Hiroo Onoda, a former Japanese army intelligence officer who fought in World War II and did not surrender in 1945. In 1974 his former commander traveled from Japan to personally issue orders relieving him from duty. Onoda had spent almost 30 years holding out in the Philippines.
On February 20, 1974, Onoda met a Japanese college dropout, Norio Suzuki, who was traveling the world and was looking for "Lieutenant Onoda, a panda, and the Abominable Snowman, in that order". Suzuki found Onoda after four days of searching. Onoda and Suzuki became friends, but Onoda still refused to surrender, saying that he was waiting for orders from a superior officer.
Suzuki returned to Japan with photographs of himself and Onoda as proof of their encounter, and the Japanese government located Onoda's commanding officer, Major Taniguchi, who had since become a bookseller. He flew to Lubang where on March 9, 1974, he finally met with Onoda and fulfilled the promise made in 1944, "Whatever happens, we'll come back for you,"

The Obama administration today shelved a Bush administration plan to allow drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, delaying a final decision on the controversial policy for at least six months to give states, enviros and others time to weigh in on it.
In announcing the move, Interior Sec. Ken Salazar said that more time was needed to mull offshore renewable energy alternatives "torpedoed" by Bush officials in favor of oil and natural gas. "To establish an orderly process that allows us to make wise decisions based on sound information, we need to set aside" the plan, he said in a statement, "and create our own timeline."
Salazar also ordered the Interior Department to report on potential renewable energy sources such as wave and wind on the Outer Continental Shelf (where the feds oversee 1.7 billion acres), noting that the Bush policy was based on data that is "thin" and at least 20 to 30 years old.
"We shouldn't make decisions to sell off taxpayer resources based on old information," he said.
Congress last year failed to renew a decades-old moratorium on oil and gas exploration across 85 percent of the Outer Continental Shelf, which left all waters previously off limits (estimated to hold billions of untapped barrels of oil and trillions of cubic feet of natural gas) potentially open to exploration.
But four days before Bush left office, officials issued a draft plan that called for the Interior Department to open areas off the East Coast and the coasts of California and Alaska to oil and gas exploration during a five-year period from 2010 to 2015. (Offshore drilling is already allowed in the Gulf of Mexico.)
Environmentalists and coastal states were up in arms, arguing that drilling could lead to spills (that could sully the waters and harm fish and wildlife) and that the feds' should shift their focus from oil and gas to renewable energy sources.
Salazar said that when he issues a final rulemaking "in the coming months," it "will allow us to move from the 'oil and gas' only approach of the previous administration."
"We must embrace President Obama's vision of energy independence," he added, "for the sake of our national security, our economic security, and our environmental security."
The move comes a week after House Republicans urged Obama to keep the Pacific and Atlantic coastlines open for (oil and gas) business.

More efficient house-building techniques can reduce the electricity needs by 80%. Combined with solar panels on every roof, and a wind turbine in every backyard, you've got all the power you need. The "grid" would simply connect these houses in the case that one household's equipment fails, it is supported by the others. Distributed power is the way to go. Centralized power is a national security risk. If only a handful of plants are down, it can cause rolling blackouts across the entire country. However, if the power is created by every home, then there is no way that an enemy could knock out the power for the entire country.
This would require quite a bit of reform in the construction industry. They must be taught how to build efficiently instead of simply telling them that "it can be done." It would also require that there be sufficient subsidies applied to these alternative energy solutions so that they are affordable to the consumer. The cost of these subsidies could easily be covered by an increasing carbon tax.
We could also build Norway's hydrogen power plant, that is no larger than an American refrigerator, can be placed anywhere quickly, is charged by water, and place one at each home in America; that would provide more electricity than we will ever need in our existence. When those small powerful power plants are in place, we can dismantle these dangerous power and telephone lines and never have to worry about our electricity ever going out again. This would also create thousands of never ending jobs that never have to be outsourced. Now that we have a president who can actually think about something other than death, destruction, and poverty, we need to quickly get away from all forms of fossil fuel and clean up our planet. Thank God the republicans are out of power.

I've been signing petitions, sending emails and even "snail-mail" for a long time to try and stop Bush Inc. from selling the off-shore oil rights to the highest bidder. Using that (potential) resource now was such a bad idea.
Petrolium products have many uses, some of which are still unique. To designate an untapped potential resource for energy production, when there are many other energy sources, is very near-sighted. Not to mention the environmental costs!

