Comments On Sep 05, 2014:Doesn't stay on, water gets in just as easy, even makes the quad run bad, "flutters"

Comments On Aug 09, 2014:At first I was a little skeptical about the screen mesh keeping all the mud and gunk out of the air box. But after a few years of riding I am pleasantly surprised in this airbox lid. After a long day of riding through the muck there is mud on the lid but none has ever seeped through to the air filter. I Would buy this again.

Comments On Oct 07, 2013:Not bad if you just want to add a little airflow for your box and keep out debris. save your money and buy an FCI from fuel customs .com. This is not enough to gain any HP on the KFX450R.

Comments On Sep 05, 2013:I had an ltr 450 with a cherry bomb, no baffle and an no airbox lid. I go trail riding in Pennsylvania so i wanted more protection to my air filter. I bought this and at first it always came off which drove me crazy. I would put it in as firm as physically possible and i'd start the engine. One rev of the motor and the cover popped off. I finally said screw it and bent the two tabs down a little bit more and it worked perfect. I highly suggest doing it! My friend has a kfx 450r and his had no problem btw. works great in trail riding.

Comments On Aug 21, 2013:Not worth the money I ended up not using a air box lid at all, the only time I use it not is on muddy days

Comments On Aug 17, 2013:Works awesome on my kfx but it is a lid so the seal on the top of the box is not complete but i put double sided tape along the sides of the Moflow and it works even better now

Comments On Jun 10, 2013:got to test it out good at st.joes in Missouri and it kept sand and water out filter was completely clean after 3 days of non stop riding way to expensive though.

Comments On Nov 17, 2012:Fit perfectly. I installed with modquad air filter assembly and power commander...I made other major installs at same time so I can't say for sure but it feels/sounds like it all made a difference. You do lose some height on the airbox inlet...if you cross deep water...it could be an issue.
Additional Comments On Jun 09, 2013:After a couple months...good buy.

Comments On Jan 27, 2013:I had just received this product and it was great. I could see how some people did not like it because it sits on top of the air box and gets tightened to the top, it does not go around the sides. This is meant to be better than the air box lid removed, which it is. It is not meant to be run through the water and get soaked. You should run this with the outer wears pre filter sock and you are set. The lid DOES A GREAT JOD WITH KEEPING WATER OUT. It will let a little water through when it is hit with a direct stream, but when you pour water on and let it sit, it does not let anything through. I do recommend this product.

Authorities are once again searching for Christina Adkins, a Cleveland missing person from 18 years ago.
Their current search has brought the FBI and Cleveland Police to the grassy area just off I-90 E and 1-76 South, a relatively small area.
FBI and Cleveland Police held a news conference Friday morning. Ongoing police work from a previous search brought them to the grassy area. Investigators are pretty confident a resolution is near.
"Investigators have obviously not given up on this case. They never have. We do feel that we're on to something and we will have resolution before too long," said FBI spokesperson Vicki Anderson.
The family of Adkins was notified Friday morning about the new search.
Adkins went missing in January of 1995. She was last seen on West 25th Street. She was 18-years-old and five months pregnant.
Acting on a tip earlier this month cops scoured Clark Fields on the city's west side. Then in late August, officials searched a home on Vega Avenue for the body of Adkins. Both searches turned up empty.

It's been a while since I've blogged. So much has happened. Unfortunately, I was laid off from the Blue Moon Cafe. Stupid economy. I am sad because the job really fit me well and I enjoyed my co-workers a lot. Oh well, no one ever said life would be simple!
I am not quite sure what I will do in the future.. it will be interesting to see what the next step in this journey is! I am for hire if you need a vegetarian/vegan/RAW chef in the Boston/Portsmouth/Portland area!
I've been taking pics, but not blogging.... so there will be many pics coming up this week.
Also, there will be a Wheatgrass Juicer Giveaway happening in the next couple of days... stay tuned for details!
Now, onto the food. We just experienced a HUGE ice storm.. my EX lost power for 2 days... and it's been bitterly cold. My dog had to come stay with me.. (and both my kids were here at the same time!).. My kids both had head colds, so soup and the Good Stir Fry were on the menu. Also, Andrew begged for Sushi, so I had to bring the Wasabi on! We enjoy eating sushi like a wrap, so I used what I had on had to fill these up: Kale, Sweet Potato, Avocado, Cucumber, Carrots, Pickled Ginger, Salt/Pepper and served it with wasabi, siracha and soy sauce with toasted sesame oil and seeds.. Next time I will line the nori with kale instead of putting still warm sweet potato on it! (duh)
1 t thyme
1 t basil
1 t tarragon
1 t rosemary
1 large onion, 1.5 cups chopped
8 cloves garlic, minced or 2.5 T
1 medium carrot, chopped
2 medium stalks celery, chopped
1 lb dried split peas
6 -8 c water or vegetable stock
2 bouillon cubes if not using stock
1-3 canned chipotle peppers in adobo chopped
salt/pepper to taste
1 T balsamic vinegar
fresh parsley or cilantro if desired
In a heavy bottomed soup pot over medium heat add the dried spices,
onions and garlic and saute for several minutes. Add the carrot and
celery and saute for several more minutes, then add the peas. Stir to
coat with the veggie/spice mixture then add the water or stock. Bring
to a boil for several minutes then cover and turn down heat to a
strong simmer. Cook for 30 minutes or until the peas are tender. Add
the bouillon cube and more water if needed and the chiles. Cook for 15
minutes more, then stir in the balsamic vinegar. Taste and adjust
seasonings. Top with fresh herbs if desired.
Tomorrow, I will post the Wheatgrass Juicer Giveaway info and share an awesome Raw Thai Noodle Bowl Soup Recipe along with other raw eats I've been enjoying!

