Aztecs look to right the ship vs. SJSU
Can Xavier Thames shake out of his slump?
After six weeks ranked in the top 10 of the Associated Press top 25 poll and a streak of 20-straight wins, San Diego State has dropped seven spots in the polls thanks to two losses in the last two weeks.
Now ranked No. 13, the Aztecs (23-3, 12-2) come home to face San Jose State (7-19, 1-13) Tuesday night at Viejas Arena in a game that they hope will help restore their equilibrium.
In its first year in the Mountain West, San Jose State has struggled in league play. The Spartans lost 13-straight league games before finally clinching a 66-64 win over Nevada last Tuesday.
The Spartans have had the last week off, and they come to San Diego to face an Aztecs' team determined to extend its 39-game win streak against teams from the state of California.
SDSU was taken out of its element in New Mexico, and the top two teams in the Mountain West played a brand of schoolyard ball that kept them off the free throw line. That worked against the Aztecs, who thrive on getting to the line.
"Part of our (modus operandi) is getting to the free-throw line 30 times a game, and we got there three times (on Saturday) and didn't make any," SDSU coach Steve Fisher said Monday.
What became clearer than ever in Albuquerque was the fact that SDSU has yet to find a pure shooter who can keep them in games when the other team starts to pour in the points.
Point guard Xavier Thames has been that guy for the Aztecs for most of the season, but he has struggled lately.
Thames' season points average is 16.8, but he's failed to hit double digits in the last two games, and he's averaged 9.3 points over the last four games – beginning with the defeat at Wyoming.
Thames went 3 of 15 from the field at New Mexico and finished with seven points. Prior to that, he went 1 of 9 for four points against Utah State.
So what's changed? Have teams simply figured out how to shut down SDSU's point guard?
Fisher doesn't think opponents have done anything different against Thames in recent games. But he also acknowledged that Thames might be trying a little too hard to work out of his problems.
"Everybody, when they prepare for us, Xavier Thames is one on their scout board, that's not just the last four games," Fisher said, "Is Xavier Thames pressing a little bit to try to score? I think maybe a little bit.
"He had a lot of good looks he didn't make (against New Mexico). He had a handful of hard shots maybe he shouldn't have taken… I think he tried too hard occasionally to get some shots in the last game."
The Aztecs became their own worst enemies against the Lobos, Fisher said.
"We as a group collectively fell into what we want other teams to do: Shoot on one pass, and didn't swing the ball from side to side," Fisher said. "Hopefully we'll be better with that (against San Jose State)."

Seven Weird Female Monsters From Around the World
Subscribe to our newsletter
Weird male monsters get a lot of play these days. But what about terrifying monsters who happen to be ladies? After all, just because you happen to be female, doesn't mean that you can't emerge from the grave or the depths of Hell to stalk, hunt and kill the innocent. Here are some unique female monsters from around the world.
Aswang (The Philippines)
Okay, she has a funny name, but apart from that this female vampire-like creature is pretty scary. She's a shapeshifter that can pass as a normal person during the day, but turns into a winged creature or animal by night. She has wings that sound louder when they are further away, and softer when they're close by, or maybe RIGHT BEHIND YOU. Aswang often eat small children or corpses, and then replace their bodies with a copy. They can be repelled by coconut oil, salt, or uh, certain bodily fluids.
One special form of Aswang is Manananggal or 'self-segmenter', which can detach her winged upper body from her lower torso and fly away. You can kill these things by finding the abandoned torso and smearing salt or garlic on the open wound so the upper half won't reattach. Although if you stumble upon a standing torso and aren't 100% sure it's an Aswang, you might want to call the police first.
Rusalki (Russia and the Ukraine)
Rusalki are the spirits of women who have died while carrying an illegitimate child, who died in or near a body of water, or who committed suicide. At night, they emerge from the bodies of water in which they live to climb trees.
They can also be found dancing with other Rusalki. Usually they're pale, beautiful young women with very long, wet hair. They can often be seen combing it, and if they allow their hair to dry out, they die.
These girls aren't very friendly. They'll often seduce men or lure them into the water, after which they will drown him. Other times they are said to 'tickle people to death', which is surely a lot less fun than it sounds. According to legends, just hearing the laughter of a Rusalka can kill you. Occasionally they can also be found in meadows and near rivers singing and dancing, and they often use this to lure in men as well. According to some sources it's possible to capture, baptize and marry them, although we wouldn't recommend trying this.
The teachable moment here is: If you meet a Russian or Ukrainian babe in the forest who looks like she just got out of the shower and wants to seduce you, do the wise thing and tell her to use a hairdryer first.
Lamia was originally a human, the queen of Libya, who had an affair with Zeus and bore several of his children. For those of you that don't know, Zeus was really a bit of a jerk both when it came to cheating on his wife and the way he treated his mistresses. Unfortunately, Zeus' wife Hera was also a bit of a jerk, and when she found out about the affair she punished Lamia by uh, making her eat her own children. Apparently Lamia then developed a taste for them. Either due to her guilt or due to Hera's curse, she also transformed into a monster. Sometimes she is depicted as a mixture of creatures, other times as part-serpent. Interestingly, the name actually means 'great shark'. We're not quite sure what to make of that.
There are many similar female monsters from all over the world who are said to prey on young children: Lilith in Jewish mythology, Abyzou in Eastern Europe, and Gylou in Europe and the Near East. A lot of these female demons are used as threats on poor kids who have been misbehaving: "If you don't behave better, Lilith/Lamia/etc will come and take you."
Baba Yaga (Eastern Europe)
Baba Yaga is another monster who is often used as a bogeyman to threaten kids with. She flies on a mortar (no, not that kind of mortar, the type you use to grind grain. Although the other type would also be cool) and lives in a log cabin supported by chicken legs and surrounded by a fence made of human bones. If only all boogeymen creatures were that awesome. As for her behavior, Baba Yaga is usually a lot like the witch in Hansel and Gretel, kidnapping children and threatening to eat them.
Baba Yaga's chicken-leg house might have originally been based on real storehouses and tombs once used by Siberian nomads, who build them on top of tree stumps that resembled legs. Whether they kidnapped and ate children is not known.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 9/26/12
With the 2012 season long ago cast aside as a lost cause, the Boston Red Sox are pulling out all the stops to keep fans interested for the final two home games, and Tuesday night that meant celebrating the eighth anniversary of the 2004 Curse-busting champions. Over 20 members of that team were on hand at Fenway Park before the Sox dropped a 5-2 decision to the Tampa Bay Rays, and as they cruised around the field in Duck Boats to raucous applause, it crystallized just how joyless the 2012 club has been. Fixing this team's wayward chemistry will be one of the main priorities of the offseason. Former Sox standouts like Pedro Martinez and Kevin Millar discussed the importance of chemistry. "You hear that a lot, 'What's chemistry? If you don't have players, you don't have chemistry,'" Millar said. "Bull, bull, bull, bull, OK? You've got to pull for each other. You're not fooling us. We can fool you guys. You can say the right thing, and we know a few of the teams out there that sa...

