We visited this holiday last year and were so won over we decided to visit it again.We arrived at 3.00 but unfortnately our rooms were not ready which was pretty disappointing as we had booked 6 months earlier . However without any prompting we were given drinks and afternoon tea on the house . Not bad for 1 hour delay. This hotel has already had lots of improvements with the reception area now looking very professional. We did not use the pool but it looked fantastic as does the new pub/cinema which will be opened shortly.The hotel staff were very attentive and the rooms were cleaned to a good standard.The restarant food is excellent as is it staff .The position of the hotel is very good and as is the views of the lake. The only minor drawback would be the bar used to do really good cocktails (which are no longer available)and when we visited the stock was a limited ,no pimms for the ladies. less

We booked this hotel for a return break to The Lakes, after many years away.
The location was very well situated. The refurbishment seems to be well managed and newly refurbished rooms are of good quality. Reception staff explained all arrangements well.
However we did not appreciate the apparent emphasis on dog owners since they and their pets seemed to be everywhere, and being above the 'pet friendly' rooms with barking dogs did not appeal as we are not pet owners nor lovers!!!
The Bar menu might have had more choices available.
Bath sheets are too large (not limited to this hotel), there ought to be a middle size.
Generally our three days were not adversely affected but we will not be rushing back!!! less

My husband and I booked a 2night stay in feb as a break from stressful jobs.
The hotel advertised a swimming pool and leisure facilities so we paid more than we would usually have done to stay at the Burnside - Bad Mistake !
At the time of our booking on 19th Feb there was a notice on their website stating that the swimming pool would be closed for 6 weeks from 5th Jan. Therefore it would be reopened on 16th feb so we went ahead and booked to arrive on 20th Feb and expected all the facilities to be available during our stay.
As soon as we arrived we could see no chance of using any leisure facilities - tarpaulin covering one side of the building !
We were then shown our room looking out onto the building work with the constant sound of drilling and hammering ! I immediately phoned reception and we were moved to the other end of the hotel. Reception also told us the facilities would not be ready until March.
I contacted Best Western who own the hotel, and the Burnside management, to say how disappointed we were that they had not updated their website regarding the state of the pool and leisure facilities.
I have since had lots of correspondence with the Burnside and Best Western who have shown a complete lack of support and consideration for the customer.
-The Burnside has continually refused to accept responsibility for the lack of information regarding the pool and in one letter even insinuated that I was telling lies !!!!
-We ended up paying for facilities we did not get - turned out to be just B&B which we could have had much cheaper at another hotel.
- They have continually said that they updated their message before I had booked when it was actually NOT updated until after I complained.
- They also stated they rang us on my husbands mobile to inform us of the pool closure - his phone records show there was NO such call !
- They then tried to say we received a reduction in the cost of our stay because of the pool closure - when it was actually because we booked a 'winter break' on their website - nothing to do with the pool !
The only explanation I can come to is that whoever was responsible for updating the website information, and making the phone call to us, Did Not Do So and has since tried to cover up for their mistakes - backed up by the hotel management !!!!
Best Western hotel chain have given no help what so ever and used the 'opt out' that each hotel is independently owned and managed and therefore they don't get involved !
Dreadful customer service ! less

A friendly hotel with excellent staff and service. The food is of top class quality.
We were lucky enough to have a room with a balcony overlooking the lake which was just perfect.
The hotel is undergoing an upgrade at the moment and I am sure willl be even better once all the work is complete.
The spa and pool area is beautiful and still undergoing changes. I do so hope that once it is done there will be more lighting, as I think as at the moment it is rather too dark.
The parking space is limited in area which meant that the coach we travelled on hard an extremely difficult job of getting in and out. However I am sure this will be addressed in the near future.
A wonderful place to take a break. I thoroughly recommend it. less

A fabulous place to stay near Windermere lake, very quiet, serene and beautiful. The room had a good view. We had booked for three and my daughter had this cute, private space overlooking the lake, felt great. The breakfast spread was good too and the best part was vivacious and friendly staff, they helped us plan our itinerary for the two days in a brilliant manner.It's a lovely 5 minutes stroll to the lake which will definitely refresh your senses. less

Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal
Contributed By Debbie Twigger
- Date
- 26 October - 9 November 2013
The Poppy Appeal is the Royal British Legion's biggest fundraising campaign and runs year-round. Lapel poppies are available to buy in shops, supermarkets, stations and clubs from the last week of October until Remembrance Sunday, or 11 November, whichever is later in the calendar.
It takes 350,000 volunteers and staff to organise the Poppy Appeal each year. Money raised goes to support the welfare work for the Armed Forces community.
Members of the Church in the United Kingdom are invited to participate locally by joining with other members of their stake to help collect monies, organise venues, count funds.
A team of helpers from each ward or stake may be invited to participate, in co-ordination with the local Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal organisers. The event starts on the last Saturday of October, 26th, through to Armistice Day on November 11th.
See your local ward/stake organiser for more details

