Now on my 08 EXC the spacers were updated along the production line between 04 and 08 and have a much better sealing surface and I haven't had a hard time yet but I still take the axle out and clean and grease it after every couple of rides and after EVERY muddy ride.
Throughout this I had some premature bearings that let go way too early but my biggest incentive was stuck axles. Its no fun working on stuff when you can't even get the wheel off
It always seems to me that water is the real enemy with wheel bearings and the spacers/dust seals. Water can get in most anywhere and takes fine dirt/silt with it.
It can wreck the dust seals over the bearings like grinding paste,then the spacers rubbing against the dust seals are subject to the same paste at pretty high speed,cleaning and greasing of course helps,maybe having extra dust seals and popping them in from time to time. Ive submerged bikes/wheels in nasty waterholes with river silt in them and had the wheel bearings die the next ride,they're dirt bikes,its just what happens.
Some bikes around at times

"The rally crystallized what is emerging as the dominant theme of the mayoral race, a battle over perceptions of life in New York: one of a city on the move for all its residents with a rebounding economy, improving schools and lower crime, as the Bloomberg campaign suggests; the other of a city Mr. Ferrer sees, in which the poor are being left behind, the middle class is being squeezed and too many children are dropping out of school into a dire future."
Says the Wall Street Journal's "Washington Wire," "Minority leader Reid launches online organizing drive next week linking activists with Democratic Senate campaigns."
2008: Republicans:
While speaking to a packed house at the Heritage Foundation on Wednesday about the importance of "speed," "agility," and "opportunistic thinking" in homeland security, Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) said: "We have 120 colleges in Massachusetts. Are we tracking people from terrorist-sponsored states who are going to those colleges?"
"How about people who are in settings -- mosques, for instance -- that may be teaching doctrines of hate and terror?"
"Are we monitoring that?" he asked.
Romney's Heritage remarks--which were interrupted by applause when he said "I'm for fewer illegal immigrants coming into our states" and "I don't like amnesty" -- may be signs that this "red state folk," as he described himself, is not planning on running for re-election in the bluest of blue states in 2006. We still await the formal announcement of his intentions sometime this fall.
Back at home, Romney finds himself in hot water today with civil liberties and Muslim groups for his Heritage remarks. LINK
In a telephone interview with the Washington Post, Romney said he was not calling for a loosening of the rules governing when and how the government can conduct surveillance.
But he defended his focus on mosques as potential surveillance targets, saying that attacks by Islamic terrorists in the United States, London and elsewhere justify a particular focus on Muslim places of worship. Authorities "should be watching what's being taught in a mosque more closely than what's being taught at the local 4-H Club," Romney told the Washington Post.
Gov. Romney tries to "soften" his Washington DC based remarks on wiretapping, which has angered many Muslims. LINK
Romney's new office digs will cost him $58,350 annually the Boston Globe reports today. LINK

Cats and Kids
Rain, cats and
adventurous two-year-olds mean that planting up is no
easy matter in Rachel Household's back garden...
Yes, I've finally
got rid of my begonias. Even though I hated them with
a passion, I was still racked with guilt at throwing
away plants that were not dead-dead, only half dead.
Finding the time to re-pot my window boxes was a bit
of a palaver. I had plans to take my time, follow the
packet instructions and resist the urge to overplant.
The first day of the weekend it rained non-stop, on
Sunday we had to go to a christening.
I finally managed
to find a moment late that afternoon in failing light.
This was the moment when my two-year-old took it into
his head to climb the lilac tree at the end of the garden
and the four children from next door decided to introduce
themselves ("What's your name?", "What's his name?",
"How old is he?", and so on).
In between having a conversation with Felix-from-next-door
and constantly rescuing Alex from the tree ("duck duck"
translating as "stuck stuck"), I managed to do some
planting. Out went the packet instructions and ideas
about colour co-ordination, in went the bulbs willy-nilly,
with winter pansies plonked on top.
Actually the pansies look pretty damn fine, if overcrowded.
And anyway, I've decided that's my forte: I am destined
to do pub window boxes, it's my calling. We pass one
such pub on the way to see my parents. It's a riot of
colour, just ludicrous - you can't see the building.
And that's obviously what I aspire to, I should really
open a drinking establishment (after all, I did work
in one when I left school...)
It's also my intention
to get some crocus bulbs into the earth, but it's so
wet out there, I'm waiting for the water levels to go
down. However, I did manage to get my 'King Alfred'
daffs and some crocuses into a couple of lovely terracotta
pots, again, with scant regard for spacing. After planting
I meant to put them up on a ledge but was worried about
the wind - they might get blown over - so planned to
invest in some chicken wire to protect the bulbs in
the meantime.
Too late. The other Thursday I came down the stairs,
had a look out the window, and saw piles of earth on
the ground, bulbs on the surface of the earth, and god
knows what dug into the pots. Yes, the cats have dug
up my bulbs and I presume used the pots for other purposes.
Guess I'll have to start again...

