In short, a nuclear power plant is a large boiler. Boiling water heated up to 270 degrees Celsius goes to the reactor where it cools fuel rods with pellets of uranium inside. It goes out with a temperature of 276 degrees Celsius. Part of this water evaporates and the steam rotates the turbines. This is how electricity is produced.
Let's visit the only nuclear power plant built under the conditions of the permafrost. It is located in Bilibino, the Chukchi Autonomous District.

Capita Devours Everything As 2012 Battle Of The Brands Champion With BOTB PTSD starting to set in Snowboarder Magazine would like to congratulate the Capita Super Corporation for devouring everything in our 2012 Battle Of The Brands Superpark 16 video showdown. Through two months of fierce digital democracy the Capita corps carried momentum from one head-to-head bout to the next leaving formidable foes like Nike, Smokin' and Thirtytwo in their wake. The week long finals against the enviro crusaders of Arbor was a media melee for the ages with 7878 votes cast to decide which team from Superpark 16 will be enjoying the spoils of Squid Roe while partaking in the first place prize of a trip for 5 to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Arbor's Battle Of The Brands entry and social push seemed unstoppable as the nearly six minute long edit rolled past Bataleon, K2 and Volcom to the final matchup. Despite Scott Vine's one-footers on hundred-footers, Erik Leon's irie ollie's and arguably the best execution of the snake run slush slash follow cam of the whole event Arbor's submission ultimately succumbed to Capita's creation. Defenders Of Awesome Brendan Gerhard, Durrell Williams, Kyle Fisher, Brendon Rego, Andrew Burns, Garett Warnick, Phil Jacques, Brandon Cocard, Jess Kimura, and Dustin Craven performed for the lens of Mark Dangler at Mt Bachelor last Spring with pure style and intense ability resulting in an edit that is proper from start to finish. Behind the scenes Capita's director of Product Development and US Marketing Manager Sean Tedore mobilized the FK'n faithful to watch, vote and rally others for support en masse. For the 2012 Superpark 16 Battle of The Brands video showdown Capita came to the table with the complete package and is most deserving of first place and the free trip for 5 to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico that accompanies the title! Snowboarder wishes to salute the 16 companies who took part in the Battle Of The Brands as well as the riders, filmers and supporters who created spectacular videos and were eager to lobby for and broadcast their ballots. Furthermore Snowboarder would also like to thank Gatorade and Mt. Bachelor as well as all of the riders, builders, media representatives and companies who made Superpark 16 a success.

Black enjoys using shadows to their fullest, which gives his work the characteristic "noir" look. Another favorite trick is rim lighting. By hitting the subject with light from behind, Black is able to give his subjects better definition against the shadows. He points out that when using rim lighting with such long exposures, it's important to avoid lens flares by not pointing light directly into the lens, which can be hard to do when working with so many different light sources.
Black performs selective image enhancements to fine-tune his images once the exposures have been made. His favorite tools in Photoshop are Lasso and Curves for performing changes as needed to color, exposure and contrast. He selects a high amount of feathering so that these changes are extremely gradual transitions. Using so many different types of lights presents a lot of white-balance challenges, as well. He solves many of them by using filters and gels over his lights. He fixes the rest by using localized white-balance adjustments to select areas of the photo.
EXTENSIVE EXPOSURESBlack shoots primarily with a Hasselblad H3D-39, which he says is a great system for keeping noise minimal during such long exposures. He has found that tonal transitions are much better with a medium-format camera, too, which is especially important when dealing with a large dynamic range. Black primarily uses a wide-angle Hasselblad HCD 4/28 lens and an HC 4/120 macro lens, and he also has an HTS 1.5 tilt/shift adapter for adding a distinctive wide-angle feel to the perspective. He prefers to leave his Hasselblad at his studio, though, so he'll work with a Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III in the field. He also keeps a Canon EOS 5D with him at all times.
When Black was shooting film, it was a system of learning from his mistakes, but he notes that for digital photographers, it's a much easier process, thanks to instant review. After shooting this way for so long, it has become an intuitive process for him, but for beginners, Black recommends starting at a shorter exposure of about 15 seconds or so and then experimenting with longer exposures as you go.
Portraiture is a little tougher because it's hard for people to hold still for a few seconds, let alone for 20-minute and up exposures. Black solves this problem by strobing the subject with a flash to make sure he or she stays sharp in the image. He'll gel his flash with an 85A or 85B filter to warm the light output to match the scene, and since he's painting in most of the image gradually, it's not even necessary for subjects to be in the frame until they're needed. Then they can walk in when Black wants them to, and he can even paint them in instead of using flash if that's the desired effect he's going for.
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?To Black, his unique low-key, dark style is all about showing the viewer a world where light has a life of its own. His long exposures enhance the color palette of his images, and for him, photography is all about lighting.
"In my images," Black concludes, "I'm trying to make people see that the light is coming from within the image and out towards the camera. I try to make it seem like my subjects are emitting the light."

