Having downloaded the service manual, there is no drain plug, you did the right thing. Cheers.
Here's the link: http://www.mymatiz.com/manual

Same thing happened to my wife's car.
It cost me £16 for the gasket set, and 2 and a half hours of my time to do. £350 is a bit steep.
13th Nov 2011, 14:21
Hi, my Daewoo Matiz does the same thing; cuts out. It's been in the garage twice now to have a CV joint fixed. Full exhaust plus cat converter. Did you get yours fixed, and what was wrong with it?
13th Nov 2011, 14:43
I bought my Daewoo Matiz 4 weeks ago. Within 48 hours I had the tracking done. A week later CV joint done. Then full exhaust, plus cat converter. And last night, the battery come up on the dash. Then the lights dimmed, then the car stopped. Now this morning nothing. My neighbour gave me a jump start that lasted 3 minute, then it went dead, and then I noticed water leaking from underneath. Help!!!
16th Feb 2012, 12:54
I have a 1999 Matiz, and I bought this in 2008 2nd hand.
The body of the car was bad, but the engine was very good. I just changed the oil, oil filter and air filter. Later I changed the battery. But soon after battery replacement, the car went dead. Thought that it was because of bad battery, but it was because of charger dynamo/rectifier. I had replaced the rectifier in the dynamo, and now for 4 years this car has been good.
At first I was only getting 13.5 per liter (driving conditions - I drive at an average of 80-90 KMPH, with a top speed of 150 on the outer ring road), but recently I have done a complete painting and tinkering, and it looks like a new car. Spent Rs.40,000 and replaced the spark plug and plug wires, and the distributor cap (which has the carbon tip). And now it's giving me 15 KMPL with the A/C on in city drives.
I have recently bought another Matiz (special series) 2001 model with power steering and power windows for my dad. This has got the same choking while I drive at more than 60 KMPH. I have dismantled the petrol pump, and found that there was rust in it. And now the choking is little less.
I am going to replace the petrol filter and service the fuel injectors, which will fix the problem. Or else need to check if there are any other timing issues or have the ECM checked (computer check for Rs:500). Will keep you all posted after I fix the issue.
Overall, this is a very good small car compared with other small cars in India. It's strong, spacious and offers good mileage (practical mileage with the A/C on and in city drives).
You need to have interest in technical stuff if you want to own any car. That will help you in maintaining such MPFI engines.
Note: to improve mileage, replace the air filter and check the O2 filter.
3rd Sep 2012, 10:31
Bought a Matiz in Feb. this year. Biggest mistake of my life; nothing but problems. Need it for work as I'm a carer. Thought it would be cheap to run, but now it's started losing water! Haven't got the money to get it looked at as I'm a single parent :(
20th Nov 2012, 06:23
I would say the white smoke coming from the exhaust is actually steam, and that is where your cooling liquid is going, out of the exhaust pipe. This means the head gasket needs to be replaced.
18th Jan 2013, 16:47
Hello there. As silly as this sounds, I have a Matiz, and my daughter has a one too. Her gear box was a total nightmare. We honestly thought the gearbox had gone!! To our surprise, we took it to our friend who is a mechanic; the clutch needed adjusting, which he did, and it's running 100% better.
Regards, Jan.
15th Jan 2014, 15:26
A head gasket for these cars only costs 19 pounds sterling, and is a 2 hour job to replace. I had the head gasket, water pump, tensioner and timing belt replaced for 180 pounds including parts.
28th Jul 2014, 15:04
Hi. The Daewoo Matiz is a nice car to be honest. I drove a 99 model for 9 months, and used to do at least 100 miles a week.
Unfortunately my coolant was empty. I filled it up and the next day it was flashing on my dashboard. I didn't bother, and drove it for 2 days, and also I drove on the M1. There was heavy smoke and my car switched off. I took it to a garage; head gasket had gone, would cost me £500, I bought the car for £500, so no point investing in it. I scrapped it and got £150.
So it's better to scrap your car.
11th Mar 2015, 15:24
I had the same problem with gear change. I suggest adjusting the clutch cable. The cable stretches with age so needs tightening up a bit, so it separates higher up the pedal travel. Easy to access under the front left side.
Avoid forcing the gear stick back into second and fourth as this pushes (not pulls) on the gear-change cable, causing the inner cable to scrunch up. I had to renew the gear-change-cables.
Double-de-clutching also helps.

'Chuck': Is Zachary Levi Our New Jimmy Stewart? Vote!
Today's cuppa: Irish breakfast tea
I've been thinking for a while now that "Chuck" star Zachary Levi may be a Jimmy Stewart for the 21st century -- a tall, lanky actor with the ability to do drama, comedy, action and romance; who has a warm, easygoing style with an underlying intelligence and wit; and who exudes an all-American sense of honor and right and wrong.
Levi is the first young actor I've ever thought this about, and I'm wondering if I'm alone ... so let me know:

