All day today I've had very heavy CM that is yellow in color, very globby and stretchy. I've never had yellow CM before so I wasn't sure what to think of it.
I don't know what CD I am on because I miscarried last week on Sunday and am not sure if the bleeding I had right after was directly related to that or was a period. I couldn't possibly be ovulating already could I?

It's on chaotic Avenida Córdoba, so you're better off choosing it if you're here in town on business or if you're looking for American-style service and nothing more. Rooms are clean, comfortable, and look like any other chain-hotel rooms in the world; for a little peace, request one facing away from the avenue. The street-level lobby café is one of the best places in the city to gawk inconspicuously at gorgeous Argentine passersby.

The Sheraton Libertador could not be better located. It is literally a one minute walk to the shopping on Florida St, five minute cab ride to Recoleta, and five minute cab to the Porto restaurants. If you are from Chicago, New York, or L.A. the street that the Sheraton is on, Cordoba, will not seem that busy to you, as written in the Fodor review. Request a high floor and you will get a partial river view along with a good view of the city. Personally,
i think that their classic room is above average in size. Very cozy, with nice browns and great pillows. Food in the hotel was very good and consistent. The service was beyond what i anticapated for South America, and alomost all front desk employees spoke English and at least one other language, if not two. Overall, a great experience at this hotel.

Winter honeysuckle, Lonicera fragrantissima, is one of the few honeysuckle plants that can grow in areas that are generally considered to be desert climates, such as Texas. The winter honeysuckle is native to China, and has been since introduced to European and American gardens. The blooms of a winter honeysuckle are extremely fragrant and smell of lemon.
The flowers of the winter honeysuckle are small and creamy white. They appear during midwinter and, although not outstanding in appearance, are highly fragrant. The foliage of the winter honeysuckle is bluish green in appearance. In all but the warmer climates of its range, the winter honeysuckle is deciduous. Generally evergreen in warmer areas, the winter honeysuckle has blooms that appear in late winter, making it one of the earliest flowering honeysuckles.
The winter honeysuckle can reach a maximum height of about ten feet. The winter honeysuckle has red fruit in spring that will often follow the winter flowers. Landscape uses of the winter honeysuckle include specimens, background plantings, or hedges. Very cold and drought tolerant, the winter honeysuckle is propagated best by using seeds or cuttings.
The winter honeysuckle is hardy to zones four through nine, and grows in a rounded form. The flowers will fade to yellow as the blooming season continues into the summer. The fast growing winter honeysuckle will grow best in full sun, but will also tolerate a partial shade location. The winter honeysuckle is a perfect addition to any home garden or landscape.

WASHINGTON -- The curious case of a soldier/writer who penned dubious dispatches from Iraq about morally corrupt American soldiers continues apace.
Amid some light this week is much shadow.
Following two weeks of investigation, re-reporting and fact checking, it appears that the writer in question has not been precisely honest.
To briefly recap: Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp was writing stories for The New Republic (TNR) under the pseudonym, Scott Thomas -- allegedly relating insider stories from the front lines. Some of Thomas' stories, appearing in TNR didn't ring true to close readers, some of whom had been in Iraq at the times and places where Beauchamp's tales supposedly took place.
When The Weekly Standard (WS) began questioning the reports, a battle of credibility ensued. TNR editors defended their writer, who under pressure made his identity public, while WS and various bloggers continued to insist on corroborating evidence. The Army, meanwhile, began its own investigation.
Among Beauchamp's reports were stories he either witnessed or participated in about ridiculing a woman -- either a soldier or contractor -- whose face had been disfigured by an IED; how one soldier enjoyed using his Bradley Fighting Vehicle to mow down dogs; and how another soldier wore as a cap a child's skull fragment that reportedly was lifted from a mass grave.
Red flags went up immediately among people who know something about mass graves, Bradleys and military order.
Days after TNR editors posted a statement on their Web site claiming that Beauchamp's stories had mostly checked out, the WS reported that a military source close to the Army investigation said that Beauchamp signed a sworn statement that he fabricated or exaggerated his stories.
The incident involving the disfigured woman, for example, took place (maybe) in Kuwait before Beauchamp's tour of duty began in Iraq -- not in a mess hall in Iraq as originally reported -- according to TNR's own editors.
Separately, Maj. Steven F. Lamb, deputy Public Affairs Officer for Multi-National Division-Baghdad, told the WS' Michael Goldfarb, who has been leading the charge against Beauchamp, that the private's allegations "were found to be false."
So, we have two reputable magazines telling two different, compelling stories. We also have a writer who wrote on his personal blog that he wanted to go to this "misguided" war "just to write a book." And we have an Army investigation in the midst of, not incidentally, a war. Fog, it seems, is everywhere.

