New watch has visible flaws, what to do?
Last year I received a number of patents, and to celebrate this little accomplishment I sprung for a new watch. It's a chrono I'd wanted since it was announced, total MSRP near $4k. It has a number of technical bells and whistles - hardened case steel, antireflective crystal coating, black galvanized face and a small capsule in the case which shows blue when there is moisture within the case. It is filled with inert argon to maximize the life of the oil.
Yeah, it's a nerd's watch.
After receiving the watch, I noticed that capsule showed blue. I also noticed that the chrono subdials were not consistent. The usual grooves which disperse glare were evenly executed on one, the other looked like an LP record - wavy and irregular. To add to it, these dials show slightly brown in some light - not like the black galvanized main face.
You can see both issues with a naked eye, no loupe necessary.
I haven't (yet) insisted to return or exchange the watch, mostly because I'd still like a better example of this chrono. An email to the manufacturer resulted in an offer to repair the moisture capsule and examine the subdials. I'm partly thinking that if they can't get things properly looking like a $4k watch, I'll take my business elsewhere. The dials should be black not brown IMHO.
That was communicated to the manufacturer, where I had some other models serviced when I owned those pieces.
I'll let you know the manufacturer of the watch in a bit (not a very well known brand, but very robust), with appropriate pics. Thanks.
Tell them your concerns and ask for a replacement watch.
If they send you something else, return it within the 30 days.
4k for a watch? It better be perfect or it's going back.
I've never heard of Sinn. A friend bought an Audemars-Piaget years ago after some milestone in his life. It was about $14,000. He said it was a real pain and had to go back to Switzerland several times for repair.
Why didn't you notice the issues when you bought it? Did you buy it... on line?
Did he say it is a Sinn? I hope not, they have several models I like and would consider buying.
Interested on how this turns out.
With a top shelf item like a $4k watch ask for a new watch. There is nothing wrong with demanding the quality you're supposedly paying for.
It's a frustration to me that most of these rare brands where I don't get an up close & personal examination just because so few people carry Sinn, so you don't know till you actually get it.
If there's a waviness to one subdial vs. another you might have a point of cosmetic finish to argue. Is it guilloched, or starburst? If you bought it from the retailer, that'd possibly be something I'd consider...but really, w/o a pic, it's hard to say...hell, worth a shot...you're not the expert as to how it's supposed to look...maybe a subpar dial got through Q/A. If you bought it used, it'll cost ya.
If you can get a new watch from them, do so.
I bought a watch for my wife, wedding anniversary stuff, was giving problems from first use. After 4 attempts by the original vendor to fix the problem, I took it to another shop with an in-house repair facility. The head horologist told me the problem looked like a factory error and needed the whole watch sent back! Showed how the the attempts at fixing issue was making the problem worse.
4 months later, watch was back, no problem since, I had to pay for the repair and shipping.
is it this?
There are a lot of guys on this site that are very keen about watches. Personally, I would expect perfection and wouldn't be happy unless I had what I paid for. If it were a gift from a loved one, I might be inclined to overlook the imperfections....but if I bought it for myself, then I would expect more. You don't mention that you inspected the watch prior to purchase, but if it is a Sinn, and they do have a 5-year warranty, then get it replaced.
Besides, if you fall out of love with the watch in the next few years and want to sell it, you will want the best specimen possible.
If Kawalaser is right (he rarely is :D), you picked out a beauty.
I agree with the others, it sounds like you purchased a Sinn chrono. I don't own any of their watches but really like their designs. They are, as you already know, well regarded for build quality.
As far as the defects go, it's up to you what you will tolerate in your new watch. I've seen guys over on TimeZone.com return watches for defects that were only visible under a loupe, which is a bit extreme to me. What you describe sounds more obvious though.
About 5 years ago I bought an Omega Seamaster GMT, the black dial one with two tone black/silver 24hr bezel. The dealer had to order it, and it took a couple weeks to come in. When it arrived I looked it over, paid them, and wore it home. Later that day I'm admiring it and notice that the white painted 'Chronometer' script on the dial is not printed evenly. It looks almost like a rubber stamp that didn't get pressed down evenly all the way across the word. I went back and forth about making a fuss. In the end I figured it was part of the character of the watch that wasn't worth fussing over and I never mentioned it to the dealer.
I guess the moral of the story is that you have to decide if you can live with the watch the way it is or not. I have never regretted my decision on the GMT. Wearing it right now, still love it. :D
An investment, some of these fine watches increase in value, most do.
A status symbol, in a LOT of cases this is key.
A work of art, many are.
Jewelry....kind of.
Some can spend 15 grand on a watch like some can spend 50 dollars. So trying to attach the question of why someone would spend 15K on a watch is like asking why someone might spend 50K on a car or 300k on a house. If they have the money to spend...wy not?
If I purchased a 4K anything, I'd expect it to be top drawer.
Return it for a new (perfect) example.
Or getyour money back, and realize your dream watch simply didn't live up to the dream.

