Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Portfolio managers are locking in their gains and heading to the movies, Jim Cramer said on "Mad Money" Thursday as he attempted to explain the real reasons behind the late-day selloffs the markets have been seeing.
Cramer recalled when, as a hedge fund manager back in 1993, he found himself beating the S&P 500 by almost double for the year. By the time December rolled around, the only prudent thing to do was sell everything and go home, he explained. Continuing to trade would only risk losing those spectacular gains.
That's what many professional money managers are doing today, just biding their time, day trading on the momentum names and selling everything by the close, said Cramer -- locking in their gains, tweaking their positions and making sure their profits look just right for Jan 1.Cramer said there's only one potentially big bad event between now and the end of the year and that's the Federal Reserve meeting next week. But with a looming budget deal in Washington, even the Fed news may be met with a yawn. Investors can still buy some of the long-term winners, such as Home Depot (HD), which he featured on last night's show. but outside of those, there might not be too many exciting events over the next few weeks.

China coal pit flood traps some 57 miners: report
BEIJING (Reuters) – A coal pit flood has trapped an
estimated 57 miners in north China, Xinhua news agency said,
the latest accident to strike the world's deadliest mining
The flood struck on Thursday night in Shanxi province and
101 miners managed to escape, Xinhua said of the accident which
it blamed on "excessive production."
"The mine had the problem of illegally mining beyond its
approved coal seams," Li Yizhong, director of the State
Administration of Work Safety, was quoted as saying.
"Poor management should also be blamed as so far the
managerial personnel of the coal mine could not provide an
exact number of miners being trapped underground."
Xinhua said in an overnight report on Saturday that 44
miners were trapped. Police had arrested nine of the mine's
managers, but the boss had gone into hiding, it reported.
More than 3,300 coal mine blasts, floods and other
accidents claimed nearly 6,000 lives across the country last
year, as mine owners, motivated by soaring profits, pushed
production past safe limits to fuel the booming economy.

25 January 2013 18:00 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--Here is Friday's midday Americas oil and chemical market summary from ICIS.
CRUDE: Mar WTI: $95.88/bbl, down 7 cents; Mar Brent: $113.34/bbl, up 6 cents
NYMEX WTI crude futures drifted lower in choppy action after staging an early rally. Released data showing strong growth in manufacturing in the US and China propped up the stock market, while the euro rose against the dollar. After peaking at $96.56/bbl, the rally was viewed as a pre-weekend selling opportunity.
RBOB: Feb: $2.8700/gal, up 0.71 cents/gal
Reformulated blendstock for oxygen blending (RBOB) gasoline futures prices continued to increase as the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) report, which showed a gain in consumption and a drop in inventories, still influenced trading. RBOB futures have settled up each closing day this week.
NATURAL GAS Feb: $3.421/MMBtu, down 2.5 cents
NYMEX natural gas futures were down more than 2 cents by midday Friday, as the milder weather outlook for next 10 days continues to depress near-term demand expectations.
ETHANE: stable at 26.00 cents/gal
Ethane spot prices were stable as morning trading activity was thin.
AROMATICS: benzene down at $4.75-4.85/gal
Prompt benzene spot prices were discussed within a lower range early in the day, sources said. The range was down from $4.88-4.92/gal FOB the previous session. Trade sources said the benzene market was moving down on the back of weaker European prices.
OLEFINS: Feb ethylene offer up at 68 cents/lb, PGP flat at 75.25 cents/lb
US ethylene for February was offered on the high end of January deals done at 66.75-68.25 cents/lb on Thursday against a bid at 67.00 cents/lb. Polymer-grade propylene (PGP) traded flat with a January deal done at 75.25 cents/lb the previous day.

Kimbrel takes loss as Cards rally past Braves, 3-2
ATLANTA Craig Kimbrel felt as if he let the Braves down for the second straight game.
One day after suffering his second blown save, Kimbrel couldn't hold a tie in the ninth as Gerald Laird's triple capped a late rally to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 3-2 win over Atlanta on Saturday.
"I'm leaving pitches over the plate and they're hitting them," said Kimbrel, in his first season as the Braves' closer. "I'm letting the leadoff runner get on and that's probably one of the most important guys to get out if I'm going to get into a rhythm with my pitching. I haven't done that in my last two outings and it's shown.
"I feel like I've let the team down the last two games. I'm going to come in tomorrow and try to do my job."
Backed by rookie Brandon Beachy's seven scoreless innings to start the game, the Braves led 2-0 before St. Louis began its comeback. David Freese tied the game with a two-run single in the eighth before Laird's go-ahead triple drove in Matt Holliday.
Kimbrel (0-1) had a blown save in the Braves' 5-3 loss to the Cardinals in 11 innings on Friday night.
More trouble for the right-hander came when he couldn't hold a 2-2 tie in the ninth.
Holliday led off with a single to right, advanced to second on catcher Brian McCann's passed ball, and scored on Laird's one-out triple to left.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez noted Kimbrel is just a rookie who was pitching in only his 33rd game. He said he has not lost confidence in the right-hander.
"He's the guy," Gonzalez said, adding Kimbrel's limited experience in the major leagues is "equivalent to 60 at-bats."
George Sherrill, who took over for Kimbrel, struck out Lance Berkman with the bases loaded to end the ninth. Kimbrel gave up two hits and one run in one-third of an inning.
Right-hander Fernando Salas struck out two in the ninth for his second save. Salas walked Nate McLouth with two outs before ending the game on pinch-hitter Eric Hinske's fly ball to left field.
Salas is one of four relievers to record saves in the Cardinals' last five wins, joining Mitchell Boggs, Eduardo Sanchez and Trever Miller.
"He's the guy who was available today," said manager Tony La Russa of Salas.
The Cardinals have won four straight and 14 of their last 19 to move into first place in the NL Central.
"You like to win by 10 runs, but to come out and win two big games like this, coming back shows a lot," Laird said.
Braves shortstop Alex Gonzalez was ejected by home plate umpire Marvin Hudson for arguing a called third strike from Salas for the second out in the ninth. Fredi Gonzalez picked up the argument and also was tossed.
Miguel Batista (2-1) escaped an eighth-inning jam. Jason Heyward hit a one-out double off the right-field wall. Batista walked Chipper Jones intentionally. Colby Rasmus ran down Brian McCann's deep fly ball on the warning track in center field, and Freese snagged Dan Uggla's line drive to end the inning.

