The DAYC can be used to identify children from birth through 5-11 with possible delays in the areas of cognition, communication, social-emotional development, physical development, and adaptive behavior. The measure includes five subtests that you can administer separately or as a comprehensive battery in about 10 to 20 minutes. Each of the five domains this test measures reflects an area mandated for assessment and intervention in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act 2004 (IDEA 2004). How to Use the Asssessment The DAYC format allows you to obtain information about a child's abilities through observation, interview of caregivers, and direct assessment. The DAYC may also be used in arena assessment so that each discipline can use the evaluation tool independently. Using the DAYC, clinicians will be able to obtain standard scores, percentile scores, and age equivalents. The test also provides a General Development Quotient (GDQ) if all five subtests are completed, but all subtests can be used independently for each domain.

Lululemon murder trial: Employee at neighboring store heard Murray's call for help
Updated: October 28, 2011 - 06:13 am
A police crime-scene investigator took the stand Thursday afternoon in the trial of a woman charged with killing a co-worker at a yoga clothing shop in Bethesda.
The investigator explained the collected evidence, pointing to the large amount of blood found across the store. Investigators found blood anywhere from near the cash registers to the kitchen and bathrooms to the stock room and hallways.
Earlier in the day, jurors had seen a recorded police interview with the accused Brittany Norwood. At the start of her first statement to a police detective, Norwood asks, "can you tell me how my friend is doing?"
Prosecutors allege Norwood knew at this time that Jayna Murray was dead. Her lawyer admitted Norwood killed Murray on March 11 in the Bethesda Lululemon store. But when Norwood was questioned that morning, Detective Deana Mackie told the jury she viewed Norwood as a victim.
During the recorded interview played for the jury Thursday, Norwood claimed two men hit Murray. The jury has already seen several photos of Norwood from that morning.
Norwood claimed she and Murray had been beaten and sexually assaulted by two intruders.
She told detectives, "they drug Jayna by her hair. He was repeatedly hitting her and she was screaming and I couldn't do anything."
"I was really praying that someone would see us and help," Norwood said, according to police. "I just remember there being so much blood."
An employee at the neighboring Apple store heard a woman call out "oh God, please help me." The employee pounded on the wall, but didn't call 911.
Attorneys for Norwood say Murray was dead within 15 minutes of the beginning of the fight.
A spokesperson for the Maryland attorney general's office said it does not appear anyone at Apple did anything that would rise to the level of criminal liability. Apple did not respond to requests for comment.
During Thursday's testimony, a police officer displayed Norwood's clothing, including blood-soaked socks. An emergency room nurse described Norwood's bloody face but said the wounds were superficial. She said she was surprised how blood had flowed down Norwood's nose since Norwood claimed she lay on her back for 10 hours. "A lot of things were odd," the nurse said.
Earlier this week, Norwood's lawyer admitted that the defendant killed Murray at the Lululemon store in Bethesda in March, but claimed it was during a fight as opposed to premeditated first-degree murder.
Prosecutors say Murray suffered at least 322 wounds from a host of weapons.

The Kardashians
Kim Kardashian's BFF Says Sexting Keeps Marriage "Spicy"
Like Kim Kardashian's sex tape with singer Ray J in 2007, racy photos of Kim's BFF — TV host and fellow basketball wife LaLa Anthony — hit the web recently without her permission. But rather than freak out, LaLa said she's embracing her goods being on public display.
"I could care LESS! You know why? Because I always say that if you want to keep your marriage spicy, you should always send your husband naked pictures of yourself," LaLa tells Huffington Post, adding that her own sexy snapshots weren't "crazy" and only showed her in bra and underwear.
However, LaLa admita she was wasn't thrilled about the leak from the get-go. "I was pissed, but I am glad that we sent tasteful stuff. If it was just everything exposed, it would be a different situation," LaLa explained. In fact, LaLa cites sexy photos as one fun way married couples can keep the fire burning, along with giving each other lots of space.
"[Sending photos] really helps, to be honest!" LaLa said "...But also, space. I am a big advocate on space. It's not good to smother your partner. It's good to be apart and then when you come back together, you are excited again."
We all know Kimmy K is following her gal pal's advice on at least one count. She and Kris are definitely giving each other space – Kim recently went on a business trip to Dubai without him – but as for the sending risqué pics part? We don't know how Kim would feel if history repeated itself!