Almost Uncirculated 1893-S Dollar1893-S $1 AU50 NGC. The 1893-S has a mintage of 100,000 coins. In Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States, David Bowers mentions that tens of thousands of 1893-S dollars may have been melted under terms of the 1918 Pittman Act (in which more than 259 million silver dollars were melted for resale to England at $1 per fine ounce). Bowers estimates that between 4,000 and 8,000 '93-S dollars are extant in the grade range from VF20 to AU58. This AU50 example has bright silver-gray surfaces with touches of light olive toning, and significant mint luster remains in some of the protected areas. The design elements are nicely defined, though touches of weakness show in the hair above Liberty's ear, and on the eagle's breast and leg feathers. A few small abrasions are evident, particularly on Liberty's face. This desirable key date coin will make a fine addition to a high-grade circulated collection of Morgan dollars.

Saturday, May 21, 2005
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Shannon JenkinsSummertime means extra cash for many teens. In south metro Atlanta, high school students and soon-to-be graduates are already working or have jobs lined up. Lynda Taylor, a work-based learning coordinator at Lovejoy High School, said the most common jobs for teens remain in food service and retail. "Fast-food restaurants are almost always hiring teens who truly want to work," she said. "There are a number of retail stores who still hire young people under 18. Many of the managers of theses businesses realize they are serving their community by hiring young people as well as tapping a source of future managers for their companies." However, Taylor said more and more businesses are requiring employees to be 18 years of age. "I think this is primarily a reaction to our current economy," she said. "Five years ago, the economy was much different, and teens literally had their pick of jobs." But once a person is 18, she said, the job market is very open and receptive. The city of Riverdale is one summer employer looking to hire youths between the ages of 14 and 16 within the city limits as part of its Mayor's Youth Environment and Conservation Summer Employment Program. Teens will spend the summer protecting, beautifying and improving the city's public property. This is the first year Riverdale has offered the program, and city officials hope to finish raising at least $30,000 to fund the youths' wages. City Manager Iris Jessie said the city plans hire about 30 teens. Calls about the program average about 10 a day she said, and the city has received approximately 25 applications so far. Jessie said she believes the summer employment will benefit its participants. "They'll have an idea of what it takes to thrive in their jobs," she said. "The more experienced you are, the better employee you'll be." Job experience has to begin somewhere, she said, and "we'd like to offer individuals their first work experience." Riverdale teens interested in the program, call Jessie at (770) 997-8989, extension 135. For everyone else, Taylor offered a few suggestions for teen job searchers. "I tell students looking for part-time jobs to select an area where they wish to work and apply at several businesses," she said. "After about a week, if they haven't heard from any of the places where they applied, they should call and ask if the manager had a chance to look at their application. I also tell them to remember managers will look favorably on applicants who can complete an application correctly and completely." Once teens land an interview, Taylor said they should remember three things - appearance, attitude and manners. At Bruster's Ice Cream on Jodeco Road in McDonough, job seekers must stand out among the competition. Owner Christina Parker said the dessert establishment receives about 400 applications each season, which typically runs from late February to August. Applications are screened, and the interview process includes a 20-minute phone interview. When it comes down to selected crew members, Parker said potential employees participate in an "American Idol" inspired interview where they are scored on job-related skills and customer relations. But, Parker said the company isn't looking for the perfect employee. Instead, she wants to find teens Bruster's can shape into ideal workers. "We purposely put them in successful spots," she said. "We try to build successes for them so they know what it's like and will strive for success more." Parker said the company intentionally hires young people to offer them job experience because they are the future workforce. About 20 of 25 employees are teens, she said, and the company strives to help build its workers' self-esteem and offer them life lessons and work ethics. Seventeen-year-old Brittany Ward joined the Bruster's team a year ago. She said wanted the job because it seemed like a good atmosphere and she liked working with people. The Eagle's Landing High School junior plans to work with children one day as a dental hygienist and she said she believes her experience at Bruster's has built her customer skills. Other teens seem equally appreciative of their work experience. Brandon Hopper, 18, begins his job as a cashier at Macy's in Southlake Mall on May 30. The Hampton resident and Lovejoy High senior, previously worked at IHOP and found his new job after a week of searching. "I wanted to work during the summer to earn money for college in the fall," he said. Hopper said he's planning to gain better people skills, which will "be helpful in everyday life regardless of what I do." Fellow Lovejoy senior Brittany Hinkle will help set up breakfast and prepare pastries along with other kitchen duties at the Grand Hyatt in Atlanta. The 17-year-old is anticipating the opportunity. "I plan to be a pastry chef and this will give me great training," she said.

