I am an outgoing introvert who loves quite evenings at home or happy hours with friends. You won't find me out at the bars on a Friday or Saturday night--instead, you'll find me at a sporting event, out to dinner, or enjoying some down-time at home. I am a math coordinator a turn-around school in Denver. I work a lot of hours and I do so willingly because I passionately believe that all students deserve a high-quality education that releases their potential regardless of the zip-code they were born in. I am searching for someone who is loyal, strong, and is willing to look deeper. Someone who loves family, sports, and those quite moments of contentment that come from being with someone you trust, love, and respect. I am looking for someone who makes me laugh, asks the tough questions, and helps me become the best version of myself.

What would a half-Andorian, half-Vulcan child look like?

That works for Vulcans/Romulans and MAYBE Humans/Betazeds. We already know the Vulcans and Romulans have a common origin and one might be able to make a case that the same is true with Humans and Betazeds but when you look at species like Human-Vulcan or Human-Klingon or Andorian-Vulcan or Cardassian-Bajoran, forget it. Notwithstanding the scientific illiteracy of some of the posters here, we know how genetics works and we know that natural hybrids between such disparate species is impossible. Even genetically engineered unions are hard to see.
TNG-The Chase was a nice effort to try to fix the mess they created. Unfortunately, the writers either didn't understand how evolution works or they underestimated the scientific knowledge of the typical Trek nerd.
Even if there was a base commonality between all humanoid species, it would still be impossible for disparate species like Humans and Vulcans to reproduce. The physiological differences are enormous. It's not just blood chemistry - although that would be plenty enough to make Human-Vulcan Hybrids impossible. Vulcans have very-high body temperature, very-high heart rate and very-low blood pressure. All the organs would have to function completely differently. As other posters have already pointed out, Humans have FAR MORE in common with great apes than we would with Vulcans and we (thankfully) can't mate with those.

The Man Machine (2009 Digital Remaster)
by Kraftwerk
Released: Jan 1978
Label: Parlophone UK
The Man-Machine is one of the most groundbreaking pop albums of all time. Forget about Bowie's ersatz space-robot shtick and practically all the synth pop that came in the wake of it; this is disco made by real robots. German robots. Kraftwerk basically encoded the language of New Wave with this one.

Estelle Fach created a new topic ' How governance can support a REDD+ Strategy' in the forum.
Hi everyone,
in the UN-REDD Strategic framework and in the materials for the REDD+ Academy, we have proposed to unpack how governance can inform the design, implementation and even monitoring of a national REDD+ strategy. The framework is simple :
1) To understand the underlying factors that may drive certain drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, or impede effective conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks. For example, governance analytics can hep pinpoint specific issues such as weak enforcement and corruption that lead to illegal logging, and sketch ideas to address these.
2) To develop successful and effective national REDD+ strategies and policies and measures – for example, how governance weaknesses and strengths can inform the feasibility of certain measures to address drivers.
3) To implement and monitor strategies and policies and measures – for example by drawing lessons from internal or external factors can make or impede successful policy action, or by enhancing the institutional and collaborative capacity of REDD+ implementing national agencies
4) To promote adjustments in the implementation of REDD+ PaMs, for example allowing for participatory monitoring of the effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of such policies and measures
5) To ensure that safeguards are addressed and respected, by providing enabling conditions as well as through unpacking safeguard 2b
6) To manage REDD+ funds in a transparent and accountable manner, to avoid corruption risks such as undue influence, fraud or embezzlement.
Does this resonate with you ? What are your experiences ?
(I'll attach the full REDD+ Academy module once 100% final)

How to prevent update trigger from firing on insert
Last Post 24 Apr 2008 08:17 AM by SQLUSA. 8 Replies.

I have an insert trigger on TableA that updates Column1 in TableA. I also have an update trigger on TableA that I don't want to fire, or at least not to execute certain code, when a new record is inserted in the table. How can this be achieved?
I don't want to use a computed column instead of the update statement in the insert trigger -- the value has to be static, and I don't want performance hit when selecting from the table.
New Member

The real question is, what do the two different triggers do?
What does the INSERT trigger do?
What does the UPDATE trigger do?
New Member
23 Apr 2008 09:36 AM
create table [tblA] ([col_vb] varbinary(8), [col_str] varchar(18))
[col_vb] stores timestamps from another db
[col_str] has to be updated on insert to store a string with hex representation of [col_vb]
I'm using this to get a hex string from varbinary:
So far, I tried the following:
1. Using "instead of insert" trigger to update [col_str]. It works, but I'll have to maintain triggers if anything changes.
2. Making [col_str] a computed column. It works, but 1) there is a performance hit and 2) sys.fn_varbintohexstr actually returns nvarchar(max) -- not what I need.
3. Making [col_str] a persisted computed column. "Create table" blows up, returning the following:
Msg 211, Level 23, State 107, Line 1
Possible schema corruption. Run DBCC CHECKCATALOG.
Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.

