The neck on this instrument is too thick for comfort and the workmanship is sub-standard. This is the second Lanikai I buy, and both are hard to play.

Comments about Lanikai SMP-CCA Solid Monkey Pod Concert Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Ukulele:
I recently added this Lanikai to my stable of ukes (yes, I suffer from UAI - ukulele acquisition syndrome), and am very pleased with it. Right out of the box, the action was nice and low. Beautiful wood, cut thin for great "sparkle" and projection. The satin finish is very thin, which some will argue is better for tone. A few tweaks were necessary to get it to my complete liking. All the edges around the body, the headstock and the nut felt a little sharp, so I radiused them slightly with a small rubber sanding block. I filed a few fret ends that felt rough, and deepened the nut slots a bit to lower the strings at the nut. I then went over the whole uke with 0000 steel wool, particularly smoothing the back of the neck. It is a wonderful, bright-sounding uke. The monkey pod wood (solid wood everywhere) is beautifully grained and figured. The uke is not as fancily adorned with inlays as some others in the price range. As noted earlier, the wood cut thin for resonance. If anything, it may be a bit fragile. As is typical of slotted headstocks, it is a bit thick in order to mount the Grover tuning machines. The neck is a bit thicker and wider than some other concert-sized ukes, which makes it easier to finger with my big hands. The electronics are a nice bonus, but I haven't tried them. The cutaway body is cool looking, but not really that functional as the frets are really close together that high on the neck. Definitely a 5-star uke, but I gave I 4 because of all the tweaking I had to do to perfect it.

Comments about Lanikai SMP-CCA Solid Monkey Pod Concert Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Ukulele:
This Uke was purchased just for fun, but, it is a really sweet sounding instrument & mine has very nice intonation. Not all uke's are created equal, I say this having just played about 20 different ukulele's at the 2015 NAMM show including one that would cover about 8 months of my mortgage! This particular model has a couple of great things going for it. 1) Tone, Tone, Tone! A very musical, sweet tone. In fairness I haven't plugged it in yet (I've owned it for over a year) so I can't comment on that. 2) It looks really cool. I was in the market for a monkey pod uke for sentimental reasons, but, other than some of the gorgeous koa wood models out there this one is very nice to look at. It is very lightly finished with an extremely light varnish, the grain is still very open and visible (in fact it might not be varnished at all - maybe oil or wax rubbed?) I don't use the cutout for actually playing, just for fooling around when I pretend to solo, but it looks really cool. 3) The instrument is very playable - I don't find myself fighting the frets or having to work too hard to get good contact with the neck. So far I am really pleased with my Lanikai!

