The Workout on the Hill
On the weekday mornings, our little park is the kingdom of the retired. They'll be out there at 5 AM just spinning like mad. In the evenings, it plays stage to the teenage lovers with no money or place to go. Later at night, the naughty high schoolers come (still in uniform) to smoke. On the Weekends the Asian businessmen step out of their suits for a day to play Chokku (a cross between soccer and tennis) on the court in the background.
It doesn't matter what time of day I leave or return home, or how far I go. Stepping outside my door is still an adventure.

The Toad Center
Everyone in my classes is saying that yes indeed, springtime brings the toads to Cheongju. I am told that you can even see them hopping on the sidewalk on occasion. I'm totally getting into this place. Join me now for an afternoon stroll through Toad Park Ecological Culture Center!

|Two automobile speeds: 1. Slam on the breaks to avoid lawsuit. 2. Pedal to the metal! I think I can shoot the gap!
I have a personal theory on how Koreans and Westerners regard strangers. First I group 'other people' into three categories.
First, true strangers who are the store clerks, the passersby, the unknown student body at a college etc. Second, acquaintances~friends of friends at a party which you may introduce yourself to comfortably there or conversely get away with not doing so. The same store clerk too if you learn his name and you would recognize each other at the laundromat. Students in your class.
Third, friends. The people you call when you're bored. The people you've worked with for years, gone to school with for years. The people IN your life.
Then I take a 28-years-in-the-making stack of anecdotal experience and say that Koreans treat their acquaintances so much better than Westerners that it's difficult to believe at times. They depend on and support their friends equally more so, but their strangers? Forget about it. Of the millions of people I have passed over the years on the busy streets of Korea, I can count on one hand the times an adult stranger has said hello. And the alarming look of confusion elicited by initiating a greeting of your own quickly lets you know that those other 5-6 foot tall primates roaming around you are background until an external force pushes you together. This is so from towns of 20 thousand amidst the waves and trees all the way up to mega metropolitan areas of 20 million in the urban jungle.
But if I felt a deep internal compulsion to show the incredible kindness and generosity that Koreans do for my friends and acquaintances, I'd be a lot more hesitant to let people in my circle too. The most warm, giving people in the world...if you survive the icy frost bridge (or crosswalk) that leads to their glowing hearts.

My Korean Homes
At the end of this month, I'll be moving once again. Daejeon City was a beautiful home for me in my life but it's time to close that chapter and open another in Cheongju, the lovely capital of Chungcheong North Province. Once again it's time to pack up my maps and make myself a new nest.
Anyone close to me knows how much I love maps. This is one of my homemade favorites. Little memories are drawn all over it. I used to use this map to prepare my motorcycle journeys across the peninsula. But the larger scale map to the side will now be replaced. And as I bid farewell to Daejeon city, I would like to take a moment and tip my hat to my Korean Homes to date.
To the house in Dapdong, Incheon. It was there that I learned to take command of my home. I poured so many hours battling cockroaches and sealing every crack and hole with bottle after bottle of caulk. It was a battle that I won. I am told the house has since been demolished. I last saw it standing in 2007, when I found that my wooden cane was still just where I had left it.
To the cozy apartment in Mokdong, Seoul, where I learned my passion for mapmaking. It was there that I learned how limited my powers of spacial awareness are. It was a battle against the Ministry of Transportation. I color coded and mapped every bus route that so much as turned a corner over my home territory. My walls put any realtor's to shame and that too was a battle I won. I think fondly of the pink luminescent streets outside my window and that peddler of ChapSsalDdeok rice cakes who would cry out so for business each Monday Wednesday and Friday.
To Gimpo city where I learned that Korea was not fabricated by industrious Asian men but was created by a glorious God. It was while living in Gimpo that I discovered my spiritual home in Korea: The nearby Ganghwa Island, home to UNESCO dolmen, stamina boosting ginseng by the truckload, and Mani mountain, the home of Dangun, the Korean forefather. Many of the most majestic scenes in my memory come from the serene natural landscape of Gimpo city.
To Sokcho, and to the discovery of the bottomless kindness and generosity of Korean families.
To Pyeongchon, and a taste of the Korean design for a utopia in this reality.
To Daechi, to the pride and power at the heart of the South Korea's safe, advanced, magnificent capital city.
And to Daejeon, my home for two life changing years. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, drawing water from the clean and clear Daecheongho reservoir, cut through by the glimmering Gapcheon river. Where the roads are wide and lined by clean bicycle paths and trees. Where the citizens are kind and respectful. I have loved this city and will always look on it most fondly. Farewell Daejeon.
What's this...the realtor in Cheongju liked me so much that when I commented on her orange couch, she told me she was soon getting a new one and gave this beauty to me. Good omens.
Stay tuned for more adventures in my newest home.^^
To Cheongju city!
To Cheongju city!

Burberry Man (바바리 맨)
This is not merely an urban myth or cliche film gimmick though. This actually happens. Ask a classroom full of girls if they have ever encountered one at their school and one will often admit to having witnessed them. Police arrest them when possible but these characters are still out there shouting their desperate shout for attention.
It's sad and indicative of a very real problem I know but...I'm sorry it's just funny~the idea of a man in this coat with his dark ray bans and beige fedora going on a mission all sober and straight faced. What peculiar creatures we humans are.

Bathroom Sanitation
Tears are not the only thing a man mustn't spill.
Take one step closer. Even your mood will improve.
And to keep the sink clean, the soap is conveniently skewered on this hook. The result of the slogan is admittedly an attractive restroom.
However, toilet paper is not furnished and due to limited water carrying capacity, we are also admonished to throw used toilet paper which we may bring from home safely in the rubbish bin. It seems there are many ways to look at bathroom sanitation.

There is a direct relationship between a chruch gathering to pray and the Holy Spirit filling that church - as goes prayer meeting, so will go the power of God in our church. Christ taught it in the gospels, the early church proved it in the book of Acts, and the epistles repeat it in th passages such as 1 Timothy 2:1-6. So, we must gather to pray if we want to experience the power of God in our church, lost people saved, and demons driven away.
We offer regular prayer meeting as an opportunity for our members to gather to pray together. Prayer Meeting is open to the general public - so any follower of Christ is welcome to join us. On any given Sunday, 10 - 40 people attend prayer meeting.
We meet for one hour and it normally goes like this:
Large Group Time (5 minutes)
Small Group Time (5 minutes)
Closing Time (5 mintues)
This prayer meeting is on Sundays from 5pm - 6pm in our main worship center where we gather for Sunday morning worship. You are welcome to attend as often as you would like. We recognize that nobody can attend all the prayer meetings.

