Roger Ailes Fights Back: CNN 'Out of News Business'; Megyn Kelly Critics 'Jealous'; Dismisses New Book (Q&A)
Fox's news czar tells THR about his goal to launch a new network with Bill O'Reilly, the real reason Alec Baldwin was fired and why Jeff Zucker's strategy is no cause for concern: "I guess he's going to do whales a lot. If I were Discovery, I'd be worried."
What's your relationship like with Rupert Murdoch?
It's very good. He's not in town today, but the door could open. He wanders in and ruins my schedule and just wants to talk. He calls once every day or two usually just to gossip and catch up on the news. We've hit our numbers for 16 straight years. I don't have a lot of issues related to the business side because I tend to deliver what I promise to deliver. I think that's the way it is with Rupert. If you deliver money, you do fine.
Has your job changed at all since the split with News Corp?
No, not really. The print stuff sort of went over into a new company, [but] I had a meeting with Gerry Baker of The Wall Street Journal. We are working on some ideas for the business channel. We come to work in the same offices every day, and I guess they do, too. It hasn't changed anything that I have to do.

How long will Bill O'Reilly continue his show?
You can never tell. If you go back pretty far to Steve Allen and Jack Paar, they had a very short life span. Mike Wallace did it for 40 years. It's a very individual thing. I think Bill can last as long as he wants because he's driven by organic energy. He likes money, but he's not doing it for the money. He probably likes power, but he's not doing it for the power. He's driven by things that he sees that are not right from his point of view. If his ratings were to go way down, or if he thought he'd burned out or didn't have anything else to say, those are reasons to retire, but he is still killing everybody in the ratings.
Do you have any interest to work with Bill on other projects, like the assassination histories he's done with National Geographic?
I do. I would like News Corp to form a history channel and let Bill work with me. I'd run it for him because I'd like history done correctly for a change. They're not teaching the kids the real stuff. I think there is room for another channel, and I would love to do it.
Why bring back Sarah Palin just a few months after not renewing her contract?
The only two people I knew who got worse press than her were Richard Nixon and George W. Bush -- some of it unfairly, much of it unfair to her family. She's recognizable, she's attractive, and she still has the message of stop raising taxes. The Tea Party started as a group that [the government] could make go home to bake meatloaf at any point in the last three years by simply doing two things: Stop raising taxes and stop stealing their money. Congress can't stop spending money. I'm not a defender of everything she says. I don't hear everything she says. But I know she represents a certain group of people who rose up against their own party, which you rarely see. I probably hired her back, if you really want to get to the bottom of it, to give her a chance to say her piece and piss off the people that wanted her dead.
STORY: CNBC Loses Maria Bartiromo to Fox, But Who's Really Winning the Business Networks' War?
Did you approach Elisabeth Hasselbeck with any opportunities besides joining Fox & Friends?
It was always Fox & Friends only because it seemed so natural. Getting the right comfort level for the on-air talent is critical in the morning. She was in a tough spot on The View. She always came to play and always had a smile on her face, and that's critical in morning television. I knew she would work well here. It was a matter of just convincing her to come over.
Is there room for cable news to be a bigger player in the morning-show wars with Today and Good Morning America?
I think that Fox & Friends' audience is going to increase. That franchise in the morning is very important to any television operation because they make money. It's basically three people in three chairs. The rest of it is, how good is your producer?
Is building Fox's web presence a priority?
I was a little slow to it, I think, because it wasn't my natural medium. I probably should have spent money six months or a year earlier to bring in more people. It's a very intense business. You don't get as much money, so you don't make as much money, so you can't spend as much money.
What has having a teenager at home taught you about how younger people are consuming media?
The television set means nothing to him, other than he can get Netflix and a movie he wants. … A major sporting event, maybe, but there's no, "It's 8 o'clock -- time to watch something!" And that generation has taught themselves to watch movies on a telephone. I find that annoying and too small.
Does the move away from TV concern you?
The real concern I have is the fragmentation. Twitter is a wonderful device. And I call it a device, but there are people that are addicted to it now. That's not good. You're really not very interesting using only so many letters. If you're in the four-letter category for Scrabble, it's a long damn game. I don't have the problem with it that a lot of older people do, but I worry that digital media has become too much of their life.
You're the subject of an unauthorized book, for which you declined to participate. Are you doing anything to counteract any negative elements?
Bette Davis said -- I think it was Bette Davis -- "What other people think of me is none of my business." Attacking me and Fox News is nothing new -- it's a cottage industry. What's new is that Random House refused to fact check the content with me or Fox News; that tells you everything you need to know about this book and its agenda.
Being 20 years out from the political career, do you ever miss it?
No. Nobody asked me, but I hated it then. I got into it by a fluke. I was good at it. I made a lot of money at it. But you know what happens when you have staff? You feel guilty. I ended up staying in the business years beyond what I wanted because I didn't want to fire anybody. One night, I was snowed in at O'Hare airport [in Chicago] with a soldier and an old guy pushing a broom. My whole staff was home in bed, and I was stuck at the airport for two days. I just decided to hell with it.
Do you think about retiring?
Yeah, every 15 minutes. I've never wanted my kid faced with the idea of, "Who's the fat guy sitting in the living room? What the hell is he doing?" I figure I might as well go to work so he can say his dad works. I will someday. But I won't quit stirring things up. I saw [CBS Corp. chairman and CEO Leslie] Moonves one night in a restaurant with my old friend [former Sirius XM Radio CEO] Mel Karmazin. They came over to my table and said: "We got a pool on you, Ailes. It's up to a million dollars. Everybody wants to know when you're going to die or retire because you're killing us." I said, "As long as I'm doing that, I'm going to keep working, boys." I have a good relationship with all those guys, but they would like to see me retire.

