Our Marto Viking Sword was hand made by Marto of Toledo Spain, a reproduction of a Viking sword of the 9th -10th century, characterized by a large steel made blade with a central fuller along its upper third. The Viking Sword has a forged and fully tempered stainless steel blade that has been polished and detailed. This sword blade will not rust and does not require any care. The bronze plated cast metal hilt is finely worked with geometrical and abstract figures. The guard is short and ellyptical, the handgrip is straight and the pommel is specular to the guard even if of reduced size. With over 47 years of experience you can be assured that your Marto sword is one of the finest decorative swords available on the market today. Overall length 36 1/2"
The Viking raids sudden appearance by the end of the 8th century are attribued to overpopulation and opportunity. The increase in trade in Europe meant increased chances for piracy. Basic Viking armament comprised a sword or axe, spear and shield, and a short knife attached to their belts. Of these weapons, the sword was the most popular and was considered with great respect, especially in the case of swords that had been handed down from generation to generation.

In the last week there have been several break-ins to vehicles in the North Connel and Benderloch areas.
Thieves seem to be targeting commercial vans and cars, with tools being stolen and police are warning owners not to leave any items of value in their vehicles overnight, including personal cars.
The police are asking members of the public to be vigilant and to report any suspicious behaviour to them; and if possible, take down vehicles registration details.
Residents have noticed an increase in police patrols especially late at night.
Anyone with information about the crimes is asked to phone Oban police on 01631 510500.

The city of Kalamazoo hired Good Builders, Inc., to build a new courthouse for $560,000. Good Builders had barely broken ground when the city notified them that it would not be able to pay for the building after all and asked Good Builders to stop all work. Good Builders refused saying, "Hey, you guys signed a contract. We know our rights." At the time the city asked them to stop, Good Builders had expended $5000 on materials, approximately $3000 of which could have been returned at no loss to themselves. By completing the project, however, Good Builders expended an additional $400,000. In a breach of contract action by Good Builders against the city, how much money do you think the court should award Good Builders? Why?

Vermiculite Base Insulation
I have a 4" layer of 5:1 vermiculite concrete. Is that adequate to insulate the bottom of my oven? Do I need to add some board insulation above the vermiculite? I plan on insulating the outside with four of the 1"x25' rolls of ceramic blanket. Money is tight, and I think the ceramic board is going to cost me close to $200. That would almost pay for the rest of my bricks, and the blanket insulation. I don't need to cook three days later, but I also don't want my oven cooling down after a half hour. I would hate to lift the oven off the base and add more insulation after its done. I think its going to be pretty heavy. :)
So here was yesterday:
And here is today:
Re: Vermiculite Base Insulation
From what I have read many feel that 4" of 5-1 of vermicrete is enough. If you want to save money and still have more insulation without adding much more height, Two inches of Calcium Silicate would be less than half the price of what you quoted as the ceramic board sells for. It is equal in insulation factor as the 4" of V-crete which you already have.
I hope that 3 rolls of ceramic fiber blanket is enough for my oven (44"), but then again I am planning to put 4" of V-crete over that.
Re: Vermiculite Base Insulation
I think you will be fine with the vermicrete you already have. :)
Re: Vermiculite Base Insulation
Thanks for the replies. I'm at the point of no return, and just a little bit nervous. Hopefully my floor will go in tomorrow.

Israeli biker nears finish line for cancer research
Posted By Abigail Klein Leichman On October 16, 2012 @ 8:20 am In Life | No Comments
As ISRAEL21c reported back in June, 24-year-old Israeli Tom Peled was poised to begin a cross-country biking trip from Los Angeles to New York in support of the Israel Cancer Research Fund.
On October 21, Tom Peled will roll into his final stop of Bike for the Fight, which was inspired by the death of his father from cancer in January 2011.
"We already rode 2,400 miles and raised $80,000 for cancer research in Israel!" he wrote us last week. "But more than just numbers, we have had unbelievable experiences with so many people that were touched by what we are doing."
Often joined by groups of cyclists from the communities he passed through, Tom met the Israeli ambassador to the United States and appeared at campuses across the country. An auction prize of spending the final week with him and companion bikers Roey, Eran, and Luca was won by Dror Malo, a Microsoft Israel employee and one of Bike for the Fight's biggest supporters.
Tom reports that everyone is asking if there will be another ride. "The amount of seeds we are planting, funds and awareness that we are raising for cancer research, and the amount of people we move and touch with what we are doing – it has all become bigger than us, bigger than we could ever imagine, and there is no stop," he replies. "Bike For the Fight is finishing this journey in a week, but New York is not going to be our last destination."
You can read Tom's blog here and follow him on YouTube.

