Technical Details
Teaching Tips
- Students should have access to maps, atlases, and globes.
- Educator might want to get the graphs and other documents ahead of time, but students need to view color graphs in color. Educator needs either color copy or computers to view. Graphs are preferably viewed on a computer.
- Extension activity poses the question: "Will the data of aerosols and hurricanes show a relationship?" The trend is not easily identifiable, thus the inquiry-style lesson. Educator should expect to guide students' ideas as they examine the data.
- To reduce in-class activity time and preserve all lesson objectives, have students look at all links the night before.
- In order to complete activity in suggested time frame (50-minute class session), educator should download all documents for students, but this may take away from the data exploration objective of the lesson.
About the Science
- The use of Earth Observatory and NASA Data makes for excellent learning.
- A great way to reach understanding of radiative effects of aerosols, implications to climate, and NASA satellite observations.
- A lot of background information and data sources are provided.
- Comment from scientist: Not an appropriate description that dust leads to clouds which lead to storm formation. Needs clarification by educator.
About the Pedagogy
- Educator can download attached PDF teaching tips.
- Educator should be trained or experienced in inquiry-style teaching due to the open-endedness of the lesson.
- Students will need familiarity with computers to navigate the lesson.
- This resource engages students in using scientific data.

Disciplinary Core Ideas
MS-ESS2.D1: Weather and climate are influenced by interactions involving sunlight, the ocean, the atmosphere, ice, landforms, and living things. These interactions vary with latitude, altitude, and local and regional geography, all of which can affect oceanic and atmospheric flow patterns.
HS-ESS2.D1: The foundation for Earth's global climate systems is the electromagnetic radiation from the sun, as well as its reflection, absorption, storage, and redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and land systems, and this energy's re-radiation into space.
HS-ESS3.D1: Though the magnitudes of human impacts are greater than they have ever been, so too are human abilities to model, predict, and manage current and future impacts.
HS-ESS3.D2: Through computer simulations and other studies, important discoveries are still being made about how the ocean, the atmosphere, and the biosphere interact and are modified in response to human activities.
Science and Engineering Practices
MS-P2.7: Develop and/or use a model to generate data to test ideas about phenomena in natural or designed systems, including those representing inputs and outputs, and those at unobservable scales.
MS-P3.2: Conduct an investigation and/or evaluate and/or revise the experimental design to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence that meet the goals of the investigation
MS-P4.2: Use graphical displays (e.g., maps, charts, graphs, and/or tables) of large data sets to identify temporal and spatial relationships.
MS-P5.1: Use digital tools (e.g., computers) to analyze very large data sets for patterns and trends.
MS-P6.2: Construct an explanation using models or representations.
MS-P1.7: Ask questions that challenge the premise(s) of an argument or the interpretation of a data set.
MS-P1.1: Ask questions that arise from careful observation of phenomena, models, or unexpected results, to clarify and/or seek additional information.
MS-P1.3: Ask questions to determine relationships between independent and dependent variables and relationships in models.
MS-P1.6: Ask questions that can be investigated within the scope of the classroom, outdoor environment, and museums and other public facilities with available resources and, when appropriate, frame a hypothesis based on observations and scientific principles.
HS-P1.3: ask questions to determine relationships, including quantitative relationships, between independent and dependent variables
HS-P2.2: Design a test of a model to ascertain its reliability.
HS-P3.3: Plan and conduct an investigation or test a design solution in a safe and ethical manner including considerations of environmental, social, and personal impacts.
HS-P4.1: Analyze data using tools, technologies, and/or models (e.g., computational, mathematical) in order to make valid and reliable scientific claims or determine an optimal design solution.
HS-P6.1: Make a quantitative and/or qualitative claim regarding the relationship between dependent and independent variables.
HS-P6.2: Construct and revise an explanation based on valid and reliable evidence obtained from a variety of sources (including students' own investigations, models, theories, simulations, peer review) and the assumption that theories and laws that describe the natural world operate today as they did in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
HS-P6.4: Apply scientific reasoning, theory, and/or models to link evidence to the claims to assess the extent to which the reasoning and data support the explanation or conclusion.
Cross-Cutting Concepts
MS-C7.4: Systems in dynamic equilibrium are stable due to a balance of feedback mechanisms.
MS-C1.3: Patterns can be used to identify cause and effect relationships.
MS-C2.2: Cause and effect relationships may be used to predict phenomena in natural or designed systems.
HS-C1.4: Mathematical representations are needed to identify some patterns.
HS-C1.5: Empirical evidence is needed to identify patterns.
HS-C2.2: Cause and effect relationships can be suggested and predicted for complex natural and human designed systems by examining what is known about smaller scale mechanisms within the system.
HS-C3.5: Algebraic thinking is used to examine scientific data and predict the effect of a change in one variable on another (e.g., linear growth vs. exponential growth).
HS-C7.3: Feedback (negative or positive) can stabilize or destabilize a system.

*** Wink if you're interested. *** My life...
*** Wink if you're interested. *** My life philosophy in a nutshell: .. -- life is absurdly short. In a blink you're going to be 90 and wonder what the hell happened. Practice savoring it. Beauty is in the now. My favorite word is V'Ivre. It's French vernacular meaning 'intoxicated by life'. Get (and spread) all the joy, laughter, mischief, positivity, pleasure, and LOVE you can. Appreciate and thoroughly enjoy the simple pleasures in life. It astonishes me how everyone adds pain and suffering to their lives by their own volition, completely unnecessarily. That stuff will come, on it's own, no matter what. That's life. And it's enough to deal with. No need to pre-empt difficultly with your own added BS. I find unnecessary drama repellant. Such a waste of precious time. There is nothing sexier than a well-developed sense of humor. It reflects a high level of intelligence and wisdom. Be charming and witty, and down comes the draw-bridge. Have heart, warmth, and vulnerability, and I'm in trouble. If it's anything to do with art, nature, or science.. I'm down. I love to be intellectually, creatively, emotionally stimulated. I nerd out on poetry, literature, cosmology, astronomy, biology, evolution, philosophy, and history. I work out hard 5 days a week. I'm trying to get my body as strong as it can (naturally) be. It's fun. And *$#%ing challenging. I'm using the ancient greek ideal physique as a target. I'm almost there. :) (I just saw the David and the other great Renaissance sculptures in Florence - Michelangelo was a bad-ass rock star. Seeing the David in person literally makes you gasp.) My ideal woman is soulful, authentic, huge-hearted, funny, charming, genuine, easy-going, intellectual, curious, considerate, honest, brave, and above all, kind. I'm really good peeps. You be too. "Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could." - Louise Erdrich (The Painted Drum) "If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry." - Ernest Hemingway "They danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'" - Jack Kerouac (On the Road)

"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and they came our gorgeous! I loved the design and the color options they offered. I went with the square option, and used the cream colored background and solid color for the back design. I love that the paper is already shimmery, which also adds to the design. I did think the paper was a little thin, and maybe I should have ordered a thicker paper, but overall all I was very happy with my order and my invitations! My order also arrived earlier than expected."
"Loved my pearlized invites! Didn't want them to be overly fancy but had just the right amount of delicate and they are beautiful!"
"I couldn't be happier with our invitations (and inserts/thank you cards). We requested the font to be in purple to match our colors, and it looks great. Something I didn't even think of was to make the back pattern purple as well, which they did on their own. Great quality and fast shipping. I can't wait to send these out!"
"I am ecstatic about the whole transaction of my wedding invitation and RSVP card. Once I submitted my customized text, someone actually CARED . . . edited it for perfection. Getting married in 2015 is easier (and somewhat under more of my control) than it was in 1994. :-)"
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."