Build the bridge.
That's the big news coming out of the Mackinac Policy Conference. Build another bridge between Windsor and Detroit, Gov. Rick Snyder says. It's a matter of good business. Build it, the automakers agree. The editorial pages are beating the same drum. Haters of Matty Moroun, the billionaire owner of the Ambassador Bridge who controls a virtual monopoly on international shipping, want to see him dead.
It won't cost a thing, we're promised. The Canadians will pay the bulk of the projected $4 billion it will cost to build the new span. They've even offered to loan the state of Michigan $550 million to cover our portion of the costs.
Not so fast.
Now, I wasn't invited to Mackinac Island even though my relatives are buried in the Catholic cemetery there. But if I had been, here's what I'd be asking the legislators over a mint julep.
Why do the Canadians want the bridge so bad? Why are they willing to extend us a loan we never asked for? What's in it for us?
The fact of the matter is that Moroun is no coin collector. Although his company makes an estimated $45 million to $60 million in tolls, that's not where the money is.
Moroun is a trucking magnate. And since he privately owns the busiest overland commercial port on the continent, he is able to offer a discount to trucks crossing his bridge in exchange for exclusive shipping contracts. That's why the Big Three want a new bridge. He's got them by the throat when it comes to shipping Canadian-made auto parts.
That's why the Moroun family opposes a competing bridge. "Exclusivity is our whole business model," Matthew Moroun, the son, recently told me. "Take that away and you kill us."
That is exactly why Canada wants the new span. More than 70 percent of the trade crossing the bridge comes from Canada. That's $100 billion. More than our total trade with Japan.
The fact is, the Canadians are beating our brains out. Our trade imbalance with our neighbors to the north is only surpassed by that of China. Getting rid of Moroun lowers their costs.
While the geniuses in Washington sit on their hands when it comes to a national industrial policy, the Canadians are upgrading ports and railroad tracks. They are positioning themselves to be the logistics managers to the American market.
Detroit is a huge piece of their plan. Since the Motor City is situated close to the Ontario industrial cradle and is the quickest way to the NAFTA highway that stretches from Illinois to Mexico, the Canadians are offering to front that cash for the bridge.
Remember they also want to lease the Detroit Windsor Tunnel and expand the train tunnel underneath the Detroit River, which opens up behind the Michigan Central Rail Depot.
Except Moroun owns that too.
But let's forget about Moroun for a minute. Forget the shabby and tumbledown properties he owns on both sides of the river. Forget the gaping eyesore that is his train station..
If Detroit is one of the busiest ports in the Americas, then where's the money? As it stands, very little of that truck traffic stops here to buy a burger even.
We're promised long-term jobs by Gov. Snyder and the ministers in Ottawa, but no study has been completed on that. Nor has there been a traffic revenue study for the new bridge. Nor is there a finance plan in place to pay for it.
Instead of playing croquet on the lawn of the Grand Hotel, our representatives ought to try hardball. Try this as a negotiating stance. Canada wants the bridge built? Then pay for all of it. No strings attached.

He has done so remarkably well with everything up to this point, we have all just been amazed. Even that he is alive is a miracle. But we got a bit of bad news.[:(] He failed his newborn hearing test 3 times in the hospital. But the docs said that wasnt all that uncommon when they are on O2 b/c event hat subtle sound can affect the test. So now that he is off O2 they sent him to an audiologist for testing. Here is a cut and paste of my sisters email b/c it explains it better than I could:
"Hi, everyone! The latest on Ethan is that we had an appt. with audiology at MUSC yesterday for a hearing test. According to the audiologist, the test she did was one that (through an earpiece) sends a series of click sounds into the ear and then listens for how the ear reacts. Both of Ethan's ears "failed" the test, which automatically means we go for a higher level of testing. The next test is called "auditory brain stem activation" or something like that. Anyway, it will be a more precise way to tell if there is really any problem with his hearing, and if so, to what degree, etc.
They asked us if he startles, if he reacts to loud sounds, etc and he definitely does. That is a good sign. The new test cannot be done until around the end of July, when they have an opening in the schedule. I will let you know once I have an exact date. ""
So if all you guys could send your super prayers our way again please! Also, if anyone had this experience or any info we would greatly appreciate it!
Will 2-6-00 ( PE at 35 weeks)
Elizabeth 7-3-01 ( NO PE or PIH)
#3 EDD 10-25-04 Its a girl! So far so good!
Proud Aunt to Ethan born 27 weeks (March 8th) weighing 1lb 8 ounces! Our little fighter!
Now 5 pounds 5 ounces. He is home and off of oxygen!

