OKALOOSA ISLAND — Spring breakers have started to arrive in Northwest Florida, and thousands more are expected to show up in coming weeks.
Students from Indiana, Ohio, Mississippi, Texas, Minnesota, Michigan, Texas and, of course, Florida are in the area now. In the upcoming weeks, spring breakers from Florida State, Auburn, the University of Texas and dozens of other schools are expected to arrive.

"What I've heard from some of the lodging folks is that advanced reservations (for spring break) looked pretty promising," said Dan O'Byrne, director of Okaloosa County's Tourist Development Council. "Some of them were up double digits.
"We're really looking forward to it and we're just going to continue to build," he added. "For the first four months of the year our revenues continue to be up about a little over 2 percent year over year. I'm hoping that we build on that and continue to build on this momentum this year, and that we hope to have a really good year. (Spring break) is one really important piece of it."
O'Byrne said he hopes the recent chilly weather will not have a dramatic effect on whether or not students decide to spend spring break along the Emerald Coast.
Although locals might complain about the weather, Ball State University sophomore Erika Lindley said it was much warmer than Muncie, Ind., where she came from. Lindley and classmate Shelley Lehman were two of a few people on the beach at Beasley Park late Tuesday morning.
"This is the nicest day that it looked like (we would get)," Lindley said. "This is a lot warmer than Indiana. There's a snow storm warning right now.
"I love it. I love Florida. I want to come back," she added.
The return of spring breakers is a welcome sight for Sherri Hopkin at the Waffle House on Okaloosa Island. She said the spring break crowd is a big part of its business this time of year.
"It started early this year, so ours won't kick in until next week," Hopkin said. "They're coming in and they're coming early, but we won't see (the large crowds) until a little down the road.
"I'm glad they come," she added. "If we didn't have them we wouldn't have anything."
Although spring breakers get a bad reputation sometimes, Georgia Murray, Hopkin's co-worker at Waffle House, said they are good customers.
"They're generous to us. They're polite. They like chocolate chip waffles and chocolate milk," Murray said. "But they've always been polite and good tippers; they don't stiff us and they take care of us.
"The majority of them have been very pleasant: 'yes ma'am and yes ma'am,' " she added. "I don't have anything bad to say about them at all. I appreciate them."
Ball State sophomore Krystal Palmer made her first trip to Destin for spring break this year with Ohio University sophomore Morgan Stanley, who visited with her family when she was younger. Palmer has been very impressed with what she has seen so far.
"I've been to Florida, but not to Destin," Palmer said on the beach at Beasley Park. "I love it. It's really pretty and it's nicer because it's not very touristy. It's more real."
The two sophomores plan to keep their vacation low key. They want some sushi, plan to shop and might go to a club.
"We're just trying to relax, get away from school and stay away from Panama (City)," Stanley said.