What is the most terrible thing that can happen to a food blogger?
Encountered bad service at a restaurant?
No, thats part of the dining experience.
Taste lousy and not up-to-the-mark food?
Nah, thats also part of the dining experience.
Entering the restaurant and the waitress told you the place is full?
Blame it on yourself who did not make any reservations.
The worst thing, that can ever, ever happen to a food blogger . . .
Is having no camera to take shots of the delicacy displayed upon you.
Thunder never strikes at the same spot, indeed. The last time to The French Stall, LIC forgotten to bring his camera along, and that was an awful feeling. LIC didn't expect to encounter the same problem, this time LIC did bring the camera, only to arrive happily at the entrance of the restaurant and found out that there was no battery inside!?!
Tsk tsk! LIC shouldn't taken out the battery to charge and forgot to put it back. A dreadful mistake which must be avoid at all cost next time.
Beware! Warning! The following photos may look awful, terrible, shocking, ghastly, and lousy to you. If you cannot take any of the experience, please DO NOT click on "Read the rest of this entry"
The fatal spot where LIC wanted to take a pot-shot of the entrance and to his horror, discovered that the absence of the battery!
Alas, this post on Kuishin-bo will be short due to obvious reasons, LIC was actually working on Absolute Haven but due to time constraint, this post shall appear before your eyes first. Too many post pending for LIC to write, even OT can't really help : )
The only "slightly more decent" photo, sushi selections
The sushi are all right i guess, nothing to shout about. Quite a wide selections to choose from though.
Prawn Tempura
The tempura section is most probably one of the place where i consume more, with the exception of desserts (which LIC can't live without!) The prawn tempura is your normal fried prawn with tempura-flour, it works for me although i pretty much suspect its only decent in the eyes of Japanese food experts (LIC self-proclaimed he isn't a avid Jap food eater)
Kaminabe paper steamboat
Like what i mention during my visit to Waraku, Kaminabe sounds like a foul-word, it still brings back memories from the last visit, hence the mention. Paper pot, the vegetables, are all there to absorb the otherwise oily chicken and soup. Thinking back now, Beef should have been a better option for Kaminabe.
Desserts – Fruit Tarts
Fruit tarts are LIC favorite! I can pop ten easily into my mouth. The tarts here are pretty standard i guess, but still give them to me!
There are also some miniature cakes around, chocolate ones, mini oreo cheesecakes (really tiny), mini doughnuts in different flavors, quite a variety available.
The chocolate fondue craze might have die down already, but that does not means they are not good. Its just that people forgets easily, before long another new craze will appear and the common folks will start to go after the new hype. Think donut, bubble-tea, luo-han fish, chocolate fondue, well just to name a few.
Total Bill for 2 person during weekday lunch comes up to $46.61 after tax and service charge. Weekday lunch is $24.80++ for adult, and if you Op for the 60 minutes express lunch, it is $19.80+, which we did. I guess the 60 minutes strategy is more to attract office working people, but we took it since we are really full after an hour anyway.
Actually the difference in price is only 5 bucks, if you go for the normal price, you got the luxury to enjoy the buffet from 1130am-3pm, which big-appetite eaters should go for. Otherwise if you are working near Suntec, or like us where you can finish the meal in an hour, the discount of $5 although not much, is still rather substantial.
To be honest, the one hour buffet is rather rushed, and if you are the type that refuse to rush while tasting your food, it is not advisable to take it. But if you know what you are looking for, well just attack those areas and your effort will be paid off for the $19.80.
Kuishi-bo proclaimed itself to be the Authenthic Japanese Buffet Restaurant, which i highly doubted it. Authentic hardly feeds into what they are offering. Nevertheless i believe one sentence should sums it all for Kuishi-bo. Quantity, not quality!
Taste is subjective, if you are not looking for very excellent food, i say the ones at Kuishi-bo are quite decent, and definitely value-for-money since its only $19.80. But if you are into Japanese food, i'm afraid the visit will disappoint you greatly. Nonetheless, comparing Kuishi-bo to Sakura International Buffet, and Sakae Sushi Buffet, i still say Kuishi-bo slightly edged out both the latter.
Many acquaintance mentioned that Kuishi-bo's standard has vastly dropped from last time, a pale shadow of what it used to be. Well, sometimes you have to experience it for yourself to conclude. I did, which is the reason for my visit to Kuishi-bo. Thus, Yay or Nah, make a trip down.

Gotcha. Was it verified that it was not in fact protected (i.e., they
were using, say, Basic authentication instead of Digest
authentication)? Not that I expect that it was - I don't think I've
come across any sites that used anything other than Basic
authentication, for some reason. Perhaps because it would only be
supported by HTTP/1.1 compliant browsers�... but you could at least
detect compliance and fallback to Basic with a warning message (yeah,
�Digest authentication is not actually part of HTTP/1.1, but along
with Basic is an extension to that protocol; HTTP/1.1 is RFC2616, and
the authentication methods are RFC2617.

New Seattle Oven
Just broke ground for my WFO yesterday. Getting ready to pour concrete this morning. I really appreciate all the photos and posts from people on the site. I'm an absolute neophyte when it comes to constructing anything more than a pinewood derby car (and that was 20 years ago). With the support and help from some friends, I was convinced to give oven building a go and I can't wait to move on to the stand, hearth, dome, etc. It's all very exciting. And there's something satisfactory about walking into Home Depot and saying "I'd like twenty-seven 80# bags of concrete." :D
I'll post photos of the progress in the hopes that it will help others make the jump off the fence.
Re: New Seattle Oven
Good luck with your build. There are a couple of us in the Seattle area who are just completing our ovens. Let me know if you have any questions or need to locate materials.
Re: New Seattle Oven
Thanks, JR. I found that Pacific Topsoils was a great place to purchase my pea gravel for the foundation. They charge about $45 for a cubic yard, and pro-rate it for lesser amounts. Much better than the $3.35 per 1/2 cubic foot at Lowes. The foundation pour went pretty smoothly, and now I'm on to laying out my stand. Is there a particular place that's better than the others for the blocks?
Re: New Seattle Oven
I purchase my block at Home Depot. Lowes should price out about the same. They are relatively inexpensive. When you get ready to lay your oven floor I have a bag of fire clay for you. I purchase too much and was cleaning out my garage this weekend and trying to figure out the best way to dump it. I hope you are taking pictures and goint to post them.
Re: New Seattle Oven
2 Attachment(s)
Yeah, we've been taking photos (so far, only with an iPhone as my camera was out of batteries), and will post them as soon as my friend e-mails them to me. Fresh batteries are in the camera and I'll take a photo of the foundation and post it either tonight or tomorrow. You'll see two big hand prints in the center of the foundation. The price I pay for free labor from a friend, I guess. :)
Thanks for the fire clay, JR. That's extremely nice of you. I probably won't be able to come get it until early June, as I'm leaving for vacation on Saturday morning and won't be back until June 2. We can arrange for me to come pick it up any time after that.
Edit: Trying to load photos. First is of the full foundation. The second is of some big hand prints left by my help. I felt I had to let that slide since it was a lot of manual labor for free.
Re: New Seattle Oven
Nice spot for a Pizza Oven. You going to dry-stack the block like most lately or is there a mason within you that's comfortable with mortared joints? Oh, and what size oven are you planning on? Things go pretty quickly on the base once the foundation is poured and dried a few days. It is really exciting venture to build a WFO and we appreciate the pics, even from the iPhone. Take care, Dino
Re: New Seattle Oven
1 Attachment(s)
I'm going to dry-stack. I started looking at different layouts this morning (slowly hauling blocks from Lowes after work every day). The original plan was for a 31" oven, but I built the foundation large enough to change that to a 36" oven if I changed my mind. And I think I'm changing my mind. :D
I'm attaching a photo of me admiring the mesh and rebar before pouring the concrete.
Re: New Seattle Oven
nice going, hope you enjoy it as much i have. (i and my family and friend that is)
Re: New Seattle Oven
We're finishing up the stand today. I figure I can do the prep work for pouring the hearth this coming week, then pour next weekend. I may still be on track for being able to fire it up by the end of the month. I almost have all the employees' names down after all of the little trips I made to HD yesterday. :)
I'll post pictures of the stand construction later.
Thanks again to JR for the fire clay.
Re: New Seattle Oven
Wondering how much the average forno costs to build in Seattle and about how long (in hours)?
Thanks for any info.

