Although the fig vinegar is a little pricey, it makes this salad spectacular. I found it at Whole Foods for anybody looking for it. Wild rice is a little expensive also so next time I will use a wild rice blend. A definite repeater is our house!
Chicken and Wild Rice Salad with Almonds
cookuplight Posted: 03/19/10
AmberN Posted: 12/29/09
This is a great recipe. I used some leftover roasted turkey and it was a very refreshing use of leftovers. I also threw in some diced bell pepper (had some on hand) and used a long grain and wild rice mix that I cooked according to package directions with chicken broth. I let it set in the fridge overnight and it was definitely better the next day. Will definitely make again!
tranquila3 Posted: 01/03/10
A friend of mine brought this salad to my potluck dinner, and it was fantastic. He actually omitted the chicken, and it was a perfect side dish for the pecan-crusted chicken that we had. The flavors were rich and the colors were perfect for late fall. Beautiful and delicious!
ViennaVAfoodie Posted: 02/06/10
This was great! We only used 1 cup of rice to cut back on the amount of carbohydrates and it still turned out well. My rice though didn't cook as directed in the recipe, my rice actually called for way more broth than the recipe so check the package on your rice! I just added some additional water and put it back on the heat. I had fig vinegar and the dressing really made this recipe!
mkwescott Posted: 02/22/10
This was a simple, healthy and delicious recipe. We ate it hot because we were so hungry but it is delicious both hot and cold. Makes a lot of salad so plenty for lunch leftovers for a couple days for my hubby and me.
franMc Posted: 04/18/10
Fabulous as written. It was worth seeking out the fig vinegar. The dressing could stand on its own with a salad.
PattiTN Posted: 11/23/09
My family really enjoyed this -- especially my husband. We used the white wine vinegar rather than the fig, and substituted scallions for the red onion and cashews for the almonds. Iused the 6 oz. Uncle Ben's long grain and wild rice, without the seasoning packet and used 2 1/4 cups of broth.
JennySmith Posted: 12/13/09
This recipe was quite easy to make, and tasty. I used white wine vinegar and ended up using more chicken broth (whole can) and cooking my wild rice longer (15 mins) because my rice was still crunchy by the time it was supposed to be done. The nice thing about this recipe is that we typically have everything on hand, except for the wild rice, so this makes it an easy go-to meal. I served the salad warm and I thought it was quite tasty that way with the tangy dressing to complement.
adelsite Posted: 03/29/10
Outstanding recipe.
Saecca Posted: 12/31/09
Yum yum yum! So amazingly good! The combination of the sweet cranberries, the tart sauce, and the toasted almonds is great. I couldn't find fig vinegar, so I used white wine, but it was still fabulous. Its a nice change from salad to a rice, and all the veggies blend perfectly. Would make again!
ibetravlin Posted: 01/13/11
Wonderful flavor and texture. Used frozen grilled chicken strips to save time, wild/brown rice blend from bulk food section and white wine vinegar. We don't like celery and almost didn't include, but loved it in this salad. Made rice the night before in rice cooker to cool in fridge then threw everything together for dinner. It would be great for a potluck or brunch. Plan to make a full batch next week for work lunches.
tigrrrl Posted: 01/03/10
Excellent! This would be perfect for a picnic/concert/potluck/on the go lunch. I splurged for the fig vinegar (Whole Foods) and bought the wild rice and slivered almonds from the bulk bins ($ saver). I wouldn't change a thing, but I'm sure substitutions can be made and it will still taste great!
DianeDellarmo Posted: 11/24/09
I just made this tonight and my husband and I LOVED it! It was easy and delicious. I actually served it warm (right after the chicken and rice were done cooking) and the combination with the crunchy vegetables and the sweetness of the cranberries and the dressing was outstanding! I did use fig vinegar which was perfect! I would recommend just sprinkling the nuts (untoasted) on top before serving (the chopped, toasted nuts got lost in the dish). It will become a staple for us, but I would also serve for company!
2louanne Posted: 02/11/10
This is unbelievable. All of the flavors blend so well, this will be my Valentine day dinner. I made this as listed, without any alterations, because it did not need any tweeking. I am just glad I had dinner before making this or I do not think I would have any left. Thank you
JKL137 Posted: 07/09/10
Very good and easy to make. Shredded a rotisserie chicken I picked up from the store in place of the chicken in the recipe. Cooked the rice in a rice cooker.
Pamela85 Posted: 04/17/10
Excellent! This is a great salad. I make it exactly as written except I substitute edamame for celery because we don't like celery. It's very filling and keeps well for several days. I took it to a church picnic and they all loved it too. I'll be making this a lot!
hollyaustin1 Posted: 06/07/11
Great easy recipe. Husband and kids all asked for seconds. I used a rotisserie chicken, added red bell pepper, left almonds slivered, and served on a bed of baby arugula. Otherwise, it needed no changes. Definitely a keeper.
SuzieLeo Posted: 08/31/11
Easy to make and wonderful flavors. Even the kids liked it!
ChefAmandaLynn Posted: 12/15/11
Joe loved this, it was pretty easy to make since I used leftover chicken. I thought this could use a little more flavor, but I used white balsamic vinegar rather than fig vinegar, now I want to find some to make this again.
ChefLeesher Posted: 02/26/12
I used the Wild Rice/Brown Rice mix as just plain wild rice costs a fortune. I also opted to serve this over baby spinach for dinner. We thought it could use a touch of lemon but otherwise really yummy. Dont leave out the celery or the cranberries! Something I will take to the beach with us this Summer.
Tumbles Posted: 03/19/12
Delicious. I couldn't find fig vinegar at my regular grocer so I substituted fig preserves in place of the sugar in the vinaigrette. Very tasty, will make the dressing again for other things in the future. I used rotisserie chicken breasts but this would be perfectly fine without it.
NRecipes Posted: 06/04/13
So good! Only used 1 cup of wild rice, didn't toast the almonds, and poached/shredded the chicken. Found fig vinegar at Whole Foods - worth it! Great hot or cold.
pdxoxs Posted: 01/21/13
For this recipe I ended up increasing the ingredients ⅓ c. because I had extra chicken and rice that I didn't want to waste, which increased my overall servings of the dish from 6 to 8. I used white wine vinegar since I had it at home, as-well-as I couldn't find fig vinegar, but I certainly look forward to this alternative when I remake this recipe. Overall this recipe was simply delicious, and worth every star I gave it. It was not only easy to make, especially since I used a rice cooker, but it was inexpensive and delicious as left overs. The most expensive part was the rice (mine at 5.49 a box), but worth every penny to get the pure wild rice box, adding other varieties would have dulled down the flavor. I tried this recipe both hot and cold, and usually I don't like cold chicken, but in this circumstance I thought that this recipe was better cold. I look forward to making this again in the Summer.