A Boston native, Dr. Anne Lapidus Lerner is an emerita member of the Department of Jewish Literature at The Jewish Theological Seminary. A member of the JTS faculty since 1969, Dr. Lerner was the first woman to serve as a JTS vice chancellor, and thus as one of the highest-ranking women in American Jewish institutional life. She had previously served as dean of the Albert A. List College of Jewish Studies, and as associate dean of The Graduate School.
A pioneer in the field of Jewish Women's Studies and founding director of the JTS Jewish Women's Studies Program (now the Jewish Gender and Women's Studies Program), Dr. Lerner continues to teach courses on biblical texts and their afterlife in rabbinic and modern Jewish literature, portrayals of women in Jewish literature, and Hebrew and American Jewish poetry. For many years, she led a seminar designed to help first-year rabbinical students develop as rabbis.
Dr. Lerner served as the chair and organizer of the groundbreaking conference "This Is My Prayer—Va'ani Tefillati: Jewish Women in Prayer" in March 2009, which brought together women from the various denominations of Judaism to explore prayer in their lives. Watch videos from the conference.
Dr. Lerner's most recent book, Eternally Eve: Images of Eve in the Hebrew Bible, Midrash, and Modern Jewish Poetry (Brandeis University Press, 2007) presents a rethinking of the prevailing image of the first woman. Her publications also include Who Has Not Made Me a Man: The Movement for Equal Rights for Women in American Judaism, which has become a classic study of the interaction between the second wave of American feminism and Judaism, and Passing the Love of Women: A Study of Gide's "Saül" and Its Biblical Roots, an examination of the ways in which the French writer André Gide reinterpreted the Saul stories in 1 Samuel. Dr. Lerner is an editor of the volume Gender and Text: Feminist Approaches to Modern Hebrew and Yiddish Literature, published by JTS. Her articles on Jewish literature and Jewish life have appeared in many periodicals, both scholarly and popular.
Dr. Lerner's many awards and honors include an honorary doctor of humane letters, Hebrew College (Boston), June 2012; the JTS Chancellor's Award for Outstanding Teaching in The Rabbinical School, 2010; and being named Woman of Distinction, Women's League for Conservative Judaism, November 2002.
A popular lecturer and scholar-in-residence in a variety of Jewish contexts, both formal and informal, Dr. Lerner was scholar-in-residence at the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute at Brandeis University (fall 2011), where she continues as a Research Associate. During the 2001–2002 academic year, Dr. Lerner served as visiting lecturer and research associate at the Harvard University Divinity School's Women's Studies in Religion program. Her community involvement includes the editorial boards of Hadassah, Judaism, Nashim, and Lilith.
Dr. Lerner earned BA, MA, and PhD degrees from Harvard University, as well as BJEd and MHL degrees from Hebrew College in Boston.
Dr. Lerner's husband, Rabbi Stephen C. Lerner, is the founder and director of the Center for Conversion to Judaism, and rabbi of Kanfei Shahar Minyan in Teaneck, New Jersey. Their son, Rabbi David Lerner, is rabbi of Temple Emunah in Lexington, Massachusetts. Their daughter, Rahel Lerner, teaches Hebrew and Jewish Studies at the Krieger Schechter Day School of Chizuk Amuno Congregation in Baltimore.

A HAWKSHEAD Brewery beer was voted overall champion at the Brewers' Society Northern Beer Competition held in Manchester.
Hawkshead Brewery's Windermere Pale won the gold medal in the bitter pale ales category and a second gold for being judged overall champion of the competition.
Some 250 beers from 80 breweries were entered into the competition run by the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA).
The North region is the largest of the seven SIBA regions of Britain.
The beers are judged in one of eight categories, the bitter category being the biggest.
Category winners then go forward to a national competition of winners of all seven regions.
Windermere Pale at 3.5% abv is hoppy and refreshing, pale gold in colour with a long bitter finish with hints of grapefruit.
The fruity hop flavours come from a medley of traditional and modern hops.
Managing director of Hawkshead Brewery Alex Brodie said: "Windermere Pale is a very popular beer, it has a lot of fans.
"It has become the best selling beer in The Beer Hall at the Brewery.
"It is one of those beers that is winning converts to real ale."
TWO thirds of the red kites released in Grizedale Forest last summer have survived the harsh winter.
Wildlife rangers believe that around 20 of the 30 birds released in the Forestry Commission's three-year re-introduction programme made it through the winter and are still in Cumbria, or nearby counties. Between five and eight of the birds are believed to be living around Grizedale and the Rusland Valley, with another three to five inhabiting the Kirkby Moor area near Ulverston.
Four more Grizedale red kites have been spotted by RSPB experts at feeding stations in Dumfries and Galloway – the furthest known movement is by the bird tagged as number four, which has flown 120km north west into Scotland.
"The birds are doing pretty much exactly as we expected, which is very encouraging," said Iain Yoxall, Forestry Commission wildlife ranger. "We are more confident that these birds will make it to adults now they have made it through a harsh winter. Sadly we lost a few birds but that is natural and why we have to release the numbers that we did."
The 30 red kites released from a secret location in Grizedale Forest in August last year had coloured tags on each wing. An orange tag on their left wing shows they are from Grizedale, and blue tags on their right wings indicate that they were released in 2010. Some birds were also fitted with radio transmitters to help with monitoring.
Mr Yoxall, who has been following the birds' movements around Cumbria, said the help he has received from the public had been invaluable. "I have been radio tracking the birds but sightings from members of the public have been a fantastic help and greatly appreciated. This has been very important because it helps us find the birds and backs up our radio tracking results to give us a more robust picture of their movements. We hope that the public will continue letting us know when and where they make sightings of the red kites."
This year's birds will hatch in May and are likely to be released into Grizedale Forest in August. The red kites being introduced into Grizedale are the product of a reintroduction programme that took place in Northamptonshire in the 1980s.
Red kites were almost eradicated from the UK following changes in farming practices and human persecution between the 16th and 19th centuries. But they managed to cling on in Wales, and their numbers recovered slowly thanks to the actions of local conservationists