Eden Things to Do
I picked up the "Killer Whale Museum" brochure at Eden Visitor centre.

A snug fit
Australia has an internationally famous yacht race called the Sydney to Hobart. The last place of refuge on the New South Wales coast for boats in trouble is Eden and it is expected that every year some boats will put in here.One of its main attractions is that getting in there doesn't involve crossing a treacherous river mouth and associated sand...more

On the roadway on the other side to where the museum is located there are some pleasant views out over Twofold Bay and, here and there, you will see the residences of "those who can afford".more
A reminder
When the trawler "Shiralee" went down with all hands in August, 1978 the good townsfolk realised there was no memorial to any of such disasters and so this wall and garden was born overlooking the entrance to the bay where the trawlers come and go.more
Cure worse than the ailment?

They remained in the whale for about an hour and a half on this occasion, the temperature of the carcass staying at about 105 degress (40 celcius). The heat is greater in some whales than in...more
Better than Moby Dick
The Killer Whale Museum is certainly one of the most unique museums in Australia. Situated on a hillside on the corner of Imlay and Cocora Streets in Eden the building depicts the history of whaling in the local area. The highlight of the exhibition is the story of a killer whale known locally as 'Tom' and his fellow killers who were responsible...more
Interesting stuff....
The Eden whaling museum is a stones throw from the Crown and Anchor Inn. While I find whaling itself highly objectionable, this, nonetheless, was an interesting exploration of an activity that once sustained this community. Indeed, it was responsible for its very existence."Old Tom" was a killer whale who was known to assist the local whalers in...more
Whale watching
The absolute highlight of our visit to Eden was a half-day whale watching cruise on the catamaran 'Cat Balou'. Heading out from Eden Wharf we passengers were all put to work scanning the horizon for the "blow" which would indicate whales in the vicinity. Once spotted the boat would then head towards the general location and idle there, waiting for...more

Eden Nightlife
the Eden Fishermen's Club: Don't bother with...
The Eden Fishermen's Club offers food, bars and poker machines - it's the equivalent of the RSL in many other towns.
Unfortunately the food is pretty dreadful and overpriced to boot. I had one of the worst meals of my life there - vegetables that were unrecognisable and totally inedible.
I believe there is live music on weekends, which may be worth a look. Otherwise, as far as ambience goes, head to one of the pubs or get a video!
Eden Transportation
Melbourne to Eden
There are flights to nearby Merimbula but they're quite expensive. Some of the Melbourne - Sydney buses also used to stop there but I'm not sure if they still do.
Car is by far the best means of getting to and around Eden. And there are other beautiful places nearby, both along the coast and inland, which are difficult to tour by public transport.
Bicycle would certainly be an option for the fit (it's quite hilly along this coast and inland).Related to:

- Whale Watching
Eden What to Pack
Binoculars, warm clothes and swimming...
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Warm clothes and shoes and a waterproof jacket are recommended for the whale watching cruise.
Photo Equipment: I really wish I'd had a video camera to film the whales leaping from the ocean! Bring one if you can.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Swimming costumes are a must as the beaches are gorgeous. There are plenty of camping grounds in Eden, some right on the beach.
Miscellaneous: Binoculars are marvellous for spotting whales on the horizon, as well as dolphins and the varied bird life of the area.Related to:

Eden Favorites
I'd been to Eden many times before but usually in summer, and never during the whale watching season. In future my visits there will always be in September-November. On our last day in Eden a small pod of whales came right into the bay and frolicked near the rocks just below where we were staying - accompanied by 2 or 3 dolphins! We'd planned ot...more

Ulladulla Beach
This is actually a nice beach....but this was taken during the Sydney Bushfires (the 2002 ones not the current lot). Sydney is 300 - 400 kms up the coast from here, but the thick smoke still hangs and makes visibility very poor, and even worse for photography (in some cases not even worth getting out the camera).