23 Apr 2008 10:33 AM
So why do you need an UPDATE trigger?
New Member
23 Apr 2008 11:22 AM
To populate [col_str] on insert. I put the following in the insert trigger:
update [tblA]
set [col_str] = replace(upper(sys.fn_varbintohexstr([col_vb])),'X','x')
from [tblA] a join inserted i on a.[pk] = i.[pk]
This update statement fires the update trigger on [tblA] -- that's what I'd like to avoid.
New Member
23 Apr 2008 11:28 AM
Sorry, I misread your question. I need the update trigger -- there are certain things that are supposed to happen only on update.
New Member
24 Apr 2008 07:27 AM
I want to reliably intercept insert statements no matter where they come from (a stored proc, an ad-hoc SQL, etc.)
New Member
24 Apr 2008 08:17 AM
So just exit the UPDATE trigger if INSERT is being performed.

Right hand pitcher Alexi Ogando is an enigma. Ever since his major league debut in 2010, the 29 year-old has been toying with the hearts of the front office and fans alike. In one appearance, Ogando will shut down an opponentŌĆÖs offense with an upper 90ŌĆ▓s fastball and power slider and in his next appearance he will labor through stressful innings with zero command of the strike zone. What else can the Rangers expect from a guy whose career has more up and downs than the Texas Giant? Ogando first broke into the big leagues in 2010 after a 5 year ban from the U.S. for his involvement in a human trafficking ring. Since that time, the former outfielder has had his share of ups and downs. After a successful rookie campaign as a reliever (4-1, 1.30 ERA, 2.08 BAA) Ogando was converted to the starting rotation just before the start of the 2011 regular season after starter Tommy Hunter was lost to injury. Through the first half of the 2011 season, Ogando posted a 9-3 record with a 2.92 ERA an...

Strategic Interaction in Local Fiscal Policy: Evidence from Portuguese Municipalities
This paper aims at testing the degree of interaction between Portuguese municipalities' expenditure levels by estimating a dynamic panel model, based on jurisdictional reaction functions. The analysis is performed for all 278 Portuguese mainland municipalities from 1986 to 2006, using alternative ways to measure neighbourhood. Results indicate that local governments' spending decisions are significantly influenced by the actions of neighbouring municipalities. For total expenditures, there is evidence that a 10% increase in nearby municipalities' expenditures boosts expenditures in a given municipality by around 3.8%.

I guess cruise lines are getting with the program!!
I just returned from a 7 day cruise to Alaska on the Star Princess - Princess Cruise line.
Like Celebrity - it seems like the staff on Princess are very knowledgeable about gluten free. On the first day of the cruise, the head waiter met me and discussed my dinner options. Each evening thereafter, he would bring the next day's menus, so that I could pre-order lunch and dinner. When I would show up the next day, I would tell the wait staff my cabin number - and my meal was ready for me. Each meal, while the rest of my family had dinner rolls, I was provided gluten free bread. I was told that any pasta dish could be made with gluten free pasta - and that it was safely prepared separately.
I felt very comfortable eating fruit and cheese from the buffet. There were ample selections to choose from off the menus as well. I packed a bunch of Kind bars - just in case, but I had no need for them.
I ate very well - maybe too well ( flourless chocolate cake, and lots of ice cream!)

Decided I would go ahead and get this little project knocked out since my center shafts haven't come in yet.
I had a small chunk of aluminum plate lying around here so i trimmed it up and bolted it to the drivers side floor pan through the battery compartment.
I'll be sticking to a single Lipo pack...so that compartment won't be used anyway...and the Lipo pack on the passenger side should be just about a perfect counterweight for the camera which doesn't weigh much.
I didn't want to mount it on top for fear of it being (1) too top heavy,and (2) having a bunch of vibration being mounted to the thin plastic body of the truck.
I thought about mounting it on the back right above the roof...but this thing wheelies too easy already and doesn't need any more help from more weight on the back.lol.
Third choice would have been on the front...but I wanted some portion of the truck to be visible in any video i shoot.
Therefore I decided the side was the best location for what I wanted.
If it ends up being too heavy on the drivers side,I already have a solution planned.
When I cut out the bracket,I also cut out a mirror image one for the other side...and can get some flat carriage bolts to mount it and still leave room in the compartment for the battery pack.
I can add counterweights to this bracket to balance the truck.
Anyway...here's the pics.
Sorry...no video yet.
I'll get some asap.