Decision to be enforced from November 1
Global Positioning System (GPS) is being made compulsory on school buses from November 1 as part of the measures to strengthen the safety of schoolchildren. Students have to be issued radio frequency identification and detection (RFID) card to enable school authorities and parents to monitor their movement.
These were among the decisions taken at a joint meeting of bus owners, police officers, and school authorities held at the collectorate on Tuesday.
GPS will enable the Motor Vehicles Department, parents, and school authorities to keep track of the movement of school buses as also the speed at which they were moving. The RFID card will help school authorities and parents to keep track of their children. An SMS will be sent to the school and parents concerned as soon as the student, wearing this card, boards the school bus.
It was decided that only drivers with a clean record and having at least 10-year experience be allowed to drive school buses.
Drivers who had been convicted on charges of drunk or rash driving should not be appointed. The bus should have a door attender who would ensure that the children got in and got out of the bus safely.
Student comfort
Provision has to be made to ensure comfort of students on the bus. In order to prevent overcrowding, the bus should have one seat for each boy or girl above the age of 12 though one seat would be enough for two students who are aged below 12.
Besides District Collector P.B. Salim, City Police Commissioner S. Sparjan Kumar, and RTOs P.T. Sasidharan Nair and Rajiv Puthalath were present at the meeting.

Post-war 'hyper-masculinity' driving rape in Liberia
Published on Jun 9, 2014 7:59 PM
DAKAR (AFP) - Mothers raped during Liberia's civil wars are facing the fresh trauma of seeing their daughters attacked in peacetime due to a persistent "hyper-masculinity" in society, a leading think tank said Monday.
The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) said that while up to 77 percent of women are thought to have been victims of sexual violence during Liberia's 1989-2003 conflicts, the west African country continues to have one of the highest incidences of sex crimes in the world, 11 years on.
"War can lead to an environment in which sexual violence is normalised. After the war, men are often aggressive, 'hyper-masculine' and struggle to adapt to peacetime," said Nicola Jones, a research fellow at the London-based think tank.
"The legacy of sexual violence can have devastating impacts not only on individuals and families but also on whole communities," she said.

Central America
Mexico to Guatemala was my first 'real' border crossing on my own. I aimed for the Tapachula crossing (against everyone's advice), but about mile before the border there was a river. The bridge was out. Why in the hell is the main bridge along Highway One from Mexico to Guatemala out with no detour, I just don't know...
The next closest crossing was to the south at Talisman. I had my first experience with 'helpers' here, they were very pushy. In my experience, anyone that pushy is trying to cheat you, so I ignored them on the Mexican side.
I screwed up three times at this border.
The Tapachula border crossing has a banjercito at the border. One has to visit a banjercito in order to get the $300 US vehicle deposit refunded. Talisman didn't have a banjercito, though everyone at the border said it did. I didn't find this out until AFTER I exited Mexico. Damned if I was going to let them have $300. I had to re-enter Mexico and drive about 60k back to Viva Mexico where the aduana banjercito is located. Mistake 1.
On the Guatemalan side I ignored the helpers that rushed me. I didn't research the entry requirements prior to hitting the border. Mistake #2. While in line a well-spoken Guatemalan guy started helping me out. When I started to negotiate a price, he said not to worry - pay what I think his help is worth at the end. I agreed. Mistake 3.
The process is easy and in no way did I need a helper. On the other side of the Guatemalan border the helper handed me a bill. I was prepared to pay $5US (~35 Qs). More than fair in my mind. The bill was $50US!
Meanwhile, my helper and 5 or 6 other Guatemalan guys had come over to stand around me. I didn't really feel threatened - but I think that was their intention. I laughed, crumpled up the bill, and made it clear I wasn't paying $50US. The negotiation started...
He started to make some vague threats about calling the police over and I told him to do it. Then he said that if I didn't pay he would call his friends up ahead and I would have trouble with bandits or road blocks. More bullshit because there ain't no one willing to block highway 1 to make a few bucks from a border crossing helper.
Eventually I paid about $14US to get him and his fat friends to stop surrounding me - but I was pissed off and beating myself up for both using a helper and not agreeing upon a price in the beginning. Ah well, I chalked this up to a learning experience.
Do your research!! I've ran across motorcyclists paying upwards of $300US at border crossings.
My goal was to hit Quetzaltenango - I was scheduled to begin a week long Spanish immersion class. I got a late start after correcting my screw-ups at the border, but the drive to Xela was gorgeous.
Many rich Guatemalans and foreigners have villas along the Pacific Coast of Guatemala. The permanent staff live in the villas and keep them in a nice state of repair and keep squatters away.
Chicken Bus. This isn't your typical yellow chicken bus - I suppose the driver of this bus wanted to stand out.
These buses take curvy mountain roads faster than me on a motorcycle. Unfortunately if you look over the edge of the road you can see chicken buses at the bottom...
The Spanish Immersion class was great. I enrolled in the week long, one on one, 6 hr per day class - and a homestay with a local family.
If you want/need to do a Spanish class, Xela is a great place to do it. Cool city, safe, with everything you could need...even a Wal-mart! As far as the class, I would recommend taking maybe 4 hours per day for two weeks rather than 6 hours per day for one week. My brain was fried at the end of each session. Additionally, the homestay was average. It was cheap for a place to sleep with food included - but I didn't get anything out of it. Luck of the draw I suppose.
I was in Xela during their week long day of the dead celebration. Church youth groups creating murals of sawdust in the main square.
The town cementerio is cleaned and decorated.
Fuckin' Dogs...
One resident, apparently with lots of money, was fascinated by anything Egyptian.
Grave robbers left the recently deceased alone...the marble heads on the statues were much more valuable.
It's a celebration biatches!
I just barely caught this bike with my camera. You over packers will probably get a boner over this guys's rear/top case. It's what...200 liters?
From Xela the road took me north to Tikal. The scenery was gorgeous!
The largest landslide thus far...
It was like the ENTIRE mountain had just collapsed. I can't imagine the volume of mud, dirt, and rocks displaced.
I was stopped by the police several times on my way north, but not once was I asked for a bribe or harassed. They were all very cool and interested in my trip - where I had come from, where I was going, what I thought of Guatemala.
It was about this time that the rain started. Early November 2011. It has rained damn near every day since then...it is now 11 March 2012. Five months of rain.
Anyway, Guatemalans on motorcycles (and everywhere else in Latin America) HATE when another motorcyclist passes them. Hate it! I can't tell you how many guys on 250s would try to keep up or pass me. In this particular instance on my way north to Tikal, I came across a particularly slick segment of pavement. With rain, it was like ice. I was pissed off at my tires because I was sliding so much.
Behind me, two guys two up on a 250 Honda were trying to keep up (and pass). We went around a pretty sharp turn and I heard a loud crash and metal scraping on pavement. I look in my mirror and see them sliding to a stop. It's another biker, so even though they were being assholes I stop to help. SHIT! It's not the tires - I can barely stand up in my boots. I couldn't believe how slick the pavement was.
The guys were not wearing any helmets or gear, but were already up cradling hand, knees, and elbows (not dead at least). I picked their bike up and moved it off the road - but wasn't much else I could do. They didn't want to call anyone, but I'm sure the one guy had a broken arm and the other had a broken leg. Onward north.
In Tikal an odd phenomenon began. No matter where I went, I was the ONLY person there. In Tikal, the hotels and campgrounds were empty, no buses or vehicles where in the parking lots, even the restaurants would close early. I suppose it's a good thing...
I woke up early to view the 'awakening' of the jungle. I didn't want a guide, so I paid the normal entrance fee (and didn't get a ticket stub) to be let in 3 hours earl. I walked in to the Great Plaza and sat on Temple II to experience the Awakening of the Jungle.
Truly, the Awakening of the Jungle was far cooler than walking around the Tikal ruins. The ruins didn't speak to me, but the awakening - with the monkeys howling, birds screeching, and the sunrise was something else. One of the coolest things I experienced on the trip. After it was light, I wandered around the rest of the park but didn't see the point in spending all day there and left around 11am.

