Keep riding. More Pics!........

the review of the NX two up,
what an amazing touring machine
rofl: no I am just kidding
But I am pleased to report
thanks to all the mods I made beefing up the suspension
it is fun and tolerable for short distances even for the pillion
now if you are used to GWs or STs or other fine touring machines
just look away, there is nothing for you to see here hehe
So we had for a long time talked about touring on bikes together
and having her learn how to ride and going riding together and other such romantic stuff.
However not much ever happened due to being soo busy, having a small bike
and a whole host of other excuses we could make up.
However earlier this year after doing some wrenching on the bike
we just decided to go for it and have her get used the sometimes
comical act of being a pillion on such a small bike.
Forward a few months and now we have proper gear for her and
I never get the weird look when I ask; "Should we take the bike there?"
a few pics of us
We have since done a whole bunch of k's on a variety of short rides round
the city and before the season is done I hope to get her to try the handlebars for herself.
In short it has allowed me to share the joy of riding with my wife
no matter how small the doses.
What is even better she seems to enjoy it quite a bit and
never forgets to tell me that.
Luck me, eh

So one day these two shady characters show up in my drive way
The rear of the cbr was loosing air faster than fast and no tube was going to
sort that mess out, a plug was needed and we were quickly off in search of
a place to do it.
I got my gear on and we were off
Soon 3 thumping pistons were gracing the front lawn of motoshop
while the guy in the back did his plug-in-the-hole business.
$10 and a smoke later we were good to go.
Not long after we were joined by another piston
and we were stampeding the streets with 1025ccs of combined terror
while often nervously checking the pressure of the cbr rear.
We got to rip around at breakneck speeds and have delicious lunch by the lake.
1025cc of sheer power on display
Lock up your daughters the mad bikers are in town!

Paintin' Cars
I thought I would just mention this here for those of you that are noticing
the changes on my bike, since this thread was started.
I do a lot of tinkering, but really art is my thing and I always painted everything I owned, bikes, cars, bricks, shoes so it is only natural I would do it to my motorcycle.
Anyways after doing a bunch of this
to repair this
and then do some of this
It was time to get on the road and test the wind resistance of the new paint job and sturdiness of the repaired mounting tabs.
It turns out that all is well, and I was also able to watch this beauty be unveiled after getting its final coat of clear.
ah fresh paint just gotta love it

Train Ain't Spottin'
This was one of those rides were you just need a fix
a qick there and back with no particular purpose...
wait that's how these things are most of the time.
Basically time was tight and I need to fill it anyways.
I ended up doing a few little roads that I mentioned in my low traction post.
It is close it is easy but is loads of fun.
Short gravel section. In much much better shape this time of year.
It get's a little grown in in places. Nothing bad just enough to make it feel nice.
You don't take many photos, you just keep going.
Down every bend, twist, turn, hill, driveway, everything you can before its time to head back.
Just what is needed for that little fix.
On the way back, another photo op.
I just like my bike and the places it takes me.

Nuts n Bolts
Two guys, 4 wheels and one unexpected surprise.
This was another snack ride.
After grinding some slab in rush hour and an unexpected right turn
we found something of note.
A nice break from city traffic indeed. We ventured a little further and came across this gem.
This dude was all smiles, and it was decided to spend some time looking around.
Some nice scenery and some bad graffiti.
The water level was pretty low but there was plenty of evidence to suggest that is not the norm.
Bridges are cool right
Kind of scary when one of these zooms overhead.
Especially when underneath is littered with these.
We ventured a little further and explored a bit.
Enormous challenges and obstacles were overcome. hehe
But there was no stopping us.
Just one of those days where you say, huh well that was fun.
Need more of those. More.

