|I'll take it
I like the Kings' owner, but I very much question if he knows what he's doing.
|5 days 12 hours ago
|That all makes sense
I appreciate your thoughts here - you helped me clarify what I was saying. And apologies for my jerkishness earlier. I have a bad habit of sometimes letting work stress affect my posts on the blog, which isn't an excuse. It's just a (bad) reason.

|no,please feel free to respomd
I apparently don't know where to respond to you either either (though I try a bit below), and it would be nice to know where to start.
As for your desire to talk about real-world examles rather than hypotheticals, you my want to Google "Jamel Deam Ohio State." The fact that you haven't heard of him doesn't make his situation any less illustrative of one of the quandaries this issue presents.
I will say this: I should have framed the question as "When, if ever, should a program pressure a player into a medical redshirt?" The above is written from the point of view of the school.
As for the notion that it's unethical to even consider ramifications of a medical hardship other than those directly relating to the player, that seems almost willfully myopic (it's also nothing but a conclusory statement and a value judgment, which is fine but not convincing). A great many people benefit quite a lot when Michigan has a winning football team. A program would be derelict to not at least consider the effect a medical hardship might have on a program. So, yes, I did consider that. And then, in four out of five situations, I said I at least lean toward believing the school should not press a medical hardship on a kid.

|"morally bankrupt"
That's a perfectly valid viewpoint. But you may well not be in the majority here, so saying "this is morally bankrupt" and walking away doesn't accomplish much of anything.
As for Michigan not being Alabama's competitor, they are competing with them for recruits right now. And they played them a couple of years ago. There's a pretty good case to be made that they are competitors.

|Isn't it obvious that I'm talking at least in part...
...about cutting players to make room for other players? Why else would we be talking about this? No one is arguing that Michigan's doctors (or Pipkins' outside doctors) are wrong in a medical sense (because we have no idea).
As for this:
But what seemed to be a focus of your OP was what the player could do for the team, how many receptions and yards the team can expect from the player (and these are probably WAGs), and that what the team could expect from the player would affect their decision to medical hardship him. That is your ethical problem - that particular factor should not effect the decision to medical hardship the player.
I argued after each example that the player should not be forced to take a medical hardship except in the case of the player facing a debilitating injury. Yes, I considered other factors, but then I said they were trumped by SU's duty to the player. Your self-righteous lecture is based on nothing but me thinking things through out loud.
While I take your point that every player faces a debilitating injury to some extent, some players (like Steve Young at the end of his NFL career) are much more prone to suffering such injuries b/c of preexisting conditions. Here, I addressed possible risks to players and how increased risks should change a school's approach to a medical hardship, and you are brushing this off as if the risk to a guy who's had five concussions is the same as the risk to a guy who's had none because, hey, everyone can get hurt.
Either the player can be cleared medically or not; what he can deliver on the field is ethically (for the coaching staff's decision) completely irrelevant.
This dodges the issue. Jamel Dean was not cleared by OSU's doctors, but he was medically cleared by Dr. James Andrews. The same thing seems to have happened with Pipkins. What do you do in those situations?

|I don't mind this post
I think Brown may have committed to Michigan at one point (BA's tweet and one or two other things suggested this). And we know Battle loved Michigan recently. And as much as I love Coach Beilein, I sometimes get the sense he's overly rigid when it comes to recruiting (he wouldn't let Eron Harris bring his friends on his Michgian visit, for example). It may not just be bad luck that Michigan missed on Brown like they did and that they now face the potential loss of Battle.
|1 week 2 days ago
|That's not what I said
I said the consideration that dwarfs all others is whether the risk to the player's health is worth what *he* might gain from playing. What the team might gain is a very small issue compared to that.
As for taking potential production into account, I do argue that it is easier to justify pushing out a guy with little potential (this is undeniable from a utilitarian perspective). But I also say that, despite this, I don't want teams to cut guys unless they're facing the risk of debilitating injury (I argued that teams are only free to force a medical on the player in Situation No.5). I say above that the teams's ethical duty to the player - as far as his scholarship goes - trumps all other considerations.

|"Nick Saban thinking"
Isn't asking whether someone is healthy enough to contribute a form of asking about his ability to produce? What's the difference between contribution and production?
|1 week 3 days ago
I meant medical hardship.
As for the medical staff, they're going to tell you if a guy can play and maybe even give you a sense of how well he can play. But that doesn't tell you what you should do.
|1 week 3 days ago
|yeah - good point
I think someone in Coach Harbaugh's position ulltimately has to trust his judgment and the judgment of team doctors. But it's easy to imagine hard feelings in these situations. Even badly hurt boxers usually don't ask to stop a fight. Their corner has to throw in the towel.

That sounds like the sort of thing a Hitler-loving communist Muslim fanatic would say, so I don't know if I can agree.

|No apology necessary!
This may be the most valuable post in the thread.
|1 week 4 days ago
|Ah - gotcha
I didn't follow at first. That strikes me as a plausible explanation, although I have to question whether Harbaugh would essentially cut a version of Pipkins who's, say, 60% of his former self so that a walk-on could attend camp. Does Michigan really need a 14th receiver (or whatever the number is) that badly?
|1 week 4 days ago
|I said this above, but....
...I wonder if the "not being fair to your teammates" line was about Michigan not having a scholarship for Kerridge or one of the Glasgows if Pipkins didn't take a medical.
And I think it's fall camp when you have to be at 85 scholarships. I think you can have more than 85 prior to fall camp during a certain window of time.

|I wouldn't look down on the points
My understanding is that Brian gives you a new car if you hit 20,000. At least I hope that's true, because I've budgeted as if it is.
|1 week 4 days ago
Pipkins never could have made room for Williams by himself, because Williams is going to be at his new school for at least two years in all likelihood. Pipkins's scholarship + an unused scholarship in '16 could have made room for Williams.
|1 week 4 days ago
|This is a very fair, reasonable, and honest post
I'm bothering to say this because I assume you'll be negged just for being an OSU fan.
|1 week 4 days ago
|good point
That could even explain why Michigan thought it might be worth it to recruit Williams at one point.
EDIT: Having thought more about it, I don't believe that does explain anything. Michigan told Williams they didn't have room this week and told Pipkins this week he was cleared to transfer to a given set of schools. Pipkins alone couldn't have been the reason there wasn't room for Williams, because Pipkins is already leaving.
|1 week 4 days ago
I think that's only relevant to bringing on more than 25 guys in a given class. I don't think it helps with the 85 scholarship limit. I do not think you are absolutely prohibited from having 85 guys at all times - I believe you have some time between February and fall camp to sort that out.
|1 week 4 days ago
|"not fair to your teammates"
I wonder if Kerridge or one of the Glasgows wouldn't have a scholarship without Pipkins taking a medical There seems to be some debate (see above) over the scholarship count.
|1 week 4 days ago
|I wondered about the concussions
Michigan isn't going to be able to release the medical info they have re: Pipkins, so we don't know what their doctors said about it. I'm not saying Pipkins is lying about it, but we may not have the full story.
|1 week 4 days ago
|I'd be inclined to assume the worst if Jhonny Williams...
...hadn't just been told there's no room at the inn. Given that he was told that, I don't know what to think. As Brian says, why push a guy out so that you have an unused scholarship?

|Alabama can take guys from Michigan
But they can't beat the Wolverines for New Jersey guys!

|I think it dates back to...
...breaking that arm in the middle of the 1984 season, but I suppose I don't know that he didn't injure it another time too.
|1 week 5 days ago
Michigan has seemingly been dangerous at WR since at least the early '90s - and maybe that dates all the way back to AC. But it's hard to imagine that being the case this year. I think the best we can realistically hope for this year is 17-14 games, because I don't see the Michigan offense scoring 28 points on many decent teams.