Columbus heading for new land in Memphis
Christopher Columbus successfully navigated the Atlantic Ocean in 1492, and the Italian explorer got his own statue in Downtown Memphis in 1987. Now, he's preparing for another trip, this time where he should feel more at home with an annual festival featuring a bocce tournament and a grape-stomping contest.
The Memphis Italian community got no opposition when it proposed moving a larger-than-life statue of Columbus from Columbus Park at Third and Adams Downtown to Marquette Park at Park and Mt. Moriah, home of the annual Memphis Italian Festival.
The City Council unanimously approved a resolution last Tuesday authorizing the move once the Italian community completes a fundraising drive to pay for the move and for a landscaped setting for the statue in Marquette Park.
In turn, the old Columbus Park, the smallest park in the city, would become a memorial to early leaders of the civil rights movement. City Councilman Jim Strickland came up with the idea for the civil rights memorial because the park "is directly across from the Shelby County Courthouse. I practiced law in front of some of those leaders including judges Russell Sugarmon and Odell Horton, and they are among leaders who certainly are deserving of recognition." Strickland said plans and fundraising for the new civil rights park still are in the formative stages.
Councilman Bill Boyd said the plan would not alter the name Marquette Park, which was named for athlete Pauline "Pep" Marquette, who once served as head of the old Memphis parks department. And, while the statue's removal to Marquette Park has generated no controversy, he said it is ironic that Columbus Park sits atop the early home site of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, whose statue in the old Forrest Park turned into a major controversy. It ended in removal by the city of a granite marker placed by the Sons of Confederate Veterans and bearing the name "Forrest Park," and in renaming Forrest Park to Health Sciences Park.
Architect Tony Bologna, who designed Columbus Park, said the idea to move the Columbus statue "is a good move" since it ties Columbus to the Italian Festival held in June. He said Columbus Park is 61 feet by 80 feet, and the statue is 9 to 10 feet tall atop a roughly 4-foot concrete base.
Nick Musarra, a former board member of the Italian service organization UNICO, which will raise funds for the move, said the statue weighs about 900 pounds. He said Mayor A C Wharton has endorsed the shifts in use for both Columbus and Marquette parks. Musarra said UNICO raised almost $100,000 for the original project in the 1980s, about $50,000 of which was used for the statue itself with most of the rest used for sidewalks, benches, a plaque, landscaping and a specially designed bus stop adjacent to the park.
Current UNICO president Michael Spano said initial cost estimates to move the statue are about $8,000, but the group is setting a minimum fundraising goal of $25,000 to cover the cost of landscaping, lighting and construction of a new base for the statue. He said the group hopes to have the project complete in time for the June 2014 Italian Festival, but it could be completed as soon as the end of this year. Spano said anyone who wants to donate can contact him at 372-8869 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

Recipe by Campbell's Kitchen
"Bone-in chicken braises in a flavorful combination of garlic, rosemary, tomatoes and lemon to create an absolutely scrumptious family-style dish."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons
olive oil
1 (3 pound)
cut-up whole chicken
5 cloves
garlic, minced
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 (14.5 ounce) can
diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups
Swanson® Chicken Broth
Good basic dish. Made as directed except I used 1TB dried rosemary instead of fresh and I added 1/2 cup white wine before reducing sauce. Next time I will use only chicken thighs (preference) and throw in some sliced kalamata olives.

I broke up with my boyfriend and I'm so devastated. I'm lost...
My boyfriend hit on two of my best friends, slapped my sisters butt, touched my bros gfs hand, stared at my cousin and brushed her hair behind her... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I'm sorry to read about what has happened to you-I seem to recall you were blissfully happy- that is from what answers you had posted here etc. That said-by what I can sense you did nothing wrong and it doesn't come down to what you had to do or should have done-quite simply, and you'll forgive my bluntness I hope, your now ex was a pig and took you for granted and perhaps, I daresay, viewed you as a commodity for sexual gratification. If you'll pardon my bluntness-from the photos you had of yourself here I got the impression he simply wasn't good enough for you.
That said, next time-and there will be a next time you find somebody who deserves you, you'll ensure you are treated with respect and never compromise yourself or your principles.
I was blissfully happy :( I thought I had the perfect relationship but he was doing things while I was around but JUST out of sight... I'm an effing idiot to be blunt :P lol but not really lol.
I think he may have kept me around for sex too.
NOBODY thought he was good enough for me.. but I felt the opposite.. I'm starting to come around... slowly.
What Guys Said 5
What did you do wrong? You picked the wrong guy.
First, you need to learn to respond to red flags. When he slaps your sister's butt, red flag. You don't let that ride. You stop him, let him know it's not okay, and that *if the behavior continues, the relationship ends.*
That last bit is critical. Some guys will do what they can get away with, then think, if it were a problem, she'd dump me. The only way these guys learn, then, is by getting dumped, over and over, until they get their acts together.
But there's a deeper question here. You're broken up over a bad boyfriend who has no regrets about leaving you. Why? This isn't a good relationship you're grieving, but a rotten one. Is being in a relationship so important to you that you would rather be in a crappy one than none at all? I hope not.
You picked the wrong guy and it sounds like you threw all self respect out the window for him. Never lose your self respect, and don't stand for anything he did to you. Don't live with him. Kick him out and find a roommate.
Anyone worth your time won't ask you to do those degrading things, and won't treat you with that sort of disrespect.
Wow! I sure hate to hear that! I wondered what had happened to u. Aussies Rock...er..at least the females do...since I am not there would be dificult for me observe you and make suggestions about how to keep a man...but this one was probably not a good choice to start with..trying to change womanizers is difficult (impossible?) I would say that where you wente wrong was getting involved with him in the first place...It is nice to have you back but am sure sorry about the circumstances...
Thanks Taster. Yeah I didn't have internet for SO long I was going crazy lol I guess I should have listened to everybody but love is blind isn't it.. sigh* I guess Ill just open my eyes more next time then.

