Motovation Frame Sliders for FJR1300 06-12
Product Information
Motovation Frame Sliders for FJR1300 06-12
They will fit the 2008 bikes with the after market 'winged' lower faring panels but the sliders will not extend past those 'wings'. We have seen these lower fairing panels installed on some European FJR's.
These frame sliders mount directly onto the frame. They have machined aluminum collars inserted into the sliders that fit snugly into your frame for maximum strength and impact force distribution. Comes with two galvanized high grade steel bolts. These will fit only the Yamaha FJR1300 Supersport Tourer 2006/9 model. No fairing modification will be required. When you look at them it will be very obvious where they fit on the bike. A bit different from other manufacturers that use a solid aluminum slider or solid aluminum mounting posts, ours are nylon with aluminum collar inserts. This race tested and proven design allows more shock absorption and does not allow mounts to be so strong that they transmit too much stress to the frame. This design is also harder to machine than a solid aluminum post as the tolerances need to be tighter. We have determined that this one piece design supplemented with internal aluminum inserts provides the right balance of strength vs energy absorption.
This is an easy install with minimal tools. Manufacturer's torque specifications and locktite are strongly recommended.

Manager purchased this condo in 1999
The best location for explore all attractions in San Francisco and Fishermen's wharf.
Johnson, the owner, was efficient and responsive during the booking process. Norman, the property manager, e-mailed access instructions and although not required by us, he was available to respond to questions or concerns during our stay.
The home was as advertised, well equipped kitchen, lovely relaxing lounge/dining area with fire (it was a little cooler in San Francisco than we'd expected) - all of which we made full use of. There was a lovely little outdoor area for dining but unfortunately we didn't have the weather to sit out.
The location was ideal for us - our first trip to San Francisco. It was close to shops, restaurants and many tourist attractions - all within walking distance. We used public transportation, which worked well for us and we found the locals really helpful in directing us when we got stuck. We attended our first baseball game (Giants vs Mets) and the AT&T stadium was very easy to get to.
The check out process was simple and clear with our security deposit refunded on the day of check out.
A great first trip to San Francisco and this home was definitely the right decision for us. We'd have no hesitation in recommending it to our friends and family.
We have stayed at several condos throughout the world through VRBO and we LOVED this place. It is in the best location--- just one block to Ghirardehlli Square, one block to the trolley stop---- so convenient to everything. I would recommend this place without ANY hesitation. Loved our stay. Thanks!!!!!!
This is an absolutely perfect place to stay when visiting San Francisco. It is in an ideal location in Fisherman's Wharf. We took the cable car once(1 block from the house), just for fun, other then that we walked everywhere. We walked to the great restaurants in town for lunch and dinner each day, rented bikes (right around the corner from the house) and rode across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and then took the ferry back, went to Alcatraz, watched the Sea Lions at the Wharf, went to Ghiradelli (2 blocks from the house), walked to Lombard St....I could go on and on, but my point is it's a PERFECT location.
There were 4 of us staying in the house, but there is certainly plenty of room for more. 1 bedroom upstairs and 1 down. Full kitchen downstairs and a kitchenette upstairs. The washer and dryer was wonderful so we could cut down on the amount of clothes we brought. Everything was very clean upon our arrival. Everything was exactly as described in the write up.
I couldn't have asked for better communication between the owner, his assistant (sorry Norman, I don't know what your title is :)) and me. They kept me very well informed about everything. I felt very comfortable dealing with them and would not hesitate to rent this unit again and recommend it to friends and family.
What a lovely place to stay! Close to everything the city has to offer. We loved the comfort and peaceful atmosphere this home embodies. We will be staying here again in the future.
Perfect for our family of 5! Liked the upstairs and downstairs suites for when teenagers wanted to stay awake later than us! Very clean and well stocked with everything you need! Walking distance to a lot of San Fran top attractions! Would definitely rebook when we get back to this area! Thanks so much!
Trams less than a block away, the bus runs along the street but none of this is needed as you are so close to everything. We walked to Ghiradhelli square in three minutes, Fisshermans Wharf was a leisurely stroll and we even braved the hills and walked back from Market street and the shops in just on half an hour.
The apartment was easy to access, spotlessly clean and had everything you could need in terms of cooking, sleeping and washing. My children loved their space downstairs and having our own retreat upstairs was magnificent. The washer and dyer was a bonus and meant we didn't need to take all the extra clothes.
I would stay here again and would recommend this place without hesitation to families with children over 7 or bigger groups.
Such a great place!

