Olympics swimming: Fran Halsall & James Goddard into finals
Britain's Fran Halsall qualified fifth fastest for Thursday's 100m freestyle final after improving on her earlier efforts in the heats.
The 22-year-old clocked 53.77 seconds in the semi-final, with Dutchwoman Ranomi Kromowidjojo fastest in a new Olympic record of 53.05secs.
Fellow Briton Amy Smith finished eighth in 54.28secs, but James Goddard made it into the 200m individual medley final.
Fran Halsall
"Anything can happen in an Olympic final and I'm in it to win it"
Goddard was third in his semi-final behind Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps.
"I'd take finishing behind those two in the final yeah," he told BBC Sport, "but I need to go a lot quicker than that.
"I have worked on my freestyle the last few months and I am hoping it will pay off. I am not swimming as fast as I'd like but I need to sit down with my coach and see what we need to do to go faster."
Looking ahead to her final, Halsall said: "Tomorrow it will take a 52secs to win it. I felt awful this morning but tonight felt really smooth and easy and I cruised the last 10m.
"Anything can happen in an Olympic final and I'm in it to win it.
"The crowd were amazing, but it was just as amazing for Missy Franklin. Any Brits that come tomorrow, I want you to shout louder than the Americans did!"

In Ghudara Village.
Just 10km south of camp lay Ghudara Village, riding through, many arms went up waving for me to come over and stop, So with it being breakfast time that's exactly what I did. The Pamiri houses are simple, open plan rock homes with a mud rendering. From the outside they don't look like much, often painted in plain white or left untouched. Inside though, the raised platform for eating and sleeping around 5 pillars is covered in colorful rugs along with the walls. The roof with exposed beams steps up 5 times in the center (5 pillars of Islam) to the skylight that floods the room with natural light. I'm treated to never ending bread, yoghurt and tea and countless questions while they all huddle around watching me devour their food bite by bite.
Still More Descending.
Continuing on traffic increased from seeing villages hearding their goats to even a tourist land cruiser with the occupants faces all plastered to the inside windows as we pass each other. The hard pack road improves modestly through the day, crossing long sandy sections to find slippery cobble stones that lead up to a steep section prove challenging but the Ural bounces up the road without missing a beat. Further down into the next village of no more than a dozen homes I am asked in for tea and apricots. While my bike is leaning up against a tree in the front yard, their tethered donkey tries to violate my bike until the owner runs over and is yelling and laughing at the same time for it to settle down. Its a bit of laugh and I ride on with a clean seat to Savnob.
River Cobbles makes for tough going.

PETA wanted to make the blow of not being elected president a little easier for Mitt Romney, so they sent him a vegan gift basket. PETA thought their version of a consolation prize would be fitting since Romney was seen eating a vegetarian breakfast burrito and veggie burgers while on his campaign trail.
"Turns out the most reliable polls were those showing an increase in the number of people eating vegetarian and vegan foods," said Ingrid E. Newkirk, president of PETA.
Perhaps a basket of vegan goodies will give Romney a nudge to make a diet change.

Christopher wrote:
I get that in principle, and it's the reason I'm able to enjoy the Abrams films despite their plot and logic holes. But this film is one I don't enjoy that much, for a variety of reasons.
This is where that darn human thing called subjectivity comes in I suppose. Where I find Star Trek II awesome, I'm not so excited about the JJ films, especially this most recent one.
Christopher wrote:
I feel it damaged the franchise by replacing the intelligent, plausible science fiction that Roddenberry aspired to (but often fell short of achieving) with cartoony melodrama and overblown action. I find it too violent and bloody for my tastes, yet at the same time extremely sluggish in pacing (and I'm saying this as someone who likes ST:TMP).
Well this is also debatable, but my guess would be another film like TMP would have
the franchise. And overblown action? Would you not concede that JJ's films rely just as much if not more on action than TWOK? And how did you feel about this new movie lifting line after line from TWOK? Did you not find that terribly corny? Face-palm worthy, even? I only ask because you say you enjoy the JJ films more than TWOK.
Christopher wrote:
It wasn't just "dramatic," it was over-the-top, corny melodrama, like everything else that passes for dramatic in the film (Kirk's "KHAAAAAAANNNN!!!" is the most embarrassingly corny moment in the history of the franchise).
It was so embarrassingly corny that JJ re-used it in the new film, giving the line to SPOCK of all people! If it's corny in its original form, what on earth did you think when you heard it in the new film? You were still able to enjoy it more than TWOK??
Anyway, to me that line and Shatner's delivery is a classic Kirk and classic Shatner moment. Honestly, TOS has corny and melodramatic moments at every turn. How is any corny or melodramatic moment in TWOK a deviation from TOS?
Christopher wrote:
The original goal behind
Star Trek
was to approach science fiction as maturely and naturalistically as any cop show or courtroom drama or medical drama of the day -- to get away from the exaggeration and corniness and broad caricatures of previous SFTV and do a show that was about believable human beings doing jobs that just happened to be in outer space in the future...I think that betrays the original intention behind the franchise. It might be a fun film in its way, but it's not a
film, either on a technical level or a character level, and that's a failure to live up to the original goals of the series.
So then, I guess TOS betrays the original intention as well because it was certainly full of all kinds of exaggeration, corniness and broad caricatures, and many ideas that were definitely not believable. But there was certainly truth and intelligent commentary there as well. And it was entertaining. And I love it! And TWOK lives up to all of that as well. And while there may be plot holes which can be debated (as with all films, really) and technical ideas like genesis which are not explainable today and may never be, it certainly was a believable story to me, and definitely believable on a character level. Truly classic Trek on the big screen if you ask me.
Christopher wrote:
I wrote:
I believe Kirk said "I've never faced death.
Not like this.
" In a sense, every death we face is different...
I think that's bending over backwards to justify a line that doesn't really add up. Again, it's a matter of believability -- I can't believe that Kirk would feel that way about it, that he'd dismiss all the other terrible tragedies he's been through as if they never happened.
That's because Kirk
dismiss his past tragedies. He didn't. He said "not like this." By adding that, he's actually
past tragedies and revealing that this one is different to him. A very real, honest moment and clever writing. Absolutely believable and human.

