning, end, and length of individual waves, there are set principles that guide identifying wave formation (see sidebar). Many trading platforms, including Active Trader Pro®, can help you identify waves.
What Elliott wave indicates now
Until you have some experience identifying and applying Elliott wave analysis, consider the work of experienced users like Ching Tan, a veteran technical analyst at Fidelity.
When looking at a weekly chart of the new bull market that began in March 2009, Tan suggests that there is the possibility for a correction near the all-time highs on the S&P 500, based on Elliott wave. He points to a price level around 1,902.17 (the S&P closed at 1,911 on May 27, 2014) as a key level to watch because it is potentially a high for the current wave we may be in. See his full analysis below (for advanced, experienced users of Elliott wave).
Ching Tan applying Elliott wave to the S&P 500
"Elliott wave theory is one of the most flexible and subjective technical analysis tools. Two analysts can label waves on a price chart differently. Yet, even though the exact labeling of waves can differ, the forecasted future price moves often point in the same direction, and that is where the Elliott wave theory can add value.
Wave I
"Based on my analysis, Wave I in the weekly chart below covers the period between the March 6, 2009, trough and the April 30, 2010, peak. The low to high range for the period covers 553.01 points. Wave I can further subdivide into five smaller-degree waves as marked on the chart below.
Wave II
"Identifying wave II in this pattern is a little tricky. At first glance, you might think this wave covers the period between the April 30, 2010, peak and the July 2, 2010, correction bottom. However, this assumption is violated by subsequent waves. Between the July 2, 2010, low and May 6, 2011, high, the price range is 359.67. This is supposedly followed, after wave III, by the corrective wave IV that lasted into the October 7, 2011, week bottom, which is then followed by the wave V rally that developed into the week of September 14, 2012. This wave V covers 399.74 points.
"In this scenario, wave III would be the shortest among waves one, three, and five, yet that violates a key Elliott wave principle. Thus, we must reexamine wave II. Instead of labeling the single corrective phase between April 30, 2010, and July 2, 2010, we treat the complex price path between April 30, 2010, and October 7, 2011, as wave II. This wave II is a running flat (a type of wave pattern where wave B ends significantly beyond the beginning of wave A, however, wave C does not reach the price where wave A ends) of an A-B-C corrective wave (an Elliott wave pattern that can follow a standard 5-wave move) in which wave B exceeds the beginning of wave A.
Wave III
"Wave III begins at the October 7, 2011, week low. We can easily see five smaller-degree waves lasting into the September 14, 2012, peak, which covers the 399.74 points just mentioned. However, this cannot be the complete wave III because, after the shallow wave IV would complete, wave V would extend 558.82 points. This still leaves wave III as the shortest wave, which again is an Elliott wave rule violation.
"Therefore, the 399.74-point price moves between the October 7, 2011, week low and the September 14, 2012, high appear to constitute subwave 1 of wave III, which is followed by the wave 2 within wave III that ended in the week of the November 16, 2012 low. What we are witnessing now could be subwave 3 of wave III, which covers 558.82 points so far.
Where are we now?
The golden tool
In addition to wave structure, one of the primary tools used within Elliott wave analysis is the Fibonacci series. Key Fibonacci ratios for Elliott wave are 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and 100%. These ratios can be applied to previous waves to forecast future price targets. The mathematically inclined may recognize 61.8% as the golden mean. This number is of particular importance in Elliott wave analysis.
"Now comes a critical question as we assess the current market: Has subwave 3 of wave III ended and a corrective subwave 4 of wave III already begun, or will subwave 3 of wave III continue to go higher? One way we can generate ideas is by using Fibonacci ratios (see sidebar).
"We already know that subwave 1 of wave III covered 399.74 points and, so far, subwave 3 of wave III exceeded the length of subwave 1. A conservative estimate of subwave 3 would be 1.382 times that of the wave 1, which spans 552.44 points. Adding that to the subwave 2 low of 1,343.35 results in the target of wave 3 being 1,895.79.
"Interestingly enough, this is only about 6 points shy of the all-time intraday high of 1,902.17 that was achieved recently. This tells us, from an Elliott wave perspective, that the market may be risking a correction at this price. Therefore, it will be worth closely monitoring the price action in the near future. On the other hand, if the market continues to rally past this price level, we will have to adjust the targets of subwave 3 to 1.50 or 1.618 times that of subwave 1, which will give us an approximate price range of 1,943 to 1,990.
"We have to keep in mind that, if the subwave 4 correction has already started, or starts later, a subwave 5 rally would follow in order to complete wave 3. This would then be followed by a wave 4 correction and wave 5 rally (to complete a full 5-way structure). This could mean that the current bull market that began in March 2009 might be far from over.
"In addition, if we apply the alternation rule to wave 2 and a possible wave 4, because wave 2 is a relatively sharp correction of 131.16 points, the expected wave 4 could be a relatively shallow flat (another type of wave) with a less than 131.16-point decline. This would imply that the S&P 500 Index would be unlikely to decline below 1,771 before it starts a wave 5 rally. The result would be a test of at least the recent all-time high, and possibly new highs."
Investing implications
While this type of analysis may seem complex, once you understand the basic guidelines and get some experience looking at the market in waves, Elliott wave can be a powerful tool that may be able to help you trade with the momentum and spot changes in trends.

