I recently started reading Women Who Run with the Wolves and frankly, am surprised by the rave reviews and plaudits this work has received. So far it has come across as another piece of pop psychology, laden with annoying terminology and poorly analyzed analogies with little in the way of practical advice. For those of us who already run with the wolves, reading this book quickly turns into an exercise in tedium. Trying to imagine this book through the eyes of her target audience, I have to wonder if they're going to come away with anything more than empty words that inspire only discontent with their current lives.
Want to reconnect with the wild spirit that resides in you? Don't bother spending money on a Jungian analysis of fairy tales. If you feel you must have a written book to reconnect with that part of yourself, go out and buy a guidebook to local hiking trails, forests, or waterways. Then use it; go out into the woods and see for yourself what nature is, what wild means. Stay long enough to see the little details, both uplifting and unpleasant. Stand in silence and listen. The woods are never quiet or still. There is always something happening. A woodpecker's work may echo over your head or the wind may rattle dried leaves like so many old bones. Look for the little signs of life and death that surround you… fallen limbs, tender pine saplings, a spider's web. Don't fear what you find, just know it is all a part of that which you seek to reclaim. Your wild spirit does not reside in the pages of a book; it resides in the wilds of the land from which we have arisen and to which we again will return.
One thought on "Into the Woods"
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Dieta, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://dieta-brasil.blogspot.com. A hug.

The Starkville Historic Preservation Commission approved payment for the writer of ŌĆ£Standards for StarkvilleŌĆÖs Historic DistrictsŌĆØ at its meeting Tuesday, but after discussing several remaining changes desired, the commission did not hold a vote to approve a final draft.
Commission chair Michael Fazio said he hopes to finish discussion of these standards by the end of the month.
ŌĆ£We donŌĆÖt have a final draft, but weŌĆÖre down to very modest changes,ŌĆØ Fazio said. ŌĆ£I anticipate I will read it line by line one more time. Hopefully, weŌĆÖll have a vote at the next meeting.ŌĆØ
For the past several months, Mississippi Heritage Trust Executive Director David Preziosi has been drafting design guidelines for historic buildings in planned local historic districts, incorporating the HPCŌĆÖs recommendations into multiple revisions. City Planner Ben Griffith said the grant helping the city pay for the PreziosiŌĆÖs work concludes with the fiscal year, leading the HPC to hold a specially called meeting so it could recommend approval of PreziosiŌĆÖs payment to the Starkville Board of Aldermen.
ŌĆ£Preziosi provided us an invoice for $4,000; thatŌĆÖs the cityŌĆÖs share,ŌĆØ Griffith said. ŌĆ£It will need to be included on next weekŌĆÖs board (of aldermenŌĆÖs) docket to make it.ŌĆØ
Commissioner Jason Barrett was the only one absent from the meeting, but all other commissioners suggested changes to the guidelines in turn. Many were minor; for instance, commissioner Briar Jones said he wanted a font that better reflected the cityŌĆÖs character.
Other changes may have only removed a few words, but the consequences were far-reaching. For instance, Jones also asked to delete an element disallowing metal awnings.
ŌĆ£ŌĆśNo metal awnings,ŌĆÖ in my mind, could be construed in a lot of different ways,ŌĆØ Jones said.
Commissioner Tom Walker said the Starkville Central Neighborhood Foundation has recently succeeded in getting downtown Starkville on the National Register of Historic Places, and he wanted the commission to consider factoring the downtown national district into its discussion. He said he wanted to include guidelines for storefronts in the document to prepare for any discussion of adding the NRHP district to StarkvilleŌĆÖs local historic districts.
ŌĆ£If we ever decided to deal with downtown, my experience is having a ŌĆśknownŌĆÖ is better than having an ŌĆśunknownŌĆÖ to throw stones at,ŌĆØ Walker said. ŌĆ£Something that already exists is less troublesome to think of.ŌĆØ
Several commissioners said it was too early to factor downtown into the guidelines. Ultimately, Fazio said, the commission decided to leave any reference to commercial buildings like the ones downtown out of the document.
ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs a completely different discussion for another day,ŌĆØ Fazio said. ŌĆ£In my mind, if and when we were to decide we wanted to deal with downtown, I would only imagine we would go to the downtown property owners first and say, ŌĆśWhat do you think?ŌĆÖ I donŌĆÖt want anything in here that looks like weŌĆÖre in fact way down that road.ŌĆØ
The commission did vote on a final name for the document, and commissioner Cyndi Sullivan said she wanted to see every reference to the ŌĆ£guidelinesŌĆØ inside the document changed to the word ŌĆ£standards.ŌĆØ
Finally, the commission voted to elect officers at its Sept. 25 meeting, a move Griffith said was consistent with other city committees.
ŌĆ£I think I only have one other committtee that doesnŌĆÖt have election of officers in September,ŌĆØ Griffith said.