Eau de dough, eh? 110 lucky Canadians get pizza perfume
DALLAS -- Oh, to be one of 110 select Canadians!
They'll find in their mailboxes a bottle of pizza-scented perfume before Christmas, courtesy of Pizza Hut Canada.
The Canadian subsidiary of the Dallas-based pizza chain selected the 110 from more than 1,000 responses to a social media-based promotional campaign. The promotion was to mark Pizza Hut Canada reaching 100,000 fans on its Facebook page.
Pizza Hut Canada marketing executive Beverly D'Cruz says they created just 110 bottles of Eau de Pizza Hut.
Put him on the naughty list: Surly Santa gets sacked
SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine -- A mall in Maine has fired Santa Claus after children and parents complained he was rude, grumpy and wouldn't even let one child sit on his lap.
Jessica Mailhiot and her 6-year-old daughter, Chantel, who went to see Santa last week, said he wouldn't let the girl sit on his lap when they said they didn't want a $20 photo.
Chantel said when she asked Santa for an American Girl doll, he replied she'd get an "American football."
All they want for Christmas is nearby home's demolition
PENN HILLS -- Residents of a Pittsburgh suburb have gift-wrapped something they hope will be gone by Christmas: a burned-out house that sits, abandoned and charred, on their street nine months later.
Resident Amy Davis said residents put a big red bow on the house that burned next door to hers in March, so Penn Hills officials will get moving on tearing it down. The residents said the house is an unsafe eyesore that they fear could harm property values.
Davis said gift-wrapping the house "was done in jest to bring light to a situation where there's no humor at all."
Thieves wanted money, got a chicken-salad sandwich
SCRANTON -- Two men robbed a Scranton man of his chicken-salad sandwich.
Police said the assailants approached a man and demanded money. When they found out he didn't have any cash, one punched him. They swiped his sandwich and took off. The victim wasn't hurt.

TDP, YSRC Activists Clash; 10 Injured
By PTI - HYDERABAD
Published: 01st January 2014 10:15 PM
Last Updated: 01st January 2014 10:15 PM
Tension gripped Addanki town in Prakasam district today after TDP and YSR Congress activists clashed, leaving atleast 10 persons, including a police constable, injured.
"Three platoons of Quick Response Teams were rushed to the town after the incident and the situation is under control," Prakasam district Superintendent of Police P Pramod Kumar said, adding efforts were underway to nab those involved in the clash.
The trouble started after YSR Congress workers waived the party flag when TDP workers were coming in a procession in the town. Workers from both the parties suddenly indulged in a verbal duel and tore apart flexi boards of respective parties, police said.
Subsequently, TDP workers allegedly pelted stones near the YSR Congress office, after which activists of both the parties began clashing, they said.
At least 10 persons from both the parties, including a constable, were injured during the clashes.
A large number of supporters from both the parties later held protests and counter protests and also blocked the Addanki-Narketpally road. Police intervened and dispersed the protesters.

In a speech, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester said it would be prudent to raise interest rates now, as she explained why she dissented from last week's decision to keep rates steady. "In the face of evidence that the economy is on track to meet our goals over the medium run, sometimes being prudent means moving the policy rate up," she said. Mester, one of 3 voters who wanted a quarter-point hike, said previous risks including the volatility in financial markets at the start of the year, economic weakness abroad, and the aftermath of the U.K. vote to leave the European Union, have subsided, and the economic expansion has proved to be resilient.
California Treasurer John Chiang said his office would stop doing some business with Wells Fargo & Co. over the bank's burgeoning sales scandal.

