CB900 Scrambler w/ Vids
So... I'm building a vintage scrambler/adventure/back roads/race bike. The starting point is a 1979 CB750K with a 1981 CB900F motor. I picked it up 4/12/2013 on the local CL for a few hundred bucks because it wasn't running. It has been sitting for the past 10 yrs.
Here's the back story.
I'm a bit of a moto blog junky and check up on bikeexif, pipeburn, thekneeslider ... a few times a week at least. This has led to a burning itch to do a vintage build of my own so it was only a matter of time. I'm a huge fan of the scrambler and brat bikes by the likes of CRD, LHS, Wrench Monkeies etc. so that's my inspiration.
I have the urge to hoon a bike of this design like this:
(yeah, I know they aren't Hondas. I'll make some Honda videos when it's done )
Here's more why:
I got back into riding in 2011 after a 4-5 year break by getting a street legal DRZ400E. It definitely felt like I was getting back to my roots of riding dirtbikes all the time as a kid. Since then I have ridden all sorts of dual sport oriented rides, lots of technical trail riding and some longer multiday adventure rides in CO and WY.
In 2012 I decided to give racing a try and chose RallyMoto as the way to do it. It's stage rally format like you may have seen with Rally cars. Full speed on closed back country roads! Stages are between 3 and 20 miles long It's a total hoot. http://rallymoto.com/ http://nasarallysport.com
Here's what it usually looks like from the riders seat.
My first race was on sand in at SandBlast Rally in SC.
The next one was Rally WV at Snowshoe, WV. I upgraded to a KTm 450XC-W mid season in 12.
I'm not one of the fast guys but I have tons of fun doing it. One of the neat things about this type of racing is that there are classes for all sizes of bikes so you have everything from 250 four stroke trail bikes to BMW boxers racing for overall points and against similar sized bikes for weight class points.
For RallyWV 2013 I decided to enter the heavy class (750.1cc+) so I'll be putting some knobby rubber on the CB and hitting the gravel to go at it with my buddies on big bikes.
More to come...

CB900 Scrambler / Racer - Now with 150% more video
I started this build log over on DTT and I'm going to start posting it in parallel over here. I'll get it all copied over in the next few days so all my ADV buddies can get the action while they are here.
The plan is to break this build up into two stages. The first sage is just getting the bike on the road for as little money as possible. The second stage throughout the summer will be performance upgrades like suspension, brakes and maybe a set of flat slide carbs.
The bike sat for 9 years so a carb rebuild is in order as well as knocking the dust and rust off all sorts of bits. I'm painting the wheels and frame satin black. Some bits will be left silver as accents. the tank will be red on top with black on the lower area below the body line.
Week 1
I started with easy stuff and disassembled from front to back while waiting for the carb kit and new carb boots to arrive.
Needed new fork seals but the wheel bearings and brakes were good.
The caliper was pretty crusty. This is after some work with a wire brush. That pile of debris at the bottom is what came off these things.
I took everything to work and hit it with the bead blaster. Love that thing!
You can tell by the caliper half and lower tree I hadn't done yet just how pristine it makes gritty parts. I spent lots of time taping off areas that I didn't want covered in beads. Also, I ran bolts into any threaded areas to keep the grit out as well.
The tires where hard as a rock so rather than wrestle them off the rim I cut a chunk out wit a band saw then cut the steel belt in the bead with a cutoff wheel.
While waiting for the carb kit to arrive I pulled them off and dropped the bowls to see what I was up against.
Not great but I've seen worse.

Longest build thread e-v-e-r.
(Note the messed up date imprint on the first image...10/01/2025)
Nothing gets by the discerning ADV crowd! Nothing!
The funny thing is that's actually the Craigslist photo from the PO. I didn't bother taking pics before tearing into it.

Coffee break
Week 2
The carb kit arrived so I set up my work station on a card table in the living room. The carbs on the 900 are Keihin VM43B.
I managed to delete the pics I had of the all those tiny parts everywere but I can say that next time I have a set that needs a full tear down I'll probably send them off. ;) It is good to know how these carbs work in and out though and it should make future tuning an easier process.
Here's what was left behind after the fact.
I ordered the wrong kit from e-bay so I had to wait for a new accelerator pump diaphram and fuel rail o-rings befor final assembly.
In the mean time I got the wheels painted and the new tires mounted.
The color is satin black.
I got brave and started detabbing and did some chopping too. I love running an angle grinder.
As you can see a little here I cut down the countershaft cover a bit too so I can inspect the CS sprocket without removing the cover.
Swingarm and other misc parts went to the bead blast cabinet.
Here's a quick video of blasting the swingarm.

That Left Hand Cycles CB750 you posted at the top (the OD green one) is sort of inspiration for my XV920. Right now it's even sitting in OD green (rattle-can paintjob, but oh well it'll get dropped and scratched so I don't care). My build thread is in this same section.
Some of the "for show" stuff on the LHC CB750 are kind of goofy (lack of back brake for one) but I'm digging the minimalist nature of it.
Enjoy the project!

