Kaoko® Friction Cruise Control for Most Motorcycles
Adding cruise control to most motorcycles ranges somewhere between impossible and outrageously expensive, but a friction-style cruise can be an affordable option. The best friction cruise control in our experience is the Kaoko motorcycle cruise control. The friction nut on the Kaoko cruise control has a left-hand thread, so you can grip it with your palm and small finger when you roll on the throttle and tighten it to the tension needed to maintain the throttle in the desired position. The friction nut won't prevent you from turning the throttle, but it will add resistance to the movement. Disengage by gripping the friction nut as before and rolling off the throttle. The Kaoko friction cruise control can be fitted to many motorcycles and reduces rider fatigue and strain on your hand and wrist on long rides.
Features & Benefits:
* Greatly reduces rider fatigue and strain on hand and wrist
* While cruising, rider is able to remove hand from throttle grip, throttle opening will remain as set
* Very simple to operate, even with heavy winter gloves
* High quality, compact and durable design, super smooth action
* Takes less than 5 minutes to fit
* Very little maintenance is required
* Less wear and tear on throttle cables and linkages
* Can result in reduced fuel consumption
To install, just remove the right hand bar weight (if your motorcycle has a bar weight), replace it with Kaoko's bar weight (if applicable), apply lock tight, and firmly tighten the central retaining screw.
The friction nut has a left-hand thread. It must be adjusted so that it makes light contact with the rubber throttle sleeve.
To Engage: While rolling on the throttle, the friction nut can be gripped between the small finger and palm of hand. This action tightens the nut and provides sufficient friction to set throttle to the desired opening. (The friction is such that the rider may still open and close the throttle. It simply has a slight stiffness to it.)
To Disengage: While rolling off the throttle, grip friction nut between small finger and palm of hand. The throttle should open and snap closed freely when correctly disengaged.
Kaoko™ Safety Warning: The Kaoko™ Cruise Control is an aftermarket accessory. Any misunderstood, abused or incorrectly installed motorcycle accessory is a safety hazard that could cause injury or death. It's the rider's responsibility to understand the operation and purpose for which the Kaoko™ Cruise Control is designed, namely, for cruising, only when safe to do so. At all other times the control should be disengaged. The Kaoko™ Cruise Controls are to be used only by experienced and responsible riders. Below you will find fitment by bike model.

Exploring Darwin and the fried frog...
This morning we dropped off the car and took the opportunity to head into Darwin and explore the city. There is a really cool waterfront area which has just been developed over the last few years and is still a work in progress with new apartments being built.
We walked around much of the waterfront area and the city itself and came upon a naval ceremony at the war memorial in Bicentennial Park. We spoke to ...

Acclaimed actress Rosie Perez, one of entertainment's biggest boxing fans, will team with one of boxing's most famous voices, Barry Tompkins at the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame Dinner and Ceremony August 9. The two will share the stage in the Cohiba Ballroom inside the New Tropicana, Las Vegas, as co-MC's of the lavish gala, where 18 Inductees will stand as Class of 2014.
Rosie Perez is an Academy Award nominated actress, and Emmy nominated choreographer, who continues to shine in her varied roles both in front and behind the camera. She starred recently in such films as "Gods Behaving Badly" and "Won't Back Down", had memorable roles in "Pineapple Express" opposite James Franco and Seth Rogan, and "It Could Happen To You" opposite Nicholas Cage. She became a favorite of the sporting public in her co-starring role as Woody Harrelson's girlfriend in "White Men Can't Jump". Rosie has received numerous awards and honors, among them a 2006 NAACP Image Award. Ms. Perez has been a vocal activist, especially for those causes related to inner-city youth and AIDS.
Barry Tompkins is a 45 year network television veteran. Already inducted into several Halls of Fame himself, Tompkins is well-known for his boxing acumen, which he displayed first in his ten years as lead broadcaster on HBO World Championship Boxing. He followed that with stints at ESPN, FOX Sports and now as blow-by-blow broadcaster on Showtime's popular ShoBox Series. He has called over 200 World Championship fights, Oakland Raiders football, San Francisco Giants baseball, the Rose Bowl, Wimbledon and the Olympic Games.
NVBHOF President Rich Marotta said "We have gone coast-to-coast to get a Dream Team to emcee our Induction Dinner. Rosie Perez, who attends many cards and tweets constantly about boxing, comes here from New York. Barry Tompkins, one of the greatest voices in sportscasting history, joins us from San Francisco. We couldn't be prouder to have them, and they will only add to the fan's enjoyment of a special evening. "
Remaining tickets for the NVBHOF Induction Dinner/Ceremony can be purchased on-line at: nvbhof.com The NVBHOF is an IRS 501-c-3, non-profit, charitable organization. Ticket purchases are tax deductible
Rosie Perez and Barry Tompkins are two outstanding boxing personalities. Rosie has been an in-studio guest of me and Gerry Cooney, and knows an incredible amount about what's happening in the sport today. Barry is nothing less than a joy to be around and talk boxing with.
I remember his call on HBO of Tyson's beating Trevor Berbick for the heavyweight title:
"There is a new era in the heavyweight division..."
Wish I could be out in Las Vegas for this tremendous dinner.

