Video: Building a Brain inside a Supercomputer
Our Video Sunday feature continues with this Ted talk by Henry Markram on the Blue Brain, a supercomputing project that can model components of the mammalian brain to precise cellular detail ' and simulate their activity in 3D. Soon he'll simulate an entire rat brain in real time. A full human brain simulation may be just 10 years away.
Though the aim of Blue Brain research is mainly biomedical, it has been edging up on some deep, contentious philosophical questions about the mind ' 'Can a robot think?' and 'Can consciousness be reduced to mechanical components?' ' the consequence of which Markram is well aware: Asked by Seed Magazine what a simulation of a full brain might do, he answered, 'Everything. I mean everything' ' with a grin.http://insidehpc.com/?ak_action=api_...7673&type=feedRelated posts:

ok ive got max outs at my school tomorrow for football...im a soph and im goin for 315...a random question here, would wearin an under armour compression shirt affect the weight of my bench?
i will respond do your question with another question:
do you plan what you will be wearing to the gym the day before?
i was wonderin if it would help my bench....unlike your doin by postin that
umm as far as i can tell no. and your a sophmore and bench 315 damn. good job. how much do you weigh?
If a soph can bench 315, he has my respect, I'm only 160 and my current max is 150. Your a beast.
I don't think I will tho.
No, it will not.
thanks for the replies guys here are my specs
lil over 6'2
250 lbs
max outs for football are tomorrow and tuesday i would like to hit 315 on bench...i already got 305 last friday for light singles.... and 500 on the squat. thats iffy but i hit 475 without too much trouble
That explains it. I thought you were my specs. I wouldn't leap up to 500 from 475...try 480, if u get it, try 485....gradually increasing by 5 lbs untill you can get the rep. But make sure you warm up properly.
what is a good warmup for bench maxouts?
200x6, 250x4, 275x3, 300x2, 315x1. Maybe. If you struggle with 300x2, then try 305 - 310 for max.
barx a lot
275x1 (depending on how that feels, go for..
a) 295x1... 315x1
b)315x1... 3XXx1
135 x 8
185x 6
225 x 2
275 x 1
295x 1
305 x 1 <-- this is my personal best and this is how i did it
315x 1
The under armour isn't going to help your bench. Sorry.
Since when do people from Wayzata lift? Don't you have a butler for that?
Good luck on your max!!
maxed out on bench and hang clean tday....nailed 315 pretty smooth and i got 295 on the hang clean...it was epic
Good job. Gonna have to change your goals in yoiur signature now. A 295 hang clean is impressive!
Those are crazy maxes for only a sophomore in high school and 250. Im jealous. What's your max power clean?
A tight shirt could help you in two ways, (1) you'll appear bigger and this may in some way provide you with extra mental motivation, (2) it may in some way build up some hydrostatic pressure that'll help stablize your shoulders/chest. Realistically, a tight shirt will not significantly impact your lifts.
depending on how tight it might be a hindrance...if it in any way restricts circulation I would think (complete speculation) that it would cause less blood flow and therefore less strength...

Jones an early 6-to-1 favorite over Evans
With his win over Phil Davis at the UFC on FOX 2 event, Rashad Evans has earned himself a shot at the lightheavyweight title held by Jon Jones. The drama for this matchup has been building over the last year as for some reason or another it wasn't able to happen. Now with both fighters healthy and ready to go they will square off in April at UFC 145 in Atlanta.
Today, betting site BetOnFighting.com, opened the betting lines and champion Jon Jones opened as a huge favorite:
Jon Jones: -600
Rashad Evans: +400
For those unfamiliar with how betting on mixed martial arts, the favorite is assigned a negative number which is a multiple of how favored for a bet of $100.00. Jones is at -600 and therefore a bettor would need to bet $600.00 dollar to win $100.0.
As an underdog, Rashad Evans is assigned a positive number which is a multiple of his chances for a $100.00 bet. In this case, with Bisping at +400, the bettor would stand to win $400.00 if he/she placed a $100.00 bet on Evans.

Not sure if serious, especially with the Bisping comment. But I'll bite. Sonnen had difficulty taking down Bisping. What makes you think he could take down Jones? I'm not going to take any credit away from the Count. His TDD is great. But Jones's is outstanding. With his long legs, he can easily sprawl out anyone who tries. (See Exhibits Bader and Shogun). As for his standup, well just try to remember the last time you said "Holy shit, did you see that crazy Chael Sonnen knockout?" They're not on the same page on the feet. They're not reading the same book. Hell, they're not even in the same library.
1/31/12 3:17 AM by UGCTT_Gaspare
Only 3 people can beat Jones: Rashad, Sonnen and Bisping. Two gret wrestlers and one badass.Ill put $100 on Evans.

Rashad is great at covering distance, I think a lot of people forget that, this is not going to be a case of jones peppering Rashad from range and him not being able to answer. These odds seem pretty reasonable to be, enough to throw down some money. I think Rashad might be the first guy to put jones in troubleBut ultimately I still take jones by sub
1/31/12 2:01 AM by rossi47
They are saying that Rashad is winning under 2.5 times out of 10 fights and in my opinion he is winning more. That's it.
1/30/12 2:04 PM by Woodford Mike
I actually think Hashad is a decent bet at these odds. The guys that Jones has been blitzing recently have never had to deal with a fighter like Jones. How do you duplicate that in training? He's a very unique guy and I think that some guys get flustered (probably poor choice of words) when there in there for the first time with a guy with that kind of reach and physical advantage.Hashad is already familiar with Jones. It's not going to be a major surprise the first time he gets in the ring with him and he knows where Jones is weak. Also, there's clearly some personal animosity there. Whose to say Jones doesn't let his emotions get the better of him and make a mistake? He's still a very young guy.Now....even $ odds I'm betting on Jones - hes clearly the better fighter. All im saying is that Hashad at 400 is pretty attractive IMO.
1/30/12 1:33 PM by rockwell
Horrible odds. You'd have to be mad to bet on this fight.

