Thanks Heather!!!
I have doubts: I am a 14 year old guy, I'm from Argentina now living in Florida and I have always pictured myself with girls in romantic relationships, and I still do. But now I enjoy watching gay pornography. When I picture a two-man relationship it disgusts me, but yet I prefer gay porn. About girls, I only feel sexually attracted to some but I do only picture myself with a girlfriend in a serious relationship. Whats going on!? I need help!
I'm a 20 year old girl, who's...well, I'm not going to say perfectly confident, because I do have some fairly major esteem issues, but I know my own mind, I'm independent & I'm not one to go with the crowd just because it's the "done" thing.
Three years ago a guy I was making out with on a regular basis, assaulted me sexually. While I escaped without being raped, it was a terrifying & traumatic experience. Needless to say it was a difficult time. I was a virgin when the assault happened, & because of this incident I was left wary of men, sex & romantic interactions in general. During the years since, a few of my good friends have expressed feelings for me, but given that I was not in the right state of mind to deal with any serious romantic situations, the fact that these guys were looking for the types of relationships that I'm not comfortable with, & also that I was afraid of ruining our friendships, I turned them down, explaining my reasons & repeatedly expressing how important their friendships were to me. All of these guys are still my close friends, & all have had relationships/flings with other girls since asking me out. I'm having a problem with them, though.

I'm 15, and I have my first boyfriend (he's 16, almost 17, with a one year five month age difference between us). I really love him, and he loves me. Yesterday, we were kissing and ended up with us making out and him on top of me. He touched my leg, and my stomach and hip some, but didn't go anywhere near my privates. He's really sweet and polite and would never pressure me into anything, but we haven't talked about sex or anything. I haven't even asked him about his last girlfriend. I'm a virgin, and would like to stay that way for the forseeable future. I have nothing against sex in high school or before marriage, I just don't think I'd be able to handle it emotionally if I got pregnant or our parents found out or something. How can I bring up sex, and my boundaries, with him?
I'm 16 and my boyfriend is 17. We have been talking about having intercourse. It would be the first time for both of us. We've gradually gone over all the details with each other, and everything was fine until the question came up: Who's on top? Neither of us wants to be. His reasoning? He's lazy and inexperienced and doesn't know what he would do. My reasoning? If I'm on top, I have to do all the work, and that means I'm the only one who can mess it up. I have low self-esteem already, and the only thing that could make it lower would be not satisfying him. We're not sure what to do now. Who should be on top, or how can we settle this dilemma?
How do I find out if my girlfriends flirting and talking about other guys? She says she doesn't, she's begging me to trust her but how can I if we are in a long-distance relationship?
On top of doing what I do here at Scarleteen (and everything else I do), I also do some outreach sexuality and sexual rights education for a youth homeless shelter here in Seattle. My partner also now works full-time at that shelter, and when he came home last night and filled me in on some things that had gone on that day, I got struck very hard in the gut with some feelings I hadn't fully realized for myself until then, both about that work and the young people there, but also about some of my experiences with some of the users at Scarleteen.
So, I wrote the residents there a letter this morning that I'd also like to share with you, because the way I feel about them is also the way I feel about plenty of you. Because most of Scarleteen happens online, very few of our users are currently homeless or transient, but some have been or will be. In addition, plenty over the years have shared similar struggles, either being in the foster care system or in unsafe homes, surviving loss, assRead more...

Ironhorse Brigade, local Iraqi leaders celebrate reconciliation successes
October 3, 2007
By Staff Sgt. Jon Cupp, 1st BCT, 1st Cav. Div. Public Affairs

