Fog and high winds are common during winter months. The Bay is ice-free from June through mid-November. History and Culture History The word Ekuk means "the last village down," reflecting that Ekuk is the farthest village south on the Nushagak Bay. The village is mentioned in Russian accounts of 1824 and 1828 as Village Ekouk and Seleniye Ikuk. It is thought that Ekuk was a major Eskimo village at one time. Russians employed Natives as guides for their boats as they navigated up Nushagak Bay to the trading post at Aleksandrovsk after 1818. Before the North Alaska Salmon Company opened a cannery at Ekuk in 1903, many residents had moved to the Moravian Mission at Carmel. In addition, numerous canneries sprang up during 1888 and 1889 on the east and west sides of the bay, which drew many residents away from the village. Ekuk had a school from 1958 to 1974. Today, the cannery watchman's family are the only year-round residents. In the summer, the village comes alive with cannery crews, commercial fishing, and subsistence activities. Culture Historically a Yup'ik Eskimo village, Ekuk is now used only as a summer commercial cannery and subsistence-use site. Many families have set net sites in Ekuk.

Steep Mountain Roads-Highways
I live in Central Pennsylvania in the mountains, you need a motorcycle or scooter with enough reserve power to climb these mountain roads and to keep up with the 65 mph speed limit on mountain highways.
Friend stopped by yesterday wanted to look at my scooter, he said he's going broke paying $200 per week in gas in his car driving to work, he was never on a motorcycle or scooter before but he wants to buy one so he can save money on gas, he was at a Yamaha Dealer got a price on a V Star 250 cruiser bike, he wanted my opnion.
I told him the V Star 250 is a good bike, but will it keep up its speed climbing steep mountain roads ??, and will it get good gas mileage when you have to gear it down and scream the engine to climb that mountain?
There is a fine line about gas mileage in a motorcycle or scooter, if the engine is too small and you have to max out the throttle every where you go, then you won't get good gas mileage, but if you get a bigger engine where it doesn't have to work as hard to keep up speed, you get good gas mileage.
He never thought of that and nobody explained that to him except me.
I say a 650 or 950 Yamaha cruiser bike would get around the same gas mileage as the 250 cc.
I suggeted a bike bigger than 500cc and as a new beginner that a sport bike is easiser to ride.
He wanted a Tmax like I own he can get one really cheap, but he's not impressed that it only gets 42-44 mpg and it runs on super unleaded, he wants a bike-scooter that gets 70 to 100 mpg, but like I told him he will NEVER see that high gas mileage when he has to labor the engine climbing steep mountain roads.
Just throwing this out there just to see if you guys agree with me, if I told my friend the right thing or not.
I also told him if you pay $5K for a motorcycle to save money on gas, it will take forever to make up what you saved on gas, the real reason for owning a motorcycle or scooter is for the fun factor.
no,,,, he didn't ask for a test ride on my Tmax, and I didn't want him riding it anyhow, he has no experience.

My son-in-law (then my sone, then my daughter, and now my bro-in-law......this bike gets around!) had a XV250 Yammie. Std economy is great, about 25-30 km/L on the highway. Introduce it to the nearest long hill (we're talking long hills, not mountains), and it slowed to 90kph flat out, strong headwinds the same deal. I did "tweak" it a bit to get it up to 140kph, but that's another story........
The best economy I've seen for those speeds and conditions were from 300-500cc twins. They don't labour up hills, throttle in reserve, carry a bit of weight well, and cruising get similar or better economy to 200/250's.
From what I'cve seen on this website of US bikes in the past, Kwak EX500 Ninja is a common option, or any of the Skuzi/Honda 350/400 twins.

I live in western PA and travel often to Frankiln/Oil City Area. I have owned ALOT of bikes (50 cc- 1200cc) and 4 scooters (50cc-600cc). I really try to avoid long hills and fast, heavy trafiic ( Monday morning on-the-way to work drivers) when riding my KLX250 mini-thumper. On the flat it may do 75 MPH (GPS) BUT on the long hills it drops to 55 MPH IF there is no head wind. I Don't ride the interstate for long stretches (20 miles max). Bought a 250 Reflex for my wife and it is a nice 250cc machine. Smoother but still a 250cc. No current production 250cc two wheeler can hold 65 MPH up the long mountain grades of PA while giving 70-100 MPG. My favorite ride now is a Honda Silverwing 600 cc. Very impressed, it can handle the hills.
People looking at scooters to save gas expense do not keep the scooter/cycle for long (in my experience). Wrong mindset. I agree- DO NOT let him ride your Tmax- .
Tell me Doctor, where are we going this time.......