Driving drunk has always been a risky proposition, but it became even riskier last week.
A new state law that took effect Friday eliminated suspected drunk drivers' right to refuse a sobriety test.

If granted, the warrant forces the suspect to provide a blood, breath or urine sample for chemical testing.

The tall, brick boiler house chimney is the most enduring icon of the former Heart Mountain Relocation Camp — and work is planned to keep it that way.
The National Park Service recently awarded a $215,911 grant to help stabilize the chimney, which is "in eminent danger of collapse," say state preservation officials.
A study funded by the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office last year found the chimney is leaning 16 inches out of plumb and eventually will topple if nothing is done. It helped heat the camp's hospital complex, which provided medical treatment for the more than 11,000 Japanese Americans who were interned at the camp during World War II.

As expected, the State Loan and Investment Board — made up of Gov. Matt Mead, Secretary of State Max Maxfield, Treasurer Joe Meyer, Auditor Cynthia Cloud and Superintendent of Public Instruction Cindy Hill — voted Thursday in Cheyenne to award $652,502 to the city of Powell to put toward a garbage transfer station.

Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Skill players.
Head coach Larry Fedora went big on JUCO transfers
last year, and he got a few instant helpers this
season with CB Reggie Hunt and massive offensive
tackles Lamar Holmes and Jason Weaver certain to be
in the rotation immediately, but mostly the Golden
Eagle class is setting up the future for the
offense. Two quarterbacks, four running backs, and
four receivers were signed with JUCO transfer Kelvin
Bolden a potential instant impact player at one
wideout spot and Markese Triplett a big 6-4 target
to build around for the future.
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Offensive line.
The offense has been hit-or-miss when the running
game wasn't working, and now George O'Leary is
taking care of the front wall to keep pounding away.
Jose Jose has more than just a terrific name, he's
one of the nation's better interior line prospects
and should see time at center. Torian Wilson, Justin
McCray, and Jordan McCray are large guards who
should grow into key cogs for the ground attack,
while 6-7, 310-pound Tony Jacob will be a key
starting tackle soon.
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Quarterbacks. New
head coach Larry Porter isn't going to start out his
era without any firepower. JUCO running back Ketarus
Stanton and running back Jerrell Rhodes and Sean
Farr from Hargrave Military Academy might be plugged
in immediately. It'll be an interesting battle for
the starting quarterback gig with four passers
brought in. Kevin Wright is the best of the bunch,
but JUCO transfer Andy Summerlin is ready right now.
He'll be in spring ball and might have the inside
track for the No. 1 spot.
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Receivers. If
nothing else, new head man Doc Holliday will have
plenty of pass catchers to use in a rotation. Last
year's Herd class was full of big, strong receivers.
This year's class is loaded with small, quick ones
led by the lightning-quick Fred Pickett. Josh Lovell
is a do-it-all tight end who could be good enough to
be better than Cody Slate with a little bit of work,
while Jazz King, Antwon Chisolm, and Demetrius Evans
are all talented enough to be given a long look for
early playing time. New quarterback Eddie Sullivan
will have plenty of practice options to play around
Carolina |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Offensive
tackles. New head coach Ruffin McNeill didn't have
any time to do anything with the recruiting class,
but he ended up getting four excellent offensive
linemen to contribute right away. JUCO transfer
Anthony Garrett will be an instant factor on the
tackle depth chart, while Drew Gentry and Taylor
Hudson were two of the team's best recruits.
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Skill players.
The offense was Joe Webb, Joe Webb, and Joe Webb
last year, and now there's an immediate infusion of
talent to try to change that with seven wide
receivers, four of them from the JUCO ranks, led by
big Darnell Williams; the team's instant No. 1
target. Five running backs, including two JUCO
transfers, were brought in, while the star should be
Greg Franklin.
Houston |
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Quarterbacks. The
miserable run defense got a big piece to the puzzle
with 285-pound JUCO transfer Matangi Tonga an almost
certain instant starter in the defensive interior,
and linebacker Sammy Brown will get a job from Day
One at one of the spots. The secondary was also
addressed with three excellent corners in Dominique
Sanders, Alton Demby, and Zach McMillen. The
highlight of the class, though, was at quarterback
where four prospects were brought in to develop in a
hurry with Case Keenum leaving next year. Terrance
Broadway came in from Baton Rouge, after getting
offers from Alabama, Nebraska, and Oregon, and could
be the most interesting of the candidates, Aaron
Johnson is a great athlete who got offers to switch
positions from several big-name schools, and David
Piland comes in from Carroll High in Southlake,
famous for Chase Daniel, among others.
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Receivers. After
putting the building blocks in place with a big
recruiting class of offensive linemen last year,
June Jones is getting the receivers to make his
style of offense fly. With Shawnbrey McNeal leaving
early for the NFL, there was a hole to fill at
running back and freshman Darryl Fields might fill
it, but the bulk of the class is at receiver with
eight prospects coming in led by Kyle Guinyard, a
potential No. 1 target who had offers from several
Big 12 schools.
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Receivers. The
Miners have needed to work on improving the defense
for the last several seasons and came up with a big
class of defenders last season. The D was hardly
ignored this year, especially on the line, but the
talent is at receiver eight very big, very
interesting prospects signed including Jordan
Leslie, Darius Tubbs, and Devin Patterson. These
three will be the key to the Miner passing game
sooner than later.
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... Linebackers. The
Green Wave has to do something about its defense,
and while there isn't any instant help from this
class, there are plenty of safety-sized athletes who
will upgrade the athleticism and the potential. Ray
Oppman will be a fixture on the inside within the
next three years, while Zach Davis could be an ideal
strong safety or a dangerous playmaker as an outside
linebacker. Jamar Thomas has the potential to be the next great Green Wave running back.
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... The defensive front.
RB Ja'Terian Douglas is the star of the class and
Thomas Roberson should be a No. 1 wide receiver
early on, but the key is the defensive front. JUCO
transfers Tyrunn Walker and Darrell Zellars will be
in the rotation right away, and Durrell Finch,
another JUCO transfer, has the speed to be a
dangerous pass rusher. With a little bit of time, DT
Alec Henry could be the best of the bunch.
Scout List
The Class Is Heavy On ... 2009. Last year's
class was the one that's going to make the
difference over the next few seasons, and there
weren't many spots to fill this year. However, it's
about quality over quantity with this class needing
DE Dylan Klare, CB Bryce Callahan, and linebackers
James Radcliffe and Cameron Nwoso likely to be key
Conference USA players sooner than later. But if the
stars bust out, there's no a lot from this class to
fall back on.

