Apple's rumoured 7.85in tablet, the iPad Mini, has just been given a price of a meagre US$250 ($A241). Watch out Amazon Kindle Fire 2.
The rumoured pint-sized slate from Apple should be heading our way around August, according to Chinese portal Netease, which reports the iPad Mini is Apple's way of fighting back against the upcoming attack from Windows 8 tablets.
And with talk of not only a US$250 iPad Mini but a US$299 version also, it looks like there will be more limited hard drive options compared to its full sized iPad big brother.
With 6 million iPad Minis rumoured to be on the way, don't worry about pre-ordering – there'll be plenty to go around.

"Chelsea: Standing Up To Racism Since That Guy"
When the club makes no attempt to discipline its captain for being racist what kind of example does it set for the fans? Its almost inevitable that something like this would happen. I know a couple of Chelsea fans who make no defense of Terry's actions and instead find it all rather amusing and make racist jokes about Anton Ferdinand purely because of what happened last year. It seems to be a weekly thing now. I'm sure he'll just say he was itching both armpits at the same time though.
What is Peter Herbert and his Society of Black Lawyers going to do aboout this???
I'd rather see video footage of this, take Welbeck out of the shot and he could be just taking his hands out of his pockets, unlikely but still a possibility, the photo in no way shows conclusively he is making a monkey gesture
Does everybody remember Phillip Gannon, the Liverpool supporter, who did this around the time of the Suarez-Evra affair? Funny timing, what with the Clattenburg thing (allegedly "shut it, monkey"), don't you think? It's almost as if the papers are looking for people doing stuff like this in the club's crowds after these big racist stories…
Which brings me to this – this MUST happen a lot more than is being reported. Should it not be the responsibility of Kick It Out, or the FA, or the clubs themselves, to be checking these things after every match? Does this already happen and just doesn't appear in the rags?
I'll be curious to see what Chelsea does to investigate and presumably punish this supporter.
@usrick, probably make him captain when Terry's not playing.
Im sure they will just ban him for 4 games, they wouldnt want to be seen as total hypocrites by having a guilty racist as captain while banning a supporter for life.
First they abuse a steward, then this. Within a couple of days. The plastic fans are really classy it seems! Makes Leeds fans sensible!
Chelsea will be furious after they've lodged that complaint.
They'll want him dead nevermind banned.
Oi woz actchulee howldin on to me invisibuwl zimmer froym.
@ gesturing chelsea fan – ha ha, zimmer frame or "shit, these pumpkins are heavy"
Lol did chelsea see this and there comment was "starting frommmmmmm now"
and when I heard that almost all football journos are spurs or united supporters, I said 'no, that can't be true'
oh well
Has nobody considered that maybe this guy just happened to be yawning, while brushing something off his jacket as opposed to… never mind, this guy's a dick.
At least we don't have to worry about racism & racists at USA sporting events….
@p: eh, what are you on about mate?
Never seen monkey look like that. A complete non story.

Bill Cosby on George Zimmerman: Guns, Not Race, Real Issue in Trayvon Martin Case
Bill Cosby, the latest in a string of celebrities asked to publicly weigh in on the Trayvon Martin case, said the biggest issue in the 17-year-old's killing at the hands of 28-year-old neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman is not race–it's guns.
"I believe that when you tell me that you're going to protect the neighborhood that I live in, I don't want you to have a gun," Cosby, 74, said in an interview with CNN's "State of the Union" broadcast on Sunday. "I want you to be able to see something, report it, and get out of the way, because you happen to be a part of the neighborhood. I don't want you to get hurt. And I don't want you to hurt anyone."