Ethical Solicitation, Marketing, and Promotion
The Federal Trade Commission recently entered into a Consent Agreement with the PSA to better help promote a competitive business market; the goal is to increase competition between coaches, reduce fees for skaters, improve the quality of services, and to encourage innovation.
To achieve these objectives, all coaches are encouraged to market and promote themselves directly to potential clients. Pursuant to our agreement with the Federal Trade Commission, restrictions that had previously prohibited a coach from soliciting the student of another coach are no longer in effect. Coaches can promote their background and credentials as they see fit, subject, of course, to the requirement that such marketing and promotion may not be misleading, as is discussed in greater detail below.
For example, coaches may choose to market themselves through information which can be posted in a public space at the rink, a dasher board banner, advertised in a flyer or competition program, or promoted in a newspaper. Flyers, business cards, apparel, direct mail, and mass e-mail are all excellent ways to promote your business to a wide audience. Coaches may take the opportunity to have a professional presence on social media, such as blogging, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, or a website, being mindful of how they communicate specifically with minor children in regards to a literal or implied impression of abuse, bullying, or sexual misconduct. Many coaches say they market themselves through their work. Their student's accomplishments are their "advertisement." That, unequivocally, is a great way to promote oneself.
The key to a successful marketing plan is strategic planning. Your plan should identify the tactics you will employ to gain new clients. Your plan should describe your business; a philosophy of your coaching style and technique, services performed, and other details related to the skating business.
More importantly, coaches must research their specific market to help profile their potential customers. Gathering information on the demographics of your area such as economic indicators, social trends, and population statistics will help you understand your target audience. Identify their needs and plan accordingly.
As an example, an introductory private lesson can be given free of charge or at a discounted rate. This allows the coach to evaluate the skater, begin a relationship with the family, and identify talent. It also allows the coach to communicate their vision of short and long term goals for the skater to the parents. In certain situations, discounted lesson fees may be required to allow the skater to participate.
Recruiting students in an ethical manner says a good deal about a coach's integrity and promotes a professional image to prospective clients.
Code of Ethics Rule #2: No member shall represent themselves using false or deceptive statements intended to mislead.
Making statements about the comparative desirability of offered coaching services or claiming or implying unusual, unique, or one-of-a-kind coaching abilities is acceptable as long as it is not misleading.
However, misrepresenting your credentials or experience is not acceptable and will be considered a breach of Rule #2 of the PSA Code of Ethics. The Federal Trade Commission Act, Section Five: Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices, states advertisements in the U.S. must be truthful, not deceptive or unfair. The FTC defines deceitful statements as those that are likely to mislead consumers under normal circumstances and that are likely to affect consumers' decisions.
"Every skater has the right to believe his coach is the best and should not be interfered with by a high-pressure, fast-talking, snake oil salesman who promises stardom but by his own action, lacks the very qualities needed to develop championship caliber skaters."
– Bob Mock, Past President, PSA
The FTC defines unfair advertisements as those that are likely to cause substantial, unavoidable injury, unless the injury is outweighed by the provable benefits. According to Section 5 of the FTC Act, "Substantial injury usually involves monetary harm," but can also come in many other forms. Specifically the FTC writes, "Injury exists if consumers would have chosen differently but for the deception."
According to the FTC Policy Statement on Deception written in October of 1983, practices that have been found misleading or deceptive in specific cases include false oral or written representations, or failure to perform promised services. The FTC also considers claims or omissions "material" if they significantly impact health or safety in which a consumer could be reasonably concerned.
Coaches should take extra care when promoting themselves to children, and refrain from using psychological tactics to encourage demand. The FTC places special emphasis on truth-in-advertising laws when applied to children. Again, the FTC Policy Statement on Deception reports, "False, misleading, and deceptive advertising claims beamed at children tend to exploit unfairly a consumer group unqualified by age or experience to anticipate or appreciate the possibility that representations may be exaggerated or untrue. "
Another important responsibility is to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for all skaters. Coaches should be respectful of any disruption in the workplace that may put a skater's safety in jeopardy.
Code of Ethics Rule #3: In order to protect the safety and development of students, no member shall engage in any in person solicitation of a student while the student is actively engaged in a lesson or while "performing". "Performing" means skating or preparing to skate in an event at an arena in a test, competition, or exhibition, and includes meeting with coaches, locker room time, practice skating, and warmup skating.
Additionally, for US Figure Skating registered coaches, SafeSport policies must be followed in order to provide a safe environment for its members that are free of abuse and harassment. While the PSA wishes to encourage the open recruitment of skaters, our members must understand the limitations required to protect minors. The SafeSport Program Handbook is available for download on the US Figure Skating website.

