Freakin EXCELLENT!
Holy fook dude! How are you alright? One of those Colombian Angels must have been looking out for you!
Please post more pics of the fix if you have them. Great RR.
Yeah, I'm OK. I was a bit battered and bruised at the time but I'm back on form now. I was so thankful to have had all my riding gear on at the time. It took me a while to feel comfortable back on the bike again but a couple of hundred miles later it was business as usual.
The first thing to take the hit was the sump guard. It was ripped straight off the bike and we found it quite a few meters back. He cut the damaged side off and managed to bash the rest of it in to a suitable shape for it to be wedged back.
You can see the damage to the frame here:
There was a gaping hole in the crank case here and you can see where he cut the damaged part of the frame out:
This photo shows the repair job to this. You can also see the new piece of frame welded up. The maestro even fabricated an engine mount on the new part of the frame.
The housing was also damaged and incredibly botched up. Unfortunately I can't find a good picture of the damage to this:
The bike has since done thousands of miles since the fix and other than a minor oil leak it feels completely fine. Loads more pics here.
The Maestro... An absolute legend at work. Everything is possible.
Epic Ride
Thanks for sharing !!!
awesome update! glad you made it through that off! well done.
+1 to the maestro!
Thanks for the pics Pete. Its amazing the work some people can do.
Great story, and awesome you're still here to tell it. If you were a cat, you'd have spent a few lives there and then.
haha, I guess I should start taking it easy as I left most of those lives on the BAM road in Siberia.
Hi, what a journey, i have a question... There is no way to ship the bikes from vladivostok directly to Anchorade or at least Seatle?
And how much did it cost to send the Bikes from Corea?
I am so interested becouse next year o am going to travél from Medellín to vladivostok throuhg África And europe
Hi I'm a 6 8" Swede who's going to go to Buenos Aires from Arizona or there abouts on a DRZ 400, will my knees die?
Good luck with the trip and may the force be with you.
Awesome repair by the way.
I ride with a guy who is 6'8". He rides an XR600R. (old bike) He's ridden my DRZ400E ... not too bad for shorter rides but I'm sure painful riding all day.
You may be able to do a few things to raise the bike up some:
rear link
lowering tubes in triples
build up seat at least 2 inches
Foot peg lowering kit
All that said the LESS reliable KTM 640 (either dual sport or Adventurer) is the better BIG MAN bike. But bring tools, parts and expert knowledge to make to B.A.
My 6'8" buddy looked like a Clown riding my DR650, but not so bad on the DRZ.
Here is 6'8" Bob on my stock DRZ400E, just doing a Day Ride in Mitomi wash, Baja, Mexico. A heavier shock spring, rising link
and heavier fork springs certainly would have helped. Custom seat too!
He fits better on his raised XR600R. The KTM's are even taller!
yeah, I would agree! I am barely 6' and my bike sits just about stock. 200 mile days are kinda hard on my knees, but then again, I'm gettin' old!
Hi Pedro!
Firstly, you live in one of the greatest cities this planet has to offer! Why are you leaving?
Your trip sounds excellent and I hope the planning stage isn't too stressful for you. We massively underestimated the cost of shipping on this trip. You may say this was down to a lack of forward planning but in all honesty, we found it hard to get accurate information until we actually arrived at the place.
Is it possible to ship from Vlad to Anchorage? Yes, it is possible however it was very expensive and very slow. We were told it would take around 1 month to arrive before any customs procedures on the Anchorage side. In addition to that it was necessary that we hired an entire container which was thousands and thousands of dollars. It's difficult to find any English speakers around that area so we ended up using an agent recommended by numerous other riders on here and the HUBB. His name is Yuri. He is a friendly guy, fluent English speaking and seems to be making a genuine living. Drop him a mail to see if he has any more up to date advice for you:
Melnikov Yuri
Links, Ltd.

