I can only echo what so many others have already said about the Scottoiler FS365 corrosion protector -- it is a great product.
I should have tried it a long time ago.
Get some, use it year-round, appreciate it. It will serve you and your two-wheelers well.
I have to mea culpa on this one.
A bright yellow one litre spray dispenser of the Scottoiler FS365 Corrosion Protector was sent along with the Scottoiler SMK7-BMW Kit that got installed on my '09 BMW F800GS (review) in November 2008.
While the kit got used in short order, the FS365 was however put on the shelf for a month or so.
So trying the product became one of my New Year resolutions.
Accordingly, the container got taken off the shelf, the seal broken and I carefully sprayed it on some of the front end components (less the brakes and rotors) and back wheel areas on the F800GS pair for preservation purposes.
As well, before heading down south last March, I put a fresh coat on my F800 to see how it would work in keeping bits 'n' pieces better protected when exposed to the usual mix of wet roads, salt and rain typically encountered as we head south.
I have not (yet) secured an enclosed trailer, so the motorcycles, up to three, are hauled around on our first-class Worthington WOM-D double aluminum trailer. The V-nose rock guards help greatly, but when the weather turns nasty, as it did last March (remember the upper New York winter storms?) the machines get dirty. Accordingly, anything that can help is good.
Since then I have continued to use the Scottoiler FS365 on virtually all exposed parts of all the motorcycles in the fleet, whether in storage mode or like the F800s, at the ready in the garage. If warm days arrive, exercise runs can be conducted.
Simply put, Scottoiler FS365 is a corrosion inhibitor. Being water-based, the fine misting spray carries the protectant into virtually every nook and cranny aimed for. When the H20 evaporates, it leaves behind a very thin mineral oil layer that covers or encapsulates the components.
Special additives include surfactants that help it flow, corrosion inhibitors, anti-foaming agents and anti-bacterial agents.
Scottoiler claims that the spray can be used on all materials, partly due to the fact that it is largely water-based, so it is user friendly and environmentally friendly to boot. The product can be sprayed on plastics (lenses and windscreens are notable exemptions though), metal components including engine parts, hoses, carbon fibre and anodized surfaces.
Clear warnings about avoiding spraying FS365 on brake discs are provided, but if this does happen, most of the spray can be wiped off immediately and any residue should burn off quickly with use. Like fresh tires, don't forget to consider this issue prior to setting off for a ride though.
And speaking of tires, getting FS365 on tires is not a big issue either; simply wash/rinse them off, which will get rid of the spray.
Scottoiler says that the product should be applied after washing the motorcycle or after returning from a wet run -- such as the winter rides we take, when safe to do so. Even though the machines always get a full wash or quick cold water spray afterwards, spraying the bikes with FS365 is just the ticket to neutralize the salt dust and spray remaining in the nooks and crannies.
As I trust Scottoiler products, the recommendations provided in how to apply and re-apply the FS365 make good sense. So far, the results have been really worthwhile. As I have found out over the years in using other lubricants and cleaners, they can really make a difference when it comes to cleaning as well as protecting.
To this end, the FS365 does a great job in forming a protective layer and in some cases the FS365 can become insoluble (not easily dissolved) requiring some 'agitation' or energetic brushing to remove the build-up. In reality, this formation is actually protecting the surfaces; the crud sticks to the FS365 rather than component surfaces.
I was a bit skeptical about using the spray on plastic, especially the very hard moldings on the F800s, which seem to survive almost anything unaided anyway. However, a test application on a small hidden area didn't reveal any negative effects, so I use it as a coating on almost any surface now without worry.
How confident am I? Even the HP2 Sport gets TLC with this product as well.
Like WD-40 or similar products, FS365 can be polished to a smooth sheen. But I still wouldn't use it on screens or lenses -- it can be a bit greasy to the touch depending on the surface and it could impact clarity, points clearly identified by Scottoiler on the product label and in most published material as well.
Even with some cautious application initially, the difference the FS365 made was very evident. Washing the road grime off the machines in warmer climates revealed very little salt residue and no corrosion on any of the parts sprayed. This I can handle.
So, needless to say, applying a light coating of the product on the machines has become part of the winter and trailering routine. So much so, that I need to buy more.
Using FS365 has turned me into a believer. It has lots of pros and I haven't found any cons yet, other than the diminishing level in the container. It is extremely easy to use without getting messy. Remember however, the use of gloves is recommended for any maintenance activity especially when chemicals are used.
It comes standard in the familiar Scottoiler yellow colored one litre spray bottle. A five litre refill is available as well...which is what I will be buying next.