CRR may drive ITV ad rates up by 10 per cent
By Maisie McCabe, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 02 December 2010 11:10AM
The price of advertising on ITV1 could rise by 10 per cent if Contract Rights Renewal, the restrictions placed on the way ITV sells its airtime, is removed and not replaced by a similar control, according to Steve Williams, the chief executive of OMD.
Williams, also the chair of the IPA Media Futures Group, was speaking to a House of Lords Communications Committee, which is reviewing the regulation of TV advertising. He said: "If you were to put a number on what could happen (if CRR was removed), it could be price rises in the region of 5 to 10 per cent."
He was giving evidence alongside Tom George, the chief executive of MEC, Andy Jones, the chief executive of Universal McCann, and Geoffrey Russell, the director for media affairs at the IPA.
The House of Lords Communications Committee announced it was to review the regulation of TV advertising in July, two months after the Competition Commission ruled that CRR should stay after its own year-long probe.
George said: "Fundamentally, things haven't changed (since CRR was introduced in 2003). ITV1 is still a very important channel within TV as it is has a unique property in that it is able to build coverage very rapidly."
The Lords also asked questions about the role of media agencies, what benefits they offer clients, and whether it would be viable to replace the current way of trading TV airtime with an online auction.

The Non-Immigrant Application Process
Please note that ISSS does not determine job titles (paid/unpaid) or salaries. We are the final stage in facilitating the appropriate visa classification once the department has determined these factors and a prospective employee has been identified. Appointing a foreign national to a position at Temple University can be accomplished only if both federal regulations and the University's own policies permit it. If a foreign national is eligible to be appointed to a specific position at Temple, the University will serve as "non-immigrant visa sponsor" and will issue forms, file petitions with the USCIS, or submit other documents and applications as appropriate to the visa type being arranged. Read more information about various non-immigrant employment classifications. Once a position/title has been established, departments should contact (ISSS). Having the answers to the following questions will facilitate the immigration process:
- Is Foreign National currently in the United States? If yes, is Foreign National already employed by Temple University? If so, what is the foreign national's current job title?
- Type of position you wish to offer? If Faculty, is it a Tenure Track position?
- Minimum Degree Requirement for position?
- Minimum number of years of experience required?
- Term of initial Temple appointment?
- Expected starting date of appointment?
- Foreign national's country of citizenship?
- Has the potential employee applied for Permanent Residence (Green card)?
- Does the foreign national plan to travel abroad at any time in the near future? (This will affect both visa timing and procedure)
Guidebook for Inviting a J-1 Exchange Visitor
Guidebook for Sponsoring an H-1B Temporary Worker
In general, ISSS recommends that non-employee individuals from abroad who will come to Temple to engage in research, lecture, etc. should enter the US as a J-1 Exchange Visitor. Our office has seen too many instances of individuals being turned away at the border when they try to enter with B-1/B-2 (Tourist) or WB/WT (Visa Waiver) status.
Contact Sharon Loughran for assistance with J-1 Scholars, H-1B Employees, E-3 Australian Speciality Workers and TN Temporary Workers.
Contact Martyn Miller for assistance with O-1 Workers
Contact Joan McGinley to bring in a student who will receive academic credit from a University abroad for research performed at Temple [J-1 Student Intern]
Contact Nina Campellone regarding Post Doctoral Fellows and Visiting Research Scholars.
Contact Faculty Affairs for information on hiring Faculty.
Contact your Department's HR Generalist to invite/appoint/hire anyone not listed above.
Contact Karen Ward (the University) regarding TU Sponsorship for a green card. Please note that ISSS is unable to assist with the green card process.

The Five: Best superhero movies of all time
The newest Superman was out in theaters this weekend and the movie has a lot of people talking.
"It's actually good," seems to be the most common reaction, a suggestion that previous Superman movies weren't. And I do mean all of them! Yes, even the original. And before you say it, it has nothing to do with the weak special effects and everything to do with the extreme level of corniness: At one point, Lois Lane provides a poem of her thoughts as she flies about in Superman's arms. It wasn't even a good poem.
Admittedly, I have yet to see director Christopher Nolan's version of the Man of Steel. I will, and mainly because I'm anxious to see if it will crack my personal list of best superhero moves of all time, which happens to be this week's topic for The Five.

Written by Therese Dorau, NACo Program Manager.
County governments can support local construction economies and meet growing demand for green buildings with thoughtfully designed policies, mandatory codes and voluntary incentive programs. Two upcoming webinars will cover these important topics.

