Honda Wave 110I Vs 125I
22 replies to this topic
Posted 2010-10-30 14:23:50
I've been looking at the new Honda Wave and I like the Wave with electric start, front disc brakes and fuel injection.
But I can see little difference between the 110cc and the 125cc just electronic display, twin headlights and of course a slightly bigger engine.
Is it worth an extra 10,000 baht (25%) for such a relatively small benefit or are there other, bigger, differences?
Incidentally the prices on motorcycle.in.th seem to be a bit out of date, quoting B38,000 for the 110 and B48,500 for the 125 - but I have just looked at B41,500 for the 110 and B52,000 for the 125 - or am I looking at the wrong prices?
Posted 2010-10-30 14:54:41
briley the new price may include the on the road costs, tax rego etc. I just had the same dilema. and i chose the 110i.
even 2 up the bike is fine at round town speeds not sure yet on the longer highway trips as its only done 32km's. but tmorro weather allowing i'm going to put a few more on. The bike is for my girlfriend and as a 7/11 bike.
It seems faster than my old kawasaki kaze 110. unless you are doing longer highway trips i would save ya money. (the 110i is fully capable of longer trips just a little slower)
Posted 2010-10-30 16:30:26
I want it for the two of us around town so I do not think I need the extra engine size. Lasted for the last 8 years on a 25 year old 100cc Dream.
I was wondering if I was missing some 'must have' item in the 125?
Could be correct on the price discrepancy as they did say free tax, insurance, helmet etc. Nothing is 'free'.
Posted 2010-10-30 16:35:52
in that case the 110i is perfect. The steering seems very, very light on them so beware (it could just be mine) lol
Posted 2010-10-31 05:11:40
We went for the 110i. Its supposed to have the same HP as the 125(carb/not i). I am not sure if the 125i has more power than the 125(carb) though. We have a 125i but its older and its no more powerful than the 110i. If you are comparing prices based on the showroom prices, those prices are negotiable. You will get it for a few thousand cheaper than the price tag even with the tax and registration included. I believe we paid 39K all in. Just make sure "all in" is very clear, especially if dealing with a smaller shop, not a dealer.
On top of it, the 110i is a totally new bike from the ground up. The 125i is just the same old 125cc motor/gearbox they have been using for many years in 125 waves and dreams but they just stuck fuel injection on it.
The gear boxes in those 125s are a bit clunky and are known for sticking in neutral for a second when shifting to 3rd gear if your driving a bit hard. We have had 2, a 125(carb) and a 125i and they both do the very same 3rd gear thing. Soon as we start describing it to a shop, they interupt and say "Gear 3, chai mai?". There is nothing they can do about it, thats just what those gear box often do (when driving them a bit hard). I thought I was gonna blow them up more than once but they are built strong enough to take it! Driving hard through 1st, shift to 2nd, crank it, shift to 3rd, crank it, WHAAAAAAAAAA, red lining like it its in neutral, back off throttle, RPM comes down then it clicks engaging into 3rd without even touching the shifter.
I highly recommend the 110i over the 125i even if they were priced the same. The only negative I can say about the 110i is that it seems to be built a bit lighter/cheaper. The fit on the plastics, particularly around the taillight is not very good and the disc brake caliper is now only one piston instead of double although it does stop on a dime. I have just noticed a couple details that seem a little "cheap" about it although it has been a good bike for over a year already, even with the 2 of us up. For all I know, the single piston could actually be an upgrade since it just pushes in the centre of the pad so leaves no opportunity for the 2 pistons to push unevenly providing even less brake surface. The single piston caliper looks like its cutting corners but it does stop really well so maybe its actually more efficient.

I've had a 125i for five years now and have never had that stuck in third gear problem. I would try a different mechanic if I were you.
Posted 2010-11-15 22:23:20
Interesting comments.
I went for the 125 over the 110, partially as the seat is more comfortable for the pillion. It is a bit bigger/thicker.
I've found a big power difference between the 100 Dream I used and the 125 Wave, not that it really accelerates faster (I'm not a boy racer) but that you can pull away in 3rd or 4th without any major problems, and it goes up slopes in 2nd that the dream insisted on using 1st.
There is a difference in the shape of the 125 over the 110 Wave, it is better designed and has a better look. The shocks are shiny not matt finish.
The electronic odometer and fuel display must be worth something? Along with whatever it does for the first 3 seconds after you switch on. Not sure about opening the seat from the ignition key, it is a bit fiddly but it might be more secure. However as I leave my shopping in the front basket security in that field is not my major concern.
I've had no problem with 3rd gear but notice that you have to move the pedal further to get the gear change than the wave which can make for a problem for long legs, they sort of don't bend enough! I find this particularly true changing into 1st gear.
I do not like the fact that the basket does not move with the front wheel, makes it more awkward for parking.
The good news is I have people queuing up to buy the old dream. They all say the engine is so much stronger and they do not want the new bikes. Not managed to make anyone give an actual figure as to what they will pay ................. (I need to keep it for the moment until I get my wing 41 sticker for the new bike.)
Is it worth 10,000 more? Depends on the misses, she says it is so as always it is SWMBO.

