Overall score
would recommend to a friend.
Reviewer score
Would recommend
Very good
A very pleasant and inexpensive hotel located in the heart of San Francisco. It is easy to get to from the Powell St. BART stop. A very good buy.
Great location, Outstanding staff
The hotel is just two blocks from Union Square in a very safe and walker friendly neighborhood. While we were there a tour group from Great Britain was there which added charm to the already old world ambiance. A previous poster mentioned the
issues with getting their car from the valet service. Yes, due to parking issues in San Fran, you have to wait 15-30 minutes to have your car retrieved from a local parking garage, but they went above and beyond to make this part of the experience a positive one for us. They retrieved the car at no expense for us when we forgot an item after the car had already been parked. They also talked with the local parking garage to keep them from charging us for an extra day when we were just hours late to pick up the car. I overheard their advice to the Brits regarding recommendations for local restaurants and they did so with both enthusiasm and with great tips. I would highly recommend this hotel for its price, location, charm and helpful staff.
The adjoining pub and two Starbucks within a few blocks made this an easy stay:)
Beresford Hotel
not bad - clean.
Would not recommend
o, it is ok
it s ok
Not bad
Free wi-fi, but only in the lobby. "Continental Breakfast" which included some danish, coffee and juice. Valet parking offered for $27/day. They parked my car and returned it without incident. Overall, it was good for what it was and suited my
Convenient, comfortable, well price hote
Staff was excellent. Internet in lobby only. Great shower. Convenient breakfast. Excellent location. Pay for own shuttle to and from airport.
Beach blanket Babylon
My night in SF(:
I went to see my boyfriend who's away at college and the hotel was conveniently across from his school. The room was kind of small and less than I expected but that was my first time in a one-bed room. It was also VERY noisy, my window looked out
onto Sutter Street and I had a hard time sleeping but that was expected. Overall everything was great.
Charming hotel, friendly staff
The hotel is conveniently located in downtown, just two block east from Union Square and very close to cable cars and public transport. Charming hotel with lots of character. Definitely a deal!! Courteous and friendly staff, always helpful.
Comparable to the service you get from 5-star hotels. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and families.
Very close to Powell where cable cars are. Close to major bus routes whether California or O'Farrell.
great location good bargain
The room was clean, and the staff were very helpful. unfortunately while we were there the kitchen was under renovation. The breakfasts were served in the attached pub which was adequate. The best feature of the hotel was the location and it's
nearness to public transportation and also walking distance to many sights.
when in San Francisco be prepared to walk and allow time to use the public transportation. I f you have never been there before a bus tour is a great way to become acclimated. Bring two pair of walking shoes so you can switch off.
Beresford Hotel is a good value!
This was our first trip to San Francisco. The Beresford was a good hotel for us, because it was affordable and close to the cable car line and Union Square. We bought the transportation passes so that we could use any public transportation in the
city and that was well worth the money. It made the trip to Fisherman's Wharf very easy.
The complimentaty breakfast was a pleasant surprise and we had fun talking to a couple from Germany while we ate.
For the price, it can't be beat!
I attended a conference in the city so I did not spend a great deal of time in the hotel. It was clean, the staff was helpful, and the location is superb - easy to walk to all the cool places of SF and easy to use public transportation!
Great wine bar off Post Street called The Hidden Vine in the Fitzgerald Hotel. Very knowledgeable staff and interesting decor.

Twitter app now available on Windows 8/RT
Ever since its launch, Users of Windows 8 and its ARM-optimized counterpart have only been able to access Twitter on their PCs using a web browser or via third-party application that isn't quite at par with the real thing. Fortunately, that's about to change as Twitter released an app for both of these platforms.
The Twitter app for Windows 8/RT has all the bells and whistles of its siblings that are designed for the other OS. In addition to its basic functionalities, the app also sports a handful of other features that grooves to the platform's beat.
Just like other apps, Twitter for Windows 8/RT can be resized to fit a third or two-thirds of the display to make room for other apps. It also takes advantage of the two sections of the Charm bar, namely Search and Share and makes full use of the Windows Live Tile for updates and notification.
Here's quick demo of Twitter for Windows 8 in action:
Twitter for Windows 8 and Windows RT can be downloaded from Windows Store.

