Dr. Jacqueline I. Fulop-Goodling's Ratings
Great orthodontist in NYC as she explained everything that I needed in order to get started on my Invisalign treatment. I was also able to see my teeth in 3D which is cool. I highly recommend her to friends

Dr. Jacquie is a competent orthodontist, however you will never be able to book an appointment with her as she is only in the office on Thursday's. Once you initially sign the contract, you will never see her again. Only her helpers will follow up with your treatment and you will wait 6-8 weeks to get your liners. She'll never look to see your progress or if changes are needed. I regret picking her for my Invisalign and I suggest you stay away...you will definitely have regrets as there are many other orthodontists that actually take an interest in their patients. The staff is very rude and unprofessional.

It's been 10 months and I am still waiting to see a improvement in my teeth. My trays are always messed up but never sent back to the lab. They tell me to just wear them until next visit and they have been saying that for months! At this point, I should have more of a difference in my smile. Dr. Goodling is always out of town and her assistants are awful.

Just recently visited this office for a consultation 2 months ago. I have been shopping around for an orthodontist and have been to 2 other consults in the area (monroe, ny). My husband and I were very impressed with Dr. Jacquie. She really knows her stuff. I feel like she told me straight up and didn't camoflauge anything. I did decide to start treatment and went back to the office for my records. I have been very happy with this office. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Everyone seems to really care. Very happy with my decision and would recommend them to my family and friends.

I recently met Dr. Jacque for the 1st time during my visit ( I am 3/4 into my treatment) and I found her to be fake and uninterested in myself and the patient in the next room. She did not even know my correct name or look into my mouth after spending less than a minute with me. She really needs to find a new assistant in the Monroe location as well as Englewood. They do more damage to the teeth and make them weaker and more sensitive. Very poor bedside manner with this franchise

I've been a patient of Dr. Jacqueline for about 6 months. I've had braces before and I didn't do the proper maintenance of my teeth which caused it to shift so I decided to give her a try. One word to describe this woman and her staff AMAZING! From Dr. Jacquie to Dr. Sara to the staff I made the BEST decision coming to this office. Dr. Jacquie worked with me financially for my Invisalign and everyone made me feel at ease starting this process all over again. Knowledgeable, courteous, professional these are just a FEW words to describe this practice as a whole. I RECOMMENDED my family, friends and coworkers to Dr. Jacquie that's how much I value her work. My teeth are well on its way to being fabulous and Dr. Jacquie gave me the confidence to start smiling again as she helps my teeth get straight again.

The staff are a bunch of uninformed buffoons! Not one person knows what they are doing. They give wrong information all the time, and are rude to top it off. If you are lucky enough for them to pick up the phone, you are put on hold forever. Once you have an issue, they hold it against you and treat you even more poorly. I cannot wait to be DONE with the entire group. To make matters worse, my poor child needs teeth straightened again because they shifted 4 years after having braces. The Woodbury staff is just a bunch of nasty clowns.

Both of my kids started treatment with Dr. Jacquie Smiles in the Monroe office about 4 months ago. So far, we are very pleased. The staff is great and very accommodating. They have seen both Dr. Jacquie and Dr. Josh with no complaints. I would definitely recommend this practice to my family and friends.

I just finished my treatment by Dr. Jacquie and couldn't be happier. My teeth look amazing and I am so happy I made the decision to come to her. I was seen by both Dr. Jacquie and Dr. Josh and they were extremely pleasent and made me feel so comfortable. Any time I wanted to see Dr. Jacquie I would ask the office manager for my next appointment to be with her and not only was that taken care of without hesitation... I got to spend so much time with Dr. Jacquie. I couldn't recommend the office more highly.

We enjoy taking our boys places but, in the last month or so every-time we go out the boys go crazy! We just sold are triplet and double stroller and am thinking about buying another one! But, who wants to push 3 or 2 three year olds around. We have also used the backpacks but they run three different ways, then fall down.
We do in store time outs, and yes I do get down eye level and tell them how dangerous it is running from Mom & Dad!
We are starting to go crazy staying in the house any ideas would be a big help!
worse thing about it is that there were a lot of moms of twins out and they were so good and here I am with a kid on my shoulders, one in a single push cart and the other one in his backpack! While my hubby was looking at the clothing and I was trying to keep them busy!
thank u

If you're with DH then you can use two carts. If you're by yourself, I usually try to put one or two in a cart and one walk and "help" and switch off so they all have a turn. I also try to remember how much they can handle at that age and limit the amount of time I'm in the store. I always have a long talk with them before we go into the store and in the beginning I would reward them. I would tell them "If you're good in the store and listen to Mommy you will get a lollipop." Then, if they started to misbehave I would remind them. After a while, I didn't need to use the lollipop anymore, we used the reward chart. Now they are 4 and I can take all three to the grocery store myself and have three little helpers.September 14, 2010 at 9:30 pm #1186724

I am taking mine out for shopping trips less since the turned three and a half. They are just at that stage where they have short attention spans, easily distracted, and want to "help" in very unhelpful ways.
When I do take them out, they are in the triple stroller for crowd control reasons. Sometimes a quick trip to the library or a quick trip for a couple items in a shop there is a stroller for 1 kiddo and the other two have to hold onto the sides… but it needs to be a quick trip or they start to loose it.
Don't feel bad about the twins doing well… I think it takes triplets longer to learn to behave in public because in general they may have less opportunity to try it out. JMO.

Thank you Sheila am glad it is not only my trips that have this issue.
elizabethSeptember 16, 2010 at 12:17 pm #1186727
Not sure if you have a walmart close by but they now have a cart that has 2 seats in the front and a seat in the chart. I will usually go there for that reason. IF I go to another store I will usually put 2 in the cart and take turns with 1 walking. I also just got ride of my RA stroller. I still use my harness/backpacks when I go to the zoo or a place that has a lot of people. I agree with the PP, I usually take them on short shopping trips.

