Welcome to April's BIC E-news
This edition of BIC E-news contains the usual blend of news items from across the globe, but features in particular constitutional-related pieces.
Malaysia has seen internal turmoil and constitutional/judicial crisis. The Malaysian Bar Council has chosen public education as a way of responding to the crisis, exploring the key issues between individual states and the broader government as well as religious and secular tensions. As part of its response, the Bar Association has initiated a public education campaign called 'MyConstitution'. An article from the Bar Council gives an overview of the development of the programme, while a second article by Aniza Damis gives a first hand account of one of the campaign's workshops aimed at students.
Another country bridging social and ideological conflict is South Korea, being as it is geographically linked to its northern neighbour, western trade partners and emerging Asian powerhouse economies. In this issue, Peter Kim, the President of South Korea's Bar Association describes the role of his organisation.

The 5th Annual Bar Leaders' Conference in Copenhagen this May is rapidly approaching. The topics under discussion will be:
I very much look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible to the conference.
The preparations for the 2010 IBA Annual Conference in Vancouver are also well under way. This year our sessions will again be concentrated in a roundtable format and devoted to the client/attorney relationship with special focus on fee arrangements, lawyer liability and the ethical boundaries lawyers face when representing their clients in court.

The 'MyConstitution Campaign'
Despite the numerous constitutional challenges Malaysia has faced in its short history, never have such conflicts arisen as frequently and as furiously as in the last two years. Recognising the need to educate Malaysians on the role, function and content of the Federal Constitution, the focal initiative of the Bar Council's Constitutional Law Committee's work was to conduct a first ever nationwide educational and awareness campaign entitled 'MyConstitution Campaign' or 'Kempen PerlembagaanKu'.

Aniza Damis's attends a 'MyConstitution Campaign' student workshop
If you had the world to do over again, what would you do differently? Who would you choose as citizens of your new world? And who would you turn down? What rights would these citizens have? And how protected would these rights be? And if you could draft a new constitution, how would it read? These, and more, were what some law students at Taylor's University College had to grapple with at a recent MyConstitution workshop.
Entitled Reconstituting Earth v.2.0, the students are told the following - Earth is about to be destroyed, and all its inhabitants will perish. But another planet has been identified, which 'looks like Earth and sounds like Earth, but we're not sure if it will be like Earth'. An auto-pilot spaceship has been made, but it can only accomodate six people. Assuming that the new planet (Earth v.2.0) has no one living on it, a new world order has to be created.
Working in groups of eight, the students have to choose six from a list of 25 people of different identities and skills to be the ones to go to Earth v.2.0. The decision for each choice must be unanimous.
IBAHRI conducts first parliamentary strenthening course in Macedonia
The IBAHRI held a parliamentary strengthening course in Macedonia in early November. The course, aimed at local parliamentarians, focused on the role of parliament in upholding the rule of law and the implementation of constitutional and human rights obligations. The course considered how the Macedonian Parliament already incorporates human rights scrutiny into its legislative process. The potential for strengthening existing procedures was covered, using examples of best practice and case studies from other jurisdictions.
Peter Kim, President of South Korea's Bar Association
Peter Kim has taken up the position as President of South Korea's Bar Association as the country becomes increasingly influential in a fast changing world.
It's difficult to overstate the importance that South Korea has taken on in recent years. The country is ideally positioned – neighbouring North Korea – to assist in advancing the cause of human rights and the rule of law in one of the world's most feared pariah states. Meanwhile, on the commercial front, Korea's relations with Asian powerhouse economies of China, Japan and the leading Western economies is likely to prove influential in reshaping the status quo of the world's beleaguered financial system.
New Legal Services Bill
The Law Society of Scotland has welcomed the introduction of the Legal Services (Scotland) Bill as helping to drive forward its agenda for change. Michael Clancy writes about the choice of model, role of the regulators and the opportunities presented by the bill.
Bicentenary of the restoration of the Bars
The Paris Bar is preparing to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the restoration of the Bars by Napoleon. They had been abloished during the French Revolution. The anniversary celebrations will take place in Paris, 24-26 June, as part of an international event attended by Persident Sarkozy.
News items from the the Sofia Bar Association
The new Family Code has entered into force on 1 October 2009. The most substantial amendment in comparison with the old Family Code is the abolition of the compulsory unity marital system. The spouses can now choose between the legal unity system, the legal severalty system and the signing of a nuptial agreement – a system closer to the marital systems of the other European and the American legal systems. The spouses to marriages entered into prior to the adoption of the new Family Code could switch to the legal severalty system or to sign a nuptial agreement if they so wish.
The new administration of the Condominium Act which entered into force on 1 May 2009 provides for the voluntary creation of Associations of the owners, with the object the administration of the communal parts of apartment houses. The Associations will have legal status similar to those of most European countries. Under the Act, the administration of communal portions of buildings within closed residential complexes shall be performed via notarised agreements which must be registered in the real estate's file in the Real Estates' Registry.

