The Farewell Pilgrimage
Ten years after the migration, the Messenger of Allah ordered to his close followers to call all the people in different places to join him in his last pilgrimage. On this pilgrimage he taught them how to perform the pilgrimage in a correct and unified form.
This was first time that the Muslims with this magnitude gathered in one place in the presence of their leader, the Messenger of Allah. On his way to Mecca, more than seventy thousand people followed Prophet (PBUH&HF).
On the fourth day of Dhul-Hajjah more than one hundred thousand Muslims had entered Mecca.
Revelation of Verse 5:67
On the 18th of Dhul-Hajjah, after completing his last pilgrimage (Hajjatul-Widaa), Prophet was leaving Mecca toward Medina, where he and the crowd of people reached to a place called Ghadir Khum (which is close to today's Juhfah). It was a place where people from different provinces should say Good bye to each other and take different routes for their home. In this
place, the following verse was revealed : "O Apostle! Deliver what has been sent down to you from your Lord; and if you don't do it, you have not delivered His message (at all); and
Allah will protect you from the people ..." (Quran 5:67).
Some of Sunni references confirming that the revelation of the above verse of Quran was right before the speech of Prophet in Ghadir Khum:
(1) Tafsir al-Kabir, by Fakhr al-Razi, under commentary of verse 5:67,
v12, pp 49-50, narrated on the authorities of Ibn Abbas, al-Bara Ibn
Azib, and Muhammad Ibn Ali.
(2) Asbab al-Nuzool, by al-Wahidi, p50, narrated on the authorities of
Atiyyah and Abu Sa'id al Khudri.
(3) Nuzul al-Quran, by al-Hafiz Abu Nu'aym narrated on the authorities
Abu Sa'id Khudri and Abu Rafi.

(10) Umdatul Qari fi Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari, by al-Ayni

The last sentence in the above verse indicates that the Prophet (PBUH&HF) was mindful of the reaction of his people in delivering that message but Allah informs him not to worry, for He will protect His Messenger from people.
The Speech; Upon receiving the verse, the Prophet (PBUH&HF) stopped on that place (the pond of Khum) which was extremely hot. Then he sent for all people who have been ahead in the way, to come back and waited until all pilgrims who fell behind, arrived and gathered. He ordered Salman to use rocks and camel toolings to make a pulpit (minbar) so he could make his announcement. It was around noon time in the first of the Fall, and due to the extreme heat in that valley, people were wrapping their robes around their feet and legs, and were sitting around the pulpit, on the hot rocks.
On this day the Messenger of Allah spent approximately five ours in this place; three hours of which he was on the pulpit. He recited nearly one hundred verses from The Glorious Quran, and for seventy three times reminded and warned people of their deeds and future. Then he gave them along speech. The following is a part of his speech which has been widely narrated by the Sunni traditionists:
The Messenger of Allah declared: "It seems the time approached when I shall be called away (by Allah) and I shall answer that call. I am leaving for you two precious things and if you adhere both of them,you will never go astray after me. They are the Book of Allah and my progeny, that is my Ahlul-Bayt. The two shall never separate from each other until they come to me by the Pool (of Paradise)."
Then the Messenger of Allah continued: "Do I not have more right over
the believers than what they have over themselves?" People cried and
answered: "Yes, O' Messenger of God." Then Prophet held up the
hand of Ali and said: "Whoever I am his leader (Mawla), Ali is his
leader (Mawla). O' God, love those who love him, and be hostile to
those who are hostile to him."

Revelation of Verse 5:3
Immediately after the Prophet (PBUH&HF) finished his speech, the following
verse of Holy Quran was revealed:
"Today I have perfected your religion and completed my bounty upon
you, and I was satisfied that Islam be your religion." (Quran 5:3)
Some of Sunni references which mentioned the revelation of the above
verse of Quran in Ghadir Khum after the speech of the Prophet:
(1) al-Durr al-Manthur, by al-Hafiz Jalaluddin al-Suyuti, v3, p19
(2) Tarikh, by Khatib al-Baghdadi, v8, pp 290,596 from Abu Hurayra

(9) Nuzul al-Quran, by al-Hafiz Abu Nu'aym narrated on the authority

The above verse clearly indicates that Islam without clearing up matter of leadership after Prophet was not complete, and completion of religion was due to announcement of Prophet's immediate successor.
Oath of Allegiance: After his speech, the Messenger of Allah asked every body to give the oath of allegiance to Ali and congratulate him. Among those who gave him the oath were Umar, Abu Bakr, and Uthman. It is narrated that Umar and
Abu Bakr said:
"Well done Ibn Abi Talib! Today you became the leader (Mawla) of all
believing men and women."

The Number of People in Ghadir Khum
It was Allah's will that an increased popularity is associated with this tradition via the tongs of narrators and over the times. So that there is a standing proof for the guiding Imam (peace be upon him). Allah ordered His Prophet (PBUH&HF) to notify people at a time of crowded populous so that all become the narrators of the tradition, while they exceeded a hundred

Revelation of Verse 70:1-3: Some Sunni commentators further claim that the first three verse of the chapter of al-Ma'arij (70:1-3) was revealed when a dispute arose after
Prophet reached Medina. It is recorded that:
On the day of Ghadir the Messenger of Allah summoned the people toward
Ali and said: "Ali is the MAWLA of whom I am MAWLA." The news spread
quickly all over urban and rural areas. When Harith Ibn Nu'man al-
Fahri (or Nadhr Ibn Harith according to another tradition) came to
know of it, he rode his camel and came to Medina and went to the
Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) and said to him: "You commanded us to
testify that there is no deity but Allah and that you are the
Messenger of Allah. We obeyed you. You ordered us to perform the
prayers five times a day and we obeyed. You ordered us to observe
fasts during the month of Ramadhan and we obeyed. Then you commanded
us to offer pilgrimage to Mecca and we obeyed. But you are not
satisfied with all this and you raised your cousin by your hand and
imposed him upon us as our master by saying `Ali is the MAWLA of whom
I am MAWLA.' Is this imposition from Allah or from You?" The Prophet
(PBUH&HF) said : "By Allah who is the only deity! This is from Allah,
the Mighty and the Glorious."
On hearing this Harith turned back and proceeded towards his she-camel
saying: "O Allah! If what Muhammad said is correct then fling on us a
stone from the sky and subject us to severe pain and torture."
He had not reached his she-camel when Allah, who is above all defects
flung at him a stone which struck him on his head, penetrated his body
and passed out through his lower body and left him dead. It was on
this occasion that Allah, the exalted, caused to descend the following
"A questioner questioned about the punishment to fall. For the
disbelievers there is nothing to avert it, from Allah the Lord of
the Ascent." (70:1-3)

