Who said anything about innocent?
I live in Vancouver(SF North) I'm not exactly new to turning down advances from guys.
I'm just not used to someone asking something so... directly, I think bluntly might be the wrong word.
or as a pair...
Hell I'd have had the same expression if someone I was dating for years had asked the same thing with a friend.
I've traveled in San Francisco before, when I was 15 or so. Had a bit of a run in with a fellow who works at a burger king just around Union square, between that and the Tenderloin. Might as well share that story, since it could have ended a lot worse.
My mum still doesn't know about this one.
She was asleep at the time.
I've always liked night time, so I wandered downstairs, went to a couple corner shops until I got a pack of Marlborough Reds, then sat out and smoked and watched people go by, talking with an old traveler(read hobo) Watching the strange people wander past. We met: I met a prostitute with her boyfriends tooth in a necklace from when she'd punched him, a drunken man in a wheelchair, and other strange characters.
The fellow who worked at the burger king by which we were smoking came out and gave me a pop(soda) and I didn't think anything of it, he was asking me what I was doing, and I told him I was trying to find a grocery store for tomorrow, as my family travels light, we don't tend to eat out much. He told me he knew of one on his route home, which was into the Tenderloin and he could just show it to me before I head back. For non San Francisco readers, the Tenderloin is like Hastings in Vancouver, or skid row anywhere else.
Well we turned the corner and did I ever get a surprise.
I'm used to that kind of place now from Vancouver, but I certainly felt a bit unsettled, with someone screaming nasty things towards us, and some people fighting. I reached over to check a Hideaway hidden under my shoulder bag strap, and the Burger King perv said, oh, don't worry I've got lots of good stuff. I didn't get that either until he kept saying I didn't have to worry and he did it too.(He thought I was scratching the inside of my elbow)
I learned years later from some Ozzie travelers back in Canada that he was pretty well known for getting young homeless boys/travellers to come hang out, giving them heroin enough to make sure they pass out and then...
I'll check those out, thanks! Did you hear about the other CX rider in CA, I'm not sure if you are the Sarah people were suggesting he try and make it to to help sort his stator out. Glad I did mine with the silverwing stator and ignitech system, both together cost only 100$ than one of the oem stators being rewound, with no ignition replacement
One difference in SF is I seem to get sideswiped at a lot less, we have a real problem with drivers in Vancouver who can't drive at all as far as I can tell, I had one driver in an economy shoebox try and sideswipe my lifted jeep. The horn got their attention better than the one on the bike though.
Other than that one night, the drivers have been great so far.
Except one lady in a Mercedes, she was busy texting all the way down i10, she'd stop, speed up pass everyone, then start weaving all over the road, almost into the median, and slow down, or run up close to someone and slam on the brakes. I thought she was drunk, or falling asleep, Finally I had enough of getting passed by her, then having her come back to me as cars passed her on the right while she wrote. That's when I learned my CX can still get above 90.
PCH is beautiful, up there with 395 for favorite roads so far, not quite as nice for bikes IMO, and too many cars but the views are amazing.
Cool I'll try and check that out when I get rolling again.
It does it unloaded too. It did it on the 2nd test run but not the first, after we added 2psi to the front tire, I aired back down before leaving Sacramento. The suspect at this point is the steering bearings, they are pretty notched, so we ran them relatively loose. I'll be fixing that and realigning the front end today, then I'll go from there.
Form mounted tool rolls end badly on the CX, Larry found increased overheating problems with doing that, I could put a tube down low by the oil filter, but tools are already down by the rear axle and forward.