I was just logging on to post about this exact thing! I swear they are more work now, at 3 1/2 then they were at 2 1/2! We are definitely going out less these days. Someone is always getting upset. (usually about nothing) I used to get lots of "wow, what good kids you have there." Now I get looks of pity. I hate that! I know from my older guy that 3 was by far the hardest mental age, so I know things will get better as we near 4. It is amazing how if I just take 2 it is soooooo much easier! DH and I split them up alot on the weekends. He takes 2 and I take 2. They are so good it's not even funny, but when I have all 4 they just feed off of each other, so if one starts acting up they all do. And if one gets the others laughing it's a free for all! We just keep trying short trips and eventually I know they will start behaving consistantly again. We just had our first successful outing to Costco with all 4 in a long time. Yeah! Hang in there!September 18, 2010 at 11:53 pm #1186733
Mine are fixing to turn three and trips to the store have gotten worse. It must be the age. I second the carts at walmart. That way they cant get away from you and your hands are free to shop. only downfall is that mine will kick at the kid in the cart. And then that kid gets mad "mommy so and so is kicking me" ughh. Aggravating but its doable. I also second the limit the time in the store. Seems like they have less tolerance when they were smaller.
GGB born 30 weeksSeptember 28, 2010 at 11:05 am #1186751
Mine are 3 and 1/2 too. I definitely can't do long trips anymore, but have found that if they each have a job to do they behave so much better. When we go to the grocery store they each have to remember 3 separate items that are needed. My grocery store now has those little kid carts so now they even feel really important when they get to put their items in their own little cart. Of course we go when it's not busy so I don't totally annoy the other shoppers and I don't take a big cart. I just put all my stuff in their little carts.
If we are going clothes shopping we play "I Spy" but they know they have to point to the items not touch. If we are going to buy something I make them carry it to keep their hands busy. I have to go shoe shopping for me this week and the deal will be they each get to try on one pair of mommy shoes for a minute. Just going to DSW. They love trying on high heels!
Definitely not as easy as the stroller days, but I have learned to shop much faster.

Ayeona's blog
Overly excited to be meeting Korn for the 2nd time, only this time I'm lucky enough to bag a bass lesson with Fieldy! I hope the guys remember me, fat chance though, but we never know!
It's been over a year since I last posted, oops! Even though I'm young and haven't been a 'Freak' for my whole life, I have made a special effort to dig through the band's history and finding out much more about them. So when I heard the news that Head was joining Korn, I was thrilled. I 'm so excited for the boys, and am really happy that they have they're old member back. One day, I hope...
http://www.korn.com/media/videos/9391/29441 Me in action chillin' with the band aha! Pretty much starstruck in this video, I tried not to be. Also I'm blushing like mad. So hope this will happen again one day!
Wow, I met Korn! I doubt they'll ever read this but in the hope that they do I am so thankful for the most amazing day of my life. Ray, Fieldy, Munky and Jonathan were the nicest bunch of people I've ever had the pleasure of spending a day with. I just want to say thank you so so much for everything and Ray: I promise I'll keep practicing my drum rudiments! I'd advise anyone to take the...
So I made an investment on another Korn CD, this time it being Jonathan Davis' Alone I Play album. I seriously never thought Korn could get any better, 5 string violins and wahwah effects on a double bass?! Definitely my cup of tea. Well done JD! Shame you cancelled your gig in Perth a few years back, would've killed to see this live.
Totally hyped for Korn's new album. Just really wished they'd pay a visit to Scotland more often. Kornstep ftw!

Today I have 12 days of sobriety, but Friday was 9 and it was on Friday that I did something pretty risky - Nigel was singing in a band that was playing on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, and I went to the House of Blues to watch the show.
I specifically did not tell Madame Helene, because she warned about putting myself in situations where people are drinking, places where I may have drank in the past, and any other situation that puts me at risk for relapse. I didn't want her to tell me not to go.
Still, I spent most of the day praying to my Higher Power for strength, resolve, and a reprieve from my obsession with alcohol. Then I spent hours studying the Big Book. Then I got all dressed up - more so than any point in recent memory - and I headed off to the show.
I continued praying on my drive to the venue, and still prayed while I was walking into the building. I wasn't remotely tempted to order a drink, but it was early in the evening.
I sat at the bar and ordered a cranberry and soda. The bartender looked at me and asked, "Not drinking tonight?"
"No, I don't drink."
He was quiet for a moment and then asked, "Are you a friend of Bill W.?"
"I am!"
Turns out that the bartender who just happened to be working in the room where Nigel was playing, he was an alcoholic and a member of A.A. He has 22 years of sobriety, and he congratulated me on my small number of days as well.
I just re-read this post from years ago, talking about my lack of faith. But there is no fucking way it was simple coincidence that the bartender was a fellow alcoholic. And it would have been very difficult for me to order a drink without him calling me out.
It's things like this which increase my faith every day.

Time to wind down?Filed under: Life and Leisure by Hari
Posted at 22:34 IST (last updated: Thu, Apr 23, 2009 @ 22:40 IST)
I've been wondering - and it's been on my mind more often of late - is it time to close my blog and take out my content? There was a time when I felt that at least a few regular readers were responding and there was some motivation to write and express creativity. In recent times, however, I've not exactly had a lot of encouragement to continue blogging. This encouragement hasn't died down all of a sudden. In the last 6 months, there has been a definite and marked decline in readership which has reflected in the number of articles I've written during that period (or vice versa - it's had a spiral effect). Even without user stats availability, I can gauge that interest in blogging in general is at an all time low since (say) 2005. I am guessing that only one or two regular readers definitely read this blog now. Or if more people read, I've not had any indication of it. It's been like communicating in a vacuum of late; at least going by responses to my articles in the last few months. I do not like writing in vacuum. I have no interest in 'personal blogging'. I've had enough trying to get people to respond. I'm weary of the Internet's 'social' ways which has proved only to be a marketing terminology for the big corporates and nothing to do with real human contact. That's one reason I hate social networking sites. They've killed spontaneity in communication and the human touch by generating tons and tons of spam for a grain of genuine content. E-mail is no longer a one-on-one communication channel but the playground of spammers and a tool for notifications. Bloggers no longer seem to comment out of interest, but more as a way to get a back link. The time has long gone since I had the enthusiasm to draw in new readers. I no longer have that enthusiasm, particularly when even bloggers I know and communicate with on their blogs do not respond in like manner. It's boring to write a thoughtful comment and get no responses. It's like people have lost all their courtesy and respect for fellow bloggers who actually take time out to read their content. Leave that aside, it should at least be common courtesy to acknowledge the presence of a human being, even if it's only an online presence. In short, I'm feeling slightly embittered. Is this the last blog entry then? Most likely not. But I'm sensing that it's very near the end. I've about had it with writing when nobody (or very few people) responds. To be quite frank, I don't even know how many people will read this and how many will care. However I do thank my regular readers though for the support given to me all these years.