Show off your hard work; display your photographs with the easy-to-build slideshows and web galleries in Lightroom. They're a straightforward way to display images on the web, on the desktop, or projected onto a screen. In this breezy segment of Lightroom 5 Essentials, Chris Orwig explains how to select your best images and group them into collections, apply a design template, and customize the look and feel of your web gallery or slideshow. Then learn about watermarking photos for copyright protection, uploading HTML and Flash galleries to a website, and adding a soundtrack and titles to a slideshow. Plus, discover how to create video-based slideshows, new to Lightroom 5.
So, far we've taken a look at how we could upload a custom HTML gallery. Well, here let's explore how we could upload a gallery of photographs, but use one of those flash galleries. The first collection that I want to work with, is this one here its Jeff Johnson. And in my own workflow I typically don't use galleries like this. I think that they are just a little bit too cumbersome. Typically, what I like to do is use the flash slideshow gallery. So, I'll scroll down to that and click on Slideshow. This one is really simple and clean. It's really focused on the images.
You can click through it, and see the photographs here. Well, now that we can see this, let's go ahead and upload this one. In order to do that, it's really as simple as making the selection of the template here. And then dialing in any settings that we may want to change, but here, I think it looks fine. And then determining our sub-folder. I'll name the sub-folder Jeff Johnson. So, it's going to be chrisorwig.com/JeffJohnson, and then I'll simply click Upload. This will then upload these files to the server.
Let's do one more Flash Gallery, just so we have something to compare this to. This time we'll click on Mexico, and we'll go to another Layout Style. Let's choose a fun layout style. How about something like PostcardViewer, which gives us this little grid of all of these different pictures. For this grid, I may want to change this, so we can go to Appearance and change the number of columns. I'm going to crank this up. As you'll start to work with these different web galleries. You'll notice that each web gallery, it will have different options in these panels, depending on the type of gallery that it is.
And here, I'm just looking for one that might work. And I think this one works pretty well, and is kind of interesting. So, I'm going to zoom in. And then go ahead, and just navigate through this. And just look at how this appears here in this window. Okay, well perfect, I like it. I've dialed in my Settings there. I'll go down to my Upload Settings. I'll go ahead and type out the name of the town where these images were captured, Sayulita. And then I'll click on Upload. This will then upload those photographs. Well next, what we'll need to do, is we'll need to navigate to our browser, and open up a new web browser, and we know how this works already.
We simply navigate to the domain name and then the name of the folder. For example, we could go to that folder which was called jeff_johnson, and it will take us to the images. And with this Flash Gallery, the beauty of it is that there's que loading. In other words, if I click really fast through these images, you see that there is really no lag time at all, because all of the loading, well it's taking place behind the scenes. And that's the wonder of working with a gallery like this, is it speeds up the way someone can view those pictures. Lets look at another gallery, which was that one which was in a folder titled Sayulita.
And when we go to that URL address, we can see this. And whats fun about this one is that it populates this with all of these different images, and also will change. If we change the size of our browser, it kind of hides or changes the view here. If you've refreshed this, you notice that it will distribute the images differently. And it distributes them differently every time you click Refresh. And we already know how this one works. We can click to Zoom In, use our Arrow Keys to navigate around the images in order to view those pictures. And again, you can click to Zoom Out.
So, let's say with this Sayulita one, I don't like the layout. I go ahead and expand this, and I notice that based on my grid I kind of have one orphaned photograph. That doesn't work. I need to change this web gallery. Oh, what do you do? When you want to change the Flash or an HTML gallery? Oh, what you do is you navigate back to Lightroom. Back in Lightroom, you can change the way that this is display. Here what I'm going to do, is go ahead and choose use the Selected Photo.
And then I'm going to select the pictures that I want to use for this gallery. Clicking on one, holding on the Shift key, and then going all the way down the line to select the pictures, all of them, except for this last photograph. Or to make this a little bit more simple, I'll go ahead and remove a whole row of pictures here. You can see that it will update my view. Now, all of these fit in this space. I have fewer pictures and I think that works. So again, make whatever changes you want in this gallery using the panels, or selecting images, whatever it is. Next, what you'll want to do is re-upload these images. To do that, you click Upload.
It will give you this warning message. It says, you know this specific destination, it already exists on the server. What do you want to do? Do you want to over write what's there? Well in my case I do, so I'll click Continue. This will then re-upload all of these images. It will take what's there, and replace it with this new Web Gallery. And once this is complete, we can then pull up our web browser, and we'll wait for that to be complete up here. And then now, we'll click on Refresh and refresh this gallery, and what we'll see is something that is new.
It has less images, less rows. This one fits more effectively in this space. So, the process of making changes to your web gallery is really as simple as going back to Lightroom, dialing in those changes, and then re-uploading. And then finally, I want to highlight here again, that in order to share these pictures, you're just going to highlight this full URL stream. Highlight everything there, and then go ahead and send that link in an e-mail to your client, or a friend, and then that way you can share this web gallery with others.

Jack White Featured in All-New SERIOUS JIBBER-JABBER WITH CONAN O'BRIEN
Captured by Panavision Cameras shooting entirely on 35mm film, the fourth installment of SERIOUS JIBBER-JABBER WITH Conan O'BRIEN, features a candid 75-minute chat with Jack White in a cigarillo smoke filled room. Check out the video in its entirety here!
Serious Jibber-Jabber with Conan O'Brien gives the host an opportunity to take the conversation beyond the time constraints of a broadcast talk show and delve into areas not usually discussed on air. The interview allows O'Brien and White to have the type of conversation they have not had time to touch on during White's twelve appearances on O'Brien's various broadcast shows.
This episode features topics ranging from the time O'Brien and White first met in Detroit, to the relationship between music and comedy, to the importance of not taking the easy way out on any project. The latter topic is on full display with this one-time use of 35mm film as opposed to standard digital cameras.
Born the youngest of ten children, raised in Southwest Detroit and a resident of Nashville since 2005, Jack White is one of the most prolific and renowned artists of the past fifteen years. In 2009, Jack White opened the doors to his very own record label, Third Man Records, where he has since produced and released more than 120 records in less than three years.
On April 24, 2012 White released his debut album Blunderbuss on Third Man Records/Columbia. Blunderbuss debuted at #1 on the U.S. albums chart-Jack's first ever recorded effort to do so--and was the highest charting solo debut and biggest selling vinyl album of 2012 in the U.S.. Supported by a world tour met with equal fervor, Blunderbuss also hit #1 in the UK, Canada and Switzerland, and more recently received a GRAMMY nomination for the night's top honor, Album of the Year as well as Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song Freedom at 21.

