Hi. My name is Arianna. I am originally from England but moved to America in 2001 in the hopes of starting a new and better life.
The reason for writing this message is to encourage those of you out there that might be reading this, who are going through a hard time right now. I want to let you know about things that happened in my life. Perhaps you are going through a divorce, loss of a loved one, a serious illness, financial difficulty, marital problems, drug or alcohol addictions, loneliness or a host of other traumatic emotional situations. Whatever you are going through, I wanted this message to encourage you, that the healing love of God can be very real in your time of need.
I have been through severe manic depression (bi-polar disorder) and BPD (borderline personality disorder) for many years, alcohol and drug addiction, years of bullying at school, an abortion at age seventeen, a divorce, the loss of a son, various types of abuse, a number of suicide attempts, numerous humiliating betrayals, lost numerous jobs, lost my father to cancer, bankruptcy, foreclosure and the loss of a business, to name just a few things. I've had feelings of complete rejection from family members and relationships, had feelings of despair, hopelessness and felt worthless and unloved, unworthy, had feelings of failure and a whole mixture of other emotions. I have been in rehab and mental hospital a number of times and hospital for various debilitating illnesses, including typhoid.
I would like to encourage any of you who are currently going through some of these things, that God is real and he wants to help you out of whatever situation you're facing right now. PLEASE DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND ME. I am not talking about a religious dogma, or a church institution, or a set of formulas and strategies to get you HEALED!! RELIGION will NEVER TOTALLY HEAL YOU. I too tried all of that stuff and it NEVER HELPED me, it only made me feel worse and more ashamed, hopeless and condemned than I already did!!!
No matter how awful it may seem, God is able to do the impossible. I am living proof. I tried for years to solve my problems the best way I knew how and got nowhere, I always ended up with the same results, no matter what I did. Desperate and near death, I used to cry myself to sleep, night after night praying to God; "If you're out there, help me because I can't seem to help myself anymore and I am tired of trying and getting nowhere!!" Within two weeks of praying this prayer, I got invited to a home based church group by a person who I used to work with. I experienced for the first time in my life what it felt like to receive Gods healing love and to be accepted for who I was, as I was! The difference was...I met a PERSON who could help me!!
Over a two year period I received much love, prayer, support and counselling for all kinds of issues, from emotional healing, to physical healing. To this day, I no longer suffer from manic depression, or take any drugs for it, I do not smoke, drink or have drug problems, I am physically the fittest and healthiest I have ever been, I am emotionally healed from my traumatic experiences of childhood, physical and mental abuse, I am married to a wonderful man who loves me and treats me like a queen. I am living a life I never in a million years thought I would ever be able to have, or thought I was even worthy of having. I have found joy, peace, happiness and "real love."
I know that you too can experience God's healing love, no matter how old you are, where you're at in life, what you've done, how terrible you've been. Despite what religion has taught so many of us, God loves his people no matter what and is longing to have a relationship with you and show you his immense love for you. To show you who you truly are, not what life or people have said you are, to give you a purpose in life, a new beginning, a direction and freedom from all oppression. You are forgiven, so forgive yourself! The past is the past and God is not the one reminding you of every little thing you've messed up on. That is not who He is.
So don't give up! It's never too late! There is nothing you have done, that God won't forgive, heal and fix! Don't let religion, or religious people, get in the way of you meeting a person who can truly help you. Let Jesus be your answer to life's hurts and problems, lean on him, he is more that able to heal and help you, just ask him with a sincere heart and watch your life change! God bless you!!

Nokia Conversations looks at new innovations
3 September 2009 — 10:04 AM
As the opening day of the Nokia World 09 event in Stuttgart, Germany drew to a close, one website took a look at some of the announcements made.
According to Nokia Conversations, the conference gave the Finnish manufacturer the opportunity to showcase some of its most recent ideas - some of which could prompt people to seek cash for mobile phones in order to purchase them.
The site admitted it was "stoked to have witnessed the arrival of the new Nokia N97 mini", as well as the multimedia-focused X6 and X3 devices that were unveiled.
It added the Nokia Booklet 3G had also been detailed more thoroughly, as had the upcoming Maemo-powered N900 smartphone.
Also this week, company chief executive officer Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo explained the launch of the new devices was part of a wider plan to stay ahead of the curve in delivering what consumers want.
"We are proud to lead the charge in smartphones and beyond as manifested in the Nokia N900 and Nokia Booklet 3G, two great examples of how the world is changing and Nokia is driving this change," he added.

Old days
Yes you definitely have to travel further to get to virgin riding too many farms and ranches in this area with barbwire everywhere might have too travel into northern Alberta this summer very similar country to video. Question for you Ray on your DR 750 where did you source your crash bars and screen from or is that a stock tall screen? I have some parts coming for the transalp from CMSNL but there is not much available for the DR. Is Hessler the only option I imagine shipping would be pricey. Cheers Brian

DR Suzuki digression on the Honda thread
DR 750 crashbars are from Hessler. Ricky Cross. They are what he recommends as "best" but I took me 2 days to mod the mounting system so it didin't stick out so far that the front tire would contact is on full fork compression.
I've seen other pics of some of the other types with large pieces of flat stock that do not hold up at all in a tip-over.
My screen is a Givi. No longer made and rare as hens teen. Keep trying to find another with no luck. I think I may take it to a fiberglass master that I know and use it for a mold to make copies. Too low to look through even on the trail so an opaque finish would be OK.
Stefans pretty much the only game in town for DR Big modded bits.

