Part 2: Me, a blonde, 2 Ducati's....4,000 miles (and then some)
The other day I was talking with a friend of mine, talking about how I have found that I am most content when I have something to look forward to. That's something I always seem to NEED. I need something to prepare for. Think about it. We've all been there. For me, it seems to always be the trips we take. That's what keeps me going, so to speak.
The current plan is the follow-up to last years trip which took us from here in the SF Bay Area to Victoria, Canada and back via Eastern Washinton, Idaho and Oregon. THIS time though, we have more time. For the previous trip we had 15 days. This time it looks like we'll have almost 20. Also, last trip Stephanie was on her Ducati Monster 696. This time, she'll be on her new Ducati Streetfighter 848:
Some of you may have followed along on that trip. At the end of it I mentioned how we were going to look into getting a truck that we could haul the bikes with, letting us get out bit further, allowing us to start a loop that would otherwise take an extra few days just in transit time (on the bikes). On the bikes, you could be looking at an extra 3-4 days depending on the starting point (round trip). Sure you can do it in a hurry, but the point of the trip is to have a good time, not suffer on a long slab of highway. I'd rather spend the time riding than commuting. With the truck we'll be able to load up and drive through the day (and perhaps night) to get to the starting point. In the case of this trip, we'll drive the +/- 700 miles it'll take to get to Southern Utah and start from there.
We fullfilled this "need" recently when we got a Ford Raptor (I know it's a bit more than what we would need just to haul the bikes, but we plan on having other non-motorcycle related fun with it too).
With our dirt-bikes:
There will be more to come. For now though, below is the basic route we are planning to take through Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah. Thanks to all that have already answered my questions and given their input as to any specific roads or destinations we shouldn't miss. If you have any ideas on what you'd add or leave out, please feel free to post and give your input.
More to come.... :thumb
Click HERE for route
I'm in :lurk
Enjoyed your last RR this looks even better.
I just have one request - please don't show any pics of the bikes or Steph b/c they just detract from your writing:rofl
Well said, the preparation and the planing of the trip is half the fun.
Or the first third. Or.......
:lurk ......:jkam .......:bubba........ :getiton
I in as well. Really enjoyed your last ride report and look forward to this one as well.
Subscribing! Can't wait dude :clap
Kiva Koffee House on Highway 12
If you can, plan to stop at the Kiva Koffee House on highway 12. It is about 20 miles east of Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. It is a "must see" if highway 12 is on your route. It is easy to miss because it is in the middle of nowhere, but that particular "nowhere" is spectacular. Here is the link:
I believe they are closed on Tuesdays, so plan accordingly. They also have two cottages where you can spend the night. I would put it on your route and then ride all of highway 12 because you won't regret it.
Monument Valley, east of the Grand Canyon, is also great if you have the time.
The "Going To The Sun Road" in Glacier National Park in Montana is the most majestic National Park I have been to yet. This road typically doesn't open until July because they get 70 feet of snow on that road and it takes a while to clear. It is also sometimes closed in September because of construction so call ahead and make sure it is open if you plan to ride it.
I got caught in a 3 day snow storm in Jackson, Wy in June the first time I tried to get there so check the weather on your destinations and adjust as needed.
Your loop looks great.
Here is a link to a ride report I wrote when I finally made it to the going to the sun road after two other failed attempts:
Another report on riding into Yellowstone National Park and riding Bear Tooth Pass. Here is the link:
Not trying to hijack your thread but hope the information will serve as a resource for you in planning.
Nice Route
Looks like a great ride! Subscribed. :lurk
I'm in!
Love hearing about this part of the world, cause I would love to take my time and tour whenever A) I have money, B) I have time.
Of course, winning the lottery would fix A and B :)
Continue on! Can't wait to read your adventures, and see the beautiful sights!
Love your ride reports. Really looking forward to this one. Like I said in your other thread, make sure you do Beartooth Pass out of the northeastern exit of Yellowstone. I really think you'll enjoy it.

