Last weekend, I opened the papers, took one look at the deluge of 'aspirants' coverage, and then closed them again. I just couldn't. I do get paid, sorta, to read the papers - my clients expect me to keep up with the news. But at that point, I really had enough of the divorced-from-reality meaningless statements of aspirants of all sorts, whether for local wards or the presidency, Jubilee, CORD, Amani, whoever.
Everybody accuses everybody else of tribalism, emphasising their own non-tribalism, and in the same breath order their own community to stick together and vote as a block. Tribalism is what the others do - when you do it, it's looking out for your own people. Hate speech is what the others do. We just stand up for our own people. Corruption is what the others do. We just look after our own people. The others committed tribal violence. We just helped our people.
With just a few weeks to go, the gloves are off. There's a hardening of attitudes in the two big camps that worries me. Looking at the opinion poll results, it will be a close election again. Any small lead - two percentage points or so - will be instantly disputed by the other side of the two main camps, no matter which side. Yes, we promise to accept the results and concede defeat - but if we lose, it wasn't democratic, and it's our democratic right to fight against rigging and betrayal. It doesn't matter which one of the two big sides you're looking at: it will be the same. Mirror images.
Back to business. So parties launched manifestos. No small irony in the fact that these manifestos - which should ideally tell you everything about a party's policies - were launched a mere month before the elections. And then there's also this: Since there is no such thing as a proper political party in Kenya - they are, truly, vehicles for their owners -, there is no party that has a think tank, a research division, no party that will have done a couple of years of systematic thinking.
These manifestos are laundry lists underpinned by nothing much. There were many, many promises in those manifestos, falling mostly into two categories: things and services that will be provided for voters, and all sorts of abstract good things to happen, like integration, unity, peace, equitable growth. Bad things will be ended - insecurity, hunger, tribalism (you know, what the others do. Whatever I say is just true and honest, but the others are always bringing up tribalist arguments. Shame on them).
I'm obviously all in favour of world peace and cake for everyone. But get real - how's that going to happen? For one, there's the whole issue of financing this. And that's not even really the main point. You probably wouldn't need that much extra money if you'd stop the waste and theft. Having better basic medical services for everyone isn't really a function of money - it's a function of running competent institutions.
This is the same everywhere: Yes, money helps, but money alone will fix hardly anything. It is the same with primary education, the police, any other public service or institution. Those services are often lousy because the institutions are corrupt, and that's an enormous challenge to overcome: institutions are, and stay, corrupt because that works for someone (Maybe your buddies. Because they will want a pay-back for supporting you in the elections. That's not corruption, just looking after your community). Unless you can tell me, credibly, how you will do this, I'm not buying your shiny manifesto.
And if your recent performance is anything to go by (I'm looking at all of you), then you have no management capacity as a political party to do much of what you promise. Your big parties aren't parties, they are loose groupings of smaller tribal and owner-based entities. You're not united by policy because you have none apart from the cookie-cutter promises on food, security, integration and so on - and if you had policies, actual policies, with a plan on how to implement them you wouldn't be made up of numerous shaky little entities, but you would be one strong, coherent party. Whichever side of you wins will fall apart at the speed of light again.
Your party nominations made it ever so clear how you have very little internal capacity to just keep things together. Ballot papers not being available, returning officers going AWOL, multiple candidates declaring themselves winners, 'aspirants' supported by thugs, beating down the doors of public institutions - I'm sure it wasn't just me who had flashbacks to late 2007.
When it comes to the manifestos, I realized that they don't matter to me. They have no importance. What has importance is that Kenya gets through this without another nascent civil war. Then the rest will fall into place, into its usual, plodding, corrupt-but-hopefully-gradually improving place. Back to normal: normal is certainly not ideal, but better than another round of PEV. Kenya has looked into the abyss and learned the lesson?

2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Coyote Engine
For The First Time Ever, The Mustang Gets Its Own V-8-And We Get The Inside Story On Its Birth
Cylinder Head & Valvetrain
"The Coyote head at a given lift actually outflows a Yates D3 head." Now that Adam Christian, internal combustion engineering analyst, has your attention, "It's a Four-Valve, right, we're cheating [The radical Yates NASCAR race head is a two-valve.-Ed.], but up to our peak lift, 13mm, we're actually out-flowing the Yates head. And that pretty much means we're outflowing Brand X, Y, and Z."
That's a great recommendation for your next Mustang GT's breathing capability. To put it in a Ford production car context, Mike Harrison noted, "These are the best heads we could find that are as-cast production cylinder heads. Adam and Todd made sure that at every valve lift that we were superior in the performance numbers, not just at the top end. It's not a compromised port, it's wonderful."
We'd love to show a flow chart of the new head, but Ford was reluctant to post exact numbers. It causes them headaches from snivelers who don't precisely replicate the published results. But don't doubt the Coyote heads howl all over the V-8 competition. Our guesstimate is these intakes flow a bit over 300 cfm.
More importantly from the Coyote team, "And that's only half the story, because the team didn't just focus on the intake ports ... it was designed as a system; to work with the intake manifold ... It was designed from the valve to the plenum, and not as separate pieces as is often the case because of the way things turn out."
This systems engineering, where powerful computers, innovative software, flexible cross-team communication and parallel development allow keeping many variables updated in real time was repeatedly cited as central to the Coyote's engineering success.
To make such an impressive head, the team knew it would need all the tricks. Four camshafts were a given, both for the four-valve-per-cylinder architecture, but also to enable the hugely important TiVCT function. The best previous modular production casting, the GT500 head was looked at first, and given the short wick on the entire project the initial thought was to use that head. But the GT500 casting had two strikes against it: it was too large and couldn't make the performance numbers! So even though there wasn't time to design a new cylinder head the head specialists went through six months of 12-hour days and working weekends to design and deliver a new casting.
To speed the design the Coyote head had two starting points: architecturally the GT500 head and conceptually the recently designed 3.5/3.7 V-6 combustion chamber-both twin-cam, Four-Valve designs. The Coyote head's architect, Todd Brewer, cylinder-head-design technical expert explained the approach: "We took things we knew how to do and started there."
Don't think Todd copied anything directly from either of these heads. These starting points just gave the general layout and relationships; not a single part was carried over from either head into the Coyote.
Beginning, as always, from inside the head and working outward, from the 3.5-liter concept Todd changed the distance between the valves, the valve angles, the back-cut angles on the valves, and the valve seats. This was all done virtually, with CFD modeling showing what worked and what didn't. The intake valves were stood up so the intake ports would be farther from the engine's centerline. This got the valves away from the pistons, allowing more valve lift and TiVCT range of authority. It also facilitated gentler curves in the intake manifold, increasing breathing.
Port design was driven by Adam Christian's analyticals and Jeff Kolodziejczk's surrogate engine work. Working back-and-forth, Adam would do the quick and dirty one-dimensional computer modeling at his desktop, followed by Todd's three-dimensional work and then a combination of the two-the so-called 1D3D CFD-at Ford's forebodingly named Numerically Intensive Computing Lab. This is where the serious number-crunching is ground out, with the 1D3D software combining both pressure and flow functions into one mind-numbing exercise.
It's difficult to overstate the power of these levels and volume of computing. It is more accurate and vastly quicker than building test parts for something such as a flow bench, even with rapid prototyping. Without it the Coyote would not have made it on time. Even at the design level Todd enjoyed being able to change one variable such as valve angle and have the software automatically update everything else, all the way out to valley volume or exhaust manifold placement.

