Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan Tuesday confirmed for the first time the premature birth of his and his wife Gauri Khan's surrogate baby boy, who has been named AbRam.
Shah Rukh, 47, made the news official about his surrogate baby via a statement.
"Amidst all the noise that has been going around, the sweetest is the one made by our newborn baby, AbRam. He was born prematurely by several months, but has finally come home," said Shah Rukh.
"Gauri and our whole family have been dealing with his health issues for a long time now," he added.
Explaining his longstanding silence on the matter, he said: "As a family, our silence on this subject has been because of the personal nature of emotional strife that we have been going through due to his health."
The superstar, also called the 'baadshah' of Bollywood, also put the record straight that "there was no sex determination for our child".
"The baby was born much before the speculations of 'sex determination' and other 'issues' pertaining to the same were being raised in the media by some organisations. Suffice to say his coming home puts to rest completely false and at times insensitive claims of sex determination and alleged illegalities," he added.
On his part, the actor-producer has also apologised to "all those other doctors and hospitals who had to face unwanted scrutiny and questioning by some parties", and he has thanked the doctor concerned, Jatin Shah, for his expertise and contribution to make the surrogacy successful.
"We also wish to thank all the other doctors, nurses and medical staff who have made his life possible," added Shah Rukh, who also said the entire surrogacy process is bound by "strict confidentiality".
He has appealed to all "to allow us to cherish this private moment as a family".
Shah Rukh, who began his tryst with showbiz through the small screen in 1988, married Gauri in 1991. They have two children together - son Aryan,16, and daughter Suhana, 13.

SRk u continue to win our heart..!!
Srk has given his baby the name AbRam because it shows the unity of their family. This should be obvious. Gauri is Hindu and Shahrukh muslim. There is no right and wrong here. The path to God are several but God himself is one.
Very happy for Srk. Finally he has cleared the air and his baby is home. Congrats
Um excuse me bt cleared the air for who?? The public,the media nd everyone else who questions the religion of his baby?? or him?
Wow Mr.Khan should feel so ashamed of himself if thts wt he is doing.Coz i thought he showed tht peace nd unity in My name is khan where a muslim man married a hindu girl nd yet they were able to live in peace nd hearmony...well i get wt ur saying its nt the same 4 him as his mental stabilty is 100%,hes rich like there is no tomorrow .
I believe tht there is one God bt at the same time nt everyone has tht belief and we should respect tht.
Its higly offense to ppl when u merge those 2 names.But again wht is he trying to prove...
his child is unity...
Mr khan is trying to prove so much things with this child first surrogacy then religion..
Congrats SRK and family !!!!!!!!!!
Loved the name u gave to your baby !!!!!!!!
Congrats SRK...
Nice name..
I luv u as an actor n also by the way u r wid ur family...
Sharukh and Gauri definitely know what they are doing. Kudos for giving a fusion name to the baby.

Heartiest congratulations to Shahrukh Khan for his third baby.
About the sex determination issue, I'll say that when it comes to big superstars like SRK, they are hell bent to create such rumours. If he really did that & didn't wish to have a daughter, then he would have never gone around publicly saying to love & respect females!
But no matter what, we still love you SRK and will always do so.
Its interesting how people in today's day and age, still worry about spreading religious hatred rather than appreciating this man's effort to accept both the religions under single roof. I am not a big fan of Shahrukh Khan the actor...But I sure as hell respect this man for loving Gauri for who she is, and not making her, and their children chose between the religions, or dividing them based on religion. I appreciate the fact, that he has truly understood the meaning of love, and meaning of real religion=humanity. Salute you dude, AbRam is a wonderful name. And respect your values, and upbringing. Keep it up :) Congratulations for the new born, and wish he prospers to new levels and heights :)
Edited on:10 July 2013 at 3:02pm
you've badly lost in your own game SRK !! that's sad
Edited on:10 July 2013 at 2:47pm
It's his decision but what type of example he is setting here...he should have opted "hum do hamare do" he has so much wealth he could have adopted 5-6 kids...as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt...he could have given good life to some orphan kids...anyway congrats to him for new addition to his family...
Unlike most emerging stars in Bollywood, actor Tiger Shroff says he ... 3
Salman Khan's another move to remove obstacles between him and Shah ...

Trampoline across the Seine
This is a trampoline bridge designed by the A/ZC architecture firm of Paris. The design was 3rd place in a international competition for a new bridge to cross the Seine River in Paris. The bridge will never be built but the design of giant inflated PVC rings and mesh trampolines sure looks like a fun way to get from the Left Bank to the Right Bank

