McGinnity, the Nashville Zoo's curator of ectotherms, initiated the project so the frozen salamander sperm can produce hellbenders genetically adapted to their local environments and fit for restocking. Browne developed the cryopreservation protocols, implemented by Nofs an MSU veterinary graduate and veterinary services director at the Nashville Zoo and her colleague Michael Kirk with captive animals from the zoo. Agnew and Carleton are testing the frozen salamander sperm to ensure the species can be resurrected, if needed.
"This process of cryopreservation is very species specific," Agnew said. "It's a lot like cooking; each species needs its own ingredients and formula. We're basically applying modified fish technologies to amphibians."
So far, the team has seen some promising results: Early tests show researchers have been successful in keeping frozen sperm alive for six months, which indicates the sperm could survive for hundreds of years in cold storage. That will allow the team to establish a collaborative gene banking program for the creature.
"Dr. Agnew and Dr. Carleton's expertise and equipment were invaluable in helping us validate and document the results of our initial cryopreservation trials with the hellbender semen," Nofs said.
As part of the project, the research team also is studying the comparative structure of hellbender sperm using electron photomicrographs, in collaboration with the MSU Center for Advanced Microscopy. This will allow scientists to learn more about the characteristics of the unique amphibian and to ensure its survival.

As of Friday, November 1, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA — A federal prosecutor launched a formal review on Thursday to determine if the death of a Georgia teenager found in a rolled-up wrestling mat in his school gym in January warrants a criminal investigation.
An official autopsy concluded that the suffocation of Kendrick Johnson, 17, was accidental, but the teen's parents have called for a further probe because they suspect foul play.
"I am convinced that sufficient basis exists for my office to conduct a formal review of the facts and investigations surrounding the death of Kendrick Johnson," said Michael Moore, the U.S. attorney for Georgia's Middle District.
Moore said his office has been gathering and reviewing evidence in the case for several months, and the FBI is cooperating with those efforts.
He said he would ask the FBI to open a civil rights or any other appropriate criminal investigation, should his review find that sufficient evidence exists to proceed.
"I do this with an open mind, neither accepting nor rejecting the opinions of anyone who has previously investigated the circumstances of Mr. Johnson's death," Moore said.
The Lowndes County Sheriff's Office closed its case after ruling Johnson's death accidental. An autopsy by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation concluded the teen suffocated at his Valdosta school after becoming trapped in an upright wrestling mat while trying to retrieve a tennis shoe, authorities said.
But Johnson's parents said a second autopsy conducted by a private pathologist they hired concluded that the death was caused by blunt force trauma. The teen's father said he believes his son was murdered before his body was placed inside the wrestling mat.
On Wednesday, a south Georgia judge ordered the release of videotape from school surveillance cameras sought by Johnson's family. Ben Crump, an attorney for the family, said authorities have provided 15 minutes of surveillance video, with more on the way.
The family also is asking a judge to order an investigation by the coroner, Crump said. They applauded Moore's announcement, which Crump called "a major development in getting to the truth."
The Lowndes County sheriff's lieutenant who investigated Johnson's death did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment on Thursday.

Editorial: Transparency setback
At first glance, a bill advancing in the Tennessee General Assembly looks fairly innocuous.
The bulk of SB0072/HB1115 is a list of not-very-exciting election law changes, but one provision stands out: removing the requirement for each county election commission to publish a sample ballot in a newspaper of general circulation at least five days before an election.
Current law also requires publication of a sample ballot five days before the start of early voting.
Presumably sample ballots would appear on election commission Internet sites.
Most of us have become accustomed to relying on the Internet to find information we are deliberately looking for. However, a Web posting buried who knows where on a government site that is rarely visited by the public is not adequate to the task of public notification.
Informing the public in a clear, concise and unfiltered way about the individuals and issues in an upcoming election is a traditional and essential part of the election process.
Engaged citizens rely on sample ballots to guide them on the way to informed decisions about leaders and policies.
Some of the provisions in bills sponsored by Sen. Bill Ketron, R-Murfreesboro, and Rep. Curry Todd, R-Collierville, seem reasonable enough -- giving election commissions more time in which to appoint election officials to work the polls and the like.
Eliminating ballot publication is a step backward in the open government process.

