On Location: Mrs. Doubtfire
Welcome to "On Location," a micro-feature taking you to little-known cinematic locations of SF and taking a look at the films shot in the city by the bay over the years.
Stylish Gifts for the Bike Lover on Your List
It's not easy to find a gift for the bike-obsessed person on your holiday list. Chances are, if they wanted it they already got it for themselves. But with so many bike shops in San Francisco, and the bike industry exploding with new stylized gear, there's still a lot that the gear head in your life may not even know about. I searched the city to find some of the coolest, most stylish gear gift ideas. Here are my picks:
Three Recently Revamped San Francisco Hotels
Take a glimpse at the San Francisco skyline and you won't notice anything out of the ordinary. Yet, walk into a few downtown San Francisco hotels and you might notice some stark differences. That's because local hotels have been getting major upgrades. Today, we feature three San Francisco hotels that have recently undergone significant renovations.
San Francisco Area Hotels That Offer Free WiFi
This topic of WiFi is a touchy subject in the travel industry. While most bed and breakfasts and budget hotel brands have gotten the memo that travelers want complimentary Internet access, many luxury hotels continue to charge for it, often at a daily rate close to what you may be paying for a month of Internet access at home.
One of Our Own Ties the Knot in a Vintage Woodsy Wedding
California Home + Design's Online Editor, Owen Ray, wed his lovely wife, Caitlin, at Stern Grove Trocadero Clubhouse in San Francisco. Pardon our bias as CHD's sister company (aka Owen's co-workers), but we can't help getting lost in these wedding photos and falling back in time for a moment.
Tying the Knot and Smiling A Lot at The Ritz-Carlton San Francisco
As the bride prepared for her big day, Otis Redding's "Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay" played in the background–a very fitting tribute to our beautiful City by the Bay, which was the location for Robia and Dave Crisp's fun-filled wedding ceremony.
Our Favorite Shots of the Endeavour Flying Over San Francisco
As the Endeavour passed over the city this morning, you all Instagrammed like crazy! The retired NASA space shuttle made its final flight down the California coast atop a modified 747 jumbo jet today. After completing a total of 25 flights to space, the shuttle certainly derserved all the attention it got from the people of San Francisco. The California Science Center in Los Angeles is the shuttle's new and permanent home. In case today's flight over the city wasn't enough for you, it will be on public display starting October 30.
For those who missed the shuttle, the 7x7 team chose some of their favorite photos from today's excitement to share. Take a look at what some of your fellow San Franciscans saw this morning.
A Couple Travels Back in Time to Tie the Knot at San Francisco City Hall
Nick and Victoria Gutierrez let their favorite decade inspire their ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. A relaxed 1920's-themed wedding evolved into a larger reception the following day where guests danced the night away at a "speak-easy" bar.
Scenes of the City: Coit Tower
The 210-foot iconic tower stands as a beacon in the northern end of the city, something we pass everyday but many locals have never been in it or know much about it.
Scenes of the City: Chinatown
We took a moment to delve into one of San Francisco's most lively 'hoods. Chinatown is home to stacked apartments, street art, things to buy, eat, and drink. Check out one of the many countries within our diverse city.

After yesterday's forearm surgery on tight end Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is pleased with the report he got from the doctors.
Kraft says on Gronkowski's post surgery prognosis: "We were told it was as good a report as we could hope for."
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) May 21, 2013
Now that it looks like Gronk's arm is OK, he may need to undergo surgery on his back. We'll know in about four to five weeks whether he'll need to go under the knife.

...Shut up and kiss me
The red name of the motel next door blinked, broken for the last two years. I sat again in my office in the downtown district, where all kind of people could be seen. I looked at the door, the word Detective seen to me as a mirror image of what it was seen as outside my old office. The cigarette butt I had just dumped into my ash tray was still red and smoking, but that was nothing new for my taste. A half-empty bottle of whiskey and a glass with nothing but a centimeter of the same stuff on the bottom was set into the reach of my right arm. Another night, the smoke from the sewers climbing up as pillars of smoke with the figure of walking people seen as mere shadows through it. My trusty Colt was in my shoulder holster and the hat of mine was dipped over my eyes.
A knock on the door and the slow open of it. The fist thing I could see was the legs of an ordinary femme fatale. A beautiful thing with soft lips, long legs and soft brown hair. Some of them had big, blue eyes, but I really couldn't care less of these beings. I couldn't hear what she said, I was too busy staring at her body from under my hat, but I took it as some sort of a greeting nonetheless. My hands went into the drawer and picked up my pack of cigarettes and a match. In no time, a cigarette hung on my lips again and the soft smoke of it filled the already smoky air of the office.
"What brings a lady such as yourself in this part of town?" I asked and could remember the first time I felt that fragrance of a luring and dangerous woman in my nose. Legs got herself a seat and looked at me with those dangerously sensual eyes of hers and the slightly open, full lips that were like ready to kiss me if I dared to get any closer
Well, this is my start of a
film noir
-style of story. Hope you like the start. I'll get some more story into it maybe later today or tomorrow. Criticism is good!
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance,
the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe,
are challenged by this point of pale light.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.
In our obscurity in all this vastness there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
- Carl Sagan

