The writer Aldous Huxley called it 'the most beautiful lake in the world.' We think he shortchanged the place.
Lake Atitlan sits high in a basin of volcanoes, a breathtaking, cool and sunny expanse of water surrounded by dramatic cliffs and peaks. Our house, on the roadless north shore, has a parrot's eye view of a scene that hasn't changed much since the Mayans stacked the first two blocks together at Tikal.
To reach Pamakanya, you take a 15-minute boat ride from the town of Panajachel often in the company of local women dressed in village patterns dating back centuries. They're likely to be hauling a bag of avocados or papaya for sale in the market. You're likely to haul a few of them back for some fresh guacamole or some fruit salsa for your grilled fish. That's commerce, Atitlan style.
The house, called Pamakanya, is a work of art, literally. It's a bewitching maze of stone steps, walks and patios tucked into shady gardens, built over ten years by a local artist and architect.
Fine woodwork, tile and mosaics are at every hand, making it hard sometimes for the eye to chose between the craftsmanship and whimsy of the house and the ridiculously picturesque landscape of the lake and mountains.
One of our favorite places to indulge it is the Lido Deck, a stone patio where quiet reading time or cocktail hour can unfold a bit outside the fierce rush of card playing at the main house or the delighted shrieks of kids from the dock.
The main house, with fully stocked kitchen, extensive bath and shower, living room and more, sleeps up to five in a bedroom and loft. The dining table on the sunny porch that will be your Atitlan headquarters, can squeeze in up to 13 tortilla smackers with plenty of room for lounging in over the view. (Pascual, the caretaker, will show you where to pick some fresh limes and tart oranges from the garden for a rum drink, too).
Rental party size has ranged from one to fifteen. The main house alone is perfect for one to four/five people. If you have a larger group, two adjacent guest bungalows are available, with studio setup steps away for four more people each. Each has its own bath, hot shower, coffee maker, water dispenser, and, of course, covered patio with ageless vista.
The upper house boasts one of the best views on the lake. The lower house is closest to the dock and makes a great base for a day of swimming and kayaking in the four provided kayaks. Our days often begin with a plunge into the lake followed by a steaming outdoor shower at the lower house. If you prefer your hot water straight from nature, thermal hot springs can often be found at lake's edge.
After a few days, when you're ready to pull yourself away from the black hole of relaxation that grips the house, take a hike to the nearby village of Jaibalito for a swim at the pool at Ven Aca or restaurant meal or some Internet time. Or catch one of the public boats that ply the shore every half hour to visit one of the many unique and lovely villages and towns that ring the lake. Or call for a private boat and take a tour.
Go east to Panajachel for shopping (either for world class textiles, a full array of groceries and fresh produce) or catch one of the shuttles to nearby famous markets of Chichicastanengo. Or hail a westward boat to San Pedro for a volcano climb, horseback ride or Spanish classes. Or Santiago a stronghold of Mayan culture, sites (and great shopping). Or to San Marcos, a village full of cafes, massage therapists and new age options.
The climate is high tropical (about 5,000 feet), meaning warm sunny days most of the year with cool breezy nights that sometimes dip to delightful fleece temperatures. The rainy season may means a downpour or two in the evening, but the days are generally dry.
Just make sure you're back home in time for sunset. It's going to be a great one.
As a recent renter stated ...
'... the highlight of our trip was Pamakanya! We were sitting on the patio our first evening there enjoying a drink and the fantastic view and saying "It doesn't get much better than this!' We were wrong! The sunrise the next morning was even more amazing. We have rented some very nice vacation homes in the past: twice in Mexico and twice in Costa Rica, but Pamakanya is by far the nicest.' Brenda, NB, Canada
We provide a booklet with extensive guidance about getting there and around the area, and local opportunities, restaurants, and other recommendations. More photos and information at www dot pamakanya dot com.
Keywords: House & 2 bungalows
We are two families from Takoma Park, Maryland. Katie and Jim and their children, bought Pamakanya on a whim in 2005. Jeff and Becky who were Peace Corp volunteers in Guatemala joined them in ownership in 2013 so for them and it's just like coming home.
Katie & JIm / Becky & Jeff purchased this villa in 2005
My family and I stayed at Pamakanya for 8 days. We have 3 small children 8, 5 and 4. They had a blast checking out the gardens, lounging in the hammocks, swimming in the lake and using the kayaks. We had Maria make 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners for us. Everything was delicious and we had plenty of leftovers. We even got to help with preparing. Her frijoles were really good! Pascual was always discreetly tending to the gardens and constantly supplying us with water daily. Andrea helped coordinate dinners with Maria, private shuttle from Antigua/ boat transfers and a private guide with boat to check out the other pueblos was extremely helpful and very accommodating. A really great staff! Jaibalito was a short 10-15 minute walk. We checked out Ven Ace for their pool (although it was cold, the lake is warmer), Casa Mundo for a glass of wine with a cool view and Han's for a drink and light snacks. (He is a German owner and very cool to talk to once you give him a drink or 2). San Jose was a little past Jaibalito. Maybe a 45 minute walk past. It was a really nice well maintained trail with great views. We loved the lake, the people and the house. We will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful house. (except the scorpions, they were small but unwanted)