Microsoft has been and continues to be fully committed to opening its document formats for Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Interoperability is not new to Office, and Open XML is part of a much broader strategy around interoperability for Office. When we look at the past three years of document format related investments, you'll see this shining through; we've done quite a lot. Different circumstances led to each of these activities, but as a collection of work, the intent is unmistakable, and despite claims to the contrary, we're highly motivated to ensure that we can participate in an open environment. These are all steps toward openness, which is good for us, good for our customers and good for the industry.
Brian Jones has covered the history of the formats and XML support for Office in a prior post, there is a significant amount of ground covered in his post.
Let's take a look at what has happened:
So, no matter how you look at it, or which nits you'd want to pick (correct or not), this is a long list of advancements that really illustrate how much we have moved forward on openness and interoperability with respect to document formats in the Office products. Hopefully I don't have to write a grand conclusion, the data here should speak for itself. Let's just say that the commitment to openness here is evident and unquestionable.
PingBack from http://claim-blog.freedombloghost.info/?p=9256
Brian Jones has a post this afternoon on the concept of harmonization of document formats, and in particular
What is the motivation to be open?
It can't be customer demands, as ODF is obviously incapable of competing and there are no suitable alternatives to the MS Office suite.
I'm sure customers ask. Every airline passenger wants a wider seat and more leg-room, but as long as competitive economics is in play, the airlines can ignore that and similar demands from their customers.
By-the-by. How can MS posit that ODF cannot represent MS documents well and then tout that the (MS->ODF) converter to this poor format is not downloaded as often as a tool that allows users to avoid an expensive upgrade?
Wouldn't most ODF users already use an ODF compatible product that could -import- MS Office files?
Maybe it's the caffeine.
Microsoft has been and continues to be fully committed to opening its document formats for Word, Excel
Hi Dave,
I would recommend visiting this site:
and http://www.microsoft.com/oba
These should outline our broader set of activities around interoperability, and will hopefully illustrate why interoperability is important to our business.
ODF and Open XML are unique in the sense that people have latched onto this particular part of the discussion. We don't have a lot of discussions about the use of XML Schema, XPath or other XML standards with InfoPath. We don't see a lot of dicussion on the Web Services support offered in many of our products... we see only the discussion about document formats. Our activities span a much broader set of needs.
Regarding the use of ODF in "ODF compatible" product, I would regard Microsoft Office as one of those. And if we view ODF as a product-neutral format, we'll view every product that supports it as a candidate for use. I can't speak for the adoption of other products, all I can see is what I know of Microsoft Office.
And.. being a product person (not a standards person), I'm really after finding out what features / functionality motivate people to use our software. If ODF becomes one of those things, then we will see the numbers for ODF usage accelerate. Right now that isn't really a top priority based on what the numbers would indicate. Please understand that this is not a criticism of the format, just me keeping an eye on what users are doing.
The reason for the format frenzy is mostly that MS has latched onto it. A few of your customers tried to explore alternatives and the swift, negative response from MS has attracted all the attention.
Were there competition I'm sure things would be better, but there is no way to compete with a company that is willing and able to buy its way in, rather than compete, using a $44,000,000,000 offer.
Microsoft Office is as compatible with ODF as wordpad is. I'll bet one can read an ODF file into wordpad and write it out again and it will appear completely the same to the originating application. The same is not likely for Office.
Of the above investments, I'm not sure which you are referring to as "swift and negative," (also worth noting that our response to ODF included "Approve" votes from Microsoft representatives in US standards committees like ANSI.)
I've intentionally not blogged about the Yahoo! deal, I don't plan to start now. I don't see any meaningful correlation between supporting ODF and the Yahoo! offer.
And the great thing about the translator is, you can test it for yourself to see, anyone is welcome to address what they would see as a defect in conversion. We sponsored the project in a public forum for this reason... you can see for yourself how it is done and offer feedback based on data to improve the tool. Commenting to me about it will do little good, especially without any specific conversion issues that you are facing.
If you want a second opinion on the nature of cross-application interoperability, look here: http://www.robweir.com/blog/2007/02/anatomy-of-interoperability.html
(start with point 5 in the seciont "the forces that help counteract these problems are:")
I think this should round out your point of view on the ODF implementation community with respect to this point.
Massachusetts, Houston, Florida, and Peru come immediately to mind as having encountered swift and negative responses to changes away from MS products.
www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2003-01-21-simdesk-cover_x.htm for example.
How is SimDesk today? Looks like they are out of the office productivity market and off to collaboration. Is Houston back to the Office suite? In 2003 SimDesk offered a significant alternative, but in 2008 there is no hint of word processing or spreadsheets at SimDesk.
Reading clearly, you would see I wrote that it was Microsoft's continuing focus on ODF that is at the heart of the conflict over it.
If there is a benefit to users of MSO-XML that offsets the cost to convert billions of documents to a format that is intended to duplicate "faithfully" some facets of the old, in a quantifiable way, then have at it. Let the marketplace look at features without having to wipe off mud to see what lies beneath.
Continuing to complain about how unfair the ODF camp is to a vulnerable Microsoft hurts the MSO-XML position.
Also, reading carefully, I did not write there was a correlation between supporting ODF and the Yahoo! deal. What I wrote was that a company that could offer $44,000,000,000 to work its way into a market they could not otherwise compete in, is not one that could be competed against.
To head off further misunderstanding, this applies to those companies trying to compete where MS is already established, and often in those areas where MS has set its plan to spend whatever it takes to suffocate existing players.

