With its mintage of 33,500 pieces, the 1908 No Motto ten dollar has the lowest production after the 1911-D. While it is scarce, this issue is not quite as rare as its low mintage would seem to indicate, as a goodly number were apparently saved in the year of issue. PCGS and NGC have certified 500 or so examples in the lower Uncirculated grades of MS60 to MS62. Around 260 MS63 and MS64 coins have been graded, and fewer than 40 examples rate MS65. The services have seen 16 Premium Gems, a mere nine MS67s, and a solitary coin finer.
The Superb Gem we offer in the current lot displays full, dazzling luster on satiny surfaces. Beautiful medium orange-gold coloration is imbued with a greenish-gold tint, and a well executed strike translates into strong definition on the design elements. Rounding out the fantastic eye appeal of this specimen is the lack of any mentionable marks or alloy spots. For pedigree purposes, we mention a couple of inoffensive marks above the eagle's right (left facing) wing. Attributes such as those seen on this example led gold specialist David Akers to exclaim: "Top quality examples of this issue are definitely among the most attractive of the series." Population: 4 in 67, 0 finer (6/07).

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned complimentary from Influenster in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
When people find out that my family eats Real Food, I always get asked, "What do you eat?" I share a lot about how I like to cook homemade meals for my family. That is completely true. Sorry, no scandal here. I cook and my husband is constantly doing dishes because of all my cooking. You would probably laugh to see the two of us in our tiny kitchen. I'm cooking away and he follows behind me cleaning up. We bump into each other like crazy which is kind of OK because I still think the man I married is kind of cute. TMI? He drives me nuts when he doesn't KNOW that I was still using that spoon or bowl. Of course, I can't complain too much because the man does do dishes. I certainly don't want that to stop!
So.........that's a normal day when I have time to prepare meals sometime during my day. This precise execution only happens when I have time to meal plan. What happens when I go out of town and don't have time to plan and shop? Well......we usually have to scramble. And I mean scramble eggs. Scrambled eggs and whole wheat toast is the quickest Real Food meal of all time. Breakfast is always my go-to for when the planning comes unglued.
Enter the teenager..................Many of you have asked about what he eats and how he is adapting to our Real Food lifestyle? He probably is the one who has had to adapt the most. Most of his life has been spent eating fast and processed food. He didn't have the great beginning like I talked about in my last post. Add in that he is a bit of a picky eater and you can imagine the fun we've had.
As it turns out, he likes lots of healthy food. Of course, he also doesn't like a lot of healthy food. I've been experimenting a lot with him. Being a teenager he is, of course, brutally honest. I like that about him. I don't have to worry that he is just being nice to protect my feelings. If it tastes awful to him, he will tell me.
That's why I jumped up and down when he declared that he liked Annie's Homegrown White Cheddar Mac and Cheese. Sure it's not homemade, but it is made with some pretty good ingredients. My favorite of course, is no artificial colors. If you have been following me, you know that this is a big deal for me. Check it out here if you need to catch up.
I enrolled in a brand testing program through Influenster. When I saw that they sent me the Microwave White Cheddar Mac and Cheese, I was thrilled to be able to give an honest review of this. I will never be anything, but honest. I still think homemade is best, but Annie's Microwave White Cheddar Mac and Cheese is a nice substitute when time is tight. My son loves that he can make this quickly after football practice when he needs to run right back out of the house to his Scout meeting. I wish they would get rid of the added sugar, but since I have greatly reduced my family's overall sugar consumption, I figure once in a while is OK. The portion is small for him, so I encourage him to supplement it with a small sandwich and fruit and/or veggies. He burns a lot of calories at football each day.
On Annie's website they state one of their Core Values as: " Annie's sources only from places and people we trust, with high emphasis on quality, as well as agricultural and environmental sustainability. We believe in transparency. " That speaks volumes to me as a consumer who desires high quality food. I also love that they participate in advocacy groups, such as, NonGMO Project and Just Label It! As a consumer who likes to vote with her shopping dollars, I am happy to put my money into their company.
And...........the teenager will eat it. That's the biggest vote of all. #RealCheese
Now it's your turn..........What is important to you when you go to the grocery store? Do you research the companies your are buying from? Does taste reign supreme? What about the all-mighty buck...........does that win every time? What is your favorite Annie's Homegrown product?
I can't wait to hear from you. Leave me a comment here and I invite you to join the fun on our various social media. Just join us by using the various buttons at the top of the page. Lots more recipes, tips and fun to be had by all! If you are new to the blog........I invite you to check out our Weekly Challenges. This is a great systematic way to to eat more of a Real Food diet and eliminate processed food. This is the approach my family took to overhauling our diet. Remember......small changes can create dramatic changes to your overall health. Good luck!

I'm currently writing from my new apartment in the Spanish Towers in Boulder, Colorado. I could not be happier to be back.
Being back in Boulder means that the end of the summer is just around the corner, and this means that I will have to say goodbye to my job at the Capitol.
How do I say goodbye to a job that had the best hours, gave me great experience and was in a prime location? Luckily, I have Boulder to come home to so I suppose it will make the goodbyes a little easier.
Something else that will make saying goodbye to the Capitol a little easier is saying hello to all of my favorite Boulder eateries.
A few of my favorite restaurants—
For Breakfast:
The Buff. From steak and eggs to the classic pancake breakfast, you will definitely find your new favorite breakfast here. If you don't believe me, maybe the host of Man vs. Food will convince you.
For Lunch:
Salvaggio's. Always. There are no words to describe this magical sandwich. But, my favorite sandwiches are pastrami and cracked pepper turkey. They have fresh baked bread and the slice the meat right in front of you! Best. Sandwich. Ever.
For Dessert:
Boulder Baked. If you learn one thing about me, (besides that I love Colorado and CU) it should be that dessert is my favorite meal. I would eat cupcakes and cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I knew it wouldn't kill me. With that, you can assume that I am a pretty good judge of baked goods. I can't even choose which Boulder Baked cookie would be my favorite…maybe the classic chocolate chip or the oatmeal chocolate chip? But, my favorite cupcake in the world is the Boulder Baked Strawberry Shortcake cupcake. Yum!
You might be sad to say goodbye to your home cooked meals, but fear not! With on campus meal options like the C4C and various restaurants around town, you won't go hungry here.

