No judging: Steve Carell discusses marriage, Meryl Streep, 'Hope Springs' — and his historical obsession
Photo by Columbia Pictures
Can Steve Carell do "deep" as marriage counselor Dr. Feld in "Hope Springs"? Yes! It turns out the "Office" star is no 40-year-old virgin when it comes to discussing sex and intimacy with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones as unhappy marrieds. When I asked "Devil Wears Prada" director David Frankel why he cast Carell, Frankel said: "I looked at the full range of Steve's performance in 'The Office' -- he can always find the pathos in Michael Scott. No one could do that without deep compassion. He is Dr. Feld in real life."
Thelma Adams: So, Steve, what drew you to this project?
Steve Carell: Here was a movie with Meryl Streep attached inviting me to be a part of it. Buy me a plane ticket!
TA: What was it like working with her?
SC: She brings such a joy to acting. She lived up to every expectation. She would try new things. After this incredible career, there's no resting on laurels whatsoever.
TA: Did you get any acting tips?
SC: I gave her a lot of tips.
TA: You play a marriage counselor, and she's your patient. What insight did you bring to this role?
SC: My intent was to have a guy who is nonjudgmental and earnest to a fault. To me that is what a therapist is about, creating an environment of comfort and enabling people to open up…
TA: …in a safe space.
SC: In a very safe environment. That was all I wanted to achieve, because the movie is not about me. I'm there to assist this couple and to help them try to connect the dots.

TA: Have you ever seen a marriage counselor?
SC: No, I never have, but I spoke to counselors.
TA: Did you have a model for Dr. Feld?
SC: I modeled him after one man in particular who had that voice and demeanor. One of the things I loved best about him was that he wore sandals and white socks, but it almost seemed like too much of a character type.
TA: What did you discover?
SC: Every therapist has a different approach. The approach that I was taking was that this guy isn't there to solve your problems. He's there to open up lines of communication that may have been dormant for a long time. There's no eye rolling. My character doesn't comment on any part of what they're saying in any sort of judgmental way, which to me was a real challenge because so much of comedy is that taking it in and formulating an opinion about what you're hearing.
TA: And responding.
SC: And responding. With this character, you're taking out that formulating a personal opinion. It's all about committing to helping these people open up to each other.
TA: Although I think this is part of the problem in couples therapy. I've been married 25 years...
SC: Seventeen today.
TA: Congratulations!
SC: We're doing all right. [knocks wood on coffee table]
TA: To have a roommate, much less a soulmate, for 17 years, 25 years, or 31 years like Kay and Arnold in the movie, is not easy. I do think that marriage counselors tend to have their favorite within the couple. Do you think that was the case with this character?
SC: No.
TA: I would say yes.
SC: Well, certainly not consciously.
TA: Because Streep's Kay is so much more sympathetic.
SC: Yes. But I think that that's also kind of a trap to fall into, because in the mind of my character, Jones's Arnold is a harder nut to crack. It's clear from the get-go that he was the one who was dragged there. She was the one who was already cognizant of the fact that there was a problem, so he was the one who needed to be focused on, and was more work.

When I am working with a child, adolescent, or adult with a strong desire for change it naturally leads to a richer therapy experience and positive impact on their life. Through developing insights about oneself and building new coping skills in a supportive environment, old patterns that no longer work can be changed and what were problems in living become foundations for a healthier life."

Faith-based counseling can help individuals and couples find their way back to their former selves, make change and repair relationships, restoring our joy and peace.

I am grateful to the individual who chooses to explore with me the answers they may already hold. The process of bringing concerns to the room and taking the time to look, study and explore individual needs and strengths begins the journey to self acceptance."

Nice But Needs Improvement
October 23, 2014
Nice little lights. Inexpensive. Needs to be a little brighter. The adhesive sometimes works, sometimes not. Need more reliable adhesive. If the adhesive was better I would buy more.
Pros:Inexpensive. Small. Good idea. Great for small inconspicuous places. Can be stuck on just about anything.
Cons:Not very bright. Needs better adhesive.

Almost Perfect
January 22, 2014
I have needed lighting on my stairs and these are exactly what I was looking for. The only problem is the tape comes loose and they fall off. My 6 year old niece took them all off and put them on the stairs between the banister poles. Now they don't fall off any more.
Pros:Perfect lights for dark stairway.
Cons:Tape isn't strong enough.

Have had these for about a week and love them. Just the right touch for my stairs. On/off threshold pretty good, not bright by any means, but I didn't want or need bright. Wondering how long the batteries will last. I just set them on one side of the stairs and they're awesome. Looks like an airport runway.
Pros:Great little lights
Cons:Gotta love those blister packs! Impenetrable.

