Event Description
Ladies and gentlemen
It is a new year and time once again for a Welgelegen,Helderberg Yamaha funduro ,on 4th March 2017.
This is always a very exciting and interesting fun ride.
Those that have been there before will know that it is one of the more technical rides…
The 10km 4x4 loop they have will be the main loop with more technical sections running out of it.
Both obviously marked with different colors.
The intermediate loop will consist of many up and downhills,off camber etc. Mostly hard pack but a bit of rocks as well.
Do as many laps as you want or can in the allowed time. Unfortunately no quads sorry guys.
This ride is great for building some tech skills.
We want to have a barrel race and maybe add some endurocross sections for races on the day.

Follow the gps coordinates provided or get onto the bottelaryroad and take the steneveldpad turn off.follow the Welgelegen signs and orange enduro stickers

Ablution , shaded braai area and boeries and drinks available
R150 per bike

Simplifying the Google's PageRank Tale

Google’s PageRank [popularly known as PR] is a very powerful link analysis algorithm that evaluates the prominence of a particular webpage. If compared to other techniques used for ranking a website, PageRank is one among the strong instruments draws on for the purpose. PageRank ranges from 0-10 and a website that acquires 10 out of 10 is ranked top and prominence gradually declines with 9,8,7,6 … and so on.

Google’s strategy to rank pages in its search engine results pages is quite straightforward. After finding all the relevant pages that matches the entered search keyword, Google ranks the pages on the basis of these keywords. Later it calculates the inbound anchor texts explored across the website and allots the PageRank.

Factors that affect the PageRank

There are a number of things need to be considered while performing link exchange with other website since it may affect your overall PageRank.

A relevant link on your website impacts more than some irrelevant links. So if you are looking for high PageRank, sustain and rely on related backlinks.

Someone who knows more about the origin of the actual site should update this part because I got nothin'.

  • It was started in May of 2006 by Gracie after seeing Whispertown2000 open for Jenny Lewis and The Watson Twins in Carrboro, NC. She and Erin set up the site and got it running and then mentioned it on RKnet and then a select group of lovely people joined. The developement of the online site occurred just as RKnet was undergoing changes which caused their forum to be disabled for a time. Several people from RKnet joined LIAD as a result of the RKnet forum downtime and they soon realized that LIAD was the place they wanted to stay.

The forum at was established on May 18th, 2006. While first established as a means to discuss Whispertown2000, it quickly became a way for a group of AMAZING people to chat about anything and everything. Occasionally Whispertown2000 still gets discussed.

One of the strongest common interests between members of LIAD is stalking. Every member has a person/band/celebrity that they primarily stalk. Though the stalking is at all times obsessive, extensive, and shameless, it is always 100% harmless, so there is no reason to fear.

Sorry Lion Records

Sorry Lion bands:

Sorry Lion on Myspace!

The first teams LIAD established were the now infamous Team Maria and Team Orenda. It has since developed into a LIAD phenomenon with teams for such random things as orange juice and toaster pastries.

See a full list of LIAD teams.

Collaborative Mixes

LIAD began making collaborative mixes in October of 2007. The idea is that one person is designated as a host and everyone sends that person a song on a central theme. That person makes a mix out of the songs and posts the mix. Then everyone tries to guess who sent what song. It hot.

China, DR Congo most affected by displacements in 2016

Last year, more than 31 million people were forced to flee their homes and subsist within their country's borders, often under dire conditions, due to natural disasters and human conflict, according to a global analysis released Monday.

East Asia and the Pacific accounted for two-thirds of the displacements related to extreme weather events including storms, floods, wildfires and severe winter conditions in 2016 - nearly double the number for 2015.

Refugees have special status in global law, but if you're forced from your home and stay within your country's borders, you're classified as an "internally displaced person" - an "IDP" - with no guarantee of protection or assistance.

Yet, the report said, "2016 was a year of stark contrast between the attention given to refugees and migrants and the lack of political concern for the millions of people displaced inside their country by conflict, violence and disasters".

