Although she's not officially hired or anything as of now, Simon Cowell has revealed who he thinks would be a great host for the upcoming season of The X Factor and he says that she is definitely up there in the running for the job.
Cowell obviously has a lot of pull and influence in who the network will end up selecting. Some of the rumored names that have been floating around have included Chrissy Teigen, Kevin McHale and Miley Cyrus, but one other name is buzzing around a lot more and it seems likely that she could very well be it. Yes, she… There's your first hint.
Simon has also stressed the importance of having a connection with the others involved (ie. the judges) and this person does have a connection to Britney Spears and Demi Lovato, and Simon apparently loved her spunk as well. Find out who the rumored host is below.
Last year, Forbes Magazine named Eva Longoria and Tina Fey as the two highest paid actresses on television with $13 million each. Even though they're still raking in the cash with Longoria at $15 million this year and Fey at $11 million, they had to relinquish the crown. Watch out people, there's a new rich bitch in town and her name is Sofia Vergara.
The "Modern Family" actress is having a great couple of days. First, she topped Forbes annual Highest-Paid TV Actresses list, but she also scored another Emmy nomination, making it her straight nod. Not only is she gorgeous, talented, but she also has a huge bank account. Forbes estimates her net earnings for the past year at $19 million. With her multiple endorsement deals, own Kmart clothing line and role on the ABC comedy, it's no surprise she's on top. Congrats.
Coming in at second, is actress (and I use that term loosely) Kim
Kardashian Voldemort. I will not speak her name on the site ;) The other half of Kimye earned an estimated $18 million. How is it that this talentless hack earns so much yearly. People, stop watching her show. I beg of you. Rounding out the Top 5 are Longoria who drops to third this year with $15 million, new talk show host Bethenny Frankel at $12 million and the only Kardashian offspring I like, Khloe with $11 million. Check out the entire Top 20 list below.
Now I know some of you dislike the Kardashians so I am much more selective about what I post about them. Well, in this preview for Oprah's interview with the entire Kardashian family, she absolutely does not hold back. I freaking love her.
Mamma O asks if Kim Kardashian would be where she is today without the sex tape, how she feels when people say her last marriage was a stunt, and much more. She even asks Kris Jenner if there ever was a point where she asked herself, "Am I pimping my kids?" LOL. Yes, she went there. She also asks, "How much of it is real?"
Towards the end of the preview, we see Oprah asking the gang, "You think you're famous for… what?" These are tough questions for them and I'm glad she didn't hold back! I'm actually very curious to see how they answer these questions and how honest and genuine their answers seem. Check out the preview below to see for yourself and be sure to tune into Oprah's Next Chapter this Sunday to see it all go down.
As much as people like to hate on this "overexposed" family, they have a lot of fun together and I for one wouldn't hesitate in joining them in one of their videos – LOL. Remember when I posted about Kris Jenner's "I Love My Friends" video? Absolutely ridiculous, but clearly the daughters take after her. Although it often looks like they take themselves so seriously, these types of videos show that they actually don't and they are not above participating in these silly videos with their younger siblings/daughters.
Last Summer, Kendall & Kylie Jenner uploaded a family video of the whole crew lip syncing to Katy Perry's "E.T." song. The whole family was on vacation and the video even included Scott Disick, Lamar Odom, and Kris Humphries.
This latest lip sync video was also uploaded on Kendall & Kylie's YouTube account, with the caption reading, "We shot this video last year at our family Christmas Card shoot!" The song is 'Lady Marmalade' by Christina Aguilera, Pink, Mya, and Lil Kim.
I love Forbes because they can make a list like this and it's supes totes official. The magazine has just released their list of the Top 10 Most Overexposed Celebrities. The list was created based on a survey conducted in conjunction with E-Poll Research.
The names on the list are certainly ones you'd expect to see on a list like this, although some I was a little surprised to see because they aren't as much "in the news" as they used to be a few years ago. The rankings take into account almost 50 factors, including personality traits, likeability and awareness. Over 6,600 celebrities were on the list that is now comprised of the Top 10.
Despited being "overexposed," it's not necessarily a bad thing as E-Poll CEO Gerry Philpott explains: ""A decade ago being overexposed was the kiss of death. But today it's necessary to fuel reality TV," he says. "If you want to be a serious movie actress maybe you don't want high overexposed numbers, but if you're going to be a successful reality star, you need those numbers." Find out who the Top 10 below.
During MTV's New Year's Eve telecast last night, the network revealed the premiere date for the return of Punk'd. The celebrity prank show will be re-launch Monday, March 19. In the past, the show was hosted by Ashton Kutcher. Now, the show will be hosted different celebrities each time. The first batch of celeb hosts include Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Kellan Lutz, Bam Margera and Dax Shepard, who you may recall appeared in the original series.
In the preview below, we get a preview of Miley Cyrus and Kelly Osbourne "punking" Khloe Kardashian – amazing. It has to do with someone getting testicles stuck in their zipper.
Having always been a prankster myself, I'm definitely looking forward to the return of this show. I also love the concept of having different hosts. I can only take so much of Ashton Kutcher these days, so this will be perfect.
For the last few years, one thing we can look forward to just before Christmas kicks into full gear is the highly anticipated chuckle that is the Kardashian Christmas Photo. The Kardashian family was only really introduced to me in the last year and change and last year was my first time checking out the Christmas photo. If you remember, it looked like a scene from a new Adamm's Family movie. The whole family looked so serious and didn't crack one single smile. This year is no exception.
Snapped by famed photographer Nick Saglimbeni, the family strike their fiercest pose infront of three, condom shaped archways. The blue hue of the photo and definitely offset by Kris Jenner, the only one in the entire photo not wearing black instead, opting for a sequinned blue dress. Anything for attention, right Kris? Another LOL feature of the photo is Kim Kardashian standing all by her lonesome. Her hands are on her hips as if to say, "72 days of marriage was so hard."
Overall, the photo doesn't disappoint and if you're looking for some serious WTF?!, than this is definitely something to check out. Oh, and did I mention that the photo was also shot in 3D? Why would you need your photo shot in 3D? Only the Kardashians. Check out the photo below.
Let me preface this post by saying I adore Daniel Craig. Not only does he get to play James Bond, and looks super sexy doing it, but he frolics on sunny beaches with the crushworthy Andy Cohen. Totes jellies. As if I didn't already love Daniel Craig enough. His latest interview for British GQ just warms the cockles of my heart.
For British GQ's January 2012 issue, the James Bond actor unleashes a barrage of not so pleasant comments towards the Kardashian sisters. He doesn't approve of their propensity to overshare everything for the sake of fame and money. Craig knows a thing or two about keeping his private life, private. Last year, he wed actress Rachel Weisz in a very quiet and secretive wedding in upstate New York with only four guests. Even in his latest interview, Craig only divulges that he's in love.
"Look, I'm in love. I'm very happy. And that is as far as I'm prepared to go."
"We got away with it. We did it privately and I've got a lot of people to thank for that. But that was the point, we did it for private reasons.
Because we didn't want it f*****d up, because that would be sharing a secret. And the whole point is that it was a secret. A secret is a secret in my mind."