After President Barack Obama's executive action announcement on immigration, the political headlines have focused on how the Republican-led Congress will react on the issue. Lost in the large shadow of the immigration debate is whether the 2015 Congress will tackle other issues important to Latinos, especially minimum wage legislation. Hispanics consistently prioritize government action on […]

Origins of the Latino Political Gender Gap
With the 2014 midterm elections behind us, we are again reminded of the potential influence of Latino voters.

The 2014 election held great possibilities for those of us who study Latina politics, both because Latina/o political participation in the 2012 election proved to be a decisive factor in the electoral outcomes of several battleground states and ultimately the reelection of President Obama, but equally because Latinas were driving the increased turnout and support […]

Increased Electoral Support for Latinas
The current government shutdown is encouraging more people to reassess their level of support for members of Congress and Congress as an institution.

However, as the electoral environment […]

Synergy of Observations and Models
A synergistic approach combining observations and modeling provides an optimal strategy for answering critical questions regarding how Earth's climate system has responded to varying levels of greenhouse gases and other forcing factors. Model simulations provide a global picture of the state of the climate system and also a window into how various processes operate to maintain a given climate state. Disparities between simulated climate variables (e.g., surface temperatures, precipitation, ocean circulation) and proxy observations of these state variables pose questions regarding how much of the disparity is due to model biases or deficiencies and how much is due to observational bias. An example of data bias is related to simulated tropical and subtropical SSTs during warm Paleogene climates, which for years were high compared to proxy data. Recent recognition and correction of problems with the proxy data (see Box 4.4) have not brought models and data into greater agreement. An example of model bias is related to simulated high-latitude surface temperatures in warm climate regimes, which have been too low compared to proxy data. Here, continued improvement and development of new innovative observational techniques have strengthened the conclusion that models are challenged to simulate such high polar surface temperatures. This disparity has led to active model exploration of feedback processes that may operate in warm greenhouse climates but are not revealed by data-model studies of Earth's more recent glacial state. Thus, it is to the benefit of both observational and modeling communities to work in close collaboration through real-time data-model comparison studies. Disparities between models and observations represent synergistic research opportunities.

More aggressive conservation please
Regarding the article "City looks at water rules" from Aug. 21, I ask that those who oversee our supply of water consider the fact that all of Texas is in a stage of severe drought. All other major cities in Texas have drought plans and water restriction plans in place and have been prepared for many years.
Although prepared will not bring rain, it will mean they have plans in place and are already following those plans.
Their citizens understand the issues of water and the need to conserve. To raise water rates as a stick to conserve is not a plan.
It will give the city additional money.
If Corpus Christi desires economic growth and quality of life for its citizens, a long-term and short-term water plan along with an aggressive conservation plan is essential.
The public will buy into it.
Merely raising rates is not the single answer. San Antonio residents use 122 gallons of water per day average.
Corpus Christi residents use 234 gallons of water per day average. San Antonio has a public-friendly, aggressive conservation plan.

Regulations make for hard decisions
A week ago, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison cited an impressive growth and abundance of federal regulations, and touted the standard GOP line that this is bad policy for the U.S. economy, businesses and ultimately job-seekers. I agree that this seems like a staggering amount of regulation. But Hutchison fails to cite an example of a regulation that is bad for the people. Let me cite one story that I think is relevant. From the summer 2011 issue of Earthjustice Quarterly: "Last year — two years after a 1-billion-gallon flood of toxic coal ash from a ruptured dam in Tennessee — the EPA proposed the first-ever federal safeguards (regulations) for disposal and storage of coal ash." "This April" "legislation was introduced that would prevent the EPA from regulating coal ash as hazardous waste." So which side should we be on? I expect that Sen. Hutchison could cite examples to support her case, but her implication that regulations are bad also is BAD policy.
So what's the answer? A more efficient government? Of course, but that's a "forever" job with the Feds. Regulation only by elected officials? NO WAY! The conflicts of interest would be horrendous. The arguments often boil down to dollars vs. health (or even lives), and those are hard decisions for politicians (dollars are so much more immediately visible). Just please don't stop regulating E. coli or salmonella or mercury or DDT or radioactive waste disposal or ...