I am looking to buy a Wave, I had a bottom of the range 90cc for 2 1/2 years and nothing went wrong. I see nothing wrong with drum brakes and a kick start, not that I am a cheapskate, which I am, but have other reasons.
Drum brakes are less efficient in the wet, to me that is good, I fear a front wheel skid in the wet. Kick starting a small bike is easy and less to go wrong.
I would rather spend the extra on a good helmet...anyone know which is the coolest in this hot climate, the cheap ones are unbearable?
Posted 2011-01-21 13:04:02
REAL helmets are ok.. they are also the only Thai produced helmet that are approved (thai owned company)
One way to stay cooler is to to wear a coolmax skull cap under your helmet.. You would be surprised how well they work. I have the HJC one's.
Posted 2011-09-08 21:22:57
No it hasn't. The 110 is 8.3HP, the 125 9.3HP - (they always tell you what you want to hear, you know). The 125 also has a fair amount more torque at the bottom end as well as a higher comp ratio than the 110, plus there's poke over 100kph. There is little in performance between the carb and injected motor on the 125, though the latter is more fuel efficient and is smoother... no flat spots. In addition, you could also run the 'i' on ethanol whereas it would eat up the o rings in the carb. I'd posit reason you're not feeling the loss in power is a) you're not driving the 125 right, your 125 is screwed or c) you've convinced yourself there is no difference just like the many others that think they're getting all the power and a better deal.
Actually they've done a lot to that 'same old' set up and it still... WORKS!
Posted 2011-09-08 23:14:07
i think a 125cc would be more useful than a 110cc anyday
feel safer on it too ,a bit more overtaking power ,power to pull 2 people around etc
hills will be much more easier on the 125cc also
Posted 2011-10-18 20:23:52
Have looked everywhere - where did you find these specs?
Posted 2011-10-18 20:31:39
110i electric 7kg lighter than 125i ...
seat height 18 mm less,
ground clearance 4 mm less,
wheelbase 18 mm less,
supplied tires are larger on the 110i.
Guessing the resale value on the 125 is better if you can sell to a Thai - they seem to prefer these ... => Cost of Ownership may be slightly higher for the 125i.
Need fuel economy specs to round this out ...

Hello posted this on other topic but maybe of interest here also.
Also had the same dilemma choosing between the 110i or 125i.... I knew i was after a scooter,did not want auto click or anything completely auto which left me not a lot of options when entering the Honda dealer here on koh phangan.Having been a rider of motor bikes since the age of 12, being a member of a Motor Cross team (amateur level) trials events also on a Cotton 175cc( just felt my age then) on road bikes large and small last owned here in Thailand a Honda XR400 i was hardly excited about buying a scooter. So then i had my options in front of me the 110i PGM-F1... 3 colors only in stock black,red blue all not electric with start...price of 39,000 baht inc number plates,tax,helmet and a honda jacket this was for a cash deal. In the background was a white 125i PGM-F1 not electric with a price tag of 52,500 baht. I kept looking and looking,going back to the 110i,back to the 125i....and have to say i was confused. When i asked for the deal on the 125i (cash deal again) on the road everything 49,500 baht when i asked do they have electric start i was told 2 months waiting list. It's a 10,500 baht difference (This is koh phangan by the way) so price will be different as in Bkk or for me a better option of Suratthani...but 10,500 baht that's over £200 difference as good as 20% more for pretty much the same bike apart from as mentioned height,length,ground clearance, 15cc more power etc.So ok i am western male with money,but i was really thinking is it worth it??? To a thai national or someone looking after the pennies (Satangs) it does not seem to make sense... I did not test ride either models,to be honest i never even sat on any of them,but did the deal for the 125i PGM-F1 purely on i liked the color of the white looking scooter better I purchased the bike as said for 49,500baht cash on 22nd october 2011 on the road price.I will of course be running her in untill the 1,000km is reached and has it's 1st oil change etc,but after pulling away from the dealer a smile came,10kms on the clock later i stopped off to watch the Rugby my smile still on..it's not bad Leaving to ride for home i went the long way and again i thought this rides quite nicely,sitting up nice and high,very light steering,and so quiet.. At 60-70 kms it just feels like it would go all day all night... Interesting fuel figures given at ready for this..... 56kms per litre that's 160 miles per gallon for us old boys.... will let you know what it really gets,on purchase it only came with fuel reading 2 bars and 0.4kms on the clock ( Come on Honda surely a full tank on purchase would not hurt) so after less than 1km i filled her up with 100 baht (full) i have now done 128kms and still reading 3 bars(it's computer led reading) . I guess i will never know if i had purchased the 110i if i would have the same pleasant feelings and saved myself 10,500 baht, i will try to ride a new 110i just to see.... i know many local people who just would not pay the difference,and i am sure one of these who goes for the 110i i can test ride it in time. So far i am happy with what i got...It is WHITE after all the color to have apparently,with wind in the hair,flies in your face motorbike feeling with 3years Guarantee for a little over £1000 . Also noticed that Honda have stopped production for 6 Months.... there are hardly any new bikes here on koh phangan now!! And as if we are likely to get any here when it gets going again,makes me think Honda in the south are in for a hard time......... Off topic but my thoughts are with you all in troubled times,to the ones who have lost lives RIP... Thinking of you all from here in the south....... good luck to all kind regards jason

I just recently bought the 110i Wave. I looked at both the 125 and 110. I took both on local test rides. Of course not a lot can be determined in 1km or so but I can say that the 125 had a slight,(I mean slight) bit more low end torque. But over all road worthiness was the same so I would defer to the 110 as the 125 IMHO is not worth the extra 10K baht more. I ride my 110i very hard and hold speeds of 85 to 100 frequently. I have found that the moto is reasonably stable at these speeds but the rear shocks leave a lot to be desired and have no spring load adjustment capability. I am looking at something aftermarket. Showa makes a few kits. Overall it is a breeze to ride and is comfortable on long treks. I actually enjoy riding it as much as my big bike. I just wish they offered a bit better rubber but I do realize that probably 95% of these are bought to go to the market and back at 30 to 50kms.
Posted 2011-12-28 01:54:23
You should choose 125i if you always used it for the long distance. \
110i for enjoy riding .
Posted 2012-04-04 13:38:02
I'm curious how much the 2012 Wave 110i actually goes for. I was thinking of picking one up as a fuel-friendly alternative to the car. As it will be a 2nd vehicle and used only when convenient to do so, I want it very basic -- kick start, etc.
I noticed at a web site called Thai Motorcycle (or something like that) a Wave 110i with kick start and front disc brakes is listed at 36,000 baht, and I'm assuming that there will be other charges like tax and perhaps a pre-delivery inspection/set up. I understand that it's also common to arrange one's registration and insurance through the dealer when purchasing a new motorbike.
So, I guess what I really want to know is how much people have paid recently as an "all in" price for a 4 speed Wave 110i (as described above).
Posted 2012-04-04 13:50:10
i dont think you can still buy a wave for that cheap ,36k doesnt go far in a honda dealership thesedays
ive read of people paying over 50k for them on this forum
Posted 2012-04-04 14:15:49
Thanks for the info. There's no way in the world that I would pay anybody 50K for a 110 Honda Wave (or a 110 Honda anything, for that matter). I truly believe that people who have paid that much have been ripped off. Hopefully, some members who have actually bought one recently will tell us what price is realistic . Like I said, I don't expect to pay only 36,000 and ride one out of the showroom, but the difference between, let's say...39K and over 50K is quite a lot.