These poppies comes mainly from the Himalayas of China and Tibet, where temperatures are cool and monsoons are plenty. The plant still demands sufficient moisture and a moderate temperature. The
large blue petals are stunning and well worth the effort to keep the flowers alive.
Some of the
truest blue blossoms in existence, the long stemmed delphinium flowers, are associated with levity and light-heartedness, which make them appropriate for rejoicing in the birth of a boy.
The voluptuous hydrangea can be incredibly stunning and dries exceptionally well. These florals can vary in color from white to deep purple, depending on the acidity of the soil they grow in. While there has been much debate about the meaning of these flowers, they can convey heartfelt feelings as a gift, making them a perfect choice for a congratulatory message.
Larger clusters are also highly fragrant, offering a pleasant scent in whatever room they are placed in.
These daisy-like perennials have a starry shaped flower that is especially striking. They are thought to
bring good luck and protect against evil, and are also hardy and long-lasting, making them an ideal gift. The plant's height can range from eight inches to as high as eight feet, depending on the type.
These vibrant, climbing flowers are often called
"Queen of the Vines," and bloom in a range of colors. True
blue varieties include Crystal Fountain, Durandii, Arabella and the much sought-after Perle D'Azur. There's even a
variety named after Prince Charles, with mauve four inch flowers and twisted petals.
Whether you are ecstatic over the birth of Prince George, have a newborn boy in your life, or are just looking for a calming centerpiece that emanates peace and tranquility, these blue blooms are all fitting flowers for any occasion.

The West on the Eve of a New World Order. The 18th century stands as the turning point in world history, as the power of the old order diminished and revolution ushered in a new age. The century began with power in the hands of nobles, monarchs and clerics. Large-scale war demanded increasingly large armies with the subsequent need for higher taxes to fund them. In addition, growing populations and fundamental changes in economics began to reduce the power and importance of the old order. New world wars allowed Great Britain to create a world wide empire backed by the greatest navy. Increasing economic pressures helped to spawn a revolutionary movement that surged to the surface in the Western Hemisphere and in France. The movement demanded political liberty and equality –key concepts of the Enlightenment. While limited in reality, opportunities for most people were increased, and government became more responsive to the desires of its citizens.

The Restorer
"Jonathan found peace 'cause he was gonna die in two weeks," says the young woman in the pink sweatshirt. Another student agrees: "This may be the wrong thing to say, but it made me angry that he was forgiven." The class debates the merits of what Wilson is doing; some fish for more details about how he works. It's gritty talk, both analytical and philosophical. "If we can't be heard," Wilson reminds them, "we're trapped in our own experience."
Wilson's energy picks up as the afternoon wanes. He loves that these students are talking about this stuff, even if some of them don't agree with what he's doing. "You're great," he tells the class. "I just love how open you are."
Finally Wilson looks up at the clock. It's time to go. He looks disappointed. "I could go on," he says. "You really have to shut me up here."
Wilson doesn't know how long he can keep doing this kind of work. He does know there's an end point–that there will come a time when the travel, and the emotional toll, will be too much. After that? He might write, maybe publish a book that tells the story of his work and "why it is I do what I do." But for now he goes on, and can go on, because of Brooklin. This little town is his buffer. It's where he decompresses; it's where he can sift through the wrenching stories people tell him; can absorb them. It's where he comes home.
"To listen to what a survivor lives with, I'm glad to be able to do it. I'm grateful to be able to do it," he says. "But if I couldn't get away from it, if I couldn't come home …" He pauses. "Keep in mind where I live. I'm in Maine, overlooking the water, one of the most beautiful places on earth. There's something really important about being able to come home."
Home is where I found Wilson one morning this past August. As he pledges to do every year, he'd tried to make it a quiet month. He'd stayed off the road and, as best he could, kept to a promise he'd made to Sherry that he'd spend less time in the office and more time on the water. But it hadn't been an entirely clean break. Earlier in the summer, he'd picked up the 19th case of his career, a complicated one involving a Louisiana family, one that centers on domestic and sexual assault. In July Wilson had flown to Baton Rouge for his first series of visits with the offender and victims. He was planning a second trip for September, and Wilson's mind occasionally advanced to that next round of sessions.
"Once I'm on the boat, everything's fine," Wilson said. "But sometimes I have to be dragged down there."
This morning, though, Wilson's focus was on his 22-foot Chris-Craft Cutlass, a sleek 43-year-old powerboat that he'd bought two years ago and had had completely renovated by his friend Brion Rieff, a local boatbuilder. They'd refinished the teak trim, built a new fiberglass cabin, and installed a bigger engine. Yet, during its official launch the week before, Wilson had discovered some issues with the engine, and now he needed to get the boat, which was anchored a few hundred yards offshore, back to Rieff's shop.
It was a blue-sky morning, the water taking on a dark shade of turquoise. After catching a ride out to the boat, Wilson climbed aboard. "Let's take it out for just a second," he said. He fired up the engine, letting its low rumble settle in over the harbor. "You hear that?" Wilson asked proudly. "She just wants to go. That sound is why I wanted this boat."
Soon we were motoring slowly around the harbor, around the world he'd helped restore. This piece of water, which had been largely empty when he first came to Brooklin, was now a postcard scene of vintage sailboats. Onshore, the WoodenBoat campus was buzzing with action. Students, some of whom had come from as far away as Virginia and Ontario, were cranking along on saws and other power tools in the school's old brick barn, while a troupe of tourists, in the middle of a weeklong sail around Penobscot Bay on a vintage windjammer, were making their way to The WoodenBoat Store for shirts, hats, and gifts. Not far from the water's edge, a group of older watercolor students were working to capture the harbor in shades of greens and blues.

