How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
At 15 Omar went to Guantanamo. Here's his story
Witness | 12 Jun 2012 11:17 GMT | Environment, Kenya, United Kingdom
Filmmaker: Tom Evans and Kevin Rushby
Paul Kirika is the son of the famous Kenyan botanist, the late Mzee Kajui, and is now himself considered one of the most knowledgeable field botanists in East Africa. His work has taken him from the coastal forests to the mountaintops, from the humid lake region to the dry and remote northern areas and the dwindling forests around Nairobi.Together with Tim Pearce, a botanist from the UK, he has been struggling to find rare plant species in the mountains of Kenya that could hold the key to human food security.
We are all familiar with the images of African wildlife: elephants against the sunset, lions on a kill, and the cheetah sprinting towards its prey. We are also familiar with the battles against poaching and the efforts to preserve this wildlife for future generations. But what we never pay attention to is the plants around those animals. And what few of us ever suspect is that our own survival may depend on some of those very plants.
It was this that fascinated me about the story behind Seeds of Survival. Could it be that the most innocuous, the most insignificant species might hold the key to the future of humanity? There was also the chance to travel and work with botanists. It promised a very different view of the African bush to the one we normally see. And so it was.
Botanists do not behave like other naturalists. A zoologist, for example, might stop the car, scan the trees and say: "Look. Lions!" Then you would sit quietly watching the animals. But botanists just leap out of the car and run into the bush without a glance.One night we sat around the fire and heard a few stories about what can happen when you leap out of the car and rush into the bush - tales of seed-hunters caught in buffalo charges or sprinting back to the vehicle with an angry elephant in hot pursuit. There is never a dull moment in the search for rather small and unspectacular plants.Actually the sheer lack of visual impact in the plants was a major worry for myself and cameraman/director Tom Evans. We just worried that a wild yam or rice might be a bit boring to look at, even if it did hold the key to new crop species and food security for millions of people around the globe. I remember Tom's face when we first saw the dried specimens in the Herbarium at Nairobi's National Museum. He was not happy.But then our two botanists, Paul Kirika and Tim Pearce, moved into action and, believe me, they more than made up for the static nature of the plants. The species we were looking at were as rare as anything on the planet and possibly already extinct. There was no seed. We had a challenge.

What is best display between mbp and mba?
The best portable Mac display excluding retina is the 15" MBP with the CTO Hi Res Anti-glare screen.
However, your calculations are wrong because you can get a Retina model for cheaper than that model, so I guess you have other considerations you didn't mention.
What are the other models?

Port Canaveral Airboat Tour Excursion Reviews
The Airboat tour was very good. Outside of the fact that I was bitten by a swarm of ants was the only blemish. We actually saw some Alligators during the tour. The captain of the boat was very knowledgeable and could drive the hell out of the boat!! Afterwards there's a quick refreshment break where you're treated to some deep fried Alligator which is DELICIOUS! Next there's a wildlife show with a little opossum, a baby Alligator and a Python snake which you can hold and take a pic with for $5 after the show. Proceeds help with the sanctuary.
We did the Airboat & Jungle Adventure. We loved going off the beaten path and seeing the more 'wild' side of Florida. The Jungle Adventure was literally in an alligator shaped road-side attraction, straight out of the 50's. The staff was both informative and very passionate about thier work. Would definitely recommend it.
Eleven family members went on this and we had a good time. We all tried alligator tail. The grand kids all held alligators, snakes, monkeys and possum. Ages were eighty to three years old.
extremly friendly staff at Gator park. Airboat ride short but long enough to enjoy it... To try at least once! My wife needs always to be pushed to do adventurous stuff but she enjoyed it a lot!
We took the Air boat and alligator tour,was great,our tour guide Alana was terrific the ride over with her was fun and educational.We got to see a lot of alligators and other wild life.I would recommend taking the 10 tour won't be as hot as 1:30

