Is it a legitimate fear that a guy would sexually reject a gal in bed?
If so, why?
Lets say that he likes her and gets with her, well then is he likely to be shocked or surprised by her when she is nude and in bed? Like if she isn't incredible beautiful naked, and if she isn't a rock star in bed?
Would a guy be likely to change his mind about her?
Most Helpful Opinion
the only reason I have ever actually rejected someone in bed is because of her smell.
A reason that came close was because the 'main event' was preceded by about 9 hours of on-again/off-again flirty play. My penis was up and down so many times it just couldn't take it anymore and went to sleep. So, I didn't reject her but I postponed the encounter until morning, after I gave it a rest.
Ha Ha Ha, normalice, you give the best answers.
aww, thank you. I aim to inform and entertain.
'rock star' is a masculine term. The point of being a rock star is so that women want to sleep with you. This obviously has very little meaning when women become rock stars, because men would want to sleep with them anyway.
anyway, men aren't usually interested in how good women are in bed. As long as a girl is interested in having sex, she can be taught how. The only thing girls need to worry about performing well are blowjobs, and that can be perfected with practice which we'll eagerly coach.
What Guys Said 3
I think I have done it to a female once or twice in the bedroom, it was my body that told them that before my mouth did.
One time I was giving my friend a massage, so she got completely naked, which wasn't necessary, she kept looking at my pants to see if I was hard and I couldn't get aroused because she wasn't attractive, I'm sure that hurt her confidence.
Men get rejected left and right by women, so its just the same thing, not often but it happens. These things happen, Oh well.
What Girls Said 1
No, but I have had dreams where that situation occurs. Weird. Maybe subconsciously I do :o
Unless the guy has the IQ and personality of a potato, I don't see why he would sexually reject a normal girl.
What if he was in a committed relationship to somebody else? What if she's on her period, and he really REALLY isn't into that? What if he wants to hold out for religious reasons? What if she's drunk? What if he just doesn't feel like it?
Have an opinion?

Last week, NASA teamed up with Dreamtime Holdings, a California company leasing space at NASA's Ames Research Center. The company will supply NASA with high-definition TV equipment for the shuttle and space station so that ground-based scientists can monitor experiments in space. Dreamtime will also display both new and archived images on its "state-of-the-art multimedia portal" on the Web, so you can watch astronauts at work.

This thread is pointless !
If it had been headed "The FX series is a Failure", then it would fit in more with your negative but obviously uninformed view of things !
Have you ever owned a FX card, and if so, what harm did it do to you. And, never mind saying it was not as good as percieved by a ATI card user for certain games etc. That actually doesn't matter, as the only real criteria is whether it worked within your needs, for what you paid.
Also, the best graphics card in the world will work crap when installed in the worst performing computer. So what you get from your graphics card has just as much if not more to do with the rest of your computer setup !
What is your problem or agenda, are you a ATI fanboy or what ?
In spite of some bad Press and/or Political hype, the FX series of card has actually shown to perform very well, especially the 59xx series. Which is why so many, including myself, bought one, and don't regret it !