A number of nut trees can be successfully grown in Kansas. The Shagbark hickory nut tree, Carya ovata, produces a tasty kernel that is similar but is richer than the flavor of a pecan nut. The American Black Walnut tree (Juglans nigra) grows into a valuable and expensive timber tree, and the walnut kernels are tasty and crunchy. Several pecan cultivars are good for growing, Carya illinoinensis. in Northern States like Kansas. The James pecan tree produces a medium sized pecan, and straw colored kernels with a rich flavor. The James pecans have a paper thin shell unlike the thick, tough-to-crack other cultivars or seedlings of the Northern Pecan trees that are offered by some online nursery companies and are marketed as "hardy pecan trees". The Chinese Chestnut trees and the American chestnut native tree will grow in all Kansas climate zones and are blight resistqnt.
Grape vines can be grown in most of the United States and in Northwest Kansas, where the temperatures some years may drop to minus 45 degrees F. It is important to plant the best grapevine cultivars to withstand the extreme winter temperatures. The famous New England bunch grapes, blue Concord grape vine, white Niagara grape, red Catawba grape vines and the Fredonia Black Grapevines have all been tested for many years at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, at the New York State University Agricultural Station, and all these New England grapevine cultivars are recommended for planting in Kansas, including the seedless grapevines, Red Flame Thompson white grape and Concord seedless grape vines.. Order and purchase the best Kansas grape vines to grow and the high quality information tips and reviews on the website of Ty Ty Nursery, tytyga.com.
Red raspberry plants are recommended for growing in Kansas, and cultivars, such as the Heritage red raspberry plants and the Boyne raspberry plant will survive Kansas frigid winters. Black raspberry bushes such as the Cumberland black raspberry bushes, and the purple raspberry bushes are also productive in Kansas. Horticulturists at Kansas State University, Manhattan KS, do not recommend either thorny blackberry plants or thornless blackberry bushes, since in some severe winters, they do not survive temperatures in USDA zone map, 5.Blueberry bushes do not normally do well normally in Kansas, because of wild Kansas temperature swings and the Mid-west, alkaline soil profiles. Planting blueberry bushes in KS is a risky investment that is generally avoided.
Numerous flowering trees will be ideal for planting in Kansas landscapes. Flowering crabapple trees bloom in colors of red, white and pink. White dogwood trees and white Cleveland select flowering pear trees blossom in an abundant show of color early during the Kansas spring season. The Redbud tree is a native tree like the white flowering dogwood tree, and the Redbud tree is a choice planting companion for a white or pink Dogwood tree. The Golden rain tree is a beautiful yellow- flowering, Kansas tree that forms flowers in early summer hot days. The Golden rain tree flowers turn into beautiful ornamental lanterns that change from a delicate pink in color and then to a tan and brown color in fall.The choice of Japanese flowering cherry trees falls between the pink Kwanzan tree with double flowers and the white Yoshino trees with single flowers.
Fruit tree planting in Kansas is successful, when the planting is done in USDA, zone 5. In Northwest Kansas, the Braeburn apple tree, Fuji apples tree, and Red Rome apple trees are selected to better survive the extreme cold, according to Kansas State University, that is located in Manhattan, Kansas. In other state wide locations, the Gala apple, Jonathon apple tree and the Granny Smith apples will survive. Sour cherry trees (pie cherry tree) will survive and produce cherries in profusion. The Montmorency cherry trees and the North Star cherry tree are the fastest growing sour cherries that are best for KS gardens. The Moorpark Apricot tree is suitable for planting, and the apricot flavor is sweet and juicy. The Moonglow pear tree and the cold hardy, improved Kieffer pear trees are highly productive and fast growing in Kansas City, KS. locations. Plum trees, (Prunus americana), are native to KS, and the fruit of plum trees is an important wildlife food item. The Stanley plum trees are one of the very few grafted plum trees that can survive the cold temperatures of the Northwest portion of the State. The question of whether or not fig trees will grow in Kansas is, "yes", for the Chicago Hardy fig tree that is recommended to grow in zone 5 and 6, when it is mulched properly and protected from high winds.

The Broncos had too many holes to fill in just one draft, but they did a nice job identifying the most glaring issues and got the rebuilding process started. The franchise won't be turned around in one year, but this was a step in the right direction.
Von Miller was a legitimate early 1st-round prospect, but taking him at No. 2 was a reach – especially considering the fact that his ideal position was as a 3-4 outside linebacker. A strong case could be made that he was the best available player for a team like Buffalo or Arizona, but not the Broncos. That's not to say he'll fail – I still think he can be a quality starter – but he may never fully live up to expectations.
I love the selection of Rahim Moore in the 2nd round. He'll spend a year in a backup role learning behind Brian Dawkins before taking over the starting free safety job in 2011. This is an ideal situation for both Moore and the Broncos.
The Broncos reached slightly for Orlando Franklin, who has a ton of ability but never fulfilled expectations at Miami. He primarily played left tackle at Miami, but lacks the athleticism necessary to play that position at the next level. He may even need to shift inside to guard.
It's hard not to root for Nate Irving, who missed the entire 2009 season due to injuries a devastating car crash. He was tremendously productive in his return this past season and should only continue to get better the further removed he is from those injuries. He could prove to be a steal from the 3rd round.
Quinton Carter could be a nice compliment to Rahim Moore in the Broncos secondary. He has the ability to play either safety position and could potentially win a starting job at strong safety down the road. In the meantime, he'll make an immediate impact on special teams.
Julius Thomas is a converted basketball player who has a lot of upside, but will offer very little help in 2011. The Broncos are desperate for a pass-catching tight end, so it would have been nice to see them add someone who could make more of an immediate impact.
Mike Mohamed is a smart, fundamentally sound player who should be a solid backup in Denver. He could play inside or weak-side linebacker.
Virgil Green is a similar prospect to Julius Thomas, and may actually offer more in terms of immediate contribution. He's an elite athlete for the position and could be used as a weapon in the passing game.
Jeremy Beal was a productive collegiate lineman/linebacker but has limited athleticism and may have already maxed out his potential. He's worth taking a chance on in the 7th round, but he'll have to fight just to make the roster.
The Broncos added only one immediate starter (Miller) which is somewhat disappointing. Down the road, however, Moore, Franklin, Irving and possibly Carter and Thomas could develop into starters. That's too many ifs to give them an A, but the class certainly has the potential to improve their grade over the course of the next few years.

Could always use Betwiin. There are Wii destroying risks if you don't know what you're doing though.
Cogita ante salisIf you're happy with the help I provided, don't forget to hit my thanks button
Thanks. It so happens that the system board I thought was good, ended up being ... well ... not good. So I ended up pulling apart the main Wii anyway, to find out, there was a piece of broken plastic in the socket that was probably interfering with the controller. I pulled it .. did the best I could .. the black plastic integrated into the socket is broken up in thee so I took a small black tie strap, tightened it up and it seems to hold pretty good now. Games work fine, I re soldered the joints anyway. Thanks for the tips, though ... we'll be sticking with the same SB ... altough port 1 on the GC port looks like crap .. so be it!