"As of the end of 2016, a total of 40.3 million people were displaced within their own country as a result of conflict and violence, some of whom having been displaced for decades", the report said. Some 2.6 million of them were in sub-Saharan Africa, while 824,000 were in Syria, 659,000 in Iraq, 653,000 in Afghanistan and 478,000 in Yemen.

"With the impact of climate change, for example, in the future it is only going to lead to more extreme weather. which will put pressure on resources, which will lead to more conflicts and it contribute to that vicious cycle of displacement", she said.

John Terry has made most of season on periphery at Chelsea
But according to Gary Neville, Jose Mourinho has enjoyed an even better Chelsea team than the one now being overseen by Conte. A 4-0 win over West Brom in their third game saw Chelsea to the summit and again, they were not to be budged.

US slaps sanctions on Venezuela Supreme Court judges
OPEC member Venezuela officially said on Tuesday that it is supporting the proposal for a nine-month extension of the deal. In a subsequent release, he said authorities had annulled his passport, even though it was valid through 2020.

Thames Valley Latest — NHS Cyber Attack
There are also many other strains of ransomware which cyber-security experts say they are seeing being given new leases of life. This prevented access to records and caused chaos throughout the NHS.

Yet more aid was spent previous year on refugee resettlement within donor countries than in the countries where displacement crises originate.

The number will grow unless the underlying causes such as political turmoil and climate change are tackled, an worldwide aid group said on Monday.

The figure was the highest of internal displacement resulting from conflict recorded globally. It said while China, the Philippines and India have the highest absolute numbers, small island states suffer disproportionally once population size is taken into account.

Refugees on the other hand, have crossed global borders and as a result are entitled to legal refugee status, which provides certain rights and protections.

"To the extent that the Global Report on Internal Displacement holds up a mirror, the reflection it projects is one of worldwide indifference, lack of accountability and states failure to protect their own people", Bilak said.

Media registered with the UN Correspondents Association in NY are welcome to attend the launch of the IDMC 2017 Global Report on Internal Displacement (GRID 2017) on 22 May 2017 at 11AM EDT.

Houthi rebels launch drone strike on Saudi-owned oil facility

On Monday, Yemeni forces fired a domestically-manufactured ballistic missile at Nahouqa military base in Saudi Arabia's southern Najran region.

Though, the Saudi-run Al Arabiya television channel reported that Saudi air defence forces had intercepted and destroyed several ballistic missiles over the capital Riyadh, and southern provinces of Jizan and Najran.

The Houthis say their missile attacks on the kingdom are in retaliation for air raids on Yemen by the Western-backed coalition.

"The missile force carried out a large-scale ballistic missile attack on various parts of Saudi Arabia", Al-Masirah said.

The missile is thought to have been fired by Houthi rebels in Yemen, who a Saudi-led coalition has been bombing since March 2015, when it intervened in support of ousted President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi in an effort to prevent Houthis from maintaining the capital of Sanaa.

Al-Masirah said the Houthis had also launched an attack with the same model of drone on the airport of Abha in neighboring Asir province, Reuters reported.

The Houthis and their allies have used the drones to disable Patriot missile defense systems deployed by Saudi-led forces in Yemen, said vehicle.

There was no immediate Saudi comment on the report. The Houthis said they were targeting an Aramco facility in Jizan, but the company said its facilities there were operating "normally and safely".

More than 10,000 Yemenis have died in the conflict and millions in the impoverished country have been pushed to the brink of starvation.

Yemen lies along one of the main global oil chokepoints in the Red Sea.

Saudi Arabia and its allies launched the war in March 2015 in support of Yemen's former Riyadh-friendly government and against the Houthi Ansarullah movement, which is now running state affairs.

Foundation Students do Real Research

by Olwyn Alexander

Teaching English for Academic Purposes (EAP) is about more than developing students’ English language and study skills; it also involves Academic Purposes, i.e. research and scholarship. I’ve been interested for some time in ways to develop the research capability of students with an intermediate level of English proficiency (CEFR B1, IELTS 4.5). I got the opportunity to explore this further with a revision of the Heriot-Watt Foundation English programme, in which the research component is foregrounded. Students now develop their language proficiency within the context of research in their discipline. This required a fundamental rethink about how to present the research process for intermediate level language learners, going back to first principles for research.