The Trap Bar & Grill
Time: 3:00pm – 6:00pm
Admission: Free
Category: Apres Music
Ben Winship and Thomas Sneed share a unique friendship founded in their love of music. They both have had distinguished careers in American folk music. Their duet gigs feature a variety of styles and instruments formed from many nights of late night picking sessions in Teton Valley. The setlists for apres ski can cover a variety of songs and tunes from bluegrass, old-time, folk, country, early jazz and Americana fusions. Winship has graced the trap bar stage many times over the last few decades and is the founder of the Targhee Music Camp.
Winship is a self-made musician. His routine is a constantly shifting mix of performing, recording, engineering and teaching. Mandolin is Ben's primary ax, but he is also a well respected songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist.
Winship's version of string band music is an exploration of crossroads; where raw meets refined, original meets traditional, weird meets familiar, organized meets free ranging. The Boston Globe called his sound "A further leap from traditional hill country music." While Tim O'Brien refers to him as "One of the acoustic music scene's best writers."
Over the past 25 years, gigs have taken him everywhere from Hawaii to Shetland, Anchorage to Equator, with appearances along the way at places like the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Strawberry Music Festival, A Prairie Home Companion and the Vancouver Folk Festival.
Thomas Sneed is a mandolinist and musical historian. He has performed at numerous musical festivals and venues including the Grand Old Opry, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Merlefest, the Kennedy Center and the "Down From the Mountain Tour," which featured music from the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou." His mandolin playing was featured in the motion picture "Cold Mountain." He has worked with the Center for Appalachian Studies in Tennessee collecting oral histories with musicians and is currently the director of the Targhee Music Camp.

During the '08 Labor Day weekend, the Detroit Grand Prix made its triumphant return with the roar of Corvette C6R thunder. The American Le Mans Series (ALMS) had decided to make Detroit a regular stop in its yearly season schedule. The Detroit event has now become a home race for the main parties involved in the Corvette Racing program. These included Detroit-based General Motors, Corvette Racing's Pratt & Miller group, and C6R engine builder Kaytech Engineering.
For the many people involved in the Corvette Racing program, the Detroit Grand Prix was a wonderful opportunity to actually see the C6R run in competition. This year, due to the ALMS go-green initiative, the C6R Corvettes are running E85R racing fuel. A concept E85-fueled Corvette Z06 was the official pace car for the ALMS race. Driving the pace car was former Formula 1 and Indy Car legend Emerson Fittipaldi. As was the case in 2007, the '08 event was held during the Labor Day weekend on beautiful Belle Isle Park.
This picturesque island, surrounded by the aqua-blue waters of the Detroit River, is located approximately two miles east of the city's downtown area. The American Le Mans Series and the Indy Racing League shared in the festivities last year. Added to this year's schedule was the Speed World Challenge GT Series. The three-day event took place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the holiday weekend.
Friday was free-admission day, which included practice for ALMS, IRL, and the Speed World Challenge. This was followed by afternoon qualifying for the ALMS. Saturday included the American Le Mans Series race, also known as The Detroit Sports Car Challenge. And finally, Sunday featured the Speed World Challenge and IRL races. For Corvette owners looking for a great weekend destination, the Detroit Grand Prix would be worth considering. This was evident by the many Corvette owners and fans that made the pilgrimage to Detroit for the inaugural event in 2007 as well as this year.
Fans were entertained throughout the weekend. Event activities included a family fun center and free concerts. Attending Corvette fans were treated to three days of racing and camaraderie. Situated close to the race action was the Corvette Corral, providing special "on island" parking for Corvette owners. This special designated area was the only spectator parking available on the island. All other fans attending the race were transported to and from the island via designated bus service from various locations around the city.
The purchase of a corral parking pass included grandstand tickets and an opportunity to parade your Corvette around the actual race circuit. The parade lap was a big hit among the participating Corvette owners. Thanks to an invitation by the Corvette Club of Michigan, I was offered the opportunity to experience the actual track conditions during one of the parade laps. While riding as a passenger with club member Ken Sumner in his Torch Red '02 Z06, I immediately noticed the challenges that faced the C6R drivers. Although traveling at parade lap speeds (for the most part), in Ken's street legal C5 Z06, the dips and bumps in the circuit were evident. Not only did the narrow street circuit offer little room for error, but limited run-off areas would make passing difficult. In fact, the only place that offered sufficient passing room was on the back straight along the Detroit River. The front straight seemed wide enough, but not long enough for overtaking. Aggressive braking around rough corners made the task of driving at race speeds quite challenging. These conditions would be a true test for the C6R's endurance, as tires, chassis, and suspension components were pushed to the limits on this course.