The events that Imam Ali reminded the Tradition: Imam Ali , in person, reminded others who witnessed the event of Ghadir
and the tradition of the Messenger of Allah; these are some of the events:
- On the day of Shura (Election Day for Uthman)
- During the days of Uthman's rule
- The Day of Rahbah (year 35) where 24 companions stood up and swore that
they attended and heard the tradition of the Prophet first hand,
twelve of whom were the warriors of Badr.
- The Day of Jamal (the War of Camel, year 36) where he reminded Talha.
- The Day of the Riders where 9 witnesses testified.
About the Battle of Camel, al-Hakim and Ahmad Ibn Hanbal and others
recorded that:
We were in the camp of Ali on the day of Battle of Camel, where Ali sent for Talha to talk to him (before the beginning of war). Talha came forward, and Ali told him: I adjure you by Allah! Didn't you hear the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) when he said: `Whoever I am his MAWLA, this Ali is his MAWLA. O God, love whoever loves him, and be hostile to whoever is hostile to him'?" Talha replied: "Yes." Ali said: "Then why do you want to fight me?"

Ahmad Ibn Hanbal recorded in his Musnad that:
Abu Tufayl narrated that He (Ali) gathered the people in the plain of Rahbah (on year 35 AH) and adjured in the name of Allah every Muslim male present there who had heard the proclamation of al-Ghadir from the Messenger of Allah to stand up and testify what they had heard from the Messenger on the Day of Ghadir. Thereupon thirty (30) men stood up and gave evidence that the Prophet grasped Ali's hand and said to the audience: "He (Ali) has superior authority over those who believe me to have superiority over their lives. O Allah! Love him who loves him and hate him who hates him." Abu Tufayl says that it was in a state of great mental agitation that he left the plain of Rahbah, for the Muslim masses had not complied with the tradition. He therefore called on Zaid Ibn Arqam and told him what he heard from Ali. Zaid told him not to entertain any doubt about it for he himself had heard the Messenger of Allah uttering those words.
Sunni reference: Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, v4, p370
Abd al-Rahman Ibn Abu Laylah said: I witnessed Ali administering an
oath to the people in the plain of Rahbah. Ali said: "I adjure those
of you in the name of Allah who heard the Messenger of Allah on the
day of Ghadir saying `Ali is the Mawla of whom I am Mawla' to stand
up and to testify. He who was not an eyewitness doesn't need to stand
up." Thereupon twelve (12) such companions who had participated in
the Battle of Badr stood up. The occasion is still fresh in my memory.

When Ali said to Anas: "Why don't you stand up and testify what you
heard from the Messenger of Allah on the day of Ghadir?" He answered,
"O Amir al-Mumineen! I have grown old and do not remember." Thereupon
Ali said: "May Allah mark you with a white spot (of leprosy; Alphosis)
unconcealable with your turban, if you are intentionally withholding
the truth." And before Anas got up from his place he bore a large
white spot on his face, Thereafter Anas used to say, "I am under the
curse of the righteous servant of Allah."

A more detailed speech of Prophet at the Pond of Khum: Messenger of Allah said:
"Praise belongs to Allah. We ask Him for help, and we believe in Him,and to Him we trust. We seek refuge to Him from the evil of our souls and the sins of our deeds. Verily there is no guide for the one whom Allah leaves in stray, and there is non who leads astray the one whom Allah has guided."
"O People! Know that Gabriel came down to me several times bringing me an order from the Lord, the Merciful, that I should stop at this place
and inform you. Behold! It is as if the time approached when I shall be called away (by Allah) and I shall answer that call."
"O Folk! Don't you witness that there is no deity but Allah, Muhammad is His servant and His Apostle, Paradise is truth, Hell is truth, death is truth, resurrection is truth, and that the Hour shall
certainly arrive, and Allah shall raise people from the graves?"
People replied: "Yes, we believe in them."
He continued: "O People! Do you hear my voice (clearly)?" They said: "Yes". The Prophet said: "Behold! I am leaving among you two precious and weighty Symbols that if you adhere to both of them, you shall never go astray after me. Each of these two surpasses the other in its grandeur."
A person asked: "O Messenger of Allah, what are those two precious things?"
The Prophet replied: "One of them is the Book of Allah and the other
one is my select progeny (Itrat), that is family (Ahlul-Bayt). Beware
of how you behave them when I am gone from amongst you, for Allah, the
Merciful, has informed me that these two (i.e., Quran and Ahlul-Bayt)
shall never separate from each other until they reach me in Heaven at
the Pool (of al-Kawthar). I remind you, in the name of Allah, about my
Ahlul-Bayt. I remind you, in the name of Allah, about my Ahlul-Bayt.
Once more! I remind you, in the name of Allah, about my Ahlul-Bayt."
"Behold! I am your predecessor at the Pool (of Paradise) and I shall
be a witness against you. Thus be careful how you treat these two
precious things after me. Do not precede these two for you will
perish, and do not stay away from them for you will perish."
"O People! Don't you know that I have more authority upon you than
yourself?" People cried and said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." Then
prophet repeated: "O Folk! Do I not have more right over the believers
than what they have over themselves?" People said again "Yes, O
Messenger of Allah." Then Prophet said: "O People! Surely God is my
Master, and I am the master of all believers." Then he grasped the
hand of Ali and raised it and said:
"WHOEVER I AM HIS MASTER, ALI IS HIS MASTER (repeating three times). O
God! Love those who love him. Be hostile to those who are hostile to
him. Help those who help him. Forsake those who forsake him. And keep
the truth with him wherever he turns (i.e., make him the axis of the

His Messenger."
"O Folk! Verily Allah has appointed him to be your Imam and ruler.
Obedience of him is obligatory for all Immigrants (Muhajirin) and

is obligatory on everyone who believes in one God. Cursed is the man
who disobeys him, and blessed is the one who follows him, and he who
believes in him is a true believer. His WILAYAH (belief in his
mastery) has been made obligatory by Allah, the Powerful, the

replied: "Yes." The Prophet said: "O God! Bear witness."