About 8am the morning after I had the DR running a local guy shook me away in my hostel bed with a roll of US $$ hundos. Couldn't pass that up and had the bike legally sold in in about 1 hour.

I traveled back to Ecuador with a roll of hundos. I felt pretty vulnerable traveling by bus with all that money.
I am assuming you will continue your RR?

N.C. House Speaker Thom Tillis will interact with Catawba County residents Tuesday during a town hall meeting in Hickory.
Tillis will visit the auditorium at Catawba Valley Community College at 5 p.m.
"The speaker will get up and talk for about five minutes about what was accomplished in the last legislative session, likely about jobs and the economy," said Jordan Shaw, a spokesman for the Tillis office. "Then he'll open it up for questions. You ask what you want to talk about, and we'll talk about what you ask."
Assistant Register of Deeds Rita Beaver was named the Catawba County employee of the year this week.
Seven county employees were nominated, and Beaver was recognized with the award Tuesday night at the county's annual awards night at Catawba Valley Community College.
Beaver is a 35-year veteran of the deeds office. According to a release from the county, she receives praise from coworkers for excellent service, for being a patient instructor and for preserving the county's history.
Emily Perry, 16, began dancing when she was six years old and hasnŌĆÖt stopped. As soon as she was old enough to help in the kitchen, she started baking.
Little did she know that her skills in the kitchen would help her dancing career. Her dancing, however, led her to use her culinary skills. Hence, ŌĆ£Cupcakes4 Ballet.ŌĆØ
From the time she was 6, she danced, and she danced on pointe to where the increase in the intensity of her ballet training caused her to wear out two to three pairs of pointe shoes per month.
The Friday print edition of The O-N-E is on the streets and on the way to homes, while the online edition is available to readers worldwide.

ŌĆó┬ĀBandys volleyball breaks a "curse" and advances in the state volleyball playoffs.
Sometime about 1990 was the last time I was bored.
ItŌĆÖs actually one of the earliest moments I remember from my life. Sitting in my childhood room, I remember saying to myself, ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs nothing in here and nothing to do.ŌĆØ
Then life happened.
Action figures, baseball cards and clothes started to flow into that square living space. Then school ushered in returned homework assignments, reports and projects. Art classes created framed drawings, and basketball teams merited participation trophies.
The Lady Trojans volleyball team took out three years of frustration on the visiting Randleman Lady Tigers on Thursday.
Bandys, who had lost three straight years in the third round of the 2A playoffs, made sure it wouldn't happen four years in a row, topping Randleman in impressive fashion, 25-10, 25-9, 25-10, in Catawba.
"We've talked about the third round always shutting us down," said Bandys coach Randi Keith. "I think they just broke the curse. They really came in, made a statement and showed what they've got."
L. C. Mills, 89, of Newton, died Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2011. The Mills family has entrusted the funeral arrangements to Willis-Reynolds Funeral Home & Crematory in Newton.

The student who created the note confessed Thursday afternoon and has been suspended for 10 days.
Administrators locked down Jacobs Fork Middle School and the adjacent Fred T. Foard High School in Newton for nearly four hours after a Jacobs Fork student reported the note between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
Area law enforcement officers warn parents about the continued danger of trick-or-treating traffic accidents this Halloween season.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says children are four times more likely to be hit by a car on Halloween night ŌĆö an alarming figure that police say can be avoided through safety measures.
Catawba County Sheriff Coy Reid said familiar and low-traffic neighborhoods are the safest routes to travel for trick-or-treating.

