(As featured on Kick Off Asia)
Round 1 in Group D of the Men's Olympic football tournament could barely have produced a more favourable outcome for Japan, as the Samurai Blue deservedly beat a heavily favoured Spain 1-0. Takashi Sekizuka's men made history in the process with their first victory against Spain at any level of competition, while Honduras and Morocco produced a highly entertaining 2-2 draw to leave Japan at the top of the standings, with the Atlas Lions guaranteed to be missing first-choice Lens defender Zakarya Bergdich for their encounter with Japan at St James' Park on 29 July after he was sent off.
Spain, who came into the competition as reigning UEFA European Under-21 champions, have not won their opening match at either an Under-21 or senior level since 2008, and they never looked like breaking that sequence of results at Hampden Park, defeat by a single goal flattering a losing side whose total output was reflected in just two shots on target, only Japan's profligacy preventing a much more comfortable margin of victory.
Sekizuka, whose squad selection prior to London 2012 and in the series of warm-up fixtures seemed to provide some clues for his starting line-up, restored Daisuke Suzuki to the centre of defence alongside Maya Yoshida, opting for Yuhei Tokunaga at left-back in place of Gotoku Sakai. More surprisingly, the Head Coach gave Kensuke Nagai the lone striker role in his 4-2-3-1 formation, with Yuki Otsu, normally to be found as the advanced forward, rotating between the left and right attacking midfield positions with Hiroshi Kiyotake.
It was a selection that paid great dividends, Yoshida, Tokunaga and Nagai all outstanding performers on a day in which several players featured prominently. The Cerezo Osaka midfield pair of Takahiro Ogihara and Hotaru Yamaguchi were rampant in breaking up play, Ogihara's slender frame belying a superb engine and tenacity in the tackle, while Yamaguchi's athleticism and coverage of the field deserved a goal, a late chance squandered in stoppage time the only real blemish in an otherwise excellent demonstration of midfield play.
The match began largely as many had anticipated, Spain's possession-led style seeing the ball routinely recycled across defence and midfield as they probed for weaknesses in a well-organised and well-marshalled Japan side. Captain Javi Martínez, operating as the pivot and patrolling in front of a four-man backline, and Juan Mata drifting in between the lines, were instrumental to the distribution of the ball in an opening fifteen minutes they dominated, and to that point his side proved equally adept at the second tactic integral to their game, swarming around Japanese players who had the ball at feet high up the pitch to regain possession as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Nonetheless, save for a powerful drive from Mata which Shuichi Gonda pushed around his left upright midway through the first half, the FC Tokyo goalkeeper was largely redundant, crosses from Isco on the left of the Spanish midfield dealt with by Suzuki and the assured Yoshida, and they posted a warning on 25 minutes that this would not be a one-sided match, Kensuke Nagai taking one touch too many in trying to evade a challenge, rather than taking a shot when the opportunity presented itself.
Japan took the lead eight minutes later, Ogihara bending a left-footed corner to the six-yard area, and under the feeblest of challenges from Martin Montoya, Otsu prodded the ball into the net past de Gea's attempted block. Nagai's work-rate in attempting to shut down the opposition's build-up play had caused flutters in an ordinarily composed defence, and shortly after Kiyotake had dispossessed de Gea following a poor Iñigo Martínez back-pass and sent his shot narrowly wide across a very tight angle, it was the Nagoya Grampus forward's pressing and strength which saw Íñigo Domínguez correctly dismissed for pulling him back with a clear goalscoring opportunity at hand shortly before the interval.
Perhaps sensing the opportunity to take advantage of the greater space afforded to his players, and with Otsu struggling with a knock picked up in the first period, Sekizuka introduced Manabu Saito at half-time, the Yokohama F-Marinos forward's pace problematic for many defences as an impact substitute, and potentially more so against an opposition diminished in number.
Five minutes after the restart Keigo Higashi came close to doubling Japan's advantage. Ogihara swept in to steal possession from Mata, Nagai collected the loose ball, skipped past a challenge before feeding Keigo Higashi eighteen yards from goal, and he whipped a curling shot heading for the top right corner which drew a fine save from the Manchester United goalkeeper.
Nagai's touch and will had been unyielding all game, but with 57 minutes played his finishing deserted him, at a time when a goal would almost certainly have ended the match as a contest. Sent clear by a sliding through-ball from Higashi, he scuffed his shot wide of De Gea's goal, and his efforts would again go unrewarded four minutes from time as he robbed substitute Oriel Romeu, only the large frame of the advancing de Gea stopping his attempted chip from making its way into an empty goal.
With late pressure rebuffed, and after Yamaguchi had lifted a shot wide from eight yards after an unselfish pass from Higashi, the only sour note as the celebrations began was the earlier sight of a clearly troubled Hiroki Sakai limping from the field. The full-back fell to the turf three times in need of treatment, and replacement Gotoku Sakai struggled in an unfamiliar position, miscontrolling three times in quick succession and ceding possession cheaply around the 18-yard area. Should the former Kashiwa Reysol star be absent for any prolonged period, the most logical change would be for Yuhei Tokunaga and Gotoku Sakai to slot into the positions they play for their respective clubs. Sekizuka having sprung one surprise, however, may indicate that this is a tournament in which predictability and conservatism are not at the forefront of his thinking for the Samurai Blue.

If you want an intimate rural retreat, try our three brick and flint, cottages that are let out as one, together with the huge sitting room in the Village Hall. They sleep up to 23, with some en-suite and some shared bathrooms. You can light up the fire in winter or enjoy alfresco dining on the terrace by the pool in the summer (pool open May to September). We have 21 acres of gardens, river and lakes.
Arch Holiday Cottage (sleeps 4-6) has two big bedrooms with wash basins and large wardrobes. They can be set up as Super King Sized for single occupancy or a couple or as two twin beds.