82403EDIT: OR - Merrell Ventilators - Josh Breslow
- Sep 24, 2013
Hi Josh,
I am your editor for your second review. Thanks for the detailed review. I do have quite a lot for you to work on. Once corrected please repost here and put a new HTML version in the test folder. (Delete your old one while you are there please.)
***Manufacturer: Merrell
EDIT: it is Wolverine World Wide, Inc.
***Listed Weight: 1lb 14 oz/pair (850g)
EDIT: I see it as 1 lb 8 oz on the site. Plus you need spaces at the "lb" and the "g"
***Shoe Type: Corss-training
EDIT: "Cross"
***Support: Nylong Shank
EDIT: Nylon
***Measured Weight: 3.5 oz (98 g) for S/M size
I think you need to weigh them again, that can't be correct, plus what is s/m size?
EDIT: you need to credit Merrell for the picture you used
*** The pair of shoes come in a nice but 100% recyclable cardboard box
EDIT: comes
*** I gave it a smell, it smells wonderful, almost like a new car.
EDIT: "I gave it a sniff" or, "I smelled it". If you give it a smell you are making it smell, not smelling.
*** This wasn't a problem for an outdoor enthusiast like myself so I went ahead and lace them up.
EDIT: laced
***The laces themselves are not ordinary laces, they are thick 3/16" (4mm) and round,
EDIT: need a space at the mm, and put the numbers before "thick" they are 3/16" (4 mm) thick and round
*** This will protect the shoes as well as my toes from any toe-stubbing impacts while on the trail.
EDIT: your review jumps all over the place from past tense to present tense, and now future tense. You are reviewing a product that you have plenty of experience with. Therefore the sentence should be; This protects the shoes and my toes from toe-stubbing impacts while on the trail.
***The leather helps protect the shoe and give it support while the mesh helps it breathe.
EDIT: and "gives" it
*** My foot rests on a .18in (4.5mm) footbed
EDIT: My foot rests on a 0.18 in (4.5 mm) footbed (You need spaces between numbers and the abbreviations always, and a 0 before decimals)
***The outsole is constructed of "Vibram Multi-Sport Sole/TC-5+ Rubber" and when new has a .2in (5mm) sole lug depth.
EDIT: see above. Please go through the rest of the review looking for all instances of this.
*** While walking on roads, the shoe does seem a bit stiff and doesn't seem to roll with the foot like a less stiff should would.
EDIT: less stiff "shoe" would
***Once you hit the trails that feeling goes away and you welcome the solid structure.
EDIT: We keep everything in the first person, no "you"s, just "me" and "I". Here is my canned explanation.
"When you tighten the laces on the boots, you pull the shoestrings in an out and upward motion. Then you tie it with a double knot and you are ready to go down the trail."
This is a very common way to write, but in doing so we just said what "other people" would do, not ourselves. This is projecting our thoughts onto the reader. We do not know how other people tie their shoes. We keep away from "you" and "your" in our writing.
We are writing a review of "our" gear based on "our" experiences. So we need to keep it in the first person. Here is how it should look;
"When I tighten the laces on the boots, I pull the shoestrings in an out and upward motion. Then I tie it with a double knot and I'm ready to go down the trail."
*** The shoes fit so well that even when wet they stay attached to your feet and do not slip and slide around which have caused blisters. They have incredible traction even when wet or snow covered. The extra protection on the toe-box is great when you have to kick-step in snow.
EDIT: see above
*** It was a long 3-day backpacking trip, pack load of about 20lbs (9.07kg) over 38 miles
EDIT: need the metric conversion for the distance, plus all the spaces mentioned before
***I have one issue with these shoes that I have also had with other Merrell cross-training shoes.
EDIT: Merrell does not call these cross-trainers (I have lows and mids myself), they call them hiking shoes. Maybe just say that you have seen the same problem with many of your Merrell shoes.
***Fabric seam in back of the shoe which can bother some people
EDIT: don't project your feelings on others (some people). Just keep it about you and your feelings about the shoe.

Choies Leopard Black Dress with Embellished Stone Collar
Fascination Embellished Heels
Put some spring in your step, literally, with these flower-bedecked teal velveteen heels. The 4.25" heel is a bit of a challenge to walk in, but so worth it when you consider that it makes your legs look about ten miles long.
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder
Available in six shades to suit nearly every complexion, this finishing powder is pretty much Photoshop in compact form. Filled with tiny illuminating particles that attract and diffuse light, it gives a soft-focus glow to skin that's infinitely flattering. Use different shades to highlight, bronze, contour, and perfect your skin.
Citrus Grove Peach Color Block Shift Dress
Marc by Marc Jacobs Small Katie Bracelet

J.Crew Collared Eyelet Tee
If a bright melon-hued, eyelet fabric, Peter Pan-collared tee doesn't scream "spring is here!!!", then we don't know what does. Pair this cheery, sheer shirt with a camisole and jeans, cardigan and skirt, or any other number of fun warm weather options.
Yosi Samra Leather Ballet Flats
Most packable (read: fold-and-stuff-into-your-purse-able) flats are made from cheap material that wears out after just a few uses. Not these ballet-pink leather ones! With oodles of comfort, an elasticated top line, and a split sole, they might take on favorite shoe status and never actually end up getting tucked into your purse.
Bee Charming Dark Floral Banana Bark Bangle Bracelet
Slide on this banana bark bangle bracelet (say that ten times fast!) plastered with a patchwork of vibrant floral and batik patterns, and you'll be hard-pressed to avoid compliments all day.

Put away that smartphone- watches are the way to tell time again. Sara Designs combines a functional timepiece with a funky piece of jewelry in this colorful wrap watch. Metal meets leather in a hip statement bracelet that will make you yearn for people to ask you what time it is.
Laptop Desk
Picture it: You are being served a delicious breakfast in bed. Or better yet, you are lounging on the veranda, sipping tea while a gentle spring breeze rustles the pages of the magazine you are leafing through. Sigh. A girl can dream, right? If you are lucky enough to nab either of these experiences, EJbutik's smart little laptop desk/tray is a great way to balance your scones or iPad. Desks are available in several sizes, wood finishes and fabric choices, but we think a whitewashed surface and spring-inspired floral is the way to go.
Lusine Cream Rose and Lavender Clematis Origami Wreath
Spring has sprung, and this painstaking, hand-folded origami wreath celebrates the season with bright bursts of color and artistry. The geometric structures of the flowers and leaves make this a refreshing take on the traditional spring faux flower wreath.
Meet Chippmunk
Wouldn't it be awesome to have a personal coupon stash? Without the actual paper coupons cluttering up your bag, of course. And no math required- no figuring out minimum purchases and percentages off. And zero expiration dates, and not even a mention of restrictions. Then, if you could pair those miracle coupons with an easy and streamlined way to shop with them, well, now we're talking retail heaven. Think of all of the time you would save, no longer wandering the mall aimlessly or numbly staggering around the internet, waiting for something- but you don't quite know what- to jump out and grab you. That you can also get a really great deal on.
Yes, technically, you could hire a personal shopper and train them to do your gift purchasing and coupon corralling for you, but man, that would be super time consuming and expensive.
What you need in a gift home base- a jumping off point to begin your purchases. A website that would, say, present you with a wide array of shops that have oodles of gifts ready and waiting- all within your budget.
You should meet Chippmunk. Chippmunk, this clever little creature, is your virtual, fur-covered personal shopper with buck teeth. Chippmunk snatches coupons likes acorns, for tons of major retailers, and sorts them by your budget and by what type of gift you're looking for. You set the parameters, and Chippmunk scuttles around gathering the best deals for you. All in one, easy place.
Don't panic, you don't need to know exactly what you're looking for, which is actually the best thing about Chippmunk. Thinking about sending flowers to your Nana for her birthday, or clothing to a friend's new baby? Tell Chippmunk, and he'll get you started on the right path. Chippmunk will tell you that FTD has the best deal for Nana, but you might also want to look atProFlowers, too- they'll toss in a free balloon. And BabyGap will ship that new baby gift for free if you use the right coupon code, which Chippmunk has oh-so thoughtfully grabbed for you, just in case.
So you might not be able to get out of doing all of the work of gift-giving, but Chippmunk can make it infinitely easier and keep you both under budget and sane. Oh, and it's totally free. Amazing, we know! Go on and go, we don't mind- you know you want to check it out.