To touch on what jrs.landscaping said, you need to know the laws, that under the table guy gets hurt and doesn't have workmanship comp you can very easily get ******. When you brake laws such as tax evasion you open your self up, you will have no protection if an injured employee brings suit against you. Insurance won't cover it, being an llc or corp won't protect you from losing your house even your wife's savings. Here's what is often a problem other people have, fire that under the table employee because he sucks at his job or even steals from you. If he tries to file unemployment then the state will find out you are hiring illegally. Many states will come in and hit you with still penalties, which are usually high enough to drain a small/medium landscapers saving causing them to sell off their equipment, truck, trailer to pay it.
Why do people not respect us as they do other tradesmen? Because every Tom, Dick, and Harry doesn't think he can be a plumber or electrician!

Poem Title:
I want you to continue writing because I will not always be around With lips that will never touch mine read your poems out loud so that the words are left engraved on the wall make me feel your voice rush through me like a breeze from Oyá I want to hear about Puerto Rico about sisters with names like La Bruja about educating youth about AIDS I want to hear about life in the Boogie Down Bronx surviving on the Down Low don't leave out stories about men you have loved and still love I want you to write poems that you will never read press hard on the paper so that the ink runs deep hold the pen tight so that you control the details prove to me that I inspire you reveal yourself between the lines hear my praise with each flicker of the candle Write a poem for me Do not choose a fresh page from a brand new journal use paper that has been crumbled and tossed thrown out by a spineless father only to be recycled Save a tree for future poets to write under Rewrite me into someone more attractive stronger than life has made me make me tough and sexy, aggressive like a tiger stain the pages with cum, lube, the arousal you find at the sight of naked boys, draw me sketches bring the words to life with images make me a man with this poem Read it in front of the audience with hidden messages just for me be real and tell me why I am only worth a haiku Your epics are meant for others I already know, use red ink to match the blood from these wounds with brutal honesty let me die with your last sentence Then resurrect me with rhyme read from your gut let me hear the wisdom of mi abuelo in your voice let me find my father in you remind me of all the men that left me broken promises In your eyes I want to see a poem when you bring me to tears with painful memories buried beneath your thick skin Between teeth gapped like divas, I want to hear quotes from books I never read Make me believe you want to be a poet Make my heart break, tell me why you could never love me with just a few words leave me lost and insecure feel the admiration of others bask in their desire forget that I am there Pound your fists in the air with passion go off about politics, poverty, machismo and hate scream poems that don't give a fuck about traditions, slamming or scores save your whispers for those who make love to you Write a poem for me that makes me want to puff a joint A poem that loses control unafraid to be vulnerable for once just make me believe it is all worth letting go when the smoke clears I will understand the reason I am just another face in the crowd I want you to continue writing because I will not always be around

