TV Fashion: Mikey Teutul of 'American Chopper' (Discovery)
This week we're going to focus on one of the rarities of celebrity - the genuine person. And you're not likely to find someone more likable or genuine than Mikey Teutul - yeah, the bushy-haired, chunky one who never seems to do anything - of "American Chopper."
Sure, he's not exactly the type you'd expect us to admire, what with the extra poundage, the slovenly attire and the frizzy hair (hmm, maybe this is a bad idea after all), but he is more comfortable in his skin than any other person on television. And that's where style comes from - being so at ease with yourself that no matter the situation or surrounding you're still 100 percent "you" whether you're in a tuxedo or T-shirt and cutoffs.
The latter, of course, is more "Mikey style," but he's perfectly happy to throw on a tux or an elf's costume if the situation calls for it. Regardless of the clothing, he's still Mikey. But let's consider the standard Mikey-wear: an OCC T-shirt and shorts. It could be snowing outside, and Mikey will still opt for shorts; thank God he has the legs for it.
But just how can you put together the Mikey Teutul look? It's as easy as heading to the Orange County Choppers Web site and perusing the apparel pages. OCC T-shirts in black or red and OCC polo shirts in red or black tend to find their way onto the back of Mikey, though the Web site has a huge selection of clothing options for the devoted fan.
Why he wears what he wears probably has more to do with the fact that he would rather just walk over to the gift shop at the family business and lift a few items off the shelves than go to a store and pick out other options. He's like a much poorer
If that's not enough, there is an accessories section where you can purchase sunglasses like Paulie Jr.'s, pins, cell-phone covers and yes, even an OCC fragrance called Full Throttle. Rest assured that Mikey regularly smells like Full Throttle - so keep that in mind if you ever do hang out with him.
Hey, does anyone else think these guys might be making more money from clothing than from actually making motorcycles?

For far too long conservatives have given the military the equivalent of a blank check. Through the Cold War and in the years since the budget has ballooned. It takes a huge piece of the federal pie and it is filled with waste and flat out fraud. The Pentagon wastes BILLIONS in taxpayer dollars.
Some of the "fraud" is entirely legal. Overpayments for this, a sweetheart contract for that. Perhaps a deal for a weapons system which makes no sense but is a government works program for some congressperson's (often a Republican) district.
The military, though expressly enumerated in the Constitution for the defense of the US, is in many respects big government too. It is also rife with crony capitalism. Conservatives need to come to terms with this.

Any reputable Mortgage Banker will "pre-qualify" you for a mortgage before you start house hunting. This process includes analyzing your income, assets, and present debt to estimate what you may be able to afford on a house purchase. Real estate brokers can also calculate the same sort of informal estimate for you.
Obtaining mortgage "pre-approval" is another thing entirely. It means that you have in hand a lender's written commitment to put together a loan for you (subject to verification of income and employment). Pre-approval makes you a strong buyer, welcomed by sellers.
Interest rates are usually expressed as an annual percentage of the amount borrowed. You can choose a mortgage with an interest rate that is fixed for the entire term of the loan or one that changes throughout. A fixed-rate loan gives you the security of knowing that your interest rate will never change during the term of the loan. An adjustable-rate mortgage (called an ARM) has an interest rate that will vary during the life of the loan, with the possibility of both increases and decreases to the interest rate and consequently to your mortgage payments.
In the special vocabulary of mortgage lending, "points" are a type of fee that lenders charge (the full term to describe this fee is "discount points"). Simply put, a point is a unit of measure that means 1% of the loan payment. So, if you take out a $100,000 loan, one point equals $1,000.
Discount points represent additional money you can pay at closing to the lender to get a lower interest rate on your loan. Usually, for each point on a 30-year loan, your interest rate is reduced by about 1/8th (or .125) of a percentage point.
If you put less than 20% down on most loans, you'll be asked to protect the lender by carrying private mortgage insurance (PMI). Carrying PMI ensures that the debt is repaid if you default on the loan.
FHA mortgages, in return for their low-down-payment requirements, also charge for mortgage insurance premiums (MIP).
The term "conforming," as opposed to "nonconforming," is sometimes used to explain loans that offer terms and conditions that follow the guidelines set forth by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These are the two private, congressionally chartered companies that buy mortgage loans from lenders, thereby ensuring that mortgage funds are available at all times in all locations around the country.
The most important difference between a loan that conforms to Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac guidelines and one that doesn't fit its loan limit. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will purchase loans only up to a certain loan limit (currently it is $417,000).
If your loan amount will be for more than the conforming loan limit, the interest rate on your mortgage may be higher or you may have slightly different underwriting requirements, particularly in regard to your required down payment amount.
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a measure of the cost of credit, expressed as a yearly rate, that relates the amount and timing of value received by the consumer to the amount and timing of payments made. It factors interest plus certain closing costs, any points and other finance charges over the term of a loan. The APR must be disclosed to you according to federal Truth-in-Lending laws within three business days of when you apply for a loan, or prior to or at closing for a refinance.
On the day you actually buy your new home, in addition to your down payment, the prepaid property tax and homeowner's insurance premiums, you'll need cash for various fees associated with the purchase. These expenses are known as closing costs and are paid by both buyers and sellers.
Some closing costs you pay up-front when you apply for a mortgage loan. Those include money for a credit check on all applicants and an appraisal on the property. Keep in mind that even if you don't eventually receive the loan, that money is not refundable.