Meet the Doctors
Charles C. Greene, MD, PhD | Jacksonville ENT Surgeon
Dr. Charles Greene MD is a board certified Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgeon. He has benefited from world-class training and has a long track record of excellence and commitment to community service. Reared in the rough inner city area of Compton, California, Dr. Greene was able to overcome many early challenges in life to graduate from high school Magna Cum Laude. He went on to achieve his bachelor of science degree in Biological Sciences at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) where he was the recipient of numerous awards for academic work and community service. In addition, he was involved in student government and held positions in both local and national health care organizations. At UCI, Dr. Greene performed research in Behavioral Neural Pharmacology under the direction of Dr. James L. McGaugh who was the founding executive Vice Chancellor of the UCI, Chairman of the Center, and member of the National Academy of Sciences. In addition, he simultaneously performed research under the Direction of H.W. Moore, Chairman of the Department of Chemistry at UCI. With the support and direction of these great men, Dr. Greene developed an interest in becoming a physician scientist.
He matriculated into the University of Washington School of Medicine and was admitted into the very competitive Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), where he simultaneously worked on his MD and PhD degrees (In Physiology and Biophysics with an emphasis in Neurophysiology). Dr. Greene continued to excel at the University of Washington and received numerous academic and community service awards. One of the awards he is most proud of is the "Outstanding and Meritorious Service and Achievement in Academic Excellence."
Dr. Charles Greene was the first graduate/professional student recipient of this award and there was an extensive write up in the Seattle Times Newspaper summarizing his accomplishments. At the University of Washington, Dr. Greene performed his dissertation under the Direction of Dr. Wayne E. Crill, Chairman of the Department of Physiology and Biophysics and one of the preeminent neuroscientists in the country. Dr. Greene's brain research examined the effects of activating a new class of brain receptors and was published in the Journal of Neurophysiology and in the European Journal of Pharmacology. Dr. Greene received world-class training at the University of Washington, which, according to U.S. News and World reports, is consistently ranked among the top Medical Schools in the United States and is currently ranked as the number one school in family medicine. After graduating from the University of Washington with both an MD and PhD, Dr. Greene received his residency training in General Surgery and in Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Michigan. The Department of Otolaryngology at Michigan is known as one of the finest residency training programs in the world. In fact, the U.S. News and World Reports, for decades, has ranked the Michigan Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery as one of the top 5 residency programs in the United States. While at Michigan, Dr. Greene's research led to the discovery of a novel hearing loss gene (locus), DFNA-25, and that work is published in the 2001 edition of the American Journal of Human Genetics.
Dr. Greene's combination of scientific thinking, commitment to the community, and training under the guidance of world-renowned mentors has helped him develop into an outstanding clinician. Yet, if asked what he values most about patient care, he will tell you it is knowing that he did his very best to meet the emotional and physical needs of every person that comes under his medical care.
Dr. Andrew R. Simonsen
Dr. Andrew R. Simonsen is a fellowship-trained Otolaryngologist and is board certified in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery and Facial Plastic Surgery. He is a 2001 graduate of the University of Hawaii at Mānoa and holds a Bachelor of Science in Food Science and Human Nutrition. A 2005 medical school graduate of Western University in Pomona, California, he went on to complete his residency training in General Surgery, Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery and Facial Plastic Surgery at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in 2011. His residency experience included additional training at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the University of North Carolina in children's cancer, head/neck surgery and pediatric ENT. Following residency, he completed a Pediatric Otolaryngology Fellowship at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas where he trained at Texas Children's Hospital, the nation's largest children's hospital.
Dr. Simonsen is an active member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS), American Osteopathic Colleges of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (AOCOO-HNS), and American Academy of Pediatrics. In addition, he has held numerous leadership positions throughout his training, including voting member of the AOCOO-HNS Counsel of Residents and Fellows and chief resident of his Otolaryngology/Facial Plastic Surgery residency. Locally, he is a contributing member of the Northeast Florida Pediatric Society and the Greater Jacksonville ENT Society.
His published works include multiple peer-reviewed journal articles and a text book chapter on nasal septoplasty. Academic interests include nasal reconstruction, neural regeneration and protocols for reducing medical errors. His clinical interests and experiences are focused on the medical and surgical management of ear, nose and throat disorders, with particular interest in pediatric nasal and sinus disease, allergic rhinitis, pediatric voice and airway disorders, sleep apnea, congenital disorders of the head and neck, and hearing loss.
He considers it a great privilege to serve the citizens of Northeast Florida and enjoys supporting local causes. There is a good chance you will see him and his family at the Down Syndrome Association of Jacksonville's annual "Buddy Walk" or discussing childhood communication problems at community events of the Jacksonville Speech and Hearing Center.

Christmas on the barbecue
Posted 14 Dec 12 at 12.00am
Turn a classic Christmas comfort into a modern,
Aussie-inspired dish that'll take centre stage on the table! Think succulent, tender turkey that's sweet and zesty in flavour and filled with crunchy, creamy macadamias - delicious.
Barbecued turkey with honey macadamia stuffing
Serves 8
Prep 25 minutes
Cook 1 hour 45 minutes (plus cooling time)
You'll need unwaxed kitchen string
60g butter
1 small brown onion, finely chopped
¾ cup macadamia nuts, finely chopped
¾ cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon finely grated orange rind
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
²⁄³ cup orange juice
¹⁄³ cup honey
1.6kg single turkey breast, skin-on
(see note)
Gravy, to serve
1. Melt half the butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add nuts. Cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden. Stir in breadcrumbs, orange rind, rosemary, 2 tablespoons orange juice and 1 tablespoon honey. Stir until combined. Remove from heat. Cool.
2. Meanwhile, place remaining butter, orange juice and honey in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture has slightly thickened. Cool.
3. Place turkey, skin-side down, on a board. Using a sharp knife, make a deep cut along one side of breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open breast fillet out. Place stuffing along centre of one half of breast. Roll to enclose stuffing. Tie up turkey with kitchen string at 2cm intervals to secure.
4. Preheat barbecue (with hood) hot plate on medium heat with hood closed. Place turkey, skin-side-up, in a large disposable foil baking tray. Brush turkey with half the butter mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Cook turkey, using indirect heat (see note), with hood closed, basting occasionally with remaining butter mixture, for 1 hour 30 minutes or until cooked through (cover loosely with foil

Available now is the first pre-release clip for the soon coming sequel of Gundam EXVS, "Gundam EXVS Full Boost" which promises more of the robot fighting action to English soundtracks the game is renowned for.
The video preview does well to rivet an individual – with the song's combination of heavy guitar, screaming, and yelling, doing much in the way of inciting adrenaline alongside the fast-paced sights of explosions and electricity as robots do battle. The low-res quality of the video as result of it being recorded from afar fails to hinder the intensity offered by the video at all – going to show simply how invigorating the action is.