Pissin' Blood
Three of us were wanting to go on this ride for a while but
due to all sorts of this and that's we all ended up thinking it
wasn't going to happen this year.
Somehow we aligned schedules and we got together for a day
of fun and tribulations on the dirt "roads" north of the city.
There was quite some time to be spent on the gray stuff until
we got to the fun roads and we made quick work of those before taking a fuel brake.
The big bores filling up while I enjoy the scenery
Shortly after we were zooming on the gravel and dirt roads that led to tricky
fun stuff. Most of the time it was me trying to keep up with the beastly XRCRFEXCL
and the jetted DR all the while either having a ball testing the minimal limits of my
sub-par rubber or dodging their roost. Fun times dotted by a few hairy moments that
had me check back and slow down a little.
After sometime time of doing that my 22 year ol' clutch was starting to show its age.
Here we are taking a breather initiated by yours truly after major slippage reared its
ugly head. I was trying to "help" things by playing with the cable and seeing what I can get.
Natnewt and alekomotto discussing the next leg on the gps while I pray.
Then we were of and the next 40k or so was pure nirvana.
As the day so far was a bit of a hurry-up-and-gas-it type of thing
I thought I would stop to take a photo or two and so on.
the others were having a blast as well it seems
This was coincidentally a day when the local ADV gang was planning
a bbq get together and I had a feeling we would run into them on the
trail somewhere. Full event participation was not in the cards for any of us
so it would have been nice just to join in on a little part of it.
As it turns out this was the moment and from around the corner the inmates
started appearing. We then met the FFs little further down the trail for a
refreshing chat and to hang out with all the cool machinery.
It was really nice to see everyone I haven't in a while and
in such an appropriate setting.
Shortly after we went our own ways. We had our own plans of hitting
some of the tighter stuff in the area before heading back and it was
time to find it. The next hour or so was just pure fun.
The guys were quite amused with my no traction antics
and full throttle - full spin – two foot dabbing due to my super fantastic TW slick.
Everyone wants a TW slick
A break on the trail after some rocky bits to let the adrenaline wear down and eat a snack.
Later on more fun was to be had and things really got interesting.
Here I am trying to avoid getting run over by alekomotto.
Here is me on the same decent.
Such smooth style.
I make it however without any holes in the cases.
I am still pretty happy that my clutch is "holding up" and I haven't cooked it completely yet.
Next up… carnage.
Since I relegated myself to the role of the sweeper primarily because
of inadequate engine capacity and to conserve my clutch I was at
the back for most of the time on the trails. This gave me the opportunity
to take in the scenery which proved to be a good thing.
As I came through a couple of holes a faint bit off white in the bush of to
the side of the trail caught my eye. I did a double take and was like SHIIIIIIT
when I saw alekomotto's eyes and the expression of pain through his helmet.
I got on the binders and jumped off into the bush. He was in the thick of it
wrapped around a boulder like pretzel.
First thing he says to me is "get the bike, get the bike".
This makes me feel better as at least he is
conscious if not sane. So I pull the bike off and out of the bush
and quickly run back to him. He is wanting to stand up but
I do the whole stay calm - don't move - squeeze my hand and
so on thing. He is in big pain but I figure it is safe to take his
helmet off and let him shift into a comfier position.
Natnewt comes back to check on us going WTF
Aleko is in real pain and I take off his gloves and vest to check for damage.
Fuck it is already swelling. This isn't good.
Needless to say the dude is in serious pain.
We decide it is necessary to just relax and assess the situation.
Natnewt and I de-flood the bike and after a few tries she fires up.
After a quick spin we realize it is perfectly rideable, only a severely
bent bar and broken mirror to speak of.
We try to figure out what happened and the best we could tell
he lost the rear in some slop and then over reacted and ended
up in the bushes trying to hang on until he met the rock.
Natnewt gathering photo evidence
After some more moaning and wondering and what seemed like a heck
of a long time of uncertainty Aleko decides he will try and ride out of there.
We have made the decision based on Alekos situation to try
and get out of the trails as soon as possible and via the shortest route.
Little did we know, but our greatest challenge was still ahead of us.
Most of the trails today were pretty dry by Ontario fall standards but
in an effort to get out to the main road we ended up re-routing via
the most bogged up and wet trail we have encountered yet.
Some parts were so saturated that they disintegrated the moment you looked at them.
We were plotting along and it got progressively worse. All of us were finding
this a challenge especially Aleko with all the pain and pretty much the handicap
of not being able to use the left side of his body.
We now stumble upon the mother bog of the day. Natnewt goes first and
to our outter disbelief the amazing contraption he rides actually sinks
down to its axels on what seemed to be the most solid line we could take
and comes to a complete, abrupt, bogged down stop. Aleko makes it about
30 feet further further and can no longer control the bike and just flops over
in the slop. I decide to go for it and with all my might and the 250cc of brute
force I make it spinning wildly all the way through. (yay nXraid!!)
Horrible photo but you can kind of see the last bit of the churned up bog I went through.
I find a somewhat of a dry spot and after making sure the bike
wont sink quickly run back to where Aleko went down.
He is up and gives me the thumbs up but can't pick up the bike
as he is in a world of pain. I pick his bike up and try and start it
but it is flooded again. I place it in the most unsinkable spot I can
find and go further back to see if I can help dig Natnewt out.
To say he was stuck was an understatement this photo was taken
with the phone after I pried the front wheel out of the supper sticky
Ontario cement with the big log you see there.
After a whole lot of cussing, pulling, pushing and spinning we
end up getting both Nat's and Aleko's bikes out.
Here is Natnewt celebrating our victory over the swamp monster.
The bit to the road and the gas station wasn't worth a story and was consumed
as quickly as possible. Here Natnewt chows down on a toblerone(which he didn't share, bastid!!)
while we all gas up and take a breather. He booted off as he was lucky enough to have
Floyd tickets and if he acted now would just be able to catch the concert.
alekomotto and I were to sort out our way back and contrary to our original
plan of side roads were to beam-line it straight back to the city pending on Aleko's pain thresh hold.
Check out this face, after this I would park his bike next to a curb each time we stopped for gas.
We got on with it as the weather was also starting to close in on us.
A storm was brewing and we were sure we were gonna eat it
somewhere on the way back. It was a long road, but much harder for this guy then me.
The ride back wasn't the most fun however. Our beam-line option
bites back and we are stuck in traffic for quite some time all the
while the weather threatening to open up a can of whoop ass on us.
Looking for alekomotto in the mirror.
Almost home. (Notice the curb and the DR)
We also seemed to have dodged the weather.
This one is for the books, I am happy to be home.
Feeling like I was on a real adventure.
Spaceman on arrival.
If you were wondering alekomotto was fine.
He was pissing blood for a few days and was close to a kidney transplant
but his life was spared due to his kidney protection and the occasional prayer he says
He is now recovering well and we recently went for a fun fall colors spin.
The kidney 8 days after the rock hugging incident.

Great stories! I love the paint job on your NX! Someday i'll get around to doing something like that to mine. Trying to sort some small jetting issues at the moment...Would you mind sharing your carburetor jetting and the elevations that you ride in?
Thank you and keep the pictures coming!

