Raid Passion Desert Maroc 2012
Roadbook Rally in Morocco - 2'500 km in 10 days
I participated in this year's Raid Passion Desert Maroc (RPDM). The start was on April 28 in Agadir, the end on May 7 in Fez. The RPDM is a roadbook rally, but it is not a race. It does not matter how fast you ride, in fact, time isn't even measured. Ranking is based on navigation skills. Each stage has a target distance, which is the distance covered if you make no navigation mistakes. Deviating from the target distance results in penalties. The winner is the one with the fewest penalties at the end of all 10 stages. There are from 2 to 5 checkpoints per stage, to prevent participants from taking shortcuts. This year there were 60 motorcycles, 25 quads and 50 cars.
The RPDM is organized by a French company called "Sudexpe" (www.sudexpe.com). I'm in no way affiliated with this company. The organization is very good, provided you speak French or have someone with you who does. Overnight stays were in hotels, with the exception of two nights where we stayed in Berber tents way out in the desert. For each motorcyclist, the organizers transport a standardized box (80 x 50 x 40 centimers, for tools and spare parts) and a sportsbag (for clothes). There is no need to carry any luggage on the bike at all. You get access to your box and bag every day at the end of the stage. The only things you need to carry on your bike are 3+ liters of water, navigation gear (roadbook reader, tripmaster, GPS), some tools, and emergency gear (signal rockets, compass, mirror).
The total distance covered this year was 2'500 kilometers (1550 miles) in 10 days. About 20% of that were on tarmac, 70% on pistes (dirt roads), and 10% was off-road, like riverbeds, sand dunes, or dry lakes. Riding time per day was between 5 and 8 hours. This is _riding_ time only, indicated as "moving time" on the GPS. The total time to get from start to finish every day was typically between 6 and 10 hours, including breaks. Navigation is by roadbook and GPS. Entries in the roadbook are numbered. You get the GPS coordinates for some of the roadbook entries, in case you get lost. If you know the GPS coordinates for, say, roadbook entry nr. 47, you simply navigate to that place by GPS and then you are in sync with the roadbook again. Bikes need to have an autonomy of 250 km. This means no huge tanks are needed, a 13 liter tank will do. If there is no gas station within 250 km, then the organization will arrange fuel depots for the bikes.
I'll post a brief summary of every stage over the next couple of days, complete with pictures and some videos taken with my helmet camera.
Here is the tracklog of the complete route:
And here are some pictures of sights along the route:

Bike Preparation
For this years ride I wanted a lightweight bike, because some sections are quite tricky: sand dunes, riverbeds with rocks of all sizes, narrow and steep dirt roads with loose rocks and rock steps, and silt for miles. I decided to get a KTM 350 EXC-F, which is both lightweight (125 kg with a full 13 liter tank) and powerful (46 HP). This choice turned out to be perfect for me. The bike was very easy to ride and had no issues at all during the 2'500 km of the trip. I did a similar trip last year on a KTM 690 Enduro. While the 690E had no issues either, it turned out too be too heavy for me, especially with the extra fuel tanks and navigation gear added. The 350 was way easier to ride, I was a lot faster on it and at the same time felt safer and got less tired.
Here are some pictures of my 350 EXC-F while being prepared:
Spare parts ready to go into the rally box
13 liter tank, Michelin Desert tires and Bib-Mousses still need to be fitted
Giovanni the Gerbil checks if everthing has been fitted properly
I made the following modifications to the bike:
- Fitted 13 liter tank
- Added radiator fan
- Added plastic bash plate
- Added aluminum hand guards
- Added protector for clutch slave cylinder
- Added protector for rear brake disk
- Changed gearing to Z14 / Z50
- Added Scott steering damper
- Replaced springs in the fork with softer ones to match my weight
- Replaced spring of rear shock with a softer one
- Added navigation gear (MD roadbook reader, ICO trip master, Garmin GPSmap 60CSx)
And this is the bike ready to go:

Moving the bike to Agadir
I live near Zurich / Switzerland, and the start of the Rally-Raid is in Agadir in Morocco. The distance from Zurich to Agadir is about 2500 kilometers, as the crow flies. The bike was moved in three steps.
Step one was the shortest (150 km), I delivered bike, box and bag to Jos in Chris in Basel, with this:
All of this was in my admittedly big and heavy sportsbag:
Jos took over for step two, he delivered three bikes, three boxes, and three bags to Sudexpe in Mazan / France. Mazan is near Avignon, from Basel it is about 600 km one way. This is how the three bikes traveled from Basel to Mazan:
Step three was the longest, from Mazan to Agadir. Sudexpe transported all bikes with trucks and big trailers all the way to Agadir. Their route was from Mazan to Barcelona / Spain, from there with a car ferry to Tangers / Morocco, and from there to Agadir. Fortunately all bikes made it without damage and the convoi wasn't held up at the border to Morocco, so everything arrived in time.

Travelling to Agadir
With my bike on the way, I travelled to Agadir one week later. Since there are no direct flights from Zurich to Agadir, I got on the TGV to Paris first (picture taken in Zurich main station):
The train ride to Paris was no doubt the fastest section on wheels of my trip. I could never match the speed of that train on my bike, according to my GPS it made 302 km/h top speed (188 mph). The train arrived at the Gare de Lyon, a train station from the Belle Epoque:
I have never seen so many TGVs in one place as in this train station:
By now you have probably figured out that trains are my other passion next to motorcycles ;-) I took a cab from the train station to Paris Orly airport, and from there a direct flight to Agadir. I took this picture shortly after taking off in Paris. If you look hard enough, you can see the Eiffel tower:
The flight from Paris to Agadir was about 3 hours, in a plane from Royal Air Maroc with a very friendly crew. This is shortly before landing in Agadir:
So I finally arrived in Agadir. There was a total of 2 (two) airplanes at the airport, including the one I arrived with:
The airport of Agadir may be small, but it is big in quality ;-) It proudly displays an ISO 9001 certificate:
After a short cab ride I arrived at the Hotel "Adrar", where the whole group met. The total party was about 220 people, including 60 people from the organization. My bike (# 207) was already there, right next to the entrance of the hotel:
After checking in and making the bike ready for the first stage tomorrow, it was time to have a beer at the bar together. We were 7 riders from Switzerland. From left to right - Stephan, Rainer, Tazio, Christian, Chris and Jos (I was behind the camera):
After a decent meal - Tagine and Couscous, what else - and a couple of beers we went to bed, full of expectations for the start of the rally-raid tomorrow...

