Canadian import rules violated
A shipment of 35 live cattle from Canada which contained 8 pregnant heiferettes, including one animal more than 30 months of age, were slaughtered by a U.S. packing facility earlier this month. The shipment and subsequent processing of the cattle violated USDA rules concerning cattle imported from north of the border.
According to USDA officials, the animal's age was questioned after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) noted a wide range of ages on a load of cattle approved for shipment to Green Bay Dressed Beef, Green Bay, WI, a subsidiary of American Foods Group (AFG).
USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service learned about the suspect animals as a result of a Canadian audit of the health certificate accompanying the animals. Prior to slaughter, the animal's health certificates, completed by a certified Canadian veterinarian, were presented to the packer and upon review, the certificates appeared complete and accurate. However, a subsequent audit of the information by Canadian officials found discrepancies between the information on the certificate and producer records.
The cattle in question were delivered to the plant Aug. 2. The animals were sent through the processing chain Aug. 4, according to Jim Mulhern, spokesman for AFG. At slaughter, eight of the animals were found to be pregnant, one of those cows was determined to be more than 30 months of age. The fetuses were removed and destroyed in accordance with USDA rules. USDA and AFG officials continue to emphasize the fact that the food chain safety was not compromised by the incident.
"There were 35 animals on the load, and an audit after the fact indicated that one of them was actually 31 months of age, instead of 30 months or younger," said Mulhern. "The mistake was made by a certified veterinary technician in Canada and the investigation was initiated by CFIA. We took action upon being notified by USDA of the concern that an over-30-month animal might have been processed."
CFIA officials, responsible for ensuring compliance with USDA import regulations, have decertified both the veterinarian who inspected the cattle prior to shipment and the Canadian export company which sent the cattle across the border.
AFG, upon being notified of the incident on Aug. 19, issued an immediate recall announcement on all 1,857 pounds of boxed beef that may have included meat from the older-than-allowed animal. There is a possibility that some of the vertebral column from the suspect animal was part of the product.
"Specified risk materials are to be removed from all animals, regardless of their age, however, the extent of the vertebral material to be removed from animals under 30 months of age is much less than what needs to be removed from animals over 30 months," Mulhern said. "Because the animal came in with the appropriate documentation, it was handled as an animal 30 months or younger."
The recall, according to USDA and AFG, was designated "Class Two," meaning there are minimal health and safety concerns about the beef in question.
"The recall is simply a reaction to a violation of our rule restricting any cattle from Canada that are over 30 months of age," said Jim Rogers, spokesman for USDA. "It's a paperwork snafu and nothing else. Yes, the animal is over 30 months of age, but the health and safety of the product from that animal isn't considered a threat to consumers or the U.S. livestock industry."
It's likely that most of the recalled product has already been distributed. "The amount of beef in question is 37 boxes," said Mulhern. "It most likely all left the plant within 10 days of the animal being processed (Aug. 4)."
Rogers told WLJ last week that there are no USDA plans to suspend the importation of cattle or beef from Canada. He added that although the USDA is reviewing import safeguards, any changes to the regulations would have to go through the federal rulemaking process.
"We trust the Canadians and have full faith in their certification process, but, if it's a day over 30-months, it violates the rule," said Rogers.
While USDA and AFG said that the product is safe, R-CALF United Stockgrowers of America, which stands against the reopening of the border to Canadian cattle, said the incident is proof that BSE prevention measures are not stringent enough.
"This incident shows a failure of several key BSE firewalls USDA claims exist for Canadian cattle imports," said Leo McDonnell, president of R-CALF. "USDA is trying to argue this cow was just one month over the age limit, but how many other Canadian cattle have come into the U.S. in violation of the age constraints, and how much past 30 months of age are they?"
McDonnell also indicated that this situation strengthens his group's resolve when it comes to reinstating the ban against Canadian cattle and beef entering the U.S. In early July, a temporary restraining order, which was requested by R-CALF, was overturned by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Seattle, WA.
"Not only do we have to wonder whether some Canadians are falsifying their age certificates, but we also have to be concerned with USDA's ongoing trail of repeated failures to assure compliance with its own BSE rules, which is resulting in unnecessary and avoidable risks to both U.S. consumers and the U.S. cattle herd," said McDonnell. "USDA convinced the Ninth Circuit that the U.S. was protected from the possibility of contaminated tissue entering the U.S. food supply because the U.S. had 'created a virtually impenetrable barrier to the introduction or spread of BSE,' and obviously, USDA was wrong."
R-CALF also indicated it will work even harder toward getting mandatory country of origin labeling implemented immediately for meat and meat products.
"Only with a label can U.S. consumers make informed decisions on their own, without having to rely exclusively on the mistake-prone actions of USDA," McDonnell said. "Consumers who would rather not accept any risks associated with a particular country's beef could, with a country-of-origin label, choose to purchase only beef born, raised, and processed in the country of their choosing. This should be a fundamental right for U.S. consumers. Under the current system, consumers have no such right."— Steven D. Vetter, WLJ Editor

Whole Foods CEO John Mackey says innovation is in part about embracing ideas that initially seem crazy. That's what led Whole Foods to start putting bars in its stores, complete with 16 draft-beer taps and widescreen TVs. What initially seemed like "a really stupid idea" has proven a colossal hit with the chain's shoppers, Mackey says.

