Asslan v Haus Schiran in Wuppertal
Favorite thing: As I've already told many times we haven't seen many German cities and towns if our Asslan v Haus Schiran who was the best Russian German Shepherd in 1999-2003 and that reason forced us with Irina to take part in the main German Shepherds dog-shows – Shaeferhund Verein Bundessiegerzuchtschau (SV BSZS).
In 2001 it was held in Düsseldorf and we spent four nights in Wuppertal which is located not far.
Asslan liked very much staying in Wuppertal and in the Hanseatic Hotel. Especially he liked our wide bed which he used to occupy when we came back from the stadium of Düsseldorf.
That's why he preferred to stay in the hotel when we decided to explore the city on foot – it was almost raining and we left him at home.
You can watch my 0 min 57 sec Video Asslan v Haus Schiran in Wuppertal out of my Youtube channel or here on VT.

City of aspirin and Friedrich Engels
Favorite thing: There are two things that made Wuppertal very remarkable for me after my visit.
The first: Now I can say that I was in the place where Aspirin was invented in 1897 by Bayer.
The second: I can say that I was in the place where Friedrich Engels, philosopher, historian, coauthor of the Communist Manifesto (with Karl Marx) was born and lived for a long time.
The first reason is remarkable for every person because I think everyone has taken aspirin even once in their life.
The second reason is remarkable for every communist (and I was a member of the Communist party of the USSR and studied the works of Friedrich Engels very hard.
Unfortunately we couldn't find time to visit the Engels house, 18th century-architecturally typical of the region, where there is a permanent display of materials associated with Friedrich Engels. May be next time…
- Historical Travel
Wuppertal - Wupper Valley
Favorite thing: Wuppertal is located in and around the Wupper river valley, and is situated east of the city of Düsseldorf. That was the reason why we visited this city in 2001 when the German Shepherds World Championship was held in Dusseldorf.
Wuppertal in its present borders was formed in 1929 by merging the early industrial cities of Barmen and Elberfeld with Vohwinkel, Ronsdorf, Cronenberg, Langerfeld, and Beyenburg.
The initial name Barmen-Elberfeld was changed in a 1930 referendum to Wuppertal ("Wupper Valley").

Roller Coaster Ride
Fondest memory: With the trains being so packed at time it was standing room only - which was interesting as it tilted around the corners - almost like a roller coaster! Not sure that Sabsi liked that part much, she couldn't look down, but it was fun! Next time I'll ride the whole length when its not so crowded, OK Sabs?? :-))
Why so Popular?
Favorite thing: The day we visited and went for a ride on the Schwebebahn it was very busy, especially considering it was Sunday, not a working day, so where was every one going??
Well when we reached the section over land we saw why - crowds were thronging below us in a street market!
Favorite thing: This city is a bit different then others, maybe because it is build on two hills and valley in between, maybe because its unique local transportation, or maybe just because it is Wuppertal.
Official site:
A friendly driver
Fondest memory: I couldn't believe my eyes. We were standing outside a station taking pictures when a train up there leaving the station suddenly stopped. We thought something was wrong with the train or the track but after a short while we realised that the driver stopped so that we could take a better picture. Seems like Wuppertal is a very tourist-friendly place. Thank you Mr. Suspension Train Driver :-)

sing carolina with a french...
Favorite thing: sing carolina with a french boy, and you must dance, smoke (...) sing and laugh!!!
Fondest memory: when i am away from here, than i will always remember the look out of my window here, where once went olivier with a santa-claus-cap and a red pullover.
and i would also miss rudi dancing with my sister on the balkony...
Favorite thing: Amongst all the industy and constructions of the rail system and town it was nice to see the river below and we even managed to spot some wildlife - this heron by the riverside.

Sewage vote a blow to San Diego
Waiver denied for plant that fails U.S. standards
Pat Kruer, a veteran coastal commissioner from Rancho Santa Fe, used that report yesterday morning to support a motion to grant the city's waiver application. Approval from the panel would have allowed the EPA to complete its own sign-off for the third exemption.
Much to Kruer's surprise, no one backed him and the motion failed 8-1.
"It was one of the most bizarre things I have seen in 10 years," Kruer said. "I don't understand how we arrived at this point. ... The only rationale I heard them say was that it's time to do it and why should San Diego be exempt?"
Commissioner Sara Wan of Malibu criticized the proposal.
"I don't know how you justify a secondary treatment waiver," she said. "It's been 35 years since the passage of the Clean Water Act, and everybody else has secondary."
Wan said granting a third waiver would invite more stalling.
"Unless you hold their feet to the fire, I don't think they will come up to secondary," she said.
The commission's rejection has precedent.
In 2002, it initially objected to San Diego's second exemption application because of concerns about pollution and environmental monitoring. Eventually, the commission consented.
The current waiver will remain in effect until the issue is resolved.
San Diego utilities director Jim Barrett said he plans to follow through on a $2 million, 18-month study of the regional wastewater system. That project will explore chances to recycle more water and thus limit ocean discharges from the Point Loma plant.
One main barrier to improving the treatment system is lack of space at the Point Loma facility, which is wedged between the Cabrillo National Monument and Navy land. Having to build upward would cost more money.
The city would have smaller sewage loads if it increased recycling of wastewater, and that would free up some space at the Point Loma facility. The result would be opportunities for less expensive upgrades.
Some local environmentalists agreed not to oppose San Diego's latest waiver request if the city paid for the new wastewater-system study. They said spending as much as $1.5 billion for the Point Loma retrofit would undermine efforts to maximize water recycling amid predictions of more severe droughts for the Southwest.
"In 10 to 15 years, we will no longer have the luxury of treating wastewater . . . and discharging it into the ocean," said Marco Gonzalez, an attorney for San Diego Coastkeeper and the Surfrider Foundation.