On December 8, 2011, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that a disabled teacher who failed to meet the minimum requirements for her position was not a "qualified individual" under the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), and that her employer, therefore, was not required to accommodate her disability. This decision appears to be positive reinforcement that employers are not obligated to accommodate individuals who cannot perform the applicable job duties.
In Johnson v. Board of Trustees of the Boundary County School District No. 101, No. 10-35233, 2011 U.S. App. LEXIS 24305 (9th Cir. Dec. 8, 2011), plaintiff, a special education teacher in Idaho with a history of depression and bipolar disorder, sued her school district employer under the federal ADA for failing to reasonably accommodate her disability. Plaintiff argued that the school district failed to reasonably accommodate her disability in violation of the ADA, when it refused to apply for a provisional authorization from the state of Idaho to allow her to teach for another school year, even though she lacked an Idaho-mandated valid teaching certificate. Plaintiff would not have had a valid certificate by the start of the school year because she did not take the three semester hours of professional development training that would count for college credit required to renew the teaching certificate. Notably, during the summer preceding the applicable school year and the expiration of her valid certificate, Plaintiff suffered a "major depressive episode" that prevented her from obtaining the credits.

Faster and stronger on the bike....

a. I hate the buying advice. $500 will get a bike that any newbie can ride for a year or two, and 10 years if they choose. If they choose to engage in the sport, then it's time for the 1000-2000 bike.
People forget that for new, even half-keen riders, the "repair/spare kit + shoes + pedals + helmet + clothing + bike computer" bill can easily run from 250-500 or more. Add this to a 500 bike and you've blown a grand, which is a steep entry level for a sport (compared to tennis: $50, soccer: $100, etc etc). As I say, if the bike is found to be wanting, it can be easily and cheaply upgraded, and it's at the $500 level that one will lose the least when selling a 6month old bike.
b. People should remember that due to specificity (you get good at doing what you do, and different sports translate less than people think), gains from doing power sprints on a bike will translate less to running on a court than you might think. Doesn't mean they won't translate, does mean that doing power sprints on a COURT will translate much quicker.
Otherwise, a good, readable and informative article - I just hope no-one read it and took the "inside pedal down" advice before the correction was issued, it's a very quick way to flick yourself off a bike!.
so self-aware / so full of ~~it / so indecisive / so adamant / i'm contemplating thinking about thinking / it's overrated / just get another drink in

Okay, follow me here on our second piece of lesbionic celebrity sexy tape news of the day.
Vivid announced yesterday: Tila Tequila, the petite, bubbly reality-TV personality and pop culture wild-child, is now starring in an all-girl threesome sex tape, "Tila Tequila Uncorked," acquired by Vivid Entertainment, the world's leading adult film company. The release date is set for Monday, Feb. 14th on www.vivid.com and in stores nationwide. We did confirm this date with Vivid, the full tape should be epic.
Meanwhile, our friends at RadarOnline have an exclusive story about how furious Tila Tequila is about the release of her lesbionic threesome and is threatening to sue everybody under the sun.
From Tila's rep, Brad Taylor, in the Radar story: 'Our Client Tila Nguyen is in total shock and livid right now that someone had the audacity to leak out an intimate tape made with her and her 2 girlfriends without her consent," the diminutive star's rep told RadarOnline.com.
"That tape was not meant for the public and she has been fighting fiercley in court to not have anything released. We are currently working with her lawyers to decide what the next steps are.'
Now, we do not know the original source of the leaked clip currently floating around the Internet. But, we do know that Vivid has always proven to be on the up and up when it comes to celebrity sex tapes, they've released some of our favorites. We also know that celebrity outrage over the release of a sex tape and celebrities getting paid for their permission to air their sex tape are not mutually exclusive. Personally, I'd stick with updates from Vivid on this front.
For news and information purposes, take a look at this Tila Tequila threesome lesbionic sex tape clip and see for yourself what is kicking up all the controversy.
VIEWER DISCRETION WARNING: This is a sex tape. There are acts of hot, juicy, stinky sex taking place. If such offends you, do not watch this clip or view these pictures. Seriously, stop now. Dammnit, you're not stopping! Okay, you've been warned.
Updated to Add: Our friends at Vivid sent us a preview of their upcoming Tila Tequila Uncorked, the full enchilada sex tape as it were, available on Valentine's Day (sweet treat for the lady in your life.)

(06/21/2007) --- KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- At Astrotech, an overhead crane lifts the Dawn spacecraft from its stand to move it and mate it to the upper stage booster for launch. Dawn is scheduled to launch July 7 from Pad 17-B on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Dawn's goal is to characterize the conditions and processes of the solar system's earliest epoch by investigating in detail the largest protoplanets that have remained intact since their formations: asteroid Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres. They reside in the extensive zone between Mars and Jupiter together with many other smaller bodies, called the asteroid belt. Photo credit: NASA/George Shelton

With the song releases leading up to his Black Print street album, Trae Tha Truth has taken it upon himself to emphasize some of the basic, well, truths that make him who he is. Choppa Talk found the Southern emcee assuring listeners that he is, in fact, the man, and I'm From Texas... yeah, you can probably guess what that one was about. On the latest song release, I Do This, the Southern rhymesayer continues this trend, letting the world know that he's a doer of great deeds, not just a big talker. Over the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League's booming choral beat, the H-Town native trades aggressive bars with fellow man of action T.I., Khaled contributes some characteristically hoarse ad-libs, and Rico Love reprises his chorus from Wale and Meek Mill's Actin' Up. Black Print is available digitally as of today, August 29. Khaled's Kiss the Ring is available now in stores and online, and fans can keep it locked for the latest on Tip's yet-unscheduled Trouble Man LP.