CAMP LIBERTY, Iraq - When the sun went down, the evening was a time for celebration and the breaking of the Ramadan fast as tribal sheiks and local government leaders from the Abu Ghraib district of Baghdad dined together with senior leadership from the 1st "Ironhorse" Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division and the brigade's 2nd "Lancer" Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment at the Joint Visitor Bureau building here Oct. 1.
The tribal leaders and government officials from areas throughout the Lancer area of operations to include the villages of Nassir Wa Salam, Khandari, Agar Quf and Zeljdot among others that lie within Abu Ghraib coordinated the celebration with the Lancers and used the occasion as an opportunity to recognize recent successes in reconciliation efforts.
"This event has been a great chance to celebrate Ramadan with local leaders in the area and our progress together over the past year," said Maj. Geoffrey Norman, executive officer, 2nd Bn., 5th Cav. Regt. and a native of Boulder, Colo. "We've got a pretty wide range of folks with a combination of Sunni and Shia partners and Iraqi Police here tonight."
Norman pointed out many of the positive things happening in the village of Nassir Wa Salam as just one example for the type of reconciliation successes occurring throughout the Lancer AO and that were celebrated during the event.
"We have a fantastic relationship in Nassir Wa Salam with the 3rd Battalion, 4th Brigade, 1st Iraqi Army Division," said Norman. "Our Iraqi Army partners in reconciliation have bravely stepped forward to work with Iraqi Security Volunteers and Coalition Forces to allow local people to regain control of their villages and neighborhoods from Al Qaeda in Iraq."
"The result has been a complete change in Nassir Wa Salam from being a town in the grip of Al Qaeda to a city flourishing for it's children and it's local businesses," added Norman. "The streets used to be deserted but now they're packed with people, and this is happening in Khandari and Shiha as well."
During the dinner, the gathered attendees ate American cuisine provided by the Lancers and five members of the 1st Cavalry Division Band were on hand to provide music for the occasion.
After they had dined, Sunni and Shia sheiks spoke with each other and the Ironhorse Brigade personnel about recent reconciliation efforts, shared a few laughs and posed for photos with one another.
Col. Paul E. Funk II, the Ironhorse Brigade commander and Lt. Col. Kurt Pinkerton, the Lancer Battalion commander, addressed the gathered crowd.
"This is an important night to share in the breaking of the (Ramadan) fast with our friends and it's a very historic time for Iraq," said Funk, during his opening statement. "Now is the time for reconciliation, for four years there were way too many opposing views and it is a time now for words and not bullets. The power of reconciliation leads this country forward."
"As you know 1,500 Iraqi Police were just hired and it's a chance to establish true security throughout this zone but it takes people working together," added Funk. "We see that you are all willing to reconcile. There's not one Kurd, one Sunni or one Shia-there's only one Iraq."
Funk also explained that the Iraqi people are quite capable of eventually being able to take responsibility for their own destiny-calling the nation a country of "scholars, mathematicians and brilliant engineers."
"There's a need to move forward, and soon the Ministry of Displaced Persons will start sending people back to their homes," Funk continued in his speech, referring to the thousands of Iraqis who thanks to reconciliation efforts to improve security are now moving back to their villages-places which were once marred by acts of violence almost daily. "It's time to start reconstruction and this takes patience, perseverance and people who have the courage of lions."
"Those people are sitting in this structure tonight," he added pointing to the assembled leaders.
"We can't do this alone, we all have to work together to make this successful," said Pinkerton, who added that his Soldiers have made strong bonds working with the local residents in Abu Ghraib as well as with their Iraqi Security Volunteer and Iraqi Security Force partners.
Since arriving in country nearly a year ago, the Lancer Soldiers have experienced a change in the security situation that has been like night and day thanks to reconciliation, according to Norman.
"It's really amazing, because they came into a very dangerous area and sustained some very painful personal losses, yet day in and day out they showed amazing discipline and respect for the people in whose hometowns and villages they were operating," said Norman. "Everyday and every night they were asked to make split decisions to discern friends and innocent villagers from armed insurgents who hide amongst the population we're here to protect.
"Now, we feel that we're in a very important juncture in our tour over here and it's as though we've turned a corner with the security situation which will give us the opportunity to finish strong and focus on essential services and rebuilding projects to leave an enduring mark on the Abu Ghraib area," said Norman while explaining that the battalion only has about four more months left in-country.
One of the ways forward that Norman said he sees for reconciliation involves reestablishing Iraqi Police into local communities which will may also include more Iraqi Security Volunteers becoming police officers.
"We'll bring Iraqi Police officers into the neighborhoods and villages that they're actually from," said Norman. "So, much of the way forward will include replacing the civilian (volunteers) with IPs and then continuing to improve local government agencies that can provide essential services to the people.
Reactions to reconciliation efforts have been very positive and have yielded many surprising results, added Norman.
"It's been an amazing experience, and everyone feels very positive about where things are going," he said. "The integration of both former Sunni and Shia insurgents who have reconciled and are cooperating with the Iraqi government and with us has really allowed us to shift our focus and work with Iraqis to complete many projects designed to rebuild functional local governments in a lot of areas where there was previously no government."
The improved security situation in Iraq has allowed the Lancers to assist the local government with providing power to people in some of the smaller villages in Abu Ghraib until the national power grid can be fully up and running in the future.
"We've worked with a lot of small villages to get small generators which are large enough to power houses in the village even though there may be no power grid to connect them," said Norman. "The ability to give each village power, has significantly improved the quality of life for many small villages."
Although the Lancers will be leaving Iraq within a few months, on-going combined efforts to bring "normalcy" back to the lives of Abu Ghraib residents will include such things as working to rebuild schools, water departments and support for the Iraqi government's efforts to reintegrate displaced people back into their villages, according to Norman.
"We're going out on high note with a lot of momentum with projects we've started-many of which we've seen through to completion," Norman said.