nVidia gets an "F" for Linux support
I am really *pissed* at nVidia. I do not expect them to have perfect Linux support, but they could at a minimum at least respond to and acknowledge the existence of major bugs in their Linux drivers affecting multiple users.
About 6 months ago, I discovered a bug which caused "jaggies" to appear when playing videos at fullscreen on LCD screens.
This bug did not appear in release 3123 but has affected all driver releases since 3123. The bug has been verified in a repeatable fashion by many other users
Over the past 6+ months,
-- I have repeatedly submitted bug reports to nVidia
-- I and many others have kept going a long running thread on this issue in which we have characterized the exact conditions causing the bug(
-- I have sent Andy Meechem multiple PMs asking him for some response on this issue.
Again, not only has nVidia not fixed the bug, they have not even acknowledged its existence or responded to any of the bug reports. Why does it take 6+ months to get even a simple reply such as "we know this is a problem and we are (or are not) going to be addressing it". Simple courtesy would indicate that such reports deserve at least a form letter response.
What is going on here?

Porter on Pedigrees: Saratoga Holiday
by Alan Porter
It was widely expected that Harlan's Holiday would supply the winner of the recent Holy Bull Stakes (gr. III). That expectation was duly fulfilled, but not in the way anticipated. Danger to Society, who started as favorite off an impressive win in a hot allowance race, was behind early, and failed to make headway in the straight. However, as he exited the fray, another son of Harlan's Holiday, Saratoga Sinner, struck from his stalking position to wear down Woodbine invader Bear's Rocket, and score by 3/4 length. This result reversed the form of the last meeting between Saratoga Sinner and Danger to Society, the latter having emerged on top Nov. 19 in a Churchill Downs maiden. That was the second start for Saratoga Sinner, who had finished unplaced in a Polytrack maiden at Keeneland, and who took a maiden at Gulfstream Park Jan. 7 in his only other outing prior to the Holy Bull.
Gulfstream Park also proved a happy hunting ground for Harlan's Holiday. He took the Florida Derby (gr. I) there at 3, and the Donn Handicap (gr. I) at 4, becoming the only horse to complete that particular double. Harlan's Holiday had also been a precocious, and progressive, juvenile. Bred in Ohio, he took advantage of that qualification as a 2-year-old to begin his career with wins in the state-bred Cleveland Kindergarten and Hoover Stakes following a maiden placing at Churchill Downs. For his last three starts at 2, Harlan's Holiday moved into open company, winning the Miller Genuine Draft Cradle Stakes, finishing second to Siphonic in the Lane's End Breeders' Futurity (gr. II), and then capturing the Iroquois Stakes (gr. III). The following year, after adding a 4 1/2-lengths triumph in the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) to his Florida Derby win, Harlan's Holiday started favorite for the Kentucky Derby (gr. I), but could finish no better than seventh to War Emblem, and then took fourth behind the same in the Preakness Stakes (gr. I). Following the classics, Harlan's Holiday was switched from the barn of Kenny McPeek to that of Todd Pletcher, and didn't reappear until September, when he scored a comfortable victory in the Pennsylvania Derby (gr. III). Harlan's Holiday completed his 3-year-old season with three tries against his elders. Third in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, he was a distant ninth in the Breeders' Cup Classic , and ended the year with a fourth in the Cigar Mile (all gr. I).

Food-Stamp System Failure Leads to Massive Walmart Shopping Sprees
On Saturday, two Louisiana Walmart stores had their grocery shelves cleaned out by food-stamp recipients whose benefit cards briefly had their spending limits removed. Walmart may end up footing most of the bill because it chose not to implement emergency procedures that would have stopped all purchases at $50.

