Champaign HotelsKayak the glittering waters of inner-city lakes, marvel at masterpieces in hallowed museum halls, and discover the history of the town in unique historical sites when you visit the cultural town of Champaign in Illinois. Its historic Midtown area is a fascinating collection of old brick buildings still hung with their original signs, unusual antiques stores hiding behind tinted windows, and beauty salons sitting next to modern clinics and plastered apartment buildings. Beyond the town center, the residential areas fan outward in a creeping tangle of jumbled streets, whitewashed family homes, and mature gardens.Things to seeBehind the modern façade of the Krannert Art Museum, part of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is an impressive permanent collection of arts from around the world. Colorful African canvases overlook models of the human form, in another gallery the whitewashed walls are splashed with vivid contemporary artwork in abstract design, and throughout the year its halls are given over to music concerts and other artistic performances. The Willow Pond Golf Course is a little further north of Champaign, in the laid-back town of Rantoul. Overlooking peaceful, flat farmland, it's a haven for golfers who enjoy far reaching views from each of its challenging holes. The Crystal Lake Park is tucked away in the heart of the city, a popular outdoor recreation area with glittering lake waters, fabulous forests, and play areas for kids. In winter, the snow-covered slopes are turned into toboggan runs, while during summer, adventure playgrounds are packed with excited children and you can hear the smack of yellow balls as they fly across the tennis court nets.Hotels in ChampaignWith its mid-state, rural, student vibe, hotels in Champaign are largely comfortable motel style rooms with modern conveniences that won't break the bank. They're dotted over the city, sticking closer to the university campus grounds than straying into residential areas. Typically, you will enjoy modern bedrooms with 1 or 2 double beds, a private bathroom with a tub as well as a shower, and televisions with a seating area to relax in. For total convenience on longer trips, some hotels provide basic kitchenettes and laundry facilities which might not be glamorous but are certainly welcome when you're away from home.Where to stayChampaign is characterized by the university it shares with neighboring Urbana, an arts based learning environment that breathes creative life into the town's municipal streets. You'll find hotels in Champaign clustered around South Neil Street close to the university's Natural History complex, or north, close to Interstate 74 and the multilevel Market Place Mall. Nearby Urbana is almost an extension of Champaign. Its streets roll into each other, surrounding the sprawling learning campus of the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana. It's a quiet, laid-back town filled with brick-built apartment blocks, trendy student-loved bars, and boutique shopping in its main street.How to get to ChampaignBy far the closest international airport to Champaign is Indianapolis International Airport which lies 123 miles across the state border to the east. It's a straight road through and on the Greyhound bus service route, giving travelers a practical choice of onward transportation. Sadly, trains don't run between the 2 cities, so the only other feasible form of transport is to hire a car and make the journey yourself. Once you're in Champaign you'll find it easy to get around, either by local bus, taxi, or on foot.

Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog has missed the past three games with a head injury and will miss at least one more game on Saturday after the team placed him on the injured reserve list, NHL.com reported Friday. Landeskog, 19, is eligible to be activated for Monday's game, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready to return then. Landeskog's injury resulted from a big hit applied by Sharks defenseman Brad Stuart last Saturday. Landeskog returned later in that game and played a total of 16:23. He has one goal in four games this season. Also, Colorado's David Jones is day-to-day with a knee injury, according to the Denver Post.

LEBANON, Tenn. - While Suwanee police remain closed-lipped about an investigation into an Illinois truck driver's connection to a slaying there, authorities in Tennessee have filed a third set of murder charges against the man.Suwanee authorities said Thursday they are still awaiting DNA testing from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to see if it links driver Bruce Mendenhall, 56, of Albion, Ill., to the Jan. 29 slaying of Debra Ann Glover, 43, of Atlanta. Glover's body was found behind a Motel 6 on Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road. Meanwhile, police in Lebanon, Tenn., have filed murder charges against Bruce Mendenhall, 56, of Albion, Ill., who Nashville police say confessed to six killings in several states, including Georgia. Suwanee police spokesman Capt. Clyde Byers said previously the department sent a detective to Tennessee on July 16 to meet with Nashville detectives and discuss Mendenhall's confession of the slaying. At the time, Byers said, investigators would be reviewing the confession tapes and doing an investigation into Mendenhall's company driving record. Byers was out of town and unavailable for comment Thursday. Mendenhall was taken to Wilson County, Tenn., on Tuesday to be arraigned on charges of first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse in the death of Symantha Winters, 48, of Nashville, Tenn., police said. Her body was found June 6 stuffed in a trash can at a truck stop in Lebanon, 26 miles east of Nashville. She had been shot. Last month, Nashville police arrested Mendenhall and charged him with criminal homicide in the death of Sara Nicole Hulbert, 25. She had been found dead with gunshot wounds June 26 at a truck stop along Interstate 24 in Nashville. A police detective had gone to the truck stop July 12 to conduct a follow-up interview in the investigation of Hulbert's death. When he got there he saw a truck fitting the description of a vehicle that was spotted the night before Hulbert's body was found. The detective said the driver, Mendenhall, appeared nervous when being questioned and granted permission to look inside his truck. Mendenhall was taken into custody when the detective spotted what appeared to be blood in the cab, police have said. Since then, police in Birmingham, Ala., also have filed murder charges against Mendenhall in the death of 44-year-old Lucille 'Gretna' Carter. Investigators said she was shot with a .22-caliber weapon and dumped nude next to a trash bin on a service road. She was found July 1 with plastic bag over her head and duct tape around her neck. Mendenhall is being held without bond in Nashville. Law enforcement agencies across the country have contacted Nashville investigators to learn if Mendenhall could be involved in unsolved killings in their areas. The FBI has been creating a timeline of Mendenhall's travels during his 20 years as a trucker to determine other cases in which he could be a suspect.

