Everything Frank McCourt touches goes bankrupt
May 30, 2012, 12:31 PM EDT
I saw that the Dewey & LeBoeuf law firm is folding. That's huge news and the latest indication of just how farkakte the economics of the legal business are. But I had forgotten who D&L's most recent high profile client was. Here's Steve Dilbeck of the L.A. Times:
News has come from back east that the law firm of Dewey & LeBoeuf is filing for bankruptcy. Besides the little detail that this is the largest law firm to go under in U.S. history, there is this one other notable fact: The law firm going bankrupt is the same law firm that handled Frank McCourt's bankruptcy of the Dodgers … Hey, I know a guy flush with $1 billion who might be able to give Dewey a loan. You could argue he even owes them.
Sadly, we can't pin this on McCourt. Rather, we can pin it on a ridiculous compensation system that has law firm partners promising themselves insane draws despite the fact that revenues won't support it anymore because business clients aren't as dumb as to simply rubber stamp every legal bill that comes in to the accounting office like they did back in the 80s.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be corporate lawyers …

We may not be able to pin this one on McCourt, but we get to see Sad Frank one more time, for posterity.

I think we need to start a mccourtface.com if there isn't one already. manningface.com is priceless.
- HitsDingers - May 30, 2012 at 1:17 PM
haha seriously. this is like cousin of manningface
- Chris Fiorentino - May 30, 2012 at 2:47 PM
Not that I am a fan of the Colts or, God Forbid, the Stinking Giants…but the manningface.com site doesn't really work anymore when you realize that they have 3 rings between them. Granted, it was fun to pick on Peyton and Eli before they did anything…now? It just seems kinda lame.
- nightman13 - May 30, 2012 at 3:38 PM
Just take the approach I do.
If Pey Pey wasn't so selfish and demanded so much of his team's cap space he'd have as many rings as Brady. Turns out when you occupy upwards of 20% of the team's salary cap it makes it very difficult to assemble a well rounded team. Then picture him realizing that fact when you look at it.
I'm pretty sure Eli Manning is the Forrest Gump of the NFL. There is no rhyme or reason why he should have two rings if you look at the stats and some of his performances, but then at the end of the day he somehow pulls it off.
- mianfr - May 30, 2012 at 1:00 PM
Yeah, it's just the compensation system. They were still doing meaningful and high profile cases, but there just weren't enough to go around to service all the debt they accrued.
- lanflfan - May 30, 2012 at 4:40 PM
Hopefully every business in the US takes notice: stay clear of McAsshat. He's the anti-Midas, everything he touches turns to brown (and smelly).

McCourt was represented by Dewey, Cheatem & Howe? Figures.

Bahía de Kino to Alamos
Saturday, Oct 4: Day 12
Sad to say goodbye to Bahía de Kino, but time to move on. Were on the bikes by 7:30 and we head south on 24 towards Guaymas. After a stretch we switch bikes and the immediate difference is that Marcs Honda has no fairing which I like. The KLR fairing directs the airflow up and under my helmet so that I get air rushing into my left ear which Ive had to wear a plug for. And the Honda has brakes! I left my KLR brakes stock and they do not inspire confidence.
After 4 hours we arrive at Navojoa where we take a left towards Alamos. We begin to climb and theres more desert vegetation, quite pretty. After 50 minutes were almost there when we pass a pick-up way overloaded with firewood and it has a flat. After a ¼ mile I pull over and ask Marc if we shouldnt go back and offer a hand, weve got the time. The owner of the truck appears surprised, but happy that two gringos should pull over to help out, and he gives us a big smile as we shake hands. No sooner do we look at the tire when a friend of his happens by and pulls over as well. Pickup owner tells us his friend will be able to help out just fine. He thanks us again---at least we tried to do our good deed.
At the Pemex station entering Alamos we stop to ask about a certain hotel. We take off coats and backpacks because of the heat, glad to be able to be rid of them for a few minutes. Back on the bikes, we find a nice hotel for $500 pesos and its right in the heart of downtown. After unloading things I look for my backpack I look more and some more. Marc, you seen my backpack?
I go back to where we parked the bikes, back to reception, outside where we first stopped to see the hotel. Nowhere in sight. Great. What did it have? Maps, books. Hey, no money! Still got all my ID / papers. Hey there wasnt really all that much, food, water .uh-oh the title to my bike. And my brand new camera with all my photos!!! There goes my road report!
Unbelievable. I know nobody stole it. I must have left it at the Pemex???? I ride the mile back to the Pemex (an hour later now) knowing that this is a waste of time. I arrive, get off bike and there it is!
My backpack is sitting on a bench right in front of the Pemex station. Im almost afraid to look inside. I open it up and all my stuff is there. I know I didnt leave the backpack on the bench. I must have set it on the ground by my bike and rode away forgetting to put it on. Someone prolly saw me leave it and left it on the bench knowing I would come back sooner or later. Thank you whoever did that. I like to think it was the pick-up driver for whom we had stopped to help out. It could happen
The rest of the day we stroll around Alamos, me, gratefully, taking pictures of the beautiful town...
We find a lovely mom and pop restaurant and make plans for the last two days of riding!
Total miles: 268; Bahía de Kino to Alamos

Critical Review by Bogdana Carpenter
SOURCE: A review of People on a Bridge, in World Literature Today, Vol. 66, No. 1, Winter, 1992, pp. 163-64.
[In the following review, Carpenter finds People on a Bridge "subtle, witty, and ironic."]
Long recognized in Poland as a leading voice in contemporary Polish poetry, Wislawa Szymborska has not achieved the same popularity in the English-speaking world as other poets of her generation such as Zbigniew Herbert and Tadeusz Rózewicz. Still, People on a Bridge is not the first introduction of Szymborska's verse to English readers. Czeslaw Milosz included poems by her in his seminal anthology Postwar Polish Poetry (1965), and in 1981 Princeton University Press published a selection of her poems translated by Magnus Krynski and Robert Maguire. Let us hope that the present volume, a welcome addition to those earlier translations, will help bring Szymborska the recognition that she...