The only downside was that there was only 1 thin blanket for bedding on the sofa bed, which meant for a bit of a cold night... otherwise would be without doubt 5*"

Gunmen in south Philippines kidnap 16, set demands
Police have said Perez and his men were former government militiamen who turned to banditry. They were accused of seizing the villagers in 2009 after two of Perez's relatives escaped arrest in connection with the killing of four members of a rival clan.
The 2009 hostages were freed several days later after intervention by Manobo tribal elders, and the gang leaders were arrested.
The restive southern Philippines is home to Muslim and communist rebels, and extortion and criminal activities are rampant.

Zab Judah 139 vs Lucas Matthysse 140 (IBF/WBO jr welterweight eliminator) l Robert Guerrero 133 vs Vicente Escobedo 134 l Sadam Ali 145 vs Gary Bergeron 143 l Adrien Broner 134.5 vs Ilido Julio 136.5 l Angel Concepcion 179 vs Maurice Amaro 173 l Mike Brooks 140.5 vs Kywame Hill 139
At most of Zab Judah fights you are bound to see a star-studded boxing crowd, and Saturday's phenomenal night of boxing is no exception. Iron Mike Tyson plans to be among the thousands of fans in attendance at Newark's Prudential Center Arena this coming Saturday night, Nov. 6th, to support his close friend and fellow Brooklynite Zab "Super" Judah. Undefeated Argentine knock-out artist Lucas Matthysse will put his perfect 27-0, 25 KO record on the line when he faces Judah in the main event of a show that also will feature ten big undercard bouts.
"I watched Zab in the Gym a few days ago and he looked spectacular--better than I ever seen him before," said the former Baddest Man on the Planet, "I will be at The Prudential Center sitting front and center to support my friend Zab."
Judah is also going to get some in-person support from another New York icon, Dwight "Doc" Gooden, the former NY Mets and NY Yankees pitching great. "I am so excited that Zab is back. I look forward to an entertaining night of boxing on Nov. 6 at Prudential Center.."
Also among the celebrities who plan to be in attendance is media personality, Wendy Williams.
Judah Takes Time to Visit MLK School in Newark
Former Undisputed Welterweight and Junior Welterweight Champion Zab "Super" Judah got up close and personal with students at Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School in Newark, Monday, November 1st, as part of a Main Events/Sovereign Enterprises School-Community Partnership program. Judah and three other professional fighters are slated to appear at Prudential Center on next Saturday's all-star HBO boxing card.
Designed to highlight career opportunities within the boxing community, the program began with a school assembly featuring Judah, Newark's Angel Concepcion, Brooklyn's former US Olympic Team standout Sadam Ali and Middletown's Tyrone Luckey. Winners of a school wide essay contest read their work and students were treated to a boxing video.
Judah was deeply moved by his experience with the MLK students. He advised the kids, "Don't let anybody tell you that you can't. You can be anything you want to be. Cream big!""On Saturday, Nov. 6th, Main Events and Zab Judah will host ten MLK students, who will be chosen based upon criteria set by MLK Principal, Dr. Glenn Wilson, when Judah takes on hard-punching Argentine knock out artist Lucas Matthysse. In addition to catching all the action at the fights, the students will tour the back of the house at the spectacular Newark arena, view the television set up, observe event preparations and walk through the locker room area to learn how a major event comes together in the final hours.
The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School is a place where students from diverse academic inclinations and backgrounds grow educationally, emotionally, and socially. The school provides students with meaningful avenues for exploration throughout their elementary school experience. The course offerings and extra-curricular activities are inimitable. MLK strives to create an atmosphere where each and every student is provided the attention necessary to achieve his/her individual success. The school's mission can only be accomplished by the growing cohesiveness of the educational staff, community based programs and stakeholder partnerships.
Internationally recognized as one of the top boxing promotional firms in the world Main Events, founded by Dan Duva in 1978, is based in Totowa, NJ. Now in its 31st year in the boxing business, Main Events promoted some of the biggest pay-per-view, closed-circuit and HBO Championships bouts of all time as the sport's number one incubator for new talent. More than 30 years after the company's birth, Main Events is still turning out boxing stars and future world champions.
Sovereign Enterprise is an initiative of four men of color that have combined their experience and expertise in the areas of professional sports, economic development and business management to build a long-term platform of education, health and financial wellness for people of color; especially those of African American and Hispanic descent.

TUTICORIN: A total of 22.76 million cubic metres has been dredged, as on July 25, in the Palk Bay, Palk Strait and Adam's Bridge areas for the Sethusamudram project, N. K. Raghupathy, Chairman and Managing Director of the Sethusamudram Corporation, has said.
With the help of various agencies, the Corporation was monitoring the environmental impact from dredging and dumping sites as well as 'shore points' such as Dhanushkodi, Muthupettai, Sethubavachatram, Manamelkudi, Gopalapattanam, the Shingle Island, Devil's Point and the Krusadai Island.
Data collected during the monitoring, done at an interval of four hours every day, was being reviewed periodically by the Environmental Monitoring Committee constituted by the Centre. The monitoring was meant to assess the quality of marine water, sediment and ambient air and noise level.
As part of the marine water quality assessment, Mr. Raghupathy said, pH value, salinity, turbidity and chemical properties were tested. The amount of suspended particulate matter, oxides of nitrogen, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide was being analysed. Under the sediment quality testing, the presence of heavy metals, organic matter, nutrients and flora and fauna was assessed.
The preparation of a detailed project report for developing fishing harbours, under the Sethu project, at Muthupet in Tiruvarur district, Sethubavachatram in Tanjore district and Thondi and Mookaiyar in Ramanathapuram district was nearing completion.