My husband is one of those guys that likes to get home from work after a hard day and spend an hour on the video game console before I can even speak to him. It kind of got me upset in the beginning but I learned to live with it. I work a different shift than he does so it was important for me to be there when he was able to find centurylink and stay home when we were going to have it shipped to the house. I did not realize how expensive video game software was and it was really important to him so I had to make sure that I was home as they would not deliver it if someone was not able to sign for it when they were at home, it was great to be able to speak with him about it as he was so excited about it, I could not believe how great it was.
We had been having a hard time getting him happy since his mom died last year and I knew that it was going to be really important that we spent some time talking about things that would make him really happy. She died suddenly and we do not have any kids yet so he was sad that she was not able to meet any of her future grand children, if we were going to have any. It was hard for him to talk about it, but she has no other children and was always so happy about asking us when we were going to have some little babies. I feel guilty but we have not been able to have kids yet so when it happens, I know that it will be a great thing for us to happen.Click Here Now

A powdery substance in an envelope prompted an evacuation at 37th District Court in Warren on Monday.
"When she had opened it, a little puff of white smoke had come out of the envelope," said Rob Curtis, the court's administrator.
He called police after an employee opened the envelope around 10:00 a.m.
"I don't know whether it was an act of terrorism or threat to the court. There was nothing in the envelope itself that would give us any indication that it was. There was no message or anything like that in it," Curtis said. "It was an envelope filled with white powder, and it scared us."
About a week ago, a piece of junk mail mistakenly arrived at the court. There was nothing suspicious about it. The mail was addressed to somebody on Eleven Mile Road. An employee took that junk mail, put it inside another envelope, addressed it, put the court's return address on it and dropped it in the mail.
"It returned back to the court we believe on Friday as undeliverable. They opened it up this morning and found some type of powdery substance in it," said Captain David Hendrickson from the Warren Police Department.
"We went in with a Hazmat team. We located the substance. We checked the people that were in there. It came up 99 percent baby powder and foot powder," said Battalion Chief Kenneth Meyer from the Warren Fire Department.
Harmless powder, but what was it doing in the envelope? The Postal Service is investigating.
Meanwhile, the courthouse will be back open Tuesday morning.

When you use the PINES catalog or ask a librarian for help finding a book, you will probably be presented with a mysterious looking code called a call number. This code is used to determine where books should be put on the shelves so that all the books of a single subject can be kept together (for instance, all of the books on baseball will be kept together).
So, if you get a call number for a book, and find that book on the shelf, you can look to the left and right of that book and you may find other books that are similar to it that you might like to read as well. And, since most public and school libraries use the same call number system (Dewey Decimal), you can take that same call number to a different library and find books on that same topic on the shelf under the same general number!
So, let's say you have a code such as 796.332 LONG, HOWIE and you want to find it on the shelf.
Look at the number first - these are arranged on the shelf with the lowest number first:
647.99 701.347 710.1 727 796.031 796.332 796.333
Then, look at any letters (sometimes they will be author names such as LONG, but sometimes they will be codes such as B27) after the numbers - if the numbers are the same for several books, then they will be in order alphabetically:
Some types of books, such as novels written for teens, are in their own section of the library. If a book is shelved in a separate section, it will have a special code at the front of the call number to let you know where to find it. Here are a few common codes:
|Adult Fiction
|Adult Mystery
|Juvenile / Tween
|Juvenile Fiction
|Young Adult / Teen
Remember, if you can't figure out the code, just ask the library staff and we will be happy to help you!
You don't have to know what the numbers mean in order to find them on the shelves, but if you would like to understand it better, or to find the general area for a section of books without even looking up a call number in the catalog, you can familiarize yourself with the 10 main categories:
Within each of the main categories, the subjects are broken down further. For example:
So, you can tell just by looking at the call number that 796.332 LONG, HOWIE will be shelved in the Arts and Recreation section (700s) in the Recreational section (790s). Here are some links to a more complete description of the Dewey Decimal Classification system:

I too am considering this upgrade to SSD. This may seem trivial but try control panel, programs and features, windows features and untick internet explorer then reboot. Upon reboot go and retick the box to reinstall that feature. This has worked for me in the past when ie stopped functioning. Good Luck. Please let us know the results.
I have a Gateway NV59c laptop, and on this site I have a compatibility guarantee for the Crucial MX100 500 GB SSD I picked up.
I used Acronis to clone the drive. When I hook it up via USB with the Crucial adapter kit, I can see the drive is cloned. However when I remove my current HDD and replace it with the SSD, the computer doesn't even get to the BIOS screen, it just shows the Gateway splash, says hit F2 for Setup, but it won't respond to F, it shuts off and restarts. Rinse, repeat.
Any ideas? I don't want to return the SSD, I want to get it to work.
Hi all!
I apologize ahead of time, as I am not super techy.
About 7-8 months ago I replaced the HD and memory in my early 20078 24" iMac. All was working great, but about 2 months ago or so, it stopped booting up (white screen, folder with question mark.)
I finally got around to trying to fix it again, and got out a boot disk (Snow Leopard, as that is what I happened to have on a disk.) It starts the process of installing the OS, but when it gets to the screen that asks what disk to install the OS on, it never finds a disk. I am guessing there is some issue with the HD? Just trying to see if I can get some directional hints on how to next proceed.
HD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB SATA-600, part # ST3000DM001
Memory - 4GB kit (2GB x 2) 200-pin SODIMM, part # CT2K2G2S800M
I like to play around with my computer in a way that's not exactly easy on hard drives.
Basically, I compile a lot of applications from source code. I know that this is rough on mechanical hard drives from experience, because I go through hard drives once every 2-3 years on systems where I do this.
Also, I tend to reinstall my operating system(s) every few months or so in order to experiment/test various configurations. That's also rough on the hard drive because it involves reformatting/reinstalling stuff.
I'm getting ready to replace the HDD I just wore out in my Linux machine. I like the speed of SSDs (I run them in my Gaming systems without issue), but I don't know if an SSD could hold up to the way I use my "programming" computer.
Basically, I'm wondering if it's a better idea to buy cheap HDDs and run them into the ground to avoid wearing out an SSD within 6 months (which I've heard happens with write-intensive operations), or whether an SSD would survive in that environment for about the same 2-3 years as my hard drives.
Most people have only tested the drives under normal scenarios with Windows and gaming. My situation is a little different, though.
Any advice/experience that might be relevant?