40 year old man | Marina del Rey, CA, USA | Seeking women 18-40 within 50 miles
Mickey seeking Mallory.. ;)
Hello Ladies, and thank you for stopping by! :) I am fairly new to California, having recently moved to Marina Del Rey, from Chicago. I work as an audio engineer in recording studios, and I run sound for live shows. My career suits me very well. I absolutely love music, and have been playing guitar, bass, and drums, since I was a child. I'm currently taking classes to become certified to do post production audio for tv and movies. One dream that I have, is to compose and arrange score music for movies! My interests include : Music, travel, sports, biking, running, shopping, and exploring new places. I love to go out and discover new restaurants too. Guess, you could say that I'm a bit of a foodie! Lol. I'm Italian, so it's safe to assume that I know my way around the kitchen! I absolutely love to cook! As much as I love to eat, it's a good thing that I enjoy going to the gym, and keeping myself active and healthy. I need all the energy that I can get, so that I can work hard, in order to be able to play hard! I am really a very happy, and fun guy. Now that I'm in my 30's, I've managed to smooth out most of my rough edges, although I still have enough of a wild streak in me to keep things interesting, spontaneous, and exciting! I am looking to meet a woman, with similar interests. I would love to meet someone, and develop a healthy and successful relationship with her. The woman, that I'm looking for, will be smart and confident, with a relaxed attitude, and a willingness to communicate and compromise. Honesty, trust, integrity, kindness, and self-respect are the qualities that I'm looking for. I know it's a tall order, but I offer the same, in return. I really have no use for overly critical and judgemental people, and while I appreciate physical beauty, as much as the next man, I could never be with a snotty bitch, no matter how physically beautiful she may be. (Wow... I can't believe that I actually used the phrase, "snotty bitch," in my dating site profile! Lol) Haha... Well, what can I say... I've gotta keep it real, because I'm looking for someone real, so that together, we can build something real! Anyways, thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I wish everyone on this site the best of luck in finding what you're looking for! :-)

31 year old man | Greenwood, IN, USA | Seeking women 25-35 within 50 miles of Indianapolis, IN
Active within 24 hours
Looking for something serious!
Hi, my name is Wes. I am for the most part a laid back man, with a great sense of humor, who values family and friends, while trying to build a successful career. Family is very important to me, seeing as I would not be where I am at today in my life without the support of my family. I have 6 neices and nephews and absolutely love the time I get to spend with them seeing as how I'm still the cool uncle! I enjoy trying new experiences, I will try just about anything once just to say I have done it. I also enjoy playing and listening to music. I have been playing the piano for around 20 years and have played the guitar for around 5 years. In my free time, besides music, I enjoy spending my time doing low key things. I like to go out to resturants but at the same time like spending a relaxing evening at home watching a movie and cooking dinner. I am like most typical guys I do like watching sports and going to sporting events, however they do not dominate my free time or the only thing I watch on TV. I do like a good glass of wine or a cold beer on occassion. I have gone to a few wineries for wine tastings but would also like to go to a brewery and try some good craft beers.I try to stay active but sometimes it just feels as there are not enough hours in the day. I am looking for something serious, with no games. I am at a point in my life where I am looking to settle down, share my life with someone. My ideal match would be someone who is kind, funny, caring, truthful, affectionate, and who has goals. I don't think I'm asking for too much and I have faith that there is someone out there looking for the same thing! Feel free to message me if you think we would be a good match. Look forward to hearing from you!

Spring Snow For the Jersey Shore
The way this winter played out it should come as no surprise that snow is in the forecast for the first week of spring.
The way this winter played out it should come as no surprise that snow is in the forecast for the first week of spring.
In my mind, and in the minds of thousands around the Garden State this was one brutal winter, but when you look at the stats, it doesn't really rank up there at all.
At exactly 12:57 this afternoon our unwanted guest yet constant companion, Winter 2014, will be history.
The National Weather Service is saying a winter storm will likely hit Monmouth/Ocean late Sunday into Monday. But, how much snow can the Shore expect?
If you're like me, the wind woke you up more than once last night. So just how windy and cold will it be today in Monmouth and Ocean Counties?
The clocks have sprung ahead in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, but we all know it's not officially spring yet. So does winter have another nasty day in store for us this week?
As I sit here on another cold morning of Winter 2014 I started to wonder if The Farmers' Almanac predicted this wicked winter in New Jersey.
We're always in a hurry and we're always running late. Welcome to a little piece of paradise called New Jersey!
As we wake up this morning, there may be less snow on the ground than you might have expected, and that's good news, but it's not over yet.
I'm not a winter guy to start with so I'm especially happy to say goodbye to the weather of February of 2014.
Maybe for just a minute last weekend, you allowed yourself to think it might be over. If you thought Winter 2014 might be winding down, you thought too soon.
New Jersey faces a slippery commute from this morning's snow.

Program: Lessons from the Real World
Learning to read, do math and other subjects happens when students care about what they are learning, rather than drilling them with subject matter largely divorced from their real lives. This engaging documentary provides a first hand look at K-12 schools and classes that weave community and societal problem solving through their curriculum as a way of both preparing students for active participation in democratic society, as well as motivating them to learn basic skills as part of a meaningful educational experience.Tags:

Why Lieberman And Webb Voted No
July 27, 2012
Talking Point Memo's Brian Beutler argues, persuasively, that this week's tax cut votes in the Senate were a bigger deal than most of us realized. The Republicans voted to extend the Bush tax cuts for everybody, and the Democrats voted to extend them only for family income up to $250,000. It was so obvious that neither bill was going anywhere that the Republicans didn't bother to filibuster. Predictably, the Republican bill failed, 45-54, and the Democratic bill—which has no chance of clearing the Republican-controlled House—passed, 51-48.

