UPDATE: Orioles agree to contract with Korean reliever Tae-Hyon Chong
Nov 21, 2011, 9:30 PM EDT
UPDATE: According to Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com, the Orioles and Tae-Hyon Chong have agreed to a contract. Details to come.
6:20 PM: The Orioles are believed to be close to signing 33-year-old right-hander Tae-Hyon Chong, who would be the first player to jump directly from the Korean League to the majors.
MyKBO.net believes it will be a two-year, $3.2 million deal, and MASN's Roch Kubatko confirms that a deal is approaching.
According to a Korean site linked to by MyKBO, Chong, a submariner, tops out at 85 mph with his sinking fastball and throws a curve. He had a 1.48 ERA, 16 saves and a 39/25 K/BB ratio in 54 2/3 innings for the SK Wyverns last year. He pitched for South Korea in the 2008 Olympics and had a 2.25 ERA and seven strikeouts in four innings as the gold medal-winning team's closer.

YESSSS. We are on our way
- fellspointbird - Nov 21, 2011 at 8:57 PM
Duquette meant "literally, and now" when he said the O's were going to tap into the Asian market.
- yankeesgameday - Nov 21, 2011 at 9:44 PM
He's a submariner?
That is a major step below even Aqua Man in the pantheon of lame super heroes. Craig is going to be very upset he didn't get to write this story.
- Jonny 5 - Nov 21, 2011 at 9:44 PM
This looks like a fail to me. Submariner who relies on his sinking fastball? Tops out at 85? Secondary pitch a curve? He's bound to walk a ton of MLB players imo. A buttload ton of walks.
- pipkin42 - Nov 21, 2011 at 11:39 PM
To be fair, Chad Bradford was a sinker-reliant submariner who didn't even throw that hard. But yeah, your point is pretty good.
- Jonny 5 - Nov 22, 2011 at 8:25 AM
Yeah, judging by his K/BB ratio in Korean baseball, I'd say he's in for a ride in the MLB.
- Walk - Nov 22, 2011 at 1:44 AM
33 is a bit old for a rookie. Say what major league team is baltimore affiliated with these days anyways?
(psst just kidding)
- dowhatifeellike - Nov 22, 2011 at 2:01 AM
I don't think anyone has any idea about success in the S. Korea translating to the MLB. The sample size is too small.
Even if this guy isn't that good, the Orioles desperately need a durable long-reliever for games that are already lost. Gotta save the few good arms they have.
- baseballisboring - Nov 22, 2011 at 5:05 AM
The 39/25 K/BB ratio isn't that encouraging.
- bleedpurplenblack - Nov 22, 2011 at 7:29 AM
Didn't Duquette say signing ML FAs was a risk, and he wasn't going to do it?
So instead, we hit the Korean FA Market and sign a 33 year old reliever.
What a dolt.
- areyesrn - Nov 22, 2011 at 8:20 AM
when a team signs black players, does hardballtalk write headlines with, "THE YANKEES AGREE TO TERMS WITH BLACK RELIEVER"
- drmonkeyarmy - Nov 22, 2011 at 8:41 AM
Really? For fucks sake man, gain some perspective. The term "black" in your contextual context is meant to denote race. The term "Korean" is used to define nationality. If an Italian, German, or French player would have signed, I'm sure those descriptors would have been used. Shocking the things people try to turn into a race issue.
- foreverchipper10 - Nov 22, 2011 at 12:14 PM
Also this notes that he is the first player to come straight from the KOREAN league to MLB.
- Charles Gates - Nov 22, 2011 at 12:03 PM
The price is right at $1.6MM AAV. This works for me.
- agerikson - Nov 22, 2011 at 3:28 PM
Suburban Baltimore has a huge Korean community so I wonder if this also serves as a pull for that market to come to the ballpark or watch the games on MASN.

Memphis City Council approves Collins 11-0 for MLGW president
Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton's nomination of Jerry Collins to be president of MLGW won the approval of the City Council tonight on a vote of 11-0.
Collins, a veteran city administrator, had been serving as interim chief utility officer at Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division since June.
Herenton wanted to make Collins the public utility's permanent president with an annual salary of $215,000, which would equal the salary of former president Joseph Lee III.
Council members Carol Chumney and Myron Lowery abstained. Chumney said there should have been a national search. Lowery had concerns about Collins' lack of utility experience.
Herenton told reporters after a committee vote earlier today that he had hoped Collins would get final approval.
"He's just very competent and a dedicated public servant," Herenton said.

Director Sohn Young-sung has already been in the spotlight once before when he made his feature debut with "The Pit and The Pendulum" in 2008. This film, which was invited to Cannes Critics' Week, is the furthest kind of work from a genre film. So when we heard he had directed a proper courtroom thriller, we were curious about how this came about. Reporter JUNG Han Seok met with Sohn and asked him about how he started the project, selected the cast, and what it was like directing "The Client".

Hey everybody
Whats up everyone. A little about myself. I am someone who would like to meet someone I can get to know around the Charlotte area. I moved to the area about a yr ago and have found a few places. I am always up for finding new places and activities. I am considered to be a fun easygoing guy. I love my family, enjoy my job, cooking, not so much the grocery shopping ( I always forget to make lists and end up going about 5x a week). I do go back to NY at least once a yr to visit friends/ family but I'm loving the fact the winters are so mild down here. I would love to travel again, whether it be somewhere in the states I haven't been or over seas again. As for now only Prague and Vienna are my two spots outside the western hemisphere, but I'm thinking Germany next. Well If you want to know more message me, if not enjoy.
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs

32 year old woman | Shoreview, MN, USA | Seeking men 25-35 within 20 miles of Saint Paul, MN
Active within 5 days
Normal is just a setting on the dryer.
Hello there, random person browsing my profile. I'm really not the girl most are looking for. I'm thick - also often referred to in kinder words as "BBW", "big-boned" (bunch of crap), "full-figured", etc. I like food, and I'm not a huge fan of exercising or "spending time outside", but I am trying to get into healthier habits not to start down the path of a supermodel figure, but just to get myself healthy. I'm introverted, but that doesn't mean I can't be social or nice to your people. I love all sorts of animals, but with work and various social activities, the only thing I have now are plants because they don't require much in terms of time or attention. I am ridiculously allergic to cats as well, which kind of puts a damper on my future plans to be a spinster with a houseful of felines (and probably explains why I'm here as well). I trust that anyone reading this is probably here for the same thing. I am a Christian looking for the same - a guy who tries his best to love God and live the way we're called to live and is kind to others. There's still so much to learn about God and what His plan is for me, so right now I'm trying to take things one day at a time and remember that I'm very much loved and forgiven. Otherwise, not a whole lot to know about me. Um...I like stuff. Who I'm looking for: A Christian guy who finds this world and life and people absolutely fascinating. Someone who geeks out about learning new things and has a zest for life. I have an image of my head of the perfect relationship: sitting next to each other on the couch reading - content just to be together, even in silence. As Etta James put it, "I want a Sunday kind of love. The kind that lasts past Saturday night.

Right now, I'm kind of lazy and not home enough to take care of anything that lives outside of a tank. Plus, as much as I like them, I am allergic to cats.
Middle of the Road
My favorite spot is just somewhere warm and sunny where I can have a nice beverage and sink into a comfy chair and have a good conversation.
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus, Minneapolis, MN
Lots of favorite books and movies - too many to list here. Sci-fi, Indian/Italian food, going to movies, a good cup of coffee, spending time with my favorite people.
I love rainy days when I can curl up on the couch with a big fluffy blanket and a good book. My friends are my fun time. We do baseball games, movies, and life together. It's the simple stuff that really all makes it worthwhile.
I do love to read. There's generally a new book under my belt (figuratively, because literally would be just sort of uncomfortable and awkward) pretty much every week, so updating this section every time is kind of difficult.

Municipal Government Part-Time Employee Benefits Practices
Roberts, Gary E., Public Personnel Management
Part-time employment is a basic human resource staffing in the United States and elsewhere. (1) In the United States, there were approximately 21.4 million permanent part-time employees comprising 15.8 percent of the 135.2 million member workforce. (2) In terms of local government, 1.6 million of the 10.4 million labor force (15.4 percent) works part-time. (3) A major research issue is the degree of employee benefits equity between full- and part-time employees that, in turn, is a major component of overall employment equity. (4) A major objective of this study is to determine whether municipal governments are assuming the role of "model employers" by providing benefits for their part-time employees.
In addition, there is an absence of research on the organizational, community, and benefits administration variables that are associated with the provision of part-time employee benefits as well as on the relationship between the provision of family-friendly benefits and the availability of part-time benefits. Are municipalities that emphasize work and family balance more likely to provide part-time benefits? To address the above questions, this study utilizes a large sample of municipal government personnel and benefits managers to identify the variables that are associated with the provision of part-time employee benefits.
Policy and Management Issues Associated with Part-time Employment
Municipal governments employ part-time workers for a variety of fiscal and service delivery reasons, including: 1. reduced compensation and benefits costs, 2. enhanced flexibility in service delivery and staffing, and 3. the opportunity to screen employees for full-time jobs. (5) Employees are attracted to part-time work because of opportunities for: 1. flexible schedules, 2. work and family balance, 3. career exploration, 4. work experience, 5. income supplementation (moonlighters), and 6. income generation while searching for a full-time job. (6)
Part-time employment is critiqued from a variety of public policy perspectives, including the absence of compensation equity (unequal pay and benefits for the same work), the preponderance of women and minorities perpetuating employment discrimination, the attenuation of career advancement opportunities through labeling of part-time employees as less committed (the "mommy track"), and a lowering of human capital investment and appreciation (underemployment). (7) From an employer standpoint, part-time employees can be relatively more expensive to supervise, manifest higher turnover rates, and take longer to reach full competency. (8)
Critics of part-time employment argue that the above negative aspects contribute to the development of dual labor markets between part-time "dead-end" jobs and primary full-time employment. (9) The majority of part-time employment (approximately 80 percent) is categorized as "voluntary," but labor economists disagree on the accuracy of the employment status measurement process. (10) Irrespective of the validity of the assessment process, structural changes in the world economy will continue to pressure organizations of all sectors to increase flexible and contingent labor market practices, including temporary, contract and part-time employment. (11)
The part-time labor market in the public sector differs significantly, however, from the private sector. Average hourly compensation levels in the private sector are significantly lower for part-time employment versus full-time employment, even within the same establishment and occupation. (12) In the governmental sector, civil service statutes mandate pay equivalency for identical work, attenuating somewhat the advantages of part-time employment relative to reducing wage costs. (13)
The issue is more complicated when benefits costs are compared for full-time versus part-time employees. Are the costs per hour equivalent for full versus part-timers? A recent private sector analysis found no significant differences between part-and full-time hourly benefits costs for all categories except for higher part-time health care expenditures (18 percent higher). …

The Standard Silver reverse paired with a Liberty cap-and-stars portrait on the obverse. For the specific set of dies, the tip of the cap is under the ES in STATES. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. The experts at uspatterns.com suggest "2 or 3 known" as a population for this aluminum delicacy, though perhaps a couple more than that exist. This is the single finest example certified by PCGS (5/12), though of course it has little competition for the title. Well-preserved aluminum surfaces are minimally toned with excellent contrast. The reverse is rotated slightly counterclockwise relative to "coin turn." (PCGS# 61189)

Netbackup does not clean expired images
Hello everyone.
We have Netbackup 7.0 installed on Redhat 5.5. For this moment we are only using NB to perform Oracle database backups. The everyday backup works good but we have problem with removing expired images. I have retention set to 1 week but I have images older than 2 week. At first the image cleanup did not start itself than I tried this http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH125429 and now I can see cleanup job running automatically in activity monitor, but it doesn't delete the expired ones I guess for some reasons cleanup job thinks it's not expired.

Sure your retention is set to 1 week? The retention level for the Default-Application-Backup is used for the image retention, not Automatic Backup Schedule.