Publisher's Description
Are you a follower of Jesus? Dont answer too quickly. In fact, you may want to read this book before you answer at all. Consider it a Define the Relationship conversation to determine exactly where you stand. You may indeed be a passionate, fully devoted follower of Jesus. Or, you may be just a fan who admires Jesus but isnt ready to let him cramp your style. Then again, maybe youre not into Jesus, period. In any case, dont take the questionAre you a follower of Jesus?lightly. Some people dont know what theyve said yes to and other people dont realize what theyve said no to, says Pastor Kyle Idleman. But Jesus is ready to clearly define the relationship he wants with his followers. Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness sprinkled with humor, Idleman invites you to live the way Jesus lived, love the way he loved, pray the way he prayed, and never give up living for the One who gave his all for you.
Author Bio
Kyle Idleman is the Teaching Pastor at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, the fourth largest church in America. He is the author of the award-winning and best-selling book not a fan. He is also the presenter of several video curricula, including not a fan, H2O, and the newly released study gods at war.
"Kyle Idleman knows where we live and where we could live with God's help. His words are, at once, profound and practical. He is committed to helping us move in the right direction. If you need a helping hand in your journey, he'll point you to the right Person." - Max Lucado, Pastor, Oak Hills Church and Author of Fearless
"Jesus never asked us to sit on the sidelines and cheer for his cause. In Idleman's book, Not a Fan, Kyle will challenge you to grow from a fair weather fan to a full-time follower of Christ." - Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor of LifeChurch.tv and Author of The Christian Atheist
"Not a Fan is truly a cutting edge study that will challenge even the most obedient Christians to re-look at their relationship with Christ. I highly recommend to individuals and churches everywhere." - Mike Huckabee, Former Governor of Arkansas and Author of Do the Right Thing
"Kyle Idleman's Not a Fan is a crucial message for our time. It's a powerful call to commitment and to following Jesus with all our hearts that has challenged me in the best of ways!" - Jud Wilhite, Sr. Pastor Central Christian Church, Las Vegas and Author of Throw it Down
"This book disrupts the status quo and challenges readers to follow Christ with greater devotion." - Mark Batterson, Lead Pastor, National Community Church and Author of Soul Print
"Not A Fan is a book that every Christian should read and regularly re-read. I started to read the manuscript and could not stop until I finished. This is a NOW message for the Church and my hope is that every believer who reads this will become an authentic follower of Christ." - Christine Caine, Founder, The A21 Campaign and Author of Run to Win
The tendency in American Christianity is to attract crowds, but Idleman points out that when confronted with large crowds, Jesus' message was more than likely to drive them away rather than attract them to stay. Clearly, He was searching for those who would truly follow and not just establishing a following.
Pastor Idleman walks his readers carefully through a series of diagnostic steps to help them honestly evaluate the relationship they have with Jesus. The thought-provoking emphasis is greatly enhanced by illustrations and real-life testimonies of those who share their experiences which lead them to the conclusion that they are not a fan of Jesus, but a follower.
The tantalizing dangers inherent in such a discussion are also highlighted, to assist the reader in their evaluation. Idleman carefully navigates to the heart of the issues regarding following Jesus instead of following rules, following Jesus rather than just associating with Him, and following Jesus exclusively rather than adding Him to a list of heroes to name just a few. Earnest appeals are made without wandering into melodramatic or emotional manipulation.
Far from being just an appeal to become a follower, Not a Fan does an excellent job of detailing exactly what following Jesus is intended to cost. Discussion of the cost of earnest devotion to Christ is presented in such a way that the appeal is both direct and honest.
I commend Not a Fan to you. While not the first or last book to discuss this topic, it is a much needed read. Charles Eldred, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

Favored215 Stars Out Of 5ExcellentMay 25, 2015Favored21Quality: 0Value: 0Meets Expectations: 0This is the best book I have ever read regarding following Christ!! I do not like to do a lot of reading. I like to get to the point and move on and books don't usually hold my attention. Well, not so with this one. It has made me look at my commitment and make changes to be more of a follower. I use this book as devotion in the morning and at night! I have truly enjoyed reading it and I'm purchasing more to send to my friends. This book fit right in with my 1st of the year commitment...more of Christ and less of me. Our Pastor recommended it for reading and most of the congregation purchased it. Most of us have adopted the phrase DTR.....!! I had many "ouch" moments.

Joan1 Stars Out Of 5Disappointing and simplisticJanuary 30, 2015JoanQuality: 5Value: 2Meets Expectations: 1I did not even finish this book. Read about 3/4 of it and found it to be pointless. Either you are a follower or not.. If you only know about Jesus, and don't believe Him to be the Savior and Son of God, you are certainly not even a fan. You have insulted Him by calling Him a liar and turning your back on Him. Fans don't do that. After all, He claimed to be God, and backed it up with proof, so if you don't believe it, but only know Him as a good guy and great teacher and example, the He is a liar as far as you are concerned, and a fraud. I expected more
Ask Christianbook
Q: What is needed for small group study? If we choose this study for our small group what exactly is needed to complete the study besides the dvd kit? Do we need the journal and paperback? Is the journal in the kit the same as the one that can be bought separately?Thank you,Jody
The study kit for small groups requires everything included in the kit. The paperback book is not required. While it may be possible to do the study without the journal, there is strong recommendation to use it to get the most out of the overall study. The Journal sold separately is identical to the one in the kit.