Benefits like these, visualized in the Venn diagram below, can be realized through existing building renovations and new construction projects alike.
With such a wide variety of tools, each with pros and cons, how can a county leader decide which is best for their community? Once the right tools are selected, what types of policies, codes or incentives will be most effective? What is the difference between a standard and a code, anyway?
The Green Government Initiative fall webinar series will dig deeper into these questions. Leveraging some of the most knowledgeable national expertise, the first webinar will provide a high-level overview of the best-available building rating systems, standards, and model codes, highlighting recent updates. Then, tapping into NACo members' own experiences, the second webinar will share best practices and common pitfalls of implementing county strategies, and highlight counties where these approaches are being piloted.

text: Yah one more thing ......... from the Irish "Fish, especially trout and salmon, have a special association with holy wells. These fish living in holy wells were thought to possess both eternal life and wisdom; they were the holders of the knowledge of the gods and the Otherworld. We should remember that the fish is and was a universal symbol of the Great Goddess and was taken as a symbol of Jesus and Christianity by the early church authorities to remove a totally Pagan symbol of faith. According to Celtic tradition, fish were thought to be the spirit of a transformed human being that had been trapped in a well and turned into the magical salmon or trout—transformed to become the guardian spirit of that well throughout time. " Remember that when you're hooked up with a native run fish. And read, I think its called. "The Hawk's Well", again by Yeats, on matters of immortality and mortality. otter

Mangal Turbine is a low-cost and efficient 'fuel-less Turbine pump-cum-P.T.O. Machine'. It has an Indian Patent for its uniqueness. Mangal Turbine can be used to harness the energy of flowing water to lift water for irrigation purposes and also carry out many other rural works such as operating various cottage industries, operating flour mill, sugarcane crushing, threshing, oil expelling and chaff cutting. Drinking water can be provided by lifting water from rivers in remote areas in many thousands villages. Power can also be generated by using Mangal Turbine. It requires low water heads up to one meter which can be achieved by constructing low cost check dams or using existing check dams.
Irrigation facility can also be provided to the farmers who are lifting water from rivers and streams by using diesel and electric motor pumps. The cost of lift irrigation can be reduced drastically by using this device. Any machine that helps to avoid the use of diesel and electricity should be greatly welcome in these times of energy crisis and climate change.
Many Lakhs million cubic meters water has been conserved/stored by Mangal Singh without any government help.
There are many water energy driven pumps are available in entire world. Out of them Mangal Turbine is unique, eco-friendly, pollution free, useful, cheapest and efficient. I got Indian Patent first sanctioned in 1997(for 1990 to 2004). After that again for improvement on 20th Oct 2008(for 2004 to 2024). I have no resources to get International Patent.
Mangal Turbine got registered for National Record in Limca Book in April, 2013.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Faye Resnick Calls Brandi Glanville "Disingenuous," Says Adrienne Maloof Shouldn't Have to Apologize
Faye Resnick took to her Bravo blog to defend her heated remarks to Brandi Glanville in Season 3, Episode 7 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, saying she wanted Brandi to understand the pain that she caused for Adrienne Maloof.
"I have always known Adrienne to be a woman of great integrity and with one of the kindest hearts in Beverly Hills," Faye wrote, saying that she spoke to her shortly after Mauricio's event. "I called to check on Adrienne and heard the hurt in her voice as she cried on the phone. It broke my heart."
"By raising the issue at the dinner party, I was hoping Brandi would shed some light as to what would drive her to reveal something so intensely personal and private," she continued.
Faye wrote that she tried to offer Brandi "a solution on how to make amends," but that Brandi wasn't receptive. "Brandi's response was confusing. She first said she was sorry for what she said but didn't want to apologize — yet. I didn't understand?" Faye wrote. "If you're truly sorry, you apologize and cleanse your aura."
"But minutes after saying she was sorry she said she wasn't going to apologize because Adrienne hadn't apologized to her. Apologize for what?" Faye asks.
Brandi's joke about Adrienne buying a book deal really bothered Faye, who saw it as a continued attack on Adrienne. "And as far as her telling everyone at the table that 'it's none of your business,' she should have followed her own advice. What business was it of Brandi to involve herself in the most private and personal business of Adrienne and Paul's?"
Faye also wasn't buying that Brandi really meant that she was sorry. "And while afterwards she claims to be 'sorry' for what she said, the harm has already been done, so saying, 'Things just come out my mouth' or 'I'm sorry' time and time again, this behavior becomes disingenuous," according to Faye.
In other words, it sounds like Brandi and Faye won't be patching things up anytime soon.

Home > Skateboarding > decks > Proletariat Skateboards | Hoverboard Deck
In more Back to the Future news, Proletariat Skateboards out of Boston has just unveiled their new "Hoverboard" deck that they are releasing this Friday, 5/16. The graphics and marketing materials look good, with a nice attention to detail, however they were slightly beaten to the punch by Hype Skateboard's out of Dallas' "McFly" deck. You can't really have too many hoverboards though. Detailed looks after the jump.
This is dope!
That's a nice deck! Great mix of all the essentials parts of the original.
definitely a nice compliment to the original. looks good.
This deck is way cleaner than the Hype Deck. That Hype Deck looks wack. The registration is all off and the colors suck. Why even mention it?
why even mention it…it was first? the registration and the colors…have you looked at this red thing? its cool if you work for them bro, \\\\\\\\
Hey!! I want one of these!!
If you have one and are willing to sell/trade…
Lemme know [email protected]
im from the uk and really want to get one of these decks anyone know where i can get one???

