'Mewsina Claws to Hawthorne Derby Upset
Strait of Mewsina, trailing the field heading into the turn for home, finished best of all to post a 19-1 surprise in the $250,000 Hawthorne Derby (gr. IIIT) (VIDEO) in Illinois.
"I was feeling pretty good after the fast fractions," Baird said, commenting on what many expected to be a slow early pace. "When you ride a lot of races sometimes it happens. When you look at a race like this, in a race that doesn't figure to have a lot of pace, sometimes the riders might be told keep their runners forwardly placed. It just set up nicely for us."
"That was a pretty big win for us," said Rivelli. "We bought this horse in Ireland so we obviously figured we could run him in these types of races, being a 3-year-old race this late in the year. I really think this horse wants to run about a mile and a half.
"It didn't look like we had any huge excuses," said Bill Mott of his trainee Adriano, winner of the Kent Stakes (gr. IIIT) at Delaware Park in his last start. "The horse will head off to a planned rest."

The mid-May 2014 Non-residential Construction Price Indices were released by Statistics Canada on August 12th. The thrid quarter indices for 2014 will be available mid-November 2014.
Nationally, the results for this quarter show significant improvement over the past two survey periods.The national composite index moved up more decisively this quarter from 153.3 to 154.2 or 0.6%. Expressed year over year, the national composite is up by 1.4%. Statistics Canada is reporting that this quarterly increase is attributable mainly to increases in material prices.
Across the country, all cities tracked by Statistics Canada showed improved growth results similar to the national composite. Perhaps most significantly, Halifax and Ottawa have increased significantly over the last quarter with a reported year over year increase of 1.2% and 1.3% respectively. In Toronto, the largest construction market in the country the quarterly increase of 0.7% translated into a year over year growth rate of 1.3%. The western cities of Calgary and Edmonton continue to report year over year increases above the national composite rate of 1.7% and 2.2% respectively.
It bears remembering that the indices prepared for Statistics Canada are intended only to track cost changes in a given city. The index cannot be used to compare costs between cities.
The source data used to prepare the charts in this newsletter is drawn from Statistics Canada's Capital Expenditures Price Statistics publication – catalogue 62-007-XWE. Specifically, we used the Non-residential Building Construction Price Indexes for the national composite and each surveyed city indicated on tables 7.2 through 7.9. Readers are cautioned that Statistics Canada does, on occasion, restate indices from previous quarters. Individual city and national composite indices reported in this newsletter reflect these changes. Indices restated from the previous report are highlighted for ease of reference where appropriate.
More information about this and other construction related indices published by Statistics Canada are available on line at www.statcan.gc.ca.

OXFORD - Oxford resident Tom Turner retired about 10 years ago, but that doesn't mean he just sits around at home all day.Turner, who moved to Oxford in 2000, keeps an eye on Oxford, and now he's being honored for his hard work and dedication. Oxford will hold an open house for its new maintenance facility, which Turner helped design, from 10 a.m. until noon Friday at the shop on Emory Street in conjunction with a reception in Turner's honor. The idea of a new maintenance facility started several years ago when Turner noticed a problem with the now-destroyed maintenance "shack." He said the building was in disrepair and didn't serve the needs of the city's maintenance department. "I took some pictures of it and took them to the (Oxford) City Council meetings," he said. Turner said he worked with the Oxford City Council members to get the workers into a suitable space. He spent about a year - day and night - designing plans for a new facility with no pay from the city, he said. "I always work that way - 24/7," Turner said. "When I retired, I was still a work-a-holic." After finishing the design and spending several months in negotiation with Sunbelt Builders, which was collaborating with Turner on his design and building the shop, it was finally erected in late 2006; concrete pads and other finishing touches were added in 2007. "It's something great," Turner said of the new building. "We put a lot of effort and a lot of work in it. It's better." The new facility now houses all of the city's work vehicles and provides adequate work space for employees. Before, city maintenance workers said some of their equipment and vehicles would sit out in the rain and bad weather, and the building wasn't big enough to conduct all of the work that needed to be done. Employees said they are grateful to Turner for the work he lent to the project. "He went over his volunteer duties to get this done," said Scottie Croy, assistant supervisor of the facility. "If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have this building." Oxford Mayor Jerry Roseberry said the city hasn't held an open house for the facility yet because it was trying to wait until the landscaping was complete, but the drought put a damper on those plans. He said the city decided to have an open house now, as well as a reception to honor Turner for his many volunteer hours and his continued dedication to Oxford, rather than keep waiting. "The work he did was worth many thousands of dollars," Roseberry said. "He's dedicated his time, and we appreciate that." Roseberry said at the open house, which is open to the public, residents may take tours of the facility and ask city maintenance workers questions. "This is the opportunity for citizens to meet the employees and see what they do during the day; this is a good idea to get everybody acquainted with them," Roseberry said. "(The facility) belongs to the citizens, so they ought to enjoy it." Michelle Floyd can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Jeff Teague's off-balance, one-handed three is all you need to know about Hawks (VIDEO)
Apr 24, 2014, 10:05 PM EDT
The Atlanta Hawks are up 2-1 on the Indiana Pacers and in complete and total control of this series.