They took no time at all to wear in and are extremely comfortable, robust but not too heavy or clunky but good grip on the soles. I have quite wide feet, normally size 4, but the size 5 fits perfectly. My only criticism is that this newer model does not have cleats to hold the laces tight.

Inaugural Pro Bowl Fantasy Draft Is a Big Bust
You won't find many people who love the NFL's Pro Bowl. According to a poll from the L.A. Times, 81% favor abolishing the annual Hawaiian all-star game altogether.
It's not like these uber-rich athletes need an all-expense paid trip to paradise anyway.
The actual game is always lame. Players don't go all-out for fear they might get hurt. Most big stars of the NFL never seem to even make the trip. They site numerous bumps, bruises, and the agonies of a long season for not going.
But as many athletes love to say, "It is what it is".
When I heard that the league was thinking about spicing things up, my interest was piqued.
The plan was to have Hall-Of-Famers Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders draft their respective teams from a pool of players who were already voted into this year's Pro Bowl. So, players from the same team could possibly play against each other. Players will not be pigeon-holed to play for their own conference. In theory, you would be able to see someone like Saints defensive end, Cameron Jordan blow-up New Orleans quarterback, Drew Brees in the backfield. That would be fun because those guys both play for the same team and it's not something we've ever been able to see before. Heck, it would probably be fun for the defensive player too, as they rarely ever get to hit their QB in practice.
Throw that theory out the window.
Each "Team Owner" was allowed to pick a pair of team captains for the offense and defense. Team Sanders selected Texans linebacker, J.J. Watt and Chiefs running back, Jamaal Charles as his captains. Team Rice went with Drew Brees and Rams defensive end, Robert Quinn. Team captains were also allowed to help draft their team.
So far, so good, right? The boring part came when the draft started. Both teams regularly let the draft clock expire before they got their picks in. As a Viking fan and fantasy football player, I remember what happens when you don't get your pick in in time. You LOSE it! Not in this goofy format. Each team was given as long as they needed to make their pick. And, it's not like they had to pour over hundreds of players and thousands of stats. They only had the Pro Bowl players to choose from.
To make matters worse, Day 1 of the draft was regulated to only picking players on the interior line. Because nothing is more fun than watching offensive guards go off the board. Then, they picked long-snappers. LONG-SNAPPERS! Kill me now.
Hopefully the next round will be more interesting with quarterbacks, running backs, secondary and the other sexy picks getting drafted.

There are many things which can build confidence in any situation. One of the most effective is having a vast, sound knowledge about the issue you are facing. When it comes to mortgage, the situation is no different, and the article below can give you what you need to know to build your confidence, so read on.
If you are considering quitting your job or accepting employment with a different company, delay the change until after the mortgage process has closed. Your mortgage loan has been approved based on the information originally submitted in your application. Any alteration can force a delay in closing or may even force your lender to overturn the decision to approve your loan.
Don't make any sudden moves with your credit during your mortgage process. If your mortgage is approved, your credit needs to stay put until closing. After a lender pulls up your credit and says you're approved, that doesn't mean it's a done deal. Many lenders will pull your credit again just before the loan closes. Avoid doing anything that could impact your credit. Don't close accounts or apply for new credit lines. Be sure to pay your bills on time and don't finance new cars.
Do not allow yourself to fall for whatever the banks tell you about getting a home mortgage. You have to remember that they are in the business of making money, and many of them are willing to use techniques to suck as much of that money out of you that they can.
When considering a home mortgage lender, check the lender's record with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB is an excellent resource for learning what your potential lender's reputation is. Unhappy customers can file a complaint with the BBB, and then the lender gets the opportunity to address the complaint and resolve it.
One type of loan that is not normally talked about is an interest only loan. This type of loan allows you to make low monthly payments for a certain period, then the payment amount increases. These loans are generally used to help you get into a home at a low monthly payment.
Before looking to buy a house, make sure you get pre-approved for a mortgage. Getting pre-approved lets you know how much you can spend on a property before you start bidding. It also prevents you from falling in love with a property you can't afford. Also, many times seller will consider buyers with pre-approval letters more seriously than those without it.
After applying for a home loan, ask your lender for a copy of the good faith estimate. This contains vital information about the costs associated with your home loan. Information includes the approximate cost of appraisals, commissions and surveys along with any points that are included in the loan agreement.
Ask a lot of questions of the mortgage lender you plan to use. The lender should answer your questions clearly, without being vague. If a lender dodges your questions or refuses to give a straight answer, you know it's time to look for a new home mortgage lender to work with.
If you want to pay a little more for your payment, consider a 15 year loan. Loans that are shorter term have lower interest rates. Overall, you will save thousands this way.
Knowledge is power. Watch home improvement shows, read homeowner nightmare types of news stories, and read books about fixing problems in houses. Arming yourself with knowledge can help you avoid signing a mortgage agreement for a house needing expensive repairs or an unexpected alligator removal. Knowing what you are getting into helps you avoid problems later.
Investigate preapprovals before you start home shopping. Preapproved mortgages will give you an idea of both how much home you can afford plus what your monthly mortgage payments will be. This will set the parameters of your home shopping and save you time not looking at properties you can't realistically afford.
Pay off more than your minimum to your home mortgage every month. Even $20 extra each month can help you pay off your mortgage more quickly over time. Plus, it'll mean less interest costs to you over the years too. If you can afford more, then feel free to pay more.
Before applying for a mortgage, settle on just how much you're willing to spend. Lenders who offer you more money than you think you can afford will give you different options. Never get a larger mortgage than you really need. Problems in your future could arise if you do this.
Pay your mortgage down faster to free up money for the future. Pay a little extra each month when you have some extra savings. When you pay the extra each month, make sure to let the bank know the over-payment is for the principal. You do not want them to put it towards the interest.
Don't be fooled by mortgage lenders that say there are "zero costs" to you at closing. It's typically a marketing ploy. The mortgage company places those funds either into the loan itself, or they are charging you a higher interest rate for the zero cost privilege. Either way, know that you are paying more over time.
Start out with smaller loans first to build a good rapport and reputation with the bank. For instance, if your goal is to get in a new home in two years, start out by taking out a loan with the lender, work to repay it, build up your credit, and then seek the mortgage. It's a longer process, to be sure, but the end result is that you will be a responsible borrower in the bank's eyes.
When you know it all in regards to mortgages, you can more easily move forward and make sound decisions. All it takes is a little bit of time on your part to learn as much as possible from this article. You now have what you need to be able to get a great mortgage today, so go do it!

