"Human experiments in Zimbabwe. An Australian farmer's death. A Sydney CEO's suicide. These events are linked in the mind of one woman, Serena Swift, a ballsy advertising director with a guilty conscience, when she decides to take on one of the world's most powerful producers of genetically modified food, Gene-Asis. Serena disguises herself to infiltrate Gene-Asis in an attempt to expose the company's horrific genetic experiments. But suddenly Swift's informants disappear, she is hunted by a hired killer, and framed for murder. Chased from Sydney to New York, she must face the man she fears most, on his own turf. If she fails, nothing can stop a global catastrophe. And nobody can help her - except a dead man. "

Saturday I went to visit my sister in law. The one who was recently diagnosed with ALS after a long search for answers. I really wanted to see for myself how she was doing, and the answer to that is that she is bearing up with her usual strength and humor, appreciating all the help that she receives and doing all that she can. You can tell she still has her sense of humor because her immediate response to, "How are you?" on the phone was a dry and witty, "Peachy, just peachy!"
Her eyes still sparkle. She is in the "shock and awe" response to her diagnosis, but says she doesn't know what she was thinking in trying to teach this year. She said she was unable to recognize how unrealistic that was until she tried. She also said she thinks she probably shouldn't have been teaching last year, she required so much assistance.
Nonetheless, it is her calling, and what does one do? A year ago she / her doctors did not know what the problem was. The symptoms were there, but as with many, there is overlap among various ailments in symptoms.
I came home and started working on the house... T-day minus 3 and counting. And my program kind of fell apart, and still isn't back. I have decided to cut myself a break this week... I know we're not supposed to let our workouts slide, but... time is the ultimate limited resource. I had to talk myself out the door for work this morning... but once I was there I was OK.
The gals at work have larger groups and longer events for turkey day than I do... one has 19 people descending on her house to stay for 3 days. Another has 24 for dinner. I feel just about right with my 11 who will bring food and take it away. All I have to do is shovel out the house to my own level of "OK".
The family have much to be grateful for, with the one sister off her radiation now and recovering well, and another just having dropped her meds, and a brother in law having got off his diabetes meds. It does help to remember why we ARE on programs. It's not to be "skinny" or "small" or even "sexy"... it is to be the healthy human beings we were designed to be.
And that, my Sparkling friends... is a lot to be grateful for!
One of my favorite Spark calendar quotes is the one by George Sheehan, that says "Everyone is an athlete. The only difference is that some of us are in training and some are not." I was intrigued enough to look him up on Google, and I find that George Sheehan was a runner and a writer about running, among other things. Here's the Wikipedia entry I found.
What brought it to mind was a conversation that started at the gym last night. Being about a day behind in my training cycle, I was climbing on a spin bike on a night when there were no classes. As I started to crank up, a young man in one of the trainer shirts came up, pointed at my Mud Run t-shirt and asked whether I had participated in that run.
Of course I was happy to tell him that I did, and discovered that he, a personal trainer there at the gym, had also done the Mud run. In his case, it was in a banana suit (as part of one of those 3-person tied together teams). We ended up chatting for most of my workout, as I cranked the resistence up or down, stood on the pedals and dripped sweat.
We talked of athletic dreams. He pointed out one of the guys on a treadmill in the cardio theater and told me this gent was working on running a marathon in every state, and was up to something like 28 states. I had seen said gent in the weight room, pumping some serious iron. Matter of fact, most of the time when I'm in the free weights room, most of the folks around me are sweaty men, lifting serious iron. Hmmm. I must look pretty silly with my little dumbbells and lighter settings on the cable machine. But I do it.
Ryan (that's the trainer's name) tells me that he, too, is looking to do triathlons. He is doing a half Ironman distance one. He advised me to practice transitions, especially from bike to run, as one's legs get fatigued and it is a different motion... takes a bit to get your running legs under you. Good advice. I felt like I got some free training tips.
I came home to Spark after my workout and found someone else bubbling in her blog about how good it felt to been perceived as an athlete... and into my brain pops this quote. Her point was that she didn't do anything particularly dramatic to become an athlete. She just started being more active and making better choices in her eating... she started Sparking! This is open to everyone.
I agree. We won't all be stars on the track. Some of us may be limited by conditions beyond our control. But we can all become the best us we can be. And what I am finding is that the effort is what is respected by those stars... the kids who are winning the golds respect the back of the pack who are out there putting forth the effort! I don't think I ever "got that" as a kid who was picked last for sports teams. Maybe it is that all of us have matured since then.