I started by asking the Foundation students what they were curious about in their discipline and we noted that children are natural researchers because they are curious about the world. From typical questions children ask, we derived some fundamental questions about research in the disciplines:

For science and engineering

  • What exists?
  • How does it come to exist?
  • What does it do?

For social science

  • What do people think about what exists?
  • Why do people behave the way they do?

We then characterised the concept of research by looking at published definitions and decided that there were four key components:

  • A concept – an abstract idea that forms the basis for a piece of research
  • A real world context in which to study the concept
  • A problem or puzzle in the context that relates to the concept
  • A question that links the concept to the problem in the context.

The research question formulates the problem in a focused way that enables it to be researched and thus to move the discipline forward. Some examples of Foundation students’ research questions:

  • What is the minimum concentration of a chemical pollutant in an indoor environment required to model it accurately?
  • How can Shunfeng [a Chinese logistics company] develop its third party logistics operation effectively?

Foundation students can use the framework to access key ideas in complex research articles. They explore the research activity of members of their discourse community and characterize their research using the same framework. They share their findings in class discussions and complete an assessment task to profile a researcher. All the time, they are expanding their repertoire of academic vocabulary and grammar structures.

The students, all postgraduates, have found the experience to be highly motivating. Just because they have a low language proficiency does not mean they cannot grapple with complex academic concepts as long as these are presented in accessible language.

The challenge for teachers is to operate well outside their comfort zone to engage with ideas their students find motivating but they may find incomprehensible. Is it asking too much of teachers to work in this way?

The Little Details That Make a Big Difference

There was a time not too long ago when personal development and self-help books seemed to be all the rage, with people proudly walking around with their own copies of titles such as Steven Covey’s “The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People” and the likes. I don’t know, perhaps personal development and self-help books are still all the rage and people are just reading them in digital copy formats like Amazon’s Kindle reader or just as PDF e-books so no-one judge their cover (or their  neuroticism). One thing I’ve always asked myself though is whether or not those personal...

5 Essential BBQ Accessories

5 Essential BBQ Accessories

If you are wondering which accessories you need to make sure your barbecue is great this summer, wonder no more. Duff Dixon, owner of Ontario Gas BBQ lists his top 5 BBQ Accessories essential for every serious barbecuer.

Brush – Required to keep your bbq clean. Make sure you get one with steel bristles woven in twisted wire so the bristles don’t come out.

Smoker Box – You can buy different types of wood chips such as apple or hickory to add to the Smoker box to give your barbecue different flavours

Rib Rack– Allows you to stand the ribs vertically so you can get more ribs on the barbecue and prevents them from drying out too quickly.

Grill Topper – Allows you put small meats and veggies on the barbecue with small holes so they don’t fall through. The Grill Topper expands the foods you can cook on your barbecue.

Thermapen – A temperature reading device to allow you to check the internal temperature of your meat to make sure it is properly cooked. The Thermapen reads in only 3 seconds which is important because you don’t have to keep the barbecue open too long which allows the heat to escape.

There are many great accessories you can use while barbecuing, but these accessories will help ensure you have a great barbecue experience every time!

Building A Child’s Self-Esteem

Building A Child’s Self-Esteem

Positive self-esteem is the cornerstone for healthy development and forming lasting connections, inter- and intra-personally.  When I first began doing art therapy 15 years ago, I noticed many of my younger clients had difficulty expressing and identifying positive attributes about themselves.

The alternative school I was working at began a school-wide positive behavior campaign that focused on “catching the kids being good” and handed out little pieces of paper praising the child for the “good” behavior/action they demonstrated.  At the end of the week, there was a drawing and a child earned a small prize which all the kids loved and looked forward to!

During this campaign, and along with my art therapy groups, we worked on saying (or drawing) one thing that was positive that day in the beginning of group and at the end of group thanking everyone for being there and participating.

The growth was slow in the beginning of the school year and many kids decided to “pass” when it was their turn to share their positive memory of the day.  The kids also had difficulty accepting their “being good” tokens.  While they were happy to receive them, they concurrently had a hard time believing they were worthy of them.

