1. Do not write your email to me IN CAPS. If you do so, I will print out your question and do terrible things to it.
2. Do not request a personal e-mail response. Since I get thousands of questions each month, trying to answer them all would cut deeply into my leisure time, which I value more than your current state of confusion.
3. Try to spell at least in a semi-correct fashion. If you choose to mangle the English language, expect no mercy from this quarter. You might be mocked severely.
4. Do not ask for me to send you copies of my many manuals and literature. I am not in the library business, nor do I want to spend the bulk of my day at the copy machine just because you're too lazy to ask your dealer, or look around a bit.
5. Don't bother me with truly stupid questions, like how to get 50 more horsepower for a buck and a half
6. Now that you know the rules, think carefully and have at it!
Oh yes Ill leave your e-mail unedited, for what its worth.#

Re: 1986 KTM MX 250 Miles Murphy. FYI. When somebody from the UK says they are breaking their bike it does not mean they are breaking it in.
It means that they are parting it out. You really should have known.
Still a fan,
Doug Martin
Doug is referring to an email sent to me by Miles Murphy in which he said he was breaking his KTM in. Since I dont spend very much time in England, I assumed that he was going to put some time on his motor to seat things in properly. Little did I realize that breaking your bike in England means taking it down and selling it for parts. I stand corrected.
"Dumb" writers? You mean some of these guys are "dumb"? How can you tell? Miles Murphy (KTM Blank Stare) can't spell his last name right ("Murhpy"?). Would he qualify as "dumb"?#As Jay Leno says, "My school must have been gooder than his."
International Dave
Apparently Mr. Murphy got more than a few reads to his emails. This comment by International Dave sums things up quite nicely.
I have a Yamaha with serial number CT1-201837 the number on the motor matches and it has 750cc. Can u tell me what year and model it is and if there's anything special about it.#Thanks.
Your bike is a 1971 CT1 175. It started with the serial number 200101 and your numbers fall right in order. The bike was painfully ordinary, however it was easy to start, cheap to buy, unbelievably reliable and it seems like almost everyone had one of these little units in a garage somewhere. They weighed about 230 pounds, had reasonable horsepower, smoked like crazy when starting up cold, but just ran and ran and ran.
Is the 2000 model ttr250 street legal
No, the Yamaha TTR250 is not street legal in most areas. Sure, you can pop a little mirror on it and sneak it by the DMV in maybe Oregon, but in most states, its strictly off-road. This is not to say that the TTR 250 is not a good bike. Quite the contrary.
Yamaha introduced the TT-R250 to the off-road community in 1999. The TT-R250 blends motocross sleekness with enduro features, highlighted by a 250cc four-stroke engine, electric start, front and rear disc brakes, tripmeter and handguards. The TT-R features a 249cc, four-valve, air-cooled, DOHC, four-stroke engine. Throw a leg over the TT-R250, slide your thumb over to the electric start, push the button and the 250cc-powerplant fires to life. The TT-R250 benefits from plush suspension, with 11.2"of front and rear wheel travel. Over 11" of ground clearance and a narrow overall width allows riders to climb over rocks. 245mm front and 220mm rear disc brakes are mated to Dunlop 739 rubber. Handguards provide protection not only during close dicing, but also while navigating narrow single tracks. An odometer, complete with resetable trip meter, allows one to follow those marked trail systems to the tenth of a mile. The 2000 Yamaha TTR250 sold new for a retail price of $4,699 in its day.
Y2K (blue) models. Since about 2000, all new TTRs have had blue "YZ" plastics and plastic tanks. They are based on the Open Enduro version rather than the Raid. The front forks have air valves for adjusting the spring rate and a damping adjusting screw for adjusting the damping force. The rear shock has the usual spring reload adjustment, rebound damping force adjusting dial and a compression damping force adjusting knob.
The models sold in Europe have electric and kick start as standard making them "dual start" as well as having revised (quicker) steering geometry and suspension. The TTRs that were supplied to the USA are ONLY electric start - the GYTR kick start kit is available as an extra. The TTR250 is still available new in Australia and the frame changed to black. It's also dual start!
Uncorking the TTR250#Two freebie mods to start with:#1. Look under the tank at your throttle linkage and you will notice that Mr. Yamaha installs a stop screw that limits you to less than full throttle. Adjust the screw to allow full travel of the throttle linkage, but stop it just before the throttle slide hits the top of the carb. Some riders take the screw completely out, but I wouldn't recommend that. 2. If you dont have a US model, remove the exhaust restrictor in the rear of the header pipe - details farther down. If you have a US model, remove the screw at the end of the exhaust and pull out the baffle, but don't do this if you ride where there are spark arrestor laws (such as California). Both of these will allow your bike to breathe a little better.#The next will cost you a small amount:#1. Replace the stock filter with an aftermarket filter like that from Twin Air.#2. Pull the rubber snorkel out of the top of the air box ONLY if you don't ride through deep water! Some owners recommend just trimming the snorkel by cutting it back one rung at the top and two rungs in the air box itself.#3. Rejet the bike to suit.#4. Replace the standard front sprocket with a 13-tooth one - this will improve the TTR's acceleration and off-road capabilities greatly without hampering top speed overmuch.#Performance gains will be obvious. The thing you will notice most is that the engine will accelerate quicker. If you ride at high altitude, and don't have water crossings to worry about, then, in addition to removing the snorkel, you may consider cutting holes in the top of the air box, but just make sure you rejet to suit.#The next will cost you a lot more:#Replace the standard silencer with an aftermarket one. This adds power and gives a significant weight saving.
My XR650R is good,but the problem I have is when stopping now and then it cut' out, or bike is running and you ride forward and suddenly stop the bike sounds like dieing.When riding on the highway full throttle it go's and suddenly there's more power coming through. ##Can you help or what to you think can be the problem.I bought an new carburetor from Precision Concept in the State's, but the bike still cut's out now and then.
Two things come to mind. The first thing I would suspect would be the black box, a part of your ignition system. You can take that black box to a local dealer and have them check it out on the bench for you. But before I would go through that, you might check to see if the petcock on the gas tank is flowing properly. If you have some crud in there that would certainly cause your bike to die intermittently. So before you spend the money with the dealer, do that basic investigation first.
Hi, can you tell me if the main crankshaft bearings are the same on a Suzuki rm400 [late 70's] and Suzuki ts400 [mid 70's] The rm bearings seem easier to obtain.
All of the fundamental parts on the Suzuki TS 400 and TM 400 are the same. The later RM models are definitely different.
Howdy.#I recently came across three old mini's at a neighbor's farm. One is a Gemini Boss 80 and the other two are Chaparrals. I don't know anything about them. Is it possible to still get parts for these types of bikes? If so, where? #Thanks.
In the late '60s, the folks in the Orient saw that a whole bunch of American manufacturers were building mini bikes and making money, so they decided to jump into the business. After all, they were supplying engines and frames to the US, so why not a whole bike? However, to cover their butts, they also continued to sell the bikes without engines, frames alone, or just engines. Here's what they had to say about the Gemini:
San Tong has jumped into the two-wheeled field with a pair of Gemini mini-bikes (50cc and 80cc) and their larger Gemini Boss 80 mini-cycle (shown). This machine puts out 8.5 hp at 7000 rpm from its two-stroke, single-cylinder, rotary valve engine, has oil injection and four-speed transmission. It utilizes magneto ignition and telescopic front forks. Tuned exhaust system, lights and speedo are standard. Wheelbase is 46 inches, ground clearance 7 inches, seat height 30.2 inches. Tires front and rear are 2.50 x 15-inch, with optional 2.25 x 17 front. In addition to their Gemini bike line, the firm also supplies frames, sans engines, for mini-bikes.