Oceanside group struggles with plan for El Corazon
OCEANSIDE -- In sprawling Southern California, not many cities have large swaths of vacant land that haven't been gobbled up by houses or businesses.
With 443 vacant acres in the center of the city, Oceanside is an exception.
In fact, the land, a former sand mine bounded by Oceanside Boulevard, El Camino Real, Mesa Drive and Rancho del Oro Drive, is commonly called El Corazon, or "the heart" of the city.
The trick for city officials is figuring out what to do with it.
"Four hundred fifty acres in the middle of the third largest city in San Diego County," said George McNeil, vice chairman of a city committee trying to figure out what to build on the property. "It's unbelievable it even exists."
Early efforts
The city has tried several times, to no avail, to plan for the site. In 2002, for example, the planning process quickly got embroiled in politics after a group of city residents succeeded in putting an initiative on the ballot that would have set aside most of the El Corazon property for a park. The ballot measure, Proposition M, failed by fewer than 100 votes, but it succeeded in polarizing the community.
Seeking to defuse the divisive issue, the City Council created a 15-member community committee to develop recommendations of what to build on the site. Formed in June, the El Corazon Planning Committee has been collecting data and soliciting suggestions from the public.
Now it's time for the tough part, McNeil said.
Sometime during the next two months, he said, the committee will finish compiling statistics and suggestions and turn to the task of shaping its vision for El Corazon.
"That's when it gets a little dicey," McNeil said. "What we come up with will not satisfy everyone."
Spea`king up
Once the committee finishes this early work, it will ask the public to comment before submitting the plan to the City Council in January, according to committee Chairman Hugh La Bounty.
Residents have already come up with their wish lists in a series of public workshops. Their suggestions include a hotel, parklands, soccer fields, restaurants and a golf course. Some, such as resident Dona Tittle, have suggested that the city think big in creating a unique vision of some sort for the site; others have said the city's small-town mentality won't allow for that.
City residents and leaders have said both publicly and privately that they're eager to see El Corazon develop into something special, but said they're also hoping the city doesn't mess up this opportunity.
"Anyone who knows anything about this issue has exactly that thinking in mind," said Don McKinney, an Oceanside resident and president of the Republican Club of North County. "There's no question about it. It's the opportunity of a generation -- an opportunity that will never come again."
A look back
For more than 60 years, the El Corazon property was used as a sand mine by the West Virginia-based U.S. Silica Corp and its predecessor, Crystal Silica Co.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 5/3/13
Rafael Nadal says the decision to destroy blood evidence in the Operation Puerto doping case was ''a mistake.'' Nadal says Friday ''the ruling wasn't positive for anyone. The only ones that benefited were the ones who cheated.'' In the verdict on Tuesday, doctor Eufemiano Fuentes was found guilty and given a one-year suspended sentence for endangering the health of cyclists through blood doping. Judge Julia Santamaria cited privacy laws when ordering the destruction of more than 100 blood bags seized by police seven years ago. That means anti-doping authorities cannot examine the blood to identify more athletes. Several prominent cyclists have been identified in the scandal. Fuentes testified he had clients from other sports, including soccer, tennis, boxing and track, but they were not identified. Anti-doping organizations may appeal.