The International Longevity Centre-UK is the leading think tank on longevity and demographic change. It is an independent, non-partisan think tank dedicated to addressing issues of longevity, ageing and population change. We develop ideas, undertake research and create a forum for debate.
Much of our work is directed at the highest levels of government and the civil service, both in London and Brussels. We have a reputation as a respected think tank which works, often with key partner organisations, to inform important decision-making processes. We are aided in this work by our Chief Executive, Baroness Sally Greengross, former director-general of Age Concern and now a cross-bench peer.
Our policy remit is broad, and covers everything from pensions and financial planning, to health and social care, housing design, and age discrimination. We work primarily with central government, but also actively build relationships with local government, the private sector and relevant professional and academic associations.
Think tank urges continued focus on preventing ill health as research highlights that ill health and inactivity is not inevitable. Age UK announce plans for annual "Greengross Lecture"
How can we support and treat people with dementia in an acceptable way that's affordable? The May 2015 MODEM newsletter
Inspired by ILC-UK Chief Executive and founder, Baroness Sally Greengross, who turned 80 on the 29th of June this year, we have launched our new factpack, '80 at Eighty' giving 80 facts about life in your 9th decade.
In this new White Paper for the ILC-UK Centre for Later Life Funding we argue that "Recent successes in poverty reduction at older ages could be reduced to a footnote in history" in the absence of a long term strategy for later life funding.
This new study by the CIPD, in collaboration with ILC-UK, reveals that the UK could face serious skills shortages over the next 20 years if employers don't change their approach to workforce planning as our population ages and demand for certain services rises.
This project from ILC-UK and Age UK sets out the key transport challenges that are arising from the UK's ageing population.
In this analysis of the main party manifestos we highlight a failure to respond to demographic change and long term population ageing.
The Missing Million research, undertaken by ILC-UK with Business in the Community and PRIME, has identified more than a million people aged over 50 who are forced out of work involuntarily.

Forum Post: 6 Unbelievable Ways the Big Banks Are Scamming You
Posted 2 years ago on June 20, 2013, 5:02 p.m. EST by BradB
from Washington, DC
This content is user submitted and not an official statement

It is going on five years since the financial crash and three years since President Obama signed the meager Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the big banks are still scamming and conning and ripping off their customers. What a huge surprise.
After the financial crash, we heard about a laundry list of abuses and frauds that ranged from small things, like hidden fees, to pushing minorities into subprime loans and then switching them into more expensive mortgages at signing time, to huge things like selling trillions of dollars in complicated CDO schemes and making bets on derivatives of derivatives without having the reserves to pay off what they owed when the bets went bad.
Of course, no one at the top was prosecuted and the banks were allowed to settle a host of charges (which meant that their shareholders, not the executives who made the decisions, paid the fines). The bad behavior gave these giants a competitive advantage, driving out what good companies there were. So the costly and destructive bad behavior, schemes, cons and scams continue.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Are you convinced that Russia and President Medvedev take this as seriously and, and feel the same urgency that you do?
OBAMA: I am convinced that what you heard today would've been unimaginable a year ago. For me to lay out clearly our approach to sanctions and to have then a Russian president next to me say there's nothing I heard that I could disagree with, I think it's an enormous shift and a signal that Russia, like the United States, recognizes that unless we can get all countries to start abiding by certain rules of the road -- and right now, our biggest concerns are obviously Iran and North Korea -- but they're a broader set of issues at stake out there. That -- that's going to be damaging to their national security just like ours. And, and so, what you heard today was the Russians I think are clear that we need sanctions that will change the behavior of Iran. And I think that what you'll be able to see over the next several weeks is, is that both the United States and Russia as part of a broader international effort are going to say to the Iranians once again, you've got options here.
STEPHANOPOULOS: An international effort that includes China?
OBAMA: You've got options. You can take the path you're on, and get further isolated with greater and great consequences, or you can actually look at the very reasonable offers that have been out there that would allow them to pursue civilian nuclear energy without pursuing weapons.
Now, you know, you were asking about China. I think China is obviously concerned about their energy. You know, when you have that many people, and you're growing that fast, then issues of oil are going to be high on your list. But what I've been encouraged by in conversations that we've had recently with the Chinese is the recognition, as they recognized when it came to North Korea, that if the international community is just standing by toothless and there are no consequences to actors who act contrary to their international obligations -- that over time, that's going to be destabilizing.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But what do you say to critics who say you're on the same page with Russia now because you've given away too much? And that sanctions aren't going to change Iran's behavior, unless they include real limits on this trade in oil and refined gasoline products?
OBAMA: You had a compound question here. First, you made a suggestion that we gave away too much, and I -- it would be -- I'd be curious as to what exactly we gave away.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You're giving away that -- the taking -- taking the fine petroleum products off the table.
OBAMA: Oh, I see. So, so, why don't you reformulate the question here, George, because I'm just trying to follow you here. You're, you're suggesting that --
STEPHANOPOULOS: You said you and Russia are on the same page. You're on the same page, because they've taken refined petroleum products off the table. And critics say --
OBAMA: No, no, no, no. I -- I didn't say that.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You don't believe it. Well --
OBAMA: What -- what -- what I --
STEPHANOPOULOS: -- they said that.

Hey Tyson
This is the guy you talked to a week or so ago on the phone about the used 800xc out in Caldwell. Well they couldn't get below 11.5k out the door so I had to pass it up. I did buy a new V Strom though....I hope I can talk you into some rides this fall. Great RR and I'm glad to see my home turf being portrayed in the same way I feel about it. Great writing

Bummer they were charging so much for that bike. I think I told you it should be like $9500. Sure enough, a 2012 800XC in excellent condition books out at $9395. I know out the door includes tax, but there shouldn't be that stupid $395 dealer set-up fee you get charged on a new bike. They are a SOLID $1500 high on that bike. Somebody will pay it though.
Good luck with the Strom! People sure seem to like that bike for a lot of reasons. I bet you get many happy miles out of it.
Swing by the shop and say hi sometime! I'll be out riding a lot this summer and usually looking for somebody to ride with.