Undergraduate Programs
Minor in Energy Engineering, Pratt School of Engineering
The Minor in Energy Engineering offers Duke Bachelor of Science in Engineering candidates rigorous exposure to fundamentals of energy engineering and an opportunity to make a difference in some of the defining challenges of our time. Graduates will be well-prepared for careers focused on engineering solutions to energy-related issues, including energy generation, delivery, conversion and efficiency. Students can mold their educational program to their professional specialty by selecting courses from a number of electives.
Certificate in Energy and the Environment, Pratt School of Engineering and Trinity College of Arts and Sciences
This certificate program provides Duke undergraduates with an understanding of the breadth of issues that confront our society in its need for clean, affordable and reliable energy. An expertise in energy will expand career options in the private, non-profit, government and academic sectors. The goal of the Certificate is to develop innovative thinkers and leaders who understand the energy system as a whole and the important interconnections among policy, markets, technology and the environment.
The Gendell Center for Energy and the Environment is the central focus of an Energy and Environmental Systems Engineering initiative that will prepare students to tackle significant societal problems related to environmental quality, and sustainable energy and security.
Professional Programs
Master of Environmental Management (MEM) (pdf), Nicholas School of the Environment
A professional program designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively address energy and environmental challenges. Students who pursue the Energy and Environment program area will be well prepared for positions in the corporate, government and non-government sectors.
Master of Business Administration (MBA), Fuqua School of Business
The MBA Energy and Environment Concentration enables students to dive deeper into issues of clean technologies, energy policy, carbon markets, environmental law, and corporate sustainability. Students pursuing this concentration are immersed in the energy industry, learning how energy and environmental issues affect businesses now and in the future.
In July 2013, Fuqua extended its offerings with the approval of a new MBA Concentration in Energy Finance. The new concentration, which is an addition to the school's existing MBA Concentration in Energy & Environment, will give MBAs a chance to dive deeper on issues of project finance, markets and trading, corporate finance, and risk management, with a grounding in the specifics of global energy markets.
Master of Engineering Management (MEMP), Pratt School of Engineering
This interdisciplinary program prepares engineering and science graduates to become future industry leaders, and is administered with the support of the Fuqua School of Business and School of Law. The MEMP combines a core management curriculum with a master's level technical education, an internship, and an intensive seminar and workshop series.
Master of Engineering (ME), Civil and Environmental Engineering, Pratt School of Engineering
A non-thesis graduate program providing training with a real-world focus involving a broad understanding of business, leadership, communication, and innovation. Students take full advantage of Duke as a research institution and graduates are ready to tackle industry challenges in fields of project design, product development, and engineering design.
Master of Public Policy (MPP), Sanford School of Public Policy
This professional program prepares students for careers as analysts, managers and leaders in various levels of government, non-profit organizations, and corporations in domestic and international locations. The MPP has a policy-focused curriculum emphasizing the tools and methods of rigorous analysis while also offering courses in ethics, management, and leadership to round out development of essential skills.
Juris Doctor (JD), Duke Law School
Currently one of the strongest groups on environmental law in the country, Duke Law offers courses on U.S. and international environmental law, energy law, climate change law, and related topics. Duke is the only top school in the country that allows students to earn both a law degree and a master's degree in three years. This dual degree program allows for maximum flexibility by encouraging students to chart a course of specialized study.
Concurrent Professional Degree Programs
Students enrolling in professional programs have the opportunity to seek concurrent degrees with Duke University's Fuqua School of Business (MBA), the Pratt School of Engineering (MEMP), the Nicholas School of the Environment (MEM), the School of Law (JD), and the Sanford School of Public Policy (MPP). To be considered for concurrent degrees, students apply to both programs in separate applications. Students enrolled in the concurrent programs may work toward both degrees simultaneously, reducing total tuition and time in residence.
Doctoral Programs
The focus of Duke's doctoral programs is to prepare students for careers in research and teaching in higher education and other institutions. Doctoral degree programs are appropriate for students desiring to concentrate their study and research within a well-defined subject area and pursue fewer and more advanced topics to a greater depth than students in professional degree programs. Doctoral students also emphasize research as a major part of their degree programs. A comprehensive list of Ph.D. programs is offered by Duke University Graduate School.
While graduate students with an interest in energy could be found in almost any of Duke's doctoral programs, greater concentrations of energy-related research can be found at the Nicholas School of the Environment, the Pratt School of Engineering, and the Sanford School of Public Policy.
University Program in Environmental Policy (UPEP), Nicholas School of the Environment and Sanford School of Public Policy
The first Ph.D. program in the world jointly coordinated by a school of the environment and a school of public policy. UPEP offers doctoral students the opportunity to conduct research leveraging the breadth of expertise across two world-class academic and research institutions, in coordination with the Departments of Economics and Political Science.