Great little light!
May 15, 2013
I purchased two packs of these tiny lights to use on my stairway. They are perfect to mark the steps - they are not bright enough to light up the whole step. I had planned on putting them on every other step however, I just ordered two more packs so that each step could be marked. They look very nice. I did not even have to use the sticky backing. I just tucked them into the corner edge of each step. This was exactly what I had been looking for and this was the only place I found them. Thanks!
Pros:Look very nice when lit at night on the stairway!

Mini guide lights
February 14, 2013
I love these little lights. We have a true multi-level house and these do very well at illuminating and therefore marking the single steps that separate the various levels of our house, as well as the multiple full and partial sets of stairs.
Pros:Ease of use and application
Cons:This is going to be expensive when the batteries have to be replaced in a year or so, as the batteries are probably going to run $2-3 each.

Diffuse light, but good
January 6, 2013
We use these to light the stairs to our lower level. It is an open design and needed something to remind you that there is a stairway there in the middle of the night and my home theatre is downstairs and I didn't want people turning the stair lights on in the middle of a show. The light is very diffuse and I guess I was expecting a brighter light. They are really more for marking, than illuminating a space. That is not to say they don't work. They provide enough light to let you know this is a stairwell. We put 1 every 4 steps and you can navigate the stairs in the middle of the night (or movie) without turning on lights.
Pros:Inconspicuous Classy design
Cons:Not a bright white light, not a con, just a warning.

These are fabulous!
December 30, 2012
I have two entries into my kitchen and both entries have two four-inch steps which are difficult to detect due to how the step coloring blends together. I was afraid of someone falling in the dark who was not expecting the short steps.
Pros:These lights work perfectly. I may paint the outside of them so that they blend better during the day and don't contrast so much with the floor stain. They are solar powered so only light up when all the lights are completely off.
Cons:They do not light up the whole stair. They only provide a warning-type of light that something is there - imagine a large glowing button.

For Immediate Release
October 1, 2010
Contact: Erika Monroe-Kane or Stephanie Hayden, Department of Children and Families, (608) 266-9000
Governor Doyle Proclaims October Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Governor Jim Doyle has proclaimed October as "National Domestic Violence Awareness Month" in recognition of the important work done by domestic violence programs across Wisconsin. Domestic Violence Awareness Month is a time to reflect on how communities can work together to build healthy, thriving families free from the threat of violence.
"Everyday individuals and organizations across Wisconsin help families rebuild their lives for a brighter tomorrow following the trauma of domestic violence," said Department of Children and Families Secretary Reggie Bicha. "This month, we celebrate those who work to break the cycle of violence and create a safe, hopeful future for all in Wisconsin."
The Department of Children and Families (DCF) is committed to stopping domestic violence and is at the forefront of a national movement to improve the response of child welfare agencies to domestic abuse. In addition to a number of new initiatives, DCF is releasing a new domestic violence handbook this month to help child protective agents work better with families experiencing domestic abuse. Children who witness abuse often become adults who inflict violence on others, spurring a tragic cycle of violence that must be stopped. By providing guidance to child welfare agencies about domestic abuse, DCF will help ensure brighter futures for children and families.
On the DCF website throughout the month of October, DCF will highlight organizations and individuals across the state that are committed to ending domestic abuse, www.dcf.wisconsin.gov.

