The RSV 1000 R Factory is an enhanced RSV 1000 R, already the world's top twin-cylinder supersport. The V60 Magnesium engine and the new RSV 1000 R chassis combine with special ultra-light materials and the world's best production components to bring the RSV 1000 R Factory up to a previously unknown level of excellence on the track.
The Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory is the utmost expression of Aprilia's technological and sporting heritage.
Here is a bike designed for those who demand maximum performance on the track. Yet, like all previous RSV 1000 R models, the new Factory still sells at a surprisingly low price. Just like its predecessors, the new Factory brings you the best motorcycle technology in the world at a rock bottom price. Nowhere else will you find this level of equipment for such a low outlay.
The Factory is an RSV 1000 R that has been pushed beyond the excellence barrier, cleverly modified and equipped with only superlative components.
The important details that distinguish the Factory from the standard RSV 1000 R are:
- Fully adjustable Öhlins fork
- Fully adjustable Öhlins monoshock
- Adjustable Öhlins steering damper fitted as standard
- Forged aluminium wheels
- Rider's seat with non-slip racing upholstery
- Frame finished in matt black
- Carbon body parts
The Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory is equipped with a large number of world-beating components for maximum prestige and minimum weight. Many components and solutions have been taken directly from the world of racing.
The result is truly impressive in terms of design and manufacturing quality. The RSV 1000 R Factory stands apart not only from other twin-cylinder machines, but from all other supersports. The Factory is the perfect balance between quality, technology, high-tech components and finish. In short, the Factory is the best you can get and comes at the lowest price possible.
No changes have been needed to the RSV 1000 R's V60 Magnesium engine. All its innovative features and its already incredible performance remain unchanged. The V60 Magnesium engine pumps out 138.72 hp (102 kW) at 9,500 rpm with a maximum torque of 107 Nm at 7,500 rpm. Mapping has been radically modified to give more power at medium revs. A double silencer exhaust and three way catalytic converter with Lambda probe oxygen sensor ensures that the RSV 1000 R Factory conforms to Euro 2 standards.
The Factory has the same super-light frame as the RSV 1000 R. Only the matt black finish is different, giving the bike a more aggressive look. The double member swingarm is also the same, but is painted instead of polished for greater wear resistance.
The 43 mm upside-down Öhlins Racing fork is titanium nitride coated for maximum smoothness. Its advanced design with longer sleeves and shorter fork bottoms reduces load at two critical points, the slide bush and the stanchion to fork bottom coupling). Wheel travel is 120 mm.
Like all top racing forks, the Öhlins allows precision adjustment of compression, rebound and preload.
The forged aluminium calliper mounting accommodates the latest radial callipers in line with the latest GP and SBK practices.
The Öhlins Racing rear monoshock comes directly from Aprilia's competition experience. It incorporates a separate piggy back nitrogen cylinder and provides adjustments for compression, rebound, preload and even length to raise and lower the bike's rear end. Exactly the right setup can therefore be achieved for all riding styles and all track characteristics.
The front and rear suspensions on the 2005 RSV 1000 R Factory have been recalibrated on the basis of experience gained from the Italian Superstock Championship.
Top supersports demand top quality brakes. The RSV 1000 R Factory is at the cutting edge of technology, with radial calliper front brakes developed by Aprilia in conjunction with Brembo. Aprilia is no newcomer to sophisticated radial calliper technology. In fact Aprilia was the first manufacturer to use it, on a 250 GP racer.
The benefits of radial callipers for the rider are:
- More effective braking.
- More precise response to rider input. Wasted lever movement due to calliper 'elasticity' is almost completely eliminated because radial mounting prevents any movement of the calliper itself.
- Longer pad life. Radial callipers ensure better pad to disk alignment because the calliper remains rigidly aligned with its theoretical working position even under extreme stress. Better pad alignment means more even surface wear and therefore longer pad life.
- More consistent braking with less variation in performance between hot and cold.
The 320 mm floating steel disks on the front wheel feature narrower braking surfaces. This means reduced wheel weight and inertia and therefore more agile handling.
The RSV 1000 R Factory's radial callipers are combined with a radial master cylinder to form the most sophisticated braking system fitted to any current production bike.
The rear brakes are Brembo Gold with a 220 mm stainless steel disk and a calliper with two 32 mm pistons.
The front and rear braking circuits both use aeronautical metal braid hoses to eliminate the pressure variations associated with conventional rubber brake lines, guaranteeing maximum braking precision.
What places the Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory in a class of its own is the care taken in its design and manufacture and the attention paid to every single component on the bike. The result is increased performance, better feel and greater ridability, with reduced weight and a quality and finish that no other bike can equal.
An exclusive two chamber steering damper from Öhlins Racing's competition range is fitted as standard. The damper is adjustable to adapt steering response to all possible riding conditions.
Extensive use of carbon components makes the bike far lighter as well as more refined. The mudguards and various fairing parts are made of extremely light woven carbon composite.
The RSV 1000 R Factory also features a steering pin in aluminium instead of steel to help reduce weight.
The Factory's exclusive forged wheels deserve special mention. These are one of the most distinctive features of the bike, not just in appearance, but in technical specifications too.
They are forged in Anticorodal 6061 aluminium using an 8,000 ton hydraulic press.
This manufacturing technique produces wheels that are totally free from the defects and porosity that can always occur in conventional casting processes, and gives exceptional mechanical characteristics.
Finite element analysis was used to identify the best possible wheel design. The result is a six spoke front wheel and a five spoke back wheel with 'Y' profile spokes forking at the wheel rim to provide two anchor points each.
This spoke design is not just a question of looks. It gives excellent lateral and torsional rigidity and thus helps maintain perfect wheel to suspension alignment. On the RSV 1000 R Factory everything has been designed for performance and beauty.
The saving in weight is also exceptional. Each wheel weighs about 25% less than the lightest available wheels made using conventional aluminium casting techniques.
Inertia is therefore also 25% lower than with cast aluminium alloy wheels.
Almost maniacal care has been taken over the RSV 1000 R Factory with attention lavished on even the smallest details. For example, the wheels are anodised instead of painted. This has further reduced weight and ensures that these essential components keep their characteristic finish for the entire life of the bike. Even the wheels' manufacturing data has been engraved instead of embossed to remove material rather than add it, another tiny saving in weight.
Aprilia has also homologated a 5.5 inch rear wheel in addition to the standard 6 inch wheel. The smaller rim gives better support on bends for improved handling and faster response, especially on the track.
Aprilia's loving care has led to the RSV 1000 R Factory weighing in at a dry weight of only 185 kg, an incredible achievement for a twin of this class.
Exclusive components fitted to the RSV 1000 R Factory:
- specially calibrated Öhlins Racing front fork with titanium nitride coatings for perfect sliding action
- Öhlins Racing rear monoshock, specially calibrated for solo riding. Even length may be adjusted as well as preload, compression and rebound.
- two chamber Öhlins Racing steering damper
- carbon fibre front mudguard
- carbon fibre rear mudguard
- carbon fibre fairing air vents
- carbon fibre cockpit fairing spoilers
- carbon fibre fairing cover
- carbon fibre side panels
- forged aluminium front wheel
- forged aluminium rear wheel
The RSV 1000 R Factory features eye-catching new graphics in Aprilia Black, Fluo Red and Mirror Silver. The real news, however, is the brand new graphic on the fairing. A stylised lion symbolises Aprilia's origins, the history of Venice and the history of Aprilia itself. (The lion was one of Aprilia's first logos.) The lion represents exotic places, fearless character, and sporting courage. More than just a graphic, the lion is part of art itself and a universally recognised symbol.

