We recently attended a preview event with a few upcoming games on show. I drew the short straw and got a hands-on with Red Steel 2 to write up. Or at least that’s how it appeared at the time. In all honesty this game caught me by surprise. Having been burnt by the first game, I really did not expect much at all. The first Red Steel was a Wii launch title, and while not a terrible game it was certainly not great (or good) either. It was bogged down by some performance issues and controlled relatively poorly.

I always dreaded the job of buying a motorcycle. It was of little difference if it was a used or new motorcycle. Of course, I liked hanging around the motorcycle lot on a Saturday morning and browsing the cycles. On the other hand, when it came to meeting with the sales person and negotiating on a cycle in person I never liked it. Then one day I stumbled on new and used motorcycles for sale auctions. I discovered that there were many reasons to like these online motorcycle auctions.

Street Bikes and Fuel Economy The street bike is often viewed as a recreational toy, a luxury afforded to those with the two-wheeled fever Street bikes are also associated with the daredevil, the person who lives on the edge and takes life one day at a time The reality however, is miles away from here Street bikes are ridden by individuals from all walks of life including professionals like doctors and lawyers for example The old stereotype of law breaking rebels and individuals who do not respect their own livelihood has begun to fade .

The open road is just three weeks away! But, I won’t be at the granddaddy of them all — I’ll miss chatting with CJ Halon ( Guilty Customs ), rubbing elbows with Jeff Cochran ( Sucker Punch Sally’s ), miss the Legend Ride with Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler and all the cigar aficionados, artists and vendors at the 69th Annual Black Hills Motorcycle Rally – a.k.a., Sturgis . Sure it’s a can’t miss event and I’m not cutting corners, but having been there a few times already I’m now more selective on which years to attend and if all goes well I’ll make next year’s big 70th blowout party.

My friend Sam Lawrence unveiled his latest project, Blackbox Republic on the world today. Billed as an online relationship market for the sex positive community, the site features event planning, commerce, and mobile features on top of a general social networking platform. I will admit that when Sam first pinged me about this I thought it was an elaborate prank… “a social network for the ‘ sex positive ‘ community?” what my first reaction followed quickly by “is it a porn thing?” and then “okay this must be a prank and I’d better play along so as not to give him the satisfaction of punking me”.

by Gen Wright Sometimes, you may run into cash flow problems because of a stroke of bad luck. Perhaps you need to make some emergency renovations to your home. Or perhaps you need some cash for a new computer that you need for your work. Such situations can happen to anyone at any time. There are many ways you can raise cash. But one of the quickest way you can do so is to apply for a car title loan. Of course, the assumption here is that you own some type of automotive .

Hi, to all World Super Bike fans . My first impression of walking through the pit gate is wow ! look how many trucks the teams have , money springs to mind. With excitement, it felt like the circus was in town, indeed it was the World Super Bike circus. What a life ! To travel to events all over the world , its glamorous . To a biker the best job in the world would probably be being a rider of a glamorous team. What the public do not see is the dedication behind the scenes of the riders and the staff involved.

Yesterday morning, we finished construction on the 20th and final fuel efficient cook stove in my community. I took a deep breath as I rode on the back of a motorcycle to my house (yes, it was walkable, but it’s hot, ok) where I bathed, had a coffee, and then set off to a neighboring community, where a PCV friend has recently finished construction on an aqueduct and was celebrating with an inauguration. We listened to speeches, ate huge plates of food, and danced the night away, me secretly celebrating my accomplishment along with his.

First of all, Happy Bastille Day! Yes, July 14 is the day the French celebrate the storming of the Bastille fortress and prison, signaling the beginnings of the New French Republic. Once, as a child, I tried to wish someone a “ Happy Bastille Day” but misspoke and ended up insulting the person’s parentage and legitimacy. Because, ethnically-speaking, I’m a mutt, I do believe there is some French dressing in our family salad…sorry about that…sounds alternately gross and naughty. I did learn a word or two of French while appearing as Lt.

I recently attended the AIIM Road show 2009, aptly titled “ People and Documents working together ”, and located at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham. The show was supported by a number of exhibitors including HP Software, IBM, OnBase, Kodak, Kofax, Vignette, Xerox DocuShare. The two key note speeches were interesting listening and certainly whetted my appetite for more information. The focus on the first keynote was on the two words from the title “ Working ” and “ Together ” – both symbolising aspects of enterprise content management (ECM) systems.

Tougher Bankruptcy Laws Take Effect October 2005 In just a few short weeks, President Bush?s Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act will take effect.

Instead, consumers will find themselves having to file for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy protection and paying back their creditors over a five year period.

Although there had been some concern that budget woes would prevent the city of Boston from providing security for Sail Boston 2009 , the event happened regardless this weekend, with plenty of police officers on the waterfront to make sure everyone stayed safe while checking out the tall ships during their annual visit. On Sunday afternoon, crowds at the Charlestown Navy Yard were well-behaved, giving several motorcycle cops a chance to take a rest in the shade while a throng of kids and camera-wielding parents admired their wheels.

This past Thursday we went up to our clinic in Gatineau as usual, not knowing that a routine 8-10 hour work day was going to turn into a rugged 24 hour shift! We saw over 40 patients during the day, and at 4:30pm had the truck all packed up to start our drive home, feeling contented that we had been of service to so many people, but tired after what had been a busy day. I put the key in the ignition and turned it and the engine went chug-chug-chug, but didn’t turn over. So, I tried again.