Xseed have shared a new trailer for Rune Factory 4—or rather, a tutorial of sorts. It highlights cooking, forging and crafting, all of which are back in full.
Rune Factory 4 has a release date in North America. Xseed announced this morning that they will release the Nintendo 3DS game on October 1st—the same day as Atlus' Etrian Odyssey Untold.
BTW is a reference to the BTW button in Rune Factory 4 that lets players ask characters to join them on an adventure or make a sudden love confession.
While the Marvelous Online is going to be focused on online games such as MMORPGs and FPSes, XSEED will remain relatively unchanged, says Executive Vice-President Ken Berry.
Xseed were supposed to release Rune Factory 4 in the summer, but August is here and there's still no sign of the game. That said, the wait shouldn't last too much longer now.
Xseed have begun releasing a series of tutorial videos for Rune Factory 4 that explain various aspects of the game.
Xseed have released the first English trailer for Rune Factory 4.
This Summer, Xseed are bringing Rune Factory 4 to North America and released a batch of new screenshots for the game at E3.
Publishing arrangements for Marvelous AQL games to remain flexible, says Director of Publishing Ken Berry.
At the Game Developers Conference, Yoshifumi Hashimoto, producer of games such as the Harvest Moon and Rune Factory series, gave a talk titled: "RPG Development: Inspiration and Perspiration".
While Natsume handled the numbered Rune Factory games, Xseed will publish Rune Factory 4 in North America.
Xseed are teasing what looks like a bunch of different games.
Rune Factory 4 first came out on July 19, 2012 before the 3DS simulation game boom.
Marvelous AQL reported 620 million yen ($78.2 million) of net profit for the company's second quarter.

These quirks vary from small quirks (small effect on game play) to big quirks (potentially large effect on game play).

Love and the pursuit of love makes up a huge part of a person's life, but it is often absent from game-play. Love is also often seen as a player's choice, but in drama and mythology love is often something that grips a character and can inspire them or cripple them. Perhaps love should affect a character's dice roles and perception of reality.

what to buy
Reviewers say the AR Blue Clean AR383 is a top-quality electric pressure washer. It's not the cheapest electric model available, but it sports a triplex pump (a durable style that's uncommon at this price) and, at 1,900 psi and 1.5 gpm, it's mighty powerful. Owners say it's ideal for cars, decks, concrete and outdoor furniture, and it removes mold and mildew. Many like that it's lightweight, but some find the hose reel cumbersome.
A great pump and lots of power. For most household chores, reviewers say, the AR Blue Clean AR383 is an excellent pressure washer. Mike Aletich, product expert at PressureWashersDirect.com, says its "high performance" pump is "a step above" what's commonly used at this price. Meanwhile, owners say it packs a lot of power, and many report excellent cleaning of cars, decks, siding and masonry, as well as effective removal of pollen, mildew, mold and mulch stains. Some add that the spray is powerful enough to reach second-story windows or the roof line without a ladder. The AR383 has a one-year warranty, although some report it lasts far longer.
Two spray nozzles for control. The AR Blue Clean AR383 comes with an adjustable and turbo nozzle, which owners say perfectly meets their needs. "The two tips are versatile so you don't need others," comments one user. In addition, Mike Aletich, PressureWashersDirect.com's product expert, finds the turbo nozzle is great for "getting grime out of nooks and crannies." The motor stops running when the trigger is released, a feature that users say helps keep noise down, and many say the 20-foot hose and 30-foot power cord are nice and long. Some complain that water tends to leak where the hose meets the water source.
Lightweight and easy to operate. Reviewers say the AR Blue Clean AR383 is easy to set up and operate; as one user puts it, the learning curve is small. The onboard storage also gets praise, with owners agreeing that it's well designed. "Everything has a place, and things stay where they're put," says one consumer. At 28 pounds, the unit is considered compact and lightweight, and its wheels make it easy to move. It has a foam soap dispenser, a water-filter adapter, a quick-connect garden-hose adapter and a hose reel, though some say the reel can be a pain to use.

