CONCORD, N.H. (AP) _ New Hampshire will hold its first-in-the-nation presidential primary on January 8th, five days after Iowa's leadoff caucuses.
Secretary of State William Gardner announced the date Wednesday afternoon, ending months of speculation about when the state would
have to move the primary to keep its spot first in line.
There had been a possibility that New Hampshire might push its primary into December, but the new date is still the earliest ever for the primary.
The date was set hours after Michigan's Supreme Court said that state's primary could go forward as scheduled on January 15th.

Skip to comments.Jack Ryan says free market will create new jobs
Posted on 03/09/2004 9:49:55 AM PST by JohnnyZEdited on 05/07/2004 6:24:03 PM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]
In the run-up to the March 16 elections, the Democratic race for U.S. Senate is tightening, while on the Republican side, its the opposite. Poll after poll shows former Goldman Sachs banker Jack Ryan pulling ahead of the other six candidates.
(Excerpt) Read more at rrstar.com ...
Jack would be NOTHING without him...
On gun control, Ryan said he generally doesn't favor more laws. But he said he supports closing the so-called "gun show loophole" if background checks could be done instantly. And Ryan said he'd be willing to revisit the federal ban on assault weapons.
"I'll be totally open in considering that, if it focuses on the function of the weapon," Ryan said. "If it focuses on how fast does it shoot, what kind of ammunition does it shoot - that I think is good legislation. If it's like, what does the gun look like, it's too easy to get around that stuff."
"Free market" - translating...not trade with countries we have free trade treaties with, but "free" transfer of assets and jobs to protectionist countries like India and China.
The lies continue, getting bigger and bigger...
WELCOME TO FR. Are you just here to bash Jack or what?
Only one candidate in the race does not support the rape exception, Jonathan Wright, and he is near last in the polls. I don't like it, but I'll take 99% correct and run with it.
What's wrong with instant background checks? Do you prefer waiting a couple days?
Hopefully ALL Clancy's scenarios won't come true; at least we avoided Red Storm Rising.
By regurgitating this revisionist propaganda, Ryan destroys any credibility he may have had.
Willie doesn't like him -- MORE PROOF JACK RYAN'S CONSERVATIVE!
Who are you supporting, then? It would have to be Jonathan Wright.
Illinois Federation for Right-to-Life has endorsed Jack Ryan, Steve Rauschenberger, and Andy McKenna.
Sorry, but that's just flat out wrong. That's the old "Smoot-Hawley" canard, which has been disproven about a thousand times now, but that doesn't keep the free trade uber alles crowd from repeating it over and over again!
If you want a real education about the actual causes of the Great Depression, just google up the phrase "great myths of the great depression", which is an article posted at the mackinac institute, and written by Lawrence W. Reed.
I am just so tired of the same old "Smoot-Hawley" argument being hauled out time and time again. It is wrong, and it needs to be done away with forever. It's the economic equivalent of claiming the world is flat, it's just utter nonsense.
Please take it as a compliment, Willie, that I value your opinion so much!
Your own source blames Smoot-Hawley, in large part, for the Great Depression.
The crowning folly of the Hoover administration was the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, passed in June 1930. It came on top of the Fordney-McCumber Tariff of 1922, which had already put American agriculture in a tailspin during the preceding decade. The most protectionist legislation in U. S. history, Smoot-Hawley virtually closed the borders to foreign goods and ignited a vicious international trade war.
Officials in the administration and in Congress believed that raising trade barriers would force Americans to buy more goods made at home, which would solve the nagging unemployment problem. But they ignored an important principle of international commerce: Trade is ultimately a two-way street; if foreigners cannot sell their goods here, then they cannot earn the dollars they need to buy here. Or, to put it another way, government cannot shut off imports without simultaneously shutting off exports
How about no backdoor registration at all, like it was before 1993, at least in the free states.
Furthermore, in Illinois, private citizens MUST record the buyer's FOID number AND wait three days before delivering the firearm, following the day of sale.
The lies continue, getting bigger and bigger...
To use crude but accurate language it's a mindf*uc. An attempt to hypnotize American workers, our great middle class, to accept terms that would have been ridiculed 5 10 15 years ago.
Jack Ryan may be a conservative and he may understand trade but there is nothing in this artricle that shows that he understands the current trade envirornment. Further he does not understand how trade related to the Great Depression if he was accurately quoted.
If you want a Buchananite ignoramus, and it sounds like you do, you don't want Jack Ryan, that's for sure! But if you want a conservative, Ryan's the guy, no question.
That indicates a complete ignorance of the actual history involved. The Great Depression came to the USA in 1929 as a result of Fedreal Reserve policies put in place to coordinate with Bank of England policies. The Smoot Hawley traifs were enacted in June 1930 after the Depression was well underway. These tariff increases were put in place alongside other tax increases which caused even more damage to the American economy. The Smoot Hawley tariffs were mostly a response to foreign tariffs which had already been in place and foreign reponses to them.
Now as to disaterous protectionist policies please show one example from American history of disaterous protectionist policies since from 1789 until the Clinton era we had in place protectionist tariffs.
By the way I happen to believe in Free trade I only wish we actually had some. Now once more since this candidate supports making all private transactions involving firearms a subject of Federal inquiry by his supposed support for "closing the gun show loophole" and his trade stance is clearly based upon bad information regarding teh Great Depression no matter what "elliot Jackalope" states tell me how this man is not just some other Republican candidate who says he is conservative but will still go along with the liberal line.
By the way remember it was teh Clinton administration that negotiated our current trade envirornment and if he is suipprting that he is running on a Democrat platform.
1. Protectionism in the 1920's.
2. Do you really think the Great Depression was unavoidable after 1929? Smoot Hawley likely turned a recession into a depression.
She's more concerned about the cost of malpractice insurance.
The above said I was not a fan of a number of provision of Smoot Hawley but argue the tariff on the basis of fact.
We're over ten years with NAFTA --- it didn't happen yet.
You are certainly welcome to have your little version of history. I'm not one who goes around pretending to be an expert. If you want to mock Jack Ryan, who went to Dartmouth and HBS and is 70 million dollars richer from practicing economics, and other folks who know what they're talking about, in favor of Pat Buchanan, or yourself -- well, forgive me if I don't consider you an authority.
The crowning folly of the Hoover administration was the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, passed in June 1930.

