World Cup holder Spain included Diego Costa in its 23-man squad for Brazil despite lingering worries over a leg injury to the striker.
Costa has been hobbled for weeks by a right thigh muscle problem, but coach Vicente del Bosque is prepared to gamble that the Atletico Madrid forward will be fit to lead the defending champion's attack.
Costa, who is a Brazilian-born Spanish national, is expected to start ahead of Fernando Torres and David Villa, who were also in the squad.
As expected, winger Jesus Navas was left out while Juan Mata was included despite a mixed Premier League season.
Spain opens against the Netherlands on June 13 in a repeat of the 2010 final. The world champions also play Chile and Australia in Group B.
Sixteen of the 23 squad players who lifted the World Cup four years ago return for Spain.
Del Bosque seemed to choose players like Mata and Torres on favor rather than obvious merit heading into Brazil, with Real Madrid playmaker Isco among those discarded. Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara was unavailable due to injury.
While Costa's inclusion was hardly shocking, Del Bosque's decision to base Spain's attack around a forward who has been nagged by a hamstring problem over the final two months of the season is surprising considering his options.
Del Bosque stuck by Costa despite the availability of Juventus striker Fernando Llorente and Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo. Negredo found himself starting from the bench over the close of the club season but Llorente enjoyed a strong debut season at Juventus with 16 goals. While Llorente was in the Spain team that won the World Cup four years ago and the European Championship in 2012, the Basque striker played just 31 minutes over those two tournaments.
Del Bosque said Friday after Spain's 2-0 friendly win over Bolivia that he has faith in Torres, who scored just five Premier League goals this season. David Villa, the country's all-time leading scorer, has seen his production dip but can easily slide into Spain's possession-based combination game, with midfielder Cesc Fabregas expected to reprise his role as an unorthodox striker when needed. Pedro Rodriguez was also named.
Nava's exclusion was expected after the Manchester City winger was sidelined down the stretch by an ankle problem.
Apart from question marks over the attack, it is hard to pick out a weak spot in Spain's squad which was released on the team's official webpage on Saturday.
Captain Iker Casillas will start in goal ahead of Pepe Reina and David De Gea, while versatile …continued »

Gay Marriage Passes Britain's House of Lords, Closer to Becoming Law
Gay marriage in Britain took one step closer toward becoming a reality on Monday after the House of Lords passed a bill that seeks to redefine marriage.
The bill will now go back to the House of Commons for a review, though the Associated Press reported that is likely to go without a problem, as the House of Commons passed the bill earlier, 390 to 148.
If signed into law, same-sex couples will be allowed to have both civil and religious ceremonies in England and Wales. The Church of England, which has opposed gay marriage and often spoken out against it, will be banned from performing ceremonies.
"It's impossible to express how much joy this historic step will bring to tens of thousands of gay people and their families and friends," said Ben Summerskill, chief executive of gay rights group Stonewall, according to The Telegraph.
"The Bill's progress through Parliament shows that, at last, the majority of politicians in both Houses understand the public's support for equality – though it's also reminded us that gay people still have powerful opponents."
Colin Hart, campaign director for Coalition for Marriage, insisted, however, that the fight for traditional marriage is not over.
"They are just ordinary men and women, not part of the ruling elite. They are passionate, motivated and determined to fight on against a law that renders terms like husband and wife meaningless and threatens one of the foundations of the institution of marriage: fidelity and faithfulness," Hart said of traditional marriage supporters.
Despite its opposition to gay marriage, last month the Anglican Communion admitted that the bill is likely to pass and Britain will join the growing list of countries that accept the practice.
"Marriage is abolished, redefined and recreated – being different and unequal for different categories. The new marriage of the bill is an awkward shape with same gender and different gender categories scrunched into it – neither fitting well," said the Rt. Rev. Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury, during a government debate about the bill.
The Rt. Rev. Tim Stevens, Bishop of Leicester, said that the question now is how the bill can be strengthened in a number of aspects, such as the rights of children and how fidelity in marriage is defined.
"If this Bill is to become law, it is crucial that marriage as newly defined is equipped to carry within it as many as possible of the virtues of the understanding of marriage it will replace. Our focus during Committee and Report stages in the coming weeks and months will be to address those points in a spirit of constructive engagement," Stevens said.
Gay marriage is an issue that has evoked dividing opinions among the general public – a 2012 poll found that 78 percent of respondents believe Britain is tolerant of gay and lesbian people, with 43 percent supporting gay marriage, another 32 percent backing civil partnerships for gay couples, and 16 percent remaining opposed to both same-sex marriage and civil partnerships.