Riding Arizona
I woke up around sunrise, shot some more pictures and packed up to leave.
Back on the road for another long high speed run, I'm amazed at how well the bike does at 140km/hr all day, no overheating or problems, still has acceleration left if I wanted it I think. More beautiful desert conditions, clear and cool weather. I finally filled my water pouch, I have a cheap(7$) 4L plastic one that is unaffected by chlorine. It was amazing how rich I felt with all that water, I've grown so accustomed to only using my Nalgene bottle, a 16oz HDPE one, they've started selling all over again since the BPA issues, they are soft instead of hard like the Plexiglas ones are, and 3$ instead of 10$.
At night I would usually drink about half, and ration the rest through the night with enough left for a mouthful or two for the first few hours riding. I'm used to caution with water from backpacking, and got used to it immediately despite getting dehydrated and not always feeling great. The first time I stopped and filled the bottle again from the pouch I wanted to take a picture, I was so excited that I could drink as much as I liked.
I stopped at a McDonalds for dinner and some internet time. I came close to crying watching an old man drink coffee at Mcdonalds, he just sat with his head down, hat pulled low endlessly tracing patterns on the table with the saddest most lost look I've seen on a face anywhere. Leaving I saw an older traveller with a backpack reading a New Jedi Order paperback, I'm a closet Star Wars geek so I stopped, he's been wandering the area living out of a pack for 13 years since the world is ending. He found a book called the bible code 13 years ago, and has been following that ever since. Since I was apparently lukewarm I would burn and die as will all the other lukewarm people who aren't following the 10 commandments or who follow the false god of Christianity. He wasn't malicious about it, just very matter of fact, and glad that he was saved and would live through Armageddon which was coming in the next 4 years some time. After that we talked about the beautiful sunset, the stars at night and the joys of camping on the road. The beautiful moments are still out there to be found. Humans are durable, humans can be kind, humans are marvellously complicated things. There are always pockets of humanity, wonder and warmth even in a system that covers every accessible point of land in barbed wire. The moments are out there. It might be the best of all possible worlds, but that doesn't mean it's kind. he gave me some great tips about finding unfenced areas, as the law in Arizona is that any unfenced desert can be camped in it is really too bad there don't seem to be any, just like California. Even overpasses are surrounded underneath, as this is between the other two fences and the two sides of the interstate it told me that the fences are for two legged animals, not cattle.
He cautioned me not to camp east of Tuscon, too close to the border, and many problems with people making messes and stealing. I checked around the town I decided to call it quits at for the night, Benson AZ and found him to be correct, I got a bad vibe everywhere I checked, and found lots of broken bottles, garbage, burned up boxes, paper-towels people had used for toilet paper and human droppings. I was also feeling more and more ill, so I found a motel 6 for the night, it's the cheapest place in town and cost 45$ but I got 10% off since they only had a smoking room left, and I wanted non-smoking. This is my birthday present to myself, as I write this today I'm still sitting in the hotel, staying another night because I was too sick to ride, my fever just broke an hour ago. I'm now officially 23 years old, a bit scary to realize, I sometimes catch myself saying 17 when people ask how old I am. I guess my internal clock stopped there, but nature disagrees.
When I loaded my stuff into my room I was confused, and awed with so much space, the lady said it was a small room, but it's bigger than my room back in Vancouver and I'm all alone in it.
It has two beds, so I'm sleeping in the other one tonight. I didn't know what to do with it all. Even bathroom is bigger than my tarp,
the tap was exciting, I have been drinking tons of water, and the ceiling in the room is so high. I walked around it several times and took pictures, it's funny how fast humans adapt. I felt like a king, with so much wealth spread out around me, and so much space. All of my belongings had their own bed, the room is bigger than the one I shared with all five of the Carnegie Carnival, and the beds are larger than my tent. Someone coming from their own house would probably find it cramped and small. It's funny how the past shapes our perceptions. I had a bath immediately, first time I've had a real bath in months, even in Vancouver I just shower. Washed some clothes, and called my parents with Skype. I've noticed while getting stuff out of my bags that I'm starting to fall into travelling as though I'd always been moving with Aurora, I just know where my belongings are based on where they would be on the bike. Today it doesn't feel as special anymore, or overly large, I guess I've adapted to having the space now.
An actual picture of me, guess that tripod is handy for something after all. At least I can scare children away from the bike with photos of my ugly mug on it or something.

A little politeness goes a long way, or how I (almost) got kicked out of a hotel.
I woke up pretty late and groggy this morning, after working very late into the night to get the travel report up to date, I slept in, and when I woke up I was still sick, although definitely on the mend. I decided to hop in for a quick shower but kept thinking I was hearing someone knock, I'd turn off the water, get out of the bathroom and call out through the door, to no answer. Get back in the shower, turn the water on and keep going. It seems that the housekeeping lady stopped by, and didn't get an answer the second time she asked if I needed service(because I was in the shower) So she called the mananager, who must have been having a bad day. He knocked on the door again, I turned off the water, thinking I'd heard a knock and repeated the process, only this time I stuck my head out too. Nobody there.
He then knocked a third time, and I finally managed to catch him, An older, rather angry fellow with an eyepatch, he tore a strip off me about not answering, to which I was polite but firm, as I had certainly answered, despite being unsure if there even was anyone knocking, and he could clearly have heard the shower running.
I didn't realize that I was approaching checkout time so the start of it was probably my fault.
He asked me if I was staying or leaving, since I'm still pretty sick and dizzy, I said I was good and would stay since I was so close to checkout time, at which point he yelled that he didn't have time to play silly games and told me to get out of his hotel, then stormed off to get back to his office. It was a very impressive angry stride I must admit, I don't know if he's practiced in a mirror but it was really well done.
I decided while packing that I really just wasn't safe to ride, so I went downstairs to have a discussion, I apologized for any miscommunication, and explained that I had answered every time, and that as I was past the checkout time I would really prefer to honor the policy of paying for another night. He apologized as well, and we talked about the bike for a bit, certainly a better result than sulking and parading out of here in a bad mood, although I was really looking forward to finally getting to write a scathing post about somebody being a jerk on my trip, I guess I'll have to wait.

Respect: Worth of my first thread post
This last spring, I rode my first real bike from Toronto to Calgary and back , a 1982 Yamaha Vision (xz550) with no real plan, no idea of my capabilities and just the basic route planned heading into the setting sun.
People said i was crazy... and could not understand how i could do such a thing at 21 on such an old machine in the cold Canadian spring.
Needless to say, I went ahead with it. My only regret was that the ride only lasted 10 days. After day 3.... its just natural!
I aim to forward your blog posts to all the doubting toms, and show them that i am a relatively "sane" member of the adv community.
I graduate in 16 months and i'll be hoping to follow your treads. Keep it real man

Yep that Sarah was indeed me. Turned out he didn't need any help but we were ready to help if he called. :)
I imagine Larry installed a set of tapered roller bearings in your steering column? It would seem a silly thing to skip with such a dramatic rebuild. My GL's handlebars were squirrelly, especially at low speeds: I remember on my roadtrip I almost got into a tankslapper myself at highway speeds when I loosened my grip on the bars too much. The roller bearings (from All Balls, I forget the product number) fixed that problem - we found the bike had worn a groove at dead center I had assumed was stock but wasn't. Torquing down everything a teensy bit past spec eliminated most of my steering issues and allowed a "dampening" effect, although obviously without any additional apparatus.
I only mention it as I didn't see any reference to the bearings in your build thread, although I think you mentioned rebuilding the steering. Thankfully there's a whole CX forum who'd love to give you pointers, as well as Larry on speed-dial.
Looking forward to your adventures, and happy belated birthday! You've got some guts doing a roadtrip this time of the year (braving rain, fog, possible snow etc). Of course that just means you'll have a bigger adventure.
Ride safe!!

