ST. JOHNS – A Perry County family is becoming a high-flying group of entrepreneurs with a drone aircraft that has already captured bird's-eye views of much of Perry County.
Scott and Joy Fortwendel created Lily Road Aerial Photography a few months ago after seeing the commercial potential of their twin-engine drone.
"It's an amazing piece of equipment and it almost always captures fantastic videos and photos," said Scott Fortwendel, who said the purchase originally stemmed from an interest he had in drones.

TROY – In response to complaints from citizens living nearby, KK Integrated Logistics has taken strides to improve conditions concerning its gravel parking lot. The company has worked to minimize the dust in the air, and mud and rocks tracked by trucks into the roads around its property. The debris was a result of high traffic on the gravel parking lot that had been exacerbated by weather conditions.
CANNELTON – "I don't have a street commissioner. He walked out on me," Cannelton Mayor Mary Snyder told the city's board of public works during the Aug. 8 regular session. That was in reference to David Marsh, who had almost a decade at the utility and led efforts there for the last five years.
According to Snyder, Marsh approached her in mid-July and told her he was quitting. She didn't go into detail about the conversation but said, "I asked for a written resignation but never got one."
TELL CITY – A downtown development group wants to improve the appearance of more Tell City businesses, and has the money to do the work.
Three businesses, Finley's Antiques and Collectibles, Ohio Valley Clockworks and Debra's Studio, have already received funding under the façade improvement program created under the auspices of Brick by Brick On Main.
PERRY COUNTY – What medical services are most lacking in Perry County? That is what a survey being conducted by Perry County Memorial Hospital is trying to answer. Overall, generating a healthier local population within the 1,000 square miles covered by the hospital is the goal of the community health needs assessment.
"The community health care assessment is just that," PCMH Chief Executive Officer Brian Herwig said. "We are reaching out to the community, so the community can tell us what are the health needs."
ST. MEINRAD – Novice Tony Wolniakowski OSB, professed his temporary vows as a Benedictine monk in a ceremony Aug. 6 at Saint Meinrad Archabbey.
He has completed his novitiate, a year of prayer and study of the Benedictine way of life. As is the custom during the profession of vows, he was given a religious name. He will now be known as Brother Kolbe.
Brother Kolbe, 29, is a native of Lansing, Mich. Most recently, he worked for the State of Michigan as an insurance complaint analyst in the Department of Insurance and Financial Services.

School was still a few days away, but the Tell City Marching Marksmen had been in learning mode for a few weeks. Their practices began July 11 and members have been braving the hot days, which have only been intensified by the radiating asphalt of the school's practice grinder.

History of Kansas FlagIt was first used by the Kansas National Guard at Fort Riley for the state troops.
Description of Kansas FlagThe Kansas Flag has a navy blue background bearing the state seal, surrounded by 34 stars and and a sunflower on a twisted bar of gold and blue. The state motto "Ad Astra per Aspera" meaning "To the Stars through Difficulties" is right above the stars. The state name "KANSAS" is written in bold golden letters below the seal.
Symbolism of Kansas FlagThe picture of the Kansas Flag is amazing as the meaning of the state's values is expressed by it. The twisted State Crest stands for the Louisiana Purchase, which resulted in the formation of Kansas. The depiction of the state flower or the sunflower, suggests the ability of Kansas to attend and solve its problems dauntlessly. The importance of the State Seal on the flag's center does not go unnoticed as it breathes out the tale of Kansas. The group of 344 stars huddled in the above portion of the seal, indicates that Kansas was the 34th state admitted to the Union. The seal on the Kansas Flag represents a lush farmland, with a farmer plowing his land near a wooden cabin. The steamboat on the Kansas river is a representation of the state's growing commerce. The sunrise, hills, bison and the Native Americans depicted on the Kansas Flag stand for the rich landscape and natural wealth of the state.
The Kansas Flag is an emblematic representation of all the ideals of the rich state.

I created a CPT and called it Music, where I can create a place on my site for my client's discography. I included a field where I can upload an image, and then added a WYSIWYG editor to it.
I created 3 different items, one for each of his albums. Then I used the shortcode to add each of his albums onto my Music Page.
Question: Can I change the order that these albums are displayed in? It looks like it defaulted to alphabetical order according to the Title of each album.

Thank you.

Did you know that there are 10 times more microbial cells in your body than human cells? The vast majority of them live in your digestive system. Yup, it's a big hotel and we're just the gatekeeper…and the chef…and housekeeping. Everything that these microbes produce interacts with your body, influencing immunity, mood, and inflammation, just to name a few. When your hotel gets taken over by the Hell's Angels, your body has to spend all its energy just cleaning up the mess. Eating sugar and processed food is like calling a convention for all the undesirable characters to set up shop. And once they check in, it's very hard to get them to leave. Probiotics are the nice hotel guests- they leave you a big tip (in the form of vitamins that your body can't synthesize) and call the cops on the junkies in the next room. They love your hotel. Eventually the biker gang realizes that this isn't the hotel for them, and the next thing you know there's a gospel singers' convention in your intestines. You are full of energy and feel light and clean! We use one of the best tested and most therapeutic probiotics, Lactobacillus plantarum, in our drinks. Try a Beet Kvass and let this good guy restore your temple!
3 Comments to "What Are Probiotics?"
love your cute story of gut flora :))
great last line, too!
Hi Kelly-
I hope things are going well for you. They are here – we keep expanding. I keep sending folks your direction as it is prohibitively expensive to ship our kvass to California.
All the best,

The side effect of this mistake is that all songs are renamed "Titee" if you enable file renaming, which is really odd.