ATLANTA – Jan. 13, 2011 – During the Jan. 29 game at Lehigh, members of the Holy Cross men's basketball coaching staff will take part in Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers awareness weekend, a collaborative initiative of the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) that empowers coaches, their teams and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer. The Crusader coaching staff will wear sneakers instead of dress shoes with their suits during the game to demonstrate their support for the American Cancer Society and its vision of a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Holy Cross fans are encouraged to also wear sneakers to the game this weekend to show their support.
By lacing up sneakers with their suits on the event's seventh annual awareness weekend, college and high school basketball coaches across the country will spotlight the fact that while cancer remains a major health concern, everyone can take daily steps to reduce their risk of the disease. For those who do not smoke, weight control, exercise and a healthy diet are the best ways to improve health and reduce cancer risk. In the U.S., overweight and obesity contribute to 14-to-20 percent of all cancer-related deaths.
Increasing evidence also points to being overweight as raising the risk for cancer recurrence and decreasing the likelihood of survival for many cancers. The prevalence of obesity in the United States more than doubled between 1976-1980 and 2003-2004, and although rates appear to have stabilized by 2005-2006, more than one third of U.S. adults – more than 72 million people – are obese. Overweight and obesity are of particular concern in minority populations, with higher rates of both reported for Hispanic men and women and for African American women, than for non-Hispanic white adults.
"Coaches vs. Cancer is a vital link between the basketball community and the American Cancer Society's commitment to saving lives by helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures and by fighting back against a disease which has taken too much," said Stephen L. Swanson, 2010-2011 national volunteer chair, American Cancer Society Board of Directors. "Like so many of us, these coaches have a personal connection to cancer. And, because of their visibility in their communities and nationwide, they also have a unique and invaluable opportunity to reach people with important information about how they can reduce their risk of cancer, particularly by maintaining a healthy weight and by being physically active."
"We may be battling on the court night in and night out, but as coaches, we're on the same team when it comes to reminding our basketball community and our fans about taking an active role in reducing our risk of cancer and in fighting back on behalf of those who face a cancer diagnosis," said Lon Kruger, UNLV head coach and Coaches vs. Cancer Council member. "Suits and Sneakers awareness weekend is all about challenging us all to get involved in the fight for every birthday threatened by cancer in every community."
Thanks to the dedicated efforts of college and high school coaches and fans throughout the nation, Coaches vs. Cancer participants have raised more than $60 million since 1993 to help the American Cancer Society fund groundbreaking cancer research, provide up-to-date cancer information and education, advocate for public health policies that benefit communities, and deliver services that improve the quality of life for patients and their families. Additional information is available at coachesvscancer.org.
Several events throughout 2011 will continue to highlight the productive work of Coaches vs. Cancer, including Fight Cancer In Style – an event for coaches' wives during NCAA Final Four weekend, April 2-4 in Houston; the annual Coaches vs. Cancer Golf Invitational, June 12-13 at The Ocean Course, Kiawah Island (S.C.) Resort; and the annual 2K Sports Classic benefitting Coaches vs. Cancer (12-team nationwide basketball tournament) in November.
The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; by helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation's largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing more than $3.5 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year. To learn more about the American Cancer Society or to get help, call 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.

The property consists of nearly 600 wooded acres which include a total of 5 buildings including the lodge, veteran's retreat home, modern horse barn, granary, and large garage. In recent years, a veteran's pavilion, conference/recreation center with full commercial kitchen and a caretaker's cabin has been erected on the property.