Grade Reform, Loyola Law School
We reported in November that Loyola Law School of Los Angeles was thinking about artificially raising grades. In response to the terrible economy, the school has acted on the proposal. Here's the opening line of the message from Loyola Law Dean Victor Gold:
Last week the faculty approved a proposal to modify the grading system. The change will boost by one step the letter grades assigned at each level of our mandatory curve. For example, what previously was a B- would be a B, what previously was a B would be a B+, and so forth. All other academic standards based on grades, such as the probation and disqualification thresholds, are also adjusted upwards by the same magnitude. For reasons that will be explained below, these changes are retroactive to include all grades that have been earned under the current grading system since it was adopted. This means that all grades already earned by current students will be changed. It also means that all grades going forward will be governed by the new curve. The effect of making the change retroactive will be to increase the GPA of all students by .333. The change will not alter relative class rank since the GPA of all students will be moved up by the same amount.
Loyola students are having difficulty getting jobs. In response, did the administration consider dropping tuition? Nope. Instead, they just gave everybody an extra third of a grade — retroactively, no less. That's not just inflation; that's a rewriting of history.
Really, are employers out there going to fall for this? Loyola hopes so….
I'm happy — I'm thrilled, even — that law school administrations are noticing their graduates cannot get jobs in this economy. Admitting you have a problem is the first step towards correcting the problem. But of all the things a school might do to help students get jobs, artificially inflating grades retroactively seems like the most shallow and cosmetic "solution" possible.
Loyola's rationales for the change are that, I don't know, (1) somehow its students are just as accomplished as kids at more highly-ranked California law schools, and (2) an easier grading curve reflects a higher-quality student body:
Reasons for Change
I asked the faculty to make this change for two reasons. First, grades provide information about our students and our academic program. Employers and external sources of scholarship dollars pay very careful attention to this information. The information conveyed by the old grading curve did not accurately convey the high quality of our students. Over the last several years our students have improved significantly as measured by all the usual standards of academic accomplishment. In 1999, the undergraduate GPA for the 25th/75th percentiles of our first year class was 3.00-3.50 and the LSAT was 154/160. In 2009 the GPA was 3.17-3.61 and the LSAT was 158-163. Just 70% of our 1999 graduates passed the July bar exam on the first attempt. Over 85% of our 2009 graduates passed on the first try.
Second, many other schools already have moved their curves higher than ours to give their students an advantage in this difficult job market. In fact, before this change, only one other accredited California law school had a mean grade for first year classes as low as ours. Without adjusting our curve, we send an inaccurate message to employers about the comparative quality of our students and put them at an unfair competitive disadvantage. Since we are adjusting our curve well after many other schools in our region already moved their curves higher, our faculty decided it was important to make this adjustment retroactive.
Well, why stop there? Let's give even more accolades to Loyola law students for exactly the same work they did before. How about everybody who shows up for every class session gets bumped up a full letter grade? Let's give everybody who gets a C an opportunity to turn that into a B if they pitch in with janitorial duty on the weekends. Why not give high performers a "double" A+; an A+ with a bright, shiny, happy star — just so that employers all know that these kids are the super-most-awesome kids in the bunch!
Oh wait … they're already doing that last one:
Note that the highest grade in the new curve is still called A+, as is the second to the highest grade. This is because there is no commonly accepted symbol for a grade above that level. While most grades of A+ will receive 4.333 grade points, those A+ grades that earn 4.667 grade points will be accompanied by an asterisk. The asterisk will lead the reader to an explanation on the transcript making clear that, as a result of the change in the curve we have now implemented, there are two possible grade point values for an A+. By way of comparison, USC Law School employs a system that allows for several different grade point values above 4.0.
Oh my God, would you get off of USC's jock? If USC started handing out free performance-enhancing drugs at exam time, would you do the same?
Because really, that's what we're talking about. When you break down Loyola's argument, it's essentially "everybody else is doing it, so why can't we?" It's great when Dolores O'Riordan does it, but when it's coming from a law school, it just sounds like atonal yodeling into a recessionary wind.
If you want to make it easier for students to feel good about themselves, that's one thing. But don't fool yourself into thinking that the number one thing hurting Loyola students in this job market is the grading curve. The school needs to convince prospective employers that its graduates will make better lawyers than USC law graduates. All this proves is that the Loyola administration can juke the stats.
If you want to help students during a recession, lower tuition. This cosmetic stuff wouldn't even fly in Hollywood.

Hi Joker,
I am looking for an iem around the 200-250 USD price range. The current iem that I have and enjoy is the CK100 but I want to get something cheaper with a similarish signature so I can use outside without being too worried that I'll drop/loose them. My preferred signature is something that sounds clear and detailed with a forward midrange/vocals and a treble that has good extension and air without sounding sibilant. Something that is airier with a bigger soundstage than the CK100 is a plus. I can't really describe the bass I like (definitely not a bass head though) but I do like to feel the impact of the drums, guitar solos/riffs and acoustic guitar. The 7550 sounds like the ideal iem that I'm looking for but I am not sure about the isolation and comfort of those. Is there something else I should be looking at that fits my description?
The 7550 is going to be less mid-forward and less bright than the CK100. The soundstage is nice and large, though, and sibilance is never a problem. Isolation is mediocre and the fit is atypical, but not uncomfortable once you get used to it. If you want a somewhat similar signature with the comfort and isolation of a BA earphone, the TDK BA200 is a good option. I compared the 7550 and BA200 in the BA200 review: http://theheadphonelist.com/headphone_review/tdk-ba200/
On the real cheap side (nothing wrong with getting a disposable IEM if it sounds good to you), I would strongly recommend the UE600 and Fidue A63
This surprises me. The foam tips aggravated my ears like crazy at first (which appears to be my fault for jiggling them around after they'd "settled"). but I don't understand how the size of the whole housing is an issue. You're not sticking the entire unit in your ear.
The housing is supposed to sit in your outer ear:
I currently have the IE80 and am in love with the sound signature, sound stage and all that good stuff. However, I commute long distances everyday and would appreciate any extra isolation I can get. I've tried the IE80s with Comply foam tips and while they did isolate more, I found the bass to be significantly muddied.
My question is, are there any universal IEMs at $400 to $500 that can give me the same kind of sound but with improved isolation? Thanks!
It depends on what aspects of the IE80's signature you want to keep and which you're willing move away from. There are a couple earphones with good isolation that also have strong bass and good (maybe not as wide as IE80, but good) soundstages. The ones that come to mind are the EarSonics SM64, 1964EARS V3, and the Yamaha EPH-100. The EPH-100 especially might make for a good commuting IEM in addition to your IE80, because it's relatively inexpensive and isolates really well.
Between the other two, the 1964-V3 has a brighter, more v-shaped signature than the IE80 while the SM64 is not as bassy but less bright and smoother. It has a bit less presence in the upper midrange, though.

