WASHINGTON (CNN) - Sarah Palin has firmly remained in the media spotlight since her bid for the vice presidency ended four months ago, but the Alaska governor embraced a decidedly lower profile when she traveled to the nation's capital this weekend.
The former Republican vice presidential candidate has scheduled a busy itinerary of closed-door events and face time with congressional Democrats and Republicans.
She also announced earlier this week she's making the 4,500-mile trek from Alaska to Washington primarily to attend the Alfalfa Club Dinner Saturday night - an annual closed-door roast of the nation's political elite.
But it's what's missing from Palin's schedule that is causing more than a few heads to turn. In a city that is ground-zero for national political journalists, Palin has not scheduled a single media interview or indicated she will hold a press conference.
gimme drugs, babies out of wed lock and disgruntled employees
Palin is the story of next year as well, don't go away Palin, we love you
Oh, let's leave Palin alone. At least she has a little time to repair her reputation away from the constant spotlight. Meanwhile, we have to deal with the Bidens' slips of the tongue – infamous in themselves.
She got a taste and wants more.
My family watched Gov. Sarah Palin's address of States of AK thou C-SPAN on Jan. 27, 2009. Her very detailed plan to increase of revenue thou energy independent in AK as well as a nation has highly amazed and gives us sort of hope. So far, Obama economic team has reported that how we'll spend one trillion dollars which send $360,000,000 for help of ABORTION which is murder to some countries in Africa and already wasted $150,000,000 for 3 hour the Inauguration as well as Obama will help ACORN which has under investigated by FBI with VOTER-fraud a huge money etc. American, however, have not figured out yet how Obama will increase Federal revenue from energy independent or the others sources. The both ways to spend funds or to increase revenue are available to increase jobs. However, the way to create jobs with spending a huge money that Obama has processed would be temporary ended. The way to create a lot of jobs with raising of revenue through energy independents; natural gas, drilling shores, clean coal, solar, winds that Sarah has implemented is more incessant and secure for Americans. That's why my family fully support Sarah Palin and Sarahpac.com. GO SARAH 2012/2016
If she is not seeking media coverage, then do us a favor and stop covering her!
What is wrong with you people...Palin has done nothing to anyone in this blog. She legally ran in the election... she showed her proof of birth and her college transcripts ....anyone one of us can do that....the election is over with....let's think like taxpayers...and make sure this Pelosi Pork Package gets cleaned up. It looks like the House of Representatives didn't even read it.
Some people actually do things in their lives unlike the rest of us who waste time and energy blogging, texting, twittering and facebook.
What's wrong with this picture...and I include myself in it.
If she wants to be the next presidential nominee all she has to do is lie, cheat, steal, stop paying her taxes and switch to the democrat party....that seems to be the ticket for success in the democrat party.
maybe the Gov has been reading posts like this and finding out what a lot of people really think about her and it always seems, except on Fox, that there are more Palin "haters" than supporters.
Please Sarah dont be shy, we're going to need you in 2012! Just kidding, dog gone it!
What is the Meaning of 'is' is?
Can't really blame her. The press is less than fair to her, in fact, goes overboard to critize every aspect of everything she says and does. She is older and wiser now.
Enough with her , she is nauseating !
How is she laying low and you reported about her?
It's okay to meet with media in Alaska. She picks the reporter and even then can barely answer the questions. I cringe every time I read an interview she has given.
She won't meet with the D.C. media simply because she couldn't handle their questions. They'd demand answers not "Palinese speak". She couldn't handle Couric so I"m not surprised at all that she isn't answering any reporter's questions in D.C. Enjoy the meal Gov. Palin. (I wonder how much this dinner will cost the taxpayers of Alaska?)
Did someone let this Idiot out of Alaska again? I say God Bless Palin for keeping her stupid trap shut. This Idiot should only be seen and never heard.
Please, please Sarah, run for President in 2012. I and many other independents want to see how well you do against Hucklebee, Romney and all the other Reps who will run against you. You could barely handle old Joe Biden (who by the way, is younger than fossil McCain); Biden treated you with kid gloves and let you get away with winking, flirting and refusing to answer questions. Do you think that Hucklebee, Romney and all the other Rep candidates will do the same? They will tear you to pieces.
What I really want to see is a debate between you and Hillary Clinton. Hillary will wipe the floor with you. So please, please Sarah, run in 2012. I and my colleagues will reserve a front row seat. BTW, I am a woman and an attorney. I would love to have a woman as President, but you are not that woman.
She is so annoying to my ears.....
Hey, Sarah, this isn't the "real" America. Back to Dogpatch with ye.
"Palin is traveling to Washington to lobby senators to approve certain infrastructure projects for Alaska in the economic stimulus package."
Seriously?! What happened to fighting pork? What happened to being a maverick and rallying against earmarks? Oh yeah, it's Sarah Palin. She literally doesn't know the meaning of the word "hypocrite."
Will the economic stimulus package pay senior citizens on Social Security & Medicaire & Medi-Cal
Thank yopu
Barbara A. Barnett
Bill, can you prove anything you just spewed or are you just full of BS? I would say BS. So typical of you Libs. By the way, for all you Libs that spewed all over about Palin's daughter's mother-in-law, what do you think about Obama's brother getting arrested for drug trafficing? Hypocrites!
Can't stand her
It's epitome Albert not epidemy. As in Albert is the epitome of a Palin-esque conservative that went the way of the dodo.
Please Palin for the sake of the country stay put in Alaska.If you're the future of the GOP I feel sorry for the party....
Albert: Typical Palin supporter. "...the epidemy of idiocy"? Before you go calling people idiots, learn how to spell. It's epitome, as in, your comment is the epitome of the idiocy. It epitomizes the mindset and thought processes of people who think Sarah Palin actually has something to offer American political culture besides being just the epitome of political idiocy.

