True, active rights are less. So the attack has less to work with.

Years ago similar big rumbles were felt on the East coast of Florida. One of the US Navy's battleships was practice firing out in the Gulf. Probably with the muzzles pointed East toward Florida. It made quite a rumble when the shock wave eventually reached shore. Late one night here on the East side, in still cold air, with a storm way to the South, a very slow moving shock wave from a big lightning strike rolled across the neighborhood. It slammed windows and doors one by one in slow motion. Very very weird. You could hear it going down the streets banging houses one after another, all in a row. Even worse, you could hear it coming for about a half mile away, before it got there. Kinda creepy. When the fireworks display blew up on the ground in Reynoldsburg, it was felt as a ground shock wave on the East side, before the concussion arrived through the air. I remember jumping up and running outside, I knew somebody's fireworks had just gone all to Hell.

It's called Mexico. ¿Puede usted decir la motocicleta en español?

I think he sold his soul and had the Devil bless his tires...

ok but... I'm the guy that works with Casper, and I get to fix his computer also. (assuming he can't fix it himself, of course, and there are those days) So when I say spybot didn't work, because I tried it first, then I expect that you will find out the same thing. Truthfully, I also found a couple of Vundo hits, that's something much more serious. So in best interests; This is the standard sequence that works for most infections; 1. turn system restore off. 2. download superantispyware, spybot, malwarebyte and ccleaner. 3. install and update all three. (rename the malwarebyte executable) (do not use the spybot TeaTimer, the SDHelper for IE is ok) (setup only one desktop icon, skip everything else) (skip the extras, all the languages, skins, etc) (make sure all scanners are set for all files, and that you scan all, except for malwarebyte which can run in quick mode ok.) 4. run the ccleaner and take all the crap out of and off of your computer. Use the defaults and do both computer/applications and the registry. Run them multiple times till they don't find anything. BACK UP THE REGISTRY WHEN IT ASKS THE FIRST TIME AND DON'T DO IT AGAIN TILL YOU'RE DONE. 5. reboot in safe mode. 6. scan with superantispyware and repair/fix everything it finds. 7. reboot into safe mode again. 7. scan with spybot and repair/fix everything it finds. (there are tricks with spybot that help) 8. reboot into safe mode again. 9. scan with malwarebyte (quick mode) and repair/fix everything it finds. 10. repeat as necessary till the infections are gone. I actually do multiple scans with each, till nothing is found with each, and then move on to the next one. But that's only necessary for tough Trojans that move around and come right back. 11. reboot into normal mode and preferably set a new restore point. If you restore, it might restore the infection. (skip restore instructions if you don't use it, I don't) 12. sometimes even this doesn't completely work, like with a serious Vundo infection. And that will require additional efforts and softwares and skill. 13. leave all three scanners (and the ccleaner) on the computer, and use them often enough. They are on-demand scanners, not full time scanners. Don't install more than one full time anti-virus program. They tend to fight one another over viruses and freeze up. If the infected computer does any of the following: Your virus definitions look out of date. Your anti-virus won't update You suspect your anti-virus program isn't really doing anything (faked) Won't let you browse the internet Won't let you go to websites that have anti-virus software Won't let you install the anti-virus software Won't let you update the anti-virus software Reboots in the middle of the scans, making it invalid Then it is much more serious, and you probably need help with that one. But in most cases you can win by using another computer to find answers and software, and move them over on a thumbdrive. Including updates, done manually, or later when it's back under control. This is for only XP on a windows machine. And this is the short version. There is a multipage set of instructions that will take days to get through, and I've had to use it often enough. Some software tools will cause more damage than the malware, if used improperly. Polymorphic Trojans will often stealth up, change names, and hide, and will return again soon enough. Just watch for them to return and remove again. Note: We can make a list of safe porn sites. Ha! BTW, the free AVG works fine for a full-time anti-virus scanner. I like it.

