Okay, the idea just came across my mind when I was shopping at the groceries yesterday. So here is it..Passion fruit Cheesecake with Chocolate!!
I just mixed and matched the recipes from here and there then I feel like eating it with some chocolate. Then was thinking to coat the whole cake with chocolate but it seems like too sweet or too heavy, so at the end..layered them is my final decision.
Want to try this out? Here's the recipe ...
Composition: ( recipe fits for a 7" round pan)
2 slices sponge cake ( I've cut into small rectangles to fit into 2 small rectangle pans )
** Recipe refer here.
Cheese filling:
250g cream cheese
70 caster sugar
80 fresh passion fruit juice
3/4 tbsps gelatine powder
2 tbsps water
250g fresh cream (whipped)
100g melted semi-sweet chocolate
~ To make the filling, beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth, stir in passion fruit juice.
~ Melt gelatine powder with water over a simmering water. Stir into cheese mixture, then fold in whipped cream and mix well.
~ Place a slice of sponge into the prepared pan, spread about half an inch cream cheese filling on top of sponge, spread a thin layer of melted chocolate then place another layer of sponge on the chocolate. Lastly cover the top with cheese mixture. (as shown above)
~ Chill overnight and serve cold.
The texture of the sponge is soft, and it's like eating an ice cream cake! My whole family loves it especially my daughter. She has been asking one slice after another, that really please me..:)
Want to have a bite..hehe! I'm going to share with my dear friend later and see what she says..;p
Have a good start tomorrow!!

The Creighton softball team fell 8-4 to league-leading DePaul at the CU Sports Complex Saturday.
Over 600 fans came out to the CU Sports Complex to cheer on Creighton (25-19, 6-8 BIG EAST) on a sunny afternoon, but the Jays fell behind early and could not recoup the lead in a setback to DePaul (33-8, 13-0 BIG EAST). As a result the Blue Demons swept the series to remain undefeated in BIG EAST play while Creighton sits sixth in the league standings but just one game out of third place.
Sophomore Blake Ringle led the Jays with a pair of hits and an RBI. Freshman Allie Reinhart posted two RBI in the game for CU. Seven different Bluejays connected at the plate in the game.
CU senior Becca Changstrom opened in the circle in game one for the Bluejays.
A three-run homer with two outs put the Blue Demons up 3-0 in the top of the first frame
Creighton scored in the bottom of the second. Junior Bri Lingl doubled off the right center wall with one. Sophomore Erin McGonigal entered the game to run for Lingl at second. Next up freshman Jen Daro swatted another long double to the outfield to score McGonigal and cut the lead to 3-1.
The Bluejays closed to within one in the third. Senior Ellen Homan ripped a one-out double to start things off. Junior Liz Dike then reached on a fielder's choice and Reinhart followed with a single through the right side. Ringle followed with an RBI single to the same side to cut the Blue Demon lead to 3-2 after three. CU missed an opportunity to bring in more runs as they left the bases loaded.
DePaul answered with three in the top of the fourth inning. A single and hit by pitch set the table for a two-RBI triple to move the visitors ahead 5-2. A one-out sacrifice bunt brought across another score to give the Blue Demons a four-run cushion.
Creighton added a score in the bottom of the fifth. Homan reached on an error and later advanced to second and then third on wild pitches to open the inning. A sacrifice fly from Reinhart would score Homan from third to cut the DePaul lead to 6-4 after five.
The Blue Demons added two final runs in the top of the sixth. CU senior Brittany Telecky came on in relief to open the sixth but DePaul quickly loaded the bases prompting the return of Changstrom. An RBI single and sacrifice fly led to DePaul's final pair of runs in the game.
Changstrom fell to 14-11 overall with the setback.
The Bluejays step out of conference play when they host instate rival No. 20 Nebraska. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT Wednesday at the CU Sports Complex.

JERUSALEM — Two years after construction began, Israel has finished the bulk of the work on a fence along its border with Egypt.
Closing off the rambling, 140-mile-long stretch of desert border will prevent the "unfettered flow of illegal infiltrators, the smuggling of drugs and weapons," said a statement from the Defense Ministry, which oversaw the $400-million engineering project.
Speaking at a ceremony marking the completion of the main section, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the effort to curb the illegal entry of migrants from Africa, reduced from more than 2,000 a month in January 2012 to fewer than 40 in December.
Stopping the migrants is one aim of the fence, which stands about 15 to 20 feet high and includes multiple layers of barbed wire, communications equipment, a patrol road and asphalt track. It is similar to portions of the barrier that seals off the occupied West Bank from Israel, although that fence includes sections of concrete wall.

LOS ANGELES >> The trade deadline passed on Thursday, and the Lakers' roster mostly looks the same.
Pau Gasol survived yet another round of trade discussions and will remain a Laker. Jordan Hill also will stay on the team despite the Lakers holding various conversations with the Brooklyn Nets, Dallas Mavericks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Phoenix Suns about shipping them. Same with seldom-used center Chris Kaman.
But with the Lakers nearly guaranteed to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2005, they hardly took the steps they hoped leading into the deadline in making the first steps toward a significant rebuilding process. The Lakers walked away from the trade deadline without any additional draft picks for this year's star studded class. Nor did the Lakers fall below the luxury tax threshold, a move that could've helped them avoid the so-called "repeater's tax."
The Lakers traded Steve Blake to the Golden State Warriors Wednesday night for two seldom-used point guards in Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks, a cost-cutting move that saved the Lakers about $4 million in combined salary and luxury taxes. But the Lakers' payroll remains at $76.9 million and the luxury tax threshold stays at $71.7 million. That leaves the Lakers vulnerable for the repeater tax, a penalty that applies to teams that spend over the luxury tax in four of five seasons since the NBA's new labor deal was constructed in 2011.
Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak has said such cost-cutting measures were hardly a "driving force." The Lakers had talked with Gasol to the Phoenix Suns, but they were only intent on shipping him if it entailed receiving draft picks. The Lakers had no interest in ridding Gasol's $19.3 million million contract without any additional assets.
Still, the Lakers only have one first-round pick, their first since 2007.