Developer apps competitions seem to be all the rage lately. Even OGC is having one — a Student APP Challenge focused on geospatial interoperability of course. It's sponsored by Google and features a Nexus tablet as part of the prize.
Here are a couple others:
This year, NYC BigApps is tapping the best and brightest minds to work together to help solve major challenges – or as we like to call them, BigIssues – affecting New York City residents, visitors, and businesses. We've selected four focus areas for the 2013 competition and invited experts to develop problem briefs that vividly describe BigIssues within each category. You can choose to solve any of the BigIssues outlined in the problem briefs or create your own BigIssue to tackle.
In addition to problem briefs, NYC BigApps will feature a range of diverse experts who will help advise participants through ongoing events, virtual office hours, and project page feedback. Check back here for our list of experts, which will be up shortly.

I sat on a panel Friday at the IJIS WIS3 Information Sharing and Safeguarding event where we were asked to think about the big problems with making cross-domain information sharing work. What I take away from the afternoon is this.
We have an abundance of technology tools and options available to us. Developing more technology isn't the answer. The toughest problem right now is developing a cultural practice of information sharing. Creating an information sharing profession, and training a generation of information sharing professionals to have a baseline of skills, practices and values.
It's already happening in the open data movement. When will it happen in all the vast recesses of federal government?
Apparently, The Library of Congress is a "pro" flickr user. I haven't looked at the flickr API in awhile, but as I was refreshing my memory of the flickr.photos.search API, I noticed this parameter I didn't remember:
is_commons (optional): Limit the scope of the search to only photos that are part of the Flickr Commons project.
What? Never heard of the "Flickr Commons project." I nervously clicked on the link, expecting as usual to find a major let-down — a cool idea with an underwhelming follow-through on content. The first thing you see is the mission:
The key goals of The Commons on Flickr are to firstly show you hidden treasures in the world's public photography archives, and secondly to show how your input and knowledge can help make these collections even richer.
OK. Sounds good. So who's participating? I quickly click that link, and right at the top is…the Stockholm Transport Museum!?!? Nothing against Stockholm, or transportation for that matter, but not exactly the huge important photo archive I was hoping for. But all is not lost, there's a lot more organizations listed. NASA…good…National Archives UK…good…New York Public Library…interesting…
And then I saw it. Last on the list was what I wanted to see — The US Library of Congress! They have "some 14 million items" with "more than one million" online at their web site! Are they all in flickr and searchable through the API? No. But it looks like over 10,000 are. Not a bad start. Flickr just became interesting again.
Over the past few years, a strong community of interest has evolved around information technologies for developing databases of place names and points of interest, and also the search interfaces and gazetteers that provide the query tools for these databases.
You're invited to join an ad hoc, international group of people interested in implementing these systems, which I'll just call POIs for short. I've been involved in the World Wide Web POI Working Group, which approached the topic from an information modeling standpoint, and the American Association of Geographers workshop, where practitioners shared their experiences.
Many of us now feel the time is right to keep the momentum going, and have a slightly more formal channel for occasional communication. Some of us are implementing the W3C's draft spec, and are looking to partner in my effort to create a unified, global linked database of all POI information with the OpenPOIs Repository. And some are just looking for data modeling commiseration. No matter what your take on the POI world is, please join us.
We're starting with informal, monthly "brown bag" teleconferences at 3pm UTC / 11am US Eastern on the first Thursday of each month with the first gathering this Thursday, May 3rd. If you're interested, please subscribe to the mailing list. All details about meeting times and phone numbers will be announced there.

Harvey Specter is the best closer in New York City. He's at the top of his game closing mergers, acquisitions and even divorces; it's in his blood. As a result of his success, Harvey is offered a promotion to senior partner at his firm, Pearson Harden. With that promotion, however, Harvey will need a little help. His boss, Jessica Pearson, has enlisted him in a hunt for a new associate.
Mike Ross isn't your average Harvard Law School student... he's not even enrolled there. But that doesn't stop him from taking the bar exam for Harvard graduates as a way to make money on the side. Mike is a prodigy; simply put, he's brilliant. He also has a photographic memory: if he reads something, he remembers it for life.
But Mike's grandmother is sick, and in order to help her, he needs to raise a lot of money. That's where his pot-dealing best friend comes into play. In a botched drug deal, Mike must escape drug-buying thugs. He serendipitously flees the scene and falls into a round of Harvey Specter's associate interviews. While Mike's in hiding, it doesn't take long for him to impress Harvey. And with that, the finest law duo in the toughest law town is born.
Mike gets situated at his new job at Pearson Harden, acquainting himself with those who will help him and those who will stand in his way. Harvey throws Mike his first case, a ''pro bono'' sexual harassment suit involving a CEO. But will Mike's need to raise twenty-five thousand dollars and his ''bad influence'' best friend get in his way? If Harvey is going to stay on top of his game, he'll have to keep Mike motivated and honest.

