Dear Abby and Dr. Ruth can solve some of your problems, but they say all miles lead to Randy Petersen. Got a problem? Let him try and solve it, but please remember, lots of people have problems and just like at the deli counter, you might have to take a number. Have a question? Here's your chance to Ask Randy.
Here's what you asked and here's what the guru said:
Dear Randy,
Do you think the audit of frequent flyer programs started by the Democrat from Florida (Alan Grayson) will result in any benefit for frequent flyers?
Am I the only one a bit leery about asking government to step in to examine FFPs? What's your take on this?
- Jon
Randy replies:
Good question. I was recently approached by a staff member of Congressman Grayson's who it seems, has been a long-time reader of InsideFlyer and a "fan" (that's what they said) of my projects over the years. We'll feature an interview with him in the next issue. As for the audit: This makes about the umpteenth time that a person in a political office has lobbied for a look at frequent flyer program rules and procedures and my educated guess is that for the umpteenth time nothing will come of this.
Typically a call for an audit is the result of two factors: 1) the congressman didn't find award availability for himself or a member of his staff when they wanted to use their "personal" miles; 2) was the result of a complaint from an important constituent.
As for benefits for frequent flyers? There is a better chance for a success story for FFP members by battling things out in social media and small claims court. It will however be interesting to hear what the Congressman says when we chat.
I just read that Delta is doing away with the Round-the-World tickets starting Jan. 1, 2015. I've been saving up my miles for a ticket and now this? Is it coming from Delta or is this a move from SkyTeam? I thought you might have an insight into this that others might not have. I still have quite a few miles before I can redeem for the flights and am afraid I won't be able to get enough before the first of the year.
- Michelle S.
This is likely not a SkyTeam issue since even American AAdvantage discontinued their oneworld Explorer round-the-world awards back in April. It is likely a streamlining of SkyMiles since they are introducing one-way awards that will allow members to piece together a RTW award--though likely at a higher total award "price".
So, what to do? For your sake, I wish we could set the wayback machine to when Continental OnePass offered the ability for members to attach their miles to a specific award at the then current rate for redemption, even if the award later changed to require more miles. We liked that. But let's review your options.
- Award availability. Make sure your goals and timing for use of this award are reasonable.
- Real life. Do your current plans for 2015 allow you to take the time off and away from real life to enjoy the award? Please ... it is so not worth it to only go for a week.
- Where are your resources? Do not consider exchanging miles from other airline programs into SkyMiles just to bolster your account total. This is a common mistake when short for an award, burning miles at less-than-reasonable rates simply to meet an award deadline. Resources such as other credit card programs (American Express Membership Rewards) and hotel programs offer reasonable and standard methods to convert points into Delta SkyMiles.
- And I'm assuming you've taken advantage of all the financial offers from Delta that offer bonus miles to quickly add to your mileage account.
As mentioned, maybe you can still make this work after the RTW awards are gone--so never give up the dream.

Cake-Decorating Tips
Want to know the secret to beautifully decorated cakes? Follow this advice to create your own masterpiece.
Special Offers
Always place cake to be decorated on a serving platter with several narrow strips of waxed paper under the edges of the cake to protect the plate. When finished frosting, gently pull out the waxed paper.
Brush off any excess crumbs from the cake. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the entire cake to "set" the rest, then apply the final frosting and/or decorations.
Use paste food coloring to get the most vivid colors. Gradually add color to frosting with a toothpick.
Stand narrow end of decorating bag in measuring cup or drinking glass when filling. Fill bag halfway with frosting for easier handling. (Note: A sturdy self-sealing plastic bag makes a good substitute for a decorating bag.)
Hold decorating tip close to the surface of your cake and squeeze bag with even pressure. Use your other hand to keep bag steady.
Sweeten your baking with new gadgets that make pastries a cinch.