Missbluvs2coox Posted: 08/17/14
I made this without changing a thing. I did use white wine vinegar. I tasted, and knew something was missing. I chose to add about 1/2 cup Marzetti's spinach salad dressing and tossed. It kicked it over the top!!!
LorriS0211 Posted: 07/20/13
Loved this recipe. I doubled it, added a can of chickpeas, omitted the red onion and used regular balsamic vinegar. My daughters took it to work for their lunches and even my husband liked it for dinner. I now am passing the recipe on to my Mom so she can try it. Definitely is a keeper!
Ebodle78 Posted: 05/14/14
I have never written a review before but decided to for this recipe because it was just so good! Followed recipe exactly and it turned out great. I would definitely take this as a dish to a special occasion. The fig vinegar is awesome!

I sometimes have trouble expressing myself
My words at times are misleading
Like when I wanted to relate to my grandson
The car that passed us was speeding
These are the words that actually came out
"That car is EXPEEDING THE SKIMLIT"!
He looked at me strangely and rolled his eyes
And said "My grandpa's a dimwit"!
My sister is afflicted with a similar disease
Passing some orange groves one day
Told us the row of rundown shacks
Is where "The MIGRAINE WORKERS stay"!
Another winner from my dear lovable sister
The doc said there's a chance that maybe
Because her daughter was having such difficulty
"They might have to SEDUCE THE BABY"!
One more of these gems then I really must go
I was trying to describe this little tike
"Look over there," I told my dear wifey-poo
"At that KID ON A RED-HAIRED BIKE"!

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Not easy - but that's what the race notes said!In full: I'm baffled by the problems other people seem to have had. Maybe an absolute beginner would have an excuse, but beyond that the race did what it said it would! Yes, the last minute course change was a shame and meant that there was a lot of road - but what's the alternative; cancel on the morning?Yes, there was a short queue to sign in, but you're about to run 30-miles, HTFU!!!Agree with the comment about someone recording runners as they got to the turn around - would make it easy to cheat - but who enters these things to cheat anyway?As for lack of water - if you run out, that's your own stupid fault. It's your own responsibility to keep hydrated. They never promised lots of water stops, yet with the route change, there was even more chance to pick up drinks!Course markers - it's a shame these get pinched, but notes were provided (and bear in mind, these must have been put together at the last second also). Not perfectly clear and I understand how some people could have taken a wrong turn, but I found them sufficient to get around and a credit to the organisers who must have lost sleep in making all those alternative arrangements so late on.Can't wait to try the PROPER route next year!Date of review: March 3, 2009

Survival Asia
Steve Darby has worked all over Asia and the coach has provided Kick Off Asia with a guide on how to a coach, as well as players, can survive and prosper on the world's biggest continent.
All over Asia there are an ever growing number of players or coaches who are 'the foreigner'. Football is the perfect symbol of the global village.
To succeed as an outsider it may be worth noting the following article is drawn from experience (and many personal mistakes) and while mainly applicable to coaches many can also be applied to players.
Learn the language
Whilst English is widely spoken all over the world and appears to be the most common second language, it is amazing how far a few key words of the native language in the country you are working in can get you.
Even basic courtesy words such as 'please, thank you, good morning' can really help break the ice. It also shows a respect for the hosts as well as being obviously useful. In the short term, fluency is not expected, but try learning five words a day and basic grammar and soon conversations can be struck up. Some countries do not have cable so home can be a lonely place if you can't understand the television. When you can tell jokes in your second language you have made it. As a player, acceptance in the dressing room often helps performance and language/jokes are vital.
Football terms are universal. "Shoot!" "Goal!" and others but it really helps if you are working with an 18 year old striker to know how to say "bend your run" or "arrive late" in his language. It is even more important to say "well done" or "excellent" in that language. Immediate and personal praise is a wonderful motivation to learn.
Understand the culture
Try to understand the culture of your host. No country will expect you to convert to their religion, but conversely don't try to expose your religious or political beliefs or be trying to convert players. It is enough of a job to get them to win!
I was working in a country where I was appalled and upset about the poverty of the people who supported the team. A wise administrator asked me if I really thought I could change that situation. And perhaps the local team winning was a great support to this community. Idealism is wonderful but be realistic in what you can achieve. Footballers are often privileged and should help less fortunate people wherever they can but keep it in perspective. Also try to learn what is offensive. Drinking alcohol, swearing, going without a shirt, showing your feet, are all habits which may be acceptable in one country but offensive or even illegal in another. Remember you are a guest in the country and it doesn't really matter what they do or accept in England, Germany or Brazil.
Although often laughed at, try to also understand the food! From experience I can safely say that it is not funny when you are in bed for five days and have lost about eight kilograms and unable to even think about working. Learn what you can eat and drink and never experiment on the day before a match.
It is your responsibility to be fit to play/coach and diet is part of this. Also it is naïve to demand European diets for Asian players. Intelligent research can reveal local equivalents, which have the same nutritional requirements. Players may actually get sick if they are forced to eat alien food and it is pointless to expect players from poor economic backgrounds to buy expensive pasta when rice is far more accessible. Also in most cases you will have to educate the mother or wife and not the player. Not an easy task when you will probably never meet them.
Develop key relationships
A coach must have key relationships with three groups of people. Obviously the most important are the players for if you do not have their respect and support then everything else is irrelevant.
It is also essential that the coach has a good relationship with the 'administration'. This obviously varies from nation to nation. In some nations a club is ran by a large administrative staff while in others one man is the boss and like it or not, that is where the wages are coming from.
It is very important that early in a contract that clear roles are agreed. The most important being of who picks the team! Remember it is the coach who gets the sack, never the selection committee, so my advice is always be prepared to die by your own methods rather than by somebody else's.
Know what your role is, what you can comment on and learn the policy of the club. In reality your role is to get the team to win! Try to gear everything and everybody towards this aim. . If possible try to control the environment that you are working in. A sad reality is that long-term in Asia often means next week. You are lucky if you have intelligent administrators who see a job may take two year though this applies to football world wide. The great sides of the world have consistency of management at all levels.
A wise coach will listen to people he trusts, as nobody gets it all ri
ght all of the time and there are cultural differences which are perplexing at first such as the effect of marriage on an Asian player being an example, or even simply the role of gender in the society. But the aim is to establish a strong professional and personal relationship with the key people in the club and it will make the job far more enjoyable and success more likely.
