With the amount of speaking roles, let alone saber-wielding roles, there is in the six "Star Wars" movies in its existence, it's understandable that a huge number of actors have walked into the Lucasfilm casting office – only to be turned away. What you might be surprised to learn is that quite a few of the rejected have actually gone on to become stoutly appealing names in the industry.
Here are ten actors who near got to visit that Galaxy Far, Far Away….
Glynn Turman – Han Solo ("Star Wars : A New Hope")
At first, George Lucas planned the character of Han Solo to be a huge green-skinned monster with no nose and gills. He fortunately soon changed his mind and made the character a man – an African-American. Actor Glynn Turman, best known as Mayor Clarence V. Royce on TV's "The Wire", was Lucas's pick over Billy Dee Williams to the part. As it turned out, Williams would be the one who had the last laugh – been hired to play Lando Calrissian in the series, while Turman was tossed out in favour of local carpenter and white-guy Harrison Ford.
Turman recalled, "That was in George Lucas' book. Apparently George Lucas had me in mind for the role, and then thought that there might be too much controversy between a white Princess Leia and a black Han Solo – because those were the times – and he didn't want to get into that. At the time, I had no idea. I just went to the audition, did it and got out of there."
William Katt – Luke Skywalker ("Star Wars : A New Hope")
Katt, from Brian De Palma's "Carrie", auditioned for the part of the cream-suited Farm boy. At one stage, Katt's "Carrie" co-star Sissy Spacek was being considered to play Leia. As it turned out, Katt and many other blonde-haired boys at the time – including future 'Freddy Krueger' Robert Englund – were passed over in favour of newcomer Mark Hamill.
Said Katt, "[De Palma] and George Lucas conducted auditions at the same time, so originally the auditions were for Tommy Ross in Carrie, but they were also auditioning for Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. I auditioned with Kurt Russell, he was going for Han Solo, and I was luckily enough to get the Carrie role."
Cindy Williams – Princess Leia ("Star Wars : A New Hope")
"Laverne & Shirley" star Cindy Williams was 'this close' to wearing the brown buns… until Debbie Reynolds' daughter walked into the casting office, astonishing Lucas and his peeps with her terrific turn as the intergalactic princess.
Carrie Fisher had also bet Berlin singer Teri Nunn, Melanie Griffith (who was indecisive, and couldn't decide whether it was for her or not) and Teri Lynn to the part.
Jim Henson – Yoda ("Star Wars : The Empire Strikes Back")
'Muppet' man Henson was the first to be asked to provide the voice of veteran Jedi Yoda, the wisest midget in Dagobah, but Henson – either because of his many Television commitments, or because he thought someone else could do a better job – instead passed the job onto his friend and colleague Frank Oz, his co-star on "The Muppet Show".
Michael Angarano – Anakin Skywalker ("Star Wars : The Phantom Menace")
Before deciding on Jake Lloyd ("Jingle All The Way"), George Lucas seriously considered "For Richer or Poorer" star Michael Angarano for the role of young Anakin Skywalker. Angarano lost the part, but would play the 'younger' version of another character in a major movie – young William in 2000's "Almost Famous".
Angarano has since gone on to star in such films as "Seabiscuit", "Red State" and "Haywire" – with Ewan 'Obi-Wan' McGregor.
Kenneth Branagh – Obi-Wan Kenobi ("Star Wars : The Phantom Menace")
Likely age cost him the role (Ewan McGregor was a bit younger), but George Lucas's initial idea to cast British thesp Kenneth Branagh ("Much Ado About Nothing", "Peter's Friends") as the young Obi-Wan wasn't a bad idea.
Having said that, Branagh might still make a fitting addition to the 'Star Wars' world ("Thor" fans might agree); if we were to get a glimpse of the "Star Wars : Episode VII" director wish-list might we see Branagh's name on it? It wouldn't at all surprise me if so.
Benicio Del Toro – Darth Maul ("Star Wars : The Phantom Menace")
Screen gangster Benicio Del Toro, then a hot commodity thanks to his role in "The Usual Suspects", was originally hired to portray the devilish sith, Darth Maul. When George Lucas decided to cut most of Maul's lines from the film, Del Toro walked. Stuntman Ray Park took over the part.
As it turned out, Park scored his most famous role – and likely made a pretty penny – out of playing the mostly-mute Darth Maul, a character that – though killed off in 'The Phantom Menace' – went on to become easily the most popular character in the entire prequel trilogy.
Sybill Danning – Sexy Witch ("Star Wars : The Phantom Menace")
B-movie Queen Danning was originally offered the role of a Sexy Witch who seduces Anakin to the dark side (as it turned out, no 'sexy witch' seduced the youngster to the dark side. Anakin didn't swap teams until the third film in the prequel trilogy) but Lucas dropped the idea.
To see just how sexy Ms Danning is – and how effortlessly she would've coaxed young Anakin over to the dark side – you can check out such films as "Battle Beyond the Stars", "Howling II : Your Sister is a Werewolf", "God's Gun" and "Grindhouse", in which she appears in one of the faux trailers between the two flicks – "Werewolf Women of the SS". She next appears in a vampire film called "The Last Revenants".
Colin Hanks – Anakin Skywalker ("Star Wars : Attack of the Clones")
Hanks, son of Oscar Winner Tom and a star on the TV show "Roswell" at the time (cutting his science-fiction teeth!), was one of a half-a-dozen actors short-listed for the role of Anakin Skywalker.
The main reason Hanks (or Paul Walker, Jonathan Brandis or Ryan Phillippe) didn't get the part was because Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman were said to have the best chemistry in the screen tests.
Hanks, one of the most amiable guys in the business, has said he'd have loved to have been part of any of the "Star Wars" films. But ya know son, "Orange County" ain't too shabby a consolation prize.