My neighborhood isn't the best one out there. I remember when I was young I used to love that place. I grew up with so many of my friends that ended up being cholos or ended up in jail.
Now that I'm 17, I've come to realize that I don't see this place as "home". I definitely don't like being around there, I hate that it is infested with cholos and other bad people. But I can't do anything about it. It is what it is.
Some cool places in this neighborhood are the fast food places it has. There's a Subway a couple of houses away from my house! Taco bell and Jack-In-The-Box are near as well. There's a skating park a few blocks down my house as well. Hopefully some day I can make that neighborhood a better place to live in!(:

Traditional Crumb Crust Baked Ham
|Bone in ham/Butt end
|1 , uncooked (Whole)
|2 Tablespoon
|Medium fine dry bread crumbs
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Dry mustard
|1 Tablespoon
|Firmly packed brown sugar
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
You may have to order this uncooked ham or search it out.
Most supermarkets stock only precooked or partially cooked hams.
Soak ham in cold water to cover (optional, as most hams are not as salty today as home-salted and cured ones used to be).
Place ham on a rack in a large saucepan or preserving kettle.
Cover with cold water.
Bring to the boil.
Remove scum.
Reduce heat and simmer 2 hours.
Remove from saucepan, place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Bake at 325 degrees 20-30 minutes per pound or according to time suggested on label.
Include the simmering time as part of the whole cooking time.
Ham is cooked when a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees.
One hour before the end of the cooking time, remove the skin (it will have split by now) and trim the fat neatly.
Sprinkle the ham with brandy.
Combine the crumbs, mustard, and sugar and press onto the fat.
Continue baking.
This old-fashioned coating will form a delicious crust on the ham.
Ham prepared this way is equally good hot or cold.
Serve with Cumberland sauce or spiced red currant jelly.

|Sustainable Agriculture in a Changing Climate
Link to SACC Brief
There is growing interest at all levels in an integrated approach to small-holder agricultural development that includes climate change adaptation and mitigation. While mitigation per say has little relevance to small-holder farmers, there is considerable interest in carbon finance as an element of the new investment in small-holder agriculture that is urgently needed to address the growing food security challenge. Nowhere is the need greater than in the rain-fed agricultural lands of Sub-Saharan Africa where land degradation–compounded by climate change–is leading to declining crop and livestock productivity. Such degradation often derives from poor farming techniques that deplete soil fertility and leave the soil highly vulnerable to erosion, and progressive loss of trees due to high demands for fuelwood and other wood products.
Agroforestry and certain conservation agriculture practices that increase the carbon content of the landscape provide a real opportunity for carbon finance to deliver on climate mitigation, climate adaptation and poverty reduction goals. However, this is true only if the carbon finance helps to overcome barriers at the farmer and higher levels (and related policy constraints) that are limiting adoption of these practices.
To explore this opportunity, CARE and the Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) programme of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) have launched a long-term project in Western Kenya with funding support from the Rockefeller Foundation: Sustainable Agriculture in a Changing Climate (SACC).
The project focuses on Nyanza Province, and specifically the Nyando River catchment, where there are high levels of poverty and serious environmental degradation. It aims to explore how carbon finance can be used to enhance farm production–and thus food security–and build resilience of livelihoods and farming systems to climate change, while at the same time delivering on climate mitigation goals.

40 year old man | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking women 31-41 within 15 miles
I'm off to Dallas, to get paid to take a bubble bath. Toodles!
I'm reasonably awesome. I say reasonably because although I am actually secretly super awesome, saying "reasonably" makes me sound a bit more sensible which, I am not. I put my palms up and shrug my shoulders in that "who can say?" kind of way all the time. Especially when I do something stupid, piss someone off or, say something offensively hilarious that just hasn't gone over well. I'm starting to get wrinkles on the ends of my eyes from squinting when I smile and/or laugh which, when I see myself in a photo/mirror (which happens all the time), it makes smile more further wrinkling the ends of my eyes making for a perpetual cycle of smiling/wrinkling. I often act grumpy and bothered in public because a)it's funny b)helps break the cycle i.e; Oscar the Grouch. I hate the word (and subsequent meaning of) "vacation". I love the word "sizzle" and "jazzy". Depending on how cool the mother of my children is, I would like to name my first daughter Jazzy. I use too many commas. even when I talk. When I was little I thought I could control the wind and also thought I had built a time machine out of a toaster. The best part was my friends actually believed me. I also used to listen to Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, et al. tapes at night while my parents were sleeping. Then at school, I'd stand on a picnic table and recite all the skits/jokes for all my classmates. That made me cool. The fact the I wore matching burmuda shorts and shirts that my mother made by hand? not so much. I LOVE dogs, especially mine (whose name is Wilson and I will refer to him as such for the remainder of this profile). I spend almost the enitire day with him.(see below) We just moved out to LA from Miami because my art career brought me out here. That, and Jeff Bridges is my spirit animal and I was told he does some work out here.

ANI'S SONGS: Independent singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco will release a double album, Revelling/Reckoning, on April 10, through her own Righteous Babe Records. The project reportedly began as a triple album but was downsized to this 29-track collection, which includes acoustic songs, spoken-word pieces, instrumentals, and several tracks with a full band. DiFranco will return to the studio in May to record more new material for the missing third disc.
ALL THE COVERS: Ambitious musical movie Moulin Rouge, due out in May, is lining up an eclectic mix of musicians (and actors) for its soundtrack. In addition to the Timbaland-produced Beck cover of David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs," the collection will include the Fatboy Slim song "Because You Can Can-Can;" an Ozzy Osbourne version of "The Sound of Music;" Latin singer Valeria's cover of the 1985 DeBarge hit "Rhythm of the Night;" a Missy Elliott-produced cover of the 1975 hit "Marmalade," with Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera; and Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman teaming on a cover of the R&B tune "Come What May."
QUICK HITS: Electronica producer Si Begg, who recently signed to Novamute, will release a new album under the name S.I. Futures in the fall. Stereophonics expanded the name of their upcoming April album from J.E.E.P. to Just Enough Education to Perform to avoid offending auto maker Chrysler, which says it owns the copyright to that word. Kylie Minogue reportedly recorded a song with little-known Australian trio Gerling, which will release an album in May. Iggy Pop has completed work on a self-produced, 15-song album titled Beat 'Em Up, due later in spring.