moreBeginning in the era of the Spanish conquest and taking the reader right up to the present day, this book focuses on how the landscape of Cuba has changed and evolved into the environment we see today. It illustrates the range of factors - economic, political and cultural - that have determined Cuba's physical geography, and explores the shifting conservation measures which have been instituted in response to new methods in agriculture and land management. The text uses historical documents, fieldwork, Geographic Information System (GIS) data and remotely-sensed satellite imagery to detail Cuba's extensive land-use history as well as its potential future. The author goes further to analyze the manner, speed and methods of landscape change, and examines the historical context and governing agendas that have had an impact on the relationship between Cuba's inhabitants and their island. Gebelein also assesses the key role played by agricultural production in the framework of international trade required to sustain Cuba's people and its economy.
The book concludes with a review of current efforts by Cuban and other research scientists, as well as private investors, conservation managers and university professors who are involved in shaping Cuba's evolving landscape and managing it during the country's possible transition to a more politically diverse, enfranchised and open polity. less

Guinness Ghana Shareholders Approve Rights Offer to Pay Debt
June 14 (Bloomberg) -- Shareholders in Diageo Plc's Ghanaian unit approved a rights offer to raise 70 million cedis ($46.2 million) to pay debt and invest in infrastructure, said David Harlock, the company's chairman.
The price and number of shares in the offer, which is open to existing Guinness Ghana Breweries Ltd. investors, will be given when the offer starts in early September, Harlock said at a shareholders' meeting in Accra, the capital, today. It will close in October, he said.
Guinness, which makes the popular stout in the West African nation along with Star lager and over beverages, will spend 40 million cedis to pay down debt stock, which stood at 70 million cedis in the nine months to March, said Harlock. Another 29 million cedis will be spent on infrastructure, water supply and electricity at the company's plants, he said.
Guinness Ghana's shares rose 1 pesewa, or 0.8 percent, to 1.31 cedis by 2:40 p.m. in Accra.

Rangers reliever Mike Adams is out for the rest of the regular season and questionable for the playoffs because of a condition that causes numbness and tingling in the fingers. Adams says he has been diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which is caused by a bone in the upper body pressing against a nerve. Adams won't fly with the team Sunday night for the final regular-season series at Oakland. He will remain in Texas to see more doctors and determine a course of action. The right-hander, who is eligible for free agency after the season, allowed three home runs in his last appearance Thursday. He had allowed only one homer in his previous 60 appearances this season as the primary eighth-inning reliever for the AL West leaders.

A common complaint about teachers in the U.S. is that they have it easy because they work only nine months a year and take home fat salaries. There's just one problem with the criticism: It's wrong.
First, forget the time off myth. Teachers tend to either participate in career development or take on an extra job during the summer. Why more work? That gets to the second part. When compared to much of the developed world, American teachers are underpaid.
annual pay for kindergarten and elementary school teachers is $53,090. The median for high school teacher annual pay is $55,050.
But teachers have a minimum educational requirement of a bachelor's degree, and many teachers also have master's degrees. That changes things. According to the BLS, the median weekly pay for people who hold at least a bachelor's degree is $1,219, or $63,388 a year. That means teachers are 16 percent behind people in general with a bachelor's degree or higher.
According to data from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), American teachers also lag teachers from other countries when compared to private sector employees with comparative amounts of education, as reported by Quartz.com. The average ratio for all countries measured by the OECD is 0.89, which means that a teacher on the average makes only 89 percent of what someone in the private sector with a similar education makes.
At the top of the list are Spain (1.4), Korea (1.34), Luxembourg (1.24), Portugal (1.17), and Flemish Belgium (1.17). In these countries, teachers make more than comparatively educated workers in the public sector. The same is true, to a lesser degree, for Finland, Denmark, Germany, French Belgium, New Zealand, and Canada.
After that point, teachers make less than those in the private sector. Israel, England, and Australia are all above the 90 percent mark. But the U.S.? It's twenty-fourth on the list at 0.7. That is lower than the BLS comparison, which would have been 0.84, but the difference could be between comparing median scores, which are the middle value in a range, and average scores.
Below the US? Hungary, Italy, Austria, Estonia, Iceland, the Czech Republic, and the Slovak Republic.
Think US Teachers Are Overpaid? Try Underpaid
American teachers' pay ranks 24th in the world

