Tiny RTW Bike?
I'm considering what to ride for some serious hinterland adventure travel. I'm a schoolteacher, so I've got time, but no money. The cost of gas starts to be an issue with how far I can travel. Also, I am not philosophically someone who needs a large, complex, or new bike. My understanding is that in much of the world simpler, older bikes are going to be preferable for many reasons, including repairability and not looking like a space alien to the folks you meet in the two-thirds world.
Anyway, I'm curious about a bike I see in Mexico a lot. The Honda CB125 is a cute little standard single cylinder with a front disc brake. I never see them in the U.S.A. Does anyone know how hard it would be to bring one into California? I'm not above a litte DMV sleight of hand, either. Comparable machines that are available in the U.S.? Thanks for your wisdom!
Go check out BattleScooters, seriously. I posted a link about a ride a kid took from CA to AK on a Moped. It's called "Crappy Little Dreams" and is a great read.
If he can do it on a Moped you can do it on any bike. There's a group of riders fantasising about doing a big trip on TW200s, check out Loisontheloose she did Alaska to Argentina on a XT225.
+1 on the Yamaha XTs, no sleight of hand required, bulletproof, and known throughout the world :thumb
If you just want to explore one country or region you could just buy a local bike, do your trip then sell it off before you go back to school. Fly in, fly out.
Next trip go someplace else. India, Chile, Thailand, Cambodia, Russia. You can buy a local bike in any of these countries, or rent one. That's what I did but I didn't have much time as I was working.
If you want to have your bike become your whole life and spend years on the road then perhaps a different approach is needed. Then you need to set the bike up for a lot of gear. I would go with a 250 four stroke of some kind.
The Yamaha's are good, but you also have the KLR250, XR250, DRZ250 and more.
Lois is in Africa now, on a new bike, an XT250. See her site for updates and buy her new book.
For more and better information on smaller bikes I suggest you surf over to
More Euro in focus and lots of folks using smaller bikes to do RTW rides.
If that is the bike called the Serrow, it is the first offroad bike I ever road off road, and it changed me as a rider forever. I had a big BMW roadburner--1979 R100RS--fully faired, many aftermarket mods including a 9-gallon Heinrich gas tank and Staintune conti replical pipes as well as dual plugged heads, steel braided brake lines, aftermarket suspension, etc. With those narrow handlebars it was a handful going up three miles of dirt road to a friends house. We sat around for a while and he offered me aride on his crappy little dirt bike (to my eye). What a blast? The opposite of the big BM. I was bombing across this meadow when suddenly I saw a ditch in front of me at an oblique angle. I gassed it and flew over the thing like it wasn't there! I wanted a dual sport from then on, but nevergot one until a couple of months ago when I purchaed a DR650 (1992), the only motorcycle I have ever paid too much for. THe longer Ihave it the more it needs.
Anyway, it would be fitting for me to have an XT225. Can you get aftermarket tanks? What kind of mpg? Is the stock suspension crap?
Holy Shite, She ain't Cheap
I wondered what the bike cost new. I've never bought a bike new, but I've always thought that if I ever got one that hand't been abused by its former ownder, I could keep it on the road forever. But that XT225 costs four-fifths of what KLR 650 does! Ouch!
Back to the CB125, Honda stopped importing them to the US in 1985. I'm not familar with where they are sold now, but I wouldn't think it would be worth it to try and gray market such a bike into the US. It's an Okay bike, but nothing special.
The only new street-legal non-scooter motorocycle sold today that's in this very small size category that I know of is the Kawasaki 125 Eliminator. I know nothing about it, but I was never very fond of the small cruisers when I taught MSF classes (perhaps because my knees kept banging into the handlebars when doing tight turns). I just never found them very much fun to ride.
If you're talking about a bike that you're actually going to ride over long distances and in the states, a 125cc bike is awfully small. It's totally tapped out at 60 mph. I'd instead look for a common, everyday, used 200-250cc air-cooled single of the most recent vintage you can afford that has been well cared for. For a Japanese bike of this size, brand/model isn't very important, but condition is. Certainly $1000 or so would get you a decent machine and you could spend less if you can tinker some and fix minor problems.
You know, Honda has made a great little 250cc twin runabout called the CB250 Nighthawk since 1991. This is a slick little bike and I bet you could find a decent older one for $1K or so. It's a twin so it makes a little more power and is much smoother than the singles. While not a dirt bike, it would go virtually anywhere, be bulletproof, reasonably comfortable, and cruise at 65mph getting 65 mpg.
This thread might be of interest to you.