(Radolfzell/Germany) Allweiler AG, a Colfax business unit, will deliver fuel-injection skids through Siemens AG for use in gas turbines in Iraq. The first two systems will be completed in early 2011. The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity has ordered an additional five skids and has options to purchase three more. All of the systems have the special ability to switch between several different liquid fuels without shutting down the turbines. They will be integrated into expanded power plants in Kirkuk as well as new plants that will be constructed in Baiji and Baghdad.
These fuel injection skids are designed for redundancy with two highpressure pumps. The gas turbines can be operated with 'EL' fuel oil and 'S' heavy oil or 'EL' fuel oil and crude oil. Switching between the various fuels is completed within approximately two minutes while the turbines continue to run. 'This was the biggest technical challenge in the development of these skids. But our solution to this requirement gave us the edge we needed to win the contract,' according to Stefan Kleinmann, Vice-President of the Industry business segment and member of the management boar d at Allweiler AG. Allweiler AG is a systems supplier with special expertise in power plant engineering, including decades of experience and highly specialized know-how in this field.
When switching between fuels, the system must withstand temperature differences of more than 120 °C without interruption. Johann Engelmann, Director of Sales and Service, offers his perspective: 'When the turbine is started, we're pumping low-viscosity fuel oil within a temperature range of 5 to 25 °C, but during normal and continuous operation the system is moving higher-viscosity crude and heavy oil at temperatures up to 130 °C. The temperature change is on the order of 60 °C per minute.' As a result, the system must have the ability to compensate for temperaturerelated changes. Precise control of liquid pressure before and after the pumps is critical for proper operation. If pressure decreases during the fuel changeover, gas bubbles will form in the liquid and may result in severe damage to the pumps and emergency shutdown of the turbines. Highly-refined valve control with fast reaction times can prevent this from occurring.
The pumps used in the system produce 287 kW of drive power; discharge pressure is approximately 100 bar at a liquid temperature of 130 °C.

Mumbai, Feb 25 (IANS) "Slumdog Millionaire" child actors Azharuddin Ismail and Rubina Rafiq can now leave the squalor of their slum homes, courtesy the Maharashtra government which Tuesday night announced that both would be given a flat each.
Azharuddin Ismail Shaikh Usman and Rubina Rafiq Asghar Ali Qureshi are residents of Garib Nagar slum in Bandra East, Mumbai. They played the youngest version of the lead characters in the Oscar-winning film and were flown to the US for Hollywood's biggest awards ceremony Sunday.
Chief Minister Ashok Chavan announced gifting the two a flat each from the chief minister's quota.
"Slumdog Millionaire" won eight Oscars at the 81st annual Academy Awards -- almost following the fairytale journey of its hero in the movie.
The Mumbai unit of the Congress party had approached Chief Minister Ashok Chavan Tuesday evening on the matter.
Rubina's father Rafiq is a casual carpenter while Azharuddin's father Ismail trades in old furniture.

This shot was taken in keukenhof Gardens in Holland. What was surprising was not seeing the face on the tree when I took the photo but seeing it later when I was looking at it in ACDSee. It was surprising to learn that that the Dutch often do this with the trees when we went the next year. I used a Nikon D70 with a Shutterspeed of 1/60s at F4.5 and Focal length of 56mm. The tripod was a very necessary aspect of the shot and required many attempts before I got this winner pic.

The difference between 'no' and 'yes' is not as great as Scots think
You probably already knew that Adam Smith, capitalism's first great economist, was a Scot. Alex Salmond certainly does, to judge by the number of times he has cited Mr Smith when explaining Scotland's proud history and his hopes for independence.
What you, or indeed Mr Salmond, may not have realised is that Mr Smith was also a big fan of the Union. The Wealth of Nations reads like a paean to Great Britain, peppered with examples of how Scotland was better off within the Union — how its terms of trade improved, how prices of key exports, such as cattle, increased.
Mr Smith, born 16 years after the 1707 Act of Union, even claimed that it meant "the middling and inferior ranks of people in…

You couldn't pay me to be a Dallas cop.
And then there are Dallas cops you couldn't pay. They do the job for free.
Six more were added to the roll of the Dallas Police Reserves last week, the first bump to the unpaid, all-volunteer police unit in five years.
Officials are hopeful it won't be nearly that long before others sign on. Maybe you?
Me, I want no part of the stress, the danger and the idiots inherent in police work. But I can't tell you how grateful I am others are willing to do it — especially the few working for free.
These newest six are an interesting bunch, reflecting the amazing diversity of the city they now serve. Three were born in other countries. One is a medical student. One is a patent lawyer and software developer. Three are former paid officers.
Now all are full-fledged, badge-wearing, gun-toting Dallas cops in every sense. They can do the work of any other officer.
Bob Lopez and Cedric Taylor already know they will be patrolling southeast Dallas on the deep-nights shift.
Lopez, a native of Costa Rica, works in a family painting business by day and wants to pull several police shifts a week. Taylor, a former Midlothian officer, is a JROTC instructor in DISD. He plans lots of police work in the summers and as feasible during the school year.
Reserve officers commit to only two shifts a month, but most work many more.
Just becoming a Dallas Reserve officer takes work. They must be graduates of an outside police academy and hold state law-enforcement certification.
For lawyer-software developer Ed Kaplonski, that meant attending the police academy at Eastfield College for 10 months, five nights a week.
The reserve recruits then spend four months in the Dallas Police Department's own training program at night and on some Saturdays.
"It's been tough," conceded Kaplonski's wife, Noel, who pinned the badge on him at Wednesday night's swearing-in ceremony. "I've spent about a year by myself at night. And I'm a little nervous. But I'm exceedingly proud."
Med-school student Faroukh Mehkri was born in India but grew up here. While a student at Rice University, he became interested in paramedic work and then police duties.
But he was conflicted. He wanted to be a doctor. "I never thought I could put being a cop with being a doctor, but then I met two guys who do it," he said.
He means physicians Alex Eastman and Jeff Metzer, who are also Dallas reserve officers and work as "SWAT docs." And there's a third doctor in the reserve unit, Jay Belmarez.
I had the same question for the six new unpaid officers that they get from friends and family: "Why?!"
Joe Castaldo left the Addison Police Department in 2012 for more lucrative work in bank security. The old job still tugged.
"You just miss it," he said. "You miss the work with the community, and you miss the camaraderie with the other officers."
Lopez may have said it best: "I've always said cops are born to be cops."
That would explain the lifelong desire of insurance agent Tony Bardales to get into police work. As I talked with the native of El Salvador on Wednesday night, his mom chimed in.
"Since he was 3 or 4 years old, he's been playing cops and robbers," Sandra Gonzalez said.
Bardales laughed and confessed, "It's definitely something I always wanted."
I'll second something Kaplonski's wife said: "I hope people appreciate the commitment these guys have made." Amen for all 85 men and women of the reserve battalion.

