Discussion in 'Ride Reports - Epic Rides' started by AntiHero, Jul 13, 2012.
Great RR AntiHero!
I have been following you silently, enjoying the pictures and appreciating your comments on your adventures.
Thank you.
About Europe: If in Italy ... drop me a line and I will be honored to host you in Trento.
Inspired? Yes, I suppose. But I went through a very similar episode in my life. A long term relationship with a gal that decided that she needed to suddenly " go ". The "it's not you" BS.
This began my " journey". My episode of wander. My living life close to the edge. I left what I hadn't lost and...
That was just over 5 years ago.
I am now good but memories will always remain. And for me that is a good thing. But I still find solace with the open road. And in a few months I will be on the highway with my SuperDuke. Destination not known.
When you make it up to the Bay Area feel free to contact me. We can get dining in the City. Always love good food and conversation.
As to the inspiration. I think I will limit myself to just a tank bag and a backpack. (And debit card)
I'm starting to think the same way, I've been camping the GS way and carrying about a hundred pounds worth of gear and sleeping in a tent rain or shine cold or hot and now I'm going to be seventy this year i'm thinking hotel motel and hostel is the way to go and who needs more than a few days worth of underwear. That is what they make laundry mats for is it not. ?
SuperDuke! Nice. Hopefully you get at least 300-400 miles away before you lose your license, hooligan. :)
I'll be in the Bay Area soon....
LA: Though I never quite felt at home there, I felt at home when I returned. And though I had a short time there--3 months in 2010, 9 in 2011-12, I seem to have no shortage of lucid memories. There's some sort of special significance Los Angeles has that I don't understand yet, like some clue in a David Lynch or Tarantino movie that will only reveal its purpose to me at some later date.
I had no idea what I was going to do. I thought traveling around the country would give me clarity. I thought I'd have found at least 3 or 4 cities where I'd want to live. I thought I'd be sick and tired of Kwai Chang Caining it around the US. But I had no clarity and I didn't want to stop. But none-the-less, I had to. I had projects and ideas and financial things to attend to. I needed to stay in one place for at least a few weeks so I could get my affairs in order, so to speak. My ex offered to let me stay with her for a few days, but the lease was up on our old place, so that wasn't a long-term solution.
The facts were:
I had no home
I didn't want one
I couldn't stop
I couldn't keep going (winter)
There was a rather bulletproof FJ sitting there in the driveway, though. And just like that plan for ADV v1.2 began.
I took the rest of my belongings and put 'em into storage and snapped one last pic of the odometer. And like I had done six months earlier, I hit the ignite button and roared off.
My last ride was sobering. And sad. And depressing. Getting onto the freeway I gave her wide open throttle through the gears, one last rush, one last taste of freedom for both of us. She thought that perhaps we were going to San Diego again, or Mexico, or even downtown. Or maybe to a new cool photo shoot location.
I indulged her vanity, snapped a bunch of shots, then carefully worked my hand down her left side to disconnect power while HAL's "Daisy" echoed slower and slower in my mind. It was the hardest thing I'd done the entire trip. I knew we'd be eventually be reunited, but as I backed her in with the rest of my things I couldn't help feel that I was burying my playmate and mistress and no small part of myself.
Thank's Man, thank's a lot.....
Thanks to HFL/RideApart for picking this up.
I started reading this two days ago (between riding, of course) and just finished. My eyes burning from reading for too long.
Absolutely riveting to say the least. I've lurked on here for quite a while, and have read many interesting adventures, but I find this one to top them all. Your adventure and experiences were so well written.
Thanks so much for taking all of us along for the ride. Truly incredible!
I think there are a few dreams I need to hunt down and devour.
Been following since the beginning... "The biggest challenge of the trip was to walk out the door, get on the bike, and ride."
Jeezus, ain't that the F'n truth.
So many reasons not to get up, but at the same time, how many should really matter to me, or anyone? If/when I let go, this sentence will be the final shove out the door.
On a lighter note:
Original FJ(40/60/62/80) or a 'new' one? Either way, pics of the Yota!
I can only guess where you were headed (Dakar?! if the timing was right). Godspeed.
I'll have zero problem following an Antihero FJ ride report on ADV.
Putting that bike away could not be easy. Hec, your story promoted me to visit Pro Italia today just to go sit on a Panigale. While doing so I mentioned your name and story to my salesperson friend and we talked about your trip. An amazing feat given the bike's range and style, you could sell a lot of them.
