It has been a big year in Texas high school quarterback lore. The NFL season began in September, the state of Texas had more natives per capita under center across the league than any other comparably sized region. The top two picks in the draft, Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, were both former Texas high school quarterbacks. Another former Texas high school quarterback, Johnny Manziel, is the frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy. Three of the top four passers in the NFL, Matthew Stafford, Drew Brees and Luck, played high school ball in Texas, and guess who the frontrunners for NFL rookie of the year are. Yep, Griffin and Luck. The NFL has gotten even more Texan in recent weeks, as Nick Foles of Austin has taken over as the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, and there are indications in New York that Greg McElroy of Dallas might start for the Jets. That would make for 10 former Texas high school quarterbacks starting at that position in the NFL this week, easi...

Deadpool Movie Test Footage Leaks, Is Perfect
Ryan Reynolds has been confirmed as Deadpool, and the Deadpool movie is coming in February of 2016. Watch some test footage here...
We thought it might be nice to remind you all that footage of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool exists, just to hold you over until the Deadpool movie is finally released on February 12th, 2016.
How legit is this Deadpool movie test footage that leaked online in the middle of SDCC? It's so legit that 20th Century Fox is taking these videos down as fast as we can find them. Forgive me if the video isn't here by the time you read this.
Usually, we don't do leaked footage. It's ugly. It's low rent. The videos disappear, leaving a YouTube shaped hole in our hearts on the page. I'd like to think we're better than that.
But this Deadpool movie test footage is just too delicious to pass up. It's CG, but it's just meant to test the timing of the dialogue, the music, and give everyone an idea of how the action should play out. This is definitely the opening sequence from Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick's hilarious Deadpool draft circa 2010, and that's definitely Ryan Reynolds' voice.
[related article: The Deadpool Movie's Long, Strange Journey]
Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld has not only confirmed that this is the same test footage that 20th Century Fox showed him, but that the Deadpool you're watching is actually a Ryan Reynolds motion capture performance. That makes this that much closer to being the Deadpool movie that you may or may not ever actually get to see.
If I were you, I'd sit here and watch this clip a few more times. It might not be here when you get back.
So, you think this clip is a little violent? Perhaps a bit over the top? oof...you should read the next one hundred and something or other pages of the script!
Here's our plea to 20th Century Fox: let this Deadpool clip live. Put it out there yourselves. Fans have been desperately clamoring for this flick for years, and while we understand the reluctance to make an R-rated superhero movie (and, make no mistake, this footage comes from a screenplay that would absolutely be a hard "R"), just let the fans have a little something.

why on earth would you ever want ANOTHER matchbox campaign in your book? to me, it says: "i can't do the hard stuff, i'll just make ads that make jokes about small toys - matchbox cars are small. flashlights are bright. knives are sharp. post-its help memory. tabasco is hot. see how hard this stuff is? this is why lame creatives flock to (or create on their own) easy assignments - because they're EASY

The Seeds of Revolution, Reborn

[QUOTE=Warden;946896]:hi::hi::hi::hi::whistle:whistle:whistle[HR][/HR][B]The Seeds of Revolution, Reborn[/B]
[B]RIP Fourth Amendment[/B]
[B]By [URL="http://www.outsiderclub.com/editors/"]Adam English[/URL] 2013-08-09[/B]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]In February 1761, on the second floor of the Old State House in Boston, a former attorney for the British Colonial government that recently resigned in disgust rose to challenge the authorities.
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]James Otis, Jr. represented 63 merchants who had been subjected to the whims of British customs agents who were effectively "above the law." At issue were the writs of assistance that were used to search any property at any time, and seize anything they decided was contraband.
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]To promote molasses sales from the British West Indies, Parliament placed a prohibitively high tax on any molasses from non-British colonies. But by catering to one colony, Parliament threatened to ruin another. Colonial America had developed vibrant trade between Dutch, French, and Spanish colonies, exchanging lumber, food, and other products for molasses to make rum.
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]As historian John C. Miller notes, the tax "... threatened New England with ruin, struck a blow at the economic foundations of the Middle colonies, and at the same time opened the way for the British West Indians whom the continental colonists regarded as their worst enemies to wax rich at the expense of their fellow subjects on the mainland."
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]New England would either have to self-destruct or smuggle in contraband to avoid the tax.
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]To combat the rampant smuggling of molasses (along with other goods that circumvented a host of restrictive trade regulations), the courts issued the writs of assistance to custom agents.
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]These British agents could then enter any colonist's home with no advance notice, no probable cause, and no reason given. If an agent wanted to claim something as contraband, it could be seized without recourse. They could also assign their "above the law" status to anyone else they so chose.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]On that day, James Otis, Jr. lost his case in spite of a magnificent speech. The very court he stood in issued the writs, and there was little doubt that he stood no chance.
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]A man in the audience was so impressed by the speech that he later said, "The child independence was then and there born, every man of an immense crowded audience appeared to me to go away as I did, ready to take arms against writs of assistance."
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]That man was one of our founding fathers, John Adams and James Otis Jr.'s fiery and righteous speech became a basis for the Fourth Amendment.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]I am happy these men are not alive to see what is happening today in the nation they helped to forge...
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]They would be ashamed at how their struggles have been forgotten, their achievements corrupted.
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia][B]The King's Agents Are Back
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]An unintended and tragic consequence of America's misguided War on Drugs is to blame for new and unconstitutional seizures.
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]In a 1984 omnibus crime bill, Congress authorized local police departments to take a cut of anything they seized from anyone suspected of a crime through civil forfeiture.
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]Unlike criminal forfeiture, civil forfeiture empowers cops to seize any property or money they believe was obtained illicitly right on the spot.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia]The person does not need to be arrested, charged, or convicted for it to happen.
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=georgia][I]There is no consideration given to the Fourth Amendment.