(2 Feb 2011)
There are two treatable causes for slow records processing - both of which are due to veteran students not doing what they agreed to do when they signed the student contract with Veteran Services.
Please take a moment to ensure that you are not part of the problem - the records you delay are not just your own!
Problem #1
Missing/obsolete Student Education Plan (SEP).
We need a copy of your most recent SEP in your file at Veteran Services as soon as possible -
but in all cases not later than the end of your first term.
We are seeing an increase in the number of veterans without current SEPs who are declaring benefits. If you don't have an accurate SEP on file with us, please schedule an appointment with the academic counselors, get one generated, and bring us a copy. Otherwise your record will be placed on "hold" awaiting one.
Problem #2
Neglecting to inform Veteran Services of added or dropped classes.
We can't assume that you want benefits paid for classes you added but didn't declare - we have to stop processing to ask you if you want benefits for the added class. Dropped classes must be reported immediately to avoid DVA overpayment actions toward both you AND the school. Time spent working on the increasing number of overpayment cases is time that can't be spent processing records for payment. You can report these changes in person, by phone, or emailing the modification form on our Class Declaration page of this website.
Thank you for your attention in the matter: we know you want to be paid quickly and we want you to be! - but we need your help to speed the process as much as we can. If you already do these things - thank you - now tell your peers how important it is!

Riviera Casino & Hotel Searching for Next Las Vegas Strip Comic Headliner
The Riviera Casino & Hotel has welcomed some of the funniest people onstage at the Riviera Comedy Club since opening in 1955, from Bob Hope and George Carlin to Gallagher and Andrew Dice Clay.
Now the iconic club is looking to give one rising star the shot to be a featured comic on the Las Vegas Strip. A total of 16 comedians will be selected from submitted entries and invited to perform in a weekly, live competition each Saturday from Mar. 23 - Apr. 13 at 10 p.m. The winner of each of the four live performances will compete for the title of "Riviera Featured Comic" during the finale on Saturday, Apr. 20.
"There are genuinely funny people out there, whether novices or experienced comedians, who are just looking for their big break, and we're inviting those funny people from around the country to join the competition," says Mark Massimino, director of entertainment at Riviera Casino & Hotel. "Winning this competition would be a great resume builder for any comedian, and who knows, we may even find a new regular headliner."
Comedians are invited to upload a 3-5 minute performance video to the Riviera's Facebook - http://a.pgtb.me/rpZzFk or by mailing in a DVD of their performance to the Riviera. Entrants must be at least 21 years of age with valid ID and cannot have performed at the Riviera in the past three years. A full list of rules can be found at www.RivieraHotel.com

Trinity Christian School has become known around the state for excellence in athletics. During the past Six years, Trinity Christian School has produced:
One National Championship Team
Seven State Championship Teams
Seven State Championship Runner-up Teams
Results are important, but Trinity Christian School understands the real importance of athletics. Athletics teaches discipline, the importance of hard work, the setting and attaining of worthwhile goals, responding to authority, self-sacrifice, humility and composure under pressure. Through athletics, students learn to face adversity and challenges with a steady eye, a courageous spirit, and reliance upon the ultimate authority – Jesus Christ.
As part of its commitment to provide a complete educational experience for the student body, TCS provides diverse opportunities for athletic involvement for both men and women. The focus of all TCS sports activities is to cultivate character qualities that prepare the student for successful Christian living after graduation. Coaches are committed to modeling Christian virtues both on and off the athletic field.
TCS is a member of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, Division 3A (TAPPS). All schools compete within the guidelines and abide by rules established by TAPPS. For a complete schedule of all Trinity Christian School athletic events for the 2015-2016 year, you can review our full online Athletic Schedule in "Events" section.

My, my, my. Santorum is back up against Romney in a poll that the pollster told Frank Beckmann last week would stick with Romney on top.
MIRS News:
Rick SANTORUM is back in the lead with 37 percent to Mitt ROMNEY's 35 percent, which is within the margin of error, in a new MIRS/Mitchell Research poll taken Sunday night.
In the last MIRS/Mitchell poll taken Thursday, Romney had 36 percent to Santorum's 33 percent, which again was a statistical tie (See "Debate Boosts Romney In New MIRS/Mitchell Poll," 2/24/12).
"There is an overlay between social and fiscal conservatives," said Steve MITCHELL, president of Mitchell Research & Communications, Inc. "Romney's strategy had been to win over all conservatives by hammering Santorum on the fact that he is not the fiscal conservative he claimed to be. Up until the weekend, that strategy seemed to be successful. However, Santorum's push for social conservatives in the past three days seems to have worked and they moved back to him, allowing him to re-take the lead. The volatility we thought had changed has not. The race remains very fluid."
The poll conducted Sunday by Mitchell and Rosetta Stone Communications had Newt GINGRICH at 9 percent and Ron PAUL at 8 percent and 11 percent undecided.
John GARST of Rosetta Stone Communications said the firms "carefully examined and re-examined our data to make sure it was correct" in light of two other polls showing Romney ahead.
PPP had Romney had 39 percent and Santorum at 37 percent in a Sunday poll (See "PPP: Romney Takes Slight Lead," 2/25-26/12) and We Ask America had the race at Romney 37 percent and Santorum 34 percent in its Sunday survey, which was outside the margin of error.
Tea Partiers, evangelicals and "very conservatives" have all posted gains for Santorum in the latest survey.
On Thursday, Romney had erased a 16-percent lead Santorum had with Tea Party supporters. In this poll, Santorum is back ahead with those voters by 6 percent. Romney cut a 16 percent Santorum lead among evangelicals to 7 percent on Thursday. Now Santorum has moved his lead out to 19 percent. On Thursday, Romney had cut a 31-percent lead Santorum had with "very conservatives" down to 13 percent. Now that lead is back up to 17 percent.
"Santorum's strong appeal to social conservatives has been very effective. This race is still very close, but momentum seems to have changed," Mitchell said. "Get out the vote efforts will really count."
Romney has fallen in almost every demographic group since Thursday.
Santorum dominates in Grand Rapids media market, 51 percent to Romney's 19 percent. That's up from Santorum's 41 percent to Romney's 30 percent on Thursday.
Romney clings to a lead in the Detroit media market, 43 percent to Santorum's 35 percent. On Thursday, Romney had 37 percent to Santorum's 24 percent.
In other areas of Michigan, the two candidates are about even, with Romney at 35 percent and Santorum at 35 percent. On Thursday, Romney was at 37 percent and Santorum was at 34 percent.
Romney had moved a 10-percent deficit among Republicans to a 9-percent lead on Thursday. Romney's lead with GOP voters is now down to 1 percent in the Sunday poll. The polling shows that eight in 10 voters are self-identified Republicans (81 percent), up slightly from Thursday night.
The former Massachusetts governor has gained with Democrats, up from 3 percent Thursday to 17 percent Sunday. Santorum still dominates with 30 percent, down from 36 percent.
Romney has made inroads with independents, going from 22 percent Thursday to 32 percent Sunday. But Santorum also gained 10 points, going from 26 percent to 36 percent in the latest poll.
Romney had erased a 23 percent deficit with men, but now Santorum is ahead by 4 percent. Romney's 7 percent lead with women has now been cut to 1 percent.
The automated telephone survey of 858 likely Republican presidential primary voters has a 3.3 percent margin of error.
We Ask America Poll: Romney 37%, Santorum 34%
Mitt ROMNEY is ahead in the new We Ask America poll with 37 percent to Rick SANTORUM's 33 percent — just beyond the margin of error.
The poll had Ron PAUL at 18 percent and Newt GINGRICH at 13 percent. There was no option given to be undecided.
"While Romney has pulled out all the stops in his home state and seems poised for a come-from-behind victory, Rick Santorum has hung in against an onslaught of negative ads and a few gaffes of his own doing," We Ask America writes in its analysis. "If Santorum loses by a close margin, many will question Romney's ability to close the ultimate deal after a less-than-stellar showing in the Wolverine State."
The automated survey of 984 likely GOP voters had a 3.1-percent margin of error.