I expected all of the NFC East teams to be represented at Florida's pro day Wednesday, but it was a bit surprising to actually see Giants coach Tom Coughlin make an appearance to watch Tim Tebow. Here's the breakdown from ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
TebowApparently Tebow was good enough Wednesday to convince the NFL to invite him to New York for the draft next month. As we've seen, things can get a little awkward when players in attendance have to linger in the green room. And I haven't seen a single mock draft that has Tebow going in the first round. Perhaps Tebow will wait until Friday evening to stop by.
But back to the Giants. Why would Coughlin be in Gainesville, Fla., for a pro day when he has Eli Manning, the immortal Jim Sorgi and Rhett Bomar on the roster? Well, maybe he wanted to see that new delivery for himself. I think we're about to see Tebow come roaring up draft boards. It's not like the Giants are going to take him at No. 15, but I wouldn't rule them out of trying to land him on Friday of the draft. And don't think the presence of Rex Grossman in Washington will prevent Mike Shanahan from taking a long look at Tebow.

Ranking the most popular Christmas tales
For her doctoral dissertation in English, Northern Illinois University student Emily Kingery examined more than 100 anthologies from the beginning of the 19th century to the present to determine which stories were most popular.
Not surprisingly, Clement C. Moore's poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas" (31 appearances) and Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" (28) topped the list. But other popular choices might be less familiar to today's casual reading audience: Hans Christian Andersen's "The Fir-Tree" (24) finished third, William Dean Howells' "Christmas Every Day" (11) came in 10th, with Bret Harte's "How Santa Claus Came to Simpson's Bar" (10) right behind it. (Oh, how I wish that were Homer Simpson's bar.) »Read Full Blog Post

Soulstice Theatre delivers shimmering 'Memory of Water'
Coming from north by northwest, take I-794 to Howard Ave. Make two quick lefts and you've arrived at the St. Francis-based digs of Soulstice Theatre, home to a tiny, gutsy troupe which - when the stars align, as they often do - offers a night out that can rival much of what's available downtown, at half the price.
The constellation appearing on the Soulstice stage right now - in a production of Shelagh Stephenson's "The Memory of Water," under David Ferrie's direction - is definitely worth the trip. »Read Full Article
Next Act's 'Irma Vep' haunted by earlier version
In the second act of Charles Ludlam's madcap "The Mystery of Irma Vep," now on stage at Next Act Theatre, a frightened Lady Enid (a cross-dressed John McGivern) turns to housekeeper Jane Twisden (a cross-dressed Norman Moses) and pines for the protective presence of Nicodemus, her faithful manservant.
With the twitch of a smile and a twinkle in his eye, Moses' ordinarily prim Jane make clear that calling Nicodemus on stage just then simply isn't possible. »Read Full Article(1)

If you decide to hire a professional for decorating your house, make sure you understand what services you need. An interior decorator specializes in finding the right furnishings for your home, while an interior designer focuses more on the planning and functionality of furnishing a room. What also sets them apart is their knowledge. Decorators know about color swatches, furniture resources and creating your ideal room. Designers, on the other hand, take into consideration additional features like acoustics, lighting, temperature and so forth. Depending on what you want for your home, be sure to choose the design professional who matches your needs.
BudgetNo one likes sticking to a budget, but you need to have one. Agree on one ahead of time and make sure they stick to it. Research more than one in the area to see what their prices are. You don't want an interior designer or decorator who far exceeds your furnishings budget with their ideas rather than yours. Most homeowners report spending between $1,843 and $8,806 on home decorating and home designing services.
Mistakes that could cost you moneyNot researching your designer and checking them out thoroughly could put you in a bad situation. Be sure to verify their qualifications and previous work. Be clear about your expectations and have an understanding of what you want. Also having a proper contract or letter of agreement will make the difference in how your room turns out, either according to your wants or theirs.
Watch out for decorators who offer free services. These can actually be a manufacturer's representative that pushes certain products. Besides narrowing your options, you may pay more in the long run. A flat-fee decorator might look like a great bargain on the outset, but make sure that this person won't insist on acting as your exclusive buying agent. They may steer you toward products that are marked up or for which they get a commission. Always check prices you get from your decorator against retail.
Hiring an hourly professional might sound more expensive, but the per-hour arrangement lets you dissolve your relationship at any time and gives you more freedom and control. With a flat-fee decorator, you pay for the entire job, even if you part ways early on. A decorator might charge you to shop for samples (paint chips, plumbing fixtures, fabric samples, carpet squares) or do research. Keep that in mind when getting your bids.