S. history, Smoot-Hawley virtually closed the borders to foreign goods and ignited a vicious international trade war.
Just get used to it . . . imagine how a "free-trader" feels whenever somebody trots-out that Karl Marx quote.
Ryan is not the best candidate for our Conservative position. He is a moderate vote getter. At minimum, we should make sure he gets such a close margin of victory to the real Conservative in this race, that he acknowledges our presence, our patience, our ability to get votes, our more powerful vision. He should hear us.
Vote Rauschenberger! (geez - will the spellchecker catch that one?)
Ha! You think arguing with Pat Buchanan is fun????!!!
Rauschie is finally about to break into double digits, but don't insult peoples' intelligence by saying Jack Ryan isn't conservative.
Rauschy be a rockin' an' a rollin' now!
There is no way any poll can measure the grassroots groundswell that is taking place for Rauschy. I heard one insider poll had Ryan losing two points per day beginning last Saturday. My guess (hope that is) is that Borling will drop a nuke that will take out both him and Jack!O.
Oh, and CL, make note: while you may not like one particular vote that Rauschy cast, rememeber that Obie has NEVER ONCE VOTED FOR OR AGAINST ANYTHING EVER IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE. He is free to make up any position he feels will play to whatever audience he targets. In 02 it was pro-lifers he characterized as Christian Taliban -- this year he gets his kicks flying over Soldier Field targeting illegal aliens. Should we tattoo their matricula numbers on their wrists before loading them into cattle cars -- only the Obie knows.

As much as I love my Clarisonic (and that is A LOT) sometimes I'm just too lazy to use it. Like when I get back from a run and want to get the sweat and sunscreen off my face quickly. That is not really a Clarisonic moment. (Clarisonic moments! I think I just invented their new ad campaign. You're welcome, Clarisonic!) So in the moments I just want to take twenty seconds to clean my face, I inevitably turn to face cloths. They're just simple, easy, quick and totally portable. (They're increasingly becoming what I travel with because there's no chance of spillage when the airline uses my luggage as a football). I've tried a bunch of different brands, but right now, one of my favorite is Pixi's Moisturizing Cleansing Cloths. For $10, you get forty cloths, which is a pretty good deal, and they work great. They get everything off my face and leave it feeling clean and not tight or dry at all. (The cloths have aloe vera in them, so I'm going to attribute it to that). Overall, just a great lazy person's product and definitely worth a trip down the skincare aisle on your next Target run. (As if you're not heading there anyway...)
Note: A sample of this product was sent to me by a PR representative working with Pixi Beauty

The Carter Brothers Band Returns From Week In Key West, Celebrates Fan Club's Fifth Anniversary
Compass Records act the Carter Brothers Band has returned from a seven-night run in Key West, Fla., where they hung out with fans to commemorate the fan club's fifth anniversary during the day and performed at night at the Hog's Breath Saloon.
the Carter Brothers Band has returned from a seven-night run in Key West, Fla., where the musicians hung out with fans from across the United States to commemorate the official fan club's fifth anniversary during the day and performed to standing-room-
We left Key West after a week of playing music we love, being with people we genuinely have come to care about and 80-degree weather and came home to Nashville's icy cold. Let's go back to Key West!" says vocalist/guitarist Danny Carter, laughing.
"The week really was memorable," says Tim Carter, vocalist/banjo and mandolinist. "Each night, we were surrounded by some of the finest people you'll ever meet - it's a bonus that they love the Carter Brothers music! It felt like a family reunion!"
Alex Counts, founder of The Carter Brothers Fan Club, organized multiple activities throughout the week for the fan club members who traveled to Florida's southernmost tip, including a celebration luncheon. The luncheon/mixer is a tradition that has occurred for the past four years.
This past week marked the fifth anniversary of the official start of the Carter Brothers Fan Club," Counts says, "so several of the diehard fans decided to travel to Key West to celebrate with our fan club's namesake! The week couldn't have been better! We sang, danced, ate, made new friends, visited with old ones and added lots of embarrassing pictures to the fan club scrapbook. Priceless!"
In addition to the nightly shows and fan club gatherings, the band headlined a fundraiser for local resident and friend, Katharine Doughty, who is recovering from breast cancer. Many local musicians also participated in the concert for Doughty, a local artisan, including Ericson Holt on keyboards, Richard Crooks on drums and Poco singer Paul Cotton.
The Carter Brothers is scheduled to return to Key West and Hog's Breath Saloon in April; visit carterbrothersband.com for specific dates.
About The Carter Brothers:
"Tim and Dan are blood related to A.P., Sarah and Maybelle Carter but they don't make a big deal out of it. Like their mama, who taught them to rinse collard greens in the Maytag, (the Carter Brothers) make their old-timey music with tried and true ingredients and modern appliances,"
Coupling exemplary musicianship with the kind of tight harmony only siblings can claim, the Carter Brothers have been performing around the country... and the world... to adoring fans for more than two decades. Natives of High Point, N.C., Tim and Danny Carter moved to Nashville 15 years ago, quickly earning respect that crossed musical genres. After years of producing and releasing their music themselves, the brothers signed a recording contract in 2011 with Compass Records.
The Road To Roosky, the Carter Brothers' first Compass Records CD, was released in 2012, garnering accolades and praise from around the world for its melding of bluegrass and blues.
"I've been playing with my brother for so long and he's such a blues guitar player that all of that rubbed off on my playing through the years. I wanted to make sure that the banjo on this was not so much about playing Earl Scruggs style banjo but that (the banjo) fit these tunes," says Tim Carter of his playing on The Road To Roosky.
The act's next CD, Where the Green Grass Meets The Bluegrass, is due out in 2013 on Compass Records. The project features the Carter Brothers and Barney McKenna, renowned Irish banjo player of the The Dubliners in McKenna's final recordings before his death in 2012.

ATLANTA -- Atlanta Braves pitcher Jonny Venters' appeal of his four-game suspension for throwing consecutive pitches at Milwaukee's Prince Fielder will be heard on July 27 in Washington.
Venters will remain eligible to play until the appeal. The Braves begin a three-game series at the Washington Nationals on the day of the appeal.
Manager Bobby Cox served his one-game suspension in Tuesday night's series opener against the San Diego Padres. Bench coach Chino Cadahia was picked to fill in for Cox.
Cox continued to insist Venters did not try to hit Fielder on Saturday.
"Absolutely not intentional," Cox said Tuesday.
Venters threw a pitch over Fielder's head and his next pitch hit him in the back Saturday. Both teams were warned after the first pitch, and Venters and Cox were ejected after the second pitch hit Fielder.
The incident came one inning after Fielder's homer started a five-run inning for the Brewers in a 6-3 win.
Cox and Venters say the pitch over Fielder's head was a slider, not a fastball. Venters, a rookie left-hander, said he'll show at his appeal that the four batters he has hit this season have been left-handed hitters.
Cox's ejection was his record 156th and third this season.
Meanwhile, Cox said outfielder Nate McLouth is expected to come off the disabled list on Wednesday.
McLouth has been out since suffering a head injury on June 9 at Arizona. McLouth collided with Jason Heyward in the outfield and McLouth's head slammed to the turf.
McLouth is hitting only .176 with three home runs in 170 at-bats.
Cox said he wanted McLouth to "work out hard" with the team on Tuesday before coming off the disabled list.
"His eyes look good," Cox said of McLouth.