The 2006 American Thoracic Society International Conference, showed that women who slept 5 hours per night were 32% more likely to experience major weight...Read More

T.A.T.-Part 2----OK TO OR
This is my 1st Ride Report, bear with me..will probably make some mistakes, but at my age, I've done plenty before.
We started the T.A.T. last August. I did a Google based blog and it worked out fine, but the ride report will get to a lot more people.
If you'd like to read what we did, and see the pictures, follow this link: http://tat-trip-2010.blogspot.com/20...roduction.html
This link takes you to the Introduction page. One the far right edge, is a list of all the reports, by date. Start at bottom, and just click on each day. Sometimes I've seen it where you can just scroll from day to day, other times, you have to go back and click each day...
Okay, 2011. On Monday August 8, my friend Brooks and I (Doug) loaded the bikes in the truck, and headed towards B-ville,Bartlesville) OK. This is the closest "city" to where we ended last year.
Made it to Econo Lodge in Bartlesville about 5pm on the 9th. The 3rd member of our group,(Rich, a/k/a Columbus) (you'll have to read last years adventure to learn how we named him that), had left home on his bike (2010 Honda XR650L) and would meet us here tonight.
Other bikes: Doug- 2008 KLR 650, Brooks 2003 BMW Dakar 650
We're all running Dunlop D606's on rear, Brooks and I have them on front also, Rich has a Metzler Unicross.
I attached a picture of Rich, getting ready to load up at Econo Lodge. Haven't figured out how to attach more than one photo, so will do next few days ASAP and add more pictures.

Well I tried Picasa, and up loaded 40 pictures, then hit wrong button, thinking I was removing one, and wiped out two hours of work. Will try again tonight. Just have gotten behind due to long days. Will do the narrative now, and up load a lot of pictures ASAP.
Wednesday 8-10-11, day of departure.
Most of the night, we were aware of thunder and lightning all around us. Rain was heavy at times. At 6AM, we decided to sit tight for a few hours to let the storm system pass through. Having a netbook along is a nice luxury, having Weatherbug or similar site to watch live radar is even better.
By 11AM, it had cleared around Bartlesville, and we only had to dodge one small system between us and our destination, Alva, OK.
We had unloaded the bikes the night before, now we loaded them up, drove across the street to top up tanks, and head out.
We drove North on 75 about 6 miles, and picked up the East-West path of the TAT. The roads now were gravel, and fairly hard packed. There were a few spots where vehicles had made decent sized ruts in the softer sections, but we were doing okay.
We passed a beautiful wildlife preserve, noticing all the birds out enjoying the freshly fallen rain puddles. The cranes were all fishing in the ponds. Mother Nature was happy.
We started to notice the gravel roadbed was now softer. The top appeared to be just fine gravel, but immediately underneath was a layer of red mud/clay. We learned rather quickly to stay away from the shoulders that looked hard and dry and ride in the vehicle tracks that had been recently made. The heavier vehicles had squished the mud out and left a more solid base, although it was wet and made for mud spray that would escape the protection of the front fender, and blow back on your boots, legs, and front area of bike.
We were now on a much higher section of ground, like a small mesa, and passing a large Prairie Grass area. We had some light rain off and on the past hour, but the skys once again cleared, and it appeared the worse part of the storm had gone to our North.
With no rain in site to the West, we stopped and took off the rain gear. Rich and I took a few pictures of the plains and our muddy bikes, and we were off again.
The light breeze and sun dried the roads quickly, and they got better and better as we moved Westerly. We were happy campers to be out of that slippery, sticky red clay. I honestly dont think we encountered a single vehicle all afternoon. I started calling this part of Oklahoma the quilt State, as the sections on a map are all the same size, like the pieces of a quilt. Exactly a mile square. Every mile, you have an intersection to pass through. Most have no Stop or Yield sign, just slow down look both ways (you can usually see ½ mile), and keep going. What does change many times, is the road. One section will be gravel, then maybe a section of dirt, then hard base stone, the back to gravel. On the dirt sections, I started to see the tracks of a single lone motorcycle. It was sporting a rear tire like a D606, so it was easy to identify. No doubt he was on the TAT, as he made every turn on the route sheet. Then all of a sudden, I saw two tracks. One on each side of the road. Who was the mystery rider, and why did he just catch up to number one? Well we soon found out. We came to a sudden stop, facing a Bridge Closed sign. The single riders tracks turned around, and went back to the last intersection, just like we were about to do. The jog around was easy, especially with a GPS, and we kept moving.
We rolled into Alva about 7:30PM, due to the delayed rain start.
We had ridden 221 miles for the day, and bikes and us were mud covered, so a quick trip to car wash was in order, after check-in.
Before leaving Bartlesville, I had called the motel listed on the map, but they were full except one room, which could not accommodate the three of us. Owner recommended another place nearby. I called the Ranger Inn, and booked us a large room.. so we pull into the Ranger Inn, BIG sign out front has three lines below name, 1st says Luxury rooms, then Jesus is Lord, last, Wi-Fi . Now the people were very nice, but I do have problems with misleading or false advertising. The 1st was nonexistent, the last re: Wi-Fi, yes they had it, but signal was so week, I couldnt get on in the evening. In the morning, I did connect. No coffee in the rooms, so I walked over to office, no coffee or breakfast either. We ventured across the street to a new Bistro, and had a good breakfast..
Plenty of small motels in Alva, so call around if you cant get into Western Motel (listed on TAT map).