text: Media NimbleTV's simply showing cable providers how nimble they can be Image Credit: Screenshot from NimbleTV video December 10, 2013 3:59 PM Barry Levine 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Can a streaming TV network add value to cable TV? NimbleTV is attempting to find out. This week, the New York City-based streaming TV service opened up its year-long beta test to everyone in the New York City area. But instead of providing free-like-YouTube videos, users need to sign up and pay for the service, just like real cable TV. The big difference, of course, is that the service is designed from the beginning to be available from anywhere, on a range of devices. Supported devices include Apple's mobile products and Apple TV, Roku, Net-enabled TV and current browsers and OSes on computers. No Android yet. Users can purchase additional recording time on HD-DVR plans, ranging up to 90 hours monthly. Two packages While NimbleTV is in the cloud, you need a physical address in metro NYC to get access to either of two packages. One, of 24 local channels, can be watched anywhere but requires that you have an existing cable subscription. It includes local news, sports, and major networks from providers Time Warner Cable, Cablevision, Verizon FiOS, and RCN, and pricing begins at $3.99 monthly. Two additional tiers provide more cloud-based HD DVR recording time. The other, a "concierge service," is available to anyone in the NYC area, and its choices offer 130 network, local, cable, and premium channels in three tiers ranging from 30 channels to over 96 channels and beginning at $29.98 monthly. Essentially, it's cable on the go. Interestingly, founder and CEO Anand Subramanian told Variety that his company has no business arrangements with cable, satellite, or telco TV operators, but that its service falls under fair use. Dish Network is NimbleTV's provider. Two questions Subramanian noted in a statement that his company's goal is to improve existing pay TV, "not displace it." That improvement, apparently, is to make cable TV more nimbly mobile. One pending question, however, is whether customers are willing to pay extra for the ability to watch cable TV anywhere – when they already have countless online video options and may already have cable TV waiting at home. The other question: If NimbleTV is successful, why wouldn't the cable providers simply provide the same access?