Why do you call sharks invertebrates if they have backbones?
1 Answer | Add Yours
All of the things I have read do classify sharks as vertebrates because they do actually have backbones. As you can see from the link I've included below, sharks are classified as chondrichthyes, as kind of fish. This classification is part of phylum Chordata -- the vertebrates.
If you have read something that classifies a shark as an inveertebrate it is probably because the shark's backbone is not actually made of bone. Sharks do not have any bones. Instead, their skeletons are made up of cartilage, which is the stuff that makes your ears stiff but bendy.

The Screen of Fantasy in Psychoanalysis
Even before we think, we use fantasy. Is fantasy the 'mother of all media'? Does fantasy save me from myself? Are there fictions that are real? In The Surface Effect André Nusselder examines the space of fantasy between individual 'inner life' and social 'outer life'. Where we assume that fantasy...

I promised myself I was going to give CNN's new weeknight host Erin Burnett a full week of shows before I reviewed her.
It was hard keeping that promise Monday night when I saw her pay a visit to the Occupy Wall Street encampment so she could look down her nose and mock the folks there. I thought it downright cruel the way she and her producer cut one kid from the herd and then tried to make him look like a fool. This was cool kids mocking outsiders on the playground, and it made me angry.

An update. (Get it while you can, 'cause it might not be coming again anytime soon. Sad but true.)
Oh how I have neglected you!
See, mostly what I did here was vent my frustration. (Well, I'd like to think maybe I did a bit more than that...but, no, in all honesty, probably mostly just the venting.) And with the wedding planning, there was plenty of frustration. Lately, not so much.
And I was bored with blogging. Truly, I was. And maybe still am. I haven't decided yet.
But, in case anyone is still listening, here's a brief update.
The wedding went fabulously. I finished all my crafty tasks, everyone was great and helpful, everything was beautiful, etc, etc. It was great and fun and I was pretty damn relaxed for the whole thing.
Yes, at one point I zoned out, apparently transfixed by the ring I had just placed on Fiance's finger, and I forgot to do the whole repeat-after-the-minister thing. And then, when I realized I needed to say something, I couldn't do it without laughing at myself. But, hey, that just added character and personality to the ceremony, right?
And the DJ sucked. A lot. Really. But Husband (because by then I was married!) was much more concerned by that than I was.
And my one cousin, who is 21 or 22, threw a fit about not sitting by her parents at the dinner. She was with all the other similarly-aged cousins at a table. So one of my aunts switched with her and sat with the kids. Sigh. Oh well. I actually expected something worse from her because she is a very me-me-me diva sort.
Oh, and my lovely Husband misplaced his bag of stuff to take on the honeymoon. Following the reception, instead of going straight to the lovely honeymoon suite, we drove all around Bloomington looking for the place he left his bag. Friend's hotel room? No. Parents car? No. Friend's car parked at hotel? No. Car left in church parking lot by other friend? Ding! We have a winner.
The honeymoon was great, too. We did New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. It was awesome. I want to move there. Now. There was lots of eating out, lots of walking around scenic little streets, plenty of history, and a little bit of beach. And, um, some other stuff, too, of course.
Being married is great, in that pretty much nothing has changed. We'd been together for four years and lived together full-time for two, so there weren't really any surprises.
Of course, now people keep sendind us mail to "Mr. and Mrs. Hisfirst Hislast," or even worse just "Mrs. Hisfirst Hislast," and it makes me want to scream. And over the holidays my mother-in-law did some totally unnecessary heavy hinting about incubating her some more grandchildren. (No, she didn't actually say "incubating," that's just what I hear in my head.)
My sister-in-law had another kid. Another girl.
Um, and that's about it for the news!

When it comes to heels, there's none more villainous or despicable (or likable) than Rowdy Roddy Piper and there's no better representation of the Scottish rage than the Rowdy Roddy Piper Costume. Because sometimes a man just has to throw an elbow at another man after jumping off of the top rope or fight a dude in an alleyway over a pair of sunglasses. And sometimes you gotta top that anarchy off with a fine kilt.
Faces aren't for cheering forÔthey're for hitting with fold up chairs. And maybe a pipe if you're feeling up to it. For over 30 years, this man has fought with the best and if he couldn't beat them, he could get some really good insults in. Go get greased up and toss on the pride of Canada himself, the Rowdy Roddy Piper Costume. And remember, the maniac loves you. If you love grappling and throwing suplexes and seeing the world for what it really is, then the Rowdy Roddy Piper Costume is the one for you.

Unfolding Understandings:
A History of the Alverno Learning Process
The core of Alverno's proposed new curriculum model would consist of eight abilities, experiential learning, mastery and assessment.
The curriculum would need to be studied and promoted. The Alverno College Educational Research and Evaluation department (ERE), formerly known as the Alverno Office of Research and Evaluation (ORE), was established in 1977 to study the Alverno learning process: assessment, abilities (competences), outcomes, and follow-up studies with Alverno graduates. Established in 1980 as the Alverno Institute, the Alverno College Institute for Educational Outreach was created to facilitate and manage the many resources that the college developed for the ability-based curriculum and assessment models.
A key component to the success of a unique curriculum program like Alverno's ability-based learning process rests upon the shoulders of its administration, faculty, staff and students. Alverno's administration, faculty and support staff firmly believe in the effectiveness of a learning process that involves emphasis on learning the abilities needed to put knowledge to use. An ability-based education best prepares a student for success in school, in the workplace, at home and in their communities. It provides a student with a basis for life-long learning opportunities as they adapt their classroom experiences to actual life situations.
For students, the Alverno experience brings the learning process to a new level of understanding, creates multi-faceted professional skill sets for handling diverse and complicated situations, and prepares students to adapt to an ever changing world as they move beyond the academic setting.

