City Council approved to reject all snow removal bids during their Monday evening worksession. The bids were for work on the parking garage and four city parking lots located on Depot, Brusselles, Market and N. St. Marys streets.
Bids submitted were from Denny Anders Excavating in the amount of $58,600, Krug Contracting totaling $138,200 and Kevin Auman Land Improvement Services totaling $416,000.
At Thursday's workshop of the St. Marys Area School District Board, Superintendent Ann Kearney in written comments congratulated SMAHS students Adair Gennocro, who took third place in the PIAA Cross Country Finals' 5K race; and Liz Dollinger, who was accepted into the U.S. Marine Corps Band. Dollinger will now be headed for basic training at Parris Island, S.C. Kearney said that this marks the first time a St. Marys student has been a part of the band.
Representatives from Elexco Land Services and EQT Production spoke before the St. Marys Area School District board at Thursday's workshop meeting regarding Elexco's plans to conduct seismic testing on 14.12 acres of school district property encompassing and including the site of the Bennetts Valley Elementary School.
Another piece of the puzzle is finally in place in the Elk County Catholic School System (ECCSS), following an appointment by Bishop Donald Trautman.
Fr. Jim Faluszczak was named the Vice President for Catholic Mission for ECCSS on Wednesday afternoon during a brief meeting held at the Elk County Catholic High School chapel for faculty and staff members of St. Marys Catholic Elementary School, St. Marys Catholic Middle School, and Elk County Catholic High School.
Major Chris Casey of the U.S. Air Force and an English teacher at St. Marys Area Middle School, spoke to students, fellow teachers and staff on Thursday afternoon as the keynote speaker of the school district's annual Veterans Day Assembly program.
"I recently spoke to the eighth graders about community and how important it is to take care of each other and never give up," Casey said. "Community helped shape me."
St. Marys Area High School hosted their annual Veterans Day Assembly program on Thursday afternoon, during which several local veterans were acknowledged for their military service to our country.
The program began with student Scott Barber, who acted as emcee for the event, welcoming all in attendance. The SMAHS Concert Band, under the direction of Chris Gankosky, performed a piece entitled "Regimental Honor." Next, SMAHS Principal Josh Williams offered a brief introduction about the program.
"I encourage all of you students to reach out to a veteran tomorrow," Williams said.
Downtown St. Marys will once again be abuzz the evening of Friday, Nov. 18 during the annual Light Up Night festivities, sponsored by the St. Marys Area Chamber of Commerce.
The evening will begin at 6:30 p.m. on the Diamond with the South St. Marys Street Elementary School Choir performing. The lights are scheduled to be switched on at 7 p.m. in conjunction with the arrival of Santa Claus, who will be arriving via a different method than in past years.
Members of the American Legion, Post 103 in St. Marys presented volunteers from the St. Marys Christian Food Bank with an annual donation on Wednesday.
The $2,000 check was delivered courtesy of American Legion representatives, Adjutant Jim Distler, Commander Dick Parson, and Chaplain Vic Straub.
Parson said the donation is in recognition of and appreciation for all that the food bank and its volunteers do for the community.
"It's a good thing these women do, volunteer their time. They help a lot of people," Parson said.

Secrets, Jump Pads, Spinning Blades: Rise Of The Triad
I defy anyone to wake up on a Monday morning, bleary-eyed and unsure as to the state of reality, and plunge their face directly into a developer diary for the Rise of the Triad remake. It starts with an Apogee logo, which made me think I'd journeyed back through the decades as I slept, and contains men talking about 'immersion', 'level design' and the 'adventure feel' provided by 'spinning blades which can chop you into pieces'. Four bewildering minutes, which is precisely what I'd hope for from the resurrection of ROTT. Brace yourself for a video where everything, from designing an environment to discovering a secret, happens at the speed of the past.

Re: From sleeping in the bed to the cratePosted by: Leslie Hemsing

In Reply to: From sleeping in the bed to the crate
: We got Rex in early Feburary, and he's been sleeping with me and my gf at night. I think we realized our mistake and would like to gradually get him to sleep in his crate.
: Currently, we recently moved from an apartment to a 2 story house. I keep him in his crate downstairs in the kitchen during the day. Should I move his crate upstairs to the bedroom? Right now he gets up at around 4am to go potty, and I'm afraid I wont hear him whine.
: Also, do I just ignore him when I put him in his crate at night? I feel bad that I leave him in his crate from 7:30a to 11:30a then 12:30p to 4:30p when I get home, then again at night from 10p to 6a.
: Please help :)
Since Rex is used to sleeping "with" you I suggest that his crate should be in your bedroom at night. By keeping him close by your side of the bed, you can hear him whine and then easily soothe him back to sleep or take him outside to go potty if he won't be soothed. When Rex is able to hold it all night, you can move his crate away from your bedside and then eventually teach him to snuggle into his own bed at night.
I understand that you feel bad about crating Rex at night after he's been crated during the day and suggest you don't worry about it. I have found that the "quality" of the attention we give our terriers often has a greater effect on them then the "quantity." :-)
Warm regards,

Art Associates of Martin County donate food to House of Hope
STUART - The Art Associates of Martin County is a group of local artists that gather monthly from October to May. At the meetings they exchange information about local art happenings and also learn new art techniques through live demonstrations. The focus is generally based only on art. However, once a year the artists choose a community outreach project. This year the members collected 128 pounds of donated food, which was delivered by member Mary Simon to the House of Hope.
"It feels good to help others who may be going through hard times. What better way than to provide food, a very basic need for all of us," said president Sharon Ferina.

