In the midst of this cooly district there is an open space, an acre or two in extent, densely shaded by a very ancient, and far-spreading banyan-tree, under the branches of which the cooly people hold their market. It would be impossible to imagine a scene more unlike any that I had ever beheld in all my travels in America or Europe. The people, their wares, their manner of trading, their baskets, trays, tables, their manner, voices, gestures, all were strange and outlandish, for the Hindus lose but little of their national characteristics in the New World. As I passed through the crowd the sellers saluted respectfully, bowing as they said, "Salaam, sahib;" then eagerly, but without clamor or violent gestures, besought me to purchase queer-looking eatables, utensils, ornaments, fabrics—in a word, all sorts of merchandise. There were venders of curry and curry-powder, purveyors of all kinds of food preserved in curry, curry to be taken away or to be eaten then and there—paper-packages, boxes, bottles of it, jars, pots, cups, bags, cocoanut-shells, full of curry—and everything, living or inanimate, in the market-place, was as distinctively East Indian as the curry itself, save and excepting a few Africans, Chinese, and Europeans, and their chattels and belongings.
"I say, old man, that pepper-pot isn't half bad. I went in for such a lot of it—regular blow-out, by Jove! Awfully decent chaps. One of 'em told me how to make one. Get a lot of peppers, cayenne, bird's-eye peppers, long, round, all kinds, green, red, yellow, such a jolly lot of 'em. Cut 'em all up. Makes my eyes water to think of it d'ye know!—I say, did you go in for it?" A pause, and inaudible remark by the "old man." "Then you put this mess in a stone pot. Then, by Jove! fellow didn't say—I forgot to ask if you cooked it —ask him on return trip—then you put in vinegar and catsup and spices, all that sort of thing—dash of bitters. No; that's swizzle. By Jove! I say, did you go in for swizzle?" A very long pause; audible snore by the "old man." "Then you take any blessed thing left over from dinner or breakfast, chop, leg of fowl, sausage, bacon (forget whether he said fish)—anything left of something too good to throw away or give to beggars, don't you know. Tomatoes, pickles, all that lot. Only fancy! Any time you feel peckish—there yon are. It's always going on, is pepper-pot; you never wash the blooming thing out; keeps for years. Decent old chappy that. Said it was good for dyspepsia and that sort o' thing; only trouble is, you eat such a lot of it."
To this formula I must needs add that casareep is a necessary and all-important ingredient of a right pepper-pot. Altogether, and under the peculiarly hospitable circumstances of his acquiring the knowledge how to concoct this West Indian olla podrida, my shipmate was not far out of the way. From his sketch of it, it will be seen that pepper-pot is a perennial free lunch, a perpetual zakooshka, a la Hiisse, a never-failing meal between meals; for, as my fellow-traveller said, it goes on forever, like the brook in the song, or a Chinese drama, and I can testify it is palatable. Moreover, if you are lined like a salamander you can eat such a lot of it, notwithstanding its blistering, peppery qualities, and in the day ye eat thereof ye shall not surely nor necessarily die.

Massive Job Losses
Wow. They just kept coming one after another. A number of Fortune 500 companies announced job layoffs today.
Caterpillar(CAT) announced that they will be cutting 20,000 jobs. Caterpillar, the largest manufacturer of construction equipment, has seen global demand for machine equipment fall off the map.
Home Depot(HD) is eliminating 8,000 more jobs and closing 125 stores. The housing market has not yet bottomed and sales are not improving at the nation's largest home retailer.
GM(GM) is laying off 2,000 people and cutting vehicle production amid reduced demand for its automobiles. It's a bad time to be an auto manufacturer.
Sprint Nextel(S) is cutting 14% of their employee work force by laying off 8,000 workers. Sprint continues to lose market share to Verizon and AT&T.
Pfizer(PFE) will be cutting over 19,000 jobs after the completion of its merger with Wyeth.
Starbucks(SBUX) may be cutting as many as 1,000 employees.

Every country is facing economical crisis except America.As a result of this crisis massive losses of job is intended to be happened. Companies needed to delete employees for them to gain much more money.But smaller employees will result to a poor production.
I'm in agreement with cutting executive salaries and all bonuses need to disappear. It's reality this is a recession. Maybe if we cut back on fat such as those, less employees need to be layed off. Only good thing that has come of these layoffs is that it's been reported that people calling out sick has decreased. Employees are afraid of losing their jobs so if they are not really sick, they are at work.
A lot of people are scared. Instead of being scared, there are many things you can do to put yourself in a nice situation such as: cutting expenses, saving money, paying off debt.
Now is definitely not the time to be job hopping unless you are in a company with impending bankruptcy.
Thanks for the post!
With all the layoffs, not only are more people unemployed but there are so few jobs available for young people (like recent grads)that it's truly a scary time to be new to the job market.
Ouch! I really rally like your blog, because I can relate in it. And I've experienced the feeling of loosing a job in the time that you really need one. Nice blog.
I am always searching for online resources that can help me. Thank you!
I needed your point of view. I have forwarded your website to quite a few good friends.

Shattuck's base salary of $1.3 million was unchanged from a year earlier. He received no cash incentive payment last year, compared with a $1.7 million payout in 2010. The compensation package, which the company reported Friday, includes additional payouts in stocks, options and the value of his pension.
Shattuck, who is now Exelon's executive chairman, also received stock valued at $6.4 million and options at $2.6 million.
Other compensation, which includes matching contributions and perks, was $110,677.
In 2010, Shattuck's total compensation was valued at $15.7 million.
During 2011 when the company announced its $7.9 billion sale to Exelon, Constellation lost $340.3 million, or $1.70 per share. The merger closed earlier this year.