Here is to the community of athletes... to the respect we bear one to another... and that "we" includes every one of you reading this, whether you know it or not... at the beginning of your journey, nearing the end, in maintenance, or even backsliding. Just for today, keep a training promise to yourself. You're worth it!
Life's good. Spark on!
We all live on budgets, right? Losing weight usually means some of our wardrobes become, uh, "loose". But, not being infinitely wealthy, it takes time to replace them. Priorities being what they are, the work wardrobe comes first. The workout wardrobe helps support staying the new size, so it's up there, too. (Doesn't have to be fancy, but *does* have to not get in the way!)
Undies? Essential! Clothing for special events (like weddings)... just has to be fit in.
The last domino to fall for me? Sleepwear! Two years ago, when I had the parathyroid surgery, I bought a pair of pajamas that fit me THEN. But I dropped another 25 pounds in the next year. And I hadn't bought a new robe... I was still slopping around in one that had belonged to my mother (she's been gone 15 years now... you get the idea). It too had become far too large for my shrinking frame.
I'll be celebrating another trip around the sun in a few days. Yesterday was mom's birthday. How appropos that the package from L. L. Bean arrived yesterday... flannel p.j.'s, a new robe, and fleece lined slippers. I tried them on... they are "small"... and they fit. When I woke this morning and found that I didn't have to cinch in the drawstring... ahhh!
Yes, I feel pampered and rewarded. And this, too, is important to success in maintaining healthy habits.
Life's good... Spark on!
I had forgotten how HUGE a high a morning workout gives me. See those bubbles? Soda is NO match for endorphin bubbles.
A good night's sleep, a morning workout, and a healthy breakfast... I feel like the world is open and ANYTHING is possible. It does mess with the steel cut oats timing, though, so mornings I do this I will have to have different breakfast arrangements. This morning it was grape juice, a blueberry muffin (small) and skim milk.
No promises this will continue once the snow starts flying around here, but this morning? As a plan B? Um... I may have rediscovered an addictive practice.
Yesterday I wrote about keeping those small promises so we have the momentum to keep the larger ones. Today my after-the-work-day pep talk is about having a plan B, in case the prime objective gets derailed by what we sometimes refer to as "life happening".
I kept my promise to do a weight training workout after work yesterday. Today was the annual chili cookoff at work. I wasn't planning on having a competitive entry this year, but I couldn't really come up with a proper side dish to take in, either.
What I ended up taking as my contribution was a crock of split pea soup I made last weekend! Funny thing, many people saw the green pot, assumed it to be really spicy, and didn't interpret it as split pea soup at all. Some didn't even try it. Still, it got eaten, which was the goal.
Tonight I was going to swim after work... but as I drove toward the gym it became apparent to me that this was probably not the best way to spend the immediate after work hour on chili cookoff day. 'Nuff said. I came home. Glad I did because one of the kittens had managed to trap herself in the bathroom with the litter box, by closing the door (probably chasing a jingle ball) essentially trapping her brother OUTSIDE of the litter box room!
Which brings us to plan B. I am a classic morning person. The gym (and pool) opens at 5 a.m. Hee-hee. So, I have now packed tomorrow's breakfast AND lunch, and am thinking early bedtime tonight, followed by early up and have breakfast after that swim... as a morning workout instead.
See? Plan B. Take care of those rocks. The pebbles and sand will take care of themselves.
Life's good. Spark on!

I'm a bit of a mystery...even to myself!
I'm still trying to figure myself out...I guess I'm what you call a square peg and that won't fit into the round hole. I do know one thing though...I find myself drawn to inspiring people and ideas, to spirituality, to empowerment/leadership issues and everything in between! And since life is a priceless gift with an expiry date, I've made a conscious decision to spend majority of my time learning about and persuing my passions/interests (as diverse as they may be)...because anything less would be living a half lived life.
When I look at people, especially young women, I look for that spark in their eyes when they start to talk about their dreams, their famalies, and their interests. And I want them to sincerely know that if they can dream it, than they can do it. I love to be a part of the process that helps them tap into their inner greatness or what I like to call their inner goddess!
I look forward to learning from all of the talented goddesses here at PulseWire!

