L-Soft Launches Software Facilitating E-Mail Marketing Industry's Move Away From Third-Party Hosting
New European Software Enables Companies To Run Campaigns In-House
London, 23 January, 2002 – L-Soft, creator of LISTSERV®, the widely deployed e-mail list management software, announced today the launch of LISTSERV® Maestro, a new product developed to provide companies with sophisticated e-mail marketing capabilities in-house. By offering LISTSERV Maestro on a licensed basis, L-Soft becomes one of the first companies to respond to a growing demand, also acknowledged by Forrester, for secure, cost-effective e-mail marketing software that is quick to install and easy-to-use.
"Companies are increasingly turning to e-mail to drive site traffic and build customer relationships," said Eric Thomas, L-Soft Founder and CEO. "E-mail cuts campaign production and delivery costs, especially when using in-house solutions such as LISTSERV Maestro. Some of the savings are usually passed on to the customer in the form of more attractive, carefully targeted special offers."
LISTSERV Maestro's easy-to-use Web interface guides marketers through each step of campaign development, including message creation, response tracking and reporting. LISTSERV Maestro's tracking reports provide quick feedback and enable marketers to quantify the success of campaigns in real time, giving them the freedom to immediately adjust their strategies and realise greater success rates. LISTSERV Maestro identifies whether recipients open up messages or click through to URLs embedded within messages.
"Campaign managers will be able to improve e-mail marketing planning, implementation and effectiveness with LISTSERV Maestro," said Thomas. "The complexity of marketing campaigns will increase, but companies that invest in precise targeting will be rewarded with higher ROI and better long-term customers relationships."
The initial high-capacity version of LISTSERV Maestro allows companies to conduct large-scale e-mail marketing campaigns in-house for a modest investment. L-Soft will soon integrate LISTSERV Maestro into its hosting services and introduce limited-capacity licensing packages, enabling companies and organisations of all sizes to implement professional e-mail marketing campaigns.
LISTSERV Maestro:
- Determines whether recipients have opened up messages
- Establishes whether recipients have clicked through to embedded URLs located within a message
- Allows marketers to choose from several levels of privacy protection settings
- Personalises messages by extracting customer information from databases
- Provides online tracking reports in real-time and allows marketers to download reports in Excel files
- Allows messages to be sent in text, HTML or multi-part formats
- Sends graphic, audio, video and other files
- Delegates operational tasks among team members
- Schedules delivery so marketers do not have to be present when messages are sent
- Handles bounced or undeliverable messages
- Blocks the delivery of messages containing computer viruses with the F-Secure® Anti-Virus System

Die Antwoord have a new and controversial video for "Fatty Boom Boom" which you can watch below.
Still no word on the identity of the body found near Austin Music Hall.
Maybe you heard it's CMJ week here in NYC and we're already tired and we haven't even seen any shows yet. But we are pumped to be throwing two day parties on at Public Assembly. Saturday's line-up hasn't been announced yet, but you can check out Friday's (10/19, including METZ, Savages and The Intelligence) here.
We also are sad to report that, despite what the flyer says, Sharon Van Etten is NOT playing that Thursday day party at Ace Hotel.
A "Million Muppet March" is being planned in Washington DC on November 3 (three days before the election) to protest Mitt Romney's pledge to cut funding to PBS if elected president. The second of three Presedential Debates happens tonight at 9 PM EDT... UPDATE:
Speaking of, Menomena just toured through NYC and played Music Hall of Williamsburg and Bowery Ballroom.
The Lollipop King is suing South Park.

Mr Wilson this week called for education secretary Michael Gove to "condemn" Reading Borough Council for its anti-academies policy at a session of Education Questions in the House of Commons.
He asked Mr Gove to reaffirm the Government's commitment to "putting children first rather than party political dogma", and said: "Their opposition is based on out-dated left wing dogma, putting party politics first, and pupils' educational chances second. They need to listen to the progressive voices in their party such as Lord Adonis and Tony Blair, who both support academies.
"The Academies programme has huge potential to drive up standards and should be supported by those who purport to lead the council, not denigrated and attacked by Labour councillors who should know better."
Last month, The Chronicle reported exclusively that Reading's education leader, Cllr John Ennis, had attacked plans to "privatise" schools, saying setting up more academies will "create the most centralised education system ever in this country or any other."
He added: "We are proud of the work we have done in partnership with headteachers, teachers, governors, parents, pupils and the wider community to drive up education standards in Reading - our schools are getting their best results ever.
"Of course we know there are some schools where progress has not been as fast as it should and we are committed to working with those schools to get it right."
Academies in Reading include John Madejski Academy and Prospect School - which was once deemed ineffective by Ofsted but leaped up to a 'good' rating in January last year.
But Mr Gove said: "More than half of secondary schools are academies or on route to becoming academies. Those who attack the academies programme are attacking the majority of state schools in this country.
"That is why it is such a pity there are people in the Labour party who are enemies of state education, when there are so many great head teachers who are taking advantage of academy freedoms to raise standards for all."

ShinStyle loves: Asda's Christmas Pin Up dress collection which flatters those legs
Today is definitely the day to get those purses out. First Jonathan Saunder's collection for Topshop hit stores and now Asos's collection for curvy women has just been available online.
The Asos Curve range includes dresses, tops, bottoms, outerwear and swimwear for size 20-26 women and will be updated every season.
The online retailer said the capsule collection consists of "key trend-led pieces including jersey, tailoring, knitwear and outerwear taken from the main own-label range and adapted to fit the curvier figure."
We hope other retailers (namely Selfridges) take note of this gorgeous collection and follow suit.

