Anthurium scherzerianum (flamingo flower)
Anthurium scherzerianum in the Princess of Wales Conservatory
Species information
flamingo flower
Not yet assessed according to IUCN criteria.
Montane rainforest. This species is epiphytic (growing on trees) or terrestrial (growing on the ground).
All parts of the plant may have irritant effects when handled.
About this species
Anthurium scherzerianum is one of over 1,000 species in the genus Anthurium (the largest genus in the Araceae family) and was described by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott, Director of the Imperial Gardens at Vienna, in 1857. Schott was the earliest botanist to specialise almost exclusively in the Araceae. Anthurium scherzerianum and A. andraeanum are the only two scarlet anthuriums, and both are sometimes known by the common name 'flamingo flower'.

Geography and distribution
This species is found in Costa Rica at elevations of 1,300 to 2,100 m. It occurs in montane rainforest on the Atlantic slope of the Cordillera Central and the Cordillera de Talamanca.
This perennial species shows a clump-forming habit, and may grow on trees (as an epiphyte) or on the ground (terrestrial).
Anthurium scherzerianum has spreading, oblong to elliptic, leathery leaves, up to 25 cm long and 8 cm wide. The leaf blades are held on a petiole (leaf stalk) up to 20 cm long. Both sides of the leaf blade are dotted with minute dark glands. The large, showy spathe (8 to 10 cm long) is scarlet to orange-red and broadly oval. The orange-red spadix is usually coiled upward and may be up to 8 cm long. Euglossine bees are possible pollinators. The fruits are orange to red.
Cultivars of this species include Anthurium scherzerianum 'Album' with a white spathe and yellow spadix, 'Rothschildianum' with a densely white-dotted spathe and 'Wardii' with a large ruby-red spathe and long red spadix.
Anthuriums became fashionable as house plants during the nineteenth century. They are prized for their showy appearance and the longevity of cut stalks in water, which may last up to eight weeks. Numerous hybrids and cultivars of Anthurium scherzerianum have been developed for both these characteristics.
The popularity of anthuriums as ornamentals led to a rapid rise in their value in the horticulture and cut-flower industries. Anthuriums were historically grown in the shade of cocoa and citrus in producing regions such as Trinidad and Tobago. Today, plants are grown intensively under cover and are often multiplied using micropropagation techniques. The inflorescences are graded for the cut flower industry according to the width of the spathe.
Some species of Anthurium are used traditionally in medicine or to perfume tobacco.
Anthurium scherzerianum is commonly found in cultivation throughout the world, and many different forms are recognised.
It is cultivated in the aroid zone of the Tropical Nursery, one of the behind-the-scenes areas of Kew. Here, plants are mounted on cork-oak bark (Quercus suber) with flat moss, which helps to keep the roots moist. Alternatively, they can be grown in a compost mix with a high organic content. The plants are kept at about 25 °C and 85% relative humidity. They are watered or heavily misted every day (twice a day during the summer) and benefit from a weekly feed. The plants are protected from high light intensity in the nursery during summer by the use of automatic shading.
This species at Kew
Stunning examples of Anthurium scherzerianum can be seen as part of the annual Tropical Extravaganza festival in the Princess of Wales Conservatory. This species is also grown in the Tropical Nursery (one of the behind-the-scenes area of Kew).