Hi Elayne
Just a quick message to say a big THANK YOU for writing The Piercing Bible. I am still relatively new to the art and felt I wasn't getting enough information from my trainer. Needless to say, your book was a God-send. I'm halfway through and only got it three days ago! I have already applied some of your advice in my work with great success.
Thanks again!
I bought your book at amazon and am on page 28. I am glad to say that I am already enjoying your book. Very well put together. Looking forward to being friends in here. Oh. I've been piercing for 4 years now and tattooing for 5.
I received this message from a woman interested in getting a dangerous genital piercing:
I have been looking into a piercing for quite a while now, but it is a
rather rare one. I have asked two different piercers about it and was
refered to you.
I am told that you are one of the best and can give me
the best opinion/advice. While looking at genital piercings, I saw a
Nefertiti and I am now set on it. It is a combination of a christina and
a vertical hood. I need to know what you think of it and who you would
I am 98% positive I have correct anatomy for it however they
were both concerned about a flexible bar and the fact that it is so
long. My friends mom is an OR nurse and looked into the bar and said it
was alright. If you could look into it I would greatly appreciate it. I
have done some of my own before and could attempt it but am worried
about getting it straight and the correct needle and would rather have a
professional do it.
I know you are probably busy but this would mean a
lot to me as it is my "dream" piercing. If you could either tell me what
your opinion is or give me a number and times I could reach you it
would be awesome. If you do not want to I understand, but would like to
know that so I am not waiting for a reply. Thank you very much for your
Hi Z.,
Thanks for your email.
The reason I don't cover the Nefertiti or the Isabella piercings on my webpage is because I don't do them; I consider them too risky. (I do however, have an actual clitoris piercing, and will do those on women who are anatomically suited. I say this by way of explaining that it isn't just the intensity of the piercing itself that is my concern.)
One person who would know is professional body piercer Elayne Angel. Elayne is not only covered in various forms of ink and metal herself, but she is also one of the pioneers in professional body piercing, a field she personally helped expand decades ago. Elayne has served multiple terms on the board of the Association of Professional Piercers as an advocate for field safety, and her most recent project has been authoring The Piercing Bible, the definitive guide for consumers and professional body piercers.
After doing a lot of reading and talking my co-worker Nycole, I decided to pierce my PA. (This was her first.) Much of the information we read and studied came from you. This piercing has drastically changed my personal opinion on my body view. Your work means so much to me and even more so now. Thank you 1000 times over.
I just received this wonderful feedback from a reader on my Facebook page:
Hello Elayne, i have always been into body piercings and moodification since i was 14, i have had many done and always dreamed of being a piercer when i was older, i am now 23 and i have been offered an apprenticeship with a professional piercer in my home town. Your book was recommended to me by a friend's mother who is a nurse. I have read it twice now and just wanted to thank you for releasing an informative educational guide for piercees, piercers or people who are generally interested in body piercing. Keep up the good work and i hope many more books are sold.
"This is a must have for those who take piercings seriously, as well as a guide for the professional piercer. If you want to understand the dynamics of the whole piercing process, then this is the book for you. Varies as a guidance book which provides some history of various piercings as well as what to expect before , during and after."

hey JDS, MMA is not about opening any cuts or hitting like a man or a girl, is about winning fights…
oh by the way I dont remember you opening any cuts to Cain…
Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos got back into the win column in a big way when he knocked Mark Hunt out with an incredible spinning wheel kick at UFC 160. And now he's headed for arguably the biggest fight of his life when he faces Cain Velasquez in the main event of UFC 166.
The trilogy match will showcase dos Santos's chance at redemption after catching a thunderous right hand from Velasquez en route to losing the title in a one-sided affair at UFC 155.
However, dos Santos isn't giving much credit to the fight-changing punch that lead to his demise. He recently appeared on the Brazilian radio program Panico, and had an interesting take on the current champion's striking ability:
"I had no cuts against Cain Velasquez. And he hits like a girl. He hit me a lot during the five rounds, but did not open any cuts, although I was very bloated and had to go to the hospital."
While his comment may come as no surprise considering the murderer's row of power punchers that JDS defeated throughout his mercurial rise to king of the UFC heavyweight division, it is interesting in the sense that none of his previous opponents could even come close to damaging JDS on the feet. And he beat Shane Carwin, Roy Nelson, Hunt, Cro Cop, and Gilbert Yvel. That's quite the power-filled lineup right there.