Thank you so much to Washington DC Association of Realtors (WDCAR), Prince George Association of Realtors (PGCAR), Southern Maryland Association of Realtors (SMAR), and Howard County Assocation of Realtors (HCAR) for being so welcoming to us!

Some folks from the support center will also be rotating through as well. Analysts include Brian Frankl and Hamza Fellah, and representatives include Jason Weiss, Larissa Hyland, and Verlisha Suggs.
It was so good to meet the Association people that are really there on a day-to-day basis and remind them that MRIS is here to help. We knew that everyone would welcome us with our balloons and gift baskets, but it meant a lot to us to have a real conversations with the staff.
"After being at the Support Center for a couple years, it was a great experience to finally meet some of our customers face to face," said Jason from Support Center.
With a few associations down, we are getting in a good routine. Cassie drives and tweets (not at the same time), Carmen inflates balloons and I try to upload pictures onto Facebook while in the back of our van – it is more challenging than you think! We are looking cool and casual with our black, v-neck shirts with our roadshow logo and jeans.

JERUSALEM — Scores of Palestinian detainees in Israel have suspended their mass hunger strike after more than two months without food, Israeli and Palestinian officials said Wednesday, removing one source of friction in a volatile period following the recent kidnapping of three Israeli youths in the West Bank and a subsequent Israeli military crackdown.
All 75 detainees who remained on the hunger strike as of Tuesday, and who are hospitalized, agreed to suspend their protest against Israel's practice of administrative detention, in which suspects are held without charge or trial, without securing any change in that policy, according to representatives of both sides.
Instead, representatives said, detainees received commitments that they won't be punished or fined for strike participation, and that a dialogue on broader issues tied to administrative detention will continue among prisoner committee representatives, Israeli prison authorities and security officials.
The Palestinian Authority minister for prisoner affairs, Shawqi Al-Aissa, and the nongovernmental Palestinian Prisoners Society announced the end of the hunger strike at a news conference in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Israel Prison Service spokeswoman Sivan Weizman said the 75 would remain under supervision in the hospital, where they had been taking water and nonfood supplements, until they were fit enough to go back to prison.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised his internal security minister and prison authorities for their "determined" effort to end the strike. He added that Israel was introducing additional methods to deter future prisoner strikes -- a reference to contentious draft legislation that would allow the courts to authorize force-feeding of hunger strikers in cases where their lives were deemed to be in danger. The Israeli parliament is expected to vote on the bill next week.
But Palestinian Prisoners Society president Qadura Fares said in a phone interview from Ramallah that the strike had ended through dialogue, and that "neither side broke."
Israel had feared that the death of a hunger striker would set off widespread unrest in the prisons and beyond.
On the Palestinian side, Mr. Fares said, motivation for the strike had waned, despite widespread sympathy among the Palestinian population, because it was largely overtaken by events on the ground. The strike, he said, had dropped from the headlines in the aftermath of the Israeli teenagers' kidnapping. Mr. Fares added that the approach of Muslim holy month of Ramadan, due to start this weekend, also contributed to the decision to end the strike.
At the hunger strike's late May peak, more than 300 administrative detainees and convicted prisoners were participating.
The strike's suspension came as Israel began scaling back its West Bank military operation, an intensive campaign that Palestinians and human rights groups have denounced as collective punishment. Israel had set itself two goals: to find the missing youths and to weaken the West Bank infrastructure of Hamas, the Islamic militant group that Israel blames for the abduction. While the first has not been met yet, the second appears in large part to have exhausted itself.
Since the June 12 kidnapping, 371 Palestinians have been arrested, 282 of them suspected Hamas operatives, according to the Israeli military. Among those detained are 57 former prisoners freed in 2011 as part of an exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, held captive by Hamas in Gaza for five years.
The military has searched nearly 2,000 locations and has acted against 64 institutions suspected of supporting Hamas, seizing equipment and funds. Movement around Hebron, where Israel has centered its search for the abducted teens, was restricted for about a week.
The toll of Palestinians killed by Israeli fire during the campaign rose to five Wednesday. A Palestinian man died at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, according to a hospital spokeswoman, six days after being shot in the head by Israeli troops during a clash in the Qalandiya refugee camp near Ramallah. The man, identified by Palestinian health officials as Mustafa Aslan, 22, was brought to Hadassah hospital hours after he was shot early Friday morning, and had been in critical condition since.
It was questionable how long Israel could maintain the pressure on the Palestinian population given the mounting tensions and the approach of Ramadan. Palestinian resistance to the Israeli forces has been on the rise, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has come under growing domestic pressure because of his unpopular pledge to help find the abducted Israelis. Israel has come under increasing international scrutiny, and rocket fire from Gaza against southern Israel has risen, along with retaliatory Israeli airstrikes.
Israeli officials have pledged to continue the intensive search for the teenagers -- Eyal Yifrach, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Fraenkel, 16, who also holds U.S. citizenship. But the restrictions on movement in the Hebron area have eased in recent days, and there has been a significant drop in the number of arrests.
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said Tuesday that the easing was not the result of a political decision, but that the military operation against Hamas' infrastructure and support system had largely run its course.