Fast, simple, and beautiful: MendelMax 2.0
The new MendelMax 2.0 is a complete reinvention of the MendelMax. It makes the MendelMax faster to build, easier to source and even better looking than before.
When I designed the original MendelMax, I had no intention of selling kits, so I put little thought into the manufacturability. Once I started selling kits, it rapidly became apparent that printed parts are great for small scale production, but became a limiting factor as demand grows.
To address that, I wanted to consider other ways of producing that parts; however, I was not willing to go the way that other RepRap sellers are by moving to closed or pseudo-open source (open, but using proprietary parts). My goal was to design a 3D printer that was easy to manufacture in large quantities and still fully printable (though the exact details may vary between the printed and non-printed versions).
While bouncing ideas around, I looked at a variety of ideas like bent sheet metal before deciding to use flat aluminum plates. The beauty of this design is that not only are the plates printable and machinable, but you can also make the parts at home with readily available home-shop tools, no CNC equipment required.
Ease of Assembly
While ease of manufacturing was a prime motivator, it was not the sole goal. I also wanted a design that lowered the barriers of entry as much as possible. After supporting the MendelMax for a year, I've identified several of the hard parts people face in getting their printer up and running. Throughout the design process, I tried to keep those lessons in mind and designed for ease of assembly.
Some examples of how the MendelMax 2.0 makes things easy:
- Inexpensive, easily sourced linear rails on the x and y-axes
- Easy to use belt tensioners on the x and y-axes
- Wherever possible, tapped holes in the aluminum, rather than nuts
- Machined parts eliminate warped, cracked parts and incorrectly sized holes; and assure proper alignment and squareness
The frame: New upright, open design
The MendelMax 2.0 includes a completely redesigned frame, made from aluminum extrusions and primarily flat plates. These plates can be cut from aluminum, printed, laser cut from plastic, or hand cut with a scroll saw or a coping saw (making this arguably the most accessible DIY reprap ever). Unlike previous "RepStraps", when made with care, a hand cut MendelMax 2.0 will virtually function identically to a custom machined one. There is no longer a reason to see your hand built machine as merely a means to an end.
For those of you who have a printer, the design remains fully printable, though a few parts need to be modified for printability due to strength and rigidity requirements (in particular the x ends). I hope to have printable parts available by the time I release the sources. The base ends are not printable, but you can substitute the lower base corners from the MendelMax 1.5 and use 340 mm extrusions to get a printable equivalent.
Triangles are a smart choice for the gantry, both functionally and aesthetically. From a design standpoint, I wanted the MendelMax to still be visibly a Mendel descendent, while not letting the shape get in the way of improvements. By switching to a right-triangle design, the MendelMax 2.0 gains ~50mm more z-axis movement (the exact amount will depend on your extruder choice). The new design results in a very open, unobstructed print area.
The z-axis stepper motors and lead screws have been moved to the inside of the frame, while the efficiency of printer footprint to print volume has significantly improved. This change looks great and results in a larger build volume relative to the overall footprint of the bot.
The power supply and electronics are mounted within the frame, under the printbed.
Linear rail X&Y, new y bed frame, and new carriage
The new MendelMax 2.0 now has a linear rail-based axes for both the x and y. This makes movements smooth and quiet, requires less maintenance, and makes assembly even simpler. Traditional linear shafting is one of the biggest sources of problems on home built 3D printers: the shafts need to be perfectly straight, perfectly aligned and extremely consistent in diameter. Even the slightest variation can cause binding or increased friction. Switching to rails adds a bit to the upfront cost, but it saves significantly in the end, both through faster assembly and configuration times, and with faster print times due to the lower friction.
For the x-axis, a key design goal was maintaining backwards compatibility with older extruder designs. Most linear rail x-axis designs switch to a vertical layout, which limits the extruders you can use, or they sacrifice y-axis build area by mounting the extruder off center. By carefully choosing the correct rail for the job, the MendelMax 2.0 maintains a horizontal x-axis design that still allows use of almost any extruder and hot end design.
The y-axis features a new rail when compared to the 1.5+; it is cheaper, lighter and has an adjustable car system. It also features a new three-point bed leveling system, making for easier bed leveling. The print bed utilizes a heater, heat spreader, and glass with a larger print area than the MendelMax 1.5+, as well as most other RepRaps.
Of course like all MendelMax versions, my version is not intended to be the only variant. If you prefer linear shafting or you want to experiment with some other design for the x and y-axes, I encourage you to experiment!
When is it coming?
The MendelMax 2.0 was developed with the intention of it being both an Open Source project and a product sold by my new company Maker's Tool Works. The current plan to do a batch of beta kits to work out any bugs, and then release the sources when version 2.0 is released, probably in Early February. The exact OS license is to be determined, but it will likely be CC-BY-SA. Sources will remain closed during the beta phase, but I am happy to work with adventurous DIYers who don't mind being on the cutting edge. Just contact maxbots for more information.
Thank you!
I greatly appreciate the community that has supported this project over the last year. It has been an eventful year, for myself, for the community, and for 3D printing in general. Without your contributions to previous versions, requests for features, and ideas shared with me through our Google Group, Wiki, and FreeNode IRC chatroom, the MendelMax would not be the printer it is today. I look forward to working with the community as the design is tested, finalized, and released.
Happy holidays to everyone!

One major attraction on this tour will be riding up to the Arctic Circle.
this is the basic on the route i'll be riding;
Basics stuff on the bike :
Corbin seat, Cox radiator guard, Nelson riggs strap tank bag, Firstgear saddle bags, Michelin Roads 3, Crampbuster... thats all i can think of now. will add on to list later.
made adjustment on rear suspension for the extra luggage.
also swap out my tinted visor on the Arai back to clear for better visibility ,cause i know it's going to rain.
Street Mode
camping stuff
all saddle up.
basic rundown on what im packing: blue roll is my sleeping pad, green bad contains my sleeping bag, orange bag contains clothes,underwear & 1 person tent. camera tri-pod