The third key group in Asia is the media. Once again this varies from nation to nation but in some countries journalistic ethics are quite flexible, and a vindictive journalist can ruin a playing or coaching career for a ridiculous reason. Try to get to know the key media early in the contract. Be honest with them and try to treat them fairly and equally. Remember they have a job to do and are under pressure from their editors. So don't lie to them with team selections (does any professional coach actually fool anyone with lies about selection?). Also give them stories and make their jobs easier. I have also found that by giving 'off the record' information early on, which in fact is inconsequential will enable you to find out who are the true journalists with ethics and love for the game or just circulation hunting hacks.
The media is the essential link to the fans. Remember you were once a fan as a young boy and wanted to know all about your team – so why deprive young fans of this knowledge? We want people to love the game and we should encourage their passion. Help the media and in return they usually will help you. They are often an incredible source of knowledge about player movement and their backgrounds which is vital in the transfer market.
All over the world there are horror stories about players and coaches having money worries due to broken contracts. It is essential to remember that no nationality has a mortgage on corruption, dishonesty or even stupidity! There are examples everywhere. It is also a two-way story with dishonest players and coaches as well as administrators.
It is essential for administrators to realise that it is impossible for anybody to work at their best if they are worried about money. If people want good results then they must treat people as they would a doctor, lawyer, mechanic and pay them correctly for their services. It is better to promise a lesser wage and deliver on time than to have troubles caused by late or non-payments.
When negotiating a contract the essential ingredient is honesty. Once a contract is signed then that is it and neither side should put extra demands on the party. This is a two way process as I have seen strikers demand extra money for important games. While only a few professional players do this, they ruin it for the vast majority of honest professionals.
If clubs occasionally pay a special bonus for a special victory that should be taken as a surprise and not an obligation. Conversely basic wages should be paid on time, irrespective of results. Very few players enjoy losing and it is a reality of the game that somebody will lose, so results must be put in a sane perspective. Are Laos going to play in the next World Cup? No! But have Japan or Korea a realistic chance of making the last eight? Yes! This logic must be applied at all levels of the game. As Arsene Wenger of Arsenal has stated, learning how to react to a loss is a great skill for a coach.
Lodging a copy of your contract with the national body is usually a wise precaution as they always act in an appropriate manner. However, they can only act on official contracts and not 'under the table' promises.
In summary being a pro in the game as either a player or a coach is a great lifestyle. However, it is a profession and must be treated as such by working hard, setting high personal standards and continuing to educate and improve. Treat all people how you would like to be treated, with honesty and respect and you will enjoy the job. There are millions of people who love the game and it will give you the greatest moments of your life and you will meet wonderful people from all cultures.
You may also experience incredible situations such as being tear gassed in the Middle East, or playing in front of one thousand monks in Thailand but usually footballers are the same over the world and the dressing room laughs are universal. So avoid the colonial mentality, share the passion for the game and, yes, win a few games as well! It really helps.

Skin turgor
Skin turgor is the skin's ability to change shape and return to normal (elasticity).
Alternative Names
Doughy skin; Poor skin turgor; Good skin turgor; Decreased skin turgor
Skin turgor is a sign commonly used by health care workers to assess the degree of fluid loss or dehydration. Fluid loss can occur from common conditions, such as diarrhea or vomiting. Infants and young children with vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased or no fluid intake can rapidly lose a significant amount of fluid. Fever speeds up this process.
To determine skin turgor, the health care provider grasps the skin on the back of the hand, lower arm, or abdomen between two fingers so that it is tented up. The skin is held for a few seconds then released.
Skin with normal turgor snaps rapidly back to its normal position. Skin with decreased turgor remains elevated and returns slowly to its normal position.
Decreased skin turgor is a late sign in dehydration. It occurs with moderate to severe dehydration. Fluid loss of 5% of the body weight is considered mild dehydration, 10% is moderate, and 15% or more is severe dehydration.
Note: Edema (a buildup of fluid in the tissues that causes swelling) causes the skin to be extremely difficult to pinch up.
Common Causes
- Decreased fluid intake
- Dehydration
- Diarrhea
- Diabetes
- Extreme weight loss
- Heat stroke (excessive sweating without enough fluid intake)
- Vomiting
Connective tissue disorders, such as scleroderma and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, can also affect the elasticity of the skin. This does not have to do with fluids, but is a change in the elastic properties of the skin tissue.
Home Care
A quick check of skin turgor by pinching the skin over the back of the hand, on the abdomen, or over the front of the chest under the collarbone is a good way to check for dehydration at home.
Mild dehydration will cause the skin to be slightly slow in its return to normal. To rehydrate, drink more fluids -- particularly water.
If turgor is severe, indicating moderate or severe dehydration, see your health care provider immediately.
Call your health care provider if
- Poor skin turgor occurs with vomiting, diarrhea, or fever.
- During a check of skin turgor the skin is very slow to return to normal, or the skin "tents" up. This can indicate dehydration that is severe enough to require immediate treatment.
- You have reduced skin turgor and are unable to increase your intake of fluids (for example, because of vomiting).
What to expect at your health care provider's office
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history, including:
- How long have you had symptoms?
- What other symptoms came before the change in skin turgor (vomiting, diarrhea, others)?
- What have you done to try to treat the condition?
- Did it make it better?
- Is it getting worse?
- What other symptoms do you have (such as dry lips, decreased urine output, and decreased tearing)?
Tests that may be performed:
- Blood chemistry (such as a chem-20)
- Urinalysis
Intravenous fluids may be necessary for severe dehydration. You may need medications to treat other conditions that affect skin turgor and elasticity.

Piaggio MP3 LT 500 Sport: An Owner's Review
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
Blahdeblah52: Mate, if you see a nutter waving on a Red CBR it will be me :-) I shall
look out for you as (like you said in PM) we are on the same roads!
First vid I ever watched on a 3 Wheel, it looks like a GREAT option if you
don't (yet) have a full license, you are getting a License one day, aint ya
Rog, loved the vid and appreciate the shout. Subbed!
One thing, is it classed as OK to go through Bus Lanes that are marked as
only Motorcycles or buses?
Grey area maybe :-)
CalmBiker: Great review. Interesting that you don't need a bike license or CBT (though this might have changed / be changing). Completely with you that the commute becomes more fun than the job.
andyteethyea: this bike has always intreged me im on a cbt but i love my small bikes litraly only gunna do my lisence so i dont have to keep doing a cbt but ive always liked the look if these and wouldent mind getting one in the future great vid mate
Blahdeblah52: Ahh typed that before ya said about the Bus Lanes :-) Nicely done!! Congestion charge is almost irrelevant as the cams do not use forward facing cameras anyway...like ya said. I think it's a fact!!