Gear Question
Looking for a hiking snowshoe for my active...
Looking for a hiking snowshoe for my active daughter 135 lbs . Don't think she'll need the mountaineer shoe so I was looking at the tubbs
Women's flex series. My concern is that they are plastic. Are they durable?
Matthew Charette
The only bits that are plastic are the bindings, and the deck. The frame is aluminum, the crampons are steel. That is pretty common these days in hiking shoes. These would be about perfect for her assuming of course she is not hauling a pack weighing 30+lbs, if so you might want to look into a bigger shoe, a 25" would be ideal and give her more float while backpacking. If she is just going to be out doing day hikes and just fun trips out in the woods the 21" will be perfect for her. Tubbs quality is top notch, and I can assure you that these are more than durable enough for her, and should last her many happy years.

WBO Panel Isn't Split: Pacman Beat Bradley
Timothy Bradley's controversial split decision over Manny Pacquiao resulted in a review by the World Boxing Organization. A five-person panel of judges commissioned by the WBO unanimously agreed that Pacquiao won but won't reverse the decision, nor will it strip Bradley of his belt. It is, however, mandating a rematch, which might take place on Nov. 10.

Richards-Ross to Run for Twice the Glory
Sanya Richards-Ross is aiming for a 200 meter-400 meter double at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials, beginning Friday. Richards-Ross, a 400-meter specialist, is the world leader in both events, and expects that "50.5 seconds [will make the team] in the 400m, and the 200m will be 22.4 seconds." Both are slower than the 49.39 and 22.09 benchmarks she's set this season. "You can be the fastest in the field and be beaten if you don't execute well."

Albany to Austin relocation
So, I'm potentially planning to visit Austin TX for a couple months this summer/fall
Leaving between July and September as I want to see my sister Graduate HS, and stay with my family for my birthday.
This is my first cross country trip. Beyond Akron /Gettysburg I will definitely be riding solo
Bike is a 1986 BMW R80RT.
Here is the basic route I have planned
Albany> Akron 500 miles (Stay with friends)
Akron> Nashville 500 miles (unknown)
Nashville> Little Rock 350 miles (unknown)
Little Rock> Austin 500 miles
Or Alternate
Albany> Gettysburg PA 334 (definitely camp out) See battlefields, etc
Gettysburg> Knoxville 500 (unknown)
Knoxville> Little Rock 500 (unknown)
Little Rock> Austin 500 (most recent intelligence leads me to probably hop on the natchez trace and bypass Little Rock)
Delta Airlines 1 way ticket costs $430 US
I imagine I could do this on a moto with 500, the advantages include SEEING America and not getting molested by TSA, and of course: Having reliable transportation once I reach my destination
I usually get around 200 miles per tank, including some of the reserve.
So I've calculated 150 miles per tank with some reserve left,
12 refuels at 5 dollars a gallon. 300+ dollars for gas
This is on superslab, simply because it would be quickest.
Navigation will be done via maps and android.
I'm going to ride rather light. I'll have changes of clothes, a laptop of some sort, tent, sleeping bag, pillow in case I need to KOA it.
Maybe 2 sets of nice clothes for when I get there, more stuff can be UPS'd down.
So I'm looking for information. information. information......
Cool stuff to divert off the superslab for :)
Riding Company
Good twisties
Tech/mechanical advisement
Coffee/bacon and eggs
Places to stay (couches, tent space)
Spiritual guru
I will expand this as the time closes and I decide whether to pull the trigger on this endeavor or not:)
By all means PM me here, or email me/text call

