"Very motivational"
The author read the book so it was as if Rich were reading the story directly to the reader.
I don't want to give away the story but the author captured our attention immediately with the opening story.
My extreme reaction is that it motivated me to try becoming a vegan and to purchase a Vitamix. Its been four weeks but so far, so good.
The only reason I gave the audio book four stars rather than five stars is that I needed to also obtain a printed copy of the book to retain the information in the appendices. These chapters contain the specific foods to include in your vegan diet.
The story itself was fastinating, especially hearing it directly from Rich.
"An amazing story."
Elizabeth's recollection of the events in such great detail was very impressive. Her ability to move on with her life and count herself as being lucky is truly inspirational.
How she counted the number of months that she has been alive and the number of months that she was captured to quantify how blessed she is. This adds a whole new perspective to counting ones blessings.
She played herself so this was not applicable.
Shock with what she went through. Satisfaction in hearing a happy ending.
I highly recommend this book.
I've been blessed to be able to trail run in the beautiful Wasatch Mountains, yet have never been aware that much of this story took place there.
"Picked up some very useful tips"
I ended up listening to this book twice end to end as some of the advice was so useful that I wanted to make sure I engrained it in my memory.
No comparison
Pleasant voice.
I'm surprised just how easy many of these techniques are, yet so seldom practiced by most people. That was eye opening.
Highly recommend this book. The only difficult part was that the middle of this book started talking about dealing with people who have mental disorders that most of us do not deal with on a day to day basis. That section of the book would have been more helpful if I was a mental health professional. However, I still strongly recommend this book to everyone.
"Well written, well read, enjoyable read"
The author told her story in a very interesting manner and did a nice job with the narration. Once I started this book, it was difficult to put down until I finished it.
How the author labels each of her dates.
She has a very pleasant voice and used nice inflections when appropriate.
Just how much of an emotional effect menopause has on women. Before this, I had no idea.
Highly recommend this book.
"Fastinating look at this true underdog story"
I don't want to rank the audiobooks that I've read as I enjoy so many of them. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book.
I loved how the author integrated historical events that were going on at the same time as the events that the crew were encountering. It helped paint a very colorful picture of this interesting period in world history.
Mr. Hermann has a very easy to listen to voice. I thoroughly enjoyed his performance.
It was a bit too long for that.
I highly recommend this audio book.
"Pulls all the theories together"
The author has definitely done his research, drawing on many of the other research that had been done on particular aspects of the JFK assassination. This book pulls all this prior research together into one common thread.
How the evidence that the author presents is so convincing.
I don't have time to read such lengthy paper-based books. Mr. Sanders kept this lengthy story compelling where you didn't want to pause the audiobook.
My extreme reaction is that he changed my perspective on this historic event.
A must read. Should be a mandatory book for all college level American History classes.
"Don't waste your time"
The premise of this book was how Freddie and Queen stole the show at the 1985 Live Aid show.
For anyone who watched it live, Queen was good but not the most memorable act. Yet, the author kept coming back to that.
Not much. It is difficult to write a book about someone who has been dead for quite some time.
I only made it about one-third of the way through this book. I kept hoping it would improve but it never did.
"I would recommend this book to any NBA fan."
This book provided much insight into what made this dream team and its members so special. It will be tough for there ever to be another all star team like this one.
None in particular, but this book was still very entertaining. I'm glad I read it.
"I was disappointed."
I don't think so.
I have quite a few audio books that I am reading.
The narrator did a good job but the story / her story was just not as interesting as I would have hoped.
It was interesting to hear about Beatlemania from the inside.
"Very compelling even though you know the end"
The author's friendship with Farrah was simply amazing. Also, cancer is a disease that has touched nearly everyone. It was very interesting to hear how Alana and Farrah dealt with this during those last three years.
The narration and focal tones were also fantastic.
Farrah's sense of humor regarding a Jaguar lease.
I highly recommend this book. It is impossible to listen to this and not be touched by it.
"I enjoy this album but not this book"
I would recommend that you spend the 3 hours listening to this album 4 to 6 times rather than reading this book.
Nothing. He did a great job with the material that he had. However, I just did not enjoy it.
Disappointment that I wasted 3 hours of my time listening to it.
This was my first 33.3 album audio books that I purchased. This will probably be my last.