Believe it or not, your story has made me want to buy one!
On stopping: I = MA (Squared)<squared> in both directions. One is negative.
On Tarantino: There's a Norm's restaurant around the corner. I'll buy... :)
No matter what happens in your life, don´t ever quit writing, ´cause you are so goddamn good at it!
Even if the next ride or journey is far far away - keep writing in here. This r.r has been my daily medicine, and it is hard to imagine life without that daily shot. Hell, you could write about flowers, and I would still check in now and then
Stay safe, and if your european journey takes you by Denmark, don´t hesitate to pm me - you are always welcome in my house.
I'd follow an Anti-Hero Toyota FJ Alaska Winter Trip. Just saying....
Sorry for the long quote - but damn man... I first read this post on Friday night, and have come back to it many times over this weekend. I think you absolutely nailed this. Without getting into my past, I feel many of the same emotions as you wrote about here, and, like you, I've never not felt at peace while on a bike.
It's funny, I have considerable anxiety sitting at my work desk, but holding open the throttle aboard a 80hp death machine calms me, and makes me content with life as it is at that moment. I've also found this while dirtbiking - time slows, and I can sense and feel the trees coming inches from my body at speed, but my heart rate is probably slower than it is currently as I'm typing this, and I don't feel as if I'm in any sort of danger.
You have an incredible gift. I think I speak for many of us when I say it would be a considerable waste of astounding talent if you don't persue professional writing. All the best, please ride safely. And thank you.
On a side note, I feel like shedding a tear now that this report is over. Talk about one fantastic read. Thank you so much for letting us share your journey. This report has been especially helpful to me as I have endured 3 shoulder surgeries in a year, 2 during your ride report. Once I recover, and I WILL recover, I am going to buy a Panigale and make my own ride report. It may not amount to yours, but I cannot wait to get back on a bike and ride. -Steve
Steve, On the contrary, for many of us, the trip (and ride reports) have just begun.
I've been reading this ride report since you started it AH, and now that were reaching it's conclusion I wanted to write and thank you for it. While I'm not going to pitch my current life for a vagabond exsistance on 2 wheels, I can tell you have inspired me to live my life more fully and enjoy the things that come my way.
You have a real talent for writing and I have really enjoyed every word you've put out here. I can only hope you continue to write and update us on your continuing journeys.
As for your photographs, as someone who has spent most of his life behind a camera lens I have to say you've delivered some impressive images. They have added greatly to the whole report, although I will say no matter how many times I see them, the "delicious food" shots just don't do much for me. I have downloaded about 20 of your roadside pictures and use them regularly as my wallpaper at work. It reminds me that there's life outside the 4 walls of an office.
Thanks again for bringing all of us along with you, and good luck with all you do with your life!
First of all, a buddy of mine sent me this RR, saying 'you and this guy have alot in common'. I started reading have communicated with Dennis a few times.
Cafe Racer, FWIW...you're not alone....."That was over five years ago".......
I built two houses by myself, the last one because my wife wanted acreage for her horses. Kitchen addition, big barn, 1000' of fencing/etc (you get the picture).....and I retired early, turning down a promotion/more $$$ because she wanted me 'out of that fucking job'! I couldn't really argue with her there. I've never been more content! and then.....a year after I retired, she wanted a change....the change being me leaving. Yeah, a divorce! That was five years ago.............
I crawled off, dragging my severed heart, soul, spirit and 'being' and tried to heal up. Can't say I wandered. More like a blind man in a large room trying to find a door and then realizing that there is no door! I have to climb out! Learned alot about ME during my climb out of th at room! Learned ALOT, but am fightin certain aspects of 'me'.
Cut to today.....in a much better place! I've taken numerous road trips, over the last 2+ years, and have a few planned for this year. A new bike is sitting in the garage (MultiStrada) and.......have a new woman that 'understands what moves me'! Ain't life interesting!
As Dennis said....I've never been on my bike without having totally clarity/calmness/peace! My mind is in neutral, but totally focused. Some buddy's of mine ride listening to music and want to know why I don't. Simple....when my helmet goes on, I'm totally alone in my own world and I don't want outside influences!
Cafe.....I'm bout 5 hrs north of you in Humboldt county. You ride this way.....
2007 FJ. Pop had an FJ40, spent lots of time in the back of that thing smacking my head against the rollbar.