48 Years Ago: Roger Daltrey Walks Out on the Who
The early days of the Who were tumultuous times. Four different personalities were learning to coexist. The band changed its name three times. Pete Townshend and Keith Moon began to revel in the joy of destroying their instruments. And Roger Daltrey often found himself at odds with the rest of the band.
In an interview in the documentary, 'Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who,' Pete even recounts what he thought of his bandmates at the time. John Entwistle, Moon and himself all fell in the "genius" column, but "Roger was a singer; that was it." Although the Who were often fueled by friction, in 1965 that tension almost killed the band.
Following the last two shows of a European tour in September of '65, Roger and Keith got into a brawl, which Daltrey later chalked up to his disgust with the Who's drug use and its effect on their performances. Roger got the boot and the Who announced they would replace him with Boz Burrell. The London bassist/singer was a member of R&B band that featured future Small Faces keyboardist Ian MacLagan. Boz never played a gig with the Who. The whole thing was short-lived and Daltrey was reinstated before the band's next gig. Burrell went on to become part of King Crimson and co-found Bad Company.
Roger was brought back to the Who as long as he stopped any violent behavior. During his school days, Daltrey had earned a reputation as a bully. He later reflected on leaving his fighting ways behind. "I thought if I lost the band I was dead. If I didn't stick with the Who, I would be a sheet metal worker for the rest of my life," Daltrey said in 'The Who and the Making of Tommy,'
But everything wasn't always hunky dory. On November 19, 1965, Daltrey reportedly stormed off the stage after the Who's performance of their new single, 'My Generation' at a concert called the Glad Rag Ball at Wembley's Empire Pool. The show featured Donovan, Wilson Pickett and others and was being filmed for a TV program to air in December. It was the largest audience (10,000) the Who had seen in their young career. Although Daltrey blamed his issues on the public address system, nerves might have played a role as well.
Footage of the Who playing 'My Generation' on that night still exists -- see above -- showing Roger looking angrier than usual and listlessly wandering around the stage (although we don't see him leave). Some reports indicate that Daltrey quit the band after the show and that, again, Burrell was announced as a replacement. However, it's possible that the dust-up in September and this incident in November got mixed together over time, and it's not clear if Daltrey walked out on the group.
It's easy to see how the two events could be jumbled. For example, in the 'Amazing Journey' documentary, footage is shown from the Glad Rag Ball in November while Roger is discussing the fight in September (likely because no film exists of the Denmark concerts). The events have become conflated, in some way. Regardless of exactly what happened backstage, it was quashed almost immediately, because the Who (with Daltrey) played a show the following night – along with another 24 gigs before the year ended. The kids were all right.

5 Summertime Cruise Destinations
John Warburton-Lee/AWL Images RM/Getty Images
En español | Whatever floats your boat — fun in the sun, natural beauty, historical sites or cultural attractions — there's a ship that can get you there. On a summertime cruise, you can see everything from tropical landscapes to snow-covered mountains, even in summer.
1. The Alaska Wilds
The cruising season in Alaska is from May to September, when visitors can view calving glaciers and pristine wilderness areas. The 49th state also serves up Gold Rush history and native Alaskan culture, not to mention such activities as salmon fishing, dogsledding and wildlife watching that can include sightings of eagles, whales and even bears. You'll need a jacket: Some areas get chilly, though the temperature can hit 80 degrees in Juneau.
2. Family Fun in the Caribbean
You might think of the Caribbean as a winter vacation destination, but it's also one of the best places for a summer cruise — especially if you're traveling with kids. Decent summertime rates attract plenty of multigenerational families. Kids are delighted by the powdery sands and the chance to play in the water. Plus, many cruise lines work hard to keep youngsters happy and occupied, allowing parents and grandparents to enjoy some grown-up time.
3. British-Style Island Time in Bermuda
Get a dose of British style on this island. It's an excellent destination for a summertime cruise not only because of its lovely ambience, but also because it's so easily accessible from East Coast cities such as New York, Boston and Baltimore. Cruises include a few lazy days at sea and a few days docked at the island. From your floating hotel you'll have easy access to pink-sand beaches, colonial sights and shops selling British goods. High tea, anyone?
4. Lighthouses and Lobsters in New England/Canada
Lobsters, colonial history, beautiful rugged coastline and whale sightings are among the attractions of these sailings. Leave from ports in Boston or New York and head up to the delights of scenic Maine; the historical attractions of Halifax, Nova Scotia; and the wonders of the Bay of Fundy in St. John, New Brunswick. Some cruises also stop in Newport, R.I., with its over-the-top Gilded Age mansions.
5. History and Culture in Europe
Many culture vultures consider a cruise to points in Europe a must. The Mediterranean is a favorite: Ships embark from ports in Barcelona, Rome, Venice and Athens for visits to the big cities and quaint towns — including points along the French Riviera — of the region's eastern and western reaches. Northern Europe cruises explore the Baltic, visiting cities in Scandinavia as well as St. Petersburg, Russia; the British Isles; or the stunningly beautiful coast of Norway.