The Meaning Wali, Mawla, and Wilayah: No Muslim scholar could ever cast any doubt in the documentation of the tradition of Ghadir Khum, for it has been narrated with as much as 150 authentic chains of transmitters by the Sunnis alone. A Mutawatir report is a report which has been narrated unbrokenly and independently by so many people so that no doubt can be entertained about their authenticity. Even the students of Ibn Taymiyyah such as al-Dhahabi and Ibn Kathir who have proven their enmity toward the Shia, emphasized that the tradition of Ghadir Khum is Mutawatir and Sahih (authentic) (See al-Bidayah wan Nihayah). However some people did try to interpret the tradition in a different way. They particularly tried
to translate the words WALI (master/guardian), MAWLA (master/leader), and WILAYAH (mastery/leadership/guardianship) as friend and friendship.
Some suggested that what really the Prophet (PBUH&HF) wanted to say was:
"Whoever I am his friend, Ali is his friend."
There was no doubt that Imam Ali had a very high status in comparison with all other people. He was the first male who embraced Islam (Sahih Tirmidhi, v5, p642; Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal v4, p317; Mustadrak by al- Hakim, v3, pp 111,136; Sirah Ibn Hisham, p345; Tabaqat by Ibn Sa'd, v3, p71,72; al-Istiab by Ibn Abd al-Bar, v3, p30). He received the title of
the "brother" of Prophet (Sahih Tirmidhi v5, p363; Sirah Ibn Hisham, p504; Tahdhib v4, p251). He was the one for whom Prophet said: "Loving Ali is believing, hating Ali is hypocrisy." (Sahih Muslim, v1, p48; Sahih Tirmidhi, v5, p643; Sunan Ibn Majah, v1, p142; Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal v1, pp 84,95,128). Thus it does not seem to be logical for the Prophet
(PBUH&HF) to keep more than a hundred thousand people in such unbeatable heat, and keep them waiting in such condition until those who have left
behind reach the place, and then all to tell them was that "Ali is the friend of believers!"
Also, as we quoted: Umar and Abu Bakr congratulated Ali
by saying: "Congratulations O son of Abu Talib! Today you became the MAWLA
of all believing men and women." If, here, the word MAWLA means friend
then why the congratulations? Was Ali the enemy of all believers before
that time, so that Umar said that this day you BECAME the friend of them?!
In fact, every WALI is a friend, but the reverse is not always true. This
is why the Arabs use "Wali al-Amr" for the rulers, meaning the master of
the affairs. Thus, logically speaking, the word MAWLA can not be
interpreted as friend, and we should rather use its other more-frequently-
used meanings which are Leader and Guardian.
Perhaps one would ask why Prophet didn't use other words to further explain
his intention. In fact, people asked him the same question, and the
following Sunni documentations are the answers of the Prophet (PBUH&HF):
1. When the Messenger of Allah (s) was asked about the meaning
of "whomever I am his MAWLA then Ali is his MAWLA". He said:
"Allah is my MAWLA more deserving of me (my obedience) than
myself, I do not dispute him. I am the MAWLA of the believers,
more deserving in them than themselves, they do not dispute me.
Therefore, whomever I was his MAWLA, more deserving in him
than himself (and) does not dispute me, then Ali is MAWLA,
more deserving in him than himself, he does not dispute him."

- Salwat al-'Arifin, by al-Muwaffaq billah, al-Husain Ibn Isma'il al
2. During the reign of Uthman, Ali protested by reminding people the
following tradition. Also, he reminded it again during the war of
When the Messenger of Allah spoke of (Tradition of Ghadir)...,
Salman stood up and said: "O' Messenger of Allah! What does WALAA
mean? and how?" Prophet replied: "The same way that I am your WALI
(Wala-un ka wala'i). Whomever (considered me) I was more deserving in
him than himself, then Ali is more deserving in him than himself."
Sunni reference: Fara'id al-Samtain, by Hamawaini (Abu Is'haq Ibrahim Ibn
Sa'd al-Din Ibn al-Hamawiyia), section 58.
3. Ali Ibn Abi Talib was asked about the saying of the Messenger
of Allah "Whomever I am his MAWLA then Ali is his MAWLA". He said:
"He erected me chief ['alaman]. To the time I am up there, whomever
contradicts me then he is lost (misguided in religion)."
Sunni reference: Zain al-Fata, by al-Hafiz al-'Asimi
4. On the commentary of Verse: "And stop them, they are to be asked
(Quran 37:24)", al-Daylami narrated that Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said: The
Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) said: "And stop them, they will be asked
of WILAYAH of Ali."
Also, al-Hafiz al-Wahidi commented on the above verse saying:
"This WILAYAH that the Prophet affirmed to Ali, will be asked
about on the Day of Judgment. It is said that WILAYAH is what Allah
meant in the verse 37:24 of Quran where He said: "And stop them, they
are to be asked [37:24]". This means that they will be asked about the
WILAYAH of Ali . The meaning is: They will be asked if they truly
accepted him as their WALI as they were instructed by the Prophet
? or did they loose and ignore it?"
Sunni references:

Countless scholars of Quran, Arabic grammar, and literature have
interpreted the word MAWLA as Awla which means "having more authority."
The following Sunni specialists all confirmed the above meaning:

Thus the word WALI or MAWLA in the tradition of Ghadir Khum does not mean a simple friend, rather it means master and guardian who has more authority over believers than what they have over themselves as Prophet himself mentioned by saying "Don't I have more authority (Awla) on believers than what they have over themselves?". At least 64 Sunni traditionists have
quoted this preceding question of the Prophet, among them are al-Tirmidhi, al- Nisa'i, Ibn Majah, Ahmad In Hanbal. Therefore, the opinion of the above Sunni scholars accords with what Prophet (PBUH&HF) said by using the word Awla before the word MAWLA. In fact, when a word has more than one meaning,
the best way to find out its true connotation is to look at the association (qarinah) and the context. The word Awla (having more authority) used by the Prophet gives a good association for the word MAWLA.
Also the prayer of Prophet after his declaration in which he said:
"O' God, love those who love him, and be hostile to those who are hostile to him. Help those who help him, and forsake those who forsake him", shows that Ali on that day was entrusted with a responsibility (rulership) which, by its nature, would make some people his enemy, and in carrying out that responsibility he would need some helpers and supporters.
Are helpers ever needed to carry on a "friendship"?
Moreover, The declaration of Prophet (PBUH&HF) that "It seems the time is approached when I will be called away (by Allah) and I will answer that
call" clearly shows that he was making arrangements for the leadership of Muslims after his death.
Also when at the end of his speech, the Prophet (PBUH&HF) said twice:
"Behold! Haven't I conveyed the message of Allah?" or "It is incumbent upon every one who is present to inform the absent for they may understand it better than those who are present" (Sahih al-Bukhari, Arabic-English, traditions 5.688, 7.458, and 9.539) shows that the Prophet was conveying a very important message which was going to be transferred to all coming
generations. This matter could not have been a simple friendship.
"ONLY Allah is your WALI, and His Messenger and those among
believers who keep alive prayer AND pay Zakat while they are in the
state of bowing." (Quran 5:55)
The above verse clearly suggests that NOT all the believers are our WALI
with the special meaning of WALI in this verse which is "master" and
"leader". Again, here it is clear that WALI does not mean just friend,
because all the
believers are friends of each other. The above verse mentions that only
three things are your special WALI: Allah, Prophet Muhammad, and Imam Ali
for he was the only one at the time of Prophet who paid Zakat while he was
in the state bowing (ruku'). Muslim scholars are unanimous in reporting
this event. Here are just some of the Sunni references which mentioned the
revelation of the above verse of Quran in the honor of Imam Ali:

The chains (asnad) of narrations of Ghadir Khum:
The importance of the tradition of Ghadir Khum in history is reflected in its widespread documentation and mentioned by the multitude of personalities over the centuries. Although, some trivialized, only listed the occurrence among the historical events without giving it a thought, or discussed the matter in a mixture of emotional judgments, none could deny the authenticity of these narrations. The essence of what the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) delivered on the day of Ghadir was not disputed among any, even if they disagreed on its interpretation, for reasons obvious to the alert.

The Companions who narrated the Tradition of Ghadir Khum:
At least 110 companions of the Prophet (PBUH&HF) narrated the tradition of Ghadir Khum. but i will just mention the name of the 2 caliphs with their references.
Abu Bakr Ibn Abi Qahafah al-Taymi (the First Caliph, d. 13):
* Ibn 'Uqdah, in "Hadith al-Wilayah";
* Abu Bakr Ju'abi, in "Nakhb al-Manaqib";
* al-Mansour al-Razi, in "al-Ghadir"
* Shams al-Din al-Jazri al-Shafi'i, in "Asna al-Matalib", p3.
'Umar Ibn al-Khattab (d. 23):
* Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, in "al-Manaqib";
* Muhib al-Din al-Tabari, in "al-Riyadh al-Nadhirah", v2, p161 & p244;
* al-Hafiz Ibn al-Maghazili al-Shafi'i, in "al-Manaqib":
Two narrations, one via Abu Hurairah, Umar Ibn al-Khattab said:
"The Messenger of Allah (s) said: Whomever I was his mawla then
Ali is his mawla."
* al-Khatib al-Khawarizmi, in "Maqtal al-Imam al-Sibt";
* Ibn Kathir, in "al-Bidayah wal Nihayah", v7, p349;
* Shams al-Din al-Jazri, in "Asna al-Matalib", p3;
so you see my brothers and sisters ,amongst all these companions the name of abubakr bin qahafa and umar bin khattab is also mentioned as those who narrated this tradition and they themselves were those who opposed this narration by their deeds.

I have had a lot of different doctors since moving to Clovis and Dr. Gonzales is excellent at his job. Not only does he take care of your immediate needs he is also concerned with other issues that may have an impact on your health and well being . He doesn't use jargon but can talk the talk if needed. Wait time is about 10 minutes and a very helpful staff that makes you feel important and won't misplace your file like my old doctors staff. He doesn't rush you or feel like you are wasting his time or put you down because you put on a few pounds.