ubuntu does not start
I have a pc that cannot startt. The error gave is:
Starting Eprints Indexer
Eprints system error
we appear to be running as user : root
we expected to be running as user : eprints
eprints system error inducing stack dump at /opt/eprints3/perl_lib/eprints.pm line 91, line 123 and line 171
I can login with any user in a console but i'm not able to launch GUI, system doesnt repont to ping, init5 launch GUI but screen is freeze and does not show nothing.
There is a way to change the user that launch this application? Or any way to change the user who launch a service? I dont know how to repair this
Best regards
Sounds like that eprints service, whatever it is, is causing a problem. Since you can get to a console, you can remove it from system startup, and the system should then boot normally. After that, you can try to start it manually, and perhaps get more information. Sounds like the problem isn't with Linux, but with that app.
the system has installed ubuntu 7.10
Can you tell me how to remove a service manually from startup? Problem started when I was updrading system to newer version (8.04 if I remember well) and I had an electricity cut
And how to stop that service, depends on how it's installed/run. Some will put an entry into /etc/rc.local, some will have an /etc/rc.d/rc5.d (or rc3.d, etc.), entry to start it there, some will install in different places. Since it's not part of Linux, it's hard to put a finger on how it's run. Read the documentation that came with it.
And given the fact that you were in mid-upgrade when the system died, chances are, you'll have a LOT more problems than this one service. Best thing to do would be to backup your data (if you haven't already), and do a fresh install of the latest Ubuntu, then restore.
what Distro
This can happen due to wrong updates being applied. Ubuntu Gutsy for example can download 9.X updates. Make sure GRUB is loading properly.

Corey Borden, 24, was last seen along Fey Road just west of Port Angeles at about 1 p.m. after he ditched his car and ran into the nearby woods, Michael Woodhouse, community corrections officer, said Thursday.
Woodhouse said a corrections officer driving along U.S. Highway 101 saw Borden driving the other way, turned around and followed him, knowing Borden had an arrest warrant for failing to report to his corrections officer.
Borden is 5-feet-9-inches tall, weighs 260 pounds and has brown hair and blue eyes, said Jeri Boe, community corrections supervisor for Clallam and Jefferson counties.
Woodhouse said Borden was last seen wearing a white sports jersey and jeans.
Woodhouse said anyone who sees Borden should call 9-1-1.
Bordon was sentenced in October 2012 for delivery of oxycodone, court documents say.
Borden's sighting triggered an organized search of the woods around Fey Road by officers from the Department of Corrections, Port Angeles police, Elwha tribal police and Clallam County Sheriff's deputies, said Brian Smith, deputy Port Angeles police chief.
It was called off after about an hour, Smith said.

Remember the premiere of Mack Dawg's Chulksmack at the Oakley headquarters last October? Well we do … kind of. After that premiere we received a hangover and a sick Chulksmack poster from Oakley framed in metal with Jeremy Jones hammering it on a huge handrailing. Wouldn't that poster look nice in my room, I thought? But sure enough, we interns always get shut down. Instead we have been scrambling our brains trying to figure out a clever giveaway for this rad/awesome poster.
So we scratched our heads and decided that whoever comes up with the best definition for Chulksmack will win our blessing and this framed poster. The rules of the game include a witty definition and a photo of yourself.
If you win, you'll get the poster, and we'll put your picture and definition on the TransWorld snow site. So for everyone who's searching for their fifteen seconds of fame send us your ideas—the more creative the better.
Email your crazy ideas to us at firstname.lastname@example.com, put Chulksmack in the subject ite!

Bulls Miami Showdown
Derrick Rose, Lebron James, Dwyane Wade are all playing in one series! The three best finishers in the NBA go head to head. Right now the series is 1-1 and I can tell already this is going to be a roller coaster series.
Let's look at Miami- To start, Lebron James has been the brunt of the Miami offense. He has done a good job so far in getting to the hole and making big shots during the waning minutes of the game. Lebron needs to use his versatility to make things happen. He needs to capitalize on Bull's turnovers and then convert those turnovers into points on the other end. Another thing Lebron needs to do is to make sure his team stays away from those dreaded scoring droughts. When Lebron isn't producing he needs to get his other players involved. Far too often, Miami does not score for 5-10 straight minutes and that allows the other team to bounce back and then gain momentum. Just yesterday, the big three on Miami went 10.5 minutes without scoring while the Bulls came surging back. Before you knew it, the Bulls were rolling and then they even got their crowd into it and that is a great plus for the home team. Next, Dwyane Wade has to show his presence. He can let Lebron run the show sometimes but he has to step up and bring what he's got to the table. Wade has to break down the defense by attacking the rim relentlessly. The Bulls are defensive stalwarts, so Wade has to spread the floor. If Wade can get the Bulls up and moving on D, he will be able to use his great footwork to get to the paint and finish. Additionally, Chris Bosh has to win the match up between him and Boozer. Bosh can't play a quiet role in this series nor does he have to score 20 points. Bosh has to clean up the boards and pull the occasional offensive rebound and get the tip in. Lastly, Udonis Haslem has to be Miami's defensive specialist. He needs to gobble up every board and he just has to outwork Noah.
Now let's look at the Bulls
Derrick Rose has to take advantage of his matchup against Mike Bibby. He needs to to get the ball into the paint and make the Miami defense rotate. Once in the paint, Rose needs to look for Noah and Boozer to finish down low. Miami will have to pick up Rose leaving his next teammate open. Rose needs to be aggressive as well. He needs to lead his team on offense and that's the bottom line. Next, Luol Deng has to be another leading offensive force. Deng has been consistent all year so I honestly think this won't be a problem for him. However, he needs to shutdown Lebron down on defense like he did in game 1. Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah have to take advantage of their size. They need to finish strong in the interior as well as create second chance opportunities.
In the end, either team can win, but I think Miami with send the MVP home.