OK..finally got a bunch of photos uploaded. Just follow this link to Picasa and click on TAT 2011. I've tried to put a caption under each. I attempted to have album save pictures in order taken, but of course it didn't. I'll be adding to the album real soon.
added 8-25-11: I've had tons of problems with Picasa (above link). Have opened a photo-bucket album, and have gotten 105 photos up loaded so far. Haven't had time to caption yet. Here is the link to photo-bucket:http://s1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd454/Doug329/

Day 4 Trinidad to Salida, CO
We left Trinidad about 0820AM...Sam warns on map, start early (7am), long day. Remember, Sam is always right.
We get about 10 miles, and decide to check Brooks rear tire, which was fine at motel before leaving. Not good, nail we thought was all out, has now emerged it's ugly head. Apparently some was still in tire. Brooks pulls remaining 1/2 inch out. Slime immediately appears, but appears to seal hole. Top up air, and decide to ride 5 more miles and recheck.
Recheck, very soft, nail has apparently enlarged hole in tube. Time to change. We find a nice shade tree to work under. Takes just about an hour to change, clean-up, and be ready to roll again.
We start climbing elevation. Good gravel roads, good average speeds (40-45mph), making good time. Lots of cattle guards, open range areas. Many cows, the western road hazard. Slow down, go slow. Most will wander away from road shoulder, a few will stand ground, and may enter road as you approach. If the "cow" has horns, sometimes called Bull..be careful, they may charge..use caution.
Road changes from gravel to almost bedrock base in parts. Dry but HARD riding surface. Beautiful rock formations. We're in 7k foot elevation areas, Aspen trees, pines, cedar. The smells are wonderful.
Get into some moderate technical areas, uphill, narrow one lane, rocky road. Slow, but steady going. Mid afternoon cloud passing overhead. This is a daily thing in CO. Starting to mist heavy, put on rain jackets.
Road is now reddish clay/gravel...wet, no dust. A little slippery. Again, another area of San Isabel National Forest. Starting to see some signs of camp sites (it's Saturday, the weekend). We also encounter some on-coming traffic today. First rule in mountain...KEEP RIGHT. You never know what's around the blind curve. Murphy's Law, approaching vehicle will be around next blind bend.
We start a slow, maybe 10 mile down grade, with many switchback turns. Road is wet, and now full of washboard effects. Maybe 5 miles into section, I don't see Rich's headlight after last couple of bends...I pull over to wait for him to catch up. 20 seconds, no Rich, I turn back, meet him in 1/4 mile. He explains back end slid out on one of the curves. No major damage. Good riding gear saved his hide, side cases and barkbusters saved the bike...just some scratches and slight spring in cases, mounting rack.
We continue to hard road. This takes us to next dirt section of TAT. Rain was brief, and stopped now, but time is getting late. We vote to cheat a little and head directly to Salida via super slabs so we get in at reasonable time.
We check into Super 8 at 630PM...all very tired and sore. 238 miles, and we skipped last section. Super 8 has a pool, and three hot tubs. Boy do they do wonders for us. Lucky when I called this AM, they gave us their last "family room", three queen sized beds. Place is not new, but well maintained. Staff is super nice. They have laundry which we use. Pool and hot tubes we use. Decent breakfast. Price is more than fair considering this is a big tourist area, and summer. We like it so much, we're going to stay Sat night, then explore on Sunday, (take a rest day??), then continue to Ouray, CO on Monday.

Day 5- Salida CO area
First I have to insert the "proper" link for the photo album: https://picasaweb.google.com/117572939815158661085/TAT2011?authuser=0&feat=directlink
Now, on with the story.
We had cut off the TAT yesterday, so we could make it to motel at decent hour. Now, it was time to back track to Cotopoxi and pick up TAT where we left off.
First few miles were paved, and I'm thinking maybe this isn't best way to wear my tires (much prefer dirt)..but after a few more miles, changed to dirt/gravel. This road meandered through one scenic valley after another as we slowly kept gaining in elevation. The lush green fields supported cattle and a few horses. Many small ranches along the way. Saw the usual small ground squirrels, a small mule deer, 3 small prong horns. When you're leading the pack, you see the most wild game.
As we got to the higher elevations, the road now hugged the side of the mountains. The road is cut into the slope, and follows the contour of the mountain, kind of connecting one with the next. Lots of great photo opts. Road was good all the way, with only a few minor tech spots from washouts, where you needed to stand on the pegs to maintain good control.
We eventually came down the mountain in a long series of switch backs. I'll try to post one picture on this page of a sign, on the way down. I got a chuckle out of it. We had been coming down grade for maybe five miles, no special signs. Then this one...No kidding, do we have a choice? No guard rails, and a sheer drop off if we don't "obey" the sign..like I said, "do we have a choice?"
So we get back to motel (The great Super 8), about 12:45pm. Time for a snack and short rest before afternoon adventure.
About 3pm, we figure we best get moving again (this is a rest day?). Our destination is Hancock Pass. We have read all the ride reports this season, seen the pictures, and know Sam has removed this pass from the TAT, but what the heck, we have to find out for ourselves.
We travel paved roads for a while, then enter the National Forest area, and the road changes to hard dirt,gravel. Another five miles, and it starts to narrow. Now maybe a lane and a half wide, but easy riding. Past a few old gold/silver mines (pictures will be updated to album tonight), and another turn (just follow the signs for Hancock Pass), onto a single lane trail. Get to kind of a trail head, and the last little sign pointing left "Hancock Pass". This is where the FUN begins. Nothing but pure rocks. Medium size, and not glued into the base with clay. Most are loose. We go in about 300 feet, and there is a 120 degree, uphill turn to the right. Looks serious, so we send Rick (a/k/a Columbus) ahead to check it out. Age has it's privileges, send the kid out first.
A short time later, he returns and reports that this part appears to be the worst. So off we go. Oh, forgot to mention. Before starting up, four ATV and UTV riders come down, I ask lead guy how it is. He says rough, but passable. Not much help. They had just been crawling slowly over the rocks as they came down. Didn't look very easy for them, and they had four wheels.
So caution to the wind, we start up. This is all 100% peg time. Slow, steady uphill grind. Searching every inch of the way for the proper line. More ATV's and UTV's coming down. Just barely enough room to pass, as you don't want to stop going uphill, and besides, there isn't a good place to stop in this area.
Another third of a mile, and we see a safe place to pull off and allow another bunch of 4 wheelers come down. Lead guy stops to talk. I ask again, re conditions. "Rough, but we made it over the top". Again, not much help.
Rich and I continue, but Brooks got into a spot he couldn't get a good restart from. Finally gets moving, picks a line, turns hard, and engine quits, which means if you're on pegs, it kind of throws you towards the front, and off balance, then you fall over like Arte Johnson on the tricycle on "Laugh-In". A short time later, Rich had the same experience. Picking up these 650's on these rocks is not fun. Basically, we had had enough fun and thought best to not hurt ourselves or our bikes, so we got turned around, and headed back down. "Mr Garmin" showed we had gotten to within .5 mile of the summit.
Our hats off to all those who have made it over the top, it's not easy. Of course a nice light 250cc or a trials bike would put the fun back in the challenge....another time.
We made it back, tired and sore..and headed for the hot tubs.

