China, To Fujian for beer
My friend, Felix, mentioned going for a little ride during the National day holiday here in China. He lives in Suzhou and I live down in Dongguan, so we settled on Fuzhou as a half way point. He then mentioned something about the possibility of cold beer there, so I figured what the hell, let's give it a go. Four days of riding and roughly 2500 kilometers took me over the following route.
Many months since the Wee Strom had seen action. The wife and I spent the summer touring America on a Concours, and I was happy to be back on the roads of China with my Wee,
I've never seen traffic as bad as what I experienced in the first few hours of the ride. Multiple traffic jams, accidents and thousands of vehicles stuck and going nowhere. Sometimes I could see the toll highways as they passed overhead and even they were at a complete standstill. Something terrible is happening to the roads here in China, and I live in fear of having to drive anywhere in my car as traffic has reached a crisis level.
It took me a few hours to get back in the groove of China riding, but I soon returned to the flow of dodging obstacles and incessantly honking my horn. Finally I made it into the countryside, and stopped for a little break. Seems like the countryside has gotten so much further away than it used to be.
Tried to make the trip mostly X and S level roads (county/state level), and enjoyed a nice mix of sweepers and twisty's as I made my way north out of Guangdong.
I spied a group of large bikes, an unusual thing here, and decided to join in. We eventually stopped for a chat and they invited me to tag along. I'm not a big fan of riding in groups, but it was late in the day, and I figured it would be fun to hang out for the evening.
We made it up to the town of XiaYang, just over the Guangdong/Fujian border. All of my new found friends were Guangdong natives, so they quickly located nice accommodations and delicious food.
And plenty of ice cold beer! Splendid group of people and a fun time was had sharing tales, as all bikers do. Thanks for the great dinner guys.
It had been a long day for everyone, so we were off to bed fairly early. I went back to my humble abode to swim some laps in the ridiculously huge bathtub. It's quite amazing what a couple hundred Yuan (30 bucks) gets you for a night in China.
The next morning was sunny and warm. Felix and I had agreed on meeting in JianOu, so I was up early and rolling by 7:00.
I decided to stick to my plan of S and X roads which started out well enough as I passed through the rural countryside. This was a nice little sugar cane farm that I stopped at for a peek.
Fujian is quite mountainous and I was pretty much going up or down all the time.
Then the roads got bad, and I mean really bad. Lots of construction and mud with plenty of obstacles to keep things interesting.
I passed this cool little covered bridge, something I'd never seen before on previous journeys.
The scenery was good, but the roads were really taking their toll on me. I figured I had plenty of time to get to JianOu, but at this point, I was struggling to make 30-40 kilometers in an hour.
Stop for a rest.
Finally reached JianOu and was happy to find Felix and his friend Dao Fei had only been waiting about 10 minutes. We found lodging for the night and then hit the town for some beers and boasting.
JianOu is a river town, and lots of local people enjoy eating crayfish. I'm not a fish fan, and I had also seen the condition of the river, so decided to pass on the local delicacy.
None the less, we manage a big feast with plenty of cold brews and lots of good conversation.
We were up early (some earlier than others..cough..cough), and after a couple bits of bike tweaking, took off towards Fuzhou. I wasn't planning on hitting the coast, so I told Felix I would probably head back towards Guangdong around MinQing. We headed south on S303 and hit a little rain and gravel in the mountains, but overall, not a bad road.
Felix winding it up in the corners.
Followed by Dao Fei. Dao Fei's bike is completely custom, and he's done an amazing job of picking components from several different kinds of bikes. It's a nice blend of trick little gadgets and common sense upgrades that are a huge improvement on what you see from most of the factories here. They should hire this guy, they could learn a lot from a passionate rider like him.
The rice is ready for harvest and everything has a beautiful yellow glow.
We stopped in GuTian for a quick breakfast.
A traditional breakfast of eggs, pancakes and sausage…er…dumplings I mean.
Followed by more nice scenery.
This is the MinQing Hydro power station on the MinJiang river. I stopped to grab a photo and wait for the boys to wish them well on their journey. They didn't notice me as they whipped past and that was the last I saw of them. They headed towards the coast as I continued south.
Which started out pretty well. I had learned from the previous days to avoid the X roads in Fujian and stick to the S roads. They don't have the tight twisty's, but at least they would most likely be in decent condition.
Or so I thought. This is when everything went to shit. So I'm coming through one of those little towns where everyone with a sense of entrepreneurship has set up some kind of roadside business, effectively cutting traffic down to a lane and a half. There's a bus in front of me that's stopped for no apparent reason, so I move left to go around. Just as I start to pass, a passengers head comes out of the bus window spewing barf in all directions. It's unavoidable, and she manages to cover a good portion of the bike and my helmet. Naturally, my face shield was open due to the traffic jam, so I got a good face full. Yuck, it was almost making me puke. I stop a couple hundred meters up the road and try to de-puke my bike and riding gear. I seriously debate throwing my helmet away as the smell was just revolting. Just a little after the puke incident, the road turns into a construction project gone wrong and my mood is not getting better.