Has Atlanta embraced modernism? A recap of our panel discussion
ORNo Account? Register here.
The areas of Atlanta that were developed from the 1950s – 1970s offer a wide range of modernist architecture — namely the north part of Buckhead, the Briarcliff Road/Sagamore Hills area, Vinings, and Sandy Springs/Dunwoody. As an Atlanta native who loves my city, I do hope with the slowing down of the real estate market — that there will be less tearing down and more renovation. And, when homeowners decide to expand — they do so in a manner consistent with the original structure.

The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Nigerian Immigration Service, Fire Service and Prisons Service spend too much on uniforms rather than improve on training facilities, the Senate has said.
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Interior, Senator Abubakar Bagudu, said this yesterday at the 2013 budget defence of the Ministry of Interior.
Bagudu, who did not disclose how much the agencies spent on uniforms, said his committee, on a recent visit to the agencies, discovered a terrible state of structures, gross inadequate of inmates' feeding system, lack of security gadgets, among others.
He urged the Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, to consider the Prisons Service "under the SURE-P Programme so that production of goods and services can increase".
He asked Immigration Service Comptroller-General Mrs Rose Uzoma to visit the Murtala International Airport Lagos to see how the Service could achieve a world-class entry and exit service.
Bagudu said the N156.1billion proposed for the ministry was insufficient, given the security challenges facing the nation.

At 3 p.m. on August 28, the toll of bells echoed from churches, schools and institutions across America. Millions heard the synchronized bell ringing that marked the seminal moment in civil rights history punctuated by the final refrain of Martin Luther King Jr.'s powerful message to this nation: "Let freedom ring." It was during that hour some 50 years ago that the Baptist preacher, the galvanizing force of a movement, delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech. He addressed men and women – 250,000 strong, mostly African American — who came from southern hamlets and urban hubs to Washington, DC to march for jobs and freedom. From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial – the monument of the Great Emancipator – his soaring speech inspired the poor, the oppressed and the disenfranchised to claim their inherent right to first-class citizenship. His words awakened the slumbering white masses that had accepted the segregated status of their fellow citizens, willing to be oblivious to the degradation, deprivation and violence that accompanied Jim Crow. He issued a challenge to America to fulfill its broken promises –"America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check that has come back marked insufficient funds – as he pushed for immediate nonviolent change – "We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now." The "Let Freedom Ring Commemoration and Call To Action" was the culmination of a week that gave Americans of different hues and generations the opportunity to recognize men and women who put themselves in harm's way to open the doors of equality. From the White House to grassroots organizations, political and civil rights leaders used the occasion for more than homage and reflection. Event speakers – including civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, Rev. Al Sharpton, actor Jamie Foxx, National Urban League CEO Marc Morial, entertainment mogul Oprah Winfrey and former presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, among others – sought to ignite a new sense of activism among attendees to address a range of issues, from gun violence and education reform to health care and immigration. They attempted to capture the momentum palpable among the legions of marchers five decades ago. Then the demands included comprehensive civil rights legislation, desegregation of public schools and voting rights. And when King and other civil rights leaders – including the 23-year-old Lewis, the youngest speaker and today only surviving organizer of the 1963 gathering – delivered marching orders, the troops responded. They went back to local communities fired up, engaging in activities to advance the cause. Some volunteered to help with voting registration efforts. Many participated in boycotts of merchants promoting discriminatory practices. Others fought to integrate public accommodations and institutions. Within two years, the promise of real change came with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Each battle was hard won. The cost of victory was more than worn shoe leather or exhaustive political wrangling. It was life and death. At the ceremony, President Obama shared names of casualties of foot soldiers who had been on the front lines of the movement. His list included civil rights leader Medgar Evers; civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner; President John F. Kennedy, killed just 86 days after the March; his brother, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, slain during his 1968 presidential campaign; and King, assassinated five years after the March and one day after his poignantly prophetic "I've Been To The Mountaintop" speech. And there were countless innocent children, law-abiding citizens, freedom riders and volunteers. All Americans owe a debt to the victims who were tragically in the line of fire as well as the countless fallen heroes who contributed to this country's reconstruction. Beyond African Americans, there have been a myriad of beneficiaries over the past five decades: women, Latinos, the LGBT community, the physically challenged — any group that has faced discrimination or been denied access to full participation in the American Dream at some point. These groups were represented among the Let Freedom Ring speakers, a more diverse collection than the 1963 March. They're part of our changing America decreasingly being dominated by white males, components of a growing progressive, multicultural coalition. Clearly, the most powerful symbol of achievement — tangible evidence of advancement and potential of a people and a nation – was the sight of the first African American President standing at the podium where King delivered his transformative words. Barack Obama, our most prominent heir to the Dream, has said that day in 1963 served as a compass that directed his life to possibilities and the fact that ordinary folk can accomplish extraordinary things. The President used his speech to rally our nation to address the "great unfinished business" of the March, achieving economic justice. He called on the nation to find the courage to come together "for good jobs and just wages… from the corners of Anacostia to the hills of Appalachia." "The men and women who gathered 50 years ago were not there in search of some abstract idea," he told the cheering crowd. "They were there seeking jobs as well as justice. Not just the absence of oppression, but the presence of economic opportunity. For what does it profit a man, Dr. King would ask, to sit at an integrated lunch counter if he can't afford the meal?" His words affirmed a common theme throughout the week's activities: Civil rights advances – including his presidential milestone — must not obscure the March's economic goals. The black unemployment rate at 13% remains almost twice as high as the rate for whites. Moreover, the Center of American Progress and Policy Link report that closing racial and ethnic gaps creates a more viable American economy: The gross domestic product—the total output of goods and services — would grow by an additional $1.2 trillion per year; federal, state and local tax revenues would increase by $192 billion; and 13 million people would be lifted out of poverty. "The test was not and never has been whether the doors of opportunity are cracked a bit wider for a few," said Obama. "It's whether our economic system provides a fair shot for the many, for the black custodian and the white steel worker, the immigrant dishwasher and the Native American veteran." In his eloquent but blunt style, Sharpton urges African Americans to stop the campaign by conservatives to reverse gains we've made since 1963. Moreover, he told the crowd to be more vigilant in fighting the sophisticated, pernicious foes that attack voting rights and create an atmosphere in which open season on young African American and Latino males is not only permissible but endorsed. "We come here today as the children of Dr. King to say that we are going to face Jim Crow's children because Jim Crow had a son called James Crow Jr., Esquire. He writes voting suppression laws and puts it in language that looks different but the results are the same. They come with laws that tell people to stand their ground. They come with laws to tell people to stop and frisk but I come to tell you just like our mothers and fathers beat Jim Crow we will beat James Crow Jr., Esquire." Our mission, Sharpton asserts, is clear: The unwavering defense of the Dream: "We saw Dr. King and the Dream cross the Red Sea of apartheid and segregation but we have to cross the Jordan of unequal economic parity. We have to cross the Jordan of continued discrimination and mass incarceration. We got to keep fighting and substantiate that the dream was not for one generation." Jamie Foxx says African American entertainers and entrepreneurs need to get involved as well, learning valuable lessons from the generation of performers who applied their celebrity and financial resources to support the 1963 March and Civil Rights Movement as whole. He shared how renowned entertainer-activist Harry Belafonte, a close friend and confidante of King, had routinely posted bail for the civil rights leader when he was arrested during demonstrations. And the legendary Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, produced an album with one of a King's speech, "The Great March to Freedom, " released on August 28, 1963. He says it's clear the role today's superstars must play. "The young folks [must] pick it up now," Foxx told the crowd, "so that when we're 87 years old, talking to the young folks, we can say it was me, Will Smith, Jay Z, Kanye, Alicia Keys, Kerry Washington, the list goes on and on." The repayment of the debt is to continue the movement. President Obama, who keeps a bust of King and a framed program of the March in the Oval Office as reminders "of what's at stake," says we must ensure that the civil rights leaders of the March and their efforts do not die in vain. "To suggest, as some sometimes do that little has changed, that dishonors the courage and the sacrifice of those who paid the price to march in those years… But we would dishonor those heroes as well to suggest that the work of this nation is somehow complete. The arc of the moral universe may bend toward justice, but it doesn't bend on its own." It becomes the responsibility of the children and grandchildren of the Dream to make sure the bell of freedom rings loudly across America.