The Belt Chair is a modern adaptation of the traditional 'charpoy' (literally translates to four legs), which are often woven with 'niwar' or cotton webbing. The chair is made in solid beech, and in vegetable tanned leather (as is used in high quality belts). The generous shape, and clean lines make the chair extremely comfortable, and at the same time, a modern classic. The chairs are produced in small batches by skilled carpenters from the 'jangid' community in Rajasthan, India, and the leather is processed in tanneries that specialize in vegetable tanning (i.e. a tanning process that uses tannin, and other substances of plant origin) thereby sustaining the environment as well as cultural traditions. The chair can also be stacked in order to save space.

Gesualdo was an Italian composer who, because of mental illness, murdered his wife and her lover, and wrote music in the 16th century that was so progressive and extreme that no-one attempted to recreate his style until the 20th century. He wasn't revered in his lifetime, and after his death he was forgotten. It wasn't until centuries later that he was rediscovered, and his work is a huge inspiration to me.

the FZ1 may be "detuned," but it will still peel your face off. 85+ in 1st. first time i took it on the highway, i was in 4th at around 65mph, hit some open highway, punched it, went warpspeed blurry, looked down at the speedometer, and was doing 130, still in 4th, in a matter of a couple seconds. it'll also float the front a couple inches off the ground for surprisingly long distances in almost every gear (in first and second with much less than full throttle). and unlike all the recent literbikes, there's no abs or traction control or power modes. it's just you and the throttle.
as to the 600 v 1000 thing, I'd wager that in real world conditions, a 1000 wont be faster anywhere other than the straights, and only marginally faster on a timed closed "real world" course of twisties or anything else other than long straight highway.

US can bar child-sex tourism abroad: US court
By Adam Tanner
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – The U.S. government can prosecute
Americans who travel abroad and engage in paid sex with
children, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Wednesday.
At issue before the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals was
whether the U.S. Constitution's commerce clause, which gives
Congress the power to regulate foreign trade, permits criminal
sanctions against U.S. citizens paying for sex abroad.
"We hold that Congress acted within the bounds of its
constitutional authority," Margaret McKeown wrote in the 2-1
decision of a three-judge panel of the court based in San
"The illicit sexual conduct reached by the statute
expressly includes commercial sex acts performed by a U.S.
citizen on foreign soil," the judge wrote. "This conduct might
be immoral and criminal, but it is also commercial."
The case involves Michael Lewis Clark, 71, who from 1998 to
2003 lived mostly in the Southeast Asian nation of Cambodia and
had sex with between 40-50 boys there, by his own admission.
Cambodian police arrested him in Phnom Penh in 2003.
Victims told authorities they had earned between two and five
dollars for the sex acts. He was extradited to the United
States and was the first person charged under a 2003 law that
made it easier to prosecute cases of commercial sex with
children abroad.
Clark, who had lived previously in the Seattle area,
admitted his activities in a 2004 plea deal that sent him to
prison for 97 months, but he left open the possibility to
appeal the law on constitutional grounds.
Spokeswoman Jamie Zuieback said U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement has prosecuted at least 15 cases since
2003, compared to two prosecutions in the decade prior. The
recent cases have involved American men soliciting sex in
countries including Cambodia, the Philippines, Thailand and
In a dissent, 9th Circuit Judge Warren Ferguson, appointed
to the court by Democratic President Jimmy Carter in 1979, said
U.S. legal authority did not extend abroad in such cases, even
if the behavior in question was abhorrent.
"The Constitution cannot be interpreted according to the
principle that the end justifies the means," he said. "The
sexual abuse of children abroad is despicable, but we should
not, and need not, refashion our Constitution to address it."
Ferguson argued that Clark's travel from the United States
could not in itself make his later activity subject to
regulation under the commerce clause.
"The mere act of boarding an international flight, without
more, is insufficient to bring all of Clark's downstream
activities that involve an exchange of value within the ambit
of Congress's foreign-commerce power," Ferguson wrote.

Salt Lake to Tahoe on a Pony
As all who have any orange in their blood knows, KTM has staged a rally for the adventure bike crowd for the last 7 (?) years. Last year was Moab. This year it was Tahoe. Rumor is Bend, OR, is on the radar next year.
Our plan was to ride to Tahoe via the Pony Express (PET) route. Many know that this is no great challenge in Utah where the trail consists of many nicely sanded & sometimes grades roads. The question is Nevada.
Map wise, the Nevada is sketchy. Little is posted, less is tracked. In order to lay out the path, I bought about a dozen BLM maps & transferred the info by visually matching topo features with the maps. That gave us a series of way points & a route. But what would we find?
Who knows, but that is why they call it adventure. Being the optimistic type, I budgeted 3 days. Surely it couldn't take longer to ride 635 miles...could it?
Oddly enough, the rally was located at MountBleu Casino in So Lake Tahoe. The PET crossed the casino parking lot. Karma!
Trailtwister agreed to take off 4 days from work to accompany me (a difficult decision). Others planned to attend but "events occurred" to prohibit such. We were on our own. A 990 & a 950S in the Nevada desert.
Leaving bright n early at 0900 on Tuesday morning, the first stop was Simpson Springs. Been here many times but we wanted to pay homage to a few of the major way stations along the way...
Is this what a Pony Express rider looked like coming across the desert? Minus the road of coarse...
Lunch was under Russian olive trees at the Fish Springs station. Were they there in 1861? Doubtful...
The Callao station (Willow springs) is also the center of several farming operations today...
Some stations are marked by metal plaques like this ...
This is all that remains of the canyon station...
The Ibapah station is an Indian trading post. This one was built in 1893 (?) as I remember. Two older versions are adjacent. We need fuel but were suspicious. The teen age boy attendant assured us it was ok. I felt better. We only bought 2 gal each (regular) to mix with our hi test + a few old candy bars & headed down the road...
The Deep Creek station is still in Utah though most Ut riders don't venture this path...
Crossing into Nevada, the road looked like more of the same...
The path led us across wide open desert with sketchy but defined tracks. Occasionally a gate needed attention. It should be noted that no Indian land was harmed in the making of this movie...
Still 2 track but one has to watch carefully to not get off trail. We are still makin good time at this point...
The route led up the hill...
...to Rock Springs pass. NV BLM was kind enough to mark the trail quite well using a mix of signage. Here you see the concrete mini- Washington monument shaped marker along with the brown wood sign. We will see many more of these...
The sign proclaims this to be the highest point on the PET. Hmmm...Nice place...
Dropping down from Rock Springs pass, we pass Schell creek station area. Nothing remains but a sign at the intersection of Nv 93. We note that we need to take care of the fuel issue. Even plastic n aluminum horses need fuel. It is evening the only fuel is at Ely, 38 mi south. So south we go. Burn 1 gal to get 5. No options...
While in Ely, we were tempted with a $43 hotel room, cold brews & steak. We gave in to the evils & checked in.
End day 1