Magnesium (Mg) plays an essential role in supporting cognitive function and brain health. Preliminary research suggests that Magtein (magnesium L-threonate) may provide more magnesium to the brain than other forms of magnesium. It is theorized that this is the reason why Magtein was shown in preclinical studies to support healthy memory and learning as well as healthy brain synapse density in regions of the brain associated with memory. Leaders of the Wellness RevolutionSource Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula, now the industry's #1 immune support product. Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple, Mega-Kid Multiple, Inflama-Rest, the Skin Eternal line, Higher Mind, Essential Enzymes, Male Response, and more. Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, Source Naturals evaluates the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provides targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Source Naturals' line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms. Source Naturals nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for Wellness is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

Fed's Powell: Economy Needs To Tighten Up Before Rates Can Rise
Federal Reserve Governor Jerome Powell said on Friday that he wanted to see signs that the U.S. economy was tightening up before before interest rates could be raised.

The Fed hopes to end its stimulus programme for the U.S. economy by the end of the year, clearing the way for it to eventually raise interest rates.
Fed Officials Debate Timing Of Interest Rate Increases: WSJ
The Wall Street Journal has reported that a debate is intensifying among the Federal Reserve's regional bank presidents about whether to push interest rates up from zero sooner than planned because of recent improvements in the U.S. job market. Most Fed officials at June's policy meeting didn't see rate increases until 2015, according to projections made before the Labor Department reported on July 3 that the jobless rate fell to 6.1 percent in June.
Three Fed Banks Pushed Again For Discount Rate Hike: Minutes
According to minutes released on Tuesday, three regional Federal Reserve banks in September pressed again for an increase in the Fed's emergency lending rate ahead of last month's Fed policy meeting. Directors of the Dallas, Kansas City and Philadelphia Feds asked that the discount rate be raised by 25 basis points, to 1.0 percent, to reflect what they saw as improvement in the U.S. economy. The heads of those three banks are among the more hawkish on inflation at the U.S.
With Economy Hazy, Fed Is Unlikely To Shift Course
When Federal Reserve officials gather this week and Fed Chair Janet Yellen speaks with reporters, investors will be seeking clues to two big questions: When will the Fed finally start raising short-term interest rates?

Yet few expect to hear anything definitive. The Fed remains in a tentative wait-and-see stance.

The Federal Reserve has begun detailing how it plans to ease the U.S. economy out of an era of loose monetary policy, appearing near agreement on a three-pronged strategy to manage interest rates in the future, according to minutes of the last Fed policy meeting. The new reverse repo facility, which remains in test phase but is expected to be formally adopted, is designed to control cash held by money market funds and mortgage agencies that can't deposit money with the Fed, not just banks.

Liverpool could buy a cut-price Demba Ba - originally posted on Soccerlens.com Demba Ba could be sold to Liverpool or another side this January for a fee of less than £10 million. The Newcastle United striker is currently negotiating a new contract with the North East club but both parties have hit a stumbling block over wages. If Newcastle cannot get the matter sorted, they may be forced to sell him in January. Demba Ba has a buy out clause in his contract which states any club can buy his contract for a fee of £7.5 million. However, he has given no indication that he wants to leave Newcastle which gives them until at least the end of December to rectify the matter. Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has revealed that he is very confident that Demba Ba will sign a new deal with the club before the January transfer window opens. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has made it clear that he is actively looking to bring in another striker this January. He has revealed that there is a little ...

We present a framework for jointly optimizing the data center placement and network flow allocation in multi-service networks. The optimization is derived within a cost-performance formulation that aims at minimizing the overall operating cost of the network over which the services are provided, given a set of end-user performance requirements. The problem formulation represents a linear programming that is efficiently solved via a convex optimization technique that we design to this end. The generality of the formulation allows its application to other important problems, such as green networking and transportation of hazardous materials. We introduce the concept of cost performance versus service requirements lower-convex hull that can be employed to study the operational efficiency of various data center location and network flow allocation configuration points. We investigate the performance of the optimization framework via simulation experiments and compare its efficiency against two heuristic reference schemes. We demonstrate substantial operational cost savings or conversely service performance advances, for the same overall operating cost.