My boyfriend has just purchased a Ural Gear-Up, and we are planning on using it for camping tours for base camping for multiple day hikes, or combined urban/hike trips. Any suggestions on gear that make camping a little more luxurious than our backpacking kit, but still are small and compact enough to not take up too much room? We have the trunk of the sidecar, the luggage rack on top of the sidecar, and a luggage rack on the back of the bike. Since we'll be carrying our backpacks anyway, it seems a bit silly to bring a whole 'nother camping kit, but my boyfriend at least wants a tent he can stand up in to put his pants on. Chairs would be nice, but food over and above our backpacking food means a bigger stove, a cooler, a bigger kit, more stuff--seems like complicating stuff to me. Maybe a lantern or lighting of some sort for camp, anything else?
I know nothing about Urals, other than what I've learned following Ara and Spirit on their lifelong journey together riding in a sidecar. They switched from a BMW to a Ural last year for their adventures. Lot's of info on his blog, fairly regular insight into cooking and living out of a Ural. Wish I could point you to a particular post, but he's a prolific blogger, so I just browse his posts when I remember to check in. There may be some info that helps you on his website:http://theoasisofmysoul.com/
BPers care about weight more than space.Bicycle campers care about both, but struggle more with volume.On 2 people on one motorcycle, you're insensitive to weight, but constrained on volume. Give up on the chairs, consider folding 3-leg stools. I doubt you need a bigger stove, pot, etc, but maybe you bring 2-3 nested pots so you can have multiple courses soaking, heating, and cooking off the burner all at once.Forget "lanterns", go multi-purpose with an LED flashlight that convert to a 360-degree lantern.A resource you have that BPers and bicyclists don't is a generous supply of 12-volt DC. Making it easy to recharge phones, tunes, lights, etc. Depending on the alternator sizing, you could consider a 12-volt coffee pot and make hot drinks and reconstitute soup as you drive. That's a huge time savings on the road and cheaper than stopping for coffee or lunch. Also, I often find my body cools off more while dicking around with the stove than I get back from a hot drink. But heating water as you go and you're no colder than you would have been anyway.It depends how much you want to extend your season, but electric suits add a lot of warmth. Even just a retro-fit, after-market 12-volt seat for the passenger makes a bigger difference - the driver exerts themselves more so the passenger can get colder more easily.
Actually, David, the Ural is a Russian-made bike based on a BMW model, but it is not a "modern" bike like a touring Gold Wing or a modern BMW would be. There is no 12 volt, it would have to be wired in, and my boyfriend is reluctant to do that. it's about 750 cc, and because it has the side car, its horsepower is "busy"--not a lot of extra capacity in terms of weight hauling.See, it *seems* like it should be more like car camping, but it still requires restraint in terms of weight and volume. We've done a little car camping, but not a lot, so I'm feeling my way between our backpacking kit, and the Cabela's/Coleman front country pack-the-car-to-the-gills gear extravaganza that most people seem to feel is necessary for car camping. We won't be hauling a screen house, nor a "camping kitchen", and for chairs I'm looking at REI's Flex Lite chair, which is 2 pounds, but collapses to 4" x 14"--gets you off the ground somewhat, but isn't a full-on chair that has to be strapped on.Bill and I are discussing whether we think we could take a cooler. He thinks it will take up way too much space. If there's a cooler, he can't fill it up with beer! If there isn't a cooler, though, that limits what fresh food you can carry, and you might as well be eating backpacking food and taking a much smaller cooking kit. I am going to insist on bowls and plates, though, rather than eating out of zip-lock bags. Otherwise, I'd just as soon use the same kit we use while backpacking, to limit how much we have to keep track of in camp. Thanks for the heads up on the Oasis blog, Eugene, I'll take a look at that and see what he does. Looks like his bike is pretty well loaded down.
Wow. So magneto-fired spark plugs? I know people up here in Alaska who fly in planes like that - no alternator, generator or battery. Hand-prop the engine, any comm or nav is handheld and battery-powered. Internal combustion as Henry Ford originally marketed it. And like my lawn mower and chainsaws.There are soft-sided coolers. They don't keep cold as long, but if you're on the highway system, you can have a day or two of cheese, dairy and cold beer by stopping by a hotel and refilling on ice. I can't see a rigid cooler with your space constraints, but the soft-sided one stows away much smaller when not in use, if you are only using it a day or two a week to have a treat and some variety in your menu.
I don't know the exact vintage of technology, but yes, spark plugs, although I think it does have an alternator. They are coming out next year with fuel injection, but the 2011 model does not have it. I've seen the soft-sided coolers, but haven't found one exactly as I want it. The Coleman coolers are too tall, and the Kelty ones have rigid top and bottom--although they do come with cup holders. Maybe this could be a MYOG opportunity? I have a roll of Reflectix around here somewhere....
A Ural, I have only seen one in my area and it has a sidecar. Neat, have fun. Think bping gear.Duane
Diane, do you know about these coolers, the Escape Pods? They actually work pretty well. They don't collapse though, and they're not waterproof (I line it with a gallon Ziploc freezer bag). Have a look, maybe it will give you an idea of what to do with all that Reflectix you have lying around, somewhere...http://www.simpleoutdoorstore.com/escape_pod_cooler.html
If it has an alternator and not a magneto or generator, it must have a battery. And the alternator has some output measured in amps. Intermittent use of a heater element that pulls less than that could work.I find conflicting info on the web. Here's a site:http://www.betterbikes.com.au/ural-motorcycles.htmlthat says the Ural's alternator does 55 amps at 14 volts but says that is 300 watts. At least one of those numbers is wrong. But it does seem to have battery and alternator of some size. I was amused by Ural's own suggestions for the spares you should carry with you:Minimum: a pair of spark plugs, clutch cable, a COMPLETE set of throttle cables and splitter, at least one rubber carb manifold, 1 rubber inner tube, a tube patch kit, tire pump manual or electric, small jack, a roll of electrical tape, a roll of duct tape, a bunch of wire ties, a COMPLETE tool kit, some 14 gauge electrical wire (10 ft), fuses, credit card and towing insurance policy never hurt."Zen and the art of motorcycle camping"!Many grocery stores now sell insulated carry bags (next to the reusable grocery bags). You're in Western Washington? Certainly Trader Joe's does. For maybe $12. Start with that and make a reflectix cozy for it if you want to last longer.On a smaller scale (and totally leakproof), get a dry bag. Either a old-fashioned heavy, thick one or a new, light, sil-nylon one. Even Walmart carries Outdoor Products sil-nylon dry bags. Tape together a reflectic cozy to fit the full dry bag. That would pack very small when not in use. And could double as a pillow.
"the Ural's alternator does 55 amps at 14 volts but says that is 300 watts. At least one of those numbers is wrong."The individual numbers may each be correct as maximums, but they are not concurrently correct. In other words, you can't get 55 amps at 14 volts at the same time, but it may be prepared to give either of those two maximums at any instant.--B.G.--
As far as the numbers go, you've got me--I never could wrap my head around electrical stuff, it's a magical mystery to me. I know it has a battery, Bill has a battery maintainer for it, it just doesn't have a 12 volt plug-in feature for running accessories. Thanks for the reminder of the Escape Pod, Gary, I think I've seen that somewhere before, but I forgot. We once met a bike-touring guy in a little convenience store outside of Lake Quinault, who was buying beer. When we asked what he was going to do with it, he said "I'm going to put it in my Adventure Box--I built it so it would carry a 6-pack!" We've looked for an Adventure BOx on the web, but never could find what he meant, but I did see Escape Pods, which looked like they'd be cool, but we couldn't reckon on carrying them on a backpacking trip.As for tools, you should see the tool kit they sell with this thing, David! Bill says he could just about rebuild the engine with it. So, either they plan on you being in rugged out-of-the-way places and having to be totally self-sufficient (possible)--or they are expecting it to break down often enough to need the tools!The grocery cooler bag, or the stuff sack idea with Reflectix is an interesting one--then at least I could make it to the size and shape that would be most convenient for us, including taking advantage of weird curved spaces in the sidecar trunk.
I once owned a Time Out tent trailer that I towed behind my '77 Honda CB750. Turns into a tent you can stand up inside, folded up I carried a cooler in it, or sometimes on top strapped to the luggage rack. Even took it on a coast to coast trip in 1979. Lots of camping trips too.
After seeing how much space the tonneau cover and our riding gear takes up in the trunk, I've resigned myself to not taking much more than we would backpacking. Bill still hasn't given up the dream of a larger tent that we can stand up in, but I'm skeptical myself. I'm thinking a canister stove (I cook on alcohol usually), and a Grilliput, so we can do foil packet cooking over a campfire may be the increased "kitchen" tools, and actual bowls/plates to eat out of instead of FBC--might be a reason for the squishable bowls and plates, we'll see. The Escape Pods are about as much "cooler" as we'll be able to haul, and if I freeze water in empty Gatorade bottles will do double duty for drinking water, but still will have the Sawyer along, depending on where we camp. Maybe an actual camp sink/bucket, although this might be a good opportunity for Doug's Cuben fiber sink!Interesting about the trailer tent, Nick, I'll have to suggest that to Bill. Who knows if they still make those, though?
Yes they still make them. Do a Google search. What I liked about the trailer hitch (unlike a lot of other motorcycle trailers) is the unique coupler. Basically designed like a ball joint in a car. You can lean the motorcycle and the joint turns with the bike, but the trailer just follows behind. We didn't have electric brakes on the trailer -- don't know if they made them. But you need to re-learn braking. On gravel roads or roads with dirt and debris on them you need to start braking with the rear brake, then the front. If you grab a handful of front brake you WILL go down.Don't ask how I know this :)Edited for grammar. Probably more errors. I am dumber than my iPad.