A research survey was conducted to find out which diagnostic classification systems were commonly used in university hospitals in Japan. By using a questionnaire, we collected data to determine which diagnostic classification systems and diagnostic criteria were being used to identify schizophrenia, affective (mood) disorders, and neurosis. The results indicated that most university hospitals used either the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) of the WHO or the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) of the American Psychiatric Association. For research of academic presentations, more than 60% of the surveyed institutions used DSM. In clinical settings, however, ICD and DSM were used with similar frequencies (42–43%). It was also noted that 15% of institutions still use a traditional psychiatric diagnosis for schizophrenia and mood disorders. This paper addresses historical aspects of the diagnosis and classification of mental illness in Japan.

AUSTIN, Texas — Five students at The University of Texas School of Law have been awarded the first Rapoport Summer Fellowships by the Law School's recently-established Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice.
The fellowships will support UT law students interning during the summer with institutions that promote international or transnational human rights. The host institutions include non-profit, governmental, and non-governmental organizations.
"We are delighted to support these extremely qualified students in their diverse pursuits of the Center's mission to promote the economic and political enfranchisement of marginalized individuals and groups," said UT Law Professor Karen Engle, director of the Center for Human Rights and Justice.
The following students received Rapoport Summer Fellowships for 2005:
Jane Collins (BA 2001, Middlebury College) will intern in the Ministry of the Environment in Brasília, Brazil, working on issues of human rights and environmental law by focusing on biotechnology and bioprospecting, under the supervision of the chief legal counsel. Collins has a background in Latin American Studies with a disciplinary focus on sociology. She is pursuing a joint master's degree at UT's Institute of Latin American Studies and the School of Law. She spent her junior year in Argentina, where she also spent a summer interning with a human rights non-governmental organization (NGO) in Buenos Aires. She spent another summer volunteering for a national park in Patagonia.
Allen Cooper (BA 1991, Swarthmore College; MPP 2003, Princeton) will intern with the Fairness in Flowers campaign. This program, administered by the International Labor Rights Fund in Washington D.C., is aimed at improving working conditions at flower plantations in Ecuador and Colombia, which provide most of the flowers sold in the United States. Cooper recently completed a six-month project in Chile looking at land claims of the indigenous Mapuche people. With 10 years experience of community organizing in the United States, he plans to pursue a career in human rights advocacy. Cooper's internship with the Fairness in Flowers campaign grows out of his work this spring with UT Law School's new Transnational Worker Rights Clinic. The Rapoport Center is co-sponsoring his internship along with the William Wayne Justice Center for Public Interest Law at UT Law.
Melina De La Garza (BA 2003, New York University) will intern at the Kosovo Law Center, a legal think tank in Pristina, Serbia-Montenegro. She will assist with legal research and analysis dealing with human rights violations toward minorities and with murders committed post-war. De La Garza hopes to pursue a career in public international law. In 2003-04 she worked for NGOs in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, on issues concerning refugees and displaced persons, and did research on the effects of a woman's candidacy for public office. Last summer, she returned to Bosnia to intern with the American Refugee Committee. She has also been an intern at the United Nations and in the Dallas office of U.S. Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson.
Emily Jolly (BA 2004, Rice University) will serve as an associate with the Children and Armed Conflict program of CARE International in New York. She will assist with the development of a network of CARE members working on children's rights and protection during times of armed conflict. Jolly is the first-year representative of UT Law's Human Rights Law Society. As an undergraduate, she taught English and history to middle school students (in addition to several other teaching experiences) and spent a semester abroad at the University of London. After obtaining her bachelor's degree in English and political science, she worked as the interim director of the education department at the Hall of State Museum run by the Dallas Historical Society.
John Tustin (BA 1998, Rice University) will work with the international program of the Environmental Law Institute in Washington, D.C. His legal research and writing at the institute will focus on domestic and international law and policy related to the environment and sustainability. Since graduating from Rice, Tustin has worked as a teacher for the Peace Corps in Cameroon, West Africa, and as a legislative assistant on Capitol Hill for U.S. Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson. He interned last summer at the Ministry of the Environment in Brasília, Brazil. He hopes to pursue a career in public international law, focusing on his particular interests in trade, environment, and international law in developing countries.

One Night In Cape Town comes to town this week - For one night only!
Natalie Roos
Natalie Roos' body was born in Johannesburg… but her soul was always Capetonian. At the age of 14, Natalie started work in the television industry, presenting popular local kids TV show, KTV. Ten years and another TV job later (presenting celebrity gossip show JIP on Afrikaans music channel MK), Natalie made the move down to Cape Town where she started her blog, Tails of a Mermaid (www.tailsofamermaid.com). Her love for the internet and all things communication-driven became a natural progression to a career in Social Media, where she worked in an agency managing the online presence, content and reputation of various brands.
Natalie's passions include cats, communication and Cape Town.
En route to their festival performances at Oppikoppi up North at the weekend, these three mega-acts will perform at the Grand Arena at Grand West on Thursday night only, the 8th of August at One Night In Cape Town. The show starts early with the first act on stage at 7pm, so make sure you get there in time.
American indie rockers Manchester Orchestra will hit the stage first with a playlist which will hopefully span all three of their studio albums, including many hits from their most recent, Simple Math. South Africans will most likely know the next act best for their single "Ocean Avenue", which peaked at #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the early 2000's. With seven studio albums and almost 15 years together under their belts, this American punk rock band is sure to deliver a killer performance.
Founded 25 years ago and with seven albums and a Grammy Award for "Best Metal Performance" to their credit, the final act hardly needs any introduction. For the first time on a South African stage, Deftones, with their cult following and reputation for being incredible live are sure to thrill the audience as they end the evening's show.
Tickets are available at www.plankton.mobi or on the One Night In Cape Town Facebook Page. The show is over-18's only and you will be asked to show proof of ID at the door.
For information on future Cape Town events, check out our events page.