Tobacco Products
FDA Safety Reporting Portal for Tobacco Products
When consumers or health care providers suspect a problem with a tobacco product they can now use the Department of Health and Human Services' Safety Reporting Portal (SRP).
This standardized online reporting system has been revised to allow consumers and health care professionals let FDA know when they suspect there is an unexpected health or safety issue with a specific tobacco product.
The Safety Reporting Portal
Problems with Tobacco Products? Tell FDA. Learn more about submitting problems with tobacco products to the Safety Reporting Portal.
What to Report
The FDA is interested in reports from consumers about tobacco products that:
- are damaged
- are defective
- are contaminated (such as cigarettes containing mold) or
- smell or taste wrong.
The FDA also wants to know if tobacco product users have experienced an unexpected health or safety problem they believe has been caused by use of a particular tobacco product, which could include:
- reports of fire caused by a tobacco product use
- burns or other injuries
- accidental or unintended exposure of children
- allergic reactions
- poisonings and other toxicities or
- an unusual reaction in a long-time user.
Reports may be submitted about cigarettes, tobacco used for roll-your-own cigarettes, other smoking tobacco, cigars, smokeless tobacco, electronic cigarettes, or any other product made or derived from tobacco that is intended for human use.
What FDA Does with Reports
The FDA is interested in building a comprehensive tobacco regulation program to make sure all tobacco products have an appropriate level of regulatory oversight. Reports submitted to the SRP will be reviewed, evaluated and where appropriate, issues will be addressed to ensure the protection of the public health.
The agency will not routinely contact people who submit reports to the SRP, but if a person provides contact information, the FDA may request additional information or tobacco product samples, if available.
The FDA cannot provide individual advice. If a person has an issue that requires medical attention, he or she should contact his or her health care provider.