What is the official name of the ARID1A gene?
The official name of this gene is "AT-rich interaction domain 1A."
ARID1A is the gene's official symbol. The ARID1A gene is also known by other names, listed below.
Read more about gene names and symbols on the About page.
What is the normal function of the ARID1A gene?
The ARID1A gene provides instructions for making a protein that forms one piece (subunit) of several different SWI/SNF protein complexes. SWI/SNF complexes regulate gene activity (expression) by a process known as chromatin remodeling. Chromatin is the network of DNA and protein that packages DNA into chromosomes. The structure of chromatin can be changed (remodeled) to alter how tightly DNA is packaged. Chromatin remodeling is one way gene expression is regulated during development; when DNA is tightly packed, gene expression is lower than when DNA is loosely packed.
Through their ability to regulate gene activity, SWI/SNF complexes are involved in many processes, including repairing damaged DNA; copying (replicating) DNA; and controlling the growth, division, and maturation (differentiation) of cells. The ARID1A protein and other SWI/SNF subunits are thought to act as tumor suppressors, which keep cells from growing and dividing too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way.
The ARID1A subunit is able to attach (bind) to DNA and is thought to help target SWI/SNF complexes to the chromatin location that needs to be remodeled.
How are changes in the ARID1A gene related to health conditions?
Where is the ARID1A gene located?
Cytogenetic Location: 1p35.3
Molecular Location on chromosome 1: base pairs 26,696,031 to 26,782,110
(Homo sapiens Annotation Release 107, GRCh38.p2) (
The ARID1A gene is located on the short (p) arm of chromosome 1 at position 35.3.
More precisely, the ARID1A gene is located from base pair 26,696,031 to base pair 26,782,110 on chromosome 1.
See How do geneticists indicate the location of a gene? in the Handbook.
Where can I find additional information about ARID1A?
You and your healthcare professional may find the following resources about ARID1A helpful.
You may also be interested in these resources, which are designed for genetics professionals and researchers.
What other names do people use for the ARID1A gene or gene products?
See How are genetic conditions and genes named? in the Handbook.
Where can I find general information about genes?
The Handbook provides basic information about genetics in clear language.
These links provide additional genetics resources that may be useful.
What glossary definitions help with understanding ARID1A?

Why replace your factory radio?
Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car.
JVC Arsenal KD-AR860 Reviews
Average Customer Review:
pleased customer
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I had been looking at new radios for my Chevy Silverado so that I could add satellite radio in the future, and not have another tuner/display in the truck. I am very picky about the interior, and wanted something that would blend in well.
This JVC fits the bill perfectly. I have had it in the truck for a week now, and am still learning how to operate it with the extensive menu's.
I like the fact that now I can carry most of my CD's in the truck now by burning them to MP3's, so that I have less clutter in the truck. It is very neat that I can change the colors of the display to fit my mood, or the time of day; and add different pictures and movies to the radio to play. The sound controls are perfect for good sound quality.
I am so impressed, that now I am looking at a CD changer to put in the truck now.
The only things that I can say that don't impress me much are the radio tuner and the remote to the radio. The radio tuner is good, but I feel like it doesn't pick up stations as well as the factory radio that I took out of the truck. The remote only works from a couple of feet away from the deck; I think it would be nice if it reached from a few feet away from the outside of the truck, but that is not too important.
Crutchfield gave me all of the tools that I needed to install the new radio. All-in-all it took me approx 45 minutes to install.

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I went into my sound improvement project wanting a decent head unit, speakers, etc. Look at and comparing good stuff like RMS power, preamp voltage/outputs, screen display, EQ, sensitivity, warranty, etc. I had 3 head units narrowed down (below). Keep in mind I intended on installing Sirius from the start and the JVC's display beat 'em all (the Kenwoods don't like sunlight). The JVC's display is awesome with it's options and clarity for all sources and the SQ output is tops baby.