I've been for Rick from the start…I could not be happier!
Conservatives (Republican, Democrat, and Independent) have an edge in Michigan; if you're registered to vote, you can vote in the GOP primary. I hope everyone has read through Jen's posts and understands the importance of putting ideology first tomorrow.

State looks at veterans benefit spending
As one way to help take advantage of the potential $400 million windfall, veteran groups are lobbying for $11 million in authorized spending that never materialized because of protracted state deficits. Gov. Jerry Brown is proposing $2.6 million in his 2013-14 spending plan — the same amount allocated every year since 2006-07. If Brown doesn't allocate the full $11 million, some lawmakers, including Assemblyman Rocky Chavez, R-Oceanside, have suggested shifting the money from veterans housing.
On Tuesday, Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi, the committee chairman, noted that the Little Hoover Commission, a nonpartisan panel that advises the Legislature, has already held one review session in which it scrutinized veterans care and claims.
Muratsuchi said his panel plans to dedicate a full hearing to both the backlog and veterans housing. A probe of veterans homes by the independent state auditor is expected later this spring.

'Problem bull bared its teeth in anger'
Posted: April 12, 2014|
ENGINEER Darren Rose claimed he encountered an "angry bull" at the same farm where a walker was fatally attacked weeks later, a jury heard.
He had met farmer Paul Waterfall in October 2010.
Waterfall is on trial for manslaughter by gross negligence after a rambler was killed by a bull on his land six weeks later.
Waterfall had rescued Mr Rose's colleagues from a ditch when a bull chased them in the field after they turned up at night to do emergency electrical repairs in October 2010.

Mr Rose, who was not in the field when the incident happened, saw the farmer as he disappeared in his tractor to Mr Rose's stranded colleagues.
He told the trial at Nottingham Crown Court yesterday: "He [the farmer] said he'd heard the bull from the bedroom. The farmer said 'leave me to it, I'm going to go down the lane into the field'. He did exactly that.
"When he came back out, he was driving his tractor and had a scoop on the front and in the bucket there was Robert and Chris [his colleagues] sat in the front."
Mr Rose said the farmer was looking for the bull because that was the "main culprit".
Mr Rose said: "It was an angry bull, because I could see the steam it was blowing through its nostrils. It was showing its teeth. I think it had small horns or stubs."
He claimed the farmer said it was a "problem bull" and he could not go into the enclosure with it himself.
Workers Robert Smith and Christopher Robinson sought the safety of the ditch after they were chased by the bull.
The men, employed by Central Networks, had walked on land at Underhill Farm, in Stanford-on-Soar, to access a pole by a hedgerow to do emergency electrical repairs.
But when the bull ran towards them, both dived into a ditch, and Waterfall rescued them in the bucket of the tractor after he was contacted by their control room.
Waterfall, 39, was charged after rambler Roger Freeman was killed on November 12, 2010. Prosecutor Andrew McGee said Waterfall was aware of the risk posed by the bull, named Moonriver Zac Pi.
Known as Zac, the 19-month-old brown Swiss bull had been involved in two previous incidents just weeks before the alleged fatal attack on Mr Freeman, the court heard.
Mr Freeman, 63, was on a walking holiday with his wife Glenis, 70, of Glen Parva, when he was savagely attacked by the animal on a public path that ran through Underhill Farm.
The court heard Mrs Freeman tried to distract the animal but it attacked her too.
Her husband died at the scene from multiple injuries and she needed surgery following the attack.
It is alleged that Waterfall breached his duty of care to the public by failing to ensure the bull was safely confined on his land on the Nottinghamshire/Leicestershire border.
The trial is expected to last up to five weeks.

Rain and injury fail to dampen duo's resolve
Last updated at 08:46, Thursday, 26 May 2011
WET weather and injury led to the first wash-out of the Vagabonds South Cumbrian tour.

