text: Hebron Trail Reviews Return to the Hebron Trail page Submit a Review good trails for horses By kande230 in May, 2015 Went to the Hebron trail today, if you are bringing horses the only place to park and unload is at the North Branch parking lot near Genoa City limits. Otherwise trails are well maintained and beautiful scenery. Beautiful Ride, Bad Signs By michael.kinder.923 in April, 2015 The trail delivers everything you read in the description. Its truly breathtaking. However, heading west, the trail has a sign, that clearly reads "Trail Ends" at Lange Rd, with no signs indicating that it zig zags to the tracks. We wound up taking 173 to the ice cream parlor, and 173 back to praire trail. It was the most difficult part of the ride thanks to heavy wind. Love the trail, but would love even more to see better signs for those (like myself) that are not familiar with this beautiful spacious area. By megturner in September, 2014 Beautiful trail. Bonus: ice cream in Hebron. Storm damage By thagert28 in June, 2014 Trees down between mile marker 27 and 27.5 currently blocking the trail! In Rail/Trail language: "Just Right" By dcrzmh in September, 2013 The Hebron Trail is the Rail/Trail I rode this September, 2013 Saturday morning. Just what you expect and just what you should get from a Rail/Trail. Starting on the east end of Hebron, IL (East and West are about 3 blocks apart)I headed east on a flat, well maintained former railroad right of way. Fall colors were just starting to show and some leaves had fallen, which required bike riders to watch the trail more closely for rodent holes and small "washouts". However, the trail was in good shape and unusually wide for a Rail/Trail. Even when the trail broke out of the village tree cover the trail was flat, low and protected on both sides by tall bushes and grasses. A prevailing crosswind was mostly unnoticeable along the open portions of the trip. The Hebron Trail jumped off the right of way for a short time about mid trip, but the change was marked and navigated with ease. The Hebron Trail terminated as highlighted in the descriptions included with TrailLink, however one could pedal across the road and enter the North Branch park of the McHenry County Forest Conservatory and continue through the large open space (limestone trail provided) up and over the field and merge with the Northern end of the Prairie Path just south of Genoa City. I biked up to the north end of the Prairie Path then tried some of the southbound trail, but that trip will be another story. The Hebron Trail was 5 plus miles of well managed former railroad road bed, some parking was available at a couple of intersections and restrooms were available at both ends. It was a ride that was "Just Right". Hebron Trail By jschlau in August, 2010 Rode the Hebron Trail on Aug 5th, 2010 as part of the Grand Illinois Trail. In spite of recent heavy rains in northern IL, the trail was in good condition for riding a loaded mountain bike and generally well shaded. There are numerous stores in Hebron. Not a review but a request By steve ignots in July, 2010 I friend and I plan to ride from East Dundee to Lake Geneva, WI. Up the Fox River Trail to the Prairier, over to Hebron and north to Lake Geneva. The question is once on Hebron what's the best road to take north to Lake Geneva? Steve Nice Trail By 850120 in November, 2008 I rode this trail in November and found it very interesting. I am 62 years old and found it to be an easy trail to ride. Will ride the trail again. Would like to ride it again during the summer months. I began my ride in Richmond on the Prairie Trail. I did find the connecting trail between the Prairie Trail and Hebron Trail to be some what difficult. It did have a lot of loose gravel. When I do it again I will park at the Trail Head lot on Keystone Road. Ron Krich

Advice & Support
A premature
delivery may happen suddenly or after days or weeks of waiting and worrying. If
you know you may deliver early, you, your partner, and your doctor can prepare
for a premature birth.
You and your
premature infant (preemie) are considered high-risk
during preterm labor. This means that you will have less freedom, both to make
birth-related decisions and to move about freely. You can expect the
As soon as
umbilical cord is cut, the neonatal staff will
watch over and stabilize your infant. If your infant is less than 36 weeks'
gestation at birth, they may move him or her to the neonatal
intensive care unit (NICU) for observation and specialized care. If you deliver in a hospital that has no NICU, your infant may need to be taken to another hospital.
During the first hours and
days, your infant will adjust to living outside of the maternal "life-support
system." This is a time when birth defects and complications of prematurity
often become apparent.