Over the past two decades, the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) Center for Drug and Evaluation and Research (CDER) has been developing new, expedited pathways to help bring innovative medical products to market more efficiently. These pathways include fast track designation, accelerated approval, priority review and, more recently, breakthrough therapy. Through these expedited pathways, some products have been approved with fewer clinical data than traditionally are required.
A coalition of health advocacy groups are worried that too much of the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) funding comes from private industry.
Welcome to Regulatory Reconnaissance, your daily regulatory news and intelligence briefing.
Since 2007, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a small handful of special "priority review" vouchers which allow its recipient to expedite the review of any one of its new drug products. What are these vouchers, why is FDA issuing them and what benefit might they have for society? Find out in our latest Regulatory Explainer on the Priority Review Voucher system.
For the last few years, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has come under fire from advocates of new sunscreen ingredients who claim the agency has been dragging its feet at the expense of consumers.
As part of our ongoing series of Regulatory Explainers, we thought we would break this issue down to make it easier to understand.
Sunscreen ingredients are in a huge number of consumer skin products. Pick up almost any tube of lip balm, in fact, and you're likely to find active sunscreen ingredients such as avobenzone, octinoxate, oxybenzone. Plenty of lotions also contain these ingredients as do-of course-sunscreen products intended for people spending time in the direct sun, such as at the beach.
Sunscreen ingredients are primarily regulated under what's known as a monograph, which is essentially a standard for active ingredients. If a monograph has been issued for a product, all a company has to do is show that it has met the standards of that monograph to be allowed on the market.
The monograph process allows companies to avoid other more rigorous regulatory pathways, such as the New Drug Approval (NDA) process for new ingredients, the Abbreviated New Drug Approval (ANDA) process for generic drugs, or the lengthy and rarely used Time-and-Extent Application (TEA) process for products that have long been on the market.
Because FDA regulates sunscreen ingredients as drugs, each active ingredient must be approved before it can be allowed on the market. The overwhelming majority-if not all-of these ingredients are regulated under a series of monographs which have been approved over the past several decades.
For example, FDA approved several final monographs for sunscreen ingredients in May 1999, bringing to a close a process that had started in August 1978. With the exception of some technical amendments made to the monographs in June 2003 and changes to labeling requirements, FDA has not approved any new sunscreen ingredients through the monograph process since 1999.
FDA's sunscreen monograph may be found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 21 CFR 352.
Twenty-four Ingredients are now regulated by FDA under its various final monographs.
Sunscreen Ingredients Regulated by OTC Monograph (21 CFR 352.10)
Several have, all through the Time and Extent process. Let's explain the TEA process first.
TEA applications are meant to allow companies to bring technically-new ingredients to US consumers based on their profile of use in other countries.
For example, if a sunscreen ingredient had been in use for five years in the EU, a company could apply for approval in the US based on the product's use abroad, allowing it to bypass FDA's extensive (and expensive) clinical trial requirements, which generally call for at least two Phase III clinical trials to prove the safety and efficacy of the product. The underlying regulatory theory is that a product that is safe for consumers in one country is likely safe for the consumers of another.
TEA applications are regulated under 21 CFR 330.14, which explains the various standards the applications must meet in order to be considered.
For example, a drug subject to a TEA submission must have been on a market for a "material extent" and "for a material time," taken to mean at least five continuous years in the same country and in large quantities ("extent"). Some simple rundowns of the TEA process are also available on FDA's website.
TEA might save you costs on clinical trials, but it's not designed to be a shortcut. Sponsors of TEAs must undergo a five-part process, any part of which can experience lengthy delays:
At least eight sunscreen ingredients have applied for FDA approval under the TEA process:
As you can see, one of these ingredients has been under formal review for more than a decade, while three others have been sitting at the agency for between six, eight and nine years, respectively.
Advocates for the new sunscreen ingredients tend to cite four arguments when calling for FDA to approve these products.
The first is that the new ingredients have already been on the market for years-more than a decade in some cases-with no apparent issues, making their failure to obtain FDA approval all the more curious. The ingredients are available in Canada and Mexico, as well as parts of Europe, Asia and South America.
The second is argument is that the new ingredients are (purportedly) better. The combination of sunscreen ingredients offers wider spectrum protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays, which are the cause of sunburns and many skin cancers. They also reportedly allow for longer time periods of protection-a particular benefit for consumers who may be spending long periods of time in the sun and who might not remember to re-apply sunscreen every hour.
The third is that some of these ingredients are already approved in the US under more limited applications. L'Oreal's drug, ecamsule, is already approved for use in three products on the US market, having obtained approval under the New Drug Application (NDA) process. FDA approved one, L'Oreal's Anthelios SX, in 2006, touting its effectiveness against UVA and UVB radiation. The drug has been approved in Europe and Canada since 1993.
The fourth argument is one of regulatory certainty. If companies know that their competitors have been waiting for more than a decade to obtain approval for an ingredient, they argue, then companies will be reluctant to file their own applications since it will likely take so long to see a return on their initial investment. No new applications, no new or potentially better types of sunscreen.
FDA has been relatively silent on the issue, but has made a number of public statements defending its actions.
In November 2013, Janet Woodcock, director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) told House legislators that FDA is "more frustrated than the manufacturers are" about the delays, citing the difficult process of establishing new regulations to issue final monographs.
"They're backlogged and slow to get through," she added, saying that on average this process takes between six and eight years to complete.
And as reported by The Tan Sheet, in other cases FDA has found the company's TEA submissions lacking, finding the submitted data "insufficient to affirm the safety" of the products. A lack of acceptable data was also cited by experts consulted by The Wall Street Journalfor a May 2013 article.
Regulatory standards differ widely between countries, and what is acceptable to regulators in Europe or Canada is not always acceptable to US regulators. And as noted by some consumer watchdog groups, sunscreen ingredients that aren't effective can have dangerous implications for consumers, who may later develop skin cancer. Other ingredients can cause allergic reactions or other adverse reactions.
Delays to seek out more conclusive safety and efficacy data, in other words, aren't always a bad thing.
"FDA recognizes the public health importance of sunscreen use, and has prioritized its review of the safety and effectiveness of additional sunscreen ingredients, and is proceeding as quickly as practicable given available review resources and competing public health responsibilities," FDA spokeswoman Andrea Fischer told Focus. "FDA remains committed to making sunscreens containing additional ingredients available to consumers if sufficient data to establish that they are generally recognized as safe and effective for use in over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreens are provided."
In March 2013, manufacturers launched a new legislative-focused group known as the PASS Coalition, standing for Public Access to Sunscreens. The group said its aim is to bring together stakeholders-including FDA-to "Establish a framework for approval of the next generation of UV light active filters for over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreens."
"The current pre-market review process needs to be reformed to ensure timely review and add transparency and predictability," the group writes on its website.
The group noted that recent research indicated that as many as one in 10 people in the US will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, making access to more effective sunscreens all the more important.
The PASS Coalition is recommending that the TEA process be reformed and that FDA be given the resources it needs to process current and future applications.
Legislators have been slowly ratcheting up pressure on FDA for several years.
In 2013, several legislators pressed FDA on the issue at various times, such as Sen. Charles Schumer, Reps. John Dingell and Ed Whitfield and Sen. Diane Feinstein, as well as others.
In March 2014, legislators in the House (H.R.4250) and Senate (S.2141) released companion versions of legislation known as the Sunscreen Innovation Act (SIA).
The bills call for FDA to review all sunscreen ingredients that would be eligible under the TEA process through an expedited process. That process would see applications reviewed in a timeframe measuring months-not years. Even accounting for delays (such as FDA seeking additional data), most submissions would likely be able to receive approval within two years of submission.
The law calls for existing applications to be reviewed within 8 months, and new submissions to be reviewed within 11 months, reports FDA Law Blog.
An advisory committee would also review all drugs submitted through the sunscreen TEA pathway.
FDA would also be charged with developing testing and labeling requirements for sunscreens sold as an aerosol, and also charged to revisit whether sunscreen may be labeled with a sun protection factor (SPF) greater than the current limit of 50.
FDA is currently preparing its own overhaul of the OTC drug monograph system, so it's possible that change will come even if the above legislation is never passed.
FDA's 25-26 March 2014 hearing on the "Past, Present and Future" of the OTC monograph system is set to explore how the current monograph system can be improved with an eye on making it faster, easier and more efficient. While that process may take a year or longer to bear fruit, by FDA's own admission, the system seems to be broken and in need of change.