Beyonce Delivers R-Rated Response To The Grammys (PHOTOS)
Since Grammy night, the awards show has been receiving backlash from viewers because Beyoncé's Lemonade didn't win Album Of The Year. Instead, Adele took home the honor for 25.
Always being the gracious woman that she is, Bey has never really responded negatively to awards shows -- or anyone -- doing her wrong. But, maybe her twins are giving her some extra strength because it looks like she just responded to the Grammys in one of the most savage ways we've ever seen her do.
On her website Beyonce.com, Bey posted a couple of photos of herself throwing her middle finger up and holding them hands high. One of the pics even has her mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson, doing the same. Peep the Grammy shade below. It's glorious.
**WARNING: Below images are NSFW**
Wave it in the Grammys' face, tell it boy bye! And we're guessing Bey's mood after this is...

While in India, I read an account of a woman who had leaped in front of a train with her baby in her arms. Pinned to her sari was a note declaring that life was too great a struggle; it simply wasn't worth the effort. Let us consider for a moment: Is suicide the ultimate sin? Our Bibles record the stories of a number of people who committed suicide.

OpenVPN server
One computer on a LAN can be designated as a VPN server to allow encrypted traffic to pass between remote clients and the computers on the LAN (through the VPN server portal). OpenVPN uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates when establishing an encrypted VPN tunnel between two nodes (the server and the client).
This hardware requirements of a dedicated VPN server depend on the number of simultaneous communication tunnels that are anticipated. A very modest computer can fulfill the needs of a VPN server if less than 10 VPN connections are anticipated. A VPN server with dozens of tunnels may benefit from greater RAM and CPU speed. Of course, the speed of the ethernet connection is the limiting factor, so robust networking cards are very important (Gigabit speeds are desirable, at least).
Using a bridge interface
An OpenVPN server often uses a bridge interface. One network connection (an ethernet card, for example) connects to the WAN (Internet) through which the VPN connection is made, and a second network connection (a second ethernet card, for example) connects to the LAN. The traffic between these two connections is "bridged." See Network Interface Bridging for more details.
OpenVPN Server Installation
- Install OpenVPN:
sudo apt-get install openvpn
Server certificates
- Create the OpenVPN server certificates.
- Copy the easy-rsa directory to /etc/openvpn. This will ensure that any changes to the scripts will not be lost when the package is updated.
sudo mkdir /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/ sudo cp -r /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/* /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa
- Edit /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/vars and adjust the variables for your environment:
- Note:Leaving some variables (such as KEY_EMAIL) with their default values may cause key generation to fail
sudo nano /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/vars
- Edit /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/vars and adjust the variables in the last section of the file for your environment:
- Note:Leaving some variables (such as KEY_EMAIL) with their default values may cause key generation to fail
sudo nano /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/vars
- Remove the following line before saving the file:
export KEY_CN=changeme
- Determine the version of OpenSSL installed
apt-cache policy openssl
- Copy over the proper .cnf file for the version of openssl you have installed (if your version is newer, try the 1.0.0 file)
sudo cp /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/openssl-1.0.0.cnf /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/openssl.cnf
- Run the scripts to create the server certificates:
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/ sudo su source vars ./clean-all ./build-dh ./pkitool --initca ./pkitool --server server cd keys openvpn --genkey --secret ta.key cp server.crt server.key ca.crt dh1024.pem ta.key /etc/openvpn/ exit
Client Certificates
- A VPN client requires a certificate in order to authenticate itself to the VPN server.
- Create the certificate:
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/ sudo su source vars ./pkitool hostname exit
- Note: Replace hostname with the actual hostname of the client machine that will be connecting to the VPN.
- Copy the certificate files that have been created to the client (Must be root to access keys directory):
- /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/ca.crt
- /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/hostname.crt
- /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/hostname.key
- /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/ta.key
- Note: Use the files that correspond to your client machine's hostname.
Server Configuration
- On the OpenVPN server, modify /etc/openvpn/server.conf from the example file:
sudo cp /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-config-files/server.conf.gz /etc/openvpn/ sudo gzip -d /etc/openvpn/server.conf.gz
- Edit etc/openvpn/server.conf:
sudo nano /etc/openvpn/server.conf
- Changing the following options to resemble:

Grading is at the crux of educational evaluation. It's a major factor in designating student success, and it's a vital skill that every educator needs to have firm hold of. Succinctly, grades represent the extent to which the learner has met the defined objectives. Teachers generally define these objectives at the beginning of the year, aided by benchmarks, such as statewide academic achievement standards. Grading is an emotionally laden procedure that implies more than the degree of compliance with the goals. Before beginning to teach a class, teachers should think of and choose the grading criteria; students appreciate a grading …

ARLINGTON, TX -- Steve Johnson has resigned as executive director of Bowling Proprietors' Association of America, effective immediately. BPAA made the announcement during its recently board of directors meeting at the International Bowling Campus in Arlington, TX, where the association is headquartered.
"We all thank Steve for his leadership, marketing acumen and dedicated years of service," said BPAA president Cathy DeSocio. "We greatly appreciate all that he has brought to BPAA, and we wish him the best in the future."
DeSocio said BPAA will soon begin a national search for a successor. In the meantime, the association's officers on its board, who include DeSocio, president-elect Tom Martino, secretary Alan Nordman and treasurer Nancy Schenk, will assume the executive director's responsibilities until a replacement is chosen.
"After my years of service and undergoing the challenge of leading and implementing a number of initiatives for the association, it is time for new leadership," Johnson said. "I'm proud of the progress and accomplishments we've made at the BPAA; and this is an appropriate time for me to pursue another opportunity outside of bowling, and for BPAA to select an individual to build on what we have all accomplished."
Founded in 1932, the BPAA represents about 4,000 bowling centers.