Huckleberry Hot springs
It's a natural hot springs 30 minutes off the beaten path. Just north of Jackson Hole, by Flagg Ranch, just before you enter Yellow Stone. Used to be a "locals spot". Last time I was there I only saw wildlife...no people. You can ask locals for help getting there, or some dude wrote about how to get there here: http://unofficialnetworks.com/huckle...-springs-5876/
"Looking Forward" to this RR
Glad to see this, I just read your last RR a few weeks ago. Very Good!
I just got home from 13 days up ID,MT.BC,WA,OR,CA,NV thinking about doing RR on it.
When are you leaving?
I live just north of St. George if you need parking for your truck or let me buy you dinner, etc.
Good route, A couple things to consider, instead of taking 20 to I15, stay on 89 thru Panguitch, UT then make that whole loop 143/148 (Beautiful) then drop into Cedar City, UT on 14.
Also south of Spanish Fork, UT I would go east and come down 6/89 and hit 31 and 96 Very fun roads. If time permits. I try to avoid freeways. Just some thoughts for you to mull over.
A big thanks for all the tips. This is all great info. I'm sure I'll pick up a thing or two from your RR as well. And thanks a lot for the tip on the Kiva Koffee House. We will definitely make a stop there. It's pretty close to where our starting point will be so, considering the fact that we'll likely get in really late the night before and will likely get a late start the next day, this may just be a cool place to spend the first night.

No Laughing Matter
Catalan based TV3 apologizes for the video depicting Real Madrid players as hyenas.
beIN SPORT News Services
Catalan broadcaster TV3 apologized for having produced a clip depicting Real Madrid players as hyenas preparing to hunt down FC Barcelona star, Lionel Messi.
The video features the likes of Pepe, Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso, Sergio Ramos and Fábio Coentrão in a series of heavy fouls committed against the argentine. The Catalan TV channel's controversial clip led to a storm of criticism and they have now acknowledged that they were wrong to produce the film.
Madrid midfielder Luka Modric was one of many to voice his dismay with the film at a press conference on Friday, labeling the video "unacceptable", and TV3 has now opted to apologize for producing the clip saying that "we were wrong," as stated by TV3 presenter, Xavi Valls.
A number of reports have suggested that Real Madrid could take legal action against TV3, but the Santiago Bernabeu side have not released an official statement on the matter so far.