My husband and our friends spent hours in the small museum. When we arrived the museum was closed because the employee was ill, but we approached the librarian next door and she graciously opened up the museum for us and left us to look. The history contained in this small space is amazing and the helpfulness we experienced was wonderful.

Pimenta dioica (allspice)
Pimenta dioica flowers in a Tongan garden (Photo: Wikimedia Commons licensed under CC by 3.0)
Species information
Pimenta dioica (L.) Merr.
allspice, pimenta, pimento, Jamaica pepper
Widely cultivated in its natural range; not threatened.
Hillsides in Central America and the Caribbean.
Food flavouring and preservative, perfume, traditional medicine.
May cause allergic reactions in hypersensitive individuals.
About this species
Allspice is derived from the dried, unripe fruits of Pimenta dioica. It is mainly cultivated in, and exported from, Jamaica. It is also known as pimenta or pimento.
The first written record of what is probably allspice occurs in an entry for November 1492 in Christopher Columbus's journal of his first voyage. It describes how he showed pepper (Piper nigrum), brought from Spain, to indigenous Cubans and asked if they recognised it. The Cubans indicated that it grew locally. However, they were almost certainly referring to Pimenta dioica because true pepper, Piper nigrum, originates from Asia.
Allspice is an evergreen tree almost exclusively grown in the Western Hemisphere, where the species is native and regenerates easily. It has also been grown in South-East Asia but with less commercial success.
Pimenta dioica Lindl.