Can't imagine no rear brake. The LHS shock mounts are probably ok for pub hopping but mine will be made right for taking this thing off some sweet jumps.

Monday evening build progess...
It was hot and dry out when I got home so I decide to work on the tank.
I layed down some red Duplicolor Metal Specks over light grey primer. Putting it over a light color made it a little too magenta. I'm going to sand it then put some red Duplicolor Metalcast on it to get more of a candy red tone. If I still don't like it I'm going to cover it in a layer of silver and then do the Metalcast.
The lower area below the body line will still be satin black either way.
The inner fender is trimmed to its final dimensions. Pretty inconspicuous so I'll keep it.
I put a spare seat cover from a dirtbike seat on while the leather seat is being made. Fits pretty well actually and nice and grippy
I thougth I had a solution I liked for tail light/license plate bracket but it sat too high. I'm going to patch those holes and weld a plate that puts it all a little lower
I tried a few mock-ups of an oil cooler mount. I decided to try them in some scrap HDPE because I can cut and shape it more quickly. I'm going to drill and tap the frame to mount the final product which will be aluminum. I'm going to shape it to match the ears on the oil cooler.

I followed a guy into town the other day on a KTM "enduro"...almost more of a supermoto, but it wasn't the supermoto model...that had this like 6 or 7 LED taillight with a plate bracket below it, and if you looked REALLY hard you could see that the outermost LED was blinking to orange when he had the turn signals on. I guess if that'll keep you "legal" then whatever, but I was right behind him at the stoplight on my bike and could just barely make it out. Might be more visible at night, but the only thought in my mind was...if you can't really see it, what's the point?
Looking good...can't wait to see the finished project! Definitely a lot more refined than my "rattle-can rat bike" will be. ;-) Actually debating on adding some cheap graphics to my tank...either the totally cliche shark teeth, or maybe a couple of Misfits skulls...leaning towards the skulls...in fact even leaning towards adding those to my flat black CJ5!

Vaseline too
This is almost exactly what I'm doing to my 82 cb750f/ss. I've been waiting for the kids to be gone, close enough, all outta school, maybe now daddy can have a toy or 3!
I'm goin' with either the xr or drz front end, whole thing if possible, I think a single shock. Hell I'll lose some lbs. just on those two mods. I'm keepin' the 4 into 2, sexy sounding beast, especially w/supertrapps!
You got me motivated now, just got my new stator the other day, check the rest of the electrical and I'll be able to light her up!

You've got boxes
After much delay, XR650R front end is headed your way.
Speaking of delay, what took so long? I was using my free cycle time to prep the sub-sonic swine for hare scramblin' on the 4th of July. Now that all that is wrapped up, I got everything sorted and stuffed into cardboard. It looks like someone might have hit something really hard with the front wheel, just sayin.

I can taste it...the closeness.
So close I can taste it.
Wheels, fender, chain, swingarm, shocks, handlebars, grips, side cover, levers....all assembled and given proper torque.
Epoxyied the magnet for the speedo pickup to the rotor and tested it out. Bingo.
This kit came with a thermostat that goes under a spark plug. Any thougths on that? I'm not convinced I like the idea.
I finally made a battery box mount that will do for now. I pulled it out to paint it before I took pics so more on that later. I cut away all but the basics of the old stock battery cage and welded a couple of hooks that go under the rear motor mount. It all fits under the pods and keeps the rear triangle clear so that's a win. I was close to doing a swingarm mount but the look and the potential abuse of unpaved back roads convinced me otherwise. When I make an airbox I will probably have to change this setup but this will get me on the road.
Exhaust wrap installed. Just have to mount them back up. The rear exhaust brackets and the passenger pegs got paint last night so I had to wait.
Mounted the crash bars. They took some massaging with a 2lb hammer to get them to line up. I still need 2 more bolts to tie into the front motor mounts. The ones used in the motor swap were too short to make the stretch.
So what's left?
Install the pipes
Intall carbs with clamps
Install coils and plug wires
Install harness and secure
Install guage and solder dash light connections
Intall battery box and battery
Start bike and sync carbs
Install two final bolts for crash bars
Satin paint and pinstripe on tank
Install tank
Install seat
Mount license plate
Sounds like a nice Friday evening!!! Before a long weekend.