We loved our stay in the main house. Lazy mornings reading on the dock and swimming in the lake, or kayaking to Jaibalito. Afternoons catching a lancha to the villages around the lake, all with their distinct characteristics. Climbed San Pedro which was well worth it for the walk through fields of coffee, maize and avocados, then pine and cloud forests, and stupendous views from the top. The gardens are beautiful, and well-looked after by Pascual who was really helpful. Maria cooked a great pepian de pollo on our first night, and kept us stocked up with her fantastic coffee. Best of all the view, from opening your eyes in the main bedroom at dawn, to watching Volcan Fuego from a hammock. Oh, and the loo with a view...
We'd go back at the drop of a hat...
PS if anyone finds a pair of rayban reading glasses in the lake by the dock, do shout. A casualty of the xocomil wind..
Our family of 5 (11 yr old, 9 yr old, and 7 yr old) stayed in Guatemala for a week and four nights at Pamakanya. It was the trip of a lifetime. From the moment we placed our bags on the dock, we were all amazed how gorgeous the views are of Lake Atitlan especially from all the patio choices. The kids loved every minute of it. From jumping off the dock in the afternoons to taking the kayaks out in the morning, this is a dream spot for families. We had Maria cook for us for 3 dinners and had her delicious leftovers for our breakfasts and our final dinner at the house. After Katie connected us with her in-country liaison, we used Andrea to help us with the details of our trip: a van from Antigua, a private lancha to bring us to the house, securing dinners with Maria, and a guided hike from Santa Cruz to San Marcos. Andrea was invaluable to us since we speak very little Spanish. The kids saw Volcan Fuego erupt while they were sitting in the hammocks. They loved the bunk beds, the ping pong table, and the nightly fires in the outdoor kiva. We are in awe of the beauty of Guatemala and the kindness of the people.
My husband , myself and our little dog sadly left Pamakanya this morning after spending one week there. We truely enjoyed the property. Its very well appointed. The communication with the owners was great as well as the information provided. Thanks to Pasqual the manager and gardener for making our stay confortable and to lovely Maria for keeping the house in top shape and cooking some delicious meals for us.
We had a lovely experience.
Our stay at Pamakanya was fabulous! It was the last week our friends (Family of 4) from Canada were down for a visit and this was the perfect place for everyone to relax. The water was great for swimming, the kayaks were great for exercise and getting around and the hike to Jaibalito was great. We used the upper and main houses. The kitchen was fully equipped and everything in each house was clean and very nice! Our nights were spent playing games, watching Fuego erupt and the projector was a great touch for outdoor movie nights. We enjoyed it so much, we had extended our stay for a few more nights.
Prior to arrival and during our stay, communication with Katie and Becky was great. All our our questions and concerns were answered, documents about what to expect were sent - including phone numbers and assistance with transportation. We had Maria cook for an evening and it was delicious! She made enough food for a few nights which was great! Her coffee is amazing as well. Guardian Pascual was very nice , helpful and prompt.
We are definitely interested in returning and recommend Pamakanya to anyone who is looking for a relaxing time at Lake Atitlan.
How fortunate we were to have found Pamakanya and Jaibalito/Guatemala for our family vacation! We have not been together as a family for a week long vacation since our adult children were in their late teens/college age and so this was a unique opportunity to catch up with our three daughters, their spouses and our two grandchildren.
We have had the opportunity to travel and so a week long vacation somewhere none of us had been before was one of our goals and the ability to be in a country where you can really interact with the folks who live there was a real plus. I am fond of native Americans and the Mayan people who we were fortunate to meet were special and lovely. From the experience of talking with Maria and her daughter while they prepared for us one of three meals at the house (no easy task as we had two vegans and one vegetarian amongst the rest of us meat eaters) to interacting with restaurant owners and workers, boat drivers, , fellow passengers on the water taxis, or merchants in some of the small towns within walking distance from Pamakanya, we were enthralled.
Lake Atitlan is indeed a special place and having those fantastic views of the lake and volcanoes, morning, noon, and night was something we will all long remember. The house was perfect for our extended family as we spread out comfortably in all three casitas and congregated at all hours in the main house. The owners have kept this house as I would have and do everything possible to make your stay perfect. The information provided by them was excellent and so we followed their recommendations many times including our first night stay briefly in Guatemala City before hiring the van to transport the 10 of us to the lake, where we caught our private boat to the house.
Swimming in the lake and kayaking were two of the many special things we did during the week, walking to the neighboring villages and hiking a volcano two more, and we only regretted not being able to stay for a month instead of just a week! Work and the real world did eventually reimpose itself on all of our lives but the memories will long be with us of a fantastic week at Pamakanya, Jaibalito, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.
Thank you Katie and Becky..!!
Volcano Climbing, Shopping (around the lake in Panajachel and Santiago Atitlan, and in the famous markets of Chichicastanengo, an hour away, and Antigua, two hours away), Nightlife, Visiting Mayan Villages, Massages and Yoga Workshops (in the New Age center of San Marcos, just along the lakeshore)