Stage 1: Agadir to Agadir (April 28, 2012 / 167 km)
Finally the rally-raid starts ! After weeks of planning, preparing the bike, chasing parts and gear, packing and what else I'm anxious to get on the way.
Todays stage is a short loop into the mountains north of Agadir. Here is the track log:
The first few kilometers lead along the coast on a paved road, then we turn east into the mountains on a twisty road:
Conditions are perfect today - sunny, a little breeze and about 18 degrees celsius. No wonder Jos (right), Chris (center) and I are in perfect mood:
At last the real fun begins, we leave pavement and get on a dirt road. The road isn't difficult, but small and windy and thus we can't make more than about 40 kilometers per hour. We stop in the shade of a tree for lunch. Lunch means two energy bars and a few gulps from the camelback:
While we were stopped, the guys on the single side car in the rally-raid catched up with us:
They spent about as much time for fixing their bike than for riding, but they made it to the end of the rally-raid. Unfortunately the same could not be said of this guy:
I've never seen such a quad before. It is basically a KTM 990 Adventure on the chassis of a quad. When it worked he was fast, but eventually he dropped out with electrical problems.
Soon after lunch we arrive at the first checkpoint:
The organization all being French has the distinct advantage that provisions are high on the priority list. The charming ladies at CP1 are busy preparing coffee for weary riders:
I can use a dose of caffeine for sure:
In the meantime Chris tries to figure out what this sign says. Needless to say, we didn't succeed:
Refreshed with coffee, we are on the way soon again and enjoy the sights along the route. This is a view towards Agadir, the river barely visible in the background is the Qued Sousse:
The road is not much of a challenge for my 350, but it requires permanent attention because of the many turns and dropoffs right next to it:
Towards the end of the stage we ride through a beautiful valley with lots of palm trees:
Chris on his KTM 450 EXC and Jos on his Beta 450 RR enjoy the view:
We are almost done for today, the coast and Agadir are already in sight:
When we arrived at the hotel, the route for tomorrows stage was already mapped out:
After checking the bike and cleaning the air filter, I still have time for a short stroll to the beach of Agadir:
To summarize, todays stage was short and not at all difficult to ride, i.e. perfect to warm up for the more challenging stuff ahead. I'm just a little bit tired, nothing that a few beers and a decent meal couldn't fix. Dinner is at the hotel, today it is Couscous and Tagine for a change (yesterday it was Tagine and Couscous).
Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, everybody was busy after dinner to communicate todays impressions to kids, wifes, and friends, if - Inschallah - Wifi happens to work:
My next post will be about stage 2 from Agadir to Tafraoute.

Stage 2: Agadir to Tafraoute (April 29, 2012 / 336 km)
The rally-raid is getting serious today. About 340 kilometers are ahead of us. First, the tracklog of this stage:
Soon after the start, we get on a very sandy piste going South, parallel to the coast. I need about 15 minutes to warm up to riding in sand (haven't done that since last year at about the same time), but then it is a blast on the lightweight 350. Shortly before Tifnit we hit the first sand dunes of the trip:
And this is the way ahead:
The guys with the side car made it through the sand with a little help from a Landcruiser (this picture is from Michel Gonnet, the "official" photographer of the rally-raid):
The piste leads along the shore for another 60 kilometers, with beautiful sights of the Atlantic Ocean:
Time for a short break to care for biological needs and to enjoy the view:
The cliffs are seriously tall at this point, fortunately the piste is about 10 to 20 meters away from the edge:
The size of the cliff is evident when you look at the guy fishing on the rightmost part of the cliff. He's barely visible, just a black and white dot:
We make a brief stop at checkpoint 1, where the route turns inland:
The first gas stop is in Lahksass. The owner of the gas station probably makes the business of the month:
A cool drink at the restaurant at the gas station is highly welcome, the temperature is now close to 30 degrees celsius:
Our next stop is somewhere in the moonscape east of Lahksass, due to technical problems:
The GPS mount on Jos's bike is broken, nothing that couldn't be fixed with a few zip-ties:
Another couple of dozens kilometers of this are ahead of us, which is great:
Every now an then, we pass by a village:
The closer we get to Tafraoute, the more the piste improves and finally turns into a "gravel autobahn":
A short distance from Tafraoute the landscape is full of large round rocks, which are irresistible for Chris and myself. We both ride trials bikes back home:
Some artist liked the rocks too and painted them:
The last couple of kilometers before Tafraoute lead through a narrow canyon with lots of palm trees:
Arriving in Tafraoute, I learn that the group is divided between two hotels, because none of the hotels is big enough for all of the group. The main part of the group is in Hotel A, I'm in Hotel B. All the gear was delivered to Hotel A, and the (guarded) bike park is at Hotel A, too. From Hotel A to B its about a Mile. Nothing that couldn't be walked, but not with full motorcycle gear and a 20+ kg sportsbag. So I hitch a ride on the back of a pickup truck from Hotel A to B:
Dinner for the whole group is - of course - in Hotel A. I walk back to Hotel A, now in sneakers and without bag, which is fine. The menu is a big surprise, we get Tagine and Couscous ;-) After Dinner I walk back to Hotel B, have one more beer, and sleep like an angel.