Talking about the education system in China, you'll find six years of elementary school, three years of middle school, and three years of high school. Describing the first day of school in the regular little city school, Peter Hessler wrote in The New Yorker, The loudspeakers crackle, along with music comes in for the flag raising. The older kids, wearing the red scarves of the Young Pioneers, marched in position while the national anthem played. An average school has several educational and sports facilities other than a chalkboard, some desks, seats along with a Chinese flag along with courtyard where kids play. Calvin Henrick wrote in the Boston Globe, Medfield social studies tutor Richard DeSorgher, who spent six weeks in Bengbu, said the variations between the two systems are stark.
He said students in China spend extended hours at school, along with extra time being tutored on nights along with weekends for college entrance examinations. Course sizes of up to 60 pupils mean rote learning can be common, he said. DeSorgher said he asked the typical Chinese-born student living in Medfield for guidance before the trip. He said, allow it to be fun. The more you may make it fun, the more they'll need to continue to learn English. Describing the class room for a kindergarten class in a little city school, Peter Hessler wrote in The New Yorker, The class room was dirty, and there is a hole in the ceiling.
The board was chipped and scarred. Twenty kids sat at their desks, every one of them playing with a stack of Lego-like bricks. There were only three girls. There was no bathroom. Almost all students between the second and 6th grades are expected to join along with wearing a red kerchief to school every day, except when the weather is extraordinarily hot plus they wear a red pin instead. However, the Chinese education system always prepares the kids for a future, so they are almost professionals in something when they leave the school at 20 years, they use for it a very impressive system of career coaching during the whole school life.

It would be glib to say that safety equipment has had a huge influence on automobiles in the past 20 years. The result of cars being massively more safe than they were not long ago has made them bigger, heavier, more expensive, more challenging to develop, harder to fix and harder for emergency responders to deal with. That's just what it takes to try and keep people safe when they're wielding two-ton battle tanks in close quarters.

For the sake of safer cars, it sounds like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration could be moving to create stricter crash tests that are similar to (and potentially even more rigorous) than what the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently instituted. In an interview with Automotive News, chief NHTSA administrator David Strickland said that the agency is looking into adding a new offset test as well as an angled impact test.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has unveiled a new crash testing methodology in dramatic fashion – by dinging some of the most popular entry luxury sedans for failing to adequately protect the driver during certain types of crashes. The 2012 Acura TSX, 2012 BMW 3-Series, 2012 Lincoln MKZ and 2012 Volkswagen CC were all deemed "marginal," while the 2012 Audi A4, 2012 Lexus ES, 2012 Lexus IS, and 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class were called "poor" by the testing group.