This video provides background information and teaching tips about the history and relevance of phenology and seasonal observations of plants and animals within the context of rural Wisconsin.
Two graphs from the NASA Climate website illustrate the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures. The NASA plot is annotated with temperature-impacting historic events, which nicely connect an otherwise challenging graphic to real-world events.
This web-based activity tackles the broad reasons for undertaking ocean exploration - studying the interconnected issues of climate change, ocean health, energy and human health. Students examine the types of technology ocean scientists use to collect important data.
In this activity, students will use oxygen isotope values of two species of modern coral to reconstruct ambient water temperature over a four-year period. They use Microsoft Excel, or similar application, to create a spreadsheet of temperature values calculated from the isotope values of the corals by means of an algebraic equation. Students then use correlation and regression techniques to determine whether isotope records can be considered to be good proxies for records of past temperatures.
This graph, based on key ice core data sets and recent monitoring programs, shows the variations in concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere during the last 400,000 years.
This video is accompanied by supporting materials including background essay and discussion questions. The focus is on changes happening to permafrost in the Arctic landscape, with Alaska Native peoples and Western scientists discussing both the causes of thawing and its impact on the ecosystem. The video shows the consequences of erosion, including mudslides and inland lakes being drained of water. An Inuit expresses his uncertainty about the ultimate effect this will have on his community and culture.
A collection of repeat photography of glaciers from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). The photos are taken years apart at or near the same location, illustrating how dramatically glacier positions can change even over a relatively short period in geological time: 60 to 100 years. Background essay and discussion questions are included.
This video describes why tropical ice cores are important and provide different information than polar ice cores, why getting them now is important (they are disappearing), and how scientists get them. The work of glaciologist Lonnie Thompson is featured, with a focus on his work collecting cores of ice from high mountain glaciers that contain significant data about past climate change.
This video montage of spectacular NASA satellite images set to music shows different types of ice and ice features as well as descriptions of satellite-based measurements of ice cover. Text captioning provides guidance as to issues related to changing global ice cover and its measurement.

My vision comes from within, a place that the human hand cannot achieve.
In an eventful and realistic world, it's the result of nature's evolution; which provides millions of feelings that I experience within myself: sounds, pictures and aromas.
As a result, I obtain the vision of a rich and different world which realises themselves in my creations.
I focused on the boundaries of the materials carried out by stretching and weighting of pure silver.
I tested the loaded gem and the compression amidst the ventricle that is always changing, the composition of details, that male up the complete component, within the borders of the emerging space, testing of the composition and the assembly, the reaction of the movement with the aspiration to create aesthetics and harmony.
My work reflects a constant penetration of each other, a distinct unity of pieces that are components that are given to dismantling, intuitive components that can be felt, inner image, movement, rhythm, and mood. These are the elements that expose the lightness and thinness of their weight, the formation into three-dimensional material, and a volume that turns into a piece of jewelry.
These pieces of jewelry were made with tenacity, while taking great pedantry and technical precision to achieve the absolute.
Handmade, pure silver Gold Plated earrings inspired by a Byzantine-Medieval design.
Also available in pure silver.
The round silver base of the earrings is decorated with silver granules.
A sophisticated, classy and impressive earrings, handcrafted with the finest attention to detail by Chalkidonios.
Earrings were worn by ancient Greek and Roman senators and citizens. For the rich they conveyed status and wealth. For the plebians they held symbols of gods, animals, patterns and more. Some were engraved in inverse, and were used as signet rings to sign/seal important documents. Some represented military allegiance, bearing legionary eagles, chevrons, stars, and naval patterns. All of these rings were unearthed in Thrace, Macedonia, Eastern Europe, Britain, and Syria.

Holding tough through the carnage. Just think the market cap is too low for the market opportunity. By a lot.
Zetia is currently a $3 billion drug from MRK. It treats LDL cholesterol for those that are statin intolerant, and is combined with statins. It's a pill. ETC-1002 has shown to be more effective than Zetia both as a stand alone therapy or when taken with a statin. Also, when combining Zetia and ETC-1002, patients see a 48% reduction in LDL. All oral.
If Zetia is a $ 3 billion drug, what is ETC-1002?
Complicating matters are the REGN and AMGN drugs (needles) that will hit market later this year.
If the street starts to believe this is a multi-billion drug, how long do you think this will stay down?
Fair points. This could happen. Based n my research, this would be a huge buying opportunity and it will not stay down too long.
Maybe. Or maybe it's up $20 tomorrow. Or maybe it's taken out in a week. MRK's Zetia does $3-$4 billion or so in annual sales. ETC-1002 beats in it on every metric.
Zetia and ETC-1002, when combined, achieve almost 50% reduction in LDL. It would capture all of the statin intolerant market, and beat out REGN and AMGN drugs because all oral. Plus ETC-1002 superior to Zetia as an additive to statins.
They can combine Zetia with ETC-1002 and the combo reduces cholesterol almost as much as a statin - with less side effects. Othewise they will be forced to compete with ETC-1002, and ETC-1002 looks like the winner.
Before shorting this stock, I suggest folks give this a listen. You'll thank me.
What is this drug's potential market? REGN and AMGN drugs supposedly $10 billion. This will be priced cheaper and probably only get a slice. So what is the annual sales target here?
4? I was only aware of possibly 3. Can you list? Thanks. Also, your previous post would be helpful if there was a link to the report you cited.

Hummus and Tahina are staples in our house – we eat them with everything from chicken nuggets, to pizza and on salads. Other middle eastern dips like Turkish salad and babaganoush are slathered in between butterflied potato borekas or smothered on spicy beef cigars weekly at our shabbos table and we eat falafel like it's going out of style.

Seattle, Wa (PRWEB) August 05, 2014
Conversation is quickly becoming a lost art these days. Many social experts are actually bemoaning the fact that more and more people prefer to carry out their everyday conversations through mobile chatting, and this is actually "hampering" the necessary social skills they need to interact with new people or even just their peers.
However, there is no question that conversation still matters a lot when it comes to establishing connections with or influencing valuable people. Eduard Ezeanu, a confidence and communication coach, recognizes the current need that people have for developing their confidence to speak, and this is what led him to publishing Conversation Confidence, a brand new kit he developed which guides users on how to gain confidence in life simply by brushing up on their speaking skills.
Specifically, Conversation Confidence teaches many secret techniques and practical tips for users who wish to know how to "speak up" like:
David Fisher from the site Vinamy.com says of the product: "Conversation Confidence is a very powerful guide which helps people develop winning conversational skills and, in turn, improves their personalities and confidence by making their lives better because of those skills."