Thanks for your replay, Actually I thought Full was for backup retention. I checked the Default-Application-Backup and I had one month there now I changed it to one week and run the image cleanup (/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimage -cleanup -allclients) again, but still I have backup images from 2 Feb. to 12 Feb. Does it need 1 week to take effect ?
It could be this one - so worth upgrading to 7.0.1 (or better still 220.127.116.11):
From the 7.0.1 Release Notes:
Associated Primary Etrack: 2016865
■ TITAN cases: 411-696-095
■ Contained in: NBLU_7.0.1.UNIX NBLU_7.0.1.WIN NB_7.0.1 NB_7.0.1.winnt.IA64
NB_7.0.1.winnt.x64 NB_7.0.1.winnt.x86 NB_CLT_7.0.1
■ Description:
If ExpMgr failed, the disk cleanup would not run again for a Disk Staging Storage
Unit (DSSU). This issue caused the jobs to hang.
A 7 day retention would generally not have images older than 8 days left (caused by the cleanup interval in NetBackup itself)
For a quick disk cleanup run:
nbdelete -allvolumes -force
Hope this helps - primary advice is to patch or upgrade
#edit# excellent advice from Marianne about the retention period

Not quite, this command actually deletes the fragments off the disk ..., the is the actual storage unit.
" The nbdelete command removes all deleted fragments from the
As I know (correct me if wrong) every single backup has its own retention information according to Default-application-backup what if i change it ? Does this means that old backups with different retention information will be updated or it will only take effect to new backup images ?
Also there is retention in Policy>>Schedules>>Full What this retention period is used for ?
Each backup has a retention period set at the time of the backup
If you change the retention of the default-application schedule now it will not change the retention of previous backups
If you do want to change those you can use bpexpdate to change their expiry date
The nbdelete -allvolumes -force only deletes expired fragments - it will not delete all of your valid disk images - I know the command sounds scary but it is an image cleanup for disk backups

Is this your problem? You expected the Automatic Backup schedule retention to be applied and did not realize that Application Backup schedule retention will be applied?
Explanation from Oracle Admin Guide UNIX,Linux http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH127053 :
Application Backup
The retention period for an Application Backup schedule refers to the length of time that
NetBackup keeps backup images (stream-based backups).
Automatic Backup
The retention period for an automatic schedule controls how long NetBackup keeps records of when scheduled backups
occurred (proxy backups).

Blue Jays claim Eli Whiteside off waivers from Yankees
Dec 3, 2012, 2:20 PM EDT
Eli Whiteside has been a busy guy.
First the Yankees claimed him off waivers from the Giants in early November. Then he avoided arbitration with the Yankees by signing a one-year, $625,000 deal. Then the Yankees dropped him from the 40-man roster and placed him back on waivers.
And now the Blue Jays have claimed Whiteside, assuming his $625,000 contract and putting him on their 40-man roster. For now, at least. Who knows how long that will last considering Whiteside's recent travels and Toronto's tendency to claim and waive players constantly.
Meanwhile, he's a 33-year-old career .215 hitter and no higher than third on the Blue Jays' current catching depth chart, all while the Yankees try to replace Russell Martin behind the plate.
- plmathfoto - Dec 3, 2012 at 2:29 PM
Why did the Yankees pick him up at all if they were going to drop him? Why did they tender him a contract? Does it cost them nothing to do this? Just curious, probably don't understand something here.
- proudlycanadian - Dec 3, 2012 at 2:47 PM
Both the Yankees and the Jays routinely claim players that they do not intend to keep on their 40 man roster. Eventually those players are placed on waivers with the hope that nobody claims them. If they make it through waivers, the team has beefed up its Triple A roster at little cost..
- jwbiii - Dec 3, 2012 at 3:36 PM
Just the cost of the waiver claim, $25K. The Yankees paid the Giants, the Blue Jays paid the Yankees. The Yankees break even.
Whiteside is out of options. The Blue Jays already have Arencibia, Buck, d'Arnaud, and A.J. Jimenez (AA catch'n'throw guy, contract recently purchased to keep him out of the Rule 5 draft pool) on the 40 man roster, so expect to see him DFA'd or released before the season.
- proudlycanadian - Dec 3, 2012 at 2:31 PM
For now, he provides depth in case the Jays trade a catcher.
- proudlycanadian - Dec 3, 2012 at 2:55 PM
Jason Stark is now reporting that the Mets are getting serious about trading R. A. Dickey.
- cur68 - Dec 3, 2012 at 3:13 PM
Our Boys need a pitcher. They have catchers coming out the wazoo, surplus outfielders, and expendable farm talent. The Mets need a centre fielder, a catcher and some farm talent. The Mets have a pitcher whom they probably feel can't help them rebuild and he wants paying commensurate with his work.
The thought of The Mighty Dickey in Beaver Land…well the euphemisms, they write themselves, eh? The starting rotation…well, if this gets done, I am seriously considering going the FULL halladaysbicepts and proclaim Our Boys the WS champs from the first day of spring training. Then I may spend the remainder of the season alternating between ripping them for losses and attacking anyone who DARES speak ill of them. Might even make a point of drunk commenting at least twice a week.
- missthemexpos - Dec 3, 2012 at 2:32 PM
Smells like another Blue Jay trade coming soon.
- cur68 - Dec 3, 2012 at 2:36 PM
AA collectin' him s'more catchery goodness, eh? I can only imagine that he plans to do a mega blockbustery tradey thingy. Basically I see a Super Package of Whiteside and/or Buck, an OFer, and AAA prospect trade with some desperate GM who needs a warm body behind the plate, some feet in centre, needs farm talent and has a surplus of arms. Mets, anyone?
- uyf1950 - Dec 3, 2012 at 2:42 PM
I guess the 2 catchers aren't enough for the Blue Jays.
- proudlycanadian - Dec 3, 2012 at 2:57 PM
The Jays now have 5 catchers on the 40 man roster, although 1 is coming off TJ surgery.
- uyf1950 - Dec 3, 2012 at 3:21 PM
I was more referring to their 25 man active roster.
- dirtyharry1971 - Dec 3, 2012 at 6:12 PM
It wouldnt do them any good if they had 15 catchers, i wouldnt give 10 cents for any of them
- soxfan1966 - Dec 3, 2012 at 5:39 PM
Based on the offer that the Mets made to Boston, it sounds like it would take a bit more than Buck and some warm body from Buffalo to pry Dickey loose from CitiField.