- " To us it was a minus that the staff did not understand any English and were not great at understanding Spanish either. The worst part of our stay was that the staff did not know anything and when we had to leave they cheated us from our deposite, so I would not recommend Unreal hostel to anyone! The food was average as can be expected and the bathroom facilities were not the best (only one toilet and two showers in girls bathroom, which created a line for usage). "

My name is Doug. I'm a lot of things, but here, I'm an audio sampler geek. I used to use only hardware samplers in my studio, but at the end of 2003, I started using software sampling. I found it really hard to find information that I could use to help me decide which sampler was right for me. Because of that, I was inspired to buy yet another domain name and start typing! (As if I didn't have enough already...) ;-)
I've recently started studying the Equal Interval System (EIS) composition course, so I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment. As I hear of things, I'll add them here, and of course, if you have anything you want me to add, please send an email or contact me at one of the forums. (See the bottom of this page for more info.)
NOTE: This site may look simple, but it's because I access the web via my Palm Treo 650, and this kind of site delivers a lot of info quickly, without a lot of formatting issues! ;-)
The first word of advice I can give you is that you should choose your sample library before you choose the sampler. Each sample library is created with a certain sampler and stored in sampler specific files. Many times those files can be converted or directly imported into other sampling programs, but not all information is guaranteed to translate properly and you may have to reprogram layers, splits, etc. Also, many sample libraries are now being delivered with sample players, so it may not be necessary to purchase a separate sampler.
As for choosing the library, try to listen to as many demos as you can before choosing. You aren't allowed to resell a lot of sample libraries, so once you buy it, it's yours! Read the license carefully - some libraries have restrictions, such as not using them in movie trailers, and some libraries require that you give credit to them in liner notes. While it is useful to peruse the posts at the various forums, you'll find that there are a lot of rabid fans that will defend their favorite libraries, seemingly to the death! Remember, it is all opinion, and you don't have to take anyone else's opinion as your own. TRUST YOUR OWN EARS!
Another thing to consider is that recently there have been several new software "virtual instruments" that, while sample-based, aren't really samplers per se, because you can't add your own samples to them. (Maybe we should call them "Software ROMplers"?) I'm guessing that most people won't be creating their own samples, so this may not be a big issue. However, if you DO want to create your own samples, make sure that the product you purchase supports that.
I suppose the other thing to consider is copy protection. This is a volatile subject folks! It sucks that there are a bunch of people who don't pay for samples. Because of them, the copy protection battle continues to rage... There are basically two types of copy protection - software-based "challenge and response" and hardware-based "dongles". My personal opinion is that, if I HAVE to have something, I'll take the dongle. My main reason for this is because I had a hard disk failure. Reinstalling dongle-protected software was EXTREMELY EASY! However, challenge-response protected software was a royal pain in my you-know-what to reinstall. Some distributers are reasonable and let you have more than one installation key, but others require you to go through some process to justify getting another response key. On the other hand, there seem to be several people on the various lists that despise dongles. Breakage and loss are probably the two biggest concerns. Some have complained of performance issues with dongles, but I haven't seen any hard evidence to support that claim.
Here are a couple online discussion sites:
Many of the sample makers have their own forums, some of which are only available to registered owners of their products. Check the various web sites for information.
OK, let's get down to it. (Remember what I said about choosing the library before the sampler!) :-)
Recently, there seems to be a trend where a product developer will create what I would call a "wrapper" or "container" application. Sample libraries and virtual instruments are loaded into these applications and used together. Examples are:
Here are some general purpose software samplers that you might want to check out:
Here are some specialized drum/percussion/loop samplers:
Sample conversion programs:
And here are some general purpose audio editors:
And specialized tools:
NOTE: There are a lot of names listed here without links. I'll get around to adding links some day. In the mean time, I figured it was more important to at least include the names. Also, while I have spent a fair amount of money on sample libraries and virtual instruments, I don't own everything listed here, so I may not have everything listed in its optimal place. So, hey, if you're a developer, and you want to help me out with categorizing things, please drop me an email or a PM at one of the forums. (See the bottom of this page for contact info.)
Some sample library sources: (Some of these are library resellers, some are library creators...) Also, see below...
Some free samples:
NOTE: There are LOTS of free samples on the Internet. Check out this thread at the KVR forum.
Some drum and percussion samples and instruments:
Some bass samples and instruments:
Guitar instruments:
Pianos: (As you can see, there are quite a few! More details as I get them...)
Some orchestral libraries (including common abbreviations from the newsgroups):
If you have any suggestions for this site, please email me at doug at softsampling dot com or you can send me a private message (PM) at the VI Control, Soundsonline or Northern Sounds forums. My user name at all of those forums is "Doug Wellington". I'm also "Pasta Lover" at the FSM forum... ;-)

Thats true... probably why I'll never buy a Chevy. =)
I agree its a little boring for all the designs to be so similar, but its a decent design, sales have seemed to prove that.