Tales of Xillia hentai doujin [English] : Milla X Koi, by Kurimomo22 February 2013, by Oliver
I feel disappointed with this new release by Kurimomo, there's the happy sex, however this time there's not been lots of vanilla flying around, and the scenario is more lacking (meaning : poof, it's gone, nothing remains) than of usual.
Yes, I know, a hentai parody of an existing series (here, Tales of Xillia) doesn't need a scenario anyway, it's metaphorically already on rails… but, come on, a good setup does add some welcome spice to it !
As for the drawings, we've got a hot blonde with nice breasts and a candid angel face, who's on the verge of discovering what happy sex is like. I don't have much more to add, see for yourselves ^^ And thanks to Shadow_moon from SMDC this release

When my mother was turning 75 - 20 years ago - I wrote to Jay Leno and asked him to send her a birthday card. She watched him every night from the beginning.
He called her instead and wished her a happy birthday.
A month later, he invited four of her family members to see his show in Atlantic City and gave us backstage passes. We took pictures and he gave my mom two autographed books and me an autographed picture.
He was very humble and nice.

Team Putin Says They Don't Mind The Latest NSA Scandal One Bit
- By Hanna KozlowskaHanna Kozlowska is a fellow at Foreign Policy. She previously worked as a fixer, researcher and freelance contributor for the New York Times in Poland, and as the associate editor for Poland Today, an English-language magazine. Her work has also appeared in the Huffington Post and several Polish publications. She graduated from Swarthmore College where she was coeditor in chief of The Daily Gazette.
While the rest of the world is bubbling with (subdued) rage against the United States over reports that the NSA has been spying on their leaders, Russia is quietly rubbing its hands.
On Thursday, The Guardian reported that the U.S. had been listening in on the phone conversations of 35 world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, according to information provided by NSA leaker Edward Snowden. The Washington Post reported that Snowden also obtained documents on U.S. allies collecting data about Russia, Iran and China (that happens?!), and that the U.S. government was warning the allied intelligence agencies that this information may come to light.
The Europeans are walking a fine line, or as Der Spiegel puts it "performing a delicate dance," balancing mandatory indignation while maintaining close ties with the United States. And while Angela Merkel says "spying among friends, that cannot be," the Russians seem to be going out of their way to show that they could care less.
In a nonchalant reaction to the new revelations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday in Minsk, Belarus that the U.S. surveillance efforts will not affect ties between the two states, that "contacts [between the two countries] will never stop." He underlined that the Snowden affair is not high on the Russian foreign agenda: "We have formulated our position on Snowden and have said everything we meant to say."
Instead of expressing their public outrage, like they had earlier this week when Mother Jones reported that the FBI was investigating Washington D.C.-based Russian cultural center for allegedly recruiting American citizens as spies, they decided to sit back. On Wednesday, the American authorities were "unfriendly," on Friday, the Russians assured that they will never cease their contacts with the U.S. Why expend the energy on backlash when you can patiently wait for the U.S. to dig itself a deeper hole?
Russian English-language news outlets are dominated by stories about how the U.S. is in trouble, reporting the blasé reactions of their leaders and gladly pointing out everyone else's annoyance — "Irritated EU leaders voice 'lack of trust' with U.S. after spying claims" reads a Kremlin-backed RT news service headline.
Voice of Russia ran an interview with Spencer Zifcak, a professor of human rights law at Melbourne University and president of the Australian National Civil Liberties Organization, who is predicting a menacing erosion of U.S.- EU relations. While European news outlets quote officials saying that the spying hardly came as a surprise, Voice of Russia's expert thinks that the news "may result in dramatic changes in diplomatic ties between many countries." Prominently featured on the front page of RT is an article on an upcoming anti-mass surveillance rally in Washington D.C., complete with encouragement from Edward Snowden to join the rally and an interview with Evan Greer from the Fight for the Future campaign, whose video on surveillance inspired the protest.
Greer said that "what we do know is that the NSA and its defenders in Congress have consistently misled the public, given false information, and outright lied about this issue … What we definitely know is that these programs have had a massively chilling effect on freedom of speech and freedom of expression."
It was a pretty ironic statement, given that it was on Vladimir Putin's favorite news website.