That's a bit of a bugger. I hit that phase a couple of years ago when I noticed that I had no comments on a number of posts. And then they came back. Often you write something I have no comment on - and saying that is a poor response and smacks of responding for the sake of it.
I find the blog useful for dumping the bits of cruft that gather in my brain. Maybe return to reviewing books for a while until you feel like blogging again? And surely cricket will be on again soon...

I have appreciated every word or picture that you've ever posted, hari. Perhaps I am one of the few readers that hangs on. Sometimes, I am not compelled to comment on a post, mostly because its not something that I can contribute to. Your posts on coding, for example, are over my head and I read them like someone who is looking in a room from through the outside window.
I hope to continue to see your writing. If you choose against continuing, I will accept that as well. I have had similar thoughts go through my head from time to time.

Well, I hope you continue to keep writing.
I do read all your posts but didn't comment as I had nothing specific to comment or felt lazy.
For example when you said "I came back from Germany" I could have commented "welcome back" or "waiting for details". felt lazy to do that.
In general there's a general decline in user response all over blogosphere..
Also, I entered the code wrong and had to retype my entire comment-can't you retain the text while telling users to enter correct code?

I appreciate your blog posts, Hari. I know that I have been ignoring the blogging world a little due to business. Maybe I'll get back into it. I'm sorry I haven't responded to all your comments on my articles.
Some articles here I just don't have the expertise to comment on, even though I find the articles interesting.

Thanks all. I know that I have a few readers around. My post was written as a way to bring out my own feelings on the blogging world as I see it now.
I think most likely this is a symptom that the blogging craze has died down. I think I will continue writing, but I am always drawing inspiration from the readership.
And please don't think that I am pointing fingers at any specific person here. If I gave that impression, I didn't mean it in that sense and I realized that what I wrote might sound like an accusation.
It's just that my level of inspiration to write has been receding slowly but surely. I hope I can get back on track.
Yes. I've been thinking of getting back to book reviews for a while. It's been a year since I posted my last book review. I have neglected that over a period.
I think I could do that - I'll have to look at the code and then make a few changes to it.
Comment by Hari (blog owner) on Fri, Apr 24, 2009 @ 08:40 IST #
For someone that once wrote "Don't leave farewell messages while leaving an online community", this post is highly unwanted.
You should continue blogging. You don't have to do it regularly, do it whenever you feel like it. Taking things offline is plain stupid. Leave it here, there is tons of good reading, although I don't have time to read it, even skimming through them is good.
Of course ultimately the choice is yours, like what I did with my cartoon site, but IMO (and no it's not IMHO in this case, not with you ) I want you to keep this blog up.
Comment by Teknomancer (visitor) on Sat, Apr 25, 2009 @ 17:17 IST #
I don't want to leave this blog open to spammers if I abandon the website. That's why if I discontinue, I will take out the content.
Also, my other idea is that, if I take out the blog, I'll reorganize the important articles like humour and comics into different sections of this website.
The reason I'm not getting enough readers is because there is no focus on this blog and also many people who used to read it regularly one year ago are no longer reading it.
Also I'm not leaving an online community, because this is only a blog
Comment by Hari (blog owner) on Sat, Apr 25, 2009 @ 17:23 IST #
Does your code allow for disabling comments? If you are going to be away for a length of time, that would be the happy medium - the content would still be visible, but the spammers would have nothing to do.
Comment by ray (visitor) on Sun, Apr 26, 2009 @ 16:46 IST #
Perhaps hari is talking about sploggers.
Comment by MrCorey (visitor) on Mon, Apr 27, 2009 @ 01:20 IST #
Hi Hari,
Like others mentioned, I too will also not comment on articles about coding for example. I really do not understand it
I disagree that there is an overall trend for less communication. Some of the blogs I drop by have so many comments that it is almost tiresome to read them all before leaving one's own.
If you personally aren't getting what you need from your site, you definitely should change up the scenario, by either taking a break or shutting it down.
You will be missed if you go.
Comment by Tim (visitor) on Tue, Apr 28, 2009 @ 08:18 IST #
Ray, yes, I can shut down comments on a per-article basis. I can also globally enable comment moderation.
MrCorey, I was not talking about sploggers but real bloggers. That's why it hurts when some people don't want to reply or be courteous.
Tim, I definitely think that some bloggers get a big audience because of the topics they discuss. But overall I've seen a decline of reader participation in general blogs.
Comment by Hari (blog owner) on Wed, Apr 29, 2009 @ 08:59 IST #
I saw a huge drop in commenters as soon as I put nofollow back in comment author links, as I expected. I would prefer 2 or 3 comments of value than 100 of internet marketing spam pretense.
Lacking focus and direction is your primary culprit, Hari, so you're right on that assumption. Any kind of social interaction on your part isn't going to help in keeping repeat readers.
Blogging for the sake of blogging belongs at places like Facebook, where the people seem to have nothing better to do. If you want real interaction, write to draw in the search visitors. Believe it or not, many of my repeat visitors started out as search visitors.
I subscribe to feeds by email because it's the easiest way for me to manage my time in that regard. You may want to consider it - I sometimes don't visit any sites at all for days unless it's part of my research.
Nevertheless, I usually go through and read several of your posts at a time when I do make it over here. I rarely comment and won't comment for the sake of commenting. I don't like it on my blog and I'm sure you'd get tired of it real quick if a lot of peoople started doing that.
Comment by RT Cunningham (visitor) on Fri, May 1, 2009 @ 10:43 IST #
RT, good comment there.
I usually don't write for SEO traffic, but I do write on a variety of topics which draws in search traffic, especially my Linux and tech related articles as I analyzed from my web stats. However, most of search visitors don't comment or interact, moving on to the next search result.
However, the real issue here is that it's not about commenting or not commenting, but feedback over a period of time to know whether my regular readers are there or not.
I always appreciate your comments and agree that commenting for the sake of commenting is not a good practice, though occasionally it helps to know that somebody is still following my blog.
What frustrates me is not the total amount of readership, but not knowing which of my readers left and why. I couldn't get a grip on the problem.