Rustic Barn Pub Goes Country: After Countryfest Party
Traveling in to WGNA's Countryfest at the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds you may have noticed a bar in the shape of a barn. That little rustic joint is actually known as The Rustic Barn Pub!
Traveling in to WGNA's Countryfest at the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds you may have noticed a bar in the shape of a barn. That little rustic joint is actually known as The Rustic Barn Pub!
This past weekend was the 2014 Taste Of Country Music Festival at Hunter Mountain.
Every Wednesday we bring you back with a Musical Memory on WGNA's Country Cafe.
90s superstar John Michael Montgomery will spice up the set list on July 12 at WGNA's 21st annual Countryfest. From 1992-2004, the CMA's 1994 Horizon Award winner charted one Top 40 hit after another.
This list represents 10 of the most memorable John Mic
Scotty McCreery let some lucky fans get intimate with him during CMA Music Fest. The singer played a few songs (and one awesome cover) and answered fan questions while at the Sirius XM studio in Nashville. He even brought his parents along for the day!
Countryfest 2014 headliner Jake Owen invited a 6-year-old girl up on stage recently and asked her who her favorite singer is. She didn't say Jake. Yikes!
At least she's honest! She likes Jason Aldean better! Hahahaha!
If it's any consolation, Jake, I prefer you! And, I can't wait to see Jake at Countryfest in July!
Yes, folks, it's true! The Capital Region's favorite country party band is coming to Toyota Countryfest 2014 and with them they'll bring their latest party song, "Titty's Beer."
It's a song that you have to hear to believe! And, if you get your tickets now, you'll be able to hear it live! And, maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to buy a Titty's shirt!
This song really exists, here's the video proof
WGNA Countryfest Headliner Jake Owen showed his romantic side on stage the other night!
He changed his set list for a couple named Seth and Sierra at his concert last Thursday in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It started at
First of all I want to thank a couple of listeners for first bringing this story to my attention. Ben Ventura messaged me on Facebook Friday morning with it, and then later Jason Scultz posted it on our WGNA Facebook page
Jake Owen is done with his fully loaded 2013 Malibu 24 MXZ Wakesetter boat for one reason or another, and it's up for sale!
The description on the boat says...

Dan And Shay recently stopped by WGNA's Country Cafe!
I was thinking about trying to find some old video clips for throwback Thursday and I looked and looked at things from WGNA throughout the years and although it is only a year old I thought this video from Countryfest 2013 would be the most fun. I think it will be fun for everyone to look through the video and see if they can find themselves, or art least remember (if you can) what you were doing at that time.

With the rise of the Iron Age in feudal Japan, man and nature grow increasingly at odds. As mankind infringes more and more into the kingdom of the beasts, many of the elder animal gods begin to succumb to their rage, cursing themselves as they lash out at rural and urban settlements alike. When a young Ashitaka, hero of his village, is imparted with one of these curses after slaying a crazed god, he forces himself into exile to prevent further harm to his village. As he ventures out into the world, however, he discovers just how dire the straights have become - with man and beast ready to break into all out war, his curse becomes the least of his problems. As both sides teeter dangerously on the side of outright slaughter of one another, Ashitaka sets his own problems aside and, using his charisma and honor, seeks to quell the hatred before it gets beyond repair - but will he be in time or is he simply delaying the inevitable?

For me personally, there's but one single event that makes Mononoke Hime stand so firmly as a classic in the anime world. No, it's not Miyazaki's brilliant capturing of the eternal struggle between man and nature, nor is it the heroic telling of a young warrior destined to save the world through both boundless passion and vicious strength; hell, it's not even the... read more
Princess Mononoke is my favorite anime. I get this out of the way first so you know that this review is in no way meant to be any kind of objective. I heart this movie to an extent that even recognizing it has flaws is hard for me (pacing can be wonky? says you! convoluted story? take that back! too long? well … it isn't, actually, but some might say it is). Anyway, the point is, I love this anime. It's... read more

David Horne believes my idea of re-establishing Adam's Bridge, the connection between India and Sri Lanka that was submerged some 12,000 years ago, is full of holes (20 November 2004, p 38, and 11 December 2004, p 27). But he manages to find only one hole, which I mentioned, namely that you change the ecology if you convert sea floor into land surface. This is a rather obvious consequence of my idea of pushing up the sea bottom by injecting sulphuric acid into subsurface limestone.
So yes, the corals will end up on the sides of the newly created dam, where they were 12,000 years ago. The Earth, and particularly its surface, is a continuously evolving system, and nature has very effectively resisted the attempts of conservationists to turn it into a dead museum.