And this weekend marks another edition of the DUB show tour in Anaheim, CA. I was there only for a couple hours to bring you coverage of familiar models that we all know. I was mostly around the vendor area walking around shooting the booths. With the earliest memory I have of the DUB Show, it's nice to see that not much has changed and the styling and atmosphere is still the same.

In May, Box acquired Crocodoc, a cloud-based document viewing and annotation utility that has been gaining traction in the education market. It's been integrated with both Blackboard, one of the industry's leading learning management systems (LMS), and Edmodo, a popular tool for teacher and student collaboration at the K-12 level.
On Thursday, Box announced an integration with Canvas, the cloud-based LMS from Instructure, which will be available in early 2014. Canvas will allow Box customers to embed the full file sharing and collaboration experience in the LMS so that, for example, folders of files managed through Box and associated with a specific course can be displayed within the page for that course. Canvas will also take advantage of Crocodoc for file viewing and annotation.
"Certainly, we're talking with other leading LMS vendors out there, but right now Canvas is the deepest integration we have, where they're embedding the entire Box experience so you can do anything in Canvas that you can do in Box," said Robin Daniels, head of enterprise product marketing at Box. "That makes it much more useful for all students."
Independent of these new developments, universities have been embracing Box partly because it is available as part of a catalog of cloud apps offered on standardized terms negotiated through Internet2, the higher education association that provides high speed connectivity and other network services.
[ Optimized for education: Microsoft Cloud Gets Internet2 Expressway To Universities. ]
University customers include Georgetown, University of Mississippi, Notre Dame, Stanford, Temple and Tufts. Most of these are enterprise agreements, which make the service available to all faculty, students and staff, Daniels said. "They want to standardize on one system. It's just like you don't want to give email to half your students; you want to give it to all students." According to Box's research, 50% of college students are doing school work on smartphones and tablets on a daily basis, making Box's support for mobile users important, he said.
At Indiana University (IU), the cloud service is available to a campus community of 130,000, and 37,000 accounts are currently active, said Bob Flynn, special project manager for the central IT organization. "So we still have some work to do," getting everyone to take advantage of it, he said. "At the guerilla level, we have signs up at lost and found saying, 'Lost your USB key? Use Box.'"
The service went live at IU in April 2012, followed by a bigger kick-off promotion in the fall semester.
Like many businesses, universities are realizing that a lot of data is already being managed in the cloud using consumer services, Flynn said. "Other products like Dropbox are very individual-based, whereas Box is attractive because it's targeted at the enterprise." In addition to having more enterprise-friendly security and administration, Box features for sharing and collaborating on documents are turning out to be the real selling point, he said. "As our implementation goes on, I'm playing down the storage component and playing up the collaboration."
Flynn said he was not talking about the features Box is adapting from Crocodoc, which he hasn't seen yet. The Canvas integration is not immediately relevant because IU uses the Sakai Project open source LMS, to which it is a major contributor, he said. However, IU is planning to do a review of its LMS infrastructure, which will include taking a look at next-generation products like Canvas, for which Box integration could be a selling point, he said.
Meanwhile, some early applications of Box at IU include:
-- Attendees at sporting events can email photos, using Box's email-to-folder feature, and the athletics department will pick the best ones to post to Facebook.
-- Business students doing field work consulting with local businesses have set up client folders for collaboration with those businesses.
-- When a colleague at Notre Dame asked for a copy of a video produced by the IT department, IU couldn't give it to him because of a copyright issue regarding distribution rights to some of the audio on the soundtrack. However, Flynn was able to post it to a Box folder as "preview only," allowing the Notre Dame user to show it but not keep it.
"These are things that are not conceivable with a normal storage or collaboration technology," Flynn said. Students can also use Box for routine tasks like submitting papers, although currently there's a stumbling block in the way of instructors using Box to send it back. Graded work is considered sensitive private information under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal educational privacy law.
"We do not yet have approval to use Box for what we term restricted data," Flynn said. Once that approval is granted, Box ought to see more extensive use by faculty, he said.

Let me just start out by saying that I love Fly Fishing for Bass. They can be as picky as Trout, and as ferocious as a pike launching after it's prey. They are the reason why I started Fly Fishing, and the species I target the most. Growing up in Southern California means that my childhood was filled with warm memories of Bass Fishing just about anywhere I could(including the local golf courses).
So, it was not much of a leap to start out targeting Bass when I picked up the Fly Rod. A couple of Woolly Buggers and some 5x and I was hitting the local park as soon as the sun started over the horizon.