Incredibly small
I wanted a little more coverage for my first triathlon. The capris are cute but I got an extra large and they are super tight. I expected them to be roomy as according to the size chart I was a large.

One of their other achievements was creating the DeSoto T1 triathlon wetsuit that is two pieces instead of one. The DeSoto T1 triathlon wetsuit was designed to make a better fit for triathletes, and each year, more DeSoto tri tops and DeSoto tri shorts are being added to the line. DeSoto is still the only company in the world that makes a two-piece triathlon wetsuit.

Learning to sew on a vintage sewing machine
This recent post about picking a sewing machine has inspired me: I followed advice similar to this answer and bought a newly reconditioned sturdy metal Singer 301A a couple of years ago. I acquired a buttonholer and zigzag attachment, as well as a box of other theoretically useful sewing feet (I will be able to sew ruffles just like in Dick and Jane readers!). [more inside]
Starting sewing (for $200 and under).

I bought one online and almost instantly the seller refunded my money and told me there's a quality issue and Brother has asked sellers to not sell it until that's sorted out. Which other makes and models compare favorably and should be considered instead?

Looking for a French singer from the 90s (long shot, I know)
I was in Paris in April of '96 and kept hearing her song everywhere but never got a chance to pick up the album, which I assume had just been released. It's a solo artist (I'm pretty sure), slow, acoustic guitar, and the video had her sitting in an empty derelict apartment while people peered in through the peephole. I've tried everything I could to find it but gave up until I discovered Mefi. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear from you. [more inside]
beautiful, female singer, strange lyrics

Voices you either love or hate...
I like singers with strange voices. I don't like novelty songs (e.g. Betty Boop) and I don't like "songs" that are so avant-garde that they're basically noise (e.g. someone screaming into a microphone). So I'm not looking for strange music. I'm looking for traditional (melodic) music sung by singers with non-traditional singing voices. Examples of what I like: Joanna Newsom, Leon Redbone, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Elaine Stritch. [more inside]

Implication of Secure Micropayment System Using Process Oriented Structural Design by Hash Chaining in Mobile Network
Date Added: Jan 2012
Format: PDF
The proposed system presents a novel approach of designing a highly secured and robust process oriented architecture for micro-payment system in wireless adhoc network. Deployment of any confidential transaction over dynamic nature of wireless adhoc network will strike a high amount of security challenges which is very difficult to identify which poses a great difficulty in designing and effective countermeasures. The current work designs the security process using hash chain and Simple Public Key Infrastructure to be implemented on newly designed digital agreement of broker along with paving new secure routing for secure m-transaction as an efficient alternative for digital coin.