How to have that perfect look for Valentine's Day
Looking forward to that special outing with your sweeties on Valentine's Day? Got that dress in place, the makeup, but still in knots about what to do with your hair?
Worry not, as according to Rod Anker, Director Monsoon Salon and Spa and Vogue's Colorist of the Year, the ideal look for Valentine's Day, or any day, is individualistic.
Anker said that up-style is always in vogue and now it's getting warmer, adding that everyone should try to do it more often, by being experimental this season with keeping the hair up and remember not to make it too formal.
Priyanka Borkar, Priyanka Chopra's hairstylist said that romantic hair is one that doesn't make you look like you've tried too hard. Whether curly or straight, braided or in a bun - it must be you.

Thread Starter
Dominicans are the only ones who touch my hair here in the US (I'm from Jamaica)...I go to school in Gainesville, FL which is Hicksville so I don't go to any salons here both black or white. Even though my hair is relaxed, my hair seems to be too thick/long for black hairdressers and they always want to do weird stuff to me like line my hairline up (lol i'm not a boy) or apply massive amts of gel or hair oil to my hair (eww) so not unless someone of Caribbean descent (who'll understand my hair) opens a salon here in Gainesville then I shall continue driving all the way to Orlando to my girl Belgica of Salon Dominicano. And they do speak English there but thats not really a problem since I'm of Cuban (father) descent also...Yeah they use alot of heat but since it's so far I only go every 3 months when I go relax my hair and my hair looks AMAZING afterwards
I prefer to patronize my own people. I am African-American. I find that the Dominican Salons apply to much heat to the hair. The African-American salons put more of an emphasis on the ideal of caring for the hair and they use upscale products where the Dominican salons normally do not.
I currently toggle between Luisa's in Silver Spring and a black salon (MiToni).
Both use quality products (I ask what's being used and then I google the products)and both maintain my hair to my satisfaction.
As far as patronizing your own people. I feel that each person should patronize whoever can achieve your hair styling requirements, no matter the race.
Both my salons charge the same 35.00 for a roller wrap and both get me in and out in less than 2 hours.
So I guess it all just depends on your needs, likes & dislikes
do you prefer to patronize your own people based on nationality?because most dominicans are just as black as AA.yeah some don't admit to this and some hate that we look alike but the only difference is culturally and language.
for this reason they need our support just as much as a black salon does.imo.
If the salon has Stylist of all races, then what color label does that salon get? I hate to be an ass, but when did salons start getting named based on race? I've been to salons where there are all ethnicities of stylist. If your a true stylist you should be able to style any type of hair regardless of the color of your client. At least that's the way i was taught back in cosmetology school. As a stylist you should broaden the spectrum and perfect your craft by learning how to style different types of hair and also learning different methods for treating all hair types. Just my 2 cents!

hmmm..at work bored so I clicked this thread cause I hear of these salons but unfortuantely in my part of the south there are none..but I noticed folks was talking about patronizing ur own...
actually I go to a black stylist who doesn't use gel..my hair is healthy, not overprocessed or any of that..she does my relaxer, rinse..and rolller wraps are really popular down here..and I find my hair does better with one..but she has helped my hair to grow and almost cut me when I wanted her to cut it into a bob..lol!
At home I only use Organic Root Stimulator products cause I know that works best for my hair...I don't flat iron it or curl it a lot at home harldy ever...I have had this hair all my life so I should know it by now and I know what will & won't work for me....
It's not about the race but just knowing that ur stylist knows what they are doing, check out their products and telling them what u do/don't like...my stylist knows I have thick sideburns so she knows to line me up...but some women don't like that...u have to know ur hair..imo...
But if we ever get a Dominican salon..I would try it for the hype, if they know what they are doing

Goa Police grill Tejpal for 90 minutes
Former Tehelka Editor-in-Chief and sexual assault accused Tarun Tejpal was questioned by the Crime Branch of Goa police for over one and a half hours on Friday.
Tejpal emerged out of the Crime Branch office at around 9:10 pm accompanied by his lawyers and brothers but refused to speak to the media.
He was brought to CB minutes after he landed at Dabolim airport early evening where he faced protests.
The Goa Police accompanied him to the Crime Branch office.
Meanwhile, the sessions court has concluded hearing his bail plea and adjourned it for further hearing for Saturday.
His interim relief was extended till Saturday morning.
However, the judge, reportedly rejected all major arguments offered by Tejpal's lawyers as they petitioned for his bail.
The judge also censured them for naming the woman reporter who was allegedly assaulted. The court also failed to remain impressed with the defence claiming the case was hatched as a part of political conspiracy.
Advocate Geeta Luthra, representing Tarun Tejpal in the North District and Sessions Court, disclosed the identity of the victim twice in the open court while arguing for his anticipatory bail.
Special Public Prosecutor Saresh Lotlikar took serious objection of the matter.
Principal Sessions Judge Anuja Prabhudesai pulled up the advocate after which she had to apologize.
"It looks as if she (victim) is being made an accused... This will not be tolerated," the judge warned.
Tejpal earlier speaking to reporters said,"I am not running away from law. I got the summons yesterday. I am going to Goa to join probe."
Tejpal on Friday was granted interim protection by the court of Principal and Sessions Judge in Panjim.
Principal and Sessions judge Anuja Prabhudesai granted interim protection to Tejpal.
He was directed to furnish a bail bond of Rs 20,000.
This means he was not supposed to be arrested till 2:30 pm on Friday.
The lawyers appearing for Tejpal earlier argued before the court that he is ready to cooperate with the police and arrest will not serve the purpose.
They also argued that the summons reached late night and it was not feasible for him to reach Goa in such a short time.
Meanwhile, the young woman jounalist, who has alleged that she was sexually assaulted by her ex-employer Tejpal, on Friday said her body is not a plaything.
"Unlike Mr. Tejpal, who is fighting to protect his wealth, his influence and his privilege, I am fighting to preserve nothing except for my integrity and my right to assert that my body is my own and not the plaything of my employer," the journalist said in a statement issued on Friday.
"By filing my complaint, I have lost not just a job that I loved, but much-needed financial security and the independence of my salary. I have also opened myself to personal and slanderous attack. This will not be an easy battle," she said.
The woman said what Tejpal did to her fell within the legal definition of rape.
"Perhaps the hardest part of this unrelentingly painful experience has been my struggle with taxonomy. I don't know if I am ready to see myself as a 'rape victim', for my colleagues, friends, supporters and critics to see me thus.
"It is not the victim that categorizes crimes: it is the law. And in this case, the law is clear: what Mr. Tejpal did to me falls within the legal definition of rape," she said.
The victim said her complaint was not part of a pre-election political conspiracy.
"I am deeply concerned and very disturbed by insinuations that my complaint is part of a pre-election political conspiracy. I categorically refute such insinuations," she said.