A history lesson on Confederate truth
Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson's forum on the sale of personal license plates with the Confederate flag was definitely offensive ("History is offensive to some, historic to all," Aug. 25). There is no pride and dignity when someone raises arms against the United States. That is treason. Americans pledge allegiance to their country and military recruits take an oath to defend the United States.
Patterson and his fellow Southerners now and forever will use offensive rhetoric to justify the Civil War, a war fought by the South to preserve slavery. His comparison between the Buffalo soldiers and the Confederacy was shameful. He called Robert E. Lee a great American. Lee was a traitor, and if Lee believed slavery was wrong he should have kept his oath to preserve the Union. Perhaps Patterson needs a history lesson on truth; but then again, Texas history books are slanted to the southern viewpoint.

IDEAS Chief Operating Officer John Lux Jim Carchidi
The UpTake: John Lux has worn many hats at Orlando-based digital media company IDEAS since it spun out from Disney. Now, he's working hard trying to get Florida to see the sense of film incentives.
J ohn Lux has worn many hats at Orlando-based digital media company IDEAS.
Lux helped IDEAS transition from a Disney division into an independent company in 2001, and has worked primarily as chief operating officer. He's also been president, and in the last few years, has taken on the company's social media components.
In the past year, Lux added a second full-time gig: Working with Film Florida to try to get funding for incentives in the film industry. While the effort failed this year, Lux has vowed to do it again in 2015.
For more news from the Orlando Business Journal, check out Abraham Aboraya's work.
What challenges did IDEAS face in the early days as a Disney spinoff?
When we started IDEAS, it was an interesting endeavor because on paper, legally, we were a startup, but from our experience and clients, we were a company that had been around for 10, 15 years. We were in that weird limbo area. When we would go to a bank or lender, initially they didn't know how to look at us. We went home on a Friday afternoon and resigned from one job and came back on the following Monday to the same location working for the same clients doing the same projects, except now we were an independent company.
Key business lessons?
You can't be all things to all people. Sometimes you're just not going to have a good mix with a client, and we have learned to trust our gut. If we're in a meeting with a potential client and we see red flags or it feels like a train wreck waiting to happen, that's one we might want to decline. We've walked away from some pretty significant financial projects because it just didn't feel right.
What are some of the red flags?
Clients that want us to start a project before they have the funding because us working on the project will help them get the funding. Another red flag with some potential clients: When you can say certain things over and over and if it's clear they don't hear what you're saying, you wonder are they going to hear us throughout the project?
Interesting projects?
We have three clients right now that understand no matter what you sell your brand as, if your employees aren't living that brand, it doesn't matter what you put out externally. They're taking a lot of branding exercises, and instead of going external, are going internal. We've been designing brand immersion centers — physical environments where employees can learn more about the organization, the history and about how they fit into the larger organization as a whole. It's allowing the company to have better retention and happier employees — people who feel like they have a stake in the company, so they understand why they get up every day and come to work.
What's your management style?
Professional causal. There's a time to go play pingpong and a time to buckle down because we have a deadline and a client is paying us to get the work done. I also believe that when you're standing over someone's shoulder saying, "Deadline, 5 o'clock, hurry up, get done, are you done yet?" — people don't get their best work done. My office is 15 feet from our lounge so I hear when people are playing pingpong, and it would be easy for me to think why are they playing pingpong when we have a deadline at 5 p.m. today? But the reality is that 15 minutes of pingpong may actually get them done quicker than if they're staring at the screen trying to come up with a solution.
How did you transition to becoming politically active?
If you were to ask me nine months ago about state film incentives, I would have said I care, but there are a lot of other smart people involved and they're taking care of it. Then I went to a forum last September with state Sen. Alan Hays, who stood up and said to the industry, "You have a great story, your story matters, you need to tell it. We need to hear your story." It migrated from there.
What projects did IDEAS work on that were brought to the state with incentives?
Films like Dolphin Tale, and additional dialogue recording work for Magic City and The Glades. We're the perfect example of the trickle-down effect of how the entertainment industry incentive program works