I went to a motorcycle dealership yesterday outside of Pattaya, and was quoted 40500 for a 2012 Wave 110i -- kick start / front disc brakes / 4-speed. The person there said they would discount it 500 baht. Another 1000 was added for 1 year of insurance and a deposit of 200 baht for the red plate, so they said I could drive it away for 41,200.
It would be really nice to hear from someone who has recently purchased one of these (in the Pattaya area, especially) to know if this is a decent deal.
Posted 2012-04-05 10:15:15
Try the Si Racha Honda dealer close to Pattaya , a couple of TV members have saved 7500bht on PCX from them (compared to Pattaya), should be more competitive on waves I would imagine
Phone number for them: 038-345732, 345833, 346150
Posted 2012-04-05 11:55:34
Thanks for the info, and particularly the phone numbers. After I finish talking to them, I'll post the price quote they give me.

Just bought a Wave 110I kickstart with disc brake in Hua Hin
Base price 37,500 + insurance, license plate, etc = 41,200

After his father, a top Hamas leader, is put in prison by Israeli security forces, Mosab Hassan Yousef says, "I had one thing in mind—revenge."
But, he says, "Allah had other plans for me."
Allah works in truly mysterious ways and before Nadav Schirman's documentary Green Prince is over, Mosab will be recruited by the Israeli secret service, betray Hamas, his family and his father, convert to Christianity and become a man without a country hiding in the United States.
His only friend through it all is his Shin Bet (Israeli internal security agency) handler, Gonen Ben Yitzhak, who is ultimately dismissed by the Shin Bet for getting too close to Mosab.
If it weren't a true story, it could be a John Le Carre novel. Mosab and Gonen operate in a vertiginous world of lies, deception, doubt, fear and violence. Yet the two very different men bet their lives on each other to build trust and friendship.

The name Barramundi is derieved from an Australian Aboriginal language arouond the area of Rockhampton in Queensland and means "large-scaled river fish". Known in scientific circles as Asian seabass, it is also known as giant perch, giant seaperch, Australian seabass, and by a variety of other names, such as Ikan Siakap or Ikan Kakap Putih. A great fighting fish and a very highly prized target fish.
An affectionate nickname for a "Diagramma pictum" the painted sweetlip. A sought after target for fly fishermen as the sometimes tail in shallow water and grub along in the sand looking for small crustaceans. They are quite a large foraging species that prove a sometimes difficult quarry for the flyfisherman hence the name "blue bastard"
Blue Salmon
The Blue Salmons colour is silver bluish green in appearance along the back and flanks this progresses to a shiny silver white belly area. The Blue salmon differs from the King Salmon having shorter thread like filaments and only up to four which are located below the pectoral fins. A good light tackle target and at times there are big schools along Weipa's beaches.
Many anglers rate cobia as one of the best fighters in the ocean, generally giving it their all right up until you get a firm hold on them. They can perform extraordinary runs at speed, but are best known and respected for their sheer doggedness. And they are first-class on the plate too. These tough and spectacular gamefish are renowned for their habit of swimming in the company of manta rays or large sharks, and the visual presentation of a bait, lure or saltwater fly in these circumstances can be memorable if it results in a strike.
Giant Herring
The Giant Herring can be recognised by its olive and silvery colour,slender body, relatively large mouth, single dorsal fin and strong forked tail. A spectacular fighting fish which can dazzle an angler with its speed and amazing jumps.
Giant Trevally
The GT is a ferocious and dogged fighter and can grow to 200lb.In Weipa most of the GT's caught are not quite that big however they are no less tenacious and will certainly pull your string.
Golden Trevally
The "goldy" as it sometimes affectionately called is prolific along the Weipa shoreline. And sometimes showing up in large schools providing a fun target for both fly fishing and the conventional spinfisherman. Most of the bigger specimens however are taken jigging soft plastics or with live baits on the offshore reefs.
King Salmon
Or sometimes called threadfin salmon found in all of Weipa's Albatross bay rivers are great fun on a rod and provide some exciting arial acrobatics and a nice feed back at the fishing lodge as they are possibly one of the top 5 table fish available around Weipa.
Longtail Tuna
Previously called northern bluefin tuna, longtails are one of the most prolific species in the area during April – July and one of the most sought after sport fishing targets due to their speed and their willingness to take a lure or fly. The longtail is warm blooded like most tunas and has speed and energy to burn.
Mangrove Jack
As with the other well known Lutjanid species the fingermark (Lutjanis johnii) we catch around Weipa and Cape York, these species prefer dense cover and will keep you on your toes as they have a tendency to grab the lure or fly as they are returning to that cover. Your reflexes had better be quick.
Considered one of the most challenging species to catch on a fly rod the milky is not only very difficult to tempt with a fly as it has such a diverse diet, including plankton but is also an awesomely powerful sportfish. This bullet shaped piscator has a huge tail and blinding speed that will amaze any fly fisherman lucky enough to hook one. All the stars need to align to get one of these to eat your fly!
Are quite prolific along the coastline around Weipa and are prized as a flyrod target. They can be quite difficult and sometimes frustrate the angler with their unwillingness to eat the fly. Conditions need to be right but they are a very catchable quarry for a good angler.
A very exciting sportfish and what tropical fishing is all about. The queenie grows to over 20kg an has and still does provide a heap of fun for all that hook them. One of our most abudant species both along the shore and offshore they pull hard and jump and do all the things that a great sportfish are expected to do.
Spanish Mackerel
Fast and furious this high speed predator will peel off line in seconds with its blistering pace. Don't get in the way of those teeth either, they can cut through flesh like a razor blade. Spaniards are here all year round, however, they are more prevalent inshore in the winter months.
Truthfully known as ox eye herring being of the same family of Megalops as the atlantic version "Megalops atlanticus" which grows to 300lb this little dynamite growing to about 5kg is no less worthy and will give an energetic airborne account of itself with many gill rattling jumps and shakes.
Just a taste...
These are just a few of the exciting sport and fly fishing species to chase in the tropical waters around Weipa.