Sila: Getting Your Act Together
The Dharma of getting your act together (sila) is all about behaving better. Some prefer to call sila "restraint" or "discipline" rather than "morality", because morality is enmeshed with philosophical issues. However, all of the these words are fraught with shadows of western thought, and their meanings do not really capture the full concept of sila. They are too steeped in concepts of good and evil, and can trigger a frame of mind that is punitive and judgmental, which is not at all what sila is about. So in an effort to clear this up sila will be explored in some depth here.
While the other two parts of the Dharma, concentration and wisdom, refer mostly to practices and insights that take place in meditation, sila is the part of the Dharma that deals with "normal" day-to-day life. Getting an education? That's part of sila. Being a loving member of family? That's part of sila. Volunteering at the food bank? Sila. Doing an honest job at work, canvasing for a political cause that you think will help your neighbors, teaching the Dharma to people who want to become enlightened? All sila. Almost everything that we do that is not meditation or the insights related to it fall into the category of sila (though these distinctions get blurred during advanced practice). When you stop and think about it, most books on Buddhism are actually books on sila. Compassion, interconnectedness, gratitude, forgiveness, – focusing on these are all part of the practice of sila. Needless to say, there is a good reason so much of what is described as Dharma is in the basket of sila. It is where everybody starts, and nobody can skip this critical practice. When we begin on the path, we realize that where we start our practice is with the whole of our lives. Everything that we do off the cushion is sila.
So why care? There are many reasons why people behave well: a sense of gratitude toward God, sense of community, personal identity as a moral person, compassion for those who are effected by your actions, avoidance of punishment, a desire for the positive regard of others… The list of reasons could go on and on. All of the above reasons for moral behavior are fine. But the primary reason for moral behavior on the path to enlightenment is to prevent immoral behavior from getting in the way of liberation. These teachings are all about one thing – getting you enlightened (that isn't quite right but I'm going to keep it simple). So everything in the Dharma, from start to finish, aligns on this one end.
How does immoral behavior interfere with enlightenment? There are two levels (roughly speaking) on which behavior affects one's ability to wake up. The first is what happens when you sit to meditate. If you've been up to no good in your daily life, and you are a normal healthy person with no personality disorders, then your mind will immediately begin to ruminate on your actions. You will not have a choice about this, and it will be a real shock if you've never really looked deeply at your own mind before. You will see that it is constantly thinking about whether you got away with it, who might find out, what the effects might be to others, or to yourself if you were caught, and so on. It is not an exaggeration to say that for somebody with immoral behavior the mind is a prison. Even if that person is walking free, he or she cannot escape his or her own mind, and the nature of the mind is to get "stuck" on questionable behavior. Ever notice that people who act badly are also the most cranky and difficult? That is because a person with poor behavior will always have at least a low level of frustration and irritability, as if an annoying song was stuck in the mind. This effect is a form of Karma, or to put it simply, it is an example of the law of cause and effect (more on Karma in a future post). Meditation is very difficult for a person suffering the psychological effects of negative behavior.
The second effect that bad behavior has on liberation is in the form of Karma that most people are familiar with, the kind that effects our daily lives. When we engage in behaviors that harm ourselves or others, we create the conditions for further harm to happen to us. It really is that simple. What that eventual harm might be is nearly impossible to tell (and totally a waste of time to speculate about), but suffice it to say that if you do something that you know has caused harm to another person you have just set the stage for something negative to happen to you. This is not meant in a mystical sense at all. It is very direct and simple. If you exercise you set the conditions for good health to happen to you, if you text while driving you set the conditions for a car accident to happen to you, if you praise your child when they do their homework you create the conditions for them to do their homework again, and if you intentionally create harm you set the conditions for harm to happen to you in some form. It is not worthwhile to get caught up in the metaphysics of karma (that does not lead to enlightenment). The important thing to remember about karma is that, as one teacher told me, "you don't get away with nothing." So even if it seems in the short run that the rascal in you got away with something, rest assured that you didn't. So, how does all this interfere with awakening? In a pretty no-nonsense type of way: if you are constantly dealing with the fallout from negative actions, how are you going to meditate?
Everything, literally everything, has a consequence. These consequences can be psychological, like the mind ruminating on something, or situational, like negative reactions from friends. The problem for most of us is that we are not clear-minded enough to connect the dots and see the pattern of cause and effect. It actually takes a tremendous amount of cognitive horsepower and mindfulness to do that. Unlike putting our hands on a hot stove and immediately feeling the consequence, the effects of many of our actions do not show up in such a neat linear fashion. Rather, our intentions set the conditions for the consequence to occur at some point down the road and over time it becomes nearly impossible to trace the effect back to the cause.
Because the purpose of morality in the dharma is to keep the path to enlightenment from becoming obstructed, there really are no concepts of "sin" or "judgement" in this way of thinking. Rather, there are guidelines, or "practice precepts" that are intended to keep the practicioner from doing things that would wreck meditation and interfere with awakening. This only makes sense. In any good set of instructions there are not only clear directions about what to do, but also what to avoid doing. For example, if you are baking bread you want to avoid putting the yeast into water that is too hot, otherwise the bread will not rise. As I mentioned before, learning to become enlightened is a skill like any other. So, you must not only learn what to do and what to practice, you need to know what not to do.
The most famous of the instructions on what not to do are the "five practice precepts" taught by the Buddha. These five are:
1. abstain from killing
2. abstain from stealing
3. abstain from lying
4. abstain from intoxicants
5. abstain from sexual misconduct
These precepts are very basic and are intended to keep the practitioner from causing serious havoc with their meditation. If you are robbing or killing people you will have a very tough time meditating. However, it should be pretty clear from the outset that these precepts are not airtight rules that are black and white. Does the precept to abstain from killing mean that I need to be vegetarian? Is it stealing if I buy a foreclosed home that belonged to a family with a subprime mortgage? Am I breaking a precept if I have a beer with dinner? What the heck is sexual misconduct? There are lots of grey areas here, and that is the primary reason that I mention them at all. To point out what I hope will become obvious to every practitioner, that there really are no absolute rules that can take the place of your own conscience and critical judgment. While a good teacher can give you guidelines, it is up to the individual meditator to decide whether a behavior is interfering with their progress. What can be said with any real certainty is that the precepts, and all of sila, is about preventing the practitioner from intentionally causing harm to others or to themselves. If anything can be a sila litmus test it is that: intention to harm.
Daniel Ingram once referred to the teachings on morality as "the first and last practice". I like this way of describing it, because it emphasizes the open-ended nature of our attempts to perfect our morality. Becoming moral is not a practice that is finished on the way to enlightenment, rather it is a practice that deepens with each insight.
As your behavior becomes less harmful to yourself and others, more peaceful and compassionate, you will see a corresponding improvement in your meditation (and very likely a big improvement in your overall life). Once you have your act together and your meditation begins to deepen, it is worth your time to try and get a better understanding of meditation and its role in the path. The next part of Dharma covered here is on meditation and is what I call "Getting your head together."