Nature Unleashed: Avalanche Trailer (2004)
"Nature Unleashed Series" 06 August 2004 Thriller
It begins on a glacier nestled on a frozen peak high in the wild Ural Mountains of Russia, kissed by clouds, the top of the world. A lonely, forbidding place, it's home to THOM CUSSLER and brother, JOCK, a pair of transplanted westerners seeking their fortune in Russia's new capitalist economy. They run a hard-luck snowmobile tour business that takes adventurous winter tourists up the mountains to experience the ultimate extreme winter thrill. During one such excursion, a massive ledge of snow at the top of the ridge suddenly collapses and an avalanche crashes down! Only the quick thinking and expert driving of Thom and Jock saves them. The tiny village of Dubroz, nestled far below, is not so lucky. Avalanche sirens wail, but the panicked villagers barely have time to act as the avalanche crashes down! A wall of snow smashes into one end of the village, blasting-in windows, collapsing and burying buildings... Written by GFT Entertainment

May the Lord give you peace and blessing through the music that He has brought forth through this ministry. The music is a "crossover" style that combines the rich roots of Middle Eastern music with contemporary, rock, folk, jazz, and blues to create a unique sound for praise and worship. The music on these CDs focuses on praise and worship to the Holy One of Israel.
"One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple." (Psalm 27:4)
Several of these songs are taken from the psalms which God gave to King David and others by which they praised and honored Him. The psalms were also used by Israel to sing praises to the Holy One as the musicians ministered in the Temple. They became, literally, their songbook.
In addition, the Lord, by His Holy Spirit, gave us several other songs. While the words are original, they are solidly based upon Scripture. Their only intent is to bring glory and honor to the Holy One of Israel, blessed is He!
"'For behold, days are coming,' declares the Lord, 'when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.' The Lord says, 'I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.'" Jeremiah 30:3

Rhodes Boyson
Life Path Number 6
Rhodes Boyson is a male celebrity.
He was born on Monday May 11th 1925, in Unknown.
Rhodes Boyson possesses great compassion and seeks to be of service to others. He has concern for the weak and the downtrodden. He a healer and a helper to others. Rhodes is capable of giving comfort to those in need and will frequently offer a shoulder for others to cry on.
Sir Boyson's task in life is to develop the tools necessary to be truly helpful to others, rather than to simply be a sympathetic ear. Rhodes Boyson must find the balance between help and interference. In the same way, he must learn the delicate art of the counselor who knows when to leave the struggle to others and when to avoid taking away the necessary experiences and lessons of life.
Rhodes Boyson is naturally balanced. Therefore, he is well equipped to support and ground others in times of trial.
It is in his nature to take on responsibility - often filling the void left by others - and to not turn away from personal sacrifice. At times, Rhodes Boyson may feel overburdened by the travails of others. However, the love others bestow upon him is his well deserved reward.
Rhodes tries to maintain harmony within the family or group, balancing and fusing divergent forces. He seeks marriage and is often a wonderful parent, offering warmth, protection, and understanding to children.
He is generous, kind, and attractive. Sir Boyson is often admired even adored which baffles him. He is humble and yet he carries a deep pride. Rhodes Boyson moves well and gracefully, but will have to work to stay in shape. He must seek out physical exercise and limit the sweets and dairy he craves to keep himself from becoming plump and round.
When young, Rhodes must be careful not to choose partners for the wrong reasons, and to not let sentimentality influence his decision, especially those involving the choice of a spouse. Sir Boyson needs to be needed, but must learn to discriminate between those he can help and others who are made weaker by his care. After all, it is in Rhodes' nature to be attracted to the weaker brothers and sisters among us.
The temptation and the danger for Rhodes Boyson is to think of himself as the savior of the world, carrying the burdens of others on his shoulders.
Rhodes Boyson is blessed with musical talent, as well as in the visual and performing arts. However, his creativity may well be suppressed due to his willingness to sacrifice, or his inability to fully appreciate his own talents. This is not to say that Rhodes cannot excel in these areas; on the contrary, he has the talent, and with effort he can make a success in a number of artistic fields.
Sir Boyson also has enormous talent in business. He is blessed with a great deal of charm and charisma, which Rhodes Boyson uses effectively to attract the people and support he needs.
You and Rhodes
About Rhodes' Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Rhodes Boyson's birth. In that instant, Rhodes stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Sir Boyson's numerology chart is based on the date of his birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Rhodes Boyson's life.