The Crossmans and the Inn
The Crossmans met while graduate students at Duke (Deanna in Cell Biology, Colin in Law), restoring homes across the street from one another. Their shared interest for reviving neglected homes and the thirst for more knowledge led them to an unusual honeymoon destination – General Contracting School at The Shelter Institute in Maine.
After learning more about restoration, they continued their preservation efforts as a team. When the King's Daughters Home went on the market in 2006, the newlyweds saw tremendous possibilities where others had seen limitations. The more they learned about the history of the building, the more convinced they became that converting it into a boutique Bed and Breakfast would be the most appropriate new use for the former retirement Home. It would also have a lower impact on the surrounding historic neighborhood of Trinity Park than other proposed uses.
Values they share as a couple formed the philosophical cornerstone of the project: a desire to preserve historic architecture for future generations; a deep respect for the environment and belief in saving resources wherever possible; and a love of technology.
After obtaining the necessary special use permit required to operate a B&B in a residential area, they were ready to proceed. Deanna resigned her post at Duke as an HIV researcher to become the general contractor for her most ambitious project yet.
Two years later, the Crossmans realized their vision and officially became the Innkeepers.

Case dismissed of American who successfully sued Castro dictatorship for their refusal to respond
Par for the course for the lawless dictatorial government of the Castro crime family in Cuba.
Via the Portland Press Herald:
Cuba won't respond to Maine woman's lawsuit, so it's dismissed
The woman is seeking to enforce a $21 million judgment for the 1963 wrongful death of her father.
BANGOR – A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Stockton Springs woman against the Republic of Cuba because the island nation failed to respond to repeated summonses by the court.
Sherry Sullivan sued earlier this year, after winning a ruling in state court in 2009 that Cuba was guilty of the wrongful death of her father, a pilot who is believed to have been shot down over Cuba in 1963 while on a covert mission.
The judge who ruled in Waldo County Superior Court on Aug. 10, 2009, awarded Sullivan $21 million plus interest, according to federal court records.
Sullivan's filing in U.S. District Court in Bangor sought to enforce the $21 million judgment for the "extrajudicial torture and extrajudicial killing" of Geoffrey Sullivan.
U.S. District Judge George Singal ordered the case dismissed without prejudice -- meaning it can be brought forward later -- after receiving no response from Cuba to three orders, court records show.
The lawsuit in state court alleged that Geoffrey Sullivan, who was 29 at the time, was captured and later died in a Cuban jail.
The state and federal lawsuits argued that Cuba was liable under the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996.
Sullivan's attorney, David Van Dyke, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.

A resident of east Sidon checks up on her neighbors Sunday, after a tremor hit the area overnight causing limited damage to the buildings, Sunday, July 6, 2014. (The Daily Star/ Mohammed Zaatari)
BEIRUT: Construction and public safety experts say Lebanon is exposed to 600 minor tremors annually, and that a large number of buildings are old, lacking maintenance and at risk of collapse in the event of a strong earthquake.
"Lebanon witnesses 600 mild tremors measuring 3 degrees or less on the Richter scale annually and we have statistics showing that 80 percent of the buildings are between 60 and 70 years old and have not undergone any maintenance work since construction and thus would not sustain a strong tremor," the head of Building Safety Network Yousef Azzam told a news conference Wednesday.
Azzam pointed out that on a scale of three in terms of earthquake risks Lebanon is located in "Zone Two" in the world.
"It means that there is a possibility of having earthquakes with a magnitude of 6 or 7 degrees in Lebanon which would cause the collapse of buildings and inflict lots of casualties and damage," he said, noting that the majority of Lebanon's population reside in old poorly-maintained buildings.
Azzam called for stronger quality control on new constructions by municipalities and the syndicate of engineers to ensure proper adherence to safety specifications.
The head of the Youth Association for Safety Awareness (YAZA) Ziad Akel told the same conference that some 16,260 buildings are at high risk of total collapse in the case of a strong tremor.
"Unfortunately, the notion of maintenance does not exist in Lebanon," Akel said. "In developed countries an annual verification of building safety is conducted, while in Lebanon there is no proper control on road, and buildings during construction or afterwards," he added.
Lebanon witnessed a spate of mild tremors last week which raised concern about the country's unpreparedness to deal with a such natural events.