On Sunday, my roommate Katie and I went to the 9th Annual Brooklyn Book Festival, which was our first book festival ever. We knew there was no way I'd be able to do everything on my to-do list, but also we knew I'd have to give it my best shot. The numbers weren't on our side, a fact that I blame largely on the deficiencies of time travel research. We had 8 hours – minus breaks for the bathroom, coffee, and food – to visit approximately 930 booths and attend […]

Big-screened iPhone 6 might cost more than previous iPhones
Analysts predict that due to the increased size and therefore more expensive materials, the iPhone 6 will cost more than previous iPhones.
Some analysts have got together and decided that a bigger, better iPhone 6 that costs more to make will probably command a higher price tag if and when it launches.

The Things He Said Yesterday
Clarifying Glenn Beck's anti-Reform comment
Yesterday, when Fox News personality Glenn Beck compared Reform Judaism to "radicalized Islam" in the two "faiths'" emphasis on politics over religion, I joked about it. I don't regret that—I've tried anger before when dealing with far more explicitly and undeniably anti-Semitic comments made by Beck, and it's gotten me nowhere. And this was not as outrageous as the time Beck cited the avowedly anti-Semitic former prime minister of Malaysia to argue that George Soros maliciously controls the world's financial and currency systems. It's not even as bad as the time he said the Jews killed Jesus.
Beck basically sounds ignorant: "Reformed rabbis are generally political in nature," he says (it's Reform, not reformed, but that's more a symptom than an offense). "It's almost like Islam, radicalized Islam in a way, to where it is just—radicalized Islam is less about religion than it is about politics. When you look at the Reform Judaism, it is more about politics." Mark Pelavin, of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, clarified for me this morning that Beck's attack yesterday on Reform Judaism has less to do with his beef with Judaism and more to do with his beef with certain faiths that see social justice as part of their movements: "We are outraged and yet not surprised," Pelavin told me. "I think that his attack is of a piece with his attack on folks in the Christian community who have social justice as part of their ministries." He added, "There are plenty of people who get into public policy work because of their faith. It's their faith that compels them to take the positions they do. Beck fundamentally misunderstands the relationship between people's faiths and their religious beliefs."
Of course, there is still the part where he compared Reform Judaism to radical Islam. I'm sure Abe Foxman won't be on the case in no time.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx

Dolly Parton's people are billing this as the singer/actress's return to "mainstream country" following a three-album wander in the noncommercial wilds of bluegrass. It's easy to grasp what "mainstream country" means in this context: big choruses, rock guitars, cover art that depicts the legally blonde 62-year-old sprawled on a bed of hay in a microscopic leopard-print miniskirt. Yet calling this proudly idiosyncratic album a product of the mainstream doesn't seem quite right—compared to recent stuff by relatively conservative New Nashville superstars like Alan Jackson and Trisha Yearwood, Backwoods Barbie seems more like a willful exercise of artistic license inspired by Parton's recent founding of her own label. Put another way, were red-state America as delightfully free-spirited as Dolly is here, I'd be a lot less worried about Mike Huckabee's future in politics.
It all starts with the voice—that breathy, high-pitched infant-whinny that only time has taught us to not mistake for My Little Pony. Parton doesn't always crank up that affectation here—her singing in the title track, for example, is plainly gorgeous—but when she does, she really lays it on thick, delivering the first verse of "Better Get to Livin' " in an exaggerated stage whisper, as though divulging the secret recipe for the hush puppies at Dollywood. You also get left-field covers ("She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals), goofy puns ("I'm not the Dalai Lama, but I'll try to offer up a few words of advice"), and weirdly intricate descriptions of adultery that make cheating sound like far more work than it's worth ("Cologne"). Consider it proof that the middle of Dolly's road is hardly straight and narrow.

Full SteamOS Ahead!
Although its timetable may not always be ideal, Valve has come through for Linux users lately. Not only has it released a native Linux version of Steam (with many native games!), it also has expanded its Linux support as the basis for its standalone SteamBox. The first step toward a Steam-powered console is the operating system. Thankfully for nerds like me, Valve released its operating system (SteamOS) to the public.
SteamOS is in beta testing right now, and unfortunately at the time of this writing, it supports only NVIDIA graphics cards. That limits who can test the OS, but releasing the operating system at all is extremely exciting! Geeks have been creating their own XBMC boxes for years, and now we'll be able to create our own gaming consoles too.
(Image from http://www.steampowered.com)
If you haven't tried SteamOS yet, and if you have an NVIDIA graphics card, I urge you to go try it out (http://store.steampowered.com/steamos/buildyourown). Will the SteamBox finally bridge the gap between PC gaming and console gaming? Will its open-source roots help SteamOS become the dominant living room device? It's been a number of years, but Valve definitely has invested into the Linux community. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go shoot some zombies.
Shawn Powers is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal. You might find him chatting on the IRC channel, or Twitter
I built a SteamOS box last
I built a SteamOS box last weekend on a non UEFI system with an ATI 5700 based video card. Steam ran without a hiccup and many of the games worked perfectly. My son and I are still playing through X3 Terran Conflict.
Modern Cards
Yep, the modern drivers support the 5000 series and up on AMD and the 8000 series and up on the NVIDIA side. I hear that there are some intel graphics options, but I haven't checked into them in depth.
Linux rocks!
Personal blog: zootlinux.blogspot.com
RE: Nvidia only
Um. If the time of writing is, in fact, February 13th, 2014 - then the information displayed above is incorrect.
Valve released an update sometime around half a month to a month ago which added support for other graphics cards(or at least ATI/AMD)
Less than 24 hours after that update was released, I personally set up a machine that had an ATI Radeon HD 6750, which was detected and installed accordingly, and was reported correctly.
This "article" introduces zero fresh news, and the writer hasn't even done their research before writing it. Absolutely thumbs down.
I'm sure Shawn had it right
I'm sure Shawn had it right at the time of writing.
This article was in the February magazine. That issue would be covering news from mid-December to mid-January and then selected, edited, going to digital typesetting, then uploading/distribution etc by the beginning of February.
Legacy Video Cards
For those without UEFI boards, there has been some work done to create a bootable DVD instead of having to use the original install instructions. It's available here:
There's also Ye Olde SteamOSe, a community re-spin of the build-your-own image which provided much of the groundwork for Steam's unofficial DVD release:
I'm really looking forward to checking out the Steam Controller, which is more or less only available to SteamBox beta people at this point.
Have you had any luck getting SteamOS to install on older video cards? It appears that the OS is pretty tightly integrated with the latest nvidia and AMD binary drivers, and I'm not in possession of a video card that's new enough to qualify, since the NVIDIA 7000 series was "legacied" in the most recent driver release.
I have an XFX Fata1ty 7600GT, a 7600GS, and a Radeon X1900Pro. They're all to old to ride the SteamOS train. Boo.
Linux rocks!