Wilbur Dean has started work this week as the assistant to County Coordinator Fred Moody.
Dean was among 13 applicants for the position. Moody, who may retire from his position in the next few years interviewed the top applicants and settled on Dean.
The slot being filled by Dean has been vacant since the retirement of Dick Tummond three years ago.
Dean, a farmer who recently received a CARES Award for using sound environmental and conservation practices on his farm, is no stranger to the Board of County Commissioners administrative office.
Levy County and the City of Chiefland have reduced their discussion of Advance Life Support non-transport services to writing, although it may be via emails.
The two have been going back and forth for almost two years with the city asking to be allowed to provide the service under the county's Certificate of Need and the county asking that the city meet standards set by its medical directors. At times the back and forth has gotten heated.
The Levy County Visitors Bureau in Bronson will host the bimonthly meeting of the Levy County Tourist Development Council on Thursday, May 28, at 6 p.m.
The bureau is at 620 N. Hathaway Ave./U.S. Highway 27A, in the Levy County Road Dept. Office Building.

Chiefland began its 2015 State Playoff campaign with a hard fought, extra inning, 2-1 road win against a very evenly matched Pierson-Taylor team. Going into the contest, both clubs had a record of 16-6 and on paper it was hard to pick a favorite. But in the playoffs, records don't matter anymore, and the Indians proved to be the better team.

Description: These clamping hubs are a great and cost-effective choice when attaching hub mount gears or wheels to shafts or tubes and can be a better option than set screw hubs if you don't want to risk damaging whatever you need clamped. These clamping hubs have a 3/16" bore, four 6-32 tapped holes, one 6-32 machine screw for tightening, and utilizes the 0.77" hub pattern.
Actobotics is a robotics building system based around extruded aluminum channels, gears, precision shafts, and ball bearings. Thanks to the two standardized hole patterns, nearly all Actobotics components can be intuitively connected together. The wide range of components makes building complex electromechanical prototypes or finished projects a reality.

Then using the Kami's he captures ( more likely controls ) one of the dragons. Having one he challenges the other one with the help of the Kami's and gets the other one. Having 2/3's of the Tao trio and the Kami's he will be practically unstoppable? Right? I haven't a clue what comes next, but I'm sure it involves Meloetta, etc. I know it won't happen, but that would still be kinda cool.

When you hop into your UTV for a trek across some gnarly terrain, it's important to make sure that you're ready for whatever may come your way. By design, UTVs already offer more protection than other powersport vehicles since they come stock with roll cages and seatbelts. But what if you'd like additional personal protection? UTV roost deflectors might be just the thing – especially if you don't have a windshield on your machine. If you're traveling along with a couple of buddies ahead of you, a roost deflector can keep you safe from any debris that they might kick up.
We've got a large variety of UTV roost deflectors, and we stock the big names you expect to see in this industry: Answer, EVS, Fox, Leatt, MSR, O'Neal, Scott, Six Six One, Thor and many others. While all of them have provided products that fulfill one primary function – chest protection – there are many different styles and designs to choose from. Some are flashy; some are subtle. Some are extensive; others are simple. Some are designed with a variety of additional features. But all of them do the job and do it well. Browse our selection today to see for yourself.