hot as he...., you know the rest
Have you considered the temperature of Texas in July? I just moved from Austin recently, yep I couldn't take the heat so I got out'a the kitchen.
Average temp in Austin in July is 95-100 FYI.
I'm originally from Baton Rouge, but that was many years ago when I was a wee lad
I live in Houston and I made trip from Appleton, WI to Houston, TX and back. I also went thru Little Rock on one of the ways.
I would recommend to take scenic roads thru AR and MI if possible. I took scenic 6, if I remember correctly. I'm not sure where this picks up as I went North to South.
There are '3 sisters' near Austin which are intersecting roads that are all labeled 3xx which are supposed to be fun.
As far as TX goes, get into hill country as quickly as possible. East TX isn't exciting, in my opinion.
Arlington has a neat setup / memorial for the JFK assassination.
Waco is home of Dr Pepper.
Bryan, TX is A&M land and there is a cool bar on Lake Bryan.
Brenham, TX is home of Blue Bell Icecream, which is pretty cool. There is an airport with a 50's diner that serves the local icecream in a shake that is amazing. You can sit on a bench outside and watch small planes take off and land: http://www.brenhammunicipalairport.c...s/page0003.htm
I've mountain biked or climbed through as much as TX as is reasonable for me. The good spots tend to be where you are ending the trip, near Austin. Get some BBQ in either: Luling, Giddings, Lockhart, or Llano. Famous places are in all these cities.
Take a dip in Hamilton Pool once you arrive near the city. It will be crowded on the weekend.
A few nice parks (with camping) in TX:
Enchanted Rock
Pace Bend
Lake Whitney
PS You're gonna sweat your balls off.
Have fun.
A few random thoughts for you:
1) Even if your bike uses premium I think your average gas price will be under $5/gallon in and near Texas.
2) It's hard to overstate how hot and humid it can get in Texas in July. For that last 500 mile leg consider leaving very early, and plan to get off the road by 2 or 3pm. Between about 1pm and 6pm in July is not a good time for a long trip in Texas, especially on the interstates!
3) I-35 between Dallas and Temple sucks the big one. Lots of construction, slow traffic, lots of two lanes between jersey barriers with no shoulders, dogs and cats living together, human sacrifice, mass hysteria!
Once south of Temple I-35 is not so bad as interstates go.
5) Remember that Davy Crocket is considered a Texan, and he only lived here six weeks.
Welcome, fellow Texan!! :clap
And the gas cost measurement is absolute worst case scenario, this way I will have extra money in budget, she runs fine on regular, one of the last of her breed :)
Thankyou. What would be a suitable secondary road to get off the superslab?
Im gonna assume that far south id be better off holing in an air conditioned hotel then a tent
Has anyone mentioned how hot it's going to be?
Here's an alternative designed to avoid DFW metromess and IH35 parking...
"Its hot!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpktBGInl60
But Austin's also great...
What? I thought I was going so far south that it would be winter time!!!! :wink:

24 year old man | Circle Pines, MN, USA | Seeking women 18-25 within 50 miles of Blaine, MN
Looking for a women to travel the world with!
I am a student studying Anthropology at the University and own two Etsy shops. My goal is to travel the world as an anthropologist, and take/sell photos during my travels to turn my hobbies into increased income! I am laid back and open minded, but am also very hard working and love to accomplish new things, be it a new song on the ukulele, or a new painting. - My definition of fun is being active, some of my favorite things to do are rock climb, surf (have only done it once in Portugal but fell in love!) longboard and snowboard. I am looking for a women who also loves to get out and try new things, and who wants to do those things with me. I have such a blast doing my favorite activities, and I know it would be even more enjoyable having you by my side. - I am looking for a woman who loves trying new foods, experiencing new cultures (travel is a must if you want to be with me) and pushing her boundaries. Another must in a relationship is a woman who loves her body and loves to keep it in shape. I am an active man, and for me, one of the most attractive qualities, after intelligence, is self love and care, keeping your mind and body in the healthiest state it can be. But then, going back to the most important quality, it is intelligent to care for yourself anyways! Intimacy is also important. As I said, Im looking for a woman who loves trying new things, but also enjoys simply relaxing. - Love of cooking (or simply trying to) is a plus. Message me if your interested!

University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus, Minneapolis, MN
My favorite foods are Thai and Italian. My favorite band is Led Zeppelin. My favorite way to relax is on my longboard.
For fun I love to play instruments (guitar, banjo, ukulele, everything!) Playing soccer with my friends, watching new movies and listening to new albums. My biggest love in life, except my family and maybe you ;) is traveling.
The last book I read that I highly recommend was Inferno by Dan Brown. I studied abroad in Florence, Italy (where the book is based) in the spring of 2013, and it was so fun thinking, been there, been there, seen that!

I'm going to keep this spiel short.
Here are the facts: If you heat up your favorite unsweetened non-dairy milk and put excellent good quality 100% cocoa powder in it and sweeten it with stevia or agave, it's delicious. That's all you need to know.
Never feel guilty about hot chocolate again.
your favorite non-dairy milk - generous 1 cup per person
here are my favorites from most to least creamy:
- coconut
- almond/coconut- vanilla flavored
- almond- vanilla flavored
- rice or rice/quinoa
- here are my favorites from most to least creamy:
- quality 100% unsweetened chocolate powder such as Green and Blacks, Valrhona*, or Ghirardelli- about a tablespoon per serving
- stevia drops (clear variety)- a few drops to taste
- If you don't like stevia, try raw agave* to taste, but will no longer be sugar free
- Heat the non-dairy milk and chocolate powder over a medium-low/medium flame, covered, until it just begins to boil...about ten minutes.
- Add stevia drops or agave and stir.
- Taste, you can always make it richer in chocolate or sweeter.
- Enjoy and share a cup with someone who loves chocolate.

