Former "Survivor" Richard Hatch was scheduled to be released from jail today, but will remain in jail for an additional nine days, Access Hollywood has learned.
"Rich was ordered to an additional 9 days as punishment for allegedly not having obtained the requisite permissions to conduct the Access Hollywood and NBC Channel 10 Providence on-camera interviews, or for calling in to a radio show the following day," Hatch's lawyer, Cynthia M. Ribas told Access.

"We still have proceedings pending that could change this but as things currently stand," she continued. "We expect Rich's release next Friday, October 16th."
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Richard was taken into custody in August by the Barnstable County Sheriff's Office. He was jailed after giving several television interviews to NBC's the "Today" show, NBC affiliate WJAR-TV and also to Access. According to Ribas, the Bureau of Prisons told her only the "Today" interview had been cleared and the others were thus a violation. Therefore Hatch would have to serve the remaining amount of his sentence in jail, rather than under house arrest.

He had previously been under house arrest following three-and-a-half years of incarceration for tax evasion.
Hatch has claimed the executive producers of "Survivor" told him they would pay the taxes on the $1 million he eventually took home for winning the show.

Before cancer, I was more practical and much less of a risk taker. I can blame chemo brain or a new found enthusiasm for life for putting me in my current situation.
I am moving out of my dream house so that I can live my dream. We have always wanted to live on the water and own our own business. Ever since moving to Michigan, I have wanted to be on the river across from Canada. This spring, we bought a place on the St. Clair River that is part of the system that connects Lake Erie to Lake Huron. We have freighters pass by our living room window daily - all very exciting!
The only setback is that the house is less than inviting. With my usual optimism, I moved in believing we could turn it into a palace. However, the fairy godmother has not shown up yet, and my family and I have been making do in a half-renovated house. I have learned that we are all in phases of our lives; my boys are teenagers, my husband a new business owner and I am without my usual energy. The transition phase has limited our desire to be part of this fairy tale.
The property came with a convenience/campers supply/party store in the form of a beautifully designed old style log cabin. It only needs an outside paint job. The store is 700 feet from the house at the road, so you can't see the house from the store and vice versa. I have been spending my off work hours helping out in our store, and my husband spends almost 16 hours a day there. It is fun, but we feel like we come home to something that isn't quite home yet. To top it all off, we have not even put our other house on the market because we are too busy. The bottom line is I now own two houses with no place to call home. But I can say that I am finally living my dream!
Have you found yourself more open to experiences after surviving cancer with more of a willingness to let go of the old comfort zone? Or are you clinging stronger to things that are more familiar? Am I the only one with a lapse in practicality?

Several Vancouver Whitecaps FC alums were back in action for their university teams on the weekend.
Midfielder/defender Amber Brooks is in contention for a prestigious award while Gagandeep Dosanjh (pictured) once again found the back of the net for UBC Thunderbirds.
2012 Whitecaps FC U-23 PDL team representative Navid Mashinchi clinched a 4-2 victory for the T-Birds against Fraser Valley Cascades in Chilliwack on Friday night. The Thunderbirds were trailing 1-0 early in the match but Dosanjh scored the equalizer in the 26th minute, which was his fourth goal of the season.
It was a fine outing for another member of this past summer's PDL team. University of Alberta defender Niko Saler provided an assist in the Golden Bears' comfortable 4-0 win over the University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves.
South of the border, fellow 'Caps alum Ben McKendry recorded the game-winning helper in University of New Mexico's 2-1 overtime result against UC Irvine. The freshman's corner was headed home to seal the win.
In cheesehead country, Declan Rodriguez was named to the 2012 Lakeside Classic All-Tournament Team after a pair of strong individual performances.
Two-time University of North Carolina captain and 2011 'Caps alum Brooks has been selected as a candidate for the 2012 Senior CLASS Awards in college soccer.
Missouri sophomore Abigail Raymer was another ex-Whitecaps FC player to provide a late game-winning assist on the weekend, which handed Mizzou a 1-0 win over South Carolina.
In CIS action, freshman goalkeeper Kayla Klim was between the posts in the second half of Fraser Valley Cascades' 7-0 defeat of UNBC Timerwolves.
On the island, the University of Victoria Vikes racked up their own emphatic 10-0 win over the Timberwolves. 'Caps alum Jaclyn Sawicki set up one of the goals when she found midfielder Lindsay Hoetzel.
Back south of the border, sophomore goalkeeper Gurveen Clair played 45 minutes and was credited with the win in Washington State's 2-0 triumph over Hawaii.
The Cougars picked up another three points a few days later when they beat Idaho 5-1. 2012 Whitecaps FC women's striker Brandi Vega got on the scoresheet for her fourth goal of the season.
Finally, after returning from the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, striker Jenna Richardson spoke with Oregon State about her experience on the world stage.

Ludwig van BeethovenBorn 17 December 1770. Died 26 March 1827
Ludwig van Beethoven Biography (BBC)
The popular image of Beethoven as a morose individual who shunned society is only partly true. He did have a serious outlook on life, and in later years he had difficulty mixing with people because of his deafness, which emerged in his late twenties and gradually increased thereafter till his death. Yet he loved company, and had a ready wit. His letters contain many puns, and it was he who introduced the scherzo (literally, 'joke') into the symphony when he used one in his Symphony No. 2 instead of the customary minuet.
This Second Symphony already goes well beyond the models of Haydn and Mozart, the two chief influences on his style. Building on their example Beethoven continually strove to stretch the bounds of music to new limits, whether in his seven surviving concertos, 16 string quartets, 35 piano sonatas (including three very early ones) or other works.
Each of his nine symphonies (and an incipient tenth) is completely different from any previous one, and he showed similar originality in every major genre of the time, from his only opera Fidelio and his mighty Missa solemnis to his numerous settings of folk songs, which he treated in an entirely novel way. He achieved his goal through a combination of natural genius and sheer hard work: every one of his major compositions is the result of painstaking refinement, evident in the many thousands of pages of musical sketches that he wrote.
It is not always realised, however, that Beethoven was extraordinary in other ways too. Having no wife or family of his own, he spent enormous energy on helping his nephew, and he was deeply religious. Indeed his goodness and kindness were so evident to his contemporaries that at least three of them independently asserted that he was even greater as a human being than as a musician. Considering that many regard him as the greatest composer in history, such praise is astonishing.
Beethoven also responded strikingly to political upheavals – the French Revolution and the ensuing Napoleonic wars. Although no political activist, he made his hatred of tyranny very plain in works such as Fidelio and his music for Goethe's play Egmont.
Yet it is the quality of his music that has ensured his lasting reputation. Although its novelty initially puzzled some of his contemporaries, repeated hearings and study have shown that it is based on firm foundations. Its combination of beauty and unpredictability, extreme emotional depth and intellectual rigour, across so many genres, is unsurpassed and probably always will be.