Last night I took a stroll down sixth street to take a look at what the last day of the Interactive Festival had to offer. Unfortunately most of the films and gaming happened before 5pm, but I was still able to see the remnants of the daily activities.
I was able to see Motorhead playing at Stubbs, local musicians playing at multiple local bars, and people crowding the streets. People of all ages strolled along the sidewalks of downtown Austin with cameras hoping to get that perfect shot for their Facebook page or pictures on Twitter. I saw musicians trying to find their way to their venue or just simply enjoying the festivities, all of which helped to create the atmosphere for the famous SXSW music festival.
As you walk along sixth street and even on fifth and fourth, you could see lines forming hours before the shows start. You could also hear people conversing about their experiences during the past week and their hopes of what excitement will come in the next week ahead. SXSW is just another great pastime that Austin has to offer for years to come.

The Upper West Side's funkiest sushi house has been drawing fans since 1986 with its sumptuous sushi and sashimi and a loopy party atmosphere. Don't expect Zen serenitythis place rocks to a throbbing techno beat with disco-like décor of black walls accented by red and purple spotlights, white table-clothed tables, life-sized street lamps, and circuit board sculptures that glow. The well-heeled casual crowd can be boisterous, fueled by neon-hued cocktails with names like Mojito Chan, Golden Geisha, and Bloody Mariko. A dozen sakés are also available. But the true attraction is the food. Start with the shrimp and vegetable tempura that features fried, panko-crusted crustaceans, as well as morsels of broccoli, carrot, sweet potato, and pumpkin. Also consider the Negimaki, bursting with scallions. All sushi and sashimi selections are expertly prepared and artfully presented. The special rolls are standouts, especially the Striped Roll with tuna and avocado and alternating stripes of wasabi tobiko and orange tobiko, and the Crazy Tuna Roll of seared peppered tuna, and avocado, and topped with spicy tuna. For a place that doesn't take itself too seriously, this is serious eats.Extra
Let the server know it's your birthday and at meal's end you'll be treated to ice cream tempura in strawberry sauce crowned with sparklers accompanied by a crowd-stopping rendition of the Olympics theme music.Recommended Dishes

Lottery lowdown
Tuesday night, the Heat was a mere spectator (something it has grown quite accustomed to over the past month), but still had a decided stake in the NBA Draft lottery.
Fortunately (except for those who love to watch Isiah Thomas squirm), the Bulls did not turn their acquired lottery selection from the Knicks into Greg Oden. Otherwise, it well could have been game over for the Eastern Conference for years to come.
Closer to home, the status quo figures to continue in the Southeast for a while, with the Bobcats failing to move up. Put Oden or even Kevin Durant alongside Emeka Okafor, Raymond Felton, Gerald Wallace and Adam Morrison and the future of the division could have been decided.
Atlanta did make a significant move, not only by landing the No. 3 pick, up from its No. 4 seed, but also will wind up by the No. 11 pick of the Pacers. Had the Hawks placed fourth or lower, their top selection would have gone to the Suns to close out the Joe Johnson trade.
Still, these are the Hawks, who manage to screw up practically everything. Heck, even their ownership situation remains muddled. Will Brandan Wright or Al Horford truly make a decisive difference? Possibly. But not right away. Not with a team still lacking stability at point guard and with a recent history of flubbed draft picks, one that now must forward next year's top pick, regardless of lottery fate, to the Suns.
All in all, the Heat made out fine. The West got the best, with Portland about to embrace Oden and Seattle to land Durant.
The upshot with the Sonics is there now could be a legitimate chance for a team to make a run at Rashard Lewis, should the Seattle forward opt out of his contract by June 30.
This could have been a night when the East made a major move at the Heat's expense. Instead, it proved to be little more than heartache in Boston and no luck in the conference beyond what Atlanta experienced.
Overall, the lottery was relatively forgiving for Pat Riley's team.

There are rumors floating around of a possible National Football League lockout that could possibly come as soon as the 2011 season. While having a talk with players DeMaurice Smith, NFL Players Association executive director said a lockout is very likely.
"On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 14," Smith said on ESPN.
However NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says otherwise.
"You don't make money by shutting down your business," Goodell said on Sirius NFL Radio.
The NFL has a salary cap. This means teams have to pay at least $86.4 million in salaries and could give out as much as $116.2 million to players. Most of the money for player's salaries comes from national TV contracts. There is no cap on coaching, scouting and other staff.
It was thought that the league would have a new deal by the end of July.
But that didn't happen.
The length of a contract and money are the two main factors behind the delay in reaching a new agreement. The NFL prefers a short-term agreement of two years, for the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
The NFL's collective bargaining deal with the players also ends this year and there is no salary cap. Yet a national TV deal has been reportedly made.
The difference between high revenue and low revenue teams is the result of local radio contracts and local sponsorship dollars.
Teams that are more popular and successful tend to charge more for tickets but smaller market teams make less sales but still make revenue sharing on tickets sold.
For example, economically, Detroit may be in for a horrible football season especially due to a very high unemployment rate there and the potential of General Motors going bankrupt.
Goodell has taken a 20 percent pay cut and the league has laid-off 169 employees due to the recent economic recession. The NFL put out a recent statement saying, "It will continue to take collective sacrifice to get through this challenging economic environment, but these and other steps by our office and clubs will enable us to be more efficient and better positioned for future growth."
Some players are preparing for what's to come. Many are being urged to save 25 percent of their salaries.
"We've told them, 'don't go out and buy a new boat. Don't go out and buy a new car. Pay off whatever debts you have,'" said Indianapolis Colts center and player rep to ESPN.
"These are things we've been learning from history," he said.