Historical Traveler Reviews Hilton Southampton
Nice place to stay a night or two
This is a nice hotel, a cut above the usual modern business type hotel. Nicely decorated and furnished, helful friendly staff, comfortable spacious lounge and bar, good restaurant. The only criticism would be that sometimes the dinner is carvery only which offers very limited choice. That apart, a very decent place for a night or two.
Time not well spent
I stayed here one night on a business trip. I had recently spent nights at other hiltons and had found them to be of a good standard. This was by far the most disappointing of any "4 star" hotel I have stayed at. I had booked on the internet (Confirmed by email) and when I turned up they had no knowledge of it. The room They offered to me was of an ok standard but old. So much so that after going to the toilet the handle literally snapped off in my hand.
The restaurant menu was limited and not very inspiring. OK if you like carveries not much cop otherwise. Compared to Manchester airport Hilton the menu was rubbish. I decided not to eat at the hotel and drove into the city. When I returned at 10.45 the bar was already closing.as they had already cashed up. I got a drink but I didn't see anyone around to get another after 11.00PM
At 7.30AM I was woken by housekeeping wanting to clean my room. At breakfast there was no one there to show me to a seat. When they did turn up I was asked twice whether I wanted tea or coffee but nothing turned up for 15 minutes. I had to interrupt a chat between 3 of them to get my tea. Finally there were no fried eggs. lots of uncooked eggs but no one to cook them.
Overall It appears that the hotel is badly managed and short staffed.
.... 4 stars- for what?
I stayed at this hotel for 1 night whilst on business in Southampton. I was looking forward to my stay as on the website it looked very nice. When I arrived there were plenty of car parking spaces, which was one of the best things about it really.
I had booked a double N/S room for sole use (I hate single beds) yet I was told when I arrived that there were no double N/S rooms available. I could either have a twin N/S or a double smoking. I know from experience of other hotels that smoking rooms are not pleasant places for a non smoker as they stink and are generally less well kept than N/S so after assuring me she would call if another room came free I opted for twin room, however as soon as I got in there I knew it would not do. The bed was approximately the size and density of a brick and about as comfortable and as I had been on my feet working all day with the prospect of another day on my feet to come, so I called to say I really wasn't happy. The receptionist said there was nothing she could do, but she would send me some free stuff to my room. I never found out what this was as soon after this a room came free and I got moved to a double N/S (also was not on the 2nd floor which reeks of chlorine). The room was clean and the bed was double (hooray) although v. hard- do not stay here if you like a soft mattress. One of the bulbs in the bathroom had blown so it was a bit dark, and the toilet didn't flush very easily but I wasn't too worried about this.
I ate dinner in the restaurant (it is miles out of town so you are pretty much stuck), considering this is a 4* hotel I was expecting something nice, however as I stepped into the restaurant I realised I had been mysteriously transported back to the early nineties. The main attraction of the evening seemed to be a buffet trolley for starters and a carvery. Now I have nothing against carverys in motorway service stations or theme pubs, however I was looking for something a bit nicer than a slab of meat and 2 veg that have been sitting under a heat lamp for 3 hours, so I opted to eat a la carte. I had lobster and avocado salad for starter, which was basically a bit of lobster (I assume) with lettuce and avocado. It was very dry and not well dressed and the flavours did not come together and it was no more than the sum of its parts. For main course I ordered lamb with potato gratin and redcurrant and juniper sauce. The lamb was nicely cooked, however the sauce was revolting. It was thick, gelatinous and tasted of old fat and uncooked flour and had peppercorns in it- peppercorn sauce with lamb? I don't think it had seen a redcurrant. and the potato gratin was inedible. It looked like a supermarket ready meal that had been heated up in the microwave. It had no cheese, no garlic, and no cream and tasted kind of chemically- it was actually disgusting. So the waiter Mourad (who was very nice) brought me some roast potatoes instead off the carvery (they were also weird and mass produced tasting- which didn't suggest the rest of the carvery was delicious). I skipped dessert as I had seen what the table next to me (mass produced gateaux) had and the fact that people were getting excited about profiteroles (time travelling again!) didn't bode well and I had lost my appetite by then anyway. If I had been paying with my own money I would have refused to be honest, but thankfully the company were paying, so I just went up to bed.
It is quiet considering its proximity to the motorway and the breakfast was just the standard hotel buffet. I liked the potato cakes.
I was expecting more from this hotel, but experience has told me that Hilton Hotels in general do not live up to their reputation.
Beware Of The Beds
The staff at this hotel are polite and helpful. I stayed there twice during the winter/spring of 2005. It does not warrant 4* rating. A good 3* would be appropriate. The public areas need renovation as carpets are worn and paintwork badly chipped.
The restaurant menu is uninspired. On the nights when carvery is offered the variety of main courses, vegetables and desserts is very limited. Not worth the 4* cost of the meal. At breakfast containers are emptied by customers but the staff are slow to refill them especially if you arrive in the last half hour of service.
We had upgraded rooms on both occasions. In each room, on both occasions, the mattresses on the beds were unprotected and very badly stained. The beds were also hard. Upon arrival there were complimentary toiletries but these were never replaced. Most days we had to ask for replacement toilet tissue.
In common with most Hilton Hotels the final bill was incorrect. - Complaints were made.
Cunard alert
I'm writing this in case you are tempted to stay at the Hilton as part of the Cunard Cruise Connect programme.
The hotel itself is fine. Not brilliant, but perfectly OK for an overnight before your cruise and a place to leave the car while you're away.
A bonus is that between checking out of your room and catching the coach to the ship you can use the pool, steam room and sauna - much much better than doing the "departure lounge" thing sitting in reception for a couple of hours, waiting for the coach.
My problem was with the coach part of the deal. Stay at the Hilton, cruise with Cunard, and transfer on a very hot day on an extremeley elderly coach, no leg room, no air-con, no comfort at all - and the coach must have been 25 years old - for what seemed like hours to the dock. (the Hilton is a long way from the city centre.
Do yourself a favour - stay in Southampton and take a taxi to the ship!
Very nice hotel..
We stayed at this hotel from Christmas Eve until Boxing Day 2004. I booked us into a Deluxe room which was just that. It was very nice. We could not fault the accommodation side of this hotel. Included in our stay was a buffet breakfast which I must say was pretty bad. Not much to choose from and alot of empty containers. Also as we stayed over the Christmas period, found it a bit strange that not one staff member made reference to this by so much as saying 'Merry Christmas' to us. Not very festive people!
Not exactly the Hilton
I'd probably give a 3-star rating if this was an independent hotel, as it's generally OK. However, it is the most unconvincing "Hilton" I have ever stayed in. I spent 4 nights here on a business trip in December 2004.
The rooms are very average, nothing special but not much wrong with them, and the staff are perfectly pleasant. But there's something about the place that depresses me. Perhaps it's the over-lit bar area or slightly grotty carpets, or the complete lack of any character whatsoever. It's something in between a Holiday Inn and a motorway Travelodge.
This is just a question of taste, as there is no single thing that would have given me cause to complain. However, if I'd paid for this with my own money I would be very disappointed.
Last point - don't stay here if you are intending to spend time in the centre of town. It's miles away.
Badly in need of renovation...
I booked two nights at this hotel on the basis of photos and information on its web site, which turned out to be unrepresentative of its actual condition. The staff was faultlessly polite, as the English are, but their hotel is badly in need of renovation. Given an upgrade from the standard rate that I had booked, the room was still the tiniest I'd seen in any Hilton, the bed was hard and uninviting, carpets were well-worn in the corridors, varnish was chipping off moldings, and the smell of chlorine from the pool was an unpleasant introduction to stepping off the elevator on the second floor. Since the hotel is surrounded on all sides by major roads, there's also a sense of defended isolation about its location (the reference on the web site to its being in the New Forest is sheerest fantasy, except in a larger geographical sense). Major work will have to be done in order for this hotel to be anywhere near normal Hilton standards. As it happened, I chose not to stay there after seeing the rooms and common areas -- there are better choices in the Southampton area...
Nice Hotel
I have stayed at the Hilton Southampton a few times in the previous couple of years and have always found it to be very clean and tidy, the rooms are smart (have stayed in the standard and superior) The public areas are nicely furnished particularly the bar area, its very cosy with sofas etc, the breakfast is nice with a full choice and the restaurant decor is lovely. When staying on Dinner, Bed and Breakfast we did find we had a very limited choice menu for dinner but that is my only complaint. Car parking is unlimited and although its in a very busy area sandwiched between main roads and a motorway it is silent inside. A good location to visit the surrounding areas and only a few minutes by car from the centre of Southampton.
Not what you would expect from the Hilton....
I booked five none smoking rooms, but was allocated five smocking rooms. They can't guarantee room request apparently, did not say that when I booked. The location was at bit out of it. The room was OK apart from smell. On the whole not worth the money or Hilton reputation.