I've upgraded from W7 to W8 (both 64-bit). I have noticed very minimal (if any) difference in most of my games. The one thing I have noticed is internet throughput is a lot worse in W8, especially latency in speed tests. Rather than do a fresh install to see if it fixes it, I'm going to switch back to W7 for personal reasons.

Career highlights and awards
George Allen Frazier (born October 13, 1954 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma), is a former professional baseball player who pitched in the Major Leagues from 1978–1987, primarily as a set-up reliever.
Frazier played high school baseball as a member of "the Hornets", which is the name of the teams at Hillcrest High School in Springfield, Missouri. Frazier was offered a college scholarship in baseball, football, and basketball.
In 1981 while with the Yankees, Frazier tied a World Series record (with Lefty Williams) with 3 losses. Williams, however, is widely suspected to have thrown those games in the 1919 World Series (as part of the Black Sox Scandal), and furthermore, the third game Williams lost was Game Eight - the Series of 1919 through 1921 were best of nine affairs, leaving Frazier as the only pitcher to lose three games in a best of seven World Series.
Frazier later appeared in the 1987 World Series as a member of the Twins.
Frazier currently serves as a television commentator for the Colorado Rockies organization. His son, Parker Frazier was drafted in the eighth round of the 2007 MLB Draft by the Colorado Rockies.[citation needed]
Frazier is a Hall of Fame pitching coach.

"Quality was great. Arrived on time. Have had many compliments on the invite! Would highly recommend them. I loved that the envelope provided was not square - this saved me money in mailing costs!"
"I was very pleased with my order. My fiancé and I wanted something different for our invitations for our engagement party and decided this one was perfect because we can have our picture included. The layout was very simple and all of the information we wanted to include fit perfectly. We used the free designer to preview our invitations before printing them and they responded very quickly after placing the order. I received my invitations earlier than quoted and I am very pleased with them! Exactly how they were pictured online. Will be using this website for future stationary!!"
"We ordered the invitation in red to match our wedding colors. I had originally ordered a sample & my fiance & I didn't even feel the need to look at additional invitations. The print & paper quality is amazing (I wouldnt expect anything less from Wedding Paper Divas; I ordered my sister's bachelorette party invitaions through this website & they were too cute). I left the fonts as is except I removed the print from the back of the card. I couldn't have asked for a better engagement party invitation =) I can't wait to hear what the recepiants have to say about them."
"I got many compliments on our engagement party invitations (how nice, the paper quality and concept). It was also easy to use when upload the picture you wanted. If certain pictures chosen looked unclear (resolution), I was immediately advised by the customer service rep."
"Loved the finished product! While others commented black was too dark I thought it was amazing! Just sent the invites out today so don't know the reaction yet but the people I've shown it to at work absolutely loved it!"

Madonna is nominated for Most Anticipated Album of 2012. Vote: Readers' Poll: Vote For 2011's Best & Worst
Vanity Fair (Spain, November)
Thanks to MadonnaMexico
DETAILS: You married Madonna when you were still a fledgling director and she was the most famous woman in the world. What was that adjustment like?
Guy Ritchie: I don't know. By the way, I enjoyed my first marriage. It's definitely not something I regret. The experience was ultimately very positive. I love the kids that came out of it, and I could see no other route to take. But you move on, don't you? You're right, I stepped into a soap opera, and I lived in it for quite a long period of my life. I'll probably be more eloquent on it 10 years from now.
DETAILS: What did you learn from that marriage?
Guy Ritchie: When you end up with a lot of the things you set out to chase and find that you've stumbled into all sorts of hollow victories, then you become deeply philosophical. I'm quite happy that that experience was accelerated for me. I'm glad I made money, in other words. And I'm glad I got married.

The White Rock Lake Festival is Canceled Because Wind Blows
We just got word from one of the organizers of the White Rock Lake Festival that the concert and food truck event scheduled this weekend has been called off an account of the high winds, proving my theory that "wind blows."
In his own words:
I'm sorry to say but the Festival this weekend is canceled due to rain on Sunday and the wind today was blowing over porta pottys and forecast says the wind will be twice as strong tomorrow.
The stage company said 25 plus mile an hour wind would take the stage down the way it is right beside a lake.
Setting up today and the wind was really howling ... when it comes across that entire lake from the south it almost knocks a guitar out of your arms.
So sad.
We are going to look at a reschedule next year.
Don't be sad. It's OK.