1895 Dollar, Brilliant PR63+1895 $1 PR63+ PCGS. CAC. The Philadelphia Mint did not issue silver dollars for general circulation in 1895, and produced only 880 proofs for sale to the collectors of the period. As a result, the 1895 Philadelphia issue is the sole proof-only date of the series and, in the words of Q. David Bowers, "is far and away the rarest date in the series." Ownership of an attractive 1895 proof is widely regarded as the mark of an advanced Morgan dollar collector, and gives a certain feeling of accomplishment to the series completist.
'King of the Morgan Dollars'
'King of the Morgan Dollars'
An examination of auction prices realized for proof coins between 2010 and 2014 yields some interesting finds. On average, examples graded PR60 to PR64 have realized between $35,402 and $48,156 with a low price variance for pieces certified PR61 to PR64. In Gem proof condition, mean prices realized in the last five years jumps significantly to $81,595. We conclude that this Plus-designated and CAC-approved Select representative offers an excellent opportunity for the discerning collector to acquire a higher-end piece with strong value for the grade.
The surfaces of this proof gleam with brilliance and are devoid of any toning. Moderately frosted design features show strong definition overall and contrast pleasingly against the reflective fields, with only minor strike incompleteness over Liberty's ear. Two small planchet voids between the AT in STATES and over the M in AMERICA serve as a future pedigree markers. Overall, this is a highly appealing example of a famed Morgan dollar rarity.(Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 27ZR, PCGS# 7330)

I don't expect to them fight at all.
Wlad IMO has fought the better guys, but there are guys Vitali has fought that won't get a fight v Wlad, because they lost to Vitali.
If Vit's last name was Maskaev, there'd be an uproar that the 2 hadn't fought, and both guys would be titlists.
A bit like Pac v Mayweather really.

Nah, when one guy walks away from a contracted fight as part of a 4 man heavyweight tournament - the tournament being the ONLY reason you got your title shot in the first place (Ruddock was actually first in line to face Holy) you lose all credibility in regards to dominance. Especially when your next fights are against Dokes and Ferguson.
I don't disagree too much. Again, we have to resort to comparisons for the brothers, not a real fight.
Prime for prime Wlad beats Vitali by decision.
Probably. Vitali suffers v both Lewis and Wlad because both of those guys are big enough to reach him with right hands when he uses his "lean away" defence (not many others are), and the fact he doesn't truly have enough to stop those guys (who can both be stopped) in his right hand.
He hurt Lewis early, but in the last 2 rounds in particular, Lewis made barely any attempt at defence, and basically stalked Vitaly with his hands at his waist.
Vitali could stop Wlad, in the manner Peter KD him several times. Just pressure leading to befuddlement. Lewis reacts far better to being pressured and being buzzed.
Good fight. Wlad would be favourite, but Vitali would be a very live underdog.

All in all, very solid and reasonable arguments from you my friend. It's good to see some moderate, logical thinking people on this board - there are way too many extremists, haters and **** riders.
Yeah, it is semantics true.
It's very hard on this board to actually like both (or several) fighters. I like Lewis, but I think Wlad is excellent too. It's good to chat about this stuff with somebody that isn't a total nutjob to be honest.....
I thought Wlad was very good v Wach (a very overmatched Wach BTW - great chin, but very slow and had absolutely zero offence to trouble Wlad) - Wlad fought like he SHOULD have fought against the other overmatched guys like Iggy, Thomson, Chambers etc.
IMO, I still think Lewis fought and beat the better fighters. That's absolutely not Wlads fault. There's very few guys he hasn't fought, it's just really outside of the brothers - Haye isn't too bad but clearly is solely in it for the money - there's really not much.
Fighters are either really limited, or really fat, and just happy for the payday of a title shot.
Just aren't willing to take the step up. Happy to plug away at a lower level, taking the money, but not being "ready" for a title shot, even in their 30's (yes Mr Povetkin, I'm talking about you).
How else do you explain guys like Briggs, Rahman etc. STILL getting title shots?

VisionTek GeForce3 - The Card
Say goodbye to the brown box we had grown accustomed to seeing. VisionTek now has to compete with the likes of Hercules and Creative for shelf presence.
And the back, in case you are interested...
The box is similar to one used for a motherboard with the exception of a card retainer. Along with the card comes a more polished user manual and driver disk then seen with previously OEM oriented VisionTek products. The user manual is loaded with information to help you install the card right the first time around, even including a step to verify your card's IRQ.
Currently, VisionTek includes the 12.00 reference drivers. The drivers were stable for all games I have played on the GeForce3. I ran the 11.01 for this portion of the review as the 12.00 drivers have issues surrounding Anisotropic filtering. More on that in part two.
The box may be bigger but the card is getting smaller. Following the reference design, VisionTek's GeForce3 trims a couple square inches of green real estate from your PC when compared to the Ultra. A huge part of this reduction in size comes from the redesign of memory traces bringing storage closer to the chip. Take a look.
The memory is about a quarter of an inch closer to the GPU. The memory heatsinks are now almost butted up to the GeForce3's heatsink/fan unit. The view of the back shows the shortened traces to the memory.
Before opening the fullsize image, you can see that the GeForce3's board components are denser than those on the Ultra. I have equated memory traces to exhaust headers before, the goal is to have all traces equal length. Take a closer look at how NVIDIA accomplished this while reducing the footprint.
Even if you do not get a card with the 3.8ns DDR memory, memory overclocking results should improve over the Ultra because the board itself will alleviate bottlenecks that caused instabilty on the Ultra when increasing the clockspeeds. More on that on the next page.
There is a TV-out on my card. Other manufacturers are still using the daughterboard, but this card has the same Brooktree/Conexant chip we have grown accustomed to on the board. S-Video is default with Composite out available via an optional adapter. I briefly tested the TV-out which functions as advertised.
I shut down the gaming rig, slapped in the new card and got under way. I had already been running the 11.01 drivers so no changes were necessary in that department, but those of you with older revisions should do the usual VGA apapter-shutdown-install new drivers routine.
2D quality is slightly improved on the GeForce3, though I never complained before. I tested all the way up to 1600x1200x32bpp at 75Hz, the upper limit on my Viewsonic E790B. No sign of the Ultra's Interference problem at any resolution or refresh rate, but again, I have never seen the problem on any of the Ultras I have tested in either of my systems.
On the next page, I will open up the floodgates and see how the VisionTek GeForce3 handles increased clockspeeds with a few benchmarks thrown in for good measure.