West Palm Beach, FL - February 23, 2010 - All of the more than 180 HearUSA (Amex:EAR) company-owned hearing care centers will be offering free hearing-loss screenings, along with a free 80-minute Living With Diabetes video produced by the American Diabetes Association, to anyone with diabetes during the entire month of March.
People with diabetes are twice as likely to have hearing loss than those who do not have diabetes, according to a National Institutes of Health landmark study. The study's researchers recommended that all men and women with diabetes have their hearing tested.
The HearUSA centers are located in California, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
"Based on the findings of the NIH study, five million Americans living with diabetes also have hearing loss that, in many cases, remains undetected and untreated," said Dr. Cindy Beyer, audiologist and senior vice president of HearUSA, one of America's largest hearing care and hearing aids companies.
The study linking diabetes and hearing loss was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. In its editorial, the publication said, "In many cases of mild to moderate hearing loss, patients are not aware of what they cannot hear; thus, screening for hearing loss in individuals at risk could lead to interventions that would affect their ability to communicate, their productivity and their safety."
Untreated hearing loss is serious: Dr. Beyer said studies have linked untreated hearing loss to fatigue, stress and depression, avoidance of social situations, reduced job performance and earning power, and diminished health.
"Hearing loss affects virtually every aspect of a person's life, making it all the harder for people with diabetes to cope with their disease," said Sergei Kochkin, executive director of the Better Hearing Institute. "A hearing check is invaluable in determining whether or not someone with diabetes does have a hearing loss and will help to ensure that they get the treatment they need.
To locate a HearUSA Hearing Care Center in California, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania and to schedule an appointment to receive a free hearing loss screening and the free diabetes video, go to www.hearusa.com or call 1-800-698-6767.
About HearUSA:
HearUSA is the recognized leader in hearing care for the nation's top managed care organizations through its more than 180 company-owned centers and network of more than 2,000 hearing care providers. HearUSA is the nation's only hearing care network accredited by URAC, an independent, nonprofit health care accrediting organization dedicated to promoting health care quality through accreditation, certification and commendation.
HearUSA is also the administrator of the AARP Hearing Care program, designed to help millions of Americans aged 50+ who have hearing loss.

None of us wants to walk away from business. But those of us who have been in this industry for a while recognize that sometimes that's our best option. When a customer or account becomes so demanding that it cuts into your profitability, it's probably time to issue a polite ultimatum.
At Carolina Pest Management, Monroe, N.C., our toughest accounts have been restaurants — not every restaurant but many restaurants. Why? Poor sanitation practices. Our technicians go in and provide top-notch pest management services, but if the restaurant owner and staff disregard the sanitation practices we've prescribed, we end up going back two months later and practically starting from scratch again. It's demoralizing for our technicians, who succeed in getting the pest situation under control, only to have their efforts undone. Then they are often criticized as customers assert that the problem lies with the treatment. In these accounts, callbacks snowball to the point where the price we initially negotiated no longer offers us a profitable margin.
Of course, residential customers can prove to be a bad fit as well. You know who they are; their names come up over and over again as technicians share their frustrations of the day. In fact, sometimes you can tell from the initial phone call that a customer is going to be difficult. They can be demanding in a number of ways: insisting that you apply a product or handle a treatment in a way that's inconsistent with your corporate protocol or calling you to come out every time they see one dead roach on the floor, for example. Whatever their issue might be, the callbacks, just as in the restaurant accounts, become so numerous that the customer ceases to be profitable.
During my first few years as president of Carolina Pest Management, I believed that any business was good business and so accounts like these continued to serve as profit leaks. Then I got smart. I sat down with the management team to discuss the possibilities of severing ties with the worst offenders. Since then, we have increased our profitability as well as technician morale.
It's not difficult to identify accounts that might be worth losing. They typically exhibit one or more of these warning signs:
Carolina Pest Management was built on our commitment to providing superior service and building mutually beneficial relationships. We never want to lose a customer over service, but if we lose them over price or lack of profitability, we don't lose any sleep over it. This philosophy has kept us going strong for 75 years and will take us generations into the future.

Republican Al Higginbotham reelected to Hillsborough County Commission
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
Two Hillsborough County Commissioners won reelection Tuesday.
Democrat Kevin Beckner defeated Republican challenger Margaret Iuculano.
Republican Al Higginbotham held off two challengers, Democrat Mark Nash and Joy Green who is not affiliated with any party. At the Republican Party of Florida election night reception in Tampa, Higginbotham said he was able to win despite the Democratic wave that swept Hillsborough County because of the effort of his campaign workers.
"We have worked hard over the last two and a half months. Since the first of September we knocked on over 15,000 doors. I had anywhere from 40 to 60 walkers with me over the weekends. On the streets during the weeks waving signs. During the last 12 days we put out over 100,000 pieces of direct mail. We have worked hard. We ran a grassroots oriented campaign and I am just grateful the the voters have the confidence in me and the job that we've done the last 6 years to ask me to come back. I look forward to working just as hard this next two years as I have in the last six."
Republican State Representative Shawn Harrison was defeated in his bid for re-election. Democrat Mark Danish won the seat north of Tampa by about 600 votes -- one percentage point.
In a closely watched Hillsborough school board race, incumbent Carol Kurdell defeated conservative activist Terry Kemple. Kemple led the recent challenge to the countyâs guest speaker policy after a leader from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) spoke at a New Tampa school.comments powered by Disqus

Family, friends, investment can be a combustible mix
Grant acknowledges that there have been some awkward moments. There have been some "heated discussions about how things should work. But the best changes and improvements have come out of our most-difficult conversations," he said.
The best thing Grant did was bring in an experienced partner, a "been there, done that" leader in Karen Brailean, who serves as chief operating officer. "I have been impressed with the way that they fight. They are careful about the words that they choose. They recognize the strengths that they each bring," she said.
When your family invests, the business can become an all-consuming topic. Grant lives at home and admits this is an issue. "My sister sometimes says all we talk about is Barc," he said.
If the company crashes, that can also strain family relationships. Failure, Grant admits, "would suck." But he is "all in," and he sees himself as a paranoid optimist — positive about the future but concerned about what can go wrong.
Grant is more fortunate than most, given his father's skills and resources, but the dynamic remains the same. You may be able to get money from family, friends and fools, but be careful that you treat them well, or you may lose your family and friends as well as your business.