Geography and distribution
Pimenta dioica occurs naturally on hillsides of rainforests in Central America and the Caribbean, and has also been reported from Venezuela.
A tropical, evergreen tree, usually 7-10 m tall, but sometimes reaching 20 m, with a smooth, grey bark. Individual trees are functionally dioecious (plants are either male or female) although individual flowers are structurally hermaphrodite (have male and female parts within the same flower). The small, white flowers are held in compound inflorescences and are followed by green berries that turn purple when ripe.
Allspice is used to flavour a variety of dishes, including meat stews, sausages, pickles, cakes and puddings, and is also added to medicines. It is an important component of pimento dram, a Jamaican alcoholic drink, and liqueurs such as Benedictine and Chartreuse. An essential oil is distilled from the berries and leaves and used in soap, perfumes and aromatherapy.
Allspice is also used in traditional medicine to treat digestive disorders and as a remedy for corns, neuralgia and rheumatism. The oil has antioxidant, bactericidal and fungicidal activity, and is a stimulant and purgative. The wood is used for making walking sticks and umbrella handles.
This species at Kew
Pressed and dried specimens of Pimenta dioica are held in Kew's Herbarium, where they are available to researchers from around the world, by appointment. The details of one of these, including an image, can be seen online in the Herbarium Catalogue.
View details and image of specimen
Specimens of the fruits, leaves and oil, and several walking sticks made from the wood of Pimenta dioica are held in the Economic Botany Collection in the Sir Joseph Banks Building and are available to researchers by appointment.
DNA sequencing at Kew
Sequencing of some standard regions of DNA for Pimenta dioica has taken place as part of the Phylogeny of Tribe Myrteae (Myrtaceae) project currently underway at Kew. DNA was taken from the allspice plant growing in Kew's Palm House for this study.
The project is looking at evolutionary relationships within South American fleshy-fruited Myrtaceae, which are important for studies in the family and in South America and also for a much needed re-classification of the tribe.

White Heat (original 2011; edition 2011)
by Melanie McGrath
Work details
White Heat by M. J. McGrath (2011)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The first in a series with Edie Kiglatuk, a spunky Inuit teacher and hunting guide, who tries to find out who killed two guys who claimed to be hunting in the wilds of the Arctic. Of course, there was more to their stories, but in the meantime Edie's beloved step-son becomes embroiled and is a possible suspect. The reader learns a lot about Edie's family and community, and is eager for more in future books.
Interessiert dich die Arktis? Wolltest du schon immer mal wissen, wie es sich bei den Inuits lebt? Und Krimis gegenüber bist du auch nicht abgeneigt? Dann ist dieses Buch praktisch ein Muss :-) !
Edie, erfahrene Jägerin, verliert einen ihrer Gäste bei einer Exkursion. Alles deutet auf Mord hin, doch die Behördenvertreter zeigen nur wenig Interesse an einer weitergehenden Untersuchung. Die Angelegenheit wird als Jagdunfall zu den Akten gelegt, doch als kurz danach ein weiterer Gast verschwindet, für den Edies Stiefsohn Joe verantwortlich war und Joe sich unmittelbar darauf offenbar das Leben nimmt, ist Edies Jagdinstinkt geweckt. Sie beginnt mit der Suche nach den wahren Hintergründen und Verantwortlichen und bringt sich damit selbst, ohne es zu ahnen, in Lebensgefahr.
Wer einen reinen Krimi erwartet, womöglich sogar einen Thriller, wird sich bei dieser Lektüre mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit schwer tun. Denn einen umfangreichen Teil des Buches nehmen die Beschreibungen des arktischen Lebens ein. Mit Edie als zentraler Figur werden die Lebensverhältnisse der Inuits, ihr Umgang untereinander zwischen Freunden, Verwandten und mit den 'Südlern' erklärt. Wie es durch die unterschiedliche Auffassung von Recht und Gerechtigkeit zu Missverständnissen kommt, wie mühevoll versucht wird, sich an die moderne Welt anzupassen ohne die eigene Identität zu verlieren - all dies liest man mit Interesse und auch Spannung, doch wird die eigentliche Krimihandlung dadurch beinahe zum Nebenschauplatz degradiert.
Deshalb: Wer einen reinen Krimi lesen möchte, sollte lieber ein anderes Buch zur Hand nehmen. Alle anderen erwartet eine spannende und auch informative Lektüre und – jede Wette – wer sich von Mahlzeiten wie Robbenporridge, vergorenem Walrossdarm (igunaq), Blutsuppe und anderen Köstlichkeiten nicht abschrecken lässt, wird sich die Arktis auf die Liste der Länder setzen, die man unbedingt noch besuchen sollte.
This is an excellent first book by McGrath. Set in the Canadian Arctic region the main character is Edie Kiglatuk, a hunter and guide living with the traditions of the Inuit culture. This is a story of crime woven with the complexities of culture and of relationships. When a her ex husbands son dies, she sets out to solve the reason behind his death. A crime in the setting of snow, ice, seasons, culture, tradition, and greed. It is a well told tale which had me enthralled throughout. I would recommend this as a good read.
White Heat is one of the best evocations of place that I have read in a long, long time. I'm fortunate that I decided to read the book in the summer; otherwise, I might have gotten frostbite. McGrath paints a fascinating portrait of the Inuit people high up in the Canadian Arctic: what the typical village is like, the typical home, transportation, medicine, education, Inuit customs and history, and more. All this information blends seamlessly into the story. Some of the information is disturbing, some of it makes good appetite suppressants (I'll never visit the area to sample its cuisine), and all of it is fascinating.
Add in an intriguing mystery that has everything to do with the landscape, a remote chapter of its history, and bad guys whose motives are unclear, and you've got two-thirds of an excellent mystery.
The final third is the cast, and McGrath has created two very memorable characters in Sergeant Derek Palliser and Edie Kiglatuk. Palliser falls in love with the wrong women and spends a lot of time studying lemmings instead of doing police work, but that doesn't necessarily have a lot to do with how well he does his paying job. This man has depth.
What Edie Kiglatuk has goes way beyond mere depth. This woman is an ex-polar bear hunter-- one of the best in the entire area before she began drinking too much. To be a polar bear hunter, you have to be smart, you have to be able to think and react quickly, you have to know your terrain, and you have to be brave. Edie is all of these. She's also an excellent teacher, and I loved the scenes showing how she manages to teach her class of Inuit children how to survive in their own world as well as the world of the white man. If Edie has a flaw, it's her emotional entanglements, and those can and do lead her astray.
After reading the digital short story "Edie Kiglatuk's Christmas," I had the feeling that I would really enjoy the series, so I'm very glad I bought the first two books. When I'm ready to risk fictional frostbite once again, I have the second book, The Boy in the Snow, waiting for me.
So White Heat may take place in the most far-flung locale of any book I've read this year: Ellesmere Island in the Arctic, part of the Nunavut territory of Canada. The main character is Edie Kiglatuk, who is half Inuit, and she is a hunting guide and teacher who investigates the mysterious death of one outsider (a man she led on a hunting expedition) and the apparent suicide of her former stepson Joe. She works by herself for most of the book, in true amateur PI fashion, and part of the time she works with Derek Palliser, a member of the High Arctic Police Service who also happens to be part Inuit.
The setting is key: the people, the society, the outsiders who move or visit Ellesmere Island, the land. McGrath spends a lot of time describing Edie's travels during the investigation and what measures she takes to survive the cold, and those passages make the setting more accessible to someone like me who's never been to the Arctic.
I only have minor quibbles with the book, and those are that Edie's dialogue toward the end feels a bit preachy and that the pacing feels a bit slow in spots. I'm picky about PI novels because I've overdosed on them over the last twenty years. I go into a PI novel a bit skeptical that the protagonist can reach the conclusion on her own. That being said, I did enjoy this book a great deal.