Let's cruise together
Hello and welcome aboard. I've asked you here to take a private cruise with me. There won't be many that will make the trip, and quite frankly I wouldn't ask just anyone along, most won't leave the dock. I'm looking for some key qualities in selecting my first mate. SOWHATABOUTBOB I happen to be an active guy with an irreverent sense of humor and a passion for animals. As an Architect at Disneyland I'm typically working on bleeding eye thrill rides (LOL) or some other Resort refreshment project (hold the kool-aid jokes pls). I appreciate long walks on short piers, calm waters and blazing sunsets (they generally occur slightly later for tall guys). And when I'm not writing a silly Match profile, I'll be mastering my dog guru skills as pack leader for my golden retriever and ckr spaniel. I take great pride in staying fit and go to the gym a few times a week strength training and lap-swimming. I generally observe a "no pinch more than an inch mantra" and I regularly cook healthy for myself, (cholesterol numbers avail upon request). But in spite of these daily regimens, I have time to appreciate a nice sirah wine, or craft brew (so who doesn't have a fair share of contradictions). I enjoy most kinds of live music and get out to local venues frequently. Rumor has it that I'm no stranger to the dance floor when the vibe hits. Do you like dogs and boating of course? Are you spontaneous enough for a run to Vegas, Lake Havasu, or the mountains? But my latest passion is Kiteboarding and I can't wait till next spring. I don't recall having been so consumed with an activity in my life. I might even argue that it's even better than sex. Have something that you've always wanted to experience? It's encouraged to think outside the box as I'm open to hear what passions you'd like to share... and I'm always up for a stimulating conversation. Could you be interested in the sport of paragliding? It's on my LIST... I'm quite handy, resourceful, and I like doing a lot of things myself. I'll tackle many home projects that mortals can only aspire. And a caution here, I'm always painfully honest, so if you want a lie, look elsewhere. I believe my most valuable asset is my integrity. It goes like this,.. if I commit to something or someone, I don't flake, you can bank on it. I firmly believe in the redemptive powers delivered by a chilled martini, the warmth of a beautiful smile and the breeze generated by the wagging tails of my companions. WHATABOUTYOU You're a class act with a twisted sense of humor. Maybe a bit like mine since I'm keen on seeking the reward of your smile. Neither of us can afford to take ourselves too seriously. And yes that includes all this online business, so let's lighten UP and have some fun! You're confident and sincere about starting again and have the TIME to make it a priority. You know the value of having a special partner who can commit without reservations. You share my compassion for animals and related charities. You're independent, fit, enjoy a healthy active lifestyle. We both share an appetite for adventures including boating and watersports. And no tats please, I've yet to find one that complements the natural topology. You demonstrate compassion, only to find it reciprocated many times over. You also have the ability to charm the pants off me only to find a capable and passionate lover. (one way the cardio stuff pays off) You also offer patience as we both learn each others passions, dreams, and ambitions. Don't hold back, time's wasting, we need plot a course for our future. So sign up for our cruise together and email me now. Capt Rob. tags: Live music, rollerblading, kayaking, skiing, kite boarding extra credit: boat launching, first mate, UFC, football,

37 year old woman | La Jolla, CA, USA | Seeking men 33-42 within 15 miles
I have learned that if you are who you say you are, you will find someone who loves you for you.
I'm a Midwest transplant looking to meet a man who can keep up with me both physically and emotionally. I like to spend my weekends outside either riding my beach cruiser, hiking, roller blading, etc. I'm an intelligent young woman and like men who have a brain and can stimulate mine. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do. So if you're the type of guy who likes to sit and watch TV more than anything, then we probably won't mesh too well. I'm pretty open to most people with one tiny flaw...I like men over 5'10.

I have a full size greyhound and a basset hound. Yes, it's a weird combo, but they are awesome!
Middle of the Road
I like places that have good wine, tasty food and outdoor seating.
I was a musician for many years and really enjoy all types of music. I tend to listen to top 40 in my car, but I by no means am closed minded to hearing new melodies.
I enjoy being outside and taking part in everything San Diego has to offer. I also enjoy trying new restaurants and types of wine. Sporting events are also fun to attend. In addition, I like to travel and see the world. Oh, and riding my scooter. :)
50 Shades of Grey...like every other woman in the world has read.

Unless you are alone in a new place you are not traveling to its fullest extent. You are doing it right, as alone your traveling companions do not block your seeing and experiencing a new place.
You've the ability to look outside of yourself and see others and make good observations., Your photos are quite good and add much.

