Im sure that many of you readers out there believe the number one way to become a happier Singaporean is to vote for the correct political party in 2016.
Regardless of your political views, this article isnt about politics or about what the government can do to make you happy.
Its about what you can do to make yourself happy.
Let me start by asking you a few questions:
Are you unhappy about your job?
Are you dissatisfied with the public transportation system?
Are you frustrated by the high cost of living?
You probably answered yes to at least one of those questions.
It seems like we have plenty of reasons to be unhappy. According to this recent report, were the unhappiest people in the world.
(Were even more unhappy than people living in Iraq and Afghanistan. I find that unbelievable!)
Many people think theyll be happy when they have the 5 Cs: cash, car, credit card, condominium, and country club.
The new 5 Cs that we should all be chasing after
But, on their own, these 5 Cs wont bring you long-term happiness.
Id like to introduce you to the 5 Cs that will:
1. Compare less
The more we compare ourselves with others, the unhappier we become. There will always be someone who is:
Smarter than you
Richer than you
Luckier than you
Better-looking than you
More popular than you
More charismatic than you
More accomplished than you
You dont benefit from comparing yourself with these people. The only person you should compare yourself with is you.
Are you wiser than you were a year ago? Kinder? More generous? More courageous?
If your answer is no, then its time to reflect and to commit to making real changes in your life.
2. Cherish what you have
Every expert on happiness will tell you that grateful people are happy people.
Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, in her book The How of Happiness, describes from a scientific perspective why counting your blessings makes you happier.
Following Dr. Lyubomirskys advice, we should write down at least one thing were grateful for every day. Thats sure to make us happier.
By expressing gratitude, were not denying that some things in life arent ideal. Were simply acknowledging that, in many ways, were blessed.
We can all become happier by making a conscious effort to cherish what we have: family, friends, religious freedom, food to eat, a safe country to live in.
3. Choose your attitude
Ive heard a saying that goes, Your attitude determines your altitude.
Cheesy but true? I think so.
You cant always choose your circumstances, but you can always choose your attitude.
Your boss gave you a difficult assignment? You can either see it as a problem or as a challenging opportunity.
Your project didnt get off to a good start? You can either see it as a stumbling block or as a stepping-stone to future success.
Attitude is a choice, just like happiness is a choice.
4. Complain less
Complainits something we all do. But whenever we complain, without also proposing an alternative, were being irresponsible.
Some people believe that its the citizens job to complain and the governments job to provide solutions.
But this isnt the right attitude. As a responsible citizen, if we oppose government policy, then we should also take the initiative to suggest a viable solution.
When were whining, nobodys winning. So lets complain less.
5. Change your circumstances and yourself
When things dont go your way, its easy to feel frustrated, helpless or confused.
Any time you feel this way, ask yourself:
What is one thing I can do right now to improve the situation?
This is an empowering question, because it makes you realize that theres always something productive you can do.
You just need to focus on the one action you can take immediately.
If youre unhappy about your relationship with your boss, schedule a conversation with him or her.
If youre unhappy about your salary, improve your skills, enroll in a course, find a mentor, or negotiate a pay increase. You could even start a business on the side.
Theres an endless list of things you could do to make your life better. If youre not willing to do anything on that list, then you shouldnt complain.
Instead of complaining, take action.
In closing
Happiness isnt just an emotion. Its a choicea daily one.
Finding real happiness takes dedication and determination, so its not for the fainthearted.
Its time to embrace the new 5 Cs.
Its time to build a happier life and a happier Singapore.
Its time to get to work.