A loss of almost $4 million in revenues for Levy County schools may translate into layoffs for anywhere from 40 to 70 personnel, Superintendent Bob Hastings told the Levy County Republican Executive Committee.
Hastings, in a casual update by public officials at the group's monthly meeting on Monday night in Chiefland, said, "People are very concerned about the state budget." But he said it is too early to worry as the final budget approved by the legislature — which opens its annual session on March 8 — is likely to approve a different version.

A lighter, faster feeling EXO3 Rebel 95, this updated version provides a more forgiving response compared to the original. The same tight 18x20 string pattern provides ample control from all areas of the court. This racquet is best suited to intermediate through advanced players with a long, fast swing style. From the baseline our TW playtesters enjoyed the solid and stable feel. Excellent control had our testers swinging aggressively without fear or over hitting their targets. At net the racquet provides a precise and control oriented feel. Both when punching volleys deep and when looking to apply touch to short angle volleys, the EXO3 Rebel 95 offers all the feel, control and precision needed for accuracy. On serve our testers found this lighter, faster feeling Rebel easier to generate both pace and spin. With its faster feel, our testers could snap it through contact for some added action and zip on serves. All in all, Prince offer a more forgiving racquet here that will appeal to a wider range of intermediate and advanced players.

What is EXO3 Technology?A high-tech patented racquet design utilizing large holes and String Suspension Inserts to deliver a superior effective hitting area compared to conventional racquets with the same headsize.
How Does EXO3 Technology Work? Strings are completely liberated from restrictive, response-strangling grommets, allowing the strings to respond more freely - even at the outer edges of the string plane for balls you may hit off-center.
How does EXO3 Technology Benefit You?
A larger, more consistent hitting area- at ANY headsize - allowing all players the advantage to take their game to the next level. Now, even shots hit off center will feel and respond as through they were hit direct center.

Kansas Bison
Bison Return to Tallgrass Prairie.
The Nature Conservancy Kansas Chapter and the National Park Service announce that 13 bison have arrived at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in the Flint Hills of Kansas, the last landscape expression of tallgrass prairie in North America.
At one time estimates of up to 60 million bison roamed the continent. However by the early 1900s, fewer than 1,000 were left. Bison were an integral part of prairie ecosystems before European settlement. The Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve herd will provide ecological, educational, and visitor benefits.
The new herd arrived October 20th. They were held in a small corral until Friday, October 30, when they were released into their new home, the 1,100-acre Windmill Pasture. The bison are from Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota, which originated from14 animals donated in 1913 by the New York Zoological Society, and six more in 1916 from Yellowstone National Park. The Wind Cave herd is one of only two known public herds without evidence of historic cattle interbreeding, making the herd prized by bison conservationists. The 13 bison released at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve will serve as a satellite herd for the larger Wind Cave herd.
Bison tend to graze in patches, resulting in a mosaic of grazed and ungrazed areas. Bison also prefer to graze grasses while avoiding most broadleaf plant species; across their range, bison consume over 90 percent grasses, whereas grass consumption by cattle is typically less than 80 percent of their diet. The patchy grazing distribution of bison and their avoidance of herbaceous plants tend to enhance prairie plant diversity. Other bison behaviors, such as wallowing, horning trees, wandering when grazing, and the bison's tendency to graze closer to the ground also differ from cattle behavior and can alter species richness and grassland biodiversity.
Many steps were needed before bison could be reintroduced to the preserve. These actions included the development of a management plan, completion of an environmental assessment, and enhancement of fencing in order to contain bison. The public is encouraged to visit the Preserve to welcome the new arrivals.
The Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is located two miles north of Strong City on Kansas State Highway 177 (the Flint Hills National Scenic Byway).

Despite a condensed season with the 2014 WNBA season falling in a FIBA Championship year, the Minnesota Lynx found time for their yearly strut of the runway in the sixth annual Catwalk for a Cure.
The catwalk is Minnesota's signature offering in their breast health awareness campaign, creating a notable amount of anticipation from fans. An estimated 550 were in attendance at the Mall of American Rotunda in Bloomington, including several fans who purchased VIP packages that went toward fundraising efforts.
As always, the outfits sported by the players and coaches generate a lot of buzz. Head coach Cheryl Reeve transported her perpetual flamboyance with an ensemble and hair-do reminiscent of 1980's pop culture. Her look shocked first-time host Jana Shortal, but Reeve and several players suggested assistant coach Jim Petersen was the highlight of this year's catwalk. Donning apparel from all three teams he played for in his NBA career, Petersen walked on stage with warm-up gear from the Sacramento Kings (before they adopted purple as a team color), then removed it to reveal his No. 43 Houston Rockets jersey, an outfit NBA fans saw when he competed in the 1986 NBA Finals. His Golden State Warriors shorts were underneath his Houston shorts, drawing laughter and cheers from both players and fans.
Amid the giggles, the campaign to fight breast cancer was a major success, with over $47,500 raised between the catwalk and auction of the team's pink jerseys worn on July 25 in a game against the San Antonio Stars. The money is accumulated by the Lynx Foundation, who will donate the proceeds to various charities dedicated to the fight against breast cancer; Hope Chest received a $5,000 grant at the conclusion of the catwalk.
For more details on the 2014 Catwalk for a Cure, including reactions from Tricia Liston, Maya Moore and Cheryl Reeve, watch the video attached to this article.