'77 Harley Ironhead 6000 miles across Oz
I made this ride about this time last year and have been meaning to post some pics etc so thought I better get around to it.
I think it qualifies as an adventure ride for a couple of reasons; one, I completely rebuilt the bike from the ground up in the previous year so whether my workmanship would hang together for the duration was a big question mark hanging over the whole trip.
The other is I owned the bike since new and travelled around Australia on it in the late 70s, so it was a bit of a personal adventure of rediscovery. And at the destination in Adelaide I rode into the annual Christmas run with my old riding buddies from 30 years ago.
And its like that poster that says, adventure is taking inappropriate equipment places it was never intended to go. You probably could not get a more inappropriate touring bike than an old Sportster.
This is the route I planned on taking, roughly:
But in the end I cut across on the inland leg north because it was getting too hot for the old bike (and me), well over the 100 degrees all day long. So I turned east at Bourke and went over to the coast at Port Macaquarie and rode around the New England mountain country for a few days, then sort of angled back inland when the heat wave subsided to a flat 100 degrees. It added 1000 miles to my trip but was lots of fun.
Here is the tools I took, plus a small box containing a spare voltage regulator, generator brushes, float needle and carb o-rings, spare chain link.
After having just rebuilt the bike completely I was just all too aware of how much I was relying on some pretty dodgy technology to keep going.
I got all the creature comforts sorted out: sheepskin seat cover (over that very skinny 1975-style cobra seat), with a bit of high-density foam from a camping sleeping pad slipped under it.
And I put some bicycle handgrips on my highway pegs so my feet don`t vibrate off all the time.
With that lovely bright red Ventura top bag (robbed off my Honda) in place against the sissy bar it makes a perfect back rest. I put a sheet of that camping sleeping pad down the front of that bag too so it is nice and comfy. Got my tent and sleeping bag inside there, with a bag of tools. The throwover saddlebags are not good for much weight so mostly clothes in there (lots of warm clothes for the frigid south when my tropical-bred ass gets there)
So the big questions on my mind as I took off were
Is an Ironhead as reliable as an Evo? (Of course it is)
Can you long distance tour on a Sportster? (Of course you can. I did it before)
Will that 30-year-old fatigued iron hang together? (Will my even older fatigued ass hang together???)
Is my workmanship good for the duration? (700 hours of my labor in the rebuild, damn I hope so.)
Should I know better by now? (Definitely)

Ok, a little background
Here's me with the bike in about 1980 after spending a couple of years travelling around most of Australia on it. I went to every state on it except Western Australia. I would have had to ride about 2,000 miles of dirt from Darwin to about Perth in those days so I gave it a miss. Although, I ended up doing plenty of dirt road riding in Queensland and the Northern Territory. The old Sporty actually slides pretty well, basically they were designed as a desert racer originally.
And here is the old girl when I dragged it out of my Dad's shed Christmas 2008, after it sat there for more than 20 years. I never ran a speedo back in those day but estimated it had done something like 50-75,000 miles. So, aha, I thought, a quick freshen up and it should be ready to ride. After all the last time I rode all those years ago was from Brisbane to Adelaide, about 1200 miles in two days, so she should still be good to go.
Once I got it up on the bench I found one thing after another that needed fixing. Every piece of plastic (not many but critical things like wiring connectors) and rubber (oil tank mounts, seals etc) needed replacing. And I found a few hand grenades ready to go off. Clutch hub nut had come loose and the clutch was ready to fire out through the cases. Front rim was trashed from all that dirt riding. Kicker mechanism was trashed and required the gearbox casings welded up and so on and on.
$3,000 of parts and 700 hours of my labour and she was ready to go.
Anyhow, one thing led to another, and this "minor freshen up" ended up with the bike looking like this, except I had the swing arm and shockers off too and put in new bearings just before I remembered to take this pic.
The motor came down as far as the bottom end. The flyweels and rods felt good so did the top end, the transmission and primary.
IT was all done on a shoestring in my garage. This my "special tool" for holding the rods while reaming new small end bushings. You can see my homemade clutch compressing special tool hanging in the top left of the pic.
Note those shiny cases - another lost weekend with the electric drill and some buffing wheels and compound.
And here is the bike when I first finished the rebuild last year. It has the stock 2 gallon tank on it. I put the three gallon Super Glide tank back on it so I could go a whole 150 miles between refills instead of about 90.

On the road... at last
Took off mid-November last year as the tropical summer heat was building, racing to get south before the monsoons hit.
The speedo as I left home was 7km to go to 7700km on this 77 model. If I was superstitious, I would say those were good numbers. This is the original speedo, found still in a box in the roof of my Dad's shed where I threw it after peeling it off the bike in the first few weeks I had it. That guy never throws anything away!
Out playing with the big dogs. Road train outside Marlborough road house between Mackay and Rockhampton. I got so excited about the ride I did not get any pics the first day. I camped at Mackay the first night, right by the beach. It was a 700km ride (420 miles) and I arrived late, found the campground was full, rode around exhuasted in the dark until I stumbled on a beach campground and put up my tent just in time for a huge rainstorm. Some German tourists took pity on me, gave me beer to drink and food to eat.
I was not the craziest person on the Rocky road. These two german lads were travelling from Cairns to Sydney, almost 1700 miles, on a bicycle and skateboard. They do 40km a day, about 25 miles. Cops kept giving them tickets for riding the skateboard on the highway!!
They carry three t-shirts each, one extra pair of shorts each and two spare tires. They are probably still on the road now, a year later.
Crossing the Tropic of Capricorn at Rockhampton. Officially leaving the tropics and heading to the frozen south. Temps were 95-100 degrees F for most of my trip.Bike running hot as anything, rattling like crazy but going like a rocket.
This is the southernmost point wherethe sun is directly overhead at noon. And the start of Australia's hottest parts, which are building up to the monsoon rains this time of year.
By this time my clutch had started slipping and I was really sweating it. I had put the old clutch plates back in because they looked ok and Harley does not specify any minimum thickness. Now I was really kicking myself because every time I gunned it the clutch would slip. If I kept a steady throttle at 55mph it would just cruise along ok.
Lucky I have an uncle who lives in Rockhmpton so I figured I could pop the primary cover off there and take a look, maybe get my buddy Prong to send me some clutch plated down from his shop in Cairns. I had all the tools I needed to do the job in that lovely bright red top bag on the back.