Board trims redistricting options to two, for now
By Tom Lappas, Citizen Editor 11/18/12
And then there were two. Probably.
The Henrico County School Board earlier this month eliminated from consideration one of three redistricting options created by a committee of citizens for the new Kaechele Elementary School in Short Pump. The board agreed that Option 3 (Revised Option F) would have too significant a domino effect, shifting too many students at other elementary schools and potentially costing the system Title I funding at Ridge Elementary School.
But the board also directed the school system's planning staff members to review the two remaining plans and consider tweaking them or creating a hybrid option of those two if possible. The board is scheduled to hold a public hearing to receive more feedback from the community during its Dec. 6 meeting at Hermitage High School, beginning at 6 p.m.
During its Nov. 8 work session, the board heard from its redistricting committee, which met 11 times during a two-month period to create the three options and also presented drafts during two public meetings to receive citizen feedback.
The majority of committee members favored Option 2 (Revised Option E), which would move about 36 percent more students than Option 1 (Revised Option A) among the affected elementary schools but would present the best set of compromises to all involved communities, according to redistricting committee vice chairwoman Alice Ann Howard. That map also would do the best job creating boundaries by major roads and geographical landmarks and would not change middle or high school feeder patterns.
Option 1 would provide the best enrollment balance across all elementary schools affected by the redistricting and would ensure that none of those schools were over capacity through 2016, redistricting committee chairman Bill Panak said. But it also would require a few irregular boundaries and would mean that not every community would receive a preferred option. It also would change feeder patterns for 333 students.
In addition to setting boundaries for Kaechele Elementary, the committee was tasked with providing relief for other nearby schools forecasted to exceed their capacity soon and to provide relief for those at or above 95 percent capacity currently. The committee considered the boundaries of 12 elementary schools when creating its maps.
Several School Board members expressed a desire to use West Broad Street as a dividing line between elementary school zones – ensuring that schools north of the road drew only from communities to the north, while schools to the south drew only from the south. Committee members said they had the same desires but were unable to make them a reality without involving even more schools in the process.
"We ran out of room," Howard said of the committee's attempts to use the road as a north-south boundary.
Still, School Board Chairwoman Diana Winston directed planning staff members to take another look and determine if that goal still might be accomplished.
Howard conceded that all three options underutilized Three Chopt Elementary, which is comfortably under capacity. But, she said, moving other students into the school's zone would have required shifting boundaries of schools beyond the 12 originally under consideration.
Map 3 would have moved 160 low-income students from Ridge Elementary to Pinchbeck, likely threatening Ridge's designation as a Title I school. Title I is a federal designation that provides extra funding to schools with a certain percentage of low-income students. Ridge would fall below that threshold with the move, while Pinchbeck would not quite reach it even with the addition of those students, Deputy Superintendent Pat Kinlaw said.
Once the board adopts new boundaries, rising fourth- and fifth-graders at any of the affected schools will be able to remain at their current schools if they choose. Students who move to the district to begin fourth or fifth grade, however, must attend the school designated by the new boundaries.

The Cambridge Christian baseball team won the Bay Conference championship in rare form Thursday afternoon.
Lancers pitcher Derek Self tossed a 5-inning no hitter as Cambridge won the conference title 14-0.
"He mixed his pitches up real well," Cambridge coach Rick Shears said. "He had some great off-speed stuff to complement his fastball. Shorecrest is a pretty good team too. It's awesome. That's all I can say."
Self struck out four and issues three walks in the win. It's the third no hitter a Lancer pitcher has tossed, following Peter Miller and Logan McDougal.
The Lancers (18-4) head into next week's Class A-9 district tournament as the top seed. But first, they've added a game with Tampa Catholic tomorrow at 4 p.m. at TC.

Judging by his outfit (and less foppish hairstyle) this is the eighth Doctor in his later years, as seen in 50th anniversary prequel The Night of the Doctor, and was most likely taken during filming on The Day of the Doctor. McGann's seven-minute episode prompted calls from many fans for an entire prequel series following McGann's incarnation. Is this a teaser that it might actually be happening?

Oil has a better lubricant to keep the friction at its low so that a smoothness of components may retain for long. Given that I'm thinking this I at least in part join with this doctrine. That will be a long abandoned blueprint that I tried here. Been there, done that. Some ask if performance bike promo code has been lab tested. While these components are in run there is a lot of friction and heat gets produced by this process. What a true freedom of riding it feels only can be experienced by running it. Performance bike promo code has enduring stability.

Nick's Fishing Tip of the Week: Kingfish Rig
Posted By Nick Honachefsky On August 26, 2012 @ 4:55 pm In News - Saltwater Fishing | No Comments
It's time to get your kingfishing on! Rig up with a hi-lo pill float rig fixed with #8 Gamakatsu circle hooks, and lance on lime green or chartreuse Fishbites cut in ¼ inch strips. Kings seem to be biting on all tides, but generally a low to incoming tide is a good bet. Cast one rod into the near slough, and another out past the sandbars as well to see where the bulk of the fish are feeding, then target all your casts to the better biting spot accordingly.