It also has a spacious well-equipped kitchen, with plenty of storage, and all the kit you need. There is a kitchen in each cottage, but the Hall Cottage kitchen is usually used for the main catering kitchen.
The Pool house (sleeps 5) has an open plan mezzanine bedroom over the full height kitchen and sitting room. There are two single beds up here and another twin or super king sized bed. Downstairs there is a single bedroom and a timber clad bathroom with shower. French doors open into the covered pergola that sits at the head of the pool terrace with spectacular views of the formal garden and lake beyond. There is a large fridge/freezer gas oven and hob, dishwasher and all the kit you need for catering here too, if you want to serve food by the pool. There is outdoor covered seating for 23 to dine and relax together. The pool is open from May to September and is heated by our biomass boiler which burns locally sourced woodchip, so is 100% sustainable. You and the owners have exclusive use of the pool.

Go here: Crater Lake National Park, Ore., 450,000 annual visitor
Skip: Olympic National Park, Wash., 2.82 million annual visitors
Why Crater Lake: Like Olympic, Crater Lake is more than 90% wilderness. But whereas Olympic is surrounded by water, the heart of this park is a lake — one of the world's deepest.
See it by driving the 33-mile path around the rim, or get closer on a two-hour boat tour, including an option to explore Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder cone that rises 750 feet above the lake ($42 with the island, $32 without).
Don't miss the Pinnacles, a striking outcropping of tall, thin volcanic rocks. Make the 30-minute Pinnacles Trail hike for a great view.
How to save: Fly into the Medford airport rather than Klamath Falls. Medford is about 90 minutes from the park (compared with an hour for Klamath Falls airport), but you'd save 30% on a July flight from New York City, says Hotwire.com.
Staying in-park at Crater Lake Lodge will cost at least $164 — and that's if you can get a room. Choosing a nearby B&B or hotel could cut that substantially, says Jim Chadderdon of Discover Klamath.
About a half-hour away, the Crystalwood Lodge has doubles for $120. Or go 35 minutes or so southwest of the park to the Prospect Historic Hotel, where a basic, comfortable motel room starts at $90.

Effects of High Rates of Imprisonment on Communities
October 18, 2002
Prisons separate criminals from their communities, supposedly leaving those communities safer, stronger and more capable of enforcing their own social codes.
But a new book suggests that in poor inner city communities the policy of increasing incarceration has backfired. In one of the essays in "Invisible Punishment: The Collateral Consequences of Mass Imprisonment," Todd R. Clear of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice makes the point that incarceration taken to an extreme leaves the community unprotected, the prisoner untreated and the whole society demonstrably worse off.
- Beginning in 1972, the prison population started a pattern of unrelenting growth from a base of around 200,000.
- Critics argue the increase occurred with little regard for crime rates, economic cycles or demographic changes.
- The result is a 500 percent increase in incarceration, with more than 1.3 million inmates in prisons and jails.
Clear's point isn't that that incarceration (or the system) is bad; rather, his point is that high rates of imprisonment have unanticipated consequences.
- Overuse of incarceration reduces its stigma in poorer inner-city communities and, therefore, its deterrent power.
- Overuse of incarceration also has the effect of taking huge numbers of black fathers away from their families and out of their communities.
- It also reduces respect for the criminal justice system in those communities.
High levels of incarceration of people from impoverished communities destabilize community life, according to Clear. Damaging the most basic underpinnings of informal social control reproduces the very dynamics that sustain crime.
Skeptics might wonder, what is the alternative?

Name: Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Day and Night Duo
Price: $54.95 for set of two
What it does: Two sets of 60 facial cleansing pads that are designed to exfoliate, resurface and retexture skin for a smooth and bright complexion. The pads are infused with 2.8% glycolic acid for day and 5% for night.
Key ingredients: Glycolic acid, witch hazel (day), salicylic acid (night)
Available from: nipandfab.com.au
How it feels/smells/looks
Each pad is textured, so it feels a little rough on the skin. That said, it's perfect to help skin feel 'awake' in the morning and slough off makeup before bedtime. Ideal for Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Why I like it
Unlike with most facial wipes, my skin is left feeling refreshed, hydrated, smooth and bright. I wouldn't have believed me either, but here we are.
Areas for improvement
I'm characteristically lazy, so this is a nice alternative for my rinse/lather/cleanse routine. But with everyday use (whoops), my skin was stripped and became a little sensitive. As with all facial wipes, it's best to keep these for occasional use.
Final comments
A worthy duo to keep in your bedside drawer. For those times when you're feeling lazy, like me.

Wham, bam, no-thank-you, ma'am. That about sums up the sex life of Claire Doolittle. Not-so-happily married to Jack-once the man of her dreams but now a modern-day version of the bossy, dull Ward Cleaver of '50s sitcom fame-Claire is at the end of her rope. Gone are the glorious days of flings in elevators and broom closets. Jack? All he needs is a cardigan and a billowing pipe to become the domineering father figure Claire never wanted. And looking at her body in the mirror, Claire would cast herself as Lumpy. They'd once had a world of color, of wanton frivolity. Now, life's black and white: a sitcom in reruns. A not-very-funny sitcom. Cue an old boyfriend-the "one that got away"-throw in a predatory hottie who's set her sights on our leading man, and watch Claire's world spiral out of control.
In the old TV show, the Beaver always got a happy ending. Stay tuned.

Sri Lanka puts tsunami 'Baby 81' under guard
A Sri Lankan baby who survived the December tsunamis has been given police protection after a couple claiming to be his parents tried to snatch him from hospital.
Police have been deployed to guard "Baby 81" while the United Nations children's agency UNICEF is assisting with a DNA test ordered by a local court to verify the couple's claim.
The court convened again today and decided the test should be carried out at a private laboratory in the capital, Colombo.
"I have told the parties who claim to be the parents to go to Colombo on February 9 for a DNA test," judge MP Mohideen said."They will be accompanied by UNICEF."
He said an order on the custody of the child could be made, depending on the availability of the DNA results, without waiting for the next hearing date of April 20.
However, he warned the couple claiming the child, Junitha Jeyarajah and her husband Murugupillai, not to create any more disturbances.
"Everyone should follow the court order... do not do anything against the law," the judge said.
"If you are the real parents, you will get the child ultimately.
"You can go to the hospital to see the child three times a day rather than once as I told you yesterday. Go only by yourself, not with other people.
"Do not create unnecessary problems to hospital authorities. The baby is safe do not worry about his health and security. He has been provided with maximum security."
A doctor at the hospital, K Muhunthan, says security has been stepped up after Wednesday's disturbances.
"The baby is currently under tight police protection at the (Kalmunai) hospital," Dr K Muhunthan told AFP. "After what happened yesterday, we are not taking any chances."
After storming the hospital on Wednesday, the couple were arrested but later released.
Also arrested after the hospital melee was Samithamby Sri Skandarajah who found the child under a heap of garbage on December 26 after the tsunamis.
He says the couple are indeed the baby's parents.
The boy has been dubbed "Baby 81" as he was the 81st patient admitted to the Kalmunai hospital when the tsunami crashed into the town on December 26.

