2013 WR450 dual sport build up
2013 Yamaha WR450F Dual Sport Build Thread<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Well, here it goes. This is my first attempt at doing a build thread so please be patient!
I recently picked up a new 2013 Yamaha WR450F with the intent of converting it into a dual sport. This will be used primarily to link up sections of dirt and will hopefully be used to cover sections of the TAT in the future. :clap
Here is the bike in its maiden form:
Just an FYI, the 2012 and 2013 models are identical. Previous model years may require different changes than what I have done (such as modifying the stator).
Title/Plate: I am still working on getting the bike fully legal. Once I go through the whole process with the state I will post up on how it all worked out.
So, I have the bike. Time to smoke the ole Visa and start ordering some parts.:deal Here is the pile of boxes I started with:
In the pile you will notice a Baja Designs dual sport kit, Yamaha competition ECU/short throttle stop, Cycra ProBend Hand Guards, and Yamaha GYTR Radiator braces. I chose the Baja Designs kit because I have used them in the past and was happy with their quality and they are fairly complete. The competition ECU is necessary to de-restrict the motorcycle as it comes neutered from the factory so it will comply with California Green Sticker rules. The hand guards are because I have grown accustomed to having all my digits :lol3. And, the radiator guards are cheap insurance against bent and leaking radiators (ask me how I know) :muutt.
Step 1: De-restrict the bike
There are four main things you need to do to de-restrict this motorcycle. First you install the Yamaha competition ECU (and it comes with the short throttle stop). Yamaha went this route because of the aforementioned CA Green Sticker regulations. Thankfully, the kit is only $99 and is available at your local dealer. It also allows the use of the GYTR tuner which allows you to tune yourself to a standstill (if you are like me) :huh or change many variables related to the fuel injection, timing, etc if you are a competent mechanic! Yamaha has a tech bulletin that outlines the de-restriction process for closed course competition use only. Just ask your local Yamaha dealers service department to give you a copy. Here is the kit (the throttle stop is under the ECU in the package and not visible):
The ECU is under the left number plate and is easily accessible after a couple of bolts.
The throttle stop was probably the biggest pain of this whole process. You can change it without removing the throttle body by loosening everything up and rotating the throttle body so you can get to the bottom of it. You will need a safety torx (the one with the dot in the middle) size S2T25h to get the original out. The allen heads on the intake boots are 4mm. I would suggest a little Loctite when you put the new one in. Its really just a cover to keep water out and no longer acts as a stop.
Here is a close up of the throttle body:
The two throttle stops side by side:
Next step is to remove the snorkel from the airbox to allow slightly better breathing. Remove the seat and look to the rear of the battery. You will see the snorkel protruding about three inches from the top of the airbox. Remove the 3 phillips head screws holding the silver plate. This will allow the plate and snorkel to be removed. I was not concerned about additional water intrusion as the airbox inlet is already very high.
Here is the snorkel and retaining plate:
Top of the airbox with the snorkel removed:
Finally, remove the insert from the exhaust. First remove the end cap secured with 3mm allen heads. Then I drilled through the rivets(one on each side, 2 total) holding the insert in place with a 7/64 bit. BTW, these little buggers are pretty tough (or my bits are dull) Then I ground the heads off with a grinder. Pull the insert out with needle nose pliers.
That completes the de-restriction process. I will post the other modifications as time allows. Hopefully yall find this useful!
Good thread so far. Ill keep watching the progress as its a bike that has been keeping my interest lately. Did u ride the bike at all stock to get a baseline. It's good to know about the ecu upgrade also. Is it hard to reg in your state.
Good luck and enjoy. R u winter locked for the next 4-5 months like I