Friends of Lake Robinson
Mission Statement
The Mission of Friends of Lake Robinson is to serve the Lake Robinson Watershed through educational, conservational and scientific endeavors which include gathering, evaluating and disseminating information to preserve, protect and enhance the quality of the waters of Lake Robinson and its watershed as a primary source of drinking water and as a unique environmental, recreational, and economic resource. This will be accomplished through a collaborative process that involves local, state, and federal agencies and organizations
Friends of Lake Robinson is holding its fourth lake clean up
The clean up is a part of an international event sponsored by the Ocean Conservancy. The Ocean Conservancy encourages volunteer groups to clean up coastlines of lakes, rivers and oceans throughout the world during September. This is an opportunity to demonstrate peoples' concern about the quality of water in Lake Robinson and to do something about it.
The event will take place at Verne Smith Park on Saturday, September 15, 2012 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Verne Smith Park is located off Mays Bridge Road on Lake Robinson. Garbage bags will be provided. Interested volunteers should bring gloves and other tools to help in the clean up effort. Personnel with the Greer Commission of Public Works have identified the areas that they would like FLR to target. FLR will split the participants into three or four groups which will be sent to specific sites designated for clean up by the Greer Commission of Public Works.
Residents who live lakeside are encouraged to join the effort on September 15 by cleaning up the property between their yard and the lake.
Seventh Annual Day of Celebration to be held at Lake Robinson
Many activities are planned for the Friends of Lake Robinson Seventh Annual Day of Celebration to be held October 12 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunrift Adventures will provide kayaks and canoes for those interested in trying one out. The City of Greer Parks and Recreation Department will provide children's activities including a casting contest. Inflatables will be provided by the Friends of Lake Robinson. Lillian Hanley of the City of Greer Stormwater Division has organized a Stewardship Fair highlighting numerous organizations that will share ideas about protecting the lake and environs, enjoying the plant and animal life, and living in harmony with nature. This event is a great place to pick up community service ideas for high school students as well as find ideas for science projects and Scout projects. The Lake Cunningham Fire Department will provide a Fire Safety Trailer, fire prevention education and a demonstration on how to act if found in a fire situation. The S. C. Department of Natural Resources will have a virtual fishing simulator available to give people an opportunity to experience catching fish of different sizes. The Rotary Club of Greater Greer will provide hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and drinks throughout the afternoon for a nominal fee. Local musical talent, Locust Grove Blue Grass Band, will entertain the crowd from 3 to 5pm with Joe Beam and his band leading off the music from 1 to 3pm. Entries in the art competition will be on display.
The event is free to the public. All attendees are encouraged to bring their own blankets and chairs to sit and to enjoy the show. Any proceeds from the event will be devoted to paying for the events and activities to preserve Lake Robinson as well as support local high school scholarships.
The Friends of Lake Robinson, along with the Greer Commission of Public Works, Blue Ridge Rural Water Company, Addison Homes, Bank of Travelers Rest, Citizens Building and Loan, O'Neal Village (a development of TRG Communities) and Stillwaters at Lake Robinson, will hold the seventh annual Lake Robinson Day of Celebration on Sunday, October 12, 2014 at Verne Smith Park from 1 to 6pm. The park is located next to the Lake Robinson dam at 2544 Mays Bridge Road in Greer. The group has been planning the event since the summer with the help of numerous organizations

29 year old man | Bloomington, IN, USA | Seeking women 22-32 within 30 miles
it's gonna be legen...wait for it, wait for it...
I recently moved to Bloomington with some friends to work and explore new things. I've lived in Texas all my life, so I'm not really familiar with the area. I've always been one to try to find the humor in everything. I tend to take every opportunity to act like a kid, and am usually up for anything fun. Of course, anything can be fun with the right person, and I'm hoping to meet a like-minded girl to spend time and have fun with. I'm very close to my family and am loyal to those loyal to me. My degree in Psychology puts me in a position to make a positive difference in the lives of others, and I eventually want to go to grad school for Counseling. I love being able to help other people in whatever way I can. Honesty and trustworthiness are very important to me. So a girl who is always herself, and appreciates who I am is very attractive to me. I'm most attracted to girls who are sincere, honest and smart. It's great to go out, have fun and explore, but you gotta be able to keep it low-key too. I'm definitely interested in someone that doesn't have to take things so seriously. Since I won't know you're interested until I hear from you, go ahead and message me and we'll see where it goes. By the way, if you can finish the quote from my headline, you are awesome.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
Right now I don't have any pets, but love dogs and can definitely see at least one in my future
Middle of the Road
Road trips are always cool and while I haven't had a lot of opportunity to explore, a marching activity took me to nearly every state in the US. I've never been able to travel outside the country, but I'd love to go to Germany or Australia.
University of North Texas, Denton, TX
Music: favorites are ska, rock, or classical TV shows: Dexter, Breaking Bad, How I Met Your Mother Movies: most things funny or thought provoking; Dumb and Dumber and Shawshank Redemption are favorites of mine Also, I love watching college football
At any time you might find me bowling, playing pool, or watching football with friends. I am pretty low-key and like to check out the area and find fun things to do. Without knowing Indiana very well, I'll have a lot to discover.
The last book I finished was "Ender's Game." It's a great sci-fi read and my nephew is named after the main character. Other times I enjoy reading psychology or philosophy, and enjoy the works of Chuck Palahniuk and Kurt Vonnegut.