Ten bucks says you can guess within seconds which news station this GOPer watches. Texas State Rep. Dwayne Bohac (Big-R) is having a political hissy fit over the mythical War On Christmas, so much so that instead of legislating something of value, he's presenting his voters with a bill titled the, "Merry Christmas Bill."
"If I hear it referred to one more time as a holiday tree or a holiday party, I'm going to throw up," Bohac told Fox News. "I'm taking these rulings by the Supreme Court and codifying them in a state law to give teachers and administrators a safe harbor to point to when drafting their policies regarding winter celebrations," Bohac added
Instead of legislating something significant, such as, oh I dunno — on the economy, gun laws, helping the poor, the lacking education system in Texas and a host of other more relevant issues, the Republican lawmaker from Houston has introduced legislation to protect traditional Christmas greetings, decorations and displays in public schools.
"I think it's sad that I have to file a bill like this," Bohac told Fox News. "But because of the censorship going on in our public schools and the fear of litigation teachers live with – I'm trying to provide a measure of protection."
According to the Texas Tribune, the idea for the bill came after Bohac heard from his first-grade son last year that his class had decorated a 'holiday tree' with 'holiday ornaments.' OMFG! A holiday tree. That certainly deserves prompt action from our already dysfunctional Congress. It's more than likely that the tree in question was deemed a Holiday Tree in order to be inclusive. But, we can't have that in Texas now, can we?
As for this supposed battle in which no legislation has been drafted to remove Christmas, Bill O'Reilly the propagator of this imaginary war has covered the "War On Christmas" more than three times as much as actual conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and Gaza.
As a Christian from the left, I wish all of our readers a Happy Holiday this year and all the years to come — unless the Zombie Apocalypse hits us on Friday.
If that occurs, never mind.

I recently traded my 2004 SRX N* for a new 2012 SRX Luxury. The '04, which I purchased new, was a great car but suffered many of the first-year problems. The 2012 is, of course, a very different vehicle; it fits our needs very well, and the GM incentives made it difficult to pass up.
However, the vehicle was on the dealer's lot, in new car inventory, for 8 months. It had only 10 miles on it when purchased. I was concerned about tire "lot rot" and sure enough, once driven at highway speeds above 70 mph, the vibration started. The local Cadillac dealer force balanced the tires, but the two rears could not be brought within specs; they were replaced with two new tires. The fronts were said to be well within specs. Now, I still get a shimmy above 70 mph, especially at 75-77. It is not as bad as before, but is definitely there. The dealer tells me that this is "normal" for the second generation SRX. (Anyone heard that before?)
Thus my question.....do any other 2010-2013 owners have such a vibration or shimmy above 70 mph?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated!!!

An interesting news story emerged this week that received little attention: next generation PS4 and Xbox One consoles may not arrive until 2014. There was no backlash, no angry complaints, no rushed company statements. Yes tech doesn't always have to evolve at the speed of light to stay relevant…
The news story came from gaming website Kotaku. "Both MS and Sony are telegraphing to each other that they're delaying, to milk the current [generation] and fill in previous craters better," said Kotaku's source. This was backed up by 'other sources with access to first-party companies' who also disclosed 2014 to be the target date, though some believe it could be late 2013 "if their company feels pushed".
Taken at face value this news could annoy. Microsoft launched the Xbox 360 in 2005, a year when 'Million Dollar Baby' won best picture at the Oscars (It should have been 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'), the PSP had just hit the market, Windows Mobile 5 was the cutting edge smartphone platform of choice and the Guitar Hero franchise was unleashed upon the world. Sony launched the PS3 in 2006 when 'Crash' took the Oscar nod, Facebook launched outside the college community and everyone thought this was an iPhone.
Since then both consoles have sold over 50m units and the technology sector has changed radically. So why do Microsoft and Sony think they can get away with still selling the same old hardware? In short: because they can.
Consoles are virtually alone in giving the technology sector the one thing it craves: consistency. In an industry where gadgets are outdated within months of hitting the market, buying a games console guarantees years of relevance. It provides peace of mind.
Equally important is it gives games developers' discipline. Hardware is locked down so code has to be rigorously optimised. There's no option to tell console owners to buy a better graphics card or increase their RAM. Consequently even now the limits of both the PS3 and Xbox keep being stretched and tech demos like the one above still blow the mind.
Likewise all this hard effort is rewarded. Every games console is eventually hacked, but the proportion of pirated games is so low it is dragging developers from the more powerful - seemingly premium - PC market and relegating it to something of an also ran.
Furthermore while it is true Microsoft and Sony haven't improved the power of either machine in six years (they can't, that is the point), they have continuously evolved them. Both have had redesigns that shrunk their dimensions and made them run cooler and quieter and these changes came combined with price cuts. This is no mean feat considering consoles take years before they reach profitability. The PS3 initially lost Sony $307 per unit.

I'm having Botox done this Thursday, May 7 and I have an appointment to have permanent eyeliner done on May 9, Saturday. I get botox on my forehead, between my eyes and my crows feet. Since they don't give you botox injections in the area that permanent eyeliner would be applied, I figure it will be fine, but I wanted to make sure.
I don't want to hurt the effects of my botox or the permanent eyeliner. Can someone here answer this question? Thank you!