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 284,000
Pros: "quality in every aspect. Country club or cornfield"
Cons: "15MPG."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"This truck is 14 years old, with 284K miles. I love it! No rattles. Nice ride. Change oil every 6-7K miles and not a teaspoon of oil used between changes. I do tune-ups at 100K. After I get it detailed about once every year or 2, people ask if I bought a new car. I use this truck as it was meant to be used. A lot of highway miles, but also a lot of cornfield, timber, creek bed, mud and sand miles. The clamshell tailgate is the best as the bottom folds down and gives you something clean to sit on when changing boots in the field. I took out 3d row jumpseats after I was no longer hauling kids. The paint still shines. My wife keeps suggesting I ought to buy a newer truck. The new Lexus LX and GX were made for soccer moms. I can't afford the new LX and don't like its looks. Had a new GX as a 3d car for a while. HATED the tailgate. Got rid of it. This truck is solid as Gibralter and looks great and rides/handles great. If it falls apart tomorrow, it doesn't owe me a dime. Nonetheless, I think I will be inconsolable when I have to part with this truck. I should mention that after all these miles, the leather on drivers seat still looks great with no tears or rips."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 190,000
Pros: "dependable. With 200k miles it runs like it's new."
Cons: "bad gas mileage"
"I love my lx470. It's a 1999 with 190k miles on it. I've owned it for 7 yrs. No problems at all. Just regular oil changes, etc. It still runs like it's brand new and I still get comments all the time from people who think it's new and love the looks/fit and finish. It's truly an amazing SUV."

"On a couple of occasions I have been the last car to travel over Berthoud Pass before it was closed due to deep snow and whiteout conditions. My LX would go with no problem passing dozens of stuck, abandoned cars and trucks. The LX was so good it left me wondering why others were having so much trouble. The gearing is perfect for mountain driving. The low gears will climb a tree. The air suspension is awesome for towing, loading bikes, kayaks, or just allowing my aging Golden Retriever to jump in the back. 130K miles and no problems outside regular maintenance. It's built like a tank and weighs about as much as one, too. There's nowhere this thing can't go - Moab, Vail, Winter Park, etc., The LX goes."

We currently have an older-style Marathon for ODS and love the soft cover on it. We are looking at buying a Marathon 70-G3 for YDS, but most of the covers look to be that rougher wipe-able fabric that isn't quite as comfortable. We have the rougher fabric on our Chicco infant seat, and while it is nice to wipe, I feel that our LO sweats more in it. I can't quite tell from the pictures of the Marathon, though, so I was hoping those of you who have this seat could give me some insight as to how soft/comfortable the cover is. What color is yours, and do you like it?

The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in last season's NL division series before going on to win their 11th World Series. While the NL Central-leading Cardinals have more or less picked up where they left off, the last-place Phillies have struggled without Missouri native Ryan Howard, out since tearing his Achilles in October. The Cardinals try for a 13th win in 19 meetings with the Phillies as the teams open a four-game set Thursday night at Busch Stadium. St. Louis was a heavy underdog when it faced Philadelphia in the division series, but the NL's wild-card winner rallied from a 2-1 deficit to win the series and kick off an impressive October run. Despite losing Albert Pujols in free agency and suffering a slew of injures - including Lance Berkman's torn meniscus - the Cardinals (25-19) are still one of baseball's best teams. They lead the NL with 231 runs, 56 homers and a .278 average. "Lance, we don't know what's going to happen with him, and some othe...