KLR650 Lightening Project
When I first got my '08 KLR650, my plan was to just ride it. I didn't want a bike that I had to work on. I just wanted to ride. Looked at and considered both the DR and KLR. The KLR did it for me. My last bike was very expensive. I racked up 15k miles on that bike in a couple years. It had problems. Enough said! The plan was to get a new bike and just ride. I wanted simple, easy and inexpensive!
Then, I joined the KLR Forums and the standard farkles were next. SW-Motech crashbars, a Big Gun exhaust (everyone said it would fail and it did), SW-Motech pannier racks, Pelican cases, a taller windscreen, etc, etc...! I replaced everything I didn't like which included: the handlebars, mirrors, shifter, footpegs, airfilter, battery, handguards, grips, brakelines, and the turnsignals. Most of the replacement parts where purchased from Moose Racing. The bike cost me $4895 OTD and I spent another $2000 or so on it. I even had Woody's Wheel Works build me a new set of 19/17" wheels. The bike did everything I wanted. There was only one problem. It was still too heavy for real dualsport use.
At the same time that I was farkling out the KLR, I thought to myself this bike could be so much better. Kawasaki really needs to update the KLR. Here's the problem with that. The bike is built to a price point. They did a few upgrades with the 2008 model but the bottomline is the price. This bike sells and any upgrades that would raise the price significantly defeat the purpose.
We jump ahead to the new version of my KLR. What I really wanted was an offroad capable dualsport motorcycle that could do everything. I try to stay off the interstates and most of my riding is two-lane blacktop. Gravelroads, dirtroads, and light trail riding is where I want to be. The TAT is something that I'm interested to try someday. My KLR needed to be lighter with this type of riding in mind. The plan is to get it down to around 300lbs. Not sure it can be done! Everything that wasn't necessary would be removed. Lighter means faster to me. Remove weight and the bike has to be quicker and should handle better. I also found that I rarely used all the room in my Pelican cases during trips. The extra room meant I carried more than I needed and the bike was much heavier. I had experience with a rack from cycleracks.com on another bike. I have decided to make my own custom rear rack. A couple of drybags will go on it. The stock tank shrouds were useless. GONE! Same with the fairing! I found that the fairing did little to protect me from the weather anyway. Removing it was not a hard choice. Don't need the passenger pegs, so those came off too. The inner fender, steel fuel tank, steering lock, helmet lock, barends, etc, were removed. The bike went on a serious diet. The biggest reduction came when I decided to replace the stock forks, trees, front wheel and brakes. The new Kayaba 48mm inverted forks, 21" wheel, trees and brake parts are all from a 2008 'Monster Energy' Kawasaki KX450F. The KX450F USD forks were sent to MX-Tech for a rebuild. The bike uses no custom parts. Anyone could build a bike like this. An Emig Racing KX/KLR conversion steering stem was purchased and the stock KLR bearings work to adapt the KX trees onto the KLR frame. In total, I have just over $1425 in all these parts. My stock frontend parts yielded $950. I'm right at $475 for the USD fork conversion. Most of the stock parts that you don't see and all the listed farkles have been sold. I still have a few things leftover. The total cash that I've made back is right around $3000, give or take.
The bike is about half finished. There is still wiring to do and some fab work to get the '07 IMS fuel tank to fit. I'll try to keep the thread updated as I move forward with the build. I'm not in a big hurry, as I have plenty of time to ride later. Yesterday, I added a new KX front brakeline from Moose Racing and new fork protectors from Kawasaki. A new fender and assorted parts from Kawasaki should be here in a few days. New Flex fatbars, contour handguards, KX axle spacers, a KLR aluminum throttle tube and control cam from Moose Racing are on the way. Should have updated pictures next week. The new headlight will be from Trail Tech and I still need a pipe. The stock pipe may go back on for awhile, until I find something I like.
Feel free to comment on the bike, ask questions, call me crazy, say I could have bought a KTM, or whatever!
EDIT: This original post has been revised to reflect the changes that I have made to the motorcycle.

So what is the real cost on this project? The KLR is a fairly cheap starting point, then you have your original build up cost, then you parted out that build up and reclaimed some/most of that money, then started a 2nd buildup. I am also curious what the current wet weight is.

This thread makes me laugh simply because I came very close to sliding down the same slippery slope.
Despite being accused by my riding buddies of being a KTM bigot, I very seriously considered a KLR in my quest for a longer range, off-pavement focused adventure bike.
In the final analysis, however, I decided that if I purchased a KLR, I would end up doing exactly what SamM has done and I might as well have bought a KTM 640 Adventure in the firstplace. Of course, what is different in my analysis is that I had a bunch of 640 farkles left over from my previous LC4s so there were actually some favorable economics for me to stay KTM.
SamM, more power to you on your KLR quest. I understand completely even though you are violating one of the tenants of KLR ownership: spend as little money as possible.

with what you've done, starting with an older model would have drastically cut your costs.
could have saved $3000 or so by getting a 2000 or so KLR with a few miles on it for roughly $2000.