Megan Fox Defends Shia LaBeouf
Shia LaBeouf has been on quite the downward spiral lately, but his former hookup and "Transformers" co-star Megan Fox is sticking behind him. While promoting "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", Megan had nothing but kind words for Shia.
"I'm not worried about Shia. I love my Shia. He's perfectly fine," Fox, 28, told the New York Daily News. "I haven't talked to him in a couple of years, but I don't worry about him."
"He's a brilliant kid, talented and funny," the mom of two continued. "There's no reason to worry."
So, basically she hasn't spoken to him in quite some time, but thinks that he's just fine? Perhaps her handlers have instructed her to try and keep anything not related to the promotion of the movie to a strict minimum.
Shia was arrested for going crazy during the Broadway production of "Cabaret" and proceeded to give the theatergoers and police that epic "Do you know who I am?!?" line. He's a bit crazy, but at least he seems to be handling his demons.
Anyhoo, are you planning on going to see "Ninja Turtles" at the theater?

TOKYO (ICIS)--Nippon Shokubai's first-quarter net profit declined 39% year on year to yen (Y) 3.04bn ($31m), largely attributed to the prolonged shutdown of its production facilities in Himeji, the Japanese chemical firm said on Tuesday.
Among the plants shut by a blast that occurred at the company's Himeji production site in September 2012 are its acrylic acid (AA) and super absorbent polymer (SAP) facilities.
Nippon Shokubai's net sales in the three months to 30 June 2013 fell by 23% year on year to Y61.2bn, while operating profit plummeted by 70% to Y2.12bn, the company said in a statement.
In the basic chemicals segment, net sales declined by 18% year on year to Y27.6bn, it said.
The business incurred an operating loss of Y315m, reversing the Y3.01bn profit made in the same period last year as sales volume of acrylic acid (AA) and acrylic esters declined, Nippon Shokubai said.
In the performance chemicals segment, net sales fell by 35% year on year to Y26.7bn, while operating profit slumped by 67% to Y1.27bn.

Looks great, but vulnerable to damage.
Dawna from Pennington, NJ – Verified Buyer
This cabinet arrived with a rear leg broken off. (It was packaged fairly carefully, but clearly not well enough) I was able to glue it back on and have put the cabinet into use. Buyers should be aware that the tray on top extends out on all sides and that the cabinet will sit 21/2 inches from a wall. This wasn't clear to me looking at the photo.
Wine cabinet with removable tray
Shawn from Arlington, TX – Verified Buyer
Love this piece! This was exactly what I was looking for to place in a corner of my dining room. This hold 16 bottles of wine (even the large ones). The storage drawer is perfect for wine stoppers, coasters and corkscrew. I have received many compliments on this piece, and the best part is that NO ASSEMBLY WAS REQUIRED! The hardest part was getting the piece out of the packaging. I would highly recommend this piece!
uneven but great replacement.
Raeann from Pflugerville, TX – Verified Buyer
I was so pleased to find a wine rack that holds quite a few bottles, was nice looking, and affordably priced. Unfortunately, when my first piece arrived, one of the legs was too long and it wobbled. Definitely cannot have a wobbly wine rack. Wayfair customer service was AMAZING in remedying the situation. I got a reply to my report online very quickly and they sent an entire new cabinet right away. The second one was perfect! Thanks Wayfair!
Very good product
Tesfaye from Virgnia – Verified Buyer
Very well built and beautiful cabinet. This is not my first buy from Wayfair. What amazes me is finding the quality of the products much better in person than the picture show. With so many others, it is the other way around. The speed of delivery and price of items is another reason I am hooked to Wayfair and gladly! Pros: Well built, beautiful, delivered fast in 2 days for free, made my wife to think I am a savy shopper:) Cons: none I think of
Love it!
Sheri Hickson from Lexington, KY – Verified Buyer
I received my wine cabinet in PERFECT condition! It was packaged extremely well and already assembled. Also, I couldn't believe how FAST it shipped! The drawer was a little tight to open and close at first but has already loosened up after using it for a few weeks. I LOVE this wine rack! It fits perfectly in the corner of our eat-in kitchen. I like the way it looks without the tray on the top so I removed it. The top of the cabinet is completely finished even without the tray so it still looks GREAT! This is my first time making a purchase on wayfair.com and I will definitely consider coming back the next time I am looking to make improvements in my home! PS - I ordered from Wayfair after seeing them featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. They did an amazing job furnishing the KB Home built for Lisa Jarmon and her family!
Great wine rack
Phyllis from Mountville, PA – Verified Buyer
I looked for months for a wine rack with the dimensions I needed. My preference was black. I loved the look of this and was excited that it had a removable top tray. The cabinet arrived quickly AND we DID NOT HAVE TO ASSEMBLE it....we simply took it from the packing and we were storing our wine. This cabinet is a great quality and has significant weight .... The price was also great. Thanks
Wine Cabinet a winner!
Helen from Myrtle Beach, SC – Verified Buyer
Shopped a long time for a free standing wine cabinet to match our decor. This 16 bottle cabinet was just the size my husband and I wanted, and it is a lovely piece. We made a simple change in the drawer pull hardware, and matched it with my kitchen cabinet pulls. I would recommend this cabinet to any one looking for simple wire storage.
Just what we wanted !!!!!
Bill from Abington, MA – Verified Buyer
Perfect piece for the place we had in mind.Just the right amount of storage for wine and the drawer is a bonus.Wife loves the removable top tray especially when she wants to hit me over the head with it(just joking) .I liked the fact that it came in one piece and is very sturdy and well made looks just like the picture. no assembly,sturdy,great finish none so far
Nice piece of furniture for the price
John from Montgomery, IL – Verified Buyer
The piece came on time and in great condition. It was packaged well. The removable table top tray is a nice feature. It has a trim piece on all four sides on the bottom that wrap around the table top, so it is very secure and won't move when it's in place. If you're looking for a small, multifunctional wine storage / serving cabinet, I highly recommend this one.
Great wine rack!
Brad from Austin, TX – Verified Buyer
Recently bought this as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. It is a solid peice of furniture. It came assembled and was packed well, however there were a couple of scratches. They were easily touched up with a black sharpy though. It looks great in our condo and my girlfriend absolutely loves it. Thanks!