Just wanted to show you guys the crashbar i got from Heed, a polish firm.
Real studry and good quality. Havent dropped the bike yet but it's not going to be a poblem when I do.
I saw them on a polish forum forum and tracked em down. They had some other stuff on sale on E-bay and I asked them if they could start a sale for the Transalp crashbar there and they did a couple of minutes later. So that's where I bought it.
I saw today that they started selling all their stuff on E-bay.

Updates and a cool tool you may not have seen...
Well it has been to long between updates so decided to couple a few things. First off here are some of my recent updates. In wanting to keep the gas tank temperature down as I have done with all my other builds, I lined the gas tank with aluminum reflective tape.
On my race bikes and busas this has made a large difference in fuel temperature.
A couple of months ago I was starting on the side panels and realized that my front turn signals were cracked on the lens and otherwise old. So, I updated the turn signals to LEDs. Given that the signals were not the same size as the OEMs, I filled the spare space with mesh to act as a catch for debris that might enter the opening.
On the same note, I decided to update the lower plastic bash plate wherein the side panels were limited in size and since I was in a modifying mode I opened up the side panels and included some mesh. I like the overall look and since I have raised the suspension almost 8 I feel comfortable putting some time into this part. If at some point I destroy this part, I have the aluminum plate to build a nice real bash plate.
The kickstand was an issue as I had already built a new one when I installed the CR250 shock, however, once I installed the new Hyperpro shock I found that I had missed the geometry with the new stand and in essence I had an unstable bike. Soooo this weekend I made a new stand and I am so happy with how the position of the bike. I can hope on and off the bike and nothing moves.
With all this work going on, I did not want to put the horn back in its original position and there is a reason. I have had several hard near misses where I have only remained alive because I was able to ride out of the position I was in. Well, I have found that repositioning the horn has alleviated this issue with my other bikes. So, using the stock brackets I found a place right under the air filter that does NOT interfere with removing the filter and puts the sound right in the environment where I want it.
Back at the beginning of the build I found I was dealing with very old tires very old! Well, with dirt tires, my NOMAR tire system does not do squat for these rims. After destroying a new set of tubes using metal tire tools, I needed a new plan. I spent a few days researching tools and found STUBBYS which are made from Delron material. Holy Cow! I was able to change each of the tires in under 15 minutes. I am sure you guys have great tools that are well suited for doing this, but I wanted to share what I have found.

Now I am concerned about a back rest for Robin and her back when she is on the back during rides. This was what I came up with and I have to say it is very comfortable. I am reutilizing the seat cover that came with the bike when I bought it and in the end…I am very happy!
Now for the meat of this post. I am sure that many of you have had to change the radiator fluid and if you follow the Honda method you will end up having to "burp" the system until the thermostat has opened and closed enough to cycle the engine until you have filled both radiators, engine and reservoir bottle. Well, I have been building cars and bikes for many years and during the rebuild in my Porsche Boxster I came across the AIRLIFT system. It allows you to fill the entire cooling system of any vehicle in less than 3 minutes.
On the Boxster I was presented with almost 40' of radiator hose, two radiators, a complex engine and large scale reservoir…and this system filled the my car in under 4 minutes on a single shot. How it works…using a venturi system you draw a vacuum on the cooling system, switch to the fill tube and draw the fluid in…then you're done. I have documented the process step by step. You pull 25 to 30 psi vacuum on the system, once you have the vacuum, you close the system remove the venturi attachement and wait 20 seconds. If it does not bleed down, you have an airtight system with zero leaks. Then you hook up the fill attachment and open the ball valves. When the system reaches zero your system is filled. If you look in your radiator and notice it is not to the top, you may have to do this a second time. For this system I was able to do the whole bike in a single draw.
Here is what the system looks like and how easy it is to use:

Hang on Honey
Coming from that Hayabusa background has certainly tainted your judgement.
The back pad only has to be attached to the leading edge of the top case.
Sorry to disappoint, but here is no way the TA will accelerate hard enough to make the padding over the top necessary......even if Robin's spine is that flexible.
Oh....where'd'ja get the shiny tape?

Now as for the shiny tape you ask...simple aluminum HVAC tape, not the fiber tape commonly used, but the expensive "top shelf ($7.99/roll)" solid metal tape that you find at Home Depot. Nothing but the best for this ride.

No posts for over a week ... time to get this thread back on the first page.
Waiting for "Spring' here in Nova Scotia. Just when things were looking good a few weeks ago we got hit with a storm that dropped 6 to 8" of the white stuff.
Put battery in the Alp last weekend and spent a few mins getting it to fire up. Shovelled a path from my shed to driveway and took her for a little spin. I rebuilt the caliper over winter and fitted a 50" ss brake line so took things easy so I can bed in the new pads (EBC HH). Hopefully get out again over the next few days.

Reunited: I have an '87 Transalp again...after 25 years!
In 1987, a buddy and I bought two new Transalps. We did all manner of things with them but sold them to buy pure off-road bikes.
I never forgot the fun and versatility of that TA so near the end of last summer I found a super mint one and am in love again with my old flame.
Below is an image of the bike when I bought it.
It came with Progressive springs and a taller aftermarket windshield.
I've put on Hidenau tires and a GPS and also have an SW-Motech skidplate, saddlebag rack, Givi bars, a power bus box, Oxford heated grips, a few other bits to install. Also need to get new fork gaitors, disassemble the rear linkage for a clean & lube, etc.
I could have had pretty much any ADV bike I wanted, new or used but absolutely love riding the Alp. Despite the age and 'lack of technology', this bike just works for what I want.
There is just something about it that transcends time.
Cheap, fast, or reliable. Pick any TWO.