The radiant surfaces are only minimally abraded, and the eye appeal is formidable for this early type. LM-1 is the sole 15 Stars variety. Apparently, the obverse die was made before Tennessee joined the Union in 1796, or else the engraver simply miscounted the stars. Two 16 Star varieties followed (LM-2 and LM-3) before the Mint decided to return to 13 Stars (for the original 13 Colonies) instead of further crowding the small diameter half dime with star punches.

It went under the radar last week, but strong safety Jeromy Miles re-signed with the Ravens, terms undisclosed, but probably 1 year at the league veteran minimum with not a whole lot of guaranteed money.

A newcomer to film, Michaletos grew up on a farm with cheetahs, so he can act natural around the animals while making this Huck Finn-like character more than credible.
The cheetah is the star in Duma, and no one directs animals more convincingly than Ballard, who knows better than anyone how to integrate patchwork nature shots into narrative action. Too bad the two-legged talking animals aren't as compelling this time out.
A superior all-ages adventure pic made by a filmmaker who knows more than a thing or two about the genre.

Supreme Court to Hear Edie Windsor's Challenge to Defense of Marriage Act
The U.S. Supreme Court today agreed to hear Edith "Edie" Windsor's challenge to the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
After Windsor's spouse Thea Spyer died of multiple sclerosis, Windsor, 83, was forced to pay more than $363,000 in federal estate tax because their marriage was not recognized under federal law because of DOMA. It is undisputed that if Spyer had been married to a man, instead of a woman, no estate tax would have been owed.
Said Windsor, who sued the government for a refund after Spyer's death in 2009. "When Thea and I met nearly 50 years ago, we never could have dreamed that the story of our life together would be before the Supreme Court as an example of why gay married couples should be treated equally, and not like second-class citizens. While Thea is no longer alive, I know how proud she would have been to see this day. The truth is, I never expected any less from my country."
Windsor, who achieved the highest technical rank as a software programmer at IBM, and Spyer, a clinical psychologist, met in the 1960s.
So began the extraordinary tale of Edie and Thea, whose engagement to be wed would span more than forty years. In the film about their life together, Edie & Thea: A Very Long Engagement, directors Susan Muska and Gréta Ólafsdóttir present a lovingly crafted documentary in which two lovers reminisce about how their improbable romance ignited a lifelong journey around the world and through history.
Though they were touched by events like the civil rights movement and the Stonewall riots, Edie and Thea's relationship also transcends politics and serves as a shining example of love's ability to endure.
Ultimately, with both women in their 70s and Thea's health in decline, the two decide its time to fulfill their dream of getting married. The film captures their inspiring journey to Toronto - and Thea's last trip on a plane - where the women are finally able to make their vows. Told with candor, wit, and great affection, Edie & Thea: A Very Long Engagement is an American love story for the ages. The film is available at all major retailers and on Netflix streaming.

Either use Handbrake like others suggested or you could try Super. The name and website are horrendous, but the quality it outputs is quite nice imho. And it's free.
Posted 11 February 2014 - 15:26
Why do people keep suggesting Handbrake for this? It neither supports WMV as an input, nor does it output AVI. It outputs H.264 as MP4 or MKV only.
"Handbrake can process most common multimedia files and any DVD or BluRay sources that do not contain any kind of copy protection." I really thought it supported WMV, been a while since I've used it. But I know for a fact Super supports it, hence the "or you could try..."
Posted 17 February 2014 - 07:34
my wmv file size is 9.3 MB.
I want to convert this to a low sized file and then will send via email ......so that my user can open in windows media player.
I think avi will compress a bit and can be played in windows media player.
Best thing to be honest would be to use ffmpeg - you'll need to learn how to configure it but it'll do a pretty good job.