Stuart Moore: Great video. Impressed by how relaxed you sound. I have the same model. I am also same age and height. I have a full bike licence though and used to ride some pretty large bikes but had taken a break whilst raising kids. My discovery of these was a bit random, didn't even know about such machines. Had been thinking about getting a bike again for a while but thought it might be worth trying a scooter as no longer had the need for the same power kick I had in my youth and 30s. Spotted an MP3 in a scooter magazine and immediately went off to find a dealer. Fell in love and bought a recent used model within a couple of weeks. My nearest dealers in and around Birmingham didn't have anything suitable so I ended up buying one from Scootercrazy in Huddersfield. My first ride on it was mostly motorway including the highest motorway in England (M62) in very bad weather (gales and rain). Loved it. I am stunned that someone without bike experience can get on one of these and thought it a really bad idea until seeing your video. I do find it very similar to ride to two wheelers but with the extra stability you mentioned. I do more country and motorway riding than you so replaced the screen with the tall variant as I was getting buffeted far too much. Now have to apply rain repellent as I can't see over it. Much calmer ride though. Must get a better lid. Thank goodness for ear plugs. I also fitted a large third party top box on an adapter plate. Sadly it is impractical for me to commute with my current contract. (Live in Shropshire, working near Heathrow.) and bad weather has meant not felt desire to ride for pleasure much at weekends. I hope to get some commutable work sometime as well as have fun when weather is a bit nicer. I think I would like a two wheeler again at some point but, like you, I would be tempted to keep this well.
Marlon: Excellent review and a great insight into what it's like riding and living with a motorcycle (or motor...trike?) in London. These were used for a while on a trial basis here in Melbourne Australia by paramedics. On a different level you're pretty much the ideal new mature rider. You've clearly done your research and developed a healthy interest in all things motorcycling. Your roadcraft is excellent mate - without sounding like I'm being condescending but you should be really proud of yourself.
Dan C: Fantastic review, really gave us a good feel of how it is like to ride a trike in a city. Your video might have actually convinced me to buy a trike in Singapore (as you may know car is ridiculously expensive here). Well right now I'll stick to taking the tube in London whilst I'm here. :)
Joseph Deally: Think I might get one of those ridescan mirrors, looks super handy! Hopefully it will affix nicely to my x9 wind shield.
DumbDuck44: I hear it feels a bit top heavy compared to most scoots. BTW, in most states in the US (except california) you will need a motorcycle license to ride one.
bigissue: i enjoyed the trip
robin yates: nice steady commute,interesting review on the 3 wheeler,thanks
Rammer Gramps: thank you I found it really interesting as eventually I want to get a three wheeler
goofyfoot2001: YOUR ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gemma stone: I've been looking into getting one of these as a side step to taking a bike test ..I have a full UK car licence since 1992...the only drawback is the cost. ..They do seem a bit expensive. .
Mihai Dragomir: i like the part where you say "someone that isn't me has had this bike up to an indicated 100 :)" very usefull review!
Bruno Pereira: Oh man, you just made me want to go out and buy one RIGHT NOW. Screw it, once I can, I will. Stay safe. :)
Rodney Murray: Great review. I have an MP3 500, actually a Gilera Fuoco rebadged as MP3 for the US market. Love it! In the US, you can only ride a scooter without a motorcycle license if its 50cc or lower. I have the same wide angle mirror too. What camera/mic do you use? Thanks!
Chris Fyros: Can you travel long distances with the MP3? What do you think? Nice review. Thanks.
sunairjet: I hate this lame ass version of a bike. But laws are laws. You could ride a 125 cc (like a proper supermoto) only a few years ago over here. Sorry if I offended any MP3 owners
Melvin Bartolome: Your review was really good. I was wondering if you need to stick L Plates on?
sunelven: Nice video dude! Thanks for the info! Do you know if there's any other manufacturers that makes bikes like this, ones you can ride with car license? BTW What cam are u using?
Tichrai2: apparently you cant ride it in buslanes in norway because its ridden on a B-class car license :(
De Ganzedijker Knoop: Great vid, I enjoyed your ride an the way you 3Wheel drive. And yes, the mirror man in the middle, brilliant!
taiwarrior1: Great video, really informative! I've been looking at scooters recently because it's getting increasingly more challenging and frustrating owning a car in the city I live in (Bristol). A question, if I may? Can you park this for free in solo motorcycle/scooter parking bays or do you have to get a pay and display ticket for it? Many thanks and ride safe. :-)
ombra306: fuoco, f u o c o!
Nico Velter: Well, I own a sport touring 350. A disater from a reliability perpective. Still under warranty, the copmpany refuses to assume its legal obligations and doesntt bother to anwer yourv complaints. Good to know...
Mashud Ali: Dude. Thoroughly interesting!
TheKnightsShield: Since the MP3 has 2 wheels up front, how does it steer at higher than 15mph? Does it still require counter steering or does it act more like a reverse trike and/or a car?
theboywholived2: Thank you for your reply, did you say there was another make of the piaggio that was made under their name, or under a different company that's also importing the same kind of bike into the UK now? Many thanks
A Hut: Tanks for your story About the bike. I ride a Vespa, but wants a MP3. Greets from Holland.
Gary Cramp: this, is by far, the best review video I have ever seen from a normal bloke with no ties to the manufacturer or even riding experience. I have been lucky enough to try every single Piaggio/Gilera on the market as I work for a dealership. you my friend should review anything on this planet, and I would watch it and take notes. 9.8/10. only bad thing was watching you undertake that lorry after spending to much time in his blind spot! otherwise that was a perfect ride and review.
SentMe: Hey mate, Nice video! I do have a question. Does the scooter drive with countersterring or like a car?
Encantador: Hi, How is your RAM mount attached? Steve
microkid36: Hi there motortriker iv'e just bought one of these on a 14 plate,can i ask if i may how did you mount your sat nav,because i have a tom tom rider and you have to pay extra for a bracket which mounts the sat nav where the 2 buttons are for the seat and boot release and to be honest it looks much nicer where you have yours. safe riding cheers in advance Ray.
Katherine Carnegie: what kind of petrol do you put in it, regular or premium?
Βίντεος Βιντεάκης: Hello from Greece...I can see that you love the MP3 as we all...I like the sport's model mirrors. Only someone who rides the MP3 can feel the superiority of its kind. ...Thank you for the video. Have nice rides...
james sullivan: watch for car doors mate those roads are pretty narrow
theboywholived2: Fantastic review thank you so much for all the info mad taking the time to do the video. I think you have answered every question I had about the bike. I too am a car driver and dare I mention a bus driver (not London) and hate sitting in traffic. After a day at work all I want to do is get home. I have a 125cc scooter but would like more power however I lack to enthusiasm to ride anything more powerful on 2 wheels. I love the MP3 and now the mirror as well, a real must have. Thank you so much for this insight. I'll be buying one very very soon.