Angel Berroa is coming off the DL tomorrow, so I will have to make a roster move (drop someone) to get him on my active roster. Another team in my league is desperately needing a second baseman (has Durham). He offered me 1B/OF/3B Aubrey Huff in return for OF Geoff Jenkins and 2B Brian Roberts. In doing this trade, I would open a spot for Berroa and add Huff. What do you guys think? Is that a good trade for me. Huff has struggled out of the gate this year, but I really feel that he is going to gradually get better to the point where he is going to be a real offensive force throughout the season. He had 85+ extra base hits last year!! Jenkins is an injury risk every year, and because I have Berroa, Roberts is expendable. I don't need Huff for 3B since I have Blalock, Cabrera, and Mora all eligible there, but his bat would be a nice addition for me CI or UT spot. Thoughts?

Without being here, seeing it, and feeling it, it is difficult to really convey what six full days of Enduro is really like. There are subtle cues by the riders ..body language, posture, etc., that give the impression to the non-rider that the days are adding up. However, today was humpday and despite the toll being taken on bikes and bodies, there is also a level of enthusiasm as well, knowing that tomorrow is an all new course, with new tests, and challenges to be encountered.
The U.S. Trophy Team still sits in a very solid 3rd place today. From my observation, they are all in good spirits and no major bike or body issues. Taylor Robert had to swap out a front brake line, and had to ride one entire test with no front brakes. Mike Brown is on his third clutch in the mighty 500. There have been some great individual performances, but the 3rd place standing is truly a team effort and the result of consistency.
The Junior Trophy Team retains the 4th spot for the day and much like the Trophy Team, they have been consistent with no major bike or body issues to my knowledge.
Todays course was Day 1 and 2 ridden backwards, with some slightly new trail thrown in for good measure. Josh said that part of the new course was down a gnarly creek bed for several miles with a little water thrown in for good measure, and the course also sent riders up what has previously been a long and technical downhill and he indicated that there were plenty of riders strewn all over the hill (he described having to use one guys bike for traction to make it up the hill). I think some of these gnarly sections took their toll on the U.S. Womens Trophy Team and they all dropped some route points but they are still in the game. One major change to this years ISDE is the new 30 minute rule. If a rider is late, they now only have 30 minutes rather than 60 minutes of route time before being disqualified for the day.
For the Club Teams, the ringer U.S. Wellard Club Team consisting of Nick Fahringer, Ryan Sipes, and Jimmy Jarrett has moved into 2nd place overall for the World Club Team standings. Nick is currently in 7th place overall in all Club riders (over 400 riders) and Ryan Sipes is 10th overall club rider.
Ian Blythe is the other big standout among Club riders, and is the top U.S. Club rider through Day 3. He is sitting 3rd place overall C1 rider, and 4th place overall Club rider.
I am proud of every single U.S. rider, but I have a few observations of a few other riders that are impressing. After the 4 mentions above, Justin Sode and Alex Dorsey are laying down some awesome test scores. Fred Hoess is forever consistent, and I will admit that Im very proud of my son Josh as he has consistently been the next club rider right behind these team members, and has demonstrated a lot of maturity in his approach to this Six Days. Riding on the same team as Fred Hoess has been great for him. Josh is currently in the top 18% of all Club riders and within the top 22% of all C1 riders. There were 150 C1 riders that started on Day 1. There are now 137, and he sits in 31st. There were 405 Club riders (inclusive of C1, C2, and C3 classes) that started on Day 1. There are now 357 as of the end of Day 3. There is a little bit of attrition every single day and as many ISDE veterans will attest, the Six Days doesnt really start until Day 4.
Today I was unable to get to a test in time to get photos of the Trophy and Jr. Trophy riders. However, I was able to get shots of every single U.S. Club Team Member. There are plenty of photos all over the net of the Trophy guys so hopefully you can enjoy the rest of these.

Ryan Sipes gets a quick interview on the starting line this morning .ready for Day 3.
Justin Sode rides his Beta 250 to full-tilt. Here is Justin doing a little prep in his morning work time. The U.S. Support guys are amazing and give every rider their absolute attention. They are here for the riders.
Ive gotten to know Fred Hoess a lot better on this trip, and have enjoyed his insight and consider it an honor for Josh to be riding with another ISDE legend.
Josh and Fred in morning work area.
Alex Dorsey from California doing some morning prep on his bike. Alex has had some awesome test scores and is riding well.
I saw this in the morning work area. Just about every rider drops close to $1,000 or more on tires and bibs for the week. Maybe were all missing the boat and should spend $10.00 on some tennis balls.
Scene this morning in the work area after impound before riders leave for the day. They have 10 minutes to do any necessary work on their bikes.