At this point, Tamara and I have been on an evening cruise and one day ride for a total of about 450 miles. In typical Tyson fashion, I shoot for the moon and ask, "Hey baby? You wanna go for a ride?"
"Sure! Where?
"Oh, you know. Nowhere real far. Like the ocean."
And so begins our first real moto trip together. We shall ride to the ocean.
The trip had been planned for awhile. A few weeks at least. Now that the time grew close, the weather forecast didn't look so hot. Rainy and cold, to be exact. But, has that ever stopped me before? Nope. I sure hope this woman knows what she's getting into with me.
Things still were coming together at the last second. Helmet communicator install at work the day of leaving. (El Cheapo model) Hadn't even done a trial packing of the moto with both of our necessities. Just told her to gather what ever would fit in her Camelbak. And then there was the issue of me wearing a backpack.
I ALWAYS wear a backpack. My camera sits on the chest compression strap and it's how I'm able to get all these great photos. We were in the driveway packed, and geared up still trying to figure out how best to do this.
We got it figured out if I dumped some water out, I could wear the pack and she could still be comfortable.
Off we go!
Immediately we try to use the communicator and all we get is static. Figured out pretty quickly the only time we can talk is below about 45mph. Still very nice, but well below expectations. The speakers were only good enough to hear a melody. If you knew the song you could kinda hum along with it.
These BT communicators get a D-. They are second hand and didn't cost very much. We did like them enough to know it will be worth investing in a good set when funds allow. But on to the ride....
Cool on this Friday evening. I've got my heated gear. :) She doesn't. :( It's not bad. Yet.
We are on the typical route to my bro's in Redmond, OR. Done this number quite a few times. Even a pretty 330 mile trip gets old.
We stopped in Unity for fuel. I like to give this place business. Only fuel for a long ways. I didn't need it, but it was nice to take a break anyways.
During the break I was assured she was fine. Had quite the smile on her face from the twisties we had just come though.
I went inside to take a leak and came out near gasping for air. As we passed each other in the parking lot, all I said was, "I didn't do it." She looked at me funny and went inside. When she came out she said, "I wasn't sure what you meant. Then, I immediately knew what you meant when I opened the bathroom door!"
Over the Blue Mountains. And what do you know?! It didn't even rain on us!!
After the John Day Valley is a ripping section of road. I turned it up big time! And I didn't even get thumped on the helmet for going too fast! I think she might actually like this motorcycle stuff. The three of us totally sliced up that section of road.
I noticed in my rear view there was Tacoma behind us that had actually been keeping up. That truck was getting put though the wringer! I'd hit 100 for a few miles and then slow to a more reasonable 15 mph over the limit. Sure enough this truck would catch up to us.
I began to catch up with another vehicle and it was kinda pretty through this stretch so I slowed a bit. Just about then was a flash of red and blue. Brief. But, I know I saw it. The oncoming truck was a cop! Passed him going 63 in a 55. Then, the truck I had been catching hit his brakes and flipped around. It was a cop I was flying up behind! They must have flipped their lights to say "hi".
A few miles back, I would have been in jail. But as it played out, I passed both of them going the other way doing a completely acceptable speed. Funny how things work out. I remember actually turning around to look at the Tacoma and I can only guess we were feeling the same feeling of relief.
Next up is the Ochoco National Forest. The sun is setting. The temp is dropping. My heated vest is on high. Her heated clothing is non-existent. I'm getting worried. I can feel her back there trying to warm her hands under my backpack and tucking her helmet out of the wind.
No choice but to push on. We've only got 75 miles to go. Finally we make it to Prineville and stop for fuel. She is cold but still in good spirits. She tells me "It's cold, but I'm totally enjoying it!"
I called Trevor and told him we'd be there in 20 min. When we arrived he was a few minutes late getting there from dinner with 'Leen. Tamara and I are starving so we go to their favorite local place to grab some beers and food. Didn't have a crazy night or anything. Just conversation and early bed. Tomorrow the real vacation starts.

