CSS gives Web designers control over the appearance of their web sites by separating the visual presentation from the content. It lets them easily make minor changes to a site or perform a complete overhaul of the design. In CSS Web Site Design, instructor and leading industry expert Eric Meyer reviews the essentials of CSS, including selectors, the cascade, and inheritance. The training also covers how to build effective navigation, how to lay out pages, and how to work with typography, colors, backgrounds, and white space. Using a project-based approach, Eric walks through the process of creating a Web page, while teaching the essentials of CSS along the way. By the end of the training, viewers will have the tools to master professional site design. Exercise files accompany the training videos.
In this movie, we're just going to quickly look at how you would associate a user style sheet with your web browser so that it would be applied to any page you might visit. So here we have a copy of Javaco tea design. This is Safari. Every browser is a little different and actually Firefox makes this, and Mozilla makes this really difficult, but Safari makes it pretty easy and in Windows Internet Explorer you can do it pretty easily too. Here in Safari you call up the preferences and there are these various options, but under advanced there's style sheet, and you can pick other, to be able to browse the hard drive and you go and find a file like ex0311.css, choose that, and you'll notice that the page just changed. That's because the user style sheet has been applied.
The contants of that user style sheet, you can actually see right here, what I'm saying is make all elements have a black foreground and white background, except for a elements, which we underlined and have a weight foreground and a black background and I've made all these importants as discussed in an earlier videos because I absolutely want these to apply. These are important to me as the user, I really want them to happen, so they are important to me so I marked them as being important, and here's the situation. This is what the page looks like and if we were to go to a different site and you say whatsoever, we'll pick lynda.com, again, there we go.
All the background images pretty much are switched off and all background color for that matter and links are being presented in the reverse text so anyone can do this just, you know, for a bit of a giggle to wonder around the Internet and see what sites look like with your own user style sheet applied but this again would be important for me or for anyone who is fully colorblind and needs to be able to distinguish links from the rest of the text, or who has some other form of a disability that they, that they need to overcome and if we direct a nonselected then, everything just goes back to normal.
Under Windows, in your preferences, what you need to look for is under General, the general preferences tab, there's an Accessibility button that you can add and in there, there's a place to browse your hard drive for a user style sheet, other then that difference basically, the effects are the same, it's just a difference in how you navigate your way through the preferences in Internet Explorer as opposed to Safari.
There are currently no FAQs about CSS Web Site Design.

Enter to win this gorgeous planet-friendly guitar made from ethically harvested trees
PRS Guitars has announced its new Brent Mason signature model guitar. Mason, a Nashville session pro, worked with Paul Reed Smith for several years to arrive at this unique model that meets the need for a versatile and reliable, recording and gigging instrument.
PRS Guitars has brought the SC245 guitar back into its current lineup. The SC245 is a vintage-inspired singlecut perfect for more traditional single-cutaway players.
Neal Schon of Journey is joining the PRS family of artists with two distinct signature models: the NS-14 and NS-15. Schon was intimately involved in the design of nearly every aspect of these instruments, from the stylized f-holes to the hardware details.
Guitar World magazine has debuted a special digital issue dedicated entirely to Paul Reed Smith Guitars. The issue is available now at iTunes. To get it on your IPhone or iPad, use the "Store" feature on your Newsstand app and search for Guitar World.
Last week, I attended PRS Guitars' sixth annual open-house event known as Experience PRS. If you're a fan of PRS Guitars or just guitars in general, this free event at the Stevensville, Maryland, factory is a must-see. It truly is meant to be "experienced." One item that struck me is the SE Custom 24 7-String, which happens to be PRS Guitars' first 7-string production instrument in their SE series of guitars.
PRS has introduced a new signature model, the SE Clint Lowery guitar. Lowery, best known as the lead guitarist for Sevendust, also served as Korn's touring guitarist in 2007.
Guitarist Nick Catanese — or the "Evil Twin" as he is known to the legions of Black Label Society fans — has been a member of the band for 16 years now. What started as a side project of sorts for Zakk Wylde has grown into an extremely successful machine. Catanese has the task of keeping up with Wylde's guitar pyrotechnics night in and night out on stage.
Originally offered as a limited run for Experience PRS 2011, the "Stripped" 58 is now available as part of Paul Reed Smith Guitars' Core lineup.
Earlier this week, Paul Reed Smith Guitars began taking orders for first-ever left-handed model of their flagship guitar, the Custom 24.
In 1985 Paul Reed Smith officially opened PRS Guitars offering a limited number of guitar models. Throughout the years, these instruments gradually changed the walls of guitar shops with their figured maple tops and eye-catching stains.