Kenwood Excelon KDC-X789
Search the web and do both cost and SQ/options comparisons and you'll find for the $ the JVC Arsenal 860 is hands down the best in SQ, build quality, and options. The Kenwood x789 is nice, just not $100 more nice and I've seen the display caught in sunlight...ughh.
Kudos to Crutchfield for awesome product, service, and delivery. Remember Crutchfield supplies everything. Add it all up and Crutchfield is on par with $ and great with service.
JVC Arsenal KD-AR860
My brother brought this unit and say to me what i think about it. Well in order to comment on this unit i thought i should post it on Crutchfield's review. after spending a lot of time going through the unit and the option it offer, i finally decide to give it 3 stars.
The deck has a moterize face at a affordable price which most brand dont offer. the screen is cool that i can change the color to match my dash but dont like the color of the button (red), wish it could be blue or green.
I know that jvc is trying to design a unit that have even number of buttons on both sides of the face..follow the old pionner tradition. locating the up/down, forward/back (left) and menu (right) is the primary way to access option on the unit. this is pretty stupid because you have to move you hand left and right to access where you want to go. With only 3 eq curve, u cant do much with the unit then just adjusting the low/mid/high. like most deck with subwoffer control, there is no on/off button or nither level control for the the sub. turning the subwoffer on/off and controling its volume is through a series of number 0-8. 0 meaning off and 1-8 mean increasing the bass. be prepare to ajust your amp because once u past 1 the sub gonna be pretty loud thus eleminating the sound of the interior speakers. I wish there is two saparte buttons, one to turn it off and the other for increasing the volume of the sub.
In my opinion, this deck is basically for people whos like basic, easy operation
Great head unit!
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
This head unit was a great investment! This thing has so many options and configurations that I am still finding new functions. The color display for background is great. I own a Suzuki Aerio and the instrument panel lights are orange and this deck has a matching color. Which is hard to find. I have it hooked up to 4 Infinity Reference 6.5's and they sound great. I would highly recomend this even though it is a little pricey it is well worth it.
The Perfect Sirius Deck
2000 Toyota Tacoma
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
If you are looking to hook up Siruis radio directly to your after market CD player, this deck is perfect. The large colorful display is perfect for presenting the satellite radio text that lists the station, artist, and song title. You can even change the vertical angle of the deck so that it points right at you. It is definitely worth the extra money.

Ease Of Use
No preset buttons on the deck (you have to use the remote)

This is an excellent reciever, Im still using my factory speakers on my 2000 focus and they sound GREAT, now I can
enjoy the bass, excellent features, easy to use, I like what you can do with pictures and movies, it also looks great..Next... I will install 4 6x8 Infiniti Kappa, if my factory speakers sounds great right now, I can't imagine the sound with 4 Infiniti speakers.