Jeremy has been at my house since Wednesday evening, after an unusual course of events.
I had invited a friend to stay at my place while driving south to Panama from Wyoming. Ian was on the hwy in Texas and was flagged down by Jeremy. Jeremy had seen "Wyoming to Panama" on the back of Ian's truck and was compelled to get his attention and chat. Thats the short story.
Now he's here and we've been shooting the bull for a couple days now. About to do a couple modifications on his bike before he heads off this evening.
Jeremy got on the road last night, not to go far, but to stay at another Adventure Rider's house and hit up the Sony store to get his e-reader fixed.

Heading east from Odessa, I wasn't stopping for many photo's just pushing to make some miles.
The first mountains in miles
First time I've ever seen cotton, I had to stop and pick some, and shoot some pictures.
For about an hour, a lifted Toyota truck and I were running about the same pace, in and out of traffic trading up positions, I spotted Wyoming to Panama on the back, as the sun was starting to set, I decided I'd pull up to say hello, I waved to the guy in the cab, he made the universal sign for drinking, and we pulled over at the next exit. The driver was Ian, a off-roader from Wyoming driving his supercharged V6 Tacoma down to Panama. Turned out we were both trying to get to the Ft Worth/Dallas area, he was stopping in to meet someone from Expedition Portal in Dallas for their birthday. He invited me along, and since I figured it was a bit late for showing up in Ft Worth and so I went along. It turned out to be one of my better decisions, as everyone in the house that night was into off-road driving and motorbikes. The birthday guy, Scott has ridden tons in Mexico, and is planning to start a tour company, which I'm sure is going to rock. He gave me a sweet plan for a route, involving some sweet tracks. He even hooked me up with maps of the area, and everyone gave me tons of advice and help, we worked on my bike a bit, adding washers to the exhaust to try and increase the back pressure to improve my fuel economy closer to stock again, and messed about with the wiring a bit to fix the heated grips without success.

No, I've still got the stock bearing, they are pretty notched in quite a few places, previous owner cranked them down without grease.
Larry's had good success in the past running them slightly looser and well greased if they are damaged like that.
It's only at the specific speed it does it, but it could be the head bearing.

The liners suck so I ditched the warm one and will probably ditch the waterproof one soon to save space.
(265$ advrider)
The hoodie is a Triple Aught Design(TADgear.com) Ranger hoodie, latest and greatest quality fleece, great design and made in the USA.(225$ at tadgear)
over top(not shown) I wear a TADgear hardshell as well, unlike the useless liner that took 3 days to dry, and the gortex pockets that let my passport get soaked even when properly closed, it actually works.
It's a great jacket for riding in, and I like the waterproof on the outside idea, tad gear hooked me up with a factory 2nd to test out so 0$.
This combination has been at least tolerably warm down to 22f(-4c) riding for long hours. Much better than the worthless insulated one piece suit that leaked inside of 10 minutes and was cold in 15.
Off the bike I have been living in the hoodie most of the time, with the hardshell when there's a high wind or rain.
Shirt is the hanes 5 for 6$ tshirts from walmart. Love them, cheap, light, easy to pack.
Pants, BMW riding pants, not sure of the model, their knee armour just sucks, very uncomfortable, if I'd had them sooner I would have replaced it with SAS-tec stuff.
Design is great, especially the pockets and breatheable panels. They breathe well, and comfortable even without long underwear(mesh lined pants tend to really bug me these don't)
The fabric is crap though, the knees have got about 1/2" of fuzz on them, if they abrade that easily against the boots and the ground when I'm working on the bike, they aren't nearly as nice as the cayenne's material.50$(bought on advrider)
Boots, Sidi Discovery, I am not a fan. I think I had better ankle protection, breathability and comfort in the heavy duty leather boots I left behind when I got these, the ankle armour seems flimsy, and it folds in at the top slightly cutting into my ankles, I lined them with some bits of a foam sleeping pad to stop my ankles bleeding.
They don't breathe worth a damn, but do seem to let water in when it rains. Would prefer Combat touring boots, or the new sidi ones with proper ankle armour
(120$ bought on advrider)
around my neck, the best 14$ I spent, it's a skiing neck guard to keep cold air away, with a mesh panel for nose and mouth. Makes a huge difference in comfort.

Councilman John Olszewski Sr. said he was "ecstatic" about the neighborhood projects and liked Kamenetz's focus.
"I'm glad to see that he's continuing to focus on public safety, public education and our aging infrastructure," said Olszewski, a Dundalk Democrat.
The plan calls for a 2.94 percent increase in spending for continuing county costs.
The County Council has the authority only to cut from the budget. Council Chairman Tom Quirk said he doesn't expect members to make significant alterations.
"In the past, the county executive has submitted such fiscally prudent budgets that we haven't found much fat to trim," said Quirk, a Catonsville Democrat. "I don't think there will be any major changes."
In a briefing before the budget release, Kamenetz told reporters the county has been able to keep the tax rates flat by streamlining government operations and increasing employee productivity.
He said county government has the smallest workforce in 25 years after cutting hundreds of positions through attrition, consolidation and early retirement.
Technology also has helped workers do more with less, he said.
The county also has saved through changes to employee benefit programs.
"The No. 1 savings factor has been our aggressive reform of our employee retirement and health care costs, that we have negotiated with our employees," he said.
A public hearing on the budget is scheduled for April 30, and the council is scheduled to adopt the budget May 23. The budget is for the fiscal year that starts in July.