Want FREE PAID GAMES AND APPS FOR ANDROID? New App Delivers For A Price!— March 14, 2013
Well this is a new one!
An app I stumbled across with the obvious title "Get Free Apps" promises to obey it's namesake and give you free apps.
Sound too good to be true? I thought so too.
Basically the premise behind this service is similar to what Amazon does with their Free App of the day. The service contacts developers and offers to promote their app on the condition that it is free for that day. The payment process is where this app gets a little bit worrisome though.
For this app to work, you have to go in to the play store and physically buy the app, and then apply for a refund. Once you purchase the app, the Get Free Apps app will refund the money to your paypal account.
It seems VERY sketchy and insecure, however it has a fairly high rating on the Play store. People are confirming that for the past few days of promotional apps, they have gotten their refunds quickly and the whole process has been smooth. At it's core, this is just a strategy to promote paid apps, but I wish there was a more effective way to do this through the play store. Maybe instead of refunding money, the developers give one time coupon codes that the app generates and which can be used in the play store? That would be nicer and more official than this method.
In any case, if you want a free paid app of the day without using Amazon's proprietary service, this might be the app for you. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Ktm 1190 adventure !
View Single Post
Adventurer reborn
Joined: Nov 2009
Location: Canandaigua, NY
Oddometer: 26
New owner 2014 Adventure comments
My nephew is a new KTM dealer, (Solid Performance), in Downingtown, PA, not far from Philadelphia. He managed to get a factory 1190 Adv demo on loan a few months ago so I made the five hour drive down from Upstate NY to visit and get a ride on the demo bike.
As background, I have been riding about half a century now. My current stable includes an '08 KTM 690 that I use for DS riding and a '10 990 Adventure, (for sale, BTW), that is my "road" bike, though they are often very bad, (good?) roads.
Given the amount of effort it took to get my 990 running they way it should, and outfitted to suit my needs, I was not expecting to be impressed by the 1190. It is an uncommon opportunity to he handed the keys to such a motorcycle and told to "have fun", so how could I not take him up on it? My brother rode his 690E with street tires and guided me all over Chester County. Even though I grew up in that area my brother gave me a fantastic tour on roads I did not even know about. Twisty country roads, gravel, highway... we did it all.
At the end of our little hundred mile demo, I parked the bike in my nephew's shop, handed him the key.... and promptly informed him that one of his incoming 1190s would have my name on it!
It has been noted by many already, and perhaps with greater eloquence, that the 1190 motor must be experienced to be believed. The dual plug ignition and FI mapping make the engine superbly well behaved from idle up. One can idle away in second gear without complaint and not a hint of the engine coughing or quitting. With a tighter steering radius than my 990 one can do first gear slow speed figure eights at idling speeds with complete engine and chassis control. The bike does indeed feel lighter than the 990 even though it is in fact ever so slightly heavier.
On the road, the bike is a "natural". Feels like it is on rails at all times. The brakes are superb. The motor traction control is utterly amazing. Pull off a paved road onto dirt - gravel and grab a handful of throttle... the rear wheel gives the tiniest wiggle and the bike rockets forward. The power delivery feels seamless. Truly amazing technology.
Ditto the ABS. I practice emergency stopping routinely and on a non ABS bike this requires paying attention. On the 1190 no matter what combination of brakes you apply the bike remains stable and stops very, very well. In real world street riding, this technology could save your bacon.
The fly by wire throttle has a pretty stiff return spring, which I am at a loss to understand the reasoning for, but the connection to the motor is perfect and not at all sensitive to "throttle jiggle". I intend to fashion some sort of mechanism to counter act the spring to lessen the wrist effort, but in truth, it did not really cause me any discomfort over the several hours I rode it. My early cycles, (old Harleys), had push - pull throttle cables with no spring return at all, (pre Federal standards), and I consider the hard spring returns of today to be ridiculous, but that is another story. I like to be able to rest my hands and even remove them from the grips briefly every now and then. Impossible with the current throttle spring, which appears to be largely tamper proof.
Some have called the seat "hard", but for my bony ass, it is amazingly good and I am not going to change it at all. It sits a little lower than the single piece seat of my 990 and allows me to easily flat foot the bike. I think it adds to the perception of it being lighter than it is.
Are there any faults? Aside from the throttle spring the most annoying feature is the turn signal switch followed by the high low beam switch. The signal switch has very little movement and thus very little tactile feedback. Without checking the dash for the indicator I was never sure if I had actually succeeded in turning them on. The high low beam switch is very easily flicked unintentionally, up or down. Admittedly, I was riding with winter gloves and I have big hands. These issues will probably be of less concern with my lighter summer gloves and more familiarity, but the design choices here could be improved.
I am very fussy about helmet noise due to turbulent airflow. I spent a lot of $ getting that problem fixed on my 990. The 1190 is better, but IMO, not great. Not even good, really. I have no idea why designers insist on putting the little reverse curl on the top of so many windshield designs... maybe it is supposed to look cool or sexy, but it adds turbulence to the air hitting the rider. At highway speeds I found the pressure "flutter" experienced by my ears to be utterly unacceptable in-spite of molded ear plugs. Other reports have deemed the wind screen pretty good. Hard for me to fathom that.
Then there is the issue of speedo error. Both the demo and my new bike, (yes it is sitting in the barn waiting for good weather), read optimistically by quite a bit... 6-7 mph at an honest 60 mph (GPS). I fixed that problem on my 990 with a Healtech recalibrator, but the 1190 is CAN bus so that device is not an option. I am hoping to learn that there is a way to use the internal software to make corrections. TBD. Why a motorcycle with 21st century technology is delivered with such an out of whack instrument dumbfounds me. This is a
high performance motorcycle. It needs an accurate speedometer.
I got a call from my nephew just before xmas that his allotment of 1190s was coming in all at once so the March delivery I expected took place over the xmas - new years holiday. Santa really delivered this year!
The weather has been mostly
cold and snowy so I have only put about 80 miles on my new bike. Every mile it impresses me more. I ordered the optional really short Adventure R wind screen and this is
better for me than the stock one. I also added some rubber washers under the lower screws to decrease the attack angle a little.
I installed the Adventure kit and the orange crash bars that are stock on the R model. The accent on the bike is gorgeous and I love the overall styling of the 1190 Adv. A matter of personal taste to be sure, but a great looking bike IMO.
I am not the least bit concerned about reliability and maintenance issues and I will be doing those chores my self.
Sorry to ramble on, but I figured I may be one of the first actual 2014 Adv owners in the USA so I thought I would pass on my early observations. If you are considering one, I can't imagine anyone regretting taking ownership of this magnificent machine. Don't wait too long. My nephew has already sold every one and Spring is months away!

Recipe by Amy Frey
"This is a quick and easy way to top off any meal with the light taste of sweet berries. You can use fresh seasonal berries or the frozen ones work just as well. Top with a few berries and mint leaves for garnish."

1/3 cup
1/3 cup
1 (8 ounce) container
frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
1 pint
vanilla frozen yogurt
Great little late night snack that you don't have to feel too guilty about especially if you use reduced fat ice cream and light whipped topping. I skipped the blender step and just layered everything. Smooth, creamy, and delicious!
I thought it would be a shame to blend all those beautiful berries, so I simply layered them with the whipped topping. This may not be the fanciest, tastiest, or most memorable dessert, but since I had berries and a little Cool-Whip leftover, this recipe made adorable and appropriate red, white and blue Memorial Day mini parfaits.
14 Ratings
I presented this delectable dessert in a large wine glass. On top I stood one blackberry, one raspberry, one strawberry (which I sliced and spread -- french style), and two mint leaves... The guests loved it!
I made this for a dinner party and everyone loved them! I used real whipped cream and frozen strawberries and it was delicious. Very easy to prepare too.
simple and delicious. I get many requests for this recipe. I make my own whipped cream and use frozen fruit in the off season. Highly recommend.
A nice summery dessert, id use a little less cream/berry mixture next time. Not a huge Cool Whip fan, perhaps next time Id try real cream. Some crumbled pound cake might be a nice small layer as well. I used Dreamery Vanilla ice cream and fresh berries.
Yum! I only had huckleberries and blackberries, and after mixing it with the whipped cream I decided to mix ice cream in the blender with the berry mixture. The best shake I've ever made!
Great little dessert! I couldn't find the top/lid for the blender, so I just assembled the parfait and skipped the blending steps. The hungry teen devoured this in a couple of bites. Quick, easy, and tasty, Thanks!