I've seen quite a few self-promotional threads recently, and while I certainly don't see anything wrong with them, they do seem a bit randomly scattered. Maybe we could consider a specific forum or area for these so they don't begin cluttering the more specific discussions?
Just a thought [:)]

I think that is a great idea ... possibly combined with discussions on chocolate making as most of the people promoting themselves are likely to be chocolate makers?

September is National Preparedness Month and it's aimed to make sure we're all ready to deal with anything from quakes to tornadoes to chemical spills.
The Shelby County Office of Preparedness says you have got to taken ownership of your own survival so you can help others. The first step is learning what events might happen here.
Take your pick and be ready for any of these in the Mid-south. Earthquakes, flooding, hazardous material accidents, power outages, fires and any number of weather events.
A major step in being prepared is having a kit. Make sure you have got enough food, water, documents and supplies to sustain you and your family for at least a week. Designate a safe place for each event.
Wind and tornadoes are powerful storms; get to the inner most room away from windows. In the case of hazardous materials; go to an interior room that's not a basement that can be sealed off. Stay informed and in touch; whether it's through radio, television or social media. Make sure you have means to hear what's going on.
Another way is with an all-hazards radio with battery back up.
Finally, know how to get in touch with your family and that others have a way in case you cannot. Label important numbers in your cell phone as I.C.E. That stands for "In Case of Emergency".
At this point, knowledge is power. Be a buddy and make it a point to help those that need it. The National Weather Service offers SKYWARN classes that train you as a weather spotter. The next one is September 13. You can also participate in community emergency response team training (CERT). Everything is open to the public, for more information visit www.staysafeshelby.us

2012 KTM Fuel Injection & Filter Discussion
Chilly | Jan 16, 2012 | Comments 11
2012 KTM Fuel Injection & Filter Explained
There is quite a bit of chatter going on about issues with the KTM fuel injection systems. While I have not encountered any problems with either the 2011 or 2012 bikes that I have tested, I thought I would look into the issue to see what I could find and hopefully provide some explanation of the system.
The symptoms of a clogged filter are somewhat vague, but generally a poor running condition and/or a bike that will not idle.
On the 2011 fuel injected bikes, 250 & 350 SX-f and XC-f, the bikes have a fuel filter inside the gas tank. Apparently, some issues with clogged injectors arose with those models. For 2012, all fuel injected bikes now also have a secondary inline fuel filter.
So far, it appears that the inline fuel filter may be the cause of more issues, rather than the cure. The 10 micron membrane is so small that it is very prone to clogging. KTM has issued a technical bulletin (TB1202) that directs dealers to replace the 10 micron filter with an updated, larger opening, 20 micron filter. Part of the service bulletin includes updating all 2011 models to run the inline filter.
This is a warranty service. There are a couple of different part numbers for the repair, depending upon the model of the bike. I have included a photo of one of those parts, where you can see the new filters and hose clamp. The OEM clamp is a one-time use crimp on item, so it needs to be replaced.
Changing the inline filer is a fairly simple task. It requires removal of the seat and gas tank. Then the fuel line is removed from the fuel rail with one Phillips head screw. With this apart, you remove the hose camp at the "L" fitting and access the filter.
Reinstalling the fuel line to the fuel rail is a little more difficult. There is very little space to line the L fitting up properly and the orange O-ring needs to be treated with care to avoid damage. A very light dose of grease around the O-ring will help it slide into place. Make sure to place the O-ring on the male end of the L fitting, not inside the fuel rail. Along with keeping a spare filter handy, I would keep a fresh O-ring also, just in case.
Depending on the model, it may be possible to remove the fuel line directly from the L fitting. That would eliminate the need to remove the L fitting from the injector body. Loosening and rotating the injector body may help with the access. On our 2012 500XC-W model, this did not appear possible due to the location of the frame rail and wiring harness. It looks like the placement on the forthcoming "Dungey" edition 450SX-F will be completely different.
Can a repair be made trailside? The answer is yes, but only if the original hose clamp has already been replaced with a reusable one. In an emergency, the inline filter could simply be removed and run without it.
I spent some time talking with RJ Savage at All American KTM in Ramona to see what he could tell me. He has serviced a number of bikes for this already. The first thing he told me was that not a single bike had shown any sign of dirt in the filter. His belief is that this is simply a fuel issue. What is clogging the filter is varnish or other impurities associated with the gas. You can imagine how easy a pilot jet gets clogged with current fuels and with an opening that is hundreds of times larger than a 10 micron filter.
He has also had some success, in emergencies, simply back washing the filter with either gas and/or compressed air. This eliminates having to take the filter assembly apart. RJ recommends the use of a fuel additive to all of his customers. They have tried a couple of different products and like the Star Tron fuel treatment. Another option would be to use Chevron Techtron fuel injection cleaner at a ratio of 1oz per gallon of fuel. All American has had no repeat issues on bikes that have the updated filter.
I know many riders are concerned about the potential of being stuck out of the trail with any kind of problem that may leave them stranded. Like any new technology, there will be a learning curve for the owners about the system and the maintenance that goes with it.
KTM has not issued any specific care instructions regarding this yet. I expect that at some point they will specify a service interval for replacing these filters. As an owner, I would just treat this as a regular maintenance item, to use a fuel treatment regularly and plan to replace the inline filter at regular intervals.