What happens when a '70s snowmobile company wants to get in on the dirt bike boom? Well, they build a carbon copy of just about every other below-average mini-cycle ever made in that time frame. But they seemed proud of their effort, as the copy below illustrates:
Chaparral Industries, fastest growing major snowmobile company in the country, has recently added mini-cycles to its product line. The bikes will be available in three models: the Bullet ST80 (shown), the Bullet T80, and the Bullet T172. Built primarily for trail riding, the ST80 and T80 are four-speed bikes powered by a two-stroke, 80cc Fuji engine that pumps out 7.5 hp at 6800 rpm. The T172 has a 172cc Tecumseh four-stroke powerplant and torque-converter for shift-free riding. Top-of-the-line ST80 weighs 125 pounds, has hydraulic front suspension with rear coil springs. On this model, lights, horn and speedo package are standard. Trail-ready T80 version is stripped for action, has torque-tuned exhaust with spark arrester.
Well Rick,
I have to ask. If the frame on that beautiful triumph you're posing with above your April column were nickel-plated I'd think it was a rare and very expensive Rickman Triumph. If not, it appears to be a very close variant. Is it yours? Did you build it? The effortless power of a twin in a competent off-road chassis is an absolute joy as you apparently know. After all these years of offering information on other peoples motorcycles, surely you're entitled to brag just a little bit. Tell us about that fine machine!
[email protected]
The Triumph that you see in that photo has a stock 650 frame, modified YZ 250 forks, Works Performance shocks, a TT seat and a lot of attention to details. I rode the bike while I lived in Baja for 15 years, and truly enjoyed it. Im sorry I sold it and still wish I had that beast.
Hi Rick,
I am in the process of resealing the forks on a 1980 175 KDX and I am not sure how much fork oil to use, Is there any way you can help me out with this. Also I am dealing with a small leak in the gas tank, would you know where I might be able to locate a working one.#any help would be appreciated.##Thank You,
Tim Beach
Getting the fork oil level is not difficult at all. Take the fork caps off, remove both springs from the fork tubes and compress the forks all the way. Then pour 10-weight fork oil in each leg until its about 6 inches from the top of the tubes. Right there, that should be enough to give you a decent set of operating forks. You can always take a little bit of oil out, or add a little bit more oil, but 6 inches should be the starting measurement. Regarding the gas tank leakage, clean the tank out properly and put in a decent gas tank sealer.
awsome tips own a tri z that lost the air adj screw in carb when i was riding and that cause it to seized hope fully i could reuse my piston again thanks again
Miguel Lua
Chances of you being able to reuse a piston that has been seized are pretty darn slim. More than likely, youll have aluminum stuck to the side of the piston and the rings frozen in their grooves. The only way you can tell how bad the damage is will be to take the top end off and see how bad the seizure was. There is an outside chance that the seizure was very light. Good luck on that one.
Thanks for posting the info and pics of the vintage bikes- very entertaining.
I'm writing to ask about good Scrambler candidates for my son who is about to turn 16.
I had CB/CL bikes back in the day, but they were heavy and underpowered, although reliable...
I'm thinking about something that we can licence for the street, but are fun and light.
This probably points toward two strokes like the Suzuki TS 250. Looking for good common parts availability, and reliability.
Any thoughts?
Brad Feick
All things considered, your mention of the Suzuki TS 250 points to a pretty darned good all-around bike. Many of the parts in the TM are interchangeable with TS. The bike is fairly quick, reliable and easy to work on. You could do a whole lot worse.
Hola Rick,
Get ready! Im sure some kid will buy this and send you an email asking:
What model is it? How do I adjust the power band? What is the gas to oil mix ratio? Looks like something Mad Max rode as a kid
Jeff Chase
Truly amazing! Yes, Im sure that Ill get a letter or two asking how to hop something like this up. Ill keep you posted.
Hello Rick, Sultan of the Sujuaro, Deity of the Desert!!!
I am writing with a couple questions, the first is to find out what has happened to all the dirtbike content at Off-Road.com over the past few years. I love all the articles, obviously Checkpoint and Don't Ask are great, but what happened to Woman Overbored?
When I finished all the Wanderer's articles, I felt like I had lost two friends. We need more!!!
Finally, how is riding after the knee replacement? I am only 46, but the doctor says I will need one in the next five years or so. Is there any hope to continue riding after a TKR?
#Thanks,#Russ Lord
Berwick, ME--#
Actually, the amount of dirt bike content in Off-road.com has not decreased that much in recent years. Its just that a whole bunch of regular off-road stuff has been added. Agreed, the Woman Overboard column was great, but she felt it was time to move on to other stuff and is truly missed. As far as The Wanderers articles go, you can get the entire collection by going to my website at www.superhunky.com
Regarding a total replacement knee surgery, Im sorry that I got mine done 7 years ago. I still ride, but the pain level is not that much different than before the surgery and I have lost a lot of flexibility. However, Im told that huge strides were made the last three or four years in total knee replacement surgery. Thats something youre going to have to talk over with a doctor, or maybe some people who have had knee surgery done recently.
Dear Rick,
Just a note to say how much I enjoyed your book, "The Last Ride." The story intrigued me because I had the same dream at about that same age and used to worry the hell out of the Honda Dealer in Victorville. Although I did actually own a DT-1 (white tank) at one time, it had been trashed and sold; the bike for my cross-country trip was going to be the new Honda MT 250. My dreams were just that, but your book brought it all back and I just wonder what would have happened if I'd actually done it. Having ridden cross country (USA) more than a few times since then, I do appreciate your dining habits as detailed in the book. That' how I've always done it too.
I also ordered the first issues of Dirt Bike and have been amazed. You guys really were different - then and now. It's like standing in a garage with fiends who really know what they are talking about and are even ... dare I say it ... are judgemental. You guys made honest calls. I felt like I actually learned something about bikes when I read those tests and reviews. And, by the way, I loved the humility too. I get so tired of the kid testers today who try to blow us away with how good they are, "Yeah, good bike up to about 180, has a slight headshake at anything over 190mph on gravel and requires a tap of the rear brake to square things up," OK, at 56 I can really use that information.
Third thing I'd like to mention is how much you guys improved my reading ability. I left High School not caring much for reading, but Bike Mags got me into it. In a convoluted way, I credit my return to college and successful graduation with the stories in DB. I'm an engineer for a helicopter company now and just bought a 1979 IT 175 and remember all over again just how totally cool two-stroke dirt bikes were and still are.
Again, Thank You.
Byron Woodruff
It seems like most of the new bike competition out there doesnt even relate to the real world that we grew up in. I truly miss the simpler days of just taking your old two-stroke out the garage and going riding with friends. In fact, Dirt Bike magazine was started as a publication that was meant to be like friends talking to other friends. I dont think that in this day and age something like that could happen again. Meanwhile, enjoy the memories and enjoy those good old bikes for the second time around.
My new book, THE LAST RIDE, is at now out. It's fiction and starts in 1969, when an 18-year-old kid just out of high school gets a chance to ride his Yamaha 250 DT1 from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles all off-road. His adventures are truly amazing. The book then jumps 40+ years where the same person, now in his 60s, wants to get that old Yamaha back in his possession and return it home by riding it all off-road across the country again. The book is $15 plus $2.75 for mail anywhere in the US (or $5 for Priority Rush mail) and for more information, the email is: [email protected]. Paypal address: [email protected]