I didn't feel the need to rush out today. The only thing I had on my plate was the lantern festival later that evening, so I slept in and ate breakfast at my hotel. A step above your average continental style spread with five staff members ready to assist me.
Rice, baguettes, croissants, small pastries, fresh fruit, coffee, and orange drink. Good way to start the day.
My height was the major topic. Everyone took turns standing with me back to back, while the onlookers laughed. This gets old after a while, but today I had fun with it. I didn't plan on riding around today. I'd just take the free shuttle into town, and wander until the festivities got rolling. I hadn't shaved since I'd left home and was getting pretty mangy, so I wanted to try and find a place to clean me up. I'd never had a proper shave with a straight razor, and had always wanted to experience one. I figured this would be a good place try it.
I must have hit five or six salons before I found won that understood what I wanted, and could actually provide the service. Turned out it was going to set me back three whole dollars. Game on. I took my place in the chair and tried to push the image of a severed jugular as far from my thoughts as possible. The young girl that performed the shave didn't make it easy. It all started with the application of the shaving cream. She literally put a small dollop on her index finger and dabbed it on my face. She was already apprehensive, and we were still a good five minutes away from the dangerous part. At one point she got a bit of lather in my mouth, and proceeded to fish it out with her finger. She wasn't shy. She just went knuckle deep without skipping a beat.
Then came the moment of truth. She reached into a drawer and removed the razor. She seemed to be petrified just to open it. I watched her eyes dart to different points on my face making it apparent that she had no idea where to start. Just as I was about to loose my nerve, she reached in and took a swipe on the left side of my jaw. No sudden gush of warmth down my neck. So far so good. Each subsequent pass was slow and deliberate. It took a good ten minutes before my face was bare. Just when I thought I was done, she pulled out a cotton ball, and ran it along my face. This girl was nothing if not thorough. On to the second coat of shaving cream. From the first dab of lather to the final application of shaving cream I was in the chair for just under thirty minutes. Hands down the longest shave of my life, but my face had never been smoother.
After the shave the only other employee on the floor brought me a cup of tea, and invited me to sit with him for "English". He was a nice kid, very eager to communicate, but his English was on par with my Vietnamese. After I finished my tea the girl asked if I wanted a massage. You bet! This was a real salon after all. Not at all like the place the day before. She walked me up to a communal room with three beds. Handed me a pair of cotton shorts and shut the door. After forcing myself into the Vietnamese sized shorts, she came back in with a water filled bucket to soak my feet. They didn't fit of course. Size 15 if you're wondering. After a pretty good foot massage she ushered me over to one of the beds. Déjà vu!
As soon as I made contact with the sheet I knew I wasn't the first one to lie on it. This made me wonder how many people had worn my shorts. I tried to ask for new sheets, but it was lost on her. I gave up and let her go to work. Apart from the sheets it was a great massage. Between this and my shave I was feeling pretty damn good.
I walked down stairs and had another cup of tea. Just as I was beginning to gather my things a young Vietnamese woman walked in. Turned out she owned the place. After talking to her for a while she asked if I would come and have noodles with her family. Hell yes! She asked me to come back at three, then made me promise to return. Turns out most of the shopkeepers there don't take foreigners at their word. I guess if you hear shoppers falsely say, "I'll be back to buy that later" fifty or sixty times a day it's easy to understand why. I promised, and headed out to do grab a bite.
I gave myself some extra time to find my way back. I'm glad I did. Sure enough, I got lost (again) and barely made it by three. When I arrived she had changed clothes and was ready to go. She had been very flirty earlier, and was even more so now. I didn't think too much of it because I had heard that Vietnamese people tend to be very touchy feely, and we were going to meet her husband after all. I was still curious about her motives though. Let's face it. "I'm a God damn good looking guy."
I didn't have a scooter today so the plan was to go two up on hers. Unbeknownst to me, the plan was to have me on the back. "You no license." Really? I began to loose count of the double takes I was witnessing on the way out of town. We had to have caused an accident or two. I'm not sure how far we went, or even which direction, but it took us twenty-five minutes to get to the first stop.
That's me on the back there.
Our first stop was to meet her mother in-law, and the person I thought was her husband. He wanted nothing to do with me, so I was beginning to think this whole thing was a bad idea. The owner of the salon (I'm horrible, and don't remember her name) had also mentioned earlier that her husband "Make medicine." So when the tea came out, all I could think of were the horror stories about tourists waking up without kidneys. I had read in numerous places that it was a bad idea to accept food, or drink from someone unknown to you. Normally I just blow that kind of talk off, but I was genuinely nervous. It didn't help that she brought the tea out pre-poured. I also had no idea where the hell I was. I touched the cup to my lips, but never took in too much of the tea. What a moron.
Turned out it wasn't her husband, it was her brother in-law. He was standoffish because he didn't speak any English. This became clear to me only after I met her actual husband. No roofies, no kidney harvesting, just genuine hospitality.
Their view.
Back on the scooter, and off to our next stop. This time to meet her husband, and father in-law. I was curious to see how he would react to a tall American riding all over town with his wife. When we arrived at the apothecary shop they ran, he rushed out to great me with a giant smile and his arms extended. He immediately began to shake my hands and pat my arms and shoulders. Her father in-law received me just as warmly, but not as energetically. He had a great deal of trouble moving, and by Western standards would have been considered legally blind. He hobbled over to me and handed me a box of Vietnamese treats, similar to moon pies. I loved these people.
