Low Back Surgery. Anyone with same?
I am scheduled to have a three level fusion in my lower back on December 14th. L3-L4-L5-S1 are the levels involved. I am concerned about the recovery. Dr says minimum of two months for normal activities. But I haven't even told him about riding as I am afraid he will say to give it up which I don't plan on doing.
Anyone one out there with similar surgery? How long until you felt comfortable riding again and maybe being able to pick the bike up in case of a spill? Any riding concessions to be made with this type of fusion? Will I even be able to throw my leg over the bike?
I admit I'm pretty concerned about this and not real sure what to expect.
I think that everyone's experience with this surgery will be different. I've had two surgeries on my lower back and spine at the L4-5 area. My recovery from the first go around took probably 4-5 months before I felt relatively normal but probably a year before I felt my best, which was maybe only 90 percent recovery. I was even able to start golfing again, although not without paying for it in pain for a few days after each round. Then things started going south again and I then had a much more major procedure done which included work on the spine and spinal cord. That one permanently ended my golf and hockey hobbies. I still have some ongoing issues but it's just the way it is so it's just just something you learn to live with. A few times a year I'm physically unable to get up by myself, let alone ride. However, most days I can still ride the V, in winter I can snowmobile and skate, swim, but no golf, tennis, hand ball, hard games of basketball, etc. I can still play catch with my kids and ride dirt bikes with them so the important things for me to do are just fine.
Others I know of bounce right back good as new and within a few months are back to near-normal activities. I hope you're in this category. I think your age and what the surgeons find when they get in there will be big factors.
I'd be really skeptical if someone is telling you that you'll be 100 percent in two months, but the basics should be a breeze to do by then. Just do exactly what the surgeons and post-op therapists tell you to do and you'll give yourself the best chance at a full recovery. I did not always follow that advice and I paid and am still paying a pretty steep price from it. Please be smarter than I was! Giving up riding for a few months while you're recovering is a small, small price to pay for a healthy remainder of your life.
And best of luck to you! Think positive thoughts.
Hey Racefan, Thanks for sharing your experience.
I'm not the greatest patient so I know taking things slow and not getting too anxious will be my challenge. I currently can't get out of bed without having to log roll and last night I thought I was going to drown while soaking my back in the bathtub because I couldn't raise myself up.
As for riding, I find the Strom fairly easy on my back and can last about three hours provided I take a 10 min break every 45 minutes or so. (hard to find riding partners stopping this often!). One of my goals for the surgery is be able to handle some week long rides again which I will use as my motivation to get through the re-hab.
Thanks again and best of luck with your continuing recovery.
Instead of asking a bunch of strangers on teh intarwebs, talk to your surgeon about riding. If he tells you to give it up, see another surgeon that will respect you. Your medical care WILL suffer when you conceal things from your doctor.
Everyone's definition of "quality of life" is different, and yours includes riding motorcycles. You have the right to be treated like an adult. If your doctor scolds you for riding, she or he is not being a realistic doctor.
It may or may not change your treatment, but telling the doctor that your goal is to ride your motorcycle again ASAP will help make sure everyone's on the same page. For example, she or he may ask about the riding position or weight of your bike, or specify a certain time span before you can resume ordinary activities, and ask you to reach another set of goals before you ride.
You'll definitely want to rule out off road riding for quite a while, or at least set a higher goal for your ability to lift since the risk of drops is far greater.
I've recovered from a broken leg in motorcycle crashes twice and resumed riding, and both times my surgeons respected my choice to continue riding with no problems -- in fact, they used my goal to ride again ASAP as a motivator.
Both times, I started off with the lightest bike in my stable -- my KLR650, for example, is much easier to handle than the mighty Vee, so I was riding the KLR for about a month before I felt ready to start using the Vee. I'm also a highly experienced rider, so I was able to start riding again a good bit sooner than a less experienced rider might.
I always made it a point to ride to my followup appointments with my orthopedic surgeon.
You can ignore the "no motorcycles" signs in the parking garages. What they really mean is "no LOUD motorcycles".
I wish you the best with your recovery. Keep us posted!