Target gathered press in New York City Thursday to reveal a new retail concept in an effort to re-invigorate the "cheap chic" concept it has done so well in years past.
However, news of another kind stole some of the impact.
Target gathered press in New York City Thursday to reveal a new retail concept in an effort to re-invigorate the "cheap chic" concept it has done so well in years past.
However, news of another kind stole some of the impact.
During the question and answer period, we asked about the rumored Apple store-within-a-store concept at Target .
Target executives said the retailer it is looking at a test with Apple in 25 stores offering a unique display and different assortment.
Target's job is to delight and surprise customers and it's hoping its "Shops at Target," the main focus of Thursday's announcement, will do just that.
Target reported a weaker-than-expected 1.6 percent increase in same-store sales for December as the retailer continues to fight for consumer dollars in a highly competitive retail landscape.
Target said Thursday it is collaborating with owners of five specialty shops from around the country, from California to Connecticut — The Candy Store, Cos Bar, Polka Dot Dog Bakery, Privet House and The Webster — to create a limited collection of unique products.
Consumers can find these products in Target stores and online starting May 6, for six weeks. The products range in price from a dollar to nearly $160 and vary from baked goods for dogs to decor for your home.
Target says the specialty shops will resemble store-within-a-store concepts and will be located in different locations about its "racetrack" (which is what the retailer calls its circular main aisle throughout stores).
Executive said this is just the first incarnation of collaborations with specialty shop owners from around the country in Target's quest to bring unique products to the mass market, making the inaccessible more accessible, everyday.
Analysts will carefully watch sales and consumer response for the initial five partnerships to set the pace for further rollout.
MKK Partners Patrick McKeever tells CNBC he thinks the collaborations are a real win for Target.
"I think it's another real coup for Target in its ongoing effort to differentiate itself versus Wal-Mart and some other retailers…I think it will have a nice positive impact on sales," he says.
McKeever believes sales will improve in the 4 percent to 5 percent range in January and February for Target, and maintains his $61 price target. He also cited the announcement from Target that it will buy back $5 billion worth of stock once its current $10 billion stock buyback program ends this year.
When Italian fashion house Missoni created a limited collection for Target, the retailers' website crashed with the unprecedented volume.
Target tells us many lessons were learned from that experience. It hopes the demand is as strong for the "Shops at Target" products as it was for Missoni for Target, and that fixes made will maintain the website's performance this time around.

5.0 out of 5 stars de-lish,
Emily Simek (Toronto, Ont) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Noise (Paperback)
Starting with Smith's 'How Insensitive', which is a yummy snack of a book that I gulped down in two days, I then chased it with 'Noise', which is denser and fuller-bodied. I am so pleased to have discovered an author of Smith's wry wit, cynicism, sensuality, wickedness, masochism, and (relative) youth. I am hungry for his remaining novels and short stories. I've finally found a Canadian author that I am proud to say I admire and whose work I feel cool about recommending/lending/gifting to my close friends. It is so comforting to know that someone else outside of my circle feels the same weird way about Toronto, suburbia, and Ontario. Smith's medium is the realm of the senses, and 'Noise' makes the same allusions to the auditory that Suskind's 'Perfume' does for the olfacotry. You will find your protagonist, and yourself, in a constant yet not unenjoyable state of sensory arousal and psychological frustration and stimulation that never seems to be truly satisfied, save for brief but inconsequential intervals...much like life itself, no? Smith's constant battle between 'breeder-esque' conformity and single hipsterdom is amusing and really speaks to people who are at the stage of their lives when they are trying to figure out if they want to follow their dreams of excess and bohemia or that of predictable employment. Both Smith's 'How insensitive' and 'Noise' remind me somewhat of Wolf's 'bonfire of the vanities', but I find that Smith's dialogue and descriptions are much smoother and leave very little room for stopping - you just have to keep going, its that addictive. Bravo, Russell Smith, keep the writing coming!

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Noise (Paperback)
In the crowded field of new novelists trying to capture the sound and sensitivities of present 20-somethings (a generation beyond Gen-X), "Noise" stands out much as Kerouac or Richard Farina did in their time. Smith's ear for language and easy facility in slipping in and out of the au courant phrases in a spectrum of fields gives a smooth flow with few jarring linguistic display-pieces. As good a send-up of modern dining obsessions as I've read since Stuart Stevens' "Feeding Frenzy."

4.0 out of 5 stars Novelist's second book triumphs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Noise (Paperback)
Russell Smith's first novel, _How Insensitive_, rocked the Canadian literary world. It was nominated for several of the country's highest awards. _Noise_, his second book, is even better. It's a witty, hilarious look at Toronto's disaffected young urbanites. It's published by The Porcupine's Quill, a small literary press that is attracting a lot of great new writers.
5.0 out of 5 stars Smith's finest work,
NorthVan Dave (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Noise (Paperback)
If books about disenchanted youth in the downtown core of a city centre are you bag, then this books has your name written all over it. Smith does an excellent job of capturing the blasé mood that has stricken many of the youth/young adults in today's world as they try to hold on the trappings of their youth, while being kicked into getting jobs by an economy that is hungry for new blood.
Give this novel a read. You might just surprise yourself.