Top 10 Roundup
North Dakota State, Eastern Washington pull FBS upsets
No. 1 North Dakota State stuns Kansas State 24-21
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Led by a senior quarterback unflappable under pressure, North Dakota State rallied from a two-touchdown hole to beat the defending Big 12 champion Kansas State 24-21 on Friday night.
Brock Jensen backed into the end zone for the go-ahead score with 28 seconds left to cap an 18-play, 80-yard drive that ate up 8 1/2 minutes and left the Wildcats virtually no time to try for a tying field goal.
Jensen threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns for the Bison, who have made a habit of knocking off bigger and more glamorous schools. Three years ago it was the Wildcats' in-state rival Kansas, two years ago it was Minnesota from the Big Ten, and last year Colorado State was bitten.
Sam Ojuri had 10 carries for 127 yards, and John Crockett also ran for 50 yards for the Bison. Ryan Smith caught eight passes for 72 yards and a touchdown.
No. 2 Montana State runs over Monmouth in 42-24 rout
BOZEMAN, Mont. -- Montana State ran wild on Monmouth in the first half and cruised to a 42-24 win in the season opener for both teams Thursday night.
MSU scored three touchdowns in the first quarter to go up 22-0, the last a 90-yard run by Shawn Johnson. The Bobcats rolled up 388 total yards, including 205 rushing by halftime, before a stadium record 21,007 fans. They finished with 561 total yards.
Brad Daly led the defensive charge for the Bobcats. The end had four quarterback hurries, four tackles for loss, a sack and a forced fumble in the first half alone. He set up a touchdown for tackle Craig Ashworth by harassing Brandon Hill into a bad throw. He then blocked the quarterback and raced to the sideline for a second block, allowing Ashworth to score.
Cody Kirk ran for two first-half scores, setting a Montana State career record for rushing touchdowns with 31.
No. 3 Eastern Washington upsets FBS-ranked Oregon State
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Vernon Adams passed for 411 yards and ran for 107 and the go-ahead score with 18 seconds left as Eastern Washington upset No. 25 Oregon State 49-46 on Saturday to become the third FCS team to beat a ranked FBS team.
Adams overwhelmed the Beavers in a performance in sure to attract attention around the nation. He threw for four touchdowns and ran for two, completing 23 of 30 passes despite leaving the game twice -- once with cramping and a second time after taking a hard hit near the sideline.
Adams returned, though, and scored on a 2-yard run to put the Eagles up 49-46. It was the first time a team from the FCS has defeated a ranked team from the FBS since James Madison beat Virginia Tech in September 2010.
Ashton Clark had 155 yards receiving and Cooper Kupp had 119 yards and two touchdowns for the Eagles.
No. 4 Sam Houston State blows out Houston Baptist 74-0
HUNTSVILLE, Texas -- Steven Hicks ran for a touchdown and led a rushing attack that amassed 365 yards and Sam Houston State beat Houston Baptist 74-0 on Saturday night in the season opener for both teams.
Hicks rushed for 99 yards and was among four Sam Houston State running backs to gain more than 50 yards in the lopsided victory. The Bearkats running back had more yards than the entire Houston Baptist offense (90).
The Huskies were playing their first game in program history and have an abbreviated seven-game schedule. Houston Baptist will join the Southland Conference in 2014.
Sam Houston State's Brian Bell completed just five passes but two of them were for touchdowns.
Seastrunk, Petty lead Baylor past No. 5 Wofford 69-3
WACO, Texas -- Lache Seastrunk ran for 111 yards and two touchdowns, Bryce Petty threw for 290 yards and two scores in his first start and Baylor scored its most points since 1929 in a 69-3 victory against Wofford on Saturday night.
Petty, a junior, needed just 10 plays and 2:05 combined on game-opening drives of 70 and 65 yards for a 14-0 lead.
Wofford, one of the best running teams in FCS, struggled in its first game without all-time rushing leader Eric Breitenstein. Playing their first game in Texas, the Terriers needed 60 carries to get 173 rushing yards, 2.9 yards per run.
The game-time temperature was 102 for the start.
No. 6 Central Arkansas welcomes Incarnate Word to DI, 58-7
CONWAY, Ark. -- Jatavious Wilson caught two touchdown passes and returned a kickoff 93 yards as Central Arkansas beat Incarnate Word 58-7 during a sweltering season opener Thursday night.
It was 97 degrees at game time
Incarnate Word was playing its first game of Division I football. It was quite the welcome from Central Arkansas' Bears, who have reached the FCS playoffs the previous two seasons. Blake Veasley scored the game's first two touchdowns -- rushing from 11 and 18 yards -- three minutes apart. Danzel Williams also scored two TDs for the Bears, who scored at least twice in every quarter and piled up 523 yards of total offense.
Incarnate Word, a San Antonio school that didn't begin playing football until 2009, scored on Trent Brittain's 38-yard run with four minutes remaining.
No. 7 South Dakota State pummels Butler 55-14
BROOKINGS, S.D. -- Austin Sumner threw three touchdown passes and South Dakota State totaled more than 500 yards of offense in a 55-14 win against Butler on Saturday night in the season opener for both teams.
Jackrabbits offensive stars Sumner and Zach Zenner each had a big game. Sumner, who completed 32 passes for 332 yards, has a good chance to become South Dakota State's all-time leading passer this season. Zenner, who carried the ball 16 times for 177 yards and two TDs, returns after leading the nation in rushing last season.
Sumner's first touchdown pass broke a 7-7 tie and the Jackrabbits rattled off 34 unanswered points to put the game out of reach.
The Jackrabbits amassed 546 yards of total offense compared with Butler's 272.
Boston College beats No. 9 Villanova 24-14
BOSTON -- Alex Amidon had 13 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown as Boston College recovered from a slow start to beat Villanova 24-14 on Saturday and win its first game under head coach Steve Addazio.
Andre Williams ran for 114 yards on 23 carries for the Eagles (1-0), who won just twice last season and fired head coach Frank Spaziani.
John Robertson ran for 94 yards and passed for 158 more for Villanova (0-1). Jamal Abdur-Rahman caught one TD pass and had a 47-yard touchdown run on a fake punt on the game's opening drive.
The Wildcats, a top 10 team in the Football Championship Subdivision, also led 14-7 before Boston College scored the next 17 points. The Eagles took the lead for good on a two-play drive that included a 36-yard pass to Bobby Wolford and a 24-yard run by Williams to make it 21-14.
Balanced Ball State beats No. 10 Illinois State 51-28
MUNCIE, Ind. -- Keith Wenning passed for three touchdowns and ran for two and Ball State defeated Illinois State 51-28 in the season opener for both teams.
Willie Snead caught two of Wenning's touchdown passes and finished with nine catches for 164 yards. Wennin was 24 of 40 for 340 yards.
Illinois State led 21-9 before Wenning hit Javond Williams to make it 21-16 at half. Ball State opened the second half with the two touchdowns passes to Snead before Wenning scored his fifth touchdown on a 3-yard run. Jahwan Edwards and Horactio Banks each had rushing touchdowns to conclude the six-touchdown run for the Cardinals.
Illinois State, coming off a FCS quarterfinal appearance finish last season, was led by Jared Barnett who was 20-for-29 with two touchdowns. Collin Keoshian also scored two touchdowns for the Redbirds. The two teams have not played since 1993, renewing the series dating to 1957.

"Random Exploration" is my first acrylic creation. He is 30x40 on canvas. I did not have a clue or a plan as to how this was going to come out. I had bought some paints from a yard sale and decided I would give it a try and this was the result. It hangs in my foyer. I knew that peacocks were my favorite bird so I sketched the head and tail from a design on a scarf that I had purchased from an arts and crafts fair and then added the celtic designs that wrapped around his neck. I played around with the eyes on the tail and they ended up looking like they were glowing. The background was very plain so I start filling in with the swirls on the bottom and ended up with dots all around. It just goes to show you that not every artist has a reason for painting what they paint, sometimes its just random exploration!