The result compared with the median estimate for a 4.3 percent rise in a Reuters poll of economists. It followed a revised 1.9 percent decrease in March, the data from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry showed.
Manufacturers surveyed by the ministry expect output to fall 2.5 percent in May and rise 1.8 percent in June.

I'm running linux mint, and up until today, I was able to access the internet through wifi through my netgear usb reciever. Today I logged on and I noticed that it wasn't working. a check of the system log showed that the kernel was repeatedly logging these two lines: Jul 10 13:35:15 jon-Satellite-L35 kernel: [ 768.616121] usb 2-1: new full-speed USB device number 37 using ohci_hcd
Jul 10 13:35:15 jon-Satellite-L35 kernel: [ 768.676152] hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
the kernel also logs these lines when ANY usb device is plugged in.
I have absolutely no idea how to rollback or reinstall the drivers for the usb ports. how can i do this?
also, I have an atheros ar2314 built in wifi card, and the drivers are causing repeated errors in the tcp layer, which is why i had to use the usb network card in the first place. how would I fix this?

Top 7 Goals of the Week
The worst performance of the weekend has to go to the J-League's Kashiwa Reysol.
After starting the season horribly and finding themselves cut adrift at the foot of the table, last weekend they pulled the proverbial rabbit out the hat but winning 3-2 at mid-table Julio Iwata. This weekend they proved that win was a fluke by bombing to a humiliating 4-0 home defeat to Albirex Niigata in which the first two goals were scored by their own players, the third came courtesy of a miserable mis-placed pass out of defence followed by a refusal of the defender to make a tackle, and the fourth came from the spot after heads had sunk into the ground. (Watch here.)
Of the more personal let-downs, England's Young Lions roared all the way to a bitter 4-nil thumping at the hands of Ze Germans in the U21 European Championships final, and no-one will we want to forget the match as much as keeper Scott Loach.
Yet, rising above the crowd to claim the schmuck of the week award is Gamba Osaka goalie Naoki Matsuyo, who committed a reputation-ruining 91st minute screw-up that threw away a crucial point at Nayoga.
Under zero-pressure collecting a weak Takumi Shimohira pass as the final seconds ticked over, the Gamba number one had a total brain-freeze. With only one man to avoid for what appeared to be miles, keeper Matsuyo managed to comically balls-up in the worst possible way with Nagoya's Yuki Maka the lucky beneficiary. (See what happened here.)
Onto the list, where it's slim-pickings this week.
Goals 1, 5 and 6 showed off some tidy finishing in-and-around the box, while a lazy Paolo Wanchope-esque goal can be seen in position 3. Staying with the old Premier League legends theme, goal 2 is an ode to Eric Cantona.
That leaves just two – a belter from distance at goal 7 and, although its a little sneaky to include this goal in the list, absolutely nothing can top goal 4 for pure technical brilliance.
As always, all we ask is that you sit back and enjoy!

Oda For China: Seed Money And A Window For Contacts
The Chinese economy has been growing with an average of 10 per cent during the last 25 years. Walking in downtown Shanghai or Beijing, you can find some spots that are so luxurious that they are unrivalled in the world. China does not fit the picture of an average developing country. However, China is still a large recipient of foreign aid. Figures from OECD show that in 2003 the People's Republic of China received USD 1.3 billion but ODA (Official Development Assistance), only amounts to 0.1 percent of Chinese GNP. The Chinese economic growth is certainly not dependent on foreign aid. At the government level in Beijing, ODA is seen as seed money, a window for contacts with foreign experts and technologies or as cheap financing. This paper will start by looking at China as a recipient. What are the processes of receiving aid, what do the Chinese want to get out of it and what are their priorities? This will be followed by a description of China's main donor, Japan, where aid to China is a highly political and controversial question. After a short description of Nordic aid to China in general, we will look at Swedish aid and make case studies at the project level. In the conclusion, China as a recipient will be analysed, as well as Japan and Sweden as donors looking specifically at the concept of ownership, partnership and institutional change.