Citizen Jane Film Festival: bringing the community together in Columbia, MO
The screening of Made in L.A., which was sponsored by Radio Adelante, a Spanish-language news program which airs each week on public radio station KOPN 89.5, brought together diverse panelists from the community who linked the issues in the film to the specific conditions of immigrants and other workers in Missouri.
Carolina Escalera from Radio Adelante described the event: "Radio Adelante invited leaders from the region's Latino community to talk about how the film relates to issues in Missouri. The panel included researchers, professors, community and youth leaders. Radio Adelante seeks to inform the public and spark conversations that give voice to Latinos in mid-Missouri because this group is often misunderstood or marginalized. The movie and the panel helped create a forum for conversations on work conditions, language barriers, community advocacy and leadership. Radio Adelante is proud to be a part of promoting conversations like this one. Made In L.A. helps people learn about others and realize that most people are searching for the same things in life... If you haven't seen the movie, we hope you do!"
Made in L.A. launches Cine Club Latino in Tulsa, OK
I spent the last weekend traveling through the Midwest. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, the organizers of the new Cine Club Hispano invited me to come screen Made in L.A. as their launch event. It was an inpiring event and I asked Ximena, of the organizers, to write something about the event. Her words couldn't be more beautiful...
|Ximena Castaneda and Margarita Vega-Treviño introduce the event
"The messages of the documentary Made in L.A. and its producer Almudena Carracedo were like seeds in fertile land during the launch of the First Cine Club Hispano of the city last September 17th. Since Oklahoma approved last November one of the harshest laws against undocumented immigrants, hundreds of Latino leaders have united to fight for the respect of human rights. To reclaim the positive image of Latinos, who contribute so much to the economic growth of this country, has been a priority.
In this context Margarita Vega-Treviño, director of the Hispano de Tulsa newspaper (the oldest in the Oklahoma Northwest) and I decided to create the Latino Cine Club in the Circle Cinema theater. With the goal of initiating an open dialogue inside the community, through Latino cinema, that promotes a better understanding of social, historical, political and cultural reality of the Latin-American nations."
Academics, representatives from important organizations, religious leaders, students, organized women and heads of households attended this unforgettable night. "It is possible to transform fear into justice", asserted one of the participants, referring to the current situation of undocumented immigrants in Oklahoma. Her words "May the film inspire each of us to work for those who are suffering because of their ignorance of their rights!" -made the crowd erupt into applause.
The film Made in L.A., which served to inaugurate the Cine Club Latino of Tulsa, was such an interactive journey of personal growth. It started with the story lived by María, Maura and Lupe in their search for their rights as garment workers. It ended with the public completely moved and inspired, full of questions and eager to start looking, inside their own reality, for their own answers."
Ximena Castaneda
Journalist and staff writer of Hispano de Tulsa
He pasado el último fin de semana viajando por el Midwest. En Tulsa, Oklahoma, las organizadoras del nuevo Cine Club Hispano me invitaron a presentar Made in L.A., como evento de lanzamiento de la organización. El evento fue muy emotivo, y le pregunté a Ximena, una de las organizadoras, que escribiera algo sobre ello. Sus palabras no podrían ser más bonitas...
|Ximena Castaneda y Margarita Vega-Treviño presentando el evento
Desde que el primero de noviembre del año anterior, fuera aprobada en Oklahoma una de las leyes más fuertes en contra de los inmigrantes indocumentados, cientos de líderes latinos se han unido para luchar por el respeto de sus derechos humanos. Reivindicar el nombre de los latinos, que tanto contribuyen al crecimiento económico de este país, ha sido desde entonces una prioridad.
Dentro de este marco, Margarita Vega-Treviño, directora del periódico Hispano de Tulsa (el más antiguo del noroeste de Oklahoma) y yo Ximena Castañeda, periodista y escritora del mismo medio, decidimos formar el Cine Club en el teatro Circle Cinema. Con el objetivo de "iniciar un dialogo abierto dentro de la comunidad, a través del cine latino, que promueva un mayor entendimiento de las realidades sociales, históricas, políticas y culturales de las naciones Latinoamericanas".
Académicos, representantes de importantes organizaciones, líderes religiosos, estudiantes, mujeres organizadas y padres de familia acudieron a esta inolvidable velada.
"Es posible transformar el miedo por la justicia" afirmó una de las participantes al referirse específicamente a la situación actual de los indocumentados en Oklahoma. Sus palabras: "Que la película nos impulse a cada uno de nosotros a trabajar por aquellos que están sufriendo a causa del desconocimiento de sus derechos", arrancaron los aplausos de los allí presentes.
La película Made in L.A. que inauguró el Cine Club Latino de Tulsa, fue todo un viaje interactivo de crecimiento personal. Comenzó con la historia vivida durante tres años por María, Maura y Lupe, en su búsqueda por el reconocimiento de los derechos de los trabajadores de la costura. Terminó con un público totalmente conmovido e inspirado, lleno de preguntas e inquieto por empezar a buscar dentro de su realidad, respuestas propias."
Ximena Castaneda
Periodista y escritora de Hispano de Tulsa
Event brings together African-Americans and Latinos
The story of how this event came about is particularly beautiful. Last May, at the end of the awards ceremony at the Council on Foundations Conference, where Made in L.A. received the Henry Hampton Award, we had the opportunity to meet Darryl Lester, head of the Community Investment Network (CIN). He expressed interest in Made in L.A. and we offered to send him a DVD so that he could see the film. A few months later Dionne Lester from CIN sent us the most beautiful e-mail explaining how moved she and Darryl had been by the film and inviting us to come show the film at their national conference!
The Community Investment Network (CIN), which was launched with the help of the Ford Foundation, is cultivating a new cadre of philanthropic leaders from communities of color who recognize their civic responsibilities and their power to influence mainstream philanthropy. With the goal of leveraging its social capital and charitable giving to create the communities it wishes to see, CIN is currently composed of nine giving circles of more than 130 new and seasoned philanthropists.

Made in L.A. back at New York's IFW, more NY Events
| Robert, Peter, Sandi and me after the panel
As if a whole week at the market was not enough, on Saturday afternoon, we had arranged to do a case study for Doculinkers in New York, and we spent 4 hours telling the story of how we raised funds to make Made in L.A. and how our funding model worked.And, because Robert and I are not happy if we don't pack our schedule, we also held a beautiful screening of Made in L.A. at the North Star Fund, organized in collaboration with Arts Engine. It was a very very nice, intimate screening where we got to discuss the process of making Made in L.A. and how we're using the film to make an impact.
Made in L.A. wins Emmy!!!
Acceptance speeches provide a unique opportunity to say "thank you", since this film could not have been made without the care, support and encouragement of literally hundreds of people. And so we took the moment to thank our families, our friends, our amazing crew, the organizations that believed in us (including NALIP and our fiscal sponsor Women Make Movies), and the hundreds of individuals that have supported this film throughout its journey. Special thanks must also go to our Executive Producers Simon Kilmurry, Cara Mertes and Sally Jo Fifer, and to Cynthia Lopez, Annelise Wunderlich and the amazing teams at American Documentary | P.O.V. and ITVS that took such care and devotion in bringing Made in L.A. to a national audience. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to PBS and to our funders ITVS, POV, the Sundance Documentary Fund, Latino Public Broadcasting, CPB, Pacific Pioneer Fund, Unitarian Universalist Fund for a Just Society, Diane Middleton Foundation, Puffin Foundation, Agape Foundation, and nearly 300 individual donors. Finally, we thank our outreach partners for helping us to spread the word and make an impact!
Above all, we owe the deepest, most personal thanks to the people in the film and to the three amazing women in Made in L.A., Lupe, Maria and Maura, who opened their lives to us and allowed us to capture and portray their stories in Made in L.A. As we said in front of more than 1,200 attendees on Monday night, we dedicate this award to them, because it was their fight for their rights and personal dignity that taught us the true meaning of courage and perseverance.
Launching the Community Screenings Campaign
As grassroots filmmakers, we deeply understand the financial constraints of small organizations. We have thus created an innovative screening kit that contains all the materials needed for a great event (full-size movie posters, DVDs, postcards) and that is essentially free. Here's how it works: while organizations do have to pay to order a kit, the kit "pays for itself" because it includes enough extra DVDs to sell at the screening to cover the cost of the kit. All proceeds help us continue our outreach and education efforts, and thus the kits help support both sustainable social-issue filmmaking and sustainable grassroots organizing.

Latino Heritage Month screenings
PBS to re-air Made in L.A for Latino Heritage Month
Made in L.A. garners Emmy Nomination!!!
The nominees were announced by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS). The News & Documentary Emmy® Awards will be presented on Monday, September 22 at a ceremony at Frederick P. Rose Hall, Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, located in the Time Warner Center in New York City. We will of course, be there!
As one might imagine, this was very exciting news for everyone who has been part of making this film. A friend of ours wrote us to say: "A rockin' film about immigrant workers rights gets an Emmy nomination! I've died and gone to heaven." That's kind of how we feel...!
Made in L.A. nominated for Imagen Award AND Alma Awards Finalist!
We are also proud that Made in L.A. is a finalist for the Alma Awards in the category of Outstanding Made-for-TV-Documentary. The Alma Awards are given by the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S. NCLR created the ALMA Awards in 1995 and "the show was named "Alma" (Spanish for "spirit" or "soul") to represent the determined spirit of the Latino people."