Phil Greening, the former England and British & Irish Lions hooker, was appointed as head coach of the Scotland sevens squad only five months ago but is believed to have departed already. A source indicated that "personal reasons" had been cited as a major factor but his record has been abysmal and Scotland are now placed 15th in the overall standings and are struggling to maintain their status as a core nation guaranteed participation in major tournaments.
It is all part of a bleak picture which confronts Johnson, Scotland's interim head coach, as he seeks to find a winning RBS 6 Nations Championship formula at a time when the latest results registered by Edinburgh and Glasgow mean they are both now poised to go through their Heineken Cup campaigns without a win.
Naturally he was determined to emphasise what positives he could after naming a 35-man squad for next week's training camp.
"It is what it is," he said of that dismal Heineken Cup form. "Sure I can't do anything much about that, but I'm confident enough that I've got a spine of a team that, if everyone's fully fit, will be able to compete against anyone.
"It's not a perfect world which we've selected from, but there have been some positive signs in the European games as well. I'm a half-full man myself so I'd myself so I'd rather work off that than be dragged down somewhere else."
The January 20-23 camp will, appropriately, take place in Glasgow given that no fewer than 19 Warriors and six more who emerged from their ranks – Johnny Beattie, Kelly Brown, Max Evans, Richie Gray, Euan Murray and Richie Vernon -–are all included. Three more Warriors – John Barclay, Chris Cusiter and Jon Welsh – and another of their former players, Scott Lawson, have, along with the Edinburgh pair Nick De Luca and Ross Rennie, been invited to be with the squad as they recover from injury.
Johnson emphasised that his main criteria had been "form and future" and has consequently included 10 uncapped players in Glasgow's Alex Dunbar, Chris Fusaro, Peter Horne, Sean Kennedy, Sean Maitland, Pat MacArthur, Peter Murchie, Tommy Seymour and Ryan Wilson as well as the Edinburgh lock Grant Gilchrist.

Day 6 Lessons in single track and toilet seats
First day of the Klim Rally and I am excited to go on the guided rides in the area, since I showed up late I never signed up for a ride. I find Mark who works for Klim and seems to be the ringleader of this summit. He ask what I am riding, I say a WR250R, "Ok I will put you with the single track guys" Ok sounds good to me, should be fun in the rain.
We all eat a huge breakfast courtesy of Black Dog Cycle Works( Great owners and wonderful people, GIVE EM YOUR BUSINESS :)
Ok time to go, I follow some of the Klim guys up to the trail head. I look round at all the KTM 450, 550, and basically pure bad ass dirt bikes. I also notice that most of the guys are wearing racing shirts. Ummmm I think I might be over my head here, maybe just maybe these guys have been riding for more than two months. All of them are really nice and seem pretty cool so I pull one of the guys to the side and test the waters "You know I have been only riding two months, I don't want to hold you guys up, i think i might be past my skill set." The response was "hey no worries no one is trying to win a race here you will be fine". Let me also add that I am on a worn out dual sport tire with almost no knobs left and stock gearing on my 250.
We start off and everyone is going like a bat out of hell flying up the trail at speeds I would have never attempted. I don't want to be "that guy" so well looks like everyone rides standing up around here so lets blow up my 250 engine and try and keep up. I actually do pretty respectable and stay with them up to the top of the "hard part". At the top I take a few pics and admire the views, I think everyone else here is ready to ride, not take pics.
They decide to break up in A and B group. Excuse me please put me in the slowest easiest group. That group consisted of me and two others. The guy in front of me on his KTM 550 cant get up the hill so him and his buddy leave so now I am the "B" group. There are two Klim guys who are great and we go for a while, Holy shit these are not trails, is this single track? these are goat trails. One of the Klim guys says i need to lower my tire pressure, maybe that will help.
Yes it must be my tire pressure, thats it. Lower that a few PSI and I will be riding like you guys who have been riding like bad ass's since age 7. I am pretty proud of myself actually since I am going places I would have never tried at speeds no sane man should. Then at the top of a hill my rear tire slides out and I go down a cliff ( I say cliff but actually a really steep wooded hill might be more accurate, for purposes of the story I will say cliff since it sounds more dangerous). I go first off into the abyss and land on my face then I feel my motorcycle on top my head as it skips across my brand new Arai XD4 helmet. Ouch!! I look up and the Klim guy who was following me races ahead to get his partner. I look down and luckily the bike was kept from plummeting further down the hill by a fallen tree. Thanks you dear lord and dirt bike Jesus!
I am sorry for forgetting their names but the Kilm guys were awesome, never once did they make me feel like an ass and dove right in to get my bike out. I am very lucky these guys were there and were able to get the bike out. I told them I had just started riding and they thought I was joking. We proceed to get the bike out slowly, One on the front running the bike and me and the other guy pushing down on the rear to grab some traction and pushing forward. We manage to get it to move a foot at a time but it is super steep ( I say cliff) and I cant even get a foot hold. As I am pushing on the bike staring at a spinning dirt bike tire inches from my face I think, perhaps I should put my helmet back on.
We get the bike as close the top as we can but it is no use, a few other guys in the group who happen to be fire fighters head up the hill with some rope and together we get the WR back on the trail. Looks like everything works , thank you Highway Dirt Bike hand guards, seriously these things take a beating. I am now a Klim consumer for life, first purchase will be a recovery strap.
Ok back on the trail and I am exhausted but I have to get the bike out of here, F'in Awesome. I make my way down this goat trail and tell them to get me out of here please and apologize for ruining his ride making everyone wait but I don't get any dirty looks from anyone; great group. I make my way out wrecking several more times since now every wobble is a crash and basic skills seem difficult, very frustrating. At one point they volunteer to ride my bike over something called a stair step. Holy crap I cant even walk over this vertical surface with carved out steps into the side of a mountain. WOW these guys are unreal, I was told later this was Class A single track and some of the most difficult around. I don't know if this was true or just said to make me feel better but either way a lesson was learned.
Finally I get out and am directed to an easy road along the river back to the camp but I am given bad directions and end up back into the mountains, which allowed me about 6 water crossings, something I had never done but loving it. I realize I am way off course and head back finally to arrive back at camp after a really nice wreck free ride.
I seem to be in one piece with but with a purple foot that looks nasty but doesn't hurt. The guy from Motum magazine said politely "I ran out of talent quickly". Yes sir that would be correct. It poured down rain all day and the Black Dog Cycle Works folks let us hang out in their tent and stay dry.
Klim put on a really great dinner to wrap up the weekend and It was time for the door prizes and awards, apparently they have a toilet seat that everyone signed at the rally and it goes to what I assume has the best crash. A dubious award but an award never the less. Mark from Klim took a vote and said that I drove my "mini bike" from Portland, hit a cow, and had to have my bike recovered. It was no contest I had the lest powerful bike and least amount of talent there. The award goes to me.
Then in a weird twist of fate Jimmy Lewis gave away 1/2 off coupons for his adventure bike classes and guess who won, the guy who apparently needs it the most ME.
Off to bed and tomorrow head to yellowstone. Everyone at the Klim summit was incredible from all the riders, vendors and Klim folks. I shall return and will avoid the single track course :)