In 2013, the Solar Energy Industries Association says installations were up 41% nationwide, with North Carolina ranking third for installed solar capacity and Maryland 16th, but neighboring Virginia was far down the list at number 26.
Thirty states, including West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, have land-based wind farms, but Virginia has none.
Virginia is blessed with wind – in the mountains and along its shores, so you might expect this state to jump quickly into the business of generating electricity from turbines.
Likewise, there's plenty of sunshine, but Dominion Virginia Power's preferred plan for 2027 shows just four percent of our electricity coming from renewable sources. Appalachian Power will be at 9% by 2020, but most of that energy will come from existing hydro-electric dams.
Despite concerns about climate change, Virginia's largest electric utility still generates more than half of its electricity from fossil fuels, and by 2027 Dominion Power expects to get nearly 60% of its power from coal and gas.
The state's other electric utility, Appalachian Power, is also big on carbon-based fuel. By 2020, parent company AEP says 79% of its power will come from burning coal and gas.
Critics say Virginia lags behind neighboring states in the development of wind and solar power, in part because lawmakers are influenced by two monopolies – Dominion and Appalachian Power.
It's more profitable for them to stay with fossil fuels and nuclear power, and the state requires them to keep prices down, but supporters of renewable energy say lawmakers are coming around.

Modern Family
Sofia Vergara on Valentine's Day: Dines With Mystery Man, Not Her Boyfriend (PHOTO)
We envisioned the sexy Sofia Vergara (Gloria) of Modern Family spending Valentine's Day feeding chocolate covered strawberries to her boyfriend Nick Loeb, but it looks like we were sadly mistaken.
The funny TV star was spotted out and about with a mystery man, who was wearing a black leather jacket and smoking a cigarette (badass much?).
Though the two grabbed dinner together at Nobu in West Hollywood, it's safe to assume the fellow was just a friend and that Sofia and Nick are going strong.
Modern Family airs Wednesdays at 9 pm ET/PT on ABC.

Serena Williams Vows to Return to Wimbledon After Illness
July 2 (Bloomberg) -- Serena Williams promised to return to Wimbledon after having to retire from her second-round doubles match with sister Venus because of a virus.
Serena, the world's top-ranked woman in singles, is suffering from a viral illness, Wimbledon organizers said yesterday. She saw a doctor on court before the start of the match against Kristina Barrois of Germany and Switzerland's Stefanie Voegele.
The Williams sisters, who have each won five singles championships at the All England Club as well as five as doubles partners, trailed 3-0 after five double faults. Struggling with coordination and picking up the ball from the court, Serena served successive times into the net before hitting balls almost to the baseline.
"I am heartbroken I'm not able to continue in the tournament," Serena said in a written statement provided by organizers that thanked fans for their cheers and understanding. "I thought I could rally this morning, because I really wanted to compete, but this bug just got the best of me. I look forward to returning to Wimbledon next year."
Serena, 32, was ousted from the singles tournament in the third round on Saturday by France's Alize Cornet, meaning the No. 1 hasn't reached a Grand Slam quarterfinal all year after winning two of the majors in 2013. Venus, 34, also lost in the third round.
"I don't know what's going on, I haven't seen her in the last two days," Patrick Mouratoglou, Serena's coach, said in an interview.
Venus Return
Venus Williams echoed her sister's resolve.
"I'm really proud of her for trying because we just love playing doubles together," she said in the statement. "We are looking forward to coming back to Wimbledon next year."
Both sisters have had health problems in the past. After winning Wimbledon in 2010, Serena was off the tour for almost a year after she hurt her foot by walking on glass. She needed two operations to repair tendons and then had treatment on blood clots on her lungs in February 2011, which she said later could have been "life-threatening" and "career-ending."
During the 2011 U.S. Open, Venus said she had been diagnosed with the energy-sapping Sjogren's syndrome.
Serena's serve, which reached 117 miles per hour earlier in the tournament, has been called "the best shot in tennis" by 18-time major champion Chris Evert.

Are You a Cockring-Wear Guy?
Keep These Stud-Wise Things in Mind
Unlike a glass penis ring, a horseshoe cock ring is a horseshoe-shaped metal fitting worn according to the different configurations of the male genitalia. Like other penis rings and clamping devices, this self-applied male enhancement method works according to constriction, prolonging the bliss through bigger, fuller erections and heightened speed, volume, and intensity of semen flow. But what do you think is the best cockring to use?
Glass Penis Ring: Set the Sex on Fire
There's a sheer volume to the ring that should be expected, but a glass penis ring allows you to put it on easily. Pyrex, a smooth material, is used to create this clamping device. Hold the ring in place and work toward getting a rock-hard erection. Afterwards, you can keep it on for the duration of your love session and experience a revitalizing constriction in your alpha male package.
Horseshoe Cock Ring: Metal Happiness Detector
Horseshoe cockring use offers a number of benefits. For starters, you are generally able to become erect quickly. Yours is a blood-tight erection that reaches your body's maximum erection and hardness potential. These supercharged erections are what sufferers of erectile dysfunction miss out on, and they are so bent on achieving again those sexual highs during intercourse.
Why use a cockring? Erections, for one, are expected to be "put on" for longer period of time, with, without, or with minimal sexual stimulation after the onset of the erection. If you are often faced with the pressures work, family, and daily life and you think that this is getting in the way of your bedroom performance, top-quality cockrings just might be the encouragement you need.
Cock rings keep you hard even after ejaculation. This is a tall order, because you have to reduce post-ejaculatory sensitivity to stay on top of your game. The benefit extends to gay partners in bed, because men who love it in the "bottom" will continue to enjoy rock-hard quality even with his role in the whole sexual narrative. The men on "top" will also be sufficiently prepared for anal intercourse – same perks apply to straight men who love the usual position in bed.
Compared to boner pills (Viagra aggression alert!) and other male enhancement product, cockring use also does away from painful and unnecessary side effects and drug interaction issues. These penis rings are applied mechanically and fitted according to individual penile size, so the accuracy and quality of work offered accounts for better results. You don't have to worry at all about adverse reactions if you follow cock ring instructions closely.
Supercharge your sex life without neglecting safety and comfort – this is the most exciting thing ever to happen in the male enhancement scene, and cock rings show a lot of promise in this area.

