Hi there ErrorS,
I hate to say this but I must. As much as I would like to agree with what u say u have made some comments that I believe are incorrect.
1. Ati support technicians or the likes have been present on Rage3D for example... helping people out with their problems. The response has been really positive from the Rage3D members and from many other people as well so in a way they have upped the level of support which is a welcome sign.
2.The Geforce 1 had nothing in the amount of problems that the Ati8500 had and this is from personal experience and from many others.
3.The AGP 8x deal is more serious than u think. The problem seems to stem from clocked frequencies being too high and not being stable as well. The bios for the Ati9700 apparently downs the operating frequencies to bring stability. I realize that there have been power issues but this is not just a simple bios fix, it is a problem in the sense that people paying $350 for a video card should be able to have the card working at the advertised clock speeds etc...
4.The Ati is for people that want to be able to run games with 4x AA and 16x anis(more or less) and to be able to have playable frames even at high resolutions 1024 and above. In these cases the 9700 is significantly faster, and by and large margin.
5.The drivers on the other hand have improved a lot but are still nowhere near where they should be. This is with the released driver and the beta driver.
Please understand this is not a flame just a correction that many people can attest to.
(excuse any bad spelling if there is)
This info has been publically made known by many Ati9700 owners and the likes. I am also not against Ati nor am I an NVLOVER or NVIDIOT. I am open to peoples opinions but sometimes the facts are too hard to ignore.
This just my $0.02.
well I just recently bought a Radeon8500 so I dunno how the problems were 1st hand (i did follow rage3d message boards extremely closely though) .. but I did buy a GF1 SDR like 3 days after release.. it looked like crap in all games and ran like crap in most games... I can say for a fact GF1 was an unstable POS .. sure the card was fast, but was nothing in term of that feeling of "completeness" my Voodoo3 had.. cant explain that feeling or back it up with any kind of hard proof.. games just felt better on my V3 (except for halflife)
now about the tech support.. ok, this is Radeon9700 .. their brand new card.. I'm a radeon1 owner, I have e-mailed ATi for support numerous times with no responce.. same with my new Radeon8500, no support.. Driver fixes? all for Radeon9000 and Radeon9700 .. this might seem fine, but what happens when ATi releases R350? You might lose that hardcore support you're getting for your radeon9700 now.. the ONLY support people are getting are 2-3 individuals who worked on the Radeon9700 using their own time to help people out.. it doesn't mean ATi has good support..
and sorry for mentioning the AGP8X issue when in all reality i knew nothing about it .. I thought I saw somewhere a new BIOS would fix it.. guess I was wrong?
and please cut that disclaimer about you being neither an nvidiot or fanatic .. and the "I'm not flaming you or being rude!"
I've seen the light and it's somewhere in between ATi and nVidia .. screw being a fanboy
and to reply to Gator..
I agree with you about the Radeon1 being a great card.. I bought a Radeon8500.. it was nice but didnt have that same feeling my Radeon64MB VIVO did.. even physically the card felt less complete then my radeon1 ..
1. The 2d IQ was worse then my Radeon1
2. Quake3/3dmark(Dragon test) skies and other games that user smaller textures (causing any graphical quality problems to show up easier) just looked horrible..
3. FSAA was BLURY .. i hated R8500's FSAA
dont get me wrong.. Radeon8500 is overall alot better then my Radeon1 ... but still, it seems like each generation video card manufactuars cut some corners to make sure their card is noticebly faster..
ok .. apologies if i sounded retarded in this post.. i really need some sleep.. heh

Germany vs. Italy: Match Preview and Analysis
Germany vs. Italy: Match Preview and Analysis
Germany vs. Italy: Match Preview and Analysis
By Ryan Stetson
Germany vs. Italy
Odds: Germany -125, Italy +330, Draw +225
Total: 2.5, Over +123, Under -179
About Germany
FIFA ranking: No. 3
Germany has looked every bit the part as the tournament's co-favorites along with Spain. They have won each of their first four matches in the competition and took it up a notch in the quarterfinals against Greece.
After controlling the play from the outset, Germany was deadlocked in a 1-1 draw after halftime with Greece before exploding with three goals to advance with a 4-2 victory.
Germany was concerned about Bastian Schweinsteiger's status after he suffered an ankle injury but coach Joachim Loew says he is fit for the semifinal.
The main choice Loew has in front of him again is whether to start Mario Gomez or Miroslav Klose up front. Gomez has scored three times in the tournament, but he gave way for Klose against Greece and the veteran responded with a goal.
About Italy
FIFA ranking: No. 12
Italy slipped past England in a shootout in the quarterfinals, but were easily the best side throughout the match. The Azzurri enjoyed 64 percent of the possession and had 35 attempts on goal compared to just nine for England.
Andrea Pirlo was easily the best player on the pitch, completing a game-high 131 passes and delivering a cheeky chip goal in the shootout. The 33-year-old should see a lot of physical German midfielder Sami Khedira in this one.
"They are a very strong team, but we know we can beat them, Pirlo told reporters. "We have studied them today and we'll do so again in these next two days."
Italy has some significant injury concerns with Daniele De Rossi, Ignazio Abate and Giorgio Chiellini all struggling to get fit in time for the game. Meanwhile, right back Christian Maggio won't play due to suspension.