Knife turns shoplifting into aggravated robbery
Police say a Beaumont woman is in custody after she slashed a JC Penny's employee while attempting to flee the Parkdale Mall store with stolen property.
On Wednesday, April 10, at approximately 6:17 p.m., police responded to the store to find the woman already in custody, a BPD press release said.
According to the press release, Brittany Sandoval, 23, of Beaumont was seen taking several items from the department store before attempting to leave. When Sandoval was stopped by loss prevention employees, she pulled a knife, slashing at least one employee in an attempt to get away. One employee was cut during the disturbance.
A federal law enforcement officer saw the disturbance and stepped in to help the employees. When the officer drew his/her weapon, Sandoval quickly dropped her knife and the officer was able to place her in custody, the press release said.
Sandoval was booked in the Jefferson County Jail on charges of aggravated robbery.
No other injuries were reported.

DENVER Colorados largest public television service is merging with a public radio station and a nonprofit investigative reporting organization.
The Denver Post reported Wednesday (http://tinyurl.com/aubcwg4 ) that Rocky Mountain PBS, KUVO and I-News will share resources for news-gathering and other functions.
The agreement formalizes existing partnerships between the public television service and the other groups.
Rocky Mountain PBS has more than 55,000 members and broadcasts on five stations across the state, according to its website. It says it has more than 900,000 viewers weekly in Colorado and surrounding states.
Denver-based KUVO broadcasts jazz, Latin jazz and blues on three frequencies in the Denver area, Summit County and southeastern Wyoming. Its website says it reaches 120,000 listeners weekly.
I-News has worked with other media outlets to report on pharmaceutical company payments to doctors, sexual assault on university campuses and other stories.
The partnership is expected to produce three to five in-depth journalism projects each year, said Doug Price, president and CEO of Rocky Mountain PBS.
The TV service will get access to the states growing Hispanic population through KUVO and to I-News reporters. KUVO will benefit from the TV services business skills. I-News can benefit from Rocky Mountain PBS existing organization so it can focus on journalism rather than a business model.
Price said the merger would not result in layoffs.

Americans gathering in Washinton DC, calling, and praying to stop ObamaCare
Some hearty Americans are not giving up the fight though; they are gathering in Washington DC this weekend to protest ObamaCare. Actor Jon Voight, Minnesota Representative Michelle Bachmann (among others), along with the American Grassroots Coalition are planning a rally on Saturday. Obviously, not all of us are able to pack up and go, but more power to them.
There are pleas to call the Democrat Representatives who are still undecided. Code Red has a list. If you have tried to call, you know the Capitol switchboard is being flooded with calls. Lots of people call, but there are many more who don't because it is too much hassle or they can't get through.
But there is one more thing everyone can do, if they want to, and that is pray. Pro-Life groups of course have requested prayer, so have secular conservative talk show hosts, but there was even a prayer request from a very unexpected source: a Democrat blog!
Yes, it is true. The Democrat HillBuz duo went to church this week to ask for Divine intervention against ObamaCare, and they are begging readers to pray:
"If it doesn't offend you to ask this, please pray for America tonight. Ask your friends to pray, too. Tomorrow, light some candles* in your churches and ask the little old ladies in there to pray for our nation too.
We're in trouble, people.
Deep trouble.
Worse than this nation has ever faced, because those who want to do America harm are not in Berlin and Tokyo, but in Washington itself.
They must be stopped.
We must pray that everyone has the strength collectively to form the Resistance needed to do that.
Please pray for our nation.
We truly beg of you.
Please pray we all have the strength to do our part to stop this madness."
I find it touching that these 2 men, who are no longer religious, realized righting what is going on in our nation requires God's help. So they returned to their early religious roots and prayed. And they didn't stop there; they are imploring their readers to do the same.
Like the HillBuzz duo, I too ask that people pray. I am praying for resolve for those Representatives who are opposed to ObamaCare and for a change of heart for those who support it. I am praying for God's forgiveness and mercy on our nation, that we be spared this legislation and that we return to our Judeo/Christian roots.
*Lighting candles for prayer is a Catholic teaching.

Mr. Steinbacher's work has truly been in an inspiration to me, along with everyone else in the Thunderbolts sphere. In the interest of continuing what he started, I believe he stumbled across an electrical phenomenon that could be quite helpful to archaeology.
How familiar are you folks with Michael's 2011 experiments where he created basalt with electricity?
External Basalt EUG page: http://www.eu-geology.com/?page_id=211
The experiment in question: http://www.eu-geology.com/?attachment_id=214
I'm beginning to think his experiments may hold the key to determining the validity of some of the more outlandish (and not so outlandish) theories about early civilizations. I'll be happy to migrate this to a more appropriate section of the forum, but I may need those familiar with the research on this thread to come with.

Why are the Swedes so dumb?
Texting whilst driving now legal

An absolutely mental decision today. Effing crazy.
Who are the government kidding?
Not only do they allow the use of mobile phones whilst driving they then commission a report to see if texting whilst driving is dangerous. The rest of the world already know the answer. The question is as easy to answer as "Does radiation kill? or "Can you cross the channel in a boat?".
Not only have traffic shows like Top Gear and Fifth Gear shown how dangerous it is, even The Mythbusters proved it beyond doubt.
But this is not good enough for the plebs in Sweden who carried out the report. They refused to look at the overwhelming evidence and decided it is perfectly okay to text whilst driving!!!!!!!!!!!
When the children of these report writers and politicians are killed by texting drivers I will feel sad for the children but hope that their own parents will feel responsible and someone sensible will do them for manslaughter.
Sweden is now the only country in the civilised world to allow phoning and texting whilst driving.
Nobody here can possible agree that its okay text whilst driving? Surely not?

A 2010 experiment with Car and Driver magazine editor Eddie Alterman that took place at a deserted air strip showed that texting while driving had a greater impact on safety than driving drunk. While legally drunk, Alterman's stopping distance from 70 mph increased by 4 feet; by contrast, reading an e-mail added 36 feet, and sending a text added 70 feet.
There are hundreds of links that prove that texting whilst driving makes driving 23 times more dangerours.
Conclusion: Swedes (the lawmakers) are dumb! One must wonder about the people of Sweden who can vote for such politicians and allow this law without a revolt.

I agree its a terrible law, and as a citizen I am appalled that the government allows such.
Shame on you Sweden.

I just saw a TV advert for Halebop, I think, were a car load are traveling along and the driver starts texting and his mate asks him not to do so while driving an the driver pulls over...simple, seems even the phone companies know the dangers of using a phone while driving...but as I found out recently many folk on here don´t want a law banning the dangerous practise brought in...because they read a report blah, blah, blah!

What law and/or report are you talking about? If it`s the report that was reported on TL news site and discussed on this forum a few months ago then I think you are ways off. The report stated that it found that educating drivers would work better then having a ban that noone follows. That`s what the report found, that a ban didn`t work and people would still use phones while driving. It doesn`t make it legal though, it falls under reckless driving. You shouldn`t be so quick to call an entire country`s population dumb. Especially not when it comes to traffic safety considering Sweden has one of the lowest death rates when it comes to traffic related deaths.