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Dad gets a training camp peek
St. Francis - Del Harris, the father of Bucks general manager Larry Harris, paid a visit to practice on Friday at the Cousins Center.
It seemed like old times with Del Harris reunited with his son and Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak, who played under the elder Harris in Milwaukee from 1987-'91. Larry Harris also was with the organization during that time as a scout and video coordinator.
Usually at this time of the year, Del Harris would be in another team's training camp. But he retired at the end of last season as the top assistant to Dallas Mavericks coach Avery Johnson.
"He gets to catch up with his son, and I love to visit with him," Krystkowiak said. "As far as Xs and Os and a basketball mind, you'd be pretty challenged to find somebody that's got it figured out more than he does.
"He understood schemes as well as anybody and was able to put his players in positions where we could be successful back in the late '80s and early '90s. We didn't have a real talented team, but he always seemed to get us in the right spots and we played team basketball."
Harris spoke briefly after practice with Bucks rookie forward Yi Jianlian. It was Harris, the former Chinese national team coach, who put Yi in the starting lineup for China in the 2004 Athens Olympics.
"He's an experienced coach, and he helped our team a lot," Yi said. "He just brought his experience to the court and helped us improve a lot for the Olympics."
Krystkowiak said Del Harris would be in town to watch the Bucks play Minnesota in the annual MACC Fund Game, scheduled on Saturday night at the Bradley Center.

not your regular banana
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1016445 on Mar 25, 2014
This does not taste weird as some people mentioned. This is what real dried bananas should taste like. I was pleasantly surprised when i opened the bag to see those, because here in the States your crispy bananas are fake and processed, but it's basically everywhere and people who have never tasted real dried bananas think it's a norm. Real dried bananas should not resemble chips, it is supposed to be ripe and soft and have this unique smell.
Quite terrible!

Was really excited to find a dried banana that is not sweetened ... but so disappointed when I opened the bag - was overwhelmed by the strangely horrible smell!
Very nice!
Posted by 5604478216233476108 on Sep 14, 2013
I like it very much, continue to order it.
Sweet and chewy.
Posted by 5508281053538638557 on May 19, 2014
These banana slizes are soft and chewy, with a really deep banana flavour. I will buy them again!
Eaten with gratitude
Posted by Reviewer2400546 on Apr 19, 2014
I consider the alternatives: Industrially handled bananas ripened away from sunlight, and so on. Banana chips sweetened with sugar. And have eaten these with deep gratitude - and a certain amount of trust. For I would have preferred to know more and better about the farming, how it is done, how the fruits are handled to avoid bugs and so on - and for the lack of this essential information only I give it four stars, not five, that I should otherwise have given it.

Could the death penalty be dying? Have we had enough of the five methods of state-sanctioned killing: hanging, shooting, gassing, drugging and electrocuting? Are we finally agreeing with Harry Blackmun, who, before retiring from the Supreme Court in 1994, said that the death penalty should be unconstitutional in all cases?

• With a field goal Monday, the Chargers have scored 27 points this season on their first drive of the second half, second most in the NFL.
• Mathews made the type of play that can be overlooked in a win but prove glaring in a loss. He bounced out of bounds when the Chargers were milking the clock late in the fourth quarter. Indianapolis was able to save a timeout.

Diary - Carole Stone [1]
The journalist Tom Bower waved a £10 note at me. I thought my virtue was in jeopardy, but he was pay
The journalist Tom Bower waved a £10 note at me. I thought my virtue was in jeopardy, but he was pay
by Carole Stone [2] Published
My first party conference was in the early 1980s, as producer of BBC Radio 4's Any Questions?. Twenty years later, I'm still addicted. At the beginning of the week, Gordon Brown thundered: "Labour needs not just a programme, but a soul!" And that was the theme at the Social Market Foundation fringe meeting to discuss "Is the Labour Party run by heretics?". When Lord Hattersley kicked off, he did what all good speakers do: he stood up (he says he never could make a good speech sitting down). He insisted he didn't want Tony Blair to do any U-turns, rather "a little body swerve to the left". Roy spoke well and knew when to stop - a rare quality.
Last up was the Home Office minister Hazel Blears. She may be one of the very shortest MPs in the House, but she just fizzes with energy. She grabbed the mike, held it as close to her mouth as possible without hitting her teeth (I like that) and belted out her experience of her Salford constituency and why she rejected accusations from Labour members that the party was losing its soul. "We don't have to do the Conservatives' dirty work for them," she said, but the betrayal tendency had been in the party a long time: "Back in 1945, the Attlee government was denounced by the New Statesman as a 'sell-out'."
It was time for me to leave - moving on to that very magazine's annual reception. Just as I was about to join the throng, I found my virtue apparently in jeopardy. Looming in front of me was Tom Bower, scourge of many a tycoon. To my embarrassment, he waved a £10 note at me. But he was simply paying up on a wager. Back in July, I'd bet him that Alastair Campbell would resign before this conference.
At the BBC stand, people were being asked to choose from a list of 100 books to find Labour's favourite. I put my cross against Robert Tressell's The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists. My mother chose this book as a prize when she was at school in 1930. She was later offered a place at university, but her parents couldn't afford to let her go. Mama would have been pleased to hear Charles Clarke insist that "Education, education, education was our priority, is our priority and will always be our priority".
Fiona Millar, Cherie Blair's aide, is leaving No 10 and I've persuaded her to make education the subject of her first speaking engagement. As a governor of two north London state schools, she is passionate about the issue. At an event organised by the debating forum Intelligence Squared on 9 October, Fiona will speak against the motion "State education is a comprehensive disaster". She'll be up against Chris Woodhead, the former chief inspector of schools.
Over a seafront lunch of fish and chips with Clive Soley, the former chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party, education came up again. Clive left school at 15, and I assumed he would be the classic Labour opponent of top-up fees. Not at all. As a weekly wage-earner, he studied at night school before going to Strathclyde University. After that, the jobs came with an annual salary. Clive believes you're likely to earn more money with a degree, so it's only fair that you contribute towards the cost of the extra education.
On 19 October, Sir Bill Morris will celebrate his 65th birthday and leave the post of T&G general secretary. At the conference, he said: "If defending workers' rights is being old-fashioned and dogmatic, count me in. If defending workers is a crime, then consider me and my union guilty. And if that makes me 'awkward', then put me down as leader of the squad." I gather that workaholic Bill will now be focusing his energy on raising awareness of Aids in Africa among trade unionists and politicians.
That's it. I'm exhausted, but as Tony Blair says, unless you give up, you've just got to get on with it. I've organised a fringe event for the Media Society, whose current president is my husband, the TV journalist Richard Lindley. He will chair a debate on "Relations between politicians and the media are bad - and should be worse". With Charles Clarke, Clare Short and Rod Liddle on the panel, it could just get my adrenalin going again - or wipe me out completely.