Go figure. I can't. You try. The Ole Miss Rebels are 5-0 this crazy basketball season when they commit 14 or more turnovers.
They are a so-so 8-7 when they commit 13 or fewer. So much for taking care of the rock, right?
The Rebels were careless enough to turn it over 18 times against LSU here Saturday. So naturally, the Rebels trounced the Tigers 78-51 for their first SEC victory after four straight defeats. ...

Man arrested after stabbing in Ventura
An 18-year-old man was stabbed early Wednesday during a fight at a party in Ventura and a suspect was arrested, police said.
The stabbing occurred shortly before 2 a.m. at a residence in the 6600 block of Ralston Street.
Luke McRedmond, 18, of Ventura was attending a party when he got into a fight with one of the residents, Ryan Hannon, 24, of Ventura, police said.
McRedmond and Hannon were fighting in the front yard of the home when Hannon allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the younger man in the arm, police said.
McRedmond went into the house for help, and several other residents of the home confronted Hannon. Roommates and guests detained the suspect until officers arrived, police said.
When police arrived, they found McRedmond lying on the floor of the home's living room with a knife stuck in his forearm, officials said. He was taken to Ventura County Medical Center for treatment.
The wound was not life threatening. McRedmond was listed in stable condition Wednesday, police said.
Hannon was treated at Ventura County Medical Center for minor injuries he suffered during the fight, then booked into Ventura County Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, police said.
He was being held Wednesday in lieu of $25,000 bail.

When we talk about delay as an effect, it isn't just a matter of delaying a signal. The delayed signal is added to the original, normally at a lower level. So you get the original signal followed by a quieter echo, a fraction of a second later.
But you don't have to use it. Why not just keep the vocal nice and clean, as it was recorded?
There are three reasons to use a delay...
Using delay to imitate the 'slapback' sound of the 1950s is probably a little too straightforward to require explanation. Wanting a vocal to sound richer is commonplace. The best solution for a richer vocal is a richer-sounding singer, but too often we don't have that option. A subtle delay will warm and enhance the vocal, hopefully without sounding too obvious.
A richer vocal sound might also be useful in helping the vocal blend with the track. If you find that the vocal seems to sit on top of the track, then a delay at a low level might work wonders. Worth a try.
If the vocal needs to be more interesting, then a delay might just do that. But you don't always need the delay to go the whole way through the track. You might just switch it in every now and then. In the 1980s it was quite common to switch in the delay only at the ends of certain lines. (Hint - switch the send, not the return.)
There's a lot more to delay than this, but knowing when to use it is a start.
Earlier discussion on this topic...
Delay is much better than reverb in most cases. Reverb can sometimes turn a mix into a total mess. Delay adds an attractive ambience without the 'reflective complexity'.
I'd say the best music to listen to for interesting use of delay (and other vocal effects) is probably trance.
By the way, if you've got Logic 9 the Delay Designer is a superb tool.

just to be certain, elvis' early vocals were a crude tape delay ...one slap...whatever the distance between the record and playback head was. maybe...70-100 ms in modern terminology. echo "repeats" arrived with the ecofonic and echoplex later. my keyboard player has an ecofonic...very very groovy piece of musical history i keep trying to talk him out of.
Monday April 18, 2011
Just to be certain...were Elvis' delay settings set at a very short rate (or ms) with medium amounts of feedback?

The NBA is the best. Not only are they announcing which players are warned under their new flopping regulations, but they're even posting videos of the violations. Minnesota Timberwolves guard J.J. Barea and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donald Sloan were the first players caught for overreactions to physical play. Barea was warned for flopping with ten minutes remaining in Friday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings. Sloan got his warning for falling to the ground despite little contact with six minutes remaining against the Chicago Bulls on Friday. A first violation receives a warning, while fines for the second through fifth occurrences range from $5,000 to $30,000. Perhaps players will stop their Academy Award winning dives when their bank account is suddenly thirty grand short. Watch Barea and Sloan's rule breaking acting in the videos below.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
This game for it's time was ground breaking. I remember it made pinnochio references right off the get go. The piano riddle always got to me, and it was hilarious to see your character dress like a woman.
I have very fond memories of this game, even if I don't remember much about it now. I stand by my four stars just for how I feel when I hear the title.