Welcome to Reception (Early Years Foundation Stage)
Starting school is a big mile stone in our lives not just for a child but their whole family. At The Vaynor we aim to make this a fun and exciting time as we know how important it is to continue the learning journey that you as parents have already begun with your child.
Every child deserves to:
- enjoy and achieve!
- be healthy
- stay safe
- make a positive contribution
- achieve economic well-being
As a team we work hard to plan new and exciting activities that will enable each child to access all the areas of learning and development; looking carefully at the skills the children need to learn, then planning alongside the children to find out what they would like to learn next and what topics interest them.
We use a range of strategies to support learning including whole class teaching, small group activities and one-to-one intervention. We believe children become successful learners when implementing their knowledge during their learning through play.
Learning through play gives us the opportunity to play alongside, model and observe the children to develop and support what they need as individual learners. We work in partnership with parents and love to celebrate those special moments that make you proud of your child.
Please stay and take a look around the gallery and other areas of this site.
RJD - Mrs Jo Downing (who is also Early Years Leader), Mrs Jo Merrick, Mrs Kelly Green, Mrs Linda Crooke.
RRJ - Miss Becky Joynes, Mrs Cathy Lees, and Mrs Tracey Scott.
RSD - Mrs Sharee Deane, Mrs Yvonne Hardacre and Miss Lucy Traves
If you have any concerns regarding your child, please feel free to contact your class teacher through your child's communication diary. If you feel the matter has not been resolved please contact Mrs Downing, who is the EYFS leader.

When I was growing up, weekends in the summer (much like weekdays in the summer) were spent at the beach. My dad would load up the tall aluminum jug with ice cubes and then fill it with orange juice, vodka and Grenadine, recreating a drink he enjoyed in Jamaica sometime in the 60s. Over the course of the day, visitors would sprint across the hot sand, cool their feet in the shade under our beach umbrella and have a couple of Dixie cups of this stuff. It was popular enough among my parents' friends that one of their little daughters passionately disagreed with her teacher one day at school, insisting, 'A Flamingo isn't a bird; it's a drink!'
This drink was so celebrated, and the coral color so pretty, that of course I tried it. Once. And I hated the alcoholic wallop. But recently I started thinking it might be fun to make a Flamingo for my own taste, wondered if it would be worth a shot to try make one that was better suited for drinking than for polishing the TV cabinet.* The chance came last night when I was invited to a party at the home of my good friends Kim and Doug. An extra lucky break for someone who is a novice (me) when it comes to drinks: Doug used to be a bartender. If I was going to learn to make a good Flamingo, I needed a good teacher, and he was very willing to be that. Done.
Pure orange juice was easy enough to find. But a word about Grenadine: I was astonished, and frankly disgusted, by the contents of the Grenadine that's available. There were three brands at Foodtown, and two of them—the biggest names!—contained high fructose corn syrup, red food coloring and precious little else. Seriously—it's just goo. Grenadine's supposed to be a pomegranate-based syrup, for crying out loud. The last bottle had all of the other stuff in it, but DID contain pomegranate juice, so it won.**
I gave Doug the orange juice and Grenadine and asked him to use plain vodka (Grey Goose, if you must know). He got out one of those shaken-not-stirred mixers, just shy of two cups, and got to work making the inaugural Flamingo. I watched, figuring if I didn't like how he made it that I'd try it on my own, but darned if he didn't nail it on the first try.*** It was refreshing and tropical-y with just a breath of vodka to adult it up. And he even chilled the glass by keeping ice water in it while he mixed the drink. Lovely stuff.
Here's how he made it:
Load a martini glass with ice water. To an ice-filled mixer add 1.5 shots of plain vodka. Top off with chilled orange juice. Add a couple of shakes of as pure a Grenadine as you can find. Shake well. Pour off ice water and add mixture. Serve immediately.
My hosts tasted it and liked it, and my sister—who remembers it from our childhood as well—liked it as much as I did.
Isn't it cool to think an heirloom doesn't have to be a quilt or a doll or jewelry? And isn't it even cooler to think an heirloom can evolve…maybe even be improved for another generation?
*Someone has to wonder these things.
**Next course of action: I'm going to make my own. Pomegranate juice is available at well-stocked supermarkets. How hard could it be to add a bit of simple syrup and reduce it ?
***It's totally who you know.

How Revolutionary was the Mazda Miata in 1989?
(This article is from Popular Mechanics.)
It's hard to think about the original Mazda Miata without considering what it is today, nearly 30 years after its introduction. After all, it's the default choice today for a cheap, light, simple sports car, perfect for just about everything from daily driving to club racing. But obviously, the NA was once a new car, and it's valuable to day to consider what it went up against when new.
As this old MotorWeek video reminds us, when the Miata arrived in 1989, you could buy a new Alfa Romeo Spider or a Toyota MR-2; the Pontiac Fiero had only just gone out of production, and Nissan had the 240SX. So you weren't lacking choice for rear-wheel drive sports cars in the day.
And yet, the Miata blew all of them away. "The Miata will make MR-2 and Fiero owners understand that it takes a lot more than two seats and a sunroof to make a true sports car," Motorweek's John Davis said.
A key to the NA 's success was that it was designed from the outset as a sports car. It didn't borrow its chassis from any other car in the Mazda lineup, and while its 1.6-liter four-cylinder came from the 323 economy car, it got four-valve heads and dual-overhead cams for better, more responsive performance.
Mazda paid attention to the details on this car, and it showed. Davis summed up the car well in his rather prophetic ending to this review:
"By mixing the fun of yesterday's roadsters with the technology of today, it marks a giant leap forward in the evolution of the sports car," he said. "And it will go down in automotive history as the car that saved the roadster from near-extinction."
Nearly 30 years after this review was aired, and with the Miata still in production and great as ever, we can't say he was wrong.

has just taken place. If you still haven't got enough of the wedding, rest assured that the official wedding book - and a DVD - will be on the market already on Saturday 27 October. The book and DVD costs 21 Euro and can be ordered from Editions.lu. The author is Stéphane Bern. You can chose between a French or a German version.
I am not sure if the publisher has picked the best photo of Princess Stéphanie, though. Concerning the bride's title, I am still waiting for the decree which will make her Hereditary Grand Duchess. Nothing on Leguilux yet, and the official website of the Grand Ducal Family has not been updated since the wedding. The new member still has to wait for her own entry.

Ari Galper On Overcoming Your Fear Of Selling
If it takes balls to make a cold sales call, surely it must take balls of steel to do so with hundreds of people watching and listening in. But that's exactly what sales expert Ari Galper did during a recent "Sales Breakthrough" event in Los Angeles. In front of a live audience, Ari turned dead-end leads into warm sales prospects, and supposedly demonstrated that it is possible to eliminate the fear of rejection in sales.
Galper has developed a system for selling – called Unlock The Game – that revolves around encouraging business owners, entrepreneurs and sales professionals to adopt an honest approach to selling. "The fears people feel with regards to selling come from their old sales belief system," says Galper. "Unlock The Game eliminates the need for sales scripts and outdated sales methods completely. It is no longer what you are selling, it's about the way in which you sell that matters."
"The secret is to not get nervous and to remain centered in the mindset of overcoming rejection and realizing it can be eliminated," adds Galper.
If you're involved in selling – and any startup founder should be – but suck at it, check out Galper's Unlock The Game.

