Sounds of the High Country: Motorhead's DilemmaJuly 29, 2014
For most people, going out for a hike first requires some amount of driving, which can feel like a Catch-22 for the conservation-minded. In the current issue of environmental magazine High Country News, Craig Childs explores the conflict in his story "Motorheads Gone Wild". On this edition of Sounds of the High Country, KDNK's collaboration with the magazine, KDNK's Eric Skalac talked to Childs about the dilemma of the ecological off-roader. You can read Craig Childs' "Motorheads Gone Wild" at hcn.org. Also find past editions of this podcast at KDNK.org or subscribe to the podcast on iTunes.
Tribal payday lendersJuly 7, 2014
It may not come as a surprise that many Native Americans living on mostly poor, remote reservations in the American West have come to rely heavily on payday loan companies offering cash at high interest rates when money is tight. Yet as Jonathan Thompson reveals in the current issue of High Country News, some tribes have also started getting into the payday lending business themselves, often by partnering with private companies and shielding them from state financial rules.
For this episode of Sounds of the High Country, KDNK's collaboration with the magazine, Nelson Harvey asked Thompson whether these tribes could be mortgaging their futures in exchange for quick cash.
The environmental cost of U.S-Mexico border enforcementJune 18, 2014
In its quest to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, the U.S. Border Patrol is running roughshod over huge swaths of desert wilderness with complete immunity from U.S. environmental laws. That's what Ray Ring, a senior editor for High Country News, discovered on a recent reporting trip to the border. For the latest edition of Sounds of the High Country, KDNK's collaboration with the magazine, Ring told Nelson Harvey about the tremendous environmental price we're paying at the border, and why it's tough to quantify what we're getting in return.
Diversity problem at our National ParksMay 26, 2014
From Yosemite to Glacier National Park to the Harriet Tubman National Monument in Maryland, the 400 parks that make up the U.S. National Park system are supposed to be the shared heritage of all Americans. Yet as Jodi Peterson reports in the current issue of High Country News, the vast majority of people who visit national parks or work in the system are white. For the latest edition of Sounds of the High Country, KDNK's collaboration with High Country News, Nelson Harvey spoke with Peterson about the National Park Service's diversity problem.
Horror stories about traveling the wild WestApril 17, 2014
Sometimes when you set off across the west in search of adventure, you find a bit more than you bargained for. The annual travel issue of High Country News is out this week, and to mark the occasion the magazine held a "Western Travel Horror Story" contest that prompted more than 50 readers to submit stories about trips in the west that went terribly—and hilariously—wrong.
For the latest edition of Sounds of the High Country, KDNK's collaboration with High Country News, KDNK's Nelson Harvey had three readers tell him their stories. He spoke to Will Toor about getting stripped of his dignity on a hitchhiking trip, to Sheyna Maytum about breaking down in the desert, and to Bruce Drogsvold about a tow truck driver who will live in infamy. Here are their stories.
Exporting the West's renewable energy commodityMarch 26, 2014
California's 38 million residents need energy, and since they don't want it from coal plants, communities in the West are trying to seize an opportunity to export their renewable energy California's way. In this episode of Sounds of the High Country, KDNK's Eric Skalac spoke to Judith Lewis Mernit who wrote about California's energy needs and the west's renewable energy network in the most recent High Country News. As Mernit writes, the situation might mean economic development for small towns with big renewable energy resources.
Unravelling the mystery of Fallon's cancer clusterMarch 10, 2014
In the early March issue of High Country News, contributing editor Sierra Crane Murdoch tells a sprawling tale of contamination, cancer and cover up as she tries to unravel the unsolved mystery of the Fallon, Nevada cancer cluster. For the latest edition of Sounds of the High Country, KDNK's Nelson Harvey spoke with Murdoch about what she found.
Buyout program in the Gila could help ranchers and environmentalistsFebruary 20, 2014
Out in the Gila National Forest, ranchers and environmentalists are working together to protect endangered wolves, while also protecting ranchers' livelihoods. In the current issue of the High Country News, writer April Reese investigates the surprising new strategy for endangered wildlife protection being tried in New Mexico.
For this episode of Sounds of the High Country, our collaboration with the High Country News, KDNK's Eric Skalac spoke to Reese about how two usually antagonistic groups are working on a solution that could make everyone happy.
Edible food forests appearing in the WestJanuary 23, 2014
The number of community gardens in the U.S. has been growing in recent years as more people take an interest in producing at least some of their own food. Yet in some western communities, a new and radical approach to communal agriculture is taking root: the edible forest garden.
In the current issue of the High Country News, the writer Kevin Taylor describes these patches of Edenic edibility that are cropping up on public land across the west. For the latest edition of Sounds of the High Country, KDNK's collaboration with the environmental magazine High Country News, KDNK's Nelson Harvey spoke with Taylor, and checked in with the backers of an edible forest garden right here in the Roaring Fork Valley.
The West's abandoned gas wellsJanuary 9, 2014
The booms and busts of the oil and gas industry have taken a toll on many communities in the West. In Wyoming, the coalbed methane bust in the last 10 years left about 1200 abandoned gas wells behind, sometimes right in the middle of once prosperous ranch land.
On this episode of Sounds of the High Country, KDNK's Eric Skalac talks to Wyoming Public Radio's Irina Zhorov about her article in the most recent issue of the High Country News on Wyoming's abandoned gas wells.