Need some shark penis, or Tylenol? This is the place.
As broken as the conversation was, it was really enjoyable. Her husband showed me around the shop (didn't take long), and tried to explain what everything was. I got none of it, but it was cool to see someone so excited about what they do . We all worked at communication for a bit more, then I was asked "You want noodle?" Of course, I love noodle! We were off to dinner. This time I rode with her husband. It was a bit less emasculating.
The place we ended up at was awesome. It was packed with people, and not an American, Australian, Kiwi, or European among them. I kid you not, there was a moment when we first walked in, that it became totally silent. If there had been a record playing, it would have most definitely skipped. This is the kind of place I had been dying to eat at, and it didn't disappoint. The food they ordered was amazing, but being the moron that I am, I didn't remember the names of any of the dishes. This meant I didn't get to enjoy them again on my trip.
I offered to pay, but it was made very clear to me that if you are invited out by someone in Vietnam, you are not expected to pay. Nor should you offer. So I did the next best thing. After the meal her husband pulled out a cigarette, but couldn't seem to find his lighter. I grabbed my Zippo and lit it for him. He excitedly shouted "ZIPPO" when he saw it. He obviously had seen them before, but had no idea how to use it. I flicked it a few times for him, then motioned for him to keep it. He was stoked, but she looked upset. At that moment I had remembered her giving him a hard time about smoking while we sat in front of the pharmacy. Then I felt bad about the whole exchange. I looked at her and shook my head, as if to say "Was that not okay?" He took it to mean that I hadn't actually given it to him, and tried to hand it back to me. Fortunately we got it all figured out, and left with full bellies, and smiles on our faces.
Now it was time coffee. If you've never had a Vietnamese coffee, I would highly recommend trying it. It consists a small glass filled with a bit of condensed milk. A French drip filter filled with finely ground coffee sits on top of the glass. When it's filled with hot water it slowly fills the glass with concentrated coffee. You then poor it over ice. Delicious!
The place we rode to was huge, and we were the only people there. It was an open air restaurant that sat right on edge of a massive rice paddy. It was a stunning location. Unfortunately I left my good camera with her father in-law, and my point and shoot had run out of batteries just after we arrived.
I thought that was the end of our time together, but we still had to meet her mother and father. After dropping her father in-law off at his home, we made the thirty-minute trek into the country. Once again I was greeted with open arms, and excitement. This place was dramatically smaller than her in-laws place. This was the home of a rice famer. What it lacked in size and furnishings it made up for in personality.
The mother appeared from the back just long enough to shake my hand. Then immediately retreated to her hiding place. Her father was quick to offer me a seat in a plastic chair (of course). It sat with others, surrounding a plastic table that wasn't much larger than the chairs. We communicated as best we could. As before, when one of us was stumped we just embraced the fact that we could go no further and just jump into something else. This went on for a while until the father asked (through his daughter) if I liked beer. This night just keeps getting better!
One thing I had forgotten in that moment, is that virtually everyone in Vietnam has a satellite dish, but refrigerators are in short supply. When he offered up a cold beer, that meant we had to walk to the one shop in town that had the means to keep them cold. Father and husband stayed behind, as I was escorted down the road by my new friend. At one point she reached out and grabbed my hand. Once again, I was confused about the message she was trying to send. Was this inappropriate, or simply a cultural difference? I didn't want to offend her if it was the latter, so I simply held her hand. It became clear that it was completely innocent.
We reached the store after walking about half a mile. Sitting out front were two of the coolest old guys I'd ever seen. All smiles, and not a healthy tooth between them.
Once we arrived back at her father's house, beers in hand, her mother made another appearance. She brought out an egg omelet with minced duck, and a bowl full of steamed snails. Apparently the snails are abundant in the rice paddies. My hosts wasted no time diving into the food. The father put the snails in whole, and simply spit out the shells once he had retrieved the meat. Old school! His daughter and son in-law chose to use toothpicks to fish the critters out, and encouraged me to do the same. Then something funny happened. Even though I was keeping a pretty good pace with the rest of them, her father would occasionally reach across, and feed me one. I was confused about the message he was trying to send. Was this inappropriate, or simply a cultural difference? Once again I chose not to offend.
This day remains one of my fondest travel memories.
After a bit more socializing, we were off. It was a long hard ride home. The two bulging disks I had been nursing back to health prior to this trip were on fire. For the bulk of the ride home I had placed my hands on the back of the scooter pushing my self up off of the seat. By the time we reached her salon, forty minutes later, I was a wreck. Now, not only was my back killing me, but my neck and shoulders were in spasm. I got one final massage (with clean sheets) thanked her profusely, and was off to catch the last shuttle to the hotel. I had missed the lantern festival, but could have cared less. When I left home, I told my wife that being invited into someone's home would be a high point for me. Three days in, and it had already happened. Everything from here on out would be gravy. Hell, I hadn't even officially started my trip.
Tomorrow morning I'd be off to Hanoi, in search of legendary Minsk, and truly starting my adventure.