CRAWFORD: Universities should raise standards, move remediation to community colleges
BILL CRAWFORD: Move remediation to community colleges, hybrid universities
Universities should raise admission standards and, for the most part, exit the remediation business. Community colleges are best suited for this role with lower costs for both state and student, plus they provide more pathways to completion for academically challenged and disinterested students.
Two things – sports and historically black universities – would seem to make this politically impossible. Many talented athletes require remediation and our historically black universities enroll high proportions of under-prepared students.

United States Senator Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., said today the transformation of New Orleans public schools following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita should serve as a national model for education reform. Pointing out that 121 of the city's 128 school campuses were damaged or destroyed in the hurricanes, Landrieu said, "We are basically transforming each and every school to be highly accountable, high-performing."
Sen. Landrieu spoke during a news conference today at a Northwest Washington pre-K-8 school, the Walker Jones Education Campus, where she joined other politically moderate Senators and Education Secretary Arne Duncan to outline specific reform goals as Congress considers reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the principal source of federal funding for the nation's pre-K-12 schools.
Sen. Landrieu noted that the revamped New Orleans system includes "traditional public schools and some public charter schools, which simply means bringing in other providers, high quality providers of quality education and opening up the opportunities so it's not just one centralized top-down system but a diverse array of providers, providing opportunities, many choices for parents."
Landrieu was among the group of moderate Democrats who helped pass the last reauthorization of ESEA in 2002, known as "No Child Left Behind." It expired in 2007, but under federal law, the Act is automatically extended pending Congressional reauthorization. Landrieu called on her colleagues not to let another year go by without reauthorizing ESEA.
"We have a strong leader in Secretary Duncan," Landrieu said, "as well as a solid group of moderate Senate Democrats who want to make ESEA work for students, teachers and schools across the country. We now have the opportunity to learn from the successes and shortcomings of No Child Left Behind and craft a law that promotes local flexibility and innovation, helping close achievement gaps."
Sen. Landrieu and Secretary Duncan were joined at the news conference by Sen. Kay R. Hagan, D-N.C., Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., Sen. Thomas Carper, D-Del., Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del.
In a letter to Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Chairman Tom Harkin, D-Ia., Ranking Member Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., the senators wrote: "As moderate Democrats in the United States Senate, we would like the opportunity to express the urgency of reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). We recognize that, while we work to recover from the recession, we must also be building the foundation for our long-term economic success. We believe that the following principles and policies will drive us toward the outcomes we need to remain competitive in a global economy and give all our children the opportunity to fulfill their potential."
The principles address five key components of ESEA reauthorization: accountability structure, school turnaround, teachers and leaders, innovation and equity in resources. Also supporting these education reform principles are the following moderate Senators: Herb Kohl, D-Wis., Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Mark Warner, D-Va., and Mark Begich, D-Ark.
The moderate senators are putting forth an innovative vision for education that sets a high bar for all students and attracts and supports the most talented teachers and leaders in our schools. The senators' Statement of Principles addresses several problems in No Child Left Behind, including the lack of an accountability system that is accurate and fair in measuring student growth. The senators support the development of meaningful ways to measure teacher and principal effectiveness, while providing necessary support for educators, especially those in high-need schools. They believe aggressive action is critical if we are to turn around persistently low-performing schools, and that the federal government should support and encourage innovative state and local efforts to improve schools through programs such as the Race to the Top.

text: How About A Rattlesnake Defense Strategy? For concealed carry, how about keeping a very hot blank round as your one in the pipe ammo? Pros: 1: Makes Glock Leg (1911, any handgun) much less a threat to life and limb should the unfortunate event of a Negligent Discharge occur. 2: A warning shot, may very well stop the threat. One real round hitting an attacker, will only make the bad guy more angry that he got shot, and continue the attack. A blank (miss) may turn him around, thinking this guy is shooting at me, and I want to get away unhurt. 3: If the attack is too close and eminent for a warning shot, a blank round to the face will stop an attacker just as well as a bullet, and is just as likely to kill them as a real traditional bullet. 4: In court, after the attack, a warning blank, would be a good thing, showing deadly force was not your intent, you only wished to stop the attack. Cons: (you fill this part in) (to let you know I am serous, I just ordered blanks http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/34618 ) "Used by military re-enactors, in ceremonies, for training exercises, in theatrical productions and hunting dog training, blank ammunition provides the report and realism of conventional ammunition without the projectile.

One reason Seattle's Death Cab For Cutie became an indie-rock godhead is that the band's members are so clearly comfortable in their own skins (and sweaters and thick black glasses). They play literate, nerdy, slightly fey pop, and they do it well.

So guitarist Chris Walla sounded like he was making a wry joke when he told Pitchfork that the band's long-time-coming new album, Narrow Stairs, was "weird," "spectacular" and "creepy," with "lots of blood." But then its leadoff single, "I Will Possess Your Heart," dropped, and the seven-minute jam grooved on a hypnotic bass line and twinkling piano tones for damn near five minutes before singer Ben Gibbard uttered a single warbly word. And now the brainy shoegazers are poised to find a new audience with the Coldplay-Maroon 5 crowd...or, as Stereogum suggested, maybe even Phish phans. Which isn't to say they won't save their last hit, the sprightly "Crooked Teeth," for a big encore.

The West Brook Bruins are ignoring pre-season predictions that they will miss the playoffs for the second year in a row.
The Bruins feel they have the senior leadership to turn things around.
RB Justin Hervey returns after rushing for just under 1,000 yards and 14 TD's in 2012. Hervey was impressive in the Bruins spring game gaining 237 YDS with 3 TD's.
Bruins also feel they have adjusted to head coach Kevin Flannigan's style of play and will need to shore up a defense that gave up 40 points per game in district play.