She's been flaunting her figure to the maximum lately.
And now friends of Sam Faiers have revealed that her weight loss and new size 8 body is part of a secret mission to win her ex, Joey Essex, back.
The TOWIE star has been following a strict no carbs and alcohol diet in a bid to lose even more weight so that she looks her best for when Joey leaves the I'm a Celebrity jungle where he's been flirting with beauty queen Amy Willerton.
Just yesterday Sam, 23, shared two very revealing photos of her svelte new body from the set of a photoshoot.
[Chloe Sims calls Sam Faiers 'a bully']
[Sam Faiers denies telling Amy Willerton to back off]
The snaps, which showed Sam in her underwear, revealed the extent of her weight loss which has taken her down to nine stone.
She shared the first photo of herself in black underwear with the caption: "9 days no alcohol, no carbs & training."
But sources close to Sam have said her motivation has been Joey.
A friend told Closer: "Sam won't admit it but she's been dieting for Joey as well as for herself. She thinks Amy is exactly the type of girl he wants, but Sam still loves Joey and wants to look incredible for him when he comes out of the jungle."
The source continuedL: "Sam is determined to look her best in her bikini. Even in Dubai she was doing 500 sit-ups a day. She's been training with a personal trainer three times a week and has been doing interval training. Her focus right now is on looking incredible for when Joey returns - she wants to win him back."
She's been flaunting her figure to the maximum lately.

Action plan tackles fall in demand, environmental challenges and unfair competition with focus on cost-cutting and innovation.
The EU is the second-largest producer of steel worldwide, accounting for 11% of global output and employing over 360 000 people.
But times are hard. Demand has fallen with the global economic downturn, energy costs continue to rise, many raw materials must be imported, competition is often unfair and meeting environmental requirements can be expensive.
With global demand forecast to increase by 2025, it is in Europe's interests to help the industry become more competitive. A newly released EU Commission action plan for the European steel industry tackles 7 key areas:
The EU will assess the regulatory burden on the steel industry, checking that EU laws are not creating extra costs.
Boosting demand
The construction and automotive sectors account for around 40% of demand between them, and both have been hit by the economic crisis. Two EU initiatives will stimulate these sectors (CARS2020 and Sustainable Construction).
Fair competition
Some non-EU countries have introduced barriers to EU exports, or incentives for their own exports, giving an unfair advantage to their own companies. The EU will continue to negotiate free-trade agreements with non-EU countries, and challenge unfair practices.
Bringing down energy costs
Energy accounts for around 40% of the costs of producing steel, and European companies pay more than most of their competitors. The EU's plan to interlink its energy market will increase competition and lower costs.
Climate policy
Clear environmental rules would encourage the investment needed to adapt to greener technologies. The Commission will promote best practices, but countries must also look into national polices affecting prices and set aside funding for energy efficiency projects.
Between 2014 and 2020, almost €18 billion in EU funding will be available for strengthening industrial leadership in innovation through the Horizon 2020 research programme.
Support during restructuring
The steel sector has already lost 40 000 jobs through restructuring. There are funds in place to help those affected and to ensure that key skills are retained. As the steel workforce is ageing, the industry also needs to attract young and creative people.
A group will be set up to monitor progress in the areas above, and the Commission will take stock of progress in 12 months.

Sightmark, a world wide leader in the development and distribution of night vision and sporting optics, stay true to their one simple mission; to produce high quality optics at affordable prices. Their items are lightweight, compact, and quite durable. Extreme care is taken in the construction and design of each optic, and special attention is paid to the art and physics of optical science. This level of quality control ensures that each device is a joy to hold, use, and look through.
Sightmark's 8.5-25x50 Tactical Riflescope features multicoated all-glass lens elements housed in an aluminum 30mm main-tube. This affordable riflescope has been nitrogen purged for water and fog proof performance so your sight picture will remain clear and unobstructed during dynamic weather conditions.
The precision adjustments on this Sightmark offer 1/8 MOA corrections via audible and tactile click-stops. The turrets also feature a unique locking system to keep your settings where you put them during intense levels of activity.
The reticle is a Mil-Dot type, for calculating distances to a target of a known size, and you can adjust the brightness levels to suit ambient lighting conditions.
To use a riflescope with your firearm, you'll need a mounting base and mounting rings in addition to the scope itself. Bases attach to your firearm and rings attach to your scope. By affixing the scope mounted rings to the rifle mounted base you create a reliable accurate, and secure sighting system. Proper spacing of the rings, as well as the ring height should be considered to ensure a proper line of sight can be established. This will maximize the value of your investment, and enhance your shooting experience. It should be noted that in many mounting applications, a professional gunsmith's skills will be needed for proper installation.
- 30mm One-piece aluminum main tube
- Parallax adjustable from 10 yd to infinity
- 1/8 MOA precision adjustments with locking turrets
- Nitrogen purged for water and fog proof performance
- Wide band AR multicoating for a clear view in difficult lighting
- Illuminated Mil-Dot Reticle
The Mil-Dot reticle assists the shooter in determining the distance to a target of a known size. Accurate bullet drop corrections can be calculated by employing the Mil-Dot ranging system.
The illumination feature is user-adjustable with 11 brightness levels.