Little Bear 1, Javarilla 0
So I rode in the Little Bear Enduro last Saturday. The organizers tell me this was the first time a GS has officially competed in an NMA registered enduro.
Ever wonder how a GS will do on tight, technical single track? Ever wonder what a GS would look like upside down? Ever wonder what fluids leak out, and what stops working? On you? On your bike?
Stay tuned... I'm gonna flug this in over the next couple days. You see, it hurts to sit in a chair at the moment...
But, here are a couple things to keep in mind....
32 miles of 'B' and 'A' level technical single track trails (the Pro's ride Little Bear for points).
2000+ foot elevation gain, 3 times.
Serious competitors ride 200cc or 250cc machines.
People with balls ride 300cc machines.
The insane ride 450's.
If you're gonna jam it on an 1150 - do it with style...
When the K75 G/S gets near horozontial (and some times past that)
the engine oil breather lets oil into the air inlet area (when returned to normal positions that oil can get onto the paper air filter)
the gear box oil breather lets some oil out on top of the gear box
I have to pick to heavy thing up :1zhelp
Oh, and the handle bars twist in the rubber mounts (soon to be solid)
I've a sealed battery so that is not a problem area.
Frank Warner
But it is all good fun :jump Just tell the trailer faggots that.
Hoping to get into the Big Dog next year you crazy maniac? Or maybe just trying to get in some practice for Colorado? Looking forward to the write up to hear the details of what repeated rubber UP feels like. Hope you can still type...
I hope you're okay . . .
Ok - so let's get this tale under way...
The first thing you need to know is that I swore I'd never take this GS off-road. In fact, until recently, it only barely saw gravel.
You see, past GS's have been just a little too willing to be partners in stupidly and I'd gotten myself into some pretty ugly spots. After the last time, when I left virtually everything I was packing at the bottom of the Seven Devils so I could climb out of Hell's Canyon in freezing dusk, I swore the next GS would never go offroad. There's probably jeans from that trip either still in the canyon, or stuck in some turbine in a dam somewhere down the Columbia.
I swore off 'big dirt' because I wanted to live to see 40. Not for any particularly good reason other than to surprise the people who were pretty sure I'd never make it.
And I did pretty good, livin' the asphalt life. Treating the GS like a K bike. Until someone woke the monkey...
Unfortunately, the problem is that I'm over 40 now. 42 to be precise, and there's really no good reason to continue living, so, why NOT take the GS offroad? Why NOT try to breathe some life into those old desert skills and see what you can do?
S'alright - so there's some stuff to be considered...
Stuff like steering stop protection, some crash bars, some head guards, stiffer shocks, the final drive gearing, the tires, life insurance, some ride-specific tack and some new togs...
Putting the armor on the bike caused some distress on my part, mostly because I was afraid of losing roadability. If I can't keep up with JohnJen and his GPS, I'll gonna get so bad lost it won't be funny.
But on the armor had to go. The Touratech Hard Part had no appreciable affect, and the Stanton head guards actually look good on the machine. So far, it's all good.
The Touratech Crash Bars are another story, though. They touch down under aggressive cornering. That's unpleasant. They're gonna slow me down if they're on there all the time. Are there bars that won't touch down before the pegs?
Shocks were an issue because I didn't get mine through Stig - I got mine through the dealership. So I got run o' the mill Ohlins, on a machine that carries my 280lb carcass over some 'thrilling' surfaces. Turns out I'm gonna have to have Stig change the spring as soon as I garner the cash... I got wee springs - 14's when I should be running 17's or 18's.
I wasn't sure how much of a problem the gearing would be. I'm already running the 33:11 final drive, and I thought the clutch might be stout enough for the type of riding I'd attempt. I shoulda guessed that Washington enduros were gonna be a little bit different than those old BLM land dashes. [A little foreshadowing there for the attentive]
The tires, though - man, what a road joke! These TKC-80s are nasty on pavement. You can ride them pretty hard. In fact, you can grind out the Touratech crash bars if you really push, but it's an unpleasant feeling that far out onto the tiny knobs. Trace the chicken strip across big and little knobs. See how far out of alignment it moves? I don't know how you Adventure owners can stand to have these things on all the time...
So then you target an event. Didn't wanna do some limp wristed offroad poker run. Didn't think I was up to a hare scramble. I'm not going anywhere near a MX course (for a while), and while SuperMoto would be ridiculously fun on the 1150, there wasn't anything coming up in my neck of the woods.
So I chose an enduro. And not some dual sport enduro - a real enduro!
Ok - so, I really didn't think that much of enduros. In my desert days, back when I was immortal and pain only lasted a couple hours, enduro's were the sport of the old men. Guys in their 30's who wore kneebraces, and thought gopher mounds were difficult. Yah, right...
With the enduro in mind, I got to buy some nifty gadgets. Like a roll chart. A simple one, for me, thanks. One that gaurantees hours of scissoring, taping, highlighting, rolling, unrolling, turning around, rolling, recalculating, tearing, swearing, etc... Reminds me of my art school daze...
The roll chart...
The enduro ride rules...
The completed monkey biz...
All held together with Rabia's Select zipties.
The other peice of equipment you desperately need, is this...
Ya see, you're gonna look ridiculous out there anyway, you may as well have fun with it...
Tomorrow - how to strip an enduro, how to dress for an enduro, and what to pack for an enduro... Then off to the races!
Keep it coming. I have a sense that this is going to get better.
:thumb I am having fun already and am now trying to decide what color mohawk would best enhance the looks of my beast (go with complimentary orange or harmonious blue? :scratch ).
I could even "pierce" one of the turn indicators and put a ring in to complete the look.:rofl
Can someone explain what all those numbers represent on the roll chart?
where your mileage shoud be at what time.
if your behind you know to crank it up a notch.
There's no way you are 42.
I tried to put a message in my newly acquired roadbook to post in reply to you, but damned if I can figure out how to roll the paper on correctly. Maybe the touratech one really is worth $400?????
Can't wait for the rest of this report.