Subscribed! Looks like you are having fun. Too bad you didn't get over Hancock pass, you were SO close!
Great album, if you want to get some of them to show up in your posts, copy the URL for a photo from your album, then select the little yellow "picture" icon above the text box when you are posting (looks like a mountain and sun), then paste the URL into that popup.

Day 6 Salida CO to Ouray, CO
Monday 8/15/11, another beautiful day.Clear and cool at 8:00 AM (65 degrees). Quick breakfast, and prepare to leave at 9AM. As we prepare to leave the motel. Brooks is doing a last minute prep check on the Dakar, lights, turn-signals, lock to lock with steering to check for "kinks", etc. He turns to left, and engine stops. Re-starts, moves bars again left, engine stops again. Obviously an electrical short in a main wire to ignition.
It's off with side panels, and the investigation starts. In about 20 minutes it's tracked to bundle coming from main ignition switch. After removing the wrappings, a red wire is found, totally broken. The ends were touching allowing contact, and ignition, but turning hard left, and it separates ever so little, but enough to stop motor. Luckily, there is just enough slack to splice the wire together, (saves running to auto parts store for new wire). This is also a good time to modify the factory attachment area for the wire harness, so more slack is available, to prevent this for happening again. Total time, one hour, and we're ready to roll.
In hindsight, it is this stopped engine that most likely made Brooks flop yesterday, when he turned left hard, going over and around the rocks.
Picked up TAT a few miles outside of Salida. Roads were good. Nice gravel, good running. Ran pretty much in the valleys, past ranches. Shortly after turning onto a narrow 2 track road, I noticed a sign marking an original stage coach route. I turned around and went back to learn more. Sign described crossing there of original stage line. A look to right revealed the original path going up slight grade and out of sight. Additional signage said trail was open to motorcycles and ATV's, but to stay on path etc. Would have loved to explore that a little, but just not time today.
Gas/food stop was in Sargents, CO, at Tomichi Creek Trading Post. Restaurant and fuel available. We decided we didn't need fuel, but got something to drink, and sat outside in the shade. Four guys approached us, and started looking over bikes and asking questions. Seems they were from Texas, and hauled bikes up to this area, just to ride, and get away from the heat. They had parked on other side, and we hadn't seen their bikes when we pulled in. We talked for a while, and looked over their bikes; 2001 KLR, 1989 Honda Trans Alps, 2010 Suzuki DR400, and 2002 Honda XR650L. Quick group photo, and we all left within a few minutes.
Continued on TAT, and soon found us heading up and over Cinnamon Pass. I'd guess last 8 miles we were on "pegs" most of the time. Lots of rocks, good grade, intense concentration on proper "lines". Quite a few 4 w/drives, ATV's, and UTV's. Many major sharp switchbacks, all upgrade.
As I was about to round one, I looked up hill, checking for traffic coming down, picked what I thought was a good line, and started to roll on throttle. On pegs, going around corner, upgrade, rear tire hit some major loose gravel, and immediately spun out, dropping me and bike like I had hit a patch of ice. Engine guards and barkbusters did their job. No damage, no injuries. Rich pulled up behind me, and we set her up. Just then a Deputy comes down grade, stops to check on us, and talks for a brief time. He answers our questions about Engineers Pass, which is a leg off this route.
Traffic coming up grade, so time to move out. No further problems as we reach top and stop to rest. We do the required photo opt, read the signs, and start downgrade. Another 6 or 8 miles and we come to an abandoned mining town. We all stop to rest and take some pictures. Really a lot of history here, great scenery, and information. Do to late start this AM because of the electrical problem,we decide not to go over California Pass,(next on this route), but to turn left and go down to Silverton, and pick up Rte 550 there. We took 550 North to Ouray, going over Red Mountain Pass (11,018 feet). Easy ride, as it's all pavement. Great "S" bends and curves down to 7700 foot level, and town of Ouray.
We had reservation at Best Western. Many good places in Ouray, but 1st 5 I called were booked for tonight and tomorrow night. Best Western gave us an off site (3 blocks away) condo with 2 bedrooms, and a loft with Queen, and separate bath, for less than what others wanted for 2 rooms with queen beds.
Quick clean up, a couple of cocktails, and we were off for Main Street (one block, uphill) and a little window shopping as we looked for a dinner place. It was 9PM already, and most stop serving at 9PM, except O'Brien' s Pub. We took an outside table and had a great dinner. Bowl of Irish beef stew, small salad, all of $7.50. Great service, neat place.
Back to condo, and in bed by 10:30PM, all three of us pretty well whipped. I can't remember sitting and standing (on pegs) so many times, since the last Italian wedding I attended.