We'll be writing more about Indiana's Jericho-like implosion down the line, but the other part of this series is that Atlanta is doing everything right. The Hawks have matchups that work. They have attacked relentlessly.
And Jeff Teague is hitting shots like this. Even 2006 Kobe Bryant thought that was a tough shot. Yet it was essentially the dagger in this game.
The best part of this video is Teague's shrug after the shot. Not exactly Jordanesque but it will do.
Yes, Pacers fans, he stepped out of bounds. No, under the current rules that is not reviewable outside the final two minutes. Yes, the NBA should install a challenge system and centralized review to help deal with these kinds of situations. Still, that call is not why you lost this game. The refs are not your problem, your players are.
When shots like this are falling, it feels like destiny. And a looming 1-8 upset.
- bucrightoff - Apr 24, 2014 at 10:11 PM
This is definitely one of the worst collapses ever. Credit to Atlanta for controlling most of the series, but Indiana is just too fragile emotionally right now.
- spthegr8 - Apr 24, 2014 at 10:18 PM
Teague is living in the paint. Give the Hawks credit. They are just flat out kicking Indy's A$$ right now!!
- casualcommenter - Apr 24, 2014 at 10:30 PM
The series isn't over yet, but it isn't looking good for the Pacers.
Before the season, I really liked the Hawks' offseason moves and thought they had a shot at a top-4 seed in the East if healthy.
I counted them out due to the Horford injury, but Pero Antic's three point shooting is making the Pacers' slow-footed centers very uncomfortable, and Jeff Teague is apparently unguardable unless Paul George is on him full time.
Part of this is a fully-healthy Pacers' squad collapsing, and part of it is the Hawks embracing a super-spread identity on offense that's giving the Pacers' a lot of issues.
- 1972wasalongtimeago - Apr 24, 2014 at 10:13 PM
Heat fans call that shot "Tbe Of Course". As is, of course that (opposing team 's) prayer went in.
- rhetoric1 - Apr 25, 2014 at 6:55 AM
This is the basketball Gods getting back at Indiana for calling the dwade 3 out of bounds when he wasn't.
- spthegr8 - Apr 24, 2014 at 10:15 PM
All you need to know is, he stepped out of bounds before shooting the ball. The refs botched that one. & if you we're watching the game live. The ref was right next to Teague when he shot the ball and STILL missed the call! NBA officiating leaves a SMIDGE to be desired!!
- kinggw - Apr 24, 2014 at 10:41 PM
The missed call wasn't that egregious. You can tell on the replay he was out of bounds, but watching it full speed it looked close but not obvious.
- spthegr8 - Apr 25, 2014 at 1:43 AM
^^^ Anyway you wanna spin it. He missed the call and it was a HUGE play. The ref was on top of the play. He shouldn't have missed that call!! ^^^ The same way Steph Curry just got mugged on the last shot of the Clippers/Warriors game and no call. The refs just proved me right again. The officiating is BAD! I know they won't be perfect but some of these calls aren't that hard to make!!! IJS!!!!