UCSD'S Roger Tsien shares Nobel Prize in chemistry
SAN DIEGO – Roger Tsien, a 56-year-old professor of pharmacology at UCSD, won the 2008 Nobel Prize in chemistry early Wednesday for his role in helping develop and expand the use of fluorescent proteins – a widely used and increasingly valuable tool that allows scientists to peer inside living cells or whole animals, watch molecules interact in real-time and ask questions once thought impossible.
He'll share the prize with Osamu Shimomura and Martin Chalfie.
The Nobel Prize in chemistry is one of several being handed out this week by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. It comes with a cash award of roughly $1.4 million, which the researchers will split in equal shares.
Tsien received word of the prize in an early morning phone call. The official ceremony honoring Tsien, Chalfie, Shimomura and the other 2008 Nobel laureates will be held in Stockholm in December.
Shimomura, an 80-year-old Japanese-born organic chemist and professor emeritus at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., first isolated green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the early 1960s from a jellyfish (Aequorea victoria) found off the west coast of North America, discovering that the protein glowed green under ultraviolet light.
In the 1990s, Chalfie, a 61-year-old molecular biologist at Columbia University in New York City, became the first to show GFP's true value "as a luminous genetic tag" in the laboratory, inserting it into study organisms like Escherichia coli bacteria and Caenorhabditis elegans, a small worm.
Tsien was cited by the Nobel committee for contributing "to our general understanding of how GFP fluoresces" and expanding the utility of fluorescent proteins in science.
The committee said the trios work enables "scientists to follow several different biological processes at the same time," from tracking nerve cell damage caused by Alzheimer's disease to how insulin-producing beta-cells are created in the pancreas of a growing embryo.
"In one spectacular experiment, researchers succeeded in tagging different nerve cells in the brain of a mouse with a kaleidoscope of colors," the citation said.

UCSD researcher Roger Y. Tsien talks about sharing the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on green fluorescent protein (GFP) -- and he thanks the jellyfish it came from for its contribution.View the Video
The Nobel is only the latest, albeit most prestigious, prize to recognize Tsien's work, which colleagues say has dramatically expanded and deepened diverse investigations across multiple fields of science.
"He's the smartest person I know," said Mark Ellisman, a longtime collaborator and founding director of the National Center for Microscopic Imaging and Research at UCSD. "He's one of those beautiful minds, not only because he thinks deeply about how to fill gaps in what science knows, but also where to look for new questions. He digs deeply, understands quickly and puts the pieces together in ways that create new tools allowing tens of thousands of other scientists to ask new questions."

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa Don't aim. Just let it rip.
That was Alyssa Olson's pitching strategy Saturday night. It worked beautifully.
Olson struck out 14 batters in a five-inning no-hitter, and 10th-ranked Cedar Rapids Jefferson banged out 12 hits in an 11-0 romp over Cedar Rapids Washington in a Class 5A softball regional semifinal at Larry Niemeyer Field.
"Ninety-five percent of the time, the ball is going to do what it wants to do, so I didn't want to fight it too much," Olson said. "I just let the ball do what it wanted."
The ball apparently wanted to elude the Warriors' bats. There was a ground out, a walk, a hit batsman ... and 14 whiffs.
"We're going to take our cuts, and sometimes the strikeouts can get into your heads," said Washington Coach Fanaye Wooldrik. "If you go up there and you aren't successful, that's going to chip away at your confidence."
Jefferson (30-11) gets its shot at No. 1 Muscatine in the regional final at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The Muskies (37-3) handled Bettendorf, 12-1, Saturday.
Tuesday's winner advances to the state tournament July 22-26 at the Rogers Sports Complex, Fort Dodge.
The J-Hawks lost the coinflip Saturday, and were forced to bat first. They made it work to their advantage, getting on the board before Olson took the mound.
Dani Stromert singled to start the game, then scored on Amber Grimm's triple to put Jefferson ahead to stay.
"Hitting first, it certainly was an advantage tonight," said Jefferson Coach Brian Erbe. "To bat first and score first, that wasn't bad at all."
The J-Hawks' No. 3 hitter, Grimm was 4-for-4, drove in two runs and scored a pair herself.
"I had to do what I needed to do," Grimm said. "Washington has been winning games, so we knew we had to come out and play hard and not look past them."
Jefferson added two runs in the second inning on RBI singles by Katelyn Holub and Stromert, then broke it open with a five-run output in the fourth to make it 8-0.
Maddie Koolbeck's three-run double in the fifth closed out the scoring.
Washington retired at 14-25. The Warriors were outmatched Saturday, but this was a year of progress on the east side of town. Washington won 12 of its final 20 games, and earned more victories this season than the last four years combined.
"We started 2-17, and I started to think maybe this wasn't the year yet," Wooldrik said. "We turned it around, though, and it tasted so good for the kids.
"The next step, we've got to get to .500 and start competing with teams like Jefferson."
Stromert and Holub both were 2-for-2, and Stromert scored twice with two RBIs.