The netbook I use is an eeepc ASUS with WIN 7
1, UNDER, power-options in the Control Panel
you can control the netbooks/portable flap/lid
so it can be closed without going to sleep.
(when using VOX) (Sysop mode)
2, Bluetooth dongle. (probably should be ver.3*)
I think it is a good idea MOST TIMES
to install the BT software first without
the dongle in.
3, Have full screen so that mouse does not
move off the EchoLink window.
Also Remember screen blanking !

4, Using a MYFI 3´s Huawie E585
I could not fix port forwarding (buggy)
So I enabled the DMZ flag to be able to use
Echolink , (The information how to use
DMZ is there in the MYFI , just read)
When buying a new Mify:-
It would be good to buy an opened one(sim)
and for mobile usage to have one with a
coaxial antenna socket if possible...
Also see that it can be charged with
a USB cable/port
5, When using several bluetooth headsets
It could be a good idea to use a utility
called QuickMix or somthing similar, to store
the microphone audio level/s for each BT unit.
I have one telephone headset(one earpiece..safer in car)
And one sunvisor BT unit (so the xyl can follow the qso)
*The only version 3.0 I have used installed much more
easily than Ver. 2.X, and also was much quieter in the

First, a progress report on Project Buy the Orphanage a Truck. As of this morning the total donated is $3280. That's more than halfway to our goal of $6000. I'm blown away. I really didn't think this was going to happen short of a miracle. Now, I think it just might. You guys are the miracle. Thanks.
Those 40 kids have lost parents, lived through war, and all sorts of other unmentionable things. And now you guys are stepping up and taking care of them in ways that really make a difference.
Now for today's story. It starts with a little girl named Cordelia, age 4. Her parents sponsor one of the children at Charis Home. After this Christmas when you guys helped us buy them real beds and shoes and warmer clothes, her mom showed her the pictures of them. She wanted to know why they didn't get any toys.
Her mom tells me that what followed was a long conversation where she tried to explain poverty and how the kids were really happy to get beds and clothes for Christmas. Cordelia still thought it wrong that those kid don't have toys to play with.
So this is what arrived in the mail yesterday for Aaron to deliver next week to the kids who live at Charis Home.
If that's not love, I don't know what is.
Thank-you Joy for organizing this and to all of you who sewed dolls. I know some kids who are going to be thrilled.

FORT WALTON BEACH - The owner of a fencing company was arrested after he received over $30,000 in payments for projects he never completed, according to an arrest report.
On March 24 Decks N Such Marine, Inc., paid Dana McVey, owner of Dolphin Rail and Fence, Inc., $4,252.50 for a project (which was not described in the Fort Walton Beach Police Department arrest report). The check was deposited in McVey's bank account April 1.
Then on April 22, the business paid McVey another $29,115 for a separate project (again, the project was not described). That check was deposited in McVey's account April 22.
As of July 14, neither project had been started. Dolphin Rail and Fence's physical address was no longer valid, and McVey had moved from his house, the report indicated. His bank account was closed, leaving a negative balance.
He was arrested Nov. 9 at the Okaloosa County Jail and charged with larceny and fraud. His court date is Dec. 18.