I am the Environmental Economist of CER | the Voice of European Railways.
I cover various topics including climate and energy policies and local externalities.
I am covering a wide range of policy topics including:
Transport White Paper
2030 climate and energy policy framework
EU ETS Directive
Renewable Energy Directive
Energy Efficiency Directive
Internalisation of external costs
Reducing rail noise
Adaptation to Climate Change
I manage Environment Group.
- Involved and collaborated in project management
- Audited transport infrastructure & delivered feasibility reports
- Modeled GIS-based solutions for intermodal transport terminals
- Acted as subcontractor for consulting firms in projects
- Drafted European Framework project proposals
- Organized conferences and workshops
Worked in the Strategic Management and Steering department for six months as an international trainee.
A year is almost over and my experience with the new job is growing.
Among other things, I have contributed to two articles this year that you may access online. One article on the current sustainability goals for the EU and another one on an important externality rail noise.
Transport poses two major sustainability challenges: greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and dependence on imported oil. Railway transportation has very favourable characteristics on both counts, making modal shift in favour of rail a naturally attractive policy goal.
Railways have an almost negligible impact on climate and environment compared to other modes of transport. The only remaining environmental challenge for the European rail sector is noise – a side effect of railway operation. For European Railway Review, Libor Lochman, Executive Director of The Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies (CER) and colleagues Ethem Pekin (Environment Economist) and Enno Wiebe (Senior Advisor for ERA and Research-Related Issues), explain that the sector has a long history of noise mitigation and is committed to continuing to make progress based on cost-effective solutions.
Both were published at the European Railway Review.
I am not blogging for some time. New job and a new challenge. I will be opening my apartment for exhibiting a small photo project. This concerns Parcours d'artistes 2014.

Enjoy the video!
Last month I have travelled to Rio de Janeiro for participating the World Conference on Transport Research | WCTR 2013. The conference was big and had some interesting sessions, especially when I have also presented my paper about the Twin Hub project. The cultural experience was also important for me as I was traveling to this part of the world for the first time. I have actually extended my stay in the region. I normally like to stay in a city for long so I decided to limit my stay to Rio and Buenos Aires. Two major cities in two neighboring countries. In this blog post I would like to share my observations about the public transport in these two cities.
First of all I would like to mention that the Christian youth movement (and the Pope) were in the town during my stay therefore the 6.3 million of population was already extended to 8 million. The city was big. It was the first and correct impression you get while the plane landed the international airport|Galeão. It was a hot crowded Sunday afternoon and we decided to take a cab to reach our hotel in the Barra da Tijuca region of the city. The distance was almost 40 kilometers and bus connections were going to take very long (more than 1 hour). We were two from my department and already arranged a carpool with another researcher that we have met in the passport control. It costed 180 BRL (60 Euro) in total. There were many taxis around, usually equipped with CNG (compressed natural gas) tanks.Taxi ride in Rio
During our stay we have used a small boat to cross a river as walking from our hotel to the conference hotel was requiring a big detour. This was fun experience. Barra da Tijuca had recently acquired a rapid bus system | BRT. These busses were running up and down the big avenue. The long avenue actually splits the neighborhoods into half and when you are driving you need to go all the way back to have a U turn. During the conference period we have mainly used taxi to go short distances.
I have also stayed in the center of Rio following the conference, namely in the Santa Terasa district. This district had until 2011 a tram line. Due to a derail accident which resulted the tram line is suspended and hopefully be re-opened in 2014 with an improved infrastructure. The city is highly dependent on buses. 4 million people are traveling per day using 440 bus lines! The conference package also included a Rio Card which can be used in the public transport network of the city. I have started to use the electronic card to travel in the metro and bus for the coming days. The metro line covering 42 kilometers with 32 stations seems to be not enough but for a tourist route it was great. I was able to reach Copacabana beach and also use it to reach Sugar Loaf mountain due to integrated bus system. The city also has ferry lines to the neighboring town of Niterói. There are future metro extension plans to connect this city with underground metro line. The ferry experience was rather crazy. It was really very crowded but things worked perfectly. The company has counters and they control the capacity. The journey took 15 minutes, I was standing. In the return I was able to sit.Gym facility
Another observation is about the buses, you can use your Rio Card to enter the bus from the front or pay 2.5 BRL (0.90 Euro) at a person who is sitting on the right side of the bus front door. Every bus is equipped with a turn-gate system. I have witnessed many times arguments between the passengers, driver and the ticket controller. Furthermore busses are driving very fast and sometimes not stopping at the bus stops. You have to jump, make yourself seen by the driver and even chase the bus. A final remark on the positive side is the bus stops in the city are equipped with basic gym exercise facilities. Overall, Rio is not a very easy city to move from A-B unless you get yourself familiar with the bus network and plan your trip connecting to the metro line. I have seen some similarities between Istanbul and Rio.
I had 4 nights of stay in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. Compared to Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires is half the site with only 2.9 million inhabitants. I have landed to the international airport Ministro Pistarini on a cold winter day! Although I have ready about the shuttle bus system, I have taken a taxi to my hotel, which was in the city center. The system was pre-paid that you can arrange it in the arrival hall of the airport. The distance was 35 kilometers and cost was 250 ARS (35 Euro). The city planned as square and rectangular grid system was walkable unlike Rio, where the geography limits you.
During my stay I have walked a lot but also took the metro. Subte is the first underground network in South America, which was built on 1913. It has 6 lines covering 52 kilometers with 74 stations. There are many plans to have extensions. Just like Rio, Buenos Aires is also depending a lot on buses. 150 bus lines are covering the city. Unfortunately the bus system is not integrated and it is very difficult for a tourist to get a grip on the network. Except for returning from Boca district I have never took a bus during my stay. For the metro I have bought single use tickets, which costs 2.5 ARS (0.35 Euro).End of tracks
I was photographing old tram tracks covered with asphalt. Until 1960's the city had 857 kilometers of tram network, which then was dismantled. What a sad story! Since the second half of 2000's light rail systems and modern trams are introduced. Just like Rio the city also has a BRT system, named as Metrobus. I was amazed to see long and wide avenues. With size I mean 35 kilometers long and 140 meters wide. Crossing the avenues were a challenge! The city has green ways, which are computer controlled traffic lights system to have flow of traffic with fixed speed driving. Overall the dependence on road is very high. Old trucks, cars, taxis and busses are passing by. The old-school image of the busses do not compensate the damage they are causing for the environment.
This is the story of two cities and my adventures in their public transport system. I hope you enjoyed the blog post with my photography from the trip.