Team mates of an 'amazing' hockey goalkeeper who died during a match are to commemorate him before their fixtures tomorrow.
Oxford Hockey Club 7s player Tim Bence collapsed and died on the pitch last Saturday as his team took on British Airways 2s.
At 4pm tomorrow his side face Slough Swifts 2s at Oxford Brookes Sports Centre in Headington, with tributes planned before the game.
There will be 30 seconds silence, followed by three cheers and then 30 seconds applause, a tribute that will be repeated at the other 13 games the club's sides are involved in.
Mum Sylvia and dad Mike, from Swinbrook in West Oxfordshire, paid tribute to the self-employed gardener, who will be remembered ahead of the club's fixtures today.
Mrs Bence said: "His clients are really upset that he is gone, he was really enthusiastic and a great gardener.
"He was a much loved son and brother.
"He loved his hockey and we are grateful that is how he died, doing something he loved surrounded by people he loved.
"We did not realise how much he was loved."
When 43-year-old Mr Bence collapsed on the pitch at Queens Park Rangers FC's training ground in Harlington, London, players, medical staff and paramedics rushed to his aid but were unable to save him.
The former pupil of Wood Green School lived in Swinbrook with his sister Toni.
After leaving school he went to college in Dorset before later training at the Botanic Garden in Oxford and then working as a gardener at Magdalen College.
Oxford Hockey Club chairman Richard Oakes said: "We are still in shock as he was genuinely such a nice guy.
"Tim has been a keen and enthusiastic member of the club for many years playing in goal for both the men's and mixed sections and he readily endeared himself to both team members and opponents alike.
"He was happy to stand on the touchlines and meet anybody.
"He was so positive about everything, even in a 7-0 thrashing."
Tributes have also been paid to him on social media by friends and past and present players.
Anand Gupta said: "Tim was an amazing man. Never met someone so good natured in such an innocent way.
"Was always happy, never sad. Always gave me a big bear hug before every game.
"Wish I could give him one now."
Lucy Brady added: "The world has lost one of the most genuine and kind men.
"A man who touched the hearts of everyone he met with the biggest goalie padded hugs and the greatest words of encouragement."
Yesterday Mrs Bence told the Oxford Mail she was frustrated at the amount of time it had taken to get her son's body back.
She and her husband were told it had been moved from Harefield Hospital in West London to an undertaker nearby, but had struggled to get in touch with the coroner despite calling many times.
Today, after the West London Coroner's officer was contacted by the Oxford Mail, they pledged to speak to Mr Bence's parents as soon as possible.

Buying Off Of Ebay or Used Vs New
I was in the same situation you were several months ago and wondered into REI
and spent a considerable amount of time asking questions and saying stuff like,
"Whatcha got"?
They measured me for a bike and they showed me several bikes but I chose to test
the Navara Safari Touring Bike. After going online and checking it out on Google there
was nothing but praise for the bike.
I love it the moment I tested it. The moustache handle bars are great for positioning
your body around on long rides plus you can get low in the wind or going downhill.
The bike is extreamly sturdy and I'd suggest you take a serious look at it. Seems like
it was around $800.00 but I got it on sale at a 20% reduction. As an REI member they
have sales like that from time to time.
This way you get to test the bike instead of shooting in the dark and hoping you guess
Hope this helps...John:)
What would you recommend being the minimum mechanical knowledge for a multi-day tour? Can anyone give me a list of must-know things?
I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I attempt my first mini-tour via a class and a volunteering/apprenticeship at a bike co-op.
You should carry a couple of tubes and know how to change one. I started touring with just that much knowledge. In 17 years, Ive had to change tubes twice. The real secret; tour with a well-maintained bike.
I'm thinking about turning an old Marin mountain bike into a tourer and was reading about wheelbase distances on this site. Where do you measure between to get this distance?
Wheel Base
The distance from the center of the front wheel to the center of the rear wheel. In general, a bicycle with a longer wheel base is more stable and comfortable; one with a shorter wheel base tends to be more maneuvrable.
So you can measure between the two touching points of the wheels with the ground.
Thanks, it looks like about 44" wheelbase on the old Marin mountain bike that I've had for many years. I think I'm going to be doing a lot of research on here to figure out the best way to turn it into a starter tourer correctly the first time so I don't have to spend a lot of money doing things over again the right way.
Start by feeting it with racks, like Tubus Cargo 26'', that you will use also on a 700 tourer at the future. I'm using 26'' rack on my 700 tourer.
For the front, you need to check for low rider eyelets. If you don't have them, then you need to search for a rack that can clamp on the fork.
If 2 bottles are not enough, then buy a water bag and tie it in the back.
Take care and go touring,