Day 7 Ouray area-2nd day
This will be our 2nd day in Ouray. At 0630AM, it was 51 degrees, and a clear mid 70's day is predicted.
We did a few housekeeping chores, PM on the bikes, and about 0930AM, walked the two blocks up to the main hotel complex. Our goal was breakfast. We found a separate building, set up like a small restaurant, just for guests. (this sure beats camping at our age). There was a Chief at the omelet table, ready to make anything you wanted. Next table had everything from scrambles eggs, sausage, bread, bagels, juices, cereals, yogurt, fruit, coffee waiting. The big rush of diners had passed, so we had a leisurely breakfast. Big Rich made three trips for "refills"...just bound to get his money's worth,...which he did.
About 11AM, we gas up (now 81 degrees), and start over the "back-road" between Ouray and Telluride. This takes you across Imogene Pass. "Mr Garmin" shows a total one way distance of about 16 miles. Local Jeep guy says a good 4 hour trip one way.
The first 8 or 9 miles were pretty easy, usual uphill grade, narrow gravel road. About 2 miles up, I see a red Humvee on right shoulder, 4 passengers looking up the side hill. I start to pass, and tap the horn so driver knows. By this time all on-board were pointing cameras up hill. I looked that way to see what they were looking at..it was a small brown bear. First one I've seen out here.
About mile 9, it gets tougher. Bigger rocks (some as big as VW's), a stream bed you ride for 200 feet before climbing out, roadbed is not gravel anymore, but hard base with rocks protruding up through the surface. Even evidence of metal rings being set in rock cracks that Jeeps can hook winch cable to, to pull them up over rock(s). If you could get a good line on flattest, smoothest side, we'd use it. Sometimes there was a line around the side of the rock. Probably a mile from top (Pass), we came across a BIG rock, Rich was in front, and took a line head-on, putting power to Honda just before his front tire hit rock...he shot up side, to flatter sloped area, and made it to flatter spot maybe 200 feet above rock...I on the other hand, have to ride a little faster than Honda, due to gearing, and couldn't get speed up before Rich went up rock, so I chose a line around right side. All was good till my rear tire hit smooth part (still a 20 plus degree uphill), and 606 lost traction. I could hear the tire spin, and smell the rubber burning, but my forward motion slowed quickly. Due to angle, front brake would not hold bike, and I slid backwards, maybe 25 feet before flopping over. Rich couldn't even see me, but had been waiting above for me. When he didn't see, or hear, me, he walked back down. With his help (again), the beast was raised, and we stood there resting. While we were there, a Jeep with three guys, comes down grade, (very slowly). Gets down rock, then stops to see if we're ok. I ask how the rest to Pass is, Their reply, "it gets rougher". We say Thanks, and they are off. A Jeep going up stops, same questions, same answers. One passenger says they wouldn't recommend going any further. We thanks them, and they continue. We get the bike headed down hill, and Rich walks back up to get his. We have now decided not worth hurting ourselves or bikes. We have too many miles left to travel.
Now we're ready to head back way we came, and a solo biker is coming down grade. He stops. he looks pretty old. We talk. I'll call him biker Jack (we didn't get his name). We learn he has a full time home in Santa Fe, NM, and a cabin near Ouray, where he and his wife spend two months each summer. He's been riding these passes for years, and gives us a lot of good information on ones we've crossed, and attempted to cross. I look at his bike, and older Honda, early 90's, XR500. It has a close ratio gearbox, and a rear sprocket I'd guess at between 55 and 60 teeth. Now this is a bike designed for this type of riding. Either that or a good trials bike would be perfect.
We bid farewell, as he pulls away, heading back to camp to check on his wife who he left behind "to stack firewood".
We hadn't seen Brooks since shortly after we started, but find him at the condo when we get back, about 2PM. Turns out, he missed a turn to Telluride, off main trail, and when he discovered it, came back finding it, but looked at what we had already gotten into, and got smarter faster, and didn't follow our paths.
The pictures will give you a decent idea of what we got into, but they never seem to convey the true grade of the trail. Always much steeper than it looks in a picture.
About 4PM, we're rested, and decide to venture back up to Main Street for some window shopping, and find a place for dinner. We eventually seek refuge form the daily afternoon passing black cloud, in a business named Ouray Brewery. Lucky us.
A fairly new business, we settle in at the bar. One side of the bar is equipped with swing seats. Rich immediately selects one. We however chose an old fashioned bar stool. We have a couple of beers (local), and then order from the menu. Brooks and I have the Trout on rice. It was delicious. Prices are reasonable. After dinner, we head across the street to the homemade chocolate and coffee store. Ice cream and coffee top off a great evening. Back at the condo, we do some emails, reading, and call lights out by 10PM..another tiring but good day.