Dover, DE (Sports Network) - Jimmie Johnson claimed his seventh win at Dover
International Speedway with a dominating performance in Sunday's FedEx 400, a
race that featured a big crash in the opening laps.
Johnson led 289 laps, including the final 76, in the 400-lap race. He crossed
the finish line 2.6 seconds ahead of Kevin Harvick to place him in a tie with
NASCAR Hall of Famers Richard Petty and Bobby Allison for most all-time wins
at this one-mile, concrete-surfaced racetrack.
The five-time Sprint Cup Series champion also claimed his second win of the
season and the 57th of his career.
"Clearly, we had a fast race car, amazing pit stops," Johnson said. "When you
lead the most laps, sometimes at the end the way the cautions fall it can
backfire on the dominant car, and the way cautions fell today, it allowed us
to really flex our muscle and bring home the win."
Johnson wore a multi-colored wig during his celebration in Dover's Victory
Lane. His Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet donned a special paint scheme
promoting the upcoming movie "Madagascar."
"I'm just proud of this hair," he said. "The hair really brought some speed to
the team. I could see our engine tuner who is catching the front tires that
came across on pit stops, and I got a laugh every time I came on to pit road."
A Hendrick Motorsports driver has won the last four Sprint Cup races. Last
month, Johnson claimed his first win of the season at Darlington and then took
the checkered flag for the all-star event at Charlotte. Kasey Kahne won the
600-mile race at Charlotte last weekend.
The 12-car wreck -- the biggest one this season so far -- occurred on lap nine
when defending series champion Tony Stewart made contact with Landon Cassill
coming out of turn two and then both drivers spun around. Regan Smith, who was
running right behind Stewart, also spun, which triggered the melee on the
"I didn't actually feel (Stewart) touch me," Cassill said. "Tony is one of the
most patient drivers, especially in this part of the race...He's one of the
best. It's just too bad it tore up that many race cars."
NASCAR stopped the race for 20 minutes to remove several damaged cars that
clogged the backstretch. There were no injuries in the incident.
Stewart returned to the track later but finished 69 laps behind in 25th.
"The No. 83 (Cassill) was trying to get back down to the bottom, and we were
just in the wrong place at the wrong time," Stewart said. "It wasn't
Regan's fault. He was right behind me and didn't have anywhere to go either.
So it's just not a real good deal at the beginning of the race like this."
Smith also came back onto the track, while Cassill's car was damaged beyond
"I got into the back of the No. 14 (Stewart) and started the whole thing,"
Smith said. "I will take full blame for that. Somehow they got checked up in
front of me. I just didn't have time to get slowed up with it."
Harvick bounced back from a pit road blunder which occurred just after the
halfway point. He overshot his pit stall during a caution and lost valuable
track position at the time.
"I made a mistake on pit road there and got us back to about 20th," Harvick
said. "The car was good enough to be able to drive back through the pack, and
for whatever reason, we were able to adjust our car well today when we needed
to, and we were able to keep up with the racetrack and keep our car better
through the day."
Matt Kenseth finished third, while Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Clint Bowyer rounded
out the top-five.
Aric Almirola placed sixth, followed by Martin Truex Jr., Joey Logano, Kahne
and Marcos Ambrose.
Jeff Gordon led the second most laps with 60 and was contention to win this
race until he experienced a loose left-rear tire, forcing him to make an
unexpected pit stop in the late-stages. Gordon was not a factor from there, as
he finished 13th.
"In some ways we got fortunate today," Gordon said. "I could have stayed out
there and wrecked because, it wasn't really vibrating. It was getting real
Despite an 11th-place finish, Greg Biffle remained atop the point standings.
Biffle's advantage is only one point over his Roush Fenway Racing teammate,
"I feel good about our position," Kenseth said. "Early in the year, you want
to be as high as you can in the points. Obviously if we make the Chase, they
rack up by wins, and so that's really what you look at right now."
Earnhardt Jr. is third in points (-10), followed by Denny Hamlin (-22), who
finished 18th at Dover, and Johnson (-33).

- BuyMoscow 1937 by Karl Schlögel, translated by Rodney Livingstone
Polity, 650 pp, £16.99, March 2014, ISBN 978 0 7456 5077 7
Over the last thirty years, Karl Schlögel has been the most distinguished flâneur among historians of Russia. A sense of place – both as the setting for human encounters and something that conditions cultural and intellectual life – has informed much of his work. In 1984 he published Moskau lesen, an essayistic exploration of the Soviet capital, while his later books include a history of St Petersburg in the early 20th century which sees the city as a 'laboratory of modernity', and a study of Russian-German interactions through the prism of Berlin, which Schlögel christens 'Europe's Ostbahnhof'.