There are a lot of options out there for different types of planner pages. But for some reason, none of them worked for me. I tried several different kinds but couldn't quite get them to match what I needed. I modified and tweaked and they worked okay but it wasn't until I designed pages exactly for my needs that I was satisfied.
If you're in the same boat – your planner tool just isn't quite cutting it – then maybe you would benefit from designing your own pages, too. In case you're interested, here's how to get started:
1. Decide on a page size. Here are your best options:
- 8-1/2 x 11 ( easy and cheap but big for carrying around)
- 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 (easy, lots of options, a little big for carrying around)
- 4-1/4 x 6-3/4 (takes a little more cutting but a good size to carry – binders only available from Franklin Covey)
- 3-3/4 x 6-3/4 (takes a little more cutting but a great size to carry around – binders available from Franklin Covey, Day Runner, Day Timer, Filofax)
2. Determine what you need. This is the part where you analyze your life and preferences and decide exactly what you need from your planner. For me, I needed a tool that supported a day that was unpredictable – a tool that gave me options and helped me prioritize in case I was busier than I expected or not as busy as I expected. You can read about my pages here.
3. Design the page. Sometimes it's easier to design it with pen and paper and then convert it to a Word document.
4. Create the page using Word (I use Tables for most of my pages). Here are the margin settings for the pages described above:
- 8-1/2 x 11 – Top margin 1", Bottom margin, 1", Left Side, 1.5", Right Side, .75"
- 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 – Top margin .5, Bottom margin .5, Left and Right Margins .7. You'll also create 2 columns with 1.5" between columns. This format prints 2 on a page. All you have to do is cut down the middle and then punch.
- 4-1/4 x 6-3/4 (Franklin Covey Compact) – Top margin .5, Bottom margin 2, Left and right margins 1.25. Two columns with 1.75 or 2" between columns – it just depends. Sometimes 1.75 will work but sometimes you need 2. I'm not sure why.

5. Print. Cut. Punch. Put in your binder.
For hole punching, you can use a single punch purchased from Wal-mart or Target for $2 or you can purchase a custom punch from any of the planner companies. They vary in price but aren't cheap. Don't bother getting the ones that punch one page at a time. They're difficult to use and won't last very long.

Chihuly Install
This is a series of photos that documents the assembly of 2 installations of Chihuly art glass in my San Francisco apartment. There is a mille fiori - a plant with purple flowers for a corner of the living room. Also, an installation in the entry way of a persian ceiling.

Lite Brite
Using Triklits from Mark Lottor (www.triklits.com) I assembled an 8' x 8' LED installation on the wall of my den. I bought 24 strands each with 24 lights and made a screen that was 24x24 pixels to project art on. The LEDs are 3-color addressable, so I can turn any pixel any color. The driver written by Mark allowed my to program in C. The diffusers are ping pong balls (with little necks to help them snap on the fronts of the LEDs). When I was finished, I realized as I was programming that this was very familiar -- I had made a wall-size Lite Brite which is what I call it now.

'Love Your Neighbor' Wasn't Just a Suggestion
The most recent discussions of U.S. foreign policy and the Middle East, once again say more about politics during an election year, than they do about the fundamental issues we must confront if we want to see substantial change.
So let's look at the basic issues and fundamental choices we need to make.
Today the Middle East — where about 60 percent of the population is under the age of 25 — is a region dominated by humiliation and anger.
Failure + rage + the folly of youth = an incendiary mix.
The roots of anti-American hostilities in the Middle East run deep (literally and figuratively). We can start with the fact that our oil (and its economy) lies beneath their sands. Couple that with U.S. support of repressive and backward regimes, the continual presence of foreign troops on their land and in their holy places, and the endless wars waged there, ultimately fueled by the geopolitics of energy.
Add to that incindiary cocktail the unresolved Israeli/Palestinian conflict, which continues to drive the deepest emotions of mutual frustration, fear, and retaliation throughout the Middle East and the rest of the world.
Injustices and violence caused by the oil economy have sparked a reaction from dangerous religious fundamentalists in the Islamic world. Fundamentalism — in all our faith traditions — is both volatile and hard to contain once it has been unleashed, and it becomes hard to reverse its essentially reactive and predictably downward cycle.

Proving once again that it is always easier to tear things apart than it is to build them is the Australian monster, as seen above. The builder, Ray Baumann, says that "this is a way of taking a bit more care," if you can believe that. You see, his previous job was as a stunt driver. He claims that it is much safer riding this monster bike crushing cars than it was to jump them on a much smaller machine. Weighing in at 13 tons and standing about 10 feet tall, the monster doesn't appear to have any suspension travel at all. The frame appears to be an upside-down ladder design, with wheels and tires from Caterpillar. What does it take to move this maxi-machine? A Detroit Diesel engine hooked to a 6-speed Allison automatic transmission.

Use this tag for questions that ask "what is this thing?" Pictures are helpful, as are descriptive titles. When you get an answer, consider adding a further tag (for the flower, tree, beetle etc that has been identified) so that your question is cataloged correctly. If the question is about determining the cause of a plant problem (e.g. disease), the diagnosis tag is more appropriate.
When asking an identification question:
Make a good title:
- Include the type of thing (weed, bug, plant, etc) that you want to identify.
- Include where it was found -- both where in the world, and where in a "micro" sense ("eating the lower leaves of my plant", "under a rock", "fungus growing on my tree trunk", etc).
- Include distinctive features. ("Red fuzzy vines".)
Include a photo.
- Repeat the descriptive features in your question.
- Include how it relates to gardening.
When you get a satisfactory answer, consider adding a further tag so that your question is cataloged with other similar questions. If an answer makes the question relevant to another category (e.g. a vine later identified as Morning Glory), then it should be tagged as such.

We stayed here as part of our safari with WT safaris (great safari company btw). It took us a fair amount of time to actually find the lodge, but once we did it was more than worth it. This was our favourite camp from our whole safari. The tents were amazing, the grounds were beautiful and the food was great! It was a small and very quiet camp, which only made it more amazing and you sat out and could here the animals. The Masai Mara itself is awesome and we had an awesome three days here!

Near the end of second scenario, "It's All Mine!", I tried to rescue those trapped by the earthquake with the Chinese drill, but the faulty drill blew up. Then I had to choose someone to blame for it. One of the options was "Blame The Powers That Be", but it didn't say what will happen if I pick that. I was intrigued by it, but scared what might happen to me. What could've happened?
I tried it tonight, and it didn't seem to have any direct effect (Maybe it's random?). However, the Chinese were very happy that I didn't blame them, and I got something like a +50 boost from them.