Even though dos Santos may have emerged from his second bout with Velasquez without a cut on his face, post-fight photos would suggest that Velasquez definitely hits with some power. The champ has made a career of bouncing would-be title contenders' heads off the canvas with his brutal style of ground-and-pound.
Both come into the October bout with momentum, so it will be a tough match to predict. It may come down to who lands the first big power shot. And despite what dos Santos believes, a clean shot from either fighter will end your night with a quickness. Who will emerge victorious with the title this fall?
June 20, 2013 at 10:26 pm
hey JDS, MMA is not about opening any cuts or hitting like a man or a girl, is about winning fights…
oh by the way I dont remember you opening any cuts to Cain…
dana&patrick; star are 1 person
June 21, 2013 at 1:57 am
and JDS face is like a girl because he's face cannot be drawn the 2nd fight.
June 21, 2013 at 11:06 am
JDS was on his back faster than Paris Hilton after last call.
June 20, 2013 at 11:17 pm
i hope cain puts him to sleep
June 20, 2013 at 11:33 pm
I think he just admitted to getting his *** whipped by a girl
June 21, 2013 at 12:34 am
No love for Junior so Ill throw this out there, Cain hit him with everything he had and couldnt put him away. Didnt matter cause he didnt need to to win but still, he couldnt.
June 22, 2013 at 9:54 am
Maybe so but Junior looked pretty wobbly during that fight. He can say anything he likes the fact is that he was hurt in that fight.
June 21, 2013 at 12:37 am
I liked JDS before he started opening his mouth. But I find it tough to cheer for anyone who has "Brown Pride" tattoo'd on their chest. What kind of racist **** is that…double standards just piss me off
And back to re-inserting my tampon
June 21, 2013 at 9:58 am
Not to start crap, but since you brought it up, his dad admitted to sneaking into the USA 3 times before he succeeded entering. If our current laws were actually enforced…his whole family would be deported back to Mexico.
Hes an illegal immigrant with his double standard tattoo. If Brock had white pride across him, all h3ll would break loose.
Beyond that, Cain is a great fighter.
June 21, 2013 at 3:37 pm
There is a world of difference between a white and a brown pride tattoo. To even equate the two shows either a willing blindness to history or an inadequate education.
" You hear this a lot from skinheads—that Mexis proclaiming "Brown Pride" is just like them pushing white pride, so why is it okay for mestizos to be proud of their race but not Whites? That twisted logic shows how pendejos those skins are. The more accurate corollary to brown pride would be the Black Power or Yellow Power movements of the 1960's from which Brown Power emerged. That era saw historically oppressed minorities try to instil a sense of orgullo in themselves, try to deprogram centuries of gabacho thought and laws that maintained minorities should be ashamed of who they are. More important, though, brown pride in its most-common manifestation hasn't been used to preach race supremacy or to terrorize minorities ala the proponents of white pride. Can gabachos be proud of their roots? Damn straight—celebrate your mick or wop or honky ancestry, gabachos, but given that the definition of "white" continuously changes in this country (the Irish once weren't; Mexis once were), anyone boasting of "White Pride" is as deluded as a, well, a skinhead." – Gustavo Arellano
June 21, 2013 at 5:44 pm
Finally someone with brains. Agree 100%.
Its not doble standars, when a white person proclaims *********** or pride its not pride of their race, its claiming superiority over the rest by making all others inferiors , while any minority being proud of of their roots is because they no longer Care about the white oppression telling them they are less . The closes thing to Cains brown pride meaning would be white people claiming to be proud Americans, because they are claiming being proud of their history and customs not race
June 21, 2013 at 7:40 pm
Soooo just because I was born white Im supposed to bear the burden of what others did? Screw that. I'll always be proud of who I AM and will be responsible for my actions and how I treat others. By the way, England was the first country to suppress and enslave third world nations.
June 21, 2013 at 7:52 pm
An Irishman with an inferiority complex believes himself to be just as good as everyone else
-James Joyce- (just sayin')
June 22, 2013 at 10:09 am
And the Egyptians and the Persians and the Greeks and just about every civilization that has ever existed. The Aztecs were pretty brutal as well.