FRESNO, Calif. - Despite being split between two meets, the Fresno State track and field programs had strong showings at both the Mt. San Antonio Relays and the Bryan Clay Invitational. Bulldogs set personal records and placed high in their respective events during the meets.
Sophomore Taylor Jackson helped set the tone by scoring a personal best 4,841 points in her first heptathlon of the year, two points higher than her previous mark. She set personal records in the high jump (1.57m) and long jump (5.58m).
Sophomore Olivier Bernard ran the 1500m event in both meets, beating his time from at the Mt. SAC Relays by 3.82 seconds at the Bryan Clay Invitational to finish in 3:46.57 and set a new personal record in the process.
Mt. SAC Relays
Sophomore Meagan McKee won the open shot put with a toss of 16.02m. Fellow sophomore Caitlin Byrd set a personal best in the hammer throw (57.90m).
On the track, freshman Lyndsie Etherton set a new personal record in the 5000m after finishing in 16:48.26. And facing fields with over 40 competitors, senior Remington Blair finished 12th and junior Breeauna Thompson finished 11th respectively in the 400m dash.
Junior Cameron Parker set season-bests in the 100m (10.55) and 200m (21.64) dash. And sophomore Michael Jamieson ran a season-best 1:51.73 in the 800m.
Bryan Clay Invitational
Senior Emmanuel Jackson set a personal record in the triple jump. His 15.06m mark was good for fourth place.
Sophomore Tanae Turner set personal records in both the 100m and 200m dashes. She finished the 100m in 12.01 seconds and won her heat in the 200m dash with a time of 24.52, nearly a second better than her previous best.
Senior Latrisha Jordan finished second in the 400m hurdles with a time of 59.23 seconds, just .01 seconds behind the winner.
Fresno State heads to Berkeley, Calif. next for the Brutus Hamilton Invitational April 27-28. It will be the last meet before the Western Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships May 8-11.

While many investors and consumers might still be watching the Cyprus story play out, it's important not to overlook a big deal between AmerisourceBergen (NYSE:ABC) — one of the largest pharmaceutical wholesalers in the world — and retail drug store chain Walgreen (NYSE:WAG).
Both stocks were up more than 5% late Tuesday on news of a 10-year supplier deal in which Walgreen can buy up to 7% of AmerisourceBergen shares and an additional 16% down the road through warrants.
Cardinal Health (NYSE:CAH), previously the supplier for Walgreen, was slumping almost 7% after being dropped for ABC.
So why does this deal matter? Well, let's look at recent history for context:
WAG operates more than 8,000 drugstores, but in 2012 it snapped up a 45% stake in European pharmacy chain Alliance Boots for $6.7 billion. That added influence in almost 5,000 new locations in a new market.
Part of this expansionary move was to fend off some competitive pressure. Also in 2012, pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts (NASDAQ:ESRX) merged with Medco to create the largest PBM in the nation with some 1.4 billion prescriptions filled annually and over $100 billion in annual revenue. As a benefits manager, ESRX processes payments and negotiates prices — and there was a big spat between the company and Walgreen over payment issues around this same time, showing the risk a massive PBM like Express Scripts posted to profitability.
Now we arrive at the current news, where Walgreen is getting cozy with its wholesaler in an effort to control costs on the front end.
Theoretically, a few years down the road Walgreen could have a majority stake in Alliance Boots and a significant ownership stake in ABC — giving it massive influence in the recession-proof area of prescription drugs.
Walgreen stock is up about 37% since mid-November as the dust settled from the ESRX dispute and other favorable headlines like this.
There obviously are lots of risks to retail drug stores, including the ugly margins on "front of store" purchases and the continued threat from online pharmacies. There's also pressure to keep down drug costs, both from companies like Express Scripts who manage the benefits and from regulators after the Obamacare legislation and recent focus on healthcare costs.
However, Walgreen is the biggest fish in this business (by number of locations), and an alliance with ABC will help it prop up margins.
Similarly, AmerisourceBergen said, "the deal will add $28 billion in revenue and about 20 cents per share in earnings to its fiscal 2014 performance."
There are a lot of winners here, both with the short-term pop and with the long-term margins and market share to be gained.
Don't forget the 2.5% dividend on WAG stock, either, if you're thinking long-term. The company has paid a dividend for 80 straight years, and it has paid higher amounts each year for the past 37.

Alert for Chicago-area fans: If you watch the show on WGN-TV, it will not be airing tonight – it's being pre-empted for a baseball game. Do Not Go Gentle (EP320) will air on WGN-TV on Sunday, April 29 at 7 p.m. Thanks to Kim for letting us know!

Candice Accola has said that tomorrow night's Do Not Go Gentle (EP320) is one of her favorite episodes, and in a new video interview at Give Me My Remote, she talks about why:
"We get to prove as actors that none of us are capable of dancing and saying our lines at the same time. . . . But it's fun to see everyone all dressed up and come together."
She also explains why she's loved watching Caroline grow as a character.

Candice Accola and Joseph Morgan spoke with TVLine about what's coming up for the complicated dynamics between their characters – especially given a certain upcoming reunion. (Warning: Spoilers through current episodes!) But is Caroline starting to soften toward Klaus? Nope.
"She's not interested at all," Accola maintains. "She can completely see that he's not a good person and that he's selfish and that he's done nothing but come in and ruin the lives of the people that she's loved."
But it sounds like Klaus isn't giving up any time soon:
Klaus will use the worldliness that comes with his Euro sound to try and sweep Caroline off her feet. Because from where he stands, "She deserves to see more of the world and to witness more of the culture and to make a bigger impact in the world, make bigger waves," argues the Original's portrayer, Joseph Morgan.