Muay Thai trainers were employed extensively as San Shou trainers in its beginnings. Also they extensively use Thai pads in training as does every other striking sport (except boxing) - never heard of Kung Fu pads.
The early MT versus San Shou shows were extremely interesting as they showed a vast gulf in abilities between the Thai's and the Chinese. The Chinese got better quickly but credit where credit is due - and it's not due to Kung Fu.
Cung Lee may have been the poster boy for San Shou but I believe he never fought Thai nor the top ranked K-1 competitors and stayed the **** away from any of the top Thai stadiums - just like that other Kung Fu legend Bruce Lee.

HELP: Shock Bolt Sheared Off
I was trying to remove the rear shock on my 2004 R1150GS Adventure. The bolt just kept spinning but wouldn't come out. :scratch I put a little sideways English on it and the bolt came out. Minus the threads. :eek1
Not sure if the PO put too much torque on the bolt installing it or if it sheared while riding, no idea. Either way, there is too much of the bolt left in the swingarm to remove the rear shock.
I've tried an easy out, but (I suspect) because the bolt was Locktite'd in there, it won't come out.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get the bolt threads out of there?
Thanks in advance!! :thumb
That's a bummer! You might be able to use the fluted style of extractors that use drill guides. If you're lucky you will find a drill guide that will fit in the screw bore enough to help guide a drill on-center. If the guides are in between sizes then use the largest guide that will fit and wrap electrical tape or some metal shim material (a beer can come to mind) to increase the diameter of the guide until it fits snugly and centered in the bolt hole bore.
After drilling a straight hole then redrill the hole to the size of the largest flute extractor that will fit that leaves some meat. I'd probably use a flute bore of about 80% or 90% of the sheared bolt's outer diameter.
Before trying to remove the sheared bolt, do apply heat to the remainder of the bolt to release the Locktite. You may also pre-spray the remaining bolt with WD40 or some other solution to help break any corrosion that may exist. Pre-spraying with WD (or whatever you choose) does not hurt your chances of releasing the Locktite.
This kit might be useful,
I hope this offers some help. Proceed methodically. You really only get one good shot at repairing this w/o removing the swingarm for some laser work.
I have faith in this technique, so good luck. :thumb
I'm thinking abuot using a dremel to cut through one of the aluminum(?) spacers which holds the shock in place. That way I can get teh shock out and get better access to the broken off threads. Thoughts?
Looks like this:
I believe the threads come out about as far into the spacer as the blue line. I'm thinking of cutting the spacers where the red line is.
I'd cut the spacer on the left side to make sure you leave as much bolt/thread whatever as possible.
If you're going to try the drill and EZout route, use a transfer punch to mark the center of the bolt for drilling. McMaster has metric transfer punches - measure the head of the broken bolt and buy that size. When you do get in there with the ezout, heat the swingarm to help soften the loctite and expand the aluminum around the bolt. I'd use a heat gun instead of a torch, the temperature can be set lower and less likely to disturb the temper of the Aluminum than a flame.
TE, thanks for the tip. I'll look into that when it comes time to remove the broken off threads. I may have a pro do that.
Doh! I don't have anything useful to add, but I'm sending you good juju.
Rock on with your socks on!
P.S. I second the need for heat. That loctite can be pretty damn strong.
As a pro, I'd prefer that you didn't mangle anymore...leave the shock alone and take the pro your swingarm with the shock stuck right where it is.
+1 on the Pro
DIY is taking a chance on real risk to very Expensive repair parts. Trailer your bike to a local machine shop where they can guarantee results for a lot less than the cost of parts if you slip and screw it up. They handle this kind of issue on a regular basis and will have all the tools necessary to do it right. Just my $0.02
Cut in the same area on the left as the red line is on the right.
Your goal was to remove the shock and seems to still be your first priority. Given the broken bolt, you may want to consider making fixing the bolt as job #1. Cutting the bolt may make the job of removal more difficult. I'd trailer it to a machine shop first, then continue with your shock project after this is fixed.
My 2 cents........
How about a bushing that is a close fit in the swing arm with a hole in the center the diameter of the bolt. Use it to guide a drill bit to drill out the bolt. A lot of lubrication, a lot of pressure and very slow drill speed. You could also use a series of bushings starting with a small pilot hole. When you get near the final size, try a left hand drill. Perhaps the heat from the drilling will have softened e thread lock enough for the left hand bit to spin the remains of the bolt out. Otherwise, drill until all that remains of the bolt is a coil of threads in the swing arm.
Remove the drill from the hole and clean out the remains often. I'd use motor oil if cutting fluid isn't easy to find. I'd leave the shock in place.
You need to contact Gillafunk. He'll know what to do. :lol2
If you're not confident with what you're doing I'd quit right now and take it to the dealership or where ever and have them deal with it. I'm sure they have experience.
Cutting to the left of that spacer would get the shock out of the way and give you room to work. There may be enough of a stub sticking out to get some vice grips on it. Heck once the weight of the shock and rear of the bike is off the bolt may come out easy. (Ever hopeful) There's not going to be much room in there for an easy out. I'd rather try to weld a nut onto the bolt and try that first. The heat from the welding should take care of any loctite in there. I've never put locktite on that bolt myself so who knows.
That bolt is under a lot of stress. I've had mine bend a few times. I discover it when I'm taking the shock out for some reason. Some guys that ride a lot harder than I do off road complain of bending that bolt a lot. Some of them even replace the bolt with something harder. I figure it's easier to deal with a banana shaped bolt than a broken one like that.
Good luck man. If everything goes south a swing arm from Beemer Boneyard is $185.