James Harness from "Gold Rush" has died at the age of 57. The cause of his death was not reported at first. Speculation began because of earlier back trouble that caused his departure from the show during season two. However, his children have come forward, and they have revealed the cause of his death. TMZ reported on the man's death and its cause on July 3.
James Harness died from the complications of a stroke. His children revealed that the man actually died last week, and he'd suffered a stroke the week before that. This means his death is not new news, but it became news now because of the news reports. The creator of the Discovery channel reality series also went to his Twitter and posted about the man's passing. Todd Hoffman said the following: "RIP James Harness." A spokesperson for the network also confirmed that the man died.
"Gold Rush" premiered in 2010. The series followed a group of miners that traveled from Oregon to Alaska. The group is searching for gold. Since its premiere, the series has traveled to other parts of the world. This includes South America. "Gold Rush" will return to the Discovery Channel this fall with season five. The series is a hit on the network with high viewership on Friday nights. The series has become the number one cable program in its time slot with men.
Harness appeared during the first two seasons of the series as a mechanic, but he was fired from the production during season two. TMZ reported that the man had a problem with painkillers. He was in a car accident that left with him a severe spine injury. When his injury made it difficult for him to show up to work on several occasions, he was let go. Video of his firing is above.
Harness is survived by a son and a daughter. He was divorced before his death. It was reported by All Voices that a funeral for the man is being held on July 5, and he will be buried in Oregon. Fans of the series are going to social media to express their sadness over the man's death. Two fans of the series said the following:
"R.I.P. James Harness good guy and great mechanic indeed,Thoughts and prayers go out to his son Adam and the rest of the family." - @GoldRushFever
"Sending prayers to all of the family and friends of James Harness. Such a nice guy and a super hard worker. One of the best men I know." - @Gunchaser6420
Several stars from the series also went to Twitter to express their sadness over this loss. Greg Remsburg tweeted the following on Thursday:
"Missing my friend James Harness right now. An authentic, caring, kind man that had a big heart. He is pain free now with our Creator."
It is clear that those that knew James Harness are saddened by his death. His death should not have an impact on the show because he left it back in 2012. What do you think? Are you a fan of "Gold Rush" on Discovery Channel? Do you remember James Harness from his time on the series?

Gina from The Shabby Creek Cottage was inspired by her love of the written word to create a garland for her Halloween mantel from book pages. You can use an old book or create that aged look like Gina did with a coffee stain.
After lots and lots of staples, Gina had this beauty to adorn her mantel with! I love this look for fall and think it would also make a beautiful addition to a Christmas mantel. You could even add some hidden meaning by using a special text or the sheet music for Christmas carols.

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Advanced Cell Technology has strengthened its intellectual property position in regenerative medicine with the acquisition of Infigen's assets relating to somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). A total of 26 issued patents and numerous pending applications were gained for a combination of cash and shares of common stock.
With this transaction, Advanced Cell Technology's royalty obligations under a previous license are removed. "This tactical acquisition is a part of our long-term plan to become one of the leading companies in the field of regenerative medicine," remarks William M. Caldwell, CEO of Advanced Cell Technology. "We intend to use these technologies to further our product development and use the exclusive rights under these patents to protect the company and, as appropriate, leverage these patents through licensing transactions with potential strategic partners."
The company notes that Infigen filed some of the earliest and most strategic patents in fundamental steps related to SCNT. One such critical step is the activation of oocytes, a process designated parthenogenetic activation. This patent in particular, points out Michael West, Ph.D., Advanced Cell Technology's president and CSO, "provides us with a dominant patent position in the production of human embryonic stem cells by parthenogenesis wherein stem cells are made from an egg cell without fertilization or SCNT.
Dr. West adds, "Combining these patents under one roof should simplify the regenerative medicine patent landscape. We will license out the animal applications for use in agriculture and animal science and use the human technologies for our internal programs including applications in the retina, vascular system, and dermatology."