Gotcha Politics
Filed Under: Opinion, Politics | Posted: 10/18/2012 at 6:28AM
Comments | Region: United States
We have entered the age of Gotcha Politics. It is a place in history from which there is no escape, and we have been solidly wedged there for so long that it has become a normal condition. The press has become a predator, lurking for the misstatement of the day to make news. By focusing on the gaffes committed by politicians, the paparazzi media is keeping the viewers from the message they are trying to convey to the voters. The soundbites that are broadcast each day are frequently no indication of what the candidates stand for. If they were, would all have to conclude that all that politicians do with their typical day is to talk silly and speak words that they never intended to say. It wasn't always that way.
In the Kennedy era, a time we referred to as Camelot, our president made a gaffe during a speech at the Berlin Wall that was politely shrugged off by the world. John F. Kennedy intended to say, "I am a Berliner," as the keywords to his visit to a Germany divided between East and West, and between the ideas of communism and capitalism. Instead, he spoke the words, "Ich bin ein Berliner," which means, to anyone fluent in the Germanic language, "I am a jelly donut."
The 1960s was a time of relative innocence when it comes to Gotcha Politics. Berliners, Germany, and Kennedy's American audience politely overlooked the words and paid attention to the message. If Barack Obama or Mitt Romney had made a similar gaffe, our world of 24/7 soundbites would have repeated it every twenty minutes in a continuous loop until it was memorized by every school kid and adult within listening distance. Today, that audience includes everyone, everywhere. In Kennedy's time, news traveled by word of mouth, brought into your home by radio and in black and white. Today, it is communicated by Iphone and HDTV. If you didn't catch it live, it will always wait for you on the internet and on FOX, CNN, and MSNBC.
Once the words have been spoken and the gotcha moment has occurred, they cannot be taken back and they will never be covered up. All a politician can do is damage control, and we all know how ineffective that has become. Even if there is an immediate correction, the error is broadcast, and the attempt at conveying the original message becomes buried in misinformation. Richard Nixon once attempted to correct a misstatement by stating, "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant." Not clear and not effective. It took on a life of its own. History recalls the quote, but not the error in communication that he was trying to correct. He would have been better served by saying, "Let me start over. I didn't mean that."
Recently, Paul Ryan was interviewed by an obviously unprepared reporter from a Michigan TV affiliate with a major network. The interview had gone beyond the allotted time, and the reporter had not obtained his gotcha. He began zinging desperate questions about gun control and crime, which the vice-presidential candidate graciously tried to answer. When Ryan didn't take the bait, the reporter began a totally unrelated line of questions about the budget and the cutting of taxes. This area, a subject on which Ryan has built his reputation explaining, was the last question in the interview. Presumably, the subject was addressed earlier in the interview, but we will never know. The network pulled the interview from its broadcast. Suddenly and without warning, the interview itself was no longer news. The clumsy end of the interview became the news of the day. The next morning, the headlines became, Paul Ryan Abruptly Ends TV Interview. The interview itself gave way to the Gotcha.
Now that we are entering the home stretch of the presidential campaign, media attention is at an all-time high. Every word is scrutinized for gotchas. The bigger the gotcha, the longer it will run in a 24/7 continuous loop. Reporters have become gotcha-catchers, the Paparazzi of words. In seeking the gotchas, the press has disconnected the audience from the intended message. Part of the problem is the way we communicate. An hour-long speech can produce a gotcha or two, and a fifteen-second soundbite that contains one newsworthy point extracted from the entire oratory experience. The rest is discarded and forgotten, not worthy of publication.
There will certainly be many potential gotchas to come from the presidential and vice-presidential debates, and hopefully, the voters will have their favorites to repeat for posterity. They may eventually replace "You didn't build that," and "47%". If you forget the gaffes, don't worry. The political campaigns will dredge them up at every opportunity. They use them like a gunslinger uses bullets.
If you can stand sitting for the full length of a political speech, a feat of endurance that you will get no credit for, (and may produce a blinding headache), I have a challenge for you. After you have made it through to the end, take out your Iphone or a memo pad, talk to Siri or write it down. What was the speaker trying to say? Did I agree or disagree with the message? What color was his tie or her shoes?
If you remember his tie or her shoes but not the message, you will quickly come to the conclusion that speech-making is a horrible way to communicate. More words are forgotten than retained, and after the thank-you's to dignitaries and the obligatory joke or quip, most of what goes into a speech is old news, packaged and repeated at every opportunity.
If you only remember the gotchas, then you should realize that you have been trained to listen to messages in sound bites. The message you have retained in your memory is devoid of any information that the speaker intended for you to take from the speech.
The debates are the best opportunity to acquire new gotchas in large quantity. Debates are the political equivalent of trick or treating. The moderator is equipped with questions designed to trip up the most practiced debater, and there will be no teleprompter to remind them of the politically correct words to use in answering the questions.
If you come out of the debates with a balanced appraisal of each of the candidates' talking points, whether you agree or disagree, you are unique. There aren't many out there in the real world just like you. You may want to consider running for president someday, but if you do, you should only talk in soundbites.