Sometimes you just get THAT busy.
That's been the case over the past 2 weeks. It's been run from place-to-place followed by racing the clock to get to the gym before midnight. Tonight I can assure you is not a night for the gym. That however...is OK.
Sometimes when you are in the heat of the battle and constantly trying to go harder and run faster you forget that it's alright to take a day or 2 off each week. It's certainly not going to make you better or help you run stronger but from a mental standpoint it calms you...let's you force your mind to think about something other than losing those extra 10lbs and more than anything it gives you a moment of reflection.
So here I sit at 10:59pm on a Monday evening kicking myself for not making it to the gym in a timely manner. I keep asking myself will running be that much harder tomorrow?
It doesen't matter.
What's important is that you simply pick yourself up and get back on that treadmill on Tuesday. Monday is gone and you missed your workout...oh well. It's time to relax, reflect on the last 2 workouts and get pumped for a Tuesday that will not be ready for what you have to deliver at the gym.
Go hard or go home. Re-invent your Tuesday workout. Let's build on the reflection and make it the best you have ever had.

When my father died in 2011, I took on the task of cleaning out his office and storing many of his files. It was a tough thing to do, and so I just put things into boxes and stored them in a closet.
Recently, I took those items out of the boxes and went through them one-by-one. We are making a move into a new home and I needed to decide what to keep, what to give away and what to throw away.
What I found in those boxes not only gave me insight into his life and leadership, but it also gave me a stark look at my own life.