Final Score: Maryland 32, Miami-Florida 24
College Park, MD (Sports Network) - Nick Ferrara kicked a go-ahead 32-yard
field goal with 1:39 to play, as Maryland held off a depleted Miami team, 32-
24, in their season and ACC opener.
The Hurricanes were driving after Ferrara's field goal and advanced near
midfield, but the Terrapins' Cameron Chism intercepted Stephen Morris' pass
and returned it 54 yards for a touchdown with 39 seconds left.
A missed extra point gave Miami a slim chance to tie the game, but Maryland's
defense held to secure a victory in the debut of Randy Edsall.
Edsall left Connecticut this winter after 12 seasons to become head coach at
Maryland (1-0, 1-0 ACC), replacing Ralph Friedgen and taking over a team that
went 9-4 last season.
The Terps were also wearing new uniforms that reflected the state flag and
featured two distinctly different patterns.
Miami (0-1, 0-1) also debuted a new head coach in Al Golden, who left Temple
to accept the Hurricanes vacancy. However, he walked into controversy, as an
investigation into the activities of former booster Nevin Shapiro led to the
suspension of eight players, including starting quarterback Jacory Harris.
Morris, a sophomore, filled in for Harris admirably. He completed 19-of-28
passes for 195 yards and was intercepted twice, with both picks coming late in
rainy conditions.
He and running back Lamar Miller helped the Hurricanes take the lead late in
the fourth quarter with an extended drive. Miami was down 23-31 when it took
over at its own 20-yard line with 12:26 to play, and progressed down the
field, converting a fourth down and two third downs.
The Hurricanes benefited from a holding call to convert one of the third
downs, and found themselves faced with a 3rd-and-8 at the Maryland 19.
Morris completed a pass to Asante Cleveland, but for only six yards. Jake
Wieclaw converted a 30-yard field goal to give Miami a 24-23 edge with 4:01 to
However, Maryland quickly grabbed the lead thanks to its sophomore
quarterback, Danny O'Brien. His 52-yard pass to Kevin Dorsey brought the ball
deep into Miami territory, but his 3rd-and-9 run later in the drive was
stopped two yards short, leading to Ferrara's kick.
Morris and Miami then went back to work. He converted a 3rd-and-15 with a 17-
yard pass to LaRon Byrd, bringing the ball to the Hurricane 45. But the drive
stalled, and on fourth down Chism hopped in front of a throw along the
sideline and ran it back for a score.
Despite the missed extra point, Maryland easily held on to the lead.
O'Brien completed 31-of-44 passes for 348 yards, including a 10-yard TD strike
to Ronnie Tyler on the game's opening drive.
Ferrara made it a 10-0 game with a 24-yarder a few minutes into the second
quarter, but the Hurricanes responded with a touchdown. Mike James capped a
seven-play, 60-yard drive with a one-yard plunge.
After Ferrara made another kick -- of 29 yards -- Miller gave the Hurricanes
the lead with a 41-yard touchdown run with 4:04 left in the half. But Miami
gave it back in the final minute.
Chism forced a James fumble, which Joe Vellano recovered and returned 30 yards
for a score. The touchdown came with 47 seconds left and put Maryland up 20-14
at the break.
Morris' five-yard run briefly put Miami back on top five minutes into the
third quarter, but Ferrara's 28-yarder five minutes later had the Terps
leading again.

Marvelous Preservation and Toning
The half dollars of 1814 were produced in relatively large number for the time, some 1.04 million pieces. Those coins were produced using only eight obverse and nine reverse dies, combining to make nine known die marriages for the year. The dies were obviously pushed to the limits, and several varieties of 1814 are well-known for die clashes, breaks, die erosion, and the other ailments that overstressed dies can produce. The Overton reference notes that "the year 1814 produced some of the most severely clashed dies of the entire [Bust half] series."
The O-103 and O-108a varieties of the 1814 are the only two rated as R.1 or common, although others rank R.2, and only the O-106 is rare. In the case of this coin, however, the sheer commonness of the O-103 variety allows for the pure chance of a marvelous coin such as this to exist.
The mint luster, thick and frosted, displays abundantly evident through the toning. The centers are silver-gray, with a light accent of rose surrounded by cobalt-blue at the extreme margins on each side. As is the case for many 1814 half dollars, this piece is quite sharply struck (although, as the Overton reference points out, that sharp strike came at the expense of sharp die clashing when there was no intervening planchet). As demanded at this incredible grade level, there are no visible abrasions or adjustment marks, save for the aforementioned die clashing in the fields.(Registry values: N1) (NGC ID# 24F3, PCGS# 6105)

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

What do you think?