Saturday morning Tamara and I are awake pretty early. It's always a great day when I wake up with her in my arms.
We begin cooking breakfast and getting things together. Trevor and 'Leen are finally up and at 'em.
During breakfast it is decided that Trevor and 'Leen will ride with us over the Cascades. They didn't have anything to do, so why not ride?
Checking the weather, it's solid green and dark green on the radar all the way to the coast. Gonna be one rainy day!
I like the rain. A lot as a matter of fact. Growing up in Wisconsin, I loved the summer thunderstorms. It's something I miss very much living in the desert. And when it does rain in the desert, I sure do appreciate it and love it.
I also really like riding Hobbes in the rain. I love sleeping in a tent when it's raining. I like being outside in all my techy waterproof gear when it's raining. I guess I'm gonna be pretty happy on this trip.
The rain didn't start until we were outside of Sisters and headed up in elevation. It was fairly light, but steady and everything was thoroughly soaked. These are different mountains than we are used to and that feeling you are getting far from home sinks in. I have never traveled this road before.
It's fucking cold. I use profanity to prove a point. It's fucking cold. Nasty, wet, damp cold. The kind that gives you the chill through your core and won't let go. And the lovely Tamara has a smile on her face even with her teeth chattering.
We stopped here to take a little break.
Trevor's Aprillia Caponard is one sweet ride.
We venture on through the rain for a few more miles and Trevor turns off in a park to split ways and head back to Redmond.
"'Til next time!"
The remainder of highway 126 was beautiful. Persistently cold and beautiful. Cute little cottages dot the highway next to the river. Retreats from the city life of Eugene nearby. The flowering shrubs in everyone's yards are gorgeous.
The rain has stopped, but it is still very cold. There has been much talk about heated gear for my lady. I know it's pricey. I feel bad cause I have cost this woman so much money already in our young relationship. Got her hooked on skiing and now on dual sport riding. And she has gotten all the stuff she needs.
But, her mind is made up. She's buying gear.
By the time we get to Springfield, the rain has started again. Time for a fuel stop and consultation with the iPhone for moto dealers in Eugene.
I'm sure Tamara is laughing every time she reads "Eugene" because I could never say it right. I put the accent in the wrong place and sound like I'm from out of town.
I call all over town and everyone is out of heated jackets in her size. Or, what they do have is junk. She has bought into (literally) the whole buy it right the first time philosophy. Gerbings or First Gear. That's all we are looking for.
I call the BMW dealership last. I figured they'd probably have it, but it would be full price. Have you ever heard of a sale at a BMW place? Yeah, neither have I.
The good news is, they have the Gerbings jacket in an XS and a First Gear in a small. "We're on our way!"
Once at the dealership, she started trying stuff on. I was looking at a Super T they had and one of the sales guys comes up to me and asks if I'm interested in it. "Hell no! I've got a Tiger!"
The First Gear fit her better. There's $200. And of course, you need the controller. Hit with another $79. I asked if they could hook a few cold travelers up with a 10% discount. But, they were jealous of my bike, so full retail it was. Saved on sales tax at least since we were in Oregon and they don't charge it.
I borrowed a screwdriver from them so I didn't have to rip my entire tool kit out. I rolled the bike under the awning and out of the steady Oregon rain. Install was a breeze and only took a few minutes to figure out exactly where we wanted the cable to come out for her.
Done! HEAT! That's one happy girl there. And she hadn't even experienced the awesomeness of electric warmth while speeding down the highway in the rain and the cold yet.
On to the coast!!!
Back at the dealership, we had discussed a major change. I relinquished my beloved photography to my new riding partner. I need to guide this heavily loaded machine down the highway and she can take the photos. I trust her. And she did a fantastic job! Her first photo.
Pretty awesome huh?
The vast majority of the photos came out great for the rest of the trip. Especially for a new motorcycle passenger to have the photo job thrown in her lap. This one of those things that should have been worked out on a shake down cruise so she could tune her skills and see works and what doesn't. I also shouldn't have been so adamant about using my camera. She has the same quality camera as me and knows how to use hers.
It also helps when I am shooting the photos, I slow down a bit. Speed and wind are to blame for the majority of the ones that didn't come out. Not to mention it was raining a great deal of the time. Overall I am extremely pleased with her work and she did a fine job. Thanks baby!
We have arrived! The Pacific Ocean!
This is also about the time I seem to remember being short on tent stakes for the rain fly. We find a Fred Meyer in Florence and buy some.
After heading North on the 101 for few miles, it's time to get some food. We decide to be thrifty and stop at a market instead of a restaurant. Picked up very expensive lunch meat, cheese, and wine for later. It's raining really hard in Yachats.
The rain lets up a bit and there is a nice place to stop. We walk to the beach and eat our lunch looking out at the stormy Pacific.
During lunch, Tamara comments that the $300 spent on the warm goodness has totally melted away in her mind. She is completely comfortable and happy. Especially to be with me.
We cross the big bridge in Newport.
The dramatic Oregon Coast.
The warm and happy Tamara.
We are getting close to our destination for the night and we are thinking about what we want to do for dinner. I am endlessly frustrated with At&t and my tired iPhone. It's on it's last leg and I've had it with my network. There aren't a whole lot of restaurants around where we are camping and we may just make food in camp tonight.
We turned off the 101 and headed into Pacific City. We had planned on possibly eating here. But, there was a major bike race and the town was insane! This is where part of the Goonies was filmed at Haystack Rock.
The helmet communicators work well at the speed we were moving though Pacific City and we decided against coming back here for dinner. It was crowded and plus, it was 15 miles.
This is a really cool series of pictures she took after we passed though Pacific City.
We have reached camp! Cape Lookout State Park. Even made a reservation to get so close to the ocean. The rest of the evening's story to come. The day ain't over yet!

Camp is set up in no time and we are out of the moto clothes. A walk to the ocean is in order. It's all of 150 yards from our campsite. Awesome.
One of the best pictures all trip.
We had cell service and found a restaurant close by in Oceanside. Only six miles away and it got really good reviews.
The wet moto gear goes back on and we are off to dinner around 8-ish. We find the place after making one wrong turn. Still raining hard. We come into this nice restaurant called Roseanna's soaking wet in full moto gear. Everyone else is in nice clothes. These are the things you just get used to when traveling on a bike.
We ordered dinner and it was fantastic. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was just right and seemed to blend well with the area it was located in. We had a table looking right out on the Pacific. Nothing to spoil the beautiful view. The wine was very tasty. And the company was the best. We even splurged and ordered a super rich desert. We were some of the last people to leave the little place as we lingered over great conversation and enjoyed our wine.
I did a horrible job about taking pictures of food on this trip. This place was worth documenting. But, it is locked in my memory.
When we left, the rain had really picked up and the light was fading. The rain just stuck on my face shield. I tried to open it to see better, but rain drops hurt on bare skin! And when it was closed, the fogging was instantaneous. The best I could muster was about 25mph.
Finally, I'd had enough and stopped to put my safety glasses on. I can see! Went from 25 to 60. Got us home safe in a jiff.
Once back in camp, we were out of our moto clothes for a second time and back in our rain gear. We both had a little buzz from dinner and continued our night with the bottle of wine we bought earlier in the day. Out to the ocean with our wine, camp stools, and Gore-tex donned.
It's pouring and we couldn't be happier!
We drank almost our entire bottle of wine in the rain on the beach. As we got to the end, I got a terrible look on my face as I looked into my coffee cup-o-wine with my headlamp turned on.
Tamara says, "Whuddya got in there? A shrimp?!"
I looked at her with a stunned look, and said, "Yeah! I got a shrimp in my wine!"
No idea what that is, or how it got in there. It sure looks like something that would live UNDER water. Not something that would climb in my drink on the beach. I think I commented that, "At least I like sushi."
A very funny moment on our trip. Just the fact that she called it. One in a million.
Back at camp, I rinsed out my cup. Once we were inside the tent and warm in our sleeping bags, I poured the remainder of the bottle for us. We finished it off and then drifted off to sleep while holding each other and listening to the ocean and the rain on the tent. The perfect end to a great day.