Despite rain, Nueces County officials extend burn ban
CORPUS CHRISTI - Nueces County Commissioners on Wednesday voted to extend a countywide burn ban despite a rain-filled weekend.
County Intergovernmental relations director Tyner Little said the county is still too dry for residents in unincorporated areas of the county to burn trash, brush and other items .
Commissioners extended the burn ban for another 90 days or until drought conditions no longer exist, whichever comes first.
Little cited the Keetch-Byram Drought Index, a scale from 0 to 800 that county planners use to determine if drought conditions exist.
Anything over 500 is considered sufficient to restrict burning, he said.
Currently, Nueces County sits at 606.
Nueces County Judge Loyd Neal said his office is receiving calls from concerned residents who are noticing people who are not honoring the ban.
The county puts two full-time officers on enforcing the ban, which carries a maximum $200 fine if violated.
The ban does not extend to official, health and safety-related burns, Little pointed out.
A copy of the ban is included in Wednesday's Commissioners Court agenda packet at www.co.nueces.tx.us.

|Audio Mixers: Craig Ross; Lenny Kravitz; Tom Edmonds.
|Recording information: Gregory Town Sound; Studio Noir.
|Photographer: Mathieu Bitton.
|Arranger: Lenny Kravitz.
|Lenny Kravitz has walked the musical line between Black and White America ever since 1989, when he cannily crafted his persona through strands of Prince, Curtis Mayfield, David Bowie, John Lennon, and Jimi Hendrix. Kravitz has never been shy about his colorblindness but the very title of Black and White America suggests that he may finally be getting political, something he's avoided outside of the occasional free love platitude. Naturally, this isn't quite the case. Certainly, there are hints of politics flowing throughout the album, but Kravitz is never about detail -- he's about big bright broad strokes, a skill that's on prime display here. Unlike the monochrome It Is Time for a Love Revolution, Black and White America pulsates with color and texture, playing somewhat as a return to his one-man band hippie fantasias. If anything, this is looser than Let Love Rule and Mama Said and more forward-thinking too, the Mayfield-isms offset by heavy synthesizers and dance beats, the overall package bearing a modernist snap to its retro revivalism. Even with that stylized flair and cameos from Jay-Z and Drake, Black and White America never quite feels like it belongs to 2011; it seems as fuzzy and analog as its cover photo of a young Kravitz, which is of course a large part of its appeal. Kravitz's greatest gift is how he evokes different eras through his sonic synthesis, and he's let that gift slide slightly as he's emphasized guitars over the studio. Here, he reverses that dynamic, playing the studio like the virtuoso that he is, and he's come up with his best record in years, a shamelessly enjoyable piece of aural candy. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Gore Issues Moral Challenge on Climate Change
Former Vice President Al Gore directly challenged his critics and threw down a moral gauntlet on the issue of climate change in a keynote address to the BIO 2010 convention in Chicago this week. "What we are facing is unprecedented in human history," Gore said. "If you confuse unprecedented with improbable, the exceptions can kill you—and climate change is one of those exceptions."

YIELD: Makes about 28 chips
Using largest holes on a box grater, coarsely shred enough cheese to measure 2 1/2 cups.
Toss together cheese and cayenne in a bowl, then make 4 mounds of cheese (1 tablespoon each) about 2 inches apart in a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Cook over low heat (cheese will melt and spread), undisturbed, until bubbling and firm enough to lift, 4 to 5 minutes (do not turn over). Quickly transfer with a metal spatula to a rolling pin, allowing chips to drape over pin, and cool completely. Pour off fat from skillet and wipe clean with paper towels. Make more chips in same manner.
Cooks' notes:
·You can make flat chips instead of curved ones by transferring them to a rack to cool instead of to a rolling pin.
·Chips can be made 3 days ahead and kept, layered between sheets of wax paper, in an airtight container at room temperature.