Harold Knox appeals from an October 25, 2010 final agency decision of the Department of the Treasury, Division of Pensions and Benefits (Treasury) that required Knox to reimburse the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) for all of the retirement benefits he received from PERS between July 1, 2003 and November 14, 2006, which totaled $258,191. Treasury concluded that because Knox waited fourteen days after retirement, rather than the required thirty days, before beginning employment covered by the PERS pension system, he was obliged to forfeit all of the pension benefits he received after he retired as an assistant prosecutor in the Union County Prosecutor's Office (UCPO).
In light of Treasury's conclusion that Knox acted in good faith and made an honest mistake by returning to public employment sixteen days too soon, Treasury's insistence that Knox refund $258,191 constitutes an arbitrary and capricious agency decision. This is especially so in light of the uncontroverted evidence in the record that before Knox accepted the work in the UCPO that ultimately led to the refund demand, Knox received assurances from the UCPO that the position in question would not affect his pension; and, in relying on the assurances of his employer, Knox followed the recommendation of PERS to request advice from his employer if in doubt about his pension status. We reverse the decision issued by Treasury, and remand for reinstatement of the decision rendered by the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
Knox began his employment as an assistant prosecutor with the UCPO on September 10, 1973, at which time he enrolled in PERS. He remained employed with the UCPO for thirty-one years. On February 18, 2003, Knox filed a retirement application with PERS, in which he expressed his intention to retire effective July 1, 2003. PERS approved that application at its regular monthly meeting on May 21, 2003, and issued an approval letter notifying Knox that should he return to public employment after his retirement, he was obliged to "notify [the PERS] Office of Client Services immediately...."
On June 19, 2003, approximately two weeks before his effective retirement date, Knox negotiated a contract with the UCPO, calling for him to return to work as a "seasonal employee in the forfeiture unit" at a salary of $20,000 per year, based upon twenty hours of work per week, with no fringe benefits.
In accordance with that contract, Knox retired from the UCPO on June 30, 2003 and returned to employment with the UCPO on July 14, 2003 as a "seasonal employee." Prior to beginning work on July 14, 2003, Knox reviewed Fact Sheet #21 (Fact Sheet), a publication issued by the New Jersey Division of Pensions and Benefits. The Fact Sheet in effect at the time of Knox's retirement informed retirees of the limitations placed on retirees who choose to return to public employment. In relevant part, the Fact Sheet stated:
While the Fact Sheet did discuss issues such as the limitations on annual earnings ($15,000), waiting period before resuming employment (thirty days) and other factors relied on by respondent, the Fact Sheet qualified those limiting provisions by repeated references to non-PERS covered employment as well as advice to consult the prospective employer if in doubt about whether such a return to public employment would impact eligibility for PERS retirement benefits. The Fact Sheet stated:
As we have noted, Knox began his employment as a "seasonal employee" with the UCPO on July 14, 2003. He continued this employment arrangement through 2006 in a series of yearly contracts at an annual salary of $20,000.
On July 25, 2007, Michael R. Czyzyk, the supervisor of the external audit unit of the Division of Pensions and Benefits (Division), notified the County of Union by letter that the Division was in the process of conducting an audit to determine whether certain County of Union retirees had violated the "return to employment provisions" of
On October 24, 2007, Czyzyk notified Knox that his post-retirement employment violated the reenrollment provisions of the pension statute,
When Knox continued to challenge Treasury's refund demand, Treasury transferred the matter to the Office of Administrative Law, where the matter was assigned to ALJ Barry E. Moscowitz, who heard testimony on October 30 and December 29, 2009. ALJ Moscowitz admitted in evidence the Fact Sheet along with Knox's employment records, correspondence between the parties, and pension-related publications issued by PERS and Union County.
The exhibits also included a certification from Henry Jaeger, the Executive Assistant Prosecutor in charge of personnel matters within the UCPO, who certified that he arranged to offer Knox a non-PERS position as a seasonal employee after Knox retired, and that it was he, Jaeger, who picked the starting date. He also certified that Knox had asked him whether his return to work as a seasonal employee would have any impact on his ability to receive his PERS pension. Jaeger certified that he had answered Knox's question in the negative:
Jaeger's testimony before the ALJ was consistent with his certification. Jaeger explained that before providing assurances to Knox that his work as a seasonal employee would not impact his pension, he, Jaeger, made inquiry of the Union County Personnel Department and was assured that the position being offered to Knox would have no effect on his PERS pension. Jaeger also testified that all of the Union County personnel records reflected Knox's post-retirement employment as seasonal and that when Knox was rehired, Jaeger was present when Prosecutor Romankow told Knox that Knox would be coming back as a seasonal employee and that the new position would have no effect on his pension.
Jaeger explained that some of the seasonal employees at the UCPO had been there in that capacity for as long as seven or eight years, following their membership in PERS, and their work when they returned was not any different from the work they did prior to retirement. He asserted that in all that time, even with seasonal employees who had been working at the UCPO for five to seven years, "We never had a complaint or an objection." All had retired and then returned to the UCPO "without a problem" from Treasury. According to Jaeger, Treasury had never asserted that any of these retirees were not properly classified as seasonal.
Knox testified that he would not have begun his employment as a seasonal employee on July 14, 2003 if he realized that by starting his new position on that date, he would forfeit his previously-earned PERS pension. Knox explained that he would not have come back to work with the UCPO after his retirement had he not been assured by both Jaeger and Union County Prosecutor Theodore Romankow that his pension would be unaffected because he would not be coming back "in a PERS position." Knox explained that he was "familiar for many years with the [UCPO's] utilization of the title `seasonal,'" as he had been dealing with seasonal employees within the office. For that reason, he was not concerned by the title, and had sought to assure himself about the effect it might have on his pension.
He also explained that he reviewed Fact Sheet #21, which he had received at a seminar presented by the Division. Reviewing the Fact Sheet, he noted that it contained a provision stating that PERS enrollment is not permitted if "you are a seasonal or intermittent employee." He then turned to the Union County Employee Pension Benefit Manual, which explained that seasonal employees are "exceptions to the State's mandated enrollment policy" for PERS. According to Knox, at this point he accepted the part-time seasonal position, satisfied from everything he had been told and everything he had seen that he fit the definition of a "seasonal" employee.