Final Score: Los Angeles 3, Anaheim 2
Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Willie Mitchell scored 6:45 into the third period to help the Los Angeles Kings take a 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center.
Ryan Smyth and Anze Kopitar also scored for the Kings, who stopped a two-game slide. Jonathan Quick made 25 saves in the win.
Los Angeles finished its 10-game road trip, during which it went 6-1-3.
"It's been a great road trip. That's 15 points out of a possible 20 - that's a nice road trip," Kings head coach Terry Murray said. "It's important that we keep our focus on how that happened. The hard work, the intensity, the concentration every game to bring it...to bring it every day and do things right. Now we have to do the same thing tomorrow at home."
Teemu Selanne and Corey Perry scored for the Ducks, who have dropped four straight. Curtis McElhinney made 15 stops in the loss.
Selanne's goal was the 626th of his career, moving him past Joe Sakic for 14th all-time in NHL history. Next on the list is Dave Andreychuk with 640.
In the third period, Mitchell gave his team the lead when he had a clear lane from the left circle and used a slap shot to beat McElhinney.
Quick needed to make just six stops in the third, and Los Angeles didn't give Anaheim a power play in the frame to hang on for the win.
"It was very disappointing," Selanne said. "I think we played good enough to win the game. The goals matter. They got three and we got two. It was a better effort and that is what we have to build on. We have to stay positive."
Smyth scored 12:13 into the game, when he backhanded in the rebound of a Jack Johnson shot. But Selanne scored just more than a minute later by redirecting Toni Lydman's point blast.
However, Kopitar scored with 2:51 left in the first, banging home a rebound on a rush play for a 2-1 lead.
Perry scored his 31st goal of the season halfway through the second period.
Game Notes
Perry is one shy of matching his career high in goals, set during the 2008-09 season...Los Angeles plays its first home game of the month on Thursday against Minnesota...The Ducks host the Wild on Friday...The Kings have taken two of three from Anaheim this season.