Moving on from my love affair with Bass and yet staying on the same subject. Last Saturday I decided to head up to Peck Road Park, a water reclamation center that I have heard has great Bass Fishing. I got off the 605 and on to the side streets, pulled into the parking lot with a morning drizzle coming down on my Okuma fishing hat. I reached for the 5 weight and the 4x and off I went, in search of hopefully Bass and anything else that was willing to take a fly.
I was extremely disappointed right off the bat. I hit the shallow end of the lake with no luck in what looked like 5- 10 text book Bass Spots. As I moved over to the deeper end of the lake, I started seeing fish cruising the water. The nibbles started and the fishing was in full force. I started pulling out Bass on almost every cast. Small little guys (maybe only 10-14 inches long). But hey now, Bass are Bass no matter what size (and any fish is better than a skunk).
As I made my way around to the other side of the lake, I noticed what looked like an orange road hazard cone at every hole. It would suddenly disappear as I made my decent onto the shore line. It was not until about the 5th spot that I realized it was a great Carnival Prize (Goldfish) sipping the roots along the shoreline. At the next section I ripped out about 50 feet of line and threw down a cast only to have the fish take the fly and turn for the deep water with a fury vengeance. I set the hook and snap, my Prize Goldfish had made a jailbreak.
Things like that just have a way of breaking your little fishing heart. I went home with dreams of showing off my Monster Goldfish in the next LA County fair crushed, and a realization that I should be fishing any water reclaimation center I can get my hands on.

NEW ORLEANS – Scenes and observations from the NFL's annual Super Bowl media day – interviews with players and team personnel from the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers on the field at the Superdome:
Terrell Suggs stood up, threw down his microphone, kicked over his chair with a back heel as he stepped down from his podium, and then he kicked over a cooler.
Onlookers laughed, satisfied that the Baltimore Ravens' mischievous linebacker had properly punctuated the frenetic, free-for-all known as Super Bowl media day.
Suggs plays a central role in one of the more intimidating defenses in the NFL, and at least some of the conversation involved football and what it would take to slow down San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick in Sunday's NFL championship game.
But media day never is just about football, not even when the players are interviewing each other: Posing as a reporter, defensive end Arthur Jones asked Suggs which staple of Louisiana cuisine he preferred, gumbo or jambalaya.
"That's a good question, and I'm glad you asked that, Arthur," Suggs said. "Definitely gumbo."
Suggs also was asked if he is the best dancer in the locker room: "No way. 'Be Nasty,' (safety) Bernard Pollard – he's definitely the best dancer. And I think if we get this done come Sunday, you all will get to see a good dose of it."
And maybe even get a song from Suggs; he wasn't shy about serenading everyone with a rendition of Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love" just moments after he took his seat behind the microphone.
When players and coaches were asked to play along with a joke about the growing influence of social media in everyday communication, results were mixed and appeared to expose the generation gap between some players and coaches.
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and others were asked to answer some questions in hash tags only. The tags, which might look like (hash)SuperBowl on the website Twitter, are used to help social media users identify trendy topics.
"That would be very challenging to me," Harbaugh said. "I don't know the hash-tag world that well. I don't have one. I don't have a Tweeter (sic). I'm not real good at that."
Ravens' placekicker Justin Tucker was more cooperative, answering several questions in a row about his Super Bowl experience as a rookie with, "Hash tag, awesome."

What's new at Microsoft?
Tuesday - 1/22/2013, 9:37pm EST
Susie Adams, CTO for Federal Sales, Microsoft
January 22, 2013 -- There is an iconic television commercial that has the tag line, "Not your father's Oldsmobile."
The automobile didn't survive, but the sentiment behind the slogan certainly did.
After you listen to today's interview with Susie Adams, chief technical officer for Federal Sales at Microsoft, perhaps you will remark, "This is not my father's Microsoft."
Probably the most fascinating part of the interview is the fact that Microsoft spends more on research and development than Apple and Google combined.
Some of this spending is on consumer items that dazzle at shows like CES, but 90% of this budget item is spent on improving cloud based applications.
The second surprise is the recent announcement by the Department of Defense to fund $600 million dollars on Microsoft products.
If security is a concern, then the suddenly changing Microsoft has gotten a sterling endorsement.
During the interview, Adams talks about walking into a Starbucks and customers would look at the tiles on her Windows8 phone and be amazed.
Next year Microsoft will stop supporting the venerable Windows XP and many will look at upgrading to this operating system.