Tried this and the 3D Airfit and felt like this provides much better protection around the whole upper body. It's fairly bulky compared to the 3D Airfit but when riding I don't notice the bulk. It gets a little hot if the temps get over 75 or 80 and you are doing more pushing/lifting than riding, but if you can keep the pace up the air flow is good and heat isn't too bad. Took one low side in some pebble rock/dirt and the shoulder pad took all the impact and didn't show any signs of damage. This protector is probably overkill for trail riding, but better safe than sorry. The first one that RM shipped had a broken zipper out of the box (zipper ends are plastic and seem like they might not last long). They sent me a new one and I had it two days later just in time for a big trip. If the zippers last, I think this will be a good investment. Until they are proven though, I can't give it a full 5 star. Upgrade the zipper and this would be exactly what I was looking for.Read All Reviews

Hate how bulky chest protectors are, gave me a good alternative. Probably not gonna keep you from getting stabbed like a chest protector, but keeps the roost off. Not too hot either, really comfortably.Read All Reviews
Allen in IA
I purchased this chest protector over the others because I thought it would offer solid protection against tree impacts while racing in tight woods sections. After taking this out of the packaging the shoulder pads each fell off my very first time trying it on. I am very dissapointed with the design and I do not believe that this item will withstand any kind of impact without the shoulder pads detaching and flopping around my arms during a race. I will be returning this item for either a cheaper chest protector without shoulder pads, or a different brand with a better design.Read All Reviews

I mainly race off-road; Hare scrambles and enduros. I agonized about buying the Leatt 3DF AirFit Body Protector for weeks. I wanted as much protection as I could get without being uncomfortable and overheating . I wanted true crash protection, not just a hard plastic roost shield. I had previously worn Leatt elbow guards as it was so I figured that a regular chest protector coupled with the elbow guards would probably hold as much heat in as this suit. Considering it seemed to be specifically designed to keep the rider as cool as possible with the moisture wicking fabric, the vending in the pads, etc., I figured it couldn't be any warmer than my other options so I went for it. After having raced in it four times now, I can say I'm very satisfied. When I'm riding I forget I'm wearing it. All my time so far has been under 80 degrees but I don't believe it will be an issue. If you're just standing around in the sun with it on, yes, it will be hot, but when moving you can feel air flow. The padding is very well placed and provides ample coverage. Others have mentioned about possibly needing a kidney belt but I feel that it's just fine way it is. Some have also been concerned about the zipper . While it is a small zipper, I'd describe it more as precision than light duty. It has shown no signs at all of failing. One thing I realized quickly though is that you will want to wash it... often. Take the padding out and wash it, no problem. I did have one end of the trim (fabric) on the end of the opening for the front pad pull lose. It doesn't seem to be a structural fabric issue but the openings that you need to pull the pads through are kind of small and need to be stretched a lot in order to remove and replace the pads. Also, noticed in a lot of reviews, some confusion on how to wear the Leatt neck brace with this and your jersey. There was mention of having to cut the neck of the jersey, etc. My method is to put the AirFit on, put the jersey on, then put the neck brace on. Fit's perfect. I usually wear a hydration pack and the straps go over the sides of the neck brace which helps to keep it down, in position. Maybe without this it would need to be hooked to the tabs on the AirFit? Not sure but it works fine for me. I'm very impressed with this and happy with the purchase. I would definitely recommend to others. I wear a size medium shirt (which is a good, trim fit for me in most cases) and I ordered the Large/X-Large size in this which seems to work just fine.Read All Reviews

Boise Idaho Real Estate may be moving away from being the seller's market that it has been for at least 2 years. Inventory of homes for sale has increased and average price of homes is not increasing as fast as it once was, see chart below. Several Idaho Realtors believe that home values have come up enough that many are no longer under water in their home and are looking to move.
Over the next month there are several new larger communities launching, which will be the first in at least 5 years. Although this will increase the availability of lots in Treasure Valley, lot prices are not expected to drop which also affects home values. In 2014, many new subdivisions are planned as well.
The Big Picture- Many forecasts see enormous growth in the population of Boise for the foreseeable future. In fact one study predicts that there will be a housing shortage by 2015? Another forecast, though I cannot rememebr the source, shows migration to Boise doubling in 2015, which explains the housing shortage.

Hi. I just arrived at leviathan pits and finally found the 15k luxon armor crafter there.
As some of u may have seen; 15k jade armor costs a bit too much for some1 to gather during the event.
As i'd like to see how it looks like i propose the following: we gather a few ppl here that have reached the jade armor crafter: 1 female and 1 male for each class and the rest of us donate whatever they want (Jadeite, amber, plat, materials or dyes) to those ppl so that they can buy the 15k armor and post the SS here.
As all items will be reset, u have nothing to loose by donating to this project.
What do u say?
Models should leave their IGN and a SS proving that they have reached the armor crafter.
BTW, by the small pics it looks like all 15k armor looks the same (like fow one).
Unfortunatelly i won't be able to play tomorrow, but i may login just for a second in the morning to donate all i have.