It was a great ride.
From the Wasatch to the Sierra Nevadas, the physical geography has been called 'Range and Basin' ... and Range and Basin ... and Range and Basin ... AndRangeAndBasinAndRangeAndBasin ...
You can sorta tell the route was chosen for steeds -- flesh or iron. And what's a pony trail without ponies?
The trail just goes over the range and not around it.
I'm only posting this one to illustrate the awesome trailscape. Not to draw attention to Harcus' zero mileanhour laydown.

After filling our bellies & tanks, we returned via 93 to Schellbourne to follow the trail.
Next up, Egan canyon.
The mouth of Egan Canyon contained several interesting cabins & structures connected to the mining world. But no obvious way station...
Egan canyon is named for Howard Egan who scouted a trail from Salt Lake City to California for driving cattle. His trail was unusual in that it led OVER the mountain ranges thus providing a shorter route. This trail became the basis for much of the PET & others. You can read more here if interested...
Passing through the canyon was interesting but uneventful. We popped out in a valley with many roads / trails soon passing a cemetery.
Fort Pearce is what the sign says but not all agree...
We moved on. On to confusion. The roads on the maps were a mess. After a few bad choices, turnarounds, & backtracks, we found our way out. Out into the cedars. Hard to complain about playing pong in the cedars ..
Dropping down from the mountain, we encounter the next step in our education....
It seems that the valleys between the mountain ranges are silty. Not just silty but rutted & silty. Apparently the wet spring with trucks driving the road created ruts...and silt, etc. Over the next day I must have dropped my bike 8 or 10 times. Who knows. Sometimes there were new ruts & silt outside of the main trail that were also silty. I once told Trailtwister to go ahead. He said "No. I want to watch your technique"
I said "My technique is simple. If the ruts are bad, i ride the sage brush"
It was smother. Sometimes.
As we passed through the valley we noticed it was raining around us. We hadn't thought about was happening in the mountians ahead of us. I think this was the only time Trailtwister dropped it ...
I should add that TT did not want to bring the Gobies. He had no option for gear. They did provide him some entertainment.
We soon moved from the slime to the super tack. And kept climbing...
Range, valley, range, valley...
Sometimes the BLM (?) saw fit to tell the story...
The trail became more interesting as we moved west...
We noticed the trails were frequently covered with large piles of brown stuff. We soon found the source. Just what you would expect on the Pony Express trail, I guess...
He's really smiling in there. Trust me...
The BLM loves Carsonite markers. They used a little triangle with the letters "XP" to define the PET. Handy.
This is the approach to Overland Pass. Overland as in the Overland stage company...
The climb up to the pass was a steep dugway with a hairpin turn. Fine if you keep the tractor moving. Not so fine otherwise... The view from the top...
Curtis is pointing at a grave marker. Bob as I remember...
The trail dropped quickly down a rocky creek bed dropping us out at the Roberts Creek station. There is a large ranching operation here that from the quantity of old rundown buildings has existed for some time.
The station marker...
Once again, we needed to feed the ponies so we headed to Eureka. We found a place for dinner...
Originally, our dusty friend from Vernal, Hick on a Crick, was going to ride with us. Life intervened. As luck would have it, he had asked about hot springs along our path. I had spent some time adding these to our GPS route. One was coming up.
We inquired of the waitress...Does she know of this HS? had she been there?
She responded, somewhat sheepishly, that some 20 years ago she had but not recently. And gave it an endorsement. We suspect a story is here but chose not to embarrass her.
Good enough for 2 dusty cowboys. We saddled up.
It was on a private ranch but the GPS didn't lie. There it was. Not large but warm. Two tubs, one large, one small. No one else. Close enough. We set up camp & soaked off the fungus...
The sunset...
Did I mention that the milky way is bright in Nevada ? Particularly when viewed through an open tent screen?
>>>End day 2<<<
Coffee was served next morning along with snacks. Unfortunately, there was no waitress in the French maid outfit...
We soon saddled up & headed for Simpson park. This area was another grey zone on the maps. We soon found out why.
A thin 2 track took us thru the desert past this abode. Dry Creek station I think...
As we approached the mountain, the trail thinned. Thinned to the point it was difficult to discern. Luckly there was Carsonite.
The Carsonites led us directly into a canyon full of brush with a but a single track going up the side. Choked with brush it was obvious that this trail had not seen wheeled traffic for many years. Trailtwister pointed out we brought the wrong bikes. A 300 2 smoke could have made it. My over sight.
We backtracked & hit the road westerly...
We wandered our way thru the mountians toward Austin. Again, not a very clear path. We had lost the PET because it went up the canyon and we couldn't. We eventually found it again along this road above Austin...
This was also where Trailtwister announced that his tempermental fan on the 950S was not getting better. An intermittent circuit it seems makes for sporadic operation. He wanted a soldering iron. In the desert. Seemed reasonable but let's go to Austin for food n fuel.
Big decisions always go better over food.
We found it here. Burgers n beer. What a deal. Best so far.
This is where we also realized that we still had 200 + miles to go in 1/2 day. Not good at the rate we are going. Time for the option card...Hit the highway.
This put us into the MontBleu Casino by 1800. We checked in to the hotel. Then paid the KTM crew a visit.
Back on schedule. Ready to ride Friday morning...