It was the T6 2.9 engine that had the bad GM transmissions. This engine/transmission combo was last put in the xc90 in the 2005 model. Since that time, the transmissions paired with the 2.5T, the v8, and 3.2 engines ave been fine.

The schedule for Spring 2006 is in full swing. Just in case anyone is interested in meeting up with me somewhere in the world (or has some new gig they think I should go to) I thought it makes sense to post my schedule here.
What airline do you use? I think its stock might be going up.
ps. How goes things.
Does this mean you're not coming to Melbourne on the 6th? :-(
Sorry Grant, no I can't. I'll be in Brisbane that day. Steve is going to Melbourne.
I just got confirmation on AusCERT though, so I will be going to that in May. Of course, that's in Goldie, not really all that close to Melbourne.
You're going to Boston? And yes folks, I have to check his blog to find out where he is, just like the rest of you :-)
March 27 -30 - Reykjavik, Iceland for Rocked 2006
that is nice, must mark my calendar :)
Hey, I told my wife that I was going to Boston - what's wrong with you, Jesper? :-)
Damn, they let you have a vacation?
Security Summit West - Hey Jesper, on your blog it says that you are doing the Summit West May 10-11th. The site says the event is from May 9th-10th. Is this an error by any chance?
Yuri, yes, probably an error on my part. When I originally wrote this post, way back in February, the dates may have been tentative. I'll fix it.

