A long time friend stopped over yesterday afternoon to show me his new (to him) 2002 Road King. The previous owner had put a set of new Metzelers on before the sale. He asked me if they were any good. I had no idea. I've been using Dunlops since the early 90's and nothing else. I mentioned to him that my good friend and neighbor down the street also has Metzelers on his Honda cruiser and swears by them.
Any opinions or first hand comparisons floating around out there? I'd love to know what you guys are running and if you have a specific reason. This is open to all bikes (even mopeds!). And don't forget to mention what you ride!
I've stuck with Dunlops all these years since I've never had an issue with them. In fact, I think the ones on my 08 Dyna Lowrider are the same tire I had on my 94 Katana except for the "Harley Davidson" on the sidewalls.

I dumped my Dunlops for Pirelli's. I was not disatisfied with the Dunlop's "stickyness" or ride, but got sick of getting new tires every damned season. This is my first season with Pirelli's and will have to let you guys know what I think after a bit more time.

anyone have suggestions for tires for a 71 sportster? Looking for boober style white walls...front and rear.

I saw some Pirelli whitewalls on denniskirk.com maybe there you could find a decent example from different manufacturers.

Been a Bridgestone man myself. They have always worn well for me and never had a traction problem.

I know Dunlop has both thin and wide white walls. I'm pretty sure any of the other major motorcycle tire manufacturers would have them as well (just tried to search Bridgestone...site seriously sucks).
I don't put a ton of miles on my bike and rarely weigh it down with a passenger when I do ride so the Dunlop wear hasn't really been an issue for me. My uncle's 06 Dyna just had a rear tire done last fall at around 10,000mi. His friends 06 Dyna at around 14,000 (beyond used up, he rides hard...LOL). I've got about 3000mi on the 08 with no real noticeable wear.
Jul 27, 2010 at 1:28 UTC
I put anywhere between 20-30K miles on my bike every year, so I go through some tires...Usually they are good enough to last me about 10-15K miles (and I've tried all types).
Recently I got tired of byuing the really expensive tires, and picked some Kenda Kruz tires and let me tell you, they turned out to be perfect! Good amount of comfort, long lasting and sticky enough for a cruiser (don't know about the sports bikes though).
After 8K miles the tires still looked pretty new. I have since sold that bike, but will probably look into getting some for my new bike (when the time comes).
Jul 27, 2010 at 1:33 UTC
I think the reason I've stuck with one brand and type is because I've yet to replace both tires at the same time...LOL. I can't even remember the last front I've had to change...
Jul 28, 2010 at 3:36 UTC
Pirelli tires FTW! i just got a pair of Pirelli angel tires for £160 designed specifically for touring and street use, lasting a long time (8 - 12 Months on a 600cc and 6 - 8 Months on a 1000cc+
Jul 29, 2010 at 7:47 UTC
I've got about 7.5k on my Dunlops on an 1100 Honda Sabre and have yet to see any noticeable wear. On bikes I've had in the past I've been able to get 12 to 15K on them before replacing. Of course at 15 it's getting pretty thin. I really think that a big factor in wear is A) how you ride and B) where you ride. I don't take those curves doing 100mph any more so don't need an ULTRA sticky tire. One that grips well at 75 or 80 works well for me. Dunlops are a little bit of a harder tire so the traction at higher speeds won't be as good as the softer ones. If you don't need that knee dragging traction then a harder tire will last you much longer than the softer ones. Also, if you ride on bad roads a lot or wet ones or slick ones that's going to determine what you need as well.
Jul 29, 2010 at 9:53 UTC
Comparing tires is subjective. Different tread design, different compounds, load ratings and wear all fall into play.
Most guys compare their worn brand A to new brand B. If you really want to compare, get identical bikes with different tires/compounds and ride identical roads.
To me wear is less important than traction. I used dunlop k591 on my fxdx. Very sticky in wet and dry. Got 8k out of the rear but worth every penny to me knowing I'd run out of bike before running out of tire.

Bridgestone BT016 [ i think] on my Kawi Z1000.
5000KMs and shes ROASTED almost to threads.
i ride hard tho , it would probably last someone else 7-8000kms

I have Bridgestone dual compund tyres on my Suzuki GSX650F. I think its BT016 as well. Bike came with Bridgestones, and when replacement time came up, decided to try the dual compund. Its a hard rubber in the centre line, so you get longer wear. But the sides are a soft rubber, for a better grip. I really like them, there is a definite grip improvement over what came with the bike.

So basically if you don't want to wear them down... just don't lean lol
pretty hard when living in Ireland since you have a corner every 50 yards :-p
Aug 6, 2010 at 5:08 UTC
Hehe. I only lean to avoid sheep and potholes!
Seriously though, I think the dual compound (spelt correctly this time!) is a great idea. Even here, its the middle that wears quickest, while its the outside you need the extra grip on. One day, all tyres will be made this way.....
Aug 6, 2010 at 7:55 UTC
The dual compound tires are nice. My friend has run them for quite a while. Makes sense, too...unless you like to ride in circles all day...LOL