GT Academy 2012 is not available in AUS. Many other Australians are playing it though, I suspect they have US cousins or perhaps family in the UK and have been able to download the Academy from the respective PSN Store.
Obviously, their participating times will not be counted as a qualifying time, they also probably don't realise that any earned DLC will not work with their localised copy of GT5.

How they are doing this is anyones guess but if i can help you get it then i will but i dont know how ?????? Ive logged onto other psn for other regions by going on the web browser on the ps3 and finding psn and selecting the countrie i wanted.It may let you download gta from eu psn but the dlc would be a bit of a grey area and you could be right about that.

Right i see.Oh well you know what to do then.I know it sucks and its not right at all it should be open to anyone with a ps3 regardless and if i were you i would most likely feel a bit insulted by this but then thats sony.

I have downloaded the GT Academy 2012, am really enjoying it.
I do not have the game, but have now ordered it, as enjoying so much.
What I would like to know is do we get to keep GT Academy at the end of the contest, or does it stop at the end of the contest?
Have not played Gran Turismo since the PS1, wished I had got it for my PS3 ages ago.
on 03-06-2012 11:54 PM
I haven't heard, but I presume the servers will be available for a short while after the open part is over, since the servers will still be needed for the next level. However, I have no idea if they will allow our times to be updated, too.
on 04-06-2012 09:12 AM
I should have said the main reason for asking is, as new to this I have no chance off getting all the cars in the time limit (if at all), and it would be nice to get some of them.
I am amazed at how addictive it is (especially as I have NO chance in winning), this is why I have ordered the game as well (hoping that turns up Wednesday, after the Bank Holidays).
I know I did enjoy GT 1 & 2 on the PS1, but just thought it was because I was younger then.

Back to the ticket tonight Chuck Norris as you may know he's a very conservative guys and new movie called the expendable is too.
But it is his political point of view that's getting most of the attention these days.
So you cause in trouble again and blowing things up in the political rhetoric take a look.
If we look -- history our great country and freedom are under attack.
We're at a tipping point and quite possibly our country as we know it.
May be lost forever if we don't change the course our country's headed.
See you and saying look where we're headed for Armageddon in what way -- I don't say Armageddon we need to go one direction.
Left -- so that would be socialism or right.
Which would be people who were they're trying to make the money -- insults why are you different saved from Barack Obama who wants to share the wealth redistribute the wealth why -- you on the other side well I grew up as a Democrat.
But see what has happened.
Is the Democrats have gone further left and the Republicans have the hunt Bluetooth to where the Democrats were forty years ago.
But what -- you object to and in the redistribution of wealth the fact that they're affecting the small businesses like country and when you drive around the country you see these stores that are closed.
Out of business.
Because of what's going on with our economy.
That really tears my heart up.
And we've got to get somebody in the White House.
Who has the experience to turn this around and get these small companies back going again I don't tax me I don't care you know would you you don't care if you paid more -- IS IP humongous amount of -- -- to watch you do to right.
-- do you want to pay 4045%.
Which is where they would take you.
The income re distributors if they could if it would help.
I wouldn't mind it but the thing is that will not help because the more money congress gets the more money they spend.
-- and -- absolutely -- I think Larry Larson had to go I don't mind paying more money but I don't wanna going to -- exactly you know I don't think -- don't -- right then I got to see that it's doing some good.
Could you -- the foundation I have a foundation -- we -- a lot of money privately.
To charities that we know that's like the wounded warriors have Fisher has these people who we know they do do help him okay.
He's what you always would right now OK I was surprised you do all I mean you -- to get up there without a monitor.
And start you don't just start trying to -- off the cuff right.
Is really a difficult thing to do you know the less clinical now you wouldn't and Stallone and Ned Bruce Willis and Schwarzenegger.
You're in his six venables to -- OK so it's like geezer is killing everybody.
The far.
I'll be back.
We'll be back.
These are my conservative but he's you know a group I think that's an inside look at that conservative -- the audio Arnold and I -- no I talked aren't alive I was I help campaign for him when you're governor real disappointed.
-- -- he's he's fighting the powers that be.
But he didn't weigh in on I don't know on -- you know he'll finally gave up you don't think it gave up fighting against the democratic legislature.
Trying to find is that you know I can do is also another -- you're just sitting call last ounce of courage.
You're not in the moving but you -- want people go see him -- him why.
Well I saw a screening -- it and it really affected me because -- what we all are all deal with freedom and our country.
And it's like god -- we use a clip have you on the show by the way which I really appreciate you letting -- I -- the movies yeah.
That's right -- of the -- Talking about Christmas Christmas has become controversial in America public displays of the federal holiday are under attack by the ACLU.
I'll watch every night -- and so the thing I remember that I sit yelled that's what this movie's all about individual freedom -- -- not -- the government encroach and historian the mayor -- -- -- who.
You know it's a very secular talent they call went on the winner must instead of Christmas that things like that that -- that direction we're going.