Have you checked out the MZ125 bikes.
I think they are available in the US and they come in
Street bike, DS and Motard configuration.
I bought a 1995 model last year for $1300. The model hasn't changed in many years. Some of the 90's models are in fruity colors though.
It is a cheap and easy bike to run.
EarthQuaker I like your Spirit already and i'm really glad we have a teacher like you around since you live your life by example and that is a great place to start.
I only know about sur america so is not like my vision of machines is uinversal, but i think the basic ballpark is pretty much "Universal".
I can only tell you in many countrys in sur america two strokes still ride aroud, maybe because they are so simple, cheap and easy to mantain (actually not mantain, but ride around until they dye), yes nasty fumes and ineficient but you can thank DOW Quemical and many other Corporations, for far deeper contaminations issues, not like riding a shitty bike is a excuse but is ussually the least of a III world country problems...
maybe you can have a diferent aproach to things. (Yes not your only choice but a idea.)
My aproach is Basically...
don't worry about the bike, figure out a sistem to carry the gear you need and attach to Any bike, backpacks, duffle bags, bungly cords, ropes, things that you can carry walking, or on the bus, yeah it sound wierd, but if you think about it, trying to cover long distances on a country as bast as the USA on a small bike can be a pain, not to mension really slow and expensive wasting yout time and recourses just getting to the border (always the sae border before you can go any farder), so my basic idea is to travel to your favorite destination ussing a plane, boat or whatever gets you to the target destination in a hurry and then find a bike suitable for your needs on the region, Each country has a popular bike you can buy, rent one even do some kind of Monkey business to use the bike just for a few weeks, ride the thing around the country(s) when you are done, sell it, donated, give it back to who ever lend it to you and then come back to your teaching job until you batteries are recharge for the next adventure, this way you are not face with all the issues of bringing a bike back into the USA, paying for the boat fees to transport the bike, the very smart people at the DMV, etc.
Think "Motorcycle diaries" were the Bike is just a medium a tool if you like but not the focus or the main goal of the trip..
another side Topic.
about 25 years ago I meet a little guy riding a single speed bicycle (40 pound "gardener" special) at first he look like a million other dark skin sur american man, exept for the fact of a sign on his handlebars saying, "my first trip around the world" writen in ingles anyway the gentleman was from India and was already on his ten years of riding around the world when I meet him, the last time I ear from him (I have a Indian friend that is in the diplomatic community) he was on his second loop being already about 55 years old..
i tell you this story, just for contrast, if you can ride a bicycle for 30 years around the wolrd, working as a magician to make the little money that you need, any motorbike is already a luxury what will let you travel in style..
best of luck finding your Jorney and also your destination

Don't know if you get these in the US,. but the Honda CD200 Roadmaster (4 stroke twin) is legendary in much of Africa, Pakistan, India and the Middle East. They seem to go forever.
(They are also the Rolls Royce of pizza delivery bikes around these parts...)
1 Attachment(s)
Found some pics of a Roadmaster on tour with (I think) an old XL 500 Honda...
That CD200 looks like it has the exact same motor as my CM200 Twinstar... another bike to consider would be honda's TMX 155. Seen billions of 'em in the filippines attached to sidecars carrying 8 people, 6 pigs, and 12 chickens...
edit: looks like this may be only available in the filippines...
Maybe a Honda 250 Nighthawk??

Banahan set for recall
Bath powerhouse in line for another England chance
It's terrific. He's been working really hard and it will be great to see him get another opportunity. Where it's going to be I don't know. We saw Delon Armitage go on at 13 for England in yesterday's game so if I was a betting man I'd put some money on him starting at 13.

Matt Banahan is poised to return to the England squad against Samoa at Twickenham on Saturday after being withdrawn from Bath's 18-16 away defeat to Wasps in the LV=Cup.
Bath head coach Steve Meehan revealed that he replaced Banahan with youngster Nick Scott following a request from England manager Martin Johnson.
"England told me Matt will be in the 22 next weekend," Meehan said. "Matt was in camp with England last week and, after yesterday's Test, I got a message from Martin saying 'We're going to have to keep him'."
Banahan won his five previous England caps on the wing but has been playing in the centre recently for Bath.
Meehan, who described Banahan's recall as "great for him," said: "It's terrific. He's been working really hard and it will be great to see him get another opportunity.
"Where it's going to be I don't know. We saw Delon Armitage go on at 13 for England in yesterday's game so if I was a betting man I'd put some money on him starting at 13."
Meehan was pleased with the performance of his back row - young flankers Josh Ovens and Guy Mercer and try-scoring number eight Ben Skirving - who competed well with Wasps' England trio of Joe Worsley, Tom Rees and Dan Ward-Smith.
"They were dogged in their spirit and kept going for the 80 minutes," Meehan added. "Their youth and enthusiasm was noticeable today."
Wasps bounced back from their 29-6 defeat at Exeter in last weekend's opening LV=Cup match and director of rugby Tony Hanks said: "It was important for us to get a win, we want to stay in this competition.
"But it was more about the way we fronted up after last week and I thought the attitude and application were very good. We started with a lot of energy."
Full-back Jack Cuthbert, with the last kick of the match, narrowly missed the long-range penalty which would have snatched victory for Bath and Hanks said: "After being nine points up we didn't really need to put ourselves in that position."
Mark Van Gisbergen's six penalties from seven kicks secured the win for Wasps but Hanks revealed: "He's been kicking rubbish at training but he was tremendous today.
"He has a great temperament for goalkicking and has been given the number 10 jersey which he hasn't played properly for five years, so he had the responsibility of running the game as well."
Wasps expect to have first-choice fly-half Dave Walder back from injury for next weekend's Aviva Premiership home clash with London Irish, but could be without hooker Rob Webber, who was withdrawn at half-time with an elbow injury.

Ben G says...
I have yet to be convinced by Banahan, good club player but I don't think he fits in with this current England team. Look at the wings we have? And as for centre, well don't you have to be able to catch and pass to a pretty high standard?!