Sport: Football
Hoddle sets out defence
The Hoddle story is stretched over many pages
Glenn Hoddle launched a public bid to "put the record straight" as he fought in vain to save his job as England football manager.
His agent Denis Roach also defended his client on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, saying he remained the best man for the England job.
Hoddle wasted little time in trying to explain himself after Saturday's newspaper was published.
He also spoke of the work he had done with disabled charities.
Hoddle was quoted in Tuesday's Mirror newspaper as being unwilling to talk about charity work, because "of the obvious reaction that would get".
The latest interviews instead concentrated on further explanation of his comments, with a plea for people to reassess exactly what he said.
He also maintained his attack on The Times, the paper that reported the fateful interview.
'My conscience is clear'
Monday night's ITN interview saw him distance himself from the controversial interpretation of his words.
"The only reason people are saying I should resign is that they are saying I have come out and said that people disabled and handicapped have been paying for their sins - and I have never ever said that," he told Trevor McDonald. "I don't believe that."
He said the hurt caused by the reporting was "more important than any football job", although he would not resign over something he did not say.
He did mention charity work to ITN and said "that is the reason why I can put my head on the pillow at night".
Future suffering
In The Mirror Hoddle was quoted as saying he was not one to "come out with stupid remarks to cause controversy".
He argued that his views were motivated by good intentions: "I'd like answers to try and stop future generations suffering."
The suggestion that disabled people deserve what they get was "an obscene thought".
He was "only too happy" to talk to disabled people hurt by the reports. They simply had to get in touch.
Reputation on line
But as far as The Times was concerned, he admitted he had not been misquoted, just misinterpreted.
Yet he said subsequent accusations of him being heartless and cruel were unfair and upsetting.
He added: "If I get sacked for this, then that is something I will have to face up to."

Well, it isn't actually possible to download the court's opinion from their website -- I am guessing due to the large number of download requests...

Concerned I soon may run out of entertaining stories to tell, I figured I'd better get pregnant. So I did.
Actually, I was blind sided by a positive pregnancy test a few weeks ago, having no intention of bearing another child until Ella was at least a couple of months beyond her third birthday. Had I known how terribly sick I would be, I very likely may have begun the adoption process instead.
The person who came up with the term ''morning sickness'' had to have been an ill-informed male (or one with very poor observational skills, if you can imagine). I have yet to meet a woman whose nausea during pregnancy was limited to the a.m. hours. Right now, ''morning sickness'' sounds wonderfully welcome to me, since I'm experiencing what seems to be ''never ending sickness'' - or at least perpetual ''might-retch-at-any-minute'' syndrome.
How did I allow this to happen again during the winter months? (I became pregnant with my daughter at nearly the exact same time three years ago.) I hate winter as it is, now add to it I cannot leave the windows open for any helpful amount of time to release the stale, nauseating air of my house, nor can I comfortably take a walk. What misery.
Having already given birth once, I actually can say I'd prefer being in labor over this horrid feeling - and that's 45 hours of unmedicated labor. At least it was just 45 hours (that's the first time I've ever said THAT).
more Lewis columns
Feeling sorry for myself in this obvious way I have tried to immerse myself in books that relate others' suffering, hoping to diminish the magnitude of my plight - at least in my head. Reading Lance Armstrong's accounts of his battle with cancer reminded me of my actual luck, for instance. Though I was much less empathetic about his struggles vying for the Tour de France title. What's three weeks on a bike compared to potentially three months of ''morning sickness?'' (Even if he DID do it five times?)
So it's a while longer with my saltines and Gatorade, my bedside barf basket and my motivational books. At least my hair isn't falling out ... I think that happens just after the birth.