In the wake of the San Bernardino shooting that claimed 14 lives earlier this week, some have rushed to blame the National Rifle Association and the ambiguous "gun lobby" for stripping away laws that might have kept firearms out of the suspects' hands.
Setting aside the details of the shooting investigation, which now point to an act of radical Islamic terrorism, an examination of the NRA's actual lobbying and political contributions reveals it is a relatively light spender compared to other corporations, interest groups and industries.
For example, the NRA spent roughly half of what the dairy industry spent last year on lobbying, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
"Just what will it take for Congress to overcome the intimidation of the gun lobby and do something as sensible as making sure people on the terrorist watch list can't buy weapons?" Hillary Clinton said Thursday at a campaign event in New Hampshire, joining a chorus of Democrats who called for aggressive gun control measures immediately after the shooting Wednesday.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

Unlike stairs, waterfalls are THE BEST.
After the loss of my home of 5 weeks, I was stuck in limbo. Between finding another van, selling Grandpa Jimmy, searching for a short term job, and finally working said job (apple thinning), I was craving a hike and sorely out of shape. I left the orchard as soon as I had gas money in my bank account and headed for the Kaimai-Mamatu range for some socially acceptable torture. (Also known as hiking up a freaking mountain).
Two hours of crossing and re-crossing the Waitengue stream and 45 minutes of practically crawling uphill later, I stopped mid-labored breathing and was filled with aw at the sheer power of what I soon discovered was a 106 meter high waterfall in the middle of pure wilderness.
With the feelings of elation and beauty brought forth from this liquid column fresh in my heart, I began my search for all the waterfalls in the North Island.
I had time for 4.
My first stop after Ananui was another, taller fall in the same mountain range: The Wairere Falls.
The hike to this massive 156 meter waterfall was much shorter (45 minutes) and therefore, had significantly higher traffic and nicer walkways. I felt spoiled from my solo wilderness adventure as a I lined up with all the schmucks who came to such a developed, touristy waterfall. Naturally I didn't consider myself a schmuck, as I was so clearly enlightened.
But then, maybe there's a reason it's so popular. Not only was the viewpoint spectacular, the falls perfectly draped themselves to look as wild and stunning as possible, with the wind blowing smaller sections into a veil across the cliffs.
I could get used to waterfall hunting.
Ah the ol' Bridal Veil Falls. I'm pretty sure there are at least 20 of these in the US alone.* I much prefer the Maori name for it, Waireinga, which means "leaping waters," and is far more accurate a description.
*Possibly an exaggeration
I would hardly consider getting to this water faucet a hike. To reach the base of the falls (55 meters below) takes less than ten minutes, and marching/struggling your way back up the stairs shouldn't take much longer. The really fascinating thing about this waterfall, and what makes it unique, is the way the cliff and rocks that surround it are formed. According to the DoC (Department of Conservation) brochure:
The final waterfall in my North Island excursion was Bells Falls in Egmont National Park. I consider this a bonus fall, because I had planned to hike the 2-3 day Pouakai Circuit, and there just happened to be a side trip to another cliffriver (I've renamed waterfalls to sound as intense as they really are).
The DoC brochure informed me that the track to the falls is 30 minutes one way. What it neglected to say is that the entire 30 minutes is spent going downhill.
Since I had already spent a little over 2 hours in intensely steep and rocky travel before arriving at my little side adventure, I was not excited to discover that the path just. kept. descending.
When I finally reached the bottom, this was the pathetic site that greeted me:
Well now here was a dilemma. I had traveled all this way and made so much extra work for myself, there's no way I was accepting this as my view of Bells Falls. So I did what any self-respecting cliffriver enthusiast would and set off determinedly up the rocky terrain, sans pack.
Many slippery boulders and several body-contortioning moves later, I was all up in that waterfall.
But not literally, because that water comes down frighteningly hard.

docand (over 6 years ago)
HI, I'm Doc. I don't know if I responded to your post. I don't think I did so.... Lexi went in for her dental work on Monday of this week. She had white lesions next to her upper canine teeth. They were noticed about 9 months ago and I figured that I would just keep an eye on them. They really never changed any, but I finally decided to get them checked out anyways. They were about 1/4 inch in diameter. Both the surgeon and his nurse are certified dental techs. They both thought that they were caused by plaque buildup on the teeth. The only way to find out was to remove and send in for a lab. That done, they also cleaned her teeth and pulled a dead tooth. It's Friday, and she is all back to normal now. No word heard on the lab. Have a nice week-end. Doc and his girls

Donuts may be mankind's greatest invention. I think we can all agree that the world would be a better place if there was a Krispy Kreme or a Dunkin' Donuts on every corner. Until that bright future arrives, this easy way to make donuts at home might be the next best thing.
The video below shows how you can make donuts in your own kitchen. The process is so simple, anyone can do it. You only need two ingredients: buttermilk biscuits and vegetable oil. That's it! You are only moments away from fresh, hot donuts.
Simply open a tube of premade buttermilk biscuit dough and cut it into wheels. Next, cut out the center of each wheel to shape your donuts. This can be done with an empty, clean pill container, shot glass, or other similarly shaped object.
Pour a little vegetable oil into a pan and place it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, start dropping in your biscuit-rings.
They fry up pretty quickly, so be ready to flip them when they start to turn brown.
After your donuts are fried, you can decorate them however you like! Maybe you're the cinnamon and sugar type? Or perhaps you prefer a glaze, or fancy a powdered sugar dusting?
However you take them, these donuts are delicious. Check out the video for more information.

I spend most of my days simply trying to contain my energy. I was trying to explain the physical feeling and the best I could do was relate it to licking a 9v battery - that buzz you get on your tongue. There are times in my day where I feel that EVERYWHERE in my body and it takes all of my self-control to keep from bouncing off the wall.
It's such a welcome change from where I was even 6 months ago. I look back, even just in my writing, and I see the change. I don't know what caused it, but I don't care to figure that out either. I'm just grateful for it. And I'm grateful beyond words for the people He has put in my life (or left in my life, as the case may be) that have not only encouraged me on this path but continue to kick my ass down it. Having that kind of support is something I will try never to take for granted.
My friend, DC, wrote a book titled, "Choose Your Super Power" and she asked me to read it prior to its release. The timing couldn't have been better. Her insight into the choices we face and the effects those choices have on our lives was profoundly moving and reassuring to me. If I ever doubted the path I'm currently on, I no longer do. I would encourage you to go grab this book and give it a read (no, I'm not earning anything for plugging her book. She's just awesome and so is the book.)
EMT class is going well. My instructor shushed me last night in class because I was answering all of the questions and not giving anyone else a chance. Whoops. I aced the first test and now we're finally getting past all of the dry/boring material and into more of the hands-on stuff. Trauma assessments come naturally to me (yay for lifeguarding!) and the familiarity is comforting. I'm looking forward to my ride-alongs, but my hope is that they are a little less exciting than the one I did the first time I took the class.
And then it seems I'll be working on my application to paramedic school.
On the Team Rubicon front, things have changed a bit there. National is working to get leadership within each state set up so that the states have more local control over events, operations, etc. Our state does not currently have a Training Coordinator, a Planning Coordinator, and a few other key personnel. Nor did we have a State Administrator (who gets to fill all of those roles personally until they can identify someone to take the lead in that position). So I offered to step into the State Admin role and they were crazy enough to let me! What I lack in experience, I make up in both enthusiasm and support (my Regional leadership team is freaking AMAZING). So I'm trying to be a sponge at the moment and learn as much as I can as quickly as I can. My two basic premises are:
1. There are no stupid questions
2. What are they going to do? Fire me? (probably not the best approach, but hey...what are they going to do? Fire me?)
Kansas is a bit of a blank slate so that helps. We've not had any kind of state leadership before so we can kind of make this up as we go. The blessing in all of this is that I have amazing people to work with...beside me here in this state, at the Regional level, and at the National level. I was in the middle of dispatching some people (my first real op to work behind the scenes on spooling up!) and fired off a question via email to National at 0115 in the morning.
I had an answer in 15 minutes.
Apparently, National doesn't sleep any more than I do. That kind of support is the norm.
While I didn't get the chance to go down to Mulvane, KS and help with the muck out down there, I did get to be a part of an operation from start to finish. It was fascinating to do so. I learned more in those 2 weeks than I could have learned in a month of reading about it all.
And next month, I get to go to the National Conference! I'm fan-girling so badly right now! I remember my first MilBlogging Conference and just wandering around, mouth hanging open, gaping at all of these people I had admired for so long. And they were all there, in one room. And I was there WITH them! It was surreal. That's how I feel about going to NatCon. And that's topped by the chance to spend quality time with my personal TR friends. I've been missing them something fierce since our Regional Conference in Branson so this will be food for my soul.
For now, it's time to study. Airway management, vital sign assessment, and trauma assessment review. Whee!