Black belt class was held on Saturday, May 7th. For the first hour, all of the kata were performed at least 2 times by the count and finally all the way through in one count. During the last hour, those that attended the DNBK's 5th World Butoku Sai in Kyoto, Japan shared what they had been taught by the instructors. Renshi Lingo reviewed the adaptations to sanbon kumite by using tai sabaki and a mae geri attack. Renshi Schmidt and Kyoshi Kembre went through 4 defensive drills related to the kata Saifa.
As is tradition, we will not be having black belt classes during the months of June, July and August. The next class will take place on Saturday, September 3rd.
On Saturday, April 2nd, Black Belt class was held at the Honbu dojo. Renshi Schmidt led the class beginning with an emphasis on breathing and posture and how important these factors are to basics such as a punching, crescent stepping, abdominal breathing, kicking, and relaxing. Students practiced abdominal breathing, often referred to as Sanchin breathing, while inhaling and exhaling which in itself rotates the pelvis back and the hips forward. Instruction included the importance of having proper pelvic and spine allignment before taking the yoi position. These techniques were practiced as the Sanchin kata was performed.
Instruction then moved on to focus on other Naha-style kata in the USCK curriculum beginning with Shihohai, Niseshi, Seisan and Sochin. Students performed each of these kata repetitively followed by Shime no kata before moving to the next Naha-style kata to control breathing and replenish oxygen to the lungs.
The last half hour involved knife defense and gun defense emphasizing the importance of breathing.
The 4th Memorial Hanshi Dometrich Seminar took place on Saturday, March 12th at the Radisson Riverfront Hotel in Covington, Kentucky.
Many members were in attendance to celebrate Hanshi. Instruction was led by Kyoshi Lawrence Hawkins, Jr., Kyoshi Sherry Dometrich Kembre, Kyoshi Jerry Beshears, Renshi Manuel Byers, Renshi Don Schmidt, Shihan William Jansak and Shihan Michael Messinger. Assistant instructors were Shihan Willie Elliott, Shihan Lawrence Hawkins, III and Shihan Tony DiTerlizzi.
The after party at the Honbu dojo was a real nice time, with good attendance and plenty of food to share. It was good to visit with people we do not see often, especially those who traveled from out of town.
On March 4, 2016, I visited Sensei Pochinski's dojo located on Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. I always enjoy visiting Sensei Po because he provides karate training to families of military personnel and his students train quite vigorously. Brianna's elbow smashes were quite thunderous as she smacked a heavy bag much to the delight of her father, Carl.
Friday night is self-defense night at their dojo. So, I taught some self-defense techniques emphasizing that basics are self-defense. I emphasized that proper breathing is the first thing one has to do when confronted. If you do not breathe, you cannot relax. If you are not relaxed, you might panic and not be able to move. We did a variety of partner drills designed to prevent the bad guy from getting the upper hand.
Pictured above is the group photo which was taken in Ft. Bragg's Army Combat Training Facility. From left to right is Steven, Isaac, me, Amber, Sensei Po, Zach, Reggie, Rosemary and Brianna.
Congratulations Sensei Gordon Levin for receiving the "Volunteer of the Year" award from the Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida. Sensei Levin received the award for selflessly teaching Chito-ryu karate to at-risk youth through the BGCCF.
On Saturday, February 6th, Black Belt class was held at the Honbu dojo. Class was led by Kyoshi Jerry Beshears expounding on Seisan concepts; Shihan Terry Collis on Kihon deck drills and Jeff Thompson from Northern Ky Karate club on Shi Ho Wari drills. The class was very spirited and was over way too soon. Please note that the March Black Belt class has been cancelled in favor of attending the Hanshi Dometrich Memorial Clinic on March 12th.
Kangeiko was well attended by 19 energetic Karateka keeping the tradition started 36 years ago by Hanshi Dometrich at the Honbu dojo. This year, Shihan Jansak led the training assisted by Renshi Sherry Kembre. The overnight training started with a hearty dinner, followed by a brief meeting then lights-out at 10p. Trainings started at 3a in complete silence with a chill in the air and no clocks to tell the time. The training came to a close around 9a after the morning run. Warm tea was served followed by a hearty breakfast buffet.
Kagami Biraki was held at the USCK Honbu dojo on Saturday, January 9th. We had a strong turnout of 42 members to celebrate the new year. Principal instructors were: Hanshi Holly, Shotokan; Kyoshi Kembre, Chito-ryu; Kyoshi Hawkins, Chito-ryu; Renshi Beshears, Chito-ryu; and Kyoshi Sheridan, Shorin-ryu. There was plenty of food and drink afterward and lots of camaraderie.
The December Black Belt Class was held on December 5th at the honbu dojo. Renshi John Wellbrock led the first segment going over a Gojo-ryu kata that has tai sabaki and many moves shared with Chito-ryu. Renshi Don Schmidt closed out the class going over hip snap. Afterward, several members from the honbu, Yoseikan II and Yosekan Anderson gathered to share some birthday cake and wish Meiyo Hanshi (Okusan) Barbara Dometrich a very happy birthday.
On Saturday, December 5th, members of the honbu and Yoseikan Anderson dojos participated in the 10a Saturday morning class at the honbu to honor Meiyo Hanshi (Okusan) Barbara Dometrich's birthday (on Sunday). After the class, there was a celebration with pot-luck food and birthday cake.
On Saturday, November 7th, Black Belt Class was held at the Honbu Dojo. Thanks to all that participated in this splendid class. The class started off with Renshi Schmidt leading the class with Kihon Kata Ichi, Ni and San. These kata were introduced to us in 1979 by Chitose Sensei's son Waka when he visited the Honbu dojo. Kihon Kata Ichi is a green two kata, Kihon Kata Ni is a brown two kata and Kihon Kata San is a black three kata. These kata get more complicated as the rank increases. The class then went into kata application, taught by Kyoshi Jerry Beshears, looking for defense or attack that can relate to the kata in a natural posture.
The United States Chito Kai National testing was held on Friday night October 17, at the Yoseikan Honbu in Covington, Ky. The test board was comprised of: Kyoshi Lawrence Hawkins Jr. ESQ., Kyoshi Sherry Dometrich Kembre, Renshi Eric Ford, Renshi John Wellbrock and Shihan William Jansak. Renshi Don Schmidt ran the test and Shihan Shawna Lingo handled the paperwork. Those who tested were awarded the following ranks:

Historical Traveler Reviews Crowne Plaza Hotel St Paul - Riverfront Saint Paul
Stay far away from the Crowne Plaza Hotel St. Paul-Riverfront
We stayed here 2 nights for a dental convention. We made the reservations last year and were surprised when we arrived to see the Radisson name gone and replaced with Crowne Plaza. When we arrived to our room down a long corridor, it was connected to two other rooms. I thought to myself, "Oh no, it's going to be loud down here". Well, I guessed correctly. We could here loud music and TV's from the other rooms. We called down to the front desk to complain and after 2 calls, they finally sent security up. The rooms are FILTHY! Mold and dirt around the sinks and faucets. I found money behind a chair which had carpeting that looked like it had never been vaccumed. Lamp shades tipped throughout the room. Maid service never left us clean towels to replace one's we had used. We called down to have more towels delivered but they never came. Views of the parking lot. It was bad. When checking out, front desk asked how it was. I was very forthright and truthful and told them everything. They apologized and told me I should have called them so we could have been sent to another room. I said, "Oh, you mean the same way I called to complain about loud noise and no towels without any response?" They offered nothing for compensation. I told my husband to take a good look around because we will NEVER stay at this pigstye again! I will also spread the word on this filthy, disgusting hotel.
Above Average
I stayed in this hotel for 5 days on a business trip. I found the experience to be overall better than average. I stayed in an executive suite on a key-carded floor. My room had a fantastic view of the river. I really liked the old-school feel of the hotel--it was like staying in a piece of history. The staff were very accomodating as I had many special requests during my stay. Room service was prompt and maid service was the same.
I did not dine at the restaurant, and from the reviews it seems as that was a good thing. It is surprising compared to how the rest of my experience was at the hotel. The only troublesome thing was that there was some noise from the ajoined room, but it was not excessive.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again.
Not impressed
I stayed here on a 2-night business trip. I was not impressed with the service or atmosphere of the hotel. I had trouble getting into my room numerous times--the desk said it was the lock; the maintenance man said it was the card key. The maid did not clean my room until 3 pm! I had to wander boring downtown St. Paul. The desk staff was not helpful--they could not provide much local information and their attitude was snobbish. And although the hotel had 2 vans, they couldn't manage to give us a ride to the River Center or anywhere else.
Carousel Restaurant at the Radisson --What a Disaster
I could not believe how horrible the food and the service was at this restaurant. I will never eat there again. The prime rib was so tough that I could barely cut it. The potato had been over cooked and was not hot when it was placed on the table. I asked for scallions and shredded cheese for it and that arrived 15 minutes after I had received dinner. My empty salad plate stayed on the table for about 20 minutes. Finally after some time someone came and filled my glass with water. My bill for this horrible dinner for just myself was about 36.00. Just a small glass of wine [Zinfindal] was 7.50. Unbelievable. I could not wait to leave.
Disgusting event in the restaurant.
Rooms are average.
The biggest problem was a server in the restaurant "Carousel". She was blowing and wiping her nose as she was taking my order and serving coffee. Disgusting.
Stay at the Holiday Inn Rivercentre or St. Paul Hotel.
Disappointing Christmas Getaway
My wife and I planned a two-day getaway on Christmas Eve and Day. We checked in on Christmas Eve about 7PM and needed an accessible room. We were given a room at the end of a long, dark corridor and when we got there the heat was off and the room temperature was about 40 degrees. We called the desk and they sent up a portable heater that helped some to bring the temperature up, but even the next morning the bathroom was frigid and unfit for use. Sheets on the bed were way too small and came off in the night. The hotel was nearly empty but no offer was made to move or upgrade us. I had asked for information on meals/restaurants for the next day and the desk clerk rattled off some information about hours. I asked if there was a list or if the information was on the TV, and was told no. No menus, prices, etc. We were disappointed and decided to check out the next morning. Nobody asked how our stay was or why we were leaving early. We have had other mediocre stays at Radissons so probably won't try another one. The staff really didn't seem to care whether we were satisfied or not.
Serves its purpose. Restaurant needs sprucing up.
Stayed here for a conference in December 2004. We had a bargain group rate under $70, so I have few complaints. It is a big hotel, probably built in the late 1980's but redecorated in the past several years. The lobby is nice, but you can smell the cigarette smoke from the lounge. Staff friendly and helpful. The rooms were fine. Clean, nice view, bathroom was updated a few years ago. Comfortable.
The restaurant though needs some sprucing up. The chairs are all knicked up and not very sturdy. One chair was so rickety I thought it would break from under me. I am pretty petitie, too. This is not good. Mauve-purple color scheme from 15 years ago and old cloth placemats need to be replaced. Nice views. The food is okay hotel food. For the price there are some very good restaurants a couple blocks away, but for convenience it was okay. The hotel and restaurant served their purpose for me. It would not be my first choice but I could stay here again for a good price.
Beware of Noise from Adjoining Rooms
I stayed at the hotel for several days in mid October 2004. The lobby was very nice. I had breakfast off the menu at the restaurant and thought it was quite good. I also attended a conference there and the lunch service and evening reception food were both excellent (compared to some other conferences).
That said, my room had two doors to the adjoining rooms on either side. I could clearly hear conversations, coughing, and television noise from neighbors on both sides -- there were wide space gaps at the bottom of the doors that allowed noise to clearly pass through. The room did have a nice view of the lake though.
Due a billing issue (they initially charged me for more than my reservation rate), the friendly desk staff moved me to a very large two room suite on the 20th floor. It was very impressive. But even there, I could hear conversations from the kitchen in the adjoining suite (when I was in the living room). Fortunately, the bedroom area was far enough way from the adjoining door that it wasn't an issue for sleeping.
Bottom line is that this hotel needs to deal with the noise issues related to the adjoining doors!
Loved the hotel, never visit the resteraunt
We stayed that the Radisson riverfront over the July 4th weekend. When we arrived it was quite busy, however the front desk staff still provided excellent customer service. The room was wondering. Very tradition decor, well kept rooms. The view from the 14th floor over the river was wonderful. Everything was great till we visited the Carousel Resteraunt. To say the least it was a disaster. The waitress was kind and fun however extremely overworked so he was not able to get to his customer adequately. The managers and host staff did nothing to help. When we made our reservation we were told the latest would be 9pm. Thats was fine till the hostess began to sit her "friends" at a table directly in front of us (view of the fireworks) at 10pm. The food was horrible and extremely overpriced. The manager did not care after discussing these concerns. Overall I would stay at the hotel again, Just never ever visit the resteraunt again.
Nicely Appointed Rooms
My wife and I had one night "get-away" (from the kids) at this hotel recently. I booked it using hotwire for $57 (plus a $14 for taxes and fees!). The first I notice was that the lobby, while nice looking, smelled of cigarette smoke. The desk staff was friendly and we got a room on the 18th floor with a king sized bed. While the hotel as been updated recently, room entrances had poor "curb-appeal". They could use an update - the door entry-way is flush with the hallway, unlike newer hotels. The room was very small but nicely decorated. The bathroom was also small but had been redone recently and was extremely nice. We tried to use the phone for a local call but the phone didn't have a dial tone. After some investigation, I found that the phone line had been disconnected from the phone jack. Since this is an older hotel, it's 'internet-ready" rooms required a phone splitter that someone had unplugged. The bed was extremely comfortable, with a nice down comforter. The view overlooking the Mississippi was outstanding. I would have been nice to open the window to enjoy the nice weather, but that wasn't possible.
We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant (Carousel) at the top of the hotel. Again, great views of the river. The food was good but probably a little over priced for the quality. Service was very good.