I love chivalry!
What am I like? I am a laid back person. Sort of quiet at first, but once I warm up, full of fun; full of life. I really enjoy the company of other people, so I like to be around my family and friends. I am looking for my mate to be confident and ambitious in life. A sense of humor and the ability to take a moment and laugh at the small things in life are very important to me; even if it means laughing at yourself. A great first date for me is something that involves action; cooking classes, miniature golf, just us doing something fun.

The U.S. Justice Department announced last week that a long-running antitrust investigation against the three largest card brands has ended in a settlement with two of the three and litigation against the third.
Consumer and retail groups are praising the U.S. Department of Justice's actions against major credit card brands, but analysts are split about whether the moves will result in real lower prices for consumers.
WASHINGTON -- For credit unions, the upcoming House-Senate conference committee on the financial regulatory overhaul is coming down largely to interchange fee regulation.
One sign that the economy might be recovering is the number of businesses that are consistently meeting their obligations in a more timely fashion, according to Experian.

Mike Ribeiro scored 9:24 into overtime, and the Washington Capitals beat the New York Rangers 2-1 Friday night to regain the momentum - and the lead - in their first-round playoff series. Ribeiro put in the puck after Troy Brouwer deflected a shot from the blue line. The Capitals lead the series 3-2. Game 6 is Sunday in New York. The home team has won every game in the series, with Washington taking the first two and New York pulling even in Games 3 and 4. The Capitals have been fighting history along the way: The franchise has lost eight playoff series in which it has held a two-game lead. Brian Boyle scored for New York in the first minute. Joel Ward tied it in the second period.

Courtesy: Kansas City Royals KANSAS CITY, Mo The Kansas City Royals announced today that the club has acquired minor league right-handed pitcher Luis Santos and left-hander Luis Rico from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for right-handed pitcher Vin Mazzaro and first baseman Clint Robinson. Santos and Rico have been assigned to the Surprise Royals. The 21-year-old Santos pitched for both Dominican Pirates clubs last season, combining for a 6-3 record and a 2.44 ERA in 14 games, including 12 starts.

Reading send Liverpool crashing out of FA Cup
(adds Liverpool game)
LONDON, Jan 13 - Reading sent Liverpool crashing out of the FA Cup when they came from behind for a 2-1 win after extra time in their third-round replay at Anfield on Wednesday.
The Championship (second division) strugglers were losing 1-0 with 30 seconds remaining before equalising with a penalty from Gylfi Sigurdsson four minutes into stoppage time.
Shane Long glanced home Reading's winner in the 10th minute of extra time to give them a stunning victory and a fourth-round tie at Burnley.
Liverpool had taken the lead in stoippage time at the end of the first half when Ryan Bertrand deflected a Steven Gerrard cross into his own net.
In the night's other replay, Newcastle United beat Plymouth ARgfyle 3-0 at St James' Park with a hat-trick from Danish striker Peter Lovenkrands to set up a fourth round tie against West Bromwich Albion.

For students, these interactive learning programs will include; virtual experiments, animated simulations and instantly marked assessments, all designed to motivate students to explore the world of science.
In the present economic climate it must be good news that this dynamic learning material is available to Texas students at a fraction of the cost of traditional textbooks.
One of the systems adopted has been created by Texas entrepreneur, Tim Brown.
Tim, the President of Technical Laboratory Systems, has funded a partnership between his Texas-based team and a world leading company in the design of e-learning materials, to produce learning programs for all eight grade levels that are totally compliant with the new science TEKS*.
It is Tim's opinion that this new TEA initiative creates a real possibility that more Texas students will succeed in school science and then choose to follow careers in science, technology or engineering.
Tim says;
"As a provider of technical education equipment to Texas schools and colleges for more than thirty years, I have been saddened to see the decline in the number of quality students opting for careers in technology and engineering. Middle and High School science is the bedrock for college studies in science, technology and engineering. Science teachers, who do their utmost to motivate students, will find that difficult task so much easier with this software. It was a logical step for me to invest in new technology to improve the prospects of our young students. Here in Texas we have world leading companies in all the technological areas, if we cannot provide them with the skilled and innovative workforce that they require, they will be forced to go elsewhere."
Academics have lobbied hard for our policymakers to address the state's declining SAT scores and maybe their message is being heard. Perhaps this new initiative by the TEA will go some way to ease the concerns of many in Texas, that the present financial constraints will damage the prospects for our schoolchildren.
* Technical Laboratory Systems are sole suppliers of SciTEX Learning programs.