There is no conflict between Moss and VY. The safety over the top eyeing Moss almost the entire game. Vince was 12 of 16 for 165 yards. He did the same thing that Favre and Brady did all year when Moss was double covered, he threw to the open man. It's a pretty crappy thing for a coach to come out and say that about his qb. Fisher's throwing the same qb under the bus that saved his job twice but without him to end the season he probably wont be able to have his job saved a third time in 5 years.

The first buses carrying passengers from a disabled cruise ship are pulling away to take them to next stop on their odyssey.
The cruise ship terminal in Mobile, Ala., was raucous late Thursday as passengers streamed off the Triumph.
What was supposed to be a pampered voyage changed for the worse when an engine fire Sunday knocked out primary power to the ship.
After, the trip was marked by overflowing toilets, food shortages and foul odors.
Carnival said passengers have the option of a seven-hour bus ride to the Texas cities of Galveston or Houston or a two-hour trip to New Orleans. Some also can stay in Mobile.

Dick Newick an innovative marine architect who pioneered the development of light, fast multihulls in designs he created and built on Martha's Vineyard in 1960s and 70s, died on August 28, in Sebastopol, California, at 87.
Mr. Newick designed catamarans, including the big, well known Moxie, which was an astonishing sight flying across Vineyard Haven Harbor at speeds that made old time schooner types blanch. And, he built a class of tri-hulls – a main hull flanked by two balancing hulls called amas. The AC72 catamarans with 130-foot-tall wing sails now competing for the America's Cup in San Francisco Bay draw on design ideas Mr. Newick championed.
"Dick Newick's contributions to the development of multihull design in the second half of the 20th century simply can't be overstated," said Dave Gerr. Mr. Gerr was the director of the Westlawn Institute of Marine Technology, when Mr. Newick was inducted into the North American Boat Designers Hall of Fame in 2008. "Not only would multihulls look different today without Dick's innovations, but his designs paved the way for the universally acknowledged offshore-capable speedsters they are."
Mr. Newick moved to the Vineyard from St. Croix in the United States Virgin Islands. An early creation was the Trice, a 36-foot trimaran, or three-hulled boat, built of plywood and fiberglass.
The following is from The New York Times obituary, published September 16:
"Mr. Newick decided to enter the Trice in the annual race from Newport, R.I., to Bermuda, "to see how my boats stacked up against the big boys." Skeptics abounded: an editorial in a sailing magazine called it "unsafe on any sea." Mr. Newick waited until the bigger traditional boats set off, and then tagged along. The Trice, with its crew of four, beat all but two much larger traditional boats.
"Three years later, Mr. Newick designed his version of an ancient Polynesian outrigger canoe known as a proa. Like the traditional boats, it had no bow or stern and could sail with either end forward. People said his boat, Cheers, seemed to have emerged from a science fiction novel.
"In 1968, Mr. Newick entered it in a quadrennial one-person trans-Atlantic race — from Plymouth, England, to Newport — sponsored by the British newspaper The Observer. The race, known as the Observer Single-Handed Trans-Atlantic Race, or Ostar, imposed no restrictions on size or design. Skippered by Tom Follett, Cheers finished third over all, beating much larger conventional boats. Mr. Follett was the first American to finish the race.
Cheers is now owned by a French couple, who restored it to its original form. The government of France, where long-distance sail competition is a major sport, declared the boat a historical monument.
""I think it was not just the speed but also the beauty of Newick's boats that so strongly stimulated the aesthetic sensibilities of the French," wrote Richard Boehmer, a nautical historian.
"In 1976, a 31-foot trimaran that Mr. Newick designed, Third Turtle, finished third in the trans-Atlantic race, losing to two French boats, a 73-foot monohull and a 236-foot juggernaut. In 1980, Philip Weld, a 65-year-old retired newspaper publisher, skippered Moxie, another Newick trimaran, to victory in the solo Atlantic race. Mr. Weld called that boat "a breakthrough in showing how science can use wind to drive vessels."
"For the next quarter-century, multihulls won almost every long-distance offshore event they were allowed to enter.
"Richard Cooper Newick, who his family said died of heart failure, was born in Hackensack, N.J., on May 9, 1926. He grew up in Rutherford, N.J., where at age 10 he built two kayaks with his father and brother. At 12, he designed and built two kayaks by himself. At 14, he sold plans for a kayak to a schoolmate for $5.
"After a hitch in the Navy, he earned a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley. He ran a boat shop, worked with Quakers helping disadvantaged people in Mexico, and then roamed hundreds of miles on Europe's rivers and canals in a kayak. He sailed the oceans until he landed in St. Croix, where he met and married Patricia Ann Moe. They later lived in Martha's Vineyard and Kittery Point, Me.
"In addition to his wife, Mr. Newick is survived by his daughters, Lark Blair and Val Wright, both of whom have boat designs named after them; his brother, Bob; and six grandchildren.
When asked where he had gotten the ideas for the 140 or so designs he completed, Mr. Newick, who believed in reincarnation, said he had been a Polynesian boat builder in a previous life. He called the Polynesians' 4,000-year-old canoes "the wave of the future," especially as he reimagined them.
"The ancient and modern multihull boats, he explained, shared a theme: simplicity. "It takes a good and creative person," he said, "to do something simply."