A number of things affect the overall efficiency of the solar collector. For example, efficiency depends on the time of day, the season of the year, the latitude of the area, weather conditions, and the color of the collector.
To many people's surprise, the color of the solar collector can have a drastic impact on how effective it is. There is a direct relationship between the amount of heat that is absorbed by a solar collector and the color of the collector.
While solar collectors come in a wide array of colors, dark colors tend to absorb more heat than light colors. In addition, you will find that shiny colors simply reflect away from the collector. Over the past decade or so, the study of colors and absorption of energy has become an extremely important issue all because energy efficiency is affected by this absorption.
There is no question that black is going to absorb solar heat the best out of any color. As an everyday example, think about how you try to avoid wearing black on how summer days because it absorbs so much heat! The same can be said about heating your home: black solar collectors will attract and absorb the most solar heat.
Solar radiation is made up of electromagnetic energy of various wavelengths. As it passes through the earth's atmosphere, half is reflected back into space while the other half makes its way to the surface of the earth. The air molecules react with this incoming radiation, scattering the light and absorbing most of the harmful rays. The filtered energy is what see and feel as sunshine.
Solar cells are made out of N-type and P-type semiconductor material that use the visual light spectrum to generate electricity. Solar radiation with wavelengths of 380 nm to 750 nm (violet to red) strike the material with enough energy to knock electrons from their weak bonds and create an electric current. The unused wavelengths (ultraviolet & infrared) do not have enough energy to dislodge the electrons and are absorbed as heat.Full-Spectrum Photovoltaic Material
With existing solar cells, the unused ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths are not converted into electricity but rather wasted as heat. A recent discovery of a new semiconductor material made from indium, gallium and nitrogen can convert virtually the full spectrum of sunlight - from the far ultraviolet to the near infrared - into electricity. One panel can use the entire electromagnetic spectrum and holds promise of being the most efficient solar panel ever created.
(For those interested there are specific solutions being created called ORMES that contain these rare elements.Contact through email if interested.-DH)
You are the solar collector when you begin this particular Qi Gong. Please dress accordingly for these early morning exercises and use the necessary sun protection suited to your skin color. Do not peer directly at the sun is it has ascended too close to its zenith. The preferred times are just before sunrise up until 10:30 am, after that the suns rays can be harmful and can injure your retina. Remember a little will go a long way, and to stand before the sun with closed eyes will still allow you to partake of its beneficial energies.