I just took that one off a campus computer. Pretty funny stuff. 100% fake, send money prreas... Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to remove, it's the only one that worked when I tried several. Spybot, symantec, and superantispyware did nothing for this one. http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php edit: once downloaded, change the name to something else like mb.exe. Some viruses and trojans will attack this one when it's executed with it's original name.

I think the damage potential is when the control module sends a spark and the plug wire isn't grounded.

Is it ok to check spark like that with a computer control module? (Holding plug wire to ground while cranking.) I thought some service manuals warned against doing that. Please wear insulated gloves if you try that. Newer bikes have a hot spark. The old days of sticking your finger in the plug cap and kicking the kick starter are long gone, heh.

I thought those guys looked... Mediterranean... It's in Turkey. More pics: http://www.naturetours.com.tr/stalking_eng.html http://www.naturetours.com.tr/approches/approches.htm

Ebola would be bad, but Bubonic Plague is found every year in big cities like New York and Houston. It isn't a real problem, because it's easily identified and easily treated. New York hospitals would recognize it immediately. It's definitely about what I expected. Sooner or later this would happen and they would goof it up. I bet they don't try that again soon.

I think so... are you 108 miles long and twisty? Does your computer got some sort of alarm that goes off when it sees your name? Dang, only one minute to answer...

Just curious if anyone has ridden this road. State Route 28 from the South end of "The Tail of the Dragon", over to Walhalla, South Carolina. (Or 129 and 143 till it connects with 28.) Locals call it HellBender? 108 miles through the Nantahala Forest and some rugged mountains. It looks like a road route somebody would take to get to Myrtle Beach. http://www.motorcycleroads.us/roads/nc28.html

btw, did you check to see if the fuse box contacts were corroded, they should be bright and shiny. I've had problems in the past with mine, it would blow fuses or run the battery down due to lightly aged contacts at the fuse box. 400 grit paper wrapped around a screwdriver will clean them up. It certainly isn't charging the battery. It might even be the battery, but I would guess either a short, a bad connection in the charging circuit, or the stator output. That does include the regulator. Otherwise, there is a lot of parts there that my bike would probably like to have, like the entire bike, lol. Question is, do I need yet another project...

That too... gotta go...

I'm an old fart, I wasn't having any fun. Besides, it's a shame to let 40 years of motorcycle experience go to waste.

Book Club Time! read this one and see how the Middle East got messed up in the first place. Pick it up at the library. Sowing the Wind: The Seeds of Conflict in the Middle East by John Keay http://www.amazon.com/Sowing-Wind-Seeds-Conflict-Middle/dp/0393335089/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232297214&sr=8-1 The book concentrates on developments from World War One and Two. Politics of Europe colonized the Middle East. The USA was begged by the Middle East to intercede and help them free themselves from Colonialism. This began the era of the CIA involvement everywhere. If we really want to blame someone, it's the Romans for invading the Middle East (and everything else) way back when. And the Turkish as well, for later invading Europe (and everything else). The Middle East isn't any more violent than Europe during the Hundred Years War. It's just less developed and determined to stay that way. Yes, I read it, and was impressed.

Some gal in Columbus is trying to sell a 1997 Ninja 500R quick for $1500. KBB trade-in value is $1455. KBB retail is $2175. Nobody that I know of has looked at it. http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/996876797.html edit: ok, missed this, she asked $1000/$1500 OBO on Friday 16th, and $1500 on Saturday 17th. Two ads, weird. Second ad had a pic. http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/996021076.html second edit: heh, it's listed on Jan 9 for $1400.... http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/986387888.html

Yup, it was listed last year, and it looks like it didn't sell. Same price, I think...

Yes, always support the current commander-in-chief. Doesn't matter who, he or she is in charge. And btw, for those about to depart... "Thank You for your service."

dang, just spray starter fluid in the airbox while it's cranking, if it fires, go find out what happened to the fuel that normally flows freely...

Yes, the legend of Tecumseh's curse will now be modified to include near misses with angrily thrown footwear.... check Wiki later this week...