As this posts, I'm about to depart to visit a sales rep at Blue Cross Blue Shield to discuss (and probably sign up for) the various Medicare supplement plans that will cover my medical needs the rest of my life. And, in the process I presume, reduce the very high health insurance premiums we pay on our individual plans.
I got my own Medicare card in the mail, automatically, over a month ago. So in very short order, I will be a true Senior Citizen for all purposes. Discounts at movie theaters. Discounts for other things. Even a special Senior Menu at Denny's. (Not that I ever eat at Denny's.)
Thank you, all you young taxpayers who will support me as I slip into my dotage. I'm tired of paying my own way (since early retirement in 1997); 'bout time I got a break. 'Bout time to join the Entitlement Society. (Of course, my libertarian tendencies must stay at a slow boil while I grit my teeth; at least I'm conscious of the contrarian stresses, as opposed to those Tea Party Seniors who chant, "Keep the Feds out of our healthcare!").
What will be most interesting will be the effect on household health care expenditures, which at the moment comprise 10% of our budget. Our budget post-age 65 assumes some diminution in medical expenses, but I should have some hard figures to plug in after today.
I write all this all the while serendipitously reading yesterday's front page NY Times article noting that New York State alone has over $200 billion in unfunded public sector health care benefits — that is, benefits promised to public sector employees for which virtually nothing has actually been contributed. The same problem of course affects many other states and local governments. California is perhaps foremost among them. The problem has been growing with lucrative negotiated labor pacts, retirement rules that often permit retirement at age 50 for firemen and policemen, pension rules that allow workers to vastly increase the amounts of their pensions via artificial inflation of wages in their final year or years, etc. No one at the state executive, legislative or administrative leadership levels has been willing to confront the problem or confront labor to halt the steady diminution of states' power to address other problems like crumbling infrastructure because of these unfunded obligations.
All about which David Brooks wrote a couple days ago in his Op-Ed piece, "The Paralysis of the State." He writes of what another commentator has called "demosclerosis":
Over the past few decades, governments have become entwined in a series of arrangements that drain money from productive uses and direct it toward unproductive ones. New Jersey can't afford to build its tunnel, but benefits packages for the state's employees are 41 percent more expensive than those offered by the average Fortune 500 company. These benefits costs are rising by 16 percent a year.
New York City has to strain to finance its schools but must support 10,000 former cops who have retired before age 50.
California can't afford new water projects, but state cops often receive 90 percent of their salaries when they retire at 50. The average corrections officer there makes $70,000 a year in base salary and $100,000 with overtime (California spends more on its prison system than on its schools).
Unfunded pension and benefit obligations nationwide are $2 trillion, Brooks says.
And we haven't even mentioned funding for Social Security and Medicare.
I'm not feeling any personal guilt. We've been living off our capital for over thirteen years. I started Social Security and my pension a few years early because of the severe recession and to reduce pressure on our own investments. So I'm not at all embarrassed or reluctant about coming into full Medicare benefits.
I just hope they last.
False Confessions Department
Another article, a long one, on why people confess to crimes they didn't commit.
In recent years, the use of DNA evidence has allowed experts to identify false confessions in unprecedented and disturbing numbers. In the past two decades, researchers have documented some 250 instances of false confessions, many resulting in life sentences and at least four in wrongful executions. Of the 259 DNA exonerations tracked by a major advocacy group, 63 of them—or one out of every four—was found to have involved a false confession.
But worth reading.
Intensity, purely and simply.

This has been a great saddle and I have cleaned it weekly I am 5'4" and it fits my butt and legs perfectly. I have to sell due to it not fitting my horse anymore. He use to have very high withers and no topline but as we have worked hard and built him back up it is a little to narrow. It is very balanced and has Knee pads and calf blocks. I am going to put it on ebay once I get pictures tomorrow but thought I might let you have a chance first. The saddle is a close contact put since the seat is a little deeper for a more secure seat it almost looks like an all purpose. The 3 consignment shops I have gone to say they would list it for $900 but I am open to all offers.
If I can get pictures uploaded on here once I have taken them I will post.