day 1, i woke up a bit earlier than what i had set my alarm to.being very excited to start my adventure ride, the time was around 6 am.. i believe. i suited up ate a quick breakfest and i was on the road by 6:30.
with already a full tank of gas, i depart anchorage with no fueling, the weather was, cloudy and a bit rainy.. well yes it was wet, but i was warm and dry. with proper gear , i embrace this awesome Alaskan weather.
the time had read and my odo was ..when i left my house.
Simple 40- 45miles cruise up north, as all the commuters are making there way south on the glenn highway.
45 miles ish into the trip i top off my gas in Palmer,AK.
stomach acted up, so also took a momment to recycle :bootyshak
thru a leg over and back on the road, next stop would be in Eureaka, which is in between palmer and Glennallen..
this photo was taken sometime in between that , as i stop and drink and took photos, also tried out my $10 slingshot i bought just incase i got bored. wasnt very good at aiming..
back we on the CBR. ...weather had gotton dry at this point .
nice in quiet in Eureka, stay there for no more than 10 mintutes , fuel up and took a few shots and back on the road north towards Glenallen.
TIME: 11am, 181 miles into the tripe, pulled into Glennallen, fuel up and ate a few snacks.
also meet a few other riders, two cruiser guys , i believe form Ohio and somewhere and another harley guy who was riding from Tennessee(headed toward Valdez as well to catch the ferry ride).
those two cruiser guys weren't actually together , but the story was they met somewhere upper north, and they were actually heading towards Anchorage so the tag along, BUT one of guys starter on his bike has failed on him, so the other one was pushing him to start. funny. they were deff done for the day and was ready to get some rest. the Starter issue guy's bike had over 200k miles..with its original starter.
back on the road as i fuel up .
next stop was to the campground which is about 40 miles from Glennallend and about 79 miles from valdez..so it was kindA between.
Reached Tosina lodge and setup my camp, weather was cloudy but nice and dry. food,fuel, and such services was available here, tent camping was also free.
i have decided to setup up camp first and then unload some of my stuff and the head towards valdez. After settling down and ate a bit. i head towards Valdez. time was probably around pm ish.
it was another 80 miles till i reached Valdez, as i gotton close to Thompson pass, and the mountains...wet..wet..rain. heavy rain started pourng...this is going to be fun!!
miles mile i ridden next to the Alaska Pipeline, which carries oil all the way from Prudhoe bay and ends at Valdez , the scenic ride was awesome, but would had been much better if it was dry and sunny
didnt see much wildlife as i expected, but as i was heading towards valdez, a moose did cross my path, saw him about 200 feet away and gave him "break"
by now i am riding in rain and passing thru Thompson pass..which has an 2k feet elevation(refer to pics), honestly i didnt felt like if me and my bike was that high, but oh man the scenic was nice, lots and lots of vegetation, felt like as if i was riding the moutains in Iceland. ..but again there was tons and tons of rain so i really didint stop much and take picture. was way to wet, that really killed it i think...ohh and as ya can see on the pics, there was lot of time where the road got really misty and fogging white, visibility was low.
my Arai kept foggin up . shame on Arair. so i kept the lid 1/4" open , oh and why cant helmets have battery operate visor wipers..?:retard:
arrived , and it was still raining , honestly i didint do much. just hung around for a bit and also went to the laundry mat and dry up my gloves cause water got in it a bit.
it was a nice small town tho.
behind me is the AK pipeline;
Left Valdez and head back to camp, sleep the night and got ready for Fairbanks. :cruising:
day 2
got lazy, and slept a bit longer, woke up around 8 am and pack and loaded up the cbr.
now it was back to Gennallen for fuel and take off north to Fairbanks.
so i then fuel up, plan was to stop in a town call Paxson, then stop in Delta Junction and the arrived at Fairbanks...
again this was a scenic ride with just little minor construction going on, as i rode and arrive at Paxon. come to find out there gas pump was out of order, and i was like oh shoot were dead..this was half way into the stretch already and the next gas stop wasnt till delta Junction which was another 80-90 miles ish. .i had a 1 gal gas jug ,but while at Glenallen i didnt fill it up cause i have thought that i wouldnt need it. at this point i was like we are going to gun all the way till we reached delta jct of until the bikes runs out of fuel... and FYI this stretch from Glennallen to Delta was 150 miles ..according to Google maps,
and then the weather turns to crap.. more rain and fog.. which again killed the scenic drive and again i felt like i was in Iceland riding thru the beautiful mountains.
i then see the sign. it read Delta Junction 60 miles.
i look at my gas gauge and i have 2 out of the 7 bars left on my gas read.
im just thinking , i am going to be stranded soon.