Awesome find DK, welcome to the forum.
Any of you tall guys ride with bar risers? I installed a set recently and the position is great, but it increased the leverage on the two handlebar bolts that go into the triple clamp such that the bars deflect in their annoying rubber mounts way too much when pushing the bike around in the garage, let alone when going on any semi-technical riding. Control isn't great to say the least. Not many complaints by comparison for road riding.
I know i read something a while back about clamping those rubber mounts with a certain size washer, so i'll go search for that again, but even if those stay put, its still too easy to bend the bolts and tweak the handlebar alignment because of that extra leverage. Anyone ever replaced these with beefier ones?
Had a nice 600 mile ride over two days to go visit my buddy at Whitman College in eastern Washington this week. Great scenery... And man this bike is smooth. What an engine. Pics once i get the film developed (assuming i didn't mess them all up).
Always chase your dreams. Even if you don't catch them, you'll have a hell of a time trying.

Foxy Brown Is Still A Bully
I am so disappointed in Foxy Brown's latest shenanigans after her stint on the Mo'Nique show last month. During her interview with Mo'Nique she was crying and talking about God and how she's changed, however, she's damn near back to throwing blackberries again. According to the New York Post, she was arrested yesterday evening after bullying her neighbor.
Foxy "was strutting" below Raymond's window, said one neighbor who asked not to be identified. "She stuck her butt out, in a kiss-my-butt kind of way," that neighbor said. "She was doing a lot of screaming."
Foxy called Raymond a "f- – -king bitch" from the street and then snarled: "I'm going to f- – k you up!" the neighbor said. Raymond called cops, and three cruisers quickly rolled up to the scene on the quiet block lined with brownstones. A frustrated and fuming Raymond was overheard telling officers, "This has been going on since 2007!"
After being put into a police cruiser, "Foxy was sitting calmly in the back seat. She looked upset," said Didi Brewster, a bystander. Brown was hauled off for violating a still-active order of protection obtained by Raymond. Hours later, as she was walked out of the 77th Precinct station house, the rapper threw a fit, screaming and repeatedly stopping in a huff as cops struggled to lead her to the van headed to central booking.
In 2007, Foxy was arrested for throwing a blackberry at the same neighbor.

Today was a fairytale for Taylor Swift who is captured as Rapunzel by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz for a new campaign for Disney Parks.
She said she was honored to be a part of it because she has always been a Disney fan. "Any time you're going through something rough, you can go back into your imagination and you're at Disney World."
Well, one can only imagine that she's at the resort in her mind right now after the terrible few weeks she's had. Who knows… she might finally meet her prince. Yes, so we're all snickering at that one, but you know what they say: "Dreams come true," darling. XOXO

Simply repeating "you must..." does not convince me of your position. That Buffet has been so successful over the long run is evidence that his process is the best in the business. Because outcomes are affected by so many things, it takes awhile before you have enough of them to really indicate the quality of the decisions behind them. There is so much noise and other factors that a person can make a string of bad decisions and still wind up with good outcomes. If we judge on outcomes, we're liable to both fool ourselves in to trusting people who will fail in the long run and ignore people who will succeed. Outcomes themselves are only good evidence of the quality of the decisions behind them once you have a whole bunch of them such that "luck" is filtered out -- it's not a good way to evaluate a single decision.
A good decision is one made in which the most likely outcomes are good. All that said, I will absolutely concede the point that Jocketty may have signed Cairo not for his bat, but for his leadership. We don't know what information he had available at the time. But I promise you that no information he had suggested Cairo would hit like this. Virtually any player with MLB service time could have made positive contributions. I have a hard time believing that Jocketty knew something special about Cairo other than that he could play a few positions, be a clubhouse leader, and make some contact. That he's hitting the way he is has does not suggest to me that Jocketty had some magical foresight.
Let's just agree that he's having a nice season which we all hope continues and leave it at that.