Small to Medium Size 23-Ounce Justh & HunterSmall to Medium Size Justh & Hunter Gold Ingot. CAGB-352. Q. David Bowers, in his A California Gold Rush History, offers general notes about the Justh & Hunter ingots recovered from the S.S. Central America, including two key observations. First, "Surfaces often irregular, particularly on the reverse." Second, "Some ingots from San Francisco [assay office] have part of the serial number, the last two digits, repeated on the reverse." Both are true in the case of this ingot, a small to medium-sized example in the Bowers scale.
Gold Ingot from the S.S. Central America
Gold Ingot from the S.S. Central America
All faces show considerable irregularities, with the top face surprising by showing the most irregularities of all. Through the valleys, the punched information from top to bottom: NO. 4341 / [arcing Justh & Hunter imprint] / 23.00 OZ / 890 FINE. / $423.15 [in 1857 terms].
Corner cuts at the upper right of the top face and its diagonal opposite; both corner cuts show rust stains, as does the bottom face, in and near the hollow from the ingot-casting process. This rust is prone to flaking, and appears to have done so within the plastic holder. As noted above, the digits 41 appear at the upper right part of the bottom face, a San Francisco office characteristic for Justh & Hunter ingots. The ingot measures 43 x 61 x 16 mm.
At just 23 ounces, this ingot is accessible to a variety of collectors and researchers, and the Justh & Hunter imprint also falls in a "sweet spot" of sorts, not so elusive as to be inaccessible, but at the same time it is not so broadly available as the Kellogg & Humbert ingots. In sum, it is a prize for the tasteful California gold collector.

Hard News: Things worth knowing,
If Collins falls, that could have major strategic consequences, given that she's a senior Cabinet Minister in a core portfolio of high importance. It could sow antagonism between Key and Collins, dent her leadership aspirations but also clear Steven Joyce's probable role as Key's ultimate successor. Or not, or might even sow Joyce/Collins animosities in any post-Key National leadership contest and caucus.

Hard News: Spring Timing, in reply to
Actually, Emma, I hope they do. It is long since time that that facile religious social conservative party with a thin garnishing of mixed fiscal conservative and other Mac-policies was exposed for what it really is, with greater investigative scrutiny than some political commentators have managed.
Actually, McCully has ruled that out in a media release in Stuff.co.nz. One wonders if the Nats want that particular tea appointment to get cold, given that Colin Craig is far from the undiluted fiscal conservative that the lazier members of the straight media would like us to believe. Here's my latest little nail in the Con Party coffin...
Hard News: Diverse Auckland: are we…,
Define diversity, though. Auckland also houses a shitload of fundamentalist Christian homophobes and transphobes- Bob McCoskrie/Family First, Colin Craig/the Conservative Party, Family Life International (conservative Catholics), Ian Wishart/Investigrunt, Sky TV fundamentalist channel Shine Television, etc. And also note the Con Party's anti-Treaty perspectives and its stated intent to make it more difficult for foreign workers to enter the country.
So okay, I'm a Canterbury boy and I won't make excuses for my home town ChCh's white supremacist moron problem. Lianne Dalziel and the ChCh Police need to crack down hard on those nauseating racist misfits and their attempted intimidation of Christchurch's East and South Asian communities.
However, Auckland's diversity can be overstated...
Hard News: The Mayor's marginal enemies,
This whole scandal is primarily one of significance and magnitude. Mr Brown's extramarital affair may have been a lamentable betrayal of his marriage vows, but neither infidelity or adultery are regarded as criminal acts within New Zealand, although they may serve as grounds for divorce…unlike Augustan era Rome, many African nations, North and South Korea, Taiwan, Pakistan, India, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines and the US states of Michigan, Maryland, Wisconsin, New York, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Idaho, Oklahoma, Utah, Florida and Alabama, although admittedly, the "offence" carries variable penalties and isn't actively enforced in some US jurisdictions.
I think the best way to deal with political scandals is to ask the following set of questions to assess magnitude or significance: what is the political culture of the nation in question like? What is the nature of the scandal in question, financial or sexual? What is the magnitude and gravity of the scandal in question- as in, how much money is in stake in terms of a financial scandal, or was there rape or child sexual abuse involved in the case of a sexual scandal?
Personally, I'm unhappy with aspects of the Brown mayoralty, unlike many other leftist political commentators- particularly over his administration's attacks on already marginalised street sex workers in Papatoetoe and his repressive council anti-begging ordinance. Do I think he should be sacked for those? No, but I wish the mayor and some of his councillors would realise how draconian, unjust and potentially harmful both are and retract both measures. Let's face it, Auckland badly needs a Single Transferable Vote electoral system.
However, this particular scandal is of lesser significance than the corpulent cavortings of the crack cocaine-imbibing Toronto mayor Rob Ford, who does need to either resign or be removed from office- probably the latter, I'd imagine.
Hard News: Games with Attitude,
Good for them! How about some more coverage of disability discrimination issues on the business end, though? I've covered three instances of that in recent issues of a diabetes prevention newsletter which I currently edit- WINZ, ACC and the Employment Court.
Unfuck Putin, the horse and the PR photoshoot he rode in on...a backgrounder...
Hard News: All John's Friends,
So, Prime Minister…you're talking coalition with the Conservative Party, along with their "bottom line," binding citizens referenda. And yet, your government wants the rest of us to believe that the centre-right is the epitome of "fiscal responsibility" and limited government spending.
Do I spot a contradiction here?