Audi Illustrations for Peak Climb: Automotive & Graphic Design
Audi Illustrations for Peak Climb: Automotive & Graphic Design
Davvi, who specializes in infographic design, created these illustrations for Popular Science Magazine (May 2010), for the Audi TTS coupe research project. The autonomous Audi, Shelley, will drive itself up the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in Colorado.
I like the technical aspect of both parts of the image and how he combined the rendering of the mountain with the photographic illustration of the vehicle. You can read more about the process at Davvi's portfolio page.
Shelley will climb 4,721 feet up the mountain on paved and gravel roads. No other autonomous vehicle has attempted the high-speed, 12.4-mile course with 156 turns. See the video about the process of preparing Shelley for the road (complete with a large-scale Audi logo drifted in the snow). ↓

Latkes, presents, dreidels, jelly doughnuts. But what would Chanukah be without the menorah? A lot has to do with history, symbolism and a miracle.
Back in the days when the Israelites were wanderers in the wilderness on the way to the Promised Land, God commanded Bezalel to design a candelabrum or lampstand (Exodus 25: 31) to be placed in the Tabernacle (the Israelites' portable sanctuary) to serve as a visible symbol of God's presence.
Later in history, when the Israelites reached the Promised Land and established Jerusalem for their capital and holy city, the menorah proudly stood in the first Temple. It was made of pure gold, with seven branches or arms, and ten such items were found in the Temple.
Each night the Priests would fill the cups at the ends of the arms with specially prepared fine, beaten olive oil. In the morning, they would trim the wicks and add fresh oil, thus producing an "eternal light," that is, one that would never be extinguished.
This practice continued into the days of the second Temple, when one menorah graced the Temple, along with a few copies. It was one of those copies that was taken by the Romans with the conquest of Judea and is depicted on the Arch of Titus in Rome. It was at this point in history that the menorah disappeared, with theories ranging from priests hiding the precious object beneath the Temple Mount to Crusaders bringing it to Byzantium.
While the actual menorah may be lost in history, its symbolism is kept alive today in the joyous festival of Chanukah. According to legend, after the Maccabees made their triumphal entry into Jerusalem after defeating the Syrian Greeks in 165 B.C.E, they needed to rededicate the Holy Temple, which had been defiled with pagan sacrifice.
As the story goes, the soldiers found only one small cruse of ritually pure oil in which to kindle the menorah, the Eternal Light of Israel's faith. When the menorah was kindled, it miraculously burned for eight days until more pure olive oil could be procured.
While this makes for a beautiful story, historically it most likely never happened in quite this manner. Most historians believe that the small reference to the Chanukah miracle found in the Talmud was added by the rabbis, who did not want to glorify a military victory, even though it saved Judaism from extinction. The most likely explanation for the eight-day celebration of Chanukah came from the fact that because of the fighting for religious freedom, the Jewish soldiers had been unable to observe the eight-day harvest festival of Sukkot. By making Chanukah an eight-day feast, they could also make up for time lost and keep Sukkot in spirit.
Today, the candleholders we use for the Chanukah festival are called chanukiyot (singular, chanukiyah).
Unlike the original menorah, this candleholder has eight cup holders plus another one slightly above the others for the shammas or servant candle. This is a special ritual so that the lights of the chanukiyah are not diminished or used for illumination but rather to "publish the miracle," i.e., to promote the symbolism of the holiday of religious freedom and the light of goodness and peace. As the candles are added each evening, the beautiful candles of the chanukiyah fill each Jewish home with their special, holy glow.
There are those who maintain that the menorah is a symbol of Israel's mission to be a "light unto the nations." (Isaiah 42:6) This mission was not to be obtained by force, but by setting a moral and ethical example to the world. This vision is highlighted in a vision by the prophet Zechariah in chapter 4:1-6. In this prophecy, Zechariah sees a vision of the menorah and God tells him: "Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit." It is the very passage read in synagogues today during the Sabbath of Chanukah.
Every Jewish home has at least one chanukiyah. They may be made be of silver, brass, ceramic, clay or other materials. They may be heirlooms, recent acquisitions or those received as gifts. Themes can be traditional, modern or even whimsical, as the special Mickey Mouse and Friends one recently gifted to me by friends. To be kosher, they all must have eight cup holders and one extra for the shammas.
For those of you who like things big, check out the huge chanukiyah erected each year in the southeast corner of Central Park in New York City. On each of the nights of Chanukah, a cherry picker lights each of the candles in this 32-foot high, 4,000-pound chanukiyah.
May the light and warmth of the Chanukah lights fill every home with peace and love. Happy Chanukah.
Chanukah begins tonight at sundown.

Articles and Posts about Living Gluten-Free
… For that and many other reasons, people who are gluten intolerant often don't realize how serious their condition really is…
… They think that because they only get a slight headache or have mild digestive upsets or have some other minor reaction after they eat or drink something with gluten in it that their disease isn't all that serious.
But, almost nothing could be further from the truth!
Find out WHY!
I like an easy chicken dinner that cooks the vegetables right in the skillet with the chicken.
Since the chicken in this recipe is boneless it cooks very quickly, and the flavors of chicken, aromatic garlic and onion, carrots and spinach mingle in the pan to make a flavorful sauce that even my husband likes.
If you made the decision to begin living your life gluten-free, it may have been because you were diagnosed with celiac disease or a wheat allergy.
Or, maybe you did it, just because you want to experience the benefits that people, like yourself, have found they get from totally cutting wheat and other gluten producing grains out of their diets.
They've gone gluten free and are experiencing tremendous reported benefits because they have done just that!
It's really not easy to do, but, magazines and news reports in the last year or two have been full of stories about the very positive benefits individuals like you and me have had because they made a quality-of-life decision to go gluten-free.