Haha. Damn man. You must be a better man than me because I don't tolerate any teeth at all. That is too sensitive of an area to be messing around like that.
I had one girl do that to me and it caught me off guard so bad I actually pushed her away from me and she hit her head on a wall behind me, haha. She was like I thought you would like it. I was like hell no. That scared the shit out of me. I really thought she was one of them psycho bitches that was trying to bite my dick off because she hates men or something.

Replying to: Re: Fall EV-DO Push? by Rich Brome
Re: Fall EV-DO Push?
Recently I spoke to a guy who was from Korea, and he had the june M250. I got a chance to look at it up close, and I gotta say that i wasn't very impressed. It was fairly bulky and the design was uninspiring. I didn't get to see it when it was powered on, though.

Mikel Arteta has insisted Arsenal are in good shape, despite the loss of Robin van Persie and Alex Song. The Cameroon midfielder followed the Netherlands striker out of the Emirates Stadium this week when he signed a five-year deal with Barcelona in what is understood to be a £15m deal.
Arsenal are expected to bring in some reinforcements ahead of the transfer deadline - a loan move for Turkish international Nuri Sahin is on the agenda if terms with Real Madrid can be agreed, while the club are also said to still be monitoring long-term target Yann M'Vila at Rennes, who are holding out for a £17m fee.
Arteta was appointed vice-captain to new skipper Thomas Vermaelen following Van Persie's £24m switch to Manchester United, who lost 1-0 at Everton last night with the Dutchman starting on the bench. The Spaniard believes the summer additions of Olivier Giroud, Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla, who particularly impressed in midfield on his debut in the goalless draw with Sunderland, mean the Gunners are already well stocked for the battles ahead.
Arteta told Arsenal's official website: "We are looking good. We looked really organised on Saturday, just maybe in the final third we didn't take the chances we should have done. It will take a while because there have been some new players coming in and we are building a new team. We have lost some important players too, so we will need some time.
"We know that our new players can make the difference as well. We will have to give them a chance to settle into a new place."
Arteta linked up well with Cazorla and Abou Diaby, back from an injury lay-off, in a midfield which was without its usual anchor. The 30-year-old added: "I felt really comfortable when I played with Alex last year, he was a terrific player, but if he and the club decided that the best option was for him to leave, we have to accept it. I think we are good enough to carry on without him."
M'Vila set to replace Song?
Rennes director Pierre Dreossi expects M'Vila's future to be resolved one way or another very soon. Speaking to Radio Monte Carlo, he said: "I think that it can be settled by the end of this week or the start of next. But it is complicated because some clubs are not agreed within their clubs about the deal, and there are clubs where Yann does not want to go."
"Arsenal? Maybe, you would have to ask Arsene Wenger, but with Song leaving, it means that Arsenal are going to reinforce that position."
Arshavin, Bendtner and Chamakh futures in doubt
As well as targeting fresh faces, Arsenal are also expected to resolve the futures of several fringe players in the final days of the summer transfer window. Strikers Marouane Chamakh and Nicklas Bendtner are now both surplus to requirements, so are likely to move on, probably outside the Premier League.
Russia captain Andrey Arshavin, meanwhile, featured as a second-half substitute against Sunderland. However, the attacking midfielder continues to be linked with a permanent switch back to former club Zenit, where he had a loan spell last season.

Title: Rational design of amyloid beta-protein aggregation and toxicity inhibitors Non-Technical Title: Rational design of novel drugs for Alzheimer's disease
Duration: April 1, 2008 - March 31, 2010 Award Type: Pilot Award Amount: $100,000
In this project we will use a novel approach that combines our most current understanding of the molecular processes that lead to AD. We do that by "tailoring" sophisticated weapons that target what is believed to be the very first event along the pathway that leads to formation of the toxic molecules that rob AD patients of their memory and personality.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a current major public health threat, which despite tremendous research efforts, to date has no cure. To cure and prevent the disease we must invent drugs that treat the root of the problem. In this project we will use a novel approach that combines our most current understanding of the molecular processes that lead to AD. We do that by "tailoring" sophisticated weapons that target what is believed to be the very first event along the pathway that leads to formation of the toxic molecules that rob AD patients of their memory and personality. Unlike the direction used by most pharmaceutical companies - screening of large, random collections of molecules,our study is the first example of using a rational-design approach that is based on the three-dimensional structure of the toxic protein that causes AD.