I made a determination that I wasn't going to try and make a bike do something that it is not intended to do.
What you end up with is a very expensive, unsellable project.
Hence my road bike is strictly road.
And my dirt bike is barely street legal, light, fast and not comfortable on the road. If a dirt bike is comfortable on the road, it ain't a dirt bike.

The bike actually looks pretty cool,lotso work but if you must have a KLR motor then your on your way. Of course there are a few other bikes that are closer to what you want off the showroom and would be turn key to a point.Every bike needs farkling to suit every rider.
Ive probably dumped 2K into my DR650 but luckily it has all mostly worked for what I do. If I changed out the forks I would put on the WP 50mm conventional style forks,I had some on a 98 620KTM and they really take rock hits and stutter bumps well with little or no flex.Ive also heard that Garden variety XR600 forks slide right in the stock clamps on a DR.
Projects are cool and always a learning experience even if they are flops like a few Ive tried.
I dont think there is anyway a DR or KLR could approach the handling,snap,general go power of a good running KTM/Husky 610 in the dirt,now on the street or cruising all day on average dirt roads, I like the reliability,mileage,smoothness and lack of anything going wrong or needing replacing on my DR, Just hit the button and go.

This old thread...
....was the object of both joy and scorn . But I had fun doing it, and ditched 40 pounds from a stock bike essentially without spending a dime or even radically changing its appearance.
Most of the pics have timed out, but if you suffer through it you might find some ideas for even more weight loss in varying increments.

I like the fork swap and longer rear shock! But that rack
Is it really that much more useful than the stock rack? It's gotta be heavier, and is (arguably, I suppose) much less aesthetically pleasing, to be nice about it...
I look forward to seeing what you end up with for the headlight, that will really influence the overall look of the bike. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

All good points gentlemen!
As I said, I paid $4895 for the bike new. I paid cash for the bike, so it was mine from day one. I sold farkles from another bike to put the first $2000 into the KLR. Made $3000 selling all that off along with all the stock parts that you no longer see. I have put another $2500 into it. I have $6400 in the bike. Right now, I'm waiting for the new 'Monster Energy' KX 450F black front fender and some of the Moose Racing parts that I need to finish it up.
Here's the thing. I had a KTM LC4. Sold it! Nice bike but wasn't for me. Too vibey, too complicated! The oil changes were a pain to do. Sure it was doable but why go through that? It didn't make any sense. Standard blah, blah, blah! My last bike was a KTM. Seriously, I'm all KTMed out. Been through the wringer with those. Bought the KLR as the anti-KTM bike. I WAS a KTM bigot! Great bikes, not happening. Looked at everything available and nothing jumped out at me. I KLR was CHEAP or inexpensive if you prefer. It was an easy choice. Parts are inexpensive right now. I have $250 in the fuel tank. Compare that to $600 for Touratech tanks for an X-CH for example. I looked seriously at that bike for awhile. It was over 8k and was going out of production. I guess they dropped the price and kept making them.
My WR250F could have been plated. It's a 250 why bother and had a 5-speed tranny. Any 250 that you ride on the street needs a 6-speed. Bottomline! Down the road it went. My TT-R250 which was a great bike and had the required 6-speed lacked the upper end and was out of production. I still have a shop full of spare parts that I need rid of. It was a great bike and would do almost 70mph with off-road gearing. Probably should have kept it.
I love the KTM 690. It's over 10.5k. Closer to 12k really. I already have an expensive KTM. Drop the price to 6k and I'm in.
The KLR stays. I have no plans to sell it. Could careless about the resale value. It hasn't cost me much compared to other bikes I've owned. It starts right up and is great to work on. I love to tinker and this has been fun for me. The older version did nothing for me. I liked the updated parts of the '08 model. Rarely do I buy used. If I find something else that I like better. The KLR can be used as an extra bike for family and friends. It's always nice to have a spare bike.
Almost forgot. I don't have a wet weight yet. There is still much to do. I'm hoping to get in the 300 to 340lb range. Not sure if that's possible. Still trying to drop as much as I can off it.

That's one of the reasons that I did it. I don't think I'd ever see someone just change everything they didn't like about the KLR. May people have said, "if it only had better this or that." I decided to just do it. I paid $600 for the KX inverts and sold the stock forks for $500. That started the ball rolling downhill and the slide, as some have pointed out.
The rack is very heavy-duty and weighs a good bit. You can jump on that thing and it's not going anywhere. It has a dual purpose for me. I can haul a large drybag (probably 2 of them), and it's wide enough to protect the rear of the bike in a fall. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like function over form!
The headlight will be from Trail Tech. I'm going for the X2 Eclipse Halogen unit. May add a small windscreen.

Good on you for building what you want your bike to be.
I think yours is just a more extreme example of what almost all KLR owners go through. Despite what you read on certain forums, the truth is that KLR is a fundamentally limited machine. It has all kinds of great qualities and uses, but in the end most people seem to find that it's design and performance is simply too far out of date and it doesn't perform up to reasonable expectations, especially off road. This isn't to say that it can't be ridden fast - I rode the bag off of mine - but the weight, lack of power and crappy suspension don't leave much margin for error or the unexpected. We then end up spending $$$ trying to make it better. (Ever notice how farkled the average KLR is?)
In my case, I bought a used one, and after two years and spending as much as my purchase price on upgrades I realized that I was better off cutting my losses, selling my KLR and buying a DRZ. I couldn't be happier with my choice.