Albany public works employees say grease is clogging up the city's sewage system.
The Public Works department is launching an educational campaign to discourage you from dumping grease down drains or toilets.
They say it becomes a bigger problem during the holiday season and often clogs filters and screens and attaches to other debris.
But grease isn't the only item creating problems in the city's 84 lift stations.
"I can tell you that when we cleaned one station, which hadn't been cleaned for some time, we pulled over 30 tons of material out of it," said Ann Zimmer-Shepherd, Sewer Superintendent. "Everything from carpets to unfortunately dead animals, to big, thick chunks of grease. Any and all things."
Shepherd said the city's sewage system is faring pretty well, but she wants residents to help improve it. She said medications, feminine hygiene products, grease and oils should be properly thrown away and not dumped in drains or toilets.

A federal judge in San Diego ruled that Facebook can exclude users if they install a program that changes its website and swaps out its ads.
There is no fundamental right to use Facebook; users may only obtain a Facebook account upon agreement that they will comply with Facebook's terms, which is unquestionably permissible under the antitrust laws. It follows, therefore, that Facebook is within its rights to require that its users disable certain products before using its website.

- OPEN TABLE POOR BOOKINGOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014Open Table booked a non existent table for us on a day when Smoke was not open.A long way to travel , 3500 miles for nothingI would recommend this to a friend.
- A perfect jazz session, A good menuOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/16/2014Great evening spent at the Smoke. The menu was perhaps a tad 'touristy' with a set cover charge and menu price (9+38) . The dishes were large and consequent yet a clear abundant use of oil. Sadly had the worse table in the place (next to the scene but next to a pillar and some random electrical equipment). Waiter kept hitting my chair and had no way to get out of the way. All in all go there for the jazz!
- KnozzmoeDined on 9/13/2014I'm not necessarily a fan of supper clubs, because usually both the noise level and the attention people pay to what is happening in and nearby their own table distracts from a real appreciation of the music being played. I must admit that Smoke insures quite well that such distraction is non-existent or kept to a bare minimum for the sake of music. The result is a wonderful and enjoyable music experience had by all, most appreciated by the musicians themselves. I highly recommend visiting Smoke.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Jazz Yes, Food ?VillagehopperDined on 9/13/2014To listen to GOOD jazz this is one of the hotspots in NYC. Food is only fair and not the prime reason to go to Smoke. I had a fairly run of the mill burger and my friend had a less than great strip steak. If food is important for the evening dine elsewhere first then enjoy a great evening of jazz at SmokeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never Again!!!!BigTastyDined on 9/12/2014What a waste of time. Too small. Bad service. They made us wait outside for a table and when we got to sit. People are bumping into you. The waiters never check on you. The only food thing was the music which you can't hear over the crowd jammed into a small apartment. We left after only 30 mins.
- Everything surpassed expectationsjustathoughtDined on 9/12/2014If we had gone to SMOKE just for the food, it would have been an outstanding evening, but add exceptional music in an intimate setting with no bad seat in the house and tasty cocktails, and you have one terrific night. We celebrated a friend's birthday with another couple, and our experience exceeded expectations. Just be prepared to spend $100/person. We're a big family, so we can't frequent SMOKE often, but the next special occasion will be the next best excuse to spend another evening on Broadway at 105th.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great jazz club/restaurantIKnowWhatImTalkingAboutDined on 9/11/2014We had a great time from the beginning of our arrival, when our choice of seats was accommodated after they tried to put us in "not so great" spot to watch the band. Also it was my wife's birthday and we were treated to a complimentary glass of champagne ...nice touch. The meal was a pre fix...pretty good deal, good choices except for the dessert which if you are allergic to chocolate is not good. There were other desirable choices which were the same price which we were not allowed to substitute for until we reminded them it was my wife's birthday...then it was "ok then, we can do it". The food was all very good and well presented. The music was excellent. We will go back and recommend Smoke as a great night out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RevelesDined on 9/9/2014Quite good music of old and new fashioned musicians, glory for all that JAZZ. Congratulations and thanks, as also Good food.Special Features:
- Jazz At Its Best!!!!!1JazzyladyDined on 9/5/2014Loved this place! Recommended by a friend, and I was not disappointed. The ambiance, the vibe, and the food were all a perfect combination for me and my husband to celebrate his birthday. We got a treat that night with the sounds of The Sugar Hill Quartet, Patience Higgins, Johnny O'Neal, and the one and only George Coleman. All in one jam session!!!! What a night!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/5/2014They put the music charge sheet wrong, they changed it from 35USD to 40USD.Special Features:
- Jazz Gem!aledDined on 9/2/2014Smoke is easily one of the top five jazz clubs in NYC. We recently went on a Tuesday night and Mike LeDonne and Groover played a killer set! Each player was outstanding, and as a group, there was the kind of listening to each other and playing off each other that happens when jazz masters play together. Dinner was excellent and our server was especially friendly and professional. Smoke takes jazz seriously and, for us, that makes it one very special place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GREAT FOOD AND JAZZ!1KTravelerVIPDined on 9/2/2014I visited Smoke to hear the ever popular Mike LeDonne's Groover Night on Tuesday. First, Smoke has an outstanding vibe and sound system. The owner's are truly into the music, and it shows in the staff and atmosphere. I asked my favorite bartender Tommy to select 3 courses off the Prix Fixe menu, and as always, he made some great choices! The shrimp and watermelon salad featured a light and tangy barbeque sauce which was nice with the sweetness of the watermelon. The main course was a Maryland Softshell Crab sandwich. Delicious! Dessert was a simple, yet satisfying fresh seasonal berries and cream. Smoke is a real gem in the world of jazz clubs. I only wish I lived in NYC or I'd be there all the time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a neighborhood treat!peoriasueDined on 8/30/2014I'm so glad Smoke is in my neighborhood! Fantastic spot. Johnny O'Neal is the real deal. Every night has a different attraction, both early and late. Food is good, sometimes great, and the ambience can't be beat. like having a club in your living room at home--filled with people who really care!Special Features:
- from BelgiumMattcattDined on 8/26/2014My two sons (15, 18yr) and myself were on a week trip to NYC and for my birthday, we made reservations for the 10pm concert. Food was tremendous (but way too much!) and the selection of Belgian-style locally brewed beers highly appreciated. My youngest son not being a jazz fan, has also appreciated the food, the setting, the 'ambiance'. Smoke is highly recommendable and upon a next trip, we'll surely come again.Special Features:
- cool jazz spot, very good foodHSSBODined on 8/25/2014We saw the Marshall Dixon Big Band. They played a bunch of classics and a few originals. Food was very good, and the portions were generous.
- Yummy, jazzy and classy!QuquiUWSDined on 8/25/2014Nice staff, attentive service, food is YUMMY, (BIG appetizers--enough to share) casual, music was fine! (it's a really SMALL restaurant, and we saw a 12 piece band crammed into a tiny stage area, so it was LOUD that night, but it is a place for jazz aficionados, so just enjoy...Special Features:
- Amazing jazzNYCDinerDined on 8/23/2014Food is good, jazz is some of the best I've heard in the US. It's like going to an intimate professional jazz concert. Highly recommend for any music fans.Special Features:
- Phenomenal EntertainmentBaylorFanDined on 8/21/2014Went to see The Baylor Project. Took the train from Philadelphia for the show. It's a straight ride with about a 3 block walk at the end. We sat at the bar but there really wasn't a bad seat. The venue is small but the wait staff seem to make it work. There are minimums for drink and food depending on the time you go and whether you were at a table or the bar, but that is met pretty easily. Having spent a number of years in NYC, I knew that it was going to be pricey and was prepared for it. The food was really good. We have fried shrimp and Lamp sliders. Met some friends there who had salads and pasta and said their food was also good. The music was phenomenal, the crowd lively, and service was fantastic.Special Features:
- Loved ItSassy60Dined on 8/21/2014We loved Smoke Jazz. The food was great, and The Baylor Project outstanding. Our only concern was the tight schedule required to get in three sets for the show. Our food took longer to prepare, definitely worth waiting for, but we felt rushed to finish it since we knew the set was almost over and it was time for a new group of guests to come in.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meal and great musicOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/21/2014We loved the band - the Baylor Project. The fried chicken was fantastic.Special Features:
- ArtyGrisDined on 8/20/2014We enjoy very much the place and the music. We are grom Mexico but we feelt at home, so relax. The level of the noise in general, and the music particulary is perfect. Congratulations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Summer Dinner and JazzHerculesDined on 8/20/2014I stayed in midtown so the trip to this location was fairly long. This is a small restaurant so seating is very close, make a reservation so you have a seat. The food was ok, the music was good. I'd come here again.Special Features:
- Excellent experienceTheRemedy42Dined on 8/19/2014The owner and staff was friendly. The service was excellent. Me and my date enjoyed the smooth jazz. The food was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Super Music and dining venueMEDSDined on 8/18/2014This is the second time we dined at SMOKE, and it lived up to our expectation of terrific music, and great food. Loved the Captain Black Big Band and the delicious lemon chicken and popcorn shrimp. This is a "must go to" night spot for fine dining and amazing music!!Special Features:
- Great food and music!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/18/2014This is a small intimate space. Both my date and I had the prix fixe meal. For appetizer, I had the garden salad while my date had the lamb sliders. We both had the lemon chicken dish as the entree. We both loved the food. On stage was Captain Black's Big Band. They were amazing to say the least. We were a little upset about the service though. Our waiter rarely came over to us and instead focused on tables around us. While we were first to arrive and first to order our food, we were the very last to receive our food. At the end of the set, we were still eating because of the late arrival of our food. However, we were being rushed to finish and leave. This needs to be looked at by the manager.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Smoke is smokin'!NickBDined on 8/18/2014Smoke is one of NYC's best jazz clubs, hosting well known players and up and comers. They maintain an excellent website and reservation list. The food is excellent. On a recent visit, the southern fried chicken, tomato and mozzarella app and mixed berry desert was excellent, and while the other tables around me seemed happy with their food, too, remember you're at Smoke for the music. It's a small room with wonderful acoustics. You won't be disappointed. BTW, don't go if you need to entertain guests or a date with endless talk about yourself, how much you think you know about jazz or how successful you are in your career. It's not respectful to the musicians and those of us around you don't care.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spot, great entertainmentDinerDined on 8/15/2014I really liked our evening here. The food was ok but not the centre point. Y have to come here for the live music and general atmosphere. Definitely recommendSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great music, great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/12/2014I enjoyed the intimate feel of Smoke. The music was great and the was also very good. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially to someone who like listening to live jazz music.Special Features:
- Smoking Jazzlive4artsDined on 8/11/2014Brought international clients for Monday night open mike and it was wonderful. One of my favorite NYC spots to bring people for both great culture and food - especially if I want to impress or romance a special lady.