USA Today reports that the 2011 Honda Civic is the latest such victim after the popular compact sedan received an overall score of three stars; down one star from the 2010 model year.

A Christmas Memory

Parents need to know that a child drinks a little whiskey and lives with an assortment of relatives instead of with his parents. Otherwise there is nothing to be concerned about, and much to be enjoyed.

What's the story?
Truman Capote recalls a Christmas past, when he was 7 years old and living with an assortment of relatives. One, a 60ish, rather childlike distant cousin, is his best, and only, friend, as he is hers. Each year they save up money to buy the ingredients they can't gather for free to make 30 fruitcakes, which they send mostly to strangers they admire.
Capote relates in some detail their four-day extravaganza of gathering, preparing, and baking, and the homely way they spend the holidays together. Includes a CD of Celeste Holm reading the story.
Is it any good?
This new 50th-anniversary edition of Truman Capote's delightful, poignant, and now classic story could not be more perfectly suited to the text. The delicate watercolor illustrations, taken from a 1989 edition, capture the understated gentleness of the story, while on the accompanying CD Celeste Holm reads the text in a warm, grandmotherly voice with a slight Southern lilt and a humorous enthusiasm.
A CHRISTMAS MEMORY, more vignette than story, captures with great gentleness and fascinating detail a distant time of wood-burning stoves, chamber pots, open fields, and a slower pace. For today's children this is a glimpse of a world that is almost beyond imagination, and more compelling than fantasy. It is a sleepy book to be shared between adult and child. This is one of those stories they'll ask for every year, and you'll be glad to bring it out again and, curling up with a child you love, take a trip to a time long gone.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the unusual friendship. Why do Buddy and his elderly cousin have such a close friendship? Why do the adults treat her the way they do? Your children may want to make fruitcake for their friends after reading it.

If you'll remember, this pricey piece of pumped-up solid-rear-axled snake meat may wrap itself around your wallet like a boa, but it'll give your GT500 a boost to either 600 or 725 HP depending on which package you choose.

I think what Ville brings up is an interesting topic that has caused a few ripples way back when with the older posters.
In the big picture view, everything is personal preference. So in that sense, nothing is wrong. Its your taste/money and you should wear whatever makes you happy. But if this site is to be viewed as an enthusiast community, where people come to teach and to learn, then there has to be a framework. No different than other enthusiasts communities (like watches, food etc). There is nothing wrong with a diamond encrusted Rolex, but I probably shouldn't wear it to my job interview at IBM.
Addressing Ville's post, there is a city/country difference in shoes, suits, shirts etc. There are also reasons for the differences, many of which have been hashed out here many times. If you choose to ignore them, that is perfectly fine (I ignore some myself) but you would benefit from knowing the "rule" in order to know how to break it. The great thing about classic menswear is that there is a large body of work that you can draw upon to see "correct" applications, and that the tools of our trade have remained unchanged for over 50 years. Suits/shirts/ties have pretty much remained the same for decades. You look at what people who are considered great dressers (past and present) wear and you take what you can from them. You adjust the choices to fit in with your lifestyle (unless you are a British aristocrat you probably can't get away with some of the Duke's outfits) and you start to develop your style from there. Its an evolving process, at least it has been for me. So what does this all have to do with what Ville said? Well, if there is no right or wrong and its just personal preference, there is no evolution. In that world, we are all great dressers, all of our choices are fine and there is nothing to learn. Scotch grain shoes are fine with a tuxedo, work boots with suits, captoes with jeans etc. What Ville is saying is that, historically (and presently), textured leathers are used in country settings. That does not mean that you have to be a slave to that "rule" but to say that its simply personal preference or a stupid rule, is spitting in the face of the Bruce Boyers/Alan Flussers/Duke/Cary Grant's etc etc etc.
Now I know that RogerP is not someone that I am ever going to see wearing sneakers with a suit and you do not need preaching to, so I know where your post is coming from but there are a lot of guys on here that have the "fuck it, this is my style" attitude even though they have a tremendous lack of style. WAYWN has become very similar to the AskAndy WAYWN that people here used to bemoan and that caused a lot of the Ask Andy people to come over here. There has to be more that "RoboKop!!! and everything being "Amazeballs!!!" for the forum to mean anything. Otherwise its just a mastubatory group exercise; all the purchases are great, all the applications of those purchases are great and everyone looks amazing.
Disclaimer: This is not a dig at the boots mentioned or at RogerP or at anyone that uses Amazeballs.
Well said Ed - no dig taken.
The boots under discussion are not something I would choose to wear with a suit. Two tones, two textures, contrast stitching, split toe and open lacing all combine to take them out of the dress boot category for me. But for a casual / country boot, I think they are pretty Amazeballs.post #2028 of 62923/29/14 at 2:22pmSomebody on here was thinking of getting some contrasting grains in some oxfords. I brought up formality of it. It is something I struggle with as I like grains very much, but mostly dress very formally. I think once I have 50 pairs of shoes I will go that route.
I find that artificial grains have their place in utility. I wear scotch grain boots in the snow. The stamped grain tightens up the pores, or it seems, giving them extra water permeability. They don't get has soaked and water beads off of them in a manner it doesn't with uncorrected calf.post #2029 of 62923/29/14 at 2:24pm
We all know that St. Crispins makes amazing shoes, but some of the materials and combinations are rather out there....