Senate Democrats, Not That Stupid After All
October 12, 2011
Maybe Senate Democrats aren't so stupid after all. On Tuesday evening 51 Senators* voted to end debate on President Obama's job bill, so that it could come to a vote. But although that 51 constitutes a majority of the Senate, it's well short of the 60 necessary to break filibusters. And the Republicans, as always, are filibustering. That 51 does not represent the full caucus. Two conservative Democrats facing reelection, Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Jon Tester of Montana, voted with the Republicans.
Conservative Democrats Strike Again (Updated)
September 14, 2011
If you've read this blog lately, you've read a lot of criticism of Republicans for talking economic nonsense, placing their political fortunes ahead of the country's good, or some combination of the two. But sometimes Democrats, particularly conservative Democrats, do the same things. And now is one of those times. Mary Landrieu and Jim Webb – I'm looking at you. An article by Manu Raju, in Politico, quotes the three senators criticizing Obama's jobs proposal.
Southern Comfort
June 09, 2011
By his own account, George Allen didn't have much fun in his first and only term in the U.S. Senate, which, he once complained, moves "at the pace of a wounded sea slug." Even less fun, however, was the dramatic flameout that took place during his 2006 campaign for reelection. First, New Republic reporter Ryan Lizza discovered a high school yearbook photo featuring a teenage Allen with a Confederate flag pin attached to his collar. Then, a few months later, Allen was caught on tape calling a South Asian Democratic campaign worker "macaca." Suddenly, Allen had a race problem.
Defending Obama on Taxes
December 07, 2010
Why is Obama giving Republicans an extension of upper income tax cuts when polls show Americans overwhelmingly oppose them? Maybe because those polls don't translate into leverage on Capitol Hill. Political scientist and blogger Brendan Nyhan makes the case: First, public opinion in more conservative states is likely to be less favorable to Obama's original position than national polls.
A Liberal Disappointed With Obama Explains Why
September 10, 2010
A few days ago I wrote about the bizarre sense of disappointment among liberals with the Obama administration, which has rung up the most impressive list of progressive domestic achievements since the Johnson administration. A reader who would like to withhold his name for professional reasons has a thoughtful reply. I'm posting it here, with my own thoughts hopefully to follow next week: What I found frustrating was the claim that the "sheer sullenness of the liberal base does seem to be avoidable and puzzling," which echoes the views Allen & VandeHei attribute this a.m.

Of course, doing Pong a lot with the bot will give you plenty of botLevel and the relevant botOp, so there's no problem there. I've gotten a lot of use out of the bot doing games I suck at.

Customer Reviews of Retro Duo Twin NES and SNES Console - Red/Black
Great Purchase11/1/2010
It is so wonderful to have this new RETRO NES/SNES machine. My husband and I have renewed our interest in the games I collected before I had a computer. Yours was the BEST PRICE on-line. And the fact that it now connects with A/V cables instead of an RF SWITCH is even better for our new LSD TV. Thank you.
Old school gaming at its best.10/21/2010
Very simple device and support both old school games and plays them all with no problem. Awesome to get a blast from the past once in a while.
Pretty good - 3.5 actually10/21/2010
Unit arrived earlier than expected. It plays the games with virtually no problem although because the controllers are of SNES format, playing regular nintendo games is a little confusing button wise. Also, there is a 2 inch thick "static" line down the middle of the screen for every game. Not sure if that is unit, game, or TV problem. Lastly, and most importantly, the controllers are of poor quality. Especially on the "D-Pad" (up, down, left, right). We make due by using actual SNES controller of much better feel and quality. Other than those things, great to play the games we grew up with. My girlfriend "saves the princess every time". :)
Exactly as expected8/10/2009
It does just what it's supposed to do: it plays SNES and NES games. Technically, I haven't tried to use it for any of my NES games, but I did check the system with a few different SNES games. Contra III, Battletoads, and Mega Man X all played fine. It's pretty easy to operate, switch up for NES, down for SNES. It's doesn't fail to meet expectations, nor does it really exceed them. I mostly got it because having just the one console, for one, saves the condition of my original consoles, and for two, takes up less space. If that's what you're looking for, then this is the product for you.1 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 6/21/12
OAKLAND There's a side effect that comes with winning the Cy Young Award: dealing with its lofty expectations afterward. Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw won the award in the National League last year, and although he's having a reasonably good season in 2012, Kershaw has "seemed frustrated at times this year," Manager Don Mattingly said. Kershaw pitched well again Thursday in the Dodgers' 4-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics. The left-hander gave up one run and struck out seven in eight innings, leaving with no decision. He remained 5-3 with an earned-run average of 2.73, and Mattingly said he looked "as good as he's been all year." Before the game, Mattingly said that Kershaw, 24, "expects so much out of himself" and that he had talked with his pitcher about those expectations. "He puts so much pressure on himself to be really good," Mattingly said. "He seems frustrated sometimes, like he's not having any fun." Mattingly said there's also a public perception in some quarters that "...