Tactics and formations:
After giving a 3-5-2 formation a go earlier in the tournament, the Italians look much more comfortable back with the 4-3-1-2 that has Pirlo dictating the play. After a strong performance against England, there's probably no question that Mario Balotelli will be back in the starting 11. With the rest of the injury concerns, naming the rest of the starters requires a lot of guesswork.
Possible lineup: Buffon, Abate, Barzagli, Bonucci, Balzaretti, Pirlo, Marchisio, Nocerino, Motta, Balotelli, Cassano
Germany won't change from the 4-2-3-1 formation that's worked so well. Lukas Podolski was replaced by André Schürrle on the left flank and Marco Reus started on right wing at the expense of Tomas Müller against Greece and that's likely what we'll see here.
Possible lineup: Neuer, Boateng, Hummels, Badstuber, Lahm, Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Reus, Ozil, Schürrle, Gomez.

TAURUS (April 20May 20): On a song from his multi-platinum album Get Rich or Die Tryin', hip-hop artist 50 Cent sings, "I'm into having sex, I ain't into making love." Your assignment, Taurus, is to do the opposite: Be into making love, not having sex. What? You say you already do that all the time? Well, I'd like to suggest that like most of us, you still have a lot to learn about making love with your heart completely open and your mind full of innocent wonder. There's more you could do to bestow blessings and invoke the divine presence while in your intimate embraces. Are you brave and humble enough to go to the next level? (PS: If you don't have a partner, work solo.)
GEMINI (May 21June 20): For years, the walls of many public restrooms were inscribed with the graffiti "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." Recently, my Gemini friend Ross made it his mission to spread a mutated version of that meme. He has personally decorated scores of bathroom walls with the saying "A Gemini needs emotions like a fish needs a bicycle." He thinks your tribe can function just fine without the messy complications that emotions bring. I disagree. Though you certainly don't need to wallow in the swampy tumult that some people seem addicted to, you do periodically require the humanizing effect of deep, mysterious, overwhelming feelings. This is one of those times.

CANCER (June 21July 22): If you're fully alive, the answer to the question "What is the meaning of life?" keeps evolving. Last century's or last year's truth can't possibly be true for the person you are changing into. So what's the answer for you these days? Only you can decide, of course, but I'll offer a suggestion based on my astrological analysis. It's from philosopher Tom Morris. "The meaning of life," he says, "is creative love. Not love as an inner feeling, not as a private sentimental emotion, but love as a dynamic power moving out into the world and doing something original."
LEO (July 23Aug. 22): Legendary underwater explorer Sylvia Earle was named a "Hero of the Planet" by Time magazine in recognition of her pioneering efforts to preserve marine sanctuaries. Because she holds so many diving records and has spent so many hours submerged in the ocean, she is known as "Her Deepness." You should consider making this practical idealist your role model in the coming weeks, Leo. Her adventures are perfect metaphors for the work you should pursue: bold excursions into the intriguing abyss, devoted cultivation of the beauty that lies below, and in-depth care for your life's submerged mysteries. (PS: Do you mind if I refer to you as "Your Deepness"?)
VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22): If you'd like to be in harmony with cosmic rhythms, Virgo, spend quality time thinking about the future of your education. I'm not just referring to plans for school. You should ruminate about which people you'd like to learn from and how to hone your listening skills. You should take inventory of what subjects excite your curiosity and what training you'll need to fulfill your dreams. I also urge you to freshen up your mind by emptying it of at least 10 of your entrenched opinions. Now write this gem from William Butler Yeats on a piece of paper, and carry it with you till December 1: "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."
LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 22): The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's best-known novel, was not the author's first choice as a title. He wanted to call it Trimalchio in West Egg, but was overruled by an editor. Similarly, Gone With the Wind was originally Tomorrow Is Another Day. Valley of the Dolls was They Don't Build Statues to Businessmen. And my book The Televisionary Oracle was initially called A Feminist Man's Guide to Picking Up Women. I hope that hearing of these shifts inspires you to rename your own life story, Libra. The events of recent months have changed your long-term plotlines so much that you really do need a new title.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): "A new idea is delicate," wrote author Charles Brower. "It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a joke or worried to death by a frown on the right person's brow." And that's exactly why you should be so protective of your fresh approaches and budding innovations this week, Scorpio. They may ultimately evolve into breathtaking brainstorms if they're given room to grow. Don't discuss them with anyone except sensitive people who respect you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): "This is what I believe," wrote D.H. Lawrence. "That my soul is a dark forest. That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. That gods come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. That I must have the courage to let them come and go. That I will try always to recognize and submit to them." I'm hoping this passage inspires you in two ways, Sagittarius. First, you're in especially close touch with the deepest sources of your life, so it's an excellent time to write your own creed, beginning with the phrase "This is what I believe." Secondly, more gods than usual are coming forth into the clearing of your known self, and they're uncommonly willing to give you juicy clues. Pay close attention to their whispers and screams.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): "True beauty doesn't reveal itself until the winds of time have had their say," says graphic designer Todd Dominey. "Beauty is in the cracks, the worn spots, and the imperfect lines." Your assignment, Capricorn, is to be on high alert for this phenomenon. In fact, I urge you to avoid being seduced by fresh, shiny beauty. It would distract you from the more hard-to-find stuffthe worn, imperfect, cracked beauty that alone can feed your soul right now.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Conventional wisdom says the best problems are those that place us under duress. There's supposedly no gain without pain; stress allegedly helps us call on resources that have been previously dormant. I partly agree. But I also believe that pain frequently generates no gain. We can easily get addicted to mediocre problems that drag on and on without rousing our sleeping genius. There is, furthermore, another class of problemlet's call it the delightful dilemmathat neither feeds on nor generates angst. On the contrary, the delightful dilemma is fun and invigorating, and blooms when we're feeling at home in the world. Imagine a life for yourself, Aquarius, in which the majority of your quandaries match this profile. Try out the theory that your most useful problems come when joy is your predominant state of mind.