Sail-World.com : New research shows how much food is needed by seabirds
New research shows how much food is needed by seabirds
'Krill - Euphausia superba. The catch of a net land off South Georgia: Antarctic Krill, Euphausia superba.'
British Antarctic Survey ©
It has been shown by an international group of scientists that numerous seabirds begin to suffer when the available food in the ocean declines beneath a critical level. The level is about one-third of the maximum measured amount of food available.
They have found that this critical level is about the same for seabird species around the world. Their study — the most comprehensive ever undertaken — covers birds from the Arctic to the Antarctic and from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
The study focussed upon seabirds near the top of the food chain that feed mainly on fish like sardines, anchovies and sand eels and, in the Antarctic, on krill (small, shrimp-like crustaceans). These seabirds are often key species in marine ecosystems that are sometimes also exploited by fishers, but exploitation of species on which they feed can put them at risk.
Dr Ian Boyd of the Scottish Ocean Institute, University of St Andrews, who co-led the study, said, 'When combined with the effects of climate change, we need to develop better methods of setting the limits of exploitation of important marine species.
Brown skua and Adelie penguins. Basically fish-eaters brown skuas are also predators and scavengers. -
British Antarctic Survey?nid=92568
This means being able to establish general guidelines that, if exceeded, will cause changes to other important components in the ecosystems. Seabirds are some of the best and most easily measured indicators we have of the health of these ecosystems and it seems sensible to use them in this context'.
The researchers used data collected from fourteen species including penguins, terns, skuas and a species of gull. Their success at producing chicks was measured by counting the number of nests and the resulting chicks, yielding an estimate for the average number of chicks produced per nest. This was related to annual estimates of the abundance of that species' prey based on counts or, in the case of krill, on the reflection of sound waves emitted from research ships.
Observation periods of between 15 and 47 years yielded an overall total of 438 years of observations, which constitutes one of the most comprehensive global databases ever assembled for predators and their prey.
The effect of low prey abundance was similar in all regions of the world. When the amount of fish in the sea was greater than one-third of the maximum ever recorded, the number of chicks produced was unaffected by changes in food availability. But if the fish abundance fell below this one-third threshold then breeding success declined.
Leader of the team, Dr Philippe Cury of the French Research Institute for Development (IRD) said, 'We were amazed by the consistency of the relationship around the globe. This suggests that we have found an important benchmark that could be used as a guide to limit the amount of fish taken from the sea in order to maintain seabird populations in the long term.'
The team were stimulated to undertake their study by growing concerns about the effects that fishing may be having upon some of these important species in marine ecosystems.
Professor Eugene Murphy of British Antarctic Survey and a co-author of the report, said, 'In the Antarctic overall levels of krill fishing are currently low and sustainable. However, the congregation of many predators in concentrated areas for breeding can mean that local krill exploitation may affect the viability of these breeding colonies.'
This study highlights the importance of long-term observations in developing our understanding of complex marine ecosystems.