mail to: ymelnik <[AT]> links-ltd [<DDOOTT>] com
Shipping the bikes from Korea ended up being an exciting part of the trip for us. Neither of us expected to be riding through Korea but it ended up being a real highlight. This was still very expensive and ended up costing $1350 USD per bike. We then needed to buy our own flights from Seoul to Seattle.
Again, we relied on the help of a well known agent called Wendy Chow. I can also dig her details out if you need them.
Feel free to fire any other questions over. I'm more than happy to help.
I think I'm with Grifter and Woodly on this one. I'm around 6ft and the bike feels about right for me. If possible, try to get out and do a few hours on a DRZ to see how it feels but I think you may well have to apply some of the mods listed by Grifter to make it a more comfortable ride.
The DRz is not really built for the long, high-speed highway stretches and without a screen on can at times be quite uncomfortable when you encounter strong winds. BUT... it's ability to get you anywhere and everywhere makes it a great choice of bike for Latin America. If you give yourself enough time you can avoid the long straight stretches and really explore South America properly. In hindsight I don't think I would have chosen a different bike.
Good luck.
Not at all, your report has been so helpfull, and we are so exited with this project...
Actually we are considering buying the bikes at florida (USA) and start traveling from there, can you imaging that an F800GS cost $22.000 dollars at Colombia and at the USA it cost just $12.000
Ride fun ride safe.
CRD sump guards are really tough, I've used mine for more than 40,000 kilometres of enduro riding. I could have never imagined someone could break it like that.
We need more updates!! I am loving this report so far and I cannot wait to take my DRZ around the world. If you are back in the UK this summer I would love to stop by and buy you guys a beer.
Haha! Pleased you're enjoying the updates and yeah we are definitely going to be knocking around London in the summer so get in touch and we will take you up on that beer.
Yeah, bike prices are crazy in Colombia. After my crash just outside of Pasto I thought I was going to have to buy a new bike down there. I was shocked to see the prices of any half decent bikes. Unbelievable. You guys have a tough deal down there but it sounds like your plan is coming together nicely.
Thanks go to Jon for writing this blog entry:
Day 216, Friday 23rd November, it felt great to be back on the road. After the miraculous repair job performed by Meastro and his boys in Pasto, Tough Miles set sail towards Ecuador. Petes bike had undergone some serious surgery, so we proceeded with caution and checked oil and water at regular intervals. It was only a short ride to the border, but the crossing itself took hours. As we rode between offices a new noise developed from Petes engine, a loud intermittent clattering sound. Neither of us could imagine what was causing this, but we didnt have time to investigate. We both knew the odds of us making it down to Ushuaia by the end of the year were extremely slim at this stage. After completing the necessary paperwork we finally made it out of Colombia, and began our ride along the E35 towards Quito.
The last week or so had been extremely tough. I genuinely believed Pete would be stuck in Pasto waiting for his bike to be repaired for many more days, and I began mentally to prepare for riding on solo. Having now made it into Ecuador together, and seemingly got the trip back on track, well, kind of, we decided to quit while we were ahead and stop in Otavalo. Despite only being a small indigenous town, it was Friday, so in true Tough Miles style Pete and I managed to find somewhere to have a quiet drink
This one goes out to the Maestro!
For some reason our nights out seem to be all or nothing, and the following morning I felt as rough as a badgers arse. The weather had taken a turn for the worse, and despite a very late start, around mid-day, we both still felt drunk getting on the bikes. We stopped at an empty cafe for some breakfast and to try and sober up. Not being funny but the coffee tasted like soil and the bread was like filling my mouth with sawdust. We sat for 30mins or so in silence before battling on with the ride to Banos. Tough Miles.
Banos, also known as the adventure capital of Ecuador seemed like a cracking place to spend a few days, offering all sorts of activities such as hiking, biking, rafting etc. But we were behind schedule, and I guess everyday riding is our adventure activity! So after a quiet night in hostel Plantas Y Blanco we pushed on to Cuenca, a city located in the highlands of Ecuador at about 2500m above sea level. It was Sunday when we arrived, so literally everywhere was closed. Once we had checked into a hostel we tried to go for a couple of afternoon beers, but it seemed the local laws prevented anywhere from selling alcohol after 4pm, providing a perfect oppportunity for writing the next blog! The hostel, recommended by Team BMW was far from ideal. The only space left was two top bunks, which were so close to the ceiling that I could barely roll over without brushing my shoulder.
On Monday the 26th November we left Cuenca and re-joined Team BMW further down the road in Loja. We knew Marj wouldnt let us down, and as we arrived our luchtime tasty sandwiches were waiting. That day we managed to cross the border into Peru and ride together to a town called Piura. It was a huge ride, and as we dropped out of the mountains the air temperature rocketed. Entering Peru was like riding through an animal farm, with countless goats, stray dogs, chickens, pigs and cows lining the side of the road. Its difficult to predict when the next animal will decide to bundle across your path, so you really have to be on the edge of your seat! The scenery was fantastic though, and the wildlife and changing conditions are a constant reminder of the epic adventure you are part of.
For the following day we planned another long ride to reach Santa. That morning Pete was up and ready to go at 3.00am! I woke up and said What the hell are you doing?! He claimed I had said Its time in my sleep. That must be the only time hes ever got up before me! The road to Santa was long and straight, cutting through the middle of a desert. It was a nice temperature for riding, but the novelty of the scenery soon wore off and the day became a hard slog. Santa was hardly the seaside resort we had hoped for, and it became apparent that it would be another chicken dinner sat in a small cafe on the side of a dead town square, but thats biking. At this stage we also noticed that Petes chain was knackered and that the tyres were degrading fast.
On Wednesday the 28th November we had a long hot ride through the desert to reach Lima, the capital and largest city of Peru.

Motorola's Indian adventure with the beginning of a new year has a kicked off in a grand style with the initial announcement and the release of the new Moto G.
Priced at Rs. 13,999 and Rs. 12,499 for its 16 GB and 8 GB variants, respectively, the Motorola-made new Moto G looks to compete in the mid-ranger section that effectively makes the most dough compared to the other high-enders that are also up for sale in the market.
Recommended: Samsung Galaxy S4 Gets A Massive Price Cut: Now Available Online At Rs. 29,199
Since pricing in the main concern in this market, it seems like Motorola just hit a jackpot by offering more at a lesser price. Going by the common trend, while most smartphone manufacturers manage to hit the mid-tier price range by passing up on a lot of features and using not-so-great components, Motorola aims to change such mentalities by offering the Moto G with impressive specs while making the device as affordable as possible at the same time.

Here's our exclusive take on the new Moto G with our very own review and hands on for the smartphone. Check it out below

The recently finalized acquisition of Alcatel by Nokia might be what the company needs to create sufficient value for shareholders and be the final push for new investors to buy stock in the company.
Giant in the Making
As a result of the deal announced in April last year and finalized on January 14, Nokia Corporation and Alcatel-Lucent will function as one company in 2016. The merger of two networking giants creates a company valued at $37 billion, making it Europe's largest and one of the world's biggest network equipment companies.
The move has put two of the six biggest core networking and radio companies together, making it fully competitive with other goliaths in the field, such as Huawei and Ericsson. However, the question still remains whether this move is enough to give the merged company's shares more perceived value and entice investors into buying its stock.
The full potential of the merger, which may attract significant interest from investors, is the synergies. After the acquisition of the French company, Nokia announced that it had plans to eliminate redundant annual operational expenditure of over $900 million by 2019, a deadline it has now moved forward to 2018. At the same time, it announced that an additional $200 million would be cut in interest expenses by the next year.
The numbers are huge and are giving a positive indication of the future. Both of these companies are known for their high levels of operational costs that result in a significant part of their gross profits getting gobbled up by operating expenses. If the new company can deliver on these impressive goals, then the future possibilities are endless.
This level of cost cutting and streamlining should also counter critics who point to the unfavorable prospects for the industry in the future, making Nokia a good possible option for investors.