I asked people about the construction and they said it was only about 20 kilometers, they were wrong, as you can see the sign in the picture bellow mentions something about Kilometer 255 through Kilometer 344 being a mess. I never saw this sign, as I came from the north, and I guess they forgot to put one up there. These 4 people riding a 125 didn't seem to mind and gave big smiles as they passed.
Shortly after this picture, the adventure really began. As I reached another spot of congestion, I slowed down to figure out the best attack for a deep mud hole. I decided to go right to avoid the water and as I made my way through, some idiot on a scooter comes up the middle, bounces off a rock, and whacks my front wheel. I'm in shallow mud with no stopping power going 5 km/h at most. The hit is just enough to send me off course and I start going down. The natural reaction when you fall is to put your arms out, and as I'm falling, my hands don't hit ground, but rather, pass through some loose vegetation and bamboo. I realize I'm falling into a ditch. A very deep ditch, but I never made it to the bottom. The bike has pinned my foot and now I'm hanging upside down trapped by my motorcycle. Not good, as this is China, and it's fairly normal for people to avoid those in need, less they get blamed. I struggle to get upright, but there's just no possible way I can get up or pull my foot out of my boot. After three monumental efforts, I'm getting dizzy and start yelling out for some help. A few minutes later, I finally feel the pressure on my foot subsiding as someone pulls the bike up and I go crashing down on my head into what is basically a garbage ditch. Oh well, it's nice to be free again and I thank my new found friend for helping me. He's reluctant to shake my hand as I smelled like puke and trash at that point. I finally manage to get on my way again.
It was getting a bit late, probably around 5:00 or so, which meant I only had another hour of light. I had managed 35 kilometers in the last hour and a half, and I still had more than 50 to go before I would intersect another major road. Never ride at night, never ride at night, was starting to creep into my head as I lumbered on. I looked at the GPS and came to the grim realization that I was going to be riding through this crap in the dark. Another hour passed and another 25 kilometers covered. I could see my headlight beam now and the sky was starting to go black. The traffic had decreased to the occasional motorcycle or small tractor and I noticed the road was getting very narrow. I looked up ahead and saw there was no road. Just a huge mound of dirt and a tiny trail to the left that looked barely passable on foot. I walked it over a couple times, removed the hard luggage and squeezed through. Again I came to a another mound and barely managed to get through after removing the luggage, this was getting exhausting.
About this time I started to come full circle on the Kübler-Ross model. Those are the five stages motorcyclists usually go through when dealing with a crappy ride.
Denial - This road can't possible be under construction for 90 kilometers.
Anger - How can a road possibly be under construction for 90 kilometers.
Bargaining - If I can just get to an intersection, I will gladly go anywhere else.
Depression - This sucks, why did I ever take this route.
Acceptance - It's not so bad, at least my bike is running fine and I'm not hanging upside down covered in puke.
I stopped for a few minutes and sat there in the pitch black and silence. I finally started moving again and as I rounded the next corner, realized I was at the summit of the mountain. I could see lights and a city off in the distance, and a huge feeling of relief washed over me. I slowly plodded along down the mountain feeling like there just may be a chance I would get off that stupid road. Another 15 or 20 minutes passed and I reached a couple vehicles that were stuck. There was another impassable mound and I wondered (A) how the hell did they get there and (B) how many days had they been stuck in that spot. I was in no mood for conversation and quickly pulled the luggage and managed to wiggle through. I imagine those people are still sitting in that spot.
That was the final obstacle. A few kilometers later my headlights struck concrete and I realized I was finally on a regular road again. Hallelujah! Onward into the town ZhangPing, where I stopped at a hotel, and then another, and then another and jeez... will this day never end. At last I found a room at a dirty little Bingguan and called Felix. How was your day?.... Mine was pure hell. We chatted for a bit and then I headed into the shower with all my riding gear on. The stream of filth was astounding and a half hour later I finally felt human again. I bought a couple beers and pulled a granola bar from my bag for dinner.
What a day.
Here's the section that kicked my ass. It's S203 between XiangHu and ZhangPing. Give it some time and I'm sure it will be a lovely ride when the road is completed.
The next morning I woke up feeling a bit sore and abused. I decided I wasn't going to take any chances and would hit the very first G Road (national highway) that I could find and head straight to Guangdong. Started out with some lovely coal country.
And a few kilometers of torn up roads from the coal trucks.
But finally I hit some decent high speed sweepers on G205 and just let it rip. It was so nice to be cornering again.
Many hours later I was back in familiar territory and enjoying the serenity of northern Guangdong.
Home at last! Time for a bath and some TLC for my Wee. I love this bike, seems like she always comes home looking like this, but still goes back out for more time after time.