I attempted to use this plugin on a multisite installation, after reading the debugging log files, I found out that the plugin does not account whatsoever for multisite. This is very narrow-minded of the developer to not take into account.
After asking for support on the plugin, it's been 6 days now and I haven't heard a peep out of the developer.
If you're going to develop a plugin, and post it officially on the wordpress repository, at least have the decency to have timely responses that at least mention that you are looking into this, or plans for updates. etc.
What a piece of garbage.
I have gone to university for 20 years. I did exactly like he told me.

The owner of the house was plowing in a field nearby when he noticed smoke coming from it. It was vacant at the time.
Before fire trucks arrived, the entire house was engulfed in flames and was a total loss.

FERC Enforcing More Aggressively
In the last couple months, FERC has leveled eye-popping fines against alleged market manipulators, putting to avid use the enforcement authority it was given in 2005 so it could prevent Enron-style game-rigging.
Yesterday, the Hill quoted FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff as saying: "We're an equal-opportunity enforcer. We'll go after anybody who we believe is engaged in an activity that is inappropriate or is in violation of the statute." The statement is unapologetically stern and suggests that those who have been watching FERC recently and trying to read the tea leaves were correct to conclude that the agency is stepping up its enforcement.
FERC's recently released 2012 Report on Enforcement sent much the same message. According to the report, FERC initiated more investigations in FY2012 than in the previous year (16 compared to 12) and increased its emphasis on market manipulation. Notably, FERC's Office of Enforcement created a new Division of Analytics and Surveillance to sniff out manipulation and anticompetitive behavior. To give the division punch, the agency issued two new rules – Orders No. 760 and 768.
Order No. 760 requires regional transmission organizations and independent system operators to submit electronic data on bids, offers, market awards, resource outputs, marginal cost estimates, shift factors, financial transmission rights, internal bilateral contracts, uplift and interchange pricing. Order No. 768 is intended to improve transparency by modifying Electric Quarterly Report (EQR) data fields and by requiring EQRs to be filed by market participants that because of their de minimis market presence had not previously been required to file.
As it was making these regulations, FERC conducted a high-profile investigation into power outages in the Southwest and Northeast and imposed a record-breaking fine – a $245 million settlement ($135 million of that a civil penalty, the rest a disgorgement) with Constellation Energy over alleged manipulation of the New York wholesale power market.
This pace shows no sign of slowing. Recently, Gila River Power admitted to manipulating prices in California – the first time a market participant has admitted to violating the FERC's anti-manipulation rule in an energy trading case. And the agency prohibited JPMorgan Ventures Energy from selling at market-based rates for six months for allegedly excluding material information from filings associated with activity in the California market.