To the eye, the Klipsch Icon-W Series WF-35 floorstander reflects a classic approach, featuring a furniture-grade wood veneer cabinet. But to the ear, there is nothing traditional about it. Using only the finest materials and technology, the sophisticated WF-35 delivers full-bodied sound performances from a slimmer enclosure. It employs three 5.25-inch high-output fiberglass cone woofers with powerful ceramic motor structures to deliver the kind of bass you hear and feel. But what really makes this speaker shine is a patent-pending Tractrix Horn-loaded tweeter with XT technology.

Indians must bring their best game or the Australians will trample all over them, writes Peter Roebuck
Anil Kumble and chums need not despair about their prospects in Australia.
Admittedly the cerebral spinner has other things on his mind but he must have been following events Down Under. Despite the drubbing dished out to the ailing Lankans, the Australians have not been completely convincing with the ball. India's main problem might not be the opposition but their belated arrival on the 'hostile' continent. To appear a week before the Boxing Day Test tells of an administration more concerned with profits than victories. Nor will the players be fresh.
Dependent on Murali
Australia batted exceptionally well against a lacklustre Sri Lankan attack unduly dependent on a spinner obliged on every occasion to start against the openers.
Most of the Antipodean batsmen tightened their games, matured their minds at counties and came to Test cricket with thousands of runs under their belts. Most of them can read spin from the hand. Neither the occasion nor Murali worried them. Australia's batting remains strong.
Australia's bowling is another matter. Despite the marked improvement in Brett Lee, the attack was repulsed for long periods. Yet Sri Lanka's batting is a fragile mixture of veterans and novices. Amongst the youngsters, Michael Vandort, a limited beanpole, endured for almost an entire day on an admittedly mild Gabba pitch. Amongst the veterans, Marvan Atappatu had not held a bat for three months and was still as hard to remove as chewing gum.
Top draw
Amongst the visiting batsmen, only Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara belong in the highest class and both scored centuries.
Jayawardene was superb in the first innings in Hobart, choosing his shots with quite conviction and keeping the ball on the ground. Unfortunately for Sri Lanka's esteemed leader, few of his team-mates were able to keep him company.
Also the local bowlers had plenty of runs at their disposal so the pressure was always on their opponents. In both matches the host batted and produced daunting totals. India must try to take charge from the outset.
Sangakkara was impressive. A sore hamstring forced him to miss the first Test and batting was a distant memory by the time he reached Tasmania, yet he scored 67 and 192.
Mixing well
Along the way he proved that it is possible to possible to mix with the Australians without appearing weak, to fight in an apparently doomed cause, take the team within distant sight of victory and yourself to the borders of 200, get a rough decision and still laugh and shake hands and console not yourself but the errant umpire.
During the match he had supper with opponents, encouraged his team-mates and relished the opportunity to play against the champions. Not for him the hangdog look seen in some touring teams. He turned up ready to play.
Clearly Australia's bowling held no terrors for accomplished batsmen, and India has an abundance of them. Stuart Macgill has a wonky knees and may withdraw. Brett Lee led the attack with vim and versatility. Evidently he has learnt a lot about reverse swing from Troy Cooley. England was foolish to let him slip through its hands.
Lee's command of reverse swing was demonstrated in his removal of Jayawardene with a delivery that snaked back too late to permit second thoughts. His cohorts were persistent as opposed to penetrating.
To compete, India must bring its best game. Otherwise the Australians will trample all over them. It's not enough for a few players to shine. Nor is it any use grizzling about pitches or press or umpires or crowds or luck. Sangakkara has shown the way forward.