I'm a WP noob, but the following post that says that register_globals should be OFF for WordPress, not on.
UPDATE: I've read several other old posts on the subject, and apparently there was a WP security exploit in August, 2005, that could only do damage if register_globals was set to ON. Almost immediately, a new version of WP was released to fix the problem, and ever since then, it has been recommended that register_globals be set to OFF, not just for WP, but because register_globals causes security issues for a lot of scripts if it is set to on.
WP experts, did I summarize all of that correctly?
any idea what this would mean?
my webhost upgraded php from 4.1 to 4.6 and now all my php scripts just show the source and not render properly. I was told to make it work to turn on register_globals.
Thought that was a basic no no with php?
Tell them if you can see all the PHP code instead of being parsed - they screwed up something during the upgrade.
its a vps account and they say it's my responsibility to configure it correctly. Although their the one that wrote the upgrade script for apache and php.
They're telling me to turn on register_globals or fix the script's code to complay with php 4.3 as far as variables being passed with GET and POST.
"The PHP issues you are experiencing are due to code. PHP is working on the server."
Although all I did was upgrade php and did nothing to the files.
Here's what i did and the update....
I asked my webhost to upgrade apache to 2.x and php 4.3.x
After it was complete my wordpress website stopped working. I get this http://www.kensavage.com/ and http://www.kensavage.com/wp-admin/ but php works ok http://www.kensavage.com/info.php
I even uploaded fresh files to one of the sites and nothing. I had a friend of mine who's a unix sys admin look at the server side of things and he says everythig should work ok. It's just wordpress not working for this upgrade.
Is there anything I can test or any suggestions?
Update: while doing a fresh install on a new domain and database I get to this point in the install and it just stops.
Second Step
Now we're going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data....
php files have proper permissions to be read and index.php is listed as a starting file for default fodler files in httpd.conf.
I GIVE UP. almost.
YOu can toggle register_globals on and off by using .htaccess file in your root folder
php_flag register_globals on
php_flag register_globals off
I tried that and they shouldn't be on for anything but when I did turn them on it didn't make a difference.
php files render ok but it seems like WP php files dont want to execute.
http://kensavage.com/info.php works ok but not http://kensavage.com/wp-admin
Have you checked the error_log and the permissions on the php files that won't run?
yes I have and they aren't telling me anything unusual or problematic.
Permissions are set to what all other php files are. It's just that the wp- files are not rendering.
I'm going to try a different webhost.

53 year old man | Knoxville, TN, USA | Seeking women 35-50 within 90 miles
Active within 1 week
You'll never find the right one while you're with the wrong one.
I had decided a while back that it was time to give up on online dating, when I had a conversation with my friend, Amy, in Chattanooga. She said, "Kevin, before you give up, go back and write a new profile, explaining exactly who you are looking for. Since Amy fell in love with a really great guy on here, I decided to take her advice. So here goes: My profile is not a load of crap. I really am a somewhat popular speaker and writer. In some worlds, I'm a pseudo-celebrity. Not here in my hometown of Knoxville, but in places where I travel and work. My problem is that I meet wonderful women all over the map, but what I want is someone of my own. I had pretty much given up on the idea that I could find someone at home. It just doesn't seem to happen. Then I had the conversation with my friend - actually, two friends, this weekend. And both convinced me to not give up quite yet. So that's it. Apparently, I'm very fun, much younger than my age (which I'm told is a good thing), incredibly romantic and - I keep being told, "way deeper" than other men, whatever that means. So I'm looking for someone who is energetic, fun, active, has a faith of some kind and loves the idea of hopping in a car or on a plane at the last minute and taking off for a day or two or five of fun. I rejoined and added this profile about two months ago. Since then, I've dated two girls from here. It didn't take long to figure out I was the "spare" in the "pair and a spare" scenario for both of them. Even tho both wanted to continue after a couple of dates, I quickly realized I was one of many. Oh well. I suppose I really should stick to dating people I meet in everyday life. But we all have our dreams.

Middle of the Road
If there's a beach, I love it. Love the mountains, too. I kind of fall in love with just about every place I go. And I go a lot of places.
I really love walking the beach. I know that sounds stupid, but I've visited ten beaches already this summer. I'm easy going. Like a lot of activities.
I love to travel. Roadtrips are one of my passions. Getting out and being with people is what I love.