These French fans have been everywhere and were thoroughly enjoying being the subject of many photos along with their anatomically correct (and anatomically enhanced) blow-up doll, air-horns, and chainless chainsaws.
Mandi Mastin in the Indoona Grass Track special test today. Note the dust behind her. She was enjoying about as good of vision as was possible in this test, and this wasnt even one of the really dusty ones.
This Italian rider is currently the top overall club rider. Its fun to watch the top Club riders come in because they are considerably faster than the latter portion of the Trophy riders so all of a sudden you see these guys come in and they are just on the gas. I liked this photo because it just kind of epitomized the ISDE for me .great form, leaning forward, on the gas, test ribbon dangling from the fork leg from exploding corners ..love it.

Day 4 of the 88th running of the ISDE presented riders with a new course, new special tests, and all of the challenges that come with it. Todays course was shorter in distance and duration, but was generally considered to be more technical. The real challenge presented itself in the transfer section before Time Check 4.
We chose one special test to attend today and tried to get there in time to get photos of the entire U.S. team. Special Test 4 is known as the Padru Test. This is the one set on a hillside MX track about 25 kilometers south of the city of Olbia. As the first Trophy riders arrived, it seemed that they were all in more of a hurry than usual (the Time Check 4 was immediately after the Special Test and across the road). It turns out the transfer section was particularly tight, meaning that riders had less time than accustomed to cover the distance. Many of the Trophy riders were finishing the test with just a minute or two to spare at the time check to remain on schedule.
According to Josh and some of the other riders, they all knew that it was going to be tight, and the pace was definitely elevated. He and Fred Hoess said it was like a full-on Hare Scrambles race for 40 kilometers with bikes, carnage, and craziness ensuing the entire way. There was some virgin singletrack cut through the forest, along with some other more challenging trails that wreaked a little havoc on some of the riders.
A nice cloud cover kept the temperatures moderate for most of the day, and Josh indicated that the first half of the day was his favorite so far. The trails were tough, the schedule tight and fast, and with the new terrain the tests and transfer section trails were in great shape. Part of the course was doubled-up for a second loop and some tests ridden twice, so he indicated by the second time around today, the conditions went from great to worse. All those same sections will be duplicated tomorrow so unless we get another miracle rain like we did on Sunday night before Day 1, tomorrow is going to be dry, dusty, and the course will be severely beat.
The course conditions have taken their toll on tires and bib mousses. The Metzeler rig and all the other tire manufacturers have been a revolving door with people replacing bibs and buying new tires. Just about every U.S. rider (and most other riders) have been destroying bibs.
The U.S. Trophy Team is still holding on to 3rd place with the Junior Trophy team in 4th. There have been some great individual performances again. The U.S. Wellard Club Team is 2nd overall club team and Ryan Sipes has continued to lay down some great test scores.
Joshs team has moved up to 13th overall out of 139 club teams and his individual performance has improved as well. He has consistently moved up a few spots each day both in the overall club standings as well as in his respective C1 class.
Here are some photos from today to enjoy.
Ryan Sipes leaving the parc ferme this morning for Day 4. He has had a lot of people very curious about him. I had one European guy approach me at a special test. He could tell I was from the U.S. and he asked me if it was The Ryan Sipes who was riding on a club team for the U.S. Those who follow Supercross and Motocross know who he is as well as Zach Osborne and have been very curious about their performances.
Alex Dorsey changing out a clutch in the morning work period. Once again, I cant tell you how nice it has been to have a factory KTM mechanic present at all the checkpoints for ALL the riders.
Alex Dorsey and teammate Justin Sode were starting on the same minute this morning. These two have had excellent Six Days thus far and are riding great.
Josh changing an air filter this morning. Up to this point, most riders have been swapping air filters 3-4 times a day due to the dust. Today, was very different due to the better conditions for the first half of the day, but everyone is expecting that to change for tomorrow.
Josh gives Grandpa a thumbs up before leaving for Day 4.
This isnt a very good photo, but I had Jennie take it from the car as we were driving to the special test. This was a section of course that paralleled the road and then climbed a big hill. It was attracting quite the crowd. Anywhere the course is viewable, there are people off watching.
Young Italian ISDE fans. You can tell what hair style is popular among the young Italians.
Random scooter pic of the day. Scooters are everywhere! Motorcycles are everywhere .I could start an entire thread with pictures of all the cool motorcycles.
Check out this view of the beautiful, groomed, prepped, motocross track that was part of Special Test 4 (kidding). Water ruts, hard packed, and steep. The entire track was like this, but due to the moisture earlier this week, and the fact that it had not yet been ridden, allowed it to rut up reasonably nice.
Top Australian Daniel Milner was first through this Special Test .not really an advantage considering the course conditions in the test.
Antoine Meo, special test winner, and overall leader for the day.
First Trophy riders arriving to the test. Charlie Mullins is just behind the starting chute, as he was the first American on the schedule today.

This should give you some perspective of what the riders constantly have to deal with. This is immediately after the special test and time check. There is typically some section of road leading into or out of a test of checkpoint and it is usually very congested with lots of cars going every direction and people everywhere. Remaining totally aware at all times is critical for the riders.
Jeff Fredette
Brian Storrie
I was walking from the test back to my car. I kept hearing a bunch of guys yelling in Italian from way up on the hill. They spotted me walking with my media/photo vest on were yelling for me to take their picture. This is for you my drunk Italian ISDE friends.
This is the same test that also runs right through an old farmers field and past his goat pens. Shawn OLeary navigates the test through this section of old farm.
Another pic to offer some perspective. This is Jeff Fredette being chased through the field during the test.
Shawn OLeary
By the end of the day, the riders were feeling the effects of the most difficult day of riding yet. Here, Fred gets some treatment from therapist Monte.
If anybody read my thread from last year, you may remember the Purple Helmets from Isle of Man. They showed up again to the ISDE, this time in Italy. They ride these old rat bikes and are quite the scene everywhere they go.
The Purple Helmets
The U.S. container is getting quite a stack of used tires on top.
The pits were hopping with activity tonight.
Imagine your large State Fair, and then imagine every vendor and person being a motorcycle enthusiast .thats the Six Days pits.