Samsung: This Q1 goes one better

Samsung plans Origami PC launchApril 13, 2006
Reality check for the much-hyped Origami PCMarch 9, 2006
In a press conference and reception at the Samsung Experience store at Manhattan's Time Warner Center, Samsung executives touted the device's physical and functional improvements over the original Q1, hoping that it will be able to capture markets that are looking for something more mobile than a typical laptop computer but more functional than an Internet-enabled handset.
Samsung has created four versions of the new Q1 Ultra. The Q1 Ultra-V, which launched Monday, will ship to retailers in approximately two weeks. That version of the device, equipped with Windows Vista Home Premium Edition and a 60GB hard drive, will cost $1,199. Later this month, it will be joined by a $799 lower-end version designed for consumers on a budget, called the Q1 Ultra-EL. That version comes with a 40GB hard drive and a lower-end processor and lacks the Q1 Ultra-V's camera and biometric fingerprint reader.
A business-oriented version, the Q1 Ultra-XP, configured for the older Windows XP Tablet Edition operating system, will ship next month.
"The Vista user experience definitely has been a great step forward," Bret Berg, senior product marketing manager of Samsung's mobile computing products division, said in an interview after the press conference. But an XP-equipped version was necessary, he said: "We knew that very few of our commercial customers would have migrated (to Vista) yet."
While not all of the Q1 Ultra's media features are available on the Ultra-XP, Berg stressed that the hardware is the same as the Ultra-V's.
The highest-end Q1 Ultra, the Q1 Ultra-CMV, will not make its debut until August. According to Samsung, this is because one of its premium features--an HSDPA cellular modem--is currently in the middle of a qualification process with cellular carrier Cingular. The Q1 Ultra-CMV also comes with an enhanced 80GB hard drive.
Samsung's original Q1 UMPC, powered by a low-end Intel Celeron processor, was released a year ago to disappointing reviews and sales and was plagued by complaints of battery life that lasted only an hour and a half to three hours, slow performance and no keyboard. The launch event for the Q1 Ultra, consequently, highlighted extensive improvements in the second-generation device that were largely shaped by customers' reactions to its predecessor.
One of those customer complaints was the battery life. "People really wanted to see it extended," Berg said. The Q1 Ultra comes with a battery that's supposed to last four and a half hours, and an extended-life battery can be purchased that lasts eight and a half hours. According to Berg, the inclusion of an embedded QWERTY keyboard--the original Q1 only had a touch screen--was also included as a result of customer feedback.
"At this point, we have implemented most of the customers' feedback into the system," H.S. Kim, executive vice president and general manager of Samsung's computer division, said in an interview. "This is the ultramobile PC."
All four versions of the Q1 Ultra also are now powered by faster Intel processors that were specifically designed for UMPCs and have brighter, improved LCD screens that offer a 1024-by-600 resolution, up from 800-by-400.
At the press conference, Samsung executives insisted that the Q1 Ultra is the top of the line, and that further improvements aren't yet technologically feasible. But they're already thinking ahead. "We definitely would love to be able to continue to push the envelope," Berg explained, citing a desire to further drive down the price of the Q1 Ultra and offer a full day's worth of battery life. "We're close," he said.
"If I could reduce the weight and size, I'd do that," Kim added. "It takes time."

with the extended battery, no more than a full day and I did

- The thumbnail photo at the start of the story now shows the Samsung Q1 Ultra. A little further down in the story, we've also now included a larger photo that links to a photo gallery of the Q1 and other portable devices that debuted at this year's CeBit.
The original thumbnail photo was meant as a more generic illustration, to represent Samsung and gadgets generally. Obviously, the Q1 photo is more to the point of this particular story.

Hi everyone! I'm new to this part of the forum. I'm about 4 months along with #2. I pumped for the first few months with #1 and supplemented with formula. This time around I'd like to try to breastfeed from day one and switch to pumping as early as I can without supplementing if possible. What is the best way to transition? How early can this be done? I'll most likely be purchasing the electric pump (dual) this time around....otherwise I will rent it again from the hospital. Let me know if you need more info or anything. Obviously I have a bit of time, just trying to think things out in advance :)
SAHM to DD1 , DD2 , and one m/c
Why are you looking into switching to pumping? Are you going to be going back to work?

No, I wont be working. Its both a personal preference and to have my DH and DD involved in feeding the baby. I liked that with DD, she was still getting "the good stuff" but my DH could help with feedings and got to be involved. I had a hard time with breastfeeding, mostly because of time in the NICU, and for some reason it REALLY hurt me. Hopefully this time around the first part will not be an issue and I can breastfeed easier from the start. I also like the ability to have some milk stored.
SAHM to DD1 , DD2 , and one m/c
I think there have been threads for moms who were EP'ing (exclusively pumping). You might want to search for those.

TWINS are less likely to wind up with asthma than single children. David Stachan and colleagues at St George's Hospital, London, studied Scottish hospital admissions from 1981 to 1994 and found twins were half as likely to be admitted to hospital with severe asthma as non-twins (
Stachan likens the effect to another mystery puzzling doctors: children in large families are less likely to suffer from allergies, including some types of asthma. He suggests that twins and siblings may expose each other to infections at a crucial stage in childhood. This may prime their immune systems to tell the difference between pathogens and possible allergens.