When Jaeger informed him that he was scheduled to return to work on July 14, 2003, Knox questioned Jaeger about the "thirty-day period." Jaeger told him he was not subject to the requirement of the thirty-day break in service because he was not returning to a PERS position. Based upon what Jaeger told him, Knox returned to work on July 14, 2003, believing his pension was safe.
In November 2006, Prosecutor Romankow advised Knox that there had been "some problem" concerning overpayments to him and other employees. The Prosecutor informed him that his income for the years 2004, 2005 and 2006 should not have exceeded $15,000. He required Knox to refund the additional income Knox received in excess of that amount for each of those three years. At that point, Knox refunded the difference, and quit his job at the UCPO effective November 14, 2006.
It was not until almost a year later, in October 2007, that Knox received a letter from Czyzyk advising him that because he had not completed a thirty-day break in service, he violated PERS regulations and would have to return $258,191.93 in benefits received.
Asked on cross-examination whether it ever crossed his mind to question whether he was or was not a seasonal employee, Knox replied:
In further support of his testimony that he was comfortable relying upon the Prosecutor's representation as to his job title, Knox pointed to the relevant language from the Fact Sheet:
Czyzyk also testified. He explained that if Knox's position had satisfied the definition of seasonal employment contained in
Czyzyk conceded before the ALJ that there was no question that Knox would have been entitled to receive the entire pension that was paid to him between 2003 and 2006, namely, $258,191, if he had only waited another fifteen days before resuming employment at the UCPO. When asked what effect or impact Knox's non-bona fide status had on the Division of Pensions or the Department of Treasury, when compared to a bona fide retirement, Czyzyk was unable to provide an answer.
Finally, Czyzyk conceded that Fact Sheet #21 had been revised since 2003, by which time Knox had already retired, to clarify the adverse consequences of a retiree's return to employment within thirty days.
ALJ Moscowitz issued his Initial Decision on August 26, 2010. He agreed with Treasury's conclusion that Knox had not effectively retired on July 1, 2003, despite his belief to the contrary, because Knox had not terminated all PERS-covered employment for thirty days. Despite that conclusion, the ALJ also found that it would be inequitable to compel Knox to return the entire pension he received over the period of approximately three and one-half years, and that a more appropriate remedy would be to instead compel him to return the salary he received from his part-time employment during that period.
Specifically, although the ALJ concluded that Knox's part-time post-retirement employment did not satisfy the legal standard for "seasonal employment," and that Knox "had not done his due diligence and had not substantially complied with the rules and regulations of the PERS," the ALJ also found that Knox had acted in good faith throughout. He specifically found that Knox was "honest and sincere" when he testified that he was always concerned about maintaining his pension "throughout his employment and [when he described] all the efforts he undertook to comply with the PERS [requirements]." ALJ Moscowitz concluded that Knox's concern about whether his new position would affect his pension was "genuine," as Knox "ultimately relied on the advice Jaeger gave him."
The ALJ specifically rejected Treasury's contention that Knox was trying to manipulate or "game" the system in order to simultaneously benefit from retirement and public employment. The ALJ stated:
In concluding that Knox should be required only to refund the income he received between 2003 and 2006, and should not be required to refund the pension benefits he received, the ALJ reasoned:
In reaching that conclusion, ALJ Moscowitz observed that Knox was not playing the "heads-I-win-tails-you-lose game" decried in
In its October 25, 2010 decision, the PERS Board accepted the ALJ's findings of fact and conclusions of law, with two exceptions.
On appeal, Knox maintains that Treasury erred in rejecting the ALJ's Initial Decision and requiring him, "in the unusual circumstances presented, to suffer the incredibly harsh and disproportionate consequence of a full return of all pension benefits received over a period of several years based on his good faith error in accepting new public employment only shortly before the time he was eligible to do so[.]"
We start by acknowledging the longstanding and well-accepted principles of judicial review of administrative agency actions. "The scope of that review is limited."
When the agency's decision satisfies those criteria, we are obliged to afford substantial deference to the agency's expertise and superior knowledge of a particular field.
As Knox correctly argues, this court and our Supreme Court have repeatedly recognized that as a matter of sound public policy, statutes creating pensions should be liberally construed in favor of those they are intended to benefit. As long ago as 1969, the Court held that:
The Supreme Court reiterated that principle in
Moreover, the Court has held that considerations of equity and fairness must temper the application of deadlines in the administration of the pension fund. In
The Court emphasized that the retiree's reliance on the pension board decision, and the absence of "fraud or illegality" should play a role in determining whether the refund of pension benefits should be required, and that any review of pension eligibility "must be made with reasonable diligence."
Having thoroughly reviewed the record presented, we are satisfied that the agency's October 25, 2010 Final Decision cannot be sustained. Knox never sought to abuse or manipulate the pension system. He did as Fact Sheet #21 recommended by seeking his employer's advice regarding the potential effect of his new position upon his right to receive his pension. In response, he was assured not only by Jaeger, who was the Executive Assistant Prosecutor in charge of personnel decisions within the UCPO, but also by Prosecutor Romankow himself, that he was a seasonal employee, and was entitled to work in the forfeiture unit of the UCPO without waiting for thirty days until beginning his new position; and that starting the new position on July 14, 2003 would have no impact on his pension. We are also satisfied that had Knox known the ramifications, he would have waited an additional sixteen days before returning to employment.
Knox served honorably through thirty years of public service, and his honest mistake in starting a new position sixteen days too soon should not result in the catastrophic result that Treasury demands of him. This is especially so in light of Treasury's concession that had Knox waited an additional sixteen days, and thereby accomplished the required thirty-day break in service, he would have been entitled to the $258,191 in pension benefits, and Treasury would not be demanding its repayment. We also conclude that Treasury's decision to wait four years and four months before telling Knox that his retirement was not bona fide exceeded the standards of reasonableness we expect of a public agency. In light of the absence of bad faith, and Knox's legitimate reliance on the advice of the UCPO, the unwitting violation that occurred should not deprive a career public servant of his earned pension benefits. Treasury's decision to the contrary was arbitrary and capricious.
Reversed and remanded for the reinstatement of the decision of the ALJ.