The rain tapered off over night. It's Sunday morning. We are some of the first ones to rise in camp. Tamara makes coffee and we pack up our stuff.
Yes, the tent got a little wet towards our feet. My dumbass, after all the experience I have, didn't make sure the ground cloth was tucked in. Retard. It caught the water off the fly and funneled it right under the tent. Only on my side and nothing got wet. Got complacent.
We got on the road pretty early and rode towards Tillamook.
No offense to Tillamook, but it's kinda run down. We were looking for a good breakfast place and everything was closed! On Sunday Morning!
We finally found a place called The Fern. It was that or Denny's. We opted for The Fern. It was pretty empty. But, the food was good. The bacon was awesome!
I remember not feeling so hot this morning. It wasn't a wine hangover. Just didn't feel 100%. That gut feeling you get something isn't quite right. It wore off a little later.
These kites were really cool. They were huge! Just hovering up there.
Time to get rid of some coffee. Turned off at one of the many waysides.
A little walk out to the beach.
Coming out of the wayside we had a little oops. Tamara gets credit for this one. She leaned a little far she wanted to talk to me.
Maybe this is what I wasn't feeling good about. I convinced myself this little tip over was it and I felt much better the rest of the day.
Cannon Beach.
We've been riding for a few hours now and it's time for a break. We decide to go for a walk on Cannon Beach. I'd read good things about it.
Kelp pile. This is foreign to me.
We walked almost a mile down the beach and cought the ocean at low tide. We played around in the tide pools with all the other tourists and looked at stuff we don't get to see every day.
We took longer than your average stop. But this was what we were here to do. Be by the ocean and be with each other.
We arrived in Astoria and crossed into Washington.
We got fuel in Seaview, WA. I was too busy comparing gas prices and may have missed the turn to continue North on 101. We got fuel and headed North. But, it wasn't on 101. My spidy sense was tingling a bit. We were by the ocean and I swore the map showed we were supposed to be going inland. And the mile markers were off. I had seen a sign for beach access and I determined at the next one we would go out to the water and figure out where we went wrong.
I found the next access and turned down the road. Sweet! The road goes right onto the beach! An asphalt strip takes you through most of the deep sand and gets you 30 yards from the wet, firm sand. Just gotta make it 30 yards.
See if you figure out what vantage point this next photo is taken from.
That's what Tamara was looking at after we ate it and she got pitched off. Still smiling. Laughing actually.
ALMOST made it. Look at how deep that front tire trenched in!!! That was some soft sand my friends.
Play time!
Tamara got on and we cruised down the beach for awhile. The one time on the trip I wished for knobbies.
Play time on the beach is over. I turned on the GPS and figured out we took 103N and not 101 and ended up on Long Beach. We had to back track 15 miles. Now, we just gotta get back across that 30 yards....
Tamara had to push to get out of this one. Totally didn't plan this moment, but it was one of the more memorable ones. Getting to drive on the beach was pretty spectacular.
Back South and sure enough, the turn for 101 was about 25 yards South of where we had gotten fuel.
A fun section of 101. A very nice motorist slowed down and waved us though in an extended section of double yellow. I love it when folks do that for us moto guys.
A slough. We don't have those in Idaho.
A lumber yard that smelled fantastic. We have the sugar beet factory in Nampa that doesn't smell fantastic.
The miles roll by. All the forest we pass by has signs which indicated when they were cut, planted, and will be cut again. Fields of trees.
We get to Aberdeen pretty late in the afternoon and it's time for food. We find a little place to get some deep fried seafood. Exactly what Tamara was craving.
Aberdeen is weird. Just one of those places you are ready to leave as soon as you get there. It didn't look like there was a nice part of town anywhere. I think it was after 4 when we were done eating and ready to hit the road.
The ride continues.....

Heated gear, for the both of us, is probably the best investment I've made in motorcycle gear. It's so strange, after riding without for ~22 years, to be getting warmed while riding instead of being cooled.

Fender cover
DIY $2 inside rear fender cover, offers good protection for the rear break reservoir and no more tire spatter coming up through the side hole.
To lock it down, one SS bolt with self locking nut and washer at front center location, and on the exhaust side made a small slit in cover, plus a SS clamp to side bar.
To protect the brake hose I slit open an old extension wire (3 inch long) and pushed it onto the front curved edge, also used some old self stick foam on front straight edge.
Made this from an old aluminum snow shovel that had a broken handle, cost to make was about 2 hours of tinkering and maybe $2 worth of hardware.

Personal Goals
Hey folks - Sensational September is up and running! Sign up at: http://www.socialworkout.com/challenge/showRunning/13232
Power circuit training this a.m.
So did NOT want to get out of bed this morning, but wanted to finish the month strong!! 30 minutes of Elliptical and 20 minutes ARC. Happy last day of August, Friends!
arms and abs today!
Kickboxing - made all the high-impact moves low and still burned 450 calories.
an hour of low-impact aerobics . . . at 6 a.m. getting easier to workout early - love getting it out of the way!
The trick this morning was getting to the gym...trees down on our road. Who knew? Made time for a 4-mile run once I finally got there!
Hurricane Irene left a nice little workout for me...picking up sticks, branches, leaves!! 2 hours of squatting and lifting and heaving branches into the woods (I imagine it was a nice 30 minute of actual "workout" at least). Hope everyone is safe and has power or at least something fun to do to pass the time!
Got nothin' but time today, so did a low-impact cardio routine, followed by an ab circuit and then an upper body circuit. Feel like jelly now! Hope everyone's doing OK w/the storm - I'm off to shower before we lose power!
inside watching the rain and blowing trees from Irene, but not sitting still!! The kids and I did a preschool yoga session and a "improve flexibility and stretching" session on "On Demand". Channeling our cooped up energy into something productive. Stay safe, Everyone!!
Day 1 in Disney and I'm already tired :/. Hours of walking today in the magic kingdom Counting some minutes for these tired old feet
30 min. low impact cardio + 30 min. Butt Bible & a stretch. Now out to lug patio furniture into garage "just in case" Irene turns out to be real . . . . good luck to everyone!