Green Corn Tamales With Cheese And Chile
60 minutes
4 medium-sized ears corn in husks
2 cups masa harina (corn tortilla flour)
3/4 cup melted lard
1 cup warm water
2 tsp. sugar
Salt, to taste
3 cups Colby jack cheese,
2 (4 oz.) cans Ortega diced green chiles
How to make it
With a strong, sharp knife or cleaver, cut through husk, corn and cob of each ear of corn, removing about 1/4" of corn on both ends of each ear.
Peel off husks without tearing them; rinse. To keep moist, place in plastic bags and seal; set aside. Pull silk from corn and discard; rinse corn.
With a knife or a corn scraper, cut the kernels from cobs; you will need 3 cups, lightly packed. Whirl in a food processor until finely ground. In a large mixer bowl, With a wooden spoon, mix together processed corn, masa harina, and warm water. Cover and let set for 20 minutes (masa will appear dry). Fit a paddle attachment on mixer. Beat shortening and sugar, into masa on medium speed for 1 minute. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with rubber spatula. Continue mixing until masa resembles a thick creamy paste. Add salt, to taste. mix just to combine.
To shape each tamal, Holding the husk with the widest part away from you, place 2 Tbsp. masa in the center of the husk and spread outwards, leaving 2" at the bottom, and within 1/2" from the top, without masa. Add 1 Tbsp. cheese and 1 tsp. green chile in the center. Tri-fold the husk sides,over the masa. and fold up the bottom.
In a large steamer pot, with a rack that's 1" above boiling water, stand tamales upright folded end down. Support them against other tamales so ends stay shut. You can fill pan to capacity with tamales, stacking, but they need to be loose fitted into steamer so heat can circulate. Steam until tamales in center are firm to touch, not runny (pull a tamal out and open to test). about 1 hour. Add boiling water to pan as required to maintain water level.
Serve tamales hot; you can keep them warm over hot water for several hours. To freeze, let cool completely, then place in a single layer on baking sheets; When frozen solid, transfer to plastic bags and store in freezer for up to 6 months. To reheat, let thaw; then steam above boiling water until heated through, about 15 minutes.

A vehicular manslaughter case, which has been ongoing since April, was revisted Friday in Hillsboro Municipal Court.
Betty L. Shelton, 34, of Lynchburg, was arraigned for vehicular manslaughter on May 7, according to court records.
An affidavit filed with the municipal court states that on or about Aug. 16 of last year, Shelton allegedly "pulled from Danville Road onto U.S. 50 and failed to yield the right of way to the operator of a motorcycle, James Patton."
Patton, according to the affidavit, later died as a result of the injuries received in the crash.
On Friday, the case was continued and set for a pretrial on July 11 until the surviving spouse could be reached. Susan Zurface was appointed as special prosecutor in the case.
Also on Friday, seven OVI cases were heard, with five defendants accepting plea agreements.
Amy Shannon, 34, of Williamsburg, entered into an agreement wherein she would plead guilty to a charge of driving on a suspended license, a first-degree misdemeanor. The OVI charge, a drug paraphernalia charge, and a left of center charge were all dismissed.
Hillsboro Municipal Court Judge David H. McKenna said this was Shannon's fourth OVI in four years. The OVI charge was dismissed, in part, he said, because it had not been indicted as a felony by a grand jury.
McKenna added that the case could be subject to resentencing.
After Shannon said she was going to make improvements, McKenna said, "But you keep doing it? Why is this going to be any different than all the others?"
He added, "You better hope you're doing more than just talking about being different this time."
She was sentenced to 180 days in jail, 150 of which were suspended. In addition, she was placed on two years reporting probation, must obtain counseling at the Talbert House, and complete a driver intervention program. She will be on a 9 p.m. until 6 a.m. curfew until her counseling is completed.
Shannon is also currently under electronic monitoring house arrest. She will remain on that until she has provided proof of attendance at the Talbert House.
A review hearing was scheduled for Sept. 15. "What you do between now and then may or may not talk me out of that 30 day jail sentence." He added that her actions may also "talk (him) into the 180 days."
McKenna also said the substance abuse counseling should be considered with high importance "so your children don't have to be going to a funeral home rather than wondering if they're going to visit you in jail."
Also entering into a plea agreement was Amy Marshall, 43, of Decatur, Ohio. She pled guilty to OVI and a failure to control charge was dismissed.
She will have to pay a fine of $375 as well as court costs. In addition, Marshall will have to complete a three day driver intervention program. Her driver's license was suspended for 180 days, except for family necessity, work, or the driver prevention program.
Her case is scheduled for a review hearing on Dec. 18.
David Jones, 48, of Dayton, entered into a plea agreement in which an OVI charge was amended to reckless operation, a third-degree misdemeanor.
He was given 60 days in jail, 57 of which were suspended. His driver's license was suspended until March 7, 2015. He was placed on reporting probation, must complete counseling, and must also observe a curfew from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. until all fines and community service are completed. In addition, he is prohibited from having alcohol.
The OVI charge was also a probation violation of a previous domestic violence conviction. He was given 30 days in jail, which were furloughed until Dec. 8. At that time, his case will also be reviewed.
James E. Stephan II, 48, of Dover, also entered into a plea agreement concerning an OVI. As per the agreement, the charge was amended to third-degree misdemeanor equipment violation.
McKenna said that, "because of the circumstances," which included Stephan being a CDL driver and the fact that he had a low blood alcohol test, a 30 day jail sentence would be suspended and his driving privileges were continued. Stephan will also have to pay a $500 fine plus court costs.
His case was scheduled for a review hearing on Oct. 2.
Also accepting a plea agreement was James Welsh, 66, of Hillsboro. As per the agreement, an OVI charge was amended to fourth-degree misdemeanor reckless operation and a minor misdemeanor headlights charge was dismissed. The state recommended three days in a driver intervention program and that any jail time be suspended.
When asked if he had anything to say, Welsh apologized for his actions.
"You don't have to apologize to me," McKenna said. "You might want to consider that for your family if you caused them any hardships."
He was sentenced to 30 days in jail, 27 of which were suspended. He will be given three days of credit for completing the driver intervention program. In addition, he will have to pay a $250 fine and court costs.
During an arraignment hearing, Toni Powell pled guilty to OVI, a first-degree misdemeanor. McKenna said Powell had also had a different OVI charge in Clinton County last year, making this her second offense in less than six years.
She was also charged with possession of marijuana and open container, both minor misdemeanors.
The open container charge was dismissed. When asked about the other two charges, Powell said she had nothing to say.
McKenna then asked Powell why she hadn't returned to court in Clinton County when she was supposed to in February. Powell said she couldn't remember the reason. He then asked why she had not tried to appear in the last four months.
"I thought it was over," Powell said.
"It's not over until you hold up your end of the deal," McKenna said.
She was fined $50 for the marijuana charge and $525 for the OVI. She was sentenced to 90 days in jail which could be subject to resentencing. Eighty of those days were suspended. The rest of that sentence began when she was taken into custody on Thursday. After being released, Powell will be taken to Clinton County. She was also placed on reporting probation.
Her case was scheduled for a review hearing on Dec. 1.
Shelby Collett, 29, of Milford, turned herself in to law enforcement concerning an OVI charge she had been found guilty of last year. McKenna said, since that time, she had not paid any fines or court costs, had not provided proof of completing a driver intervention program, and had not appeared on Nov. 23. On that date, a warrant had been issued for her arrest.
When asked why she did not come to court last November, she said, "It's just been crazy."
She said she had turned herself in so that she could find out how to resolve the pending issues.
When asked if she would pass a drug test, she said she would not and that she would fail for marijuana.
"That's a problem, too," McKenna said.
Then, when asked how long it would take to pay her fine, Collett said, "Not long."
"I'm not sure 'not long' by your definition is the same as 'not long' by my definition," said the judge.
She was given a seven day sentence for not paying her fines, not appearing for court, and not completing the driver intervention program. She will be in jail until June 30. A review hearing was scheduled for Dec. 1, at which time she may serve the rest of her sentence if those previous matters are not "taken care of."
Finally, Elise A. Garrett, 24, of Mt. Orab, appeared in municipal court concerning her fourth speeding violation in less than 12 months.
She pled guilty and the state recommended a suspended sentence.
When asked if she had anything to say, Garrett said, "I was careless, irresponsible … and I was racing to work."
In reviewing her recent cases, McKenna said, "You seem to be careless behind the wheel of a vehicle a lot."
She was sentenced to 60 days in jail, all of which were suspended. Garrett was also placed on reporting probation and will have to a pay $500 fine plus court costs.
McKenna said this newest offense constituted a probation violation. As such, the 10 days in jail, which had been previously suspended, were reinstated.
McKenna said Garrett was "lucky," as she would not have to begin serving those on Friday as there were already 15 women in the jail.
The 10 days will begin on Aug 7. On that date, depending on her actions, McKenna said, "You might be able to talk me out of (the jail sentence)."
"So far, you weren't able to go three weeks without getting a new charge," MCcKenna said. He added that, while Garrett may have referred to her actions as careless, he regarded it as "reckless disregard of the traffic laws because for some reason you seem to think they don't apply to you this year."
He added, "I certainly hope for your sake I don't see you before that (Aug. 7), because then I might have to let someone out of jail to make room for you."