Taking Learning to the Next Level: A Classroom Master Plan
By Jackie Ross Flaum
It's just the way things were done: Professors stood behind lecterns and wrote figures, dates and notes on whiteboards or wheeled in projectors to show overheads, while row after row of students sat in hard wooden tablet chairs perfect for balancing notebooks and writing class notes.
Few questioned whether that was the best environment for college professors to teach or students to learn. After all, it worked—thousands of lawyers, corporate executives, doctors, writers and even college professors received a liberal arts education that way at Rhodes College and elsewhere. Although today's faculty and students are far different from their counterparts of 50, 30 or even 10 years ago, the wooden tablet chairs remained in rows and the projectors were still wheeled in.
Nobody questioned whether there was a better way to use classroom space to improve the academic process.
Until last year.
Today, Rhodes is one of the few colleges in the nation to possess a master plan for the use of academic space. Other schools such as Vassar, the University of Richmond and Connecticut College have developed classroom master plans. And that's where Rhodes began—but that's not where its master plan ended.
"We did more than classroom master planning, actually," said Dr. Bob Johnson, vice president of Information Services at Rhodes. He and the academic dean, Robert Llewellyn, came up with the money to fund the planning. "We asked our architects to look at all learning spaces, which included classrooms, laboratories, study spaces and even faculty offices. This kind of planning puts all the possibilities on the table, asks for input from faculty and students, and then tries to match use with the available resources while bringing the parts into a coherent whole worth more than the sum of the parts. It's the difference between campus master planning and merely renovating a building."
Only a year ago the planning committee began with the question of how to create effective classrooms. The group examined what had always been done and asked: Is this the optimal environment for teaching and learning? Today's professors have lectures that are supported with computerized data, images, outlines, texts and video clips that must be projected onto a screen. They download Web pages of information for use in the classroom, while students take notes on laptop computers. Students and faculty engage in discussions more often than ever before. How do the wooden tablet desks designed for paper notebooks and the fixed lecterns of yesteryear fill their needs?
The answers are now in Palmer 205, Clough 313 and the lecture room in Buckman 216—the first tangible results of the Rhodes master academic space plan. "We'd never done classroom or academic space planning here. We had a campus master plan where we asked, 'Where do we put buildings?' We've also studied traffic patterns to decide where to put cars near those buildings—that sort of thing. But we never planned for what goes on in those academic spaces," said John Olsen, associate dean of academic affairs and a member of the planning committee.
When the architects and committee members interviewed faculty members and department heads about their ideal classroom space, three distinct types emerged. To test them all, the committee commissioned a prototype of each of the three at about $60,000 per room. The classrooms in Palmer, Clough and Buckman, created last summer from existing rooms, are being tested by students and professors. "We thought it important to show the faculty and students we were serious about this," said Chuck Stinemetz, Biology Department chair and associate professor who chaired of the master plan committee.
The types of classroom space not only reflect different teaching styles but also account for the small, medium and large classroom sizes the college needs. Developers also tried to give faculty members most of what they said they wanted in space and technology:
- Palmer contains the more traditional student chairs–but these chairs are on wheels and have laptop-friendly tablet arms.
- Clough has the discussion configuration with more space and moveable tables and chairs that can be arranged in a U, rectangle or closed square.
- Buckman has a lecture room with tables and chairs in rows facing a lectern.
The three new classrooms have similarities as well as differences. In addition to comfortable chairs, correct lighting placement, complementary color schemes and flooring, proper temperature control and good acoustics, each new classroom has uniform technology—even the computers in the rooms work the same—so faculty members don't have to learn and relearn how to use the equipment in each space they use. Each has such things as a lectern with a computer to operate the video projector in the ceiling, CD/DVD, PowerPoint and VCR capability, open sight lines, blackout window curtains and track lighting for best viewing of material on a screen.
Professor Michelle Mattson, associate professor of German and chair of the Modern Languages Department, uses Palmer 205 and says she's "90 percent" happy with it. She served on the planning committee and wanted more technology. But she finds the new space better for teaching German than the older classrooms. "We need utmost flexibility," she said. Her ideal classroom must be flexible enough for students to listen to lectures as one, then break into small groups. "We wanted tablet armchairs, too. These chairs have bigger tablets, move on wheels and offer more space for taller or larger people."
Initial student reviews of the classrooms proved to be just what the committee hoped: 10 times more comfortable, a nicer learning environment, clear sight lines to the board or screens and places to set and use their laptops.
The new spaces "should contribute to more effective teaching, but they were also designed to allow for implementation of new pedagogies or teaching styles," said Stinemetz. For example, he said, more professors are leaning toward problem-based learning for students. Students do more learning outside the classroom, and in class they learn to apply that information. Stinemetz said that type of teaching goes hand in hand with the new curriculum and calls for small groups—and classroom space that is flexible enough to get students into small groups. "The new spaces allow that type of teaching."
Once Rhodes and its architectural firm, Ellenzweig Associates Inc. of Cambridge, MA, began looking at classroom space, they became aware that the college was in a rare position.
"What made the Rhodes project so interesting was the study of all academic space on campus, such as the faculty offices and science labs, and not just classroom spaces," said Matthew Ali, project manager for Ellenzweig. "This was due to the unique opportunity of a good deal of space becoming available in the old Burrow Library upon completion of the new Paul Barret Jr. Library. We looked at the organization of the departments and made recommendations for the long-term locations and layouts of all the departments; some, like the History Department, would be moved entirely, but most would remain where they were with modifications to their current layouts. The plan presents a new way of looking at the current buildings, provides the best use for the existing space, and makes recommendations for renovations for the next five to 10 years."
In deciding on the use of existing academic space, Olsen said: "It was a real juggling act with all the details." Still, the need was clear. Some departments were spread across campus, some were shoehorned into spaces, and others expected to expand the number of faculty members but had no office space to offer.
The committee and architects settled on several factors to consider when planning space:
- Academic offices would be standardized to about 10 by 15 feet. Currently, faculty members have offices that range from grand sizes to broom closets.
- Academic departments would be physically located together.
- Offices, like classrooms, would make the best use of modern lighting, color schemes and acoustics and carpet innovations to make the space user-friendly.
- Academic space would offer centralized meeting areas where faculty and students could meet, talk, have coffee and interact.
Having set those parameters, the committee began studying which departments should make the first move when the time and funding are right. The architects suggested first creating those spaces that would be least expensive and invasive, such as:
- Setting up the History Department on the second floor of Buckman. "We'd never thought of that—frankly, it had never occurred to us. There was no reason for them to be in Clough other than they've always been there," said Olsen.
- Connecting the Biology Department in Frazier Jelke and the Chemistry Department in Kennedy by opening up the adjacent walls. "Those sciences are interconnected. Buildings should reflect the kind of students you want within them. That's the kind of student we want for the future: one who can think in a very interdisciplinary fashion, not just biology or chemistry. In some way in creating space we are recreating the thought processes we want students to have," said Stinemetz.
- Renovating Ohlendorf Hall, the mathematics building.
Other moves and changes involve what Olsen calls the "domino effect." The biggest domino will involve the Burrow building and its future that will accomodate some administrative offices currently located in Palmer. Then the Modern Languages Department, scattered over four buildings, can move into Palmer with the English department.
For the immediate future, the committee hopes to open more optimized classroom space over the coming summer. As funding becomes available, the college will move forward with other items in its plan.
"When it's all finished, a number of classrooms will have nothing more dramatic than different furniture and baseline technology. Some of the rooms will have been completely rebuilt, however. In some cases, departments will move to different buildings altogether," said Johnson. In other cases, the departments will stay put, but their classes will be moved to the same locations, allowing them to build more of a "homeroom" scenario.
When it's all finished, Rhodes will have the classroom and academic space most institutions will never even dream about—or plan for.