By Matt Cavanaugh, Sam Bauer, and Dr. Brian Horgan
How quickly things can change. Shorts and sandals are now the new theme on campus this week, which is engaging considering we experienced overnight lows below zero just last Friday. It is always interesting to discuss the weather in Minnesota. Snow fall last winter totaled around 70 inches of with the average being 54 inches. As of March 6th, MSP airport has only had 27 inches of snow compared to 40 inches seen in Lexington, Kentucky this season. It would we a crazy spring if we are to hit the averages. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, most of Minnesota is considered to be abnormally dry with a few counties considered to be in a moderate drought (Cass, Hubbard, Wadena, Norman, Clay, Wilkin). Eastern North Dakota is seeing the same, but most of Wisconsin has seen adequate moisture this winter. With all that being said, we are heading into a week that forecast highs in the 50's and low 60's which will initiate the plants deacclimation process, the breaking from dormancy. Much like the shorts and sandals would suggest.
In the updates below from Superintendents around Minnesota, Eastern North Dakota and Western Wisconsin, you will notice a theme of early snow, a December and January thaw and then cold temperatures with little snow cover through February which has prompted thoughts of desiccation issues.
The general timeline looks like this for most of the region:
- First significant snow: November 10-12.
- Prolonged high temperatures:
- December 11-16th with temperatures ranging from 32 to 50 during this period.
- December 21-27th with temperatures ranging from 32 to 40 during this period.
- January 23-29th with temperatures ranging from 32 to 44 during this period.
- February 2015 was the 14th coldest on record statewide.
Metro Area: Roseville and Edina
Mike Manthey at Midland Hills Country Club has reported minimal snow cover of about 1-2 inches at the end of February and some ice on low spots in his fairways, but this is only a few weeks old and nothing clear or very solid. Due to the lack of snow cover, Mike does anticipate some desiccation on higher/exposed fairways and surrounds, but little ice damage at this point. During the two warm ups in December and January, Mike and his crew did remove water that had collected on top of the greens where he uses GreenJackets. The other greens are covered with Excelsiors and the extended days of warmth allowed for all the water to move off or through the greens where Excelsiors are used. Mike has been using some antidessicant products, and will consider adding more fairways and surrounds into the program next year depending on the damage seen this spring.
Brandon Schindele at Edina Country Club has also reported only about 1 inch of snow on most of the course at the end of February, but does not have any ice on the playing surfaces. Moisture from the December and January thaws either drained off or infiltrated into the soil. Brandon does not use any kind of cover on his greens. Temperature sensors in greens (at 3 inches) in December were showing readings as high as 36, but have generally been in the mid to low 20's with a low around 10. Fairways were more consistent with temperatures generally in the high 20's until February when they began to drop due to the colder temperatures and lack of snow cover.
North Shore: Silver Bay and Duluth
Norma O'Leary at Silver Bay Golf Course has reported 6 to 8 inches of snow cover at the end of February. Norma is also seeing .25 to .50 inches of ice cover on most turf surfaces. Core samples were taken on February 3rd with those plugs growing out nicely. Norma has, over the past 10 years, used Excelsior covers, but has seen less than stellar results the past few years. This year she changed it up a little and covered half the greens with Excelsiors and the other half with sand. We will be interested to see the differences between the Excelsior covered greens and the topdressed greens. Keep us posted Norma.
Jake Ryan at Northland Country Club has reported 0 to 6 inches of snow cover at the end of February. Jake is seeing some ice on fairways, but little on greens. With the lack of snow cover Jake is seeing, he is expecting prominent desiccation and a slow green up this spring. Jake covered his greens with Excelsiors and the turf under the mat is looking much better than any of the exposed putting areas and is happy they are using covers this year.
Brainerd Lakes: Deerwood
Joe Wollner at Ruttger's Bay Lake Lodge has reported very little snow cover with 4-5 inches at the end of February. As much as 50% of the greens were open before the most recent snow. Like other areas in Northern Minnesota, Joe has also indicated around .25 inches of ice since mid-December.
Northwest Minnesota/Eastern North Dakota: Oxbow and Grand Forks, ND
David Wood at Oxbow Country Club has reported only 2 inches of sporadic snow cover with ice on low spots in the fairways and on most greens since the end of December. Due to conditions this year, David will consider using more antidessicant next year.
Sam Reznicek at Grand Forks County Club also has experienced very little snow cover after starting out the winter season early with a few inches of snow in early November. A mid-December thaw had most of that snow melt leaving some sporadic ice cover. A few more inches fell before an additional mid-January thaw which then left quite a bit of ice on most surfaces at Grand Forks Country Club. There has been very little snow cover after the January thaw with plenty of overnight lows -15 to -20⁰F. Sam has pulled a few plugs to bring indoors which resulted in the bentgrass growing, but no response from the poa. Sam topdressed greens with about 15 tons/acre of sand (not brushed in), but Sam feels that this may be hurting him in some areas where the freezing rain in mid-December froze some of the heavier sand spots and turned it into a thicker ice layer. This ice may not have formed if the thicker spots were not there. Late February snow cover ranged from 5-7 inches, but sand is still blowing out of most of his bunkers (love those North Dakota winds).
Southeast Minnesota: Lake City
Doug Mahal at The Jewel Golf Club has reported minimal snow cover at the end of February; a dusting on the high areas to around 6 inches on the low areas. Doug has not seen any ice cover yet and scouting would indicate little winter damage at this time. Doug uses covers on 9 of his most exposed greens which this year he expects to see some benefit from.
Central Minnesota: St. Cloud
Gary Deters at St. Cloud Country Club through February has had around 1-3 inches of snow with ice in the low spots of fairways, but a very low percentage. Gary saw an initial 12 inches of snow the second week of November vanish quickly with a December thaw and two significant rainfalls on December 15th and 22nd that required him and the crew to remove water from a couple of greens. Thankfully his greens are mostly clear of ice with a few exceptions of low spots which could have been worse if the temperatures dropped quickly after the rain. Gary uses permeable Evergreen covers and due to the open winter is glad to be using them. After seeing 12 inches of snow melt quickly in combination of two large December rains, Gary has seen the greens at their worst which has allowed him to identify areas that hold water.
Western Minnesota: Alexandria
Donnacha O'Connor at Alexandria CC through February has reported 2-4 inches of snow on most of the course. Turf is brown/tan, but he has found very little ice and any ice that is there is honeycombed. He has taken several plugs which are looking good. Donnacha usually covers 11 greens with GreenJackets, but did not this year due to lack of hardening off prior to snow fall and felt the system was too active to seal it up with the GreenJackets.
Western Wisconsin: Eau Claire
Adam Murphy at Wild Ridge Golf Course and Mill Run Golf Course at the end of February has 6 inches or less of snow and reports around 25% of the course is exposed, but does not have any ice cover. With the December warm up, Adam and the crew did have to move water off of 3 greens, but has seen no water issues since. Adam does not use any covers, but is a little concerned about crown hydration due to the December moisture and warm up.
Through these updates we do see a line of where a little ice formed and where it did not. It looks like St. Cloud and North saw some of their moisture freeze during these thaws, but South of that saw much of the moisture either runoff or infiltrate into the soil. A nice representation of winter desiccation is visible out at the research facility which shows how different a little snow cover can have on turf colors in the spring (Picture 1). Most of the USGA greens at the research facility were also frost free which will allow us to take some samples this week for the wetting agent study and winter injury.
Picture 1: Rainout shelter on March 9th, 2015 at TROE kept the snow off this plot area all winter long. The plot to the left had snow cover all year long. What a difference.