Rancho Las Mariposas
Rancho Las Mariposas was a 44,387-acre (179.63 km2) Mexican land grant in present day Mariposa County, California given in 1844 by Governor Manuel Micheltorena to Juan Bautista Alvarado.[1] The grant takes its name from Mariposa Creek, which was named for the butterflies ("mariposas" in Spanish) in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The grant was near Yosemite on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain chain, and encompasses present day Mariposa and the former towns of Agua Fria and Ridleys Ferry.[2][3]
Juan B. Alvarado, a former Mexican governor of California, was awarded the grant in 1844. The ten square league grant was described as being located generally on the Mariposa Creek between the San Joaquin River, Chowchilla River, and Merced River and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This is much bigger area than ten square leagues, and the intent was that Alvarado would select the particular ten square leagues within these boundaries - what has been called a "floating grant". Alvarado never complied with the usual requirements for a grant due to the presence of hostile Indians.[4]
After playing his part in the Bear Flag Revolt in 1846, John C. Frémont, soldier, explorer, and (later) presidential candidate, decided to settle down in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1847 he sent $3,000 to the U.S. consul to the Territory of California, Thomas O. Larkin, to buy a ranch near Mission San José. Despite clear instructions, for some reason, Larkin purchased Rancho Las Mariposas in the southern Sierra Nevada foothills from Juan B. Alvarado. To Frémont this was worthless land, over one hundred miles from the nearest settlement, had no farms or ranch lands, and was inhabited by hostile Indians. Frémont demanded the ranch near the Mission San Jose or his money back. Larkin did not act, and from 1847 to 1848 Frémont was in Washington defending himself at a court-martial.[5] When Frémont returned to California, he learned of the gold discovery at Coloma. Shortly thereafter, Frémont discovered gold in the Mariposa region. Frémont's unwanted tract of land turned out to be the richest rancho in California.[6] Before Frémont could legally establish his grant boundaries, thousands of miners arrived on the scene. Few of the miners acknowledged Frémont's claim and a legal battle began that would take until 1856 to settle and 1859 to finalize.
Using the vague description of the original Alvarado grant, Frémont "floated" his ten square league rancho from the original claim to cover mineral lands including properties already in the possession of miners. Rancho Las Mariposas took shape along a wide vein that stretched from Mariposa Creek to the Merced River. When the boundaries were surveyed, the grant included Mariposa, Bear Valley and the Pine Tree and Josephine mine complex. The Pine Tree Mine was discovered in 1849, and it was consolidated with the Josephine Mine in 1859. The ore from the Pine Tree and Josephine mines was crushed at the Benton mill. Frémont also owned and operated the Oso House hotel in Bear Valley. He and his wife Jessie Benton Frémont made their home in Bear Valley until 1859, when they bought a home in San Francisco.[4]
With the cession of California to the United States following the Mexican-American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored. As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for Rancho Las Mariposas was filed with the U.S. Board of Land Commissioners in 1852,[7] who confirmed his title, according to the survey, which he, himself, had made. On appeal to the U. S. District Court, the decision of the Board was reversed and Frémont's lawyers immediately appealed the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. In December 1854, the U. S. Supreme Court remanded his case back to the District Court,[8] declaring the claim valid and ordering an official survey, and the grant was patented to John C. Frémont in 1856.[9]
Frémont never worked the mines himself but preferred to lease the mines to different entities. Frémont hired Palmer, Cook & Co., San Francisco bankers, to organize the Mariposa Mining Co. in 1850.[10]
In 1857, Frémont leased the Mount Ophir section of his grant to Biddle Boggs. However, the Merced Mining Co. occupied the property and operated a gold mine. Merced Mining Co. maintained that the official survey had been made in a clandestine manner and that Frémont had no title to the minerals, as his grant was for grazing and agricultural purposes only. Lengthy litigations in the face of hostile public sentiment piled up court costs and lawyer fees. In 1858, the California Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Merced Mining Co. A rehearing was granted and in 1859 the California Supreme Court reversed itself, and ruled in favor of Biddle Boggs and Frémont.[11][12] The other claimants lost many valuable holdings. In the summer of 1858 a group of armed men seized the Pine Tree Mine, but after five days of armed confrontation with Frémont's men, they were ordered out by the governor.[10]
After the dissolution of Halleck, Peachy & Billings, Trenor W. Park worked on Frémont's legal and financial problems. In January 1863, Fremont, then a Major-General in the Union Army, sold Rancho Las Mariposas with its mines and infrastructure to Morris Ketchum, a New York City banker, who formed a public corporation, the Mariposa Company, and sold stock. In 1863, Frederick Law Olmsted, noted New York landscape architect, came to Mariposa as superintendent for the Mariposa Company. Olmsted was not a mining expert. Investments were made in stamp mills, tunnels, shafts, and the other infrastructure related to the mining towns. By 1865, the Mariposa Company was bankrupt, Olmsted returned to New York, and mines were sold at a sheriff's sale.[10]