Planets Like Earth, Millions in Our Galaxy
Rocky and not much older than our world, turn to the right distance from its star for liquid water on its surface. Astronomers have estimated their numbers for the first time.
Artist's impression of a sunset on the Earth Gliese 667 super Cc
What if the Earth was not something so unique? An international team of astronomers has estimated, for the first time, the number of rocky planets not much larger than ours in our galaxy orbiting around red dwarfs, the most common stars. And the results can not be more striking. Astronomers believe that there must be tens of billions of planets of this type, called super-Earths, only in the Milky Way, and probably about one hundred in the vicinity of the solar system at distances less than 30 light years. And one more thing, perhaps the most important are in the habitable zone of its star, ie the right distance so that the existence of liquid water possible and who knows, perhaps life.
The astronomers used for research conducted observations with the HARPS spectrograph, the European Southern Observatory (ESO), installed in La Silla, Chile. The team looked exoplanets orbiting the most common stars in the Milky Way, red dwarfs, also known as M-type dwarfs These stars are faint and cold compared to our Sun, but very common and long-lived. In fact, account for 80% of all stars of the Milky Way.
"About 40% of all red dwarf stars have a super-Earth orbiting in the habitable zone, an area that allows the existence of liquid water on the planet's surface," said Xavier Bonfils of Sciences of the Universe Observatory of Grenoble, in France, who led the team. "Because red dwarfs are so common, there are about 160,000 million in the Milky Way, this leads to the conclusion that there are tens of billions of such planets in our galaxy alone."
Nine new super-Earths
The HARPS team analyzed over a period of six years a carefully selected sample of the southern sky, which appeared 102 red dwarf stars. We found a total of nine super-Earths (planets with masses between one and ten times the mass of Earth), including two in the habitable zone of Gliese 581 and Gliese 667 C respectively. Astronomers were able to estimate its weight and the distance to the host star around which orbited.
Combining all data, the team found that the frequency of the presence of super-Earths in the habitable zone is 41% ranging from 28% to 95%. However, more massive planets similar to Jupiter and Saturn in our solar system seem to be very common around red dwarfs. It is believed that less than 12% of red dwarfs have giant planets.
Stellar flares
"The habitable zone around a red dwarf, where the temperature is suitable for liquid water on the surface is closer to the star than in the case of Earth from the Sun," explains Stéphane Udry ( Geneva Observatory researcher and team member). But red dwarfs are known to be subject to eruptions or stellar flares, "which would flood the planet X-ray or ultraviolet radiation and make it more difficult the existence of life."
One of the planets discovered in the survey of red dwarf Gliese 667 HARPS is Cc. It is the second planet from the triple star system and appears to be located near the center of the habitable zone. Although this planet is more than four times heavier than Earth, is the closest to our planet from those found so far, and almost certainly has the right conditions for the existence of liquid water on its surface. This is the second super-Earth in the habitable zone of a red dwarf discovered during the survey of HARPS, following the announcement of the discovery of Gliese 581 d in 2007 and its subsequent confirmation in 2009.
"We hope that some of these planets pass in front of its parent star during its orbit around it, thus opening the exciting possibility of studying the atmosphere of these planets and signs of life," concludes Xavier Delfosse.

The next president will inherit a huge budget mess
Perhaps it's a good thing that Sens. John McCain, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are preoccupied with running for president because if they were involved in the budget debate back in Washington they might decide they don't want the job.
This week the House and Senate take up the budget resolutions that set the spending guidelines for the 12 appropriations bills that fund next year's government operations, the spending on entitlement programs like Medicare and the taxes needed to pay for them.
Both the House and Senate Democratic plans, like President Bush's and the Republicans' alternatives, project deficits turning into surpluses in 2012 and 2013. On paper, this is a plausible goal; politically, it's probably impossible and almost certainly so if the economy goes -- or is already -- in recession. And none of the plans faces up to the possible long-term costs of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Democrats get to where they're going by allowing Bush's tax cuts -- on income, capital gains, dividends and small businesses -- to expire in 2010. That would free up money for increased spending on assorted domestic programs.
The Republicans would arrive at their goal -- saving the tax cuts -- by calling for politically unsustainable cuts in spending on Medicare, Medicaid, housing and other popular domestic spending programs. One GOP amendment would have kept the tax cuts simply by running more deficits.
Bush has threatened to veto any attempt to repeal his tax cuts, and he has threatened to veto any sizable increases in spending on Democrats' pet programs.
Congress likely will pass the bills funding the national defense and homeland security and, of course, the bill funding its own operations. But Bush and the Democrats may deadlock on everything else. If the Democrats sense that the election will give them greater control of Congress, they'll be attempted to run out the clock on Bush, passing temporary measures to keep the government running until he leaves office.
That means a huge budget mess will be waiting in Washington for the next president -- McCain, Clinton, Obama or whomever. The situation by then may have deteriorated so that the new president has the worst of both worlds -- raising taxes and cutting spending, thus angering everybody.