Project DescriptionResidential-Projects
K+B Studio/Bath
Old World Goes High Tech
Floor-to-ceiling windows along two walls are the first hint that this bathroom was designed for an adventurous person. According to architects Stuart Cohen and Julie Hacker, the homeowner is an "interesting guy who owns a telecommunications company and collects English Arts & Crafts furniture." His distinctive combination of interests inspired a remodeled master bathroom that is traditional with a techy edge.
The house perches above a wooded ravine, which provides a measure of privacy for the new master bath. Two high-tech interior windows ensure that privacy—the glass goes from translucent to opaque at the flick of a switch. The liquid crystal product changes clarity with the introduction of an electrical current. The in-swing windows that match the home's original glazing were custom made to fit the arched openings. Windows overlooking the driveway got a more traditional treatment. Cohen and Hacker used old English painted glass panels that the owner bought years ago as a privacy screen

Mrs. FEINSTEIN. Mr. President, Vice Chairman CHAMBLISS and I are introducing a bill today to authorize funds included in the fiscal year 2012 Defense Appropriations Act that were not previously authorized.
Last year, the classified annex to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2012, division A of the conference report on H.R. 2055, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012, added three funding lines for two separate intelligence programs. While those programs are part of the National Intelligence Program, these additional funds were placed in a separate budgetary account, the Military Intelligence Program.
The additional funds for these items included in the defense appropriations conference annex were not included in the Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2012, Public Law 112 87, which authorized the National Intelligence Program budget. Neither were the additional funds for these items included in the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2012, Public Law 112 81, which authorized the Military Intelligence Program budget.
This created a situation in which funds for an intelligence program were appropriated but not authorized in statute. Section 504(a)(1) of the National Security Act states that funds may be obligated or expended for an intelligence or intelligence-related activity only if those funds were specifically authorized by the Congress for such activities.
As a result, the additional funds appropriated for these items have not been specifically authorized as required by section 504 and, therefore, may not be obligated or expended for these intelligence activities.
Vice Chairman CHAMBLISS and I have no substantive objections to expending the appropriated funds for these specific programs. However, we hold strongly to the principle that intelligence funds must be authorized if they are to be spent--this is one of the major purposes of the annual intelligence authorization bills.
We have discussed this matter with the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, and have agreed to seek passage of this legislation to permit them to spend these funds for the purposes identified in the 2012 Defense Appropriations Act.
The bill we are introducing today is very simple and quite short. It specifically authorizes the increased funding for these specific items to the extent that they are in excess to the amounts authorized in the Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2012.
For reasons of classification, I can't describe the nature of these intelligence programs on the Floor. Any Member, however, is welcome to come to the Intelligence Committee office and receive a briefing on the programs and why the funding is important.
I believe this legislation is necessary as a technical correction to permit funds already appropriated to be obligated and expended. I appreciate the work and cooperation of my Vice Chairman Senator CHAMBLISS on this matter and hope this legislation will move quickly to enactment.

Camara, Wildcats Look to Get Back on Winning Path
Earlier in the 2015-16 season, Kentucky head coach Matthew Mitchell could not keep freshman Batouly Camara in the lineup for the Wildcats. It wasn't that she was playing badly or that she was making a number of mistakes that were hurting the team. It was because, in seemingly every game, Camara was in foul trouble.
However, as her rookie season has progressed, Camara has, for the most part, fixed her fouling issue. And in doing so, she has become a much more productive player for the Wildcats.
In Thursday's loss at No. 2 South Carolina, Camara proved that she could play with just about anyone in the country. Facing the Gamecocks' formidable front line, Camara scored a career-high 14 points and grabbed nine rebounds in 25 minutes of action. While she did foul out of the game, it was probably her best effort of the season.
"(Camara) was very aggressive last night offensively and defensively," Mitchell said. "She made a ton of mistakes, but she played. When some kids were backing up against that big size (of South Carolina), she was going at them. I loved that."
No one could have seen that kind of effort coming, especially after Camara played just three minutes in Kentucky's previous game, an 85-79 loss at Florida.
Mitchell had a clear explanation as to why Camara didn't play more at Florida.
"The issue in the Florida game was that she was stopping," Mitchell said. "If a play didn't develop the way she wanted to, she would just stop."
So, how did she go from playing just three minutes to earning her second career start in the span of four days?
"After the Florida game, she really came to practice and really put her best foot forward," Mitchell said. "And that's how she earned the start against South Carolina."
Camara knows that she is progressing, but she also knows she can still make improvements. When asked what aspects of her game she needs to work on, her answer was simple.
"My defensive stance, guarding the ball and being tough," she said.
For the season, Camara averages 5.0 points and 4.7 rebounds, but those statistics only tell part of the story. That's because Camara has been singled out as an outstanding teammate by several Wildcats this season. What makes her such a good teammate?
"Every day, I try to bring positive energy," Camara says. "I try to stay positive, and it's not the easiest thing to do."
Mitchell also knows that Camara brings a lot to the team.
"(Camara is) a high character person, cares about others," Mitchell said. "We've never questioned whether she wanted to be a good teammate. She was letting her team down by stopping (at Florida), but you never questioned her intentions. She's a fantastic person. We're excited about her future. Batouly Camara will be a success here."
Camara and her Wildcats return to action on Sunday when they face LSU at Memorial Coliseum (12 p.m. ET, SEC Network). After losing three games in a row in the SEC, Kentucky finds itself at 15-6 overall and 4-6 in conference play.
Mitchell knows that his team needs to stay the course.
"You have to believe in what you're doing," Mitchell said. "There's a reason we lost the last three games. It's attention to details, defensive effort, paying attention to the little things."
Camara knows that Sunday is important to the team as well. "Sunday is huge for us," she said. "Every game is a learning process and we have to learn from our mistakes."
Mitchell knows that his team is going through a rough patch, but he also sees how his team can get back on track.
"I loved the way they worked going into the South Carolina game," Mitchell said. "If we can work that hard between now and Sunday, I think we can get a victory."