Motorcycle Tow Dolly / Caddy / Hitch-towing Gadget
I'm moving soon and I was in the market for a trailer to haul my KLR behind my 4-cyl Honda Accord and decided that this was a nice alternative. A compact, user-friendly apparatus, in my opinion.
I purchased this one for $118 shipped ($89.99 + $29 s&h). LINK
Images from site:
It looks pretty chincy in the images. I'll reinforce if / as necessary. The KLR is hardly a heavy bike in comparison to the spectrum of current models, so I'm not too concerned with disastrous results.
A more expensive, slightly more robust version can be found HERE. I opted for the cheap one- imagine that.
I have a 1.25" hitch on my Accord. It's rated for 200# tongue weight. I will weigh the front wheel of the KLR over the weekend (sans fuel) and see how close I'm coming to this limit (fingers crossed). Gotta burn my fuel first...
The tow dolly is meant for 2" receiver hitches, therefore I will be making a slight modification to connect to my hitch. Adapters are commercially available, but generally not recommended for towing. I may simply weld on a 1.25" piece to bridge the connection. This will be determined later, as I may need to simultaneously adjust ride-height (8-10" suggested).
Yes, I'll be removing the drive chain when towing.
__________________________________________________ _______
I will review the motorcycle tow dolly here, as I was unable to find such a review on ADV.
1. PURCHASE- Purchased the tow dolly in the morning and received UPS shipping confirmation and a tracking number a few hours later. Package is 37 lbs. Will arrive on the 28th. Company seems reputable so far.
2. ASSEMBLY- Box contents were orderly. Construction looks quality. Steel is heavy gage and welds all look nice. Box contents look like this-
Notice- no washers. Wtf? Not necessary, I guess.
Assembly instructions are a terribly photocopied one-sheet. Doesn't take a genius to figure it out though. Hope you have SAE wrenches.
Comes with one strap.
OK, now my initial gripes-
Th top crossbar is attached to the main body with a thru-bolt. Problem is, there is way too much play between the insert and the sleeve. This is a major source for instability. See images below.
You can see the gap from above.
Closer view. Thinking of shimming the gaps with aluminum.
No way to actually tighten the bolt enough to close those gaps (sleeve material is too rigid). Check out the wobble-
Stay tuned...
__________________________________________________ _______
If anyone has experience with this type of caddy (i.e. with one bike wheel on the ground), please contribute your comments.
There are plenty of reviews for the other types of hitch haulers on this site (i.e. non-rolling type), so please withhold such comments unless they are based on direct comparison of these two types. Thanks

I have a Class II 1 1/4 inch hitch setup on my car, not the Class III 2".
After numerous calls to the StateHighwayPatrol, and the local Police, plus the Sheriff's office, they all said the same thing.
'No, it's not illegal. And if it isn't 'fishtailing', we won't even look twice..'
So, i decided to try to build one, as the total price plus shipping gave me room to work with..
I found some square steel stock 1 1/4 inch and had it welded up..
Instead of the eyelagscrews for your tiedown straps, i just drilled 7/16" holes in the rear for the strap 'hooks'..you can see them in the picture, if you enlarge it.
this is my result..click them for larger images
It hasn't been painted yet..it's raining(finally)
Now I'm getting three ratcheting clamps from the hardware, plus two normal motorcycle tiedowns for the handlebars, for a total of five straps..maybe two more, just for overkill (7)
I spent today boring the holes with a drill press for the hitch pin, and the 'hooks' on the tiedowns..
It's raining cats and dogs..but when it stops, i'm going to hook my NX to it, and drag it around town for research..
If i like it, I might take it on longer trips..
no actual experience here yet,as per your request, but i'm close..
I might be able to film a shot of me towing with it, but first i gotta get a 'dry run' down to make sure it doesn't whip wildly behind me...

Excellent job, VC. Looking forward to the review. So, including the materials (steel, straps, paint, labor, etc.) you think it was still economical compared to the commercially made alternative?
Several pluses with your design-
1) crossbar is welded in place. Commercially made one is bolted (so they can ship it easier).
2) material is for 1.25" hitch. The 2" material is likely overkill for this usage and only adds weight.
I'll still have to buy straps for mine (and possibly an adaptor- we'll see), so I'll provide a final cost eventually.
What kind of car are you using to tow?
I do have a few thoughts that may be of issue with this type of carrier-
I'm imagining that with the front wheel strapped in, there are basically two articulation points on the bike: front axle and steering stem. The bike is gonna move no matter what you do. Bumps in the road, turns, and entering / exiting roadways will make the bike articulate. Why, then, is the strap attachment point where it is?? Having the bike strapped in a traditional, handlebar-forward manner is great for hauling on a trailer, but for this setup it seems more logical to anchor the bike at an axis of articulation, namely the front axle...
let me explain- When strapping the handlebars to this rack while parked, you are assuming that the appropriate tension will stay that way. In fact, every peak or valley in the roadway will be adding slack and tension to those straps on a frequent basis- possibly with enough snap force to damage the straps. That is assuming that when faced with slack conditions, the strap hooks remain in an appropriate position on the bike (may need to consider that). What if you combine a turn with an abrupt incline (like a driveway)?? You'd then have an unnatural high-side leaning bike and slacked straps... I'm thinking that would be a bad combo.
If the fixed anchor on the caddy was in the same axis as the front axle, no matter how much the bike bounced along the roadway, the tension would be constant (as long as the forks are compressed).
Does this make sense?
Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I'm gonna be towing this thing from Mesa, AZ to Tulsa, OK (1,100 miles).

DD, I believe the answer to your query is in the first picture you posted, the one of the blue Concours. Note that there are 5 straps, 2 blue ones from the handlebars and 2 orange ones from the tripletree. Looks like overkill but I think that this would keep the front end pretty staight in the hauler.
To answer your other question, I had one of these for a while. I purchased the bike caddy that has a lift on the wheel chock. It also had a pivot just upstream of the chock that would allow the chock to rotate left/right or it could be pinned in the straight position. Used the caddy 3 times before I sold it. The caddy worked fine but my problem was that the thing weighted about 80 pounds and it was a PITA to get it on and off the truck and it was too big to leave it there. I decided that I liked my back more than I liked the caddy.

I would suggest you take the chain off a bike before using one of these. Many bikes lube their gear box via the oil pump which is engaged only while the bikes engine is on. Short trips wouldn't be a huge deal I suppose, but on many bikes you are basically running the counter without proper lubrication.