Burkina Faso
Crossing the border to this new country we knew so little about was a joy: first there is the police control, friendly and curious. A few km south, on the left, we checked in at the customs, where a Laissez Passer was issued against 5000 CFA by a Burkinabe version of Chris Rock.
Officer Fidel signed us in and gave us his number to call in case we got into trouble or needed a party animator
The visa for Burkina Faso has recently become one of the most expensive in Africa: 47000 CFA at the embassy in Bamako (2 photos, 1 xerox of the passport, lots of cash, hours: 7-11 am for applying, ready to be picked up 3-5 pm the same day) or 94000 CFA at the border, valid for one entry and 90 days. The main roads are tarred and most of the city streets are sealed, in the countryside they're not. Gas is widely available at roughly the same price as in Mali: 640-690 CFA/l. Burkina uses the same currency as Mali, Togo, Benin, and 1 Euro is about 655 CFA. ATMs are easy to find even in small provincial towns. There is no speeding control, but there are several Postes de Peage where a road toll for cars must be payed; passage for motorbikes and scooters is free. Beware though of the concrete speedbumps present even in the most remote villages.
Just meters outside the custom control hundred of vultures were gliding about an open-air abattoir
We learned here the meaning of the "atmospheric front". The sky turned black and we simply saw the white wall of water moving toward us at mind boggling speed. We quickly streamlined ourselves and faced the storm head on: it hit us like a cold wave, chocking and slapping and pushing us to ride as fast as we could. Left and right there were black trees and the space between them white with rainwater. Soaking wet within minutes, we kept on going and half an hour later we were out of the storm and in the blowing wind, that helped drying our gear a bit. The road to Ouaga is hard gravel, a ride that after the Dogon pistes felt a child's play.
In Romania we say "its in Ouagadougou" about something that is in an unknown place, far far away
There is no camping in Ouaga, but you can pitch a tent in the parking of OK-INN Hotel, if you keep a low profile and "contribute" at the restaurant. This grants use to the grubby showers and toilets by the pool and a quiet sleep in a mosquito infested field that is guarded 24 hrs. There is free and rather good wifi in the reception area, but the restaurant serves generic european food at very european prices.
Arguably the best brochettes in Ouaga: goat and mutton offal or meat, spot on seasoning, served with cucumber and onion salad in a baguette
Behind the brochette stall, a typical Burkinabe burette, serving Lipton tea with lime and fresh mint for 100 CFA. Also available: softdrinks, beer, coffee, yoghurt, omelets, rice and sandwiches.
The Dege Nazi: a lady we couldn't brace ourselves to photograph sells on Toe Street the best of the best version of this regional delight: millet couscous with sweetened yoghurt on ice, the perfect desert, breakfast or treat. Only available until 4pm daily, from 150 CFA/serving.
A village buvette on the road to Bobo Dioulasso
Brother and sister work together in the buvette
Bobo is the commercial capital of Burkina; the train station here, built in the 30s in neo-moor style, used to be the terminus of the Abidjan-Niger route. Now is is a reminder of the colonists' megalomania and a beautiful headliner in the city skyline.
The beautiful mosque in Bobo is famously considered one of the best example of banco building in the world
In laid-back Bobo we ended up staying for a week. Above, the least glamourous aspects of overlanding.
Slow roasted goat with rice, cucumber salad and fried plantain
An attempt at a Romanian summer favorite: roasted aubergine salad
Bobo was a good base for visiting Banfora, which has a great Sunday market, and Karfiguela Falls (access 1000 CFA/pers, plus 200 CFA parking fee). The piste to the falls passes through the gorgeous green landscape that is so south-west Burkina.
Irrigation system for sugar cane plantations.

Riding back to Banfora
Burkina Faso in the country with the most amazing skies
In Bobo we met the lovely Liana and Denis who are overloading through northern Africa with their dog
And back to Ouaga to apply for the visa de l'Entente that will allow us to enter Togo and Benin

Review: 'Smith'
Ray Liotta -- every bit as scary when he's trying to play a stable husband and father as when he's going utterly bat-guano crazy -- is Bobby Stevens, typical suburban husband and father. He has two kids, a cookie-cutter house, a job selling paper cups and a wife (Virginia Madsen) whose name -- Hope -- isn't a coincidence. They're a couple with a troubled past and plenty of secrets.
Bobby's past, it turns out, isn't a secret. He's an expert at his real job, which happens to be planning ambitious robberies. He's got one of those specialized teams that includes weapons suppliers, document forgers and a couple electronics whizzes. The supporting characters would be interchangeable if they weren't played by actors like Simon Baker,
"Smith" is counting heavily on the reservoirs of good faith for the cast, because Bobby's team isn't made up of "Ocean's Eleven"-style quippy, jovial hoods. The characters in "Smith" are the kind of bad news that you usually get on cable, rather than network TV. Bobby, who steals, lies to his wife and is prone to fits of eye-popping rage, is probably the most socially mainstreamed of the characters. Baker's charismatically psychotic Jeff and Smart's diversely amoral Annie are probably the most dangerous, with the other actors filling the shades in-between.
Directed by executive producer Chris Chulack, the pilot has a cold, austere visual sensibility and takes advantage of the steely Pittsburgh locations for the main heist. The pilot draws much of its relatability from putting its not-so-nice characters into welcoming environments, whether it's a beautiful sun-drenched romantic scene between Madsen and Liotta at a piano, or a vibrant sequence at a wedding. The characters are introduced early in the first episode amidst the somewhat botched robbery, so putting them in different contexts later makes them human, if not particularly sympathetic. Like so many post-Scorsese/Tarantino bands of criminals, the characters have shared history that includes romances, grudges and deep resentments, but they're all still pure professionals.
In addition to its familiarity, "Smith" is cursed by the kind of over-bearing seriousness that has colored much of John Wells' work, the quality that made shows like "Citizen Baines" and "The Evidence" difficult to watch and that
Where "Smith" goes after its well-acted opening is something of a question. In the very last minutes the

It's a great place. I've had coffee there dozens of mornings. I've never had a meal there, but I go for coffee and cookies or pastry at the stand-up counter.
3 days in Buenos Aires
One day in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires Off the Beaten Path
Half an hour wait for a cup of hot chocolate. What more can I say. Oh yes, that the waiter really didn't seem to care. apart from that it is a classic place to go.
The street is famous. It can be quite crowded sometimes but an important and interesting place to visit when in Buenos Aires. With a grand variety of stores, small shops, but not the best of Buenos Aires.
Suggest not to make rate changes in this street. Not at all.
Great place. This is not the historical cafe where the writers used to hang out (that one is also good, but not in this neighborhood). This place is the quintessential "Porteno" coffee shop right on the Florida walking street. Great stand-up coffee bar, cookies, pastries, ....
I have been there dozens of times. I love it.
I was enticed to go this place because of the review in Lonely Planet, to quote: '....was historically popular with politicians, artists and writers. In fact, Jorge Luis Borges and Pérez Célis (a famous Argentine painter) used to hang out here before the era of skinny lattes. The people-watching is excellent, both inside the café and out.' Well I thought...