Ben Middleton: Great video and information Motortriker. Am in a similar decision process where I have a commute which can be troublesome and I am going through a "male mid life crisis" so bought the V8 convertible I have always been after! To counteract the fuel costs I have been considering much more frugal alternatives for my commute, but to be honest anything with 4 wheels that's cheap to run/insure/tax is not enjoyable (which I worry will mean I use the V8 more than I should!) and still leaves me with the commute trouble of traffic etc. I stumbled across an MP3 the other day (didn't know what it was!) but I thought it looked brilliant and could answer all my needs. seeing your video has all but convinced me. I have a good local Piaggio dealer so have emailed them tonight for further info and a test ride. I am like you in that I have never had a motorbike, (cycling yes but not motorcycling) but been driving 30 years.. One question though - How is riding the MP3 in rain and cold? not so much the MP3 in terms of handling etc but does it afford you any protection to getting soaked or freezing, even with the wet weather gear on? Thanks again for a brilliant video.. Ben
Alistair Lang: *A bike you can ride with a car licence* For anyone interested in leaving the car at home, this video of a short London commute is worth watching for this guy's buying decision and impression. *On the downside, his lane positioning is mostly poor (too close to parked vehicles; need to be much further out for forward observation and planning) - easily sorted after investing in some 'advanced' training.* Another cheaper, lighter, lower powered option might be Yamaha's new 125cc Tricity: http://www.motorcyclenews.com/mcn/news/newsresults/new-bikes/2014/march/mar2513-yamaha-tricity-revealed/
stefan brown: I want gears i feel abit safer
Sue Hall: Hello there, Sue from Australia here. Thank you for the video, loved it . I have an MP3 250cc 2007 and yes "the wrong model "lol an ie but I love it. You were spot on with your description of everything (except the wrong model lol). Bought mine in Aug 13, second hand like you off a fellow who bought a Can Am Spider , only 600k on it when I got it.. Have you seen the new model Yourban. Looks a bit more macho, bit more Gilera Fuocoish.
holidaythailand2010: Great video, thanks for sharing your experiences, if other bikers dont nod, take both hands off and give them a wave, finger, etc.
profmartin1967: Want one.
deandigger: Just wanted to congratulate you on a very good informative and enjoyable video, i looked at the gilera fuoco as im in the same position as you were hating the commute into london. I was told you can get a conversion kit for the two front wheels so you can then ride it on a car licence but it seems to be a grey area whether its true or not and then i came across the same bike as what you have yourself and now im sold on it so once again thanks.
cheehsiong83: Is that a gps unit under the riderscan?
Dhruva Rai: I am wondering about the foot brake. How does it work? Is it a combination of the front and back brakes? Is it better to use foot brake than hand brakes?
Mike Conroy: I have one too, and it is great.
richard682e: Nice video, i have owned a converted 500cc Gilera Fuoco from new since 2011, agree with everything you said about the bike and the freedom it brings. Check out http://modernvespa.com/forum/ for great tips for MP3's and the British site http://mp3scooterclub.co.uk/cgi-bin/topic_show.pl?tid=1751 ( That's mine in the thread). The best single add on for the bike is Dr Pulley 17gram rollers/sliders transforms off the line acceleration, i think yours may already have them on from new if not get them done at the next belt change. I have had a true 85mph (satnav) with the clock at about a indicated 135kph but i am a big LAD. I am halfway through DAS just mod 1&2 to do, got the theory out of the way. Safe riding remember everyone else on the road is a loony and you wont go wrong. Again a great review*****
1964douglas1: Hi , can you tell me what insurance company you use for the LT please ? I'm with MCE but they don't insure them & I'm changing over in June , thanks .

It's heated up their bedroom lives, turned their innermost fantasies into realities, and taught plenty of women to be more comfortable with their sexuality, and now Fifty Shades of Grey has driven one woman to divorce her husband.
Yep -- a banker from England purchased the book last year in the hopes of making her bedroom life a little bit more (ahem) exciting, but her husband wasn't exactly into being adventurous. And when he refused to engage in a little role playing and give her a sexy Christian Grey experience -- she decided it was time to file for divorce. The case is currently going through the High Court, and she cited "unreasonable behavior" as grounds for the divorce.
Apparently when she told her husband about wanting to kick things up a notch, he became irate and said, "It's all because you have been reading that bloody book." (Wow. You'd think most dudes would jump at the chance to act out a Fifty Shades-style fantasy.)
And while I'm sure there's more to this story than meets the eye, it sounds like this woman fell into the same trap that many of us do when we read books or watch romantic movies. We buy into the illusion of perfection in the story and immediately feel like our own marriages can't measure up -- and never will.
C'mon, how many times have you watched The Notebook and cried your eyes out at the end, and then turned to gaze adoringly into your husband's eyes -- only to find him fast asleep on the couch with a few popcorn kernels scattered on his shirt? And then you cried even harder because you felt like the romance in your life was gone forever and you'd never have a love story like Noah and Allie? (Trust me, we've all been there.)
There are plenty of good reasons to get divorced, but if you're thinking of leaving your husband because of some ideal in a book or film that you're trying to live up to, you may want to think twice before packing your bags. You know the whole "grass is always greener" thing? Yeah, well it's a hell of a lot greener in the movies and in the pages of Fifty Shades of Grey than it will ever be with anyone in real life. (Sad, but true.)
Do you fall into the book/movie trap? And do you think this woman has valid grounds for divorce?
Image via Jason Clapp/Flickr
Sounds to me like there was trouble in paradise long before the books. Maybe she realized there was more to the bedroom and wanted that. I don't see anything wrong with a woman discovering that her bedroom life could be spiced up. If the man in her life doesn't want to or refuses perhaps it's time to move on. Maybe the books just helped her make the choice.
How people compromise in the bedroom tells a lot about how they compromise in their relationship. If he didn't want to try something new that would make her happy in bed what are the chances he would want to make adjustments in their relationship to make her happy. No one should be pressured into something sexual that they are uncomfortable with, but how you handle the situation says a lot.
I agree with Michelephant. He didn't respect her enough to meet halfway? He probably wasn't willing to do that for her in other areas of their relationship. Staying married just to keep the status quo...never a good idea. My husband and I lived the lifestyle before...but since the books we are more into meeting others with the same ideas...and we have. Those books helped us to expand. But, didn't give us any false pretenses. People who succumb to the 'story' should examine their own lives for what is missing.