PISCES (Feb. 19March 20): Leo Alard was the first Hispanic to become an Episcopal bishop in the U.S. His pioneer spirit emerged early on. As a young priest in the 1960s, he headed a racially integrated parish in Chattahoochee, Florida. The bigots of the KKK didn't look favorably on his work, and on one occasion they burned a cross on the church lawn. Alard, who was supervising a youth group on that particular night, brought the class out and had everyone toast marshmallows over the fire. I urge you to regard Alard as your hero in the coming week, Pisces, and imitate his genius. Capitalize fiercely on every apparent setback, making full use of playful humor and resourceful unpredictability.

The jury's verdict did more than find nine police officers and the city responsible for May Molina's death, the Chicago Tribune reported. Jurors said police response to prisoners who need medical treatment after arrest violates their constitutional rights.
Jurors reached their verdict late Monday after 20 hours of deliberations.
Molina, 55, a community activist, died 30 hours in a police station lockup 30 hours after her arrest on a drug charge.
Jon Loevy, the lawyer for Molina's family, said they rejected settlement offers because they were hoping to show systematic problems.
"This family decided they wanted to prove what happened, and they won," Loevy said. "It's an extraordinary case. ... It means the city will have to change."
Lawyers for the city argued Molina swallowed packets of heroin before her arrest, causing her own death. The family said she suffered from asthma and diabetes and police after her arrest ignored warnings she needed medication.

Nicolai Poliakoff (Poliakovs) ('Coco the Clown') (1900-1974), Circus performer; known for performing as Coco the clown
Sitter in 3 portraits
While the circus was principally a children's entertainment it held an enduring appeal for artists, photographers and film-makers who identified with the romantic image of skilled performers at the margins of society. Nickolai Polakovs was a Jewish Latvian who was apprenticed to the celebrated Russian clown Lazernko and went on to manage his own circus. Escaping the hardships of the Russian Revolution to join Circus Busch in Berlin he was spotted by Bertram Mills and persuaded to move to England. During the Second World War he entertained troops as a member of ENSA. In 1960 he was involved in a serious road accident prompting him to devote himself to the promotion of road safety awareness in children.

Palace stands by De Lima comment on Quezon shooting
MANILA, Philippines – Malacañang on Friday stood by the pronouncement of Justice Secretary Leila de Lima that the Jan. 6 operation in Atimonan, Quezon, was not a shootout, debunking the claim of Superintendent Hansel Marantan and relieved police officials of Southern Tagalog.
Undersecretary Abigail Valte, a Palace spokesperson, rejected insinuations that De Lima was authorized by the Palace to preempt the outcome of the investigation.
"I don't think that the secretary is preempting the investigation. The media also that were there would also want details owing to their coverage," said Valte at a briefing in the Palace.
"And we trust that Secretary De Lima is also on hand to provide the proper guidance to the investigation," she added.
Asked whether De Lima was already jumping the gun on investigators of the National Bureau of Investigation when she claimed that it was not "shootout," Valte said: "Well, there are other things that need to be settled also and, again, as I reiterated earlier, Secretary De Lima is really in a better position to speak about the details of the ongoing investigation."
Valte also found nothing wrong with the presence of the justice chief during a reenactment Thursday of the killing of 13 people which now appears to have been killed in cold blood.
She appeared elated that President Benigno Aquino III's initial impression – that there were "inconsistencies" between the claim of a shootout by Marantan's group and what was later found at the crime scene – was somewhat validated.
Valte, however, preferred that the Department of Justice or the NBI to be the one to make a conclusion on the killings.
"We will wait for the contents of the final report [of the investigators] before we make any comment on the details that have been coming out in the media lately since the event happened," she said.
Marantan, Chief Superintendent James Melad, the relieved chief of the Calabarzon police, and Supt. Glenn Dumlao, commander of the Regional Public Safety Battalion of the Calabarzon police, have maintained that "Coplan Armado"(case operation plan) was approved by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission on October 24.
Said Valte: "Again, let's wait for the conclusions of the investigators themselves. I understand that the personnel of the PAOCC are there at the NBI to submit their affidavits in support of the investigation as ordered by the Executive Secretary."
Told that Marantan's lawyer was questioning the presence of the DOJ chief at the reenactment, when the NBI was the only one tasked to investigate, Valte said: "That's splitting hairs already. That's irrelevant because, as everybody knows, the NBI is under the supervision of the Department of Justice, which is headed by Secretary De Lima."