Austin Davis' stint as a starting quarterback in the NFL is over after eight games. The St. Louis Rams have benched the second-year player in favor of veteran Shaun Hill, who started in Week 1 but was knocked out of the game with a thigh injury.

Wow, the NFC West just got crushed this weekend. You already knew about Carson Palmer tearing his ACL. This morning, we have reports that the Seahawks have lost defensive tackle Brandon Mebane for the year with a torn hamstring. He's probably the most important player in their front seven. And there are reports that Patrick Willis' turf toe is so bad that the 49ers will be forced to put him on injured reserve. Ugh. The Seahawks have Kevin Williams to plug in for Mebane, but depth is a serious problem on that defensive line.

Peter King still has faith in "the NFC's best team." Plus: how the Lions have eliminated "dumb mistakes," the Jets' keys to shutting down Pittsburgh's aerial attack, and the Bears' chances of turning their season around (spoiler: slim).

We all know that Thursday night football feels extra sloppy. And it logically seems like it should be extra sloppy, since players haven't had a full week to recover from Sunday's games. But as others have done before, Kevin Seifert has run numbers showing that Thursday games do not in fact feature more injuries or less scoring. There are more turnovers, but also fewer penalties and the same number of dropped passes as in other games.

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has reached a plea agreement with Texas prosecutors that will keep him out of jail. That does not mean he will be on an NFL field anytime soon.
Peterson, who was facing up to two years in prison on child abuse charges, has agreed to plea no contest to one count of misdemeanor reckless assault. Peterson will be placed on probation and will pay a $4,000 fine and serve 80 hours of community service. He also will take parenting classes, and if he completes his probation without incident, there won't be a conviction on his record.

My Eating Disorder – Addicted to Food
When I binged, I didn't feel anything but good. It felt so good to have a mouth full of food. And I wanted to swallow it as fast as possible so I could get more of that feeling, that taste when it's best, which is when it's fresh, when it first goes into my mouth. I could eat more and I could eat faster than anyone I knew, including those guys on TV in then hot dog eating contests.

My Eating Disorder
It is my third early memory of food that set the foundation for a lifelong, dysfunctional relationship with food. At age six I was a large framed, muscular child. My stepmother decided I was fat. Her solution was to withhold food. My brother and sister were allowed snacks after school. Not me. It didn't matter that I was hungry. No snack. I remember the hunger as physical and emotional pain.