We are on day 2. We have had plenty of other good days, but then I would go back to diapers. I am done with diapers. Cold turkey. We can do this! Thanks for any advice!
How many days did it take you to day pottie train?
Comments (7)
Daycare basically trained ODS. He had 2 accidents in his first week, then never again. He was such an easy child.

9 days.
Day 3-Good
Day 4-Terrible (Back at Daycare after long weekend)
Day 5-Better
Day 6-Better
Day 7-Terrible Again (I want to give up, daycare lady tells me going back to diapers is the worst thing you can do, I suck it up but am not pleased)
Day 8-Better
Day 9-Trained.
Looking back 9 days wasn't bad (that was September). But at the time I thought it would take a year because it sucked. I realized I had become a helicopter Mom and she was stressed by me being all weird. Once I relaxed she caught on.
Too many... she does good with nanny all day then wants diaper with me, but it's getting better we started last week AGAIN..

Pee-training, about 2.5 -3 weeks. Lots of accidents the first 5 days, and lots of bad days in between. And he was at home with me every day during that time.
Poop training took longer, about 2+ months.
The whole process of potty training (especially poop training) was very stressful and challenging for us.
Night training, thank goodness, just happened on its own--he started waking up dry consistently and then I just stopped putting him in underpants at night.
Me (39), DH (40), married since May 2004
FTM to my precious and long-awaited DS, born on 7/1/2010, exactly one month early (allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame)
Fully trained meaning no accidents? About 2 months- she was 28 mo. But honestly by day 5 of the process she had caught on to how things were supposed to work and was trying to cooperate.
Day 1- 2 were full of accidents, not once success
Day 3 she had lots of pee successes but had refused to poop for three days (I refused to give in to a diaper so she just held it)
Day 4 she was figuring out poop but decided to test her limits on how long she could hold her pee (hours!!!!)
Day 5- 7 we had very few accidents and she no longer resisted pooping, but was still testing herself with the pee.
By 2 wks in she was pretty much day trained, an accident here and there but nothing terrible. The accidents continued sporadically for about 2 months until they kinda just phased out. That's when we took the night diapers too. It was mostly for my peace of mind anyway since she had been dry in the mornings most days before we even started training. Once we started training she was dry every morning, but I was just afraid she would hold it so long once day and then forget during the night and release. But it never happened.
We did have a recession period for about 2 weeks after she had been fully trained, no accidents ever for more than 2 months. It was shocking and upsetting so I think our bad reaction the first time caused her to continue just to get attention. But that too passed.

~Elise Althea 5/10/2012 ( . Y . ) Silver with Gold!
Thank you soooo much for the feedback! My two older kids were so easy. This guy not. We are on day 3 and a few accidents here or there but in general he finally is doing it. I am done with diapers. Figured its way too confusing to go back to a diaper. This could be a long few weeks! But so far so good! Made it to the store today and school w/o accident and went in the pottie in the car! Wooo hooo.

At Bikram Yoga Hudson, sweating is a shower for the body, mind, and soul. In their new location, a 105-degree room summons beads of perspiration to oust pent-up toxins and stress during the studio's 90-minute classes. The heat eases student's muscles into deep, relaxing stretches as they practice 26 hatha poses and controlled breathing techniques. In addition to boosting strength, flexibility, and concentration, these exercises propel fresh oxygen through the body to promote wellness and fill deflated water wings. Certified instructors shepherd students of all levels through the workout, reminding them to hydrate frequently and pose at their own pace, and afterwards students can wash off the sweat in one of the studio's showers.

Hydrodynamic escape
Hydrodynamic escape refers to a thermal atmospheric escape mechanism that can lead to the escape of heavier atoms of a planetary atmosphere through numerous collisions with lighter atoms.
The classical thermal escape mechanism is when individual molecules from the high velocity tail of the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution reaches the escape velocity and overcome the gravity field. This is known as Jeans escape and depend on the temperature of the planet's exosphere and the strength of its gravity field. It can be shown that for cold giant gas planets such as Jupiter and Saturn there is no thermal driven atmospheric escape of significance while for smaller and warmer planets such as Earth only light atoms may escape in this manner (heavier atoms stay).[1]
Hydrodynamic escape occurs if there is a strong thermal driven atmospheric escape of light atoms which through drag effects (collisions) also drive off heavier atoms—a bulk flow type of escape of the upper atmosphere, a so-called "blowoff".[2] The heaviest species of atoms that can be removed in this manner is called the cross-over mass.
It requires a large source of energy at a certain altitude to maintain a significant hydrodynamic escape. Solar radiation is seldom enough for known present day atmospheres in the Solar System. It is speculated that early atmospheres of Earth, Venus and Mars have experienced periods of significant hydrodynamic escape due to the heat input from planetary accretion processes.[3] For comparison, Pluto may have lost 0.5% of its total mass over the age of the Solar System due to hydrodynamic escape.[4]
Exoplanets that are extremely close to their star, such as hot Jupiters can experience significant hydrodynamic escape[5][6] to the point that they cease to be gas giants and are left with just the core, at which point they would be called Chthonian planets.