Civil War-Era Memories from The Memphis Daily Appeal
from The Memphis Daily Appeal
In recognition of the Civil War Sesquicentennial, "Civil War-Era Memories" features excerpts from The Memphis Daily Appeal of 150 years ago. The Appeal is publishing from Atlanta. Perspective from our staff is in italics.
Apr. 21, 1864
Memphis Intelligence — Favorable notice is made of the present cleanliness of the city. Both citizens and the authorities are displaying commendable zeal in this behalf ... Steps have also been taken to renumber the houses on Main Street and Front Row ... Washington and Fourth Streets have been lighted with gas.
The price of shaving has increased to twenty-five cents. The Argus queries, "whether this last raid of the barbers was caused by the high price of soap, or the extra elongation of the faces of those of the citizens who allowed the recent menaced attacks of Forrest to disturb their equanimity."
Apr. 23, 1864
Death of a Memphian — The Nashville Times of the 16th has a paragraph stating that Alderman Vollentine, an old citizen of Memphis, Tenn., was recently killed in an affray with a newspaper reporter, named Moffit. (For more, see http://deadmemphistalking.blogspot.com/2013/02/poor-memphians-1861.html)
Apr. 24, 1864
Lincoln, in a speech in Baltimore, referred to the massacre at Fort Pillow, and said if the report was confirmed, he would take retaliatory steps.
Apr. 26, 1864
Through the Northern papers / Grumbling at Memphis — There is a gritting of teeth among the officers here when the massacre of the brave garrison at Fort Pillow is alluded to. Several officers have been heard to say that unless the Government takes retributive steps, they will consider it their duty to shoot every man of Forrest's command they meet, and take no prisoners. The soldiers threaten to shoot Forrest's men now in Irving prison, if they get a chance.
Apr. 27, 1864
Fashions — We devote considerable space this morning to the reproduction of the New York Herald's usual article on "the spring fashions" and "the opening day in New York" to which the special attention of our lady readers will be at once directed. While they are debarred from indulging their tastes in dress, as of yore, a perusal of the article referred to will revive old times, and preserve and keep fresh in their memories happier days.

Bonus Points if you know the song from the quote in my headline and who sings it. I will give you a hint, it is from the 80s. Ok, on to the more serious stuff now. I arrived in Los Angeles more than 7 years ago to pursue my doctorate at UCLA. The longer I stay, the more I fall in love with Southern California. Why? On most Saturday mornings you can find me cycling on the PCH in Malibu with friends. I think it is a glimpse of heaven. Can one imagine a more beautiful and peaceful place than riding alongside the ocean in Malibu? If you haven't figured it out by now, I am quite athletic and enjoy being outside. Among other things, I have become fond of hiking the various trails throughout the area, surfing and playing beach volleyball at Ocean Park. Within the last year, I have gotten into triathlons and century rides. I did the Malibu triathlon this fall. While I do spend considerable time on the Westside, I am not one of these people afraid to venture east of the 405. I have always had a desire to explore, if I didn't I would not be in SoCal today. It is just better to do that exploring with a companion, don't you think? Having spent 6 years outside of the US on my own, I am absolutely convinced of this. I have travelled a considerable amount - for work, pleasure, conferences, research and studies. Right out of college I drove all over the lower 48 as a professional caddy on the LPGA. Additional schooling in Montreal and Beirut. Conferences in Washington DC, Rome, Athens, and Doha. With trips to Paris, Prague, Istanbul, the Turkish Coast, Sharm al-Sheikh Egypt, the Italian Rivera, and Greek Island hopping. In fact, I just went on my third trip to the Greek Islands this summer and hoping to go again soon. Anyone interested in skiing the Alps one day or riding a bike throughout Ireland? I am looking for a confident, sassy woman who is quite feminine but is not afraid to get her hands dirty from time to time. Banter is much appreciated since I myself can be very silly at times. Lastly, I want to be stimulated physically as well as intellectually.