This is the route of what we were doing on this trip. I won't bore you with a lot of writing.
Just a few comments and Pics. We did approx 8,000 Miles in 14 days.
2 days to Colorado so no real pics. Next day is Mtn Evans at close to 15,000 feet.
The Highest paved road in North America.
This is a small ways up the Mtn
Just having some fun.
Mtn Evans Parking lot
Took us forever to climb up here to the very top.
Always have to have a Girl's pic
When you come out of Mtn Evans and go further down the road - there is a couple of Nasty @$$ roads
and are fabulous to ride. We Zigzaged all the way down to Pikes Peak. We entered the road up and
saw this first. We had to stop and ask the Main man if a new bike was in my future.
This is at 10,000 feet.
From this point we left Pikes Peak and headed to the middle of Colorado and went through
Aspen and the Independence Pass. These roads were just a zigzag almost all the way.
We don't have many pics in Aspen as we did a lot of video. Same with most other
places we did.
From this point we zigzaged to very close to Grand Junction and the National Monument.
Had to hit Hwy for about 40 miles.
At this point we had to hit Hwy for 70 miles to a small Twisty road that takes you
into Moab and the Arches
From here we headed to Hwy and did 100 mile ride to some twisty road and headed
down Bryson Canyon. We were on a lot of Fabulous roads and road Caynon roads
for 2 days. Scenery was Spectacular.
We stopped here for something and it was a very old info place and very cool inside.
In this part of the country - everything is wide open and we found this little guy
in the ditch by himself.
We came around one corner and was a bunch of these all over the road.
was 2 guys trying to get them off the road.
Some of the Caynon Roads and the first one is Nasty. 2 S turns with no room at the
side of the road for mistakes. If you go off road then it is a 5 or 6000 foot drop.
From here we are heading into Bryson Caynon
From this point we Zigzaged over to Zion.So far all the riding has been Fabulous.
Zion was so amazing.
A couple of Ladies from the South of France over enjoying their holiday. They
were heading to where we had just come from and we were heading to there last
spot. They were very friendly and we had to speak very slow for them to
understand us. They wanted their pic taken on bikes.
If you have never been to Zion - they have this tunnel that is very long
that you have to travel through and only 1 lane of traffic at a time.
Us just waiting to get through.
Just outside the other side of this tunnel we just went through.
After we left here
We started to head to the Grand Caynon
When we stopped for a late breakfast we ran into these guys with their wives.
They were on a tour in most places we visited. There was 12 cars in all and
were Pre 1930's. All orginal. I talked to this one below. Very cool cars.
And now the Big One
I have never been to the Grand Caynon but my bud has. While riding
in this is the first thing I saw. Had to just stand and take it
all in.
This seemed so out of place as we walked around.
A little closer to the edge and it was one long Drop
From here it was out to San Diego for a few days rest.
A few rain small rain Storms.
San Diego Beach Area. 3/4's of the women had surf boards.
Now someone decided to go for a swim & it wasn't me. LOL
Temps were above 95F. Way to hot for me.
Now comes our Iron @$$ Ride from the beach in San Diego to the
Beach in Jacksonville Florida. A coast to coast ride that has
to be done in 50 hours or less. Sorry no pics but I will make
it brief. (Just a note that I like weather no more then 75F to
80F otherwise I melt away)
Left San Diego beach at 6am and riding temp was 77f and got
through the mountains Ok. But when we hit the desert it shot
up to a riding temp of 95F within a minute. After some time
we were melting away. The stops were a bit longer to get some
cool off in store and lots of water in us.
When we got to Arizona and New Mexico and first part of Texas
it rained cats and dogs on us for just over 500 miles. This was
really draining us of energy. We stopped around noon the next
day at some rest stop and had a rest. Darek slept on his bike
(layed out ) and I just found a picnic table and put my head
and fell asleep. Hour and half later he wakes me up and says
I was snoring like crazy. Oh well. So we continued on with
very high temps in Texas and no more rain that god. We thought
we were never going to get across. Somewhere around 2 in the
morning we stopped for gas in Pensacola in the middle of no
where and just 2 cars way down the road from us. We pulled out
past the stop sign and all of a sudden I see all these blinking
lights. Oh ^^$^$^$^^ - The officer says to me ( bud is 100 feet
up in front of me ) You guys don't like stop signs. I said that I
almost stopped and rolled through very slowly. Asks for Lic and
show him. He says on vacation - yup - Ok I am not going to ticket
you but u are in the system now. He and his buddies walk away and
we continue on. Close call. My buddy gets away with out even a
talking to. We hit the beach in Jacksonville FL around 8 or 9 in
the morning. The last few miles we were so wiped out we almost
don't remember the roads we took. Thank god it was over.
So coast to coast is done and the 2000 in 48 got covered on
this ride. It took us 46 hours and a few mins.
Spent almost the next 24 hours sleeping. Next day headed
to one of our favourite spots - the Smoky Mountain area.
We wanted to check out a new road in the area.
I have video below with a small clip of what it is like.
It is more technical then the dragon. It is 11 miles and the
last mile is hard graveland stone. (only bad part of the road )
Take a look at how many cars and Motorcycles use this road.
What a treat.
I have to thank my riding partner as he keeps things light. When we
hit all that rain he Kept me going and laughing through it all.
We have traveled many thousands of miles together on different
trips and just enjoy each others company and riding together.
So when is the next big Adventure???????
Thanks buddy.