Rosh Hashanah Recipes
|Etrog Cake
What to do with those leftover Etrogs? Well this is perfect! And if you would like to make this cake when you do not have an etrog, the traditional Sukkot fruit, it also works well with lemons.
2 etrogs (or 2 lemons)
Make a citrus seasoning mixture. Grate the zest of the etrogs with a rasp or citrus zester, being careful to get all the zest off of the citrus without cutting into the pith below the skin. Whisk together the lemon juice and lime juice in a small bowl; whisk in the etrog zest. Set aside 1 tablespoon of this mixture to use later for the glaze.
Mix the batter. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 4- by 8-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper or rub the pan with butter or margarine, and dust it with flour, shaking out the excess. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter or margarine with the 1 1/4 cups of the sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until smooth and scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula after each addition. Beat in the non-reserved portion of the citrus mixture. Add a third of the flour mixture, beating just to combine; then add 1/2 cup orange juice, followed by another third of the flour mixture, another 1/2 cup orange juice, and finally the last of the flour, mixing only until just combined after each addition.
Bake the cake. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean—45 to 55 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for about 20 minutes, then turn out onto the rack to cool completely.
Make the glaze. Meanwhile, stir together the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, remaining 1/4 cup orange juice, and the reserved tablespoon of the citrus mixture in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, just until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the orange liqueur. Let the glaze cool.
To serve, slice the cake and place on dessert plates; drizzle the glaze decoratively over each portion—we like to use a ladle to do this. Garnish each plate with a few orange segments if you wish.
This recipe makes one 4- by 8-inch loaf or 8-inch round cake.

Honeymooners' perfect memories amid palms, peaks
What's the perfect honeymoon spot? Generally, wherever you went on your special trip.
We asked readers to tell us about their honeymoons. Here are three responses:
Jane and Bob Adams of Olive Branch married and honeymooned in May 2008 in what they called "the perfect wedding and honeymoon spot" -- the town of San Pedro on the island of Ambergris Caye in Belize.
"It is a wonderful English-speaking country with warm, friendly people. The island is a simple place with beautiful scenery," they wrote. He is founder and chairman of Adams Keegan and she is in sales at Mednikow Jewelers.
The couple rented a condo at Tranquility Beach about 21/2 miles south of the town. For a more resort-like feel, they suggest Victoria House, and they sing the praises of the Web site vrbo.com for info on great places to stay.
Traveling with them were Keith and Lynette Rochell of Millington, who introduced them.
"It is simple to arrange for the minister, flowers and photographer by e-mail. We even had a small wedding cake made that was decorated with local flowers that was gorgeous for $50.
"We totally fell in love with this place, so much so, that we bought a condo there the day after we got married."
Wes and Allison Bennett, who live in East Memphis, were married in Germantown on Sept. 13, 2008, and spent their honeymoon at Villa Premier Hotel and Spa in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Wes, a UPS courier, and Allison, a compliance analyst with Morgan Keegan, described the trip as "a perfect mixture of relaxation, romance and adventure at the perfect destination."
Villa Premier Hotel and Spa is an all-adult resort in the heart of Puerto Vallarta, they said. The honeymoon suite included a Jacuzzi on the ocean-front balcony and impeccable 24-hour room service.
They also enjoyed a private dinner on the beach, while being serenaded by a Mariachi band.
They were in Puerto Vallarta on Mexican Independence Day and saw a Mexican parade.
"Our fairy tale honeymoon was even better than we imagined it would be," they wrote. "Puerto Vallarta was the perfect place for us to celebrate the beginning of our lives together."
Gavin and Melinda Van Nieuwenhuyze of Oakland, Tenn., were married May 30, 2008, and honeymooned in Gatlinburg. He is a Kroger manager and she is a homemaker.
"His family had been going there on vacations since he was a little boy, but I had never been before," Melinda wrote.
They rented a chalet from Alpine Chalets (alpinechaletrentals.com) with a hot tub on the balcony overlooking the mountains.
"It was absolutely perfect. With a fully equipped kitchen, we planned several intimate dinners at the chalet. We had brought a couple of bottles of wine that had been gifts, lit candles and dined alfresco."
After a few days in Gatlinburg, they traveled to Asheville, N.C., to enjoy a day at the Biltmore.
"It was definitely a honeymoon filled with memory-making times," Melinda said. "With the economy downturn, you do not have to spend a lot of money to still have a wonderful honeymoon."
Hot honeymoons
Here's what theknot.com lists as some hot destinations for honeymoons 2009:
Reethi Rah, Maldives
Dalmatian Coast, Croatia
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Newport, Rhode Island
Anguilla, British West Indies