In late July, you will almost always find this dish on the menu at Atlas. Henry Bohlen's amazingly delicious elk plus Marvin Hotz's super sweet corn is a perfect pairing.
- 4 elk tenderloins (6 ounces each)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Canola oil
- 4 sprigs of thyme
- 2 ounces extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup lime juice (approx. juice of 2 limes)
- 1 and 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup 1/4 inch diced thick cut bacon
- 1 cup 1/4 inch diced poblano pepper (approx. 2 peppers)
- 1 cup 1/4 inch diced red onion
- 1 cup 1/4 inch diced red bell pepper (approx. 1 large pepper)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 3 cups sweet corn (approx. 4 ears)
- 3 cups precooked black eyed peas (dry or frozen blanched in chicken stock until tender)
- 2 Tbsp chimmichurri
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter cut into small cubes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pickled red onions
- 1 cup red wine (I like to use zinfandel)
- 1 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups water
- 1 red onion 1/8 inch julienne
- Sweet corn shoots
- Avocado
For the pickled red onions: Bring wine, vinegar, sugar and water to a boil. Pour over the julienne red onions and allow the pickle to sit at room temperature for one hour. Then refrigerate covered overnight. The pickle is ready to use after 24 hours.
For the Elk: Generously salt and pepper the elk tenderloin on all sides. Heat a film of canola oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the elk and brown on all sides, for about 3 minutes total. Depending on the size pan you have you may have to work in batches. The tenderloins should not touch and should have about a ½ inch of space between them as they cook.
To cook in the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degress. Baste the Elk with the extra virgin olive oil and place a sprig of thyme on top of each potion. Place the sauté pan with the seared elk tenderloins in the oven. Or place in an oven safe pan if your sauté pan isn't oven safe. Cook until an instant read thermometer reads 128 degrees in the middle of the thickest portion of the elk. Rest the elk on a wire rack for 10 minutes. The elk will carryover cooking to 134 degrees as it rests on a wire rack
For the chimmichurri: Combine all the ingredients except the extra virgin olive oil in a medium sized bowl with a wire whisk. Slowly add the extra virgin olive oil in a steady stream while whisking. Season the chimmichurri with the salt and pepper.
For the succotash: Render the bacon until crisp over medium heat in a large sauce pan. Pour off and discard all but 2 tablespoons of the rendered bacon fat. Then add the poblano peppers, red bell peppers, onions, and garlic to the bacon. Cook until the garlic begins to caramelize. Then add the sweet corn and black eyed peas. Cook for 2 minutes occasionally stirring with a wooden spoon. Add the chimmichurri and the cubed unsalted butter. The butter and the starch from the black-eyed peas and sweet corn will make a light sauce for succotash. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
To Serve: Place the hot succotash in the middle of plate in a 2 inch by 4 inch rectangle. Remove from the vacuum sealed bag and slice the elk into ¼ inch slices, or just slice the rested elk out of the oven, and place them fanned and resting on the succotash. Stir the chimmichurri and spoon over the elk and draw a stripe as if you were underlining the elk. Garnish the dish with pickled red onion, avocado slices, and sweet corn shoots on top of the succotash.

GTX 580 dual screen weird issue, HELP!
Hi all,
I have just noticed something strange with my new setup and searching the net has not turned up any info that i would consider useful, just the usual fool going on about something they no little about, hence why I am posting here hoping someone can shed some light on this for me.
Anyways to cut a long story short my ASUS GTX 580 stock speed idles at around 58 degrees C. But when I switch back to one screen the temps drop back to around 41 - 45 degrees. Why is this happening? I have a Cosmos S case with 4 x 120mm exhaust fans 1 x120m front intake and a hugh side 200mm intake fan so it suprises me that I am getting temps this high and why with two monitors? 1 LCD is 22" @ 1680x1050 the other is a 24" @ 1920x1080. Is 58c too high? or something i should worry about. Again, searching on the net some people say 'yep its fine' others say 'hell no thats not good'. I know people here on nvnews know what they are on about so I would love to know for sure 'its ok'. but why with two screens would the temps be higher? very weird!

Tafline Laylin
After receiving her B.A. from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Tafline led "eco-friendly" camping trips throughout North America. It soon dawned on her that she was instead leaving behind a trail of gas fumes, plastic bottles and Pringles. In fact, wherever she traveled – whether it was Viet Nam or South Africa or England – it became clear how inefficiently the mandate to re-think our consumer culture is reaching the general public.
So she has picked up her mighty pen to bring better exposure to environmental issues. Tafline was born in Iran and raised in the United States, and is currently based in South Africa. She also blogs for www.greenprophet.com and her work has appeared in Africa Geographic, The Ecologist, Urban Green File, and other publications.

The Least Interesting Celebrated 2012 Films
The least interesting celebrated 2012 films are all good movies, but they all fall short of the hype they received from critics and fans alike. These are the most overrated movies of 2012, the most anticipated movies of 2012 and some of the best movies of 2012, however they are also some of the movies who let us down during the year.
An argument could be made that these least interesting yet critically acclaimed movies all did what they were created to do, make money. "The Avengers," "The Dark Knight Rises," "The Hunger Games, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2" and "Skyfall" topped the box office tallies, each earning over a quarter of a billion dollars, but were they really the most exciting movies of the year? Nope.
What these movies did do was cause a lot of buzz then underwhelm rather than deliver. Looper had a great story but it might also put you to sleep in the middle. Bachelorette got a lot of buzz but showed up light on the laughs. Cloud Atlas was touted as a masterpiece, not a confusing way to spend a couple hours. All of these movies were good but far from as great as you'd expect.
Sure these were some of the best horror movies of 2012and the best action movies of 2012, but an equal argument could be made that they're also candidates for the worst movies of 2012 as well.