My 11 350sxf recently started running poorly after about 50 hrs. I found a failed orange O ring at the fuel line L fitting to the throttle body. It was visibly torn. I replaced it and the bike ran much better for a few motos and then ran poorly again. Now I have removed the throttle body and found a broken and corroded electrical plug connection to the large black cylinder under the throttle body. One of the two pins in the connector is actually broken off and the seal clearly has failed to keep dirt and water out. Does anybody know what this black cylinder shaped component does?
Owch, that was a little strong wasn't it?
I the sense of fairness, I think I should step up and say few good words in defence of the "exploding pumkins".
My first stint on a KTM was a 2005 new 450EXC. To this day probably the best overall motorcycle I have ever owned. It was fast, comfortable, turned, stopped and depenable as a fixed election in Mexico. 1000's of fun and care free miles (especially in Mexico), just add gas and change the oil every now and then. The funny part was I had just dumped 10 grand into making a 2002 Honda CRF 450 into the ultimate dual sport bike with an Athena cylinder, flywheel weight, taller 5th gear, 18″ rear wheel, hot cam, etc.,etc. That little stock KTM beat the fire beathing Honda like a red headed step child!
Since then I have owned several new KTM's including a 2009 530XC-W and true it wasn't as easy to ride as my old 450 but it was still very reliable.
I think part of KTM's bad relibility rap comes from the fact that lots' of people ride them until they are near death and sell them without keeping up on regular up keep (oil changes, vales adjust, wheel bearings, etc.).
In my humble opinion, KTM's cost a lttle more when you buy them but cost way less and are more fun to ride in the the long run.
I have owned all the major(and some minor)brands of motorcycles and think they are all good if operated as the manufacture intended. KTM is no more guilty of letting one get out the door with a first year squak then anyone else. Don't forget the first year Honda 450X models made better boat anchors then motorcycles.
KTM=Katooms Test Monkey
I learned the hard way long ago when I bought an 08 530 EXC and had nothing but trouble. My bad for getting a first model year from KTM. They use their customers to do the sort of long term testing they should be doing beforehand…just look at all the corrections to the 09, 10, and then 11.
2012 is starting the process all over again. If you haven't learned this thru your own KTM frustration, your buddy's KTM frustration, or the hundreds of forum's of KTM owners frustration then you have nobody to blame but yourself.
I'm back on an early 2000 DRZ that Suzuki didn't need to update or correct for 10 years because they did their testing beforehand. Is my bike heavier and underpowered compared to the current crop. Yes. Is it 1000% more reliable when I'm 100+ miles from the border in the middle of nowhere. Hell yes!
The first time you have to ditch your overpriced KTM and walk 25 miles out you'll come to the same conclusion I did.
Any KTM after the RFS should be closed course rated only because it's not if but when they will leave you stranded with no way back.
Just had my 350 xcw done by Fun Center in Durango, Colorado.
Just went through this on my son's 2012 KTM 250 SX-F . It was a nightmare after $7,000 and a DNF. Just drove 3hrs there and back from the dealer "who didn't know shit,but had the recall parts". Their was also a new spark plug cap,that they said was only for the 250's.
Cory, you have to take it back to the dealer and they will do the recall on this model. They will install a bigger filter (20 instead of a 10). The kit comes with two spare filters, so make sure you get this from them.
I have a new '12 450 xc-w and it is dying constantly with out explanation….it has 2.5 hrs on it…someone suggested I look into the fuel filter issue..I am thinking..what!!!!…this is a brand new $9,000 bike! So someone please tell me how to fix this thing considering the dealer i bought from is 4 hours away and the closest dealer is 2 hours away
I just bought a 12 xcw 450, I ride baja a lot, I'm definitely a little concerned. That was a lot of good info chilly, you-know I will be calling. You definitely know more than the dealers mechanics, you would think they would be keeping them up dated
This same info applies to the Husabergs also. Some updated notes; the original in-line 10 micron filter has also had reports of melting during use. Hopefully the new 20 micron also address's that problem. Some folks have opted for an old school type in line filter placed in the fuel line. I question the necessity of either of those though, as there is an in-line filter immediately after the pump, in the tank, as well as a screen at the inlet of the pump. There have also been many reports of just plain old failed fuel pumps…..know a guy with a '12 350SX whose failed in four hours use, bike was down about three weeks for parts.
Seems what you really need to do is protect your fuel line from debris entering when it is disconnected. As one who suffered a DNF from a clogged injector after traveling from Colorado to Baja, it is very discouraging! Another racer friend of mine suffered a DNF last weekend on a 350SX after traveling from Co. to Glen Helen. Seems he uses a dry break quick fill and dirt entered at that time when he was pitting.
I have heard similar reports about asian bikes having failing pumps also, just seems the KTM's and Bergs are most susceptible. FI appears to be one of those "be careful of what you ask for" things. Many are clamoring for DI on two strokes…….I say ferget about it, keep 'em simple!
I talked to Creg at ACTIONMOTORSPORTS KTM in Decator, TX. They are flushing the fuel tank several times and using the fuel screen that goes in the tank. They keep flushing until there is no dabree left in the screen and then they know the tank is clean before a customer gets the bike. That's is what a good dealer is all about!