It was extremely moving...
|With Peter Broderick at Silverdocs Documentary Conference 2008
|With Sky Sitney (Silverdocs Director of Programming) and Steve James
I have the feeling that life is giving me second opportunities to make up for what I wasn't able to do before. Last year we were so busy (as we were also having our West Coast premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival a week later!) that we spent far too much time working in the hotel room - day and night. So this year we went to as many screenings and parties as we could - and I am happy to say that we were able to make up for what we missed!
Made in L.A. makes a splash in Madrid / Made in L.A. encanta a Madrid
While Robert was doing presentations in California, I was in Madrid presenting Made in L.A. at Casa de America as part of DocumentaMadrid. Originally planned as a single screening, Teresa Toledo (who is in charge of film programming at Casa de America) soon added a special 4-night run for a total of 5 screenings in 1 week! (thank you Teresa!)
|With the wonderful press team of DocumentaMadrid: Marcela, Lucía and Sonia Uría, marvelous Chief of Press.
The screenings were announced in major newspapers such as El País Semanal (the largest newspaper in Spain), Público and Diagonal, in over 30 on-line publications, and I was also interviewed on 6 national radio programs including "De Película", "Hora America" "Otros acentos", "De Cine", and Radio "La Nuestra". Finally, the news was spread in dozens of e-mail list-serves and what started as a grassroots effort soon spread and became "the screening" to go to during Madrid's annual Fiestas de San Isidro.
The first night the film was scheduled to start at 8:30pm and it was sold out by 7:45! A big crowd gathered at the entrance and I tried to talk to everyone to encourage them to come to the other screenings. People protested: "but we want to hear the Q&A!" Originally we hadn't planned to do Q&As at the other four screenings, but in that very moment I agreed to it! As a result, we had an hour long Q&A everyday. Word of mouth brought more and more people each day, and we ended up with 5 full-house screenings, and with tons of people who (unfortunately) could not make it in! It was exhausting but so moving...
The success of the event was also a great example of effective grassroots work in reaching a wide audience, and our Q&As brought together very diverse people, from immigrants to fashion students, from activists to regular folk who were curious to see the film. The Q&As enabled a discussion among audience members, who linked the themes and the experiences of the characters in the film with what's happening in Spain at this very moment: precariedad laboral (precarious jobs), subcontracting, immigrant bashing, etc. It is interesting to see how Made in L.A. comes to fill a void in the representation of immigrants in Spanish society, which is trying to cope with a process of rapid changes that, over the last 8 years, have made this country much more multi-cultural, diverse and richer...
|People in line waiting to talk to Almudena
Dozens of organizations have contacted us because they want to be part of a national effort to bring the film everywhere in Spain, and hundreds of people have signed up to receive news about the film. It is certainly a huge effort for Robert and I, who are at this point handling all of the distribution and the growing demand for the film (it's like a snow ball!)... But the response was so moving and amazing, that we feel an urgent sense of responsibility to work towards this goal. Many thanks everyone who was part of supporting and spreading the word about these screenings. Good things are in the works... stay tuned!
|Con las estupendas chicas de prensa de DocumentaMadrid: Marcela, Lucía y Sonia Uría, maravillosa jefa de prensa!
Las proyecciones salieron en varios periódicos de tirada nacional como El País Semanal, Público y Diagonal, en más de 30 publicaciones on-line, y me entrevistaron en 6 programas radio nacionales, incluyendo "De Película" (RNE1), "Hora America"(REE), "Otros acentos" (RNE), "De Cine" (RNE5) y Radio "La Nuestra". Finalmente la noticia se distribuyó por docenas de listas de correo y lo que empezó como un esfuerzo "de base" pronto se extendió y se convirtió en "la película guay" para ver durante las fiestas de San Isidro.
La primera noche la peli empezaba a las 20h pero para las 19:45h ¡ya se habían vendido todas las entradas! Yo trataba de convencer a la muchedumbre en la entrada de que vinieran otros días, pero la gente se quejó: "es que queremos estar en el coloquio!" Inicialmente no habíamos planeado hacer coloquio todos los días, pero en ese momento dije "por qué no?" y, como resultado, ¡tuvimos una hora de coloquio los 5 días...! El boca a boca funcionó y cada día vino más y más gente, así que acabamos con 5 proyecciones hasta arriba, y con cantidad de gente que (desafortunadamente) no pudo siquiera entrar. Ha sido super super cansado, pero realmente emocionante...
El éxito del evento es también un ejemplo de un trabajo de base efectivo para llegar a cantidad de gente; de hecho los coloquios atrajeron a una audiencia muy diversa, desde inmigrantes a estudiantes de moda, desde activistas a gente corriente que tenían curiosidad por ver la peli. Estos coloquios hicieron posible una conversación (a menudo muy emotiva) entre el público, que relacionó los temas y las experiencias de las protagonistas en la película con lo que está pasando en España en este preciso momento: precariedad laboral, subcontratación, odio al inmigrante, etc. Es super interesante ver como Made in L.A. viene a llenar un vacío en la representación y la imagen de la población inmigrante en la sociedad española, que está tratando de lidiar con un proceso de cambios rápidos que, durante los últimos 8 o 10 años, ha enriquecido a este país y lo ha hecho multi-cultural y diverso.
Cantidad de organizaciones nos han contactado para ser parte de un esfuerzo para llevar el documental por toda España, y cientos de personas se han apuntado a nuestra lista para recibir noticias sobre futuras proyecciones. Es ciertamente un esfuerzo enorme para Robert y para mi, que en ese momento estamos prácticamente llevando toda la distribución y difusión en medio de un torbellino de peticiones (¡es como una bola de nieve!). Pero la respuesta ha sido tan increíble y emotiva, que sentimos una responsabilidad tremenda de trabajar en este sentido... Mil gracias a todas y todos que han apoyado y difundido estas proyecciones. Estamos manos a la obra... ¡estate atento/a!