Ibis Aerospace came to last month's NBAA Convention with a restyled full-scale cabin mockup of its Ae270 turboprop single. The new interior provides fully adjustable leather seating in a club arrangement and includes two foldout tables, an ultrasuede headliner, a fabric-covered side ledge, adjustable lighting and environmental controls. Additionally, the mockup had two storage compartments just aft of the cockpit designed to hold refreshments, flight manuals, an entertainment system and other items. Ibis at the show also announced three new distributors for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6-42A-powered Ae270: Cutter Aviation of Phoenix; Woodland Aviation of Woodland, Calif.; and Field Aviation Sales of Mississauga, Ontario. Those signings raised the distributor total to eight, and the order book for the 1,300-nm (NBAA IFR) turboprop single now stands at 69 aircraft. Meanwhile, three Ae270 prototypes are continuing flight-test trials overseas, with certification pegged for the third quarter of this year.

427 F2d 895 Boyden v. United States
427 F.2d 895
Gerald Glenn BOYDEN, Appellant,
UNITED STATES of America, Appellee.
No. 21404.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
May 19, 1970.
Michael P. McCabe (argued), of Trembath & McCabe, Concord, Cal., for appellant.
Gregory Fischbechausa (argued), Wm. Matthew Byrne, Jr., U.S. Atty., Robt. L. Brosio, Asst. U.S. Atty., Edward J. Wallin, Asst. U.S. Atty., Los Angeles, Cal., for appellee.
Before CHAMBERS and DUNIWAY, Circuit Judges, and PENCE, District judge.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
We find no merit in Boyden's contention that because his appeal was long delayed he should now go free. The delay was unavoidable.
Boyden asserts he was illegally arrested at the outset. Assuming this to be true, it is not shown how this tainted any evidence at the trial.
He objects to searches at his brother's house when his brother was arrested. Williams v. United States, 9 Cir., 418 F.2d 159, makes it clear that the failure to suppress (in 1955) cannot be objected to now unless the search is post Chimel v. California, 395 U.S. 752, 89 S.Ct. 2034, 23 L.Ed.2d 685.
Also, some evidence was obtained (and later used) from a search of a house rented by one Charlene Adkins, a minor. She consented to the search. We are of the view that even though as a minor she might have repudiated the lease, still as the renter she could grant permission to another to enter, as the law stood in 1955.
There was some real evidence removed from Boyden's car by a deputy sheriff and a mechanic. The events and trial were pre-Elkins (Elkins v. United States, 364 U.S. 206, 80 S.Ct. 1437, 4 L.Ed.2d 1669). So, if not properly seized, the defendant cannot take advantage of the point. Linkletter v. Walker, 381 U.S. 618, 85 S.Ct. 1731, 14 L.Ed.2d 601.
We find that while defendant represented himself, the court did try to provide him with counsel and he refused. On the record here, he cannot complain of lack of counsel.

Impact of Neurally Adjusted Ventilator Assist (NAVA) Mode on Patient Ventilator Asynchrony Using Non-invasive Ventilation (NAVA-NIV) (NAVA-NIV)
This study has been completed.

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been proposed to reduce the incidence of ventilatory dysfunction following mechanical ventilation weaning. However, the nasogastric tube reduces the airtightness of the facial mask used to perform non-invasive ventilation and induces air leaks. The presence of leaks at the patient-mask interface can increase the risk of patient-ventilator asynchrony, which in turn leads to increase patient discomfort. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA)could contribute to decreasing asynchrony. Its principle is to record the diaphragmatic electrical activity and to control the ventilator. The investigators hypothesized driving the ventilator based on a neural signal (diaphragm electrical activity) would reduce patient-ventilator asynchronies in NIV

1701 De Fer Map of the Duchy of Milan, Northern ItalyDucheDeMilan-defer-1701
1701 De Fer Map of the Duchy of Milan, Northern ItalyDucheDeMilan-defer-1701
1701 (dated) 9 x 13.5 in (22.86 x 34.29 cm) 1 : 840000
The Duchy of Milan, created in 1395, was a constituent state of the Holy Roman Empire. At the time this map was created, the Duchy was under Spanish control. Following the War of Spanish Succession, Spain would lose many of its territories in Italy, including the Duchy of Milan to Habsburg Austria, until in 1796, Napoleonic forces would conquer it. The Duchy of Milan would eventually cease to exist in 1797, with the signing of the Treaty of Campo Formio.
Overall, a very interesting and attractive map of the region surrounding Milan to appear in the beginning of the 18th century. This map was engraved by Harmanus van Loon and created by Nicholas De Fer for his 1701 Atlas.
Nicholas de Fer (1646 - 1720) was the son of cartographer Antoine de Fer. He established himself in Paris as an engraver, cartographer, and map publisher. De Fer was a prolific cartographer with over 600 maps and atlases to his credit. De Fer's work, though replete with geographical errors, earned a large following because of its considerable decorative appeal. In the late 17th century, De Fer's fame culminated in his appointment as Geographe de le Dauphin, a position that offered him unprecedented access to the most up to date cartographic information. This was a partner position to another simultaneously held by the more scientific geographer Guillaume Delisle, Premier Geograph de Roi. Despite very different cartographic approaches, Delisle and De Fer seem to have stepped carefully around one another and were rarely publicly at odds. Upon his death in 1720, Nicolas was succeeded by two of his son-in-law, Guillaume Danet and HIS brother Jacques-Francois Danet, and their heirs, who continued to publisher under the De Fer imprint until about 1760.
Harmanus van Loon (fl. c. 1690 - c. 1725) was a Flemish engraver active in Paris during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Van Loon worked primarily in Paris and often signed his work, which includes maps and other engravings for such prominent cartographers as Nicolas de Fer, Jean Baptiste Nolin, Guillaume Delisle, and others. There is some speculation that he may have been related to the Brussels born painter Theodorus van Loon.