If your infant is
born between 22 and 25 completed weeks of pregnancy (extreme prematurity), you
likely will be faced with some
difficult decisions during the first month
after the birth. These
personal stories may help you make your decision.
While the
neonatal staff attends to your infant, the obstetric staff will care for you.
Depending on your condition, this will take
at least a few hours. Meanwhile, your birth partner may want to go with your
infant to the NICU.
Before your breast milk comes in (3 or 4 days
after childbirth), you will be asked to decide whether you plan
to breast-feed or bottle-feed your premature infant. Formula does not give your infant added
protection from early infection, so strongly consider pumping
milk for your infant for at least the first weeks of life. If
you decide to breast-feed, expect at first to pump milk for feedings until your
infant is mature enough to feed orally.
lactation consultant can be very helpful with pumping
and breast-feeding questions and problems, both before and after the birth.

Voter Turnout Efforts Going Full Steam In Wisconsin
Originally published on Mon October 29, 2012 5:15 pm
By Don Gonyea
Wisconsin is in the small group of remaining battleground states that could determine the outcome of the presidential election. Turnout operations are an important part of the Mitt Romney and President Obama campaigns in all the critical states. But in Wisconsin, get-out-the-vote efforts grew out of the state's hard-fought gubernatorial recall election.

26 year old man | Linthicum Heights, MD, USA | Seeking women 18-35 within 50 miles
Looking for a girlfriend, but if I walk away with a friend I won't complain. :)
I'm a fun loving guy that enjoys life. I've had a bunch of bad relationships and now I just want a good one. I'm very athletic, I love sports. I love music, any music. Comic books, video games, nerd stuff are all interests of mine, I have a bit of a nerdy side. So, I'd like to think of myself as a very well rounded individual. Get to know me! I'm pretty fun. :) I play football about 40 weeks a year, and I love running.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses, Other
I've never had any pets. I like animals but I grew up in a household with parents who were both allergic to fur.
I love to travel but sadly haven't been anywhere of note. I've been all up and down the east coast, and thats about it... I would love to go to Italy or Germany.
I like to watch cartoons on TV, I'm not a big TV person so when I do watch I'd prefer something less serious.I love food. I love to cook and to eat!!
I love sports. I'm not picky when it comes to fun. I'll try anything once. I don't mind making a fool of myself, as long as its in the interest of fun.
The last thing I read is called "A Book of Five Rings." I love the samurai culture and the book was written by Miyamoto Musashi, arguably the greatest samurai ever, about his philosophy on life.

"NVIDIA X Server Settings" Menu Item Exits to Login Screen
1 Attachment(s)
I am using SimplyMepis 6 (kernel 2.6.15-26-386) on an Anthlon 64 dual core computer. I downloaded and installed this driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9629-pkg1.run and all seemed to go well.
I have a couple of problems.
Firstly, there is installed on my Start->System submenu an item called "NVIDIA X Server Settings". When I click on it, my monitor switches quickly from black to many jumbled colors and then I get exited to my KDE login screen. This leads me to believe that there is something wrong with my settings (and perhaps they are not being used at all).
Secondly, I am trying to use aixgl and beryl. When I type beryl into a terminal, all the title bars on the open windows freeze and I can't move them around or close them (by clicking on the x) in the title bar, although I can type into them and click with the mouse.
Are these problems related?
Sorry but I don't know much about video. I have been working with Linux for about 4 years but I am an accountant and not a programmer.
Can anyone help me? My xorg.conf file is attached.
Many thanks.
Bill Dika

Israel is among a number of Middle Eastern and Muslim nations where the United States plans to shut its embassies on Aug. 4 in the face of a terrorist threat.
"The Department of State has instructed certain U.S. Embassies and Consulates to remain closed or to suspend operations on Sunday, August 4," said a notice that was sent to U.S. citizens in Israel. "The Department has been apprised of information that, out of an abundance of caution and care for our employees and others who may be visiting our installations, indicates we should institute these precautionary steps. It is possible we may have additional days of closings as well, depending on our analysis."