7 Ways to Get Unstuck
7 Ways to Get Unstuck
Brain hiccups. We all get a case of them now and then. For some they are fleeting and all a person has to do is to take a deep breath, visualize their departure, and poof! They're gone. Not so easy for the rest of us. If I counted up the moments I spent trying to escape the broken record of my thoughts, it would be – no kidding – at least a decade of my life. Here are some techniques I've been using lately to catch the cycle of nonsense and return to the moment, or, more realistically, at least be able to engage in what I'm doing enough to fool everyone that I'm really paying attention and not running numbers in my head.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will not let outside linebacker Jason Worilds go without a fight as they have decided to use the transition tag on him.
The transition tag comes with a $9.754 million cost associated with it and the Steelers must accommodate that number in their rule of 51 number at the start of the new league year.
Should Worilds sign a deal with another team during free agency, the Steelers will have five days to match it. If they don't, they will not receive anything in the way of compensation for losing him.
For now, it appears as though the Steelers will let another team decide the market value of Worilds and then decide where to go from there.
Prior to the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine, Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said it was doubtful the team would use a tag this year.
Great. If he is going to stay one additional year he can prove that the second half of last season was not a fluke.
Also the Steelers could wait another year to see what happens with Woodley (if they keep him) and if JJ develops in a good starter.
I expected as much, must have freed a lot of cap room today
Not guaranteed that he will stay with Steelers
Wow. I hope this works out better than when they tagged Starks. I wouldn't have paid Worilds that much for 2 years.
There will need to be some terminations to accommodate this.
So is this a 1 year 9 million dollar deal if there is no offer? Sorry nfl business confuses me.
Hmmm.. bold move
Indeed, still an aggressive move by the Steelers and very surprising (to me)
I think Ike Tayor might be history
Holy shit. Didn't expect that.
It would be too much $$$ on OLBs to keep both. We pretty much have to let 56 go unless someone comes in with a crazy, long term deal that we wouldn't match for 93. We just can't keep them both IMO. Plus, it stunts the growth of 95.
There will be an offer, just not as many as Worilds would want
The last time they used this (Max Starks, if I'm not mistaken), they brutally butchered the whole thing. Hopefully they know what they're doing this time.
To me this is a sign they want to sign him long-term. I'm one that believes he's not a one-hit wonder, and thinks what we saw late last year was the real deal. That said, we can't pay him and Woodley so much money. Perhaps they will try to ink Jason and release LaMarr, and if they can't get it done then they keep both for 2014 and re-evaluate next year, after seeing how their bodies hold up?
not sure if it makes much of a difference, but doesn't this tactic seem to put the Steelers stamp on…'yeah, he's worth a lot of money'? Teams that were considering paying a high price for his short resume may be less gunshy now that the Steelers have basically said he's worth it?
Then again, could be a sign that he isn't worth it…considering Steelers recent track record with high $ contracts on the defensive side of the ball haha.
Leave it to Colbert and the boys to make a move that I (and I would assume most) had never heard of. I support this. I also feel like this means Worilds will not be a Steeler after next year. IMO
Why am I getting the gut feeling we are going to lose him and get no compensatory picks for losing him?
My birthdays never work out quite like this!
It's a high price to pay, but there is no shortage of fools in the NFL. I was blown away when Kruger et. al. got such huge deals last year for such minimal bodies of work. If someone offers much more than this, we have to let him go right?
Honestly, not a bad move. Much smarter than throwing the franchise tag on him. Hopefully the can lock him up long term, but as of now I do not see how woodley would not be cut/forced to take a paycut.
Has to, at the very least, send the message to Worilds that he's wanted in Pittsburgh. And not just in a casual "wouldn't it be nice" sort of way.
That was kind of my thinking too, man!
aggressive would have been to offer him a decent but fair deal and lock him up if possible before FA … not sure i like this at all
Better too much for one year than too much for 4.
do u like this move over offering him a deal before FA ?
Exactly. God forbid he gets an extra 2mil for just the season, and if we don't want to lock him up long-term this gives us the perfect 1-year transition to move on from woodley. I don't mind it
could have been what the Steelers thought was decent and fair was not something Worilds would accept, banking that on the open market he thinks he can get more. This is a great solution to that proposed problem. It let's the market say how much he is worth, and still lets the Steelers decide if he is worth paying that much.
the market is over 8 mil + are we really going to match that ?? i dont think we should … so not sure about how it plays out, but looks like if we dont match we dont get compensation either from the looks of the article ??
Wow, big move by the Steelers to put the transition tag on Worilds. Did not expect this.
if nobody offers Worldis anything, steelers are obliged to pay him 9mm next year.
If someone offers him a deal, steelers have 5 days to match that exact deal. If not, he is gone.
So what you could expect is if someone wants 93 to play for them, they would look at the steelers current salary cap situation and try to make a deal in such a way that the steelers would have the least chance to match it. In this case, they will offer him for example 20 mill tthe first year, 1mm every year after that because that organization thinks the steelers can't match that first year salary. Those are not realistic numbers, but you get the point.
that's my first though. this, like the franchise tag…doesn't lock him up beyond a year either. We'll be in the same boat next year.
Don't like the use of the transition tag: almost as expensive as a franchise tag, none of the protection. The only way this works out IMO is if the Steelers tag him, no one makes an offer, and we work out a reasonable extension.
It puts a stamp on it "he is worth a lot to us". Rightfully so. We have no depth.
We never had a shot of getting comp pics for him. He is an URFA.
Im happy with a new set of socks lol
right no compensation right now in terms of draft picks (as opposed to a non exclusive franchise tag which would net 2 first round picks). They still get comp picks the next year same as if they didn't tag him as I understand it, so likely 3rd or 4th next year.
They do get a compensatory pick in 2015 if he signs elsewhere
i agree.
They can negotiate at any time including after June 1 when they can free up half of Woodleys dead money.
In essence, they could offer Worilds a front loaded contract with the $9m designated to him today, plus up to $6m more of Woodleys money. After that, the contract provides cap relief starting in year 2 since he made his money in year 1.
At the same time, they dont have to make that decision for 6 months and get to see how Woodley looks in the meantime.
BUT, its also not too hard to offer Worilds that front loaded contract in year 1 that the Steelers, with their minimal cap space, cannot match.
right, but what I mean is, it takes away most 'outsiders' concerns with his ability to perform going forward. Everyone is working off the same limited tape, but the Steelers know him much better than everyone else. The hesitancy of other teams would have revolved around the doubt of his abilities going forward. This seems to erase that doubt as best as possible for other teams.
They will get a comp pick if he leaves. Just like any FA, ex. Wallace, Lewis etc. They will get it in 2015
and no depth? I thought we had f'n darth vader in Jarvis Jones!? He's going to be the #1 LB in the league this coming season right?
I mean is that right? It may be, I am not sure with some of the URFA/RFA stipulations. But I guess more so, part of my point was, is there not a way we could tender/tag him, whatever, and be able to reap a compensatory pick if we lose him? The above comments explaining the transtion tag seem to suggest there is and one of the downfalls of tagging him this way was no compensation.
but not as of this designation, correct?
especially the thermal work boot socks…THE best
The undertone to this whole situation is that 93 believes he should get 9 mill a year average. So, the steelers put a tag on him to pay him that much.
I don't think a team will offer him a per year 9mm deal, so assuming that a team offers him 7mm per year, the steelers could match it, or Worldis may turn down the 7mm per year and play for the steelers for 9 next year. Taht way he can't be locked up below of what he thinks he is worth.
Good move on the steelers part. They value him. Short of someone front loading that contract to 11mm next year in salary cap money, it's unlikely he is leaving. Steelers already promised him 9.
Wonder by doing this will it force them to cut Ike to get them under the cap by start of the new year.
So now The Steelers can not cut Woodley and have 9 million in cap space tied up in Worilds. Is Ike going to be released for a player that the Steelers may lose anyway? Can someone explain the pro's of tagging Worilds? Because I don't see any. All this did was set Worilds' starting price at 9 million which is too high for a player that couldn't beat out Chris Carter for the starting spot when James Harrison went down.
I guess they wanted to keep him or Woodley – so they went with the one that's most likely to stay on the field..
i see your point. Or the other team may look at him as he is worth much more to them than me because they have no depth. You konw what I mean. I don't think its telling other teams anything they don't know.
Dude was a beast last year.
Again, that is how I am thinking too, man!
No the only difference between Franchise tag and Transition tag is the franchise tag gets compensation for the upcoming draft. If someone signs Jimmy Graham the Saints get a 1 in 2014 and a 1 in 2015. The transition tag receives no such compensation. The team just gets regular compensation like a normal FA (a year later). Just like Wallace and Lewis leaving last offseason the a Steelers receive picks this year.
That incorrect. Gonna get a comp pick for Wallace.
Ike will take a paycut
I dont really understand this..it seems like there are no pros to doing this at all? Please comment if im wrong but I just dont understand
true. i think I'm just paranoid about anything other than 'he's a steeler for the foreseeable future'. lol. i think we will be much better off (money, performance, short/long term) with Worilds than Woodley.
Yeah but there is no depth behind him. As I told a Ravens fan on Twitter the transistion tag on Worilds has nothing to do with Jarvis. Worilds plays on the left side while Jarvis plays on the right side. If we lose Worilds then Woodley is gonna have to man the left side and there is nobody behind him for when he gets hurt.
May not have a choice.
No wonder NFL contracting is a mess…they sound like our laws!!! And here, I thought a franchise tag locked the guy up for the upcoming year! So a team can still offer them a contract (just doesn't happen often because of the $ of the tag) even if they are franchised?
well if they get the comp pick the following year … no real loss … but i thought the play was to stand their ground and only offer so much or let him walk … now it looks much like sanders they are n't really sure how much they want to pay for him
Cons: Can't cut Woodley until this plays out
Make have to release Ike if he doesn't take a pay cut
Tie up 9 million in salary cap space
Pros: This will be great episode of the Terrible Podcast
Tulleydew…you some sort of NFL contracting wizard? WTF happened to football?! lol
i dont see a lot of upside either … really dont
To me it sounds like it's a way to buy time. It's a safe way to see what the market is and have a chance to see how the numbers jive with the grand scheme of things. If he gets an offer deemed to high you walk away. This also might discourage some activity for him. Maybe teams will look elsewhere to guys that there are no strings attached.
I agree. Harrison and Woodley stunted the growth of Worilds as well.
The Franchise Tag gives a team like the Saints the ability to match any offer Jimmy Graham signs with another team. However if they don't match they get two 1st round draft picks from the signing team. It pretty much locks up the player b/c 1st round draft picks in the NFL are treated like gold. Giving away two of them to sign a player doesn't happen much
I know…i'm just being a d!ck because of all the hype around JJ last year. Projecting from that hype…we may only need one OLB next year in the almighty JJ!
Not a wizard….just a follower of this website!! Lol
Aint that the truth. Glad I found this place. LOADS of good information.
I'm not to familiar with the transition tag. The Steelers will have 5 days to match an offer to Worilds if he indeed does sign it. Does match mean here what it does in UFA terms? An exact match of the contract?
The move was wonderful!! It basically says they want him back up to a certain price. They will let the market set the price, and if its too high…See ya later, and thank you for the half season of production you sump pump.
Kudos to Dave and his staff. Most informative website for Steeler fans and it's not even close.
yup…he'll take a hefty haircut…the rest of that little 'do' he's got up there, lol. I think Ike stays. Of any current steeler that understand the business and where his value is in terms of the rest of the league vs. with the steelers…it's Ike.
by giving him a transition tag, it would be less likely Worilds would sign a contract elsewhere. If he does nothing he returns to the Steelers and makes 9.7 mil this year. Reports were his market value was in the range of 5 years 35-40 mil. The transition tag is more money albeit for only 1 year.
They may have put offers on the table.. maybe both sides couldn't come to an agreement, so this way the market sets the price and the ball is still in our court
Reading the comments confused me…
If another team signs him and we choose not to match, do we get the regular comp pick that we would have had if we never tagged him? (Likely a 4th or so in 2015) …Or is that gone for good now?
I believe it is gone for good now.
I think Ike will drop his salary to the 2.5-3million range. I get the sense he loves being a Steeler and he is quite fond of the Rooneys!!!!
I actually like this move quite a bit. My guess is Worilds did not like what the Steelers were offering and/or wanted to at least see what his value was. Steelers still have the opportunity to sign him long term and Worilds still has the opportunity to see how the market is. I wouldn't necessarily call the second half of last season a fluke but I didn't want them paying the guy 8 million or more a season long term. Now he can prove it. And if he doesn't hopefully they have drafted a kid or two in the 2014 draft
Thanks for the clarification.
I hope not. I was looking forward to that pick.
Yeah, I guess that being the case I would have rather them spend the extra 1.7 million or whatever the difference in the franchise/transition tag is.
There are two different kinds of compensation picks, which is somewhat confusing. The RFA one, which we would have gotten the Patriot's #3 last year for signing Sanders (a pick I would have taken every day of the week and twice on Sunday). There is also the compensation pick, where we get a pick based on a complicated formula the NFL guards like the formula to Coca Cola (this is the case with Wallace and Keenan Lewis.) If Worilds gets a deal that the Steelers don't match, it would be at least a #4 or a #3 (these picks are awarded by the league and are not taken away from the team that does the signing, unlike the RFA compensation pick.)
It will be interesting to see if we ever find out if they did put an offer on the table … problem i see is the market is over inflated and we won't be getting good value if we match
They were able to sign Max to a long term deal the next year an he turned out to be a solid LT. I don't see how they butchered it.
I'm sure that's exactly what they tried first. It takes 2 sides to agree to a contract – must be Worilds and the Steelers didn't agree on what a "decent and fair" deal was.
if that is the case, thats too bad … dont really want to get into a bidding war with a guy that thinks he's worth a kings ransom from a half season's of work …
He always had his highs and lows – I like the move to sign him. But a 1 year, $7 million contract? He was nothing special before that and was our third OT at the time! For the $7 million, he sat on the bench until Marvel Smith went down with his back. We won the Super Bowl that year, and Starks helped, but almost $1 million per game is not a good deal. They could have just signed him to a regular contract for less than they wound up giving him a year later. The only reason it wasn't a complete disaster is that Smith got hurt. Otherwise it'd have been $7 million to ride the pine.
God works in mysterious ways. LOL