Besides, yours full of s*** bro.
I used to work at GStop and my brother does currently. If either of us EVER pulled anything like telling a customer NOT to preorder something we'd be fired faster than you can say Xbox.
Obviously a troll topic, anyone who doesn't believe me is free to call their local GStop.

thing is...he is recommending another product that is also available for preorder. My Gamestop does this occasionally in that they will recommend one platform over another (as far as games) simply because he is giving me some friendly advice. He isn't telling me NOT to purchase, he is simply recommending a similar purchase. The store gets a sale regardless.

mrivera889 posted...
Personally speaking I'm indifferent with GameStop so I never had any qualms with the franchise but I will say that this is a wise decision to do TC. However I do still see GameStop selling the systems and the games but simply not allowing Xbox One games to be traded or Sold to the Store but will still sell used/refurbished Xbox One Consoles.
i dont work for a gamestop, but i do know the prices for other small retailers (im assuming gamestop gets their stuff a bit cheaper, as they buy in huge bulk, where smaller stores wont order as much)
the reason used games are so important,.. they make between 4 and 9 dollars on new games (xbox 360 is usually around 7, 3ds around 5, etc etc )..
systems... like., 4 dollars for an xbox 360?
accessories is about a 20-30% mark up on average but varies.
thats to keep prices competitive with others.
in other words.. selling one used copy of call of duty black ops 2 makes the store about 2-3 times as much money as selling a new copy.
the amount of volume in new games that would have to be sold to make up for the loss of used game sales would be crazy..
not to mention, used game trade ins allow a store to shift product easier, as the credit is used towards other merchandise in the store.

Sounds like someone should be fired for not doing their job properly. It isn't a price gun jockey's job to make purchase decisions for customers.
I'm not here for friends. I'm here for the truth to the best of my knowledge of it, even if it's not what people want to hear.

Gamestop is a business to make money, why are you even working there ifyour going to not bring money in for the company?
i really doubt somebody making minimum wage cares about the company they work for regarless of what company it is. i was a supervisor at a Kohls and guess what? even making way more than minimum wage i didnt care about its profits. turns out im only there to get paid. belive it or not but companies dont care about their employees. they will fire you in a heart beat without a care. so you should give them the same respect back.
i know first hand how it works. we were told NOT to hire full time employess so we dont have to provide benifits. and when the minimum wage went up we cut hours. so keep that in mind the next time you try to talk smack to people like TC

I am a veteran of Gamestop 837. That will be relevant to anyone who actually works at a Gamestop and can look up store numbers, or anyone who actually shops there. Anyways, the attitude I developed after a year of working there, was I stopped caring about what other people played and bought. I don't make any additional money by swaying people's purchases to match my world view. I was already forced to talk people in to subs and reservations. I didn't want to push my own ideology on top of that.
If someone wanted to buy a Playstation 2 (I didn't like that system for a long time), I didn't try to tell them about how much better an Xbox or GC were. Now if I am asked, I'll be as honest and objective as possible. But if I am not asked, of what consequence is it to me that a customer buys one product and not the other?

In this short article we will certainly look at some factors for playing music tools. It is claimed that playing musical instruments has a therapeutic impact on the mind. You have to allot time daily to practice, technique, and also further method. While many people goof around enjoying TV and Gossiping, you need to establish that time aside to practice on your selected instrument.
When you listen to soft relaxing music, it can de stress and anxiety lots of people. All of us need days when we should just rest and soothe our minds. Life could be chaotic as well as demanding. Nevertheless, when you achieve this, you could have an overwhelming feeling of success and also complete satisfaction. Playing musical instruments opens several possibilities which can just be a positive point including being able to play in a function band. If you're aiming to find out a tool by yourself, start playing with other individuals to learn as high as you can around playing in a team, having fun with the appropriate method, and also developing great habits.
The first tool is frequently a music keyboard. Ask your college music instructor for suggestions, since a few of the very low cost key-boards are really minimal. This can be a major inspirational element, so it is a great idea to go with the kid's suggestions, at the very least initially. It's not everything about comedy sounds as well as the motif tune from Jonny Briggs, right. Likewise, lots of colleges can assist with rentals for households with economic troubles.
Lots of youngsters may locate it simpler to play woodwind tools like a clarinet than brass instruments like trumpets and also trombones. There are more expert violinists compared to gamers of any other instrument. Acquiring a violin is a difficult service.
You could get a violin for much less than 70 bucks on the web. Footwears are created to be utilized as well as gotten rid of when they wears. The 70 buck violin over ought to simply be discarded. Cost is absolutely linked with tonal high quality. You will certainly observe differences between the different tools. Music training will attune the youngster's ear to any type of deficiency in the tool you purchase, and this will certainly diminish the satisfaction he or she gains from playing it.