Opera at USC performs 'Figaro' March 26 and 28
Opera at USC will perform an old favorite, Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, in one of the newest buildings on campus for its spring production.
Ellen Schlaefer
Creating an intimate musical space from a large open room with one whole wall of glass in the new Band Hall/Dance Facility has created challenges for Ellen Douglas Schlaefer, the production's director and director of opera studies in the School of Music. The company is renting a platform for the stage and tiered platforms that will seat about 300 for the audience.
"It's an experiment," Schlaefer said. "We're trying to create theatre magic in a space designed for another purpose. The set is very minimal but very effective. The costumes are lovely. Together with conductor Neil Casey, vocal coach Lynn Kompass, scenic coordinator Teddy Moore, and lighting designer Aaron Pelzek, we are hoping to make the experience for the audience as lovely as Mozart's music deserves."
Without a permanent home, Opera at USC has performed off campus and in Drayton Hall and Longstreet Theater in the past.
"Be an opera follower and follow us for this one-time production in the Band Hall," Schlaefer said.
The Marriage of Figaro, or Le Nozze di Figaro, describes a day of madness in the palace of Count Almaviva near Seville, Spain.
Figaro and Susanna are engaged to be married. The Count, who is married to Countess Rosina, is pursing Susanna and finds excuses to delay her wedding to Figaro.
Figaro, Susanna, and Rosina discover the Count's plan and conspire to embarrass and expose his scheming. The Count responds by trying to legally compel Figaro to marry a woman old enough to be his mother, but it turns out at the last minute that she really is his mother. Through the clever manipulations of Figaro and Susanna, the Count's love for Rosina is finally restored.
Daniel Cole
"It's a great story and probably one of the most famous operas ever," Schlaefer said. "It's like an extended episode of a sitcom with very real people and really beautiful music."
Guest artist Daniel Cole, a Columbia soloist with a doctorate from Indiana University's opera program, will sing the role of Figaro. Cole has appeared in Lisbon, Cologne, Taiwan, Amsterdam, and New York and with regional opera companies in the United States.
Students will sing all of the other roles. The student performers are Mary-Therese Heintzkill, a master's candidate in vocal performance, as Susanna; Peter Barton, a DMA vocal performance candidate, as the Count; Serena Hill, a DMA vocal performance candidate, as the Countess; Kelsey Harrison, a sophomore vocal performance major, as Cherubino; Michael Thomas, a junior vocal performance major, as Bartolo; Zach Marshall, a DMA vocal performance candidate, as Basilio; Ginger Jones, a master's candidate in vocal performance, as Marcellina; Barry Sharrock, a master's candidate in opera theatre, as Don Curzio; Michelle Fegeas, a senior vocal performance and classics major, as Barbarina; and Xavier Martin-Moses, a senior music education major as Antonio.
Ensemble members are Katie Leitner, Kimberley Hoover, Sara Beth Shelton, Jan Malcher, Teresa Jewett, Ann Louise Glasser, John Callison, Joshua Day, Rebecca Wood, Jennifer C. Davis, Garrett Campbell, Greg Ammons, and Melissa Peters.
"It's been a challenge for our students because of the complexity of the musical dialogue, or recitative, sung in Italian," Schlaefer said, "but the cast is certainly up to it."
The production will feature costumes designed by Robina D'arcy-Fox and sets by Gary Eckhart, originally designed for the Green Mountain Opera Festival in Vermont. The opera will be presented in Italian with English supertitles.
Opera at USC will present The Marriage of Figaro in Room 108 of the new Band Hall/Dance Facility at 324 Sumter St. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. March 26 and 3 p.m. March 28.
Ticket prices are $18 for general admission; $15 for seniors, faculty, staff, and military; and $5 for students. For tickets, call 7-0058.

All Hoosiers have certain rights and responsibilities that correspond to the Indiana tax laws.
The Indiana Department of Revenue has developed a two-part system to make sure you get help when you need it. We provide walk-in Taxpayer Assistance Centers, as well as a full-service telephone staff.
The department has several District Offices throughout the state in addition to our main office in Indianapolis. Representatives at these sites will answer questions, assist you in filing your Indiana tax returns and provide any other general tax information you may need.
We have an automated information line where you can find out the status of your individual refund checks or hear answers to common tax questions. Please call (317) 233-4018 for more information.
State law provides taxpayer advocates who make sure your rights are protected. The Indiana Taxpayer Advocate's Office provides an avenue for the successful resolution of taxpayer problems that have not been resolved through normal channels. Hardships claims, offers-in-compromises and taxpayer complaints are also researched and resolved through the advocacy program. The advocate brings about resolution as a final resource for the taxpayer.
Through the use of media, educational and outreach programs, the Public Relations division helps to familiarize taxpayers with new legislative and administrative changes. The division also works on internal education for department employees so that they can help you efficiently and effectively.
The department provides notices (billings) when taxes are due.
You have the right to protest a liability, with a few exceptions. All protests must be in writing and received within the 60-day protest period. If you protest a liability, the department may conduct a hearing on that case. You are entitled to be represented at your hearing when your case is presented. A decision will be made within 60 days, unless you are notified that additional time is required.
For more information about the department's collection process, click here.
If a liability is not paid or protested within 60 days of the first notice, we will issue a "Demand Notice" for payment before issuing a tax warrant. A Demand Notice includes:
If we do not receive a response to the Demand Notice within 10 days, a warrant for the collection of tax will be issued. When a tax warrant is filed with your county clerk, it becomes a judgment (lien) against all your property within the county or counties.
When a warrant is filed with your county clerk, it becomes a judgment lien or levy against your property in that county and a public record. The sheriff is responsible for collecting on a judgment lien. The amount of a judgment lien equals the amount of tax due, penalties, interest, collection fees and the clerk's cost and damages. The sheriff may sell your property, garnish your wages or levy bank accounts, in order to collect the amount due.
The department may release a lien against property if the cost of selling it is greater than the tax liability or if the sale would not reduce the liability by either 10 percent or $1,000.
The department conducts an annual hearing by July 1 of each year. The purpose of the hearing is to provide you with an opportunity to recommend changes in statutes and departmental policies, processes and procedures. An announcement about the public hearing is in the individual income tax booklets, which may be accessed at www.in.gov/dor/3489.htm.
We also submit an annual report to the Governor each year. This report includes areas with continuing problems, statistics about our audit process, and recommendations for improving taxpayer compliance and departmental administration.
Your responsibilities as an Indiana taxpayer:

While liqueurs are still distilled spirit, they are not the same as flavored spirits. Many popular spirits – especially vodka – now come in a variety of flavors, but there are some notable differences between these and cordials. Liqueurs have added sugar to make them significantly sweeter and commonly have a lower alcohol content than the full spirits. Because of these attributes, cordials are an ideal mixer, contributing ingredients to cocktails without diluting them.
While stronger spirits such as whisky, gin, brandy and tequila serve as the base alcohols of your home bar, it's always good to branch out and add diversity. Think about your favorite flavors and drinks. Many cocktails and mixed drinks have multiple ingredients and liquor mixed with liqueurs for greater complexity and complementary flavors. Order a bottle of Disaronno to add amaretto sours and the toasted almond to your cocktail list. We also recommend a good bottle of Cointreau and Triple Sec to made Sidecars, Cosmos, margaritas and more. Hone your skills and learn how to make more sophisticated cocktails to impress even your most particular guests. You're lucky if you're tech-savvy, but we prefer people who are drink-savvy.
As with any of our spirits available online for purchase, we encourage you to enjoy cordials however you like. Drink them on their own, pour them over ice, or add them as a mixing agent. Put a splash of Kahlua in your coffee for a little extra warming, or pour a bit of Grand Marnier over vanilla ice cream for an adult take on the orange creamsicle. Treat yourself to some fun flavors to bring your signature twist to a classic cocktail. Whichever way you like to enjoy your cordials, find everything you need at Wine Chateau. We make it easy to get your hands on classic brands or help you branch out with new and exciting flavors. Browse our selection to show the adventurous side of your palate.

Somehow, someway the Seahawks improve to 7-1
But after a 14-9 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Monday night, even the Seahawks' All-Pro free safety had to admit that he was mentally exhausted and physically drained.
"This is the most physical game I've ever played," said Thomas, slumped in front of his cubicle in the Seahawks' locker room at the Edwards Jones Dome after leading the prolonged defensive effort with a team-high 10 solo tackles. "I'm mentally tired, I'm mentally drained and I'm physically drained.
"But I'd rather be that way with a win than a loss."
The victory extended the best start in franchise history, and at 7-1 the Seahawks remain a game up on the San Francisco 49ers (6-2) in the NFC West entering the second half of a season that includes a December 8 rematch with the 49ers in San Francisco as well as a December 2 game against the New Orleans Saints (6-1) at CenturyLink Field.

Now Foods CoEnzyme Q10 is an essential component of cells and is necessary for mitochondrial energy production. Years of research has shown that Now Foods CoEnzyme Q10 supports healthy cardiovascular and immune system functions in addition to its vital role in energy production. High Potency Cardiovascular Health Supports Healthy Heart Muscle with Lecithin & Vitamin CoEnzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) is a natural compound that is being used clinically to medically treat heart disease in Japan, Italy and China. CoQ-10 is also used as a natural health product in the USA, Canada and some other countries. In the human body, CoQ-10 is found concentrated in the heart and liver tissue, where it functions in the respiratory electron transport system in mitochondria. Consequently, its toxicity to the human body is extremely low. It has ten isoprene units forming a side chain attached to benzoquinone ring and all the ten double bonds in the side chain should be ''trans'' form to be physiologically effective in medicinal applications.Two manufacturing processes are currently being used in Japan to commercially produce CoQ-10: 1. Chemical synthesis process 2. Microbial fermentation process In the case of chemical synthesis, relatively higher rates of ''cis''-isomers in the side chain (pharmacologically less active form) and Coenzyme Q-9 which has only 9 isoprene units in the side chain are formed as byproducts which must be eliminated from the final product through a purification process. On the other hand, the natural fermentation process yields the ''all-trans'' form Q-10 (pharmacologically active form), resulting in scarcely a trace of Coenzyme Q-9.From 1969 to 1978, our Japanese vendor had expanded its efforts in the research and development of Single Cell Proteins (microbial protein). They have established a unique continuous fermentation process utilizing these single microbial cells, which does not allow contamination by undesirable organisms.Based on this technology, they have developed their own proprietary process for the production of CoQ-10. The process uses a selected kind of Non-Genetically Modified Microorganism that is cultivated in a continuous fermentor. The fermentation broth is extracted, then further purified by a column chromatographic process to yield pure CoQ-10.The whole process is controlled under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and the product is closely monitored according to the ''Standards for Ingredients of Drugs in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia.''In addition to purchasing what NOW we believes is the purest CoEnzymeQ-10 powder manufactured in Japan NOW analyzes the incoming bulk material and each of our finished products. NOW's laboratory staff utilizes a sophisticated HPLC method to assure proper potency of CoQ-10 in the 10, 30, 50, 60, 100, 150, 200 and 400-milligram dose products NOW Foods sells. NOW works hard at making Quality affordable for you!NOW's MissionThe NOW mission is - To provide value in products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives. NOW Foods is an award-winning and highly respected manufacturer of vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements and natural foods.In 1948, with the natural food and supplement industry in its infancy, entrepreneur Paul Richard paid $900 for the purchase of Fearn Soya Foods—a Chicago based manufacturer of grain and legume-based products. This began a six-decade legacy of providing health-seeking consumers with high-quality, aff:" ":heir life's work to offer health food and nutritional supplements of the highest quality, at prices that are fair and affordable to all those who seek them. Today, NOW Foods is one of the top-selling brands in health foods stores, an award-winning manufacturer, a respected advocate of the natural product industry, and a leader in the fields of nutritional science and methods development. And while NOW has grown considerably over the past four decades, one thing has never changed – NOW's commitment to providing products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives.NOW Commitments Customer Focused and Information Driven - NOW believes that their products, services, and the decisions they make should be primarily influenced by the desires and needs of NOW customers.