More Clinton White House records to be released Friday
Posted: March 26, 2014 at 3:24 p.m.
WASHINGTON — The National Archives plans to release another 2,500 pages of documents from former President Bill Clinton's White House on Friday.
The Clinton Presidential Library is disseminating a third batch of previously unreleased records to the public. Records released since February have covered the Clinton administration's unsuccessful health care overhaul plan, Republicans' sweeping victories during the 1994 midterm elections and other topics.
The records come as the former president's wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, considers a 2016 presidential campaign. The records have shed more light on her role within the administration and her aides' attempts to shape her public image as first lady.
About 8,000 pages of records have been released so far.

Going to Sardegna in Fall... a shorttrip to see the sun
October in Munich. Temperatures are below 18°C and it's clearly, summer is gone.
Wolfgang called us on a friday afternoon and told us, he will be going to sardegna
for a short trip mid october with a friend and he would be happy if we can join
them. Short trip to sardegna? heading from munich to the ferry in livorno (750k)
on oct. 15th and taking the nightferry? 4 days on the island and then back to
munich? sounds like a saddlesore thing, we are in.
we booked the ferry the same evening over the internet (50.- EUR) and began
to pack our stuff.
On Oct. 15th we were starting at 07:00h and taking the autobahn to austria.
cause we have not enough time for sightseeing, we bought our toll stickers
for a week (4,4o EUR) for the austrian highway and met a nice couple at the
gas station. temperatures are now 0°C. freezing.
we were planing to meet wolfi and his friend at the ferry. the friend was from
berlin and arrived in munich by train. wolfi and joerg are going from munich to
livorno a hour or two later than us.
the couple at the gasstation told us, thats funny, that the first two persons
they meet since they got of the train from berlin (guess what) were also on
their way to sardegna and they also met a young man which is going there
too. we told them (more guessing), yes, thats joerg.
it's cold at the austrian border, so we went on, hoping that when passing the
alps, it will be much warmer than here. 10 hrs till the ferry leaves. we have to
marion asked me to go directly to livorno, just austrian highway, italian autostrada
and then hop on the ferry without any problems. nice plan ... ;)