To Troy Clarke, a shrub is not a piece of landscape. It's a cocktail ingredient.
A shrub -- fresh fruit either macerated or cooked or soaked in water, to make it a liquid -- is one of the many ingredients we saw the former food and beverage director of the Royal Sonesta Boston Hotel use when he created the innovative cocktails that brought him to the attention of a wider audience than that hotel a year ago.
This innovative and creative mixologist -- one of only five in Massachusetts certified by the Beverage Alcohol Resource Educational Program (BAR) -- drew so much attention with his passion for the art of cocktail mixing -- that the Martignetti Companies grabbed him away from the hotel to make him their own Director of Mixology and Spirits Educator, Genesis Division. The company never had such a title before, so they made it up just for Clarke, who also serves as President of the United States Bartenders Guild, Boston Chapter.
"I lead all the education for the company," said Clarke, whose monthly cocktail classes at the Sonesta's ArtBar Restaurant sold out a year ahead for students who wanted to learn the art of the cocktail. "I couldn't ask for a better position." Martignetti company must feel the same way, as a week ago, they sent him to Las Vegas for cocktail seminars, and he won first place in the "Hoptails" competition, using beer in a cocktail recipe. He's also teaching spirits classes at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education.
We took one of Clarke's last classes at the Royal Sonesta, called "Bitters/Shrubs/Syrups," and learned more in 90 minutes about the drinks we drink and why and how to make them than we learned from half a century of embibing.
Clarke, who began his career washing dishes in a bakery near his Long Island home and worked long hours through managing hotel front desks, cooking and mixing cocktails and running food festivals all over North America and the Caribbean, has a passion for the art of cocktail making that is infectious. "I didn't know what I didn't know," he laughs, when reminiscing about working 80 hours a week in restaurants and hotels, sometimes for free to get the experience. As head of food and beverage operations at the newly opened Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Grand Cayman Island in 2007 he created the first Food and Wine Festival in the Cayman Islands, called "Cayman Cooks."
"I started working in food and beverage before I was old enough to drink," the cocktail innovator recalled, "but I was always thinking about beverages and specialty drinks. I began to get excited about cocktails, bartending and mixology before I began tasting."
Clarke brings to cocktails what chefs have brought to the restaurant business, with farm-to-table ingredients from as many local purveyors as possible. Bitters, for example, used to be available in two kinds only, he says: Angostura or Peychauds. "Now, bars have an arsenal of bitters, made from roots, flowers, herbs and flavoring agents," he notes. "Bitters, to a bartender, are like and salt and pepper to a food chef."
Clarke reads and studies about the art of mixology in his spare time, just for fun. Since his joining Martignetti, the company has been inspired to launch the formation of Genesis Brands, an exclusive collection of superb quality spirits selected by world renowned spirits critic F. Paul Pacult, editor of Spirit Journal, for star rating, and Clarke. The two have joined forces to bring retailers and restaurateurs the best-of-the-best, top-rated spirits portfolio from United Liquors, a division of Martignetti. Clarke calls Genesis the company's craft cocktails, using quality liquors made in small batches.
Married and the father of four, Clarke answers when asked what his favorite cocktail is, "It's so hard to say; I love sipping rum straight and I love gin and bourbon the same way. I love things neat," says this master of mixing things together, who has opened a full training facility bar at the company's Braintree office.

For many people, going to a church is something they do out of fear. They think that, if they don't, God is going to send them to hell. It is often the case that a person gets "saved" and becomes a Christian. However, after a few weeks of trying not to cuss, not to have lustful thought, not to be envious, or covetous, and so forth, the new convert just gives up. He just decides that it's too much work being a Christian.
The sects of Christianity have responded to this typical pattern by twisting two biblical precepts and making them into something they were never intended to teach. The first is the doctrine that we are saved by grace and the second is that good works don't matter. If sectarian interpretations are accepted, what happens is the believer passively rides along through life thinking he's got a "get out of hell free" card to play at the day of judgment, simply because he says he believes in Jesus.
Mormons believe the Bible and harmonize the seemingly contradictory teachings of Paul and the other apostles regarding faith and works. We believe that our only hope of eternal life depends on receiving the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ. However, we also understand that faith requires us to become "doers of the word, not hearers only" (James 1:22). God expects believers to DO good works.
Good works are not the price of salvation. They are the evidence of it. James said that faith is dead if it is not accompanied by works (James 2:26). Even Martin Luther, who is widely credited with inventing the doctrine sola fide (by faith alone), said this:
Faith is a living, restless thing. It cannot be inoperative. We are not saved by works; but if there be no works, there must be something amiss with faith. (Bainton, Roland H. Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther. New York: New American Library, 1950; 1978. p.259)
Luther understood that faith in God's grace and mercy brings about a change of heart. That change of heart brings the Spirit of God into our lives and that Spirit prompts us to do good works. Nevertheless, anti-Mormon critics always want to misrepresent our views and tell others that Mormons believe that they must work their way to heaven.
The Bible is replete with passages that tell us that God will judge us according to our works. The dead, great and small, will be judged from what is written in the book of life, according to their works (Revelation 20:12-13). Even the most famous verse in the New Testament, John 3:16, is followed by an exhortation to good works (deeds).
16 ¶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 ¶He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
How many times has your pastor quote verses 16 and 17 to you? How many times have you read the verses that follow them? Can you not see it? People whose deeds are evil love darkness rather than light—even if they say they believe. They avoid coming to the light because their deeds—their works—are unrighteous. Those who dwell in faith—who show their faith through their works—come into the light because they don't fear.
Heaven is going to be filled with forgiven people who tried their best to leave behind their sinful ways and keep God's commandments. They won't be perfect; nobody ever will be in this life. But their good deeds will show that they have come into God's light. Those who say they believe, but really continue to do evil deeds, will never have the courage to come out of the shadows that hide their evil works.
There is a pall of sorrow that overlays this mortal existence. There is so much sin that is carried silently by so many. It dampens joy. It prevents peace. It leads people to drown that sorrow with alcohol, drugs, and various distractions. People find that they are most ill-at-ease when they must be alone with their own thoughts, where that still, small voice whispers to their hearts that there is a better way.
The better way is to believe and obey God's commandments. When Jesus was asked by a sincere young man who wanted to know what he could do to have eternal life, Jesus told him to "keep the commandments" (Luke 18:20). If you really want to be happy, you need to stop doing what's wrong and do what's right.
How do you know what's right? Follow your heart. Your conscience will tell you what you should do. You know you should not lie, or steal, or cheat. It will warn you when you consider doing something wrong. Follow that little "angel" that tells you to do good. You'll never regret doing the right thing. It always pays off in the end. Giving in to the "bad angel" leads you to regret. Most of all, just do what your parents taught you: don't be mean! The easiest way to tell the good people from the evil ones is that the evil ones are mean! They harangue and harass the ones that try to do right. The demean and ridicule goodness and call it naïve or unsophisticated. They call evil good and deride the good, calling it evil. Just look at all the hateful anti-Mormon critics who claim to be followers of Christ, but spend their time repeating the dishonest things they've heard other dishonest people say.
If Mormons do good works, they will find harmony with Christians, Muslims, or any other person who is trying to do good. Setting aside doctrinal differences and meanness, we can all work together to feed the hungry, house the homeless, protect children from exploitation by pornographers and sex traffickers. We can transform our neighborhoods and cities into places where racism and poverty disappear. When we do good works, God's blessings will shower down upon us and the world around us. It's why Jesus told us to let our lights shine before the world.
Faith is important because it's the first step. Just because it is the first step, it doesn't mean that it's more important than following through with good deeds. Now, let's go and do the right thing today.