Kit Kat invasion? Nestle Middle East aims to triple sales by 2020
He added that sales in the region are growing by 15 per cent year on year.xx
Nestle Middle East expects to triple its sales in the region by 2020 as it expands its factories and develops new brands, according to the company's top executive.
"By 2020, we want to reach $6 billion (Dh22 billion)," said Yves Manghardt, chairman and chief executive officer of Nestle Middle East.
He added that sales in the region are growing by 15 per cent year on year.
Globally, Nestle's sales growth slowed to 4.6 per cent in 2013 amid pressure on prices in Europe and weaker emerging market demand. Its net profit dropped to 10 billion Swiss francs (Dh41.3 billion), from 10.6 billion Swiss francs in the previous year.
But in the Middle East, business has been brisk since posting no growth in the UAE, for instance, during the financial crisis.
Operations in the region fetched Nestle $2.4 billion last year.
The Swiss food and beverage company, whose brands include Kit Kat and Gerber baby food, plans to open a second factory in Dubai valued at Dh500 million next year, creating more than 800 jobs.
It will manufacture coffee and culinary products.
It is also expanding its current factory, which acts as the feeder base for its interests in Africa and the rest of the Middle East. Covering an area of 515,000 square foot, the factory manufactures confectionary products.
"We are adding a new line for confectionary," Manghardt said.
Nestle is looking to open new factories in the region in the long-term. Saudi Arabia is among its major markets, accounting for around 35 per cent of its total sales volume, followed by the UAE, Lebanon, Jordan and Kuwait.
With the loss of its factory in Syria last year and the current unrest in the country, the company lost around $100 million in the last two years.
Meanwhile, the company is looking to launch more premium brands to meet demand from more affluent consumers.
"For this year, we will expand Dolce Gusto. We will be launching it in Saudi Arabia," Manghardt said.
The coffee machine Nescafe Dolce Gusto was launched in Lebanon last year, he said. Its other premium brands include Perrier water.
Nestle, which set up direct operations in Dubai in 1997, has a portfolio of 16 factories and 13 offices in 13 countries in the region. It has products in several food and beverage categories, including dairy products, frozen foods, coffee, water and confectionary.

Author | exchange4media Mumbai Bureau | Thursday, Jun 02,2005 7:28 AM
From the "What your bahana is?" communication, McDonald's has moved to a price strategy campaign. The fast food major has decided to say that McDonald's doesn't hit your pockets too hard; in fact, it makes products available at prices of yesteryear. The campaign seems to have generated interest but is its cash counter seeing a difference?
Most ads dealing with price points are predictable and follow quite a similar format of aggressively focussing on the price. But McDonald's ad agency Leo Burnett sought a different way of communicating cheaper rates by using the 'Hamare Zamane ke Daam' tag line and yesteryear characters.
According to Amit Jatia, Joint Venture Partner & Managing Director, McDonald's Western India, the campaign has worked. He said, "Even as we can't give the exact sales figures due to company policy, sales have increased by 10 per cent. This shows that McDonald's is a great brand experience along with being affordable."
Srikanth Sarathy, Client Services Director, Leo Burnett, reiterated, "The campaign has done very well in generating awareness and building business for McDonald's."
Jatia further said that McDonald's had worked on an affordable price menu that's branded as the "Happy Price Menu". So the main objective behind "What your bahana is?" campaign was to communicate the affordable price point of Rs 20.
Dwelling on the reason behind using the phrase 'Hamare Zamane', Sarathy informed, "Indians are wary of the prices always. Moreover, the older folk make it a point to comment that in our days the products used to be damn cheap. So it was so natural to use the phrase – hamare zamane ke daam. For conveying the message, none could have fitted in better than evergreen Bollywood stars of yesteryears that find so much acceptance."
The stars in the campaign belong to a time when things were valued. So the selection of the stars has been relevant. Moreover, to add the twist, they are shown walking into today's colourful McDonald's outlet demanding products available at prices of their times. The blend of black and white and colour is used to connect generations effectively. Thought Sarathy does clarify that despite the use of the older generation, the ad is targeted at today's generation.
Jatia divulged that the series showcases Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor etc., and the campaign will continue as per the marketing plan. The casting of the look-alikes was effectively managed by Coke Red films, who made the films. The fast food chain leader has big plans and is all set to add another 18-22 restaurants across the country in 2005.

The whole airline industry will continue to rely on the use of fossil fuels in the short and medium term. Unlike some other industries, aviation does not have a clear alternative to jet fuel in the coming years.
easyJet believes the industry must show that it is making continual improvements in efficiency and optimising the use of these fossil fuels, whilst also supporting the longer-term technological change necessary to deliver more sustainable flying.
Sustainable Aviation, a UK body made up of airlines, aviation manufacturers, air traffic control providers and other organisations in the sector, supports efforts to reduce carbon emissions and has produced a carbon emissions roadmap.