With short days and cold temperatures, many indoor plants slow down, meaning they need less water and most don't need fertilizing.
But as the days get longer and the sunshine brightens, houseplants wake up. When you start to see new growth, it's time to start feeding and watering regularly again.
If your plants have outgrown their containers, this is the time to re-pot them.
- Remove your plant from its old pot and gently loosen the roots. Only move up one pot size at a time. For example, re-pot a plant in a 4-inch container to a 6-inch one.
- Put a piece of a broken pot or used dryer sheet over the drainage hole in the new pot, and add about one or two inches of soil.
- Add the plant. Plant it no deeper than it was previously growing.
- Gently sprinkle new soil around the roots, filling in all the gaps. Choosing a soil with slow-release fertilizer will feed your plant for several months. Read the product directions to know when to re-apply.
- If you prefer, use potting soil without added fertilizer and feed your plants with liquid fertilizer instead. Follow the product directions to know when and how much to use.
- Water thoroughly. If there's a saucer under the pot, empty it so the roots don't sit in water. Your houseplants will reward you for taking care of them with lots of healthy foliage and bright blooms.
If you're reusing an old clay pot, scrape off any debris, scrub it with mild dish detergent and rinse well. Then soak the pot for 10 minutes in a solution of 1 part household bleach to 9 parts water and rinse once again. A dry clay pot can take water away from your plant, so soak your pot in clean water when you're ready to use it.

Subway Scene | A Background To The Underground
Understand the dynamics of alternative culture, get to grips with what makes alternative scene people tick, and how it plays a vital role in society.
As a teenager in the 90s, I decided to become an active member in the alternative scene. Rather than a conscious decision, the transition began with music taste and then clothing. Soon after, while in social groups, I became exposed to the huge amount of alternative thinking and behaviours that exist in my community. Over the next twenty years or so, I lived in and experienced the alternative scene to a large degree. From dark and noisy bars and clubs to exclusive house parties wall to wall with masked and costumed revellers, I have experienced and been in a mixture of crowds. I have also been a people watcher. I find people fascinating and their behaviours, thinking, and personal virtues provide for endless intrigue. What else I find fascinating is the reasoning behind my choices to prefer alternative scene culture. At first I didn't really think about it but there came a point where I realised that I didn't really know who I was behind the long hair and gothic clothes. That's when I began to give the philosophy of the alternative scene serious thought. Having read extensively and summed up my own take from experience, I have written this guide to the alternative scene from the perspective of art and those who take part in it. Each section forms an answer to a question which I have posed after writing. My guess is that they answer several questions each, however I have made an attempt to sum up their intent with one all encompassing question each.
The articles are as follows:

You've reached the end! Go you! Thanks for reading, share what you love, and spread the word! And as always, pass it forward.

Canon Debuts Two New 4K Field Zoom Lenses Including The World's Highest Zoom Range, Widest Angle and Longest Focal Length Lens, The UHD DIGISUPER 122
MELVILLE, N.Y., September 12, 2018 – Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the launch of the two new 4K UHD field-zoom lenses, the UHD-DIGISUPER 122 (UJ122x8.2B) and UHD-DIGISUPER 111 (UJ111x8.3B) Super Telephoto Zoom Lenses for broadcast cameras that feature 2/3-inch sensors. Both lenses have the ability to exceed 4K resolution1, providing superb color reproduction from wide end to telephoto end. The UHD-DIGISUPER 122 features a 122x zoom ratio while the UHD-DIGISUPER 111 features a 111x zoom ratio, making both new lenses ideal for sports and live-event productions at stadiums and arenas.
"When Canon is able to produce a new lens that we can say has the world's highest zoom range, widest angle and longest focal length, it is a very exciting and a monumental achievement," said Kazuto Ogawa, president and chief operating officer, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "As a company, Canon is consistently pushing the boundaries of development and providing its customers with the latest lens technologies necessary to meet their needs."
Canon's flagship 4K field-zoom broadcast lens, the UHD-DIGISUPER 122, features the world's widest angle2 and world's longest focal length2—8.2 mm at the wide end and 1000 mm at the telephoto end, and the world's highest zoom ratio2 of 122x. The UHD-DIGISUPER 111 features a 111x zoom ratio and a focal-length range of 8.3 mm to 925 mm. Both new lenses deliver the ability to record high-resolution and high-contrast video from the center to peripheral areas of the imaging field. Additionally, both lenses are the first Canon 4K field zoom lenses to feature Canon's proprietary Air Sphere Coating (ASC) 3, resulting in reduced flaring and ghosting compared to previous lens coatings. ASC coating enhances both the High Dynamic Range (HDR) 4 and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) of the lenses, providing more natural and vivid tonality, which is becoming more in-demand for broadcast productions.
Both lenses adopt Canon's proprietary shift-type optical image stabilization mechanism that realizes a high-suppression rate in wide frequency bands and leads to smooth images. Very little image fluctuation is seen even during high-frequency vibrations.
Long-zoom field lenses are used at major concerts and events, creating visual effects that can enhance story-telling. In anticipation of this continuing trend, Canon is introducing a new operational control in these two new field lenses named "Bokeh Effect" 5. "Bokeh Effect", which is produced by a lens, is defined as the aesthetic quality of the blur in the out-of-focus parts of an image.
Canon is also pleased to announce new upcoming optional lens accessories 6, allowing focus and zoom to be adjusted with high precision when shooting in 4K at wide focal lengths.
The Canon UHD-DIGISUPER 122 (UJ122x8.2B) is scheduled to be available in the spring of 2019*. The Canon UHD-DIGISUPER 111 (UJ111x8.3B) is scheduled to be available in the beginning of 2019*. For more information, please visit www.usa.canon.com/.
Canon Expands Lineup of Portable Zoom Lenses For 4K Broadcast Cameras With The Introduction of the J25ex7.6B
MELVILLE, N.Y., September 12, 2018 – Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced an addition to its UHDxs series of portable-zoom lenses designed for 2/3 inch sensor 4K broadcast cameras, the CJ25ex7.6B. Featuring a 25x zoom ratio and a focal length ranging from 7.6mm to 190mm, this new portable zoom lens provides users with high-level operational control and the freedom to easily maneuver, making it an ideal lens for a wide-range of applications—both indoors and outdoors.
"As 4K UHD becomes more prevalent for sporting events and news gathering, Canon understands how important is it to develop and deliver lenses with our best imaging technologies to our customers," said Kazuto Ogawa, president and chief operating officer, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "The new CJ25ex7.6B lens provides Canon's optical excellence, while maintaining a compact and lightweight construction."
Adopting fluorite and Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) glass, and proprietary optical design that places these materials in optimal positions, the CJ25ex7.6B suppresses chromatic aberrations from the center to the periphery of the image across the entire zoom range and achieves high resolution and high contrast for high-resolution video capture. Through lens coating technology and a design that prevents reflections within the lens barrel, the lens reduces ghosting and flaring, and produces color reproduction ideal for High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut(WCG).
The new lens weighs approximately 4.4 pounds and measures 169.6mm (width) x 114.1mm (height) x 223.3mm (length), making it an excellent option for news reporting and documentary production.
The Canon CJ25ex7.6B IRSE S, a manual focus-type model, and CJ25ex7.6B IASE S, featuring an internal focusing motor are scheduled to be available in the spring of 2019*. For more information please visit www.usa.canon.com/.