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Congratulations to Tim LaCroix and Gene Barfield, whose marriage is the first legal same-sex marriage in Michigan. Their wedding on March 15, 2013 is not only a legal recognition of their 30-year relationship, but also the first marriage performed under the amended Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians marriage statute, which was approved on March 3 by the tribal council and signed into law by Odawa Tribal Chairman Dexter McNamara, who performed the ceremony, on the morning of March 15.
The Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians is a federally recognized Native American tribe of Odawa Indians. A large percentage of the 4600 tribal members reside within the tribe's traditional homelands on the northwestern shores of Michigan's Lower Peninsula in Charlevoix and Emmet counties. The largest communities within the reservation boundaries are Harbor Springs, where the tribal offices are located, Petoskey, where the Tribe operates the Odawa Casino Resort, and Charlevoix.
As Brandon Hubbard reports in the Petoskey News, LaCroix and Barfield, both of Boyne City, Michigan, met in 1983 in Orlando when they were serving in the U.S. Navy.
The couple had long desired to marry, but often lost hope that it would be possible. "Even in my coming out years, the thought of marriage was so far fetched that it really didn't show up on my mental landscape," Barfield said.
When the Odawa Tribe adopted a resolution to accept same-sex marriage in 2012, Barfield proposed to LaCroix, who is a tribal member. LaCroix accepted the proposal, but their plans were put on hold when the amendment to the marriage statute failed in the tribal council.
In a surprise move on March 2, however, the marriage statute was reintroduced for a vote and on March 3 picked up the necessary 5 votes after a provision was included requiring at least one union member to be a tribal citizen.
The Odawa tribe is only the third tribe, after the Coquille Tribe of Oregon in 2009 and the Suquamish Tribe of Washington in 2011, to include same-sex marriage in its sovereign governmental laws.
In announcing that he would sign the new marriage statute, Odawa Tribal Chairman Dexter McNamara said, "There should not be a dividing line and we should all be able to seek a good life."
A long-time friend of LaCroix and Barfield, McNamara agreed not only to sign the statute but also to marry the two men.
As Miriam Leitsinger reports at NBC News, the ceremony, containing many traditional elements, was conducted in both English and Ojibwa before dozens of well-wishers.
A maple sapling, bent into a hoop with cedar, sage, tobacco and sweetgrass tied to it, was used in the ceremony. The sweetgrass was lit, and the hoop was waved up and down over the couple to ward off evil spirits and bring in good spirits.
"To have Tim's tribal community, which are an ancient people, welcome me into their midst and . . . that we are welcome as a married couple in a community, I'm just flabbergasted at how good this makes me feel," Barfield said, chuckling as he later added, "This goes to prove that the great American author Mark Twain was right: all things come to him who waits and doesn't die in the meantime."
McNamara said that it was an "historic" day for the tribe. He added that he thought other tribes in the state might follow their lead.
"We've been a role model, I think, for the federally recognized tribes of Michigan and it seems like we're out in front--and not taking anything away from the other federally recognized tribes--but, you know, it seems like we kind of opened the door for other tribes and I think other tribes will follow," he said.
Even now that they are married, however, major legal questions remain for Barfield and LaCroix, such as whether they will be able to file joint taxes with the state of Michigan or Internal Revenue Service and whether either will be able to claim survivor social security benefits.
Nevertheless, LaCroix and Barfield expressed gratitude to the tribal council and chairman for the opportunity to wed.
"There are other things we would have liked to do. We would have liked to adopt, but we are too old now," LaCroix reflected. But he added that he is happy that there will be now be hope for younger couples.
"The thought of being able to marry you," Barfield said to LaCroix, "is a really big deal for me."

We know that we live in a great community with a bright future. Hearing four of Aiken Countys leaders tell us why reinforces what we already knew, and gives us more reason to be proud.
Wednesday afternoon, community leaders from all walks of life gathered at the USC Aiken Convocation Center for the Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerces State of Our Community annual meeting. County Council Chairman Ronnie Young, Aiken Mayor Fred Cavanaugh, School Superintendent Beth Everitt and Chamber Chairman Arthur Buzz Rich presented highlights of the accomplishments of the past year and plans for the future. The lists were long and impressive: new construction, striving for improvements, new businesses and investments, more and better communications with the public. These are things we know about, but hearing what can be accomplished in a year is inspirational.
Certainly the speakers focused on the positive, as they should in that setting. But they didnt shy away from problems.
Cavanaugh opened his remarks by mentioning the shooting deaths of two Aiken Department of Public Safetys officers in December and January. Those senseless killings galvanized the community, bringing people together and prompting discussions and action on problems we need to address problems such as crime and poverty that can become generational.
Everitt had a long list of successes and new programs. But she isnt satisfied the the B grade the school system received from a new state grading system. So, the district is putting plans in place to help turn that B into an A.
Young noted that Aiken County is fortunate to have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the state, but its not a reason to celebrate, he said.
I wont be satisfied until every person in Aiken County that wants a job, has a job, Young said.
It should be noted that the highlight of the annual meeting was a performance by the 82nd Airborne All-American Chorus from Fort Bragg, N.C. This amazing group of soldier/singers was entertaining, and inspirational. Now we need to find a way to get them to come back to Aiken for another performance.

The bad news for Jacksonville State was that it will have to start a new streak after Florida became the first team to hold the Gamecocks scoreless in 12 years. The good news is the Alabama school left town with its athletic department $500,000 richer after its 23-0 loss to the No. 7 Gators on Saturday. The half-million payout to the Gamecocks will go a long way to balance out the school's athletic budget. And while there are few good things about a shutout, the Gamecocks came away from the game against the nation's No. 7 ranked team with some positive feelings. ''We could have scored on them,'' JSU coach Jack Crowe said. ''We had some scoring opportunities in the first half. ''I was proud of our guys for the way they fought. I appreciate having the opportunity to play the University of Florida. We don't take these games for granted. They are very important to us.'' Jacksonville State made an opening statement on the first play of the game. Kevyn Cooper took a short pass from Ma...

Homemade applesauce is the perfect autumn snack. Farm stand apples are slowly cooked with a bit of brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. You can make this recipe on the stove top or in the slow cooker. This applesauce is delicious in baked goods or served alongside pork chops.
5 apples from a local tree if possible
1 cup water (more if necessary)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of salt
Peel and core apples. Thinly slice and rough chop them. Add them to a medium-to large pot over medium-high heat on the stove. Add water and stir. Once the water starts to simmer, reduce heat to med-low and stir. Add cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and stir. Cook over medium low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Depending on how you like the consistency of your applesauce, cook another hour for softer sauce.