text: How To iPhone & iPod Cyclemeter GPS Bicycling App for the iPhone A powerful app that packs in all the tracking and data you need Share Pin Email Print Drazen_ / Getty Images iPhone & iPod Basics Installing & Upgrading Guides & Tutorials Tips & Tricks Key Concepts Switching from Android to iPhone By Fred Zahradnik Freelance Contributor Former Lifewire writer Fred Zahradnik has a long history as a writer and is considered an expert on all things related to GPS products and software. our editorial process Fred Zahradnik Updated August 17, 2019 61 61 people found this article helpful The Cyclemeter GPS bicycling app for iPhone takes a different approach to mapping, training, and data-logging. Rather than depending on a separate online service to do most of the data storage and analysis, as most apps do, Cyclemeter gives you everything you need right on your smartphone. Well Thought Out and Designed You most likely already carry your smartphone on bike rides, so why not put the phone's GPS functionality to work with a full-featured cycle-computer, mapping, and training log app? The only downside of using an app like Cyclemeter instead of a dedicated, handlebar-mount cycle-computer is the lack of real-time feedback. We don't recommend mounting a smartphone on the handlebar due to concerns about water, vibration, and dirt damage. We've reviewed a number of other fitness apps and bike apps, but we can safely say that the Cyclemeter is the most comprehensive and full-featured for cycling that we've encountered. We also appreciate Cyclemeter maker Abvio's approach: Why require the user to connect to and to use a web-browser-based mapping and training log utility when you can just put everything on the phone? The app also works with a Bluetooth-linked wireless heart rate monitor (more on that later). Features and On-the-Road Testing Cyclemeter provides you with many ways to capture and manage your data, but let's start at the beginning. Before using the app, you may enter setup data including items such as your age, weight, and gender, which help the app determine accurate calorie burn stats. You may also specify different bikes, and specify how you want the app to present its maps, set voice prompts, determine what appears on your data graphs, and more. To begin tracking a ride, simply touch the app's "Stopwatch" icon and you'll see a customizable screen with the route name, activity, and fields for ride time, speed, distance, average speed, remaining miles (according to a selected route), and fastest speed. This display would be useful as a source of real-time data if the phone was mounted on the handlebar. A "Map" icon shows your route in progress and displays your completed route when you are finished with a ride or race. You may select street, hybrid, or satellite views. The "History" icon gives you easy access to all of the stats for past rides. Under the history tab, you may also directly access accumulated training log data by days, weeks, months, and years. History also gives you quick access to route data summaries. Cyclemeter Voice Prompts, Sensors, Accessories One feature setting Cyclemeter apart is a commitment to voice prompts as a key rider feedback tool. "Monitor your progress with up to 25 configurable announcements including distance, time, speed, elevation, and more," states Abvio. "Announcements may be heard automatically at time or distance intervals, or on-demand with your earphone remote." Another nice touch, Cyclemeter lets you sync real-time ride updates to your Twitter, Facebook, or e-mail accounts. You may even set the app to read your replies while you ride or race. Cyclemeter also freely allows you to import and export GPS files in the GPX or KML formats. You may also download training logs into an Excel spreadsheet. Many cyclists like to train or race while keeping tabs on heart rate, and the Cyclemeter accommodates this with a real-time heart rate display, heart rate logging, and the ability to set heart rate zones with sound prompts. Cyclemeter works with the Blue HR wireless heart rate monitor by Wahoo fitness and links via Bluetooth. Wahoo Fitness also offers a Blue SC Speed and Cadence sensor for tracking and logging pedaling cadence. Overall, we found the Cyclemeter app to be a pleasure to use, well-designed, and well-thought-out. Continue Reading

Underground water tanks are environmentally one of the best ways to reserve water for future purposes. In fact, many residential areas have actually opted for these tanks to help provide water for their daily chores. However, according to the latest statistics, the maintenance budget is rising annually and thus even though one is using eco-friendly ways to get water, one might still have to pay heavy bills to support them.
Despite the rising bills from the underground water tanks in Sydney, the locals have understood their benefits and have committed to use them for the betterment of the society and the environment. Many around the world have a vague notion about underground water tanks but do not really know about their benefits. Thus, it is important to know the benefits to judge the utility of these tanks.
1. Rain water Harvesting:
These tanks help in storing rain water which can be used in the future. Rain water harvesting has always been a basic way to store and preserve water for using it later. It works best in arid regions which get little rainfall throughout the year. Residences and even individuals can get underground tanks fitted in their houses and can store the water to use it during the dry season.
2. Agricultural Uses:
It is not very uncommon to find underground water tanks in Sydney farmlands. These water tanks are a great source of watering farmlands and irrigation systems. In fact, with the basic knowledge that the roots of the plants absorb water to grow, underground water tanks actually make sure that the water reaches the roots of the plants and a blooming harvest succeeds it.
3. Storing Municipal Water:
Not many people are aware, but the municipal bodies and government bodies in many countries permit their waters to be stored in underground tanks. This water can be used in times of crisis or water scarcity. As water does not decompose, it can be stored for a longer period of time and can be used as and when necessary.
4. Aesthetically Appealing:
Underground tanks are concealed in many ways. Since they are located underground, they do not hinder with the aesthetics of the place and blend in beautifully with the surroundings. The normal water tanks which are above the ground and almost barrel like at times look unappealing to the eye. This is not so with the underground water tanks.
5. Water remains fresh and consumable for a long time:
The Sydney underground water tanks have an advantage that many people fail to see. Since, the water is stored underground, almost to say in the lap of nature; they easily remain fresh and unhampered for long periods of time. When the water is required, it is purified by external purifiers or even boiled at places before consumption. Moreover, eco-friendly bacteria underground help in preserving all the nutrients of the water.
Thus, the advantages of these underground water tanks are such that one has to recognize them and use them to the fullest. Even when one knows that it might cost financially more than regular water storage, one opts for underground tanks for their special uses which regular water storage does not provide.

Essential Debriefing Skills for Simulation Two Day Course
Please note this is a two day course taking place on 5th & 6th November 2020.
This programme is for those who wish to develop debriefing skills for simulation-based learning interventions. It is part of the faculty development programme of SaIL being a mandatory part of the Simulation faculty programme.
Course Description
Part one: the course runs over 2 days and introduces the concepts of structured debriefing, using the diamond debrief model, to facilitate deep reflection, exploration of human factors skills and transfer of learning from simulated experiences to the work place.
Participants will actively debrief simulation experiences and abstract exercises. Using faculty to recreate debrief situations and structured debriefing-of-the-debrief, participants can reflect on technical aspects of the model and how they may facilitate debriefs.
Day two is the coaching phase:
After Day 2 of the formal training we encourage participants to further practise the stages of the diamond debrief, debriefing under supervision.