Zaxcom News
September 14, 2018 — Zaxcom, a leader in innovative audio technology for sound recordists in film, television broadcast, live performance and post-production, will demonstrate its new internal ZaxNet™ transmitter for Deva 24 at IBC 2018 (Hall 12, Stand E33).
ZaxNet™ is a 2.4 GHz RF signal that links Zaxcom audio recorders, mixers, and wireless systems including IFB receivers into a single integrated production system. The internal ZaxNet™ transmitter is now a standard feature on Deva 24.
With ZaxNet™ all Zaxcom wireless with internal recording can be instantly locked to the time code reference without the need to manually jam through a cable. Additionally, Deva 24 connected wireless transmitters can replay its recorded audio in sync allowing a take to be rerecorded to eliminate RF dropouts or remixed for better artistic control.
"We're excited about this new functionality in our Deva 24," says Glenn Sanders, President of Zaxcom. "When you can incorporate technology that eliminates RF dropouts common to all wireless systems it gives the user confidence in their recordings."
The ZaxNet™ transmitter has a dedicated RF link to wireless bodypack transmitters with an operational distance of 200–500 feet (18-152m) making it the only remote-control system that works over the distances commonly required for production sound.
ZaxNet™ also features a sub-frame accurate time code reference eliminating the need for separate time code boxes when incorporating a Zaxcom ERX receiver. The ERX supplies both SMPTE time code and scratch track audio with a single receiver.
Now shipping, Deva 24 is chock-full of functionality including its ability to record high quality 24 track audio, 16 analog inputs (12 that are mic or line level switchable), NeverClip™ preamps that offer a staggering 136 db of dynamic range, an integrated mixer with 12 rotary faders, simultaneous media recording and advanced features such as MixAhead™.
Deva 24 with an internal ZaxNet™ transmitter is available now. Existing Deva 24 customers can upgrade for free less the cost of shipping.

Irix New FIlters
New family member of Irix EDGE filters system
The Irix EDGE family of products that previously contained ND filters with different densities, UV filters and polarizing filters, is now expanding with a new long-awaited member to the group consisting of 100mm square system filters.
The base of the new system is Irix EDGE IFH-100 holder, lightest and thinnest in its class designed for 100mm filter systems.
The construction is made of aluminium alloy which guarantees a construction of high strength and rigidity. This allows an extremely compact size while maintaining a wide functionality, as well as an aesthetic appearance that matches the rest of Irix products. The bracket can be mounted onto lenses with thread diameters from 52mm to 95mm, using adapter screws which are then fitted into the threads on the lens. In addition, for Irix 15mm lenses, a special bayonet adapter has been developed which allows the lenses to be mounted identically on the the lens hood mount.
The Irix Edge IFH-100 allows you to use two filters simultaneously without the vignetting effect.
The design of the filter holder base is equipped with a latch that allows fast and easy attachment of the holder to the lens and allows free rotation to adjust the filter position to the scene for best capture. The mounted holder still allows the use of the lid for protecting the lens.
Irix square filters have standard 2mm thickness and are made of high-quality optical glass, which is also used for the production of optical elements in the lenses.
Our filters are characterized by the highest precision and optical quality available and so are able to meet the excellence expected by the highest quality lenses.
The filters will be available in two standard formats, 100x150 and 100x100. The first, size 100 x 150, will contain gradual filters with a soft and hard transition, as well as an Reverse Gradual filter for taking pictures of sunrises and sunsets. The second consists of 100 x 100 full-ND filters, with the entire surface being responsible for light reduction.
The filters were applied to both sides of NANO hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings, as well as anti-reflective multi-coatings, in order to preserve the high contrast and natural colours in the pictures. Thanks to the hydrophobic coating, the filter surface is easy to clean and facilitates the use of filters in difficult weather conditions.
Filters and holder are covered by a five-year warranty for mechanical components and the antireflective layer.
Each filter is packaged in a practical case that protects the entire surface of the filter against external elements, and is equipped with a magnetic latch that protects the case from particles getting inside, which can scratch the filter.
Irix EDGE family will be constantly growing. The nearest premiere expected - Irix EDGE full ND 100x100mm filters.
Currently available densities:
For the premiere the first 300 orders will receive a gift in the form of an Irix Edge Square Filter Protector Set. It is made of a light-absorbing black material which also suppresses shocks, and prevents light from seeping through the filter edges. This improves contrast and prevents any flaring or the formation of flares.
If you want to learn more about the Irix EDGE 100 mm filter system, take a look at our article:

Russia has condemned what it called an influx of Japanese fishing trawlers it says are intruding in its territorial waters. But Moscow says it will release two Japanese fishermen detained this month near the disputed Kuril Island chain.
Russia's Foreign Ministry, in a statement Tuesday, called the presence of Japanese trawlers in the area a "mass intrusion." It said 39 trawlers entered Russian waters on Sunday, and said the ministry had summoned Japan's ambassador to Moscow to hear a strong protest.
Despite the protest, Moscow says it will free on Wednesday two of three Japanese crewmen seized on illegal fishing charges August 16. The boat's captain remains in custody and is to go on trial September 7.
Russian forces seized the Kurils at the end of World War II, but Japan still claims the four small islands in the northwestern Pacific.
The ongoing dispute has kept Moscow and Tokyo from signing a formal peace treaty ending the war.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP and Reuters.