vaping for weight loss? adventures in drug-of-choice substitutes
I love coffee. This is well documented. Unfortunately for me, coffee is loving me less and less as the years go by. The caffeine gives me headaches and makes my heart race. The sugar makes my skin break out. The cream makes my nose run. I've ended up with a decaf, stevia sweetened, soy creamer thing that is only coffee-ish. Lately the caffeine even in the decaf is giving me problems. Soon I will be sitting there with my mug full of air, the mug itself the only thing left of my once beloved drug of choice.
There is a church near where I live—heck, my yurt in smack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt, there are at least twelve churches within a few miles of my property—that has a tall steeple with bells clearly visible inside and a song that goes off every quarter hour. But one day I was looking up when the bells went off…and the bells were not moving. Then I noticed the small speaker situated in the corner of the bell-tower. The bell songs were recordings! These were fake bells! The church people wanted the experience of a bell-tower, without the muss and inconvenience of actual bells…so they concocted a work around. People are so creative like that. It seemed so…gross somehow.
Because it's fake, right? Who wants to hear fake bells? Who wants to have a "bell-like experience"? Isn't this like vinyl siding made to look like wood? Isn't this astro-turf we're talking about? Isn't this like my decaf, no-sugar, no cream cappuccino? Am I drinking fake coffee? How do I feel about this?
Okay. In my novel-in-progress, I have a character who used to be a bit of drug dealer, causing me to do some fascinating research during which I stumbled upon the current explosion of vaping, or the use of an electronic device (a PV, or Personal Vaporizer) to vaporize and breathe in nicotine and flavoring, as a substitution for smoking. (This was a side-line of my drug dealer research, as vaping is about nicotine, not marijuana. Although there IS also vaporizing cannabis wax and hash oil using a different sorts of specialized vaporizers. FYI.)
Most often people come to nicotine vaping from cigarette smoking, because vaping is a good delivery device for nicotine, lacking as it does all the cancer-causing components of smoking such as the burning as well as the additives. Smokers tend to find vaping via the cig-a-like devices and ejuice (the flavor/nicotine fluid that gets vaporized in these things) that tastes like tobacco. Then, when they desire more performance (maybe increased flavor, or longer battery life, or more vapor, or longer time between refills of ejuice) they might move away from cigarette-like contraptions and toward not-cigarette-like-at-all devices and what they can deliver. They might also discover that they prefer ejuice that tastes like cherries or a cappuccino or cupcakes, rather than tobacco. They might end up sucking their water vapor out of a thing that looks like a lightsaber and tastes like strawberry cheesecake.
In other words, the further you go on the vaping spectrum, the less vaping has anything at all to do with smoking.
Like my coffee with no caffeine, no sugar, and no dairy?
I caught up with a friend of mine recently who, coincidental to my late-night internet research, has become a vaper. She used to be a smoker, but she quit. She looked awesome, had lost fifty pounds, her skin was clear, she was exercising for the first time in years (because she can get a breath!). She attributed it all to vaping, which allowed her to give up her pack a day habit in exchange for strawberry and chocolate flavored vegetable glycerine and a set up that looked kind of like a steampunk device screwed onto a cell-phone sized brick of a battery painted with pink skulls and adorned with Swarovski crystals. This was an "ecig" the way a Tesla is like a Ford model-T.
I tried it. It reminded me of those candy cigarettes they had when I was kid (do they still have them?) that you could breath through to emit sugar "smoke" while you pretended to inhale carcinogenic toxins and be cool on the playground. Oh how we loved those when I was a kid! After you'd blown all the "smoke" out, you ate the tube and got a sugar high. Sugar is awesome. My friend had a couple of tanks (meaning I got to try a couple of juices) that she screwed into her battery, allowing me to take a few puffs. VapeDudes No-Bake Cake. Virgin Vapes Death by Chocolate. Suicide Bunny's Mother's Milk, which tastes sort of like strawberries and cream. She likes the sweet ones, obviously.
Most of what the juice she had contained nicotine—but she confessed that she has been buying some ejuice with zero nicotine, because she likes the flavors but doesn't want that much nic per day. Thus the 50 pounds lost! She vapes the ghost of her favorite deserts instead of eating them! Which leaves exactly ZERO of the original smoking habit intact. Like my coffee-less coffee?
Considering the diseases that come with being 50 pounds overweight, even if you ignore the SMOKING that she isn't doing any more, she's doing world's better than she was a year ago when I last saw her…whatever dangers there might be to vaping.
And I can't find any dangers. Seriously. While I can find plenty of media articles on the alleged "dangers of vaping," I can't find any actual studies that show anything of the sort. And I CAN find studies that say they have found no risks at all. See here for a collection of reputable studies on the non-hazards (none so far detected anyway) of vaping. See here for thoughtful rebuttals with references to the most popular vaping myths.
I mean really, what the heck is all the fuss about right now what with all the bans you hear about and the whole FDA regulation shite that will put the whole DIY industry of ex-smoking pro-vaping converts out of business and hand it all over to the big tobacco companies…who have already demonstrated how much they value their customers health. It's got to be about money, because it sure isn't about the science. Unbelievable! The more I scratch the surface, the more disgust I am with the whole politicized hyperbole around this issue.
/end Sidebar.
When I mentioned to my friend that vaping seemed like my coffee-without-coffee, like "smoking without the smoking," she said, "Oh no. Vaping is so much better than smoking. No smelling bad. No coughing. No dying. Plus you get all these terrific flavors." Vaping isn't a shadow of the real thing, at least not for my friend. It's better. Vaping is the smoking killer. (Which is probably why Big Tobacco is happy about the new regs.)
So, maybe it isn't "fake." Maybe it's itself. It's just different. We want our self-soothing habits and substances without the annoying inconvenience and side-effects that usually come with them, and we're creative, so we keep coming up with new solutions to our addictions….and sometimes we come up with something better.
GODDANGIT. I want something like for coffee!! Something that offers all the pleasure my previous addiction offered, but is even better. Is it out there? Even the caffeine in chocolate is giving me trouble—which is simply terrifying. [me curled into a ball and rolling on the floor] No. No no no no….I will not be giving up chocolate, I can tell you that RIGHT NOW.
Wait. You can vape chocolate, can't you?