NBC quoted unnamed "U.S. officials" as saying that the threat was al-Qaida related.
Reports on Twitter said similar messages had gone out to Americans in Afghanistan, Qatar, Egypt and Jordan, and NBC also listed Bangladesh, Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar.
The email message did not specify the threat, but linked to a February posting on the State Department's website that lists al Qaida and Hezbollah as potential threats to Americans in the region.

Karen Hughes' New Mission to Improve America's Image Overseas
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
TERENCE SMITH: By nominating Karen Hughes as undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, President Bush has tapped one of his closest and most trusted advisors for a difficult job. At his press conference this morning, the president emphasized the importance he is placing on improving America's image abroad, especially in the Middle East.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: It's very important for us to have a message to counteract what is coming out of the Arab media, in particular, especially on the issue of Israel, some of it coming out of our strong and unwavering friendship with Israel. You know, Israel is an easy target for some of the media in the Middle East. If you're a friend of Israel, you become a target.
TERENCE SMITH: On Monday, appearing with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Karen Hughes described her own view of the job ahead.
KAREN HUGHES: I view America's public diplomacy as a partnership for progress, an opportunity to work with other nations and peoples to replace oppression with opportunity, tyranny with tolerance, and ultimately to overcome hate with hope.
TERENCE SMITH: Marketing America overseas is not new to this administration. In his first term, following the invasion of Afghanistan, the president devoted his first primetime news conference to laying out the goals of a new information offensive.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: We have got to do a better job of making our case. We've got to do a better job of explaining to the people in the Middle East, for example, that we don't fight a war against Islam or Muslims; we don't hold any religion accountable. We're fighting evil.
KAREN HUGHES: Documenting the misstatements that have been made by the Taliban…
TERENCE SMITH: Karen Hughes, then counselor to the president, ran the White House message war room and helped push the government's message on Arab satellite networks, especially al Jazeera, with its viewership of some 40 million.
As part of those early public diplomacy efforts, the administration also named Madison Avenue ad executive Charlotte Beers as its first Undersecretary Of State For Public Diplomacy.
AD SPOKESMAN: Religious freedom here is something very important and no one ever bothered us.
TERENCE SMITH: Then came television ads selling life in America. And a new radio network, Sawa, a mixture of western and Middle Eastern music and talk in Arabic.
SPOKESMAN: Stand by 45 seconds. Cue music and take four.
TERENCE SMITH: In 2004, the government began funding al Hurra, a 24-hour satellite television channel based outside Washington that broadcasts news and entertainment to 22 countries across the Arab world. Charlotte Beers left her post after 17 months. Veteran State Department operative Margaret Tutwiler came in after the post was vacant for eight months. She left after only six months.
TERENCE SMITH: Despite the U.S. efforts and substantially increased funding, Karen Hughes faces a formidable task. Recent polls show a sharp rise in anti-American sentiment amongst Arabs and Muslims since 2002.
TERENCE SMITH: Joining me to discuss the nomination of Karen Hughes and the progress of U.S. public diplomacy efforts are: Senator Richard Lugar, Republican of Indiana, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and Shibley Telhami, professor of government and politics at the University of Maryland and author of "The Stakes," about U.S policy in the Middle East; and Harold Pachios, a four-term member of the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy. He served as its chairman from 1999 until 2003. Welcome to you all.
Sen. Lugar, give us your reaction, if you will, to both the nomination of Karen Hughes, and your assessment of the problems that she's going to confront if she's approved by the Senate.
SEN. RICHARD LUGAR: I'm enthusiastic about the nomination. I believe that Karen Hughes is close to the President of the United States. His commitment to public diplomacy has always been strong, but she will be an instrument to making certain that those messages are conveyed from him.
I would say that the awesome work ahead of both the president and Karen Hughes cannot be underestimated. The polls in most countries indicate that the United States is not well regarded by most countries. This is shocking, and it's especially unfortunate in the Middle-Eastern context, but not confined to there– in Latin America, likewise, and in many European countries.
The president and this administration have tried various persons that you've already indicated. Senate Foreign Relations Committee has held numerous hearings, lamenting the fate of American public diplomacy, and there's been a vacancy for a while. So this is really refreshing.