Hey PDX Alamo,
So glad you are enjoying your WR as much as me. I hope I didn't lead you astray-----me and Dingweeds have over 35,000 miles on ours now---still going strong. We just got home yesterday from a trip out to Colorado, Utah and New Mexico.
Don't feel bad about the single track----even after 45 years of riding--------I don't regard the WR250R as a single track bike.
A bike ridden on single track should weigh 245 lbs. or less and not be packing anything.
But----sounds like your like me and luv to travel---and single track is almost never a part of that.
I wish my 2 KTM's were as reliable as the WR-----------they are certainly not.

Well done
Now THAT is an Adventure!!!!! After all your mishaps, crashes, reroutes, bruises, tweaked wr2 and you still come through with an A++ attitude and a fine sense of humor. You deserve a reward more like a years supply of free beer, than a butt seat. Fantastic RR, and thanks a million for sharing it. Just put the first 'ouches' on my WR last month too on Black Bear Pass.

Day 7 Riding to Yellowstone with the great Pumpkin
So after being showered with awards and wearing my motorcycle as a hat it was time to head out from the Klim rally and off to Yellowstone. Several of the folks there awoke in tents that apparently had indoor swimming pools from the hard rain but my REI Half Dome 2 plus was dry as a bone. After an awesome breakfast thanks to the Happy Trail folks it was time to hang my stuff up and hope the sun would dry it up.
lost alaskan who I had met there said he didn't need to be any where until Wednesday and joined the adventure. He showed me a few picks of the Bear tooth pass and decided I had to do that and once you see the pics you will as well. So now I had a riding partner and off to Yellowstone. Alaskan was vastly more experienced than me and was on a KTM 990, he had lots of amazing pics from his rides in Alaska and New Zeland, man I had some catching up to do. Several folks at the Klim rally had ridden a dirt rode that was an old railroad track into yellowstone that they said was awesome. Its a bit tricky to find as we passed it and went down the least scenic half first. Anyway from Rigby take HWY 20 to Ashton and then 47 toward Mesa Falls for 12 miles.
Make sure you don't miss Mesa Falls see them first then turn around and go to the parking lot on the west side of the road, its huge an open; go to north end of the parking lot and then drive left through a culvert and your there you are. The old tunnel is closed off but awesome.
Finally we find the Railroad route which will take you all the way to Yellowstone,
Alaskan had warned me that Yellowstone was going to be packed as Disneyland but I thought he was exaggerating and really wanted to go anyhow. Being a sport he agreed to follow. Finding a hotel was not easy or cheap , after seeing it I wouldn't stay in West Yellowstone anyway. Luckily since your reading this you will learn of the best place to stay in the area and I think it was $110 or something. Anglers lodge in Island park Idaho, beautiful place, our porch was right on the river! I bought some beer ( Alaskan Amber, what else) and me and Alaskan talked about life, motorcycles, and old girlfriends.
I tried desperately to find a place to wash my overly ripe clothes. Since I was on the big dog plan I had only one shirt and one pair of socks( I cheated and had two shirts and two pair of socks) , yea it was bad. I had to resort to the sink which made them less likely to give me a rash but I wouldn't call them "clean". Bring an empty nylon drysack to trap the stink or it will attack everything.
While parking at the hotel a lady and guy come over to check out Alaskans KTM 990 and ooo and ahh over it, hey it is a cool bike. The lady dismisses the WR250R and say's " You need to get a bigger bike" Whatever lady I wish I had a bigger bike once or twice so far and was glad I had the WR250R hundreds of times. A lady carrying an oxygen tank shouldn't talk shit about my ride. Why do people say stuff like that, obviously I like it why else would I own it. Just be nice,I don't particularly like Harley's but if someone is so proud of there bike I don't feel the need to say "To much chrome on that thing, hardly any ground clearance on that" Anyhow ...Tomorrow its Yellowstone