"Apcupsd can be used for power mangement and controlling most of APC's UPS models on Unix and Windows machines. Apcupsd works with most of APC's Smart-UPS models as well as most simple signalling models such a Back-UPS, and BackUPS-Office. During a power failure, apcupsd will inform the users about the power failure and that a shutdown may occur. If power is not restored, a system shutdown will follow when the battery is exhausted, a timeout (seconds) expires, or runtime expires based on internal APC calculations determined by power consumption rates. Apcupsd is licensed under the GPL version 2." [1]
Emerge No results:
# emerge apcupsd
Configuration and Runlevel Registration

PGP Commandline- POC best practice
hi Everyone,
Im am new in PGP Commandline, Can anybody know best practice of doing POC of PGP commandline? or any body know where we can find video tutorial for PGP commandline.
thanks in advance..

When you consider your issue resolved, please click Mark As Solution on the most helpful response.
I've done a few demos of PGPCL and I usually do it like this on a Win7Pro machine + PowerShell with everything installed and environment variables all configured
- Create key for firstname.lastname@example.com
- Show default location of key storage, noting it can be changed or managed by UN
- Have a folder on desktop wanting to be encrypted
- Run the command to encrypt
- Show encrypted files
- Have batch file prepared to decrypt, open batch file to show code then run it, to show its batch file functionality
PGPCL is so simple to demonstrate, but trying to demonstrate its leverage and power is quite tricky, that has to be said rather than shown.
Please mark posts as solutions if they solve your problem!
Sure, I'll whip one up for you, here's one that will perform the following:
Will encrypt everything in c:\DropFilesHereToEncrypt\*.* and encrypted files will end up in c:\EncryptedFiles
So the batch file can run at scheduled times, i.e once an hour, every 5 minutes, however you want to do it, and any propriatary program or even a user can just save files in there to be encrypted for archiving or whatever.
Please mark posts as solutions if they solve your problem!

Virginia has several major interstates and highways, including I-95, I-395, I-495 to the north, I-77 and I-81 to the west, I-66 crossing northern Virginia and I-64 crossing central Virginia. These several interstates provide an endless stream of motorists, many of whom are violating the law by driving too fast, driving without a valid license, driving with a suspended license, driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs or refusing to submit to a blood/breath test. In addition, the punishments in Virginia for such offenses seem to consistently increase, so a conviction in Virginia can have major consequences for the person accused.

Industrial in style, this handsome table lamp features a cage design with Edison bulbs for a vintage look and feel.
Add a little urban flair to your home with this industrial style table lamp lamp. Three Edison bulbs are surrounded by a top cage that leads to a screen for a warm, ambient glow. Made of metal with a distressed finish in bronze and rust tones.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
This lamp is very well built and very stylish at the same time. We placed it in our living room on a end/tea table and it not only looks great, but the 3 edison bulbs combined provide great light.
I have a dark living room and this is perfect. I was a little leary when I first opened the box but the light that this throws off is wonderful. I have several other lamps and this is the only one that lightens the room. The color is a little more brown than I wanted, I like bronze but everything else is so great I don't care about the color.
Love everything about the lamp, great size, nice amount of light, made very well. Love the screen lampshade, and grill top. I know I will not see this in everyone's home, and have a feeling it will be a conversation piece. The light bulbs are perfect and give a warm glow but, enough light. Couldn't be happier. I don't know how the lampshade screen will clean, but I think a damp cloth would do the trick I will have to wait on see. All in all came well packed, no problems at all, I am as happy as can be. Always worry when ordering on line, but no complaints in any area.
Our associates are standing by to assist you.

Firefox gets a fresh security update

Firefox to get phishing shieldMarch 8, 2006
Security update out for Firefox 1.5February 2, 2006
The Firefox 188.8.131.52 update is designed to address vulnerabilities in versions 1.5 through 220.127.116.11.
Malicious attackers could exploit the flaws to cause a denial-of-service attack, which in turn may allow them to take remote control of a user's system, according to an alert from security research company Secunia, which rates the flaw as "highly critical."
The flaws may be exploited when people attempt to engage a deleted component with designMode turned on. While this typically will crash the browser, it could also result in an attacker running malicious code, according to a Mozilla security advisory. Mozilla oversees the development of the Firefox browser.
The organization said it released the 184.108.40.206 version early to tackle the security issue. As a result, plans for a larger update will be bumped to version 18.104.22.168.
The latest security release follows one issued in mid-April. The 126.96.36.199 version was designed to address seven vulnerabilities, five of which were "critical" and could allow a malicious attacker to run code with virtually no user interaction.

- firefox downloaded and installed the update within 5 minutes of it's being released. i love open-source programming....

- "...just weeks after..."
- Wikipedia policies would call these "weasel words," because they imply something without being obvious. The implication is that Mozilla didn't get its act together the first time, and had to issue two patches.
But of course that's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. It's the openness of open-source at work. "With enough eyes, all bugs become shallow." The bugs are exposed and fixed at a rapid rate, not "security through obscurity" and then waiting for the next Service Pack release.
The reporter could have gotten a comment from someone talking about the development methodology in the Firefox project.