For years the cool kids had Apple products. That is changing.
If you take the fact the more and more "over 40" people are using Apple with the release of Microsoft's Surface and products like Xbox - Microsoft is suddenly trendy with the younger generation.
Nobody would have predicted this evolution, not even in Redmond.
Listen to today's show and you will learn about the new Microsoft, nothing at all like the company that sold Microsoft Office on twenty three floppies!

Phoronix: The Nasty Battery Power Usage On Ubuntu 11.10
This morning I shared some initial battery power consumption results for Ubuntu 11.10 from three different mobile devices. For all three of them, the power consumption on Ubuntu 11.10 was even higher than Ubuntu 11.04, which was already in a power hungry state. Before calling it a week to go handle XDC2011 matters, I ran some tests from a standard Intel Atom N270 netbook. Sure enough, Ubuntu 11.10 is doing a heck of a job at burning through power...
Idle and Video Playback are mutually exclusive. The system cannot be idle and playing back video at the same time.Idle, DPMS Off, Video Playback
For the past odd 1.5 years I've yet to read a thoroughly positive toned article on Ubuntu on Phoronix.
It is not just Ubuntu that is going to suck more power, it is Linux. The changes are on the kernel side.
Compile in the new kernel on an Arch Linux / <your favourite distro here> and test the power again.
Ubuntu bad, Ubuntu slower booting, Ubuntu Unity fail, Ubuntu unstable, Ubuntu own test suite (where is ours!), Ubuntu <negative rant here>
I, for one, love Unity. And its keyboard shortcuts. KDE is a good second but the <meta>+1 to switch between apps is brilliant. I am really productive on it, and apart from the terrible power management I'm actually looking forward to 11.10.
I'm fairly certain Fedora has started to be getting more attention, as the distro has been improving to be more common-user friendly.
It might be getting more usable but the default gnome-shell theme is hideous :P unity looks really great IMO, 11.04 was not ready for me yet but the little while I've been testing 11.10 I was satisfied but since I'm going to college soon I'll have to wait until 11.10 hits stable release so that I switch to it from fedora.
In this case, the power consumption issue is mostly in the kernel. I have an atom processor and I've tried upgrading the kernel to newer versions but....
Everything past .37 consumes a significantly more power. That 20% there is the difference between the fan running quietly and about 2 hours off the battery life.
It would be nice to have the same tests under optimal conditions, i mean after running power-top git and enabling all of the suggestion it provides, adding pcie_aspm=force, i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 to the kernel boot options.
Personally, after doing that, i have 5,9 -> 6,1W in idle on a netbook with similar spec (asus 1005ha) with kernel 3.0.
Didn't test it under load.
I bet phoronix has nothing personal to ubuntu, it's just most widely used linux distro. Who needs comparison of netbsd with slakware?
On my laptop btw I cant say I see major power regression, on lucid/maverick with kernel 2.6.34 (custom build) I had
Present rate : 1550 mA
now I have
Present rate : 1377 mA
which is quite compfortable. Of course I have some customisation:
p.s.Code:[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-10-generic root=UUID=5752d8a8-3b9b-48ce-be8e-93a7ffd66994 ro i8042.nomux=1 pcie_aspm=force options i915 i915_enable_fbc=1 lvds_downclock=1 i915_enable_rc6=1

"Jimmy Buffett is famous for his ability to help his fans escape to a tropical world of beaches and cool breezes". Jimmy Buffett opened the doors of the Caribbean feeling to people in the U.S., becoming one of the most popular artists of today. While he is commonly known for "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "Margaritaville", his true fans know that it is songs like "The Weather is Here I wish you were Beautiful", "Fins", "A Pirate Looks at Fourty", and "One Particular Harbour", plus about 200 other songs that prove him to be the talented song writer he is. Jimmy Buffett created his Phan club of Parrottheads: a group of fun alcoholics who work too hard and listen to Buffett as a way of winding down. Or, a group of lazy beach bums. Either way, fan's of Buffett love him and his music for all it is. At the same time, we all know he couldn't be the same artist without the help of his Coral Reefers.
We are the people our parents warned us about...

Jimmy Buffett is one of the best artists
The modern-day American Dionysus known for his love of drinking and the ocean, one of the great singer/songwriters of all times.
I can't believe you haven't ever heard of Jimmy Buffett, and you think you can party.
The Thrillerによって
One of the best singers/song writers of all time. Much better than the pop singers of today. Has the best concerts ever and it is all LIVE!