►2008 Kawasaki Versys Specifications
Special Report by H.B.C. for webBikeWorld.com
The Kawasaki Versys Story
2008 Kawasaki Versys U.S. Overview
Kawasaki announced the availability of the Versys in
the U.S. market for 2008. "The new 2008 Kawasaki
Versys is a machine which occupies a hard to define
sweet spot in the motorcycling universe. Is it a
practical commuter? Long-legged urban assault
vehicle? Sportbike? Light Tourer?
The answer on all counts is a resounding Yes!
This isn't a niche specialist but rather a
jack-of-all-trades with user-friendly versatility as one
of its many charms.
The 649cc parallel twin and the neutral handling and
light steering chassis of the Ninja 650R sportbike made
the perfect starting point for this comfortable gridlock
commando. A swoopy gull-wing swingarm, long-travel
inverted 41mm fork, six-spoke Superbike-inspired wheels,
adjustable-height windscreen and a comfortable cockpit
were combined to create a motorcycle that just begs to
be ridden wherever the pavement might lead."
649cc parallel twin-cylinder, DOHC
engine is the most compact in its category.
The engine is considerably smaller
than that of the Ninja 500 and helps reduce the
dimension of the entire motorcycle
Tuned to deliver smooth, responsive
power in the low-to mid-rpm range with exceptional
roll-on response -- ideal for negotiating city traffic
Triangular crank and transmission
shaft layout makes it short front to back, a
semi-dry sump oil system reduces overall engine
height, and the narrow pitch of the chrome composite
plated aluminum cylinders helps reduce engine width
Muffler with 3-way catalyzer and
bullet-tip opening is mounted below the engine to
help lower the center of gravity and aid weight
180-degree crankshaft plus balancer
shaft for extremely smooth engine operation
Oil jets on the connecting rod big
ends spray oil on the undersides of the pistons to
aid cooling
Liquid Cooling
Maintains consistent engine
temperatures for long engine life and sustained
power during hard use
Allows closer engine tolerances for
more horsepower
Fewer external hoses because the
coolant is routed through the engine cases
2008 U.S. Version of the Kawasaki Versys
Digital Fuel Injection (DFI)
Six-Speed Transmission
Trellis Frame
High tensile steel trellis frame is
small and light
Designed using 3-dimensional
computer analysis to achieve the optimum stiffness
balance for better handling
Narrow at the knees and feet for
increased rider comfort and control
Single shock Rear Suspension
Aluminum gull-wing swingarm and
offset, laydown single rear shock complement the
frame design to create an integrated line flowing
from the steering head to the rear hub
Short, compact frame and engine
design allows the swingarm to be longer, which helps
improve overall handling
Showa shock has adjustable preload
and rebound damping and uses a free piston and
two-stage damping valves for smooth action during
initial compression that becomes much firmer near
the end of the stroke for a more planted feel
Long-Travel Fork
41mm Inverted fork with stiff
springs combines the best of off-road and
sportbike-type suspension for excellent performance
over a wide range of conditions
Tapered, relatively short outer
tubes help provide the ideal stiffness balance to
compliment chassis settings
Fork height, preload and rebound
damping can all be adjusted to fine-tune the
suspension to specific conditions or riding style
Triple Petal Design Brake Discs
Petal design rotors offer improved
cooling and warp resistance
Same rotor design as found on the
Ninja ZX-6R and ZX-10R Supersport machines
Six-spoke wheels
Comfortable Cockpit
Each part of the two-piece seat was
designed with a different thickness and firmness of
foam to optimize comfort for both rider and
Passenger seat and grab bars were
designed to provide a natural seating position for
added comfort
Easy-to-read instrument panel has a
large analog tachometer and digital readout for the
speedometer, fuel gauge, odometer, dual trip meters
and clock. White LED backlighting provides increased
visibility at night
Adjustable Windscreen