He discovers she is living with the Spanish-born nursing student/model Mia and has a lover, whom she quickly discards when Guy moves in. The trio are enjoying their unusual living arrangement, but world events are beginning to affect their existence. It is the height of the Spanish Civil War, and idealistic Guy, a long-time supporter of the army of the Second Spanish Republic, is determined to do what he can to help them as Francisco Franco's fascists gain strength. Mia, too, is anxious to come to the aid of her native land. Gilda, however, has no interest in politics or anything else that might disrupt her life of luxury, and pleads with the two to ignore the conflict, but they feel compelled to act and depart for Spain.
Guy becomes a soldier, while Mia tends to the wounded. They cross paths one night and, before making love to Guy, Mia confesses she was Gilda's lover. In the morning, her ambulance is destroyed by a land mine, and after laying her to rest, Guy returns to Paris, where he is ignored by Gilda, who feels his abandonment of her was a form of betrayal.
Six years later, Guy is working as a spy with the underground in occupied Paris under the auspices of British intelligence. He learns Gilda has taken Nazi Major Franz Bietrich as a lover and visits her in their old apartment, where the two make love. The following morning she tells him their affair is over and the two never can see each other again. D-Day is approaching, and Guy throws himself into his work. One day he arrives at a café to meet a contact, but instead is approached by Gilda, who has overheard her German lover's plotting a trap and has come to help him escape in cleric's clothing she has concealed in the restaurant's washroom. That night, he and his associates destroy a rail station, but only Guy manages to elude the German soldiers.
Guy returns to London, where he discovers Gilda joined the Resistance a few years earlier. With the occupation of Paris having come to an end, he realizes the locals, who long regarded Gilda as a Nazi sympathizer and traitor, will seek revenge for what they perceive to be her lack of loyalty and patriotism. As he returns to Paris to find her, Guy is unaware Bietrich has been killed in Gilda's apartment and she has been taken captive by a mob intent on avenging the deaths of their loved ones.
The soundtrack included "Parlez-moi d'amour" by Jean Lenoir, "Blue Drag" by Josef Myrow, "Minor Swing" by Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt, "Big Jim Blues" by Harry Lawson and Mary Lou Williams, "La rumba d'amour" by Simon Rodriguez, "Vous qui passez sans me voir" by Charles Trenet and Jean Sablon, "My Girl's Pussy" by Harry Roy and performed by John Duiganand "La litanie à la vierge" by Francis Poulenc.
The film opened on ten screens in the US and earned $46,133 its opening weekend. It grossed a total of $398,278 in the US and $2,958,074 in foreign markets for a total worldwide box office of $3,356,352 .
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times said the film "is silly and the plot is preposterous, but it labors under no delusions otherwise. It wants to be a hard-panting melodrama, with spies and sex and love and death, and there are times when a movie like this is exactly what you feel like indulging."
In the San Francisco Chronicle, Walter Addiego called it "a glossy, stiff melodrama . . . a mixture of Casablanca and Cabaret, or possibly Hemingway and Henry Miller, and finally, it doesn't work, in part because the erotic content seems self-conscious and force-fit. In fact, if not for the presence of Charlize Theron, it's hard to imagine this film would have attracted anywhere near the kind of attention it's gotten . . . she's not at all bad, but her role as a young American heiress and libertine feels recycled from scores of other movies."
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone awarded it one out of a possible four stars and described it as "a World War II melodrama of epic silliness and supreme vapidity . . . This spark-free film has no place to go on [the cast's] resumes except under the heading of Cringing Embarrassment."

Regardless of your political leanings, I think it's impossible not to feel the excitement as we get ready for the Presidential Inauguration happening tomorrow. It's a historic time in our country's history, and kids have been fired up about this election in a way we've never seen before.
Whether it was the Nickelodeon Kids Pick the President campaign or a special election-themed WordGirl, kids have been seeing election buzz for months, now. And this week, it all comes together as President Obama is sworn into office. And Nickelodeon is ready—they're planning their first coverage of the Presidential Inauguration:
Nickelodeon, in another first, will feature coverage of the historic presidential inauguration starting Monday, Jan. 19, at 4 p.m. ET/PT. KPP Election Connection Team correspondents — Lily Collins, JJ and Pick Boy — will report on the political celebration from Washington, D.C. in a series of pre-taped interstitials highlighting the historic Inauguration Day and the celebrations leading up to it.
Additionally, on Inauguration Day — Tuesday, Jan. 20 — at 8 p.m., vignettes featuring footage of the President-Elect's Oath of Office, will air on Nickelodeon, The N and Nicktoons Networks. Interstitials will continue to air on Nickelodeon through Jan. 31 and will highlight the parade down Pennsylvania Avenue; President-Elect Obama's arrival at the White House; his inauguration speech; and more.
What a savvy move by Nick, both to keep kids interested in the world around them and to ride the current political wave. This is smart children's programming at its finest.

The existence of a free nutation of the Earth was predicted by Leonhard Euler in 1755 as part of his studies of the dynamics of rotating bodies. Based on the known flattening of the Earth he predicted that it would have a period of 355 days. Several astronomers searched for motions with this period, but none were found. Chandler's contribution was to look for motions at any possible period; once the Chandler wobble was observed, the difference between its period and the one predicted by Euler was explained (by Simon Newcomb) as being caused by the non-rigidity of the Earth. The full explanation for the period also involves the fluid nature of the Earth's core and oceans: the wobble in fact produces a very small ocean tide, the pole tide, which is the only tide not caused by bodies outside the Earth.
To measure the wobble, the International Latitude Observatories were established in 1899. (The wobble is also called the variation of latitude). These provided data on the Chandler and annual wobble for most of the 20th century, though they were eventually superseded by other methods of measurement. Monitoring of the polar motion is now done by the International Earth Rotation Service.
The wobble's amplitude has varied since its discovery, reaching its largest size in 1910 and fluctuating noticeably from one decade to another. While it has to be maintained by changes in the mass distribution or angular momentum of the Earth's outer core, atmosphere, oceans, or crust (from earthquakes), for a long time the actual source was unclear, since no available motions seemed to be coherent with what was driving the wobble. On 18 July 2000, however, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced that "the principal cause of the Chandler wobble is fluctuating pressure on the bottom of the ocean, caused by temperature and salinity changes and wind-driven changes in the circulation of the oceans.