The serial sniper shootings that terrorized the Washington, D.C-area are over, authorities said today as they announced the arrests of two suspects and the discovery of a rifle linked to most of the crimes.
Now prosecutors in seven different jurisdictions must decide how to prosecute John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvo for allegedly 10 people and seriously wounding three others during a killing spree that began Oct. 2. Prosecutors are expected to meet Friday to discuss filing charges against Muhammad and Malvo.
Muhammad, 41, and John Lee Malvo, 17, were arrested early Thursday morning as they slept in a blue 1990 Chevrolet Caprice spotted at a highway rest stop in Maryland. Police had announced an arrest warrant seeking the pair only a few hours earlier.
On Thursday night, police announced Muhammad and Malvo were suspects in the case and that frightened residents of suburban Washington could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Please understand these two are under arrest and detained on unrelated charges to the situation we're investigating," said Montgomery County, Md., Police Chief Charles Moose, who led the multi-agency task force that hunted for the serial sniper. "However, we now consider them suspects in the string of shootings in Maryland, the District of Columbia and the Virginia area."
Investigators recovered a .223-caliber rifle from the Caprice that ballistics tests matched to 11 out of the 13 shootings where someone was killed or injured. Michael Bouchard, the special agent in charge representing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, said ballistics was also inconclusive in the one instance in which the snipers missed their target. Different evidence, he said, tied the suspects to the other shootings.
Moose said investigators still have more work to do, but they are confident the Washington, D.C-area residents' ordeal is over.
"We have the weapon. It's off the street," Moose said. "We've been very diligent, very methodical. We've not completed all our work, but we feel things are progressing quite well. Anything remains possible. We continue to look at every angle, every possibility."
Sniper's Nest
Law enforcement sources told ABCNEWS the Caprice that Muhammad and Malvo rode in had a sniper's nest built into the car that allowed the back seat to fold down while someone could lie inside and fire a rifle while remaining hidden.
A shot could be fired through the trunk and the sniper could line up a target without ever leaving the car. This, sources said, also could explain the lack of spent shell casings in most of the shootings. The recovered rifle was a Bushmaster XM-15. Investigators also recovered a scope and tripod in the car, officials said.
The arrests were made shortly after 3:30 a.m. ET, after an alert motorist spotted the two men sleeping in the car parked at a rest stop on Interstate 70 in Frederick County, Md., about 50 miles northwest of Washington, D.C., and notified the authorities.
The police who took the call at about 1 a.m. notified the sniper task force, and SWAT teams surrounded the car at a distance and waited for the right moment to move in.

As Christmas draws near, The Maldives, a liberal Islamic country, braces for one more showdown between the traditional, democratic Maldivian Islamists and religious extremists, who have decided that this is the best time for yet another strike.
Last Christmas too had its share of trouble after a restaurant decorated itself for Christmas. Under Maldivian law, no other religion, barring Islam can be publicly practiced. The buntings were pulled down in no time, but as news spread, protestors filled into the capital Male, and ended up fighting pitched battles with the police. Maldivian tourism during the season had taken a serious knock since the protests.
The religious extremists, growing in numbers despite international efforts to preserve the Maldivian brand of tolerant Islam, have called for a protest on December 23. The Opposition has backed the protests. One official told The Hindu that the protestors had received support from both Pakistan, and former Maldivian President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom.
Against the backdrop of religious protests over the past few weeks, and the vandalism of SAARC monuments, the government has made it clear that it will stand up and face the attempts to push Maldives into a country of fanatics.
President Mohamed Nasheed defended Islam as practiced in the Maldives, ahead of the religious protest. In his weekly radio address on Friday, President Nasheed said that "in the name of protecting Islam, the real call of these religious protestors is to initiate the implementation of Islamic penalties such as stoning, amputations and execution in the Maldives."
Speaking at a rally held on Saturday evening, the President also defended traditional cultural practices such as playing and listening to music. He also defended the role of women in society, noting that "women have been in the Maldivian workforce as long as men."
The President said that political parties must publicly state which form of Islam they support: "the Islam we have been practicing in this country for several hundred years… or a new faction of Islam." The President said that he wanted the traditional version of Islam to continue to be practiced in the Maldives.
A release said that the organisers of the protest have been questioned by the Maldives Police Force after posting messages on the homepage of their official website, 23December.com, calling on people to " fight against all un-Islamic ideas", " take the life" of anyone who challenged Islam " regardless of their party affiliation", and "slaughter anyone against Islam".
Protest organizers Sheikh Imran Abdullah, President of the Adhaalath Party, and Abdullah Mohamed, head of a coalition of religious NGOs, were questioned by police.
The Adhaalath Party initially told local media that the violent messages were uploaded because of "a mistake on the [website] technical teams' side." However, senior Adhaalath Party member Shiekh Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed later said the messages of violence had been posted by "spies."
Press Secretary Mohamed Zuhair said on Monday: "Former President Gayoom, the Adhaalath Party and religious extremists are whipping up hatred, intolerance and xenophobia for political purposes. They hope to topple the government from the streets because they can't defeat it through the ballot box."