NTSB Releases Preliminary Report on Washington Bridge Collapse
(KUOW, Seattle) Federal investigators have some ideas about what led to last month's I-5 bridge collapse over the Skagit River.
The preliminary report, released Tuesday, says the driver of the truck that struck the bridge before it fell had moved over closer to the edge of the bridge because of a passing truck.
The bridge collapsed on May 23 after a truck carrying an oversized load hit supports along the top.
According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the truck driver told investigators that he felt "crowded" by another semitruck that was trying to pass him on the left, so he moved to the right.
That confirms eyewitness accounts. One of them was from Dan Sligh. The night of the crash, he told KING 5 News that the second semi almost penned in the oversized truck.
"At that point the wide load caught the right side of the bridge," he said. "There was a loud boom. A big puff of dust appeared."
Shortly after the puff of dust, the bridge span fell into the Skagit River.
The right lane had less clearance than the left lane, and the NTSB has previously said the oversized load could probably have crossed the bridge safely if it had been in the left lane. But the agency is still working to verify that.
The new information raises questions about bridge safety and truck regulations. For example, if a pilot car had been trailing the wide load, it could have prevented the second semi from passing. But that wasn't required under current regulations.
Jim Wright, Washington State Department of Transportation's program manager for oversized loads, said pilot cars that follow oversized loads have an important role. "They tell the operator of the transport vehicle, traffic that's approaching from the rear, and if need be they can close off a lane so that transport vehicle can move over into that lane," he said.
Under current rules, the load that hit the bridge was too small to require a rear pilot vehicle.
The NTSB continues to investigate. A WSDOT spokesman said the agency had no comment until the federal investigation is complete.

Friday as I was leaving work I thought, maybe someone wants to go out for drinks. But the moment passed and the office emptied and I was on my way home to an empty apartment. I sat on my bed for a while going through a list of things I could do and people I could call. There were plenty of options, but all involved getting up off of that bed, exerting the energy to make a connection, and then getting into my car and going somewhere. I even turned down free dinner and the best homemade margaritas ever at my parents' house because I couldn't be bothered to drive half an hour.
I made my go-to dinner when I'm home and lazy–pasta with shredded cheese and settled on the couch for a night of sloth. I flipped TV channels, alternating between Sex and the City reruns, Say Yes to the Dress (the obnoxious bridesmaids one), and–let's reserve judgement here–Freaky Friday (the Lindsey Lohan/Jamie Lee Curtis one). And before you go clucking your tongue and shaking your head and pitying my sad taste in movies, I just need to say that I have an affection for movies when Lindsey Lohan was cute/pretty/likable.
Anyway. A couple of hours into this funfest I decided that I needed to make cookies and I needed to make them without butter. Because I didn't have any. It turns out this is not an unusual endeavor because I had a few recipes to choose from. The end result wasn't quite the same as a chewy cookie filled with butter but it tasted great dunked in milk. I think it could have a stronger peanut butter flavor but overall, they're pretty good for missing a major cooking ingredient and something I'd make again in a pinch. I might add oats to a normal peanut butter cookie recipe; I like the crunch they add.
My husband came home around 11:00 while I was watching DC Cupcakes Takes New York and I saw my night through his eyes and we went out to a bar for a few hours. Sure, it was the closest bar to our house, but it was better than the couch.
I followed The Curious Cook's recipe, using 1/4 cup peanut oil and 1/4 cup vegetable oil. If you don't use peanut oil, I'd up the amount of peanut butter.

Bacon Flavoured Jello: a step too far?
It all started with the bacon scarf; a realistic strand of seemingly edible product. This was followed by bacon shaving cream with an accompanying bacon lip balm for the ladies. Now the once bright world of bacon appreciation has turned into a dark and seedy world where the bacon obsessed will do almost anything to add a little touch of their favourite pork product to everything in sight.
Enter bacon flavoured Jello. Californian-based food artist Canida is behind the self-proclaimed piece of "concept art", which looks and tastes like real home-cured bacon. Although it may be entertaining, it feels like a lot of effort to start with real bacon and end up with a disturbingly squishy slab of Jello that looks and tastes like bacon…
Yes, I know you still want to try it. Here's the recipe.