You have to rename all your songs by hand !

The documentation is excellent and Naomi provides amazing support. Nothing else offers this kind of functionality.
There are lots of good plugins out there, but few that have awesome support. This plugin does a great job of extending GravityForms + Stripe.
If there's something it doesn't do, the plugin developer is very helpful in finding a solution that will work for your needs.
After a 3-month nightmare with another developer, I discovered gravity+ support and the issue was resolved within a couple of days.
Naomi went above & beyond my expectations!
This plugin works beautifully and is easy to use. More than that though, it is flexible. You can do more with it than any other Stripe plugin on the WordPress repository and also may commercial offerings. I know, I checked them all. This plugin will serve for everything from donations to more sophisticated e-commerce applications. And it will give you a better chance of doing it your way than anything out there.
Thanks for this fantastic plugin!
First off, The advanced features this provides are ABSOLUTELY NOT FOUND IN OTHER STRIPE TOOLS. I've talked support teams with RECURLY, WOOCOMMERCE, MOONCLERK, and GRAVITY FORMS (proprietary) STRIPE. They simply do not support the features that most heavy Stripe users need. Their support teams don't seem to have the desire to include those features. THIS PLUGIN IS THE MOST ADVANCED STRIPE SOLUTION ON THE MARKET. I know because I've looked at them all.
If you're looking for the most flexibility in how you charge your customers GET THIS PLUGIN. The price is right and could easily be A LOT more. Get it now before it gets more popular and expensive!
I was amazed at the support on a free plugin, so I went ahead and opted for the pro version and glad I did. The plugin is amazing, and as a hardcore dev who writes a ton of code, it's refreshing as hell to come across something that's extensible, properly written, and something I finally don't have to write on my own.
All around impressive and no complaints.
This plugin works great. After banging my head for hours trying to get the gravity forms add-on for stripe plugin to work, it was a huge relief that this one worked so simply and easily. Definitely 5 stars.
I recently implemented this plugin for the first time and it's all I'll recommend to future inquiring non-profits who wish to accept donations. It's very simple to setup, the documentation is well written and Naomi is extremely helpful.
I've used this plugin for several non-profits who want to accept donations on their website but don't want the hassle of dealing with Paypal. Be sure to check out the Gravity Forms + (More) Stripe extension to accept recurring payments as well.
This plugin works well for our need to collect recurring payments from clients through Stripe. The plugin developer was available when I needed help. I had a plugin incompatibility with wishlist member's stripe library, but after commenting that part out in wishlist member, all is working great.
Thank you-- this is a good example of premium WordPress theme support at its best.

I bought this vice at the store, been using it steadily for a couple of months. It isn't in the same league as my dad's old Wilton, Yost & Ridgid vices, but for the money it's well made, should last well.The manual & online specs have errors: jaws open to 3.5 inches. If you'll be applying any real pressure, I'd guess 3 inches is tops - you want at least half an inch of threads engaged, or you'll strip the screw. The mounting holes are listed in the manual as 7/16", but they're 3/8". It came with way too much grease on it, but too much is better than too little.All in all, one of the better buys I've found.

The appratus that the threaded shaft goes through broke off which make the vise un-useable. It's made of pot metal, very pourous and not sturdy. This is the achilles heel of the vise and I'm having a difficult time trying to get another part. The part is not shown in the parts manual. Not to say it will be any better if I can get a replacement part. If unable get the part, I will not replace the vise with another from HF. [*]

ICE and Border Patrol Abuses
In recent years, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained and deported record numbers of people from the United States. Many of ICE's removal tactics take away even the right to a fair hearing in court, as the government rushes to judgment and tries to ram people through a rubber-stamp system that ignores individual circumstances. These enforcement programs pose a variety of threats to civil liberties: They implicate the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, the constitutional guarantee of due process, and the constitutional guarantee of equal protection and freedom from discrimination based on race, ethnicity, and national origin. ICE's enforcement practices also impose heavy social costs, tearing American families apart and undermining community trust in law enforcement.
The Border Patrol and its parent agency, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), operate in a vast zone stretching 100 miles from any land or sea border. This includes entire states such as Florida and Maine as well as almost all of the country's top metropolitan areas. CBP's militarization of the border region has produced rampant abuses ranging from racial profiling to excessive force. CBP uses interior checkpoints and roving patrols located far from the border to apprehend individuals who are not recent border crossers.
The ACLU is working to ensure that U.S. immigration enforcement is transparent and accountable to the American public.

Definition of virelay in English:
(also virelai)

Solo Sara Bareilles makes big impression in small room
The voice of Sara Bareilles could fill, and has filled, venues larger than the Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center Auditorium, which sold out its 435-seat capacity when she stopped there Friday night.
Bareilles was in the midst of her first-ever solo tour and evidently wanted the intimacy of a smaller venue - combined, perhaps, with the assurance that if she failed, she would do so in front of a smaller crowd. »Read Full Article(2)

Dashicons Make Your WordPress Dashboard Cooler
What Are Dashicons?
On December 1, 2013, WordPress 3.8 – code name "Parker" – was released. One of the highlights of 3.8 was the re-skin of the WordPress admin, officially called the Dashboard. The re-skin got rid of the blue, grey, and gradient interface for a more modern and flat design. Included in the update were Dashicons, an icon font.
An icon font has all the benefits of being text and none of the downsides of being an image. Size, color, and pretty much anything else you can do with CSS can be applied to icon fonts.
There are several ways to use Dashicons inside the Dashboard. For this example I'll be using a plugin, but you don't have to. If you're more of a functions.php person, it will work there too. I'll also be skipping over the details of customizing WordPress and focus on Dashicon-specific code.