To be perfectly honest, the best part of this play wasn't even the diving tip in. Yes, it was an impressive play by Minnesota forward Erik Haula, but I was more impressed by the backhand saucer pass made by Christian Isackson. To do that at full speed and put it in a perfect spot for your teammate is nothing short of impressive.Thankfully Haula was not hurt even though he appeared shaken up with the check he endured at the end of the play. Haula ended up finishing with three points on the night, as the #2 Gophers fell to Minnesota State 5-3.Via: @cjzero

Chevrolet Bison
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chevrolet Bison (and similar GMC General) were heavy-duty Class 8 trucks made by General Motors between 1977 and 1988. The Bison & General were both conventional rigs. Diesel engine choices included Caterpillar, Cummins and Detroit Diesel powerplants. Available transmissions were Allison Transmission, spicer and eaton transmissions
The Chevrolet Bison was introduced in 1976, eventually replacing the heavy duty Series 70, 80, and 90 trucks. The GMC General was released simultaneously and eventually replaced the GMC HM-Series and JH-Series heavy-duty trucks. The Bison was available from 1977-1980.[1] Chevrolet exited the Heavy Duty Class 8 Truck Market in 1980. GMC continued to build the General until 1988.

Mitch Petrus
Arkansas Senior
PROS: A good short area player that initiates contact and locks on in pass protection. Plays low with good base and leverage and hard to bull rush. Gets into his stance quickly. Shows nice mobility and can pull. Shows ability to hit assignments, and has potential as a cut blocker.
CONS: Doesn't have the strength to push the pile or drive defender off the ball. Struggles to adjust to stunts. Lacks ideal quickness and needs to improve his footwork.
OVERVIEW: Plays guard at Arkansas where he lines up on the strong side, which could be the left or right side depending on the play. Sat out last year with a toe injury. As a sophomore he played fullback, and also got work at tight end as a freshman.
NFL FORECAST: Petrus can play either side of the line, and I also think he might project best at center. He has short arms and works well in a short area, which tends to benefit centers more because they aren't asked to block on islands against quick, strong, athletic defensive tackles as much as guards. I think he can be a capable guard, but I'm not sure his playing style allows him to be a top player. But if he can take to playing the center position, and again his playing style indicates he can, then he has greater upside there because he has more size and strength to potentially match up with nose tackles. But at the very least he shoudl be able fill in as a solid backup that can play all three interior positions.
ATL FORECAST: Petrus best shot in Atlanta would probably be at center, since he could be a more physical alternative to McClure. He could also fill depth as a guard initially and sit for a few years learning the center position. He could be a fixture at the pivot for years to come and would give the Falcons a guy that is strong enough to stand up against 3-4 nose tackles.
VALUE: He's worth a fourth round pick mainly because of his potential to play center. Purely as a guard, he would probably only be worth a fifth round pick.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite

Magnificent Gem Proof 1902 Liberty Eagle1902 $10 PR65 PCGS. This century-old proof issue is one of the most available of the Liberty Ten Dollar type. That said, however, there are probably fewer than 40 specimens extant out of an original mintage of 113 proofs. Consistent with production procedures of the era, this glittering Gem offers little in the way of contrast between the fields and the devices, but this is easily offset by rich golden color and nearly flawless, deeply mirrored surfaces.

Pocket Essentials is a dynamic series of books that are concise, lively, and easy to read. Packed with facts as well as expert opinions, each book has all the key information you need to know about such popular topics as film, television, cult fiction, history, and more. It sounds daunting: all those -isms, long technical words, weird French thinkers, and incomprehensible Germans. Most books providing introductions to "Literary Theory" are long-winded tomes, guiding dogged readers through the twists and turns of critical analysis and logic. This small volume goes to the heart of the key concepts of Literary Theory, explaining them in clear everyday language. It provides witty and memorable comments and quotations, and enables the student of literature to raise the most pertinent and challenging questions, which even university professors have difficulty answering.