Baja Designs kit install part 1
Time to put the Baja Designs kit on. As I mentioned above I chose the B.D. kit as I used one in the past on an older WR and found them to be of good quality and fairly complete. I chose their no headlight kit meaning I was going to use the stock headlight. I also ordered their folding mirrors and billet mounts that mount to the backside of the lever perches to free up bar space as I knew it would get crowded with extra switchgear and barkbuster mounts. I would have preferred to keep my stock taillight but their piece looks good and has a built in license plate light, so I rolled with it. I also upgraded to the LED turn signals which are much nicer pieces in my opinion. You will notice in the pictures of the kit that the stock signals (bulb style) are shown. Thats because they forgot to send me the LED ones :(:. A quick phone call straightened it out and I had them a few days later.:clap
The kit consists of three sub-harnesses (front, mid, and rear), hardware, taillight/plate holder, switchgear, ignition switch with 2 keys, and brake pressure switch (rear only). The ignition switch with keys is another reason I chose this kit. Otherwise, you could just turn on the main power, hit the starter, and go. I prefer my bike to still be there when I come back to it! :yikesI am not going to go through each step in detail as the instructions are pretty thorough. I will try to point out a few things that you may find helpful.
First, I fitted up the taillight/plate holder. FYI, for some reason these allen head bolts were standard instead of metric. But, they are stainless and look good. Before I drilled the holes I used a spring punch so the bit wouldnt walk when I started drilling. The drill bit was ¼.
This is the rear fender off the bike from the underside. At this point I was test fitting everything.
The keen eyed amongst you will notice that suddenly everything looks dusty in the next photos. Thats because the turn signal installation is the last thing I did as I was waiting for Baja Designs to ship me the correct signals (and I went riding with some other inmates in the interim). :ricky The directions say to do the signals at the same time you do the tail light which is what I would suggest. Otherwise, you have to keep taking the tail apart.
Here is the signal mounting hole. I used the backing nut as a template and used a 9/32 drill bit to make the hole. Each hole was 6.5cm from the top of the ridge in the signal mounting area. I used the bolts I had put through the fender as a site line to keep everything on the same plane. Make sure you keep your drill level when you drill the signal mounting holes otherwise they might droop or have an odd angle when you mount them.
Here is just the inner fender (top view) with the wires run. You wont see this when it is bolted back on to the fender. I also drilled two 3/32 holes on each side so I could ziptie the wires in place. I pushed the ziptie through from the bottom, looped over the wires, and then pushed the ziptie back through the same hole. The head of the ziptie is on the bottom side and is too large to go through the hole.
Here is the bottom side. You can make out the ziptie heads where I secured the wires.
While you have the fender off drill two holes to pass the turn signal wires from the rear harness through. I used the plastic molding process marks as a reference. A little hard to see in this picture.
I got some neoprene grommets from Lowes to go in the holes in the hopes of preventing chaffing.
Looking up from underneath:
Top view:
Here is the rear end all buttoned up with the LED signals.
Ill keep posting as time allows. Thanks for looking!
What a bad ass bike this is gonna be!!! cant wait to see the rest of your progress. :clap
Subscribed, keep it up!
super nice bike!
i dunno how it is in N'Awlins, but i just got a $156 ticket for having an improperly displayed license plate here in fla. w/that kit. probably didn't help that i beat the speeding ticket that the pig gave me, so she tacked on the license plate thing... get a heat gun and bend it down is my advice.....
im looking to get a WR450 and make a SuMo. Sub'D.
Sorry, I've been slacking. :eek1 The bike is built. I just need to post up the rest! Thanks for watching!
Titling issues
I know I'm going out of order but I just hit a major snag. Went to send in the MSO in exchange for a street title. I was just going to send it through this way first in an effort to avoid the State Police inspection. I know of several folks who have done this and it has worked for them. So I went to my friendly title office (not DMV). I have dealt with these folks quite a bit over the past few years and they have always been helpful. Well, the nice lady told me that the State deleted their regulations regarding street titling off-road vehicles on September 28th of this year. This includes the inspection route. In other words, there is currently no way to legally title the bike for on road use in Louisiana. :waysad
I still have to think it over but I may end up having to title it in another state and bringing it in to Louisiana. I'll keep you posted. Any ideas?
What a drag! Sorry to hear about your issues with the DMV. Colorado where I live is a piece of cake when it comes to plating dirt bikes. We are still supposed to have OHV stickers (even with a plate). Seems the state enjoys the revenue generated by the license plates and stickers...
what plate?
so this plate doesnt let you drive on the roads?

Voice of the people
City streets should be cleared in winter
I recently moved to Huntington. Though the place is beautiful, and the folks are friendly -- the winter road situation is pathetic.
Virtually all the roads remain partially cleared at best. The least the city government could do is clear the main streets and/or one-way roads. Even if they didn't catch the Weather Channel over the last two weeks, it's not like they didn't know the snow and ice were on the way. It's January, after all.
And here's the bottom line: we're not just talking about convenience or safety. Businesses lose money when the roads are impassable -- meaning tax revenue is lost. So it's in the self-interest of the government to get its act together.
If you don't have enough trucks, purchase some warm clothing for the homeless and folks in jail, and get them out there with a bucket or two of salt. If it's a union issue, God help us -- and don't call me anti-union; I came from IBEW household.
As it is, the people have major mistrust for the competency of government and politicians. C'mon city government -- get it done.

Adult standards missing from radio
I took notice of the news last week that 105.7 FM is now "Cool Hits." I appreciate the effort the station is doing to provide some diversity within the local air waves.
I would like to suggest that a station owner in the market consider a "soft pop" or "adult standards" format. Artists like Dan Fogelberg, Glen Campbell, Neil Diamond and Frank Sinatra are noticeably absent from the dial in Huntington.
I'm glad online streaming makes them available, but it would still be nice to have an option from within the local radio community.

Historians have their own theories, involving trade and colonization, but this sounds more likely.
The boundaries that distinguish occupation from colonization and annexation have already been crossed in Israel/Palestine.
Mediating in this biased way is in fact only facilitating the continued occupation and colonization of Palestine.
1620s, "to settle with colonists," from stem of Latin colonus "tiller of the soil, farmer" (see colony); in sense "to make another place into a national dependency" without regard for settlement there by 1790s (e.g. in reference to French activity in Egypt or British work in India), and probably directly from colony.
No principle ought ever to be tolerated or acted upon, that does not proceed on the basis of India being considered as the temporary residence of a great British Establishment, for the good government of the country, upon steady and uniform principles, and of a large British factory, for the beneficial management of its trade, upon rules applicable to the state and manners of the country. [Henry Dundas, Chairman of the East-India Company, letter, April 2, 1800]Related: Colonized; colonizing.
The spreading of a species into a new habitat. For example, flying insects and birds are often the first animal species to initiate colonization of barren islands newly formed by vulcanism or falling water levels. The first plant species to colonize such islands are often transported there as airborne seeds or through the droppings of birds.

Alex, an African grey parrot who died 5 years ago and was known for his ability to use English words, also understood a great deal about numbers. In a new study in this month's Cognition, scientists show that Alex correctly inferred the relationship between cardinal and ordinal numbers, an ability that has not previously been found in any species other than humans. After learning the cardinal numbersor exact valuesof one to six, Alex was taught the ordinal values (the position of a number in a list) of seven and eightthat is, he learned that six is less than seven, and seven is less than eight.

Didier Drogba has been able to list Drake as one of his bestest celebrity chums for a number of years now, with the Canadian rapper attending several Chelsea games in that time as a guest of the former Blues striker.
Sadly, the burgeoning friendship may now be on the rocks after Drake comprehensively destroyed Drogba's footballing credibility by scoring a penalty against him during a backyard kick-about on Saturday.
As he begins his run-up, Drake announces: "Didier I'm your biggest fan ... sorry...