The idea of legalising such a law, and those who advocate such.
Reminds me of the arguments we are seeing presented by some Americans regarding gun controll.
And then I started thinking, could this be an ethnicity trait?
Imagine if it was mostly middle America that was anti gun controll.
And the many of those who are from such middle America had Swedish origins.
Could this be a situation of same people, different place?

Well the last time I was here discussing driving and using phones, those that didn´t want a law brought in here in Sweden pointed to reports carried out in the USA of how (some)drivers still use their phones while driving even though it´s banned...well it seems in the USA they shoot little kids dead and that is also against the law and they won´t ban guns, I know we can`t compare, shooting kids to driving and using a phone, same as we can`t compare Sweden to America.
A ban along with a few more adverts like the one I mentioned already would have an effect on the driving practises in Sweden, some times folk just have to hear it from their government before they take notice!

The law I mean is the one announced today.
Inget förbud mot sms under bilkörning
"Förbud löser inte problemet" Det blir inget sms-förbud vid bilkörning. Det meddelar regeringen i en skrivelse till riksdagen, uppger SR:s Ekot.
No ban on texting whilst driving:
"Bans solve no problems" - There will be no ban. The goverment told the parliament today according to the Swedish Radio's news service.
Do the rest with Google Translate if you want it and don't understand Swedish.
I found out I had a mutal Facebook friend with the Goverment Minister. I have written to her (the minister) tonight and await her answer.
As drinking whilst driving is less dangerous than texting whilst driving one presume they will now remove the ban on drink-driving. Not!

Thanks for the link. It says that there won`t be a new law because the ban will be implemented under the reckless driving law. So the Swedes aren`t dumb.

In another thread I spoke out very strongly against testing or phoning whilst driving. Needless to say I was told that to have a law against it was unnecessary as it was already covered. But my point was that the powers that be siad it was not dangerous. The attached screenshots are from 'Traffic Cops' on Sky, and cover an episode named very appropriately 'Fatal Distraction' in which the young female driver of a car - stationary in a line of traffic on a motorway - was caught between a non-stop 70mph 7-ton lorry and two cars ahead of her. I have the whole programme recorded, and would very múch like to send copies to suitable recipients, if anyone cares to give me some names, because I do feel VERY strongly that by saying it is not that dangerous, the heads of state are sending out the wrong signals.
Take a look at these two stills I made from the TV screen and see if you can tell me the make and model of the poor young girl's car. It is the one immediately in front of the lorry.
Need i add that the driver of the lorry was attempting to text, with his mobile in a clip on the dashboard. And yes, after much ado, he finally admitted to texting and was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving.

Would having a law banning the use of mobile phones put greater strain on the police force in regards to having to stop and charge anyone caught doing so?
Whereas this dangerous driving coverage gives greater leeway, and is under the discretion of the police as they see fit?

Byke - my point is the message coming down from the top - namely that texting or phoning isn't dangerous, when we know full well that it is.
OK if it can be punished under existing laws then so be it, but as long as those who are in power send out the wrong signals, nobody will give a toss. That is perhaps until something like the scenes I have shown happen on Swedish roads. But why wait until it does - that is my standpoint, and will remain so.

Here is this myth again that was talked about in the previous thread. Where do you get this idea from? The ones behind the report and the ones in charge aren`t saying that using a phone while driving isn`t dangerous, they are saying that a ban won`t stop people from doing it. It`s obvious they recognize the dangers otherwise they wouldn`t have implement it into an existing law, trying to educate drivers and use researchers to look into the issue.

All I see from people on this forum is excuses for the powers that be. You are no less such. I can only hope that you don't get into the position of the late young lady in the car I have shown.
Drive safely - but keep of the bloody phone. An try to be a bit more positive regarding the attitude of not texting or phoning.

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. – The Bridgewater State University football team withstood a furious Endicott College fourth quarter rally as the host Bears downed the Gulls, 20-14, in a New England Football Conference (NEFC) non-divisional matchup on Saturday afternoon at Swenson Field.
Bridgewater is 3-0 to start a season for the first time since the 2005 campaign. Endicott falls to 2-1 with the loss. The game marked the first time that the two teams had ever met.
BSU junior quarterback Mike McCarthy (Edgartown, Mass.) led the way offensively for the hosts as he rushed for 149 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 20 carries while also completing 5 of 11 passes for 45 yards.
Sophomore tailback Blaise Branch (Brockton, Mass.) added 109 yards on the ground on 19 carries for the Bears.
Bridgewater took a 14-0 lead into the intermission on the strength of a pair of first quarter Jarred Diorio field goals (35 yds, 26 yds) and McCarthy's two-yard TD run which capped off a 15 play, 78-yard drive with 6:40 remaining in the second quarter.
Endicott had a couple of opportunities to score in the opening half but a 39-yard field goal attempt went wide left and a 25-yard try hit the right upright.
The Gulls also put together a 13-play, 60-yard drive in the third quarter, but BSU senior cornerback Brian Smith (Lowell, Mass.) put an end to the threat with an interception in the end zone. The Bears took over on the 20 and marched 80 yards on nine plays with McCarthy scoring on a 31-yard run. The extra point was blocked as Bridgewater led 20-0 with 4:21 remaining in the period.
Endicott was finally able to crack the scoreboard with 12:41 left in the fourth quarter as the Gulls moved the ball 76 yards on 13 plays with sophomore quarterback Drew Frenette (New Bedford, Mass.) hooking up with freshman tight end Greg Dellorco (Franklin, Mass.) on a 12-yard touchdown pass on fourth and two.
After a poor BSU punt on the ensuing possession, the Gulls took just a minute and 19 seconds to move the ball 76 yards with Frenette hitting Dellorco down the middle of the field for a 25-yard touchdown to cut the deficit to 20-14.
Endicott then forced a three and out and also blocked the punt to take over on the Bridgewater 32 with 6:59 remaining. A pair of two-yard runs sandwiched around an incomplete pass set up a fourth and six from the 28. Frenette hit senior receiver Jimmy Nguyen (Methuen, Mass.) with a short completion but BSU senior linebacker Justin Cruz (Dartmouth, Mass.) stopped the play well short of the first down as the Bears took over with 5:20 left to play.
Bridgewater would string together a nine-play, 67-yard drive to run out the clock and secure the win. The drive was highlighted by runs of 26 and 15 yards by Branch. The 15-yard scamper came on third and 11 from midfield.
The Bridgewater offense finished with 307 yards on the ground and 352 yards of total offense. The Bears did not turn the ball over against an Endicott defense which had forced 13 turnovers over the first two games of the season.
The BSU defense was led by sophomore linebacker David Silvia (Barrington, R.I.) who notched a game-high 11 tackles (nine solo) including two for loss. Junior safety Dillon Huber-Parker (Longmont, Colo.) registered ten tackles (seven solo), while Cruz finished with seven stop with a sack, forced fumble and a pass breakup. BSU junior safety Eddie Jewel (Amherst, Mass.) recorded his second interception in as many weeks and also notched four tackles including one for loss.
Offensively for Endicott, Frenette completed 27 of 35 passes for 219 yards and two scores but was also intercepted twice. Sophomore receiver Nate Lewis (Acushnet, Mass.) caught eight balls for 60 yards while Nguyen finished with seven catches for 65 yards. Senior running back Mike Wheeler (Hanover, Mass.) rushed for 64 yards on 12 carries and classmate Jared DiBiase (Cranston, R.I.) added 61 yards on the ground on 15 attempts.
Junior defensive lineman Marcell Cooper (Dorchester, Mass.) paced the Gulls defense with 11 tackles (nine solo) with one for loss. Junior defensive back Davas Wright (Fall River, Mass.) added eight stops.
NEFC divisional play begins next week for both teams. Bridgewater hosts Bogan Division rival Framingham State University on Friday night at seven, while Endicott travels to Boyd Division foe Salve Regina University next Saturday afternoon at one.