Review By Ed Piotrowski - July 4, 2004
A little developer called Crytek dropped a bomb on the PC gaming world through the release of its first title - Far Cry. It wasn't so much the plot or gameplay that caused a stir but rather its graphics engine, which makes heavy use of programmable shaders and ragdoll physics. Gamers with high-end systems could rejoice because there finally existed a game that could take full advantage of their hardware. My old Athlon XP/Radeon 9800 Pro machine could run the game adequately at 1024x768 resolution with medium-high details. I enjoyed Far Cry thoroughly, but there's no such thing as too much visual goodness and that's where the GeForce 6800 comes in handy.
Far Cry is another game that will support NVIDIA's Shader Model 3.0. Support for this feature will come via a 1.2 patch. This patch has been available for review sites to test and thus is what I used to benchmark. I also used a special version of the Forceware 61.45 drivers that have SM 3.0 support, and Build 2149 of Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 has the last required component - DirectX 9.0c. For testing, I again used 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 resolutions and all in-game detail settings were set to their maximum via the Far Cry configuration control panel. FSAA and anisotropic filtering were set through the game as well. 4x AA corresponds to 'Medium' and anisotropic filtering goes up to 4x Trilinear (which is what I used).
The first chart here shows performance without Shader Model 3.0. As I didn't receive access to the 1.2 patch until the 11th hour, I only had time to run benchmarks on the Research level.
Not too shabby if you ask me. Far Cry's pace is similar to that of Halo so blistering high frame rates aren't exactly required here. Being able to maximize every graphical option in this game and still see playable scores in this game is a testament to the goodness of the 6800 GT. These are numbers I couldn't have dreamed about with my 9800 Pro.
Now for the SM 3.0 results.
There is improvement across the board here, but it's not very dramatic, less than 1 percent in some cases. This is likely due to a combination of things, including CPU and GPU limitation. The lower clock speed of the GT when compared to the 6800 Ultra and my 'lowly' 3 GHz CPU are probably starving this game from really showing off its capability with Shader Model 3.0. Overclocking the GPU does help, as you will see in the section below and I'm sure the 3.4 GHz CPU I'll be receiving will provide further benefits.
This is probably the most tedious, yet at the same time fun, part of video card testing. Power users are always looking for ways to extra the most performance out of their equipment. I'm no exception when it comes to video cards. Now I personally have never had good luck when it comes to overclocking video cards, and I was hoping the 6800 GT would bring a change of luck.
As stated earlier, stock clock speeds for this 6800 GT are 370 MHz on the core and 1000 MHz (effective) on the memory. From reports on our forums, it seems that about 80 to 90 percent of people who have 6800 GT cards (regardless of brand) are able to overclock theirs to at least 400 core and 1100 memory, which is the reference stock speed of the 6800 Ultra. The 431/1120 speed you see here is even beyond my expectation. This speed is higher than the 425/1100 speed that comes standard on BFG's own 6800 Ultra OC.
I do have to put one caveat on this, however. All the games I tested for overclocking except Far Cry had no problems handling 431/1120. During an impromptu run on the Carrier level, I noticed some graphical corruption. Lowering the core clock to 424 MHz saw all issues disappear. So for the Far Cry chart, the overclocking results were taken at 424/1120 while the others were taken at 431/1120. Lowering the core clock speed for Far Cry on the Carrier level is exactly the same thing Clay Angelly had to do in his BFG 6800 Ultra OC review.
These are the most GPU-intensive tests I performed in these games. The results are pretty good here, with a 12 percent jump in Enemy Territory and a 13 percent increase in Far Cry. The latter's increase is most impressive because the added boost in clock speed helps keep the 6800 GT in the "smooth zone" (greater than 30 fps) more effectively at this high resolution.
This CPU is really holding UT 2004 back on the performance level as overclocking the graphics card yields a 0.5 percent boost. Halo, which tends to be more GPU limited, sees an impressive increase of 24 percent. As the GeForce 6800 series drivers will get better from here, owners should realize some further performance benefits regardless of whether they overclock or not.

Weather, Misjudgment Led To Crash In South Dakota
The North Carolina Air National Guard released the results of an investigation into the July plane crash that killed four members of a Charlotte-based crew. They were fighting wildfires in South Dakota at the time of the accident.
The report from the Accident Investigation Board says the crew misjudged weather conditions and got caught in a violent burst of air that slammed their plane into the ground.
Brigadier General Randall Guthrie was the lead investigator into the crash. He says the airmen had just dropped their first batch of flame retardant and were ordered to pass over the fire a second time. But Guthrie says they shouldn't have.
"If you add all of the pieces up, with all of the meteorological conditions," Guthrie says. "The operational conditions that were going on there, they should not have gone ahead with that second drop."
The report also blames miscommunication between multiple crews fighting the fire.
But Guthrie's investigation also found the pilot of the crashed plane made a critical decision that saved two of his crew members.
"It's a testament to the aviation skills of the guys in the front and the way that they landed the airplane or crashed the airplane that made the difference whether or not the guys in the back survived," he says.
Of the six people on the airplane, four died and two escaped with serious injuries. The four airmen are Senior Master Sgt. Robert Cannon, 50, of Charlotte, Lt. Col. Paul Mikeal, 42, of Mooresville, Major Joseph McCormick, 36, of Belmont and Major Ryan David, 35, of Boone. The names of the injured have not been officially released.