Mountain Bike for Touring South America
I am planning a tour through South America, Argentina, Chili, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Columbia, etc. Lots of rough roads so I was thinking of taking my mid-1990's Trek 7000 mountain bike instead of my Surly LHT (56cm, 700C). The Trek has decent mid range machinery, and I think I can install F&R racks and fenders. It is essentially a free bike to me, so no great loss if it is destroyed/stolen in contrast to the LHT into which I have a lot of recent $$$ invested.
Question: any reason NOT to do this.
I'm sure I would have to customize it a bit (new wide tires, etc).
All thoughts appreciated.
Just eschew any thing with a suspension fork.. 1 less thing to fail ..
559 tire size is really widely available..:thumb:
continental travel contact was made as their ride past the end of the pavement tire ..
Id bring at least 1 more tire along..
I'm especially interested in attaching racks and fenders. I have a set of Tubus racks on the LHT, and it would be great if I can make them fit and use the extra mounting holes they have to mount fenders, as the Trek only has 1 set of mounts per axle. No mid fork mounts, but I can get P clip type mounts.
I am also probably going to replace the quill stem with threadless and go for a more comfortable handlebar solution to get more hand positions and adjustability.
Check out the Bike Grease and Coffee blog. He was in Maine a year ago, rode to Florida, and is now in South America.
It's a fat tire bike, and he sometimes goes way off road with it.
Hi Larry
I'm curious as to why you dont believe in your LHT?
If the Trek gave out on you, you'd still be out of pocket due to the expense of getting it up to scratch.
I wonder what that money might do for the LHT.
If you replaced the cassette, bottom bracket, free hub, chain and front rings, serviced the wheels (spoke tension and bearing grease), in what way might the LHT prove to be unreliable?
I understand spares for 700c might be thin on the ground in some of those places but you'll be touring and not mountain bike racing.
Oh and repack the pedal grease and tension bearings as well as repack the headset bearings.
Has the Trek more spokes than the Trucker?
The trucker is purpose built and I'd lean toward trusting that build if you've done the above which is what I'd do for any upcoming tour of greater than a months duration.
Are you familiar with Cass Gilberts blog http://www.whileoutriding.com/
Lots of South American stuff in there and Cass favors 29 types of bike although he's also done 26er.
Good luck with your choice and look forward to hearing more about it.
Gotta laugh reading the first page to find mention of Cass Gilbert whom I linked to in my above post prior to reading your link.
I like the LHT I built. It served me well across Europe last year, getting me from UK to Budapest, almost all on hard sealed roads. I did bend a rim on a very rocky trail when I went too fast with the fully loaded bike, and had to buy a rim to continue. I was in France, lost while navigating the Loire, on a detour. The rim was one I had purchased with a dynohub as a package and was not of high quality, and has since been replaced.
Finding a shop and getting the rim installed took a day, and actually added to the interest of the trip - but this was France, and I suspect it could be a different story if I were halfway up a mountain in the Andes.
I keep reading about using 26 inch bikes for remote locations due to availability of rims and tires. I suppose I could build or buy a true expedition quality 26 inch based bike ($$$$) and equip it fully, and would actually enjoy the build. Sitting here in my home though is this 1995 Trek 7000 non-suspension mountain bike. Add tires and racks and go.
Lets assume that servicing on both bikes is equal, as I can just as easily do the maintenance on either. I can carry spare foldable tires for each. Rims are another matter though, and I do not imagine carrying a spare is practical. I have visions of a donkey with FEDEX on its flanks, trudging up a dirt mountain road while I develop an extended relationship with the locals.
I'll read the material you referred to and think about it some more.
I just think the LHT has already proven itself to be a capable and comfortable(?) bike to tour on, hence you having to think about it.
I cant remember the size off the top of my head but I was actually impressed with the tire fatness the LHT could manage without fenders.
I think big tyres are good for comfort and go a good way towards rim protection given enough air in them.
I utilise Velocity Dyads which are narrow by current mountain bike standards but I still happily use a 50x622 (28x2.00) tire on them.
In fact for around town day to day stuff I use a 60x622 (28x2.35) but prefer the former 2 inch wide and lighter tire for touring (marathon supreme with back up of 2 inch Mondials for rough stuff).
I stick with approx 30-35psi which appears ample with out coming close to pinch flats nor too much drag whilst being easier on the rims than high pressure in high volume tires.
Rims tend to suffer failure from too much pressure with high volume tires, pinch flat impacts from too low pressure or high impact more common with mountain bike style of aggressive riding as main culprits, from my experience and forum reading.
Running wider tires and lower end pressures seem easier on them from what I've gleaned from personal experience and reading of others opinions and stories of failures.
Serviced hub and properly tensioned spokes tend to go a long way toward longevity in wheels and theres plenty of people touring on 700c wheels where prudence might suggest angels fear to tread.
Terminal failures are not impossible but I think rarer than many fear.
A good collection of appropriate sized spokes taken with you and perhaps more left with someone able to post may alleviate some of the stress of the unknown with its accompanying paranoia.
Edit: I just checked out the Surly site which claim:
"700c: 42mm with fenders, 45mm without fenders Individual tire and rim combos affect tire clearance"
Which offer a good range of fat tires to help protect your rims in off road conditions with the caveat of a cautious approach to loaded touring on less than ideal surfaces.
Oh and good call with the dynohub.
I wouldnt be without mine and its B&M E-werk to keep my speedo/gps, my phone and lights going.
Currently in the process of building up an extra-wheel trailer with a second dynohub to act as both water carrier and laptop and camera gear charging unit.
Maybe I should take the LHT and strap the 26 MTB on the back as a spare....
A serious question tho, the Trek is an aluminum framed bike, big tubes - any issues with that?
If the aluminum is a liability, I guess I could buy a steel frame and fork and transfer all the running gear over.
As long as the parts are solid, I would go with the trek. Decent replacement parts for 700c wheels are hard to find, especially if you want big tires. Getting new parts fedexed can be a nightmare. I had a set of v brakes stuck in customs in chile for two weeks.
Also, does your lht have drops? Do you like riding dirt roads on drops? I don't, I used a drop bar 26"' lht for my 7 month trip through South America. Pretty much the only thing I would have changed was using flats bars instead of drops. I don't find hoods to be comfortable on rough roads, of which there are many.
Either way you'll have a great trip.
steel is easier to weld than aluminum
People do break frames, but like wheels, its not common.
For more than anecdotal evidence I could offer you more blog reading but you already have heaps of reading material been given.....
To hell with it, I'll offer up one of the most inspirational blogs for me that got my traveling mojo worked up enough to kick start my across Australia tour:
Instead of me searching out his pictures showing bike frame as well as trailer frame breakages and how he dealt with them, I say get your reading goggles on and get perusing GJ's "Three Bike Touring Bloggs" starting with "Heading West"
http://www.cycletrailsaustralia.com/7b-blog/ click on http://www.cycletrailsaustralia.com/...g/heading-west
As for catastrophic failure, the GJ approach suggests.........
Nah, you read it!
I built up two 80s mountain bikes for my South American tour in March, but I'm likely going to buy an LHT frame (26") and switch the parts over. The geometry just doesn't feel quite right on my Jamis Dakota.
I do think the 26" wheels are a big deal, and if the LHT is a 800 the Trek may definitely be the best option. Or sell the 700 and buy a 26 :)
I agree the 26 wheels are a big deal.
** Update **
I have decided to take the old Trek hard tail mountain bike to South America, and just ordered a set of new 26 inch wheels to replace the stock that came with the bike (they were 32 spoke, in OK shape, but I don't need any surprises on tour this year as bike plus gear weight is 78 lbs and I am 188.
I ordered this custom build wheelset from Peter White (Great advice from them):
Velocity Rims 559 Aeroheat silver 36h MSW
Wheelsmith DB14 stainless Spokes
Velocity hub r SH 8/9/10 135mm 36h black
Schmidt SON28 36h polished
Velox rim tape 17mm
Build new wheel, labor
My thinking with this order is to use these wheels as the basis of a new touring bike build with a new steel frame next year, but for now they will go on the Trek.
I mounted my Tubus racks from my LHT
I mounted Front and Rear dynamo lights and a USB charger all from the LHT build of last years tour.
I mounted Planet Bike 65mm plastic fenders.
I took the fully loaded bike out for a ride test and it is handling the load very well so far on paved roads.
Now I have to order some Schwalbe Marathon Mondial or Plus Tours 26 x 2 F&R. Heavy but strong.
Thanks to all that advised here. I'll post pics of the final build.
1 Attachment(s)
Happy Days! Thanks to all for helping me with the decision on what bike to take to South America, my trusty 700C LHT or my 18 year old Trek 7000 mountain bike, suitably modified.
I decided to build up the Trek 7000 mountain bike for this trip. Major improvement was to install a set of 26" custom wheels from Peter White. Strong and stout, with Schwalbe Marathon Mondial 26 x 2.15 monster truck tires.
I upgraded the cassette to 11-34 8 speeds from the original 7 speed. No other changes needed. All other running gear is original midrange Shimano STX, except the Brifters never worked so replace with new old stock.
All the luggage, lights and gizmos came over from the Surly LHT. I installed a Trekking handlebar and love it. Seat is Selle Anatomica Titanico.
The front wheel was built with a Schmidt SON28 dynamo. It powers the B&M LED headlight and tail light that I carried over from the LHT, and provides power to charge up a battery pack that I use to top off my Garmin Edge 810 GPS and smartphone as needed.
The wheels arrived yesterday, and I worked all evening to get the tires on, cassette installed, deraileur adjusted for the extra gear and even installed new orange KoolStop brake pads. It was 11:30pm and pouring rain in Florida last night when I finished, but I took the beast out of a test ride, made some adjustments and loved it.
Here's the completed build waiting for the Ortliebs:
I enjoyed the build so much, and really like the new wheels and tires combination. So much so that I think I may buy a new steel frame, thinking Surly Troll or LHT 26, and move the components except for the 700C wheels over from the LHT in the stable, since I can only ride one bike at a time while I am adventuring across South America. The Trek looks good to go, but I will always have that aluminum frame to keep me up at night.