Make your WordPress theme SASSy
If you haven't heard the news, SASS is where it's at. What's SASS you ask? SASS is a CSS extension language that's all the rage these days. It allows you to do things with CSS you never thought possible, saving vast amounts of time and resources on your projects.
SASS allows you to utilize functionality that isn't currently available in standard CSS, such as:
- Variables
- Nesting
- Mixins
- Partials
- Inheritance
- Logic
SASS is just a pre-processor written in Ruby that will compile down directly to CSS files. This means that it is fully compatible with any project you currently have that utilizes CSS. Best of all, you can still use all of your previous CSS knowledge within SASS! Use the SASS functionality as little or as much as you'd like, you can always go back later and add more to it as you learn more. You just can't lose!
SASS Examples
I should make something clear, SASS and SCSS are two different things, and some folks do have a preference over one of the other. The trouble with this is the terms often gets used interchangeably, when people talk about SASS they could mean either one of the syntaxes. Although I state SASS throughout this article I don't want you to get confused as the syntax I tend to work with more often is SCSS. Information on the differences between the two can be found here.
Now that we have that out of the way, I'd like to point out this article is specifically about using SASS with WordPress, so I'm not going to go to in-depth with functionality, but I'd like to show you a couple cool things that you can do: Continue reading Make your WordPress theme SASSy

Leedon Park, Singapore
We want to show how an idea, in the mind of an architect, can develop into an architectural reality.
Atelier East is a master planning, architectural and interior design practice. Established in 1990 by the firm's principal partner, Mr Setyadi Ongkowidjaja, Atelier East has worked on several projects ranging from new and refurbishment, space planning and interior design, with special emphasis on residential, resort and school projects. Although its headquarters is in Singapore, much of our work is located in other parts of Asia, primarily Indonesia.
Over the past 20 years we have sought to develop the skills and organisation to tackle design within our informal task force where professionalism and individual talent are encouraged. It is our aim to be perceived as an award-winning and innovative firm. Innovation is the hallmark of quality design and in keeping up with this, we have acquired a highly skilled staff and an up-to-date computerised (CAD) system.
Within its simple design, each point of the equilateral triangle of the Atelier East's logo represents the delicate relationship between the Client, Contractor and Architect that bears the foundation of successful results hence the eternal triangle, where equality, communication and understanding are paramount. A triangle depicts logical and rational thinking, a solid structure conveying reliability. The colour Yellow symbolises knowledge and eastern royalty. Furthermore, the letters A for Atelier and E for East can be identified within.
Mr Setyadi Ongkowidjaja was born on 10 October 1957 in Bandung, Indonesia. He obtained his architectural degrees from the Victoria University of Manchester where he was awarded runner-up for the Laurie Rossant Prize. He spent eleven years in the UK. Quality residential, resort, school and hotel projects that he has designed can be found in the UK, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and China. In Singapore, he designed the British Council Library and participated in the architectural competition for the Tanglin Trust Senior School. A Singapore Permanent Resident since 1987, Ongkowidjaja, who is a ballroom dance enthusiast and was a marathon runner, has served on several Southeast Asia's architecture, interiror design and landscape design juries, including the prestigious Singapore Young Architect of the Year Award 1994, chaired by Lord Norman Foster.
Presently Ongkowidjaja serves as a member of the Publication Sub-committee of the Singapore Institute of Architects and represents the Institute in the International Union of Architects (UIA) Work Program on Heritage.
Rachel, a British Citizen, has a BA (Architectural Studies) and B Arch in Architecture from the National University of Singapore. She joined Atelier East in 1990 where she has been directly involved in the design, design development and contract administration of various interior design projects. Prior to joining Atelier East, Rachel worked on various residential and commercial projects and took part in a hospital design competition. Rachel's expertise is in the selection of the appropriate soft furnishing, furniture, colours, lighting and decoration that will make a house transformed into a home.
Rachel enjoys sharing about music, art and culture with young people and volunteers her time to teach in the Sunday School at her local church.
Atelier East works in association with Atelier Design Architects and Atelier East Interiors.

The Odyssey
by Homer
The Odyssey Odysseus Quotes
Quote 1
(Odysseus, in his tale:) "We are Achaians coming from Troy, beaten off our true course by winds from every direction across the great gulf of the open sea, making for home, by the wrong way, on the wrong courses. So we have come. So it has pleased Zeus to arrange it."' (9.259-262)
Here Odysseus tries to win sympathy from Polyphemos, the Cyclops, by pointing out that it wasn't his fault that he came to his shore.
Quote 2
(Odysseus:) 'Next I told the rest of the men to cast lots, to find out which of them must endure with me to take up the great beam and spin it in the Cyclops' eye when sweet sleep had come over him. The ones drew it whom I myself would have wanted chosen, four men, and I myself was the fifth, and allotted with them.' (9.331-335)
How convenient: Odysseus wants four men to draw the short straws, and those four men just so happen to draw the short straws (or whatever they're using to cast lots). It seems like fate is on Odysseus's side.
Quote 3
(Odysseus, in his tale:) '"Aias, son of stately Telamon, could you then never even in death forget your anger against me, because of that cursed armor? The gods made it to pain the Achaians, so great a bulwark were you, who were lost to them. We Achaians grieved for your death as incessantly as for Achilleus the son of Peleus at his death, and there is no other to blame, but Zeus; he, in his terrible hate for the army of the Danaan spearmen, visited this destruction upon you."' (11.553-560)
Odysseus tries to reclaim Aias's friendship by reminding him that his death was purely ill-starred and no fault of his. He blames Zeus, and not Aias, for taking his life and reminds his friend that one cannot always control his own fate.