ORONO, Maine – Ronald Harvey won two sprint events, but the University of New Hampshire men's indoor track and field team was defeated by the University of Maine, 100-80, last weekend in the Wildcats' season opener.
Harvey opened with a victory in the 60-yard dash (6.55 seconds) and also beat the 200-meter field with a time of 23.13 seconds. UNH won three other individual events, including David Ball (Orange, Vt.) in the high jump with a height of 6-feet, seven inches and William Field (Rochester, N.H.) in the triple jump with a distance of 44-5.
Taylor Scull (Bedford, N.H.) was first to cross the finish line in the 400m (49.97) and also ran the first leg of the winning relay team in the 4x400. Jon Vandale (Shelburne Falls, Mass.), Andrew Bessolo and Craig Lange (Manchester, N.H.) completed the quartet. Vandale and Bessolo finished second and third, respectively, in the 400m dash.
John Landerbe (South Hampton, Mass.) had a solid weekend with a second-place finish in the 200m and third place in the 60-yard dash. Three other Wildcats earned runner-up honors on the track, as Tim Perry (Bethel, Conn.) was second in the mile, Joshua Turner (Rochester, N.H.) did the same in the 500m and Brandon Williams (Hooksett, N.H.) competed in the 1000m.
Matthew Barry (Atlanta, Ga.) had UNH's other second-place finish with his effort in the pole vault.
UNH returns to action Jan. 9 (1 p.m.) at the University of Rhode Island. The home opener is Jan. 24 (12 p.m.) against Holy Cross and Quinnipiac.

text: Nearly all of the world's nations come together to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The deal is simple--the nuclear weapon states vow to help the treaty's non-nuclear weapon signatories develop nuclear power if they promise to forego producing nuclear weapons. The nuclear weapon states also pledge to abolish their own arsenals when political conditions allow for it. Although Israel, India, and Pakistan refuse to sign the treaty, the Bulletin is cautiously optimistic: "The great powers have made the first step. They must proceed without delay to the next one--the dismantling, gradually, of their own oversized military establishments."

A member of the Free Syrian Army gestures while on patrol in Aleppo's Bustan Al Qaser district January 2, 2013. (REUTERS/Muzaffar Salman)
BEIRUT: A journalist working for Syria's pro-regime Dunya TV was shot dead on Friday while reporting on clashes in a regime-controlled area in the northern city of Aleppo, the channel said on its website.
Dunya TV said it had received news of "the death of our colleague Sohail Mahmud Ali by terrorist bullets," without giving further details.
Scores of state media workers have been killed during the Syrian conflict, both in combat reporting and in targeted killings.
At least 17 professional journalists, both foreign and Syrian, and 44 citizen journalists have died reporting on one of the deadliest wars for the media in recent years, according to figures from media watchdog Reporters Without Borders.
On December 4, a reporter for government newspaper Tishrin was shot dead in Damascus while a state television cameraman was gunned down outside his home in the capital on December 22.
Dozens of other state media journalists have defected to the opposition since the uprising erupted in March last year, with most quietly leaving the country for exile in Turkey, Jordan or Lebanon.
For those who continue to work in the headquarters of state television and radio in central Damascus, the threat of kidnap and murder is constant.

Alternative foundation
Hi all,
I am starting a build here in Copenhagen, Denmark. I have seen a guy do an alternative foundation and was hoping to get some feedback on it. See the image below from a danish blog:
Would this be a good alternative to a concrete foundation slab? I believe this guy dug 18 inches into the ground which is half of the "normal" danish rule of thumb that you need to be 36 inches underground to be frost-free.
This approach seems easier to me, but I haven't seen it elsewhere. Is it structurally safe? Any other thoughts and comments?
Thanks in advance,
Re: Alternative foundation
I can tell you what the conventional wisdom is, which you probably already know. Build on a slab on well drained crushed rock, and you're unlikely to have frost heave issues. (no water accumulation, no frost) If you're building a two story masonry chimney, you'll need proper footings, below the frost line, and protruding six inches (150mm) beyond the exterior of the structure. Anything halfway in between, like the thing you've illustrated, or some tubes of concrete sticking down from the slab, is likely to be self defeating. Such subsoil structures just give the ice lenses something to grab on to.
The "frost protected shallow foundation" is another approach. This uses insulation to use ground heat to protect your structure. I don't know any oven builders who have tried this.
Re: Alternative foundation
"This approach seems easier to me, but I haven't seen it elsewhere. "
I doesn't seem easier to me. There is nothing simpler to build than a reinforced concrete slab. The slab is structurally a better choice since it will "float" as one unit if there is any settlement or heaving. Differential movement with the type of foundation you have shown will likely lead to cracking or even failure of your suspended slab.
I disagree somewhat with dmun re the concrete pier approach. Piers set down below the frost line with even a bit of belling at the bottom will not be jacked by frost heaving. I have had no movement at all with mine and mine is built on frost sucepetable soils.
Re: Alternative foundation
They even make a form for doing this properly:
However, this is ancillary to the original question. There are only a few special situations where anything more than a slab on well drained crushed stone in needed. It's the easiest, and the best.
Re: Alternative foundation
Thanks for your reply. I have decided to go with a traditional foundation slab. Excavation for it started this weekend. See more at http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f8/d...ild-12774.html

(PRWEB) January 22, 2013
Vehicle to vehicle communication will transform automotive safety, enabling deployment of effective active safety features for mass market adoption. This offers a huge business opportunity for the telematics, automaker and ITS communities as there is a chance to provide the technology and strategies to deploy this technology on European roads. The V2X for Auto Safety and Mobility Conference is the first opportunity for key stakeholders to come together to learn, debate and build new relations that will be fundamental to the monetization of this new tech. The expert speaker line-up includes BMW, Renault, SCANIA, European Commission, ITS UK and many other V2X thought-leaders.
Shreya Ganapathy, Project Director for Telematics Update, stresses how fundamental this opportunity for these communities to converge really is. "To get this technology off the ground the ecosystem - government, automakers, telematics providers, tier ones and road operators - must communicate to find standards for interoperability and share results from FOTs (field operation tests). The proposed NHTSA mandate in the U.S. is already having an impact. European players have been spurred into action. Never before has the entire ecosystem needed to come together and this conference will bring all the research and testing that's out there under one roof."
The V2X for Auto Safety & Mobility Conference (20-21 February, Le Meridien Park Hotel, Frankfurt, Germany) has an independently researched agenda and will focus on the following topics:
The following experts are confirmed to share their knowledge on this emerging sector.
The complimentary conference brochure, including full agenda and speaker line-up has been released by Telematics Update. It is available to download via the website: http://www.telematicsupdate.com/vehicle-to-vehicle-conference-europe/conference-event-brochure.php
Registration is open but Telematics Update has advised that bookings are made as soon as possible to take advantage of the early booking discount (available until Friday 25th January). Registration can be made via the website: https://secure.telematicsupdate.com/vehicle-to-vehicle-conference-europe/register.php

"The designer of the card was great. They reworked the spacing because my information was a lot more than the sample. They were really able to make the card feel like it was made for my wedding"
"The invitation came out great. On the backside of the invite, I chose the red/maroon color with hotel accommodations listed. In the picture the red/maroon did not look like it matched the blossoms on the front too well. When I received it, the colors matched perfectly!! i have had so many comments about how simple, but beautiful the invite is!"
"I ordered these in the color "aloe". They look so beautiful in person! They have a pearl finish, which you can't see on the computer, but it adds such an extra element of class. I redesigned the back of the RSVP cards so that they were largely the aloe color instead of so much black, and they made the changes for me quickly and so beautifully! Very easy process, with a stunning end result."
"These cards are great - simple and elegant. They arrived super quickly and the customer service / designer that assisted us was fantastic. The process was smooth and effortless."
"This invitation was exactly what we were looking for! It has our wedding colors on it. I love how you can personalize it with whatever font you like. We ordered it on the shimmery paper and loved the turnout. Can't wait to get them ready and send them out! Thank you Wedding Paper Divas! They are beautiful."