How important is the Asia Pacific market for the company?
It is easy to see that APAC holds great potential as a huge market with broad untapped areas. So we have great opportunities to bring our exceptional technologies to more people. We are a technology leader, a solutions leader and a thought leader in this field. As a multinational company, we face competition from both foreign and local companies; yet our combination of international gold standard technologies and local products for local needs give us an edge that neither can match.
QIAGEN started expanding in APAC region from 2005, since when the company executed on two milestone strategies. One is expanding to the molecular diagnostics business from our traditional sample and assay areas, primarily serving the research segment, and moving to the clinical segment. The other milestone decision that the company took was to expand to emerging markets, where APAC was a prior target. This is how we get started. First we set up the regional office in Shanghai, and then we looked at what should be our strategies to fast expand into the dynamic market here.
With these strategies, we expanded our own presence as well as through acquisitions in both research and clinical segments. Through the acquisitions and the regional expansion, we have had faster market penetration, having the access to channels of the acquired companies and also the customers.
What percentage of your revenue comes from the Asia Pacific?
In the fiscal year of 2011, Asia Pacific (Japan excluded) contributed 12 percent of QIAGEN's net sales throughout the world. Since 2005, basically APAC region, in particular China, has built from the ground and has become the fastest growing region for QIAGEN as a whole. In APAC, China has been the fastest growing market. Since 2005, the revenue of China has grown by more than 30 times and China has become QIAGEN's third largest country in the world after the US and Germany.
What are the other segments that QIAGEN is hopeful about, apart from diagnostics?
Now we have a deep MDx pipeline across all indication areas, personalized healthcare, virology and microbiology. Besides that, in June 2012 QIAGEN announced initiative to create next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflow with a benchtop sequencer, a full range of sample and assay kits and bioinformatics tools that can be expected in 2013 for research use. We've already launched a series of consumable products to improve NGS workflows in research. QIAGEN is also continuously expanding menu-of-pathway and biomarker products for life sciences, and applied testing content in food, forensics and veterinary.