Stage 3: Tafraoute to Tata (April 30, 2012 / 246 km)
Welcome to stage 3 of the Raid Passion Desert Maroc 2012 ! Today's stage is about 250 km, leading mostly through the Anti-Atlas mountains and touching the outskirts of the desert:
I am up early, because I have to hitch a ride from Hotel B to Hotel A, where my bike and the baggage drop off are. Hotel
B is the "Salama" in the center of Tafraoute:
The local car wash is still closed, as is the local newsstand:
The first couple of kilometers lead up a mountain pass. On top of the pass the thermometer reads 3 degrees celsius:
Between Tizerkine and Zaouia the piste leads through a canyon, high up on a cliff (Photo: Patrick Doby):
Later, coming down the side of a mountain, it is easy to see where the route continues (look for the dust cloud):
Interesting rock formations near Imitek:
At Imitek we turn South toward Akka, where it is time for a break for lunch. We stop at a small reservoir which is used to irrigate the palm groves:
Jos and Chris relax in the shade of some palm trees...
... while I'm giving away toys to the local kids:
After Akka the landscape turns more an more into desert and we make good progress. We arrive in Tata at 4:30, where we stay at the Hotel "Relais des Sables". By now the temperature is 30 degrees celsius. The hedges in front of the rooms are immediately put to use as hallstands to dry the sweaty gear:
After taking care of the bike - nothing to do except cleaning the air filter - I take a stroll through the palm grove right behind the Hotel:
As usual, dinner is at the hotel, and as usual, Tagine and Couscous are served. Today's stage was very dusty, I need an extra portion air filter cleaner (aka as beer) today ;-) I look forward to tomorrows stage, which is the first all-desert stage.

Stage 4: Tata to Erg Chegaga (May 1, 2012 / 276 km)
Todays stage leads through remote desert along the border to Algeria and ends at camp right next to Erg Chegaga. An "Erg" is an area completely covered with sand dunes. This is todays tracklog:
After a few kilometers on tarmac we head northeast on a rocky piste until we reach the oasis Ida Ou Lstane:
From there its Southeast until Tissint, where we stop for fuel. There is no gas station in Tissint, but a place that sells gas in plastic bottles. Looking at the plastic bottles, I'm really glad I installed an extra fuel filter before this trip:
Somewhere between Tissint and Lake Iriki we stop for lunch in the shade of the only tree for miles:
The piste is very smooth and we make good progress. Soon we are at Lake Iriki, which is dry most of the time:
Navigation across the dry lake is by GPS only. After the lake the piste gets sandy:
Here is a video from my helmet cam on this piste:
We arrive at the camp around 5pm. The camp is a permanent installation with berber tents, a building with a kitchen, and another one with toilets and showers. Believe it or not, the shower actually worked and the water was even hot ! Quite an accomplishment for a place 60 km away from the next settlement:
Gas for the bikes and quads was trucked to the camp by a Moroccan team. Smoking cigarettes while filling the bikes didn't occur to be a problem to them. Fortunately they ran out of smokes when we were in line:
The tents are arranged around a large courtyard, which doubles as restaurant:
Stefan, Rainer, Christian and Tazio look forward to dinner. Judging from what's on the table, could it be that we get Tagine and Couscous today ? You bet !
The dunes of Erg Chebbi are right behind the camp. Tomorrow's stage will lead us into this:
We enjoy a couple of beers with dinner and then go to sleep in the 1000-star hotel, anxious to ride the dunes tomorrow.

Stage 5 / Erg Chegaga to M'hamid (May 2, 2012 / 121 km)
Today's stage is short, but interesting. The first part is a loop in the dunes of Erg Chegaga, the second part is a short hop of 60 km on a desert piste to M'hamid. M'hamid is as far as you can go on paved roads if you are coming from up North. Here's the tracklog:
We get up early to avoid the heat:
Today's ride is by GPS points only, there is no roadbook. The GPS points coming up are somewhere in this:
Riding in the dunes turned out to be less difficult than I expected. The sand was reasonably self-supporting, with a only a few soft spots every now and then. Riding through the dunes was one of the highlights of this trip for me:
We stopped somewhere in the dunes to take pictures. The key is to stop only where you can get the bike moving again. A good place is the crest of a dune with the bike pointing downwards:
I shot this video on the first part of the dunes. Initially I was, uhhm, somewhat sceptical because I was not sure how firm the sand would be. Luckily it turned out to be quite hard:
Once out of the dunes again, we come across this building literally in the middle of nowhere:
Upon closer inspection it turns out te be a school for the kids of nomadic people. Obviously school is off today:
School or not, the building is highly welcome because it provides the only shade for miles:
After a brief break we get on the piste to M'hamid. The landscape out here is completely barren and looks like the pictures sent back from the Mars rovers:
The landscape becomes friendlier again once we get closer to M'hamid:
The temperature is well over 30 degrees celsius now. When we arrive in M'hamid we stop at the first restaurant to get some cold drinks, which are needed dearly:
In M'hamid we stay at a very nice campground called "Chez Les Pacha", with an even nicer pool:
Dinner is served at the restaurant of the campground. It turns out the restaurant specializes in Tagine and Couscous.
Tomorrow will be another long desert stage. I go to bed early and dream that I am riding on Mars...

Foundation Sports The Gambia, a charitable organisation based in the Netherlands, recently donated jerseys to The Gambia National Paralympic Committee Basketball team during a ceremony held at the Serrekunda West Mini-Stadium.
Handing over the set of jerseys, Yankuba Vermeulen, the founder of the Foundation, said: "I have already given my heart and love to the Gambian people and will continue to do so in many years to come, and I am hoping to give much more assistance and contribute my quota in the development of not only sports but education as well being my number one priority."
Ebrima Colley, the Basketball team manager who received the materials on behalf of the president of The Gambia National Paralympics Committee, Sulayman Colley, thanked Yankuba Vermeulen for his foresight and willingness to support their association, particularly the basketball team.