Re: The Amazing Spider-Man Review and Discussion Thread (spoilers)
I saw the movie today and thought it was excellent. If I could sum it up in four words, my review would be "Best Spiderman film
When I first heard that Andrew Garfield was tapped to play Peter Parker/Spidey, I thought, "Interesting choice. Eduardo Saverin from
The Social Network
?" It's not that I didn't think he was right for the role; it's just that he was a fairly new actor, but sometimes it's the newcomers they choose to play superheroes. For instance, Brandon Routh's portrayal of Superman wasn't bad; in fact, I thought he made a pretty good Clark Kent. Garfield definitely has the nerdish, youthful looks to play an adolescent Peter Parker.
The story was much better than Sam Raimi's
Spider-man 3
. (If I could choose one of his previous films I liked, however, it would be the second one featuring Doctor Octopus as the villain.) Although I haven't read any
comic books, I hear that this new film--at least the origin plot--is more faithful to the source material compared to the first film done by Raimi; e.g., the web shooters that Peter created himself, Spidey cracking jokes, Gwen Stacy being the first girlfriend.
I really felt that this movie focused on Peter Parker's character--who he was and how he came to be the crime-fighting vigilante/hero. He apparently had a difficult childhood when his parents left him at a very young age to the care of Peter's Uncle Ben and Aunt May. I came from a big family, and I thought, while his legal guardians were very loving and supportive people, it must've been sad, to say the least, for him to grow up not having his real parents around. That sort of upbringing helped shape Peter into the anguished, yet good-hearted teen he was. And Andrew's performance as an angsty teen and sudden superhero was top-notch.
I'm not really fussy about his costume; for an actor of his stature and build, he did wear it well. In an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres' show, Andrew revealed that he had
underneath the skin-tight outfit.
During the filming, the papparazzi were busy taking pics of him at the studio lot. In fact, if you Google some of his images, you'll know what he was talking about.
Speaking of performances, I have to say that Martin Sheen and Sally Field played a much better Uncle Ben and Aunt May, respectively, than their predecessors. Overall, their characters and lines were well written, witty, and humorous, and I found myself and the audience laughing at the dialogues. Sometimes I thought, "What did [the characters] say? I missed that!" because I was too busy laughing or the audience was.
I guess I should watch the movie again. The only thing I didn't like was
that Uncle Ben's death was anticlimactic. He was shot by the thug whom he fought with and was killed instantly without talking to Peter or saying anything before he died.
Emma Stone was good as Gwen Stacy; she and Andrew Garfield had a nice onscreen chemistry together. I noticed that some of their lines/scenes originally shown in the trailers were omitted, like "My father has XX officers looking for you." To which Peter replied, "That does sound a bit excessive." I don't remember the exact words. Another one was at the high school football field where Peter and Gwen sat on the benches. One guy yelled, "Hey, Parker. Want to play ball?" "No, thanks ..."
As for Dr. Connors/The Lizard, he was a good choice for a villain. Rhys Ifans' performance as a brilliant and ambitious scientist whose mind was corrupted by his latest scientific breakthrough was almost parallel to Alfred Molina's Otto Octavius/Doc Ock persona in
Spider-man 2
The CGI animation was also better than the previous films. Nowadays, when I see CGI-rendered characters like the Hulk or Lizard, I can't helping thinking they're CGI, no matter how good they are. Andy Serkis' motion-capture portrayal of Gollum in LotR is still unmatched.
Overall Rating: A+
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
--Bilbo Baggins, LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring

71,127 hockey fans braved the cold and a few snow flurries at the 2008 NHL Winter Classic - the first NHL game ever played outdoors in the United States. Buffalo and Pittsburgh remained deadlocked at one as overtime expired - setting the stage for a heart-stopping shootout in front of a massive international television audience. With the game on the line, Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby squeezed a shot past Buffalo's Ryan Miller, earning a 2-1 shootout victory in one of the most memorable games in recent NHL history.

Resawing – Dueling Saws
Yet two more poor choices to learn from.
When starting this batch of resawing, I reasoned that using the plain ole rip saw would be OK because it was lighter and easier to handle than the 24″ frame saw. At one point I did show the frame saw to a cut in process but quit because the frame saw had decidedly stronger set and I didn't want to resaw a resawing cut. Then, along came comments from others about frame saws. So, out it came for the second half of a board.
The saws:
The plain saw is a Stanley rip saw of 1970's vintage, 26″ long, filed at 5 ppi, sharpened just before starting this recent work. Plate thickness is 0.034 inch. Weight: 1 and 1/2 pounds.
The frame saw is one I built from a Disston 1897 saw cut down to 24″ It is filed 4 ppi and I'm not sure when last sharpened. It has an identical plate thickness of 0.034 inch, and something like 50% more set than the plain saw. (I remembered it as 5 ppi, but it really measures 4 ppi.) Weight: 5 pounds.
The lumber for this comparison is an 8/4 piece of mahogany, 7 and 1/4 inches wide and 32 inches long. The resawing line is right down the middle of its thickness.
I sawed the first half with the plain saw (marked with blue chalk in one of the pictures). I added something different to the routine … cutting in from the end at a shallow angle. It was not easy cutting from that direction and I broke the "manhandling" rule. Bad idea! I knew from the feel of the saw that the cut had gone a little wrong, but couldn't see inside to know how it had gone wrong.
When it came time to cut from the other end, I switched to the frame saw. I kept to the routine prescribed in the previous post, without the shallow cut from the end: the saw didn't fit well in that position.
The difference is remarkable! While heavier, the weight of the saw makes a bigger difference than I imagined it would. The combination of its weight and slightly stronger set made for both smoother sawing and faster sawing. It was almost twice as fast as the plain saw! Better yet, it has far less tendency to wander. The blade, being held taut from both ends has much less opportunity to go its own way.
Two more points to add to the learning:
- Given the choice, use the frame saw. Even though heavier, the weight of the frame saw is an advantage and the blade under tension adds to accuracy.
- Avoid that shallow cut that has too little guidance and too easily goes astray. Oh yeah, don't manhandle it.