With their first round draft pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins selected QB Ryan Tannehill out of Texas A&M.
Many scrutinized the Dolphins pick. Many thought that he wasn't worthy of a top 10 pick, and his skill set was not developed enough to be an starting Quarter Back in the NFL. But through mini camps, and his first couple of practices, the coaches saw something that they saw when they drafted him.
Many training camp practices and 2 Pre-Season games later, Tannehill received the news that he had beaten out veteran Matt Moore for the Starting Job. Little did the 'Fins know, they had made an absolutely tremendous decision.
Tannehill has kept up with his first round QB counterparts Robert Griffin and Andrew Luck. Although the other two are statistically superior, Tannehill has notched a 4-4 record; a record better than RGIII's and just under the Colts' 5-3.
His 5-6 TD:INT ratio doesn't show what this kid has been able to do. If you take out his debut against Houston, it would be an excellent 5-3 ratio, and 5 of 7 games have a QB Rating above 85.0. Now that is impressive!
The college phenom has faced his tough tests, already played the vaunted Jets and Texans defense, but he has fought through the adversity and beaten great teams. He doesn't win just at home, he has shown the ability to win on the road. The Dolphins have gone on to beat the Bengals and the Jets on the road.
The best game of his very short tenure came last week in Indianapolis against a great Colts team led by none other than Andrew Luck. Even though his Miami team did not come out on top, he put 290 yards through the air and completed 22 of his 37 passes. Tannehill did have a game where he threw for over 430 YARDS, but it came in a loss where he threw two costly interceptions.
Many will argue that Ryan will not be able to keep up with his rookie counter parts. While he does need to polish up on his decision making skills just a bit, this kid has a ROCKET for an arm. Critic Russ Lande said that he has the best arm in the Draft, and Dolphins center Mike Pouncey boldly said that Tannehill was better than both RGIII and Andrew Luck.
This coming week, the rookie will take on the Tennessee Titans at Sun Life Stadium in Miami. Jake Locker, another young gun is expected to start for the Titans. Personally, I believe that when it comes to skill, Tannehill has the better set. Locker's ride has been a roller coaster in the NFL and while he does have the ability to make plays outside of the pocket, his throwing ability isn't even close to Tannehills. The Dolphins have the clear advantage at the QB position and because of this, I expect Miami to take this game and come away with a 5-4 record.
Yes, it is very early to scrutinize a QB, as he has barely put his feet in the water. But from all the signs that Ryan Tannehill has shown in his young NFL career, the Dolphins could have their QB of the future.

Will provide retailers content for online, in-store use
Clint Engel — Furniture Today, January 15, 2015 — See original article on furnituretoday.com
ROSEVILLE, Calif. — The North American Home Furnishings Assn. is launching a service that it said will allow home furnishings retailers to access supplier product data in an easy, standardized format they need to compete with e-commerce giants.
NAHFA DataLink, developed for the retailer association by RM Innovation, enables seamless streaming of manufacturers' product data to retailers, providing rich, relevant digital content they can use on their websites, e-catalogs, point-of-sale systems, in-store digital signage and more, officials said.
Product suppliers in any home furnishing category can use the system to have their product catalogs digitally standardized for free, regardless of the size or format of existing files. NAHFA said the DataLink already is loaded with hundreds of thousands of home furnishings SKUs including area rugs, accessories and several furniture catalogs.
Retailers will be able to stream their suppliers' product data for "a nominal monthly fee based upon the amount of product SKUs needed," the association said. The program is available to all retailers, but NAHFA members will receive a discount.
"Furniture retailers have forever been frustrated trying to access manufacturers' data — photos, pricing, measurements and style — in a standardized format," NAHFA said in a release. "That meant online home furnishings shoppers frequently did their research and shopping with national e-commerce giants. With NAHFA DataLink, local retailers can now supply the same photos and information shoppers are looking for, to buy locally."
NAHFA CEO Sharron Bradley called the service "a game-changer for home furnishings retailers," adding, "This will help level the playing field between brick-and-mortar retailers and e-commerce giants."
NAHFA DataLink will automatically update supplier catalog data, eliminating discontinued products and adding introductions as they become available. It's easy to use and frees retailers "to continue building their brick-and-mortar stores," Bradley said.
At the Las Vegas Market, the association's leaders plan to meet with suppliers to explain the service and encourage their participation. NAHFA said the system is secure for product suppliers, keeping vendors and their representatives in control of their content and how much of it individual retailers have access to.
Retailers, meanwhile, also can control how much of the data they choose to stream and use.
Retailers interested in learning about NAHFA DataLink can speak to NAHFA representatives during market at the Retail Resource Center, World Market Center B-1050, or call (800) 422-3778.
"We're always looking for innovative ways to support NAHFA members and the industry," Bradley said. "That's why we're so excited about NAHFA DataLink."