- sportsfan18 - Apr 25, 2014 at 1:58 PM
NO human beings in any sport (NFL, NBA or MLB) can or ever will get every call right…
Perfection does not exist. Do players make mistakes? Yes, in every game. So do coaches and YES, even refs make mistakes too…
It's called being human folks… better get used to it…
- prareedoggin - Apr 24, 2014 at 10:47 PM
I'm literally loving this collapse of the regular season champs the team built to beat Miami but never has… Chumps not Champs
- seattlesuperchronic - Apr 24, 2014 at 11:58 PM
Kevin Calabro's play by play is straight money. He's a Seattle legend for his work on Sonics games. Glad to still be able to hear him every now and again doing NBA games.
- nyctraffic - Apr 25, 2014 at 12:00 AM
Those big blue birds still have a long way to go, but Teague's speed and maturing presence give them a decent shot to steal the series.
- Purpular Ball - Apr 25, 2014 at 4:27 AM
Big blue birds? I've never heard the Hawks called that term before. Why did you say that? Just curious.
- nyctraffic - Apr 25, 2014 at 3:04 PM
Why did I say that? Because their uniforms are blue and a Hawk is a bird. Why did you think I said that?

Well not so fast Android lover, Google employees apparently got an early gift this holiday season. The Nexus employees are showing off is your everyday Galaxy Nexus with one exception, the back cover. The Battery door on the gifted Nexus's that Google employees are recieving has a custom design of Android icons making up what will most definitelybe a highly sought after item. This was shared on Google+ by Edu Pereda who is a software engineer at Google. I came across his shared pictures in my stream of the Nexus he received and immediately I became jealous and needed share with all of you. Wonder how long before we see after market covers showing up for sale featuring that design or something similar? What do you think? would you buy it? Check out Edu Pereda's Google plus page for the images here FILA eh, not no where as good as that nexus s special edition with an actual android on the back cover, this is just ugly

How to Use a Penis Pump Safely
GoodVibes.com > How To Articles > Cock Rings & Pumps
Penis pumps (or vacuum pumps) are toys which provide sensations that many people find pleasurable. Though some believe pumps will permanently increase penis size, research has shown that they offer minor effects, at most. Our pumps are intended as masturbation enhancers only, not as tools for penis enlargement or the treatment of erection difficulties.
Pumps are not medical devices. Please read this carefully; it contains information about health warnings and safe use.
How Pumps Work
Pumps can be used on the nipples, clitoris or penis. A pump creates a vacuum around the body part on which it is placed and draws blood into the area. You may feel heightened sensitivity in this body part when using the pump, and perhaps some decreased sensitivity or tingling afterwards as the body returns to its normal state and the extra blood leaves the area.
The body part will swell slightly as a result of the increased blood flow to the area. This size change is temporary; when the pump is removed, the body part will soon return to its pre-pumped state. If you are using the pump on a penis, you may find the pump-induced erection can be maintained a little longer by wearing a cock ring after the pump is removed. Remove the cock ring after 15 minutes or if use becomes uncomfortable.
How to Use Pumps
Apply thick lubricant generously around the body part you want to pump; this will act as an air seal to create a vacuum. Applying plenty of lube will also keep your skin moist and prevent it from sticking to the sides of the cylinder as you pump. (Please remember that oil or petroleum-based products are not compatible with latex and are difficult to wash out of the body; you should wash up after using these if you plan to have intercourse or use any latex products.) You may also wish to shave or trim hair around the area to aid in creating a vacuum.
Hold the cylinder against your body so that it encases the nipple, clitoris or penis. Gently squeeze the pump handle or bulb until enough suction is created to hold the cylinder against your body without the support of your hands (this may not be possible with some models). Go slowly; don't overdo it. Don't pump for more than 15 minutes at a time. If you feel any discomfort, discontinue pumping.
Pumping while the pressure is low can result in a sensation that resembles sucking. Some people find warmth during pump use -- from sunshine, a heating pad, a sauna or a hot bath -- increases comfort and the potential for engorgement. Experiment to find the most pleasurable level of pressure and sensation for you.
Have fun and pump safely!