Loving life…
*I am very clear in my profile about what I like so please read.* A little bit about me... I am hoping to share time with someone who is looking for a laid back, great time and mutually interested in developing something special. I have been separated for quite some time and I expect things to be finalized soon. I spend most of my time traveling for work but I would like to balance that with placing more emphasis on my social life. I love traveling for pleasure, good conversation, fine dining and much more. I believe that my friends will describe me as an optimist; someone who loves to laugh as well as loves to make others laugh; loyal; honest; and a straight shooter. A little about him...My ideal guy is understanding, non-self-righteous; sincere; hardworking; confident but humble; honest with me; and most importantly, honest with himself. I am very much attracted to a mature man, who is a great conversationalist. While I enjoy all of these aspects of a man, I am also attracted to an intellectually, stimulating man who is physically fit and takes great care of his body. I'm not attracted to overweight or obese men. I feel that I must put this in here to be explicit as I've noticed that there is a misconception or different interpretation as to what's "athletic and toned." I'm not looking for perfection but someone who cares about his appearance inside and out.
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Golf, Other types of exercise, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.

National Harbor, which is a wonderful place to take walks and it has good restaurants...Golf and beach resorts, I love playing golf although I am no good at it and I love the feel and relaxtion of the beach.
I love to go for walks, dinner, dancing as well as relaxing at home. I like to do almost anything and I am pretty flexible as long as I am in the company of someone with a great conversation.

China's Still Mad at Nehru
The Times of India reports that a Chinese Communist Party newspaper has published a "document review" describing how Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister, supposedly misled China's premier Zhou Enlai concerning Tibet. Nehru supported Tibetan independence, the Chinese paper says, but was not honest about it:
Nehru had assured Zhou that New Delhi respected China's sovereignty over Tibet and then encouraged the Dalai Lama to work for Tibet's independence, the paper explained.
Interestingly, China published this account while their president Hu Jintao was in New Delhi meeting with the Indian government over the countries' long-standing border dispute. But even discussing the border dispute so openly is a sign the countries are moving closer and working on increasing trade ties. Tensions have typically run high between the two countries since their border war in 1962, and because of China's close ties with Pakistan and India's cooperation with the Tibetan government-in-exile, but the two rapidly growing economies seem committed to overcoming years of mistrust.
Along these lines the Christian Science Monitor reports that India's cries for a free Tibet are growing fainter as economic ties with China increase.

Another Tuesday and another United Soccer League's Pro division Team of the Week. And make it two more awards for Oklahoma City Energy FC as Mark Howard and Mikey Lopez were named to the team for week 15.
Lopez, who was on loan from Sporting Kansas City for the last month, was recalled by the MLS team on Monday. The second-year pro scored his first professional goal on Saturday in Energy FC's 2-0 win over Sacramento.
Howard scored the other goal in the match, heading in a corner kick from Adda Djeziri in the 52nd minute.
It is the first time this season either Lopez or Howard has earned the award. Foward Kyle Greig and defender Kyle Miller both earned honorable mention for the team. Greig missed on his only shot in the match, a breakaway attempt that would've made the score 3-0. Greig made the team in week 3 and Miller in week 4.

What's so good?
By David Peter Simon | Jun 21, 2013 | Total plays: 7,835
Kirrin Island is a Hamburg-based producer and artist who has just released a wonderful full-length called Cassette. Apparently influenced by "post-step and trippy soundscapes," it's filled to the brim with beats that crackle, snap, and pop. Sort of like snap-hop.
I love this track's twisted feel, with a haunting addition from fellow German enna. They've also collaborated on a cover of Little Dragon's epic "Twice." Eery. In fact, almost all of Kirrin Island's tracks tug at a sort of balance between eery and enchanting. Listen to EA or Broad-Leaved Forrest and you'll get what I mean.
For more info about Kirrin Island, hit his Tumblr or listen to this album on Bandcamp. Don't miss his seductive video, I Love It, which features glockenspiel by fellow abstract ambient artist A Thousand Vows.