Day 4 - The first ride day
As mentioned earlier, this year's rally was held at MontBleu casino in So Lake Tahoe. This was a quite a change from past venues. The casino was full service meaning there were resturants within the casino but not outside. One could go to another casino but not an outside restaurant. Per KTM, 102 rider preregistered. This was down from the 150 at Moab last year. KTM noted that Moab was "special"- an appropriate word for Utah.
So, dirty motorcycle riders clumped to their rooms featuring polished granite baths. Unusual to say the least. A large parking lot to the north of the casino provided a staging area as well as parking for the KTM support truck and demo bikes. In this pic, the trailer is visible on the right & the edge of the casino on the left. This same area was roped off for anyone to use for bike parking, etc. We chose to park closer to the room to facilitate hauling bags & gear to the elevators.
The rally is directed at 950 / 990 Adventures, SEs, & 690s but open to all. Here is an interesting rally bike in the lot. Almost every permutation could be seen....
KTM typically gets with local riders to set up rides for the attendees. This can be challenging since the skill level varies greatly. Some rider had paper plates from purchasing their bike in the previous week while others had highly "seasoned" bikes...and bodies.
Many of the KTM rides contained quite a few road miles. We came to ride trails & dirt is possible. Luckily, we found a local...George.
Insurance salesman by day with a very low AMA no, he volunteered to lead a group of us through the trees & sage. It turned out to be real adventure.
KTM provided breakfast on day 1 (Friday) so we got a late start at 1000. By the time we left the lot, the group had grown to 17 (?) riders. Quite a handful to watch.
We headed out onto Kingsbury grade for a short distance & cut through a residential area to the Genoa Peak trail. The trail wound through the pines above Lake Tahoe and was highly used as evidenced by whoops for the first several miles. George set a very fast pace with sporadic stop to gather the sheep. This was to be his signature.
The whoops ended in some pavement before dropping on to US 50...
We followed US 50 for a short way & again dodged into the trees onto Kings Canyon trail. This was a beautiful trail that provided many vistas...when we stopped...
Here George gave the history lesson of the valley & admonished us to watch for the rocks coming up. I expected a scree field like at Moab but these turned out to be several volkswagon sized items that had dropped on the trail. Just to be interesting, some yahoo had parked his pickup in front of the rocks leaving about 1 foot of space on the trail for passage. Nice.
This is George...
He rode a modified 950 Adv (aren't they all?) complete with 2 into 1 low pipe, extended carbon bash plate, roll chart, etc.
The pipe made the big V sound like a 4 ...beautiful. Being vertically challenged as he is, I had a hard time telling when he was standing or sitting...no matter.
We soon popped out onto pavement to collect the sheep...
We proceeded to Carson City & Goni Road. The target was Cafe Rio in Virginia City, home of the first gold strike in Nevada, for lunch. Time slipped away (as always on these ventures) & we arrived late, much to the irritation of the owner. Oh well. Trailtwister & I tested brews, salsa & chips while waiting. George had succeeded in finding a nail for his rear tire on the way in so he & several assistants focused on the repair. Here you see the group in front with George & bike on the RH side...
Good food at the Cafe Rio. Virginia City has many interesting buildings worthy of a view. Someday I will return..
After lunch, George led us to Six Mile Canyon & Dayton. Following Como road, it soon turned to dirt...and hell. The next 21 miles were challenging, dusty, rocky and ...fun. But it did sort out the riders.
We added another 10 miles & exited over Sunrise Pass for a total of 44 miles of entertainment.
At this point, the ride group was scattered over much of the trail. Gradually they appeared...all but Trailtwister. The last 2 riders pointed "back there". Who knows what that means. He had been having fan problems. Maybe he is stopped on the trail.
So I headed back to look for him. Riding backwards following my GPS track was pleasant enough but the sun was setting fast. Half way back with a bit of light left, I picked up a pinch flat. Lat time I will use thin tubes. I peeled it off while on the bike, patched it & went on. Still no sign of Curtis, I rode the trail back to the gas station where we started. It is now 2000 hrs. Now within cell range I find a message from Curtis. He was in Carson 1/2 hr ago. Good. It was a dark chilly ride to the hotel & a late dinner.
Sorry, no pics.