Faculty and Student Backup
The below information is only for faculty and students. Faculty should back up to hope.simons-rock.edu and students should back up to pandora.simons-rock.edu
Staff should instead follow the directions linked here.
How can I backup my files to a network server or, how do I use SFTP?
In Mac OSX?
We recommend Fetch, which the college has an educational site license for. Download the Fetch.dmg file from http://safe.simons-rock.edu/software/mac/internet_e-mail/, and then double-click this file to unpack the Fetch application. Then drag Fetch into your Applications folder.
Start Fetch and choose File>New Connection... from the menu. Enter pandora.simons-rock.edu if you are a student or hope.simons-rock.edu if you are faculty as the Hostname: and your Simon's Rock user name as the Username:. Set the Connect Using: drop down menu to SFTP, and enter your password in the Password: box. Then click Connect to make the connection to pandora (or hope). The Fetch window will show all your files on pandora (or hope). Open a Finder window to see files on your Mac, and drag them into the Fetch window to move them to the remote server.
Or, you can do it from the terminal, if you want to be hard core about it. The Terminal application is located in the Utilities folder in Applications. For example, to sftp to pandora, open the Terminal application and type sftp firstname.lastname@example.com. Once connected, type ls to list your files. Use get to download a file, put to upload a file, and quit to close the connection and exit sftp. Type man sftp in the terminal for more help.
In Windows?
We recommend installing SSH for Windows which is available on the ITS Useful Software webpage in the windows/internet_email directory. Download and run this file. You should now have two new icons on your desktop: SSH Secure Shell Client and SSH Secure File Transfer.
To transfer files click on the SSH Secure File Transfer icon. Click Quick connect. Enter the computer you would like to transfer files to in the Host Name box. (For example, pandora.simons-rock.edu if you are a student, or hope.simons-rock.edu if you are faculty). Type in your user name and click Connect. Enter your password and then OK.
Once connected, you will be able to see the files from your local machine on the left and the network on the right. To transfer files from your computer to the network, you can click on the upload tool button (that looks an arrow pointing up) or go up to the operation menu and click on upload. Find the file you wish to transfer in the window that opens and click on it, and then click upload. You may also just drag it from your computer on the left to the remote server on the right.
Note that the file windows show several columns of information about each file, e.g. name, type, modification date--you may need to enlarge the window to see all of these columns. Click the small button labeling a column sort your files by that item. Thus, click modified to sort files by the date they were last changed. This lets you find your most recent files for backup.
To transfer a file from another computer to your hard drive, click on the file you want to download and then the download button (down arrow) on the tool bar. A window will then pop up where you can choose where on your hard drive you'd like the file to be placed. Again, you can also simply drag it across.
To end the connection, select Disconnect from the File menu.

Spoiler! Reality Steve on Ben Flajnik and His Bachelor 16 Fiancee: "They're Struggling"
During Reality Steve's live hour-long Q&A session on Thursday, February 16, the Spoiler King addressed the buzz around the Season 16 couple's questionable relationship status.
While Courtney Robertson has been the main source of viewers' wrath, Reality Steve was pointing the blame at Ben Flajnik for their difficult post-Bachelor journey.
Though he didn't definitely say they'd broken up, he said of the engaged pair, "They're struggling" with everything that comes with being on the show (including the time apart once filming has wrapped). He also predicted that a break up could very well happen by the time the After the Final Rose special airs for a number of reasons, but mainly because:
- Ben wants to be liked
- No one will like Ben if he stays with Courtney
So rather than defend his Chosen One, Reality Steve is more likely to believe that Ben will take the "easy way out" and break up with Courtney.
He's also not too surprised by rumors that Ben is misbehaving, calling the wine maker a "frat boy" — citing his post-Bachelorette Season 7 (rumored) romantic history with franchise alums Britt Billmaier, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Shawntel Newton — who went on The Bachelor to "promote his winery... meet a bunch of chicks and make out with them." Ouch!
Maybe this explains Ben's lack of, um, personality this season? Or why the main focus has been Courtney and not his budding relationships with the girls. Admittedly, we have had more fun watching him run through airports than on his dates with his supposed love interests. Eek!
Let's hope that now that the girls are out of the house and he'll be meeting them on their home turf next week, we'll see more spark.

One Lamin Sanneh, an inmate at the Mile II state central prison, on Monday testified as the forth prosecution witness (PW4) in the criminal trial involving the state against Sulayman Jammeh, alias Daddy Boston, and 18 others, at the Banjul Magistrates' Court, presided over by Magistrate Momodou M.S. Jallow.
Giving his evidence under evidence-in-chief, Sanneh told the court that on the 27th October 2012, they (the inmates) were all taken out of cell but one ASP Musa Badjie later came and asked them to go back to the cell and they were there until around 4 to 5pm.
According to him, the 1st accused (Daddy Boston) told the officer on duty that he wanted to go to the toilet and one corporal Tamba came and opened the cell. Few minutes later, the witness said he heard the 1st accused saying 'do you want to kill me' and they (inmates) all rushed out to find out what was happening. He said on seeing the 1st accused lying on the ground unconscious, they went to the office to inform the other officers, as the officers at the scene ran away. He added that the time this happened only cell number II was open.
During cross-examination of PW4 by the defence counsel for the 1st and 5th accused persons, Lawyer E-Jah, the witness told the court that nothing happened before the incident. PW4 stated that the inmates insisted that the prison guards come back and attend to him and as an inmate he expected that it is the duty of the officers to look after the wellbeing of the inmates. He said after the incident they were taken to conferment where he spent 24 days and their statements were recorded but the other inmates spent longer time there.
At that juncture, the case was adjourned to 3rd January 2013 for continuation of cross-examination.

Why I Sought ABMM Certification
"When I first stepped into the clinical microbiology field, I was impressed by the outstanding knowledge and experience the ABMM Diplomates demonstrated and decided to become one. The certification proved that the goal was achievable and opened up many more opportunities."
Lixia Liu, Ph.D., MP(ASCP), D(ABMM)Deputy Director
"I sought ABMM certification to prove to myself, and also to my peers, that I have successfully achieved the goal of the CPEP-approved Clinical Microbiology Fellowship: to become proficient in the field of clinical microbiology. While we will all continue to gain valuable knowledge and experience throughout our careers as laboratory directors, ABMM certification confirms that we have taken the appropriate first step to become leaders in the field of clinical microbiology."
Elitza Theel, Ph.D., D(ABMM)
"I sought ABMM certification because it meets the CLIA credentials for Laboratory Director and Clinical Consultant and provides credentialing support when working as a legal expert witness. Having ABMM certification allowed me to keep my present job as a laboratory director for a public health laboratory and to practice with a high degree of responsibility, independence and authority. With the ever increasing scrutiny of credentials by CLIA inspectors and employers, it is essential that those wishing to practice as microbiology laboratory directors become ABMM certified."
Robert M. Wadowsky, Sc.D., D(ABMM)
"I sought ABMM certification to demonstrate to myself and to my peers that I could achieve the highest level of expertise across the breadth of clinical microbiology. Board certification represents an objective measure of excellence in our field and gives credibility to laboratory professionals who wish to become the director of a clinical or public health microbiology laboratory."
Gerald A. Capraro, Ph.D., D(ABMM)
"ABMM certification is recognized as one of the highest credentials for doctoral-level microbiologists practicing in clinical, diagnostic microbiology and public health. This certification not only validates my expertise in medical microbiology and the regulations governing its practice but also recognizes my experience, training, and competence in carrying out my professional responsibilities."
Lakshmi Chandramohan, Ph.D.,D(ABMM)
"As a Clinical Microbiologist who was trained in Canada, I sought ABMM certification to validate my knowledge and experience and to become qualified to direct CLIA certified diagnostic microbiology laboratories performing high complexity testing. In my opinion, ABMM certification is the highest level of credential one can achieve in the field of Clinical Microbiology. The comprehensive exam measures candidate's in depth knowledge of direct testing, reporting, and safety, as well as their expertise in laboratory administration and management, all of which are essential to competently direct a Clinical Microbiology Laboratory."
Shadi Sepehri M.D., Ph.D., D(ABMM)