louise says:
Have you tried Matcha green tea? I'll let you do the googling as you are back in the gentle armed flow of the internet 😉 I've been trying it out and it's Good. I also get a chlorophyll after taste which is not unpleasant at all. Green air breath. It's a whole load better than coffee breath.
I did a bit of vaping back in the day, it's also alright but I don't have the commitment for another charger based item in my life. But as an ex smoker I totally get it. I actually liked nick o teen flavour. I am bad. I really enjoy your blog posts Maya. Nice one.
maya says:
Hi Louise! Thanks for that. I actually just ordered some super spiffy green tea–matcha–with the same thought, that maybe maybe it could be a kinder, gentler coffee. I love matcha flavored things, latte, ice cream, maybe I'll like it straight up. I like you're bit about another charger based item being too much committment, haha! I know the feeling, it's USP spagetti around here at night with all our ipads, ipods, macbooks, iphones….
NBB says:
I quit smoking from using an e-cigarette (Blu)… just kind of tapered off after a few months and now it's not a disgusting problem in my life. The hysteria over this new "technology" drives me insane. There are all these ridiculous articles coming out in mainstream media that are obviously paid for by someone or something interested in keeping the tobacco industry going. My city council just voted in a limitation on the number of vapor shops licenses that can be issued because so many stores were popping up. Anyway, I like the imagery in "she vapes the ghost of her favorite desserts"!
maya says:
Hey, cool, another ex-smoking vaper! Do you still vape? I've seen the Blu's around, so slick. It does seem hysterical. I have an aquaintance, a mom, who discovered her teen kid vaping and freaked out. Turns out it was zero nic flavors, I dunno, it seems like an overreaction to me. There's no drugs in the kid's drugs, why the panic?
Anyway, that strawberry and custard Mother's Milk flavor was the bomb. I kind want some more….
Rob says:
I like your blog Maya. Stumbled upon it while doing a search for weight loss additives for e juices. Not sure if there is such a thing, barring illegal substances. I successfully stopped smoking cigarettes way before the vaping scene and I just picked up a vaporizer with a 0 nicotine e juice just for kicks. I probably represent a very small group of people who had no smoking vices and began vaping…i don't know. Call me a fool but I kind of like it! There's this store by my house with like almost 200 flavors to choose from!
Jackie says:
I don't smoke. My boyfriend is a heavy cigar smoker though. The cigar shop is also a Vape "Bar". About a year ago they got a new flavor ,Swedish fish. Yup it tasted just like it. I was tempted to buy a vape set up just to taste this again. Instead for about a week I ate nothing but real gummy Swedish fish. So not healthy! Yesterday I sat at the 'bar' and tried about 30 flavors of the juices. Some I liked. Some I wanted to tear my tongue out of my head. I did however decide that I would be purchasing a vaping set up with my next paycheck. I will also be buying 'Hobbs blood' to put in it. Again I don't even smoke but if inhaling some 0mg vapor will stop me from eating bags and bags of candy, which is my weakness, then what's the big deal?
maya says:
Nice to meet you, Jackie. I had to google Swedish Fish because I was pretty sure you weren't talking about something in from the ocean (because that would be gross). Yeah, right? Vape the ghosts of your favorite desserts!
Robert says:
I was never a smoker (tried a cigarette once around age 40, tried pot a few times), but now I'm vaping for weight loss. I started with no nicotine, but slowly stepped up in nicotine concentration. Now that I've hit 18 mg/ml (although I cut it w some non-nic that lowers the conc. sl, prob. still above 1.7%), it's started to work. I've lost 8 lbs. in 6 weeks, steadily, w/o feeling deprived, which is significant for me. If this continues another 6 weeks, I'll know it wasn't a fluke.
maya says:
Wait, you're using the nic as a weight-loss thing? I was thinking more the oral habit and the flavors were the ticket. Not sure I'd want to cultivate a nic habit. On the other hand, which is worse, healthwise, a bit of nicotine or 20 extra pounds? Probably the weight in the long run, as long as there is no SMOKE. Don't know though. I'd love to hear your six week report.