But with the announcement that DWTS is currently casting an all-star season, might Macchio be reaching for his dancing shoes once more?

Fran Drescher didn't have to look far for inspiration for her new TV Land show Happily Divorced, which premieres June 15. The sitcom, about a woman whose husband turns out to be gay, is actually based on her own experience.
After her marriage of 21 years ended, Drescher's husband, Peter Marc Jacobson, came out of the closet.
"He had already been living a gay life away from me after we divorced, and he said, 'I don't want you to be shocked. I'm dating men,' " the actress, 53, tells PEOPLE in its current issue, on stands now.

The former star of The Nanny – and inveterate New Yorker – wants to fill the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Hillary Rodham Clinton (who is leaving to become Barack Obama's Secretary of State).
New York Gov.

New York magazine quotes the actress as saying she's qualified for the job, as well as "an authentic and honest person."

Having enough food to eat is a problem facing 421,000 Iowans, not just people in the rest of the world, says Kimberly Greder, ISU Extension family life state specialist. These Iowans are food insecure — meaning they have difficulty getting nutritious, safe food in socially acceptable ways. One group, in particular, that is feeling the pinch is recent Latino immigrants. Greder is in the third year of a research project examining issues related to food insecurity and housing of 31 recent Latino immigrants in Buena Vista and Tama counties.
Respondents were predominantly Mexican mothers who had immigrated to the United States within the last 15 years, had children age 12 or younger, had incomes at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty line, spoke primarily Spanish and had not completed the equivalent of high school.
"Through in-depth interviewing of these mothers over time, and learning about the communities they live in and came from, we can develop a better understanding of how well Latino immigrant families are faring in Iowa, as well as the challenges they continue to face," Greder said. "Of the families involved in this study, nearly half were food insecure."
Also on the research team were ISU Extension education directors Rhonda Christensen and Franklin Albertsen; Steve Garasky, Chris Cook and Liz Ortiz from ISU Human Development and Family Studies; and two local Latino women who were hired and trained to conduct the interviews. For more information about this study and other food insecurity and hunger research, visit the Iowa Food Security, Insecurity and Hunger Web site.

Access to government information is about to get much easier, if the new president's early actions are any indication.
To the delight of open government advocates, President Barack Obama dedicated some of his first policy documents to those concerns.
The day after his inauguration, Obama signed an executive order imposing rules on presidential record-keeping and one that attempted to close the revolving door through which political appointees move back and forth between government and lobbying jobs. He also signed two open government memorandums and said more formal documents in those areas would be forthcoming.
"We are overjoyed and still stunned, I would say," said Meredith Fuchs, general counsel at George Washington University's National Security Archive, a group that has sued the Bush administration over its record-keeping practices and has litigation pending related to some of the many Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests it has filed.
"No president has ever made this an issue that he has spoken to on the first day," Fuchs said.
Advocates said Obama's action sent a strong signal that Obama's team heard and took seriously the suggestions that advocates had given.
The policy documents reflect many of those recommendations.
Obama said "information maintained by the federal government is a national asset" and that the administration would work to disclose information readily in forms that the public can use.
He also called for agencies to make use of collaborative tools to better engage citizens and non-governmental groups.
"All agencies should adopt a presumption in favor of disclosure," he said, directing the issuance of new FOIA guidelines to enforce that philosophy.
Patrice McDermott, director of OpenTheGovernment.org, said it will be interesting to watch how much information agencies make available, how timely and usable its release will be, and how far down the bureaucracy the changes will reach.
In separate news, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs announced that Obama will be able to use a super-secure handheld device to exchange e-mail messages with "senior staff and a small group of personal friends" under the presumption that "they're all subject to the Presidential Records Act."