I had a procedure that was not working. If I tried to run: "BEGIN proc_name; END;" in SQL Developer or via script I had the same error.
I've fixed the procedure and now when I run that same command in SQL Developer, it's fine, but the script returns an error.
When I try:
sql = """EXEC proc_name"""
con = connection.cursor()
con.execute( sql )
I get DatabaseError: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement, but probably is because of that: Problem with execute procedure in PL/SQL Developer and I'm not really worried about it.
What is really making me curious is when I try:
sql = """BEGIN proc_name;END;"""
con = connection.cursor()
con.execute( sql )
I get the same error that I had before fix the procedure. Do you have any idea what is going on?
PS: This is a python script using cx_Oracle and I'm using Oracle 10g.

Cam indexing 950?
Has anyone had the cams indexed on their 950? I have a Ducati 996 and had a very good race shop in Dallas do a 6000 mile service including the indexing. I was surprised to find out that the 4 cams were off 7, 10, 10 and 12 degrees from the factory. Afterwards I was blown away by how much better it ran. The engine ran sooo much smoother, idled smoother and pulled harder. My results may have been so good because there was so much error in the stock cam timing. I don't know if all Ducati 4-valve motors are this far out of spec but it might be something to check on the 950. I was sold and will have any multicam engine I buy in the future checked by a reputable mechanic.
Just my Euro.0162 worth.
What was the name of the shop?
Hmmm.... Good point. I know 'precision cam timing' is done on LC4s too. The same should go for the multi-cam LC8 engine I guess. Worth some investigation! :thumb
That would be Jeff Nash at www.advancedmotorsports.com
His reputation is so good among Ducatisti that I hauled the bike all the way from Little Rock and stayed in a hotel overnight to have him massage my engine. Great work and a great guy...from Austrailia.
I actually have my 640 at Sommers ATM having it ported and polished and a general service w/ valve adjustment, jetting update and before and after dyno runs. Can't wait to pick it up tomorrow!! :jive :ricky