Day 8 Yellowstone or Wetstone
Get going and jump back on the railroad route into west Yellowstone. We cross into Montana from Idaho on the dirt track, I really get a kick out of crossing State lines on dirt tracks.
As we enter the gate I am happy to learn I get a discount for having two less wheels than everyone else . It is a beautiful amazing day and I stop at the entrance to shed my jacket liner and open all the vents. Wow its getting warm and I am so lucky to have a gorgeous sunny day. About 5 miles in off to north east I spy a giant wall of ominous dark clouds, hummm that was a quick turn maybe we will outrun it or it will blow pass . Lost Alaskan was right there are a ton of people here and they all drive like crap. I assume the conversation goes like this in the cars ahead STOP!!! Its a mule deer babe lets lock it up in the middle of the road and hold up a line of traffic so we can get the perfect pic. Yea its been 5 minutes I dont care I am on vacation and the road is my own personal parking lot. I think because I have been enjoying the best scenery all to myself for a week I perhaps need to become acclimated again.
The rain clouds start looking a bit worse and I hold off as long as I can but have to make a stop. On goes the Klim latitude pants which never ever got a drop of water through them I might add . I wish I had waterproof gloves o well nothing I can do now. The rain starts and doest stop, I am on the quick rainy tour of Yellowstone but I am being positive about the rain....maybe the crowds will disappear because of the rain. Nope that didn't slow em down, I am driving by awesome scenery and bubbling springs and mud pits, amazing!! I will have to return in the offish season when its dry.
There it is Old Faithful, always wanted to see this and judging be the parking lot the size of that at the Staples center I will be sharing. Wow I knew there would be crowds but it is massive crowds and Lost Alaskan wasn't exaggerating about it being Disney Land. This did help reenforce my passion in the Adventure world since seeing so much amazing country on my own or with just a few people there. I really appreciate the ability to really truly get away even more.
We continue back into the rain and I explain to Lost Alaskan I wish I had waterproof gloves since I cant feel my fingers anymore as my gloves are soaked. He pulls his gloves out of the engine and says , Old indian trick, they will dry em out while your stopped and at least make them warm Humm I didn't know old west Indians had motorcycles but I like it. Alaskan offers up his waterproofish gloves as he has an extra pair. Thank you sir they worked for a while but eventually gave in and it was freezing fingers again. Slow and cold that is the tempo
A day of cold rain riding at slow speeds through the park has us both wiped, Alaskan suggest eating at the Roosevelt Lodge in the park, Sounds good to me and for kicks I ask if any rooms available. Humm sir let me check .....nope and nothing for the next 3 months. What I figured. This place is pretty cool and worth a stop even if your not eating. I ordered the full rack of ribs and man o man they were tasty falling off the bone . I hung my jacket and gear on the back off the chair and created a nice pool of water as it continued to drip the hours of rain it collected.
The drive out of the park to Cook City was incredible and dry, amazing scenery everywhere you look.
Roll into cook city and luckily find a very reasonable room at the Soda Butte lodge. Considering everyone else was full a its Nice enough place, you wont find fuzzy robes but clean and not full. The parking lots full of Harley guys so I say hello fellow motorcycle afficianado and get the stink eye from several; whatever dude a hello back wouldn't crack your billy bad ass facade now go rub your bike with a diaper. Nice little bar in there as well, have one or two beers and we are done. I take out my phone and the bartender says No service here, Cook City is stuck in 1974 Long day so off to bed. Alaskan hangs all the gloves on the curtain rods explaining heat rises and they will dry quicker that way, Old Indian trick he says. Well they were dry in the morning so must work.
174 Miles with an average speed of 16 mph and learn its not the milage that counts but the time in the saddle. Tomorrow the Bear tooth and the pumpkin takes a nap.

Dogs are gifted with the ability to easily rely on their other senses to make up for one that they have either lost or never had in the first place. Dogs with total congenital deafness are born deaf and never experience the sensation of sound. They do not know that they are deaf or that they are any different from other dogs. Most astute and reputable breeders will recognize a deaf puppy well before the puppies are ready to go to their new owners, and will fully disclose the dog's condition to potential owners. Normal puppies start responding to sound from about day 10 onward after birth.
Dogs with acquired deafness usually become deaf gradually. Most owners do not discover that their dog is "going deaf" until the animal has lost most of its ability to hear. They may notice that something about their dog seems a bit "off," but they usually do not suspect hearing loss until it has become fairly obvious.
Dogs typically show more obvious symptoms of hearing loss than do cats. Of course, it is easier to identify deafness in a dog born without hearing than in one who develops deafness gradually. In either case, signs of deafness include:
Breeds with white, spotted, dappled or merle haircoats are predisposed to congenital deafness, although other breeds can be affected as well. More than 50 breeds have been identified by various authorities as being susceptible to congenital deafness. The Dalmatian is most commonly affected. Other at-risk breeds include the Akita, American Staffordshire Terrier, Australian Heeler, Australian Shepherd, Beagle, Border Collie, Boston Terrier, Boxer, Bull Terrier, Catahoula Leopard Dog, Collie, Dappled Dachshund, Doberman Pinscher, Dogo Argentino, English Bulldog, English Setter, Fox Terrier, Foxhound, German Shepherd, Great Dane, Great Pyrenees, Ibizan Hound, Jack Russell Terrier, Kuvasz, Maltese, Miniature Pinscher, Miniature Poodle, Old English Sheepdog, Papillon, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Rottweiler, St. Bernard, Schnauzer, Scottish Terrier, Sealyham Terrier, Shetland Sheepdog, Siberian Husky, Toy Poodle and West Highland White Terrier, among others. The list of affected breeds continues to expand and certainly may change over time depending upon breed popularity and breeding practices.

They Started the Party Before Everyone Got There
While the outrage over the genocide in Darfur hasn't waned, the news coverage has. Now, as peace talks that might end the genocide begin, coverage has been stirred up. Unfortunately, the news is that the talks might fail if factions boycotting the talks decide not to attend. The current talks are expected to do no better than last year's talks in Nigeria, which resulted in only one faction becoming peaceful. The article never tells exactly why the rebel leaders won't attend the talks, but it says that the talks are being held in Sirte, the hometown of Libya's leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi. Perhaps they don't want to leave Darfur for Libya. The audience isn't told why, just that they're boycotting the talks. The article doesn't focus on the fact that there are talks starting, but instead talks about the rebel leaders boycotting them.

Honda Deauville (NT700V) Discussion Thread

I like the idea of a smaller tourer.
Couple things to consider: if you haven't checked lately, manufacturers have had an across the board increase.
A 2009 Suzuki C50T cruiser is $9,099. A Honda Shadow 750 is $7999. A non-ABS Strom 650 is $7999.
While I'd love honda to buy market share- the reality is this isn't priced way out of line with current offerings from overseas.
In addition, I think the size is fine for the average person who likes a roomy seat and some storage, but also fuel economy. In short, the PC800 crowd- who just want to ride in practicality.
I've been commuting primarily on an F650GS- and it's done fine. It's rated at 50bhp, and I've not felt it to be especially lacking in power needed for a variety of riding tasks and environments.
With a claimed 67 horsepower, this bike will have power comparable to many larger cruisers but with less weight. Shaft drive, tubeless tires, integrated storage, etc. etc. etc.- I'm excited.
As much as I have enjoyed (and continue to enjoy) my larger displacement bikes as well- the reality is that I don't see a need for mega-Mondo engines for cruising at 80mph. The smaller ones get it done, often with better gas mileage. I routinely ride at 80 on the 650, and get 50 mpg- I can't wait to see what this bike returns.
I canceled my DN-01 order for the floor- but I will have one of these on the floor as soon as we can. It looks like December, at this point.