Great ride, report and photos!
Looks like a fantastic area to explore! I envy you!
Are you allowed to roam freely with the V-Strom everywhere in China? Both in the cities and the countryside? Any limitations?
Registration and insurance of bike no issue?
Ride safely!

Big bikes in China?
I had the impression that they did not allow bikes over 125cc in China for the general public. I was obviously mislead. Can you rent a big bike (say BMW 650-800-1200GS) there? I travel to Ningbo, Nanchang, Chong-ching and Shanghai for work sometimes and would love to bundle in a ride.
Any chance?

A big thank you to everyone for the kind words and questions.
China is one of those places where there's never a straight answer on what you are allowed or not allowed to do. There's also a very different set of rules for native Chinese, foreigners with residency permits, and visiting tourists. People that come here on business or tourist visas don't have much hope of traveling via motorcycle without arrangements made through a licensed tour agency. Yes, you can fly in, buy a bike, ride around most of the country and probably never get caught, but getting pulled over, or involved in an accident, will land you in deep doo doo. Foreign residents can acquire a motorcycle and license through patience and a convoluted procedure that varies from region to region. It's pretty easy for any Chinese national to pick up a license and motorcycle, though few choose to do so, as cars are much more sought after.
Difficult places to travel in China are Tibet & Xinjiang
Sometimes parts of Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan, and Yunnan provinces will be closed if there's unrest in the bordering regions.
Beijing & Shanghai are the only cities that allow real motorcycles (i.e.: BWM 1200 Adventure or Harley Davidson Heritage Softail) with a special, outrageously expensive registration. The "on the road" cost of a BMW 1200 Adventure in Shanghai would be in the ballpark of $50,000 USD.
The following cities have more or less banned motorcycles, and it's a good idea to avoid them if possible.
Guangdong Province - Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Shaoguan, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Shantou, Shenzhen
Liaoning Province - Shenyang, Dandong, Dalian, Tieling, Benxi, Anshan
Jiangsu Province - Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Nantong, Yangzhou, Yancheng, Huai'an, Xuzhou, Taizhou, Changshu, Zhangjiagang, Jiangyin, Lianyungang, Kunshan
Fujiang Province - Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Longyan, Xiamen
Zhejiang Province - Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Ningbo, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, Yiwu
Shandong Province - Yantai, Qingdao, Jinan
Hebei Province - Shijiazhuang, Tangshan, Zhangjiakou, Qinhuangdao
Henan Province - Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Xinxiang, Nanyang, Linzhou, Jiaozou, Anyang
Heilongjiang Province - Harbin
Guizhou Province - Guiyang, Anshun, Tongren, Duyun, Zunyi
Anhui Province - Hefei
Jiangxi Province - Nanchang, Jiujiang
Hunan Province - Changsha, Xiangtan, Yueyang, Zhangjiajie, Hengyang
Sichuan Province -Chengdu, Mianyang, Deyang, Yibin
Yunnan Province - Kunming, Yuxi, Qujing, Mengzi
Hainan Province - Haikou
Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region - Nanning
Hubei Province - Wuhan, Xiangfan, Yichang, Zhongxiang
Shaanxi Province - Xian
Shanxi Province - Taiyuan
Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region - Baotou, Ordos, Dongsheng, Hohhot
Jilin Province - Changchun
Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region - Yinchuan
Gansu Province - Lanzhou
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region - Urumqi
Other than that, you're more or less free to move about, but you should register your stay in approved hotels as you move from place to place.
A European friend of mine has been working on a bike rental business for non-residents visiting China. The red tape is astounding. Hopefully he will make some headway in the near future. At this time, the license issue is the only thing standing in the way of acquiring a rental. There's a 90 day temporary license now available for rental cars, but, as far a I know, the 90 day temporary motorcycle license can only be issued by a handful of Chinese tour operators.
I really wish China would grow up and honor the international driving license system the rest of the world shares. For a country to host the Olympics and the Worlds Fair, without allowing visitors to travel freely, is just wrong on so many levels. I know ride reports is no place for politics, but I'm very disappointed by the fact that, by the time China starts playing by the rules and allowing you folks to experience its greatness, much of it will be destroyed and replaced with gridlocked traffic.
Thanks for coming along.

Speaking of the Internet -- did anybody see the iPhone ads on TV last weekend? I just watched them on the Apple website. Pretty cool.
Is anybody going to get one?
Re: iPhone
I saw one ad. Good advertising, but I'm going to pass. Lots of reasons. Pretty happy with my Blackberry, very dubious of the first generation of anything, don't see any reason to pay $500 for a phone, etc.
Topical subject as I broke my ipod out for a run this morning, it was on my side and I bumped slightly into an errant trash can. The blackberry holds 2gb of music, I think I'll just use that when out running for awhile.
Re: iPhone
Not yet - I'm tied into Verizon for now, and their coverage in these parts is much better than Cingular. It does look amazing though.
I will also wait until the storage catches up to the iPod. 8G is too small I think, and it will get better. I am hopeful they will use the iPhone platform for a new widescreen iPod/PDA (sans phone). Then I'll ditch my Palm and give my old iPod to my son.
Re: iPhone
Cingular/AT&T Wireless is one of my largest clients for my day job...I already have the account manager who runs that piece making inquiries to see if I can get my hands on one. I have a blackjack now which I like...but I am a sucker for early adoption and bleeding edge technology.
Re: iPhone
One just sold on ebay- pre buy
Re: iPhone
Hmm. perhaps i can get a half dozen of them on a product placement deal.. We had Helio on board for a minute, but they seemed a little cheesy.. Too cheesy for a pizza movie even. I talked to Nancy Silverton's people today and it looks like she's going to let us interview her at MOZZA. pity we're stii not eating pizza until it comes from our oven..

IF WE are to believe the claims of some American lawyers, the criminal underworld is populated by "natural born killers" whose violent behaviour is genetically preprogrammed. In Georgia, a convicted murderer called Stephen Mobley, who shot a pizza parlour cashier, is now appealing to the state's Supreme Court, arguing that he suffers from a genetically determined imbalance in his brain chemistry. This evidence, say his lawyers, should be admissible in mitigation for his crime.
Mobley's case became headline news in Britain last week, thanks to a scientific meeting on the links between genes and crime, held in London and organised by the Ciba Foundation. The meeting was controversial from the start. A similar conference planned in the US was cancelled in 1992, following accusations that it encouraged a "racist" Interpretation of the high crime rates in American inner cities (This Week, 26 September 1992).
And the flames were fanned when ...