Should I buy an Apple laptop (MacBook) or an Apple Mac desktop computer? What are the pros and cons of Apple's laptops and desktops?
Deciding whether to buy an Apple Mac desktop or a MacBook laptop (also known as a Mac notebook) is tricky. The prices are broadly similar, but Apple Mac desktops and MacBook laptops offer different features and user experiences. Apple's Mac desktops ramp up to higher-spec models when compared to Mac notebooks, but desktop computers chain you to a desk; while Apple's MacBook laptops let you roam free - but at what performance cost?
In this feature we look at Apple's Mac desktop and MacBook laptop range of computers, and help you work out which option is right for you. (Updated on 25 November 2014 to include new specs and pricing information.)

Mac laptop or desktop: Apple's desktop computer range
Apple currently makes three different models of desktop computer:
- iMac. The most famous Mac in our range is the all-in-one iMac with its built in display (either 21.5-inch or 27-inch). This has recently been joined by the all-new iMac Retina 5K Display model. Read more about the iMac here.
- Mac mini. The diminutive Mac mini needs a separate screen, keyboard and mouse but offers the latest power but is small enough to fit in a handbag and has a wide range of connections. Read more about Mac mini here.
- Mac Pro. Finally there is the all-new Mac Pro which offers incredible speed in an all-new style of cylindrical design. There are two main models available: a 3.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon powerhouse and a 3.5GHz 6-Core behemoth. Both feature dual AMD FirePro graphics cards. Read more about Mac Pro here
Prices start at £399 for the Mac mini (although you'll need to factor in the cost of a screen if you haven't got one) and £899 for the iMac (£1,999 for the iMac 5K Retina Display). The new Mac Pro starts at £2,499.

Mac laptop or desktop: Apple's MacBook range
Apple's laptop/notebook range is more popular than its desktop range (Apple sells more laptops than desktops). Apple has three different Mac notebook models to choose from:
- MacBook Air. The MacBook Air is Apple's most popular model, with its super-light and super-small design (either 11-inch or 13-inch screen). It's no slouch though and the latest model offers a tremendous amount of battery life (up to 12 hours according to Apple).
- MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro is the closest Apple has to a more traditional laptop. Only one version is available (with a 13-inch screen). It has a 500GB 5400-rpm hard drive instead of the newer flash storage system found on the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina Display. The MacBook Pro is the only Mac still being sold with a built-in optical SuperDrive (CD/DVD writer). Although you can purchase an external Apple DVD Superdrive to go with other Macs. (See: Is it worth buying an Apple USB SuperDrive?)
- MacBook Pro with Retina Display. This super-high resolution display makes compatible apps (most Apple apps plus stalwarts like Adobe Photoshop) look amazing. The MacBook Pro models are available with 13-inch and 15-inch screens. Read more about the MacBook Pro Retina here.
Prices start at £749 for a MacBook Air, £899 for a MacBook Pro and £999 for a MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