Hi. I have a cheap camera and I don't know much about photography so don't expect the artistic value of my photos to be top class. But as a graphic designer I use a lot of photos myself and this is by far the best resource I've come across for free photos. So I try to give something back even if it's mainly poor quality stuff :-)

Series 4 2007
Winner: Leon Jackson
A Scottish accent and a wearyingly fashionable asymmetric haircut were really the only two distinguishing features of this by-the-numbers popster, who achieved the obligatory No1 single before slowly sinking without trace. His career highlight since then was making an appearance on stage with Michael Buble, who really has the elevator-music crooner niche sewn up.

All over the world kids love Super Heroes and action figures in cartoons. Each country has their own, but they all profit from its existence. Kids watch the cartoons, buy the clothes, play with the toys, and remember their favorites into adulthood. This lesson will inspire students to think about their favorite characters from Anime, Manga, Marvel, and Pixar and draw their own character while using the sophisticated computer program called Illustrator. Most of the initial drawing will take place on paper and then the students will have a chance to learn and use from demonstrations given by the teacher to create their own Super Hero. The students will then print on Iron On transfers and adhere to a plain t-shirt.
These characters have been around since the 1930's. Marvel started their comic book business in 1939 with comics about the Human Torch. With the dawn of war on America's doorstep there was a huge leap in character development. Comics almost acted as Patriot Propaganda with their timely characters fighting the evil and preserving safety in our cities. Superman was prime example of bias judgment towards Japan after the attack on Pearl Harbor. There was a whole cartoon series dedicated to defeating the Japanese characters in order to save Lois. The different companies that created comics came and gone over the years, but many generations seem to fall back into them. Marvel's re-emergence was thanks to the movie industry and is in full force. What makes Marvel so interesting is the idea that all of the characters from the different comics can come together because they live under the same Marvel Universe.
Manga is a type of comic style in Japan that was first developed by style of simple wood block prints of people. This later developed with the age of technology coming into play as well as post-war Japan. Magazines were able to function via television and by the 1960's most families had one. Much Manga focuses on Sci-fi themes and stories. Some of the most popular types are Jump, Dragonball, and Slam Dunk. These were stories that really attracted older teens and young adults into reading and still continues today. Today much Manga attracts men, women, and children alike.
Day 1: This day will focus on the discussion and idea building for their drawings. The teacher should start off by opening some YouTube or direct video clips for students. While they are watching pause occasionally to ask a question about the character's look and costume. When the teacher goes on to another clip, ask the students to compare styles in the cartoon itself. Are the characters lucid and rendered or are they blocky and stylized? While asking these questions, write the responses on the board to remind the students later on in the class while they work. For the next portion of class have the students brainstorm in small groups the different role and powers a superhero or action figure has in stories. They should also include any common symbols that represent these figures. For the final activity of the day the students are to start drawing a basic outline of a superhero that either describes them or something they wish they could be. Each student needs to develop a figure with costume and symbol that represents their superhero/action figure, like batman has a bat. Also introduce that these finished drawings will be iron on's after drawing in Illustrator to put on t-shirts.
Day 2: (will be in a computer lab) Students are to come in and finish their drawings if they have not done so already. While some students are finishing the others will take their turn getting their work scanned into the computer system. All images will be saved using their last name and placed into the school's public folder for the day. Once students have scanned their work into the system, hand out a short tutorial for Illustrator while students are catching up so the whole class is on the same page. Allow work time on the tools tutorial.
Day 3 (Lab): Students will log into their computers and wait for the teacher's lead. The teacher is to show students via the projector how to upload the scanned files into Illustrator. Here the teacher will demonstrate to students how to use the brush, pencil, line, and layer tools/pallet to trace/draw in the program. After about 15 minutes of demonstrating, allow students to work. The next day or two may only be workdays. Allow students to finish the outlines of their drawings. If there are trouble-shooting issues, revisit the program with the students to practice with them again.
Day 4: (Lab): After all the outlines are completed, students will be ready to fill some color or add text. This day will be a demonstration about filling color and text. The teacher should keep in mind an appropriate layout for text with an image. Remind students to use the order tool for placing text if it is near the drawing. Work time in program filling color and details.
Day 5: (lab) This day will focus on finalizing the digital drawings. Students should start printing on their iron on paper. If all students are able to print, return to the classroom to iron on the shirts. Leave some time during the next class to finish up.
Day 6: Critique. Instead of having students pin the shirts up to the board, have students put shirts on over their clothing. Put on some music and have a fashion show. Not all students have to participate if they do not feel comfortable, but encourage it and tell them to have fun with it. After this activity, break the class up into groups of 4 or 5 and have the students work on a reflection together talking about each other's designs. Guide some questions, but allow some time for free group reflection.
Art Production: Students design original character inspired by popular superheroes and action figures of America and Japan.
Aesthetics: Students discuss visual and content details of characters to decide what makes a superhero or action figure.
Art History: Students learn the background of comics in America and Japan.
Art Criticism: Students present personal artwork to peers as well as whole class to get feedback on the strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes of their character design.