Blair: I'm standing you up.
4. Netflix queues are the new handkerchiefs
Dorota: Your new secrecy, calmness with Mr. Chuck, supporting Miss Serena's new boyfriend — and last week I find Nova documentary in your Netflix queue!
Blair: What are you doing in my queue?
Dorota: You and Lonely Boy are having affair!
3. Bonding, Dair-style
Dan: All we have to do is tell everyone that we've been hanging out. It's not going to be a big deal unless we keep making it a big deal.
Blair: Which it totally isn't. We should soften the ground. Put out an anonymous post on Gossip Girl saying that some big secret is going to come out at Chuck's party tonight. That way everyone will assume that some earth-shattering, huge scandal is imminent, like...
Dan: You getting traded for a hotel?
Blair: Or you raising Georgina's baby by a Russian mobster.
2. Lily's already talking like a con
Lily: Just promise me one thing. Before Thorpe leaves here tonight, tell that son of a bitch where he can stick it.
1. Blair thinks Dan thinks of nothing but Brooklyn
Dan: I've been walking around the city all night with one all-consuming, paralyzing thought...
Blair: Why am I walking around the city all night when I live in Brooklyn?

SHERR's MISSION- Safe Haven Equine Rescue & Retirement is a 501(c)3 non profit that was founded to rescue horses in need of food, shelter, and medical attention due to neglect or abuse in an effort to improve their quality of life. Further more, SHERR will provide a place or assist in finding a place of retirement for older horses that are unable to perform the tasks intended for them.
Our Philosophy - Our philosophy is based on the belief that since we domesticated horses,we must take full responsibility for their life. SHERR's goal is to find permanent placement with responsible loving adoptive homes for horses as companion riding mounts and retired pets. All of them need a home, a sanctuary.
Blind Horse headed to death –SHERR saves her.
A desperate call came into SHERR for help with a blind horse after the owner had been told by other equine rescues and a national equine rescue to euthanize her because "no one wants a blind horse". SHERR, stepped in to save her.
SHERR (Safe Haven Equine Rescue & Retirement) steps up to save a beautiful but completely blind horse from euthanasia. The owner was losing her farm and had three horses including, Sugar Foot, the blind horse. She was able to find a boarding facility for the other two but no one would take Sugar Foot due to her blindness. She contacted several equine rescue groups only to be told to euthanize the horse because no one would want a blind horse. Someone told her about SHERR and we received her desperate call for help.
SHERR immediately went into action to get the horse to their facility. Gin Wiltsey, director of SHERR said "although we have never had a blind horse in our program, there was no way we were not going to help Sugar Foot". Sugar Foot was soon on her way to her new home at SHERR.
Sugar Foot received a prompt examination from the Vet and was diagnosed with Equine Recurrent Uveitis, which will require continued treatment and future surgery. A cure for ERU is not known but veterinarians have learned how to best control this devastating disease and are continuously working to unravel new treatment options.
If you would like to help with Sugar Foot's medical expenses you may do so by a tax deductible donation
or US Mail: SHERR NC PO Box 5228, High Point, NC 27262
Volunteers are in integral part of the SHERR NC. They come from many backgrounds and experiences, but all share a desire to help the forgotten horses. Duties range from office work to horse training. There is a job for everyone at the SHERR NC!
SHERR NC believes there is room for anyone interested in volunteering their time, whether a few hours a year or many hours a week. From grooming horses, fundraising or in a leadership role, we want volunteers to feel welcome and to work in their area of interest.
SHERR's Goals
SHERR's Goals -
To educate horse-owners and the public about proper equine care, and the problems of neglect and abuse.
Working within the bounds of the law to rescue horses from neglectful or abusive owners.
To rehabilitate sick, underweight and abused equines and restore them to a state of good health.
To end the suffering of those equines which cannot be rehabilitated by means of humane euthanasia.

Good for him! And good for the School Board!
He has paid his dues...he has turned his life around---I hope this decision stands for the future (for any other trips he would like to chaperone).
Interesting note..the Garber "G" is the same as the Green Bay Packers "G"....coincidence?
Not our family recipe...but we do love Lebkuchen!! Using my great grandma's recipe--handed down.
And last until August? How??? We're lucky if our batch makes it through January! LOVE them with hot chocolate for breakfast!
Thank you Zachary for the clarification!
Maybe it's easier to understand this example:
A school district has $1 to spend....in 2011, $.50 of that went toward the FEDERALLY MANDATED Special Education programs-leaving $.50 for General Ed. In 2012, the Special Education Program will cost $.75 to run, leaving only $.25 of that $1 for General Ed.
With the millage, the school district would now have funding for the Special Education programs-leaving the $1 for General Ed.
Not a shell game when the services are required, necessary AND beneficial!
Deanosdragons....Federally mandated DOES NOT EQUAL federally funded.
Federally mandated means the government requires the programs be provided but the school district is responsible for funding the program(s).
A shell game? A scam? Seriously? The funds raised by this millage are earmarked and required by law to go toward Special Education funding.