Main Street Plans on having a (beach) ball
Published: Sunday, December 30, 2012 at 4:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 30, 2012 at 9:03 p.m.
Sarasota has a pineapple. For Key West it's a conch shell. In Miami, a giant orange is dropped when the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve.
Officials: Don't Drink and Drive
If you plan to celebrating the new year with a few adult beverages, you might consider leaving your car keys at home.
Volusia County Sheriff's Office spokesman Gary Davidson said additional officers will be out in full force Monday night and early Tuesday.
"We will have additional patrols looking for impaired drivers," Davidson said. "We are encouraging everyone to drive safely and responsibly." To help drivers get home safely, AAA is offering free rides and car towing to the public through its "Tow to Go" program." The program is a partnership between AAA and Budweiser that is offered during major holidays.
"This is a program of all our auto clubs to help prevent accidents," AAA Daytona Beach Counselor Grace Kenyon said.
Drivers can call 855-286-9246 and a AAA tow truck will transport them and their vehicle to a safe place within a 10-mile radius. The ride is confidential and free. Wait times depend on the volume of calls received.
And now Daytona Beach is joining the ranks of these Florida destinations by dropping something that represents this area: a glowing beach ball.
For the past several years, larger and larger crowds have gathered at the New Year's Eve on Main Street party in downtown Daytona Beach to watch a glowing ball descend from above. Because this year's celebration is part of Holidays at Daytona Beach, a series of events aimed to draw tourists to the area, a beach ball fits well with that theme, said event producer Al Smith.
The Main Street Merchants Association hired Tony Visconti of AAAA Productions, an audio/lighting company in Lake County, to design the 150-pound beach ball that will drop 30 feet at the corner of Wild Olive Avenue and Main Street.
"We are going to have a beach ball this year," Smith said. "We're trying to make the event bigger and better every year."
The association and sponsors helped pay for the beach ball, which costs "several thousand dollars," according to Smith.
The eighth annual event will transform Main Street into a block party with outdoor stages, deejays, live music, food and activities. The event is expected to bring about 20,000 people to Main Street, Smith said.
"Other than the two bike events each year this is the largest thing done on Main Street," he added.
Police will be out in full force to keep the party safe, said Chief Mike Chitwood.
"We are going to have operations going on throughout the city," he said. "If there are knuckleheads who are going to ring in the New Year by firing guns, we're going to get them."
The party on Main Street between Peninsula Drive and Atlantic Avenue begins at 5 p.m. tonight and ends at 2 a.m. Tuesday. Families with children will find street performers, a kids zone and face painting. Food vendors will also be on site.
"Everyone should come out for the fun on Main Street," Chitwood said. "Be careful, though, because it's amateur night. Don't make yourself a victim and don't get arrested. It's a bad way to start the New Year."
Main Street venues such as Dirty Harry's, Cruisin' Cafe and Full Moon Saloon will feature live music and not require a cover charge. The band Bullet Theory will play on an outdoor stage at Full Moon Saloon.
Parking on the street will be available as well as the lot at the Ocean Center, 101 N. Atlantic Ave. The county's public transportation system, Votran, will waive its trolley and night service fares starting at 7 p.m. Monday and run until 1 a.m. Tuesday.
The trolleys will make stops on Atlantic Avenue from Granada Boulevard in Ormond Beach, to Dunlawton Avenue in Port Orange, and International Speedway Boulevard in downtown Daytona Beach.
But Main Street isn't the only New Year's Eve celebration happening in Volusia and Flagler counties. Other celebrations include the African American Cultural Society's Gold Gala, starting at 8 p.m. Monday at the African American Cultural Center, 4422 U.S. 1, Palm Coast. For more information, call 386-447-7030.
A Latin-themed New Year's Eve party will take place at the Clarion Hotel, 350 E. International Speedway Blvd., in DeLand, starting at 8 p.m. Monday. For more information, call 386-738-5200.

The stray dog problem that exists in Sochi, Russia accelerated as the Olympic village was completed. The dogs were found throughout the complex and the authorities decided to set out poison to control the population.
The local residents were appalled at the decision. Since there was no way to avoid an encounter with a stray dog the citizens of Sochi witnessed countless cruel and agonizing deaths. The area animal rights organization was up in arms at this action.
Sochi veterinarians rounded up the strays in the complex, gave them a check-up and released the healthy canines. A new shelter was recently opened to accommodate the dogs.
Many of the Olympians took action as well. One American team member has taken responsibility of four puppies.
Here in Milwaukee there was much the same problem until Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC) was established. In the first year of operation they rescued more than 13,500 animals.
The people of Sochi are on the right path. Like Milwaukee, their feral dog situation will be under control in the not so distant future.

In The Darker Nations, praised internationally by critics as a welcome antidote to apologists for empire, award-winning historian Vijay Prashad tells the story of how the Cold War created the Third World-at once a political project, an anti-imperialist utopian vision, and a galvanizing ideology that transcended geography. Bringing to life the giants of the movement like India's Nehru, Egypt's Nasser, and Indonesia's Sukarno, as well as crucial events such as the now-forgotten Brussels conclave of the League Against Imperialism and the launch of the Third World project in Bandung, Indonesia, in 1955, Prashad's paradigm-busting history brilliantly restores to memory the flawed but vibrant idea of the Third World.