On October 4, 2012, the Washington State Supreme Court reversed Judge Godfrey and reinstated the legal challenge to the tribal fuel compacts. In a colorful hearing in Montesano, Judge Godfrey once again dismissed the suit. A motion for direct appeal by the state Supreme Court has been filed once again and was granted on January 7, 2015. A hearing before the Court is expected in the spring or summer of this year (see UPDATE below).
Former WA State Auditor Brian Sonntag (1993-2013) has reviewed the tribal motor fuel compacts and issued a report. His findings confirm AUTO's position that the compacts present danger to the public and taxpayers of the state and threaten the future of our transportation system. Read it here.
After reviewing the Report issued by the highly respected former state auditor Brian Sonntag, the Editorial Board of the Seattle Times issued an opinion that the Supreme Court should take immediate action. Read the Times editorial here.
Passed by a vote of the people in November of 1944, the 18th Amendment (Article II, Section 40) to Washington's Constitution requires that all motor vehicle excise taxes collected on the sale, distribution or use of motor vehicle fuel (including the gasoline tax) be deposited into a special fund dedicated solely highway purposes.
In 2007, the Legislature passed SB 5272 revising the gas tax collection system to insure the state could collect the motor fuel taxes on fuels sold at tribal stations. The legislation included a vague provision designed to generally authorize the Governor to negotiate with Native American Tribes regarding any sovereign rights the tribes had regarding the motor fuel tax. As a result, even though the tribes held no legal exemption to the tax under any state law, federal statute, or historical treaty right, Governor Gregoire instructed the Department of Licensing to meet with representatives of the tribes and enter into agreements providing payments to the tribes of 75% of the state tax rate or approximately 28 cents per gallon for every gallon sold out of a tribal station. Since 2007, those payments to the tribes out of the Motor Vehicle Fund (MVF) have exceeded $70 million (Read the 2010 Tribal Fuel Tax Agreements Report).
On May 11, 2010, AUTO filed suit on behalf of the citizens of the state and its members in Grays Harbor County Superior Court. The suit seeks injunctive and other relief to require the State to abide by the Washington Constitution (Read the suit here).
In defense of the Governor, state Attorney General Rob McKenna filed a motion to dismiss using what Judge Godfrey called a classic "Catch 22" . The AG argues the suit must name the tribes as an indispensible party or it must be dismissed. Then, if the suit does name the tribe it must be dismissed again due to tribal sovereignty. In essence, the AG argues that the protections granted the citizens by the state constitution are stood down any time the Governor enters into an agreement with a tribe, regardless of the impacts of that agreement on the citizens or the state treasury (Read the state's motion here).
Responding on behalf of AUTO, former Supreme Court Justice Phil Talmadge argued that the state sought to create a situation wherein "…. if the Governor signed a contract with an Indian tribe to convey state taxpayer funds in exchange for political contributions, that contract would be free from scrutiny because an action to challenge the Governor's action would "indirectly" threaten the contract…."(Read AUTO's response to the state's motion to dismiss here).
On January 3, 2011, Judge Godfrey dismissed the suit. In doing so, he stated his personal opinion regarding the effect of the Attorney General's legal maneuvering with: I do find one thing repugnant in this whole situation, and that in our system of government…that there is no judicial remedy. I do believe that there needs to be …that this is a issue that needs to be addressed by our [S]upreme Court.
The state Supreme Court accepted AUTO's appeal and heard oral arguments on May 1, 2012 in the Temple of Justice in Olympia, WA. On October 4, 2012 the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling reinstating the case and remanding the suit back to the lower court for trial. To read the decision, click here.
AUTO is pleased to report that the Washington State Supreme Court has agreed to once again hear "Automotive United Trades Organization v- State of Washington". The suit, originally filed in Grays Harbor County in 2010, challenges the legality of controversial compact agreements between then Gov. Gregoire and tribal station operators that has sent over $200 million in payments out of the state's motor fuel tax account to the coffers of tribal station operators. The decision by the Supreme Court enables the action to proceed directly to the court without going through the lengthy appellate process. A hearing before the Supreme Court in Olympia is expected sometime in the spring or early summer.
The latest action by the court is the result of our appeal of a decision by now-retired Grays Harbor Judge Godfrey who dismissed the case the first time on January 3, 2011. At that point, the first direct appeal was filed on behalf of AUTO members and the citizens of WA by former Supreme Court Justice Phil Talmadge. The Supreme Court accepted the direct appeal and subsequently reversed Godfrey's decision remanding the case back for trial. Godfrey then dismissed the case again setting the stage for the second trip back up to the Supreme Court. The latest order is here.
Organizations representing over 16,000 businesses in WA file Amicus Curiae motions supporting AUTO's request for a direct review by the Supreme Court.
AUTO is not the only group that is concerned by the Governor cutting secretive compact deals behind closed doors that is flowing hundreds of millions of dollars of the public's motor fuel taxes to a handful of tribal station operators. Business and public policy organizations representing over 16,000 businesses in WA have filed motions with the Supreme Court supporting AUTO's request for a direct review by the state's highest court.
A total of 5 separate Amicus Curiae motions have been filed representing:
- The Washington Oil Marketers Association (WOMA) whose members are petroleum marketers ( read here);
- Representing small business and retailers, the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), Washington Association of Neighborhood Stores (WANS) and the Washington Food Industry Association (WFIA) filed jointly (read here);
- The Association of Washington Business (AWB) representing over 7,500 companies with over 650,000 employees in WA (read here)
- Representing the construction industry on a joint brief are the Association of General Contractors (AGC) and its affiliated chapters and national group, Washington Asphalt Pavement Association, Puget Sound Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association, Mechanical Contractors Association of Washington, National Utility Contractors Association of Washington, American Council of Engineering Companies of Washington, Associated Builders and contractors of Western Washington; and the Washington Aggregates And Concrete Association (read here); and
- Representing citizens concerned about public policy issues is the Washington Policy Center (read here).
AUTO has experienced wide spread support from consumers, small businesses and nonprofit organizations. At this point, with the notable exception of the tribes and the Office of Attorney General Rob McKenna, no support for the compacts and Governor Gregoire's actions have surfaced during the legal process.