The United Nations has launched the International Year of Water Cooperation, which seeks to provide a platform for countries to collaborate in the management of the precious resource in the interest of peace and development.
In his video message for the International Year of Water Cooperation 2013, marked on February 11, the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, "Water is central to the well-being of people and the planet. We must work together to protect and carefully manage this fragile, finite resource."
More than half of the world's people depend daily on water resources shared by more than one country and 90 per cent of the global population live in countries that share river or lake basins. However, 60 per cent of the world's 276 international river basins lack any type of cooperative management framework.
Nigeria is also facing potable water challenges and the Ministry of Water Resources, led by Mrs. Sarah Ochekpe, has pledged to improve the nationwide supply of the precious liquid this year.
Ban stressed that with rising demands and changing climate conditions, it will be crucial for countries to work together to ensure every person has access to quality water.
"Each year brings new pressures on water. One-third of the world's people already live in countries with moderate to high water stress. Competition is growing between farmers and herders; industry and agriculture; town and country. Upstream and downstream, and across borders, we need to cooperate for the benefit of all - now and in the future," he added.
The General Assembly proclaimed 2013 International Year for Water Cooperation in 2010, following a proposal from Tajikistan. The Year will serve to raise awareness and prompt action on the multiple dimensions of water cooperation, such as sustainable and economic development, climate change and food security.
"Over-exploitation, management, financing of water resources, all of these aspects are incredibly important and cooperation at different levels is therefore critical," UNESCO Science Specialist Ms. Ana Persic, said during a media briefing to mark the start of the Year at UN Headquarters in New York, USA.
Persic added that the benefits of intensifying cooperation include poverty reduction, equity, economic growth, and the protection of the environment. "We know water is critical for human life, but it is also critical for life on Earth if we want to protect and sustainably manage the planet we have."
The UN representative of the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), Paul Egerton, underlined the link between climate change and water, stressing that extreme weather events result in desertification or extreme flooding in different areas and hinder development and access to safe water.
"Water scarcity triggers migration, refugees, situations where basic human rights are weakened or threatened," Egerton said, adding that fewer resources can also trigger conflict and governments need to address these risks immediately.
The official launch of the Year took place at the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation's (UNESCO) Headquarters in Paris, France. Opened by the agency's Director-General, Irina Bokova, the event gathered representatives from inter-governmental organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), scientists and policymakers from around the world to discuss themes such as existing mechanisms for water cooperation and regional, national and local cooperation around river basins. Cooperation on water issues will also be the theme for World Water Day, observed on 22 March.

ABC staffer goes for Bitcoin gold
blog We know the ABC is a public broadcaster and isn't likely to be offering the highest salaries in the world, but this is ridiculous. The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that one of Aunty's IT workers set up a system to use its vast server resources to make himself wealthy by generating uncounted Bitcoins — the controversial virtual currency. The story was originally published in Crikey's 'tips and rumours' section:
"Bitcoins, as Crikey explained on Monday, is an online-only currency system quickly increasing in value. And one ABC staffer has apparently cashed in, in a serious IT breach Crikey understands is being investigated by the national broadcaster."
We can't decide if the un-named ABC IT staffer is a petty criminal or a genius sysadmin bent on making it big with spare CPU cycles. Likely the second — which would probably make him chaotic neutral in type — a most dangerous character ;)

If only I had access to Google's servers..
You need GPU's otherwise with a plain old CPU it's pretty slow going.
I would imagine that this guy was able to scale it over hundreds of machines, none of which he (or she?) was paying for, so it's pretty much all "profit".
Back in the day I had to deal with a developer who'd taken advantage of the rather idiotic policy at that organisation of mandating open rsh access to all UNIX systems by running one of the distributed crypto-cracker tools across approximately one thousand servers and workstations. I recall wishing at the time that he'd put half as much effort into distributing the rather large builds our software dev people were running every night…
Is it just me, or does Bitcoin just seem like a waste of time?
A lot of "hard-coin" users scoffed at the idea of a piece of paper representing currency some time ago. I don't know about you but for me there is only about 2-3 things a month I need hard currency for now days, bring on the virtual: just as "real" as paper notes but a lot lighter to carry and harder to destroy.

Mr Darcy is a children's picture book written by Alex Field, and based on the much loved character from Jane Austen's masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice.
The story follows a gentle, sometimes lonely and rather reserved duck on his discovery of friendship, in particular the importance of allowing friends to help in a sticky situation.
The illustrations by Peter Carnavas, are delightful. Here's a sneak peek.
In terms of how this children's story is related to the book Pride and Prejudice, the focus is on the much-loved character Mr Darcy. Alex Field captures the essence of a proper English Gentlemen, a quality synonyms with Mr Darcy, and Peter Carnavas adds to this heart of the character through the illustrations, including a tall top hat.
Many of the main characters from Pride and Prejudice feature in the story — there's Lizzy and her sisters, Bingley, Caroline and Maria — however, they feature as an accompaniment to the main character and are less aligned with the novel.
The story is written in read-aloud language and channels the language of the Jane Austen period through lines like, "Are you in good heath?" This makes it fun to read for any Jane Austen fan like myself. Plus, all of my four children (aged from 4 to 10 years) loved story so it's a win-win situation: enjoyable for parents to read, fun for kids to listen to.
Last Word
Mr Darcy captures much of the essence of the well loved character by the same name. This book isn't a children's version of Pride and Prejudice but rather: a clever interpretation of the character Mr Darcy, woven with words and illustrations into a delightful story for young children. One can never have too much Mr Darcy, now can they?