I don't know when MS will support MKV - probably never, knowing how long it took them to do H.264. Besides this is much better than lossy conversion. IMO anyway.
yeah but whats the point, you might as well convert it to a format it understands..
cbb until they release native support for most formats..
but nice work doing all this work
Posted 04 April 2009 - 15:40
There is no way to get x264+ac3 working on xbox 360.
There is 3 ways:
1. convert the ac3 to aac stereo and mux to mp4
2. convert the video to mpeg2+ac3.
3. convert the video+audio to WMV
With transcoding set to always and codec set to xvid, mkv2vob will create xbox360 playable files.
but it converts the video not the audio, this will take much longer then AAC conversion.
But with AAC you will only get stereo, with xvid you get to keep the ac3 5.1
Edited by Audioboxer, 04 April 2009 - 15:46.
Posted 06 April 2009 - 14:46
Media Center is independent of the Xbox dashboard. That's why with Vista you couldn't play Xvid in WMC but you could do it in the dashboard. Windows 7 Media Center now supports AVCHD which is H.264 + AC3. I think I was able to play 5.1. I will check that later today.
IIRC it is not possible to stream AC3 5.1 or DTS to the 360 if you remux H264 content.
That's from the creators of MKV2VOB and PS3Media Server.
If you want AC3 5.1 I believe you have to transcode. DTS is just not possible full stop - It only works on the PS3 as the creators of the above applications found a way to trick the PS3 into sending the DTS sound track to your receiver untouched, so your receiver is actually decoding it, not the PS3. It's done by confusing the PS3 into thinking the track is 2 channel PCM, but when it actually reaches your receiver, your receiver knows its DTS and not 2.0 PCM.
If the 360 supported LPCM I believe they may have been able to do the same trick, but the 360 doesn't support HD audio.
People need to understand MKV support on either the 360 or PS3 wouldn't really change anything, it's just a container, codec support is what matters most. Containers can easily be changed.
From 3r1c (MKV2VOB)
So it's either/or - You can get 5.1 if you transcode video, but if you remux video you get stereo AAC.

Your own screenshots show it downmixing to two channel AC3. (I think, I've never used either of those programs)
Media Center is independent of the Xbox dashboard. That's why with Vista you couldn't play Xvid in WMC but you could do it in the dashboard. Windows 7 Media Center now supports AVCHD which is H.264 + AC3. I think I was able to play 5.1. I will check that later today.

The ML350 BlueTec's turbo-diesel engine boasts impressive output numbers (240 hp and455 lb-ft) and respectable fuel economy (20/25 mpg) but is crippled by a narrow band of usable thrust. The engine is laggy on the low end and wheezy in the upper registers, so passing requires forethought and attention to what gear you're in. The traditional gasoline V-6 responds much more quickly and has a broader torque peak near the top end, which makes it far more enjoyable to drive. Both cars use a revised version of the seven-speed automatic transmission, which contributes to the ML's fuel-economy improvements. Handling is merely mediocre for the class, with the 5000-pound diesel taking its time to change directions and settle into a turn. The $5150 dynamic handling package adds air springs and a hydraulically actuated antiroll bar that results in improved handling in sport mode, but it still allows an unusual amount of body roll. If you're buying for comfort, however, the ML delivers with a smooth and quiet ride that stands up to its rivals'. The new M-class also makes a number of concessions to American frivolity with optional heated and cooled cupholders, hands-free parallel parking, and available iPad docking stations for rear-seat passengers. Like the outgoing car, the new ML offers seating for only five, but Mercedes-Benz representatives say a third row is in the works.