Bradford 2012 review: THE DEVIL'S BUSINESS
It's a shame, then, that Hogan has to go and spoil the effect so badly, with page after page of flowery dialogue, cheap gore and comical Halloween creature FX devoid of any real suspense. The Devil's Business is less of a thinking man's horror film and more a standard disposable video nasty with a couple of slower, more thoughtful moments thrown in. Genre fans or gorehounds may still find this one worth watching, but anyone else will probably feel it could have been a good deal more than it is.
The premise is simple enough. Two men break into an empty house late at night, and it quickly becomes obvious they're up to no good. At first they seem like petty thieves, but then you realise they've come for the owner, Mr. Kist (Jonathan Hansler). One of the hitmen, Pinner (UK TV character actor Billy Clarke), is your average world-weary professional who's seen it all and just wants this job wound up nice and quiet-like. The other, Cullen (Jack Gordon) is a mouthy wideboy who's having second thoughts, but bottling them up for fear the older man won't be impressed.
They settle down to wait for their target to return home, but little by little both realise they've not been told all the salient facts about the man and why the crimelord paying their wages would want to be rid of him. While Pinner is used to being kept in the dark, it's evident this particular contract is very different from the rest, and that having blundered into it with no knowledge of the things their target is capable of the two men will be lucky to escape the house alive.
The opening scene-setting is intriguing, but worrying at the same time; Clarke proves reasonably good at fleshing out an obvious type like Pinner, but Hogan's script does him few favours. The professional starts out replying in grim monosyllables, but opens up with over-elaborate, flowery lines that come across about as naturalistic as a nice glazed ham done up in purple ribbons - Clarke puts in considerable effort but this is still stilted, theatrical exposition nothing like anything an actual human being would say.
On the other hand, Gordon seems to be playing Cullen as an extension of his eternally chipper rent boy in Philip Ridley's Heartless, all swaggering, gormless bravado masking mounting fear. Oddly enough while this starts out exactly as much of a caricature as it sounds, Cullen is what begins to hint at a better, slightly deeper film under the typical Brit-horror posturing. His incredulous response to the occult souvenirs dotted around the house and pragmatic frustration at the tedium of waiting make the horror hit home a little harder.
And when Hogan starts ramping up the strangeness, however clichéd the production design might be it does briefly feel genuinely, deeply disturbing. While the director chooses a fairly obvious way for Pinner and Cullen to realise just how depraved the man they've come to kill is, Clarke and Gordon sell their reactions surprisingly well; they're actually horrified, not merely nodding their heads. And though they still don't catch on to what's really happening, Hogan manages to get a little amusement out of this (Cullen: "What's a homo-unculus? Sounds gay").
And then the film briefly gets really strange. Some people will probably guess where the story's headed around the half-way mark, but credit to Hogan for setting it up with very little showiness or melodrama. When the two hitmen realise Kist is much, much more dangerous than they gave him credit for, their shock and disorientation feels much more convincing than most genre films ever manage.
All of which sets up the confrontation mentioned earlier, where Hogan could have gone for any number of boo scares but foregoes pretty much all of them. All we see is Cullen sit down for a quiet drink with Kist, but during that time he's forced to admit he's completely out of his depth, and that the world doesn't work in anything like the way he imagined - none of this being wholly original, or masterful cinema, but it's still eerie, haunting stuff by way of pulling the rug out from under you, not pig intestines or rubber masks.
Which makes it all the more disappointing when Hogan falls back on easy boo scares and lazy body horror. It feels as if he can't quite get his head around how to wind things up when his story obviously isn't going to end well - as if he assumes most people will be in it for the nastiness, so he may as well go out with as much splatter and daft creature designs as the budget can stand. There are some disturbing moments here, like Kist's getting the last word in, but most of it is too much like watching someone tread water.
If only Hogan had displayed a bit more ambition, or had more faith in our attention spans this could have been something of a rough diamond. As it is, there are flashes of greatness, but the film feels fairly throwaway on the whole - a haunted house, a Big Bad, a nihilistic twist, some grisly deaths. Too much of it seems designed to push the audience's buttons rather than trying to evoke any kind of emotional response. The Devil's Business has its moments, but for most people it gets a cautious recommendation at best.
(The Devil's Business was screened at the 18th Bradford International Film Festival, held in the UK National Media Museum in Bradford from 19th-29th April 2012.)