Changer Controls
3D Multicolor LCD: This unit features a full-motion 3D graphics display with variable color backlighting. Using the palette of 12 preset colors and adjustable red, green and blue levels, you can customize the display background with one of 1,728 possible color variations. The following colors are stored in memory: Aqua, Sky, Sea, Leaves, Grass, Apple, Rose, Amber, Honey, Violet, Grape, and Pale. You can select a different color for each source, or a single color for all sources. In addition, you can select one "user color" for daytime use and another for nighttime use (when headlights are on).
Motorized Faceplate: The KD-AR860 features a fully motorized faceplate with multiple-angle display capabilities. The faceplate automatically slides out when inserting or ejecting a CD. In addition, you can set the angle of the faceplate to one of four positions for best visibility.
Personalized Image Capture Technology (PICT): Using the supplied Image Converter (Wide) software, you can produce custom images to display on the receiver's screen. Not only can you display still images, but you can modify images so that they in effect become a mini animated movie. Customizing the images is simple and straightforward. First, you need to capture images by downloading them from the Internet or recording them with digital equipment, like a camcorder or camera. Next, using the Image Converter (Wide) software, you can edit the images and convert them to PICT-compatible graphic data. Image Converter (Wide) generates a new file suitable for the head unit's display without changing the source image. After the editing has been completed, the images can then be burned onto a CD-R disc. Finally, the images can be transferred to the head unit from the CD-R disc.
Still Images: Pictures can be created and downloaded into the receiver and used for the graphic screen. A total of 30 still images can be shown one at a time as a static image or in a slide show fashion.
Animations: Animations can be created and downloaded into the receiver and used for the graphic screen, opening screen, or ending screen. The graphic screen animation can contain a maximum of 90 frames. The opening and ending screen animations can each contain a maximum of 30 frames.
Image Link: When an MP3/WMA folder includes an image file edited by Image Converter (Wide), you can show the image on the display while the tracks in the folder are played back.
Demonstration Mode: The unit goes into Display Demonstration if no operation is performed for about 20 seconds. During Display Demonstration, an animation and the playback source information are displayed alternately.
MP3/WMA Playback: The KD-AR860 can play MP3/WMA files that have been recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs. The disc must be recorded in one of the following formats: ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet or Romeo. You can directly access folders numbered 01-12 (they must be assigned two-digit numbers when recorded). Each disc can have a maximum of 8 folder hierarchies, 200 folders, and no more than a total of 512 files and/or folders on each disc.
SIRIUS Satellite Radio Controls: This unit can control an optional SIRIUS Satellite tuner (item #607SIRJVC1). In addition to the SIRIUS tuner, you will need an antenna and subscription in order to receive SIRIUS Satellite Radio programming.
Intelligent EQ (3-Band iEQ): This model has "Hard Rock", "R&B", "Pop", "Jazz", "Dance", "Country", "Reggae", "Classic", "User 1", "User 2", "User 3", and "Flat" preset EQ curves. "User 1", "User 2", and "User 3" presets can be adjusted to your preference and stored in memory. For each preset, you can independently adjust the following:
- Low Level: -06 to +06
- Low Center Frequency: 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz
- Low Q: 0.5, 0.75, 1, or 1.25
- Mid Level: -06 to +06
- Mid Q: 1 or 1.85
- High Level: -06 to +06
- High Center Frequency: 8kHz, 10kHz, 12kHz, 15kHz
Amplifier Gain Control: When you are using the KD-AR860 with factory speakers (or those rated to less than 50 watts peak), the Amplifier Gain Control can limit the amount of power being sent to those speakers. When the Amp Gain Control is set to "low", the volume control ranges from 0 (minimum) to 30 (maximum). When using speakers rated higher than 50 watts peak, you can set the Amp Gain Control to "high", and the volume control will range from 0 to 50.
Tuner: This model is equipped with JVC's proprietary HS-IIIi tuner. You can set up to 18 FM and 6 AM stations as presets. Presets can be set manually, or automatically using Strong-station Sequential Memory (SSM). If an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive, you can manually switch the tuner to "Mono" operation.
Source Naming: The KD-AR860 allows you to assign names of up to 10 characters for AM and FM stations (30 station maximum), and a name up to 8 characters for a connected external component. You can also assign names of up to 32 characters for CDs (including a connected CD changer, but not MP3/WMA or CD Text discs--30 disc maximum).
Subwoofer Output: This unit has 2-volt gold-plated subwoofer preamp outputs (the front and rear preamp outputs are 5-volt outputs) on a 9" pigtail. The subwoofer output has independent level control, adjustable from 00 to 08, and a selectable low-pass crossover. You can select a cutoff frequency from Low (55 Hz), Mid (85 Hz) or High (115 Hz).
Rear Panel Auxiliary Input: A rear panel auxiliary input (left and right RCA audio jacks) is provided to allow the connection of a portable audio source. Just connect your portable cassette, MD or MP3 player to this unit, and you can listen to the audio from the portable player through the speakers in your mobile audio system. The input level of the auxiliary input can be adjusted from -5 to 5.
Clock Display: When you press the Display button during power off, the unit will turn on, display the clock for 5 seconds, then shut off. This can be done with the ignition on or off.
Dimmer: This unit is equipped with a wire that JVC calls an illumination lead, however, it acts as a dimmer lead. The dimmer can be set to Off (normal brightness at all times), Auto (display window automatically dims when your car head lights are turned on), or On (display is always dimmed). Also, this unit has a timer that allows you to turn the dimmer on for a period of time each day. The timer allows you to select a start time and an end time for the dimmer.
Note: The amount of dimming is fixed, it cannot be adjusted, and the illumination wire must be connected for Auto operation.
RM-RK300 Remote Control: The unit is equipped with the RM-RK300 compact wireless remote control. This 13-button remote (including number buttons 1 through 6) can control the following functions:
- Volume Up/Down
- Power On/Off/Attenuate
- Control panel angle adjust
- Source select
- Track/file skip (CD + changer)
- Folder skip (MP3/WMA only)
- Track/file search forward/reverse (CD + changer)
- Radio station search (auto or manual)
- Preset station select or store (Number 1-6)
- Radio band select
- Disc skip (CD changer)
Compatibility: This unit is equipped with JVC's "J-Link" CD changer control system. It is fully compatible with JVC's CD/MP3 changer (257CHX1500). Other JVC CH-X series CD changers (except CH-X99 and CH-X100) can be controlled directly by this head unit, however, they are not compatible with MP3 discs. You cannot use the KD-MK series CD changers with this unit, even with an adapter.
Compatibility with Optional AUX Input Adapter: The optional JVC Line Input Adapter (item # 105KSU57) may be used to provide an additional auxiliary input on this unit. This feature allows you to connect a portable audio player, such as a portable MD player, to this unit as an additional audio source. Item 105KSU57 connects to the CD changer input on this unit. When the aux input adapter is connected to this unit, a CD changer cannot be connected.