What would you do about this?
I keep my horses on 40 acres at home. I go out and whistle and they run to the barn to get fed. Last night I was whistling and whistling and they weren't coming. I stood out there for what felt like forever running all these panic scenarios through my head. Eventually they did show up, thank goodness. It was pitch black so I couldn't see a thing.
If your horses didn't come what would you do?

Buster, thanks for the reply. To answer your question about the boys, we have talked to my 11 year about sex to some degree, but only answered questions he was curious about. As far as the Aneros goes, that would probably never come into a conversation with either of the boys. By the time they reach their 20's maybe prostate massage will be more commonplace, something that most of the male population will practice reguarly. Hopefully in the next few years maybe the benefits will start to be recognized and it will be considered as normal as brushing your teeth! The general male population has to get over the stigma of having something in their butts!
Hope this answered your question and thanks.

This study will provide a critical analysis of the speech of Viola from Act II, Scene 2, lines 17-28. Viola is puzzling over her meeting with Olivia. Viola had posed as a male servant to Orsino, the Duke of Illyria, and went to express the Duke's love to Olivia. However, Olivia once again spurns the Duke's love, as she had done a number of times previously. Instead, Olivia is taken by "Cesario," who is in fact Viola in the disguise of a young man. Malvolio, the steward of Olivia, returns to Viola a ring which Olivia says Viola had left, apparently as a token of the Duke's love for Olivia. But Viola has left no ring, and she is puzzled by the meaning of this returned ring. Viola, musing to herself after the exit of Malvolio, concludes that Olivia has, indeed, begun to fall in love with her (Viola) who had been in the guise of Cesario.
Twelfth Night, above all, is a comedy, a comedy of romance, so we would be well advised to approach Viola's speech as an expression of romantic comedy and not profound philosophy about human nature. At the same time, in almost every speech of any length, Shakespeare has something interesting to say about human behavior and relationships, however lightly comedic the play itself in which the speech appears. Viola's speech is no exception. The play is about deception, illusion, and especially self-deception. Shakespeare is saying that human beings generally see what they want to see and don't see what they want to see. They want to feel pleasure an

KPK: Kpop Kollective collaboratively collects and organizes information on Korean popular culture of the Hallyu era (Hallyu also refers to Korean Wave) publishes scholarly research. Through the contributions of its individual members as well as collaborative digital humanities projects, KPK seeks to provide analysis and context from a global perspective as well as resources to aid users in understanding Korean popular culture.
The 'Kpop' that forms the center of this endeavor refers to K-pop culture, hybridized Korean culture disseminated beyond Korea in the 1990s, initially in the form of music, television and film. It has also come to include other modes of culture, including language, fashion, design and food. The Internet functions as the major means of contact with globalized K-pop culture as well as the virtual space where Kpop's global audiences gather.
K-pop culture is significant because it represents a sophisticated and complex mode of Korean culture, shaped by the rapid modernization of Korea in the 1990s. It is a simultaneously globalized and Korean mode of cultural production, which incorporates elements of Korean and various Western cultures. As a globalized subculture, it has garnered a global following across ethnic, national, gender and generational lines, making it one of the most diverse subcultures and a unique study of both global and nation-specific fan cultures. At the same time, it has economic and political ramifications, for K-pop culture functions as a vehicle for soft power and profit-making for Korea.
The KPK Mission
KPK Project: KPOPIANA
KPOPIANA is an ongoing collaborative project that aggregates and curates information about Hallyu-era K-pop artists and groups. Through data structuring, publishing and dissemination, KPK collaboratively represents the musical arm of K-pop culture.
Hallyu Writing and Dialogue
KPK publishes original scholarly, informational and thought-provoking work on Korean popular culture by its members as well as from guest contributors. KPK welcomes civil discussion with everyone interested in Korean popular culture from around the world. While we encourage healthy debate, we insist on respectful dialogue.
Opportunities at KPK
Join the Kollective! KPK invites applications for various positions where you can gain valuable training and experience in writing and scholarly research.