During the middle of the school year, I experimented with a small group of four kids all elementary-aged.  I created “Bravery Medallions” for each child and wrote why I thought each individual child was brave.  The medallions were bright yellow, decorated, and had colorful yarn so they could wear them around their necks.

As the children came into the art room, I said nothing and placed the medallions around the neck of each child.  I remember them looking at what was written on their own and then scanning the room to see what other kids had around their necks.  The excitement in the room was contagious!

The kids talked excitedly about their medallions and asked each other questions.  They also asked me, the author of the medallions, many questions–“Why did you write that about me?!”  “You really think I’m brave?!”  “How do you know this about me?!”  “Why did you give me a medallion?!”

What was interesting to see was how many of the kids kept their medallions on throughout the school day… and, during the week!  Many of the kids were so proud to wear them and loved showing them to the staff.  And, the staff made a big deal about them too!  Some were so ratty and torn up by Friday that new ones had to be made!

Throughout the year I would surprise the kids with various medallions and I quickly learned to laminate them because of the positive effect the kids had from them.  They literally wore them out!

During a group session, which was an Open Studio day, one of the kids decided to make an “I Am…” medallion all on his own.  Soon, all the kids in the group were making and wearing them!  What was amazing to witness was the growth of each child in that group–to see where their self-esteem was at the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

By the end of the year, these kids were able to internalize and accept the truth of who they were and, at the same time, celebrating the other members in the group!  I believe that the therapeutic rapport in our small art therapy group played a large role in these kids finding strength and acceptance of the “good” in themselves.

The personal messages written on the medallions also encouraged the kids to also open up and begin to trust adults/authority figures.  Many of the kids I serviced in the group were from foster homes and the consistency and individual recognition they received from myself, the agenda, and the group rules all encouraged safety and trust to build.

How to Make A Medallion!

  • Colorful paper or cardstock
  • Markers, crayons, colored pencils, gel pens
  • Magazine pictures, cartoon characters
  • Colorful Yarn
  • Hole puncher

  1. Create your own theme for a medallion.  What do you want to celebrate?   It can be “I Am…”  “Bravery”  “I Like…”  “I Believe…”  “I’m Happy because…”
  2. Assemble your materials and be as creative as you like!
  3. Encourage the child to wear the medallion and proudly display it!
  4. Make a big deal about the medallion!

Mr. Potato Head

Lily, the little Baselista

This is the third year that Lily has been going to Basel.

In 2009 she was only 1 month old and I think I only got to take some short walks with her.

Last year, we checked out art both during the day and at night. She was still small enough to carry in a sling.

This year she has only experienced it during the day because she is too big for a sling and yet it is a big hassle to deal with the stroller with these many people around. Either way, her bed time is 7pm.

Yesterday (and this morning) we went over to Collins park to check the public art that is out for everyone to enjoy and some pop art at a gallery on the corner of 21st and Collins that has start troopers on the balconies. (not sure of the name)

Lily really enjoyed being able to touch and walk around all the public art and her fave? The super BIG Mr. Potato Head at the gallery. (of course. so much that we went to see him again today)

I have said this on here before but, I just think that it’s so important to expose kids to art.

Tomorrow I think we will go to Art Miami so come back to check out some more Basel.

Happy weekend everyone!

Green eggs and ham

Yesterday we went to the library for a special reading of Dr. Seuss Green eggs and ham.

Did you know it was a $50.00 bet between Dr. Seuss and his publicist to see if he could write a book using only 50 words?

I didn’t. (crappy thing is the publicist never paid him the $50.00!)

Did you know it is the most popular and most sold book out of all the Dr. Seuss books?

I didn’t.

Peter from the Miami Children’s Museum (he also did Mr. Potato Head last month) is great with the kids.

I think the performance could have been not as LOUD and I think that Sam I Am was a bit cracked out but for the most part all of the kids seemed to have liked it.

The Adventures of Mr. Potato Head

The collaboration between the Miami Beach Library with the Children’s Museum yesterday was so great! (and educational)

The theme was The Adventures of Mr. Potato Head.

4 adventures to be exact: jungle adventure, in outer space adventure, archeology adventure and under the sea adventure.