cool stuff. I worked at a Harley dealer in 1977 and remember the sportsters that year. lots of different colors with pretty cool lettering and a big exhaust can too. might have been 2 into 1?
I remember rows of the stock exhaust hanging from the ceiling.
everyone who bought a new sporty had them taken off and replaced.
My cousin bought a new 1976 for $2200, Superglides were $2700.
and of course the choice of kick or electric start...

Sunday dinner in Rockhampton
I arrived just in time for Sunday roast. Mmmmm. Considering I had not stopped for dinner the day before and had only a quarter of a chicken at a Red Rooster, I was soooo ready for that roast dinner.
Arriving at my Uncle's place outside Rocky:
His shed.
After a roast dinner and a few beers in the afternoon I got a good night's sleep in a real bed. I needed it too. Every muscle in my office-worker's body was aching from the long days in the saddle, and that lovely cobra seat.
In the morning I had a "eureka" moment and decided that I should eliminate the simple stuff before tearing into the clutch. Checked the tranny oil level, all ok, no cause of clutch slip there..
Checked the clutch actuator mechanism and Eureka!! the little adjusting screw was tight, propping the clutch plates apart that tiny bit. I had forgotten that as the plates wear, or bed in after a rebuild, that gap closes up.
But I could not get a wrench into the tight space to back off the lock nut. I had not brought a socket large enough with me and the open end wrenches would not fit in there.
Dug arounnd in uncle's salubriously appointed workshep there and found nothing. Until another Eureka moment and I realised my spark plug wrench was the perfect tool.
Took it for a blast up and down the dirt road in front of uncle's house, doing big rooster tails trying to make the clutch slip. All good. No more slipping.
I only realised when I got back to the house and uncle and aunt were staggering out on the front porch in dressing gowns that it was about 6.30am. Being that much further south than where I live, it gets light that much earlier, something I had forgotten. Dunno what the neighbours thought but I was jacked, my first problem on the road solved so easy.
The gods of motorcycling are smiling down on me.
Leaving Rocky, typical Aussie back road. That is why I always prefered the Sporty over a Big Twin - they slide better on the dirt.
Typical Aussie main road, and terrain.
Lunch in beautiful downtown Monto, through fantastic winding roads in beautiful farm country.
Big old art deco shire hall is classic.
Camped down the road at a town called Goomeri, a small campground behnd a truck stop. Mostly permanent residents and just a couple of travellers. A guy and his wife in a camper trailer came over looking at the Harley, along with all the other residents. They ended up feeding me and giving me beer and massive amounts of white wine. A great night had by all.
I wasnt the only person travelling on old machinery. This guy is going around Australia in the old school bus.
Okay, I got to go do some work. I have a millon more pics so will post more later/tomorrow.

I paid A$3,200 for mine. Electric start was $3600. Superglide was well over $4,000. This was at a time when a Honda Four was $1695.

On to the Sunshine Coast, and lots of liquid sunshine
I rode on from Goomeri a short day's ride to the Sunshine Coast via some scenic backroads that I was so stoked to be riding on I did not stop to take pics.
I stayed with my young nephew Mad Mick,at Maroochydore on the SunshineCoast. Here he is with his Buell, which I guess makes him a fourth generation Harley rider. He does all that stunt riding stuff and has written the thing off twice in six months. One time pulling a big mono off the lights while sitting on the gas tank with his legs sticking out etc. (PS, any cops reading this, I am lying, he was riding safely and sensibly when he suffered a traction loss due to diesel on the road).
Then when his broken neck just got done healing, some dumb cager pulled a u-turn in front of him. Lucky he always wears full leathers with armour etc and a full face $1,000 Arai helmet. I reckon he needs it. Lot to be said for ATTGATT, specially for young blokes prone to playing silly buggers.
Had a great day of rest at his place, gave the bike a quick checkover, pushrods needed no ajustmment, both chains were fine (Diamond O-ring rear chain had not been ajusted since Cairns. Love it). Oil was down the dipstick a little below full so I bought quart of Harley 50w at the local stealership, who showed no surprise or interest that a bloke needed it for his 31 year old Harley he was riding across the country. I think their hair jell had gotten to their brain cells. If it wasnt an Evo or Four Cam they didnt quite know what was going on. Anyhow, turned out it only need a cupful of oil, about 200cc. Not bad for over 1,000 miles in sapping heat most of the way. Looks like I bedded those rings and valve guides in ok.
Lucky I gave her a last kick on the muffler for good luck. Damn thing sort of vibrated back and forth like a giant tuning fork.
I found the rear muffler mounting bolt had fallen out, so I fitted a new one, with spring washer and Loctite. I swear by those aircraft header pipe clamps, it had held that pipe and muffler on for who knows how many miles. My own fault, I had the pipe off before I left to put a new oil tank mount rubber on and must have not cinched the muffler bolt up enough. Can't really blame the Sportster vibration for that. Paint shaker? What paint shaker?
Lunch at Esk in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Beatiful winding mountain roads up through near Maleny, over by a big reservoir and down towards Gatton, but it rained all the way. Fark it rained. Heavy and continuous. So much for sunshine. But the temperature was in the 80s so I just put on my waterproof yellow gumby suit and rode through it. The bike got filthy and started to look like it had been on the road for a while. It was slow going through the twisty mountain roads in the wet, visiblity was bugger all but the new Metzeler Marothon tires I had fitted grip brilliant in the rain. So much better than the old skates we used to run back in the day, Avon Roadrunners and such.
On the road from Gatton to Warwick. One of those unknown backroads no one goes on and just spectacular. This took me down into the New England area (yes we have one here too) which is rich green farming country full of painfully quaint old cottages etc, which I mostly thundered past without stopping to take pics. Fcuk that, the rain had stopped and I was out for the ride not the scenery.
And across the border from Queensland into New South Wales.
At this stage I had ridden for days and done well over 1,000 miles and was still in my home state of Queensand. Finally got out of state here.
NSW has the reputation of somewhat Nazi-like enforcement of speed limits and the road inside the state line is lined with all sorts of warning signs about how strict them are. Fcuk em. Gave each sign the finger as I rode past and wound her up to 75mph. (Regressing to teenage behaviour already. Must be the Harley's outlaw influence. )
Ok, now I gotta go and do some more work. I seem to be succesfully avoiding it this arvo but the rent has gotta be paid...