Waiting for the bus at the corner of Greenwood and 85th yesterday afternoon, I notice a large woman leaving the Washington Mutual across the street (or whatever they're trying to get us to call that bank now). A minute later, there's a cop car in front of her, and an officer shouting at her to get down. His gun is drawn. This video I shot shows the arrest itself as more squad cars come screaming into the picture.
Then the bus arrives and we all board, still rubbernecking like crazy to see what's going to happen next. A passenger is brandishing his cell phone. "This is the age we live in," he says. I don't know what he's on about, but realize later he was insinuating that he's the one who called the police. Which seems implausible since he was standing at the bus stop the whole time.
"This is a quiet neighborhood," he says, his moustache jerking spastically. "If you want to act like that, move to Auburn, move to Everett, move to Port Angeles."
"Well, it's not everyday you see something like that," I say, not particularly wanting to get in a conversation with this guy.
"I have the facts, you don't," he snaps, "I saw the whole thing."
"Really?" I say, perking up now, "What happened?"
"Watch the news," he chants at me, "read the paper, get a computer, grow up."
Right. Thanks a bunch, moustache man. I still don't know what the woman did, or is accused of doing. This hasn't tunred up in any news accounts I've seen since then. I'll get back to you if I find out.
UPDATE: I don't suppose anyone except maybe my mom is actually checking for an update on this, but a teller told me this was indeed a bank robber. Still nothing in the news though. I guess with the world ending and all this doesn't really rate.

Quality Hill Resort Villas
Pinetop, Arizona
Located along the fairways of Pinetop Lakes Country Club in the White Mountains, an area that includes 57 natural lakes and miles of streams. The nearby Sunrise Resort has more than 60 trails. Other activities include cross-country skiing, sledding, snowmobiling, and ice-fishing. The area also boasts seasonal events. On-site amenities include an exercise room and whirlpool.
A friend recently 'donated' a few nights to my wife and I, and we were very impressed. We stayed in a LARGE two-story timeshare with 3BR, 3BA, including garage, fireplace, and a gas BBQ on the porch. The Pinetop area is so beautiful (it snowed) to the point that we started looking for houses for sale. The only thing missing was a beach, although we did go to several lakes there. I'm not sure I would want to go back and forth every season, rather the timeshare ownership should be sold per week...my opinion.
Excellent resort with beautiful setting. Very unusual as owners here are fractional ownership with 4 weeks each year (spring week, summer, fall and winter). Wendy and her staff are very professional and accomodating. Hikes are unbelieveable, golf is affordable and weather (in the summer and fall) is unbeatable.
We are former owners. We're only former as we built a cabin in nearby Heber. It was great to have two trading weeks. We generally used the winter and summer weeks and then saw many other parts of the country with the other two. (One of those two would generally be a red week.) The resort is well cared for and our unit was always in great condition. There are not a lot of on site activities, but it is located close to skiing (the best in Arizona!) and the mountains are close by with great hiking (and I'm told fishing).
This timeshare is unusual in that you own 1/12th of a particular villa, allowing you usage four times a year - one week in each quarter. The weeks shift each year per a schedule. Every twelve years you get the use of Christmas week and the following year you get New Year's week.
Although the resort has modest facilities (no pool) it trades very well. We use our villa during the summer season week and exchange the other weeks for very nice four star resorts such as Marriotts and Hyatts.
The fees work out to less than $300 per week owned and can be paid in monthly installments. Pinetop can be very quiet in the off season, but in the summer it is a wonderful place to escape from the desert heat. If you would like to have plently of exchange weeks for visiting other resorts, owning at Quality Hill makes a lot of sense.

Constituencies and Concerns
"Stripped of all its rich variation, realignment theory comes down to the notion that something happens and the public responds" ( Carmines, Renten, and Stimson 1984: 545). That simple premise is the basis of the following analysis. In this case, the something may be complex and dynamic, involving protracted shifts of party constituencies and policy concerns, but the presumption is that differences between parties eventually register with the public and the electorate changes its political alignment.
Much of the analysis of changes in electoral realignments in American politics has focused on relatively abrupt changes ( Key 1955; Shafer 1991). My concern, however, is with gradual, secular changes ( Key 1959: 198-199). The argument is that over time Republicans and Democrats have experienced shifts in their electoral bases that have changed the policy concerns and positions of each party. 1 These changing party policy positions have altered electoral perceptions of which party is seen as more conservative or more liberal. Specifically, Republicans have come to be seen as relatively more conservative and Democrats as relatively more liberal. The parties have adopted increasingly divergent positions on class-related issues, with the result that the less and more affluent differ in which party they support.
The dynamics of party differentiation, public perception, and electoral reaction should not be presumed to be precise. The "processes operate inexorably, and almost imperceptibly, election after election to form new party alignments and to build new party groupings" ( Key 1959: 198-199). The media often do not treat party differences as meaningful and they are not inclined to convey information about substantive differences between the parties ( Patterson 1994). Campaign coverage is often focused more on shortterm controversies than debates about evolving policy issues and party differences. Party candidates recognize that and often focus more on some issue that will provide short-term advantages. Further, much of the public does not follow politics closely ( Flanigan and Zingale 1998: 143-163). Party

Funny Air Conditioning Video
Something that made us laugh, it's not often you come across a great air conditioning advert!
Military Air Conditioning
To cool down military tents it is important that air conditioning units are practical, flexible and robust. There are some specific units designed to cool down army tents and military equipment. The ideal unit for military cooling should be able to operate in up to 50°C. They also need to be a powerful enough air conditioning unit to cool down electrical equipment. It would be beneficial if the air conditioning unit had flexible ducting and hosing so that the unit could also be used to spot cool electrical equipment and so that the cool air can be directed into or onto a specific area or machine.
It is essential that the air conditioning units can withstand intensive use throughout extreme conditions, they should also be fairly easy to set up, maintain and use in all conditions and situations. The air conditioning unit shown below has the capacity to cool up to 49m² and the unit also comes in a larger size that has the ability to cool up to 58m². This unit is ideal for military cooling and tent cooling as the hot air can be vented straight out of the top of the unit, or alternatively up to 12m of hosing can be attached. The venting at the front of the unit can also be directed and up to 6m of ducting can be added so that the cool air can also be directed towards specific areas or equipment.