Mobile Java Security
Dependability for Java Mobile Code - Pierre Parrend
The recent increase of connected handheld devices, through which the users access to the Internet and communicate with others, introduces a major programming model shift: applications are not only provided in a classical client-server fashion, but can also be loaded as mobile code on the end device. Consequently, new security threats arise: Malicious code can be hidden in the loaded code, and executed inside the device. A new approach to security is thus necessary: Dependability must be guaranteed, i.e. both usual security properties (Authentication, Integrity, Confidentiality) and robustness, so as to explicitly prevent DoS attacks.
The state of the art of security for Java Mobile Code (MIDP and OSGi) is presented, as well as our research work on dependability in the context of the OSGi Platform.
This presentation is the support for a talk that has been given for the OWASP Switzerland Local Chapter, the 24th of July, 2007.

In late 1999, Chris Hatherly and myself were on the fringe of Russia's north-west contemplating our decision to ride together Across Russia to Beijing. We were 20 years old, had abandoned our university degrees and had met each other for the first time in over a year. Ahead lay the forests of Siberia, the Gobi desert of Mongolia and the far away land of China.
All in all, we knew the temperatures would drop to at least -40 below in winter, and had been told about the terrible mosquitoes of Summer. However the details were very few and far between. We approximated that it would take 12-18 months, and on that basis had a budget of around $3 (Australian) a day. A sense of overewhelming uncertainty washed over me: I had never ridden a 'recumbent bike' before, and had no idea whether we had bitten off more than we could chew. Fourteen months and 10,000km later we rolled onto Tiananmen square. In the time since we had departed the small city of Petrozavodsk we had endured frostbite, pushed 1000km along the world's most remote railway, gritted ourselves through the Gobi and even been arrested in China. However, above all of this we had also met countless people and been priveleged to gain insight into the fabric of their lives and country. There was Baba Galya who had taken us in for 10 days after frostbite, the Chuginovs in Siberia who had repaired a smashed hub for us, and the nomads of Mongolia who invited us into their mobile homes with open arms.
Despite many conflicts, Chris and I had also settled into camp every night realising that we were living this dream and not just talking about it over a beer.

