Where in the world does the water come from? And where does it go? how high are the Falls, how wide, how deep? how much water rushes over the mighty cataracts, minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by-day, and season-by-season? You'll be fascinated to discover the answers to these questions, and more because Niagara Falls continues non-stop, just like the adventures that await year-round. You'll fall for Niagara in all seasons � winter, spring, summer and autumn. Your journey begins with the rushing waters the Native North Americans called "onguiaahra" or "Thundering Waters." its breathtaking views are highlighted by misty magic and sun streaked rainbows that arch over the Niagara gorge during the daytime, and illuminated after dark by powerful spotlights that pierce the night. Both visuals offer a different perspective on the natural wonder you believe you have come to know. Seeing the sights and the lights of the magnificent Falls is only the beginning. There is so much to experience in Niagara, it is naturally `one Wonder After Another'. 4 DiNiNg, ShoppiNg & EvENTS guiDE a hint of HISTORy An excursion to Niagara Falls offers more than you could imagine. Niagara Falls has often been called "the world's most famous address." While the Falls is certainly our most visited natural attraction, the rest of Niagara is a rich, varied, and rewarding experience, too. Niagara Falls, and the surrounding Niagara Region, have evolved and grown into one of the world's foremost travel destinations. Millions of visitors a year agree! Niagara's fascinating history and rich, cultural heritage is the foundation for many interesting discoveries today. our past sets the tone for our present, and you will find many places to see and things to do. Niagara's past will keep a history buff captivated. There are archeological remnants of the people who lived in the Niagara area thousands of years ago. villages from the ancient iroquois culture reveal an agricultural subsistence, a relationship with the land that even now characterizes much of Niagara. European explorers and missionaries arrived in the New World at the beginning of the 17th century, but did not make their homes here until the War of 1812. This was a turning point in our history, when the fledgling united States army fought British Loyalists who fled America for the new lands that would become Canada. Niagara's historic sites, battlefields, museums and military re-creations are a memorable journey into the past. history in Niagara is present for anyone who looks with an appreciative eye to times gone by. Did you Know? How much water runs over the Falls? The horseshoe Falls (Canada) is considered to be the most impressive of the three falls that make up Niagara Falls. it receives approximately 90% of the water of the Niagara River that goes over Niagara Falls. The combined water flow over the Falls (April to october, daytime) is 2,832 cubic metres per second/750,000 uS gallons per second.

Neither Niagara Falls nor the Niagara River freezes in winter. however, in 1848, the waters stopped flowing over Niagara's famous cliff when the Niagara River was plugged temporarily at the mouth of the river in Fort Erie, ontario. During the winter months, an ice bridge forms at the base of Falls and over portions of the Niagara River below the Falls.

Niagara Falls received its reputation as the "Honeymoon Capital of the World" when the daughter of Aaron Burr, the 3rd Vice-President of the United States, chose to honeymoon in Niagara Falls in 1801. A few years later, Jerome Bonaparte, Napoleon's brother, and his bride did the same and, thus, a tradition was born. Now over 50,000 Niagara honeymoons are arranged each year. 30 DiNiNg, ShoppiNg & EvENTS guiDE sh oppin g Did you Know? What is the foam in the water below the Falls? The foam in the water is a natural phenomenon. It is actually calcium carbonate which comes from the mist as it evaporates while going over the Falls. The calcium carbonate mixes with decaying algae to create the foam. As it moves downstream, it will remix with the water and disappear. This foam is also present around the Whirlpool. Where is the Niagara River deepest? The deepest spot in the Niagara River is just below the Horseshoe Falls. The water is roughly 170 ft (52 m) deep. The erosion from the tumbling water has gouged into the river bed, creating a depression almost as deep as the falls are tall.

In Summer of My German Soldier, why did the army use olive drab?
Where were they when using it?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Olive drab (officially called Olive Drab #3) was the color chosen by the U. S. military for uniforms and military vehicles during World War II. It is mentioned in Summer of My German Soldier when the trucks pass through Jenkinsville carrying the German prisoners-of-war. Olive drab is slightly greener than the tradition olive color, and it was probably chosen to serve as a type of camouflage in the European countryside. Olive Drab #3 was later replaced by the darker Olive Drab #7 in 1944 and remained the official color for combat uniforms through the Vietnam War. Solid color olive drab has since been replaced by multi-pattern olive drab uniforms for better camouflage protection.