Cory Richards, who was named a 2012 Adventurer of the Year by National Geographic, was the first American to climb an 8,000-meter peak in winter.
While most expeditions attempt the Himalayan peaks in summer, Richards heroically made American history in 2010, withstanding savage blizzards and an avalanche to summit Gasherbrum II.
In his presentation, Richards will recount a second Himalayan climb – a failed-attempt of Everest in 2012 that once again nearly took his life. An award-winning photographer, he captured the struggle through hurricane-force winds and minus 50ºF temperatures.
The event will feature his captivating reflection on humility and the ups and downs of a life under the spell of the mountains. The presentation will take place Wednesday, November 6, 2013 at the San Diego Natural History Museum at 7:00 p.m.

It is interesting to see this article when in Utah we are talking class sizes of 30-35 for elementary and 40-45 for many secondary classes. The high class sizes reported in the article would be welcomed by most Utah teachers...

We are always being compared to Japan and Korea for test scores and performance
in schools. If you look at the NY Times article "Class Size Around the
World", Japan and Korea average 27 and 31 students per classroom
respectively. If class size is so critical, how is it that they can outperform
the US with larger class sizes?
Why is it that educators only complain about class size, since the class size is not the significant factor is high performing educational settings?

It's not the class size, or bad teachers.
It's the liberal mentality, and management. Look at what it's doing to our economy, and healthcare?

As a teacher, I found that a class of 22-24 was easily managed, if I didn't have students with significant behavior problems. Too many clasrooms include students who are not able to cope with a class setting. If you have ten students, and one of them is continually disruptive, bullies other students, or in some way is a significant distraction, the other nine will be impacted (to say nothing of how that one student isn't benefitting). In fact, if all the students are reasonable in behavior and motivation, a larger class is workable. "Paras" are a great help, and are an economical way to enhance the learning environment. If there are students with significant behavior or learning difficulties, a para is needed for each one.

Adventure riders, you prayers have been answered. Honda is set to debut a new off-road model at the Osaka Motorcycle Show, the Honda CRF250 Rally.
Based off the Honda CRF250L platform, the Rally concept is basically the CRF250L with rally-styled bodywork.
The Honda CRF250 Rally concept will get its worldwide debut alongside the Honda True Adventure concept, which we first saw at last year's EICMA show.
This makes for an interesting dichotomy, as the CRF250 Rally is set to look like the CRF450 Rally race bike, while the True Adventure (cough, Africa Twin, cough) borrows heavily from the race bike's technology package.

Blanca Lidia
Update on Blanca LidiaBlanca has decided to request another loan because she wants to expand her sales in her business. She will buy products such as tomatoes, onions, corn, oil, seasonings, and a portion of firewood to make tortillas and, in the afternoon, meat pies and snacks. This will help her have the necessary materials to make the products. For the firewood, buying it in cash will help her get a better price.
She says the previous loan had a positive effect because she made the necessary purchase to improve her customer service selling tortillas. This has been very useful for increasing her sales. With this loan she wants to offer another line to her customers.
Ella manifiesta haber tenido un efecto positivo del préstamo anterior, porque realizo la compra necesaria para mejorar la atención a los clientes en la venta de tortillas, la cual ha sido muy útil para que sus ventas aumentaran, con esta inversion quiere ofrecer un rubro mas a los clientes.
Previous Loan DetailsBlanca, age 37, lives in San Miguel in the Department of San Miguel with her children (ages 10 and 8) who are financially dependent on her. She sells tortillas and begins her work at 10am. Her advantage is that there are no other tortilla vendors nearby, so she is able to attract customers. ... More from Blanca Lidia's previous loan »
Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

An assessment of current trends and risks in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe (CESEE) in conjunction with the release of the International Monetary Fund's latest report, "Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe: External Funding Patterns and Risks." While growth has returned to many of the CESEE economies, the region is facing an unusual constellation of external risks, including the potential escalation of the Ukraine crisis; the possibility of protracted weak growth and deflation in the euro area; and further bouts of financial volatility. Given these unpredictable circumstances, how might an external shock impact the region economically? What will further unrest in Ukraine, the imposition of international sanctions, and the potential reduction of energy supplies from Russia have on the region's economy? Which countries are the most vulnerable? How would tighter external financial conditions affect growth, unemployment and debt dynamics in the region? Our panelists will discuss these issues and offer their perspectives on the economic outlook for the region.ProgramsTopicsRegions