Temperatures in the mid-60s, combined with a persistent, cool breeze and overcast skies gave Monday morning's practice a fall-like feel. The intensity on the field was similarly reminiscent of a day in September or November, not the second week of practice.
The Badgers worked on short-yardage and inside running Monday morning and the physical style likely added to the intensity and competitive spirit on the field. The defense in particular was excitable.
"You should have emotion defensively and be high strung and get after it," Wisconsin coach Barry Alvarez said. "That is the way you expect a defense to play and I thought for the first time practicing short yardage, good against good, I thought we got a lot out of it and it will be a good teaching tape."
The Badgers scrimmaged Sunday and Monday morning. Alvarez was happy with the results.
"I tried to explain to them when you go good against good and when you scrimmage you have to learn how to compete," Alvarez said. "You have to do the little things right. I like the way they mixed it up. I like the spirit they showed and I like the competitiveness. I think we got an awful lot out of it. I thought we got quite a bit done the last two practices."
Notes/thoughts from this morning's practice:
- Defensive linemen Darius Jones and Nick Cochart are not listed first on the depth chart, but should be considered first string. Jones and Cochart rotate in regularly with the front four, much as they did last season. Cochart lined up some at end this morning and played quite well. Jones' and Cochart's versatility gives the Badgers plenty of depth up front.
- Speaking of versatility, guard Kalvin Barrett turned in double duty during short yardage drills Monday morning. In addition to playing his regular second team role at guard, Barrett was in the rotation at defensive tackle, a position he played in high school. Joining him on the defensive front four were Jason Jefferson at tackle and Darius Jones and Anttaj Hawthorne, normally a tackle, at end.
- Brandon White turned in the play of the day. White ran a deep in, lunged fully extended and plucked the ball out of the air.
- Jonathan Orr provided the second best play of the day when he leapt, extended and snagged a pass downfield among tight coverage. He took a solid hit as soon he caught the ball, but held on.
- Most of Wisconsin's freshmen class has found itself on all-freshmen or third- or fourth-team units. Exceptions, however, can be found in defensive end Justin Ostrowski and offensive tackle Joe Thomas. Ostrowski has worked solely with the second unit defensively, while Thomas continues to work in with the second-string offense. When Thomas enters, Jake Wood moves from left tackle to right tackle, replacing Randy Gyllin.
- There appears to be quite a competition brewing for the right to back up Jeff Mack and Alex Lewis at inside linebacker. Kyle McCorison, Elliot Goode, Mark Zalewski, Reggie Cribbs and John Gillen have each rotated between the second and third units defensively.
- No such muddle at the outside linebacker spot, where LaMarr Watkins has a lock at the No. 2 spot and has received situational reps with the first unit. Chris Catalano remains No. 3 at drop linebacker.
- Wisconsin only has two fullbacks on the roster, but they have each excelled in fall camp workouts. Matt Bernstein looks like a defensive lineman and is athletic enough to catch passes out of the backfield. He should be a force as a short yardage runner as well. Few players are as physical or excitable as Bernstein.
- Greg Root, has also looked very good in camp thus far. At 6-2, 256, Root packs a pop as a lead blocker. He is also a solid receiver and runner from the fullback position.
- Anttaj Hawthorne had another nice practice, on one memorable play knifing into the backfield and tackling Dwayne Smith three yards behind the line of scrimmage.

The XIX ANOC General Assembly was held in Bangkok, Thailand, between 7-8 November 2014. Around 1,000 delegates attended the meeting including representatives from 203 NOCs, IOC members, International Federations, SportAccord and other Olympic stakeholders.
The ANOC General Assembly was opened on the morning of 7 November 2014 by Prayuth Chan-ocha, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand, before the ANOC President Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah and IOC President Thomas Bach gave their opening remarks. The General Assembly went on to hear reports from the ANOC President, the ANOC Secretary General Gunilla Lindberg and each of the Continental Associations. The ANOC President and ANOC Senior Vice-President Patrick Hickey were also re-elected unopposed for the 2014-2018 term.
In the afternoon, the chairpersons of each of the nine ANOC Commissions and Working Groups gave their reports on their plans for the coming years and the candidate cities for the Olympic Winter Games in 2022 (Almaty and Beijing) had the opportunity to present their proposals to the delegates.
On 8 November 2014, the Rio 2016, PyeongChang 2018 and Tokyo 2020 Organising Committees presented their reports to the General Assembly along with the Organising Committees of the Youth Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer 2016 and the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires 2018. The ANOC President announced the resolutions which had been passed during the ANOC General Assembly before concluding the meeting.