Guest Post: Kerrie Lovely
Farewell Fairytale
(Young love dies hard)
Clouds are swirling around in my head, I can't focus with them in my way. I'm gazing out the window. My forehead leans against the cool, hard glass, I breathe a little deeper and fog up the window. There's a dove gray spot and I write his name on it. My finger traces the letters, flowing in cursive. More deep breaths are taken. I was told when I was just a little girl that extra breathing would help me to calm down. "Will I ever see him there again, at the place towards the end of the road?" Similar depressing thoughts stomp around in my head, maybe it's not the thoughts that are causing the ache. No, it must be the tears flowing, forming canyons down my cheeks. Crying always gives me horrible headaches. If I just keep dreaming, longing, he'll come back to me.
Whenever I grow up too much, too quickly we part away. Whenever I lose myself in dreaming we come back together. Because love like ours exists only in a dream world. It never lasts in the day to day. The song I was listening to is over, another one comes on and the shift brings me back. I'm back sitting on my bed, staring out the window, I promise to not think about how much I miss the springtime anymore, and all the days we spent together.
every day's the same, I feel like I'm losing my mind
all I do is think about you all of the time
I don't even know why i care as much as i do
I just wish that you would tell me, "is this real or are we through?"
everything I said to you last night might have been crazy
but I want you to know that I meant it, I meant it, I meant it, oh, baby!
I wish we could go back to when i was seventeen
and I wouldn't, wouldn't, wouldn't, wouldn't, wouldn't have been so mean
every day I wake up and I thank the stars above
for sending me a man who I could really love
if only I could convince you to feel the same way
we could be so very happy each and every day...
--"Each and Everyday" by Best Coast
How apt. I lay down on our bed. I cover my face with a pillow, but it isn't very comforting, a feather protrudes through the case and scratches my face. There is no rest for the weary. I know how he feels, it's why I don't call. Why would I want to make it any harder for him? No, I'll bear the pain alone. "Come back to me, love." I'm still fond of you.

Wacky races on the Hauraki Gulf
Wednesday October 23rd 2002, Author: James Boyd, Location: Australasia
Having had the plug pulled on the matches in the morning the four teams on Juliet course had to wait out on the Gulf until 1600 before the wind reestablished and another attempt made to stage them. But it was well worth the wait.
Again the start between GBR Challenge and Stars & Stripes was relatively even, both boats attacking the line at speed, but this time it was Beadsworth who got the upper handed sending Wight Lightning forging out towards the left hand side of the course. But showing marginally better speed upwind the Americans got the better of the Brits and led them around the top mark by 1:06 minutes.
And so ensued one of the most nerve racking matches of the challenger series to date...
Once again Wight Lightning showed pace downwind, sailing deeper angles under their monster masthead spinnaker. In this configuration they caught up with Stars & Stripes and as they approached the leeward mark simply outpaced them to round 17 seconds ahead.
On the next beat Stars & Stripes again showed their speed and played catch up as the boats headed for the right hand side of the course. As they engaged, Stars & Stripes put in a dummy tack to which GBR70 responded and the two boats went through a severe tacking duel. Stars & Stripes, the America's Cup veterans, showed superior boat handling in this, but the GBR Challenge still broke away from this waterborne dogfight without having lost much ground and rounded the weather mark 34 seconds ahead.
Coming down the second run Stars & Stripes were again on the attack. Adrian Stead said afterwards that because of the closeness of the rounding at the top mark, they had had to respond more to Stars & Stripes advances. Because of this they had not been able to show the blistering downwind pace they had on the previous lap. Coming into the leeward mark it looked as though the Americans had caught them until Stars & Stripes lost a desperate port-starboard encounter that caused them to be red-flagging forcing them to carry out an immediate penalty turn.
Despite this advantage GBR Challenge appeared to lose the lead again up the third beat, yet managed to regain it to round the top mark for the third time ahead by a 37 second margin and were able to hold on to lead finishing first by 0:46 seconds.
This tremendous result at the end of a nailbiter of a race - if America's Cup racing could be described as such - bumps Peter Harrison's team up to third equal on five points alongside the 'big boys' Prada and Oracle.
Needless to say, at the end of a long day and with the sun setting over Auckland, there were no such surprises in the Alinghi versus Le Defi 'match'.