The Room-Mating Season
by Rona Jaffe
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I like the domestic, real-life touches in books like these (I've read several of this author's books over the years), but I had a hard time liking any of the three main female characters, particularly two of them. One was obsessive and a little crazy, and the other was a huge hypocrite -- she had many, many affairs but then got upset when her husband had one, because he did it in their hometown while her dozens of flings were in another city. Maybe it makes a big difference in her mind, but in my mind, that's just her deluding herself. Even the nicest of the three characters occasionally talks about men cheating, but she was the "other woman" too before her lover left his wife to marry her. Plus some of the male characters, and almost all of the children these women eventually have, are cardboard characters. I'm not sure, looking back, that I like a single character in this book.
We also follow these women well into their sixties, and their lovers and husbands into their seventies and eighties, and not a single one of them has a serious health issue.
Finally, it bugs me that Rona Jaffe treats plastic surgery so casually. I don't want to judge people who go that route, but Jaffe writes every one of her female characters as just assuming every woman naturally has plastic surgery.
on Saturday, April 16, 2005 I wrote on bookcrossing about this book:
Hi sandy Right now reading this book, have read about 2/3rd of it and enjoying the read. This book is much more like some of her older books, for instance like reunion and stuff. venus envy is more chick lit from the twenties :-) from this century.
I do not think this is one of her best books, but definitely a great read.
will update more when i am done.
Oops forgot to update
yes i can see your point sand. The women were a lot alike. It was a bit boring. i don't understand why they were all dating older men. I do not believe that is very logic. 4 girls live together and 3 of them end up with an older men.
I have read better books by Rona.
This sounds like a take off of The Group but the Amazon reviewer really pan it, in spite of the author's reputation.

For four young women, brought together by the impossibly small Upper East Side town house they share, it is a time of possibilities, of things to come. A time of newfound freedom, of careers their mothers never considered, of imagining lovers into husbands and families of their own.
Leigh, Cody, Vanessa and Susan. Although their dreams are different, they share secrets and fears, high spirits and higher hopes. But as the world around them changes, the decisions they make in that fateful year are challenged. Each on her own path, they will learn that friendship can shift in unexpected ways, that love is more complex than they imagined and that happiness is sometimes found where they least expect it.

Carson was just 5 of 18 shooting, 1 of 6 on 3s, but made the two biggest baskets in a slow-paced contest that saw neither team lead by more than six points. Carrick Felix had 17 points and 16 rebounds, Carson scored 15 and Jordan Bachynski had 14 points for the Sun Devils (12-2). Jason Washburn had 19 points and a career-high 18 rebounds for the Utes (8-5). Jarred DuBois added 12 points, including a 3-pointer that put Utah up 54-53 with 39 seconds to play.