Trans Wisconsin Trail, Porcupine Poo and Lake Superior
My brother-in-law, Pete and I were talking about getting together and riding somewhere. It is not that easy because he lives north of St. Paul, MN and I'm in Kansas City, MO. About that same time we were discussing getting together, I read about rokklym's Trans Wisconsin Trail. I sent Pete the link to rokklym's RR and asked if he was interested. He was! We agreed to meet in Dubuque, Iowa on August 13 to start our adventure.
The night of August 12 I was so excited I could not sleep. I left early, in the fog
to ride to Dubuque to meet.
I rode gravel most of the way.
In Dubuque we were going to stay at the Hotel Canfield at $40 a night including tax.
I arrived first and checked the place out.
It would not be worth $40 if they cleaned the sheets
. It was a flop house. However, if you are ever looking for a $3.00 hooker I believe you could find one there. I went down the street to the Holiday Inn and booked a room. Pete took one look at the Hotel Canfield and knew to look for me elsewhere. For dinner we went to the Brickhouse Brewery for some good food and better beer and a lot of excited talk about the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail (TWAT) and more beer.

2010 klx250s or 2009 wr250r?
Hey everyone! I'm a college freshman looking to purchase his first dual sport. I haven't been riding very long (well...except doing lots of cycling at high speeds...just means I *was* the engine haha) and have a really good feel for riding.
I'm basically looking for a bike that would be decent commuter, but then be able to handle some weekend off roading. A lot of my friends here in Daytona have sport bikes, but my heart's off the asphalt. This bike is basically my transportation investment. Here's some of the criteria I'm looking at:
-A new bike I could spend the time to break in and learn how it works
-Can be worked on pretty easily
-Has a decent aftermarket (I'm an Engineering Physics major and love modifying and messing with stuff )
-Can handle the asphalt for getting from point A to point B
-Can handle some dirt and mud
-Price not too high
-Did I mention being able to mess with it and mod it?
After doing some research, I'm pretty locked into the 2010 Kawasaki KLX250S and the 2009 Yamaha WR250R. It's down to these two because the dealer in my home area (NJ) has them on sale for pretty much $5400 each. Here's what I gathered so far.
*2010 Kawasaki KLX250S $5400 4 year extended warranty (could be less...but some people are saying get it...not sure what to do) with all costs included in that price*
-Starts underpowered
-Decent size aftermarket
-Can be worked on to unlock it's potential
-Just a hair smaller than the WR250R
-Heard the thing can handle a beating after beating...
-Most are set too lean =(
*2009 Yamaha WR250R $5400 1 year standard warranty*
-Starts out pretty much ready to go right away
-More power "out of the box"
-Fuel injected and some other neat tech on it
-Handles on and off road really well
-A little tall =(
-Not much of an aftermarket compared to the klx?
I had other thoughts but I have a final I need to go to =(
I just need some advice on which way should I go. I got to sit on the KLX250S down in Florida and I absolutely love the feel. Kind of felt an adrenaline rush just sitting on it lol! Any rider input on each of these bikes? Anyone have a comparison? Just keep in mind I also plan on tinkering with whatever bike I get while I'm in college =]
Oh...and yes I realize I'm going to drop it eventually. In fact, the weekend after I get it, I'm going to go play in some NJ mud
*Oh and I'm getting my license in NJ and then taking the train from Virginia to Florida for when I have to come back to college for the Spring semester!*

Like you said you are going to drop it so get a used bike ,that way you won't feel so bad when yuo do drop it. You'll probably want/need something different in a few months and you'll lose a lot less money if you buy used.

You can lower the WR quite a bit for not much money - adjust down the suspension & hack some foam out of the seat.
The 'buy used vs new for a 1st bike 'cos you're gunna drop it' argument is not quite so applicable to light dual sports as they crash pretty well. Put on a good set of handguards & it'll take those inevitable low speed falls with hardly a scratch. That said, these are the kinds of bike that many buy & then don't use much so low miles examples can often be found cheap.