I would say more money is going to be available to Karen Hughes, about a billion and a half dollars, the largest commitment our country has ever made to public diplomacy by $420 million for exchanges, cultural exchanges, educational exchanges, which most people believe are an important component of this.
But finally, there may be at least more of a story to tell. The media, quite apart from public diplomacy efforts, is pointing out al Jazeera has picked up in the Lebanese crowds, waving flags in behalf of democracy and Lebanese independence, and some other situations that perhaps al Jazeera has been less interested in the past. And this whole democracy wave is something not only to cover, but to describe, to inform. It may be contagious, and so the tide may be going with Karen Hughes as she commences her work.
TERENCE SMITH: Harold Pachios, the senator pointed out that, you know, she's the third person to fill this job in a little more than three years. What can Karen Hughes accomplish in your view that her predecessors could not?
HAROLD PACHIOS: Terry, she can accomplish, I think, a lot more than her predecessors simply because she's close to the center of power. Ed Murrow, when he was head of the United States Information Agency back in the 1960s, once said about public diplomacy that is influencing foreign publics that it is important for public diplomacy people to be at the takeoff on policy, and not just at the crash landing.
She will be there. She is the first person to serve in this post, and really the first person in many, many years, going way back to the USIA days, when…who has the ability to talk to the President of the United States on a regular basis about these things. Ultimately, whatever we do — exchange programs, radio, television you mentioned some of these– can't really turn the tide.
The chief public diplomist — public diplomatist of the United States is the President of the United States, and it starts there, and I think, frankly, this is a brilliant appointment. I think it's very good news. More than anything else, it shows that the president is extremely keen on changing this terrible perception of the United States abroad, and it can only be done by someone who's very close to him personally.
TERENCE SMITH: Shibley Telhami, the president pointed out in his news conference that much of the criticism in the Arab press of the United States stems from its policy on Israel. Is that your finding? I know that you conduct polling, and you stay abreast of attitudes in the Arab world. Is that your finding, and therefore is the problem the image or the policy?
SHIBLEY TELHAMI: Well, that's a really excellent question, because I think I agree with both speakers before that Karen Hughes is a good appointment in the sense that she will have access. It's essential that a person in that position have access to policymakers.
The real question is whether you have a philosophical change here, from seeing public diplomacy as just telling the world how good we are, selling America, to something more profound, which is to influencing the shaping of policy in a way that resonates with the rest of the world. That's essential, because if you look at public opinion polls, most of the public opinion is influenced by policy, not by images.
Let me give you an example. In my surveys about Arab media, I tried to find out whether there's a direct relationship, a statistical relationship, between what people watch and their attitudes towards the U.S. I could not find any significant statistical relationship. People who don't watch al Jazeera are as anti-American as people who do. People who have no satellite, people who watch CNN, tend to be as resentful. In the same way that you will find people who don't have Arab Television in Europe and Africa and Latin America who are resentful of America.
So the real issue here isn't really so much public diplomacy, seen as selling America, but finding a way where public diplomacy can help shape policy. And I think there are ways in which public diplomacy could be extremely helpful in the shaping of policy: number one, communicating America's message in a way that is trusted by the rest of the world. The collapse of trust today is the more profoundly important issue than just the unfavorable view of the U.S. You need a trusted message.
When you ask people "Do you trust America today," the vast majority don't believe what we say. They don't believe we're advocating democracy. That's something it can do. Communicating back to policymakers what resonates with the rest of the world. Policies are not ends in themselves; they're instruments for interest; and therefore public diplomacy should be listening to the outside world to help policymakers formulate the right policies to serve their interests.
TERENCE SMITH: Sen. Lugar, pick up on that point. Shibley Telhami says, in effect, the first issue is credibility.
SEN. RICHARD LUGAR: Of course he's right. There has to be credibility and trust. In America, we believe that we stand for that. To the extent that we compromise it, we do away, really, with the effectiveness of public diplomacy. But there are also– and I appreciated one of Shibley's points– there are all sorts of undercurrents in countries, leaving aside whatever may be al Jazeera or the networks.