June 22, 2013 at 10:07 am
Entity, I know it is hard to wrap your brain around so let me break it down plain and simple. If you proclaim pride in being say, German or Irish or French; this is totally cool. It carries no implication of racism and you can do it all day. If you proclaim white pride you are using a term that everyone understands to have racist overtones. The only people who lament this are racists. Black Pride and Brown Pride don't carry racist overtones because most New World people who are not white can't trace their lineage to a specific country. Many of the people we call Hispanic have little to no Spanish blood at all. They are Natives who have been labeled such as part of their conquest by Europeans. Due to the history of the Americas there is however no way for these people to be sure one way or the other what their full ethnic make up is (without expensive genetic testing) so a term like Brown Pride makes a lot more sense than Hispanic or Mexican pride. If you are a New World Black then you have no Idea what your Nationality is hence Black Pride.
June 21, 2013 at 1:01 am
At least he doesn't lay on his back and take it like a girl. Jk
June 21, 2013 at 2:01 am
I like JDS but his statement doesn't make any sense… Okay… my face looked like I got hit with a bat over and over… and I had to go to the hospital… but… I wasn't cut and he hits like a girl.
Still think as long as Cain avoids taking some crazy shot from Jr. … Jr. is in for another long night. Belt will stay with Cain IMO..
June 21, 2013 at 4:21 am
like jds, but what he's said was a little poor…expected more from him
might as well said 'my dad is harder than your dad'
i think jds was unprepared for cain, not taking anything from cain…i think round 3 could be anyones fight, more so who's more prepared (cv imo)
June 21, 2013 at 8:19 am
I liked the old humble JDS more. Funny, how dude got beaten up by someone who hits like a girl for 5 rounds. And his face, let's not talk about his after fight face. HAHA. Unsure if dude is being funny, serious or just hyping the fight with trashtalk.
June 21, 2013 at 8:38 am
That's interesting – What's the explanation for JDS crashing to the canvas in the first? JDS does not have a chin if cain hits like a girl. Also JDS may not have had cuts but looked like he in full costume for his appearance in the new show walking dead, after Cain was finished with him.
June 21, 2013 at 9:21 am
That is awesome. How many people would have the cojones to say the heavyweight camp hits like a girl?
Don't over analyze this lads, JDS is just doing a little pre-fight trash talk. I always thought he tended to be a little to polite, so I hope he keeps it up.
June 21, 2013 at 5:52 pm
ahhh now everyone hates jr. i dont care what jds said, jr is tough as nails and a little comment like that doesnt change my perception of him at all. the two are gonna fight, and everyone expects him to say he really kicked my *** into the dirt? he knows what happened, but that doesnt mean he has to give cain props for beating him up and taking his title.
June 21, 2013 at 11:03 am
can't take anything away from JDS, he was at once the world champion. as for cain hitting like a girl, does this look like the face of a heavyweight who was hit by a girl? http://www.mmafightcorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/dsc04235.jpg
June 21, 2013 at 12:42 pm
I really hope he makes Cain mad.

Slice of the City: To the heart of American independence in Boston
Chris Coplans sets off with a canine companion to explore one of the oldest cities in the US
Sunday 03 February 2013
I've always aspired to have a girl in every port. In Boston my sweetheart is Catie Copley, a girl with a thing for licking people. But hold on … Catie is a dog and a dog with a job – she's the Canine Ambassador of the historic Fairmont Copley Plaza, which recently celebrated its centenary.
Catie is an 11-year-old Rubenesque black labrador who was trained as a guide dog but now lives at the hotel. She has become something of a Boston celebrity, with two books under her collar. When not greeting guests in the Fairmont's opulent lobby, she accompanies them for walks.
So what better way to see the city that promotes itself as "America's Walking City" than with Catie? Boston is awash with historic sites, most of which are located in a relatively compact area of often-cobbled streets – lined with gorgeous colonial-era architecture – that are a delight to walk.
We set off from the Fairmont, located in the Back Bay neighbourhood and designed by Henry Hardenberg, who masterminded some of New York's most iconic hotels, including the Plaza and the Waldorf Astoria. It sits on the corner of Copley Square, an architectural treat whose centrepiece is the majestic Trinity Church, a flamboyant French-Romanesque masterpiece built in 1877. Opposite is the renaissance-style Boston Library and towering above Trinity Church is the shimmering 1,127ft-tall John Hancock Tower.
We walked one block and turned right on to Newbury Street, lined with exclusive stores and fashionable restaurants such as Joe's American Bar & Grill at No 181. We turned left and then right on to Commonwealth Avenue, a majestic boulevard, shaded by elm trees and which Winston Churchill described as one of the world's finest streets.