Customers holding open positions must maintain minimum margin requirements as detailed in our Client Agreement. All positions have an initial margin requirement and you are required to keep an Account Balance over and above that requirement and any unrealised losses. Margin calls can be made at short notice and can be substantial. It is therefore important for you to familiarise yourself with our Client Agreement., especially the section relating to margin calls. The Product Disclosure Statement describes the Margin Requirements and a description of the risks of dealing in leveraged products.
Be aware that it is the Client's responsibility, not AxiTrader's, to monitor positions and make any margin payments as they become due.
Clients are warned that losses are not limited to their account balance and that they must not rely on AxiTrader closing out a position to prevent losses.
Put simply, Margin trading allows you to take a position of much higher value than the monies deposited in your account. Your account balance is security against an adverse movement in the market.
Margin means leverage and leverage means there is potential to lose more than the monies you have deposited in your AxiTrader account.
Margin comes in a number of different forms. Margin applies to all AxiTrader instruments and is made up of Initial Margin and Variation Margin.
Initial Margin is the minimum account balance required to open a position. Variation Margin is the unrealised profits or losses on open positions or transactions. Your total margin requirement is the sum of these two amounts and you must maintain at least this amount in your AxiTrader account at all times.
If the market moves against you and your account balance falls below your total margin requirement you have the option to:
Let's take the following example:
You have an account with $10,000 with AxiTrader. At 1% margin, you may open positions to a total value of $1,000,000.$10,000 ÷0.01 =$1,000,000). Buying A$500,000 (or 5 Standard Contracts) against the USD at an exchange rate of 0.800
Initial Margin Requirement = 5 Lots X (Contract Size X 0.01) = A$5,000
If the Australian Dollar depreciates in value against the USD to 0.7950 then Variation Margin (Unrealised Losses) are USD$2,500 (A$3,145).
Total Margin Requirement = Initial Margin + Variation Margin = A$5,000 + A$3,145 = A$8,145
The Margin Ratio = Account Equity ÷ Margin Requirement = 137%
This margin facility allows you to potentially make large profits from a relatively small initial investment. But it must be pointed out that any losses are equally multiplied.
MetaTrader 4, our trading platform, allows you to monitor and control risk exposure in real time. Based on each client's margin requirement, the platform calculates both the funds needed to retain current open positions and the trading resources available for entering into new positions or for adding to existing open positions.
From our example above:
If positions remain open and the AUD falls further in value AxiTrader may exercise its right to close some or all of the positions (Liquidation). The Liquidation Level is where the Margin Ratio falls below a certain level. It is currently set at 20% but may vary.
In our example, when the AUD/USD Exchange Rate is 0.7920 the Margin Ratio is:
Account Equity ÷ Margin Requirement = Equity (A$10,000 – A$5,051) ÷ A$5,000 = 99%
As the Margin Ratio is less than 100% the account is in Margin Call.
If the Australian Dollar continues to fall in value against the US Dollar to an exchange rate of 0.7858 then
Unrealised Losses will rise to US$7,100 (A$9,035) and Account Equity will have fallen to A$965.
The Margin Ratio will be A$965 ÷A$5,000 = 19% and Liquidation will be triggered.
The positions are liable to be closed by AxiTrader.
Liquidation is not guaranteed to protect against a negative balance.
Clients are warned that losses are not limited to their account balance and that they must not rely on AxiTrader closing out a position to prevent losses. Markets can gap, systems can fail or other circumstances may prevent liquidation.

Blue Glass Bottle with Clamp Lid 1 1
Nice Bottle The bottle is larger than I expected but it is true to the dimensions. Snap closure is tight, no leaks. The opening is a bit smaller than a quarter so if you want to fill it, things would have to be small. Color is light blue, light aqua shades. Thickness is about that of a coke bottle. I plan to buy a couple more since they are so pretty and reasonably priced. June 24, 2015

Homesickness is probably the biggest reason for the Freshman Blues. Your student may be homesick for family, friends, his or her own bed, familiar weather, and/or a sweetheart who's been left behind.
You can't automatically tell which student will catch the worst case of homesickness. What you can do is tell your student that it's a perfectly normal reaction starting college. If he or she says, "But I feel like such a baby ...," reassure your student that homesickness is NOT a sign of immaturity.
It's not a reflection on you, one way or the other, if your child DOESN'T seem homesick. It may be that he or she adjusted more quickly to school than other students. Or, your child may be hiding his or her feelings. All you can do is to stay connected and offer help or suggestions when asked.
Here are some ways you can help your student cope with being homesick:
The bottom line is that students adjust to college in their own way and in their own time. It's easy for some and hard for others. Look for signs of progress rather than quick and easy cures.

So, I know push presents are a big ol' drama hot button issue, and my husband usually goes all out and buys me something elaborate for any holiday or special event, but this year I am going to advise him that all I want is two apple trees for the back yard one in honor of my first son and the 2nd for the new baby. This is our forever home, so I think it would be nice to tell the boys those trees are "for them" What do you ladies think?
OHHHHH ya I am going there..oh no!!!

Building Effective Teacher Residencies
Read this new report from UTRU examining the characteristics of highly successful teacher residency programs in UTRU's Network.
Roughly 50% of all urban public school teachers leave within the first three years. The retention rate for Urban Teacher Residency (UTR) grads beyond those crucial first three years is 85%. It's a difference that's transforming districts.
And a model that's producing results.