On October 28, the SEC announced enforcement actions against three investment advisory firms and certain executives for allegedly violating the "custody rule," which was updated in 2010 and applies to SEC-registered investment advisory firms that have legal ownership or access to client assets or an arrangement permitting them to withdraw client assets. According to the SEC, in addition to other alleged securities violations, the firms allegedly failed to maintain client assets with a qualified custodian or engage an independent public accountant to conduct required surprise exams. To avoid further administrative proceedings, the firms and executives agreed to settle but did not admit the allegations. The firms and individuals collectively agreed to pay $535,000 in penalties, and one firm was required to disgorge nearly $350,000, inclusive of prejudgment interest. The firms also must submit to independent compliance reviews and implement certain specified compliance enhancements.

In a shocking step to curb freedom of expression, Indian Medical Association — the prestigious medical body of doctors — suspended two doctors for raising questions on several alleged malpractices. One of the suspended doctors is a 70-year-old lady doctor who had approached the charity commissioner.
A suspension letter (dna has a copy of it) was issued on March 17. The IMA — an umbrella body of medical professionals — has not given any reason for the suspension in the letter.
IMA-Mumbai has around 10,000 members and as a medical body it plays a key role in helping government health officials take important policy decisions.
Dr Mala Nevrekar, a family physician who practises in Andheri, said: "I am a regular to the charity commissioner's office. I happen to verbally discuss the election procedures in IMA and how there needs to be a manual election than a computerised one. In the general body meeting earlier this month, the IMA blamed me of approaching the charity commissioner and complaining."
According to Dr Nevrekar who has been associated with IMA for the past 20 years, she has been raising questions on the way the IMA has been functioning for the past few years. "On and off, I have raised questions regarding the funding and utilisation of funds by the office bearers. The office bearers don't inform us about many medical camps and programmes held outside Mumbai. I have raised this issue too.
IMA office bearers were never happy with them being cross questioned."
Dr Nevrekar added that since the IMA failed to give a proper reason behind the suspension, she would approach the charity commisisoner and challenge it.
While Dr Nevrekar was verbally informed about the reasons behind her suspension, Dr Ashok Balsekar, past president of IMA-Mumbai (west branch), is still clueless. "I have served the organisation as a president and it hurts me that I was suspended without a reason. I have written a letter asking them on what basis I was suspended."
Dr Balsekar claims that his attitude of calling spade a spade was the reason behind his suspension.
"I have questioned the election process in IMA. Only a selective few were getting elected and there were a few discrepancies. Everyone has the right to express their opinions and I did the same," he added.
Refusing to give reasons behind the suspension order, Dr Parthiv Sanghvi, secretary of IMA-Mumbai (west branch), said: "It is an internal matter of the association. The two doctors were found violating ethics, rules and regulations laid down by the IMA-Mumbai (west branch)."
The decision to suspend Dr Nevrekar and Dr Balsekar was taken in IMA-Mumbai West Branch's general body meeting on March 9, 2014
With immediate effect
The suspended doctors are Dr Mala Nevrekar (in pic) and Dr Ashok Balsekar
The letter of suspension was issued on March 17
The letter does not specify the reason behind suspension
The suspension is with immediate effect
The suspended doctors will not be able to avail privileges like insurance policy
They cannot participate in an IMA forum to advise government health officials