Making Tracks
10,000km in 14 months, Russia, Siberia, Mongolia, China
By Chris Hatherly and Tim Cope for Australian Geographic 2000
"Chris, what do I do!" Tim was visibly in a panic. A bowl of rich mushroom soup lay steaming on the table, but the first indoor meal in a week was clearly far from his mind. Nudging me, he pointed under the table where an enormous purple bubble protruded from his right toe. The other big toe was white and equally bulbous. The old lady who had taken us in for the meal leant across the table suddenly concerned. "What's the matter?…….show me!……ITS FROSTBITE!" she shrieked. Moments later we were storming down the village street with our heads bowed into the gusts of snow. We barged our way into the rickety wooden doctor's clinic and were dragged past a queue of startled patients rugged up in their winter furs: "Make way! Australians coming through!" The Dagestani doctor was quick to gather himself after the initial shock. Through a narrow gap in the door, I watched Tim lying on a cracked vinyl bench as he lunged for the pocket dictionary, no doubt looking for words like "numb, painkillers, 'will it hurt?" "Are you going to read?" asked the doctor in amusement as he sterilized some scissors and wiped the suspect toes with disinfectant. By the time Tim found his page, the doctor was slicing away at the end of a toe…. Only a few hours before, we had broken camp in subzero temperatures as we reveled in the first snow of Winter. Now I sat in an antiquated surgery, feeling slightly dizzy and trying to comprehend this abrupt turn in our journey. I reflected on the week past: temperatures that had plunged to –20?C; melting water from iceblocks hacked from frozen roadside ditches; and the regular roadside 'cold feet dance' we had developed. I had never imagined that it would come to this and wondered just how many challenges lay ahead. We had covered just 900km, and were only two weeks into our 14 month, 10,000km Trans-Siberian bicycle expedition. The journey began in earnest on my 21st birthday, the 25th September 1999. After almost a year of organising, staying in touch purely by email, and five months cycling from London, I finally rolled up in Moscow to meet Tim. Best friends during a short acquaintance at University, we'd laid down the rough outline of the journey on the summit of Canberra's Black Mountain the night before Tim left to study in Finland and Russia. Frostbite, although traumatic was a fitting introduction to Russian hospitality. We were embraced by "Mama Tanya," sister, "Elena," and grandmother "Baba Galya", the incredible old lady who'd first taken us in.
Their original observation when we'd first met had been uncannily accurate: "Deary me! Poor boys, you must be so cold and hungry!" In the end, we spent 10 days in the village of Babushkina and soon got to know many of the locals. Between daily visits to the doctor and giving kids a go on our bikes, most of our time was spent at the table being served generous helpings of pancakes, fried potato, fish pies, and of course the complimentary Vodka. Seven months later we were sitting in a ditch by the side of the world's most isolated railway. It was raining, the mosquitoes were maintaining a constant onslaught and we were trying to transform our bikes into pedal powered trains using fresh cut saplings and a handful of hoseclamps. We were attempting to cycle over a thousand kilometres along the remote BAM railway to the top of Lake Baikal. The muddy, potholed service track became steadily worse to the point where we were averaging less than 1km/h and decided on the different approach. We spent 8 hours perching our bikes on the thin metal strips trying to work out a system that would let us ride on the rails. In the end however the 60kgs of bike and gear proved too heavy for the makeshift framework, and difficult to haul off in a rush as the trains came roaring through. Wet, cold and exhausted we started pushing…. We had returned to Babushkina after winter, and the first weeks of cycling that followed were some of the hardest. Making camp in itself was an epic. An exhausting hour hauling the bikes into the forest through 1m of snow before collecting and chopping firewood, then digging out a place for our open forest tent. At one stage, after constant warnings from locals, a section of road disappeared altogether, giving way to a slushy trench in the snow. For 12kms we struggled through waist deep puddles of melting snow the size of small swimming pools. Over the two days that this took us, we became, undoubtedly, the first people ever to push recumbent bicycles between the villages of 'Luptyug' and 'Klutchee'. The snow melted, summer arrived and we bore witness to a magical transformation in Russia's landscape and people. We crossed the Ural Mountains into Siberia, daylight extended to 20 hours/day and the mosquitoes multiplied into millions. Sometimes we would cycle together talking of anything and everything. Other times we would ride 5 or 10kms apart, meeting up for lunch then again at the end of the day. Twice we lost each other along the road towards evening, meeting up again the next day with good humour and stories of the adventures of an unexpected night alone (I had the only billies, but Tim had all the dinner food!) We left the main route often, detouring along dirt tracks for hundreds of kilometres and passing through tiny untouched villages. Often we were the first westerners ever to visit, and were invariably received first with astonishment and bewilderment then with amazing warmth and hospitality. We met thousands of different people and stayed with dozens of families: from the poorest villagers living purely by subsistence to rich 'New-Russian' businessmen. Travelling as we were we seemed able to relate to almost everyone we met. Despite the stereotypes and warnings about conditions in Russia we never once found ourselves in a seriously dangerous situation. Twice during the trip we separated to spend a week or so riding alone. This gave us a chance to experience the country and the people from a different perspective and to clear the air of all the minor disagreements and frustrations between us. We were plagued by bike problems – the heavy load and rough roads causing numerous breakdowns. Despairing on the roadside with a collapsed rear hub, we were rescued by the Chuginovs, a family of Jehovah's Witnesses from the tiny village of Kvitok in central Siberia who cheerfully tooled up a new hub on a homemade lathe. This family became an icon for us, epitomizing the down-to-earth generosity, creativity and ability to improvise that are part of Russian culture. In early September 2000, after 11 months in Russia we crossed into Mongolia. "C'mon, we're running out of cow pats!" I yelled scampering up the hill and scanning the earth for the dry biscuits that could be found scattered across the steppe. After a prolonged life running on Russian diesel, our MSR stove had coughed, spluttered and died. Forced to use the system that Mongolians have been using for centuries- burning dried animal dung- it appeared we were going to be feasting on uncooked borsche.
As the sun dipped below the flat horizon the desert air was immediately rendered freezing. I returned to camp, unloading the 'firewood' from my coat pockets. Even in the dim light that glowed from our crude campfire, I could make out Tim's smile – a replica of my own. We were 18 days into the Gobi desert, less than 300km from the Chinese border and fast approaching our 'longest period without washing' record. With just a 1:2million "Mongolian Tourist Map" we had been following the compass, meandering along with sandy wheel tracks that wound haplessly over mountains and flats. After reaching the capital, Ulaan Baatar we continued south. The further we rode, the more simple life became. There was only the unblemished expanse of green and brown, camp in the evenings and cycling during the day. The vast plateau with its nomadic people was the ideal chance to reflect on the journey, and to begin thinking about the transition back to life "off the bike" in Australia. Attempting to re-start our cow-pat fire, it occurred to me that Mongolia in essence was an experience of two extremes. In a muse, riding to the horizon, the unending, treeless landscape held a dreamlike quality. This feeling numbed the legs, and induced a lost sense of time and distance. With the jaws of another winter approaching however, the isolation and challenge of the Gobi desert held an ever-present sense of uncertainty that kept us constantly on our toes. The greatest desperation came 130km from the Chinese border. We'd been pushing and riding for 20 days when the unused wheel tracks we'd chosen that morning abruptly became deep, soft sand. After the first 200m, I lay collapsed over my bike: Tim panted: "You know Chris, at 1km an hour, that's about, well, 130 hours to the border!….And we only have enough water and food supplies for another day!" The following morning we rose before dawn, and soon – our prayers answered – the road improved. With the Chinese border on the horizon, we guzzled down our last litre of water. 9,200km peddled, 800 to go! China was the country we knew least about. Secretly I'd dreamt of crossing the border to find a smooth bitumen road and a sign pointing to Beijing. The reality, however, was more in tune with the rest of the adventure and started with the discovery that it was illegal for foreigners to travel by bicycle. With a photocopied corner of an atlas we eventually smuggled our bikes across the border in the back of a taxi. Then, to our dismay the bitumen soon disintegrated into dusty wheel tracks reminiscent of our Mongolian woes. The odds against us seemed unrelenting. I thought back over the snow, the cold, the railway, the desert, and the breakdowns. Now with Beijing just 500km away, arriving successfully was still uncertain. I was sure of one thing though; that if we succeeded, anything and everything was possible. Two weeks later, we were pushing our bikes into an Apple orchard on the outskirts of Beijing. During this time, we'd spent two days under arrested and struggled to maintain our worn out bikes. We set up camp and cooked together for the last time. In the morning we rode in amongst the busy traffic. Coming to a halt at a red light I noticed a European amongst the crowd on the crossing. He almost stumbled over usbefore noticing our strange bikes. "Hello" he said in a thick English accent. "Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to Tiananmen Square" Tim asked. "Sure, just go straight ahead, take a left and then the next right." Soon we were pushing our bikes into Beijing's majestic centre. Suddenly I felt an abrupt sense of loss. The adventure had come to an end. There was the sense that a long fought for dream had been achieved. An overwhelming euphoria. Elation. I turned to Tim "That's it, that two years, finished…unbelievable!"

This morning, the official Tapatalk client for Windows Phone (both 7.x and 8; optimized for WP8) has been released to the Store and is now available as part of an early-access program for enthusiast users.
Tapatalk is the leading standard for discussion forums, allowing users a common system by which to access and utilize internet communities. Official apps have been available on iOS and Android for some time but today, Windows Phone users finally get their due with an app built from the ground-up.
Windows Phone Central readers were treated to our sneak peek of the app a few weeks ago, where we noted that the app was close to release having been in a private beta.
App description
Not familiar with Tapatalk? Here's what it's all about:
"Discover great internet communities or stay connected with your favourites community on-the-go with this award-winning mobile app, now for Windows Phone. Tapatalk is the only mobile app combing over 60,000+ internet communities with a streamlined mobile experience, allowing you to share and follow thoughts and opinions to all your communities within a single app.
Tapatalk aggregates content from network of communities of common interests, from automotive to parenting, from gardening to horse-riding - You will meet passionate people who share the same interest and participate in great discussions on topic only you and the like-minded members truly appreciated.Download Tapatalk today to see a native community experience on Windows Phone. Special Thanks to Microsoft to donate devices and provide technical support in building this application. Tapatalk acquired Foroplex and this app is a product of both the Tapatalk team and the original Foroplex developer Jagoba Los Arcos from Spain."
Early access and an introductory price - $2.99
The app is being made available slightly ahead of schedule and will cost $2.99. While that seems expensive, the app will go FREE after one month (in addition, trial should be added too).
The developers are doing this for a few reasons, none of which are to hoodwink Windows Phone users:
- Larger base of dedicated users who can provide feedback
- Gives the developers some breathing room to fix bugs, tidy issues up, before it goes wide-release
- Consider it donation-ware/support to the developers for their hard work
Indeed, being a part of the beta and seeing the intricacies involved with testing (quick: think of how many sites you know have support forums—now imagine getting them all to work within one client), we can vouch for the developers who put a tremendous effort into the app, resulting in a solid representation for Windows Phone.
Of course if you are a casual user, than paying $2.99 is probably not an option and that's fine—this is being made for the "forum junkies" who want early access and a chance to test out the app before everyday folk get their hands on it.
Tapatalk – Windows Phone 7.x or 8 – 2 MB - $2.99 – Store Link
Stay tuned to Windows Phone Central for when the app goes "GOLD" and drops in price!