Now before I continue lets get the boring legal stuff out of the way....
Check the laws in your local area, some places you cant even own a still let alone use it to make a drinkable product, check it out first. I know in New Zealand you can make your own booze and in the UK you can have a still that makes up to 5L if you have a permit.
ok lets carry on, so why am i making another keg still if I already have one? well its turns out that even in pot still mode the reflux still does not give enough flavour on the spirit, it strips it out due to refluxing too much. When you want to make rum and gin and other flavoured spirits you need a Pot Still as a reflux still will just strip out the flavours.
Now it is worth having a column for the reflux still as you can use this to make vodka which can be used to make gin in your pot still later on. I have both a pot still column and a reflux column now and they both fit on the same boiler, Now I will be repeating the boiler making process as some people may be reading this and have not seen the original instructable so I have to assume they don't have a boiler yet.
Where did you put the thermometer in?
Hey, how much energy can you put in this device?
Isn't the 15mm copper pipe to thin?
What about pressure?
Thanks for this great instructable!
After much toil and trouble, we finally made a batch. We discovered that Mason jar replacement rubber is exactly the right fit, and very cheap. Put the element power control in a junction box and had it checked to make sure it was safe. Added a ground on the advice of the electrician. As you can see, the thumper is a repurposed 20L pressure cooker (our first still) sitting on a hot plate to control additionnal heat.
Nicodemus, you are a genius, your design is what inspired us for our own project.
you should do a write on on here ;-)
Cheers !
funny that, I'm just a humble hobbyist too ;-) you don't have to be an expert to write an instructable. I think it would have been good to see yours as you are using a worm and not a liebig, would have been good to see how that was wound, for the users ;-)
Wound it the old fashioned way : two of us winding it around a scuba tank by hand. We did it slowly to avoid kinks in the soft copper piping. This video was our inspiration : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah_tcY1pZvs
lol I wouldn't say I am a genius, just did the research ;-) but thanks.
nice adaptation to the design, liking the thumper, I ditched my thumper as it wasnt big enough. and I 3D printed an enclosure to my controller, and it had an earth (ground in the US) too ;-)
I'm actually going to sell my still, I need the room for my latest project, building a life sized version ED-209 from the 1987 film robocop. check out and like the facebook page to keep up to date with the project,
I will build a new still at some point which I am thinking will be a copper pot :-D
i have a question where did you buy your heating element? i live in USA any suggestions for looking for a heating element. im trying to keep it in my budget so i figured id buy two 1500W heating elements would this be enough to get a good boil for the mash ? and would you recommend using the variable control for the element or could i just use the 120 v plug to get 1500 watt ?
you need the controller to control the heat and stop it from scorching the wash. also if you run it flat out you will have very weak product at the end. you need to be able to balance the heat.
another cheat for the liebig is to use a 3/4x3/4x1/2" tees saves drilling and stuffing around for the inlet and outlet lines ;) awesome writeup btw n1codmus ;)
Stop spamming the tread you have already given a link to your site once on my instriuctable
i did it and its working as i type
bit rough on the auld solder but it works
thanks n1cod3mus
thanks for all the replies too
you're great
what are you running?
I also have some plum wine and apfelweine I want to give a go
I have dodge elderflower champagne that is sparkling nicely but taste yeasty , you thinks the still can sort that out for me?
not sure about doing the sparkling in the still, might cause a lot of foam and the still to puke, you may want to have a hunt around the wine forums for answers.
try putting it in a really cold place for a few days, the yeast should settle to the bottom and you can then ciphon it off to a new container.
love your designs I've made both you stills now and love them. mine is slightly different to yours as you will see in the photos. I already had a condenser that I made for a bloke based on what he wanted which was huge. he ended up not wanting it cause he wanted a reflux still so I ended up with it and adapted it to suit my still and thumper. the still works great and I can't wait to try your jacks recipe. .
nice setup ;-)
Where did you get that element from? Ive been searching for one online, and only find ones with out the temp probe.
i'm taking the probe out anyway so if you can get them without the probe you can just skip that step

Run to the Hills - A Mondulkiri Adventure.
Last week myself and three other riders left our homes in Phnom Penh, Cambodia to have a bit of a week long blast in the eastern part of the country: Mondulkiri.
It's a wonderful place with huge tracts of rain-forest surviving there in spite of huge amounts of illegal logging. The whole province is at an elevation of +1000m - so the air is cooler and less humid than the rest of the country.
The idea came from me talking about a few trips I have done in the country & a few of my regulars (I have a bar) liked the sound of a trip in the mountains.
Last week the country came to complete standstill for the Khmer New Year celebrations - so what better time to shut up shop and take off than then?

First my bike needed a little resurrecting from a prang a few weeks earlier.
New throttle and clutch cables, new indicators, new switches for the throttle hand side, new radiator cap, new headlamp cowl (secondhand, repainted), fixed and repainted side panels with new stickers, straightened mountings for all front bits and plastic welded the rear fender mounts (again), new brake lever, new brake reservior and clamps, better hand-grips & new mirrors.
Total repair cost =$180.
Leaving me with a more serviceable machine:
Time to pack:
That wire was useful in the end

First they were four.
Tibo (FRA) on the Cream AX-1 (Moto age 28)
Wayne (GB) On the matt black XR 250 (Moto estimated to be 20)
Yours Truly (IRL) on the blue AX seen above with Wayne's bike (Moto age 23)

I closed my bar at 2am on Wednesday morning and headed home to double check my packing in preparation for a 6.30am rendezvous at a coffeeshop before we hit the road.
Naturally, I could not sleep too much and after tossing and turning for a few hours took a call from wayne who said he didn't think he could come along as he had been up all night with chest pains (bronchial infection). I commiserated with him and told him to go and see a doctor.
At that stage I got up, showered, geared up and went to meet the crew.
Naturally they all straggled in at around 7am and - to my surprise - so did Wayne. Apparantly his chest began to feel better a while after we spoke.
After a hearty meal of iced coffee and cigarettes we revved up in unison (sounded satisfying ) - and plunged into the hyper busy and dangerous Phnom Penh holiday traffic.
Wayne and Andy took off in one direction and I went the other way along with Tibo. As we all had to take the same bridge out of town it didn't matter much what route one took to there.
I saw Tibo take a bad street beside a normally batshit busy market - so I cut a few blocks west and made it to the bridge before the other three bikes.
I considered waiting but the whole area was a chaotic mess of buse, bikes, cars, trucks, pedestrians and Police so I kept going over the bridge and onto road 6a out of the city. . .
More to come later on. It's 4pm here and is opening time. . .