Starting issues. Battery, alternator or other?
Been having some issues starting the bike since it got off the plane from New York to Iceland.
The day after the bike arrived, the bike wouldn't start due to insufficient cranking power. We eventually got a boost from a car, and we able to start several times after stopping and shutting the bike off.
The morning after, there wasn't enough cranking power to start the bike again. We needed to get another boost, which was good for the rest of the day, starting and stopping the bike until it sat for several hours.
Does it sounds like a dying battery? Bad alternator? Or does it sound like something might be draining the battery while stopped - some sort of partial ground fault or short?
We're sort of in a small town in the middle of nowhere in Iceland. How can I test the alternator for proper output? If I disconnect the battery leads, what sort of resistance should I be seeing from the positive terminal to ground? I haven't found anyone in this town who can do a load test on batteries, so I am going to first look into other issues. I'm also going to try to clean all connections (though I only have chain cleaner with me and haven't been able to find electrical contact cleaner).
could be something simple as parasitic drain that resulted in a discharged battery. KTM are not known for having much reserve capacity on battery size. if you don't see corrosion on battery terminals and bolts are tight. unlikely you are having contact problems. any wire brush will clean terminals.
does the bike run fine after you get a jump start? that's indicating a working charging system, after bike is started.
anyways .. find a volt meter with amp features.
to test battery .. first fully charge battery with any automotive lead acid battery charger. then allow to rest overnight .. assuming you've got an AGM battery... 12.6v-12.8v range indicates a full charge. for LiFePO4 it's completely different.
for the load test .. simply starting your bike will work. if say your resting voltage is 12.8v and it starts your bike. odds are your battery if fine.
after you start your bike either with a charged battery or jump start... measure voltage at battery. your charging system should be putting out 13.8v to 14.2v at mid rpm.
most common charging system failure is rectifier/regulator or stator.
I have a Battery Tender Junior and a voltmeter with me.
A lady in town offered to take the battery home with her to charge overnight (we are tenting and had no electrical outlet available). She brought the battery back this morning and said it was fully-charged. I installed it and tried to start, but there wasn't enough cranking power. I placed it on the charger after because, since I hadn't personally charged it the night before, I wanted to make sure I had a fully-charged battery.
After a few hours, the battery tender indicated fully-charged. I attempted to start, but there wasn't enough cranking power.
I have a Lithium-Iron battery - Shorai.
I am suspecting a bad battery since it didn't crank over with it fully-charged, but I will charge it again, and measure the fully-charged voltage. If it doesn't start, I'll need to get a boost and, when I do, I'll measure the output of the rectifier regulator. I'll have to look at the wiring diagram, but I guess this will be applied directly to the battery terminals when the bike is running?
In the meantime, if it is a bad battery, is it safe for the rest of the motorcycle to get a boost while we try to get to Reykjavik to get a new battery?
If the bike will start with a jump and then run with the jumper cables disconnected, it will be safe to ride. It is unlikely that the battery will degrade to the point that it won't run. Obviously you will want to keep it running. All connections tight??
Connections are tight. I just fully charged the battery. Voltage read 14.25V. Tried to start and it just didn't have the cranking power. The battery voltage now reads 13.2V. I wasn't able to monitor the battery voltage when attempting to start since I couldn't hold the leads and start the bike at the same time, but I am guessing that the voltage is dropping really low when starting.
Bike is able to start with a boost and will run fine.
Looks like we're heading back down south to Reykjavik to look for a new battery. :( Could be worse.
This battery was fine until it got off the plane from New York. Could the cold during shipment have had any effect on the battery?
14.25v indicates a fully charged LiFePO4 battery. voltage drop to 13.3v range after one start is perfectly normal. if your Shorai battery will not start your bike at moderate temperatures, it fails the load test. if your bike starts every time with booster cables, then your starter is fine. are your battery terminals corroded? what condition are your battery cables on bike?
LiFePO4 performance like any PB battery drops severely when temp drops. difference is actual amp hour reserve of LiFePO4 will be lower than PB. stated AH on Shorai is not actual, but expressed in PB/EQ. one of the most common reasons for LiFePO4 failures is under sizing.
my recommendation for KTM doing Adventure duties far from home in cold conditions is to size LiFePO4 battery by actual amp hour. if say your original AGM battery was 11AH ... the correct LiFePO4 should also be 11AH actual or larger.
there's been all sorts of negative feedback about Battery Tender Jr killing LiFePO4 batteries. almost any PB charger can be used to charge LiFePO4 if voltage is monitored. don't use any PB charger that charges above 14.6v. now to confuse issues... during bulk phase of charge voltage is not critical. finishing voltage is critical, if left on charger for extended periods, like months at a time. short exposure to higher voltages usually will not hurt.
EarthX currently offers the most advanced LiFePO4 motorcycle batteries. with internal cell balancing, overcharge and under discharge protections. most any PB charger can be used. most important is EarthX cranking performance under cold conditions.
for more information on this issue .. follow link in sig below.
Sorry to hear about that! I don't have any experience of that type of battery, but you seem to be doing all the right things to get it back up to normal.
It's a bit of a coincidence that this happened after the flight. Do you think you might have pinched a wire or componant whilst tying it down for shipment?
I have a 2007 KTM 990 Adventure. I'm not at the bike right now (had to walk down the street to catch an open WiFi signal), so I don't know the model number of the Shorai right now. I'll have to go back and look. I bought the battery two years ago and I have had no problems since.
The bike fails to start on a filly-charged battery, but does start every time when boosted from another battery. When boosting, I am connecting from the ground point on the engine case to the terminal close to the start relay, bypassing the battery leads.
I'm going to check the cables leading from the battery to the start relay. I did notice that, when the bike came off the flight, one of the battery terminal bolts was rusted. The battery terminals look fine, but I will check the actual cables leading from the battery to the start relay.
Daytime temperatures have been around 12-14C, and during the nights around 8C or so. It hasn't been very cold.
I will look through your thread on batteries, but first I am going to disconnect the battery cables and inspect them. I'll do a resistance check on them, too. I am guessing a resistance check will tell me something about their condition if there are no visible signs of damage.
for Shorai that would be LFX21 (6AH measured @ 1amp rate) or better yet LFX36 (13AH measured @ 1amp rate) if you can fit in existing space.
EarthX ETX24 (6.3AH measured @ 1amp rate) or better yet ETX36 (13AH measured @ 1amp rate)
in brutal 200amp continuous load tests, for smaller size LiFePO4, EarthX has outperformed Shorai by a substantial margin. Shorai LFX36 did an outstanding job in same brutal 200amp loads tests. EarthX ETX36 also passed brutal 200amp sustained tests no problems.
Shorai LFX36 successfully passed a one year test with R80G/S including cold starts below 20f. EarthX ETX36 is about 10 months into a one year test on R80G/S, which started in winter condition including starts at below 20f. note R80G/S starting requirements are higher than fuel injected modern bikes. until if/when things go wrong on fuel injected modern marvels. then cranking requirement becomes the same. there is no substitute for having enough amp hour reserves.
currently EarthX is the only LiFePO4 battery with internal cell balancing, overcharge and under discharge protections. A substantial advantage in delivering performance.
that said .. my recommendations is to go with original spec .. AGM battery for rest of your trip. unless you can get a replacement LiFePO4 sized properly (11AH actual or larger)
going on a bike ride for a few hours .. will check when I get back
I was looking for the pic of your bike in the crate but I can't find it. Seems like you have a sump guard. perhaps check if any wires got pinched under it or touched the floor of the crate.
Failing that, I would go for a good old lead-acid battery and hope that solves it (or borrow one to try it). Good luck.
Took the battery out and looked at the battery leads. They look fine. I did a resistance check on both leads and they both measured 0.9 ohms. They appear to be fine.
I bought the battery tender junior just before leaving on this trip since it was compact and handy. Maybe, as stated before, it could have cause damage to the battery?
I forgot to check the model number of the battery, but found it in an e-receipt in my email from a few years ago when I bought it. Its: Shorai eXtreme rate LFX lithium battery - LFX18A1-BS12
if battery leads are not at fault? bad relay can cause these symptoms. to test bypass relay and connect jumper directly to starter using Shorai only.
have you measured voltage with KTM rev'd mid range? output should be 13.8v to 14.2v... this is assuming your volt meter is accurate.
Shorai LFX18 is expressed in PB/EQ or much smaller to original 11AH PB spec's. but KTM engineers are known for shaving off weight anyway they can.
for adventure duties, go with Shorai LFX21 minimum size. or better yet LFX36
or EarthX ETX24 or ETX36 .. EarthX has the advantage of internal cell balancing and newest models will have overcharge and under discharge protections.
but where you are at .. you might have to settle for what ever is available.
I've never had the battery tender on the battery for longer than over night.
I tested the start relay several days ago. I disconnected it and used some spare wire to jumper directly to the battery terminals. It seemed to operate without any problems.
I haven't measure the voltage with the bike running at all. I'll do that today after we get a boost and the engine is running. By mid-range, do you mean around 5000 rpm or so?
I'm just going to double-check the ground connections, but, If everything runs fine when boosted from another battery, I guess I'd have to conclude that the battery is shot. I will have to use whatever is available here.
This is how you balance the cells on that battery. The charger will balance each cell individually.