If it were me I'd go with the WR-R. The KLX was a great bike in the mid 1990s, its somewhat dated now. Still not a bad bike (heck I ride a '94 DR250SE all over DC), but if the prices are the same go with the modern stuff. Plus if you want something to learn, might as well learn on something that's put together in a modern fashion. Getting good at tweaking a carb is a skill that won't be of much use for much longer I think. If you are like me, you'll have a ton of fun building your own fuel and ignition maps and playing with the FI - it really gives a lot of options for modding. It seems there a decent aftermarket for the WR-R and I'm sure it'll grow considerably over the next few years.
The KLX is a great one to mod as well (and needs it!). Figure on a big bore kit and FCR35 carb to get it running decent.
I've seen (online) a WR-R with a turbo that looked pretty darn cool. That's taking modding to a whole different level. Apply your physics stuff and figure out how to get a positive displacement supercharger on one
In the end both will do the job just fine and be huge fun. Be sure not to blow all your $$$ on the bike as you'll need a fair bit for boots, gloves, pants, jacket, helmet and all that stuff. Better to get proper gear and an old bike than a fancy bike and inadequate gear.

Wow you guys replied fast O_o
I considering buying used...but the problem is that I don't have enough to shell out for a used bike which is pretty hard to find in my area. So for now I'm stuck financing which doesn't leave me a ton of options. Also my dad wants me to build my credit score so he's pushing to get it reasonably financed lol.
With all that said, I do have about $750 I set aside for any mods I might want to consider while I'm home (I have decent riding gear and everything set with help from my mx and street friends haha). All I need at this point is the bike.
I already considered a down payment and everything so all I have left is the bike purchase and then any modifications you guys suggest (or perhaps I found out I'd like after riding). I also don't plan on blowing all that planned mod cash too! I'm very careful and thoughtful when it comes to spending money on things.
Oh and keep in mind I'm 5' 8" at 130lbs.

I also vote for the Yamaha. It is an advanced motorcycle with more capability in every way. Read up on Bigdog's link in the couple posts above. That fellow has had about every dual sport motorcycle they have made. His fav is the wr250r and he takes the big trips to prove it.
I will be buying one this spring with the plan to ride the Continental Divide route that BigDog mapped out. He claims they cruise the interstate and do single track pretty handily. At 300lbs wet, it also means I can pick it up myself when I've dropped it on some remote path.
Too bad you can't buy used because you could save some $1500 on a very low mileage bike. But hey, if financing is the only way...
You are smart to get something like that for commuting to college in a warm climate. Good luck and let us know when you pull the trigger.

Haha gotta say some of the arguments about it being more modern definitely appeals to me a lot more since I'm attracted to shiny technology...and then dismantling and putting it all back together
Everyone rides bikes down here. In fact, my college caters to them with decent parking spots and all. It's just that this bike has to be able to handle some cold too since I go back home to New Jersey for the Winter time (hence I'm purchasing it when I come home later next week!).
So here's my set of questions for the 2009 wr-r. I did some of the research but I figured I might as well ask.
How low can this bike go? I know there's adjusting the suspension, shaving some foam off the seat, and some sort of yama-link. Anyone have a clue as to how much this towering monster can be lowered?
Is there anything that should be done to this bike right off the bat? I know I won't know until after I test it out...but is there anything in particular?
Also, how is the wr-r in a pretty cold climate?
Haha you guys are a great help in helping me figure this out. =)

You will also want to slide the forks up an inch in the front to keep the same geometry. There might even be kits that lower even more, but I am your size and would probably go no lower. You'll prolly have to cut the sidestand some. Riding in the cold/wet requires heated grips and large wind deflectors of some sort. Grips cost about $30 and guards cost about $100. You will also want a heated jacket liner ($200). Surprisingly, the little WR has enough electrical output to run it all at once.
You'll need a tank bag and at least a lockable tail box for hauling your books and such. Maybe even a soft pannier system, but they can be pretty pricey. I wouldn't mess with the exhaust system. Keep the power and sprockets stock if you're primarily a commuter.
My son took a little bitty Ducati Monster with him to college in AZ. He ended up bringing a dirtbike too his sophomore year. He would have been much better off with a handy little bike like the WR that would do it all. It was a hassle with 2 bikes. He used them both up, though!