When Brazilian exchange student Fernando Teixeira arrived in Barnstable at the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year he was understandably nervous, unsure of what to expect.
Because of the warmth, kindness and hospitality of two host families, and the teachers and students at Barnstable High School, when Teixeira returns home at the end of June it will be with a wealth of happy memories and a fondness for Cape Cod in his heart.
If only his experience were the same for all those visiting this well-known locale. Unfortunately, a recent occurrence proved to me that such a truth remains elusive.
As I was heading home from Barnstable's graduation late in the afternoon of June 12, I traveled along Route 28 from Hyannis into Yarmouth. Still playing over the stirring ceremony, I absentmindedly noticed three young bicyclists making their way along the opposite side of the road.
Suddenly, the cyclist in the lead stopped short, unbeknownst to the young woman in the middle, who was thrown into a significant crash. Thankfully, though she fell into the street, it was during a large enough gap in traffic that cars were able to stop so that she was not hit.
Her movements, seen in my rear-view mirror, told me she was hurt.
After hesitating a moment, wondering if anyone had stopped to offer assistance, I turned around in a parking lot and drove back, first-aid kit and cell phone at the ready.
I found the trio sitting alone on a grassy spot near where the girl had crashed. When I asked if the girl was all right, I was initially greeted with confused, wary looks.
As soon as they realized I was there to help, however, they relaxed some. I grabbed my little first-aid kit and joined them on the grass, quickly setting to work taking care of the nasty scrape on the girl's palm.
While I worked at cleaning the wound and putting on a Band-aid, they spoke with one another in a language I recognized but couldn't speak.
"Russian?" I asked.
"Yes, yes!" they answered happily.
"Welcome," I said, offering a smile. The small group immediately filled the air with thank-yous and gratitude for my help.
Just then, the pleasantness of our moment was shattered by an unkind shout from a passing car.
"Go home, you Russian fags!" came the jeer.
Unable to contain my disgust, I responded with a sharp, "Shut up!"
My Russian companions hadn't heard the comment and asked what was said. I chose not to repeat it, only telling them that it was unkind.
"Yeah," said the lone male. "We get that a lot."
I finished tending to the wound and asked if there were any others before returning to my car and, ultimately, my own little world.
The young man's words stayed with me: "We get that a lot."
Why? Why do they get insulted a lot? What gives people the right to be unkind? I believe it all comes down to fearing that which we as people do not understand.
We create our own realities based on our personal fears of the unknown. In them, the silent, unsmiling waitress is intentionally rude. The checkout kid at Stop and Shop is a thug. The innocent bicyclists on Route 28 need to go back to where they came from.
What if those aren't the realities? What if the waitress isn't really rude, but instead is painfully shy as she struggles to learn a new language and the customs of a country she was forced by circumstance to come to in order to earn some semblance of a living?
What if the checkout kid is battling depression, made worse by bullying at home, at school, or both?
What if the innocent bicyclists came to this country to gain a better understanding of another culture, thus broadening their minds in order to be well-rounded citizens of Earth?
We're human. We've all been in that place of assuming things about others that are probably not true. After all, you know what they say about assume, right?
With that, I encourage you, each of you: the next time you encounter a situation that challenges your perceptions of others, pull back. Pull back far enough to realize that ultimately we are all part of one race – the human race.
Then think about how you'd like someone in a foreign country to treat you, a newcomer struggling to learn and understand.
Finally, remember that each one of us is an ambassador of our own town, our own state, our own country. Think of the differences between Fernando Teixeira's experience, and that of the Russian youths I met in Yarmouth. How would you prefer your home area be represented?
As Mohandas Gandhi said so eloquently, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

And with the volunteers a foot from them, the police strike with their lathis (batons). A groan of empathic anguish from the waiting volunteers, but then ... the next row moves forward and the horror of the one-sided mayhem proceeds - heads are cracked, faces split, ribs smashed, and yet one row of volunteers follows another, and another into the unrelenting police, who knock bleeding bodies out of the way, down into the dip, swing till sweat pours from their faces and bodies.And through it ... the Indian women rescuing the wounded, carrying them on stretchers to be bandaged ... And always the volunteers coming, never stopping, never offering resistance.
Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but may have eternal life.

Video: Felicia Day Plays (Dragon Age) With Herself
- 11.29.11
This is almost certainly the most fun you'll ever have watching someone else play a video game. It's Felicia Day playing the Dragon Age II: Mark of the Assassin DLC, which features the character Tallis — her character from the Dragon Age: Redemption web series — who was created from face and motion capture of her and for whom she provides the voice. I won't say more about the video for fear of ruining the fun.
If you haven't yet, listen to my interview with Day from two weeks ago when the Dragon Age: Redemption finale aired.
Matt Blum is the Managing Editor of GeekDad. He lives in Northern Virginia with his wife and two kids, all of whom are also geeks. In his day job Matt is a software engineer, and his many geeky interests include science fiction, the Muppets, LEGO, board games, video games, and bacon.

Barca cut down on bidding amount post Suarez WC bite shame
Barcelona has reportedly reduced its bid for Luis Suarez from 80 million pounds to 50 million pounds.
Suarez is facing a lengthy ban from FIFA after his bust-up with Chiellini as TV pictures show him taking a bite out of the defender's shoulder mid-match, the Mirror reported.
Now, Barcelona believes that they could get him for 50 million Pounds as he is 'damaged goods' and unable to play until the end of October.
Meanwhile, Uruguayan FA president Wilmar Valdez said that he has seen more aggressive incidents recently but it is a severe punishment.