I reckon it's also due to the vendor the buyer is dealing with. I know for sure that my vendor, Mr Karl Sussmann would scrunch his face up with a massive frown if I wanted certain makes on this thread.

No gentleman would ask...
Seriously, I keep some extra long undershirts that, if necessary...and very Traditional...I could tie underneath. Don't try to make a mental image. But at certain events, I don't--it's "regimental" all the way.. No one who takes the kilt seriously does...that I know of, at any rate.
Trouble is and by way of answering the second part of your question I had my kilt made of 16 ounce wool from Marton Mills (? I think that's the one) in Scotland. Wool can be very chafing on sensitive parts of the anatomy. Again, avoid mental images.
I actually have two kilts--a 10 yard Scottish National pleated to the stripe (like military kilts); and a 4 yard box pleated Black MacSuibhne. The box pleated kilt went out of favour in the late 19th century(?) but is very Traditional. The Black MacSuibhne was designed for me as a subdued version of the MacQueen (a variation of MacSween--the clan I am distantly related to) and registered with the Scottish Tartans Authority in my name. MacSuibhne is pronounced MacSween and due to the idiosyncrasies of Gaelic, MacQueen is a variation of MacSween. After Bannockburn most MacSweens migrated to Ireland. Those that were left, adopted the MacQueen variation for defensive reasons.
The oldest still standing stone castle in Scotland is Castle Sween on Loch Sween.
And now you know more than you ever wanted to know about kilts and this auld crabbit.
--post #2031 of 62923/29/14 at 2:42pmI only know three things about Scotland. Loch Ness, of course because of the mystical sea creature, and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin owned Allister Crowley's Boleskine house on said lake. Also, of a town called Calendar, that an old substitute teacher used to talk about in high school lucidly. Lastly, Scotland is considering separating from the European Union, which in my own uninformed opinion would be a mistake. Now I have some more knowledge! Thank you!post #2032 of 62923/30/14 at 7:05am
Ed has more patience than I for detailed SF posts, he put it so much better than that blind, terse shot of mine. So...thank you. No one will be shot for wearing grain with a suit but smooth leathers will always look more formal, that is, if this is something the dresser was after. Usually I just remain silent when I've nothing positive or interesting to add but there are times when grumpiness sets in.post #2033 of 62923/30/14 at 7:44am

It is the United Kingdom (or at least popular opinion within the UK) that is considering separating from the European Union (EU). Scotland is considering severing the Union with England (as part of the'United Kingdom') and to become a separate nation state.
If Scotland were to decide in about six months time (Referendum is on September 18th) to become an independent nation, their membership within the European Union (as part of the UK) would automatically seize, but an independent Scotland is likely to apply forthwith to become a member of the EU.