Maybe time to switch to another anti-virus?
Never had any problems with AVG, or NOD32 with downloads/installs, slow downs, or other annoyances…...no viruses as far as I know.
I stopped using Norton at least 15yrs ago as it was invasive and slowed my computer…..but that was then, and can't say it would
be the same today. But tagging C8 as a threat is a major pita.
liked your caustics test method mate, but I'd be seeing stars by #3.
But a glass of Penfolds Tawny helps steady the hand and clear the mind…..good for the heart, too.
Had to have a go at caustics and did this Dark Crystal. I had to bump the intensity to 500, and photons to 70k to get enough caustics. Just an experiment.

@tjohn: what does the footnote for the "More+ Complete with choline…" say? some wonderful legalspeak for how the unambiguous term "more" is actually to be read as "not clinically proven to contain anything other than snake oil and dog spit"? X)
Not a defender of the product as I think parents should be responsible enough to ensure their children eat a healthy balanced diet without the use of supplements, but the footnote appears to be at the end of the line after the word choline. As for the body's need for choline:
...in which it appears that as long as one has no diet or allergy problem with ingesting whole eggs (without the shells I assume) then one should be getting plenty of choline in one's diet.
Oh and LOL for "not clinically proven to contain anything other than snake oil and dog spit" although I think that's usually in the fine print on pet food labels, along with fly ash, lark's vomit and monosodium glutamate.

Al Gleason Receives Top Philanthropy Award
December 11, 2007
The former Aquarium Chairman of the Board is recognized for his extraordinary fundraising efforts
The cover of the December issue of Oregon Business magazine features a face familiar to Oregon Coast Aquarium staff; that of Al Gleason, former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Aquarium. (Click here for online link to article.) The Oregon Philanthropy Awards chose Al Gleason as Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser for his "unswerving focus" in approaching the Aquarium's financial crisis of 2002. It was Gleason who raised the immediate funds to keep the doors open and then developed a financial plan that raised 5.3 million dollars in three years.
The Oregon Philanthropy Awards is a partnership between Oregon Business magazine and the Oregon Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP). Its mission is to advance philanthropy by enabling people and organizations to practice ethical and effective fundraising. The core activities through which AFP fulfills this mission include education, training, mentoring, research, credentialing and advocacy.
"I am very pleased that AFP chose to recognize Al Gleason as the Volunteer Fundraiser of the Year," said Dale Schmidt, Aquarium President. "His efforts saved the Oregon Coast Aquarium and the entire state of Oregon owes him a big thank you. Al's continued dedication and his ability to inspire others has allowed the Aquarium to continue to be not only a statewide, but a national attraction."
Gleason, the retired Pacificorp CEO and former president of the Port of Portland, raised funds and convinced government organizations, corporations, bondholders and individuals to contribute. Aquarium staff and volunteers honored Gleason at a celebration last year, renaming the Aquarium's special event room "The Al and Janet Gleason Event Room."
"Al's community leadership with many organizations has resulted in significant building and fund-raising growth of the organizations he has supported, best evidenced by his ability to effectively re-structure the Aquarium's debt and lead a $5 million capital campaign that has helped position the Aquarium as one of the top ten in America," said Ken Thrasher, Aquarium board member.

Bellator alters tournament format, creates new class for former tourney winners
Bellator MMA is shifting its format, and now former tournament winners may have an easier path back to a title shot.
As long as a fighter wins a Bellator tournament, he will be placed into a pool of fighters who can be given a title shot at any time in the future. The promotion announced the change on Thursday.
Just like weve done since Day One, any fighter who wins the toughest tournament in sports will still be guaranteed a world title fight, Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney stated. The addition Im making here that Im really excited about is if youve won a tournament, youll join an elite group of athletes who we can grant a world title fight to at any time.
For example, if you win a tournament, fight for the world title and lose, you forever remain in that elite group of fighters who can be awarded another shot at the title. We will place some fighters back into tournaments, while others may lose a world title fight, win some non-tournament fights and be awarded another shot at the title.
Rebney said the new method wont be an automatic for anyone. Rather, the promotion will look at things on a case-by-case basis to decide if a tournament winner who loses a title shot should be thrust back into a fight with the champion.
In recent months, former lightweight champion Michael Chandler lost his title to Eddie Alvarez this past November. But instead of Chandler having to win a lightweight tournament to get another shot at the belt, he was put into a trilogy rematch with Alvarez.
That fight was set to take place a month ago at Bellator 120, the promotions first pay-per-view. But the week before the fight, Alvarez had to pull out thanks to a concussion. Instead, Chandler fought Will Brooks for the interim belt and lost a close decision.
But as past tournament winners, all three of those fighters now are eligible to be put back into a title fight at any time.
We wont be implementing any hard and fast rule as to when a fighter will go back into a tournament and when hell fight non-tournament fights and potentially be granted another title shot, Rebney stated. Whats great about this addition is that it allows us to stay true to our core format, where title shots can only be earned through a tournament win, while also providing us tremendous flexibility to make the great fights fans want to see.
And, we can do all this while keeping our fighters busy and battling in meaningful fights on a re-occurring basis. This is another step in our constant evolution and most importantly its a win for the fighters and the fans.
The new format appears to sit well with at least a couple current champions, as well.
When I heard about this change, I instantly fell in love with it, interim lightweight champ Brooks stated. This is a way to keep guys active after they have proven themselves in a tournament. You always want to stay in the mix as a fighter, and its really exciting to me that Bellator is taking the fighters and fans opinions to heart and making decisions to put on the best fights possible. Its refreshing to see and be a part of, and I cant wait to see what the future holds.
Staying busy is something welterweight titleholder Douglas Lima wants to be able to do, as well.
At the end of the day, everyone wants to see guys they know stay busy and active, he stated. As fighters, we want to stay busy and keep fighting, and this new change helps keep the talent pool fresh and creates new challengers for us. I know the tournament isnt going anywhere. Its how we all came up and got our titles, but now we have a chance to keep staying busy and keep defending our titles.The fighters currently eligible for title shots in the new format includes:
Bantamweight: Champion Eduardo Dantas, interim champion Joe Warren, Marcos Galvao, Rafael Silva
Featherweight: Champion Pat Curran, Patricio Pitbull Freire, Magomedrasul Frodo Khasbulaev, Shahbulat Shamhalaev, Daniel Straus, Joe Warren, Daniel Weichel
Lightweight: Champion Eddie Alvarez, interim champion Will Brooks, Michael Chandler, Pat Curran, Rick Hawn, Dave Jansen, David Rickels
Welterweight: Champion Douglas Lima, Karl Amoussou, Rick Hawn, Andrey Koreshkov
Middleweight: Champion Alexander Shlemenko, Doug Marshall, Brennan Ward
Light Heavyweight: Champion Emanuel Newton, Quinton Rampage Jackson, Muhammed King Mo Lawal, Christian MPumbu, Atilla Vegh
Heavyweight: Champion Vitaly Minakov, Cheick Kongo, Alexander Volkov