Military Personnel:
Observations Related to Reserve Compensation, Selective Reenlistment Bonuses, and Mail Delivery to Deployed Troops
GAO-04-582T: Published: Mar 24, 2004. Publicly Released: Mar 24, 2004.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-4800
Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the U.S. military has deployed high numbers of active duty and reserve troops to fight the global war on terrorism and for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Ensuring that U.S. military forces are adequately compensated and that the morale of deployed troops remains high have been priorities for the Congress and the Department of Defense (DOD). In response to congressional mandates, GAO has reviewed a number of issues concerning military personnel. For this hearing, GAO was asked to provide the results of its work on military compensation for National Guard and Reserve personnel and on the Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) program, a tool DOD can use to enhance retention of military personnel in critical occupational specialties. In addition, GAO was asked to provide its preliminary views, based on ongoing work, concerning mail delivery to troops stationed in the Middle East.
Reservists who are called to active duty to support a contingency operation are eligible to receive the same pay and benefits as members of the active component. Moreover, in constant dollars, basic military compensation has increased in recent years. For instance, an enlisted reservist in pay grade E-4 who is married with no other dependents and who is called to active duty experienced a 19 percent increase in basic military compensation between fiscal years 1999 and 2003. Despite these increases, income loss is a concern to many reservists, although DOD has lacked timely, sufficient information to assess the full scope and nature of this problem. Benefits for reserve personnel have also improved, notably in the area of health care. As GAO has previously reported, given the federal government's growing deficits, it is critical that the Congress give adequate consideration to the longer term costs and implications of legislative proposals to further enhance military pay and benefits before they are enacted into law. For example, proposals to enhance reserve retirement should be considered in this context. Although GAO has not specifically reviewed the use of SRBs to enhance reserve retention, GAO has noted shortcomings in DOD's management and oversight of the SRB program for active duty personnel. GAO's observations of this program may be helpful in making decisions for the use of SRBs for reservists. Concerned about missing their overall retention goals in the late 1990s, all the services expanded their use of SRBs to help retain more active duty enlisted personnel in a broader range of military specialties, even though the program was intended to help the services meet retention problems in selected critical specialties. As a result, the cost of the program more than doubled in just 5 years--from $308 million in fiscal year 1997 to $791 million in fiscal year 2002. However, the effectiveness and efficiency of SRBs in targeting bonuses to improve retention in selected critical occupations is unknown. DOD has not conducted a rigorous review of the SRB program. DOD concurred with GAO's recommendations to institute more effective controls to assess the progress of the SRB program, but has not taken action as yet. Mail can be a morale booster for troops fighting overseas and for their families at home. GAO has been reviewing mail delivery to deployed troops and expects to issue a report soon. GAO's preliminary findings show that mail delivery continues to be hampered by many of the same problems encountered during the first Gulf War. First, DOD does not have a reliable accurate system in place to measure timeliness. Second, despite differences in operational theaters and efforts by DOD postal planners to incorporate lessons learned into planning for Operation Iraqi Freedom, postal operations faced many of the same problems, such as inadequate postal facilities, equipment, and transportation. Third, DOD has not officially tasked any entity to resolve the long-standing postal problems experienced during contingency operations. GAO plans to make several recommendations to improve DOD's mail delivery to deployed troops.

Presidential Punch
There's a good chance that at some point this Fourth of July, you'll be reminded of our colonial forebears and the challenges that they faced while fighting for our independence. If your thoughts should turn to George Washington, we expect you'll picture the first president in a politician's pose or perhaps dressed in his ceremonial military attire. You'll likely reflect on his ability to lead and inspire the revolutionary army, or perhaps on his steady, pragmatic leadership of the United States' fledgling democracy. While you likely wouldn't picture him staggering about the local tavern, extolling the virtues of rum à la Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean, that was very much a part of who the first U.S. president was. Sort of.
It was once believed that the West Indies' climate and indigenous spices held restorative powers, so Washington accompanied his half brother, who was sick with tuberculosis, to the island of Barbados in 1751. The trip proved unsuccessful—the brother later died of the disease—but Washington's six-week sojourn on the island introduced him to Barbadian rum, a spirit that the future first president immediately took a liking to. According to Scott Fitzgerald, Mount Gay's brand ambassador, Washington requested that six barrels of the spirit be served at his inauguration. "When he returned to the United States he developed his political and revolutionary career," says Fitzgerald, "but what is really cool is that during this time, he was still surrounded by the rum that he drank during his earlier years."
The cocktail served at Washington's inauguration was the Fish House Punch (click here for a recipe), which the president discovered at the Schuylkill Fish House in Philadelphia years before. Just what was the rum of Washington's era like, you ask? The answer might be found in that inauguration punch. "It's difficult to say without actually tasting it," Fitzgerald says, "but the reason a lot of these punches came about was to help cover the taste of unlikable or undrinkable liquor. It definitely would have been a rawer, rougher product."
The nature of Washington's rum may remain a mystery, but it's safe to say that if he loved the coarse spirit then, he would fawn over Mount Gay's latest distillation—Black Barrel. "What makes it distinct is that we use a higher proportion of the copper-pot distillates, which gives increased aromatics without sacrificing balance and smooth flavor," Fitzgerald says. "We start with white American oak barrels but we finish it in deeply charred bourbon casks, and that imparts really rich, oaky flavor and beautiful spice notes with a long, lingering finish."