Composition can make an interesting subject bland or make an ordinary subject appear beautiful. In this course, photographer and author Ben Long explores the concepts of composition, from basics such as the rule of thirds to more advanced topics such as the way the eye travels through a photo.
The course addresses how the camera differs from the eye and introduces composition fundamentals, such as balance and point of view. Ben also examines the importance of geometry, light, and color in composition, and looks at how composition can be improved with a variety of post-production techniques. Interspersed throughout the course are workshop sessions that capture the creative energy of a group of photography students; shooting assignments and exercises; and analyses of the work of photographers Paul Taggart and Connie Imboden.
Male speaker: The assignment is to capture light and part of the idea of capturing light is you're capturing form as well. So I was just playing with the light coming across the building here, being shadowed by the overhang, making these triangular statements here, the shadow that falls underneath the boards themselves and just trying to look at that in a variety of ways.
Even with all of this going on you've got all these sort of sub-statements going on as well, so I am curious to see how that will translate out into the final images. Ben: Like you, these students have been given the task of going out and trying to shoot light as a subject itself. So they're looking for interesting plays of light. They're looking for scenarios where the light has caught their attention and can hold down the subject of an entire photo on its own.
Something that's interesting about a class like this is we've got a wide variety of skill levels, some of these students are fairly beginners, others are experienced shooters actually coming from a film background. Many of them have never experienced a group critique before and they're a little nervous about that. Some of them may have photographic experience, but not have much experience with digital photography and none of them have ever done an exercise like this, an exercise that's really challenging the way they see, and getting them to try and look at the world in a very different way.
Male speaker: Well I think you would want to go ahead and take this little bit of light out of the shot in post-production. I think we could bring in the shot a little bit and reframe it, just to make it more interesting. Ben: We really encourage them to stay around the lodge because for an exercise like this, it doesn't matter where you are. Another nice thing about this exercise is it really teaches you that good photos can happen anywhere. You don't have to go somewhere special, light is happening all over the place and so we're hoping the students are going to seek it out in the nooks and crannies around the lodge, in their own rooms, out in the parking lot wherever they can find it.
What's compelling about this exercise is it gets you seeing in a very different way. It gets you to stop thinking about the objects in front of you, and start thinking about the light that's in front of you. Very often, what makes an interesting photo is not what you're pointing your camera at, but the light that's bouncing off of what you're pointing your camera at. Very often you might see shadows that are interesting and think well, this is an example of interesting light but, and this is treacherous philosophical ground here, no, that's a picture of a shadow, not light, even though it's a shadow created by light and that's often a pitfall that students run into on this exercise.
We really want the exercise to be about shooting interesting light.

Early last week Asus hit up Twitter to tease one of their upcoming products set to arrive at IFA in Berlin and this week they're at it again, only this time it's on Facebook. Like the last teaser, it uses the quote "Time has been transformed and we have changed" and shows what's likely a design process sketch of the still be unveiled device. Everything points to Asus showing off its Android Wear device at IFA 2014. Question is, how will it be different? We'll be on the ground in Berlin to check it out ourselves so we shall soon see.

Sorry, fellas---got a little behind in my correspondence.
I love the desert (I hope that comes through in my Ride Reports), but---as I've said numerous times---I love pretty much ALL country (ain't no "flyover" country in Dr. Greg's store of maps). But I've seen almost all of the US West (and I plan to see a lot of it again over the next 26 years), but not so much east of the Mississippi. Gotta give some of that country a chance, too...
And I'm glad that you enjoyed the comparison. We've had discussion about bikes over the years, and---while I appreciate your thoughts on "going smaller" (and I value your opinion highly, BTW)---I guess I really wanted a big-enough bike to ride across the country, and then back again. Plus as I said I always thought I should be on a big GS. And they finally built one that I like (and yes, it impressed me as a LOT different). The KTM 1190 is undoubtedly awesome, but it's got that friggin' chain (oh yeah, we had THAT talk, too ).
Sounds like you had a great trip right up until the fuel pump went. Since I've owned FI bikes, I've never had a fuel pump bite the dust , but man, once it goes you're up the creek, aren't you...there's still a lot to be said for a good ol' gravity-fed carburetor . Well, I've still got my '91 Hawk (sure feels SMALL after the big ADV bikes )
And after all that, SIX WEEKS?!? No wonder you traded. I had generally quite good luck with my two '06 Ulys; they both gave me a little trouble...just enough trouble so I still kept thinkin' about 'em. That's prolly what they wanted.
And thanks again to Kimberley for that "Drive Friendly" grammar correction---I try to be grammatically correct, except when I'm not. Make sense?
Oh yeah, glad you enjoyed the Ride Report. I enjoy writin' those crazy things, but it IS nice to get the odd compliment .
I, too, will never forget our first meeting---ADV WestFest 2007 in Sipapu, NM, IIRC. You said on FR 76 I rode that Uly "like a 250 2-stroke"---I've often remembered that comment when I've felt bad about my riding skill (especially coming from you). That was a great ride, and I, too, have often reminisced about that time. However, I will correct you on one thing: I had shod the Uly with (fairly) rare (or at least unusual) "SuperMoto rain tires" for that trip---closest thing available at that time to a dual-sport shoe for that size. IIRC the rear was shot after about 1,000 miles, but the front hung in there for quite a while
Sure nice that there is now a better choice of tires for the big ADV trailies...now, if I could just get the nut between the handlebars to tighten up a little...
Congrats on your new Super Tenere---I rode one, and they're very solid bikes. I'm sure you'll love it. It really surprises me when a manufacturer doesn't fit a cruise control to a "touring" bike that is ALREADY throttle-by-wire. All it takes is software (and trust me, the software alone (typical proportional-integral-derivative stuff) isn't that hard for a controls engineer). I mean, most cars have had them for decades.
PS. Hmmm, "oldandgray"---another screen name that should be MINE I guess there are a bunch of us.
But I had many, MANY wonderful trips (and day rides) on the MTS1200S. That bike still fits me the best of any of the "big" ADV bikes. And I do have a history with Ducatis. So I'm tickled with your new ride, and I wish you the best of luck. Great bike.
Re sound: the whole topic of "aural sex" is, um, rather subjective. The main thing is that YOU like the way YOUR bike sounds. And looks. And feels. And all that kinda stuff.
The DESMO DEVIL and I have a long, and checkered relationship . We've agreed to disagree, and even agreed to AGREE on occasion. Let me know when you hit the 50,000 mile (km?) mark on your MTS, and I'd be interested in how it's treating you. Like I said...great bike.
Most of these "newer" bikes are so good, that it's entirely a matter of personal preference. I guess that's what we've been talkin' about in all these comparisons. To each his own. It's a free country. And all that. Ride what you like and like what you ride. To each his own. A dollar down and a dollar a day...oops, better quit typin'...
OK fellas, perhaps this RR is well and truly coming to a close. It's been fun. I'm thinking a nice April trip would be to the Great Basin National Park, in eastern Nevada. GaleBT, I might be stoppin' by your place sometime during that trip.