Maybe the Ravens have been watching too much hockey lately because two teammates dropped the gloves and went at it on Wednesday. Linebacker Courtney Upshaw and guard Jah Reid got into a brief fight during Ravens minicamp practice, according to The Baltimore Sun. The two played "locked up with Reid losing his helmet in the process while throwing several punches," according to Aaron Wilson of The Sun. The fight was broken up before Upshaw could retaliate. It hasn't been a great offseason for Upshaw (above on the right), who ballooned up to 285 pounds this offseason after weighing in at 270 to end the 2012 season. Upshaw had to stay away from the Ravens facility due to some "personal issues," which he blamed on the weight gain. Another fight looked ready to break out at Baltimore's minicamp between linebacker Elvis Dumervil and tackle Michael Oher, but "cooler heads prevailed," according to The Sun.

|Peake Suffers Torn ACL in Practice, Out for Season
|Clemson Athletic Communications - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 7:39 PM
Clemson, SC—Charone PeakeCharone Peake
Jr. Wide Receiver
#19 6-3, 200
Moore, SC
View Full Profile, the second leading receiver on Clemson's third ranked football team, suffered a torn ACL during practice on Tuesday and will be lost for the season.
"This is a big loss, Charone was having a great year and was going to have a great year," said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. "We are thin at receiver with just six scholarship players now. We like to carry 10 at that position. We have good players, but we don't have a lot of bodies."
Swinney said Peake suffered the injury in a simple non contact drill. The MRI was read today and it revealed a torn ACL.
Peake had eight catches for 84 yards and a touchdown in two games so far this year, second on the Clemson team to Sammy WatkinsSammy Watkins
Jr. Wide Receiver
#2 6-1, 205
Fort Myers, FL
View Full Profile in both receptions and yards.
Peake, a preseason watch list selection for the Biletnikoff Award, had 25 receptions last year for 172 yards and two scores. He played in 13 games last year, two as a starter. He had played in 29 consecutive games over three seasons, but will miss his first next September 19 when the Tigers play at NC State.
Swinney said after practice Wednesday that Adam HumphriesAdam Humphries
Jr. Wide Receiver

July 4, 2015
BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) - An agreement endorsed today in court means a border security fence would no longer cut off a large chunk of a South Texas university.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen had ordered the the University of Texas at Brownsville and the Department of Homeland Security to work on a compromise.
The federal judge in Brownsville accepted the deal in principle and ordered both sides to submit it in writing by Tuesday.
It means the government will not condemn any university land.
In exchange, UT-Brownsville will maintain an existing 10-foot chain-link fence next to a levee, and invest in cameras and sensors for additional security.
The university had accused the feds of violating an earlier agreement to study alternatives to a fence with Mexico cutting off the school's golf course and land for expansion.