Beware the Curse of Shrum
12:08 PM, Sep 30, 2008 • By MATTHEW CONTINETTI
Shrum is famously 0 for 8 in the presidential elections with which he's been associated. Luckily for Obama, Shrum has stayed on the sidelines this year. The Obama machine - one of the most effective and efficient campaigns in recent memory - is run by Chicago operative David Axelrod and longtime Gephardt hand David Plouffe. This may be the year the curse of Shrum is broken.

The Comic Artist is a collaborative effort of Susan Glaspell and Norman Matson, written in the spring and fall of 1926. The play was published before a London production in 1928 and did not open in New York until April 1933; despite first-rate actors in the production at the Morosco Theatre, the play ran for only 21 performances, possibly reflecting the low appeal of serious plays for Depression-Era audiences. While some Glaspell scholars may dismiss The Comic Artist because of "difficulties of thematic attribution" as a collaborative work (Makowsky 154), other Glaspell scholars credit authorship in different ways. One theory maintains that Glaspell wrote the play with Matson—seventeen years her junior&…

text: The discussion over Disneyland's application for a liquor license seems to have become something of an issue. The continual mention of the "slippery slope" got me thinking about who is in charge of issuing liquor licenses inside the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Does the issuance of liquor licenses within the Reedy Creek Improvement District fall under the jurisdiction of the District, Orange and Oseola Counties, or the State of Florida?

Well in response to the topic, and this may be all over the place but I've had a less then pleasurable experience with my dealer and F8 not withstanding my GSA. I sorted the issue with the GSA in buying Cast wheels and sending the Spoked ones to Woody to fix so I will live with that.
The F8 on the other hand is my ongoing struggle. I too hate my throttle offroad yet that's manageable, but my biggest complaint is my engine. I've mentioned it before on here but I think I'm alone on the planet with my complaint that no one wants to help out, not even my dealer. They refuse to believe me or admit there's a problem with the F8 motor. I have a knocking sound under 3500 rpm when strain is put on the motor in any gear, especially starting off. It gets worst when the engine warms up and is annoying as Fuck! I went back to the dealer for help but was brushed off and told to put miles on it to see what happens.
From day one it had a dent in the rim, tube pinched between the tire and wheel, wiring run short so at almost full left steering lock the left fork tube would bring up in the wiring harness. I stripped the bike down to re-route the cabling and secure it. No biggie I guess, but the tire issue could have killed me if I didn't notice soon enough. Imagine having a blowout in the front tire at speed on it's madden run! Oh and I forgot to mention they didn't do a PDI on the bike and admitted to it in a reply email, so that's why it was missed. Oil level was low too so I had to add more. Yes I know how to check it and I covered that in an earlier post on here last year in some discussions with fellow Advriders! My biggest complain though is still my engine and If I could get that resolved I would be happy. I know I'm not a Master Mechanic but I'm educated enough to know there's something wrong with it cause no other F8 I have heard sounds like it or does it, Anywhere, or at least not that anyone is admitting! I am going out of my way again this summer and riding 1200kms on my GSA for another request but while I'm there I'm going to ask my dealer one last time what they will do for me again on this matter. So if I don't get the response I'm expecting after buying 3 bikes from them then I'll have to draw a line in the sand, so to speak. At least most of you have a dealer close enough to visit when issues arise but it's a major effort (PITA) for me. I remember when I was looking at BMW for the 1st time before I bought the GSA I asked a question about buying BMW when the closest dealer was so far away an inmate told me not to hesitate and not to let it stop me from buying BMW for that reason cause I'll be fine. Well, I should have went with my gut feeling, in hind sight and left well enough alone cause if I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any. To tell you the trueth I bought the F8 cause I thought it would be a better machine and sell the GSA but that backfired on me.
I like riding the F8 and how it performs but with it's issues it makes it frustrating. Yes the rims are soft and I have more dents!
So, Theres my Rant.
What would you have me do????
If you think you're free, there's no chance of escape!