Maybe VC can enlighten us... is the research and development complete? Inquiring minds want to know? We were promised pics and video
My caddy is supposed to arrive today. UPS says it's in transit.
I still haven't rolled the front wheel on a scale. Seems nobody has these contraptions anymore. Maybe I need more neurotic friends.
EDIT: Arrived and assembled. See above.

It quit raining today, but i didn't get any time to mess with it.
The ratchet straps i bought were of such laughable quality, i had to return them. I nearly ripped them with my bare hands, before i decided that succeeding there might impede me returning them.
I'm going to Northern or HarborFreight to source a quality set, as i too intend to drag motorcycle for hundreds of miles at a time.
So I'm 3 ratchet straps from actually being able to try it.
I'm looking foward to messing with it when i get some good ratcheting straps..I already have the tiedowns..
too bad the nearest HF is 75 miles away..

There is nothing quality at HF, IMHO. Yes, I shop there, but not for quality supplies. Bite the bullet and spend $15-30 on a good set of four ratcheting straps. They will last a while and are unlikely to fail you. Believe it or not- I've found decent straps at Walmart. An auto parts store is a good source as well.
Also, you inspired me to get the specs on my Accord. I didn't know it was such a muscle car- 150 HP @ 5,700 rpm; 152 ft lb , 206 Nm @ 4,900 rpm

Just remember you are wearing out your rear tire, chain and sprockets everywhere you tow. There are some really inexpensive fold up trailers out there. Would pay for itself easily saving the wear and tear on the bike. Plus if you got a really fat girl friend one of these days that wouldn't fit in that little car you would have a place for her to ride.

However, it seems many people overlook the fact that there will be very little tire, chain, or sprocket wear because hardly any torque is applied. Braking and accelerating are what wear these components down quickly. The amount of friction these components experience is directly related to the forces applied. The more legitimate concern is with the transmission counter shaft and associated parts not being lubricated by the oil pump on many motorcycles when the engine is off. But again, no torque is being applied to the counter shaft except the torque necessary to overcome its rotational inertia during speed changes. I would love to see a component wear study using a new bike driven for 5000 miles and another new bike dragged for 5000 miles.
The chain, drive shaft, or belt could be disconnected for longer trips. If you were worried about it and could not disconnect the transmission from the wheel, the motorcycle engine could be left idling to provide oil pressure during a shorter distance trip. If the bike did not run, it could be dragged a short distance in 6th gear with the throttle open every so often during longer trips to re-lubricate the transmission. What would be cool is an electric oil pump that connects to the oil filter and drain plug, but disconnecting the drive mechanism is probably much easier and cheaper.
Anyway, I just finished building one of these things two days ago. I'll try to do some more testing and post some more photos of the finished product and sharp 90 degree turns. Here is my write-up and design:
Motorcycle Tow Bar
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one crazy enough to try building and using one of these things. I would love to hear and see more about Dirty Dog's and ValveCrusher's experiences towing their motorcycles.

Circumstances with my cross-country move caused me to throw the bike inside the moving truck, therefore, I have yet to use my tow dolly.
The more I think about it though, the tie-down location for the handlebars needs to be in line with the front axle for proper stability and free pivot. I may modify mine if I can get around to it.
Don't know what happened to VC's project.