We sauntered through the charming Boston Public Garden, passing the imposing bronze statue of George Washington, then crossed Charles Street on to the magnificent 50-acre Boston Common. Established in 1634, and America's oldest public park, the common is drenched in colonial and revolutionary history. It is the starting point of the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile walking tour through some of Boston's oldest neighbourhoods. Marked by double rows of red sidewalk bricks or a painted red line, it includes 16 historic sites linked to the American Revolution. At the Visitor Center at 168 Tremont Street, on the edge of the Common, you can pick up a Freedom Trail brochure or audio tour for a self-guided tour.
We followed the red-brick road across the Common to the New State House – which was, in fact, completed in 1798. From here, we took a quick detour to see Boston's most picturesque and affluent neighbourhood, Beacon Hill, which borders the common. Walking down Mount Vernon Street, we passed elegant 19th-century townhouses, antiquated gaslights, and courtyards, taking a peek down tiny, cobbled Acorn Street and Louisburg Square.
Doubling back on Mount Vernon, we turned down Walnut Street to rejoin Beacon Street, and pick up the Freedom Trail again on Park Street. We passed the exquisite 1809 Park Street Church – the site of the old town granary – and continued to bustling School Street and the Parker House Hotel.
It was here that the deliciously decadent Boston cream pie – a cake filled with custard or cream and topped with chocolate icing – and the Parker House roll, a rich buttery puffy bread roll, were invented. The hotel is steeped in history: Charles Dickens stayed there while rehearsing A Christmas Carol; Ho Chi Minh, who trained under Escoffier in Paris, was a pastry chef here, before he returned to wrestle Vietnam from the French and Americans; and Malcolm X, cut from a very different type of revolutionary cloth, did a stint as a busboy. In the restaurant, I sampled the cream pie – OK, the Parker House roll as well – at the same table (No 40) where JFK proposed to Jackie.
We continued on the Freedom Trail to Court Street, where we are dwarfed by gleaming skyscrapers, and arrive at the Old State House. The elegant brick building was built in 1713 and it was from the small balcony that the Declaration of Independence was first read to Bostonians in 1776.
Directly in front of the building, encircled by cobblestones, is the spot where the Boston massacre took place in 1770. British troops opened fire on an angry mob of protesters, killing five people. At this point, we left the Freedom Trail and ambled down State Street, ending up on the bustling waterfront at the mouth of the Charles River. Here, in 1773, is where the infamous Boston Tea Party took place, when a group of tax-avoiding colonists, disguised as Mohawk Indians, committed treason by dumping 342 chests of tea into the harbour.
We returned to the Fairmont on Boston's excellent subway, known locally as the "T". As I made my way to the elevator, I glanced back at Catie, now relaxing in her basket in the opulent lobby and being pampered by passing guests. It's a dog's life at the Copley Plaza.
Fresh cuts
The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum (001 617 338 1773; bostonteapartyship.com) reopened last summer, having doubled in size. The space offers exhibits, video presentations and living history programmes, all of which tell the story of the Boston Tea Party.
Two additional tall ships, the Dartmouth and the Eleanor, have been added to the Beaver. These replicas represent the full complement of ships that took part in the original Boston Tea Party.
Getting and staying there
Chris Coplans travelled with Virgin Holidays (0844 557 3859; virginholidays.co.uk), which offers three nights' room only at the Fairmont Copley Plaza (001 617 267 5300; fairmont.com/copleyplaza) from £739, with Virgin Atlantic flights from Heathrow.
Other airlines serving Boston from Heathrow include British Airways, Delta and American Airlines.
Visiting there
Joe's American Bar & Grill (001 617 536 4200; joesamerican.com).
Parker House Hotel (001 617 227 8600; omnihotels.com).
Go guided
Freedom Trail (thefreedomtrail.org). There are up to 12 guided tours every day, starting at $13 (£8) per person. You can also download an audio tour from the website ($15/£9.40) and there are a number of free apps.
A walk with Catie the labrador can be booked free of charge for Fairmont guests only. Email email@example.com

Help Develop Lens Guards for Large Primes and Zooms
Lexington, KY, Tuesday, January 31, 2012 — DeluxGear announces the development of 3 new Lens Guards for large lenses. It's teaming with Kickstarter to fund Lens Guards to fit lenses from 3.6 inches (8.6 cm) in diameter all the way to 6.6 inches (15.8 cm).