Released Jun 28, 2012
Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.
A virus which affects computer systems.
A non-interactive sequence within a game most often used for plot advancement.
Cyberpunk is an aesthetic choice that is employed in many different media, it focuses on technology and how that technology encroaches on our natural, daily lives.
Some games portray cutscenes as portraits of characters talking to each other.
A plot device where the story appears to be heading to a conclusion, but in reality there's still more to the story. For example, just when you think you've saved the world, the true final threat reveals itself. Often appears in Japanese RPG and visual novel titles.
Tsuipo is a service inside the game wherein the player can reply to the other characters' tweets with predetermined responses.
First-Person is a vantage point that attempts to simulate looking through a game character's eyes. It is most commonly found in First-Person Shooters and Racing Games, and to a lesser extent in other genres, such as RPGs and 3D Platformers.
These games were popular enough to warrant an anime, whether it was a full television series, an OVA (original video animation), or a feature-length movie.
Taking advantage of computers and machinery as weapons, in solving puzzles, etc. or otherwise changing up gameplay.
Moral dilemmas presented to the player that often have a significant effect on the story or other characters.
The PlayStation TV is a media streaming device based on the PS Vita. It can play many (though not all) Vita game cards, as well as supporting some PSN games and PS4 Remote Play.
A cutscene that is viewed through the eyes of the protagonist or some other character. POV stands for "point of view".
If a person is made of metal and has circuitry instead of a circulatory system, then their game belongs on this list.
The limitations of early gaming hardware, especially in the 8-bit and 16-bit days, made animated story sequences impractical for many games. One popular alternative was to convey the story through a series of still images, often with text and music alongside them.
A two-dimensional image or animation overlaid into a scene. The foundation of early 2D games, making up everything from props to the player-controlled character.
People who are aged during the growth period of adolescence, traditionally between 13 and 19 years old.
What lies ahead, and is distant from the present.
A sub-genre of adventure games, visual novels are interactive fiction that usually have very little in terms of gameplay but focus more on extensive storytelling, character interactions, dialogue trees, decision-making, and branching narratives, as well as artwork, cutscenes, voice acting, and music.