The Interfaith Campaign for the Homeless announced more than $200,000 in allocations to agencies and ministries that assist the homeless in some capacity.
Twelve gifts totaling $203,525 ranged in size from $500 to $38,000. Money was raised through the annual Beans and Cornbread luncheon plus contributions from faith communities and individuals, then matched with $100,000 from the Don and Sybil Harrington Foundation.
Donors included 16 churches, one ministry, one temple, one agency that supplies help to the homeless, seven individuals and one business.
The Rev. Jeff Geske, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, which hosted the Friday breakfast where the allocations were announced, said care for the less fortunate reflects God's care for his people.
"It is in thanksgiving for all he (God) has done for us," Geske said.
Lynn Wilson is a board member for Another Chance House that provides transitional housing and affordable housing for men with addictions. Fifty-five men live in Another Chance House at a cost of $1,300 per resident per year, she said.
The $31,000 gift from Interfaith Campaign for the Homeless "means we are going to be able to continue services to help men get off the street and become contributing members of society again," Wilson said.

Tom Degan: In a move that is as transparent as it is outrageous, our Republicans representatives are so desperate to take back the White House and the senate in 2012, they are within twenty-six days of sending the American economy – along with the American people – into the abyss.
Stronger Words from the White House? Hold the Euphoria
Carl Bloice: The country really does need a deal right now; that's as in 'New Deal." There are a lot of people, groups and new movements out there proposing that we come up with one.
Manipulating Obama: Moving Left
Obama Not Likely to Call for Major Afghan Drawdown
Sherwood Ross: Outside of the White House, is it possible to find an American anywhere who believes that the presence of U.S. troops on the ground in Afghanistan is essential to our national security — particularly when we have some 800 bases around the world ready to deploy troops at the drop of a bomb?
How the Netroots Evolved
Paul Hogarth: Everyone from Howard Dean to Van Jones had the same message – that this political movement cannot be reliant on a charismatic leader, but instead on a charismatic network of activists.
Is Obama Violating the War Powers Act?
Marian Wang: Even supporters of the Libya intervention have complained that the administration is flouting the law.
Conference of Mayors May Vote Monday Vs. Wars
Sherwood Ross: The Conference, which speaks for 1,200 mayors, expresses the pain felt by city officials as urgent domestic needs have been long scuttled so that America's imperial presidents can wage wars in the Middle East to control the region's oil.
Republicans Giving Obama Re-Election Pass
Randy Shaw: An obvious fact: the Republican Party is content with trying to take back the Senate in 2012 and does not see the presidential race as its top priority.
This Jobs Crisis Is Obama's Kryptonite
David Love: Obama can solve this whole thing tomorrow if he just calls for a new New Deal program already. But will he have the courage? Time will tell, but the President, like this sad nation, is short on time.
Obama Needs Demand-Side Solutions
Robert Reich: Businesses are reluctant to spend more and create more jobs because there aren't enough consumers out there able and willing to buy what businesses have to sell.
Politics of Inaction: The Reality Behind the Jobless Stats
How Obama Can Revive Hopes for Change
Randy Shaw: In hindsight, activists should have taken it upon themselves to become the vessels of hope rather than trusting Barack Obama. But at this political moment, it is Obama who is best positioned to restore the hopes of his core supporters.
Secret CIA Wars Cost Billions
Sherwood Ross: It's been estimated the Iraq war, besides making that country pretty much unlivable, will flush $3 trillion in U.S. taxpayer dollars down the Pentagon drain.