We got to play with this kitten while in New York. River was crying and begging me to take her home.Upon returning to my mother's house we talked with Jason over skype and I asked River to share with Daddy about what he saw that day. He named everything but the kitten. I guess it wasn't that traumatizing after all.
He was very timid with the kitten and unsure. Sage was all about trying to grab the little thing, but five cats is just not happening here. Four is our max. One day, I look forward to giving the kids a kitten of their own.

Criminal charges against former District Attorney General Joe Crumley were dismissed by the prosecutor and the action approved by a judge, the prosecutor confirmed Monday.
Late Monday afternoon, the Washington County Circuit Court Clerk's Office received a judicial order on the dismissal.
Joe Baugh, retired attorney general for the 21st Judicial District — which includes Hickman, Williamson, Perry and Lewis counties — said he received the signed order from Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood dismissing charges against Crumley.
Crumley, 58, Jonesborough, was charged with reckless endangerment, evading arrest, failure to yield to blue lights and sirens and reckless driving.
The charges stem from a Sept. 21 incident in Jonesborough during which he's accused of crossing the center line while driving and refusing to pull over when Jonesborough Public Safety officers ordered him to do so.
"I can confirm the charges are dismissed," Baugh said. "It seemed the decent thing to do in light of his medical condition."
He declined to comment further, and local sources also won't talk on the record about Crumley's condition. Sources close to the situation say Crumley is receiving hospice care.
Crumley was hospitalized after the Jonesborough officers stopped him last fall because he suffered a seizure during the traffic stop. He was charged after being released from the hospital about a week later.
At that hearing, Crumley's attorney, Jim Bowman, said there would be medical evidence presented if the case continued to Criminal Court

Why is "Irvine 11" trending on Twitter right now? Because the the 10 students who interrupted a speech at UC Irvine by Michael Oren, the Israeli ambassador to the United States, have been found guilty of conspiring to disrupt Oren's speech and then actually doing so. Both crimes are misdemeanors.
Here's what the LA Times says the case was all about:
In a case that garnered national attention over free-speech rights, the trial centered on conflicting views of who was being censored. Prosecutors argued that Ambassador Michael Oren was "shut down" when his speech was interrupted by students who took turns shouting preplanned phrases in a crowded UC Irvine ballroom.
Six defense attorneys argued that the students, seven from UC Irvine and three from UC Riverside, were only following the norm of other college protests and were being singled out.
A guilty verdict, the defense had said during the trial, could chill student activism and the free exchange of ideas at colleges nationwide.
Each student was sentenced to three years probation and 53 hours of community service. The UCI students and the Muslim Student Union, which has been found of inviting anti-Semitic speakers to campus, were previously disciplined by the university.

Interactive kiosks improve way finding at University Center on UTSA Main Campus
(May 31, 2012) -- Three interactive directory kiosks have been installed at the UTSA University Center (UC) on the Main Campus to assist guests in finding meeting rooms, offices and events.
"After we conducted several surveys, we found that guests had a hard time finding offices within the University Center," said Lowa Mwilambwe, University Center director. "The new interactive directory will greatly simplify moving throughout the University Center."
The touch-screen kiosks at the ballroom galleria, food court and the entrance near the Fiesta Dancers statue will help UC visitors find the right room by selecting on the screen an event, service or office name. Then, a path to the particular room is shown. The system also displays ADA-accessible (Americans with Disabilities Act) routes within the UC.
Along with the new kiosks, the UT System Board of Regents approved name changes for the three buildings that comprise the University Center to help facilitate navigation. The two older sections of the facility (UC I and UC II) now are known as UC North and the newer section (UC III) is UC South.
The University Center is the focal point for programs, meetings, dining and relaxation for UTSA students, faculty, staff and guests. Students from across the university converge at this part of the Main Campus to engage in unique social, recreational, cultural and educational activities. As the campus community gathering place, the UC is an inviting and inclusive environment where ideas are exchanged, relationships are built and memories are made.
For more information, visit the University Center website.

The mechanical effect of light was discovered long time ago and has been utilized to cool and trap atoms. Recently, such optomechanical effects are also realized in systems where the mechanical element is a macroscopic object. These optomechanical systems have great potential for fundamental scientific research as well as rich practical applications, from homeland security, environment monitoring to computation and communication. High-frequency optomechanical systems that operate in the microwave frequency regime were long sought after, because of their easy access to the quantum regime and their advantages in developing ultrahigh-speed sensors and signal processors. Due to technical limitations, previous optomechanical systems work mostly at low frequencies in the kHz to MHz ranges. Here I will talk about our experimental realization of a variety of integrated nanoscale optomechanical and optoelectromechanical devices that operate beyond 1 GHz. They demonstrate world-record figures of merit, such as mass, vibrational frequency, optical and mechanical quality factors. With the mechanical mediation, these devices hold the promise of revolutionizing the field of nano-optoelectronics, microwave photonics, biophotonics, and integrated quantum photonics.