Abbas calls Hamas leader for first time in months
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas' exiled leader Khaled Mashaal spoke to each other for the first time in months Thursday in what sources said was a sign that they are close to forming a unity government.
Abbas cut off contact with Mashaal last spring after the Hamas leader criticized Abbas in a speech.
According to the AP, Abbas called Mashaal, who is in Damascus, at the urging of advisers who realized that progress couldn't be made without dealing with the Hamas leader, officials said. "The phone call reflects the positive spirit prevailing in Gaza in an attempt to reach formation of a new unity government," said Nabil Abu Rdeneh, a top presidential aide. "We hope to be able to realize progress very fast."

Rapoport lists the Eagles, 49ers, Buccaneers and Lions as interested team, but adds that the Eagles could be the one to watch out for. According to Rapoport, Philadelphia "likes him a ton," but have some concerns regarding his overall asking price. Rapoport even suggests that the Eagles could allow Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to walk and restructure Nnamdi Asomugha's contract. There have been several reports that have suggested that Smith could be targeting as much as $24 million in guaranteed cash in his next contract, but if the market is as deep as Rapoport suggests, he stands a chance of securing that kind of deal.

text: Click 3x, New York has designed and produced two new graphics only television spots for AT&T and Young & Rubicam. One spot, cut to the Roy Orbison classic You Got It, features lines of type traveling in graceful arcs across the frame. As the camera pulls back it becomes apparent that the viewer's perspective is from the inside of a transparent sphere and that the type is moving along its surface. Periodically, lines come into focus and announce AT&T long distance options. Ultimately the camera pulls out of the sphere to reveal it as part of the AT&T logo. We sought to create a design that would not merely communicate the message, it would also embody it," explained creative director Michael Wiehart. "That is how we arrived at the idea of having the type form the logo. In addition, the type animates to the rhythm of the song, which helps to tie all of the elements together. For us it made a design that communicates well and is artistically satisfying." In the second spot, Hotties, the audio track consists of two teenage girls engaged in a phone conversation about a "hot" guy. Again Wiehart's design employs animated type occasionally coming together to form phrases with a final pullback revealing the spinning type forming into the globe logo. From concept through delivery, Wiehart and his team of animators, editors and compositors had just a week to complete the two spots. "It was a short turnaround, but we still wanted to see how far we could push the envelope," Wiehart concluded. "And we are very pleased with what we achieved. We feel we came up with a unique language to support the story."

/> Burch said Koons and Barrett didn't do enough to get to the source of Kelsey's abuse and accepted claims from Smith that Kelsey's injuries were accidental. Child welfare workers relied on the physicians' reports to make decisions about Kelsey's care, Burch said.
Conflict of interest?The judge also threw out Briggs' claim that Kelsey suffered repeated abuse and neglect because Koons had a conflict of interest that prevented her from competent medical judgment. Koons' brother, Shawnee attorney Greg Wilson, represented Kelsey's mother in a custody battle with the child's paternal grandparents. Combs said there was no evidence Koons provided a different standard of care for Kelsey because of her brother. Burch disagrees. "It's our belief that Wilson referred Raye Dawn to his sister for a reason," Burch said. "It would have been reasonable and prudent under professional standards for Dr. Koons to refer Kelsey to another doctor."
Another lawsuitThis is the second civil lawsuit Briggs has filed over the death of his daughter. On May 18, 2006, he filed a lawsuit in Oklahoma County District Court alleging a systemwide failure to investigate who was abusing Kelsey. The case was moved to federal court in Oklahoma City.

Phelps suspended from competition
Updated: February 6, 2009, 12:29 PM ETAssociated Press
Michael Phelps' day grew lousier by the hour on Thursday.
First he lost a major sponsor, then he got suspended.
The Olympic great was suspended from competition for three months by USA Swimming, the latest fallout from a photo that showed him inhaling from a marijuana pipe.
The sport's national governing body also cut off its financial support to Phelps for the same three-month period, effective immediately.