Canada to Panama.
Hey Ya all. My Name is Randy. 34 yrs old and gonna be living my dream! have been thinking about doing this ride for a few years now. It has finally come to pass. I Trucked My 2008 KLR 650 from Calgary, Alberta where I live to Vancouver, B.C. where the weather is a bit more rider friendly this time of year. I left Vancouver today Dec the 8th.
I have very few plans, and no schedule. I just wanna ride. I Just have to be back to Work my the end of March. So that should get me enought time to get down to Panama. My plan is to sell the bike down there and fly home. If anyone has had any experiece with that or know of anyone that wants to take over from there, feels free to send me a message.
Looking forward to meeting other riders along the way, share some plans and hopefully ride together for extra safety.
I will be riding down the coast then cut accross to Arizone and cross the border from there. I did the Baja A few years ago on my Sport Bike (Yamaha R1) and looking to take a different route this time.
Will post pics as I go.
Panama Bound
Good for ya mate and looking forward to your ride. Also smart taking the coast in our weather up north here in WA, the temps will be a little warming on those mornings closer to the water and so the ice shouldn't be a problem yet like it is already here in Wenatchee. Dial 511 in WA and it gives you Department of Transportation info on your roadways and alerts. I'm in!:kumbaya
Hey Randy,
Hope you are familiar with Horizons Unlimited site. You should be able to find out what's involved in selling your bike in Panama and where other travellers are on the road in relation to you.
Enjoy your trip.
Hi from a Canadian in Panama
Hi Randy
I'm in Panama City this morning. I rode my KLR down from Atlantic Canada. The bike is on it's way today to Bogata and I am too.
Here is a link to my ride report. Feel free to PM me anytime.
Have a great trip!
South from Phoenix
Hey man,
I'm riding a KLR from Portland to Panama. In Phoenix now, but leaving tomorrow and crossing the border at Nogales on Tuesday morning. Sounds like you're not far behind. My RR is in my sig. Maybe we can meetup sometime and ride south together. lev
ya 0theories I am following your ride already. Hope to run into you somewhere along the way.
I'm in
subscibed, ontario freezing rain today, take us some place warm and be safe.
Don't forget pics...have fun and be safe..
And just ride!!!
Sent from YoMama
Hey there. I look forward to following your rr. I will be about 11 months behind you. I hope to leave the middle of next November. I am going alone but look forward to meeting other riders along the way.
When you get to Panama I can help you out with storage, paperwork and selling the bike. I have imported several different vehicles into Panama for myself and helped others with the same. I also imported most of my house that i started building in 2000 (ICF). I have a very trustworthy lawyer that can handle all the paperwork. My next trip is on December 31st and it will be my 30th trip to the country since 2006.
If nothing else I can offer you storage for the bike and if you like, a place to hang your hat for a few days in the apartment at my house. I am off the beaten path about 10 minutes East of Las Tablas in the Provence of Los Santos. The beach is called Playa Uverito.
Lots of local places to eat within a 10 minute walk of my shack on the beach. You are out in the open with all the locals. It is not a gated community or a tourist trap.
PM me if you have any other questions or if I can help you out.
All I ask for in return is that you allow me to pick your brain for info on your ride down to help me out with my trip. Ohh.........and one other thing, the rent for the apartment is very steep. We would like any of our guests to purchase any type of home decor or any little accent to leave at our house so that every decoration in it will eventually have a unique story to tell. Hope that is not to steep!
Hope I can help
Thanks and safe travels
Hey there Randy! I met you at The Rock Store this afternoon with UpST8.
It was great talking to you, wish I had the time to make that kind of trip! I am going to begin planning a dream journey for a couple years down the road soon, where to I have no idea!
If you need anything at all do not hesitate to contact me, it takes a lot of courage to do a trip like that on your own. I will be following your trip from here. Have a terrific time, safe travels, and a great holiday!
Hey Randy :wave
Very cool to run into you today!! Best of luck in your adventure!!
Rock Store on Mulholland Highway
Me too
My riding buddy ADV Fool and I will be heading down to Panama a couple of months after you. Possibly meet up with you before you head back home. Have a great adventure and be safe
THANKS GUYS. It was great running into you guys at the Rock Store.

Well for some reason you think I'm always busting your chops? But what the hell are you thinking I'm just kidding but I'm going to give my $.02 anyway.
I would have left the selector, rear sight and slant brake black so they would blend in with the furniture.
OK I said what I was thinking, I'm out'ta here before you start punching the talking box.

I'm mostly a slide shooter, though I'm starting to appreciate B&W and put the occasional roll of B&W through the camera. Slides are for projection in my opinion, but they're kind of like sports cars - they look great, but if you don't know how to drive them, you may very well end up in the ditch.
Modern meters on cameras do very well determining exposure for slide film. Heck, a center-weighted or averaging meter can do well with it.

Jimmy Saville to be revealed as a paedophile? (Part 7)

Demonising those who are attracted to underage teenagers and children and making the whole subject a huge taboo does absolutely nothing to reduce the amount of child abuse and may in fact be making things even worse.
Alan Bennett did a Talking Heads piece which I thought was very brave for the time. It involved a Park Attendant who was attracted to young children and was acted by the Thin Blue Line detective/new Yes Prime Minister actor, who incidentally must also have been quite brave himself to play such a role.
I believe Alan Bennett may have written about the subject elsewhere in his writings. I will check it out later.
Meanwhile, from Wikipedia:
David Haig plays Wilfred Paterson in "Playing Sandwiches"
Wilfred is, we discover over time, a reformed paedophile living under a false identity and working as a much-praised maintenance man in a public park. However, as a superior begins to pressure him for bureaucratic historical information to include in his personnel file, the pressure causes Wilfred to resume his old ways with horrifying results. Incarcerated, he contemplates his condition, remarking 'It's the one part of my life that feels right... and that's the bit that's wrong.'