What is important, what needs treating? How GPs perceive older patients' multiple health problems: a mixed method research study
1 Institute of General Practice, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany
2 Institute of General Practice, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg-Eppendorf, Germany
3 Institute of Biometrics, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany
4 Institute of Epidemiology, Social Medicine and Health System Research, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany
BMC Research Notes 2012, 5:443 doi:10.1186/1756-0500-5-443Published: 16 August 2012
GPs increasingly deal with multiple health problems of their older patients. They have to apply a hierarchical management approach that considers priorities to balance competing needs for treatment. Yet, the practice of setting individual priorities in older patients is largely unexplored. This paper analyses the GPs' perceptions on important and unimportant health problems and how these affect their treatment.
GPs appraised the importance of health problems for a purposive sample of their older patients in semi-structured interviews. Prior to the interviews, the GPs had received a list of their patients' health problems resulting from a geriatric assessment and were asked to rate the importance of each identified problem. In the interviews the GPs subsequently explained why they considered certain health problems important or not and how this affected treatment. Data was analysed using qualitative content analysis and quantitative methods.
The problems GPs perceive as important are those that are medical and require active treatment or monitoring, or that induce empathy or awareness but cannot be assisted further. Unimportant problems are those that are well managed problems and need no further attention as well as age-related conditions or functional disabilities that provoke fatalism, or those considered outside the GPs' responsibility. Statements of professional actions are closely linked to explanations of important problems and relate to physical problems rather than functional and social patient issues.
GPs tend to prioritise treatable clinical conditions. Treatment approaches are, however, vague or missing for complex chronic illnesses and disabilities. Here, patient empowerment strategies are of value and need to be developed and implemented. The professional concepts of ageing and disability should not impede but rather foster treatment and care. To this end, GPs need to be able to delegate care to a functioning primary care team.

I've been searching the web for a recipe to clone this beer and haven't had any luck. I was wondering is anyone had a recipe for this beer or could point me in the right direction.
Count me in... I can't help with a recipe but would love to find one.
I would recommend emailing founders - their head brewer Jeremy Kosmicki is extremely helpful and shares his recipes quite often. That's one of the reasons Founder's is my favorite brewery - that and all their beer is really stellar!
Did anyone ever send an email? Any updates??
Does anyone have the brewers email I would love to ask a few questions?
Could anyone help me translate those tips from Jeremy into a workable recipe? I've brewed with a Kit several times, and I'd like to try this Pale ale as my first all-grain.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Not sure if this thread is completely dead, but based on what Jeremy shared and the stats from the bottle I'm sipping now (5.4% ABV and 35 IBUs), I think this should get you pretty close:
5 Gallon Batch figured at 72% efficiency:
Mash at ~150F:
8 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row)
12.8 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine
6.4 oz Caramunich I (Weyermann) (51.0 SRM)
6.4 oz Munich (Cargill)
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 60.0 min
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 30.0 min
1.0 pkg American Ale (Wyeast Labs #1056) (a starter might be a good idea)
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Dry Hop 10.0 Days
1.00 oz Crystal [3.50 %] - Dry Hop 10.0 Days
By my calculations this should finish at 5.5% and 32.8 IBUs. The malt ratios are all according to Jeremy's specifications. If anyone brews this let me know how it comes out, please!

The line-item veto:
1 feotakahari, Sun, 1st Jan '12 10:23:22 PM from Looking out at the city
Fuzzy Orange DoomsayerFirst, an introduction to the history of the concept in the United States. There've been a lot of bills lately that were routine except for one ugly clause, so I'm starting to think it might be worthwhile to call for a Constitutional amendment to allow line-item vetoes. How bad would the downsides of the veto be, and if the good outweighs the bad, how hard would it be to get the amendment ratified?

DecemberistBleh. I think the line-item veto is a cool idea that would fail hard in real life due to abuse. Like the filibuster, actually...