Another victory for UAE
Hisham Al Gizouli / 12 January 2013
UAE continued their winning streak to make it perfect three with an exciting 2-0 victory over ten-man Oman in the final round of the group stage of the 21st Gulf Cup at the Khalifa Stadium in Manama on Friday.
Al Ahli's brilliant forward Ahmed Khalil drew first blood for the boys in white in the 84th minute of the tough clash. Three minutes later, the AFC Best Upcoming player outpaced the Omani defenders to tackle the goalkeeper who tried to intercept him outside the box and sent home a lovely long range left footer to double the scoreline for his side and virtually end the Omani dream.
UAE head coach Ali Mahdi kept at least seven of his key players on the reserve bench in anticipation of what could be a tough encounter against the winners of Saturday Group B clash between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Ali started the game with goalkeeper Khaled Essa instead of his most illustrious teammate Ali Khusaif, besides Abdul Aziz Haikal, Muhanad Al Enazi, Habib Al Fardan, Mohammed Fawzi, Saeed Al Kathiri, Ismail Matar and Al Hammadi and kept his top scorer Ali Mabkhout along with Hamdan Al Kamali, Omer Abdul Rahman among others in the reserve bench.
And after a goalless first half, the Omanis put their UAE opponents under strong pressure making the best of the heavy wind. Ali pulled out Ismail Matar and Ismail Al Hammadi to be substituted with Haboush Saleh and Ahmed Khalil before he sent in the brilliant playmaker to replace Saeed Al Kathiri.
The Omanis were virtually the better side on the pitch in terms of possession and the number of scoring opportunities. But, the same problem persisted and the Omani strikers missed the target on at least two occasions in front of the open net.
However, the last ten minutes were full of excitement. UAE began to set their pace with the helpful assistance of Al Ain's midfielder Omer Abdul Rahman who made the difference as soon as he came in.
Towards the 84th minute, Khalil fired home the first goal after a lovely exchange with Amer Abdul Rahman before he controlled a long pass from Mohammed Ahmed and outpaced the Omani defenders to beat the keeper in great style.
The Omanis were reduced to ten players when former Al Jazira defender Mudhafar fouled UAE's striker Haboush Saleh while he had only the goalkeeper to beat.
In another clash, Fayez Aish powered hosts Bahrain to a tough foughtout 1-0 victory over fighting Qatar to make it into the semi-finals along with UAE after having raised their tally to four points from three starts. Bahrain will face Iraq in semi-finals of the competition on Tuesday as UAE will meet either Saudi Arabia or Kuwait.

PROPERTY developers abusing directives that restrict them to developing land 60 metres away from the coast line will now face consequences that include having their buildings demolished.
This announcement was made in Parliament yesterday by the Deputy Minister of Land, Housing and Human Settlement Development Mr Goodluck Ole Medeye who stressed that illegal land developers will face strong government action.
"All hotel developers at beaches and in coastal areas have been instructed to leave 60 metres from the coast line. Anyone who violates this legal order will face the music and have their structures demolished," he said.
The Deputy Minister was responding to a question asked by Ms Magdalena Sakaya (Special Seat, CUF) who called for government action against intruders along the coast and economic loss caused by selling land at beaches to foreigners.
Earlier on, the MP suggested for the government reviews an Act which gives rights to foreigners to own land for many years, suggesting the lease period should not exceed 20 years. Reacting, Mr Ole Medeye said that currently the Law allows for foreign investment of 98 years but said the government was ready to put up a precautionary review of the Act.
"Some of land investments take very long to be accomplished we will have to make sure reviewing this Act does not stall investments," he said. He said his Ministry is preparing regulations on small island developments to ensure safe upkeep and conservation of tourism activities without affecting the country's defence and security state.
TANZANIA attracted more than 3.8 million tourists over the last five years who spent 6.2 billion US Dollars (about 8tril/-) according to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism.
The Deputy Minister for Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives Mr Adam Malima told the Parliament yesterday that Tanzania is on average attracting more than 700,000 visitors annually and the number keeps on increasing every year with 2011 breaking the record of receiving 867,994 tourists.
He was responding on behalf of the Ministry to Mr Kombo Khamis Kombo (Magogoni, CUF) who wanted to know how many tourists visit the country and the revenue collected. He said records show that more tourists are coming to Tanzania thanks to the country's efforts to promote its tourism attractions.
In addition more tourists are aware of the attractions found in the country that were formerly believed to be found in the neighbouring Kenya. "Although Kenya is doing well in the service industry hence winning many tourists, records and strategies show that we are now improving in this area," Mr Kombo said.
In his supplementary question, Mr Kombo wanted to know government's strategy to form its own campaign of promoting tourism attractions including countering Kenya's long time campaign with the slogan "Come to Kenya and climb Mount Kilimanjaro". The Deputy Minister said Tanzania is leading in tourism attractions in East Africa region particularly in areas of

Year Inducted:
Baseball, Men's Basketball, Football
Giardi played three sports at Holy Cross, but will always be remembered as a truly great back in football during the "Golden Days" of Crusader football. He played under Dr. Eddie Anderson and his teams posted a 23-3-2 mark during his Crusader career. He was primarily a blocking back for the great Bill Osmanski, but was an outstanding ball carrier in his own right and also excelled in the secondary. He helped the 1937 team to an unbeaten season and in 1938, with Giardi a two-way starter, the Crusaders were 8-1, losing only to Carnegie Tech, 7-6.