Burch Smith debuts for Padres
Grandal is serving a 50-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball's policy prohibiting performance-enhancing drugs. He is eligible to return May 28.
--Left-hander Max Fried, the Padres first-round draft pick last June, was one of four low Single-A Fort Wayne pitchers combining on a no-hitter Thursday night. Fried walked four and struck out eight in 5 2/3 innings. Matthew Shepherd followed with 1 1/3 perfect innings, Leonel Campos struck out the side in the eighth and Ramon Madrid had a walk and a strikeout in the ninth.
--The umpiring crew working Friday night's Padres-Rays game was the same crew sanctioned earlier in the day by Major League Baseball for failing to know a basic rule during Thursday night's game between the Angels and Astros in Houston. Crew chief – and Friday's plate umpire -- Fieldin Culbreth was suspended two games. The other members of the – Brian O'Nora, Bill Welke and Adrian Johnson – were fined.

Spaghetti Squash Yerushalmi Kugel
3 comments | Leave Comment
Spaghetti Squash Yerushalmi Kugel
What can you make with squash…what can you make with noodles? You have made squash kugel with squash, you have made Yerushalmi kugel with noodles… put the two together and the concept of the Spaghetti Squash Yerushalmi Kugel is born. The initial concept was received with a "hmm…strange…..". In reality, it's delicious! The squash really lends itself to the sweet and peppery kugel. The strands have a slightly sweet taste to them and hold up well when baked. When served, our Shabbat guests had to be told it was a squash kugel! They were extremely impressed with this innovative, revolutionary new kugel and it was enjoyed by all – young and old. I guess when you have lemons you make lemonade – or the new adage…when you have extra spaghetti squash you make KUGEL!
- Ready Time : 0 min
- 1 large spaghetti squash
- 1 cup sugar (plus more to taste)
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
- ¼ cup canola oil

It is by their actual pick number in the draft. That is where Hannah went #4. It was a tad confusing.
He ran away from Nick Saban too.
Wasn't VanGorder in Death Wish?
Are you seriously calling Auburn out for their treatment of coaches. Amazing.
Actually Abell,
Gricar was reported missing to authorities after failing to return home from a road trip. His car was found in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania with his cell phone inside, and his laptop computer was found in the adjacent Susquehanna River; other than that, very little trace of Gricar has been found. After being missing for over six years with no trace of his whereabouts, Centre County authorities declared Gricar legally dead on July 25, 2011.
Kind of weird ain't it?
If you ask me Joepa is full on into his second childhood. Listen to the things he says, they are childish and selfish. He should have manned up and resigned a while back. The SOP should take this opportunity to put a mandatory retirement age on that position.
Yes, the McQuery guy is not to be believed. You at least walk into the room and yell "What the hell is going on here?"
The difference is that everyone was jumping on the Duke bandwagon way before GJ testimony. That is not the case here.
Agreed. This is not about some arbitrary NCAA bylaw. This is about the difference between right and wrong that goes to the core of human existence. There is no compromise when it comes to child rape.
I have been under the impression that JoePa was just a stubborn old man living in a dementia induced cloud of glory past, selfishly clinging to his job. Now I think he is a coward.
You can see that the two situations are not even remotely close in their nature right? Wow.
When it comes to the rape of children, it is not sometimes, it is always.
I have been under the impression that JoePa was just a stubborn old man living in a dementia induced cloud of glory past, selfishly clinging to the past. Now I think he is a coward.
It's the dementure.
Were they fishing for mullet? I'm sorry, had to do that and I'm a Sims. Could be a distant cuz.
Good game 'bama, great defense. Nick's always been a little too vanilla on offense for me over the years, but he's a great coach. Some times you guys make it hard for this native Alabamian (been on the road since '85) to pull for you, but hell, a bunch of Cajuns tried to kill me and a buddy of mine in Venice La, in '79, so this one was easy. You deserve the re-match. OK state is a joke and so is Sanford.
Class act all the way. No disrespect intended but in that picture he really favors the Bear.
Covv, you do know why they are called "live" oaks right?
I grew up in 'Bama in the 60's/70's and you are the type of 'Bama fan I remember. Keep the crystal in the state. WDE and RTR. Keep it classy Alabamians.
Yes, thanks for discussing football. All this nag nag nag between sides gets old. I think 'bama is the most physical team I have watched all year. Would not want to face them myself. We have some growing to do. WDE and RTR
Back away from the bong dude