When the rain clouds refused to budge as they huddled under the bandstand on the Glebe, in Bowness, Phill Greg and Gary Bridgens decided to call Sunday night's show off.
The pair had been reunited that day following Mr Bridgens' trip to hospital with a calf injury.
Despite being ideal weather for the ducks who congregate at the Glebe, the constant rain deterred a crowd.
And coupled with 'Gacko's' injury, the duo decided to head back to their bed and breakfast for a curry and a hot bath.
But just before heading off they gave an impromptu show to the Broggen family, from Crosthwaite, who braved the rain to meet the entertainers.
After a humorous tale featuring a turtle and a hare, the Vagabonds, from Barrow, performed a number on their ukuleles, recounting their adventure so far.
Following the show, Vicki Broggen, who was with her daughters Daisy and Martha and husband Patrick, said: "The show was fantastic.
"We have seen Gary before and we knew we were in for a treat. It is a lovely way of seeing an old, classic tale read."
Spirits slightly dampened by the rain and his injury, Mr Bridgens spoke to the Evening Mail after the evening's show.
He said: "It was really upsetting to get injured and it is a shame that affected the pushing part, which for me is a great part of the experience.
"But the show must go on.
"It was disappointing that bad weather kept people indoors. But it was nice that some people turned out to see the show, even if it was only a couple of routines out of a suitcase."
Mr Bridgens and Mr Gregg are pushing their travelling puppet cart Dolly on an epic 100-mile tour of South Cumbria, which culminates at Barrow Park bandstand on Sunday.

Just seen the Vagabonds at Kirkby-In-Furness tonight. They were superb. Setting was perfect, performing in a corner of the cricket field in front of St Cuthbert's Church on a sunny (if cold) evening, to an audience of more than 50 locals, including a group of Brownies. The Vagabonds deserve a medal for their three-week walking journey through Furness and South Cumbria. Great advert for the area with their local stories, songs and humour. Askam and Dalton performances on Saturday before their homecoming on Sunday. Come on Barrow, let's give them a fitting homecoming to Barrow Park.
Fantastic-went to watch them at Broughton tonight, their enthusiasm and talent shone through, my 10 year old really enjoyed it and all the stories and songs were excellent. Hope they have a dry journey home and that lots of people welcome them back to Barrow.