Of course these hints are always hit and miss as retailers sometimes create placeholder entries based on the same type of rumors you read right here on TiPb so take this with a white iPhone 4 sized grain of salt.
Apple's only official word on the White iPhone 4 has been "coming this spring" so February might be a touch early. However with the Verizon iPhone set to ship on February 10 and an iPhone 5 almost certainly following in June the window for a white iPhone 4 is already very small. (Even Leanna has gone after market!)
What do you think, will we finally see the white iPhone 4 soon and if so, too late or better late than never?

White iPhone shows up in order systems, available Feb 27?
I have to agree with you. I have been talking to friends (AT&T, have iPhone 4) and they are asking me why I am going to preorder the Verizon iPhone 4. I tell them the simple answer is that I have been waiting for an iPhone on Verizon since 2007, and I don't want to wait any longer. I also think that iPhone 5 (summer 2011) if it DOES appear summer 2011, won't be much of a boost (3G to 3Gs vein). And I will be eligible in mid 2012 for iPhone 6. Then I got to thinking. Verizon iPhone 4 in Feb 2011, white iPhone 4 on both(?) March 2011 then iPhone 5 in June/July? Something doesn't seem right. Tim Cook said that the current LTE chipsets would cause compromises Apple isn't willing to make, but since this space changes so fast, and their two premier US carriers do not yet have any 4G phones out there, but will in mid 2011, why not extend the life of the iPhone 4? I could see six months, to December 2011/January 2012, and possibly even summer 2012? Would it be that much of a stretch that the next new iPhone will be the iPhone 4G, released on both carriers? There are too many competing priorities right now, it seems. Why not slow it down a bit. They did the biggest move they could to slow/keep pace with Android by coming to Verizon. Apple is going to make money on an iPhone all year at this point, so does it matter if it is a completely new model?
No way the iPhone 5 is delayed - annual cycles would conflict IE the iPad 3 is April 2012 and iPods will be fall 2011 so at worst maybe Verizom skips iPhone 5?
Agree 100% iPhone 5 will not be delayed it will be on VZW and AT&T just look at the 4.3 beta code,also every iPhone has been a huge jump from the other some software some hardware some both if you had say the 1st iPhone then got the 3G and had to go back to the original for some reason it would seem like a piece of crap that can be said for any of them,I love my IP4 and when IP5 comes out I'm gonna get it and I bet if for some reason I got to go back to an IP4 it will seem like a piece of crap
as much as I would love to have the white iPhone 4, It's too late for me. I'm not dropping more $ for a white iPhone 4, 4-5 months before I drop more $ for an iPhone 5 (because lets be honest: as much as I say I'll wait and see if the features merit an upgrade, I've bought every phone to date, and that's not likely to change this year) So, I'm sorry Apple, but you missed the boat. I still love you, and want my white iPhone 5 though, mkay?
I highly doubt a white iPhone 4 would be released between the Verizon iPhone 4 and AT&T's iPhone 5. If a white iPhone is going to be released, it'll probably be the iPhone 5 - it just makes the most business sense. Come June, Apple will announce some hardware upgrades with the 5 and say "Oh, by the way we now offer it in white." Verizon will more than likely skip iPhone 5 and just sync up with next year's iPhone release.
Too late to care, just hope they redesign the 5 to have the option for white on launch date. I've been with black since the 3G , think it's time to switch.

180 jobs face axe at Ulverston Glaxo plant
Last updated at 15:31, Tuesday, 22 December 2009
AN Ulverston firm is planning compulsory redundancies next year, despite being shortlisted for a £300m development.
GlaxoSmithKline is one of three sites nationally in the running for a new biopharmaceutical manufacturing plant.
But a decision could be 18 months away, so managers are pressing ahead with a plan to cut the workforce by around 180 to 220.
Unions at the antibiotics factory in North Lonsdale Road say they will argue in future negotiations that Glaxo should put further job cuts on hold until more is known about the potential new biochemicals plant.
The announcement about a possible new plant followed the government's pre-budget report proposals to cut tax by more than 60 per cent on profits from UK patents. The other potential sites being considered by Glaxo bosses are in Stevenage and Barnard Castle in County Durham.
The Ulverston plant announced in February last year that it was slashing 330 jobs to cut costs.
The factory's financial problems started when its successful antibiotics lost patent protection and could be copied more cheaply.
Senior Unite union official, Steve Mashiter, said: "We are not happy losing people and we are not happy about compulsory redundancies.
"I am sure that people are crossing their fingers that this new plant will come to Ulverston and everybody will try to push in that direction. You can rest assured we will press it from now on, although everyone accepts it is early days."
Unions say the site has the infrastructure, including an underused modern effluent plant, and the skills for a new plant – while space is available after the clearance of several buildings.
Mr Mashiter said the union would use the hope of the new plant in opposing any compulsory job cuts.
A spokeswoman for Glaxo in Ulverston said: "Upon announcing the business plan to restructure the Ulverston site operations with associated redundancies in April 2008, the site headcount was over 530.
"Since then we've provided voluntary redundancy opportunities to staff and through consultation we've been able to release a number of these applicants. This has resulted in a site headcount at the end of 2009 slightly less than 400.
"We still have a number of outstanding voluntary redundancy applications to consider and phased release plans will be developed, where appropriate, such that the releases are again consistent with business needs.
"In addition to voluntary redundancy, the site recently communicated that it envisaged a compulsory redundancy programme would be required during September 2010."
She said Glaxo was considering the request for more voluntary redundancies.
Of the new plant, the spokeswoman said: "GSK recently announced the potential to build a new biopharmaceutical plant somewhere in the UK, but the timing of the decision on where this may be built is unlikely to be taken in the short term.
"The business plan is designed to mitigate the effects of a deteriorating market situation for existing Ulverston products resulting from severe competitive pressures.
"Delivery of the plan aims to provide a platform for the best possible chance of a sustainable future for the Ulverston site.
"Until the location of the new biopharmaceutical plant is confirmed, and this is likely to be some time off, it is critical for the site's future that the site maintains delivery of the business plan to the required timeframes."
The plan will reduce the land used by approximately 40 per cent to about 30 acres.
Furness Enterprise chief Harry Knowles said his agency would "move heaven and earth" for a new plant if it became a real possibility but said the new plant was highly speculative.
The agency says it will work alongside Glaxo in a bid to minimise job losses and to maximise jobs created from the Glaxo Enterprise Fund, which was set up by the firm to help employees facing redundancy.