The Mercantile Marine Department(MMD) on Tuesday submitted before the Kerala High Court that the Central government has constituted an Inter-Ministerial Group of Officers (IMGO) to address all issues related to the hijacking of merchant ships involving Indian seafarers and to monitor the progress of their release.
The group, headed by Additional Secretary and Financial Advisor to Ministry of Shipping, comprises representatives of the Ministry of External Affairs, Ministry of Home Affairs and the Cabinet Secretariat.
The MMD made the submissions on a petition filed by Shobha Krishnan of Mallappally, Pathanamthitta, seeking the release of her husband T B Unnikrishnan who was the second officer of the vessel MT Asphalt Venture, which was hijacked by Somalian pirates on September 28, 2010.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Roxbury, Contemporary Catskill Lodging
Thank God for The Roxbury Motel!!!
This was the best stay that we have ever had in the Catskills. Usually the area hotels are dated, dusty - something that has been caught in a timewarp. Not at the Roxbury Motel!!! Greg gave us a wonderful restaurant recommendation where we had dinner on our drive up from NYC. We opened the door to our studio and we were so happy with the clean interior and contemporary, modern decorations. There were two pieces of Godiva chocolates waiting for us and a welcome note. The pillowtop mattress was so comfortable so we slept well every night. Inside the room there is a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, internet hookup and a cute table for your laptop, enough hangers in the closet, and enough towels in the bathroom! Every morning we ate pastries and drank fresh ground coffee and sat on the porch to enjoy the views, the stream in the back, plus the nearby lounge chairs and tent. In the afternoon, there were cocktails. There was a DVD player in the room and they have over 300 DVDs that you can rent for free. There was a printed list in the room. Cecilia arranged for us to have massages in our room. We had such a relaxing and wonderful stay thanks to Greg, Joseph and Cecilia! We will definitely return soon!!!
Great contemporary renovation with so much attention to detail! The design was great - clean spacious rooms with everything you need.
But the best part was that everyone at the Roxbury is so warm and friendly! We came up here with no expectations and no idea what to do, where to eat, etc. The owners of this motel have thought of everything - they have restaurant recommendations (and even menus!) for the local places, a DVD library, maps of the area, golf discounts, and directions to hiking/swimming.
I would definitely return!
Book it
We have been going to the catskills for years to vacation, but housing has been the main problem in the past: expensive, uninspiring, or downright dirty and ugly. No more. I found the Roxbury on this site and we went there based on everyone's recommendation. We were very pleased. I wish we could have stayed one more day; it's monday morning and i am still pining for the memory of my weekend there.
The rooms are just as they describe, spic and span! Every thing is charming. The bathrooms are bright, clean, and have windows. The bathroom is all white/green tiles, and the mirror has little iridescent blue tiles bordering it. The shower has a little curve around the tub to give it more room. There is excellent water pressure. After a long day of skiing, I came back and took a long hot shower and it was the best, and then I fell onto the firm bed and watched a little movie before going to sleep. I am very picky about cleaniness, and this place was cleaner than my house!
My boyfriend liked the ultra modern decor. It's a little bit too masculine and dark for my taste but I enjoyed the creativity and innovation that went into the design by Greg. Think IKEA! Totally coordinated, bold and risk taking.
Did I already mention that the beds were very, very comfortable. The sheets were clean and crisp. I slept super well. We had the kitchenette room. The beds we had were a little bit small for a couple so we slept separately, but it was great sleeping experience nevertheless. The room was very warm on a cold winter day. I looked forward to going back to our room each night.
Joseph and Greg are the owners of the place. They can be found at the breakfast gatherings. The first thing they say to you is, (with a sincere smile) welcome, and my name is Joseph/Greg, and I am one of the owners. I felt like they were genuinely happy to be running this lodge, and they were happy to have us stay there. Wonderful folks. They are like people you would enjoy having as neighbors.
The entire establishment has little touches that show that art and fun-ness still exist in life. I enjoy the art in the main living room, alongside the little chocolates, nuts, candies, and candles displayed. Oh, and the general manager, who is a blond lady whose name I don't know is very helpful and friendly as well. You will feel like a VIP.
The only caveat I would say is that if you are very noise sensitive about sleeping, you may want to know that the motel is a renovated roadside motel which means that the SUVs of other guests park literally right outside the door of your room, which means that you will hear them. Also, sound insulation is not as solid as those concrete-high-rise hotels. You will hear your neighbor's TV and talking as we did, but giving the discerning clientel of the place, most people quiet down after midnight or so.
Lastly, there is no soda machine so if you got up in the middle of the night very thirsty, you'd better have some drinks with you.