Apparently, the next major patch (I'm guess it will be patch 3.2) will be seeing more tweaks to Death Knights, at the least to get dual wielding viable again. There's no word on what form this tweaking will take, which is to be expected. Balancing Dual Wielding and Two handed weapons has always been a tricky to near-impossible for other classes, so the skeptical part of me still wonders if it's possible.
Of course, it could also be the two-handed weapon partisan in me speaking as well. Any basic solution such as creating a two-weapon strike seems like it could leave two-handed Death Knights out in the cold, at least for DPS. Still, we have that earlier mention of possible dual-wield dedicated tree, so who knows how extensively they'll revamp whichever one they choose to allow dual wield optimization. We do already have some 3.2 feature announcements, though, so who knows, maybe class change information is up next. We'll keep you posted.

City of Detroit suspends yard waste collection for at least two weeks
DETROIT (WXYZ) - Beginning today, the city is Detroit is suspending curbside collection of yard waste for at least two weeks.
"I continue to say the citizens of Detroit continue to get a bad deal. I don't care what it is. We continue to get a bad deal and it's time for something new," says Veronica Moon, a frustrated resident of Rosedale Park on Detroit's west side.
The city says crews are suspending yard waste pickup because they will be busy collecting increased amounts of bulk items that have been set out during the month of July.
Bonnie Miller lives in the same neighborhood where many of the lawns and gardens are well-kept. "As long as it's only for two weeks. And as long as they're doing what they say they're going to do and that is to clean up bulk around the city. That's important," Miller told 7 Action News.
During this time, we're told residents can drop off yard waste at any of the DPW drop off sites at no cost.
The five DPW drop-off locations are:
Davison Yard — 8221 West Davison
Southfield Yard — 12255 Southfield Service Dr.
5840 Anthon between Cavalry and Campbell
State Fair Yard — 19715 John R
J. Fons Transfer Station — 6451 E. McNichols
The drop-off locations are open Tuesday – Saturday from 10:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. (Closed from 2:30 - 3:30 p.m.)
J. Fons Transfer Station is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
The Southfield Yard location is open Monday-Saturday.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - All Michigan needs is for the 4-7 Iowa Hawkeyes to beat Nebraska on Friday, then turn around and pop 11-0 Ohio State in Columbus on Saturday.
Impossible? Hardly. Difficult to imagine? Pretty much.
Nebraska and Michigan are tied the Legends Division at 6-1. With Nebraska's 23-9 home win over a depleted Michigan on Oct. 27, the Cornhuskers hold the divisional tiebreaker. A win over Iowa vaults Nebraska into the Big Ten title game, where Legends Division representative Wisconsin awaits.
"The challenge is going to be to come back in a short week and be ready to go on the road and put ourselves in position to finish off the second half of the year the way we want to," Nebraska Coach Bo Pelini said Saturday.
Nebraska and Iowa play on Friday, which means Michigan could have no greater incentive than to beat its biggest rival on Saturday. Ohio State is ineligible for the postseason after an improper benefits scandal in 2010. Ohio State-Michigan is the league's most storied rivalry and this is the Buckeyes' de facto bowl game. Michigan would earn a championship-game spot with a win and an Iowa upset. But that's less on the Wolverines' minds than facing the Buckeyes.
"It's the last game of the year, playing Ohio," Michigan wide receiver Roy Roundtree said. "Ever since those guys got here, we bring it up and say 'Beat Ohio.' I'm pretty sure they know this week is totally focused. It's Thanksgiving break, so there's more time for film."
Ohio State won the Leaders Division title outright with a 21-14 overtime win at Wisconsin. The Badgers (4-3) travel to Penn State this week for a second-place showdown. Penn State is ineligible for a postseason spot for the next four season. Wisconsin heads to the Big Ten championship game for the second straight year regardless of the outcome.
"Obviously we don't want to sit here all week and dwell on the past, but it's definitely something we're going to get over and move on to Penn State," Wisconsin defensive lineman Brendan Kelly said.
Purdue (2-5, 5-6 overall) plays for a bowl berth this week after beating Illinois 20-17. The Boilermakers have won two straight in league play after dropping their first five Big Ten games. Michigan State (2-5, 5-6) also could earn a bowl bid with a win at Minnesota. The Gophers (6-5 overall) have locked up a a bowl berth, as has Northwestern (8-3 overall.
Wisconsin running back Montee Ball tied Miami (Ohio) running back Travis Prentice for the most career touchdowns with 78. Ball also became the NCAA's all-time scoring leader at 470 points. ... Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner threw three touchdowns and rushed for three against Iowa. ... Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin threw for 395 yards and four scores. ... Ohio State defensive end John Simon had four sacks.
Michigan State running back Le'Veon Bell rushed for 133 yards on 32 carries. ... Iowa tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz caught eight passes for 99 yards. ... Nebraska wide receiver Kenny Bell hauled in nine passes for 136 yards. ... Indiana quarterback Cameron Coffman threw for 454 yards and two touchdowns on 59 attempts. ... Northwestern's Dan Vitale caught nine passes for 110 yards. ... Minnesota linebacker Aaron Hill had 11 tackles, including two for loss. ... Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase rushed for 73 yards and passed for 160. ... Purdue punter Cody Webster punted eight times for a 42.6-yard average and downed five inside the 20-yard line.

yamaha yz 465 1981 problem
I have a problem with the part sitting under the clutch plate (sprocket)!. Cant take it away! Dont know how to place a picture on this site? Sorry!

I am trying to post some photos of my bike but this iPad isn't letting me.
I'll get some help from one of my more tech savvy mates
I am running a 380 MJ, 45PJ , Q8 needle jet and a6DH4 needle with the clip on the top position.
I am at 1000 meters which is about 3000 ft above sea level so I am expecting to do more jetting changes.
My 465 runs Proform pipe and footpegs, PVL ignition and a YSS hi/lo pro rear shock
My next steps will be getting my forks set up with springs and emulators and V force reeds.
Now here is the problem. It's a pig to start. It will push start easy but it will not kick start when hot. The motor is rebuilt with new seals so I am not expecting an air leak.
Next thing I need to revisit is the timing.
Anyone got any tips for setting up a PVL ignition?