Sept. 23, 2009
Proven road warriors, Santa Clara will continue its time away from the Leavey Center this weekend when it travels to the City of Brotherly Love to play in three matches in about 27 hours at the Holiday Inn HD Tournament at the Palestra. When the Broncos return home on Oct. 15 to play Portland they will have played 16 of their first 18 matches on the road.
At the tournament hosted by Penn, Santa Clara, 8-4, will play Albany at 9 am on Fri., Sept. 25 and then host Penn at 4 pm later Friday afternoon. On Sat., Sept. 26, Santa Clara will conclude play with a 9 am match vs. St. Francis of Penn.
SCU is 1-0 vs. Penn with the only match between the two schools, a 3-0 Bronco win, dating back to Oct. 13, 1990. Santa Clara will play Saint Francis and Albany for the first time in school history. For more information on this weekend's three opponents, see page 2.
Santa Clara, winners of five WCC titles, including the 2005 and '07 crowns, was picked fourth in the 2009 West Coast Conference coaches' preseason poll in early August. USD was picked as the preseason champion with Pepperdine and Saint Mary's picking up second and third place honors.
The Bronocs will open West Coast Conference play with their first three matches on the road. The Broncos will play at USF on Fri., Oct. 2 at 7 pm, then at Saint Mary's on Thurs., Oct. 8 at 7 pm and finally at preseason conference favorite San Diego on Sat., Oct. 10 at 7 pm.
Santa Clara, which was tabbed as No. 25 in the AVCA final poll, was fourth in the WCC last season. The Broncos were the only one of the five WCC teams to advance to the NCAA Tournament second round in 2008 with a 3-2 win over then-No. 14 Kansas State before falling at Washington 3-0. The Huskies advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals and finished the year with a No. 5 ranking.
Santa Clara collected a 3-1 record last week, falling 3-1 at Santa Barbara before posting a 3-0 record at the Cal Poly Tournament with a 3-1 win over Idaho, a 3-1 win over Cal Poly and a 3-0 win over Seattle. The Broncos were led by Dana Knudsen, who hit. 400 on the week with 2.2 kpg and .53 bpg. Knudsen hit .500 with 11 kills in the win over host-Cal Poly.
Santa Clara, which features 11 underclassmen, is led by senior Lindsy Davigeadono, who is hitting .217 with 2.4 kpg and 1.0 bpg; and junior Krista Kelley, who is hitting .251 with 3.6 kpg and 2.4 dpg. In addition, sophomore Tanya Schmidt is hitting .319 with 1.5 kpg and .9 bpg.
Santa Clara runs the 6-2 offense with junior transfer Emily Burke and freshman Alexandra Palmer splitting up playing time. Burke averages 7.2 apg and is hitting .308 with 1.6 dpg. Palmer collected 6.0 apg and has 1.5 dpg.
Knudsen, who is hitting .347 with 1.5 kpg, is one of eight freshmen contributing this season. Freshman Katherine Douglas is hitting .143, but collects 2.6 kpg and 2.4 dpg. Another first year player, Lexi Williamson, is hitting .278 with 1.9 kpg. Diaper dandies Sam Peters (.692 with 2.3 kpg in 9 games) and Kayla Lommori (.182 with 1.3 kpg and .5 bpg) also contribute.
On the season the Broncos have four losses, including three to top 25 teams: 3-0 to then-No. 9 UCLA, 3-1 at then-No. 7 Hawaii and 3-0 vs. then-No. 25 Arizona.
Santa Clara has been to 11 straight NCAA Tournaments, including the 2005 Final Four, when the Broncos finished with a No. 4 ranking nationally. Santa Clara has won five WCC titles, including the 2005 and '07 crowns.
Jon Wallace, with 221 careers wins and 87 All-WCC selections, is in his 11th year as the head coach of the Broncos and was the 2005 National Coah of the Year. Prior to his time on the Mission Campus, he was an assistant coach at Pepperdine for seven years. He was team captain of the UC Santa Barbara men's volleyball twice while in college, collecting All-American honors in 1989.
* Krista Kelley was named to the Hawaii Invitational All-Tournament team, the MVP of the Sac State Invitational and to the SCU Invitational All-Tournament team.
* Katherine Douglas was named to the Sac State Invitational All-Tournament team.
* Emily Burke was named to the Sac State Invitational All-Tournament team.
* Lindsy Davigeadono was named to the SCU Invitational All-Tournament team and to the Cal Poly Invitational All-Tournament team.
* Dana Knudsen was named to the Cal Poly Invitational All-Tournament team.
Penn is 8-2 this season and comes into its own tournament after losing 3-0 to George Washington on Sept. 19. Penn is hitting .187 this season and its competition is hitting .001 less at .186
Freshman Lauren Martin was named the Ivy League Freshman of the Week this week. Martin was a model of consistency for the Red and Blue, while helping the team to a 2-1 record at the Towson Invitational. The first year recorded double-digit kills in each of her three matches over the weekend, totaling 37 kills (3.08) while hitting a team-high .290. For her efforts, she was named to the all-tournament team. In a four-set win over Ball State, the freshman had 13 kills, three digs and two total blocks in Penn's four-set win.
Albany is 5-8 this season and if fresh off upsetting host-Virginia at the Marriott Cavalier Invitational last weekend. Casey Wright recorded a 11 kills in a 3-0 win over Virginia to close out the Marriot Cavalier Invitational. The Great Danes defeated the host Cavaliers with scores of 25-21, 25-20 and 25-16 in the final match of the tournament. Wright led UAlbany in the early match as well, with a career-high 14 kills in a 3-1 loss to Virginia Tech. The Hokies won with scores of 25-14, 20-25, 25-20 and 25-10.
Albany is led by Valerie Sourberr, who is hitting .229 with a team-leading 2.9 kpg. Hillary White is collects 2.8 kpg, hitting .244.
St. Francis
St. Francis enters the tournament at 2-10 this season. The Red Flash were thrown in the fire again last week, taking on the top-ranked and two-time reigning national champion Penn State, as well as the dangerous Temple Owls. The Red Flash fell 3-1 to Temple and though they battled against the Nittany Lions, a team that has not even given up a set in 2009, they fell 3-0 to the Lions.
The Red Flash have gotten off to a slow start. However, a look at their schedule may provide an explanation. The Red Flash non-conference opponents have a combined 110-80 record as of September 22, including one undefeated team (Penn State, the two-time reigning NCAA Champions and current #1) and seven other teams with at least eight wins. Coach Mullen is hoping the difficult schedule will pay dividends in Northeast Conference play.