Critique of Judgement
In the Critique of Judgement (1790) Kant offers a penetrating analysis of our experience of the beautiful and the sublime, discussing the objectivity of taste, aesthetic disinterestedness, the relation of art and nature, the role of imagination, genius and originality, the limits of representation and the connection between morality and the aesthetic. He also investigates the validity of our judgements concerning the apparent purposiveness of nature with respect to the highest
interests of reason and enlightenment.
The work profoundly influenced the artists and writers of the classical and romantic period and the philosophy of Hegel and Schelling. It has remained a central point of reference from Schopenhauer and Nietzsche through to phenomenology, hermeneutics, the Frankfurt School, analytical aesthetics and contemporary critical theory.
J. C. Meredith's classic translation has been revised in accordance with standard modern renderings and provided with a bilingual glossary. This edition also includes the important 'First Introduction' that Kant originally composed for the work. -less

When is your next weekend workshop?
I really wanna go to one of your weekend workshops my parents when to one and they are doing so much better they hardly ever fight and they act more in love now then they have in years. I myself am not married yet but we are engaged but the past few months we have been fighting nonstop no about wedding things but about every little detail. My parents think this would be a great help to us and we want to work on our relationship because we truly love each other . So my question is would we be able to go to a weekend workshop not being married but engaged? I know the workshop is a marriage workshop that's why I'm asking .
We went to the Oct weekend in French Lick. Thank you so much! We had a fabulous time and learned a lot! God bless you all!
We really really wanted to go to this one. A friend of ours just told us about it, and she and her husband are going. If you have cancellations or by some miracle have more openings, please let me know. We need this! Thanks!!
I also would like to go to the January workshops, since we missed this opportunity. I'll be checking back to apply early for that one.
Good afternoon everyone! I recently attended this weekend and I must say that it was a wealth of great knowledge and would well worth your wait until another weekend can be funded. The calendar says there is another weekend in January so start checking the site each week now. It will be worth it, I promise.
I just learned about this amazing opportunity today and it is full. When can you apply for the next one and how??
I called and spoke with a gentleman last week about the trip…unfortunately I was not able to apply for it, I was not near a desk top computer at the time. If my some miracle chance, anything might come open, we would love to go. My husband is a disabled vet–retired from the Army and we could really use this.
Thank you!
Amber Ferguson
Is this event closed completely or are there available spots for those willing to pay? If so, what is would the cost be?
we sent our applications several times. I haven't heard anything bk??? But our friends have? Did you get our applications?
I completed the application on Monday morning but I haven't heard anything yet. How do I know my application was recieved?
Hi! Is eligibility to attend free based on household income?
Will there be any more scheduled after November?
Would like to go with my husband.
How many couples will be accepted for this workshop?
Will the application go through using a tablet or will that be like using a smartphone?
Just applied and convinced my husband to give it a try! I am excited for the opportunity!
is the workshop available to non married "committed relationship" couples?
my wife reamona and i are looking forword to this weekend
There is no application once I click on the link.
I cannot find a link to a application or any working links to apply for the nov weekend??

Thanks for the offer silgletrackslayer, I hope to be getting into some of the welding and fab in the coming months. I'll post some pictures of my efforts for some critique.
Sadly not a lot of major progress since the last upgate still just tackling one job at a time. I've been looking at houses which sucks heeps of time as well. Good news is I boutght one, even better news is it's got a big shed so I can get set up properly. Can't wait to be working off a bench for a change and have a vice plus mount my grinders ect properly. Still almost two months off yet but something to look foreward to.
I've started sorting out what's needed to make new oil lines and hoses. All the standard fittings on the frame and oil cooler are JIS a japanese standard tube fitting and not that common. I'll be cutting them all off and welding on JIC fittings a much more common and readily available type of fitting that I can get for nix from work. I have also cut up the old oil lines and removed the special ends that go into the engine. I'll get these plated and reuse them later on new hose.
I also did a small repair to the stator cover. As I mentioned early in this thread this bike was ridden on the salt flats a lot and it has eaten into the magnesium engine side covers in some areas overall it's not that bad I can just clean it up with a file and get them powdercoated, however this one needed a little clean up.
One of my last big ticket items is now sorted out as well. The tyres that came on the bike are great but not DOT approved so I had to buy new tyres. I'm going for full rego and have to take it over the pits and so needed something that would pass the inspection. I'll keep the old ones to use later or for a trip. Also went for a set of ultra heavy duty tubes.
Got these crf 450 wheels for a good price off ebay through extreme powersports Australia. My experience with these guys was great and I'll get a set of motard wheels off them as well whenever the build is finished.
Put all that lot togeather and I've got these ready to go.
I'm currently working on machining the swing arm to take the crf axle and brake this will take me a little while to get sorted, plus plenty of other smaller jobs.