Hi Retro,
It looks like our jetting is pretty close.
My IT490 had a leak around the base gasket that made it difficult to start. I was able to feel it by sliding my finder around in that area. Apparently it is not an uncommon problem. But it also ran poorly at idle in that condition. So if yours runs well otherwise then it is probably a different issue. I am not familiar with the PVL ignition.
One thing I will say is I am able to start mine much more easily if I have a stand or something to prop my left foot on. This gets me into a higher position so I can get a better kick. With my foot on the ground I have difficulty spining that big bore motor. I guess I'm a sissy!
Turning back to the jetting, I think I'm definitely on the lean side and will step up the MJ to 390 and maybe raise the needle 1 notch. I raced it last week and detected a little bit of pinging in the heat of the battle. Other than that it did pretty well.

This event was the season opener for the American Classic Race group. ACR runs a year long series that includes vintage motocross events at legendary tracks such as Southwick and Broome Tioga. Englishtown is on the list as is Budds Creek in October (so I get a second chance at finishing that one!).
Many of these ACR guys seemed to be from the
Anyway, the ACR guys are a great bunch and really know how run an event. The track owners did a great job too, very organized. Moto's went off smoothly and results were posted quickly.
The track itself is located just outside the neat the little town of
If you like old houses, old farms, scenic back roads, horses, cows, chickens and chicken pie suppers, you will like Hedgesville, WV.
As for myself, I had a few hiccups but was able to finish two motos with decent results. But before getting to that, lets look at some pictures!
First the bikes,
Yamaha was offering free test rides on new MXer's!
More to come...!

Hi again!
As promised here are some photos of my restoration project.
It was imported from California so not much rust about it as you can see from the stripped frame.
The forks were desperately needing attention, the exhaust pipe had received a nasty shunt and the compression was low. The air filter was so badly holed it wouldn't have stopped any low flying birds, so the barrel has been rebored now.
The frame had a crack in the cross member under the seat. I brazed that up and got the frame powder coated.
Before I got it coated though I noticed that there has been some alteration to the headstock.
If you look closely you'll see grinder marks on the frame where the original welds have been cut. There is no sign of a frame number where I would expect it and no mark whatsoever to indicate there ever was one at the expected position. Maybe the steering head has been steepened and the number hidden?? Anybody aware of such a mod?
The theory is that this was a desert bike. It had wide rims fitted front and back (1.80 and 2.75 I think they were). Does that sound reasonable? There's no desert in Scotland so they are gone.
There will be more to come......

Desert racer sounds like the best bet given the wide rims. However, you would think the steepened steering head would work against high speed stability. I read somewhere that they would gear these bikes to go 115MPH in the desert... dont know if I would want to do that!
I noticed a few other mods on yours. Is that an intake bottle on the right hand side? It also looks to have the same clutch extender that wfopete and I both have.
Yamaha made a modification part way throught the '81 model year where the top tube meets the steering head. The earlier serial numbers have the tube welded to the steering head with no gusset. Apparently it was common for cracks to develop there so later on they added a gusset on the top tube. You seem to have this.
My 81 YZ465 #1 bike does not have the gusset but my 81 YZ465 #2 does. I read that all the 82 490's have the gusset as well.
I am not sure but the head pipe on your expansion chamber looks longer than the standard yz465. It may be a it465 or it490 pipe.
The serial numbers of the motors matched the frames. For 81 it should be 4V4###... the IT465 is 4V6### (I think).
Keep us posted on your progress!

The bike is a 4V4, going by the engine number and 43 mm forks.
Yes, there are a few mods on the bike. As you noticed it has the clutch arm extender and a boost bottle. The bottle is fed from a spigot off a ~10mm extender plate in the inlet tract. The silencer is standard YZ465, which I thought was a bit odd seeing as some previous owner has went to the bother of adding these other go-faster bits. The pipe I thought was standard too, however it could be after-market because it has been hand made and Japanese pipes of that era were normally those pressed types with the protruding seams.
That is an interesting story about the gusset at the steering head. Perhaps the work done on mine was for a repair and the gusset has been added at this time. Doesn't explain the lack of visible frame number though.
I'm thinking of deleting the boost bottle. Also I read somewhere that a spacer between the reed cage and the barrel improved starting on these bikes. Do you think that is the case? Is it worth bothering with or is starting fine if you have the knack?

This thread brings back a lot of memories... I had a YZ250F a 1979 model purchased in 1980 for $1600. Paid for it with my lawn mowing money...
I salivated over the YZ465 you are building. I got to ride one once, I remember it put the fear of god into me!
Good luck with your build!