left with about 20 ish mile, my last bar on my gas gauge has started blinking.
all at the end ive reached Delta jct with little gas, lucky me!!
From delta , wasnt much, just fuel myself up and the bike, and took off to Fairbanks.. which was another 90 ish miles west.. weather had gotton dry, thanks goodness.
Again, on the road..a moose and its calf crossed my paths, but there was plenty of time to give them to cross.
by the time ive reached fairbanks, i think,,..think the time was around alte afternoon. like 4pm or someN.
first thing i did was stop at Mayflower buffet and fill myself up, yum food.
then headed towards my camping sie; Chena riverside campground,, a bit pricey imo, it was $17 per night for tent camping, but all good, they had drinkable water, wifi and nice clean restrooms..
set up camp ...
behind me was another gentlemen (harley cruiser).. i believe he rode from Utah, spoke to him and he was also heading to the Arctic circle the next day as me.
after camp was set up, i rode to the Pioneer park, its an historical park , was pretty awesome,. kinda made me wish the town was still like how it look back then
continuing from where i left off ...Fairbanks, Alaska
so the 1st night in Fairbanks, got done setting up camp , and the time is now about 6 or 7pm evening. i drove about 5 miles from my camp site to the Pioneer parks.
historical theme park. very nice and lots lots of hiistory behind it. but dont ask me , i wouldnt know much.ahah
here are some pictures:
this is a Grizzy brown bear, theyre awesome big (that's what she said)
this is a ship:
some pirate lady, hand carved out of wood. sicK art skills
more pics of the pioneer park will be posted after the story.
after checking out the place i return back to site, and got some good rest for tomorrow..Arctic Circle !!
good morning nuttynu !
i woke up hmm maybe around 7am, look at the Harley guy behind me and shoot he is already gone to the arctic circle (not that i wanted to go with him but..)
yeah, so anyways i get the tent down and pack all my gear onto the awesome CBR..hmmk should i cook? nope, didnt want to eat can food, so after leaving the site . i headed down to Denny's. it is the most northern Denny's.
got some good ole breakfest and drink there.
yack yack 2wheel conversation going on behind me. so i turn and 3 gentlemen sits, i ask them where they are riding from, and they said.. i forgot, but it was from the lower 48s states. they were also heading to the Arctic Circle.. and i think they might also was heading to the top; Prudhoe bay.
nice chat and on my way. the toughest part of the trip ..
i head to the last gas stop in fairbanks , top of my bike and also yes this time filled up my extra 1 gal gas jug, grab a few extra drinks and threw them into my saddlebags.
i stop and think and ask myself.." hmm dude am i really wantting to do this? ride in gravel dirt to the Arctic circle..shoot should i just turn back ...hm think think"
HECK no, i am doing this ride no matter what stops me. its my dream . and all that mind talk was left behind. time is around 8 ish AM by now and on the Steese highway i go.. ride ride

the time is prolly early 9a, already and i finally take off from Fairbanks to head to the Arctic Circle.
this is about 700 miles into my trip,and where its at when i left for the Arctic circle in Fairbanks.
So from the end of Fairbanks, i rode the Steese highway which then turns into the Elliott highway and at the end of that , it turn into the Dalton Highway. and this is where the fun begains.
so from fairbanks to the start of the Dalton highway, it is all paved and this stretch is abou 80 miles ish.
about 20 miles into the Elliott highway,lonely quit road
During this Elliott highway, it started raining and got really foggy and misty on as i reached higher elevations. but then of course it was early morning.
After about 80 miles , you finally reach this sign, and this is where you can turn back or ride the dream of a lifetime!!!
hahaha, im was very happy and excited when i saw the Dalton highway, but i was a bit scare as well hearing all them stories about sport bike not making due to not have the right tires as a ADV bikes does.
so there i rode, swallow up and took the cbr into the dalton highway, it was early morning and the dirt was a bit slushy and wet.
YIKES . the bikes say yuck and started slippy out, but then i slow down and stable the bike a bit and there we go . First few miles i took it really slow and practice braking and turn in the dirt, and how the bike would re-act. it was pretty good. oh and guess what ?!!
the first 3 miles into the Dalton i was riding with no visibilty alt all, i mean it was like a ghost road with foogy . a bit spooking. i was also tailgating and following an RV. :)
here are some pics, don't be scare.
after 5 miles ish into the Dalton, we stop for construction, was about 15 minute wait, not bad. couple in the RV, came out and offer me coffee , also tourist that were heading to the Arctic circle as well.
what my tires look like at the first construction stop;)
After abotu 15 minutes in construction zone, we then had a pilot car take us thru the zone which was about 5 miles or so, this was the only construction i had on this trip on the dalton. After we got done being escort by the pilot car, i pulled over to let all the trucks and semi go thru , and also took some photos while i was at it. :)
yum, do not be OCD about being clean at all .lol
okay, here we go again . back on the road, so from here it was about another 40 mile i think till we reach the Yukon lodge, gas and service is available there. as i ride the dalton is now hard packed dirt and isnt that bad at all , and let me inform you that this section of the daltons also have have good stretches of paved road, so its not all gravel the way.
out of the whole ride on the Dalton, not a single wildlife that i've seen, sucks right.:(
there was plenty of semi hauling to and from the dalton as well. they were very friendly and slow down when they saw me, i also gave them plenty of room to pass.. REspects!
so arriving to the Yukon, you MUST fuel up here . you can also get food and rest here. rooms were available. i think gas was like $5 bucks a gal. whoosh.

not your typical gas pump.
can you say DIRTY
all fuel up and ready to go, okay so from the Yukon, it is 60 to the the Arctic Circle , and from the Arctic circle, it is another 60 miles form there to Coldfoot,AK.
i then take off , and again, back on hard gravel, and at this point im already use to is and was riding about 55mph perfectly, lots of great scenery but yet no wildlife, the Alaska pipeline was within sight.
so i am going to guess here, but about 10 miles til the arctic circle the road is paved again. easy 65mph and fun.
Here i am , finally at the Arctic Circle, i cant believe i made it!!!!:cruising:
arrived at Arctic circle , went to use to restroom , came back out and i was surrounded by BMW GS. these guys just came back from Deadhorse and were heading to Fairbanks, they were pretty shock to see a a sport bike out here.
we chat for a bit and then they were on there way back..
awesome riders, and they also did not recommend me going all the way up to Deadhorse due to that up there, there was much more worse mud road.
i chilled here for about 30 minutes, drank, took pictures and video , and on my way to Coldfoot i went. now from here to coldfoot , it is 60 miles and it is all paved. you can turn back to Yukon , or go up more to Coldfoot, i did that .
to be continue.... :cruising:

enjoy the Arctic circle area, and now i am headed another 60 miles north to Coldfoot, Alaska.
this 60 miles stretch is all PAVED.
rode, rode thru here and again not a single wild life out here, blehh, and again no service until coldfoot. took it at a decent 65mph pace. fun fun :cruising::cruising:
arrive at Coldfoot around 4 ish in the afternoon.
I stop at this main restaurant and got lunch, nothing much to do here, but this is one of the main stop for people going up the Dalton,lots of truckers stop here too, great place and food.
place to sleep,food, gas service is available here.
oh and if your planning to keep going up north , this is the last place for all service until the next 240 miles!!!
yummy food
i was suppose to sleep in Coldfoot, but i dont know for some reason i just decided not to.. maybe it was cause all my gears was like in mad dirt. but anyways. i then now made a long stretch back to Fairbanks. the time was already 5pm, so i knew i was going to be late by the time i pull into Fairbanks, so i gas up and headed down the road once again.
Coldfoot story: so i ask the hot waitress why they called this place Coldfoot. the story was..long time ago. some people came here in serach for gold. but they found none and at that time winter i guess. they had coldfoot. so they then left the place and move on. then came another group of people. and they struck rich by finding gold and this place bloom back then!!! the end. lol
So i ride ride now. back on my baby and we are now on the Dalton back Fairbanks, my plan was head into Fairbanks. and go back to the campground , and sleep for the night.
rode, and by the time i got near back to the Yukon, the weather actually got really nice and sunny. i did stop and made some videos and also took pics.
again just a nice ride and very peacefull enjoying the Dalton.
by the time 9pm or so. i have exited the Dalton. whoo hoo i had a blast and felt pride.
so now it was just another 80 miles of paved road on the Elliott highway back to fairbanks. fun fun and i gun it from here, crusing a good 75mph.
pulled into the same campground i sleep in Fairbanks around 10 pm ish,.
rush to set up my tent and crash to sleep, it also started raining by then.

SummN the end of the trip
after a night in fairbanks, it was pretty much a home run bach to anchorage. i decided not to camp no more and rode back, nothing much exciting . just nice long chill ride by my self. it rain here and there but was an awesome ride.
note to side after two week from this ride, i did it again except i didn't make the arctic circle run, and i went to the Chena hot springs instead, it was a weather better turnout.

Officials with the Westboro Baptist Church have said that they plan to protest a Holland Marine's funeral on Saturday, August 11th.
In statements, they have claimed that the deaths of US soldiers are God's way of punishing the country for accepting homosexuality.
On Monday President Barack Obama signed a law requiring protesters be at least 300 feet from military funerals, two hours before and after the events. Violators could face fines and up to two years in prison.
James Holmes, the alleged gunman in the Aurora, Colo, movie theater shootings was back in court today. The former doctorate student was formally charged with 24 counts of murder and 116 counts of attempted murder for the July 20th attack during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises, in which 12 people died and another 58 were injured.
Clouds gathered above the Aurora cinema after Sunday night's vigil for the victims in the tragic 'Dark Knight Rises' shooting, believed to be shaped like an angel. Crystal Fuller snapped a photo of clouds and wrote on Facebook:
"I took this picture last night after I left the vigil…Looks like an Angel in the clouds above Century 16. Touching!"
Earlier this week, according to TMZ.com, the first lawsuit involving the Colorado shootings has been filed. The man who filed the lawsuit is a man named Torrence Brown Jr. who was not shot, but his best friend was killed during the massacre, and he says he is suffering from "extreme trauma."
Since the horrific shooting at an Aurora, Colorado movie theater last Friday, pleas have gone out that Batman himself visit the injured and the victims' families. Online campaigns in the form of facebook groups like Christian Bale, visit the children who were injured in Aurora shooting cropped up and individuals posted their own messages in status updates urging the caped crusader to head to Colorado to show "heroes can be real too, not just the bad guys" . On Tuesday, Christian Bale answered the call.
Miracles do happen. A church pastor who counseled parents post-Columbine has offered a detailed update about the status and prognosis of one of the victims of last week's Aurora, CO massacre at a midnight screening of 'The Dark Knight Rises.'
The victim survived due to a brain defect that she didn't even know she had.
James Holmes, the suspect in the Aurora, Colo. shooting during the midnight screening of 'The Dark Knight Rises,' which left 12 dead and 58 other injured, appeared in court Monday.
So, what happened?
Sometimes in the wake of a tragic event, the only thing a person can do is just throw caution to the wind and continue to live life.
That is exactly what 16-year-old Justin Davis did – after less than a day since narrowly escaping the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting, the hardcore Batman fanatic got himself back in front of the big screen at another Colorado theater to finish 'The Dark Knight Rises.'

your backyard trials setups?