Valte advised Marantan and his lawyer "to cooperate with the investigation rather than attack the Secretary of Justice personally."
Valte maintained that De Lima was "in a better position" to make the observation, "primarily owing to her proximity to the investigation."
"As far as we are concerned, if those are the concerns of Supt. Marantan, if those are their concerns, then again, we always go back to what we have been saying that they can always cooperate to present their side of the story.
"I understand that they were asked to give an affidavit; they have turned over one of the slugs. Further cooperation is needed if they want to get their side of the story into the investigation," said Valte.

Age of Mythology
- Platforms: PC
- Developer: Ensemble
- Publisher: Microsoft
- Genre: Real-Time, Strategy
- VN:F [1.9.22_1171]User Score: 0 votes
- Add to MyGames
Age of Mythology preserves the familiar elements popular in previous Age of Empires games. Wonders, civilization bonuses, technology trees, resource gathering, empire building, and large armies clashing on fields of battle are all at the heart of the game. At the same time, a number of entirely new gameplay features are introduced, making for a fresh, original experience:
Age of Mythology features a 36 scenario singleplayer campaign designed by the same team that received the 2000 Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences award for story and character development. The campaign allows players to take part in an epic mythological tale, inspired by a number of popular myths. The player will guide his forces everywhere ranging from the siege at Troy, to the pyramids in Egypt, to the snow covered mountains in the North, to the mythological underworld. As progress is made through the singleplayer campaign, parts of the story are presented using in-game cinematic interludes, featuring the actual units being played with (and the environments played in) to tell the tale
Age of Mythology's revolutionary 3D engine provides the game with gorgeous environments featuring lifelike rolling terrain, beautiful waves and water, realistic sunlight, and lush forests. The units roaming these environments are incredibly detailed, move naturally over the terrain, and come to life through hundreds of fluid animations. Amazing special effects change the look of this beautiful world when the gods get involved: all grows dark as an eclipse takes effect, funnel clouds twist and grow as a tornado sends buildings spinning toward the heavens, and meteors streak in from the heavens to send people and armies at the point of impact flying

Age of Mythology
This is truly a great extension of the Age of Empires series, worthy of the Microsoft stamp. I had loads of fun playing this game, and I assure you, once you've started playing the campaign, you can't stop playing it untill the end. The only downside is the multiplayer, but with some effort, Ensemble Studios can fix that too.

NAO rechargeable headlamp with REACTIVE LIGHTING by Petzl [english]
Petzl NAO Headlamp 2014
Rechargeable headlamp with self-adjusting lighting. The rechargeable NAO headlamp adapts its two high power LEDs instantly and automatically to the lighting needs for greater comfort, fewer manual interventions and longer battery life.
Top Features of the Petzl NAO Headlamp 2014
- Advantages of self-adjusting Reactive Lighting Technology:
- Adapted Lighting: The shape of the beam and the power of the headlamp instantly adapt to the need (lighting for close, medium or long-range vision), so the user always has the right amount of light.
- A minimum of manual adjustments: The headlamp automatically adapts to changes in surrounding light conditions, allowing the user to remain focused on the activity at hand without worrying about adjusting the headlamp.
- Longer burn times: Reactive Lighting technology increases burn time, due to more efficient use of the rechargeable battery. Lighting adapts to suit the need, reducing the use of wasteful, unnecessarily powerful lighting.
- The first Petzl headlamp with Reactive Lighting technology.
- Specifications
- Watertightness : IP X4, weather resistant
- Recharge time : 5 h
- Technology : REACTIVE LIGHTING or CONSTANT LIGHTING
- Beam pattern : wide, mixed
- Energy : Lithium-Ion 2600 mAh rechargeable battery (included) or 2 AAA/LR03 batteries (not included)
Product Data
|Weight (g):
|Battery Type:
|Battery Included:
|Battery Level Light:
|Bulb Type:
|Output (Lumens):
Reactive Lighting technology is a revolution in hands-free lighting. A built-in light sensor adapts the headlamp's beam pattern and light output instantly and automatically to suit the user's needs. This means the user gets an ideal amount of light with minimal manual adjustment required. This self-adjusting lighting mode also results in longer burn times, due to more efficient use of the rechargeable battery.
Specification information
|Reactive Lighting: Technology
|Self-adjusting lighting: The integrated light sensor is oriented in the same direction as the eyes; it measures and analyzes reflected light in order to instantly and automatically adjust the headlamp's beam pattern (wide and/or focused) and light output to the user's needs.
|For proximity lighting: When looking at an object at close range, for example when reading a map, tying a knot or setting up a tent, the beam is very wide and less powerful. Lighting adjusts automatically to the distance of the object
|For Mobility: When walking, running, etc., the beam is wide and has medium strength in order to illuminate obstacles in the path.
|For distance vision: When raising the head to see into the distance, looking for a trail marker or an anchor on a climb, for example, the light output increases and becomes more focused.