The Yankees are floating through another remarkable regular season, showing up for work, usually winning and trying not to peek too far ahead to October. But October, as usual, is inevitable for the Yankees. They are too powerful, and the Boston Red Sox are chasing the wild card, not the first-place Yankees.
Even Manager Joe Torre spent part of a Sunday morning in Seattle answering hypothetical questions about the postseason in the same interview session in which he mentioned how quickly leads can evaporate. But Torre was not really referring to his Yankees losing a 10 1/2-game lead. Torre cited the slumping Minnesota Twins, whom the Yankees begin a three-game series with Tuesday.
For the Yankees, the next six weeks will include a search for the right blend of reserves and a left-handed reliever as they glide toward the playoffs. But none of Torre's decisions will be more vital than the four choices he makes for the starting rotation. Actually, three spots are virtually guaranteed, so it is more about how confident he will be while using those pitchers.
So, seven months after Torre first answered questions about the revamped rotation in spring training, the inquiries, now in a different form, still loom. They will remain until the last out of the postseason, questions about whether the Yankees, steeped in pitchers with glossy résumés, can presume they will win.
''The pitching, I think, is the No. 1 priority,'' Torre said. ''That's really where your success is going to lie.''Continue reading the main story
As the Yankees wait to see whether Jason Giambi can return from a benign tumor to be a capable designated hitter, whether Alex Rodriguez can erase a season of anxious at-bats in clutch situations, and which teams will provide the obstacles in their path to a possible title, four players will probably determine their future.
Torre, like any smart manager, repeatedly focuses on the importance of pitching. Kevin Brown, Mike Mussina, Javier Vazquez and someone from the group of Orlando Hernández, Jon Lieber and Esteban Loaiza will probably mean more to the Yankees from Game 163 and beyond than Mariano Rivera or Derek Jeter.
Rivera will probably not have the chance to perform as the best closer in postseason history and Jeter will probably not have the chance to play like another Mr. October if the starters fizzle. A closer sits when his team is losing and an All-Star shortstop cannot be Superman if his team is sputtering.
Reggie Jackson, the original Mr. October, called Jeter ''our best player and our toughest player.'' Those are impressive compliments, but the toughness the Yankees most need must begin on the mound. If every starter had Hernández's arrogance and confidence, Torre would be talking about October every morning.
It should be intriguing and disturbing to the Yankees that Hernández is the pitcher who, at this moment, is best equipped to start Game 1 of the postseason. He toyed with the Texas Rangers in a 5-1 victory on Thursday and is 5-0 with a 2.08 earned run average. Rangers Manager Buck Showalter said he felt that Hernández was one of the Yankees' best pitchers even before Hernández pulled a Prince and started pitching like it's 1999.
When the Yankees factor his 10-2 record in the postseason into the discussion, Hernández, the nearly 40-something artist known as El Duque, is a desirable option. Torre said Hernández's previous October magic would weigh ''very heavily'' on his choices.
''As long as his body is able to respond to what his mind tells him he needs to do, sure he can be a big part of it,'' Torre said.
Brown, who spent almost seven weeks on the disabled list with a strained back and an intestinal parasite, still seems to be more of an experiment than a guarantee whenever he starts. That is not comforting to the Yankees, because Brown was supposed to be an ace. He was careless with a 3-1 lead against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday, then exited without speaking to reporters after the 7-3 loss.
Vazquez has not pitched in 11 days because of conjunctivitis, but he was cleared by a doctor Monday and will return against the Twins on Tuesday. By Vazquez's admission, he has sometimes stumbled during a season in which he is 13-6 with a 4.12 E.R.A. Until Vazquez soars through a postseason game, the doubt about how he will handle that difficult task will cling to him.
Mussina, like Giambi, was a pricey free-agent acquisition who has yet to contribute to a title. He was solid, but not great, in his first three seasons with the Yankees. This season, Mussina has a 5.20 E.R.A., which is a whopping 1.67 higher than his career average entering the season.
Mussina is returning from a stiff elbow to start Wednesday for the first time in almost six weeks, and he said it would take him six starts to feel normal. That should leave him enough time to be poised to thrive in the postseason. The Yankees had better hope all four of their starters are ready by then.Continue reading the main story

Chapter 1
As the ancient, Pillar of autumn class dagger pulled into dock for upgrade and reaoairs,it's captain was just getting some coffee when one of the ships many AIs made an announcement.
"Ship pulling into dock 319 on Super Mac station Exeltour"
The AI announcing this then appeared in the nearest holotank, and asked the captain,"Captain Mark Anthan, Permission to open airlock to let the technicians enter".
"You have my permission deja"said cpatain antan.
"Opening main airlock now, You haave an incoming message from ONI highcom"
"What is the message"
"It says to goto planet harvest as soon as the upgrades , repairs are done"
"Does it say what for?"
"No sir"
"well then they better hurry up with those repairs, and upgrades if it is that imprtant"
"Sir, you have another message directly from the Director of ONI"
"Really, What is it?"
"It says 'Top Secret', 'Take ship to distination Alpha B, Skip repais, and upgrades."
"Alha B?"
"Yes Sir"
"Then it must be very importantif the Director of ONI himself sent i. Set course for Alpha B, you will find the coordinates in your database, Authorization code M-19 Alpha Zeta 9"
"Coordinates set, charging slipspace capacitor, and undocking now."
"I wonder what this is all about. If it is so important, why not send a better equiped vessel."
" I do not know sir, engaging slipspace drive now"
And with that the ship went into slipspace, with captain wondering what his new assignment is all about.

Back in January, we reported that the theatrical release of The Little Mermaid 3D had been delayed indefinitely (read the article). The movie is being released in 3D on Blu-ray October 1st, so I guess it made sense for Disney to roll it out at the El Capitan in Hollywood, California so that fans can see it on the big screen after all.
According to the theater's official web site, the movie will be playing from September 20 - October 13, 2013, and moviegoers will be able to see Sofia from Sofia the First live on stage before the movie. After the movie, Ariel will make an appearance on the stage. View the Showtimes page for dates and times, and you can purchase tickets from a link on their web site.
Of course, this requires you to make the trip to Hollywood if you want to see the movie on the big screen. If you can't do that, you can pre-order the movie on Blu-ray and get it on October 1st and watch it at home for much less than the cost of plane tickets for you and the family (probably less than cab fare for those in the Los Angeles area)!
Gift Shop merchant Amazon.com has the movie right now for $34.96, which is 30% off the list price. If their price goes down between the time you pre-order and when it's released, they automatically refund the difference, which makes pre-ordering a sure bet!