Mac laptop or desktop: Different features
Comparing a desktop to a laptop throws up some pretty straightforward differences. The first being that a desktop is clearly designed to sit on a desk; the laptop is designed to be carried around with you (or, as the name suggests, used on your lap).
Mostly this is due to the design. The Mac Pro and Mac mini need an external monitor, and while the iMac has an integrated display you still use a separate keyboard and mouse (or Magic Trackpad). Laptops, in contrast, have the keyboard, trackpad and monitor contained within a package small enough to carry around. It may sound like we're stating the obvious, but it's worth noting that beyond a few design differences there really isn't that much technically that separates Apple Mac laptops and desktops.
All Macs feature Wi-Fi (known as AirPort), but the portable nature of a laptop doesn't doesn't just affect your ability to take the computer to a local coffee shop, a MacBook can be quickly moved into meeting rooms for presentations, and if you're at home you can move from the desk to the couch and carry on using your computer. Having said that there are also a number of key differences between an Apple MacBook and Desktop.
Mac desktop or laptop: Display
The screen on the Apple MacBook computers starts at 11-inch and goes up to 15-inch (there was previously a 17-inch model, but this was discontinued by Apple). On Apple iMac computers the screen size ranges from 21.5-inch to 27-inch. Don't underestimate screen size as a factor in productivity: this Apple study shows that large monitors provide productivity gains of between 50-65 per cent.
Mac laptop or desktop: Processor speeds and performance
The MacBook Air, Mac mini and iMac all start with the same 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor. The 13-inch MacBook Pro starts with a 2.5GHz dual-core CPU, and MacBook Pro with Retina Display starts with a 2.6GHz dual-core CPU. The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display has a more powerful 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor. The iMac with Retina 5K Display has a whopping 3.5GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 and the Mac Pro starts with an even more powerful 3.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5.
Although there's some areas of crossover between the entry-level MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac mini, it's clear that you get a lot more processor bang for your buck on the desktop range. This isn't just a number on a spec sheet: the faster speed will make a lot of difference if you're using Photoshop and 3D imaging software, or video editing. It also extends the lifespan of the machine, ensuring it'll be able to run newer software for longer.
Mac laptop or desktop: Graphic performance
Alongside the Intel processor in each Apple Mac sits a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). This is often referred to as a "graphics card" although they are not always separate cards these days. The GPU is primarily used to manage visual effects and a good GPU enables games, and other graphic intensive programs to run more effectively.
At the entry level: the Mac mini, MacBook Air, and iMac all feature the older Intel HD Graphics 5000, card introduced with Haswell in 2013. The MacBook Pro with Retina Display has a newer, and faster, Intel Iris Graphics card also introduced in 2013. Intel HD and Intel Iris are both integrated graphics cards that run on the same die as the main CPU and share the RAM with the rest of the computer.
The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display and second-cheapest 21.5-inch iMac (£1,049) both feature Intel Iris Pro GPUs. The Intel Iris Pro is the same system as Intel Iris but with 128MB of dedicated RAM that acts as a buffer to improve performance.
There's nothing wrong with the Intel HD or Iris integrated systems (they run most modern games) but if you are a keen gamer, or work in a visual effects field then you might want to consider a step up. The Intel Iris Pro offers a marked upgrade in performance, but if you work in professional 3D, video editing or are a keen gamer then consider getting a Mac with a discrete graphics system.
Apple is using NVIDIA and AMD for its discrete graphics systems at the moment, so if you see NVIDIA or AMD on your Mac it's going to offer better performance. the NVIDIA cards come with their own separate RAM alongside higher GPU specifications.
The 21.5-inch 2.9GHz iMac (£1,199); top-of-the-line 15-inch: 2.5GHz MacBook Pro with Retina Display (£1,999) and both 27-inch iMacs (£1,499 and £1,599) all come with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX discrete graphics cards (with either 1GB or 2GB of independent RAM for the graphics). These all offer vastly improved graphics performance over Macs with Intel HD 5000, Intel Iris or Intel Iris Pro graphics.
The 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display comes with an AMD Radeon R9 M290X with 2GB video memory. The Mac Pro comes with two graphics cards: Dual AMD FirePro D300 with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM on each card (4GB in total) on the quad-core model and 3GB GDDR5 VRAM each (6GB in total) on the 6-core unit. These are impressive numbers, and that sort of power is needed if you want to edit the new 4K video.
Mac laptop or desktop: Storage
On the surface it appears that you get more storage for your money with a Desktop. The Apple Mac mini and iMac computers start with 500GB and higher range models have 1TB across the board and they can be upgraded to 3TB.
The MacBooks and Mac Pro, on the other hand, come with smaller and faster PCIe-based flash storage.
The MacBook Air comes with 128GB on the cheaper 11-inch and 13-inch models, and goes up to 256GB on the more expensive models. Taking the 256GB storage to 512GB is an additional £240).
The MacBook Pro with Retina display also comes with 128GB, 256BG or 512GB of flash as standard. The non-retina model has a 500GB Serial ATA hard drive as standard.
It seems odd that the cheaper Mac mini and MacBook Pro (non Retina) both come with larger hard drives than most of the more expensive Macs. This is because the MacBook Air. MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and now Mac Pro all come with Flash storage built into the logic board. This is much faster (between 5-10 times faster) than a traditional Serial ATA hard drive. So although you get less storage you get much faster performance.
You can upgrade to an SSD (Solid State Drive) hard drive on the iMac and Mac mini, although this costs £160 to upgrade for a smaller sized (but much faster performing) 256GB SSD. The Mac mini and iMac both offer the Fusion Drive as a £160 upgrade. The Fusion Drive blends SSD technology with a traditional Serial ATA space to offer a 1TB drive with higher performance. It's an upgrade we highly recommend. There's a speed versus space issue here but it depends on your function. If you're going to be editing a lot of video then the larger internal hard drive will make a lot of difference.
Mac laptop or desktop: Upgradability
Apple computers are notoriously difficult to upgrade, and the latest range offers even more restricted computing than ever. The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina Display both have soldered RAM and hard drives: they are basically non-upgradable, what you buy is what you'll use forevermore. The MacBook Pro without Retina Display still enables you to upgrade the RAM (up to 16GB) and swap out the hard drive. The iMac 21.5-inch is technically upgradable but so hard to strip down that it might as well not be, but the iMac 27-inch allows you reasonable access to the RAM and hard drive.
The new Mac mini enables you to swap out the hard drive, but you can no longer easily upgrade the RAM. So be sure to buy the memory you need with this model.
The new Mac Pro is an interesting unit in that it replaces the one Mac with superb upgradability options with a radically new design. You can upgrade the RAM fairly easily, but you can no longer install PCI-Express cards into the Mac Pro and the SSD . However the SSD isn't soldered to the board as in a MacBook Air, instead it sits on a card above the GPU. Tantalisingly you may be able to upgrade the graphics card down the line, although the CPU will be forever fixed.
See: Can I upgrade the new Mac Pro?
Upgradability is a mixed bag. On the one hand there are size, weight and performance advantages to having everything soldered inside the machine. But you can easily extend the life of a Mac by updating the RAM and hard drive as prices fall. Again the Mac mini and iMac 27-inch offer longevity.
Conclusion: Should you buy a Mac desktop or laptop?
It may sound trite but in the most case it really does come down to 'how portable do you want your computer to be?' If you need a machine to carry around with you then the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro offer this feature.
But if you don't need portability, you really get much more from a Mac desktop than just a bigger screen. The faster innards, and upgradability options (at least on models other than the 21.5-inch iMac and new Mac mini) will allow you to buy a machine with more potential lifespan. And don't underestimate the productivity gains of working on a large 27-inch display (especially one as beautiful as the new iMac with Retina 5K display).