What a cool thread.
When all my ducks are in a row and I have a job and permission from the wife to buy a mono, I would like to build a very small backyard setup here, as there is only so much space.
But then I have only once spent about 15 minutes on a trials bike..... last week, now I want one.
I am also way overweight at the moment, and should lose at least 10kg before really buying a bike..... and I will have to get fit.
This was me getting hooked on something I have always wanted to do.
Not sure the wife will let me use the lawn, but behind the bush there is a bit of concrete that has been opened up now, and could keep a couple of small beginners obstacles.
All these things have been removed since we moved here. Pic was taken when previous owner still lived here.
Currently looks like this, except that I moved the firewood for the coming winter to behind the garage to dry out over summer.
I would hope to just do figure eights, a couple of log ramps and a pallet etc.
If I can get the local farmers permission to build a few obstacles, and maybe pay him a yearly fee, or per entry, I would love to get into the small wood in the distance behind the first pic, it also has a stream that runs through there, and a foot/tractor path.... so perfect. If the farmer agrees.
This is the current status of the concrete in front of the garage

Winning The Battle With Fibromyalgia
"Agonizing pain, debilitating fatigue, joint stiffness and sleep deprivation-you name it and I felt it," says Halstead. "There I was in Iraq, responsible for over 20,000 military men and women, and I privately struggled to physically keep myself going."
Initially, Halstead was prescribed every drug imaginable, though the pills only masked the pain and resulted in a spiral of reactions affecting her psychological and physical health. It wasn't until a close friend suggested chiropractic that she was able to find relief and return to a normal, nearly pain-free life. She discovered that the comprehensive treatment of chiropractic care improves joint motion, reducing and in some cases eliminating the pains and symptoms associated with fibromyalgia - such as fatigue, sleep deprivation and depression.
"Chiropractic treatment helped improve my whole outlook on dealing with this chronic ailment," she says. "The spinal adjustments along with the postural and nutritional advice I received helped to treat the fibromyalgia and allowed me to have many days with minimal pain -- and most days without any medications. The care of a doctor of chiropractic was life changing for me."
Today, Halstead is a spokesperson for the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to raising public awareness of the benefits associated with chiropractic care. Brig. General Halstead has made it her personal mission to educate others suffering with fibromyalgia - and to consider consulting with doctor of chiropractic, as she did.
"Chiropractic care is a viable option that can positively impact overall wellness and health," she concludes.

Hi Prof Ooi
for qn 15 will there be a chance that the time quantum be reduced so much that interactive jobs will not have a chance to block for I/O within the short time quantum? This would mean that interactive jobs gets lower priority as the algorithm recognizes them as CPU intensive jobs
Prof, need your guidance:
(a) disabling and enabling interrupts – nothing will happen.
(b) peterson's algo – during the proc's second attempt to enter, if another process wants to enter too, the second process may get to enter and thus mutual exclusion violated. If not, the original process will re-enter the CR which is not big of a deal.
(c) test & set – deadlock will occur. The second time it tries to enter, it fails to set the lock and goes back to the start and wait to try to set the lock again, which means it lock itself out of CR. And that means no other process and unlock it.
(c) assigning time quantum of highest priority job as the time quantum for all jobs – the RT of interactive jobs will improve. this is because the time quantum for all jobs is shorter, more jobs get prempted sooner, more jobs get considered as cpu-bound, hence only the "highly" i/o jobs get to stay at top of priority –> RT improve.
(d) depends on the nature of the cpu, i/o jobs. But i would guess, improve? Not very sure.
Loke Yan Hao:
13(b) I don't think mutual exclusion will be violated for correct implementation of peterson algorithm.
Below are my explanation. Assume that one process managed to enter the critical region for the first time and need to call enter() for the second time.
a) If no other process is waiting to access critical region, since none of the other processes' interest is set (false), the calling process will enter critical region.
b) If other process is waiting to access the critical region, one of the process will be selected to access the critical region based on the turn it set to. The calling process will have to wait for its turn to access the critical region. Although enter() maybe called twice in each of the process, it will still not result in deadlock.
Process A and B wished to enter the critical region.
A call enter() first time, attempt to enter critical region.
B call enter() first time, B wait for critical region
A call enter() second time, set turn to B
B attempt to enter critical region.
B call enter() second time, set turn to A
A enter critical region.
B wait for it turn.
A leave.
B enter critical region.
yes i think u r right on this. i made the mistake of thinking that only one process will call the buggy peterson's algorithm. i forgot that the buggy code is shared by all processes trying to enter.
Loke Yan Hao:
13(b) I don't think mutual exclusion will be violated for correct implementation of peterson algorithm.
I'm not expert, and I wanted to ask also. what if process A edit variable value in the critical region before calling enter again?
A do count++ then called enter again
B entered and do count++ then some operation to do with count.
B leave
A enter and continue with a wrong count value
There is race condition but does this mean it did not ensured mutual exclusion?
for 15(d)
i think average RT will deprove..
new interactive processes that come in need to wait for the earlier interactive process to run whenever the earlier ones are ready. hence contribute to higher RT
i'm assuming RT only considers the period from job submission to job starts to run.
Yeah if we regard each command of an interactive job as seperate jobs, then the response time will go down.
I was assuming we can't do that lol..