Jimmy Buffett is the best singer of all time and you're a crackhead to think otherwise.
The single greatest artist of all time. Best listened to when drinking alcohol, preferably whiskey. Often played by Kurt Legel minutes before he passes out, or in other words, after his first shot.
Kurt put on Jimmy Buffett just as he passed out on the floor.
Not only one of the most talented song writers/singers ever. But an incredible author as well, writing books such as Tales From Margaritaville, Where in the World is Joe Bama, and a select few other titles.
Often mislabeled as a country singer, he has an incredibly wide variety of songs that are very nice to listen to as you wind down your busy day.

Jimmy Buffett is by far the best artist I have ever heard of.
Romanfool によって
Liked by only frat boys and alcoholic chicks from the south.
Jimmy Buffett needs to stop being this dumb island musician fuck cause he sucks and is even worse when intoxicated. All of his fans are at least 70 years old.

How Dan Gilbert's 'mea culpa' on Mike Brown is a sign of strong leadership
Blog Entry:
May 07, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: STEVEN SHAFFER
Steven Shaffer is president of
Shaffer Consulting Group
Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert demonstrated real leadership by rehiring coach Mike Brown — after firing him two years ago — and admitting the firing was wrong.
"Sure, it was a mistake," Mr. Gilbert told the media.
The leadership lesson here is not about whether Mike Brown should or should not have been rehired; rather, it's about Mr. Gilbert admitting his mistake.
This type of accountable leadership goes a long way in developing high-performing businesses in which employees don't fear reprisals if they take an unpopular position. Leadership like Mr. Gilbert's fosters a culture that allows employees to be committed to decisions because they know mistakes happen — and are OK.
When a business owner openly acknowledges a "mea culpa," he's showing that he's putting the good of the business before ego. He's also demonstrating that the good of the team comes before what's best for the individual.
Mr. Gilbert's rehiring of Mr. Brown illustrates yet again that we are a country of second chances; we often embrace people who admit their mistakes.
It is not surprising then that another Gilbert-led business, Quicken Loans, is No. 10 in
magazine's 100 Best Companies to Work For (2012).
Great leaders are hard to find. Have you ever been around a leader who is unwilling or afraid to admit a mistake? What are the consequences on the company, culture and employees when leaders hide behind their egos?
Companies where the leader has to "be right" are ones where "games" are prevalent and that also have lots of unproductive and unresolved conflict.
Below are a dozen obstacles that can prevent teams from winning—and companies from succeeding. And all of these attitudes start at the top:
1. There is a risk of losing
2. People are defensive
3. There is little commitment to decisions
4. The focus is on the individual and not the team
5. People hesitate to disagree with others rather than be honest about themselves and others
6. There is lots of drama, mainly blame and excuses for why things don't get done
7. A lack of commitment to the company
8. A lack of focus
9. A lack of buy-in to decisions
10. A belief that things will never change
11. Conflict avoidance
12. Focus is on status and ego before results
In the book, "Great by Choice," author Jim Collins says that decision-making depends on conflict.
"What we found in companies that make good decisions is that the debate is real,'' Mr. Collins writes. "It is real, violent debate in search of understanding."
This can only happen if there is trust and mutual respect and where leaders are able admit their mistakes to the team. If the leader can't be honest with himself, he can't successfully lead.
Mr. Gilbert took a vulnerable leap hiring Brown back. It might just be the step the Cavs need to bring back a winning team.

Silk Route
Cycle the ancient route of the legendary silk trade across the entire continent of Asia; from Shanghai to Istanbul; the longest, hardest, highest, hottest, coldest bicycle expedition on the planet. Bike over 12,000 kilometres, through seven countries; a journey that in the past took merchants, soldiers and adventurers many uncomfortable months — if they made it at all! As a Silk Route Rider, you will camp below sea level in the stunning deserts of China's Xinjiang province and cycle to the top of the world, climbing to over 4,500 m through the Pamir mountains in Tajikistan. You will stay in ancient caravanserais and shop in markets that have thrived for two thousand years.
Our 12,160 kilometer self-powered caravan begins at Shanghai, China, the bustling center of China's economic rise, and follows the classic Silk Route across mysterious lands, fiery deserts, and forbidding mountains. 18 weeks later we arrive in faraway Istanbul, the majestic capitol of Byzantium, the Roman Empire, the Ottomans and now the Republic of Turkey.