The new XL, XX-L, and Jumbo Lens Guards will protect 200mm through 800mm prime lenses from Canon, Nikon, Sigma and others. They will also cover popular zoom lenses, like the Nikon 14-24mm, 80-400mm and 200-400mm, the Sigma 80-400mm, 100-300mm, 50-500mm, and 300-800 mm, and the Tamron 200-500mm.
"These lenses cost thousands of dollars, and yet there have been no solutions to protect them while on your camera....until now," states Tom Nickell, the CEO of DeluxGear. "Anyone who has one of these larger lenses, including outdoor and sports photographers, will find Lens Guards to be an inexpensive form of insurance."
The larger size Lens Guards offer the same quality and protection as DeluxGear's current Lens Guard line. Each is a padded cover that fits snuggly over the end of the lens to protect lenses and filters and help avoid costly trips to the repair shop. The cushiony, shock-resistant inner core is made of 0.25" (6mm) thick closed-cell neoprene and is encased in a tough 0.08" (2mm) Santoprene outer cover. This powerful combination absorbs impact and prevents scrapes, scratches, and dents to lenses. According to Lens Guard inventor, Michael Dowell, "It is like the bumper of a car, providing more protection than lens caps, filters, or hoods."
Kickstarter is the world's largest funding platform for creative projects. Anyone can become a "Backer", pledging any amount for projects they support. Backers of this DeluxGear Kickstarter project can choose from several reward levels, and can receive limited edition Lens Guards at a price less than they will be sold for after the product launch. The funding goal of $8,000 must be reached by March 5th.
"Customers regularly ask for larger size Lens Guards," according to Nickell. "Our designs are nearly complete. With Kickstarter, we can prepare for production. This project is engaging the photo community to get these Lens Guards into the market so photographers can begin using them!"
Pledges raised through Kickstarter will go towards molds, dies, raw materials, and completing the first production run. The Lens Guards will be Made in the USA.

Young lawyers with the Tennessee Bar Association and the Chattanooga Bar Association will hold two training sessions on Oct. 25, to educate local librarians and court clerks about free services available to members of the public seeking legal assistance. The training will be offered at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Chattanooga Downtown Library Auditorium, 1001 Broad St., Chattanooga, Tn. 37402.
To attend, RSVP to Ellie Hill with Patrick, Beard, Schulman & Jacoway at email@example.com or 423 756-7117.
- OnlineTNJustice, which allows qualified individuals to post a legal question to a private online messaging system and receive an answer from a volunteer lawyer.
- LIFT, a website that provides general information about a number of different legal issues as well as links to other pro bono resources.
- aLEGALz, a toll-free hotline that provides legal information and referrals to low-income Tennesseans.
The goal of the project is to educate at least one librarian in each county, and have at least one library in each county equipped with a computer the public may use to access these free legal resources. Mr. McDowell also is challenging young lawyers to volunteer to answer questions posted on OnlineTNJustice, volunteer at legal aid clinics across the state and take pro bono cases from their local legal aid agency.

Servings: 2 to 4
- 1 pound uncooked large shrimp, deveined but with tails and shells intact
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning or other seafood seasoning
- Lemon wedges

To devein the shrimp for this recipe, use scissors to cut shells down center of backs and pull out veins. Even easier: Many supermarkets sell uncooked deveined shrimp with the shells and tails intact.
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Preheat broiler. Cover rimmed baking sheet with foil and spread shrimp on sheet. Mix melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, and Old Bay seasoning in medium bowl for sauce.

Have a look at the french trips on this site to give you a bit of background
Report Abuse
Are you serious and experienced bikers? That's a lot distance by bike you are planning on covering and that region of France is very hilly and even mountainous in some places so you are in for some challenging cycling, not to mention long distances, if you want to bike to all those places you mention. For example, Nice to Aix-en-Provence is 184 kilometers by bike.
You may want to contact some of the bike tour companies in that area for more help. There are a number of companies that offer self-guided bike tour service where they will set you up with a bike and maps and perhaps even make hotel arrangements for you. Here is a link to a company you may want to contact in the Côtes d'Azur:
Here are links to some more companies that offer guided and self-guided bike tours. You'll have to look at their websites to see which ones offer tours in the areas that interest you:
Here is a link with some information about bike trails in that region:
A website where you can learn a lot about cycling in France in general can be found at the link below:
I suggest you get some good guidebooks about cycling in that region and get yourself some good maps so you can see where these places are in relation to one another, what the distances are and how steep/difficult the terrain may be for biking.