There were times when Henry Boateng didn't feel welcome at the Johns Hopkins University.
On several occasions, campus security officers interrupted his basketball games to see if he and the other players belonged in the gym.
There were times when Henry Boateng didn't feel welcome at the Johns Hopkins University.
On several occasions, campus security officers interrupted his basketball games to see if he and the other players belonged in the gym.
Mr. Boateng sometimes felt that he was being followed by officers as he walked at night. Sometimes, people just stared, apparently wondering what this young black man was doing on campus.
Things like that happen to black students at Hopkins, where African-Americans account for only 4.5 percent of the undergraduate enrollment.
And such experiences are what drove Mr. Boateng, as head of the school's Black Student Union, to lead an unprecedented yearlong protest to improve the racial atmosphere at the prestigious North Baltimore university.
The protest began last fall when Mr. Boateng helped draft a list of 16 demands for campus change -- including more black faculty, greater sensitivity from campus police and a black studies program.
Later, there were confrontations with university officials, a sit-in at the library, and heated exchanges with white students over a controversial speaker sponsored by the black student group.
In response, the university has made some changes.
But two of the students' key concerns -- that there be more black faculty members and a black studies program -- will take more time, the administration says.
Mr. Boateng, who graduates tomorrow, says he believes the protests helped to raise consciousness on campus.
He is frustrated, however, by the slow pace of change.
"The best thing is that there was a lot of debate," said Mr. Boateng.
"Race issues have always been here, but the debate was always hidden."
On a campus known for academic intensity rather than political activism, the protests have been a yearlong anomaly.
And the fallout, some say, has been damaging.
"As the school year draws to a close . . . [Hopkins] is more than a campus divided," the student newspaper said in a farewell editorial this month.
"It's a campus fragmented and decimated, a campus that has lost hope in solutions to problems of racial integration and coexistence."
President William C. Richardson, who has been the target of much of the black students' anger, said he agrees with many of their goals.
"I think it's been a very productive year in terms of race relations," Dr. Richardson said.
"It's been a productive year for addressing issues that have been talked about and worked on for years."
As recently as 1965, Hopkins had no blacks in its freshman class.
The university didn't hire a full-time employee to assist minority students until 1988, well after many schools.
Today, the 330-member undergraduate faculty includes only two blacks.
The 4.5 percent black enrollment figure (149 blacks among the 3,297 full-time undergraduates) has held fairly steady the last decade.
That is smaller than the percentage at some other top-ranked urban universities.
Brown University in Providence, R.I., has a black enrollment of roughly 7 percent, for example. At the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, the figure is about 6 percent.
With their numbers so small, black Hopkins students say, the university's black community has trouble maintaining a "critical mass."
"When one of us leaves school, it's a big deal," said Nicole London, who will head the Black Student Union next year.
Problems for years
Black student leaders say this year's protests grew out of problems black students have faced for years.
Kobi Little, a junior from Baltimore who was active in the protests, said he has been stopped many times by security officers or other university employees asking, "Can I help you?" as if he didn't belong on campus.
Craig F. Warren, a graduating senior who edited the black student magazine, says he has sensed people wondering about how he managed to get admitted to Hopkins. One student asked him directly if he had been admitted because of his race, Mr. Warren said.
"It's not like they want to kill you, but there's an underlying hostility and ignorance," Mr. Warren said.
Dr. Richardson said Hopkins has been trying to bring more black students to campus. At the graduate level, the university used better recruiting and other programs to dramatically increase the number of black applicants this year.
At the undergraduate level, the school expects to have some 60 black freshmen next fall -- about 6.2 percent of the class and the largest number in Hopkins history.
Some swift responses
The university has responded quickly to some of the students' demands. An outdoor basketball court, for example, will be built on campus this summer. Black students wanted the basketball court -- as well as a children's playground and an exercise trail -- as a way to make the campus more inviting to people from the neighboring community, particularly blacks.

Public and private cloud compute resources pose formidable deployment challenges for IT managers
Virtualization has dramatically improved datacenter computing, storage and networking allocation efficiency. What's more, it still holds the promise of enabling the automated, dynamic re-allocation of resources to harmonize hardware and software requirements with fluctuating data demands, simplify IT management and reduce costs. Today, virtualization helps reduce hardware and other costs by streamlining the deployment of traditional heterogeneous, application-specific servers.
However, most private and public cloud deployments today are based on scale-out homogeneous racks of direct attached storage (DAS) servers. Because these racks are identical, they vastly simplify purchasing, provisioning, maintenance and support of server hardware. Deploying applications and migrating them to other servers in scale-out environments is far more difficult than in traditional datacenters because a higher level of orchestration is required to deploy and track applications, configure IP addresses, allocate data to the correct nodes and perform other management functions.
Deploying applications in scale-out architectures makes it extremely difficult for most enterprises to manage, provision, and pool resources and allocate jobs efficiently and reliably within the cluster since they lack the expertise to manage a private cloud scale-out cluster. Only high-performance computing (HPC) clusters and Web 2.0 hyperscale datacenters have mastered this specialty.
Over the past 20 years, efforts to simplify deployments and reduce IT costs of public and private clouds have driven the development of a large number of tools to help automate the configuration and deployment of computing resources. These tools – combinations of software and hardware – typically addressed only part of the overall automation challenge. Only in recent years did these tools achieve the ultimate goal of allowing IT departments to specify and request all resources in a computing environment – compute, memory, storage and networking – through a single user interface and deploy new systems in minutes, not days.
OpenStack accelerates cloud deployments
OpenStack technology enables IT administrators to manage compute, memory, storage and networking resources through a web interface to accelerate deployments and reduce costs. OpenStack is a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing technologists with backgrounds at public clouds, HPC and Web 2.0. The group is producing an open-source cloud computing platform that can be used for both private and public clouds. The project aims to deliver components that can be used for implementing private and public clouds, and that are API-compatible with Amazon's cloud services.
OpenStack users include corporations, service providers, VARs, SMBs, researchers and global datacenters seeking to deploy large-scale private or public clouds that leverage the design flexibility, technology and support of a global open-source community. OpenStack has emerged as the open-source leader for widespread datacenter management.
LSI helps simplify deployments of scalable storage in OpenStack environments
LSI solutions for OpenStack and other cloud computing environments include its flash-based Nytro™ application acceleration products and its extensive line of SAS and MegaRAID® controller cards.
LSI's participation in OpenStack includes its work with Nebula to deliver a higher level of orchestration to simplify the deployment of scalable storage in highly cost-effective, easy-to-use, private cloud computing infrastructures, while maintaining enterprise-level storage reliability. In particular, LSI is collaborating with Nebula to create application acceleration and high-performance, low-cost data-sharing solutions for cloud computing environments coping with today's data deluge. The companies are also working together on new open standards and certification.
Nebula provides systems that enable businesses to easily, securely and inexpensively build large cloud computing infrastructures with turnkey, highly autonomous OpenStack appliances. LSI's deep experience in data protection and storage reliability combined with the Nebula One solution will enable higher-performance storage layers and help customers extract more value from their infrastructure investments.
Cloud growth forecast to continue