How Watson's $1 Million Jeopardy Win Helps IBM's Other Supercomputer
After crushing the humanoids on Jeopardy this week, IBM's Watson computer took home $1 million in prize money. Instead of throwing it away on Tiffany diamond-encrusted circuit boards or a Lamborghini to show up other supercomputers, Watson is showing that its silicon heart is in the right place. Half the money will go to the World Vision, a nonprofit that helps children in poverty, the other half to World Community Grid, IBM's humanitarian supercomputer.
As we chronicled last year, World Community Grid, or WCG, is an enormous volunteer computer network dedicated to scientific research. Ordinary citizens donate their idle laptops and desktops to be used for crunching algorithms and conducting mathematical experiments that accelerate research on clean energy and high-yield rice crops as well as cures for cancer, AIDS, muscular dystrophy, and other diseases. IBM started the free, open-source lab in 2004 to make a virtual supercomputer available to researchers who couldn't otherwise afford one.
Half of Watson's winnings, $500,000, will be given to scientists who apply for grants to use the WCG. The publicity should only help the grid grow beyond the 535,000 participants (and 1.7 million computers) in more than 80 countries. Yesterday, as word spread of the grid's windfall, 1,300 people signed up, seven times more than on a typical day. (The Daily Septuple perhaps?)
Joining is a no-brainer. When you're not using your computer's CPU, it's just sitting there, bored out of its circuits, when it could be performing some serious math that benefits mankind. It's easy to sign up. You download an app that senses when your computer isn't in use (while you're at lunch, watching Jeopardy, whatever) and assigns it math to do. When your computer completes the assignment in its free time, the app reports the results to IBM. Those are the app's only functions.
Since we started Team Fast Company last year on the WCG, its 79 participants have donated a staggering 15 years of computer time. That is, it would take a single computer that long to do all the calculations that our combined computers have done so far. Impressive, sure. But we can do better. So check out the grid and look for Fast Company on the team page.

Let's just look at the other "2 sides" of the coin...
1) Commercial use:
Imagine if you could get online content by paying with your computer time. No more piracy, maybe...
Think of the many always-on-always-connected devices which can be used as a neurone network.
This market is really underestimated.
I remember hearing that Microsoft has piloted a project of paying with processor time, but nothing more I know.
2) It is cool, but maybe it is not much bio:
Look at your computer's power supply: normal desktop is 300 to 400 W: burns some 1/3 kW/h (some 100 energy saving diod house lights).
Maybe you could also donate some change to a non-profit to buy a powerful server which can calculate much more with much less power. Of course, if you already have one of those, you could help a lot by just installing an app on it (it will not burn you).
Here is another way the power of Watson can help humans: http://www.kartendesign.com/bl...

ORGS build up
Hi everyone,
I have really enjoyed the stories of other airhead bike build up projects, so will be posting mine, the build up of ORGS my Off-Road GS here.
I have a good general idea of what I want, but you'll have to follow along as the plan in my head unfolds. My intention is for ORGS to be a bike I can take on the highway and ride all day long for several days to get to a destination, say Moab, Baja, or Copper Canyon, spend a week or so doing some hard riding on unmaintained back roads, then make it back. I want it to be able to take a wipeout without a lot of damage, or cost to repair. That was a drawback of my GSPD. Windscreens, body panels, handle bars, etc. break and cost a lot.
As a base to start with I have bought this '92 GS with 27,000 miles:
And I got this run down '92 PD with 52,000 for parts:
The first thing I'll work on is to get the frame in order. I took a day to strip the parts bike down. Here is what is left that I'll start to craft into ORGS. It looks like a chicken to me:
I studied some photos of the frame upgrades done by various projects, and came up with these paper patterns, then cut them from metal I bought at the scrap yard:
It took a lot of work to get those gussets cut out using a pneumatic cutoff tools.
I made a digital scan of the finished gussets and I'll make some vector graphic data from them which can then be used by anyone interested to program a CAD controled plasma cutter. What took me several days will be able to be done in a few minutes.
I put the vector graphics I have ready here: http://stuff.gotdns.org/bike/orgs-bu...gusset-design/-x3300

Frame Welding
Airhead Wrangler, thanks for the offer. I did a fair amount of research for the frame mods, but will certainly welcome any more info or comments I can get.
Something I forgot to mention the other day in my list up of things for this bike is that it must look cool. I can see that costing some money, but for the effort that will go into it I want this thing to look good.
I got up early Saturday planning to get all the gusset welding done, but it went slower than I thought with fitting the gussets, cleaning the joining parts, grinding tungsten, etc. and I could just finish tack welding all the gussets in place by late Saturday night.
It was hard to get the top tube gussets clamped for tacking, but I found that masking tape worked well.
I got up early again on Sunday, thinking I was living the movie 'Ground Hog Day' but could get all the gussets welded up.
I plan to use an EnDuraLast charging system, so made up some brackets to mount the regulator along the top tube.
I am satisfied with the results of the weekend. After two days of serious welding I can certainly say my TIG welding skills have improved.