Ideas in Food: Great Recipes and Why They Workby Aki Kamozawa

Publisher Comments:
No-Knead Brioche Dough
Makes two 9 x 5-inch loaves
Good brioche is an amazing thing. The bread is light, buttery, and full
of flavor. It can be somewhat labor intensive in its original form, so we
were immediately intrigued by the idea of creating a no-knead version.
Normally the butter is beaten into the dough, but here we melt it and
add it to the wet ingredients. The long resting period allows it to be
fully absorbed into the dough without all that extra work. This may
seem like a large recipe, but the dough can be used to make various
sweet breads like the sticky bun recipe that follows, and the plain loaves
freeze beautifully.
6 ½ cups/975 grams all-purpose flour
½ cup/100 grams sugar
3 ½ teaspoons/20 grams fine sea salt
½ teaspoon/2 grams instant yeast
8 large eggs
1 cup/230 grams room-temperature water
½ cup/135 grams milk
1 pound/450 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Milk or heavy cream for brushing the loaves
Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Whisk to
thoroughly blend.
In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, water, and milk. Once
they are well blended, whisk in the butter. Pour the wet ingredients
into the dry mixture and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon
until the liquid is absorbed and there are no lumps. The mixture will
resemble muffin batter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it
rise at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours. The dough will rise to
approximately one and a half times its initial volume.
Using a rubber spatula, gently loosen the dough from the bowl.
Dampen your hands with cool water and, with the dough still in the
bowl, slide one hand under one side of the dough. Fold that side of the
dough into the center and press down gently so the dough adheres to
itself. Give the bowl a quarter turn and repeat the folding process. Do
this two more times. After the fourth fold, flip over the dough so the
seams are on the bottom. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it
rise at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours. The dough will double in
Repeat the folding procedure, ending with the seams on the bottomn.
The dough is now ready to use.
To Bake the Brioche
Divide the dough in half. Place each half in a greased 9 × 5-inch
loaf pan. (You can also bake half and reserve half for the sticky bun
recipe that follows.) Cover the pans with a towel or plastic wrap. Let
the dough rest in the pans while you preheat the oven to 375oF
(190°C) or 350oF (175°C) with convection.
Brush the loaves with milk and bake on the middle rack of the
oven for 1 hour. The loaves are done when they are a deep golden
brown and sound hollow when tapped firmly with your finger. Cool
for 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Turn the loaves out of their
pans and return them to the rack to cool completely.
"Though it's not an all-purpose cookbook, this volume by Kamozawa and Talbot, the Ideas in Food bloggers and 'Kitchen Alchemy' columnists for Popular Science, could easily be an everyday reference tool and a source of go-to recipes for anyone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen. The authors break down the science behind correctly and deliciously preparing everything from bread, pasta, and eggs (including soft scrambled eggs; hard-boiled eggs, and brown butter hollandaise sauce) to homemade butter and yogurt. Most recipes fall into the 'Ideas for Everyone' category, which composes about the first three-quarters of the book; the final section is 'Ideas for Professionals,' which explores trendy molecular gastronomy topics like liquid nitrogen--used to make popcorn gelato--and carbon dioxide, a necessary tool for making coffee onion rings. Straightforward prose and anecdotes with personality keep this from being a dry food science tome. And accessible recipes for such dishes as a simple roast chicken, green beans almondine, and root beer-braised short ribs mean it never gets too lofty. (Dec.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
Husband-and-wife duo Talbot and Kamozawa are this generation's hip young guides to the hows and whys of cooking, which they explain in 50 entertaining essays and then put into practice with 75 recipes for avid cooks to try at home.
Alex Talbot and Aki Kamozawa, husband-and-wife chefs and the forces behind the popular blog Ideas in Food, have made a living out of being inquisitive in the kitchen. Their book shares the knowledge they have gleaned from numerous cooking adventures, from why tapioca flour makes a silkier chocolate pudding than the traditional cornstarch or flour to how to cold smoke just about any ingredient you can think of to impart a new savory dimension to everyday dishes. Perfect for anyone who loves food, Ideas in Food is the ideal handbook for unleashing creativity, intensifying flavors, and pushing one's cooking to new heights.
This guide, which includes 100 recipes, explores questions both simple and complex to find the best way to make food as delicious as possible. For home cooks, Aki and Alex look at everyday ingredients and techniques in new ways—from toasting dried pasta to lend a deeper, richer taste to a simple weeknight dinner to making quick "micro stocks" or even using water to intensify the flavor of soups instead of turning to long-simmered stocks. In the book's second part, Aki and Alex explore topics, such as working with liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide—techniques that are geared towards professional cooks but interesting and instructive for passionate foodies as well. With primers and detailed usage guides for the pantry staples of molecular gastronomy, such as transglutaminase and hydrocolloids (from xanthan gum to gellan), Ideas in Food informs readers how these ingredients can transform food in miraculous ways when used properly.
Throughout, Aki and Alex show how to apply their findings in unique and appealing recipes such as Potato Chip Pasta, Root Beer-Braised Short Ribs, and Gingerbread Soufflé. With Ideas in Food, anyone curious about food will find revelatory information, surprising techniques, and helpful tools for cooking more cleverly and creatively at home.

1873 Close 3 Eagle, PR64 Deep Cameo1873 $10 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. Business-strike 1873 Liberty eagles are known in two different types, one with an Open 3 in the date and another with a Close 3. The Close 3 was used first, and subsequently changed because Chief Coiner A. Louden Snowden believed it was difficult to distinguish it from an 8. All known proofs are of the Close 3 variety, as they were struck early in the year.
Only 25 Pieces Minted

The 1873 Liberty eagle is rare in both formats, as only 800 business-strikes and 25 proofs were struck. Writing in 1988, Walter Breen estimated the surviving proof population at just 10-12 examples, including one in the ANS and another in the Smithsonian. PCGS estimates a slightly higher number of 12-15 coins still extant. PCGS and NGC have combined to certify a total of 16 specimens in all grades, probably including a few resubmissions and crossovers (11/11). Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth caution against gold-plated aluminum die trial pieces that have been passed off as proofs in the past.
The present coin is a magnificent Choice example that shows startling black-on-gold Deep Cameo flash when tilted in the light. The devices are richly frosted to provide profound contrast with the brightly reflective fields. The design elements are sharply detailed in most areas, but a touch of softness is apparent on the central obverse and the arrow fletching. The vivid greenish-gold surfaces show the slight "orange-peel" texture often seen on 19th century proofs. A few minor hairlines and contact marks, none worthy of individual mention, explain the grade. Population: 1 in 64 Deep Cameo, 0 finer (11/11).(Registry values: P4) (PCGS# 98813)