Crm: The Truth, The Whole Truth And Nothing But The Truth(For A Change)
out the true facts about what makes CRM tick and how fast it circles the ROI
clock—if it indeed reaches ROI—has long frustrated potential CRM implementers
looking for answers. And getting good answers really matters, because their
only alternative to being forewarned may be leaping into enterprise-wide, mega-bucks,
change management-laden CRM implementations—and testing the depth of the water
with both feet.
the first time, there are statistically-based, substantive answers to many questions
about CRM.
answers have been very easy to come by. Too easy. The problem has been getting
the same answers from any two sources. That's ranged from difficult to impossible,
depending on the question. At least it has been until now. But after the recent
release of the findings from a comprehensive study of 448 completed CRM implementations,
confusion no longer reigns. Or more realistically, now that accurate data is
available confusion should no longer reign.
new study, The
Blueprint for CRM Success1, evaluates real-life implementation
approaches relative to real-life ROI performance, and does so across a sufficiently
high number of implementations to leave but minimal margin of statistical error.
Moreover, the research sponsors, Caribou Lake Customer-1 and CRMGuru.com partnered
with an "outcome-neutral" statistical research firm, Mangen Research
Associates, to assure that the data collection methods and statistical analysis
would conform to rigorous professional standards.
fact, the impetus for this research project arose from a desire by some CRM
professionals to cut through the ubiquitous claims and counterclaims surrounding
CRM, many germinating from "studies" conducted by parties picking up the telephone
and dialing twenty CIOs or Marketing VPs with known opinions and biases.
- The
Blueprint for CRM Success; Dick Lee (author of this article), David
Mangen, Ph.D, Bob Thompson; HYM Press 2003.
Inaccuracies abound in information about CRM from supply-side sources
surprisingly, these claims come mostly from organizations or individuals with
something to sell—whether market information, CRM application software, consulting
services, conferences, books, magazines, webzine subscriptions or anything else
pulled along by CRM. And played back together, they sound so cacophonous that
they conjure up audible images of CRM running full speed across the business
stage pulling a long string of tin cans behind it.
example, how can one software vendor enjoy a 99% implementation success rate
and own dominant market share both, while only 30% of all implementations are
successful? Pick any two, but not all three. Or how about two industry analyst
firms releasing "expert" opinions on CRM success rates within one week of each
other—one saying 80% of implementations succeed, the other saying 70% fail?
Gee, wonder what that's about? And how about when "house" research says a vendor
enjoys customer satisfaction ratings over 90 but independent research sings
a different tune, reporting satisfaction ratings 30 points lower? Clearly something
is up (and it's probably not customer satisfaction).
most misstatements like the ones above are what we might term "motivated misstatements,"
as opposed to simple misunderstandings or mistakes from unknowingly basing opinions
on statistically insignificant data. The very fact that so many claims about
CRM from so many sources don't square with each other—after years of empirical
if not statistical evidence gathering—indicates that many CRM claims-makers
are hearing what they want to hear—and no body of data, no matter how substantial,
will deter some from saying what they're motivated to say in order to sell their
wares. Especially when these data say things some absolutely don't want to hear—and
don't want their potential customers to hear. "Blueprint's" individual data
points, while adding up to good news for CRM implementers, contain more downside
than upside for those CRM vendors accustomed to creating a false picture of
CRM tailored to suit their own purposes. That's even true of the study's positive
findings on ROI.
From the "Blueprint" study—good news about ROI
data undercuts the 70% failure rate story, along with the 60% version and even
the 50% version. Despite applying a relatively rigorous standard of success,
these data indicate that 45% of implementations are or will be clear ROI producers
(within two years, based on typical outlays); 35% are clearly failing and may
never return their investment; and 20% are in a gray area where they'll likely
show positive returns over time, but not as quickly as most implementers would
like to see them. On balance, the majority of the 20% "gray area"
implementations will wind up successfully paying off their capital investments
in a time frame generally acceptable to financial management, especially in
better economic times.
these are "good news" numbers from an implementer perspective. So
what's not to like about them from a vendor perspective? For openers, analysts
still proclaiming 70% or 60% failure rates now have well-earned egg on their
faces—in some cases enough to beg questions about whether they just might have
"research" clients that want technology spending steered towards non-CRM
investments—in ERP or SCM or data warehouses, etc. But that's not the only potential
disappointment in better-than-commonly-expected CRM success rates.
Even better news about CRM failures
important corollary to the success rates are the reasons for CRM failure. For
their part, CRM implementers-to-be wanting reassurance that success is something
within their span of control can take great comfort in knowing that CRM failure
follows a distinct pattern.
that fail have a high propensity to:
are traps and snares that implementers can choose to avoid. Or, to flip that
around, implementers that fail, fail through their own fault—whether that fault
be ignoring the realities that require CRM implementers to tackle some tough
stuff in order to succeed or, no better, not bothering to learn the realities
before starting to implement. In either case, self-inflicted injuries.
care to avoid these missteps would not appear to be a very controversial message—at
first blush. But if you've been around CRM for a while, you'll recognize that
these four failings are all symptomatic of a flawed view of CRM that's often
aggressively sold to implementers by software vendors—the view that CRM begins
with software and that implementers can safely sidestep activities involving
strategic planning and people and org charts by keeping CRM "tactical"
and limited in scope (limited to software or a dollop of process with their
technology). Nice try, but "Blueprint" data show CRM's ROI heavily
skewed toward strategic implementations substantial enough to take on tough
issues such as developing new strategies, dealing with organizational and human
change, and creating measurable accountabilities. Another reminder that we get
what we pay for—and as it turns out in the case of CRM implementers trying the
tactical route, often much less than we pay for.
The recipe for CRM success is easy to follow
you might expect, the recipe for CRM success is the flip side of the four-step
recipe for failure. Successful CRM implementations typically:
But much easier said than done. While knowing that these four factors alone
exert a powerful influence on success rates is very reassuring to CRM implementers
prepared to roll up their sleeves and take CRM seriously. However, this finding
stands squarely in the way of several sizable CRM constituencies:
Overall, the "Blueprint" findings reflect a split between CRM implementer versus CRM vendor interests
principal findings continue this pattern of pleasing implementers more than
vendors. To cite several examples:
Knowing CRM's past should improve its future
So—will having hard data contribute much to curing what ails CRM (which is still ailing, despite the positive findings)? On the implementer side, potentially (and hopefully) it will—especially if it increases the percentage of implementers approaching CRM as business strategy, not a technology purchase. On the vendor side? Hard to gauge. Some CRM software sellers and consultants are already listening carefully to customers and adapting to marketplace realities. But there's a hard-core group that's doing neither. And while it's a good bet that natural market forces will wash this group away, until they're gone, implementers need to keep their guards up—and know the true facts about CRM before they start (or buy).

Gluten Free Recipes
Looking for a gluten free recipe, whether it is because of general health reasons, or becasue you suffer from gluten intolerance? You're in the right place!
Some of the recipes here also cater for people with other dietary requirements, including vegetarians and those who are dairy intolerant.
But don't forget, these recipes can also be enjoyed by those with no dietary requirements. Also, be assured that I have tested most of them on my non-Coeliac family and friends – and I've had no complaints so far! :-)
Chicken, lentil and vegetable soup
May 23rd
Posted by Petra in Gluten Free Product Reviews
It is definitely starting to feel like winter and I have therefore changed from my brown rice sushi, to soup for lunches.
A couple of weeks ago I wasn't very prepared and therefore bought La Zuppa's lentil soup for lunches. The soups are all natural and gluten free so a great lunch choice (however the salt content is quite high). Though, the last couple of weeks I have been making enough soup for the week each Sunday.
I found this recipe for chicken, vegetable & barley soup on Me vs the Bulge's blog and loved the sound of it so decided to make More >

Mum had some chorizo's in the fridge and wanted to use them the night that my aunt, uncle and cousin arrived from NZ for the Easter weekend.