About Head Torches
No matter what you're doing at night, you can do it better with both hands free! A head torch just lights up the area where you're looking. The new LED models are bright enough for walking or close working and the batteries last for ages. They're also really lightweight. The models with conventional bulbs can be brighter and throw a more focussed beam so they're good for riding or activities where you need to see a bit further.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Georgia went through all of last season
without a 100-yard runner.
Of course, the Bulldogs didn't have Danny Ware then.
Making quite a college debut, Ware rushed for 135 yards and
three touchdowns to lead Georgia (No. 4 ESPN/USAToday; No. 3) to a 48-28 victory over
Georgia Southern on Saturday.
"The whole experience has not set in yet," he said. "I'll
have to go home and watch ESPN."
Ware was the first freshman running back to start his first game
at Georgia since 1943. Not even Herschel Walker could make that
"People have compared me to Herschel Walker," Ware said. "I
can't fill that man's shoes."
But he did set a much-needed tone for Georgia's running game,
which went through all 14 games without producing a 100-yard rusher
last season -- the first time that had happened in 31 years.
"We're glad to have that monkey off our back," coach Mark
Richt said. "Danny ran beautifully."
Ware scored Georgia's first touchdown on a 10-yard run. He added
a 3-yarder less than three minutes into the second half, sparking a
28-point third quarter that blew open a close game.
Georgia put its first-teamers back on the field after Georgia
Southern scored a couple of quick TDs late in the game. With less
than a minute to go, Ware finished off his big day with a 1-yard
dive into the end zone, becoming the first Georgia player since
Musa Smith in the 2001 opener to score three TDs in a game.
"I thought I was done," Ware said. "I was glad they put me
back in. I told the line, 'Let's go out there and get it."
Ware was the first freshman tailback to make his Georgia debut
as a starter since the NCAA allowed freshman to play on the varsity
in 1973. Player shortages during World War II forced the Bulldogs
to start an all-freshman backfield in 1943.
Another freshman back, Thomas Brown, made his mark right away
with a 3-yard touchdown run.
Richt has certainly been impressed with Ware's durability. The
running back enrolled at Georgia in time to take part in practices
leading up to last season's Capital One Bowl -- and he hasn't missed
a day yet because of injuries.
"He may not have gotten stronger as the game went along,"
Richt said, "but he was stronger than the guys around him. He was
breaking more tackles as the game went along."
The Bulldogs also struck for a couple of long scores while
improving to 3-0 overall against Georgia Southern. Tyson Browning
had a 72-yard punt return and Reggie Brown caught a 43-yard pass
from David Greene.
The Eagles, who have won six I-AA championships, kept things
close in the first half with their option offense, which held the
ball for more than 20 minutes.
Even so, Georgia went to the break with a 13-7 lead.
Andy Bailey's 21-yard field goal broke a 7-all tie with 2:40
left in the half. The freshman added a 31-yarder with 13 seconds to
go after David Pollack forced a fumble by Southern quarterback Chaz
"I thought we showed a lot of heart," Eagles coach Mike Sewak
said. "Georgia is a very deep team."
The Bulldogs broke it open in the third quarter. Taking the
second-half kickoff, they quickly drove 65 yards in seven plays to
go ahead 20-7. Greene hooked up withBrown on a 23-yard completion
and Ware set up his second TD by rambling 18 yards to the 3.
After Georgia Southern went three-and-out, Browning took a punt
at his own 28 and found a huge hole up the right side. Not even
running full speed, he cruised along behind his blockers, made one
cutback at the Eagles 40 and raced untouched for the touchdown,
putting the Bulldogs up 27-7.
ThomasBrown's short run and ReggieBrown's long catch made it
41-14 at the end of the third quarter. On the latter score, Greene
dropped the snap but picked it up in time to find his receiver open
over the middle. After breaking one tackle,Brown took it all the
way to the end zone.
Greene, who has chance to become the winningest quarterback in
NCAA history this season, completed 9 of 14 passes for 161 yards.
Georgia Southern kept the game respectable even though top
runner Jermaine Austin went out in the first half with a sprained
ankle. Brandon Andrews took over, leading the Eagles with 83 yards
on 20 carries.
The Eagles rushed for 294 yards.
But Williams passed for only 12 yards, completing three of 12
with an interception. Backup Trey Hunter did better, running for
one TD and throwing for another score.
"We knew that no one was giving us a chance to win," safety
James Young said. "We believed in ourselves, and we came out and
played as hard as we could."

Great ride report
I can't stop saying that this is the most complete RR ever, and I just have to go back and re-read things that you've done and places that you've been over and over. If ever I could duplicate an adventure, it would be yours!
It's a great RR is all I can say!

How shall I start this next posting of my RR?
Life is serendipitous?
Good things come to those who wait?
Magic happens?
Everything unfolds as it should? Call it fate, kismet, destiny, providence, kharma.
Nothing seems to come close to the wonder I experienced today (probably yesterday by the time I post this)
Again, let me backtrack.
I left Watson Lake quite late, but seeing as it stays light well past midnight I wasnt really in a hurry to get to the hotsprings other than really wanting to soak in some nice hot water surrounded by nature, nice and quiet and peaceful.
Fate had different plans as it turned out.
The road there was getting quite rough at times with lots of gravel patches. I saw a huge sign enlightening those of us who are not used to having bisons occupying the roads.