BLM Advisors: It Could Have Been Different for Missouri Breaks Plan
LEWISTON, Mont. - Many of those who helped Bureau of Land Management (BLM) staff put together the management plan for the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument are displeased with the outcome. Central Montana Resource Advisory Council members have sent a letter to the BLM pointing out mistakes they say were made that led to the plan being challenged in federal court.
Tony Bynum is former chair of the council. He signed the letter because he thinks the agency erred in not recognizing that a national monument should be treated differently than other BLM lands because the goals there are to preserve scenic, cultural, ecological and geological values.
"They were trying to do the best they could to appease everybody. That's what you do on the rest of the BLM land; that's not necessarily what you do when you have a national monument."
Groups pressing the lawsuit object to some of the motorized recreation allowed under the plan, including jet boats and several recreational backcountry airstrips. No other monument in the country has multiple backcountry airstrips, but supporters of the airstrips say they increase public access to the Breaks, and some of them are used for firefighting access.
More than 80 percent of public comments called for keeping the Breaks quiet, pristine and primitive, Bynum says, and 85 percent called for closure of backcountry airstrips. The BLM appears to have ignored the wishes of the majority in trying to give something to everyone, he contends.
"This is a unique piece of property. Lewis and Clark went here; the proclamation said it was relatively unchanged through the White Cliffs area. Why don't we do something special here? They could have done that."
The federal lawsuit was filed by Earthjustice on behalf of Friends of the Missouri Breaks Monument, The Wilderness Society, the Oil and Gas Accountability Project and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

TypeScript notes
Hello everybody,
today I want to make some notes of type script, or if to spell it correctly TypeScript.
So, few words about TS.
File extensions for TypeScript is .ts.
TypeScript is superset of javascript which means that TypeScript understands javscript code. Also for execution TypeScript gots trasplied to javascript.
What means transpilation? If to take analogy from C#, it looks like this:
wonderfulProgram.cs -> C# compiler -> wonderfulProgram.dll
Now let compare it with TypeScript:
wonderfulProgram.ts -> TypeScript compiler -> wonderfulProgram.js
Another important part of TypeScript is strong typing:

SVG drawings
Hello everybody.
Today I want to share with you simple way to draw Mutual Style Fund box with help of javascript and svg in html5 with usage of module pattern of javascript.

You can choose scaling size and row and column to display.
Here it goes html code:

Module and revealing module design patterns in Javascript
Hello everybody,
today I want to propose you interesting comparison of two design patterns in javascript. As you probably know, javascript doesn't have idea of public and private members. So in order to implement them some tricks are used. That is module and "revealing module".
Take a look at samples of them:
Revealing module
var md = ( function(){
var privateMember = "private";
return {
publicMember : "publicMember"
var md = ( function(){
var privateMember = "private";
var publicMember = "publicMember";
return {
publicMember : "publicMember"

Spies and secret agents in javascript
Hello everybody,
Have you ever had a desire to become chief of secreat agent or spy? To be honest I never had such desire, but unwilignly I become chief of spies and secret agents which I created in javascript.
To put simply during unit testing of javascript sometime is needed to mock calling to some functions with replacement of that function, and sometime there is a need to mock that function without it's replacement.
The first scenario is much easier to implement, while the second one required usage of apply function.
Take a look at the following picture:
There are many js libraries which support both options ( with and without original function ). For example jasmine, … more
How to define properties in javascript
Hello everybody,
here is short notice of how to define properties in javascript:
So, lets say you want to have class Dog, with "private" field alias and public property Alias. you can achieve it in the following way:
function Dog(nameOfDog) {
var alias = nameOfDog;
Object.defineProperty(this, "Alias", {
get: function() {
return alias;
set: function(value) {
alias = value;
Later in code you can write the following:
var rex = new Dog("Rex");
var name = rex.Name; // name will be equal to "Rex"
Also you can set name of the dog to other name.

a roasted cauliflower recipe (which I have made three times in the past two weeks and I intend to make again before this week is out.) Last fall, I posted a roasted butternut squash soup recipe that is one of my favorite soups of all time. Squash and pumpkin are used with pasta all over Italy, but particularly in the north, in places like Verona and Mantua, you find pumpkin or squash ravioli on every menu of every little trattoria you stumble into. I love pumpkin ravioli, but this is a much less labor-intensive way to pair pumpkin with pasta. It's a very simple recipe, but you need to start your prep about an hour before you want to eat, because you have to cook down the veg for a long time, so, be warned.
You will need:
2 butternut squashes (or other squash or pumpkin of your choosing)
2 large yellow onions
about 6 fresh sage leaves
freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 c. heavy cream or half n half
good quality parmesan cheese
1 lb. of penne or trofie or some other short cut pasta
The prep:
Cut the onions in half longwise and clean. Then slice into thin half-moon shapes.
Clean the squash with a veggie peeler. Again, cut in half lengthwise and clean out the seeds. Then slice into thin half-moon shapes.
In a deep sautee pan or a soup pot (I use a soup pot), over high heat, add some olive oil, then the onions and a pinch of salt. When the onions are soft and starting to brown, add all the squash, then reduce the heat to low. Add the sage. Continue to cook this way for about 35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Eventually, the onion and squash will become very soft and creamy and sort of melt into each other.
At this point, bring another pot of water to a boil for your pasta.
When the veg. are soft, put the squash into the food processor and give it a nice whirl. It doesn't have to be perfectly creamy, but you don't want huge chunks of squash, either. I let the processor go for about a minute. Return the squash to the pot, add a healthy grate of nutmeg, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Continue to cook over low heat.
As to the pasta, pumpkin sauce is often served with penne, but any short-cut pasta will do. Personally, I like something with a little bite to it, so I tend to use ligurian trofie. But if you don't have access to a good Italian market, penne works really, really well.
When the water is at a rolling boil, add a big pinch of salt, then the pasta and stir well.
When the pasta is about 5 minutes away from being done, add a healthy pinch of parmesan cheese and a dollop of cream or 1/2 n 1/2 to the sauce. Give it a stir and taste for salt. Remove about one-half of the sauce to a bowl and keep to the side.
When the pasta is about a couple of minutes away from al dente, drain and add the pasta to the sauce. Cook about a minute. If you need more sauce, you've got some set aside. If you don't need the additional sauce, save it for another day.
Serve with freshly grated parmesan and enjoy.