Singer-songwriter Kimya Dawson and rapper Aesop Rock blended countercultures as the Uncluded at the Firebird.
The Uncluded's bizarre blend of genres stuffed the Firebird with an eccentric mix of fans that seemed to leave no one out.
Milo Greene performed hits off its 2012 self-titled release to an intimate crowd at the Firebird last night.
The backdrop pinned onstage consisted of a nude Josh Tillman standing in a golden arch encapsulated by a rainbow, in space. And that is Father John Misty: Irreverent, free-spirited and probably, while not on stage, hanging out in his birthday suit.
With the show sold-out before the start of the night, anticipation was high for concertgoers at the Firebird on Friday night to see Pure Bathing Culture and Father John Misty.
A sweaty, sold-out crowd packed the Firebird to witness the long-awaited return of joke-punk pioneers the Dead Milkmen.
Providing St. Louis with it's weekly dose of rock 'n' roll, the Detroit Cobras, Pangea and Tok took the stage of the Firebird last night.
The Firebird packed a powerful slate of five acts into one show last night: The Hush Sound, Hockey, River City Extension, Genevieve Schatz (of Company of Thieves) and Lucas Carpenter
"Party! Party!" Those were the last two words I heard before my glasses got pulled off, someone hit me in the ribcage, and I fell to the floor screaming in fear, as the crowd pushed toward the stage, taking me with them.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, October 26, 12 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Kinnick Stadium (70,585) -- Iowa City, Iowa. Television: Big Ten Network. Home Record: NU 3-2, Iowa 2-2. Away Record: NU 1-1, Iowa 2-1. Neutral Record: NU 0-0, Iowa 0-0. Conference Record: NU 0-3, Iowa 1-2. Series: Iowa leads, 47-24-3.
GAME NOTES: A couple of struggling Big Ten Legends Division teams will square off at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday afternoon, as the Iowa Hawkeyes host the Wildcats of Northwestern.
Northwestern got off to a 4-0 start but has since lost three in a row to erase that early-season momentum. All three losses came against conference foes, including last Saturday's 20-17 home loss to Minnesota. The schedule does not get any easier in the coming weeks, as the Wildcats must next deal with Nebraska, Michigan and Michigan State.
Iowa enters this tilt hoping to avoid a third straight defeat. The Hawkeyes were also in action this past weekend at fourth-ranked Ohio State and came away with a hard-fought 34-24 loss. Their three losses this season have come against teams with a combined record of 20-1.
Iowa leads the head-to-head series, 47-24-3. NU claimed a 28-17 victory over the Hawkeyes almost a year ago to the date in Evanston. The Wildcats ran for 349 yards in that game and controlled the time of possession.
Northwestern tops the Big Ten in red zone efficiency, having scored points on 28 of 29 trips inside the 20 (17 touchdowns and 11 field goals). But where the Wildcats have really struggled is protecting the quarterback, as they have allowed 22 sacks on the season, the highest total in the conference. In last week's loss to Minnesota, Trevor Siemian faced a steady diet of pressure and was sacked three times. He completed 25-of-46 passes for 234 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Siemian was starting in place Kain Colter, while running back Venric Mark, who averaged 105 yards per game on the ground last season, was also sidelined. Both players are dealing with ankle injuries -- Colter is considered probable to suit up, although Mark is doubtful for this weekend's contest.
It's tough to pin last week's loss on the Wildcat defense. After all, they held Minnesota below 300 yards of total offense and forced the Golden Gophers to kick a field goal on their only trip inside the red zone. They also limited the Gophers to 3.6 yards per carry as a team and a 4-of-13 success rate on third down. Nick VanHoose led the way with 11 tackles to go along with a forced fumble and a pass breakup, while Damien Proby notched 10 tackles. However, the Wildcats were unable to generate any takeaways, which made things difficult with the offense struggling. In fact, it was the first time in a span of 11 games the NU defense failed to record an interception. Still, the Wildcats lead the Big Ten with 17 takeaways on the season.
The Hawkeyes jumped out to an early lead against Ohio State, but they were outscored 24-7 in the second half to fall short in their upset bid. Still, it was a rather impressive showing for an offense that was not given much of a chance by prognosticators heading into the game against the Buckeyes' fierce defense. Jake Rudock threw for 245 yards and three touchdowns, and Jake Duzey collected six catches for 138 yards and a score. On the ground, Iowa averaged 4.8 yards per carry as a team. The Hawkeyes converted 8-of-13 third downs and scored on all three of their trips into the red zone (two TDs, one FG). The offense continued to do the things it has done well all season long; protect the QB and convert third downs. The Hawkeyes have allowed only five sacks this season, the seventh-best total in the country. They are also among the national leaders in third-down conversions (50 percent, 14th).
Defensively, the Hawkeyes have been tough to run against, as they have held every opponent this season below their rushing average. In fact, they have allowed only two rushing TDs all season, which is tied with Alabama and Florida State for the fewest in the nation. Both of those rushing scores came last week against the Buckeyes, as they had not allowed a touchdown on the ground all season up to that game. Additionally, the Iowa defense has allowed only four red-zone TDs, the lowest total in the country. The unit ranks third in the conference in scoring defense, total defense, and pass defense. True freshman cornerback Desmond King has collected 23 tackles over the last two games.
Both of these teams can argue that they are better than their records would show. However, the only way to settle that is out on the field. Give a slight edge to the Hawkeyes, who are playing at home against a banged up Northwestern squad.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Iowa 34, Northwestern 24

Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.
Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle--and people in general--has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic.
To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence--creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.
Comedy writer Maria Semple's latest, Where'd You Go, Bernadette, follows 15-year-old Bee as she tracks down her mother, Bernadette, who disappeared on the eve of a family trip to Antarctica. Bernadette is an epistolary novel that paints an acidly funny portrait of life in Seattle. More at NPR.org

Exceptional 1926-S Quarter1926-S 25C MS65 Full Head NGC. Predominantly untoned, although the obverse margin displays indications of golden-brown, and the reverse displays a few minute russet freckles. Lustrous and pleasing with a nearly pristine obverse and only minor field grazes on the reverse. The strike is intricate aside from the unavoidable incompleteness on the usual trio of shield rivets. The 1926-S started as a lower-mintage issue with just 2.7 million pieces produced. Apparently, most were inadequately struck, because the vast majority of coins that survive in Uncirculated grades do not qualify for a Full Head designation at the major grading services.

Death Valley invasion 2013
Febuary 2013, a great time to be in Death Valley California. Especially if you live in Michigan and your covered in snow. My name is Todd and eight of my friends decided to go have an adventure in the desert. Our journey begins in the suburbs of Detroit.
Since it is snowy and too cold to ride, I mount my KTM to the hitch hauler and make my way to Andy's garage.
We are assembling our bikes in our friend Andy's garage. Andy and my other good friend Btome have raced the Baja and their racing efforts have resulted in Andy aquiring what we like to call the booby trailer. This is the rig that will deliver our five bikes in Detroit and 3 more in the Chicago area to Death Valley. We will be going to Tecopa Springs where Traveltoad will meet us to begin the adventure.
Here we load the bikes into the booby trailer.
Andy rides a KTM 660 that was ridden by Charlie Russo in Dakar. His bike sounds like pure evil when he cracks the throttle. My KTM 640 is beside his.
Here is Btome's KTM 950 and Joe's Dog's Suzuki DR.
Here is the chase truck that tows the booby trailer.
We are all very fortunate that Andy lets us use his rig to tow eight bikes across the country. We will be flying to Las Vegas to meet our bikes the following week.
Once the bikes are loaded the truck heads west to pick up Bigtraillie's Honda XR650 in Jackson Michigan, and Radak, Mark, and Peter's bikes in Chicago. Radak rides Jonah Street's old Yamaha 450 rallye bike the Jonah rode in the Dakar. Mark rides a KTM 640, and Peter rides a KTM LC4.
It takes two and a half days for Mark to pull the rig across the country. We fly to Vegas and meet Trailtoad and Mark in Tacopa Springs.
Here is some of our crew.
We are excited to get the bikes out of the trailer after arriving late the night before.
Tacopa Springs like most Death Valley towns is only around because they have water.
Bigtraillie aka Matt with his XR. Do you wonder why it is called the booby trailer?
He is the only guy with a kick start only bike. We bust his chops constantly that he needs a KTM.
We all have big gas tanks except Joe and Matt.
Silly Honda. Kick,kick,kick.....
Bruno looks excited to start the trip.
Did I mention Matt and Joe's small gas tanks? They used these little bottles to store more gas.
We leave the truck and trailer to eat breakfast at the Crowbar.
We love to eat.
There is a museum next to the Crowbar.
Lots of desert stuff.
Once finished with breakfast we go back to the truck and wait for Traveltoad who is riding his KTM 950 from LA. Here is the spring at Tacopa.
Not much but water is water.
Here is Mark's 640 next to mine.
Aaron arrives on his 950.
Bruno fixes a leaky fuel line.