Fréchet inequalities
In probabilistic logic, the Fréchet inequalities, also known as the Boole–Fréchet inequalities, are rules implicit in the work of George Boole[1][2] and explicitly derived by Maurice Fréchet[3][4] that govern the combination of probabilities about logical propositions or events logically linked together in conjunctions (AND operations) or disjunctions (OR operations) as in Boolean expressions or fault or event trees common in risk assessments, engineering design and artificial intelligence. These inequalities can be considered rules about how to bound calculations involving probabilities without assuming independence or, indeed, without making any dependence assumptions whatsoever. The Fréchet inequalities are closely related to the Boole–Bonferroni–Fréchet inequalities, and to Fréchet bounds.
If Ai are logical propositions or events, the Fréchet inequalities are
- Probability of a logical conjunction (&)
- max(0, P(A1) + P(A2) + ... + P(An) − (n − 1)) ≤ P(A1 & A2 & ... & An) ≤ min(P(A1), P(A2), ..., P(An)),
- Probability of a logical disjunction (∨)
- max(P(A1), P(A2), ..., P(An)) ≤ P(A1 ∨ A2 ∨ ... ∨ An) ≤ min(1, P(A1) + P(A2) + ... + P(An)),
where P( ) denotes the probability of an event or proposition. In the case where there are only two events, say A and B, the inequalities reduce to
- Probability of a logical conjunction (&)
- max(0, P(A) + P(B) − 1) ≤ P(A & B) ≤ min(P(A), P(B)),
- Probability of a logical disjunction (∨)
- max(P(A), P(B)) ≤ P(A ∨ B) ≤ min(1, P(A) + P(B)).
The inequalities bound the probabilities of the two kinds of joint events given the probabilities of the individual events. For example, if A is "has lung cancer", and B is "has mesothelioma", then A & B is "has both lung cancer and mesothelioma", and A ∨ B is "has lung cancer or mesothelioma or both diseases", and the inequalities relate the risks of these events.
Note that logical conjunctions are denoted in various ways in different fields, including AND, &, ∧ and graphical AND-gates. Logical disjunctions are likewise denoted in various ways, including OR, |, ∨, and graphical OR-gates. If events are taken to be sets rather than logical propositions, the set-theoretic versions of the Fréchet inequalities are
- Probability of an intersection of events
- max(0,P(A) + P(B) − 1) ≤ P(A ∩ B) ≤ min(P(A), P(B)),
- Probability of a union of events
- max(P(A), P(B)) ≤ P(A ∪ B) ≤ min(1, P(A) + P(B)).
Numerical examples[edit]
If the probability of an event A is P(A) = a = 0.7, and the probability of the event B is P(B) = b = 0.8, then the probability of the conjunction. i.e., the joint event A & B, is surely in the interval
- P(A & B) = [max(0, a + b − 1), min(a, b)]
- = [max(0, 0.7 + 0.8−1), min(0.7, 0.8)]
- = [0.5, 0.7].
Likewise, the probability of the disjunction A ∨ B is surely in the interval
- P(A ∨ B) = [max(a, b), min(1, a + b)]
- = [max(0.7, 0.8), min(1, 0.7 + 0.8)]
- = [0.8, 1].
These intervals are contrasted with the results obtained from the rules of probability assuming independence, where the probability of the conjunction is P(A & B) = a × b = 0.7 × 0.8 = 0.56, and the probability of the disjunction is P(A ∨ B) = a + b − a × b = 0.94.
When the marginal probabilities are very small (or large), the Fréchet intervals are strongly asymmetric about the analogous results under independence. For example, suppose P(A) = 0.000002 = 2×10−6 and P(B) = 0.000003 = 3×10−6. Then the Fréchet inequalities say P(A & B) is in the interval [0, 2×10−6], and P(A ∨ B) is in the interval [3×10−6, 5×10−6]. If A and B are independent, however, the probability of A & B is 6×10−12 which is, comparatively, very close to the lower limit (zero) of the Fréchet interval. Similarly, the probability of A ∨ B is 4.999994×10−6, which is very close to the upper limit of the Fréchet interval. This is what justifies the rare-event approximation[5] often used in reliability theory.
The proofs are elementary. Recall that P(A ∨ B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A & B), which implies P(A) + P(B) − P(A ∨ B) = P(A & B). Because all probabilities are no bigger than 1, we know P(A ∨ B) ≤ 1, which implies that P(A) + P(B) − 1 ≤ P(A & B). Because all probabilities are also positive we can similarly say 0 ≤ P(A & B), so max(0, P(A) + P(B) − 1) ≤ P(A & B). This gives the lower bound on the conjunction.
To get the upper bound, recall that P(A & B) = P(A|B) P(B) = P(B|A) P(A). Because P(A|B) ≤ 1 and P(B|A) ≤ 1, we know P(A & B) ≤ P(A) and P(A & B) ≤ P(B). Therefore, P(A & B) ≤ min(P(A), P(B)), which is the upper bound.
The best-possible nature of these bounds follows from observing that they are realized by some dependency between the events A and B. Comparable bounds on the disjunction are similarly derived.
When the input probabilities are themselves interval ranges, the Fréchet formulas still work as a probability bounds analysis. Hailperin[2] considered the problem of evaluating probabilistic Boolean expressions involving many events in complex conjunctions and disjunctions. Some[6][7] have suggested using the inequalities in various applications of artificial intelligence and have extended the rules to account for various assumptions about the dependence among the events. The inequalities can also be generalized to other logical operations, including even modus ponens.[6][8] When the input probabilities are characterized by probability distributions, analogous operations that generalize logical and arithmetic convolutions without assumptions about the dependence between the inputs can be defined based on the related notion of Fréchet bounds.[7][9][10]