Frame Cleanup
Thanks for the encouragement BALSEY, I'm glad someone can appreciate my efforts.
During the week I did some cleanup on the frame. As far as I know, dirt bikes don't have passenger foot pegs, and I think this thing really looks out of place, so off it went.
I'll make a custom fork lock. I'm thinking something like the old Harleys had that used a padlock, but using a brake disk lock. Anyway, for now I got rid of that thing also since it doesn't fit into my plan.
To make room for the EnDuraLast voltage regulator on the top tube I cut off the existing bracket that the starter, horn, and load shedding relays mount to. I made up a new relay bracket from a piece of 7/8" square tube stock that I cut length-wise. This photo shows how I set the voltage regulator mounts and the relay mount.
Just as a preview of things to come, a package arrived this week with this very cool thing inside. I put it up on the shelf for later. I'll need to make a rear mount for it, as the original mount won't fit with the rear top tube gussets I added to the frame.

I love your work. I would only take issue with the assertion that a GSPD cant take hits without expensive damage. A few good tumbles gets rid of all the weak parts and after that you have to grind shit off to remove it
Other than that, I cant wait to see where you go with this.
You going to keep the stock front end?
You really gonna make that poor paralever go another inch? you sadist!

Rear Suspension Study
I'd like to get some more rear wheel travel out of my paralever suspension, so to get a better idea of the limits I took a few measurements of the shock length at differing swing arm positions. I took some measurements with just the swing arm and final drive bolted up to the bare frame, and some measurements with the fully assembled GS with just the rear shock removed.
Here are my measurements in millimeters:
swing arm topped out 520 drive shaft topped out 505 swing arm centered (zero u-joint angle) 450 drive shaft bottomed ou 402 tire bottomed out (Torance 130/80-17) 392 swing arm bottomed out 387
To get a ratio for shock stroke vs. wheel travel I measured the change in the distance between the sub frame and the center of the final drive when the swing arm topped out and the tire bottomed out and got 280mm.
travel/stroke = 280 / (520 - 392) = 2.18
So as just a rough limit, between the extremes of when the drive shaft starts rubbing the wheel travel will be:
(505 - 402) * 2.18 = 224mm = 8.8"
Some specs I found for the stock GS say it has 180mm (7.08") of wheel travel, so it seems reasonable to assume that there is no way to add more than 44mm (1 5/8").
I want to do some more study of the u-joint angles and to understand what is rubbing at the extremes. I also have to check if my shock body (Fox twin-clicker) can take a longer shaft, and what parts are available for it.