Nice story, Peter!
I began working on the Tartine recipe last summer and got it into pretty good shape and visited the bakery last fall. A real treat. Chad's approach has definitely influenced my personal bread style. And helped me move the lever up another notch!
Thanks for the story!
#2 2011-05-17 04:29
Where might I find the recipe? Best recipe I've found yet comes from the book, 52 Loaves. I built a wood-fired oven in my backyard and discovered Pizza Mozza's dough recipe which is by far the best pizza dough recipe out there, but have yet to find a bread recipe that can work with the oven.
#3 2011-05-17 09:36
The recipe is in the book Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson published last year. Half the book is about how he makes the bread. There are a few variations - and quite a few ideas for using old bread.
#4 2011-05-19 21:41
Hello, I recently bought Chad's book "Tartine" I have made the bread recipe 4 times and the bread is fantastic, my question though is about the size of the loaf. In the video above the loaves are almost twice the size of mine at home. Mine seem to rise fine and just about hit the lid of the 6 qt. dutch oven so I was curious if the ones at the his bakery have a different quantity of ingredients ? Thanks, Kevin
#5 2011-05-20 04:51
Tartine Bakery's loaves are both somewhat larger and differently shaped than the loaves described in the book. Loaves in the book are smaller so they will fit in the cast iron cooker.
#6 2011-05-21 00:06
Thanks Jay, I appreciate your help. I had another question if you don't mind. I was wondering about leaving the bread in the fridge after the rise ? Is longer than 12 hours something to be avoided or could you go longer if needed ? I am really new at this so please excuse me for being so green ! Thanks so much ! Kevin Glasky
#7 2011-05-21 05:57
Hi Kev!
The formal Tartine recipe does not have a refrigerated retard and Chad's process does not have a good window for a retard during bulk fermentation because you are folding on the half hour until about the last hour. Retarding after loaf forming is possible (as Chad suggests) but Tartine loaves proof fast and a lot of people seem to have problems with overproofing using Chad's times, so retarding is likely produce overproofed loaves. (Reason is that the loaves are likely to be halfway proofed before they cool down enough to slow down). I have had enough trouble with overproofing Tartine that I don't recommend it though it will no doubt give more complex flavor. IF you know you want to retard I think I would reduce the amount of preferment in the final dough so it will take longer to proof. I suspect Chad's 12 hour limit reflects his aversion to overproofing. Once cold, the dough is not rising very fast so if time dictates it needs to be 18 or 24 hrs so be it.
#8 2011-06-01 08:39
My husband gave me the Tartine book for Christmas and our bread has never been the same. I've found the rhythm of the recipe and can make it without any effort. My grown children beg for it and friends want to buy it. I've found that the cooker works great for the Italian bread that I was baking before the tartine. My thanks to Chad for taking the time to share his gift with all of us.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu at USF in Tampa
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday
South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu spoke last night at the USF SunDome on the topic of "No Future Without Forgiveness."
"There is no way in which we are going to win so-called 'wars against terror.' As long as there are conditions in the world which make people desperate."
Tutu won the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize because of his work for racial justice in apartheid South Africa. He still struggles for peace.
"When we spend obscene amounts of money on what we call 'defense' budgets. When we fully know that just a minute fraction of those budgets would insure that God's children everywhere, our sisters and brothers, members of our family, would have clean water to drink, enough food to eat"
Tutu was asked by reporters about how Hurricane Katrina exposed economic and racial disparities in America and whether he thought that racial tensions exist in this country. An incredulous Tutu replied:
"[laughter] You can't be serious! When people for instance clobber us in South Africa for the huge disparities between the rich and the poor. And you try to say to people, 'we've been free only 11 years & you've been free centuries.' Look at the disparities that you have which were exposed so horrendously by Katrina."
In December 1995, South African President Nelson Mandela appointed Tutu to head the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. He thinks the United States needs a similar process to heal from the wounds of slavery, racism, and the genocide of native Americans.
"There is an unacknowledged pain that sits in the pit of the tummy of almost every African-American, of every Native American. That you need to come to terms with the legacy of slavery you want to look at the particular beast in the eye. You want to look at the legacy of the dispossession of those who were the first inhabitants of this land."
Tutu stressed that if reconciliation could successfully occur in South Africa, where apartheid and racist violence flourished for so long, this healing is something that should also be a goal in the United States.
"The wound has not healed, it is festering. Take the risk of opening the wound. Take the risk of then cleansing that wound. And then pour a soothing balm."
Several thousand people were in attendance and Tutu thanked them and everyone who struggled to end apartheid in South Africa
"People boycotted South African goods on our behalf. People held rallies and vigils and demonstrations on our behalf. People were ready even to go to jail on our behalf. We asked for help, you gave the help and look at us today. We're free."
WMNF asked Tutu what he thought about the continued imprisonment of Dr. Sami Al-Arian, who has spoken out against the persecution of Palestinans. Tutu replied that he doesn't know the specifics of this case but it is up to Americans to decide whether he is in prison for his political views.
"As you are aware, the so-called 'war against terror' has been used to justify quite a lot of things. To justify Guantanamo Bay. To justify limiting civil liberties. So I think it is you who have to say is it that he is being turned into a scapegoat or what."
Archbishop Tutu ended his lecture with a call for security through justice rather than through violence.