Been following you and we need updates man!
Your build is coming along nicely, faster than mine, and it´s making me itch.
I´m waiting on my frame and some parts that my brother painted but the waiting is
killing me. I´ve got a few boxes of new and shiny stuff to fit but still no frame!!!!
Come on man, it´s our food...

Progress is still happening slowly. My Computer crashed and burnt so that's why I haven't posted any updates lately. I'm at work for a week at the moment and can finally give you guys somesort of update, unable to post pics for the moment. The slot in the rear of the swingarm has been machined to accept the crf axle. It has also had all brackets ect cut off. The slot has also been extended foreward by the difference in the radius from the new axle to the old one. This ensures the new axle will have the same centerline when it is right foreward.
I have decided to make a new steering stem rather than machine the crf item. I just don't like the idea of reducing the wall thickness of that part. I have done all the measurements and drawn up the stem and spacer that i need to make in cad. Just need time to get it done now.
I bought a cylinder sleve and forged piston kit (102mm). Engine displacement will be 650cc. I've been doing a lot of work preparing the engine for soda blasting, removing casting marks and a weld repair on a front sprocket cover mount. I've removed the broken exhaust studs and tapped the holes ready for helicoils. I've stripped the head and rocker cover completely including pushing out the old valve guides. The rockers aren't in bad condition with only one needing replacement along with it's piviot shaft. A number of the 6mm threads in the head were stripped so I've drilled out all of the 6mm threads in the top end and tapped them ready to be fitted with helecoils. No more stripped threads here, ever. Still got some to do but I hope the get the engine ready for blasting within the next two weeks.
I'll post pics as soon as I get the chance and try to keep the progress rolling.

You have done some good work. I guess it is easier to restore these bikes in the US, than in South Africa. The most simple part can not even be bought here, never mind the engine parts.
I am afraid that the day will come when I have no choice than to repair my XR with imported parts which will cost me a fortune.
Keep on building!
looking forward to an update and final product.

Overdue Updates
Finally got a new computer so I should be able to keep A better track of my progress. It has been slow and steady lately. Trying to get what I can done in between my million other jobs rennovating a house and work. The big shed turned out to not be so big when all the other crap went in and the work area is very tight so a bigger new shed is on the way. Can't wait to finally have a propper workshop.
Smoothed out all the casting marks and disused castings from all the engine cases and components then had them all glass bead blasted.
Smoothed out
Blasted and finished
Weld repair on a broken engine case
Origionally I had these parts soda blasted but this was no good. Wasn't abrasive enough to remove all the old baked on mud and blend in all the filing and machine marks. The glass bead blasting worked perfectly.
The CRF tripple clamps i'm using were also given a work over. All of the casting marks were filed off and smoothed out then I polished them.
Once all this was done the engine cases were asembeled and the whole lot masked up using heat proof tape ready for powdercoating. The tripple clamps are also getting powdercoated clear.
The cylinder has had the sleve fitted and bored oversize ready to go, this was also blasted.
I've also measured up the crank and pressed it apart ready to fit the new carillo rod. Haven't had a chance to put it back togeather yet. I had to make a special pin so I could get it apart without removing the counterbalance gear.
Got all the parts to rebuild the head but before I do this I want to weld on a set of big fins.
I also bourght this second hand to fit up
I've never ridden with one on a dirt bike but after using one on my vtr roadie i'm guessing it'll be worth every cent.
Still working on a heep of other bits and pieces as well and will keep updated as I get them done.

Very cool build. I did something similar to a '97 XRL and it was too much fun, these bikes are built like brick houses. The big fin head, oil cooler and big bore are the best mods ever for these bikes. Good luck and I'm looking forward to the final product.