I don't think it grounds for divorce really. You married the guy for brought to you then. So no that's crazy to get a divorce cause he won't be her "CHRISTIAN GREY?
Either way, they both need to be happy in order to make the marriage work in the first place.. and apparently she wasn't very happy with that portion of the marriage.. the bedroom is pretty important and I think it's a good thing she noticed that she wanted something more.. and if he wasn't able to fulfill her wants/needs.. then maybe they aren't meant to be together.. I wouldn't say it was the books fault for the divorce.. it was just something that helped her open her eyes!
hahaa I really don't think it is due to 50 shades of grey .. rather than the divorce was preceding
i feel like this article is 100% right. seriously? this woman is ready to divorce her husband because he is not like christian gray? that is one of the most dumb things i've ever heard. i know that it is easy to read a book and get caught up in a fanasty, i do so with books and tv all of the time, but in all honest. life is not a story. it is certainly not fifty shades of grey. i mean sure as women we all wish we could meet a handsome billonare like christian grey that could swept us off our feet and buy us expensive gifts and give us a awesome love life, but in reality for a majority of women, that will never happen. learn to seperate fanstasy from reality. it is hard. but necessary.

What Drives the Demand for Temporary Agency Workers?
AbstractTemporary agency employment has grown steadily in most European countries over the past three decades as part of the general trend towards increased employment flexibility. Yet to this day, it remains an open question what drives the demand for temporary agency workers. The paper examines, first, whether the deregulation of temporary agency employment is responsible for the growth of the flexible staffing industry. Second, we investigate the cyclical behavior of temporary agency employment. Using monthly data for Germany covering the period 1973-2008, we show that the continuous liberalization of this sector is not responsible for the surge in temporary agency employment. Our analysis reveals, moreover, that temporary agency employment exhibits strong cyclical behavior and correlates with main economic indicators in real time. Since most European countries promoted the use of temporary agency employment in a similar way, we believe that our results may be interesting from an international perspective as well.

Double Power - D7015 7-inch tablet
Many students want a tablet to replace bulkier laptops while on the move, but sometimes its simply not possible to fork out for an iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab. However, for basic functionality and Internet access in a lightweight casing, there are a number of cheaper options on the market -- such as the D7015 7-inch tablet. It's a little more than $50, but about as cheap as you can get for a tablet at the moment -- and comes with enough basic functions to keep a student happy.
The tablet has 4GB storage space, a processing speed of 1.2GHz, 512mb memory, one SD slot, a front-facing webcam and runs on Android. If you want to go slightly upmarket, consider a Google Nexus.

Cannes Film Festival Review: 'The Bling Ring'
Sofia Coppola takes on the kid crooks who both exploited and embraced tabloid culture
By William Goss May 18, 2013 7:21AM
Rating: 3.5/5 stars
In 2008 and 2009, a group of L.A. teens used their Internet savvy to determine where celebrities lived, when they'd be out of town (as well-documented by tabloid sites and the like) and how best to help themselves to more than $3 million worth of designer clothes, goods and cash, with their victims either unaware of the burglaries or unwilling to report the break-ins. What's more, their eventual capture would only result in the type of arbitrary celebrity status that their own glamorous role models enjoyed.
It's a fascinating story that encapsulates today's entitled youth culture, online transparency and do-anything desire for attention, one which namely resulted in a 2010 feature in Vanity Fair (brilliantly titled "The Suspects Wore Louboutins") and, now, a film in the form of Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring," which doesn't explore the who's and why's of the scenario so much as the how's and why-not's.
Framed by post-arrest depositions from the marginally remorseful suspects, Coppola's take introduces us to Marc (Israel Broussard), a newcomer to Indian Hills High School who quickly takes up with the coolly indifferent Rebecca (Katie Chang) and her clique of fashion-minded wannabes. He hardly prevents her from raiding unlocked cars and a classmate's unattended home, so once he's enlisted to look up Paris Hilton's home address, Marc doesn't hesitate to help Rebecca break in.
Of course, it isn't just Rebecca, but Nicki (Emma Watson), her adopted sister Sam (Taissa Farmiga) and mutual friend Chloe (Claire Julien) who want in on the action; and it isn't just Paris Hilton whose home and belongings they help themselves to, but Orlando Bloom, Rachel Bilson, Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge as well. They boast about their crimes at parties, post pictures of evidence to Facebook -- after all, what's the point of stealing the hottest name brands if you're not going to flaunt them? Each home in which these BFFs commit B-and-E is chock full of reflections, whether through literal mirrors, framed magazine covers or designer wear that should really say it all at the end of the day. (One character only becomes the spitting image of her idols once she lands a DUI and lives to shrug off the tale.)
On the surface, the story fits easily into Coppola's recently established pantheon of poor little rich kids ("Marie Antoinette," "Somewhere"), as this gang couldn't be farther from the quiet insecurities of "The Virgin Suicides" and "Lost in Translation." However, "on the surface" is the very matter that keeps "The Bling Ring" from joining the ranks of the latter. Even at its sharpest moments, this fleet film carries all the weight of a re-enactment (Paris Hilton, who has a cameo, allowed her own house to double for itself here) without proving to be any more incisive than the original events themselves were. Coppola doesn't necessarily empathize with these fame-craving crooks as she had with prior characters, but given how devoid they appeared to be of their own emotional awakening, she is subsequently saddled with a perfectly vapid ensemble whose looting sprees rival the mid-life ennui of her earlier films.
As far as motive is concerned, Marc just wanted to fit in and went about it the wrong way, forcing the story into the set path of so many other true-life crime-and-punishment tales before, only with the added irony of our celeb-worshippers being themselves honored by the ill-justified media spotlight -- a factor only magnified by having their own feature film. That isn't to say that "The Bling Ring" is without enjoyment. When a detective informs Rebecca that he's spoken with all the victims, she earnestly asks what Lindsay had to say. Watson stands out given Nicki's especially artificial persona (when addressing the media, she flippantly claims that "I might want to be the leader of a country someday, for all I know") and as the film's most prominent parental figure -- they are few and far between -- Leslie Mann reveals the all-pills, no-punishment parentage that could have very feasibly resulted in a generation this deeply apathetic towards accountability and consequence (not that I'm in any hurry to weep for half a dozen victimized multi-millionaires myself).
Coppola's most striking flourish sees the camera slowly pushing in on one robbery as it unfolds in real time, with two silhouettes dashing about an empty home against the glistening backdrop of an unaware, perhaps indifferent, mecca of stardom. This specific night will ultimately be the heist for which they'll get caught; the real crime, though, would have been not getting noticed at all.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – Just days after the resignation of Department of Veterans Affairs Chief Eric Shinseki, lawmakers across the country continue to question the problematic health care system for veterans.