hi all so my LO who will actually be 11 months old next week has yet to eat meats...she gags and spits out any kind of baby food meat I give her. Is it bad she isn't eating meats at all yet? she eats plenty of veggies, fruits, yougurt, and formula and we are slowly starting table foods as she wasn't too fond of them a month ago but seems interested now. Should I just give her pieces of whatever meat/cheese we have for dinner? I figure at her 12 month appt I will ask ped for a detailed nuttrition/diet she should be on but i am just worried she isn't getting the necessary protein?
10 month old hates baby food meats!...
Mine hated the strained meats at first, but then grew to like them. I asked the pedi about protein, and he said the baby gets necessary protein from formula. Have you tried giving her eggs? Some recommend giving only the cooked yolks, but the pedi said the whole egg is okay, too.
"Love heals scars love left" -- Henry Rollins

<3 L + C ~ Since 2003 <3
I would suggest trying the blends too. My son won't eat the pureed meat by itself, but when I blend it with carrots and potato he eats it right up. If you're concerned about him getting enough protein, you could blend his favorite fruit puree with soft tofu. My son loves pears so I puree the pears with soft tofu. It's really easy to do, and he loves it! Good luck!
I've never tried the jarred meats. He's had whatever's in the jarred dinners, though, just fine. He gets whatever meat we're having for dinner, like chicken or hamburger or canned tuna.
My DH wrote a book: https://www.createspace.com/6302989
Lovely Lady April 2011
Handsome Man August 2012
At this point your LO does not need meats. They get plenty of protein in formula or BM.
I would do meat as finger foods if you are very concerned but you can just skip them. Have you smelled/tasted it? Even homemade pureed meat is nasty.

Are you feeling lucky?
Lucky 88 is a poker machine from Aristocrat, a popular land-based pokies machine that has recently made the move into the online gambling world. The game is based in China, with symbols featuring traditional dragons, cranes and lanterns.
If Asian-themed Pokies rock your wold then check out the many others we have on site in addition to Lucky 88.
Aristocrat's Lucky 88
Pokie Format
Lucky 88 is a 25-payline online pokie, which provides players with plenty of chances to make winning combinations on the reels. Players can choose to wager on any number of paylines, and as they make their selection, the paylines light up on the screen to show exactly where winning combinations will take place. There is also a wide range of betting options: 2c, 4c, 10c, 20c, 40c, 50c, $1, $2 and $4. This makes the maximum wager $100 ($120 with Extra Play), so Lucky 88 pokies should appeal to both high rollers and casual players.
Chinese Luck Theme
The Chinese theme is a unique one for a poker machine. Regionally-based pokies are quite rare in the gambling market, and Lucky 88 brings players to a whole new world by immersing them in the beautiful and calming Asian culture. Aristocrat has also created several other regional pokies, including Big Ben and 50 Lions.
Chinese Luck Theme
Power Pay
Lucky 88 is a Power Pay title from Aristocrat, which features a wide range of bonus options for players to take advantage of. As such, players have multiple chances to win generous cash prizes in several different ways.
This exciting bonus feature is triggered when three lanterns appear across the reels. There are several free games available, or players can choose to roll the dice for an extra exciting gamble and even greater cash prizes.
Very Generous Wild
In Lucky 88, the wise man is the wild symbol. He substitutes for all other symbols in order to help you create winning combinations as you spin the reels. When he is involved in a winning combination, he can award a random multiplier: x2, x3, x5, x8, x18, x38 or x88. He can also award a cash prize of 888 when matched with other wild symbols.
Extra Choice
When selecting your bet, you can choose to select the Extra Choice option (but only if you have wagered on all 25 paylines). This adds 5 coins to your wager, and it is the only way to trigger extra bonus features during the Free Spins game. The following free games are available with the Extra Choice feature:
- 25 Free Games: when a wild is involved in a win, the prize is multiplied by 5x or 18x
- 15 Free Games: when a wild is involved in a win, the prize is multiplied by 8x or 38x
- 8 Free Games: when a wild is involved in a win, the prize is multiplied by 18x or 88x
- 4 Free Games: when a wild is involved in a win, the prize is multiplied by 88x
Dice Game
There is also a fun dice game that is awarded, in which 8 dice are rolled for the chance to provide you with extra cash prizes. For every 8 that appears on the dice, you are awarded a cash prize.
Lucky 88 offers players a very engaging and exciting online pokie experience. You can count on triggering plenty of winning combinations during the base game, thanks to the number of paylines and the generous wild symbol. Over the course of 100 spins, we earned over 200 coins – many of which were due to the generous multipliers awarded by the wild symbol. We did not trigger the free spins game – but, hopefully, you'll have more luck!
Land-Based Origins
In land-based casinos, Lucky 88 is a Viridian cabinet. In addition to being a modern game console, it is also remarkable for its carbon footprint. Viridian cabinets are designed to use up less energy than the average electronic gaming device. As casinos across Australia use up a great deal of electric energy, it is important for game designers like Viridian to show their commitment to being 'green'.
This is one of the first Aristocrat titles to make its way into the online casino world. Poker machines have become incredibly popular in Australia, and it is no wonder that developers like Aristocrat have decided to launch these titles at online gambling websites. As such, the game is likely to attract primarily online gamers in addition to those who have played the game in any land-based venue across the country.