At least 14,000 leave their homes in anticipation of Yolanda's fury
Entire nation on alert as Yolanda barrels towards Friday landfall. Typhoon Yolanda is seen approaching the Philippines in this NOAA satellite image taken Wednesday, November 6, at 23:13 UTC (7:00 a.m. Thursday, PHL time). Local authorities evacuated coastal areas and put emergency workers on alert as the storm is expected to grow into a super typhoon headed towards the Visayas, which is still recovering from a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit last month. Reuters/NOAA
At least 14,389 people were preemptively evacuated from their homes in parts of Visayas and Mindanao due to the threat from Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan).
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council's 6 p.m. update indicated 910 families or 3,823 people were brought to 14 evacuation centers.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council's 6 p.m. update indicated 910 families or 3,823 people were brought to 14 evacuation centers.
It said the affected families were from Tacloban City and Tolosa in Leyte, Catbalogan in Eastern Samar, Gigaquit in Surigao del Norte, and Gingoog City in Misamis Oriental.
Of these, 738 families or 3,015 people were from Tacloban City in Leyte.
In Central Visayas, state-run Philippine Information Agency said that as of 8 p.m., another 1,935 families or 10,566 people were evacuated.
It said these included:
- Siquijor: 9 families or 32 persons
- Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu: 1,339 families or 6,378 people
- Mandaue City, Cebu: 587 families or 4,156 people in 15 evacuation centers
Passengers stranded
The NDRRMC said at least 1,724 passengers were stranded along with 16 vessels, 14 rolling cargo vessels, and 181 motor bancas in Bicol, Western Visayas, Central Visayas and Eastern Visayas.
The NDRRMC also said at least 11 domestic flights were canceled.
Yolanda, said to be the strongest storm to hit the country this year, entered the Philippine area of responsibility after midnight Wednesday and is expected to make landfall over Eastern Visayas on Friday.
It is expected to exit the Philippine area of responsibility Saturday night.
Expats told: Follow local authorities
Expats told: Follow local authorities
Even before the storm hit, nationals of at least four countries in the Philippines were advised Thursday to take precautions against possible bad weather from Typhoon Yolanda.
Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and France issued separate updates to their travel advice on the Philippines, urging nationals to heed instructions from Philippine authorities.
In its updated travel advisory, Australia said Yolanda has the potential to cause flooding and may disrupt essential services and infrastructure.
"Australians should monitor local media for information on local safety arrangements and latest weather reports," it advised.
"Those affected by the storm should follow the instructions of local authorities. You should also check with tour operators and travel providers for latest information on any travel disruptions," it added.
Australia also advised its nationals to identify their local shelter, and to keep travel documents such as passports, photo identification or secure them in a safe, waterproof location.
The United Kingdom also urged visitors and residents to "monitor local weather reports and follow the advice of local authorities."
Meanwhile, Canada advised its residents to "avoid disaster areas and follow the advice of local authorities."
"Flooding is frequent following heavy rains, even in central Manila. Be careful when moving around cities during extreme weather conditions as roads can quickly become flooded and impassable," it added.
Meanwhile, the French Embassy in Manila recommended that people take all necessary precautions such as having water, lamps and batteries, radio, blankets, and travel documents ready.
It also advised them to "seek protection from the eventual damage that may result from the typhoon, and comply with the recommendations given by the local authorities."
Bohol braces for aftershocks and heavy rains
In Bohol province, aftershocks from last month's magnitude-7.2 quake and the threat from Typhoon Yolanda are hounding residents of a town hit hard by October's deadly tremor.
Residents in Loon town are still feeling aftershocks and are worried about the "combination" of the typhoon and tremors, state-run Philippine Information Agency reported over Twitter Thursday afternoon.
"(In Loon, Bohol), aftershocks still felt here, (and) people (are) worried (about the) possibility of combination of typhoon and shocks happen," it said.
Loon folk are still recovering from the effects of last month's magnitude-7.2 quake. — JDS, GMA News

so .... u wanna know y would one use a nested class ...right .....first of all lemm me tell ya ....(i dont have programmin experience ) ...but as far as i know ....they are rarely used ...and when used ...they are mostly used in case of event handlings .... one simple reason y they are not used is ...coz they complicate the code ... they are used for basic two reasons ...:
1) u might need to make use of the special functionality of classs A from within class B without complicating the hierarchy of either classes ...(take some time in analizing these lines ) ...
2) if u r a programmer , then u might think .... if there is a class A ..that solely exists to help class B ... y write "class B extends A" ....y not get class A inside class B ... and may be u could use b to extend some other class .... this would help all the code to stay in a single file also ....
got it .... u might take some time actually if u have not dealt with event handling ...even i took some time in these ....

Inner classes are not as useless as the last post suggests.
If you wish a class, A, to have access to objects of another class, B, then you reference them. If class B is only relevant to class A, and would have no meaning outside class A, then you make it an inner class.
The inheritance hierarchy expresses the "is a" relationship. Thus, stating that class A extends B is stating that A is a more specialised version of B. This is quite different to stating that B encapsulates behaviour relevant only to class A.