I don't have many vices. Coffee is one. Bikes another. Together combined – Cafe Racer. Every now and then one stands out. Head n Shoulders. Evil Empire Studio.
Jay asked me some time ago if I knew anything about Tracy Bodies. Ya'ein… Produced back in the 70's. Monocoque. Sleek. Tank and seat. Fiberglass. But not much more. Had never seen one in the flesh … so, off I went. To see what I could find.
I found myself quite an interesting story. Several really. Multilingual. Spanning the Atlantic. Success. Failure. Survival.
One thread starts with a Triumph Thunderbird. Don Browns' first bike.
Another with Doug Heele and Bert Hopwood. Early 60's. Triumph Triple Development Squad. From that to this…
BSA/Triumph. 68-75 Rocket 3 and Trident attempting to head off the rising sun.
About this time Craig Vetter graduated from University of Illinois Design School. Turned a passion into a life. A search for handling, comfort and fuel economy became industrial fairing production. By the late 60's 5 moulds were producing for various models. Desiring for a 'one fits all' he ended up mating the generic upper section to a CB750 lower, including a headlight carrier. The 'Windjammer' was born 70/71 and he cashed in proper from the Goldwing crowd.
BSA/Triumph presented their 'Ogle' designed Rocket 3-Trident to their US Dealers and Distributers in 68. Disappointment. Boxy and Bone-Ugly. Kickstart. 4 speed. A Sales and Marketing non-event against the coming CB750/4.
Don Brown, BSA's US VP and Director, funded the setting of various Speed and Distance records by Du Hamel, Mann and Hempstead late 68, Daytona. The gods at Bonneville Flats smiled . Wasn't Enough.
Over a handshake the keys to a Rocket 3 slipped into his possession (E.N: KC-00197 A75R … reportedly one of the Daytona Rocket 3's speed and long-distance record setters).
His Summer of '69. The prototype was shipped to England Oct 69. Cycle World got to write about it in '70.
In '71 it was displayed at Houston. Then BSA turned up its toes.
Vetter's final prototype Rocket 3 featured
So Triumph rebranded her. As the X75 Hurricane. Allocated 1183 engines. Production ran '72 through '73 = 1172.
Classic. Iconic
Tracy Nelson. Board-Glasser, O'Neills. Late 60's, moonlighting with his tanks.
The Fiberglas Works.
Fiberglas Works in Santa Cruz had spotted the action. By 74 their 'Californian' Café/Street Racer Bodies were fixed program. Having spent the last 7 years clawing their way to the top of the custom fiberglas world, they wanted some of this. How's that? US $169.95 with an extra $70 for custom paint.
Damned to be Free … Flowing like Glass, Jim Phillips Poster
Artwork from Jim Phillips featured in many of their catalogues and ads.
Fiberglas Works and later Tracy's Fiberglas Works or Tracy's and Friends must have been a stammkunde from way back. Jim went on to make a name for himself in the Band Poster, Surf and Skateboard worlds.
Also in the action were Samoto(Rome). Honda Dealer. Playing with the big 4's. In 73 they produced 15 88bhp CB750/4's and 2 CB1000/4's.
Quite a heritage. And we're only scratching the surface.
Steve from RedMaxSpeedShop bought Jays' bike. With the Tracy body. Is thinking about doing a replica. If anyone is interested the link is above.
These bodies are now up to 40 years old. There are reports of owners facing problems with cracking and leaking. Originals not likely to be ethanol compatible. Less likely to affect Triumph X75 Hurricane owners. These have metal canisters hidden inside the fiberglass molding.
Interesting thread over at Honda CB750s.
Note: Apparently the original finish is in the epoxy. The outermost layer tinted to replicate candy finishes. Any metal flake would be added before the next layer of epoxy and mat was applied. I always thought my H1 body's original color was fire engine red but at Tracy's prompting I stripped it back to the epoxy and found rainbow flake over black gelcoat. Talk about durability. Some people in prepping will mistake this base color for paint and actually sand the top layer of epoxy off. Makes them brittle. {[Geeto67 @ caferacer.net]}
This caught my eye on us ebay the other day. It looks to have that something. Not so sure about lowering the front – looks good but alters the whole handling dynamic.
Simplified 'rising sun'. Red and white. Bold. Tracing the folds. Shortened rear. 'Cafe' seat. Clip-ons. All on an XS1B S650 016258. 10K. Original drum front brake. Clean motor. Staunch.
A fork brace may help hold the front together.
Clean motor. Looks original.
Bonus points for tastefully incorporating a fairing. Manx or Seeley style. Quick release fasteners. 3 in 1. Sits a little high for my taste.
Is it my eyes? Is the fairing just a tad too large? Would like to see properly how it's affixed.
Someone has spent a bit of time. Laid out a vision. Here is the result. Wont be everyones cup of tea. Not perfect, but gets me going.
At posting there were 7 days to go. 8 bids already. US $2,025. Seems to be doing it for others too. US $3,250 and 15 bids…gone.
Have seen Kirby/Manx/Seeley style fairings like these at Airtech-streamling.com. Rave Motorsport was proposing a KR replica-for the TZ series. Classic-motorcycle-fiberglass.com has a small selection too. TGA have Seeley style. Ragged Edge Racing have nice 2 or 3 piece Seeley style fairings. BBPlastics. Clubman Racing Accessories.
Nice eye for line and detail.
I feel sick.
My younger brother and I came over to the mainland one school holidays. Xmas. 10 weeks. Stayed with my aunt. Direct on Takapuna Beach. Think we were 9 and 10. One day we smoked cigars with our older cousin. Right of passage thing. Cool. So cool I have never liked the colour green since. We were both thankful the house held 2 flush toilets.
Last night I had a green flashback. There was a distinct difference though. Green is also the colour of envy. Negative I know. Yet not. I found these on Ebay.
And I'm in lust. I've never seen these before. It wont happen unfortunately. She who stands in the way says NO. She likes lists. I do to. Mine. I have several. One is hers and I don't prioritise quite how she wishes. The hot water radiator in the spare room isn't working. Nor is the dishwasher. And the car heater bearing is complaining.
Fortunately it is all over. Would have made a good set-up tool.
I wish someone happiness.