Original Message
Hi, You can call me "FUTUREHOPE". I live in orange county California...I am connected to money and power here in OC as well as long term preppy families. I grew up in private schools. My family is politically connected.
I was one of the top students in my college. after awhile I was approached by several professors and 1 more student. We had discussions similar to the teachings of the lluminati....I met a girl at the college and we fell in love...After that,one day she basically told me she was in a cult and that they set-up our relationship to recruit me ,however should could not betray me...the other student basically told me the same thing. She asked me to help get her out of her cult. Their were other people who asked me the same thing..the evil ones have followed me 24 hours...tapped my phones...turned or blackmailed all my friends/families..because no one will help me..they just hang up very scared??
I found out that everyone of the people I have met in the last year are in this cult.teachers/friends/cops/etc...they set a whole life up with fake friends etc most of them actually began to like me and didn't want to betray/kill me...it has been a very long term setup..years in the making and lots of money and people.... I just wanted to help the girl/others and now this..The weird part is I contacted connections within the CIA-homeland security-FBI-mossad....MY only hope is the connections I made with these agencies before this ...I really want to help these people...Yesterday I was told by my people that the White upper class Illuminati is in full support of me. my college studies are mostly technical sciences...computer hacking...radio science..communications...
this cult has followed me for days yet the weird
part is they haven't killed me yet...they just follow me and stalk me...I can tell when they listen to my phone cuz ill say on the phone im going somewhere and when I get there ..they are already there? plus every once in awhile they have a female friend of mine call me and I found out that she has been a witch the whole time...I have talked to many of their witches...they all ask if I really love this girl or if it is a scam...the witches call me and are very interested in finding out if I really love her?
THEY all have positions in academia/law enforcement/governmemt/freemason lodges/witchcraft covens. The witches think I want the girl for secret information however I told them I just want her for love...some think im a agent trying to get her to testify....
I DO HAVE very high connections to military intelligence agencies from several bases...however they wont meet me in the field unless they are in the background...watching...Im sure at this point their is a DRONE above me at all times...I am too valuable...
however im terrified snd exhausted...they closed my bank account and im running the streets, my rich friends wont help? I keep telling them I just love the girl and do not care what they are involved in but they wont leave me alone..some of the witches I talked to believe I love the girl others think im an agent..I have a few questions...
WHY wont they kill me? Is this just some Illuminati initiation game? it is very real...This cult approached me..not the other way around...

Lesson learned, Blackhawks brace for Kings' best shot in Game 2Continue reading.
Blackhawks feeling loose with their backs to the wall; 'All the pressure is on the Kings' in Game 5
I thought "Who is the pressure on in Game 5, the Blackhawks or the Kings?" was a stupid question until I heard the answers.
"I think right now the pressure is all on them," Hawks forward Patrick Kane said. "Obviously being up 3-1 position you never want to lose that in the series. We have a great opportunity tonight playing in front of our home fans to get another win and that's how we're looking at it right now. We don't feel any pressure in here. If there is any pressure, it's probably all on the Kings."
"I feel it's on L.A.," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "Look back against Detroit, we came back and were excited about being at home, took advantage of the home crowd. I don't want to say loose, but let's be excited about the opportunity and let's go. We have to win one game here."
It's kind of a contrary way of thinking, with the Kings leading the Western Conference final 3-1 heading into Game 5 tonight at the United Center. But in a hockey sort of way it's not totally nonsensical. A team trailing 3-1 but with two home games remaining knows it only has to hold serve at home and steal one road game to win the series. The Hawks, who lost Games 3 and 4 in Los Angeles, have won at least one road game in 12 consecutive playoff series.
So by the Hawks' way of thinking, the pressure is on the Kings to win Game 5, because if they lose tonight, then the pressure will really be on them in Game 6 to avoid going back to the United Center for Game 7. It sounds a little desperate, but confidence is a more crucial element of playoff hockey than in other sports. That's probably why four teams have recovered from 3-0 deficits in the Stanley Cup playoffs (including twice in the last five years).
It doesn't take much to plant a seed of doubt. This series turned on a dime in Game 2 — off of one big save by Jonathan Quick and one "innocent" goal by the Kings late in the period. Suddenly the Hawks were on the brink of elimination. The Kings opened the playoffs with three consecutive losses, then won six straight, then lost three straight.
The Hawks are counting on that working in their favor now.
"They're a team that's had a lot of momentum in the playoffs, and at times it's gone the other way against them," Kane said. "Huge momentum swings, especially with this team and we'll try to gain it back tonight and keep it."
So while the Kings are solid favorites to win this series, the Hawks are still hoping to parlay a Game 5 victory into a big series comeback.
"For sure," Hawks forward Ben Smith said. "That's one of the biggest things in the playoffs — getting momentum and trying to keep it and hold onto it as long as you can. So for us, getting that back on our side will hopefully be nice tonight and we'll get a big win."
But first things first.
"We've got to play desperate — that's the biggest thing," Kane said. "I think we're all focusing in on our first shift and that first period and playing behind our crowd. I don't think anyone's really focused on the end result and hoping that it becomes 3-2 in the series. We're all focused on this game and what's going to happen. You get caught thinking ahead of yourself, especially against a team like this, and it's all going to back-fire on you. We'll take it shift-by-shift, minute-by-minute."
Though the odds are against them, the Hawks are not lacking confidence. They think they're the dangerous team in this situation. When you have a core that has won two Stanley Cups, they've at least earned the right.
"I think we're the kind of team that in the past and just during the regular season, when we're down, we're playing our best hockey," defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said. "That's what I expect from the team tonight and from myself. I think we're going to have our best game of the series here. Everybody's confident here in our team that we can turn this around. We did it last year against Detroit, so I think that's huge for our confidence that we know we can turn this thing around."

Sure, Australia was essentially one big jail cell in the 19th century, but this prison in Tasmania's capital city, Hobart, was one of the few for females only. In operation from 1828 to 1856, it was home to more than 5,000 female convicts and their children, many of whom died from poor hygiene, inadequate nutrition, and back-breaking work.

9 Tasting Notes
Vanilla Rooibos from the Bulk Barn is my all time favourite vanilla rooibos tea. I'm addicted to it and have it almost every day. It makes great caffeine free lattes. The price is so reasonable that I usually buy tons of it to stock up on it whenever I go to the Bulk Barn.
Flavors: Vanilla
This one is great iced. I have a daughter and I'm one of those moms that tries with all my might to limit junk, sugar and all that kind of stuff. I like Goji Pop because it's healthy and my daughter can drink all she wants. It's very refreshing iced and tastes like gummy bears. My daughter will ask me for more "gummy bear" tea when she's thirsty. I enjoy this tea hot and cold. I had a cold and put some honey in some hot Goji Pop tea and I found it very soothing on my throat.
I couldn't pick a favourite tea from David's Tea if I tried, but if I really had to pick one, it just might be this one. It makes the best lattes! I make very low fat lattes with 1% milk and a teeny bit of stevia and it tastes like an evil, fattening treat. This is my go-to tea when I'm trying to watch my figure and cut down on goodies. Just when I start to feel deprived and sorry for myself, I'll make a pumpkin chai latte and I'm happy.
Coconut is my favourite flavour, so I just HAD to pick this one. I got the buy three get one free option. I couldn't wait to open my new matcha teas to check out the aroma. I was pleasantly surprised since the aroma was of a definite coconut smell. It was the perfect balance between coconut and matcha, so the coconut did not overpower the matcha and vice versa. I gave some to my 13 yr old daughter and she loved it and thought it was the same kind of treat as you would have in a hot chocolate. I found the same balance of matcha and flavours in the other three matcha teas I got from Red Leaf.
In my opinion this tea is amazing for both taste and soothing a sore throat. My daughter and I had a nasty respiratory infection that just wouldn't go away. I was strolling the streets on my break at work and visited Teavana as I often do since I'm a tea-aholic. I bought some Opus Rouge and brewed up a pot of it. I used double the amount of the recommended tea for steeping, so it made a nice dark coloured tea. The tea felt so soothing on my daughter's and my throats and we drank the whole pot between us. The very next morning we woke up feeling like a million bucks. I now require this tea in my cupboard at all times. I enjoy it without being sick of course, but I love how it helped make my daughter and I feel so much better. It tastes incredible too, so it wasn't difficult at all to drink the whole pot. It's also very nice iced. It's my daughter's favourite iced tea.

"Antiagon Fire and Imager's Battalion" by L.E. Modesitt (Reviewed by Liviu Suciu)
Read FBC Review of Imager's Challenge
Read FBC Review of Imager's Intrigue
Imager's Battalion by LE Modesitt is the 3rd Quaeryt book and 6th Imager overall and it was another addictive read that I finished very soon after receiving an advanced review copy sometime last year.
Excellent stuff with the same structure as books 1/2 (Scholar/Princeps) though this one is mostly war: Imagers - magic, powerful but few of them - against musketeers, canon, guns, arrows, ambushes, lots of expendable soldiers and even the powerful super-weapon of the day, Antiagon fire, as now sub-commander Quaeryt leads 5th Battalion, the vanguard of the Southern Army of Telaryn led by commander Skarpa, his friend from Tilbor, into Bovaria proper against the forces of cruel Rex Kharst.
After Quaeryt and Skarpa defeated the Bovarian invasion so decisively at Ferrravyl in the previous book, the Bovarians are on the defensive and unprepared as they lost all their invading army, but they still can muster 40+ regiments if given time, while Telaryn can manage 20-30 at most in addition of having all the logistical problems of an invading army in enemy territory, though luckily Rex Kharst is not that popular, only extremely feared.
Also the hopes of the Pharsi nation, subjugated and persecuted by Kharst, rest on Quaeryt's shoulders too as his command is mostly Pharsi refugee soldiers and officers in addition of course to the few mostly untrained Imagers whom he has to shape into officers too.
And not to make matters easier, Quaeryt's wife and Lord Bhayar's youngest sister, Vaelora, now pregnant, has her own job at court to co-rule with her sister-in-law Aelina, as Telaryn's ruler is with the main Army of the North since he has staked everything on the invasion too..
Moreover the Telaryn Commander in Chief, Marshal Deucalon doesn't like Quaeryt or Skarpa in the least so they get the minimum amount of soldiers and the maximum amount of hardship possible without triggering Bhayar's ire, while Sub-Marshal Myskil, former close confidant of governor Rescalyn and presumably involved in his plot to take over Telaryn and depose Bhayar, still remembers Quaeryt's so elegantly breaking the plot, while leaving a dead Rescalyn as a big war hero of Telaryn...

I've also become a big fan of this series, although I haven't read the earlier volumes. For some reason, after I became a fan, I decided to leave those until after the conclusion of the current arc (at least I guess it makes sense chronologically).
I'm glad that you liked the latest addition and cannot wait for it to come out. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for the kind words; while there are references to the unification in the original series, they are quite cryptic and veiled, so outside of knowing the outcome (which after all by now is not that hard to guess again in very general terms as I am sure the author has some surprises still) at least in very general lines, there are no real spoilers
The original series is much more modern essentially taking place in a state that has both magic and (the start at least of) large scale industry