Tomahawk results
OK, so I posted lots of pictures but now here is how I did.
First, you may recall I suffered a flat tire on the 465 back at Budds Creek. Well the very same thing happened in the Tomahawk practice.
When I fixed my flat last time, I ran a new rim (duct) tape and checked the rim locks all very carefully.
It turns out that I think my problem is related to using armour all as a lube when first mounting the new tire on the rim several months ago. When the tire went flat this time I could clearly see that the sidewall had slipped over the rim in the space between the rim locks. My tire pressure was only 12psi or so, I think my sidewall is too slicked up to firmly grip the rim. Using armour all was pretty stupid of me but I want to share the story so others dont suffer the same fate.
I do have a spare wheel so I am going to set this tire/wheel combo aside for awhile and hope that the armour all will dry out over time.
The good news is that the flat happened towards the end of practice so I did get some riding time and was able to switch the wheel and still make a second practice.
The second practice went pretty well but I noticed the bike was starting to ping very noticeably. Shortly after this the spark plug blew out of the cylinder head!
The threads were fine, and I remember tightening it, but I guess i just didnt tighten it enough... jeeze, what a knuckle head!
Fortunately, I found the plug just lying there on top of the head. I was able to screw it back in ride it back to the truck. This all happened in a hilly section of the track so I was pretty happy I didnt have to push the bike back as that would have been the end of me!
Now, it turns out that the ACR runs this race a little differently in terms of classification compared to the Budds Creek event. Last time I raced the 50+ class.
This time I raced a class call vintage 80's intermediate without age restrictions. I was a little worried that I would be up against a bunch of young bucks. It turns out that while there were 30yo guys, there seemed to be plenty in their 40's and I think 50's too.
But it also meant that my '81 YZ465 was lining up against late '80's machines with new fangled innovations like disc brakes, link suspension and water cooling.
Anyway, I had trouble getting the bike started for the 1st moto. When the plug blew out it closed the gap. I set the gap by eye by prying agaist something on the bike while stuck in practice. The starter was kind enough to hold the gate until I finally got it fired up. Of course I was gasping for air by this time.
Even so I got a pretty good start when the gate went down. I hung on near the front until about half way though the moto. I really wanted to finish so started to think about dialing it back a bit. Right about this time I got caught up with my wheels mismatched in some deep grooves and I went down. I was able to pick it up but not before being passed by a few guys. I placed 7th in the 1st moto... really, I was just happy to make the finish line .
For some reason I felt a little more confident at the line in the 2nd moto. Maybe because the bike started 1st kick this time (new plug). I was a bit slow out of the gate (I think I was day dreaming a little) but the 465 came on strong and I was moving up as I felt the field closing in on me through the 1st turn.
I was able to get past a couple of guys pretty quickly and was near the front again somehow. Then some guy passed me and pulled away a bit. Then another guy but I was able to pass him back.
My main misssion was to finish and not fall down. On the last lap I had a few guys looking to make a move on me.
But I knew if stayed calm and focussed on taking a good smooth line through the final corners it would be tough for them to out drag the big YZ to the next one.
And that's exactly how it unfolded.
Not only did I hold them off but a rider who was ahead of me fell off. In the end I finished in 2nd place, not bad. The 7-2 finish gave me 4th overall, one step off the podium.
Here's the funny part. After the 2nd moto a guy in his 30's says to me "Were you a racer back in the" ... he takes a long pause as he looks over the old man (me) ... so I finish his sentence "yeah, and that would be the 70's!".
So once again, it was a real good time and lots of good people. I haven't hurt myself yet so my season continues.
Interestingly, there were a couple of guys racing the A class whose names I remember from the early 80s. These guys were really cooking. I'm guessing they are now in their late 40's or early 50's?. They were fast as hell and great fun to watch.
Hats off to them!
And now a couple of photos from the '70s show...
This is one of the starts after the 1st turn - the yellow bike on right is me!
Trying to get away from those pesky Honda's!
Next up is a wood race near Shamokin PA.
Those woods racers really kicked my butt in the tight trails... more to come!

The YZ is so good you have a chance up against more "refined" bikes. The bike will turn but it takes effort and braking fades as time goes on.
Honestly attend an American Supercamp and your cornering ability (speed) confidence will increase and brake fade will decrease.
And never forget to have fun. Nice to see someone else racing the big YZ. Funding school has made racing a non event for me this year. Enjoy.
I guess I'll toss this in. Get your head forward (over the triple trees) and those elbows UP!
you don't see luggage racks on a hearse..........act accordingly

Kevin, YOU DID GREAT!
Just remember how those bike leapfrogged in improvements during the 80's! An '86 CR 250 was an amazingly good bike. That CR was light, had great power, handled & with a few "modern" improvements they are even better still. Plus I'll bet the "Tech" inspection was pretty weak meaning you could really throw in a ringer bike, yours included if you wanted. Still, ain't it great to line up against all those machines and riders and still show 'em some roost? The great thing about the 465 is that ever present loud handle at the right end of your handlebar; just twist it and watch the bikes around you start fading away. Remember to flaunt the 465's positive's (stability and power) and minimize it's negatives (turning and weight). Once you work on your technique and stamina you'll learn more each ride about your YZ and yourself and good things will continue to happen. Also get some Bleach White on them tires (off the rims of course) & next time use dish soap or a little WD40 as a tire lube. I've seen pro's use WD40.
Zoom, zoom. Keep it fun.

I just picked up this thread. I was a So Cal MXer and raced both the 81 465 and the 82 490. The flat tire has more to do with tire pressure than anything. If you're at all fast 12 psi rear will lead to constant spin flats, pinch flats and squared rims. For a track with no rocks or hard pack square edges I'd run 13 front /14 rear. For a rocky track 15/15. Most would agree that the 81 Maico 490 was the bike to have that year and is still considered one of the best MX bikes of all time. The Yamaha 465 was a good bike and just plain worked but suffered from the dreaded Yamaswap so keeping the rear end planted and driving was crucial. The 1981 465 was a better bike all around than the 1982 490. The 490 was a very heavy beast, 270 pounds dry and snaped shocks regularly. I crashed my 490 so hard at the 82 Golden State Nationals at Saddleback that in a single bike high speed swap the bike cartwheeled so hard it bent both forks, the frame and destroyed the rear wheel. Everything changed in 83, the first year of the Rodger Decoster influenced Hondas. I went to Honda in 83 and those bikes were the first modern geometry headshaker bikes made specifically for the SoCal/US cut and thrust clutch fanning riding style that changed the whole sport.

I had a major break thru in the starting department. I pulled the cover off and retarded the timing 1 mm and now for the fist time I was able to kickstart it hot and while standing on the ground! Happy days!
Now I just gotta stop the clutch slipping long enough to see how the jetting is!

'00' flour in Wisconsin?
If anyone knows of a source for type '00' pizza flour (e.g. Caputo), in bulk, in Wisconsin or nearby (e.g., Chicago), please share! I've been searching for a source where I can pick it up and avoid shipping costs.
Re: '00' flour in Wisconsin?
Greco and Sons distributing in Milwaukee and Chicago, They do have a will-call dock for pick up.
Maybe I should ask if this is commercial or home use? Becuase 50# bags might be a little to much for just home use.
You can get another brand of 00 grind flour from Glorioso's deli on Brady Street. I think Grano is the brand name.
About Mid July, I hope to have a Professionale 120 in my restaurant in Minocqua, so if you get up this way I could do a few pounds here and there if needed.
You may be able to get a few pounds from Pizzeria Piccalo on Tosa (76th & State) if they are using Caputo (I do not know what they are using) but they do advertise as making authentic Neapolitan pies So chances are they are using the good stuff
Re: '00' flour in Wisconsin?
Thanks for the ideas! I'm hoping to find a 25# bag (or so) for home use, but I could do 50# if necessary (we do lots of pizza parties anyway). Thanks again.