During the two weeks from September 24 to October 8, the Alameda Police Department issued 420 traffic violations — 232 were for speeding. Some of the most egregious offenses were for speeding at 50mph and 51mph in a 25mph zone as well as 54mph in a 30mph zone.
"The results of the two week increased enforcement confirmed what we already suspected, which is that many people are simply driving too fast," said Police Chief Paul Rolleri.
Violations | 9/24 – 10/08/2013 |
Speeding | 232 |
Insurance | 54 |
Using a cell phone | 49 |
Stop Lamp Requirements | 32 |
Disobey Posted Sign | 30 |
Stop Sign | 23 |
Total | 420 |
"People do need to slow down for the overall traffic safety of our town," said Mayor Marie Gilmore. "It's simply not worth it."
There are many main thoroughfares commonly used to enter and exit Alameda. This is also where most violations occur because people are in a rush to get to their destination. The three top locations where speeding citations were issued were: Otis Drive (56), Fernside Boulevard (52), and Constitution Way (28).
Bottom line, Alameda cares about traffic safety and the people within our community. This is not about the revenue; on average, the City only gets 12% to 16% of the total fine. For example, the bail for a speed violation for 1-15mph over the speed limit is $238.00. The City receives $28.70 while the rest will go to the County and State.
Chief Rolleri also reminds us that, "Traffic safety is a shared responsibility. This includes drinking responsibly and using designated drivers or alternative ride options. Please do your part to make Alameda a safer city; especially during the upcoming holidays."

I have no complaints about the functionality and couldn't be happier with the looks. This phone works beautifully with my H680 bluetooth headset, the pairing was flawless and easy. The picture quality on the camera is not amazing, but for the price, that's a small thing.

The debate over anonymous sources has been raging in journalism probably as long as there has been journalism.
Except for a handful of purists, most people in the field agree that there are instances when they are extremely valuable. Many powerful investigative pieces that have been beneficial to society would never have come to light without those ghostly creatures.
There's also a general consensus that they should be used carefully, that every effort should be made to get material on the record, that blind cheap shots have no business seeing the light of day.
But in the day-to-day sausage making, there are way too many instances when confidential sources are relied on when they shouldn't be.
Which brings us to New York Times Public Editor Margaret Sullivan and her newly launched AnonyWatch, which showcases instances when the Times relies on unnamed sources and Sullivan thinks it shouldn't.
As public editor, Sullivan can critique the paper but doesn't have the power to implement policy or make specific calls. But she can shine a bright spotlight in her frequent online columns.
So, how did Sullivan come to launch this initiative?
"I started this because it's like that joke about the weather: everyone moans about the misuse of anonymous quotes, but nobody does anything about it," she responded via e-mail. "That is an exaggeration, of course — I think some editors do push back, and some reporters are careful. But they keep coming. It's something that really bothers readers, and readers are whom I represent. So I thought that a more high-profile approach might make a difference."
Sullivan stresses that she's hardly an anti-anonymity zealot. She believes there are many instances where confidential sources are worthwhile.
"Some of the best and most important reporting is based on confidential sourcing," she says. "In fact, I'd go so far as to say that most in-depth, worthwhile reporting relies on developing sources who may not be able to go on the record."
But you've got to draw the line.
"Anonymous quotes shouldn't be used for wild speculation, for smearing someone, or in any unnecessary way," she says. "And I would set a high bar for what's deemed truly necessary to the story."
In the debut of AnonyWatch on March 18, Sullivan came down on a blind quote saying New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo "doesn't really have friends," and another speculating wildly on the fate of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. In both cases, Times Managing Editor Dean Baquet agreed Sullivan was right.
(At USA TODAY, says Standards Editor Brent Jones, the policy is "to use the cloak of anonymity sparingly, and only when the information provided is crucial to the understanding of the story. We need to weigh value of information as much as we do credibility of the source(s) providing the information.")
Sullivan says her next installment will be coming soon. I say good for her.
There are legitimate reasons for granting anonymity, especially in cases when speaking on the record could put the source in danger or get them fired. And if you want insightful behind-the-scenes accounts of what's really going on at intelligence agencies, at the White House, at the Supreme Court, you're awfully unlikely to get them on the record.
At the same time, there's little doubt unnamed sources are far less credible than named ones. There's no reason to use them when someone is taking a shot at someone else, or speculating, or defending an institution, or even saying something completely innocuous.
A little discipline by reporters, and close scrutiny by editors, could go a long way toward creating better journalism.