Celebrity Gossip & Entertainment News Leaders ®
Always a beautiful sight to behold, Gigi Hadid is red hot in the newly-released Summer 2015 Seafolly swimwear campaign.
The 20-year-old model-of-the-moment couldn't look any sexier in the Australian bathing suit brand's latest offerings, splashing in the sea and flaunting her ample curves.
Photo Credit: Seafolly
She's never one to miss out on a swanky shindig, and Karlie Kloss had a blast at the 2015 Summer Party at the Serpentine Gallery in London on Thursday (July 2).
The beautiful 22-year-old model wore a figure-hugging orange dress teamed with a pair of flat sandals with a lace-up ankle detail as she posed for the shutterbugs before heading inside Kensington Gardens.
Showing some love to their South Korean fans, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Emilia Clarke showed up at Seoul's Lotte World Mall on Thursday (July 2).
The "Kindergarten Cop" hunk and the "Game of Thrones" gal were in the house for the red carpet premiere of "Terminator: Genisys" and they received a warm welcome from the crowd.
He always chooses the most interesting projects, and Robert Pattinson's latest flick "Queen of the Desert" just debuted a new preview trailer.
Also starring Nicole Kidman (who had to learn to ride a camel for the gig), James Franco and Damian Lewis, the highly-anticipated movie is slated to hit theaters later this year.
Taking care of her to-do list, Hilary Duff ran errands around the Los Angeles area on Thursday afternoon (July 2).
The "Lizzie McGuire" lady recently stated that she's closed her Tinder account- "I'm not still using it. It was really fun for me for a minute; I wanted to experience something totally normal and also shock people. No one thought I was really on it – and I was really on it!"
Earlier this week they announced they were divorcing, but that doesn't mean Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner aren't still committed parents.
On Thursday (July 2) the "Good Will Hunting Hunk" and the "Butter" babe grabbed their three kids, hopped a plane and jetted down to their private estate in the Bahamas for some Fourth of July weekend fun.
It's been a tough year for Tracy Morgan, as he suffered near-life-threatening injuries in a car crash last June. And on Thursday (July 2) the "30 Rock" star looked to be on an upswing as he celebrated his daughter Maven's second birthday.
Morgan took his fiancée Megan Wollover and their little girl to Orlando, Florida where they spent the day at Walt Disney World riding rides and having a marvelous time together.
Enjoying all the perks of her celebrity status, Suki Waterhouse made an appearance at The Serpentine Gallery's annual summer party in London on Thursday night (July 2).
The adorable English model brought her younger sister Immy Waterhouse as her date and garnered plenty of attention thanks to her mint green Valentino gown that barely covered her modesty.

Welcome to the Green House! We are a family run business and aim to provide our guests with a clean, safe, welcoming and affordable place to stay in Dhaka.
All our rooms are furnished with comfortable western made beds, good quality furnishings and have en suite bathrooms which are spotless and have bathtubs as well as showers. All guestrooms are light and airy, have A/C, ceiling fans, mosquito nets, feature cool marble floors and coffee and tea making facilities. Some of our rooms also have large balconies which would suit the smokers amongst you.
Our back-up generator ensures we can provide our guests with 24 hour uninterrupted electricity and internet access. For those who have been in Bangladesh before, I am sure you will agree it is a real comfort and one usually only provided in overpriced 5 star hotels.
We are located in the Baridhara diplomatic zone which is regarded as the safest area in Dhaka as it has securely manned gateways into the area, most of which close at night. This makes it not only a safe area but a quiet one as well.
Our independent building has its own ground level parking area and caters for guests from all over the world and from all walks of life; from high ranking officials and business people to backpackers. Whoever our guest, all appreciate the writing desks and Wi-Fi internet available to them in their rooms. They tell us they also enjoy the friendly, homely atmosphere.
Some say Dhaka is a confusing, noisy, dirty, overcrowded and polluted city. Green House truly provides that peaceful haven necessary to unwind after a hectic day.
In short, Green House Dhaka provides travellers with the best facilities available in this price range. Services include a tasty and safe dining experience, a car hire service, airport pick-up and drop off and we happily assist with onward travel booking for those who wish to explore the many beautiful regions outside of Dhaka.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
From the airport pickup to return the staff helpful and resourceful. The Band B is just beginning so get in while you can, clean light and airy. The location is great, I felt so safe and when explained to people on my return home about my strolls along the water under trees on brick paths people questioned where I went. That said I was able to see the other aspects of Dhaka and again grateful to house staff. I have recommended this B and B to many friends already

That's the aggressive new headline screaming from the rooftops of Life & Style this morning. After watching her sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian both become mothers, Khloé Kardashian is more ready than ever to ditch her babyless Siberia and get pregnant.
If you have a mom who's divorced and watches Keeping Up With The Kardashians exclusively, then it's no secret to you that Khloé and her husband Lamar Odom have struggled to conceive. After going through another nine months of A Pregnancy That Isn't Hers, she's inspired to try a new method.
"Sources close to the reality star" revealed in the new issue that she's going to go off her fertility meds. She's going to totally cleanse and detoxify her body organically. She's going to hit the gym, reevaluate her diet, and push her body into top shape, i.e., her method to increase her fertility is to engage in no secret method.
"Khloé has really changed her eating habits for the better," added a friend close to the Kardashians, who said she's going all organic.
"She rarely eats carbs and eats lots of protein like chicken and fish. She is really into smoothies from Earthbar, too," added the source, who we'll just assume works for Earthbar.
All of this prepping for pregnancy has also reportedly brought Khloé down to a size 28 waist; she's lost 30 pounds in the process.
"She is hoping that without the extra weight or fertility meds," the source concluded, "she can finally get pregnant naturally."