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 09:25AM
Bostock is leaving M&S after eight years "by mutual consent", to pursue other interests, effective 1 October.
She will be replaced by John Dixon, who has been with the company for 26 years, and is currently the executive director of food. Dixon will report directly to chief executive Marc Bolland.
Two new positions have been created as part of the changes by Bolland. Belinda Earl, previously the chief executive of Debenhams, Jaeger and Aquascutum, will take up the position of style director on 1 September, reporting to Dixon and working two to three days a week.
In addition, Patrick Bousquet-Chavanne, the former group president of The Estée Lauder Companies, will take on the new role of corporate director of strategy implementation and business development from 1 September.
Earl's role will involve her spending two to three days each week focusing on product, while Bousquet-Chavanne will be developing strategic initiatives and new concepts across the company.
Dixon's position will be filled by Steve Rowe, currently director of retail.
M&S today (10 July) posted a 0.7% loss in group sales for the 13 weeks to 30 June 2012, with a 0.9% drop in total UK sales and 2.8% drop in like-for-like UK sales.
M&S launched its own "relaxed and modern" bank branches last month, as it moves to leverage the trust in its brand to offer services such as mortgages and current accounts.

Full text not available from this repository.
Immunoglobulin A antibody titres to a cytoplasmic protein extract of Candida albicans were determined by ELISA in saliva from 20 patients with oral candidosis and 21 controls. Patients had significantly increased levels of salivary IgA anti-Candida antibodies when compared with controls (P less than 0.001). Antibody levels were associated with IgA1 subclass in 90% of the patients; in contrast, IgA2 subclass was predominant in 67% of the controls. Antifungal therapy resulted in significantly decreased IgA1 titres (P less than 0.05) whilst the mean IgA2 antibody titre remained unchanged. The results indicate that Candida infection may change the subclass pattern of salivary IgA antibodies.

Clearing agents:
In my experience I CAN NOT get Cranes Platinotype to clear in EDTA. I have no idea why. I use citric acid. HCA may work just as well, but in bulk (2.5kg) citric acid is cheaper.
Also, Jorge said, "anything that dissolves iron" will work. I know as a chemist he meant, "anything that chelates iron" will work.
Obviously some chelating agents must be better than others with certain papers. Hydrochloric acid works well. You can buy it from your local swimming pool store as muriatic acid.

I took time reviewing this recipe. I am a Martini Lover and had alot of different types over the years. At first I wanted to rate this with 1-2 stars... But the more I sat and thought about this there is really only 1 thing I would change, So with the change it is 5 star worthy.. All I did was use a dash of vermouth to a dash to coat the glass. That was it now go enjoy!

Jeff Carter Notches Hat Trick In Preseason Game Against Ducks (Video)
It was the Jeff Carter show Sunday night in the Los Angeles Kings' preseason match against the Anaheim Ducks. Carter scored three of the Kings' four goals to earn himself a hat trick.

text: Greenville's Kenny Trader's love for basketball has never wavered. "I've invested 25 years in basketball. I started when I 9-years old. This is my identity; it's a part of me," says Trader when asked why the game means so much to him. However, back in 2008 after trying out for the LA Lakers,Trader was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is the enlargement of the heart muscles. The rare disease is what Boston Celtic-Reggie Lewis and NCAA scoring champ-Hank Gathers died from while playing. When reflecting on the unexpected, unsettling news he received, Trader says, "Imagine working for something all your life, then told the thing you love so much could kill you. If you have this condition and over exert yourself, you can die. I had to make a tough to decision to stop playing basketball." Betty Trader, Kenny's mom, says the news was devastating, but adds, "I knew he would be OK because of our faith in God." "I was one of those guys who put all his eggs in one basket. It was NBA or bust. But, my faith powered me through. I now have peace and can move on," says Trader.

Door of the day
Dean Sez:
We left Cadereyta Mantes under bright blue skies this morning and headed on the country roads toward San Miguel Allende. We passed through wide agricultural valleys with huge green house operations covering from ten to sixty plus acres all under glass or plastic. We saw a huge Pilgrims Pride chicken or turkey operation. In S M Allende we met a Canadian from Ontario on his way to the tip of South America, and Clive lead us over to meet his friend from Georgia, Art Boone, who moved to Mexico about 6 years ago and said it was the best decision of his whole life. He and his wife Carol had a very pleasant house and courtyard. Across the street Art had a real nice shop built where he rebuilt motorcycles.
Art (artbone on adv) in his shop
Clive from Ontario
After a couple hour visit we left town and stopped at a La Burger, an overpriced trendy place, with nothing to rave about as far as the hamburgers or fries.
We then continued on to the town of Delores Hidalgo, and checked into the Anber Hotel where Charlie, the doctors, and I stayed several years ago. Touring Mexican Colonial Cities 2010
Not too many miles today, but for the most part an enjoyable day.
The route I picked for today was pleasant for the most part, but a bit strange. The road was OK, but in a couple of towns after Zamorano it turned to nasty potholed dirt. At the edge of town the road became paved again and I was able to forestall a mutiny among the dirt challenged contingent. If the people in those towns had voted for the right political party maybe they would have a better road now.
Once we were settled into Dolores Hidalgo we spent some time wandering around town and buying supplies, mostly food, before supper.