Don't mean to pry
Had similar surgery a couple of decades ago to resolve a crushed vertebra. Ended up with 3 fused discs and some permanent reinforcing hardware. Ultimately, about as good as before the injury, except for the expected loss of spinal flexibility at the fused section. I'd say recovery hinges on a couple of things. First, do you smoke? My surgeon would have refused me as a patient had I done so, and all my health-care involved relatives said he had the best success record by far, so he probably knew. Second do you have a weight problem, specifically a considerable do-lap? Puts a ton of strain on the back. Third, are you willing to exercise regularly, for the rest of your (active) life? Walking seems to work miracles for back problems, both to help control weight, and to build core strength. When I get lazy and skip walking for a few days, the back starts aching. Your mileage may vary. My opinion is that fusion, assuming it is successful, puts extra strain on the discs just above and below the fusion, so you need to be careful about vertical shocks (like hitting bumps on bikes with poor suspension). I expect you'll be up and around in under a month. But fairly full recovery (depending on age, health, therapy, yada, yada) will be a year or more down the road. And if you have the afore-mentioned weight problem, controlling it will improve the level of recovery and reduce the chance of future problems. Basically, one more thing to think about, health-wise. But depending on the severity of the current condition maybe not much of an alternative.
Year long recovery-ouch!
Hey JimDing. The year for full recovery seems like a very long time but I will gladly trade it for just being able to get out of bed like a normal person again.
Luckily, I've never been a smoker. My Doc also mentioned that smoking really made for long odds of a good outcome and that he would have to add extra hardware if I was a smoker.
I'm carrying only about 10lbs extra which I hope to lose once I can be more active. Won't be able to run, (didn't want to anyway), but walking will not be a problem.
I'm hoping to be back on the bike in three months or so, but will stick to the pavement for a good while. How long till you were back riding?
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I appreciate it.
I think you're right to be concerned. I would wonder what was wrong with you if you weren't concerned.
I'm an RN and I'll tell you I know nothing about back surgery but I do know how important relationships are in health care.
What you really need to do is be talking with your health care providers. You need to tell them what riding bikes means to you and have a serious conversation about what you can realistically expect. A lot of doctors hate motorcycles, don't know about yours. If he does it will be fairly obvious. At that point you need to politely say something like "I understand your concern but this is what I do and I need to know what I can expect physically." I do not suggest that you go 'doctor shopping' until you find one that tells you what you want to hear, you need to use your own good listening skills and evaluate what they are saying. Obviously if riding might do harm to you, then you need to hear that and evaluate the risk.
I will say I've been on the receiving end of a doctor telling me they were concerned about my riding or that I shouldn't do it. So far I've never gotten a concrete reason for that concern other than they don't like bikes so I choose to go on about my business. It is entirely possible in my situation that I will hear a good reason to stop and then I will have to weigh that out.
These are tough decisions, don't get your information from people on the internet. Your case is YOUR individual case. Only you and your providers really know the whole story.
Best of luck to you and I hope it works out well for you.

Doctor knows best
When I was riding dirt bikes, i once had a pain management Doctor tell me to stop riding. He clearly didn't understand the risks as he had never even riden a bike. I am not a risk taker but it was clear that he had a preconceived notion about what riding a bike was all about so I wasn't going to listen. Unfortunately it was one of those visits where my wife had to drive me home so she obviously heard what the Dr had said.
So in an attempt to convince my wife that I truly knew more than the man with 12 yrs of post graduate work did, (after all, I am an engineer and we know everthing), I guess I again violated the internet trust issue and did some searches about riding with back problems. There were actually quite a few articles on the topic. The bottom line for the majority of riders is that ridng is actually good for your back as it strenghens your core muscles helping with stability issues.
I won't be reckless by any means and I do plan to ask my surgeon about it. i just wanted some input from anyone who had similar repairs so I would have something to gauge against.
Thanks again, I do appreciate your imput and feedback. I will let you know I progress following the surgery.
i've not had your surgery but i have had the low back problems--15 years or so ago. i refused surgery, i quit smoking, i got in shape. so i won't address any of those issues. what i will address is giving up the bike as my doctor took mine awy for 4 months. a convertible is not a bike but it is as close as you can get. corvette is a definite replacement. mustang gt's and rs camaros will work to. for the optimium motorcycle experience, a honda s2000 is great but very hard to find and quite expensive. and then there is the MIATA...convertibles are everywhere and many are cheap. good luck with you surgery and re-hab.
as far as the smoking, my former boss's husband needed a liver. the dr's said no transplant until he had been quit smoking for a year. everybody lied to the dr's...said he quit...he didn't live through the surgery, just like the dr said.