International Record Store Day is less than a month away, scheduled for the third Saturday in April. This year, that falls on April 21st. What is Record Store Day you might ask. It's the day the world celebrates the art of music, bringing together musicians, their fans, and record stores the world over.

Skip to comments.Rand Paul in South Carolina on Inauguration day
Posted on 01/21/2013 1:00:26 PM PST by JohnPDuncan
As President Barack Obama was sworn in ceremonially for a second term Monday, the early primary state of South Carolina hosted a man who may vie to succeed him.
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is the Inauguration Day guest at the Charleston Meeting, a South Carolina-based conservative power event hosted by businessman Mallory Factor.
The event is an offshoot of the Monday Meeting, a regular conservative gathering Factor helped launch in New York.
A top Paul adviser confirmed his attendance at the meeting. The first-term Republican will also speak to the media this afternoon.
Factor was among those who traveled with Paul to Israel on his recent trip.
Paul is the featured speaker at the Charleston Meeting, along with National Rifle Association President David Keene. Paul recently defended the NRA against criticism from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie over a Web video invoking President Barack Obamas children.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Now that we have an open Pres Election again I think Rand would be a good choice.
Rand Paul scares the hell out of the left right now!!!!
Expect some attacks on Rand inth next 6-12 months as they work to de-ligitimize him as a possible presidential contender in 2016.
They will also look to put Chris Christie on a pedistal as their "fall guy" for 2016. Of course after the RNC convention in 2016 should Krispy Kreme be picked they will of course betray him.
it's funny when he gets a mention on Huffpooh there are thousands and thousands of comments.
They hate and fear him for a reason.
its funny when he gets a mention on Huffpooh there are thousands and thousands of comments.
They hate and fear him for a reason.
He is the best hope of saving the republic in terms of a Republican Candidate for President. I fear he will be intentionally damaged goods by the left in the whole media narritive by the time 2016 rolls around...
I don't blame him. Classless morons booed Paul Ryan at the ceremony. I'd like to see a list of Republicans who didn't show up. Paul Ryan is a good and decent man. The 0bama minions are anything but.
These people fear no one. Why should they? They are drunk on power, partying hard today, feeling their liquor, riding high.
Dividing Republicans and conservatives against themselves has proven to conquer all their opposition, and they enjoy the game.
Put up a name, ANY name, and they watch us take the bait and squabble endlessly among ourselves until WE destroy the name they throw out there.
Today it is Rand Paul. Tomorrow, it will be a different conservative, until we put up a socialist Republican, again. Then, they beat him with a Marxist.
We need to wise up, bring ourselves together and get organized to overcome our own disunity.
Who says we'll have an open election in 2016? Who says we'll have a presidential election in 2015 at all?
SC sounds good to me! I'd rather be as far away from DC as possible too. This whole day just makes me sick.
I think that's silly, as bad as Obama is he's out in 2016 and will be a lame duck in less than 18 months. so don't worry, get organized... "LIKE" Rand Paul on facebook.com/RandPaul2010
Now there is a guy with conviction.
Classless morons booed Paul Ryan at the ceremony. Id like to see a list of Republicans who didnt show up. Paul Ryan is a good and decent man. The 0bama minions are anything but.
THANK YOU!! On another thread, I was pummelled when I stood up for Paul Ryan. He IS a decent man. I am sick of the GOP going after itself. Eating your own never works. The left never ever does this. Can't we learn anything?
You really think they won't be able to manufacture something big enough to keep Obama in office until he dies?
no they won't. he's gone in 2016, term limited.
Plenty here who hate him because they hated his dad. I don't.
Good for Rand Paul.
For sure there won't be a Presidental election in 2015.
Considering the last 4 years, do you really think Obama cares about the Constitution?