In Japan in the 17th century a type of entertainment and art was developed: Bunraku. Bunraku is an emotional depiction of a story where a puppet(s) act out and dance a story. There is typically music and a narrator along with the puppets. Each puppet is run by three puppeteers and two are typically covered by black robes. All three work together to create fluid movements, but the Omozukai (or main puppeteer) leads the primary movements of the puppet. All puppets pieces are carved and build from wood, and nearly 4 feet tall, which can lead to the puppet being fairly heavy. Female puppets weigh around 15 pounds and wear a kimono; whereas a male, or ninjo, puppet can weigh up to 45 pounds because of armor. The faces of a each puppet are very intricate. The eyes, eye brows, and mouths can move separately; however, the puppet never speaks for that is blasphemy.
Many stories portrayed by the Bunraku puppets deal with male and female interaction and social roles. Love Suicides at Sonezaki is the Japanese version of Romeo and Juliet.
Day 1: This day will primarily be used for introducing the art and showing the motivational videos. Students will be given a worksheet asking questions about the visual style first and then the next video will ask questions about the sound and music that is going on in the video. The purpose is to have the students thinking about the style of Japan in live performances. Students will then be asked to create their own drawing of a puppet. The puppet can represent them or someone they know, but the figure must have elements of Japan visible.
Day 2: This day is to think about stories. The class will discuss what story elements were noticeable in the works shown the day before. If the students do not remember, revisit and discuss some key plot points and transitions to a climatic point in the story lines. Students will then break up into groups of five. Two students will be writers and three will be storyboard artists. All of the students can come up with a story together, but two will focus on the portions of the storyboard that are not visible. Students should make a general outline and then have the writers work together before the storyboard artists fill in the different scenes. Each story should have:
· At least two characters
· An issue going on between the characters (can be big or small)
· Has up to five props
· Emotion building music
Students are allowed to take a more contemporary stance on the ideas in their story (so it relates to them) but they need to have some Japanese elements, such as a kimono.
Day 3: Today is primarily for working on the storyboard. In the last ten minutes of class all students will present, or pitch, their storyboard to the rest of the class. Each other group is allowed one positive comment and one constructive comment. The comments will be written on paper after each pitch, and the teacher will collect and recite each comment. This ensures anonymity and appropriate behavior in the classroom. The storyboards do not need to be in color.
Day 4: At the beginning of class, each student is to pull out their drawings from the first day of the unit. The groups are to look at each drawing together and see whose character(s) will best suit the story. The students will then come back together and the teacher is to discuss the assignment for the day. He/she will cover what is traditional material for a Bunraku puppet; however, explain what materials the students will be using in place and the process they should follow. Students will be paper macheing their puppet bodies. Some students will be assigned puppet duty while the others will focus on the costumes. The class will be separated into two halves: puppet building and puppet costume. First the teacher will remind students how to paper mache with a demo. Then the teacher will go work with the other half about putting clothing together. Work time for the rest of the day and will continue for three to four days.
Day 5: Students will all work on the background that works for all themes. This background should be fairly general and simple. Students are to use cardboard and paint. Work on this for two days. Use two tables in the room for the stage length and build up a few feet for height.
Day 6: Students will come and revisit their stories today. This day sole purpose is for students to practice working the mechanics of the puppet(s) and the story line. Students should be in twos or threes with their puppets just like in a traditional Bunraku shows. Each student should have equal work. One needs to be the narrator, one controls the music, and the other three work the puppet(s). The student in charge of the music will be working in garage band. This student could have been a costume student who finished early. This student is in charge of original tracks for the play. There will be at least one more day for practice and then students will start video tapping.
Day 7: This day is solely for video tapping. If students finish with their recording early then they will upload the video to iMovie. Two students from each group will be in charge of the audio sounds added along with no more than three effects. Leave at least one more day for this and the project should be completed. For students who get done working early, they can start their reflections and can work on their sketchbook assignments.

Go Bananas!
"Strange things are happening in Skeleton Creek ... and Ryan and Sarah are trying to get to the heart of it. But after an eerie accident leaves Ryan housebound and forbidden to see Sarah, their investigation takes two tracks: Ryan records everything in his journal, while Sarah uses her videocam to search things out ... and then emails the clips for Ryan to see.
In a new, groundbreaking format, the story is broken into two parts -- Ryan's text in the book, and Sarah's videos on a special website, with links and passwords given throughout the book."
Really cool literature to share with students while they work on projects. This is a great reading motivator for students that have had a hard time getting into reading.