The Congressional Record reveals rancorous opposition to women in the military from representatives of conservative and Southern states. Would men in a military system be willing to work with women or follow the orders of a woman officer? Were women physically and mentally capable of engaging in military operations? Would women be able to live without privacy and comfort for long periods of time? Despite arguments against women serving their country in the military, on 14 May 1942, Congress approved Public Law 554 with a narrow margin in favor and 98 abstentions. In the final days of debate, the need to mobilize for war on two fronts helped some of the congressmen to overcome their traditional views.
Given the opportunity to join the armed forces, thousands of women patriotically volunteered. The women knew they could contribute significantly to ensure a U.S. victory over the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan), which were seeking political hegemony over the democratic world. Besides their motives of patriotism, many women volunteers looked at the armed forces as an organization that could also help them develop technical skills. Further, the women could find adventure while gaining respect from their families and friends. Since they performed the same work as men did in the military in these support roles, these women helped to enlarge the view of an American society in which women could be treated with more equality. The military hierarchy of commanding officers under the Secretary of the Defense noted favorably and repeatedly the qualifications and competence of these women stateside and in all three theaters of warfare.
Women who served in the war gained much from their military experience. Military service during World War II gave many women, and men, the skills needed to suceed in work and professional careers once the war was over. Self-discipline and teamwork were key principles for those who served in the military. Also, women of different ethnic, racial, religious, and geographical backgrounds learned from and about each other. Travel and awareness of a wider world was opened to many thousands of women by their service in Europe, Africa, and the Pacific. Finally, their performance in nontraditional jobs increased their sense of self-worth as they were praised for service to their country. Marian Desrosiers

Powerful winds and waves have caused seaside business operators to erect no-swimming signs along local beaches in Chanthaburi.
The warning signs have gone up on Chao Lao and Laem Sadet beaches in Tha Mai district of the eastern province to ensure public safety during the rainy season.
The local Meteorological Department office said on Saturday that the southwest monsoon in the Gulf of Thailand was contributing to the severe weather. Heavy rainstorms were predicted in Chanthaburi and adjacent Trat province and boat operators were warned to be cautious about rough seas.
The weathermen forecast that the southwest monsoon will strengthen in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea from Sunday through Wednesday. At the same time, low pressure in the Gulf of Tonkin off northern Vietnam will contribute to heavier rain, high winds and waves 2-4 metres high in the upper Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea.
Consequently, small boats are advised to stay ashore until the turbulence subsides.

(First posted in 'rec.boats' newsgroup.)
In my Uncle Ben's boat, coming down Lake Huron towards home, we ran into a peculiar fog. It was in a steady wind of about 20 kts and the visibility was rarely enough to see the bow of the boat from the cockpit. Large droplets striking the sails and rigging collected and poured into the cockpit continuously. We ran the oven almost all the time with clothes and shoes drying.
This was in the days before GPS and even before affordable LORAN, so we were navigating by ded reckoning, depthfinder, and a not-too-reliable Heathkit radio direction finder. We did have a home-made radar reflector which turned out to be almost exactly like what Davis is selling these days for their top-of-the-line RR.
The wind was almost directly against us, so we were "bouncing" off the Canadian shore with the depthfinder (since the radio beacon geometry was poor on that side) and using the RDF to "bounce" off the charted location of the traffic separation scheme for the 500-1000' lake freighters on the west side of the lake.
We had made good almost the full 200 miles of the north to south length of the lake after four and a half days without sighting anything farther away than our mast, when we evidently pushed a little too far west.
Through the fog we could hear the "clank-thump, clank-thump" of one of the old steamers coming down the lake. Alternating with our lung-powered reed-horn was the sound of of a steam whistle sounding the fog signal. We cupped our ears and listened to try and determine where the freighter was and finally decided we should come about rather than continue. When we did, there was a horrendous cacaphony: the engine sounds stopped for a moment and then went to twice the rate; monstrous splashing and thrashing; the steam-whistle switched to a series of short blasts! Then came the only sighting we made until the fog lifted a day later: Looking up at an angle of about 45 degrees we saw the sternrail of the freighter gliding by us and below it was the huge propeller thrashing in reverse, throwing white water a hundred feet in the air, or so it seemed.
Evidently the pilot of the freighter could see us on his radar and knew that our original course would clear, although it would be close. Then we tacked right back under his bow. Our best estimate by listening was that he HADN'T seen us and that we were still short of his path, but I guess we were wrong on both counts. My uncle is gone, my father is over 80, my cousin and I are well over 50, but we still remember that trip.
Happy to be here, thank you.
For those not familiar with the Great Lakes freighters,
here are a couple of pictures of one that I took a
few days later. Note that this boat, the John Dykstra (644'),
could NOT have been the one we encountered out in the lake,
since the JD was upbound, and the one we encountered was