Charities have got to respond to increased competition and fast-paced developments in the way people consume information, while remaining buoyant enough to flourish in straightened times. However, instigating and managing strategic change, particularly in well established charities that have a strong history and a longstanding and loyal supporter base, can be extremely difficult.
I became chief executive of The Lullaby Trust, formerly the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID), in April 2011. I was recruited following the retirement of the charity's former director, who had been in post for 20 years.
I have just spent the last two years persuading trustees, bereaved parents and key supporters that we needed to relaunch, change our name and set a goal for reducing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
When I arrived, FSID was in good shape financially and was hugely respected in the healthcare world. In the early 90s, we had been in the forefront of spectacularly successful public health campaigns to persuade parents to place babies on their backs to sleep. This led to a 70% reduction in SIDS. However, the impact of our campaigning and the dramatic decline in the numbers of newly bereaved parents also meant a decrease in the charity's profile. Yet, 20 years on, SIDS is still claiming the lives of five babies every week.
Before I took the job on, I asked medical colleagues whether it was possible to reduce SIDS and how we compared with other developed countries. I was told that our SIDS rate was one of the highest in the world and that it was possible to halve the number of deaths if all parents practiced safe sleep.
On being appointed, my questions to the trustees were: if it was possible to reduce deaths still further, where is the plan to make this happen, and why aren't we doing it? No commercial business would carry on for 40 years without a review, but this was not something FSID had ever seriously attempted before.
The charity had started life as a body to raise funds for medical research, with a network of local support groups run solely by bereaved parent volunteers, often from their own homes. These parents had put their hearts and souls into FSID and had helped the charity to achieve great things. However, past success convinced some influential trustees that nothing needed fixing. I was lucky to have the support of the chair of the board, but it was clear from the outset that if I we were to effectively manage the change process we needed to:
• Adopt a sensitive approach, acknowledging the emotional attachment trustees had to the old identity and FSID's historical achievements.
• Put a strong business case for change.
• Develop a three-year plan.
• Set a target, to halve SIDS deaths by 2020.
• Undertake a communications audit.
Over the last decade, the landscape has changed and 74% of infant deaths happen in the poorest communities. SIDS has become a health inequality issue. Mothers under 20 are now five times more likely to experience the tragedy of SIDS than those over 30. Research also shows that people are increasingly looking online for medical advice, with the under 25's primarily using smartphones to get information.
Online content has to be constantly refreshed and responded to, which requires full-time staff. The communications audit demonstrated that our lifesaving messages needed to be packaged appropriately for an organisation manned by 21 volunteers. Relying on printed information was no longer sustainable and we needed to persuade key internal doubters that this was the case.
After the audit, we commissioned market research to encourage those most resistant to change to view the charity through other people's eyes, especially those of our target audiences: young and first-time parents. We were able to conduct this research relatively cheaply, which greatly reassured trustees focused on costs. Feedback from these sessions revealed that, rather than conveying a supportive, reassuring image, parents found our name clinical and offputting. Although the findings were only one factor influencing the trustees' final decision, this research was crucial to persuading them that we needed to find a new name and visual identity.
FSID successfully relaunched as The Lullaby Trust in April. The rebrand has been enthusiastically received by parents, professionals and community fundraisers, who have described our new name as "calm and accessible", "poignant and persuasive". We have also had a 57% increase in visitors to our new website and our Twitter following has grown by 48%.
Some bereaved parents, who were supported by the charity in the early days, have found modernisation difficult. This might be because we helped them through their darkest times as FSID and the name change has brought back painful memories. Our response to those parents was to reassure them that the organisation's ethos had not changed. Our core purpose is the same but we have set our ambition higher – we want the UK to become a country with one of the lowest SIDS rates in the world.
Saving babies' lives and preventing heartbreak for families motivates our trustees, staff, volunteers and supporters. Ensuring we were always mindful of deep emotional attachments, emphasising the vital need for change, through insights from market research and by focusing on a target that everyone would support – halving deaths by 2020 – were the keys to success.