It started with that d*&% orange on Thrus. night. He felt a burn in his stomach right away and the pain only got worse. We made him a doctors appt. first thing Mon. morning, he saw the dr. at 2:15 and his family doctor told him he ulcers, had the nurse give him a shot of dimeral and wheeled him over to the hospital were they ran blood test and did CTs of his adominal area. He was hooked up morphine when he got in the bed and the med. helped with the pain so he slept last night. So this morning the GI dr. comes to see him in the only 45min. that I left so I didn't get to speak to him, all I know is what my husband which is on morhine at the time tells me that he mentioned something about Hepatis and asked he had any tatoos, and said he was concerned about his liver. Again this is what my husband remembers from the conversation which he was pretty out of it when he talked to this dr. Well I asked the nurse and the on call resident dr. about this and they didn't know anything. Oh, by the way I informed them all that he might not be celiac but seems to intolerance to gluten. They dicided to release him since he couldn't get into for the upper GI until Fri. morning. When they started preparing his dischrage paper work and un hooking his IV he started breathing hard, sweeting all over, bad chills, and throwing up. Needless to say the nurses were a little freaked out by this as I was, when they were all working around him and trying to get is IV started back up and said he's not going anywhere for now. He told them he was having a panic attach and that they happen atleast every month or every three months at the most. So they gave him some meds. to calm him down and it was so painful to see him like that in the hospital but I was relieved that it happened in the hospital this time because usually its at home and in the middle of the night. The on call resident of course say it's anxidy(SP) attacks. So know we went from testing for ulcers to finding about these attacks also. I told the nurse and the dr. what I read about all your sysptoms, but they say they aren't related and I just don't believe that. He just turned 40 this past December, is not over weight at all and have in the last month find out that his body isn't making testosterone and has to get injections every 3 weeks. So, what do all you have to say about a young somewhat healthy man, that has had stomach and bowel problems for over 25 years, lack of testosterone in the last 2 yrs.(we think about 2 yrs.), bad stomach burn they only morphine and dimeral helped subside, panic attacks so severe that he throws up, sweats and chills. All I want is for the drs. to find the answers, I'm so scared for him and our little family! Please help with any advise.

A two-minute example of how fast the waters rise from a tsunami. When the Big One hits here, be ready! (Hat tip Carlsbad Mark)
More on the cliffhanger – hat tip Susie!
My high school baseball coach used to say,
"I don't believe anything I hear, and only half of what I see!"
In our latest contest, readers submitted their guess at the highest bid + 5% buyer's premium for this property in SE Carlsbad:
The auction included an outrageous set of conditions, which many thought would drive down the price to compensate. They included:
They conducted the auction online, which gave participants the convenience of bidding from their couch at home. It should have allowed bidders the chance to double-check the comps as the auction wore on – because every time a new bid was made, they extended the ending by 1-2 minutes.
Those checking the comps would have seen that in the heat of the frenzy last year, three of this identical model sold for $638,000, $653,000 and $679,000. Then in October this sale with nice view closed for $705,500, which was the highest price since May, 2007:
The bank foreclosed in 2011, and nobody wanted it then for $459,088. The opening bid this week was $325,000, and once the auction started the initial bid increment was $25,000.
Most of our readers guessed it would sell in the $400,000s, which would be an adequate buffer to evict and remodel.
Look what happened today:
Somebody was willing to pay almost $200,000 more than the bank didn't get in 2011, and that wasn't enough to reach the reserve price? Hopefully the bank will come to their senses and reconsider before that bidder changes their mind. Counting the 5% buyer's premium, the highest bid was $678,038!
Our closest and winning guess was $568,050, and submitted by blucore – congratulations!
City crews tear down the wrong house – the one next door! HT to daytrip:
Speaking of other realtors using video, our local TV station, Channel 10, featured this realtor because of his youtubes:
SAN DIEGO – A local real estate agent is busting out some lyrics. He is not a professional rapper, but he is trying to generate business any way he can.
Rafael Perez is a Bonita-based agent for Dominion West Properties. He has produced more than 50 informative videos before but his friends and coworkers let him know they fell on the bland side.
"Most of the time people said, 'Hey, it's a really informative video. It was great information, but loosen up, try to be funny and have fun with it,'" Perez told 10News after reporter Joe Little found the would-be rapper's video on YouTube.
"Home ownership is back, now the new routine," Perez raps in the video.
Perez actually has a miniature TV studio in his office complete with tripod, green screen and a video editing program on his laptop.
"I recorded the whole thing with my phone," he said.
Tracy Glesby is a real estate agent. No doubt she's good at her job.
But D Magazine did not name her a Best Real Estate Agent in either 2011 or 2012, as one would be led to believe by her Facebook page.
Glesby and I aren't friends, so I can't see her timeline. But the screenshot you see here was taken today. Which is why I like this lady's moxie. Because last Wednesday, she got a call from our brand manager, politely asking her to remove the Best logos that she had not earned. Some snippets of that conversation:
D Magazine: "I'm curious. How is it that you acquired these logos? I am the person who disseminates these to the winners, so I am unsure how it is you even have one."
Tracy Glesby: "Uhh, you can just google image it."
And then:
D Magazine: "Our editors and fact checkers go through a very rigorous process to determine these lists, and when it is misconstrued or intentionally misrepresented by someone claiming to have won when it was not actually bestowed upon them, it really undermines the prestige."
Tracy Glesby: "Ok, well, now you're just using a bunch of words that I don't understand. I'm an end-game person. Let's just get to the end of this. If I take those two little logos off, are we all good? Because I can do that when I get to the office in the morning."
As I say, that conversation happened last Wednesday. Yet the logos remain. That there is what you call stick-to-it-ness. You put your house on the market, and it doesn't sell the first day? Tracy Glesby isn't going to give up. To make the sale, that lady is going to do whatever it takes.
Hat tip to "just some guy" who saw this at patrick.net:
The looming real estate crisis in China, from 60 Minutes:
At the Washington Realtors' legislative hill day this year we had an opportunity to hear from the National Association of Realtors' chief economist, Dr. Lawrence Yun. Dr. Yun spoke about the improving real estate market in Washington state and his optimistic outlook for our state's housing prices to continue rising at a rate faster than the nation as a whole.
At the same time, he was concerned with the persistence of high levels of "shadow inventory" in Washington, even while those levels have been shrinking significantly across the nation as a whole. Dr. Yun surmised that the legal system in Washington was one that provided more obstructions to the foreclosure process, and that was creating a huge backlog of foreclosures that should have already been back on the market. The striking lack of inventory in our current market is holding back a large crop of eager buyers and stifling home sales in general.
The essence of Dr. Yun's point was that we should speed up foreclosures. On its face, that's not an argument you're likely to hear from real estate professionals. Our organizations are constantly working for property owners' protections and rights, and fighting fraudulent or predatory practices that force homeowners out of their homes.
This issue, however, is more complex than simply pitting banks against homeowners. When we really examine the broken foreclosure process in our state, and nationally, we have to make clear distinctions between the protections that distressed homeowners already have in place, and the unacceptable extensions of the actual foreclosure timelines taking place in the market.
There are an increasing number of homeowners who have realized that, even though their home is underwater and they have no intention of keeping it long-term, they can live in the home without making a payments for years on end. As long as the lender is inhibited from closing the actual foreclosure sale, the number of people living in homes for two and even three years, rent free, continues to build. The homes are a drag on the community, as these long-term foreclosures deflate nearby housing prices, instead of being resold and fixed up by the new homeowners. The homeowners can't just abandon the property, because it is still legally in their name (see Zombie Titles).
The effort to shorten the timelines on these foreclosures would make no changes to the protections already built into the process for the truly distressed homeowner. There are already a number of steps for that person to repay their debt, work out an adjusted payment schedule, or find another means to save their home. These people usually have at least a year from the time they stop making payments until the foreclosure sale goes through, and those protections can and will continue to exist for them.
For those homeowners who have already been through the normal foreclosure process and are one, two, or even three years behind on payments, the process needs to be expedited. These folks have accepted that the home will be foreclosed upon, and the only question is when. It will be better for the neighborhood and, frankly, better for these former homeowners to move on with their lives and begin to rebuild their credit. This artificial backlog of foreclosure inventory has an eager market of buyers ready to move in, and our communities could benefit from a healthy gain in home sales as we continue to recover.
So, should we speed up foreclosures? If the current legal protections are preserved, but the unnecessary multi-year extensions can be avoided, then the answer is "Yes." Sometimes, facing up to reality and moving forward is the only way to begin correcting the difficult times we've been through.