I made something the other day that y'all might be interested in. It was a stiff cover for a circa/rolla notebook.
It actually started life as one of those brown/gray pressed-paper pieces that's used as packing materials. This one was keeping some refrigerator display stickers flat, and had been shrinkwrapped for years. I tossed the stickers and the wrap and grabbed it, thinking it would be good for a notebook cover. Anyway, you get the same kind of thing on the back of gummed legal pads, but they do come in varying thicknesses.
This particular bit of board was too thick to fit into my 5-lb rolla punch, but I hacked it a little to make it fit. This is the important bit.
Review: Cross Roadster Gel PenSubmitted by dougj on Wed, 2008-08-20 15:00.
In the past couple of years, I've become far more intimate with my writing tools. The act of putting words on paper has become more of a visceral experience, something that I look forward to doing (as opposed to something I'm forced to do). Given my semi-recent hobby of restoring vintage fountain pens, it isn't hard to guess that I'm usually found with a pen in hand that's more than six decades old, sporting a gold nib, and laying down a beautiful wet layer or Waterman's or Noodler's ink. Frankly, I've grown tired of most modern pen designs which are generally contrived to look like all others or to evoke Star Trek in some way. (Think of the recent crop of G2 lookalikes, for example.) Which is why I'm surprised to declare that one of the pens in my current stable is not a fountain pen at all, but a modern gel roller.
I should preface this by saying that not everybody enjoys writing with a wide-barreled pen. I certainly do, although many of my acquaintance think slimmer is better. I find that a wider pen allows me to write a little looser and doesn't require the firm hold that might aggravate carpal tunnel. Make no mistake: the Cross Roadster is definitely a fat pen, about as fat as most people could comfortably use.
I found the Roadster at my local Staples and fell in love with it right away. It's a thick, fairly stubby pen just under 4.5" long; however, with its cap posted it turns into a meaty 5.75". Vaguely bullet-shaped, with a long brushed chrome cap and a sturdy and beautifully-coloured barrel that's well-rounded at its base, it certainly has a look all its own.
Zentangles : A ReviewSubmitted by innowen on Tue, 2008-08-19 11:35.
In my pursuit to find fun and new ways to express my creativity on paper, I stumbled across a new art-form called Zentangles. A zentangle is a method of creating images from imaginative patterns. You start by dividing off sections of a small piece of paper and then you draw repetitive doodles and designs within each section. (These are known as tangles). Each doodle and design has its own special and unique name and of course, you're welcome to make up your own tangles. When you are done filling in each space with a different design, you've completed a unique piece of art.
The Zentangle website provides extensive information on the benefits of this art form, where they came from, and how to get started with one of their kits. In my haste to start utilizing this simple-yet-elegant art-form, I ordered one of their Zentangle Kits for $49 USD. Each kit comes with 34 tiles (pre-cut pieces of thick, watercolor paper), 2 Sakura Micron pens, pencils and a sharpener, an instructional book and DVD, a 20-sided dice, and a small Legend that contains 20 tangles to get you all started with.
Forum: In the UK: Atoma/Adoc versus Circa/RollabindSubmitted by SpoonFed on Wed, 2008-08-13 01:13.
Okay, I know I'm not the first person to be stuck on this decision. I think I need some user experience to help me out with my problem!
First, and potentially most important: has anyone used the Circa/Rollabind punch with A4 paper? I know it won't fit perfectly, but is it close enough to be functional? Oh, and do A4 papers noticeably stick out of letter-sized covers?
Second, has anyone printed directly on to the Atoma or Adoc paper? It mentions on both the Manufactum (Atoma) and Pegasus National (Adoc) websites that the paper is suitable for inkjet and laser printing. I can see myself offsetting the cost of the £85 Atoma hole punch by buying pre-punched paper and printing on to it, but I'm afraid the paper will jam, etc.
Third, how do people's experiences with paper quality from the different suppliers compare? I think other posters have suggested that Rollabind paper is of somewhat lesser quality than Circa. Does anyone have a similar comparison between Atoma and Adoc paper - or better yet, all four paper types?
Fourth, can anyone compare the strength/durability of the smurf types? That is, to my eye the Atoma/Adoc smurf type seems almost zipper-like and probably holds the paper in place well but might cause more folding/bending of the paper when it's removed and replaced. The Circa/Rollabind seems easier for replacement and removal, but maybe a bit less secure. I haven't seen either system in use, so I'm happy to be corrected by someone with some experience of both!
Thanks for your help!!
Forum: New paper organizer software - "Plans Unfolding"Submitted by ron_d on Tue, 2008-08-05 11:24.
Hi All,
Some of you might be interested in free software I released ("Plans Unfolding") for creating convenient, pocket-sized paper organizers. Using LaTeX as a typesetting engine, a high quality PDF file is generated of 16 mini-pages, which is then printed on both sides of a sheet of letter paper and folded to create a small booklet that can fit in your pocket. The Windows interface directly supports several types of standard pages (List, Text, Calendars, Contacts, etc.) and maintains all user data between sessions. It also provides page types not seen in conventional organizers, such as a Vigenere Cipher page for on-the-go encrypted text and an Astronomy page with a calculated planisphere of current star/planet/moon locations along with other astronomical data. Beyond this, custom user-designed pages can be easily written in LaTeX script and shared in the Plans Unfolding forum and image galleries.
If you'd like more information, the Plans Unfolding home page is at http://www.plansunfolding.com/.