Quinoa porridge with mixed berries – gluten free

A little while ago I did a post on quinoa porridge with banana, however I thought that I would revisit the concept of quinoa porridge for two reasons: 1) it is definitely feeling like porridge weather and 2) I have come across a bit of debate recently about whether oats are in fact gluten free or not.
I was made aware of Bob's Red Mill a company based in Oregon who label their oats as being uncontaminated and therefore gluten free. I was interested to see this as I had always been told that oats, even when uncontaminated, aren't gluten free. I More >
French toast with ricotta and banana – gluten free
May 10th
Posted by Petra in Gluten Free Recipes
I had been eying up the french toast recipe in Teresa Cutter's 80/20 Diet cookbook for awhile now and finally got around to making some on the weekend.
The recipe called for blueberries but unfortunately they are no longer in season so I decided on raspberry's instead (which in the end were only a few dollars cheaper!). The second time I made this french toast I left the berry's out altogether as they didn't add much to the flavour (however the photo with the berry's looks much better hence still including it).
The great thing about this french toast as you only More >

All week I have been thinking about what cake I would make my Mum for Mother's Day. I decided that it would be good to use the box of Well & Good Sponge Swiss Roll Mix that has been sitting in the pantry for a couple of months. Before I went gluten free I would never have even considered making a sponge cake (as my perception was they are quite boring), however I was intrigued to see how successful a gluten free sponge cake would be.
I decided to have a search for a cake using sponge that was a bit more More >
Feijoa cream coconut pie

When we lived in New Zealand we had a huge feijoa tree in the backyard. It produced so many feijoa's that Mum didn't know what to do with them (my sister and I even sold bags on the street to get a bit of extra pocket money) so she was constantly searching for recipes to use the feijoa's in. She can't remember where she got this recipe from but it was my absolute favourite and I was rather upset when I found that feijoa's are very rare in Australia.
So you can imagine my excitement when I found a feijoa tree More >

39 year old man | Frederick, MD, USA | Seeking women 30-35 within 75 miles of Asheville, NC
There is much about me that I would like you...
There is much about me that I would like you to know. First and most important, everything that I have placed on my profile is true. Some people embellish themselves in order to impress others. That is not the case for me. Secondly, though I maybe wearing a tux, that is not my main disposition (personality). I consider myself to be a laid-back type of individual. Now the fun stuff, me sharing about myself. First of all, I am a Caribbean guy. I am originally from Trinidad, West Indies. I spent the first 16 years of my life in Trinidad. I was raised by Christian parents. My values and morals are high. Ladies, I am expecting the same from you. Lades, at my age, I have worked my entire life developing the individual before you. I have done quite a few interesting things in my life such as serving in the military, pursuing a couple advanced degrees, and keeping a good head on my shoulders along the way. During my leisure, I enjoy cooking, entertaining and keeping in touch with family members and friends, going to the movies, concerts (music and comedy), etc. As for the lady that I am seeking, she is someone, who is beautiful on the inside and the outside. I am looking for someone with classy and style, not just in appearance, but also in the way you carry yourself. Appeal is very important to me. Sorry, I am not interested in the sisters with heavy tattoos, piercings. She is an independent, education, and God-fearing person. She is someone, who is fun to be around. So, there you have it in a nutshell. The purpose of this profile is not necessarily to outline everything that I am seeking in a partner or about myself, but to provide an idea as to the person, with whom I hope to meet. If you feel that you might meet the bill and interested in becoming more acquainted, please don't be shy. Of course, if I were to see you first I will contact you. Well, to eligible bachelorettes, talk with you soon.

Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Golf, Running, Soccer, Swimming, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Dogs, Fish
None at this time, but I do plan on eventually putting together a salt water tank and having a dog. I am not sure of a specific breed. My eyes on the Terriers breeds.
Anywhere in the Caribbean would be my first choice. I have traveled to China, Bahamas, and South Korea enjoyed them.
Webster University, St. Louis, MO
Caribbean Music, TV Series (Spartacus, Sopranos, Prison Break, and 24), enjoy cooking Caribbean dishes, I am a musician (percussion drums and congers).
Maintaining a close network of family members and friends are most important. Having a healthy lifestyle through sports and eating right. With the right person, traveling, quite times together, and anything else of mutual interests!
Unfortunately, graduate textbooks, but always a pleasure, the Bible.

When people think about slavery, they usually think of the traditional chattel slavery that was seen in America's past. That form does still exist in certain countries, but slavery has evolved, and now most often occurs in these forms:
Data and statistics on human trafficking are very limited, because the crime is largely invisible – most of these values likely underestimate actual figures. While the issue of modern slavery is global in scale, many experts believe that it can be brought to an end in 25 years – if we are able to sustain our attention on the issue.

William and Kate Dazzle in L.A. (Photos)
The Royal Couple spent their first night in Los Angeles attending Variety's Venture Capital and New Media Summit at The Beverly Hilton hotel, according to E! Online.
Middleton, always one to dazzle in the latest fashions, fittingly chose to wear a 'Maja' green dress by American designer Diane Von Furstenberg for the occasion.
At the technology and media-focued event, William and Kate mingled with guests, including British Ambassador Sir Nigel Sheinwald, California Governor Jerry Brown and pal David Beckham (who's expecting a new baby any day now).
Up next for the couple on the their whirlwind California trip? William will play in a charity polo match at the Santa Barbara Polo Club to benefit the American Friends of the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry before the couple heads to a black-tie affair held by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Saturday night.

I was just thinking Kate might be developing an eating disorder.
She obviously loves the camera and the camera loves her and maybe she wants that to continue.......And why not?