Sony Honami FCC filing tips September announcement
The Sony Honami leaks seems to be rolling in nice and steady at this point in time. We have seen a few recent leaks that included images, details of the camera and even some covering other specs of the handset. And well, it is looking like the handset has just recently been discovered in an FCC filing. The filing has the handset dubbed as the PY7PM-0450, which the PM-0450 portion has previously been associated with the Honami.

Dusan Lojda
I first saw him hitting with Frantisek Cermak this year, during an 'extreme heat' delay. I didn't think he looked spectacular but he was hitting okay, given the ridiculous temperature (Frantisek had a waterfall of sweat pouring off him...). Dusan struck me as a cool, trendy looking guy. Actually I was enjoying the view until I realised he was rather young :rolleyes:
And now...Dusan has gone and won the Boys singles at the US Open.

Quotes and information are provided courtesy of the Indianapolis Colts Public Relations Department. Following up an Emotional Win During their bye week, coming off a last second loss to the Jaguars, Colts players first learned of Coach Chuck Pagano's leukemia diagnosis. Their world turned on end; they had to go right back to work. Many fans expected the worst in a week 5 matchup with Green Bay. The team went down 21-3 before storming back in the second half for an emotional 30-27 victory. They did it for their coach, their fans, their families, and each other. They were ChuckStrong. The next game, however, things fell apart. Emotionally drained, Indianapolis fell 35-9 to the New York Jets. One of the many tests the Colts face this week is to prevent such a letdown from happening again, as they look to follow up another close, em...

I just wanted to get back to you folks and tell you how pleased I was with the service (and respect) I recieved from the Customer Service Agent who took and placed my order. It is now the riding season and Engineer style MC's are becoming more and more difficult to come by. Your Customer Service Agent was patient and kind to me. She researched the actual boot itself and compaired it to another very similar model. She then researched warehouse inventory and availability, as well as investigating how the sizes worked for that particular boot manufacturer. The information she provided me helped me to make - what I now consider - to be a very sound size decision. Great job!!!!!!! I look forward to getting my new boots."

Welcome to TheBicycleHobo
Welcome To....The Bicycle Hobo:Where Functionality and Frugal Fashion Come Together At Last!You have arrived at a unique line of bike & home accessories not found anywhere else on the World Wide Web. You will experience for yourselves, though my PDF patterns and limited handmade accessories, how the humble, ever hardworking when available, hobo was able to lightly transport all the comforts of home while looking for work during of the most grim periods of recent human history-The Great Depression Of The 1930s. These rather loosely reproduced, then updated to the 21st century, products are based on the reflections of an actual real hobo-"Hobo Mike"(1918-2005)-who journeyed on freight trains through the United States from 1934-1940. His stories and guidance are the stuff from which I drew original inspiration and formed the foundation of my business. Without him, I would not be able to set myself apart from everyone else in the world. Because-Hobo Mike-was my father. More »

R100GS Solo Seat Conversion Questions

Now, I could assume that that would fit on my bike but we all know about assumptions and Bob's is good but this may not be something the parts counter could answer with confidence.
Also. I see that Corbin has a solo seat available. Any other options other than stock? Best option? Anybody selling their conversion?
Anybody with tips, trick and install know-how and what-nots is appreciated.
I've got the Corbin dual gunfighter, the Corbin single, and the stock single seat on my '91 GS. To be honest, the dual seat I find the most comfortable,,,,,the single Corbin locks you in one place, whereas the dual seat allows you to slide around front n back. If you are looking for extra luggage capacity or a 'neater/ look, this is the way to go. The stock single seat is a torture rack.
BTW, transfering over from dual seat to single seat is about a 20 minute affair.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Matthew Chapman, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 06 March 2012 05:00PM
Non-food performed badly during snow-hit February despite continuing promotions and discounts, contributing to UK retail sales dipping 0.3% on a like-for-like basis from February 2011, according to the report.
Total sales, which take into account expanded store space and new store openings, rose 2.3% against a 1.1% increase in February 2011.
Stephen Robertson, director general of the BRC, said: "The reality of weak sales shows that a convincing revival remains illusory.
"Unemployment is expected to rise further causing increased nervousness about job security, which is keeping confidence fragile.
"Total sales growth is still below inflation, so overall customers are actually buying less than a year ago, while discounts are eating into margins."
Robertson's comments come the day before (6 March) John Lewis announces its results, with analysts predicting its profits could take another big hit due to it having to match heavy discounting of rivals as part of its 'Never Knowingly Undersold' pledge.
Food sales picked up last month, which the report attributes to people stocking up in the very cold weather.
Citigate Dewe Rogerson forecasts grocer Morrisons will report a 6% year-on-year rise in profit-before-tax to £921m when it announces its results on Thursday, in line with consensus.
Morrisons is expected to indicate heavy investment in its stores and staff in order to combat the investment currently being made by Tesco, while it is a forecast a proportion of its investment budget will be directed at lowering prices further.
Helen Dickinson, head of retail at KPMG, said: "There are retailers out there who deliver what the customer wants and needs – in terms of product, brand and price – which proves that if the proposition is spot on it is still possible to outperform the market and the competition."
In terms of non-food, clothing, footwear and homewares were hit particularly hard in February, with home accessories showing their largest year-on-year fall since May 2008.