45.1˚C here today
Hi all,
well, whilst our fellow US forum members are shivering in extreme weather, we down under are also experiencing a little more extreme weather than normal, 42.1˚C yesterday, 24.1˚C today with thousands of lightening strikes producing many serious bush fires, the same expected tomorrow and to peak at 46˚C Thursday.
We are thinking of you in the cold,I would swap some of our heat for some of you cold any day.
Cheers and keep smiling, it will get better.
Re: 45.1˚C here today
I spent a few months in SA and loved it. Am coming back this year but intend to be out before Christmas. It was great on the peninsular's but when the wind changed and came off the red sand country it got very hot very quickly.
We have had some 40 degree C up here in Queensland lately and it is not pleasant. I still think I prefer that to being buried in snow for months. There is always the A/C when it gets too hot. I expect that it is what you are borne to.
A Coopers or two might help in the hot times.
Re: 45.1˚C here today
You do get used to it but it is still uncomfortable.
As far as the coopers is concerned, there are a few bottles in the fridge, but I don't drink, so it is iced water or cordial. Iced coffee also goes down a treat.
Re: 45.1˚C here today
Holy S#$%, that is hot, did a quick yankee conversion, abt 114F for us. I would be glad to split the difference with you. Our high today of 0 degree C which is a warm spell for us right now.
Re: 45.1˚C here today
Neill, now I'm not saying that 45C is not hot in any way but I did a quick google.
South Australia funnly enough holds the distinction for the hottest recorded temp in Australia.
50.7C or a 123 F recorded in 1960 at Oodnadatta airport.
Regards dave
Re: 45.1˚C here today
We only got a mx of 42.2 yesterday. Unusual for us to record a lower temperature than Adelaide, we normally assume we'll be a degree or two hotter than the big smoke.
A few years ago, my brother rolled a fuel tanker coming out of Glendambo.
The boss didn't sack him. He did, however, have to "pay penance" by hauling crude oil out of Jackson for 18 months.
He said the "roads" were really bad, and he'd have to spend his down time under the trailers welding up the spring boxes and stuff that cracked due to the rough treatment.
One day he hung the thermometer out of his fridge under the trailer to see how hot it was when he was working, and he reckons he saw 55 degrees.:eek:
Nothing official of course, but man that is hot.
Re: 45.1˚C here today
We had low 50s in Egypt waiting to go into Tutankhamen's tomb.
The line kept getting shorter as people kept fainting in front of us.
Re: 45.1˚C here today
Lots of Aussie fail to recognise that consuming alcohol in this weather can actually kill you. It's OK if you are safely tucked up in an airconditioned pub for the duration, but guys who drink alcohol while they are actually out inthe sun suffer greatly.
That would be Farmers Union Iced Coffee, I expect?
Re: 45.1˚C here today
Hi Mick,
Port Pirie would be getting close to these temps eh?
Today it only got just over 44˚C which doesn't really feel much different to 38˚C. Tomorrow however will tell the tale as 46˚C is predicted, luckily I am working indoors but that doesn't help much when painting.
Re: 45.1˚C here today
Didn't have to goggle it .... It came across the local news on the way home from work. Adelaide of course is due 46C tomorrow. Adelaide's record is 46.1C in 1946, so you might break the record.
Recon that's a reason to try a red cordial...probably will not taste the same as it did when you were 10.
On a side note. I spent a bit of my teenage years in a little country town in the north west NSW. The pool was the focal point of the town for a kid in the summer holidays ( 6 weeks over Xmas for our northern friends)
If the temp hit 100F it was closed... Till 6 pm. Pool normally closed at 9 pm. Those missing hours were added to the 9 pm close. A kid could swim till 3 pm in the morning if it was really hot, turned the kids into night owls .... Without Internet either.

Cisco launches draft Wi-Fi kit

Apple's 802.11n accounting conundrumJanuary 19, 2007
The Aironet 1250 series access point is the only commercially available product to have been part of the Wi-Fi Alliance's testbed of Draft 2.0 products. The Wi-Fi Alliance embarked on an early "certification" of the draft standard in June because suppliers were becoming impatient with delays in getting the standard properly certified by the Institute of Electrial and Electronics Engineers, or IEEE--a process now scheduled to be completed next year at the earliest.
Some other manufacturers, notably Motorola, have decided to hold off on the production of business-grade 802.11n equipment until the IEEE has given its official approval. Even Frank Hanzlik, the former head of the Wi-Fi Alliance, claimed that the draft certification was primarily aimed at satisfying the consumer sector.
Richard Moir, a Cisco spokesperson, said on Wednesday that there was "85 percent agreement within the Wi-Fi Alliance" regarding the second draft of the 802.11n specification. "Even though this is Draft 2.0, what we're hoping is that, bar a few software changes, (it will be the same as) the final release next year. Customers will have already made an investment."
If the final specification for 802.11n did require a change in the hardware, upgrading the Cisco access point would be "a simple matter of popping out one radio card and putting in another," Moir said, adding that a "fair" upgrade cost might be incurred, if necessary.
The 802.11n standard is seen by many as a huge advance in Wi-Fi technology due to its increased reliability and predictability. Cisco's new access point will bring some of that improved functionality to 802.11b and 802.11g clients due to its backward-compatibility, Moir claimed.
Cisco also announced other 802.11n products on Tuesday, including the 48Gbps Catalyst 6500-based wireless-area-network controller system, and wired and wireless services monitored and managed by Cisco's Unified Wireless Network Software Release 4.2.
David Meyer of ZDNet UK reported from London.

I moved to docutils.
The only lack, thus far (imho), is syntax highlighting.
So I've written a small python script to parse the text,
and automatically highlight any python-esque code
using css.
Should I include this in the next version, post online, or what?
Or should I send this over to the docutils people?
Daniel Pozmanter
Ugh. Doing the highlighting myself was a mess. So I used that wonderful world of ASPN recipes and SilverCity instead (Thanks to Marek for the heads up. In fact, pointing those out was 90% of the work).
I included the scripts in the documentation directory.
Marek Kubica
For all who'd like to create the docs by themselves, I made a SilverCity binary: http://www.pythonwiki.de/PythonErweiterungen/WindowsBinaries
How about the docs online on drpython.sourceforge.net, just like the PSF does?