Josh will have the honor of lining up with him in the third C1 moto at tomorrow's final moto. Josh also had the unique experience of lining up with Tullio Pellegrinelli. They were on the same row to start Day 5. Josh couldn't figure out why all the Italians were screaming and cheering for him every time he got close, and then he realized it was for Tullio.
Again, he had no idea who Tullio was before coming here but has since learned that he is a former Italian World Champion and multi-time ISDE medalist and legend.

Day 5 of 6 here in Italy. Its interesting how each day brings a different set of emotions. At the start of the week there is so much anticipation, anxiety and excitement about starting the racing. This morning, the mood seemed to be more of a I just need to get through one more day and then its almost over kind of approach.
Im happy to report that all U.S. riders made it through the day, but by the end of the day the rough course had taken its toll. Josh woke up kind of sick this morning, and we didnt think too much of it. It turns out that a good portion of the riders had pretty sour stomachs by the end of the day and the riders were just happy to have it over with and find a bathroom. There were a lot of tired and beat up bodies relieved to have made it. Now the mood has shifted. Tomorrow is the final moto and although it is another day of riding, its kind of like the prize at the end of the game. Everyone is looking forward to it.
Riders will have to ride about 40-50 kilometers to get to the final motocross track tomorrow. They then finish their day like any other day with a pre-check, a 15 minute work period, and then an impound. A lot of riders will be changing at least a rear tire again during that work period before the final moto.
The Riders are staged first by C1, then C2, C3, and then Junior Trophy, and World Trophy motos. Im happy to report that based on Joshs final standings, that he will be in the third C1 moto which is the fastest of the C1 motos (over 40 in each moto since there are almost 140 C1 riders remaining of the 150 that started). The current overall leader of all club riders is an Italian, Maurizio Micheluz. He is blistering fast and is a former multi-time Italian World Trophy and Junior World Trophy rider. He has set the bar very high for the rest of the C1 riders to obtain gold, so achieving gold in this class will be a real accomplishment.
As for todays course, it was the same as yesterday. We woke up to some light rain this morning, but it wasnt enough to do much for the course. Josh indicated that the tight time on the transfer section before special test 4 remained the same, and it was just as hairball crazy today as it was yesterday with carnage and riders everywhere going full moto to get to their check on time. This is where he expended a lot of energy and started getting quite sick, but I think it took a similar toll on all the riders, because not only was the pace very fast, but the trails were really tight and technical.
There was a low-lying fog on the mountains today and Josh said that in some sections he was riding in dense fog with really limited vision, on freshly cut singletrack with a canopy of trees through the mountains. From a spectator perspective, you wouldnt even imagine such trails exist. That seems to be the theme this year ..great trails on the transfer sections, and then beat up, silty, dusty special tests. Keep in mind, Im not riding, but gathering this information from Josh and the other riders so Im sure others may have a different perspective.
The exciting news in the team meeting tonight was that the mens World Trophy team has moved into second place overall. They have not achieved a 2nd place overall since 1982 so if they can pull this off it would be a great accomplishment. Junior Trophy Team currently sits in 4th place, and the women had a better day today. The Wellard Club Team remains in 2nd place overall club team.
Josh has improved every single day this week which has been great for his confidence. Today he moved up to 55th overall club rider out of 342 that remain (405 started), and 26th C1 rider out of 126 that remain (152 started).
Alex Dorsey has continued to pick up speed and has been a very solid club team rider along with Justin Sode and Fred Hoess. Alex has been right behind Jimmy Jarrett in many test scores. The other U.S. club team superstars (Ryan Sipes, Nick Fahringer, Jimmy Jarrett and Ian Blythe) are riding great. Ian Blythe is having an awesome week and is sitting in 3rd place overall club rider in front of 4th place Ryan Sipes.
I was able to get to one test today. The riders have referred to this test as the Glen Helen test.
This Italian fan was asking Josh and Justin Sode for their signatures this morning on his Italian flag. This guy has no idea who they are other than the fact that theyre wearing a U.S. jersey.
This is actually a picture from yesterday at the Padru special test, but I wanted to show the scene so you can get a feel for how many bikes and people are around along with the setting of the test.
At the end of today, the ISDE yard sale started. These guys scored a deal on a bunch of used tires.
AC/DC Italian style
Josh removing his bike from impound for Day 5.
Its funny the little things you learn while here. The guy to Joshs right that is being interviewed is Italian racer Tullio Pellegrinelli. Neither I nor Josh had any idea who he was, but it turns out he is a very famous Italian enduro racer from the 90s era primarily, having won an overall Enduro World Championship and multi-time ISDE racer. He was on Joshs minute today and he said that every time they came to a special test or a location where there were a lot of fans, they would go nuts cheering and chasing him. Josh couldnt figure out what the big deal was until after the day when he found out he was basically riding with an Italian legend in his home country.

This guy was trying to keep the lathe in the ground on the last turn before the finish of the test. Each time a rider drifts wide, it would knock down lathe. You can see how in some instances the lathe is doubled and tripled up. The lathe at the ISDE is not like what we use at home. These are 2x2 posts with large thick tape. Just proof of how much the riders on the gas.

I want to give a little perspective on the scene and atmosphere at the tests. Here are food vendors where you can get Pollo (chicken), Porcetto (pork/sausage), or Lasagna ..none of it very good. Unfortunately, the food here has been a huge disappointment and kind of a running joke about how bad it is. Today we bailed on our pre-paid hotel meals and went back to the Chinese restaurant for the best food weve had in Italy in two weeks.