A long time ago I wrote about Soyuzmultfilm and the Russian animation tradition– in my opinion, these cartoons are a national treasure and among the best things to come out of the USSR. Sadly, the US didn't produce anything comparable, but that doesn't mean we couldn't have, with some German help.
By the time Soyuzmultfilm got started, Walt Disney had made enough money to branch out into some very innovative projects, most notably, Fantasia in 1940. The film wasn't an initial commercial success, and in the following years Disney kept the company afloat (just!) by producing war propaganda for the US government, so artistically interesting projects weren't funded.
Ironically, America's chance at a Soyuzmultfilm-like achievement died on the the vine because of a shortage of money. Or, at least in part because of a shortage of money. Perhaps more important than financial concerns was that Disney's Fantasia rubbed influential people like Dorothy Thompson the wrong way, and new inspiration was required.
But all of that political ugliness doesn't detract from Disney's artistic achievement with Fantasia. It's a remarkable film, with an amazing array of innovative animation techniques, thanks in part to a man named Herman Schultheis.
Schultheis was born in Aachen and held a Ph.D. in mechanical and electrical engineering. He was artistically inclined, an excellent pianist and cultivated a circle of musical friends including Richard Strauss. Schultheis immigrated to the USA shortly after receiving his Ph.D.; read about his toaster incident here. Like Nikola Tesla, Schultheis learned about America the hard way!
Schultheis quickly became a rising star at Disney Studios. It's unclear to me how many of Disney's special effects were thanks to Schultheis alone, but he clearly had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the processes involved and his after-hours documentation suggests he felt some personal ownership. Either way, without his notebook, no one would know how Disney Studios achieved the spectacular effects they did.
Take for instance, the image below.
Fantasia was one of my favorite movies as a child. I would try to draw the characters, but for some reason, my pastels never had the vivid, glowing colors that the film had. No matter how I smudged and mixed, they never sparkled like they do in the movie.
Herman's notebook tells why. The frame above uses at least two exposures. The first exposure is of a hand-drawn image, the second exposure, the exposure which provides the 'scintillation', is of strategically-placed metal filings which reflect different colored lights. When the two exposures are superimposed, you're left with a twinkling web. Nothing like that can be achieved with pencils or pastels, the closest you'll get (outside of film) would be paints using structural color.
Schultheis' notebook is a treasure-trove of information, from the use of multiplane cameras, to light-bending glass, to image-distorting mirrors and even track-based mechanical effects. Schultheis' fundamental understanding was that film captures a slice of light, and therefore animation can benefit from light's special properties.
I wish Disney would publish Schultheis' notebook in its entirety, but it seems that the closest we'll get is a selection chosen and explained by John Canemaker, due out in 2014. Get a taste of what's to come here.
Herman Schultheis worked with Disney on Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo and Bambi. Some sources add Snow White to that list too. He left Disney in 1941, hopefully because 20th Century Fox offered him better opportunities, and not because Disney's collaboration with Washington poisoned the working environment for someone of German descent. Whatever the reason, Disney turned down Schultheis' offer to buy his notebook for something like $300. Nearly fifty years later, the company (probably) paid Howard Lowery considerably more. Lowery got the notebooks from a Catholic order of nurses, to whom Schultheis' widow willed her estate.
Schultheis died in mysterious circumstances. He was an avid traveler and amateur anthropologist, who made a habit of solo-expeditions to Tikal in Guatemala. One day in 1955 he walked into the jungle and didn't walk out again. The Milwaukee Journal reported that a body was found, but they could not confirm that it was Herman's or give a cause of death.
The most comprehensive account of Herman Schultheis' life that I can find is an obituary published by his colleagues at Librascope, a military contractor, where he worked until his death. Schultheis was employed as a technical research librarian, probably interpreting intellectual property documents stolen by Americans from Germany after the war. This is what his colleagues had to say about him:
If your Mayan gods have reclaimed their own, Herman, we will miss you for your happy smile and your jokes, we will miss you for the part you have played in maintaining the spirit of Librascope, because we think you are irreplaceable.

When I first reviewed the Snow Bunny Bullet, I think I was way too generous in my assessment. This is probably because despite the flimsy battery pack (with a freaking wire, ugh), creepy-looking sleeve that's a total skin-draggy lint magnet, and inexplicably stupid name, it did give me some good orgasms. But then, just about any vibe with somewhat strong vibrations will do that, as long as the vibrations aren't too buzzy.
This is most definitely a "novelty" grade sex toy, though, and not something I would ever spend my own money (or EdenPoints) on because it's not waterproof, rechargeable, cordless, silicone, or at all well made. It's really just another bog-standard, cheap "silver bullet" with a tacky hot pink sleeve.
I kinda hated that sleeve, to be honest. The flappy bits felt great, but there was so much surface drag that I kept having to re-lube, and then the texture on that TPR was a nightmare to clean. It just wasn't worth all the hassle.
I don't need to keep vibes like this. Frankly, I have little use for bullets now that I own much better sex toys. But they're fun to tear up! And easy too, when they're so flimsy it's pathetic.
The battery pack lid practically fell right off, and even though the tiny screws were pretty tight, I was able to get the pieces apart. The dial control was attached to one side of the battery case, and I couldn't get it to come away, but I doubt there was anything of interest in there anyway. At least I was able to crack open the bullet casing and get the motor out.
I notice that there's also a rabbit vibe called Snow Bunny. It's the same manufacturer, as the consistency in bullet sleeve design would suggest.

Even after accounting for the water depth effect, the Ksp curve is still too high as shown under the label "Projection Width 4 (Kw)" in Figure 5.15. This indicates that the single equivalent pier model would overestimate the pier spacing effect at least for piers installed in a row. It was found that the ratio of the 3 width of the channel without the piers over the unobstructed width of the channel with the piers fit the data quite well. This 2 equation is shown in Figure 5.15 under the label "Velocity 1 2 3 4 5 Ratio" because the velocity also can be estimated through that C /B ratio. For example, if the flume width is B1, the approaching velocity V1, and there are n piers installed in a row with same Figure 5.16. Initial scour rate for the group pier tests. diameter B, then the velocity with n piers can be estimated by: Vn = (V1B1)/(B1 - nB), and the velocity ratio is: Vn/V1 = B1/(B1 - nB). The equation proposed for Ksp is: 180 B1 150 K sp = (5.3) ( B1 - nB) Scour Depth (mm) 120 5.12 PIER SPACING EFFECT ON INITIAL 90 SCOUR RATE A For C/B, A>B>C 60 B The initial scour rate for the pier spacing flume tests is pre- C sented in Table 5.4 and plotted in Figure 5.16 where C is the center-to-center distance and B the pier width. It shows that 30 the initial scour rate tends to increase as the piers become more closely spaced. In summary, both the maximum pier 0 scour depth and the initial scour rate will increase as the piers 0 50 100 150 200 Time (hr) become more closely spaced. This means that curves such as those presented in Figure 5.17 can be expected. Figure 5.17. Scour curves for groups of piers in a line.