Slow and steady as usual
I made the decision today and the engine cases are going to be powdercoated with a textured saturn black similar to harley crankcases. I saw this photo on a cyclewizard post and think it looks awesome. This is what i'm shooting for with my engine.
I won't be touching the bike for a while as i'm going to work offshore for 5 to 7 weeks. The speed of progress on this build is realy starting to frustrate me. On the upside when I get home the new shed will be going up and i'll have a few weeks off to get some work done on the XRF! ( Yes i've dubbed it the XRF)
Mucked around with some minor stuff tonight.
Broken rear brake reservoir cap replaced.
Fitting this cap highlighted yet another part to add to my genuine parts order. The rubber underneath is broken and needs replacing.
At this stage i'm just making a list of everything that I need genuine so I can place one big order all togeather. Still can't believe how huge the savings are buying the same parts from the states including postage rather than from a honda dealer 10 mins away. I've shown them the prices and would prefer to buy local but they tell me they just can't come close to matching the prices.
Fitted a rear caliper guard
As you can see the rear wheel is fitted apart from wheel spacers. I plan on making these from titanium hydraulic fittings I aquired from work .
That's a little lathe job to be done down the track. The cyclewizard chain adjusters also had to be machined out to fit the crf axle.
The headlight is going to be from a 2012 yamaha wr 450. I think the light will suit the bike overall. But I mainly chose this light because the actual light is mounted high in the surround. Giving space underneath for the oil cooler. I plan on cutting out the section below the light to allow airflow through to the oil cooler. Definately not a cheap option but after looking at a lot of other lights it's one i'm most happy with. All mounts will be custom made once i get the front end in.
I did say at the start of this thread thad i'de build my own exhaust. Well that will be partly true when I get to making the middle section. Time is the hardest thing for me to spend on this project. Everytime i'm looking at it I just can't wait to get it built and go riding. I got a big gun big bore header off ebay to fit up, I've already bent the tube to make the mid section from, thats them in the background.
And the part of this bike that I love the most is taking shape.
Ever since I was a kid and saw the Jonny Cambell HRC twin exhaust xr 600's racing in the baja 1000 I thought they looked awesome and always wanted one, now all that's left is to attach this to my XR and i'll have what I always wanted Gotta love building your own bike
As I said That's it for a few weeks while i'm at work. But the plan is in place to get stuck in and make some serious progress when I get back home.

1884 Gold Dollar, PR65 Ultra Cameo1884 G$1 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. CAC. Business-strike gold dollars of 1884 are often seen with reflective fields, causing early catalogers to list many circulation-strike examples as proofs and inflating their estimates of the surviving population. Proofs are slightly more available than dates from previous years, but they are less plentiful than one might imagine from the mintage of 1,006 pieces. Apparently, quite a few proofs were used for jewelry purposes, which severely reduced the supply of coins available for numismatists.
Single Finest at NGC
Single Finest at NGC
The present coin is a magnificent Gem specimen, the single finest Ultra Cameo example certified at NGC (7/11). The fields of this piece go "black" with unfathomable depth of reflectivity when the coin is angled in the light. Contrasted against this is the thick mint frost on the devices, which creates a stark, two-toned appearance. Close inspection reveals the orange-peel effect seen on many proof gold pieces from this era. A few tiny lint marks are scattered over each side, and there is a shallow flake in the obverse field below the chin of Liberty. This coin should be a welcome addition to a fine collection of gold dollars.(Registry values: P1) (NGC ID# 25EU, PCGS# 97634)

Reach: Song Review, 2013David Sinclair, music critic for the Times, reviewing an unreleased track called Reach from my forthcoming album Welcome To The Ball, describes it as "dark, dramatic and atmospheric. "I close my eyes and I'm floating in the clouds, I'm drifting in the sea," he sings as the music swirls around him in growing waves of electro-orchestral sound, and a sense of agitated desperation gradually engulfs him. "Angry voices close in on me so I start to run, run, run... The pain it comes, comes, comes." They could use this as the soundtrack for one of those Scandinavian TV murder-thrillers. With its deep sense of mystery and foreboding, this is music with real character...."

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Manu Ginobili had 20 points and the San Antonio Spurs set a season high for points in a 126-100 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night. DeJuan Blair added 19 points and Danny Green had 15 for San Antonio (8-2). Tony Parker and Tim Duncan each scored 14 points while playing 25 and 23 minutes, respectively. Danilo Gallinari scored 15 and Kenneth Faried finished with 14 for Denver (4-6), which has lost three straight games for the second time this season. The Spurs shot 54 percent from the field, including a 16-for-20 performance from 3-point range. San Antonio never trailed by less than 18 points in the second half. With the outcome in little doubt, one of the few second-half highlights came when Tiago Splitter dunked over JaVale McGee with 7 minutes remaining. The dunk caused Duncan to leap out of his chair in celebration. Duncan gave San Antonio its largest lead at 74-42 on a pair of free throws with 7:49 left in the third. Stephen Jackson made h...

Yea, verily! Excellent commentary on a seemingly reoccurring meme in the Anglican Communion. The Anglican Covenant tried to do much of the same thing. And that is stillborn.

The problem seems to me that too many see the 'large church' image and the corporate image in the same light. Yes, in the larger congregations such business methods seem quite correct, but the Church has never been about corporate structure on any level.

There was a reason that when the size levels of the various congregations that those churches over 300 were originally called 'corporate' or 'corporation' sized churches instead of 'resource'. In order to be 'efficient' they had to use corporate types of administration techniques to survive.

We Episcopalians have mostly been teethed in the small congregations of small towns. We were gathering places where the priest didn't rule, but ministered to the people--a parson (person) was raised up to minister, taught,preached and offered soul healing to those who came to do the ministry of Christ.
In this corporate structure offered by TREC, I am seeing the same desire to make us 'efficient' rather than helping us to embrace holiness.

I am of the opinion that there does need to be a balance between the orders and there has to be a willingness for all orders to take their place in the policy making of the Church. Efficiency is not our goal. Love is that cancels fear, is.