Dear Santa, I think you need new glasses. I asked you for the woman of my DREAMS, not the foreman grilling MACHINE. I know that a woman loves a man that can cook but you forgot the woman. Oh yeah! Will you come back and get the reindeer? They are leaving me presents of their own all over the lawn.... Questing for the perfect woman is folly. A check list gets a man nowhere. Like buying a house, you'll never find all you desire. But since you're interested, here it is. She'll require the knack of delivering the brushoff to unwanted, intrusive men. Some women have instinctive pest-control abilities, some don't. She'll offer to pay her way; who actually pays is irrelevant, but willingness is critical. Her love of music reveals passion for life, while her dance moves will confirm this.

I like Dogs
I am surrounded by dogs. My office is a pet friendly environment and my coworkers bring in their pets.
Some other viewpoint
I'm flexible on this one. Although I love Flordia, Vegas and all the usual hotspots, I'm really quite happy just travelling.
Boats, Beaches, Bars, Beers, Beards, Bears, Blitzkriegs, Ballads, Barfights, and Pirates.
I'm going to see if anybody actually reads this stuff: I enjoy giving people wedgies, pulling the fire alarms in malls and collecting cover charges at bars where there is no cover charge. I guess I'll find out if anybody reads this stuff.
Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, anything by Michael Crichton or Chuck Palahniuk

I just had this weird image of Kobe Bryant storming up to Joey Crawford and accusing him of being "unattractive inside." Or Justin Verlander barking the same thing at Tim McClelland, or James Harrison to Roger Goodell.
And then I doubled over laughing.
This isn't so much about Serena Williams snapping during Samantha Stosur's beatdown of her in the U.S. Open women's final. Stuff happens, things get done and said, rules get broken, the rules-breakers get caught and don't like it, and blah-blah-blah-de-blah-blah.
|More 2011 U.S. Open
This isn't even about the idea of players' leverage vs. officials' leverage. Or even the sport's characters themselves, who in many ways have created a bizarro world in which they are confused with actual artists and scientists and actors and models and ... well, you know. Non-tennis players.
No, this is actually an homage to a world in which the phrase "unattractive inside" can be used with a straight face and with malice intended. Because everywhere else, you either get ejected from the game you're in or the official howls with delight at your creativity, or you get hit across the chops with a half-full beer stein and get taken to the emergency room to have your jaw realigned while you consider the vagaries of tavern rules.
In every other sport, you drop that one, and hilarity ensues. You either hear a cheerful "F--- you," hear one on your way from the arena while your teammates look at you like you're nuts, or, as we said, you get one in the mouth.
"Unattractive inside?" My god, what Joey Crawford would have done with that one.
Only in tennis. And probably only Serena. One, that seems like it's a trait that would matter to her, or other folks with equally regal self-images. Two, she's probably the only one who would bring it up in a match. I can't imagine Caroline Wozniacki laying that one out. In fact, I would like to think she would drop an F-bomb too, while mainlining a Grolsch.
|Only in tennis can Serena Willilams tell an official she's 'unattractive inside' and not get laughed off the court. (Getty Images)
Something like a snippy, "You are an affront to the dignity of all mankind."
Or, "Why did the gods allow your parents to meet?"
Or, "You don't scare me. You'll be back to marking down stretch pants in the remainder aisle at Costco tomorrow, while I will be jetting off to fabulous MONTE CARLO!"
Or the much less prolix but properly dismissive, "Commoner!" Or better yet, "You, madam, are a pedant!"
This is always the problem with breaking new ground in a fast-moving world. Williams will have to learn, on the fly, how to deliver the kind of insults that are cutting, abusive, yet oddly elegant.
And elegance really isn't a sports construct anyway. In boxing, most insults are preceded by a punch in the joy division, or some reference to the victim's sexuality. Not creative; in fact, rather a cliché by now.
There isn't really a good golf alternative. What would it be -- "You, sir, are an unrepentant Democrat?"
No, this is Serena Williams' particular gift to the language -- the return of the insult that confuses rather than pains. It's as if S.J. Perelman has risen from the dead and taken the jokes Groucho Marx rejected and dusted them off for her.
I mean, it's only a matter of time before she drops a cheery "You have the brain of a four-year-old, and I'll bet she was glad to get rid of it." Or, "Go, and never darken my towels again." Or, "I've had a perfectly wonderful afternoon, but this isn't it." Or, "Whatever it is, I'm against it."
Or she may just go full QE I on us, point to the chair some day and shriek, "Guards! Take her to the tower!" She'll look crazy at that point, I grant you, but who doesn't enjoy a good crazy now and then?