Steering Tube
In my last post I mentioned I'd been working on a lot of minor things, and now they've added up to be something to report. Whenever I went down to Baja I always had some envy of those dirt bikes. I tried, but just couldn't keep up. They had such nice suspensions compared to the GS.
Some time ago I got these CRF250R forks off ebay.
All the CRFs, 125, 250 and 450, use the same fork with minor changes in spring rate and valving.
Here is what I found when I compared the GS to the CRF:
R100GS CRF250R difference wheel base 1513 mm 1477 mm -36 mm steering stops 90 deg 90 deg 0 bearing 28x52x16 30x51x15 tube length 168 mm 192 mm +24 mm rake 28.0 deg 27.5 deg -0.5 deg trail 100 mm 125 mm +25 mm triple offset 37.5 mm 24.0 mm -13.5 mm fork lead 38.0 mm 32.0 mm -6.0 mm total offset 75.5 mm 56.0 mm -19.5 mm
Here is my first attempt at adapting the CRF forks on another bike.
I just added on another 25mm to the top of the steering tube and fitted some 30x52x16 bearings. It was a relatively simple mod, and it worked out OK, but there were several problems with it.
Because of the shorter offset and the higher front end the trail was jacked way out. It carved around turns and was really stable on the highway, and I found I really didn't need a steering stabilizer. It seemed tiring to ride through tight twisty stuff though, and was also hard to turn when stopped with a lot of weight on the bike.
Another big problem was the loss of steering angle. The lower triple would hit the frame at the down tube gussets. I really missed those extra few degrees. It was very hard to do slow technical riding. When you need to turn into the falling bike to keep it up. There was just no way... I've seen some similar adaptations that put a spacer between the lower bearing and the lower triple clamp. That would allow more steering angle, but would raise up the front end.
Anyway, my list for ORGS was:
The solution I came up with this time was to fit another steering tube that would mount the CRF triple just ahead of the original steering tube, a pretty radical mod.
I found a hydraulic cylinder tube and a chunk of 2.5" round stock at the scrap yard that I though wold work. The OD of the hydraulic cylinder tube measured 65.0 mm. Here is the plan for the tube ends that would take the CRF's 30x51x15 bearings.
And here is the hydraulic cylinder tube, and the finished tub ends.
To fit the tube length I just assembled the bearings and tube ends in the triple clamp and marked off how long I needed it.
Here is the finished head assembly. You can see here where I had filed grooves in the lower triple clamp to get more steering angle clearance on the old bike.
Based on measurements and trial fittings I figured I needed to set the bottom of the new tube about 40 mm in front of the original tube to give me enough clearance between the lower triple and the frame down tubes to get the 90 degrees of turning I wanted. The original steering tube diameter is 60 mm, and the new tube 65 mm, so if the new tube goes 40 mm in front of it I would need to cut the old tube where the new and old tubes intersect, then weld on the new tube.
But wait, I also needed to set the new steering tube at a steeper angle than the original to get the reduced trail I wanted. I did a some calculations based on the geometry of the two bikes and found I needed to cut about 6 mm less off the top of the old tube than at the bottom of it.
Now the new tube is a perfect cylinder, but the old tube has a reduced center section, a complicated intersection to figure out... I only had one chance to do the cut, so I wanted to be pretty sure it would be right. I figured I'd better have a pretty good handle on that intersection before cutting. I used a graphical geometric calculation to get the four intersection points of the very top of the tube, the top and bottom of the reduced section, and the very bottom of the tube.
Being a bit nervous, I made a trial cut and checked the fitting.
Then I transfered the intersection points to the tube then sketched in the rest of the cut.
Then did the final cut.
I put the swing arm and rear wheel on the bike to use as a baseline to align the new steering tube, then ground the sides of the cutout with an air grinder until the two pieces mated up and the new tube was aligned with the rear wheel.
Then, with the two straight edges aligned I tacked the new tube in place.
After a lot of checking and a break for coffee I welded the new tube on.
To add strength and cover the hole of the old tube I made some gussets from 1/8 stock.
I wanted to mount a Scotts steering damper (http://www.scottsperformance.com), and the stock CRF triple just doesn't look very cool, so I bought an Applied Racing Stabilizer-Ready triple clamp (http://www.appliedrace.com) that had the same offset of 24 mm as the stock CRF.
To fabricate a tower for the damper I got a 3/8-16 brass screw, coupler and jam nut. I cut the head off the screw and filed the sides down until the screw just fit into the slot of the damper arm.
I welded the coupler to a bracket made from 1/8 flat stock, then welded that to the top cover. I needed to chase the coupler threads with a tap after welding it.
This shows the steering angle is close to 45 degrees. The limit is in the damper, not the steering stop.
I'll need to weld some small shims to the frame so the steering stop will hit it before the damper reaches its limit.
It was a big mod, but I am very satisfied with the result. This photo just doesn't present what it looks like, it looks really cool in person.
I'm really wondering how it will ride, and where it will crack if it does.

Fitting Tanks
Given the will, there is a savage way!
I've been pushing to get all the frame welding done so I can move on to other things. I added two gussets to the shock mount to give it a better connection to the frame.
A big box arrived by air freight from Germany.
I really liked having the big tank on the PD. I've done 1000 mile days with it where I just needed to fill-up a few times. A big tank is really nice when you go off into the mountains for a day or two and don't need to carry extra cans. I'll have this big tank for trips, and use the R65 tank for local riding.
I got the more expensive nylon tank that can be painted. I figured it would be a better investment, as I can repaint it when it gets scratched-up or when I want to change the color scheme.
I made up this pattern in the lower right for the front tank mount bracket.
I don't have a photo of the unmounted bracket. I fabricated it out of 1/8" flat stock and drilled a big hole in it.
I used a piece of welding rod and a bubble level to align the two brackets on the frame, then tacked the brackets.
The welded brackets look a little flimsy. I'll add another support running from the inside of the down tube to the bracket, but I don't have any stock of that size. I'm thinking 1/8 x 1/2 will work good. Here's how it looks with the tank.
For the rear mount I made up these bungs with a M8 x 1.25 threaded hole.
I bolted the bungs up to the tank to get the alignment for welding.
As seen in the photo, the tank mounting tangs are not quite even. I thought the reason for the difference was that the two gussets were not aligned, but after welding I checked it and it was the tank. I should have done the check before welding it up. I can fix the tank by shaving some material off the the one side, or gluing a spacer on the other. I can fix the frame by either welding a washer on the low side, or grinding the high side.
I used some thin sheet aluminum to make a heat shield between the bung and the nylon tank, but the tank got hot enough for the nylon to melt a little when I did the tack weld. After welding up the bung I chased the threads with a tap.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I got this black R65 tank off ebay. I really like the shape.
I like the lines of the tank and this GS long seat.
The R65 tank is longer than the HPN tank so I made up this adapter plate. Whenever I want to use the R65 tank I'll need to bolt on this adapter.
The R65 uses a hanging swing type of mount in the rear, but there was just no way to get that working with this modified GS frame, so I took the old mounting hardware off the tank and made up a new mounting plate from 1/16" flat stock that will bolt to the frame adapter plate. Here I have the new mounting plate clamped to the tank and ready for tack welding.
Once, when I was a kid, I was working on the tank of my Hodaka Super Rat and the fumes in the tank ignited. It was a minor explosion, but scared the hell out of me. Since then every time I work on a gas tank with heat I do this check.
Here's the plate tacked to the back of the tank.
Here is the modified tank bolted to the adapter plate. I just have some spacers that were handy in there to check the fit. I'm thinking to make another smaller set of M6 bungs to weld to the adapter plate.
The fitted R65 tank.