Kentucky State Fair's prize country ham goes for $350,000
The blue-ribbon winning ham raised by Harper's Country Hams in Clinton raised $350,000 for the Fund for the Arts at the 50th-anniversary Kentucky Country Ham Breakfast and Auction on Thursday at the Kentucky State Fair.
The ham was purchased by the Yum! Foundation and is being donated to Dare to Care Food Bank.
Sponsored by Kentucky Farm Bureau, the breakfast and auction is one of the signature events of the Kentucky State Fair, and celebrates a tradition of showcasing superior-quality country hams.
Harper's blue-ribbon ham weighed 13 pounds, 3 ounces. It was the producer's seventh year winning the Grand Champion ribbon.
The annual breakfast fed a sellout crowd of 1,600 people with more than 5,400 eggs, 400 gallons of milk, 30 gallons of sorghum, 20 gallons of honey and 450 pounds of country ham from Kentucky farmers.
The festivities also included appearances by local and state officials and speeches by Kentucky Farm Bureau President Mark Haney, Gov. Steve Beshear, U.S. Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner James Comer.
Since its inception in 1964, the Kentucky Farm Bureau has helped raise more than $6.85 million dollars for charity.
The 2013 Kentucky State Fair continues through Sunday at the Kentucky Exposition Center.

Re: MLB Friday
I really like it.
Atlanta-Chicago 'UNDER' 9 +105
The weather is so-so at Wrigley this afternoon so I don't know that it will make a huge difference here. For starters, Home Plate Umpire Mark Wegner has been an under guy all season with 6 of his 9 games hitting the UNDER mark and I have no problem taking him to call this one under as well. All his OVER games have been when the total is at 8 or lower while any total at 8.5 or higher has gone 5-0 on the UNDER. Wegner doesn't always makes things easy for guys but it seems like he makes key third strike calls when he has to and when big innings are on the line. On the mound today for the Cubbies is Carlos Zambrano who has not pitched all that well but I think this is a good spot for him to put in one of his best efforts all season. He is coming off a very strong road start against the Dodgers where he allowed only 2 ER's in 7.2 innings of work while striking out 8 batters. I think that's just the kind of outing he needed to kick start his month of June and I really think he can shut down this Atlanta lineup today...enough to stay UNDER the total. On the flip side of things Ken Davies is on the mound for the Braves and let me tell you that Davies has pitched really well in his last two road starts. In those two starts he pitched 11.2 innings of work, allowing only 3 ER's and averaging only about 14 pitches per inning which is pretty good. What you have to understand about Wrigley, because this does make a difference here, is that when the wind is blowing IN FROM CENTER, almost all the games go OVER because pitchers have problems controlling the location of their pitches. However, the last time I checked this afternoon, that wind was coming in from RIGHT TO LEFT at 7mph at Wrigley which would indicate that pitchers are going to have an easier time locating pitches and getting the calls they want from an UNDER ump in Wegner. When the wind comes in from that direction this season, the UNDER is 7-2 on the year and an average of only 7.25 runs are scored per game. Also, when the wind blows in this direction this season, hitters are hitting only .237 (thats nine games combined) compared to .271 they hit when the wind is coming in from center field or other directions. Don't underestimate the power of wind here because on one side you have a Cubs team that is batting only .229 in their last 10 games and on the other side you have a Braves team that has scored more than 4 runs in a road game only 4 of their last 13 road games which is not good news for these guys. The UNDER is also 8-2 in the Cubs last 10 games that follow a day off and although Zambrano has been the king of OVER betting since the season started, I think he is about to turn a new corner and pitch one of his best home games this season on the heels of that outing against the Dodgers. Zambrano is 9-4 in 20 career starts in the month of June and for some reason some of his best stuff has come in daytime games like this one. Remember he has that one bad inning every game so don't panic if the Braves get a few early runs because this baby is not touching the OVER borders. LETS GO PITCHERS!