For some reason, I think the man knows what he is doing...............
they will be filing against those slobs at 60 minutes.
LL could get a billion dollars in a lawsuit. Now that will help the share price climb to $100.
quite nice right now. I think we must have leaks of some fantastic news. Now the question simply remains, "at what price is the buyout?"
I am guessing in the upper teens.
In short, you will never own NVAX again.
by the end of July.
is beyond my wildest imagination. A billionaire company builder in Frost with ALL the upfront real time info and data on OPK and they actually think they know more about the direction of this company than he does.
Maybe the most laughable investment folly of modern times.
international was a brilliant move. Next stop will be in the $100 range unless a takeover happens sooner.
Frosty will make the smart money millionaires.
There is no viable alternative, that's why TASR is a screaming buy and will soon be a screaming takeover target.
money to remodel. More great news for LL. CBS 60 minutes is wrong all most as much as Cramer, more good news for LL. CPSC type testing has been run numerous times since CBS story by private firms (government is so inefficient they take 5 times longer to do the same tests--and then they are probably not done correctly) with negative results, more good news for LL.
The house cleaning is EXACTLY why you buy more here. Founder takes over CEO job and it's off to the races as soon as the fraud CBS is exposed.
holdings. I can't keep up with Dr. Frost's buys, but I am doing my best. Frost knows his stuff and intelligent money follows him.
Bloomberg hates anything that takes the advantage away from the criminal.
all they need to know. The covering will be non stop from now until the last idiot covers.
Money is in the software management. TASR is going to the moon and the smart money knows it.
out the mess created by those now gone. I applaud his actions and believe we are soon to be back on track to great growth for the company and it's stock. Bought more this AM.
Just what it needs to base and run to $40.
endless growth lie ahead.
Obama's "justice department" is a bigger joke then Obama himself, if that is possible.
You really need to do your own DD. I will admit I can not name the names, could not even pronounce some of them when they were explained to me. Because of my prostate cancer I have developed quite a close relationship with my urologist. I even tried to get him to buy some OPK when in the $8's and $9's. My last appointment with him we probably spent 15 minutes on me personally and 25 minutes talking about all the new and different types of tests to help eliminate so many biopsies. He told me to two new ones that had shown huge promise and their offices were in the process of beginning usage of one of them. He had not heard much on the 4K other than what we had talked about. He had never been contacted by anyone from OPK trying to sell it. This was in February I believe.
I am not sure why you have to show so much anger towards me? Speaks very poorly of you as a person. My history of posts here have been very supportive of OPK and I am quite long (to brosen818 above I own 11,000 shares--probably not "tons" to you but quite a few to me, average price just under $8). I simply post what I believe to be fact.
The 4K Score test is getting very long in the tooth since it's inception. I don't know why you folks want to believe that the rest of the drug and diagnostic industry would be sitting on their hands doing nothing regarding new tests for the leading cause of cancer amoung males. You really need to get a life, and calling me names WILL NOT change facts.
Long term I expect this buy out to be very good for OPK. Short term, I really doubt it.

Hey fellow bombers.
I've been thinking about getting a couple of tattoos. Thing is, I'm not really sure what I want to get. I'm leaning really hard towards to chains from Bioshock right now, but I want something more visible as well. And that's where you come in! I want something symbolic and meaningful, and not just some throw-away joke tattoo. Here's a list of some fiction that I really like, and that's inspired me a lot:
- Bioshock
- Brothers in Arms
- Lost
- Blade Runner
- Apocalypse Now
- Mass Effect
- Fallout
- 1984
- Ulysses
- The Dark Knight-trilogy
- Pulp Fiction
- Looper
- One flew over the cuckoos nest
And that's all I can think of right now. You might want to note that I'm a minimalist, and I don't want a huge, complex tattoo. The chains from Bioshock should give you an idea as for what tattoo I want. Now, the floor is yours!

1. Separate the egg whites in a bowl, cover with plastic film and leave it in the refrigerator two days prior to making the macaroons. This is to age the egg whites and make it lose some liquid.
2. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a blender, add the raw almonds along with the powdered sugar, cocoa powder and grind until combined.
3. Add the aged egg whites into a stand mixer and whisk on slow and then move to medium. Add the cream of tartar when it starts foaming.
4. Once soft peaks are formed, add the sugar a little at a time and continue to whisk until hard peaks are formed.
5. Add the almond-cocoa powder mix into the egg whites using a sieve. You can grind what remains in the sieve again and put it into the bowl. Stir to combine well. The batter is ready when you scoop a spoonful of it onto a plate and the peak disappears in 10 seconds.
6. Add the mix into a pastry bag and add little dollops of the batter on a parchment lined baking sheet. Let the macaroon batter dry for 15 mins to an hour. You'll know it is ready to bake when you touch the top and it is dry.
7. Pop into the oven and bake until opaque on top.
8. Spread the dulce de leche onto a macaroon and close with another macaroon.
9. Plate and serve.
TIPS: The macaroons taste best 1-2 days after making them after refrigerating. If you don't have Dulce de Leche, place a can of condensed milk in boiling water for 2 hours and use.