Flashback: Has it been 20 years already?
Anytime a team wins a Super Bowl it's special no matter how they get there. The last two Super Bowl Champions didn't make it into the playoffs until the final game of the season. The Packers got in back in 2010 as the 6th seed and won it all and the Giants got in last season as the 4th seed and won it all. I'm sure the fans of those teams loved every second of the postseason as their teams got hot at the right time. The Giants were 6-6 in 2011 at one point and were left for dead by most experts as well as their fans. The Packers back in 2010 needed to win in the last week of the season along with some help to back into the playoffs. All of the bad things from the regular season were forgotten once these teams won the Super Bowl. It's rare to have one of those magical seasons from beginning to end, but when it does happen it's the greatest ride ever.
I realized the other day that it has been 20 years since the Cowboys had one of those magical seasons and went on to win the Super Bowl. Back in 1992 the Cowboys were on a mission from the first game of the season right through the Super Bowl. It seems like just yesterday as I can remember every game they played and how they became more dominant as the season went on. It was Jimmy Johnson's fourth season as head coach and the Cowboys had ended the 1991 season with a horrible playoff loss to the Lions, 38-6. Some thought the Cowboys were probably still a year or two away from seriously competing for a championship. The Cowboys thought differently.
The Cowboys fielded the youngest team in the NFL in 1992. They also had the top ranked defense in the league, but when it came time for Pro Bowl selections not one player from the Cowboys defense was selected. The defense did not really have house hold names other than Charles Haley, who the Cowboys traded for before the start of the season. Haley was looked at as the final piece the Cowboys needed for their Super Bowl run. Some of the others joining Haley on that top ranked defense were Russell Maryland, Tony Casillas, Jim Jeffcoat, Tony Tolbert, Leon Lett, Ken Norton Jr., Vinson Smith, Robert Jones, Larry Brown, Thomas Everett, Kevin Smith, James Washington and Darren Woodson.
On offense it seemed as though the Cowboys were unstoppable most of the time. It started up front with Erik Williams, John Gesek, Mark Stepnoski, Nate Newton and Mark Tuinei. From there defenses had to deal with Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Alvin Harper, Kelvin Martin, Jay Novacek and Daryl Johnston. With Norv Turner running the offense the Cowboys developed a balanced attack that opposing teams had a hard time defending them at times.
The Cowboys finished 1992 with a 13-3 record. There best record since going 12-2 back in 1977 when they went on to win Super Bowl XII. They were 7-1 at Texas Stadium in 1992. Their only loss was to the LA Rams 27-23. On the road they went 6-2 with losses to the Eagles 31-7 and the Redskins 20-17. They beat out the Eagles for the NFC Eastern Division Championship, but came up short for home field advantage to the 49ers.
Here are a few games that will always stand out from that magical 1992 season.
Week 1: The Cowboys opened the season in Texas Stadium against the Redskins who were defending Champions. Issiac Holt Blocked a punt that went out of the end zone to give the Cowboys an early 2-0 lead and they never looked back. Emmitt Smith rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown and Kelvin Martin added a 79 yard punt return in the third quarter. The Cowboys went on to win 23-10.
Week 2: The Cowboys traveled to New Jersey to take on the Giants. It seemed to be no contest as the Cowboys jumped out to a 34-0 third quarter lead. The Giants scored twice before the end of the third quarter to make the score 34-14. What I remember most is that the scoreboard operator changed the score to show that the Giants had won the game 35-34 during the fourth quarter. The Giants did make it interesting, but the Cowboys held on for a 34-28 victory.
Week 9: Just a few weeks earlier the Cowboys were crushed by the Eagles 31-7 in Philadelphia. In the rematch the Cowboys defense took a stand and dominated as they only allowed 190 yards to the Eagles offense. Emmitt Smith rushed for 163 yards as the Cowboys won 20-10 and improved to 7-1.
Week 10: The Cowboys ended the 1991 season with a 38-6 loss in the playoffs to the Lions. In 1992 the Cowboys made a return trip to Detroit, but this time it would end much different. Emmitt Smith scored three touchdowns and Michael Irvin had 114 yards receiving and a touchdown. The Cowboys defense only allowed 201 yards to the Lions offense as they cruised to a 37-3 victory.
Week 13: It was Thanksgiving at Texas Stadium and the Giants were coming for a visit. Unlike the first match-up with the Giants this time it would not be close. The Cowboys defense once again dominated as they collected four sacks and only allowed 207 yards to the Giants offense. Emmitt Smith rushed for 120 yards and scored twice, which included a 68 yard score in the third quarter. The Cowboys improved to 10-2 with a 30-3 victory.
Week 16: The Cowboys traveled to Atlanta for a Monday Night game looking to lock up the NFC East title. The game included one of the most incredible runs in Emmitt Smith's career. He seemed to get stopped by a wall of Falcon defenders, but then he bounced away and broke free down the right sideline as he beat Deion Sanders to the end zone for a 29 yard touchdown run. Smith added another 29 yard score and rushed for 174 yards. Troy Aikman completed 18 of 21 passes and threw three touchdown passes. The Cowboys won their first NFC East title since 1985 as they beat the Falcons 41-17.
Divisional Playoffs: For the third time in 1992 the Cowboys would be playing the Eagles and for the second time at Texas Stadium. It was also the first playoff game at Texas Stadium since 1983. Once again the Cowboys dominated the Eagles and won 34-10. The Cowboys defense only allowed 178 yards to the Eagles offense and sacked Randall Cunningham five times. Emmitt Smith added 114 yards and a score.
NFC Championship: Leading up to this game there seemed to be two stories. One was the last time the Cowboys played in San Francisco for the NFC Championship back in 1981, which ended with "The Catch" by Dwight Clark. The other was the muddy field conditions after a week of soaking rains. None of that mattered to this Cowboys team as they showed no fear against the 14-2 49ers led by Steve Young and Jerry Rice. What always comes to mind was early in the game Kevin Smith left the field for a play with a shoulder injury. On the next play Young connected with Rice on a long touchdown as he beat Issiac Holt who replaced Smith. But the 49ers were called for holding and the touchdown was called back. It seemed as though from that point on the Cowboys had the upper hand. The Cowboys defense controlled the 49ers offense and the Cowboys offense was able to move the ball and control the clock as they built a 24-13 fourth quarter lead. Young was able to bring the 49ers to within 24-20 late in the fourth quarter and most thought that Jimmy Johnson would try to get a few first downs and run out the clock. On the first play after the ensuing kickoff Troy Aikman connected with Alvin Harper across the middle as the defender fell down. Harper broke free and was finally taken down at the 49ers ten yard line after a 70 yard gain. From there Aikman sealed the game with a short touchdown pass to Kelvin Martin. The Cowboys beat the 49ers 30-20 to advance to Super Bowl XXVII. It was the first Super Bowl for the Cowboys since 1978. It was also the game that will be known for Jimmy Johnson yelling in the locker room "How bout them Cowboys!!"
Super Bowl XXVII: My first ever Cowboys game was Super Bowl XII against the Broncos back in 1977. I can't really say I knew what was happening, but I remembered the star on the helmet. Now 15 years later I was enjoying every second of the Super Bowl including all the pregame leading up to it. I couldn't wait to see the Cowboys name in the end zone as well as watching the player introductions. I took it all in and remember it like it was yesterday. I also remember the Cowboys being down 7-0 to the Bills after getting a punt blocked, which led to a Thurman Thomas touchdown. From that point on it was all Cowboys as they outscored the Bills 52-10. The Cowboys defense recovered five fumbles and collected four interceptions for a record nine turnovers in the game. The defense also scored two touchdowns by Jimmie Jones and Ken Norton Jr. It could have been three touchdowns and a Super Bowl record 59 points, but we all know what happened when Leon Lett celebrated too soon on his fumble return. Troy Aikman earned the game's MVP as he competed 22 of 30 passes for 273 yards and four touchdowns. Emmitt Smith added 114 yards and a touchdown and Michael Irvin added two touchdowns. All the great numbers aside, what really meant the most was the incredible journey from that 1992 season and then seeing the team holding the Lombardi Trophy and celebrating. It was a feeling unlike any feeling I have ever felt as fan.
It's just so hard to believe that it has been 20 years since that magical season of 1992. The players have long been gone, but will never be forgotten. Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin have all entered the Hall of Fame. Watching Jimmy Johnson every Sunday on Fox always brings back great memories. Charles Haley has been helping out the Cowboys defensive linemen recently as well as waiting for his own name to be called for the Hall of Fame. We also remember Mark Tuinei who passed away too soon back in 1999.
The 1992 Cowboys will always be remembered as one of the great Cowboys teams of all time as well as one of the great NFL teams of all time. Their magical season will never be forgotten.
"How bout them Cowboys!!"