I checked out the potential for a free mod and found that reshaping the seat does a lot. I'll probably do this while I'm home as a little side project for fun =)
I'd probably do that and do a factory lowering on it myself. As long as I get a foot comfortably on the ground that's all I require for now Since I hope to do some weekend dirt riding and traveling, I'd like to keep the ground clearance if I can. I hope to also get a taste for enduro and hare scrambles while I'm at college in Florida. Basically I hope to get whatever bike I'm leaning towards to be literally an all-round bike. Light commuting (would only be 15 minutes to everything I need), off road/playing in the mud, a little touring with friends, and hopefully at least get a small taste of racing in time :)
This tank bag looks interesting: http://www.nelsonrigg.com/store/product.aspx?pid=464
Any recommendations on racks? Some people have been saying that the Yamaha rack works pretty well. I was actually considering just using my north face hiking pack. Not much in the way of protection, but it keeps water out of all the compartments which hold my notebooks, laptop, and text books. Just unsure on how it is while riding.
Hm...I wonder what could I do performance wise too. Haha the more I look into the wr-r the more potential I see for tinkering

As noted, the Yamalink can lower the WR² by 1", and the built-in height adjustment on the shock is good for another 1". If you look for greer's and bonnie abzug's posts in the WR megathread, I think they have the lowest WRs out there, so they might have ideas what you can do. FWIW, I'm 5'9" with a 29" inseam, and I'm fine with the built-in lowering without an additional lowering link. I can comfortably get one foot flat, or both tippy toes down at a stop.
As for cold weather, if you mean NJ winters, it'll be fine. I know this b/c that's my home. It was 17°F the january day I picked up my bike from the dealer, so I learned how it handled cold weather right off the bat. An added bonus is that the alternator can handle plenty of accessories. I have grip heaters and heated gloves on mine so far. Bike never has trouble starting in the cold, and runs great after a minute of warmup time.
Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.

I've rode both, the WR was OK, but still pretty doggish in stock form. Although I did like the suspension a bit better.
I would recommend the KLX. Cheaper, more aftermarket, cheaper parts..
You can do the 351 big bore for $525. The 290 big bore on the WRR is like $800.
KLX + Big bore + jet kit = awesome bike. And you can use the stock carb with no probs on the 351. I have stock carb and bike runs like a god damned raped ape. Lots of down low torque, and that motor is bullet proof.
Also keep in mind if you want to do any mods to the WRR you'll need a programmer since it's fuel injected. Can't just swap a jet and be on your way like the KLX.
New tech = $$$
KLX parts are cheap. Plus almost all 97+ KLX300 parts are inter-changeable.
Get the KLX :) Or don't, I don't give a fuck. hahaa

My advice is get the WR250R! It's fuel injected, better suspension, 350watt alternator, and its the go "ANYWHERE" bike, proven by legendary rides. ie. BigDog/Dingweed's Mexico to Canada and then some ride 5,300 miles
Take a look at the WR250R monster thread, I have a lot of info on my website as well. http://www.basherdesigns.com
You can lower the WR a lot, 1" by lowering the rear and another 1" by adding a Yamalink. There are a few females on the thread that have lowered the bike even more.
A used WR is well worth it.. check dealers for older year models. Last Sept '09 I bought my '08 for $4600 from a dealer... so the bikes are out there still.
Get the WR and go....
Forgot to address your cold climate question.. since the WR is fuel injected there is no choke or jetting ..fuel injection means it pretty much does that for you, like a car. I've ridden my WR below freezing.. I turn the key and hit the start button.. bam.. she's running. While my non-fuel injected buds are choking and hitting the throttle to get their bikes to start after a lunch stop. During my Idaho trip, it was in the lows 30s in the morning and heat of the day in the 90s at anywhere from 6,000 ft to 10,000 ft elevations.. bike always ran the same, never an issue. We had 4 WRs on this trip and all ran strong... this is the beauty of a FI bike!!
Pictured here is in Montana just under 10,000 ft elevation