A Federal style "green" home
Here's another new home built to look old. This one is located in Canton Georgia, and it is not only modeled after a historic home, but considered to be a "green home" because of its many sustainable features.
It is built from Autoclaved Aerated Concrete which is essentially light weight hole-y concrete that has high thermal efficiency and resembles a Hershey's Air Delight chocolate bar in texture. (sorry I don't have a picture)
Though constructed in 1997, this home was built to resemble a Federal style estate. The walls are thick, the ceilings are high, and the porches are deep; all in an effort to control and maintian passive heating and cooling in the humid southern climate.
This home is currently listed for sale at $525,000.00.
It has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in 4,999 square feet.
The interior is finished in a timeless, classic style with modern touches – like recessed lighting and energy efficient windows!
There are also plenty of built-ins.
The stones used in the creation of the fireplace were collected from on-site riverbeds. All the wood used in the finishing of the first floor is antique or repurposed wood.
The entire first floor is laid with thick, random width antique / repurposed woods – Ash and Walnut. The boards were planed, sanded, cut, glued, screwed, fitted and finished here on site.
– from: greehomesforsale.com
The kitchen features Venetian style plaster walls and ceilings:
In the bedrooms: more built-in bookshelves!
Though not pictured in the listing photos, this house boasts NINE walk-in closets! (Try finding that in a bona-fide old house!)
For more photos and additional information on this home, see the listing at Green Homes For Sale.

5 Responses to A Federal style "green" home
Wow, it's beautiful! I really love the river stone fireplace and the wood floors. And all the bookcases!
Nice price. Love the use of stone, both inside and out and very impressed with the sustainable use of material in 1997! But- don't like the use of two different toned woods used on the floor. I like a 'seamless' look- sorta like when I'm wearing that tight little red number- Hahaha
I always like an elegant Federal style house. While not the accepted norm for floors to be different tones, what's wrong with not being perfect? I wonder if more new homes will be built using this concrete construction concept for heating and cooling.

DIY Door Knocker Belt
After discovering lion drawer pulls at the hardware store a few weeks ago, we were immediately reminded of this vintage Moschino jacket spotted on Jane of Sea of Shoes. They were obviously too amazing to pass up and we knew we had to incorporate the mini door knockers into a DIY. Luckily, we were able to track down the same lion head drawer pulls online so now you can join in on the fun!
You'll need:
- a belt
- 4 lion drawer pulls
- 4 #8-32 x 3/8″ flat head screws
- a hole punch or leather punch
- a screwdriver
- a ruler & pen
The Treehotel, set in the forests of Harads, Sweden, offers guests a truly unique experience with one of a kind treehouse accommodations nestled high above ground. Currently open with 7 rooms, my favorite is The Mirrorcube, for its sheer beauty and ability to blend in seamlessly into the forest. Designed to exist in harmony with the pristine natural environment around them, this is the ultimate treehouse experience.

Comments about Fishman Neo-Buster Single Coil Acoustic Guitar Soundhole Pickup/Feedback Buster:
This product allows you to put electric strings on your guitar, (which is easier on your fingers & you can bend if you need to) & it does not feed back, you can spend more-but this is the first time the sound of an acoustic really comes through. I had just about given up on a pickup on an acoustic that also put the bottom end of an acoustic in the sound with out hum or feed back. It sounds the best through a PA,gonna leave my acoustic amps at home.

Always see the best in people!
Wow where to start...? Never really had to do this before since I have never done online dating. There is much to know about me. I would say although im not 30, I am very mature for my age. I know what I want and I go for it. I look at life as if everyday might be your last so make it full of fun and laughter! Keep your friends and family close and I think it's very important to show the people you care about how special and important they are. I love to make someone feel special and happy which is why I tend to go out of the way for people. Why not be a positive influence in somebody's life right...? I want to find someone out there that is caring and knows how to have fun and looks forward to spending time with someone. I think its great if you are close with your family because I am with mine. Now on to the interesting stuff! I usually like women that knows what they want and have a drive to them that helps them succeed. I find women that are shy cute but who also has confidence! If you have a good sense of humor thats a huge plus because I love to laugh and have a great time. I truley think if a person has a huge heart and is a very thoughtful person that makes her very attractive. A date would typically include us going out for dinner or if you feel up for a laugh and want to test your luck, I could possibly try and cook a great dinner. I typically have great luck but thought I would try something different and meet some new people because I do not go out all the time to bars/clubs because that just does not interest me all that much. Plus can you ever hear over all the loud music!? Ha maybe I just have a hard time because I am much taller than most women. Last but not least I have a beautiful little daughter who is amazing so a lady would have to like kids! If you have made it this far and read this I'm very impressed ha

I love all types of music although I am not a huge country fan. Like a lot of altn. rock. I love to play golf and have played since I was three. I also love to eat even though I am somewhat picky...if I feel brave I'll try something new.
I like to stay active by running and working out. I love to be outside! Love to try new things and love to be around water. Also I am a big fan of watching movies at the house or going out for dinner and a movie. I also love to be spontaneous!!