This is actually an updated version of part of the blog 'King Arthur – Man, Myth … or Both – Part Seven', but I thought it deserved its own blog.
First a quote:
"In the Scotorum Historia, "History of the Scots," compiled by Hector Boece (1527) and translated later into Older Scots by John Bellenden as the Chronicles of Scotland, the Irish hero Finn MacCool is depicted as a giant, and the narratives attached to him are compared to tales of Arthur. Boece and his translators contrast the "gestes [deeds] of Arthur" favorably with the "vulgar" traditions about Finn MacCool. It is easy to over-interpret such references, but Finn and Arthur as leaders of warrior bands have much in common, and both are endowed with gigantic stature (Nagy 1985). A series of Welsh tales gathered in the early seventeenth century with the specific purpose of defending Geoffrey's history against the attacks of men like Hector Boece also characterized Arthur as a giant or a trickster/giant-slayer." (Juliette Wood, A Companion to Arthurian Literature, Helen Fulton, 2009, p.107)
There have been similarities shown between Fionn mac Cumhail (Finn McCool), the Irish mythical hunter-warrior-poet, and Arthur. (Fionn (Fair) was his nickname, his actual name was Deimne). Could a mythological Arthur (or one of the elements that made him up) have been the British equivalent of Finn? Did his argued British counterpart originally have a similar name, like other British/Irish gods, which then was changed to Arthur? Perhaps, if Arthur's name didn't derive from the Greco-Roman character and stella body, Arcturus. ('Guardian of the Bear').
Cognate with Finn would be Gwyn ('Fair') or Gwen ('White'). There is, of course, Gwyn(n) ap Nudd (son of Nudd), and Finn's grandfather's name was Nuada, so was he actually Finn's British counterpart? There is one reference to this Gwyn as a "magic warrior huntsman" – which he is in the hunt for the Twrch Trwyth, – but, in general, they are two different characters and he is also unlike the Arthur persona. There is a character called Gwen Pendragon (Wen Pendragon) – the only other early pendragon we know of – who supposedly held Arthur prisoner for three days, but we no nothing more about him.
This is a long shot, but there are five other gwen/gwyn ('white'/'fair') association with Arthur: his wife Gwenhwyfar ('White Phantom'); his ship Predwyn ('Fair Form'); his magical cloak Gwenn ('White'); the name of his feasting hall is Ehangwen ('Broad-fair [white?]'); and his dagger Carnwennan ('White-hilted One'). This shouldn't be surprising since gwen/gwyn did have magical connotations. Coincidences with the names Gwen/Gwyn most likely, but they still give pause for thought.
If Arthur was a version of Gwyn ap Nudd, his story, even pre-Galfridian, had changed somewhat since their divergence, but this would be expected. As mentioned above, Gwyn ap Nudd appears with Arthur in the boar hunt in Culhwch ac Olwen.. It could be argued that both Gwyn ap Nudd and Mabon were the ones originally attached to the story, which is thought to have been in existence since at least the 7th century, and Arthur was later made the hero; but I somehow doubt very much if Arthur and Gwyn ap Nudd were one and the same. Even though he may have been described as "the hope of armies" and the "hero of hosts", Gwyn ap Nudd is a gatherer of the souls of fallen warriors in the Dialogue of Gwyn ap Nudd and Gwyddno Garanhir, found in the Black Book of Carmarthen.
It would be interesting if Arthur did replace Finn in Cambro-Irish southwest Wales, as he doesn't seem to have done so in western Scotland, which could be an indication of just how much more British those of Demetia (modern day Dyfed and Ceredigion) where in comparison to those of the Western Isles. But just how like Finn is Arthur of the early tradition?
No, honest, it's true!
I have often read how like Finn the character of Arthur is in the early stories, but I thought I ought to look at this myself, and see just how similar they are. I'll do this through a list:
- Outcast or outside of society: Finn is said to be, but I don't see this in the stories. In history a fianna (warband) could be an outcast bunch of youths, but that's not what Finn's warband were. Arthur isn't an outcast in the early stories. This doesn't seem to happen until the saints' Lives.
- Not a king: Finn isn't a 'king' but Arthur is 'Sovereign Lord of Britain' (pen tyrned).
- Hunter: Finn seems to mainly hunt dear, and is involved in the hunt for Green Boar of Beinn Gulbain. Arthur hunts the Twrch Trwyth.
- Poet: Finn yes and Arthur composes one englyn that satirises Cai.
- Has a magical dog: Finn has two dogs and both are also part human. Arthur's dog is a dog but folk legend made it into a giant one.
- Encounter the Otherworld, sidhe/siddi (Faerie): Finn yes, Arthur yes.
- Fights known historical foes or other peoples of his own island: Finn yes. (The Norse and other Irish). Arthur no, except in one later Cornish tale.
- Death of one of his wives: Finn yes (Saba), Arthur no.
- Names his weapons: Arthur yes, Finn no. But Finn is given a magical spear.
- Requires his men to know poetry, be warriors and kind to woman; any member of his warband has to pass the three tests and learn the Twelve Books of Poetry: Finn yes. Arthur, no.
- Consorts with other mythical and historical characters from other times: Arthur yes, Finn no.
- Courts in three parts of the realm: Arthur yes, Finn, no.
- Fights giants: Finn yes, Arthur yes.
- Called a giant: Finn yes, Arthur no.
- Kills witches: Arthur yes, Finn no.
- Uses his men to do some of the dirty work: Arthur yes, Finn, no.
- Has warriors from abroad in his warband: Arthur yes, Finn no.
- Gets great wisdom from eating the Salmon of Knowledge and Nuts of Knowledge': Finn yes, Arthur no, but Cai and Gwyrhr encounter a salmon of wisdom in the River Severn (Afon Hafren).
- Dispenses his wise words on the code of the warband: Finn yes. Arthur no.
- Captain of the High King's warband: Finn yes. Arthur no. Arthur is the overall leader of his warband and a 'Sovereign Lord' himself. In fact, no pen teulu (the Welsh equivalent of the Irish ri fianna) is mentioned.
- Is given a mythical lineage: Finn yes. Arthur is only linked to Brân and his father Llŷr In the Mostyn MS 117 Genealogies, known as the Bonedd yr Arwyr ('Descent of the Heroes'), but not in the stories.
- Relates to druids: Finn yes, Arthur no.
- Learn of his childhood: Finn yes, Arthur no.
- Hear of him as an old man: Finn yes, Arthur no.
- Christian references: Arthur yes, Finn no.
- Fights abroad: Arthur yes, Finn no.
So, out of twenty-six comparisons, there are four or five similarities. That's hardly similar at all. There would, of course, be divergence from a common source but this looks more like the similarities and just some basic folkloric commonalities. This has been a very interesting and worthwhile exercise.
The quote above mentions …
[...] both are endowed with gigantic stature [...]
I have dealt with this issue in depth in the blog King Arthur – Man, Myth … or Both? – Part Three and concluded that, whilst he may have been portrayed in the topographical and onomastic sites as being 'larger than life' or having superhuman qualities, he is no where actually called a giant (gawr) by the Welsh. Even the story relating to Finn as a giant fighting at the Giants' Causeway in Ulster didn't lead to his name being given to the site in Gaelic, where it is known as Clochán na bhFórmorach: 'stepping stones of the Fomorians'.
If Arthur did have another name, we may never know what it was, unless Gwen (Wen) Pendragon was it, but, if the above is anything to go with, I don't think that name was Finn. Could he have been in response to Finn? Yes, he could.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to your comments, thoughts and corrections,