Bradford, Vermont

The theoretical physicist William Thomson, who was later to become known as Baron Kelvin after his elevation to the House of Lords, had first suggested a version of this thermodynamic law in 1851. In 1874, however, he stated it formally for the first time. This law, which stated that 'there is no natural process the only result of which is to cool a heat reservoir and do external work', effectively outlined the process of entropy. This meant that over time, differences in heat and energy will gradually decrease, and the amount of useable energy in the universe is therefore also gradually decreasing. This became a source of great anxiety in the late Victorian period, in particular the associated idea of the eventual death of the sun.

From Our Editors
Jim's Steakout serves up a classic lineup of philly cheesesteaks, hoagies, and chicken fingers, silencing rumbling stomachs from high noon to high moon with locations throughout western New York.
From lunchtime until as late as 2 a.m. or 5 a.m., each of Jim's outposts fills stingers?or hot subs?with steak and cheese, bacon, and combinations of italian sausage and other meats. Hoagies meet nearly every appetite with three sizes, ranging from a lunch-appropriate four-inch Kaiser roll to an Italian roll that reaches an entire foot long. Whichever size diners choose, they can get their roll stuffed with chicken, provolone, and saut?ed spinach?known as the chicken-in-the-grass hoagie?or any number of other hot or cold ingredients. The menu also rolls out a red carpet for creative sides such as fries smothered in chopped steak and cheese, stuffed banana peppers, and fried mac 'n' cheese bites. To sweeten each classic meal, the kitchen fries up funnel cakes to order.

They didn't like when I said no to there offer, the young kid salesman called the manager in to try his hand with no luck. He got a little wise with us.

Loved this quaint town
They have lots of great night life and fun street performers to watch. The bars were great, a mix of traditional and modern club music. Cool history if you take a town tour.
Insider Tip:There are 3 pubs open past 11, the Front Door was fun, more of a club scene, but lots of young people and good music. Get there early if you want a seat.

New London — The difference between the Democratic incumbent for the 39th House District seat and his Republican challenger became apparent Thursday night when the two men were asked about the $600 million Connecticut jobs bill.
Daniel Docker, who is challenging state Rep. Ernest Hewett, D-New London, in his bid for a fifth term in Hartford, would not have supported the jobs bill passed by the legislature this year, saying the government should stay out of private business affairs and should not use taxpayer money to help private businesses.
"If a private sector business is all that it should be, it wouldn't need taxpayer money,'' Docker said during an hour-long forum sponsored by The Day at the Public Library of New London. "Once again, the governor is using our money.''
But Hewett countered that in addition to giving companies incentives to expand, the jobs bill also includes $10,000 to $250,000 loans for small businesses and subsidized training for those who lose their jobs.
"This bill must have been pretty good, because all but one Republican voted for it,'' Hewett said.
Hewett and Docker had a spirited debate Thursday, touching on state issues such as minimum wage increases and topics closer to home, like state aid to New London.
Hewett, who co-sponsored a bill to raise the minimum wage by 37 cents, said $8.25 an hour is not enough to live on. Docker said government should not mandate how a business spends its money.
Docker said he would only support government plans and regulations that help children without support systems, the physically and mentally disabled, the elderly and those who are retired.
"But leave the rest of us alone,'' he said. "Whenever government tries to legislate every portion of our lives ... whenever government gets involved in something ... they don't do it well. It's always rob Peter to pay Paul."
But Hewett maintained that government is there to help people when they lose a job or get sick or injured on the job. He pointed to $30 million in aid the state gives New London every year because the city is a considered a distressed municipality — a designation that has to do, in part, with the low number of owner-occupied homes.
"Republicans all have the same message — work hard, get an education, get a job and you can make it,'' Hewett said. "My message is, if you fall ... there will be someone to help you. The government will get you back on your feet.''
The 39th Assembly District is entirely in New London and includes the first and second voting districts in the city.