And really, what matters in this race, George, as everybody knows, is how we're going to get the greatest country on earth back to work and out of debt. And you look at Mitt Romney's record on reducing unemployment in Massachusetts. President Obama has increased it. Getting a budget balanced. The president can't even get a budget passed. And the downgrading of the U.S. credit rating under President Obama's watch. The credit rating of Massachusetts went up.
So on the things that really matter to voters, George, I think the records are stark, and I think that's why independent voters have a ten-point margin in favor of Mitt Romney right now.
STEPHANOPOULOS: I want to get Mayor Villaraigosa to respond, but first you said something, you said he was wrong on the Republican platform. And I'm not sure how he is wrong. Let's put up the platform right now. It talks about asserting the sanctity of human life, affirming that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution, endorse legislation to make clear that the 14th Amendment's protections apply to unborn children. There is no exception there in the abortion plank for rape. Even though I know that's Governor's Romney's position, did he try to include that in the platform, and why are there no exceptions in the platform?
MCDONNELL: George, you're just reading it wrong. That's been there for 30 years. There are multiple human life amendments that were introduced 20, 30 years ago. Some of them had exceptions, some of them didn't.
The real point is, we are affirming that we're a pro-life party. The details certainly are left to Congress and ultimately to the states and the people on how they ratify such an amendment, or more importantly, what they do at the state level.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So is the party my for a rape exception or not?
MCDONNELL: The party didn't make any judgment on that. It's a general proposition to say we support human life. The rest of those details are up to the states and the people respectively, George, and that's simply not covered. It's something up to Congress and the states. We have laws in Virginia that have some of those exceptions. But at this point, with the U.S. Supreme Court having its say, these are not issues that are even -- even material at this point. Because, the issues are whether or not we have, like a ban on partial birth abortion. The president opposes that. Mitt Romney supports it. It's whether we have a born alive act. The president is opposed to that. Mitt Romney supports it.
So those are the issues, the policy issues, George, at this point that are really relevant. And honestly, here is the last thing. This is one more attempt by the Obama administration to take the focus off jobs, the economy, taxes, spending, debt and energy. That's what the people of America care about.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Lot to respond to, Mayor. Take a crack.
VILLARAIGOSA: First of all, let me say that our hearts and prayers are with the people of Tampa and Florida, and the delegates at the convention, and we hope that the storm isn't going to be as difficult as it looks right now.

The high poles made by Wonder Pole® are constructed using a closely guarded method of fiberglass and materials specific to the Wonder Pole.® for superior strength, and to eliminate cracking. Ordinary fiberglass high poles can develop cracks that continue to split upward until the entire pole fails. Just like a crack in the windshield keeps enlarging until it is through the entire glass.
We use high strength fiberglass roving, wind the tube using a special process adding additional fiberglass strands. Using or exclusive method it adds tremendous strength, (excess of 75,000 psi) and prevents linear splitting commonly associated with other fiberglass poles. UV inhibitors are added to prevent degradation of the high pole when exposed to the elements.
Wonder Pole® fiberglass flagpoles are the only fiberglass pole to our knowledge that has a fire retardant value of "self extinguishing".
Each section of the high pole is wrapped with two layers of the highest quality veil which prevents fiber bloom (slivers in your hand), and preserves the integrity of the outer and inner surface of the Wonder Pole®. The pole has nesting sections that fit inside of each other, and draw out to any desired height. Each section has our exclusive "stop markers" to prevent extending the pole too far. The sections are secured into place by turning the Sure Lock Grips™ that are factory molded onto the pole.
We do not use glue or rivets, which come loose, to keep the handles or fittings on the pole. The Wonder Pole® is non conductive, and does not have any of the electrical hazards commonly associated with metal poles. You can replace any part of the pole or add to the Wonder Pole® at any time. Add to this the low weight, superior strength, available accessories, styles, models, and colors available, and you have the best telescopic pole in the world today.
Every High Pole for escort vehicle work is constructed with care and fitted at our company location. the transitional collars for the high pole are constructed of a special blend of mailable heavy duty commercial grade plastic that is pressured fitted to the fiberglass high poles.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - A deputy Lexington County coroner has been charged with driving under the influence and open container.
West Columbia police tell local media outlets they got a call Tuesday afternoon about a driver being asleep at the wheel.
Police say they found Deputy Coroner Barry Wright sleeping in a county-owned SUV in the middle of a road. An officer woke up Wright and saw a cold, open beer in the cup holder.
Officers say Wright stumbled, slurred his words and declined field sobriety tests. He told officers any beers found in his car shouldn't be thrown away because they were "from a death scene." But authorities also found two receipts for beer purchased that day.
Records show Wright has been released from jail and list no attorney for him.

Gear Review
Robust, light, comfortable, need look no further
Excellent kit, especially when combined with the TuneUps II! (combine with a cable splitter and you can use your walkie-talkies and listen to music from your MP3 player all at the same time!) The closable air vents on the helmet are useful for when the weather gets nasty! I had a spectacular high speed fall (all of my own doing!) and the helmet stayed in place and did its job admirably! The helmet is so light and warm that it's better than any hat.