'Lie to Me': Police, terror cells, and a touch of '24'
This week's "Lie to Me" seemed to take a page from the "24" playbook (minus the torture), with cops as suspects, FBI agents, CIA informers, and a rumored terrorist plot. But it all started like a good, old-fashioned crime procedural.
Some muscle relaxers will make the spoilers seem more convincing...
Two D.C. cops, working undercover, end up chasing a drug dealer through two buildings and onto a rooftop, where they find a different young man, Andre Ricks. As he takes his hand out of his pocket, one cop, Adam Duke, thinks Andre's got a gun, so he shoots twice, and Andre falls from the roof to the ground several stories below. Cal's summoned by the mayor's office as protesters rail against police violence. Cal can tell that Duke is telling the truth, but the other cop, Eric Katanski, seems agitated, highly emotional, and possibly suffering from PTSD.
But Cal and Gillian can't tell -- so they check out tapes of Duke and Katanski interrogating suspects. Meanwhile, Andre's in the hospital with two gunshot wounds and a broken back, and his father maintains that he's never held a gun -- a claim undercut by his younger son, who explains that Andre got a gun because he's been getting jumped by gangs. Then Cal's hauled off to FBI headquarters, where he learns that Katanski's been working undercover because they suspect the police department has been infiltrated by a small number of individuals linked to al Qaeda and planning an attack. They think Duke's one of the sleepers. And while the agents refuse to tell Cal any details, Katanski insists the shoot was good -- and he's lying.
Cal and Gillian disagree about whether to take the story seriously -- Gillian wants to stop pushing, because if an attack is being planned, she doesn't want to be in the middle of it. "National security is their favorite boogeyman," Can sniffs, not buying it. He's convinced that you can't take the government at their word, and that Andre needs to be protected. Back at the office, Ria has a photo, supplied by the police, of Andre robbing a store. But it's been photoshopped to set him up.
And now things get fun. Cal goes to see his source at the CIA -- his very own Deep Throat!! (but not a garage freak) -- to try to suss out the truth of the story. And his CIA source confirms that it's real -- there's a threat, and Cal should stay far away from this one. Back at the hospital, Andre swears that even though he did own a gun, all he had on him that night was a cell phone and cigarettes. Eventually, they realize that Duke's not the sleeper, and they bring in Karanski for questioning.
Karanski's furious when Cal alleges that he's the kind of spy that spreads bad information. It turns out that Karanski's on a vendetta -- his daughter was killed under mysterious friendly fire circumstances while serving in Iraq, and the government lied about what she was doing and how she died. He wants to get back at the people who he thinks killed his daughter -- and he told the FBI about four more alleged sleepers. The plot here feels really murky to me, but in the end, Andre's going to recover and Karanski's arrested.
Not only is this solved, but we more or less get closure on two other major ongoing storylines. First, Cal and Gillian announce to their employees that the firm is being sued by the banker whose daughter ran a ponzi scheme with their investors' money, because of the way the deal with the SEC blew up. Lawyers will be coming to question everyone, so cooperate, they say. Eli snags Ria and gives her a little pep talk -- complete with muscle relaxers -- about how to lie to the lawyers. She's rightfully angry, doubly so when Eli tries to feed her a line about how if he's found out it could reflect badly on Lightman, and she tells him to stuff it. We also learn that Ria's started dating the cute Secret Service agent from the Korean wedding (Sean Patrick Thomas), who's appalled that her colleague would drag her into this mess.
As Ria sits down to give her deposition, learning that it won't be under oath and knowing that Lightman will surely see her tape, it occurs to me that it would be just like Cal to set up the whole scheme just to smoke out who was responsible for the deal blowing up. Which of course is exactly right -- or at least partly. After Eli's testy deposition and a good talking to from the Secret Service agent, Eli confesses to Cal that he was the one who blew up the deal with the SEC. Cal knew, of course, and says he set all of this up to test Ria, to see if she'd be loyal. She passed with flying colors, but Eli's behavior was inexcusable. And while he's not being fired, if he wants to stay on he'll do it as an unpaid intern. Ouch.
We also get to the bottom of the situation with Gillian and her husband, Alec. Cal confronts Alec on the street with a blonde woman, who he later spots in the office talking to Gillian. Turns out that the woman, Christine, is Alec's sponsor -- he used to have a cocaine problem, and he recently started using again (Isn't your sponsor supposed to be the same gender as you, or have I seen too many movies that talk about this?). She figures out that Cal thought Alec was having an affair, and he confesses he was worried she would get hurt. "You were protecting me?" she asks, looking genuinely touched. Then she essentially tells Cal to back off, that it's best for both of them if they respect the line about personal lives that they've drawn. It feels like an anticlimactic resolution to me, but as always, the bond between Cal and Gillian is touching and feels real.
What did you think? Did the FBI/terrorist plot lie story make sense to you? Do you think Eli's punishment was appropriate? Do you believe the story about Alec?

I have a few parts that I would like to get rid of and will give them to any fellow pilot who will pay for the packing and shipping. What I have are;
Four O-200 valve covers- used but still useable
Two O-200 through bolts- also used
Lower cowl for early model 150's- no nose bowl attached
Nose bowl- cracked and repaired but might be good for parts
Oil filter pad cover for an O-200A
Pilot side plastic instrument cover- used but not cracked
Plastic door panels- used and dirty but not cracked
I may have a few other small items that I have saved from the total refurbish I am doing on my 150 and I could probably make a few bucks from this stuff but I know how hard it is to run down small parts so I will give them to anyone who can use them.
I also have four used cylinders but I don't think they would be worth the shipping costs to be used as cores. They still have valves and springs in them but I reused the rocker arms.

Living 2 Lives: one on an F650 and the other in the real world
You tell yourself you will make the trip happen but you need to do this or that. You give yourself a couple years, then a couple more, then your wife realizes it might never happen, and she tells you to get off your butt and make it happen. So you like your job and the schedule and you try to make it work. You tell your company its time to find a replacement for you. Maybe by next summer. Meanwhile, you happen to get two weeks off and you plan to fly to the Phillipines and laze on the beach. Typhoon Haiyan happens. You cancel your flights. Your wife tells to you to start the trip now.
And so it begins. Living two lives: one on an F650 and the other in the real world. By real world I mean the working world. Thats right were going to travel and work and fly back and forth to our bike. The wife says, Work is just what you do between rides. I dont know where she gets this stuff but I sure am lucky.
The wife a few years ago with our friend Coco. Thats me on the far left.
This is me on the bike about the embark on a cross-country trip after buying the bike 5 months before and getting my license 3 months before.
Adding last minute farkles on the 2003 F650gs:
Enduristan Sandstorm 2 tank bag
Extra large tool tubes
Another old milk crate
Laminar lip
And this is how she looks now.
So we live in Mississippis gulf coast and its Thanksgiving Day and I have 14 days off but a cold front has moved in and the high is in the low 50s and the low is in the mid 30s and what do we do? I finish packing the bike and the wife says to head for New Orleans, only 90 minutes away for the evening. Its 3:45pm and it gets dark at 5pm. Its cold and we leave. Happy turkey day! We are so on the fly that we dont even take a departing shot or record the mileage on the odometer. Before we know it, were pulling in front of the Queen and Crescent Hotel in the CBD a couple blocks from the French Quarter and Domenicas our go-to pizza place (happened to be ranked as one of the top Italian restaurants in the States by USA Today, but who cares, right?). My fingers and frozen, and I need to warm up but the room is good and we just booked it a couple hours ago on hotels.com and they have secure (locked gate) parking ($32 for cars, and bargained it down to half price, and then they didnt even charge me in the morning!)
This was as close as we got to cranberry sauce
Proscuitto pizza with arugula and roasted cauliflower with whipped feta. Sounds funky but it is the bomb.
Domenicas is attached to the Roosevelt and it was spruced up for the holiday season. And our motorcycle jacket liners really didnt make us stand out amongst the other clientele.
After dinner went to see how busy Bourbon Street was. Verdict: steady business on Thanksgiving. We stopped at Lafittes Blacksmith and met a couple from Houston and ended up hanging out and enjoying music at Fritzels our favorite jazz bar.