I really don't know why you would want to buy new. You could easily buy a used street bike and a used dual sport for the same money. It isn't hard to find dual sports which have never seen dirt, and even with a few miles they look like new.
If/when you decide to sell either of them you can sell them for much closer to what you paid than if you buy new. Just look at the prices of what new cost vs a few years old.
Heck, you're in FL, right? Forget getting two bikes, just buy 1 dual sport and 2 used jet ski's with a trailer. You can easily come out under the $5400 and have a lot more fun.
I just bought an 06' Suzuki DR-Z400S for $2550 and you can find a pair of older jet ski's for about the same. Craigslist rocks.
Btw, a couple of weeks ago I saw an 09 KLX 250S in VA for $1900. I use
and it shows CL listings nationwide. Be patient and you'll be amazed at the deals you'll see. Heck you're in college, make a "Road Trip" out of it!

How many times do we need to tell you guys that Paula Creamer is the sneakiest hot chick on the LPGA tour? Take this weekend on Twitter when Creamer uploaded what you see here. How many more times do we need to tell the LPGA to get its ass in gear and quit being fem-Nazis when it comes to promoting that there are sneaky hot chicks on the tour. You ask 100 guys what comes to mind when you say "Paula Creamer" and a majority would say "reminds me of my quiet sister," or "who(?)". Then your superstar goes and tweets a butt photo while wearing those jogging pants. Your social media director should've had that pic on the Golf Channel, running like 20 times before the Morning Drive was over. Instead, crickets. Take it from experts like us, Creamer is begging to be recognized from transforming herself from kinda dumpy, awkward teen golfer to a 26-year-old hot chick on the cusp of needing to get body painted for Sports Illustrated. It's not like the butch LPGA fem-Nazis even notice. [ @ThePCreamer] Far right – sneaky hot. Filed under: Football

Another standard transition for Assistant General Counsels seeking advancement is to assume a General Counsel role, where pay is often $149K.

If you are like me, skillet dinners and one dish meals are always the fastest and easiest meals to prepare and tend to be what I turn to if I want a quick clean up meal. I love cabbage rolls but because they are so time consuming and tedious to make I rarely prepare them. This Paleo Cabbage Roll Skillet Dinner gives me the taste of the food I love without all the hassles! I hope you enjoy it too.
Paleo Cabbage Roll Skillet Dinner
1 lb ground beef
1 lb hot Italian sausage meat or ground pork if you do not like it spicy
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
1 head cabbage, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Combine the ground meat, sausage, onions and garlic in a large skillet and cook until the meat is browned. If you can't get the sausage meat just buy links and squeeze the meat out of the casings. Add all of the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the cabbage is tender stirring occasionally. Add a bit of stock, tomato juice or water if the mixture gets too dry.
This Paleo Cabbage Roll Skillet Dinner also makes a great crockpot meal. Just brown the meat first in a skillet and then toss all ingredients into your slow cooker, set it on low and enjoy your day while it cooks.

These were delicious! I made them (twice) in ball form and they were a hit at both parties I brought them to. The balls require 2-3 times the amount of chocolate but they're adorable served in tiny muffin papers. They also require a lot more time to assemble. I think it's worth it but I can see how others might disagree.
Not knowing what kind of peanut butter was intended for this recipe, I used old-fashioned crunchy peanut butter. I also used semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil for the chocolate sauce. These babies are really sweet but that's how they're supposed to be... small and super sugary! You only need to eat one or two to be satisfied.
To make the balls, I followed the recipe exactly. The balls need to be packed tightly (like you're making a tiny snowball) but the peanut butter "dough" will be wet enough to hold everything together as long as you're using well-stirred old-fashioned peanut butter (the kind with the oil sitting on top). After dipping the balls in chocolate, I used forks to get the excess chocolate off and then put the balls on a cookie sheet to cool in the freezer. I only put them in muffin cups after they cooled. This step is essential becauseotherwise they can end up looking pretty messy. I've been able to make 35-40 slightly smaller than ping pong ball sized chocolate balls each time from this recipe.
These can get "sticky" at room temperature so I like to keep them in the fridge until I serve them. This recipe is a keeper (and one that should be shared widely)!
holy guacamole. i almost wish i never found this recipe! these are obscenely good and impossible to rip yourself away from. i've made these 3 times in the past month and can hardly share them fast enough before i eat them all myself i use organic EV coconut for the oil which makes the chocolate that much more lucious. for some reason, my peanut butter "dough" always comes out WAY too dry, so i slowly mix in 3-4tbs non-dairy milk to bring it to that perfect tacky consistency to spread into the pan... someone get these things away from me before i go into sugar shock
Hi, it seems delicious! Thanks!
I don't have this Graham crackers in my country, but a similar. Can you explain in 'cups' or grams how much is needed?
These are really good! My non-vegan family & friends enjoyed them! (I rolled a few balls of the 'dough' up and dunked it in melted chocolate as suggested above. Oh. My. Gosh. YUM!)