How to get Involved in Research and Science Outside of the Classroom
How to get Involved in Research and Science Outside of the Classroom
HCEP (Health Center Explorations Program) is a two-semester volunteer/shadowing program that is run through the Career Center. This is a great way for students to get involved in science and medicine outside of the classroom and laboratory.
The program is composed of two semesters (either component can be extended for a longer period of time). The first semester (40 hours) introduces students to Duke Hospital and the patient side of healthcare by volunteering. Students talk to patients, hear their stories while getting to know staff in the unit to which they are assigned. The second semester (40 hours) is shadowing a physician. Students shadow a physician at Duke Hospital and have the opportunity to learn a plethora of information as well as gaining experience interacting with physicians and patients.
The volunteering semester must come before the shadowing semester. For more information, please contact Tori Young in Volunteer Services at Duke Hospital and Jennifer Philips (email@example.com )in
the Career Center who runs
both programs. The forms for training
sessions and sign-up information can be
found on the Career Center site:
Research: How to find a lab, where to look, interviews, general information.
Volunteer Programs and How to get involved through HCEP in the career advising center
Research is an exciting opportunity for students to get involved in at Duke.
Students at Duke can choose from a plethora of different laboratories. Between
the biological sciences building, the IGSP, and Duke Medical Center, there are
a ton of different kinds of research opportunities for students to work in a
lab as an RA or work study job and conduct an Independent Study.
Students often get the most out of their research experience if they enjoy the
laboratory that they work in. So, be proactive, find a laboratory that is
conducting research that is of interest to YOU. There is no point working in a
laboratory, spending lots of time reading literature and conducting experiments
if you are not interested in the research and are not happy in your lab. That
being said, once you commit to a laboratory, you should try it out for at least
3 months. Once you figure out that it is not for you, it IS OKAY to switch
How to find a laboratory:
There are a multitude of ways to get involved in research at Duke. The Biology
department website offers a host of research laboratories that you can browse. In
addition, feel free to go to the IGSP website and the Duke Med Center website
and contact different laboratories to see if they are interested in having an
undergraduate conduct an Independent Study/ Work study etc. in their laboratory.
It is up to you, but it is strongly suggested that if the lab of interest is on campus (IGSP
or Bio Sci), it is okay to pop in and visit them to express interest working in
their laboratory. If you choose to go about this route, be prepared to sit for
an interview on the spot (in other words, don't do a run-by visit if you have a
class in 20 minutes, they will not appreciate that you will have to cut them
off). When you stop by, ask them if this would be a good time for them. If they
say yes, introduce yourself, have a copy of your resume prepared to hand them
and tell them why you are interested in their laboratory. Make sure you have
done your homework (have read at least 2 of their papers) and come prepared
with general questions about their work as well as questions pertaining to
protocols concerning students working in their labs (do they currently have
undergraduates working in their lab?). Lastly, DRESS APPROPRIATELY. Abstain
from jeans, sneakers, and skimpy tops.
If you choose to contact a lab via e-mail, send them an e-mail expressing your
interest in their laboratory and how you found out about it. Then express
interest in setting up a time to discuss your interest so you can get "face
time" with them.
Do not commit until you are sure that you can make the commitment. It is okay to
tell them that you will send a "follow up" e-mail and go from there. It is also
okay to interview with 2-3 laboratories. You may find that the research that a
particular laboratory is working on is very intriguing, but the people or the
expectations do not meet you personality/ work ethic. Find a laboratory that is conducting research that is interesting to you!
Be upfront with your lab re: how many hours a week you can work and set out
expectations from the start. Ask them if they would like to have a meeting with
you every other week or so and inquire as to with whom you will be working with/for,
who you can go to if you have questions, if you can work late at night in their
lab with no supervision, what you do in case of emergency, etc.
Most students conduct Independent Studies throughout the year along with
courses, but a lot of students also do research or get started in research in
the summer. The Biology website offers information on some of these
opportunities. Fellowships and Summer Research:

Actor Boman Irani was due to shoot with Farooq Shaikh for an upcoming film in Indore Saturday. But the news of the latter's sudden death left Boman "shocked, numbed and saddened".
Farooque was in Dubai for a family vacation when a cardiac arrest took his life late Friday night.
He was working with Boman for the film "Youngistan".
"Shot with him last month. Had the warmest conversation and were to meet here in Indore today. Was to join us from Dubai. Alvida Farooque saab (Goodbye Farooque Sheikh)," Boman tweeted Saturday.
"Shocked, numbed and saddened. Was supposed to be shooting with him today. A gentleman actor is no more," he added.
"Youngistan" features actor Jackky Bhagnani in the lead role. It was hard for the young actor also to come to terms with the tragic news of the death of Farooque, a father-figure to him.
"I am in shock to hear about Farooque sir's death...I am still in denial. Please tell me this is not true," Jackky posted on Twitter.
"Thank you for being like a father to me and teaching me so much through this film. Your teachings will always stay with me," he added.
Directed by debutant Syed Afzal Ahmad, "Youngistan" also features Neha Sharma and Kayoze Irani.