Brava and thank- you.
Writing from Canada, some may think this issue is not mine, but as a member of the Living Body of Christ, it is my sense that it is the laity; our sister, ordained, consecrated and lay; and my own LGBTI tribe that Spirit is using to save the Church from itself.
The impotent boondoggle within the House of Purple Shirts you identify is- to my mind- the crucial indicator of what this struggle is really about: Church as institution OR Church as the transformative, Living Body of Christ. and once again witnessing this as a Canadian, it is my sense that once again TEC is leading the way- all the provinces/denominations have this ahead of them.... now how do we get this particular post wider distribution than just your personal blog? thank-you Katie: love from Montreal.Davidhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-25082628.post-14419398993238066152014-09-06T23:47:09.924-05:002014-09-06T23:47:09.924-05:00Alleluia, amen, from Diocese of San Joaquin.

Dear fellow Panoramio ! I turn to you in connection with the recently released aa new format and additional keys you agree , please spread it among your friends ! Panoramio has introduced a new format to ensure that users are not asked . Could be linked to the old format (when I could still fix things that can not be the new one ) a while back , but it can also be eliminated. The current new format function is incomplete, often unmanageable visually confusing and I could go on your weaknesses. Unfortunately Panoramio with not really be directly contacted , so the community strength left to forgive journey of this writing, if you respond and correct errors ( such uses as I do this post , whose more than 13,500 image is on the panorama tin ) So let's look at the objections : - The Regina was a series of eight 3 -3 image, matrix-like layout. The újnál , if you are standing up, then pulled from the columns and on the whole a chaotic , disorganized appearance of the whole . - Than the old one was space to put the tags ( labels) on the site within the image, the mostaninál not due to congestion . The solution is not to say if 10 label I put the pictures below , you can individually look at both ten , which one left off . Then I saw all of them, not just one , so no one had a checked. - The labels when looking around in other people album ( but that is the point to get to know other people's images ), although they are in alphabetical order , but in bulk ( disordered ) impact because they are not organized into columns . - In addition to groups : we will not let my pictures either attached to the group , which I will choose , but only the last five being , these are not. The current management team invitation practically useless . - There is a side that if more pictures are available in a row , the first page 5 row 5! set image is displayed (instead of the old 3 ) however, the number of slips viewing them as it has no place and should be read in light gray with white letters and numbers in the gaps between the images , which is impossible . 2 / So my suggestions : - If you can not restore the old format , it was decided to place eight 3-3 pictures and not displaced , crowded each other . - Appear on the labels under the pictures - The labels, when I look alien album , even columns appear , one line per label ( much better search ) . - Be a suitable treatment group invitation . Let me join my group in any of these , but especially the ones that I want. If they already have them, you're almost back could go back to the old format , but without it only very limited use of the new format . Now they suddenly came to my mind ! . This application note describes Google translator , but I hope nevertheless to understand what I wrote . If anyone knows a better translation , or other supplements ,

National Cathedral Will Reopen In November; Repairs Will Cost Millions
The National Cathedral, closed since sustaining extensive damage from the August earthquake that shook Washington, D.C., and the surrounding area, will reopen on Nov. 12, according to officials.
The cathedral is also trying to raise money to pay for repairs, estimated to run into the tens of millions of dollars. A statement on the landmark's website says organizers are seeking "at least $25 million" to cover its expenses through the end of 2012.
The quake damaged several spires and pinnacles high above the cathedral's roof, and caused cracks in its exterior. According to the statement, there seems to be no rappelling going on, as there was at the Washington Monument — a part of that monument's repairs that has now been completed, according to the AP.
Adjacent to the National Cathedral, a huge crane is in place, and scaffolding that resembles a giant roof deck is being assembled across its spires:
A safety perimeter remains in place during stabilization work involving a 550-ton-capacity construction crane, with which workers are in the process of placing numerous steel beams weighing a total of 70 tons in the central tower. Scaffolding is being constructed atop the beams to gain access to and then safely remove the damaged pinnacles.
The cathedral, whose foundation stone was laid in 1907, was constructed in several phases — the last of which ended in 1990.

UPDATE: Orioles and Wilson Betemit agree to two-year contract with an option
Jan 24, 2012, 1:09 AM EDT
UPDATE: Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun is now reporting that the O's and Betemit have agreed to a two-year deal with an option for a third year. Exact terms aren't yet available, but it's a bit of a surprise to see him get a multi-year deal at this point of the offseason. And from a team that isn't expected to contend, no less.
10:13 PM, Monday: Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles have signed Wilson Betemit to a one-year contract, pending a physical. No word on the salary yet.
Betemit earned $1 million last season while batting .285/.343/.452 with eight home runs, 46 RBI and a .795 OPS over 359 plate appearances between the Royals and Tigers. The 30-year-old switch-hitter has an .817 career OPS against right-handed pitching.
The Orioles had previously committed to using Mark Reynolds at third base and Chris Davis at first base this season, but Betemit offers some experience at both positions. Of course, he's not regarded as a strong defender, so Buck Showalter could also use him at designated hitter.

Great move here. The rest of the AL East are probably ready to concede the division to the O's after this dramatic signing.