Help diagnose a problem. Fuel Pump??
My FE 570 left me high and dry yesterday and I am looking for some thoughts to diagnose before bring into the dealer.
I had a 70 degree tank installed a couple of weeks ago and the bike did a solid 180 mile day of riding after with no issues. I came home cleaned the bike as shinny as I could getting ready for the next big outing.
New Years Eve I had plans of doing a ride in the next morning so I fill the tank and head into the house to get my gear ready. I smelt fuel coming from the garage so I look around and fuel is weeping from the rear tank a little when its on the side stand so I chalk it up to filling it to full.
The next morning I load up and drive out to the meeting spot about 60 miles from home. Still a little fuel smell but the bike starts and runs fine. We take off and do about 10 miles of road and 45 of dirt when we stop everything is good except that my spark arrestor is loose (I lost one on the ride before) I tighten it and we take off.
After about another 4 miles (if that) I start loosing power and the bike starts surging and more power loss. I pull over to see whats up but see nothing out of the ordinary except my spark arrestor is gone (again) . It will start for about 5 seconds and die, again and again. I check the breather lines of both tanks and they are good, the plug seams fine as it sparks and starts fine. I add about a ½ gallon of fuel to see if the rear tank is not getting fuel to the main but the main has plenty of fuel.
I take off and try the other mapping with the switch but after about 2 more miles I pull over as the bike is done. The end cap on the exhaust it warm and getting dis-colored meaning the bike is running lean. Another rider comes back and helps out and we take the fuel filter out of the tank and check some other things but it is a no go. I ended up having to get towed back 35 miles to town and now the bike is in the garage.
I have read of some fuel pump issues but nothing specific on the 09 FE 570, could this be the problem?

I think your injector is clogged. Remove and soak in carb cleaner or what have you. Compressed air?
The leaking of the sub tank is addressed back in this thread.. The top screw in plug on the sub tank needs thread tape.

After replacing my injector I took a photo to illustrate the difference between an injector orifice size and standard carb jets.
The comparison in orifice is obvious which creates a concern in keeping your system clean, specifically ethanol stabilizer.
The injector orifice is smaller thus more fuel efficient but more susceptible to clogging faster.
I now carry a spare, just in case.
As long as your using the newer fuel pump with the brown electrode cover, you should be fine.
Some dealers still have old stock and sell you the white colored so examine it before purchase.

If you run Seafoam 1 oz per gallon in you fuel your injectors will stay clean.
Seafoam is basically isopropanol and penetrating oil. Prevents ethanol and water from forming an acid that eats the aluminum fuel pumps and clogs the injectors with aluminum oxide particles that are too small to be filtered.
BMW F800GS has the same small orifices on their injector heads.
I replaced the stock injectors with less than 1000 miles on my BMW and since have added 24,000 miles with Seafoam at every fill up. No Issues. Berg is also doing great on the Seafoam diet with over 2,000. miles

I can handle the increased service intervals but I wonder about how realistic it would be to replace my WRR. My typical day ride is 1-200 miles, 50% Pavement, 30% Gravel and 20% Primitive 2 Tracks / Moderate Trail.
Any thoughts?