From ChronoWiki
The following is the list of all tutorials available for the Chrono::Engine, they represent a good starting point to learn programming with this multibody library.
Source code for all the examples presented in these tutorials is included in the SDK. (Note: the actual C++ code of the examples in the SDK might be slightly different because we constantly update them.)
Demos with Irrlicht 3D interface
These examples are the most descriptive and amusing, since they show Chrono::Engine features within a graphical user interface, using a realtime 3D visualization engine called Irrlicht. (To compile these examples you must install also the Irrlicht API on your computer) . These demos are also available as precompiled binaries in the Chrono::Engine directory bin/Win32_VisualStudio/, if you used the installer of the Simplified_installation. To play the precompiled binaries you don't need Irrlicht installed on your computer.
We used Irrlicht, but of course you can use alternative libraries, such as GLUT, OpenGL, Ogre, etc. Consider these tutorial as suggestions. The visualization runs in real-time for most systems with a decent graphic adaptor and a recent processor.
The simpliest way to integrate Chrono::Engine in the Irrlicht 3D visualization library: in fact the coordinates of the joints are simply used as end-points of simple polygonal lines which are drawn in the 3D space for each frame redraw, to show a very simplified 'skeleton' of a slider-crank mechanism. The demo also teaches how to:
This tutorial is similar to the demo_crank example, but here a small user-interface is created, so that the user can play with a slider to modify the speed of the motor. The user interface is created with simple GUI features of Irrlicht, but other kind of interfaces/visualization systems could be used. Here you can also learn
A bunch of random shapes will fall into a box, stacking in random order. Differently from the two examples above, here a special object is used to encapsulate Chrono::Engine rigid bodies, and some 'shortcuts' are used to manage them in Irrlicht. Learn about:
Another tutorial about collisions. Create a stack of geometric primitives. Learn about:
Create some swinging pendulums, anchored to sliding joints. They move when the fan pushes some air toward them. This tutorial shows how to:
Create a transmission made of pulleys, spur gears, bevel gears. Custom simplified constraints are available, to avoid the simulation of contacts between gear teeth. This tutorial shows how to:
Simulate a small mobile robot with omnidirectional 'mecanum' wheels. Use keyboard to perform basic motion. This tutorial shows how to:
A benchmark that show the feature of spinning friction (aka 'drilling' friction) and rolling friction. These types of frictions are useful for rolling objects like wheels, spheres etc. and can be optionally turned on. This tutorial shows how to:
Simulate a simplified vehicle with double-wishbone suspensions (like racing cars) and drive it using the mouse over some sliders in the interface. This tutorial shows how to:
Simulate a simplified vehicle with tracks, that interact with obstacles, and that can be driven by the user. This tutorial shows how to:
Use the assets system to create shapes that can be shown in the Irrlicht 3D view. This is a less invasive approach respect to the previous Irrlicht demos. This tutorial shows how to:
Note: the same assets that you use for Irrlicht display can be used for postprocessing, ex. with POVray as explained in demo_postprocess.
Learn how you can use few C++ lines of code to load a mechanism that you exported from SolidWorks. This tutorial shows how to:
Core features
These examples are about the basic features of the Chrono::Engine programming system, which can be used also for non-physics stuff. Some of these tutorials can be skipped (they deal with 'low level' stuff..).
Demo on how to use Chrono mathematical objects and functions (vector math, matrices, linear algebra, etc.). No GUI: only text output.
Tutorial on how to perform 3D coordinate manipulation (rotation and translations of points, frames, etc.) thank to C++ objects and custom operators introduced in Chrono::Engine. No GUI: only text output.
Tutorial on files, streams, serialization. Learn:
No GUI: only text output.
Tutorial on how Chrono::Engine core functionality can handle smart pointers and shared objects. These smart pointers can be useful also in projects non related to physics simulation too. No GUI: only text output.
These tutorials teach how to setup physical systems in Chrono::Engine. Here we do not use any graphical user interface: see the 'Irrlicht' tutorials for demos with a 3D graphical output.
Tutorial which teaches the basic approach to build and simulate mechanical systems. No 3D user interface is used here, so you compile this example even if you do not have Irrlicht 3D visualization library installed. Learn how:
No GUI: only text output.
Tutorial which teaches the basic approach to build systems that embed powertrains, made with 1-degree-of-freedom items (rotating shafts).
No GUI: only text output.
Tutorial that teaches how to use the ChFunction inherited classes to build math functions of y=f(x) type. The ChFunction objects are 'building blocks' whose main usage is to describe motion laws, such as trajectories in automation and robotics, etc.
No GUI: only text output.
Tutorial that teaches how to use the unit_POSTPROCESSING to create animations with POVray. When the simulation is run, a set of .pov and .ini files are saved on disk, so that one can use POVray later to do high-quality rendering of simulations.
Note: the same assets can be used to render animations in real-time in the interactive 3D view of Irrlicht, as explained in demo_irr_assets.
MS VisualStudio C++ IDE
Compile an develop Chrono::Engine applictions without using the CMake system. These examples are contained in the demo/msvc/ directory. Read the README.TXT for informations about how to configure your Microsoft VisualStudio IDE.
Develop a C++/CLI .NET application that uses Chrono::Engine and embeds a small Irrlicht view. Of course you are not forced to embed the Irrlicht 3D viewing system in the GUI of your .NET projects, but this is a general example - if you prefer, you can use directly OpenGL or DirectX or other methods. This tutorial shows how to:
This is not a ready-to-use example, but it is a tutorial on how to use the ChronoEngineWizard in your Microsoft Visual C++ Express IDE to set up quickly a new project. This tutorial shows how to:
These demos are about the unit_MATLAB.
If you own a copy of the Matlab(TM) software, you can interact with it from Chrono::Engine, in order to plot data, make complex computations, perform co-simulations, etc.
Entry level demo about how to use Matlab(TM) to plot Chrono::Engine data, to perform computations, etc. This example requires that you own a copy of Matlab(TM), properly installed on your system (if you do not have Matlab(TM) installed and you try to execute demo_matlab.exe, it will give an error because it cannot load the Matlab engine dll). This tutorial shows how to:
Note that the unit_MATLAB is used.
Use Matlab(TM) to plot Chrono::Engine ChFunction objects. This example requires that you own a copy of Matlab(TM), properly installed on your system (if you do not have Matlab(TM) installed and you try to execute demo_matlab.exe, it will give an error because it cannot load the Matlab engine dll). This tutorial shows how to:
Note that the unit_MATLAB is used.
Co-simulation with Simulink
If you own a copy of the Simulink software, you can use the cosimulation unit in order to simulate pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical subsystems that interact with mechanisms modeled in Chrono::Engine.
Tutorial that covers the fundamentals concepts of Simulink<->Chrono::Engine cosimulation, with the following example: an hydraulic piston moves a rigid body connected to a hinge.
These examples are only for users that have installed the OpenCASCADE library, because the CASCADE unit is used in these tutorials. Thank to this additional module it is possible to load 3D CAD files saved in the STEP format.
This example builds a minimal application where the user can load a STEP model into the Irrlicht 3D visalization window. This tutorial shows how to:
Entry level example that shows how to use the CASCADE unit to load a 3D STEP model saved from a professional CAD software. This tutorial shows how to:
Advanced example that shows how to use the CASCADE unit to load a 3D STEP model of a robot, containing many parts. This tutorial shows how to:
These examples are only for users that are using Chrono::PyEngine, that is the Python module for using Chrono::Engine with Python.
Learn the basics of Python interoperation with Chrono::Engine.
Basic creation of a physical system and rigid bodies.
Create a postprocessing system based on POVray.
Create a small stack of bricks, move the floor like an earthquake, and see the bricks falling. Learn how:
Import a SolidWorks scene into your Chrono::PyEngine program, and simulate it.
Tutorials for users that installed the Chrono::SolidWorks add-in for SolidWorks into their SolidWorks CAD.
Learn the basics of Chrono::SolidWorks add-in for SolidWorks:
Tips for advanced use of Chrono::SolidWorks add-in, with some Python tricks and tips for:
This tutorial is about how to define collision shapes when using the Chrono::SolidWorks add-in for SolidWorks.