3 Ace of Spades, Sun, 1st Jan '12 10:41:28 PM from The Wild Blue Yonder Relationship Status: Yes, I'm alone, but I'm alone and free
Yeah, it probably would be subject to abuse. But the thing is, with Congress's recent history and increasing abuse of adding in completely unrelated shit that nobody wants to veto because the actual bill is something that needs to be passed/would make them look bad to veto, the line item veto might be a necessary power to give to the president. I mean, we either need the president to have this power or we need to nullify Congress's ability to add in entirely unrelated things to bills, because this shady bullshit is doing us all harm. Good luck getting Congress to give the President the power to actually punch them in the balls like that, though.
With such a deadlocked and problematic Congress, I think it would help. And I don't agree with separation of powers argument that says "the president is not a legislator" - executive and legislative branches in US are meant to work together on the same issues. The main issue is implementation. What counts as a proper line-item delete? How do we decide?
5 Oh So Into Cats, Sun, 1st Jan '12 11:53:08 PM from The Sand Wastes Relationship Status: Showing feelings of an almost human nature
It should be something like things that are not outlined in the bill's main purpose can be subjected to vetoing — pretty much, anything that could be considered a rider.

But that's highly subjective and open to interpretation. We're going to have court cases over just passing bills. I think to implement a proper line-item veto, Congress and president need adopt a new standard for the structure of a bill. Also, to prevent abuse, it should have some sort of conditions of what can be vetoed or not.

7 Oh So Into Cats, Sun, 1st Jan '12 11:57:47 PM from The Sand Wastes Relationship Status: Showing feelings of an almost human nature
Can't a line-item veto work like a regular veto, in which case you follow normal override procedures to get it put back into the bill? Or did it previously work like that? Though I think if there was a way to make it so "anything that's a rider can be struck down" in a way that's not terribly confusing, it would really clean up US politics. Because, you know, it makes sense. NDAA is essentially the military budget, so anything that is not military budget in the bill should be able to be line-item vetoed, but any quibbles with the actual budget would need a complete veto.

Well, if there's a way to set the standards correctly, I see this happening. A president vetoes certain parts of the bill, with given reasons. Congress can then do the following:

If neither of those happens, then you're not dealing with clever politicians at all. Anyway, what's the pocket veto again and how is it different from a line item veto?
A pocket veto is when the president does not respond to a bill. The president can just decline to act without signing or vetoing. If Congress is still in session, the bill is auto-approved. If Congress adjourns, it's the opposite; the bill dies. The two branches sometimes fought over this technicality. The pocket veto is absolute; if the Congress adjourns, it's not there to vote for overriding veto. To put it another way, since Congress has decided to end its activity, the auto-approval does not count.

How bad would the downsides of the veto be, and if the good outweighs the bad, how hard would it be to get the amendment ratified?The Supreme Court previously declared presidential line item vetoes unconstitutional, so I'd say it would be extremely unlikely. Personally, I think restoring the line item veto is the wrong solution to the problem of politicians attaching unrelated crap (riders) to important bills. The problem isn't that the president can't do anything about the riders. The problem is the riders themselves. If you eliminate riders, then you solve the problem without getting into an thorny constitutional issues about presidential power.
My comics blog Sporking The Host Because Twilight's been done to death
I don't know about line-item veto, but you can have line-item voting. That's how it works in Canada, hence the lack of riders. If you tag on an addendum, people can treat them as such, so you gain zero value from making a bill bill rider.

14 Deboss, Mon, 2nd Jan '12 5:10:56 PM from Awesomeville Texas
I see the Awesomeness.@ Lady Momus, that's why the amendment would have to be ratified.
15 Lawyerdude, Wed, 4th Jan '12 11:25:31 AM from my secret moon base
CitizenI used to support the line-item veto, but I don't anymore. Basically we have separation of powers and checks & balances in the government. Congress drafts and passes legislation, and the President gives a yes or no. Giving the President authority to only approve parts of a bill would essentially turn the office into a third house of Congress. If there were a line-item veto, I can easily see a friendly Congress passing a huge mess of a bill and handing it to the President with a pen, saying "pass what you want". In short, it would give the President far too much power.
What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.
What about line-item voting in congress? I would prefer that over any sort of change of the presidential veto power.
17 Lawyerdude, Thu, 5th Jan '12 9:22:19 AM from my secret moon base
CitizenThey have line-item voting, of a sort. Committees add and remove bits of a bill until it gets to the form they like, and then the whole chamber can make amendments if they want to. It's only when the bill gets to the final version that they're not allowed to make any further changes.
What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.
But wasn't that the entire issue with the NDAA?