Carthage — "Al-Aridha supports the organisation of a national dialogue as well as any initiative likely to help Tunisia reach safety and strengthen ties between the Tunisians," asserted on Thursday, President of the political affairs department within the People's Petition for Freedom, Justice and Development (Al-Aridha) party Nizar N'sibi.
During a meeting between Caretaker President of the Republic Moncef Marzouki and Al-Aridha delegation, Mr. N'sibi voiced hope to see this national dialogue ends up with a consensus around dates of end of drafting the constitution and holding elections.
The meeting, he went on saying, provided the occasion to submit a letter to the President of the Republic which sets the party's position vis-à-vis this dialogue which, he said "should end up with pragmatic and tangible results."
In this letter, Al-Aridha proposes the adoption of two pacts related to the abolition of torture and the fight against any form of violence", he went on saying.
In addition to Mr. N'sibi, the delegation gathered the Party's Secretary-General Mohamed Hamdi and National Constituent Assembly (NCA) member Said kharchoufi.

Job creation is the lifeblood of economic growth and prosperity for any community, large or small. Job creation generally comes from two primary sources: helping existing businesses to expand and attracting new businesses to the community. Helping existing businesses retain their current workforce and adding new jobs through expansion is by far the best and least expensive way to increase the number of jobs in a community. BR&E is a common sense approach to helping local companies stay strong, while growing the local economy.
The OK Biz Beat program was developed by business retention professionals. It is a database and communications platform that facilitates the retention and expansion of existing businesses and jobs by encouraging economic development, community, and workforce development organizations to work together. OK Biz Beat is free to communities and easy to use.
In today's competitive environment, Oklahoma continues adapting to shifts in the economic climate. Business Customer Services, a Division of the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, is here to keep you ahead of the curve. In this guide, you'll find tools and resource you need as an economic developer or community leader in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma's Site Ready certification program makes business relocation, expansion and development in Oklahoma very inviting. A site's successful completion of the Site Ready process guarantees a prospective incoming business that the site is ready for construction.

Mexican governor born in San Antonio
On this day in 1778, Juan Martín de Veramendi, future Mexican governor of Coahuila and Texas, was born in San Fernando de Béxar (San Antonio). Veramendi, an early friend to Anglo-American colonists, and Juan José Erasmo Seguín met Stephen F. Austin at Natchitoches, Louisiana, in 1821 and accompanied him to Bexar. In 1822-23 Veramendi served in Bexar as collector of foreign revenue, from which office he was elected as alternate deputy of the Texas Provincial Deputation to the Mexican National Constitutional Congress. Veramendi was the first alcalde of Bexar in 1824 and 1825. He was elected vice governor of Coahuila and Texas in 1830, whereupon he moved with his family from Bexar to Saltillo. In April 1831, his daughter, Ursula María de Veramendi, married James Bowie. Bowie and Veramendi formed a partnership to establish cotton mills in Saltillo, and Veramendi began to divide his time between Texas and Coahuila. He assumed the office of governor upon the death of José María Letona in 1832 and served until 1833. His administration was favorable to the Anglo-American colonists and therefore unpopular with many Mexicans. In the summer of 1833, while at his summer home at Monclova, he died in a cholera epidemic.

I have a transfer request for our Inovis EDI master file that's been working great for a few months.
Over the weekend, I upgraded TrustedLink Iseries from 6.1.4 to 6.2.0.
Now when we run our file transfer request, all of the data is in hexadecimal.
When I look at the field field description of EDMAST on the '400, it says the fields are character.... and I can read them if I do a query on the '400 over the file.
Only the file transfer seems to be affected.
Any ideas? I am stumped on this one.