Hakkinen comments on Bottas rumors, backs Hamilton over team orders
Aug 2, 2014, 7:30 AM EDT
Two-time Formula 1 world champion Mika Hakkinen is not surprised by speculation linking protegé Valtteri Bottas away from Williams for 2015.
The Finn has been the breakout driver of the season so far, scoring three podium finishes and the majority of Williams' points. After a difficult 2013 campaign with a troublesome car, Bottas has now flourished and met the expectations that many had for him.
Naturally, this has led to speculation about his future, with British newspaper The Guardian linking the Finn with a move to McLaren for 2015. For Hakkinen, this comes as little surprise.
"This is quite natural," the Finn wrote in his column for Hermes. "Valtteri is still a young driver who has been in Formula 1 for only a short time.
"Valtteri is interesting not only because of his speed; he can motivate the others in the team and manages to create an atmosphere, as it is necessary for success.
"There is interest and that is good. What happens in the future remains to be seen."
Hakkinen also gave his support to Lewis Hamilton following the Briton's decision to ignore team orders during the Hungarian Grand Prix. Hamilton was given the call to let teammate Nico Rosberg past as they were on different strategies, but did not allow him to do so. He eventually finished the race ahead of Rosberg, cutting the German's championship lead to eleven points.
"Nico had the greater pace and softer tires, so the team thought Lewis should let Nico past for the best result," Hakkinen wrote. "Lewis, of course, looked and noticed that Nico was not close enough in the rear-view mirror.
"He probably worked out that it made no sense to let Nico past because he would lose two seconds and a place on the podium. In my opinion, Lewis was right."
- techmeister1 - Aug 2, 2014 at 11:18 AM
Hamilton has always been a disrespectful, scumbag and non team player. That's why Alonso left McLaren when Hammy constantly violated the pit stop strategies for qualifying and screwed Alonso over.
Hammy has a mentality that he's better than other people and that the world has persecuted him. The true reality is that he's had the world by the ass since the age of 12 when he signed a contract with McLaren. He's so in denial that it's actually sad to listen to his dribble to the media. His own words show what a dirtbag of a person he really is.
Driving his own teammate off the track in Hungary is a perfect example of Hammy's mentality. Come the end of the year he'll wreck Rosberg before allowing him to win the championship.
- mcseforsale - Aug 2, 2014 at 9:00 PM
Hamilton was right. The call was one of inexperience. Merced hadn't been in a position like that yet and the call was bad. Even Lauda knew it. As for Bottas, he's really good.
- ducati007 - Aug 2, 2014 at 9:17 PM
okay…so what's the gig… do you listen to the bosses and let ur teammate pass or not. SOMEONE SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS…NO ONE LISTENS TO THE BOSSES SO WHAT'S THEIR POINT..DO U PASS OR NOT…
- mcseforsale - Aug 3, 2014 at 12:17 PM
The bosses are the drivers now. Unless you're driving a Ferrari, the drivers bring all the money now. It's a sad, sad reality. How else would you explain PM on Lotus? In any other series, he would have been tossed already.

Vice Ganda is top Pinoy influencer on TwitterBy Gerry Plaza | omg! Philippines News Blog – Tue, Dec 31, 2013 12:52 PM PHTVice Ganda soars anew this yearend, not only because his Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy has raked in over P200 million in the box office in just five days. The feat mimics the success of Vice's previous MMFF film, Sisterakas, which earned over P340 million, making it the highest- grossing Filipino film of all time.If Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy surpasses Sisterakas, it means moviegoers have spent nearly a billion pesos watching Vice Ganda's films—a phenomenal roll starting from The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin in 2011 that yielded about P331 million.This proves Vice's incredible talent, immense popularity and all-encompassing influence in what he says, what he projects on TV, how he brings his golden touch on the silver screen, and recently, his stature as the 2013 top Filipino influencer on the microblogging site Twitter.After three straight years of bagging the Yahoo!

What lies ahead for vet and indie directors?By Niña Sandejas | omg! Philippines News Blog – Tue, Dec 31, 2013 11:34 AM PHT
Call it the biggest gathering of Filipino film directors in recent history.
Cannes winners Brillante Mendoza and Raymond Red with the prolific master filmmaking team of Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes. Veteran filmmakers Maryo J. De Los Reyes, Tony Reyes, Jose Carreon, Augusto Salvador, Kaka Balagtas and Mark Meily hanging with independent directors represented by Jim Libiran, Roni Bertubin, Jay Altarejos and Buboy Tan.
The event that got them together? The Directors' Guild of the Philippines' Directors' Night held December 8, 2013 at the Sequoia Hotel in Quezon City.
Redefining the guild
Founded in 1992, the DGPI aims to function as a catalyst and guardian of the integrity of filmmaking and protector the professional welfare of its members while addressing the needs of the Filipino audience.
Being that it is a dynamic and progressive organization, it seeks to consistently redefine itself to the changing demands of the times not only in the country but also in the context of global cinema.Read More »from What lies ahead for vet and indie directors?
My most memorable music photos of 2013By Niña Sandejas | omg! Philippines News Blog – Wed, Dec 25, 2013 3:59 PM PHT
My journey in 2013 as a music photographer is summarized in the 15 photographs below. Although some of the photos may not necessarily come from the best gigs, I take the best of whatever it is I've been to. These photos are especially memorable to me because they evoked feelings of nostalgia and in some cases, became a catalyst for change in the scene.
I saw an artist I waited decades to see, encountered one who plays on the soundtrack of almost everyone's favorite TV show, enjoyed the music of a star embroiled in a controversy or emphasized Filipino-American ties. There were pictures to capture the end of something great, a semi-reunion of sorts, daring public stunts and the fun and danger of a few gigs.
Many moments big and small will always be part of live music, whether it's pop, rock, hip hop and electronic music. These happen to be some of mine in 2013.