At OnlinePokies4U, we offer this game completely for free; so, you can spin the reels as much as you'd like without having to worry about time or money you're spending.
Aristocrat has a bright future in the online gambling industry. If the success of Lucky 88 in the online casino market is any indication, classic Aristocrat pokies (as well as the developer's newer, more modern titles) will continue to thrive in the digital gaming world.

Hi there,
I embarked on installing the multiple language widgit Gengo 2.5.3 because I want a site that works in English (default), Yiddish, Hebrew and Swedish (strange combo, yes, I know.)
Anyway, i installed and activated Gengo, went to its language menu and set Yiddish as the first language - a mistake because the first langauge set is made into the default langauge of the website. The default should be english.
Now if i just try to access the front of the website all i get is this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in ~/wordpress/wp-includes/classes.php on line 145
I can go directly to my login page, which displays a link at the top left which reads "back to yiddish" but when i enter I get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_currentuserinfo() in ~/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/gengo/gengo.php on line 1557
Please please help me! I'd like to reverse whatever the hell i just did. And I am new, so please be easy!

I want to share this report that came to me from Joe Maxwell, CMA NW Evangelist.
Greetings Team,
It is good to report that our mission team in Haiti is out of danger. Following is an update from John Ogden and Kerry Gibson.
From John Ogden CEO;
Thank you for all of your prayers for the CMA team in Haiti and also the other teams we have around the world at this time. I visited with Kerry this morning and his team is at the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic and no longer in danger. They are being well taken care of and said the lodging and food are great. Everyone's spirits are high. They will soon be back in the Dominican Republic and in the hands of Missionary Ventures where they will continue to be well cared for. This has been a trying time for them as well as our CMA families, but we believe the hand of God was upon them and that things far greater than we could comprehend were being accomplished in CMA, as well as with our ministry partners, for the Kingdom of God.
From Kerry Gibson, National Evangelist and Mission Team Leader;
Under cover of darkness the UN loaded our baggage into one APC and positioned us into 2 others. We gathered up and did a practice run about an hour before the scheduled 02:40 load time. After the practice drill the lights were killed to avoid detection by the Haitians and to give the appearance of "all quiet." and then we waited.
At 02:40, on the nose, the leader came in and gave the command "vaminos."
We loaded our respective vehicles quietly and in the darkness our convoy slipped out of the gates and into the Haitian streets. From that point on there wasn't anything covert about it. It was fast and loud. Once out in the city streets our convoy separated, possibly to make it more difficult for anyone who may be interested, to focus on the Blancos. (Whites) The entire run took about a half hour and we arrived at the much larger, more secure, Chileian army base outside of town to wait on the next leg of our journey out.
Thank you for your prayers and support.

For the story on Christian Motorcyclist Association Missionaries attacked in Haiti last Wednesday see this CNN Article
I heard from John Ogden Sr who wrote:
I have just visited with Kerry by phone. They are doing well. He and the team are safe and being cared for. They are in the hands of the UN and being treated well. They will be out of the country shortly, please continue to pray. We believe the Holy Spirit is doing things beyond what we can see and what is being accomplished is far greater than what was originally anticipated.

This picture was painted in one hour by a woman from Texas during the Womens' session with Holly Ogden. Holly is Junior's wife, quiet, yet dynamic and strong … she goes 16 hours a day and runs this place with her kids right alongside her, yet she stepped into leading this session at the last minute. It's clear that the session was successful for this painter.

On the road for CMA Changing of the Colors, Saturday Oct 16
I got up about 3 am and have been sitting here working and cleaning up files. An occasional coal train goes by and I can hear the far off rumble. There is something about the lazy sound of the freight horn as it nears a road crossing that I find enchanting. We're on a hill and the highway is about ¼ mile away. You can hear the trucks grab another gear close to the top to make it over, then dead silence except for the dog's gentle snoring.
Wait … is that the rumble of thunder in the distance? Here in the rolling hills and heavy forest the sound is muffled but you can hear it roll over hill and dale, only slightly interrupted by the lazy horn of that coal train a comin'. What should I think as I hear a few drops of rain, a muffled crack of lightening, a slow role of thunder. Whats that? Why… it's more than a pitter patter of rain! Ah the benefits of an RV.
We are greeted Sunday by a warm welcome from the Pastor " Glad to have CMA on the Hill, we sure need the rain! It always rains when you put your tents up." The local greeter at Walmart smiles at us as he pushes a cart our way. With a chuckle he asks, "You camped on the mountain?" We smile back and say, "We sure are." He lights up and says, "Glad to have ya! We sure need the rain." He's chuckling as we bow our heads and walk away. I am afraid to get a much needed hair cut for the comments to be made.
"Oh just consider it trail juice" says Denver Dennis, the Fast Lane Rep who rides an ATV. He likes to mud it!
Well … time to get out the rain gear and feed the dog.
Saturday Oct 23
Listening to morning sounds again. There's always that coal train a rumblin' with the lazy horn, and today it seems a lot more in the on position than off. Of course it's Saturday and all the moms are hoping for rest in this Arkansas rural area, but it's as if the train conductor is on the payroll of all the cartoon sponsors. I am a terribly slow typist and I can still hear the horn very faint in the distance, as if to never go away.
During the train highlight a neighbor on Iron Mountain added a little bass to the all the blaring as he was lighting off his Harley with the squeal of steel on steel. Now a totally different rumble … kapockety, kapockety. I can just imagine the conductor of a symphony waving his arms and enticing each member to chime in at the ideal moment. The horn, the rumble, the clanking of it all combining into a perfect melody to wake up all the little sleepy redneck chil'in to get up and get their camo on to watch the cartoons.
Rick Steffey, National Evangelist, on his white Harley
Finally it all comes to head with the Harley leaving the campground and letting all who can hear know he is the big bull on the mountain … by revving and getting all six gears in perfect harmony. All of a sudden the beauty of the train symphony has taken a back seat to the Harley catching octaves unimaginable. Then … in perfect synchronization the Harley fades into the distance and the conductor stretches commandingly with his baton to bring the low rumble of the Cat engine in a Freightliner, giving a new and different high bass before it all fades out softly.
Ahh Saturday at its best.