Winning applicants will be paid for the work they perform at various sites, Moon said.
Youths are eligible if they participate in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, are income eligible or qualify under the Workforce Investment Act, or are enrolled in the Eastern Shoshone Tribe.
Applicants also must be enrolled or previously enrolled in school. They will have to provide verification of attendance and submit to drug testing. The last day to apply is May 23.
The 477 Program also offers job placement and training scholarships for students interested in a two-year technical degree program. Applicants must be enrolled members of any federally recognized tribe and be eligible for the Pell Grant. The maximum award amount is $5,000, and the deadline to apply is June 1.

The Board Chairman of the Liberia Airport Authority (LAA), Mr. Musa Bility, has disclosed that the Board has already commissioned an independent audit regarding the operations of the dismissed Managing Director of the LAA, Ms Ellen Corkrum.
According to Mr. Bility, the audit covers the period between September 2012 and January 2013. At the same time, the LAA Board Chairman also disclosed that the LAA has been engaged by the General Auditing Commission(GAC) for an audit for the period between 2006 and 2012.
The LAA Board Chairman's comments were contained in a press statement he delivered this week. His press statement was in response to a press conference held by Ms Corkrum and one Mr. Melvin Johnson last week in Monrovia. During that Press Conference, Mr. Bility said they(Ms Corkrum and Mr. Johnson) made a series of allegations that, in some instances, bordered on rumors, slander, libel, and defamation of character and in other instances, pure speculations. Mr. Bility further said that the dismissed LAA Managing Director implicated him(Bility) to financial impropriety at the LAA.
Responding to the press conference, the LAA Board Chairman threw out a challenge to Ms Corkrum to provide evidence implicating him to financial impropriety at the LAA.
The LAA Board Chairman made it clear that he holds nothing personal against Ms Corkrum, adding: "if she claims to have evidence implicating him in any wrongdoing, I invite her to submit that evidence to the appropriate Authority for investigation and action."
It could be recalled that on January 28, 2013, the LAA Board terminated the services of Ms Corkrum. The LAA Board's action was occasioned by a resolution by a unanimous vote of the assembled quorum during its January 28, 2013 meeting. The Board averred that Ms. Corkrum was dismissed because she supposedly breached her duties and obligations to the LAA in sharp contravention of her terms of reference. But Ms Corkrum is quoted by a newspaper as denying any wrong doing in the execution of her duties at the LAA.

text: After I made several cards using the free download from CTMH, I decided to go a different direction. Using a 6x6 canvas and a new paper packet (Laughing Lola), I made this fun little canvas display. I love the black glitter paper behind the paper to give it a little shine and sparkle!

I don't feel at home in a place until I'm surrounded by photos of my family and friends. I came to Spain with an envelope full of prints, but I didn't want to simply tape them on the wall. I also didn't want to spend a fortune on one of those fancily matted collage frames, either! So I set out to find the perfect do-it-yourself version of what I envisioned.
I scoured Pinterest boards until I found the project I sought to make. It was a lengthy collage of square photos placed over side-by-side foam boards. I chose this not only because it'd match the scale of the double bed that it would hang over, but also because I'm now on an English teacher's budget, and the materials were fairly wallet-friendly.
What you'll need:
One large picture frame (I used a white frame from Ikea)
12 photos for your frame (preferably all in the same size)
- Wrapping paper, wallpaper, construction paper, scrapbook paper, etc., on which to tape or glue your photos
Tape or glue, depending on whether you plan to occasionally swap out your photos
- Wite-out (or any sort of white correction fluid)
Let's get started!
1. Cut your paper to fit the frame. If your frame came with an insert, this is the perfect-sized stencil. If the insert is in a contrasting color, you could even use this as the mat for your photos.
2. Lay your photos out on the paper in a grid. Make sure to look at it from a few different angles to make sure that the images more or less line up. It doesn't have to be perfect, but make sure there are no glaringly off-kilter pictures that will bother you once the collage is hung up.
I first used Post-Its, which is a good option if your pictures are square-shaped (Instagram, anyone?) I found I could eyeball it with my larger pictures and the subtle lines of the paper.
3. Tape or glue your photos onto the paper.
At this point, I felt like the collage was missing some oomph. I decided that each picture should be more defined, so I thought of an easy way to do this without having to restart my project. My simple solution was…
4. Grab the Wite-out pen and use it to draw a border of polka dots around each image. The fast-drying solution helps define each image and won't smudge as you continue to work.
5. With each picture properly outlined, place the collage back into the frame and admire your finished product.
Voila. I'm super happy with the final result – and I can't wait to hang it up. Now, to find a hardware store in my neighborhood!
How have you turned your photo prints into collage (or otherwise) art? Let us know in the comments below!