Day Five: Six things you wish you'd never done.
1.I wish I wouldn't have chosen maths6 but maths4 and art instead. I miss art and I'm tired of maths.
2.I wish I wouldn't have bought soo many things, like things I'm not wearing at all but don't get sold easily, sucks.
3.I wish I would've been more careful in my last mathstest, lost 1,5marks just because of mostly silly mistakes, arghh!
4.Same for physics, haha.
5.I wish I would have waited before buying/choosing nearly all my furniture years ago, I should've bought more white stuff. (Not that I don't like it, but.. yeah:P)
6.I wish I would've (also) waited before buying such a crappy camera 3years ago. Buut I'm gonna buy a better one soon anyways, so whatever!
I couldn't think of any better things. Gonna catch up Day Six sometime during the weekend, I think. xx

3 things every Ole Miss fan needs to know today
Spring football has officially begun for Ole Miss, who started practices Wednesday. Unfortunately, there likely won't be much news coming out of the Rebels' camp over the next couple weeks, as media availability is pretty limited this spring. However, coach Hugh Freeze and quarterback Chad Kelly will meet with the media Thursday. All in all, the main goal for the spring is simple: Don't get anyone hurt.
Here are three things to know:
- There will be no quarterback battle to keep up with this spring, but there are still plenty of intriguing storylines to keep tabs on. Check out our spring preview on the Ole Miss offense and defense.
- One key area of emphasis will be at linebacker, which is lacking in bodies. However, the Rebels took a step in correcting that issue Wednesday, as Ole Miss landed a big-time graduate transfer from Oregon State.
- On the hardwood, there isn't much for the Rebels to play for until they reach the SEC tournament next week, but that didn't stop Stefan Moody for going off for 43 points on Senior Night to help Ole Miss defeat rival Mississippi State, 86-78.
Other Ole Miss news from around the Internet
- Former Ole Miss great Deuce McAllister joined Ben Garrett of the "Ole Miss Spirit Podcast" on Rebel Sports Radio to give his thoughts on how defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche should handle his off-the-field troubles leading up to the 2016 NFL Draft.
- The Ole Miss baseball team continued its hot start to the season Wednesday, as the Rebels rallied from a 6-0 deficit to knock off Memphis, 9-7. Ole Miss is 7-1 on the year and travels to Conway, S.C., to take part in the Coastal Carolina tournament beginning on Friday.

Good day everyone!
It has been way to long since I've talked to you! I have to apologize to you for not posting so much these past two months. I'd expected to have a lot of free time in August and thus being able to post a lot, but it didn't quite turn out that way.
In July I was away on vacation and not long after my return, I started working in a Belgian amusement park for the month of August. I thought I'd still have the chance to read and blog (even more than usual), but I just didn't find the time to do it! It was frustrating, but working at that amusement park was a super fun experience and I learned a lot from it.
That's the biggest reason of my absence on my blog. But enough with the excuses. I really missed blogging and reading, I love being a part of this community and I plan to make it one of my main priorities again. At this moment school is not giving me too much work (yet), but I think it won't pose that much of a problem in the future.
I wanted to get this out there and tell you a bit more why I wasn't active so much the past few weeks. I plan to post at least one post a week from now on.
Thank you so much for reading and I wish you the best of luck this school year!