I'm convinced that our modern day analogues to ancient scholars are comedians. -0dd1
Well in that case, I doubt any sort of legislative power changes are going to fix the problem if congress is just plain not doing its job.

CitizenWhen bad laws get passed, it's the fault of Congress and the President. And by extension it's the fault of the American people for voting them into office.

And by extension it's the fault of the American people for voting them into office.
"Shit, our candidate is a psychopath. Better replace him with Newt Gingrich."
Well while I sometimes like to lay blame on the American people it's mostly that I find it is politicians driving voter demand rather than the other way around. People assume too much about democracy. The right and the act of voting does not make a democracy. It's everything else. That's why all of America's attempts at bringing democracy to other places were just fundamentally flawed. They'd have flashy photo ops about "this man voted!" when it's totally meaningless. He just voted for some dirtbag drug lord that the US paid off to not kill people for a month. Yay! Congress voting and presidential line-item veto is not really the solution. The problem is a congress that is fundamentally detached from the concerns of the public. The welfare of America is only loosely correlated with the rise and fall of a politician's career. What truly matters?
24 Lawyerdude, Tue, 10th Jan '12 11:37:39 AM from my secret moon base
CitizenAmericans seem to have this idea that every elected official is corrupt or incompetent, except for the ones that they themselves voted for. As a result, the same people keep getting elected even in bad times, since it's always "somebody else's fault". But then you also have people who have demanded laws that further restrict the powers of the legislature. For example, a huge chunk of the Federal budget is non-discretionary. Earlier congresses passed certain entitlement programs, and Congress isn't allowed to just defund them without passing a whole separate law. As a result, it's even harder to pass large, desperately-needed reforms.
What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.