Super Tenere vs Weestrom vs F800GS
So I know this has been hashed out before but I really am trying to decide about jumping on the Super Tenere. Initially reviews turned me off but later reviews have me intrigued. Current rides are a Vstrom 650 and a F800GS. Former ride R1100GS. Haven't not ridden this Winter(for a variety of reasons) my thoughts are fresh. Today had a 1 hour demo on the Super Tenere thanks to my local dealer. Combination of freeway and back twisty roads. So here are my thoughts.
Weestrom: Fairly bland but good all around bike. Fair acceleration but not like a 1100GS. Comfortable and good wind protection. Seems well made and very reliable, etc.
F800GS: Exciting great all around bike. Really good off road. Good acceleration but tends to buzz above 80mph. Wind protection is nil so get used to it.
Super Tenere: Much like the Vstrom. Power curve a little weird, accelerates pretty good but quickly you are at max RPM which requires frequent shifting in the lower gears. 90+mph remains smooth (and low RPM-what is max speed?) Gauges and fittings seem a little cheap (turn signals wobble at speed). Very noticeable feel between touring and sport modes. Did not play with the traction control. Not super exciting on first pass so I place it somewhere between the Vstrom and the GS on the excite-o-meter.
However I really want to like the Super T. I miss the shaft drive and long distance highway cruising capacity of the big GS. So I am interested in what Super T owners think after multiple miles. Any other comparisons between the Vstrom's and the Super Tenere?

Nothing to do with the new Tenere but, I did a Yoshi exhaust and LEDAR jet kit on the original 750 Super Tenere.
It became a total monster (138 mph)

Wee strom V's Super Tenere.
Main difference is about $8000. That's a long trip with some serious spending money on the strom, which will go anywhere the ST will.
Used ST's will be popping up in a few more months, I cant wait..

As an ex 1000 Strom owner who switched to a Tenere I beg to differ. Close to night and day difference
off road. Places I would never have taken the Strom the Tenere eats up.
I still think the Strom is an excellent bike for the money. I also think the Tenere is worth the extra
jingle if you do more than groomed gravel off roading.

Anyway, regardless of trail worthiness, 99.9% of teneres will never see mud on them and if I was buying one, it would be my main 2 up bike replacing the strom. My number one reason for buying one would be for sheer looks, because it looks the part, plain and simple. The strom may be ugly but I'll bet for the riding the majority of ST riders do, it would be fine.

Add me to the list of current S10 - ex Strom owners who call BS on that one.
If 99.9% of S10 riders are not taking them off road then the only reason would be because they listen to that kind of thing.
You just had an ex Strom owner tell you the facts. I am telling you the same thing having owned both.
I am in no way knocking the Strom and I have taken it lot's of places but the S10 just makes it easy and is way more capable. There, you have been told twice. I agree with the point that you can get a lot of places on the $8K saving.
That part at least is valid. There is no use buying an S10 if you are pushing to do it and scared of scratching it.
It is not a jacked up street bike and if you bothered looking you would see why. It's the real deal RTW bike, it's not just skin deep.
As an ex Strom owner you should know I don't give a jack about looks. An S10 is a different kind of bike that is all.
If all you are going to do is ride it around on tarmac you have the wrong bike. Don't buy one, grab something like the Explorer or XTourer, Versys. They are less of a compromise.

Anyway back to the OP.
You seem to have two midweights, one a jacked up street bike and one more off road and then a nuclear powered dirt pig.
What do you actually want to do would be an important question.
So what do actually want to do?
Where is the Tiger800XC in the equation and why was it discounted?
As far as the S10 goes. I understand the underwhelmingness of the test ride. The S10 just tend to do stuff. No fuss.
I was lucky enough on my first ride on one to be able to jump off it and onto more "interesting" bikes.
So it went sort of like this...
On the S10 first.
Why is everyone taking it so easy?
Then I jumped on some other bikes and was thinking I was going great guns until I looked in my mirrors ans saw the S10 rider up my backside looking at scenery wondering why everyone was taking it so easy.
So that was a big clue.
The bike is capable enough on a variety of surfaces that it just seems easy, That can mean boring if you just do a 200Km ride.
My last trip was 29Hours in the saddle over 3 days and 110Km of dirt/mud/crap thrown into the mix.
Did I feel shagged when I got home.
Do I usually feel shagged.
To a degree.
SO if you want a bike that makes you think you are going quick and is busy and frenetic the S10 is not for you.
If you want to go quickly and safely over a variety of conditions but feel like it wasn't much at the end of the day then it is for you.
The fun factor on the S10 is off road mainly. On the road I would say it's a competent mile muncher that can handle two people easily at sane speeds and has been over the last 3 years very reliable. The motor is more useful and economical than a GS under 130Km/h bit less economical and less happy over 130K/h than a GS. It does sports touring pretty well but will not change directions as fast as some BUT will hold the line when it gets rough and just keep going. It's better than the Vee over all on road.
The S10 will surprise off road. That has been said many times by many owners and I can just add another voice to that. Its a lot better off road then the Vee and Wee. (Easier and/or faster)
Regards the Touring Sport mode. The only time I found the T mode a bit of a pain was in the twisties, mainly because it seems to throw out my timing.
In the twisties I go Sport mode and when touring I don't care.
The TCS is a great thing when things get slippery and I haven't run out of ABS yet. It should be turned off when things get really shaggy but they have to get pretty shaggy. A gravel road is well within the ABS' capabilities. Most of the time you can just leave it alone and the UBS/ABS will just stop.
On any reasonable surface that may have been called a road at some point it will just work.
However on steep slippery inclines I would be turning it off although I want to see for myself just where the limits are.
So I have not ridden a F800GS but the Tiger wasn't bad, just not quite what I wanted. Again only managed to snag a test ride so it's hard to say but the price where I live, I couldn't see the value, especially after Stroms. The Strom is still a lot of bike for the money where I live.