I'm glad you brought that up. Mainly because that post didn't come across as one of your usual posts. They're normally constructive.
We all know the cost of a St Crispins boot along with their fit. If the guy wants to spend his hard earned dollar bills on those two things and does it to his own
design for a particular aesthetic then so be it. It's irrelevant that we like or dislike it and there should be no insinuation that some antiquated dogma may have
been ignoredpost #2035 of 62923/30/14 at 8:32am

Slavishly adhering to "Tradition," to cultural norms, to accepted standards may seem rigid and outdated, but the fact that these "memes" have come down to us through literally hundreds of years, in most cases, is not insignificant. They have stood the test of time and been found to exemplify the best practices and best expectations of those who look to them.
The problem is that it is actually easier to become a prisoner of iconoclasm...even nihilism...than to orthodoxy. It's easier because it absolves a person of the need/responsibility to understand the motives and insights that inform Tradition or cultural standards. And thereby absolves a person of the need to understand anything or anyone outside of themselves.
So what are we talking about? What's the purpose of posting to a community that holds certain "truths to be self-evident"? If it's only to discredit hairy old shibboleths, that's not particularly constructive.
In passing, I agree with you about it being "irrelevant...". But you've just dismissed all the many, many "me too"ers and four word ego-strokers on the board. And given even more credence to what Edmoral was intimating when he said that without convention, Tradition, even dogma, "its just a mastubatory group exercise; all the purchases are great, all the applications of those purchases are great and everyone looks amazing." (my apologies to Edmoral if I got it wrong)post #2036 of 62923/30/14 at 8:40am

aesthetic is aesthetic and a personal choice . . . . choice being the operative word
unlike one of my own screw ups with a shoe design & materials choice, the boot which began the discussion isn't for any of us to judge
using 'tradition' or any other mantra as a basis.
granted, experience is learning & knowing the rules and expertise is knowing how and when to bend the rule but even then if whatever
works for whomever then it's a winner for that person for that purposepost #2038 of 62923/30/14 at 9:10am

Truth is I don't judge any shoe or boot by anything but quality of materials and techniques...many of which, most of which, are informed by Tradition even if only as a pale substitute/pretense for and of Traditional values. And I don't pay much attention to conventions such as black is formal and brown is not. ( I can't afford it and anyway, all my shoes are black)
But purely in the spirit of mental exercise...it strikes me, being at a distance, that your remarks only emphasize a focus on the personal and the ego-centric. One can make the points you made but I don't see how they can be made without dismissing all reference to other people. In point of fact, they seem to me...a dyed in the wool iconoclast in his own right...to be almost solipsistic.
All of which belies the fact(?) that we're voluntarily part of a community...just by posting here.post #2039 of 62923/30/14 at 9:24amQuote:Originally Posted by DWFII

of course you use materials & technique as your benchmark . . . . you're a shoemaker having simmered in
quality of workmanship I don't give anything remotely close to a rat's patoot that a choice is egocentric.
Because it IZ. Otherwise there would not be much more than a single pair per person of true quality with
each likely following the tradition of looking like the other and creating the 'norm'.
Yes, I do know the statement is to the extreme . . . . just for the helluvit not unlike my shoe I referencedpost #2040 of 62923/30/14 at 10:14am
I should clarify that the said rule breaking boots were made to be a casual boot. They will never be worn with a suit, as I only own one, which I only wear to weddings and God forbid funerals.

My goal with these was to create a boot similar to the EG Nevis with a similar scheme as the dark oak/walnut country calf Galways.