day 2 to Houston day 3 to Hidalgo, Tx
It was such a good time the night before that we woke up late hungover! Yeah, probably needed to drink more water before passing out but so it goes. It was 10am and we were struggling to get packed up for the road. It was a 6-hour ride to Houston! And even though it was sunny and 5 degrees warmer, it was still pretty cold out.
Stopped for delicious lunch at McDonalds. I know she looks like she is blowing her nose but she isnt. She is stuffing her face with the BBQ Ranch sandwich that has Fritos in it. I kid you not.
Back on the road in the cold.
Crossing the Mississippi at Baton Rouge.
It didnt take long for us to realize we hadnt developed our iron butts yet. Every 80-100 miles we had to get out of the saddle.
Finally made it to Houston at 7pm. Sam Houston Parkway? Its expensive! Every couple miles I had to stop and pull out $1.75. I pulled off and took the libre road. We stayed with my friends Michaels parents. Michael was kneeling next to Coco in the first photo above. Here he is with me and my brother (who was kneeling next to my wife in the photo with Coco) from back in the day. Lets say circa 1975.

day 3 to Hidalgo
Day 3 begins with Dennys breakfast and hitting the road to Reynosa border.
Dennys breakfasts put me to sleep. I had a burger.
Temps hit 77F! We shed thermals and rejoice!
Went to Super 8 in Hidalgo, on the Reynosa border. Online was $80 and the desk wanted to charge $90. We whipped out the phone and charged it online. I know the websites get a commission and the deskclerk has no authority to discount the rate, but it seems to me ridiculous. This happens everyday for the next few days. Hidalgo, btw, looks like Mexico with the taco stands in a dirt or limerock parking lot. We loved it! But we had Subways instead because the wife wanted gringo food one last time.

day 4 Monterrey, MX
The next morning we made the quick 10 minute drive to the Hidalgo-Reynosa border. I had ordered the Temporary Vehicle Importation Permit and received it a couple weeks ago via DHL. I highly recommend this to anyone who can. I googled it. Our target was modest: negotiate the border, get cash, make it to Monterrey, only 3 hours away.
The border crossing.
Just keep going straight instead of stopping at the parking lot at the right just over the bridge ($3 bridge toll, too). The town is on the right but if you keep going straight with the exiting traffic directly on your left you will make it to a large parking lot and building for getting visas, paying the bank, and getting your TVIP you should have gotten online. They even have a dude you can pay for copies there. We made the mistake of stopping and asking the pedestrian customs area and they had a helper walk us with our bike gear to the building. Very nice, but when I asked if we could just ride our bikes, he said, better for exercise. Halfway there, he said he wanted a tip, maybe something for a coffee. Thanks, buddy! Anyways, no harm no foul. He wanted to help fill out our visa forms but I just gave him 12pesos and he left. Paid 295pesos for each visa and walked back to the bikes a sweaty mess. Sure beats freezing!
Paying for visas. Wow, no line.
Heading to Monterrey on the libre road.
Wifes selfie. She doesnt do this normally, but does it count if it isnt for faceb**k?
This is what she stares at sometimes. I forget how boring it must be for pillions.
And other times she says, Pull over, the luggage is falling off. My homemade Pelican case luggage needed some loctite which I had brought for this purpose. I had forseen this happening.
Quickfix. I had brought the necessary washers and loctite.
We made it to smoggy Monterrey around 2:30 pm. I had checked out iStay Hotel which was around $50 online and stopped there. I asked the desk clerk how much for doble and he says 800pesos. I say it was cheaper online, and he shrugs. So I go back to the curbside and what do you know? They have unsecure wifi for their restaurant. Awesome. Booked via the internet and went back to the front this time and said I just booked it. He looked at me and said it would take an hour for them to receive it. What? Well, we had to put the bike somewhere so the security guard was kind enough to let us park it under the their camera. We took our stuff off the bike that we needed and prepared to have lunch somewhere. Wife decides to ask the deskminion to check to see if the reservation was there, and sure enough, it was! Imagine that! The iStay is the right price and has secure parking in the downtown area near all the action so I recommend it for your stay.
In the crowded pedestrian zone, dressed ballroom dancers invited others to dance with them.
Cool architecture. Monterrey has some interesting buildings. It is the third largest city in Mexico, with over 3 million people, but according to a guidebook I read it has the highest per capita income. It shows. This is not the Mexico we know from our Baja trips. It is great. It is definitely worth a stop to check out. Did I mention we live in Mississippi on the gulf coast?
They had an iceskating rink set up.
The guidebook recommended cabrito, roasted baby goat. And it recommended El Rey del Cabrito. So we went. It is good. But we are more street side tacos in Ensenada type of people.
Why does your husband make that face all the time? Thats just how he looks.
Its because there are goofy decorations that make no sense here.
We got the mixed plate. Half beef and half goat. I hope it comes from 2 separate animals and not la chupacabre. It was good but not nearly the size of the other patrons goat only plates.
The table next to us had a mountain of beef to share and each had a plate of goat.
They do make a tasty margarita! Congratulatory drink for beating the cold and making to Mexico!
After dinner we strolled about in the Barrio Antigua. Not much happening but reminds me of old colonial towns like Merida and Antigua. The Zona Rosa is definitely where the business is thriving.
More cool architecture near the museums.
Free entry to three of their museums tonight. We took advantage and used the restrooms.
The wife was not full off our goat-tastic meal and wanted some antojitos so we went here for some tostadas. It was bland, I am sorry to say. I post for your future avoidance.
Monterrey is worth a stopover. There, Ive said it.