text: Hi there. I found this site in my pursuit to build an electric assisted bike. Some backround on me: I've been into cycling/racing for the past 9 years since I was a teenager. I do a lot of road biking and some mtn biking now. I finally made the jump to tinker with an old mtn bike and strap on an electric motor, to save some gas going to work and mainly to just have some more relaxed fun. For some of you unfamilar with power/speed requirements, I can tell you that if you get aero/lightweight, you can go 25mph or so on ~350watts. Well, that''s for a road racing cyclist. 35mph takes me about 800watts once I get up there. 6% grade uphill at 30mph = only 1400watts. I have a powertap powermeter that accurately measures watts. This is all dependant on an efficient gear ratio though. If you have a 2hp engine, it's not going to put out 2hp at lower rpms up a hill. Point is, if you get light and aero enough, and are on an efficent machine like a road bike with high pressure tires, you can go considerably faster that what most of you are familar with. Comfort is an issue though. Anyway, my project I am starting when the parts arrive is this. Bought 2 12v 17ah SLA batteries and a small 24v 350watt motor. With proper gearing this motor will perform better than what most people would expect. (For example, if I put out 100% effort sprinting in a huge gear on my road bike, I might only produce 1000watts. But if I am in the correct gear, that same effort will get me 1700-1900w. With this in mind, you can see how important gearing and possible multiple gears are.) I plan on doing a straight up circuit with an on/off switch, no controller. Since the motor is only 350watts, I really hope this is not a problem, concerning the electrics? (I have no problem with ride/speed wise with this type of on/off function.) I would think that a controller would end up soaking up power and decreasing efficiency. My total cost should only be $150, (excluding the bike which I already have.) I going for pure simplicity and low cost on this setup. I will still pedal the bike on hills and starts, but I wanted the electric motor to take the bulk of the work on my relatively flat commute to work. I can't wait to get started on it! :grin:

Fox 2000 has picked up the movie rights to Robert Grais' novel Suspect.
In the crime thriller an LAPD cop partners up with an Afghanistan war veteran to solve the murder of his partner. The twist: the war veteran is a German Shepard suffering from PTSD!
What sounds like a dark mixture of Lethal Weapon and K-19 (or Turner & Hooch depending on your 1980s dog/buddy cop movie loyalty), isn't the only movie in which the apparently culturally relevant war trauma of dogs gets it due.
Max, based on a true story, will be a family adventure centering the friendship between a boy and, you guessed it, a German Sheppard suffering from PTSD.
The movie will be directed by Remember the Titans filmmaker .
I generally hate GIFs but this whole PTSD dog phenomeon calls out for one I think:

Screen door roller replacement
A quick learner from USA says:
October 12, 2015
Watched a You tube video clip by your company but it seems i have an older style roller mechanism (at screen top) to replace; any advice?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Paul from SWISCO responded:
October 13, 2015
Thanks for posting, Rich. You might have something like our 84-137 corner roller. To replace it, first turn the top two adjusting screws counter clockwise to lower the wheel. Then, remove the screen wire at the upper part of the door and lightly tap out the rail. Now you should be able to remove the corner wheels to see if our 84-137 is a match.