AP did not note Heartland Institute's ties to energy industry
The AP reported that Heartland Institute publisher Dan Williams "said Heartland is skeptical about the crisis that people are proclaiming in global warming" and that former Sen. Harrison Schmitt "said he's heartened that the upcoming [Heartland] conference is made up of scientists who haven't been manipulated by politics." But at no point in the article did the AP note that Heartland receives funding from the fossil fuels industry. Moreover, the AP uncritically reported that Schmitt "said ... the rise in carbon dioxide is because of the temperature rise," echoing a claim widely disputed by scientists.
Reporting on former Sen. Harrison Schmitt (R-NM)'s scheduled appearance at the Heartland Institute [1]'s 2009 International Conference on Climate Change [2] (ICCC) next month, in a February 15 article [3], the Associated Press reported that Heartland Institute publisher Dan Williams "said Heartland is skeptical about the crisis that people are proclaiming in global warming." The AP also reported that Schmitt, who "doesn't believe that humans are causing global warming," "said he's heartened that the upcoming conference is made up of scientists who haven't been manipulated by politics." But at no point in the article did the AP note that Heartland receives funding [4] from the fossil fuels industry. Moreover, the AP uncritically reported that Schmitt "said ... the rise in carbon dioxide is because of the temperature rise," echoing a claim widely disputed [5] by scientists regarding the cause-and-effect relationship between carbon dioxide levels and global temperatures.
Heartland's website states [6]:
Heartland reported income and spending of $5.2 million and a full-time staff of 25 in 2007. Funding comes from approximately 2,700 individuals, foundations, and corporations.
Heartland's donor base has always been diverse. All energy companies combined -- oil, coal, natural gas, and utilities -- gave less than 5 percent of its budget in 2007 and probably will in 2008. About 16 percent of its budget comes from corporations, with the rest from foundations and individuals.
For example, as Media Matters for America has [4] noted [7], ExxonMobil Corp. reported [8] that it, its divisions and affiliates, and its foundation contributed $115,000 to Heartland in 2006, including $90,000 specifically for [9] "General Operating Support -- Climate Change."
In addition, Schmitt's claim, as reported by the AP, that "the rise in carbon dioxide is because of the temperature rise," echoes a similar assertion made by Tim Ball, the chairman of the Natural Resources Stewardship Project [10], on the May 2, 2007, edition [11] of CNN Headline News' Glenn Beck. Ball said of the "cause-and-effect relationship of CO2 and temperature," "The scientific literature is fairly clear, fairly uniform. Temperatures go up; then, CO2 concentrations go up. CO2 does not drive temperature." But as Media Matters has noted [5], climate experts and scientific organizations offer a different assessment of the relationship between temperature and CO2, namely that, in the words of the Met Office [12] -- the United Kingdom's national weather service -- "[h]uman-induced increases in CO2 are driving the greenhouse effect and amplifying the recent warming." The Met Office states [13]:
Climate Change - Fact 3
The current climate change is not just part of a natural cycle
Earth's climate is complex and influenced by many things, particularly changes in its orbit, volcanic eruptions, and changes in the energy emitted from the Sun. It is well known that the world has experienced warm or cold periods in the past without any interference from humans. The ice ages are good examples of global changes to the climate, and warm periods have seen grapes grown across much of Britain.
Over the several hundred thousand years covered by the ice core record, the temperature changes were primarily driven by changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Over this period, changes in temperature did drive changes in carbon dioxide (CO2). Since the Industrial Revolution (over the last 100 years), CO2 concentrations have increased by 30% due because to human-induced emissions from fossil fuels.
The bottom line is that temperature and CO2 concentrations are linked. In recent ice ages, natural changes in the climate, such as those due to orbit changes, led to cooling of the climate system. This caused a fall in CO2 concentrations which weakened the greenhouse effect and amplified the cooling. Now the link between temperature and CO2 is working in the opposite direction. Human-induced increases in CO2 are driving the greenhouse effect and amplifying the recent warming. [emphasis added]
Similarly, in a February 2007 article [14], Paul Fraser, chief research scientist at Australia's CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research [15], wrote:
The panel concludes there is very high confidence that the warming is due to human activities, which are likely to have been at least five times greater than the impact of solar irradiance changes on global warming. In fact, they conclude that there is a greater than 90 per cent chance that temperatures are rising due to human activities.
These conclusions, supported by many hundreds of climate experts around the world, contradict Dr [Len] Walker's implication [16] that increasing carbon dioxide levels do not cause global temperature increases, which he makes in his statement, "The fact is the Earth has cooled since 1998 ... despite ... increasing carbon dioxide levels.
Fraser added:
There have been numerous research papers and reviews published over the past 10 years, including several in prestigious journals such as Nature and Science, that conclude that the observed temperature changes over the past 100 years are consistent with the combined changes in atmospheric aerosols (volcanic and anthropogenic), land surface changes, variations in solar irradiance and increases in greenhouse gases. As a researcher in the field for more than 30 years, I am not aware of a single peer-reviewed paper or review, in a quality atmospheric science journal, that relates the temperature changes over this period to only natural causes such as changes in solar activity.
The fact that, in the long history of the atmosphere, temperature increases sometimes precede carbon dioxide increases simply implies that those temperature change are due to some factor, or factors, other than carbon dioxide increases; for example from changes in the Earth's orbit. This in no way precludes an imposed carbon dioxide increase (such as the current rapid increase from the combustion of fossil fuels) leading to an increase in global temperatures.
Eric Steig [17], an isotope geochemist at the University of Washington in Seattle, similarly argued in a post [18] on the Real Climate blog:
On historical timescales, CO2 has definitely led, not lagged, temperature. But in any case, it doesn't really matter for the problem at hand (global warming). We know why CO2 is increasing now, and the direct radiative effects of CO2 on climate have been known for more than 100 years. In the absence of human intervention CO2 does rise and fall over time, due to exchanges of carbon among the biosphere, atmosphere, and ocean and, on the very longest timescales, the lithosphere (i.e. rocks, oil reservoirs, coal, carbonate rocks). The rates of those exchanges are now being completely overwhelmed by the rate at which we are extracting carbon from the latter set of reservoirs and converting it to atmospheric CO2. No discovery made with ice cores is going to change those basic facts.
[I]t is not as if the temperature increase has already ended when CO2 starts to rise. Rather, they go very much hand in hand, with the temperature continuing to rise as the CO2 goes up. In other words, CO2 acts as an amplifier, just as Lorius, Hansen and colleagues suggested.
From the February 15 Associated Press article:
Of the global warming debate, he said: "It's one of the few times you've seen a sizable portion of scientists who ought to be objective take a political position and it's coloring their objectivity."
Former astronaut Harrison Schmitt, who walked on the moon and once served New Mexico in the U.S. Senate, doesn't believe that humans are causing global warming.
"I don't think the human effect is significant compared to the natural effect," said Schmitt, who is among 70 skeptics scheduled to speak next month at the International Conference on Climate Change in New York.
Schmitt contends that scientists "are being intimidated" if they disagree with the idea that burning fossil fuels has increased carbon dioxide levels, temperatures and sea levels.
"They've seen too many of their colleagues lose grant funding when they haven't gone along with the so-called political consensus that we're in a human-caused global warming," Schmitt said.
Dan Williams, publisher with the Chicago-based Heartland Institute, which is hosting the climate change conference, said he invited Schmitt after reading about his resignation from The Planetary Society, a nonprofit dedicated to space exploration.
Schmitt resigned after the group blamed global warming on human activity. In his resignation letter, the 74-year-old geologist argued that the "global warming scare is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making."
Williams said Heartland is skeptical about the crisis that people are proclaiming in global warming.
"Not that the planet hasn't warmed. We know it has or we'd all still be in the Ice Age," he said. "But it has not reached a crisis proportion and, even among us skeptics, there's disagreement about how much man has been responsible for that warming."
Schmitt said historical documents indicate average temperatures have risen by 1 degree per century since around 1400 A.D., and the rise in carbon dioxide is because of the temperature rise.
Schmitt also said geological evidence indicates changes in sea level have been going on for thousands of years. He said smaller changes are related to changes in the elevation of land masses -- for example, the Great Lakes are rising because the earth's crust is rebounding from being depressed by glaciers.
Schmitt, who grew up in Silver City and now lives in Albuquerque, has a science degree from the California Institute of Technology. He also studied geology at the University of Oslo in Norway and took a doctorate in geology from Harvard University in 1964.
In 1972, he was one of the last men to walk on the moon as part of the Apollo 17 mission.
Schmitt said he's heartened that the upcoming conference is made up of scientists who haven't been manipulated by politics.