2004 R1150 Alternator Problem
Started up this yesterday, rode to get a newspaper. Stopped, went to start, wouldn't turn over. The battery was only charged enough to move the engine a quarter turn. I put it in 6th and rolled it down hill and it started, phew.
Rode home. Shut off. Tried restarting, and it turned over and started.
I noticed the other day that the Batt/Alt light bulb didn't turn on with the key but thought I'd look into it later. I was able to duplicate that symptom. When I measure the D+ wire at the alternator it's at 12 volts, which is coming from the indicator lamp, so it seems that the rotor, slip rings or voltage regulator isn't providing a ground. I the grounded D+ lead to make sure the bulb and wire were good and the bulb lit so everything is good up to the alternator. To me it appears that either the slip ring connection to the rotor is intermittent, or a wire is loose at the regulator or the voltage regulator has a problem.
The bike is an '04 R1150 with just under 30K miles. How likely is it that the slip rings aren't making a good connection?
The starting failure sounds more like a starter motor problem.
Check your battery cables on both ends, especially the ground .
Thanks for the suggestions.
I won't be able to open it up for a couple days but I now think I have two problems. One is that the alternator D+ circuit has a problem which I have to step my way through.
The second issue is that either the starter is drawing a lot of current sometimes or the battery, a less than one year old PC680, is defective and loses charge.
I'll post again when I know more.
Oh boy, this is gonna be educational.
I believe Roger knows Ohm, Kirchoff, Volta, Schottky and Tesla personally...maybe even Plank, Joule and Coulomb.
I'm stayin' tuned.
And that the combined bare earths in the instrument loom have a common habit of corroding due to water ingress in the outer sheath and causing instrument light problems . :D
The battery took a long time to recharge so I'm thinking starter motor load is depleting the battery. I've had the starter motor out about a year ago and it didn't seem to need much more than cleaning to get the post-start squealing to disappear. But not knowing about the magnets and not realizing what a meal I would make out of getting the circlip and retainer back on the shaft I ran out of time and never opened the motor—so I get to do it a second time.
It could be a wiring problem with that light but given the there is +12V on the D+ at the diag connector, no Batt/Alt light and no alternator start. It seems like either there is no +12V at the D+ post on the alternator or a problem inside it.
But I won't know much more till I open it up which won't happen until I shovel some snow. Hear that Def?
first thing I would start off with is the easy stuff... alternator B+ should have battery voltage at all times. that voltage should rise when the engine is running, and it should stabilize somewhere around 14v. if it does that the next thing I would do is load test the battery.
the initial inrush current to the starter could be as high as a couple hundred amps for half a second or so... most meters can not respond in time to read that. without some specs it's hard to evaluate the starter motor unless it is really screwed. I can make an educated guess at the no load run current but thats all it would be. also, some series motors don't like to be run no load... not enough current to let the CEMF limit RPM resulting in the motor flinging out it's windings.
OK, wait a minute...Jimmy's is closed...try Anthony's Pier 4....
Instead ...
No Name ...
Back to business ...
I pulled all the plastic and the fuel tank. The Blue D+ wire connects to a spade terminal on the alternator with a press-on female spade. Wiggling that connection restored continuity to the circuit and the Batt/Alt light now comes on at Key On. My garage is below freezing today and that press-on connection is in a knuckle-busting location. As soon as it warms up I'll check for corrosion and/or a loose fit. It looks like I won't have to pull the alternator.
Further investigation of the starter will have to wait for a warmer day.
We're talking about Boston restaurants here. I used to frequent Jimmy's years ago but have not been to Boston in, oh, I dunno, 25 years maybe?
I see it is now Legal Harborside.
As a kid (about 5), I went aboard the Constitution (Boston harbor, circa 1943) and rang the ship's bell. All hands came running...dad had to apologize to the OD on duty.
Hijack on ...
Def, hi!
I can explain.
In between Anthony's Pier 4 and Jimmy's Harborside, is the Boston Fish Pier. This is where the fishing boats come in every day and at the end of the pier is where the fish are bid on, every morning. The boats are lined up on both sides of the pier, fish are unloaded, and then they go into the buildings on each side of the pier, where they are sorted and sometimes processed. From there the fish go through the building to the trucks, which take them to the various processing plants or refrigerated buildings, to be readied to ship to stores.
So half way up the pier is this one little door way, with seven steps up to it, that the guys who work on the pier go to eat. There's no name on the door, no sign above it, and nothing to make it look different than any other entrance into any of the other processing businesses. This is a little hole in the wall place that has the best seafood in all of Boston. It used to be BYOB, and you'd see people showing up with coolers full of beer or wine. That's changed, now both wine and beer are on the menu. The fish chowder was unbelievable, as was every other dish. How could it not be, the fish literally was coming off the boat into their kitchen door.
They were open at night, and it would be common to have a line out the door, waiting to be seated. My guess is they have probably been voted the best seafood restaurant in Boston for years and years. But it's not fancy like Jimmy's or Anthony's. It's a combination of your local diner, and old world Boston.
No Name Restaurant in Boston <--- link
I will say that as great as No Name is, that doesn't mean Anthony's and Jimmy's weren't incredible, they were. Anthony's still serves the giant pop-overs, outstanding food, and has the walls of fame with photos of every movie star and politician. Jimmy's always had great food, and a certain classy culture to it.
One thing about Jimmy's was if you had a job there, it probably meant your father had a job there at one time, and his father before him. My best recollection is the waiters (no waitresses back then, not at Jimmy's) were in their 50's to 70's, the bus boys weren't much younger. And predominantly you could tell that everyone was from The North End.
Here's an accounting folklore story about Jimmy's. In the 70's I was at Bentley College, in Boston, an accounting school. One of my tax professors explained about taxes on wages for waiters and waitresses by telling the story about Jimmy's.
The IRS stationed investigators in cars outside of Jimmy's for months. They counted the number of people who went into Jimmy's every day and night. From the attendance numbers they extrapolated what the gross revenues were. Using that number they were able to estimate what each waiter was making in tips. Then they audited everyone. Back then, the waiters were claiming $4000 to $10,000 in tips, but the IRS had figured out they were making $35,000 to $60,000 a year in tips. This was in the early 70's!
The case hit the news of course, and it was used as an example in front of Congress to change the reporting requirements of employers, and set up the 8% law, that every server had to claim at least 8% in tips on their daily sales. For anyone who's been a waiter or waitress, you'll probably remember the 8% rule. The law said to claim the higher of actual tips or 8%.
So there, now that I've thoroughly hijacked this thread, that's the story of The No Name Restaurant.
How's that?
Wow Liz, you're a story teller like me...
We could probably talk each other's arms and legs loose with our stories...like the time the family was living in Cambridge (WWII) and dad was in the USN studying at MIT to learn about how to invent RADAR and I would go to the Rad Lab with him and twist switches and knobs on prototypes RADARs....and the air raids and blackouts....
But, I digress. Next time I get to Boston, I'm goin' to the harbor and find no name.
I just realized, we're gonna have to teach Roger how to spell alternator...Heh-heh. :deal