17 local fotogs share their fave music moments in 2013By Niña Sandejas | omg! Philippines News Blog – Sun, Dec 22, 2013 11:59 AM PHT
Seventeen photographers and music lovers choose their favorite music moments in the Philippines in 2013 and tell us why.
1. Alicia Keys by Kris Rocha. (See lead photo above). "This photo is more than a decade in the making. To shoot and meet Alicia Keys was one of my biggest dreams as a photographer and as a fan. I became a concert photographer because of her. I am a huge Alica Keys fan since 'Fallin'' days in 2001 and her first Manila visit in 2004 was the first concert I've ever attended. I took few shots but they were all dark and grainy. My dream to meet and document Alicia Keys became my biggest goal and inspiration. And finally, the moment I've been waiting finally came last November 25, 2013!"
2. Dougy Mandagi of Temper Trap by Cecilia Forbes. "It was my first time shooting a music festival (Wanderland 2013) and since the Temper Trap was headlining, this photo was shot towards the end of the day. I was so drained from shooting but somehow regained energy from the enthusiasticRead More »from 17 local fotogs share their fave music moments in 2013
Lomi in heaven: blaming PapaDom for my rock & roll lifeBy Francis Brew | omg! Philippines News Blog – Fri, Dec 20, 2013 7:53 AM PHT
You are a high school junior, early eighties. It is around 7 p.m. on a weekday. The De La Salle Lipa campus is lit sparingly, the corridors eerily quiet. From the small conference room emanates rippling arpeggios played by the choirmaster on an upright piano riddled with a few out-of-tune keys.
The rock & roll bug found you (or the other way round) and you join the glee club as one of the bass voices just to be able to get a taste of playing music, any music. You will soon rehearse with maybe 20 other people for an upcoming competition. You practice your assigned harmonies as you open the back door…
And there it is: a black electric guitar you only see in pictures—a "Gibson Les Paul" guarding a tiny Fender Champ amplifier. You want to grab it, turn it up, even if you have no idea how to… but a tall senior spots the goodies and attempts the solo to "A Horse with No Name."
The moment I wanted to be in a rock band
The senior then hands you what is equivalent to Excalibur but you resist andRead More »from Lomi in heaven: blaming PapaDom for my rock & roll life
Kaya: an Indo-Pinoy fusion of island music and jazzBy Niña Sandejas | omg! Philippines News Blog – Tue, Dec 10, 2013 10:31 AM PHT
I've always been curious about artists that come here from all over the region. Most of them tell me that the Philippines is one of the places that they'd want their music heard.
So when Ferry Febriansyah, a singer and songwriter from Indonesia, came here to fulfill his dream of playing in the Philippines, he put together a group of top-notch Filipino musicians to be his bandmates. It was a collaboration of two cultures and different tastes that one needed to see come alive.
They called themselves Kaya.
Dream team
Ferry Febriansiah has had experience of success in his homeland. He's been part of a jazz-blues group called Bluey who performed at the Java Jazz Festival in 2008. He also formed a pop group, art2tonic, combining digital and acoustic music and selling 150,000 copies in 2005.
He said of playing in Manila: "I have always dreamed of bringing my music and playing outside of Indonesia. I know the Philippines is one with the best musically talented people here in Asia, and it wouldRead More »from Kaya: an Indo-Pinoy fusion of island music and jazz
'We want to be around forever,' says Tegan and Sara
Once indie darlings, Tegan and Sara are now bonafide pop starsBy Niña Sandejas | omg! Philippines News Blog – Sun, Dec 8, 2013 5:56 PM PHT
There I was, in a coffee shop in Makati, about to interview twins Tegan and Sara, who were here recently for a concert.
I've read a lot about them and know for a fact that they've been asked about being twins or siblings and working together so much that you wonder if they can muster up answering another question about it.
Tegan and Sara Quinn are an indie act from Canada, formed in 1995. Their songs have been covered by The White Stripes and they've collaborated with DJs Tiesto and David Guetta to bridge the pop, dance and indie worlds.
'Almost-perfect single'
They've sold close to a million records and their song "Closer," from their seventh album "Heartthrob," has been called "the almost-perfect single" by Spin Magazine.
When they sat to talk to me, I was struck by how alike they were, style-wise—both petite, with short hair and wearing all-black clothes—that I could only imagine how it would magnify their power on stage.
Before we began the interview, I took a mental note of who was whoRead More »from 'We want to be around forever,' says Tegan and Sara
2013 Elements Songwriting Camp: The business of music makingBy Francis Brew | omg! Philippines News Blog – Sun, Dec 8, 2013 12:09 PM PHT
Read Part I here: Welcome to the camp
At the Elements Singing/Songwriting Camp held in Dumaguete recently, mentor Annabelle Regalado Borja elaborated on music publishing and musicians' rights and what managers look for in an artist.
Christina Luna emphasized the importance of social media.
And Noel Cabangon talked about FILSCAP. Cabangon was also a part of the lyric writing panel with Contreras, Gloc-9, and Quest.
Audie Gemora gave performance tips and also managerial concerns, warning everybody to be wary of anybody who has a "casting couch."
The amazing maze
The Racing Maze was probably the most involved module: 10 stations spread out over the resort, each with a physical, mental, and musical challenge.
The goal was to earn a card with a written musical note per station, and at the end, the 10 notes together would reveal a song. Each group would need to name the song and composer (it was "Rainbow" by Jay Durias).
The activity had most of the campers and some mentors in fits of panic.Read More »from 2013 Elements Songwriting Camp: The business of music making
Welcome to the camp: songwriters descend on DumagueteBy Francis Brew | omg! Philippines News Blog – Sun, Dec 8, 2013 11:05 AM PHT
Read Part II here: Elements Songwriting Camp: The business of music making
The energy began on the morning we flew to Dumaguete.
By the end of the day, it exploded near the sea in a melange of rhythms and melodies spontaneously produced by at least 60 young musicians injecting a hint of their personalities in the jam.
The results could have been cacophonic but it was surprisingly focused, the call-and-responses bouncing back and forth like a good tennis match.
The individual personalities will come to the fore in the next three days, but for now, 60 throats and 240 limbs became one voice, one body.
In its fourth year
And the 2013 Elements Singing/Songwriting Camp hadn't even begun yet.
It's the fourth year of the camp produced by 7101 Music Nation led by Tao Corporation CEO Julio "Jun" Sy, Radio Republic's Twinky Lagdameo, and creative director Maestro Ryan Cayabyab.
The idea seems simple enough: look for the best 60 young singer/songwriters and put them together in educational andRead More »from Welcome to the camp: songwriters descend on Dumaguete
Anne Curtis faces crisis with slapping incident in clubBy Gerry Plaza | omg! Philippines News Blog – Mon, Dec 2, 2013 8:16 AM PHT
She might be facing her worst crisis in her otherwise immensely successful showbiz career.Read More »from Anne Curtis faces crisis with slapping incident in club
A terrible public relations disaster that could potentially affect her phenomenal career, if not possibly end it.
But, Anne Curtis seemed unfazed in responding to a report on the Philippine Entertainment Portal that shocked everyone who knew her, even this blogger. Yet you could feel the remorse in her apology. And, in my view, it was brave of Anne to address the issue on Twitter, to her nearly six million followers, instead of keeping quiet and making matters worse by letting people speculate.
Anne goes ballistic
That incident at Privé Luxury Club in the early morning of Saturday, November 23 is now the talk of the town, understandably because the people involved in the incident are A-list artistas and prominent personalities.
While slapping is a common device used in movies, used to humiliate characters in dramatic fashion, delivering a whack to the face in a public place is definitely uncommon,