I understand the concern about the doctor you talked to who basically heard nothing but motorcycle and said stop riding. I wouldn't like that either.
I think the best you can do is broach the subject with this one, kind of get a feel for his attitude and go from there. If he's a reasonable person at all perhaps he can have some really good ideas for your rehabilitation. Besides at some point you will undoubtedly be doing physical therapy and a lot of those people are pretty reasonable.
Lacking anything else one might at some point consider consulting someone in sports medicine, particularly if you can find one who has some experience with bike racers.
You sound like a perfectly reasonable person, even if you are an engineer (my best friend is an engineer so I got your joke) so I'm sure you will know to ask the right questions.
Good luck to you, I hope it comes out well and that instead of limiting your life it becomes an improvement in quality.

Comments about Yakima Holdup Plus 2 Bike Add-On 2013:
I bought this along with the base unit and it has all of the same brags, well built, strong, good design. It comes with a red flag and mounting staff since the rack protrudes so far behind the vehicle, that makes a long load closer to legal. (Zip tie the flag to the staff, I can't imagine the supplied two sided tape will hold for long.) In true Yakima standards the flag set is well designed & built and in fact makes the long rack more noticeable to our fellow road warriors during daylight hours. I haven't used it with 4 bikes mounted yet… it mounts right under the 4th bike, hmmm. Also included are two blinky tail lights (just like the $6 tail light on your road bike) that are nice thought by some lawyer type at the last minute. Mounting is rather guessy. Taking the visibility theme one important step further I fabricated a 48" LED tail light bar to mount back there. It's full featured with running, brake and turn signals. After all, your vehicle's tail lights are not very loud when you have 4 bikes mounted.
I'm comfortable trusting this thing to carry nearly $20,000 worth of bikes.

DURHAM — One of the greatest athletes in Kinston's proud sports history passed away this week when Bryant Aldridge died Wednesday at the Hillcrest Convalescence Center in Durham.
He was 79.
While at Grainger High School from 1948-52, Aldridge played football, basketball and baseball for coaching legends Frank Mock and Amos Sexton. He was the only Red Devil in the school's history to earn 12 varsity letters and to be a co-captain in those sports.
Aldridge helped lead the Red Devils to three state championships — two in baseball (1949, 1950) and one in basketball (1950).
But it was on the Grainger Stadium gridiron that Aldridge made his strongest mark, as he was named an All-American at fullback his senior season. He represented Kinston in the 1951 Shrine Bowl game, where he was named a co-captain. He later played in the East-West All-Star game in Greensboro.
He had the unique distinction of being the only student in Grainger history to be voted class president all four years in high school.
Following graduation from Grainger, he earned a football scholarship to Duke University, where he helped lead the Blue Devils to a 35-7 victory against Nebraska in the 1955 Orange Bowl.
Aldridge was inducted into the Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame in 2007 in the Hall's second class.
He influenced many Kinston boys to follow in his footsteps, including George Whitfield, a legendary Grainger athlete in his own right who was later inducted into a dozen different sports halls of fame, including Kinston/Lenoir County's.
"He was my hero, but he was that to a lot of other boys, too," Whitfield said. "We all looked up to him because he always seemed to do the right thing. He was not only a great athlete, he was a good student, a good person and very polite to everyone."
His athletic skills were impressive, said Alley Hart, a Grainger basketball great who graduated from GHS in 1957 and later starred at Wake Forest.
"In my opinion, he's probably the greatest athlete to ever come out of Kinston," said Hart, a 2010 KLCSHOF inductee. "There have been so many great athletes to come through Kinston, but he was the greatest."
As kind as he was off the gridiron, baseball field or basketball gym, he earned a distinctive nickname when he was participating in game action.
"I never saw a person who had as wonderful a demeanor as Bryant did," Whitfield said. "But on Friday night when the lights went on, he turned into a bull, which is why we nicknamed him Bull Aldridge. He was a strong runner, a crushing blocker and a tremendous athlete."
Following his Red Devil and Blue Devil sports careers, Aldridge worked as an administrator at Watts Hospital in Durham (1960-63) and as the director of internal operations at Greenville General Hospital (1963-66). He spent 1966-1998 as the president of Nash General Hospital in Rocky Mount. In 1999, a new 23-bed rehabilitation center, located adjacent to Nash General Hospital was named the Bryant T. Aldridge Rehabilitation Center.