hehe, oh yes I had forgotten to add my latest translation update.
The next iso will have it corrected.
It should be just this one sentence:
NOINTERFACES="No new interfaces were detected."
Line 63 in /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/net-setup.mo
Many thanks for this hint, jonyo

You don't need to update seamonkey, just the german was broken.
Of course you can, if you prefer to have 1.1.7.
I was told that 1.12 is faster, so I kept it.
I'm also not shure, if skipstone works with 1.17.
The mplayer-plugin has a menu-entry in "internet".
That opens a dialog.
Here you can select, if you want to use it in Firefox, Seamonkey, or both.
If you click on "off", it is deactivated.
Then the default-applications will be used again.
For example Mplayer (as external program, not embedded in the browser).
Then some movies are not streamed, but must be downloaded completely to watch them.
This is, what the plugin avoids, it can stream sites.
See screenshot and Page to test it here:
It tells you to visit:
In the left box there, you see MPEG1 .
If you click on that without the plugin, that will be downloaded to disk.
If the plugin is active, the movie is displayed immedeatly in a rectangular area in your webbrowser (as stream).

Ok, Just stumbled on Expose2 window overview..neat! Option comes up when the cursor is at the top of the screen.
Not sure yet at this point if this problem extends to other stuff but when I try to move the clock on the desktop (click on it, hold & drag to another spot), often doesn't work the first time.

yes, it must be clicked first to get the focus.
I found no solution to avoid this, even after hours of testing and reading the Gtk-documentation.
In jwm you cannot move it at all like this.
Instead, you must right-click on the clock-entry in the taskbar -> move.

Broken Cups?
ok, I'm now in the house of my colleague, so I can test printing.
I get an error about that application/postscript cannot be used.
It seems on my update to Cups 1.3.5 I missed files.
Stefan says, I maybe must enable the PDF-printing again.
If I just knew how that is added
I will try to repair that in the next days, and also add more drivers again.
If someone already had success in setting up the printing, I'd be glad if you could tell me, what you changed.

Subject description: Muppy 008.1 undearable slow
Just installed the 008.1 as fugal.
I kept the pup_save from the 008 by renaming it to msy_save.
After a short time when loading f.e. Seamonkey the system almost comes to a stop.
RAM % was at about 33%
CPU 1396 Mhz, which is ok.
CPU usage at about 5%
So I don't know why it was like this. I have 256MB RAM.
When I used a swap file things were much better, alltho not as quick as 008.
Downloaded the addon and booted with it.
Forgot the swap and opening OO writer took > 10 minutes.
Again no real indication why.
After activating the swap performance was much better, but still not at the level of 008.
Swap is at 35% now.
So clearly 008.1 isn't for small (256MB RAM) machines.
I look at top, 251440K is used, 3964K free, 17788K buff, 127988K cached.
Any idea why so slow?
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

Hello MU,
nice job done and I enjoy it, but there is a little point, I like to mentioned.
To be able to use a "german" version of Puppy is realy nice, but do you miss to compile it with the "german" letters???
I do have standard a german keyboard, of course, but I am stongly missing "ÄäÖöÜüß" with it.
Would be nice to see it in your nice compilation to be able to use a full german keyboard within the programs.
Another interesting ADD to your compilation would be the programs from "SoftMaker", maybee you can think about this and ADD it in future releases. There are some Trial versions available at: www.softmaker.de

The missing äöü, this is in Xvesa.
It cannot handle them like xorg.
I included a old program for this, please run in the menu:
System -> Systemverwaltung -> Keyboard-layouts
There you can choose a german keyboard-layout for Xvesa.
Textmaker has many limitations in the "free" (still closed source) edition, and is no free software, so I will not include it. It also would require additional libs (libQT).
So I prefer to stay with Abiword/OpenOffice.

Pitching coach Dan Warthen apologized for a racial slur and received support from Daisuke Matsuzaka and his interpreter, Jeff Cutler.
Warthen approached Cutler in the clubhouse and apologized to Cutler, saying: "I'm sorry I called you a Chinaman yesterday.''
Warthen said the statement was a joke, and Cutler said he was not offended. However, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, a Chinese American from San Francisco heard the apology, and was put off by it, although not hearing the context of the original comment.
Warthen and GM Sandy Alderson apologized on behalf of the club.
Neither Matsuzaka nor Cutler vilified Warthen.
"Today I was just preparing for my game, so I just spoke to him about today's lineup and what was going on during the game,'' Matsuzaka said through Cutler. "… I think everyone makes mistakes, and Dan has already commented on it. I don't want to dig deeper into it or try to add to what it is.''
Said Cutler: "Dan has already commented on it. And Sandy has talked about it. I don't really have anything else to add to it.''
In addition:
* Matsuzaka started in the 7-5 victory over Washington and gave up one earned run and three hits over 3 2/3 innings. He struck out four and walked none to increase his grip as the projected fifth starter.
* Noah Syndergaard gave up three runs in 3.2 innings. He struck out five and acknowledged he would be sent to the minor leagues to start the season.
* Manager Terry Collins used Rafael Montero and Jacob deGrom in relief. They will additional looks this spring, but neither is expected to make the Opening Day roster in the pen.
* Ruben Tejada committed his third error in six exhibition games, and after going 0-for-3, is 1-for-15.
* Ike Davis (calf injuries) and Lucas Duda (left hamstring) took batting practice and grounders. Neither ran, but Collins is hoping they can be used this weekend in DH roles.