Please tell me I'm not the only one to make this Newbie mistake!
So my first road bike. .and also.. my first clipping pedals.
My feet are clipped, I'm getting used to the pedals.. Then.. I decide to come to a stop and get off my bike. I FORGET TO CLIP OFF MY PEDALS. Down I go, falling on my left side with my brand new bike!
2 minutes later, same situation! Please tell me others also made this mistake when first using clip pedals? HAHA! :roflmao2:
Welcome to the forum.
You are not alone by a long shot.
Clip out well before coming to a stop.
It gets better with practice.
Been There, Done That. Consider it a right of passage. Almost everyone transitioning to clipless has the dreaded 'Zero mph' fall.
It usually happens when you have an audience to enjoy the show. Hopefully your incident was at least private. :)
Welcome to the forums!
:lol: It happens to everyone. You have to re-train your brain --> hmm, thinking about stopping, unclip the foot I want to put down, brake, stop, done.
you don't think that you can stop without putting your foot down, the problem is you forget to rotate your foot. So you try to slide it off the pedal and end up losing your balance.
It happens most often when you have to make a sudden unexpected stop. You dont have to unclip before you stop, you just have to learn to twist you foot to put you foot down. In the days of toe-clips you had to learn to pull you foot up and back. Having toe clips on one bike and clipless on another bike is really difficult.
<-- heres a unicyclist thats fairly well coordinated thats done that several times. It takes time to learn to unclip. Don't sweat it. Once you get it in your head you'll find youself 'unclipping' from things like chairs and cars, etc. :) :)
I only know one person that hasn't done a clipless zero speed fall, and that's my wife. Then again, she rides a recumbent trike. :p I've had it happen a couple of times. Once when I first got them after using toe clips and straps for nearly 30 years, and the second was while showing off and transitioning to riding backwards on my fixed gear from a trackstand and screwed up. :p
It's a rite of passage. But ... twice in two minutes ... you must be studying for the cycling priesthood.
Twice the first week, and almost once more the first time after a layoff.
I am the self professed world champion dork at falling over becuase I didn't unclip. I must have fallen at least a dozen times before I really got it down. Once I cracked 2 ribs. I couldn't sleep on that side for 4 months but I was only off the bike for 4 days. Every little bump or pebble was a teeth gritter on those sore ribs.
I confess the above so you'll feel better. It is unlikely you can be as bad as I was at first. Now it is totally unconcious.
My wife never fell once either. Is it a female advantage?
It's been close though.
Yes, yes you are. Now take yourself to Foo for the proper written and verbal abuse. :lol:
I have NEVER fallen down from my clipless pedals. Or atleast that what I vowed. The funny thing is for the first 3 months I *didn't* fall down. Then I became careless and fell 9 times over the following 3 months. But I haven't fallen since (due ot the pedals anyway).
Happened to me at a busy intersection, so I'm sure a lot of people had a good story to tell when they got home. I usually unclip my right foot when I stop, but at this intersection there's a curb on the left side (one of those traffic islands). I decided to unclip my left foot to rest on the curb, but the message was lost somewhere between my brain and my foot. This was my first and only time I've done this. Like others have said, unclip well in advance of stopping.
The solution is to get up and yell at the bike, like it was totally his fault! LOL...welcome to the gang! :D
My big moment came in the Five Boro Bike Tour in NYC. We had to stop at one point b/c of congestion ahead, and as I fell left I started a chain reaction of about a dozen people. Oops.
I take my dog with me so I have to watch for traffic and make sure she is not going to dart out. So, here comes a car and I get ready to call the dog back and get her under control. As I watch the dog and car and clip out on the right side..I get off balance to the left and down I go. What do you think the guy in the car thought as he passed?
my count is on 6 or 7 :(
i get out of balance and fall to the wrong side with one foot unclipped fairly often but I usually manage to save myself from falling
still looks ridiculous though :D
a friend's dad (in his mid-fifties) came with us on his first try of new clipless pedals. when he fell at the first set of lights, the people in the car behind thought he'd had a heart attack!
Every purchase of clipless pedals comes with three free falls...
I always tell clipless newbies to go to a flat park with grass so they don't hurt themselves when they fall.
They are all just saying this to make you feel better. Yes, you are the only one to have ever made that mistake!
Once the weather improves, I'm going out on my first clip-less adventure...maybe I'll post pictures of the battle wounds!
Why don't women have as many problems with clipless as us guys?
Because women can multi-task, we cavemen aren't very good at that!
I don't know what everyone is talking about. I think they are just trying to make yo ufeel better, electron. I have never made that rookie mistake....lol!
Welcome to the club!