Hello folks –
We're happy to announce that beginning this month we'll be traveling extensively around the US putting on shows and telling stories of "achievable adventures" as part of a larger plan to get more riders out of the suburbs and into the real world of back country travel.
We will be hitting many of the major metropolitan areas in the United States, and we hope you'll come say hi when we are near your town.
We're starting off this Saturday at San Diego BMW Motorcycles in sunny San Diego, CA. We'd like to invite all our customers and friends from the area to come on by and hang out with us for an hour or two.
We'll be doing a fun presentation about "Adventure Riding" and we'll be talking about the Dakar rally, riding the Continental Divide and many other things.
Here is some food for thought… a great quote by Charles Kuralt – "Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything".
So get off the interstate and let us show you a bit more about the utterly amazing things you can see in the back country. Please drop by San Diego BMW this weekend and visit with us!
Where: San Diego BMW
5673 Kearny Villa Road, San Diego, CA, 92123
When: Saturday October 16th, 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM

Welcome to the Big Nasty Dual Sport Ride sponsored by Happy Trails products at www.happy-trail.com.
This ride is for Dual Sport and Adventure Bikes only. On the ride you will encounter city streets, dirt roads, two track roads and paved roads. Please be advised that this is an enjoyable ride and not a race. You need to ride with caution and be expecting oncoming traffic at all times.
When riding in a group you are to wait at crucial intersections for the rider behind you. When approaching the rider who is waiting for you at the intersection, if that rider is clear to go raise your left hand and wave him off. If you need to speak to the rider for any reason leave your hands on the grips and approach him. If you are the rider waiting please abide by these rules. It is not about you seeing the other rider and then leaving it is about keeping a chain of riders intact. If you blow it you are expected to ride out and put it back together.
We will leave Rocky's Diner at 9 AM and proceed through Boise on paved streets. Before you leave please adjust your tire pressure for the off highway portion of the ride.
We will go up Rocky Canyon to the Ridge Road and turn left. We will ride the Ridge to Eagleson Road. We will come out at Robie Creek Summit and turn left towards Clear Creek.
When you reach Grimes Creek you turn RIGHT towards HWY 21.
Just before HWY 21 you turn left onto Wildcat Gulch and proceed to the road between Idaho City and Centerville.
You turn left on this road and take a left at Centerville towards Pioneerville.
There is a tricky left up Dodge Lane (none of these intersections are signed) where you proceed to a T and you turn left.
This road is not on the GPS Route and it is the conclusion of the Big Nasty 1 Route. Proceed on this road by dead reckoning to the Start of Big Nasty 2 Route.
There are some rutted sections on this part that make it interesting.
Stop for gas in Garden Valley at the Chevron and then go to the Longhorn in Crouch for lunch.
From Lunch proceed up the South Fork Road to Scriver Creek and turn left. Watch for the intersections and proceed to Smiths Ferry. The route does not really go over Packer John; we take a right and come back to the road later.
From Smiths's Ferry get to Sagehen Reservoir.
From Sagehen go to Dodson Pass and turn left.
There are several more intersections that get us to Big Willow Creek and eventually to the Big Nasty Event.
You will camp in a special designated area behind the Happy Trails Booth. The local CMA Chapters will feed us dinner and Breakfast.
Enjoy the Ride
Be SAFE
May God Bless You as you enjoy HIS CREATION