Tips for Avoiding Sun Flare-Ups
Posted: 06/03/2013
Sun exposure is a leading rosacea trigger, so here are some tips to help you safely survive the summer sun:
• Find the right sunscreen formula. There are two types of damaging rays: In general, UVA rays age skin; UVB rays burn it. Not all sunscreens protect against both types, so look for non-chemical sunscreens that contain zinc or titanium dioxide and an SPF of 15 or higher.
• Use it early and often. Apply sunscreen liberally (about a shot glass worth for each application) at least 30 minutes before going outdoors and periodically throughout the time spent in the sun. Use it daily whether it's sunny or cloudy.
• Wear a hat. Make sure the hat has a wide brim or visor to shade your face. A sun umbrella might also be a good investment if you plan to be out for an extended time.
• Limit peak exposure. If possible, avoid being in direct sunlight from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Plan outdoor activities and exercise for when the sun is not as intense.
• Stay cool. Remember to stay hydrated by taking along a water bottle. Chewing on ice chips also helps, especially with flushing.
• Don't forget your medicine. Be sure to continue your medical therapy as prescribed by your doctor.

Long-distance knowledge sharing network expands in Indonesia
|GDLN Indonesia covers more than 220 public and private universities across the archipelago, opening up opportunities to share knowledge both within Indonesia and with other countries.
Indonesia's participation in GDLN began several years ago with distance learning centers at the University of Indonesia and three other universities around the country having been connected to the global network, via satellite, under a World Bank loan. However, a few months ago, the Government of Indonesia decided to bridge the four existing centers, through the University of Indonesia DLC [3], with the broadband fiber optic infrastructure of the Indonesia Higher Education Network (INHERENT).
Through this link-up, GDLN Indonesia now covers more than 220 public and private universities across the archipelago. This expanded reach opens up huge opportunities to share knowledge both within Indonesia and with other countries. In his speech at the launch, the Minister of Education noted "I am confident that over time GDLN Indonesia will grow stronger and wider, and will play a significant role in supporting the development of not only higher education, but also other sectors by connecting any corner of Indonesia to the world and bring the world to any corner of Indonesia."
This re-shaping of GDLN in Indonesia is typical of what is beginning to happen across the global network. When GDLN was originally launched by the World Bank in 2000 it was hailed as an important initiative [4] for bridging the digital divide, affording an opportunity for real-time sharing of knowledge across the globe through live videoconferencing. The problem, however, was that the infrastructure needed to fulfill this promise didn't really exist. The videoconferencing facilities that were available were located mainly in capital cities, and connectivity, which was provided by satellite or ISDN, was prohibitively expensive.
With the advent of videoconferencing over the internet, things began to change. In part due to encouragement through the Internet2 consortium [5], networks of higher education and research around the world began to affiliate with or provide connectivity for GDLN centers. One of the earliest cases was China, where the World Bank and the State Council Leading Office for Western Region Development teamed up with the Internet2 affiliate China Education and Research Network (CERNET [6]) to establish a dozen distance learning centers [7] in the less developed regions of China. Recently, China Development Bank [8] agreed to link in its network of videoconferencing centers, as well, providing coverage across the country.
Similar things are happening elsewhere in East Asia and the Pacific (and in other Regions as well). National development learning networks are planned in Vietnam [9] and Mongolia and across the Pacific Islands. While much of the expansion is to universities, which plan to use the network to expand delivery of higher education, the widened coverage also provides a great opportunity for policymakers and development practitioners to share knowledge or otherwise carry out exchange. Indeed, during the GDLN Indonesia launch, ASEAN Secretary Dr. Surin Pitsuwan, who was connected from Manila, raised the idea of setting up an "ASEAN-GDLN", to be used for policy dialogue and other high-level consultations. But the opportunities aren't limited to high-level dialogue; the network can also facilitate experience sharing of a very practical nature. Last month, for example, transport planners in four cities in China (Wuhan, Chongqing, Beijing, and Shanghai) were connected by videoconference, together with counterparts at the GDLN Center in Manila, with officials from London's public transport authority to learn about how London has succeeded in improving air quality and reducing vehicular traffic delays through an innovative scheme of congestion charges.
And as low-cost connectivity options become increasingly available (via Skype [10], for example), the opportunities for this type of real-time exchange will become even more available. As a result, the challenge going forward will be less about how to get development practitioners and stakeholders around the world connected, and more about how to promote effective sharing of knowledge and experience to make a real difference in improving people's lives.
Let's hear from you. How are your organizations using ICTs to promote learning and knowledge sharing? What opportunities do you see for using Web 2.0 tools and applications in the development context?

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
My third Pluralsight course, Working with Temporal Data in SQL Server, is published. I am really proud on the second part of the course, where I discuss optimization of temporal queries. This was a nearly impossible task for decades. First solutions appeared only lately. I present all together six solutions (and one more that is not a solution), and I invented four of them. http://pluralsight.com/training/Courses/TableOfContents/working-with-temporal-data-sql-server

The great grey colossus of the massive Voortrekker Monument can be seen from all directions as you approach Pretoria. Built in honour of the Voortrekkers (Pioneers), who left the Cape Colony in their thousands between 1835 and 1854.
The Voortrekker Monument is the biggest monument in Africa, and is a nature reserve.
The Voortrekk Monument's dimentions are 40 meters wide, by 40 meters wide, by 40 meters high. A Cube.
The cornerstone was laid by Mrs. J.C. Muller (granddaughter of Andries Pretorius), Mrs. K.F. Ackerman (great granddaugther of Hendrik Potgieter), and Mrs. J.C. Preller (great granddaughter of Piet Retief) on 16 December 1938. Eleven years later the Monument was inaugurated on 16 December 1949.
Additional funds were obtained through donations, special stamp sales, commemorative envelopes, souvenirs and publications.
This image was taken on the north east side of the roof, 60 meters above the ground. Camera was mounted on a 4.5 meter high pole.
Full Virtual Tour of the Voortrekker Monument.
The city of Pretoria is the administrative capital of South Africa, and home to many historical buildings.