Roxbury is far out. But you will be happy once you arrive in this charming little town. Everything is closed at night. Excellent.
Other than that, I have no reseveration to recommend you to lodge at the Roxbury. I wish Greg and Joseph will open more establishment and set a new standard for the Catskills region. I told them about the tripadvisor because they have no idea what great things we are saying about their motel on the internet!
Go to Brios in Phoenicia for great pizzas. Check out the little Phoenicia Trout Library. Bike to Elena Zang's house gallery. Take a rock climbing lesson at the Gunks. Wach a movie at the old fashioned movie in Woodstock or Rhinebeck. Ski. Golf. Trout fish. Ride a horse. Buy an old house and renovate it!
NYC meets The Roxbury
My boyfriend and I recently made a trip out to the Catskills and decided to stay at The Roxbury and boy were were pleased!!! The intimate atmosphere and friendly owners made our stay worthwhile. We totally recommend it to anyone who is looking for the retro-NYC apartment look.
Heaven On Earth
When our family visited the Catskills and The Roxbury Motel and returned with the news of their trip, it sounded to good to be true. So my wife and I decided to see for ourselves just how wonderful the Catskills-and the Roxbury Motel-were. This delightful motel nestled in the Catskills was absoulutely 'heaven on earth.' The room we stayed in was beautifully decorated...contemporary and colorful decor with soft lines and a spectacular view of the mountains filled the room! The bed we slept in was an absolute dream providing my wife and I with restful sleep all four nights we stayed. The owners of this magnificent place are first rate! They provided us with a warm welcome. They were friendly throughout our stay and help us locate some of the Catskills spectacular sites. They are wonderful ambassadors to Roxbury, NY and the Catskills. We enjoyed visiting the Catskills and The Roxbury Motel so much we are already planning another trip there. The Roxbury Motel was like no other place we have stayed in before...picturesque, serene, relaxing truly...'heaven on earth'.
Relax at the Roxbury
I have nothing but great things to say about the Roxbury Motel. I have been a guest twice and plan on coming again and again. The rooms are extremely well apointed and very comfortable (the beds are amazing -- GREAT night's sleep!). The grounds are well tended and charming, make sure you spend some time by the stream -- a lovely place to relax. The propriators immediately make you feel welcome and continue to do so your entire stay.
No stone goes unturned at the Roxbury Motel.
Once was not enough
We had such a pleasant stay at the Roxbury Motel, we came back the next weekend for more! Nestled in the Catskills, the Roxbury Motel stands out with its contemporary yet casual charm -- just like its owners Greg and Joseph. The place has just the right mix of country comfort and modern ammenities for a perfect and memorable experience in the Catskills!
The Roxbury-Country Cosmopolitan
If you're anything like me (God forbid!), then you're going to love staying at The Roxbury. My girlfriend and I love to hike and bike and also love just cruising around exploring the beautiful highways, by ways, and 'out of the ways' of The Catskills. We're not averse to staying at any number of hotels, motels and B&Bs,from shabby to sparkling, but our experience staying at the Roxbury was wonderful. (We came to stay for a night and ended up staying for 5! And we've gone back since.).
Greg and Joseph are incredibly gracious hosts. What they've created in the Catskills is unique. The rooms at The Roxbury, and the overall ambience of the property tie together the beauty of The Catskills with the fun,comfort and quirkiness of a boutique New York Hotel, without any of the unnecessary attitude.
Though The Roxbury isn't a B&B, or a hotel, Greg and Joseph have found a way to welcome thier guests without invading their privacy. If you need them they are there for you, if not you're on your own, and speaking as a New Yorker, sometimes getting away from people is paramount.
By the way- The beds are really comfortable.
Had the most wonderful time at The Roxbury Motel
My partner and I had the most wonderful time at The Roxbury Motel this past weekend. The room was delightful and beyond charming, our hosts were truly the "mostest" (gracious, completely welcoming, incredibly helpful, and truly lovely people), the location was heavenly, and the views were to die for (the fall foliage was breathtaking). I cannot recommend this motel enough...I've stayed in 5-star boutique hotels the world over and frankly this rated right up there in terms of comfort, charm and location. If you're looking for a wonderful hidden getaway, you won't be disappointed. We loved it so much, we're coming back in a few weekends from now!
Roxbury Surprise
My wife and I were absolutely blown away at our recent stay at The Roxbury. We have been going to this area for two or three night stays during the week (to keep the traffic and body count lower) for many years. Some friends told us they had seen The Roxbury on the web and suggested we check it out. In all the years of trying new and old places in the Catskills we have not experienced such a pleasant surprise. We expect to be disappointed - pictures better than reality. Not so in Roxbury, New York. Fabulous decorating. Perfectly clean. Really low prices for exciting rooms. Heavenly beds. Thank you Roxbury for producing what you promise. A refreshing surprise.