84 GTI (Sold)
03 24v turbo (sold)
a much as I will get hate on for this, a Buell Blast makes a good starter bike. Cheap, easy to find parts, easy to work on.
When she is ready to upgrade to something quicker, can turn around and sell the Buell for near the same price you paid.
I have to laugh when someone calls me an a*****e. I've been called far worse than that.
- Gordon Ramsay
I, personally, don't have an issue with the Blast or any other faring-less bikes, she just loves the look of a faring'd sport bike, so I'm against a wall on that one.
I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. ~Frank Sinatra
My wife's first bike was a monster. She loved it. It would be a perfect bike to start with.
I have 3 friends with Monsters from various generations. I had her sit on one and it was just too big/heavy for her. Again, she's a toothpic and "feeling safe" is the first thing you want a newbie to feel and she simply didn't feel safe on one. Same with the touring bikes, just too big and heavy for her.
I'm sure after a summer with a 250 I can convince her to step up, but maybe she never will. What she does, it's her decision.
I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. ~Frank Sinatra
if you want the looks of a sportbike...
I wouldn't be as concerned with outgrowing a 250, so much as "outclimbing" one. I assume that there's a lot of good mountain roads in OR. A bike that makes about 20 HP at sea level would be quite a dog at 7,000 ft. I think a non-supersport 650 (SV, Monster, Ninja) would be a better choice. Since she's fairly tall, a 400 supermoto wouldn't be out of the question either, especially if it's lowered.
She often rides with me on the R1 and is still scared when I accelerate. It doesn't help that we live next to a neighborhood full of 'vettes and even a Gallardo, all of which like to play on the backroads near our homes. Of course, a vet wanted to play while she was on the back and I tapped her hands (which means "hold on") and I think she still pee's herself a little, even in straight-line acceleration. She's still in the habit of pressing her head next to mine (so I'm all sideways cockeyed) instead of trusting me and riding in-line, I'm trying to break her of that. BUT, it does mean she's very interested in controlling the situation by wanting to watch what's in front so bad. Still, she can't see herself on a bike nearly that powerful or even midsize sportbike (she hated my Gixxer750 and 929rr too). The other bikes that are a lot safer (the sv, gs'es, older sport bikes, etc.) she simply HATES the design of. I can't fault her for that, I'm the same way. Half my love affair of my bikes are the looks, the other half is performance.
She actually road one of my buddies Monsters (2004'ish?) around the block and when she stopped we had to keep her from falling over, she's seriously new to this stuff. And we all know what the typical dump is... low speed, in a parking lot, etc. etc. She's going to dump whatever she gets, but I'd rather it be a small, used 250 than a heavier bike that she'd have even less control over. One other problem with the Monsters (and similar) is that there is even less wind cover... your faceguard becomes the windshield - streetfighters are definitely a no-go for her. Even most sport bikes allow you to get out of the wind with a good tuck.

Naked bikes also a lot less plastic to replace. If you want a small cc bike why not a NRS.