The tandem mirror remains an attractive magnetic confinement geometry for fusion. The absence of toroidal curvature and relatively weak internal plasma parallel current gives the system strongly favorable stability and transport properties. Recent GAMMA-10 experiments demonstrate that sheared plasma rotation suppresses turbulent radial losses. Total energy confinement times calculated for the GAMMA-10 are found to be significantly larger than the corresponding empirical confinement times in toroidal devices. The tandem mirror appears to have a qualitatively different form of drift wave radial transport from that in toroidal devices.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
The real-time engine in Motion 3, a component of Apple's Final Cut Studio 2, gives motion graphics designers the freedom to continually experiment and adjust while they work. Ian Robinson explores how to get the most from this unique application, while also sharing his own essential motion graphics techniques. Along with teaching the fundamentals of video and audio work, he looks at Motion 3's new 3D tools in depth. Ian demonstrates the use of behaviors to create organic movement in particle systems and camera moves without keyframes. He also discusses effective integration with the other Final Cut Studio applications, and much more. Example files accompany the course.
Now you have finished your project and you could easily go up under File and choose Export, but one of the features I love in Motion is the ability to export to Compressor. The reason I like that, when you export something to compressor the file itself will actually move completely to compressor and compress your projects. So you can actually open up the brand new project in Motion and continue working while Compressor takes care of compressing this for whatever format you choose. So I would like to export this for use on a DVD. So go up to File and choose Export using Compressor and you will notice there is a pull down from Export Presets.
Go and click on that and choose DVD and I want it to be the best quality and it's no where near 120 or 150 minutes, so I am going to set it around 90 minutes. The reason I am using this preset, it's the shortest possible time so the resolution is actually set pretty high and I will choose the MPEG 6.2 megabytes per second 2-pass. What that means? When compressor goes to compress this file, it will analyze the file once and then go back and actually compress it for the second pass. So go ahead and choose that and if I had a shorter player range I could check that.
So it only send whatever is in the player range to compressor. We don't need to do that and since we are going to MPEG-2, I don't need to worry about the Use correct project and canvas settings considering that this is going to be a largely compressed file anyway. Let's go ahead and click Export, see what happens. Now it may take a second once you have send your project to Compressor that's because it's literally moving all the files into a separate application. So it is going to take a sec to populate up here and there you go. You will notice it popped up a second tab called Untitled 2, so let's go ahead and save this compressor job.
Go up to File and click Save and it should ask where you want to set it. I will just save mine to the desktop and call it CompressorSettings. Go and click Save and now you will notice that tab has a name on it. So the first option here it's MPEG-2 at this compression rate 2-pass and right here is actually the destination. If you right click or Ctrl+Click in this area, you can change your Destination and I will just set mine to render to the Desktop and then this last field is the name, so I will just call this TitleOpen.m2v.
If you would like a summary of your settings click through the different buttons right here and it will show you all the different settings. The one I wanted to watch for this Compression is this, the Pixel aspect ratio. Since we were working in high definition and this is going to be a standard definition project, I wanted to make sure that compressor knew it was 16 by 9 and it did, so that's great. Now to actually send your file, just click Submit.
Now a Pop-up Menu is come up to ask you the name of this batch because you can set multiple settings and multiple resolutions within Compressor. If you want to find out more about Compressor, you can go to the lynda.com Online Training Library. We will go ahead and just leave the name the way it is and click Submit. If you want to see if your projects finished compressing, open the arrow next to Today and checkout the Progress bar. So sending your projects to Compressor will save your time by compressing the file to whatever format or formats you so desire, allowing you the ability to move on to your next Motion project.

A lyrical bedtime tale of a little boy and his bear is an ode to the magic of dreams — and the transformative power of the imagination.As a little boy falls peacefully into sleep and starts to dream, his teddy bear grows and growls and pops his button nose to turn into a real grizzly bear. And amazingly, the boy becomes a grizzly bear, too — following his friend to the nighttime forest to hunt and prowl, feast and fish until the morning sun returns. David Elliott's spare, poetic text and Max Grafe's luminous illustrations tell a transfixing bedtime story, gently carrying sleepy listeners into dreamland.
David Elliott says that his sister really does have a cat with one eye and that she was the inspiration for the cat in this story (the cat, not the sister).

Day 21, June 21st.
N55 10.343 E75 54.918 - N56 57.288 E63 13.991 (gostinitza)
On the road? Seriously..?
My son Lukas turned 5 years old on June 21st so while prepping breakfast we sang happy birthday to Lukas, 4000kms away from home..
Back on the road at 8am and we were running on fumes. Normally we tried to fuel up before camping to
make mornings less hectic but not this time. Found a gas station 40km away not a moment too soon
according to our calculations.
(we had emptied our rotopax reserve fuel after exiting Mongolia to reduce dead weight)
Once you're off the Trans Siberian highway you'll get plenty of this.
This guy had a spanking shiny homemade setup!
First things first
Passed Omsk swiftly via southern ring road and had lunch at noon. From Omsk to Ishim we were
back on the same stretch of road as on day 5 riding the other direction.
Police was everywhere but we were on top of our game and had no problems avoiding speed traps.
Temperature rose up to +33C feeling chilly and miserable (on The Shortcut) was just a distant memory.
We made good progress and started scouting for a place to stay after riding thru almost 3 tanks of fuel.
First time on this trip we were rejected by a gostinitza. We think it was full but no way of saying
what really went down. Second attempt was a success and we found a good place with the opportunity
to vent and dry our gear once again.
Camping gear gets a well deserved breather
..and guys get a well deserved dinner!
As soon as Jani got better from stomach bug...he got another bug (bite)!
testing, testing..
929km, Total 11910km.
Ritsikirja notes:
- Lukas 5 is years old!
- Busy day avoiding Police
- Sena intercom Gorilla tape fix did not work out. Jani needs to hold the unit with left hand in order to hear anything.
- NO damage today. No rain today. Longest distance per day so far on the trip.