An odd reflective kinda post.... Have you gotten a ticket?
Red areas for those with a short attention span.
So riding motorcycles is a meditation for me. Period. The nature of it blends seamlessly with the type of living I do and embodies aspects of the things I appreciate about what it is to live. Namely concepts of balance and harmony. Any person that hasn't had a moment where you feel like part of your bike.... You are missing out. I've had LEVEL's of that moment in different context but last week I had the most intense one of my life as of yet and I'm thinking it could potentially stay that way till I rot....... sooooo I decided to ramble about it and allude to the idea that traffic laws are noticeably written under the context of keeping cages safe not bikes........
Onto a blogish ramble.
So this post started with me wanting to ask everyone in the LOCAL D/fw area a simple question........
Have you ever gotten a ticket in the area? Be it legitimate or not and if so what for?
I've been riding in and out of this area since I got my first bike 11 years ago.
The last couple years pretty heavily by my standards. Fair weather riding-only doesn't compute for me. I've been caught out in hail, rain, what ever on my KLR and aprilia both. I'm a firm believer that to drive a motorcycle safely/ethically there is a line where laws that were clearly written for cages aren't the safest way to ride a bike. I firmly believe to safely/ethically ride a bike you have to do so with the best of your abilities with everyones saftey in mind WITHIN your capabilities even if that means breaking the law. Not all riders ride equally. There Isn't as wide of a margin of abilities on the road for cars as there is for bikes. So you ride what bike you're based on collective attributes and a Tuono has different attributes than a KLR does.....
Never seen anyone get hassled on a bike that wasn't acting stupidly within the context of a group.
On my Tuono running down 35 through dallas, commuting you'll go thru a maze of semi's sometimes. So on that bike I feel safer knowing that I can blip through it pretty quickly and just seperate from the group entirely because it's safer than sitting by an 18 wheeler and catching a cross wind into one in the other lane yah know? On the flip side, no sea of 18 wheelers wants to have a tiny bike riding way back hard to see in the mirrors and what not. So I'll see three numbers on my speedo pretty regularly because of situations like that. That statute would be a hard one to write yah know?.....
On the OTHER end of that stick. Clyde KLR and I have gotten 3 freebies in front of law while I've been clearly walking on the back tire. (have never had to drop or bail on a wheelie since I've been riding. Knock on wood.) Not endorsing anything here just saying what I do is always been done in the context where it's safe for everyone be it in a parking lot with no cars around.............or at any light going green.
Why this ramble about laws and reflection... Two things. I was a bike show at the ball park a couple months back and I was looking at the bikes in the parking lot..... like yah do at that type-uh thang. I spied a cb750 cafe'd out in a very tasteful fashion. Period correct parts. Blah. Anyway.
A man in his 70's walks up. Asks if the bike's mine. I say "Nah. I got one thats beat up and I'm just trying to figure out what to do with it yah know?" He nods talk back and forth about the bike and whatnot for a bit and he mentions he's got an bagger at home with 200 miles on it said he was thinking about dresser. I thought odd..."Do yah not like it?"
He informs me he can only put under 100 miles or so down a year because a disc in his back is pinched and his leg kicks out from under him at random because of the nerve. I told him he should try yoga and forwarded him to the studio I worked at. Got me to thinking.... If I had a bike I could only ride 100 miles a year and be done.... Where would that 100 miles be? (Talimena on KLR btw....shit yeah ) That reflection carried on to two weeks ago when the race happened..... This being said. I do NOT condone street racing unless it's under very specific context and this one met that.
I was on my Tuono (which happens to be my dream bike from age 17-26) with some pretty fresh pilot powers for rubber and enroute home from work. 1 hour commute on windy back roads. My bikes are what make the trip worth it. It's midnight and I'm on my way home from work and am about to pull out left off 544 onto 121 south. Light goes green and I turn on the inside left and I get up to about 60 and I see an odd throw/temperature of headlights to my right when I had seen nothing at the light when I was stopped. I look over .... Brand new Ferrari........... All at once I realize It's midnight and I pulled out on a dead straight road with realistically no place for a speed trap or even anyone to turn into my way off anything for a couple miles.
Obligatory Italian to Italian throttle blip with a clutch slip..................................I wait for an answer............................................ .................................................. .............................
.... He guns it.
2nd GEAR!
3rd.4th.5th. Lane's gettin narrow here.....6th. He lets out.... I look down, 165... We back out of it. red light ahead. He takes a right. We both nod...... Adrenaline shakes for a half hour. Dream race. Dream bike. Probably the type of story I'd tell a guy... at a bike show when I'm in my 70's and can't ride anymore but refuses let it go. So I felt like sharing it with yall now. Hoping I keep the blood on the inside long enough to do just that one day. So yah thats the end. No point outside finding out about your experience when dealing with the law on two wheels and sharing some weird thoughts/story. No threads about tickets poping with the search. If anyone has a story about their bike that sticks with them that'd be cool too.