The surge in home values is good news for homeowners looking to tap the equity in their homes to pay down debt or make big purchases, but consumer advocates worry that it may be setting the stage for a spike in loan defaults.
Consumers have plenty of reasons to tap into their home equity, such as paying off credit card debt or financing long-delayed home-improvement projects. Banks are happy to oblige, especially with rising interest rates suppressing demand for traditional mortgage refinancing.
The problem is that a cash-out refi is much riskier than a credit card loan, said Sarah Wolff, a senior researcher at the Center for Responsible Lending.
"You are trading your unsecured debt for debt that's tied to your home, and a default in that case would be much more catastrophic," she said.
Banks are already seeing increased demand for cash-out refis. The total dollar amount of home equity cashed out rose 66% to $17.6 billion in the third quarter compared to the same period in 2015, according to Freddie Mac. The trend shows little sign of slowing down, said Len Kiefer, deputy chief economist at Freddie Mac.
"We expect overall volume of cash-out refis to trend higher," Kiefer said.
Other lenders have placed bets recently that variations on the cash-out refinance model could catch fire with consumers. SoFi and Fannie Mae in November introduced a cash-out refi option specifically for paying down student loan debt.
Still, the overall industry level of cash-out refi volume remains at extremely low levels, even after a recent period of recovery, Kiefer said. The total dollar value of cash-out refis remained below $10 billion for several years during the recession. They have slowly inched back up, but remain well below pre-crisis levels of $30 billion and higher, so banks have plenty of capacity to lend, Kiefer said.
Interest rate shifts could also lead to more cash-out refis. The prime rate, which climbed to 3.75% in the fourth quarter, could continue to rise if the Federal Reserve proceeds with rate hikes. Credit card debt, largely based on the prime rate, could become more expensive and consumers could use cash-out refis to pay off those cards, Kiefer said.
That's where the problems could surface for consumers, said the Center for Responsible Lending's Wolff.
Total household debt rose 2.4% to $12.35 trillion in the third quarter compared to the same period in the previous year, according to the Center for Microeconomic Data at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Credit card debt, a portion of that total, rose 4.6% to $747 billion in the same period.
Problems with high levels of consumer debt have started to emerge. Late-payment rates on credit cards issued by banks, as well as on auto loans, rose in the third quarter to their highest levels in more than two years, the American Bankers Association said. That was partly due, however, to delinquency rates being so low for an extended period and consumers warming up again to taking out loans.
Bankers, for their part, are not too worried about the recent uptick in demand for cash-out refis leading to a wave of defaults. While some regions of the country are still struggling economically, most have bounced back from the recession of 2008 and 2009. .
"In the large Western [U.S.] markets where we primarily operate, we have experienced a substantial amount of home price appreciation…[and] wages have risen faster in the West than in the nation as a whole," said Mark Mason, the chairman and CEO at the $6 billion-asset HomeStreet Bank in Seattle.
At HomeStreet, single-family mortgage interest rate lock and purchase loan commitments climbed 32% in the fourth quarter from the same period in 2015, to nearly $1.8 billion.
New industry regulations may also help protect consumers from overextending themselves, Wolff said.
"Big levels of consumer defaults could be less likely now that loans are so much more stringently underwritten," she said.

Men's Skin Care Routine | Carlos Costa
We're talking about skin care, and we want to keep it simple. Team Beardbrand's Carlos Costa is here to explain his daily skin care routine.
The first step is to look for products that contain natural ingredients, as they're better for - and easier on - your skin. Give your face a good wash in the morning, and try leaving your skin a little damp when applying your moisturizer. Carlos is using Magical Moringa from Lush, and recommends a moisturizer including rosehip oil, as it penetrates deep into the skin and helps with collagen production. And if your skin is a little drier than usual, you can break out the beard oil! Beardbrand's beard oil is formulated to not only keep your beard hydrated and soft, but it's also a great skin moisturizer.
Carlos also recommends the occasional use of face masks to clean out pores and help with reducing blackheads and acne. In addition, he encourages guys to use a good exfoliating scrub at least twice a week.
And don't forget about the beard! Washing your beard two to three times a week is recommended to keep your beard clean, healthy, and looking its best.
Another key component in keeping your skin looking great and keeping it hydrated is drinking water and making sure your diet is in check.

As many tech companies push to counter the use of cash in favor of cards and mobile wallets, some merchants are pushing back by urging the use of cash.
Certain sectors already offer a cash discount—the practice is common with gasoline sales—but on a one-off basis many merchants are unsure how to handle the practice. Despite cash being seen as a counter to the costs and complications of digital alternatives, cash use can also benefit from a bit of targeted technology.
That's the case for The House, a sports bar and grill in Arlington, Texas, which recently adopted SignaPay's PayLo software to automate cash discounts and saw its payment costs fall by nearly $1,000 a month, said owner Mike Brewer.
"We were paying about $1,100 a month in credit and debit card fees each month and after introducing cash discounts, that number dropped to about $140," Brewer said.
The House's average transaction is about $20, and when a server rings it up, PayLo calculates the interchange, card association and network fees to be about 79 cents, according to Brewer. The software then offers a discount of that amount for customers who pay in cash.
"A fee as little as 79 cents may not sound like much, but for a small business it adds up throughout the year," Brewer said. The House also benefits from improved cash flow since adopting PayLo, according to Brewer.
Customers had mixed reactions when Brewer introduced PayLo a few months ago.
"Some people didn't like it, but we have a lot of regulars and once they understood the system, they haven't had a problem with it," Brewer said.
SignaPay developed its software for merchants who said they wanted to push cash over cards struggled with the complexity of determining an appropriate cash discount and explaining how it works.
"Most merchants know they can offer a cash discount, but they don't know how to execute the whole thing," said Joe Martillo, CEO of SignaPay's an Irving, Texas-based supplier of payment terminals and software.
PayLo applies a "customer service fee" to each sale made with the company's payment terminal. The customer can skip paying the fee by opting to pay with cash or a gift card, which the merchant must explain, in accordance with card network policies.
The PayLo software calculates a service fee based on the interchange, card association and network fees for each transaction, which may vary based on the card, according to Martillo. Certain cards with richer rewards programs tend to have higher per-transaction fees, he said.
Smaller restaurants, coffee shops and hair salons are among those showing the most interest in PayLo, according to Martillo.
Merchants can set their own cash discount based on their business costs, Martillo said. "PayLo has a flexible fee structure, and we can work with merchants on how much of the card fee to pass through."
"The merchant services industry is extremely competitive and margins are thin, so anything that differentiates a reseller is a positive, and it also seems to be a good tool for retaining merchants once they experience lower overhead costs," Martillo said.
Other firms offer different variations of cash-discount programs with card processing. One is Malvern, Pa.-based JetPay. Analysts said JetPay's Limitless cash-discount program, in late 2015, said could be a plus for certain merchants whose business models support such an approach.