I can't stop taking pictures of my bike. I love it. This is the first time that I will be riding in the desert where this bike was ment to be.

We head out to ride.
The desert is huge and we follow Bruno and Aaron to the dirt road.
Mark on his 640.
I traveled with a Cannon camera around my neck. It was the best way to make sure I would take pictures. It is easy to do when riding on pavement but not on dirt.
We finally hit dirt.
Here is Peter. He is an Eastern European drinking champion.
Mark is Czechosliovakian runner up in the drinking olympics.
We are finally going to eat dust. Lots and lots of dust.
Back on pavement.
We are going to the steps once we turn off this road.
We stop to fill up first.
This town was 110 feet below sea level. It was really warm at the lower elevations. Probably 60 degrees F out at this time during our ride.
Gas is not cheap in the desert. Californians pay too much for it. $2 more a gallon than in Michigan.
I think this is Echo Canyon we are about to ride through.
We reach the steps. Not so bad since a rain strorm covered them up with rocks and gravel, but a challenge all the same.
Andy goes first. Then Mark and Bruno.
Bruno gives it a try. Not so easy on a 500 pound KTM 950.
Three bikes up and safe.
Here is Aaron making fun of Bruno's small bike.
Andy's 660 got a scratch.
Matt on his Honda.
A three hundred pound guy on a 299 pound bike.
Some Jeep guys join the show to watch the carnage.
Joe makes it up.
I think the Jeep guys thought we were crazy.
It is much easier to go adventuring with help from your friends.
Peter with the LC4.

We continue through the canyon. *Sorry I don't remember the name of this trail but it was super.
We make it through the canyon and get to dunes. *It is Thursday afternoon and we have the place to our selves.
I have owned this bike for 10 odd years and have waited so long to take my 640 on real desert sand dunes. *It was like riding a snow mobile. *We have tons of sand in Michigan but it is usually bordered by trees so you have to ride carefully. *They dunes make sand riding easy. *Sit back on the bike hit third gear and keep,your speed. *So fun.
A bunch of kids in a sand box.
Aaron insisted we stop at this place for a beer and a chat with a lady friend of his.
We headed to Beatty and on to Panamint Springs where we would stay for two nights and do loops into the desert.
Here is the resturant after a hard days ride. *Do you like $20 cheeze burgers? *This place ran it's power via generator. *No phones, no TV, no Cell coverage. *Just hippies, photographers and dirt bikers. *And $7/gallon gas.
But the beer was cold, the food was good, and the Czech's were getting drunk and crazy! *We had a blast.
Panamint Springs.
Ready to gas up and ride to Scotty's Castle.
We head out and stop on this high plain. *It is 3000 ish feet above sea level and is cold.
We are waiting for Andy to finish a conference call that he had on his Sat phone. *Business never stops.
Joshua Trees
Our gang.
The desert is huge.
We are trying to get to Saline Warm Springs. *Here is an old Cat track that someone uses to grade the road.
While riding through this section Mark hits this rock with his front tire. *He crashes and dent the crap out of his front rim. *Here is the evil rock. *Like an iceberg sticking out of the sea. *It was not moving for anyone.
Mark had a Pelican box on the back of his KTM. *It flew off the bike and we could not find it. *If your in the area try to find it. *It has a treasure trove of KTM tools, tubes and bike stuff in it and was black.
Somewhere in those reeds is a box of KTM goodies. *Where did it go?
Can we fix it?
The rim is gaping and we are afraid that rocks will get into the tube and flatten it. *So we wrap it with the bad tube and zip tye it in an effort to fix it.*
more ziptyes?
Almost fixed.
Will it last the 130 miles back to Pamamint Springs?
On our way to the warm springs we see this werid art sign thing.
Dust in the distance.