I've not ridden a WRR but I have dual-sported my FE (made road-legal with various KTM/Husaberg parts) for the past 600+ miles in New England woods on D606s. The bike feels very much like a dirtbike when on pavement, not a dual-sport bike. The seat is brutal while on pavement. The tranny is kinda tight for pavement duty, and there's already a bit of a gap between 2nd & 3rd gear (which I only notice when riding a long uphill). Speeds above 40 mph would be well served by balanced wheels (probably need another rim lock on the front), but it's otherwise capable of keeping up with most traffic.
The 390's powerplant is an absolute gem, with seamless power that's easy to manage and tough to get out of shape with (compared to a 450). The heft of the bike isn't light, but it handles lightly. I don't think you'll get on it and think, "WOW! This thing's light!" But the motor is something you can end up not thinking much about at all -- it's always "there," so you don't need to. Regular maintenance is straightforward, and easy enough to access (oil change, valve inspection).
If you're the type of rider that's keen on skimming the tops of whoops, the 390 may not be the bike for you, as the moderate power and soft suspension do not make that an easy task. If you want power that's always "there" but don't want any unexpected thrust, the 390 may be the bike for you. I downsized from a Husky 450 to the FE390, and am extremely happy with it off-road. I can tolerate it on pavement. I do miss the 450 power at times, but I don't miss it MUCH more often. The 390 is more of a mountain goat than a gazelle, so it makes the gnarly stuff a lot more fun. And we've got plenty of that stuff around here.

This FE390 is a better dualsport than I even imagined it would be. Shockingly good on the road and slab. I've run 65 - 70 mph very comfortably with no vibration or shimmy.....on the stock Bridgestone MX tires it came with, no less! And, its not even straining the motor at that....6th gear is quite tall. I've not tested her upper limits yet, but there's a lot more throttle left to twist and plenty of rpm to climb yet.
In the woods, it makes the hard stuff seem....well....not so hard really. Feels like cheating to me. Its kind of like riding a Trials bike with big power and plenty of comfort. Silky smooth motor with flawless FI metering, wonderful suspension, and very stable handling. I'm climbing over rocks and logs forgetting I'm not on a trials bike....which is bound to get me in a pickle soon.
I've also noticed I don't get very fatigued while riding it....don't wake up sore the next day, like I would after a full day of hard riding the WRR in the rough. I think I've taken my WRR beyond where it was intended to go. And, she has performed admirably, all things considered (including its 300 lbs). In comparison, this FE390 is an absolute dream. Please don't wake me up.
Its pure joy on the forest roads and two-track, while letting me explore much more single track than I cared to before. And, that is leading me to new discovers in my own backyard like this (just yesterday).
We basically rode right up the rocky creek until we dead-ended in this bowl. It would have been too challenging on the WRR to make it worthwhile...much more difficult than what you see around the bikes in photo. But it was actually quite manageable on the 390, and totally worth any extra sweat (which was slight at best).
She's a really good climber too. Got me up to this Buzzard Roost in short order:
Yes, we have some nice mountains in Okiehoma too. But don't come here.....the Natives will scalp every third alien visitor, and the 2nd one "just left".
If you want to primarily ride in a localized manner and never fear the terrain, BUY the FE390
If you want to adventure across the country long distances just winging it with no particular schedule or destination, KEEP the WRR. The Berg does NOT have a 400 watt alternator like the WRR. So, it won't be running any heated gear for you. That is a primary advantage of the WRR, for certain....along with less maintenance over the long haul.
By the way, this 390 gets very good fuel mileage. Doesn't seem to drink much gas at all. I haven't measured it, but guessing I'm 40+ mpg, maybe higher.
I recently finished wiring up all the street lights. Took some figuring out (without any instructions), but all the connectors were there to plug-n-play the wiring harness. Just takes some patience while digging around. Or, let the dealer do it for you. Its very cool that its already pre-wired for it from the factory.
Go for it...
p.s. I did encounter my first major problem while on said Buzzard Roost at the very spot in photo above. Bike would not restart....nothing....nada....nilch when I pushed the button. I soon isolated the problem to a bad Starter Relay. It would click once then fail to energize the contact. I tried unsuccessfully push starting the bike. That's certainly a greater challenge than I anticipated.....something you better practice at home, then have a Plan B. I was finally able to get it fired up by shorting across the Relay terminal with my pocket knife blade. Harsh on the system, I know, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Anybody else have this problem on their Husaberg? Probably a whole Thread about it that I'm not even aware.

If I had to pick one word descriptor of the FE390 it would be: effortless
It still takes a Rider, mind you, making proper decisions and inputs. While she is quite forgiving, she's not a cure for "stupid". So, let's keep it in perspective.
The feeling in motion is effortless. I don't really feel the weight of the machine. Its a rather fascinating sensation which I've not experienced on other machines.
Now then, she is a tall bike. You need to be comfortable riding a tall bike. I have a 32" inseam and am comfortable on it. I don't need to be flat footed on the ground paddling thru the rocks. This pony responds much better to rider inputs while the feet are on the pegs. It doesn't like walking thru rubble. It much prefers riding thru it.....effortlessly.
My bike came off the showroom floor a little too lean for my taste. Weird because it was still silky smooth.....lean usually produces a snatchy take-off. But, it had a tendency to wheez or flame-out when charging into a corner and chopping off the throttle, then hammering back on. However, the Cyborg set me up with a big-time fix. A dealer remapped the ECU with the FX450 competition fuel map and Ho-Chi-Momma is it ever running PERFECT now. That there is the best improvement to the bike you could probably ever make.....and a necessary one at that.
The Seat....surprisingly I like it. I keep thinking it too hard, but my butt isn't getting uncomfortable on that thing, even after a full day of riding. But I do prefer to wear LD Comfort shorts (underwear) which may help a bunch. No padding in the shorts, but also no seams to be sitting on with pressure. Fantastic product....all the LD Comfort wear. So, I'm not going rush out for a new seat, just yet. The stocker seams to fit me and work well enough.