You should know it is not by calling someone a dickhead that the problem started. It is because people act as dickheads that the problems start. Have you seen the cartoon by GB?
I think you should think better about it, and see what role you play in this progression. And to help a bit, you should know that the self-proclaimed righteous people are not necessarily the righteous ones, if there ever need to be a righteous one.
But I don't want to discuss these things here, we have the basement for this, and I truly recommend you take a tour of the basement. And especially I recommend you spend some time in CS&M. I think you will be a perfect fit.
Now, back to the bikes, do you have a problem with yours? What year and color? How many miles and where do you ride it, and in what kind of pavement, off pavement?

ChiTown, it's amusing to read your responses. You cite someone for being "sensitive", yet your passive-aggressive behavior indicates that you are the one who's a little too thin-skinned.
Apostolos never brought God into the conversation, but yet you felt compelled to do so in order to prove some useless point. At least in my opinion it seems you bully people to compensate for some underlying insecurities, which would explain the passive-aggressive nature of your posts in this thread. Of course it could be that you're just really, really immature.
Please come back and insult me as well, you'll help to prove my assumptions.

That visual aid was passed on to me by one of the inmates on here when dealing with another keyboard cowboy... From a moderating point of view, we've seen this all too frequently.. An inmate takes offense to something said, responds in kind, and the pissing match begins... then the post is reported, or we come across it and it's time to clean up.
Civility has always been in force on this site, even from the early days. Back then there were a handful of regulars who ribbed each other, because for the most part they knew one another. Jo Momma was added later as the site grew and acts as a release valve for letting loose, it's not quite a free for all (check out the posted rules in JM), but it's pretty close.
Now, we are processing around 100 new members every day, day in, day out, 365 days a year.. With well over 150,000 registered members, things have evolved and the rules have had to be clear and precise. This site is run by volunteers and takes a lot of our time. We have a few basic rules that apply in all the riding and equipment forums, which can be summed up as follows:
1. No pimping outside of Vendors or the Flea market.
2. No personal threats, or threats against political figures.
3. No porn! (No nips or genitalia.).
4. Be civil in your posts.
If this is too complicated to follow, there are other sandboxes out there that may be a better fit for some of you who find it difficult to be civil. If you have an issue with someone, use private messaging to discuss it. Things escalate very quickly when the dick waving happens in public.
And as we like to say in the admin lounge, high maintenance inmates get the boot. We're not here to babysit anyone one inmate. We will use our moderating tools to accomplish our goal of keeping this place a friendly place to visit, learn, share and teach.
If you have any further issues, please PM me and keep this thread rolling. I won't be adding any more to it. And when I get around to it, I will be posting the Boxers rules in P.U. in case anyone needs a refresher.
If you see a post that you find offensive or violates the posted rules, PM me, or use the Blame Maddbrit link to report it and we'll deal with it if we deem it necessary to do so.

Part of me wants to side with Chi-town on this, as he has had a host of problems with his bike and has gotten blown off by the dealers. I have been lucky by comparison, in spite of having more issues with this bike than any other of 25 or so I have owned previously, my dealer has been responsive and to date all have been repaired.
It must be like rubbing salt in the wound to Chi-town, for new riders to post how trouble free their bike is, when it is obvious that they have low mileage, or not taken the time to read some of the postings from the beginning and obviously don't use the bike in the same type of terrain. Go to the frarkle thread and it is readily apparent that a lot of riders are not using this bike in the same manner that some of us are.
I have gotten over the anger part, now I just feel bad over the missed opportunity that BMW had to build something that lived up to the hype, in order to cut cost. I know I have the option to build it into what I want, but would have preferred the basics intalled by BMW.
I believe quality control was/is an issue on the earlier bikes. You don't hear anything about immobilizers, but it took 3 or 4 tries in Europe to get that sorted. Chains were an issue in Europe and early N. American bikes. They were upgraded in 5/09 without any fanfare and customers footing the bill. Cracked tanks were an American phenom. In my case 8 mos passed before being resolved. My dealer told me to wait, while others got fitted with old stock with X% chance of failing again. Bent suspension bolts?, all I can say is that BMW engineers spec'd the original chains, so maybe they are not infallable.
I have seen criticism of customer abuse or that this bike is a street bike and not really intended for the terrain customers are using it. To the first, maybe a few have, but on the other hand I ridden some of the same terrain where bent bolts and bent rims occured and I don't think a washboarded road should be too tough to handle. If this bike is only capable of light off road travel, maybe BMW should have chosen a different advertising model, but that would not sell bikes. Some of us have been labeled whiners, well I believe some of that whining has resulted in improvement you benefit from. The bottom line is, I don't care how wonderful your bike is, I am dealing with my realities and am only concerned with fixing them.
With that off my chest, I believe resorting to inflammatory rhetoric only diminishes the message. It makes it to easy to write off the poster as some kind of crackpot not worthy of listening to, which I believe is a mistake.