Sisqo and Dru Hill Vs. Kedar Entertainment Group
Not too many people knew that Sisqo dropped a comeback album in February called Last Dragon, and he's putting the blame on his record label, the Kedar Entertainment Group. According to TMZ, Sisqo signed a deal with record executive Kedar Massenburg's company back in 2009 for a two album deal and a group album with his Dru Hill brothers for two projects as well.
Sisqo and his boys are suing the label to get out of their contracts, claiming the label defaulted and failed to spend $300 thousand on their marketing budgets as promised. The group's InDRUpendence Day was also released in 2010 below the radar, which prompted them to also seek a million dollars each in the lawsuit. As Dru Hill tries to set flame to their contracts, check out a few more artists that went to war with their record companies. — Michael Harris (@IceBlueVA)

And while I disagree with some of the policies, particularly with regard to waterboarding, sincerely the vice president and others sincerely believe these were the policies necessary to keep this country safe, which was kept safe for seven-and-a-half years. And I think the ludicrousness of we're going to try to prosecute, we're going to try to haul people before congressional committees. I mean, you look at the committee hearings on the auto companies, it's inconceivable to me what the circus looks like when we start to investigate the intelligence agencies in a time of war.
VANDEN HEUVEL: Hey, guys, this is about truth and torture. Illegal, immoral, wrong torture. This is not a political football game. I'm not here to absolve or condemn Nancy Pelosi. I'm saying we need to use this time to get to the truth of what a party in power in 2002, with all of the power in the world did in terms of briefings, insufficient, incomplete briefings on a range of issues, WMDs, 9/11 Commission, Iraq.
We need to use that. We need to declassify the briefings material and not cherry-pick as your father, Liz, wishes to do, is releasing...
CHENEY: My father doesn't wish to cherry-pick -- no.
VANDEN HEUVEL: He just wants two documents. But we need a truth commission with General Taguba. That is my proposal. The man who ran the Abu Ghraib report. Have a military man oversee and have real power to get to the truth of what we need to do to move forward responsibly.
Steve, to bury this will tarnish and undermine and subvert the justice and power of this country...
CHENEY: Katrina, there is absolutely actually no confusion on our side of this issue. On our side of this issue, you know, you can say you agree or you disagree with the policy, but these were policies that kept the country safe.
The vice president, as an example, has been very clear in saying absolutely I supported these policies.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, but...
CHENEY: No, but you let her go, George. You've got to let me finish.
The vice president has been absolutely clear in saying these are the right policies.
CHENEY: Now the people who seem to be confused are, you know, the Nancy Pelosis of the world who supported it but then they didn't support or who were really offended by it but they made no response to it. So I think it's very important here to be clear about what the facts are and in fact what happened.
CARVILLE: George, absolutely stunning finding and in line for four more years where Democracy Corps asked the American people, sometimes it you want to know an answer, best thing is ask the question. We said when it comes to national security policy, do you think President Obama is doing better, worse or about the same as President George W. Bush? Very fair question. The results were startling. Fifty percent said President Obama, 25 percent said President Bush. We're living in a world where twice as many people think that this administration is doing a better job on the signature Republican issue. This is somewhat of a -- this represents -- this is, again ...
CHENEY: It depends which polls you quote. No, but, James, there is a Rasmussen poll out that that says 58 percent of the American people polled believe that the release -- I'll show you my polls too believe that the release of the interrogation memos actually made us less safe so you can quote a whole range of polls on your question, James.
CARVILLE: Liz, this is just fact.

DisplayPort adapter not working properly with > 295.71
I have a twinview setup with two identical Dell 3007WFP-HC monitors and a Quadro FX 3800. One of the monitors is connected via Dual Link DVI and the other is through a DisplayPort-Dual Link DVI adapter. The display that is connected through the adapter has this weird vertical interleaving with artifacts.
I've swapped the displays and it follows the display with the adapter. The only thing I could tell from the Xorg.0.log file was that it couldn't read the EDID information from that display.
Anyone have any ideas what changed with versions after 295.71 that could have effected this?