Drumbeats and bugles resound through the buildings. The sounds "scatter the congregation" and disturb the bridegroom, the farmer, the city traffic, the sleepers, the talkers, the singers, and the lawyers. All these people hear the war cry, but the timid, the old, the children, and the mothers do not react positively to the call. The poet exhorts the drums and bugles to drown their dissenting voices. The drumbeat is a symbol of war and it creates highly passionate, even extremist responses; Whitman's poems reflect these emotions. The verse is characterized by a rapidity of movement which reflects the poet's enthusiasm, ardor, and passion. The poem also suggests Whitman's faith not only in the continuous cycle of history but also in the process of mystic evolution in the universe — that is, that the world will continue to progress in all spheres of life.
The poet expresses the spontaneous reaction of the North in the early years of the Civil War, following the South's attack on Fort Sumter in 1861. The three stanzas show the steady development of the theme. The poet feels the cause of war was justified by the events of that period. The drums, he says, should be able even "to shake the dead."

Northrop Grumman has begun installing systems in the first X-47B under the $635 million US Navy unmanned combat air system demonstrator (UCAS-D) contract won in August. The aircraft is scheduled to fly in 2009 and make its first autonomous carrier landing in 2011.
"It's 100% structurally complete," says Scott Winship, Northrop's UCAS-D programme manager. "The aircraft is out of the jig and over to paint and we're doing subsystems installation and check-out."
Although the X-47B will not make its debut until 2009, assembly is well advanced because Northrop began building the aircraft under the cancelled US Air Force/Navy J-UCAS programme. "We're finishing a programme started seven years ago," he says.
Testing of the first flight software has begun using an iron-bird rig at Northrop's Palmdale, California plant. "Once we get robust flight controls we will begin failure detection and accommodation testing, which is the real key to any unmanned aircraft," says Winship.
Fiscal year 2008 funding will be focused in completing the first X-47B. "We will get Ship 1 out and taxiing before we begin work on Ship 2," he says. Flight testing will begin at Edwards AFB in California and move to NAS Patuxent River in Maryland to begin working up to operations around and on an aircraft carrier at sea.
A Boeing F/A-18 will be used as a surrogate to test communications links, but does not have same the handling qualities as the tailless X-47B. "The US Navy has a very methodical process, and the criteria for a decision to go to the carrier are the highest I have seen in terms of reliability and autonomy," says Winship.

Emma Watson Shoots Down Fifty Shades of Grey Rumors: Are You Relieved or Disappointed?
Rumors! Where do they come from? What a shame we can't track them with GPS.
Hollywood is still salivating over the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey film adaptation — and every young actor and actress in the world seems to be in the running for the lead roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. Last week, Harry Potter actress Emma Watson's name came up more times than usual in connection with reports — to the point where even her friends and family were asking if she was in talks to play Ana.
"I haven't read the book, I haven't a read a script, nothing," Emma told Entertainment Weekly. "There are so many movies you become attached to when I've literally never even received a phone call. It was the same way with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo – I never even saw a script!"
It's still possible that the producers will call her, she's just saying they just haven't done it yet. (And she's not exactly begging them to get in contact.) Should they call her? Is she right for the role or do you think there are more fitting candidates out there?

1. The community is noisy (at least in the parts that are close to I75 the railroad or George Bush.
2. The maintenance people are doing a very bad job, they are cutting corners, painting on surface without cleaning them, using broken parts.... I called them many time more than once for the same problem.
3. The community has an agreement with Grande. so if you want to take advantage of the 25$ a month offer of Dish Network.... You can. you can have the same for 65$.
4. Recycling is only for selected products. So if you like recycling, take it elsewhere. on the same note, the apartments are very poorly insulated, so expect to pay between 70-200$ more a month on electricity.
5. Safety, they have been lots of cases of burglary.
6. Finally, if you do reach an agreement before signing, get it in writing. The tend to "forget".
1. My apartment is extremely quiet 2. The maintenance are great....they don't really even do the painting, that's what painters are for!!! 3. Well quit being cheap and get DirecTV they are the bomb!!! You get what you pay for. 4. Recycling is very expensive how about you call around & ask about how much the recycling bins cost...you'd be surprised!!! I live in the largest one bedroom facing the sun and my electric bill has never been over $120...now that's good!!! Put up some curtains, windows aren't meant to insulate an apartment. 5. Burglary issues since when?! Pull the police reports and see for yourself. and i'm pretty sure the ONLY incident that happened the apartments were nice enough to inform us of it. Most apartments don't tell you, b/c they aren't required. 6. Get everything in writing always...it clearly states in your lease contract that verbal agreements mean nothing. Everything must be a written request...even for a service request. But they are nice to let you call those in...otherwise you would have to take off work and come in their office. Move somewhere else and see how you get treated, this must be your first apartment or you aren't American. You will never find an apartment community this GOOD. I swear on my life. Get your facts straight b/c you don't anything you're talking about. Move out already if you don't like it here....they are full of people here!!! We don't need downers like you ruining a GREAT reputation b/c you had a BAD day and your life sucks :)

Pompeii style Pizza oven
4 Attachment(s)
Hello Forum members.
Am new to this forum and did'nt know which thread to post this on so took a chance and posted it on a new thread.
Built this in the summer on a shoestring using nearly ALL reclaimed materials. Used 3 types of bricks in the construction, using reclaimed full wire-cut clays for the dome. The form for the dome was made from cardboard ( 12 pieces 1 meter in dia, 50 cms in height, interlocked into eachother, making 24 ribs, strenthened with covering strips of newspaper papiermache)
The total interier dimentions of the dome are 1 meter by 50 cms laid on top of the first coarse laid in the soldier fashion.
Used much research on the web plus general building knowledge to build the beast. First full firing (recently) was successful, but used wrong wood/fuel to achieve full heat potencial. Would like help with which wood/charcoal? to use when I fire it up again (soon) please.
Have many more pics of the project and about a thousand questions to ask. any thoughts or comments on my little wood-oven would be gladly recieved.
Regards Terry (C.F)