Anima Mundi and The Dead Daisies in Rock por la Paz in Havana
Wednesday 25th February Anima Mundi will have the pleasure of performing along the rock band The Dead Daisies www.thedeaddaisies.comhttps://www.facebook.com/TheDeadDaisies at Maxim Rock as part of Rock por la Paz concert (Rock for Peace) as a first cultural exchange between Cuba and USA after the reestablishment of the relationship between both countries.
Best rock record of the year - CUBADISCO 2014
The Lamplighter winner of best rock record of the year
Concert review
"The Lamplighter, an Anima Mundi baby, delivered exactly nine months after their previous visit to the Netherlands! I know the album is a high quality recording and I know that these passionate Cubans are absolutely a high class live band."
"...it turned out that Emmanuel must had practised a lot to get the new album under control because he succeeded very well in singing his difficult vocal lines in front of a live audience."
"The mighty Manuel Govin was supported by Remco Engels (Mangrove) in the beautiful instrumental 'Endless Star' drawn on a separate drum. What had arisen spontaneously in 2012 has now expanded into a spectacular and intense drum clash."
Reviews of the new album The Lamplighter
"ANIMA MUNDI The Lamplighter: GREAT album for any PROG music fan! Very nice CD with magic artworks from famous artist Ed Unitsky invites listeners to discover the new music world..."
"Without any doubt I think this is the best album Anima Mundi has made. There is evidence of growth. The voice of Pirko Farrath is at least as charismatic as that of Sosa. His timbre is somewhat lower, but also has feeling and warmth."
"The Lamplighter appeared to be a true masterpiece..."
"...the entire album can be regarded to be one great highlight."
"The Lamplighter is undoubtedly the most accomplished album of our favourite Cuban: a spiritual quest told in two parts and two perfectly complementary moods!"
"Anima Mundi remains faithful to the sound that made them become well known and they do well. The Lamplighter is a great album."
"The album opens up the eyes and ears again towards symphonic progressiveness. Why? Because of the beauty of the album and the touching emotions that the band radiate."
"I do miss Carlos Sosa's vocals on this album. However, Farrath's vocals fit more with the new direction AM is pursuing with this album."
New Album The Lamplighter
The 15th of June will be the release of the 4th studio album (concept album) The Lamplighter. You can already place your order at our webshop. The album will be shipped Monday the 17th of June.

It's been years since a new play came out of the blue and knocked me over like a stroke of theatrical lightning.
..This is a world class production, the most memorable play I have seen since the original Orphans at Steppenwolf in Chicago in 1985. Yes, you read that right, the best play I have seen in 25 years. ... this is the sort of human interest story that capture the interest of both Broadway and filmmakers. ...

Endless Sea
Prairie Nocturne
"[Elena Hartwell's] script excels at retaining the book's language and the spirit of Doig's land and people.
"Montana of the 1920s may be the land of wide open spaces, but in [Elena Hartwell's] reverent and moving adaptation of Ivan Doig's novel, Prairie Nocturne, the prairie town is crowded with ghosts.
Ivan Doig is one of the great ones, and I can say that despite the fact I've never read a single word he's written, because I have seen Book-It Repertory's new production of Prairie Nocturne.
--Micheal Dare click here for the full review
Prairie Nocturne benefits from a strong adaptation by Elena Hartwell ... Ms Hartwell does an admirable job with condensing the thickly plotted novel ... the pacing and emotion created are lyrical and majestic."

Playwright Elena Hartwell's world premiere work at the Rep...
"Hartwell's play excelled in its execution of poignant, parallel themes. The playwright managed to imbue her work with messages on the intangibles of life, death, love and happiness, all on the canvass of a realistic, simple plot, fairly uncomplicated characters and entertaining dialogue. The intriguingly odd title couldn't be more fitting. When the applause set in at the close of the second act, it was certainly more than well deserved."

Journal Sentinel book editor Jim Higgins highlights things worth reading, in print and online
Author Visit: Talkin' New York, Bob Dylan (with handy maps)
Ramblin' outa the wild West
Leavin' the towns I love the best
Thought I'd seen some ups and downs
'Til I come into New York town
"Talkin' New York," Bob Dylan
As June Skinner Sawyers points out in her new book, Robert Zimmerman was born in Duluth and raised in Hibbing, Minn., "but he was reborn as Bob Dylan in New York." "Bob Dylan: New York" (Roaring Forties Press, $14.95)" is her historical travelogue of his time in the big city, with a focus on his early '60s years in the city, particularly in Greenwich Village.
The author will visit Milwaukee's east side May 11 on her bookstore tour.
On the book's three introductory maps, Skinner Sawyers plots 55 places where Dylan performed, hung out or lived during his times in New York, including such famous spots as the Gaslight Cafe, Gerde's Folk City, the White Horse Tavern and the Bottom Line. Some are defunct now, but she tells where they were, in case you want to cruise the neighborhood and soak in any lingering vibes.
"The cover shoot of Freewheelin' took place along Jones Street between Bleecker and West Fourth streets," Skinner Sawyers explains. "Considering that it is one of the most iconic album covers of the era, it is surprising that the photo session was largely unplanned. Columbia (Records) sent a photographer over the Dylan's apartment."
According to his girlfriend in those days, the late Suze Rotolo, who appears in the cover with the singer, Dylan "chose his 'rumpled' clothes for the shoot with great care. He was very deliberate about his appearance and spent an inordinate amount of time looking at himself in the mirror, 'trying on one wrinkled article of clothing after another, until it all came together to look as if Bob had just gotten up and thrown something on.' "
Skinner Sawyers also points out less musical spots that were still important in his life, such as the Supreme Court building at 111 Centre St. in downtown Manhattan, where he legally changed his name on Aug. 2, 1962 to Bob Dylan.
In her book's acknowledgments, Skinner Sawyers thanks many scholars and memoirists who've written about Dylan, including such Dylanologists as Greil Marcus, Sean Wilentz and Christopher Ricks.
"Most gratifying of all was the time I spent walking up and down the streets of Manhattan, from Greenwich Village to the Upper West Side."
She will read from and sign her book at 7 p.m. May 11 at Boswell Book Company, 2559 N. Downer Ave.
By the way, the Sound Opinions radio show revisited Dylan's folkie, Greenwich Village years in a recent broadcast, available for streaming or download in podcast form.