Day 8
Day 8 - Osoyoos to Hope - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, B!!
So yeah... its Brandi's B-day today! She was born on a Friday the 13th, and now she's turning 30 on that same superstitious calendar day. Who says only bad stuff happens on Friday the 13th? Pfft...
We managed to get a reasonably early start this morning, which was good. Osoyoos is almost always the hottest part of the province, so we wanted to get out of there before it got too warm. Just as an example, when we rolled into town the previous evening around 8pm, it was still 37 celsius out.
So we got up early enough to grab some snacks and breakfast from the continental breakfast downstairs and started to pack things up. I took a moment to enjoy the view over the hotel room balcony.
Oh... and the lake looked nice, too
"Can we just stay here for a few days?"
By 9am it was already getting pretty warm out, so we geared up and headed west, stopping at the top of the hill to get a couple parting shots of Osoyoos:
And with that, we were climbing out of the desert oasis of Osoyoos and up to higher - and cooler - elevations:
More hills in and out of Princeton as we wound our way along Hwy 3 towards Manning Park:
At this point in the trip - especially closer to her home town and on familiar roads - I found it amusing how our usual 1-second gap would grow quickly when we hit sweepers like these. Clearly, she was beginning to enjoy leaning the bike into the turns and carrying more and more speed:
We stopped just after a bit of paving/construction, thinking it was just more construction-induced single-lane, alternating traffic. Time for a water break, the hard way:
As it turned out, the traffic stoppage was in order to let some emergency vehicles pass. A police car came towards us with lights and sirens going as we waited here:
Soon after, an ambulance came up from Princeton (behind us at this point) and pulled off to the right near the work trucks. The attendants were focused on someone in the back seat of one of the pickup trucks and didn't appear overly urgent. I assumed that perhaps it was an injured construction worker. When we rolled up a little further, I saw three guys in full ATGATT standing around patiently beside their bikes, looking on with concern.
"Oh crap..." was all that went through my head. Eventually one of the paramedics grabbed a neck collar, but no spine board or gurney, so that seemed promising. Our suspicions of a downed rider were confirmed 200 yards down the road at the next set of twisties. Up against the concrete barrier was a now-worse-for-wear 'Busa. It was upright and looked not bad other than some serious abrasions from the barrier and a busted mirror/lever/perch. (That'll buff right out, eh?).
Here's to a speedy recovery, anonymous rider... get well soon!
Once we got clear of the backed up traffic, we found a shady spot with a creek to pull out and cool off by dunking our heads and splashing some cool water on our faces and gear. Sorry... no wet T-shirt shots
And then it was back on the road for the last push into Hope:
Not far now...
We rolled into Hope without any further adventure and got cleaned up for the festivities to follow - Birthday celebrations!
Brandi's niece shares the same birthday, so there were two birthday girls enjoying the extra attention. And what birthday party is complete without party hats?
Little Gracie apparently thought Brandi was going to slow opening her cards and gifts and was getting in there to help:
And our nephew was helping out with some scratch and win tickets (there's no doubt these kids are related to their aunt, eh?)
"We have a winner!! Yay, Gracie!"
Birthday cake + kids = mayhem. INCOMING!!!
The rest of us were too full after dinner and sampling two different birthday cakes to partake in such gymnastics. I loosened the belt a notch and found someplace quiet to update previous installments of this RR. That's all for Day 8, folks!
Dammit... now I'm craving cake for lunch!

Day 9 & 10
Day 9 was a rest day in Hope with a little bit of bike maintenance. Minor stuff - cleaned and lubed both bikes' chains and air filters. Basically just gave everything a good visual inspection to make sure nothing had rattled its way loose with 3000km worth of single-cylinder vibes since we left home.
Once that was out of the way, it was time to find some shade. Aiden and Patches had the right idea - in the shade on the cool grass:
After a while it was too warm to stay outside, so we decided to go and visit Brandi's sister-in-law and her niece in their brand new house across town. Apparently it was already warm in their house - too warm for clothes, by the looks of things:
Ah, to be a kid again and run around in your underwear... and not have ppl look at you funny. Maybe THAT'S why we live on acreage where the neighbours can't really see us
We just hung out for a couple hours and visited with Brandi's sister-in-law, and played with Gracie, of course. Peekaboo!
It was a pretty casual, relaxing day. After dinner and a visit over to Brandi's grandparents (who also live in Hope) we turned in early in hopes of getting a reasonably early start the next day.
Day 10 - Hope to Clearwater
We were up around 7:30 and were trying to be on the road by 9. I had packed the bags the night before, and just had to load up the DR while Brandi got geared up to go.
Aiden was pretty intrigued by the bikes, staring wide-eyed at the big yellow DR, so I hefted him into the saddle:
Crazy hair is hereditary, I think. You'd see this gene at work if I were able to get a picture of Brandi in the morning before she tamed her crazy mane. Getting such a photo is a task that risks grievous bodily harm to complete, tho... so you'll just have to take my word for it.
I think we may have a future ADV'er on our hands... we might want to start him on a slightly smaller bike tho:
Figured I'd take a couple pictures of the tire tread at this point to compare with photos I took at various mileage points of the trip for comparison. The stock rear Dunlop on Brandi's SM was toast after a mere 3800km. Here's the Conti SM with about 3000km on it already. MUCH better wear rate:
There's a little bit of a flat strip forming... but I should be able to round that off while Brandi's back to work in Chetwynd
My Kenda 761 was wearing pretty well, also. I had nearly 2000km into this tire before our trip, so this was around the 5000km mark so far:
For the price of this tire and the wear I'm getting out of it, I'll definitely pick up another when its time.
So we hit the road and headed up Hwy 3 and then onto Hwy 5 - the Coquihalla - en route to Merrit. There's some great views on that road, but it was the weekend and traffic was thick, and I forgot to connect the lanyard from my camera to the clip inside my jacket pocket, so I wasn't risking dropping the camera until after our first rest stop, which was Merritt.
I had family that used to live in Merritt back when I was in my teens, and often visited here on summer vacation. Since the inception of the Merritt Music Festival (you country fans will probably be familiar with this event), the town has really changed. I hardly recognized a thing. Kinda cool to see how one recurring annual event can reshape an entire town.
We basically just cruised through town, stopped for a refreshment and restroom break and hit the road for Kamloops. Seeya later, Merritt!
Brandi was clearly getting anxious to get home... or at least to our next stop. Vrooom!
It was getting pretty damn hot out through Kamloops, so we just kept rolling. Again, traffic was pretty ugly on this leg of the trip, so not many pictures. We rolled right through Kamloops, filled up north of town in Rayleigh, and had a brief rest/snack stop in Little Fort, where it was also smokin hot and very bright out:
With as much warm, dry weather as the Thompson/Nicola valleys have had this summer, I was surprised at the level of the North Thompson River, and the colour was much different that in past years as well. Probably due to the higher ratio of glacial meltwater vs rainwater/runoff in the drainage basin:
Just a few more corners, then we're back where I grew up!
Ah... couch time!
She had to share the couch with my parent's fat little chihuahua, Pokey.
I'm pretty sure this wasn't an adv salute... but a warning - somebody gets cranky when they're tired!
And yes... I really am feeling as tired as I look. "Is it bedtime yet?"
One more day to go!