Your gf needs to understand that learning first on a cheaper, less beautiful-looking bike, will eventually lead to the experience of handling the higher end cc bikes (translate to much more beautiful looking). Put up with a used SV650s or some other used bike for a year or 2 and then move up to a bike in which she ideally wants. This way, when she does drop it, she could care less if there was a scratch or a crack on a fairing piece. You have an R1 so you know how dang expensive just a plastic piece is. Also, don't start her off on a Ducati...has she seen maintenance prices and even parts prices?

text: Another fun 82games.com stat... Rodney has 21 And1's on the season. That's tied for 15th in the league overall despite the limited playing time for the first 14 games of the season. The only non-big men that are ahead of him: Lebron, Wade, Devin Harris, and Paul Pierce. (He has 1 less than Pierce). He's got more than Kobe, Chris Paul, AI, even bigs like KG, Dirk, Gasol, etc. (ahem, Chauncey has 8). Also note worthy that Stuckey shoots 44.8% on 2 point jumpshots (layups not included). 2nd best on the Pistons is Sheed @ 42.9%. FYI, Chauncey is shooting 39% on those.

But seriously here is a poll 100 person poll by nymag.com:
My prediction is that New York's Bike Share program will expand to far more than 10,000 bikes in the next 5 years, as the number of members, (As of June 6th over 30,000) that have already signed up show huge support!
Public Bike Share is simply just a healthy option to driving your car for those short trips, of which 62% are less than 5 miles.
In terms of size, ridership, and financial viability—is in Washington, D.C. How
did D.C. accomplish this unlikely task?
Miami Beach: Paid for by Deco Bike
Washington DC: Paid for by US tax payers
Miami Beach: 2,153,350
Washington DC: 1,851,857
Miami Beach: 600,000+
Washington DC: 270,000
Miami Beach: 100 Stations
Washington DC: 189 Stations
After the second try at a bike share solution, Washington DC has done a great job building and implementing Capital Bike Share. Deco Bike in Miami – second best bike share system in the United States?
New York City with 10,000 bikes and a sponsor of 30+ million dollars will be taking the crown away from Washington.
Please state your feed back in the form below:
Just finished reading this article by Janet Larson:
I was blown away by the accuracy of her article and the current state of the fastest growing mode of public transportation – EVER!
There are a few notes that I would like to add:
1. The City of Toronto is complaining about the overhead and operational costs of their public bike share solution – this does not bode well for the "smart dock" technology despite the great membership program. Suggestions that the transit commission take over the operations may change the way public bike share is deployed in North America.
2. Phoenix will be moving forward with a "smart bike" technology with a twist – walk up users will also be able to use their credit card at a SandVault "PayStation".
3. The City of Austin and the City of Cincinnati, are both deciding on how to proceed with their Public Bike Share program.
4. Boise and Norfolk have gone through an RFI process and will be going to an RFP process.
5. Hamilton will be going to RFP process in the summer of 2013.
Exciting times are ahead for Public Bike Share! If you would like to add more to my rant – please send me an e-mail at email@example.com, of fill out the form below:
Not all cities have to deal with flooding, however this is something to consider for some locations.
There is a method to the design by the SandVault Group!
Public Bike Share is very popular! NYC – Citi Bike hits 5000 founding members in 30 hours – the system scheduled to launch next month will be off to a flying start! With 10,000 bikes and 600 stations it is anticipated to be the largest Bike Share in North America. The cool thing is that it will expand from there!!
Miami Beach and Washington DC are having record breaking months!
Here is an article that proves it – http://www.theatlanticcities.com/commute/2013/02/if-you-build-bike-share-riders-will-come/4673/ , but wait there is more proof.
In a recent RFP from the City of Boston, it states that PUBLIC BIKE SHARE has increased bicycle ridership in the City of Boston by 80% over ridership in 2007 – 80%!!!
The increase in ridership in Miami Beach and Washington DC must be off the charts!
2012 marked a record-breaking year for DecoBike LLC's Miami Beach bike sharing program with the country's highest increase in ridership. With 1,290,606 rides logged in 2012 alone, it's the busiest fleet per-bike of any US bikeshare program and represents more than a 100% increase in ridership from 2011. The program is a true leader with nearly 2 million total trips logged– more usage than all other US bike share programs combined, with the exception of Washington DC's government-owned Capital Bikeshare.
2013 rings in DecoBike's scheduled expansion into a variety of new territories including the city of San Diego and other areas of Miami-Dade County, adding an estimated 240 new stations and 2,400 DecoBikes into the streets with other new programs to be announced in the coming months.
This is a great article on the Helmet law and the experience that Australian cities have had.
This is worth the read!
On a quick note, Vancouver has been going through multiple demonstrations to define its integrated helmet strategy – new post to follow!