Sumo Character Sheet - Partial
Hi All,
I'm approaching the finishing stages of this (I think), so I thought I would see what you wonderful people had to say before I start the final cleanup. It's part of a concept character sheet, and is intended to have a slightly comic / caricaturish feel, without going the whole nine yards either way.
My primary concern is the portrait. The rest is just a sketch. This is my first submission here, but please don't let that hold you back. Tear it up. I like the pain.
Thanks in advance.

I actually really enjoy the portrait. the only thing I can think of to nit pick at is that the lines are very soft and smudgy, a few hard lines would balance it out more. and the shading in his hair area doesn't quite flow right, I think it makes his head look flatter than it should.

I've seen it twice now and I definitely agree with that. I love the stage show, but the movie does do it justice
For example, Russell Crowe's Stars was not as weak as I previously thought. He's done his own version of it - and I think he does it beautifully. Not as powerful as the stage show - but he isn't singing "to the back row" in this rendition, and it's more of his own personal plea to God, asking for his help to find him.
I'm afraid I can't agree with that. I found Russell to be just as bad 2nd time around, and Stars still out of tune and soulless - there was no acting at all. Part of it was slightly better if I closed my eyes and didn't watch his (lack of) acting while he was singing, but that's not the point. And the Solliloquy still didn't have any impact either. He's the one person who didn't improve on repeat viewing for me sadly.
I still think that Master of the House could have been better, but that's not Cohen at fault here. I thought the delivery of Carter's lines - who had some of the funniest, were not with enough punch, and so that's where it was let down somewhat.
Yes, I agree with you there. Carter can't sing particularly well either so some of the impact was lost there, but she did make some odd choices in how she delivered her lines. Some of them were great though, it was just too much of a mixed bag.
And if I had never seen Colm Wilkinson or Alfie Boe sing "Bring Him Home," I would never had complained about Hugh Jackman's rendition, but when you consider what an amazing feat he achieved throughout the film, I now appreciate his version a lot more than I did first time round
Again, my opinion on Bring Him Home didn't change 2nd time round. No matter how great Hugh Jackman was during the rest of the movie (and he was, for the most part, brilliant), I can't forgive the mess he made of BHH. It was just completely incongruous to the context, he was shouting when he's supposed to be saying a prayer in the eerie calm before the storm. Not good at all, and he didn't even sing it particularly well either. A huge let-down in what otherwise definitely was an Oscar-nomination worthy performance.

Happy n Sexy Man looking for my Happy n Sexy Woman
Don't be shy, say "Hi"...(corny) Seriously, say "Hi" or else... ;) "Top 10 Things Guys Would LOVE to Hear on a First Date!" 1. "Damn! You are sexy!" 2. "I am a little bit crazy!" PS- I LIKE A LITTLE CRAZY ;) 3. "I think that guys with kids are soooo sexy!" 4. "Would you mind if I dress up as a sexy French maid on the next date?" 6. "I do not sleep with strangers, but I feel like I have known you all day!" 7. "After we start dating, do you mind if my hot girlfriend sleeps over?" 8. "You are so funny! I want to carry your baby!" 9. "Would you like to watch dirty movies with me?" 10. "If you don't kiss me, I will scream!" Please don't tell me that you heard these before. I would never plagerize comedy. I want a woman who likes attention, affection, and has enough confidence in herself that she can dress sexy in public. High heels are sooo sexy to me! Having confidence in your looks is the most sexy thing that you can do! Not so independent that she does not let a man do "manly" things for her. If you believe that men and women are equal in all things, then I pass. I believe that men and women are equally great, but bring different strengths to the relationship. I'd like a woman who can at least act the part of "damsel in distress" so I can be her "hero" and fix her (fill in the blank). I LOVE to put people at ease and make them laugh! FACT: I actually entered a local DC Comedy School but I was kicked out because they said I was a clown! Most people that I meet feel comfortable to open up to me very quickly and are often surprised how comfortable they can be around me. I flew jets as a navigator in the US Marines. I have been all over the world and I know how to have a great time! My experience in combat has given me a solid perspective on what is truly important in life. My current profession is so top secret that if I tell you I have to kill myself! (it is a very elite team) I'll probably just tell you that I am an assassin to put you at ease. ;) I enjoy staying healthy, but do not make working out the center of my life. Our first "date" should be a phone call. We both can tell a lot from a short phone call. If we can't hold a conversation via text or on the phone, we probably won't have much to talk about in person. I'm not interested in trapping either of us together for a long period of time if there isn't any chemistry. Once we get through the text/phone conversation, I like to meet for a drink at a nice happy hour! If you like to be spontaneous and hit the road (or air) to explore somewhere new, then let's go. If you go out of your way to treat people well and even surprise a stranger with kindness, that will go far with me! If you let a TV show dictate your schedule...please hurry to your TV or you might miss it! Lol