A fantastic trip guys! This is exactly my idea of adventure. Camp and cook when you can. Enjoy the stars and small fires to warm the soul. Treat yourself to a meal a shower and a dry spot from time to time. But most of all don't deny yourself a shortcut. That's when the adrenaline flows and the memories are made. Bravo

Day 22, June 22nd.
N56 57.288 E63 13.991 - N58 47.709 E52 53.260 (gostinitza)
Midsummers eve!
Dep 8:30 after another good breakfast. And after feeling so good about breakfast I made a simple mistake
of leaving my Camelbak on top of my "top box" when hitting the road. Few kms down the road I got this
funny feeling like somethings missing..? The bloody thing had been on my back for 21 days in a row and
yet I was able to forget it that morning!
Turned back and soon found it gutted on the road. Russian Kamaz had turned it into a roadkill.
Weather was hot and moist, felt like rain would appear and greet us soon. Tons of traffic! (again)
Overtaking with my slightly crippled bike wasnt as straightforward as normally and thus the traffic slowed
us down a bit more than normally. Took us 9h to ride the first 500km of the day.
We ran out of local currency and had to make a visit to a bank. Could not find any ATM that would take our cards.
It's "fun" that those ATM's will let you proceed all the way to choosing amount of money and then they spit out your card..
Jani took the challenge and successfully (but not so swiftly) exchanged more rubles for us.
Local bank clerk Tatjana did not win the employee of the week title on that transaction.
Soon after that were flagged down by a police. Second time on the trip! He was most likely just curious
about us street bandit lookalikes and had really nothing to say. Waived us forward after staring at us for a
good moment. Lots of speed traps. We lost count after 20 of em! Once again skill (haha!) and pure luck
got us thru all of them without a ticket.
Again(!) we were turned away from the first gostinitza we tried. Second one was a success. It was a simple
and slightly shady looking small place along the road with just one truck parked in front of it.
Turned out to be probably the best accommodation we had!
A lady and her brother ran the place and they did not speak a word of english.
Our generous hosts
We figured that collecting butterflies could be our next hobby&project..
The guy promised to watch over our bikes and the lady fed us well. We were hoping to get a shower
but thru the language barrier we figured they dont have one for guests. However the guy (forgot their names Im afraid)
promised to heat some water for us to wash up. Or so we thought.
After 45min he came to pick us up and took us down a narrow path towards the woods. Looked suspicious..
Until we saw their sauna. He had heated up a proper sauna and had also arranged beer and birch whisks (vihta or vasta in Finnish) for us.
Sauna drinks and vihta's
We realised that it was Midsummers eve and we found ourselves enjoying a good sauna in the middle of
nowhere, somewhere in Russia!
(FYI, just in case. Sauna is a BIG thing in Finland and midsummers is the biggest party / festivity in
Finland in the summer time.)
Viewer discretion advised..
(And no, there's no calendar for sale.)
One can plan a lot going on a trip like this but this experience was one the unplanned gems and highlights for us!
Riding bikes is fun. Period. But most often the most memorable things on your trip have nothing to do with riding your bike.
794km, Total 12727km
Ritsikirja notes:
- Riding was not smooth today. Traffic and cops everywhere.
- J forgot bike keys on ignition for the evening. Then again, who would have stolen it?
- Awesome sauna on midsummers eve!
- J was slightly hungry (again). Ate two main courses! A growing / widening boy needs energy?

Day 23, June 23rd.
N58 47.709 E52 53.260 - N59 59.189 E42 41.787 (gostinitza)
Early wake up at 6:30 and back on saddle at 7:30 feeling fresh and clean after our sauna excursion.
First two hours went by pretty smooth without traffic. Main task was to keep rims in one piece by avoiding huge
potholes. And by huge i mean humangous. Big enough to hide half a bike in 'em..
We decided that its time to cut the cord and say farewell to my road kill Camelbak. Simple "ceremony" and
I left it at a bus stop.
Im sure someone will find some use for it without the busted bladder.
Camelbak's tomb (can't see the bag that well but it's in the corner on the bench)