Authorities Search for Monona Man Wanted on Child Endangerment, Drug Charges
By Lee Hermiston and Forrest Saunders, Reporters
Story Created: Jul 30, 2013 at 1:32 PM CDT
Story Updated: Jul 31, 2013 at 6:47 AM CDT
MONONA, Iowa - Authorities are asking for the public's help in finding a Monona man wanted on drug and child endangerment charges.
In a press release Tuesday, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said they're looking for Troy Laufenberg, wanted on four charges: child endangerment, possession with intent to deliver, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The DCI said charges stem from an incident that happened July 15 at Laufenberg's apartment on East Center Street in Monona. Local police couldn't give specific details, but say they were called there for a report of an injured 18-month-old.
Four days later, authorities executed a search warrant on the property. They said they issued the arrest warrants for Laufenburg based on the evidence they collected.
Monona's police chief says as time wears on, it could become more and more difficult to track Laufenberg down.
"I thought the first week with the Facebook, it went viral, and I thought then that some concerned citizen would come forward. I hope he's still in the state," Chief Jane Scott-Quandahl said.
Police think Laufenberg could be in the Dubuque area, because he has friends and family members there.
If you have any information on Laufenburg's location, call the DCI at 563-599-4239.
Authorities don't think Laufenburg is dangerous, but they're telling people to keep their distance.

Terraria will be available on the Vita in Japan beginning February 6 and they are definitely in for a treat! The Japanese version of the game will feature Toro as a playable character. Players will be able to build and explore as Sony's mascot through an open-world ready for mining.
Along with Toro, the Japanese version will also be greeted with Monomi, who is is the half pink/half white bunny from Super Danganropa 2. Super Danganropa 2 is an action-adventure murder mystery game that was remade for the PS Vita in Japan and released last October.
Not only would it be great to see both Toro and Monomi make their way to the North American version of Terraria, but it would be fantastic to see Super Danganropa 2 make its way here, as well. The game involves a murder mystery in which the player must solve the murder of several students in a crazy world of despair. Who wouldn't want a great murder mystery title for the PS Vita?
While Daganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, which is the first game in the series is scheduled for a Western release on February 11, 2014, we await an announcement for the release of Super Danganronpa 2 in the West, as well.

5 Steps To Get Her To Role Play
5 Tips To Encourage Role Play In the Bedroom
Page 2 of 2
3- Encourage her to express her fantasiesThe last thing you want to do is show up at her door with a blonde wig and a cheerleading outfit for her and nothing for you. It's not exactly fair for her if you're the only one who's getting to live out your fantasy about being with someone else. If you do that, it won't take her long to figure out the whole thing is just about you and has nothing to do her or your relationship.
Encourage her to live out a few of her own role-playing fantasies by going into sex shops together and having her pick out something for you. That way, you'll make her feel like this plan is every much her idea as it yours. You'll also send a clear message that you are so confident in the relationship that she can fantasize about somebody other than you.
4- Take the situation seriouslyWhile cracking jokes and being funny may have gotten you to this point, it will only get you on the couch for the night if you break the mood and laugh at her. The goal is to make her feel comfortable and you can't do that by making fun of how she looks, how she sounds or what she's doing.
So much of role playing is about being in the right state of mind. It's damn near impossible to get to the mental place you need to be if you think somebody is laughing at you or judging every move you make. If you take the situation seriously and show her some respect, she will do the same thing for you. If you don't, you'll be lucky to even get the "three minutes of missionary-style sex with the lights off" ever again.
5- Deal with your own insecuritiesIt can be pretty stunning at first to see how much your woman can get into this. You're bringing out a part of her you never thought you would see — her with somebody else. It's easy to get a little intimidated the first time you hear her moan "Harder Miguel" or "I love your big rod."
Women can smell your insecurity like dogs can smell fear. The key is to be confident and never forget that you're the one getting her off — not anybody else. role playing is fantasy, it's not real, and neither are your concerns about her being with someone else.
keeping it freshA healthy sex life is vital to any healthy relationship. When you get bored with the sex, it's easy to get bored with the relationship. Pretending the two of you are other people, wearing something a little different and acting a little risqu in a protected environment are simple and safe ways to keep your sex life as interesting as your relationship.