Well, he's never going to find something that gets that type of fuel economy and is capable of climbing those hills @ 65 mph. I have an NX125, it gets 85 mpg but won't top 75 mph (and it would be screaming @ 65 mph). A Yamaha Majesty (400 cc) might work. Also, I think you're wasting your money on super unleaded.
Mr Bronco638? My Tmax reguires 91 octane or greater fuel.
Yes, I agree a Majesty or a Burgman 400 would work, but will be at the limit.
Mr. lastmanout, We are on the same page, you understand what I mean, this guy has a extra long commute to work climbing and desending 3 mountains, most of the way on 4 lane highways at 65 mph, but his heart is on a cruiser bike, and on a limited budget under $5K, maybe a Kawasaki 500 Vulcan, it uses the exact same engine as the 500 Ninja, and I seen brand new 750 Honda Shadow's selling for $4995 www.trackntrail.net http://www.cycletrader.com/find/list...SPIRT-97515294
he got a price of $2995 for a new Yamaha 250 V Star and the salesman told him it has the power and speed he needs, but I also noticed he can get a new Honda 250 Rebel for $1995, he wanted my advice and I gave him my answer and he's going to end up buying the 250 cruiser bike cause he just called me this morning wanting me to go with him so I can ride it home for him cause he has no motorcycle permit yet and he can't ride it (he didn't tell me he doesn't know how to ride it) his wife already hates him for wanting to buy one and I will get dragged into it as the person that talked him into it. oh hum!

I don't think a V star 250 would easily hold 65 MPH up steep highway mountain climbs. It might, but it would be working real hard to do it.
A 400 cc scooter may work, but really a 600-650 would be more at home with their twin cylinder engines and superior torque.
He has never ridden a motorcycle? Well he's probably not going to be able to start out on something worthy of this commute. He should by a used 250 cc motorcycle.
First go on Craigslist and get a used ok condition Honda Rebel. These are GREAT beginners bikes, 234 cc with decent power and top speed of about 80-85 MPH. Take the safety course, ride around on the Rebel for a few months, but DON'T take that commute on it. Then sell it for about what he paid and get something worthy of this commute.
First of all your right, he will NEVER see over 70 MPG on a bike worthy of this ride, especially during this kind of riding.
After riding the Rebel or whatever beginner's bike, now he has a choice of a wide variety.
I would personally recommend taking a look at Big Twins or V Twins. These engines are the most torquey.
I have an 85 Honda Shadow 700. It has the old 3 valve dual Spark plug motor which is semi supped up stock. Let me tell you, it has PLENTY of power. This bike gets to 85 MPH pretty quick and cruises along at 80 MPH right around 3,800 RPM in Overdrive real nice with a lot in reserve. Drop it down to 5th and it will climb any steep hill at 80 MPH without trouble. The newer Shadow 750s don't make as much power and are heavier though. It gets 50-60 MPG highway and I think one of these would easily handle the commute.
Any 700+ V Twin Motorcycle will work fine.
A Big Twin would be ideal, like a Yamaha Roadstar 1700 for example. These put out monster torque. A bike that would do it without ANY effort would be the Kawasaki Vulcan 2000. 2,053 cc V Twin engine, what more can I say?
If he isn't into Cruisers, any other Liter+ bike would do it as well.

Oh I just read your last post after posting my Previous message.
So he bought the V-Star 250?
Well, I don't think its going to have the power he's looking for. BUT its a good beginner's bike. He should have bought used, so that when he drops it he isn't so upset about the paint job and chrome damage.
But at least its not to big and over powerful.

Tacoma - determine the next scooter or bike YOU want to own and recommend that to him.
In my experience, folks who buy bike/scoot just to save gas find
1. It doesn't save money 'cause you have to buy and maintain the bike
2. If they aren't in it for the ride, it gets to be a chore to ride.
Once he determines those 2 things, he will want to sell it and YOU can buy it from him cheap! That's why you need to recommend the next scoot YOU want!
Otherwise, I think you were pretty much right on with what you told him about the 250 but I don't think he needs bigger than a 400 or 500cc.

update: my friend bought a used 1985 Honda XL600R for $1000, it stuck in his head when I told him he wasn't saving money on gas when he considers the cost of the motorcycle, and he made his wife hate him less by spending much less.
asked what I thought of it, I said its a low gear screamer, torque monster thats not designed for long highway speeds, maybe he can change the chain sprockets , I don't know?