Track Notes
1. Tico Tico. arr. Killeen
/ Hession.
Derek Hickey accordion. Frankie Gavin fiddle.
Eugene Killeen percussion, drums and keyboards. Tim
Edey guitars.
Written in 1917 by Zequinha de Abreu, and originally entitled
Tico Tico no Farelo, this Brazilian tune has been recorded
by countless artists, among them Fintan Stanley and Dermot
Byrne. This recording features fleet-fingered virtuoso Derek
Hickey who makes light work of the tunes technical challenges.
Appropriately, for a Latin-American tune, we have included
driving rhythm guitars, drums, and a feast of percussion instruments.
2. A Mozart Celebration. composed by Gavin / Hession.
arr. Hession
Frankie Gavin Fiddle. Carl Hession Piano. Patricia
Kelly strings.
This work was commissioned by Lyric F.M. to celebrate the
250th anniversary of Mozarts birth. The rondo from Eine
kleine Nachtmusik is the basis of the composition, though
we have references to other Mozart masterpieces throughout
the work.
3. The Wild Goose. arr. Hession / Killeen.
Michelle Lally vocal. Tim Edey guitar. Eugene
Killeen Rhodes, synthesizers, drums. Derek Hickey
accordion. Patricia Kelly strings. Jackie Murphy
This song was recorded by Kate Rusby on her 1999 album Sleepless.
It is classed as traditional, and associated with Scottish
folk music. Although the arrangement is quiet close to the
original recording,Michelle gives the tune her own distinctive
4. The Shaskeen Reel. arr. Hession.
Patricia Kelly strings. Carl Hession harpsichord.
Frankie Gavin fiddle.
One of the most famous tunes in traditional dance music, the
Shaskeen Reel was collected by O Neill in his Dance
Music Of Ireland, and was recorded by legendary Sligo fiddle-player
Michael Coleman in 1921. Here the tune is given a Baroque
setting, beginning with a fugue and moving on to develop both
parts of the tune. Carls creative string writing is,
once again, much in evidence.
5. Lord Mayo. arr. Hession.
Carl Hession piano. Patricia Kelly strings.
Lord Mayo was one of Turlough OCarolans patrons,
and the blind harpist often played for him and his friends
at Castle Bourke,Mayos residence. The air has been recorded
by Sean ORiada on his album ORiada, as well as
by Donna Long on Cherish The Ladies. Supported by a light
string accompaniment, Carls piano takes centre-stage.
6. The Barndance Set. arr. Hession.
Rick Epping harmonicas. Frankie Gavin fiddle.
Carl Hession piano.
The two tunes here are loosely known as barndances. The first
is a composition of Gavins, and arose out of an impromptu
session in Norway some time ago. It was a logical choice for
inclusion on this album, and a fine addition to Gavins
collection of original tunes. The second piece, Poll HaPenny,
is classified as a hornpipe, and has been recorded by Ronan
Browne, whose playing is much influenced by that of Co. Clare
fiddle-player Bobby Casey. Printed versions of this tune can
be found in Pat Mitchells The Dance Music Of Willie
Clancy, as well as in ONeills Dance Music Of Ireland.
Frankie and Rick give a terrific rendition of both tunes,
with the blues element to the fore in Poll HaPenny.
7. Both Sides Of The Tweed. arr. Hession.
Michelle Lally vocal. Frankie Gavin fiddle.
Tim Edey guitar. Eugene Killeen Rhodes, synthesizers,
A composition of Dick Gaughans, this song has been recorded
by Capercaille, with Karen Matheson on vocal. The lyrics plead
for political and social harmony between Scotland and England,
and the song could be described as
8. The Arrival Of The Queen Of Sheba (in Galway). arr.
Frankie Gavin fiddle. Derek Hickey accordion.
Carl Hession harpsichord, bass. Eugene Killeen
Born in 1685, the same year as J.S. Bach, Handel is probably
most famous for his Messiah which was first performed in Dublin
in 1742. The Queen Of Sheba is a sinfonia from his opera Solomon
(1749) and while it has been given a trad treatment
here, the accompaniment is faithful to its original Baroque
setting, with the harpsichord providing a continuo line characteristic
of 17th century keyboard technique.
9. Ar Éirinn Ní Neosfainn Cé hí.
arr. Edey.
Tim Edey guitar.
This beautiful slow air was written by Earnán de Regge
and has been recorded by many artists including The Dubliners,
Aylish Kerrigan and Con Greeney. Tim plays the tune with a
delicate rubato and uses some unusual harmonic structure and
voicings. A truly fine interpretation from one of the great
modern guitarists of the traditional idiom.
10. Eleanor Rigby. arr. Hession
Frankie Gavin fiddle, flute. Carl Hession piano.
Daniel Healy trumpet. Patricia Kelly strings.
This well-known Beatles tune dates back to 1966. A feature
of the original song was the sympathetic string arrangement,
written by George Martin. In this setting, the song is treated
as a single jig, one of the most popular dance-forms found
in Irish music.
11. Badinerie / The Rambles of Bach. arr. Hession.
Frankie Gavin fiddle. Derek Hickey accordion.
Carl Hession harpsichord. Patricia Kelly strings.
Badinerie is the final movement from Suite No. 2 in B minor.
Bachs music has been given unusual interpretations from
time to time, notably Walter Carlos synthesized arrangements
and Jacques Loussiers jazz treatments. Here we present
a trad setting of the
12.Down By The Glenside. arr. Hession / Killeen.
Michelle Lally vocal. Tim Edey guitar. Patricia
Kelly strings. Frankie Gavin flute. Eugene Killeen
Rhodes, synthesizers.
This song was written by Peadar OCearnaigh, an uncle
of Brendan Behan, and a poet / songster and soldier in the
Irish National Revolution (and the man who also composed the
Irish national anthem, The Soldiers Song). The song
is also known as The Bold Fenian Men, a reference to the Fenian
movement which supplanted Young Ireland in the 1860s. The
arrangement is in a modern, semiclassical style, resembling
an art song, and with a plaintive and sympathetic vocal by
13. Sporting Galway. composed and arranged by Carl Hession.
Frankie Gavin fiddle. Carl Hession piano, harpsichord,
bass. Patricia Kelly strings. Eugene Killeen
A newly composed three-part reel, featuring an introductory
section that moves from 7/4 time to 8/4, and interspersed
with touches of Baroque harpsichord, which return after the
second playing of the reel.
14. From Jig To Jigs. arr. Hession
Frankie Gavin fiddle. Rick Epping harmonica.
Carl Hession piano.
This track is based on the slip jig Moll Roe, and two single
jigs,Will You Come Home With Me and The Woods Of Limerick.
In its dance-form, the slip jig is very graceful, though less
popular in its tune-form to the single jig. The combination
of fiddle and harmonica creates a wonderful sound, especially
in the hands of such competent musicians. Moll Roe has a few
different titles, and was recorded on Irish Pipers, Vol.II.
Will You Come Home With Me and The Woods Of Limerick are associated
with Willie Clancy and Martin Connolly.
15. Inishbofin. composed and arranged by Carl Hession.
Patricia Kelly strings. Carl Hession keyboards.
Ciara Murphy flute.
Inishbofin, off the north-western shores of Connemara, is
a tranquil place that has managed to retain all its island
traditions. This piece was written for full orchestra, but
is here given a chamber setting, and features Ciara Murphy,
a former pupil of Carls at Coláiste Iognáid,
16. The Broom O The Cowdenknowes. arr. Hession
/ Killeen.
Michelle Lally vocal. Frankie Gavin Flute.Tim
Edey guitar. Eugene Killeen Rhodes, synthesizers.
Jackie Murphy harmonies.
This song was published by John Playford in 1651 and subsequently
used in The Beggars Opera. Cowdenknowes mansion and
estate is just south of Earlstown in Berwickshire. Frankies
haunting flute introduction sets up another fine vocal track,
with Jackie Murphy from Co. Carlow on backing vocals.
17.Goldsmiths Lament. arr. Hession.
Frankie Gavin fiddle. Patricia Kelly strings.
Carl Hession synthesizers. Eugene Killeen hammered
This beautiful slow air, written by accordionist Séamus
Shannon, is a lament for the poet Goldsmith. Although a recent
composition, the piece has the same greatness and rich melodic
structure found in the big songs from the tradition.
18.Hard Times Come Again No More. arr.
Hession / Killeen.
Michelle Lally vocal. Daniel Healy trumpet.
Carl Hession organ. Frankie Gavin fiddle. Eugene
Killeen synthesizers, drums. Patricia Kelly
A Stephen Foster song, written in 1854 around the time he
began arranging his most popular tunes (such as this one,
and Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair) for guitar accompaniment.
This version has an emphatic military-band feel, featuring
Daniels brass-parts, as well as snare and side-drum
elements, while Michelles vocal underlines the solemnity
of the setting.
19. Roseland Barndance. arr. Hession.
Derek Hickey accordion. Frankie Gavin fiddle.
Tim Edey guitar. Carl Hession piano.
This barndance was written by the legendary Boston accordion
player Joe Derrane, and recorded, with Carl, on Joes
1996 album Return To Inis Mór. The title is a reference
to Roseland Studios in Moate, Co.Westmeath, where that album
was recorded. (The town of Moate is named for the remarkable
mound of Móta Gráinne Óige which rises
beside it). A feature of the tune is the chromatic movement,
especially in the third part, which illustrates Joes
skill, as a composer (and as a performer ).