I was excited to see some although I have to admit that most of the wild life warning signs had been in vain for me. I never did see some of the wildlife the signs mentioned.
This time however I did, awesome!
Grandpa Bison
Didnt know bears ate grass or flowers
At one point the road got so dusty that I couldnt even see a hand in front of my eyes, let alone the road boundaries or anyone in front. I slowed down a bit and backed up hoping that if there was someone behind me they would see me!
Finally I could see something, and thank goodness I slowed down, cause I would have plowed right into the truck at the end of the waiting line if I hadnt.
It seems there was a red stop-light and folks were waiting. All the way up front was a huge semi truck with trailer, followed by a huge Winnebago pretty much the cause of all the dust I think.
While sitting there I kept looking in my rearview mirror to see if there were any trucks or cars coming up behind me. The lack of vision worried me and I didnt like the idea of getting squashed. I heard another semi-truck nearing before I even saw it. I was debating starting my engine so I could quickly get out of the way in case he didnt see me. Thankfully he did, albeit rather late, the accompanying sound of rapid breaking proving the fact that he almost missed the line as well.
We ended up having to wait half an hour for the pilot car to show up, even though no cars ever came this way. I think he was taking a break.
I did have the brilliant thought to just move my butt to the front of the line so I wouldnt be choking on the dust once we started.
That turned out to be a smart idea seeing as the dust from the pilot car alone had me coughing up a storm.
I ended up riding in the left lane of the road diagonally from the pilot car. Im sure the driver figured out why
Once I got closer to Liard Hotsprings I saw a little store in Cole River and thought Id buy some water as I was almost out. $5 for and 1.5 liter bottle! I dont think so!
I figured Id rather just pump it from a stream.
I got to the campsite at the hotsprings late, and rode through the campground looking for a space to pitch my tent. There wasnt a single available spot! Yikes. I did see one site that had a single tent and a bike. Hmmmm, I wonder if hed be wiling to share the site and split the cost. The rider wasnt there however, probably at the pools. I asked some other bikers sharing a camp nearby if they knew the GS rider and what he looked like. They did, his name was Mike and they described him to me. One of the riders said there was camping across the road too, and I followed him to the spot. I really didnt like the camping area there though, in the middle of gravel amidst RVs. Nope, cant stand a night of generator noise.
I ended up riding to the trail to the hotsprings in hopes of catching that Mike guy when I saw tents camped all over that day use area. Turns out because the camp was full, they let people camp over there as well. I picked out a quiet spot left of the boardwalk entrance and started pitching my tent when Mike showed up. Turns out he would have loved to have shared his site with me. Oh well, I figured this placed looked a heck of a lot quieter than the campsite.
Never in my life have I been this wrong!!!
Even though I did not envision a full campsite in my mind, I was happy where I was, grabbed my bikini and my towel, and headed for the hotsprings.
The board walk there
Looked like the Everglades!
I knew before hand that there were changing rooms there but I hadnt quite realized how fancy this place would be
I went into the womens changing room and put on my bikini all the while being mercilessly bitten by mosquitos, and almost ran into the water. Ouch!! It was hot!!
It took me a little while to acclimatize and yes, being bitten until I was thoroughly immersed.
Yeah, had forgotten about those pesky little buggers!
At first there were only a few folks there, not exactly quiet, but I could handle that. Pretty soon however it got more and more quiet, and my vision of soaking peacefully by myself was pretty much annihilated. It dawned on me that I had not quite thought this through, summer time, and weekend combined, yeah, the combination of quiet and solitude would not be possible.
I didnt stay long and thought Ill come back early in the morning when not so many folks are here.
I made some dinner and crawled into my sleeping bag at around 11:30.
Sleep wouldnt come. It was quite noisy there with people walking by and cars coming and leaving.
I figured people would go to sleep soon. Finally at around 1 I fell asleep only to be woken up half an hour later by some weird noises around my tent. I got up and looked outside. Right next to the table where I had pitched my tent, was a guy trying to start a fire in the fire pit. I asked him what he was doing and when he said he was trying to start a fire to roast his hot dog I asked him how come he didnt use one of the free fire pits (about 6 of them) a few yards down from where I was camped.
He then asked if he was bothering me and I said yes that I was trying to sleep, it was late. I crawled back into my tent thinking hed use another fire pit, but as it turns out hed gotten really pissed. He got into his car, drove forward and backed up his exhaust right in front of my tent, and let the engine run the whole time. I couldnt figure out why he let the car run, or why he was sitting there.
Then I remembered my stash of fire starting tablets and got some out of my bag to give to him so hes maybe have some success starting a fire. Turns out he didnt want them, and looked really pissed. He was eating his hot dog cold and he said it was disgusting cold. I asked him if he was parked like this to slowly kill me with exhaust fumes, and he said yes that was the plan. I was being kind and told him to take the tablets so he could make a fire but then he just drove off. He was still really pissed because he was speeding out of the parking lot and was going too fast in the curve and ran into a tree. He didnt do too much damage I guess because he backed up and drove off. I felt guilty having asked him to fry his hot dog somewhere else, but at the same time what was he thinking using a fire pit next to a camped person when so many other ones were available?