A new PPAI* study done in November 2012 shows that promotional products have a high reach and potential for top-of-mind recall and are
an excellent medium to increase and sustain brand awareness. These products are often present and used in consumers' daily lives. If you've wondered whether buying promotional products is worth it, then check out the key findings of this study below.
Recall of Promotional Products
• Seven in 10 consumers recalled receiving at least one promotional product in the past 12
• 88% recalled the advertiser from a product received in the past
12 months.
• The most often recalled
promotional product categories include:
• Wearables (41%): Including Shirts (22%), Caps/Headwear (11%), Outerwear(6%)
Other Wearables (2%)
• Writing Instruments (35%)
• Drinkware (19%)
Usage of Promotional Products
• Eight in 10 consumers own between one and 10 promotional products, six in 10 keep
them for up to two years, and about half (53%) use a promo item at least once a week or
more often
• The main reason for keeping a promotional product is usefulness. Ranking higher in
usefulness are Computer Products (100%), Health & Safety Products (100%), and Writing
Instruments (91%)
• When it comes to frequency of use, Calendars/Planners (85%), Computer Products (85%)
and Electronic Devices & Accessories (82%), take the top 3 spots
• Most promotional products are kept at home (54%) or on the person (24%). Only one in 5 trashes non-wanted promotional products.
Relationship with Advertiser & Business Impact
• Nearly six in 10 consumers received promotional products from a business establishment or
at trade shows, conferences or conventions.
• Most consumers (88%) were familiar with the advertiser before receiving promotional items.
Advertisers were able to cause the most favorable impression among consumers who were
familiar with them. However, regardless of awareness, promotional products had a positive
impact on impressions about the advertisers.
• Before receiving the promotional products, about half of the consumers had done business
with the advertiser (55%). After receiving the promotional products, 85% did business with
the advertiser.
• Advertisers were also able to increase their business even among those who hadn't done
any business with them before (11%).
The Result
By providing useful promotional products that can be integrated in consumers' lives in an organic way, advertisers can increase their reach and potential for creating and maintaining brand awareness. Promotional products should be thought of as "gifts for family and friends" to extend their relevancy beyond target users to facilitate passing them to others and thus increasing their reach. And when deciding on what products to use, choose the top categories above should allow you to receive the most bang for your buck.

Day 2
Tuesday, June 8th.
It was cold (somewhat less than 40 degrees F) overnight and Dennis suffered in
the thin, narrow sleeping bag he had brought. And it was a rather cold ride up
the fairly boring Maine route 11 into the north country. We crossed the border
at Fort Fairfield into Canada ... and it
. In all the times I've
been into and out of our fair northern neighbor country, I have never
experienced anywhere near the grief we got that day. Normally, it has been,
"[Standard questions about guns, alchohol, etc.]" and "Enjoy your visit!," but
this one time it was, "Pull over there!" and a whole lot of questions and
examining of saddle-bag contents, etc. plus a mandatory visit to the folks
inside the office for an "interview." Said interview began with the immigration
officer shouting "William!" (or something sounding roughly like it - nothing I
had ever heard before) down the hallway to the area where I was standing and
beckoning me to join her. So I followed her down the hall and into the
interrogation, er, interview room and preceeded to answer a zillion questions
("How much money do you have?" "About $60 Canadian." "No no no, how much money
do you have access to?" "Oh, well, maybe $10,000 in cash via ATM, maybe $50,000
on limits on my credit cards" - (sotto voice: "Yes, witch, I'm not some random
lowlife American trying to steal a good job from some righteous Canadian!"),
which seemed to confuse her (along with the denial of any criminal record in the
US of A.) Well, it turned out that Dennis's real name is
E****, so they confused me with him and on top of that, somehow managed to find