Although Louisville's VA Hospital is about average for patient waiting time, several hospitals are under investigation but no one knows which ones.
Congressman John Yarmuth says under these circumstances there is a need for transparency.
"I understand the case for not releasing those data records, you want an investigation that's thorough and unbiased, but again, because of the controversy I think transparency is a better course," he said.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell feels the delays are unacceptable.
"These delays are completely and totally unacceptable particularly good responsive and timely health care and we made these promises going all the way back to WWII. We need to keep that promise and it's going to take a lot of consultation on a bipartisan basis," he said.
Nashville's VA Hospital was the worst out of 142 hospitals where the average wait is 65 days.

So I am back blogging with some new travel news. This spring break I went to Havana on a service mission with Northwestern University's Hillel. Before we arrived at the island, we collected aid (mostly medical) from friends and family. Although we toured the country, we also brought the aid to places in need, such as: temples, a Jewish center, etc.
It has been a little over a week since I have been back, and I am still in shock. It is so unfortunate that only 90 miles away from my Florida home, there are people who can never leave their country. These Cubans can't buy bulk groceries, or splurge at a clothing store or even own cars! Yet despite this lack of freedom, their spirits are high.
At night, everyone danced along the Malecon. They sung. They laughed. They had fun.
And this is why I will never forget the people I spoke with, the sights that I saw and the information I learned.
By the Israeli humorist, Efraim Kishon:
Israel is a country surrounded on all sides by enemies, but the people's headaches are caused by the neighbors upstairs.
Israel is a country, where the same drivers who cuss you and flip you the bird' will immediately pull over and offer you all forms…
Yes, those eight letters are what I dread the most: leaving Israel tomorrow. It has been such an adventure: a roller coaster of emotions, a spiritual journey, a wave of fun, THE ride of a life time. And in less then 24 hours it is all going to end.
My last day of class was today, strange since I will never see the 12 people in it again. I will never see my professor, who I adored, and I will probably never see the inside of the Rothenberg Internation School again.
After my class, where we talked about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today, I returned back to my dorm for one last time (well, at least from the school) and literally got ready in four minutes. Ugh, my last time rushing to make a bus into town…
Becca, Jesse, Sarah, Talya, Nathaniel and I had one last huuurah in town… dinner in style, well pub-style that is. We went to this hot spot bar/Irish restaurant and celebrated one last time. For me, it was my last time getting sweet potatoes on a salad… impossible to order in the US. For Becca, it was the last time drinking tap water that upsets her stomach. The list of pros and cons for everybody goes on and on and on…
Unfortunately, Becca and I had to study/ write my final paper so we could not join the other four for Mamilla Hotel drinks or cigars. (Don't worry, no cigars for me… it's more Sarah and Nathaniel's style)
After writing my paper for four hours, well on my notebook since my computer decided to be difficult and not charge, I went to sleep in the little Ikea twin-sized bed of mine for the very last time.
Oh how I dread for tomorrow to come… tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock.
Every day the clock is ticking. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. The end of my trip is approaching. Tick, tock. Tick, tock. With less then three days left in Israel, my friends and I decided to go on an adventure… tick, tock, tick, tock…. and stop the clock…
Our destination: Gan Hashlosha, an Israeli national park with three beautiful, natural springs. An oasis in a desert, literally.
The entrance to the park. Notice the desert mountains and palm trees, crazy right?
The most spectacular view I have seen in a while, or probably in my life
On Sunday the park was full of children and families barbecuing and swimming
Our lunch for today: fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon and humus
Leaving such a fun, enjoyable, relaxing day… the perfect way to end my trip
ברוך אתה ה' א‑לוהינו מלך העולם, המבדיל בין קודש לחול, בין אור לחושך, בין ישראל לעמים, בין יום השביעי לששת ימי המעשה. ברוך אתה ה', המבדיל בין קודש לחול.
Shabbat is unique from other days. It is the day of appreciation. The day of prayer. The day where the world, especially in Israel, is suppose to shut down. That means no cars, no buses, no opened restaurants, no open stores… nothing is in business.
Although this doesn't always apply to things in the United States, in Jerusalem, Saturdays are like one big ghost town. In fact, the only things opened are the Arab market and the Israeli museum.
Sarah, Adam and I journeyed to the Israeli museum where we explored the Dead Sea scrolls. These documents were discovered between 1947 and 1956 in caves along the shores of the Dead Sea. They contain the "oldest known surviving copies of Biblical and extra-biblical documents and preserve evidence of great diversity in the late Second Temple." (Thanks Wikipedia!)
Seeing such old documents and artifacts, like a Shoe and scissors, from the time of the Second Temple is mind blowing. Yes, I have obviously learned about the people living during this time but it is something else to realize it's actually true; that there is actual evidence right before my eyes indicating life-a civilized, advanced life thousands of years ago.
After drooling over each and every exhibit, the three of us did what the people of the temple use to do: we actually walked to our destination. On the way to the Arab market, since that is the only thing besides the museum opened on Saturday, we passed the prime minister's house and consequently the Gilad Shalit tent camp.
Each of us paid respect to his family, signed one of many banners and took the bright, neon yellow bands and a few bumper stickers. http://www.habanim.org/en/index_en.html
Although the market was filled with tourists, it turned out to be a fun, relaxing way to spend the afternoon. We visited Sarah's family's favorite vender and ate probably the best humus I have had in Israel. This restaurant/stand (it was not neither, but more of a mix of the two) was a little hole in the wall. But it had delicious, authentic food.
Shabbat is long time to go for with nothing open, so it is key to have a good meal to end the Shabbas. Tonight's dinner definitely did the trick. Adam, Becca, Talya, Nathaniel, Louis (Nathaniel's roommate) and I ate dinner on Jaffa Street. Amazing. Filling. Fresh. So good, just thinking about the dinner is making me salivate.
Shook, Shwarma, Shabbat- oh my! Shook, Shwarma, Shabbat- oh my! Today was stuffed with s's.
It all started with the sound of my alarm, at approximately 10:30. Sarah, Becca, Adam and myself got up bright and early (well not so much, but still relatively early for a weekend) to go to the shook. Usually, the market is busy but nothing compares to the chaos of Shabbat.
The shook on a Friday is where tourists come to get trampled over. It's where frail, old ladies push and shove their way through the market's narrow lanes. It's where Orthodox men run their grocery cart over people's feet if they are in the way. It's where constant screaming and shouting becomes like a lullaby: constant, familiar, and never ending.
Becca, Sarah, Adam and I divided and conquered the shook. Our missions: team Adam and Ariel- get challah, wine, chicken and schnizzle; team Sarah- get ruggalah, watermelon, grapes and figs; team Becca- get mozzarella cheese, cucumbers and tomatoes.