He is survived by his wife, Jean Carol Peake Aldridge; two children, Bryant Aldridge Jr. and Myra Allison Aldridge Forrester; one sister, Nancy Aldridge Cherry; six grandsons, one nephew and three nieces.
A celebration of his life will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 19 at the First United Methodist Church, 100 S. Church St., Rocky Mount.
There is certain to be a packed house on hand to remember a man who influenced many throughout the state of North Carolina.
"All of us who loved Grainger and loved athletics will miss him," Whitfield said. "He was just a wonderful man."

For many European and American citizens the World Bank is a peripheral institution, rarely felt and barely understood. But in impoverished developing countries, the Bank has exerted a tremendous influence over national budgets profoundly altering the survival strategies and basic life chances of the poor majorities of those nations. As a hegemonic voice in development economics, the World Bank is a felt–and often feared– presence in the lives of the world's most destitute. Too often, this well-heeled international lender's imposition of "structural adjustment reforms" has backfired, harming more than helping the poor. This month's election of a new World Bank President is an unparalleled opportunity to refashion the Bank into the effective instrument to eradicate global poverty it was meant to be. No one is better equipped to lead this mammoth undertaking than Dr. Jim Yong Kim, President Obama's nominee to lead the World Bank. Continue reading

Anuna Hits Game-Winning Jumper with 0.7 Seconds Left in OT to Lift Men's Basketball Past Mount Olive 91-89
January 5, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. KC Anuna (Nashville, TN) knocked down a fade away jumper from just above the free throw line with 0.7 seconds left in overtime to send Pfeiffer University to a thrilling 91-89 victory over Mount Olive College in the 2012 Conference Carolinas home opener on Thursday night. Anunas clutch shot moves the Falcons to their third-straight win now 8-4 overall, 2-0 in league play while the Trojans drop to 8-4, 1-1.
Neither team could manage a point in the first 2:11 of overtime until Danny Smith (Baltimore, MD) converted a jumper and three-point play to give Pfeiffer its first lead since the 6:34 mark of the first half. After a three-pointer from Elijah Matthews (Clinton, MD) put the Falcons up five with 75 seconds left, a three by Mount Olives Derek Staton (Norfolk, VA) and layup by Craig Hayes (Woodbridge, VA) with 17 seconds left set the stage for Anuna. Driving towards the lane, Anuna would stop and pop to hit the game-winner with 0.7 remaining.
Just to force overtime, the Falcons needed to erase an 11-point deficit with 8:24 to play in regulation. The comeback began with another triple from Matthews as his long-range shot started a 13-4 run capped by another basket of his for a 76-74 ballgame with 3:46 remaining.
A pair of Deshaune Green (Portsmouth, VA) free throws put the Trojans back up five with 2:20 on the clock until a layup from Anuna and three-point play by Matthews, that started from a steal on a Mount Olive in-bound pass, squared the contest at 81-81. With under a minute left in regulation, Kendall Hargrove (Woodbridge, VA) hit both free throw attempts with 24 ticks left to put Mount Olive back up two.
Out of a 30-second Pfeiffer timeout, Smith would drive the lane and convert the lay in for the ninth tie of the night eventually sending it into overtime. Anuna, before thoughts of a game-winner in overtime, perhaps saved the game for the Falcons blocking a Dory Hines (Kinston, NC) game-winning jumper attempt as the buzzer sounded to end regulation.
Pfeiffer shot 52% from the floor in the victory led by Smiths 26 and Anunas 21. Hargrove and Staton each finished in the 20-point category for Mount Olive with 27 and 21 respectively. The Falcons defense held the Trojans to a 38% shooting percentage in the second half to get back in the contest, while limiting the visitors to just 20% shooting in the extra session.
After a quick day off on Friday, the Falcons will take a trip to Lees-McRae on Saturday completing their three-game stretch in the first week of league play. Tip time is set for 4:00 p.m. with live stats and video being available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Detailed Itinerary
Depart from origin. If you are commencing your journey from the United States, we can recommend the best airlines and routings for your particular needs. We can also introduce you to consolidators who offer discounted fares (First, Business and Economy) on these flights. This is a service provided solely as a convenience and extra value for our guests. We do not sell airline tickets to people not touring with us.