an arrest report on him from 1961 (
yes! 1961!
) for setting off a fire
cracker in the lobby of his dormitory in college (Note that! No charges! No
conviction! And from 49 freakin' years ago! - You think there is such a thing as
privacy in this world?). Anyway, we were stuck there for more than an hour while
they satisfied themselves that we were worthy of entering Canada. And of course,
with the time change from Eastern (in Maine, etc. USA) to Atlantic (in New
Brunswick, Canada), we lost an additional hour and that made lunch in the
nearest town, Perth-Andover, really late.
Perth is on one side and Andover on the other of the Saint John's River:
Floods from ice jams have clobbered the area in the past:
Large dark clouds moved in and rain poured down ... while we were eating lunch,
warm and toasty, in here:
Finally remembering to follow Advrider trip report requirement #2 ("Photograph
your food" - #1 must be "Salute the cameraman.") I herewith show you ...
... a Donair sandwich, something unique to the maritime provinces although
sometimes also found in the far northern midwest US. Donair meat is beef or lamb
finely ground with garlic and spices, turned into a paste, and then rolled out
into thin flat layers and cooked. They're served with Donair Sauce, which is
basically runny mayonnaise with sugar added. A real treat, if you can get over
the sweetness of the sauce. Dennis had a respectable Chicken Caesar Salad.
After lunch and with the rain ending, it was on to Plaster Rock for groceries:
at which point I lost Dennis for the first time. One moment I was shopping for
dinner and the next not only didn't I see Dennis anywhere in the store, his bike
was gone! WTF? Turned out he needed to use the bathroom but he hadn't seen one
in the store and hadn't just
the folks who worked there where one
was. Instead, he jumped on his bike and rode down to a gas station somewhere
else in town. So our quick stop turned out to be 45 minutes. Back on the road
again, we hit a provincial liquor store for essentials (wine, lottery tickets,
canoe - you know, the usual stuff you take with you on a motorcycle camping
and continued up 385 to Mount Carleton Provincial Park. All along the way, in
New Brunswick and in Maine earlier and Quebec later, lupins were in full bloom:
The road was paved all the way to the park entrance. That completely baffled me,
because I had visited this park twice before, the latest time just last August,
and I was sure 385 from Plaster Rock to the park was gravel. It certainly was
when I was there in 2001 and I deliberately did not take it in 2009 because it
was a muddy mess as I left the park in a pouring rainstorm, so I bailed and went
around on the paved route 17 to the north. But, it was paved now!
After an unusual argument with the park's administrative staff (they wouldn't
let us put two (backpacker-sized) tents on one site - who ever heard of
restriction?), they finally relented and we entered the park (that's
Mount Sagamook, 777 meters, in the background). (They also apologized for the
all the rain. Dennis and I looked at each other like, "What rain?" We had
successfully missed a week's worth that had passed through ahead of us. The dirt
roads were a little gooey but otherwise we had a dry time.)
We chose the Williams campground (one of the tent-only ones) and in fact stayed
at exactly the same site where I had stayed last August. Dennis had made an
adapter to connect his bike's BMW-type accessory connector to a regular
cigarette lighter socket so he could charge up his cell phone, but he hadn't
tried it out before he left, and it didn't work. Here, he's discovering that he
had hooked it up backwards, and that in turn apparently fried his charger.
Which was not really a terrible thing, since there was no cell service in most
of the places we were and his wife was mad at him for taking the trip anyway and
had told him not to call her while he was away. I taught him how to play
cribbage that night. He pick up the rules and vocabulary pretty quickly and,
being a pretty sharp guy, got a handle on strategy too, which made him a more
interesting opponent than most beginners.
Our campsite the next morning. I had won the coin toss and got the platform. He
camped in a flat spot on the ground.
Anti-bear measures in bear country (we did this everywhere, garbage and
groceries up in the air):
Mount Sagamook from our campsite, looking across Lake Nictau:
275 miles for the day.
More to come.
Back Roads. Period.