Monroe County Crash Injures 2
A one-vehicle crash in Monroe County Sunday injured two
Last night around 5:30 48 year old Mark Hauser of rural Tomah was southbound on County PP in the Town of Oakdale when he lost control of his truck due to ice covered roads. He went in the west ditch and overturned times before coming to rest the truck's side.
Hauser received non-life threatening injuries and was transported to Tomah
Memorial Hospital. A passenger in the truck. 28 year old Charles Schumann, also
of Tomah, received non-life threatening injuries and was transported to Tomah
Memorial Hospital
The crash remains under investigation by the Monroe County Sheriff's Department
Black Ice Cause of Monroe County 1 Person Crash
Black Ice seemed to be the cause of a one person crash in Monroe County Saturday night.

Local Republican Hesitates to Predict Outcome of Caucuses
Going into today's caucus voting in Iowa, the Republican presidential candidate field looks pretty wide open. Expect that to narrow considerably after today, says La Crosse republican party chair Bill Feehan. Although he declined to offer his prediction for who might finish first today
Iowa is the first state to take part in the presidential nominating process. Wisconsin's presidential primary won't happen until April.
Thieves Nab Two Cars
Seems as though someone did not get any new cars for Christmas so they decide to steal their own. Sparta Police are looking for two cars that were stolen over the weekend, during two separate incidents.
One is a Teal colored 1993 Geo Prizm with a Minnesota license plate...the other a Silver colored 1998 Chevrolet Malibu with a Wisconsin.
Both vehicles were taken from residences on the west side of Sparta.
One Drunk Driving Change Not Likely in New Year
If you ask lawmakers, chances are they'll tell you they're in favor of making a crime of first time drunk driving in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, says John Vose with the Wisconsin chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, costs of changing the law make the idea not such a winner
Which means the idea is likely a non-starter again this year in Madison. Wisconsin is the only state that treats a first time drunk offense as more of a traffic ticket than a crime.

Directors of volunteer services are responsible for organizing volunteer event and services for their organization. They assist with volunteer recruitment and selection, participate in training for internal and external individuals, and use strong leadership skills to motivate a group of volunteers to achieve organizational goals in a timely manner. Directors of volunteer services use a personal computer as one of their main tools to communicate with other organizations, colleagues, and volunteers, as well as maintain event and volunteer information. They actively participate in events to promote their organization's volunteer programs and share important information for prospective volunteers, as well as work to create strong partnerships and maintain positive relations with relevant outside organizations. Directors of volunteer services must follow all safety and privacy guidelines to protect sensitive company and volunteer data.Read More...
A bachelor's degree in a relevant field is typically required for this position. In addition, previous experience - including in a directorial capacity - is generally required or preferred as well. Industry and leadership certifications may be beneficial. Directors of volunteer services must be organized individuals that can multitask on a variety of projects at a time. They should have excellent customer service skills to increase volunteer satisfaction and the satisfaction of those that volunteers serve. Directors of volunteer services must work well in a team environment, as well as on their own, and demonstrate skills in the areas of human relations, crisis intervention, conflict mediation, and planning.
Survey takers who work as Directors of Volunteer Services report a focused set of job skills. Most notably, skills in Customer Relations, People Management, Project Management, and Marketing Communications are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Marketing Communications and Project Management. Aptitude in People Management tends to also indicate an understanding of Project Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Directors of Volunteer Services — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. Salaries for the relatively untried average out to around $42K, but survey participants with five to 10 years of experience earn a significantly higher median of $48K. Directors of Volunteer Services with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $53K. Individuals who have achieved more than 20 years of experience don't seem to earn much more than people who have 10 to 20 years under their belts; the more senior group reports an average income of $56K.