... had to offer. Totally self supported. So I have planned a two week adventure to see the sites on a tricycle. That's right, I said tricycle! It is not like the one that I probably rode as a child but, more like a recliner on three wheels. It is called it a tad-pole trike meaning, that it has two wheels in the front and one in the rear. Her name is Inky. I'm sure you will learn more about the both of us as we take these trips together. I will be ...

But Joe and I still had to keep going to Minneapolis. We put all of our things in his old Ford truck called Mazy. So from Santa Fe, through Colorado, and across the plains to Minnesota we drove in Mazy. Mazy is a red truck, but she is different. She has air, heat, adjustable seats, untinted windows, 4 wheel drive, and is newer. She is much better suited to living through winter in the north.
We spent a month ...

... are out of a Dr. Seuss book. You can currently go inside the cathedral, and we even took an elevator to the top of it. That Monday was a holiday, so a lot of the stores were closed. When we asked what holiday it was, nobody knew. Our bike tour guide said that with an unemployment rate of 20%, everyday is a holiday!
After a hop, skip, and plane ride, we arrived in Paris. I was ungloriously trying to speak to the taxi driver in French, until he found out I studied ...

Among the rows of prize winning corn, soybeans and rice you can see the blue ribbon seed paintings and the winners of the scarecrow competition (including a senior division for artists over 60).
My feet hurt so much that night that I didn't sleep much, but it was well worth it.

We grab a shuttle to our hotel, and grab a bite of room service and let the kids unwind in the hotel room.

Gawker Editor John Cook Joining Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi at First Look Media
Max Read will be Gawker's new editor.
Pierre Omidyar, the eBay billionaire turned independent media patron, has snagged his next investigative journalist for the budding First Look Media project, in the form of Gawker editor John Cook, reports Recode. After more than a year in charge at Gawker, Cook will join Glenn Greenwald, whose national security site The Intercept is the First Look flagship, and Matt Taibbi, whose forthcoming property will focus on corporate malfeasance.
(Update: Politico reports that Cook will be the editor-in-chief of The Intercept.)
Gawker deputy editor Max Read is next in line at Nick Denton's site. "He'll be amazing!" Cook assures Daily Intelligencer.
"An editor at Gawker Media is leaving for another (great) job," Denton teased on his own site last week. "I'm keeping that information quiet for a few days so he can finalize his deal."
In the new issue of New York, Taibbi speaks on the rise of personality-driven journalistic start-ups. "You've got this widespread mistrust of media organizations," he says, "and the feeling, from people on both sides, that the networks are in the tank for one political party or another. I think people are more willing to trust individuals than they are organizations."
Cook, who previously left Gawker for Yahoo only to return a few months later, is known for his aggressive Freedom of Information tactics, including posting loads of raw documents and open records for readers to sort through on their own without mediation from a reporter. "I love Glenn Greenwald," he told Poynter recently, "but he's basically keeping the same secrets the NSA was keeping" by not "laying it all out there so people could look at it for themselves."