JBR is excited to report on our inside look at the Perfect Game Series Classic in Fort Myers, Florida. Our week during summer 2016 was spent participating in this invite only tournament, the goal of which is to gather the absolute best talent in the country at a given age group and showcase their skills against one another. Our age group was 11U, and consisted of 9 teams split geographically. This series has become, arguably, a mecca for scouts (both professional and collegiate) to observe the best pre-collegiate talent in the country.
(See Day 1, Day 2 (Pitch Smart), Day 3 & 4, And Day 5 Recommendations)
Perfect Game Classic Set Up: The Travel Begins
We thought it might be helpful, at least for some considering the experience, to document our day to day experience. Helpful in part because, coming from the West Coast, we could find very little information—even on the perfectgame.org site—as it relates to what to expect.
We knew there we would be some baseball games, sure, but we had several questions: How legit is the competition? How competitive are the games? How much free time should we expect during the week? Can we compete on the team at the positions we wanted? How are the officiating, facilities, and gear? How much focus is on player development? And many others.
All these questions we had virtually no answer for when we boarded our plane in San Francisco on a red eye to the Sunshine State. But answers would come, and over the next several days' posts, you will find them here. (Day 2)
Perfect Game Classic Set Up: The Set Up
We landed in Orlando, because flights were considerably cheaper, and drove the 3 hours to Fort Myers. We stayed in a local hotel about 10 minutes from the game fields. The set up for baseball in the area, thanks to the massive Spring Training facilities, is remarkable. Our opening ceremonies—including the Home Run Derby and speed contests—were held in the Boston Red Sox Spring Training facility (JetBlue Field). The pool play is set to be played in the Minnesota Twins complex (Century Link) and all of these facilities are within minutes of each other.
Day 1 consists of:
- a check-in where you get your gear
- several skill tests where the Perfect Game gets your metrics in the system
- a Home Run Derby
- a Speed test
- meeting your team and coach
- a dinner
- a fireworks show
We discuss them in more detail below.
Day 1 Morning Expectations: Gear Checks & Highlights
The highlights of the first day were getting our gear, meeting our week-long teammates on the Southwest team and watching the Home Run Derby. (We cover the Home Run Derby in this post). The gear, specifically, consisted of:
- Home and away jersey sets (shirt, pants)
- Belt
- Game socks
- Perfect Game helmet (no need to bring your own as we did)
- Rawlings gear bag (that could hold bats)
- Rawlings batting gloves
- Two "Series" sport shirts (Black and White)
- Work out shorts
- PG game hat
The lowlights were standing around for what felt like too long a time watching other players get evaluated. Those evaluations are necessary to document the players, for sure. But that didn't make it fun shagging balls with another 70 or so players who are also waiting for their 10 swings. Humidity, we might add, is foreign to those of us from the mountains—at least in these quantities.
No bats, at least at this age group, were provided. We brought our favorites (CF8, Easton Beast and Sam Wood Bat).
Day 1 Evening Expectations: Derby & Fireworks
After the check in and evaluation portions of the first day, we were given a few hours to get our stuff together, grab lunch off site and check in to our hotel. Then, about 6pm, we were back at the JetBlue park for the opening ceremonies. They consisted of a Home Run Derby, Speed Test, dinner and fireworks show.
Home Run Derby: Performance at the morning BP session determined the Home Run Derby participants. That evening, at the opening ceremonies, they competed against each other in a 10 swing contest for the most bombs. There were literally fireworks when the players hit balls over the fence. This was far and away the pinnacle of the first day (although the gear bags were pretty cool). There is a severe disparity in size between some 11 year olds and others, so this was an event for the bigger players.
Running Contest: During that morning skill test session, everyone is timed in a 30 yard dash. The times were recorded. Then, at the opening ceremonies, they called the top 30 or so times and had them race off individually for another time. Winners were announced on the spot. Less fun to watch than the Derby, and if your son isn't running in the event, there is even less to watch.
Fireworks: A legit 10 minute show worth the wait, at least we thought, at the JetBlue Stadium after the provided dinner on the first night.
Players are chosen for this event through a number of avenues. Many are selected through regional showcases (you can see some options here). At those events, stats are recorded and top performers receive an invite for the following year.
For others, a connection to the program through a coach or sponsor appears to be helpful in terms of access for consideration. Each region has their own director for the perfect game and, we are assuming here, consideration for an invitation comes through them.
Either way, around February candidates get an email with a link to register. They have about 30 days to complete that registration process (and pay their fee) or their invite will move to the next set of players on the list that, somehow or another, rank out below them.
How well does the Perfect Game do in getting the absolute best of the best at these tournaments? Well, for starters, we'd suggest our sample size is small. And our sampling of the 11U is not very fair for the Perfect Game. The 11U is likely the most difficult for them to determine. Players at this age are the most unknown and unwilling to travel across country. Yet, even considering the poor sample, we'd guess the same problems exist, at least to some extent, for every age group when it comes to determining the best.
Geography Problems
For starters, geography creates a bias that keeps some of the best out. The further away you live, the bigger these problems becomes. As an example, the 11U showcase we attended didn't have a single player from Las Vegas or Phoenix—two serious hot beds of high level baseball in the West. Yet players from Georgia and Florida, a drive's distance to Fort Myers, consist of more than 50% of the players. Clearly a geographical bias, and despite what some Mom tries to describe to you over dinner, baseball in Georgia just isn't that much better than everywhere else.
Money Problems
Further, access to these tournaments are anything but inexpensive. Yet, it's not only rich parents who have kids that are good at baseball. We can be sure the $600 registration fee and a week's travel expenses are serious barriers to entry for more than just a few. Throw in plane tickets and a week off of work and you see why they didn't have any takers from Vegas or Pheonix (or Southern California) to attend this year's 11U Classic.
Don't get us wrong, this doesn't mean the players participating aren't some of the best in the country. Our day one eyeball test shows there are some serious ballers here. Could they be among the very best? We'd guess some of them are. Others, not so much. But the restrictions of budget and distance create too big a bias to really think these are the 'best'. For no other reason then we like to throw out numbers, we'd guess, from the near 200 11U's here at the tournament, only 1 out of 5 would make a 9 team roster of the actual very best in the country.