Impediment Curse / Jinx - Impedimenta - Imperio - Imperius Curse - Imperturbable Charm - Impervius - Inanimatus Conjurus - Incarcerous - Incendio - insect jinx - instant scalping - Invisibility Charm
See IMPEDIMENTA.
Impedimenta (im-ped-ih-MEN-tah)
"Impediment Curse," "Impediment Jinx"
"impedimentum" L. hindrance
Stops an object or slows it down.
Harry learned this spell to use in the third task. Ron also learned it, using it to stop a bee in midair. Harry used it to good effect on the Acromantula and on the huge Blast-Ended Skrewt (GF29, (GF31).
Madam Hooch used this to knock Harry away from Draco as they were fighting after a Quidditch match (OP19).
Harry saw his father use this on Snape in the Pensieve (OP28)
The Impediment Jinx was used by Death Eaters and by Harry during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries (OP35)
Harry used this on Amycus Carrow while the latter was duelling Ginny during the Battle of the Tower. Later Harry cast it on either Amycus or on Alecto Carrow when they tried to catch him from behind, and still later he attempted to cast it on Snape (HBP28).
Cast by Harry on a Death Eater just after the sidecar he was riding in broke off the flying motorbike (DH4).
Imperio (im-PAIR-ee-oh)
"Imperius Curse"
"impero" L. order, govern, command
One of the Unforgivable Curses, this spell causes the victim to be completely under the command of the caster, who can make the victim do anything the caster wishes. A victim of this spell is said to have been Imperiused.
Lecture with demonstration in Defence Against the Dark Arts (GF14)
Cast on Krum by the fake Moody (GF31, GF35).
Cast on Crouch junior by Crouch senior (GF35).
Cast on Crouch senior by Voldemort (GF35).
Harry raised the possibility - which Arthur Weasley then refuted - that Fudge may have been acting under the Imperius Curse (OP9).
Herbert Chorley, a Junior Minister in the government of Muggle Britain, began impersonating a duck as a result of a reaction to a poorly performed Imperius Curse (HBP1).
Cast by Draco Malfoy on Madam Rosmerta, and by her on Katie Bell (HBP12, HBP27).
Cast by Yaxley on Pius Thicknesse (DH1).
Referred to by the verb Imperiused (DH5).
Cast by Harry on various goblins and on Travers during the retrieval of the cup Horcrux (DH26).
Harry believes that Stan Shunpike must have been Imperiused (DH5).
See IMPERIO.
Imperturbable Charm (IM-per-TUR-ba-bul)
"imperturbatus" L. undisturbed, calm (thanks to Manuel Weiss for help with this)
Creates a magical barrier on a target object, such as a door, to prevent eavesdropping. The target object is said to have been Imperturbed.
The door to the kitchen in number twelve, Grimmauld Place had an Imperturbable Charm placed on it. This prevented the kids from using Extendable Ears to eavesdrop on the meetings there. Anything thrown toward a door which has been Imperturbed will bounce off without touching it. Ginny tested the door by lobbing Dungbombs at it (OP4).
Impervius (im-PER-vee-us)
"im-" prefix from L. not + "pervius" L. letting things through
Makes something waterproof or water repellent.
Hermione used this spell to make Harry's glasses repel water during a rainy Quidditch match (PA9).
The entire Gryffindor team used it on their faces to try to practice in a driving rain, but they still gave up after an hour (OP18).
Recommended by Hermione to Ron as a way of protecting Yaxley's belongings from the rain in his office until it can be stopped (DH12).
Hermione used this in an attempt to protect herself, Ron, Bogrod, and Griphook from the burning, multiplying treasure in the vault (DH26).
Inanimatus Conjurus (in-an-i-MAH-tus con-JUR-us)
"inanimus-" L. not living + "coniurus" L. conjure
Although not identified, the name suggests that this involves the conjuring inanimate objects.
The fifth years were assigned homework about this by McGonagall at the very beginning of the school year (OP14). Since according to McGonagall Conjuring spells are usually not attempted until N.E.W.T. level, perhaps this assignment was preparatory theory work.
See CONJURING SPELLS.
Incarcerous (in-CAR-sir-us)
"incarceratus" L., past participle of "incarcerare", from in- + carcer prison
Sends thick ropes out of thin air to wrap around someone or something.
Umbridge used this spell on Magorian the centaur, which prompted the rest of the centaurs to attack (OP33).
Harry tried and failed to cast this on Snape during Snape's departure from Hogwarts (HBP28).
This could be the incantation for other binding spells.
See also CONJURING SPELLS.
Incendio (in-SEN-dee-o)
"incendo" L. to set fire to
Starts a fire.
Arthur Weasley used this to start a fire in the Dursleys' fireplace (GF4).
Used by a Death Eater to set fire to Hagrid's cabin (HBP28).
no incantation given
Sprouts feelers on the victim's head, removes the victim's powers of speech, and forces the victim to scuttle along the ground.
no incantation given
As the name suggests, this hex removes hair.
This spell appears in Basic Hexes for the Busy and Vexed, which Harry consulted to find a spell to work against dragons (GF20)
no incantation given
Spell to make a person or thing invisible.
Cast on the new Quidditch stadium in Exmoor (DP).
See HEADLESS HAT, INVISIBILITY BOOSTER, INVISIBILITY CLOAK, VANISHING MAGIC.

A recent article in the Long Beach Post reveals some interesting but obvious things in our elite narrative and the direction current activism is taking, and they are worth noting.
Our elites have always responded harshly to signs of dissent, often disproportionately. So a peaceful protest as what happened in the infamous Kent State antiwar march in 1970 saw Ohio state militia shooting and killing activists. The Democratic Convention in Chicago, 1968, is commonly accepted to be a "police riot." And of course, most recently, Oakland Police shot a protestor in the head, seriously wounding him [that he happened also to be an Iraq War veteran seemed to garner him special attention by the mainstream media, as if any other activist might have deserved this brutality].
So it goes without saying that what Anonymous claims to be doing in exposing malfeasance in the Long Beach, CA, city government is characterized as a "warning" by elite thought, as if it is activists and organizers who are menacing officials.
You rarely read such headlines as Long Beach Police "warn" Occupy Long Beach activists; or Long Beach city council "warn" medical marijuana advocates; or Long Beach Mayor Foster "warns" free speech rights of photographers.
What elites do is - by mafia standards - by definition correct.
It's one thing for the insular, pro-corporate world of the political beltway to think this of themselves; it's quite another when our media do it for them. But this is why our mainstream media is so dreadful: it serves the elites on bended knee.
The elites hold the convention that "the king can do no wrong," which is an obsolete, medieval method of protecting the power structure from popular scrutiny.
Seventeenth century British elites re-established the monarchy after Cromwell's interregnum to keep popular demands out of reach of the power structure: the monarchy was the one institution able to keep itself away from the public; or as the British elites are fond of saying, "above politics."
The US and its allies have rammed through similar institutions under the guise of global "free" trade that are also "above politics," like the World Trade Organization. These institutions make decisions for the financial industry, the 1%, and are insulated from the demands of people.
Now it seems Long Beach officials have their sights on activists, but Anonymous has put Long Beach in its sights.
The Long Beach Post's headline is by far not the most egregious example of elite narrative, and as an alternative news source to the Long Beach Press-Telegram, it must be commended for even featuring the item. But the question remains why our newspapers of record do not scrutinize such behavior as a city police force detaining photographers: such behavior would warrant a White House Press Conference if done by one of the US's official enemies.
Obviously, even in a sleepy suburb of Los Angeles, like Long Beach, is culpable of serving elites, and is not above scrutiny by activists.
Bottom line, our elites are only continuing a class war, and their overall intention has been loudly expressed in the business press. They want to make the US better for business, not for workers; so they break unions [Indiana being the 23rd state to ban closed-shop trades unions, aka, right-to-work]. The elites want to bring the 19th century sweat shops back home, because they want to compete with places like China.
Should we even be competing with such a labor atrocity as China is never asked among elite media; only "how" can we compete.
So it is encouraging that groups like Occupy, Wikileaks, Anonymous, and Black Bloc tactics are employed. In an open democratic society, such tactics and non-hierarchical organizations would not be needed. We wouldn't need subversive organizations to expose what our governments were doing, at home and abroad: the civil rights abuses, like those alleged against the city of Long Beach, the anti-labor practices like compromising collective-bargaining rights; the war crimes, like those of Abu Graib, Guantanamo, etc., or the broken United Nations conventions to which the US itself is signatory.
These dissident groups are not brick-and-mortar, IRS-ordained groups, like the ACLU or Human Rights Campaign, which can do meaningful work but are often beholden to the same financial industries our mainstream politicians, and Long Beach officials, are beholden to for funding.
So the radical changes we need are not likely to come from above, from these elites and their clients.
It will be the persistent work of these insurgent groups and their tactics that will bring the radical change we need, not more handouts to the elites.