The Queen of Naples, Maria Carolina, the daughter of Maria-Theresia and the sister of Marie Antoinette of France has taken Rome and toppled the "Roman Republic" created there as a result of the Napoleonic occupation. Baron Vitellio Scarpia, the head of her secret police, is combing the streets of the city with his spies, looking for former Republicans. On June 14th, Napoleon's troops go into battle with the troops of the Austrian General Melas, who is fi ghting for the cause of the allied European aristocracy, in Marengo in Northern Italy. During the night of June 17th two messages about the outcome of the battle arrive in Rome: the fi rst announces the defeat of Napoleon. The queen plans a celebration in the Palazzo Farnese in honour of the general. The primadonna Floria Tosca, the mistress of the painter Mario Cavaradossi, who sympathizes with the Republican cause which now seems lost, is to sing at the celebration.
Act 1: The Church of Sant'Andrea della Valle
The former consul of the Republic, Cesare Angelotti, accused of high treason, has escaped from imprisonment in the Castello S. Angelo. He seeks refuge in the church of S. Andrea della Valle, in which the painter Mario Cavaradossi has been working for days on a picture of Mary Magdalene. When he hears footsteps approaching, Angelotti hides in his family's chapel.
The pious verger is outraged about the political views of the painter and about the fact that the saint in his picture looks very much like a woman who comes every day to pray in the church. After the verger has left, Angelotti comes out of hiding in the chapel. Cavaradossi recognizes him and promises to help him. When he hears Tosca impatiently demanding access to the locked church he urges Angelotti to hide in the chapel again. He explains that his mistress is unable to keep anything a secret from her father confessor and would potentially be an element of risk if she knew about his fl ight. Tosca, always quick to be jealous, surmises something quite different. She suspects there is another woman with Cavaradossi and the fact that the Mary Magdalene in the picture looks nothing at all like herself but like the Countess Attavanti only increases her jealousy. Cavaradossi reassures her and, promising to spend the evening with her in his villa, impatiently urges her to leave.
Cavaradossi learns from Angelotti the reason for the daily visits of the Countess Attavanti, who without knowing it has been the model for the picture in the altarpiece. She is Angelotti's sister and on her visits to the church she has made preparations for her brother's fl ight and hidden women's clothing for him. A canon shot is fi red to announce the discovery of Angelotti's escape. Cavaradossi offers him a safe hiding-place in the garden of his villa and takes him there himself. The verger arrives with the news of the Austrian defeat of Napoleon. He calls together the clergy and the choristers for a solemn Te Deum. Scarpia has the church searched for the escaped prisoner and interrogates the verger. He, too, notices the picture of Mary Magdalene which so closely ressembles Angelotti's sister and draws his own conclusions about the connection between the painter and the escaped. He fi nds a fan belonging to the countess and intended for her brother's use in his escape, which he has left behind in his haste to leave the chapel.
Tosca returns in order to postpone her assignment with Cavaradossi as she has to sing at the queen's victory celebration. Scarpia uses his fi nd, so obviously a woman's possession, to rouse Tosca's jealousy. She sets off for Cavaradossi's villa, thinking she will catch her Mario out with his lover – with Scarpia's men at her heels, who have been instructed to fi nd Angelotti's hiding-place. The clergy are celebrating the victory of the monarchy and God's order with the Te Deum. Before joining in with religious zeal, Scarpia admits that he is driven by quite different things than political obedience. He lustily pictures himself hanging Cavaradossi and then making Tosca, whom he has long desired, his own.
Act 2: Palazzo Farnese
The queen's celebration is in full swing in the palace and Scarpia, who has set up his headquarters on an upper fl oor of the palace, is waiting for the performance to end. His spies bring him the news that Cavaradossi has been arrested; they have not, however, been able to fi nd Angelotti. Cavaradossi is interrogated by Scarpia, in the background can be heard the sound of his beloved's voice singing a cantata in praise of God at the celebration below. Cavaradossi denies all knowledge of Angelotti; Scarpia has him taken away to be tortured. Tosca arrives at Scarpia's invitation. She cannot bear the sound of her lover's screams of anguish as he is being tortured in an ante-chamber and reveals to Scarpia exactly where Angelotti is hiding. Cavaradossi is brought in and Scarpia enjoys telling him of Tosca's betrayal. A new message arrives – the news of the victory from Marengo was premature, Napoleon has in fact defeated the Austrians. Cavaradossi is delighted and shows it, Scarpia reacts by ordering him to be executed. Scarpia's agents return a second time from Cavaradossi's villa: Angelotti has killed himself on being discovered.
Tosca begs for mercy for Cavaradossi and Scarpia offers her a deal: if she will spend one night with him, he will spare Cavaradossi, merely order a mock execution, simulated only, and make it possible for the two of them to escape from Rome with a letter of safe conduct. Tosca agrees.
Scarpia gives orders for the mock execution, everything is to be done exactly as it was in a former case. Alone with Tosca, Scarpia writes the letter, Tosca sees a knife on the table. Scarpia approaches Tosca to claim her part of the deal. Tosca stabs him through the heart. She grabs the paper from Scarpia's hand and makes the sign of the cross, before she fl ees, over the man who loved to cause fear and terror in Rome.
Act 3: Castello S. Angelo
A new morning breaks over Rome, accompanied by the ringing of church bells. Cavaradossi is led to a platform in the castle to be shot. He writes a last letter to Tosca and fi nishes with his life. Tosca fi ghts her way through to the condemned man and shows him the safe conduct. The unexpected turn of events, Tosca's story of her deal with Scarpia and the planned mock execution give him new strength. Tosca gives him some advice about how to pretend to be dead. The soldiers of the fi ring squad take up their position, raise their guns and fire. Cavaradossi slumps to the ground. From a distance Tosca admires the convincing act of her lover, who has no theatrical experience. When she is left alone with him she urges him to stand up. When he does not move, she runs across to him and discovers the deception: Cavaradossi is dead. Scarpia has cheated her. His body has been discovered in the meantime. His men hurry to the platform of the castle to grab Tosca. She climbs on to the balustrade of the castle wall and jumps.