Day 5 to Real de Catorce
We had decided to head towards Mazatlan but not being iron butters yet we figured we would stop somewhere before Durango. Well, the night before we had decided on Zacatecas, but had read Lonestars report on Real de Catorce. I was hesitant because of our heavy weight, compressed suspension on a lowered bike, and the risk of rattling off other non-loctited bolts. But in the morning I announced we would head to Real, 18-mile cobblestone road be d*mned! Besides it was 5 hours away.
Morning ride out of Monterrey.
Truck lunch stop. Great places to stop for meals are where other long haulers stop. It was cafeteria style and tasty and good value.
This is pork in red sauce is unbelievable. It isnt mole.
This was all right.
Goats and other animals grazing by the highway. This is why you dont drive at night!
The wife is telling me how she feels about me not being able to understand her through our comm system.
She is so pleased she was able to turn around and get a bottle of Pepsi from the milk crate.
We filled up before Real de Catorce and I tightened up the sagging tool tubes to keep them off the chain guard and rear brake. I had anticipated this happening. I bought 24 zip ties for less than $2 at Harbor Freight. Love that place.
Real de Catorce is at around 9000 ft and there is an 18-mile polished slipper cobblestone road to get there. Lonestar described it great in his ride report.
And this is on a lowered bike with low seat.
There is a 1.5-mile tunnel to Real. You, the tourist, have to pay 20 pesos, my friend.
More cobblestoned road but now with hills, yikes!
I didnt want to hit the hills, but I had to make a loop. The wife got off first. She has realistic expectations at my skills on polished cobblestones and hills. I ended up parking on the flat, and walking up hill to El Real Hotel.
Yep, same story as the last two nights. $50 online price. Went to the door and she wanted $90. I went back to the bike and hitched a ride on the free-wifi express gravy train and booked it online. Went back in and she gave me the price if we would pay cash. Why do we have to do this dance, if youre going to give me my price in the end?
The owner was discovered and used for the movie The Mexican which was filmed in Real de Catorce. He has since been used as an extra in other films.
I came down that hill?
Real de Catorce is really a pilgrimage site for its church. It was also a silver mining town with a population of up to 40,000 but it only has 1500 now.
Hey, I can see my bike from here!
It is probably not socially acceptable to be drinking in public like this.
A parade of sorts that you see in Latin America.
Dinnertime, in Real de Catorce when there are no tourists is a bit limited. But we wanted cheap local eats and this place looked inviting.
Chicharron gordita. That is, greasy pig skin. Yum!
Real at night.
Real de Catorce is an interesting place. Lonestars ride report made us want to come here and Im glad we did. But after a night it was good to go. The tile floor in our room was freezing!

In! I'm guessing you guys are going to stash the bike at some point, fly home and work until your next vacation and then go back and continue the ride? Interesting. Congrats on finding a way to make your ride happen sooner rather than way later! Looking forward to the next episode!

Day 6 to Zacatecas 191 miles
This is Lonestar's awesome ride report on Real de Catorce.
It is amazing how heavy wool blankets can keep you warm. The tile floor was still popsicle-like in the morning, and the church bell klanged away waking the town up. There were not too many cars starting up but we heard the rattle of loose windows panes on house doors being open and shut. We got loaded up and left a little before 9am after the wife had her morning coffee at the Cafe Azul nextdoor. I just went back down the same oneway cobblestone road I had come on. It was the wrong direction, but there was no other automotive traffic this early.
No incidences riding out on to the main road. I averaged around 23mph out of there so it took about an hour. I did notice that the back milkcrate was a little noisier than usual but maybe that was because I was going faster. More on that later.
Had lunch here right before a couple buses pulled up. Another good value meal for 60pesos each. On second thought, are we getting ripped off?
After the requisite hour lunch we made it Zacatecas around 2pm. It shouldn't be taking us this long to ride, should it? Well, take a couple hours away and it seems okay I guess.
Zacatecas -- what can I say? Another silver mining town, but much larger and richer than Real. Apparently at one time it supplied a fifth of Spain's silver. There are enough grand churches to show it too. Built between two hills, it has European look with baroque architecture and evening lighting to accent it, and nice squares, but also an old Mexico look with stucco walls and flat roofs. We loved it. Why this place isn't over run with tourists is beyond us. In fact, except for the Spanish-speaking backpacker girls we saw in Real, we haven't seen any other foreign tourists at all, as far as we could tell, anyways. It is nice having the whole place to ourselves.
We booked a room at the Hotel Mision Argento in the middle of Zacatecas, and not too far from the highway. It had secure parking, free breakfast, and was $50/night. The wife wants to stay in hostels and we can, but I like secure parking and good value and if a private room ensuite in a hostel is $40, I don't mind spending $10 more for a better value. We did walk by the Hostal Villa Colonial and it was dead. We liked Zacatecas so much (as well as the hotel) we stayed for two nights. The wife had some homework to submit for online classes, and I wanted to do some blogging (flicker and advrider) and bike maintenance.
love the street food in Mexico
the Wife finds some spicy mango candy that she has been craving
ate here for antojitos. we had some tacos which were good but not fantastic.
gorditas con leche for the wife
We decided to stay a second day and went to bed after the karoeke bar outside our window shut down around 1am.

Day 7 Zacatecas 0 miles
A not so early wake up just so the wife can have her breakfast -- a surprisingly nice breakfast of fresh fruits and egg/quesadilla station, and hot food a la mexicana like chilaquilas which were soft and not very good. :(
We went to visit Eden, an old silver mine in town (80 pesos entry).
You enter at one end at the base of the hill and take a short train ride and see a museum of some geodes and crystals from all over the world, then embark on a walking tour with a guide. We had an English-speaking guide all to ourselves.
Megalodon tooth?
fossilized crawdad
crystals and geodes under uv light
our guide called these small bats but they looked to be at least a foot long.
silver vein
a vein of gold. the guide said that in a couple years it would be bigger. is this true? does the gold slowly flow like sap from a tree? lost in translation...
the mine filled up with water and the water goes down another 200 meters according to the guide.
there was, not surprisingly, a chapel in the mine and there were creepy drawings by kids. is it to thank the saint for taking care of their lost parent? i am not sure.
there was supposed to be a face in the blue light. it is Roque, a miner who had died. if you don't see his face, he may visit you at night. do you see it? it is interesting to see superstition and cultural beliefs as a foreigner. then you take that same perspective toward yourself and see we are all different flavors of ice cream at Baskin Robbins.
At the end of the tour we had the option to exit the way we came or take an elevator to an exit at the top of one of the hills. We took the elevator and took the cable car (40 pesos each) across Zacatecas to the other hill and walked back down.
The wife then did homework all day and I made an appointment with Carmen motors in Guadalajara to install Hyperpro front springs and rear shock that I had been carrying all this way. I had no idea it would be an extra 25-30lbs in the cases! I also wanted to check the tire pressures, oil, and tighten loose bolts. As it turns out, on of the rear rack bolts came loose on the ride down from Real. It was the same bolt I lost on a dirt road in Baja searching for cave paintings a few years ago that I also did not loctite. Serves me right. The rest of the afternoon and evening was spent looking for a hardware shop (ferreteria, incidentally not where ferrets can be found, but rather iron works) for a tire gauge (mine exploded on testing the tire pressure), and extra bolts. What a pain to find a place without an address and only a name. Tornillo Loco was all I knew and it was close to the KFC on the main boulevard in a general direction para via. Which boulevard, I did not know. Eventually I found it with only 10 minutes before closing. I didn't finish all my tasks until 8pm. The wife was hungry and places were closing.
our hotel lobby had a nice firepit!
We thought we had found some good value street food, which turned out to be disgusting. But we did get to listen to some street music clown show act with the audience playing karoeke while we ate.
tendon tostada? i love tendon. i love tostada. this was terrible.
We tried to find some other food to eat and ended up eating, McD. Embarrassing.
Zacatecas is great. Beautiful city. No tourists. just watchout for the tendon tostada. Tomorrow Durango!