text: This seminar, which is co-taught with Professors Grainne de Burca of New York University Law School and Robert Keohane of Princeton, explores the notion of global experimentalist governance, Experimentalism is a conception of governance which stands in opposition to conventional ideas of hierarchical governing. Many forms of experimentalist governance can be seen at work in the European Union, but also in a wide range of other regimes and contexts. The key features of experimentalism are (1) the collective setting of framework goals (2) elaboration and implementation of those goals by local actors/stakeholders (3) provision by local actors of data including feedback on the goals and their elaboration (4) a system of monitoring and peer review (5) periodic revision of the goals in the light of knowledge gained (reflexivity). This seminar examines the operation and potential of experimentalist governance both within the EU and beyond, such as in the field of commodities regulation (e.g. forest and marine certification), financial regulation, human rights protection, humanitarian aid, and climate change.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, November 24, 8 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Thomas Assembly Center (8,098) -- Ruston, Louisiana. Television: None. Home Record: ULM 0-0, Louisiana Tech 1-0. Away Record: ULM 0-1, Louisiana Tech 1-1. Neutral Record: ULM 0-0, Louisiana Tech 2-0. Conference Record: ULM 0-0, Louisiana Tech 0-0. Series Record: Louisiana Tech leads 50-36.
GAME NOTES: After a 13-day break the ULM Warhawks will get set for a road test against the streaking Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at Thomas Assembly Center.
On Nov. 11 ULM opened its season up with an 85-51 rout on the road to Oklahoma. Since then the Warhawks have been idle leading up to this contest. Taking big losses was the norm for the team last season when it went just 3-26 overall, although all three wins did come on the road. The Warhawks will play their home opener next Thursday against Western Kentucky.
Louisiana Tech also dropped its season opener but since then, has yet to lose. The last three games were all part of the CBE Hall of Fame Classic with the most recent victory coming in a 71-63 decision over Chattanooga. The Bulldogs won four straight games just once last season. Louisiana Tech will remain at home to host another team from within the state in a matchup on Wednesday against Southeastern Louisiana.
This will be the 87th meeting between these instate foes. In the previous matchups, Louisiana Tech has the upper hand with a 50-36 mark against ULM all- time.
ULM was simply dominated in its loss to Oklahoma in the season opener. The Warhawks shot just 34.5 percent overall, were outscored 27-9 from beyond the arc, and had a 49-30 deficit in rebounds. Amos Olatayo was the only player on the floor for the Warhawks that seemed to be able to get anything going, as he put in 21 points and brought down eight rebounds.
The Warhawks are a largely new team from last season with four starters lost from that squad. That's not necessarily a bad thing as new blood could help a team that won only three games. Olatayo and fellow juco transfer Jayon James are some of the newcomers that were brought into right the ship. James has the ability to be a consistent contributor across the board after he averaged 7.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game last year at Lamar State-Port Arthur. Olatayo was an all-conference player for Navarro College averaging 9.4 points per game. Those two along with four other newcomers are being tasked with improving on the team's -11.4 scoring differential last season. After one game that improvement has yet to materialize.
Louisiana Tech earned its victory against Chattanooga largely in the first half. The Bulldogs had a 42-34 edge at the break after connecting on 47.8 percent of its shots from the floor including 7-of-13 from 3-point range. In the second half the Bulldogs cooled off and made just 1-of-10 attempts from beyond the arc but hit free throws down he stretch to seal the win. Raheem Appleby was the lead scorer in the game with an impressive 30-point showing.
Even though it is off to a solid start in terms of wins and losses, Louisiana Tech could use some improvement on offense. The Bulldogs are shooting just 38.7 percent from the floor this season while scoring 67.4 points per game. That type of inefficiency has yet to be exposed as the Bulldogs are limiting opponents in scoring (59.0 ppg) and field goal percentage (37.7). Appleby (18.6 ppg) is the unquestioned go-to scorer for the Bulldogs. He has already scored 20 or more points in three games this season and been in double figures four times. Cordarius Johnson (13.0 ppg) and Brandon Gibson (10.6 ppg) are the second and third options. Kenneth Smith (5.6 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 5.8 apg) has filled up the box score in a variety of ways, while MCihale Kyser (3.4 ppg, 6.0 rpg) is another one of the team's more reliable rebounders.
Momentum can swing a game at the college level and right now the Bulldogs have a ton. With Appleby at the helm, and a home crowd at their back the Bulldogs should make quick work of the Warhawks.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Louisiana Tech 74, ULM 62

WAKEFIELD, Mass. - Sean Collins (Reading, Mass.) of the University of New Hampshire men's ice hockey team was named KOHO Player of the Week by the Hockey East Association on Monday afternoon.
Collins, a sophomore forward, was awarded for his efforts over the weekend to help UNH secure the number one seed for the upcoming league tournament. Collins scored a first period goal and later had an assist on the game-tying goal vs. Boston College Friday night, and scored two goals, including the game-winner, in Saturday night's 4-2 victory over the Eagles. Saturday's win sent UNH to the Hockey East tournament seeded number one, and as regular season co-champions.
In 33 games for the 'Cats, Collins has recorded 17goals, which ties him for second on the team, and his 24 points is third best. In league play Collins has scored 13 goals and 16 points, and has five of UNH's 15 game-winners in conference play. Collins is ranked second on the team with seven power-play goals, five of which came in Hockey East action.
Sean Collins and the rest of the Wildcat squad (21-7-6, 15-5-4 HE) return to action Friday, March 7 vs. UMass-Lowell in the first game of the best-of-three quarterfinal series. The game will begin at 7 p.m. at the Whittemore Center.