Micro - Adventure through the Dolomites
I´ve always wanted to do a trip through the Alps, especially over and across all those legendary roads and passes in the Dolomites. It´s not very hard for me to get there, as I do not live 100mls north of the first peaks. in Erding, near Munich, actually.
My only problem was that I didn´t have a proper bike. I did have a 125ccm bike for commuting, but 12hp are not ideally suited to steep alpine roads and high altitudes. I finally got around to buying a (halfway...) decent bike in autumn last year (Suzuki GS 500) and decided to tackle those mountains. Weather forecast predicted blue sky without any clouds, zero chance of rain and mild temperatures for the area I had planned to ride in.
So one fine day in mid - April I packed my bike (notice the tricked-out luggage carrying system :evil ) and set off.
Lonely backroad, halfway to (Lake) Tegernsee.
The town of the same name is one of the most famous - and one of the most expensive - holiday resorts in Germany.
The mountains begin to rise just south of the lake
The view on the road to the Achensee:
On a viewing platform on the eastern side of the Achensee, looking south:
The legendary "Cafè Kanzelkehre", high above the valley of the (River) Inn.
The equally legendary view from the viewing platform of the Café. I photographed in an easterly direction, innsbruck lies in the same valley, but to the West.
Next step was the Brenner pass. I had decided to take the old road, not the Autobahn. It´s free (unlike the Autobahn) and it´s waaay more fun! This foto was taken from the very beginning of this road. We´re looking back north at Innsbruck here.
Just a few kilometers further, we´re crossing underneath the old "Europabrücke", the tallest bridge of its sort in the world when it was built, if I´m not mistaken.
Halfway up the Brenner road, looking back north. The viaduct on the left is the Autobahn, a bit of "my" road can be seen on the right.
The Brenner pass itself is very unspectacular, just a straight broad road with dirty and ugly factory buildings on both sides, therefore no photos.
Just south of Sterzing you have to choose between staying on the Brenner Road or trying the Jaufenpass that will take you to Bozen via Meran, or the Penser pass, which will take you there through the Sarntal. I chose the Penser. This is the famous rock formation at the beginning of the pass road.
I´m climbing higher...
and higher....(notice how the sun is getting more and more glaring the higher I get)
...all the way to the top. If you look closely at the grey sky or the dark asphalt, you can see the falling snowflakes. Don´t let the sun blind you.
The other side of the pass. A view into the Sarntal (Valley of the Sarn). You can just make out the road leading down. Rather boring, no pictures. Besides, I found it a bit hard to move my fingers and take out the camera, due to the mild temperatures that had made my fingers a bit stiff.
You rode in April because you wanted to avoid the tourists???
Great pictures, I can see by all that snow and the grey clouds that you must have been cold.
When is a good time to ride these roads? Not that I will likely ever get the chance. :cry
April 2007 was the hottest April ever registered in Germany, so i guess I underestimated the weather a bit...a bad mistake in the Alps, the weather there is notorious for coming up with nasty surprises. My jacket was good, but i didnt bring my winter gloves, just thin summer leather gloves. Bad mistake.
if you get the chance you will want to ride the perhaps biggest, highest and most spectacular road in the Alps, the Großglockner-Hochalpen (High Alpine) Straße. It´s the pass that usually opens latest, so you had best plan around that. Big site on the internet, opening times each year can be found there:
Good luck, it´s worth some saving!
P.S. On the website they say they´re planning to turn the road into a "Motorradhimmel", a biker heaven! sounds good, doesn´t it?
The road will take you straight to Bozen (if you let it), I took a little detour through Wangen and Oberbozen that takes you up the mountains on the eastern side of the valley. I can only recommend this (just two words: twisties madness). The follow descent to Bozen is beautiful, very scenic (and also very twisty!)
Bozen, the central marketplace.
The mountain I descended from can be seen in the background.
The new university building. Ready for World War III!
Campingground south of Bozen, looking north. Bloody expensive, not recommended...!
Breakfast next morning. Photo spreads concentration camp atmosphere.
After breakfast I rode back north again, on the old Brenner road that would have taken me south to Bozen had I not taken the Penser road "behind" (south of) Sterzing. In Klausen you have to turn east, on the road to St. Ulrich (Ortisei in Italian, that part of Italy and the people there are more German/Austrian in practice than it is Italian).
This is the official beginning of the "Große Dolomitenstraße", the "Grand Dolomite Road"!
Almost arrived at the first great pass, the "Sellajoch" here, I look back (not in anger)
Skiing and motorcycling are hobbies that manage to be both relaxing and physically hardening. should have brought my skis! :huh
And down again on the other side:
Next stop: the Pordoi pass. Nice icicles.
And once again, down the other side towards Cortina d`Ampezzo (where the james Bond movie was shot)
This last stretch was a real killer. The distance doesn´t look much on the map, but it´s 45 miles of 2nd and 3rd gear twisties at low speed, slippery, wet road, and consistently downhill, which means you have to brake all the time. if my hands hadn´t been so numb from the cold, they would have been screaming. Halfway, I found this inn by the road, and a cup of tea restored most of my vital functions. Careful when you duplicate the tour, the innkeeper has the meanest, oldest, ugliest ChowChow you´ve ever seen. Was so arthritic it could hardly sit down, but the bloody thing still almost took my hand off when I tried to pet it...:eek1 :huh :D
From Cortina d´Ampezzo I rode north to Toblach. Rain started to pour down after half the distance, and it kept raining until Lienz. Originally, I had planned to take the Großglockner Hochalpenstraße back to Zell am See and Kitzbühel, but after a few kilometers I saw a large sign by the road announcing the road was still closed. Probably a good thing, too, in hindsight at least. I was probably too exhausted to attempt that road safely. I took the Felbertauernstraße with the famous tunnel instead.
Then home again. Rest is rather boring. Hope you enjoyed the trip a bit, despite the lousy weather. Perhaps the exotic location made up for it a bit in my first ride report attempt. I´m sure to repeat the trip in the not-too-far future, hopefully with the sun shining.
Goodbye and good luck, ride safely.
Greetings from Germany,
Oh yes, and NEXT time I`ll be sure to pack gear for ALL sorts of weather, no matter what the §$%& forecast says!:deal
Nice ride report!
is this building made of LEGOS! :lol3
Looks like a great ride, except for the snow :vardy!! thanks for the report and pics :thumb
Great report, but it does look painfull! Glad you still enjoyed it in the cold and wet.
Ich vermisse die Alpen...
Real hard core riding experience, great stuff :thumb, pics are a little bit on the cold side :lol3
Awesome, fantastic, loved the pictures!:clap :clap :clap
My wife and I would give up the sun and surf of Western Australia any day to go live in the Dolomites. It is truly a magic place and the favorite place we have been in all our travels. Cortina was the town we liked the most, we will be back some day soon and hopefully next time we will have skis too!
Riding the Dolomites?
come and ride the Dolomites!
Wow. Great job surviving the conditions! :vardy
Thanks for the ride! :thumb
Like your sense of humor, dude.
What I like even more is the brilliant in-your-face to all the fair weather GS riders who spend 20k euros on the bike and bling only to ride to Garmisch once or twice a year :rofl
What I found works best for the short term forecast (I commute from Munich to Milan every weekend, so need this) is the US Air Force website: https://afweather.afwa.af.mil/cgi-bi...P3,.GIF,6,3,15
Say yes to the security warning (if you trust the US government :D )