Report Abuse
I'm no cyclist, but you are aware that your trip is generally speaking, going uphill? If you were to do the same itinerary in reverse, it might more sense for that reason alone.
I would follow the suggestions and contact one of those cycling outfits.
Report Abuse
I just looked at your itinerary again and noticed that you want to see all these places in 4 days. That would be challenging even if you were doing this by car but it is absolutely impossible to do that in 4 days by bike. If you have only 4 days to spend in this region then you need to drastically rearrange your schedule, whether you do this by bike, car or public transport (buses and trains).
If you only have 4 days in this region (which means only 3 nights) then I think you need to focus on the area near Nice or the area near Arles/Avignon. I would suggest that you do one of two things. 1) Base in Nice for your 4 days and use that as a base to explore the area. 2) Base in Avignon and use that as a base to explore that area.
If your 4 days in this area includes your arrival and departure days then you really have 2 full days and 2 half days. Part of your first day is lost getting to your hotel and checking in and part of your last day is lost to checking out of your hotel and getting to the airport/train station.
Report Abuse
I have biked extensively in all those regions - marking for comment later.
Report Abuse
PalenQ - If I read the OP's question correctly it appears they are seeking to bike to all the places they mention in four days (D1=Day 1, D2=Day 2, etc.). Just trying to save you a long and thorough response that probably isn't necessary. I think the OP needs to come back and clarify before any decent advice can be given.
Report Abuse
Thank everybody so much for your information! Distance is not problem, but we know nothing about the topography. Is there flat or uphill? We don't know our itinerary is reasonable or not? If it's too rush, we can spent more days there. We need advice. Thank you!
Report Abuse
Topping so the OP will realize they have duplicate threads running.
Report Abuse
If you really want to do that itinerary you're going to need a ot more time in that area. There was some good advice about using the www.viamichelin.com website. They will give you info about bike trips in terms of time and distance. Keep in mind the times they give consider no stops at all. For example, the distance between Nice and Aix is 184km and just over 13 hours of riding but the 13 hours doesn't consider stops. You really need to get some guideboks and maps as a start and look at some of the weblinks provided above. It sounds like PalenQ will have some good advice for you since he has done a lot of biking there. The areas near Nice are very hilly but the areas near Arles and Avignon are much more flat.
Report Abuse
You simply can't do that in 4 days. Get some guidebooks and, more important, get good maps, including topographical ones (why don't you know anything about the topography? Google is your friend, as are good maps!). It boggles the mind that in this day and age, when all the information in the world is at our fingertips, people can't research the basic info required for a trip. Yelling help me! help me! help me! on the internet doesn't substitute for going to the bookstore or library and sitting down at night and poring over information...plus of course spending hours on the internet figuring it out. If you're a help me! help me! help me! sort of person about the planning, God help you on the actual route when you get there. Please, get a grip, get some guidebooks and good maps, and just figure it out.
Do a detailed itinerary, noting distances and topography. Look into bicycle tour companies in the area and what they consider to be reasonable distances to cover in various areas every day. Check out lodging and prices and where to stop to eat or get provisions along the way.
This isn't rocket science. It's a matter of gathering good resources, absorbing them, and making note of details that pertain to you, looking at maps and sketching out a plan, getting in touch with accommodations to make sure you have them, and then solidyfying the whole package.
Report Abuse
If those are day trips then Nice to Aix and Aix to Arles are both long treks - especially Nice to Aix
Nice to Eze means a serious serious climb along a too busy for moi highway - ditto Eze to Monaco - serious downhill with too much traffic. Seems like no fun to me at least.

Tested: 2013 Felt Compulsion LT3
Many bikes get tossed into the 'enduro' or 'all-mountain' category because they sport six inches of travel and yet they don't possess the slack geometry, stout frame and burly parts to really excel on prolonged technical riding. The Compulsion LT, happily, is one bike that fits the bill. The Compulsion LT is no pretender.

Video: 12 Months, 12 Stories–the Finale
There were high hopes for the Enduro World Series, which drew an amazing talent pool of former World Champ downhillers and cross-country strongmen. In the end, the men's title was taken by Jerome Clementz, who was already "the guy to beat". 2013 just kind of put the official stamp on that title.