Waders, waterfowl, shorebirds, gulls, alcids, etc.
This section is for notes on the diverse group of resident and migrant species we call "waterbirds." Generally long-lived species, typically portrayed as branches off the lower half of the order Aves. From the perspective of a pilot, these are the families you really don't want to see up-close on approach to the runway. Here's some thoughts on the reaction of gulls to smaller, unpeopled aircraft.
Coming home from Hoonah in late April, 2015, Cathy and I (RC) swung out to the Industrial Boulevard wetland access to see how migration was progressing. She brought along her new Kowa 88mm spotscope, and although I was traveling with only the little fixed-28mm Ricoh GR that I bought for drone photography, that turned out to be the perfect combination for "digiscoping." Although we haven't purchased an eyepiece attachment, I was able to hold the camera against the lens frame with a rubber band, taking my hands away long enough for some steady stills and video. Very cooperative migrants (straight up from a National Wildlife Refuge?) also helped.

The singing psychologist is just one of a million labels which could have been put on the brilliant Al Jarreau. At Ripon College in Wisconsin he got his Bachelor of Science degree in psychology in 1962. But there was something he was even more interested in. Singing. During his college days, he sang with the band The Indigos. Later, he joined a young pianist's trio as a singer. The bandleader on the keys was the late George Duke.
Al quickly took a big decision. He was going to forget psychology and opt for a singing career. It did not take long until he appeared on television a lot. Also, he sang in comedy theaters, in between performances by John Belushi and other greats. As the son of a Seventh Day Adventist minister and a church organist, he was religious and curious at the same time. So he tried religious organizations and Scientology, but only for a short time. This little experiment gave him trouble in Europe, when he was a superstar decades later, since Scientology is seen as a religion in the U.S., but as a dangerous cult on the "old continent".
The singing genius Al Jarreau, who got a total of seven Grammy Awards during his career, was finally discovered by Warner Bros. Records in 1975, when he was already 35 years old. His first album "We Got By", released in 1975, immediately became one of the most important recordings in the Jazz and Soul worlds. Al's approach, voice and energy got him a huge fan community. They cheered for him in New York and Atlanta, they gave him never ending ovations in London and Manchester. At the "Onkel Pö" venue in Hamburg, he had to perform several nights in a row, in order to satisfy every fan in the northern German city.
Since 1975, Al Jarreau never really stopped touring and recording. The albums "Glow", "All Fly Home", "This Time" and "Breakin' Away" were all brilliant. He was now a Soul, Jazz and Pop singer. He was a singer. Period.
It was in the 1980s, when he became a huge Pop star. Several tunes from his "Jarreau" album, especially the song "Mornin'" got to be aired by radio stations all over America, Europe and parts of Asia. The record "L is for Lover", released in 1986, was actually composed to sound more like a Pop album than anything else. That album might have disgruntled quite a few Jazz and Soul purists within his fan community, including me, for a while, but it got him so many other fans from within the much larger Pop world. The concerts during the "L is for Lover" tour were huge. They took place in sports arenas and comparable venues.
When Al Jarreau hit Bulgarian soil for the first time, in 2005, for a concert I organized for my former partners at Jazz FM Radio, founded by Vassil Dimitrov, he had been touring for thirty years, with little interruption. I had met him before, in Germany, some twenty years earlier, but around the Sofia gig there was more time for some conversations. Al turned out to be the nicest guy on Earth. He loved talking about his early days and how he hit stages with George Duke. He loved talking about his albums too. When I told him I liked the song "Bright'N'Sunny Babe" from his "All Fly Home" album, he told me how he wrote it for his wife Susan. Al enjoyed his two stays in Bulgaria.
A year later, he came to Sofia again, for another gig we organized. This time he had joined the fellow legend George Benson on a tour, since the two had recorded the album "Givin' It Up" together. More conversations followed. Another year later, I met him yet again, in Bremen, Germany and spoke to him more. He was always very open-minded, funny and interested.
His health problems were obvious. Maybe not so much on stage, but definitely backstage. Ten years ago, Al Jarreau could hardly stand, on stage or basically anywhere, due to a spine condition. He had to be pulled up from any chair. That was one reason why he did not attend too many after-show parties anymore. After his gigs, he would rather sit in his hotel room, have a glass of red wine and smoke a cigarette. When he asked me for a smoke in Bremen, I gave him a Lucky strike. After trying it, he got dizzy and had to sit down immediately.
Al Jarreau's concerts were perfect every single time. This applied to the Sofia gigs too. At the National Palace of culture, many fans cheered. The Bulgarian painter Pancho Malezanov gave him a funky piece of art he had painted just for him. We probably could have filled the NDK with him again, a few years later, but we stopped doing gigs.
Al's gigs were perfect because of his gift and excellent showmanship, but also because of the great people around him. Larry Williams, a genius multi-instrumentalist who was Al's keyboarder, saxophone player and musical director for a long time, said Al was "an incredible light to the world". In a message on Facebook, Larry wrote this: "I've had the great pleasure to play, compose and arrange music and travel the world with my friend and musical partner, Al Jarreau on and off for 39 years. This morning at 5:30 a.m., he passed away peacefully. (…) I am so very grateful to have been a part of his life and music. No one I've every met had a bigger heart and soul."
Al Jarreau will live on in his music and our memories. This is incredibly sad.