The internet has been ablaze this week with sci-fi geeks frantically searching for an unreleased trailer of "Godzilla". Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures will produce the reboot, scheduled to be released on May 16, 2014.
The unreleased trailer popped up quickly on Youtube, Vimeo, Dailymotion and the other major video sharing websites. Warner Brothers' legal department flew into action and the trailer was removed from nearly every major site almost as fast it went up. However, its hard to put the genie back in the bottle once it's escaped. The trailer is still available on a few sites.
I'm not posting any "Godzilla" video or photos here at Tech Geek Blog, as we don't want the Warner Brothers' legal machine coming down on our necks. However, we're posting some off-site links below if you'd like to see more.
Many fans are angry that Warner Brothers is clamping down so hard on the release of the teaser. The teaser is cool, but its hardly a show stopper.
Personally, I think Warner Brothers is crazy like a fox. Everyone loves forbidden fruit. And the more Warner Brothers fights to keep the material offline...the more people will fight to get it online and keep talking about it.
Yes, I realize that I've played right into Warner Brother's hand by giving them additional publicity. So sue me.
Godzilla Second Teaser Trailer Leaks (really poor video quality)
Godzilla 2014 Trailer Leaked (much better video, but loads of profanity - NSFW warning)

I've got a bid on ebay for a finite probability drive hopefully that is going to help.
Have you discovered anything about the pairs yet, like, say, any kind of easily described regularity? If you have, then what you don't need is a brain the size of a planet -- the solution is very logical, and I know I wasted days (well, not all of them full-time ) trying things much more complicated than necessary. Example: play "Bible Code" games. Search creatively enough, and you can find "BZh" all over the place

About MMS
Mountaineer Montessori School: Lighting the way for education since 1976
Mountaineer Montessori School was founded in 1976 by Mary McKown, a visionary educator who touched the lives of hundreds of Charleston children. What started out as one classroom with primary students (3 to 6 year olds), is now the oldest, largest and most well-established Montessori school in West Virginia. We will serve an estimated 120 students up to eighth grade starting in August 2014.
Built on a 38-year-tradition of excellence and innovation education, we provide a multi-disciplinary, integrated academic curriculum that includes a rich music and arts program, an on-site learning specialist and physical education at the University of Charleston pool and gymnasium. At MMS, we help children fulfill their unique potential and make the world a better place.
Authentic Montessori education
Since the beginning, MMS has held fast to the philosophy of Maria Montessori and the vision of our founder. MMS is the only school in the area that is staffed by fully certified Montessori teachers and provides an authentic Montessori education to the children of the Kanawha Valley. All lead teachers are certified by the American Montessori Society (AMS) or Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), the two most recognized certification programs worldwide. AMS and AMI certifications require sustained on-campus training, testing and collaboration with Montessori educators from around the world. Most of these programs exceed the requirements of the Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (MATCE). Certifications other than AMI or AMS are not as widely accepted. Our curriculum is approved by the Kanawha County Schools. MMS knows Montessori!
We invite you to visit our MMS in the news page and other areas of our website to learn more about our school, its programs and people, see what's cool about our school and find out how to support us.
World class education in a neighborhood setting
Our unmistakable sign — a 20-foot long piece of art created by Charly Hamilton in collaboration with MMS students in 2011 — signals the joyful learning that can be found throughout our campus. We're housed in a vintage three-story brick school building brimming with accessible and intriguing educational materials, colorful art, a menagerie of animal friends, a children's library, an inviting after-school room and Apple computer lab. Our beautiful outdoor environment includes a new student-designed playground and jungle gyms, a garden, playhouses and other features that invite exploration and wonder.
MMS is located at 308 20th Street in the heart of Charleston just off MacCorkle Avenue, providing us with easy access to all of the rich cultural offerings of the city, the amenities of our leafy Kanawha City neighborhood and the facilities of the University of Charleston, with whom we enjoy a mutually beneficial and long-standing relationship.
We are all connected
MMS celebrates the rich and vibrant diversity of our school community and actively nurtures an inclusive and welcoming learning environment for all children. Perhaps our students, composing "At Mountaineer Montessori" (MMS School Song), said it best:
We all come from different places
We all have different faces
And we are all connected
At Mountaineer Montessori!
Your family has a home with ours at MMS!
Charleston's Montessori school
Since its founding, Mountaineer Montessori has enriched the lives of more than a thousand students, who have gone on to academic achievement, distinguished professional careers and active community engagement and public service. After nearly 40 years, we're proud to say that we are Charleston's — and West Virginia's — Montessori school. We invite your family to become part of this special tradition!

Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common types of irregular heartbeat (cardiac arrhythmia). In atrial fibrillation, the heart's upper chambers beat irregularly.
Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of blood clots. Blood clots can cause a transient ischemic attack (TIA), stroke, or other problems.
The heartbeat may return to normal on its own. Or it may require medicine, electrical shock (cardioversion), or other procedures to stop the arrhythmia. Medicines called anticoagulants (blood thinners) are usually needed to prevent stroke and other complications if the heart cannot be returned to its normal rhythm.

The Major Orchestra Librarians' Association (MOLA) conference, which took place in Portland this weekend, is officially wrapped. It was a TREMENDOUS success -- the Oregon Symphony librarians totally nailed it. But I am exhausted! That's why this post is a day later than usual.
I have a lot to tell you about the conference, which I'll do in next week's post. In the meantime, this week I bring you a report from the Falstaff frontlines from board member Diana Harris, who is a supernumerary in our production.
I've loved opera for as long as I can remember. Why? With story, singers, orchestra, costumes, and sets, opera is the ultimate combination of music, theater, often dance, and the visual arts. Sometimes an opera needs a supernumerary or two. "Supernumerary" means "one who appears onstage without speaking lines or as part of a crowd" (Random House Dictionary of the English Language). They're referred to as "supers."
As an opera lover who is neither singer nor musician, I wanted to be a "super" for decades; it was the only way I could be in the middle of the music. The current production of Falstaff, in which I am one of two adult "supers" in the final scene, is the fifth time I've been privileged to do so.