I added some fenugreek and used coconut milk instead of half and half. This recipe is a keeper!! The leftovers seem to get spicier as they sit in the fridge.
I do this recipe x3 when I make it (generally one flat of chicken). To that quantity, it's 5 stars IF: You add another whole stick of margarine, 3 chopped garlic cloves, plus salt & black pepper to taste. I only used 1 pint (=2 cups) of half & half w/o any yogurt; and the chicken is cooked in 2 batches with about a teaspoon of garam masala in each batch. AMAZING results!
The best ever! Better than my favorite Indian restaurant. There was a party of 8 and we all brought a dish. This one everyone went for seconds and thirds. Good eats! Will make again.
This was less rich and intense than I was expecting. The ingredient list calls for tomato purée not sauce, but the recipe says sauce. Maybe sauce would help. I also think the rice matters and I made mine too watery, so that could be part of the problem.
All I can say is OMG!!!! This stuff is the bomb! My husband adores Indian food, so I made this for his BD - he thought he had died and gone to heaven - for a fraction of the cost!! I made some sauteed swiss chard w/onions & garlic to go with and found some Naan bread in the freezer section of the store that cooks up in less than 5 mins. Oh yeah!!
It was ok. A little too tomatoey and not enough spice flavor. I will try again but with less tomato and more garam masala and cayenne and garlic. The consistency was good.
Excellent! I used 1/4 c tomato paste (just because I had some to use up) and used milk rather than half-and-half to cut down on some of the fat and it was just great. Very nice flavors and the aroma--such a tease!
Amazing. Served it with coconut rice and loved it!
First time out it was ok. We went off the rails a bit as we didn't get "tomato Puree" figured it must have been tomato paste. Wrong! that made it way to strong a tomato flavour. Some mik added to the dish seemed to help reduce the taste. It was fast to make. Easy to prepare and our family gave it a thumbs up! We will work on the tomato puree thing. Any help here is welcome. Thanks for posting.