Here is Bruno with his 950. Bruno is one helluva rider.
Joe on the DR. Probably the smartest of all of us for bringing a nice light bike.
Who dat in the distance?
Matt. My old friend and one of the best you can get. We use him to dispose of extra beer.
Desert art is facinating.
Who would go to so much trouble to assemble this?
You could see this oasis from miles away. It was a little dot of green life.
As we rode closer to the warm springs you could see naked people walking around and swimmimg in the springs. Too bad most people willing to do this are not very pretty. It was like looking in the mirror.
What's wrong with guns?
We park at the springs. I dont take pictures of the naked hippies. You are glad I didn't.
What are the chances that the guy in the blue shirt speaks Czech? He talks to Peter, Mark, and Radak in some Slavic language. They probably are discussing beer.
As we dismount to explore the spring and eat cold pizza we brought we are straffed by a low flying F16 that had been flying all over that day. It came over so fast and low that Bruno pooped his pants.
Here is what a natural hot spring looks like. This one was up the valley a bit further and was surrounded by fencing to keep the buros from eating all the lush greenery.
inside of the fencing Matt checks the spring out.
From this spring we head up the most gnarly two track of rocks and bolders we have had to ride though. Think of it like a riverbed with out the water. It takes some of us out and I had several near miss falls. There is bearly a line to follow and as we park you can see better the trail.
While we rest Andy has another conference call on his Satilight phone.
Aaron is looking at the jets that keep flying above us. We wait for another sneak attack.
Matt dumped it and catches up with us. It was a hard trail.
Our tax dollars at work. Money well spent.

Traveling in a fried out Kombi, on a hippie trail, head full of zombie.
Aaron you posted the only picture of me on a bike that I have. I was hoping to show up!

We leave the straff zone and head into the mountains to try and get to Scotty's Castle. It is getting late and the girls Kerry and Margaret are waiting there with the chase truck with gas. We rode along what can only be described as a riverbed until Aaron stops and gets off his bike. He runs up the hill and pulls a three gallon gas can filled with gas out of the sand. Joe and Matt fill up. Nice one Aaron. This would turn out to be an amazing good fortune that we would soon realize later.
We enter a huge gorge. See the bike in the middle of the picture?
Andy's 660 is so sweet.
Aaron and Radak.
It is getting late and our gas is getting low.
Bruno is concerned we are going to miss the girls at the Castle. We are 5 hours late.
Honey Badger don't care. Eat my dust!
So here is what you won't see in pictures. We race to Scotty's Castle, Mark is limping on a totaly trashed front rim. We are running out of gas. We are five hours late to our check point. We get there......
No girls. The park rangers are locking the gates. The place is empty.
We miss the girls by fifteen minutes. We need to get to the next desert town and it's 30 miles away. It is getting cold, dark, and we are screwed.
We empty the last mini can of gas into Joe's bike. We head off. Ten miles down the road Matt is out of gas. We siphon from Andy's rear tank. Head out, Aaron stops, is out of gas. Repeat, then Matt again, then Joe again. This time Joe had gotten in front of us and had pushed his bike three miles before we run across him again. We finally make it to the gas stop. Barely, cool, and still 30 miles away from our final destination in Penimint Springs. We do make it. What a day! We feast, drink Schleebovitz, drink some more Schleebovitz, the Eastern Euros love to drink Schleebovitz. I can't keep up and go to bed.
The next morning we look at Marks rim. His trip is over. We have no spare rims.
They have a breakfest buffet at the lodge. We bust it.
Hey! There is our gas!
Riders slowly get their gear on.
We ride to Ballarat in the desert.
They have one of Charlie Manson's trucks sitting outside. An old GMC 4x4.
I love old trucks.
Metal does ok in the desert, but not fabrics.
I want it.
The old guy in this building said that Charlie Manson and his posse used to steal cars and strip them out here.
That rusty little machine is a cinder block molder. Dump in the cement and the metal form opens up to make a block.
Play it again Aaron. That piano still worked.
Andy and Bruno get a cold pop. Ain't nobody got time for dat! Youtube...
The bikes are ready lets go!
We ride by a big salt lake and chloride mine? The head up into the first mountain pass of the day. We are off to see Barker's Ranch.
Never get tired of these cool gorges.
We are without Mark today. Sorry buddy.
A good GPS is a must. Garmin 176. The best for off road in my opinion.
Joe is the kind of guy who would give you his gloves in a snow storm.
Kickin ass and taking names.
We make it up a gnarly canyon to arrive at the gate.
Nice rest spot.
This house is were the police caught up with Charlie Manson and his crazy family of car theives and murderers.
It burnt down in 2009 unfortunately
What's in here?
We give the place a good inspection.
I wish I could have seen it before the fire.
Time to go.