Discussion in 'Community' started by wild_karrde, Jul 10, 2001.
WWE should have just let the Shield keep the belts but give goldy and rhodes the victory. This must be Dustin Rhodes last harrah before retiring.
@burrisjedimaster1 Not sure what you are insinuating he is only 44 years old and has alot of years left in him and for someone who hadn't wrestled for a few years he is in really good shape and to me has no evidence of ring rust.
Thats old in WWE standards, but who knows mabey Goldy will get to stay for a few years.
Well Triple H is currently 44 and he has fight in various hard fought matches over this year.
He's also been taking DDP's Yoga plan and he's said it's worked wonders for him.
Is it just me or does it sound weird to hear DDP and yoga plan in the same sentence? I never took DDP as someone into yoga but then again thats just basing on how he looks and how his character is.
Oh and here's a before and after of Jake "The Snake" Roberts after using DDP Yoga (and DDP helping him get clean):
Don't get me wrong I would love to see old Goldie preform for a lot longer but the WWE only has room on the main stage for long term younger talent. To bad TNA couldn't compete against the WWE better. Vince has a Wrestling Monopoly which hurts the industry in my opinion.
@Juliet316 Seems like DDP is really passionate about keeping pro wrestlers in shape which is probably the most common thing to see to our fav. wrestlers they get old so they decide to let themselves go.
Kane has apparently finished filming See No Evil 2 and should be back in November.
If so true will he be back to seek vengeance on the Wyatts or unlike other opponents that they have chosen will he perhaps join them.
Kane is apparently scheduled to team with Cody & Goldust possibly against the Wyatts when he comes back. This suggests he will be a face, but it could of course all be a ruse. The great thing about Kane is his unpredictability, suddenly deciding he wants to be bad is part of what makes him who he is.
It also suggests that perhaps the brothers Rhodes retain the tag team titles against the Shield at Hell in a Cell.
The advertised 6 man tag match is for a November 6th House Show, that is when the Shield are doing stuff overseas. So it could be either way, maybe the Shield are touring as champions and the Rhodes boys are out for vengeance against the Wyatts for costing them the Tag Titles at HIAC....
So not that I am bothered by it but does anyone know why CM Punk has been incorporating the big elbow drop that Macho Man did in his wrestling style now?
He's been doing it for a couple of years now since Savage died as a sort of a tribute to him.
Ah I see I guess I wasn't paying attention that he was till now but its good that he does it it must mean he was such a huge Randy Savage fan to incorporate it into his style.
Yep. You can tell it alot by Punk's wrestling style, which tends to mirror a lot of 80's era Savage.
I love 80s era Savage at least from what I have seen from his old matches from back then. I have said before but when it came to the whole Hogan Vs. Savage feud I was Team Savage. I think when I was younger I imitated Savage.
So last week till Hell in a Cell who do you think they will put in last minute made title matches? Its obvious Brie Bella will face AJ Lee for the Divas title because she recently defeated her in a non title match on Smackdown. The Rhodes will more then likely face The Shield with there rematch clause. But I couldn't say if they even will make a match for the IC title or the U.S. title since neither titles have been pushed with rivlaries right now.
And here is WWE2K14 DLCs announced.
And I wish some of them would come out sooner because some of the wrestlers are awesome that are featured in the various DLC packs. Like for the first time ever you can play as Bruno Sammartino, Dusty Rhodes, Ravishing Rick Rude and more thats apart of there Legends Pack. I also enjoy the available wrestlers you get in there NWO pack.
Bound for Glory results.
Interesting how the website you linked kind of tells it how it is wether there was any hype to the match and stuff.
Well they were writing it up as the PPV was going on.

This is a project. It is only a project.
Math 2 Unit 1 Project: Full stop ahead
Isabelle comisford
Activity One
Assume you are traveling on a dry road and have an average reaction
time. The formula d = 0.044s2 + 1.1s gives you a safe stopping distance d in feet,
where s is your speed in mi/h. Make a table of values for speeds of 10, 20, 30, 40,
50, and 60 mi/h. Then, graph the function.
Activity 2
Suppose a car left a skid mark d feet long. The formulas will estimate the speed (s) in miles per hour at which the car was traveling when the brakes were applied.
*~Use the formulas to complete the table. Round to the nearest mile per hour.
*~Why do you think the estimates of speed do not double when the skid marks double in length? Based on these results, what conclusions can you make about safe distances between cars?
Activity 3
Suppose you are driving on a dry road with 150 ft (about 10 car lengths) between your car and the car in front of you. Use the formula from Activity 1 to find the maximum speed you should be traveling in order to leave a safe stopping distance.
Activity 4
My video is on the bottom!

Hello Friends:
I recently gathered with some of my IT friends.
We are currently debating:
Opening a service IT solution firm niche to physician offices
The goal is to become a one stop shop to small medical practices that has less than 20 physicians....
The biggest push is obviously the EMR reimbursment as well as other incentives...
As i started to do competition research i came up with very few practices that are in the local area that focus only on delivering medical IT solutions...
I am somewhat confused why is that... I know the market is there as in my current position i work with 100+ physician offices and always find that people are looking for assistance..