Bus stop gymnastics III
Potholes on the road got progressively bigger and bigger. Marching speed went down in relation to
pothole size.
Just when we got on a better stretch of road and left potholes and manholes behind our backs...Janis
Zega Pro pannier called it a day. Janis minor tumble on day 9 must have given the pannier system the
initial shock treatment and potholes were the straw that broke the camels back. The attachment of the
support rod at the back broke and it was time to troubleshoot again. No way of fixing it properly without
welding so we just tightened up remaining bolts and transfered all the heavy stuff to my panniers.
Suddenly my wounded pannier was the king of the road!
We seemed to have created a system of braking stuff every other day
Took a gostinitza once again and fixed what we could on Janis pannier set.
Also the rack attachment point under the seat surrendered. Big washer, tighten the bolt and it's good as new..
845km, Total 13594km
Ritsikirja notes:
- Janis Zega Pro lasted 13330km in one piece. (Mental note: at least consider soft panniers for possible future trips.)
- Janis power inverter broke down. Miikkas bike still has a 220v outlet in the rear box for various charging purposes.
- Seemed like police had a day off after previous days witch hunt.
- Long day on the saddle: 12h50min

Great RR!
On the white bike, did you hydroprint the digital camo pattern on the battery cover? or vinyl?
I've really been considering doing some hydroprinting on my 800, I'm wondering how it's held up.

Thanks man!
It's Oracal wrapping film. Here's a post (#152) I made to another thread a while back:
The bigger side panels are painted but beak and "aft panels" have the camo wrap.
I've had them for 3 summers and about 20000km and they look as good as new (that's subjective..)
Manufacturer says you can remove them without residue within 4 years from installation.
No idea, I may give it a go this summer and try something new.

Day 24, June 24th
N59 59.189 E42 41.787 - N59 56.628 E31 43.250 (camp)
Pancakes and porridge for breakfast and back on the road at 8:20.
Chilly +12C in the morning and downpour began at 11am.
Poor foggy visibility with low temps we needed to stop and add layers.
Weather got worse and worse, mighty difficult to see anything thru visor.
Testing different combinations on helmet visor and Mirage screen height kept us busy most of the day.
Visor 1/2cm open, Mirage fully up...visor x cm open, Mirage x cm down..
Options are endless and I think we tested every possible combination!
I was able to open up visor without too much trouble in order to prevent it fogging up but
Jani was wearing glasses so it was not an option for him. Do that with glasses -> glasses get sprayed
and whatever visibility you had is gone
We began discussing indoor accommodation already at lunch time.
Coffee and gas breaks tended to last wayyy longer than normally and we were in no hurry to proceed..
Had to drop our marching speed again and try to adapt to poor weather. All day went by in a miserable
and wet mood.
Luckily the road surface was WAY better than previous days since there would have been absolutely
no way of avoiding potholes in that visibility.
Finding a place to stay turned out to be a problem. Either we looked too trashy and wet or the price was
ridiculously high. We went thru 4(!) places riding back and forth with no luck and wasted 2 hours on that.
And it was still raining.
Gostinitza Rejection no.2
We did capture the moment of no rain
We carried on further away from town and decided to cut our losses and rough it out.
Our friends mosquitos kept us company when we finally set up our camp in silence and light rain at 10pm.
In 24 days we had created pretty good routine and task sharing setting up a camp site.
I have to say that I personally preferred camping out. No hassle with hauling gear indoors, securing stuff/bike,
sorting out parking, paying and whatnot.
Camping was always straight forward once we found and chose a spot! Ok, rain does slightly reduces the appeal.
But beyond that it's perfect. You have your bike next to you and the bike IS your bedroom closet, kitchen cabinet,
media centre and lov....errrr I mean life line.
After dinner world felt like a better place again but that evening did really not go as planned.
This ain't no fashion show
783km, Total 14399km.
Ritsikirjan notes:
- Roads ok, weather bad. Ride index 2- (on a scale 1 to 10)
- Russian gas stations seemed extra comfy today.
- Finding a place to stay can be difficult. Rain does not help the mood.
- mosquitos found us again. Who ratted us out?!