This game was televised live on KCRG 9.2, as every game of the boys state basketball tournament will be.
DES MOINES, Iowa "Shock the world!" they shouted in glee. "Shock the world!"
Sorry, Harlan student section. This result may have been slightly surprising but calling it a shock is a stretch.
The Cyclones' 67-56 Class 3A state tournament quarterfinal victory over Vinton-Shellsburg was a top-ranked top seed losing for the first time this season, to an unranked eighth seed. But consider the traditional toughness of Harlan's Hawkeye Ten Conference and state tourney mastery of Harlan coach Mitch Osborn.
He has taken a record 17 teams to Des Moines over the years and is 17-2 in first-round games.
"I thought our schedule prepared us for this game," Osborn said.
"They do a tremendous job of making you uncomfortable offensively and taking you out of what you want to do," said Vinton-Shellsburg coach Joe Johnson. "Obviously, coach has been here many, many times. There's not an offense or a team he hasn't seen before. We knew coming in it was going to be tough to prepare for them. They have so much to prepare for."
Putting aside all that tough-competition, veteran-coach stuff, this game was decided by Harlan's physical play. The Cyclones (19-6) have tall and thick bodies in 6-foot-6 center Trey Lansman and 6-4 forward Nathan Cave, and they dominated the interior offensively and defensively, combining for 26 points (13 each), 18 rebounds and six blocked shots (all by Lansman).
Harlan went to the free-throw line 37 times, making 27. Guard Adam Juhl led the Cyclones with 17 points.
A 10-0 run to start the third quarter put Harlan up, 37-26. The lead grew to as many as 16.
"We wanted to push tempo, that's what we always do," said Vinton-Shellsburg's Maxton Kearns, who had a team-high 19 points. "But they had the size in there, and they turned it into a physical game."
Harlan did a good job keeping Grant Sagan, V-S's leading scorer at bay most of the way, holding him to 11 points, nine under his average. The Vikings (24-1) shot just 33 percent, 24 percent in the second half.
A rough end to a great season.
"It stings right now, but it's great that we got here for the first time since 1996," said Vinton-Shellsburg's Chris Merchant. "It was just one of those days."
"One night can't define what we've done this year. I told our kids that," Johnson said. "They need to be proud of what they did this year. We came from nowhere and put Vinton on the map, finally. I'm proud of that."

Gem Cameo Proof 1893 Isabella Quarter1893 25C Isabella Quarter PR65 NGC. Susan B. Anthony insisted that women should have adequate representation at the World's Columbian Exposition, in the form of a Board of Lady Managers. Four centuries earlier, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain provided the necessary funding for the voyage of Columbus. Therefore, it was certainly fitting that the Queen be depicted on the obverse of this commemorative quarter dollar. The quarter itself was suggested by Mrs. Potter Palmer, Chicago socialite and "grande dame of the Exposition," per Dave Bowers. Mrs. Palmer suggested that $10,000 of the appropriations for the Board of Lady Managers be provided in the form of a special commemorative quarter dollar. Legislation was drawn and approved March 3, 1893, authorizing a total issue of 40,000 such coins. Various designs were prepared, and eventually the Isabella quarter was issued, the first legal tender United States coin to depict a foreign monarch. The entire issue of 40,000 coins were actually struck, along with 23 additional assay coins, however, a portion of the mintage was never distributed at the one-dollar issue price, and eventually were returned to be melted. The net mintage of this issue, therefore, was 24,214 coins (Walter Breen reported 24,191, the total without the assay coins).
In his reference on commemorative coins, co-authored by Anthony Swiatek, Walter Breen recorded the characteristics of true proofs of this issue, all matching the present coin: "As all proof Isabella quarters have been doubted at one time or another, collectors are advised that the piece illustrated on the preceding page
This Gem proof has fully brilliant white color without any indication of toning on either side. The mirrored fields are quite deep with only a few miniscule hairlines and abrasions. These mirrored fields intersect the devices with crisp, clear junctions that leave no question of the proof status of this example. The devices are finely detailed and fully defined, exactly as they appeared in the dies. There is absolutely no evidence of weakness on either side. A small dark toning spot is hidden in the details just below Queen Isabella's necklace, and this is the only blemish that is worthy of note.(#9221) (PCGS# 9221)

"It's never been more important in our society for early childhood education to be a high priority," said Earlene Gonzales, director of the Child Development Center. "The fact that we've been doing this for 10 years is a testament to UTSA's understanding of the impact that high-quality early childhood education makes as a foundation for lifelong learning, as well as creating support services for their parents at the collegiate level."

Gonzales will open the breakfast with a traditional annual reading of the Week of the Young Child proclamation statement. The breakfast buffet will follow at the center's front patio. At 5:30 p.m., Thursday, April 18, the official celebration of the center's 10th anniversary will continue with an open house, dinner and children's activities.

Jahii Carson scored 20 points, Jonathan Gilling had 13 points and 15 rebounds, and Arizona State fended off a second-half rally by Florida A&M to pull away for a 97-70 win Sunday. After an eight-day break between games, Arizona State (2-0) showed no signs of rust early against the Rattlers, racing out to a 19-point lead. The Sun Devils went into an offensive funk that allowed Florida A&M to pull within five in the second half, but used a 12-0 run to pull away for coach Herb Sendek's 100th win with the program. Jordan Bachynski had 14 points, eight rebounds and blocked six shots for Arizona State. Carson added seven assists. Florida A&M (0-3) got off to an awful start offensively and never fully recovered, unable to fight all the way back from the big hole. Jamie Adams led the Rattlers with 24 points and Reggie Lewis added 16.