Good news on the cheaper beer. But Pepsi?
At least its marginally better than RC.
Why cant we just have normal soft drinks? Is it really that hard to partner with Coke? Vast majority of people in the south drink Coke.
In addition to new products, the Hornets have also worked diligently with SMG and Centerplate to make several price reductions on concessions. One of the highlights includes dropping the price of 16-oz. draft beers from $8 to $6. On Friday nights, $5 16-oz. draft beers will be available to compliment the Hornets Friday Night 12-game Package, which is designed to give fans the opportunity to tip off the weekend with the excitement of an enhanced pre-game party with live music at Champions Square followed by a Hornets game.
Notable reductions also include a $.25 price cut on water, as well as reduced costs on hot dogs, and chicken wings. In addition to the reductions, prices have been frozen on several fan-favorite items, including nachos and chicken tenders.
Hope a lot of things have reduced price someday. Them nachos are too damn pricey. I mean, damn supply and demand. I wish I was the only person that loved nachos. Then they'd plummet and Eman would come out on top!
Tune in on Fridays at 12 noon for Sport-a-Facts with Ro Brown and Wednesdays at 1pm for Sports Revolution to hear me speak my mind on all things Saints and Pelicans related and more.
Only on WBOK 1230 AM.
Feel free to PM me for more details.

aaaah man we had COKE for pre season!?! Oh well... Pepsi still better then RC i guess...
.... i was so happy when i walked in and saw Coke too.
I wonder if this is what made the 1 dollar beer go away for preseason?
I'm glad to have 6 dollar beer but not if it takes away 1 dollar beer.
I'll tell you guys a little tip we learned since Rouses opened down the street. You can get a loaded burrito there for 6.50 and not touch Arena prices. Many other things as well.
Fowl Line better be staying!!!
I rarely purchase anything at the Arena.
Coke fan.
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
I'm fine with Pepsi and, yes, I rarely buy stadium food. I can live for ~three hours without consuming anything. At most I'll get a small drink.
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
Woooo! I love Pepsi. RC is dead!
You know 7Up is a Pepsi product, right...?
Don't they usually couple Pepsi with 7-Up

Welcome to this tale set in Witch Hunt Era Salem, please take a seat and a cookie while I do my sales pitch.
In this tale you will incarnate a young woman who just travelled to the Americas from Europe to make a new, better life in Salem Town, Massachusetts. You are weak and ill from the long journey by boat, however, and are at Death's door when a mysterious entity propose to make a pact with you. At this moment you don't care that it may be the Devil itself that speaks to you as you accept, owing your mysterious new master allegiance, faith and sometimes even sacrifices in exchange from it's good will and blessing, permitting you to make incredible feat of knowledge, medicine, health and physical labor or curse or even kill your rivals or enemies as long as you have enough of it's favors accumulated.
This is the first part of this tale, the accumulation of Mysterious Favors, which grants your character boons and safe passage in dangerous situations. They can be gained by doing rituals, tasks and even uttering prayer to your character's entity and must remain over five favors at all time for each entity to be favorable to a character.
The entity will not encompass the whole story, however, but will push you to make suspicious action, raising your character's Suspicion and bringing her nearer to either death by the stakes or exile to the inhospitable and wild lands of the Savage, now known as American Natives. Be careful of your Suspicion, for only devout bouts at the town's church or sacrifice of Credibility can restore it in a timely fashion, the option of laying low not available to one both scrutinized and indentured to some bloodthirsty spirit.
The third 'stat' you will have to watch for is Credibility, gained through passing time helping the community of Salem grow and making acquaintances and, yes, even marriages with others. Credibility can be helpful with both suspicion, where a sacrifice of five credibility brings back down one point of suspicion, but it can also help when dealing with others, such as lowering the difficulty of task or the price of merchandise.
Now that that's done, there is a few more things I have to add: Each day will be separated in cycles of Day and Night, each with it's personalized task to complete or fail to continue to the next cycle. Completing a task instead of failing it brings double the reward, so trying hard to do them in a satisfactory or even outstanding fashion is vastly preferred.
There you go, don't hesitate to give advice, ask questions or state your interest!