Hmm, I think your kind of right.
Its a Dual Sport, mostly a Dirt Bike. NOT a highway cruiser, despite it's being 589 cc. Also a big bike to learn on, but much better than a 600 cc street bike with its decent low end torque and not so threatening power.
I think it'll be ok. It is supposed to put out like 40 HP and it is pretty lightweight.
It IS geared for hill climbing, but not at 70 MPH. It has a top speed somewhere around 85-90 MPH, so essentially its no faster than the V-Star 250. But I'm sure it has more torque.
Well see how it turns out. Let us know. It could go either way.

Definitely! I know its off topic, but I am amazed at just how nice it has been! I bought my 85 Shadow 700 as a project bike for $450 at a bike yard. They thought it would be A LOT of work, and I was ok with that as I wanted a project bike. BUT they told me it had very good compression and even showed me, so I knew I could get it going.
I got it going in just 2 weeks! The issue was the fuel pump had failed, so I replaced it, used KREEM for the tank rust, replaced the lines, made sure it has oil and antifreeze etc, and pressed te button. The instant the Fuel got pumped to the carbs it fired RIGHT up! It ran so effortlessly, especially for after sitting for who knows how many years.
I did a few other basic things like Steel Wool the rust and brakes job, clutch fluid etc, its all sound!
I have been riding it for a while. Its SUCH a nice bike. IMHO its THE best motorcycle I've ever owned. It has the best damn transmission. If I could regear it for free I wouldn't touch a single ratio! Perfect real OD 6th for a smooth effortless 70 MPH at just 3,500 RPM on the highway, and decently accurate speedo measured my GPS.
It is VERY smooth. Yet is sounds like a V-Twin at idle with that kind of uneven sound, when adjusted low enough. Has the cool looks of a Cruiser. But it has the reliability and smoothness of a Japanese bike. I especially love the 80s models, as the new 750s are nice but slower, they only make 45 HP but the old 3 Valve Dual Carb models make 66 HP! And weigh less.
If your friend finds his 600 to not be ideal for the commute, have him take a look at any Honda Shadow!

I know a guy that has a 750 Shadow and he rides his BIG wife on the back everywhere he goes, and she's a BIG girl, I mean a really BIG girl, and he keeps the speed limits, she never complains about being uncomfortable, and I LOVE the smooth sound that engine makes.
These guys that own the giant cruisers 1600-1800cc don't understand the Honda Shadow will perform and do the same thing their giant cruiser will do!

How big?
The Honda thumper will be OK. My KTM 640 SM toured OK, once I changed the sprockets to drop the revs and keep it cruisy, and I added a small screen to take the wind off my chest (the screen is a MUST for highway).

I don't really want involved with my friend and his new motorcycle since his wifey poo started cursing my name and blaming me and making me the trouble maker just because he wanted a bike.