Mount Carrigain 9/11/11 - # - ghostflowers
Short URL:
White Mountain Hikes
Mount Carrigain 9/11/11
Mount Carrigain 4700'
Sawyer River Road and Signal Ridge Trail
14 miles 3800' Elevation gain
Kevin, Judy, Emma and a cast of thousands!
It is well documented that Rte. 302 at the Sawyer River Bridge was washed out during Hurricane Irene. Along with that there is a a section of Sawyer River Road, probably at least 100 yds. that washed out as well. It left a hole 15-20' deep and took the entire width of the road with it as it deposited large trees and stones in its place. Along the trail there were many smaller washouts as well, especially along Whiteface Brook. Because of these changes in the route it was necessary to turn this normal 10 mile summer hike into a 14 mile hike, similar to the normal winter route in that it included 4 extra miles round trip of road walk along the impassable Sawyer River Road. In places, especially down low along Whiteface Brook, the rushing water from the torrential rains had scoured the trail and left a rocky tread-way, sometimes difficult to negotiate, in its stead.
This aside, a group of 12 people and 5 dogs made the long trek up the steep slopes of Carrigain to honor those who fell at the hands of evil exactly 10 years before, and to those who have fallen since to protect us from this evil lest it strike again. What is truly amazing is the dedication by all those involved to follow through with this event each year, to make this hike on this day to each of New Hampshire's 48 4k summits to commemorate this awful day in our history and to honor the innocents who lost their lives for being nothing more than what we all are, Americans. We are truly blessed to share this distinction, and the hands of evil can never take this from us, even in death.
I hesitated at this writing, not really sure what I wanted to do. Whether to make my own trip report, or to just add my pictures to an already excellent thread started by those in my group. In the end I decided to start my own, hopefully not through vanity, but through a kinship with those who hike the mountains I love, and through a fellowship with those who have participated in this event maybe for the first time this year, or maybe every year since its inception. One thing is certain, we all stood on our chosen mountaintops this day as brethren to give honor to those who departed this world too soon and left us to carry the flame that future generations should know the fallen had not died in vain.
Each of us knows exactly where we were and what we were doing on that day, and each of us can tell a story of how this day struck them and how it has affected their lives. I would like to share mine: It was a wonderful, then terrible, then more terrible week leading into September 11, 2001. On September 5th my wonderful granddaughter came into this world. With all the hopes and dreams I had for her little did I know that things would soon happen to change the course of history and change the world as we know it forever. As high as I was having cradled my first grandchild in my arms, I was soon to be cast into the depths of despair.
On September seventh I got a phone call. My oldest son had been in an accident on his motorcycle. His best friend was standing next to him on the side of the road about 3 miles from our house. I arrived on the scene at almost the same instance the the volunteer paramedic arrived. I knew my son was in grave trouble if he wasn't attended to quickly. Along with several broken bones he could not exhale. Each breath he took increased his pain. In a dreamlike state I waited as the ambulance arrived and more people attended to him. Having been on a rescue crew in the Air Force many years prior I knew that each second counted as it passed, seemingly in slow motion.
I waited as they put him in the ambulance, then I waited some more. It seemed forever as they frantically worked to save his life by opening a hole in his chest to release the trapped air in his lung. I watched through the closed doors of the ambulance, shaking in disbelief. As time passed minutes seemed like hours. When at last he was finally stabilized at the hospital they told me he would need a medi-vac to Mass. General in Boston. I shook some more. They prepared him for the flight, then they let me see him. The transport crew told me to kiss him for good luck, then they rushed him outside to the waiting chopper. I stood in the parking lot as it rose from the ground. I never felt so weak and helpless in all my life. My legs buckled and I crumpled to my knees, half in prayer and half in despair.
I do not know how long I stayed like that, but I do know the thumping of the props was replaced by the thumping in my chest. I picked myself up and knew I had to go home to explain to his stepmom and my own mother what was going on, then I had to drive to Boston to be with him. As time passed he improved. Each day I would make the trip into Boston to see him, feed him, talk to him, whatever I could do. On the fourth morning after the accident my mother decided she wanted to make the trip to see him. As I packed what she would need and bundled her into the car the phone rang. It was my ex-wife, his mom, I had made her aware of his condition when it happened. She informed me a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I thought little of it as I was heading out the door. The information was sketchy, I was thinking small plane, probably two seater.
I put the radio on. More information was coming now. As we drove south on 93 I noticed something very unusual. The traffic became thinner and thinner southbound. Northbound the traffic was bumper to bumper, jam packed. Soon I noticed we were the only car on southbound 93 heading into Boston. In panic and frenzy and just not knowing what to do the order had been given to evacuate all the high-rises in Boston. It was then it hit me just what was happening. Info on the radio was still sketchy, but it was determined that this was no two-seater that had hit the World Trade Center. Soon we learned that all planes in the air were ordered to land. What was going on?
When we reached his hospital room my son was blissfully unaware of what was happening in the outside world. I struggled for a moment trying to decide should I leave it that way or not. I turned on his tiny, overhead hospital TV. Live images from New York were showing the burning tower and there were reports that people were jumping from the windows to their deaths to escape the flames. The true horror of the situation was hitting home. We watched in terror as live TV brought the next wave of horror when the next plane hit the opposite tower. We stared in disbelief, unable to look away.
But this was not all. Reports were coming in that the Pentagon was hit as well and that there were still planes unaccounted for in the air. Then the next horror happened. A tower fell. More disbelief at what we were witnessing. This could not be happening. Not in America. How much more could happen? With the uncertainty of not knowing what would happen next I held my mom's hand with one of my own, my son's with the other. We were a chain, linked by our living hands forming a circle to repel the evil. As the second tower fell before our eyes we no longer felt miles away and safe. It was as though we were standing nearby and watching helplessly. We knew no one could survive this absolute destruction.
It took ten years before I could sit down and relive this day in written word. Much had happened since. Besides the healing it took through years of threats and uncertainty many personal things had passed as well. Ten years later the circle we made that day can never be made again. My son passed away five years ago last April. With him went a huge part of me. I carry guilt to this day for things I feel about our relationship and things we begrudged one another as all sons and fathers do. I certainly would never have held these feelings if I had known what was to come. My mom passed away almost a year ago, and so the circle was broken, leaving me the only link in the chain that is left from that day. I am thankful at each sunrise that I can carry on. I still have two sons that mean the world to me, and a loving wife. It is so much more than so many have left after that horrid day and the days that followed.
I know there are far more tragic stories to be told about this day by those who have suffered much worse than I. I write this to remind myself that in each one of us there is a story. A story about life. Life lost and life gained, and that through this thing we call life there is joy and tragedy and in this we all share, and this makes us all kin. On this day we commemorate it was brought to our attention that we all are kin to one another, despite our beliefs and the postures we choose. It is good that each year we can come together and lay aside our differences to remember the day that America stood as one nation, indivisible. It is sad that it took such tragedy to remind us of this, but it would be sadder still if we were to forget...