So with that I'll turn it over to Dr. Cuss.
Francis Cuss
Good morning everyone, thank you very much, Steve that was kind remarks, I hope I can show you where your confidence is invested for the next few minutes. Just the forward-looking statement. This is a slide of the Company strategy, which I think will be familiar to many of you should be. We'd be showing this for the last five years, and I think it's very important part, corporate strategy is a very important part of our success and the fact that it embedded in R&D, I think reflects what we have been trying to do, we can now show we can deliver. The elements of our strategy are obviously innovation, but essentially looking for innovation both internally and externally, and as well as, having our head in the clouds in terms of the science, we have our fleet firmly planted on the ground in terms of driving our business forward, whether it's R&D or the rest of the business.
As my mother used to say, when I made a promise to her, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and I think the proof of any strategies what have you delivered. And this slide here shows the 14 important drugs meeting unmet needs for patients that are being approved in the last 10 years. I think it's important part of our strategy is the Best of Biotech, Best of Pharma and I think some of the approvals over the last year or two reflect what we're trying to do.
So Forxiga, Eliquis, small molecules discovered in-house potential for best in first in class biologics like YERVOY high innovative Best of Biotech, Best of Pharma. We're delivering. This is the broader portfolio from early true to late, don't have time today to go into all of it, we'll have to do that. But I'm going to concentrate on a couple of areas, but it covers all our core areas, and it has the balance of small molecules, large molecules.
Let me start our strategy in 2007, we had 6% of the portfolio, that 6% is biologics now it's 40%. So we've made a major shift in terms of that. And we've had a slower, but substantial shift in terms of those disease areas, where we believe there is still unmet need. Our North Star is reaching unmet need, so we're highly aspirational, but it's also about delivery.
So let me take a couple areas, which we've had strategies for sometime, but we have high aspirations, and I'd like to tell you, what we are doing, and what we look to deliver in the near to medium term; one is immuno-oncology, the other is hepatitis C.
So here is our immuno-oncology pipeline; on the right hand side you can see we have our late stage assets YERVOY is approved for metastatic melanoma, but it's also life cycle management for other indications I'll talk about that in a moment. Nivolumab, next generation anti-PD-1 antibody, I'll talk some more about that too, and also in Phase III doesn't get as much year time, but important for us is elotuzumab in multiple myeloma, can consider as an immuno-oncology mechanism of action, but we also have earlier stage assets the Anti-KIR, Anti-CD137 and Interleukin-21 in Phase I, Phase II; and the LAG3 antibody in preclinical, and as well as being late and early assets we can divide these also into that those the targets the innate system, the innate immune système as well as the adaptive system.
As you recall the innate system is a the more primitive immune system or legacy from the insects and the worms is a non-specific approach and the adaptive sytem which has evolved in vertebrates, and also with backbones that targets very specifically both infections and tumors.
I'll talk a little bit more about the adaptive system, but I want to give you a sense of the comprehensive and intensive nature of our IO portfolio that we are looking at both of these. Some of these are removing to break that the tumors have put on the immune system others are pressing the acceleration, they are stimulating the immunes directly. So there's lots of different approaches here, lots of different possible combinations, and I'll talk about some of those.

Comments On Mar 21, 2016:Was easy to mount and is solid. Pricey but much better than the mount that comes with the Trailtech Vapor.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 03, 2016:I feel its a must have if you purchase the Trail Tech Vapor computer. The mount can attach to the bar hold down clamp which places it up closer to the rider and more subject to potential damage but also direct sun which can wash out the screen when it gets hot, but will return when cooled. The better way is to locate it where the factory computer was located (have to remove it of course) and used some short stand-offs and bolts to mount it, so now its in the original computer location, protected from crash damage and protected from direct sun-light for the most part. I have not had any issue with the sun washing out the screen once I moved it to the factory location. The factory metal bracket below the OEM computer has to be slightly modified but the end result is awesome.

Comments On Dec 31, 2015:Within 20 hrs the water temp function stopped working. Shortly after the whole display would flicker erratically then cut out completely. I ended up calling Trail Tech and their solution was for me to buy more of their junk at full price. Now the unit just sits mounted in its aluminum armor mount doing what it does best, grabbing and stretching my front brake line whenever the front end compresses. Pure garbage. I'm replacing it with a simple hour meter.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 26, 2015:If you buy a trail tech computer and plan to ride off road and fall down, you need one of these too. We purchased the clamps that come with the computer in bulk because at least one clamp would get broken each weekend. Tried one of these, then another, and now all of our bikes have these protecting the trail tech computers and we don't come home with computers taped to our handlebars anymore. We have used them on a Yamaha TTR-125L, YZ125, YZ250F and Husqvarna WR125, and TXC 450. The only issue we have had was with the throttle cable on the YZ125 getting caught on it. One well placed zip tie fixed that problem.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Dec 23, 2014:This mount is solid, well designed and looks amazing. I would like to see the mounting tabs angled to provide a slight upward angle of the back of the vapor to allow for a better viewing while seated. The spacing of the mount holds was also a bit tight for my bike.