Now that he's eligible for the championship, Gordon likes his chances, especially given the 10 tracks that make up the Chase.
"We have 10 or at least eight, I'd say, good racetracks that are in the Chase that I really like, that we run well at, and it starts right here in Chicago," Gordon said. "This is a good track for us. We qualified well (sixth for Sunday's GEICO 400, the first Chase race).
"New Hampshire is a great track for us. Martinsville is a great track for us. Obviously, Homestead is a great track. We ran great in Charlotte. I mean, I would say Kansas and Phoenix are the two that are probably on our radar that we need to do better at. Texas is another good track for us.
"So I'm excited. I know we haven't shown it yet this year, but this team is ready to show it now. So I think that the one thing is, when you get yourself in this position, you want to show the world and our racing community -- the ones that support us and the ones that didn't -- that we belong here, and there's a reason why we're in this thing."
One driver who wasn't thrilled with Gordon's addition to the Chase was Martin Truex Jr., who lost his Chase spot Monday after he and the organization that fields his cars, Michael Waltrip Racing, were penalized heavily by NASCAR for attempted manipulation of the outcome at Richmond.
A 50-point penalty to Truex, assessed before the Chase field was set, elevated Ryan Newman into the Chase as the second wild card and knocked Truex out of that spot.
"I'm not even sure what to say at this point, to be honest with you," Truex said Friday, after learning of Gordon's inclusion in the Chase field. "I'm kind of at a loss for words ... how they make a spot for somebody ...
"They kick me out to make a spot for somebody, and then they don't do the same for the other guys. It's just unfair -- and nothing I can do about it."
Truex and Gordon do share one thing. They both have incentive to perform over the next 10 races. Interestingly, Truex led the first Sprint Cup practice session Saturday with a lap at 182.383 mph. Who was second? Gordon at 182.328 mph.

Romania prepares for parliamentary elections
Romania is gearing up for elections this Sunday to choose MPs in both houses of Parliament. Voters are tired of a political class which is renowned for its corruption. Meanwhile, the economic crisis which is affecting all of Europe has hardly warmed people's feelings towards politicians either. The right preaches the gospel of austerity - not a popular solution for many - while the left promises a lot, but is tainted by its historical links with the Communist system.

He is very enthusiastic to be involved with an activist organization that stands in opposition to the dynamics of male domination which characterize so many activist groups.

People who aren't afraid of heights. The last photo almost looks like some kind of sci-fi city to me (I think it's actually Moscow though)!
omfg I can't GET FUCKING DOWN FROM THERE RIGHT NOW
The Historic and Haunted Ghost Town of Bodie
The old mining town of Bodie, California is America's best preserved ghost town. Dating back to 1859, Bodie is literally frozen in time and looked after as an historic park. The town is both authentic and mysterious, with original fixtures, furniture, and personal items in the buildings left untouched since their residents abandoned them.
Bodie abounds with legends of the paranormal, but none more famous than the haunted Cain residence. The man of the house had an affair with their maid. After being publicly disgraced, the unfortunate maid took her own life and reportedly haunts the house.
The Cain house is open to the public and has provided accommodation for park rangers. People have reported ghostly apparitions and strange music. Staying overnight in the house, park rangers and their wives have experienced paranormal events such as hearing strange noises, being paralyzed in bed, and seeing items move by themselves.
The most frightening legend of Bodie is a mysterious curse that follows many visitors after they leave the town. Allegedly, Bodie's ghosts serve as guardians to the town's property, casting bad luck and misfortune to souvenir hunters who take anything with them.
Each month, Bodie's park rangers receive objects and letters from people who admit to taking items and beg the rangers to put them back. The letters tell tales of horrible incidents such as mysterious illnesses, car accidents, and even death. The rangers frequently speak of these accounts and assure the senders that the objects are always returned to their original places.

Re: Extrawheelany idea what set up they have to harness the big bags on the side with webbing like they do here?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ijnEr1kn98 GO!! Run!!! GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
That video is well and truly out-of-date. The current Extrawheel has quite conventional pannier carriers. On the original version the bags were simply slung in nets either side. Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels...
Re: Extrawheel
The changes to the Extrawheel's design were brought about because the webbing had a tendency to catch on vegetation and rocks and the thin fiberglass rods that kept the covering away from the spokes, regularly failed. These rods were upgraded but now like the covering, they have been removed completely. With fewer bits, to go wrong, these early problems have been well sorted. Warren.