A Digital DiatribeSubmitted by dougj on Tue, 2008-08-05 01:03.
There's a corner of hell reserved for time management gadgets, and I've visited it often these past few months. Conceptually, the ability to manage appointments and to-do lists is so simplistic that 40 years of programming should have made this a no-brainer by now.
The scenario: I want the ability to keep my calendars and tasks in sync between my home, work and mobile gadget. Adding an item to one should propagate it to the others. I should be able to add simple notes, get access to info almost anywhere, and take advantage of the domain to copy and paste data from multiple digital sources. Now, don't get me wrong: I love me my paper planner, but there's only so much you can stuff in it at a time.
Forum: Finding PlannersSubmitted by Jaxia on Fri, 2008-08-01 21:57.
I've been on the hunt for a new planner, and found this site. I'm very excited about creating my own system. However, I've hit a snag. I'm having a really hard time finding any 3-ring classic sized binders. I've tried both Wal-Mart and Target, and looked around on different office store websites. I keep finding 6 and 7 ring binders and it seems like all binder systems are FC based these days, even at Wal-Mart! I thought I'd be in planner heaven since it's back to school time, but no such luck.
The main reason I'm even considering a diy solution is because I love the 1 week in 2 pages view -- VERTICAL. I haven't been able to find many choices.
So, has anyone seen any 3 ring systems lately? Ideally, I'd like to find one that comes with tabbed dividers and such that I can reuse.
Review: Zen to done; or GTD, the easy waySubmitted by paulien on Sat, 2008-07-26 00:33.
I will admit that I am possibly the last person in the world to read this e-book. It has been out for some time and got quite some attention on the web, as I found out this week. But still, for those last few who have been in the same cave as I was in until recently, here is a review of the best e-book I have read in a while: Zen to done.
The book was written by Leo Babuta, the same person who writes the Zen Habits blog. The book is intended as an alternative for Getting things done from David Allen, and indeed also takes many ideas from this and other systems. I have also read that book, but found it a bit overwhelming to implement although it has some great concepts in it. Zen to done seems to understand my problems with GTD and give helpful ideas on how to fix them.
Mac MeltdownSubmitted by steves on Fri, 2008-07-25 07:27.
Greetings! Well, I guess I have to eat crow. I've bragged about how good my Mac is for years, but I finally had a problem. Now, to be fair, my Macs have held up remarkably well. My first Mac laptop lasted for over five years before it died and that was only because I poured a Pepsi in it by accident. So I thought that my new Mac Powerbook would last almost until the cosmos implodes back in on itself. It seemed reasonable, given my history with them. But this time...well, you'll see.
I was having some trouble connecting to the internet and I was playing Slap In The Face. You know, when you phone one tech support person and they can't solve your problem and they get tired of trying, so they suggest that maybe it's somebody else's fault, slap you in the face and run away giggling. It's their favorite game. It goes like this:

Late Die State 1807 BD-1 Quarter Eagle, AU581807 $2 1/2 AU58 NGC. CAC. BD-1, R.3. A lovely coin with frosty green-gold luster and excellent design definition. Only a trace of highpoint wear keeps it from a substantially higher grade.
Die State. A late die state with clash marks on the reverse. These clash marks remained on the die when it began its production run of early dimes.
Appearances. Illustrated in our 1992 ANA catalog.
Obverse Die. Serif of 1 overlaps hair, left serif of 7 lightly touches 0, and right corner of 7 lightly touches bust. lib are closer than BERTY. Seven stars left and six right. Stars 1, 7, and 13 distant from hair, cap, and bust. Star 8 is close to Y. Stars 11, 12, 13 more closely spaced than others.
State a. Perfect.
Reverse Die. Star 11 is sharply recut with a total of 10 points. All E's are missing their upper left serif. D is equally close to the third and fourth feathers. ITED are each slightly higher than their adjacent letter to the left. E and D lean slightly right. First S is slightly low and A is slightly high. The upright of E is over the space between clouds 4 and 5. First A in AMERICA close to the third and fourth feathers. Final A touches the claw. AME and RI are close while ER and ICA are widely spaced. Leaves join I under the right foot and C at the center. Five berries with one stemless, two having short stems, and two having long stems. Only one arrow point extends past the right side of U with the outer arrow point below center of that letter. Thirteen large stars with only star 5 in the top row not touching the clouds. Star 12 has a point between the lower and upper beak with another point touching the ribbon. Star 13 is isolated in the field, not touching devices.
State a. Perfect. State b. Light clash marks.
Heritage Commentary. For the collector who seeks an attractive early quarter eagle, the 1807 is an ideal choice as it represents the most plentiful and widely available date.
Consignor Commentary. This is a late die state with reverse clashing. When I bought this coin, I did not understand that the late die state was harder to find than the early die state. I did understand that the clashes which show on the reverse of the 1807 quarter eagle were also visible on many 1807 dimes. So the reverse of many 1807 dimes has clash marks which reflect the obverse of 1807 quarter eagles. I was intrigued with this "interdenominational die clash" and in 1995 I wrote an article describing and illustrating the clashes for the John Reich Journal.
Provenance. Ex: 1992 ANA (Heritage, 8/1992), lot 460.