The Loras College women's soccer team decided they were going to go right after the host Wheaton Thunder – who were 4-1 winners over the Duhawks in the regular season – on Saturday's regional final in suburban Chicago.
That game plan was off to a tremendous start as Loras took the first three shots of the game over the first eight minutes of the first half. They eventually opened the scoring in the 23rd minute when Lynn DeVriese took an Ailish Rispin pass and knocked it past the Thunder goalkeeper.
The lead was relatively short-lived as the hosts answered just seven minutes later. Bailey Wysocki was on the receiving end of a cross to even things up. Then, as the first half was winding down, the Thunder took their first lead of the game. In the 42nd minute, another cross was nearly out of bounds before being kept in and sent in front of the Loras goal. Ally Witt capped off the scoring chance with her eighth goal of the year.
Although the Duhawks pushed the pace in the first half, the Thunder were able to earn seven first half corner kicks and took 10 shots of their own. Hannah Wilson made four first half saves.
As the second half began, the visitors continued to try and find an equalizer, but it would be the hosts who scored next. Wheaton's third and final corner kick of the second half found the head of Sarah Frey to make it 3-1 in the 76th minute.
With time running out, the Duhawks had already changed their goalkeeper and committed players forward when the Thunder struck for their third goal. The final 14 minutes included much of the same. Loras forced Kelsey Graham to make two saves in the three minutes immediately following Wheaton's third goal. With 3:28 to play in the game, Danielle Vujovic pulled the trigger and beat Graham to make it 3-2 and continue the Duhawks' push to extend the game.
Vujovic's shot would be the last one the Duhawks would take as the hosts claimed the regional victory and Sweet 16 spot. Loras' ended their season at 18-4-1. It also meant the careers of Jackie Tumberger, Lynn DeVriese, Kinsey Campbell, Megan Kittleson, Sarah Trump, and Madeline Tennant came to an end. The senior class went their whole careers without a loss to an IIAC foe (42 games) and won 77 games over their careers.

Thoughtful, Prudent and Faltering: The Paradox of Obama
New York Times columnist Tom Friedman's extended interview with President Obama shed some light on how Obama can be well-informed, thoughtful, prudent—yet still be seen as faltering as a foreign policy president.
If you compare Obama with George W. Bush (OK—a low bar), Obama wins, hands down. Unlike Bush, Obama inhabits the reality-based foreign policy space, with no apologies. Unlike Bush, he has no messianic zealots among his advisers. He gives the kind of well-considered responses that suggest a president who carefully engages with truly difficult policy conundrums.
Yet at the end of the day, he often comes across as vacillating and indecisive—an impression that can be fatal in his dealings with allies, adversaries, and, of course, any electorate.
In the case of Iraq and ISIL's murderous assault on religious minorities and rivals, not to mention its conquest of significant cities and infrastructure, American air power got drawn in to the conflict despite Obama's wishes and against the wishes of most Americans, who are quite weary of our decade-long Iraq misadventure. Though some on the left and the right may oppose these air strikes, the president really had little choice.
But as Obama's Republican critics have demanded to know, what's the policy going forward? It's fine for Obama to declare that he doesn't want to "get into the business of being the Kurdish air force," but ISIL will not be stopped with a few waves of air bombardments. Both the Bush and Obama administrations made a huge mistake tolerating the Nuri al-Maliki regime, with its opportunistic all-Shiite complexion.
Here's the practical dilemma: Either Obama re-inserts American power, both in forcing a more representative regime in Baghdad and in repelling the ISIL invading force, or a power vacuum persists, inviting more Islamist radicalism and more Sunni disaffection from the Iraqi government.
It's not a pretty situation for any U.S. president. But ISIL was on the move weeks ago. It was clear to U.S. intelligence that this force was not going to be stopped by Iraqi's ragtag military, much less by 500 U.S. advisers. Had Obama moved earlier, both against Maliki's arrogance and against the ISIL invasion, he would have at least appeared more decisive and maybe made more of a difference on the ground.
Friedman wrote "Obama made clear that he is only going to involve America more deeply in places like the Middle East to the extent that the different communities there agree to an inclusive politics of no victor/no vanquished." That sounds both cautious and idealist, almost Wilsonian. But is this principle a practical guide for urgent action when ISIL is at the gates of Erbil and Baghdad? Sunnis and Shiites are not going to embrace each other any time soon.
Obama also asserted, according to Friedman, that "in Iraq a residual U.S. troop presence would never have been needed had the Shiite majority there not 'squandered an opportunity' to share power with Sunnis and Kurds." Well, of course. But was the U.S. without leverage over Maliki?
Obama, oddly, told Friedman:
"[W]e did not just start taking a bunch of airstrikes all across Iraq as soon as ISIL came in was because that would have taken the pressure off of [Prime Minister Nuri Kamal] al-Maliki." That only would have encouraged, he said, Maliki and other Shiites to think: 'We don't actually have to make compromises. We don't have to make any decisions. We don't have to go through the difficult process of figuring out what we've done wrong in the past. All we have to do is let the Americans bail us out again. And we can go about business as usual.'"
In effect, Obama is saying, we will let ISIL do the dirty work that America is unwilling to do in forcing out Maliki, while keeping enough military pressure on ISIL to prevent them from overrunning Iraq altogether. That tactic might work, but it is risky as hell, and it hardly adds up a policy of "no victors/no vanquished."
America faces a similar conundrum with respect to Israel and Palestine. The Israelis are existentially dependent on the alliance with the United States, but at the end of the day no American president has been willing to apply necessary leverage over inflammatory Israeli actions on settlements on the West Bank or normalization of civilian life in Gaza.
Obama used the Friedman interview to bemoan his lack of leverage. He praised "the ingenuity, energy and vision of the Jewish people," and quipped that Prime Minister Netanyahu's "poll numbers are a lot higher than mine" and "were greatly boosted by the war in Gaza," Obama added, "And so if he doesn't feel some internal pressure, then it's hard to see him being able to make some very difficult compromises, including taking on the settler movement."
All true, but the U.S. has been reluctant to use the leverage it has. In fairness to Obama, no American president has been willing to push the Israel alliance to its breaking point. But once again, this president appears disengaged and weak.
It is Obama's bad luck to be chief executive at a moment when the consequences of several bad policies of the past century are blowing up, on his watch. His answers to particular questions are thoughtful, prudent, and mindful of the limits of American power. But taken together, missteps like taking a little too long to move on Iraq, stumbling in his effort to define bright lines in Syria, and failing to dissuade the Israelis from brutal air strikes on civilian neighborhoods in Gaza, turn salutary prudence into the perception of weakness.
In his conversation with Friedman, Obama tried to connect the theme of partisan dysfunction at home to tribalism in the Middle East. We Americans, he told Friedman, "will never realize our full potential unless our two parties adopt the same outlook that we're asking of Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds or Israelis and Palestinians: No victor, no vanquished and work together."
Something is wrong with that analogy. It begins to sound like an alibi for Obama's inability to win bipartisan cooperation at home and it seems an impossible objective in the Middle East. As nasty as Republicans can be, our politics are not at the level of Sunnis versus Shiites, Israelis versus Palestinians, much less ISIL versus the Enlightenment.
Thus the Obama paradox. He is one of the best-informed and most thoughtful foreign policy presidents we have had in a long time, but his very appreciation of complexity often comes across as indecision.
No president ever wins points for being Hamlet. In today's foreign policy crises, there are few good choices. Somehow, this president needs to hold on to his prudence while finding more decisiveness.