Love this lipstick! It doesn't dry my lip out or make them look flakey. The colors are perfect. Please though, I'm hoping the reason so many are out of stock is because they are that popular and not that they have been discontinued!!!!
These are GREAT for everyday wear. I have the shades Lust for Blush, Rose of Attraction, and Made it Mauve and I love all 3!! Even with my medium skin, the colors blend perfectly and give me a natural look. My favorite is Made it Mauve.
I love this lipstick and the wide color selection. Mocha Muse is one of my favorites. You can't go wrong with any of these colors. Great for on the go application.
I've always been searching for good lipsticks, they're either too thick, don't last or the colors are too much. They work wonderfully and theres always a shade for whatever occasion I have. I have all twenty shades and they never let me down.
I absolutely love this product. Keeps my lips moist, the color is beautiful [not too heavy, not too glossy/drippy]. I am having a very difficult time finding it in the stores now, so I buy all of the #75 whenever I see it. Hope its not being dc/d.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, January 26, 8 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Vadalabene Center (4,000) -- Edwardsville, Illinois.
Television: None. Home Record: UTM 4-5, SIUED 6-2. Away Record: UTM 0-11,
SIUED 1-8. Neutral Record: UTM 0-0, SIUED 0-0. Conference Record: UTM 1-7,
SIUED 3-4. Series Record: SIU Edwardsville leads, 4-3.
GAME NOTES: The SIU Edwardsville Cougars play the second leg of a three-game
homestand when they entertain the Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks in an Ohio Valley
Conference battle at the Vadalabene Center on Saturday night.
On Thursday, Mark Yelovich scored a game-high 24 points and grabbed eight
rebounds to lead the Cougars to an 80-77 victory over the Southeast Missouri
State Redhawks. For the Cougars, Jerome Jones added 19 points, Michael Messer
finished with 13 points, and Kris Davis chipped in with 12.
Jones (15.7 ppg) leads the team in scoring, followed by Davis (10.6 ppg) and
Yelovich (10.2). The Cougars are fourth in the OVC and 57th in the nation in
3-point field goal defense. They are holding opponents to 30.4 percent
shooting from long range. In the last four games, SIU Edwardsville's opponents
were a combined 15-of-71 (.211) from 3-point range. In seven OVC games, SIUE
opponents are making just 26.4 percent of their shots from beyond the arc.
Jones comes into tonight's game 25th in the NCAA in 3-point percentage (.436).
The Cougars, who are one of only six teams at the NCAA Division I level with
no freshmen on their roster, are third in the OVC in 3-point percentage,
making 38 percent of their shots.
The Skyhawks round out a two-game road swing tonight. On Thursday, Eastern
Illinois beat UTM, 69-56. Myles Taylor led all scorers with 21 points for the
Skyhawks, while Terence Smith finished with 13 point and seven assists. The
Panthers outscored the Skyhawks, 19-5, off turnovers.
Taylor has really stepped up for the Skyhawks. Since 2000, no sophomore has
finished the season in the top-five in the OVC in both scoring and rebounding.
Taylor currently ranks fifth in scoring (16.9 points per game) and tied for
fifth in rebounding (7.5 per game). Mike Liabo (12.5 ppg) is second in
scoring. He has drained a career-best five 3-pointers five times in his last
15 games.
SIUE defeated UTM in the only meeting last season, winning on the road, 69-65.
The Skyhawks have won two of the three contests against SIU Edwardsville
since the Cougars joined the conference in 2008.
UT-Martin's defense is the worst in the OVC, as the Skyhawks allow 75.8 points
a game. Also, they're shooting just 38.4 percent, which is worst in the
conference. It all translates to an SIUE triumph.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: SIU Edwardsville 76. Tennessee-Martin 67

Hi everyone, I have read through dozens of pages of forum posts to see what landlords and tenants have experienced to see if anyone has been in a similar situation to me.
I am the tenant in this case and signed up to a long term lease. I served my landlord with a 10 day letter asking for a small rent reduction backdated to the beginning of tenancy for the ongoing issues, fair and reasonable compensation for issues with renovations and being unable to use parts of the property, and requesting issues be resolved, including major health and safety issues and breaches of the building act, and to terminate my fixed term lease and replace it with a periodic lease.
I included a report which documented each issue, and provided photos.
I informed my landlord that I would be making a claim with the Tenancy Tribunal if my demands were not met.
The following day a letter from my landlord appeared in my letterbox, telling me my lease had been terminated as requested. However it has not been replaced with a periodic lease. They requested I contact them with my dates I would vacate the property.
I am sure that ignoring the rest of the 10 day letter and terminating my lease is retaliatory and what are my rights here? Do I have to move immediately? or does Section 60(1) of the Act apply?: Where a tenant remains in occupation of the premises after the tenancy has terminated all the obligations of the tenant shall continue in force as if the tenancy is still subsisting until such time as the tenant ceases to occupy the premises.
I would be interested in your thoughts

Subject: i3 Private-Sector Match Information
Dear i3 Applicant,
As you know, potential i3 grantees under the U.S. Department of Education's i3 program are responsible for obtaining private-sector matching funds or in-kind donations. The exact amount required to meet the matching requirement depends on the total amount of federal funds an applicant is awarded, and the grant category in which the applicant applied. This year, Development grantees must secure a 15% match; Validation grantees must secure a 10% match; and Scale-up grantees must secure a 5% match. While the Department is still in the midst of the peer review process and no funding determinations have been made, we would like to urge you to start securing your entity's private-sector match as soon as possible.
Once the Department announces the highest-rated applicants (HRAs) later this fall, HRAs will have limited time to confirm their private-sector matches. In recent years, HRAs have had just a few weeks to obtain evidence of their private-sector matching funds or in-kind contributions; this short timeframe is understandably challenging for many HRAs. Therefore, it is essential that you start exploring options for securing your potential private-sector match now. While Federal i3 grant awards will be made by December 31, 2012, HRAs must have private-sector matches secured well in advance of this date in order to be eligible to receive an i3 grant. The attached document, which will also be available at http://www2.ed.gov/programs/innovation/index.html, provides some potential private sector resources that may assist you in your fundraising efforts. One of the private sector resources identified on link, the Foundation Center, will be hosting a webinar on Friday, October 5th, 2012 at 1 pm (EDT), noon (CDT), 11 am (MDT), and 10am (PDT) at this this link: https://foundationcenter.adobeconnect.com/registryi3. Please note that the Department does not endorse the resources identified in this e-mail or attachments, or any other specific private-sector source of support to meet the i3 matching requirement, but is providing this information as a service to potential grantees.
For more information about the i3 matching requirement, please see the Investing in Innovation Fund (i3) Program Guidance and Frequently Asked Questions (available on the Department's website at http://www2.ed.gov/programs/innovation/faq.html).