Syphilis is a very serious sexually transmitted disease. Fortunately, it can easily be cured these days - if caught early enough.
Syphilis is caused by a corkscrew-shaped bacterium called Treponema pallidum.
It was once a widespread cause of paralysis, insanity and death. But in the middle part of the 20th century, the invention of penicillin made it a rare disease in Britain and Western Europe.
However, in the early part of the 21st century, syphilis became more common in the UK, largely as a result of small outbreaks in Greater Manchester, London, Bristol and Brighton.
The figures jumped by 76% between 2012 and 2015. Currently, they stand at 5228 cases per year in England. Very few of these cases occurred in women. About 60 per cent of the male cases occur in men who have sex with men (MSM).
It is worth being aware that syphilis rates are much higher in certain other countries. Therefore, casual sex while overseas may be risky.
Congenital syphilis
Up until the Second World War, it was common for babies to be born with the terrible disease of 'congenital syphilis', which they caught from their mothers. Features included blindness, deafness and brain damage.
Happily, congenital syphilis is hardly ever seen in Britain these days. This is because of the little-known fact that since the 1940s, expectant mothers have been given a blood test for the infection.
In the rare cases where the woman tests positive, she is immediately treated (and cured) with antibiotics.
However as indicated above, there appears to have been a sudden increase in cases of congenital syphilis in the UK during 2016.
How is syphilis contracted?
Syphilis is not acquired from lavatory seats, as people sometimes claim.
In nearly all cases, syphilis is caught through having some form of sex with an infected person.
This may be through:
- ordinary sexual intercourse (vaginal intercourse)
- anal intercourse
- oral sex
- very rarely, through other forms of sexual contact.
In general, the disease will only be transmitted if a mucous membrane of an infected person comes into contact with a mucous membrane of somebody else.
What are the symptoms?
Between nine and 90 days after exposure to the germ, the first sign of infection appears.
It's a painless lump, usually about the size of a 5p piece, located on the penis, the anus or the vulva or occasionally at some other point of sexual contact, such as the mouth or nipple.
In fair-skinned people, the lump is dull red. But if your skin is darker, the lump may be blackish or brown.
This 'primary' lump soon breaks down into a painless ulcer (a raw place). The glands nearby – for instance in the groins – are likely to be swollen.
Regrettably, you could be fooled by the fact that the ulcer soon goes away, making it look as though you are cured – but this isn't the case.
A few months later, a 'secondary stage' usually develops, in which the patient develops rashes, a sore throat, fever and probably general ill health.
If the condition isn't promptly diagnosed and cured, the disease will probably go on to a tertiary (third) stage, in which the germ may attack various organs of the body, including the brain.
So, it's obvious that anyone who has the slightest suspicion that he might have syphilis should get to a GUM clinic as soon as possible, for diagnosis and treatment.
The diagnosis is made by taking samples from the lesions and examining them under a microscope, and also by a blood test.
Once the diagnosis has been made, the infection can be treated with a course of antibiotics (usually injectable penicillin but often other medicines, especially if you are allergic to penicillin).
If the course of antibiotics is taken correctly and finished, then the infection should be cured.
It's vital to realise that if you are treated for syphilis, you are likely to remain contagious for some time.
Please do not resume sexual contact with anyone until the doctor has told you that it is safe to do so.
The clinic will ask you to help them to trace your sexual contacts, so that they too can be treated.

Kedarnath Shrine - After June 2013
Devastation Around the Kedarnath Shrine
Thanks to a higher power the famous and beautiful Kedarnath Shrine was the only structure to remain intact while being completely surrounded by a valley of devastation and death. The area surrounding the shrine was submerged in slush and mud after several unpredicted flash floods hit the area, as well as several other parts of Uttarakhand.

Thwarted Google-Killer
TradeComet.com, which runs a tiny B2B search engine, SourceTool.com, is suing Google for "starving" them of traffic by raising their AdWords CPC prices from $.05-.10 to $5-10. The Bloomberg article says that the price increase was to "protect Google's monopoly and prop up a partner Web site for business searches." It's laughable to think that Google actually targeted a site of SourceTool.com's size. 100b market cap companies have bigger fish to fry.
But it's indicative of what I think will be an important trend–Google's near-monopolistic power over a huge market will attract growing legal scrutiny, and eventually the DOJ will break it up.
On that note, I wonder if the recession will catalyze civil litigation, particularly troubled businesses suing healthy ones. I have no data on the topic, but it seems intuitive in the same way that global economic downturns historically lead to trade wars.

All the tricks and tips you are looking for to become a great scout leader... hopefully... at least a good place to start.

Junior Badge: Inside Government
For our badge... this is what we did:
#1: Decide what Being an Active Citizen Means to You
We discussed what this meant. I had them define citizen and think about what "active" really means. To their surprise, it isn't doing jumping jacks in the intersection of a major highway! (Teasing... but it makes them giggle and think and start talking. I tend to throw in "off the wall" ideas just to get them to loosen up and start talking. Laughter really helps that!)
As a group, the girls listed 10 ways to be an active citizen. I let them brainstorm and include things they can do now, things we have done as a troop, and
#2: Go Inside Government
I tried to get an interview with a state legislator and I even tried local level. No one was interested and that is frustrating! So... plan B! My assistant leader was elected President of her sorority and I had been appointed to a few positions with our Council. I had the girls think of questions to interview us. I also had them define what the difference in being elected and being appointed it. We discussed who is elected and who is appointed. How appointments take place, etc etc. I was very thankful my assistant leaders are younger than I and have fresh brains that retain that information.
#3: Look into Laws
#4: Report on the issues
The girls had to track the news for a week and discuss 5 stories that affected them. They all did really well. We had a couple tragedies in the world that week, which came up in discussion. I was also interested to hear the types of science news the girls were into (3D printers for human organs, robots to help in surgeries, etc.)
#5: Get involved in government