YIELD: Makes about 6 cups
Sort the beans to remove any stones or grit. Rinse the beans in a colander and place in a large pan with the water and beer. Add the garlic, onion, epazote (if using), chile powder, cumin, pork or bacon, tomatoes, and salt.
Boil the beans for an hour and then reduce to a simmer and cook over very low heat until soft (12 hours in crockpot or other slow cooker works best). Keep the level of the broth a good inch or so above the beans, and add more water as needed. Serve with broth in a bowl as a side dish.

In 2006, a company called Titan (which was later bought by defense giant L-3 Services) was recruiting fewer than half the number of translators the Army needed. A report by the watchdog website CorpWatch said soldiers commonly complained that the translators had poor language skills.
CLICK HERE to follow the ABC News Investigative Team's coverage on Twitter.
The following year, the lucrative translator contract for Afghanistan was awarded to Mission Essential Personnel, a tiny start-up founded by a U.S. Army Special Forces reservist who was injured in a parachute accident. Taylor, the company's CEO, recently testified that its recruiting numbers are approaching 100 percent, far exceeding the performance of its predecessors.
Funk's assertion that those numbers are the product of shoddy screening of job applicants has left Rep. Snyder uneasy.
If Funk's assertions are true, Snyder told ABC News, "it means they're just trying to put people in the field to get paid."
"If I ask you for five dozen eggs that are fresh, I don't expect you to come back with three dozen eggs and two dozen spoiled ones cause that's what you could find," Snyder said. "We expect them to come back and say there is a shortage. We know there is a shortage. We also are aware this war is going on in areas that are using languages most Americans don't even know the names of."
A spokesman for the company said that logic misinterprets the contract to supply translators to the Army, which could be worth up to $1.4 billion.
"The US Army constructed the contract to disincentivize this sort of conduct," Sean Rushton said in response to a request for comment. "The contract is based on three criteria: cost-control management, quality of personnel, and fill rate, and payments depend on those criteria."
CLICK HERE to follow ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross on Twitter.
Officials with Mission Essential Personnel told ABC News last week that they expect Funk's lawsuit to be dismissed later this month. An attorney for Funk conceded Tuesday that a dismissal is possible, and that he may have to file his suit again and include greater specificity about the fraud allegations he has already made.

IRA contributions: the perils of procrastination
CHICAGO, July 24 (Reuters) – Individual Retirement Account
contributions are getting larger – an encouraging sign of a
recovering economy and improved habits among retirement savers.
But there is an "I" in IRA for a reason: investors are in
charge of managing their accounts. And recent research by
Vanguard finds that many of us are leaving returns on the table
due to an all-too-human fault: procrastination in the timing of
our contributions.
Why your 401(k) isn't likely to offer a 'longevity annuity'
CHICAGO, July 22 (Reuters) – Longevity risk – that is, the
risk of outliving your retirement savings – is among retirees'
biggest worries these days. The Obama administration is trying
to nudge employers to add a special type of annuity to their
investment menus that addresses that risk. But here's the
response they're likely to get: "Meh."
The U.S. Treasury released rules earlier this month aimed at
encouraging 401(k) plans to offer "longevity annuities" – a form
of income annuity in which payouts start only after you reach an
advanced age, typically 85.
Tweeters have retirement questions. We've got answers
CHICAGO, July 17 (Reuters) – The Twitterverse has questions
about retirement. What's the best way for young people to get
started saving? Are target date funds good or bad? Should we
expand Social Security to help low-wage workers?
Those are just a few of the great questions I fielded during
a retirement Tweet-up convened this week by my colleagues at
Reuters. Since my column allows for responses beyond Twitter's
140-character limit, today I'm expanding on answers to five
questions I found especially interesting. You can view the
entire chat – which included advice from personal finance gurus
from Reuters and Charles Schwab – on Twitter at #ReutersRetire.
Retirees: Have you checked bank CD rates lately?
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Getting low-risk yield has been one of the toughest challenges for retirees ever since the financial meltdown of 2008-2009. Interest rates are near zero, and many retirees are nervous about bonds out of fear that rates might jump.
All of which leaves a simple question: How about a good old-fashioned certificate of deposit?
Why most seniors can't afford to pay more for Medicare
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Should seniors pay more for Medicare? Republicans think so; they have repeatedly called for replacing the current program with vouchers that would shift cost and risk to seniors.
There's no doubt this is where Republicans will take us if they capture control of Congress this year, and the White House in 2016. Representative Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican who chairs the House Budget Committee, advocates "premium support" reforms that would give seniors vouchers to buy private Medicare insurance policies in lieu of traditional fee-for-service Medicare.
Hello, Congress: Americans want a strong Social Security system
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Political polarization is at a historic peak. Americans are divided on gun control, abortion, healthcare and privacy, according to a study released last month by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press documenting our increasing ideological rigidity and partisan antipathy (bit.ly/1v23UXF).
Then there's Social Security. The public is worried deeply about the finances of our bedrock retirement and disability program. Pew found just 14 percent of Americans expect to receive their full benefits. And an earlier Pew study found concern is much higher among young people: Roughly half of Gen Xers and Millennials think Social Security won't have enough money to pay any benefits at all when they retire.
Retirement and same-sex couples, a year after DOMA ruling
CHICAGO (Reuters) – (The opinions expressed here are those of the author, a columnist for Reuters.)
Something big happened in the world of retirement benefits a year ago today: The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act.
The state of senior health: It depends on your state
CHICAGO (Reuters) – What are the best and worst places to stay healthy as you age? For answers, take out a map and follow the Mississippi River from north to south. The healthiest people over 65 are in Minnesota, the sickest in Mississippi.
That's among the findings of the America's Health Rankings Senior Report released in May by the United Health Foundation. The report ranks the 50 states by assessing data covering individual behavior, the environment and communities where seniors live, local health policy and clinical care.
Senate turns up heat on cuts in Social Security offices, services
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Until earlier this year, there was a Social Security field office in Gadsden County, Florida, in the state's panhandle. It's the kind of place where seniors need to get in-person help with their benefits rather than pick up a phone or go online.
"Our poverty rate is nearly double the state average, and we trail the state averages in education," said Brenda Holt, a county commissioner. "Most of the people here don't have computers, let alone reliable Internet access."
When to take Social Security? Your 401(k) plan may know best
CHICAGO (Reuters) – (The opinions expressed here are those of the author, a columnist for Reuters.)
Deciding when to file for Social Security is no simple task, and most Americans don't handle it well. But increasingly, help is available from an unexpected source: your employer.