Libya beat Gabon 4-2 on penalties to reach the semi-finals of the 2014 Chan tournament where they will play Zimbabwe.
The otherwise lacklustre encounter had finished 1-1 after extra time and during the penalty shoot-out at Peter Mokaba Stadium which witnessed drizzling showers, Libya scored all their penalties while Gabon missed two.
Sunday's first quarter-final encounter was in stark contrast to swashbuckling two matches that were played at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday involving Morocco, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Mali that witnessed a total of 10 goals.
Gabon were the first to create a real chance when Romuald Ewouta missed a clear cut opportunity in the second minute when he prised open a static Libyan defence but failed to beat goalkeeper Mohamed Abdaula.
Gabon goalkeeper, Yves Bitseki Moto was then forced to cut a menacing cross in the eighth minute in Libya's firs sniff at goal.
Libyan defender Motasem Sabbou then handled just outside the box but Samson Mbingui's ferocious free kick cannoned off the upright in the 12th minute.
Libya's reply was swift but striker Almoatasembellah Mohamed sliced his shot agonisingly wide when it looked easier to score than miss.
Franck Engonga then earned himself a yellow card for bringing down Libyan striker Ahmed Almaghasi but the resultant free-kick went well wide giving Moto little problems as both sides started to fashion out a few chances.
However, there were no clear-cut chances as both teams seemed contend to go to the break sharing a goalless draw.
In the second half, it was Libya who looked more dangerous and they duly took the lead in the 50th minute through Abselsalam Omar whose delicate chip found Moto, in goals for Gabon, at sea.
Talented Bonventure Taty then weaved his way past a number of Libyan defenders but his final product was disappointing as Gabon tried to reply immediately.
In the 72nd minute, Libyan defender Abdelrahman Fetori brought down Lionel Yackouya inside the box and Daniel Cousin made no mistake from the spot to bring parity in the game.
Cousin could have made the match safe for the tiny Central African country in the 86th minute but saw his header saved by Mohamed Abdoula in goals for Libya.
That was the last chance of normal time as the two sides went into extra time.
Substitute Mohamed Ghanudi could have given Libya the lead but his powerful shot came off the cross bar as the North Africans smelt blood in the first period of extra time.
Libya finished stronger and Fetori was again denied by Moto as the North Africans ended the extra time asking probing questions as penalties started to loom.

POLITICS, Books & Giveaways
By Jackie Burrell
Monday, February 11th, 2008 at 1:39 pm in Contest.
Happy Monday, folks! We're up to our eyeballs in campaign slogans and debates, so it seems only appropriate to give this week's giveaway a presidential twist. So, we're offering up two books, the Smithsonian's "White House Q&A," a very cool, picture-filled guide to White House trivia (Did you know Woodrow Wilson let sheep graze on the White House lawn? And Warren G Harding was a poker nut?), together with Donna Gephart's "As If Being 12 3/4 Isn't Bad Enough, My Mother is Running for President," a humorous novel about a candidate's much aggrieved tween daughter. It's aimed at kids ages 9-12, and it's so hot-off-the-press, it doesn't even land in bookstores till tomorrow.
You guys remember how this works, right? (We know Danielle knows – she won last week's "Juno Baby" DVD contest!) Click "comments," answer the question and we'll draw a winner Friday night. So, sticking with the political theme here, you know those "Huckabee for President" and "Obama Baby" T-shirts? (No, no, not the "I've got a crush on Obama" spanky pants. The tees for tots.) Would you ever dress your tot in a political T-shirt? Why or why not?
[You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.]

10 Wrestlers Who Need New Music
by, 04-30-2012 at 05:27 PM (8467 Views)
Hey guys, Knox here, hoping all is well with you guys. I haven't blogged in a while. I wanna talk about the wrestlers who currently have the worst themes that could really use new music, I'll leave my suggestions on what their new music should be with a link for each, this should be fun as hell. Hope you enjoy.
10 Wrestlers Who Need New MUSIC...NOW!!!
Current Theme: "So Close"
To me, the song is pretty cool but it just doesn't fit the Uso's, I think its fits better for someone like Titus O'Neil.
New Theme: "Hard 4 Yall" by Jae Knox
I might get heat for using my own track as a suggestion but when I made this track I thought of the Uso's running to the ring to this after their fireworks. I feel like the best more so goes with their character more than the actual lyrics. But when you think about it, the Uso's do have this "Go Hard" persona about them.
Current Theme: "Longnecks & Rednecks"
I just think its a poor song no matter who its being used for, personally. I respect the artists because I actually like alot of their music, they're damn good.
New Theme: "Talkin 2 Myself" by Eminem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNY7fQSWfSwThis would fit him well in the situation he's going through storyline wise. He feels like he's ket everyone down and is contemplating retiring. Just listen to the song and you'll see why I chose this. I'm a big Eminem fan, he's the greatest rapper ever so I had to find a way to squeeze him somewhere on here.
Current Theme: "S.O.S."
I loved this theme...3 YEARS AGO!!!. Kofi isn't Jamaican, he's now billed from his rightful hometown, West Ghana, Africa. Why he still uses this is beyond me, it makes zero sense and maybe that's why he isn't as over with the fans as he was back when he actually used the Jamaican accent. BTW, when HBK exposed his accent in the ring, that was one of the funniest segments ever lol.
New Theme: "Kingston" by Sean Kingston
Listen to this theme and try telling me this doesn't fit him better than what he has now. If they're going to with the Jamaican thing, this would be perfect. It would also be a perfect heel theme, if they were to ever give him a shot as a heel. Check it out.
Current Theme: "Party"
Might be one of the worst themes ever, very hard to listen to. This does nothing for her character. I like her as a face but I want her to still be a Bad Girl which leads me to my idea for her new theme.
New Theme: "Bad Girl" by Fabolous
This fits Alicia perfectly in my opinion. She has the swag of the actual girls who sings this song. She would be taken serious if she was that sex symbol but in a classy way.
Current Theme: "I Am Remix"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fiHdIiOH78My God this version sucks butt in so many ways. The change of the beat ruined it and it just doesn't flow the way it should, this has to be changed sooner or later.
New Theme: "Get Ready to Fly" (Old Theme)
This is the much better version, he should still be using this right here. No reason why they should have dropped this from him.
Current Theme: "Smoke & Mirrors 2"
I think it definitely fits Cody but it only sounds good when your at the arena live. When I went to Raw on April 9th, and I went to the TLC PPV in 2011 in December and this theme sounds beautiful live. But from home its not a good theme. The track has a great drum kit that translates well in the arena but not so good from home.
New Theme: "Smoke & Mirrors" by Downstait
I'm good friends with Sean Arata, he's a member of Downstait. We talk alot and are actually working on a track as of now. Anyway, he told me the WWE contacted them to do a theme for Cody Rhodes using the same lyrics as his current theme. They kept the theme on file but Jim Johnston decided not to go with their version. As many of you may know, Downstait does the themes for The Miz, Alex Riley & Dolph Ziggler. Hopefully, they let Cody go with their version, its awesome.
Current Theme: "What's Up Instrumental with Guitar"
This basically makes no sense, this was an opportunity to give him something totally fresh and brand new. I remember when he had no music at all after the heel turn and we were all anticipating what his theme might be. Then they hit us in the head with this lol the same theme but just the instrumental and a cool little guitar.
Current Theme: "Just Close Your Eyes" (Male Version)
I never liked the idea of him going to this theme. I feel like it worked a little bit for him as a face but not too much. As a heel, he looks weird coming out to this theme, its definitely a babyface theme.
New Theme: "Just Close Your Eyes" by Waterproof Blonde (Old Theme)
This was perfect for Christian, one of the better themes I've ever heard. He had the perfect walk to this theme and wore the hoodie and it was just a gold gimmick and music. Needs to go back to this ASAP.
Current Theme: "My Time is Now" by John Cena
I actually like this theme, it holds alot of memories for me and I'm pretty sure for wrestling fans all over the world. But even good things must come to an end. I think Cena is in the making of a totally new gimmick so maybe new music would solidify that change.
New Theme: "Legend in the Makin" by Jae Knox
I hate to plug myself again but I always had this dream of Cena using this song as his theme. If you look at Cena's titantron on mute and play this song, it fits him perfect. I think it would go with a new gimmick if he changed his gimmick to a more straight forward tough guy that doesn't pander to the fans as much. A guy that just gets the job done not worrying about what the haters think of him, I think this theme could work but what do I know lol.
Current Theme: "Just Don't Care Anymore"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNdHj8KbTPIBy far the worst theme in wrestling today. This might be the farthest from Wade's current gimmick. Makes no sense, I truly don't know what was going through creatives head when they pulled this out the hat.
New Theme: "Dirty Little Thing" by Adelitas Way
Check this one out. This goes perfectly with Wade. He could do a slow walk to the ring similar to Orton and literally takeover and draw huge heat. This is a World Champion's theme to me. One of my favorite bands.
Hope you guys enjoyed this one, this one literally took me 3 hours to construct. Hope you like it. Thanks and please leave feedback. Also let me know the wrestlers you feel need a new theme and the theme that would fit them best. Thanks again peeps. Be safe. Until then.