yeah thats my next plan, unfortunately shes not home but will do this as soon as she is.
verify your grandmothers settings on her router, check the IP on her computer and see if she can get out. then check your settings.
haha could be the first one. Definitely not the second! haha she can get to facebook thats about it! I've seen her type google into google! rofl!
It could be her router crapped out, some third party routers do that and are fine after a reboot. Or perhaps your gran enabled mac filtering
Posted 30 December 2012 - 18:52
I've seen her type google into google!
Posted 30 December 2012 - 19:12
No still no change
Heh I think that's a trait with old people. To come to think of it, you're right if mac filtering was enabled, you wouldn't be able to connect to the network. Try the following commands in elevated command prompt:
Then disable your wired adapter if you are wired leaving only the wireless adapter enabled enter these in command prompt:
Now connect to her network after and see if there's any change:
Thats a great idea I will definitely do that in the future
setup remote access like teamviewer or logmein free so that you can troubleshoot when she isn't home.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 19:40
Hmm that's odd. Does your gran have an ADSL or Cable connection?
Posted 30 December 2012 - 19:49
afraid not, once I manually set IP, the network ID comes up (rather than unidentified network) and I can ping 192.168.1.1 but can't visit in browser
Is it possible to sign into the router and check logs? I know with mine there is an option (though depending on the modem) this sometimes can only be checked when connected directly to it.
That may shed some light - on what is going on.

Gov. Rick Snyder can provide a wide spectrum of ideas for education but he can't provide the desperately needed funding to ensure current programs and staff are maintained.
We, the members of the ________________ School Board, believe in delivering a quality education for our children. We hire qualified staff and provide the necessary resources for them to do their job.
Dear Editor,
Gov. Snyder's education reform plan is just a distraction from his proposal to slash funding for public schools and use K-12 School Aid Fund money for colleges and universities. How does Gov. Snyder propose reforming education when he is robbing the schools of much-need funding and creating a budget crisis?
Gov. Snyder's education address
In his special education message. Gov. Rick Snyder covered a variety of topics in his plan to "reform" Michigan's public education system through changes to tenure, teacher training, and financial incentives. He provided little or no details on how his plan would be carried out, but expects "reforms" to happen even as he's cutting more than $800 million from K-12 and higher education funding and giving tax breaks to business.