- C|net, I believe 126.96.36.199 will follow 18.104.22.168

- Dont blame IE only
- I am happy!
The ExplorerDestroyer campaigners note this: even FireFox browser is not secure and have got critical vulnerabilities.
It is not only IE, all will have to go through this. But they behave as if IE is the worst of all.
And mind that, people try to find MS-IE problems quicker as they want to target 70% of users, not mere 10%.
So even FireFox is no super-browser.
(Note: I use both of them, so it is not that I am biased. Just be fair.)

well well..nobody told firefox is the best browser...and the explorerdestroy campaigners were well aware of this fact..
what differentiates firefox from internet explorer is what ppl commented in the posts..
one goes like this "days after 184.108.40.206"
is that a matter of shame..certainly is not..
what would have microsoft done for the same issue..
if i am right..
and if you are not usin IE7..your IE would be IE6 datin back to some 2001..
go to about and see from (C)199*-2001 ? microsoft...
so what did microsoft do in all these years..
famous for their snaggness in bringin out security updates..who would prefer IE ?
firefox will be and should be targetted by malacious code wirters..but since our browser is an open source thing..we would come up with quick and effective workarounds..
its not a matter of shame for firefox users..rather it should be like this..
ppl somewhere in the world are keen in my security and it was only yest they fixed 'nother bug..
keep it up mozilla
btw..author is noway connected to mozilla.org..
yeah..i use firefox
cheers ppl.

Black Afgano by Nasomatto
I love the rare and odd scent. I love the ones that you can put on in the morning and when you get home late at night, the scent still goes strong. It's bold and makes a statement and it's my little secret among my friends. I won't tell them what it is; I like having something all to my own.

Sedona Welcomes Special Guests, Hosts Openings, Celebrations on 1st Friday Gallery Tour
The skies are clear, the red rocks are gorgeous and visible again in all their glory -- and it's time to enjoy Sedona's famed hospitality! Sedona's finest art galleries invite the public to enjoy a special evening of openings, special guests, artist receptions and celebrations at their 1st Friday Gallery Tour tonight, June 6th from 5 - 8pm.

Marshals arrest man, 30, wanted on warrants here
U.S. Marshals based in Birmingham, Ala., arrested Rudy Arriola on federal charges of possession of a controlled substance and warrants involving assault causing bodily injury, possession of marijuana and prohibited weapons charges after a standoff outside his girlfriend's house in Oxford, Ala.
Officials from the U.S. Marshals office in Corpus Christi released a statement Wednesday with details of the arrest.
According to the statement, Arriola barricaded himself inside the home for nearly an hour before walking out with an infant in his arms, which he used as a human shield before he surrendered.
After his arrest, U.S. Marshals found a handgun and more than 15 pounds of marijuana inside the house.
U.S. Marshal Carlos Trevizo, the supervisor for the Corpus Christi and Victoria division, said Wednesday the investigation is ongoing and Arriola likely would face additional charges.
The infant, who was later identified as the girlfriend's child, was not injured.
Arriola is pending extradition to Corpus Christi, and as of late Wednesday had not been booked into the Nueces County Jail, jail officials said. He is not eligible for bond, Trevizo said.

Owen & Kyle's Excellent Adventure: TAT08
So, this one is a little bit late in coming, but here it is nonetheless; to follow is a Trans-America Trail adventure!
Owen and I (Kyle) met freshmen year of college (2003), through a mutual interest in everything motorsports. At the time, we were primarily involved in automotive motorsports, building and racing cars of various types. However, as these things often go, that took a turn for the better (or the worse) when we "discovered" motorcycles. In hindsight, it was bound to happen; both of us grew up racing mountain bikes, and then racing cars, so it was a natural progression. We spent the next 4 years designing cars, building cars, racing cars, and fixing cars, and eventually doing the same with motorcycles, occasionally persuing degrees in mechanical engineering as deemed necessary.
In 2005, I bought a new ZZR600, the former supersport billed "sport tourer." I proceeded to ride that bike everywhere, putting 10k miles on it in the first year, completing several track days, and spending the majority of my free time on the bike. In the meantime, Owen was riding (and collecting) various dirt bikes; he started with at least one 2-stroke 125, followed by the (never quite operational) death machine CR500, and a basket-case ZX-600 that never really left the garage. We also had time for a few interesting "side projects:"
In the fall of 2007, Owen and I graduated and parted ways; I went to an engineering job in Boston, and Owen moved to Tennessee to work in wind power. This was not to last for long. By the following summer, I had decided that I would be moving to Philadelphia, where my girlfriend was to attend graduate school. Around July, Owen frantically called me, as he often does when he is hatching a scheme; this time, the scheme was to ride dirt bikes across America. You can probably guess what happened next.

As Kyle stated, we both achieved a few degrees in Mechanical Engineering and went our separate ways. I returned home to work for a BOP contractor who was riding the wind power boom and went straight to work in west Texas. This picture really makes these things look small, but to the middle of the rotor, these things are 262.5 feet tall and the blades are 123 feet long each. If there is anyone else in the wind industry out there reading this, these are GE 1.5MW SLE machines. We installed 172 south of Big Spring TX last year.
I was mainly involved in the installation process of the turbines and got some fun safety training out of it! This is a picture of us learning how to get out of the towers as fast as possible if there is a fire in the 'nacelle' which is the box part where the generator, main shaft, and gearbox are. It takes some nerve to do this, but like anything you get used to it.
In high school our weekends usually involved heading to Western NC to learn to drift on the fire roads and I always figured there was a way to follow these roads across the country. Thus, I eventually found Sam and the TAT......