Sunny Bank.
Friday [28 August 1857].
Here I am, Dear; an incarnation of "the bad sixpence"!1— Sixteen miles nearer home anyhow!— I left Edinr at 2 yesterday, was at LongNiddry by half past 2 and didn't get to Hadd: till 4!! Such complete misunderstanding exists between the little Hadd: cross train and all other trains; that one may lay one's account with having to wait always three quarters of an hour at the least. Then the waiting room is "too stuffy for anything"!—and the seated structure outside expressly contrived for catching cold in; so that one is fain to hang about on one's legs; in space! The bother of all this, taken together with the excitement of my rapturous welcome, kept me awake, in a high fever, till my doomed hour of four oclock, this morning.— or, something kept me awake, that the Devil only knows!
It was such an arrival after all! The Servants waiting outside the House, smiling and saying, "glad to see you back Mam"— Miss Jess tumbling into my arms on the threshold "faintly ejaculating" (as a novelist would say) "Our Precious"! "Our Beloved"!!— and beyond her, my Godmother a' donnering,2 with her hands stretched out; groping the air, and calling out in an excited way "Is that my Bairn?"3 The Niece and Grandniece4 were discreet enough to keep up stair till "the first flush o'r meeting" was over, but were very cordial when they appeared; to their credit I must say; they might easily, if spitefully minded, take offence at the preference shown me. Even in the midst of these raptures my eye sought and discovered your letter on the usual table—but I refrained from opening it (paragon of politeness that I was!) till dinner was over; for which I had already kept them waiting an hour.
They think me looking much better. Indeed my fortnight at Craigenvilla, with all its drawbacks of weekly fasts, inordinate reading to, gass, and watercistern was very good for my health, and on the whole pleasant to LIVE I cannot say which of my Aunts was the kindest to me; they were all three so kind! Grace knitted me a pair of such warm stockings while I was there! and Ann flowered me a most lovely collar, and Elizabeth procured a whole calve's stomach5 (!) for me (now in my carpet bag!) that I might have curds at home; as it was the thing I seemed to like best of all that they gave me to eat. And it was so pleasant talking about "dear old Long Ago" with those who I felt (for the first time perhaps) had interests in common with me in it! It was better so, surely I thought after our affectionate parting yesterday; far better so, than if I had gone to law with them about that fraction of my Grandfather's property I might have disputed; and even gained it! and put heart-burnings and resentment between my own Fathers sisters and me for evermore!6 A little true family affection is worth a great many hundreds of pounds! especially when one isnt needing pounds!
Since writing this sheet, I have been to Dirleton Castle!!7 and it is now dinner-time and I must take my letter to the post office immediately after, or you wont hear of me till Tuesday!
Yours affly / Jane WC
No day fixed yet—or indeed to be spoken of at the moment