It's hard to argue that anybody has more fun playing baseball than Adrian Beltre. Sure, his stern facial expressions in the field and his reactions when teammates touch his head might make you believe that Beltre is as serious as they come, but Rangers fans who watch him day-in, day-out know just how much fun their third baseman is having. On Sunday, Beltre provided another laughable moment. Caught in a rundown on a routine grounder to third, Beltre decided to take off for left field instead of giving Astros shortstop Jake Elmore the pleasure of tagging him out. Your browser does not support iframes. It's a scene most associate with a little league field, but on Sunday in Houston, Beltre again brought a little fun to baseball.

Sentosa Development Group, which manages the Sentosa Merlion Park had decided to look into enhancing the Merlion Park's environment with the use of creative outdoor lighting. Synergy AVL Pte Ltd, a Singapore based audio-visual and lighting system solutions company, was invited to propose a lighting solution for the island's statuesque icon. Synergy's project team, led by senior project engineer Chip Chong earnestly conducted a series of site surveys before deciding on which types of indoor and outdoor luminaires were best suited to fulfil the management's requirements
To begin, Chip proposed to adapt outdoor wireless technology using W-DMX™ WhiteBox products made by Wireless Solution Sweden. The wireless setup uses one W-DMX WhiteBox Transmitter and five WhiteBox Receiver units. Not only does the use of wireless technology provide a cleaner look without any additional or exposed cables within the site, it also avoided any possibility of affecting the daily operations or serious damage to the Park from unnecessary cabling work being done. Synergy installed a PC base lighting control running on the Daslight Virtual Controller DMX512 software which allows the Park's AV team more freedom to programme and operate all DMX lighting luminaires installed in the Park
10 Units of D.T.S. Delta 10 F RGBW LED IP65 colour changer wash lights are positioned around the Merlion to highlight the main exterior body of the Merlion. Additionally, six units of Novalight High-Ground 2000W moving-yoke fixtures are positioned in a line at the rear of the Merlion and programmed to shoot its powerful and bright moving beams up to the sky to complete its external lighting effects. Also products from ACME and Colorbeam was used in the installation.