"It is possible to get real security, not from the barrel of a gun, but from the fact that people begin to enjoy justice."

The Press Union of Liberia (PUL) will Tuesday, January 15, open a Book of Condolence in memory of fallen Liberian journalist Emmanuel Kolubahwu Mulbah.
The signing of the book begins at 11 a.m. at the Union's Clay Street headquarters.
Journalist Mulbah suddenly died on Saturday, January 5th at the St. Joseph Catholic Hospital due to what medical practitioners called "heart failure."
He is reported to have collapsed while playing "Old-timers" football in Paynesville and was pronounced dead shortly upon arrival at the Catholic Hospital.
He was video stringer for the Reuters News Agency and also served the Liberian media for 20 with various institutions including the State Television (ELTV), Kiss TV , Ducor Broadcasting Corporation (DCTV) ), Sarafina Ventures and Communications Incorporated (Love TV) and Power TV.
Prior to his death, Emmanuel who regularly played for the Press Union's football team - The Pen Pushers - served as Executive Director of Developmental Media Inc, a media NGO.
The Press Union has since extended profound sympathy to the immediate family, describing the loss as another fatal blow to the media profession.
Meanwhile, during Tuesday's Book signing, the PUL will accept contributions from journalists and members of the public for Mulbah's burial and treatment of two other journalists who are terminally ill. The PUL is requesting each journalist to contribute at least US$5.

Early morning alarm clocks, holiday music, friends and of course --- amazing deals --- these are the staples of any perfect Black Friday shopping trip. But the question may arise --- what to wear?! While pajamas may be tempting at that time of day -- we think there is a way to be both functional and fashionable for your Black Friday shopping.
Dress comfortably and in layers. Being comfortable while you shop is extremely important and layered clothes will allow you to easily adjust no matter what the temperature is inside or out. Read on for specific tips
Scarf - A wide scarf is a perfect fashion for Black Friday shopping. This versatile piece will help to keep you warm while awaiting for doors to open as well as is easily tucked into your bag when your temperature heats up. Not to mention -- these scarves with cute prints really can tie together your outfit.
Comfortable Shoes - It may be tempting to throw on a pair of tall boots -- but these can create a little too much work for the fitting rooms. That's why we prefer either well soled boots or supportive flats.
Tunic - Chances are you are going to be bending over and on the move -- the last thing you want to worry about is showing too much skin or appear like a plumber. A tunic keeps you covered but is still flattering. Choose the weight based on your local weather.
Skinny Jeans or Leggings - Some people love them and others can't stand them -- but today is a day where leggings are completely acceptable -- as long as your covered by your tunic. While somewhat non-traditional, we recommending Lululemon's tights to be worn as leggings. The thicker material provides a more streamlined look and the breath ability keeps your temperature right no matter the weather. Prefer something more substantial --- opt for some skinny jeans with a bit of stretch.
Watch - Of course you likely have a cell phone that keeps the time; but wearing a watch is a must do for Black Friday -- with various opening hours and so many places to visit -- a watch can keep you on track and is handier than digging through your bag to check the time.
Cross Body Bag - Cross body bags are currently on trend, so this is an easy option that makes sense for shopping. A handbag with a strap that you can put across your body and keep in front of you will allow you more freedom to carry your purchases. A shoulder bag can get heavy and slip down, while a clutch is more easily misplaced. Pack your purse for just the essentials you need for your day of shopping to keep your handbag light.

Gear Review
New Trident is great...
Got the Kayak and took a couple days to get my stuff set up for it and used it the other day on the James River at Dutch Gap. First stroke of the paddle and it slid through the water like grease. I was really amazed and like not having to stuff my long legs down inside the Yak. It is well made and I've figured out how to use the foam blocks and ties on the suv. Very helpful to have two wheeled dolly to move it on the ground which I do but I am very impressed. This is my third kayak and the longest and most multi purpose. I even got a freshwater fishing license today. I'm leading a group of 7 paddlers on Wednesday with it on Jones Neck's Oxbow which is about a six mile paddle. The others are far more experienced than I am but I am confident I'll learn and keep up just fine. I am most impressed with the Trident which I added a rudder to. As I'm right handed my right side is stronger and the tiny touch of the rudder helps make it track while I learn to paddle equally strongly with both sides. It tracks just fine without the rudder but the rudder gives you that much more control...and in the wind I'm told they really help keep the bow from pointing up but haven't seen that yet. Several bass boats rolled by and left big wakes...easy to take them quartering into them with this Yak, easy. Bow has plenty of buoyancy. click this link to see its first use yesterday. http://albums.phanfare.com/slideshow.aspx?i=1&db=1&pw=SA7jdcpZ&a_id=5505203
you may have to cut and paste the link in your browser on this site but the album shows it in the water in use, on my tbss suv which has no roof rack and which Yakima and Thule have NO fittings for as it's a special Corvette powered 4:10 rear end, road racing GM Performance Group