Ryan William Cantrell is our first club member to make all 45 sites so we send a congratulatory shout out to him. He racked up approximately 6,900 miles and invested about 28 days to visit all the destination points. WOW! – outstanding job from an outstanding rider and club member. A new page is coming to the Idaho Adventure Motorcycle Club website called "Challenger's Hall of Fame". Anyone who makes it to all 45 challenge sites and posts their photographic evidence will be permanently pictured on that page. We have several Challengers getting close to the platinum mark….looks like it's turning out to be a great summer for riding and we have a lot of awesome pictures being posted from the sites.
By Samuel Stone
So now you have that new or at least new to you dual sport motorcycle and are just itching to go on a great adventure into the wilds of our backyard…the Owyhee's! Well let's put this in perspective, how many are aware that the county of Owyhee is 7,697 square miles that in itself is nearly the size of the state of Massachusetts at 10,555 square miles, and Owyhee barely has a population of over 10,000, so I guess you wonder where I'm going with this? As you are already apprehensive about the thought of heading out there, part excitement and part terror, your senses are heightened with adrenaline. So now you are out there…nothing to worry about if you are prepared.
Being prepared is both mental and physical and most of us, if not all of us, for the most part are physically capable or we wouldn't be riding; so what it boils down to is your mental state. Once you can get past this openness of the desert, it is a wonderful if not spiritually healing place, a place that allows tranquility.
I started riding the Owyhee's back in 1994 on a Yamaha TW 200 and thoroughly enjoyed my solitude, and I must admit to roll up on a butte or bluff and kill the engine then there is, "nothing" not a sound other than the wind or perhaps the rustle of the brush accompanied with the sweet fragrance of sage or juniper. Then you start to survey the land slowly turning in a 360 degree circle, and it hits you. You are really alone! Then a fleeting ephemeral thought passes: "I sure hope my bike starts." The fight or flight moment envelops you ever so briefly, and then you know all is well.
The Owyhee's will delight you in so many ways and there truly is something for everyone from the go fast extremists to explorers and scenic riders; it will make you feel alive yet provides you with a feeling of awe! If you are something of a neophyte to riding the gravel/dirt, I would recommend a wonderful scenic ride called the Mud Flat Road, also known as the Owyhee Upland Scenic Byway. This can be ridden in a day, but I would say you will enjoy it more as an overnighter. This allows you to actually watch as the topography changes numerous times. More information on this can be found at the following site: http://www.idahobyways.gov/byways/owyhee-uplands.aspx
One little jewel I stumbled on many years back is the Bruneau Canyon Overlook. You come to it following along down the Clover-Three Creek Road, and since you are heading that way, keep going south towards Murphy Hot Springs and then on to Jarbidge where food, spirit and fuel await – all in all a good easy ride. Don't let your apprehension dissuade you; the Owyhee's will move you in ways you never thought possible! It will make you feel so insignificant as you survey all that surrounds you, and remember by pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, you will learn more about who you really are and of the nature and history that surrounds you.
In closing I would like to say to know yourself and be diligent, stay within your riding abilities for you are the only one who knows your limits. Don't be shy to explore, and if you feel the terrain is beyond your skill set, get off and hike around. Even I won't ride certain places alone. There is plenty to see, old homesteads, ghost towns, cemeteries of times long past, flora and fauna to overwhelm. Remember to carry plenty of water and account for changes in the weather. Leave everything as is so those who come after you also can enjoy what you have discovered. Respect property; if a gate is closed then make sure it is left as you found it once you have gone through.
By Toni Toepfer
The 2010 IAMC Challenge provides an exciting way for adventure riders of all levels to explore the Idaho outdoors. As a newcomer to dual sport riding, I view the Challenge as a good encouragement to get to know the surrounding country, by bike and myself.
Having grown up in Germany, Idaho is still new to me. In Europe one cannot experience the outdoors being secluded more than 10 miles from civilization. With outdoors as untouched as here in the Northwest, I would feel foolish not to be exploring.
The westerns I watched as a kid ("The Indian in the Cupboard," for example), the stories I grew up with of Native American living, and the idea of wildlife such as bears and rattlesnakes roaming freely made me want to further experience what the Northwest is all about. My family went on road trips into the Idaho mountains to go camping occasionally, and I regularly visited a friend's cabin north of Boise in High Valley. I always had a lot of fun on these retreats although the idea of adventure motorcycling was still remote to me. This helped me realize that what remains of the wild west and its history is right here all around us.
After receiving my driver's license at age 17, I bought a worthless car that was quickly replaced by my first motorcycle. A close friend's father (Sam Stone) actually introduced me to motorcycling when the car broke down and I needed another form of transportation. Sam gave me his Yamaha TW and pulled me into adventure riding by the aid of abundance pictures and stories he returned with after every one of his rides. After 4,000 miles of riding to school, along the Boise Ridge, and around Lake Cascade, I was looking for a bigger bike, and I purchased my current Kawasaki KLR650 in July 2009. The extended range and comfortable highway speeds of my KLR were the last encouragement I needed for extended trips on a motorcycle.
My KLR is a 2003 model that I purchased used through Happy Trails. Beneficial to me, this meant it came with several extras that would be basic additions to anyone interested in adventure riding. These include a luggage system (metal panniers), nerf bars to protect the front and a bash plate to protect the engine. Additionally, the doohickey had also been done, something every KLR should have before thinking about relying on the bike in remote places. I cannot think of a dual sport bike that doesn't need additions to make it more reliable before taking it out into the back country. Besides the additions the bike came with, my philosophy has revolved around riding what I have until it needs replacing, and making sure to keep up on the maintenance meticulously along the way. Additionally, I try not to polish the chrome too much – when I go for a ride I would like to enjoy myself without worrying about what might break. Being new to the sport, these ideas may change, and I am also not riding a $15,000 dream machine. Having put more and more miles on my bike, there are upgrades that I now would not want to go without. I replaced my gas tank with a plastic one, adding protection and expanding the bike' range to 350 miles. I purchased a used GPS that is a comforting addition when exploring (though a detailed map nevertheless always stays with me). And on my last three-day trip, I carried a SPOT, an assuring safety device in case I ran into trouble. These are all items helping me get out into the country more easily. As far as departing goes, I generally leave spontaneously as I am a college student with relatively few ties.