Starting at the shores of the East China Sea in Shanghai we'll follow the Silk Route westwards, making this now a truly Trans-continental Tour. Also included are visits to two renowned destinations off the beaten track – enigmatic Iran where we will marvel at that country's Persian past and the Pamir Highway in Tajikistan where we will climb to over 4600 meters and cycle across the "Roof of the World."
As a Silk Route participant, you will ride to the mystical Central Asian cities of Samarqand, Bukhara, and Merv, and camp below sea level in the stunning deserts of China's Xinjiang province. There are points where quietness pervades, and where the original travelers of the Silk Route seem to be just beyond the next hill, beckoning you further along this arduous trek. Time and time again, you will be amazed at the layers of history emerging from the sand, shake your head at all that has been lost and take heart from all that is being preserved and created.
Each group of Silk Route riders are enriched by an intricate knowledge of ancient lands crossed, the inspiration that comes from sharing a grand adventure with new friends and fellow nomads, and the inner peace that comes with meeting a life-changing challenge head on. Whether you are lured by the chance to stay in timeless caravanserais and shop in bazaars that have thrived for thousands of years, or have dreamt of traveling "the Golden Road," we look forward to having you join us on this unforgettable journey.
Shanghai encapsulates the rise of modern China. In the 19th century this city was a booming center of trade between east and west and its allure to foreigners lasted till the 1930s. "The Bund" was the famous epicenter of international commerce in Shanghai. Shut down after the communists took over, luckily the architecture of the neighborhood remains for us to explore. Precious Jade was traded in Shanghai and revered by Buddhists, and you may just find yourself leaving the city with a keepsake.
With the years of an isolated China having faded quickly Shanghai has once again become a thriving commercial center. In 2010 Shanghai hosted the World Expo and the PuDong Skyline makes most of the world's metropolises pale in comparison.
As we head west from Shanghai on our trans-Asia journey, a plateau of endless towns intermingled with small agricultural plots will give us insight into the lives of the 1.3 billion Chinese. Our first rest day will be in Nanjing, one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China. The centre of the Chinese Republic during the early 20th century this city is sadly known for civilian atrocities that were suffered during the Japanese invasion in the 1930s.
Continuing west we'll encounter our first serious climbs on the approach to Xi'an. Another ancient capital of China, Xi'an is renowned for the Terracotta warriors. Having the chance to see this army in person is an amazing opportunity and affords the imagination an endless resource to picture a long distant time. Significantly for our journey, Xi'an was the traditional starting point of Silk Traders heading west along the ancient Silk Road.
The tour will now face the trials and tribulations of the Hexi corridor, a narrow passage stretching for about 1000km. Sandwiched in between the snow-covered Qilian Mountains to the south and the Beishan mountainous area and Alashan Plateau semi desert to the north are a series of fertile oases, sparkling jewels surrounded by the vast, bleak expanse of Gobi desert. This area is known for its winds, gusts that will test the mettle of every rider.
From Xi'an, we spin alongside green terraced hills towards the city of Lanzhou. These days are challenging, with steep climbs and descents set in the beautiful central Chinese provinces of Gangsu and Shaanxi.
Among the highlights are the 34.5 meter long reclining Buddha at Zhangye, and the Jia Yu pass and fort, known as "The Greatest Pass under Heaven," which formed the western end of the Great Wall during the Ming dynasty.
Dunhuang, located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor, was considered one of the brightest pearls of the ancient Silk Road, and is now famous for the stunning Mogao caves and the picturesque dunes which encircle the city and pull us into the western desert.
The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region occupies fully 1/6th of Chinese territory and is home to 13 ethnic nationalities, including the predominantly Moslem Uyghurs. It is a vast area of stunning contrasts, from Turpan, the lowest point in China, to the Tian Shan or Heavenly Mountains. Departing Dunhaung we mount our bikes and head out along the edge of the Takla Makan desert, which in Uyghur means "enter and never return!"
Along this highway we will visit the Bezseklik Thousand Buddha caves near Turpan, the red sandstone hills of the Flaming Mountains, the Kizil caves northwest of Kucha, and a myriad of spectacular sand mountain landscapes. Here, in the heartland of the Silk Road, the volatile mix of eastern and western cultures has left some superb relics; cities, caves, temples and tombs.
Today the harsh environment of the Takla Makan continues to exude the mysteries that swallowed many caravans in the past. Fortunately our bikes will enable us to escape a similar fate and our fears subside as we approach our rest day in the fabled oasis and isolated market town of Kashgar, where traders from across Asia used to converge.