Bar Details
King's Hardware
- Editor's Pick
- Happy Hour, Outdoor Patio, Recommended Beer Selection, Recommended Menu, Singles Scene
Some joints stay new forever; some are old souls from the moment they blow the foam off the inaugural pint. That's King's Hardware—formerly a hardware store—which has Ballard Avenue to thank for its dinged wood and vintage brick, but credit Linda Derschang and her partners for its blazing authenticity. You remember Derschang, the one who single-handedly launched the identity of Capitol Hill's Pike/Pine corridor by opening Linda's Tavern. Now she and her partners have created another soul-drenched haunt—there's the jukebox, the long list of burgers, the skee ball, the vintage Donkey Kong, the deer head on the wall, the huge back deck to make you pine for summer, the really delish list of burgers, the black-and-white photographs of somebody's grandma…and did I mention the burgers? Yep, there's great beer (14 on tap; 22 in bottles) and real booze, three salads, and sensational sweet-potato fries. But it's those burgers—one-dozen-plus, crafted of entirely virtuous Painted Hills beef and topped with such splendors as goat cheese and beet relish or grilled onions and swiss—that'll have you plotting ways to move to Ballard.

I fell asleep on a late night train
I missed my stop and I went round again
Why would I wanna see you now?
To fix it up, make it up somehow
Baby, I'll try again, try again
Baby, I die every night, every time
What I was isn't what I am
I'd change back but I don't know if I can
Still, I'll try, try again, try again
Baby, I die every night, every time
But I was made the way I am
I'm not a stone, I'm just a man
Lay down your arms and I will lay down mine
Rip back the time that we've been wasting
God, I wish you could see me now
You'd pick me up and you'd sort me out
Baby, I'll try again, try again
Baby, I die every night, every time

text: Yep, same here. I've always been a sport bike type, or at least a standard bike guy. Before the 48 my GS was the least sporty street bike I've ever owned. In fact, until just recently I just didn't get the whole H-D/cruiser thing at all. The forwards just felt really weird to me. I decided I'd give a try and see if I could get used to em, so I left em on my bike for a bit. And yeah, I did get used to them, but that doesn't change the fact that they are an inferior set-up for really riding a bike. All of your weight is on your ass, my hips were rotated to a weird angle that just didn't feel right, the reach to the relatively low and forward bars on the 48 made me feel like I was folded up like a taco and didn't feel right to my back, shoulders or arms. Combine that with the poor suspension and the fact that your ass is planted with no way of standing to use your legs to absorb the bigger hits, and it was just a receipt for a bad experience. And then there is the whole control issue too. Of course I can say that because I'm fortunate to not have long legs or bad knees. Everyone's preoccupation with a low seat height really does limit the ergonomic options with the typical cruiser platform. And that's not even considering the typical cruiser rider's concern with "looking cool"... But for me at least, the mids really help all of that. In fact, the crappy stock seat on the 48 and 72, that everyone bitches about is actually pretty comfortable once I swapped to the mids. Sorta like a Corbin or Sargent actually. Firm and sculpted into the "tractor" shape that fits my narrow ass pretty well. I do plan to add some highway pegs at some point just so I can shift positions occasionally, but I'll be selling the forward set-up since I can't ever see going back to it. The suspension is a relative easy fix. Cost is relative to just how well you want it "fixed". There are some cheap options out there and some people are happy with them. Just depends on your expectations, and what you hope to achieve. I'm going with Ohlins and they aren't exactly "cheap". But for me they are worth the extra. I firmly believe that with suspension, like so many other things in life, you get what you pay for and I'm willing to spend more to get more. Good luck getting the bike that suits your needs and getting it set up to your satisfaction.