Three people were arrested after a drug raid at a residence in the Claxton community.
Three people were arrested after a drug raid at a residence in the Claxton community.
Investigators with the Special Operations Unit of the Anderson County Sheriff's Department had obtained a search warrant for a residence at 105 Wells Road after an investigation into illegal drug activity at the location.
Dale Lee Cory Burbank, 24, of 105 Wells Road, which is listed as a Powell mailing address, Timothy Sean Lipps, 22, of Jacksboro, and Macy Adrian Ellison, 18, of LaFollette, were arrested in the Thursday raid, according to a news release issued Monday by the Sheriff's Department. All three were charged with the manufacture, delivery, sales, and possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and criminal conspiracy.
The release said that Lipps was also charged with possession of Schedule VI drugs, and Ellison was also charged with simple possession or casual exchange. All three were booked in the jail and have been released on bond.
About four pounds of marijuana, along with hashish and suspected prescription narcotics were found, as well as numerous items of drug paraphernalia, according to the Sheriff's Department release. Investigators also seized two vehicles, along with several electronic items and items used to process marijuana for resale.
Eight prescription pill bottles and at least four cell phones could be seen in a photo accompanying the press release. There were also five glass pipes and a digital scale in the photo.
Officers said in the release that the marijuana was packaged in plastic bags and one jar.
Chief Deputy Mark Lucas, in a telephone interview, said some of the electronic items found were televisions and what he would classify as possibly "DJ equipment."
"Like turntables," Lucas explained.
Lucas was not certain how much cash was seized during the raid.
The investigation is ongoing and no additional information can be released at this time, the release said.
Russel Langley can be reached at (865) 220-5514.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – UMBC women's soccer did all it could to hold off the fourth-ranked team in the nation and the top team in their bracket, but senior goalkeeperLauren Kadet's (Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) six saves were not enough to hold off Virginia Tech as the Hokies punched home a goal in each half to end the Retrievers' Cinderella season in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday night at Thompson Field.
The Retrievers conclude their historic season, which resulted in its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance, with a program-best 13 victories and UMBC's first-ever regular-season and conference tournament crowns.
UMBC's turnaround season ends with a 13-6-2 overall record, while Virginia Tech improves to a program-record 17-4-2 and moves on to the NCAA Tournament second round where it will host the winner of Rutgers and West Virginia.
The contest started out quietly, with no whistles or shots coming in the opening seven minutes of action. The Hokies would record the first shot of the contest, its only one of the half that was not placed on goal, as junior midfielder Kelsey Loupee sent her attempt wide right.
VT would put Kadet to work shortly after, forcing the Retrievers' all-time saves leader to knock down a pair of shots from sophomore midfielder Ashley Meier.
Meier missed out on another chance to give Virginia Tech the 1-0 advantage in the 34th minute, as her shot was tipped just wide by Kadet. The Retrievers would hold off the Hokies on the ensuing corner kick, as a Shannon Mayrose header was blocked by the UMBC defense.
The Retrievers were unable to keep Virginia Tech off the scoreboard before the break. Mayrose flicked up a header inside the near post on a long cross from the right side by senior defender Taylor Antolino, giving the Hokies a 1-0 advantage in the 40th minute.
UMBC sophomore back Nikki Boretti (Crofton, Md./Archbishop Spalding) helped to keep the game within one goal prior to the break, as a centering pass was pinned against the foot of senior forward Ashley Manning by Boretti, keeping the forward from getting off a shot from five yards out.
Kadet continued her stellar play in the second half, making a point-blank save on a shot from senior forward Ashley Manning to keep the Retrievers within one 3:18 into the second period.
Manning would add an insurance goal in the 61st minute when she was able to turn with a defender on her back and blast a shot inside the far right post from 12 yards out to give the Hokies a 2-0 lead.
UMBC sophomore forward Alexa Quaranta (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) tallied a shot for the Retrievers in the 72nd minute, but her attempt was sent far left. The shot moved her into sole possession of third on UMBC's single-season shots list, with 61 shots on the year.
Kadet matched a season-high with seven saves on the night to tie for 10th on UMBC's single-season saves list. She finished her career as the program's all-time saves leader with 396 stops.
Senior goalkeeper Dayle Colpitts did not have to make a save on the evening, as Virginia Tech blanked its 10th opponent of the season.
Game Notes
-UMBC drops its first-ever NCAA Tournament game and moves to 9-10-1 all-time in postseason play.
-America East teams are 11-24 in NCAA Tournament games.
-Virginia Tech was the top-ranked team in UMBC's bracket and entered the contest ranked No. 4 in the nation.
-UMBC's seniors Lauren Kadet and Stephanie Smith played in their final collegiate game.