News & Events
January 2016
Ray Mears and his team filmed part of this TV programme at Nannerth. It was broadcast earlier this month. Take a look
July 2015
New additions to the poultry are making themselves at home and have settled in well. Guinea fowl chicks hatched successfully under a Buff Orpington and make a nice little flock - they are much happier in a flock rather than ones or twos. A pair of Silver Appleyards, a pair of black and white call ducks and a pair of Silver Laced Sebrights were recently bought at Hereford Poultry Auction and are very tame and friendly.
Andre is busy servicing the haymaking equipment in the hope we can get some hay made soon. Several hot sunny days are what's needed. Trees planted last year on the hill are struggling against the bracken which is very tall and requires hacking down to give the young trees the light and space they need to thrive. An ongoing job and Andre can only manage a couple of hours here and there so we are very grateful to Matthew who has done several days of exhausting work to control the bracken.
May 2015
Sorry, April passed by in a blur due to lambing, kidding, puppies, Easter visitors and gorgeous weather.
We now have 4 beautiful Boer kids, 3 girls and 1 boy. They have good markings and are strong and healthy. They play on the logs and spring about giving us endless amusement and entertainment - there are some pictures on our Nannerth Country Holidays Facebook page.
We visited the Spring Fair at the Royal Welsh Showground today to see some champion Boers and are firmly convinced that ours are just as good. Cari's 6 puppies have all flown the nest and are spread around the uk with their new owners. We were sad to see them all go but we are getting news of their progress and gorgeous pictures of them.
The summer visiting birds are here again in force, redstarts and pied flycatchers busy nesting in the woods, and farmyard swallows and house martins are back to their regular spots in the barns and outbuildings.
March 2015
We are revving up for Easter, for lambing and to welcome our Easter holiday guests, most of whom have been here on numerous occasions over the last 10 to 20 years! It will be lovely to see everyone again. Lambing is just starting now and we have 2 lambs. By the beginning of the school holidays there should be quite a few, so we are hoping the weather stays as good as now with sunny dry days. We are also expecting some goat kids, but not sure how many yet, so we are very excited.
Cari's 6 puppies thriving and wanting to explore outside like little dervishers..
Andre has almost finished installing a hot tub in the Granary garden for the use of guests staying there. We are intending to make it look very pretty (rather than glam) which is more in the style of our facilities here. Rather a race against time to get it up and running in time along with the improvements to the games room! So what's new? I hear you saying...
January 2015
Happy New Year to you all. We have a cold spell on us now and the livestock, poultry and garden plants are all feeling the cold. Our biomass boiler is keeping the cottages warm for winter visitors though so those of you booked for January or February will be warm and cosy. For the next couple of weeks Andre will be busy refitting the Tollant with a new bathroom. The new style bathroom in the Loft has been a great success so we plan to add a bath, new shower over, loo and washbasin in the Tollant. A solid oak floor will go down, much in keeping with the rest of the fittings.
December 2014
In addition to our 3 female Boer goats, Flop (matriarch), Flavia (big sister) and Millie (little sister) we now have Twister a 100% Boer buck from South Wales. He is very friendly and easy to manage and we are hoping we will have some progeny in the Spring.
Farming is ever more complicated with penalties now for having too many trees! Would you believe it, they want us to preserve biodiversity and protect trees and hedges, then proceed to penalise us for letting the woods grow. Our sheep get valuable shelter from the trees and they the birds, mammals and insects with good habitat.
Autumn has been amazingly warm with flowers still out and lots of grazing for the sheep. Let's hope for a kind winter.
What's On

Respond to Review of Food for Thought
by GUEST
Review: I was told by Tourist Info it was veggie and indeed on the sign it does say "vegetarian and wholefood restaurant", which is more than a stretch of the imagination. The only vegan options are baked potato or shepherds pie, so of course like everyone else who has reviewed, I went for the shepherds pie. It came with a garnish or three choices of salads for €1.50 extra. There were only three vegan salads, so I chose those. The salads were very uninspired: sliced peppers with no garnish; cold yellow rice with small bits of pepper and a mixture of tinned chickpeas and tinned sweetcorn. All portions were small; the shepherds pie was microwaved and bland. Staff were friendly, but the guy didn't know if the potatoes were vegan or not - he said "I would eat them, but I'm not vegan."