Day 11
Finally, Day 11 - Clearwater to Prince George, home sweet home!
Its going to be kind of a bittersweet homecoming tho. Just hours after we get home, Brandi will be on her way back to Chetwynd for her next 10 day shift.
Edited to add some pics my stepmom took as we were loading up the bikes:
Oh well... let's enjoy the ride home, anyway! Up and at it for an early start again, hitting the road by 9am today. We only put about 115km between our last fill-up (Kamloops) and Clearwater, so we headed back south towards Little Fort to get onto Hwy 24 to 100 Mile House. Hwy 5 between Clearwater & Kamloops was ridiculously busy, but there was next to nobody on Hwy 24 through Little Fort:
It was a nice leisurely cruise through the outlying farming areas around Little Fort:
Then it was up the hill and into the... smoke? Ugh... damned forest fires. The whole province is beginning to smell like one big campfire.
By the time we got across Hwy 24 and onto 97, the haze was getting thicker. We figured we'd stop for gas and a bite to eat in 100 Mile. And really, what Canadian road trip would be complete without a stop at Timmy's?
Once on Hwy 97, the traffic was kind of crappy again. Lots of campers, boats & RV's. Even a few RV's pulling boats. My personal pet-peeve are the drivers that slow to 70 or 80km/h through the slightest of turns, then light it up to 120 or 130 on the straights. Morons like that need to be removed from the gene pool. After spending 5 minutes several cars back behind one such waste of skin, I witnesses at least 3 passes that bordered on idiocy - people would just get irritated and impatient being stuck back behind someone like that and start taking risks they really shouldn't be taking on the road.
We took a roadside break for a minute just to distance ourselves from the insanity, then continued on to Williams Lake. The smoke was getting ridiculous at this point:
The rest of the drive home was sloooow. Once we got through Quesnel and close to Hixon, it was one construction site or paving project after another. It took two hours to get home from Quesnel, which is usually an hour and 15 minutes, tops. Painful. Especially as hot and smoky as it was. Eventually we made it through all the single-lane alternating traffic queues and rolled through town, heading west out to our house, watching the blood-red sun through the smoky haze:
And that was it! ~3800km in 10 days of riding with one rest day in Hope. Not a bad pace at all, all things considered.
A few observations we made and will consider for the next trip:
Can't wait for the next one!
Thanks to everyone who followed along!
And now, the musical recap:

Nice to see yet another ADV'r is upholding the tradition of marrying way out of their league The pics were great and I actually recognized some of the roads in AB and have traveled some of the BC roads too
"That road less traveled is a toll road, and sometimes the charge is more expensive than we ever expected. Most of the time, it's a one way road. Make the decision, hope for the best, and start traveling. Carry lots of coins." PecosBill