Nestle Urged Not To Buy Chicken-Flavored Fungus Company Quorn
CSPI Cites Dangerous Allergic Reactions
December 13, 2010
WASHINGTONA nonprofit nutrition and food safety watchdog group is urging Nestlé not to purchase Quorn, a line of fungus-based fake meats that causes severe allergic reactionsincluding vomiting, diarrhea, and anaphylactic reactionsin some people. In a letter to Nestlé, the Center for Science in the Public Interest says that it will continue to press government agencies to withdraw Quorn from the market or at least require that it bear labels warning consumers of the risks of eating it.
Scientists first discovered Quorns fungus, Fusarium venenatum, in 1967 in a soil sample from the British town of Marlow. Grown in giant fermentation vats and continuously fed a supply of oxygen, glucose, and nutrients, Quorns fungus spawns a protein-rich paste. That paste is further processed into vaguely meaty chunks or strips. And in 1985, Marlow Foods introduced a savoury pie composed of what it now calls mycoprotein. Today, Quorn typically takes the shape of patties or nuggets designed to simulate chicken, as well as a one-pound cylindrical Turky Roast and ethnic dishes such as the Tikka pieces and Fillets in Tomato and Olive Sauce it sells in the U.K.
The scientists who found Quorns fungus might have had an inkling about their discovery when they chose the Latin venenatumor filled with venomfor its name. Sure enough, an early study by Quorns manufacturer found that 10 percent of 200 human subjects fed Quorn developed nausea or a stomachache. Other scientists found that Quorn caused allergic reactions in some patients. And in 2003, CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson published a letter in the journal Allergy characterizing the adverse reactions of 284 Quorn consumers (CSPI has a Web site to collect such reports). A subsequent article in the American Journal of Medicine reported that, according to a CSPI-commissioned telephone survey in Britain, a higher percentage of people believe they are sensitive to Quorn than to shellfish, milk, peanuts, wheat or other common allergens. Though no deaths have yet been linked to Quorn, anaphylaxis can be life-threatening.
It was clearly a mistake for food safety regulators in Europe, the United States, and Australia to approve Quorn for human consumption in the first place, Jacobson said. It would be a real tragedy for a major food company like Nestle to start marketing foods made with this harmful ingredient on a bigger scale. Theres so much concern about allergic reactions to conventional foods, so its especially inappropriate to broaden the marketing of an unnecessary and novel powerful allergen.
Quorn is presently owned by U.K.-based Premier Foods. It has been previously owned by private equity firms and the drug company AstraZeneca. CSPI has been urging the Food and Drug Administration to revoke its generally recognized as safe designation for Quorn mycoprotein, and CSPIs litigation unit has filed suit on behalf of an Pennsylvania woman who had a severe reaction from eating Quorn. Those efforts have not yet succeeded in getting Quorn off the market or requiring warning labels on the product, though previously CSPI got the company to at least acknowledge on the label that mycoprotein comes from a fungus.
I was curled in a ball on the bathroom floor for almost three hours continually throwing up, said Marisa Santanna, a behavioral health case manager from Harrisburg, PA, who ate Quorn nuggets and cutlets. It got so bad that I started to throw up blood. The next morning I felt fine, and I made the connection that the last time this happened I ate Quorn, too. I read the ingredients on the box and decided to look up mycoprotein and was shocked at what I found online. There isnt even a warning on the box.
Quorns manufacturer used to claim that its signature ingredient was mushroom based, but the company still describes Fusarium venenatum as an edible fungi [sic] like mushrooms, morels, or truffles. But Fusarium venenatum is quite unlike mushrooms, and is actually a form of moldsome of which are edible and some not. Other members of the Fusarium genus produce dangerous mycotoxins and have been studied for potential use as biological weapons or herbicides.
We have so many safe, sustainable, and wholesome fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to enjoy on their own and from which to make meat substitutes, Jacobson said. Why resort to vat-grown, allergenic mold? To me, Quorn seems better suited to dystopian science fiction than health food stores.

Mercury can be extremely dangerous for your unborn baby. Find out more about this by watching this video on pregnancy and mercury.
Transcript: You love tuna and other fish dishes, but, oh mercy, the mercury! Mercury compounds, like methylmercury,...
You love tuna and other fish dishes, but, oh mercy, the mercury! Mercury compounds, like methylmercury, are chemical byproducts dumped into our oceans and rivers, which can contaminate some of the fish we eat. While mercury hasn't yet been shown to significantly harm adults, it can be extremely bad for babies. When a pregnant woman ingests mercury from fish, it can pass easily through a mother's body into her baby's placenta. This metal is toxic to a baby's nervous system and can result in disabilities ranging from cerebral palsy to mental retardation. For this reason, it is wise to avoid large, high-mercury fish while pregnant, including: shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish. Another worrisome fish is tuna, which tends to have a moderate level of mercury. Tuna isn't completely off-limits, but pregnant women should limit their consumption of it, and avoid tuna steaks and filets, which have been shown to be high in the toxin. Instead, stick to light, canned tuna, and don't consume more than six ounces of it a week. You can feel safe about consuming smaller fish, like sardines, catfish and tilapia. Most shellfish is fine, as well, with the exception of lobster, which, like tuna has moderate mercury content. Unfortunately, methylmercury remains in your system for up to a year after it is consumed. A. Because mercury consumed even prior to pregnancy can harm a fetus, B. it's wise to minimize dangerous fish if you're trying to conceive. However, if you became pregnant unexpectedly and know that you've consumed large amounts of mercury, don't panic - it most likely won't have any consequences. However, you should stop eating fish that have mercury, and talk to your doctor. If you are concerned, you can always have a test performed to ascertain the level of mercury in your system. Today's pregnant woman needs to be very careful to minimize her mercury intake, but remember, just because mercury is bad for you doesn't mean you should stop eating fish.More »