George O'Leary said
he hopes to settle on his depth chart for UCF's season opener against
South Carolina State by Wednesday or Thursday.
Redshirt freshman
quarterback Nate Tice has decided to transfer from the UCF program in
order to find an opportunity where he will receive more playing time.
Senior LB
Cory Hogue
will likely be sidelined for a few weeks with a leg
injury. Sophomore DE Darius Nall is expected to join the team on Aug.
22. He is recovering from surgery to remove a growth in his chest.
The Knights will
have a decal on their helmets this season honoring teammate Ereck
who died
March 18th, collapsing after a workout in preparation for the opening of
the Knights' spring practice. The autopsy revealed Plancher
had a sickle-cell trait, a medical condition that could cause death under
when exposed to physical stress.
The plan for
Saturday's scrimmage was to start filling out ECU's depth chart.
"The biggest competition going on right now
is between the seconds and thirds, who's going to make up the list,"
said fourth year head coach Skip Holtz, "With as many players as we have
with returning experience, a lot of those positions are kind of set."
"Today really wasn't about where we stood as an offense, today
was about trying to fit the pieces of the puzzle around those guys that
are already cemented in as starters."
Holtz said his
team's biggest concern at this point in the season is the kicking game.
Matt Dodge, Ben Ryan and Nathan
Przestrzelski are sharing the place-kicking duties for the Pirates
because kicker Ben Hartman is nursing an injury.
Season tickets are
close to sellout, according to sources less than 500 tickets remain.
John McCain spent about 20 minutes with
the Marshall University football team Wednesday and he received a
Marshall jersey with a number 1 on it, got a chance to call a few plays
with the team, and spoke to the players about his time as a prisoner of
war in Vietnam.
The Herd defense
will be going through numerous changes this season with new defensive
coordinator Rick Minter. "We're throwing a lot of stuff on the wall
right now and we're going to figure out what sticks, and that's what
we'll go with. But we're very diversified on defense" Coach Snyder
commenting on new coordinator Rick Minter's defense.
Senior DT Montel
Glasco is expected to be sidelined at least three games after tearing a
rotator cuff while lifting weights. Junior CB Zearrick Matthews will
miss the first two games with a broken bone in his foot.
the first week of fall camp, Memphis coach
Tommy West
said Saturday he was relatively pleased. "We've gotten a lot done in a
week,'' West said. ''For what we've asked out of them so far, it's been
good." West should know more about his team after evaluating Monday's
key members of the football team -- running back
T.J. Pitts (ankle) and linebacker
Josh Weaver
(shoulder) -- continue to rehabilitate from offseason surgeries.
Johnson announced Friday that $1.5 million -- or about half the cost --
has been raised toward the construction of a 12,000 square-foot weight
room for the football team. The project, which will be privately funded,
will be part of a $10 million fund-raising campaign that will include a
covered indoor practice field.
First-year coach
Larry Fedora was disappointed in speed during 1st scrimmage Saturday.
Quickness that is required for his fast-paced spread offense. "It's a
mental deal. We were very slow," Fedora said after the closed scrimmage,
"We wanted to find out where we were, we did that."
Southern Miss is
expected to pass the school record for season football tickets this week
with about 10,500 sold as of Friday.
In UAB's first
scrimmage the Blazers ran the ball with success. "I think the first
offense did a good job against the second defense, scored a lot of
points and had a lot of big plays," said UAB coach Neil Callaway. "I'm
not really sure how many points the second offense scored but the first
defense has got to play better. For the second offense to be that
effective against our first defense, that's not good."
Senior receiver
Sylvester Mencer had surgery on his left shoulder and could be out the
entire season. Mencer who appeared in 11 games in 2007 could medical
redshirt 2008.
By Bryan Finck
Tulsa – Running
back Tarrion Adams was recently named to the watch list for the Doak
Walker Award, which is given every year to the most outstanding running
back in the country. Adams joins such BCS-league stars as Chris Wells
from Ohio State and Georgia's Knowshon Moreno.
Adams saw plenty of
action this week but went down with a right leg injury in the third
quarter and did not play for the rest of the game. No word on the
severity of the injury as of yet. Tulsa also had starting Free Safety
Charles Davis leave the game in the first quarter with an unspecified
injury. He did not return to the game.
Houston – During
this week's victory over Southern, Cougars' starting OL Mike Bloesch
hyperextended his knee and left the game. Afterwards, Bloesch said his
knee felt fine and he anticipates being able to play against Oklahoma
State this week.
When SirVincent Rogers,
talented OL for the Cougars, goes up against Oklahoma State, he can be
forgiven for having some bad memories. In 2006, Rogers tore all three
major ligaments in his knee in a game against Oklahoma State. That was
his last football game until he suited up this past Saturday for the
Cougars' season opener against Southern University.
Rice –Owls' QB
Chase Clement and WR Jarett Dillard now have a total of 35 touchdown
connections in their careers, putting them 3 touchdowns short of tying
the all time career record for touchdowns from a QB/WR combination.
Jarett Dillard is on
the verge of becoming the NCAA all-time leading touchdown receiver. The
current record-holder is Troy Davis, with 50 touchdowns. Dillard now
sits at 43 touchdowns for his career.
SMU – Despite
his true freshman quarterback's four interceptions in the season opening
loss, June Jones is sticking with his man going forward. Jones believes
the young QB will get better and says the rest of the team needs to get
better around him.
The Mustangs will be
looking for their first win in more than a year on Saturday, against a
team that represents their best chance for such an outcome. Texas State
comes into Dallas and the Mustang fans hope to celebrate for once
against an opponent that June Jones hopes will be easier to stop than
the Rice Owls proved to be this past Saturday.
Tulane –
Tulane's opening game against Alabama was never going to be easy, but
weather has made it even more difficult than normal. With New Orleans
anticipating a possible direct hit from Hurricane Gustav, the football
team has evacuated New Orleans, arriving in Birmingham at the campus of
Samford University on Saturday afternoon. The Green Wave will practice
at Samford's stadium and will use all of the school's facilities to get
ready to face the Crimson Tide on Saturday.
UTEP – The
Miners got an extra practice day thanks to their Thursday game against
Buffalo, and they used it to work on the many problems that arose from
the opener. Said Mike Price, "We've got to learn from the mistakes, and
there's a lot to learn from…". The general feeling is that a lot has to
change for the Miners to keep pace with the Longhorns coming up this
UTEP is hoping a trend
in recent years plays out this year. In 2000 and 2004, when the Miners
lost their opening game of the season, the team went on to record 8-4
records in the end.