The Space
This flat is conveniently located in Sai Ying Pun (near Sheungwan and Central).
It is tastefully renovated and includes
- an open kitchen, with 3-in-1 oven, electric burner, refrigerator with freezer, and other modern kitchen appliances.
- one bedroom with built-in full king sized bed occupying the entire bedroom with fantastic view of the harbour.
- large flat screen TV on a wall mount for viewing from the living room or bedroom, NOW Broadband, Apple TV, Karaoke machine, DVD player.
- Wi-fi, iMac, color printer/copier/scanner.
It is on the 45 floor of a relatively new building (Princeton Tower) and has a fantastic view of the harbor.
It is near the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park which has a beautiful soccer/football pitch, squash courts and olympic size swimming pool. If you enjoy football, you can join (website hidden) for nearby matches. There is a small gym on ground level.
The door has a biometric lock with a password combination that I can provide you to enter the flat.
My helper Vicky lives nearby and can assist if any issues arise during your stay. I will provide you with her number before your stay.
Guest Access
All of the flat and the building gym.
Interaction with Guests
My property manager Vicky is in Hong Kong and will greet the guests and introduce them to the flat and answer any questions or try her best to solve any issues that may arise during their stay. I am also available to answer any questions or resolve any issues that guests may encounter.
The Neighborhood
I love my neighborhood because while the street level offers all the sights and sounds of authentic Hong Kong, you enter my building and are transported into a private sanctuary that is removed from the hustle and bustle. My flat is within walking distance (for me) of Central and SoHo and Lankuaifong, and morning runs or hikes up to and around the Peak are fantastic. The end of Hollywood Road is right above my flat and there are an increasing number of good restaurants and bars on this end of Hollywood Road.
Getting Around
My building is right above the new Sai Ying Pun MTR station which is due for completion this year. (Fingers crossed!) The closest MTR station is only a 10 minute walk in the meantime. Many public buses and minibuses and the tram stop right in front of my building. Hailing a taxi is fairly easy. Try walking to Queens Road in front of Queens Terrace if you are heading up Hollywood Road. The Macau Ferry terminal is also within walking distance.
Please be respectful of my flat. It is my house and I am renting it out while I travel. Please just look after it like your own.
No smoking and no pets.
If you must smoke, please smoke outside on the balcony with the doors closed.
Do not throw any items over the balcony including cigarette butts.
Please do not drink or eat anything on the sofa that may leave a stain. Please do not scratch the stove top with abrasive materials. Please deposit the garbage into the can in the stairwell during your stay and upon check out.
My helper is in Hong Kong to help with any issues that may arise and I will provide you with her contact information upon acceptance of your booking.
I ask for a $30 cleaning fee. If you would like to arrange for my helper to come clean during your stay, please make the necessary arrangements with her directly. When I stay there, I have her come only once a week so I would think that should be sufficient.
I ask for a $300 deposit. This is returned in full on departure provided there is no damage.
If a guest stays for 1 week or more, the guest agrees to have the flat cleaned by my property manager Vicky or her designated cleaner at least once during their stay at their own cost and at Vicky's current hourly rate of $60.
If a guest loses the access card for the side door to the building, I will charge the guest $65 from their security deposit to cover the costs and time involved in obtaining a new card.

The view from the apartment is superb, and we never tired of just sitting down at the end of each day with a drink and looking out at the goings on in the harbour.
The apartment itself (once you tear yourself away from the view) was as described. It is quite cosy and really only suitable for 2 people. The kitchen, although compact, allowed us to make our dinner most evenings as we would tend to eat out for lunch. The bed was very comfortable; the bathroom clean with a good shower; and the lounge area also comfortable.
Dealing with Vicki went reasonably smoothly (no thanks to AirBnB), and the 1 minor problem we had (the WiFi lost connectivity and had to be rebooted) was promptly resolved.
We would stay here again without a moment's hesitation.
This is just a spectacular apartment
On the 45th floor , amazing views of Vict Harbour , very nice , modern building , short walk to train station , plenty of cafes/casual food places around.
Also five minute walk from Harbour promenade if you want to go for a walk or jog etc. Also good sports centre there , large swimming pool , gym etc etc
The apartment comfortably fits two people & is fitted out immaculately. Large screen Mac computer with scanner & excellent internet connection for byo laptop.
My rating 10/10 , book this place, much better than the overpriced hotel scene in Hong Kong
I would not hesitate to recommend the place to family & friends. And will definitely attempt to book it on the frequent trips I make to Hong Kong.
There won't be any hassles with the keypass pickup , Matt has excellent help which is just a phone call away. And that phone is always answered if you need anything.

Great apartment with a stunning view. I enjoyed staying in this great apartment. The apartment and the building are in excellent condition. The communication with Matthew and Vicky was fast and professional. Very central location with a Tram stop just in front of the building. I would highly recommend staying in this apartment when visiting Hongkong!
Apartment was exactly as billed - clean and convenient with a great view and nice amenities. Matt's assistant in Hong Kong made the check-in seamless. Thanks for a great stay.
Wow! What a place - everything we hoped for and more! Fantastic views, great location amongst the old and the new - immediate area was famous for Chinese herbal medicines and seafood wholesalers and the old HK trams were straight outside the door. Views of Harbour and the skyscrapers out back were fantastic. Vicky was very helpful with meeting us and showing us the flat. We made use of the SC kitchen and also ate out at the restaurants nearby. I'd recommend this apartment to anyone.
Warm welcome at Hong Kong Island. To rent the appartment from Mathew was the right decision. Perfect and clean. But the best was the great view over the Harbour and to the ICC. We enjoyed our red wine on the balcony very well. Also to use the Ding Ding was a good experience. Will come back again. Much better than a Hotel.
Although we never met Matt we can't say enough amazing things about his place in Hong Kong! An excellent location paired with a spectacular view makes this place an unforgettable accommodation. As first-time visitors, Matt was more than helpful in providing places near his place to eat and visit and we can definitively say that we would recommend this place to anyone interested in visiting Hong Kong.