I finally fell asleep only to be woken up again at 2 by a group of young folks hitting the springs.
Im not going to say how many times I fell asleep and was woken up again, but I will say that when morning came I was pretty much a wreck!
My detour to the hot springs that I thought was going to be just awesome had turned into a nightmare of sorts.
At 6:30 I decided Id had enough, and packed my gear and left.
I was on the road by 8, which was definitely the one of earliest times Ive ever got going.
The morning was clear but nippy, and even though I was half asleep I enjoyed the scenery back toward Watson Lake.
I saw this sign again and knew I was back at the dusty road.
I am guessing the government could not afford good signs?
This time there was a second stop and a woman walked up to me and said, I have good news for you and bad news. I was thinking Yikes! Dont tell me road is closed?
The good news is that you get to go first and follow me, the bad news is that there is a 20 wait time because we had to wait for the seal coating to sink in.
Well that wasnt so bad. I parked my bike in the front and was about to grab my nook and crash on the side of the road to read when quite a few people walked up to me to ask me about my journey.
When the hot springs came up I told them about the hot dog guy, and my lack of sleep. I mentioned I didnt even have any coffee yet. The pilot car gal heard me and promptly showed up with her thermos of coffee and asked if I had a mug. I did!!!
She gave me a cup of here excellent coffee and I had to take a picture of my morning hero!
The wait was over very soon and we all hopped back unto or into our vehicles and left.
I got back to Watson Lake around 11 and stopped at a gas station to fill up. I had good phone reception so my plan was to fill up, go to the grocery store that had a little diner area, and go online for a while. Yeah .. the best laid plans I should know better by now!
As I hopped on Spirit I noticed that both my feet were actually able to touch the ground fully, no tiptoeing! Hmmm?????? Flat tire?? I looked down, sure enough! Another flat.
I could not even get off my bike it was that low, the kickstand wouldnt work.
There was a guy on a GS parked a few yard in front of me against a building and I hollered HEY!
He looked over and I beckoned him to me. No idea what he was thinking
I explained my predicament and asked him to hold Spirit while I got off, and if he could help me push her into the dirt against the building nearby. He did and I got my little magical stand out of my bag and propped Spirit up so she wouldnt tip over. (Jim, I dont think you had any idea I would use this thing as much as I have when you gave it to me did you??)
I went through the process of taking the load off and my Pelicans as well, and took the rear wheel off. The GS rider who had helped me left after asking if I needed help. I had said no, been there done this, I could do it. While I was removing the tire a French guy showed up called Matt. He had been on the road for years and had been to Laos and other foreign countries on his bike.
Once the tube was out I couldnt see any new holes, nor a nail in the tire.
I blew the tube up and felt where the air was coming from. There was a tiny rip near the patch I had put on the time I had a flat near Port Renfrew.
As I pushed down on it, the rip turned into a huge tear. Did I put the patch on wrong???
Anyways, the tube was shot, and not a bike shop nearby.
So many riders told me that in an emergency I can use the way to big and skinny front tube, so I did.
Matt told me not to, that it would never last. I told him some guys had done this and rode on it for hundreds of miles! He told me that was making a mistake and that I would now end up on the side of the road with a flat tire. Instead I should wait for a biker to show up with tube that might fit.
For some reason I thought that it would be very unlikely that someone would show up with my size tube. We sat for a while and noticed all the BMWs ride by. LOL, tubeless tires all of them. I decided to take the chance and find out of this would work. Got the tire on the rim in no time and walke around the building to the air-pump where I encountered Grizzly and his son Johan, also on BMWs.
So here I was, putting my wheel on again while Grizzly, Matt and another guy stood watching me work. LOL, talk about emancipation!
Once I had the wheel on it started raining, or should I say pouring! I covered all my junk with my tarp, put on my rain gear and finished tightening everything and also tightening my chain which Im afraid is on its last legs, again!
Once it stopped raining I cleaned up my tools and put the cases and gear back on the bike.
The guys had gone for lunch nearby at Kathys place, and I said Id join them later.
They had all but finished when I got there, but the thought of some fresh food instead of my canned soup or packaged Indian food sounded great. I had a nice salad with Feta cheese and olives and ate lunch there. Grizzly and Johan left shortly afterward and Matt left a little later to go grocery shopping. I also met Peter, a guy from Germany, also on a GS. I say, Im severely outnumbered here, not a single KLR rider in sight!
I took off a little later and headed for White Horse, or actually a campground called Morley Lake.
I saw Grizzly and Johan at an ATM machine while heading out of town, and figured theyd catch up on me at some point as I was riding nice and slow.
Yep they passed me in no time!
I kept seeing them stopped here and there and then passing me again.
The road west was awesome!!
At one lookout we were all there, Grizzly, Johan Peter and I.
Lookout view
I said bye to the guys and took off, hoping to find Morley Lake campground soon. I was tired!
Once I got back into the Yukon, the road dips down into B for a little while, I saw a recreation area called Morley Lake. I rode up to see if there might be camping there too, and sure enough, yep, a really nice and free campground above the river. I didnt even have to take Spirit on a dirt road, which I really didnt want to do with my little tube in the tire.