Solid data on "messages received" increasing over time?
I'm working on something with the sloppy premise that over the gradual shift from print to digital, communications isn't a zero-sum game. The general idea is that the introduction of things like first the Internet and e-mail, and later social media and texting, have increased the total number of messages people receive, and that people are increasingly "messaged at" over time.

Unsure about thus relationship cycle
I'm caught in a casual, hot and cold relationship with a person I fell in love with years ago. I can't tell anymore what is normal relationship behavior. I'm a female in my 20's, involved with a person in his 40's. We have similar sensibilities and get along great but then he goes cold. He always let's me decide if I want to stay or not. Everytime I leave, I end up coming back because I miss him and I'm greeted with enthusiasm. He's a sweetheart and never acted aggressively towards me which leaves me confused. 'Cause he'll go out of his way to help me with anything I need and once I get comfortable and thankful, he grows cold. He never saw us as "dating" even though we were plus the issues of him getting over an ex. I can be a bit of a people pleaser at times but I always abide by the rule of if you don't want to be with someone and they have strong feelings for you, you cease contact. He doesn't do this and I'm confused. I feel like a puppet. I don't know what's going on in his head. I don't even know if it's abusive or not. I have been in an abusive relationship and this doesn't mirror it so I'm having a tough time processing what's going on. Please help.
Social media for antisocial Luddites

Barbie® was dressed in a red one piece jersey bathing suit, and included pearl stud earrings, and red open toe shoes.

Chris Ruddick, MLB Editor
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) -
New York Yankees manager Joe Torre is not messing around in Game 4 of his American League Division Series with the Cleveland Indians. He is bringing ace Chien-Ming Wang back on three-days' rest to get his team even, opting to throw his 19-game winner, who had perhaps the worst start of his career in Game 1, instead of veteran Mike Mussina.
"Taking nothing away from Moose," Torre said. "Moose hasn't pitched in a while. Certainly I made him aware before the game that we'll decide later who is going to pitch. And he was comfortable with that. And I just told him afterwards that it was going to be Wanger, and he said, fine."
So, why is Cleveland manager Eric Wedge sticking with Paul Byrd instead of going back to his Game 1 starter, C.C. Sabathia? In case anyone forgot, Sabathia also won 19 games this season and is one of the leading candidates for the AL Cy Young Award.
"We knew we were going to need four starters, if it went that far here in the series," said Wedge. "And that's where we're at. That's what we're going to go with."
Pitching Byrd in this spot is insane. The left-heavy Yankees lineup crushes right-handed pitching, not to mention they lit up Byrd the only time they faced him this season.
Just that start alone should have been enough for Wedge to go with Sabathia tonight. In Byrd's start against the Yanks back on August 11, he was rocked for seven runs and seven hits in just two innings. He is 1-4 lifetime against them with a 4.44 ERA in eight starts.
The television cameras flashed over to Byrd last night when the Yankees were in the midst of their seven-run outburst over the fifth and sixth innings. He had a deer-in-headlights look on his face then. Mark my words he is going to get destroyed tonight.
Also, if they pitch Sabathia tonight and win, it doesn't effect their ALCS rotation at all. The ALCS doesn't start until Friday; they could pitch Carmona in Game 1, then Sabathia on full rest in Game 2.
If the Indians blow this series, this decision tonight will be the reason why.
The only reason there is a game tonight is the brilliant 3 2/3 inning relief performance from 21-year-old Phil Hughes, who filled in like a seasoned pro when the $28 million man Roger Clemens left the game with a hamstring injury.
"Tonight was unbelievable. Just the crowd behind me, and the way they were in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings," Hughes said. "You know, it was something I've never experienced before, and it was hopefully something I'll get to experience for a lot of years."
Hughes surrendered just two hits and struck out four, while probably earning the right to start a game should the Yankees reach the ALCS.
Torre made a questionable move last night in bringing rookie phenom Joba Chamberlain into the game with an 8-3 lead in the seventh inning. I know one of the "Joba Rules" is that once he warms up he has to come in, but for two innings? How useful is he going to be tonight when they actually might need him?
What is the use of having anyone else in the bullpen if the only arms you are going to use are Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera? Kyle Farnsworth, the only player booed during introductions, is getting a pretty penny to sit in that bullpen.
Maybe some of the boo-birds that haunt Alex Rodriguez in the postseason should shift their focus to Yankees captain Derek Jeter, who is 1-for-12 in this series. Last night, with his manager's job apparently on the line, Jeter hit into two double plays and struck out. He also should have been charged with an error in the first inning, which led to Cleveland's first run.