Warning: Do not use pumps if you bleed easily or have a blood clotting disorder, are diabetic, or if you suffer from any peripheral vascular disease. Do not use pumps if you are taking anticoagulants, aspirin, or any other blood-thinning medication. In the event of discomfort or any unusual body changes with use -- including bruising, pain, bleeding or loss of sensation -- discontinue use immediately and check with a sex-positive physician. Do not place over sore, swollen or infected areas, areas without sensation, above the neck or on lactating breasts.

Walmart Canada: Lexar 32GB USB JumpDrive – Just $13 & Free Shipping!
* BUMP – back in stock at this great price ! *
Heading back to school or know someone who is? Then the Lexar 32GB USB JumpDrive is definitely sure to come in handy, especially since it's just $12.94 at Walmart right now. Even better is that you will also get absolutely free shipping on it without having to add any other filler items to your cart!
This Thursday, on September 18th 2014, Walmart will be launching their annual Anniversary Sale and right on cue, they have also recently released a flyer of upcoming deals. The event will only last a week, so I definitely recommend you either have a look at the upcoming deals or you check their site once the deals go live.
Browsing around the flyer, the Lexar 32GB USB JumpDrive definitely stood out to me because although it's supposed to be $12.94 as part of Walmart's Anniversary Sale, it looks as though this deal may have gone live sooner than expected as you can get it for this same price right now. Of course, there is a chance that it has been at this price for some time now but then again, this same USB is actually much more expensive everywhere else:
- $19.97 @ Future Shop (final clearance)
- $23.87 @ Amazon.ca
- $34.95 @ Best Buy
- $39.92 @ Staples
Admittedly, both the ones at Future Shop and Best Buy are actually purple instead of orange but given the colour makes absolutely zero different, especially when it comes to saving money, I included those anyways. Plus, all of the stores mentioned above also have minimum order requirements for free shipping that are anywhere from $20 to $45, thus making Walmart's deal that much sweeter.
As with any product, there are a couple of unhappy customers that didn't like this USB but first of all, at just $13, it's definitely a great deal for its size and second of all, there is also something to be said for the fact that this nifty little USB actually boasts over 60 reviews with a general consensus of 3.7 stars out of 5 with reviews like this one:
The Lexar USB Jumpdrive I ordered has worked great for what I needed it for.Lots of extra storage. The delivery was quick and no hassles. This was my first time ordering online with Walmart and I was really happy with the results.
No matter what you need a USB for, always remember to double and triple back anything important, especially if it's something for school or any other important document!

Teena Elijah , Published February 09 2009
Horse slaughter facilities neededI've been following two stories the past several weeks concerning horses and their care. First, the article concerning the market study for an equine slaughterhouse in North Dakota, and more recently, the article concerning horse neglect. The articles each prompted editorials and letters to the editor. I, too, am a horse enthusiast, having grown up raising, riding and training horses all of my life. It is surprising to me that neither the staff nor the public have made the connection between the two issues.
Until the recent slaughterhouse closings, selling horses to slaughter was an option horse owners, from time to time, utilized. There are times horse euthanasia is necessary. A horse may develop health or soundness issues that cause euthanasia to be a necessary and humane choice. There are times, such as this discovery of neglect, where an owner or breeder is no longer physically or financially able to care for their herd.
Consider the expense of feeding, vaccinating, farrier work, etc. There are also many people who have chosen to take a horse as a pet, or breed a mare because they want a foal, without realizing the expense and time commitments horses require. Euthanasia provided by veterinarians can be very expensive. The slaughter market has long provided a humane solution for these kinds of problems that horse owners face.
I've written in an attempt to educate and change prevailing public opinion of horse slaughterhouses. They have long been accepted by horse owners, and the void left with their closings have caused some truly heartbreaking problems.

But when looking at the owners guide for dual suspension they show that the stroke on a Giant Reign should be 2.00? Would putting a 2.25 stroke on it work?

Newspaper article Providence Journal (Providence, RI)
Real Estate | Housing Agency Requires Appraisal
Article excerpt
PROVIDENCE - Rhode Island Housing has revamped the way it acquires property through its Land Bank Program and now requires any vacant lots or undeveloped property to undergo comprehensive real- estate appraisals.