Empowering people to attack poverty in their life and community.
Empowering people to attack poverty in their life and community.
Strengthen under-resourced communities through spiritual growth, education, revitalization and basic needs.
Strengthen under-resourced communities through spiritual growth, education, revitalization and basic needs.
Attack = "To begin to deal with a problem or task in a determined and vigorous way"
Poverty = "Powerless, disenfranchised, lacking well-being and the resources to obtain well-being"
Three foundational beliefs that drive us:Our work involves partnering with the local church to adopt pockets of poverty and launching what we call: "FRIENDS INITIATIVES". We love bringing together communities of resource with communities of need. Our Friends Initiatives are long-term partnerships with local churches, residents and stakeholders who are committed to community transformation. Our initiatives include: clean water-projects, in-school student support, after school programs, literacy, GED completion, job readiness training and home repair.
- There are two types of poverty: Situational and Generational. We focus on breaking the cycles of generational poverty.
- Generational poverty cannot be changed with small, soft-hearted plans. It must be directly addressed with great intention through mutual relationships.
- Generational poverty is a complicated spiritual, relational, mental-attitude, educational and financial issue.
2009 – Richard Logan became the Missions Pastor at River Pointe Church and began to research areas in close proximity to his church with a high concentration of need. One day he got in his car and just began to drive. Remembering people talking several years ago about an "at-risk" area on the North side of the railroad tracks in downtown Richmond; Richard decided to go and take a look for himself. He was so moved by the need and possibilities for the church to partner with others in the community to bring about lasting transformation. After many conversations with city leaders, stakeholders, local residents, and pastors, Friends of North Richmond was born!
2010 – Friends of Uganda initiative is launched as a result of a tremendous partnership between River Pointe Church, Africa Renewal Ministries and Living Water International. Friends of North Richmond continues to grow, mobilizing over 400 volunteers in it's first year! Sustainability discussions begin regarding these "Friends" initiatives including the potential development of a 501c(3). Excitement in the community is building!
2011 – In an effort to mobilize more churches and set the stage for future growth, Attack Poverty is founded by Richard Logan and begins non-profit application process. In December we were granted 501c3 status! This was an amazing year, here are the highlights: We sponsored the drilling of 3 bore holes in Rushere, Uganda; had a documentary made highlighting our work: "Uganda Man"; started an after school program in North Richmond, TX called You Can Academy; mobilized 939 amazing people to serve through Friends of North Richmond and Friends of Uganda; and River Pointe Church raised funds on our behalf to purchase land and build a permanent ministry headquarters!
2012– Richard Logan steps off the River Pointe Church staff team to lead Attack Poverty in a full-time capacity. Attack Poverty purchases land in North Richmond and begins putting together plans for a Neighborhood Resources Center which will become the hub for all of their work in North Richmond, as well as house the Attack Poverty Office Headquarters. Church partnership grows from one church to nine and counting! A second You Can Academy is launched. The total number of volunteers mobilized to serve in North Richmond and Rushere Uganda tops well over one thousand, making this year the highest level of community involvement to-date!

The most boring bike you've ever ridden
Posting this in road warriors because blacktop is boring, right?
Unlike most people, I seem to actually gravitate towards "boring" bikes. Words like appliance and bland sound like synonyms for "workhorse" and "reliable" to me. I hear linear power delivery and 50+ mpg and I get unexcited!
A few choice quotes about boring bikes, bike models removed to protect the guilty:
What's the most boring bike you've ever ridden? What was so boring about it? What bikes failed to achieve the pinnacle of boringness?
What bikes have a pulse-calming, breath-regulating, drool-correcting effect every time you ride or look at them?
My entry, a bike so boring I can't even find a decent image more recent than the summer 2011:
I had a DL-1000 V-Strom. Utterly boring. Even more boring than the 2008 KLR-650 I had. At least with the KLR is could go off road in the winter and get stuck in the snow......
Gold Wing GL1800. Turbine smooth motor has no soul. Faring so protects you from the wind it's a non-issue. Gages and dash looks like any other Japanese sedan. Other than the lack of foot room leading to some discomfort, there is no sensory stimulation from that motorcycle,
2005 Honda shadow 750. After riding it for one hour, I had to pay attention not to fall asleep. Crappy acceleration with turd like suspension:D. Plus it's it's way too smooth for a v twin. At least if it would vibrate, but barely.:puke1
I have a feeling that the HONDA brand name will be figuring rather highly in this thread :lol3
Here's one I got just before Xmas, and sold it within a week - but I did make + 60% on it :clap
The Engineering may be pretty good - but they make them too bland and easy to ride......
I have never been bored while riding any motorcycle and I hope I never am.
Ninja 250. I use to wrench at a kawi dealer, and i would dread having to fix or prep a new one when sold. You could take a brand new one, fuel it up and put it on the rev limiter with 30 sec of run time and would do nothing for it good or bad. Purchased one for my wife. It was her first bike. After her first ride, she asked me " are all of these turd slow?" Yes dear they are. They say how great a beginners bike they are, but i think they produce one bike and done riders because of the no frills, no thrills package.
I had a 1970's something Honda 350 four cylinder. Bought it on payments from my brother. It was my only transportation for awhile in the 1970's. It was bad above 50 mph.
And not much excitement below that speed. Noveltly bike, but who needs all them cylinders.
It was green, like this one.
Got a KLR now. ANd I'm happy. I also have some deep emotional problems :puke1
I've ridden a lot of "scary" (slow, ill handleing, brakes) motorcycles but never really been bored on one. The most unexciting one would have to be a BMW RT (cb750 right up there but with enough scary to not win). If ya want unexciting and scary; Honda cb350.
There are no boring motorcycles. :norton
There are a lot of boring motorcyclists though. :nod
Yamaha V-Star... what a piece of crap, good thing I borrowed it just to borrow it.
vstrom dl1000 - rode it dreaming about riding my vmax
Suzuki Bandit