When I first found out about the Challenge last winter, I saw it as a very fun way of getting into dual sport riding. Since day one of riding, I have loved getting out on two wheels – whether by myself or with friends – but being a rookie I never used to open a map book, point at a random location and say, "This is where I will explore." The Challenge provided a guarantee for me that whatever site I ride to, these are fun places that experienced riders have previously approved.
About 8,000 miles later of riding to 38 challenge sites, I have learned several valuable lessons. While it doesn't take a motorcycle journey to help me realize to love the place I live in, I have nevertheless definitely learned to love it. Wherever I have gone on these rides, the incredible scenery and the profuseness of wildlife have astounded me. Loving where I live is important when it comes to adventure riding. As I am out there so often, I do my best to practice responsible behavior. This usually holds as easy as following the Forrest Service instructions, but also includes rules everyone should always follow, like leaving nothing behind and not disturbing the wildlife. There are simple things I have learned expanding my common sense, like staying off a muddy road. My clutch always thanks me, and ideally, when the road dries, no fellow rider will face a potential crash from a foot deep rut. Expensive road repair costs are avoided that way too. I have also learned my lesson about staying off very snowed-in roads. I find much enjoyment in pushing my limits as well as those of my bike, but after pushing said limits, it is more enjoyable, as well as admirable, to trust oneself and be able to turn around, for example when seeing muddy roads that initially appear harmless.
While the Challenge provides a fun way to explore, it goes without saying that the people I have ridden with and the experiences shared have been the primary components in contributing to my passion for adventure riding. This first season has taught me the value of exploring the outdoors together. I cannot thank fellow riders enough for being there when I was stuck in the mud, when my chain came off in the mountains, or the numerous times I have been shown how to change tires and how to replace valve-shims. Exploring together, setting camp at night and chatting over the fire are activities I cannot see myself getting bored with. Lastly, the Challenge has taught me that preset locations are not necessary to help me realize wherever I go, the place we live in is amazing – there is an endless amount of destinations and every one is worth the journey.
By Craig Olsen, M.D.
In the previous two issues of this newsletter we have discussed how dehydration contributes to rider fatigue and potentiates both hyperthermia and hypothermia, all of which are real risks that need to be managed when adventure riding. Since we are in the hottest portion of the adventure-riding season – July and August – it will be worthwhile to briefly review dehydration and hyponatremia and how to manage these two riding risks.
Dehydration occurs when you lose more fluid than you take in and your body does not have enough water (and other fluids) to carry out its normal functions. We routinely lose water as we: 1) breathe with humidified air leaving the body, 2) sweat to cool the body, and 3) urinate or have a bowel movement to rid the body of waste products. Each day the average adult loses more than 10 cups (close to 2.5 liters) of water through these mechanisms [3]. In Idaho's dry desert climate insensible water loses from breathing and sweating will be much higher than a region of the country with similar temperatures but much higher humidity. To get an idea of the magnitude of these losses, during a brisk walk, up to 16 ounces of sweat may be produced to allow for body cooling. That is a pound of water lost that needs to be replaced [1]. Similar or greater loses routinely occur while riding a motorcycle. These loses can be potentiated by other health conditions (increasing age, diabetes, congestive heart failure, vomiting or diarrhea) and medications (diuretics, antihypertensive, etc.).
Symptoms of mild dehydration become noticeable after 2% of one's normal water volume has been lost [2]. Since 75% of our body is water, for the average male (150-160 pounds) that is approximately one liter of fluid loss before symptoms become noticeable. For the average female (120-130 pounds) symptoms become noticeable with even less fluid loss. Mild to moderate dehydration is likely to cause dry, sticky mouth, sleepiness or tiredness (fatigue), thirst, muscle cramps, headache, dizziness, and/or lightheadedness. With severe dehydration symptoms will progress to confusion, generalized weakness, coma, progressive multisystem organ failure, and death if untreated [1-3].
Prevention of dehydration is best accomplished by drinking sufficient water. The greater the water losses through perspiration, obviously, the more water that must be consumed to avoid dehydration. For routine non-stressful riding in which a person is not perspiring to any large degree, drinking when one is thirsty is sufficient to maintain hydration. When the riding becomes more technical and demanding, much more physical energy is expended and insensible water losses from perspiring will be significantly higher. Under these circumstances, especially in hot, dry environments, relying on thirst as an indicator of dehydration is not adequate. It is best to hydrate the day before such a ride and keep drinking lots of water during the ride. The best indicator of adequate hydration is urine output that should be copious and clear, not limited and dark yellow (concentrated).
Hyponatremia resulting from an abnormally low blood level of sodium can result from over hydration secondary to compensating for excessive perspiration. Sodium is an essential electrolyte that helps to regulate water levels in the fluid in and around cells. Normal blood sodium levels are 135-145 milliEquivalents/liter. Up to 2 grams of salt (sodium) can be lost per liter of sweat. If only water is replaced (preventing dehydration), hypopnatremia will result [4].
Early warning symptoms of hypponatremia include nausea, muscle cramps, disorientation, lethargy, fatigue, slurred speech, and confusion. Severe forms of hypponatremia may lead to seizures, coma and death. Since the early symptoms are similar to those of dehydration alone, further treatment of dehydration (taking in additional water) only worsens the severity of the hyponatremia [4-5]. According to a recent study, women appear more prone to hyponatremia than men [6].
Again, prevention of hyponatremia is the best treatment by supplementing the rehydration with a sports drink containing sodium (e.g. Gatorade). Use these sports drinks in moderation (perhaps every other or every third liter or replacement fluid) since many contain sugars and/or caffeine (Red Bull, PowerAde, Gatorade, etc) both of which can contribute to dehydration, especially in individuals with diabetes. Avoid salt tablets since they may lead to hypernatremia that worsens congestive heart failure and hypertension. Another alternative for electrolyte replacement is an electrolyte add-in (e.g. Elete) that can be added to your replacement water [4-7].
Be aware of the effects of dehydration and hyponatremia, particularly during the hot, dry riding season, and take active steps to prevent both before and during your ride. Doing so will make your ride more pleasant while reducing and thus adequately managing these two riding risks.