The Providence Journal obtained a copy of a one-page memo last week that was issued by Carol Ventura, director of development at Rhode Island Housing, titled "Required Property Appraisal." The document spells out in three paragraphs that it is essential for the housing agency to have all potential housing property appraised before purchasing it.
"An accurate assessment of the property's value is critical to a fair, equitable and sound underwriting process," Ventura wrote. "Given this importance, Rhode Island Housing will no longer evaluate Land Bank applications that are not supported by a current property appraisal."
She also wrote that if an applicant to sell Rhode Island Housing land does not have an appraisal done within six months prior to applying, Rhode Island Housing will commission an appraisal and charge the applicant for the review.
Ventura's memo was distributed after a series of stories in The Journal detailed vacant lots that Rhode Island Housing bought in Providence at prices as much as six times their assessed value. The agency also acknowledged that it never had a distressed lot appraised at 36 Cromwell St., in the city's West End.
On June 17, 2008, Rhode Island Housing bought the 0.32-acre lot off Elmwood Avenue for $250,000. At the time, the city had the property assessed at $121,100, records show, and last year its value had dropped to $85,300, according to the city tax assessor's office.
The previous owner, Angel L. Figueroa, had bought the lot in June 2002 for $40,000.
Ventura and Michael V. Milito, Rhode Island Housing's deputy assistant director, said they never got an appraisal for the Cromwell Street lot. Instead, they said, the value was based on another West End property they bought in 2007 at the corner of Lester and Bridgham streets for $255,000. …

VLADIVOSTOK, Day 4 & 5
Its been a while since the last time I felt like a cattle, so disembarking from a ferry was a long overdue reminder. First of all, we are no match for Russian queue masters no matter how we try, we always land at the end of the line. Second of all the rule is that line forms an hour before they open the door, and we dont have enough stamina to last that long. So at the end we were standing for more than an hour and left the boat in the middle of the field (which still was a massive surprise for us). Thats when the fun begins you have to find your junk on a pier, run with it up the stairs and join another line in front of passport control ladies. There are different kinds of lines for holders of different passport. That was easy, then it was luggage scan for bombs or something and we were out in the open.
Thats when we realised we dont want to deal with local customs ourselves its better to pay someone else to do that and use the time otherwise. French guys said that they hooked up with Yuri, local customs agent. I already had his details and using him was plan b for us. I rang him just to make sure its not too late to hire him. He said it was OK, but he was busy at the moment and told me to call later. Not very promising... I went to check with ferry office how to deal with paperwork and they told me straight away that they have special guy to deal with that. Guess who that is? Yes, its Yuri. French guys arrived soon after that, then German guy and Japanese guy I wont even try to spell their names as there is no chance to get it right.
Swietlana, Yuris assistant, came to take us to some hostel dodgy looking apartment building with bunk beds, bathroom and wifi. There was not much else to it. Seriously, that was all. At 22$ a night it wasnt bad though. Company was shit on the other hand I guess Im too old to listen to some bullshit-talk of young Americans going to Mongolia to do some sustainable village project. Bloody ego pumping wankers. I did my masters in sustainable development and realise that its Mongolians who live sustainable, not Americans. Then there was super-negative Czech chick who did her best to make our Russian leg of the trip worse. Oh, this is not caviar, its just salty water in plastic, local university is the worse in the world. Who cares? It was my first and last ever visit to any hostel. I promise.
Later that day we had nothing better to do than explore the city centre . Checking the whole city would take a weeks 700 000 people live there Ive been told, so its not small. Taking a bus was a good idea for a while - it got stuck in traffic after kilometre. So we left and continued on foot. It was interesting at the beginning seeing different country first time always is. Super-dodgy roads, nonexistent sidewalks, everything being renovated or in very bad shape. Its probably one of those things that needs to be seen to be understood. Massive traffic jam, cars going for every possible gap, pedestrians trying to filter between them. A lot of dust and exhaust fumes. Im pretty sure this whole experience gave a bit of a black lung...