30 Tips for New Motorcycle Riders
Having ridden motorcycles off and on since 1969 I was watching some being given here and there but not all in one place. Many of the tips and hints that are gathered here are timeless but when I started out there were no safety classes. There were no internet articles that I could search for things on when I first started riding. The magazines were few and far between and most guys weren't into women riding their own. Aerostitch wouldn't make clothes for women then and if we cut their clothing down we were told we would lose any guarantee. So these 30 tips for new motorcycle riders are all things I had to learn on my own. By myself.
- Don't forget to put the kickstand down at the gas pump. Ever.
- Your bike tends to go where you look. So if you are looking at that tree? There you go. Looking at the pretty fence or barn? Yes, that is where you will go. Look at how big that pothole is? It may be a rough ride.
- If there is something in the road, don't fixate on it, look elsewhere or you may hit it. Pieces of board, dead animals, chunks of tires, crib mattresses, shoes, (dirty diapers can be slick) and that piece of a chair are all things to avoid and not to ride into. When the motorcyclist ahead of you points out a hazard you want to avoid it not ride right over it.
- Look through a curve not at the guardrail or the pretty scenery at the side of the road.
- Don't assume a turn signal means that they plan on turning. Cars or other motorcycle riders may not realize their turn signal is blinking. They may be trying to give a warning long in advance of their turn. People drive differently. It all can be a hazard to watch out for.
- If you realize a block down the road that your turn signal is still blinking? Get an automatic shutoff of find a better way to remember to shut it off.
- Learn what the different biker hand signals mean.
- Lean how to countersteer when going around curves. Turning a bit to the left helps tilt the motorcycle to the right and vice versa.
- Roads are slick when wet.
- Paint is a worse kind of slick, kind of like riding on oily glass. Be careful of trying to stop or slow when going across or along lines of paint that has gotten wet in rain.
- Practice clutch control in low gear. This helps not just when starting up from a stop but also when riding during rallies and in groups.
- Ride like you won't be seen because many people won't see you. Watch for people on phones, chatting or any other distraction. Be careful of cars getting ready to pull out. Also watch for pedestrians getting ready to cross a street, animals thinking about crossing the road and bicycle riders.
- People attending to to a motorcycle accident victim.
- If you are heavy? White leather can make you look like a marshmallow. Sigh.
- You own the lane you are riding in. don't make it easy for people to cut you off by staying only to the far right side. There is also more of a chance for debris to be along the side of the road.
- Practice riding in all kinds of weather. Learning to ride in rain or with a load when one has to succeed at it can be tough. Stopping can take a lot longer distance when one is hydroplaning along. Yes you can hydroplane on a motorcycle also.
- Pack your packs with the heavy weight items down low. When heavy weight is up high it can cause steering problems. This is a real problem if you have gotten in the habit of stopping without straightening your wheels out. You might want to consider taking less also. In Louisiana my bike made a huge hole in the parking lot when I forgot to put down the kickstand puck I used under my kickstand.
- There's a saying, "Drive for the slide, not for the ride." There is a huge debate about riding with ATGATT, which stands for "All the Gear, All the Time." Some ATGATT and some don't. Motorcyclists are all about choice and all are passionate about their decisions. What you wear and don't wear is a personal decision. I personally won't ride without gloves but others feel less or more is enough.
- Oil floats up when it first starts to rain, be careful but especially careful of riding in the middle of a lane. In the first few minutes of a rain storm it will be the most slick. If you are stopping at (or planning to stop at an intersection) be aware of puddles of oil. You not only don't want to stop on the oil puddles but oil puddles will make the bottom of your boots slick as well
- Stay in the mirror of the person in front of you. If you can't see them in the mirror, they also can't see you. Watch out for blind spots. This is true for cars, trucks, semis and vans, not just for big trucks or semis.
- Bugs hurt. They hurt a lot and come out especially at dusk. Fish flies are slick to ride on and taste terrible. Bees and wasps are a problem due to the ability they have to sting. They can get trapped under jackets and in sleeves. When trapped they sting.
- Practice dragging a bit on your back brake for better balance and control when riding slow.
- The best way to learn is to ride. And then ride some more.
- Braking with a packed bike (even if it is from a quick run to the grocery store) is different. The stopping time is longer and if the items aren't loaded well can contribute to a loss of control.
- Don't ride next to or behind a semi. Tires can pop and strew debris across the road. Things can come loose. Dirt may blow off into your eyes or into your face.
- If the light is yellow when you are coming up on it? Consider not stopping. Your decision always needs to depend upon conditions but cars may not see you sitting at that stop light. Some say to aim your bike between cars if you are sitting between them.
- Tires are different. Some are stickier than others. Stickier tires often wear out faster but hug the corners better. The type of tires on your motorcycle can make a huge difference it how it handles. Don't just buy the cheapest tire or the most expensive tire. Buy a tire according to the type of riding that you intend to do. Here is a Dunlop American Elite HD Touring Tire – Rear – 200/55R17 , Position: Rear, Tire Size: 200/55-17, Rim Size: 17, Load Rating: 78, Speed Rating: V, Tire Construction: Bias, Tire Type: Street, Tire Application: Touring 31AE-45 I like on our Honda cruiser. It's a good tire that is reasonably sticky by Dunlop. Don't let your tires ever get to look like this one. I use very soft tires Metzeler tires on the older GL 500I what we have.
- Never use a motorcycle tire worn enough to be very dangerous. Tires may be worn on the bottom in the middle and look great from the sides. This person was lucky terrible things didn't happen from a blowout.
- Just because you just bought the bike and the tires look new doesn't mean they are in great condition for riding. Look carefully for signs of dry rot or weathering. It's not just about the tread.
- When you fall off or get in a wreck? Get back on. When I got hit in 2008 on an interstate, I went back when I could and got that bike and got on it. I couldn't get up right away but when I could it was the first thing I did, arrange transportation to get it, load it and get on it. I've never, personally, regretted it.
- Always wear a belt. Keep an emergency kit in your luggage at all times. You may need both in an emergency. Belts can act as tourniquets and can hold on large pads to slow bleeding. An emergency kit like this one Motorcycle Operator First Aid Kit by Rescue Essentials means you have clean supplies available and don't have to use a dirty shirt. Keep the emergency kit handy and not buried. A waterproof emergency kit works best.
- Use good eye protection. Some swear by motorcycle goggles, some have trouble with them fogging up. Some use foam padded glasses. Others use regular tight fitting glasses. Whatever you use, make sure you can see clearly and that they cut the wind to your eyes. Dry eyes hurt.
These 30 tips for new motorcycle riders would have helped me a lot to know back 40 years ago when I first started riding a motorcycle.