Engineering a Smart Grid For Energy's Future
By Kim Hart
Monday, April 27, 2009
Current Group, a Germantown-based technology firm, has taken over a nondescript house in Bethesda and turned it into a laboratory for smart-grid technology, the system the company believes will bring the nation's electricity grids into the digital age.
In the front yard stands a utility pole hooked up to a special transformer that connects the power lines to high-speed Internet. Hundreds of sensors attached to the lines monitor how power flows through the home. That information is then sent back to the utility company.
The process, Current says, lets a utility more efficiently manage the distribution of electricity by allowing two-way communication between consumers and energy suppliers via the broadband network on the power lines. Based on data they receive from hundreds of homes, utilities can monitor usage and adjust output and pricing in response to demand. Consumers can be rewarded with reduced rates by cutting back on consumption during peak periods. And computerized substations can talk to each other so overloaded circuits hand off electricity to underused ones, helping to prevent blackouts.
"Utility companies are deaf, dumb and blind to the problems on hundreds of thousands of lines in local distribution areas," said Jay Birnbaum, Current's senior vice president. "These are extremely old grids, and the technicians don't know how to measure what's going on."
Smart grid technology aims to change that.
Some utility companies, including Pepco in Maryland and the District, have launched initiatives to give consumers data about their energy consumption habits in an effort to lower energy bills. Smart-grid technology takes such programs further by automating electricity distribution, which proponents say would make grids more reliable and efficient.
By partnering with utilities, the company hopes to tap into $4.5 billion in stimulus grants intended to spur smart-grid development. When he announced the funding, President Obama pointed to a project in Boulder, Colo., as an example of a successful smart-grid experiment. Current is one of the companies working on the project.
The Boulder project also involves Arlington-based GridPoint, which provides software and information technology services to help run the smart grid, and Accenture, best known in the Washington area for government consulting work.
GridPoint's product lets utilities and consumers measure how energy is being used by appliances or air-conditioning systems in a home. Karl Lewis, GridPoint's chief strategy officer, said the online software will be even more useful when folks need to charge plug-in electric hybrid vehicles.
"A utility may give you an incentive to not plug your car in at 7 p.m. so you aren't using energy in a peak period," he said. "Instead, maybe you'll plug it in at 2 a.m. and, in return, you may pay lower rates.
"You can see how much your A/C system is costing every month, and how much you can save by turning your thermostat up two degrees," Lewis added.
Smart-grid projects require many components -- digital meters and software systems, for example -- allowing both smaller and larger firms to compete. Current started out aiming to provide broadband service over power lines, but shifted to providing the grid communications system when utilities' adoption of Internet via power lines was slower than expected. GridPoint initially produced appliances to store energy produced by solar panels.
Current's chief executive Tom Casey believes the technology will help utility companies better allocate electricity produced by renewable resources, such as solar panels or wind farms.
"A smart grid's system . . . can be paired up with the renewable resources so that when the renewable source is varying, the overall load can be varied as well," Casey told the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming in February. "This will reduce or eliminate the need for backup coal or gas-based power generation plants."
Venture Capital Slides
It's been a sobering quarter for venture capitalists. The amount of money they've been able to raise from limited partners and invest in new companies has dropped to the lowest levels in a decade.
So it wasn't surprising that the mood was less than cheerful at last week's quarterly Money Tree breakfast in Tysons Corner. Normally, the events are packed with investors who want to talk about their recent deals and entrepreneurs who want to snag the next one. This time, a lot of faces in the smaller-than-usual crowd weren't smiling.
"Ninety percent of the VCs in this area didn't make a single investment last quarter," said Bob Nelson, a serial entrepreneur who is chief executive of CrossMine, a directory of technology ventures in the Washington region, and has advised other area start-ups including iBelong, Clarabridge and PointAbout. "Not good."
Julia Spicer, executive director of the Mid-Atlantic Venture Association, which represents about 100 venture capital firms in the region, shared results of its quarterly member survey, which offered advice to entrepreneurs to weather the grim market.
Key takeaways: Build your company as long as possible without outside money, use less expensive off-shore resources, only spend money on top priorities.
And Spicer's personal favorite: "Cash is more important than air."
Kim Hart writes about the Washington technology scene every Monday.

Game 1 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score | Photo Gallery
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - In the first six innings of Saturday's first game with Columbia, Yale left eight runners on base. The Bulldogs, though, got the big hits when it mattered most. Meg Johnson's two-run single capped a three-run seventh-inning rally to lift Yale to a thrilling 5-4 victory over the Lions. The Bulldogs then completed the doubleheader sweep with a 2-0 victory in the second game. Deanna DiBernardi and Kayla Kuretich combined on the six-hit shutout.
Katie Yanagisawa started the winning rally in the first game by doubling. Lauren Huddleston followed with a single, and Katie Edwards pulled the Bulldogs within 4-3 with an RBI single, and when the ball was misplayed in left field, Huddleston advanced to third and Edwards moved up second. Megan Enyeart was then intentionally walked to load the bases, but the strategy backfired when Johnson singled to center, scoring Huddleston and pinch-runner Chelsey Locarno, who slid head-first into home with the winning run.
Rebecca Wojciak was the winning pitcher. She struck out seven and did not allow an earned run in seven innings. Yanagisawa, Huddleston and Virginia Waldrop each had two hits for the Bulldogs, who have won four in a row.
Wojciak allowed only one baserunner in the first two innings and had five strikeouts.
Yale (14-14, 3-3 Ivy) took a 1-0 lead in the second on Ashley Sloan's RBI single.
The Lions (11-19, 1-5 Ivy) answered in the third on Maggie Johnson's three-run double, but the Bulldogs got back within 3-2 when Enyeart homered to centerfield in the bottom of the third.
Columbia added an unearned run in the sixth before Yale rallied for the victory.
In the second game, Johnson and Mariclaire Rebman both had two hits for the Bulldogs.
Yale took a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Sloan led off with a single to center, stole second and moved to third on a wild pitch. After Yanagisawa walked, the Bulldogs attempted a double steal. Yanagisawa was thrown out at second, but Sloan scored.
Yale tacked on another run in the third when Waldrop reached on a two-base error and later scored on Huddleston's single.
DiBernardi cruised through the first three innings, but ran into some serious trouble in the fourth when the Lions first three batters all singled to load the bases. DiBernardi, though, retired the next three hitters to get out of the jam.
Kuretich came on in relief after Keli Leong singled leading off the fifth and retired the first six batters she faced. The only base runner she allowed came on a walk leading off the seventh.
The Bulldogs are back in action on Sunday, playing a doubleheader against Penn beginning at 12:30 p.m. at Dewitt Family Field.