Relatives of MH370 passengers forced to switch hotel as F1 arrives in Kuala Lumpur
Mar 21, 2014, 10:33 AM EDT
Relatives of the passengers on the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 have been moved out of a hotel in Kuala Lumpur in order to make way for the arrival of Formula 1 fans and personnel for next weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix.
Flight MH370 left Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 00:41 local time on Saturday 8th March with 239 passengers on board. However, it disappeared from all tracking devices whilst en route to Beijing, with its last known position being in the Malacca Straits.
Since then, no trace of the aircraft has been found, and a wide-reaching search has ensued, encompassing all areas within seven hours of the aircraft's last known position.
A number of Chinese families arrived in Kuala Lumpur in order to receive updates regarding the search, and were staying in the Cyberview Hotel. However, due to the hotel being fully booked as a result of the Malaysian Grand Prix, they have now been moved by Malaysia Airlines to another residence.
The families were taken by bus to the Bangi-Putrajaya Hotel in order to accommodate the incoming guests at the Cyberview Hotel.
Speaking to Reuters, transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein said: "We will be moving out of here because the F1 race is going to go on."
Practice for the Malaysian Grand Prix gets underway on March 28 at the Sepang International Circuit.

I'm sure that the devastated relatives of the passengers on flight MH370 will find the change of hotels one more unpleasant experience but IMO it's the least of their concerns. In fairness to all involved including those who booked rooms a year in advance for the F1 race, I don't see the switch of hotels to be that big of a deal for the families. The hotel was just a convenient location to the airport. This plane tragedy is going to live on for years if not decades so people might as well start adjusting to this terrible event. You can't change what has happened, but you can learn to accept it.

Living in the present.
Pasts and presents: teaching classes on race, racism and cultural politics (and literature, visual art, film, feminism, marxism, etc.) to college students; strange and sometimes poetic movement from Kolkata to Buenos Aires, from New Zealand to Hanoi, from Central Mexico to Cambodia; running, hiking, biking, boxing, yoga-ing, playing soccer; living everywhere from rural Missouri to London's West End; thinking and writing about the things that people make and what they might mean in this world; experiencing as much music, movement, film, visual art, drinking and dancing as possible; appreciating that I was raised by four women; learning to move slowly; opening to what surrounds me. I live in Capitol Hill and love my incredible community of social workers, teachers, artists, care-givers, and bartenders here and my extended community elsewhere. I teach, write, collaborate with visual artists and cultural workers, spend a lot of time playing with my people, travel a lot, and spend time contemplating hidden pasts and possible futures. More immediately, the past year has been filled with amazing California road and train trips, late-night swim parties under the moon, academic weirdness in rural NH, Rainier hiking, plenty of good concerts and performances, seaplane journeys, a magical return trip to India, too much writing, many journeys to Austin (to see my mom, sisters, and nephews), and much else. I'm always drawn to that rare mix of people who are at once: passionate/compassionate; attractive, active and sexy; open and present to what surrounds them; interested in film, visual art more; into changing all the awful things about the world but also thoroughly enjoying being in the world. And I typically find them. Which is to say, you should message me if . . . you can look honestly at some of the darkness of this world but also--and partly because of that--laugh your ass off about it; if you are passionate but also playful; if you like to have dance-offs; if you care about taking care of your body (but can also fully enjoy a beer or a cream cheese hot dog, or the veg equivalent); if you have a clever, somewhat dark and maybe dirty sense of humor; if you are politically left in some way (whatever that means for you); if you adore cute, fit, funny, intelligent, slightly-bearded, bald men (or at least one of them); and/or if you have been commanded to do so by gods, dreams or the moon.