Re: ExtrawheelFor anyone interested, I have fitted an Extrawheel Voyager Upper Rack to my Voyager. Will see how it goes from next week.
Andrew Proudly "a bleeding heart with too much spare time on his hands"
Re: Extrawheel
Is this the top rack that fits the old style (pre may 2012 I think, from memory from their website) or the new style? From what I understand the newer model extra wheel is better designed to house the top rack. I've got the older style one and even though I have been seriously thinking about getting this top rack I have concerns that it will rattle loose due to the inevitable drawbacks of retro-fitting design. GO!! Run!!! GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Re: Extrawheel
I have the Voyager which I purchased in 2011 and it takes panniers. As far as I know the old model was the one with the slings on the side and that was changed to the Voyager some time back. I have no idea about a 2012 model and cannot find anything suggesting same on the Extrawheel website. As to the Upper Rack it fits my Voyager fine as per the photos. From the website it states:
Regards Andrew Proudly "a bleeding heart with too much spare time on his hands"
Re: ExtrawheelAndrew that added rack you placed on the extra wheel is a great idea well worth the investment in my opinion just to give more options .
Not long to go now mate you must be getting less sleep each night thinking about this big trip as the hours count down Ricky
Re: Extrawheel
Sorry just to set things straight - when I asked the q about the slings I didn't realize it was an older model. I have the regular pannier style extra wheel but if you look at the link for the top carrier rack .... http://www.extrawheelshop.com/en/upper- ... wheel.html ... you see that it has a drop window menu option for pre and post may 2012 pannier style extra wheel I'm guessing that the newer post may 2012 extra-wheel better accommodates the top rack (since it warrants some sort of difference when ordering the top rack) GO!! Run!!! GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Re: Extrawheel
No idea. Suggest you contact Extrawheel for an explanation. When I ordered both my rack and the one James is now using I just got them from http://www.biketrailershop.com/ and there was no option. I haven't heard of any issues from James with his one so far. Mind you he is on the Gibb River Road at the moment. I guess that will test it somewhat Andrew Proudly "a bleeding heart with too much spare time on his hands"
Re: Extrawheel
I hope so. My tent fits it nicely so will probably use it for that. This way the spare tyre can go on the rack. WIth the tyre on the rack it is easy to get the panniers on an off. No spreading over the edges of the rack. My only remaining bulky item is my quilt. Will have to live with that for now. New bag on the menu when I return.

Re: ExtrawheelEXTRA wheel? You already have one too many. You guys are soft!
Unicyclist's don't need a training wheel
Re: Extrawheel
An update. James is reporting that he had issues with the rack on the Extrawheel Voyager whilst riding the Gibb River Road. Details are sketchy but it seems that the rack mount broke at some point. Not promising. A couple of points to keep in mind: Not sure what wheels and tyres James is running and if that has made a difference nor what weight James is carrying so that may also have an impact. Andrew Proudly "a bleeding heart with too much spare time on his hands"
Re: ExtrawheelHello.
My two cents worth. I am not sure the upper rack is equipped for long term off road testing. About half way (at Mt Barnet Roadhouse) down the Gibb river Road I noticed the front mount had snapped. Not the bolt, but above the bolt the alloy snapped in half. YMMV (first time I've ever used that abbreviation) but there is not enough give in the rack in my opinion to take long term off road hammering. I was running 32mm tires at 60 psi. How much difference a bike with suspension would make I am not sure, however I do not think that much difference. The trailer bounces along by itself. A bloke wrapped some foam around and secured it with cable ties and that lasted a few more days. Then a few days later one of the arms extending vertical snapped off too. Not sure if anything could be done, not a fault of the bolts, or over tightening. I only had about 3.5 kg on it; sleeping bag, tent and pump. Luckily for me I met a mobile caravan service guy who insisted on fixing it for free. Now it's better than new. Perfect on road. The trailer itself has been a dream. I often have to look back to make sure it is still there.
Re: ExtrawheelThis German extreme touring couple took a slightly different approach to boosting the Extrawheel carrying capacity.