Whos' Really to Blame for Fukushima Health Impacts?
As is often the case, the passage of time yields clarity about events, and the nuclear power plant accident at Fukushima is no different. It has become clear that the misinformation and hysterics by anti-nuclear groups and individuals were mostly wrong. Their doomsday prophesizing actually worsened human suffering and environmental impacts by contributing to unwise decisions by political leaders in Japan and elsewhere to shut down nuclear plants. In contrast, bloggers and experts from within the nuclear community accurately predicted outcomes and human health impacts.
As was predicted on this blog and elsewhere, the multi-barrier reactor containment design protected the public. Contrary to claims by anti-nuclear groups, the melted cores did NOT burn through the reactor vessels. The containment structures remained virtually intact. The damaged reactor fuel remained inside the reactor vessels and containment systems.
Despite preposterous claims by Greenpeace and others, there were no chunks of plutonium scattered across the countryside. Only radioactive gasses escaped over the land, and most of that gas was short lived Iodine that has long since decayed away.
As reported on Bloomberg and other news sources, no one in the public was harmed by radiation from the damaged reactors. A small number of plant workers received higher than normal radiation exposures, without lasting effects. Any hypothetical future health effects will be immeasurably low and will be indistinguishable from normal disease rates within the general population.
No one, not even the "Fukushima 50″, was exposed to life threatening amounts of radiation. Journalists who flew across the Pacific to cover the story received more radiation exposure from cosmic rays in flight than they received from the reactors once on the ground.
The visually spectacular hydrogen explosions of the plant buildings, while providing great fodder for anti-nuclear rhetoric had little impact on the safety of the reactors, and harmed no one.
The unit 4 fuel storage pools did not empty of water and did not catch on fire. The fuel there remained safely submerged and suffered no damage of any consequence.
Finally, there was no need for the 50-mile evacuation zone ordered by NRC Chairman Greg Jaczko. His decision still has nuclear experts scratching their heads and wondering why. Jaczko's actions demonstrated he lacks the experience and knowledge to ask the right questions at crucial moments. In addition, he lacked the wisdom to recognize other more credible information was available that contradicted his view. He needlessly rushed forward with an ill-advised decision that was horribly wrong.
This is not to imply there were no environmental or economic impacts from the reactor accident – of course there were! The expensive cleanup in surrounding areas will take years and will cost billions. This is but a small fraction of the total cost of recovery from the horrific earthquake and tsunami.
The earthquake and tsunami were responsible for untold human suffering and devastation. That is where the focus of the world should have been and should continue to be. The problems at the Fukushima nuclear plant accident have contributed needlessly to Japan's economic burden by prompting the irrational shutdown of nuclear plants across the country. This has caused energy shortages and billions of dollars of additional costs from skyrocketing imports of fossil fuels. Of course, the fossil fuels providers are scrambling to rake in tens of billions of dollars in profits.
The health effects to Japan's population were NOT from radiation, but from stress caused by the unfounded fear of future health effects. The responsibility for this lies squarely on anti-nuclear activists who relished in spouting fatalistic, exaggerated claims, and on an uninformed media who presented those claims as virtual facts while downplaying opposing views from true experts in the field.

Jesse Parent says:
This is interesting as I'm still trying to understand what is going on.
I'm currently not sure what to think about the massive shut down of all the reactors in Japan. It seems questionable in one sense. But in another, at least from studying Fukushima I, I can see why there would be a massive effort to appear like they are doing something about the problem. I'm not sure how much of what is happening in Japan is Public Relations or not, but there at least seems a reason to go into damage control mode. The lack of adjustments that TEPCO made in preparing Fukushima I for well-cautioned earthquake and tsunami threats is probably one source of contention, and I would guess that such has mixed with other sentiments, including the general misinformation mentioned in this post.
I think Japan should strive to make sure their nuclear plants are up to code, but that's regardless of what happened at Fukushima. The public backlash against nuclear energy, however, seems like a curious situation to mitigate. From Japan Today:
Shinichiro Takiguchi, executive senior researcher at Japan Research Institute, said the shuttering of nuclear plants is not sustainable.
"Basically, the general consensus for the long term is reduce nuclear power" but not stop it, he said. "It's more reasonable to increase the use of other energy sources and gradually reduce nuclear while taking additional safety measures."
A short or medium-term transition towards a long term, (whatever that long term is), with nuclear power completely absent from Japan's energy mix seems significantly difficult, perhaps entirely untenable.
Thanks for the info, I'll check out the ANS report/conference.