Julius Hodge knew just the thing to make the right first impression with his new coach - a Tar Heel-blue shirt.
That's a double dose of pride to swallow for a North Carolina State graduate, but, Hodge reasoned, "I wanted some brownie points."
Hardly an hour passes without George Karl saying a kind word about his own alma mater, the University of North Carolina. That being the case, Karl and the rookie shooting guard seemed to have already figured out the other's comic rhythm at the rookie's introductory news conference Thursday.
After saying Hodge could stand to gain some weight, Karl asked, "They got a weight room at State?"
To which Hodge responded with a smile, "We don't pay our players." Then, after a long pause, "Just kidding, just kidding."
Hodge said he's ready for a year's worth of N.C. State jokes. But based on their preliminary dinner Wednesday night, he predicted he would get along fine with Karl. Not that Hodge's life will be easy. It rarely is for rookies under Karl.
"Mentally, I'm going to have to be a rock," Hodge said. "I know Coach Karl is a very demanding coach, but I'm the type of player, I'm like a sponge. I just want to continue to learn, continue to get better, reach my full potential and surpass it. I know Coach Karl is more than capable of helping me do that."
Hodge, a four-year starter with the Wolfpack who can play either guard position or small forward but calls his best position "on the court," could be in for some change.
Karl oscillated during the news conference to introduce Hodge and his fellow draftees, Linas Kleiza and Ricky Sanchez. On one hand, he promised to be a new man with his rookies. On the other, he suggested that with Denver's depth, any rookie should be happy with limited minutes.
"I've sat with players when they get frustrated or depressed in the middle of the year when they're not playing," Karl said. "Like if Julius is two months into the season and not playing and he wants to play. You can have a schedule where you can send him down to an NBDL team where you can play him 35 minutes (per game) for a three-week period of time and bring him back up. It seems to me the guys who like to play would do that."
To which Hodge replied: "I don't think I even have to ponder that thought. I think I'm ready. I know I'm ready."
If Hodge exceeds expectations, it wouldn't be the first time negative reinforcement helped get him there. His older brother, Steve Hodge, never let his brother coast on success. He would comment on a critical turnover instead of the 25 points Julius scored.
"From Day One, I've always pointed out the good things and the bad to Julius," Steve said after watching his brother field questions. "I'm sure he doesn't always want to hear that, but it's not what you want to hear, it's what you need to hear. He understands that."
Their father, Steve Hodge Sr., lives in Antigua because of what his older son called "illegal activities" that forced him to leave the U.S. He remains in contact with the family, but Steve Jr. did plenty to raise Julius with their mother, Mary Hodge, in a Harlem household four blocks from legendary Rucker Park, the street ball capital of the universe.
Julius blossomed as a junior at St. Raymond's High School, which bought him a ticket to Raleigh. But before Wolfpack coach Herb Sendek instilled the structure in his game, Hodge learned his swagger at Rucker. A youth coach took him there to play for the first time in his early teens, and the nervous kid managed a basket in five minutes. A few years later, he made an impression with Vince Carter, then of Toronto, on the court.
And none of it overly impressed his brother.
"At times when I was younger, probably from 13 to 17, I would sometimes take it personally," Julius said. "Even when I did, that would just drive me to go out to the ball court, work that much harder, put that much more time into it, so I could be better the next time I got onto the court."
His first chance to respond to Karl's challenge starts Tuesday, when the Nuggets begin summer league practice in Las Vegas.
Kleiza said he understands how deep Denver is at forward but said he has been told he will likely spend the season with the Nuggets instead of the NBDL.
"I'm ready to be here full-time," he said. It's going to take a lot of hard work." ...
Sanchez, wearing what he called the first suit of his life, on his draft night experience: "I couldn't breathe. I couldn't talk to my mom. I was very, very nervous. It's just a new experience. I'm willing to work for it."

"The heartlessness of his acts is indescribable," Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Masada told a federal court judge last week, asking that Randall Morrison be sentenced to more than two years in prison. Morrison's crime ranks pretty high on the despicable meter, stealing $142,000 from the Ronald McDonald House Holiday Cruise while serving as treasurer of the charity's subsidiary.
"Mr. Morrison's insatiable desire for money is inexcusable," Masada added, noting that Morrison earned at times $160,000 a year in legitimate income. "While the defendant was fixated on improving his already high standard of living, the true victims of his crime were consumed with the fragility of life itself."
Morrison was to have been sentenced last Friday, but his attorney, a public defender, withdrew from the case and new counsel must now be appointed, said U.S. Attorney spokeswoman Emily Langlie. As a result, it could take up to 30 days for his punishment to be meted out.
Prosecutors, meanwhile, say the 50-year-old Morrison drained the charity of its financial reserves, using money that was to have gone toward helping very sick children and their families to bankroll his own lifestyle.
Morrison, who began to work for the holiday cruise charity seven years ago, claims he was forced to steal to pay gambling debts he incurred to pay for his wife's health problems.
As Seattle PI.com reports:
As the theft continued, Morrison -- who left his job at Microsoft and moved to Ohio in 2006 -- had all the charity's bank statements and financial statements sent directly to him. He fabricated reports to the charity's board to hide the fact that the charity's accounts were dwindling.
The embezzlement came to light in January 2009, when Morrison's new employer -- Morrison was its chief financial officer -- contacted the charity about apparent fraud on Morrison's business credit card. The investigation that followed showed more than $100,000 had gone missing.