Nov 12/13, 2012. day 8/9 Guanajuato
Guanajuato door
Dean Sez:
Yesterday we arrived in Guanajuato. The morning ride to Guanajuato was enjoyable through valleys and up over 8,500 feet in elevation mountain passes. The ride was less than an hour and a half from Delores Hildalgo. Charlie and Betty went to scout the central zone of town for a hotel, a tourist info man helped them locate Hotel mineral de Rayas with underground parking for the bikes. At $41 U.S. a room for two that seemed reasonable as we can walk most any place in the city center. The rest of us relaxed by the Catholic Church with the gold alter till Charlie and Betty came back lead us to the hotel.
Dean relaxing
Our Hotel
Betty and I went downtown to look at some hotels. We managed to end up right in front of one of the hotels we were looking for just as an older gentlemen showed up to see if we needed help finding lodging. We did. He was in some way connected with the local turista bureau and went with us to check the hotel. It turned out there was no secure parking for 8 bikes. All the while we were dealing with a police officer that wanted us to move from the no parking zone. Our friend just blew him off and told us to meet him two blocks away where we looked at a second motel which also couldn't accommodate us. On the third try we ended up at the Hotel Mineral de Rayas. Our friend refused compensation for his service so we thanked him and went to get the group.
Dean again:
The afternoon was spent wandering the city center and finding some food, which abounds with street vendors, side walk cafes, and tiny 4 stool take out places, and the large food court pavilion where every booth is hawking you over to try their fare. It was probably the pork sandwich I bought there…
Dean stopped in mid sentence here. He may at that point have been suffering from an affliction of the intestinal kind. The kind where you are afraid you are going to die, then you are afraid you won't. He took some meds and the problem eventually went away. Dean doesn't complain often, so if he says he's feeling bad, he's REALLY feeling bad.
We basically toured around town for a day and a half.

November 14 Day 10 GTO to Jalpan
No time for dogs or doors today. We are on the road.
We took our leave of GTO early to enjoy the chill as we headed for Dolores Hidalgo again and then on to San Luís de la Paz, Victoria and Santa Catarina. It was cloudy, but the rain held off til later.
In Santa Catarina I took a likely looking road, but it didnt seem right after a bit. Fortunately we came to a scenic intersection where I stopped so the others could admire the scenery.
As they were looking around I got directions from a local and soon we were back on the right road.
The road was pretty nice with entertaining curves, good scenery and little traffic and soon enough we arrived in Peñamiller where we planned to have lunch.
There is probably some really neat place in Peñamiller to eat but we didnt see it. However on the way out going toward Rt. 120 we found a friendly little roadside café.Those who thought they spoke Spanish ordered from the menu, others wandered into the kitchen and pointed at pots and used hand signs. I think some were surprised at what arrived, but everybody ate what was set before them and it was good.
The sanitario was downstairs and those that used it got to see what was left of the chivo being served upstairs.
After lunch one of the neighbors came by and our chief shopper got a deal.
After lunch we got on Rt. 120 again. This is a great road. Unfortunately it rained off and on much of the way to Jalpan.
In Jalpan we stayed here as recommended by Sjoerd B.
Tomorrow we head North.

Nov 15 Day 11 Jalpan to CD Victoria
Google maps showed a road from Arroyo Seca (just north of Jalpan) up to Rayon so we decided to try it. It was a pretty decent but narrow paved road and there was some construction that was sloppy mud. In my mirror I saw Susan about half sideways in that mud, but she saved it. I think others had a similar experience.
We arrived at Hwy. 85 around lunch time and found this high end eatery right at the intersection.
Our neighbors at the hotel recommended a taco stand about a block up the street and the lady in reception said it was safe on the street until at least 10 p.m. so we went.
The food was good and families and couples came and went as we ate. We were included in conversations and generally had a good time.
Tomorrow is our last day in Mexico.

I had the Guia Roji Carretera and state maps and they were useless. We also had a GPS with Bicimapas and one with Cartografia E32. But ... we relied in the country on the old Mexican INEGI topographical maps available online. Country roads don't change much. The INEGI are useless in the urban areas and don't have any of the new toll roads. But we spent all our time in the country. Worked great for dirt roads and secondary roads.
I will pm you some more Canon pics. Don't want to take over your thread.

Last day in Mexico
Our last day in Mexico was here. We just loaded up and headed north the way we came.
The four that went to Pharr did find out how to get to the Pharr crossing without driving through the south part of Reynosa and that was much better than the way we came down on the first day.
Bob decided Susans license plate was too hard for the Border Patrol to read.
I want to thank the group for coming along. Everybody contributed to the success of the trip and there wasnt a pendejo in the lot. Well, maybe one, but hes doing the report so wont be mentioned.
Special thanks go to Dean for driving most of the way home when I was either coming down with something or suffering from post-trip depression. You couldnt find a better guy to travel with.

Ukip accused of "attack on democracy" after Tory-supported motion to reduce number of councillor questions asked at public meetings narrowly agreed
Posted: March 20, 2014|
Ukip councillors have been accused of launching an "attack on democracy" after their call to reduce the number of questions councillors ask at meetings was agreed by the narrowest of margins.
The party called for the way in which members hold council chiefs to account to change in order to cut down on the amount of political grandstanding which it believe gets in the way of the authority's business of actually making decisions.
Ukip received the support of the ruling Conservative administration despite the Liberal Democrat and Labour groups blasting the measure as "anti-democratic".
The motion squeaked through after a tied vote at a meeting of the authority on Wednesday, with the Conservative chairman of the council Tony Hicks using his deciding vote to get it agreed.
At the moment councillors can ask questions of the people in charge of the council – those who sit in the authority's cabinet – and expect an answer in public at a meeting of the council or the cabinet.
They also have the opportunity to ask a supplementary question to the answer they are given.
The Ukip motion will mean questions will only be answered in public if a written question has been submitted by a councillor to the relevant cabinet member and, in the opinion of the councillor, a satisfactory response has not been received within 10 days.
Ukip faced accusations that it had been put up to making the motion by the Tories - an accusation its councillors strenuously denied.
Labour Councillor Steve Lydon (Dursley) said: "To try to restrict the number of questions councillors ask at council meetings is bad news for local democracy.
"It is clear that Tories and Ukip have done a cosy deal. The Tories are clearly afraid of councillors asking questions as I see no other reason why they would have supported this anti-democratic motion."
Councillor Klara Sudbury (LD, Charlton Park and College) added: "This is a fundamental attack on one of the powers that we have as backbenchers. It is absolutely bonkers."
Speaking after the meeting, Colin Guyton, the Ukip councillor who put the motion, said he can "absolutely 100 per cent guarantee" the measure had nothing to do with the Conservatives.
"This is not an attack on democracy," he said. "The intention is to try and improve the way the council works."
The Conservative leader of the council, Mark Hawthorne, welcomed the motion.
"We were not elected to enter in a debating club - we were elected to serve on the behalf of residents," he said.
"There is a need for us to return to the job we were elected to do rather than spending an inordinate amount of time listening to our own voices."
The council's constitution committee will now be tasked with drawing up the exact wording of the change which will then be put before the council for ratification later this year.