The closer we come to the edge, the greater the risk of falling off. -Carroll Smith

I started looking for a bike that would be suitable for the TAT on Craigslist and the first day I found an XR650R that was already titled in the state of TX. My mind raced as I could think of no better bike to make a street motard out of eventually and the luggage available for TAT travel was second to none so I immediately called and locked in the SCREAMING deal. The guy selling it sounded legit so I drove to San Antonio and grabbed it as others sat there with cash in hand, but the guy stuck to his word! I love people like that!
As I bought it...
Here it is with most of the luggage configured as per our journey complete with new swingarm bearings, the Valdez equivalent of a fuel tank, and other bits needed for real TAT travel.
I rented a minivan and tossed my bike in the back with the wheels off, which turned out to work supprisingly well! Then I drove 1100 miles straight through and got home to meet Kyle. I am still very pissed that I don't have a picture of the bike in the fan, it was quite funny. So after Kyle's KLR disaster/moving disaster/crappy ride down to WNC in the rain, we met up at the Tsali campground to test out our gear and play on the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway back to my place in Chattanooga to do maintenance. In college I became a burrito connoisseur out of necessity and made some awesome ones at camp to make up for Kyles rainy trip of doom.
At Tsali
Parallel to the Cherohala, didn't like the street tires much... Also, we didn't really like the Maxxis M6006 tires either, the Dunlop D606's we switched to in CO were much better, even if they do suck compared to a Maxxis IT...
BTW, this site is a great resource when planning the TAT when you want to camp instead of do the hotel deal, we still have mixed feelings about if camping or hotels are the way to go for the TAT.
The advantages that we saw for camping were that it was cheap, and you can really camp almost anywhere on the TAT so you can have longer/shorter days if need be. However, all our luggage really made a profound difference in how you could ride the bikes, not really in the weight difference but in how much you could move around on the bikes. Maybe the luggage saved me from really pushing it at times, which could have saved some major crashes, but I had my share of those anyway.
Thus we did miss the first 312 miles of the TAT since we started in Bell Buckle TN, but I went back two weeks ago and completed that section. More to come in the morning...

A little bit about our gear:
As engineers, we went "slightly" overboard on planning. For example, in order to figure out what gear and luggage we wanted, I made a spreadsheet with every time I thought we would need to bring, its corresponding volume, and thus the total volume of our items by subcategory. Based on this (which came to about 60 liters, not including tools), I made another matrix of all the luggage options out there, their cost, and their size. In the end, I went with a Wolfman Large Expedition Tailbag (the "waterproof" one), expedition tankbag, and some cheap small tank panniers. I would carry tools and spare parts in the tank panniers, my DSLR and some small items in the tank bag, and the majority of everything else in the tail bag. The majority of everything else looked something like this:
3-5 days worth of food (mainly oatmeal, rice meals, nuts, and berries), a change of clothes and some layers, a cold weather riding jacket, and some toiletries, along with 4-6 liters of potable water (depending on location). I also carried a Thermarest sleeping pad, a North Face 35 degree sleeping bag, a tiny camp pot and a Coleman multi-fuel stove, and a Eureka "2 person" tent strapped to the back of the bag. On my body at all times were dirt boots, Klim pants, 661 armor, and a camelback.
Based on what I've seen here, I'd consider this a "medium" amount of stuff. I've seen guys pack 120+ liters of hard bags (although I still do not understand how this is necessary or possible), and I've seen guys run the TAT with only a small tailbag. However, to be self-sufficient for days at a time, equipped for camping at altitude and riding in all weather, and not dependant on someone else cooking our meals, I do not think we could have packed significantly less. We both took a few overnight trips prior to the adventure to tweak our packing, and we certainly learned some lessons along the way.

In July, when Owen first proposed this trip, I was neck deep in my own planning disaster: my girlfriend (who went to college with Owen and I, and was well accustomed to our hijinks) and I had decided that we would be moving to Philadelphia at the end of August. In order for this to happen, we had to make several trips down there to find a place to live, I had to quit my job (in the midst of a worsening job market), move everything I owned in one shot, and find a new job. So, based on the fact that the prudent decision would be not to take a vacation to ride across the country, I decided to go for it.
With approximately 8 weeks to go, I set out to buy a bike. Owen was already several steps ahead of me, as he had since acquired several more motorcycles: a Yamaha 426, and a Honda XR 650R (with baja designs equipment), which he would be using on our trip. Given the limited timeframe, I hit craigslist, and bought the first reasonably appropriate bike: a badly neglected 1988 KLR 650, in the "rare" "sough-after" Tengai trim, meaning more broken plastics and less compatible parts. Perfect! It only needed a new tank, a carb cleaning, replacement plastics, new tires, a chain, new cables, suspension work, a valve clearance adjustment, new fluids, fork seals... No matter thought, I had 8 weeks to take care of everything (and put everything I owned in boxes, find a place to live, get a job, and move).
The KLR in all of its glory:
With the bike running, I set out to put some miles on it. While I had plenty of miles on pavement, I probably had only 20 hours of dirt riding experience, all of it on a 125 2-stroke, and I figured any time I could get on the bike off-pavement would pay off big-time; it did, although perhaps not the way I expected.
My first long ride (up through Sandwich Notch, NH) went reasonably well. On smooth fire roads, the bike was a hoot to ride, 1988 tires aside. After a few hundred miles, I returned home, made a couple laps of the trail on my father's property, and did a celebratory burnout in the driveway, at which point the bike began making noises that sounded like a handful of change had been thrown into the combustion chamber. After a teardown, I found that this wasn't too far off.
So, about 6 weeks to go, and the engine on my bike is junk. Perfect!
Figuring that time was short, I ordered an oversized piston and ring, brought everything down to the local machine shop, and asked if they could turn it around in a week. They didn't quite do that, but a week and a half later (about 4 weeks until the move, for those keeping track), I had the bike back together, and set out to break in the new rings.
About 20 miles into my first ride, 5 miles from home, the bike quit.
On the side of the road, in the decreasing light of dusk, I diagnosed that the bike had no spark. I pulled the tank, checked all the connections at the coil and ignitor, and gave up. I was lucky to be able to reach one of the few childhood friends who was still living in the area (and owned a pickup truck), and he came down and picked up the bike around the time I got my 1,000th mosquito bite. 4 weeks to go, and the bike doesn't run again.
Umpteen hours of troubleshooting later, and I figured out that the bike's coil pack was broken. And the stator. And the ignitor. I'll never quite understand how all of these broke concurrently. In any case, after a week of troubeshooting, and another week to track parts down, the bike is running again. With less than 2 weeks to the move date. With 20 miles on a fully rebuilt engine, and only a few hundred miles on a new bike, I was not confident.