Education, inspiration, and corporate imagery are the focus at Epcot, the most adult of the Disney theme parks. What it gains in taking a futuristic, visionary, and technological look at the world, it loses, just a bit, in warmth, happiness, and charm.
Some people find the attempts at education to be superficial, while others want more entertainment and less education. Most visitors, however, are in between, finding plenty of entertainment and education.
Epcot is more than twice as big as the Magic Kingdom or Disney's Hollywood Studios and, though smaller than Disney's Animal Kingdom, has more territory to be covered on foot. Epcot rarely sees the congestion so common in the Magic Kingdom, but it has lines every bit as long as those at the Jungle Cruise or Space Mountain.
Epcot's size means you can't see it all in one day without skipping an attraction or two and giving others a cursory glance. A major difference between Epcot and the other parks, however, is that some Epcot attractions can be savored slowly or skimmed, depending on personal interests. For example, the first section of Chevrolet's Test Track is a thrill ride, the second a collection of walkthrough exhibits. Nearly all visitors take the ride, but many people, lacking time or interest, bypass the exhibits.
Unofficial Tip
Visitors must come prepared to do considerable walking among attractions and a comparable amount of standing in line.
We have identified several Epcot attractions as "not to be missed." But part of the enjoyment of the park is that there's something for everyone. Ask your group. They're sure to have a variety of opinions as to which attraction is "best."
Operating Hours
Epcot has two themed areas: Future World and World Showcase. Each has its own operating hours. Though schedules change throughout the year, Future World always opens before World Showcase in the morning. While most of Future World's attractions stay open until the entire park closes, a few usually close around 7 p.m. World Showcase opens two hours later than Future World. Moreover, some attractions open late or close early. For exact park hours during your visit, call 407-824-4321. For the operating schedule of specific attractions, check the park handout map or the supplemental Times Guide available at no charge throughout the park.
Unofficial Tip
Plan to arrive at the turnstiles 30-40 minutes prior to the official opening time. Give yourself an extra 10 minutes or so to park and make your way to the entrance.
If you are a guest at one of the Epcot resorts, it will take you about 20-30 minutes to walk from your hotel to the International Gateway (back entrance of Epcot) and from there to Future World section of the park. Instead of walking, you can catch a boat from your Epcot resort hotel to the International Gateway and then walk about eight minutes to the Future World section. To reach the front (Future World) entrance of Epcot from the Epcot resorts, either take a boat from your hotel to the Disney's Hollywood Studios and transfer to an Epcot bus, take a bus to Downtown Disney and transfer to an Epcot bus, or best of all, take a cab.
Arriving at the park by private automobile is easy and direct. Epcot has its own parking lot and, unlike at the Magic Kingdom, there's no need to take a monorail or ferry to reach the entrance. Trams serve the parking lot, or you can walk to the front gate. Monorail service connects Epcot with the Transportation and Ticket Center, the Magic Kingdom (transfer required), and Magic Kingdom resorts (transfer required).
For unknown reasons, getting through entrance security at Epcot is more cumbersome and time-consuming than at the other parks. In fact, it's a royal pain, as this unidentified reader relates:
My biggest complaint was the amount of time it took to actually get into Epcot: 35 minutes at 10:30 a.m. to get bags checked (park had opened at 9) and another 10 minutes to get in. It took nowhere near as long at the other parks, even with the same crowd size.
A Florida mother of a three-year-old agrees:
Lines were crazy first thing in the morning. Some cast members just glanced in a bag, and others opened every zipper and looked in every crevice of our bags and stroller. One time we got an overzealous employee whose line took 15 minutes—the longest line of the day.
Getting Oriented
Epcot's theme areas are distinctly different. Future World examines where mankind has come from and where it's going. World Showcase features landmarks, cuisine, and culture of almost a dozen nations and is meant to be a sort of permanent World's Fair.
Navigating Epcot is unlike getting around at the Magic Kingdom. The Magic Kingdom is designed so that nearly every location is part of a specific environment-Liberty Square or Main Street, U.S.A., for example. All environments are visually separated to preserve the integrity of the theme.
Epcot, by contrast, is visually open. And while it seems strange to see a Japanese pagoda and the Eiffel Tower on the same horizon, getting around is fairly simple. An exception is Future World, where the enormous Innoventions buildings hide everything on their opposite sides.
At Epcot, the architectural symbol is Spaceship Earth. This shiny, 180-foot geosphere is visible from almost everywhere in the park. Like Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom, Spaceship Earth can help you keep track of where you are in Epcot. But it's in a high-traffic area and isn't centrally located, so it isn't a good meeting place.
Any of the distinctive national pavilions in World Showcase make a good meeting place, but be specific. "Hey, let's meet in Japan!" sounds fun, but each pavilion is a mini-town with buildings, monuments, gardens, and plazas. You could wander quite awhile "in Japan" without finding your group. Pick a specific place in Japan-the sidewalk side of the pagoda, for example.

July 21, 1999
Attorney represented Client in a domestic issue involving a child, not the product of Client's marriage. Attorney also represented Client in gaining custody of the child. In the course of these representations, attorney discussed the matters with Client's spouse present and privately with Client's spouse, "particularly when Client was unavailable. ..."
Client and spouse are now getting divorced. Spouse has hired counsel and objected to Attorney's possible representation of Client. Attorney believes "the issues in the divorce [are] limited to property related issues" and neither "custody of their child,. . .nor [fault] will be at issue." Attorney further believes that the spouse was never Attorney's client.
Attorney seeks the Ethics Committee's opinion as to whether Attorney can ethically represent Client over the objection of Client's spouse.
It appears that Attorney's question turns first on resolution of the accuracy of Attorney's belief that "Client's [spouse] was [never attorney's] client. . . ." That issue is a factual dispute beyond the authority of this Committee to finally resolve. See Ethics Committee Guidelines.
The answer to whether the spouse was a client, however, is not simply answered by Attorney's belief that Attorney never represented Client's spouse. This Committee examined the question of discussion with a spouse creating an attorney-client relationship in Ethics Opinion 93-15 and felt that SDCL 19-13-2(1) contained the definition of client. The South Dakota Supreme Court also examined the question of who is or may claim to be clients. State v. Catch the Bear, 352 NW2d 640 (SD 1984). The Court likewise utilized SDCL 19-13-2(1) to define client as "a person, public officer, or corporation or other organization or entity either public or private, who is rendered professional legal services by a lawyer, or who consults a lawyer with a view to obtaining professional legal services. ..." (emphasis added). Catch the Bear, 352 NW2d at 645, n.1. The Court made clear that the lawyer's perception of who is client is "not controlling evidence." Catch the Bear, 352 NW2d at 646. The question "hinges not on the lawyer's perception of the relationship but on the client's belief that [he or she] is consulting a lawyer to obtain professional legal services." Catch the Bear, 352 NW2d at 645.
Resolution of the issue whether Client's spouse can make a claim to be another client leads to the ethical questions. If the spouse can claim she in fact consulted Attorney in the prior matters, "with a view to obtaining professional legal services," she may be a former client. Rule 1.9(a) precludes representation adverse to a former client "in the same or a substantially related matter" without the former client's consent. The former client, if the spouse is so deemed, will not consent.
This Committee has opined that matters are substantially related if there are "similar issues involved or if the former representation involved confidential information that is useful or germane to any issue in the matter you are now considering." Ethics Opinion 99-4. For more definitive discussion of what may be "substantially related", see Ethics Opinions 98-7 and 94-14. In addition, Rule 1.8(b) precludes use of information relating to representation. . .to the detriment of a client. ..."
Resolution of Attorney's question involves determining whether spouse is a "former client." If not, no ethical problem arises from handling the divorce. Even if spouse is a "former client," Attorney may ethically handle the divorce if it is not a "substantially related" matter, or the spouse does consent.
Lonnie R. Braun
Chair, Ethics Committee