National Road 6A out of Phnom Penh is nuts on a holiday. Nuts all the time really - but much worse when the entire city tries to leave at once.
It's only two lanes and was loaded with mini-buses and cars seriously overloaded pulling on and off the road without signalling, driving in the middel of the road and, of course, a million badly driven Moto's to boot.
The police were out in force "checking" for overloaded vehicles. In reality they were extorting a small bribe from each one to line their pockets. Fortunately they leave people on bigger bikes alone. 250cc is a bigger bike in Cambodia
I knew I was ahead of Tibo - but was not so certain about Wayne & Andy - so I decided to do 50km and wait for them at the Preah Veng turn-off where we would take a right turn and cross a new bridge over the Mekong.
I was filtering the traffic at an estimated 120km/ph when Tibo caught up with me so we drove together to the turn-off and waited for Wayne and Andy while having an iced coffee and pastry.
A view from the turn-off:

After ten minutes or so Wayne rolled in and past us but we managed to get his attention and we waited another five minutes for Andy.
Andy was on my DR. He normally drives a semi-auto Honda Wave and it had been close to 20 years since he had driven a manual bike in anger. He had borrowed the DR a week earlier to refresh his skills - but his clutch control was not what it should be.
In addition the DR was a tad too tall for him to flatfoot and he wasalso very nervous about leaning the knobbly tires on tarmac - so waiting for him was to become a common them of the trip.
Oh yeah - he was not to hot on the whole decompression lever/kickstart side of things too.
But he arrived and we all set off together over the bridge. The road was new and very quiet after the main road so we began to stretch the legs of the bike a little. Wayne came past me, flat over the bars on the XR - so I let him go for a bit and then overtook him.
This carried on for a whie - until I noticed bloe smoke from Wayne's Exhaust, so I flagged him down . .

Right here: Not much around, just some amused locals.
Sure enough, he was burning oil. Checked the oil level and found his bike almost dry. Dirty oil residue in the pipe too.
Andy caught up to us (again)
We sent a child to run and buy a litre of oil and Wayne decided he didn't want to chance a Piston melting in the middle of no-where and that he would return to Phnom Penh and see if he could rent an XR 400 and follow us up that evening.
We comisserated and before we parted ways I took a short clip of this giant haystack driving down the road.
Sorry about the sideways video. I have not figured out how to edit a video through 90 degrees.
Wayne's stricken XR in the background.
And then back on our way, without Wayne. One down.

The next hour was pretty dull. Tibo and I , being on the same bikes and being roughly the same weight all loaded up matched each other pretty evenly and took turns leading down the road.
Andy, not feeling too confident on my DR, had elected to drive at his own pace and we were to stop and wait for him at all major intersections along the way.
The countryside was flat, arid, rice paddy land sitting fallow and brown waiting for the first rains of the year. It actually looked a little like rain that morning and we were hoping to ride out from that system before it came down.
After a while we came to the intersection of road 315 and road 11, which would take us north to National road seven and from Peay Vieng province to Kampong Cham province and we stopped and waited for Andy. And waited, and waited.
Eventually he rolled in. The man would have been faster on his 100cc Honda Wave than on the DR.
On road 11 there was more vegetation at the roadside. This was welcome as the day was heating up and the sun was breaking through the clouds.
This road was busier than the last with many animals, children and tractors on the road, making us drive with more caution than before. There were also a number of narrow steel and wooden bridges that could be scary to hit on a wet day.
Coming into the town of Kong Chey my bike spluttered and I switched to my reserve tank. Then after fifteen more minutes we arrived at the bustling intersection and roads 11 & 7 where Tibo and myself stopped to drink a coconut and eat rice along with a very bony and very tasty chicken stew. It cost $1.50 for us both. We ate as we waited for Andy. . .
. . . who texted a minute later to say he had stalled the bike at one of the wooden bridges and was having trouble kicking her over.
Five minutes later he texted to say he had switched to the reserve tank and the bike had started
When he rocked up ten minutes later he declared he was not hungry yet, so we carried on. Tibo and I had arranged for a fuel stop at the first actual pumping station we saw (as opposed to plastic bottle gas) - because Tibo's reserve did not work on his petcock so he was using my bike's mileage as a guide.
We told Andy to keep going and we would catch him up again, but he must not have listened because when we both stopped he pulled over and waited a few k's down the road. Naturally it took him ages to start her up again.
I felt a bit sorry for him, because he was letting frustration get the better of him and not kicking the bike over as he had been shown - so gaining a sore foot.
When we got back on the road Tibo and I began traveling pretty fast (for a pair of 250cc bikes) - and I shot a video of me catching up to him over a two minute period - when, just at the end of the video, my revs went sky high and I lost forward momentum and pulled over. . . .
Sorry about sideways video. Handheld camera. Just turn either your screen or head through 90 degrees
Now, what the hell could that be,I thought, as I came to a halt? It sounded like I had thrown the chain - but the chain had good tension.
I dismounted and looked at it. The chain was on both sprockets. I was sure I had just busted my gearbox. I start the bike, put it in gear and slowly let out the clutch and the rear sprocket span without moving the wheel.
Yup, I sheared off all four of the forged pins that hold my floating sprocket into the alloy rim.
Not much I could do but text Tibo who had the tow strap and wait for Andy to come past.

Andy came by fifteen minutes later and I flagged him down.
I told him to drive on and see where the nearest town was. After he left Tibo called me. By chance he had stopped to smoke a cigarette 25k further down the road and checked his phone.
He got back to me 15 minutes later and towed me about 5km to the centre of Memot - a sizable town with a large market where we found a machine shop.
A little bit of this:
And a lot of this on the sprocket:
Followed by punching out the broken pins and inserting four bolts for a makeshift repair job left us with this:
The guy charged $15, which was slightly outrageous. I know it's not a lot of money, but this is not a $15 job in Cambodia. $5 would have been fair.
Still, when one is bent over a barrel one gets fucked. I paid, and then, because I didn't think the "Bolt Repair" would get me very far, I popped a small wheelie as I left his shop - because if it was going to break I wanted it to happen there and then.
It held, so we went on our way.