All problems resolved and then some (except for seat).
(1) I have a new fuel tank (replaced cracked one)
(2) New fuel sender installed.
(3) Vacuum lines rerouted to eliminate stalling while riding in rain
(4) Front axle checked - was found to be OK.
(5) Radiator hose replaced (didn't even ask about this one)
(6) Reprogrammed ECM which solved the snatchy throttle - Feels less strong off of idle now. Which is fine, as I was concerned about being in a slight turn on gravel and having the back end come around. Throttle was like an on/off switch. It is now much more linear.
Dropped off at dealer on Monday 04/05/10 @ 05:30 PM - done on Saturday 04/10/10 @ 10:00 AM.
Total cost to me = $ 00.00 and it was repaired during some really awful wet and cold weather.

Interesting... the heading says I'm in Parallel Universe but I got here from Jo Momma.... good for me, otherwise I'd not have seen this enjoyable wordfest. Hey, it's a lazy, rainy Sunday. What else have I got to do.
Kudos to BMW for apparently having a "Close to Civilization, you can break down now" detector on the F800. I wonder where they hid it? Perhaps the same place dealers hide a lo jack?
I knew there was a reason to hate chains.
Now, regarding the topic that got this apparently at least partly kicked to Jo Momma. ChiTown posted this:
Ouch... doing any work at 1 AM sucks.
The subject then drifted over to batteries and sospelotudo said:

Enjoy the bike. Hopefully future issues are few and far between, but if something's gotta break it's good that it happens close to civilization.

This is the city's official visitor center as well as the gateway to Independence National Historical Park. Here, you'll find a fully staffed concierge-and-trip-planning desk, which provides information on the Park, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Zoo, and other attractions, as well as a reservation and ticketing service. Before you set off on a walking tour, acquaint yourself with Colonial American history by watching the Founding Fathers come to life in the 30-minute movie Independence, one of the films shown in the center's two theaters. There's also a coffee bar with sandwiches, salads, and desserts, and an excellent bookstore, where you can stock up on books, videos, brochures, prints, wall hangings, and souvenirs of historic figures and events. An atrium connects the visitor center to a renovated underground parking area. The outdoor café, Crosswalk Cafe, on the east side of the visitor center, is open May through October.
To see two of the city's famous historic homes—the Bishop White and Todd houses—you'll need to stop at the information desk to get a free, timed ticket, and reserve a spot on one of the tours, each of which takes about 30 minutes.

This is the visitors center for the Independence National Historical Park. There's nothing of interest here, but you have to come here to book tours of some historic houses and also get tickets for Independence Hall. They've been known to open a little later than the scheduled time and don't always open all the entry doors.

Nice modified gladiator style
Par Silly Me
de Mississauga
I just received these in a 10W black & am quite pleased with them & they seem very comfortable. They are definitely not my grandma's Naturalizer! Cute style, will go with anything from capris to jeans to maxi dresses. I wish the foot bed had been black also as the light tan colour will show the dirt. If I have one complaint it would be the price.,,high price for something that is NOT leather.

Cute style but....
Par DIANNA
de BC
I ordered the black in a half size bigger than I usually wear because I have had similar Naturalizer shoes in the past that required me to have a bigger size and they fit perfectly. However because they are not leather, I found that the straps were not comfortable on my feet, so I will be returning them. I am a fan of Naturalizers and will order other products in the future. This one was just not for me.

Beautiful sandal but...
Par Shellie
de Calgary
I received this sandal in black, my size 8, wide width and noticed a couple of things immediately.The bed JUST fits the width of my foot. In other wide width shoes there is a little more room. It also just fits the length, I would have been better off getting a half size bigger and would order that way if getting another sandal.This is for people who know their feet swell during the day. The upper is tight so there will be a breaking in period. It isn't leather so I don't know how much give there is but I've been wearing around when my feet are the biggest and have noticed improvement. The adjustable heel straps work well and hold securely.I would buy again in a different colour with the adjustments to sizing I mentioned as it is a sandal that can be worn with anything.