April 30, 2016
Health officials in Pitt County announced Friday that a person has been diagnosed with the chikungunya virus. This is the eighteenth case of the virus reported in North Carolina this year.
Symptoms of chikungunya develop three to seven days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. The most common symptoms are fever and joint pain, but others may also suffer from headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, or rash.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chikungunya is usually not deadly, but the symptoms can be severe and disabling. Most people feel better after about a week, though some may experience joint pain for months.
There is no treatment for chikungunya, but the CDC recommends the following to help decrease the symptoms:
-Get plenty of rest
-Drink fluids to prevent dehydration
-Take medicines, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen, or paracetamol, to relieve fever and pain.
Newborn babies, adults over the age of 65 and people with medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure are at greater risk for more severe complications from chikungunya.
There is no vaccine for chikungunya, and the CDC says the best prevention is to avoid mosquito bites. Interestingly, the mosquitoes that spread the chikungunya virus tend to bite mostly during the daytime.

Bangladesh coup attempt: 5 members of banned Islamist outfit arrested
Back To Main Bangladesh
Dhaka: Bangladesh's elite counter-terrorist force, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) on Friday arrested five members of the banned Hizb-ut-Tahrir from Dhaka, a day after the army said it had foiled a coup attempt. Sources said that one of the main plotters has been identified as Major Zia-ul-Haq who's linked to the extremist religious group.
A detective of the RAB was injured during the arrests, some media reports said.
The Bangladesh army had said yesterday that Major Haq's links with Hizb-ut-Tahrir are proved, as the extremist outfit distributed leaflets reading the 'Tale of Major Zia-ul-Haq' soon after his remarks about his 'detention' were posted on Facebook.
Major Haq was posted at the Mirpur Cantonment, near the capital Dhaka.
According to the Bangladesh army, Major Haq met a senior officer on December 22 and tried to provoke him into using the army against the state. The officer immediately informed the appropriate authorities, and his leave and transfer orders were cancelled.
He did not return to work and is absconding.
Major Haq sent an email late last month alleging, among other charges, an Indian plot to turn Bangladesh into a client state. Major Haq and his fellow plotters have been against the recent growing closeness between Dhaka and New Delhi.
Bangladesh, a parliamentary democracy, has a long history of coups and counter coups.
The country was under direct or indirect military rule for over a decade, since August 15, 1975, when Bangladesh's founding leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was assassinated along with most of his family members.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that after the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, elements in the army had staged around 18 to 19 coups, in which thousands of people had to die, Daily Star reported.

Hootenanny: A Community
For the past three years, writer and musician Jim Walsh has worked tirelessly to cultivate an intensely personal, constantly evolving event known as the Mad Ripple Hootenanny. What started as a one-off gig in the basement of Java Jack's coffee shop in south Minneapolis turned into a weekly affair and hosted unamplified performances by a wide range of talent. Each week, up-and-coming local folk singers like Brianna Lane, Stook, and Chastity Brown would find themselves seated next to some of Walsh's better-known musical pals (Dan Wilson, Ike Reilly, and Billy Bragg have all made multiple appearances at the hoot). In addition to providing a safe haven for musicians of all experience levels, the Hootenanny has developed its own sense of community. Artists, writers, musicians, and photographers gather regularly to watch, listen, and document the event, and one photographer in particular, Tony Nelson, has spent the past couple of years photographing musicians live at the Hoot as well as at home, on the road, and in their practice spaces. Nelson's work will be on display starting this Friday in an exhibit he has titled "Hootenanny: A Community," and it's a recommended event for fans of local music and intimate portraiture alike. After years of shooting bands for print publications (including City Pages), Nelson is showing some of his most artistic and evocative work yet the Hootenanny exhibit.

Staff writer Aimee Curl relayed an anecdote this morning about how she and her mother were walking along Ballard Ave. with an umbrella this weekend. Here, they were encountered by a non-umbrella wielder. The conversation went as follows:
Non-umbrella wielder: "Cardinal sin."
Curl: "What?"
Non-umbrella wielder: "Carrying an umbrella in Seattle."
Curl was surprised to hear that her managing editor is firmly in the camp of the non-umbrella wielder, to the point where I might have heckled her and her mom as well. Why? For one, if you're of a certain height (i.e., above 6'), umbrellas might as well be head-seeking darts. Secondly, natives of Rain City -- and those who dare adopt it as their home -- embrace the rain, not accessorize to defend against it. Herein, a baseball cap and waterproof jacket (and, okay, maybe a pair of duck shoes when there's standing water like there was today on Delridge) are declared to be the only forms of "rain gear" that a true Seattleite can don with a clear conscience.
For her part, Curl doesn't buy this line. "That?s the silliest thing I?ve ever heard," says the Bend, Ore. native. " I also think it speaks to the native nature to not be proactive, but passive aggressive." Then there's Mark Fefer, a King County native who once subscribed to my doctrinaire rainology, yet had his will broken during one of his repeat sabbaticals in New York City. "I remember when I first moved to the east coast and wondered why everyone lugged these stupid things around," says Fefer, who, curiously, has spent the entire day wearing a black ballcap bearing the name of an obscure jazz label. "Then I finally started using one. And I realized, you know what? I don?t actually like being rained on. And I?ll never go back."