Braking by Nick Ienatsch
Nick is a member of another forum I am on. He posted this up and I wanted to share it with everyone as braking is so important. Much of what he talks about we teach in other programs like the Total Control Classes and I thought this would be good to share with everyone as it can benefit everyone.
"If you have to stop in a corner, one of two things will happen. One, you will stand the bike up and ride it off the shoulder and into whatever is over there. Or two, you will lay the bike down and slide off the shoulder of the road. Braking is done before, or after a corner. The best thing to do before taking a corner is to grind the thought "I'm going to turn this corner" into your mind."
Hiya FZ1 lovers.
I've stewed for two days about the above quote taken from another FZ1OA thread...and finally decided to launch this thread. In past years I would have just rolled my eyes and muttered, "Whatever"…but not anymore. I want to tell you that there are measureable, explainable, repeatable, do-able reasons that make great riders great. And brake usage is at the very tippity-top of these reasons. It'll save your life, it'll make you a champion. It will save and grow our sport.
I'll ask this one favor: Would you open your mind to what I'm about to write, then go out and mess around with it?
To begin: Realize that great motorcycle riding is more subtle in its inputs than most of us imagine. I bet you are moving your hand too quickly with initial throttle and brakes. Moving your right foot too quickly with initial rear brake. The difference between a lap record and a highside is minute, almost-immeasureable differences in throttle and lean angle. The difference between hitting the Camaro in your lane and missing it by a foot is the little things a rider can do with speed control at lean angle. Brakes at lean angle. Brakes in a corner.
Yes, a rider can brake in a corner. Yes. For sure. Guaranteed. I promise. Happens all the time. I do it on every ride, track or street. Yes, a rider can stop in a corner. In fact, any student who rides with the Yamaha Champions Riding School will tell you it's possible. Complete stop, mid-corner…no drama. Newbies and experts alike.
There are some interesting processes to this sport, mostly revolving around racing. But as I thought about this thread, putting numbers on each thought made more sense because explaining these concepts relies on busting some myths and refining your inputs. Some things must be ingrained…like #1 below.
1)You never, ever, never stab at the brakes. Understand a tire's grip this way: Front grip is divided between lean angle points and brake points, rear grip is lean angle points and acceleration points, lean angle points and brake points. Realize that the tire will take a great load, but it won't take a sudden load…and so you practice this smooth loading at every moment in/on every vehicle. If you stab the brakes (um...or throttle...) in your pickup, you berate yourself because you know that the stab, at lean angle on your motorcycle (and bicycle, btw), will be a crash.
2)Let's examine tire grip. If you're leaned over at 95% (95 points in my book Sport Riding Techniques and fastersafer.com) of the tires' available grip, you still have 5% of that grip available for braking (or accelerating). But maybe you only have 3%!!! You find out because you always add braking "points" in a smooth, linear manner. As the front tire reaches its limit, it will squirm and warn you…if that limit is reached in a linear manner.
It's the grabbing of 30 points that hurts anyone leaned over more than 70 points. If you ride slowly with no lean angle, you will begin to believe that aggressiveness and grabbing the front brake lever is okay…and it is…until you carry more lean angle (or it's raining, or you're on a dirt road or your tire's cold…pick your excuse). Do you have a new rider in your life? Get them thinking of never, ever, never grabbing the brakes. Throttle too…
3)If you STAB the front brake at lean angle, one of two things will happen. If the grip is good, the fork will collapse and the bike will stand up and run wide. If the grip is not-so-good, the front tire will lock and slide. The italicized advice at the beginning was written by a rider who aggressively goes after the front brake lever. His bike always stands up or lowsides. He's inputting brake force too aggressively, too quickly...he isn't smoothly loading the fork springs or loading the tire. He may not believe this, but the tire will handle the load he wants, but the load must be fed-in more smoothly…and his experience leads to written advice that will hurt/kill other riders. "Never touch the brakes at lean angle?" Wrong. "Never grab the brakes at lean angle?" Right!
But what about the racers on TV who lose the front in the braking zone? Pay attention to when they lose grip. If it's immediately, it's because they stabbed the brake at lean angle. If it's late in the braking zone, it's because they finally exceeded 100 points of grip deep in the braking zone…if you're adding lean angle, you've got to be "trailing off" the brakes as the tire nears its limit.
4) Radius equals MPH. Realize that speed affects the bike's radius at a given lean angle. If the corner is tighter than expected, continue to bring your speed down. What's the best way to bring your speed down? Roll off the throttle and hope you slow down? Or roll off the throttle and squeeze on a little brake? Please don't answer off the top of your head…answer after you've experimented in the real world.
Do this: Ride in a circle in a parking lot at a given lean angle. That's your radius. Run a circle or two and then slowly sneak on more throttle at the same lean angle and watch what your radius does. Now ride in the circle again, and roll off the throttle…at the same lean angle. You are learning Radius equals MPH. You are learning what throttle and off-throttle does to your radius through steering geometry changes and speed changes. You are learning something on your own, rather than asking for advice on subjects that affect your health and life. (You will also learn why I get so upset when new riders are told to push on the inside bar and pick up the throttle if they get in the corner too fast. Exactly the opposite of what the best riders do. But don't believe me…try it.)
Let me rant for a moment: Almost every bit of riding advice works when the pace is low and the grip is high. It's when the corner tightens or the sleet falls or the lap record is within reach…then everything counts.
"Get all your braking done before the turn," is good riding advice. But what if you don't? What if the corner goes the other way and is tighter and there's gravel? It's then that you don't need advice, you need riding technique. Theory goes out the window and if you don't perform the exact action, you will be lying in the dirt, or worse. Know that these techniques are not only understandable, but do-able by you. Yes you! I'm motivated to motivate you due to what I've seen working at Freddie's school and now the Champ school…
I'm telling you this: If you can smoothly, gently pick-up your front brake lever and load the tire, you can brake at any lean angle on and FZ1. Why? Because our footpegs drag before our tires lose grip when things are warm and dry. It might be only 3 points, but missing the bus bumper by a foot is still missing the bumper! If it's raining, you simply take these same actions and reduce them…you can still mix lean angle and brake pressure, but with considerably less of each. Rainy and cold? Lower still, but still combine-able.
5)So you're into a right-hand corner and you must stop your bike for whatever reason. You close the throttle and sneak on the brakes lightly, balancing lean angle points against brake points. As you slow down, your radius continues to tighten. You don't want to run off the inside of the corner, so you take away lean angle. What can you do with the brakes when you take away lean angle? Yes! Squeeze more. Stay with it and you will stop your bike mid-corner completely upright. No drama. But don't just believe me…go prove it to yourself.
6)Let's examine the final sentence in the italicized quote. The best thing to do before taking a corner is to grind the thought "I'm going to turn this corner" into your mind.
No, that's not the best thing. It's not the worst thing and I'm all for positive thinking, but we all need to see the difference between riding advice and riding techniques. This advice works until you enter a corner truly beyond your mental, physical or mechanical limits. I would change this to: The best thing to do before taking a corner is to scan with your eyes, use your brakes until you're happy with your speed and direction, sneak open your throttle to maintain your chosen speed and radius, don't accelerate until you can see your exit and can take away lean angle.
7)Do you think I'm being over-dramatic by claiming this will save our sport? Are we crashing because we're going too slowly in the corners or too fast? Yes, too fast. What component reduces speed? Brakes. What component calms your brain? Brakes. What component, when massaged skillfully, helps the bike turn? Brakes. If riders are being told that they can't use the brakes at lean angle, you begin to see the reason for my drama level. When I have a new rider in my life, my third priority is to have them, "Turn into the corner with the brake-light on."
I've said it before: This is the only bike forum I'm a member of. I like it, I like the peeps, I like the info, I love the bike. Could we begin to change the information we pass along regarding brakes and lean angle? Could we control our sport by actually controlling our motorcycles? If we don't control our sport, someone else will try. Closed throttle, no brakes is "out of the controls". Get out there and master the brakes.
Thanks, I feel better.