All the kids (including Lily) were so in awe and so willing to participate.

I’m so happy the library got some grants and is able to bring in these great FREE programs.

Electric stoves

   Electric stoves are the most simple and convenient stoves to use in steam baths. In addition to its primary purpose, air heating of steam room, they can often perform additional functions. For example, there are models that combine the wood-burning stoves and steam generator. There are also electric stoves, equipped with a lighting system that could replace the lighting in the steam room.

   Perhaps, it is electric stoves, which exhibit the greatest diversity not only in power but also in the design. Electric stoves for sauna are available in various versions of the case: high-quality stainless steel, painted or without color, with stone accents, or entirely of stone slabs, and even stone pyramid.

Electric stoves

    In addition, electric stoves can be floor standing or wall-mounted. Thus there are floor models that can be installed not only at the wall, but in the center of the steam room.

   Control of electric stoves for a bath is maximally simplified. Electric stoves are produced both with built-in, and with a remote control units, which usually can not only set the desired temperature, but also set the parameters such as time of continuous operation of the stoves, as well as the waiting time of inclusion.

   Electric stoves – is the best solution for equipment of commercial and private baths. You can enjoy soaring, while using these stoves with the least effort for their service.

Does anyone still have kernel
« on: October 09, 2015, 10:30:04 AM »

I have been playing around with one of these devices for years now but I've had a hard drive crash on me and I've lost all my kernel images. The last kernel ever made for this device was RV114 and it worked really well. I cannot find it anywhere on the internet including on the Wayback Machine. There was potentially going to be a 3.12 kernel recently but that seems to have gone dead as well.  If anyone still has either of these files I would be deeply appreciated if you could upload them:

Thanks  :)

Ages 30 And Up: 5 Things I’m Still Not Ready For After The Big 3-0

(Image via Flickr)

So I just turned thirty and my mom sent me, among other girlish gifts, a small bottle of bubbles—to subtly remind me, I’m sure, just how far I am from being young enough to enjoy them. They’re not the kind you’d use in some lavish and womanly bath, but the kind you’d blow and get a kick out of and entertain yourself with for an entire afternoon if you are a kid. A kid far younger than thirty.

I wanted to add a little zero on the side of the bottle. “Ages 3+” it read. Well, I definitely surpassed that cutoff… twenty-seven years ago. I suppose then, it’s twenty-seven times more OK for me to blow these bubbles now—that I should really be some kind of bubble-blowing expert. I’m not bad, but after all these years, I should really have the physics down pat. I should know just the right amount of bubble solution to dabble on the yellow, plastic wand. That the diameter of my lips should measure no more than, say, eight millimeters—tops. That if I slip and let my teeth and/or tongue get in the way and start to whistle, then my bubble is truly screwed.

Of course, I’ve learned a thing or two in these twenty-seven years since clearing the bubble-blowing benchmark—though I thought it’d be totally unfair to tell you about them.Hey you, ages three through thirty: Learn your own damn lessons. You’re welcome.

Instead, I’m going to tell you what I haven’t learned, what’s yet to come. Because, while I’ve done and discovered a whole lot in these thirty years, and pretty much thought I would be dead by now, there are some things I haven’t yet been ready to do. Because there are limits for these things—like blowing bubbles—you have to reach a certain age before you’re really ready for it.

1. Being comfortable in my skin.

Being comfortable in your skin is a myth that gets perpetuated by everyone in junior high school on up through your 20s. It’s the thing to pretend to do. From TV, movies, and pop stars, we all learn the look of “cool,” of being unphased, confident, and having a personality that is completely unshakable.

The fact is that life and yourself in it is never at a constant:  your values and who you are will change so much that you’ll hardly remember who you were or why you thought or acted that way. If anything, you learn to be comfortable with shedding that skin. With change and growth and being imperfect. You become more self-loving, vulnerable in a good way, and human.

I know 50-year-olds who aren’t 100% comfortable in their skin. Why? Because they’re changing and growing still; life is shifting, and they have to adjust. Having it any other way would make life pretty boring.