By the early 1970s, Ford knew it had to update the Mustang for the next decade by utilizing lighter materials, smaller engines, and improved aerodynamics, all for the sake of increased fuel mileage and fewer emissions. Ford's new world car platform, code-named "Fox," would provide the foundation for a series of new Fords, including the next Mustang.
The Mustang's '79-'93 Fox era started quietly. A '79 Pace Car edition provided a glimmer of hope. Then the floodgates started opening in '82 with the debut of the 5.0-liter HO, an engine that was especially well-suited for the also-new GT. From there, the 5.0 gained steam—from 157 horsepower in '82, to 175 horsepower with a four-barrel in '83, finally topping out at 225 horsepower with fuel-injection from '87-'93. Lightweight and inexpensive, the 5.0-liter Mustang revived the Mustang legend for a new generation of enthusiasts.
Saved by Telnack
When Jack Telnack returned from Europe to take over as Ford's executive director of light car and truck design in 1976, he was not pleased with the styling studio's boxy designs, which looked too much like the Fox-based four-door Fairmont. Utilizing the aerodynamic tricks learned in Europe, Telnack oversaw the creation of a more European Mustang with a slanted nose and lower hood. The Telnack-influenced '79 Mustang would set the stage for one of the greatest eras in Mustang history.
Ready to Strike—Well, sort of
The Cobra model continued on the Fox-body (but without the "II") as the top-of-the-line performance Mustang. Unfortunately, like its predecessor Cobra II, the power under the hood did not support the optional Cobra hood decal.
Setting the Pace
Like the original '65 Mustang, the all-new '79 Mustang was chosen as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500. Finally, after five years of Mustang IIs, enthusiasts had something to talk about when the Pace Car replica arrived with a front air dam and rear spoiler, hood scoop, TRX suspension, Recaro seats, and a Pewter Silver paint job with orange/red/black graphics. Powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder or 302 V-8, the Pace Car was not overwhelming in terms of power, but the appearance package set the stage for Mustangs to come.
Getting a Handle on Performance
The Fox Mustang took another step in the performance direction with its optional TRX suspension package. Centered around Michelin's oddly-sized metric radial tires (390mm, or 15.35 inches), which had been used by Ford in Europe, the TRX option also included matching-size forged aluminum wheels, unique strut/shock valving and spring rates, larger front stabilizer bar, and a rear stabilizer bar.
Boss is Back
Motor Trend reached into the Mustang's past to describe the late-addition '82 Mustang GT. Although available with all Mustang engines, the revived GT model, absent from the Mustang since 1969, stirred the souls of enthusiasts when equipped with the new 5.0-liter HO, a 157-horsepower small-block with a 351 camshaft, improved cylinder heads, and a two-barrel carburetor with an aluminum intake and dual-snorkel air cleaner. Motor Trend testing resulted in 6.9-second 0-60 times and 16.10 seconds through the quarter-mile, leading them to conclude, "For our money, it's the best-balanced, most capable Mustang ever done."
Four-Eyed Fun
The '82 5.0-liter HO got things started. By '85, the 5.0 had a four-barrel carburetor, even better cylinder heads, and tubular headers, followed by electronic fuel injection (EFI) for '86. With their four headlights, enthusiasts refer to the early Fox-bodies as "four-eyes."
Celebrating Two Decades
Ford commemorated the Mustang's 20th birthday with a special 20th Anniversary Edition, available as a white hatchback or convertible with red "GT 350" rocker panel stripes. It was a nice nod to the Mustang's history, although it led to a courtroom dispute between Carroll Shelby and Ford over the use of the GT 350 nomenclature.
5.0 For the Future
Mustang performance enthusiasts panicked when they learned about the 5.0-liter's EFI for '86, fretting that any modifications would upset the new-fangled EEC-IV computer. Turns out, nothing was further from the truth. By the time the revised 225-horsepower 5.0-liter arrived in the Mustang for '87, owners had learned that the EFI engine responded extremely well to typical hot-rodder tricks, fueling a 5.0-liter revolution on the street and track.
Scoops and Spoilers
We remember our friend Austin Craig from Ford's J. Walter Thompson advertising agency calling with the exciting news about the '87 Mustang GT: "Wait until you see it," he predicted. "It's got an aerodynamic nose, body effects with rear scoops, and fluted taillights." The '87 GT established a new benchmark for a factory-produced Mustang with its combination of performance and style.
By Enthusiasts, For Enthusiasts
As Ford reentered the racing arena after a decade-long absence, the company looked to its successful European organization for direction. The result was Special Vehicle Operations, which was charged with supporting private racers and developing a performance parts program. To help fund the program, the engineers created the Mustang SVO, one of the best-balanced Mustangs ever built. Produced from '84 to '86, the SVO featured a high-tech turbocharged and intercooled four-cylinder engine, special suspension with new "quadra-shocks" at the rear, and a unique appearance, including an off-set hood scoop and dual-plane rear spoiler. Car & Driver called it "the best all-around car for the enthusiast driver ever produced by the U.S. industry."

When I heard Twitter chatter between Oiselle Team Manager Kristin Metcalf and a few other runners about heading to Occidental College to spectate at a track meet, I just had to butt in to the conversation and invite myself to the party. After all, the event (the USATF High Performance Distance Classic– or, #OxyHP) was only three-ish miles from my apartment and seemed like a great opportunity to meet cool people I kinda-sorta-basically "knew" from Twitter, give my industrial strength cowbell a workout, and watch elite runners do their thang.
Arriving at Occidental College's Jack Kemp Stadium on race day, I bought my ticket and happened to bump into Oiselle Team runner Anne Riggin. She introduced herself, presumably because she knew right away I was headed to join the Oiselle crew by the looks of my sweet threads. (For the curious reader, my OOTD included the Lesko Bra, Scantron Tank, Distance Shorts, Feather Spike Bag, & an Oiselle temporary tattoo because why not go all-out O in a situation like this.)
Anne and I joined Kristin and Sarah Boone (OUAL), both of whom I'd talked to– virtually, at least– for a while, and settled in for an evening of fangirling.
Now, I'll be the first to admit I don't know much about track. I ran the 200m and 400m (and did some long-jumping for good measure) in 8th grade, but my knowledge now-a-days is rudimentary at best. Not wanting to embarrass myself at the meet, I studied up on Oiselle's very own FanGirl Series and Googled "steeplechase." I still have a ways to go, but when it gets down to it, a fangirl is a fangirl is a fangirl… right?!
On the track meet docket– from 800m to 5k– were six elite members of Oiselle Team (Haute Volée, as they're known en français): Kate Grace, Lauren Wallace, Amanda Mergaert, Amanda Winslow, Lauren Penney, Laura Carlyle, and Lauren Fleshman. Holy feminine-fierce! And that was just a handful of the athletes set to duke it out on the track on a hot-hot-hot day in L.A.
Around and around that oval they went. The birds of Oiselle Team seemed to fly by. These may have been distance events as far as track is concerned, but the longest race was over in just 15 minutes and change. One of my favorite moments? Oh, just that time Kate Grace seemingly effortlessly pulled in front of the lead pack of her 800m heat to finish first. As Sarah noted, it was almost as if Kate was thinking during that last 100m, "Don't worry, guys, I got this."
Let's take a moment now to appreciate the fact that after the race Kate did a full-on workout:
And also, while we're at it, all the sinewy men in short shorts:
Overall, the decibel level of the crowd may have been underwhelming and the commentary shmeh. (Perhaps we should have streamed Flotrack's commentary?) But the company was great and it was impossible to not get caught up in the excitement of runners putting it all on the line(s of the track) in each event, as we reminded ourselves just how darn fast they were racing.
From their solitary warm-ups to faces of utter fierceness just before the finish line, these hard working and genetically blessed professional athletes were a sight to be seen…
…sometimes up close and personal, LIKE THAT TIME I MET LAUREN FLESHMAN.
Yes, she is as awesome in person as she exudes on the internets. And although she was bummed at having to pull out of her event due to Achilles tightness (robbing us of the opportunity to see her famous abs IRL), she was super-freakin'-cool. Genuinely happy to meet fans. Strong woman. Smart athlete. A fan of PB&J. Track Attack Pants Model. I hope to have the opportunity to spend time with her again!
From front to back (and side to side), it was such a great night of spectating. As the evening came to a close, it was comforting to know that even pro runners with insane abs ate the cookies I brought in what is now my proudest snack mom moment to date. I left the event filled to the brim with a renewed love for the sport and determination to continue fighting to fully recover from injury and get back to racing. A big "thank you" to Kristin for letting me jump on the track meet party train! (Check out the full meet results here.)
What are your favorite track meet memories?