Betemit to the O's, Vizquel to the Jays, Ross to the Red Sox. The AL East just got a whole lot scarier today……….

This guy played great in limited opportunities for my Tigers last year and was one of the key components in their second half surge. For reasons unknown, Leyland didn't like him and routinely sat him over lesser players in situations where he was clearly the better option. I'm sad to see him go but this is a good pickup for the O's

Safe signing, even if Stevie Wonder has a better glove.

Good bat when used in the right situations and a playable (read: not really that much worse than the two guys who he'd be subbing in for) glove at two corner positions, not too shabby for this point in the offseason.
Worst-case (and we are talking worst-case) scenario he could probably still slide over to 2B/SS/LF in a pinch if absolutely necessary. He offers some versatility, albeit not as much as he did earlier in his career.
Could be a really good, really useful signing. I think a lot of teams could have benefited from this kind of "depth" signing. Smart move by the O's.

Woo Hoo!! We just went from 120 losses to 118! Great move, we are on our way back to mediocrity one subpar player at a time.

Getting closer to finalizing this design. I re-illustrated the states to fit more in the style of the lettering. I am thinking of keeping it grey. People love grey shirts and I think they are hard working. Which speaks directly the Midwest. Attached is an alternate version with a slightly angled lettering. Would love to get some thoughts on which version people prefer.

The SMTP virtual server intermittently crashes after you register a low priority event sink in Exchange 2000 Server
Article ID: 836549 - View products that this article applies to.
This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
When you register an event sink that implements the ISmtpInCommandSink interface and that handles the server responses and the message content that follows, the SMTP virtual server may intermittently crash when Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server is under a heavy load.
In this scenario, your event sink is configured to handle the following server responses and message content:
This issue may occur if the event sink is registered at the end of data ( _EOD) SMTP command with a priority that is lower than the default priority. For example, this issue may occur if you register the event sink at a priority of 30,000. If you register the event sink at a priority that is higher than the default priority, this issue does not occur.
To work around this issue, raise the priority of the event sink to a level that is higher than the priority of the EOD handler. The EOD handler is the last step of the message transport flow. After the EOD handler event, the message is queued for delivery and no longer exists in the SMTP system. If you assign a priority to the event sink that is lower than the EOD handler, messages might be removed before that event sink completes its operations. In this scenario, if the message is delivered or handled before the event sink completes its operations, the event sink will be accessing a delete mailmsg object. To make sure that your event sink fires before the message is submitted to queueing, you must assign the event sink a higher priority than the default priority.

Long-Distance Uncompressed Audio Transmission Over IP for Postproduction
The highly distributed nature of contemporary cinema post-production has led many to believe that high-speed networking of uncompressed audio could significantly improve workflow efficiency. This paper will provide an overview of several significant issues with long-distance networking, including synchronization, latency, bandwidth limitations, and control protocols. We will present a recent networked post-production demonstration, in which audio assets in Seattle, San Francisco, and San Diego along with local video assets were streamed to and controlled from a single DAW. These results are expected to lead to persistent wide-area networked post-production environments to remotely access and control audiovisual assets.

Originally written on Fox Sports Ohio | Last updated 11/16/12
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Its spot in the Big Ten title game already assured, Wisconsin now gets a chance to prove it deserves it. Knocking off No. 6 Ohio State (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten) would go a long way toward erasing that asterisk hanging over the Badgers these days. Wisconsin, you see, actually trails the Buckeyes by two games in the Leaders Division, but it's the Badgers (7-3, 4-2) who are on their way to Indianapolis for a second straight year because Ohio State is ineligible for the postseason. (So is Penn State, which until last weekend led the Badgers, too.) "We don't want to leave any doubt," Wisconsin left tackle Rick Wagner said. "We want to beat them." Ohio State was banned from the postseason and forced to vacate the 2010 season as part of its punishment for NCAA violations under former coach Jim Tressel. Few would have expected the ban to mean a whole lot after the Buckeyes went 6-7 last year, their first losing record in more than 20 years. Yet here they are, one of the last...

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
The same few companies are always in the news. Every month we hear new revelations about SCO, Red Hat, Microsoft, and Novell. This month, however,
a new dancer stepped into the chorus line. The company of the month was definitely Dell. If you haven't been following recent events, you may be asking, "What does Dell have to do with Linux?" Actually, Dell has a lot to do with Linux now that they have agreed to sell computers pre-installed with Ubuntu 7.04. This announcement was met with great enthusiasm in open source circles. Hardware configuration is one of the most challenging issues facing Linux, and if a major supplier like Dell agrees to solve all the problems in advance, it can only be good news. Unfortunately, this wasn't the only Dell deal in the headlines. The honeymoon lasted only a few days, and, just as this magazine went to print, Dell announced that it was signing onto Microsoft's cross marketing deal with Novell. As you probably know by now, the Novell/Microsoft deal has been roundly denounced by the Linux community because it implies that Linux violates Microsoft patents and provides selective indemnification for these alleged violations as a sales perk that is totally contrary to the spirit of the GPL.