Monday was a beautiful day in Boston. Perfect weather for running, it was clear and chilly, with almost no wind; runner friends had converged on Boston from all over the planet; the crowds cheering on the runners were fantastic; the race organizers and volunteers are the best, and my daughter and her friends are having a great college experience across the river in Cambridge — and we all have a lot of fun when we get together. These are the things that really matter, and they are the things that make all of our community events, whether it's the local 5K or a big city marathon, so special. And Boston is the best.
I was through the finish area safely ahead of the events, but one friend in our running group was close enough to hear the noise and feel the air move, and another was guiding a disabled runner and they were still on the course, and they had to work their way through the chaos to find their families.
Word in the runner community is that Boston 2014 is going to be huge. Which makes perfect sense; the running community, Boston and our society are strong and we are looking to the future with confidence. Everyone who is fast enough to qualify wants to be there to support Boston and our community. Runners are even going to come out of retirement to re-qualify, just to give their support. I will be proud to be there.
Of course I am not from Boston. But here are two articles that I appreciated from Boston-native writers.

Doctor's are warning teenagers about a new condition involving a popular social media website.
The condition is called Facebook Depression and if students aren't careful, spending time on Facebook could lead could lead to obsession.
Seeing tagged photos, status updates and events can cause users to feel incomplete.
Elon isn't immune from Facebook Depression. First- year student, Diane Bui, said she often felt lonely after seeing her friend's have fun without her.
"I was obsessed with knowing what was happening at all times," said Bui.
Bui said the effects of online depression hurt more than depression via face-to-face encounters.
"Personally, it hurts more," Bui said. "But I feel like to everybody else, they don't really notice it."
Psychology professor, Maurice Levesque, said the rise in social media is adding to issues of depression and should be taken seriously.
"I think it's to some extent easier to the bullies in that environment," Levesque said. "They get to maintain some distance and almost some sort of removal from the person they are bullying because it is in some sort of online environment."
The signs of Facebook Depression are similar to the signs of regular depression. They include feeling extremely sad, a loss of motivation and feeling worthless or guilty.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Delmon Young doubled home the go-ahead run in the 12th inning after New York's Raul Ibanez hit another stunning game-tying home run during a four-run rally in the ninth, and the Detroit Tigers outlasted the Yankees 6-4 Saturday night in an AL championship series opener in which Derek Jeter was helped off the field with what appeared to be a serious leg injury. Jeter rolled over his knee when he dove in an attempt to glove Jhonny Peralta's grounder up the middle in the 12th. Unable to move, he flipped the ball toward the mound and his leg was dangling as he was assisted off by manager Joe Girardi and trainer Steve Donahue. Detroit was coasting to a 4-0 win before the Yankees rocked Tigers closer Jose Valverde in the ninth.

Questions for a mid-ride water-submerged wet-sump-bike restart process
After talking to some other riders about a crazy wet off-road ride I went on ... alone (and I'll never do that again without friends, extra tools and tow-straps), it hit me that I've seen quite a few videos on this site of guys who lost their dirt bikes into deep water.
I'm wondering if I even would have any options after a running wet-sump bike (like my DR650) would go down into a water hole?
Sure, pull the plug and get the water out of the cylinder... but as far as the crank-case, or even the carb... is there even an option if the rider(s) aren't carrying about two quarts of sealed-up motor oil to replace the fallen-bike's crankcase's oil?
Start it and just hope? It doesn't seem plausible if there is water in the crankcase. Don't ride a dual-sport where serious water crossings exist?
Thanks for any input. The J.W. Corbett Wildlife management area is calling me back, but holy hell is there water there... ( https://maps.google.com/maps?q=j+w+c...t&z=13&layer=t )

Two weeks into owning my brand new right off the show room floor XT350 I rode it into 6' of water. That was my only four stroke completely submerged bike
I didn't sweat the oil for the ride home. It was a little milky by the time I got home. But not as bad as I had expected considering how long and how deep the bike was under. I was more worried that I had bent the rod than about water in the oil. But once at home I immediately changed it, ran the bike up to running temperature and changed it. Then I got it temperature and changed it again once more just to be sure. I had also to drain the carb float bowl to start it cold for the rest of that tank of gas.
But otherwise the bike had no submarine realted issues for the next 17 years I had it. If you are riding alone I would be more worried about losing the bike in mud than water. I had a friend sink one to the tank in goo and have to walk out for help. The bike was in flowing water and had to be recovered with a 4x4. That was a mess. After it sat there buried in mud with silty water flowing around it for so long it took him a long time to get all the mud and silt out of the engine, wheel bearings, suspension, etc.

I once dropped an XR6 in deep water and couldn't kill it before it sucked water through the airbox. Got the water out of the cylinder but no way would it start and when I got it home and pulled the clutch cover the crankcase was full of chalk-coloured water mixed with the oil. So I swapped it (with disclosure) for a KMX200. The new owner told me he just drained it, filled, drained and filled several times and then rode it...
The one time I stalled my XL 185 S in a pond, it sucked water into the crankcase through the breather pipe (which had come loose) as the motor cooled. I rode it all day and, on later inspection, found that the new rattle was the cam running in a now-oversized bore in the head. No other damage. I got a local machinist to fit a phosphor bronze bushing to the head, fitted a new cam, emptied the centrifugal oil filter, fixed the breather pipe and the bike was better than before.
I guess plain bearings are the biggest losers provided you don't bend the rod.

Thanks guys, this is good stuff if only even just to learn.
At one point, stuck between deep and deeper water holes, I was considering waiting a day to see if further lack of rain would make the waters lower (lol, desperation), or facing the very real possibility that I was going to leave the bike in a hole somewhere. Maybe you guys didn't see it, but this picture was the second-deepest one... the deepest one was much less of a distance across, but holy hell...
But this thread and question was for even stuff like this hole as if I had slipped up and dropped the bike to a side... I imagine it would have been just about as bad as leaving the bike upright in that last water hole.
Taken right after crossing it (I'm right over my exit tracks), I turned around and found a rock to temporarily prop up the kickstand from sinking as fast into the wet sand.