Our fight for the 99% isn't taking time off for the holidays -- it's too important. Today, thousands of activists will be on Capitol Hill to make sure Congress hears our demands for economic fairness.
Please add your voice to the chorus. Click here to write a letter to your U.S. Representative.
It's a tune we're all too familiar with: As our country watches the ticking clock of the "fiscal cliff," vital social safety net services like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are at risk.
Cutting healthcare and other vital services millions of Americans depend on would be bad for the economy and hurt families that are already struggling to make ends meet. Congress needs to ensure the rich pay their fair share while they focus on shrinking the economic inequality gap and protecting the vital services working families depend on.
In November, we voted for an America that invests in its workers, not one that continues to favor the 1%. Still, Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans are refusing to help the middle class and showing their loyalty to the rich and wealthy corporations...unless the rich are given a tax cut they don't need.
Please take a moment to write your member of Congress to tell him or her to protect Medicare, Medicaid and other services working people depend on.
As activists and union members carry their message to Capitol Hill today, you can follow the action live on Twitter using hashtag #D18.

Science created him. Now Chuck Norris wants to destroy him.
|Science created him. Now chuck norris must destroy him.
Editor's NoteSix-time World Karate Champion Chuck Norris is a small town sheriff Dan Stevens, a man whose job gets increasingly more difficult after he shoots murderer John Kirby (Brain Libby) at the scene of the crime. After Kirby's body is taken to a local medical institute, a trio of local scientists try out a new serum on the murderer's body which both revives him and causes any injuries he obtains to quickly heal. The reanimated, and now seemingly indestructible, murderer kills the doctors and escapes, leaving an increasing number of corpses in his wake. This combination of FRANKENSTEIN, HALLOWEEN, and martial arts was the first in a profitable string of pictures for Norris.

There's something about brownies that make us feel, well, blissful. Maybe it's the way that they combine the best of the worlds of cookies and cakes. Perhaps it's the ingredient that makes everything better (cocoa!). But we'd like to do without that side serving of guilt that comes with your average brownie. This recipe incorporates the healthy fats in a variety of nuts with the good-for-you qualities of cocoa powder. Cinnamon and vanilla add natural sweetness while dates create the perfect chewy texture. But the best part? They're no-bake!
No-Bake Vegan Nut-Butter Brownies
Makes 8
1/3 cup of nut butter (natural peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter)
3 Tbsp. cocoa powder or carob powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup of almonds
3/4 cup chopped dates
1. Use food processor to grind almonds. Add remaining ingredients, one by one, until completely combined.
2. Place mixture baking pan and press down.
3. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, then cut.
(Note: If you want to reduce the calories, experiment with using smaller amounts of dates and replacing them with plum baby food, unsweetened apple sauce, plain Greek yogurt or unsweetened almond milk. The consistency will be softer. Another option: Cut smaller brownies and top with sliced fresh fruit.)

13 year old Tom Ward becomes apprentice to the County Spook.He has to fight Boggarts, ghosts and Witches and the terrifying Mother Malkin.
2.The Spooks Curse
When the Spooks brother dies Tom has to face a terrifing creature named The Bane alone.
3.The Spooks Secret
Tom and the Spook have to move to the freezing town named Anglezarke but can they defeat a former Spook named Morgan who is trying to summon one of The Old Gods.
4.The Spooks Battle
When Tom's brother Jack and his family get kidnapped by the witches of Pendle can Tom stop the covens uniting to summon The Devil as well as save his family.
I know they were very brief synopsis' but i didn't want to spoil anything
The first book is available on Amazon for £3.76 so I think if you ever come across it in a bookshop you should buy it.