I would love to do a trip like this, but am always concerned with the language barrier. How is you and your wife's Spanish and how much do you feel someone should know for this type of trip?

Don't let the language hinder you. For me it is part of the fun. Once you forget being embarrassed like in standing up in class, it gets easier. Go to Baja, it is magical.

Day 8 to Durango um, I mean Guadalajara 34 miles (on bike)
The day started well until the wife noticed liquid on her right boot. It was coolant. But I couldnt see a leak or hiss and the bike was running fine. I had filled up the coolant level before leaving on the trip so maybe it was just overflow. Hmm 15 minutes later the temperature warning light came on as we were passing through a sizeable town, Frensillo, on the way to Durango. I pulled over at an Oxxo. Of course, it was sunny and warm. And there was no shade for me to park at. No matter. I took off the left faux tank panel and the coolant level was still full and there was no sign of leak.
I figured it may be the water pump, which I had ordered from A&S before leaving but they did not ship because one item was on backorder. I, in fact, had received email confirmation from Fedex that it had been delivered, to our home in Mississippi, yesterday, while we were in Zacatecas awesome.
The closest BMW Motorrad according to their website was in Guadalajara, 5 hours south of us, in the opposite direction.
Should we stay the night and troubleshoot on advrider.com or the chaingang? Should we ride back slowly to Zacatecas and rent a truck or van one-way to Guadalajara? Should we hire someone to take us? We had three offers from passerbys and ended up taking a Chevy pickup truck and the bike down to Guadalajara.
It cost a pretty penny but it was a 5 hour drive one-way and they would have to drive back. The driver, Jorge, was the son of the owner of a towing company. He couldnt be more than 21. He brought his friend Jose along too. We drove straight, no stops. The wife and I watched a movie on the tablet and dozed in the heat (no a/c).
Like a big wet dog stuck in the truck bed, wanting to be let in the cab to be with us. Thats what I see anyways.
The wife had traded her motopants for some yoga pants but I still had my motopants on. Is this advriding? Is this like crossing a stream in a bongo in Sibirsky? No, to both. This was the easy way out but we were time short and didnt want to spend a few days here, troubleshooting and having someone mail us the part only to find out it wasnt the problem. More on that later.
Five hours later, we were dropped off at the Hotel Portobelo in the Centro of Guadalajara, Mexicos second largest city. My brother, Kevin, via texting on the wifes non-internetting phone, reserved a room here for $45. Well spent, it was the nicest hotel weve been in thus far. And a nice place to stay after a disappointing day. Thank you, Kevin.
The hotel is great, with secure parking, and right outside the entrance to the metro and a few blocks from the Cathedral.
We washed up and explored the town at night and went to listen to norteno music at a dance bar trying to drown out the sound of defeat.
The wifes first bike was a Lifan 150 scooter. She still misses it. She would rather take this bike.

While recent media attention has understandably focused on the widespread desire for political change, a new poll also reveals deep-seated anger with God's performance, with large majorities now favoring a change in the position of "Supreme Being."
The survey, conducted, appropriately enough, by the Pew Poll, reveals that by more than a two-to-one margin, Americans feel that the Universe is on the wrong track, there is no light at the end of the Black Hole, and that the Sun may not even come up tomorrow.
While most respondents still blame the Bush Administration for the invasion of Iraq and the mismangement of the war, an overwhelming 77% held God accountable for the sectarian strife between Sunni and Shia sects, deadly natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes, and the inability to buy a six-pack of Budweiser before noon on a Sunday.
A barely sober Christopher Hitchens, appearing on Charlie Rose, gloated that "I've been telling you that God is Not Great."
Reached for comment, God responded by saying, "Look, I've been doing this job for more than four billion, err… I mean six thousand years, so I don't think there's anyone else with enough experience to wreak havoc on the world, with the possible exception of John McCain."
Perhaps not surprisingly, a majority of poll respondents were also against the idea of Jesus succeeding the Holy Father, citing "Bush 43″ as an example of what can happen when a "son takes over."
Huge majorities were also receptive to the idea of term limits for God, with proposals ranging from "Two Millennia," to the more stringent "two-year terms" of U.S. Congressmen.
A spokesperson for Hillary Clinton denied that she was prepared to throw her hat into the ring. However, Bill Clinton was captured on YouTube telling a reporter that "this is the crack in the ultimate ceiling that Hillary and I have been waiting our whole lives for."
In anticipation of new elections for God, jockeying for position among the States has already started, with delegations from Iowa and New Hampshire asserting their time-honored right to go first with their caucuses or primaries. In contrast, small-town Pennsylvanians are making the case that those who are most bitter and cling to God, should also go first in voting for God.
There is also speculation that that agnostics and atheists, particularly those located in Florida and Michigan, will be granted, at best, only a 1/2 vote.
In addition, a proposal to utilize Diebold's election machinery is running into stiff resistance, for fear that the next God may end up being Pat Buchanan.
But in perhaps the ultimate sign of hunger for radical change at the top, a whopping 89% of respondents stated they were even willing to "take a chance" on a "Black God."