moreThe Bengal Delta is the first major environmental history of colonial Bengal, Bangladesh in particular. It suggests that this active deltaic plain was a prosperous and dynamic part of South Asia's economy until far later than most historians imagine. It was a frontier zone facing the Indian Ocean, drawing in capital, labour and intense imperial interest until the turn of the twentieth century. The book argues that rural impoverishment stemmed from environmental changes that developed from the complex relationship between the region's highly fluid ecology, the state, nationalist politics, technology and biological exchanges. In a sweeping reinterpretation of the history of Bengal, the book argues that the most widely debated issues around the region's modern history—agrarian stagnation, communal violence, poverty and famine— can only be understood satisfactorily from an ecological perspective of the dominant discourses of state's coercion and popular resistance, market forces and dependency, or contested cultures and consciousness. less

Single Finest Certified Kagin-20(1837-42) $5 C. Bechtler Five Dollar, 134G, With Star MS63 NGC. K-20, R.4. This is the single finest certified Kagin-20 by either major service, two grades better than its nearest competitors. Although all Bechtler five dollar pieces are scarce, K-20 is the most available variety, and provides an excellent opportunity for the casual or novice collector to acquire a single Bechtler gold coin to recount the history of the gold mining region in the Southeast and associated private and Federal minting operations in North Carolina.
C. Bechtler Five, Select Mint State
C. Bechtler Five, Select Mint State
This charming piece is light yellow with considerable green tendencies on both sides. the fields are entirely prooflike, and the piece has a slightly concave appearance from the obverse. A few planchet rifts suggest that the alloy was imperfectly refined, and they add to its eye appeal today. It appears that the strike was bold, with only a few letters showing any type of weakness. A small reverse rim mark is visible at 11 o'clock. In our discussion, the obverse is the side with 134 G and the star; the reverse is the side with the denomination.
The design of this piece is at once plain and remarkable. There are no special design elements, except perhaps for the star on the obverse. The lettering appears entered in the die with a utilitarian purpose, and with little regard for design aesthetics. For example, both As and the I in CAROLINA are much larger than other letters, towering over their neighbors. The neighboring L appears smaller than any of the other letters. Many engraving irregularities could be pointed out on both sides, especially regarding improper spacing. Listed on page 359 of the 2009 Guide Book. (PCGS# 10097)

*** Update 5/17/2013 - That update was a little too quick and totally wrong... Thanks to Tony Blackburn of QuantumPM for putting me straight. The rollup package was released and is available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2737990. The note below should have been targeted at the April 2013 MSO updates and not SharePoint Server. Sorry for the false alarm and confusion everyone! ***
Quick update – I mentioned in the original April CU release e-mail - http://blogs.technet.com/b/projectsupport/archive/2013/04/11/microsoft-project-server-2007-2010-and-2013-april-2013-cu-announcement.aspx that there was a delay in the rollup package for Project Server 2013 which includes the Sharepoint Server fixes – and delay got to a point where the decision was taken to NOT release the SharePoint package for April (and therefore also not release a rollup) but hold off for the June 2013 Cumulative Update. If you are waiting for a Project Server fix then no problem – we already released the April CU just for Project Server – 2760261, but if you want the rollup then you should wait until June. If you are waiting for a specific SharePoint fix that was due in April then I suggest you talk with your SharePoint support contact about getting these earlier than June.
Hi Brian,
can you comment on the status of the publically available CU April 2013 that is still around?
Is that simply missing some SharePoint related fixed or did some regression bugs occur? I'm curious because this so-called CU sit still available as download.
Link: support.microsoft.com/.../2737990
Kind regards,
Sorry Adrian - nothing wrong with the CU - just something wrong with my brain when I wrote the original posting. I need a hotfix ;). Sorry for the confusion.
When I tried to download this CU today, getting blank page.
Nice information!
Thanks for sharing!
Martin from <a href="www.grobmanschwarz.de/project "> MS Project Server </a>
Thanks Brian,
There is a prerequisite to this CU Rollup Package which is MARCH 2013 PU.
Can you please clarify if the following is correct:
Install MARCH 2013 PU
***Do not run PS-Config (as this will fail)***
Run PS-Config