Thank you so much for doing this!! It is so helpful!!! I look at the program materials and try to brainstorm, and this blog helps me expand my brainstorming immensely!!ReplyDelete
This is awesome - my girls have been pretty vocal about how they don't like this badge so this is suuuuuuper helpful!!!ReplyDelete
very helpful, thank you! I was passing this one by when ever I looked in the girl guide for which badge to work on next. However, our new state rep is a female (hopefully I'll have better luck than you, and she'll come talk to us) and with the Presidential elections next year I'm thinking this might be a good badge to do and I think it just might end up being fun!ReplyDelete
I am leading this activity for our troop and found this helpful for ideas. For step 1, we brainstormed ways to be an acitive citizen and why those things are important. We also covered Step 4 last night where I gave them each a copy of a local newspaper that comes out monthly covering issues/topics only for our area (this way avoided all the presidential race stuff, gay marriage stuff and terriost stuff that's been in the news lately). They each had to select an article and then pretend they are a reporter on the news covering that topic. I coached them to think about the 5 W's - what, why, who, when, where - - that if a person didn't have this newspaper to read, how would they get the key points across to someone in our city. They enjoyed this activity and I also liked that it was good practice speaking in front of a group. We are going on a 3 night trip this summer to our state captial for Step 2. Still working on exactly how I want to cover steps 3 and 5 for our next meeting.ReplyDelete
I'm disappointed to hear that your elected officials were so unsupportive. I've had a refreshingly different experience. I called up our city government to check on the ownership of some public statues for the Save of Sculptures patch (sadly no longer available, but a great experience regardless). The lady I spoke to immediately invited the troop to come and share their findings with the Historic Preservation Commission, which got me thinking about working on the rest of this patch at our next meeting. One of my girls is on student council, and three are British-American dual citizens, so those will be nice perspectives to throw into the mix.ReplyDelete
Another idea is to talk to your school board! They are invested in kids, and depending on the state, volunteering their time to provide leadership guidance to the schools. They create policies, the calendar, etc. These are things the kids might actually be invested in. There are levels of decision making, like building principal, superintendent, and board. Finding out who is making decisions that effect them will also help them to understand hierarchy and chain of command. They can also learn about state and federal mandates, which is even more hierarchy! Some things you might want to discuss: clothing policies/dress code, bus routes, field trips, the school schedule (why so early/late, etc.), the school calendar, what are the requited number of days in school and who made that rule? You might also ask about teachers' unions and school contracts and why there are times the teachers seem to be upset. You can ask where the money/funding for schools comes from and how that's divided. (Maybe plan ahead and ask if the business administrator can give a simplified version of the budget and expenditures.) You can ask what are some of their greatest challenges? Why they are on the school board? How they got on (elected, appointed, etc.)? What are some of their frustrations?ReplyDelete
I suggest you contact your local board of education, who are invested in education and possibly are already volunteering to lead the district. You can discuss policy, curriculum, etc. You can talk about the chain-of-command, the state and federal mandates, etc. Perhaps alert the Business Administrator and he can give a simplified list of budget items and income to you when you meet.ReplyDelete

Prophetic Revelation for this Decade
Dearly Beloved,
This is the 2nd decade in the 21st century of the 3rd millennium. It is a very significant year that the Lord has called a Year of Great Revival and every prophecy the Lord has spoken over our lives shall definitely come to pass. However, over the next four years there will be judgement in the world and we should be on the lookout for the following incidents:
Iran will spring a big surprise on Europe, such that Europe will be forced into signing a treaty with Iran.
I see an uprising along the boundary Spain shares with France. A country in the Far East which has been secretly developing an arsenal concealed from the rest of the world will be revealed within the next four years.
On the surface, the United States of America appears to take a strong stance against some nations in the world but it will soon emerge that they have been holding underground talks about alliance with those nations. All these powers must come into unity, not by their own volition, but by the will of He that shapes their fate.
Persecution against Christians will not be as pronounced as it has been in recent times, until the beginning of 2015. From 2015, however, there will be a great uprising against Christians. First, from within the church, that is, one church against the other and then one denomination against another. This will be followed swiftly by governments against the church, enacting laws and decrees that would make it almost impossible to publicly profess one's faith.
Yours in Christ

Now on to the annotated game that I promised. This game needs a little bit of an introduction: It was the last game of the night and it was against my highest rated opponent thus far in the night. He knew that I had won all my previous games but he insisted on telling everybody how horrible of a chess player I was and that I was on a huge luck streak. He asked me what my rating was and when I said "980" he proceeded to laugh in my face and said I was a joke and that he would dispose of me quickly. He showed absolute ZERO respect for me, not just as a chess player but as a person. I wanted nothing more than to show this guy what it was like to get his ass handed to him, in a very royal fashion. This game caused Fritz 10 to give me " ! " on two separate moves! All annotations were provided by Fritz 10 with the exception of the ones that start with "Nemo:". I hope you enjoy this game as much as I did. Was a nice way to end the night and to shut up a cocky chess player. Enjoy!
CCC Weekly
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Qf6!? (diagram 1)
Nemo: I found this move to be insulting. It proved that my opponent had no respect for me and wished to employ ignorant opening moves in the hopes that it would throw me off.
[2...Nc6 3. Nc3= ]
[3.Nc3 Nc6]
[3...exd4!? 4.Qxd4 Nc6]
[4.Nc3 Bg4]
4...Qg6 5.Nc3 exd4
6.Qxd4 c5? (diagram 2)
7.Qe3 h6 8.Bf4 Nf6 9.Bd3
[9.0-0-0!? keeps an even further grip]
9...Ng4 10.Qe2 Be7??
Black has lost his nerve... understandable when you consider his position. This allows White to win a pawn and a piece.
11.e5 Qh5 12.exd6 0-0 13.dxe7 Re8 14.0-0-0 Nc6
Nemo: This move was a mistake in my eyes as it allowed me to come up with a nice little combination to force Black to give up a piece for two pawns and a major Kingside attack or lose his Queen.
15.h3 Rxe7 16.Qd2 Nf6 17.g4 (diagram 3)
Nemo: The point of my last comment. Black either has to deal with the loss of his Queen or sacrifice a minor piece for two pawns and a horrible position. This move deserves a " ! " if you ask me.
17...Nxg4 18.hxg4 Qxg4 19.Bxh6!
Nemo: That's right! Fritz gave me the good move! This move fell directly in my strategy of attacking the King. It's kind of a pseudo sacrifice that I thought was brilliant at the time. I'm leaving the Knight and the Bishop hanging. If Black takes on h6, then Rg1 was pretty decisive. I was proud of this move.
19...Qxf3 20.Bxg7!
Mate attack.
Nemo: Fritz gave me the good move yet again! Notice how my pieces are all pointed at Black's King and his pieces are extremely uncoordinated.
20...Kxg7 21.Qg5+ Kf8 22.Rh8# (diagram 4)
What this game came down to was me isolating the King in his own corner and never giving up the initiative. I kept creating problems for this guy and it payed off. I felt victorious after this game and a few Class A players congratulated me on my victories that night and especially my victory over this cocky player. I hope you enjoyed this game as much as I did. I hope to bring more games like this to the table. One step closer to mastery!