Movember Greatness
TORONTO, ON -- With the flipping of a the
calendar to November comes the grand tradition of men telling their
girls that things may get a little hairy for a month.
Movember, as it has become known so
affectionately, for those who don't know, is a month-long sojourn of
facial grooming in hopes of raising money and awareness for male
specific health concerns.
After all, men are always looking for an
excuse to put the razor down for a little while, hence playoff beards,
and this gives them a story to tell the lady.
To those members of the fairer sex who
don't appreciate the bristle of the beard, I'm sorry, but be prepared
to hear a lot of, "I can't shave this month, but I'm doing it for a
great cause."
To mark this month-long event, I'll be
looking at the some of the best facial hair in today's NHL in this
week's article, and maybe even highlight a few looks that will tickle
her fancy.
Zetterberg, Detroit Red Rings
"The Viking"
Many believe that Hank, like Samson and
his lochs before him, actually gets his superhuman powers from his
finely groomed facial follicles.
Hank's beard goes through a season long
maintenance, normally culminating with a growth during an extended
playoff run.
One look at Zetterberg and you are left
with no doubt of his Viking heritage. Would you really want to mess
with a beard like that? Go-ahead Mr. Zetterberg, take the puck, we all
know you're more of a man than most.
Brown, Toronto Maple Leafs
"The Hulkamaniac"
Sporting a moustache that would make
mountain lions purr, Brown is a true
throwback to the Wendel Clark era Maple Leafs. So popular has the Cult
of Brown grown to become that there is a thread on
the Maple Leafs website dedicated to
Brown and his legendary whiskers.
Some things in life deserve a slow clap;
this legendary duster (the 'stache, not Brown) is one of them.
Parros, Anaheim Ducks
"The Yosemite Sam"
What would a list of moustaches that
currently grace NHL rinks be without George Parros?
While the Ducks dropped their "mighty"
adjective a few years back, one could certainly describe Parros'
soup-strainer as just that.
Parros brought the moustache back to
hockey when nobody wanted to touch it, and has firmly planted himself
behind only Lanny MacDonald when it comes to famous hockey 'staches.
Rumor has it that growing up, George and his brother used to have
moustache-growing contests. George, I think you've won. By the way,
hockey fan, not only is that moustache probably bigger than yours, but
it's probably also smarter than yours; it attended Princeton.
Quenneville, Chicago Blackhawks
"The Boss"
Coach Q's moustache is no nonsense. He
keeps it right and keeps it tight. Where Parros and Brown may do it
with a level of tongue in cheek humor, Quenneville's 'stache is
strictly business.
While coaching the Blackhawks to the
Stanley Cup last season, Quenneville's moustache helped to guide the
ship, giving the players a sense of who was really the boss in the
room. Quenneville's thicket of upper lip foliage also is great for
keeping him warm on those cold windy city nights.
Jokinen, Calgary Flames
"The Olli"
Jokinen has been around the NHL in the
last couple years, but everywhere he goes a version of his moustache
seems to make an appearance. Most recently in his prodigal-son-like
return to Calgary, Jokinen's facial hair has been all that is
recognizable of the enigmatic center. He hasn't been putting up
points, and he changed his number; maybe it's time Olli tries to
change his luck by ridding himself of the moustache mayhem. Olli,
moustache rides aren't for everybody.
For those readers unable to grow facial
hair that measures up to the high standards set by Parros (so
basically all of us), here are a couple "weaker" beards that you may
draw inspiration from this month:
Toews, Chicago Blackhawks
"The Wraparound"
Every April, Toews decides to show off his chops and last year those
chops were good enough for a Conn Smythe Trophy. If you're shy of
letting the upper lip run wild, the Toews-inspired mutton chops may
just be the facial hair for you. In order to fully complete The
Wraparound, be sure to leave some under-chin growth to connect those
chops together.
Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins
"The I-Wish-My-Beard-Didn't-Suck"
I have no words to describe this poor
excuse of facial hair. None.
(Week Ending Sunday, October 31)
Forward of the Week
Thornton, C, San Jose Sharks
2GP, 3G, 5A, 8 Points, +6
Jumbo Joe put up some jumbo numbers in his two games this week, even
though he did it against two of the worst teams in the league, New
Jersey and Anaheim.
Back on a line with Dany Heatley and
Patrick Marleau, Thornton proved that a balanced attack doesn't mean
much if all of your lines are balanced in not producing. Two games
with the his old-new linemates and San Jose's offense is at full
throttle once again.
Close Second: Chris Stewart, RW, Colorado Avalanche -- 3GP, 4G,
2A, 6 Points, +2
Defenseman of the Week
Keith, D, Chicago Blackhawks
3GP, 1G, 6A, 7 Points, +3
Keith had a huge three games for the Hawks, leading all players in
scoring for that time period. The Winnipeg, Manitoba native's first of
the season was a game winner against the Minnesota Wild in a game
where he was named the first star.
Goalie of the Week
Tim Thomas, G, Boston Bruins
Thomas wins Goalie of the Week honors twice in a row, thanks to not
allowing a goal in either of his two starts.
Thomas's production of late has him in the
early MVP talks and might be able to push the Bruins back towards the
top of the Eastern Conference, a place they held for much of the
2008-2009 season.
Tweet of the Week
@GaetanoTFP - As the name suggests The Fourth Period's own Gaetano
"The NHL's slogan this year is questions will be answered. Answer this
– When will the #NHL find good refs."
MVP Watch
1. Steven Stamkos, C, Tampa Bay Lightning
Until Stamkos stops scoring at a two-point per-game clip and the
Lightning stops winning games, he will continue to hold the top spot
in the MVP Watch pretty securely.
2. Tim Thomas, G, Boston Bruins
Season line: 6GP, 6W, .984 SV%, 0.50 GAA. 3 SO, 1 awesome bucket.
3. Patrick Sharp, C/RW, Chicago Blackhawks
Sharp leads the NHL with 10 goals and three game winners; you don't
get much more valuable than that. Sharp broke out in the playoffs last
year scoring at a point-a-game pace; this year he is already at 15
points in 12 games. The loss of Marian Hossa to injury may hurt his
numbers, but it may also allow him to prove just how valuable to this
under-performing Blackhawk team he really is.
4. Chris Stewart, RW, Colorado Avalanche
Stewart has put up great numbers so far this year, moving himself into
second behind Steven Stamkos in the Art Ross race. With Craig Anderson
out with an injury, more pressure will be put on the young winger and
his fellow young Avs.

Delsym is the only thing that works to stop my 5 year old daughter's cough. My daughter has post nasal drip from allergies and she can be fine all day, but when she lays down to go to sleep she starts coughing. The cough can get so bad, it forces her to throw up. Delsym is the only thing that stops the cough and lets her sleep all night. It has a bad taste, but she's gotten used to it, and she can sleep all night without coughing. I highly reccomend it!
It works well and I stop coughing when I sleep.
One of the few over the counter medicines for someone like myself who has asthma & lung problems. Great item to always have in your home.