40 years later, Woodstock still fascinates
BETHEL, N.Y. Forty years after Richie Havens sang and strummed for a sea of people at Woodstock, he still gets asked about it and he still gets requests to sing "Freedom."
He's not surprised.
"Everything in my life, and so many others', is attached to that train," Havens said.
The young hippies who watched the sun come up with The Who in 1969 are now eligible for early bird specials. Many of the bands are broken up or missing members who died. But Woodstock remains one of those events – like the moon landing earlier that summer – that continues to define the 1960s in the popular imagination.
Consider the bumper crop of Woodstock nostalgia marking the 40th anniversary. There's a new director's cut DVD of the concert movie, a remastered concert CD, director Ang Lee's rock 'n' roll comedy "Taking Woodstock" and a memoir by promoter Michael Lang. There are also performances scheduled by Woodstock veterans at the old site, now home to a '60s museum and an outdoor concert pavilion.
The Woodstock legend stems from big names such as Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin playing at a show where everything went wrong but turned out right.
The town of Woodstock didn't want the concert and promoters were bounced from another site at the 11th hour. Lang settled on a hay field in Bethel owned by a kindly dairy farmer named Max Yasgur. The concert did come off Aug. 15-18, 1969, but barely. Fences were torn down, tickets became useless. More than 400,000 people converged on this rural corner 80 miles northwest of New York City, freezing traffic for miles. Then the rains doused everything.
It should have been a disaster. But Americans tuning in to the evening news that weekend saw smiling, dancing, muddy kids. By the time the concert movie came out months later, Woodstock was a symbol of the happy, hippie side of the '60s spirit.
It still is.
Baby boomers are the "Woodstock Generation" – not the "Monterey Generation" or the "Altamont Generation." Bethel's onsite museum has logged more than 70,000 visitors since last summer, a fair number of them college students born well after Woodstock. A roadside monument there regularly logs visitors from around the planet.
"It's almost a pilgrimage," said Wade Lawrence, director of the Museum at Bethel Woods. "It's like going to a high school reunion, or it's like visiting a grave site of a loved one."
From Lollapalooza to All Points West, there have been plenty of big festivals focused on youth culture. The continent-hopping Live Aid shows of 1985 did that and more, enlisting top names such as U2 and Madonna to fight hunger in Africa. None have the cultural cachet of Woodstock. Who would ever ask a Generation X-er: "Were you really at Live Aid?"
People who went to Woodstock say the crowd set it apart as much as the music. The trippy anarchy of Woodstock has become legend: lots of nudity, casual sex, dirty (and muddy) dancing, open drug use. The stage announcer famously warned people to steer clear of the brown acid.

The teen, who prefers to remain unnamed, told Yediot Aharonot daily that she was attacked on Sunday (30 December 2012) because of her 'lesbian look'.
The 17 year old was walking down the street, a route routinely taken by her in the past two years, when she was mobbed and assaulted.
She said: 'It was the middle of the afternoon.
'I was wearing my headphones and I passed a bus stop for yeshiva boys.
'There was a small group there. I passed them by and a few seconds later I started hearing yelling.
'I took my headphones off and turned around, and realized that they were shouting at me.
'They were yelling "lesbian" and "is it a boy or a girl?" and then they started throwing rocks at me.
'Once they saw I was hurt they ran away. I didn't chase them – I just got out of there.
'I was shocked. I never thought something like this could happen.
'I pass through this neighborhood every day. I did nothing provocative – it's not like I was wearing the rainbow flag on my back. I was minding my own business. I wasn't bothering anyone.
'Why did they mob me? They were judging me based on my appearance – and they were right, the way I look isn't misleading – but the fact that a woman has a short hairdo doesn't mean anything.
'I'm not active anywhere, they couldn't have recognized me from anywhere. It was all about the way I look'.
The stones hit the teen's face and bruised her.
She along with her mother filed a complaint with the Israeli police.
'My mother is livid. She insisted that we file a complaint with the police and make this incident public. She's right. This is 2013 – these things shouldn't happen'.
The teen said that despite the attack she will not be intimidated: 'I'm a little scared but I'll walk through there again. I see no reason not to. They shouldn't affect my life in any way'.
The police confirmed that a complaint was filed, saying that the matter was under investigation.
Rabbi Dr. Aharon Lichtenstein, a leading Orthodox scholar in Israel, recently called for more tolerance towards LGBT people.
Discriminating on the ground of sexuality is prohibited according to Israeli law.