Here is my converted mountain bike commuter/touring rig, need to get a shorter stem. Should work well enough until I can drop the money on a "real" touring rig. http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=133895http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=133894
I bought and REI Novara Safari & Was Not Made Aware Until Check Out Time That...
So, I've decided to to buy a BOB trailer and figured I can put 2-3 water bottles on it and make due. I did buy a big 40oz Camelback water bottle and love it because I don't need to tip my head back and drink out of it like conventional bottles. It has a built in straw so to speak so I can keep my eyes on the road...minor but nice. I'm going to have some of my videos on www.followmybike.com in about a week...the site isn't up yet but I'm working on it. All bike enthusiast are encourage to put up videos and pics of their trips.
To add to the budget touring bike debate:
My first tourer was an old chromoly framed road bike I bough for $50. It had most of the braze-ons and space for 2 water bottles. Basically many of these 20-30 year old bikes are similar to a touring bike, except a little less relaxed geometry.
The roadies now want aluminum, fibre carbon or titanium, leaving these old bikes on the market really cheap. I toured on that bike until I was hooked on touring, then I bought a dedicated touring bike. I did find that being able to choose the gear ratios helped at the top and bottom end and the more upright position a little easier on the back.
Don't be put off touring because someone says you don't have the right bike. If your bike can take 2 panniers and 2 water bottles, just do it!
"After that, things start getting expensive for the "budget shopper". There is the Bruce Gordon BLT, the Rivendell Atlantis, the Koga Miyata World Traveler, and I think Waterford's models are in the high end as well. Regardless of which bike you get, "most" tourers have steel frames with attachments for three water bottle cages, front and rear racks (mid-fork braze-ons), at least 36 spokes per wheel, drop style handlebars or flats with some sort of extension for more hand positions, and mtb gearing for hauling heavy loads up steep mountains."
Don't forget Independent Fabrication and Co-Motion on the high end. Both are custom builds. I have an IF road bike. A joy to ride and a beauty to look at.
BTW...You can get the LHT as a frame only or as a complete bike. The complete bike is selling for around $1,100 these days and is a great ride both loaded and empty. Jusr and racks and panniers and you are set.
There are lots of differening views about most every aspect of bike touring. I suggest reading this forum every day, searching for old posts on topics that arise, and also spending a lot of time reading journals on CrazyGuyOnABike.com. I don't adopt the practices of everyone who posts - far from it - but I like to hear what they have to say, and I've learned a lot.
You can tour on a very limited budget - which is what I did when I started as a poor college kid in the 70's - and you can also spend almost unlimited amounts if you want - fully supported tours in Europe with gourmet dining and beautiful hotels, for instance. I'm in the middle. I now have what I consider to be excellent equipment - bike, panniers, racks, cooking gear, camping gear, etc. I don't always buy the most expensive stuff, but if I want something of high quality I don't lament the price - I buy it. I guess my biggest luxury item is nights in motels. I almost always camp, but when I have a reason - whether it's a rain storm, I can't find a suitable camping spot, or I'm just feeling a need to spoil myself - I find a motel.
Bicycle touring the way I do it might not be as inexpensive as some would think - especially when you add up the cost of all the food I devour (I don't limit myself, either in quantity or price.) But it's still undoubtedly cheaper than most any other form of travel.
The equipment costs can be pretty high initially - say $1,000 for a bike, $200-300 for racks, $200-300 for good panniers, $100-200 for a tent, $100 for a sleeping bag, $70 for a stove, etc.......... - but all of that equipment lasts a long time witih very little maintanence costs, especially if you do your own wrenching. I had my last touring bike - lower-quality Nashbar from 1992 - for about 15 years and it's still as good as it was when I bought it. I gave it to my nephew. He rode the entire west coast on it, and is looking for more tours to take it on. He's also using the REI panniers and handlebar bag I bought in 1992. They have a couple of scars, but they still work fine. I still have the stove I bought in 1992 and it still works fine. The mess kit will probably never die.
My point is that even people who worry about spending a lot of money initially can take comfort in knowing that it's a long-term investment. Once you've got what you need you don't have to worry about paying for equipment - except maybe inner tubes, a new tire or two every couple of years, maybe some grip tape, new gloves, etc. Not much.
I think the most valuable tip I can give a new tourer is to bring a little notebook and a pencil with you. When you're sitting down relaxing after a day's ride, write down thoughts about what you'd do differently. What equipment do you wish you had? What did you bring that you could do without? What items have turned out to be more valuable than you ever dreamed? What needs to be modified on your bike?
I find that those thoughts are in the front of my brain when I'm "out there" but when I get home they recede into the fuzzy part of my brain and I forget, and hence don't make the changes that could help.
I'm constantly updating my packing list. I don't think that will ever end. Over the years I've gone back and forth several times on certain items because I can't make up my mind definitively. But in the process my list is so much better now than it was 30 years ago. Plus, I always like to try new things. I just bought a chair because I saw someone sitting in it on a CrazyGuy journal. Haven't you just longed for a comfortable chair to sit in after a long ride? Of course, it may end up being too much extra weight to justify bringing. I'll see.
Can anybody tell me if the Kona Smoke would be ok for touring... The frame is made of 4130 Chromoly butted steel... the chain stay is about 17.7 in (450mm) ... the wheel base is 43.5 in (1111 mm).... the link is http://www.konaworld.com/bike.cfm?content=smoke if you like to have a look... They are 220 euro were i live...
Any comments will be much appreciated
3 frame braze-ons - ?
able to take front and rear racks - ?
Bars - not too many configurations
Any bike can be good for touring depending on how comfortable you feel after carrying 25 kilos of gear up a hill for 8 hours.
That's my opinion. If you are doing light or fully supported touring, it will be great!
Build Your Own
>> My preference is to search diligently for a butted, lugged steel frame from the mid-to-late 1980s. I've found a nearly complete 1988 Fuji Saratoga touring bike for $100, and a very, very clean Trek 620 touring bike for my wife for $550. Hers required about $250 in upgrades to give her 9 indexed speeds in the rear. Mine, the Fuji (not yet completed), came with a triple cycloid crankset appropriate for touring, all of the braze-ons you could imaging, and a 40-spoke rear wheel. It will need cables, pads, pedals plus my seat. I will also upgrade from the 6-speed Suntour freewheel to a 7-speed IRD with ramps to round things out. Total cost should come in a bit over $400 for mine, and the ride is very comfortable. My wife's is sublime.
>> I guess the point is that you can build one from a good frame, if you're patient and dig for the correct parts.
FWIW. I'm a "newbie" to touring (actually a wannbee tourer - when spring arrives...) but not new to bikes and riding. After lots of ruminating I recently purchased a Bruce Gordon BLT-T. I am very happy with Bruce's frame and component package and very happy with his guidance. The project has come together slick. I am looking forward to getting this rig on the road and incorporating it into my "paid to breathe" retirement.
I have a question. I'm usually just a commuter and recreational rider. My main bike is a Giant TranSend. I love it to death. I'm also a backpacker/hiker. Naturally, I want to start doing light touring. Besides the lack of handpositions on my risers with Ergo grips (which I love), what would other downfalls be with the bike? Just for clarification, I have a rack, panniers and everything and also have a well tuned bike.
This guy did 2100 miles NM to FL
You will not have problems, part of the usual stuff. I guess maybe breaking spokes. Take with you few spokes with you and a tool to remove the cassette.
If as you say the wheel is true and the spokes with even tension, you probably will not break too much spokes, if any.
Spokes breaking was my major problem at our recent 4 month tour from London to Barcelona. But I'm 95kg with load of ~35kg on 700 36holes rims. You have 26'', so its much stiffer then mine, but just if it is 36. Also it depends on your weight and luggage.
I currently have a Navara Safari. I have never been able to get it to fit me properly. (I bought it through Craig's list.) It is a nice bike but I really want a Surly Long Haul Trucker. But I also know the value of a proper fit and do not want to make a mistake.
I want to purchase a LHT this spring but am concerned with fitting it. I have a couple of questions.
I am 6'1" and weigh about 220lbs. Should I simply purchase a bike that will broadly fit me, then tweak that size to fit me?
I guess the real question becomes: What is the process one goes through to determine the proper fit for a bike?
Order the LHT from your local bike shop.
They can fit you to the bike.