33 year old woman | Morongo Valley, CA, USA | Seeking men 25-35 within 60 miles
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Oscar Wilde.
About me: Hi, my name is Tracey. If I had to describe myself I would say I am compassionate, silly, and determined (if I put my mind to something, it's getting done!). I asked my friends to describe me and the most common responds was loyal, silly, and easy-going. I see silly is a re-occurring theme. I consider myself to be an optimist. I like looking on the bright side ?. I try to take nothing for granted. I have been fortunate enough to travel throughout Asia and the Middle East (and the U.K). Seeing other cultures and other ways of life really help you appreciate what you have. I quote movie too much and usually sing along to whatever song is playing. Music plays a role in my world: I frequently go to shows/concerts (I love the way live music feels). I am a bit peculiar and am completely at peace with that (I think this is where the silly comes in). I adore the ocean, it sounds pretty and I like putting my feet in warm sand. I enjoy the simple pleasures of life; for example, the smell of oranges and cinnamon makes me happy. I am a photographer and painter. I am so lucky I get paid to take and paint pictures! Though I am an artist, I have a master's degree in national security and spent a lot of time working in education (random, I know). I ponder useless things such as how I would survive a zombie apocalypse and why there is no plural for moose (oh, there are so many other pointless things that rattle around in my head!). I'm adventurous whether that means exploring the wilderness or an urban jungle. I really enjoy being outside. I try to go hiking at least twice a week. What I'm looking for in a relationship: I am looking for a friend first. I want to be with someone who gets me (at least a little). Must have a good sense of humor, be well rounded, and have a clear vision of self. We should have tons of fun as often as possible. I am looking for someone to explore new things with including discover each other. I want someone who is open-minded and not afraid to be outside-of-the box. You also have to be a dog person.

I like Dogs
I live in a small town with very little in the category of "hot spot". I do love to travel. I look forward to exploring the rest of the world but for now I would say my hot spots are Palm Springs, the beach, and a good trail.

I like all types of music ranging from electronica to punk rock with everything in between. I love art, being outdoors, my family, baking (I can make a mean chessecake), Disneyland, playing in water, singing, and seeing a good movie.
I like to watch live music, go to the movies, hike, check out art exhibits, try new hole-in-the wall cafes or watering holes, going to Disneyland, or anything else exciting and new!
I read ALOT. Mainly suspense, political science/ international relations non-fiction, satire, and law enforcement drama (Preston and Childs)

The solitary leakerJune 12,2013From what we know so far, Edward Snowden appears to be the ultimate unmediated man. Though obviously terrifically bright, he could not successfully work his way through the institution of high school. Then he failed to navigate his way through community college.
According to The Washington Post, he has not been a regular presence around his mothers house for years. When a neighbor in Hawaii tried to introduce himself, Snowden cut him off and made it clear he wanted no neighborly relationships. He went to work for Booz Allen Hamilton and the CIA, but he has separated himself from them, too.
Though thoughtful, morally engaged and deeply committed to his beliefs, he appears to be a product of one of the more unfortunate trends of the age: the atomization of society, the loosening of social bonds, the apparently growing share of young men in their 20s who are living technological existences in the fuzzy land between their childhood institutions and adult family commitments.
If you live a life unshaped by the mediating institutions of civil society, perhaps it makes sense to see the world a certain way: Life is not embedded in a series of gently gradated authoritative structures: family, neighborhood, religious group, state, nation and world. Instead, its just the solitary naked individual and the gigantic and menacing state.
This lens makes you more likely to share the distinct strands of libertarianism that are blossoming in this fragmenting age: the deep suspicion of authority, the strong belief that hierarchies and organizations are suspect, the fervent devotion to transparency, the assumption that individual preference should be supreme. Youre more likely to donate to the Ron Paul for president campaign, as Snowden did.
Its logical, given this background and mindset, that Snowden would sacrifice his career to expose data mining procedures of the National Security Agency. Even if he has not been able to point to any specific abuses, he was bound to be horrified by the confidentiality endemic to military and intelligence activities. And, of course, hes right that the procedures hes unveiled could lend themselves to abuse in the future.
But Big Brother is not the only danger facing the country. Another is the rising tide of distrust, the corrosive spread of cynicism, the fraying of the social fabric and the rise of people who are so individualistic in their outlook that they have no real understanding of how to knit others together and look after the common good.
This is not a danger Snowden is addressing. In fact, he is making everything worse.
For society to function well, there have to be basic levels of trust and cooperation, a respect for institutions and deference to common procedures. By deciding to unilaterally leak secret NSA documents, Snowden has betrayed all of these things.
He betrayed honesty and integrity, the foundation of all cooperative activity. He made explicit and implicit oaths to respect the secrecy of the information with which he was entrusted. He betrayed his oaths.
He betrayed his friends. Anybody who worked with him will be suspect. Young people in positions like that will no longer be trusted with responsibility for fear that they will turn into another Snowden.
He betrayed his employers. Booz Allen and the CIA took a high school dropout and offered him positions with lavish salaries. He is violating the honor codes of all those who enabled him to rise.
He betrayed the cause of open government. Every time there is a leak like this, the powers that be close the circle of trust a little tighter. They limit debate a little more.
He betrayed the privacy of us all. If federal security agencies cant do vast data sweeps, they will inevitably revert to the older, more intrusive eavesdropping methods.
He betrayed the Constitution. The founders did not create the United States so that some solitary 29-year-old could make unilateral decisions about what should be exposed. Snowden self-indulgently short-circuited the democratic structures of accountability, putting his own preferences above everything else.
Snowden faced a moral dilemma. On the one hand, he had information about a program he thought was truly menacing. On the other hand, he had made certain commitments as a public servant, as a member of an organization, and a nation. Sometimes leakers have to leak. The information they possess is so grave that it demands they violate their oaths.
But before they do, you hope they will interrogate themselves closely and force themselves to confront various barriers of resistance. Is the information so grave that its worth betraying an oath, circumventing the established decision-making procedures, unilaterally exposing secrets that can never be reclassified.
Judging by his comments reported in the news media so far, Snowden was obsessed with the danger of data mining but completely oblivious to his betrayals and toward the damage he has done to social arrangements and the invisible bonds that hold them together.