With the second phase of Lok Sabha election starting in Maharashtra on Thursday, Congress is finding its support base weakening in at least four Lok Sabha seats — Solapur, Nandurbar, Latur and Sindhudurg.
When the poll campaign began, the party was sure of its victory in these constituencies, but now it is finding itself on shaky ground.
The reason: double anti-incumbency — Congress has been ruling at the Centre as well as state for the last 10 years. Also, the escalating prices and increase in unemployment ratio have compounded problems for the party.
In the Solapur Lok Sabha (reserved) seat, 41-year-old BJP nominee Sharad Bansode is giving a tough fight to Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde, 72, of Congress. Shinde, who was elected thrice from this seat, is facing a lot of anger across the constituency, with voters in a mood to "settle score with him" for failing to do development during his tenure. Also, the caste factor is against Shinde. Bansode is a Mahar, which has a sizable presence in the constituency, while Shinde belongs to the Chambar caste.
In Latur, Congress has Dattatreya Bansode pitted against BJP nominee Sunil Gaikwad. After the demise of former chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, Congress is losing its grip in Latur. People aren't happy with Amit Deshmukh's (Vilasrao's son and Congress MLA) style of functioning.
It's a similar story in Nandurbar, which was known as a Congress bastion. Here, Dr Heena Gavit, 31, daughter of expelled NCP minister and MLA Vijay Kumar Gavit is making matters difficult for nine-time sitting Congress MP Manikrao Gavit. Voters are blaming Manikrao for the rise in unemployment and malnourishment in the tribal belt.
In Sindhudurg-Ratnagiri constituency, meanwhile, Congress nominee Nilesh Rane, son of industries minister Narayan Rane, is pitted against Shiv Sena nominee Vinayak Raut.
"There is so much anger in the minds of people. They are fed up with the constant price rise. Farmers are not getting a good price for their products. Hence, the voters are looking to BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, who has pitched himself as a strong leader. Therefore, the traditionally-known Congress bastion is turning into a saffron zone," said Jaydeo Dole, political analyst.

Archaeologist Seeks Geeks
I'm just as happy spending an evening at home fighting off zombies as I am exploring a new city or grabbing a drink at the local pub. I'm a little bit shy and pretty geeky. After spending the last two years working on my Master's degree in Museum Studies, I can't wait to travel more. I'm very focused when it comes to my career, but I became an archaeologist because I love Lara Croft and Indiana Jones. I only get frustrated in bad traffic or with slow Wi-Fi, and I self-prescribed a daily dose of Stephen Colbert to shrug off stress. I love talking about movies, books, games, politics, science, and religion, but there's also something to silence. I'm a good listener, a loyal friend, and a happy girl. I'm completely open to making new friends, going a couple dates, or even starting a new relationship. I'm looking for someone who has a dry, dark sense of humor and a willingness to take risks and explore. You don't have to choose between Star Wars or Star Trek, but loving one or the other definitely helps. Openness, warmth, and intelligence are the keys to my heart (and possibly my pants). I'm drawn to healthy, happy people who know they earned a trip to Taco Bell or a night out at the movies, and remember to stop taking life so seriously, even if I struggle with that sometimes.

Congratulations to the 102 first Green Members to the iHub!
Check your email to see if your application was successful.
Your Green membership allows you to come into the iHub and use the space as your own. We've put the foundation in place, now it's up to you to make something of it. In here, you'll have first dibs on seats for incoming talks by Kenya's most successful CEO's and thought leaders, a chance to meet your peers and work on new projects, get preferred access to the job and events boards (coming soon), sync with our corporate partners (Nokia, Google, Microsoft, and Wananchi) and use the high-speed 20Mbs fiber connection provided by Zuku.
Next Steps:
- You'll need to come into the iHub to collect your new ID card, since this is what will clear you to come into the iHub from now on.
- This really is your space now, and it'll need your involvement. Think of ways you can support the iHub, whether it's helping with the network, website, starting a user-group meeting, mentoring or something of your own design.
- Get to know others, do cool stuff.
(Membership types explained, basically, Green means that you can walk in and use the facility for free.)
Volunteering your skills at the iHub is what makes this place really tick. The whole website and programming for the approvals area is thanks to designers and programmers volunteering their time to make it come together. A HUGE thank you to Joshua Musau who led the effort, along with Charles Kithika, James Gutu and Jepchumba.
Green Member Applications and ApprovalsWe're up to 1500+ "White" members, who have online access to all of the features that are going up on the website, and had about 225 green membership applications that were put in on time to review. The iHub advisors took about 3 days to read and review each application. The primary reasons for people not being accepted were:
- Not enough information. Many people wrote only 1 sentence about why they should be a considered for membership.
- No picture. If you don't have a real picture of yourself, your application is not considered complete and isn't considered.
- Weak portfolio. Designers and programmers both need to have enough info to show that they've actually made/done things in the past.
Though we wanted to accept everyone, we had to set a limit on this first wave of Green members due to the size of the space. As we better understand how it is used, we will open accept new waves of Green membership applications. Those who applied this time, and weren't successful, will have the chance to update their application and resubmit.