I pitched my tent and strung a line to dry my still wet hot spring stuff, cooked dinner and crawled in bed! I was 9 PM
I fell asleep instantly and didnt get up until 8 AM; I slept great!!
That morning I relaxed, made coffee using my hand made alcohol stove that I have yet to get used to seeing as I burned a huge hole in my little blue ground tarp.
As I lied there reading I heard a bike stop and went to say hi to the rider. Another GS. It was a guy from England who was with a group that had their bikes shipped to the US to ride to Alaska.
As it turns out the US customs had misplaced the paper work so it took almost 10 days for the bikes to be released to them. They were now having to make up for lost time and everyone rode at their own pace I guess seeing as he was by himself.
I said bye and got back in my tent to relax.
An hour later another couple of bikers stopped, but it sounded like Harleys so I stayed in my tent.
Later on another bike stopped and I could have sworn it sounded like a KLR, cause I got out of my tent to see.
It was a GS650, and the riders name was Mark.
I told him I was just camping here waiting for Tuesday to come seeing as most motorbike shops are closed on Monday. I told him I had had to put a skinny large tube in my rear tire cause my other one ripped. Turns out he had a tube with him that would fit the KLR!!! Awesome! It would be nice to have one in case my tire went flat again. I told him I would pay him for it so he could buy a new one in White Horse.
As I walked to the tent to grab my wallet I glanced at my rear tire and what do I see??????
Flat! Again!!
Yeah I guess either I must have done something wrong, or front tubes are just not meant to go on rear wheels!
I thanked Mark for being here and having a tube that would fit, and took a pic of him.
What are the chances of that!! Getting a new tube just when I need it and just out of the blue??
I was awed!! I couldnt put on the tire right away because it was raining, so I relaxed and wrote my RR.
Later on that day the rain mellowed out and by 7 it was dry and the sun peeked out occasionally.
I jacked Spirit up again and removed the wheel and tube. Looking at the tube I saw a weird circle that was gouged into the tube, what the??? Oh well, it must have rubbed wrong somehow. I didnt think about it again for a while, and put the new tube in and the tire back on. Getting the wheel back on was really hard for some odd reason .. Normally I can do this pretty fast, but not that day. The brake was giving me major trouble, and the brake pad kept falling out. What now???
I finally got everything lined up and put back on when I pressed the rear break, after which the pad fell out again! I was getting pretty frustrated by then, not to mention it was 11 pm and I was tired.
I cleaned up and figured Id sort it out in the morning. While cleaning up I saw a little metal ring and knew what it was right away, I also knew why my tube was scored! Turns out the flat tire was entirely my own fault!!
I had forgotten about the valve washer, and it was still inside the tire and pressing down on the tube making a teensy hole.
I went to bed pretty much disgusted with myself, but glad that this time around I left the first bolt of the tube on the washer. I normally take the bolts off so the tube aligns smoothly with the rim.
The next morning, after a really chilly night, the sky was cloudy but with blue patches. It looked like it would be a sunny day
I packed up and finished putting Spirit back together. Balanced the rear wheel, put the rear brake caliper back on, and mounted the Pelicans.
I would have to forego using the rear brake until I got new brake pads. They were in terrible shape, at least the one that didnt fall out all the time.
Before I left I took a photo of this rock where a bunch of wild flowers grew around it, as if it was a magical stone.
The ride to White Horse was uneventful but beautiful.
Once I got to White Horse I went to the bike shop but they didn't have KLR brake pads, not did the Kawasaki dealer in town! Yikes, now what?? Looks like I am going to have to order some and express mail them to Haines Junction or so.
Not sure if any ADVers live nearby but I guess I'll figure it out.
I decided that I really wanted a shower and do some laundry. I swung by the tourist info and asked for the cheapest Motel. Yikes!! Not cheap here!! She told me about a couple of Hostels, one was called Beez Kneez. I followed the map and found it tucked away on a small side street. I went inside to ask if she had any room. Again I got lucky, one of her reservations was canceled this morning because of the flood in the West in Canada.
I got this cute little cabin for $50 and was able to use the kitchen to cook and do my dishes, do my laundry here and take a nice long shower.
I also went to Canadian tire to get a couple of fuel tins for my stove and food.
No more alcohol stoves for me!!! It's just plumb dangerous to use that inside my tent vestibule.
I'll gladly pay the $8 for 12 hours of cooking time!
I made myself a nice home cooked dinner and am writing my ride report.
Tomorrow I'm going to find another place to chance my oil. Yep again, I've put on 2000 miles since the sunshine coast. Unbelievable!!
After that I am heading to Skagway to take the ferry to Haines

i've made a few of those penny stoves too. mine work really well for 2.5 minutes and then needed to add more fuel. i prefer the 1lb gas bottles and single burner stove as the bottle last much longer than the several bottles of paint thinner (alcohol) that I was using and several times cheaper too. too bad about the hot dog guy...i guess all campers have experienced a version of him.

The kingdom of heaven in not a place but a state of mind.
― John Burroughs
Communing with God is communing with our own hearts, our own best selves, not with something foreign and accidental. Saints and devotees have gone into the wilderness to find God; of course they took God with them, and the silence and detachment enabled them to hear the still, small voice of their own souls, as one hears the ticking of his own watch in the stillness of the night.