The next 3 weeks is possibly the most thrilling bicycle tour section ever attempted.
From Kashgar, we head towards the Irkeshtam Pass and Kyrgyzstan, the most accessible of the former Soviet Asian Republics, known for its responsible tourism and hospitable nomadic peoples. After the border formalities we arrive at the junction town of Sary-Tash. At first one senses this new frontier will mark a profound shift in cultures, but in reality Central Asian and Turkic peoples share much of their heritage with the Uyghurs of Western China.
Then it's into Tajikistan, a remote country described by Lonely Planet as "a patchwork of self-contained valleys and regional contrasts, forged together by Soviet nation-building and shared pride in a Persian cultural heritage that is claimed as the oldest and most influential in the Silk Road region."
Here we will embark on our own "Great Game," as the first cycling expedition organized by "foreign devils" to navigate the fabled Pamir Highway, which was off-limits to travelers until recently. Known locally as Bam-i-Dunya (Roof of the World), the Pamirs lie at the heart of the Hindu Kush, Tien Shan and Karakorum ranges, reaching skywards to 7495 meters. Afghanistan beckons to the south, China and Kyrgyzstan to the northeast. Here we face magnificent desolation, and a grueling test of physical and mental strength.
Nomadic herders, warm nights in Yurts, the indescribable beauty of Kara-Kul Lake, and the literally breath taking 4,665 meter Ak-Baital Pass are some of the highlights of this route. Amidst such stunning scenery, travelers should be on the lookout for the giant Marco Polo sheep and the elusive snow leopard, while guarding themselves against altitude sickness.
After crossing our 4th pass of more than 4000 meters, we will reach Khorog, a stones throw from Afghanistan, and the site of our second rest day in this stretch after Kara-kul. From there it's on to the Tajik capital of Dushanbe; transformed from a small village into a city by the Bolsheviks, it will grant us a day to explore its busy markets, and to experience a bit of luxury after the trials of the Pamirs.
Leaving Dushanbe we pedal alongside the Turkistan Range and the Zeravshan river, over passes, and through a vertical world of towering peaks to Penjikent and then onto our next country, Uzbekistan.
From the Uzbekistan border it's a day's ride through the Uzbek countryside to legendary Samarqand, where our eyes will feast on the minarets and domes of Uzbekistan's most glorious city, as written about by James Elroy Flecker in The Golden Journey to Samarqand. From one magical place we cycle towards another; Central Asia's holiest city of Bukkhara. Here you will explore buildings with histories spanning thousands of years and sights seemingly drawn from the medieval tales of flying carpets and 1001 Nights.
Departing Bukkhara, we ride south towards the ancient city of Merv, once one of the most important centres of the Islamic world and today a World Heritage site. In the nearby modern city of Mary, we will recuperate from the heat of the Turkmen desert and visit the restored mausoleum of Sultan Sanjar, ruler of the Seljuk Empire. Turning west we continue through this unusual and spiritual land, inhabited by people of proud traditions, magnificent Ahal Tekke horses and vast natural beauty. Before long, we will reach Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan and a spectacle that must be seen to believed.
Please note that this section begins in Tajikistan, but we cross the border into Uzbekistan on the first riding day. To avoid arranging a Tajik visa in advance, you may wish to consider starting 6 days later in Samarqand, Uzbekistan. Please contact our office and they can help you make the necessary arrangements.
Until his recent death the oil-rich country of Turkmenistan was best known for the bizarre personality cult of its President for Life Saparmurat Miyazov (called "Turkmenbashi," or "leader of the Turkmen"). Ashgabat is a city being transformed into a fantasy of white marble palaces, modern apartment blocks and large fountain complexes. From here we turn south and tackle the high hills of the Turkmen Steppes, whose quiet roads lead to the Iranian border.
Today the wonders of Persian history are veiled by Iran's Islamic Republic and its difficult relations with the western world. At the border crossing the Ayatollah's photo stares down and intimidates the faithless. As we dare to remove the veil and enter a world less traveled, we are rewarded by the hospitality of the Iranian people, the natural beauty of their country and the richness of its history.