Whenever frustrated, I'm a hijack Delta
from Nas – N.Y. State of Mind Lyrics on Genius
This line calls back to one of the earliest terrorism allusions in rap from Grandmaster Melle Mel and Duke Bootie in "The Message":
A mid-range migraine, cancerous membrane
I think I'm going insane
I swear I might hijack a plane
The Delta example was not accidental — Delta experienced a dozen hijackings in the 1970s and 1980s.
Nas might be specifically referring to the hijacking of Delta Airlines 841 by the Black Liberation Army in 1972. Worth looking into.

Ducks vow to get back to work vs. Predators
ANAHEIM, Calif. After the Anaheim Ducks went on a frantic six-week sprint just to make the postseason, Teemu Selanne thinks it's understandable they couldn't maintain that breakneck pace going into their playoff opener.
The Finnish Flash just wants to make sure the Ducks don't take another night off in Game 2 against the Nashville Predators on Friday night.
The Ducks acknowledge they were outworked in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Nashville, and 6-foot-5 goalie Pekka Rinne was exactly the nightmare Anaheim anticipated. But after a dynamic 15-5 finish to the regular season, Selanne and his high-scoring Ducks aren't out of tricks.
"The way I saw last night's game, we have been grinding so hard for such a long time, and we had a letdown," said Selanne, who scored the Ducks' only goal during a 5-on-3 advantage in the third period. "We took a night off. Those guys were better, but now it's back to business for us."
The Ducks will have to do almost everything better to compete with the Predators, whose conservative approach negated most of Anaheim's strengths, just as it did while winning three of four in this matchup during the regular season.
Anaheim loves an uptempo game, with its star forwards jumping on odd-man rushes or cycling the puck to create scoring chances. Nashville didn't allow much of either, and Rinne ate up the Ducks' few good scoring chances with an alarming ease.
Selanne doesn't know his fellow Finn very well personally, but he responded to the mention of Rinne's name Thursday with a good-natured epithet.
"He's one of those guys, when you think it's an empty net, it's not," Selanne said. "He's the reason Nashville is where they are. He's so quick down low. When he goes down, his bowed legs touch either post, and his glove hand is one of the quickest."
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle is being typically secretive about who will start in his own net Friday night. Ray Emery, who missed Anaheim's last two regular-season games with a lower-body injury, pronounced himself healthy Thursday after mopping up for Dan Ellis in the final 19 minutes of Game 1.
Emery's aggressive style and sharp play since signing with Anaheim could be a boost for the Ducks, who relied heavily on the former Ottawa goalie down the stretch. Emery could only watch in Game 1 as Mike Fisher, his longtime Senators teammate, scored two of the Predators' four goals.
"Getting into the playoffs is special," said Emery, who was in net when Ottawa lost the 2007 Stanley Cup finals to Anaheim. "Playoffs are a whole different thing. That's what I really, really love about the game. It's been a long time. It's been since I played against these guys in the finals."
Nashville coach Barry Trotz couldn't find much to criticize about his team's opening effort, praising Fisher's playoff poise and downplaying the importance of a single game. After five first-round losses in the past six years, the Predators aren't getting excited just yet.
In fact, Nashville led Chicago in their first-round series last year after winning Game 1 on the road, only to drop the series in six games.

Seventh Seal: Prelude to the seven trumpets (Revelation 8:1-6)
The trumpets announce severe judgment in response to the prayers of the saints. Trumpets are a warning signal and a call for mankind to repent of their sins. The plagues released by the blowing of the trumpets are similar to the plagues of Egypt (Exodus 7:17-21; 9:21-25; 10:21-23).
The first four affect the natural world and the last three affect the unsaved. Some people believe these calamities are symbolic and not literal. They are seen as repetitive throughout history and intensifying as the age closes.
The desire of every Christian should be to please our heavenly father by our deeds, words and attitudes. James shows us ways the Christian can please God. The book of James is a manual on the Christian life.
God's will for every Christian is that we grow spiritually. The writer of Hebrews challenges us, "… let us … go on to maturity" (6:1). God wants us to be like his son. As Christians our standard for measuring our growth is not another Christian, but the word of God.

WASHINGTON - Even as she came to the nation's Capitol to celebrate the 25 millionth child to enroll in Head Start, Lucia Palacios, who runs Orange County's chapter, said the preschool program is struggling to help families in financial trouble.
"With communities and families hurting economically in these tough times, these services are even more important to them," Palacios said at a news conference called by the National Head Start Association to highlight the accomplishments and needs of the 43-year-old program.
Palacios met with Head Start leaders from across the country to mark the program's milestone and lobby Congress for more funding. The program's national governing body is asking lawmakers for $832 million in 2009.
A poor economy and lack of funding has prevented Head Start of Orange County from providing education and social service programs to thousands of low income children who have no other place to get such help, Palacios said.
Based on data from Orange County Child Services and the U.S. Census, Head Start has determined that there are still 18,000 children who qualify for the program but are unable to enroll, she said.
There are 36,848 children in Orange County between the ages of 3-4 that are eligible for some federal and state assisted preschool, said Anne Broussard, the county's child care coordinator. The county is only capable of supporting 10,780 kids— 19 percent of all children who the state says are eligible.
Head Start has 43 centers across the county. It currently provides almost 4,000 low income kids not only access to early education, but gives them proper nutrition, medical and dental care. The program was founded in Orange County in 1967, two years after the federal government authorized it.
The program hasn't received an increase in funding since 2001, Palacios said. Adjusted for inflation, there has been an 11 percent decrease in support for the program since 2002, said Ben Allen, a researcher with the Head Start association.