For example, we had a hearing in the Foreign Relations Committee just today in which it was suggested that the people of most European countries, by a large majorities, would not be in favor of the European Union ending an arms embargo with China. This is an elite situation, by and large, with the arms industry or merchants in Europe.
Now, from time to time we way be appealing to public opinions, influencing other countries and their leadership simply because they are on the same wavelength with us, with regard to human rights, with regard to fairness, with regard to a number of moral virtues that we believe are a part of our foreign policy. And so as long as we stay on that track, people may disagree with us profoundly, but the trust factor cannot be overemphasized.
TERENCE SMITH: Harold Pachios, you have been on this Commission for some years now and have watched the progress of these efforts. Senator Lugar used a very large sum earlier; he said a billion and a half dollars. Is this country getting its money's worth?
HAROLD PACHIOS: Well, I don't know if they're getting their money's worth. Money's important. I think they're getting their money's worth for the money that's being spent, but I don't think the money is the issue, Terry.
Look, this is… we're talking about influencing people throughout the world, changing our global image. And it's not unlike domestic politics, frankly. We're the best in the world at trying to appeal to people. Politicians in the country know how to do that, and Karen Hughes knows how to do it, and you do it with both substance and message. And I think Karen Hughes, from what I've read about her, is a very substantive person, and she understands something about message.
So Shibley is correct: We're not going to just massage the message and change this at all. Policy is important. She knows that. And when you are making an appeal to a domestic audience, a constituency, you know that what you say, what your policies are, have an impact, and it's no different when we're talking about global audiences and a global constituency, which today the global constituency is critical to the achievement of American foreign policy goals because no longer do governments anywhere in the world, even authoritarian governments, do anything without basic public consent in their own countries.
TERENCE SMITH: Shibley Telhami, Karen Hughes is very close to the president and very influential, but she is not deeply experienced in matters of international relations, to say much about the Middle East and that area. Is that a problem? Is that an obstacle in terms of the job that she has in front of her and the people she wants to influence?
SHIBLEY TELHAMI: It's a potential obstacle, clearly you have to have clarity about what the problem is that you're facing, and without expertise, you'd have a tough time identifying the problem. The issue is not just countering "bad press" around the rest of the world; that's one of the problems.
So, but I think she's proven to be a capable operative. She's a learner. She's going to have to need a lot of experts around her. Clearly when we did this commission on public diplomacy, we found that very, very few people in the U.S. Government who speak the languages who are capable of communicating.
I think what we must understand is one of the functions of this office, aside from input into policy, is building bridges over time, in the long term. It's not just for short term. What you want to do is you want to build relations with society that are the reservoir of support in times of crisis. You know you're going to go through crisis with any country around the world. You're going to have confrontation, but you need to be able to sustain that, to sustain yourself through that, and to build that across time is really the important mission for any public diplomacy program to be effective.
TERENCE SMITH: All right. I'm afraid we're out of time. Sen. Lugar, Hal Pachios, and Shibley Telhami, thank you very much.

TheiPhoneMom April 8, 2014 Age, Books, Elementary, Features, Kindergarten, Preschoolers, Reviews, The iPhone Mom Likes ... 1 Comment Any reader of TheiPhoneMom.com will know that I am partial to interactive story apps. I love sharing stories with my children and watching their reaction as they interact with the characters on the iPad. You also know that I cannot get anything done without my audible app! Our love of stories is not contained to our devices though. We LOVE books! A day does not go by without every child and adult reading a physical book in our house. We started reading to each of our children as infants and enjoyed watching them drool on, chew on and eventually read the words along with us. Lately, I have been volunteering some time in my children's library at school. Working with the senior librarians has given me the wonderful opportunity to discover some fantastic books to bring home to the children. When the little ones don't want to get ready for bed, I pull out one of my new finds from the library, and they stop what they are doing and follow me to read…and then get clean! They take turns flipping the pages and ask for their favorites again and again. I'm excited to share with you some of our new favorite reads: And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon Everyone knows the nursey rhyme about the Cat and the Fiddle…but how many people know what happens after the Dish and Spoon run away? Our kids loved this tale about the cat, the cow and the dog and their adventure to find their missing friends. Interrupting Chicken It's little Chicken's bedtime but she wants just one good story before she goes to sleep. The interrupting chicken has her own version of each story to tell! The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! Another classic tail with a twist! (see a pattern here?) We know all about the huffing and puffing, but what about the sneezing? Was the wolf a big, bad wolf or is there another side to the story of The Three Little Pigs? Punctuation Takes a Vacation What happens when punctuation has had enough? This class of school kids find out that not much makes sense when the commas, question marks, periods, and apostrophes take a well-deserved vacation! Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale Knuffle Bunny is one of our favorites…and the Knuffle Bunny sequels are as well! Mo Willems brings to life the adventures of little Trixie and her bunny in this delightfully animated tale. Who knew going to the Laundromat could be so much fun…for us! Share these books with your favorite little ones and let me know how they liked them!