ATLANTA -- After listening to Doc Rivers lecture the Boston Celtics at halftime, Paul Pierce told his teammates to respect their coach and follow orders.
"We were kind of bickering at each other a little bit too much, figuring out what defence we were going to run," Pierce said. "And I just had to say that the fight ain't with one another. It's against the other team on the court."
The Celtics responded in the second half, with Rajon Rondo finishing off a triple double as Boston rallied for an 89-81 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night.
Pierce scored 17 of his 26 points in the third quarter as the Celtics erased a 19-point deficit and went on to consecutive wins for the first time since late November against Oklahoma City and Orlando. Rondo had 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.
Boston, which beat Indiana 94-75 on Friday night, had lost four straight road games.
Rivers insisted that despite the first-half struggles against the Hawks, the game plan would not change.
"I was like, 'This ain't it, don't get mad at Doc, he's coaching,"' Pierce said. "We've got to get mad at this other team."
Lou Williams scored 21 of his 28 points in the first half for Atlanta, which has lost two straight. Jeff Teague added 17 points, and Josh Smith, who was 2 for 12 in the second half, finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
The Hawks got off to a fast start, then fell apart in the third quarter as Boston began doubling ballhandlers on the perimeter and clamping down on Atlanta inside.
"They just climbed up in us defensively," Teague said. "They got physical and they brought pressure and got us out of our comfort zone. We just didn't respond."
The Celtics trailed by 19 with 6:20 left in the second, but went up 61-60 on Jared Sullinger's alley-oop layup with 3:47 left in the third. It was their first lead since the game's first minute.
Boston opened the third with a 14-1 run to pull within one. Hawks coach Larry Drew, whose team missed its first five shots from the field to begin the second half, called timeout at the 7:29 mark, but Teague lost the ball out of the bounds on the ensuing possession.
Atlanta, which had 13 turnovers and three assists in the second half, was just 2 for 14 from the field in the third and trailed 71-62 heading to the final period.
Kevin Garnett's fast-break layup with 8:53 remaining gave the Celtics their first double-digit lead at 79-68. Garnett finished with 14 points.
"The second half was completely different," Rivers said. "We worked the set. The first play went from one side to the other on offence. On defence they were late in the shot clock because Avery (Bradley) and Rondo both were up ball pressuring. And it changed the game for us."
Williams had outscored the Celtics 13-10 by the 5:47 mark of the first, connecting on his first seven shots from the field. His 16th point came on a layup for Atlanta's first double-digit lead at 23-12 late in the first.
But the Hawks could not overcome the absence of injured shooting guards Devin Harris and Anthony Morrow. Kyle Korver then fouled out with 6:37 remaining, and DeShawn Stevenson played only 13 minutes because of sore knees.
Drew called it "probably the most disappointing loss of the season" considering the Hawks have gone soft with big leads all season and backed down from the team that eliminated them in the first round of the playoffs last season.
"We've seen this kind of scenario before where we've played well and then when it starts to get more physical, we don't respond," Drew said. "That was clearly what happened tonight."
Jason Terry, in his first season with Boston and 13th overall, credited Pierce with backing up Rivers and straightening out the team's collective attitude.
"We took the challenge," Terry said. "We took it personal. You come in at halftime, and Lou Williams has 21 points, primarily all easy baskets. He was just letting them fly. So we wanted to invade his space. As we did that, we started to get more and more stops.
"Paul Pierce got it rolling. He really made his imprint on the game."
NOTES: Korver fouled out for the first time in 27 games this season and finished with nine points. ... Atlanta scored 31 points in the first quarter, tying for the highest by a Boston opponent and the most since the Celtics opened the season Oct. 30 at Miami. ... The Hawks' nine points in the third were a season low by a Boston opponent. ... Harris missed his ninth straight game with a sore left foot. ... Morrow was sidelined for the fifth straight game because of a strained right hip.