Leaving Guatemala we headed to Honduras and the beautifulCaribbean beaches where we sipped Pina Coladas and tried to remember the words to the Pina Colada song.
We spent a couple of days on the volcanic island of Ometepe, skinny-dipping in Lake Nicaragua under a full moon. And yes Lake Nicaragua being the only place in the world where freshwater sharks live... but as I said to Maggie, after the bloody bears in Alaska, nothing can frighten me.
From there we went to a beach in southern Nicaragua where we had been told that turtles come ashore seven times year to lay their eggs, amazingly we were there at the right time, well, hundreds of them were on the beach and we had trouble trying to swim in the sea as they were all surfing in on the waves {they weigh more than I do, so potentially they are fairly dangerous}. Later that night Maggie was awoken by one hitting her repeatedly with its flippers through the tent as it was trying to dig a hole. Hmm, perhaps we were a bit close to the beach...
We are now in Panama, where the traffic police are the worst I have ever seen, they are also incredibly numerous. Each time we get pulled over I hiss at Maggie to quickly get her helmet off (she's a blonde and it seems to work every time). Maggie insists they just want a closer look at our newly revamped map of the world outlined on the back of the top box with true artistic style.
We have spent the past couple of days on the Pacific Ocean, body surfing and sipping more drinks whilst watching the most spectacular sunsets. But, we have to keep moving on, I think we have the only bike with two bikinis constantly hanging off the back, drying in the sun as we sing Elvis Presley songs into our Madonna style intercom system.
Maggie reluctantly leaves in two days time to go back to her job and a real life in Ireland. I'll be heading to Ecuador next week (look out Ricardo) as Tiberio thinks I shouldn't be heading into Colombia at the moment. I'll let you know how I get on with the shipping agents..."
I was on my way to an airport again, as Maggie, who had crossed Africa with me was flying into Guatemala City from Ireland for a month of riding through Central America. She looked very relieved to see me waiting for her - the last she had heard I was still in California and partying a bit.
Maggie and I had previously crossed Africa together on Thelma so she was ready for anything including the hell raising ride out of Guatemala City in the dark. We stayed in Antigua, Guatemala for a week, attending Spanish school; I took Thelma in one day for a lesson on the Spanish words for the bike parts. A Cuba Libre or two was also part of the educational experience!! The national drink and an essential part of our Guatemalan experience or so everyone assured us.
We explored the countryside around Antigua and headed out to Lake Atitlan, and had a memeorable day with our friend Tobias on Thelma with us - the local guys just stared at Tobias, riding through town with two chicas on one bike. I should add that it is actually quite comfortable on Thelma with three people (as long as none of them are fidgeters) and we had previously travelled three-up for a couple of days in India.
We explored Guatemala, going first to Tikal to see the Mayan ruins in the jungle, we camped close to the ruins, and as the night drew in the mysterious jungle noises started up around us increasing in volume and intensity, or was that just the disco in the distance?
Thelma was finally ready, one last evening at the George and Dragon for me and I was off - following the coast through Washington and Oregon - stunning coastline and a road that was made for bikes. The forest fires were going full-swing but I managed to avoid them. I reached San Francisco where there was a warm welcome from my friends there, they had been following my travels avidly and now, Janet (my friend´s Mum) spoke up, she said she wanted a bit of adventure in her life and so I invited her to join me for the trip down into Mexico.
She borrowed her son´s leather jacket and, at the age of 62, Janet climbed on the back of Thelma for her first ever motorcycle journey - a mere 2600 miles!!
We had a ball together - Yosemite Park, Death Valley - not such a good idea in August wearing black leathers, Las Vegas and across the border into Mexico. Janet even slept out in the open for the first time when we ended up in small town Baja where the town had shut down for the season and nowhere was open.
We took the ferry from La Paz in Baja to Mazatlan on the mainland and then I dropped Janet off in Puerto Vallarta where she was greeted with astonishment by her friends there - fellow retirees in condominiums. I enjoyed a spot of luxury for a day and then set off once more on my own - it was back to rough camping from here on.
The ride through Mexico was great, except for those bloody topes. At first I was riding along wondering what topes are as there was a sign warning about them the next thing I knew, bang I had hit a speed bump, ahh, so that's what topes are. Believe me, there are a lot of them in Mexico and not all of them are marked.
I was spending the night in a variety of places. When the sun set I would stop at the nearest pueblo and say who I was and where I was travelling, explaining that I needed somewhere to camp, often this would mean that I would be given pride of place on someone's patio, (yes, in my tent with Thelma alongside). One time though, in Chiapas, they decided it was too dangerous for me to camp out like that and assigned me an armed guard, who happened to be stationed on the garage forecourt where I had to go and camp. I think I was more at risk from his amorous advances than from any guerilla activity.

American Cancer Society Relay For Life campus events serve as a powerful way for you to raise awareness and funds in the fight against cancer, from helping people facing the disease in your community to ensuring cancer is a thing of the past for future generations. The Relay For Life movement features campus and community events that offer an opportunity to honor the cancer survivors in your life, promote how you can reduce your cancer risk, and raise money to help find a cure. Today, with the support of thousands of student volunteers, the American Cancer Society is helping save more than 400 lives a day. And we won't stop until we end cancer once and for all!
Remember or honor a loved one who has battled cancer with a luminaria tribute bag >>

Product Reviews
Good quality, color wayyy off
This is a beautiful ottoman and the perfect height to sit in front of a chair, it's sort of small though. The color is wayyy off!!! In the picture it's sort of a beige color (which I was hoping for) but when it arrived I noticed it appeared to be a very dark, awkward color (almost a mustard yellow, and very shiny/glittery) I don't feel like hassling to return by mail so I'll just have to make it work
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Terribly
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good quality
- Would you recommend this to a friend? No