On the subject of welding gas tanks, a guy i know welds on motorcycle gas tanks quite often, one day while he was doing one i ask him how did he get them clean and free of fumes, he said he did not worry about it, he just emptied the tank and ran a Argonne gas line into the tank while welding and that would prevent any fumes from igniting.

Bromus is a large genus of the true grass family (Poaceae), with about 160 species. Estimates in the scientific literature of the number of species have ranged from 100 to 400. They are commonly known as bromes, brome grasses or chess grasses
The genus Bromus is distinguished from other grass genera by the combination of several morphological characteristics, including leaf sheaths that are closed (connate) for most of their length, awns that are usually inserted subapically, and hairy appendages on the ovary. The leaves and sheaths can be hairless, sparsely hairy or hairy. The inflorescence is a loose or open panicle, usually drooping or nodding, sometimes spreading (as in Japanese Brome, B. japonicus).
Bromus species are generally considered to have low utility value to humans. As names like Bromus fibrosus, Poverty Brome (B. sterilis) or Ripgut Brome attest, they are not very useful as fodder because their leaves sclerotize quickly and may even be harmful to livestock due to the high silica content. Brome grasses are not usually found as ornamental plants due to most species' nondescript appearance. Some are useful to prevent erosion but such use must be cautiously controlled as most Bromus have the ability to spread, becoming invasive weeds.
Taxonomists have generated various classification schemes to reflect the morphological variation that is seen in Bromus. In North America, five sections are generally recognized: Bromus, Genea, Ceratochloa, Neobromus, and Bromopsis. Sections Bromus and Genea are native to the Old World (Eurasia), but many species are introduced into North America. Sections Bromopsis, Neobromus, and Ceratochloa have several native species in North America.

This has gotten my attention recently, that not only are there more sequels in gaming now, there's a new franchise revival going on. Some good, like Mortal kombat and Rayman, but mostly I find some franchises are being dragged out. One notable game that made me think this is:
- God of War Ascension, there has been a trilogy on consoles, and prequels on the PSP, how much more can they flush out the story and gameplay with? It seems obviously like a milking of a great franchise, that should be put to rest for a while, at least well into the PS Orbis's run.
- Halo 4 promises another trilogy, something so grand, I don't think it will still be relevant by the time the sixth in the main story installment comes out. Other than the original trilogy, we've gotten Halo wars, Halo reach and ODST. I know Halo makes huge amounts of money, so I can't slag off Microsoft for doing this, but maybe the fans want it to age a bit, find more modern mechanics, then blow away the industry again. That's just me though.
- Mario, it has been proven the most recognizable, and probably most loved videogame icon, has run out of truly new tricks, with the recent mediocrities such as Super mario 3D land, New super mario brothers Wii, and New super mario brothers 2 on the 3DS, it really feels like Nintendo is seriously churning them out by now. I know a lot of people disagree, but that's almost more harmful to the brand than admitting it's no longer fresh. I'd hate to see Mario turn into a boring yearly, or even bi yearly 'thing'. Not a special event like it used to be, but a 'oh, another mario game' situation. Nintendo needs to let mario nostalgia work back up, and maybe, I don't know, MAKE SOME MORE IPS?
So what are your franchises, either recently revived, or just being pumped out that you'd like the studios to kind of chill out on?
Honorable Mentions.
- Gears of war: Judgement
- Resident evil 6
EDIT: I just noticed my three picks are essentially the mascots for their respective systems. That explains it -__-.