We get ready to go.
Aaron warns us about washes that may take out the road. Sometimes you don't see the wash until it is too late so you need to pay attention. He has said this several times during our trip.
Let's go!
My camera is taking a beating and the shutter cover starts acting up.
Something looks challenging down there.
We wait for the Jeeps to get out of the way up the trail.
I climb up to a huge rock for a better view.
Some class A riders right there.
These rocks are a challenge.
I wanted to get a shot of this cool mountain with stripes. If you look down the trail you can see a really bad wash out.......no you can't.
This stretch of trail was made up of really weird slip rock.
It was solid but when you rubbed it with hand or tire it would release sand. The reason I say this is because shortlybafter taking these shots I ran up on a wash out and grabbed too much front break. It was the only crash I had all week and I slid for 30 feet on my back.
It was like a wake up call.
We stop for lunch. Trail sauage, pizza, trail mix, camel back water. No one has had a flat tire or gotten hurt.
Iron pony's.
We get on the trail and run into this gold mine.
I'm an engineer so this stuff really fascinates me.
This machine was run by steam and used belts and pulleys. Which have probably rotted away in this desert sun.
Matt is standing in front of a box that emptied into a crusher.
You can see the slucenand a tumbler.
Andy waits while we explore.
The patentnon the gearbox Matt is looking at said 1918.
This steam piston and flywheel set ran the machine. I wonder were the boiler is?
The mine entrance.
Notice the timbers used to hold up the outer rock of the entrance,
Stoopid camera shutter cover.
We ride to a lake in the middle of the desert. We rode down a freshly graded dirt road doing 65 mph to get here.
The dust clouds rose 200 to 300 feet into the air.
We had to space out about a mile apart. This lake had some fish that is only living in this lake. Poor fish.
Back to the Dumont Dunes.
Hundreds of feet high.

We get our fill of Dumont Dunes and ride back to Tecopa Springs.
Back to the booby trailer.
It is our last day of riding. We are all tired and load the bikes into the trailer along with our gear.
Bruno fixes the trailer.
I am sure Mark was bummed out that he couldn't ride with us.
Matt gets one last look at the desert before the Schleebovitz.
The truck is loaded. We eat dinner at a Bistro next door and eat like kings.
Later after much Schleebovitz drinking the Metallica begins to play and the Czechs get their dance on. The owner of the place comes out and yells at us to turn it down. He leaves and the chef from the restaurant tells us to turn it up again. We are in the desert for crying out loud. Nobody is around.
We laugh.
We all go to sleep so we can get up at 4am to head to the Vegas airport. What a blast we had. Good times with good friends.
As a side note Mark got stuck in a snowstorm in New Mexico trying to get the booby trailer back to Michigan. They closed the highway with him on it.
Thanks Bruno, Andy, Mark, Aaron, Matt, Joe, Radak, Peter, and Kerry