Exile's DR650 TAT Build & Prep
Well I finally got my DR650. I have started my bike mods already and I figured I would share and see what input I could gain as well. These are the beginning preparations for the TAT. My friend and I will be making the trek summer of '10.
The Bike: 2004 DR650, 5k Miles.
The Mods (so far): 7.62mm Ammo cans (2), Pelican Top Box, homemade racks, driving lights, power adapter.
The pictures:
I didn't get a shot of the bike before I did everything, but I'm pretty sure everyone knows what a stock DR looks like.
Finished top rack. Everything fastens to the existing mounting places, just needed to get longer bolts.
Top rack with Pelican case mounted.
I ended up drilling my holes off center :doh so I found some small round rubber tube patches and stuck those over my giant holes and pierced the bolts through. Instant weatherproofing!
I have pictures of the design process for the side racks but they are grainy (camera phone), so here is the finished product. Powder coated side and top racks.
Mounted on the bike. The rear turn signals are fasten to the top rack since I did away with the stock grab handles.
The finished product of my labor including the ammo cans.
Driving lights from Wal-Mart...$14.95. Mounted to the reflector brackets. I have since drilled new holes above to remount the reflectors.
Fabricated a weatherproof switchbox to mount the independent switch to the battery and the power adapter. I have since redone the mounting so it looks nicer...(i.e. hidden zip ties) :D
Fabrication of the windscreen is next.
Things still to get: TrailTech X2 headlight(ordered), Acerbis Front Fender(ordered), Corbin Seat, IMS Tank, Skid Plate, Tires, Handguards, and much more!
I do have an issue that I have run into that I could use some input with. I have my ammo cans bolting to the side rack as of now. However I am trying to design a 'quick release' system to be able to remove them easily at my discretion. If anyone has some ideas they would be helpful. I have seen the 'hockey puck' idea but I don't know how it works well enough to implement my own.
Any and all input is welcome. Criticize away!
i have an 09 dr. im going to get the suspension done also. also im going to do the ims tank, corbin seat. i bought the baja windscreen from cee bailey. it work very well and i just bolted it right up to the stock number plate. i will be using soft bags that go over the seat, cant remember the name. killer loop? when i went on my 700 miler i found myself using the passenger pegs a lot to get more comfortable on the long straights.
What you can do instead of using you passenger pegs, is bolt a "highway" bar on to the skid plate (assuming you will get one) so that you can extend your legs out. And Nelson Rigg makes a good pair of over the seat side bags.
Since classes are out for fall break I got started putting all my new parts on.
I finished the stator rewire. Then put on the following parts; Acerbis Front Fender, Trail Tech X2 headlight, Emgo hangguards, Corbin Seat, Skid Plate, and a Twin Air Air Filter. IMS tank is being shipped.
By the end of the week I should have my side racks rebuilt to bring my ammo cans higher and make them easily removable as well as painting the ammo cans since they are starting to rust. I will also be making my own windscreen and highway pegs.
Well I was finally able to test out my bike on the trails and see if I had any regrets on the decisions I had made.
My friend and I took our DR's out on the trails at the beginning of the week. We went on ATV trails in our area through the woods, creeks, and muddle hills and was it ever challenging with these big bikes. It was a scenario of man handle or be man handled...
I enjoyed every moment! The bikes performed great and even survived some hard crashes and many tip-overs. One thing that seemed to help handling was lowering the front forks. Mine are lowered to the handle bars while my friends were up at stock. After switching bikes, it seemed that my DR was the more stable of the two. I also had 80lbs more weight on my bike than he did since I am 40lbs heavier and I had my ammo cans on, another 40lbs. This may have helped stable my bike a bit but I'll leave that to speculation.
We didn't get pictures of the trail riding but got some dirty ones after.
The next day my IMS tank came and I installed it and rebuilt my racks while my friend built his.
Here are some photos from the day.
The goal of rebuilding my racks was to make them symmetric, since I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and to raise up the boxes.
Here are my friends racks for his Nelson-Rigg soft bags.
At this time I also cut off the metal lip on one end of each box and welded that side shut so the lids can hinge up stand on end. Then I painted the boxes so they won't rust anymore.
As of yesterday, after the paint had cured, I started making the new attachment brackets for the ammo cans.
The bracket will mount on the bottom of the rack and then I only need to secure two screws at the top and my boxes are mounted.
And the finished product. Now I just have to make a windscreen.
That is freaking awsome. Im looking forward to see how you build the windshield. I built mine but could have put more time into to make it a lot better. Not that I'm not satified with it but I almost always see room for improvment after building something. As for the ammo can saddle bags that is my next goal. I really like how you did your up. Im just waiting for time to make mine. Living in and apartment really makes it a challenge when you have to go to a friends house to build everything. Do you know if that stator rewire is able to be done to all years or just the newer ones, I have a 92 and would really like to do it if possible? Keep up the great work. Im looking forward to seeing more.:thumb :clap
The stator rewire should be able to be done to all years. The post on Thumper Talk has gotten more input so I'll post it there to make sure. Check it out here.
Does look smart - but be honest, don't the top front edges of the boxes dig into your legs :huh Looks like they might limit movement on the bike ?
Not at all surprisingly. I can even ride my fiance comfortably. :wink:
Home made Farkles-Like a lot !!!
Exile, WOW, I really like your style. Making your own farkles! Cool.
I've made a few for my 2006 DR650... like a package shelf on the left side, attached to the left rear foot peg mounting bolts. It will hold a case of beer or a plastic fuel jug. Probably more things too.
Made a bracket for the right side of the bike that bolts to the right rear turn signal mount bolt and the right passenger foot peg mounting bolts. I bolt on my Kolpin rifle case or the home made chainsaw bar sheath that holds the 20" bar and Stihl 031 saw (1978 model-got new). Works well for opening logs on trails.
Think your rack and pannier frames are cool, and will be doing some copying, if you don't mind.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it. :D
You'll have to post some pictures of your shelf/brackets, though is a 20" blade really necessary? :eek1
Copy away, that's why I posted. The racks are made out of 1/4" square tubing, 1/4" (I think) hot rolled steel, and some 1/8" flat stock.
The 1/4" is measured from the inside, if I'm not mistaken.
Man freaking great job on your project. I have 2 20mm ammo cans at home waiting to do the same thing...once Santa brings me my MIG welder for Christmas. Everything looks great!
You can make some pretty good pannier mounts by using hockey pucks
The advantage is no metal to metal and some give in a off