I was employed by a large heathcare organization in Wisconsin. Two areas of difficulty were the electronic medical record and patient confidentiality (HIPPA) stuff. They were very aggressive and territorial and did not play nice with competition (including start-ups). That was my perpective but that was 20+ years ago. I think there is a need for start-ups that can provide quality IT services to small offices but you have to understand the rules B4 going into the game. You need security and medical record experts unless you are just going to be a storer of data. The one-stop shop is a good idea that has merit and you could probably do it better than the big guys.
Jan 29, 2010 at 7:35 UTC
I my area, the only Market I see service providers specialize in is Banking. It seems to me a company specializing in physicians could be very attractive. Not all vendors understand the constraints (privacy or time) that exist in that environment.
Feb 1, 2010 at 1:56 UTC
I was looking at doing the same thing down here. For a fee we would provide a complete turn key environment. We would offer the EMR, backup, security, SSO, workstations, network connectivity, WOWs(Workstation on Wheels), laptops, printers, and any other IS oriented items. The biggest issue for me is getting the funding to do it.
Feb 4, 2010 at 2:22 UTC
I work in telemedicine for a large state institution, but am working in a project bringing telemed and EMR to small rural hospitals. I don't have direct experience in the operation you're describing, but from what I've observed I can provide a few thoughts.
A big hurdle in bringing in EMR is the difficulty of making everyone happy--nurses, physicians, bookkeepers. This means not only finding the EMR solution that gives each group the features they want, but also in overcoming the idea that EMR will simply mean more work for nurses or bookkeepers or... well never for physicians. :-)
From our IT perspective important selling points are that EMR makes record keeping and billing more efficient, more secure, more accessible. In a properly designed system you are removing the headaches of paper file storage, miscoded billing, scheduling...
But from the clinic perspective there is reluctance to change without a perceived downside to the chaos. For instance a procedure is miscoded and billed to the insurance company, the insurance company refuses payment, both doc and insurance bill patient who then has to make numerous phone calls to straighten out the mess--end result, doc got paid, staff got paid, why change?
Clinics that feel that they are losing money due to poor record keeping or clinics that are in trouble for HIPAA violations are most likely to be your customers.
On the upside for a idea like this, I do hear stories of small practices joining forces via technology in order to survive--a radiologist group that contracts with numerous rural hospitals to read images uploaded to a central server, small hospitals sharing resources via telemed.
Good luck.
Feb 4, 2010 at 2:38 UTC
As Ken said above a difficulty is going to make everyone happy. Well truthfully that will never happen but if you make the Dr happy and the main nurses happy than you have accomplished something. I see to often were people come in and only work on makingthe Dr happy and forget everyone else. The problem with this is the nurses arethe ones that use the applications and systems the most and if they are not happy they can make the Dr unhappy. In my area what I have found that works the best is to provide an experience with the equipment and software that lets them see the time they save using it. The way one Dr told me is if I can shave off 30 sec's a patient I can see and bill 2 more patients in a day. He felt that was more valuable then the savings he would get with better billing.
Good Luck and let us know how you make out.
Feb 15, 2010 at 10:01 UTC
I think you have a great idea. I have seen this exact ideal work multiple times, once a not well planned out idea was launched and doors closed in 10 months. And two others that started in the small medical offices and are not providing to companies that are national.
The idea to remember is you are starting a new business, and business whether it be IT or selling cookies is all about location, location, location. While we in IT can make many support structures available to our clients and ourselves so that we don't have to be anywhere geographically close. We do have to get the word out. And if your in a large city where that has one very large medical group controlling every other office you will have a hard time. Or you could be in a small city with no local medical IT providers but lots of small offices. I have worked in large cities for small firms and small towns for large firms all medical IT my whole career the firms that worked had their name on the tips of the every office manager they could find.
So, after you have a location then you need a plan for people to get know who you are and what you do.
Then you need a plan for who you will provide service to and who you won't as not all practices qualify for the current incentives.
Lastly you need a plan what happens when the doctors are done spending the tax payer money in 4 years.
Good luck

There are a few companies that do this, under the moniker of Health Information Technology. It certainly is a very specific field with a whole host of other requirements (like HIPPA) that are intrinsic to the profession. Being able to understand those needs and implement technology systems that work in that environment is a huge asset.
A few things I've experienced with implementing an EMR:
1. Helping the practice transition from paper to electronic - the key to this is to make the EMR work with their current work/patient flow - not forcing them to change the way they work to fit the program. Having the practice work exactly as they do - only better and EASIER is what's going to get you buy-in from all the staff.
2. Interfacing with lab/diagnostic imaging companies. If they're already working with a lab company (or three) that has their own computer program for sending specimens, getting these two to work together so that data only has to be entered once is huge.
3. Same goes for billing. If it can interface with their current clearinghouse or other billing programs, this is huge. Entering data isn't bad. Entering the same data twice is a PITA that nobody will endorse.
4. Reporting. Depending on the type of practice there may be a variety of reports that need to be generated every month, quarter or year. Making sure that their EMR is set up to capture this information, and then spit it back out in a usable format is gold.
5. Be prepared to explain exactly HOW you will make sure things are HIPPA compliant. It's not enough to say you are - you have to be prepared to explain the nitty gritty of the security, as well as the role that the staff needs to take on to make sure they're not leaving themselves open.
6. If the office has any sort of other IT staff or consultants, be clear on what issues you and your team will handle, and what gets picked up by the others, and on areas that might be shared, have clear protocols and policies for that too.
7. Have a billing expert on your own team or consulting list, as well as somebody well versed in the ins and outs of medical records and all the legalities that go along with it. Not just HIPPA, but things like "how long do I need to keep a patient's records who no longer comes here?"
Hope my rambling is useful to you :)
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

The cast of Housefull 3 recently went to promote their film on a popular comedy show. During the show, Akshay Kumar lost his temper, when a comedian made racist jokes on his co-stars Lisa Haydon & Jacqueline Fernandez.
According to a report in Mid-Day, ''Akshay Kumar lost his temper at a comedian for insulting Jacqueline Fernandez and Lisa Haydon. The jokes performed on the show by seasoned comedians like Krushna Abhishek and Bharti Singh were hilarious, but one comedian took things a little further."

"Akshay and Riteish Deshmukh were already a little uncomfortable when jokes were being cracked on the ladies, but a remark by Siddharth Jadhav angered the usually calm Akshay. Siddharth apparently said that Lisa looked like a kangaroo because she comes from Australia.''

''But things heated up when he passed a racist comment on the actress, calling her a 'black African'. Akshay lost his temper and stepped forward to stop Siddharth. He apparently intended to push the comedian but it turned into a shove and Siddharth went flying on the stage in front of the audience.''
A source also told the daily that Lisa Hayden and Jacqueline Fernandez were so upset after hearing these jokes that they were on the verge of crying. The source also revealed, ''He was upset that the comedians were aware that Lisa wasn't too well versed in Hindi and wouldn't even understand the few lines that the guys uttered. So, he thought it was all the more unfair that one would make fun of a person who didn't even know the language well.''
Well, just like Akki, even we think that these jokes were bad and not funny at all!