Haul your motorcycle without the hassle of pulling a trailer by installing our best-selling dirt bike and motorcycle carrier on your Class III, IV, or V 2" trailer hitch. Made from aircraft-grade aluminum, this motorcycle carrier is lightweight, easy to handle, and very durable. It includes a loading ramp, which can be installed on either the front or the back of the carrier and stores flat when not in use, an anti-tilt device to ensure stability during transport, and a spacer bar adapter for transporting youth 50-80cc dirt bikes.
If you're looking for a motorcycle carrier that doesn't need to be removed when not in use, check out the Aluminum Folding Motorcycle Carrier. This style makes parking easy and convenient, allowing your vehicle to fit into tight parking spaces without removing the carrier from your vehicle. The folding motorcycle carrier features the same high-quality design as the standard version but comes with the folding hitch adapter (patent pending) for increased functionality. A Double Motorcycle Carrier version is also available.
Will the AMC-400 clear the back of my vehicle?
Please measure back 18" from the center of the pin hole on the trailer hitch and strike a chalk mark on the ground. Roll the bike over the chalk mark and visually check for clearance. The 18" measurement is the distance on the carrier to the center of the track. Keep in mind that the bike will be level with the height of the trailer hitch.
This carrier is exceptionally light. Purchased the hitch pin, not impressed. should throw HPin in with carrier. The anti tilt bracket is awsome, really strengthens carrier. If the ramp was 60" It would work with any height of vehicle. My van has 4' lift. I almost purchased the black widow heavy duty carrier because of ramp 6' length. Glad I didn't I like the weight of this carrier, If I can purchase a aluminum 6' ramp I will . Great products.
This is a great product. I put it together quickly and easily. Good quality and workmanship.
This is an excellent quality carrier that fits my Super Sherpa well. The carrier is very steady while travelling with no real shake or sway. However, I found it very difficult to unload by myself. I am 64 and not the strongest person out there. But the bike is also not that heavy at 282 pounds wet. The wheels get stuck in the cross pieces and it takes a lot of effort to move the bike o of them. I had some help unloading it at an event, but when I tried to unload it at home I ended up dropping it off the carrier. I couldn't find a good way to back it out of the gaps between the angle cross pieces and still maintain control. I'll probably get some aluminum diamond plate and make the platform solid. All the other carriers I saw this weekend had solid platforms, not open like this one. Just be aware if your bike is other than a light dirt bike that you may have problems loading and especially unloading.
This is the First time I ever had a Hitch Mount like this and it Works GREAT. I would Highly recommend it to anyone who hauls ant type of Smaller Motorcycles, Mopeds and Scooters.
Using this to haul a full size mx bike (KX250) behind my JK Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Fits fine with OE spare wheel/tire. Works well. Not much swaying. Feels stable. Doesn't effect how vehicle drives very much at all.
Went together very easy. Worked like a champ. You might want to upgrade some of the hardware, however...no big deal. Would highly recommend.
Light weight. Affordable. Hope to stop towing a cargo trailer behind motor home. I wish it stuck out a bit further so handlebars better clear the vertical back of my RV.
First review ever. I am not a writer so sorry if it turns out like a 5th grader wrote it. I am moving and wanted something to move my CRF250L. I was going to get a small utility trailer, but decided to go with this ramp instead because of price, quality based on other reviews, size to store, and weight cap. Just received it in the mail today. The packaging was excellent! Everything was in the box and it even came with the hitch stabilizer which I did not know it came with. No damage found on anything and welds look clean. Putting it together was easy used direction to begin, but found it was engineered that a child could assemble it without directions. Feels extremely sturdy. I will be traveling half way across the USA in a few months, so that should be a good test of quality. If it turns out to be junk I will downgrade stars for sure. If its golden, i wont change a thing. Mike.
We attached it to our 5th wheel camper. Now we can both use the motor cycle around the camp ground. Supported the cycle perfectly. Never worried about it slipping or twisting. Lite weight yet durable. Very satisfied.
So stoked on this! was such a breeze to set up and shipping was so fast! Great product and well described, will be buying from you guys in the future.
Was very skeptical of getting a rack such as thinking it would be too heavy on the back and bounce all over. Was I ever wrong, this rack is sweet! I don't own a truck and my son and I found two 1980's Honda xl250r's. He has one up at college 250 miles away and there are great trails all over. I didn't want to pull a trailer that far so started looking around for a receiver hitch rack for my Honda Pilot. I almost bought a Harbor Freight or Walmart steel rack thinking they would be the cheapest and then I saw your rack. It's lightweight aluminum, easy to assemble, incredibly stable when installed, I don't even notice it is on the back of my vehicle. I ordered it and was shocked to get it in two days flat. I highly recommend this rack over all others of its type, American quality at a very tight price. Stop looking around, order it, there is no better deal!
Took a while to assemble, but easiest system for taking your bike to the trails. My only complaint is that the ramp could be wider to avoid it wobbling while rolling the bike off of the carrier.
I needed to haul a scooter from CA to MN and this was the best deal I could find. Better design than the Harbor Freight and it shipped fast. There was no wobble using the included device but I did synch up the bolts at every stop. I only had a scooter with 10" wheels on it but it fit fine. In fact the rear weight bias of the scooter was balanced well by the scooter being off center toward the front. I read several places these were not recommended for scooters but the reason is the short ramp makes the scooter bottom out during loading. I figured I could park along a hill to load/unload and avoid the problem. You could make a longer ramp or in my case just lift the back end over the edge. I also used a cable from Home Depot with a padlock to loop around the floorboard and thru the rungs as well to act as a theft deterrent. I had a Canyon Dancer 2 on the front and had synch straps locking the wheels down. Even without the rear tied down it never loosened or moved beyond the expected wiggle. I would have tied the rear but there was no good places that wouldn't have required major part removal. I was using an old Rav4 and I had to remove the spare and its mount from the rear door. Hadn't even considered the distance from the hitch pin to the rack but was fine. I hope this is helpful for anyone else who flies across country and picks up a car and mounts a hitch and carrier to haul a scooter sight unseen across the country. I sure see a lot of this model on vehicles here in MN and now I can see why. It's clearly the best bargain hauler out there.
Bought this carrier after I sold my truck and needed a way to haul my enduro around on my new SUV. I based my decision to buy this on price, reputation of DiscountRamps.com, and the reviews of other purchasers. Ordering it was easy, it shipped very fast with tracking info provided immediately, and it arrived in 2 days. It was well packed. Assembly was easy - though I would have liked to see some torque specs provided in the instructions and the bolts are pretty soft steel (metric grade 4.8). The carrier feels "substantial" and well built. In use, it is stable and seems to hold the bike solidly and keeps it a safe distance from the back of the SUV. The ramp mounting feels somewhat rickety and uses small bots and wing nuts, so I personally would either run a safety strap around the ramp or (my choice) just toss it in the truck. I am able to load and unload it by myself, no problem. I did buy 2 KTM Powerparts ratchet straps, which have a carabiner at one end and a soft loop at the other, and these work very well. I also added a chain to each footpeg as a failsafe security measure. Overall assessment: hard to beat this for the price, seems solid, and carries the bike well.
ROCKET FAST SHIPPING! Researched local stores and online for a high quality carrier for my Genuine Buddy Scooter, decided to purchase this carrier for high quality, well constructed yet light weight, ease of use. I assembled it easily myself. Totally satisfied.
Great product and great price - works fantastic!! Went together quickly and holds my 250 four stroke great!! Only complaint was that one of the 2 holes for the bolts to hold the ramp on when not in use was not there - but - was solved in minutes w/ a drill and bit.. Overall - great value..
Hands down there isn't a better deal on a hitch style carrier! It's hard to imagine you can get a lightweight carrier of this quality for what Discount Ramps sells this one for. It all arrives with quick shipping and well packaged, and assembly is a snap. Easy to load and unload all my bikes. I really like the hitch lock feature which prevents the bike from flopping from side to side while going down the road like some of the competitors products. I also like the tie down location vs the other brands. Doesn't stick out to bang your legs on every time you walk around it, and is easier to judge when parking. Also makes storage between uses easier. So just in case you couldn't tell, I'm loving this carrier!