The Grizzlies' draft process has many voices, but one boss
So, what's it look like when you pull back the curtain on the Grizzlies' draft process?
Who makes those picks, anyway?
The best answer is: Well, it all depends. Despite the constant of Michael Heisley as owner, the process has changed as the front office has changed. If you're counting at home, the Griz -- well known for a revolving door for players and coaches -- are working on their fourth organizational hierarchy as it relates to drafting.
Gone is the wholly collaborative effort of the Dick Versace/Billy Knight regime. And, the autonomy that Jerry West and, later, Marc Iavaroni once wielded is history.
Now, as the Griz prepare for their 10th draft since moving to Memphis, the organization's preparation and mode of operation is described as collaborative at different levels -- but with Heisley ultimately making the final call.
That means the team's scouts, coaches and general manager Chris Wallace form opinions independent of each other. They feed information to Heisley, and whatever decision the Griz make Thursday during the draft -- they have the Nos. 12, 25 and 28 picks of the first round -- will come from their Chicago-based billionaire boss.
"But I don't want people to think that I'm the guy who picks the player out of nothing," Heisley said. "What I do is I take the opinions of various people. I question them. I try to evaluate their opinions. I put that together, and then Chris and I make a decision. Do we all sit down and take a vote? No. Somebody has to make the decision."
Heisley began to wield control over major decisions just before the 2008 draft. West was a year removed from retirement and Iavaroni had been stripped of his decision-making powers.
Now, the Grizzlies' process of preparing for the draft and exercising picks/trades comes down to how Heisley interprets the information he receives.
The scouting department, led by Tony Barone Sr. and Tony Barone Jr., sends Heisley documents regarding players it likes and how the draft could unfold.
Wallace continually makes recommendations. Head coach Lionel Hollins eventually has his say.
"Mike simply wants to see that there has been a process. Mike is a guy who will debate you on anything," Wallace said. "He wants to see that there are layers to your opinion and that you're willing to stand for what your opinion is. And that's fine because it forces you to think through what you've come up with."
Truth is, Heisley wants to be sold and everyone in the franchise understands that.
"I don't think Mike dominates the process but he has the right to make the call," Hollins said. "It's his team and his money. We have to present information that lets him be more comfortable with what we think. Owners have the right to be involved."
Heisley's level of involvement, though, has shifted through the seasons. Then-GM Knight wanted Pau Gasol in 2001 and won the right to pick the Spaniard over high schooler Eddy Curry. West, as president of basketball operations, was responsible for Drew Gooden in 2002. Then-assistant GM Tom Penn convinced the war room to go with Hakim Warrick in 2005 when an angry and dejected West stormed out because his player was off the board.
Former head coach Iavaroni's desire in 2007 was to grab Mike Conley, so the Griz took him with the fourth overall pick.
Last year, at least half of the front office believed in guard Stephen Curry. Heisley -- his role having reached buck-stops-here status -- entered the proceedings with center Hasheem Thabeet on his mind, and found a strong advocate for the pick in Barone Sr.
Thabeet, it was.
Who will serve as the influencer this year is anyone's guess.
"Everyone has an option to voice their opinion on players," Barone Sr. said. "My thing is, here's the information. Here's what I believe. If I was in a different role I might want more to say about it. But as the player personnel director, I'm providing information. You look at it and you make the evaluation based on what we say."
There are indications that the team's front office lacks strong voices -- that those debates Heisley loves are often one-sided affairs.
Wallace would only say that "we can't do anything that Mike is adamantly opposed to."
And Heisley isn't opposed to overriding seemingly sound opinions. Signing Allen Iverson isn't the only move Heisley has made despite being vehemently opposed by his basketball people in recent years.
He entered the 2008 draft determined to trade the pick. He wanted to acquire the second overall pick from Miami for the right to draft Michael Beasley even though the consensus among his coaches and scouts was to draft Kevin Love.
Undeterred, Heisley -- with Wallace firmly on board -- spearheaded the draft-day deal that netted the Grizzlies O.J. Mayo. There still were more votes for keeping Love, whom the Griz selected with the fifth overall pick.
"I was a big supporter of O.J. so I basically made that choice," Heisley said. "Chris agreed with me. We had a lot of people that didn't agree with me. But we went ahead anyway. So far, I feel comfortable with that choice. As for Thabeet, I made that decision. But I had a lot of recommendation."
Heisley can be unconventional in his information gathering.
For example, he still communicates regularly with Versace and West, people who used to work for the Griz but were fired (Versace) or retired (West).
Heisley will take his solicitation a step further this year. He's invited a few high-profile college coaches, whom he won't identify, to address the Grizzlies' front office with their opinions about players in the draft.
"These are very knowledgeable basketball people," Heisley said. "I use coach Gene Bartow (president of Hoops LP). Jerry is considered possibly the best basketball mind in the industry and Dick Versace has always been very knowledgeable. I know that Dick and Jerry have more basketball knowledge in their little finger than my whole body.
"And I don't think I have more knowledge than Tony Barone when I come into this. I just want to know why he's picking this guy. But Chris and I have to make the decision in the end."
Publicly, Wallace doesn't appear to be offended at Heisley's reliance on relative outsiders.
"I'm satisfied with my level of involvement," Wallace said. "Decision-making is a fluid process. There's probably no team in the NBA where the decision-making breaks down to the same proportion every time. It doesn't work out that way. The only time it does is when you have a czar general manager who has complete control of the franchise. There aren't too many of those situations in the NBA any more."
When the Grizzlies convene for their final draft preparation Wednesday afternoon, the scouting department will have done its homework and readied it for presentation. Heisley, Wallace, the Barones, Hollins and assistant general manager Kenny Williamson will convene for a comprehensive draft overview.
Barone Sr. will direct the meeting, which will cover everything from player rankings to opinions on who the Grizzlies should pick.
"We'll go over every detail," Heisley said. "It goes sometimes until the next morning."
Draft day then brings about organized chaos. Debates rage on. Wallace works the phones for potential trades nonstop while pacing the floor.
"It's like a telethon you see on TV," Wallace said. "The telephones are constantly ringing."
Heisley, though, makes this one thing very clear: while the Grizzlies' draft process may ring out with many voices, it's not a democracy.
"We don't vote," he said. "Somebody eventually has to make a decision.
"But I don't think I'm running the team. I'm more active than I have ever been. So people take that as I'm running the team. I take responsibility for the mistakes because the buck stops at the top. Just like President Obama has to take responsibility whether he makes the mistakes or not. With the Grizzlies, it used to be Jerry West, now it's Mike Heisley. It's that simple. That doesn't mean Chris doesn't make most of the decisions.
"I've deferred to Chris. I deferred to Chris and Iavaroni on the (Pau) Gasol trade. I'm not upset. I made that decision. But I think Chris would be the first person to tell you that they recommended it to me. Do I make the decisions for HEICO (his company)? Yeah. Do I talk to Stan Meadows (HEICO and Grizzlies lead attorney)? You bet your (butt). Sometimes I defer, and that's decision making."