I work in the wireless industry and can tell you that if you remove the battery and wait a couple of seconds and then put it back on and power cycle your phone back on this is a hard reboot and if that does not work then it is a manufacturer defect and you may have to go to your carrier and have it replaced. hope this helps.

Shocking this is Lonely Planet's (Edition 2012) "Top Choice" for Anuradhapura! The only explanation is that the ownership changed since then (2012).Because this looks like a once very nice place where the owners totally stopped investing and decided to live from their reputation.Apart from some cleanliness issues the reception desk was always empty during the day and if coincidentally there was a guy, he really showed no interest (restaurant staff was ok).Clearly overpriced for what they offer.

Earlier this month, Star Ocean developer Tri-Ace launched a teaser Web site for its latest multiplatform role-playing game, complete with a countdown timer presumably leading up to the game's reveal. And, with a solid 34 hours and counting left on the clock, scans of Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu's multipage blowout for Tri-Ace's new project have surfaced online.
Titled End of Eternity, Tri-Ace's latest RPG is expected to arrive in Japan this winter. (Scans of the announcement were obtained by gaming blog Wii Everyday and translated by GameSpot.) It will be published by Sega for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
According to Famitsu's report, End of Eternity is set in a city in the sky and is populated by a technologically advanced society. The action will follow primary protagonist Zephyr, who, along with his friend Vashyron, finds himself mired in a struggle involving a female known as Test Body No. 20. As the story goes, Test Body No. 20 learns that she is a scientific experiment and escapes from her research facility just before she is to be terminated.
Famitsu's report did not delve too deeply into gameplay, though it did mention that End of Eternity will feature a "semi-real-time battle system."

Police called in after a champagne incident at The Wanted party
Posted: July 30, 2013|
GLOUCESTER popstar Nathan Sykes has received a ticking off from police after his band The Wanted drenched a poet in champagne.
The group were celebrating the birthday of band member Jay McGuiness when the party at the London Marylebone Hotel spilled out into the street.
Poet, Dr Todd Swift claims he was soaked as The Wanted threw champagne over him from their hotel balcony.
Todd - who penned episodes of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' and 'Young Robin Hood' in the 1990s - told The Sun newspaper: "What sort of example are they setting to their young fans?
"I came out of the gym and was walking down the street.
"Suddenly I was hit with a lot of liquid. It was not, as the police claim, a glass of champagne. It was a lot of liquid. It went all over my hat, jacket, shirt and face.
"I looked up to the second floor and there were three young guys laughing at me. One of them said, p**s and beer, mate."
The Walks Like Rihanna hit makers were celebrating Jay's 23rd birthday when the incident occurred last week.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: "Police were called at around 12.20pm on Thursday, July 25, to a report of a man having been verbally threatened and having had a liquid substance thrown over him at a hotel in Marylebone.
"Officers returned the next day, July 26, and spoke to the party identified.
"It was ascertained that a glass of champagne had been thrown, but there was no evidence of who, if anyone, had actually done this or been involved in any verbal altercation.
"The victim was informed that without any further evidence there were no further lines of enquiry to pursue."

My Impassioned Plea For Radiohead Tickets
This is an email I sent to Steve Martin of Nasty Little Man, the PR agency that represents Radiohead. You can find them on Twitter here and please help me complete my mission!
My name is Stuart Tracte, and I might just be the world's biggest Radiohead fan. I know they are playing the Roseland next week, and the anxiety of getting a ticket is killing me. The fact that I cannot control my own fate on this makes me uncomfortably anxious. I did a bit of research and found out that you and your agency handle the PR for Radiohead. To cut to the chase, here's my plea.
I'm a lifelong musician, and was of course familiar with Creep, High & Dry & Fake Plastic Trees, but when I heard Karma Police on the radio in 1997, I knew I had discovered something that would change my life forever. OK Computer was a turning point in my appreciation for music. The messages on that album were cryptic and meaningful all at once. The sounds reminded me of Pink Floyd, but smarter, more modern, and with an edge that tickled me in ways I'd never been tickled before. I bought this album, fell in love, and then went backwards through the rest of the Radiohead catalog. Read more…

I've never bought a golf game before Tiger Woods 10. I was addicted to it until the conduit came out, I'm sure I'll get back to it at some point.
Controls - there's no better golf game in existence as far as controls go.
Motion+ - it works very well for this game and really shows what is possible for the future of M+, IGN went as far as to say they'd recommend Tiger Woods 10 over Wii Sports Resort for M+ bundles. TW10 was also their game of the month over the conduit for wii.
Graphics - nothing spectacular, I believe I read they were similar to previous TW wii games.
Gameplay - its golf, not sure what to say, I don't know how much different it would be compared to previous years but I haven't played the others. Disc golf is there too which is pretty fun as well as some party games, but not sure if those were there in previous years.
Wifi - yes, very easy to get online and play, lots of options for tournaments and friends lists and such, I wish nintendo's wifi connection was more like EA's. no need for friend codes either.
If you enjoy golf then you'll enjoy TW10. I don't plan on buying wii sports resort so for me it was worth it to get the M+, but I paid $60, not 45 pounds.