Re: '00' flour in Wisconsin?
For what ever it's worth, I had no problems burning through a 50 lb bag last summer (home use)
Re: '00' flour in Wisconsin?
So where did you get yours, Mike?
Re: '00' flour in Wisconsin?
Now if you tell me your a Yooper, I may need to find a valid reason to visit and help you go through some flour
Re: '00' flour in Wisconsin?
db, check out Gordan Food Service Marketplace. i think they have a store in Rockford, Il. Escanaba or Marquette, Mi if you are a Yooper. Gordon Food Service - Food Service Distributor & Products - GFS.com it's worth a call..
Re: '00' flour in Wisconsin?
I stopped by GFS this morning to pick up a Prime Rib for Superbowl and checked out the flour aisle while I was there. they have 2 brands of High Gluten flour, Bouncer and Primo Gusto. $12.00 for 25#... I don't know if either is considered "00". i will pick up a bag of the Primo Gusto the next time i need pizza flour...
Re: '00' flour in Wisconsin?
I live in an area without a lot of good resources. I was able to track down some Caputo 00, however. There is an excellent wine shop in town. He does not carry much as far as food products, but does have a small selection of cheese and cured meats. I had the owner over for pizza one day (it's never a bad idea to become friends with the owner of a good wine shop!). We talked about the pizza making, the flour, etc. It turns out that even though he doesn't sell these products (flour, etc), his cheese is provided by a food distributer and has access to a large array of foods other than what's in his store. One quick phone call, and the guy threw the flour into his next shipment of cheese.
I think it's worth inquiring at any type of food store or deli. They may not carry the flour regularly because it is not a demand item, but if you are willing to pay ahead of time, I'm sure they might be able to order it.
Re: '00' flour in Wisconsin?
I know this is late - but I was able to buy a 50# bag of 00 at Fraboni's in Madison by special order. The owner is great to work with. (Steve Fraboni).

Apollo, who is shown at the center, was one of the principle deities of the Greeks. He was the son of Zeus and Leto and the twin brother of Diana, the goddess of the hunt. Although mainly known as the god of the sun and prophecy, here he is depicted as Apollo Musagetes, the leader of the nine Muses, female divinities who presided over the arts and sciences. Each Muse is shown with her attribute. For example, Euterpe, Muse of lyric poetry, holds a paired flute, and Thalia, Muse of comedy, holds an actor's mask.
Plaques like this were sometimes framed as independent artworks, but were also inserted into wall panels, chimneypieces and mantels, and furniture. Each of the white figures was cast in clay in a separate mold and then applied to the colored plaques. In this way, each figure could be used as needed, either mounted individually on single small plaques or vases, or arranged in different groups. This interchangeability of decorative elements was a progressive factory procedure devised by Wedgwood that permitted a variety of different objects to be made easily from preexisting elements.

Nouakchott — Maghreb, African and European states may be working on a new security co-ordination bureau to track al-Qaeda activities in Tunisia, Libya, Algeria and northern Mali.
Military, security and intelligence service officials from unspecified Maghreb countries reportedly met earlier this month with their peers from Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Burkina Faso and Chad, along with representatives from France, Italy, Britain, Spain, the Netherlands and Germany.
The joint initiative was born of those discussions, Mauritania's Tawari News reported on Sunday (August 25th).
The security officers were said to have debated ways to deal with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and the growing threat of terrorist groups in the Sahel and Central Africa. European countries reportedly agreed to fund and train African intelligence services.
A joint cell comprising permanent representatives of the participating countries will reportedly exchange information.
In the present climate, this broad partnership between African and European states is to be expected, security analyst Abdul Hamid Ansari told Magharebia.
Even countries far from the Sahel now realise that their security and economy are threatened by terrorism, he noted.
"Al-Qaeda in recent years tried to attract attention by sneaking into countries not usually part of their geographical arena," Ansari added.
According to some observers, the recent merger between the gang led by Mokhtar Belmokhtar (aka Khaled Abou El Abbas or Laaouar) and the Movement of Oneness and Jihad (MUJAO) indicates that terrorists want to expand targets from the Maghreb to West Africa.
"I think the joint co-ordination was dictated by the nature of the enemy." Senegalese journalist Oumar Dembelé said.
"If terrorist groups can co-ordinate in order to hit state interests, then it is imperative for countries to join efforts to face this common threat," Dembele added.
He also criticised the way some African countries initially handled al-Qaeda, "They were fearful and avoided confrontation, which enabled terrorists to move freely and enlist new recruits."
"I think that this reasoning is no longer acceptable today because everyone has become a target for al-Qaeda and everyone is motivated now to confront them," he added.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll just have to give it a try. The one time I went to Alegahney I went Foote Crossing, that really was a scenic route.
My upward limit in steepness was Old Galloway Road, the first mile up from Downieville. This last sept. I was returning southbound from Quincy. I hit the turnoff for Yuba Pass early, about 9am, and on a lark I decided to go over Yuba and down to Downieville and up Galloway to Henness, and back to Truckee. I made a gas stop at the pump in Sierra City.
So there I was, heading up Old Galloway with a freshly fueled KLR, all 6 gallons, saddlebags and a duffel, heading up that road that evidently dates to before switchbacks were common practice and grades went straight up ridges. It was hair raising, to me. I got to the top without dropping the bike but I swore Never Again. Not with that bike anyhow. It's hard enough to pick up unladen and on a level surface. I would have been in a bind if I had to try to pick it up on that hill.

Israel Police barred Israeli Jews and tourists from the Temple Mount following threats of Muslim violence.
The ban on Thursday came a day after violence between a group of Orthodox Jews and Muslim worshippers on the Temple Mount. The group was prevented from entering the Temple Mount.
The Thursday ban came after Muslim groups threatened to protest the visit of Jewish children to the Temple Mount as part of an educational program to study Temple rituals, including the Shavuot holiday ritual of bringing first fruits to the Temple.
Hundreds of Jews visited the Temple Mount on Wednesday, the holiday of Shavuot, though thousands attempted to gain entrance, according to Arutz-7.
Jews generally are not permitted to pray or bring any ritual objects to the Temple Mount, which is considered Judaism's holiest site, in order to avoid confrontation with Muslim worshipers at the Al-Aksa Mosque, Islam's third holiest site. The site is overseen by the Muslim Wakf, the Muslim religious administration charged with managing the Temple Mount site.