Lynne Truss, once a self-described proud sports atheist, was sent on a lark by her editor to cover the World Cup. Her readers were amused, and Truss eventually spent four years covering major sporting events throughout Europe and America, writing humorous and somewhat academic essays. Along the way, she slowly became a convert, discovering the significance of sport, and how it affected her own life and relationships.

One-night wonder - BRP does the Serengeti great migration in 36 hours
I live in the northern part of Tanzania, where there's some of the best riding countryside in the world. Having only every ridden in Tanzania, I'm probably slightly biased, and massively ignorant. But as Cypher once said before he betrayed his friends and was fried, "Ignorance is bliss," and so is the riding around here.
Every now and then a few friends and I decide to get out of town for the weekend and make the most of living about an hour and a half away from the best African safari park in the world - the Serengeti National Park. We load up our bikes with everything we'll need for a weekend of hooning and hit the back roads until we find ourselves somewhere where others aren't. A difficult prospect in Africa, as there are almost always others everywhere, staring and pointing and talking about you and wanting to touch your bike and remind you that you're not from this part of the world.
The border of the Serengeti is a 'reserve' area, where anyone can go without paying park fees, but people aren't 'supposed' to build or own land. You're not allowed to ride motorbikes in the parks, but in the reserve area it's ok to ride and camp. Therefore, you don't see many tourists on motorbikes around the Serengeti - they mostly drive through on those raised tour buses so that they can take pictures of whatever it is the Maasai villagers do behind their walls and the locals can't try to sell them bananas through the windows. It must be a special experience. But not many people get to see the Serengeti the way it should be seen - on a Big Red Pig!
So last weekend 3 of us packed our bikes and set off for the southern reserve part of the Serengeti.
Above: Me, the BRP, my bag, and some extra fuel (BRP owners understand). Note the extra squishy custom made seat.
The first leg was to meet up with Matt and Lars in the town of Bunda, about an hour away on smooth, new Chinese roads through lazy mountains and scattered settlements. I recently upgraded from an XL250 to an XR650R, so I'd be out and past and in front of the odd bus or truck before I'd finished thinking about it.
Above: The kind of countryside that we have to put up with here.
Above: 3 serious riders, as you can tell from our serious riding gear.
Our first stop was a small, roadside town called Lamadi. Or Ramadi. It depends which sign you go by. Once again I filled up the beast with fuel of questionable quality and colour. I've gotten pretty good at judging fuel quality here by how my bike idles. We stopped for lunch at a hole-in-the-wall fast food place and had some rice with the catch of the day. Pretty sure the day had long past, but fortunately we didn't need the hole.
Above: Lamadi/Ramadi - not even the locals are sure.
Above: About $2 a meal and 60c per soda puts this place in the 'middle class hole' bracket. No one lost a tooth on the rice, which we thought deserved a tip.
Above: Anything above 200cc in Tanzania is bound to bring about stares and chatter. I'm tempted to take the '650' stickers off my bike because I can't go anywhere without "650? How long does it take you to get to X?" "About the same as a car." "I bet you could get there in Y hours" (normally Y+2). "Sure, if you want to be road pizza." "What's pizza?" It's like groundhog day whenever I go into town.
We finally left civilization *pause for irony* and took a turn off the road that bordered the south of the western side of the Serengeti. The real fun was just beginning.
Above: Cows.
Above: A small bridge over a creek.
Last year I drove out this way with my family in our 4WD Delica van. We turned off on this road just as the sun went down, heading to Kijereshi Lodge for a quick weekend getaway. We'd never driven this road before, and doing so at night in the rainy season is an adventure that people would probably pay big bucks for if they didn't have their 3 little kids in the car. We came to the bridge in the picture above, but as it had been raining a lot, nothing of the bridge could be seen. It was knee-deep in water, and the only suggestion that the road went this way was a single white post and a concentration of reeds on either side of the road. After walking through a little bit on foot, I decided to go for it in the van (remember it's completely dark now), and we wound up in that section of reeds and mud off to the left in the picture just past the bridge, rather than on the road, which was also completely submerged. After about 20 minutes of rocking the car, pushing, and praying, we got through it. Anyway, that's another story. Actually, that's pretty much the whole story.
Above: The markers of the entrance to the reserve area (but not the park itself).
Upon entering the reserve, we were almost immediately confronted by thousands of wildebeest and zebras. This is part of the great migration, but the animals only come down to this side of the park for about 3 days a year before they turn around and head back. Which means there's a very small window of opportunity for viewing the great migration on a motorbike.
Above: Stop for a quick break and to enjoy the scenery. Wherever we went we were surrounded by thousands of these. They'd hear the bikes and go hurtling off in every direction, then settle down and start grazing again, so that whenever we stopped we were fairly well surrounded.
We pulled up to Kijereshi Lodge and asked the manager if we could dump our gear and go for a ride. I think he was pretty excited to see us. There was no one at the lodge, and no one expected for another day or so. Most of the time there aren't any guests, so he just sits around chatting online. The lodge is part of an Indian family's conglomerate of hotels and lodges around this region. We thought it rude to ask him what he'd done to get posted out here.
Above: The lawn at Kijereshi Lodge.
Once our stuff was secured inside the manager's office, we took off exploring. This is the fun bit. Sometimes we follow roads and paths, and sometimes we invent them.
Inevitably on these trips, someone gets a puncture. This time it was Matt on his XR250R, but we weren't too far from Kijereshi, so we limped back and he and Lars began the long process of patching the tube. Not once. Not twice. Not those other numbers that usually follow. I think the final count was 7 patches.