Base metals continued to move lower yesterday, posting an average loss of 0.3 percent, but it will be remarked that they reversed some of their losses during the second half of the day. The ongoing weakness in the base metals complex reflects deflationary pressure stemming from the steep sell-off in energy prices, and a cautious investor sentiment ahead of the release of the US employment report. Zinc was the worst performing base metal, down 1.3 percent, followed by lead (-0.6 percent), aluminium (-0.3 percent), and copper (-0.1 percent). On the other hand, nickel posted a modest gain of 0.2 percent, while tin finished the day unchanged.
In contrast, the precious metals complex held relatively better, partly reflecting the drop in equities in so far as precious metals tend to be negatively correlated with equities. Further, money managers, who had already sold aggressively the complex, were likely not comfortable with taking on additional short positions ahead of key US employment report, which could influence significantly the US dollar and therefore the precious metals markets.
This morning, base metals are slightly weaker amid thin volumes, led by copper, down 0.4 percent, followed by nickel and zinc, down 0.3 percent each. Lead is down 0.2 percent, aluminium is off 0.1 percent, while tin remains unchanged. On the other hand, the precious metals complex is trading higher, with silver and platinum up 0.4 percent each, palladium up 0.3 percent, although gold is off 0.1 percent.
In Shanghai, the July base metals contracts are weaker, with zinc leading the declines (-1.4 percent). Nickel is down 0.9 percent, copper is off 0.8 percent, while aluminium and lead are down 0.7 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively. Tin is the only metal posting a gain this morning, up 0.4 percent. Meanwhile, spot copper in Changjiang is down 0.7 percent at Rmb 38,250-38,400, while the backwardation with the futures is at $84 per tonne and the LME/Shanghai copper arb ratio is slightly up from yesterday at 1 to 7.43, which indicates that the arb window is now open to most traders. In contrast, the precious metals complex is marginally firmer, with gold and silver up 0.3 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively.
Bonds – Government bonds rallied strongly on Thursday, pushing yields lower, as the sell-off in broad equities likely prompted investors to seek safe-haven assets, such as bonds, while the sharp decline in crude oil prices continued to push inflation expectations down, leading investors to increase their exposure to bonds, which tend to perform better in a low inflation environment. As such, the US 10-year yield fell 3 basis points (or 1.51 percent) at 2.24 percent. In the eurozone, the Germany 10-year yield dropped 4 basis points (or 5.97 percent) at 0.71 percent, the France 10-year yield closed down 5 basis points (or 5.07 percent) at 1.01 percent, while the Portugal 10-year yield was down 4 basis points (or 1.72 percent) at 2.46 percent. The relative outperformance of bonds in core countries relative to peripheral countries suggests that investors are still concerned about difficult negotiations between Greece and its creditors for a Greek bailout #3.
Stocks – US stocks sold off quite sharply yesterday as investors likely preferred to adopt a cautious stance by reducing their stock exposure ahead of the US employment report released later today in so far as the Federal Reserve's decision-making process regarding the normalisation of its monetary policy may largely be influenced by the employment situation in July. Similarly, European stocks ended lower after reaching a two-week high yesterday, partly reflecting weakness in the energy sector amid lower oil prices. The Euro Stoxx 50 closed down 0.23 percent at 3,668. In Asia this morning, equities are stronger despite the sell-off in US and European equities yesterday. Although the Kospi is down 0.21 percent, the Nikkei 225 is up 0.25 percent after the Bank of Japan (BoJ) decided to maintain its accommodative stance, in line with expectations, the Hang Seng is up almost 1 percent, while the CSI 300 is up 2.22 percent.
Currencies – The US dollar moved slightly down against most currencies on Thursday after reaching a three-week high earlier this week (on an intraday basis). The greenback was down against the euro after retail PMI in the eurozone surged to its highest level since January 2011, and against the sterling after the Bank of England revealed that only one of its nine policy makers voted for a rate increase at the August meeting, which likely pushed market expectations for an initial increase in UK rate to later next year. On the other hand, the dollar was down against the Japanese yen, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, and the Chilean Peso. On net, the US dollar index (DXY) closed down 0.16 percent at 97.8060.
The economic agenda will be dominated by the release of the US July employment report at 1:30pm, UK time. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan held its monetary policy meeting yesterday and today, and released its latest monetary policy statement, indicating that it will not increase its monetary policy stance, rather, it will continue to increase its monetary base at an annual pace of 80 trillion yen, suggesting that BoJ Governor Kuroda is confident that inflation will gradually move toward 2 percent over the medium term without the need to expand further monetary stimulus. Moreover, macroeconomic data already released today indicated that Germany recorded a surplus of 22.0 billion euros in June, below market expectations of 23.2 billion euros, and down from a 22.8-billion euro surplus last month, while its industrial production declined 1.4 percent in June, far below market expectations of a 0.3 percent, and down from 0.0 percent in May.
Base metals continue to remain vulnerable to further downside, reflecting weak investor sentiment due to global deflationary pressure stemming from broad-based declines across the commodity markets and the recent weakness in Chinese equities, which is likely to have adverse implications for economic growth in Q3. As such, we believe that the complex will likely continue to weaken further until speculators reach an extreme short positioning, which could therefore lead to a short-covering rally, although we hold the view that a sustainable rally would be possible if and only if a shift in sentiment occurs.
As regards the precious metals complex, given that the spec positioning has deteriorated remarkably since June while the market appears to be technically oversold in the near term, it seems to us that shorts are beginning to run out of steam and are currently not inclined to take on additional positions, which increases the likelihood of a short-covering rally, especially in case of weaker-than-anticipated US employment report.