Music Basti gets Delhis young musicians to interact with slum children
When Suhail Yusuf isnt at the studio where his band Advaita is mastering their album,he travels from C.R. Park to Shastri Nagar in North Delhi. There,at Sarai basti,in front of a bunch of eager children,Yusuf brings out his sarangi and plays. With him is Faith Gonsalves who watches the performance. Ask her to describe it and shell tell you that its difficult. I am very happy that this has been so successful,it began as an experiment. To see the expressions on the faces of the children has encouraged us to carry forward the project into 2009,and hopefully further, says Gonsalves,the brains behind Music Basti.
The experiment began unofficially six months ago when Gonsalves,a music lover,wondered if there could be a better,more creative way to interact with slum children. Music obviously was a powerful tool and in time Music Basti was born. While volunteers in various organisations go in and teach children or play with them which is incredibly commendable,I wanted to use a different medium and engage a different set of young people in the city,Delhis young musicians. Most of Delhis musicians have little or no access to these children and vice versa. Music Basti serves as the basis of networking and helps to create a format for interaction with the kids, says Gonsalves who along with her sister Pattie and friend Gaurav Kodesia came together and worked on a musical documentary of the same name. The film incorporates the process of the project,how it developed,the workshops themselves,their impact on the children and the team involved. Most importantly,it explored the musical environment of Delhi,examining what is happening with young music in Delhi. There are several developing bands,college music societies,independent groups like Artistes Unlimited and others,many of which are featured in the film. It aimed to bridge the gap between these individuals and the many street children and homeless children in the city, says Gonsalves. The film uses entirely original music of Delhi bands like Advaita and Five8,as well as Artistes Unlimited.
The workshop with the musicians began in October and has been a learning process for both the musicians as well the children. Its been a wonderful experience,to be able to take our music to these kids has been nothing short of terrific, says Abhishek Mathur of Advaita. Apart from Mathur,Yusuf and Mohit Lal from Advaita,Adhir Ghosh and his bandmates from Five8 along with Avinash Baghel,a city-based violinist are also involved in the project.
Music Basti has a simple procedure for anyone interested in volunteering. All they need to do is email Gonsalves with their personal information and how they would like to volunteer or work with the project. For those interested in conducting workshops,it is also an easy process. Musicians need to visit the location to understand the place and familiarise themselves with the children. The children are young,below 12 years of age,so music and interaction needs to be tailored to their age and interest. This is essential,along with the fact …continued »

As someone who regularly critiques New York Times articles, I feel it is only fair to also give credit where it's due. The Times deserves kudos for publishing an expose on the vast wealth accumulated by Chinese premier Wen Jiabao and his relatives–an article that has resulted, the newspaper revealed this morning, in four months of sophisticated attacks on its computer network by Chinese hackers.
There is nothing at all surprising about the Chinese cyber-harassment in response to criticism. This has long been a trademark of the Beijing regime, which typically operates through hackers that provide a layer of deniability to Chinese officials. Indeed last year Bloomberg was similarly targeted after running an article revealing the riches accumulated by Xi Jinping, then China's vice president at the time.
The Times, therefore, must have published its well-reported article on Wen Jiabao with its eyes wide open as to the likely consequences. The fact that it went ahead anyway, and did not cave before China's implicit and explicit threats of retaliation, is a credit to the company, and a sign of the good that a large media organization can do.
Online-only journals and blogs are great–hey, I'm a blogger too–but it takes a lot of resources to produce journalism like this and then deal with the blowback. If giant media corporations like the New York Times Company are unable to operate at a profit in the future, the consequence will be a serious loss of information which will negatively impact even those of us who often disagree with the Times's editorial line.

Hand Cross
Ethiopian Crosses
Christianity most likely arrived in Ethiopia in the first century. The conversion of King Ezana in 330 c.e. led to its official acceptance and the minting of coins bearing one of the earliest uses of the cross as a Christian symbol. Although the silver pendant crosses in the Museum's collection are from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, their forms have a considerably longer history, as the much older copper, wood, and iron crosses here demonstrate.
Hand crosses, which are used by priests, are either hand-held or suspended from a cord around the neck. They are kissed by the faithful to receive a blessing. Processional crosses are carried on long poles in religious processions. Prayer staffs are used to mark rhythms during sacred dances and as supports to lean on while standing for long hours during Orthodox church services. Together, all of these crosses are emblems of the Ethiopian Orthodox church's ongoing authority.

You just have discharge. Although it may be gross, it's completely healthy. Vagina's are weird like that. You might just need to wear a lightday or a pantyliner. You have no reason to be concerned unless it looks discolored, clumpy, or is smelly.

NOt a yeast infection at all! all girls/women have its, it is perfectly normal. it is vaginal discharge, this is a lubricent for your part lol and this fluid cleans the vagina and keeps it moist to help fight infections.

The fluids should be clear, white, or off-white which yours is so your all good, if that changes then you may have a yeast infection. Just wear pantie liners and change them every day so it doesnt get on your underwear. THIS IS PERFECTLY NORMAL AND IS NOT A YEAST INFECITON. your all good lol hope this hepled.

It sounds like there's a possibility you might have a yeast infection. I suggest you go to a gynecologist as soon as you can. Even if it's not a yeast infection a doctor can take a look and ask you questions to get a better idea what might being going on. Untreated yeast infections can cause more serious problems. If cost is an issue Planned Parenthood charges on a sliding scale and is quite affordable. Hope this helps!
**Please note that I said there's a "possibility" of a yeast infection. And, by the way, virgins can still get yeast infections as they are not considered STD's. There are many causes of yeast infections. I still say that the best thing to do would be to see a gynecologist to see what's going on. Gynecologists are professionals. You obviously asked for advice because this was something that was concerning you. When it comes to your health I would be cautious of taking the advice of people who's answers are filled with misspellings. Perhaps their advice is filled with misguided information as well.