Drz250 Thread
i am thinking about buying a drz250 for a ds/trail bike
i am looking for some opions from folks on this machine
my hope is that it will be a good trainging bike for my 19yo stepson and a
fun bike for myself
as well as do some light comuting duties
any and all input will be helpful
there must be someone out there with stories and pix to share
The DRZ250 was never sold as street legal in the states. You may find one that's been converted but it will lack some of the street goodies dual sports have (passenger pegs, useful mirrors, keyed ignition etc). As a dirt bike it never got all that popular as its quite heavy and an KDX200 is better in every respect. A provided you don't need the usual amenities of a factory dual sport one converted for dual sport use could be quite nice. They are fairly snappy and should be ultra reliable. I have a DR250SE which is a completely different bike (its essentially the same thing as a DR350SE) and have found it to be an excellent around-town/city bike. Not too bad on the trails either, but certainly not going to be confused with a dedicated dirt bike either. A DR250SE or 350SE may do the job as well or better than the DRZ250. They will weight a little more, but only a little and they are factory street legal and have more aftermarket and forum support. I don't recall whether the DRZ250 has a 6spd or 5spd - the extra gear is handy, especially on smaller displacement bikes (The DR250/350 are all 6spd).
have fun
The DR-Z250 is a six-speeder. If you buy one, keep the air filter spotless, you lose 10-20% power when it is dirty. That makes a significant difference to the highway cruise and acceleration.
Don't worry about the -Z tag, it means nothing except to the marketeers trying to cash in on the "all new" DR-Z400's success. As far as I could tell, the bike was practically the same to at least as far back as 1995, probably longer, labelled simply DR250 or DR250S. Heck they didn't even update the plastics, just changed the stickers!!
Because the DR-Z250 was sold as road-legal outside the US of Eh? you could buy all the proper dual sport parts, bolt them on, and nobody would know it didn't come that way from the factory.
However I suspect they were road-legal in the US at some point. The one I had, was sent to Suzuki Australia, who complied it for use there, then it was shipped to Suzuki New Zealand who sold it new. So it had both AU & NZ compliance plates. Interestingly, the user hand book was for the American market, Suzuki Motor Corp USA or whatever, complete with all the road legal gear.
i have had a dr350 and a couple xr/xl in my time
i am looking for a nice trail bike the drz250 looks like the best compromise
from my beloved and long gone sp200 and my also beloved and long gone dr350.
and as a plus it is just a little differant with out being hard to get parts for
is there a big tank in the land down under, for the drz250
i am loing all the input keep it rolling in
No big tanks made here. Try JustGasTanks. It's where most of the kiwi adv'ers tend to shop, even for Aussie-made tanks.
The US market got a different set of DR/DRZ250's than the rest of the world. The DRZ250 here is totally different than the DR250S/SE that preceded it. The DRZ250 was also definitely not sold as road legal here. Bolting the parts on to make it legal would be easy of course using either factory parts from a different market or a baja kit. Most states won't technically allow such things and the VIN number is in the DMV's computer as not road legal making it difficult to get tags in many states. Some, like Colorado are more reasonable, others like CA wil make it nearly impossible.
If its a trail bike you want do take a look at a KDX200, its a very fine machine and 50lbs lighter than the DRZ250 :)
Sounds like the US is more bureaucratic than Australia... and Australia is really bad! :loco :cry
However, a bit of digging (gotta love the Wayback Machine) shows the US DR-Z250's to be visually identically to the ones we get downunder (click through pics for American Suzuki Motor Corp web info). So that would mean the earlier bikes were different to RoW, not the -Z. Prior to the -Z moniker arriving in... 2000?... this was the DR250 (or DR250S). Not sure which got the S, there was a tin-tank version and a plastic tanker.
Doesn't help with your paperwork problem, though. :(:
Yep, I think the bike is physically the same as your current 250. If you go back a bit in time our DR250 was quite different (our DR250 is a de-stroked and sleeved DR350 - dry sump motor, round frame tubes). We do have quite a difficult govt when it comes to vehicles. Not that the DRZ250 that you get wouldn't satisfy our govt, just that it would cost a fortune to certify it as such, making it not worth the cost for mfg's to certify some of their bikes for road use. :cry
I have an 03 DRZ-250 the US model, its a plastic tank. It's been a great little bike but its not plated for California. Actually I bought the 08 WR250R to replace it
But the US market has to be shitloads bigger, so shouldn't suffer this same problem? or are your compliance systems state-based, so each one is different? At least in Australia, the compliance is basically national.
New Zealand is so small it pretty much doesn't inflict it's own special requirements on the market. If it is road-legal elsewhere, it can be here. Plus, virtually anything can be made road legal, as long as it has the equipment fitted.
planning on making the drive to the up mi to pick up a good used drz250 next weekend
any body know some good riding trails up there
i have to drive 14hrs one way not do some riding
Suzuki Djebel 250XC
it looks like the Suzuki Djebel 250XC is the same bike with
a steel tank and other road going parts
does any one out there know this for sure?
Yes it is basically the same bike, but some significant differences that make it a better road/adventure bike rather than a trail/adventure. Ditto the Yamaha Raid (TT-R250) and Honda Baja (XR250). Mostly these three bikes are in NZ as used Japanese imports, as Japanese domestic models. Djebels in particular are very popular here, probably because Suzuki in NZ rivals Honda for the number one spot.
All have electric start, lockable steel tanks, luggage racks, big headlights, softer seats, lower seat height, softer engine tune (CV rather than flat-slide carbs) and softer suspension. Park them side-by-side and you start to see lots of differences in fittings etc but the core engine, frame and wheels are the same.
do you have any pix of the djebel