Other than the lower wattage output, it seems you enjoy the 'Berg more than the WRR. That's good news!
Can the wattage be increased, i.e. the stator rewound or replaced?
Also, what about the 'Berg's carrying capacity? Without a metal subframe, are there any aftermarket frames available to add saddle bags? And is the stock bike capable of carrying Giant Loop's Great Basin (for long trips) on the plastic subframe?

Stator upgrades are easy. Plenty of guys riding Bergs with GL Coyotes on back and tank bags. I would think if you can put a 70 degree subframe tank and the weight associated with the extra fuel, you should be able to run a Great Basin.
I've set 1 of my FEs up with a 13/48 combo. With balanced wheels (necessity imho) she will run 70-80 all day long. With a little wind protection and extra fuel, the Berg would make a fine adventure bike. As far as maintenance...no valve adjustments req'd at 30+ hours on 2010 FE 450 or 40+ hours on 2011.
I will tell you that the closed cartridge forks on the 2011 and later are far superior to the open cartridge on the 09 and 10s.
Ride the BLUE wave and enjoy life.

I appreciate you taking the time to thoughtfully lay out your views of the bike. I am damn near sold.....
I wish I had the time to wander aimlessly around but my riding is localized and based out of my Land Cruiser and a trailer. I have racked up less than 5K miles on the WRR in 3 years. Usually via a half dozen trips in the summer where I rack up between 100 and 300 miles exploring the local National Forests. I also have taken longer trailered trips to Moab and Colorado. I have never tried heated accessories so I am not too worried about that.
Now its time to find a 2011 FE390.....

College Football Spotlight: The Playoff Begins Now
The College Football Playoff will determine college football's first national champion in the new playoff model in January, but the real playoff begins this weekend.
Keidel: Giving Thanks For Sports
Since we are upon our great day of gratitude, a pretext for gorging on poultry and then taking our swollen torsos to the nearest television for some football, let's look to sports for reasons to give thanks.
Heisman Watch: Mariota And Gordon Leading The Race Down Final Stretch
Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota looks to be the favorite this season, but Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon also has a decent shot to win the award. Everybody else may be playing for third place.
Heisman Watch: J.T. Barrett Has Led Ohio State's Resurrection As Playoff Contender
If you are looking for this year's young rising star with a shot to win the Heisman Trophy, look no further than Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett. The freshman starting quarterback has stepped into a tough spot and has grown and matured along the way with terrific results.

Ah, the sex tape. Remember when it was a huge deal when Pam Anderson & Tommy Lee's sex tape came out in the late 90s? They are commonplace now, with everyone from Kim Kardashian to Jamie Foxx to Verne "Mini Me" Troyer doing it on film for the world to see. Even Carrie Prejean has one (although not one the world has seen - yet).
As 2010 approaches and we look back on a decade of celebrity sex, who do you think is the naughtiest sex tape of the naughties?
Hilton was 19 when she dated and taped herself with Rick Salomon. The 2004 release of "1 Night in Paris" was against Paris' wishes she claimed, and the exes sued each other, eventually settling out of court.
Verne Troyer taped a sexual encounter with former live-in girlfriend Ranae Shrider only to have it taken by a third party and released in 2008.
The former "Saved By The Bell" nerd starred in "Screeched", aka "Saved by the Smell," released in 2006. He initially pretended he was horrified at the tape's release, but Diamond's manager admitted he hoped the tape would raise Diamond's profile.
Paris Hilton's former BFF had a sex tape of her own released in 2007. Shot with former boyfriend Ray J, Kardashian's tape was released by Vivid. Kardashian sued and reportedly received $5 million.
Shot in 2003 with ex-girlfriend Nicole Narain, the Farrell tape was first released in 2005. He sued and had it taken down, but the 14-minute tape surfaced again in 2006, only to be removed again.
The former wrestling star made and sold a porn of herself with then-boyfriend Sean Waltman in 2004.
Former Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst was not happy when, in 2005, a hacker allegedly stole and released a tape of him having sex with a model. He sued.
Lewis taped parts of a Las Vegas trip with husband Travis Wolfe in 2004. The tape got out and she claimed theft. The NYDN later reported she owned the site that released the tape and shared in the profits.
Not technically a tape of sex, but Eric Dane's naked bath time with wife Rebecca Gayheart and former Miss Teen USA Kari Ann Peniche was filmed in 2007 and leaked to Gawker in August 2009.
Not released, the reportedly solo tape Prejean sent a boyfriend is one of up to seven she made for him when she was either 17 (she says) or 20 (he says). The tape's existence ended her lawsuit against the Miss California pageant. .
The Kiss frontman starred in a grainy black and white video having sex with a model named Elsa while keeping his t-shirt on. The tape surfaced in 2008, and Simmons dismissed it as garbage.

Fort Greene Park the borough's first outdoor recreation area came into being in 1848 at the urging of Walt Whitman, then editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. In 1858, the park was so heavily used (and showing it) that talk began of building an even larger one to the south. In 1867, with work on Prospect Park proceeding apace, Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux were hired to redesign Fort Greene Park (then known as Washington Park). Their plans, at top, called for a vault to hold the remains of American soldiers who had died on the British prison ships that had been anchored in Wallabout Bay during the
War of 1812 Revolutionary War. The Panic of 1873 resulted in only a scaled-back version (bottom photo) being actualized: The observatory and rostrum were omitted and only the foundation for the Martyrs Memorial was built. The revitalized park was still a big hit and led to a construction boom of brownstones in the surrounding area.