50 years ago today renowned poet Robert Frost took his last breath. This anniversary has got a few of us at Greenpeace thinking about his poetry and one work in particular, "The Road Not Taken." Those words and the emotions they evoked similarly inspired the work several of us, and perhaps you, do for Greenpeace today.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
While several travelers choose the road to a better collective future for humanity and its habitat, it is no easy journey, and in fact, it would be far easier to give up. Yet there is a reason we don't. Take a moment to remember the time you decided on the roads you've chosen or could have chosen and what difference that made in your life. Perhaps they have something to do with why you're finding yourself reading a Greenpeace blog today.
Listen below to a reading by Robert Frost of "The Road Not Taken."

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Join John Derry, one of the original Corel Painter authors, as he shares the creative techniques that will get beginners up and running, and shows old hands the new features that can get a creative vision out of your head and on to your canvas. The course demonstrates how to create projects, use Painter brushes and painting styles, build templates, and work with layers and channels. John also shares pointers on setting up a Wacom tablet to interface with Painter.
In the last video we talked about what to do when a brush goes south on you, when you've made adjustments to it, or you forgot you made some changes to it, the last time you used it, and you call it up a month later and it's not behaving anything like you like. That's where you use the panic button in relationship to brushes. But what you do when Painter itself starts to behave badly? One thing that can happen is just something gets corrupted, and you find that every time you try to launch Painter it'll start to launch and boom, it crashes, every time over and over. What do you do? Well, the best thing to do at that point is do the old Shift+Restart.
So, I'm going to show you this. We're going to go ahead and close Painter. Let's just say it's been crashing on me, I'm not having any luck. I'm going to hold down my Shift key and now I'm going to launch Painter. So, it'll start up initially but then you get this. You can say, do you want to restore Painter to its factory-default settings? And you will erase customizations and things, but if the alternative is not to run Painter at all, it's better to revert to a default workspace settings then to not be able to work at all. And if it's really bad, you could even say I want to reset all of my workspaces.
I'm just going to go ahead and say Current Workspace here and now it's launching and anything file changes or corrupt files or whatever that happened before that we're causing that will go away. For example, we previously had this set, so that this was unchecked and you can seek now it's coming up just as if it's a brand-new copy of Painter. So everything is back to the original version of the application. You shouldn't have to use this very often, but in times where you just can't get things right, the best advice I can offer you is to use the Shift+Restart and get yourself back to a clean workspace and then go from there.

Good water heater
By Bill L.
from Chicago, IL
My unit is the Reliance 606 Series 74 Gallon Short High Output Gas Water. Seems to be a good unit, but I've only had it a few weeks; so that's about all I can say. Unit is installed in a two-story residence with two adults living there.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery by Abt was quick and their installers were friendly, professional and did a nice installation

Hot Long Showers
By Hot Shower
I have 3 different rain showers in my house. This product produces enough hot water for multiple hot showers. I tried the 50 gallon tank and it didn't have the horsepower that this one has.
The guys at ABT are great. Very professional and on time. They showed me how to turn it on and operate it. They also fixed my sink water purifier for free.

Big Hot Water Heater, Funky Front Wires
By Michele
from Glencoe, IL
I was excited to see this large hot water heater available from Abt, the price was reasonable and the unit fit in the same space as my previous one. My biggest issues are: this unit doesn't send hot water to my showers and sinks very fast and there are a lot of wires hanging out the front (not sure what they are for) -- glad I don't have little ones. That would worry me.
Delivery was in timely fashion (next day I believe). They arrived when they said they would. They removed my old machine. Only negative, they didn't clean up after themselves. I had to wipe the floors after they left.
Merchant response: If you are having technical issues with the water flow on your hot water tank (and it was purchased from Abt), please call our appliance service department at 847-967-8830 for assistance. Abt apologize that the installers did not clean up after themselves. The installers are typically more efficient in there delivery and installs.
Delivery is subject to reasonable access to the area without damaging the purchaser's property or the product, or jeopardizing the safety of the delivery personnel.

Little did Queen Margaret of Scotland know in 1288, when she anointed every fourth year as a leap year to encourage women to be more assertive in the dating game, that 2012 would see gay women, more than any other group, successfully upturning long-held female traditions.
Mollie Thomas' announcement of her intention to run for Miss California in this weekend's pageant stirs a very sacred pot. Pageants are typically reserved for the proper, the straight, and the narrow. She is anything but.

Cabbage Rolls at Niko Niko's?
I am looking to narrow down a copycat recipe for the cabbage rolls at Niko Niko's in Houston, Texas. My bf and I recently ate there when we were traveling through and really liked them. I think they are more Croatian than Greek, though it's a Greek place. Would love any tips the community could share.