SUBANG JAYA: A man who just turned 74 a few days ago was killed by a bull terrier while jogging in his housing area.
Yip Sun Wah died at the scene after the dog bit him on the neck and almost tore off his left ear in the 9.50am incident in Jalan SS19/5B, about 1km from Yip's house here.
The dog ran out of its owner's house and attacked Yip for almost four minutes before returning home.
A car salesman, who only wanted to be identified as Addy, 44, said he was on his way to meet a customer when he saw Yip being attacked by the dog.
He said he tried to hit the dog with his umbrella but it was too aggressive and only stopped attacking after Yip was motionless.
It is learnt that the owner had just got the animal about three months ago after her house was robbed.
Subang Jaya OCPD ACP Yahaya Ramli said the 25-year-old female accountant had bought the animal from a private kennel. He said she has a licence to keep the dog.
"We have released her after recording her statement," he added.
ACP Yahaya also said the dog had escaped from the house through the rubbish compartment door which was not properly secured.
The victim's body was sent to the University Malaya Medical Centre while the dog is now with the Shah Alam Municipal Council.
ACP Yahaya said the animal would be tested to ascertain if it has any disease.
The victim's eldest son Hon Mun, 51, said he was informed of the incident by an eyewitness who called him using his father's mobile phone.
"I rushed to the scene immediately but my father was already dead," he said, adding the victim had been jogging in the area for the past 20 years.
The case is being investigated under Section 304(a) of the Penal Code for causing death by negligence which carries a maximum two years' jail sentence or a fine or both.
Meanwhile, Subang Jaya Municipal Council director Dr Roslan Mohamed Hussin said it had started checking residential areas in the township for breeds that were said to be aggressive and dangerous.
"Seven dog breeds, namely Akita, Neapolitan Mastiff, American Bulldog, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, Japanesa Tosa and American Pit Bull are predisposed to aggressive or dangerous behaviour," he said.
The council is also enforcing a directive from the Selangor Veterinary Department to ban these "unmanageable or possibly dangerous" breeds.

I am not making fun of any of you but what do you think may happen that you would need more loaded mags than a Marine carries into battle?
With all this talk about fiscal cliffs I say keep 'em all loaded cause if SHTF then the last thing you want to worry about is loading mags. I only have enough ammo and weapons that I can carry on my person. 2 Glocks, 1 pistol grip shotgun in a scarabe on my backpack, and 1 AK. With 10 mag chest rig.