The Digitech Vocalist Live 2 has taken the world by storm! A low priced solution for vocalists looking to get accurate vocal harmony on stage or in the studio. The Vocalist Live uses guitar chord analysis to build the harmonic structure (not the main vocal) so it is much simpler to use than other harmony processors. The Vocalist Live 2 tracks what chords are being played and creates a chord in that key. Genius! The Vocalist Live 2 has an integrated mixer as well - just plug your vocal mic and guitar into the inputs and your vocal PA and guitar amp to the outputs. Simple. Easy stomp box configuration activates or deactivates the harmony processor. Same goes for the built in digital effects. An unbelievable amount of bang for your buck. A surprising number of songs fool other harmonizers because these songs just don't work with a single key/scale setting. In fact, any song that has the same note sung over two different chords (for example, a C sung in the melody over a C maj / F maj chord sequence) is going to confound conventional harmonizers. Vocalist Live uses breakthrough musIQ technology to directly analyze the output of any electric or pre-amplified acoustic guitar (no special MIDI guitars or hex-outputs needed). Then it generates the correct vocal harmony. For example, if you're singing an A over the chords that are generally found in the key of G, Vocalist will harmonize with a C. But, if you then play an A major, Vocalist will shift to the C#...because like any good harmony singer, it listens to the guitar!

"This recipe is delicious! I made them for our family Christmas party. I found that chilling the coconut mixture well, before wrapping it around the cherries, and again aftering wrapping the cherries, makes it much easier to handle and helps the chocolate set much faster. Otherwise the filling is too sticky. I would make these again and will add them to my favorite Christmas recipes!"

I've often wondered why doctors don't use placebo more often for MS, especially if they do it as described in the article below where, "34 percent said they told the patients the substance was something that "may help and will not hurt."
My vote would be for doctors to prescribe vitamin D or omega-3 as they are widely available, won't hurt, might help and aren't expensive.
Doctors say placebo use common
Jan 3, 2008 - Reuters - Placebos are a surprisingly common prescription, according to a U.S. study in which nearly half of the doctors surveyed said they had doled out a dummy pill at some point.
Researchers at the University of Chicago said on Thursday the study raises ethical questions and suggests a need for greater recognition and understanding of placebo use.
"It illustrates that doctors believe expectation and belief have therapeutic potential," said Rachel Sherman, a medical student at the University of Chicago, whose study was published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
The idea behind placebos is that when patients think they are getting an effective treatment, they sometimes feel better, even though the pill has no proven benefit.
They are often used in clinical trials to compare the benefits of drugs, and many times patients taking placebos show some improvement. But few studies have shown how doctors use placebos in routine practice.
Sherman and Dr. John Hickner, a family medicine professor at the University of Chicago, sent surveys to 466 internists at three Chicago-area academic medical centers. About half, or 231, responded.
Of those, 45 percent said they had used a placebo during their clinical practice, a number that surprised the researchers. But 12 percent of those surveyed said placebos should never be used.
"I think this shows that it strikes a chord among physicians. We may underestimate the body's natural healing potential," Sherman said in a telephone interview. "This shows that doctors may think that, too."
But Sherman said the practice brings up ethical issues, including whether a doctor has an obligation to provide patients with informed consent.
Of respondents who reported using a placebo in clinical practice, 34 percent said they told the patients the substance was something that "may help and will not hurt."
About a third gave other information to patients including, "this may help you but I am not sure how it works."
Nineteen percent said it was a "medication," and 9 percent called it "a medicine with no specific effect." Only 4 percent of the doctors said, "it is a placebo."
Part of the reason doctors are not forthcoming about giving a placebo is that in order for it to work, patients need to believe it can help, Sherman said.
One way around this dilemma is to ask all new patients for their consent in advance. "The patient could say no. Then you avoid any of these ethical questions," Sherman said.

The eyecup incorporates two lenses and measures 40 mm x 30 mm x 12mm. Available from December 2005 at a price to be confirmed, the ME-1 also fits onto the E-500's forerunner, the Olympus E-300.