This machine is cleaning the city, not sure to what result.
But there was something that helps me erase all those bad memories... its local women. I cant really understand it, but thats how it looks local men are rough to say the least. They look like they cut trees for a living. With their bare hands. Women look like they came from a different ape they are slim, pretty and they try really hard to look the best they can. Short skirt (one inch less and it would be just a belt), high heels, just enough makeup. Perfect. Even those less pretty try hard and that makes them look pretty. I imagine there must be some ugly and fat ones somewhere, but they must be hiding in burrows during daylight as I havent seen any. Swietlana told us that beauty requires suffering and its hard to disagree. Looking at them walking in high heels between piles of rubble, navigating through patches of deep gravel and jumping over underground pipe works was a mesmerising experience. I could do that for hours... When you see girl in high heels in Sydney, she usually walks like John Wayne after a bottle of whiskey. Most of the time thats what she just had. All the women here walk like a world class models. Its incredible to say the least. Im really glad I saw this at the beginning of the trip at the end it could make me want to run and rape in a broad daylight. I know I talk like a sexist, but they are so hot they make me sexist. Its not my fault.
City itself is going through massive upgrade process two huge bridges are being built, shitloads of road work projects, construction of new buildings. There is Russian style to it of course and most of it makes no sense to me. Streets are rubbish potholes the size of a small car, some streets are just dirt roads that I wouldnt feel safe to ride my bike on. But they are upgrading broadwalk along the promenade. Sure its nice to look at the mostly empty promenade from a car stuck in traffic. Two bridges are massively impressive though...
It would be a great pleasure to come back in 10-20 years to see what this city evolved into. Right now its got nice location with shit-ugly port in the middle and crap infrastructure but its clear that a river of money flows through and eventually itll be very nice.
We spend most of Wednesday on sitting in Customs office. It was nice all those high heels in short skirt uniforms ladies (seriously are they trying to save on fabric?), walking back and forth, were inspiring but thats not what we all wanted to see. By we all I mean our international group of motorised travellers Yuri was dealing with our papers so we eventually joined our forces in taking piss at each other and it was fun. National stereotypes worked well organised German nervous about inefficiency of local bureaucracy, polite Japanese constantly smiling, optimistic Aussie, slightly disorganised Frenchies and Pole who had all the documents but in wrong order. Eventually we got document that should get our bikes released tomorrow morning.
In Customs - left to right: French guy, Jepanese guy, Polish guy and Russian girl.
After two days spent here I just couldnt leave fast enough one week after departure from Sydney I was itchy to get on a bike. Guys were great, we had fun, city is interesting but right now I just want to spend some time alone in my helmet. Tomorrow, I hope...
And tiling here is poor. Most is done by Koreans and they dont have good reputation in this field.

Day 6 – Vladivostok – some forest
They open customs warehouse at 9 am. All of us were there at 8:45, ready to pay and leave. We had to pay something like 2600 RBL and it took just w while. In general I don't blame customs officers for being so slow during the whole process – they work hard, but there is massive amount of goods being imported, procedures are medieval (just one piece of paper they gave me had no less than 8 stamps!) and there is not enough staff. Happy to be on a bike we went back to the hostel to install steering dampers. I managed to do mine, but didn't have massive torx key to undo bar risers on John's bike. We need to get one to finish it. After all we left around 1pm.
Workshop at the doorstep of our hostel:
Some big wig was visiting city and there was almost no traffic. Apparently it was Medviediev, but I'm not sure. Going out of city wasn't that hard – there is one major road, although most of the roads look major to me. GPS with Open Street Map solved the problem. There was a bit of filtering through traffic, dodging cars and potholes, being careful on tram tracks.
There is one thing that struck me. Almost all of the cars have right hand steering. They also drive on the right side of the road. Police doesn't mind that. Cars are imported from Japan and mostly they are good looking, although suspension is often beaten up. So they drive like lunatics not only because they like to, but also because they see shit. It makes them parallel parking masters but adds to excitement during overtaking manoeuvres. It was super-annoying when we left the city and road became two-way traffic.