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 4/20/13
Sophomore quarterback Joel Stave threw for 161 yards and a touchdown as Wisconsin's defense beat the offense 61-47 in the team's spring scrimmage on Saturday. Fully recovered from a broken collarbone on Oct.27, Stave staked his claim for the open QB job for the reigning three-time Big Ten champions under first-year coach Gary Andersen, completing 11 of his first 13 passes before finishing 15 for 20. Utilizing a scoring system that awarded points for first downs, 10-yard running plays and 20-yard passing plays, Stave led the offense on a nine-play, 71-yard drive that tailback Melvin Gordon finished with an 11-yard scoring run on his first series. Stave also completed a 5-yard pass to fullback Derek Watt for the game's only passing touchdown in the second quarter. Linebackers Joe Schobert and Marcus Trotter had a team-high seven tackles.

VMware Takes Stock Exchange by Storm
VMware, a subsidiary of EMC which focuses on virtualization solutions, has gotten off to a flying start on the New York Stock Exchange.
At the end of the first day's trading, VMware shares had reached a price of US$ 53 on Nasdaq, way above the issue price of US$ 29. The securities went up again on the second day's trading, peaking at over US$ 57.
EMC is only floating about ten percent of VMware's share capital and thus keeping the absolute majority. According to statements by EMC prior to going public, there are no plans to offer more shares.
EMC CEO Joe Tucci will be investing capitalization revenue in the subsidiary. VMware shares were extremely popular before going public. Chip giant Intel and network specialist Cisco both invested three figure million dollar sums in VMware.

Re: Trumbull Lake?
Just before Mammoth Lakes is the Mammoth Lake Airport. Opposite or south on Hwy 395 is the turnoff for Convict Lake. My photo: "CONVICT LAKE" - Bishop Off The Beaten Path Tip by travelgourmet
I find this a really out of the way but the most beautiful lake resort area for tent campers. Has a store, restaurant and cabins nearby, as well as tube and boat rentals on the lake. See website: convictlake.com/campground.h...
My other favorite lake area is between Mammoth Lakes and Trumbull Lake and that is the June Lake Loop area. Great all around area and can get very busy. See website: junelakeloop.org/camping_and...

Birtwistle The Cure
Birtwistle's new chamber opera, The Cure, for two singers and ensemble will be premiered at the Aldeburgh Festival as part of a double bill with The Corridor.

Text is by Birtwistle's frequent collaborator David Harsent, and the staging is by Martin Duncan with designs by Alison Chitty. The double bill will transfer from Aldeburgh to the Linbury Theatre at The Royal Opera in London, with the London Sinfonietta as ensemble, conducted by Geoffrey Paterson.

how does one go about finding a non-vax friendly day care? I know day care isn't ideal (trust me, I used to work in one) but we are having a horrible time with nannies (we've had two since october, sweet girls, great with my LO but just not reliable - the one we have now texted my husband on xmas day she wouldn't be in that week) so we are exploring other options, including a couple of small "crunchy" preschools. we don't vax at all.
while searching for centers though I noticed one that I really liked had a specific page about vaccines that said absolutely no exceptions, everyone attending must be fully vaccinated. which got me wondering if we are wasting our time even considering a center or preschool...is there such thing as a non-vax friendly preschool or day care?
we live in a pretty crunchy area (boulder, colorado) so part of me thinks it should be possible but then again, nothing much surprises me these days re: people's view on vaccinating. we visited an in-home day care over the weekend and when DH mentioned we don't vaccinate I could immediately tell the provider wouldn't be taking on LO - then she started talking about her fears of SMALLPOX, of all things

At Middlebury College, as at many colleges and universities, students place 3,000 small American flags on the grounds to mark the anniversary of the terrorist attacks that killed so many people on 9/11. This year, five people, one of whom is a Middlebury student, removed some of the flags, angering many other students, The Addison Eagle reported. Those who removed the flags said that they were protesting "America's imperialism." And the student who was in the group said that the flags had been placed on land that was once a Native American burial ground.
A statement from the student added: "My intention was not to cause pain, but to visibilize the necessity of honoring all human life and to help a friend heal from the violence of genocide that she carries with her on a daily basis as an indigenous person. While the American flags on the Middlebury hillside symbolize to some the loss of innocent lives in New York, to others they represent centuries of bloody conquest and mass murder. Three thousand flags is a lot, but the campus is not big enough to hold a marker for every life sacrificed in the history of American conquest and colonialism."