It had been a long day, and Stanley was exhausted. As soon as he was through his front door, he made straight for the couch, tossing his keys haphazardly onto the kitchen table and setting himself down on the old, ratty piece of furniture.
It may not have aged well, but at this particular moment that couch was the best thing Stan could imagine. As he slumped further into the cushions the lights flickered and dimmed a little, but he didn't care. All he cared about right now was the soft, warm sleep that was taking him.
Stanley was woken by a chill, and he blearily eyed his surroundings as his drowsiness slowly waned. The room was darkened by the blanket of dusk, but there was still light enough for him to make out the dim, colorless world around him.
He cursed under his breath. He was always losing power for one reason or another, but his electric heating system made the colder months worse than most. 'I guess I should thank my lucky stars it's not started snowing yet,' Stan thought to himself, but it was little consolation with the temperature nearing the freezing point.
As he lifted himself wearily from the couch to fetch a blanket, he could have sworn he saw something moving past one of the windows. Having been a superstitious man all his life, he would not write this off as a tree branch as easily as another might. Slowly, he walked to the fireplace and picked up an iron fire poker.
Stan looked down at his hand. He didn't remember picking up the fire poker, but it seemed perfectly natural that he should have set about starting a fire, what with the cold outside. 'I must be going senile,' he thought with bemusement before kneeling down and grabbing some logs to put into the fireplace. Well, I guess it's never too early to start ' He had always had a habit of forgetting things, so this latest occurrence meant very little to him. After gathering a decent amount of kindling and dropping that in with the larger logs, Stanley reached for a small box of matches. He felt a cold breeze on his back.
'A draft now?' It didn't make sense, Stan had always kept his windows locked from the tail end of Autumn to the start of Spring. 'Unless...' The thought froze him in place as he frantically tried to mentally retrace his steps. 'Through the door, throw keys, couch.' He had to have closed the door, how could he forget that? Slowly, he forced himself to turn around, silently attempting to reassure himself as he looked toward the front door.
It was open, and there was someone in the doorway. Stan's heart skipped a beat, and all movement ceased. In the back of his head was a voice telling him to move, but it felt like a distant memory, and he remained frozen in place. The figure merely stood there, all discernible features shrouded by the darkness, nothing but an inky silhouette in the shadows.
Stanley's heart was definitely beating faster than it had been a moment ago, and his stomach was twisted in knots. Something was wrong, he realized.
Even without eyes it was staring at him, he could feel it.
Somewhat unsteadily, Stan got to his feet. He didn't know why, but he had to call the police, and suddenly found himself terrified at the thought of being alone for even a moment longer.
The room was darker now than before, and the figure was closer to him. It had not moved, not an inch, but it was nearer.
Now visibly shaking, Stanley pulled his phone from his pocket, but no sooner had he done so than he felt a presence directly behind him.
Stanley turned around.
Stanley turned around.