That looks a lot like what I lost the XT350 into. It was a nice wet but hard packed sugar sand road in the SC Sea Islands with a big water hole across it. Unfortunately there was also a 6' deep ditch in the middle of the water hole. My buddy crossed the ditch over the flooded culvert pipe that I missed. Big surprise wheelying through water hazard and literally having to swim.
BTW, that looks way too much like salt or brackish water for my tastes. I hated riding through salt water and mud.

A bit of water in the sump doesn't hurt but a lot can cause problems.
If in doubt crack the plug on the cool motor and drain the water.
Replace the plug (quickly) when the oil starts coming out.
Cool motor lets you hold the plug in your hand and gives the oil a chance to float on the water.
My bike is slow but the earth is patient.

Any recommendations on how long to let a bike sit to get the best oil/water separation? I guess just to totally cooled down sounds as good as anything.

I once drowned an XR250 in a pond. Completely snuffed it out. Dragged it out (my friends stood on the band and laughed for encouragement), pulled the plug and flipped the bike over. No problems.
When alone I do avoid really long crossings like the one in your picture. That said, if you hit something like that which is about 100 or so feet across at a really high rate of speed, you'll hydroplane across. It's a fun trick, but not for the faint of heart and not without trying it on a water hole with fewer consequences.

I did this on my new, less the 2K miles Wee Strom. Hydro-locked and wouldn't turn over. I didn't know why so I pushed it out of the creek and up the road to a neighbor's farm. I tried to bump start it on a hill, but the rear tire would just skid when I dumped the clutch.
Called my wife, who came to pick me up in the truck. I drained the cylinders and crank case, as described above and towel dried the air box as well as anything else I could find wet. Let it stand over night after soaking the cylinders with WD40. Put it all back together and cranked it over. It took about 1 minute to fire and a few minutes to smooth out, but it worked. I changed the oil another two times after running it up to full heat.
I now have almost 10K on this bike it's running great. My wife has made me promise not to take the "Turtle" swimming any more.

It was about 35 degrees and about
4 pm. I had my full aerostitch on (its an old 2-piece zip-together,
but still quite serviceable), so I was nice and toasty. It had been a
good ride, which was good because the last time I wore the 'stitch I
think I broke one or both feet. It was nice to know there wasn't any
bad juju lingering in the gore-tex.
I wandered through some adjoining woods, no trail but fairly open, and
found a small valley, about 15 feet deep, with a little stream running
through the bottom, where the valley was about 50' wide.
There were qwaaad tracks, so I could tell things were fairly firm and
rode in to try out the hill. Rode down, crossed the stream where the
tracks were, turned around, went to go back up the hill. Got bounced a
little in the stream and lost all my momentum, so I turned around and
re-crossed the stream about 2 feet down from the tracks.
Eased the front wheel in (the stream was about 6"-1' deep where I had
crossed previously) and the front end went down. And down. And down.
BIKE, so I bailed and didn't ride it all the way in to see how deep it
was. Well, it was about 3-1/2 or 4 feet deep, I was standing there,
bike completely submerged and invisible, its 30-fricken-something
degrees, and its getting dark. The little oil-and-gas rainbows on the
stream were pretty to watch, though.
Muscled the bike out (much easier to lift in the water!), flipped it
over several times to get it out of the hole and onto the bank, got it
on the kickstand.
Side panel off the airbox- cut to that scene in risky business when
the door to the porsche is opened and all the water comes out. Ditto
for removing the air filter. Try cranking it- yep, its water-locked.
I got the air scoop off the left side of the tank, got the plug out,
cranked the water out. Waited 30 secs. Cranked out more water.
Repeated about 15 times until it seemed all the *excess* water was
pumped out of the crancase and the exhaust system. Got the plug back
in. Its getting dark. Turned the fuel on, drained the carb until
something that smelled like gas came out. Cranked it over and waited
for an encouraging sign. And cranked. And waited. Damn, I'm screwed.
Thought for a minute, and whanged myself upside the head- forgot the
plug cap. Dumbass!
Lots more cranking, it started to spit, then it started to run, and
the water was coming out the exhaust pipe like a hose, then like a
steam pipe. Got it turned around in the mud, got across the stream for
some runup, crossed again and got up the hill. Went back for the gear
and tools, by this time it was 5:30, dark, and below freezing (trusty
bank thermometers- at least some things don't change). On the way
home, my feet and my hands were the only things cold- nothing quite as
amazing as an aerostitch, but now I wonder even more- am I going to
have a little adventure everytime I wear it?
The rest of the stream was shallow, there must have been a little
sand-pocket right in this spot that just got scrubbed away. There was
even a little turbulence on the surface making it look like there were
some rocks just below the surface.
I changed the oil about 4 times until it didn't look like a mocha-ccino
, and fired a fair amount
of WD40 into the airbox (sans filter) while it was running to get rid
of all the white goo. Hopefully anthing else that got wet can wait
until the winter teardown-and-grease, and will tolerate a few more
rides between now and then.
That was 2003 with about 2-3000 miles on the bike, 8k or so on it now, no ill effects from the submergence or riding 8 miles with coffee for oil that I can tell.