Dear Budget Fashionista
I am looking to start wearing more jewelry and accessories as sort of a New Year's resolution but I see everyone wearing the long necklaces with big beads and things like that. Are there any new trends in accessories coming for the new year?
A: In terms of accessories, you'll see a lot of what was in last year . . . wedges (especially cork wedges), espadrilles, gold necklaces, beads (make sure their in scale with your size—smaller beaded for smaller people, larger beads for larger people), lots of brown. However, some new entrants like straw + leather purses, accessories combining nautical themed materials like gold chains and ropes (think Polo Ralph Lauren) and the color white will also be hot. I also think hats are going to make a major comeback because of concerns about skin cancer and the general trend of fashion towards the more conservative looks.

I literally laughed out loud when I heard the tug-boat noise come out of that cat's ass. That, to me, was well worth the $1. You're right though, it is TOTALLY DUMB AND POINTLESS.
While I liked the trailer because Rich and Ben make some good videos, I have zero interest in this dumb-looking app.

Derivative software is licensed copyrighted software used in whole or part in new programs written by programmers at businesses using the licensed software. Programmers copy the copyright notices into the source code where the code was copied, and track all such places, because if the license is permitted to expire, then the business loses software use rights, including any place to which it was copied. An annual fee is typically paid to keep the license in effect, and over time, the software supplier can increase the fees to the point that the business chooses to convert to some other commercial software that seems to be more cost effective. It is not unusual in business software to find programs that have many different copyright notices, each referring to different sources of the derived source code.
On the other side, some companies actively encourage modding of their products. In cases such as TiVo and Google, there has been an informal agreement between the modders and the company in which the modders agree not to do anything that destroys the companies business model and the company agrees to support the modding community by providing technical specifications and information. Some commercial video games thrive through a modding community. In the case of Half-Life, a mod called Counter-Strike drove sales of the original software for years. Space Empires is also a series renowned for its modding capabilities; virtually anyone can make a custom mod for the game, since almost all of the game's critical files are .txt or .bmp files, allowing any Windows user to easily adapt the game to suit their own needs.
Many games come with a mod editing tool that allows users to create original content for themselves and others. Other games provide the source code for users to use in experimenting and creating. Still others, like 18 Wheels of Steel, will provide the non-programmed data (images, small codepieces and the like) in a simple archive, which can often be opened by renaming it to a .zip file. Often modders will take the game in directions that the developers never anticipated or didn't have time/funding to include. Generally, a small percent of game players will spend much time mod making, but those who do usually develop communities around modding a particular game. Communities are generally connected via a web forum where new modders can ask questions of more experienced ones, and everyone can find inspiration in the work of others. Some games, like Neverwinter Nights, could never have been as successful as they are without a thriving user community. And as more people have been more connected via the web, this has become a vital and dynamic creative phenomena where users become content creators not just content consumers.
Skilled computer users who are able to crack data formats and reverse engineer a game can modify them to their heart's content, because the creator of the software has copyright authority over who may use it, or change it. Software is sold with a license that spells out what guarantees, if any, come with the software, and what rights the purchaser has to change the software. Many people do not read these contracts, or store them in such a way to be able to prove what contract came with what purchase, so some computer users are ignorant to what their rights are with respect to backing up software, modifying software, and sharing it with other potential users.
Ortho-modding is the car adaptation (seats, pedals, etc.) to help drivers to prevent, correct and diminish light orthopedic and backbone/spine problems.
Eco-modding is the reduction of drag (see Low-energy vehicle), petroleum car adaptation to use renewable energy (generally, changing or adding a new engine or motor), generally hydrogen or electricity. See hybrid car. Occasionally, it has been known to run a Diesel engine on plant and animal oils. See Biodiesel.
Car and engine tuning are modification of a car for enhanced performance, in engine power output, handling, aerodynamics, or cosmetic purposes. See also Vehicle modification.
For example, the machines might be leased from the manufacturer of the machines. If they are ever to be returned, they need to go back in the same kind of condition and engineering shape as when they were first delivered. There is an annual physical inventory to make sure the factory has everything that they are leasing. This audit might be done by representatives of the leasing company, who are looking to see recognizable machines, that match their models and safety rules.

Replacement parts
Caution! The following parts are considered to be a replacement part.
ExplanationDifficulty level:
Important information before you place your order:
We are delighted to provide you with Samsung parts. However, as an independent organization, we need to consider certain terms of delivery of Samsung.
Replacement parts and delivery times:
- Samsung sometimes uses various part numbers for one and the same part. Therefore the part that you receive might have a different part number than the one on your order. However, the specifications of the part are absolutely identical.
- The stock of Samsung parts changes rapidly. Parts that are in stock today could get the status 'ordered' the next day. As an independent organization 2Service does not have any influence on this. Samsung does not notify us about the delay.
- Therefore it might happen that some parts cannot be delivered within the promised 3-5 working days. All we can do is notify you about the status 10 resp. 15 days after your order. In this case you are entitled to cancel your order without giving any reason. After 30 days the order will be cancelled automatically because that particular part probably cannot be delivered anymore. If that should be the case you also will be notified.
We sincerely hope for your understanding.
Payment method:
During the ordering process you can choose one of the following payment methods:
- iDeal
- CreditCard MasterCard
- CreditCard VISA
- American Express
- PayPal
- AfterPay (pay later)
- We also offer dealers the ability to pay on account. However, this payment method requires a dealer login.
Shipping costs:

It's no surprise that disc drives crash: the way read/write heads fly close to a spinning magnetic disc has been likened to a jumbo jet flying a few millimetres off the ground. IBM now thinks it can predict these data-destroying crashes.
The magnetic surface of hard discs is protected by a tough carbon layer covered by a lubricating polymer film. But contaminants from the magnetic layer can corrode the protective layers. If the resulting irregularities become too large, the read/write head can no longer react fast enough to compensate, and it hits the surface and destroys the disc. IBM's answer (US 2003/223315) is for the PC to continuously monitor the head's behaviour and sound a warning when this moves outside preset limits. This gives a few hours' warning that it's time to back up and replace the drive.