He was sitting on the bench outside. The light from inside highlighted the silver that was becoming more apparent through his hair. She was sure he hadn't been that grey before he started the project, and she knew she hadn't been as tempted to drink until he was there; obviously it had taken a toll on them both.
She stepped out to join him, and he looked up as she sat down. There was a distance between them, and Kirsten put a hand down to fill it some. She knew he didn't want her to be too far away. She didn't feel the need to be too close.
"Hey." Their eyes met, and Kirsten smiled a smile she knew wouldn't reach them. His impressive speeches to her about his love for her, his efforts since… They'd been enough for a short moment, but it was becoming apparent that there wasn't anything that could undo the space between them that had started, in truth, long before Sandy decided he needed to build a hospital.
"Hi." Kirsten kept her voice quiet as she looked away from him, towards their dark room. Light from the moon reflected off the glass doors. If she kept her eyes on them, she could even see stars amongst the mirrored clouds.
"Honey-." Kirsten looked at him and cut him off with her one glance. He knew she didn't want to hear it. She was sick of his excuses, his smooth talk amounting to little more than promises he couldn't keep. She wasn't sure he had anything more to offer her than these little lies. He'd be there more often. He'd give up the hospital. He'd sort out the boys. He'd bridge the gap between them and start being a husband again.
Unable to help himself, he started again.
"Unless you're going to tell me the last year can be undone, I don't know if there's anything we have to say to each other." She wasn't sure why she'd come out here, why she'd come to sit by a man who was, these days, no more her husband than Jimmy Cooper was.
Another silence built up between them, and Kirsten could feel him looking at her, his eyes tracing her profile. She turned to him and saw his eyes soften as they looked into hers. She'd loved this man so much. He'd always been there for her, no matter what. She wasn't sure how they'd ever made it this far; her father hated him, his mother couldn't stand her. Somehow, they'd forged their own family, their own life together. And now, it was slipping through their fingers, crashing around them like breaking waves. And she wasn't sure either of them could do enough to rebuild it.
"Sandy, I don't want to live like this." Kirsten looked away from him, back towards the reflected stars, so far away, so untroubled. She was glad he'd paused before finding a reply to her; glad he hadn't just asked her how she was living. Glad he acknowledged that something was happening to them, that their foundations were shaking, the mortar crumbling into smaller and smaller pieces; dust in the wind.
"I know."
"Do you?" Her recrimination was immediate, biting. She didn't want his empathy when it was clear that he had no idea. She knew he hadn't even begun to consider the depth of her views; how much she hated feeling like she was the third wheel in her own relationship; there was Sandy, there was the hospital and there, on the fringes, was Kirsten.
"I want to." His hand reached for hers; she moved it just in time. He knew as well as she did that actions spoke louder than words; that his noticeable absences, his ignorance of her, slowly slipping back into an abyss that, in part, he had helped drive her into. She wanted desperately not to blame him, but without his lies when Rebecca was around… Without them, she wouldn't have found the need to find relief with Carter, wouldn't have found it such a cruel, cold shock when he left. Wouldn't have reached deep into the 'fridge and switched to vodka that night.
"What, so you can send me away again? Because that's what you'd like, isn't it? To send me back to Suriak, or some other rehab clinic where we have to talk about feelings. About why we're there. Do you know what I talked about, Sandy?" Her words were spoken quickly, almost stumbling over each other but still clear. She knew he felt the sting of them, could see even in the half light that every little bit of accusation dug in, crawled under his skin, abused him. She hated herself for doing this to him, but it had been in her mind, curdling like the crust on overheated milk for far too long. But once she said it, she knew she could never take it back. You can't unsay words once they're tangible, imprints on the air, carrying their message. This was the only reason she stopped, breathing more heavily, turning her eyes from him so she didn't have to look at the defeat in his profile, the sullen slump to his shoulder that signified she'd won. But won what?
There was another long pause between them, highlighting the distance. Once, silence between them was just unspoken love, stretched out between them like invisible taffy, holding them together. Now it was just empty space, void of anything except for unspoken hurts and old wounds that, if touched, would bleed again. She knew deep down that now was a time for compromise; now was when she should swallow the other hateful words that were backed up in her throat and accept him and his weightless apologies. But she'd been dying inside for too long, wilting like torn petals from a drooping flower, aimless in the wind, rudderless without his support and willingness to hear that she'd had a bad day, that she'd thought of vodka and even paused in front of the cupboard, willing herself not to reach in and uncork a bottle of merlot. She wanted him to hate himself as much as she did at this point, wanted him to realise just how instrumental he'd been in her sculling glass after glass of white wine last night before curling up in bed and crying herself to sleep.
"Have you been drinking again?" His tone wasn't accusatory, but Kirsten felt the barbs underneath, uncoiling as she absorbed his words. She couldn't believe he'd follow up with a question of that magnitude, as if he was trying to get her to admit her sins so that he could absolve them by a phone call to a doctor, a cheque written to an elite institution.
"If I say yes, will you stage another little intervention? Get our son to tell me that enough is enough?"
"It was our son who told me you'd been drinking." Kirsten felt that like a punch in the stomach, and she felt herself gasp, felt her fingers curl against the cold cement of the seat. Her nails scraped a little, and the extra sensation, along with the knowledge that Seth knew she'd fallen… Something rose in her throat, burnt the back of her mouth before the steadfastly made it retreat, stinging all the way down until it sat, like a hard lump of molton lead, in the pit of her stomach. She'd used Seth as a pawn in their argument, wanting Sandy to know only that Seth was the reason she'd gone to Suriak in the first place. Not Sandy. Not the fact that, even then, their marriage had started to crumble because of her desire to be absent from it, the pain it was lending her, in a cloud of vodka fumes. Seth had been her driving force, her motivation. She'd talked to Ryan sometimes about Dawn and she'd sensed the emotional scars that had run deep. She didn't want Seth to have similar scarring.
"God…" Kirsten curled her torso over her legs, resting her hands on the back of her head, needing to feel smaller, less of a target. She was a horrible person. Startling clarity was awarded to her in this brief window of absolute disgust. She'd broken the promise to her family that she'd be okay; she'd get through this and be the mother and wife they could all rely on again. Instead, she'd made Seth feel that he had to go behind her back to Sandy. Sandy, who'd sent her away the first time. Who'd spent the night with an ex-girlfriend. Who'd been sitting next to her, knowing she'd broken the promise she'd made, but who had let her speak cruelly to him without telling her until now.
"Baby-." Kirsten stood up as he reached over to put an arm around her back. She backed away, knowing she was irrationally upset. There had never been anything they couldn't fix together before. Then again, she'd been sitting there with him, feeling like they were strangers, feeling the d-word swirling around in her head, ready to be released.
"Don't… Don't touch me, Sandy. I have to…" Kirsten shook her head and twisted her fingers together. She skirted around the seat and walked into the kitchen. Her purse was sitting on the bench and she picked it up, fishing around for her keys. She didn't notice Seth and Ryan on the sofa, didn't hear them mute the television. She wasn't aware of them until Seth's arm alighted on her shoulder. She jumped, backed away from him as well before her eyes softened, before she looked into his almost-adult eyes and realised if she had to go that he would be the hardest to leave- again.
"I'm so sorry." Kirsten said, putting her bag down to capture him in a hug. His hands came around her back, and she felt like he was six again and she was hugging him better after a skateboarding accident he'd had. She pulled back, held him at arms length, tears marring the vision of him.
"Mom… What's wrong? Did Dad say something…?" Seth shot a confused glance out the door to the darkness of the patio before looking back at her. She let him go and retrieved her bag, slinging it over her shoulder.
"Mom, I didn't mean… I kind of told him in the heat of the moment… Your drinking." He shifted on his feet, his eyes roaming on her face, staying away from her eyes in case he found something to compound his guilt. Kirsten smiled sadly.
"It was probably for the best. Not your fault." Ryan had come to join Seth in the kitchen and, after a quick hesitation, Kirsten pulled him to her. She didn't want to be his mother, didn't want to leave with only a careless wave.
"I've got to… Seth, make sure your Dad wears a tie tonight." Kirsten released him, motioned towards the front door. The truth was, she hadn't thought about where she was going. But she didn't want to be around them for a while, didn't want to inject her poison into their veins and rip them all apart again. She knew if she stayed to talk to Sandy that she'd say something she'd firmly regret. Mention the d-word. She was scared that he'd react to a slight suggestion of divorce with relief, glad to be rid of her, cut her loose so he could get on with his work without his emotionally see-sawing wife being a millstone around his neck.
Turning quickly, Kirsten walked down the hallway and let herself out of the heavy oak door. She shut it with a soft click behind her and let out the breath she hadn't realised she'd been holding before getting in her car and accelerating down the drive.
What was that? That, my friends, was my interpretation of what the conversation-on-the-bench in 3x24 The Man of the Year should have been like. Not Kirsten giving up without a fight. Not a half-hearted holding of hands; I wanted things said, things unsaid, thoughts flying around. Of course if TBTB decided to do this, they couldn't have wrapped the Sandy/Kirsten relationship up in a neat little package ready for S4. Pfft. Bring on the angst. So tell me what you think. And yes, there'll be more. Eventually. You all know how much I need to update my other fics though… sigh. Soon. Maybe. ;)