They many questions of how the story and character ended is the best part of reading and narrating stories to them. I also try to teach them how to read and to follow the story as I read and it is very helpful. first is that they come to understand words and how they are written and it is educative to their small minds. It seems you have different and many story books for kids there. I have interrupting Chicken among what you have written above. This is nice and am challenged to get more stories for them Reply Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London

While overseeing the spooky Phones4u shoot (the ads broke last week), Goff spotted an opportunity to make it on to the big screen by volunteering to play the role of the Carrie hand that smashes through the ground and performs the familiar Phones4u hand gesture at the end of the ad. Although Goff can be pleased with a flawless two-second performance, Diary suggests he gives his fingernails a trim and waits for some of those blemishes to heal before trying to land any other jobs as a hand model.

Celebrity cake maker Duff Goldman recently made news as the official inaugural cake maker for President Obama's Commander-In-Chief Ball. The First Family, more specifically Sasha and Malia, are reportedly big fans of Goldman.
Chances are you know Goldman from his popular show "Ace of Cakes," which was on the Food Network for about a decade. But what you may not know is that he's also a renaissance man of sorts. Not only is this celebrity chef and cake maker a rock star in the foodie world, but he's also a graffiti artist, metal sculptor, and bass player for indie band Sand Ox and Elvis tribute band Danger Ace.

Beyond his cake-making empire, he's also a self-professed gearhead. He has roots in the Motor City, where his dad worked at GM.
Motor Trend caught up with Goldman at his new location on trendy Melrose Ave. in West Hollywood called Cakemix and Charm City Cakes West. He recently expanded here and now spends his time between Los Angeles and Baltimore, where his original Charm City Cakes is and where the show was shot.

"I am a freakish gearhead," he says, sitting at a table in Cakemix, which allows people to decorate their own cakes and cupcakes. "I will take your car apart and put it back together. I can totally do that."
Goldman's public appeal is apparent, as he's extremely affable in person. After just one afternoon, you feel like he's your best friend. You want to pull up a chair, have one of the tasty cupcakes he sells, and hang out for hours kibitzing about the things gearheads love -- cars, taking apart cars, California racetracks, and that signature Ducati sound.
These days Goldman's daily driver in Los Angeles is either his 2010 Ford F-150 or Ducati Monster 1100S.
2010 Ford F-150
"The only reason I'm giving it an 8.5 is because of gas," Goldman says. "It uses a lot of gas. The other thing too, the gas tank is so big that when I fill up the tank, because gas is so expensive, I have to go to a different gas station to actually fill it up. Most gas stations will only let you pump $100 worth of gas. I want to fill it up. Especially on a road trip, because stopping for gas takes time. It's a big ass thing. But I don't have to fill it up that much." It costs him about $130 to fill up.
But despite the gas issue, Goldman loves the F-150. "That is the best road-tripping vehicle I have ever had in my life, and I road trip like a motherf--ker." And he should know. He road trips everywhere. "I've road tripped all over the U.S. I've probably driven by myself east to west, west to east at least 12 times," he says. "The whole country and then chunks of it, for fun, for work, for everything. I love to drive. Seriously, a road trip in that is the best truck."