I haven't had any experience myself but my cousin's elderly cat did this for a while and I have also read of this behaviour in cat advice books.
It's apparently relatively common in elderly cats and could be a sign of 'dementia' insofar as the cat panics when it wakes at night, unsure of where it is and needs the reassurance of familiar and comforting people and attention. During daylight the cat acts fairly normally.
With my cousin's cat she started to bring her upstairs to her bedroom at night so that when she woke she could see the person she felt most secure with. However, you say that your cat is already on your bed when she starts yowling. Perhaps just say a few reassuring words and don't get up because this probably reinforces the behaviour.
It might be worth getting the vet to give her a check-up just to exclude any medical problems. I know you said your cat was healthy but I believed my 16 year old cat was very healthy too - she had her annual vet check-up but less than 6 months later she had died from cancer. The annual check is, after all, fairly cursory.

There are two beautiful 7 Series sedans on display at the 2012 LA Auto Show. One is a frozen white 2013 BMW 750Li (long wheelbase) M Sport Individual and the other is a Alpina B7 SWB.
The 2013 Alpina B7, based on the refreshed 2013 7 Series, made its U.S. debut this week at the BMW press launch in Laguna Seca Raceway (along with the 2013 M5 and M6 coupe). This is the closest thing we'll get to an M7 or M Performance 7 Series (for now) and it was a beast on the track!
Our Track Review
It's a wholly physics defying experience accelerating a nearly 5000 pound car from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, handling corners at speed with little roll, and diving … CONTINUED
Today, BMW announced updates to the second generation of the successful BMW ALPINA B7 super-high performance luxury sedan with more performance, fresh design features, and improved efficiency. The new B7 is slated for a North American debut at the historic Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August and will go on-sale immediately thereafter. Pricing will be $127,600 (B7 Standard Wheelbase), $130,600 (B7 SWB with xDrive), $131,500 (B7 Long Wheelbase), and $134,500 (B7 LWB with xDrive).
The new BMW ALPINA B7 has been enhanced in-line with updates to the … CONTINUED
Swiss tuner Mansory reveals their F01 7-series tuning and aerodynamics program. The program features both performance and cosmetic revisions for the 750i and 760Li.
A remapped ECU and air intake bumps the 750i up to 490hp / 720Nm torque and the 760Li to 640hp / 920Nm torque. 0-62mph acceleration times have been dropped to 4.2 seconds for the 760Li (0.4 seconds faster than from the factory). The exhaust has been replaced by a sports exhaust system with square tips.
The cosmetic program features a full bodykit – with … CONTINUED
Here's more coverage on the impressive BMW Alpina B7, courtesy of drivesTV. Judging by the video description, they had tons of fun: "Amazing that a four-door sedan can put a smile that big on your face. If only there were longer roads and fewer rules." Enjoy!
And so it continues, the stream of Alpina B7 tests. This one is from Car and Driver and was actually published back in September, but it seemed fitting given the handful of B7 tests and videos that were published this past weekend.
Car and Driver's report is geared towards the fact finders amongst us. Its very clear and to the point with gobs of detail on the car. I personally liked the review as I could find any piece of information I wanted to know in it. … CONTINUED
We've previously reported on InsideLine's First Drive of the Alpina B7. Now it seems the press has gotten their Full test reviews out the door.
I have to say I really like this article. While to any true BMW fan, the name Alpina should be nothing new, and has become synonymous with a mix of oppulance and speed, something akin to BMW's version of AMG (atleast of yore). The analogy becomes more realistic when one consider's Alpina's Penchant for automatic transmissions. But back to the article, … CONTINUED
The folks at Autoblog had the opportunity to get their hands on the BMW Alpina B7, and they apparently had a blast. Not only would they let it run against an E92 M3 to find out the M3 "can't lose the Alpina B7 on one long road to nowhere deep in the reaches of an unincorporated area of the California coastal mountains." They also refer to the Alpina B7 as "an amazing machine. Defying all logic, the sedan seems to shed pounds as the g-forces increase … CONTINUED
Wald releases its BMW 7-series Black Bison Edition. "Black Bison" is named for its powerful body lines and it includes aero parts, custom exhaust system, and WALD wheels.
The 2011 Alpina B7 sedan and the 2011 740i M-sport package are on exhibit at the 2010 Los Angeles Autoshow. The Alpina B7 features an enhanced 4.4L V8 engine producing 500hp and 516lb-ft torque, good for 0-60 in 4.5 seconds.
Lumma Tuning has released photos of its widebody BMW 760Li Individual. Most prominently, it features aggressively flared fender arches front and rear with cosmetic vents, aggressive rear bumper with diffuser, and carbon fiber grill and mirrors.
The new BMW ALPINA B7 was presented to selected members of the American press and the BMW dealer family, at an exclusive event held from the 5th to the 11th of June in California. Participants were able to sample the ALPINA flagships comfort and sport orientation at both Infineon Raceway and while driving through Californias scenery, including the renowned Highway One. Presentations were made regarding the B7s … CONTINUED
The press has been out in force with their Alpina B7 reviews this week, following a big press event where various members of the press were given these cars to drive and have fun with.
I really enjoyed this one article in particular by the folks over at InsideLine, here are some select quotes but make sure to follow the jump to the full article
Here a few updates to our running BMW Alpina B7 wallpaper and photos thread. We've updated it with photos of the soon to be released all-wheel drive version of the B7, dubbed officially the BMW Alpina B7 xDrive

One of the nicest pieces of straight-up psych rock I've heard in ages. The album COIL SEA by Coil Sea is out on Thrill Jockey on Aug 24.

You might like music that's played on: http://www.kfjc.org/ . It is a college radio station of Foothills Junior College in Los Gatos Hills, CA. They used to be very hard to find, indeed, before the internet.
I'm currently listening to: Lucifer Lazer Light by Annapurna Illusion, from the album The Fifth Veda and it shares elements with music that you post.
They've been playing this kind of stuff for at least 20 years that I personally know of, when I'd travel to the Bay Area