But before we left there was minor incident. While riding at around 60 km/h I felt something weird in the front. Bit of rattle, nervousness and suddenly no brakes. I stopped as quickly as I could using rear and at the last metre front locked. WTF? I looked down and saw front brake calliper hanging merrily on one bolt only. It went off the disc and eventually jammed it. It looks like during bike assembly on a ferry I forgot to tighten calliper bolts... What an idiot. On the other hand I moght be the luckiest idiot there is – if it happened at higher speed I would make very nice Superman impression. I did a bit of bush mechanics, using spare bolt from bar risers (the one I replaced with longer ones that mornig). It was too long but I used some tools as a washers and it sort of works for now. I'll have to fix it properly later.
See, I fixed it!
Road out of Vladivostok is crap. That's official. Mostly because it's being built of course, but the way they do it is simply unbelievable. All the width of the road is being done in one go, so traffic is redirected to gravel super-highway. Amount of dust and potholes beats all the world records. On top of that everyone drives like a maniac of course.
We did 260 km today, ate something in a bar along the way, saw 50 police patrols but were not stopped. At the end we just turned into the forest and camped. Mozzies nearly killed us.
Stats for the day:
Somehow frame for the map doesn't work, so here is the link - http://ridewithgps.com/trips/296992 - will try to do fix it later.
Local tiling is getting from bad to worse so far.

Day 7 - Forest - Habarovsk
Less text, justo photos for this one. Mostly because ride was a bit uninspiring. I expected little from this section and all my expectations has been met. Road got better, but still with a lot of surprises, it required a lot of attention.
We emerged from the forest:
Went through some road works:
Had some kwas straight from the barrel (kwas is something like Russian answer to Coca Cola, slightly sweet, refreshing and fizzy):
Some local car (Uaz I think):
Met my bike's little brother:
And eventually made it to Habarovsk. If I told before that chicks in Vladivostok were nice and plenty - scratch that. They've got nothing. Habarovsk is eye candy capital of the world!
And a map, which I still can't work out how to insert - http://ridewithgps.com/trips/296991

Day 8 Habarovsk Belogorsk
Remember I told you that river of money flows through Vladivostok? Now I know where it flows to its Habarovsk. We rocked into the city centre with three hours of daylight to spare. OSM maps are great it took a minute to find a hotel, five more to get there. One room, two beds, secure parking, breakfast and wifi 50$ per head hotel Amur.
City looks much better than Vladivostok located on Amur river, right across China. Little wonder there was some navy ship hanging around... A lot of new buildings, very nice main drag and was new for me in Russia quite a few nicely restored old ones. Im not sure whats their planning strategy, but so far it looked like old buildings are just being abandoned. There are lots and lots of stuff that is just left to collapse. Not in the city centre of course, but its a common view. Anyway Habarovsk is a place good to look at.
We left around ten, spotted some car mechanic and stopped to fit Jonahtons damper. It took just a while, guys were very friendly and helpful. They also gave me bolt to fix my front brake. When leaving John forgot to pack his camera he left it on the top of the bags and realised it after two kilometres. When asked guys said they didnt see anything, of course.
Well good it wasnt the wallet or something equally important, but pain in the ass none the less. I used this time to have an ice cream, kwas and to chat with group of youths. Nice people, those Russians. I really like talking with them - they are always helpful, interested in our travel and full of good wishes for the rest of the trip.
Way out of Habarovsk was great for the first time I was grinning all day long. Riding was just great road was in very good condition, scenery was simply beautiful.
First there were swamps a lot of tall grass basically with a bit of forest to it. Later we climbed a bit we went through some rolling hills, still covered with grass. By the end of the day it looked like we were chasing a rain road was a bit wet, black clouds were in front of us. It was time to put liners on. There is nothing better than exposing your hairy crack to complete strangers, by the side of the road in slight drizzle...
We caught up with the rain eventually, so we pulled into first petrol station to ask for direction to the nearest hotel of some sort. Some 20 minutes later we were in Belogorsk. Room was dodgy but we were sure it was better choice than setting tents in the rain. It was Saturday, so we expected some activity on the main square, but there was nothing more than traditional tyre burning contest on wet, with the Corollas.