Another alternator hits the dust and not under warranty

I don't have an F800 GS but for some reason I read through all 40 pages here as it was quite interesting.
Still have one question. The Series regulator talked about earlier like the Compufire is listed as ouputting 30% of the total current the OEM stator would when demand is low. I'm not sure if I misread one of the posts but wayyyy back in the pages I thought it was mentioned the series regulator will provide less power most of the time but when you need the full capacity of the stator, it will allow it to provide that.
Then later there was quite a few posts weighing the benefits or probability whether each rider could "deal" with the reduced power output of the series regulator or whether they would need more power for heated gear and gadgets.
Question is does the series regulator only always output a reduced current from the stator and thus "derating" the stator output ALLL the time? OR does it provide up to the 400 watts if needed but if not needed ramps stator output down to say 100 watts for the majority of the running time?
Reasons I'm curious the F650 Funduros are notorious for eating their VRR's ( regulator rectifiers) and my current one from an F650 GS while better, is on it's way out. Testing the stator output I noticed quite a noticeable jump in RPM's when the stator leads to the VRR are disconnected for testing. If the Series regulator like the Compufire could do similar on my application it may be worth considering...but only if at some point I'd have access to all 280w of my charging system's power.
Incidentally, I just ordered an FH020AA for my little beast. They do quite well on the Funduros and I like a safe bet.

Ripper Owens' Beyond Fear Signs To SPV
SPV Records has announced the signing of BEYOND FEAR, the brand new hard-hitting metal outfit founded by current ICED EARTH and former JUDAS PRIEST vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens. The band is preparing to enter the studio with producer Jim Morris (ICED EARTH, DEATH) to record their debut album for a 2006 release. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "I Don't Need This", "And You Will Die", "It Is Me", "Telling Lies", "The Faith", "The Human Race", "Your Time Has Come" and "My Last Words".
"It feels great to sign with SPV," Owens commented. "I have been with them for quite some time now with ICED EARTH, so I know what they can do. It is always nice to have a label that makes you feel like family, and that's what SPV does for you!"
The band is off to a fast start, having recently announced their participation in a series of American dates with SAVATAGE leader Jon Oliva (JON OLIVA'S PAIN) and SAVATAGE axeman Chris Caffery. The tour kicks off on September 9, 2005 in Cleveland OH, with remaining dates pending.
Never one to sit still for long, Owens began forming BEYOND FEAR last year during breaks in the ICED EARTH touring schedule. The band also features John Comprix (SPAWN, 13 FACES) on lead and rhythm guitar, Dennis Hayes (ex-WINTERS BANE, SEVEN WITCHES) on bass, Dwane Bihary (MISSING SKIN) on rhythm guitar, and drummer Eric Elkins (CRYPTKICKER, ALL YOU FEAR). "This band means a lot to me and I'm having the time of my life doing it," continued Owens. "It's fun when you finally get to do what you want. That being said, let's get this machine called BEYOND FEAR out there for the world to hear and see."
SPV Managing Director, Manfred Schuetz, explains, "Tim is one of the five best singers in metal. He will deliver an album that will convince everyone. SPV is excited about the worldwide commitment."