The December 10th WWE RAW did a 2.67 rating with 3.76 million
Hey bloggers,
I got a bone to pick with WWE. I'm usually not one to lose my cool on things related to TV entertainment and I usually tolerate a lot of the crap most fans hate. However, one thing that's been frustrating me is what seems to be WWE's obssession of giving us the same damn matches over and over again. And not just the same matches; its the same match, with the same outcome,

Yet another bad week in ratings for WWE. The company seems to be stuck in this revolving circle of below average ratings this time a year. This isn't a good sign at all. Until something is done to make the product interesting again, the numbers will continue to drop below average. Let's be honest. Was this RAW a bad show? Not necessarily, but it wasn't eventful
The three main events of Wrestlemania 28 were marvelous, with the highlight being Triple H vs The Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell, with Shawn Michaels as the Special Referee. It'll be hard to top that, obviously, but here we go:

CHEYENNE - If you were one of the hunters who accessed the Game and Fish website shortly after 8 a.m. on July 10 or 17 to get a leftover license and found that the area you wanted was gone, you weren't alone.
"How could the licenses sell out so fast," asked one hunter who had gone online several minutes after 8 a.m. on July 10 for an antelope license only to find out that licenses in the area he wanted were no longer available.
Similar stories were voiced by hunters who had lined up before 8 a.m. at Game and Fish offices on July 10 and July 17 to be one of the first in line. Leftover full-price elk, deer, and antelope licenses went on sale at 8 a.m. on July 10 and reduced price cow/calf elk and doe fawn deer and antelope licenses were released a week later on July 17.
More than 2,500 full price licenses were sold in the first 30 minutes after 8 a.m. on July 10 and over 5,500 reduced price licenses were sold within the first half hour after the 8 a.m. starting time on July 17.
The answer to how license could go so fast is a result of the computer age, but issuing licenses via computer is not new. For several years the Game and Fish has been issuing leftover licenses online via the Game and Fish website.
"Before 8 a.m. on the license release dates there were hundreds of people who had already logged in, waiting for the licenses to be released," said Game and Fish computer programmer Tom Graham. "On the morning of July 10 we looked at the activity on our website and 1,200 people were already logged in and waiting for the licenses to be released at 8 a.m."
Numerous people were also waiting at license agents and Game and Fish offices, but Graham said licenses are sold at those facilities the same way they are on your home computer. "At Game and Fish offices, a hunter's personal information must be entered by the Game and Fish employee, and by the time that gets taken care of, others who were already online had often taken the available licenses in some of the areas," Graham said. "Essentially, the people who were waiting at offices had 1,200 people ahead of them in the line on July 10 and about 1,600 folks on the 17th."
Graham said that one popular antelope area that had 184 licenses remaining only lasted 12 seconds before all of the licenses had been reserved. "Once a hunter indicates a license choice, that license is reserved for up to 30minutes to allow the hunter time to complete the credit card information to purchase the license," Graham said. "If the hunter has not purchased the license after 30 minutes, that license is released and will show up on the website as an available license. The first applicants who apply for those licenses once they are released will be the ones who get them."
"Sometimes areas show up on the leftover list as having licenses available, but when a hunter goes to purchase these licenses the screen shows licenses are not available," said Graham. "This is because those licenses on the leftover list have not yet been paid for, but are still reserved while the customer has a chance to complete the purchase. Licenses are removed from the leftover list once the financial transaction has been completed."
Graham said hunters may wish to monitor the website if licenses are shown on the leftover list in the event that those that are reserved are not paid for within the 30 minute time period. "You may think of the leftover list as being similar to the inventory system in your local big box store," said Graham. "You may go to the shelf looking for a particular television and there are none there, but the store's computer says they have two of them. The fact is that two customers have them in their shopping carts but haven't paid for them yet. Unlike the big box store where the customer may abandon the television in the produce aisle, our license selling system monitors everyone's shopping cart and puts the licenses "back on the shelf" if a customer takes more than 30 minutes to pay for them."
Some people wonder why the Game and Fish does not show an area as being sold out on the leftover list once all of the licenses are reserved.
"We know that there is a good chance that not all of the reserved licenses will be sold within the 30 minute limit,and they will become available again," Graham said. This is especially true when we are looking at the initial crunch when hundreds of licenses for a single area may be reserved in less than a minute. We do not want to create a situation where a sportsperson gives up trying for a particular license because the leftover list said it was sold out, just to find out from a buddy that the leftover list changed as reservations expired, and the buddy managed to get the license that we said was already sold out."
Even with the flurry of license buying activity there are a number of areas that still have licenses remaining. For deer and antelope, most of those licenses are on private land areas and hunters are advised to secure a place to hunt before obtaining a license. Some of the reduced price cow/calf elk licenses are for private land areas, but a number are available on national forest lands. A complete listing of areas with leftover licenses and application information is available on the Game and Fish website http://wgfd.wyo.gov.