Lanvin wows with sheer dresses and feminine suiting for spring '17
Lanvin has offered up flirty and feminine pieces for spring 2017.
Creative Director Bouchra Jarrar presented her highly anticipated second collection for the French label on Wednesday morning (28Sep16) as part of Paris Fashion Week, after taking over from Alber Elbaz in October 2015.
Held at the chandelier-filled salon of the Hotel de Ville, the runway show featured a line up of sheer floaty dresses and tailored suits, mostly in shades of vivid indigo, pearl white and black.
The show opened with a model wearing a white silk suit which is worn over a very long white and navy striped shirt, with oversized blue and white flowers pinned to the breast pocket.
A procession of sheer black chiffon dresses followed, revealing high-waisted blacks briefs underneath. Interspersed through the collection were white evening gowns, some of which were adorned with feathers, buckles or floral posies, while a sleeveless navy satin minidress with ruffles around the hem and matching bright gold fringe necklace proved to be a standout look, as were a pair of dark blue metallic leather trousers.
And celebrities will no doubt be quick to snap up Jarrar's line up of sheer electric blue dresses, which featured flowing trains, pussy bow necklines or halter straps, and were worn sans bra by models.
When it came to accessories, Jarrar went all out, choosing to pair outfits with matching handbags, gold necklaces and brooches. Some models wore embellished high heels, but most strutted their stuff in bedazzled slides and sandals – with the flat shoes injecting a sense of youth into the line.
Speaking prior to the unveiling, the 45-year-old designer said she wanted her garments to be imbued with a sense of lightness and sensuality.
"I know how to optimise a woman's silhouette, no matter what her size," she told The New York Times. "I look at all women: the baker, the mother, the actress, my friends. I am interested in, and curious about, every type of woman."

Andrea Berta was watching Gio Simeone with Genoa
According Todomercadoweb, the sports director for the international market witnessed the match with Milan. He was seen accompanied by Gallliani.
It was a significant presence. Yesterday in Genoa's win over Milan by three goals to zero, was seen in the presence of the stands Atletico sporting director for the international market, Andrea Berta. According to the website Todomercadoweb.com was accompanied Gallliani in a few dates will leave the post of general manager of the Rossoneri. One focus of attention was the evolution of the son of Diego Simeone, Giovanni, who is the top scorer of Genoa and although did not get or rather, has become one of the revelations of Calcio where he arrived this summer.
It has also been dropped that the other reason could be that the Milan again try his hiring as the one to make the great sporting restructuring they need. It is not the first time they have made an offer, but so far the response has always been negative. It feels very happy with what makes the red and whites and is one of the basic parts for Gil Marin and the coaching staff.

Ok People, next July 31st we will be playing our next show at Dingbatz. Through Darkness Descends, 12 bands will be playing at the Darkness Fest 2011. So, be there.. I can guarantee... You dont want to miss this show. The doors will open at 12pm, bands shot the first shot at 12:25pm, so, bring your anti-bullet jacket, cause pure metal will be running into your veins like water through sewerage. Well keep you posted. If you want tickes, we got it for you. Just hit us at FB: www.facebook.com/firehaze and let us know you want one. Tix are only $10.
Hope to see you all there!!! \m/\m/
Hi there!
We, right now, are rehearsing for some upcoming shows we have. Our singer and bass player is on a personal trip to Cuba (our natal country), and the rest of the band is practicing as much as we can. We have some ambitious plans on out hands... We want to play an all FireHaze show with two invited bands... We are on the planing stage, but we think we might do it really soon. So, keep tune to more news about this.
On the other hand, I'm studying as much as I can Adobe After Effect software, for video especial effects. That with Adobe Premiere (wish I already know very well) are gonna be really useful for the Aim to Kill video we are shooting. It's on the filming part yet, but as soon as our singer comes back from Cuba, we will finish it and then it gonna be time for the editing part of the process. I'm Hector by the way, FireHaze's drummer... But Im a graphic designer too, and I'm a lot into all this video clip and film art as well. So, I'm in charge of the video clip of the band, and I'm hopping it'll comes out well. Its a lot of work, and we are just starting, but in a couple of month (if not earlier), the video will be ready for publishing here in Reverbnation. So, stay tune, and tell your friends about us... Hear our fresh finished album, Illuminated by the Fire (keep in mind its a raw version, we haven't master it yet) and comment, tell us what you think.
Take care out there, I hope to hear from you... we will be here... busting out asses to pump pure metal into your fucking veins!

I happily have the next two and a half weeks off from school and want to start looking at mod development on XF. I looked at a couple Have You Seen videos and have been browsing the development forums here, but I'm not sure...what would you suggest as a good place (if there are specific threads or external sites, for example) to start learning about how they're made (particularly with code listeners/helpers/whatever)? I don't have any experience developing for vB, etc. but I hear it's pretty easy to pick up here.
Thanks a lot.

Advertisement - story continues below
Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., came out swinging in Thursday night's Republican presidential debate.
It was a difference in style and substance noted by members of a Texas focus group who overwhelmingly told Republican pollster Frank Luntz that Rubio was the debate's winner.
Luntz released a breakdown of the 23 members of the group. Rubio was named the winner by 16 members; Donald Trump, 4; Ohio Gov. John Kasich, 2; Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, 1. No one named Ben Carson, who at one point asked one of the candidates to attack him so he could get in on the action.
Advertisement - story continues below
Rubio was called "knowledgeable about the issues" and "charming."
"He didn't seem like a mechanical robot, like he usually does when he comes on," one participant said. "This time he was more personable, you know it was snap snap snap, it wasn't something he memorized. It didn't appear that way."
Advertisement - story continues below
Rubio started early, turning the first question he received on immigration away from the treacherous territory of past immigration bills he authored into an attack on Trump.
Do you support Marco Rubio? Like the page:
Rubio also attacked Trump for having a "fake school," referring to lawsuits aimed at Trump University alleging fraud and deception and said was a child of privilege.
Advertisement - story continues below
Trump defended himself and at one point dismissively waved off Rubio's comments, saying the case Rubio was referring to happened 38 years before. "I guess there's a statute of limitations on lies," Rubio retorted.
"If he hadn't inherited $200 million, you know where Donald Trump would be right now? Selling watches in Manhattan," Rubio said.