Shops and business establishments function as usual
TIRUCHI: Normal life remained unaffected though scores of cadre of Left parties were arrested in the district on Tuesday while indulging in picketing agitations organised as part of nation-wide hartal called by the opposition parties to condemn the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government's failure to check the rising prices of essential commodities.
Shops and business establishments functioned as usual in the city including in the busy Gandhi Market area and elsewhere in the district despite a call by the opposition parties to the trading community to take part in the protest and make it a success. No untoward incidents were reported in the district, said police sources.
Train, bus services run
Train and bus services were operated as usual though autorickshaws drivers affiliated to the Centre of Indian Trade Unions kept off the road in certain places.
Several cadres of the Communist Party of India – Marxist and Communist Party of India carrying party flags besides members of the Puthiya Tamizhagam were arrested in the city when they squatted on the road near the Central bus stand. The agitators were led by the CPI national council member A.M. Gopu, CPI district secretary Indrajit, CPI-M district secretary Sridhar and CITU district secretary Raja.
Left cadre were also arrested at places such as Tiruverambur, Lalgudi, Mannachanallur, Manapparai, Musiri and Uppiliapuram when they squatted on the road to express their protest against the Centre's failure to control the prices of essential commodities and demanding a ban on online trading.
Police sources said all those arrested in the city and elsewhere in the district were released in the evening. Police personnel were deployed in various places within the city and elsewhere in the district as a precautionary measure to prevent untoward incidents, the sources said.

Change in Idaho Houshold Income
BOISE, Idaho (AP) - New census estimates show a 5 percent increase in median household income across Idaho last year. The new figures released this week snap a three-year slide that produced in the state one of the worst recession-era losses in household income nationally. Estimates put 2012 median household income at $45,489, meaning half the state's 580,000 households had higher incomes while half fell below that mark.

Informatics news
Dr. Odor wins LMSA Faculty/Advisor Service Award
Every year, each LMSA chapter votes on deserving faculty/advisors that they feel have contributed greatly to their chapter. All awardees are recognized at the annual LMSA West Regional Conference.
"Dr. Odor was instrumental in facilitating and supporting the creation of the Medical Spanish Course that was started by the UC Davis LMSA chapter. With his guidance and involvement we have been able to have successful classes with many great speakers from diverse backgrounds that present case studies in Spanish for students to practice their medical Spanish and learn Spanish medical terms. Recently, Dr. Alberto Odor was awarded the Provost Hybrid Course Award, which will allow him with LMSA help to develop a hybrid version of the Medical Spanish course that we hope to begin offering next year. His passion for teaching coupled with his strong roots in medicine and medical Spanish are inspirational to all of those who have had the opportunity to participate in the medical Spanish course and his commitment to student learning is undeniable! Therefore, without hesitation we feel that Dr. Odor deserves the Faculty Award for the UC Davis LMSA Chapter."

Multinational pharmaceutical drug company MSD, the fully owned subsidiary of Merck & Co, on Wednesday launched a diarrhoea-prevention vaccine RotaTeq for infants and children in India.
RotaTeq is a pentavalent rotavirus vaccine that helps in preventing rotavirus gastroenteritis, a leading cause of severe and life threatening diarrhoea in young children.
Rotavirus is associated with 39.2 per cent of all diarrhoea-related hospital admissions in India among children aged less than five years. According to estimates, nearly six lakh children die of rotavirus each year globally.
"We are launching the vaccine at Rs.900 a dose for private market in the country,'' MSD Managing Director in India K. G. Ananthakrishnan told reporters here.
While the first dosage of the oral three dose RotaTeq vaccine could be administered between six and twelve weeks of age, the subsequent doses need to be given at a minimal interval of four weeks between each dosage. It can be given up to the age of six years. The company will produce the vaccine in the U.S. and then import and market it in India.
"India suffers from a high disease burden of rotavirus associated diarrhoea which also leads to high child mortality in the country. As a part of our commitment to address the unmet medical needs in the country, MSD has launched RotaTeq in India,'' Mr. Ananthakrishnan said.
RotaTeq is a pentavalent rotavirus vaccine specifically designed to help protect against common rotavirus serotypes that cause more than 90 per cent of rotavirus disease worldwide (G1, G2, G3, G4 serotypes) 5. The safety profile and efficacy of RotaTeq was established in Phase III studies on more than 71,000 infants, including the landmark Rotavirus Efficacy and Safety Trial (REST), one of the largest pre-licensure vaccine clinical trials conducted
Meanwhile, MSD Pharmaceuticals has formed a 50:50 joint venture — Hilleman Laboratories — with U.K.-based Wellcome Trust to develop a heat resistant rotavirus diarrhoea vaccine in India. In India, MSD operates through three separate legal entities — MSD Pharmaceuticals, Organon India and Fulford India.

Bloomberg: Primary win a good sign for gun control
Wednesday - 2/27/2013, 4:48pm EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says a victory by a candidate he supported in a House primary in Illinois is a sign of things to come for gun-control legislation.
Bloomberg's PAC, Independence USA, poured more than $2 million into ads supporting Illinois state Rep. Robin Kelly, who won a special primary on Tuesday. Those funds have been credited with helping Kelly defeat former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson, who opposes an assault weapons ban
Bloomberg says Kelly's win reflected the public speaking out against those who stand in the way of tougher gun restrictions.
Bloomberg spoke after meeting with Vice President Joe Biden and senators from both parties to discuss efforts to curb gun violence.