I think good riders can ride with or without braking in curves. Generally IMO it's better to practice the following drills (not necessarily in this order, but #4 is definitely last):
1. Ride your favorite twisty road without the brakes, using engine braking to set your corner entry speed (for most riders, especially new riders, this will require a lower gear than he's used to).
2. Ride your favorite twisty road in one gear, without shifting, but practice using the brakes smoothly for speed control as necessary.
3. Ride your favorite twisty road in one gear, without shifting, and without brakes.
4. If you can do all that smoothly, you will find that you can now go faster if you shift frequently and use the brakes, but this results in a pace that is basically insane on the street. On my bikes ground clearance is enough of an issue that a faster pace leads to hard parts dragging and scary moments where the rear tire loses touch with the pavement. So I don't push it any farther. But I can't quite master #3 anyway.

Nick is correct on every point.
I've been told multiple times by multiple members here that my regular use of trail braking should be left on the track. They really need to read and heed the above.

Thanks for that ... an interesting read.
Braking techniques have many nuances
I think of it as a bit like handling testicles ... squeeze too hard & too quick and you might not get a great result (blokes can substitute boobies for this analogy)

Thanks for the post. I brake in corners almost daily.
Hold to the "Smooth is fast/fast is smooth" saying and there is a lot of usable traction to play with.

Now what are the skills to be smooth? Throttle transitions, and throttle to brake and brake to throttle transitions, and trail braking are the places to start.

What? Braking in corners?? Next you'll be telling us to use the front brake and everyone knows that will send you over the handlbars. Enough of this crazy stuff!! All you need to be safe on the street is learning how to "lay er down" properly.
And if you haven't mastered that technique, at least wear some assless chaps for protection.

Excellent read.
A traction question: Let's say that a given stretch of clean pavement has a "traction value" of 100 on a warm dry day. Is there a rule of thumb for how much that number would decline on the same road during a hard rain (that has washed off the residual fluids deposited by cars)?

Those factors are constants. The only thing that changes is the wetness of the road (or I guess you could say the coefficient of friction).