That part where we were just recapping what took place in Section III football the previous week is over.
Now it's time to analyze where we are, everywhere, looking ahead to the final regular-season weekend and how the Section III playoffs will look.
We'll go division-by-division, starting with the lower classes and moving up to the large schools...
D East - Dolgeville erased the suspense about the top spot a while ago, and now is just a victory over Mohawk from regular-season perfection, something no other Class D team in the section can claim.
Needless to say, with four shutouts the defense carries the Blue Devils most of the way. Beaver River's win at Mohawk secured the second automatic playoff berth, but a team under .500 could reach the post-season, too.
D Central - New York Mills nearly squandered momentum on Saturday, needing a late TD pass from Jimmy Fellone to Fred Russ to survive West Canada 28-27 and get to 5-1 on the season.
Cooperstown has that same mark, but the Marauders' head-to-head win over the Redskins in September means that Mills is likely to get first place and a first-round game at home. Oriskany, by whacking Morrisville-Eaton, may sneak into a berth, too.
D West - Just four teams, but they're all quite good. Onondaga pulled out that huge win at Weedsport, 19-14, and is a win from the regular-season title.
The Warriors, in fact, have slid all the way to third place after Sandy Creek's late charge. It would take something crazy to keep Weedsport out of the playoffs, but keep an eye on the Comets. They're playing as good as anyone now.
C East - It's been Ilion from the moment they kicked off. Six wins in six weeks for the Golden Bombers as it has outscored foes a combined 255-55, and all led by the unstoppable Jon Treen, whose latest show included five touchdowns against Utica-Notre Dame.

Join Blowjobs Babes
One of the most unique things about a chick is how she sucks dick. Every gal has her own style and technique and you can check out lots of them on Blowjobs Babes. There's more than one way to suck cock the right way.
BlowjobsBabes has 465 videos that you can download in parts and as full-length flicks. They're often available as MP4 and Windows Media files and offer good-quality playback. I also spied one HD movie. Their lengths vary wildly, as some are only eight minutes long, while others clock in at almost an hour. Everything on the site is nonexclusive, but at least there are a good number of films.
The scenes mostly stay on target as far as being fixated on oral sex. True, some ladies throw a handjob or titjob into the mix and you'll also see girls tease the guys by rubbing their pussies or asses on their hard cocks. There's even some full-on fucking, but rest assured that every video brings you sizzling blowjobs.
There are also about 254 photos galleries as well as sets of vid caps. You can download almost every gallery in a Zip file and there are many high-res photos to discover. You can view them in slideshows, which lets you take care of business while you watch them flash by on your screen.
There's a good variety of models, so in addition to all the white chicks that you're used to seeing in porn, you'll also spot some ebony and Asian gals. And there are extra videos to check out and a ton of bonus sites, including Adorable Legs, Anal Fuck Thrills, Stocking Sex Videos and Sex Toys Porno. All the websites are available through All Porn Sites Pass.
As you can see, there is quite a bit of bonus material to keep your eyes and hands busy. I do need to forewarn you that the bonuses overlap rather heavily, so you'll see a few repeats across the sites. Also, this site stopped updating for a time, but is now back to posting new material once every two weeks.
Blowjobs Babes has some problems, but the site still gives you a lot of material for a fairly standard price. It's worth a look if you love to watch cute chicks suck dick and don't mind nonexclusive content.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Famous last tweets captured for posterity
Published on Feb 16, 2013 5:49 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Someone's famous last words are now likely to be famous last tweets.
A blog launched this week, thetweethereafter.com, captures some of those final 140-character comments as part of an unusual tribute to the newly departed.
"What do you have up your sleeve for your love tomorrow??? #getexcited #ValentinesDay," was the final message from Reeva Steenkamp, the model and girlfriend of South African Olympic star Oscar Pistorius, who was killed in a Valentine's Day shooting in which her boyfriend is charged.
Mr Michael McWatters, a technology professional, said he had been collecting these tweets with colleague Mr Jamie Forrest, "not sure whether our project was something we really wanted to announce formally or not". But he said the "grim tragedy" in South Africa prompted them to make the site public.

Payback time for PH hoops heartaches
URGED on by the ringleader of the last team to use the Fiba Asia Championship as a stepping stone to the World Cup, Jimmy Alapag won some measure of payback for Philippine basketball.
Alapag nailed two crucial triples in the stretch as Gilas Pilipinas hammered out an inspiring 86-79 victory over long-time tormentor South Korea Saturday night.
It was a sweet victory for the Philippines, which finally got some measure of revenge over a country that had been the cause of basketball heartaches in the past. But for Alapag, payback was even bigger.
"It was payback for the Philippines in international basketball," said the 35-year-old Gilas captain. "I think we continued to fight and fight and continued to keep knocking on the door of the upper echelon of Asian basketball."
In the enormity of the accomplishment, Alapag managed to thank one person who was among those who inspired him in this moment of glory.
"I saw Sen. [Robert] Jaworski after the game and I just thanked him because it meant a lot for him to come to our practice before this tournament started," he said.
Jaworski, the captain of the 1973 team that won the Fiba Asia Championship at home to make it to the Worlds, visited a Gilas Pilipinas practice a couple of days before the championship to give the team an inspirational message.
After that, Jaworski sought out Alapag and left him with a passing-of-the-torch moment that will be forever etched in the Talk 'N Text star's memory.
"You know Jimmy, it's going to take the heart and soul of everybody on this team to win this tournament," Jaworski told Alapag. "That's what you're known for. So lead these guys and get the job done."
When the two captains crossed paths again, they shared a handshake.
"He just kept saying 'I told you so' with a big smile," recounted Alapag.