A little more perspective of the Glen Helen test.
The Trophy Team riders coming into Special Test 5 (same as Test 2). They bring in the umbrella girls and loud announcer just for the Trophy guys. The place went nuts for Alex Salvini and the rest of the Italian riders.
Taylor Robert was the first American at the tests today. Here gets ready for Test 5, along with the obnoxious French fan, complete with blow up dolls and air horns.
Kurt Caselli, same scene.
Remember the guy that wanted Joshs autograph on his flag in the morning ..he showed up here too.
I like taking pictures of fans.
French rider, Antoine Meo. He won this test by over 6 seconds on second place. The closest American was Taylor Robert almost 20 seconds back. He was 35 seconds faster than Kurt Caselli. Its almost incomprehensible sometimes to think about how someone can go that fast.
Italian Alex Salvini, 2nd overall for this test.
Another perspective shot. I stood there and tried to soak it all in, with a bit of a pit in my stomach knowing this was all coming to an end.
Taylor Robert. Check out the fans getting out of the way of his roost.

This poor Swedish Junior Trophy rider blew the corner. It was a 180 degree off-camber turn at the bottom of a steep hill and his support crew was cheering him on at the bottom and distracted him.

We stopped on our way back to the paddock to run an errand. This should give some perspective on what the riders have to ride coming in and out of the paddock each day. Andrew Delong is buried there in the traffic and other motorcycles.

DUBUQUE, Iowa - The Fighting Saints gave a complete effort on Saturday night, peaking in the third period and securing a 5-1 win over the rival Waterloo Black Hawks.
TJ Moor got the scoring started in the first period, with Eliot Grauer and Tyler Lundey feeding him the puck. Moor was unmarked in front of the net, and wrapped the puck around Waterloo netminder Jay Williams for the game's first goal. After the goal, teddy bears came raining down onto the ice for the annual Teddy Bear Toss, with the stuffed animals being donated to Toys for Tots.
In the second period, the Fighting Saints didn't wait long to strike again. Two minutes into the frame, TJ Moor won a puck battle in the corner and found Eric Freschi, fresh off the bench, in the slot. Freschi fired a puck past Williams to make the game 2-0. The Fighting Saints took the 2-0 lead into the third period.
With the Saints on the powerplay midway through the third period, Jono Davis sent a cross-ice pass to Zemgus Girgensons, who one-timed the puck through Williams' five hole to give the Fighting Saints a 3-0 lead. Tyler Lundey received credit for the secondary assist on the goal. Girgensons struck once again minutes later, backhanding a puck into the top shelf over Williams' glove hand to push the lead to 4-0.
Matt Morris saved twenty-one shots on the evening, but had his shutout spoiled when Ian McCoshen converted a 5-on-3 powerplay goal for Waterloo, sweeping the puck into the back of the net. Cody Bradley fed Freschi on a 2-on-0 rush in the final minute of the game, resulting in a Freschi goal that gave the game its final score of 5-1.
Saturday's game was the second in a stretch of six consecutive games at home for the Fighting Saints. The Fighting Saints will take a break for Christmas next weekend, and return to the ice on December 28, when they host Green Bay. The week's action will continue on Friday, December 30, and Saturday, December 31, when Sioux Falls and Fargo make their lone regular season visits to the Mystique Community Ice Center.

And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
Meh, nothing really concrete until we either hear from Silva himself or the match is booked.According to sources very close to the former UFC middleweight champion, Silva changed his tune about not fighting Weidman again just hours after he was knocked out by Weidman at UFC 162 on Saturday night in Las Vegas. The sources said they have never seen Silva so motivated to fight someone, and that a little over 24 hours after the loss Silva was jokingly wishing the rematch could happen this week. That's how badly he wants to avenge his loss to Weidman.

I think the debate would go a bit easier on both sides if the anti-chemtrail people would admit that there is a chance that someone could have a system of spraying chemicals, that would not be released from the exhaust of the engines.
Though, the only problem I can see is the anti-chemtrial proponents would have to cease and desist the use of the word 'debunked' in reference to this discussion, and instead use terms like highly-unlikely, improbable, or in case of threads with pictures, explain why this particular incident (even if they've explained it on a thousand prior threads) isn't a chemtrail, but a contrail.
My personal feelings is water vapor by environmental conditions spurred by the actions of the plane creating the catalyst for change (plane make purty clouds) is generally what people see, and more often as we fly at different heights with improved technologies. I don't discount there might be planes spraying chemicals for all kinds of testing, as history has proven corporations and governments will do a lot in secret, regardless of the effects it may have on the world and its populations.
but even my dad agrees with me that it is unusual for two planes to be entering the contrail altitude at the same time as appears in the picture unless it was a pair of military fighter jets flying in formation
reply to post by mrthumpy
Well of course the altitude where contrails can occur can change depending on weather conditions, it's just a statement describing a threshold.
reply to post by _BoneZ_
Not to mention, WHY, the first reply of a chemtrail thread is an attemp to debunk or flame it ?