We had told Andy to head for Snuol while the Machine shop boys worked on my bike, so Tibo and I drove out together.
I had Tibo drive behind me for five or ten clicks and keep an eye on my sprocket. I was going slowly at the beginning, but when it became apparant the repair was holding we sped up a bit to make up for lost time and came to the crossroads od Snuol only five minutes behind Andy.
Here we stopped for a drink as the sin was now at full strength and the temperature was well up in the mid-30's.
There's not mush to Snuol. It supplies most of the country's Tarantula crop (deep fried tarantula is real good) and is a bit of a transport hub for the east of the country.
For us, it marked the beginning of the forest and the mountains
Yup, not much to see here. Lets head for the hills . . .

Finally a good road
I had driven this road the previous year when it was almost brand new and it was huge fun. This year was even better as the loose gravel drifts had been taken car of and it had been lined and properly signposted. Hills, lovely twisties and very little traffic made for fun.
Sad to see a lot of slash and burn still going on despite it nominally being a protected area.
We were in need of petrol with about 70km to go to Sen Monorom, our destination for the day, Tibo, in particular as he had done an Extra 50k in coming back to tow my bike, so we stopped at the small town of Sre Preah to fill up.
Then we sat and smoked cigarettes and drank coconuts while waiting for Andy and marveling at just how far behind he could fall on such a short distance.
When he drove by we saddled up and got back onto the mountain road through denser forest.
And we rolled into Sen Monorom at 4.30pm, met and old friend and soaked in some beers, a bite to eat and found a cheap three bed room for the night, excited for what day 2 was to bring.

Next morning we got out of bed at 8am and I advised the two that we could do worse than eat breakfast at Banana's - a restaurant owned by a nice Dutch lady named Tanya.
I met Tanya on my first visit to this province last year and she is an amazing cook, plus a very good conservationist. She has been in this country forever and is probably the longest serving expat here.
This country was waay more dangerous 20+ years ago, so she gets mad respect. If any of you visit Mondulkiri soon - go eat there. You may need to hurry as she is moving to Kampong Cham town this year at some point.
We had quality coffee, delicious wholegrain bread and tortilla omelets to start the day and headed back to the hotel to bring our packs as we were not sure if they had rooms that night and were thinking about staying in a village in the countryside.
I hopped on my bike to change some $$ into Riel - Cambodia's "official" currency - at the local market. Money changed I came back to the hotel - but, as I pulled into the yard I heard this "clack,clack,clack" noise and stopped to kook at my rear sprocket.
To my dismay one of the bolts had loosened itself from the sprocket and was tapping the chain adjuster at the end of my swingarm. It looked like a 14mm bolt so I dig out my 14mm spanner and it turns out it's a 13mm bolt they put in there the day before.
I only carry a 10mm, 12mm,14mm, 17mm, 19mm and 21mm as they can loosen just about anything needing loosening on my bike. Bugger.
I use the highly technical " crisp packet over too small bolt to help wrench it trick" and it will come out but not go back in so I remove it and look for a bike shop. No dice.
1. Nobody fixes big bikes up there, just mopeds.
2. It was Khmer New Year. Nobody works.
So, I went to a place called the Greenhouse which, I remembered from the year before, had a Honda Baja 250 (XR) for rent. Except it was leaning against a wall broken down and a bit dusty.
So I rented a moped.
A very battered Honda Futura Neo Semi-Automatic 125cc. It looked as though it had been crashed by every bastard who rented it in it's life.
I left my maimed AX-1 as security for it and drove the scooter to get petrol. I noticed the footpegs were so badly bent I could not downshift - so I grabbed a handy rock and straightened them with a few thumps.
Then it was back to the Hotel to join up with Andy and Tibo who were looking a bit bored. At this stage it was 11.30 so we hit the road to Bousra Waterfall, our destination for the day.
It was at the end of maybe 50k of fairly bumpy sand/gravel and occasional rutted tarmac sections. It was quite dusty and, naturally, I was trying to beat the two 250's on my little moped - so my kidneys soon began to scream at me.
Here's a pic from the first smoke-and-wash-this-fucking-dust-from-my-mouth stop:
There were a few bridges that were a little dodgy on the way. This was one of the better ones.
Did I mention it got dusty?
This is how it looked when coming up on a car to overtake:
There were some really nice downhill sections. Here's Tibo catching up to the mighty moped:
Then we came to the waterfall. It was very busy with it being a holiday and all. First order of business was to strip off and get under for a nice water massage
Then eat some Pigeon. The head, the heart, the feet - the whole lot.
After that we dressed and decided to look around the area for awhile before heading back to town before nightfall.
Here's Tibo beside my rented battle scooter.
Lets take the less traveled one:
Andy sitting pretty on my DR:
Small overhang:
Ahh, the Jungle:
No way down for a moto:
Doubling back:
As far as the top of the same waterfall we visited earlier:
Tibo looking French:
Andy was a minute or two behind. . .
Here's two video's shot with my free hand while driving the Moped around the area.
Then we made our way back to Sen Monorom, stopped into Mony's cafe and ate three roast chickens with our fingers, drank a case of warm beers and actually managed to get a cheap room to sleep in for the night.