Liverpool striker Daniel Pacheco is ready to leave the lug for Rayo Vallecano, according to talkSPORT.
The former Barcelona striker, who spent last season on loan at Norwich City, has failed to break into the Reds first team despite being earmarked as a star of the future upon his arrival from the Nou Camp.
However, with Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez in their ranks, Pacheco appears surplus to requirements at Liverpool.
The 20-year-old failed to secure a deal with newly promoted Norwich, despite scoring twice for the club as The Canaries were promoted from the Npower Championship.
Liverpool's inability to sell David N'Gog has also seemingly made the Spaniard's future at Anfield untenable, with first team opportunities few and far between.
The club did sign Marco Bueno earlier this summer on a trial, pushing Pacheco further down the Liverpool pecking order.

Hi, I am Richard and I was born in the 90′s in Birmingham, England. Through my life I have always played a lot of video games and I have a keen interest in Films (World Cinema / Japanese), 90′s Punk Music and Japan. My main aspiration in life is to contribute towards the video game industry in my own way and ideally I would love to make my own video games or even own my own company one day. In the last few years Video Games have gained a lot of recognition as art formats and is more recognized globally as "Career" in society. There is not much to say about my character, I am very passive and quite quiet but I have this strange sense of ambition that keeps me aiming forward. I hope you enjoy my works and I hope that over the years they will only get better and better. Even if this ends up as a hobby I will keep at it~

The styles of cabernet franc, the classic Loire red grape, vary as the river travels eastwards, reflecting the different soils.
To the visitor it is obvious as the colours of the countryside and towns change: white limestone, yellow-white tuffeau, the grey of gravel, all reflected in the glinting waters of the river and its many tributaries. Anjou and Saumur make good-value reds, sometimes with added cabernet sauvignon and pineau d'aunis.
Tremendous with Tagine
Anjou also grows gamay, most often used for rosé. Anjou's best reds, Anjou-Villages and Anjou-Villages Brissac, show a deeper, more savoury character from the clay and schist soils.
Saumur is a beautiful white town, built of limestone. The best wines reflect the purity of these limestone soils. Typical of the youthful style is Saumur Rouge 2011, Vignerons de Saumur (£9.50, yapp.co.uk) with baskets of raspberries and blackcurrants, given backbone by underlying tannin. On a warm day, chill it briefly.
In the heart of Saumur is Saumur-Champigny, a red-wine-only appellation, and a traditional favourite for flavour and freshness. Domaine de la Croix des Chaintres 2011 (£10.99., Waitrose) is light-bodied and full of plum and red berry fruit. Served with rack of lamb or game, it gives a crisp, fruity lift, much like a redcurrant sauce.
Corking with chorizo
Next door in Touraine, the Loire's most famous red appellations cluster, including St-Nicolas-de-Bourgeuil and Chinon. Many have the complexity to mature in a cellar for five to10 years. There is also a fine selection of younger wines. Domaine Bellevue Gamay de Touraine 2012 (£8.99, thewinecompany.co.uk) is a lighter red with juicy cherry flavours but has great depth of fruit well paired with chorizo or spiced prawns.
The young producer Nicolas Paget's Jajavanaise Cabernet-Côt 2011 (£8.25, thewinesociety.com) is a modern spin on Touraine.Cabernet franc gets added energy from the côt in the blend, giving deep plummy and violet tones. It makes a great match with baked gammon on Boxing Day and with mature hard cheeses.
Perfect with prawns
On the north bank of the Loire many of the wines of St-Nicolas-de-Bourgeuil benefit from the Ice Age gravels, giving added aromatic appeal. Domaine de la Cotelleraie 2011, St-Nicolas-de-Bourgeuil (£12.99, Morrisons) was matured in oak barrels, adding an extra layer of complexity to this wine made from organically grown grapes. Try it with a tagine: the red fruit complements the sweet spicing and apricots of the Moroccan dish.
Chinon lies on the opposite bank between the Loire and Vienne rivers. Henry II (Henry Plantagenet) had his court here in the Château de Chinon. His influence established the reputation of Loire wines in the next century. It was to this castle that Joan of Arc came in1429.
Domaine du Briançon 2011 (£9.49, Marks & Spencer) is a vibrant Chinon with intense blackberries and dark plums, and spicy undertones. Pair with roast lamb studded with garlic, anchovies and rosemary.
Immense charm
For lovers of red wines, the Loire guarantees elegance, freshness and balance.
Part of this is the grape variety: the Loire is the spiritual home of cabernet franc, the parent of cabernet sauvignon, carmenère and merlot.
Its glorious violet, black fruit and fresh herb character give it immense aromatic charm, and it is particularly approachable when young.
In the Loire it grows in a cool climate, and in some years it can be challenging to ensure it ripens.
This is part of its appeal, for when it comes right it rewards the effort.

In the wake of reports that LaMarcus Aldridge was not impressed with the basketball portion of the Lakers' free agency presentation, Kobe Bryant tweeted a not-so-happy meme. Kobe upset with reports?

The Warriors have agreed to terms on a five-year, $85 million deal with free agent forward Draymond Green, according to Bleacher Report. Green told the website: "It's been a long journey to get to this point, whether it's always trying to overcome the odds, overcome doubters, but to be in this position, signing back with the Warriors is amazing."