Idris Davies is a figure of importance in the history of modern English-language writing from Wales. An author of prose as well as of verse, the oeuvre he produced in his years of literary activity is remarkable in its scope, extent, and stylistic diversity. By the time of his death he had published four books, and over a hundred other pieces (most of them poems) had appeared in magazines, newspapers, and anthologies. This material was brought together in The Complete Poems of Idris Davies (1994), but many more poems – and practically all of his prose – remain unpublished. In the twenty-first century, his literary reputation and cultural cachet rest primarily on two "canonical" poetic sequences &n…

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The University of Northern Iowa softball team picked up a pair of wins in the UNI-Dome this evening sweeping the Bradley Braves. UNI (21-21, 11-6 MVC) displayed another impressive performance at the plate in game one scoring seven runs to defeat the Braves, 7-1. In game two the Panthers kept it a closer game but came out on top, 4-1.
The Panthers scored seven runs off six hits in game one with the majority of the runs coming late in the game. UNI found a run in the first inning from leadoff batter Nicole Fisher to take an early lead, 1-0. Bradley tied the game in the fifth inning on a Rachel Huggins homer, 1-1. UNI plated runs in the back-to-back innings late in the game. Caitlin Wnek and Micalla Rettinger each accounted for two a piece, Gina Brown and Kristin Lock also tacked on a pair handing UNI the lead, 7-1. The Panthers were led at the plate by Gina Brown who went 3-for-4 with five RBI.
Jamie Fisher took the circle for UNI tossing another remarkable game. Fisher tossed a complete game six-hitter and fanned nine.
In game two, the Panthers struggled with the bats a bit tallying just six hits on the night which UNI was able to generate into four runs.
Caitlin Wnek got the Panthers started early connecting for her third homer on the season sending a solo shot over the leftfield wall. Kristin Lock was soon to follow on the scoring sending a double to right-center. Haley Kriener tacked on an RBI single which drove in Lock for the two-run lead. Kriener later scored a run of her own in the fourth inning after reaching base on a single, Gina Brown would then homer for a two-run shot scoring Kriener and giving UNI the 4-0 advantage.
Fisher started game two and was credited with the win after pitching a five-hit complete game.
The Panthers now ride a seven-game win-streak and will take the field again this Thurs., Apr. 25, at Robinson-Dresser Field at 5 p.m., against the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Not a bad tab but not all that correct. The main riff, if you listen to the song, is actually a slide not a hammer-on lick. And as for the solo there's no possible way that's completely correct. Why? Because Angus Young plays an SG model and they only have 22 frets. No 23 or 24. So there's some missing bends in there or something.

Missile Defense Remains Priority in Plans to Reduce Military's Size, Spending, Say Officials
August 14, 2012
Missile defense programs, to protect the U.S. homeland as well as American allies and troops around the world, remain a priority in Department of Defense plans to restructure and reduce forces and rein in spending after a decade of war on two fronts.
"Missile defense is definitely a part of the strategy," said Frank Kendall, undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, one of the speakers today at the 15th Annual Space & Missile Defense Conference at the Von Braun Center.
"The combatant commanders can't get enough of these systems," said Rear Adm. Randall Hendrickson, deputy director of the Missile Defense Agency, during another part of the conference.

Do you use mobile health and fitness products?
Mobile Nations Health and Fitness Month has begun and we're all already picking out goals and getting into gear -- but I wanted to find out where we were all starting from first? CES 2012 showed us that mobile is increasingly becoming more than just communications, it's becoming lifestyle. A big part of that is health and fitness.
There are stand-alone gadgets like Fitbit or Jawbone UP that keep track of your movement (or lack thereof!), and sleep activities, and let you enter food information. They connect to our iPhones to share data and deliver reports so we can see how we're doing and adjust according. The are also stand-alone apps that don't need extra hardware and just do similar things right on our iPhones. Both often have social network connections to, so your friends and family can see your progress, be it weight lost, distance traveled, calories burned, sleep enjoyed, or food consumed. That adds accountability and some peer pressure that could help keep you motivated and on track.
Have you tried any of them? If so, which gadgets or apps or accessories did you like best? Have you tried them but ended up not using them, or simply not tried any health and fitness apps or accessories at all? If not, why not?
Vote in the poll up top and give me all the details in the comments below, and don't forgot to jump into our new Health and Fitness Forum -- you can attain your goals and get entered into our big iPad 3 giveaway. Sweet!

Do you use mobile health and fitness products?
I use Nike+ GPS during the warmer months, when I do more outside runs. I use the now-banned iFitness app for recording weight training sessions on the alternate days from running. Both are fantastic apps and help keep me motivated to push onward, especially Nike's since the world of NikeRunning provides so much history and trend data for runners.
I use and LOVE the Endomondo app, for both running and mountain biking. There are lots of choices for outdoor tracking fitness apps - I've used and rejected most of them, and Endomondo has been the best for me. Love it. Get it - www.endomondo.com
Digifit is awesome...much better than using the watch in unisom with chest strap. If you own an iPhone, and you track your heart rate during workout.....digifit is a must.
Strava is great app for cyclist.
I loved my Jawbone Up until it broke. Jawbone was great and sent me a replacement. It broke. They sent another. It broke. They sent another. Now my 9-year-old son is using it and it's working great for him! And it's amazing to see how many steps an active grade-schooler takes every day versus us adults chained to a desk all day.
I ended up buying a FitBit and I love it. I like the added online functionality in addition to the iPhone app and that I can track my calories/food. I do miss the alarm function on the Up, though. Interested in checking out the Nike Fuel Band when it comes out.
I use RunKeeper everyday. I was using the jawbone up. Went thru 2 of them and gave up on em when the last one broke. I'll probably be picking up the Nike Fuel+ band at some point.