Mac Calendar Apps Face-Off
Let's compare two calendar apps that do similarly the same thing. Fantastical is a fresh new app while Today has functions that have been around for the last few years. Both of the apps do the same tasks, but differently.
Fantastical is in your Mac's menu bar and features a small window that can be invoked with a click or a custom key combination. It accepts natural language and supports iCal, Google, Yahoo! and Outlook calendars and offers some animations. Color-coding allows for informative, at a glance review and alarm options make appointments easier to remember.
Today, however, can live in the Menu Bar if you want it to, or you can use it as a normal app. Its no-frills main window offers a clear and highly legible overview of what's pending, and hot key combinations can be created to call the app to the front, create an appointment or create a task. Each app has its strong points and weak points.
When entering an appointment both of the apps offer keyboard shortcuts, but only Today features shortcuts for creating an event and creating a task. One can pull up Today's appointment editing window easily, but filling it out requires much scrolling and clicking on drop-down menus. Fantastical is faster in this area. The cost of Fantastical is currently $14.95; Today sells for $24.95.

Sharpstown Tutor Allegedly Did Batman Roleplay Sex Stuff With Underage Student
A math tutor at Sharpstown High School is facing felony charges for an alleged inappropriate relationship with an underage student.
A Sharpstown High School math tutor faces two felony charges related to an alleged inappropriate relationship with a student, according to a Houston Independent School District press release.
Aldo Leiva was charged with sexual performance by a child and possession of child pornography, after the 51-year old instructor was allegedly caught having a sexual relationship with a 17-year old student.
According to the charging document, the 17-year old's mother found nude photos and explicit texts on the girl's phone, including a picture of the girl kissing an older man, who a truancy officer at HISD identified as Leiva before immediately informing HISD police.
Leiva initially denied to investigators that his relationship with the student was inappropriate, claiming he was only her "mentor/teacher/friend/listener." But the girl told police that they started "dating" last summer, when she was just 17, and that they were sexually active together, including trading nude photos on their phones. According to court records, police found evidence of "many sexual conversations and "sexual pictures" on the pair's phones.
Text messages also allegedly showed that Leiva liked superhero-themed role-play; Leiva allegedly referred to himself as "Batman" and called his penis "Robin," and police allege that one photo found on the girl's phone shows Leiva wearing a Batman mask. Leiva allegedly wrote to the girl "I want to poke you with my robin" in a text message exchange that police said occurred during when the girl was in class.
According to the complaint, Leiva induced the girl to send him naked pictures on multiple occasions while she was underage.
HISD said in a press release that the allegations against Leiva were first reported to the district in February, and they immediately notified police. The district said Leiva resigned when he was made aware of the allegations.
"HISD takes situations such as this very seriously, as the safety of students is always the district's top priority," the district said in the release.
A warrant is out for Leiva's arrest, but he is not yet in police custody. He's about 5-foot-6 and 200 pounds. If you see him or know where he might be, you should call Crime Stoppers at (713)-222-TIPS (8477).

I've lost 80 pounds in an effort to attract more women, but I still have that "fat kid" mentality. I just don't think a girl could be attracted to me even though I'm a healthy weight now. When I was younger a girl literally told me no girl would ever like me. Now I've even been told by girls I'm handsome. Any advice?
Most Helpful Girl
Most girls sense lack of confidence, it is in what wear, how you stand, the way you walk, talk and vocabulary. So to help you build the self esteem, read about some body language tips, wear clothes that shows confidence (try to keep it elegant though). And fake it until it will come from you naturally.
That's what I did after I got divorced - faked my self esteem and confidence.00|00|0

She had planned to title her book The Leap, but in fact the great "Eureka!" moments turned out to be something of a myth. Instead, great ideas emerged through an on going process of "drips and drabs, false starts and rough sketches". In other words creative moments are not one offs. Barker offers some thoughts and "takeaways" on the implications of this including :
Barker's advice is directed to the individual more than an organisation, but it also raises some interesting questions about how we encourage involvement, innovation and creativity at work:
1. Do one off activities – team planning away days, brainstorming sessions, suggestion boxes – encourage the on going development of ideas in the way that Vera John-Steiner describes?
2. Are leaders and managers who offer the opportunity to people to contribute their ideas and thoughts at their own discretion, limiting the potential for innovation and creative thought by retaining the control and direction as to when these activities take place?
3. If organisations value innovation and creativity in their people how can it be hard wired into the day to day job? Is this a troubling prospect for a manager, if so why?
4. To what extent is decision making which directly impacts on the customer informed by those who work most closely with the customer?
Whether the driver is higher levels of employee engagement – of which a key pillar is employee voice, or the need to encourage creativity, innovation and ownership, taking a bit of time to think through the logic of our approach will help us understand whether it's really fit for purpose.

Zhi-Wu Inner Kungfu Cultivation—66 Movements
Writen by Xuezhi Hu, edited by Vietanh
Please follow the requirement stipulated in Copyright if you want to copy it
Breif introduction:
Zhi-Wu Inner Kungfu Cultivation is a special movement series that specializes in the cultivation and deployment of inner energy (internal-style). Therefore, it can be practiced to well establish the inner energy system while in the same time lay a sound foundation for any movement-intensive Kungfu practice. Simple and effective, such practice can suit many Qigong fans' practical request for the relaxed and simplified form sets. Furthermore, for Kungfu practitioners, it can well help to strengthen the endurance, enhace immune system, foster the explosive force, increase the flexibility and accomplish the effect of being absent-minded and transformed.
For people who can skillfully master the points of the movements they are advised to quicken the speed of performance and to finish the whole form set within 15 - 30 minutes is ideal enough. For beginners, please perform each movement slowly and progressively.
Movement 1 - 11
Movement 12 -22
Movement 23 - 33