Less horsepower, but about 100 lbs lighter and several thousand less buy in.
I had the ST on my list of bikes to purchase. I did not test ride one, so I can't directly compare from experience. However, once I rode the tiger, I was hooked, and that's what I bought.

clutch slave cylinder (caused by Prudhoe Bay mud http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=196720 ) was the only problem it ever had.
Did Gold Valve the forks to help with the harsh compression.
Coming home from that ride we did a 1,670 mile straight day (and night) so the bike was comfortable enough
for me to do just about any distance you could want. After Alaska I had kinda burned out on big D/S bikes
and the Strom had just been sittting in the garage as a loaner. My neighbor asked if I would sell it and I did.
A week later the Yamaha dealer I buy through called and said "We have one of those Teneres on the floor"
I had casually asked about one that spring. and the salesman made a note of it. Bought it that day.
Normally an FJR was my distance ride choice. I suddenly no longer was riding the FJR. Something about
the upright seating position and general comfort of the bike really appealed to me. I did miss the warp
drive acceleration of the FJR. My wife like the passenger space better too. So as a slab tourer it's great.
On a Southern Utah ride we had the exact model Strom I had, an 1150 GS and the Tenere. At one point I
traded with the Strom owner. My first impression was how little and low the Strom felt. The suspension
that I recalled being marginal but acceptable was now pitiful. I kept thinking "I can't believe I used to ride
one of these". Again, I enjoyed my Strom. It's just I was now spoiled. The Tenere is big and heavy. It does
an excellent job of hiding that weight.... well until you hit sand.
The Strom owner really liked the Tenere.
I'm not disagreeing with wheatwacker when he says "a Strom will go places that will surprise you".
People are always taking bikes places they may not be the best choice to take there. I'm just saying
a Tenere makes it way easier and you don't feel like it was a stupid idea to do it.
Anyway, here's a photo of the Strom trying to go throught the same mud hole the Tenere and GS just
went through. Plus consider that I had to stop, get my helmet off, get a camera out and still wait for
the Strom to show up to get the shot.
Hey wheatwacker, I guess I'm one of the .01%

in it's cc range.
If I really was doing more off road I would get the KTM. I just have this thing about buying what I
believe will be the least amount of drama to own.

Kinda new to this realm but man, my new 800 tiger has really surprised me as a do it all bike. New 705 tires and the bike will go off road like a champ. The new 1200 Tiger looks to be a direct shot at the S10 also. Quite the motor these 3 cyl's are. I'm impressed.

Got a Super-T, my son currently has the 1000 Strom, we had a WeeStrom, and I'm comfy on the GS bikes. Any of them will do local and highway and do well.
The Wee runs out of steam at high speed and in hills when loaded 2 up and/or with a full load. It'll actually do it up to a point, but the bike is revved up, you're shifting a LOT more, and it's not an enjoyable ride. It's better in town due to the lighter weight and if I'm renting in foreign countries with tight little cobblestone streets, the Wee is my bike of choice. But not for what the OP asked about. If price is a HUGE factor, the 'Zook is really hard to beat, especially if you can re-do the suspension.
The 800GS is best of these 3 off road and again will do the mission. The seat is the WORST and I just can't imagine doing big miles with a stocker. Your passenger WILL strangle you if she finds that the other two choices were the Wee or the Tenere. I'd rather have the GS if off road. The Wee would be better for the OP's 2-up and typically road mission.
As Bobby wrote, the Super Tenere is a different animal in being bigger, weighing more, and having a shaft. It is an understated bike that does everything amazingly well and is MUCH quicker in acceleration and handling than first impressions convey. Try riding a Tenere with somebody else on a Strom and then swap bikes and it's a shock how capable the Tenere actually is because you're working harder on either 'Zook. Plenty of options available now for aftermarket windshields and other parts to make it your own. If you really want more on your Excite-O-Meter, you can get the ECU reflashed and go play with the sport crowd. Doing long days two up or loaded down at high freeway speed is a breeze. I rent 1200 GS's on trips and find the ergos close, with the GS ever so slightly bigger in feel. The way the BMW carries it's weight makes the 2 bikes feel they weigh the same. I never ever think about reliability on the Yamaha and have been stranded a couple of times on big GS's. The Super-T is without question my pillion's choice for back seats. For me, the Tenere feels MUCH more in control and better planted on dirt and gravel than either of the Stroms ever felt, and there's ZERO comparison when 2-up.