Shintaz/Patrick giving FB a bad name
Shintaz, Shitnaz, Patrick, or whatever you call yourself today, you and your teamstacking shitnerds are giving the Brigade a bad name.
While you rape and pillage in our name, you use the prettiest avatar, the Boomer avatar. This avatar was specially created for the most decent and honest man ever conceived by a Welsh hooker trying to earn some crack, [FB] Cook. You sully his good name!
Cease and desist, or we will send our lawyers. You've never even been FB, you're a retired TF2 noob, so why make us look bad?
First this and now you've made smoke come out of their server. Have you no sense of decency sir?
A word of advice to USK:
Ban the fucktards. All of them. You can find all these pricks and their STEAM_ID's in your logs, or on etf2l.org
Apparently the stackteam is already banned.
23:19 – Patrick: they crashed it to get rid of us
23:19 – Patrick: we know that
23:19 – Patrick: they know that
23:19 – Patrick: and it didnt work until we got banned
23:19 – Patrick: so change the news post
23:19 – Patrick: or at least get rid of the ban the fucktards bit, cos that's already a reality
update 2:
More slander of Cook's good name by Shintaz/Patrick
23:23 – Patrick: and put that cook was in on it
23:24 – [FB] Arie the Arrogant Atheist: lies!
23:24 – [FB] Arie the Arrogant Atheist: A man of such high morals would never agree to such an evil thing
23:25 – Patrick: he's practically the leader
23:25 – Patrick: 😉

Businesses that only do business with other companies usually have particular marketing strategies that work well within their particular sector. Accordingly, executives of B2B businesses focus on targeting other business owners and not the public at large. In doing so, businesses should ensure they have a professional website with all necessary information readily accessible. Also, joining a trade organization or chamber of commerce can provide an enormous amount of leads. Finally, remaining visible in the community and networking can open up doors to other business owners in need of your particular solution. The combination of these three tactics can prove very beneficial to a businesss bottom line in the end.
One of the most recognizable marketing platforms for any business is their website. This is why it is so important to have it well-developed and filled with correct and pertinent information to attract other business owners. Take extra care to make sure your mission statement is easy to find and readily accessible to anyone who wants to learn a bit more about your company. In addition, if your business has a key salesperson that specialized in new business to business leads, make sure their direct contact information, including email and telephone number, is included on the website.
After your website has been completed, consider joining business trade groups specializing in your particular industry, as well as general groups such as the chamber of commerce. Doing so will afford you access to the membership rosters, which is like a free list of sales leads. Also, once you begin to introduce yourself to follow members of the groups, you will find it easier than cold calling them, since you will already share a common bond of membership in an organization.
Finally, make sure to network and pass out as many business cards as possible to interested parties. Make sure your employees are instructed to do the same thing if they happen to strike up a conversation with a business owner who expresses curiosity in your company. In achieving this goal, try to attend events that will draw business owners in your target market, and focus your energy there first. This will allow you to make the most efficient use of your time while still getting your face out into the local business scene.
In closing, making use of specialized business to business marketing strategies is the best way to connect with other business owners and forge working relationships. In preparation for your success, be sure to create a well-developed website, join local business groups, and network at events which cater to your target business owners. Once you master all three marketing strategies you will be well on your way to increasing your business leads exponentially.

Comparison shopping leads customer to Bobcat
Bobcat Advantage video series pushes landscaper toward a new M-Series E45
Marc Weiss, Stonecreek Landscaping
If a picture is worth a thousand words, how valuable is a video that compares excavators? The answer is quite a lot, according to landscaper Marc Weiss.
That�s because a YouTube� video was so impressive that after watching it he passed on buying an excavator from his long-time favorite brand of construction equipment and instead purchased a Bobcat� model that has exceeded his expectations in performance, comfort and serviceability.
Weiss owns Stonecreek Landscaping in Boston, N.Y., about 20 miles from Buffalo. The eight-year-old company began doing lawn maintenance and has since added snow plowing and a wide range of landscaping services.
�Near the end of 2010, I secured contracts for several residential retaining wall and drain tile projects,� Weiss says. �At that point I knew I needed an excavator. In early spring, I looked at just about every available machine either in person or on the Internet.�
Seeing is believing
As part of his evaluation process, Weiss regularly checks videos on YouTube that feature equipment working on the job. Just as he was about to purchase an excavator from a dealer that he had worked with previously, he scrolled through YouTube one more time and noticed the Bobcat Advantage website.
Marc Weiss in his E45
�I watched it and was impressed with everything I saw,� Weiss says. �I went to Bobcat of Buffalo for an in-person demo, but basically the video sold me on the E45.�
The Bobcat Advantage website showcases Bobcat excavators against competitive machines in repeatable, real-life tests and applications. Dozens of different videos compare machines and demonstrate Bobcat excavator advantages.
�Although I watched most of the individual video comparisons,� says Weiss, �the ones on serviceability, cab entry and machine performance were most important � and impressive � to me.�
�I�m big on servicing my equipment,� he says. �I was very pleased to discover how easy it was to access all of the engine checkpoints on the Bobcat M-Series excavator. The swing-open tailgate and side access hood make preventive maintenance simple. There is no comparison to the other machines I looked at.�
Comfortable cab
�I�m 6 feet 4 inches tall, so the large cab entry/exit room is very welcome,� Weiss says. �Inside the cab there is plenty of space throughout. Everything is done right to ensure superior operator comfort.�
�The E45 is a really good digging machine,� he says. �In using it to excavate basements, I�ve noticed that the faster cycle times and top-rated auxiliary hydraulic performance allows me to accomplish more work in less time.�
Weiss says that as �someone who has owned one brand of construction equipment exclusively for several years, buying the E45 has been a very satisfying experience. The machine has met and exceeded my expectations.�
The new excavator has helped him take on a variety of projects. For example, he is now clearing lots for the first time.
�I did not have the equipment to do it previously,� Weiss says. �Now with the E45 and Bobcat clamp, it�s easy to handle bulky materials such as brush and logs. Plus, the 30-inch bucket allows me work faster when loading trucks, digging trenches for drainage tile and building retaining walls.
�In fact,� he concludes, �the capabilities of the E45 impact how I bid jobs. It allows me to get work completed quicker, reduces my labor costs and enables me to give customers a better price.�

Honk - Park, Swipe to set Parking Meter Alarm and Find Your Car! is a great app. Honk is simple and elegant and includes little things like updating your app icon with remaining time on your meter.

Walk Me To My Car is the best alternative to the essential apps. Simply hit the "Pin Car" button when you park your car. When you're ready to return simply hit the "Walk Me" button. The walking directions are the best we have seen in any app. Some other features include a parking timer and a vibrate function when you near your car. Walk Me To My Car doesn't include every feature in the toolbox, but for what it does have, it is a great app.

Find Your Car with AR: Augmented Car Finder is yet another free option. Augmented reality makes this a truly unique app. When you park, simply tap the "Car Finder" button. When you're ready to return, hit another button and the app will guide you back to your car. The app has okay accuracy and is fun to use. It is an app you will want to try, but it may not end up working for you.
Decent Apps
Find my car - myPark Pro
by Naxx Technologies
Find my car - myPark Pro looks good on paper, but in actuality is a terrible app. The app is simply unreliable. The feature set is fantastic, but the app itself is not useful in finding your car. You are able to locate your position, take a photo, take a note, and it all saves automatically. The automatic location finder is inaccurate. There is also no support for metered parking in this app. We can only hope the app improves in the near future.