The Senate drew a red line on the sand yesterday and threatened to sack any federal minister who talks carelessly. This was even as Senate President David Mark specifically warned the minister of information, Mr Labaran Maku, over careless talk.
However, Maku, who appeared before the Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe-led Senate Committee on Information, Media and Public Affairs, tendered an unreserved apology over the comment.
The minister had, while responding to a reporter's question on the resolution of the National Assembly on the botched introduction of N5,000 note said that resolutions by the National Assembly were not binding on the presidency.
Miffed by the remark, Mark also called on the president to caution ministers not to make such careless statements.
Mark lamented that the disrespectful conduct of ministers may have been given impetus largely by the "bow and go" screening approach by the Senate and warned that future screening of ministers will be more intense and thorough.
The Senate president said: "I think the information minister is a careless talker. He talks very carelessly. He did not think properly. He is not an educator and we need to educate him. I hope that the president cautions him and calls him to order.
"And I think that next time he does that... we will take a resolution here that any minister who talks carelessly be removed because there was really no need for that. For those who usually tell the minister to take a bow and go because they are very good men, I hope you are learning hard lesson by the way."
Nonetheless, the minister of information was practically humbled by the Senate's information committee, which pummelled him with questions. Maku was forced to admit that he became a minister of the Federal Republic courtesy of a Senate resolution.
He profusely apologised, saying he had no reason, personally, to denigrate the authority of the highest law-making body in the land.
"If that comment has been misinterpreted to mean that the federal government does not respect resolutions of the Senate, I tender my apology," he said. "I know that there are circumstances where the resolutions of the National Assembly carry the force of law."
Maku said he made the statement when "pressed by the press" but added that it was never intended to disparage the National Assembly.
Senator Abaribe, by virtue of the powers of the committee, had last week summoned Maku to come and explain his statement.
Further pelted with questions from the senators at a crowded session, Maku admitted that resolutions from the National Assembly are not mere advisory and that they carry the force of law. They pinned him down with the analogy of the "Doctrine of Necessity" which catapulted then vice president Jonathan to acting president.
Senator Abaribe said: "Senate wants to work in harmonious relationship with the executive. At this moment in time in Nigeria when we are besieged with all manner of problems -- either it is insecurity or flooding -- the very serious challenges that we face collectively as a nation -- we don't think that there is enough time to solve the problems, if there is bickering between the arms of government. So we wish to advise that members of the executive should show more tact when making public statements."
Jonathan Presents 2013 Budget October 4
Meanwhile, President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday wrote both arms of the National Assembly signifying his intention to present the 2013 budget to a joint session of the federal legislature on Thursday, October 4, at noon.
Jonathan's appearance clashes with the House of Representatives' oversight visit to all government ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) to audit and determine the extent of the implementation of the current 2012 budget. It was scheduled for next week.
Last Thursday, Nigeria's finance minister and coordinating minister of the economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, faced the House Representatives standing committees on Appropriation and Finance in the lead-up to the planned presentation of the 2013 budget.
However, the lower house signalled its intention to reject the planned move by the presidency to forward the 2013 budget if the current 2012 budget is not fully implemented.
House spokesman Zakari Mohammed told newsmen on Thursday that the ongoing audit of government MDAs would form the basis of the House's acceptance of the 2013 budget. "For 2013, until we are through with all these, 2013 might not be a matter in focus because we still have a lot of issues with the present budget," Mohammed said.
He said the resolution on 100 per cent budget implementation taken before federal lawmakers proceeded on its now ended two months' recess remains sacrosanct: "Unless we are convinced in our opinion that this budget (2012) has been well implemented, any other issue may begin to follow, but, as far as we are concerned, we have not abandoned that charge (100 per cent implementation)."
It was learnt that some federal lawmakers are moving to take advantage of Jonathan's appearance to demand explanations for terrorist activities and related cases of insecurity recorded in parts of Nigeria.
In June, the House had, through a resolution, invited Jonathan to appear before a closed session to brief federal lawmakers on the state of security in the country - a move that triggered varied reactions in support and dissent over the propriety of the invitation.
Jonathan is yet to honour the invitation.

The Eastern Province Rugby Referees Society will return to adjudicating Eastern Province Rugby Union club matches with immediate effect, after the EPRU cancelled all club games last weekend over the poor treatment of referees.
Eastern Province Rugby Union President, Cheeky Watson, confirmed that he had met with the referees last week to address their concerns.
EP Rugby CEO Anele Pamba has resigned from his position with immediate effect, leaving President Cheeky Watson in "shock".
South African Rugby officials have confirmed that the Southern Kings will play Super Rugby and that the Lions will sit it out for the 2013 Super Rugby season.