31 year old man | Plymouth, MI, USA | Seeking women 24-32 within 35 miles
Hey- recently moved back to MI and looking to meet some good people. Wanting to date or make friends in equal measure...
I ended my subscription in August of '12, but thinking I may try again this summer. I grew up in Livonia (CHS class of 02') then moved to England for three years to go to school where I studied Theatre. After College (05') I moved to New York where I lived until this past September doing baking/pastry for the last two and a half years or so. I love NYC and miss a ton of good people and good food. My place is here though and am really loving being back! I moved home to be near my family, who I am very close with. It's been a long ride to lead me here, but worth it. I work in Belleville as a high school teacher and I can't believe it has taken me so long to get into teaching. I love it more than I can say, and really feel like it takes all the best parts of me to do it right. I work with a lot of at-risk kids and then do the after school Theatre Department as well. Its a lot of work, but I'm loving it! I never thought I would, but here I am... I'm very busy with work during the school year so I'm looking to meet some new people this summer. I'm very easy going, funny and very social. More than anything I like a good story. I like hearing them, I like telling them, and I like real and fake stories in equal measure. I swear a lot, (all my students make fun of me, but have assured me that they won't snitch). I like dancing and personally think I tear it up on the dance floor- you will have to be the judge though. I don't know anything about cars, and I'm pretty bad with technology too. I am a terrible speller and I don't follow sports. I like baseball, especially watching it with my brothers, but I don't really follow it. I'm hoping to meet some new people here- I feel like I moved back to MI and EVERYONE was married! Very strange... I've been working a lot this past year and really wanting to make friends as much as I want to date.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Political interests , Religion/Spiritual
Baseball, Bowling, Dancing, Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
My favorite place in the world is New York City- I lived there from 05' to 11.' Although I am glad I am here, I miss it dearly. My travel goals over the next couple years are 1) India, 2) Spain - the camino de santiago, 3) Alaska.
I cook a lot, so consequently I eat very well. I like De La Soul , A Tribe Called Quest and I can't get enough of the Black Keys now that summer is here. I drink coffee like its my job and read at the local coffee shop almost more than I'm home.
I don't have a ton of free time, but I usually am having coffee or dinner with friends and family. I am starting a Theatre company this summer and spend most of my free time doing the reading and writing for our upcoming projects.
I read "The Hunger Games" series with my students, and "Where Do We Go From Here" by MLK earlier this year. I also end up doing a lot of back round reading for whatever show I am working on.

How to Make Wire Wrapped Head and Eye Pins
By: Rings & Things
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Learn how to make clean, wire-wrapped head and eyes pins for beaded jewelry, from Rings & Things. This is also known as a wrapped loop dangle and adds a professional look to your jewelry.
- Use chain-nose pliers to grasp the wire just above the top of the bead.
- Use your fingers to bend the wire sharply over the top of the pliers, at a 90° angle. You should have 2-3mm of straight wire between the bead and the bend (less for fine-gauge wire, more for heavy wire or more wraps).
- Use round-nose pliers to grasp a spot just above the bend, and use your fingers to smoothly bend the wire all the way around the tip of the pliers. (For different sizes of loops, bend the wire around thinner or thicker portions of the pliers' tip.)
- Now use pliers to grasp the wire firmly across the loop. Use your fingers or chain-nose pliers to carefully wrap the wire around the stem. For best control, experts recommend you break this step into a series of half wraps.
- Trim excess with flush cutters.

Loved seeing this helpful hint!! I just started making jewelry and you just showed me a more professional and "neater" way of designing with my head and eyepins rather than just cutting excess and looping!!

In Anton Schwartz's bio, a key quote explains the saxophonist's unique musical perspective: "What I require for music to really captivate me is groove and intellect working in tandem. Music that gets into your bones, into your head and into your heart."
The head and the heart – an interesting, yet apt, interplay that only a musician, and scientist of Schwartz's pedigree could possess. Much like Winter Fest 2013 artist Vijay Iyer, Schwartz seemed destined for a life in the sciences until his musical soul forced him elsewhere.
Anton's first CD, When Music Calls (1998), inspired the San Francisco Bay Guardian to report, "Anton Schwartz has everything you want to hear in a modern jazz saxophonist–an appealing, consistent tone, an abundance of ideas fueling both his compositions and his improvisations, and superb taste in musical collaborators." More recently, he even performed an entire concert of solo saxophone for the 2013 San Francisco Jazz Festival.
"It's such a fun challenge to get inside another musician's head, figure out how they understand things, and help build them a ladder that will take them to where they want to go," Schwartz relayed to Jazz Corner. "Each time I make an album, the writing and the execution get more and more fun for me, as the process of creating and realizing a vision becomes more and more fluid. It's been a heck of a journey, refining my musical craft over the years – and amazingly rewarding. To be able to help others along their journey too is doubly gratifying."
Schwartz's Winter Fest 2014 pairs well with the release of his most recent effort, Flash Mob, which came out on January 28. The album, which features such emerging jazz greats as Taylor Eigsti, Dominick Farinacci, and stalwart band member John Shifflett, has been receiving much critical praise. All About Jazz raved that, "Schwartz and his band are in full stride on this persuasive release, teeming with multicolored mosaics, vigorous soloing spots and strong compositions, radiating in a modern jazz delight that offers residual enjoyment on successive listens."
In a jazz review for About.com, Michael Verity wrote that "There's no shortage [of] energy on this record . . . Though this record definitely owes its roots to post-bop, there are a world of other influences to be found here. Future superstar Taylor Eigsti is especially strong, though everyone, Schwartz included, is blowing hard."
The Anton Schwartz Quintet performs at San Jose Jazz Winter Fest 2014 Saturday March 1 at 3pm. Additionally, Taylor Eigsti will be participating in a talk-back inside Hotel De Anza's Hedley Club at 12pm that same day. For more info on Schwartz and new album, Flash Mob, follow Anton on Twitter, like him on Facebook, or visit antonjazz.com.
San Jose Jazz's education programs are supported by Southwest Airlines.