Above: Matt's thorn.
Eventually Lars and I got bored, and so under the auspices of wanting to scout out a place to camp before it got dark, we went off for another ride and left Matt at the 1 or 2 patch mark.
Above: Some of the interesting flora around the Serengeti.
Above: Looking for a place to pitch a tent. Probably not here.
Above: If you look closely you can see Lars riding past.
Above: Back at the lodge, baboons.
We found Matt where we left him, probably on patch 3 or 4. Since it was almost dusk, and, as another rider in Tanzania with much more interesting ride reports put it, dusk in the tropics is just romantic jargon for five-minutes-til-dark, we abandoned hopes for pitching a tent out in the middle of nowhere and selected a nice patch of flat ground about 20 metres in front of the Lodge entrance. The manager was more than happy to have us stay. I think he would have paid us to stay if we'd asked. We showed our appreciation by buying up all their cold drinks. It was the least we could do.
Above: Dusk settles as Lars applies patch 5 or so.
Above: Serengeti sunset. Lars and Matt missed most of it while patching Matt's tube, but I managed to grab some photos.
Above: 3 and a half minutes later and it was dark. On goes patch number 7ish.
We spent the rest of the night sitting by the camp fire, which is exactly the best place to be at night on a bike safari - there's nothing like it. Matt cooked up some steaks, I brewed some Starbucks instant coffee that someone had sent to me in a package, and Lars handed around some Norwegian chocolate. The moon was so bright that you could actually read at night. At one stage I caught a whiff of something that I was going to blame on one of the other guys, but then my headlamp picked up some eyes staring at us about 40 meters away. It was a big bull buffalo, with another 5 of his mates hanging around, grazing. We could actually see their outlines thanks to the full moon. We stared at each other for a while, us eating our steaks, them their grass, then eventually they moved on. We also heard baboons screeching, which is pretty normal, but it kept going on for about 5 full minutes. One of the lodge night guards came over and said it was probably because a leopard had climbed the tree and taken a baby baboon, so of course we had to go investigate. Unfortunately (fortunately?!) we didn't see the leopard, but we could still see quite a commotion of baboons in the trees just across the creek. Eventually we all climbed in the 4-man tent (thus rated because someone somewhere was able to fold 4 tiny oompa loompa men into it), and tried to get some sleep, which for me doesn't come real easy while camping. I think I got up around 6:00am, and Matt was already awake. He'd got sick of Lars rolling onto him in the night, so he got up around 5am and was hanging out around the fire.
Above: The moon (not the sun!) at 6am.
Above: Looking well-rested and refreshed...... :/
Matt decided that he didn't want to risk another puncture, so he had a friend bring a spare tube from Bunda to Lamadi, and the 2 of us drove back in to Lamadi to pick it up, which wasn't exactly a chore, if you've ever done a 6:30am ride through the Serengeti great migration.
Above: Filling up again before heading back out.
Above: New tube secured.
Above: Lamadi.
Above: Heading back out to Kijereshi.
Above: Matt spooks some wildebeest.
Above: A jackal or something.
Above: The mountains of Bunda off in the distance.
Somewhere on the way back from Lamadi my 5 litres of extra petrol came loose and blessed a poor villager somewhere. We drove around later looking for it, sort of as a formality. I lost my glove the day before while taking pictures, and we spent a while looking for that too. Now I have one sunburnt hand. Once back at camp, we cooked up a good breakfast of chopped onions, capsicum (bell pepper), tomatoes, crumbled boiled eggs and sausage, had some more coffee (ok, so we're not exactly roughing it), and then took off again to go exploring, this time cutting more inland where there are no roads.
Above: Any bird watchers out there who know what this is?
Above: Matt and the wildebeest face off.
Above: Another one of those flowers, struggling for life in the dry Serengeti.
One of the coolest experiences ever was seeing a stampede of wildebeest and zebras. I think we scared a bunch as we came up to them and they took off, and then everyone that was behind them, realizing that all their friends were leaving, also took off, and they just kept going.
Above: Wildebeest stampede. There was a red and yellow spot on the ground. We think it was Mufasa.
Above: Stampede!!
Out on the open plains the BRP shines, unlike on the small windy tracks. There are little ant-hills everywhere that you can use as little jumps, or you can just drive around with the throttle wide open.
Above: Lars get 'big' air on his Yamaha Serow 225cc.
Above: Matt shows off the XR250's tricks.
Above: I go for the world distance record off the world's smallest jump and cream it.
After a hard morning of riding around, exploring forests and rivers, and probably crossing borders that we weren't supposed to cross (no proof), we headed back to the lodge and found that the pool had water in it (quite a surprise if you've ever travelled in Africa), and so we had a swim. It felt great.
Then we took off again for one last gear-free ride.
Above: The Bunda mountains in the distance again.
We decided to finish the trip by meeting up with our families at the Ndabaka Lodge back near Bunda for dinner and a swim for the kids. We've called many times to see if we could use the pool before, but this is the first time it's actually had transparent water in it.
After that we headed back to Bunda, where I took a nice shot of the setting African sun:
Since it was dusk when we got to Bunda, it was night time by the time we passed through to the other side. Lars had about a half hour drive to his place, and I still had about an hour. Fortunately I could follow my wife the whole way back, because driving a motorbike at night in countryside Africa requires so much concentration (and a little bit of luck) that it makes air traffic controllers look like kids playing Wii fit. I was glad to make it home in one piece, and even more glad to be back in my bed instead of next to Lars.
Above: Riding at night - this is pretty much what it looks like when you can see something.
But it was a great trip. Not exactly 'Angola; it's not like they said', but for a weekend getaway it was pretty special.