With the Holy Spirit directing your life, you will experience a deeper relationship with God and you will grow in your ability to trust Him.
What does it mean to grow in your relationship with Jesus?
Growing in your relationship with Jesus means to know Him better, to love and obey Him more. "And this is the way to have eternal life-to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth" (John 17:3).
"Jesus replied: 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment.'" (Matthew 22:37-38)
Your growing love for God will lead you to obey His commandments.
[Jesus speaking] "Those who obey my commandments are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them, and I will love them. And I will reveal myself to each one of them." (John 14:21)
Just as it's natural for a child to grow in a loving relationship with a parent, it is also natural for you to grow in your love relationship with God.
How can you grow in your relationship with Jesus?
Communication is vital to any relationship. Four aspects of communication will help you develop your relationship with Jesus.
i) God communicates with us through the Bible, revealing His character and His will.
"All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
ii) We communicate with God through prayer, sharing our thoughts, our needs and our desire to do his will.
"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)
"And we can be confident that he will listen to us whenever we ask him for anything in line with his will. And if we know he is listening when we make our requests, we can be sure that he will give us what we ask for." (1 John 5:14-15)
These verses tell us we can pray about everything. When we pray according to God's will, he hears us and answers us. Thanking God is also part of praying.
"No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
"And you will always give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Ephesians 5:20)
iii) We communicate with Christians through fellowship, encouraging and building up one another.
"Think of ways to encourage one another to outbursts of love and good deeds. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near." (Hebrews 10:24-25)
It is important to spend time with other Christians to encourage each other to love and do good. The Greek word for fellowship, koinonia, means "sharing in common." We need to share our Christian experience with others who love God, and likewise allow them to share with us. God appoints the church as a place for us to meet other Christians and learn about God. Bible studies and other meetings are also helpful.
iv) We communicate with others who don't know God personally by sharing about our relationship with Jesus.
"There is salvation in no one else! There is no other name in all of heaven for people to call on to save them." (Acts 4:12)

Set aside a time and place for daily personal Bible study and prayer. A good book to begin with is the New Testament Book of John (included in the next section). As you read, underline verses you find particularly meaningful. Pray and ask God to show you who He is and how you can respond to Him.
Study other passages, such as the ones in this lesson. Also read Psalms 1, 34, 103 and 145; Matthew 7:7-11; Luke 9:23-26; John 15:1-7; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; and Colossians 1:9-12.
This is the beginning of your Christian life and there is much more to discover than what's covered in these four lessons. Take the initiative today to find a church in your neighbourhood, and make plans to attend regularly. For additional Christian materials, check out your local Christian bookstore (try looking under "books" in the Yellow Pages). Or call New life Resources at 1-800-667-0558.
As you rely on the Holy Spirit for power, read the Bible, pray, spend time with other believers and tell people about Jesus, God will produce His character in you and you will mature spiritually.
Keys to spiritual growth:
- Understanding your relationship with Jesus
- Experiencing God's love and forgiveness
- Power for living a dynamic Christian life

A Silver Lining to Blount's Infamous Punch
By Chris Mahr
Has it really been four years and change since LeGarrette Blount, then a running back at Oregon, sealed his place in YouTube infamy?
In an instant, Blount went from being a preseason candidate for the Walter Camp and Doak Walker Awards - not to mention one of the stars of a Ducks team with national championship aspirations - to Public Enemy No. 1. That's all the time it took for Blount to connect with a blindside punch to the jaw of Boise State DE Byron Hout after Hout taunted Blount following the Broncos' 19-8 victory in September 2009.
Hout's goading of Blount notwithstanding, there was no defending how Blount responded. (Hout's purported taunt was, "How's that for an a**-whoopin'?", which would've been a direct response to Blount's pregame talk of how the Ducks "owed [Boise State] an a**-whoopin" as payback for a hard-fought loss the year before.) Blount's college career was ruined and his NFL prospects greatly diminished by dreaded "character issues."
In the days and weeks after that infamous punch, if you had predicted that LeGarrette Blount would one day be an X-factor in an NFL conference title game, people would have thought you were crazy. Yet that's exactly who Blount is at the present moment, the battering ram running back for a suddenly fearsome New England Patriots rushing attack.
Curious about how and why that's happened? Take a look at the fallout from that Thursday night in Boise 52 months ago.
When Blount arrived at Oregon prior to the 2008 season, he already had a chip on his shoulder. Both Rivals and Scout.com graded him as a mere two-star prospect coming out of high school in Florida. He couldn't even walk on at the college of his choice, Auburn, because he didn't qualify academically.
After two strong years at East Mississippi Community College, Blount rumbled for 1,002 yards and 17 TDs during that first season in Eugene. But it didn't come easy, as he clashed with head coach Mike Bellotti several times during the year. In fact, one of Bellotti's last moves as HC before stepping down in March 2009 was to indefinitely suspend Blount for a "failure to fulfill team obligations."
Blount was reinstated by Bellotti's successor, Chip Kelly, a month later. But as evidenced by what transpired after the Boise State game, he wasn't a completely changed young man. In a strange way, he needed to know what it was like if football was taken away from him to truly shape up. He needed a come-to-Jesus moment - which is exactly what "The Punch" provided.
Two days after the incident, Blount - having been suspended for the remainder of the 2009 season by Kelly - apologized over the phone both to Hout and Boise State head coach Chris Petersen. Roughly a month after that, he apologized to the Oregon community via a letter in the school's newspaper, the Daily Emerald.
All of which contributed to Kelly's decision to reinstate Blount in mid-November 2009. But by then, LaMichael James had taken the Ducks' starting RB job and run away with it, rendering Blount a backup for the rest of the season. As expected, Blount went undrafted the following spring.
Put yourself in Blount's shoes for a moment. You still carry that aforementioned chip on your shoulder, due to both how you got to Oregon and how unfairly fleeting your success was. The big difference from before, however, is that you've been humbled. You learn to use that chip on your shoulder to your advantage while simultaneously not allowing it to be detrimental to your reputation.
It's what allowed Blount to rush for over 1,000 yards in his 2010 rookie season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, just the second undrafted rookie running back in NFL history to do so. It's what kept Blount from self-destructing after injuries (in 2011) and the emergence of Doug Martin (in 2012) knocked him from the Bucs' No. 1 RB spot. It's what kept him hungry and prepared if/when the Patriots needed him to step up, however unlikely that seemed at the start of this season.
"The Punch" remains an inexcusable moment from Blount's life. But as it turns out, the fall-out from it - and how Blount dealt with it - was exactly what his life and career needed.