Hi everyone.
Hopefully this is a simple fix. My friends site http://www.autodentz.co.uk has a Jquery image fader (just 3 images) on the right on the home page. It seems to work fine in Firefox on my mac but for some reason on Chrome it doesnt load the full size of the images.
Can anyone help me please. Im very new to Jquery !!
The site again is
Thanks in advance
Hi Hal8!
The problem is Chrome is too fast LOL. It runs the plugin before all of the images are loaded, so all you need to do is switch the document.ready to window.load. Oh and there is an extra comma after the "pause: 1″ that will make IE throw a fit, so remove that too.
$(window).load(function() {
$("#slideshow").css("overflow", "hidden");
fx: 'fade',
pause: 1
$("#slideshow").hover(function() {
}, function() {
Hi Mottie
Thanks you very much….that did the trick

With the recent successful launch of the much-anticipated Nintendo 3DS (Nintendo being Apple's sworn enemy), the impending future of portable LCD technology is one of selectable autostereoscopy. Naturally, there's a lot of refinement before such screens can handle their viewing angle, ghosting, and battery issues; but in the next few years it is more than feasible to imagine our iPhones, iPads, and iPods with this young and promising tech built in.
That said, stereoscopic (read "3D") imaging is no new feat. In fact, it's been around for over 150 years! Some of the most fascinating American photographs ever captured were made during the Civil War using dual-lens methods, and viewing them in the present age is, emotionally, as striking as it is humbling. It is with this age-old approach that Steven Romej's free app "Stereogram – photos with depth" hit the App Store today; and, though it is neither the first nor the most robust solution for achieving 3D photographs on the iPhone, it is by far the fastest to manipulate, the simplest to learn, and the easiest to use.
Rather than capturing two (slightly askew) photos of the same scene and placing them side-by-side, Romej has dumbed the process down considerably, automatically outputting your paired images as a "wigglegram" and letting you save and/or upload your creation for public consumption. This differs from convention in that most 3D photography requires much of the viewer: He must be able to either disfocus or cross his eyes and view a central image between the two source photos to achieve the desired illusion of depth.
With the iPhone 4 rapidly taking over the Flickrverse, as recently reported, there should be an uptick in rediscovery of this old photographic art form. And even though Romej's addition to the line-up doesn't yet allow for direct email image-sharing or .gif conversion, it is an extremely lightweight (863 KB) and stable little toy. Hopefully, future updates will add more options, but wigglegrams are a fast, fun way for anyone to view photographs in (virtual) 3D.
It is worth mentioning that for serious stereoscopic image creation, Juicy Bits' more mature, feature-rich "3D Camera" is the iOS category's de facto standard, but it's neither free nor universal (the iPad version being largely superior). So before taking the financial plunge a mightier app might call for, take this gratis code out for a photo-shoot and breathe some new life into your old, flat pics. You might be surprised at how much fun you'll have.