I've got 3 of those bikes in my garage right now, Tenere, Strom (1K) and an 800GS. Sounds like this is just a Strom vs Tenere discussion though.
Put me down as echoing what the other Strom to Tenere converts are all saying. I've had my DL for seven years now and have wondered what it would take to get me to sell it, other bikes have come and gone but the Strom has stayed. Well, the Strom will be for sale soon. I don't think the Strom is just "great for the money" I think it's really just a great bike. When I purchased, it really was my number one choice (yes, even over BMW and KTM). But progress marches on. Simply put the Tenere just does everything better, with the one exception so far being the headlights (which are awesome on the Strom). Heck, the Tenere converted me from being an ABS hater to wanting it, no easy task , I've also found the traction control useful. The motor grows on you, it seems sedate but there is linear power there. Last time I rode my strom I forgot how high I needed to keep the rpms to feel the same, the Tenere just pulls you off the corner and I love that feeling.
Now for dirt. I'm no offroad hero on these big bikes, and they are all pigs, picked mine up for the first time yesterday and I'm feeling it today That's part of the problem with the Tenere, it has given me confidence to ride in a manner off road that I never did on the strom. Doesn't mean somebody else on a strom couldn't hang with me, just means I'D go slower on the strom and be less willing to take it places. I think any unbiased strom owner would have to agree after riding both.
If it really boils down to money, and you have to choose between buying a strom and taking your dream trip, or getting the Tenere and missing the trip, by all means get the strom. I could have never bought my Tenere and still be plenty happy going on wild adventures.

Justin Bieber Gets Jealous! Girlfriend Selena Gomez Thinks Her New Co-star Is a "Good Kisser": Report
Selena Gomez has been spending plenty of time swapping spit with co-star Nat Wolff in scenes for their new movie, Parental Guidance Suggested, and apparently she's been enjoying the whole process a bit too much.
Selena's boyfriend, Justin Bieber, is "furious" after hearing Selena tell a friend that she thinks Nat is "a good kisser," at least according to a new report in Star Magazine.
The mag says that Justin doesn't feel comfortable letting Selena out of his sight, and that he's been showing up on the set of Nat and Selena's movie as much as possible — just to make sure Nat knows to stay away.
What do you think about the whole ordeal: Does Justin have reason to be worried?

Clyde Prestowitz's Recent Discussions
President Obama's tax cut strategy a winner?
Who knows? What would be nice would be for both Obama and Romney to spell out comprehensive economic plans for the next four years in place of all the political gimmicry.See more
A Commerce Clause trap?
It remains to be seen. The comment on the Commerce Clause was not an actual ruling, but rather an expression of view. In other words, it does not become a precedent. So we'll have to wait to see if in further cases that view becomes the basis of a ruling for or against a case.
Of course, the fact that five of the Supremes appear to hold that view would seem to indicate the likelihood of such a ruling in the future, but each case has its own peculiarities and there are many instances in which conservatives may want to have the Feds regulating interstate commerce. So we'll have to wait and see.See more
Media in the tank for Obama?
You called the VandeHei and Allen article a "story", but it reads like an editorial or opinion piece to me. My question is why it wasn't labeled as such. The American press is beginning to ape all the worst aspects of the European press and this is just another example.See more

We were recognized by the Amateur Gastronomer magazine for our 2007 Sonoma County Zinfandel. At Kokomo Winery it is very important to us that our wines go well with food. We view wine as the sixth food group and like to think that you are going to get complexities from the wine when it is paired with a particular dish that you would not otherwise get. As the winemaker, it is flattering and important to be recognized by the food community for our wines. Unfortunately we are sold out of this vintage but I encourage you to try the 2008, which I feel is equally as good!
©2010 - Tasting Room Hours 11:00 AM - 4:30 PMPlease enjoy our wines responsibly. This web site is intended for those of a legal drinking age, by entering our site you verify that you are of legal drinking age.