Part of the problem was that Garmin blew their Android load by trying to make a Garmin branded phone. It flopped, but Garmin is sadly still trying with android powered non-phone devices like the Monterra.
I am sure what is holding Garmin back from putting out a GOOD Android app is their rightful fear that phone's will make their hardware obsolete. That will happen. Convergence is a fact of life.
I use my phone (Droid Razr Maxx HD w/4.7" screen) as my GPS and it works great especially because I wear ear buds when I ride. I can listen to music which gets automatically muted when I am getting directions, etc. For the few little inconveniences of using your phone vs using a dedicated GPS unit I can't possibly see myself shelling out $600 to Garmin.
Besides that, Garmin's display of it's maps on the device is just awful. Zoom out once and all you see are a couple colored, unmarked veins. That's helpful, thanks Garmin. I just finished a 2,100 mile trip through the Blue Ridge Parkway and Tail with a friend who had the latest Zumo (350/360?), and trying to use his device to plan a route was useless. When we had a data connection we used Google Maps on my phone and OSMand when we didn't.
P.S. His device bricked at the end of the trip and is now enroute back to Garmin.
I have used a LOT of different apps and had a couple review threads going in the GPS forum, but they are probably a bit too outdated now.
Google maps and Google navigation are just awesome, but there is no easy way (that I know of) to import or use a custom route even though the desktop browser version of Google maps is one of the most awesome tools for creating custom routes. I hope like hell that Google soon adds that feature, and Garmin hopes like hell they don't.
Speaking of creating custom routes, RideWithGPS.com works great.
There is an app called Wayfinder that will make Google Navigation follow a GPX track or route, but it's definitely not user-friendly and still requires a data connection for the navigation.
OSMand is a good all-arounder, but it has it's issues. The maps are decent, not great. It will also do turn-by-turn directions, even over an imported GPX route, but it can be buggy.
CoPilot is a really nice app and the ability to add waypoints and have your route take you through them is really nice. Plus you can drag your route kind of like Google maps so you can do some really nice route planning right from your phone or tablet. PLUS, when you download it you choose what maps you want cached on your phone. I chose all of North America. No data connection needed after that.
Navigon I hear is good, but they don't have a trial version (that I'm aware of) and I'm not shelling out $50 to find out if it sucks or not.
The ONLY feature I haven't been able to find is an app that will import a custom route that you have created off-line and give you rock solid, turn by turn directions through that route.
But, for me, my phone is the way to go.
AND even though I am not a fan of Garmin hardware I would give them $100 for a fully functioning Garmin Android app.

TopGear drives giant lawn mower
For serious, manly grass cutting there's only one option – the 18.5-tonne Claas Cougar 1400
Posted: 22 Oct 2010
Through an uncompromising mix of speed, power and bowel-loosening scale, the Cougar will turn prairie to putting green in less time than it takes most of us to find the keys to the shed. Around 50 acres per hour in fact, which is roughly like mowing Wembley once a minute. And that makes this the agricultural equivalent of the Bugatti Veyron. By the time the rest of us are yanking impotently at our pull starts, the Cougar owner is eyeing up other continents for a bit of cash-in-hand.

Optical Lattices and Neutral Atom Quantum Computing
Physical Measurement Laboratory, Quantum Measurement Division
Please note: This Agency only participates in the February and August reviews.
We are interested in the physical aspects of quantum information and the basic physics of ultacold atoms in optical lattices including manybody physics, quantum phase transitions, and control and manipulations of atoms to create exotic quantum states or perform quantum simulations. This is a theoretical effort requiring knowledge from atomic physics, optical physics, condensed matter theory, and quantum information science. The work is in close collaboration with members of the Joint Quantum Institute and the Laser Cooling and Trapping Group. We are interested in the basic physics of quantum neutral atoms in optical lattices, as well as their application to quantum computing, quantum simulation, and manybody physics. Our research focuses on quantum logic gates, quantum architectures, and their applications to NIST efforts to build a prototype quantum processor for general quantum computation and for quantum simulation of iconic manybody systems and quantum phase transitions. Projects of interest include the theory and simulation of neutral atom systems in optical lattices, many-body studies of one- and two-component systems, scalable approaches to quantum architectures especially in lattices, novel lattice approaches that may give rise to topological order, quantum information applications and simulation in these systems, and development of robust approaches for characterizing noise and thermal effects in experimental systems. This work builds on a continued interest in very low temperature atomic collisions. Applicants are sought with a background in quantum optics, atomic physics, condensed matter theory, and quantum information science.

NSA PRISM program a traffic boost for DuckDuckGo
The NSA PRISM program's revelation, thanks to Edward Snowden, like everything else, has its good and bad side. The good part is, we now know that the NSA has been spying on us and everybody else. The bad part is, the NSA is still spying on us and everybody else.
But there's another side to the story. And it is: Folks that care about their privacy are flocking to Web and Internet services that offer some guarantee of privacy.
One of those services is DuckDuckGo, a search engine, just like Google. Though it's not the 800-pound guerrilla that Google is, it has been steadily gaining converts, even becoming the default search engine in the Web browsers on many Linux distributions.
According to a story in The Guardian, the NSA RPISM story has led to a major surge in traffic for the young search engine's services. Quoting Gabriel Weinberg, DuckDuckgo's founder, the company went from serving 1.7 million searches per day at the beginning of June (2013) to 3.0 million daily two weeks later.
And I think it will only get better for the DuckDuckGo, which publishes its traffic stats here.

https://startpage.com/ is a better option than Duckduckgo in my opinion. Based in the Netherlands so hopefully out of reach of the USA.
Forgot to add: Many people are adopting different practices to try and keep privacy on the internet but they forget about the first hoop they have to go through, your I.S.P your provider. Many have black box installed, some claim they do not but they will have and all this data is collected and stored made available to law enforcement agencies and who knows who else.
DuckDuckGo privacy protection is a myth – they cannot show or prove it, they just make the claim it does.
You first initial search query may well be private but if the web-page you land on has google or Bing products and services then you have just been picked up,detected and a cookie dropped on you (check your folders and see) that first initial search query through DuckDuckGo was a waste of time.
Also the "do not track" request is a polite request that google and bing ignore anyway.
Your going to get picked up by google and bing, its impossible to escape undetected.