Man what a waste of the medias time to print and show photos of this frolicing lazy couple around the world What do they do for a honest living? Just be prince & princes or whatever they are.
What important things have they done in their lifetime except go around smiling, shaking hands, and getting thier picture taken.
Prince William should tell his woman to gain a few pounds instead
of looking like a person who is dying or doesn't eat. She needs to eat few greasy burgers, fries and milk shakes, pizza and some other fatty foods that are abundant in Califas.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is beautiful but anorexic, a bit to thin, just like her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, who was bulemic. Does the Royal House of Windsor enjoy food? Just wondering. Obviously, William, Duke of Cambridge, chose not to wear a wedding ring; it is an option for any male who wants to wear a wedding ring; there are no rules about wedding rings,just like in the USA. Men wearing wedding rings started as a loving symbolic, remembrance gesture during World War II for a soldier leaving for war with his bride left at home.It is a very personal preference.
- Sunday 10 JulyBy mfb
this is exactly the type of crap that got the prince's mother killed. they are a beautiful couple and he is a marvelously giving and gifted young man. he asked to be left alone. enough nastiness

The city of Byram plans to make repairs to a failing storm drain on Megan Drive and Bull Run Circle. Public Works Director Tammie Roberson said there is a failure in joints in the pipe causing it to take on dirt. It causes sinkholes along the pipe as well as accumulating debris, causing improper drainage. Public Works has asked the Board of Aldermen to proceed with project specifications and getting quotes for drain repair.
ALSO: The Board of Aldermen plans to vote soon on citywide resort status for businesses to sell alcohol on Sundays. Over the summer, the city started a petition process for El Dorado Mexican Grille to be able to sell alcohol after Sunday brunch hours, noon to 10 p.m. Instead of a case-by-case basis, Byram could appeal to the Alcoholic Beverage Control to allow the city to determine who can sell alcohol on Sunday and the hours.
COMING UP: On Saturday, view classic cars at the Jackson Dragway and help raise funds for Byram police officer Sgt. Jay Nelson, who lost his home to a fire May 10. The Dragway, 7557 Siwell Road, is hosting a benefit car show for Operation Homeward Bound, gates open at noon. Admission is $10, children under 10 get in free. Registration is $25 per car and includes admission for one spectator. If you would like to donate, the "Jay Nelson Benefit Fund" is at Bancorp South on Terry Road.

Mason Jarred: Was a Piece About Freemasons Too Fringey for Capital Fringe?
Andy Baroch had a pencil sharpener shaped like the Washington Monument in one hand, and a hammer in the other.
As he pummeled the tiny obelisk into the grass by the Capitol Reflecting Pool, the hammer's head flew off. The mini-monument stayed intact, though covered in dirt. "This gives me no pleasure," he said, as the remaining audience dissipated.
Baroch was concluding his Capital Fringe Festival show Secrets of the National Mall, which was classified as "storytelling" in the 2014 festival guide (although within the larger "drama" section) and described thusly: "Radio news reporter reveals the secrets of the Freemasons, the underground fraternal organization which designed the National Mall. Join his walking tour to hear the shocking truth!"
Few audiences would get to. After the first weekend, tickets for Secrets of the National Mall were no longer available for purchase on the Fringe website, even though it had originally been scheduled for 22 performances, more than any other show in the festival. Was it simply too fringe for Fringe?
Thirteen people, myself included, assembled at the Capitol Reflecting Pool at 7 p.m. on the first Friday of the festival. They'd paid $17 for the privilege, in addition to the mandatory $7 button required for entry to any Fringe venue ($5 if you bought it early enough). I got to go for free, because I was reviewing it for Fringeworthy. Baroch, our ostensible tour guide, had us sit in the grass with a clear view of the Washington Monument. It was time to explain why the National Mall is actually the largest hieroglyph in the world.
"What is it?" he asked us in a deep baritone, gesturing at the Washington Monument. "What is it?"
The audience threw out ideas—an obelisk? No. A penis? Nope.
"It's a dildo," said Baroch.

Aztec Children
When a baby was born, the parents went to a soothsayer to find out the child's fate, which was determined by the date it was born. Immediately
the child was taught to work hard in life
. A boy was expected to follow in his father's profession and to be a good warrior. He was given a tiny shield, bow and arrows, and tools like those his father used. A girl was expected to stay at home, working in the house and weaving. She would be given tiny spindles for spinning thread and a broom.
Boys from noble families went to a temple school for three years starting when they were 12 years old. They learned about military training, the calendar, Aztec customs, and religion. Because so few knew how to read, they learned the Aztec codices by heart. The sons of common people went to live at a school run by their calpulli from age 12 until they were married. There
they learned how to use weapons
, work in the field, and follow the many religious rituals. Both boys and girls went to a House of Song from ages 12 to 15 to learn the songs, dances, and music of the Aztec religion. This was the only education that girls were given outside of the home.

Con-Man Bolt Sentenced In Federal Fraud Case
Posted: June 24, 2014 at 1:30 a.m.
FAYETTEVILLE -- A Rogers con man was sentenced to more than eight years in federal prison, fined $50,000 and ordered to pay more than $2.5 million in restitution to the victims of at least five scams that used forged documents to obtain unclaimed property and cash under the guise of a purported cancer treatment center.
Legal Lingo: Upward Sentencing Departure
The Federal Sentencing Guidelines shift the focus in sentencing from the offender to the offense. The guidelines categorize offenses and identify the sentence required upon conviction. Judges are allowed to increase or decrease sentences or depart from the guidelines, but only if they have a very good explanation and clearly state the reasons on the record. Sentencing judges may consider all "relevant conduct," including the circumstances surrounding the conviction, offenses that were committed at the same time as the charged offense but were not charged, prior convictions, and acts for which the defendant was previously tried but acquitted when considering an upward departure, or increase in sentencing.