Polish Manufacturing Shrank Most in Five Months in MarchPiotr Skolimowski
Poland's manufacturing contraction deepened in March and the government signaled it may seek a wider budget deficit this year as the economic slowdown saps revenue.
The purchasing managers' index, a gauge of manufacturing, fell to the lowest since October, undermining chances for a "firm" recovery in 2013, HSBC Holdings Plc said today in an e-mailed statement. Poland's reputation with investors wouldn't suffer even if its deficit widened to around 4 percent of economic output, Ludwik Kotecki, the Finance Ministry's chief economist, told Gazeta Wyborcza in an interview today.
The European Union's largest eastern economy is seeking to avoid the steepest slowdown in 12 years as demand for its exports from the euro area wanes while rising unemployment curbs consumer spending. The deficit reached 61 percent of the annual target at the end of February and Finance Minister Jacek Rostowski said last week the government is ready to revise the 2013 budget if needed, though the situation wasn't "critical."
"The Finance Ministry is preparing investors step-by-step for a higher deficit this year," Jaroslaw Janecki, chief economist for Poland at Societe Generale SA in Warsaw, said in an e-mailed report.
'Disappointing Result'
The PMI fell to 48 from 48.9 in February, below the 48.7 median estimate of 23 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. A result above 50 indicates expansion, while a figure below that shows contraction. The pace of manufacturing decline quickened for the first time since September as new orders fell for a 14th month, HSBC said.
"This is a disappointing result that highlights that the bottoming out of the 2012 slowdown continues to be questionable," Agata Urbanska, an economist for central and eastern Europe at HSBC, said by e-mail.
Poland should find a "reasonable compromise" between the requirement to reduce the so-called "structural" deficit and boosting growth by allowing the nominal gap to widen, Kotecki was quoted as saying by Wyborcza. His comments were confirmed by Wieslawa Drozdz, the ministry's spokeswoman.
The deficit will probably be raised by around 10 billion zloty ($3.1 billion) from the current 35.6 billion zloty, Piotr Kalisz, chief economist for Poland at Citigroup Inc. in Warsaw, said in an e-mailed note today. He predicts the revision will take place in the middle of the year.
The European Commission estimates that the budget gap narrowed to 3.5 percent of gross domestic product last year from 5 percent in 2011, a level that would probably allow Poland to exit the so-called excessive deficit procedure, Kotecki said. The deficit is expected to reach 3.4 percent this year, according to estimates from the EU's executive.
Budget Assumption
The government has based its budget on the assumption that the economy will expand by 2.2 percent this year. The central bank projects 1.3 percent growth, the weakest since 2001, and the March PMI was consistent with that estimate, Andrzej Slawinski, head of the Narodowy Bank Polski's research institute, said today on TVN CNBC.
While Poland has so far avoided the worst of the euro-area crisis, that isn't "much consolation" as 2013 could prove to be a "most difficult" year for growth, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a news conference in Warsaw today. He called for greater cooperation between the government, central bank and financial-market regulator to boost lending to help shield the economy from the debt crisis.
Easing Pause
The central bank has cut interest rates by a total of 150 basis points since November to a record-low of 3.25 percent to boost the economy. They will now pause to gauge the impact of monetary easing, according to a March 6 statement.
Kotecki said policy makers cut borrowing costs "too little, too late." The inflation rate, which the central bank targets at 2.5 percent in the medium term, may decline to 0.6 percent in "the summer," he said.
Last month, manufacturers cut their prices by the most since index data were first collected in January 2003 as companies said they had to "offer discounts in order to remain competitive," according to HSBC. Employment declined for the seventh month, the longest streak in more than three years.

This cute yellow rain poncho is made from shower-resistant plastic fabric, has a tie-up front to keep the water drops away from your clothing and features duck eyes and beak detail to the hood.
As well as looking fantastic, the duck is also practical with a large pocket to the front to store and keep dry your valuables.
It also includes a drawstring bag, so you can easily stash it back away when the sun decides to shine.
Sizes for this costume are:
I don't think that I will be the ugly duckling in this costume; I have teamed it up with a little duckling hat, wristband and tail. It will be light to wear and it has full use of arms and legs so it is not too restrictive. The only problem that I have found is that it arrived very crunched up - I know it was in a little pouch and the folds would have been OK but this looked as if it had been shoved into the pouch - I have tried washing it and hanging it on the washing line in the hope that the weight of the water would pull the crinkles out but it has not done so.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'GS Boxers' started by darmahman, Sep 10, 2005.
Didn't know about it till now!! Of course it was cool, and damp while I was there. There was a wedding going on, my bike was in a couple of their shots!!!
I had to go full screen on that photo. She could be my wife's identical twin sister! No shit!
Hey 12ozPoint, that bike is in beautiful shape!
If I may recommend something: http://www.advdesigns.com/r1gsaenguex.html
Those engine guards are extremely strong, and will keep the slick aluminum covers looking good if you happen to set the bike down (like I did with my new GSA at the Wisconsin Dual Sport Riders event a couple of weeks ago.) Wasn't even moving.....the bike just dropped into tall grass, and the aluminum guard is all mashed up and the valve cover started leaking.
I just installed those engine guards by Adventure Designs. Takes less than an hour, and will save a bunch of money in the long run.
I just traded in my f800gs and picked this up a week and a half ago and I love it! No farkles yet, but they're coming
Forgot you were riding the GS not the KLR?
I got mine about 3 weeks ago and just finishing the base farkles , so perhaps you can consider it a role model
LED Lights Next!
From this...