Very scenic drive through New York State, heading toward the Adirondacks - the trees are very green but with some fall colours just starting. The campsite is rustic and very quiet, not too busy.
Highlights: Downtown Corning, beautiful town with old buildings and pretty parks
Rest stops are labelled "Text Stops" - very clever!
Dog Friendly. Not.
Quick jaunt into Woodstock--"quick" being the operative word here. We found a supposedly dog-friendly spot online (Bringfido.com) but was told upon arrival that only service dogs were allowed.

In my article The Retina Display Rush, I debated how the race to meet Apple's (AAPL) retina display specs, now that Apple has extended its use to the new iPad, would probably lead to two consequences:
- The increased obsolescence of e-paper devices, and;
- The need for better mobile GPUs. This was met by Apple with the use of the A5X CPU, armed with a quad-core GPU, and will have to be followed by any competitors that choose to use higher-resolution displays.
Upon further reflection, and helped by an extraordinary Anandtech article reviewing the new iPad, I've also come upon two further insights:
- The new SoCs (Systems on Chip, including CPU and GPU) could likely have a much larger area, to accommodate further GPU power to process the much increased number of pixels in the display. This would entail a higher usage of silicon wafers, with possible positive - and much needed - consequences for companies such as MEMC Electronic Materials (WFR). Or;
- This will represent the need for further process node steps to miniaturize the chips further. Although this is ongoing in the semiconductor industry, the fact that the mobile chips are getting so large represents a powerful incentive to go to the next step as soon as possible. The A5X at 45nm process already has an area of 163mm2 - larger than some Intel Sandy Bridge SoCs. I recommend reading this particular page on Anantech's article. The increased need to go to the next process node, especially on such a high-volume industry as smartphones and tablets, should present the need for increased investment in more advanced semiconductor production equipment, with vast implications for that industry - including its heavyweights Applied Materials (AMAT), Novellus Systems (NVLS-OLD) and KLA-Tencor (KLAC).
The adoption of retina display in tablets by Apple, and the rush by its competitors to meet those same specs, will imply the need for much more powerful GPUs on mobile devices. These much more powerful GPUs will imply SoCs with either have much larger areas or alternatively, be done at smaller process nodes. Larger areas imply more silicon wafer usage, whereas smaller process nodes will imply higher investment in more advanced semiconductor production equipment.
I believe that to shorten time to market, the first reaction will be towards larger silicon areas much like Apple did, followed by a push towards smaller process nodes, with the investment needed to make this push - starting right now. The trend towards larger silicon areas might not be useful if negated by the present solar sector implosion (due to reduced subsidization in many countries), so only the trend towards higher (cyclical) investment in semiconductor equipment might be useful in terms of being a tradable long idea.