More pictures please! If you guyr tried Imogene pass from ouray then you took the hard way but once you get to the top the view is worth it all. The other side is a cake walk in comparison. You shouldn't have listened to the folk in the cages, as it is very doable on you current rides. Maybe next time?
Keep the report coming.
Hey Dickasaurus....Maybe we'll see you around Silverton when we get up there!

The Religion News Service blog reports:
The Church of God in Christ has long held its annual Holy Convocation in Memphis, Tenn. How long? More than 100 years.
But come 2010, the historically black Pentecostal denomination will hold its meeting in St. Louis.
"Memphis is our home,'' said COGIC Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake in a statement. "We love this city, but we have been offered a better package that is more cost-effective for the membership of our church.''
The denomination cited several factors, including discounted hotel rates and the ability to hold convocation activities in one facility instead of several buildings.
The Tennessee city stands to lose $35 million in revenue when the convocation—which draws some 50,000 people—leaves town.
More from the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. Before John Calipari left town, I would have headed to St. Louis too. He's gone now, but I guess that doesn't change the country's economic situation. Unfortunately for Memphis, though, it is going to make things a lot worse.

About Us
Established in 1996, Red River Tea Company was the brainchild of Jeff Farris. Having worked in the convenience store channel for a number of years, Jeff, an avid fan of fresh brewed tea and felt he just couldn't find good iced tea in a c-store. Thus, Jeff began developing a plan.
He immediately recruited the partnership of Rick Scheer, a fellow University of Oklahoma grad, and the two entrepreneurs were on their way to revolutionizing the tea business. By recognizing the need for quality fresh brewed teas in convenience stores, Red River Tea Company set out to brew the very best.
With their understanding of industry dynamics, Red River developed and patented a unique "one cup at a time" fresh brewed tea system called the T-100, and thus the Teazzers brand was born. With the Teazzers® T-100, Red River Tea/Teazzers could deliver the very freshest brewed tea possible, one cup at a time.
Today, with the T-100 as a foundation of quality, the Teazzers brand has grown to be the total tea solutions provider offering a comprehensive offering of platforms for tea and tea-based products. From the original T-100 "one cup at a time" platform, to fresh brewed in the traditional urn, to concentrated tea dispensed from an urn, to concentrate from the soda fountain, Red River Tea Company offers every conceivable solution. All designed for c-stores and their profit needs.
Beyond addressing the iced tea boom, Teazzers also offers a hot tea solution, Chai tea and a frozen tea-based beverage Teazzers Freezzers.
In fifteen years, Red River Tea Company has positioned the Teazzers brand as the leading provider in truly fresh tea, the most important component to profitability and customer satisfaction. Teazzers has a market presence in 38 states. With this success as a foundation, Red River is poised to expand its reach and penetration to and throughout all fifty states by fulfilling a key consumer need by providing Fresh Tea solutions to convenience stores and food service establishments. This segment as historically struggled to provide a quality product for a category which is consumed daily by over half of the U.S population. As a result, tea programs in C-stores have not come close to the profit potential of the category. Teazzers is succeeding in it's goal to remedy this issue for both C-store owners and customers.