My experience recently on a 2t. Same procedure for a 4t, more or less. I dropped the vanilla milk shake out the gearbox when I got home.

Just drowned my G650GS (Dry sump) and rode the 40 miles home. It took 4 complete oil changes with filter to get the water out and turn what was coming out of the bike Into oil again
Anyway, I got lucky the engine did not hydrolock on me. Battery started bikes in situations like this make me worried. After the water seeped down to the crank enough that I could actually start it, I had water coming out of the exhaust as well. The worst part was having to cross the same spot on the way out of there - did not dump it that time, but had exhaust submerged. trailside options were virtually none, as I did not have 2.3 liters of oil, multiple tools, and a dry filter on hand. next time I go there, I'll take my KLR250.

I keep waiting for the inmate that dropped his Elefant in the creek on a Shenandoah 500 ride to post up. If an Italian motorcycle can go completely under and still be ridden back to camp then you know Japanese bikes can handle it.

Smarter Car RentingHere are car rental tips from the road trip-seasoned editors of RoadsideAmerica.com:
• Many States, One Car:If renting a car for a longer road trip, check with the car rental companies in Rogers, Arkansas to see if they have policies about crossing state lines that affect the final rate you pay. May be no effect, but don't assume you can crisscross the globe with unlimited mileage impunity. There may be a GPS tracker in the car!

Prior scratches, dents, and other vehicle damage can cause extra headaches and costs if not noted before you leave the rental car lot.

This will resolve any questions that could arise when you return. And avoid meteor showers.
• Book your reservation in advance.Rates can vary drastically, even for the same rental car in Rogers Arkansas. By booking your car early, you can avoid last minute rate increases. It can also help assure your desired vehicle-type will be available at high demand car rental locations.

A window on contemporary multidisciplinary creation
An interdisciplinary meeting dedicated to experimental music and avant-garde artistic projects now in its 7th year, the festival is possible thanks to the collaboration between Auditorio de Tenerife, Colectivo Drone and Lagenda. This year's programme adheres to the 'Do-it-yourself' theme, focusing on self-organisation for individuals and groups, and the need for adaptation to constantly changing creative structures imposed by modern society. As well as performances, Próximos has been instrumental in popularising in the Canaries state-of-the-art audio-visual creation tools, such as vvvv, Blender and Circuit-bending, home-made electronic instruments and promoting alternative operating systems similar to Ubuntu and Linux. The 2012 programme of activities and artists includes German musician Alva Noto, one of the premier exponents of experimental electronic music, and the Chicago band, Tortoise, who will be making their first appearance in Tenerife, along with some of the Canaries' most interesting indie bands.

At the eastern end of the main thoroughfare, this charming Victorian-style inn has an elaborately painted facade and intricately carved woodwork in every interior niche. Guest rooms are folksy and atmospheric, but also include modern details like lighted closets and espresso machines. The places to see and be seen are the hotel's bar and upscale restaurant. Offerings at the elegant establishment might include lobster bisque or lamb in an olive crust. A more economic way of scoping the scene is to sip a coffee on the sidewalk terrace.

While enthusiasts can comprehend the fact that the camshaft is responsible for opening and closing the intake and exhaust valves on an LS motor, relating these events to crank position, engine displacement, or even operating speed is somewhat more difficult. The difficulty is only compounded when you add things like forced induction to the mix. From an anatomical standpoint, the camshaft can be likened to the brain, as the cam profile determines how effectively (when and where) breathing takes place. Camshafts are one of the major determining components of the effective operating range of the motor. Of course, the cam timing must be combined with the proper intake manifold, head flow, and primary length on the exhaust for optimum operation over a given rpm range, but the right cam all but determines the character, or personality, of the motor. Stock or ultra-mild aftermarket cams will provide a dead-smooth idle while more radical grinds can transform that mild-mannered motor into one seriously radical ride. Unfortunately, that radical ride route often includes ill-tempered, cantankerous behavior until the motor comes on the cam, but such is the price for all that high-rpm heaven. As luck would have it, modern cam technology has come a long way since the introduction of the original small-block Chevy. Technology has provided not only a much more efficient small-block in the form of the new LS family, but it has also allowed us to produce impressive power, driveabiliy, and even fuel mileage all in one package.
Many LS1/LS2 and LS3 enthusiasts at least understand the basics of cam timing. They realize that so-called "Saturday-Night Special" grinds are much wilder and potentially more powerful than the production cam profiles. The problem arises when deciding to choose between these two extremes, especially for a daily driver. The temptation is certainly there to go "BIG" on the cam profile, after all, isn't bigger always better? The problem with going big is twofold. The first problem is that the cam profile must be selected not just for bragging rights at the drive-in (or coffee house), but rather to work with your existing components. Adding the right cam to your otherwise stock motor can result in impressive power gains. Adding wild cam timing to your otherwise stock motor will likely result in a drop in power throughout most of the rev range and can actually decrease peak power since the cam was designed to run effectively at 7,500 rpm and the rest of your stock components (intake runner length, head, and stock valvesprings) sign off at just 6,000 rpm (or less). As a general rule, the closer to stock the remainder of the components, the milder the cam profiles that should be chosen. This means leave those weekend-warrior cams to the drag racers and stick with mild but effective profiles that will offer power gains not just at high rpm, but through the entire rev range. After all, what good is it to add 25 hp at the power peak only to loose 35 lb-ft down at 3,000 rpm? Think for a moment about where (what rpm) you spend most of your time driving and choose a cam accordingly!