The sometimes forced if well-intentioned social proselytizing is alleviated by the well-drawn relationships among the central characters.
Ross's on-the-nose script offers little subtext or nuance, and the film—for all the inherent drama of the situation—has very little real-life grit.
In a better movie you might play along with contrived plot twists and fake obstacles, but watching I Do, a movie with thin characters and a languorous pace, you find yourself talking back to the screen.
Someday, when gay Americans enjoy full equality, we can all hope their sexuality will finally stop being used as fodder for dopey, hopelessly contrived dramas like I Do.

Celebrating Retirement: Odessa Named a Retirement Community
By Geoff Folsom, Odessa American, Texas
Aug. 5–When asked what the application process was like for Odessa to become a Texas Certified Retirement Community, Jim Rector dropped a 4-inch thick spiral-bound notebook on the podium in the City Council Chambers at Odessa City Hall.
"You can write this down for yourself," said Rector, chairman of the committee that used 72 volunteers to put together an application for the Texas Department of Agriculture to review.
The book covered 25 topics, took 13 months to put together and consisted of "I don't have a clue, several hundred" pages, Rector said.
But the work paid off with Odessa being named the largest community in the state and first in West Texas to be named a Certified Retirement Community.
"We never had to redo anything or answer any questions," Rector said.
The designation means the Odessa Chamber of Commerce will have a link on the agriculture department's retirement website, which will lead prospective retirees to information about the city, chamber chairman David Boutin said.
Along with Odessa'a climate and healthcare facilities, Boutin said the revamped Ratliff Ranch Golf Links and the Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center would lure retirees.
"It demonstrates to the state that we measure up, and it gives a very modern vehicle for retirees to be directed to Odessa," Boutin said.
Mayor Larry Melton said the designation, which the city applied for in April, is a result of Odessa coming to the forefront in several areas.
"Our doors are open, and we welcome all those who find Odessa a great place to retire," he said.
Rector said a "minimum" of 10 to 15 retirees are likely to move to Odessa annually because of the designation, which will help with the economy and workforce.
O.B. Cabett, 76, said he looks forward to being joined by fellow retirees.
"We don't have earthquakes. We're not flooded. We don't have to shovel snow, and we've got everything around us" he said. "It's good people."

I did a SS1000 in September, with the summit of Pikes Peak as the turn around point. Last January I did one all in Texas, all on small state highways... no interstates or big highways. Route planning for that was harder, and the ride took longer than sitting on an interstate... but running 500 miles out on an interstate, and turning around and running 500 miles back home, does not really interest me.
I feel like I do these rides for myself. I am always excited to get a new IBA certificate in the mail. But after I read over it I put it in a three ring binder where I keep all the certificates, along with maps of each ride. And the binder goes back on the top of the bookshelf. Nothing at all wrong with displaying the certificates. But I just stash them away. I did the ride for me and no one else.
Earlier you brought up the need some feel for respect. It is true. There are some riders who lord their accomplishments over others, or feel they are due respect because of what they have done. This is probably true in any sport or profession. When I was in my 20s I was much more egotistical than I am now. I might have said the words "put up or shut up", back then. Today (at the ripe old age of 37) I believe that what I have done is meaningful for me alone. But I do not expect non-participants to understand it or for anyone to give me any kind of respect or applause because of it. I didn't do any of these rides for anyone other than myself. I would hope that others respected me for being honest and helpful, for being willing to help wrench on a bike or lend a hand, etc...... But why should anyone else care about the rides I have done for myself?
I appreciate your thoughtful questions. It is making me think through why I enjoy this kind of riding so much.

Runway Spending in Allen: Airport Pooling Money, Using Grant to Extend Strip for Larger Planes
By Bart Mills, The Lima News, Ohio
Jun. 18–PERRY TOWNSHIP — Economic development folks will tell you, when it comes to runways, size matters.
Allen County Airport officials are gathering funds with the hope of extending their current 5,100-foot runway by another 1,400 feet. Airport Board President Jon Neuman said the more than $4 million project is an investment in the region's economic future.
"A lot of the big businesses that come to this region come in through the airport. It's important that we make a good first impression," Neuman said.
The expansion project will be broken into two parts — a $1.9 million excavation project that will begin this fall, and about $2.4 million in paving to take place next year. The airport board received a $1.18 million federal grant to begin the work and has asked commissioners for $59,350 to make its required match for the grant. Board members expect to receive another federal grant to help pay for the second leg of the project.
"We're in line for it. Typically, once they've started the project they follow through," Neuman said.
The board originally planned to take the runway to 6,000 feet, but decided later to add another 500 feet to accommodate some of the larger charter planes using the field. It will have to raise another $700,000 to pay for the additional 500 feet.
"We're meeting with [state Sen.] Keith Faber and [state Rep.] Matt Huffman and other political groups to see what they can do to help," Neuman said.
The runway extension is just one of many improvements made to the airport in recent months. It recently added a new instrument landing system and Global Positioning System approach, making it easier for planes to land in poor visibility. It also offers fuel sales, plane rental and has added flight training for would-be pilots.
Neuman said the improvements are all investments in the long-term viability of the airport and in the economic development of the 11-county region it serves.
"People aren't really aware of the executives and businesses we can attract through the airport. It's an important part of what we offer as a county and for the whole region," Neuman said.