The family of missing Modesto woman Laci Peterson firmed up plans Thursday for a weekend search, while her in-laws held a press conference to say what they were doing to find her.
A Modesto police spokesman said Wednesday night that he knew of no "imminent" arrest or other break in the Laci Peterson case. Detective Doug Ridenour's comment came in response to a television report that an arrest "could come in a matter of weeks." In fact, Ridenour said, there were no new developments to report in the missing person case that began Christmas Eve.
First someone broke into Scott Peterson's house, and now someone has bashed in the door at his warehouse.
Feb. 10 was supposed to have been a joyous date in Laci Peterson's life.
Today is the day Laci Peterson's family expected her to give birth to a son.
Large-scale searches for Modesto's Laci Peterson ended weeks ago. Now her family is trying to get the ball rolling again.
Laci Peterson's Land Rover became her family's property on Tuesday.
Modesto police said Saturday they had no new developments in their investigation into Laci Peterson's disappearance.
There's no way of knowing how many people paused Friday night to light a candle, flip on a porch light or offer a silent prayer for missing mom-to-be Laci Peterson and her unborn son.
Scott Peterson's eyes often shifted to the side when an interviewer asked him a difficult question.
Family members of Laci Peterson, a pregnant Modesto woman who has been missing since Christmas Eve, are asking people around the world to light a candle for her and her unborn son, Connor, at 7 p.m. Pacific time today.
LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) - Police plan to begin reviewing surveillance tapes from a grocery store where a clerk came forward late last week to say she believes she saw a missing, pregnant California woman sometime in December. The Daily News of Longview reported Thursday that the clerk told police a pregnant woman came into Market Place in this southwest Washington town and said: "This is serious. I was kidnapped. Call the authorities when I leave."
Scott Peterson conducted several televised interviews at his home on Wednesday, address-ing numerous allegations and rumors surrounding the investigation into the disappearance of his wife, Laci.
Selling fertilizer would appear to be an easy job in the San Joaquin Valley, where agriculture is the No. 1 industry.
Modesto police refused Tuesday to comment on Scott Peterson's claim that he told them Christmas Eve about his affair with Amber Frey.
If Laci Peterson has been killed, statistics say she was likely slain by someone close to her.
John Walsh, the host of TV's "The John Walsh Show" and "America's Most Wanted," said he has pleaded with Scott Peterson to answer questions and make a public statement.
SOLANA BEACH -- Two things greeted visitors Saturday morning at 1508 Santa Sabina Court:
Amber Frey's father says his daughter's life has been turned upside down by her brief relationship with Scott Peterson, who she thought was single.
A 28-year-old Fresno woman said Friday she had a romantic relationship with Scott Peterson, whose pregnant wife has been missing since Christmas Eve.
A baby-shower date for Laci Peterson came and went with no party. The expectant mother, though, is still listed on a gift registry at Babies R Us.
The Laci Peterson case took a dramatic twist Friday when a 28-year-old single mother acknowledged having a recent romantic relationship with Scott Peterson.

Modesto's Laci Peterson has been missing for a month.
Modesto police reported Wednesday that a suspect has been identified in a Saturday burglary at Scott and Laci Peterson's house.

Dennis Rocha says he knows he is living "every parent's nightmare."
Burglars broke into Scott and Laci Peterson's home while he was in Los Angeles organizing an effort to find his missing wife, police said.
Scores of volunteers posted fliers in Los Angeles on Sunday as Scott Peterson took the effort to find his wife to Southern California.
Investigators in San Luis Obispo said Saturday they found no link between Scott Peterson and a missing Cal Poly student.
Volunteers who have worked daily since Christmas to help search for Laci Peterson have closed their Modesto center and canceled plans to open a temporary center in Los Angeles.
San Luis Obispo detectives are looking at Scott Peterson in connection with the disappearance of a college student nearly seven years ago.
Modesto police told Laci Peterson's family that her husband was having an affair and recently took out a $250,000 life insurance policy on her, a family member said Thursday.
No matter how dismal the reports are from police in the Laci Peterson disappearance, people at the volunteer search center are holding out hope that the Modesto woman is alive.
From the moment a missing-person case begins, detectives are in a race against time.
Volunteers will expand their effort to find Laci Peterson to Southern California this weekend, organizers said Monday.
The effort to find Laci Peterson shifted back to the Northern San Joaquin Valley on Sunday, 24 hours after an intensive search of the San Francisco Bay turned up only a boat anchor.
As Amy Harper changes the sheets on her 6-month-old daughter's crib, she thinks about Laci Peterson, the Modesto woman who has been missing since Dec. 24.
Laci Peterson's family got the word first: The mystery object in San Francisco Bay was an anchor, not a body.
Modesto police Sgt. Ron Cloward confirmed at 3:20 p.m. Saturday that a mystery object in San Francisco Bay had been identified as an anchor.
Divers plan to return to San Francisco Bay today to determine if an object found two days ago is a body.

The search for Laci Peterson has expanded beyond the Berkeley Marina and the Highway 132 corridor, police said Sunday.
For almost two weeks, more than 1,000 people have signed up to pass out fliers or to search neighborhoods for Laci Peterson, the pregnant woman who disappeared Christmas Eve.
Search dogs and scuba divers came up empty Saturday in the water and on the shore of San Francisco Bay, as the investigation continued into the disappearance of Modesto's Laci Rocha Peterson.
Self-styled psychics, tarot card readers and pet communicators are offering their skills to help locate Laci Peterson, the expectant Modesto mother who was reported missing Christmas Eve.
Sharon Rocha lies in a hospital bed at Doctors Medical Center in Modesto, woozy from the combination of painkillers and pain. It is May 4, 1975.