The statistics are certainly compelling: mobile subscriptions have increased by 45 percent over the past four years and – by the end of 2011 – almost 85 percent of the world's 7 billion people had access to a mobile device1; by the end of 2010, smartphone shipments had overshadowed PC shipments, making mobiles the de facto computing platform of choice2; and between 2008 and 2011, revenues for mobile apps and advertising grew by 153 percent (CAGR) to reach GBP12 billion3.
While all this may be true, when you look back at all the hype that surrounded the launch of 3G for example, it would be easy to argue that – in many ways – the progress that we have experienced in mobile to date does not match up to the innovation that was promised.
And as 4G/LTE begins to take hold, many are left wondering if today's projections will indeed materialize, particularly given the wild predictions now circulating: boosters paint a picture of populations using their phones for virtually everything, anywhere and at any time; from experiencing augmented reality shopping and conducting mobile video conference calls through to mobile payments and real-time mobile business intelligence tools.
Certainly, there are pockets of innovation that mark the path to this 'brave new world'. But the reality is that many of these developments are still not mainstream (some have yet to be perfected and commercialized), leading many to believe that we are still some way off from mobile becoming the truly disruptive technology that observers predict.
Depending on whom you ask, this belief can be attributed to a range of factors. Many businesses are reluctant to invest in a channel that they believe will cannibalize their existing business models. Others point to variable network quality, inter-operability challenges and complex technology roll-outs. And almost everyone agrees that security and privacy concerns are slowing the pace of adoption and need to be quickly addressed.
As a result, we have seen some of the most innovative advances made – not by the traditional global powerhouses and industry stalwarts – but by relatively new start-ups such as Square, Shazam and Twitter.
What is plainly clear is that the pace of change and the opportunities created by mobile are unstoppable. For businesses, the simple reality is this: it is no longer an option to sit on the sidelines or take a cautious approach to mCommerce, businesses have to strive to get ahead of the mobile curve to survive. The 'consumerization of IT' will mean that the next wave of mobile business models is being driven by users – whether in a consumer or enterprise context. And the dramatic rise in BYOD (bring your own device) - employees using their own devices on office infrastructure - is testament to this shift. Change is therefore no longer being led by enterprises but by consumers and end-users, and they are dictating the mobile business agenda.
The bottom line is that those enterprises that are either not willing or not able to change their business models to meet this new mobile paradigm will almost certainly miss out. Moreover, business leaders must recognize that the pace of technological innovation and mobile adoption is only just starting to pick up speed and is set to accelerate massively in the next few years. If they hope to survive the market transformation – businesses will need to devote serious and senior resources to ensure that they are leading rather than lagging the mobile charge.
There should be no doubt that mobile is finally about to take off into the 'brave new world'. The real question is whether today's businesses are prepared to survive the ride.

Dr. Jackie Walters opened up about her struggles with breast cancer on the latest episode of "Married to Medicine." She fought off the disease twice — once in 2004, and then again in 2008. It was especially difficult for her because there was a very high cost for her battle.
"Breast cancer does take something from us," she said. "The one thing that I do, I never got to do. You know, I deliver babies. For my story, the loss of fertility is the hardest part."
The Week gave Jackie a big thumbs up for proving that it's possible to be genuinely interesting without manufacturing drama, which is quite refreshing in reality television. She told OK Magazine that she wanted to show a different side of doctors.
"The coolest part of the show is that you get to see behind the white coat," Jackie said. "I don't think anybody's ever thinking of their doctor as a real person. 100 percent of his time is for me."

while we're at it Obama is just as responsible for the drought as Bush was for Katrina.
Posted 18 August 2012 - 06:17
No. Just no. Of course Bush isn't responsible for the storm, but he is responsible for the terrible disaster response.
Nobody expects the president to do a rain dance to start or stop the rain... but there is an expectation that Americans won't be abandoned on their roofs for days, and that we should put at least as much effort into rebuilding our cities as we have rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan.
Maybe you would be more sensitive about this subject if you actually knew people who died in that storm... any one of the nearly 2000, or any one of the countless who suffered from PTSD afterward.