"Education is our passport to the future for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today."
— Malcolm X
Passport is an innovative, residential program designed to acclimate first-year students to the challenging academic life of the College of the Holy Cross. Each year Admissions and Academic Services invite selected in-coming students to participate in Passport. Students who accept our invitation to join Passport are expected to complete all three components of the program.
The program has three components:
- Summer Passport - held for three weeks in August before classes begin
- Fall Passport - meet regularly with the Passport Director and participate in academic workshops and the Mentor Program for ALANA, International and Passport students.
- January Retreat - Two days before the start of the spring semester, students get away to reflect on the fall term and prepare for the challenges of the spring term.
Invitations for eligible students in the Class of 2019 were mailed in March, along with their Admissions decisions.

Iowa Senior
40: 4.80 (estimated)
Has a good arm and gets good zip on most of his throws. Does a good job moving and sliding around the pocket, avoiding pressure. Can get outside, extend the play, and throws on the run. Does a nice job standing tough in the pocket and will take the hit and deliver the throw as well. Manages the game well. Shows ability to make nice reads with blitzed. Shows ability to check down and go to his second progression.
Decision making can dip at times. Not super accurate or wow you with his arm. Tends to force throws into coverage and tight windows downfield, leading to turnovers, and lacks the arm to really do so. At times seems to press in pressure situations. Doesn't always set his feet and will miss throws from time to time. Will throw across his body at times when rolling outside the pocket, and needs to do a better job squaring his shoulders to improve his accuracy on the run. At times needs to be smarter when giving up on a play and throwing it away.
Stanzi arguably showed the most improvement of any senior QB in the country this year from last year to this. Last year, while he was considered a winner and playmaker, he made a lot of bad decisions. Iowa began his junior year 9-0 until a sprained ankle cost him 2.5 games late in the year. This past year was by far his best, producing an 8-5 record with 64.1% completions on 345 attempts, 3004 yards, 25 TDs, 6 INTs, and 2 more rushing TDs. As a junior, he finished with a 10-1 record as a starter, completing 56.2% of 304 attempts for 2417 yards, 17 TDs, and 15 INTs. As a junior, he started 11 of 13 games, compiling an 8-3 record as a starter with 59.1% completions on 254 attempts, 1956 yards, 14 TDs, and 9 INTs.
Stanzi reminds me a lot of Tony Romo when I watch him play, mainly because he has a good, but not great arm, and his mobility. He's really improved his ability to manage the game and not make the criticial mistakes, although you see flashes of that gambling streak in him when he's asked to throw downfield. It certainly doesn't hurt that he has two solid veteran receivers to catch passes from him, which probably limited the number of turnovers he could have committed as a senior. But you like the fact that he was able to play within the system, manage the game, and allow Iowa's strong rushing attack and defense to do most of the work. He was able to still make plays of course and was much more consistent and efficient. But I have the feeling that if too much is put on his plate early in his career, he'll crumble under the pressure. I think long-term, Stanzi projects better as an NFL backup than a starter. But I do think like Romo in Dallas under Jason Garrett, if he gets three years to learn a system, he can be capable in running it. But like Romo, I think there will be questions of whether he has the innate leadership ability to be a top-level passer or whether or not he's more a product of the talent around him. That seemed to be the case at Iowa, and I don't expect it to change. I like Stanzi, and like Romo with a strong supporting cast around him he can be an above average to good starter and playoff-caliber passer. But he's not a championship caliber guy, and most NFL teams should really target him as a backup with the hope that he can be a nice developmental option and insurance policy down the road. Any team that drafts him with the intention that he should be pushing and challenging for a starting position before his third year is probably setting him up for failure.
Stanzi projects well as a backup in Atlanta, and reminds me a bit of Chris Redman, although I'm not sure his arm is quite as good. But he's more mobile than Redman. I think he could give Wilson a serious run for his money right off the bat if not be the favorite and be a nice middle round trade option down the road if he can get some opportunities to fill in for an injured Ryan three or so years down the line.
While he does have starting potential, he's unlikely to realize it until his second contract, I think a team is better off taking him in the fourth round. But a team that is desperate for some help/depth wouldn't be crazy for snagging him at the end of the third.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Arm Strength: 3.5
Accuracy: 2.5
Mobility: 3.5
Decision Making: 2.5
Mechanics: 3.0
Pocket Awareness: 4.0
Intangibles: 2.5