Provo is at the south end of a long complex of cities, towns and suburbs extending in both directions from Salt Lake City. Home to Brigham Young University, with 32,000 students, Provo has a strong college-town feel. Orem, just north, is a suburban family community. Provo and Orem are clean and relatively modern in look and feel but traditional in values and culture. There is some industry and commercial development in the immediate area, mostly high tech and service firms.
There is plenty to do in Provo with more options available in the cities along the Wasatch front to the north. The high population and job growth rate combined with a limited geography threaten the city's pleasant atmosphere, and growth and sprawl continue to be an issue. For now, the area is clean and crime is low. Robert Redford's Sundance resort to the east up Provo Canyon adds tourist traffic to the area. Cost of living and housing are moderate by national and regional standards, but have been on the rise.
The area is located in a narrow plain between Lake Bonneville and the front range of the Wasatch. The immediate area is built up with grassland and a few trees to the west. Toward Heber City to the east is steep terrain and dense coniferous alpine forests. Similar to Salt Lake City to the north, the climate is a mountain-influenced semiarid continental type. Summers have hot, dry weather but low humidity and occasional cooling breezes from the mountains. Winters are mostly dry and cold with occasional light rain and infrequent (but sometimes heavy) snow. Because of the altitude and dry air, diurnal temperature changes are dramatic. Summer thunderstorms occur, but they're usually not severe. The valley location can cause air stagnation and quality issues especially in summer. First freeze is mid-October, last is late April.
As of 2014, Provo's population is 113,105 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 9.35 percent.
The median home cost in Provo is $186,300. Home appreciation the last year has been 9.50 percent.
Compared to the rest of the country, Provo's cost of living is 1.90% Higher than the U.S. average.
Provo public schools spend $7,046 per student. The average school expenditure in the U.S. is $12,435. There are about 21.1 students per teacher in Provo.
The unemployment rate in Provo is 2.90 percent(U.S. avg. is 6.30%). Recent job growth is Positive. Provo jobs have Increased by 5.37 percent.

By Ben Horney, Knicks fan since '94
While it's not on the same precise date every year, Mother's Day is always falls smack dab in the middle of the playoffs. The Knicks have played ten times on Mother's Day, and are 5-5 in those games. All 10 games were part of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and all but the first two of the Mother's Day matches have been at Madison Square Garden.
To celebrate, let's take a look back at Mother's Days in Knicks history.
Their first three Mother's Day performances were flops, as the Knicks lost to the Celtics in 1984, the Bulls in 1989 and the Pistons in 1990. In 1992, they finally broke through when they beat Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in Game 4, 93-86, to tie the series at two games apiece. Xavier McDaniel led the Knicks to victory that night (24 points and 7 rebounds), with plenty of help from Patrick Ewing (15 points and 11 rebounds) and John Starks (16 points and five assists off the bench).
Despite ultimately losing that series, the Knicks brought their Mother's Day momentum into the next season, when they defeated the Charlotte Hornets in Game 1, 111-95. The Knicks were led by a typically tremendous Ewing stat line of 33 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and four blocks, with help from Charles Oakley (17 points and 10 boards) and Starks (14 points and 12 assists). Alonzo Mourning foreshadowed the fact that he would be a Knicks rival for years to come, leading the Hornets with 27 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks in the losing effort. The Knicks won the series handily in just five games.
The Knicks kept their Mother's Day winning streak alive a year later, with a 90-86 Game 1 victory over the Bulls. Of course, Michael Jordan was working on his baseball swing at the time -- but even without Jordan, Phil Jackson and Scottie Pippen had led the Bulls to 55 wins that season. The Knicks won this game behind a balanced effort; Ewing led the way (18 points, 12 boards), followed by Starks (17 points). Oakley and Anthony Mason contributed 11 points each. The Knicks would go on to win that series in seven.
After beginning their Mother's Day history with a three-game losing streak followed by a three-game winning streak, the Knicks have split their other four games on the holiday, beginning with a Game 4 loss in 1996 to the Bulls, 94-91. Michael Jordan was back, and simply too much to handle (27 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists). Ewing did all he could (29 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks), but the Knicks fell just short. The Bulls would win the series in five and go on to win the title.
The Knicks bounced back in 1997, defeating the Heat in Game 3, 77-73, behind Patrick Ewing (25 points, 11 rebounds). The Knicks went on to lose the series, however, after a Game 5 brawl led to some controversial suspensions for the Knicks.
In 1998, the Knicks lost Game 4 in overtime to the Pacers, 118-107, behind Reggie Miller's 38 points. The Knicks had a balanced attack in the loss, led by 19 points apiece from Houston and Starks, followed by 18 from Johnson and 17 from Ewing. The Pacers would win the series in five.
2000 was the last time the Knicks played a game on Mother's Day, and they were victorious, winning Game 4 against the Heat, 91-83. The Knicks leading scorer wasn't Ewing, Houston, Johnson or even Latrell Sprewell. It was Charlie Ward, who scored 20 points and had seven rebounds, four assists and three steals. Ewing, nearing the end of his celebrated Knicks career, scored 12 points and had 11 boards. The victory tied the series at two, and the Knicks would go on to win the series in seven.
So who is the Knicks' Mother's Day MVP? Patrick Ewing, who played in nine of the ten possible games, and scored 189 total points (21 per game), grabbed 91 total rebounds (10 per game) and had 14 total blocks (1.6), which is nearly identical to his overall career averages.
Happy Mother's Day!