What a great product for hauling a motor bike behind a SUV. ( Since you can't fit it in the back like a truck.) The price was right, and easily assembled. I would definitely recommend to everyone with a similar circumstance.
What a great website easy to navigate and full of great information. I was shocked by how affordable their products and great selection stacks up against other sites. I received my order two days ahead of schedule. Luckily I had some tie downs and had my bike up and loaded shortly after delivery from UPS. Usually I experience some kind of issue when shopping online, not this time. Anyone looking for a motorcycle ramp should definitely shop here.
This is a very good ramp. Holds my KTM 250SX very well. Light weight to lift into hitch. 1 man operation. don't have to haul a trailer around so this was the ticket for me. Very affordable price. Only negative that I had was the loading ramp had some sharp inner rails and shaved off some of the side nubs off my front tire so watch out for that.
Excellent videos explaining assembly and loading. Good advice to have two persons to load and unload. The rear wheel tracks straight on the loading ramp when loading but has a tendency to go off track when unloading. My advice is keep the brake ready and go slowly when unloading so that your helper can adjust things if needed. I was worried that the carrier would wobble and bob on the road but my Honda was carried steady as a rock.
Love the weight and design. Only drawback is lack of tie down bars on either end - instead you ratchet to the middle. Make sure to anchor the bike to something on the vehicle as I've seen bikes bounce out off road or fall sideways on the fwy due to wind resistance. Otherwise, great product and value!
I purchased this AMC-400 carrier specifically for my Honda CT110, to carry behind my Honda mini van. The max hitch weight for the Odyssey is 350lb, so the CT110 is 200lbs, plus the rack 50 lbs is fine. Everything fits great and I'm very happy. Assembly was simple. Great solution for me. I also bought the motorcycle tie down kit, works well, use to use. Recommended.
Just received my new Rage Power Sports motorcycle carrier. It came almost in an instant. Couldn't believe how fast it arrived. The people I dealt with were amazing. Have it already assembled and installed on my truck. Practiced loading my new Honda CB300F on it and it was a breeze! Can't wait for riding weather. Heading to California with my new Discount Ramps hitch rack and Honda! Thanks Again!
everything was there and was easy to put together. There were no holes to mount ramp on the inside. Looks like a good quality setup.
The construction quality is very good. Its light weight which is awesome! Its easy to load my bike and its easy and quick to put the carrier on and off my SUV. I highly recommend it for carrying a dirt bike.
Built my own out of steel i-beam 13 years ago. was super strong and stable but it was so heavy I quit using it. When I was building it out of scrap I was wishing I was an aluminum welder so I could make one but then the cost of materials would have been ridiculous. You simply cannot beat the price and quality of construction. Even if this wears out in 2 years I will gladly buy another one and sell the scrap to recyclers haha.
I bought another AMC-400 carrier. I was out of dirt biking for a few years and now that I am back, this is the ramp of choice. I have recommended this carrier to my female dirt biker friend and she is liking this carrier as well. This carrier is light weight, strong and safely secures the bike. I feel confident that my brand new 2015 KTM ECF 350 is safe. Discount Ramps is a great place to shop and have fair prices. Thank you. Lifetime customer.
Took the ramp on a 1500 mile trip from N.Y. to Florida and back. No problems whatsoever..
I sent an E-mail asking them to contact me via e-mail when they got the product back in stock, as they were out of stock when I was shopping. They responded in just a couple days. I ordered it, received a tracking code. It arrived just when estimated. Works great behind my mini van, hauling an XR650 Honda. The stabilizing feature keeps the load from moving even on rough roads. Great product!
I bought this to mount on the back of my RV to haul My wife's Honda scooter. It works great, the ramp makes it a no hassle load. The rack is light which helps with my RV hitch capacity and was no problem to install.
Delivery timing was as promised. All bolts and hardware were included and secured despite a fist sized whole in the box. The AMC-400 was easily assembled at the point of pickup and I was able to drive away with it installed on my hitch.
I tote a 400cc KTM. Carrier is sturdy, stable and very easy to use. Bike fits on my Toyota FJ Cruiser WITH the spare tire still installed.
The carrier arrived on time. Included parts just as stated in the description. Instructions were included and the video on the web site made assembly a breeze. Very good quality carrier. Holds my Suzuki DR200 very well, no wobble. I also use the carrier to transport my Prodeco electric mountain bike.
My DRZ 400s weighs just over 300 lbs so I was a little concerned about how the carrier, the hitch and the F150 would handle it. Also, I needed to be able to load and unload by myself. I'm just under 6' so loading was easy. I first attached a short tie-down to rack then clutched the bike up the ramp. MAKE SURE IT'S IN NUTRAL BEFORE YOU STOP THE ENGINE. I attached the ratcheting ties to the handle bars an the subframe. Can definitely tell there is weight on the back the bike didn't twist or shake at all. Unloading is a little harder. While holding the bike with left hand I pulled the back tire backwards to the get the front out of its "pocket". I have no negative things to say but I have a whole season of Dual Sport and off-road riding ahead!
When needing to replace my Harbor Freight ramp (it got hit by a car), I looked into this one. It was essentially the same kind of money but is a good bit more ramp. It is far more stable and the moto rocks far less side to side when loaded. All in all, it does what it is supposed to and is quite affordable. I use it for my KTM's - 250 and a 690 that kitted out weighs 325 dry. Handles those no problem.
great product, good construction, easy to put together and holds my '75 CB360 just fine.
Perfect- for my Motoped Mountain Bike nice and light-easy to put together- easy to store in garage
We purchased a small Yamaha V star 250 for my wife which was located out of state. The bike weighs 325lbs. so I decided to buy a small carrier instead of a one shot rental. The assembly was very easy (about 15 Minutes total) and the ramp is very light. I did have a bit of and issue with the hardware that is supplied with the carrier. They are not high quality bolts and nuts and I could easily have stripped them out. I will replace them for a few dollars just for piece of mind. I guess a street bike sits a tad lower than a dirt bike and I had a problem where the frame of the bike made contact with the carrier as we were loading right where the ramp and carrier meet. The ramp would actually have to be longer to get around this. We fortunately had another helper who lifted the bike a bit from the rear and we cleared the carrier. Just be prepared and see if you can raise the ramp prior to loading. Very happy with the 400 mile trip and how the carrier performed. I did check on the bolts on the anti-rattle device they include and tweaked them twice during the trip. Overall the carrier is worth the money due to compactness and light weight.
I don't have a pickup or a trailer, but my riding buddies do so I just needed something for mostly short hauls, this carrier is actually very sturdy and I would have no problem doing a long haul with this. A couple of key items not clear from the description - the receiver portion is actually steel, and the aluminum tray bolts to that. The piece included to prevent rocking works great. It is a steel collar with 4 bolts that tighten up the whole system in the receiver and really cinches it up. I added nuts to the 4 bolts to make sure they don't vibrate loose. Set the bolts, then tighten the nuts tight against the collar (on the first 100 mile haul they did not come loose, but I am a bit OCD when it comes to this sort of thing). The ramp works great, and attaches with a couple of wing nuts, which I didn't trust. If I attached the ramp in the future I will also use some straps. I have a KTM 450 and it fits no problem, weights 246 lbs dry. Carrier works fine for this, make sure you have a receiver that can handle 500 lbs tongue weight ( I think that is class V). As a side note, this will get double duty as I am also going to use this for my full-suspension Mt. Bike since my current carrier isn't designed for full-suspension bikes.

Hi there
I will probably start building a theme for a specific site and before I start I want to get all the ideas how to implement everything.
The Thing is, I'd like to have a possibility to display 3-10 pictures in my post (kind of a sidebar).
Now, is there a way to have like little 'galleries' for each post?
The pictures just shouldnt be in the text itself, but rather in another div, all displayed one below the other.
What I imagine is, to kinda have a button in my window, where I write my new post, and on click I could upload several images, which are then displayed in exactly that post.
I'm glad for any link (for example to a free theme, to inspect how they did, or to a forumpost.. whatever), or any hint how to manage to do this.
Or if there already exist som plugins.. etc etc.
Just feed me with your experiences. would be a lot appreciated.