Fast-forward 2 weeks. In that time, I became unemployed, put my shit in boxes, and crammed a 26-foot Penske truck with all my stuff, and then jammed my ZZR, my KLR, and Kate's SV behind it all. Aside from the KLR molesting my (until then pristine) ZZR's gas tank with its brake lever, and 4 New Jersey state police cars treating us like criminals for parking a car in the truck section of the NJ Turnpike rest area, we made it to Pennsylvania. I rode my bike in the mornings, painted the house during the day, and worked on GPS tracks in the evening.
The plan was for me to ride from Philadelphia to North Caroline, meet Owen near the Tail of the Dragon, ride to Tennessee, and begin the TAT. This time, as amazing as it was, the bike had no problems. None. Of course, the same wasn't true for me. I had set out a GPS route that would have me spending about half my time on I81, and half on some fun roads on the blue ridge, including the BRP. On day 1, I rode 400 miles, ending the day at Peaks of Otter. On day 2, I awoke to pouring, torrential rain. Until this point, I had not experienced the joy of rain at 70 mph into an open-face helmet. I rode that day's 400 miles in the rain, proceeded to get lost several times, hit some nasty detours on the BRP, and finally showed up to Owen's promise of burritos as night began to fall. The real adventure was about to begin.

We rode from my house outside
View Larger Map
We rode all the way to
Random water crossings in TN. Let me tell you, I thought I could ride through the slick crossings. I went down HARD.
We both had crashes in the end, a sign of things to come.
Day 2: Bill Hill Pond SP (TN) to
The next morning we got up and went to get some gas a few miles away. After we fueled up the KLR would not even crank. We quickly realized the switch was bad since the headlight worked, but heard no solenoid click. So, Kyles brilliant solution was to just bridge the terminals on the solenoid with his Leatherman, which shot awesome sparks everywhere which they appreciated at the gas station This was an intermittent problem and one morning in NV Kyle decided to troubleshoot every electrical circuit and bypass every safety aspect of the starting circuit, which is a great story for NV since it lead to some hilarious scenarios when starting the bike when he thought it was in neutral, etc.
Kyle bridging the terminals and me failing to capture the fireworks.
So we rode into MS which turned out to be much more fun than TN because of the awesome road surface which we each learned to step it out a bit on.
The infamous wooden bridge with the pile of dirt
With impending doom due to hurricane Ike, we made it to Helena AR and tried to find a room. We thought we were going to be tough and camp no matter what, but this storm had us scared as we thought we were going to get a direct hit, but it was not to be. So we locate a hotel right off the route that we thought would work but was VERY sketchy so we moved on up the road and found a Sam Walton special and a hotel close by that was slightly less sketchy. We rode to the Wallyworld and picked up more good stuff for burritos. Some of the people asked us if we were in the Xgames, playing paintball, rugby, etc, as we perused the store in all our gear, smelling to high heaven. The social demographic of that area probably had no idea what we were doing on bikes like that in the first place, so who could blame them?
Luggage explosion in our motel room:
Here is the path of Ike
It passed during the night and we only got a small amount of rain but there were some tornados in the area
Day 3:
We got up the next day, ate our dried fruit, oatmeal or cream of wheat, and tea, and took off on the flats of AR towards the Ozarks, excited that it looked like it had not rained a lot. However, some of the farm roads in the area had a hard base with some silt/clay on top that turned into some slick stuff with this small amount of rain. I was hurrying along at maybe 45 mph and saw a section of this slick stuff and figured since it was so thin the hard base would make for good traction. Then it started feeling funny and the next thing I know I am about to lowside then I get highsided off and launch over the bike.
Below you can see where my rear wheel hooked and came off the ground for a decent distance in the lower left part of the picture.
The best part was that as soon as I made sure I was ok and got the bike back up to stop the fuel from pouring out I look back and see Kyle do the same thing!
So it gets wetter and wetter . Obviously since Ike had passed farther West of us we were heading into the path it had taken last night. These signs were not funny after a while
At one point Kyle had the most amazing save I have ever seen, a dirt tracker would be jealous, honestly. Below is the picture of his tracks, I still cant begin to describe how far over he was leaned and then still brought it back up You can see how he had a huge tank slap a few times, but he saved it.
Kyle trying to figure out what just happened .
Its a big blue watery road , which makes me think of being on a boat . (CAUTION EXPLICIT LYRICS WITHIN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfISlGLNU )
Day 4:
Thankfully after a decent bit of watery road we headed UP into the Ozarks. This was what I considered to be the first section of real trail on the TAT.
Here I am talking to my banana . We were a bit loopy already, which should give you an idea of how wacked out we were got when we reached the coast!
AND I DIGRESS -- As you can see I had on an Aerostich Darien Light jacket, and by this point it had started fading SIGNIFICANTLY. I was kind of bummed that my million dollar jacket faded so quickly, since I bought it to be obnoxious and bright in the first place I actually talked to my parents at some point along the trip and Aerostich had issued a recall for my jacket because of this. I would like to express my satisfaction with them standing behind their product, I will buy from them again!
Then we made our way down to Oark with the cool general store. They had gas that day, we were lucky. We talked to the new owners for a while, ate some beef jerky and went along our way.
Then we came to this:
So we went around .
After that we were a bit worried and just down the trail we found another large downed tree that we had to go around. This time, we couldnt just ride off the side of the trail around the tree, we had to ride 50 yards into the woods, across some kind of marsh, and back up to the trail. Someone had constructed a barbed wire fence where our exit needed to be so we simply removed the wire ties with our handy Leathermans, dropped and raised the wire, and pulled the bike through the wires, closing them after we came through. Too bad no pics
Then we ended up camping on the side of the road next to a nice stream.