'Considering gross ticket revenue from Tuesday night's game against the Edmonton Road Runners at HSBC Arena approached $200,000, the Amerks will give strong consideration to bringing their product to the backyard of their parent team, the Buffalo Sabres, again if the NHL season is canceled by the owners' lockout. "It would take us four Fridays or eight to 10 Wednesday or Sunday games (in Rochester) to equal what we generated (Tuesday night) in revenue," Donner said. "This was an unbelievable shot in the arm for the organization."'

i think it's nice how we let the females fight and let them have a go. It shows we are letting them get involved and not leaving them out. It's like when you let a kid play on your playstation and set the game on easy for him.
But what do you think about female fighters also being ring girls (if they look good enough that is). This would get them involved more in the sport and boost their wage packet. Also if they don't make it as a fighter they could become a top ring girl. I know some of you are thinking the types of women who fight aren't the types of women who could be ring girls. But if you think that you are obviously a small minded sexist. For example I think Rosi Sexton could be a fighter and a ring girl.

LONG BEACH - Animal rescuers worked to free a dolphin trapped inside a man-made enclosure in the Long Beach Harbor on Tuesday afternoon.
However, by 7:30 p.m. the dolphin was still trapped and rescuers called off the effort until the next morning, hoping the animal would free itself, Port of Long Beach spokesman Art Wong said.
Marine Animal Rescue specialist Peter Wallerstein said the young dolphin was surrounded by metal sheeting that was to be used as a foundation for a wharf.
The dolphin swam in during high tide and became entrapped in the area when the tide fell.
Wallerstein said that underwater divers were cutting holes into the metal sheeting Tuesday afternoon to provide exits for the dolphin. Rescuers hoped the animal would swim out when the next high tide rolled in late Tuesday night.
Wallerstein said if the dolphin doesn't swim out on its own overnight, they will try to guide the animal out of the enclosure through one of the openings in the morning.

Castro house still a tourist attraction
(Cleveland) - Gawkers and rubberneckers continue to drive by Ariel Castro's house on Seymour Avenue to look and take pictures.
Neighbors say the traffic has died down a bit, but it remains steady.
A neighbor named Louis told WTAM 1100 he's glad it's quieter in the neighborhood where police say Castro held three women captive for about ten years. But people still come to see where the house is and wonder how the women were kept in bondage for so long.
Daniel lives across the street from Castro's house and is getting tired of the traffic. He tells WTAM 1100 he's not sure if it has decreased. He says people arrive and take pictures of the house at all hours of the day and night.
Police often have to ask onlookers to leave. Daniel is getting tired of it.
But Louis and Daniel admit that they thought Ariel Castro was a good man, and had no idea that he was up to anything.
Despite the inconveniences, the men are both glad Castro is behind bars.

Hey everyone... I was a reg on the old forums a few years back... New nic. But Hello all! ....
Ok, so I had to put bt down for a while and focus on life, but I just picked up a smoking ASUS (ROG) G60VS on CL for $600!! :-) ..... Until then I was running bt(4f) on my eee pc (1005HA) :-( lol
Ok so Here's today's problem:
Fresh install / apt-get update / apt-get upgrade ... and then I get an error about the kernel:
root@bt:~# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image: Depends: linux-image-2.6.34 but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
So far I reinstalled twice tonight, I was getting ready to start a 3rd, but it seems as though thats not helping. I may have used bt here and there and the past, but I've never really had a machine that could take full advantage of it until now (or at least I hope lol), and I'm light years away from being a nix guru, but I can surely use some guidance at this point. ThnxNadv
-Also, I tried "apt-get dist-upgrade" .... seems like same problem.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
I have tried apt-get -f install
It did not fix the problem...
i've been taking a break from backtrack and came back to see my fellow pentesters struggling with a simple kernel upgrade but never fear the ultimate spoon feeder is here
#dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.34_2.6.34-10.00.Custom-bt7_i386.deb
#apt-get -f install

That seemed to work, thanks
It threw an error about a dependency backtrack-dragon
apt-get install backtrack-dragon
then i re-ran your string and worked fine.
Hey everyone, sorry this is the 1st chance I had to check back on the post... Thanks for all the advice/help, but it seems as though someone fixed the problem on the server end, all is well now, and now up and running on the new R1 :-)