After that business was settled, Sarah received a shocking phone-call from a UK journalist. Her friends were baffled as to what could be wrong, but when Joanna Hartman returned from England and immediately recognised Sarah's face from magazines and billboards, minds began to boggle. It wasn't until Catherine discovered that Sarah had an ex-fiance in England that the final piece of the puzzle came together. It seemed that Sarah had been engaged to a Lord and they were the toast of the celebrity circuit, so her jilting him was big news. Sarah decided to pack up and leave when she heard that Lord Steven Harrow, her ex-fiance, was on his way to Erinsborough. She left Catherine a note and headed out the back door, only to be photographed by the journalist. She was talked into staying by her sister, but panic set in again when a letter from Steven arrived. Sarah, in a desperate bid to get Steven out of her life forever, asked Danni if she wouldn't mind 'lending' her Luke, so he could pose as her boyfriend. Danni was reluctant at first, but eventually agreed to the plan. When Steven did arrive, he quickly noticed that Luke and Sarah had little chemistry with each other, and her plan was foiled. After talking things through, Steven and Sarah worked through their problems and agreed to part as friends - however, Toadfish Rebecchi's infatuation with his stunning neighbour led to trouble, when Toadie tracked down Steven at his hotel and attempted to pick a fight with him.
With Steven gone, Toadie wrote an anonymous love letter to Sarah, hoping to win her over. Sarah, having found out about how Toadie tried to protect her from Steven, thanked him by giving him a peck on the cheek in the coffee shop. Seen by his friends, he pretended that Sarah was madly in love with him and lapped up the attention he got, unaware of the damage he would later cause Sarah. When Sarah eventually found out, she was furious with Toadie and told him that she wanted nothing more to do with him. Later she realised how much she hurt him, after he confessed everything and apologised, and said that she would love to be friends with him - but nothing more. When Luke left to look after a sick Danni in Malaysia, he announced that his room would be taken over by an old friend, Vince DeBolfo. When Vince arrived, Catherine, Jo and Sarah soon realised he was the housemate from hell! Obsessed with working out, and himself, he treated the women like objects and drove them to the brink of insanity. They soon decided to hatch a plan and get rid of him. Catherine came up with the idea of pretending to have a boyfriend from jail released, and Vince was so scared of what this guy may do to him, that he decided to leave of his own accord.
The girls were now looking for a new housemate, so when new teacher Lisa Elliot arrived, they desperately wanted her to move in with them. However, their constant squabbling and bickering put her off. The girls decided to make up for Lisa's sake, and she moved in a few days later. When Catherine cheated on her boyfriend Mal Kennedy with local bad boy Darren Stark, Sarah supported her and gave her the same advice she was given by Catherine over Steven -- don't run away from your problems. Catherine caught Mal at the airport before he was due to leave and said she wanted to come with him. He allowed her two and the pair got back together, and started a new life in England. With Catherine gone, the girls were looking for a new housemate. When Lisa offered Darren the spare room, Sarah was far from impressed. Sarah palled up with schoolgirl Hannah Martin to give her a makeover, causing problems with Philip who wasn't keen on his daughter wearing make-up. Later, she went on an unsuccessful girls' night out with Lisa and Libby Kennedy - they all got chatted up by the same guy, Alex, who gave them all his business card. Although the three girls agreed to burn the cards, they later caught each other sneaking out to find them.
After landing a job as a barmaid at Lou Carpenter's pub, Sarah realised the work didn't exactly suit her. She found it very difficult to be spoken down to by the male customers and caused Lou a great deal of headaches when she accused one man of sexual harassment. Sarah quit this job and decided to apply for the job as receptionist to Dr. Karl Kennedy at the local practice. Marlene Kratz wasn't exactly beaming when Karl decided to take on another receptionist to job-share with her, so the meddling busy body went out of her way to make Sarah's first day a nightmare. Sarah eventually settled into life at the surgery, much to Marlene's annoyance. When Marlene got wind of the Receptionist of the Year competition, she and Sarah both entered and were driving Karl mad by continually competing against each other. When Marlene did some quick thinking and saved a patient's life, she earned extra points in the competition, but she got a shock when she didn't become a finalist. Sarah thought that she wouldn't even be considered, as she never received a letter from them. However, Marlene didn't tell Sarah that glamour was something they were looking for and she decided to take some awful photos of Sarah on a polaroid camera for her entry. When Sarah found out, she was furious and submitted one of her old modelling photos instead, modestly snapping at Marlene that if glamour was indeed a big element of the contest, she would beat her hands down.
When Sarah was approached by the organisers of the "Receptionist of the Year" competition, she was appalled to learn that it was set up to find a model, not a competent receptionist. She told the representatives that she knew more about modelling than anyone, and would never go back to that life. When left alone at the surgery, Sarah faced an emergency, as a patient suffered breathing problems and she quickly had to hook him up to a respirator. She took matters into her own hands, despite not having any qualifications, and successfully managed to control the situation. Karl praised her for keeping her cool in the difficult situation and she decided to get some basic first-aid training. After Lisa left Ramsay Street and moved to Hobart, Sarah replaced the missing company with a stray dog she found. She and Ben Atkins later allowed boring Robert to move in, but he wasn't all that he seemed. The housemates were worried when they heard him talking to himself from inside his room, but it turned out that he was practising his ventriloquism act. But Bob didn't exactly take a shine to the doll and destroyed it, forcing Robert to leave, devastated. So the house was looking for a new resident once again - Ben put Sarah under pressure by forcing her to let his new girlfriend Angela McGregor move in. Sarah was against couples living together, but she agreed to a trial. However, Sarah was forced to reveal to Ben that Angela had gone back to her ex-boyfriend so they starting interviewing other applicants for the room. A good looking policeman named Matt Compton impressed Sarah, but Ben was dead against the idea after Matt pulled him over for driving an unregistered car.
Matt did end up moving in, and he and Sarah were so attracted to each other that they both agreed they shouldn't be living under the same roof if they wanted a successful relationship together. Sarah and Matt tried to keep their relationship a secret from Ben, but they had such a great time at the police graduation ball that they were worried he would suspect something. Sarah eventually came clean to Ben, but before Ben got to decide if Matt could stay, Sarah was told by her boyfriend that he was leaving Erinsborough and being transferred to a country station in Port Campbell. Matt mustered up some courage and asked Sarah if she would leave with him. With Ben's sister Caitlin having just arrived, Sarah thought that maybe now would be a good time for a fresh start but she decided against it and they agreed on having a long-distance relationship. However, a matter of weeks later, Sarah and Matt decided to call off their relationship, as it simply wasn't working.
Whilst working late at the surgery one day, Sarah let everything get on top of her and broke down and cried. Karl came out to comfort her, and whilst listing her good character traits, the pair unexpectedly shared a kiss. After the moment had passed, Karl told her that he was married and that nothing could come of it. Sarah quickly agreed and said that it was a silly mistake, and that they should carry on as if nothing had happened - but this became increasingly hard for Sarah to do, as she had fallen for Karl. With his wife Susan away during the weeks working at the high school in Wangaratta, it gave Karl and Sarah some alone time. The tension in the surgery became too much, and Karl considered hiring a new receptionist. Sarah became more and more stressed and needed to confess her feelings, so she confided in Ben that she was in love with a married man. When Karl found out about the confession, he was furious with her, worried that Ben would soon manage to work it all out. When Susan returned from Wangaratta, she confronted an awkward Sarah about her romantic problems, unaware it was her husband she was in love with.