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 1/28/13
The future of the Pro Bowl is still in doubt, but maybe not as much as it was even Sunday night. While NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and many others around the NFL continue to prepare for Sunday's Super Bowl in New Orleans, the future of the league's all-star game still hangs in the balance. With the Super Bowl media frenzy already shifting into overdrive, Goodell took to Reddit on Monday afternoon to answer questions from fans about the big game and all things NFL, including the uncertain future of the Pro Bowl. When asked about the NFC's 62-35 blowout win in Sunday night's Pro Bowl, Goodell seemed upbeat by the players' participation and the quality of the product on the field compared to years past. "I watched the game and noticed the improved quality of the game. I appreciate the players' commitment in this regard," Goodell wrote in the chat. "We need to continually work to make our game better for the fans. I look forward to getting detailed player comment and input over the next few weeks." Plenty of players didn't make the event, as has become customary in recent years. The ones who did attend still refused to put in the full effort — then again, what can you really expect at a meaningless all-star game? — and some of the tackling looked even worse than what you'd find on a high school field. But, whether it was J.J. Watt lining up as a wide receiver or the attempted back-heel onside kick, the game did offer some entertainment and an added level of excitement. There is no contract in place to keep the contest going beyond this year, which could mean shelving the game altogether, but Goodell doesn't sound quite as certain about that as he once did. So, in reading into the commissioner's words a bit, the future of the Pro Bowl is by no means safe, but his excitement over what he witnessed in Hawaii on Sunday is at least encouraging.

'yer poppin' on decel cause' your pilot circuit is too lean.... pilot circuit is supposed to be about your first 1/8 of throttle. main jets really don't have anything to do w/decel popping.... you chop the throttle, close the butterfly, the engine goes lean as the high revs come down, and it pops.... i forget what pilot jet you said you have, but you may have to go a size bigger. try the pilot screw first, i dunno how your pilot screw works, some let in more air, some more fuel. whichever way, you need more fuel, and the popping will go away on decel. but.... at least in my KTM 450, too big a pilot, and it gets real hard to start when it's hot, floods real easy.... this is why the FCR's have a hot start circuit to let in more air.... on both my FCR and the kawi/keihin CV36's on my ZRX, the pilot screw lets in fuel, and screwing it out is richer.... get one of the aftermarked pilot screws that you can do w/your fingers, and adjust it as you ride around.....google pilot circuit and your carb type, and i bet you find alotta info....

New team at Animal Control has animals and prospective owners purring with delight
CORPUS CHRISTI - Pet adoptions have more than doubled in the year since the Corpus Christi Police Department took over management of the city's Animal Care and Control Services.
The effort took dozens of workers and volunteers, changes in policy and support from the public. Police Chief Floyd Simpson said it also took the instrumental work of two people — police Cmdr. Todd Green and a new veterinarian, Melissa Draper.
The police department took over supervision of animal control last January from the health department. Since then, adoptions increased from 373 in 2011 to 788 in 2012, or an 111 percent increase.
Green said many of the changes came in August, with Draper's hiring. She was brought in to teach best practices in humane care and treatment of shelter animals and to increase the number of adoptions and live releases.
"Every day an animal is in a shelter, the chance of it getting a disease goes up by 3 percent," Draper said. "The hold time used to be 10 days before people could even see the animals. It's about being faster, quicker, getting the public to see them and choose them."
In July, animal control eliminated a self-imposed 10-day quarantine period for animals brought in. Draper, who was chief veterinarian for the city of San Antonio's Animal Control, supported that move and implemented what she calls fast-tracking.
Animals can be viewed even before they are spayed and neutered, and if a family wants to adopt the animal, they can get a jump-start on the process before the animal's release date. Even if an animal is adopted before its release date, it will be held until then and it will not leave the facility before it is spayed or neutered.
Draper also proposed a city ordinance that would make puppies and kittens younger than 4 months a ward of the department, rather than waiting for an owner to materialize while the animal is exposed to disease. The ordinance passed twoweeks ago.
With that, the goal is to get the animals, such as an abandoned litter of puppies, fostered with families looking to volunteer, or adopt, without wasting time.
"No one is going to come forward for these animals," Draper said. "The longer we keep them here, it's like sending a child to day care without vaccinations. They are so susceptible to fatal disease, like distemper and parvo."
If a customer comes through the adoption kennels and sees a young puppy and wants to adopt it, they begin with a contract to foster the animal until it is old enough to be fixed. If the family brings the animal back for its surgery, then the family can officially adopt the animal they've had at home for weeks.
Stray animals will be held for 72 hours, and animals with tags or a collar that appear to be owned pets get a total of five days for the family to come forward. Dogs — except those who show clear signs of aggression, rabies or some temperament that would make them unlikely or unsuitable for adoption — are put into one of two adoption kennels right away for public viewing, as space allows.
In the past, Green said, there could be fewer than 10 animals available to view, and the public had to wait for an available employee to escort them to the kennels.
Instead of 28, there now are 58 cages, which often are full, and volunteers from People Assisting Animal Control painted paw prints around the kennels so visitors can walk freely among the adoption kennels and dog runs. If they see a dog they'd like to play with, a volunteer can bring the dog to one of the open spaces. If they want to adopt a dog on the spot, all a customer must do is take a plastic tag from the cage to the front desk to get the process started.
"We've gated off the areas people shouldn't be able to access and the fences are locked," Green said. "The rest of the area around the adoption kennels, people can look on their own. PAAC volunteers will take a dog to the run with a family so they can get a feel for the personality of the dog and see how they interact. It's a lot easier for customers and there are more animals to see sooner now."
The free-roaming facility has had countless perks. One animal was brought in to a holding area and examined, and as it was being walked out to the kennels, it was adopted on the spot by a customer in the waiting area, Draper said. In September the agency set a record with 108 adoptions in the month, the most ever at that time.
Draper and Green also praise the members of People Assisting Animal Control. The group has being advertising for the agency and conducting social media campaigns. They often offer to pay adoption fees, which vary depending on the animal and its gender, and they even offer a free obedience class with each adoption.
Other changes in the past year include the Solid Waste Services Department taking over duties of picking up dead animals so that animal control officers can respond to calls for service. The quality of the dog food was increased, as the old formula did not have enough protein in it and dogs were losing weight, looking sickly and therefore less likely to be adopted.
Green also has seen to it that all animal control officers were given new, more professional-looking uniforms.
"We are trying to improve our image and our professionalism," Green said. "Also, a lot of the officers start their day cleaning out kennels, then we have people who get frustrated that we're not responsive enough. The officers have to do all that before they can even get to our field duty calls."
Green is looking to change that by hiring part-time workers to maintain kennels so the trained animal control officers can spend more time on patrol and answering calls.
A new quality control policy also has been implemented: Immediately before an animal is euthanized it will be checked one last time for a microchip.
In 2012 there was an instance of an impounded dog being wrongly euthanized after its owner, who had been cited for animal cruelty when one of his dogs died from neglect, asked a judge to give a second dog back to him. The judge granted the man custody, but when he went to pick up the dog, he found that it had been inadvertently euthanized.
That prompted another new procedure that requires a review and signoff by at least two animal care and control employees before any dog or cat may be euthanized, Green wrote in a September news release.
Moving forward, Green also hopes to add a second clinic for low-cost spaying and neutering and add space for a room of cat cages so they are closer to the building's main entrance.
"I feel like we can get even better this year and I feel like we will, that's our goal," Green said.