PHILADELPHIA - OCTOBER 11: Michael Vick #7 of the Philadelphia Eagles gestures to fans after a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Lincoln Financial Field on October 11, 2009 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images)
People questioning how Michael Vick will fit into Chip Kelly's uptempo read option scheme need not worry about whether or not Vick can still scare defenses with his legs. Vick will be 33 next month, but today showed he can still outrun the best of them. According to Thacover2 via a source close to the situation, LeSean McCoy had been on Vick's case for weeks now, calling him "old man," and constantly challenging him to a foot race. Today Vick apparently got fed up, and asked head coach Chip Kelly if he could settle the argument with McCoy in an old-fashioned 40 yard dash. Kelly line the two teammates up and they raced. Eagles punter Colt Anderson was the first to let social media how things went. Vick just beat Shady in a 40 yard race. @mikevick — Colt Anderson (@AndersonColt) May 2, 2013 Vick took to Twitter as well to brag, and according to teammates and folks at the scene, Vick smoked Shady McCoy by more than five yards. So today at the field 1 of my teammates called me old & bagged to race me in the 40yd dash. Anybody want to guess which player? #BirdGang— Mike Vick (@MikeVick)May 02, 2013 Beat him by a few yards too lol #SpeedKILLS— Mike Vick (@MikeVick) May 02, 2013 I'm not at all shocked that Vick can still run a 4.5 40 yard dash. Now if he can just hold on to the football and stay healthy.

In SharePoint 2007, upgrading a Web Part to a new version number was a bit complicated. But as Maurice Prather nicely explains in this article, this has become much simpler in SharePoint 2010. Although, due to a small bug, again described by Maurice in another great article, taking advantage of this in existing projects requires a bit of luck. If your public key token contains one or more byte pairs with a leading 0, you are not so lucky. As Maurice explains, the 0 will be stripped from the PublicKeyToken attribute of the BindingRedirect element in web.config. This will of course cause the binding redirect to fail, and the Web Part will render an error message.
I was a bit surprised to see that this was not fixed in SP1, but luckily we didn't have to wait that much longer. I have just tested this after installing the June CU and now it works as it should! I followed these steps:

Falls a little short!
Thsi app has great potential but has is not there yet. The app does a good job for the most part but the following items are frustrating:
- The app crashes OFTEN!!
- When you reset the squares it also resets all the names in your name lits. Having to enter all names again is very frustrating.
- Can not have multiple games going at the same time.
- Can not allocate different pay outs per quarter or make the final payout higher.
- Can not pick squares and then randomly distribute numbers on the X & Y axis.
- Would be nice if the score automaticly updated based on the live game scores, This one might be a little tricky...
I was excited about this app because when ever I am watching a game we usually have a game of squares going. Hopefully befre next season you wil get the bugs out of it....
Don't do it!
This app is useless. If you only have 9 friends and you want to invest 10x what your squares cost, be my guest. Otherwise, go back to a sharpie and posterboard.
All this app does is freeze on me. May I please have my .99 back?

The study found men are likely to book treatment appointments every month, more than any other area of the UK, for anything from massages to topping up their suntans or having a haircut and colouring.
According to Salon Services' Beautiful Britain report, which surveyed more than 2200 hair and beauty professionals, men from north of the Border are spending £1038 a year. The figure includes on average 18 tan "top-ups".
Meanwhile, women are paying £1099 over the same period on salon treatments. The boom has helped the industry, with almost half of hair and beauty professions in Scotland saying they will hire more staff this year. It is estimated that could be worth more than 2100 jobs to the economy.
Edinburgh salon owner Philip Politi said: "Like all small businesses in Scotland, the past few years have been challenging, but we're starting to see customer confidence return."

Originally written on Nightmare on Helm Street | Last updated 1/20/13
The season opener is in the books and the Red Wings played like trash. The Blues came to play and the Red Wings were completely unprepared. Sad. The defense was a big letdown. Quincey in particular had a bad night. Blues rookie Vladimir Tarasenko humiliated him over and over again. It's not all on Quincey, though. Not by a long shot. None of the defensemen played well tonight. Blues forwards were able to get behind the defense way too easily and it led to 3 breakaway goals. Hit the jump for the rest of the recap: As for the forwards, they were tossed around like rag dolls tonight. Datsyuk actually seemed rusty despite having played all season in Russia. Brunner didn't disappoint as far as effort. Skating was an issue. The Blues got to every loose puck tonight. Howard did his best, but it was a shooting gallery out there. Special teams were terrible. Couldn't kill a penalty and they gave up a shorthanded goal. Red Wings dominated faceoffs. Have to build on something, right? I have nothing else to say about the team, but want to make one thing perfectly clear: This is not "Life after Lidstrom." This is life when your team doesn't show up. We could have had Lidstrom out there along with Suter, Parise, Nash and whoever else you guys wanted this offseason and the result would have been the same because they were not prepared. When one or two guys don't show up, that's on them. When it's the entire team, that's on the coach. I don't think the Wings will keep getting blown out, but if they don't bring any effort, Mike Babcock will be job hunting before March. Next game is Monday night against the Blue Jackets. LGRW