As of Wednesday, June 3, 2015
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
JONESBORO — Defense attorney Drew Findling told jurors Wednesday that what Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill is accused of doing is no big deal, sarcastically comparing him to Mafia godfathers in an attempt to downplay the state's case.
"This is a not guilty verdict in 32 seconds," he said. "Go in there, select a foreperson, come back out in 32 seconds. What a waste of your time, income, sacrifices to your family, but we've got ya so you gotta get work done."
Hill stands accused of 27 felonies, mostly theft by taking, and faces years in prison if convicted. If convicted of one felony, he is ineligible to hold office. Prosecutors charge that Hill illegally used county vehicles, credit card, fuel and employees for his personal gain.
The defense team never disputed that Hill took the cars on out of town trips with female companions or that he used county gas to fuel those trips. Their argument remained constant throughout the trial — Hill was entitled to do what he did because he was sheriff.
Findling said the "true racketeer" was former Sheriff Kem Kimbrough, who beat Hill in the 2008 sheriff's race but lost to him last year. Hill was Clayton County's first black sheriff, Kimbrough was the second.
Findling referred to the investigators who put together the case against Hill as a "sea of whiteness," and made several references to an ankle monitor as being "shackles" before comparing what some witnesses endured to 1800s slavery. He accused special prosecutor Layla Zon of questioning witness Beatrice Powell's "womanhood" and berated the state for exposing Powell's health issues.
"Because of this condition, she is no longer able to have children," said Findling.
Powell took several vacations with Hill while she was supposed to be working, said Zon. Hill called in to the sheriff's office from the road to say Powell was on paid administrative leave so she could continue to draw a paycheck, prosecutors allege. Powell testifed that she suffered from fibroid tumors and was in extreme pain for two years before undergoing corrective surgery in November 2008.
Findling also ridiculed the state for not getting state or federal agencies involved in the Hill investigation. He picked up his cell phone and pretended to make a call.
"Yes, GBI? We need some help in investigating the sheriff," said Findling. "Did they do that? No way, baby. They were using the criminal justice system to investigate the sheriff. Who else can you call? The U.S. Justice Department? The FBI, if you think John Gotti over here, Whitey Bulger over here, John Grisham's 'The Racketeer' over here taking some gas."
Findling said the motive behind Hill's prosecution had its beginning in January 2005 when Hill fired 27 deputies on his first day in office.
"He came in here and made some changes and pissed some people off," he said.
Findling also said Kimbrough was upset when Hill announced his candidacy in early 2011.
"He decides to make himself relevant again," said Findling. "You made a boo-boo, sir. We're going to take you down, sir, using this system to bully people for less than $1,000 in gas and other things."
Findling told jurors that Kimbrough spent about $400,000 to have 11 investigators follow Hill for 48 weeks leading up to his being indicted in January 2012.
Findling drove home his assertion that Hill did nothing wrong by walking over to him, putting his arm around his shoulder and holding up the badge Hill wears around his neck.
"He was entitled to use the cars, he was entitled to go away, he was using a county car he was entitled to use and using gas he's entitled to use," he said.
Zon was not as forgiving during her closing argument.
"The defense says no one was hurt and that's hard to quantify," she said. "It's not a massive million dollar theft but this is about our whole system. It means something, just like that badge means something. We stand for something in this system. I hope you don't think this is a waste of your time and that you send a message. Do the right thing and you'll sleep well at night."
Zon turned the defense arguments around on Hill.
"Maybe he went to one of your neighborhoods, maybe he kicked a drug dealer out, that doesn't matter," she said. "It doesn't matter if he did that, that's not the issue. We're trying the case on whether he took the money that belonged to the county."
She also reminded jurors that Hill forced witness Naomi Nash to take an Apple MacBook from her 16-year-old daughter and return it for money that was refunded to Hill. Hill had paid Nash $15,000 from campaign donations for work she did as his campaign manager but within two weeks, the money was funneled out of her bank account into Hill's hands, said Zon.
One example of that involved Nash's birthday gift to her teenage daughter.
"He made her go to her daughter's house to get that laptop back from her," said Zon. "For any woman to break her daughter's heart on her 16th birthday because Hill gets mad at her? Nice guy."
Nash used part of what she believed to be her salary to buy the $1,949 laptop plus accessories and two-year warranty, she testified. When Hill made her return the items, she kept about $160 in refunds for the accessories and warranty but Best Buy mailed the $1,949 refund check for the laptop to Hill.
By Hill's own actions, said Zon, his intent was to filter the campaign money from Nash for his personal use. Witnesses also testified to $7,000 in campaign donations that Hill took and filtered into the accounts of two corporations only he could access.
"This is a paper trail case," she said. "This is evidence that can't be contradicted. He added an extra layer of security, to launder it, funnel it, laundering money through his account. He's not charged with this but this is evidence that shows Hill's intent. He wanted to get by and make a living by anyone and any means he can, suck on other people like a leech. Naomi Nash, he uses and abuses on these trips, makes her return her daughter's computer."
Zon also slammed Findling's position that Hill allegedly violating his oath of office is no big deal.
"It's a joke, right?" said Zon. "Should it be taken seriously? He didn't do what he said he was gonna do. That's not just breaking a promise, it's breaking the law. He took above and beyond his salary from this county."
Jurors were expected to begin deliberating the 27 felonies Wednesday afternoon. It is unclear what will happen if Hill is convicted. Under the law, he becomes ineligible to hold office and an interim sheriff would have to be appointed.
It is also unknown if he would be taken immediately into custody, be sentenced right away or if sentencing would be delayed. Hill's attorneys could ask that he be allowed to remain out on bond. If Judge Albert Collier denies that request, it is not expected that Hill would be held in the Clayton County Jail awaiting sentencing.
Hill is also expected to appeal any conviction and could have the right to demand a new trial.

...This is what I have been waiting for; The Flimflam Snake Oil Salesmen Pitch :
Quote :(("Findling referred to the investigators who put together the case against Hill as a "sea of whiteness," and made several references to an ankle monitor as being "shackles" before comparing what some witnesses endured to 1800s slavery"))
.....Most intelligent African Americans would extremely offended by this, while sitting on a jury :. "sea of whiteness" 'shackles". This is tacky, using cheap shots, and distasteful to members of the jury; This has no place on a court of law...or any other courtroom. . .

.....I read on another News site, that The Jury went home without reaching a Verdict today.
.....Maybe they wanted another day from work, another day of pay, maybe they are in disagreement.

......Maybe Victor would another first, as our Sheriff, to be an inmate in his own jail.
MD 1 year, 10 months ago
let me translate the defenses statement tio the jury. What he was saying is:
Lets show those white honky investigators, and prosecutors, that we are going to stick with our bro, even if he is guilty. You don't even need to go into deliberations. Give bro King Hill an innocent verdict within 32 seconds. That will put them in there place!

When Kate Middleton decided to apply a thick kohl eyeliner on her wedding day, the beauty and fashion world were aghast with some claiming that the dramatic eye look was "old fashioned".
However, we tend to disagree and it's clear that Kate took her inspiration from some of the hottest stars who have been showing off this dramatic eye make-up since the beginning of this year.
Ginnifer Goodwin and Katy Perry took this look to the next level applying colourful tones for their looks, while others such as Jennifer Lopez and Scarlett Johansson played it a little bit more subtle with smoky eyes in nude shades.
And let's not forget the magical Emma Watson who only last week showed off a heavy smoky eye complete with undertones of glitter.