Dave Cockrum X-Men #100 "Death of Jean Grey" Pages 27, 30, and 31 Original Art Group (Marvel, 1976)....

When the team's badly damaged space shuttle has to fly through a solar flare, Jean realizes that she is the only one who can hold the ship together, pilot the aircraft, and save the crew. In the end, she saves the team but is not able to hold back the radiation.
Here we see all of the intense dialogue leading up to Jean Grey's death and how Phoenix comes to be, a sequence strikingly similar to the three pages leading to the death of Dark Phoenix in issue #137, including Jean's final scream, "Scott!"
Cockrum handled both the pencils and inks here, and his talent for characterization is very much on display. The final page in particular has been reprinted on a number of occasions. While the movie "X-Men United" altered some of the setup of the situation it featured a similar sacrifice by Jean leading to her death.
Note that the break in page numbering is because of non-story pages that were in-between, these are three consecutive pages of the story. Each page has an image area of 10.25" x 15". Aside from lettering corrections to the first panel of the third page, held in place by a piece of tape on the back of the page, the art is in Excellent condition.
Cockrum, Dave:Dave Cockrum was born in Pendleton, Oregon, the son of an Air Force officer. After spending six years in the U.S. Navy, he moved to New York and accepted a job at Warren Publishing, his first professional work. After Warren, Cockrum became a background inker for Murphy Anderson at DC comics. Eventually, he got his first big break, landing the dream job of penciling the Legion of Superheroes. His groundbreaking work on The Legion's character designs and costume changes lasted for over a decade. His tenure at DC was short lived however, as a dispute led him to work at Marvel. At the House of Ideas, Cockrum co-created, along with Len Wein, The New X-Men, the franchise that went on to give Marvel enormous financial success in the following decades, introducing such characters such as Colossus, Nightcrawler, Storm, and Mystique. He later went on to create the comic book, The Futurians, which had a short run as a monthly series and then as a trade paperback. In his later years he drew covers for the Blackhawk relaunch, and worked for Valiant, Defiant, Broadway and Claypool Comics. Dave Cockrum suffered from diabetes and finally succumbed to his illness on November 26th, 2006 . Comic Art

Spanish-linked start-up carrier Volotea will initially operate flights to 14 destinations when it launches services from Venice Marco Polo Airport on 5 April.
The carrier - which was established by Spanish low-cost carrier Vueling's founders Carlos Muñoz and Lazaro Ros - will offer five domestic Italian services to Brindisi, Cagliari, Olbia, Palermo and Reggio Calabria.
It will also operate nine international routes to Alicante, Bilbao, Malaga and Santiago de Compostela in Spain, Bordeaux in France, Hungarian capital Budapest, Krakow in Poland, Porto in Portugal and Thessaloniki in Greece.
Volotea plans to increase the number of routes it serves from Venice to 24 during the summer season.
None of the nine international routes are currently operated by other airlines. However, Ryanair serves Brindisi, Cagliari and Palermo from Venice Treviso Airport, according to Innovata schedules.