Islanders Spotlight: Elisa Beagle
World traveler has found a home in CC - and in the paint
Sometimes Elisa Beagle wants a nice, warm glass of milk. Other times, a "mum" might slip out in conversation. And still yet, there are good memories of the soccer pitch.
But other than those few items, it's difficult to tell that Beagle has traveled all the way from her early days in England to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, via Houston.
And, where Beagle once knocked over smaller opponents in soccer, she now finds herself - despite standing 6 feet tall - as the one who is smaller in the post on the basketball court.
"My first love was not basketball. It was soccer," Beagle said. "I was big for my age, and all the girls were up to my shoulder, and I was towering over everybody. I would run on the field, knock down the girls and take the ball and score. I loved that."
That specific loving feeling has been gone since she made the switch in junior high to another love - basketball. Beagle has been the undersized one since, and spent this summer at the renowned Pete Newell Camp to craft her game against taller opponents.
It was a roundabout journey to Pete Newell's and A&M-Corpus Christi. Beagle's mom, Henrietta King, is from the African nation of Sierra Leone but went to boarding school in England.
Plying her trade as a nurse, King found employment opportunities across the world. Beagle was born in the United States but left for England as an infant. She stayed in Europe until she was six.
When she came back to the United States, Beagle stayed with relatives in Virginia but brought back a few English customs.
Her relatives still laugh in delight at Beagle's English accent - since lost, save for the occasional "mum" - and were disgusted by her penchant for drinking warm milk.
"It was quite an adjustment for her," King said. "She was young, so she adapted quite well."
Beagle retained her love for soccer, and for knocking down smaller opponents. But people kept telling her to try basketball.
Beagle resisted at first, but gradually gave in and played both sports.
"People kept telling me, 'You're tall, you're big, you should play basketball.' I was hesitant at first. Just because I was tall didn't mean I should try basketball," Beagle said. "I did it for a year and I wasn't that good. But I don't like to quit on stuff, and my mother wouldn't have let me quit anyway. I just kept with it and fell in love with it."
Her big break came from a Texas AAU coach who picked Beagle on potential alone. He saw a raw player with promise.
"I wasn't that good at the time, but the coach saw a lot of potential and he decided to keep me," Beagle said. "Even though I wasn't that coordinated, and I was growing and my feet were big and I was tripping all over myself, he said I had heart and hustle.
"He said that I was a strong player and could overpower anybody if I put my mind to it."
When it came time to pick one or the other, Beagle went with a new love in basketball. While she developed as a tough inside player, she still is the smaller one, with many post players towering above her.
Beagle and King searched for a way to improve her game and her approach toward taller opponents. Newell, who has been noted for developing big players from the 1950s through today, was a natural choice.
Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O'Neal, Scottie Pippen - a few of the many NBA stars who have sought Newell's help. He has an Olympic gold medal as a coach, to go with an NCAA championship and, back when it meant a lot more, an NIT title.
So, the camp is more than hype.
Beagle put in eight hours of drills for three days at the camp. She also brought back a DVD to help her remember the variety of moves and tips she learned at the camp.
Better still, she had to constantly go up against players taller than her by five inches. She lost her fear of bigger opponents.
"Going to the camp helped me overcome my fear of bigger girls," Beagle said. "I had been intimidated playing against bigger girls. And I was one of the shorter girls there.
"I loved the competition. I love getting into the post and fighting for position, getting the ball and scoring. I love it because it makes it seem like you worked hard for it."
It's different than being on the
soccer pitch, but Beagle doesn't mind being the smaller one now.

Looking at used boots: motocross boots vs. ....?

MX boots are not the most enjoyable thing when not riding MX. I just bought and then returned a pair of Sidi Adventure Rains because I thought I could live with a boot that offered that kind of protection. Mind you, the Adventure Rain boots are not full MX boots. They are intended as a crossover boot, but they crossed WAY too far to the MX side for my street riding and commuting. Downshifting was an absolute chore. With little to no ankle flex and s stiff sole, you can't raise your toe and that means you have to lift your foot from the peg and mash the shifter down. If you're standing on the pegs, maybe this isn't such a big deal, but it is to me.
Another consideration is how easy they are to take on an off. I know you said you'll be carrying shoes, but honestly that isn't as easily done as you think. For instance, if you are just running into McDonalds, would you change? How about a stop at the grocery on the way home? Walking in tall ski boots with no flex is clumsy and uncomfortable.
I'm not saying not to do it, but I am saying that unless you are riding motocross, you may really hate MX boots and you will have wasted money that could have gone toward boots that actually meet your riding needs.
Morton's BMW is having their Octoberfest open house this weekend. I know they have some boots that will be on a sale rack. IIRC, they have some older model BMW boots that are going well under retail. Sizes may be small (there is a reason they still have some of them). They also have the BMW All-Around which are great boots for about half the price of the top end touring boots. They are still beyond your budget but maybe you can find something you like. Come on down. I volumteer to work the used bike tent so stop in and say hello.

I know nothing about this group as yet. It was filmed in part in Fieldgate Street behind the East London Mosque in Whitechapel. The account holder "Muslim Patrol" is using a picture of Sharia 4UK as his ID but again I can't confirm that he/they are of that group. The style is similar.
Whatever it's a diabolical liberty and interference with public liberty.
Well whadya know:
Lots of muslim videos are so treated by YouTube, meaning that uninformed kaffirs can never see what violent muslim thugs get up to.
The Undercover Mosque videos have all been "blocked (= removed ) on copyright grounds". Now dhimmis doubt ones words about their contents. "You're exaggerating - as usual..."
Well-intentioned islamophiliacs like the silent Vickie Park are no doubt responsible for bringing to the attention of YouTube the implications of non-muslims misunderstanding the calls for jihad, the veiling of women and the killing of queers and Jews that were openly discussed in the Undercover Mosque programme.
If, as I assume, these vicious sharia thugs, in a parade of entirely fake self-righteousness, have been publicly harassing women and girls whom they deem to be unislamically dressed, isn't it peculiar how on the one hand, in public, on the street or on the beach, they (and their accompanying gang molls) jeer and sneer at and insult and catcall and threaten non-Muslim women, for example, on beaches in Australia, at Cronulla or on the Gold Coast, yelling at them to 'cover up', supposedly in the name of 'modesty' and 'religion'...and yet, at the same time, if the female is an underaged kuffar 'possession of the right hand', she will be made to 'dress like that'?
"She would be made to dress up, wear very short skirts and a bikini top, do her hair and put on lots of make-up'" (description of part of what was done to an under-age English non-Muslim girl who was being used behind closed doors as an S & M plaything by vicious Mohammedan males in the UK).
And for all their looking down their noses at British pubs, hey seem to have no qualms whatever about using alcohol - and much stronger, illegal psycho-active substances - to manipulate and abuse, degrade and destroy little-girl victims.
The more I see of Islam and the unutterably vile behaviour it seems to produce in so many, many, many of its adherents, the more I feel a strong desire to vomit.