Procolobus gordonorum
|Scientific Name:
|Procolobus gordonorum
|Species Authority:
|(Matschie, 1900)
Common Name(s):
Procolobus badius subspecies gordonorum (Matschie, 1900)
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Red Colobus are sometimes included in the genus Piliocolobus (e.g., Kingdon 1997, Groves 2005). The current treatment follows Grubb et al. (2003) in regarding Piliocolobus as a subgenus of the genus Procolobus, pending the availability of further evidence. This species has been considered a subspecies of Procolobus badius, Procolobus pennantii, Procolobus rufomitratus, or Procolobus kirkii, but is here treated as a full species following Grubb et al. (2003) and Struhsaker et al. (in press).
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered B1ab(i,ii,iii,v) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Struhsaker, T, Butynski, T.M. & Ehardt, C.
|Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B. (Primate Red List Authority)
This species is listed as Endangered because it has an extent of occurrence of less than 5,000 km², the populations are highly fragmented with no or limited movement between forest fragments, and there is a continuing decline in the species' extent of occurrence and area of occupancy due to loss and degradation of habitat.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is restricted to the Udzungwa Mountains, including the Uduzngwa Mountains National Park and several adjacent forest reserves, namely West Kilombero, Matundu, Udzungwa Scarp, Nyanganje, Kiranzi-Kitungulu, and New Dabaga/Ulangambi (Struhsaker et al. in press). Also present in the Kilombero Valley at the eastern base of the Udzungwa Mountains in several forest patches (Magombera, Kiwanga, and Kalunga, the last mentioned of which is now essentially gone), and in gallery forest along the Msolwa River south of the railway to its confluence with the Kilombero River, including the Ibiki and Msitu ya Kinjugu Forests (Struhsaker et al. in press). It is found at elevations ranging from 250-2,200 m, although abundance is lowest at high elevations (Marshall et al. 2005; Struhsaker et al. in press).

|The total population of this species is unknown and difficult to determine, but clearly in the thousands. At least one published estimate puts the population at 15,400 individuals (Dinesen et al. 2001), but this might be too high. An earlier estimate by Rodgers and Homewood (1982) is 10,000 red colobus; however, they emphasized that the largest single interbreeding population is certainly <2,000 individuals. The Magombero forest in the Kilombero Valley appears to hold at least 1,000 individuals (Struhsaker 2005). In the Udzungwa Mountains, this was the most frequently seen primate (mean= 0.59 groups/km walked) (Rovero et al. 2006).

|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species inhabits a variety of forest habitats, including lowland old-growth, secondary and montane forests of the Udzungwa Mountains, and miombo Brachystegia woodland adjacent to old-growth or secondary forest in the lower parts of the Mwanihana forest and elsewhere (Struhsaker et al. in press). Group size, as recorded by Struhsaker et al. (2004), is highly variable, ranging from 7–83. Groups are smaller in forests that are small (<5 km²), dominated by deciduous trees, and/or are heavily degraded by human activities than are groups living in large, intact, and relatively mature blocks of moist, mixed evergreen and semi-deciduous forest (Struhsaker et al. 2004).
|Major Threat(s):
This species is threatened by habitat loss, due to logging, conversion to agriculture, collection of firewood, and charcoal production, and hunting. The population in Magombera, in the Kilombera Valley, was severely affected by the construction of the Tanzania-Zambia railway (in 1972-1975) which bisected the Magombero forest, as well as by selective logging and agricultural expansion. The presence of the railway facilitated agricultural encroachment onto the reserve, and increased the number of bush fires. Agriculture was responsible for a decline in reserve size from 15 km² in 1955 to less than 11 km² by 1979. The area was threatened with total destruction in 2002 when the Government of Tanzania agreed to relocate squatters there from the nearby Kilombero Sugar Estate. Fortunately, the international conservation community was alerted in enough time to launch an appeal to the Government of Tanzania that averted destruction of this forest, which contains >1,000 red colobus (Struhsaker 2005).
The local Wahehe people reportedly hunt P. gordonorum, particularly in the western and south-western parts of the range (Struhsaker et al. in press).
|Conservation Actions:
It is listed as Class A under the African Convention, and under Appendix II of CITES. At present, only about half of the range of this species is protected within the Udzungwa Mountains National Park, and this population is reasonably secure. The remaining habitat is unprotected either on public land or in forest reserves (including New Dabaga/Ulangambi Forest Reserve) that are not effectively protected (e.g., Magombero Forest Reserve, which still needs to be legally incorporated into Selous Game Reserve, which the Government of Tanzania had promised to do in 1980). This species is nominally protected by law in Tanzania as 'Presidential Game', and enforcement of these laws is essential in areas where the species is hunted.
Struhsaker et al. (in press) highlight the following conservation priorities for this species:
1) annexation of the following Forest Reserves to the Udzungwa Mountains National Park: West Kilombero (including: Ndundulu, Nyumbanitu, Ukami, Iyondo), Udzungwa Scarp, Matundu, and Nyanganje;
2) annexation of the following forests to the Selous Game Reserve: Magombera, Ibiki, and all other forest remnants along the Msolwa River;
3) prevention of fire to allow forest expansion and establishment of corridors between forest blocks, thereby facilitating the dispersal and increase of forest-dependent species, including P. gordonorum;
4) and more effective law enforcement to prevent fires, illegal logging, and poaching.
Struhsaker et al. (2004, in press) outline recommendations for future research.