Onion And Aubergine Omelette
|Vegetable oil
|3 Tablespoon
|1 , finely chopped
|1 Medium, cut into 3/4 inch cubes and degorged
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Ground cumin
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|3⁄4 Teaspoon
|Black pepper
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Cold water
|1 1⁄2 Tablespoon
|1 Tablespoon
In a medium sized frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat.
When the oil is hot, add the onion and fry, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until it is golden brown.
Add the aubergine [eggplant] cubes and cook them, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the aubergine [eggplant] mixture for 10 minutes or until the aubergine [eggplant] cubes are tender.
Set aside.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat the eggs, the remaining salt and pepper and the water together with a fork.
Add the aubergine [eggplant] mixture and beat until the ingredients are well mixed.
In a medium sized omelet pan, melt the butter over moderate heat.
When the foam subsides, pour in the egg mixture.
Stir the eggs, then leave them for a few seconds until the bottom sets.
Reduce the heat to low.
Using a palette knife or spatuia, lift the edge of the omelet and, at the same time, tilt the pan away from you so that the liquid egg escapes from the top and runs into the pan.
Put the pan down flat over the heat and leave until the omelet begins to set.
Invert a medium sized plate over the omelet pan and reverse the two.
The omelet should fall on to the plate.
Slide the omelet back into the pan, so that the browned side is uppermost, and continue cooking for 1 minute or until the omelet is completely set.
Slide the omelet on to a heated serving dish.
Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
Tilt the pan and pour in the beaten egg mixture.
Cook until the eggs are almost set.
With a flat bladed knife, lift the edges of the setting omelet and tilt the pan so that the remaining liquid seeps to the bottom.
When the omelet is completely set, continue cooking it for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is golden brown on the bottom.
Remove the pan from the heat and slide the omelet on to a warmed serving plate.

This region is characterized by coniferous and northern hardwood forests, nutrient poor soils and numerous clear lakes, bogs, and river flowage. All of the world's Kirtland's Warblers breed here, as do the majority of Golden-winged Warblers and Connecticut Warblers. Great Lakes coastal estuaries, river flowage, large shallow lakes, and natural wild rice lakes are used by many breeding and migrating water birds. Yellow Rail is among the important wetland species, and islands in the Great Lakes support large colonies of Caspian and Common Terns. Although breeding ducks are sparsely distributed, stable water conditions allow for consistent reproductive success. Wood Duck, Mallard, American Black Duck, Ring-necked Duck, and Common Goldeneye are common breeding species in this region. Threats to wetland habitat in the Boreal Forest Transition Region include recreational development, cranberry operations, peat harvesting, and drainage.

Seattle plunges beyond parody with its decision not to use salt on icy roads:
"If we were using salt, you'd see patches of bare road because salt is very effective," [chief of staff for the Seattle Department of Transportation Alex] Wiggins said. "We decided not to utilize salt because it's not a healthy addition to Puget Sound."
Maybe the city gets a piece of this guy on the back end.
Of course Seattle is one of the most liberal cities in the country. So over the next few months, as residents pay the price for their city's low-salt-high-injury diet we can be sure they will ultimately blame their leaders – for not covering their medical expenses.

In this course, photographer Derrick Story teaches the concepts and techniques behind efficient photo management and backup, which becomes increasingly important as a photo collection grows. The course begins by showing how to transfer and organize photos "by hand"—that is, by copying them from a memory card to a hard drive without using software. In the second portion of the course, discover how to take advantage of the photo-management features provided by programs such as Lightroom and Aperture, by assigning descriptive keywords, by giving photos ratings and color-coded labels, and how smart album features can automatically collect photos that meet certain criteria.
The course concludes with a look at aspects of a good backup and archival strategy, ranging from the best file format for long-term backup to the best hardware options for offline storage.
Protecting your images begins before you get them to the computer. When you take shots, and they are written to your memory card, they only live in that one spot. So you want to make sure they are safe and sound before you upload them. I like to keep my memory cards in cases. That gives me a level of protection. And another thing that I like to do is write my cell phone number on the outside of the case. I actually know of an instance where a professional photographer left her cards in a rental car, was getting ready to board a plane, and got the call and was able to retrieve her cards, not losing that entire shoot.
That's a good thing. Now, if you don't like my handwriting here with my Sharpie -- and I usually use Sharpies for writing on the outside of the cases -- you can use a labeler. I have a label here with my name on it on this portable hard drive. And, by the way, I think all of your portable devices should have some identification on them, but you can make smaller labels and put them on the outside of the case. The one thing I don't recommend that you do is put the labels on the card themselves, because what happens is they can begin to come loose, and when you go to take the card out of the camera it can get stuck in there, and that is definitely not a good thing.
So the bottom line is, take good care of your cards, and you'll be taking good care of your pictures, and you will be able to enjoy them on your computer when you get home.