RALEIGH, NC- Fans think covering the NCAA tournament is glamorous for the hundreds of journalists at the arena. While it can be fun and you get to witness magic moments (like Mercer over Duke), you also end up spending the majority of your day getting to know the bowels of the arena...places the public doesn't see on tv.

Comments about Exustar SM306 Mountain Shoes:
These are my first pair of "real" bike shoes. Maybe I should have ordered a 1/2 size smaller. But with the help of a gel insole they fit just fine. Love the ratchet strap for custom feel and fit. Have worn them now on 3 10+ mile mountain bike rides and 2 30+ mile road rides and have had no discomfort. On my last mountain bike ride I had given all my tools, patch kit and extra tube to someone else so as luck would have it, I had a flat tire and had to walk about 3/4 of a mile back to the truck. I know these are mountain bike shoes and will not feel like regular shoes, but I experienced no pain during the walk out or afterwards as far as that goes.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I like it.
By Jaybird
from Indianapolis, IN
Very nice shoe. Lighweight and comfortable. I particularly like the adjustable strap across the top of the foot. Allows you to get the shoe tight but not uncomfortable.
Seems like a good shoe, if only it fit
By Not Happy
from Austin, TX
About Me Casual/ Recreational
I tried on several shoes at a local bike shop, different makers and different styles. 44 fit the best so that's what I ordered. Shipment arrives, put on the shoes and crank the ratchet down but very loose. Back they go to Nashbar. A few weeks later (yes, it takes that long, and I'm only in TX) 43's arrive and the exact same problem. I wear 10.5 shoe so even the sizing chart in the box says 43 or 44 should fit. Maybe these are for wide feet, which I don't have. If you are exchanging shoes for a different size YOU WILL PAY RETURN SHIPPING. Yes, that's $6.95 each exchange or return. I've tried 2 sizes that didn't work, $13.90 in additional shipping. After trying the 43's I cut my losses returned for refund. I should have just bought local and paid a little more. I'm a fan of Nashbar, first ordered from them in 2006, but their shoe exchange policy and shipping times make it pointless unless you are positive of fit before ordering or unless you have a couple months before wanting to use them.Shoe quality seemed fine.
Great deal
By John
from Maryville, IL
I bought these because of the price and reviews.Forget the sizing concerns....I wear a 9 or 91/2; my last shoes were sloppy at EU43; Nashbar sizing put me at 42 or 43; so I ordered the 42 (since reviews said they ran big). They actually felt tight and a little short, but I decided they would break in (and I didn't want the hassle of return/replace).Just took a test ride and they felt great....comfortable, stiff sole, light.
A great buy
By Hot trod
from Los Angeles, Ca
I found them to be worth the price. I wear a size 12, got them in size 47, and it was a match made in heaven. I would have been happy to pay more for these.
Too Big
By bikerdon
from Apison, TN
Thought it was time to replace my 7 year old shimano shoes and found these for a great price. Used the sizing chart next to the item and chose size 45, which should compare to a 10.5 US. These shoes were so big that I couldn't ratchet them down or tighten the straps enough without swimming in the shoe. I should have read the reviews on the other Exustar shoes because everyone is saying they run big. Even though they are not worth the suggested retail they should do alright at the sale price, so I am exchanging them for a size smaller. Curious that a little pamphlet included in the box had a different comparison that showed a 45 as being like an 11.5 US. Oh well, life goes on.
There was a problem adding this item to your cart.

And of course, despite the damage she caused both the UK and the world at large, she will be given a state funeral...
You might want to try checking your facts before posting. Here's a hint: No she won't.
And of course, despite the damage she caused both the UK and the world at large, the Labour Party hacks will be out in force with nary a bad word to be said. (That's 'cause "New" Labour is just another party of capitalism, no longer socialism, if it ever was.)
She did some damage, she did some good (generally speaking, the ones who claim nothing beyond the damage are those who didn't suffer the three day working week and its ilk). Such is the way of politicians. She made some tough decision that had to be made, she made some bloody awful decisions that we are still feeling the repercussions of today.
In the end, she made a large impact on world politics exactly when a large impact was required. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I'm not sure what the world stage would be like now if we'd had one of the current spineless idiots in charge in the latter days of the cold war.

It is hard to capture what the JCCA New Year`s Meet is in pictures, even if you took video it is impossible to understand what an amazing event it is. The constant sound of carburetors, the smell of unburnt gasoline wafting through the air, it is truly Kyusha heaven. It is such a laid back atmosphere, you come across amazing vehicles like this Yon Meri on Equips, the owner brought his family out to the event and the kids were just chilling in the back.
Perhaps my favorite time is right when the show is ending and everyone is headed home. There is more room to shoot and everything is bathed in this amazing orange glow from the setting sun over Tokyo. It is times like this when cars like this gold 2000GT show the true depth of their color. I just stopped and took a few moments to admine this car in all its glory.
During this time cars are constantly moving around the lot and having small gatherings with their comrades. This B110 Sunny was heading out to parts unknown after chatting with his friends for a bit. Check out the size of that rear tire!
This 510 attends every year, the owner decided to use some modern TE37s instead of vintage rims, it also has a full bolt in cage. I wouldn`t mind seeing this thing on the track