I have been using RSS for a number of years and I kinda think I'm in a rut. Yeah, my simple RSS program works but it doesn't:
1. Put my lists online so that I don't have to create duplicate lists from computer to computer 2. Put shared lists online as recommendations for family, friends, and coworkers 3. Auto archive based on usage or lack there of 4. Rate RSS feeds by popularity both by the number of times I access it and by traffic to the site
1. Put my lists online so that I don't have to create duplicate lists from computer to computer
2. Put shared lists online as recommendations for family, friends, and coworkers
3. Auto archive based on usage or lack there of
4. Rate RSS feeds by popularity both by the number of times I access it and by traffic to the site
So I took a very small sample survey by walking down the hallway. Everyone want these kind of services and more. But no one had taken the time to go out there and find a great solution. So in this the first part of my research I further define my wants for the new system.
Put my lists online
I have different RSS feed lists for my different interests. The CRM reading list is at about 100 blogs. The friends and families is smaller. And the music and jazz RSS feed list is approaching 200 feeds. But depending upon where I am there are multiple copies of the same thing. At work I have three computers. At home I have two that I use regularly. No two machines have the same lists and that is a problem. I know I can copy my feeds to a skydrive and copy it to another machine but serious, that would be a weekly activity to keep the lists in sync.
Shared Lists
I want to be able to share my lists. I want to be able to scan lists that my friends, family and coworkers share. I can do this manually a number of ways. But I want it to be as easy as a check mark when I add a feed; do you want to share this feed? Yes. No.
Auto Archive
Wouldn't it be nice if you RSS would periodically at an interval you selected pop up and say, "You haven't used the following feeds for over a year. Do you want to keep them?" I don't wanna even think about pruning my many, many RSS feed lists.
Rating Feeds
I'd like to know which feeds, out of the hundred I read, are the most popular by my accesses. I'd also like to know which are the most popular by traffic to the feed. In my perfect world each Link string would be followed by a color coded icon for each statistic. My accesses a head icon colored Green for top 20%, Yellow for middle 60%, and Red for bottom 20%. And the traffic info might be a star icon with the same color scheme. No really.
So I write this in hopes that some of the power users like John, Aaron, or Menno will respond with a, "Hey dufus, that functionally already exists using *this* technology. It would save me a lot of time that I will probably be using to test many different Web 2.0 services, from social news giant Digg to commenting services like Intense Debate and CoComment to feed readers like FeedBurner. Heck, I'm even looking startup CrunchBase's fav.or.it.

Hi Jim,
Check out www.newsgator.com i thoroughly recommend it.
My primary driver for my RSS reader was synchronisation between my windows mobile phone and my laptop, i tried several free clients, including using Outlook but this has proved to be the best.
I don't believe it has all of your requirements, sharing lists, corporate list etc. But well worth checking out.
Someone I really respect also recommended Bloglines.
You could also check out Google Reader.
It allows you to categorise each RSS feed and then you can turn each of those categories into a new feed.
If you stick with accessing it via the web (or offline using Google Gears and regular syncing) then you get your consistency accross locations.
For pruning, you can jump into the trends page and get the "most obscure" (fewest subscriptions, through Reader) or inactive (by date of last post), from where you can drop them from your subscriptions list.
I foolishly signed up for over 900 feeds a year ago, over a couple of months recently, I whittled it down to just 384 :)
Note: Google Reader runs best in a fast JavaScript engine, IE8 and Chrome are significantly faster than say IE7.
Your milage may vary :)
Newsgator is what I use. The combination of their cloud service with their FeedDemon rich client does much of what you're looking for including online interface and auto archive. Rating feeds is harder but newsgaotr online does provide an indiction of how many people are subscribed to a feed.