British Airways soothes traveler impatience, relaxes phone rules
By Chuck Thompson, CNN • Published 27th June 2013
Just how impatient have air travelers become and how important is it for airlines to don the mink glove and gently stroke the backs of their necks every time they start getting fidgety?
For British Airways, apparently important enough to be the first European airline to relax restrictions on using cell phones and other electronic devices while planes are taxiing after landing.
The airline has announced that starting July 1, passengers will be able to text, make phone calls, check emails and play with other electronic devices as soon as arriving aircraft land and taxi off the runway.
For passengers in Europe, the move means no more having to wait until the aircraft arrives at the terminal before shrieking "Yeah, I'm at the airport, we just landed!" into their phones.
As anyone who flies knows, many passengers ignore the rules on cell phone use after arrival and use their electronics anyway.
But the new BA policy officially allows the practice. The policy will apply to BA flights around the world, not just the United Kingdom and Europe.
"Customers will no longer have the frustration of having to wait until their plane has arrived at the terminal building before being able to use their mobile phones and other hand held electronic devices," an empathetic airline spokesperson says.
"Now they'll have that extra time to phone ahead for that important business meeting, check their emails or make sure someone is there to meet them at the airport."
Still short of full phone privileges
The news will no doubt come as welcome relief to all those troublemakers who stand up and start rummaging through the overhead bin as soon as the wheels scrape tarmac.
This is still not allowed if you're in the air.
The new policy might represent a minor breakthrough in the ongoing "Why can't I use my phone on the plane?" global whinge-fest, but it still doesn't give passengers what they really want -- in-flight, in-your-face, full-on airborne phone privileges.
Debate continues
over electronic gadgets on planes.
In the United States, using personal electronic devices below 10,000 feet is banned on most airlines.
While many airlines now offer Wi-Fi access via portable electronic devices, cellular voice and data services on U.S. airlines fall under a federal government ban.
There hasn't been any conclusive proof that devices such as phones and e-readers are a danger.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has said it doesn't know of any aviation accidents linked to interference from personal electronic devices, and it released a report this week saying it would consider easing restrictions on the use of electronic devices in flights.
Its conclusions are due in September.
In 2012, Virgin Atlantic became the first British airline to permit calls on some flights.
In-flight phone service seems inevitable.
After that, if the airlines could just figure out a way to come around and clear away our empty food trays less than an hour after we're done eating, we might be able to relax.

EN FOTOS: Fiestas de Halloween en el súr de la Florida
By Phillip Valys and Micaela Hood Halloween gatherings have been terrorizing South Florida since September, but the shenanigans are just getting started. Between now and a certain hallowed holiday next Thursday, you'll have been chased by murderous orphans, danced with 70,000 revelers on Clematis Street, partied on South Beach for a cause and walked the ghostly Las Olas Riverfront (there's a haunted house there now). There are numerous cash-grabs available during the flood of casino costume contests his week, too, so, yes, now is the perfect occasion to bust out your zombie Justin Bieber. Another option: a 50 Shares of Grey guy who glues 50 gray paint samples on his T-shirt. (Don't expect to win if you dress in street clothes and declare yourself a nudist on strike.)

Skobo Fugee Collection
Skobo Fugee, (aka Skobo Jesuit Kusini, aka Skobo Fuu, aka Bosco ) was an emcee who lived in Mombasa and Dandora. Despite severe obstacles thruout his life, he managed to put together a catalogue of impressive music that pushed hip hop forward, and brought positive vibes to the people around him. He will be sorely missed, and fondly remembered by everyone who had the opportunity to meet him and his music. Pole sana
Also, I think it's important to say, the generations of economic war that mababis have waged on villagers, including people forced to grow up rough like Skobo, must be resisted by anyone who claims hip hop. This tragedy did not need to happen. Skobo was too young. We must do better.
Below is a collection of some of Skobo's music:

Innophos Holdings Inc (IPHS) Hits New 52-week Low During January 19 SessionEquities Staff Follow |
Innophos Holdings Inc (IPHS) established a new 52-week low yesterday, and could be a company to watch at the open. After opening at $24.08, Innophos Holdings Inc dropped to $22.83 for a new 52-week low. By the closing bell, the company's stock was at $22.97 a share for a loss of 4.25%.
Falling to a new 52-week low is never fun for company's shareholder, but, depending on who you ask, it can be either a buy or a sell signal. Someone bearish on the stock might see it reaching its lowest price in a year as a sign of growing downward momentum and make sure they sell their shares. Bulls, though, are more likely to see a new 52-week low as the stock hitting its low point and anticipate a bounce in the share price.
However one plays it, it's often a critical moment for any stock and should be noted by investors.
Innophos Holdings Inc saw 139,157 shares of its stock trade hands, that's out of 19.24 million shares outstand. The stock has an average daily volume of 189,889 shares. After hitting a new 52-week low, Innophos Holdings Inc enters the new trading day with a market cap of 441.9 million, a 50-day SMA of $29.71 and a 200-day SMA of $43.94
Innophos Holdings Inc now has a P/E ratio of 12.

Bats - Scary monsters or victims???
Little Brown Bat
Many people think that bats are scary, almost monsters. But, bats are the victims of many bad rumors. They've developed an undeserved reputation for sucking blood, carrying rabies and even flying
The body of a bat is a novelty, starting with the fact that it is the only flying mammal on earth. A bat's wings are actually modified arms. It has four fingers and a thumb on each arm, all within the wing. Each finger has a claw, which is never covered by the wing. Another lesser-known fact about the body structure is that the bat has a tail; it is attached to the inside of the wing.
Bats' diets range from nectar to birds to insects. Bats in Indiana are insectivorous. One of their best-known hunting methods is echolocation, which allows them to locate insect in flight and also KEEPS them from flying into trees, buildings and, of course people's hair! While this is a unique and useful skill, bats are not limited to that tactic. The vampire bat, found in South America, is known to tear skin open to lap up blood from the ankles of mammals, primarily farm animals. (None of Indiana's bats feed in this manner.)
Red Bat
Other species simply find food using their eyesight.
Their eating habits are beneficial to us in many ways. In more tropical areas they assist a great deal with pollination, transferring pollen from plant to plant so reproduction can take place. Because bats can eat up to 50 percent of their body weight in insects, they are responsible for keeping our pest population low. Their fecal material, called guano, is also helpful as a fertilizer and has also been used in gasohol, soaps, and antibiotics.
In short, there is more to these critters than what we give them credit for, and more to learn from them than we can currently imagine. They are amazing creatures with an important role in human society and the natural community.