Mad Bull Gemtech HALO Mock Suppressor (Black)
19 Customer Reviews
by Shawn H. on 07/31/2013
"I took a chance and bought this for my CYMA M14 EBR. Fit a little too loose at first, but bit one little piece of electrical tape around the muzzle groove and it fit great. Looks awesome, and performs very well. Not a bunch of open space like a lot of suppressors out there.
by Mark T. on 04/11/2013
"Great Suppressor. Fits my VFC/Umarex HK416 CQB just fine, although you have to wiggle it onto the flash Hider. Also fits other rifles with M16/M4 type flash hiders without a hitch. Overall, a great mock suppressor and I would especially recommend it to anyone who owns an HK416 CQB.
by Andrew E. on 03/09/2010
"This suppressor looks great on my G36. This product is great as it fits over almost any standard flash hider. This is especially good if the flash hider was WAYYY over-glued to the threads. Overall, its a great product! :)
by John S. on 11/30/2009
"recently purchased this for my Tokyo marui S-System which the silencer fits onto fabulosly it enhances the look of the gun and i highly recommend this silencer to anyone looking for one its build solidly has full trademarks and looks exactly like silencers currently in use by the us military SOCOM but as their fully trade marked and licensed by the company that produces the real one thats to be expected.

"First off, yes it does go over your tip. I like this a lot. It balances out the weight of my gun due to the heavy crane stock.
Nice Weight
Great MilSim Appearance
A little inaccurate
Could be a little too heavy for a smaller dude

by Nicholas B. on 01/05/2009
"This Supressor is great quality. looks very sinister on an M16. if your looking to use it on a sniper rifle be warned it does increase the sound a bit.
by Paige c. on 11/28/2008

by andy m. on 11/20/2008
"does a supressor just go over the orange tip of your gun or is there more to it?
by Robin W. on 09/18/2008
"yes it will fit your m16 spr. it will fit almost all guns with a 14mm anti clockwise thread
by Maria A. on 09/12/2008
"Can anybody tell me if this silencer will fit on the M16 SPR?
by Justin C. on 02/04/2009
"This Mock Suppressor is about 7inchs long and fits over the top of a standard birdcage flash-hinder. AKA- the kind that come on almost all stock Airsoftguns. For those who are getting this for an extended inner barrel, this part will increase the outer barrel length to the next model up- meaning that if you have an M4 the outer barrel length will now roughly equal that of a 20in M16 instead of the 16in outer barrel on your M4, same goes for Commando length M4 ect. this suppressor is unique in the fact that the flash suppressor does not need to come off for it to be attached. just look at the pictures, and product description people.
by jared w. on 09/26/2008
"hey rob will it fit my G36C???????????????????????????????????????????
by Matt M. on 07/28/2008
"If you want your gun to be quieter I suggest the silenced piston head and cylinder head. If u want looks go with this it looks nice on m4s.
by William L. on 07/10/2008
"i dont know about the size of the suppressor but all i can say is that the mock suppressor makes the gun slightly quieter...real airsoft suppressor makes airsoft guns barely audible but are now illegal in the US...look for foreign suppressor makers if you are looking to silence your gun and not just for looks...but hearing from my friend, which he put on his M4, the suppressor looks good but doesnt silence the gun much

They're thinking pink over at the Faison homestead as CaCee Cobb and her husband Donald Faison are expecting a newborn daughter.
The "Scrubs" stud and his lovely lady are thrilled to be pregnant with a girl who will serve as a little sister to their 14-month-old son Rocco.
Last year, he asked fans to back his new film via Kickstarter and last night (July 14) Zach Braff unveiled "Wish I Was Here" at a special New York City screening.
With less than a month to go until the July 18th theatrical date, Zach Braff unveiled his latest film "Wish I Was Here" at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles on Monday night (June 23).
It's one of the most-buzzed-about films of the season and last night (May 28) Disney's "Maleficent" finally hit the silver screen at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.
The always-gorgeous Elle Fanning got all gussied up for the big shindig, posing for photos and signing autographs for her fans as she made her way into the event.
Stepping out for a triple date night, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson met up with their close friends for a couple's Halloween dinner on Thursday (October 31).
She's settling into motherhood for the first time, and CaCee Cobb just posted a photo of her newborn son Rocco to her Twitter account.
The new mom shared the snap, taken on Rocco's birthday (August 15), and proud papa Donald Faison is noticeably exhausted in the background.
Weeks after welcoming their first child together, CaCee Cobb and Donald Faison have named their bundle of joy Rocco, according to reports from US Weekly.
The couple have kept mum on the name since Cobb gave birth on August 15, when the proud papa tweeted "Yesterday @caceecobb and I welcomed the most amazing little boy into our lives! Oh Happy Day!!"
Ahead of their feature in the summer issue of Martha Stewart Weddings, Donald Faison and CaCee Cobb shared a video from their star-studded ceremony in December.
The fun-loving couple's personalities really shined as they goofed around in photoshoots, put on costumes, and got down on the dance floor.