A large herd of buffalos had arrived gracefully at the waterhole, tired and thirsty from a long trek. They had briefly colonised the waterhole, some of them dipping themselves inside the reservoir while others just stood there to guard the resource against other animals.
But that lasted as long as the mighty elephants arrived. The buffalos were chased away and the elephants took over. To emulate the buffalos, some juvenile elephants also went inside the pool and displaced some water that flowed out of the pool, to the blessings of the smaller grazers who were standing by unable to compete with the giants of the African plains.
When the dust settled and the pecking order had been established around the waterhole, the animals retreated under an acacia tree to wait for the sun to go down before they could head back to their home ranges.
As is the normal practice with grazers resting together regardless of species, one or several of them will stand as sentries to watch out for danger.
The ruminants will be chewing cud while scanning the plains, taking turns to make sure that everyone has a chance to rest. The journey back could take several hours and they all need strength. We also relaxed at the poolside with a cold beer, marvelling at the simple yet strict organisation within the animal world.
Suddenly, an impala gave out an alarm call. There was an instant reaction within the whole group that was within the waterhole. Those who were asleep woke up immediately.
They all understood the call from the impala. Within the animal world, there are sounds, or calls that are intra-specific. That is, the calls can only be interpreted by members of the same species as the caller.
But in coping with increased predation, some grazers have learnt to interpret calls of danger even if the caller is not of the same species. In this instance, a call from an impala had been understood by zebras, Thomson gazelles, buffalos, baboons and even mongoose.
Baboons hurriedly climbed to the top-most branches of the acacia tree, while the rest just stood on the ready, all gazing in one direction.
We followed the direction where all the animals were looking. At almost a distance of three kilometres, a shadowy shape of the king of the jungle, a large male lion with blackened mane was slowly approaching the lodge waterhole.
From time to time, he would stop to take a breath of fresh air, and then he would be swallowed again into his own dust. We waited for him for almost half an hour.
He finally arrived within 50 meters from the waterhole and then stopped. Although he was a strong adult male, he looked out of place and lacked the confidence of a king. It was evident he was coming from far and he had crossed over an occupied territory to reach here. He had to be sure the resident owner was not around. At his state, he did not want to risk a fight. He was too tired and thirsty.
Having confirmed that it was safe to continue, he advanced towards the waterhole. When he was about 20 metres, I expected to see all the little grazers run for their dear lives.
They did not. They simply walked behind the elephants and the buffalos, just in case. But they showed little signs of fear. It was as though they understood his intension. To drink.
The king of the jungle had his fill while the animals watched. When he was done, he headed for the same tree shading most of the grazers.
That was when we saw the first reaction from the elephants. While the rest of the animals vacated the shade and walked towards the bushes, the elephants stood their ground!
At one point, a little juvenile walked towards the lion, lifted his head and made himself look very huge by spreading his ears, then made a mock charge making as much noise as he could.
The lion stopped midway through, looked at the herd of adult elephants under the shade, then at the approaching juvenile. Slowly, he turned and walked back to the waterhole and squeezed himself into a small shade made by a large stone.
Another hierarchical order had been established. It was as though the lion was telling the elephants, "Keep your shade, I will keep the waterhole." I just wondered; who is the king then?

Fuzhou, the Fujian provincial-federal government Juban's ended up being the very first provincial-level abstract cultural heritage checklist of the news spread like wildfire, Juban's this social heritage, and also ultimately by all levels of federal government in the Golden Age of the focus as well as defense. Nevertheless, deeply rooted in the "old Fuzhou" memories of 10 fan music, ways to receive Fuzhou pundits became the "heart.". The province is proud of its ancient society and has taken lengthy steps to facilitate effective cultural heritage management.
Chen Ying Mu old artist has actually moved than 7 late this year, and also he passed away the same generation of artists mainly, Xia Yibei instruction which is additionally not particularly outstanding. Juban's the majority of the initial design to be passed along from his hands has actually ended up being the old guy could possibly not understand the people.
Juban's had actually lately been invited to Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and other nations and also areas shows that the ups and downs of the tune, remarkable music, the long march of progress, has actually victoried appreciation overseas Fuzhou, Fuzhou, to understand the huge Chinese society build-up.
Juban's what's generated in which, now, not study. Apparently, the Qing Emperor Qianlong 40 years, there is "Juban" competition, played Fu, Lu, durability, joy and other tunes. Throughout this period, it is currently a very fully grown individual songs, music tools, primarily groove, comical pipeline, coconut Hu, gongs, wolf string, the dimension of gongs, cymbals size, clear drum and also 10. Later on enhanced the Sheng, wooden fish, and so on.
Full Juban civil fascinating songs started as civilians were enjoying themselves around the small festival mood. It does not rate, absolutely relies on lots of understanding in between the games. Somehow, Qing Palace this "it was challenging to something nice as well as acceptable" kinds of music are significantly appreciated, have unique presents title "Heming Moving" words. Since then, the band will certainly remain in Fuzhou, Juban, "Heming Dancing" as the team name, open to the transmission in Fuzhou.
In the "Juban" the birthplace of Fuzhou chating location, then still a great deal of aged grand gusto to bring. They said there Chating has to "pay attention on flooring," "check out to listen to on flooring", "Chin Yuet Residence," "Bow" and also lots of social classes, attendance in the thousands, as well as social lesson different means likewise competed Dalei. These social lessons are like cultural awareness training. Songs Club reveal staged during the stage, and the brightest lesson neighborhood drum gongs, dragon and also tiger fight, in full swing; audience, individuals, feelings were running boiling market, fantastic pleasure, think of this vibrant scene, shrill harmonica, smooth and brilliant tunes like still Fang Jian, never distributed.
Juban, music tunes, the capital of a certain post of each, explaining a particular mood. "Mango will" is a joyful birthday celebration music, birthday, stated the Queen Mom in heaven Assembly of Immortals Obtain birthday, man called Dong Fang shuo individuals, by nature-indulgent, not invited to the checklist, however to steal mangos, Queen Mommy had actually invited him to an exemption sitting. A funny little occurrence, to make sure that in between host and visitor happy. The song then I do unknown a number of individuals to the birthday celebration added to the views.
Today, we are still able to appreciate the Spring Celebration and various other standard festivals, to the wood represented by Chen Ying, Fuzhou Taijiang "Juban" live band efficiencies, but as the music stops, just using modern state-of-the-art sound as well as video clip recordings, and so on could not please individuals' most original Juban music gratitude.