After a day of rest in the town of Bojnurd, where we will enjoy rich Iranian cuisine, we pedal towards the provinces of Golestan and North Khorasan. The abundant flora in Golestan National Park will provide a pleasant contrast to the desert's uniformity. These stretches of land were ravaged by the Mongols and then by Tamerlane during the 13th and 14th centuries, leaving little trace of their former glory. Far from the Persian Dynasties of the south, their peoples are eclectic, and not often visited by foreigners; the beauty is in the contrast of skins, the sound of tongues, and the rituals of faith.
Days of "flying on your 2 wheeled carpet" will also orient you into Tarof, the Iranian art of civility. You may find yourself asking a proprietor the price of a Cola, only be told that it is worthless. A long discussion ensues, with the eventual outcome being the purchase is made, but not before you become greatly acquainted with your new friend.
The metropolis of Tehran marks the end of this magical section and the chance to further explore the cultures of ancient and modern day Iran.
Please note that this section begins in Turkmenistan, but we cross the border into Iran on the first day. To avoid arranging a Turkmenistan visa in advance, you may wish to consider starting a few days later in Iran. Please contact our office and they can help you make the necessary arrangements.
Set at the foot of the Alborz Mountains, Tehran is home to 14 million people and Iran's political and social melting pot. Here one can see all the components and contradictions of Iranian society, from traditional chadors to modern fashion, from the National Jewels Museum to miles of unsightly concrete block buildings. While Tehran's size and bustle, markets and youthfulness can be an assault on the senses, a relaxing glass of tea is never far away.
Western Iran has been at the centre of many of civilization's earliest empires, with its fortunes shifting between trading glories and military decimation. Spinning over mountains and past dense forest, our route takes us to Tabriz, once an oasis, now a sprawling city renowned for its Blue Mosque, whose early history is enshrouded in mystery as the possible site of the biblical Garden of Eden.
From Tabriz we'll quickly come to the Turkish border. Our first day in Turkey will be by the Ishak Pasha Palace, an 18th century Ottoman castle built into the side of a mountain, a wonderful place to enjoy a cold beer after the "dryness" of Iran. Afterwards green hills open up into plains where Kurdish shepherds tend their herds. As Mount Ararat, reputedly the resting place of Noah's Ark, sits high in the sky, life appears to have changed little since biblical times.
The final section of our trans-Asian odyssey takes us across the Anatolian plateau to the Bosphorus in Istanbul. Geopolitically Istanbul has been a crossroads between Europe and Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and a center of empires since Roman times. Formerly known as Byzantium and Constantinople, for many centuries it was also a terminus and a starting point for the great overland Silk Road. It is with this knowledge we will cycle towards the western edge of the Asian continent while enjoying the natural diversity and beauty of Turkey.
Eastern Anatolia is the crossroads of the Armenian, Kurdish, Caucasian, Russian, and Turkish cultures. There, nature and civilizations have shifted through time, with palaces, castles, mosques, and churches dotting the rugged countryside. From the historical city of Kars, where Turkey's troubled past can be witnessed by a trip to Ani, the nearby ruins of a great Armenian city during the Middle Ages, we will follow a set of quiet roads along a deep valley in the Kackar Mountains to one of the most relaxed towns on the route, Yusefelli, then onwards to the ancient city of Amasya. Set on a secluded section of the Yesilirmak River, Amasya boasts stunning Ottoman period houses, and grandiose Pontic era tombs carved into Mountain walls.
Our final days will be spent cycling along secondary roads in rural Turkey and across the undulating Anatolian plateau, stopping in beautiful Sanfranbolu for a rest day. As Istanbul and the minarets of Saint Sophia and the Blue Mosque draw near, a feeling of accomplishment and amazement at reaching this stunning city on the Bosphorus will be the reward to those who have covered the distance of Asia and the Silk Road by bicycle.

Dear Mr. Santino, Don't lie about your record on the outfall pipe. If you only decided you were against it once most of Bay Park was covered in raw sewage after Hurricane Sandy, be honest about it. From the March 2008 Herald, Mr. Santino said: "Rather than shutting down the plants in Lawrence and Cedarhurst, and spending, by some estimates, $15 million to build a pipe ... that money can be used to rebuild a plant in Lawrence and Cedarhurst." The fact of the matter is that Santino obstructed the outfall pipe's construction for as long as he could, because he felt the $15 million was better spent on patronage jobs in Lawrence and Cedarhurst than on protecting the residents of Bay Park from unspeakable filth. Now that the direct consequence of his actions has been felt, he would like to rewrite history and pretend he was an advocate of the outfall pipe all along. This dishonesty cannot go unrecognized.