Key Executives for PA Consulting Group Limited
PA Consulting Group Limited Key Developments
PA Consulting Group announced the appointment of Marcus Agius as Non-Executive Chairman as of January 1, 2014. The appointment comes after the earlier announcement that Jon Moynihan, currently Executive Chairman of PA, would be retiring at the end of the year. Marcus Agius was Chairman of Barclays for six years until October 2012. He was also the first Non-Executive Director to be appointed to the BBC's Executive Board acting as its Senior Independent Director until November 2012.
PA Consulting Group (PA) has patented a new technology that allows consumers to instantly confirm the authenticity of luxury goods, tickets and other items via their smartphone. The new dynamic QR system will be demonstrated at CTIA MobileCON at the San Jose Convention Center, Calif, October 16, 2013. In this new approach, a continuously changing QR code is attached to a product, device or ticket; the code can then be read and verified by the consumer upon purchase using a smartphone application. Each incarnation of the code is only valid for a specific time frame -- seconds, minutes or hours, depending on the use -- making it virtually impossible for fraudsters to copy. Previously, QR codes were unsuitable for secure authentication purposes, because the codes are easy to copy and duplicate. PA Consulting Group's system can bring immediate benefits in many areas where security, authenticity, traceability or validity is of significance to the supplier and to the end user, particularly in areas such as consumer products, ticketing, transport, supply chain and pharmaceuticals. Potential uses for the QR authentication system include: Product authenticity; Ticketing for transport and events; Advertising and promotions; Real-time lotteries and prize events and On-packet promotional campaigns. This innovation combines the concepts of machine readable codes and a time changing authentication system to produce an authentication scheme which can be applied to any machine readable code such as 2D barcodes, 3D barcodes and QR codes.
A trio of US-led consortiums has formed to bid for Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S). Bechtel Corporation and CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd. are fronting two of the groupings that want to run DE&S. Bechtel Corporation has teamed-up with PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, PA Consulting Group Limited and QinetiQ Group Plc (LSE:QQ.). CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd has teamed up with Serco Group plc (LSE:SRP) and WS Atkins plc (LSE:ATK). A third consortium is understood to comprise URS Corporation (NYSE:URS) and KBR, Inc. (NYSE:KBR), who were expected to bid separately. The bid teams were expected to be announced on July 16, when the Defence Secretary, Philip Hammond, launched the second reading of the Defence Reform Bill. However, the Coalition's in-fighting over the Liberal Democrat-prompted review of alternatives to the Trident nuclear deterrent appears to have side-lined that news. Philip Hammond told the House of Commons that DE&S itself would be registered as a British company, regardless of the international firms within a winning consortium. He added that the final decision on whether to go ahead with this model would be taken next spring, with an operator to be selected by early 2015.

Publisher:Digital Manga Publishing
Robot Vol. 1 is an all-color manga compilation and edited by the elite manga artist Range Murata, character designer for Studio Gonzo's Last Exile and Blue Submarine No. 6. His hand-picked contributors come together in a mind blowing experiment of what happens when top manga artists work in the unusual medium of color. From Range Murata's picturesque portrayal of a long and hot motorcycle ride through the countryside to Yoshitoshi Abe's tale of dark fantasy resembleing a D&D campaign gone horribly wrong, narrative diversity competes with high level artistic experimentation in this monumental work.

For the next five months, the Miami Seaquarium will be home to the world`s largest flying fish.
Well, make that an honorary fish.
Over the next two days, crews will assemble a Boeing 727 jet airliner and put it on display near the parking lot of the Key Biscayne theme park at 4400 Rickenbacker Causeway.
On June 5, the plane will be towed about three miles offshore on a barge and sunk in 80 feet of water as part of Dade County`s artificial reef program.
``You don`t even have to go into the Seaquarium to see it,`` said Steve O`Neal, president of BMI Salvage, the firm that donated the plane to Dade County.
Originally, the three-engine jet, called The Spirit of Miami, was to be sunk in October, but it was delayed by a shortage of money. O`Neal said a $20,000 donation from Dade County ensures the plane will be submerged.
However, his company still will be short about $60,000, the cost to prepare the airliner for its final voyage.
To piece the plane together, crews will use a crane to attach a single, 25,000-pound wing section to the fuselage. Then, the tail section will be mounted.
While the plane is on display at the Seaquarium, it will be turned over to the Dade County School Board. Students will design experiments, such as ways to monitor metal fatigue.
After the plane is in its final resting place, students from Florida International University will monitor water temperature and currents around the plane, O`Neal said.

Director: Curtis Hanson
Language: English
The latest feature from Curtis Hanson ("L.A. Confidential" and "8 Mile") depicts a professional poker player's romantic life and his conflict with his father. Eric Bana plays Huck, a talented Las Vegas poker player who embarks on a love affair with Billie (Drew Barrymore), an aspiring singer. As Huck spends time with the honest and open Billie, his life begins to change. He enters the World Championship of Poker, where he must compete with his estranged father (Robert Duvall), a two-time poker champion.