Excellent report and photos! I love getting to see a place I will likely never have the chance to ride for myself. Thanks for sharing! I love the reference to Ground Hog Day, ha ha!
I had to keep reminding myself that BRP is Big Red Pig; I live real close to the Blue Ridge Parkway...

Yes bwana!
How great to see somebody besides me blathering on about the Tanzanian bush, and how different your area is from where we've recently been... appropriate you're using a green font! Awesome place you've got there on your doorstep. Makes me very jealous.
I was going to say something here about how living where you do makes it a lot more difficult to get things, that's why you guys are riding a motley band of odd-cc'd bikes and repair tubes rather than just replace the damn things, but then somebody whips out Norwegian chocolate! Lost my sympathy just like that!
Then it returned... sharing a tent? No thanks!
Keep it coming, and thanks for the shout out!

Thanks guys! I love reading others' RRs, so figured I should give back and make one myself. I especially love the African ones, so Osadabwa's are always a fun read, and anything by metaljockey.
JM, Dandenongs must be a fun ride! I've only done it in a car and it's pretty spectacular. I grew up not far from the Adelaide Hills, and I hear that's a pretty popular spot for riding too. I think a lap around the Australian coast would be my dream ride.
I remember first driving from Iringa (southern Tanzania) to Musoma (northern), and getting struck by how green it was.
It's kind of rare up this part of the country to see even 250cc. My old XL250 used to get stares and comments "pikipiki kubwa, bwana!" ("man, big bike!") but nothing like the 650. You should see their faces when I tell them the mileage that it gets. Most riders (including expats) just use their bike for getting around town and back roads, so that's the apparent contentment for smaller bikes. I'm 6'2" and needed something taller. And faster.