Helpful Hints
Posted: August 18, 2014 at 2:18 a.m.
DEAR READERS: Here is this week's Sound Off, about public restrooms:
"As the graphic artist at your hometown newspaper, I get to read your column before anyone else in town. Here's a suggestion for your Monday Sound Off column: Why are public toilet stalls so narrow? Why do the merchants insist on putting the dispensing part of the toilet-paper dispenser below your knees, usually with a serrated edge? And why can't the auto-flush wait until the stall door opens to flush?
-- Henry in San Antonio
Henry, nice to hear from you, and gee, you get to read the column first! This is a "hot" topic! Many public restrooms are not user-friendly, but they do serve a purpose, and they are free. Who knows why the TP holder is usually situated so low? If someone can tell me why, I'd love to hear and pass along the reason.
DEAR READERS: Household items that can be recycled into planters:
• Chipped or broken mugs and bowls.
• Old ice chests that leak.
• A broken wheelbarrow.
• Old tires spray-painted green.
• Metal cans, cleaned and painted.
DEAR HELOISE: While out the other night, my kids spilled some soda on themselves. How can I remove the stain?
-- Mom in Massachusetts
DEAR READER: These things do happen! Since the clothes are washable, when you get home (next time!), dab with white household vinegar, then rinse. Repeat if necessary. If the stain still shows, use liquid laundry detergent and rub it into the area, then wash as usual. When out, rinse with cool water as soon as possible to help keep it from setting. Stains can be tough to get out. Got a fruit-juice stain? Rinse in cold water immediately. If you still have a stain, rub liquid laundry detergent into the area, let sit a few minutes and wash in warm water.
DEAR HELOISE: We have lots of cottonwood trees, and the cotton gets stuck in the air-conditioner condenser unit. It can block airflow and cause the AC to stop cooling. We put mosquito netting around the unit, using clothespins. It's easy to hose down when the cotton collects on the outside.
-- Pam S., Omaha, Neb.
DEAR READER: Great hint! Just be sure that the netting does not get clogged up -- you don't want to burn out the AC motor! You also can use "shade cloth," which has bigger holes for air movement.
DEAR HELOISE: I hate the splatter when using my handheld electric mixer. Before mixing, I punch two holes in a paper plate and slide the beaters through. I attach it to the mixer, and it keeps the mess inside.
-- N.M. in Texas
Send a money- or time-saving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, Texas 78279-5000; fax to (210) 435-6473; or email

FAMILY FUN at its FINEST!
Such a super fun app! My kids just laugh and laugh (mostly at me trying to guess *lol*) and we have had a blast with it! It helps them with words and images and it has created a lot of fun and mixed things up for our after-dinner game time! Great app highly recommend!
Really creative
Wordplay is a wonderfully creative game. It shows photos of words made out of unusual materials, and the combination of the word and the material makes a new word or phrase. The images are really fun, and appropriate for all ages.
Fun game!
It is a wonderful game, and is a great idea for an app. It is mind challenging, and perfect for kids. Very well designed. I hope this comes out on the iPhone soon.

We received this application from a 17-year-old in Illinois to join our youth council.
In my 17 years of living, I believe I have gone through more things than any teen should have to. In the past few months, everyday I would wake up with an unimaginable weight on my shoulders. I would dredge through school with teachers, friends, and parents not understanding how I feel, what I'm thinking, and how hard it is for me not to end it all. I felt like no one knew what it was like to be on anti-depressants and still feel incredibly low. The only thing that stopped me from ending it all was this miracle of a website called, us.reachout.com. While googling ways to commit suicide I stumbled upon this website. After many hours of watching videos, reading testimonials, and doing some simple reflection, I came to the glorious conclusion to push on, and make it through. In the following months, I told my parents, started going to counseling, consulted my doctor, and started to change my personality and outlook on life. I feel like I am more than prepared and ready to take on any challenge that the committee can give me and would be honored to serve on the Reach Out Youth Council.
With your help, we are planning to bring on 8 new Council members from across the U.S. like this young man, fly our entire council (which will be 15) to San Francisco to meet each other and participate in training sessions designed to give them the skills they need to help us promote Reach Out to their peers. Thanks again for your ongoing support!

We only stayed here one night, but the rooms were very clean and nicely decorated. The hotel is located in an upscale neighborhood right next to University of Nairobi and you're fine to walk or jog down the street (which is not true for most other parts of Nairobi). It's not one of the luxury hotels, but something I would recommend if you're on a budget, but want safe and clean.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Nairobi is the capital and largest city of Kenya. The city and its surrounding area also form the Nairobi Province. The name "Nairobi" comes from the Maasai phrase Enkare Nyirobi, which translates to "the place of cool waters." However, it is popularly known as the "Green City in theSun." Location: Sentrim Boulevard is located at the end of Nairobi's Harry Thuku Road, an oasis of peace and quite with beautiful manicured gardens and lawns. There are 70 rooms in 2 stories. The main guest area consists of the reception, lounge area, Restaurant and bar. The Mezzanine floor has the conference facilities. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Travelocity, Booking.com, Cheap Tickets, Hotels.com, Orbitz, Odigeo, TripOnline SA and HotelTravel.com so you can book your Sentrim Nairobi Boulevard Hotel reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

Figure out what you want to do, then do it. I am a bit of a dreamer and live life to fulfill those dreams
Hey my name is Mark and would be described as a laid back person who enjoys the outdoors. I enjoy hanging out with people, but am much more comfortable in small groups as apposed to large social settings. I would rather be in the woods than in the city most of the time but do enjoy a good night out on the town. I grew up near Houston, and moved to Ohio a few years ago to be closer to my family. Growing up in Texas was great, but there really isn't any scenery besides concrete. I just finished my bachelors degree in business, and now in school for my MBA. I just got back from hiking a 600 mile section of the AT the beginning of June so now I busy running my travel agency. In addition to the travel agency I am looking for another job possibly in medical sales. I am goal oriented but also realized that I do not need much to be happy. One aspect of my life that is lacking at the moment is the relationship hence why I am on match. I would like to meet someone and become friends then if everything goes well possibly more. If you would like to talk and to get to know me better please feel free to message me.