Day 25, June 25th
N59 56.628 E31 43.250 - home
Coming home.
Morning broke without rain but mosquitos were still there. Jani had a tremendous idea of leaving our
tents there. They are dirty, smelly and wet why on earth haul them home? And its not like we get
to use em ever again anyways.
I pointed out that he may have to fulfil his promise to camp out with his kids one of these years,
so it would be way cheaper to take em with us. So...we packed our camping gear one last time on this journey.
The remaining ride to border was uneventful. Killing time while riding we went thru our list of gear in
order to figure out what should or could have been left home. Spare parts / tools excluded. We came to
conclusion that swimming trunks, mid layer pants and a pair or two of socks could have been left home.
Those were the only items we didnt use on our trip. Everything else seemed to have served their purpose.
Well, GoPro camera could have been left home. The battery life is a pain so it did not get used much at all.
Overall I'd say I that it paid off to fine tune the gear list for weeks and weeks!
We spent our remaining money at a gas station on gas and chocolate. According to our Ritsikirja calculations
the average fuel consumption on our trip was 4,45 L/100km. (53mpg)
Border crossing felt easy and took us less than an hour.
Had lunch on Finnish side of the border and made long overdue phone calls to home.
Seasoned travellers at RUS - FIN border
Finnish tarmac felt smooth as silk. Only problem was to adapt back to normal western traffic rules and
speed limits. We called our official backup guy Tuomas who had been pretty much out of job for the
past 10 days and terminated his assignment. Wed be happy to have him back on any future trip!
Remaining 200kms went by in light rain and I bet we both had the end of the trip -blues going on.
Feeling happy to be back home but at the same time feeling sad that the journey is over..
On Helsinki ring road III MC Chicken Wings parted their ways.
Home sweet home at 4pm.
Jani back home with kids
My first born testing helmet
466km, TRIP TOTAL 14877km
Ritsikirja notes:
- easy border crossing
- guys are mighty tired
- Heidenau Scouts took a helluva beating and got us thru 14877km without a single puncture.
Good choice over carrying two (or three) sets of TKCs.

Trip Complete
Final thoughts.
I think we had a great trip. Cant speak for Jani but I dare to say he thinks the same way.
PLUS we are still friends so the trip must have been success.
Its not always simple to spend 24h a day for weeks even with a good buddy of yours.
I think we did good on that department. Sure we had minor disagreements,
especially on empty stomach! But thats life.
It was pretty awesome to fulfil something we had planned and dreamed about for years.
For me personally getting ready for the trip was also a big part of the whole thing. I like tinkering
with my bike. And tinkering is even more fun when theres a purpose for it.
Many things did not go quite as planned but how much fun would it be if you knew exactly how its going to go?
Adventure begins when a plan fails? (someone smarter than me said that)
In my opinion we were well prepared and I felt like we could handle any reasonable obstacles
on our way. Id say surviving traffic is the biggest real concern on a trip like this. It doesnt pay to be
right on two wheels. Staying out of trouble is the only thing that counts.
If you read all the way here and youve been planning your personal dream trip some day",
my advice is: Do it!
Common sense and sign language take us mighty far. Everything else is fine tuning.
One more advice though. Talk it thru with your significant other(s). Before the trip!
Its not given that normal people understand our need for an adventure on two wheels. Go figure?
Last but not least a short clip of riding in Mongolia:

Life is short. Ride on!

ps. My bike is still under investigation. I have had very little time and will to troubleshoot and furthermore
I had trouble replicating the symptoms in summer 2013. BMW maintenance could
not find any faults when I dropped the bike for valve maintenance..

Best layed plans of mice & men
Not the low level hi-speed bomb run you expected ? Nor me for that matter, as I knew that mother nature, politics people, & circumstances have a way of changing even the best of plans.
So for me this was a fun trip & thanks for the ride along, it was great & I enjoyed ever post.
Lets do it again some time soon.

A transferable record may be executed using an electronic signature.
(2) Other definitions
The terms "electronic record", "electronic signature", and "person" have the same meanings provided in section 7006 of this title.
(b) Control
A person has control of a transferable record if a system employed for evidencing the transfer of interests in the transferable record reliably establishes that person as the person to which the transferable record was issued or transferred.
(c) Conditions
A system satisfies subsection (b) of this section, and a person is deemed to have control of a transferable record, if the transferable record is created, stored, and assigned in such a manner that—
(1) a single authoritative copy of the transferable record exists which is unique, identifiable, and, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (4), (5), and (6), unalterable;
(2) the authoritative copy identifies the person asserting control as—
(3) the authoritative copy is communicated to and maintained by the person asserting control or its designated custodian;
(4) copies or revisions that add or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy can be made only with the consent of the person asserting control;
(5) each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy; and
(d) Status as holder
Except as otherwise agreed, a person having control of a transferable record is the holder, as defined in section 1–201(20) of the Uniform Commercial Code, of the transferable record and has the same rights and defenses as a holder of an equivalent record or writing under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, if the applicable statutory requirements under section 3–302(a), 9–308, or revised section 9–330 of the Uniform Commercial Code are satisfied, the rights and defenses of a holder in due course or a purchaser, respectively. Delivery, possession, and endorsement are not required to obtain or exercise any of the rights under this subsection.
(e) Obligor rights
Except as otherwise agreed, an obligor under a transferable record has the same rights and defenses as an equivalent obligor under equivalent records or writings under the Uniform Commercial Code.

If requested by a person against which enforcement is sought, the person seeking to enforce the transferable record shall provide reasonable proof that the person is in control of the transferable record.