Real Housewives of New York
Have Heather & Ramona Made Up on Real Housewives of New York?
Ramona Singer and Heather Thomson haven't exactly been getting along on this season of Real Housewives of New York. Ramona has accused the newbie Housewife of being a "liar" and "fake" after the Yummie Tummie founder purposely didn't include the reality star in a trip to London.
However, an exchange on Twitter hints that their feud may be water under the bridge.
"Well I think after next week['s episode] I am so over Heather," Ramona tweeted during Monday night's airing of RHONY.
"Thank God but not true," Heather tweeted in response, adding a winking emoticon. Ramona reacted by tweeting a "x0" to her fellow Housewife.
Now, we pride ourselves in being expert Twitter decoders, but even this one has us a little stumped. Our initial response is that Ramona is going to be "over" engaging with Heather since we know that a huge blow-up is coming in next week's episode (Season 5, Episode 11: "This Party Is Toast," airing August 13). However, the pair's cutesy exchange of both winky emoticons and "xo"s has us thinking that maybe the pair's feud is over now that they have wrapped filming. (Remember: In the world of the Housewives, a winky tweet is basically the equivalent of the Geneva Conventions.)
Back when we interviewed Heather in July, she told us that there is "no hate" between her and Ramona and that they simply had some "misses" in communication. Sonja also told us earlier this summer that she thinks that Ramona wants to have a real friendship with Heather, despite all the nasty words we've seen exchanged on camera.
Whatever is going on, we hope that these two make up. But not before the reunion show!
The Real Housewives of New York airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Question about chimney
So I don't have a brick oven, but a brick BBQ pit, so I thought this might be an appropriate place to ask this question, though, considering there are a lot of chimney experts here.
I have a cinder block set sideways near the top of the smoker (see picture, there is a course of blocks around the "vent" now). The smoker will have a cast iron lid.
Basically, I'm trying to run some kind of chimney pipe through that hole in the block. Thought maybe a curved pipe or something...
Questions - what to use? what diameter/length to get proper draft? How to seal pipe into block?
As opposed to the need for strong draft for heat purposes, I'm really only looking to draw moisture out of the chamber and keep the smoke moving to keep creosote, stale smoke, etc from building up.
Here's the pic with the chimney vent block in the back right.
Re: Question about chimney
BBQ Pit Building Calculator
Assuming you're building a brick smoker, the above link will give you dimensions of the firebox and chimney relative to the cooking chamber. I can tell you from pit building experience that if the picture you have represents the firebox, you can have a cooking chamber three times that volume. The guys over at Www.thesmokering.com are pit bulding pros who can give you additional input.
For the chimney, select the pipe diameter in the calculator and it will give you the correct length. And try to avoid bends in the flue. It messes up the draw if you put too much of an angle on the flue (it can be done, but I don't recall what the allowable angles are). You would probably be best served to use flue liner (clay or stainless steel) and building around it instead of running it through the block. CMU's aren't intended to take high levels of heat, the rough surface will accumulate soot quickly, and your chimney sweep will curse you.

Best new feature: WWE 13's Attitude Era
It's one thing to have the Montreal Screwjob in a video game. But THQ takes the Attitude Era story mode to unheard-of levels for a wrestling video game, even delivering details like Bret Hart's polygonal spit smacking Vince McMahon in the face. The Rock, D-X, the Brothers of Destruction, and even Mike Tyson make appearances, bringing wrestling fans back to their happy place of crotch chops and beer baths.
The game is available for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii.

Shocks and Dollars
My '07 GSA needs new shocks.
At 41,000 miles they feel tired and since it's a gradual degradation they are probably worse than I think. I have read a lot of the shock threads here and have done a little researching and I have pretty much decided to go with Wilbers but I am still having a tough time with the $2000 price tag. That's a lot of money for motorcycle shocks in my world.
Do I have the money? Yes.
BUT. I also have two kids in college, a mortgage, and a lovely wife so my money has a lot of destinations. I may need some convincing. For those of you that have spent the money for new shocks, is it worth it? I know that you may like them but are they worth two grand? I don't want this to become a thread about the various brands of shocks available but about the overall value of putting new aftermarket shocks on a GS.
All thoughts and opinions are welcome....flame away!
The only people who regret new shocks are those that never noticed the old ones were shot, and that do not ride hard at all. For everyone else they are an eye opener.
If I were you I would watch the flea market and E-bay and you can usually get them about half price. They are rebuildable for about $100 each or so.
Jim :brow
PS Ohlins are not your only option, there are some for under $1500 new.
Don't ride a bike with good shocks, set to your style and weight, if you don't want to write the check!!!
Didn't know how good my bike(s) would handle till I put good shocks on them... Dirt bikes, (KTM, Honda,) GSA, and LT.
Part of my issue is I am a little guy at 300#.... and if I push the bike much at all, the stock shocks just didn't handle. I have Wilbers on the LT and Ohlins on the GSA. What a difference...!!!
The LT will out handle many sport bikes and the GSA is just plain fun to ride- goes where you want w/o any hick ups. When you go over "bumps" on the road, you can feel good shocks track the road... the stock ones would some times bounce over.
My son raced dirt bikes and went to some pro schools. The instructor was talking about where to spend money on a bike--- #1 Suspension. I have to agree.
Have the shocks set to your weight and riding style.... you will like it.
I will say, the Ohlins took some time to settle in. At first I questioned my purchase or the setup. After a while- I could really tell the difference.
I got lucky and found some really good used gsa shocks in the flea market. I had about 56000 on my bike at the time and oh boy was it ever a much more thrilling ride after that. :rofl:rofl:evil
So for a different side to the story...
I spent 2k for suspension... took me 6 months to write that check :D
The bike handles great (really great) but... now it rides very firm. I've been working with Ted Porter, he's been very helpful and awesome to deal with, and it seems that I may have it as 'set up' as it's going to get. I used to be able to ride 14+ hours in a day. Now a couple hours and I'm hurting. I don't want to be as 'connected' to the road as I am.
I'm cornering faster than ever with more confidence than I've ever had on this bike... Still, you might find mine on the FM in a couple months if I can't make it better. Not really sure where to go from here.
Suspension is EASILY the first place to upgrade your bike..your stock shocks were most likely worn out at 20,000 miles..less if washboard roads were in it's history....
The best bang for the buck by far..
When I wanted to raise my newly purchased GS back to stock height from the lowered height the original owner had the bike and didn't want to write that big of check that quickly after buying the bike, I found a set of brand new take off stock shocks in the Flea Market someone had taking up space in their garage for a mere $110.
I'd say that might be a more frugal option for you. New stock shocks would have to be better than worn out stock shocks.
I believe that Bruno can rebuild the rear shocks for the GS. I understand he cuts the top off and rebuilds the internals. It might be worth a phone call or email.
Thanks for the responses, fellas.
That's a good idea, def. I will get in touch with Bruno. Rhubarb, definitely give me a shout if you want to sell your shocks....are they Wilbers?
I ride a 2002 GS and finally popped for a new set of shocks this winter. I bought Wilber's from Ted's after doing a lot of research. I got the ADV deal (10% off) on Christmas discount Series 3 shocks. I spent $1,500.oo delivered and was happy to do so, although it took six week to get to my door.
I figured spending a couple of grand to improve ride quality and carrying capacity was less than a new bike. I love my GS and see it as a good investment for something I'll keep for years. I have not put them on as of yet but anticipate a much improved ride over the stock shocks with over 70k on them!
Yeah if I had the big bucks I would have spent the 1,500. on a down payment for a new GSA,,,,, but mine is paid for :wink:
I spent about $1,400 tops for my hyperpros but that was 3 years ago. Klaus built them to my specs and have been very happy with them. This was for a 2006 GS. I don't think you have to spend $2K but have to admit, I would like to have the new TTX Ohlins on my 12' GSA.
Mine are Yacugar (hyperpro's bastard brother), custom built for me using straight rate springs.
Rear is remote reservoir and HPA which bumped the price quite a bit.
They were actually $1700 and change after discount + sales tax and shipping. + $60 for a maier mud guard to protect the rear shock which took me to $1896...
Oh, then I had to go buy some vacuum caps and a hose splice for the cannister removal that I mistakenly hadn't planned for. :D