Heaven, man.
again so true. I remember seeing the yellow tank CZ's for the first time at races. Husky's and Bultaco's we knew cos they were sold locally. But seeing real pits back then with the smorgasboard of euro bikes mixed in with the japanese along with the odd psycho on a SL or Sprint or even a Rokon. the smell. I like todays races when the expert class rolls by a lot of them are running race fuel and you can smell it but the smell of the bean oil back then. the sounds. the get off's. todays riders start younger and develop skills so the truly spectacular wipe outs we all were so good at are few and far between today. gloves? didn't need them. nothing like the sight of a yamaha enduro converted to MX duty going over a jump and the seat flopping up in the air on the hinges and slapping back down. would it kill todays riders to break a frame every now and then? I went to Unadilla's first VMX this year and got to rub elbows with Weinert, Lackey, Hansen, Stanton, Barnett, Guy Cooper, Gary and DeWayne Jones, Lechein who even made me like him after years of not.

ICT firms to access capital at NSE
The Nigeria Computer Society (NCS), the umbrella body of Information and Communications Technology professionals and organisations in the country, has challenged the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) on incentives that would make it easy for ICT companies to access capital in the nation's bourse.
During a courtesy visit to the NSE in Lagos, the society's president, Mr Demola Aladekomo, said listing of shares of ICT companies would aid NSE's quest in reforming the capital market and accelerating Nigeria's economic development.
He said the decision to list in the NSE is to ensure continuous funding for development of the sector. He described companies like the Computer Warehouse Group, MainOne Cable Company, SystemSpecs Limited, Interswitch as well as Zinox Computers, as great candidates for listing on the exchange.
"As a major stakeholder in technology, NCS identifies with NSE's focus on key industries that are crucial to the economy but under-represented in the market, such as agriculture, oil and gas, telecommunications and the utilities sectors.
"Based on the contributions of these five companies to the ICT sector, we recommend them as good candidates for NSE."
Responding, Chief Executive Officer of the NSE, Mr Oscar Onyema, noted that the major impediment to growth in the nation was not corruption, but funding. He said the Exchange had been speaking with companies about listing.
"ICT is one of the key sectors that we are targeting. The interest in ICT, however, is not just telecoms but technology. Since ICT at present, contributes five per cent to the Gross Domestic Product and 0.7 per cent of market capitalisation, there is immense opportunity for growth," he said.
According to him the exchange was already providing qualitative standards for ASeM (Alternate Securities Market) as an alternative for accessing the many benefits provided by the capital market.
Specifically, he said the exchange is offering listed companies value-added services aimed at ensuring all companies realise the value of a listing, and make the listing experience pleasant and worthwhile.
He added that the NSE would support funding of Small and Medium Enterprises through the ASeM platform.

This eyeliner is not the best gel liner I've ever had. I like it, but it's just not waterproof at all. I got this in a Tarte set at Ulta (and got charged an extra $13- kinda pissed off about that, so I set the bar really high so this set will be worth the extra $13) with some other Emphaseyes stuff. The thing is with this eyeliner, it's extremely pigmented and extremely smooth- a little too smooth to control. Not like runny smooth, but...it basically picks up like butter and once you put it on it absolutely screams "BLACK!!". In a way, that is good because who doesn't love pigmentation, but it is really hard to control and make thin strokes with because it practically melts. If you're one who likes subtle eyeliner looks, you may wanna stay away from this product! The staying power is really good (not in water, though- I do synchronized swimming, and this stuff comes off in 30 seconds), but the thing is, when you try to take it off it smudges all over your face- and stays there. Basically it looks like you got a black eye. That is extremely frustrating! Also, the liner itself does not come with much product. It is a tiny dime-sized disk that sells for around $20. Talk about a rip off. Overall, I would not get this again- it's usable and looks great, just hard to control.

I bought this product in a sampler pack to try more natural products, I wasn't expecting the same as Urban Decay products or anything but at the same time, I found this eyeliner to be a let down. The product does produce a nice buildable line like a liquid, but it's easier to work with than many liquids. It makes a cat eye super simple to pull off and is also nice for tightlining. The pot is heavy and fits nicely into the hands as well. Unlike some other cream eyeliners I've used in the past, the product doesn't seem to be temperature sensitive as Ive not had any problems using this product in the middle of winter when my bathroom is cold or during the summer. However, this product doesn't stay on my eyes well. It seems to wear off after three or four hours. In the summer this wear time decreased even more. I don't mind reapplying lipstick midday but I don't want to have to mess with eyeliner! The only way I could get it to wear longer is to really cake it on and make a more bold line - which then the product didn't seem to 'set" on my skin and was smudge-able for the entire evening.