This apologia merely reflect a liberal love of intellect. Unfortunately, intellect is not all. The appearance of indecisiveness reflects the reality. Early in his first term, he wanted Israel to halt West Bank settlements; Israel ignored him, and Obama did nothing--not suspend arms deliveries, nothing. Everyone say that he was weak, and that weakness is the basis of his indecisiveness. He may understand both sides of a decision, but he does not understand the need to make one.

I'll grant you that the situation in Iraq would be better with a more inclusive government. It does not follow that it would be better with a more inclusive government imposed by the United States. Hard to get out of the imperial mindset, isn't it?
"...our politics are not at the level of ... Israelis versus Palestinians." Really? When a Republican leader stated that his party's highest priority was to ensure the President's failure? When the Republicans oppose policies they formerly supported, simply because the President favors them?
It was announced today that nearly three-quarters of the chemical weapons and precursors surrendered by the Syrian government have been neutralized. The complete destruction of the materials is in sight. This could never have been accomplished by air strikes, which would have certainly caused substantial collateral damage. How on earth can you regard this as a "stumble"?

As a caribbean male living in North America it scares the daylight out of me that a comment on a media such as this can land me in serious trouble with American gate watchers, but here I go. I hear few mainstream media make the point that ISIS is funded by Saudia Arabia, a Sunni and Wahabi religious cohort which is a US benefactor on all levels military and financial. The equipment bombed are US equipment, isn't this strange, this round about relationship. US wants Assad out and he's battling the same terrorists, roundabout, US and Assad are on the same side. Where I sit, I thank the Superior Being for POTUS, his wisdom and clarity is not appreciated by the average Americans because they get their cues from Rambo but the battling forces in the Middle East have been killing themselves for hundred of years, with America's help and others they can do it much efficiently now. Please leave people like me out of your roundabout self imposed conflicts, your corporations reap the rewards and you get to complain.
These issues were not started recently but has taken decades to germinate and thank God again for POTUS's clarity of not getting drawn into these roundabouts as much as the US is at its core. I guess what Mr.Kuttner's point is, is that the President should be more assertive in dealing with knuckleheads such as Maliki and Karzai, which I totally agree. They are not worthy of respect and understand only brute force. Problem here is that clarity and wisdom clashes with American national interests. Again as a caribbean national, we see clearly "the runnings" and wish to state our point without being branded anti-American for merely stating the obvious.

Regarding your line " but ISIL will not be stopped with a few waves of air bombardments" - it is similar to something I read in a Foreign Affairs article " a few pinpricks" will not inhibit ISIS... I think both accounts are excessively downplaying the significance of such massive bombardments. Up to now these atrocious ISIS militants have been experiencing success after success - the enormous bomb and other missile attacks, if accurately targeted, could bring terror to ISIS and its band of extremists...
So, I think President Obama shouldn't be afraid to serve as the Kurdish, or Iraqi Air Force for a little while - such a role should bring no US casualties, which is the primary issue - which could be extremely effective in neutralizing the militants.
You imply that the President should have considered pulling Israel's chain. I do think Obama should have shown some independence from US Doctrine and revoked Israeli military aid for Israel's blatently criminal bombardment of civilians in the Gaza territory. Though no one's talking about what Israel should have done in lieu of bombing - a law enforcement operation in Gaza targeting the rockets, and rocket-launchers, instead of civilians.
I agree that President Obama seems unsure of himself, or like the Presidency runs him, as opposed to him devising it.
I haven't read the whole article yet, but thanks for the article.

In this conundrum, what would "decisiveness" exactly mean?
Actions against Israel? Members of both parties roast him for that.
Actions against Saudi Arabia? With our oil vulnerability?
Actions against ISIL? Air strikes, drones, or troops on the ground?
Who are the allies who would back up whatever decision he makes?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bardan Monastery or Bardan Gompa is a 17th-century Buddhist monastery, approximately 12 kilometres south of Padum, in Zanskar, Ladakh, northern India. It belongs to the Dugpa-Kargyud monastic order and was one of the first monasteries of this sect to be established in Zanskar.[1] The monastery also ran several smaller hermitages in the area.
The monastery consists of a large Dukhang or assembly hall which has some grand statues of Buddhist figures and several small stupas in clay, bronze, wood and copper.