Day 3
The night before we had been doing some brainstorming for where to go the next day.
Initially, I had wanted to do "the death highway" from Monduljiri to Rattankiri province as I had covered the road a year before on the AX-1 at the height of the wet season - and I wanted to see the contrast between deep mud, water and bog in the wet season and deep sand in the dry.
Tibo didn't seem to keen on the idea - he had covered it a few times before - and Andy was probably not proficient enough yet on the DR in terms of clutch control and off road miles to want to try it.
We spoke with Mony - who basically IS Mr Jungle Adventure - about what we could do that would take one day and be quite a challenge while still managing to get back to Sen Monorm that evening.
He suggested that we go to a remote part of the province, through deep jungle, on singletrack. Once there, he said, we could have a dip in a river and eat before coming back an alternate track.
It sounded good, so at 8am in the morning we were breakfasted and ready to roll. . .

We beat out of town after everybody filled up their tanks and headed North.
For the first ten to fifteen K's we were on a graded red clay road, similar to what we drove upon the day before.
As we drove, the forest became denser on either side of the road and the road itself began to look less and less used until it simply disappeared and we were within the trees on black rocky soil, headed uphill.
It was hot, and I stopped frequently to drink water and wait for the last man to catch up.
Generally there were any number of individual paths that one could take through the trees. These paths usually converged every few hundred meters.
We were headed towards a river, at a point where we would be able to ford it which would also mark the point where the terrain got more challenging.
I'm no RTWDoug, I know, but the lask of functional suspension on the moped was really causing my kidneys to kick up. I was bouncing that little thing over tree roots, large rocks and in and out of ruts.
Here it looks like double track. It is not. Just two tracks parallel to each other for the downhill.
I fell off just before taking this photo:
Low speed, no big deal and my own fault - I was driving with one hand on a rocky sloping bit of track and using my free hand to try to take a photo and tipped over
Andy also came off around the same area. He had come past me and to a very gnarly piece of uphill strewn with rocks and at a severe incline. He went halfway up and stalled the bike and tipped it over on himself.
He was trying to kick it over but not having much luck due to a tender instep so I took over but she remained stalled.
By this time Mony had realised we were behind so he came back while I was giving the bike a minute to unflood itself.
Before I could warn him he kicked the DR over without decompressing the engine - and the kickstarter kissed him on the shinbone. He got it started though and took it up the hill before collapsing in pain. Nasty cut.
After a few more minutes we were underway again.
Mony on his Honda Wave:
He had nifty little spacers made for the suspension which give the little bike a 3' lift. Good idea - as with the rental I was on if you braked the rear quite often the pedal would rebound from a rock in the path.
After two hours we came to the first river crossing of the day. There was a buffalo and it's calf there. They made it easy to spot the deep section.

'Bedroom tax' hitting Cumbrian social landlords and tenants alike
Last updated at 15:08, Friday, 18 July 2014
A West Cumbrian social landlord claims that the so-called 'bedroom tax' is leaving its tenants in limbo.
Social landlords say they are losing cash and do not have enough one-bedroom properties to meet demand.
The claims comes in the wake of a major report published by the Cumbria Commission on Welfare Reform, which called for the abolition of the tax.
The recently launched under-occupancy rule means that thousands of people of working age in social housing with a spare bedroom have their benefits cut by as much as 25 per cent.
Keith Dobson, director of assets and homes at Impact Housing Association, said it was losing revenue and did not have enough one-bedroom houses to meet demand.
The association spent several years selling, converting and disposing of its one-bedroom homes because demand wasn't high.
It has two one-bedroom flats, a one-bedroom house and a one-bedroom bungalow on Workington's Salterbeck estate.
Overall it has 155 one-bedroom flats, three one-bedroom houses and 19 one-bedroom bungalows.
Mr Dobson said that the number of bids for one-bedroom properties had increased since the new policy came in.
But, he said, the association was cautious about buying more one-bedroom houses because it was uncertain of the long term situation around the under-occupancy rule.
Before April 2013, the association received an average 12 bids per three-bedroom property, but over the last 12 months that number fell to between two and three.
He said people were put off because of the additional costs associated with the bedroom tax.
The commission's report said the tax made no sense in Cumbria, where there were few major under-occupancy issues.
It has recommended that decisions be taken on an area-by-area basis to decide where the charge, estimated to affect about 5,900 households in Cumbria, was needed.
Bill Barnes, chairman of Home Group's Ewanrigg and Netherton Tenants' and Residents' Association in Maryport, said: "It is a tax that is hitting the very poorest in our society. It is terrible, and it is going to get worse."
Louise Barkes, deputy head of customer service at Home Group, said: "For generations, successive governments encouraged housing associations to build two and three-bedroom properties as they offered the most flexibility for customers and could provide a home for life.
"As a result, just under 10 per cent of our homes in Allerdale are one-bedroom properties.
"Since the introduction of the bedroom tax these homes have been in high demand. We will continue to build a mixture of new properties to provide homes for all sections of the market."
Lynda Coid, operations manager for Westfield Housing Association, said that none of its 459 general need houses were currently empty and there had been no increase in demand for one of its 55 one-bedroom houses.
But, she added, it had become more difficult to get people to move into two and three-bedroom houses and there was an increase of people in arrears.
A spokesman for Your Derwent & Solway declined to comment on how the rule had affected the company, but said the social landlord had a dedicated money advice officer to support tenants.