Southern CA to Central NY, GS noob
Preface. Day -5 or -6. 0 miles today 2700+ to go, I know this is supposed to be "ride" report but I thought background info would make it more authentic. This is my first ride report and my first long distance ride. I have no experience at this so I'm not sure how it will turn out. I have been dreaming of doing something like this for a long time. Knowing that my employment was temporary helped moved these long term goals along quickly. One thing led up to another till all the pieces seemed to have fallen in place. Well sort of… The fact that I am unemployed sooner than I thought has put some added stress to the mix.
However, I keep reminding myself about something I read out a motorcycle book recently, "I care, but not that much". This motto applies to riding as well as life. Another source of spiritual strength has been The Big Lebowski, I doubt "the dude" or "duderino" would attempt a trip like this but his approach to life seems to make more and more sense to me. Dudeism is regarded as a mock religion and I enjoy that aspect of it. So you might hear some references to that half joking, half genuine, well "thats just my opinion man". Im also in the middle of Jupiter's Travels, so I this will be a reference for me. Of course the other book that doesn't really apply to motorcycles but some broader concepts of life involves Chautauqua. That's right, I know a lot of ppl hate the book on Zen and Motorcycle maintenance but I find myself bouncing between "classical" and "romantic" approaches and I like philosophy.
Rewind to last fall I got a call from a company wanting me to work in the desert on a one year contract. I had recently got out of the Army, and was not having luck at finding work in NY. So I jumped on board without hesitation. Since the contract didn't include transportation and they wanted me on the job asap, I dropped everything and flew out within a few days. Prior to leaving I thought that this might be a great opportunity to get my dream bike.
Long story short, I didn't know what was going to happen when I went to the dealership. With a little prior research I went down to BMW San Diego to look at some used GS's. Tossed around the crazy idea of a new one but since the cost was so outrageous, I rationalized that I would be forced to get the used model.
At the dealership I test rode one and I knew it was the bike for me, at least at the time it seemed like a good idea. In the back of my mind I was debating over waiting for the Liquid Cooled in the spring or just getting the older used model. I have this theory (fear) that whenever you purchase something big your almost always going to lose on the deal. It's a fact bikes or vehicles are rarely investments and a waste of money. Seems like anything you really enjoy will cost you. These are blanket statements I have said over and over to make me feel like less of gullible or easily deceived person. The idea of purchasing the used one for a few months and then turning around to get LC in the spring was going to be costly.
Considering the benefits of buying the 2012 it just seemed to make more sense att. So I walked away with a brand new one, with a lucky 7 on the odometer. Honestly it was probably the Triple Black paint that sealed the deal for me. I have always been fiscally responsible my whole life, saving and not buying new crap, so this was it for me. Since I never spent that kind of money on anything other than student loans this was a big shock for me and huge risk. I really doubt that I'll ever be in the position to do it again.
Prior to leaving NY, the process of modifying my 98 DR650 to the point where I could do some really long distance travel wasn't working for me. I concluded that I would probably only get so far with it. However, I agree with ppl when they say it's more about the rider and not the ride. So, maybe another time further down the road ill pick that project up again. Or in the event that I have to sell the GS I'll consider pursuing it.
Overall I don't have anything bad to say about the whole experience and I think it's the right bike for me. My only gripe I have is the cost. This is probably why I have been whining about it for the last 50 words or so. Now that I have the money aspect out of the way, I'll try to move on to more lofty and/or practical topics to share.
For the past ten months I have driven the machine back and forth to work for about 70miles every day. A few day trips to Vegas, LA and San Diego and one longer trip to AZ (overland/rawhide offroad class). So I encountered some nasty weather and some extreme conditions (minus snow and ice). Again for the most part these were 4 hour trips at the most, and the daily commute of 70 miles or so. I don't know these will apply to my upcoming trip.
I keep thinking of Jupiter's travels where Ted dreams up these worst case scenarios of being attacked, crashing, or hurt all the above. These concerns are real for me and wonder it if I have some kind of weird battle I'll have to a face like he did. I don't have any dark character lurking around, to face off with so Im not sure what is going to happen. Maybe the apocalyptic daydreams will go away on their own. Of course the conditions are not the same as Jupiters so it makes it even more ridiculous. I won't be crossing checkpoints, I don't have language barrier, I have reliable bike with service shops all over. There are stores, hotels and restaurants everywhere, not to mention decent blacktop. So given the lack of obstacles I face, why do I keep mulling over all these horrible outcomes?
Route Planning. Right now the plan is to stay off the highway. Coming from the high desert area I know the first day will most likely be the same terrain and conditions that I have been looking at for almost a year. I have taken 66 to NV border, taken 40 and 15. I would like to take another route but right now I would just like to get out the desert as fast as possible. Im considering the idea of taking the route to 29 palms. Ill make up my mind that morning probably. Major stops include Four Corners, Mesa Verde and Grand Canyon nothing else is on the agenda. I hope my lack of planning doesn't hurt the trip but I don't have the time to sit and try to plot out epic stops right now. It is a first for me so Ill take it easy, I did make some plans for tent space so ill be trying my best to meet ppl and camp in backyards etc. Also I am planning on trying stealth camping in cemeteries and sheds in front of hardware stores. All I want to do is get home to get my real camping gear, visit family, and turn around to head back out. Mexico seems like a good choice for the winter. Of course circumstances will probably prevent me from doing so and Im not really sure if Ill even like it. I'll just have to wait and see. Upstate winters are really not that fun, job market sucks.
Gear and packing. Hodgepodge. I don't have any of my decent gear with me out here in CA. I left it all in NY, so right now its just a cheap small one man tent, an Army sleeping bag and a yoga mat for a pad. I mailed my good air sleeping pad home because I thought the employer would cover the lodging cost, big mistake. No cooking equip because I have two new stoves at home. Don't have riding boots not sure if I need them. Ill try and find a pair this weekend but I think they are gonna cost over 100. Right now its just rain gear and some clothes. Ill buy a sweatshirt and head lamp this weekend.
Food. I have a couple of MREs and ill stop at a store to buy canned or bagged stuff. I might stop at a few restaurants along the way also.
The last boxes of personal belonging were sent this morning, so its just me and the bike. It now has almost 25,000 on it and ill have to stop for its service and maybe a tire along the way. This trip is by no means epic yet, but I thought this would be a good opportunity to try and post some stuff to share and get feedback from fellow inmates. Still cant get photos to load.

Stop at Chapparal cycle in San Bernardino or Cycle Gear by Murrieta and get yourself some rain gear, boots and whatever other gear you need, at good prices.
Sport chalet in Redlands carries a lot of camping gear at good discount as well.
Enjoy your trip. Don't over plan..... make plans each day based on the weather and the interesting stuff to you that is 100 to 200 miles ahead of you!
Have fun! I'm envious....