2. Getting married and/or having kids.

This is a big one for those caught between Baby Boomer parents who keep reminding you that they were married, had three kids, and one more on the way at your age, and your fellow peers who have every relationship, marriage, parenting, and child-rearing option at their disposal. I have friends my age who have been married, divorced, one even twice already. Friends who got pregnant before getting married. Some who separated, while one parent raised the kid alone for a bit, then got back together. Some who want more than anything else to get married and have kids, but can’t seem to find the right partner. Some who just want kids. Some who want to adopt because there are already so many children in the world who need help. Then there are the “classically” married:  in their 20s, have a kid or two. And me:  a little anti-marriage, though warming up to it and even the idea of being a mom.

Just as our generation has been gifted a “prolonged adolescence,” where we can explore what we want and who we are (see GirlsNew Girl, any show about mid- to late 20-year-olds), we’ve also been gifted “delayed parenthood” or “deferred monogamy.” That we’re living longer and longer these days, and have so many choices in partners, career, where to live, etc., we simply don’t have to choose and settle down right away.

And since the Earth is pretty, damn well-populated, there’s no species-preserving obligation for us to have kids at all. Still, the big 3-0 does start to hone it in for you biologically; I know it’s helping me decide what I really want in making my own family. But do I have to decide just yet? Naw, I think I’ll wait ‘til I’m like 35.

3. Making peace with my past.

Maybe I’m different. I like to talk about the past. I like to own it. I try my best not to forget it. I don’t care much for the expression “the past is in the tomb, the future is in the womb…” blah blah. The past isn’t dead. We feel the effects of personal, political, and historical blowback every day. So why would you want to erase your precious experiences, good and bad? Of course I live in the present—but I also think about the past. Why would I want to forget the details of this wild adventure I’ve been on? How can you truly know yourself and where your future is heading without knowing where you’ve been?

As Socrates said best, “An unexamined life is not worth living.” Of course, don’t mire yourself in the past in a negative way, but definitely don’t forget it. The past is simply far too rich with knowledge, understanding, and clues to who you really are. Sometimes it takes awhile to catch up with it, especially when your hyper-active 20s seemed to go by in an instant. Who was that person? Who I am now? Where am I going? These questions never cease:  so, don’t make peace with your past. Not fully. Hold onto your prolific history and you’ll hold onto you.

4. Saving for my future/retirement.

I’ll do this after I travel to Europe, India, South America, and a few more places I’d like to go first. Ha, just kidding. Kind of. While I do have a few zeros in the bank that aren’t merely to the right of the decimal, I am in no way shape or form currently saving for my retirement. Is that bad? According to nearly every financial article I see on the subject: Yes. Do I still have time? Certainly.

Like many in our generation who struggled to find gainful employment during the Great Recession, I will at least have learned how to get by on a little, and save some in the process. I’ve learned to live in accordance with my income, and have meanwhile still traveled and pursued things I love—solid skills I’m shoring up for a quality life, as well as that of a future retiree.

5. Not being selfish.

In our teens and 20s, we are pretty selfish. It’s not entirely our fault. We’re going to school. We’re working jobs. We’re still figuring out how to stand on our own and support ourselves. This is not every teen and twenty-year-old. Some are incredible giving. They volunteer, they launch ambitious community projects. They go build houses in rural Africa.

This, admittedly, has not been me. I’ve given back some here and there; I’ve volunteered to help those less fortunate than me, but it hasn’t been an ongoing and consistent effort in my life. Exercise and eating healthy, I’ve gotten down, and I want giving back to be like those practices—as vital to me as nutrients. It’s not hard. Everyone can find their place to volunteer and give back, even for just an hour or two a week.

Maybe I’ll go volunteer with kids… it’s something I’ve been thinking about doing for awhile. I could join an afterschool program that helps young students with their reading skills. Maybe I could even bring some bubbles on the first day as a gift. And a share a life lesson or two.

It’s something I think I just might be ready for.

  1. I enjoyed reading this very much! The author addresses the important issues facing many of our young people today. Well done!

  2. It’s really great hearing other adults talk about how they’re not quite “grown up” yet. Even at 23 I feel as though I should have some direction, or that I should be achieving all these goals just because I have family members who had Done Things at my age…