How does Rodeph Sholom worship?
At Rodeph Sholom we celebrate Shabbat on either Friday evenings or Saturday mornings in a wide array of ways. From contemporary Reform style or alternative services led by one of our guest rabbis, to eclectic and experimental experiences led by one of our members - there is something for everyone! We pray from the new Reform prayerbooks, which are inspiring and uplifting and offer transliteration for people who do not read Hebrew.

First of all, Clarabelle & the Hen uses amazing, quality pajamas - Under the Nile - to print on. These are soft, soft, soft! They have a little stretch to them so your little one can run and stay in these all day if they wanted to. The personalized initial is large and differentiated for boy and girl. It can also be printed on different stripe pajamas: blue/white and pink/white. Just turn inside out to wash and no cracking! My initial instinct was to veer toward the blue/white combo but since it was the holiday season I thought the red/white combo would be apropos.

How to Measure Distance on Google Maps

With Google Maps, there are two different ways to measure distance. First, you can measure the distance between two locations using the Google Maps directions feature. This calculates the distance along streets. Second, you can measure distance between any two points using the Google Maps measure distance feature. This article describes how to do both of these things.
Measuring Distance Using the Directions Feature
1Go to Google Maps. Google Maps is located at www.google.com/maps.
2In the Getting around box, click Directions.
3Choose the starting location. In the Choose starting point, or click on the map field, type a street address, city, or other location for the starting point, and then press Enter.. You can also click a specific point on the map.
- As you type a location, Google Maps will suggest possible addresses. Click an address to select it as the starting location.
- Click the + button to zoom in and the - button to zoom out. If you have a mouse wheel, you can scroll it up and down to zoom in and out.
- Click and drag the map to move it.
4Choose the ending location. In the Choose destination, or click on the map field, type a street address, city, or other location for the ending point, and then press Enter. You can also click specific point on the map.
5Review the distance. In the upper right corner of the directions box, Google Maps shows the total distance in miles as measured along its suggested route.
- Different routes will have different distances.
6Clear your search. In the upper right corner of the directions box, click X to clear your search and start over.
Measuring Distance Using the Measure Distance Feature
1Go to Google Maps. Google Maps is located at www.google.com/maps.

Community Q&A
QuestionHow do I measure distance on a river, specifically a river like the Yukon River which is full of bends and twists?Community AnswerYou can search Google for the length of the Yukon River. This will be easier than trying to find the distance yourself using Google maps. Also, sometimes Google Maps will have quick facts about certain areas and may have the length of the Yukon there.

The magazine holder has many great uses to help you make your RV or Camper organized. This is the only way you will keep your RV organized. This is great for your RV or Trailer Travel. This residential storage space allows you to carry lots of clothing for extended transportation and is ready for change in the climate. It is tucked away from the road in the back of your RV, and the distinctive design gives a large amount of space to hang the laundry.
Wardrobe doors are another great place to add additional storage for a Towel. Hidden counter space is one of the ideal RV storage ideas you've ever been to. It's difficult because there can be very little space for storage in the first place.

iOS 5 includes new notifications, Newsstand, Twitter integration
Apple iOS 5 to come with huge improvements, Twitter, new notifications
Apple have finally unveiled the goodness that is iOS 5 which is the next firmware slated for iOS-powered devices like the iPod, iPhone and iPad. iOS 5 is a major overhaul, which includes a completely revamped notification system which is very Android-like. Notifications are no longer temporary, but are viewable in the Notification Center which is accessed by swiping down from the top of the screen. The notifications are no longer pop-up bubbles, but text bubbles that temporarily swivel down while users are busy in another app.
iOS 5 also includes Newsstand which is poised to be a one-stop location for buying, downloading and reading magazines and newspapers. Issues that are acquired within Newsstand are downloaded automatically in the background and available for offline reading.
Big news to come from iOS 5 is integration throughout the OS in the form of Twitter. Yes, Twitter! It uses a single sign-on that can be shared by any app that requests it. Twitter functions are visible throughout all default apps such as Camera, Photos, Safari and Maps. This allows people to post media, web links and map locations. Safari has also received enhancements including tamps, a streamlined Reader view and a Reading list for viewing pages later. The Reading List is capable of being synched across multiple iOS-based devices.
The Camera app has seen a shortcut button placed on the lock screen which allows for pictures to be taken even if the phone is locked and the passcode hasn't been entered. The physical volume up button on a device can be used as a camera shutter, and pinch-to-zoom is being enabled in-app. Tapping and holding on a portal of the image will optimize exposure. Included is limited editing which includes cropping, rotation, red-eye reduction and a one-tap automatic correction.
Mail app is not left out and now includes flagging, rich-text formatting, indentation control, draggable addresses and the ability to search for keywords in an entire message. S/MIME support has been added for better security and the Mail app now takes advantage of the new OS-wide dictionary, which lets users tap "Define" in a pop-up menu. iPad-specific options include getting access to a split keyboard.
The next feature I've been wondering why it has taken Apple so long, but we're finally getting what Apple calls "PC Free". Upon opening your new iOS-based device out of its box, no longer will iTunes be required to setup and activate it. Syncing can also now be done over Wi-Fi as well as USB. Future firmware updates will be available over-the-air and as smaller additions making each download considerably smaller.
One of the biggest features is iMessage. iMessage effectively kills SMS by creating a service that allows all iOS-based devices to have access to SMS/MMS-style messaging on the iPhone. iMessage includes features like sending photos, videos and contacts and group chat. As conversations progress, real-time typing notifications are present and delivery/reading receipts sent if a person is not immediately available.
Game Center is not left out, and will now include showing friend and game recommendations as well as offering the option of buying games without the App Store. Turn-based games can now be played within the OS. Other features that are planned for iOS 5 include the public availability of multitasking gestures and AirPlay mirroring which allows people to duplicate what is on the iPads screen on an Apple TV.
Any iOS-based device that supports iOS 4.3.x will work with iOS 5, a developer seed of the iOS 5 SDK is out now and the final firmware will be ready in the fall.