IolaNew ZealandAge: 35-44Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5A Lovely Christmas or Birthday GiftOctober 24, 2011IolaNew ZealandAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for Shared Friendship: Inspiration for a Woman's Soul.Shared Friendship is a lovely little gift book, filled with short inspirational stories and quotations about the nature of friendship from well-known Christian authors such as Fanny Crosby, Stomie Omartian, Corrie Ten Boom and Shelia Walsh. Shared Friendship is a nice book, but probably something I would buy for myself, but it would make a lovely Christmas or birthday gift for a friend or relation (it even has a To/From page at the beginning). It is probably best shared as a 'real' book - I think the ebook version loses some of the impact.
Each page has a scripture quotation, followed by a short excerpt on different aspects of friendship. It can be read one passage at a time, in sequence, by theme, by bible verse (there is a Scripture Index at the back) or simply by opening randomly. Examples of topics include 'What is a True Friend?', 'What Friends are For' and 'Friends Bring Happiness'. It's not really a book that you read from cover to cover in one sitting - more a book that you read a couple of pages a day or look over when having one of 'those' days!
Shared Friendship is published by Circle of Friends Minstries, a non-profit organisation established to "build a pathway for women to come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and build Christian unity among women", to evangelise women locally, nationally and internationally. Thanks to NetGalley and Circle of Friends Ministries for providing an ebook to review.

1986 r80 gs build
So I am really excited!!! Like many here im sure, I have loved the old airhead BMWs for a long time and especially the GS models. To my surprise I ran into a crazy cool deal on a 1986 R80 G/S. It is not the Paris-Dakar model, but it did come with the 8.9 gal Dakar tank as well as the stock tank and both the full length seat and the Dakar model short seat with rear rack.
It is respectably clean but not currently running. The original owner {and I do mean original, I will be only the second owner} only put 38k miles on it and then fell over in some soft dirt and it wouldn't restart, that was 7 years ago. Since then the owner has been ill and recently passed.
It sat out side in Parker Az. area for a long time and so much of the plastic parts are dried out or rotted. The half seat/rack was removed the day he bought it as well as the small tank and stored in his garage and are in PERFECT condition like new. The long seat and Dakar tank are more sun beaten. The seat cover is dry and splitting and the exposed padding is dried out and kinda hard. The paint and badges on the Dakar tank are faded and chalky and "if" it was an orginal tank that was signed by Gaston Rahnier that is long faded out and I cannot see it. It has the oem bmw hard panniers and mounting brakets all in tact, but the plastic of the pannier boxes are all dried and a few cracks. Is just the plastic part available?
I will try to post up some pics, but I suck at that. The bike is the White with the 2 tone blue stripes and the orangie/redish seat and a black back fender. The front fender is White, but the paint is flaking on it and it is black underneath it.
Is that stock? or did someone replace the front fender with a black one and paint it?
I think I already found out why it would not restart. Someone had worked on the carbs at some point and the gasket on the choke cover was folded in and not sealed so there was a bunch of silty podery dirt in there and in the slide needle area.
I ordered a set of Bing 32mm carb rebuild kits off ebay for $36.00 usd and they will be here this week. The family friend that was selling it that I bought it from, said he thinks there is an ignition switch problem as well, but I will check it out.
The next thing I know I will need is a front brake mastercylinder rebuild kit and fluid cup. It was all empty and dried out and sun cracked and the rubber bladder under the cover is literally melted into the cup. I will also need a front caliper rebuild kit.
Does anyone have a line on those parts? And are there any other models that will cross over on the fluid tank?
So anyway, on top of my R1100RT I now own another BMW and I am really stoked about that. The wife is not happy that there are now 5 bikes in "HER" garage.... just a man taking back what is rightfully HIS...
Now the hard part....I am kinda thinking about making it a Dakar race bike replica. Not the full 2 shock, swing arm modded, big gussets, HPN replica. Just add a front end off of a better bike {better as in a bit newer and more modern adjustable forks, front wheel, brakes}, strip off unneccesary stuff, custom small headlight mask and windshield, and a cool pain job {not marlboro or penthouse, but maybe HPN/ELF}, and a cool set of custom made 2 into 2 down pipes.
OR should I just rejuvenate it and ride it stock?
What do you guys think? Stock or Trick?
Any parts info you guys have will be appreciated.

You can get all the parts you need from BMW, I get most of my stuff from Max BMW, Chicago BMW for a discount, but only if not in a rush. If your making a big order it would be worth it to order from Motobins in the UK. Even w/ the terrible exchange rate you'll come out cheaper than ordering in the US.
If going the carbs, you might as well replace the needles and respective jets. I bet your fork seals are shot too. If you can afford it make a list of everything it needs and do a big order from Motobins.
I'd take the time to cean the wiring harness terminals and add dielectric grease to the ends. You'll be hard pressed to find the plastic bags, just get Happy Trails bags, they are better anyway.

I tell all new Airhead owners the same thing: Ride it in stock condition for a while and see what you might want to change. Doing that will get you some basic Airhead wrench time, and you'll get to know the bike pretty well. There's a ton of really good minds in this forum, and you can bet that most any wild thing that you want to do to the bike in the future has been tried by one of them.
Try a photo hosting site for your pics. The owner of this forum is also the owner of SmugMug, and it's a great way to get your images on here.