Health & Baby
Beware the Know It Alls: How to Handle Unsolicited Baby Advice
The battlefield: Tamara Derosia's baby shower. The fighting words: Baby wipe warmer.
Oh sure, for those who worry about global warming, the recession, and house foreclosures, this might seem, um, silly. But certainly, it wasn't that way for the two women who were driven to debate the device -- baby's comfort versus frivolous financial waste.
"I was somewhat stunned," says Derosia, the creative director in the Atlanta office of the public relations firm Cohn & Wolfe. "Each side was defended with such passionate conviction you would have thought we were discussing something that could potentially affect the child's health, development, and future."
For those who are pregnant, you think you're a pro -- you've endured the patting of strangers, the prying questions about your "birth plan," your baby's name, and whether you're going to breastfeed. Eyebrows raise every time you go near alcohol, coffee, Diet Coke, soft cheese, shellfish. Suggestions have been made about what you should do with your cat -- once a furry little friend, now carrier of horrible pregnancy outcomes.
And yet, you are still a rank amateur. Once Bouncing Baby arrives, you will discover that everything -- how baby sleeps, what baby eats, why baby cries -- is up for open, public debate.
Right down to the humble baby wipe warmer.
"There are so many people who want to direct you on how to be a good mom," says Debbie Thompson. Thompson is a pediatric nurse practitioner and a neonatal specialist at Children's Medical Center, Dallas. "Much of the advice is helpful," she says. "But a parent must remember that each child is unique."
OK, that sounds good -- and most parents believe they can stay sane under stress. But take a couple of months of sleepless nights, a week without a shower, and an inconsolable baby in a Target aisle -- and a parent should be nominated for sainthood for not lunging at passers-by who feel the need to dole out helpful hints.
"With the first one, we got a ton of unsolicited advice about everything under the sun," says Daniel Hallac, a New York City dad of two. Hallac is also co-founder of kid mondo.com, a website that lets parents journal, store first photos, and keep growth charts. "It really freaked us out trying to deal with all of it."
Try dealing with twice the advice.
Shari Schmidt, of Palos Hills, Ill., has twins, now 4 years old. She's been "coached" on sleep schedules, matching outfits, baby food, and haircuts.
"My family was -- and still is -- horrified that the girls didn't like meat. My grandmother was worried their teeth wouldn't develop properly. My mother was worried it would stunt their growth," Schmidt, a marketing consultant, says. "Our pediatrician is OK with it, and so are we. Everyone else thinks it is a form of child abuse not to feed the girls Chicken McNuggets. I'm sure all parents receive lots of unwanted advice. But it seems to come at me like a tidal wave."

Three Candidates for Debian Project Leader
Three developers have applied for the post of Debian Project Leader (DPL). The current project leader, Sam Hocevar, is not campaigning for re-election.
The three candidates have launched their campaigns by posting their own ideas for the project on their websites:
Steve McIntyre is the oldest of the three and joined Debian in 1996. He campaigned for election in 2006 and 2007. One of his major objectives would be to improve communication within the project. He criticizes the fact that the previous project leaders have not been able to keep their promises in this respect. He would like people involved to ask for help if they are unable to fulfill the targets they have set themselves, before reality catches up with them. He views this as one of the main problems that affects the free Linux distribution: "Working effectively is not just important for our own gratification; it also makes a major impact on how long we take to release and the experience our users have with using Debian."
Frenchman Raphael Hertzog has been with the project since 1998 and campaigned for the post of project leader in 2002 and 2007. Hertzog is a self-employed developer and, just like last year, he would like to install a separate DPL committee – if he is elected -- in order to distribute responsibilities and thus to achieve project objectives more easily. One thing that is new is that Hertzog would like to restrict the committee to three people. Another of Hertzog's goals is to improve external Debian's visibility and to attract more help for the project.
Marc Brockschmidt is 22 years old and the youngest of the three candidates, having joined the Debian project in 2004. He is a student of computer science in Aachen, Germany. His objectives as a potential project leader include improving public perception of the free distribution. Although he believes that internal communications can't really be improved, he is interested in achieving a better exchange. For example, he seeks to open the "-devel" mailing list to anyone who is interested, and to improve interactions with Debian derivatives, such as Ubuntu.
The canvassing period is between March 9 and 30, and the candidates' proposals will be discussed on the Internet during this time. The elections will be held between March 30 and April 13 with the new project leader officially taking up office April 17. The election is based on the fairly complex Condorcet method. The next project leader will probably be responsible for the next stable version 5.0, codename "Lenny", which is due for release this year.