In between the challah and chicken, I introduced Adam to his very first shwarma. The reaction: complete and total approval. In other words, Adam loved it! Mission accomplished.
After several hours, which seemed like days, at the market, we all went back to relax and then cook. Two of my sister's best friends, Karli and Jennifer, were also joining the four of us for Shabbat dinner.
On the menu: mozzarella and tomato salad, Israeli salad (aka cucumbers and tomatoes), pasta with garlic and olive oil, chicken and mini schnizzle, eggplant, challah (two kinds: plain and one with spices), watermelon, grapes, figs and of course infamous ruggalah.
For my first and last Shabbat in Israel, tonight was a superb Shabbat.
Thursdays: Israel's version of the United State's Friday. It's the last day of work and school, and it is the day when you know you are finally done. It is also the day Adam Weiss showed up at my dorm.
Background: Adam Weiss is the son of David and Sheryl Weiss, brother to Amanda and Alex Weiss. Bar mitzvah newsletter sounding, I know. Anyways, Adam and his family are one of my family's closest friends. Going more in depth: Alex is my brother's absolute best friend; my sister and Adam will eventually get married (I kid, I kid); Amanda and I are extremely close; both of our dads work together; and for our moms, let's just say they created a sushi roll together. Yes, our families are very, very close so I could not say no when Adam asked to stay a weekend.
Adam is currently doing a BBYO Israel trip and this weekend he has "family weekend:" a weekend where the kids on the program go to a relative's house in Israel for Shabbat. Since Adam had nowhere to go, I decided to take him in and show him the real fun of Jerusalem.
Stop number one: Waffle Bar. Yes, it's exactly as it sounds: a restaurant dedicated to warm, wholesome waffles. And of course towering bowls of lettuce and vegetables, severely stuffed sandwiches, and fresh floury flatbread. Basically, this restaurant is the wonderland of waffles. Adam and I met up with Talya, Sarah and Becca here and needless to say, we all splurged.
Stop number two: Jaffa Street, Thursday night edition. After demolishing our healthy entrees and not so healthy desserts, the five of us headed to Jaffa Street- the only place in Jerusalem on a Thursday that is more crowded then the Kotel on a Friday night. The five of us took Adam to Zoolie's, our favorite bar, where Jesse later joined us. It was a very fun night indeed.
It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by he man who does things.
- Theodore Roosevelt
The end. It's when the curtain finally closes. It's when the cast takes its last bow. It's when the theatre becomes empty. And for me, it's when I said goodbye to 37 Hillel Street.
Today was my last day interning at the Israel Resource News Agency. And I must say as I reflect on my journey this summer I am upset to leave this job. In the past three weeks I have learned so much from David Bedein (my boss) and working for him. I have learned how to cover press conferences, talk one-on-one with government officials, type up a news story within an hour, contact top news sources… the list can goes on and on and on. Trust me, I'll spare you it this time.
But I will say this: while working at Beit Agron (the infamous journalism building) I have published three articles in two different publications. Not too shabby, eh?
In my last posts I have not really explained what I have been working on in the office so let me explain. I have been trying to contact this woman named Elisheva Milikovsky, to interview her about the Sudanese refugees she helps out. Here's a news exclusive: the issue of Sudanese refugees coming to Israel is going to be a hot topic in the news. Watch out for it! Anyways, I was unfortunately unable to reach her during my last days. It was a total bummer. I really wanted to end my internship with a BAAM! But oh well, life isn't always fair.
After work I went to class to turn in my dreaded, painfully long midterm- I kid, it was only 3 pages long: easy peasy lemon squeezy. For dinner Talya, Becca, Sarah and I went to Emik Rafaim for dinner at Olives, a Rothfield family favorite. Needless to say it was perfect. A perfect end to a perfect night. Cliché and already used on this blog, but as I said before… "oh well."

HOS shakeup?
The American Trucking Associations is calling on Transportation Secretary Mary Peters to push for a stay of a federal appeals court ruling on hours-of-service regulations and to encourage the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to conduct an expedited rulemaking to address the court's concerns.
An alternative to a stay is for the court to remand the rules, meaning that FMCSA would have to reconsider the two provisions the court objects to while those provisions remain in place, ATA says.
"While ATA is disappointed with the decision, we are encouraged by the fact that the shortcomings identified by the Court are procedural in nature and can be readily addressed by FMCSA," ATA President Bill Graves said in a July 31 letter to Peters.
Citing procedural flaws in the rulemaking, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on July 24 vacated the 11-hour driving time provision and the 34-hour weekly restart provision of the HOS regulations. With a 45-day period for FMCSA to seek reconsideration and another week for the ruling to take effect, the current regulations would remain in place at least until mid-September.
"There is no compelling safety reason for these two elements of the rule to be vacated," Graves told Peters. "Just a week ago your Department issued its final truck-involved fatality figures for 2006 – the first full year of the industry operating under these new HOS rules – and fatalities declined by 4.7 percent, the largest drop in 14 years."
In its reference to the "first full year," ATA is talking about the rule as modified in August 2005. That modification sharply limited use of the sleeper berth for splitting rest. However, truck-involved fatalities in 2004 and 2005 – both full years operating under the first rewrite of the HOS rules – were higher than they were in 2003.
Graves told Peters that if the 11 hours of driving and the 34-hour restart are vacated in mid-September, "there will be disruptions in the supply chain, our economy will suffer, and the highway safety implications become an unreasoned variable."
In asking for an expedited rulemaking on just those two provisions, Graves said that FMCSA's policy decisions were sound and that FMCSA's methodology just "needs to be better explained."
At a news conference addressing ATA's proposed national clearinghouse on drug testing results as well as the HOS situation, Graves said ATA would be filing its own motion for a stay but the support of DOT and FMCSA will be critical.

ATA Proposes Drug Testing Clearinghouse
The American Trucking Associations in August urged Congress to authorize and fund a centralized clearinghouse for positive drug and alcohol testing results of commercial motor vehicle drivers to ensure that motor carrier employers are aware of previous positive test results during the hiring process.
Speaking at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., ATA President Bill Graves said such a clearinghouse would improve the industry's ability to keep alcohol and drug abusers off the road and improve safety on the nation's roadways.
The federal government required drug and alcohol testing of commercial truck drivers in 1995. As measured by a percentage of positive test results, drug abuse in the trucking industry is less than half of that found in the general work force, ATA says. But with between 2 percent and 2.5 percent of the truck driver population testing positive, that's 68,000 drivers with some type of substance abuse problem, Graves noted, an unacceptable number.