A new trailer has emerged giving us a peak into what the upcoming season of Bravo's The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills is here… and if possible, it looks actually better than season 1. The shiny botoxed facade of these women is slowly starting to creak and break like so many reairings of Titanic on TBS.
We've always secretly blamed Lisa Vanderpump for classily stirring up the sh*t between these ladies, and then when the Restylane hits the fan, she sort of takes 3 paces backwards and spins her chair back around as her friends proceed to strangle each other. Well if this trailer is any indication, the Jiggy is up, as slowly her castmates start to see her for what she really is. Meanwhile, Kim is probably still on something, Mauricio remains to be incredibly handsome, Camille has shedded her reptile skin for sprint, and Taylor's jumbotron smile is more pained than ever before.
Also? There's a new woman on the scene, Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife, who you might remember as Olmec on Legends of the Hidden Temple because she is a terrifying stone person. All in all… ENJOY.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Joel firstname.lastname@example.com It took a less than an hour for a Clayton County Superior Court judge to dismiss the case of Latoshia Gray against the City of Lovejoy, in which she contested the results of the Nov. 6, and Dec. 4 elections. Gray lost to Tommy Green and Bob Lynch in the Nov. 6 election by only one vote. She claimed several voting discrepancies took place, including several improperly registered voters being allowed to vote, and a large number of voters turned away without being offered provisional ballots. An official recount took place on Nov. 15, at the request of Gray, yielding the same results as the Nov. 6 election. The results of the Nov. 15 recount, however, were never certified, elections superintendent Avery Smith admitted on the witness stand. Gray, who didn't file a petition to contest the election until Nov. 28, said she did so because she was waiting for the certification of the Nov. 15 recount. Senior Judge Ben Miller, however, sided with the city, dismissing her suit on the basis that she filed too late. Judge Miller said the law requires Gray to file the petition within five days of the Nov. 6 election for the request to be considered. Harlan Miller, the lawyer representing Gray, said the judge's ruling ignores the Georgia Code which governs contested elections. Miller said, according to the law, a candidate could contest election results "five days after the election is certified or five days after the recount is certified." "The are specific steps that have to be taken for an election to be certified," said attorney Miller. "The judges ruling meant that she had to file an action before the recount was held ... they are simply claiming that they didn't have to certify the recount. "They admitted on the stand that they did nothing after the recount was done," attorney Miller continued. "I feel that the ruling ignored the statute that covers these kinds of lawsuits. A very serious error occurred here." City Attorney Keith Martin argued that all due diligence was taken during the Nov. 6 election, and claimed that Gray had filed her suit 15 days after it should have been submitted. "We were in constant contact with the Secretary of State and the city, but we kept on getting the run-around from City Hall," said Gray. "The results of the recount have still not been certified." Gray said "a Secretary of State investigator is looking into this," and suggested that she may take the matter to a higher court, depending on the official order of the judge. As a result of the case being dismissed, Tommy Green -- who won against Lynch in a Dec. 4 runoff -- was confirmed as Post 1 Lovejoy City Councilman-elect. Green had mixed feelings about the ruling, but was glad to have the hearing behind him. "There were some questions going into it ... but its hard to tell what could have happened," said Green. "I'm glad to be able to focus on what's ahead of me ... to begin to do what I was elected to do."

Originally written on Larry Brown Sports | Last updated 1/15/13
Dirk Nowitzki had a great moment with a Sacramento Kings security guard last week. The officials for the Mavericks-Kings game were doing a video review of a play with 36.1 seconds remaining in the game. Dirk was trying to work his way over towards the monitors to see how things were going with the review, only there was one problem: a bold security guard stood in his way. The old man shadowed Dirk wherever he went and boxed out the Dallas all-star. His "That's the best defense Sacramento has played!" the announcers agreed. "This is textbook defense!" the amused announcers said. Dirk even had sly grin on his face as he tried to outmaneuver the guard by reversing course, but it didn't work. He should have tried some sort of crossover. Dirk eventually gave up and playfully pretended to punch the guard in the stomach, and the man reacted with all the emotion of a Buckingham Palace guard. The whole thing was awesome. The review went Dallas' way, and the Mavs went on to win 117-112 in overtime.