Donald Trump's Las Vegas restaurant, Trump Steaks, has failed its health inspection after receiving 51 violations.
Of the violations, the health inspector found caviar that was a month old, expired yogurt, unlabeled food, and food that wasn't stored properly. The health district even reported finding duck that was dated in June, two-week-old tomato sauce and expired black bean chili. They even found that the freezer was faulty and growing icicles and the restaurant hadn't properly thawed out raw tuna.
Trump Steaks has been shut down for the time being while they fix some of their violations.

When it comes to sports tattoos, it doesn't get more realistic looking than this. A guy named JD Baker shared a picture on Twitter of a Ray Lewis tattoo he got on his calf this week. Baker says he went to 15th Street Tattoo Studio in Edmond, Okla., for his work. As you can see, there is one shot of Lewis in pads, and another close-up of the former Baltimore Ravens linebacker's face. At the bottom of the tattoo, it says "G.O.A.T.," which is an acronym for "Greatest of All Time." Baker says he is going to get a tattoo of Deion Sanders on his leg next, and that he plans to make his entire leg a sleeve of tattoos with an NFL legends theme. I wonder which players are going to make the cut. We have passed along a number of sports-related tattoos fans have gotten over the years. Some of them are pretty good, while others are pretty bad. This would definitely qualify as one of the good tattoos. It looks just like Lewis.

Corrections and clarifications· Pat Buchanan, the rightwing commentator and sometime political adviser, was wrongly described as a US senator in the feature, How the son of this British communist became a leading Washington conservative (page 16, G2, November 4). He has made three unsuccessful attempts at securing a presidential nomination but has never been a member of the senate.
In praise of... the red squirrel
Leader: It is difficult to know for certain if the fondness of the British for the red squirrel is inborn or whether it is entirely the product of being read bedtime stories in childhood about Beatrix Potter's "excessively impertinent" Squirrel Nutkin.
Country diaryVirginia Spiers: Tamar Valley and Reigate.
The substance and the ceremonyLeader: Hu Jintao, the Chinese president, will experience plenty of pomp and ceremony during his state visit to Britain, the first stop on a European tour that reflects the growing weight of the People's Republic on the global stage.
Why MPs should reject 90-day detentionLeader: After a succession of U-turns and mixed messages, ministers have decided to stick to their original plan to give the police unprecedented powers to hold suspected terrorists without charge or trial for up to 90 days.

When medicine, science and the public collide
Letters: The difficult relationships between science, medicine and public policy are well illustrated by your reports on Iraqi mortality (The media are minimising US and British war crimes in Iraq, November 8) and MMR (The case against me boils down to smear and evasion, November 8).
Pirates are no jokeLetters: I know G2's back page is intended to provide a humorous comment on the news, but Tim Dowling could have displayed a little understanding in his article, (Pirates are back - and we're not talking DVDs, November 8).
Mending the gender gap in pensionsLetters: Jackie Ashley is to be congratulated for highlighting the extent of the gender gap in pensions (The women's pension crisis is deeply unsexy, but serious, November 7), raised officially last week by the government report Women and Pensions.
The dangers of detentionLetters: Those Labour MPs who think they are securing an acceptable compromise by voting for an amendment to increase detention without charge to 28 days (or any other longer period) should think again (Report, November 8).
Adventure benderLetters: So we are "ready to see how (the US) has harmed others" after only a four-year bender (Comment, November 7)?
It is right to remember our nation's struggleThe patriots behind Ireland's 1916 Easter Rising deserve to be honoured, argues Martin Mansergh.