Merged into Linuxport.
VDPAU is a hardware video decoding library, provided by NVIDIA. Currently it only functions on their 8xxx and later GPUs.
Current state-of-play:
h264 decoding
mpeg1/2 decoding
VC1 decoding
Hardware deinterlacing
VDPAU post-processing
Make sure you have the latest NVIDIA driver. This link will point you in the direction of the current version.
VDPAU decoding is now in both the binary 9.04 release, and in the mainline SVN tree. To activate it simply install XBMC via your usual method, launch it, choose 'Settings->Video->Players' and change the Render Method to VDPAU.
XBMC-VDPAU is not currently capable of displaying overlay surfaces, so SSA/ASS subtitles will not be visable... if you miss these you'll have to change the Render Method back to Auto for the moment. Additionally standard definition mpeg2 content (ie DVD's) is currently handled in software for a related reason. This is obviously subject to change - PATCHES WELCOME!!!

Ordering ASAP a sufficient video card
Are there any xbmc-specific minimum requirements to this card except VDPAU compatibility? Or will the cheapest VDPAU card do the trick?

Very interesting, I was wondering when someone would start this (sooner than I expected). Quick question, though. When you say decoding not enabled, does that mean this version cannot decode - that is to say, play - mpeg12/WMV, or merely that they are not decoded using VDPAU (so using the cpu, instead)?
Again, thanks for the start on this!

This branch will currently (15-FEB-09) only play h264 files. Obviously thats high on the priority list.
EDIT: 16-FEB-09 -- Should now play most files that XBMC would play before

Very nice! I just tried it with my GeForce 9500 GT/AMD 5600+ X2 and it seems to be a vary good start!
Using the cloverfield sample, i think it dropped only 1 frame, with both CPU's sitting at about 16%. On Atlantis, the CPU's go up to about 80%, dropping frames the whole way.
I also tried a BD Rip of National Treasure 2, which caused more problems than the cloverfield one, but a very significant and noticable improvement over the Atlantis build. With VDPAU, it used the same 16% on both CPUs, and on Atlantis, one CPU was pegged at 100%, and the other at about 60% (strange?).
Finally, 2Mbps/H.264 high profile DVD rip of X-Men 3 produced flawless results, at the same 16% CPU, while Atlantis gave flawless results with about 40-50% CPU.
There were some audio syncing issues in all but the X3 video, but that is an already known issue, so i didn't pay much attention to it. I did not notice any colorspace issues, but again, wasn't really looking for them.
In all, I am very impressed! I realize this is pretty new stuff, but I thought I would congratulate the authors and thank them for their awesome work, and share my findings.

Just tried the new branch on my 2.93Ghz C2D with a 9500GT. It plays the killa sample absolutely flawlessly with roughly 25% total CPU usage; 15% CPU0, 10% CPU1. It also seamlessly fails back to software on formats unsupported by VDPAU. I didn't get a single crash and everything played, although compilation had a ton of warnings and whatnot. I'd even consider using this branch as my primary at this point, if we weren't directly cautioned not to do so. Great work!!

Thanks for this Motd2k !
This is one of the best things EVER happened to me.
I tried all x264 mkv and mp4 files i have and NONE of them had problems playing even the ones play fine which were not be possible to accelerate with windows dxva.
I have 6% of cpu utilization playing back the killasample
Subtitles work, zoom works ! Now we will have a lot of free CPU time having for possible software upscaling or HD audio decoding etc.
This implementation will be far better than any hardware accelerated stuff on any platform i saw.
I will donate right away to the team.
Keep up the excellent work.
Thank you once again.

VDPAU is hardware agnostic, but I doubt we will see ATI or Intel backends. They both plan their own HW accel APIs.

Astronaut Chris Hadfield takes to SoundCloud to share ambient space-noise
Chris Hadfield's time aboard the International Space Station saw him use Twitter to communicate with Earth-dwellers more regularly than any astronaut before him (and before coming home, he even recorded a cover version of David Bowie's Space Oddity), making him something of a social media hero. Despite no longer being in space, Hadfield's at it again, this time taking to SoundCloud to share the ambient sounds of the ISS. Essential listening if you've ever wondered what living on an orbital platform might be like. [Source: Wired UK]
Skoda builds a pram with a difference
Want your kid to ride a little bit higher than the average baby? Want to be able to effortlessly trundle through the worst terrain your local park can throw at you? You may be interested in Skoda's vRS Mega-Man pram, a two-metre tall behemoth with 20in rims, wing mirrors, hydraulic suspension and headlamp. We're sorry to say it won't be on sale any time soon (or ever, to be honest) but if it were, Skoda reckons it'll set you back US$13,000 (around £8,500). The manufacturer will, however, be giving the prototype away to a competition winner in the near future. [Source: Luxury Launches]
Watch this home-made fixed-gear road bike hit 100mph
A bit of British engineering to make you proud here. Bike builder Tom Donhou recently created a fixed-gear road bike capable of topping 100mph. He's already hit 80mph while slipstreaming his modified Ford Zephyr on a Second World War airstrip, and reached 102mph while testing it on rollers in his workshop. A plan to replicate that on the road is in the works. Watch the bike being built and ridden in this Vimeo clip. [Source: Devour]