Korax mod: Scattered Evil beta 1Aug 23, 2013 Demo 1 comment
Takes Korax mod to another level, it keeps the RPG's features of previous game and adds a unique world, a world map, interact with NPC's, a journal, a...
Korax Mod is The first playable result of our development of the Korax engine. This is a gameplay modification that allows you to play the original Hexen levels in Direct 3D / OpenGL with some new RPG features, making for a much more differentiated gameplay according to which class you play. With the fighter, you'll laugh in the beginning as it'll be very easy, and will sweat (and die) in the end. With the mage, you'll have an extremely tough start and a child's play towards the end.
Korax Mod is based on the famous jHexen port by SkyJake, providing some outstanding lightning effects and flares.
This gameplay mode has a lot of cool features, like a spell casting system for every class, depending on the player class that you select you will be able to cast some spells, as the mage you will be able to cast up to 7 different spells acquired by raising your experience level, as the cleric you will be able to cast up to 4 different spells, and the fighter has the berserker to use.
Each class has different attributes and different restrictions to use armor and some artifacts, giving more challenge for the game, also some of the monsters health points have been raised to make a decent match for all of this.
After finishing the different HUBs of the game you have the option to get to a shop where you will be able to buy different artifacts with the gold you get by killing enemies.
Korax mod has moved from Doomsday engine to Vovoom as of 2010.
This project is opensource so you can contribute.
Discussions & general feedback will go zdoom forums for now. Just until Korax Heritage/Vovoom forums start allowing people to register again.

KMod ownz Doom 3!!! :D:D
If I'm not mistaken, KMOD3 is not exactly supported by our team yet, it was released as a beta for the main reason of having many improvements (on the RPG gameplay side) over the KMOD2x series (5 attributes instead of 3, journal, spellbook, and a CONVERSATION system incorporated) that all need testing, but can already be taken by someone interested and used for their own Hexen's MODs. Those features, or tools, have great potential.
And yeah I play at 320x240 on my laptop now because that's a consistant 35fps. :D
Yes, Kmod3 (also i likd how it's not much of a file mess compared to earlier versions)