Sometimes the parts come apart. That's the way things work in the mechanical world. The solution is to find a way to keep them working the way they're supposed to work.
Last summer when Sherill (who was, at that time, my fiancé) was ready to move from Michigan to Iowa, one of her past foster kids said he would help on her end of the move. He's a young guy of about 30 by the name of Jeremy. Jeremy would do the heavy lifting in Michigan, then get behind the wheel and drive the rented truck to Iowa. Sherill would drive her car full of critters and get it out here in the same trip. The best rental rate had them returning the truck to Rochester when we were all finished with the move.
The thing that sort of jumped out at me was that all of those moves and transfers sort of left us with multiple people from Michigan in Iowa. Quite frankly, I was looking for a net gain of only one.
Jeremy had a solution, though. There would probably be just enough room left in the back of the moving truck for him to throw his motorcycle in with him. He'd then ride it back to Michigan and skip the planes, trains and automobiles option.
I didn't ask questions. All I knew was that I didn't have to drive to Michigan, so I was satisfied.
The truck showed up and the move went much faster than I thought it would. Jeremy hit the hay and decided to hit the road the next day. The following morning, we found a note on the kitchen table. Jeremy had already headed out for Michigan. It's roughly a 10-hour drive, so he'd get back home at a pretty reasonable hour. We had printed out a Mapquest route for him the previous night to get him to Chicago on a relatively motorcycle-friendly path through Wisconsin.
Jeremy called later in the morning. He was in Wisconsin, but he had encountered a problem. His motorcycle had a flat tire. That's not a good problem to encounter at 65 mph! He managed to keep it upright and got himself to a farmer's place for some help. It was a crack in the rim that was leaking. Obvious solution there. They put some Fix-A-Flat in the tire and Jeremy went on his way, only mildly confident. He stopped a few miles later at a Wal-Mart and decided the quick solution wasn't working. He went to the next level of Red Green technology: J-B Weld! A generous helping of J-B Weld was applied to the rim. After waiting for it to set up a while, air was put in the tire. It seemed like it would hold, so he went on his way once again.
Sadly, J-B Weld didn't do the trick. The leak kept leaking, so Jeremy went back to Wal-Mart. If at first you don't succeed, try more J-B Weld! A rather generous amount was tried. It still didn't do the trick. He'd have to give in to his situation and make the call to Sherill. That call came in around 3:30 or so. We decided we would take Sherill's car and the big screamin' diesel to Wisconsin. Jeremy had to be to work the next morning, so he would take Sherill's car back home to Michigan. I would load the motorcycle in the truck and bring it back here, seeing as how there would be no place to get it fixed on a Sunday if it was a rim and not a tire issue.
We got to Wal-Mart around Dodgeville, Wisconsin, and found Jeremy. He had become well-versed on all of the hunting and fishing regulations in Wisconsin, because he'd spent a good share of the day reading all the literature the DNR had in the hunting and fishing section of Wal-Mart while he waited for multiple applications of J-B Weld to set up. We got the motorcycle loaded in the back of the truck and were ready to hit the road. That's when I walked around the front of the truck and saw a stream develop. It was a lovely shade of green. Not John Deere green, either. Nope, it was antifreeze green!
My big screamin' diesel had sprung a leak. Late on a Sunday. Far from home. Big surprise there.
Jeremy crawled underneath the truck and quickly found the leak in my radiator hose. We both went into guy mode at that point and went inside to the hardware section. We grabbed hose clamps, duct tape and a screwdriver. Then we went to the automotive section and got some antifreeze. The lady at the checkout counter seemed to know Jeremy quite well when we went through the line. Seems he'd gotten to know a lot of people in his few hours of living at Wal-Mart.
We got the equipment out to the truck. Jeremy crawled underneath and wrapped some duct tape around the leak. Then he took two of the hose clamps and put them onto each end of the duct tape section. The clamps were tightened and some antifreeze was added. Then I fired up the truck. The leaking had slowed, but it didn't disappear. I was starting to do some math and geography in my head to figure out how far we'd have to go, and on which route, to get us within reasonable distance of home where I could leave my disabled truck and get a ride from someone at headquarters. Sadly, this was a section of Wisconsin where I hadn't sold any hay and didn't really know any farmers. If this had been a couple hours in the other direction from home, we'd be chatting up a connection of mine somewhere around Iowa City or Cedar Rapids. But we were in the land of cheese-flavored beer and beer-flavored cheese, so we couldn't go the Rolodex route.
We decided to go with Guy Mode 2.0 instead. If two hose clamps and duct tape weren't doing the trick, why not add more of each? We bought another hose clamp and added some more duct tape to the leak point in the radiator hose. Then we put a hose clamp directly over the leak point and torqued it down as tight as it would go. More antifreeze was added. This time, the pavement stayed dry when I fired up the big screamin' diesel!
Red Green would be proud.
We made our way back to Cresco in the truck with the motorcycle in the back. Jeremy made his way back to Michigan with Sherill's car.
We stored Jeremy's motorcycle in my machine shed. Sherill didn't seem to think she wanted to drive it back for him. She had a few days off in early November, so I took her to the Amtrak station in La Crosse. She boarded a train and headed to Michigan to retrieve her car. The motorcycle would have to wait.
We got a call from Jeremy in March. He was planning to come out and pick up the motorcycle and get it home so it could be ready to ride when the weather permitted. He'd bring his minivan and put it in the back to haul home. To keep it interesting, he'd also bring his wife with him. Oh, and their eight-month-old son, too!
The van pulled into the ranch one afternoon. Everyone came inside and we visited quite a while before heading to get some Mabe's Pizza into the travelers. That's how things work in my world. There's almost always a pie of some variety involved.
Then we moved to the challenging portion of the day: Getting a Yamaha Virago to fit inside a Dodge minivan. Jeremy had taken the back row of seats out of the van before they came to Iowa. We popped the back door open and quickly discovered that the handlebars and mirrors made it impossible to just wheel the thing right inside like the box of a pickup. But there was another option. We slid the side door open and did some measuring. The bike would juuuuuust barely squeeze past the door frames and seats. It took some jockeying, but we managed to make it work. The unexpected bonus was that the track for the rear seats had absolutely perfect slots for attaching tie-down straps! My guess is at least one of the guys at Chrysler who designed the minivan was a farm kid. Who else would make sure there's a tie-down point? Someone who has experience with hay, that's who!
Jeremy & Co. then surprised us once again and said they were heading out for Michigan yet that night! That's right. A young married couple and their eight-month-old son were traveling five or six hundred miles in a minivan to load a motorcycle, then more or less turning around and heading at least part-way back the same day.
The motorcycle fit in so perfectly that it didn't even interfere with young Isaac's seating arrangement. It was still out of his reach, so they didn't have to worry about him reaching over and firing it up.
Of course, if he did try to move around at all, he'd probably be secured soundly in his car seat. I bet it would involve at least one, maybe two packages of J-B Weld.