The ACPI team have produced a series of short workbooks to support planting teams—planning frameworks; common pitfalls and a twin set of Evangelism booklets shifting from the latest favourite method to understanding an integrated evangelism strategy.
This third booklet in the ACPI Workbook series for resourcing church planting and fresh expressions of church, seeks to explore some of the biggest issues that have arisen over the years from mistakes or problems in church planting.
By learning from these areas of weakness and hard experience of the past, we can move forwards in greater strength to see new churches and fresh expressions planted and the growing movement of mission in the church developed.
This fourth booklet in the ACPI Workbook series for resourcing church planting and fresh expressions of church, highlights the importance for a continued priority for planning and strategic frameworks in the engaged and emerging church.
Bob & Mary Hopkins also look at six planning frameworks and analogies that have been used over the years and continue to be used today, giving details on how they work, drawing comparisons between them and offering a critique from experience of using them.
Bob and Mary Hopkins build these insights into a simple framework and then look at how we can implement these strategies in the church now so that we might reach our communiities more effectively and without fear. They do this by unpacking eight practical principles of evangelism and exploring the key roles of the evangelist.
These insights have proved a revelation to so many, making sense of their exerience and releasing them to discover what may be appropriate and effective for their situation among a whole range of approaches and methods.

Siena...la più bella!
Siena, a small medieval city in the center of Tuscany, is "the cradle of the Italian language" and the heartland of the Italian of Dante. Service-learning in Siena offers an ideal opportunity for you to learn Italian through a full immersion in Italian life. And did we mention it's absolutely beautiful!?!?
Students will spend a semester in Siena, engaging in intensive Italian language study at the beginning, intermediate, or advanced level; living in a homestay with an Italian family; serving 12–18 hours a week in an Italian community organization or school; taking a course in socio-anthropology, and going on guided excursions. All of these activities blend into a unique and innovative language-teaching method, FICCS (Full Immersion Culture, Content, and Service). The program is designed to give students a rich and varied experience of modern Italian society and social issues.
Live, study and volunteer like a local in Tuscany
Located about one hour from Florence and three hours from Rome, this small but vivacious city provides a perfect home base for exploring the rest of Italy. Its two large universities keep things lively during the academic year with many cultural events, theaters, and concerts. During the summer, things heat up with the world renowned Palio, a horse race dating back to 1656, that takes place in the central square. The town itself is the classroom, as students navigate and gain familiarity with the local fruit and vegetable market, bakery, and gelateria, and absorb the Italian voices drifting in their window from the street. The countryside surrounding the city is home to producers of the famous Chianti and Brunello wines as well as some of the most sought after olive oil in the world. The province, with its rolling hills and cypress trees, is rich with hill towns, hot springs and Etruscan ruins waiting to be explored.

...and yes, that's Krista Hatcher.
...and yes, that's Krista Hatcher.
For the past 5 years Hatcher & Harvey have been together. I have been through some major changes in Krista's life. For the good times and the sad times.
Diane and Keith have always been a big part of Krista's life since she moved here.
...and it got a little weird!
We announced at about 7:10 this morning that Krista is moving back to Wisconsin and has a little over a week left. One of my favorite memories is when she thought she was tough enough to be a derby girl!
This is truly a bittersweet moment for me.
This morning Krista Hatcher took a shot at guessing what animal made this sound and failed horribly! It is an adorable husky puppy and it sounds like the little pup is saying "Mama"...
Saturday I turned 21...again.
I found a video on Facebook that looks like someone on our staff. Watch the reaction and guess who it is!
As promised, things got a little weird in the KFR Red Room last night.

|Home > World News > Article
Despite a difficult Golden Jubilee year marked by the death of her mother and sister, Queen Elizabeth used her annual Chritmas broadcast to signal she did not plan to step down.
The Queen looked back on the year with a mixture of joy and sadness.
The collapse of trials of two former royal butlers facing charges of stealing jewellery from the late Princess Diana prompted intense media scrutiny and questions about the royals' privileged lives.
"I look forward... to continuing to serve you to the very best of my ability each and every day," the 76-year-old monarch said in her televised message, effectively dismissing any speculation that she might abdicate. "The only way to live my life is to try to do what is right," she said.
The Queen spoke of her double bereavement, and thanked people for their support when her 101-year-old mother, the Queen Mother, and 71-year-old sister Princess Margaret died earlier this year.
"Many of you will know only too well from your own experience the grief that follows the death of a much loved mother or sister," she said.

- I'm not an ICSC member but I have an ID number because I was a member / I attended a meeting / I subscribe to SCT...Can I use my ID# to access ICSC.org?
Absolutely, but you will not be allowed access to member-only areas.