Fortunately for HBO, I have no life. And I have the past experience of throwing in the towel early on shows like 'The Sopranos' and 'Game of Thrones' only to later be calling both the best shows I've ever seen. So, that means I'm likely to stick with HBO's 'Luck' until the bitter end. As for others, I don't see it happening.
We are now three episodes into the much-hyped horse racing drama and I still have ZERO clue what Dustin Hoffman's character is all about. Uh, he's not a rat. He's chairman of the board somewhere. He owns a $2 million racehorse. So why the hell do I care? I don't think I or anyone should be this lost this far in about the supposed main character.
That's flaw No. 1 with the show. But beyond that, I don't find any of the characters outside of 'Turo Escalante' to be the least bit interesting. Gary Stevens is playing himself. Great. The degenerate crew who hit the Pick 6 and still live in a motel are cute, but you're not exactly capturing the imagination of the masses by having their next caper be owning a horse race. Thrilling.
Nick Nolte's character. Well, I don't even know his name. And each time Nolte raises his voice and starts cursing, I get bad memories of 'The Prince of Tides.'
That brings us to Turo Escalante. This is my favorite character and that's only because Santa Anita head of PR Mike Willman told me the character is based on real-life trainer Julio Canani. I've always found Canani to be very interesting. Don't know why. Whenever I see him interact with people at the track, I can tell NOBODY trusts him but EVERYBODY kinda likes him.
Actor John Ortiz is hitting it out of the park with this character. It's very easy to ALREADY understand what the character is all about and through three episodes, every part of him has been executed perfectly. What Turo Escalante does next is probably the only reason I remain excited to watch.
If you're reading this blog, you're probably like me and have extensive experience at the race track and its many interesting aspects. If you're not like me and are essentially a novice, then this probably isn't the show that's going to get you hooked on horse racing.
Think about it, desperate race track execs were hoping this would be the sport's e-ticket into the mainstream. Think 'Rounders' but for horse racing. But so far the show has taught/reminded us that trainers do shady things to cash winning tickets for THEMSELVES, the only way anyone can win is to get lucky and that horses can sometimes snap a limb and die right there on the race track. Oh yeah, and jockeys can crack their heads open by sitting in a sweat box trying to pull weight for too long.
If that sounds like something you're interested in, then come on down to Santa Anita with your gambling dollar
Wednesday Thursday-Sunday … just don't forget to bring $5 to park your car. Another $5-$12 to actually get in. Another $2-$8 to get a program and some form past performances.
All of this brings me to Luck producer/writer David Milch. I give him credit for tackling something nobody has ever tackled — the abundantly seedy side of the sport. Granted, much of what you see in Luck happens to be Milch's own interpretation of that element. We all have our own.
If you've lost enough photo finishes, then you know movies like 'Seabiscuit' and 'Secretariat' do little to move your own personal needle. The horse racing fan in everyone dies a little bit with each hundred-dollar bill he/she sends through the window only to never see it return.
I got my start in horse racing because of Sunday Silence. I was the fat kid stuffed into a suit sitting in the Hollywood Park Turf Club with tears in my eyes when Prized beat Sunday Silence in the Swaps … frickin' Siegel. Through the years, the more money I lost the less the Sunday Silences of the world mattered. (If any of you take umbrage with that line of thinking, please get off my blog and never come back).
So in the sense that Milch is trying to portray a realistic look at all the crappy things that make the race track scene what it is, and is so far steering clear of the feel-good 'Seabiscuit' garbage, Luck is a breath of fresh air. I appreciate that aspect of it more than anything.
I may not be able to understand the important characters thus far, but I at least know a rise and even bigger fall is likely coming for all of them. The overall theme of Luck is quite dark. That may suck for track execs, but for those of us who truly know the track, it's somewhat refreshing.
In order to keep EVERYBODY watching, though, the plot better thicken and the characters better develop and fast!

Mother faces neglect charges after children found living in 'horrible conditions'
An Evansville woman was arrested on allegations of child neglect after authorities found her two small children living in conditions one officer called among the worst he had ever witnessed.
Heather S. Wade, 26, is being held in the Vanderburgh County Jail on a $1,500 cash bond. She is facing two counts of child neglect.
Evansville Police Department officers were dispatched about 10:40 p.m. Saturday to 1128 S. Bedford Avenue to check on the welfare of Wade's two small children.
Inside, police say they found both children - a boy and a girl - sleeping just inside the door.
According to a probable cause affidavit, the conditions inside were terrible. Police say the children's bedding was dirty, there were numerous roaches throughout, trash, animal feces and rotting food was strewn about and dirty dishes covered in bugs lined the stove.
A large knife was found laying on the floor where the children could access it and the home had no running water, the affidavit said. According to the affidavit, the home had a strong stench of urine because the residents had been urinating in a shower. A bathroom toilet had been used but not flushed in "a considerable amount of time," police said.
"The living conditions inside this residence were not safe for any child, let alone the small children that reside there," an Evansville Police Department officer wrote in the affidavit. "In my years of experience, the living conditions at this residence were among the worst I have witnessed."
Police called in Crime Scene photographers to take pictures of the "horrible conditions," according to the affidavit.
A babysitter watching the children when police arrived told investigators the conditions were "absolutely not" acceptable, the affidavit said.
Wade reportedly returned home a short time later. Confronted by police, she started crying, according to the affidavit.
"Wade stated 'the house is dirty because I work and don't have time to clean it,'" police wrote, adding later that she "seemed more concerned about being arrested than for the safety of her children."
The children were released to their grandmother.