My vote goes to the alltime newwave classic ...
Red Skies!
Red Skies from Shuttered Room
Saved By Zero from Reach The Beach
Woman On A Train from Phantoms & 1011 Woodland
Secret Separation from Walkabout
Deeper And Deeper from Greatest Hits
Driven Out from Calm Animals
How Much Is Enough from Ink
All About You from Missing Links
Two Different Views from Elemental & Happy Landings
You Don't Have To Prove Yourself from Want That Life
My vote goes to the alltime newwave classic ...
Red Skies!
Yay, guido!
It looks like "Red Skies" is doing pretty well... I know it's hard to vote what with all the amazing songs the Fixx created. But with an enchanting beat and catchy lyrics, "Red Skies" is just so addicting for me!!
Yup, I had to go for 'Red Skies' too, as it was the first Fixx song I heard, and I've always considered it to be THE song by the band, despite the commercial success of the RTB songs.
From the point of ignition
to the final drive
the point of the journey
is not to arrive
anything can happen
UMMMM.... AHHHH.... HMMMMM..... Gee.. I WONDER which One I will pick.. cause I Bet NO ONE will EVER guess.....
You pass like the moon in silence
In the warm flooded air
Looking back to those lost opportunities
So often missed or ignored
A thousand times I start heading for the dawn
Only to turn around and face this rue once more
There 's something ahead of you
Cy Curnin
Don't die, with your music still inside of you.
Gee. I dunno. Knowing Jeanne, it could be two different ones.
It's tough choosing from la creme de la creme, isn't it?
I wonder what will happen after the new album is released. I expect one of its songs will show up in the poll, eventually.
"Red Skies"
This is coming from a guy who discovered The Fixx when he was over 25. My favorites aren't based on radio play or sales. To be honest, Reach the Beach is one of my least favorite Fixx albums.
Tough choice, though. We love lots of their songs, don't we?
Wow, Steve, that was tough. I am exhausted from pondering 2 or 3 of those. In the end, I went with the one that seemed to reach my soul the most (not just lyrically but musically):
Two Different Views
Wow, this is hard. Back in the 80's, my favourite song was "Red Skies." In the 90's it was "Calm Animals," but now that I'm older, I LOVE "Two Different Views." I'll have to think on this for a while before I vote...
Hard choice...
Of this particular set of choices, I definitely had to go with Saved by Zero. It's probably the song that made me a fan. I think it's truly wonderful, and it survives reinterpretation. I adore the Woodland version, too!
If John Cage stands silently in a forest and there's no one there to hear it, is it music?
I finally decided.
I voted for Saved By Zero.
I can see that Red Skies is stealing the show though.
Another great song indeed.
DittoOriginally posted by Cyn_in_DC
In the end, I went with the one that seemed to reach my soul the most (not just lyrically but musically):
Two Different Views
Puh, so difficult. But in the end I voted for just one song....
Yeah, I see this thread is pretty much redundant now but, whatever...can't choose a favourite song!
I now have "Phantoms" and "I Will" is sensational.
If I were to rank the 5 albums I have so far, I'd go with:
Elemental (simply wonderful all the way through)
Shuttered Room
Want That Life
Reach The Beach (I'm with you on that one, dejapete)
It's been so long since I voted that I can't remember which one I voted for!
By the way, Robert, "I Will" is phenomenal on there. For me, it's the end of "Phantom Living". . . I have an old cassette that had once gotten stuck in my tape deck that I painstakingly removed for fear of losing it, only to be pleasantly surprised that the place where my fingers touched it gave that ending a more surreal sound, like it fades in and out like voices!

The homebuilt Batpod from Vietnam looks finished, and it's more badass than ever.
Not only does the Dark Knight Rises replica have new flat-black bodywork and what appears to be an exhaust-driven (or motor-driven) fake minigun, but the builder is even wearing a helmet now. Well, he's still in flip flops, but Vietnamese Batman is not to be trifled with.
We can also finally see the motor of this bike, and it looks like a 125cc Suzuki scooter engine. That's 13.3 horsepower of handcrafted bat-justice, right there.

If you've been confused about how the Affordable Care Act works, the presidential press conference that opened the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live" at least attempted to quell those concerns.
"Polls show that many are confused by the details of the law," Obama (Jay Pharoah) said. "Some have criticized me for not explaining it better. So today I've asked some regular Americans how the Affordable Care Act will change your lives for the better."
But the commander in chief wasn't helped by his "success stories."
U.S. & World
"Let me say that I am so psyched for Obamacare," said Jennifer Osborne (Aidy Bryant). "Now that I have free healthcare, I can get sick all the time. Obamacare y'all."
"That's not how it really works," Obama retorted.
"I stopped washing my hands, I'm licking hella subway poles. Thanks Mr. President."
Obama then tried to explain that children would be covered under Obamacare until they were 26, but a success story turned out to be an angry father (Bobby Moynihan) who touted his support of Chris Christie for president in 2016.
Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (Taran Killam) then tried to filibuster his way into the press conference, but was dragged away by authorities.
"Horton may hear a who, but the only thing I'm hearing is socialism," said Cruz.
Obama's last speaker was a New Mexico-native named "Jesse" ("Breaking Bad's" Aaron Paul), who told his story about a friend who was diagnosed with cancer. Unable to pay for healthcare, he got "backed into a corner" and "did what anyone else would do." He started cooking meth. That's when things broke bad.
"Soon it wasn't just meth, it was murder," Jesse said. " And not just regular murder, like he blew half a guy's face off."
"OK, I think we can probably wrap this up," Obama interjected.
"Wait, don't you want to know what happened to my friend?" Paul asked, before a quick "No" from Obama and the rest of the people in attendance, in a nod to Sunday's highly anticipated "Breaking Bad" series finale.
After the opener, "SNL's" new cast members got thrown into the fire by former cast member and guest host, Tina Fey.
Fey's opening monologue started with her reminiscing about her nine years on the show, but she soon forced the "SNL" newbies, Beck Bennett, John Milhiser, Kyle Mooney, Mike O'Brien, Noel Wells and Brooks Wheelan, to dance, in their shorts.
"Do you really want to make it? Then let me see you shake it," Fey said.
Without fail, the fresh faces gyrated their bodies on stage, while Fey offered some valuable critiques.
"I hope you do a lot of impressions," Fey said as Bennett was forced to "crotch."
The hazing of new cast members continued in another segment, a game show-themed skit, "New Cast Member or Arcade Fire." Fey, alongside "host" Kenan Thompson, were forced to pick who was a new cast member of the show or a part of Arcade Fire, this week's musical guest.
"The guy in the glasses has a real deer in the head lights look," Fey said about new cast member Kyle Mooney. "He's already sweat through his ironic 'Boston Legal' T-shirt."
Even "SNL" producer Lorne Michaels had problems identifying the new cast member later in the segment.
"Is it the black guy?," Michaels said, thinking Thompson, an 11-year veteran of the show, was the new cast member.
The first Weekend Update of the new season with Seth Meyers and new co-host Cecily Strong focused on the possible government shutdown and developing relationship between the U.S. and Iran.
Meyers first tackled Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's 21-hour talk-a-thon this week that protested funding for continued health care reform.
"Over the course of the speech he read from Dr. Seuss' 'Green Eggs and Ham,' did an impression of Darth Vader and admitted his love of White Castle," said Meyers. "I'm not sure what Cruz's speech was arguing for, but I'm guessing legalizing weed."
Meyers continued his critique of Senate Republicans tactics this week to defund President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
"Cause you know the old saying," Meyers said. "If you can't beat them, kick the ball into the woods."
Strong discussed new Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's acknowledgment of the Holocaust earlier this week that showed a break in ideology from his predecessor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"Which I believe is the very definition of the least you could do," said Strong.
Strong then went on to thank some of the former female "Weekend Update" anchors before she was joined by Fey, who gave her some pointers.
"Keep your head down, you do your time," said Fey. "Your first day, you walk over to the biggest guy in the yard and you punch him in the mouth. Don't mess with Texas. Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. Believe in your nightmares."
The last part of the segment featured Drunk Uncle (Bobby Moynihan), who eventually ranted about the final episode of "Breaking Bad," which he said he was going to have to watch with his nephew. Soon enough, Drunk Uncle's nephew, "Meth Nephew" ("Breaking Bad's" Aaron Paul) joined the show. The two ranted some more and sang a meth-induced version of Whitney Houston's "Dance With Somebody."
Paul also appeared in another sketch that promoted an electronic meth-smoking device.
Arcade Fire, this week's musical guest, performed "Reflecktor," "Here Comes the Night Time" and "After Life."