A working paper prepared for the Garrison Institute's
Climate, Mind and Behavior Program to invite review, comment and discussion
About the Paper
In the United States, energy consumers represent 314 million potential sources of large-scale reductions in electricity demand. Since the turn of the 21st century, a wide range of new and innovative programs has made it easier than ever to help people who we have traditionally thought of as energy consumers become energy savers and in some cases energy producers. But these efforts have hit some important roadblocks. This paper is an effort to describe the opportunities and the roadblocks and to propose a way forward that would help utilities to reshape their relationship with millions of Americans and empower them as partners in achieving America's energy solutions.
The Garrison Institute's CMB Program supported the development of this working paper with the goal of helping business leaders, policy makers, and regulatory agencies better understand the opportunities associated with innovative, consumer-oriented engagement strategies and overcome the roadblocks that prevent us from unlocking conservation and efficiency-related energy savings. As documented in the paper, these types of strategies could help utilities, states and the nation to realize the full range of benefits from energy efficiency while lowering the cost of energy services. In this regard we consider this paper to be the first step in a critical dialogue that could revolutionize the relationship between utilities and consumers and between consumers and the energy that they consume.

Be Irish. Eat potatoes and enjoy today's exciting variety of potatoes you'll find in the supermarket. March is National Nutrition month and potatoes are another food to Get Your Plate in Shape says Judy Fitzgibbons, Johnson Ave. Hy-Vee dietitian.
A three-ounce serving of potatoes contains the same amount of potassium as a banana along with a good amount of vitamin C and just 90 calories. The purple, red and gold color of modern potatoes means more disease-protecting antioxidants. Newer research shows that cooked and cooled potatoes contain a kind of starch that raises blood sugars less than when they're first cooked.
Judy has two ideas for preparing the new, ready-to-cook Smart Bite potatoes. They're so easy to use. Just pop the whole bag in the microwave then season or pour them into a pan with oil and seasonings and roast.
Colcannon-style Irish Potatoes and Cabbage
Traditional colcannon stirs cooked cabbage into mashed potatoes. Try this variation that skips the peeling and mashing.
Serves 8/Source: adapted by Judy Fitzgibbons from traditional Colcannon recipe.
All you need:
1 bag ( 24 oz.) Hy-Vee Flavor Fusion Smart Bite potatoes
3 cups green cabbage, shredded
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. margarine or butter
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
Chopped parsley for garnish
All you do:
Cook Smart Bite potatoes in microwave oven according to package directions. While potatoes are cooking, measure, mustard, water, margarine and pepper into a two-quart casserole dish with a lid. Heat in microwave just long enough to melt margarine. Add cabbage to seasoning. When potatoes are done, carefully open hot package and pour potatoes into casserole. Cover. Heat cabbage and potatoes in the microwave, on high for 3 minutes or until cabbage is just tender. Toss lightly, salt to taste and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with corned beef.
Classic Roasted Potatoes
Serves 8/Source: Hy-Vee Test Kitchen
1 bag (24 oz.) Hy-Vee Smart Bite Baby Blonds potatoes
1 large red bell pepper cut in bite-size pieces
½ cup diced onion
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. seasoning blend such as Lawry's or Emeril's
Or season with kosher salt, Mrs. Dash, nutmeg and a bit of sugar
Preheat oven to 425°F. Remove Baby Blonds from bag and cut in half. (No need to scrub. They're already washed for you.). Place unpeeled potatoes, red pepper and onion in 9x13" baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with seasoning blend. Stir to coat potato halves. Bake for 20 minutes and stir. Bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Serve hot or cool and make into an herbed potato salad.

Computers have become quite common in preschool classrooms, but early childhood professionals don't always know how to take advantage of computers as teaching tools. In e-clip #2, Dr. Douglas Clements from the University at Buffalo explains that when teachers carefully select and introduce children to appropriate software, computers can help young children not only learn new skills, but also make the connection between concrete concepts and more abstract ideas. Dr. Sudha Swaminathan from Eastern Connecticut State University stresses the important role of the teacher in supporting learning using technology, and provides tips for teachers for the successful integration of computers in the classroom curriculum.

With smartphones, almost everyone is a photographer of sorts these days. For every shitty Instagram out there, there's a photo from We Are Juxt to remind us that photography is truly an art that can unlock a million emotions and dreams.
We Are Juxt is a mobile photography collective based in Seattle with members all across the globe. Using photo apps like Instagram, Camera+ and more, they transform mundane smartphone images into awe-inspiring visual stories.
The collective celebrated their one-year anniversary last week with the launch of their new gallery at Zeitgeist Coffee in Pioneer Square. The exhibit will be up all month, and the prints are for sale too!
Check out some of my favorites below, and see more work at WeAreJuxt.com:

Atmosphir Closed Beta TestSeptember 18th, 2008 by merkoth
We received the following notice from Iván Vodopiviz, a developer for the upcoming game Atmosphir:
Atmosphir is a 3D platform game with a twist: Players can make their own levels with the easy to use built-in editor and then share their creations with the world by uploading them to the game servers.
Of course, the players can also download and play other's levels with just one click or even edit them and create variations.
We're currently about to launch our closed beta test stage, and since we want to support the GNU/Linux platform (despite what the website videos might say), all GNU/Linux gamers are invited to join by signing up at: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pqDlNP4Y84Ep-1GpKG8eIEQ
It would be ideal if applicants could specify which distribution are they using, of course.
The public release is expected by the end of the year, but don't take my word for it, I'm not in charge of that.

pretty good, right chords and solo sounds good except the end of it. I'm not exactly sure if thats how it goes. It sounds a little off to me but good tab