Very interesting piece.
Revolutionary War, not War of 1812.
Book says War of 1812…
It was the Revolutionary War, however since many of the American corpses had been superficially buried by the Brits in the banks of the East River they were still being exhumed (or just washing up) in the early years of the 19th century. This is one of the most heinous — and most little known — events of the Rev. War. More Americans died on those prison ships (starvation, beatings, cholera etc) than on all the battlefields of the war combined.
Book is wrong. The British occupied New York City through much of the revolutionary war. over ten thousand people died on the prison ships. Or at least that is what the plaque on the monument says.
OK. The people have spoken…
looking forward to reading more BK history facts.
And there is so much more to the story. The Martyrs' Monument, which now is at the site shown was the last design by noted architect Stanford White and dedicated in 1908 with President-elect Taft in attendence. The Monument is now shrouded and being restored. The park has a very active Conservancy and a website http://www.fortgreenepark.org.

Mia's City
We arrived safely in Changsha on Sunday. Smile, our guide, was there to greet us at the airport in Changsha. All of the Chinese guides pick another name that is Americanized or easier to pronounce. Mia decided Smile was appropriate because he smiled all of the time. In contrast to our driver that did not smile. However, he was a great driver and he did get us everywhere we needed to go in Yueyang. Believe me that is no small feet as we watched him skillfully navigate through the mess ...
Tea island
I had enough of lines so I decided to go to less touristy places the rest of the time I had off. The next day, I headed to Yueyang, where I would attempt to board a ferry to a mysterious island where a very special tea is grown. When you make it, the leaves stand up straight, like needles in your pot. Ok, so Yueyang is only 1.5 hours away. I got there at about 10:30 but got hopelessly lost in a crazy, smelly Chinese market.

Acura Integra Problem Report
Acura Integra "No start" Due to Failed Fuel Pump (Main) Relay
(32 reports)
The main relay, which supplies power to the fuel pump, can fail. The engine will crank but fail to start (or start intermittently).
Car would not start unless you turned the key many many many times until it would randomly crank. Replaced main relay and problem was fixed - Visitor

happens when hot outside. gets hot under dash where located and sometimes starts alright, sometimes starts after waiting a few minutes and towards the end wouldnt start at all in the heat of the day. replaced it and all is well again. fairly easy repair, under steering wheel up under dash. - Visitor

car will start normal but some days if its hot out the car wont seem to start,i thought it was the distributor then the cap then the roter but nothing seemed to work till i looked up that if you park on a hill or a hot day the fuel pump dose not send fuel to the engine due to the main relay - Visitor

Engine would only start intermittently when warm (e.g., after getting gas). Removed fuel pump relay, resoldered the terminals, and reinstalled. Problem solved easily and cheaply. - Visitor

I have had a new fuel filter, new plugs, wires, battery, and other miscellaneous parts put on to fix this problem. It is still not fixed. I will be looking for a fuel pump relay to see if this solves the issue. The car starts with no problem for long periods of time, then suddenly it turns over but won't fire and I have to shoot starting fluid into it and it will start up almost every time. Once it starts having issues, I do not take it far from home just in case. If I have no issues for a couple of months, I will take it out of town. I have also had this problem in hot weather, but no limited to hot weather. - Visitor

2001 Honda Accord randomly not starting. The car has a new battery so that is not the issue. Apparently it is the fuel pump main relay. Quick fixes: You can either slide your key into the ignition very slowly or you can start it normally and hold the key forward. Permanent fixes: Replace the relay or open up the old one and solder the cracked contact joints inside. - Visitor

About MrsAbs
In the past few years, I have grown from loving takeout meals and microwave dinners to making 90% of my own food from scratch. My kitchen skills have grown out of necessity - from a cost and health perspective. I'm a vegan, avoid sugar and try to eat a low-oil diet - along with keeping kosher. I'm also allergic to gluten and dairy. I'm lucky enough to own a vitamix, a myraid of amazing cookbooks, a slow cooker/pressure cooker combo, and a fantastic Wusthof knife - all of which make my time the kitchen more enjoyable!�
Becoming a vegan has opened my palate incredibly - I now eat foods I would never have considered before, and produce is my best monthly food expense by far!�

When you leave the military, the biggest question is "what's next?" It's a scary job market right now, but the skills you've received in the military make you highly marketable. The Legion sponsors dozens of veterans hiring fairs each year, and our employment experts also provide tips to writing resumes, networking and making a strong impression in the interview process.
In a report addressed to President Obama and timed to coincide with the current media focus on Veterans Day, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has released a list of recommendations designed to encourage the growth of the veteran-owned small business community.
The 32-page report was issued on Nov. 8 by the Interagency Task Force on Veterans Small Business, which was created in April 2010 by President Obama. Participants of the task force included seven federal agencies and four veterans service organizations, including The American Legion. At the recommendation of American Legion Economic Division director Joe Sharpe, the Legion was represented by former Economic Commission Chairman Dan Dellinger, a highly experienced small businessman. Dellinger says the group began bi-monthly, public meetings in September 2010 with conference calls to augment the sessions.
In the end, the task force created 18 recommendations for veteran small business development. Dellinger explains, "One of the first things we did was to extend SBA's Patriot Express program for another three years. We did that even before this (SBA) report came out. If we saw something that we could implement immediately, we did."
The SBA's Patriot Express program provides low-interest loans for the start-up, development and expansion of veteran owned small businesses. The program was set to expire last December.
Dellinger also talked of the task force's efforts to better facilitate the acquisition of small business seed and support money. "We wanted to streamline the process to get SBA loans," he said. "It was mind boggling. You basically had to take classes in order to apply for these loans. The paperwork, we thought, was too extensive, so we worked to simplify it."
In its report, the task force recommends making more money available for veteran and service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses. One method is to "leverage new and existing lending commitments as a vehicle to increase access to capital." Another is to "increase awareness access and utilization of microloans in the veteran-owned small business community." The SBA's micro-loan program provides small, short-term loans to small business concerns by making funds available to specially designated intermediary lenders, who then make loans to eligible borrowers. The average micro-loan is about $13,000 with a maximum of $50,000.
Another recommendation from the report is to "vest the GI Bill benefits as a property right, allowing veterans to use funds for both education and small business creation activities such as counseling and business financing." Dellinger expanded on this idea. "Some of the people who are in the service currently - which includes National Guard and reserve members - already have academic degrees, so educational benefits as they are now aren't really relevant. We thought, 'Why not apply the monies that would have been expended on education toward small business opportunities?'"
The Department of Defense's Transition Assistance Program (TAP), which prepares soon-to-be discharged servicemembers for re-entry into civilian life, also drew the attention of the task force. Dellinger said the group would like to see the TAP curriculum expanded to include education about entrepreneurship. "Over the next five years," Dellinger said, "I think there are supposed to be a million servicemembers transitioning out. So, we felt it was increasingly important to give those who want to start a small business an educational background through the TAP program on how to not only go into business, but succeed in it."
Dellinger was asked what he thought the fate of the recommendations contained in the Veterans Small Business report will be. He replied, "I think what's going to happen is that the areas that are going to require money will basically languish at this point, until we get through the economic crisis we're in. But some of the other recommendations that don't require actual money - other than what's already been set aside, such as the expansion of the TAP curriculum - will go forward."
Finally, Dellinger offered praise for fellow members of the task force. "It's been an honor to serve with everybody on the committee from other veterans organizations and the government. It was very gratifying to see the government agencies work together. They went across their boundaries to help our service men and women and our veterans achieve their dreams of owning a small business."
Dellinger said it is his understanding that the task force may remain in existence for another year to monitor implementation of its recommendations.
Besides involvement in the Interagency Task Force on Veterans Small Business, The American Legion has been, for the past several years, staging free-of-charge small business development workshops for entrepreneurial veterans wishing to do business with the federal government. The Legion's Economic Division also maintains a Small Business Task Force to encourage the creation and growth of veteran-owned businesses.

GoPro HERO Wide action cam goes high-def
By Ben Coxworth - December 27, 2009 6 Pictures
In the past few years, several companies have started selling tiny, rugged, inexpensive "action" video cameras designed to be mounted on wild-n-crazy vantage points such as mountain bike helmets, hang-gliders or even model rockets (yes, it's been done). Up until recently, however, a common complaint about these cameras was that their lenses weren't wide enough to capture all the action. That problem was squarely addressed with the autumn 2008 release of a new camera, the GoPro HERO Wide. Now, GoPro has gone one better by introducing a High-Definition version of that same model.

OUTFIT: i have a crush on so many things that aren't people.
i have chosen the title because its the truth outspoken. in my teenage years i have been more interested in books than in people. it fortunately changed in the course of years, when i recognized that people are much more complex than i have thought before. yet still i'm very much in love with things non-human - books, the beauty of music, nature, works of art, photography, clothings and jewellery (also a work of art!) and cars ... theres so much beauty around and i want to absorb it all into my heart and my soul.
i hope you like our super fun session and photos!

[en] hello my dears! today i want to show you some impressions of our very first selfmade sushi session. le boy and me love sushi very much, regardless of whether it is nigiri or maki sushi (and now also onigiri!). i have already made inari sushi before - those fried tofu bags filled with sushi rice (which are also eaten in korea where they are called yubuchobap, slightly different in shape and ingredients for the rice) but never tried maki and nigiri. maki sushi is also known in korea, where you have scrambled eggs inside, pan-fried sesame, cucumber, pickled radish and broad slices. so they are different to maki sushi in japanese cuisine where you mostly have solely one ingredient in the middle of your rice and nori slices. also they are very narrow and high. le boy and me chose traditional cucumber and pickled radish for our maki sushi. some rolls were made with one ingredient, others were combined.
for our nigiri we chose traditional tuna and salmon filets which we bought just a few hours before at the fresh fish counter at scheck-in in baden-baden and with the rest of our fish filets we created sashimi slices, bedded upon white radish slices.
and OMG it was DE-LI-CIOUS! you gotta try it. it's not that difficult to create your own sushi plate. it is solely important that you choose extremely fresh fish filets for your nigiri (because it is to be eaten raw) and water your hands regularly because the rice is really, really sticky.
in this post i will also share a recipe for sushi rice, so you can create your own sushi in time! enjoy!

TRAVELLING LOVE: wissembourg, alsace - sweet french cliché.
[en] hello my dears! today i want to show you some impressions of our trip to wissembourg some days ago. wissembourg is a small town in the region alsace-lothringen - a beautiful little town with half-timbered houses with cast iron balconies, overly decorated with odorous flowers, beautiful cafés with many seatings outside, and small courses of a stream where children were playing in the sunrays filtered through the manyfold trees and nature all around and inside the town. it was beautiful. we were strolling around the town, taking photos of the beautiful gothic cathedral sts pierre et paul, buying postcards for the family and drinking amer bière (with that ah très délicieux picon orange liqueur) at restaurant du saumon and in a small kiosque le boy bought me a french vogue. i was wearing a white H&M dress and a cardigan which i have bought in baden-baden some weeks ago. i never want to look like a typical tourist but good as always, if not also better. you should always present your best self. le boy thinks so as well and i'm very happy about that. wissembourg is solely less than an hour of travel time away from our home and already a whole new world you can indulge in. it was like a little vacation, to stay in this pretty place and to hear my most beloved language, french, again. me and my family lived in paris, france, when i was 2 years old, and this might be the reason why i'm so much in love with the country, the food, the beverages, the people and the language and why it feels like home, every time i stay somewhere where i can hear and taste a tiny little bit of french life.