Stephen Petronio Company
Like Lazarus Did
About This Performance
The mythology of resurrection has inspired innovative New York dance-maker and SF Performances favorite Stephen Petronio to create a new evening-length work with composer Son Lux and visual artist Janine Antoni. Petronio's hallmark is a visceral collision of movement, music, visual art and fashion that come together in vividly sensual performance landscapes that are "unlike anything offered by other contemporary choreographers." (The New York Times)
Artist Biography
For nearly 30 years, Stephen Petronio has honed a unique language of movement that speaks to the intuitive and complex possibilities of the body within the shifting sphere of our current time. He continues to create a haven for dancers with a keen interest in history and an appetite for the unknown. Petronio was born in Newark, NJ, and received a BA from Hampshire College, Amherst MA, where he began his early training in improvisation and dance technique. He was greatly influenced by working with Steve Paxton as well as the dancing of Rudolph Nureyev and was the first male dancer of the Trisha Brown Company (1979 to 1986). He has gone on to build a unique career, receiving numerous accolades, including a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, awards from the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, an American Choreographer Award, and a New York Dance and Performance "Bessie" Award.
Petronio has created over 35 works for his company, and has been commissioned by some of the world's most prestigious modern and ballet companies, including William Forsythe's Ballett Frankfurt (1987), Deutsche Oper Berlin (1992), Lyon Opera Ballet (1994), Maggio Danza Florence (1996), Sydney Dance Company (2003, full evening), Norrdans (2006), the Washington Ballet (2007), and The Scottish Ballet (2007).
His company repertory works have been set on The Scottish Ballet, Norrdans in Sweden, Dance Works Rotterdam, National Dance Company of Wales, X Factor Dance Company in Edinburgh, Ballet National de Marseille, Ballet de Lorraine, and London Contemporary Dance Theater. In 2009, Petronio completed an evening-length work, Tragic Love for 30 dancers in collaboration with composer Son Lux for Ballet de Lorraine. He completed two additional new works with Son Lux: By Singing Light, for the National Dance Company of Wales (2010), and The Social Band, a commission for OtherShore Dance Company in New York (2011). Other recent projects include Prometheus Bound (2011), a musical for the American Repertory Theater, in collaboration with director Diane Paulus (HAIR), writer and lyricist Steven Sater (Spring Awakening) and composer Serj Tankian (Grammy award, lead vocalist "System of a Down"). Petronio performed his rendition of Paxton's Intravenous Lecture at the TEDMED—2012 conference at the Kennedy Center Opera House in Washington, DC, and has spent the last several years working on his memoir, Confessions of a Motion Addict. In October 2012, Petronio received the honor of being named the first Artist-in-Residence at The Joyce Theater and will be in residence for a two-year period.