1. Rooms for two children 11 or younger can be included at no charge, depending on availability.
2. Extensions can be facilitated to include more days and / or other destinations.
3. If the Elephanta cave excursion at Mumbai does not interest you, this itinerary can be reduced by one day.
4. This itinerary will need to be adjusted for the Taj Mahal's closure on Fridays.
Day 1: Arrive at Mumbai (most flights arrive either in the evening or at night). Our services begin here. You are greeted at the airport by an Easy Tours Travel Facilitator and then ushered to a chauffeur driven vehicle. You are then driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check in. The next day's plans are briefly reviewed and you are presented with your welcome package. Among other things, this package includes a beautiful handcrafted journal for your explorations, travel documents such as your air tickets and hotel vouchers, as well as copies of documents (such as our General Travel Guide) that were sent to you earlier.
Day 2: Mumbai. You are at leisure this morning to recuperate from your international flight.
Late morning - proceed for a guided excursion to the Elephanta Island Caves. Depending on your arrival at the jetty, you will stop for photo opportunities at the city's signature landmark, The Gateway of India, either before you depart or when you return from this excursion.Located overlooking Mumbai's harbor this structure was built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Mumbai. It is also the ceremonial gateway that the last British Viceroy departed from when India gained Independence.
You are assisted in boarding the boat for the one hour journey. Elephanta is Mumbai's most significant tourist attraction and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are five Hindu Caves dedicated to Lord Shiva and two Buddhist caves. Your tour will focus on the Hindu Caves. Carved out of hard basalt between 450 A.D. and 750 A.D., the main cave was an active place of worship till the Portuguese conquered the area and inflicted severe damage to the caves in the early 16th century. In its heyday the island was known as Gharapuri (the Fortress city) and there is still a village on the island with the same name. The island was renamed Elephanta by the Portuguese. Although the caves have many massive sculptures of Lord Shiva and other divinities, the most impressive creation at Elephanta is the Trimurthi sculpture. This20 foot tall three headed figure portrays the three manifestations of Lord Shiva – The Creator of all life, The Preserver of humanity and The Destroyer of the world.
You will be escorted back to your hotel after your excursion to Elephanta.
Day 3: Mumbai – Jaipur. You are assisted with your check out in the mid-morning. Enjoy a guided city tour of Mumbai. The tour begins at the Prince of Wales Museum, built to commemorate King George V's first visit to India in 1905. Designed in the Indo-Saracenic style, the museum has sections of art, paintings, archeological exhibits and natural history. After the museum tour you will visit the famous Dhobi Ghat & observe the age old tradition of the Dhobi's doing Mumbai's laundry!
Continue the tour with a drive up to Malabar Hill, where the hanging gardens give a panoramic view of the city and the Queen's Necklace (Marine Drive). The tour then takes a drive through the Flora Fountain and Fort area, where you can view the impressive Gothic and Victorian buildings that were constructed during the British Raj. Visit Victoria Terminus (now known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus). It is India's finest example of a Gothic architecture and one of the world's busiest railway stations.
Drive around Horniman Circle and visit the Town Hall, right besides the docks of Mumbai.
Late afternoon - You are driven to the airport where you are assisted in boarding the flight to Jaipur. You are greeted at the airport by an Easy Tours Travel Facilitator and driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check-in.
Jaipur is famous for its carpets, jewelry & handicrafts.
Day 4: Jaipur. Start your day with an excursion to Amber Fort & Palace. Just like the Emperors of a few centuries ago, enjoy the ascent up to the ramparts of the fort on top of a colorfully caparisoned elephant (jeeps are available instead of the elephants, if you so desire). The massive Fort complex was originally built by Raja Mansingh and is one of India's finest examples of Rajput architecture. Explore the chambers and hallways of the Palace which are famous for their exquisite designs and handcrafted embellishments. Return to the valley beneath the Fort on your elephant or jeep and proceed back to the Pink City.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon – Experience a guided city tour of the walled city of Jaipur, including the magnificent City Palace. Visit Jantar Mantar (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the magnificent stone observatory built by Raja Jai Singh in 1728. After the observatory comes a photo opportunity of the 'Hawa Mahal' (Palace of the Wind. This intriguing facade was built in 1799 so that the ladies of the court could use its unique windows and observe the bustling bazaar, without being visible to the people on the streets. Continue the tour with an exploration of the City Palace, the former royal residence (a part of it is still occupied by the Royal family and is not accessible to the public), built in a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles. This immense complex also houses a number of museums that offer a large and impressive collection of miniature paintings, costumes, and armory.