My vote is to leave it stock. It's going to be a project just getting it running and dependable. Ride it, fix it and get to know it first.

I've had mine for 4 years now and am doing a rolling rebuild. Every year I plan some item to put my attention to. No need to be in a hurry. Plus by riding it, you'll get an idea of which way you want to go with it. Really, you may ride it a few thousand miles go "this thing sucks". I did a fly and buy with a one way ticket across the country for my G/S (I'd been pining for one for years). On the test ride I was like "this is really horrible". But like that stray dog.....
With the exception of the rear shock, I don't throw more than $500/year at it in upgrades.If you watch this forum long enough, you'll see what problems come up most and you'll know what could use some attention when the time comes.

My suggestion like others in this thread.
Get the bike running, live with it for while then build the replica bike if you still think you want one.
Sounds like you have a great find.

Squish-"Where the ghetto meets the sea"- must be Chula Vista, Imperial beach, or possibly Venice?
For everyone, Thanks for the input. I guess I was not clear in my original post though. I definately plan on getting it running, just got my carb rebuild kit in today, It is in very good shape and close to running as it sits. I believe a wiring cleanup and carb overhaul and she will fire up, Im sure of it.
After getting it running I plan on putting a few miles on it and just seeing what I think of it. BUT, if I like it like I think I will, I am seriously thinking of doing a Dakar race bike replica just because I LOVE them.
Copy of this, minus the cigarette add though since I hate smoking!
I am not a total newb to bikes or beemers. I own 5 bikes right now including an R1100RT and have owned at least 25 bikes in my life. I do really appreciate the input on this bike and I am really excited to get going on it. I will figure out the pics thing and get some up.

So for anyone curious, she fired right up after a good carb cleaning and new rebuild kit. The guy i got it from thought there was some kind of electrical issue with it and had taken the head light shrouding apart trying to track it down.
I pulled all of the wire connections apart and gave them a quick wire brush and shot of contact cleaner. After charging the battery up I had all of the correct lights except the nuetral switch light on so it would not crank over....except as an existing BMW owner, I knew to try pulling in the clutch.
She cranked over for a while, I had put some marvel mystery oil in the cyclinders just as a precuation so she was slow firing off, then with a bike smelly puff of smoke and some sputtering she lit up. After a few minor cable adjustments I even got her to idle and rev up on the throttle with no real trouble. My battery is acting up so I ordered a new one today and that will be here in the morning.
After she ran for a while and the sat I noticed a puddle of oil next to the bike on the left side. After a bit of investigation I found a small crack in the valve cover {see my other thread on r80gs valve cover}.
All I am having trouble finding is a good front brake master cylinder. I found a new one at A&S but over $200.00 with shipping I am choking a bit. Does anyone know if there is a rebuild kit out there for the piston in the master cylinder?
I need a new cup and rubber boot gasket also but even new those are not too badly priced.
Let me know if there is a better way to rebuild the MC. or some great connection on one please.

You can buy a new piston for the master cylinder, but if the walls of the cylinder are pitted you're just chasing your tail. A new piston worked fine on mine though. There was talk a while ago of drilling pitted cylinders and sleeving them, but I'm not sure if anyone ever actually tried it. If the cylinder is corroded badly then the best answer I can give you is buy a new one now before they cost more. Either that or graft on something else from a newer bike.

AW, thanx, A new piston, tank, and boot/seal is over a $100.00. I think I would opt for the new MC for $200.00 at that point.
I am seriously thinking of turning it into a Dakar Race replica with a better, bigger diameter front fork and a more dirt bike style front wheel and brake system so I am hoping to get it rideable without spending so much money on it yet.
If I decide to leave it stock for ever I will for sure just buy a new MC no sweat. That is why I am trying to see if I can just replace the tank and boot seal and maybe just the o-rings on the piston as a temporary fix to start riding it to see if I like it in stock form. After riding it for a bit I will make the decision on whether I should tear it apart and fully restore it to stock spec or if I should tear it apart and trick it all out.
I am going with everyones ideas on just getting it running and seeing where that takes me, so I am hoping to not have to drop so much money into it up front. Any ideas?

The seals on the master cylinder piston aren't o-rings... more like hats.
Motobins has the complete master's for $132 US, plus shipping (that's where I got mine)
A front end swap won't be cheap, I think $1K is really the low end to do it right, that said I think Brad grafted on a DR650 front end for less, but it ain't much better.
Lots of front-end swap info here:
