WEDNESDAY, Dec. 11, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- The first generic versions of the antidepressant drug Cymbalta (duloxetine delayed-release capsules) have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
License to produce generic Cymbalta was granted to Aurobindo Pharma Ltd., Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., Lupin Ltd., Sun Pharma Global FZE, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, and Torrent Pharmaceuticals Ltd., the agency said Wednesday in a news release.
Duloxetine is prescribed to treat symptoms of depression, which may include: depressed mood, loss of interest in usual activities, changes in weight or appetite, sleep problems, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, inability to concentrate or suicidal thoughts, the FDA said.
Labeling on duloxetine and other antidepressants says these drugs could increase users' risks of suicidal thinking and behavior, particularly among children, teens and young adults. Users should be monitored closely for these warning signs, the agency advised.
Common side effects of duloxetine include nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness, loss of appetite, increased sweating and dizziness.
Generic drugs are equivalent in effect and strength to their brand-name counterparts, the FDA said.

What happens when I try to "smile" at a camera.
Facething. For friending? Book of face?
Growing my head-pelt in for winter (feels like a chinchilla), so I need to remind myself how creepy I look buzzed.
The King of Denmark is keeping my titties warm.
FENRIR: Journal of Satanism and the Sinister
A young woman dressed in a sky blue hijab is standing in a desert. On her dress, embroided in silver, is the constellation of Orion.
Cast around her in the sand are six small globes, each glowing with a planetary colour. She holds a sphere, glowing with the colours of Mars, in her right hand. Above her, the sky is turning towards dusk. From the sky, a falcon dives.
On the horizon some buildings stand destroyed and on fire. Wreckage of vehicles lies strewn nearby. Above the destruction, a black opening in the sky is forming, revealing a star.
FENRIR: Journal of Satanism and the Sinister
In red desert
Three fingers and a skull
Are laid on fur
The stones of a circle
Turn to frogs
The skeleton of a child
The birth of an army
A Nexion is opened
Ordinary daily behavior.
I used the tumblr gif creator and it made me look possessed.
This morning I had an unpleasant appointment and sat in a little room with several people and subjected them to the transcendental sound vibration of the maha-mantra. The whispered name of Krishna filled the confined space, bouncing off the walls, making the others squirm. I have discovered that when I dress in this fashion and chant in public, I am more invisible than I would be in normal clothing, behaving normally. People will not look twice at me; more than that, it is as if the space I inhabit is a negative space— I am like a living, breathing black hole. I am not stared at or laughed at; there is a sense that people desperately want me to not exist in their vicinity, and most actually block me out as if I do not, as if they had never seen me. I can look at them, but they will not see me. It's beautiful. Haribol!
Walking on thorns.
Black-shrouded hag.
Hmm, maybe I'll go to church tomorrow…

Ah, October. The days are getting shorter, the winds are crisp and hockey is right around the corner. Who among us isn't happy to know that?
However, with the coming off the new NHL season comes the inevitable previews and prognostications from all of our favorite (and not-so-favorite) websites and print publications.
I understand the reasoning behind publishing these collections of guesswork. They definitely do draw readership and attention. But let's face it; nearly every preview (including mine) will look foolish come the end of the 2010-11 regular season.
The NHL, like all pro sports leagues, is too difficult to predict with any high level of accuracy. Who can correctly anticipate injuries? What about the premature regression of star players (Vinny Lecavalier, anyone?)? For that matter, we know there will be young players who develop faster than expected (ala Steven Stamkos last season); how do we account for that?
Heading into last season, who figured Phoenix or Colorado would be playoff contenders? How many thought the Eastern Conference Finals would pit the seventh and eighth seeded teams against each other? Wasn't Washington and/or Pittsburgh supposed to represent the East in the Stanley Cup Finals?
Predictions can be impacted by random events and that makes making predictions very unscientific. However, there are some who are beginning to make headway into injecting some science and objective analysis into the practice of prediction.
At the forefront of this movement is Hockey Prospectus; formerly know as Puck Prospectus. Launched in February of 2009 as the new child of the Prospectus Entertainment Ventures group, Hockey Prospectus is the pre-eminent source for new analysis into the sport.
They've introduced new metrics used to evaluate players like Goals Versus Threshold (GVT) and the Vukota projection system. GVT isn't the first attempt to develop an all-encompassing player evaluation statistic but it probably is the best going right now. For a refresher on GVT, here you go.
Vukota is hockey's equivalent of Baseball Prospectus' Pecota projection system. The team at Hockey Prospectus has spent countless hours researching hockey history, identifying statistical trends in the performance of players. They incorporate concepts like regression and progression due to the aging of players while also trying to anticipate something which seems to occur randomly, injuries. Vukota projects the number of games played in addition to goals, assists and points.
So is it any surprise that Hockey Prospectus has finally put all of this data into their first annual year book? Drum roll please; let's welcome "Hockey Prospectus 2010-11: The Essential Guide To The 2010-11 Hockey Season," to the hockey world.
Not only does Hockey Prospectus include traditional data like player stats and team records but they also apply their new metrics to project individual and team results for the new season.
Of course it isn't all about the new season either. Hockey Prospectus analyzes a number of other issues including: whether the NHL should go to a balanced schedule; can we predict how well a player making the jump from another league will transition to the NHL; and introductions to GVT as well as to Corsi.
But isn't it still mostly about the numbers for Hockey Prospectus; the numbers and the way they are analyzed?
One thing that did surprise me in the Vukota projection results was the uncanny similarities between this season's projected numbers and the player's production in recent seasons. From experience I would expect more fluctuation in production.
For an example of what I mean, let's look at the Phoenix Coyotes Vukota projections (point per game) and their production in recent seasons (also point per game). I also include the number of games played, both in 2009-10 and projected for 2010-11, and the player's age this season to give the numbers some context. Let's see if my interpretation of the Vukota rankings proves true when held up to some further analysis.
|Proj. GP
|Vukota PPG ('10-'11)
|% Variance
|Mikkel Boedker*
|Shane Doan
|Vernon Fiddler
|Martin Hanzal
|Lauri Korpikoski
|Petr Prucha
|Taylor Pyatt
|Lee Stempniak
|Scottie Upshall
|Radim Vrbata
|Wojtek Wolski
|Ray Whitney
|Eric Belanger
|Adrian Aucoin
|Ed Jovanovski
|Sami Lepisto
|Derek Morris
|Keith Yandle
*With regards to Boedker, I incorporated both his 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons together since he only appeared in 4 contests last year.
When you take it all in together, these Coyotes will increase their scoring collectively by a modest 0.03 PPG, or 6.7%. That doesn't seem like a lot given the Coyotes have several young players who can reasonably be expected to improve their production this year.
I would have expected some of the younger vets like Wolski, Yandle and Hanzal to perhaps have had steeper increases in their Vukota projections since they are just entering their prime years. Wolski specifically seemed to blossom upon his arrival in the desert yet Vukota actually sees a modest drop-off in his production.
Something else I want to learn more about is what factors into Vukota's projections of games played. Let's take a guy like Adrian Aucoin. Last season he appeared in all 82 games for Phoenix. The two years prior to that, Aucoin played in a total of 157 games; an average of 78.5. Yet Vukota only projects 54.7 games for the veteran blueliner. What does Vukota see that leads it to conclude Aucoin is in for an injury-filled campaign?
Apparently Vukota doesn't put much credence in Lee Stempniak's 14 goal, 18 point performance in just 18 games in the desert. They have him pegged much closer to his career numbers which makes sense to me.
Vukota seems to think Ray Whitney, even at age 38, can maintain his pace for another season. It projects the veteran winger to hold his .73 PPG production in 2009 – 2010 with a similar .74 PPG in 2010-11.
This is the type of information Hockey Prospectus gives the reader for each team in the NHL. How close the Vukota projections approximate the actual results from the season remains to be seen but it will certainly be interesting to find out.
Regardless, this is the most comprehensive NHL year book or preview than any I've ever seen. Anyone can publish last year's stats and records along with their guesses on how this season shapes up but Hockey Prospectus actually uses a different approach that utilizes sophisticated and well-thought out analysis to accompany the stats.
As mentioned before, "Hockey Prospectus: The Essential Guide To The 2010-11 Hockey Season," includes several thought provoking articles within its pages as well. Tom Awad offers his introduction to GVT and Vukota. That follows a foreword from respected hockey blogger Christopher Botta. Botta is a former New York Islanders front office employee whose writing now appears on several hockey websites.
One of the founding fathers of statistical analysis in hockey, Iain Fyffe, documents the history of statistical analysis in hockey. In this piece, Fyffe mentions one of the earliest examples of hockey analysis and one of the works which inspired him: The Klein and Reif Hockey Compendium. The Compendium was written by two American sportswriters; Jeff Klein and Karl-Eric Reif. In their book, Klein and Reif take some of the first shots at traditional stats like plus/minus and a goalie's save percentage. They even made an attempt to find an alternative to save percentage: Goaltender Perseverance.
Awad returns to discuss the advances made in the understanding of shot quality in hockey. The NHL's introduction of Real Time Scoring System (RTSS) has given us a better ability to understand what shots are more and less dangerous than others.
It's pretty obvious a shot from in tight has a greater likelihood of going in than one taken from the blue line but there are still some surprises in Awad's analysis. One consideration he mentions is the significant differences in how scorers judge distances from arena to arena. Alan Ryder did some research into this and discovered the scorers in Madison Square Garden tend to underestimate the actual distance a shot comes from. This tends to inflate Ranger goalie Henrik Lundqvist's performance while making the Rangers forwards look bad.
If, as Ryder argues, the scorer at MSG marks the distance of a shot against The King as 15 feet when it was actually 20 feet that would artificially inflate the degree of difficulty in stopping the shot and thus makes Lundqvist look better. The opposite is true if the same scenario occurs in regards to a Rangers sniper. If Marian Gaborik doesn't convert a shot from 15 feet (even though it may have been from further back) that reflects badly on Gaborik.
Awad also looks at what percentage of rebound shots are converted into goals and how the score at the time in the game impacts shooting percentage. Also, to no one's shock or surprise, shots taken immediately following a turnover result in a higher percentage of goals than the norm.
Next up is Robert Vollmer's dissertation on the improvements made to the Corsi Rating. I've introduced you to this metric before but since then analysts are beginning to use it in different ways. What started out as a simple way to gauge which team is controlling the play and which players play a big role in determining that is near to becoming a more useful stat because of the different applications it appears.
Richard Pollock next makes a compelling argument for the NHL adopting a balanced schedule. Simply put, instead of putting a higher emphasis on playing more intra-divisional games, the NHL should come up with a formula where every team plays a more balanced schedule.
Pollock does a division-by-division breakdown analyzing goal differential. His rational is divisions that finish with better goal differentials (i.e. more combined goals scored than combined goals allowed) then those divisions are stronger as a whole. If the division is stronger as a whole the teams within that division that have to face each of their rivals 6 times in a season may be at a disadvantage relative to teams in weaker divisions.
Pollock charts last season after adjusting for divisional strength. The Pacific and Atlantic divisions were the most severely affected by Pollock's adjustments. Pollock's calculations award each team in the Pacific a minimum of 14.27 additional points in the standings due to his adjustments.
In fact, his standings would see every team in the Pacific in the postseason with the exception of the Dallas Stars; who by virtue of the NHL's insistence that each division be represented in the playoffs were out despite having 3.77 more points than Vancouver in these adjusted standings. The Atlantic Division would have sent each of their teams to the playoffs if the standings were actually calculated the way Pollock theorizes. The Rangers and the Islanders moved up while the Bruins and the Canadiens would have moved out of the playoff mix.
Pollock emphasizes his point by asking this question; "If teams in three different divisions in the Eastern Conference are competing for the same fourth or fifth seed in the conference, should the teams not have an almost identical schedule?" This rationale makes sense to me but I'm sure the NHL doesn't care much what I think about this. Thus I would expect the NHL schedule to keep the same format for the foreseeable future.
Next up, Vollman introduces us to the concept of league equivalencies. How many of us wonder how well our new foreign import (Mats Zuccarello-Aasen of the Rangers for example) or this year's supremely talented No. 1 draft pick (Taylor Hall) will transition to the NHL? Vollman explains how years of historical data can be used to calculate a newcomer's NHL production based on his production in other leagues.
A basic approach to this was introduced in 2004 by Gabriel Desjardins. Desjardins simply analyzed years of historical data to determine basic translation factors for each league. Not surprisingly, players coming over from the KHL produce at a rate of 83% their KHL production in the NHL. Thus if a player was a 50 point scorer in the KHL, he can be expected to score 41.5 points in the NHL.
A more advanced approach, one factoring ice time, quality of said ice time and age, can also be used. Using the more advanced method, fans of the Rangers (Zuccarello), Red Wings (Jiri Hudler), and Flyers (Nikolay Zherdev) have reason to look forward to their new arrivals.
Will Carroll chimes in with a piece questioning whether the vagueness used when reporting injuries is really necessary. There is a prevailing fear that if a club is too specific reporting the type of injury to a a player or the body part affected, opposing teams will focus on that specific injury or area upon the injured player's return.
He looks into a case last year where Alex Ovechkin was hurt and it was reported simply as an "upper body injury." After a couple of weeks, the diagnosis was more specific; it was a shoulder strain. Upon his return NHL executives analyzed game film and tracked how many hits were attempted on Ovechkin to see if there was an increased focus on him. Carroll reasoned if opposing players were really focused on "taking Ovechkin out," then there would be more hits attempted on him. Carroll's study showed no significant change in the volume of physicality directed at the Capitals star.
To further back this conclusion up, Carroll spoke with an unidentified NHL defenseman often asked to play a physical style. When asked if he would specifically target a player returning from injury more than an uninjured player, the NHL defenseman replied, "No, I guess not."
It would seem Carroll has isolated a myth rather than a fact when confronting the idea that players target other players with a reported injury. This revelation would seem to render teams' unwillingness to report the type and severity of their player's injuries as unnecessary.
Finally, Corey Pronman closes it out with his top 50 NHL prospects. Columbus winger Nikita Filatov comes in No. 1 on Pronman's list. Edmonton's prize prospect (Hall) and Bruins center Tyler Seguin, the first and second choices in this past entry draft, placed No. 2 and No. 4 respectively on the list.
In addition to Hall, the Oilers placed 2 other names in Pronamn's top 11; Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson (5th) and Jordan Eberle (11th). It would seem the future looks bright in the great white north.
The most controversial pick of Pronman's is probably his choice of Islanders' LW Kirill Kabanov as the 8th best prospect in the NHL. Kabanov was bypassed by every team in the NHL at least once this past June at the entry draft due to concerns over his maturity and character. The Islanders finally selected the talented forward in the third round (65th overall).
To say Kabanov is the prototypical boom or bust prospect is an understatement. For Pronman to list him so high on his list is a testament to his belief in Kabanov. We'll see who is right ultimately; Pronman or the 29 other teams who chose not to select Kabanov before the Islanders.
At the end of the day, Hockey Prospectus has produced a 349 page NHL season preview of epic proportions. Whether you are a believer in statistical analysis or not Hockey Prospectus offers you enough numbers and analysis to make your head spin.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Goats are returning to Knoxville Wednesday for a very special job. They will be eating kudzu and other invasive weeds.
Goats were used for the same purpose in July 2010 in the Williams Creek Urban Forest.
The goats are part of a three-year plan to restore the forest. This year they will stay through October.
Residents in the area said the kudzu is out of control in their backyards and they are happy something is being done to combat it.
"It's been here for over 50 years. We've always wondered what they were going to do or how they were going to try to get rid of all of that over there. Because I've been worried about snakes, rats, cats, dogs, whatever you might find," said Alishia Smith, who lives near the Williams Creek Urban Forest.
Tennessee Clean Water Network, WhistlePig Farms and the City of Knoxville are working together to fix the kudzu problem.

Good Question: What Is This Slime In My Vinegar?
This week we're covering your questions about leftover ingredients you find in your pantry as you clean it out, and in that line, here's a great question from Lexy, who is participating in the spring Kitchen Cure.
While cleaning out my cupboards last night, I found an interesting growth in a bottle of white wine vinegar. The bottle isn't more than a few months old. I suspect that the growth is a vinegar mother, of which I've heard, but about which I know very little. I was hoping that The Kitchn crew or readers could help me positively identify the growth — and offer some tips for using it (if it's a mother).
I'm attaching multiple photos; I didn't think I'd be able to remove the growth in one piece from the bottle, and tried to capture its awesomeness/disgustingness from several angles.
Wow, Lexy — congratulations! You have a mother. A vinegar mother, that is.
Yes, it looks rather grungy and scary, floating on the top of the vinegar like that, but this spongy mass of bacteria is completely harmless. A vinegar mother is just bacteria that feeds on alcoholic liquids, and the fact that one developed in your vinegar just means that there were some sugars or alcohol that weren't completely fermented in the vinegar process.
You have a few options with your vinegar mother. You can strain it out (use a coffee filter) and continue using the vinegar as-is. Or don't even bother straining it out; again, the vinegar mother won't hurt you at all.
If you want to remove it and do something useful with it, then you can start your own batch of vinegar! You can add the mother to white wine and start all over again. This homemade vinegar process can produce really wonderful, deep-flavored vinegar, especially when you let it continue over a period of years.
Here's a great guide to getting started with homemade vinegar at Sunset's One-Block-Diet blog (a great blog that we mentioned last week).
• Download: How to make vinegar
• The vinegar team's posts at One-Block-Diet: Team Vinegar - They started their vinegar (from homemade wine!) with a mother starter from Paula Wolfert, who has been making vinegar for years and year.
Readers, have you ever made vinegar?

just in case you are interested, here is a link to an egullet forum, where they get into details on making vinegar, and discussing the "mother" more...
I just found an awesome old ceramic crock with a spigot which I intend to use for making red wine vinegar. The only thing that keeps me from jumping right in is the possibility of a fruit fly invasion.
Thanks! I unfortunately had to break the jar to remove the mother, and in the process some glass shards fell on it (her?). I rinsed it with luke-warm water to remove the debris, so I hope I didn't kill it. I put it in with some red wine leftovers (in a sterilized glass jar). The mother has a lovely square shape, and the new container is round; I wonder how long it will take to change shape? I'll check back in a few months if I have good news!
"awesomeness/disgustingness " is the perfect way to describe those pictures. I love how the mother holds the square shape of the bottle so well... ick.
A good website for making wine vinegar is this one from the gang of pour.
I made some good wine vinegar following their advice.
Woah. That is awesome beyond words. Bacteria are the bomb!
awww. i love the gentle care you took of it (her).
@sjbreeze, you can always put some cheesecloth over your container, lovely bacteria and air circulation in, buggies out.
Thanks saltyc. Good suggestion.
The "Mother" is a mass of many microscopic bacteria, too small to see individuals, they all liked the same area of the bottle, and when they got there they all stuck together. Similar to the way that bubbles floating on the surface of water will stick together.
If anything, breaking the square apart would have allowed them to work more quickly as more bacteria would be in contact with the wine.

One of the best value commuter/novice motorcycles around, the Honda CBF500 is a decently quick twin cylinder motorcycle that's well made, reliable and handles predictably. It does everyhting you can ask in a novice-friendly package and holds its resale value too. Compared to the Kawasaki ER-6 the Honda CBF500 perhaps looks a little bit plain, but some folk prefer less flash.
The Honda CBF500 isn't a sportbike, but 56bhp is enough to make life interesting, especialy if you've never been on a motorcycle before, except a CBT 125cc training motorcycle. The Honda CBF500 has a smooth parallel twin motor too, which makes commuting on dual carriagways or motorways less vibey than on some rival twin cylinder 500-600cc motorcycles.
The Honda CBF500's chassis is nothing special but it does the job more than adequately and the Honda CBF500 has monoshock rear suspension that's tweakable to an extent, depending on your weight and riding style. The Honda CBF500 also has ABS braking as an optional extra, which is another plus point for novice bikers who want a budget motorcycle that's as safe as possible too.
The Honda CBF500 is just as well equipped as the average mid-sized commuter motorcycle, with good quality brakes, suspension and a comfortable seat. It also has passenger grab handles, plus a little hugger near the rear wheel to protect the monoshock and mirrors that offer a good rear view. The Honda CBF500's 19-litre fuel tank offers a good range too.
No doubt about it, the Honda CBF500 is a cut above some of its budget rival motorcycles in the 500-600cc twins class, and it has a good reputation for reliability based on its predecessor, the Honda CB500 twin, which is essentially the same motorcycle. Motorcycles like these tend to be ridden in all weathers and the Honda CBF500 is more likely to resist the rigours of wet weather biking than some other machines.
You don't get much on two wheels these days for about four grand, so the Honda CBF500, with optional ABS brakes and good potential PX value two years down the line, makes an attractive proposition for any first time biker. More importantly, the Honda CBF500 is genuinely fun to ride - which is what biking should be all about, even if you're just commuting. Find a Honda CBF500 for sale.

Well, this is a replacement for my 2004 GS500F. First things first, the Honda is better, suspension, engine and brakes. The Suzuki is more economical, but sometimes you need just a bit more "go!" than economy. Having used 1200's for commuting, this little 500 has decent punch and handles very sweetly. I'm going to fit a Givi fly screen though to get some of the wind off my chest. Also fitted new mirrors as the old ones were awful. Bolts had corroded through, so they fell off!
Nice low weight, good low speed control (yes a perfect DAS trainer bike) and decent brakes means you can have decent fun on it. If you are used to IL4's or a Triple, then it feels a touch gutless and breathless, but as a commuting tool and general runabout, absolutely ideal. Mine has 22600 on the clocks when I bought it, only 3K added in the last 3 years by previous owner. So it is reasonably low mileage for a 2005 reg model. No ABS, but you can squeeze hard and it stops! Needs a hugger and hand guards/heated grips for all weather riding.
Get one, you won't regret the fun times.

Sold my CBF
This is the 3rd of my reviews on this bike. I bought it new back in 2008 and have reviewed it on here on 3 previous occasions. Over the past 5 years I have done 30,000 miles in all weathers & it has been my only transport. It never missed a beat & was totally reliable except for the battery which I had to replace twice. As a commuter it has been 1st class.

Great every day bike
I have owned a cbf 500 for a year and a half now, it is an absolutely brilliant bike which will get you from A to B with a smile on your face and to work and back. It easily eats up dual carriage ways and motor ways, the only downside to the engine is that it could do with that extra bit of torque so that it would accelerate a bit quicker during overtakes etc, but having said that it still does overtakes quite well. the cbf 500 is built like a tank and can handle being dropped as I have found out riding in the snow. the bike does not rust easily as long as it is protected with ACF50 in the winter. the handling is superb with michelin pilot roads or pilot road 2s fitted and the engine sounds pretty good with a pipewerx hawk exhaust. I also recommend fitting stainless steel down pipes as the standard honda ones rust easily and will need repainting all the time. crash bars are another essential modification for all year riding as if it is dropped the major components will be saved the one I have fitted are from renntech and I recommend them highly.
all round a great bike I have covered 25000 reliable miles on mine and it is still going strong. self servicing is cheap and a doddle as everything is so easy to get to and remove.
overall a brilliant bike I would recommend to any novice or commuter.

ok but...
im not going to say i dont like this bike because there is not much i dislike about it. but at the same time its effortsless handling and superb engine seem so boring, i dont know how but it just is. i do find my self doing silly speeds some times to make in more fun, that could be taken as a bad point i suppose.the other major downside to this bike is doing your own repairs etc are a pain in the ass, evering is in the way of everything else, looped and twisted all around each other like and italian meal. again this doesnt make it hard to do these things just irritating. but ill say it again its not a bad bike, fast for its size, accelerates well, huge rear tyre make cornering at speed to easy.

I bought a CBF500ABS in December 2009 with the intention of taking it to France for a trip and I would then sell it on my return. It turned out to be a very good purchase indeed, so much so that I have decided to keep it. I did not test ride it when I bought it and I didn't ride it until a week before I went on my trip in April 2010, I thought I had better ride it just to make sure everything was as it should be. My initial impression was that it seemed quite heavy for a small bike although only when moving it around. Once you get moving it is very easy to ride at any speed. The reason I bought this bike was because it was a Honda (my preference) and it was for sale locally (private sale) only 2000 miles on it with 1 owner from new and at a reasonable price. It came with a rack so I just fitted my 1980s Rickman topbox and loaded the bike up to catch the ferry.
The bike ran without fault for the whole trip, the tank range was 180 mlies reserve light on, I then on one occasion went to 211 miles and still had 2 litres left, 200 miles on a tank can easily be done. So no complaints on the tank range. Performance is excellent for a small capacity bike, you can cruise comfortably at motorway speeds all day or enjoy riding on nice biking roads however you choose to ride. It copes well with a pillion or luggage however I am not sure it would cope with both at the same time though!
My bike does have ABS which I didn't really want but I have to say that it worked very well while riding on a road surface with quite alot of small loose stones. All in all this is a very good alround bike with low running costs that offers the rider pretty much whatever you ask of it. With the exception of ABS this bike is still quite old fashioned mechanically which I like for ease of self maintainence. Just remember that it is only 500cc and a leaner bike really and you will not be disapointed. I recommend a centre stand, Hugger and Scottoiler just for ease of maintainence and keeping it and your boots clean, also a fly screen and heated grips are on my shopping list.
On a different note if you fancy going to france by bike but have never been before or do not want to go on your own then take a look at wwww.longwayroundbrittany.co.uk

Fantastic bike every house hold should have one. superb reliability. slight disapointment bout flacking on crankcase, but 10 out of 10 for ride and handling and value.
02 February 2010
I wish Honda was still producing the 500 CBF as it really is a great bike. As a commuter I needed something that was light, reliable and economical - the 500 CBF ticks all the boxes. I ride in all weathers and it is assured and sturdy. It feels like a quality bike even though it comes with a budget price tag. When i take it onto the motorway this 'commmuter' proves to be fun and zesty. With a flick of the wrist I am at 85mph andf the bike feels as if there is pleanty of power still to come. OK it's not a racing bike, but then again I have no intention of going to a track. I just want a bike that will start every morning and get me to work and back. This it does easily and is fun too. Highly recommended! An excellent bike that looks good and workd very well. The resale value is also excellent - I have discovered lots of people want one.

An update
Here is an update, my previous review was in August. I have now done 3,000 miles on my CBF and I do like it. I regularly get mpg in the high 50's with the average about 57mpg. It has never missed a beat which is what you would expect of a new bike. As stated in my previous review as a distance commuter each and every day I need a bike that has a fairing, clock and a fuel gauge. The engine has freed up more since my last review and spins happily. The handling is safe and predictable and I think she looks good.
The seat is now a lot more comfy and either my bum or the seat has softened. I like this bike more than I did in my last review, but becuase of my long didstance commute and the things that Honda have left off I wil be changing it next year (2009) for a CBF1000. which has a fairing, clock, centre stand, fuel gauge and as you would expect from a bike twice the capacity more oomph.
The CBF500 is a very very good bike for the novice or shorter distance commuter. Or someone who just isn't as critical as me.
06 October 2008
If only
I have owned this Bike from new for three months and so far have done 1,900 mile commuting to work every single day. It will be used winter and summer for my 40 mile daily commute.
It does exactly what it says on the tin and gets me to work every day and can put a smile on my face. I have been consistently getting 58 - 60 MPG and it beats all the cars in the Traffic Light Grand Prix. The seat is getting more comfy now I have been on it for three months but at first it seem very hard. The riding position is great, but on longer trips I do have slight wrist ache. The bike in my eyes does look good. The brakes are okay and do the job, my friend who has been riding all his life says that the brakes are very good. The fit and finish are good and are better than the Suzuki and Kawasaki's that I liked at before I bought.
Some negatives, this bike is designed for commuting and the novice rider (like me) but it does not have any of the following a fairing, a rear hugger, a fuel gauge or a clock. I consider all the these items very important if you like me use the bike every day for your ride to work. So really all the negatives are about what Honda left off the bike as opposed to the actual bike itself, which I suppose shows what a good bike it is.
Would I buy one again myself, probably not if my commute was only twenty miles then definitely yes or if I wanted the bike to be my first big bike and break myself in with then definitely yes. But for my 40 mile commute the things that I have listed above that Honda left off will be a pain to me come December and January.
For a Summer only or a shorter distance year round commuter or a first big bike to learn your trade on then this bike is great.

commute and fun
Having owned 25 bikes in 28 years,this bike is about the best so far, for the combination of commuting and fun riding that I do.
however I looking to change,fuel consumption being a big reason,63mpg is the absolute best i can achieve riding like my granny is on the back.
Riding at 70mph on my 68 mile round trip to work and back I am only getting 50mpg.
Get a grip bike makers,70mpg at 70mph cant be to much to ask can it,riding to work is great even in winter,but sadly car makers are leaving us behind in the economical transport
sector which motorcycling once ruled.

How often do you catch yourself speeding?
Quincy police are catching more drivers with a lead foot and they are issuing a warning tonight, slow down.
There are several trouble spots around town, and one in particular is raising concerns with neighbors.
QPD says they've seen in increase in speeding just north of 18th and Seminary Road.
Police say this area is a major cause for concern because drivers are going 5-10 miles per hour above the speed limit on average. And neighbors say they are simply fed up with it.
Pat Hindbaugh lives just off of North 18th Street and says with so many drivers speeding by her house she won't even let her grandchildren play in the front yard.
"People just don't seem concerned with speed limits, and I'm afraid for kids," said Hindbaugh.
Just down the street, Avery Bridgeman says not only is speeding a safety hazard, but it's also a disturbance to the neighborhood.
"It is kind of annoying to hear 6-cylinder engines revving by in the middle of the night," said Bridgeman.
Patrol Officer Craig Hufford with the Quincy Police department says one reason behind the problem is drivers actually confuse the city street with a highway.
"Several people think that they are starting to leave town where they are actually not, and we actually have a lot of problems on Koch's Lane as well, a lot of people speed there as well, you're not out of town yet," said Hufford.
Officer Hufford says the steep hill on the stretch of road makes it harder for drivers to see students at Quincy University's North Campus to the south of the bridge.
And people at Bob Mays Park to the north of the bridge.
"As your headed north on 18th here, it opens up and you have got to keep in mind even though there is a big hill you're going to gain speed and you still need to slow down," said Hufford.
QPD says they will be increasing patrols in this area, and will continue to use speed trailers to monitor the situation.
The minimum cost for a speeding ticket in Quincy is $120.

Illusive Consensus8 Reviews
Gerard, Bandit, and Frank enjoy a nice day out. Still, Gerard feels haunted.
Also I wanted to take note that the store I mentioned in this chapter is a real place. So, if you're a Harry Potter fan who lives in California, you might wanna give them a visit. They're pretty cool. Dunno if they'd really let you play with their stuff though. XD
Here's their website: http://www.whimsicalley.com/
Anyway, hope you enjoy. :3
Chapter Seven: Illusive Consensus
A rattled Gerard sat on the floor in a corner of Bandit's bedroom, cross legged, with his laptop. Bandit was still asleep. It was about 5 AM, and Gerard was feeling too disturbed to sleep. He experienced a dream, no, a nightmare --- nay, a night terror that had caused him to awaken, screaming in a cold sweat. He didn't remember the details all that well, but he had the image of his baby, slaughtered and mangled, imprinted in his mind. Gerard had immediately dashed over to Bandit's room, just for the peace of mind that she was okay. Now he couldn't bring himself to leave. He found himself glancing over in Bandit's direction constantly. He spent his time going through pictures on his laptop of he and Lindsey from one of their trips to Universal Studios Orlando back when they were dating. Gerard was often very prone to nightmares, and Lindsey was always the one who would comfort him afterwards, she had always been there to make him feel safe again. She would make him some warm milk, stroke his hair, wrap him in her arms until he was ready to fall asleep once more.
Now there was no one.
Gerard wondered how she was doing. Wondered if this was as hard for her as it was for him. It had been the most painful thing, turning his back on her when they last spoke. It had taken every bit of his willpower to not say I love you back. He wanted to say it because it was what he was supposed to say, yet he wasn't sure if he'd be lying to her if he did. He had gone home and cried after.
Did he still love her? While he was still angry at her, Gerard also knew these things just don't die overnight. Lindsey had been his best friend and life partner for so many years. She was who made him feel complete at last. He wondered if she missed them at all. Because god knows he missed her.
Or at least, the person she used to be.
He continued to contemplate when it hit around 6 AM, and he heard a voice. Frank's voice. It sounded as though he were talking to someone on the phone. The guest room was right next to Bandit's room, so Gerard could make out words pretty clearly by just leaning his head against the wall.
"...I'm doing great at Gerard's......yeah he made this rice dish tonight, it was fucking beast.... he does seem a little down....I don't wanna make him feel uncomfortable if he doesn't wanna talk about it....me? I'm fine....can we not talk about this?.....how does that make me a hypocrite?....couples counseling? With Jamia? Are you fucking crazy?....because she's just going to make it more than it is.... there's nothing to say about it! It was an affair, and now we're over...."
An affair? Gerard nearly let out an audible gasp and he covered his mouth with his hand quickly. Jamia had cheated on Frankie? Gerard felt his blood boil, and a hot rage flashed over him for a moment. How fucking dare she! How dare she hurt his Frankie, after all he's done for her? After how good he's been to her? He was Frank fucking Iero for god sakes, he could have women far more attractive than she, but year after year, Gerard has watched Frank continue to be faithful to Jamia, and this is how she repays him? Gerard had the right mind to call Jamia up right then and there and give her the yelling of her life.
Oh, and poor Frankie! Gerard frowned. He immediately went about plotting ways he could make Frank feel better. He, after all, knew all too well how much it hurt to be losing the love of your life.
"Get your coat on, we're going downtown!",Gerard yelled into up the stair case at the guest bedroom. He helped Bandit button up her pink cashmere sweater, and he put a matching pink sun hat on her head.
"For what?", Frank yelled back at him.
"I wanna go shopping!" Gerard answered.
"Oh lord…", he heard Frank mutter.
"Daddy, ice cweam afta?", Bandit asked Gerard hopefully.
Gerard smiled, leaned in, and said in a hushed voice, "We'll get some after we're done shopping but don't tell Uncle Frank, it's a surprise."
Gerard put a finger up to his lips and nose and made a "shh" noise to indicate a secret, and Bandit imitated him after as though to show she understood.
Once everyone was in the car, they drove off into the city. Gerard weaved through the horrid LA traffic for what felt like an hour, with both Bandit and Frank whining impatiently at him the whole way through. Finally, they arrived at their destination. A small little shop had the sign "Whimsic Alley" over it. Frank cocked his head curiously, and Bandit squealed happily. It seemed she knew where they were, and was quite pleased about it. He followed Gerard and Bandit into the store.
"Holy shit, no way!", Frank gaped.
At first, he thought he had walked into some sort of Halloween store. He then realized it was a store full of nothing but Harry Potter goodies: Hogwarts robes and hats, wizard candies, professionally crafted wands, porcelain models of characters, and so on. Bandit immediately wanted to touch everything in sight. Frank automatically went for the Gryffindor items, and Gerard reached for anything Slytherin. They tried on everything they possibly could. Gerard flaunted around in a Slytherin scarf that Frank said he looked fabulous in, and Gee fit Frank into all sorts of different hats. Frank skimmed through all the Harry Potter analogy books, and Bandit showed Gerard all the stuffed toys she wanted him to buy her. Frank and Gerard started eyeing the robes, both of them pressing a robe to themselves and asking each other how they looked.
"We'd make fucking awesome wizards.", Frank laughed.
"Hell yeah, you, me, Mikey, and Ray -- we'd be like, the marauders. But cooler than those guys!", Gerard chuckled.
"You'd be the devilishly handsome James.", Frank smirked.
"And you, obviously Sirius.", Gerard grinned.
"Ray would be.....", Frank thought.
"Lupin.", they said together.
"...Does that mean Mikey is Pettigrew?", Frank snorted.
Gerard doubled over laughing, "Yeah I guess he is! We'll have to tell him that..."
Gerard saw Frank flinch when he looked at the price tag of the robes. His face fell a little. Gerard quickly snatched the robe from his hand and walked past him over to the cashier.
"Gerard what are you doing?", Frank followed him.
"Buying them, silly!", Gerard replied.
"Gerard...", Frank lowered the volume of his voice, ".... they're a bit pricey."
"You like them don't you?"
"Well... yeah but...."
"Well then there you go.", Gerard smiled at him while he paid for the robes along with the stuffed toys Bandit wanted.
A slight blush crept to Frank's cheeks before he chuckled and said, "Well I guess this makes me your bitch for the day doesn't it?"
"OH yeah.", Gerard laughed.
They went out to ice cream after. Frank was elated, and Bandit nearly ran out of the car from excitement before Gerard got to even park the car. In truth, this is a typical family treat day that Gerard would take Lindsey and Bandit out for. Lindsey. No! He refused to think of her! Not now, anyway...
"Gerard, you coming?" Frank yelled.
Gerard realized he was still in his car, and had been sitting and staring in the driver's seat while Frank and Bandit were already waiting outside the Coldstone Creamery. Gerard mentally tried to slap himself out of it and he got out of the car and joined them.
While inside, Frank took a while deciding what he wanted. Gerard, Bandit, and... well... her always got the same flavors, so they were all ready when the server asked what they wanted.
"I'll have one scoop of the chocolate with strawberry toppings, in a cup. One scoop strawberry with sprinkles, also in a cup...."
"Mint wid chocolate!", a small voice piped up beside him. Gerard winced. Bandit was ordering for her mother. It's what she always got. Mint with chocolate chips. His mind began flooding with thoughts of her again. Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder bring him back to reality. Frank.
"Um, two scoops of coffee in a cone yeah?", Frank asked the server.
Frank insisted on paying for the ice cream. They found a place to sit, and Frank frowned as he noticed Gerard had somewhat clammed up. He too remember Lindsey's favorite ice cream.
Frank sighed and spoke in a low voice, "Gerard, exactly how much have you told Bandit about this whole situation?"
"Well. She doesn't really remember anything from the incident. I just... I just told her Lindsey was going away on vacation for a little while.", Gerard shifted uncomfortably.
"I see.", was all Frank had to say. They sat in silence for a while, just eating their ice cream. Eventually Frank brought up the subject of ideas for the new album, and the mood picked up again. Gerard couldn't have been more relieved.
He was in a hospital room... Lindsey was in labor... she was pushing.... he was holding her hand tightly, cheering her on......the baby's head began crowning....it was coming out slowly....he was so excited....but it had no skin.....
"Gerard! GERARD!"
"NO!", Gerard bolted up in his bed. He looked to his side, and Frank was beside him looking frightened.
"I heard you screaming." Frank began to explain, "I ---"
But before he could finish his sentence, Gerard collapsed into him and began sobbing hysterically. Frank sighed and wrapped his arms around him, rocking him back and forth slowly.
"Shh... it's okay, it's just a dream babe...", he whispered to him soothingly.
"I destroyed my family.... I ruined it....", Gerard sobbed helplessly.
"Shh, shh....You ruined nothing, Gerard. No one blames you.", Frank tried to reassure him.
Gerard continued to sob and Frank continued to hold him for a very long time. Frank felt terrible watching Gerard break down like this. Holding him in his arms and feeling him shaking and shuddering against him. Hearing his pained sobs and cries. It hadn't been this way since back when Gerard was doing drugs, back when he was depressed and suicidal. He was supposed to be happy now. He deserved to be happy. It wasn't fair.
Once Gerard had calmed down a little, Frank backed away a bit and asked if there was anything he could do.
"A cup of warm milk would be nice.", Gerard said in a meek voice and sniffed.
Frank almost smiled. Gerard really was such a child sometimes.
"Sure thing babe."
As Gerard watched Frank walk out of the room to fetch him his milk, he felt for the first time like things might turn out okay after all.