Day 5: Christie OK to Wah-She-She Park, OK (229 miles)
After our previous day of detours, and with the image of straight Oklahoma roads ahead, we set out to knock out some serious mileage. However, we quickly were stopped on the way out of Moodys, by a downed bridge. Now, some downed bridges are just a reason to be adventurous, but this was not one of those, as it crossed a veritable raging river.
50 miles of detour later, and we were back on track. Initially, the roads were similar to Arkansas, with hills and twists. However, this changed before the day was up, and we were soon riding on the roads we had expected to see. Long, straight, and marginally smooth, these roads encouraged us to pick up the pace. However, at 55 miles per hour, the roads became pretty brutal; you could cruise along for hundreds of yards, even miles, with nary a problem, and then youd come across a drainage ditch, a washout, or a bump, blending into the road surface until you were virtually on top of it. Our bikes began to take a pounding. On numerous occasions, I slammed into a rut or a bump, bottomed out the rear suspension, and then took back off, with the rear wheel attempting to pole-vault over the front. At one point, Owen went bombing over the crest of a small hill, riding in one of the two tire tracks, only to find a rancher heading up the other side at approximately the same speed. A fistful of brake and several different types of skidmarks later, he was off the side of the road, breathing the trucks dust.
The type of sign you love to see:
Typical roads in eastern OK; note the road continuing perfectly straight to the horizon. It was over one of these crests that Owen met his rancher friend, and almost became a hood ornament.
We finished the day up at Wah-She-She campground, a nice place with showers, a luxury we would soon be without. After unloading our gear and setting the tents up to dry, we rode 30 or 40 miles each way to the closest gas station, to buy a six-pack and a can of tomatoes. After riding all day, youll do almost anything for a cold (or, by the time we got back to camp, a quite warm) beer.
Cool bridge near the campground:
Sunset over Hulah Lake, as seen from our campsite:
Day 6: Wah-She-She State Park, OK to Beaver Dunes State Park, OK (350 miles)
Time to crunch some miles! We set out to ride the rest of Oklahoma, already tiring of the straight roads and hidden traps. The day started as one might expect:
No bother, just check out the GPS, re-route around it, and get back on the trail as quickly as possible!
Well, shit. At this point we had spent several hours trying to evade various floods, riding through the ones that were tolerable, and turning around at the ones that werent. We were pissed, and frustrated. Luckily, the whole day didnt go this way. Some of the day went like this:
This was the stickiest, nastiest mud I had ever seen in my life. If you cant tell from the picture, Owen is in up above his ankles, with the bike at redline in first gear, and just barely able to push the front tire along. Classic Oklahoma.
Luckily, the day was not all bad. At one point, out of nowhere, we were riding through a wildlife preserve full of wild buffalo! I had certainly never seen a buffalo, let alone roaming freely, so this was pretty cool (and the dirt roads through the preserve were fantastic). That being said, we kept the speed in check through here, to avoid a high-speed buffalo collision.
All excitement aside, the majority of the mileage was on straight Oklahoma farm roads. Coming from the east coast, the wide open spaces in Oklahoma were almost unimaginable; as far as the eye could see were open fields, dotted with the occasional farms, and intersected by straight roads on a perfect 1-mile grid.
The better of these roads were fantastic to bomb down. However, the worse ones were a nightmare. At one point, bombing along at 50 mph, we came across a 6-foot wide sinkhole, with a depth approaching five feet; our safety margin for being able to stop in time was measured in feet, and not many of them. There were also plenty of the aforementioned surprise traps; I specifically remember one occurrence where the rear bottomed out so hard, and then flew several feet into the air, and then bottomed out again on landing, that I could not believe I was still alive and my rear subframe was still attached.
Oklahoma rural decay:
We ended the day a Beaver Dunes state park, after riding for over 10 hours, 350 miles in total. At this point, we had a good shot at making it to Colorado the following day. This was becoming important, as we had arranged to pick up a new tire for Owen in Trinidad (his tire was looking like this):

Events this week: MAM lecture; Bay View Wine Fest; WingFest
MAM founding works
Before the Calatrava, before the Kahler, before the War Memorial Center, there was the Layton Art Gallery. And without Frederick Layton and the gallery, we wouldn't have the others. The Milwaukee Art Museum, 700 N. Art Museum Drive, which is rooted by the Layton collection, is paying tribute to the man and his gallery with a 125th anniversary exhibition. In the Gallery 10 and the Decorative Arts Gallery, MAM will display the works upon which the museum was founded. And the Baumgartner Galleria will display items that illustrate the history of MAM. Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Lubar Auditorium, guest lecturer Giles Waterfield will discuss "The Role of Private Patrons" in Layton's development of his collection. The lecture is free with general admission. »Read Full Article