Took the black vinyl off and put some military green matte on

Hi Guys! Long term lurker signing in.

For the love of god... please get it dirty.... it's way too clean!

Sick. Love it.
New to me 2011 adv. Bought it in San Diego, rode it back to Vegas.
Got to say that was a great vid. Pics, music, timing - outstanding ! Thank u for making it, i really enjoyed that, and you're right - that is one of the best sermons you will "hear" if you have ears to. That's what the bible calls God's general revalation - a gift from Him to us.
Good job, thanks again.

Outlook One accusation frequently levelled against the previous Labour Government was that it was too fond of introducing new taxes presented as action on climate change that were, in reality, just new sources of revenue. After the Treasury's smash-and-grab raid on the carbon reduction commitment (CRC) scheme, the Coalition faces exactly the same criticism.
This was an arrangement – companies buy carbon allowances and are rewarded with rebates if they succeed in getting emissions down – originally envisaged as being revenue neutral. So the £1bn that the Treasury now expects to earn from the scheme, as it pockets the money spent on allowances but pays out no rebates, represents quite a chunky hit on the 5,000 businesses affected.
The change in the rules will not jeopardise the scheme's aims: it will still be in the interests of companies to get emissions down, so as to minimise the bill for allowances in the first place. Nor is the whingeing of some firms about extra administration justified – the preparation for the CRC scheme should already have been done and the only thing that is changing is that businesses can no longer expect a cheque to arrive if they perform well.
Still, this is a dishonest way to conduct tax policy. It is one thing to announce a tax rise on the grounds that you need the revenue, but quite another to alter the tax system so as to prioritise green issues. Confusing these two policy goals, as the Government has now done, will make moving to a tax system designed with climate change in mind, as we surely must, all the more difficult. Having been stung once in this way, businesses will be even more suspicious about the next green tax initiative. The Treasury has just lost a big slice of environmental credibility.Reuse content

Port Ghalib just before Marsa Alam is a superb resort with high grade aminities and three excellent hotels to chose from (I have not seen the fourth more pragmatic Marina Lodge yet)
From a bazar, to many large smiles, to top notch finishes, to the choice between good hotel restaurants or stepping out for a 5min walk to the marina and getting street price food at bistros or even Pizza Hut, the choice is yours.
The pools (including heated options) and the beach are very well done and maintained.
The Kids Club is also a great asset although its operating hours should be extended in my point of view and may be add an evening shift for parents keen on adults dinner.
The one weakness, which was not an issue but can become one, is the staff professionalism and experience. I've been staying at Priority Club hotels for years and know the high standards of training they usually have, this time I noticed several of the staff lacked the training or discipline in dealing with guests; from the Guest Relations Mgr who is glued to her desk sending emails vs attending to guests asking for help or even meeting guests around the hotel, to the recreation manager & concierge who are nice but knew nothing about the area and what is there to do to the restaurant waiters who argued with each other or some that were too friendly with the guests especially female guests. I didn't make a fuss of it, despite my interest in Priority Club hotels, this time as I felt pity for the low occupancy and thus income all must be enduring even during the usually peak season.
Again, this is not a major issue and I will definitely be returning during my next holidays to the same hotel.
The one thing I hope for though is that the rooms get equipped with Wifi in the near future, I was lucky to be close to the reception to pick its signal, but other rooms were supposed to use the LAN/Wired Cable which is not practical and going to the reception is not convenient