text: GamesBeat Arkham City's Game of the Year box art is slightly less horrible in the UK (images) May 21, 2012 8:41 PM Evan Killham 0 Gaming is in its golden age, and big and small players alike are maneuvering like kings and queens in A Game of Thrones. Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. The European box art for the Game of the Year edition of last year's blockbuster Batman: Arkham City won't be as bad as the North American version when it comes out for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next fall, according to Reddit user Another4everAloneGuy. The original cover (below, left) received criticism for its shotgun blast of accolades cluttering the art, including a huge splash of the "10 out of 10″ rating from GameInformer that was featured more prominently than the title of the game, which is tucked unobtrusively off to the side just above the oversized blurb about the bonus content. The image I retrieved from Reddit (below, right) is much cleaner. Not only is the GameInformer score gone, but the title is larger and moved up to a more prominent space. A picture of Arkham City's upcoming downloadable content's villain, Harley Quinn, also replaces most of the fine print in the first version's "Bonus Content" space. The Reddit cover features three accolades instead of the original's four, and they're all smaller than the part where it says, "Batman: Arkham City," which is as it should be. Arkham City is not the first Batman game to get this kind of attention. The Game of the Year edition of Arkham Asylum, the preceding title in the series, also caught some flack for its Game of the Year box art (right, below), which had The Dark Knight fighting for space with giant chunky blocks advertising the new 3D functionality and extra content. The designers made him bigger to try to balance it out, but…yeah, that didn't help so much. Unfortunately, it looks like North American Batfans will still be stuck with the messy text-fest we've already seen when the Arkham City Special Edition comes out on Tuesday.

Certified welding inspectors work in various industries related to construction. Furthermore, certified welding inspectors' daily duties are filled with numerous responsibilities that are essential in maintaining the safety standards of in the construction industry. Certified welding inspectors ensure that all related construction activities follow specific guidelines, in accordance with city, state, and federal safety regulations. They also inspect plans, verify inspection and welding calibrations, and make sure that all welding materials are in proper condition for future projects. Additionally, welding inspectors inspect all welding equipment, such as regulators, cables, and welding machines.Read More...
During the construction phase, welding inspectors are responsible for monitoring heating values, ensuring the proper temperature controls are being used, and verifying that individuals maintain all compliance issues. In order to become a certified welding inspector, a high school diploma is required, but a relevant technical schooling or a bachelor's degree in engineering, architecture, or a similar field is preferred. Furthermore, there is a certification exam that requires at least three years of completed work experience. The exam is constructed to test individuals on practical applications, welding code applications, and welding fundamentals. Certification usually lasts for three years, but it possible to take additional exams to prolong certification for up to nine years.
Certified Welding Inspectors report a narrow range of specific skills. Those who have experience with NDT, Quality Assurance / Quality Control, and Welding can expect to be compensated well for these skills. Skills that pay less than market rate include Welding. Aptitude in Quality Assurance / Quality Control tends to also indicate an understanding of Welding.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Certified Welding Inspectors — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience make $54K, but folks with five to 10 years under their belts enjoy an appreciably larger median of $61K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $65K. As Certified Welding Inspectors reach more than two decades on the job, compensation remains commensurate with experience; the average pay in this group is $70K.
For those looking to make money, Certified Welding Inspectors in Houma enjoy an exceptional pay rate, 52 percent above the national average. Certified Welding Inspectors can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Los Angeles (+37 percent), Pittsburgh (+37 percent), New York (+25 percent), and Houston (+18 percent). Those in the field find the lowest salaries in Birmingham, 14 percent below the national average.

text: Well, in my quest to increase power to my Electrec bike, I bought the Powerpack motor and controller. My intent was to use a separate 36V battery set up. I got everything assembled, motor + controller and was in the process of connecting my 36v battery pack (I just took off my Wilderness Kit set up). Well when I connected the SAE connector from the controller to the battery, it went boom with a big spark. It fried the connectors. I know the battery connections were correct because I just got the pack off my other bike. Could it be it was a faulty controller? Or what stupid thing might I have done wrong?

I should be so lucky
Writing something about myself is easy , no doubt. Cause the truth is what I'm all about. Nothing is every gain by telling a lie. Cause you only have to tell more as time goes bye. First, I'm not the perfect man. There are things about relantionships I don't understand. But I'm willing to give it my heart. Cause that is where all good things start. I'm not without fault. But I will stick to the good things I was taught. I'm just a laid back country dude. Always taught to be nice but never rude. I like my life at a slow pace. I have no crazy ex up in my face. I have no kids, but respect those that do. Its an experience that I've never knew. 60's 70's 80s music is how I get my grove. Any song with a good beat can make me move. But I'm no dancer, no not at all. We can sing along with the radio and have a ball. I say this with no shame. My fall Saturdays belong to Notre Dame. I like a woman who doesn't fuss. And a sense of humor is a must. One who likes the little things. And like to be treated like a queen. One who can adust to anything on a fly. And treat me like your special guy. Oh yeah one last thing. I woman with a wonderful smile can make my heart sing. If you feel like this can be you. We can rock down to Electric Avenue.