F800GS R/R Mosfet replacement....How to...
View Single Post
Joined: Jun 2009
Location: Skopje, Macedonia
Oddometer: 42
Hi everyone. Im a new proud owner of 2012 F800GS and Im closely watching all threads regarding F800GS issues in order to be well prepared. But this stator failure makes me very concerned. I do not ride as much as many of you and for sure mine will be out of warranty when it reaches the threshold mileage after which a stator failure is expected.
While searching for solution I came across one small company in Croatia (
) which makes all sorts of electronic devices and among all other things they make R/Rs for motorcycles and boats. Ive contacted them and described to them the problem we have with the stator and concerns about using a serial type of R/R. I will translate in English what their engineer answered and what is stated on their web page. Unfortunately the web page is only in Croatian.
Using serial type of R/R should not cause an issue with other electronic devices on the motorcycle. What about the ignition system and ignition coils? They produce by far higher impulses and noise in the electrical system. However the serial type of R/R suffers from another issue. All serial types of R/Rs which have thyristors and diodes in the design do not operate well on higher revs. The thing is that the inductive component of the generators impedance gets higher, and higher amount of energy is produced in shorter time intervals. In this condition the serial R/R cannot properly discharge the energy and then constant DC current will occur from two phases towards the third phase of the generator. This usually occurs above 8000 rpm. The solution is hybrid type of R/R which has both serial and parallel type of regulation. Most of the time it operates in serial mode and when it senses the critical voltage it will switch to parallel mode. It also has voltage protection in order to limit the voltage at 14.6 V
So, they produce parallel, serial and also hybrid type of R/R. As I can see on their web page the hybrid one is their best selling R/R and so far they never had any issues or faulty R/Rs of this type. They state that the components which they use are high quality components and are rated for 40-60% higher current than the rated current of the R/R which is 30A. The thing is that they use large heat sinks, usually larger than most R/Rs on the market, especially on their hybrid one. But they offer option for the hybrid one to be built in two housings, one for the serial and other for the parallel one. You can also buy the serial one and if you notice charging issues later you can add the parallel one to complete the hybrid R/R. This is the model they recommended for the F800GS and the list of motorcycles on which they fitted this R/R
Unfortunately they dont sell outside Croatia.
On their web page they have a lot of practical advices and information regarding R/Rs, charging systems, generators and examples how to test the R/R, generator and also measuring insulation of the generator. I will translate the most interesting topics and I will post them here.
P.S. Here is one interesting battery monitoring gadget:

OK, so you're young and ambitious and want to make a name for yourself in the news world.
So what do you do, try to top a story as big as the Watergate cover-up?
No, you emulate the Watergate cover-up.
From the weasels who brought you the exposure of ACORN comes Who Dat-gate.
Or, when conservative golden boys go bad.
The weasels are accused of entering government property under false pretenses in an attempt to commit a felony when they (allegedly) tried to bug the phones in the New Orleans office of Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana.
The top weasel, one James O'Keefe —- who posed as a pimp and caught the ACORN liberal community-organizing group with its pants down —- became a cause celeb on Fox Noose and was even cited by Congressional Republicants for his heroic deeds.
Must have been a lot of pressure for Kid Weasel to top his moment of glory with the right wing-nuts.
Why O'Keefe, who is a dead ringer for Lee Harvey Oswald, and three others accused of tampering with the phones in Landrieu's office, devised the plan is still not known.
Get ready, America, because there's plently more in the swine troth from where these guys were spawned.
It's just another case of how the right wing is so arrogant that they actually believe they're above suspicion, and, in the process, is soiling the already warped minds of these G. Gordon Liddy youth types like Kid Weasel O'Keefe.
Breaking the law doesn't affect the right wing-nuts, because they're creating their own rules. They have succeeded at getting America so angry at itself, they can pull anything off —- even if it's criminal activity —- as long as they can give a good spin on it.
A radical right winger murders a doctor who performed abortions and, by proxy, Fox Noose —- primarily Baba O'Reilly —- coerced the nutcase to pull the trigger by higlighting, on numerous occasions, the doctor in segments in which he was referred to as "Killer Tiller."
O'Reilly, the coward that he is, denied having any affect on the murderer's decision —– even though he self-promotes himself at every turn by boasting to his viewers how he beats every other cable news show because he's so influential.
It will be interesting to see how Fox and Jabba the Butt Limbaugh spin this latest bruise to the right wing-nut ego.
As it stands right now for these Watergate wannabe weasels, let's just say karma has reared its ugly head.
Meanwhile, the folks at ACORN are having a good laugh. Ha-ha.
Retribution is a beautiful thing.
The break-in had all the qualities of a botched spy vs. spy melodrama.
Which is the perfect segue to an introduction of an episode of "Mission: Incompetence":
"Good evening, Mr. O'Keefe. This is a photo of Sen. Mary Landrieu, the Democrat from Louisiana. The defacto leader has reason to believe that her secret recipe for jambalaya includes an ingredient that, even when eaten in small portions, reacts to the part of the brain that triggers compassion and the urge to contribute money to humanitarian causes — and, perhaps most damaging of all, makes the person want to join the ACLU.
Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to infiltrate the senator's office not as a pimp this time because Landrieu is white, but rather as a young man looking like he wants to work as a staffer. Two of your Incompetence Mission Force double secret probation agents will pose as telephone repairman who will have falsified papers saying there are problems with the phone lines and repair to the devices inside also need repairing. You will be responsible for capturing everything on your video cell phone. Remember to use the one with the ring tone that's the Woody Guthrie song "This Land is Your Land" so you'll fit right in.
As always, if you are arrested, the defacto leader will spin the incident in your favor and get his millions of lemmings to believe that it was patriotic and they will rally to your defense.
Good luck, Mr. O'Keefe. This message was never recorded or received."
Now, although there is no specific news yet as to why these bozos broke into Landrieu's New Orleans office, or who else knew about it and when did they know, here are some of the explanations these weasels may have offered up:
1. Thought Landrieu had Saints game plan on how to beat Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl.
2. All of them got an "A" in political espionage from the Maxwell Smart School of Secret Agent Men.
3. Weren't concerned about possibly going to jail —– figured when they got out they'd get a lot of face time on Fox Noose.
4. This month is the anniversary of Dick Nixon's birth and they thought it would be a fitting tribute.
5. Got Mary Landrieu's name confused with Martin Landau.
6. Hey, it was only a prank and Landrieu was supposed to be caught off guard on an episode of "Punk'd."
7. Heard somewhere that babes find telephone repairmen hunkier than firemen.
8. They're innocent, told they were being filmed for a segment of the new MTV show "Pimp My Phone."
9. Deep, patriotic concern on their part that Landrieu was moonlighting as a phone sex operator calling herself "The Big Easy."
10. "It's a scam, we were set up by ACORN."

I would just like to say that I am proud in the way Marvel has been treating Carnage, in the sense of he is actually a threat to Marvel on a whole,If he keeps this stuff up he might one day be on a Ultron level threat, I mean if he could continue to replicate his symbiote like he did in Carnage USA and apparently Minimum Carnage, he could potentially be a planetary threat. As for as the micro verse is concerned he is a Universal threat. Now I would never expect venom to ever become such a threat as to me the suit isn't Evil, it's just bad, sure it will kill you and your mom but carnage has no discretion and this is what makes him very deadly. What is someone's else's opinion on this?
Proud of Marvel when it comes to Carnage

The Universe in an Hourglass: A Time for Everything
The numbers one through nine (and the placeholder zero) are used in combination to create all other
numbers in a base-ten counting system. For example, the number one billion two hundred thirty-four
million five hundred sixty-seven thousand eight hundred ninety (1,234,567,890) contains the numbers
one through nine and the placeholder zero. Numbers greater than nine can be broken down into one of
the original nine numbers of value in a base-ten counting system.
For example, the number ten appears as a one and a zero (10). When one and zero are added
together they equal one (1 + 0 = 1). Likewise, a count greater then nine can be broken down to one of
the nine original numbers of value (as can all other numbers).