No Judas Priest Tribute Planned
Former JUDAS PRIEST and current ICED EARTH/BEYOND FEAR frontman Tim "Ripper" Owens has posted the following message in the "Forum" section of his official web site:
"PRIEST has informed me that they don't think it is a good idea to have BEYOND FEAR on any tours with them and that it would be best for me to drop the tribute/PRIEST factor. I know a lot of fans wanted this and I myself still like to please the fans. But it looks as though you will never see PRIEST and myself on the same tour. Sorry."
Owens is in the process of signing a record deal for his BEYOND FEAR project, which also features guitarists John Comprix (SPAWN, 13 FACES) and Dwane Bihary (MISSING SKIN), bassist Dennis Hayes (WINTERS BANE, SEVEN WITCHES) and drummer Eric Elkins (CRYPTKICKER, ALL YOU FEAR). Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "I Don't Need This", "And You Will Die", "It Is Me", "Telling Lies" and "The Faith".
"The contract is signed on my end, and I'm now waiting to get it back and the OK to start recording," Owens writes. "I have informed [producer] Jim Morris [ICED EARTH, DEATH, DEMONS & WIZARDS] and everybody involved that we will soon get this thing going."
Motorhead's Lemmy To Receive 'Living Legend' Award
Lemmy Kilmister, the notorious bass player and vocalist of U.K. rock 'n' roll titans Motörhead, will be honored with the very first "Living Legend" award at this year's inaugural Classic Rock Roll of Honor, organized by Classic Rock magazine. Taking place on Tuesday, October 4, 2005 at London's Café De Paris, the Classic Rock Roll of Honor will celebrate the big names as well as the unsung heroes from the diverse world of rock 'n' roll and promises to take a fresh approach to the tired award ceremony format.
To coincide with the 30th Anniversary of Motörhead, the U.K.'s most revered rock 'n' roll outfit as well as, unbelievably, Lemmy's 60th birthday celebrations, the Classic Rock Roll of Honor will place a special emphasis on the often diluted "Lifetime Achievement" award category.
Rather than simply giving Lemmy the "Living Legend" award on the night, the Classic Rock Roll of Honor will dedicate an entire section of the evening's proceedings to pay homage to the remarkable achievements of one of the U.K.'s best-loved rock 'n' roll stars. The team behind Classic Rock magazine and the Classic Rock Roll of Honor have assembled a moving tribute package that comprises of testimonials and greetings to Lemmy from a raft of peers and young bands and musicians inspired by the star, as well as messages from fans of all ages. It is hoped that Lemmy and the rest of Motörhead will complete the evening with a brief acoustic set. This however, has not been confirmed by the band at this stage.
In addition to Lemmy's "Living Legend" award, there will be a further eight awards on the night, which will be announced soon. Classic Rock also has announced the categories and nominations for the very first Readers' Awards, which are voted for by the readers via text message ballot: More...

Priest To Perform Acoustically On VH1 Classic
JUDAS PRIEST's Glenn Tipton, Rob Halford and K.K. Downing performed two songs acoustically for an upcoming VH1 Classic appearance, set to air on Saturday, July 16 at noon and again at midnight EST.
PRIEST guitarist Glenn Tipton told ABC ePrep that the band's upcoming live DVD, featuring footage from their recent shows at Japan's Budokan, will be released in the fall.
JUDAS PRIEST kicked off their North American with QUEENSRŸCHE on May 30 at the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
JUDAS PRIEST are continuing to tour in support of "Angel of Retribution", their first album with singer Rob Halford in 15 years. "Angel of Retribution" was produced by Roy Z, who has previously worked on solo albums from Halford and IRON MAIDEN's Bruce Dickinson.
JUDAS PRIEST's "Angel of Retribution" has sold 146,224 copies in the United States to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The Judas Priest Trial: 15 Years Later
Lenita Powers of the Reno Gazette-Journal has issued the following report:
Fifteen years ago, Reno became the focus of a high-profile lawsuit that charged the British heavy metal group JUDAS PRIEST with hiding subliminal messages in its music that led to the deaths of two fans.
As JUDAS PRIEST returns to perform tonight in Reno, those who took part in a courtroom drama that became the focus of international attention recalled the complex case that still generates calls from law students.
Other lawsuits at that time sought damages because of violent lyrics in music, but the JUDAS PRIEST case was one of the first to claim that subliminal messages hidden behind those lyrics caused the deaths of two young men.
"It was the first time there had been a judicial determination of whether subliminal messages were or were not protected speech under the First Amendment," former Washoe District Judge Jerry Whitehead said this week.
Whitehead, who heard the case after the lawyers agreed not to have the civil suit decided by a jury, ruled it was not. More...

VH1's 'Most Metal Moments' Selling Disinformation
Tony Hicks of the Contra Costa Times has issued the following report:
VH1 is selling disinformation again in the name of being cute. This has become a real problem over there, where reaction over a few funny shows is turning the network into the obnoxious kid who won't stop popping off.
I'm writing about, of course, this awful "100 Most Metal Moments", which first showed its ugly head last year. At first, I was repulsed, angered ... and angered some more. I wanted someone at VH1 to pay for their stupidity and thoughtlessness in not only having no idea what metal was, but executing a show that, to some, would certainly be the authoritative voice on the subject. It's like giving Ashlee Simpson a part in a Janis Joplin bio film.
Once I calmed down, I realized this would go away. It wouldn't spread disinformation. VH1's addiction to cuteness, via second-rate celebrities popping off about things they don't understand, would take them in new directions. Or so I thought.
VH1 has decided to replay the show this month, which means that at any given time, a viewer has the chance to hear some so-called expert equate BON JOVI with the term "metal." Now I'm no Count Grishnackh, but in ninth grade I did ride all the way in the closed trunk of a Camaro (there was no room in the back seat) to see BLACK SABBATH at the Cow Palace.
Anyways, here's some of the VH1 tidbits a viewer can get brainwashed into believing are "metal" or even "most metal" if they're not careful: More...