ACROSS MISSISSIPPI — Mississippi's casinos won $182.2 million in October, down 5 percent from $191.6 million in October 2010.
The 19 river casinos won $93.9 million in October, down 9 percent from $103.5 million in the year-ago month, according to Mississippi Department of Revenue figures. Winnings at the 11 Mississippi coast casinos totaled $88.2 million, up slightly from $88.1 million the previous October.
River winnings are down 12.2 percent through the first 10 months of the year, reflecting the heavy impact of flooding in May and June. Coast winnings down less than 1 percent. Statewide, gross revenue is down 6.9 percent for year, to $1.89 billion, putting Mississippi's casinos on track for the fourth straight year of declining revenue since 2007's all-time high.

text: New Cortus APS23 processor core targets sensors, wearables and IoT applications07 Oct 2014 04:28 PM APS23, 32-bit low-power processor is designed to deliver increased code density to meet power, size requirements of new wave of connected devicesCortus has unveiled the first of a new family of products based on its v2 instruction set today (7 October 2014). The APS23 core was built to deliver a new level of efficiency, ease of integration and cost of ownership for low-power, connected intelligent devices. The core reduces embedded system power by optimising the size of the instruction memory."The Internet of Things and other smart devices are rewriting the rules for developing systems-on-chip and fuelling huge growth for the semiconductor industry," said Rich Wawrzyniak, senior analyst for ASIC & SoC at Semico Research."IoT is creating a massive universe of connected intelligent devices that place stringent demands on processor IP and potentially represent much bigger unit numbers than the mobile market. What's needed is a minimalist approach to power, silicon area and cost without sacrificing performance or security. This is what Cortus is doing and why Semico believes the company is well-positioned to meet the needs of this emerging market."Cortus licenses a range of low-power, 32-bit processor cores for intelligent connected devices. Given the continuing demand to reduce power in system-on-chip (SoC) designs, Cortus has developed a second-generation (v2) instruction set aimed at reducing the size of a system's instruction memory. The APS23 is the first product to use the v2 instruction set and is aimed at low power always on/always listening systems and those with less demanding clock frequencies such as Bluetooth Smart. (See also: APS25 news release from Cortus)."Cortus cores have a proven track record in low power applications such as wireless, smart sensors and touchscreen controllers," said Michael Chapman, CEO and president of Cortus. "However we know that today's smart applications require a new generation of IP - IP designed with a minimalistic approach to system silicon area and power consumption while also providing good cost of ownership and key functionality. "We have focused on reducing the size of the instruction memory which is usually the largest single component in a system and are seeing an average 16% improvement in code density over our earlier (v1) cores."The APS23 has a Harvard architecture, sixteen 32-bit registers, a 3-stage pipeline and a sequential multiplier. It supports the AXI4-Lite bus as well as Cortus APS peripherals. The core delivers 2.83 DMIPS/MHz and 1.44 CoreMarks/MHz in computational performance. The minimal usable APS23 CPU starts around 9.8 kgates when optimised for area. Dynamic power is 12 microwatts/MHz with a 90 nm process (Cortus cores are synthesisable and foundry independent).The Cortus v2 instruction set allows the seamless mixing of 16-, 24- and 32-bit instructions without mode switching. This instruction set is richer than the v1 instruction set which used a mix of 16- and 32-bit instructions. Cortus will continue to offer products based on the v1 instruction set (e.g. APS3R) in parallel with the new cores based on the v2 instruction set. All C/C++ or assembler code developed for the v1 cores can be used unmodified on the v2 cores.All cores interface to Cortus' peripherals including Ethernet 10/100 MAC, USB 2.0 Device and USB 2.0 OTG via the efficient APS bus. They also share the simple vectored interrupt structure, which ensures rapid, real time interrupt response, with low software overhead.The APS tool chain and IDE (for C and C++) is available to licensees free of charge, and can be customised and branded for final customer use.