If you look west from Las Vegas, you might spot some very red, rock formations in the foothills. Some of those rocks have been protected in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
The easiest way to see Red Rock Canyon NCA is the 13-mile scenic loop. It's a loop that passes more than a dozen trailheads and several canyons. So how do you pick a hike? I decided to ask at the Visitor's Center. The volunteer said his favorite hike was Keystone Thrust because of the geologic significance of the thrust and the far-reaching views. He said his wife's favorite hike was Calico Springs because of the scenic canyon you hike through. I went with "scenic canyon" for my first hike.
The hike to Calico Springs (also known as Calico Tanks) starts at the Sandstone Quarry trailhead on the park map (directions below). Find a parking space and head to the north end of the parking lot, by the bathrooms. Notice a sign here calls the Calico Tanks Trail "moderate." The park's brochure says the moderate is for people who regularly hike. That means if you don't hike very often, this trail may seem strenuous.
Walk down the path a short distance to an open area with some large rocks – this is the old Sandstone Quarry. In 1905, the Excelsior Stone Quarry "mined," or cut, giant blocks of sandstone here. The sandstone was shipped to Los Angeles and San Francisco for use as decorative building facades, according to a sign here. However, transporting the stone was too costly and the quarry went out of business. Other operators tried to make a go of the quarry and ran into the same problem. Stone cutting ended here in 1912.
After reading the historic sign, it's time to pick a trail. You may notice most people turning right at the clearing – that's because most people just climb the rocks here and leave. However, if you want to hike to the Calico Springs, you'll need to backtrack slightly and turn left in the middle of the clearing for the Calico Tanks Trail.
Cross the wash and follow the trail signs.
About a quarter mile from the trailhead, a sign tells visitors that a circular area nearby was an Agave Roast – a place where Native Americans would cook agave. While you are welcome to take a few steps over to the pit site and see it up close, visitors are asked not to walk on the site because it is sacred to modern day Native Americans.
After this short detour, it's back to the main trail. Eatch carefully for the next two trail signs to make sure you stay on the right trail. You'll soon find yourself going around the backside of the Calico Rock formation and into a canyon-like area. I loved this spot back here. You're walking in the trees, so there's some shade. And soon you'll find yourself doing a little a rock scrambling.
Don't forget to look up as you hike here. You'll have good views of Turtlehead Peak and the surrounding rock formations.
Now the hike is about to get harder. Instead of your typical hike through the sandy wash in the desert, here you're going to be using your hands, and maybe even an occasional knee, to do some rock scrambling. If you get to a spot where you feel stuck, look for foot prints in whatever sand is available and look for rock steps cut into the rocks or created by trail workers. The rock steps will lead you in the right direction. If you get really stuck and don't know what way to go, wait. It's likely, if the trail is busiest enough, that someone will soon be going up or down, and have some advice for you. Even on a Tuesday afternoon in March, the trail was very busy.
As you hike up the canyon, you may start to spot water-catch areas -- low spots in the rocks/wash where water collects. While this may look like a natural water tank, you're not there yet. You'll need to hike the full 1.25 miles with 750 feet of elevation gain to get to what I called the "big pool." This spot looks more like a water hole or pool than just a depression that catches water. You'll want to climb down to the shoreline and climb up high to see the area from above. This is a neat place.
But you're not done yet. Work your way along the shore to the right, or above it, to the rocks on the other side. The view up here is definitely worth your time! If you look closely, you'll notice you've actually circled the Calico Rocks and can now see the parking lot at Calico 1 – pretty cool.
This is a great spot for lunch with a view.
When you've explored the area, return the way you came and enjoy the canyon from the other direction. When you get to some of the full rock scrambling areas, maybe try going a different way than you went on the way up!
Details: The hike to the big Calico Tank, the viewpoint and back is about 2.65 miles with 900 feet of elevation gain with all the ups and downs.

On the air subject I have to agree with KTG, there is no way of making realistic use of air on the table as a constant, I love the Zzooooming over the battlefield thing I think thats ace!
Back to epic40k Vs. The best
The main problem I had with Epik 40k was that the FEEL of the game was lost for me, by getting rid of all the specific guns and replacing them with firepower I thought really lost the feel!
I know your argument is that all the 'essential' weapons were displayed with different stats, but you are refering to Titan weapons and things like death strikes.
So to combat that argument E:A is coming up with a new system for adjustable Titan weapons & Titan damage, also you can custom make certain titans to your whim & there are now several varients of titans available so you can buy the custom job you want. If you want the ability to adjust Titan weapons so you can tailor make your force to destroy a different kind of enemy then I say SIR, PLEASE!
So if your saying Epic 40k was a greater game because it had a Titans that really stood out, thats great but may you eat your words and wash them down with hush juice when the new E:A titan rules are released.
...Which should be 2019...& I'll be dead!

To adequately supply tissues with oxygen and nutrients, the formation of functional vascular networks requires generation of normal, healthy vessels and their arrangement into an effective network architecture. While our knowledge about the development of single vessels significantly increased during the last years, mechanisms responsible for network formation are still poorly understood. This is probably due to the lack of suitable methods for quantification of structural properties of microvascular networks. Previously we showed that cerebral blood flow is not increased in mice exhibiting a 2- to 3-fold higher density of normal and perfused capillaries as a result of transgenic overexpression of the human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF(165)). Here we used vascular corrosion casting and hierarchical micro-computed tomography combined with a new network analysis tool to characterize the vascular architecture in gray and white matter of these mice. Our results indicate that VEGF overexpression leads to formation of additional micro-networks connected to higher order vessels rather than insertion of individual capillaries into the existing vessel structure. This implies that the smallest "angiogenic quantum", i.e. the final, stable result of angiogenesis and subsequent remodeling, is not a single microvessel, but a complete micro-network. In conclusion, high-resolution 3D imaging combined with network analysis can substantially improve our understanding of vascular architecture, beneficial for the development of therapeutic angiogenesis as a clinical tool for applications such as wound healing or treatment of ischemic diseases.

A fart or expultion of air from a vagina. Very rarely, man queefes occur. This is when air is expelled from the hole in a penis
When i was licking her puss, she queefed in my mouth. It was sick.

Unemployment and demographics in June 2009
July 06, 2009
The unemployment rate, 9.5 percent, was little changed in June. Since the start of the recession in December 2007, the unemployment rate has risen by 4.6 percentage points.
In June, unemployment rates for the major worker groups—adult men (10.0 percent), adult women (7.6 percent), teenagers (24.0 percent), whites (8.7 percent), blacks (14.7 percent), and Hispanics (12.2 percent)—showed little change from May 2009.
Among the unemployed, the number of job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs (9.6 million) was little changed in June after increasing by an average of 615,000 per month during the first 5 months of this year.
The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) increased by 433,000 over the month to 4.4 million. In June, 3 in 10 unemployed persons were jobless for 27 weeks or more.
These data are from the Current Population Survey and are seasonally adjusted. More information can be found in "The Employment Situation: June 2009" (PDF) (HTML), news release USDL 09-0742.