The main thing that will stop you is if you mechanical problems. Do your due diligence as far as making your bike ready, and after a couple of days on the road you'll be having too much fun to be worried.

Day 1 400 miles
Left at 0400. Decided to take 40 and go straight to the canyon. Nothing but big trucks out prior to the sunrise. Lighting on GS isnt great for that type of riding and I will avoid two lanes esp in the dark. I had no issues with the ride except they were doing some bridge work on CA side of the state line. Every single one I hit felt like I was gonna loose it. Eventually slowed it down and held tight. Stopped at Dennys in Needles. Building was falling in on itself. Clear ride that went fast.
Stopped prior to the campground to pick up some food and drink.
Set up camp at Mathers. Saw some other bikes pull in the loop. After talking with them found out it was Elenore and her husband from Germany. She is doing the whole continent . She did Alaska Solo on the Honda.
Here is the link
Day 2 spent puttin around the Canyon trying to figure out the next day went on some park guided tours. At lunch I was walking back up to the campsite and 2 Elk were just sitting there. They didnt move, apparently they are not even sure about the impact of elk in the park because they were introduced the area and now the population is increasing significantly. They also have no idea why the bulls make such a high pitched yelp or grunt or whatever.
Day 3 I caught a bus at 0400 and went down to Indian Garden via Bright Angel. I was back at the rim prior to noon. 9 miles round trip. The only near-injury event happened on the way back up. I was stomping along and thud. Look down and I see a snake on the left and lizard on the right. The snake does eye to eye thing while lizard is doing push-ups on the rock to the right. Snake goes away first, while lizard is still trying to be tough. I dont know who was started the death match, nor do I know the species.
That evening back at the campsite I saw the guy next to me had a GS Liquid Cooled. He was Aussie on vacation for a month. We bullshitted for awhile and he told me about the million dollar road, badlands etc. The road north of duragno was the best he had ever ridden. I had all intentions of going on it after mesa Verde but changed my mind last min. He also said his multistrada back home is way better than the GS, but the rental fee jumped up for the ducati. I think he said he was paying around $115 for the GS.
What really pissed me off was when I checked his gas consumption. I told him that he should be getting 48 or 49. He didnt know so I turned the key and sure as shit it said 50 on it, cycled through it again the other average was 49. Of all the things that piss me off about not getting the liquid cooled this is #1. Its only 10 mpg better...right thats not that bad. Well I do get bent about the overall efficiency of the machines. I try to find dudeness and let it go.
Side notes and alibi. I found some boots by Bilt they are suppose to be adv model or whatever. Actually impressed with what I got seeing how they were $60. Most of the other ones are well above that mark. Also got a Brazilian hammock on a whim. That turned out to be $20 well spent. Havent slept in that crap tent yet.
Weird thing is after a couple of nights in the thing, Ted mentions it in Jupiter travels when he gets to Brazil. The key is lay at a angle so you have less of a banana effect.
Another bizarre connection is this Quality thing, I made it past the point where the author mentions Tao. The guy has officially made to the point where things are falling apart for himself. Risks of the high country of the mind, i guess. There is much that he has gone into that is groundbreaking or a revelation for me. Maybe I have already covered some of this ground. Most of the pitfalls and traps he mentions I am well familiar with and have done in the past. He does do well at writing about it, which why I appreciate his perspective and writing. Its a challenge for me to capture the thoughts into words. So he mentions Tao Te Ching and makes broad connections to Quality. Funny thing is I started reading dudeism and Tao Te Ching for completely different reason and had no reason to expect them to converge. We will see how it turn out, because maybe he will strengthen the connection or maybe ill be able to have a better understanding the Tao.

Mesa Verde
Day 5, 253 miles. No issues on this leg. Some rain clouds but didnt run into any.Here is Four corners.
Here is quote from Jupiter's Travels, I think his writing style is awesome sometimes. After riding through a horrible storm...
" I had only to ride out faithfully to find it (light and warmth). Somewhere the same chorus is murmuring the same inexhaustible theme of light and dark, hope and despair and renewed hope, a world where everyone can be a hero, where there is an absolute guarantee of renewal which will be broken only once in a lifetime."
I mean the light and dark and hero stuff is ..whatever. To follow it up with the absolute guarantee part for me I think is really powerful.
$28 dollars spent at Mesa campground $5 to get in. Total bullshit, what a hoax. Museum looks like it was put together by high school students in the 80s. So pissed about the price next morning just went a quick tour (another $3) and got out. I think humans suck at understanding history and are even worse at preserving it. I did see a bear which was cool, it was hauling ass out of the woodline to cross in front of me. Met some Canadians on a GS. Nice ppl and glad we got to talk

day 6 250 miles on 160 through CO. Awesome ride after Durango. Set up a tent space with old2wheeler. Nice place, really a big help for me.
I pull in and there is another person also staying in the back. That day old2wheeler responds to stranded bike forum post and goes out to pick up this guy his bike his gf 200 miles away then drives them back. I still cant believe that he was so willing to help out. They had a blown tire, and on the way from NC to Denver. The bike is not working out for Maro7ak he was frustrated about the whole thing. By the time I got there they were mounting the new tire so all the hard stuff was done.
He was pissed in the picture. I assume they are in Denver now and safe, coming up with a new plan.
I checked and rechecked my tire pressure this morning. Need to replace the rear.

288 Miles. Almost ran out of gas once, need to plan out the gas stops better or get a extra gas container. Mostly Corn fields 96 and 40. Hit nasty wind in KA. Could have made it to MO but not with the wind and heat. Boring, trying to come up with a better plan tomorrow and for the next few days.