Your hotel clerk cover letter is the first impression an employer will have of you, so it's important that you set the right image of yourself by making it great. Hotel clerks have to relate to people, solve problems quickly, and be polite and amiable, and all those qualities have to come through in your cover letter. Here are a few ways to make sure the person reading your letter is going to be interested in what you have to offer.
Introduce yourself.
You're going to want the reader to know who you are, and why you're writing to them. Be sure to mention your interest in their hotel and why you'd like to work for them. Start the letter off with enthusiasm, but don't go overboard. Stay in the polite but enthusiastic range.
Make sure the reader knows this is a hotel clerk cover letter.
Be specific. Make reference to the hotel clerk positions they have open, and if you're only writing a general letter of interest and not sure if they have any hotel clerk positions open currently, let the reader know that you're interested in working as a clerk at their hotel.
Briefly outline your experience.
Your resume will have details about your hotel clerk experience, but your hotel clerk cover letter should give a brief outline of what you bring to the table (or desk, for that matter) and why you would be a good candidate. Mention your courteous nature, your genuine affection for working with the public, and how important it is to you to put a polished, professional face to the hotel. The front desk is the first person most hotel guests see, and they solve problems like reservation issues and give advice like where to park and what attractions to see. Make it clear you understand that a hotel clerk's job is to do all these things while remaining friendly, polite, courteous, and reliable.
Close with a call to action.
Be sure your hotel clerk cover letter invites the reader to contact you with any questions or to set up a meeting to talk further. Hotel clerks and other service personnel are best judged in person, so it's very important that you get an interview. Close with a statement that requests they contact you for more information. Mention that you can provide references upon request, and close with a friendly but professional sign-off.
Your job as a desk clerk will require you to pay close attention to detail, and if your hotel clerk cover letter is riddled with typos and grammatical errors, you won't stand a chance at an interview. Make sure the hiring manager knows you check and double-check your work by doing the same on your cover letter. Check for misspellings, misuse of homophones like "are" and "our," run-on sentences, or sentence fragments. Read it out loud to make sure it makes sense and if possible, have someone else read it to check for problems.
Your hotel clerk cover letter is your foot in the door to an interview, and if it's not written in the right way, the hiring manager won't even look at your resume. Your credentials might be perfect, but if you're not setting the right tone with your cover letter, you will have difficulty getting through to the next level. Check out LiveCareer's Cover Letter Builder for more help.

2008 Ford Edge SUV SE 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Great Vehicle. Looks Great, Drives Great. No problems so far. Gas Mileage Stinks!
Gas Mileage
My husband and I test drove many crossover SUV's when we were searching for a new car and when we happened upon the Edge, it was love at first site. It's roomy enough for my husband, who is a large guy, to sit in either the front or back comfortably and the panaramic sunroof is great. But most importantly, it's fun to drive! Keep producing this king of vehicle Ford, you hit a homerun with this one!
Truly designed with the driver in mind. From the amenities and comfort of the interior to the way it handles and performs on both city streets and open highways, this is one impressive vehicle! Acceleration and maneuverability beats Saturn, Chevrolet, Toyota and Honda in comparable class vehicles and at a great price. We purchased the base model SE, but all the extras like MicroSoft Sync, top of the line sound system with a 6 CD changer, radio and cruise control in the steering wheel, roof rack, anti-theft system, etc. this vehicle is in a class of its own. The ride is extremely comfortable; cruising at 70 mph feels like you're going 30 or 35 and bumps are almost unnoticeable.
We really like the MicroSoft Sync, radio and cruise controls in the steering wheel, and comfortable yet responsive feel of the suspension system. The passenger compartment is quiet, even at highway speeds, and conversation can be had at normal speaking volume. Lots of leg and hip room in all seats.
If Ford could figure out a way to improve mpg for the Edge by 25% or more while maintaining performance, that would make a great vehicle outstanding! I hope this vehicle continues to evolve to an even higher level in the years to come. Great vehicle, reasonably priced!
I love my Ford Edge. The room in it is amazing. The most room you'll find for your money. And this is one of the most affordable SUV/CUVs. I have 2 kids and this fits all 4 of us comfortably
MP3, storage space
#ith the way gas prices are I wished I got better gas mileage
I've owned 7 vehicles and the Edge has the worst AC by far. Have to keep it on max fan and max ac all the time here in TX and still sweat. Lots of power, soft suspension and low road noise. Vehicle feels like your driving a boat, a floating vs driving sensation.
Love the exterior styling. Lots of room. Seats are comfortable. Upgraded painted 18" wheels look nice. Low road noise.
The AC needs stronger fan and more directional vents. Need to be able to shut off vents not being used. Center stack is ugly. Radio looks and sounds like it is from 1970 w 4 cheap speakers. Brakes are poor, almost unsafe.

I made a mistake recently on a personalised card. I forgot to change the default name. I did it on my phone so found it quite difficult to see. I understand it was my fault for not checking but if there wasn't a default name it would help. Also I can't check my order history on my phone and there are limited cards available.