Judas Priest World Tour Update
JUDAS PRIEST Management Co-Ordinator Jayne Andrews has issued the following update via the band's official web site:
"Pease be a little bit patient and understand that the world is a very big place and trying to set up shows worldwide takes time!!!! We can't be everywhere all at once!!
"We haven't forgotten about Canada — just as we haven't forgotten about all the other places like South America, Mexico, France, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand etc., etc!!! We are working on many other dates and will be announcing them just as soon as they are finalised - so please have a little bit of faith and trust us!! When we have some dates confirmed in Canada and everywhere else you will read them here!!"
JUDAS PRIEST have moved up the start date of their North American tour by a couple of days. The band will kick things off May 30 at the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, rather than at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, on June 1.
More Ripper Owens Solo Project Info Revealed
Former JUDAS PRIEST and current ICED EARTH frontman Tim "Ripper" Owens is currently shopping a five-song CD from his solo project, tentatively dubbed BEYOND FEAR. Songs featured on the CD are as follows:
01. I Don't Need This
02. And You Will Die
03. It Is Me
04. Telling Lies
05. The Faith
BLABBERMOUTH.NET, who had an opportunity to hear the recording,says it boasts a thick, heavy riffing style and extremely powerful vocals from Owens. Traces of JUDAS PRIEST, PANTERA and BLACK SABBATH are all present along with a healthy dose of double-bass drumming, which adds a modern edge to what is essentially a traditional metal approach.
As previously reported, Owens will be joined on his upcoming solo album by guitarist John Comprix (13 FACES, SPAWN) and an as-yet-undetermined drummer (original choice ICED EARTH's Bobby Jarzombek recently decided against becoming involved with the project). A tentative late 2005/early 2006 release is expected.

Ypres - WW1 Battlefields
Visiting the Battlefields, Cemeteries & other landmarks of WW1 - Poperinge 'Shot at Dawn'
'Shot at Dawn' Cells and Memorial, Poperinge
A stark reminder of unwanted events of World War One
In many ways, the Cells and Execution Pole where men were executed during WW1 in Poperinge is a sombre and emotional place to visit, but to understand and respect more the history of those tormented times, it has to be visited.
The Cells are situated in the main Town Hall and can be reached by going through a small side gate. There are two cells, both kept bare and in context with what went on there. Each are about 8 feet square and one has a view to the Courtyard where the executions took place.
On the walls you will see some graffiti, but not all go back to those times; but you can soon identify those drawn by the Prisoners by their age and composition.
Whilst you are there, a recording plays every half an hour or so in which information about procedures are given and there's also a dramatic re-inactment of the 'Ceremony'.
The Execution Pole is in the Courtyard and the thing which immediately strikes is that they have built an extension to the Town Hall around it, thus ensuring this reminder will be there forever
Altogether, there were over 300 British Servicemen shot during WW1. It is not known exactly how many were guilty of their crimes, some saying they were simply shot as an example. Without doubt though, some shot for cowardice were suffering from Shell Shock and it wasn't until nearly 100 years later that the British Government completed the pardoning of those concerned - a little late.
There was of course some crime amongst the ranks, but if those crimes warranted death by firing squad, who will ever really know.
It's also interesting to note that these were carried out in the Town Hall, in the middle of the Town where thousands of men would spend some days leave, so they would have been very aware of the events taking place.
Poperinge is a town of many stories, some good, some bad and some extremely ugly, but that's how it was then and by visiting the actual site and getting a feel of the place, will bring you closer to understanding the cruelness of War.

Does anyone know of any VPS hosts that will let me install a VM that I have already created?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Having worked for many hosting companies, I would have to say that something like a customer using his own VM image is out of the question for a VPS. Most likely, headaches all around. I certainly don't know offhand of any VPS provider that would allow this.
On the other hand, you might have more luck with something along the lines of AMI and EC2.