When he moved to Los Angeles, he drove this F-150 from Baltimore, loading up all his stuff in the back. He wasn't worried about anyone stealing his stuff during the trip. "A lot of times people just don't mess with stuff," he says. "I sort of think like a criminal. I was a graffiti artist and I would go to Braintree [Massachusetts], because Braintree was where they kept the trains." He's never lost that graffiti artist mind-frame, he points out.
He also transports his Ducati Monster 1100S in the F-150 when he's going to Sonoma Raceway for track days.
2010 Ducati Monster 1100S
"I love it. I love Ducatis. Mine has a dry clutch. Everyone's like, 'What's wrong with your bike?' I'm like, 'Nothing.''' He says this last word with relish, then lets out a big laugh. He has two more Ducatis back home in Baltimore.
2010 Ducati Sport Classic GT 1000
"That is the best road-tripping motorcycle I've ever owned," Goldman says. "It's awesome. When I first bought that bike, I broke it in in a couple days. I took four days off and I drove all over Pennsylvania. I drove from Baltimore. All over. Just for fun. Just drove around. I had a backpack, a wallet, a GPS, my charger, and nothing else." And he stayed at random motels.
2009 Ducati Monster 696
The Monster is his daily driver back in Baltimore. It was a very nice tip given by a satisfied client for a cake he made. He doesn't give it a perfect 10 because "it's not my 1100," he says.
Car he learned to drive in
Cars are in his blood. Goldman was born in Detroit, where his dad was an economist for GM and used to play racquetball with John DeLorean. "So we had some awesome stuff. We had all kinds of cars growing up. We had one of everything," he says.
His dad put himself through college reselling cars he bought and fixed. "He would get it, fix it up, sell it," Goldman says. "He put himself through college buying Rolls-Royces, fixing them, and selling them. He would buy them in England, ship them over here, he went to UCLA, fix them up - all the steering wheels were on the right-hand side. He would sell them here and make a ton of money."
Goldman grew up in Sandwich, Massachusetts, where he learned how to drive in his friend's 1968 Ford Mustang. While he was a hockey player in high school, he was also busy rebuilding cars. At 16, he rebuilt the Mustang, which had a 200-cubic-inch straight six-cylinder engine.
To buy his first car, he saved up money from working at Sandwich Pizza and at a diner called the East Sandwich Grill as well as his job as a roofer and framer.
First car bought
He saved up enough money to buy a manual-equipped 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle. "I bought that for $500 from some lady," he says. "It was on the beach, it was all rusted out, and I had to duct tape the floor back together. That's how I taught myself how to weld."
He promptly rebuilt the entire car. "It was white and shitty and gross," he recalls. "I fixed it, fixed the floor, rebuilt the engine, it was that flat-four. I could literally pick it up, put it on my table and work on it. Took all the chrome off, painted the whole thing black. Painted all the chrome hot pink, and then put a kickin' system in there. I had such a loud stereo in my Bug that the lights would dim with the bass. It was amazing! It was the best."
He also added some fun things to the Beetle. "My Bug had an 8-ball shifter," he says, with a grin. "I was kind of a delinquent as a kid and there was a guy who had a Jaguar -- this was the early '90s -- and there was the big Jaguar symbol and I ripped it off his hood and I put it on the Bug."
Unfortunately, the VW got totaled when he wasn't paying attention while making a left turn and he hit an oncoming car.
Project Cars
Goldman has rebuilt his share of cars besides his Beetle back in high school. Some belonged to friends. "I built a '67 Mustang that was a 289 that was a convertible and there were only a couple of these made. It had a power roof," he recalls. "The '68 Mustang was my friend Greg's. Then he totaled that. The '67 was also his and he still has it."
Goldman paid a total of $200 for a 1978 and a 1979 Jeep Grand Wagoneer for a project car. "One had no motor and one had no transmission. I took the transmission out of the '78 and put it in the '79, parted out the '78, got rid of it. The '79 used way too much gas, so I had to get rid of that, because I'm in high school and you don't have the kind of money to fill up a '79 Jeep Grand Wagoneer."
But it was fun while he did drive the finished Jeep Wagoneer. "They're awesome," he says. "I sold it to this guy who put a plow on the front, which was great. With the money I made from that, a friend of mine gave me an '81 Rabbit."