Trying to put everything behind them, Karl tried to encourage Sarah's interest in golf, which made Susan suspicious. Susan cracked a joke about the two of them having an affair, and Karl over-reacted. Karl realised after this that he would have to be more careful around Susan. Further suspicions were aroused when Libby saw Sarah trying on a ring at the jeweller's, and Karl buying it for her. After being confronted, Karl managed to explain his way out of it by revealing that it was a gift for Susan and that Sarah had similar hands. A few days later, Karl and Sarah were taking part in a golf tournament. When Sarah leaned back against the guard rail on the edge of the cliff, it gave way behind her and she plunged over the edge. As she was gripping onto the side of the cliff, Karl managed to bring her back to solid ground, and a few days later, she confessed to Ben that she was in love with Karl.
Unable to cope with the pressure, Sarah offered her resignation from the surgery, leaving Harold Bishop to fill her place. More residents were becoming suspicious of the amount of time Karl and Sarah were spending together so she then decided she needed space from Karl, and stayed indoors. She confessed everything to Toadie, who was distraught, as he had to choose between siding with his friend Sarah, or his loco-parentis Susan! Upon hearing of her resignation from the surgery, Susan couldn't understand what would have made Sarah leave her job. Sarah wouldn't give away any details to anyone. She then decided to up and leave Erinsborough, as everything became too much for her -- so she disappeared to a caravan park down the coast. In desperate need of money, she asked Toadie to pawn her jewellery, but soon found that running away from her problems was doing her no good. Karl found out where she was staying and went to see her. He convinced her to return to Erinsborough and offered her a lift back, but due to the unreliability of the Thunderbird, they broke down and were forced to spend the night in a motel together.
Billy Kennedy told his mum that Karl and Sarah were having an affair, something which had been accidentally revealed by Toadie, and at Phil and Ruth's wedding, Susan confronted Karl about it... and the truth finally came out. As the gossip started, Sarah found out how much it divided everyone. Libby forced her best friend Drew Kirk to choose between her and Sarah, and Susan became a wreck. Sarah had since completed her nursing diploma and scored a job at Erinsborough Hospital, which thankfully meant she didn't have to spend her days in Ramsay Street surrounded by whispers and dirty looks. She threw herself into the work and organised an outing for the hospital children with Joel Samuels. Joel persuaded Libby to cover the story for the Erinsborough News, but she only agreed to do so if Sarah wasn't present, leaving Sarah to realise that it would be a long time before her life was back to normal.
After her bag was snatched whilst out shopping, she got a phone-call from the police saying it had been found and asking if she would come and collect it. Of course, it wasn't the police who called, and Sarah's house was robbed while she was out. Toadie managed to catch the young thief by dressing up as a woman! When Sarah later started receiving boxes of frogs on her doorstep, she wondered who could have known about her childhood nickname, Froggy. Sarah was also having problems living with Toadie, and so they decided to go on a dinner date with Toadie's girlfriend Karen, and a guy named Alex Fenton, who Sarah had been working closely with at the hospital. However, Karen and Alex had a terrible evening as Sarah and Toadie spent the entire time bickering. Meanwhile, Sarah had been catching glimpses of a strange man following her and her housemates, but she put it down to her over-active imagination. However, she soon realised that she did indeed have a stalker. Sarah began to suspect that Alex was her mystery stalker and so was relieved when he cheated on her with Karen, giving her a good excuse to end things. However, it was later revealed that the stalker was in fact one of the patients from the hospital, Richard, who had been on the psychiatric ward and was grateful to Sarah for talking to him. After he was arrested, Sarah saw him at the police station and decided to drop the charges, feeling that she couldn't blame him for his actions.
Whilst working at the hospital, Sarah found a patient, Deirdre, in cardiac arrest. When no one came to her assistance after pressing the emergency button, she treated the patient herself and saved her life. Sarah was pleased with what she had done, but due to her lack of qualifications to perform heart massage, she was reprimanded for rescuing the patient and suspended from her job. Despite knowing the trouble it would cause, she went to Karl for advice and he encouraged her to fight her corner. Her troubles weren't over as Paul McClain and Tad Reeves located a nude picture of Sarah on the Internet. Realising the picture was a fake, Sarah got her own back on Tad by taking a picture of him in the shower and spreading it around Erinsborough High.
After being reinstated at the hospital, Sarah's mother Bess O'Brien turned up in Ramsay Street and decided to stay, also revealing to everyone her daughter's real name - Shakira! Bess was sorry for neglecting Sarah and decided to become the perfect mother. However, relations between mother and daughter were strained to say the least, as Sarah found it difficult to cope with her mother's attitudes and interference, especially when she wanted to start a campaign about the closure of the local reservoir. Bess returned home soon after, happy in the knowledge that she had gone some way to making peace with her daughter.
With Karl and Susan's relationship steadily getting back on track, the last thing they needed was Sarah and Susan at loggerheads with each other! When Susan accidentally ran over Sarah's dog Bob, Sarah believed it was deliberate and Susan was distraught that she could even think such a thing. Sarah eventually accepted that it was an accident, but the incident went some way to repairing some of the tension between Sarah and the Kennedys. Lou later persuaded Sarah and Joel to promote his new alcoholic drink, Pear Passion, for him. They reluctantly agreed, but the promotion was a disaster, as Sarah and Joel, dressed as Adam and Eve, were arguing at the top of their lungs over whether or not Joel's girlfriend Sally Upton should move into Number 30 as the curtain rolled back.
Later, Bess set Sarah up with an aid worker she knew from Medicins Sans Frontieres. Sarah was expecting a hippie like her mother, but Peter Hannay was closer to being the man of her dreams. After a whirlwind romance, he proposed to Sarah and she accepted. However, a matter of days before the wedding, she admitted to Toadie that she couldn't go through with it as she was still in love with Karl. Toadie talked some sense into her, saying that she could never have Karl, as he was in love with Susan, and that she would never be happy unless she got him out of her system. The wedding was back on, but disaster struck on the big day. The wedding car failed to arrive, so Karl offered to give Sarah a lift to the church in the Thunderbird. The car broke down once again and so the unlikely pair ended up being brought to the church in a police car, much to the surprise of everyone and the humiliation of Susan. The ceremony went off without a hitch however and Sarah prepared to say her farewells. Whilst getting ready to go in the vestry, Karl popped in and told Sarah how beautiful she looked. The pair couldn't resist and kissed again, and were almost caught by Peter. After the wedding reception, Sarah left Erinsborough with Peter to start a new life in Amsterdam.
In 2001, Karl and Sarah were to meet again at Mal and Cath's wedding, where Sarah revealed that she and Peter had had their first child, Antigone. In 2003, Sarah unexpectedly contacted Karl to ask about a reference. It transpired that she and Peter had separated and she had moved to Norwich, where she was making a fresh start and looking for work. A spiteful Susan reworded some of the reference before Karl sent it and so, by way of revenge, Sarah sent them several bags of manure, which were dumped on their front garden.