Philadelphia will get Carl Landry, Jason Thompson and Sacramento's 2014 first-round pick Nik Stauskas, according to ESPN and multiple reports. The deal was first reported by Yahoo! Sports. Sacramento has entered the race for the Blazers free agent swingman Wesley Matthews, according to league sources. Story
Rising concern tonight in Clipperland about DeAndre Jordan bolting. They were confident until today, now feel it's "50-50"
I'm also told that the Kings have secured a visit this week with Wes Matthews, putting Sacramento in the running with Dallas and Toronto
The Kings, after completing this trade, will have the salary-cap space to outbid Indiana for a free agent they've long coveted: Monta Ellis
Sixers will receive a protected 1st-round pick from the Kings, and swap rights w/ Sacto in the 1st round of two other drafts, sources say.
ESPN senior writer Ramona Shelburne: "There wasn't really a doubt. There was more like a pause. ... The first conversation, there was a gap in what he wanted versus what they were offering. But essentially he was just watching everyone else get obscene amounts of money."
Twenty-five minutes left in the wildest July 1 we've ever seen on Planet Roundball. C'mon, NBA. Don't be wasteful

Omer Asik and the Pelicans are finalizing terms to keep the big man on New Orleans' front line alongside Anthony Davis, according to Marc Stein. Davis was signed to a five-year, $145 million extension with the Pelicans in the opening minutes of free agency.

Iman Shumpert has agreed to a four-year, $40M contract to remain with the Cavaliers, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst and multiple reports. Shumpert averaged 9.1 ppg and 4.9 rpg for the Cavs in the playoffs, but disappeared in the NBA Finals.
ESPN's Brian Windhorst: "Had he left in free agency, they would not have the mechanism to D up a wing defensive player and shoot 3's alongside LeBron James."
Max Kellerman suggests DeAndre Jordan join the Lakers and cash in next season when Kobe Bryant is off the books. Marcellus Wiley doesn't buy that advice: "Let me ask you if going to a worse team for less money with questionable ownership is a better move or not."
ESPN sources say Raptors and Mavs still locked in battle for Wes Matthews. Yes: Raps still want him after striking deal with DeMarre Carroll

Interview About Common Core With Former Bossier Parish Superintendent Jane Smith [Audio]
What exactly is this curriculum called Common Core?
What exactly is this curriculum called Common Core?
If you missed the interview on "Cory and Elizabeth in the Morning" this morning with Sabrina Adsit and Chris Lyons from the Louisiana Film Prize, don't worry! We've got you covered!
Elizabeth and I are both parents and as we prepared for this morning's show, we came across this touching tribute.
When I heard the news of Joan Rivers passing today, I was stricken. So often celebrities die and we mourn their loss, but Joan Rivers was hero to women throughout the entertainment industry.
Cory and Elizabeth discussed a touchy subject this morning. We asked our listeners to give us their thoughts on whether or not they thought that teachers should be allowed to carry firearms on school campuses.
The Sportsman's Expo is coming to the Shreveport Convention Center this weekend and there will be plenty to do and see including celebrities. The DeRamus family of Cajun Pawn Stars are making the trip up from Alexandria and will be meeting fans, signing autographs and even appraising your items.
We've all lived the nightmare of trying to deal with customer service on the phone. Well, this encounter sums it all up.
This guy wants to cancel his cable service with Comcast, but the operator is anything but cooperative
Do you know someone that needs taken down a notch? How about someone who needs to lighten up or have a laugh. We've got the website for you! It's PrankDial.com!
Traditionally known as the 'medical' krewe of the Ark-La-Tex, the Krewe of Aesclepius has members from every area of industry.
Today I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Jim McMichael, Captain of the Krewe of Justinian XX. One thing is for sure, for a group of lawyers, they sure do know how to get into the Mardi Gras spirit!
The Krewe des les Femmes Mystique is the oldest all-female krewe in the Ark-La-Tex and was established in 1999. Not only does les Femmes celebrate Mardi Gras, they focus community service with this year's main philanthropies being both the Caddo and Bossier Councils on Aging.

Renaldo Balkman spent six seasons in the NBA with the New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets, playing only around 14 minutes per game and averaging 3.0 points and 1.9 rebounds. To this point, his professional career has been very forgettable. The meltdown he had on Thursday while playing in a Philippine Basketball Association game will likely be remembered forever. According to GMA News, Balkman — who plays for the Petron Blaze Boosters — was upset with a non-call late in the game during a loss to the Alaska Aces. Balkman had attempted a hook shot with 26.7 seconds remaining and his team trailing by seven, and he felt that he had been fouled on the miss. That turned the former Knick into a bull in a china shop, as he moved toward the officials and shoved his own teammates when they tried to stop him. At one point, teammate Arwind Santos shoved Balkman back and Balkman responded by putting his hand on Santos' throat. Someone wearing a denim vest eventually came out of the stands to calm Balkman down. Television announcers speculated the man may have been a friend. Balkman later took to Twitter to apologize for his spaz-out. I wld like to apologize to the fans, Petron Blaze, my teammates, the PBA and especially @tubidronald71 and @arwind029 — Renaldo Balkman (@R_Balkman32) March 8, 2013 I think it's safe to say someone is a little frustrated with the way things have been going. We have seen players choke opponents before during altercations on the court, but putting your hand on a teammate's throat is a bit more rare. Somebody get this man a cold shower.

More yin yang for you
If you have no yin yangs at all and find two or more of these, don't get them all at once. Get only one them and transform. You'll see the yin yang you just got renew itself. Now, get them all and you'll be off with more yin yangs than you would have if you got them all in the first place.

You want to use fine grain film -- Agfa 25 was a favorite, Ilford Pan F should do very well -- although -- this was fun -- I actually got excellent results, not very grainy at all, pushing Ilford HP5+ to 1600 in a minox. Ilford is made to be pushed.
If you can't find any empty cassettes and decide you want to make a slitter -- flat bed slitters are easy to make and the plans are on the web -- let me know, I have a few spare cassettes laying around.