Forward Appeared in Eight Games for Providence
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins, in their 18th year in the American Hockey League, announced that they have released forward Ned Lukacevic from his Professional Tryout Agreement. With the move, the P-Bruins have 25 players on their roster, including 15 forwards, eight defensemen and two goaltenders.
Lukacevic, 24, returns to the ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers after appearing in eight games for Providence. With the P-Bruins, the left wing scored four points, including two goals and two assists. Both of his goals came on March 14 against the Binghamton Senators, earning him second star honors.
At the time of his March 11 recall, Lukacevic ranked seventh in the ECHL with 62 points, including 25 goals and 37 assists in 59 games for Las Vegas. He was also second on the Wranglers in points and tied for first in goals, both career-highs.
The native of Podgorica, Serbia, spent the majority of the 2008-09 season in Providence after being traded by the Philadelphia Flyers with a 2009 conditional draft pick to the Boston Bruins for defenseman Andrew Alberts on October 13, 2008. Lukacevic went on to appear in 52 regular season games for the P-Bruins last season, registering three goals and five assists. He added one assist in eight postseason contests. Lukacevic also suited up for 13 contests with the ECHL's Reading Royals, recording four goals and three assists.
Providence welcomes the Manchester Monarchs into The Dunk on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. for a Family Game. Fans can buy one ticket, hot dog and soda for one low price. To purchase 2009-10 Flex Tix or individual game tickets, please call the P-Bruins ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at providencebruins.com.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) – The first of two debates between Congressman Fred Upton and challenger Mike O'Brien was held Monday night at Western Michigan University's Knauss Hall.
Among the sparring that took place between the candidates last night, there was one particular conflict that is raising many eyebrows today. Democratic candidate Mike O'Brien made affirming statements on educational funding on two separate occasions during the debate, however he appeared to have disagreed with himself.
Early in the debate, both candidates were asked, "Is there a government program that you support and think is worthwhile, but that you would be willing to reduce spending for in order to reach a compromise for debt reduction?" Congressman Upton had the first chance to answer saying, in short, that discretionary spending should be analyzed across the board, however, he supports bringing the troops home that would in turn alleviate $100 billion dollars in government spending. Answering the same question, candidate Mike O'Brien answered, "That's easy, I would say education." O'Brien went on to say, "There are a lot of redundant programs in the Department of Education. There are a lot of requirements that are actually burdening school districts, schools and teachers. We can reduce some of that."
The troubling portion, for those closely following the debate, came later in the night when O'Brien answered the question, "What is the most important investment this country should make to ensure the well-being of our children?" O'Brien answers that education is the most important investment and that it, "is the most important thing this country can do." O'Brien went on to challenging Upton to vow that he would not support any budget cuts to funding education K-12. Watch above for footage of O'Brien's answers as well as footage of the candidates answering both questions in their entirety.
The contradiction between O'Brien's answers was quickly pointed out by Upton supporters attending the debate noting that O'Brien first said he wanted to closely analyze the educational budget and cut unnecessary spending, but he then declared to never support any financial reductions for education because it is "the country's most important investment".
Congressman Upton did not point out O'Brien's contradiction on educational funding during the debate; however, the inconsistencies in O'Brien's answers look to be the leading issue from those supporting Upton's campaign.
Monday night's debate was put on by WMUK and MLive/Kalamazoo Gazette. The next debate is scheduled for October 23rd at the Cook Nuclear Power Plant in Buchanan, MI. WKZO will be providing a live stream available at WKZO.com.

Recipe from Good Food magazine, November 2008
Comments, questions and tips
Recently bought a food processor and wanted to try out the various blades. Didn't want to waste the veg I had chopped so made a take on this soup. Used leek, potato, sweet potato, carrot, onion & courgette. It was all quite small pieces, made 500ml of veg stock and simmered for about 15mins. (I didn't use any oil as the veg was very small.) Then blended it - OMG! It was gorgeous. Can't wait for tea tonight with homemade bread made at the weekend.
I have made this for several weeks in a row, just using up what I had left over plus different spices. These included peppers, spring onions, carrots, swede, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes onions and potatoes. All very tasty but I felt that swede gave a particularly good flavour. The last batch was a bit bland so I added cumin, chilli and ground coriander. It's great to have a recipe that really stops you wasting anything. A few mashes with a potato masher before using the stick blender really helps. I always feel very virtuous eating this with my homemade bread.
Used this recipe mainly for inspiration as I had a strange selection of veg lurking in the fridge! 1 onion, 1 yellow pepper, 1 courgette, half a small squash and 3 new potatoes...fried the onions first with a little leftover curry paste (also lurking in fridge) added veg and stock then blitzed. Really delicious and low fat to boot...served with toasted wholemeal pitta.
This recipe is extremely versatile indeed!
I created carrot & parsnip, leek & potato and parsnip & potato soups all using the above as a base. I just made sure all my vegetables combined weighed in at 500g then made 700ml stock. I used to food processor so once it had all simmered, I seperated the veg from the stock, whizzed the veg in a food processor and then added it back to the stock.
carrots, parsnips, half a cabbage, broccolli, onion, swede, ground, cumin & coriander 2 cloves of garlic, chilli, and 1L stock simmered & blended - yummilicious.. with crusty bread. froze in batches..No potatoes added. Perfect. although i didnt follow the recipe closely as I wanted to use what I had it inspired me nonetheless! Thanks..
I used 500g casserole pack, 600g potatoes, 3 rashers smoked back bacon, 80g lentils, 2 teaspoons chilli flakes, ground pepper, 1500ml chicken stock - fried bacon and chilli flakes first then added veg for 5-10 mins before adding stock and pepper - delicious though next time will reduce amount of bacon as very smokey. Great way to use up veg destined for the bin!
Made soup today - it was lovely. I've used:
4 potatoes, 4 carrots, 1 small sweed, 2 small onions, 3 parsnips and a handful of frozen peppers and 2 cloves of garlic with salt and pepper to taste. I fried onion and garlic first then all the veg. Made a large pan full and once I'd blended it, it's a lovely thick tasty soup - mmmmm!!
I've never made a soup before, and this was easy and great for using up the leftovers of veg.. I used 3 Potatoes, A large parsnip, carrots, leek, onion, garlic and a few slices of fresh root ginger with some grated nutmeg and seasoning.. I like it! The rest of the house are yet to try it, fingers crossed!
I cooked potaoes, 2 small cloves of garlic, leeks, parsnips and swede. I mashed them all together as don't have a blender then added veg stock to the right consintency so can be adjusted accordingly to however thick you want the soup to be. Then added a teaspoon of medium curry powder and fresh parsley and it is delicious :)