We just returned from a family gathering in Lake Worth. I love my family but "thank goodness for the Mango Inn" at the end of each day. Our room (the Cottage) was charming. It was very clean and well decorated and was located poolside. We could open the french doors and had a great private sitting area just outside our room. The gardens were very well cared for and were very peaceful. The breakfast was great - many choices and very relaxing atmosphere.
We were on the very end of the fresh mango season that was supplied by two large mango trees on the property. I highly recommend this Inn.

The Mango Inn was a great little find. The prices were very reasonable, our room (Bougainvillea) was well decorated and very clean, the breakfast was great, the gardens and pool were exceptional. Innkeepers were warm, friendly and helpful. Lake Worth was a great little find also - not so busy as some vaction spots but cozy little places to stop, shop and eat. We will be sure to return to the Mango Inn in Lake Worth.

This is our second time at the Mango Inn and we left looking forward our next trip. We travel a good deal but this is our favorite spot for many, many reasons. The food is certainly memorable; reading by the pool or sitting in the gardens and listening to the water fountain is soothing; talking with the owners about their interesting and diverse backgrounds is uplifting; Lake Worth people, parks, beaches, and restaurants are quaint and charming.
Rooms are way beyond well decorated and clean. As I said, we travel often and this is the Best of the Best.

My husband and I just had the most wonderful experience at the Mango Inn. We booked a Lovers' Tryst package that included a private cocktail party on the veranda of the inn (so romantic!!!) We stayed in the Mango Suite that had great views of the Pineapple Courtyard. The room was very clean, bright and spacious. The gardens were so tropical and peaceful. The location was perfect to get to the beach and to the quaint downtown of Lake Worth. Breakfast
was excellent and the afternoon cookies to die for. The owners were warm, friendly and very helpful about the area. I would certainly recommend this bed and breakfast to my friends.
No Thanks

This is a variation on the problem of 2 people trying to split something. [where A cuts and B chooses which half].
One solution that solves this problem, but can be used for any practical value of N peopleSpoiler for
Arrange people in some order [ example: we will use sitting around a table and that things are passed clockwise].
- Person 1 [arbitrarily chosen] cuts a piece of cake, puts it on a plate and passes it to Person 2
- Person 2 can either keep the piece [if it looks good] or pass it along to Person 3
- ...
- Person 5 can either keep the piece [if it looks good] or pass it along to Person 1 [who must keep it]
After the 1st slice has been kept by someone. The knife is passed to the next person [that does not have a piece already] and the same process occurs. After someone takes a slice, they will not longer participate.
This process continues until someone cuts the 4th slice and the remaining person gets to choose that slice or what is left.
With this process, every "cutter" is encouraged to cut a slice that is fair, but not too big
Not sure that this is what TSLF is aiming at. I think he means "How do you divide a round cake equally into 5ths using 4 cuts". But I've been known to be wrong before...
Edit... or more specifically, how do you ensure that each of 5 people gets an equal amount.
Ahh k-man, where were you when we needed a modicum of common sense? You're THE man.
Oh and, BTW, I did so inform y'all thusly.
You must not think me necessarily foolish because I am facetious, nor will I consider you necessarily wise because you are grave. Sydney Smith.

Well-Loved Potato Sides — Comfort Food Feastby Allison Milam in Recipes, January 9th, 2013
Whenever we dip fries in ketchup, spoon gravy over mashed potatoes or savor an egg with a side of home fries, the good ole potato is doing what it does best. As the foundation of our most loved sides, it comforts us to our very core. That's why in this second week of frosty January, we're moving down the line of our favorites potato recipes, from mashed to pancaked.
Is it a holiday? Steak night? You can bet a mound of Velvety Mashed Potatoes will be in attendance. For those who yearn for more structure, Baked Mashed Potatoes with Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs go in the oven until golden brown.
A burger has never seen a day without fries. Guy Fieri's golden Double-Fried French Fries (pictured above) are everything you'd ever want in a fry, while Tyler Florence's Oven Fries are baked in lieu of visiting the fryer.

The Memphis Grizzlies have signed second-round draft pick Josh Selby and free agent Jeremy Pargo. They also added five more free agents to their training camp roster Saturday. Selby, a 6-foot-2, 183-pound guard, was the 49th overall pick in the 2011 draft. As a freshman last season at Kansas, Selby averaged 7.9 points in 26 games. Pargo, a 6-foot-2, 219-pound guard, spent last season with Euroleague's Maccabi Tel-Aviv. Pargo was the 2008 West Coast Conference player of the year as a junior at Gonzaga but went undrafted in 2009. The Grizzlies also added forward Josh Davis, center Mikki Moore, center Jared Reiner, forward Walter Sharpe and forward/center Brian Skinner.