Re: ExtrawheelIn light of the feedback of the top rack and the germans custom job, I'm thinking to try mounting a front frame on the extrawheel.
Thinking about the surly nice front rack http://surlybikes.com/parts/surly_rack/ or perhaps going for an old man mountain rack (since they are designed for mountain bikes with a complete absence of standard mounting points for front racks) http://www.bikebagshop.com/omm-sherpa-f ... -1128.html any suggestions (or experience with either the surly nice front rack or the old man mountain sherpa front rack)? GO!! Run!!! GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Re: ExtrawheelI have the Nice Rack on the front, a cargo bike is where it belongs. A robust but heavy and fiddly to mount rack, at least on the thick legs of my Surly forks. The OMM would be far lighter but not as functional although that depend upon what you might strap on it.
CRC sells a clone of the Nice Rack for 50-70 bucks, search for item 188050. Ragley Rack 'em Up. Looks to have all the same fittings as the Surly, rated to the same load weight of 32kgs, also CrMo.
Re: ExtrawheelHi, has anyone used the ragley rack and if so how did it go.
Is it exactly the same design as the surly rack. Cheers
Re: ExtrawheelBasically just after something to keep things mounted to the top of the pannier out of the spokes. The extra wheel top carrier sounds like a questionable retrofit and after reading on other forums about the extra wheel losing its low point of gravity (and hence stability) with an extra (loaded up) pannier rack welded on I opted for something a bit cheaper I just rigged this up out of low density poly pipe, glue soaked cotton wool balls, two hose clamps, an elastic strap, a few zip ties and about 15 hose pipe joiners. (light as a feather) The two back braces have joiners filled up with a sort of araldite glue soaked cotton wool so they can take a bit of compression from the hose clamps. The front has an extended T joiner in the middle that reaches down into the cavity of the extra wheel frame. Its just held in place with a short elastic luggage strap so it doesn't bounce out of the cavity. Also did the same glue trick on the two joiners that take the brunt of the elastic strap and the joiner end at the bottom of the extrawheel cavity but it was probably unnecessary. Taken it for a little spin and its structural enough to do the job and seems to have enough flex to avoid snapping . I'm thinking it might even hold up for mounting my 1 man tent on the top. Not doing any serious touring till next year but I will take it on a 9 day spin in a month or two. Admittedly not the coolest looking thing on the velodrome but then I guess touring cyclists don't really care GO!! Run!!! GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Re: ExtrawheelHi All!
Given the foregoing discussion, you may be interested in a new project I have in the works using an ExtraWheel trailer, SON28 Klassik dynohub, B&M e-Werk, and wind-and solar supplementation as a do-all power-generating and vidcam filming/powering solution. You're welcome to follow the project as it progresses over at the Thorn Cycles Forum, here: http://www.thorncycles.co.uk/forums/ind ... 9#msg25499 This is a project I've been working on for some time in my efforts to find a do-all solution to provide me with extra cargo capacity for my dry-region touring as well as for generating the power I need when solo and self-supported, well away from mains power. There's a lot going on, and it is in development, but should be a fun project. I've been lurking and following BNA for some time, and have learned much from you and have greatly enjoyed your many photos of touring in "the Land Down Under". Best, Dan.
Re: Extrawheel
Hi Dan, a belated welcome to the forum. I somehow missed your post. I'm about to follow your link to see how you got on. I've just had wrongly delivered a son28 centrelock disk hub (I ordered a 6 bolt). Your idea of using one as a dedicated trailer wheel has got my interest. Look forward to seeing your next post.

Go Back
By Jason Hensel July 31, 2012
WEC speaker Misha Glouberman was so wildly popular on Monday that he presented his session, "Unconferences and Open Spaces: Designing Participatory Events to Create Real Connections," again on Tuesday.
Session attendees learned more about how to run an unconference and the benefits of doing so. As part of their education, Glouberman had attendees break into groups of four with people they didn't know and meet each other. He then had them break up those groups and regroup into another group of four strangers. This time, they were asked to discuss what they hoped to get out of WEC.
Afterwards, Glouberman asked anyone if they had a subject they wanted to talk about. One person would suggest a topic, and Glouberman would then ask if anyone else in the room wanted to talk about that too. He'd then group them together. As one attendee said, he is a "conversation matchmaker."
"This is the session I was most looking forward to attending," said Nann Philips, a planner for Dallas HR and the HR Southwest Conference. "I was expecting great ideas, and the one that sticks out the most is that it's okay to give participants the permission to think in unstructured ways. If you just trust them, they'll surprise you with what they come up with."