The New World II.4 Ride like the wind!
I know I promised last time that we will tell you the story from Washington but we can not move on without writing a few lines about how we got to visit Vancouver while we were staying at Traians place. Initially I was going to include this part in the last post but I guess it has to have it own space.
So, back at Traians house, having a free day on my hands I decided to change the oil and filter of the VStrom. While working on that, I get to meet Bill, Traians neighbor how offers to help with a funnel and a tool to easily remove the filter. After I finish the work I return the tools to Bill and he invites me to see his Harley Davidson bikes. He has 4 or 5 of them in the garage. We get to talk some more and Bill tells me that if I would like, I could go for a ride in the town with one of his bikes. I say thank you but I couldnt. He tells me that I should try it. I decline again and start heading back home. On the way though I am thinking And exactly why cant you do it? He seemed honest when he was offering you one of his bikes. You are done working for the day so what better things do you have to do now? Staying in front of the laptop? I turn back and tell Bill that if he is really OK with it, I would like to have a ride on one of his Harleys.
And ask Andreea if she wants to ride a Harley and sure enough we are ready to go in no time.
We giggle at the idea that we are so wrong on this bike. Not only that we do not have any Harley apparel, we look so off with our touring suits and full face helmets on Well nevermind. Bill encourages us to just go and he points out a place from where we could see the city.
Lets ride!
The thing beneath us is a beast. V engine of some 1800 cc, it is so different that our easy and slow going Gunnar. And I like it. The sound, the power the grunt. On the road Andreea is trying desperately to hold on as her seat is very small and there are no luggage cases no bars, nothing that she could support herself. She just has to hold tight on me. This brings back memories from our first ride together, when she was holding as tightly on an SV650. Who would have belived that in some time she will end up taking pictures, eating and even sleeping on the bike. Not on this one though.
We reach the top of the mountain, in a small parking lot and we check out the view.
After moving around for half an hour we also relax on the grass, take in the views and the nice sunset. Everything is going great. We are soon ready to roll and enjoy the ride back home. Wooo hooo that will be fun, I am really looking forward to try the power of the big V engine some more.
But wait, something is not quite OK. The bike is somehow clumsy. Whats the matter? Andreea tells me from the side: we have a flat tire!
Wait a minute. That was not part of the Harley Davidson advertisement brochure. What to do now? We were relaxed enough to leave home wihtout our tire repair kit (it was going to be only a 10 miles ride and we couldnt possibly have a tire flat so close to home on such a short ride, right? hmmm)
By pure chance I wrote down Bills number before leaving home. (Just in case I thought) And we had a case now! I call him and sure enough, he is not answering and the voice message comes in. I leave him a message, being careful to start with Hi Bill, do not worry, we are OK, the bike is OK and telling him where we are and that we have a flat tire.
OK, now what? There was no point in just waiting there in the parking lot so we start thinking about our options. I figure that if I manage to pomp some air in the tire maybe it would hold enough to get home. 10 miles are not that many. So lets see, do we have a compressor around here? We look wishfully at the bike from all the angles, we go around it a few times, we examine here and plead with her. To no vain. No compressor miraculously appears near it. Well, lets try to find one here. We are in a parking lot after all with quite a lot of cars. So it begins my first awkward part of Operation rescue. Imagine you take your girlfriend or your wife to a nice romantic ride with the car. You reach the top of a nice mountain with a nice view of Vancouver. Then a guy in a strange suit comes along and asks with a foreign accent if you have an air compressor.
But amazingly enough a guy did had one and was willing to lent it. I return enthusiastically at the bike with the compressor in hand.
Great! we have a compressor. Lets use it. Wait a minute, this bike for sure has a power plug, right?
We start again to dance around the motorcycle, examining it and pleading with all the odds to find a power plug. Again in vain. Thats all right, we will not give up. Here goes episode two of our Operation rescue mission. I push the bike near the entrance of the parking lot and wait for cars to come in. Again, imagine yourself driving to this romantic spot with a lovely lady in your car, and then, just as you about to arrive and your mind is already racing towards hmmm nice things, bam, a guy in a strange suit waves at you to stop the car and lower your window. I try to compensate that with a really nice smile and my best I am not a bad guy look. Eh, again we are in luck. A guy helps us with power from his cigaret lighter and we put the air compressor to good use.
Perfect. Now we are in business. Go go go!
We thread our way back on the road we came, rushing a little bit to cover the distance quickly. But just 2 or 3 miles on the way, on a stretch of fast road with only forest around us, I notice the tire is flat again. All the air is out. Mmmm so now we are on the side of the road, with cars swhisshing by, no air compressor, no tire repair kit and the night is settling. But for some reason we are not worried and we are still having fun. It was like a quest to reach back home. And we felt rather safe as we werent that far out of the city. Worse case scenario we could have walked back the remaining 7 miles but we didnt want to leave the bike there in the forest.
We watch the cars passing by in speed. They must hurry to get back home. Sure, they do not have a flat tire. We try to wave and stop some but with no success. I guess a smile is not enough anymore as the nights descents on the road. To make things even better, some cyclists pass by and tell Andreea Thats what you get for riding a Harley! what can I say That is not ours, bu still, it is not nice to say that
Not long a taxi stops by. I guess the smell of money is more powerful than the fear to stop on the side of the road in the dark. We decide to send Andreea back home in order to find rescue and to let people know our new location. I remain with the motorcycle. In the mean time during our stay there for almost 2 hours, from all the cars and motorcycles and bikes that passed by, only 2 guys on SS motos stopped. They didnt have a flat tire kit with them but one of them was living near by and he offered to go home and bring it. Thank you!
After a while help comes from multiple ways. Bill comes with a car in the same moment as the 2 motorcyclists return from their home. I thank the 2 guys and then I put the knowledge acquired in Nakusp about how to fix a tire to some good use.
So the story has a happy ending with all of us returning safely back home.
Despite the small incident with the tire (or maybe due it) we had excellent fun in that ride. We thank Bill again for his kind offer and also for coming to our rescue. Harley Davidson makes some nice rides. I wouldnt take one (at least not the particular one that Ive ridden) on a long trip. But with a little setup, any bike can go anywhere.
From tomorrow, we are back in Gunnars saddle and we will ride the American dream.