New Security Developments, Best Practices, and Important Security Updates
Below are updated instructions for MSE installation for 32 bit or 64 bit versions of Windows:
1. Uninstall any previous Anti-virus products (esp. the 60 day trial AV products that may have come with your system)
2. Reboot your system to ensure a clean start
3. Go the WINDOWS UPDATE site to install all updates for improved protection. There is a Malicious Software Removal Tool which will clean up major virus or spyware infections that could be present on your system.
4. PREREQUISITES: You must be on latest service packs for your Operating System (SP3 for XP). Also in order to download MSE, your system must be WGA compliant. At this site Click on VALIDATE BUTTON to ensure your system is WGA compliant if you have not done this in the past or are working with a new or newly built PC:
5. Then visit Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) site and click DOWNLOAD Button. There is also an Installation Video to guide in this process you can watch 1st if desired using Media Player
6. MANUAL UPDATE OPTION: MSE will automatically update itself, but the first update may be time-consuming. On a high speed Internet connection, I've found it useful to manually Download latest virus definitions (great technique for updating a secondary dial up only PC that you might want to protect)
Older 32 Bit systems (XP, Vista) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=87342
Newer 64 Bit systems (Vista, Windows 7)http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=87341
After downloading, click on MPAM-FE.EX (32 bit) or MPAM-FEX64.EXE (64 bit). It will automatically install lastest definitions in a couple of minutes. If you have PCs that never connect to the Internet, this technique is a great way of staying updated with MSE.
7. Reboot system to ensure MSE starts automatically and with a green icon displayed in the System Tray area.
8. Launch Microsoft Security Essentials from Start Menu and select FULL SCAN to ensure your system is malware free. This may take an hour or two depending on the size of system. You can let it run unattended. Check each of the tabs for desired times to update and other desired settings.
9. Ensure your system is set for AUTOMATIC UPDATES (the WIndows Update process) if desired. The link in step 1 above allows you to select this option
10. If the MSE icon in the System Tray changes to any other color than GREEN, it indicates a problem (and usually a pop-up message will occur recommending AV signature updates or the need for a weekly scan). The quick scan satisfies the need for a scan and it's good once per month to do a full scan which may take a couple of hours and can run while you're away from the PC.
QUOTE: Microsoft Security Essentials is a free download from Microsoft that is simple to install, easy to use, and always kept up to date so you can be assured your PC is protected by the latest technology. It's easy to tell if your PC is secure — when you're green, you're good. It's that simple

Thank you for over 12.9 million views of the SuccuWiki!
Astarotte Ygvar Figurine
From SuccuWiki - The Wiki of the Succubi
For other uses of the word Succubus, see Succubus (disambiguation).
This is a one-eighth scale officially licensed model of the succubus character Astarotte Ygvar from the Japanese series Astarotte no Omocha! manufactured by Chara-Ani. It shows Astarotte sitting on a dais deep in thought.
- Manufactured by: Chara-Ani
- Scale: 1/8 Scale (120mm)
- Release Date: March 2012
- Official Astarotte no Omocha! Figure
- Price: $90 USD
- Limited Availability
- Official Description: The Succubus princess is sulking, and there are a lot of reasons for this. Someone might have told her that she needs a bigger harem, or that her mother has done something embarrassingly flamboyant again. Yet, the color on her cheeks suggests that she might not be so angry that collectors should be afraid to take her home. Her wavy flaxen hair falls over her back, creating a sort of cape and pools onto the base. Her rounded cheeks and massive green eyes make her look even younger and tinier. And by sitting with her legs drawn up like a grumpy child, she is begging to be picked up and consoled.

why does mileage scare people from the 950
I have a 06 950 adv with 39,000 miles I have another friend with a 06 950 sm that is showroom clean with 43,000 and another friend that has a 05.5 950 adv
with over 40,000 that is off road 90% of the time and when any us try to sell all we hear is " I am concerned about all the miles"
This confuses me
I bought my 950 in november of 07 so I have had it for 6 years and put 39,000 miles on it , so that is 6500 miles a year, That's nothing!!
I have another bike and wife's bike I ride occasionally. I do not keep up but between them all I ride about 15,000 miles a year. Which is 1250 miles a month which is about 400 miles a week, I ride 300 on my day off Friday and then another 100 miles with my old guy crew on Sunday.
I bought my bikes to RIDE them not to tell the neighbors I have one.I just do not get this the KTM'S are enduro race machines the 950
motor was built for Dakar I just don't see why the rumors of reliability Issue fly around.
I must admit as much as this site helps with the KTM 950 I think it hurts cause most of time people only post when they have some problem so all the people read is problems, problems and more Problems.
Just my thoughts!
Have a great day!!