Snail Games is continuing to ramp up the promotion of their latest MMORPG, Age of Wushu. The game features a more organic take on wuxia and the way in which martial arts play a role in the development of the player's character and role in the virtual world. The latest bit of media material for the game centers on the villains and the bad guys whose butts players will need to kick.
The really cool part about Age of Wushu is how the game encourages and influences players to explore the world, meet new players, become friends, join a guild. Literally, doing anything in the game, from interacting with NPCs to chatting it up with other players will reward you with experience that you can use to build and shape the character into what you want.
One of the other things that really separates Age of Wushu from other MMOs is that farming mobs doesn't make you stronger than someone who spends their time doing katas or painting or calligraphy or learning new techniques by simply venturing around the game world and soaking up whatever information they can.
Now, the picture painted of Age of Wushu seems pretty cool based on that description, but I should warn you that the game is currently in closed beta testing and still has a lot of UI and interaction mechanics to work out. Snail Games is working hard with the developers to get the game sorted and in working condition for English-speaking gamers.
You can find beta codes that we're giving away for the game on our Facebook page. You can check out the new screenshots of the game below or visit the Official Website to learn more.

Condoms that look good enough to eat
Many people go in thinking it's a candy store. They are quickly disabused.
Condomania, the city's first from the worldwide chain, sells specially designed condoms as novelty items. The brightly coloured contraception packs do look like candies, so co-owner Dawson Ho and his partners only have themselves to blame.
They insist Condomania is not a sex shop - there are no adult toys. They like to describe their store, in Mong Kok, as a gift shop specialising in condoms.
Saleswoman Tracy said the shop had more female than male customers. 'Most guys are embarrassed and want to leave, but the women seem to enjoy themselves,' she said.
The women's favourite item is the lollipop, where a stick is attached to a candy-flavoured condom.
The shop also sells many certificates - one vouches for one's virginity, another certifies the person is not a virgin, and a particularly useful certificate is for splitting up. You can mail the last one to your soon-to-be ex and spare yourself a painful face-to-face, perhaps. It is definitely good for avoiding a scene. There are also car stickers (pictured): They tell people not to litter.

Blue White Fire, an Irish invader for the $100,000 Generous
Stakes for 2-year-olds Sunday, worked three furlongs on Cushion Track in 35.80
seconds Wednesday.
"He breezed nicely," said Jeff Hughes, assistant to trainer
Dermot Weld. "He was in good form. He was in hand."
Blue White Fire, victorious in one of four starts in
Ireland, finished fifth in the Group II Juddmonte Beresford Stakes at one mile
on a heavy Curragh course on September 25.
"He needs firm going," said Hughes. Garrett Gomez will ride
the colt in the Grade III test at one mile on grass. Other probable starters
include Battle Force (Mike Smith), Handsome Mike (Rafael Bejarano), Major Magic
(Joe Talamo), Senor Rain (Martin Garcia) and Stoney Fleece (Joel Rosario).
Major Magic worked five furlongs on turf in 1:01.40 for
trainer Neil Drysdale.
Joss Saville, assistant to trainer Michael Matz, rewarded
Assateague with a sweet in her stall in Barn 53 North Wednesday in preparation
for the $100,000 Miesque Stakes Friday.
"She loves her sweets," said Saville after the filly
exercised on the main track for the second morning following her arrival
Monday. She was shipped from Florida to Kentucky and flown here.
Assateague, named after an island inhabited by wild horses
off the Virginia coast, drew post six in a field of eight and will be ridden by
Julien Leparoux, who guided her to a maiden score at Keeneland October 26.
Also on the flight was More Than Love, a maiden winner at
Belmont for John Terranova, who was stabled in Barn 61 North with Bob Baffert.
English invader Island Paradise, victorious in one of two
starts for trainer Charles Hills, drew the rail in the Miesque. She got a feel
of the turf Wednesday morning and will remain here with Paddy Gallagher after
the Miesque.
Trainer Mike Mitchell is mixing with elite company these
days. Joining Charlie Whittingham in second place for Hollywood Park
wins with 859 last week, the 63-year-old conditioner has only Frankel ahead of
him at 952.
Mitchell is flattered to be mentioned with either of the
late Hall of Famers. "Charlie was such a great horseman and such a neat guy,
but I think Bobby was the greatest horseman I have ever seen," said Mitchell
"I remember when I was getting started here working for
Farrell Jones, we had an unbelievable meet here and won 52 races, but Bobby won
something like 60," recalled Mitchell.
"They were both great horsemen," continued Mitchell.
"Charlie bringing Cougar (II) back off a year's layoff to win the Santa Anita
Handicap was really something. I wouldn't say that I patterned myself after Bobby,
but I watched the way he did things more closely."
Mitchell seeks his first victory in the $100,000 Vernon

Expansion of Slavery
America now has the land to move west. With the cotton industry on the rise, the issue of slavery and the expansion of it creates many problems, for both the South and the North.
Reasons for slavery:
-As cotton demands rise, more cotton needs to be grown
-Now that farmers had the ability to clean cotton productivly, the South could make it a cash crop
-However, slaves were needed to grow the amount of cotton demanded by not only the North, but the world industry
-From 1830-1860 America exported over 50% of the worlds cotton and 2/3 in 1860
-Because of the ability to mass produce cloth in mills, cotton was important
-Britian had a high demand of cotton for their economy
-On the other hand, in general, the North was opposed to slavery and many were for abolitionist ideas/movement
New York City had become number one exporter of cotton in the world and their economy relied on the cotton of the South, but they were part of the anti-slavery North. To secede from the Union was a possibility for the city, for the South leaving would mean no more exportation from them.
Slave population:
-By 1860, 1/3 of the population (in the South) were slaves
-Although the cotton gin made the cotton process easier, being a slave was an extremely hard life
Cotton production increased dramatically after the invention of the cotton gin. Above shows the relation between the cotton production in thousands of bales and the year. Below shows where the most cotton was produced in the United States in 1860, with the darker areas representing the areas with the most cotton production.