Published: Wednesday 21st January 2015 by The News Editor
Technology giant Microsoft has shown off Windows 10 to the world for the first time, saying: "Today really is a monumental day for Windows," and confirming the software will be available free for those running the current version of Windows.
Microsoft's Terry Myerson said: "Windows 10 will support the the broadest device family ever. Since September we've received a lot of feedback … feedback is shaping the future of Windows.
"For the first year after Windows 10 is available, we will be making available a free upgrade to Windows 10 for all devices running Windows 8.1. Once a device is upgraded to Windows 10, we'll be keeping it current for the supported lifetime for the device.
"Windows 10 is so much more than the latest version of Windows. Windows 10 changes the rules of the game."
The new software has reintroduced the famous "Start" menu that was removed from Windows 8. It can now be shifted between the traditional smaller and full screen view.
Microsoft's Joe Belfiore also showed off a new notifications bar as well as the Continuum feature, which enables users to seamlessly switch between tablet and PC mode.
"A device like this elegantly transforms from one mode to another," he said, demonstrating how a Surface tablet changed as it was connected and disconnected from a keyboard.
Mr Belfiore also revealed Microsoft's digital assistant, Cortana, is coming to desktop computers for the first time. It means the voice-based assistant will now run on Windows PCs, and can be used to assist with tasks.
Cortana can be used to ask questions as well as look up information from the web, via voice command. The software is similar to the Siri software that runs on Apple devices, however this is the first time such an assistant has come to desktop devices.
"Having Cortana on your PC is like having another member of the family sitting around and helping you get things done," said Mr Belfiore.
The software is also capable of learning the user's habits, as well as launch apps on command. Users will be able to play music, but when you say "Hey Cortana, please be quiet", the music will pause.
The system also has the ability to dictate and send emails.
"This capability will be rolling out to insiders over the next several months," Mr Belfiore added.
Mr Belfiore also demonstrated how Windows 10 will work on smartphone and tablets. "We're tailoring it … for certain form factors. What I'm going to show you now is the Windows 10 version that is tailored for devices that are smaller than eight inches," he said.
The Microsoft executive then used a Lumia tablet to show the mobile version of Windows 10. Notifications have now been linked between mobile devices and desktop, so dismissing a notification on mobile will also remove it from your PC.
The keyboard can also now be floated anywhere around the screen so users can place it where it is most comfortable for them. The messaging and Skype apps are also set to be synced together, so users can jump between the two programs seamlessly as they chat to contacts. Voice-dictated messaging was also demonstrated on-stage.
Microsoft's signature productivity apps – Office, made up of Word, Excel and PowerPoint – will all be built into Windows 10 on smartphones. Outlook, Microsoft's email system, is also included. In a new feature, Word has been built into the universal email app for the first time, which Microsoft hope will make message composition easier.
These formed part of a demonstration of a host of Windows apps that Microsoft used to show off how their native apps are now all universal – and will work no matter which Windows device a user is working on.
Microsoft's native Photos app has also been updated so that it is now powered by the cloud – where a user's computer and phone will work together to create collections of photos and albums.
This moves it close to Apple's iCloud-driven photo set-up.
A wide-spread rumour ahead of the launch was based around whether or not Microsoft would introduce a new web browser.
"We think it's the right time to build a new browser for the modern web," Mr Belfiore said.
"I'm excited to introduce you to … codename Project Spartan," before adding that it was still an unfinished product.
Mr Belfiore focused on three key features for Spartan, the first of which was a note-taking mode which enabled users to write and draw on the page with a stylus before sharing it complete with your added notes to social media and other outlets like email.
The second feature is reading-based, with Microsoft introducing an option where users could change the appearance of a webpage so that it looked like a book.
There was also a reading list where users could save articles and pages for later.
Again, the move was similar to features on Apple's iOS – a similar reading mode and list are both available on iPad, with reading lists also available on Macs.
Microsoft also confirmed that Cortana would be built into Spartan and would offer directions when you visited a restaurant's site, as well as tell you about the menu and give dietary information once prompted.
Mr Belfiore confirmed it would be "three, four, five months" before those on the firm's preview program would be able to start using Spartan.
The head of Microsoft's hugely successful games console Xbox, Phil Spencer, also appeared at the demo.
He confirmed that the official Xbox app would now be built into every Windows 10 device.
"Gaming on Windows 10 will be more social and interactive," he said.
Players will be able to interact with friends as well as capture and share clips of up 30 seconds from within your game.
"Bringing more power to Windows 10 gaming is incredibly important to us," he said.
Gamers will now also be able to play across different platforms in Windows 10, and on-stage Mr Spencer played Fable Legends with Lauren Carter from developer Lionhead studios, with Mr Spencer on a PC and Miss Carter on the Xbox One.
Mr Spencer also confirmed that console exclusive games not currently available on Windows could now be played anywhere.
"With Windows 10, we will enable streaming of Xbox One games to any Windows 10 PC or tablet in your home later this year," he added.
Mr Myerson confirmed that the new version of Windows 10 will be available to those in the Insiders preview program from next week, with a version for phones coming in February.
"After the Seahawks win the Super Bowl, we'll be releasing our first build of Windows 10 on phones," he said. "We're looking forward to feedback from insiders all over the world."
As well as software, Microsoft also introduced a new device; the Microsoft Surface Hub – an 84-inch touch display that works similarly to a tablet.
The screen comes with dual cameras so it can be used as a display which can be used to give presentations, and it has built-in dual cameras so it can also be used as part of interactive video conferencing, with edits on-screen appearing live for all those in the session. Microsoft call it Ink Back and Touch Back.
A new holographic technology was also introduced, of which Mr Myerson said: "In my decades in this industry there have been a few key moments where a technology has blown me away. We've created one of those experiences with Windows 10."
Alex Kipman, who previously worked on the Xbox Kinect motion sensor camera unveiled Windows Holographic and HoloLens, a virtual reality headset which enables users to see and interact with holograms that appear around them. A demonstration video showed people wearing the headset and viewing Skype calls on a wall of their home, as well as games filling their living room.
"New ways to communicate, new ways to create – that's the dream we've been pursuing. Imagine an architect walking around their designs while clients are reviewing it remotely," said Mr Kipman.
"We invented the most advanced holographic computer the world has ever seen."
The HoloLens headset works without any connection to a PC or any wires.
"HoloLens has see-through, holographic lenses", said Mr Kipman.
The device enables users to draw in the air, working on holograms of programs that appear through the headset. The device knows where you are looking and responds to gestures and voice commands. Users can even create objects as holograms and then 3D print them to physically create them using a new suite called Holo Studio.
Virtual reality headsets such as the Oculus Rift and Samsung Gear VR are becoming increasingly popular and usable, and now Microsoft has entered the marketplace for the first time. Microsoft also revealed that the technology giant has worked with Nasa on its hologram technology, including with the Mars Curiosity Rover.