I got this in the bronze color it came in a kit I bought and I just recently bought the blue one I haven't tried it yet so I can't say anything about it but I do love the bronze. Its soft seems to last all day on me its pigmented and is a great alternative to black and best of all its 100% organic so there's no bad stuff in it so it's healthy for your skin. I definitely feel I'll be rebuying this even with the high price tag. Its originally $22, there's a LE kit that's $25 comes with the bronze liner brush mascara and a lip chubby stick.

I bought this in the sparkly black color, which I love. It goes on nicely, too. The only thing is that it doesn't have the staying power of Urban Decay 24/7 or MUFE Aqua Eyes. But since it seems healthier for my skin and is animal-friendly, I'll probably repurchase in the future.

Got the bronze color in a kit and its gorgeous! not too shimmery or dark - perfect to go with a brighter lip color.
The texture is amazing (glides on without pulling the eyelid) and the brush works well. It does fade a bit after wearing it all day and im pretty sure its not waterproof but atleast it doesnt stray all over the face!

I'm somewhat torn about this product. I can only compare this to MAC's fluidline and Wet N Wild's eyeliner. I cannot wear any eyeliner without a primer underneath because I have super ridiculously oily eyelids, so I can't really judge based on wear alone.
What I liked about this product: it was REALLY PIGMENTED! Like super dark, much darker than Fluidline and Wet N Wild. It goes on pretty easily and it lasted me a long time, and it did not transfer or wear off with a primer underneath.
What I was indifferent about: the price, it's more expensive than Fluidline. The texture is not as smooth as Fluidline either, but it's comparable to Wet n Wild.
Overall, I would purchase this product again, only because of the pigmentation.

I was so very disappointed in this! I love the Tarte blushes and assumed this would be just as good. Boy was I wrong. It did come with a brush that is ok and I still use but I have completely given up on the eyeliner. This is in no way waterproof and comes off very easily. It fades after only a short wear time and smears and moves around very easily. It's horrible for lining the waterlines as it comes off within about 10 after using it. for the price you would expect better quality makeup that would last. I will not repurchase this whatsoever. I will be sticking with Makeup Geek over the Tarte any and everyday!

I received this on a kit from Ulta, I always wanted to try the black one but instead I got a green one. I was fine with it sence I only own black liners.. but girl, that shipoopy isn't water proof nor very pigmented.. I've never been dissapointed by tarte... and reading all the reviews on the black one I will not purchase it again..

I usually use MAC fluidline, but I was out and on my way out of town and Sephora was closer than the mall. The rep said this gel liner was comparable and with the inclusion of the brush I went for it. It's nothing to write home about. Doesn't stay on nearly as well as fluidline- smudges within hours-by the end of the day my eyes are for the most part unlined. If you have less oily lids then this product could work great for you- but for the price and performance I will stick with the tried and true fluidline.

I have mixed feelings about this product. I just recently started trying cream eyeliners. I huge problem for me is that most of them are, or are claiming to be "water proof". I personally do not want anything that is water proof. Whatever chemical they add to make something waterproof always, always irritates me eyes. Water proof mascaras have made my eye lashes completely fall out and it has taken years to grow them back.
However, I rather liked the clay foundation by Tarte, which also claims it is waterproof though it has nothing in it that irritates my skin or eyes. So I thought I would try the eyeliner. Love the consistency. I dip my brush in the product and smooth in it on the brush using either the lid or my palette. I find it easy to apply and to get the results I wanted. I set it with a little bit of powder just to be sure. I didn't have problems with smudging or flaking even in the North Carolina humidity.
I did however find it difficult to remove. I do an oil cleansing method of removing my makeup which has never failed me, but this was stubborn. I got off as much as I could without scraping off my eye lids, and still some stayed around my lash line. Fine. Well the next day I washed my face in the morning (the way I normally do), and it was still in my lash line. Fine. However, the deal breaker for me was that it burned my eyes. The first application was fine, and wearing it all night was fine. But all of the next day my eyes burned. Nothing was in my eyes. I had used no other new products, and this was the only thing that was different and still in my lash line causing the burning.
Finally, during my shower, I was able to remove the rest of this liner. Thankfully I lost no eyelashes. For whatever reason, whatever chemical they used, burned my eyes all day. I don't know what it is about water proof... but I wish more things were made without it.
I really liked the rich black color, and how easy it was to apply for me using an angled brush. But the burning will keep me from buying it again. /sigh

"Perfect accomodation for any season"
I stayed here with my new wife for a week at the beginning of October. The weather changed frequently but we could adapt perfectly. When sunny, we could sit in the sun on the terrace, when rainy, we could stay inside the warm and comfortable apartment, and for anything else, it was not far to cycle or drive to walking trail with amazing views of the Tatra mountains. The view from the window is of a wide range of the Tatra's, so sometimes we could literally say "good weather, lets go for a Mountain peak!".
The accommodation itself had everything. A cooker, fridge, Microwave, Large shower, Large TV, Double bed in living room and 2 single beds in spare room. There were also 4 great bikes free to use.
Agnieszka was also a wonderful host. she was quick to reply to my emails and even organized several surprises for my new wife according to my specifications.
A perfect stay in a wonderful location

To Swing Or Not To Swing
Released: Jan 1955
Label: Fantasy Records
While West Coast cool jazz musicians were largely informed by bebop, they loved playing with the swing masters they grew up on. This date from guitarist Kessel is a great case in point: young modernists like Shelly Manne, Bill Perkins, Red Mitchell, and Jimmy Rowles jam away with elder statesmen "Sweets" Edison and Georgie Auld. Good fun from start to finish.