Evening – You can either choose to enjoy your hotel this evening, or select from one of these two escorted excursions. You can visit the home of a Rajasthani Nobleman and enjoy a traditional dinner with members of the family, or you can enjoy a dinner and Rajasthani cultural show that includes regional dance, music and acrobatic performances.
Day 5: Jaipur - Ranthambore. You are at leisure to enjoy the facilities of one of the world's finest luxury resorts this morning. You are assisted with yourcheck out at noon and you proceed on the journey to Sawai Madhopur (Ranthambore National Park). Most of this drive is through rural Rajasthan and there are multiple photo opportunities of the colorful villagers as they go about their daily activities. You will also encounter many camels and other livestock on this drive.
You are greeted on arrival at your jungle lodge and assisted with your check-in.
Since 2006, Easy Tours of India has tracked the percentage of tiger sightings for our guests in Ranthambore National Park. Over 85% of our guests have had tiger sightings during this period, with many of them getting multiple sightings.
Day 6: Ranthambore. Covering an area of 410 sq. km, Ranthambore National Park runs along the eastern spur of the Aravali mountain range until it meets with the Vindhya ranges. Ranthambore used to be the private hunting ground of the rulers of Jaipur. In 1972 it was declared a Sanctuary and was brought under the Project Tiger Conservation platform.
Dry deciduous forest covers most of the park, and the vegetation is lush around the many small lakes and ponds. The open grasslands that are the tiger's favorite terrain account for much of the land on the higher slopes. This varied flora supports a large number of animals including a variety of deer, the sloth bear, the shy caracal, leopards and of course, the tiger.
Enjoy wildlife safaris in to the park in the morning and evening.
In between safaris, you have the option of a guided visit to the Ranthambore Fort. This excursion does have a fairly steep climb – approximately 700 feet of stairs. The massive Fort is one of the finest examples of the ancient Hindu concept of "Vana-Durg", or a fort protected by a jungle. The history of this Fort (originally built in 944 AD) is a chronicle full of tales of blood and valor. Successively occupied by the Muslims, Rajputs and Mughals, the insides of the fort today lie partly in ruins. There are superb views of the park to be had from the ramparts. There is an ancient temple located in the fort and it attracts a continuous stream of pilgrims from the surrounding villages. A little note of caution – a large number of aggressive langur's (South Asian monkeys) have made the Fort area their home and it is not advisable to have shiny objects and food visible in your hands as you tour the fort, as it will be snatched away.
Day 7: Ranthambore – Agra. Enjoy your last safari into Ranthambore in the morning. Return to your hotel after the safari to freshen up and have breakfast. You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel and then you are driven to Agra. The first half of this drive is also through rural Rajasthan and there are multiple photo opportunities. Sawai Madhopur itself (the community located next to Ranthambore) is a rural small town and you will drive though it to get a glimpse of life here before you proceed on your drive. Arrive at Fatehpur Sikri and enjoy a guided exploration of this beautiful uninhabited city. It was built by Emperor Akbar between 1570 and 1585 and is constructed primarily out of red sandstone. The Emperor moved his capital from Agra to this city and then, a few years later, abandoned it, returning back to Agra. Visit the tallest gateway in the world, the towering Bulund Darwaza (The Gate of Victory). In the northern part of the courtyard is the superb white marble tomb of Shaik Salim Chishti, built in 1570.
There is a break for Lunch.
Continue on your drive to Agra. Arrive at Agra and you are assisted with your check in at your hotel.
Agra's artists are famous for their creations in inlaid marble.
Day 8: Agra. You are at leisure this morning to enjoy the facilities at your hotel.
Early afternoon - start your exploration of Agra with a half day guided city tour of the magnificent monuments of this city. This exploration includes a visit to the famous tomb of Itmad-Ud–Daulah. This was built by Mughal Emperor Jehangir's queen as a memorial to her father. The tombs sheer beauty will surprise you – the only reason it does not get more accolades is because it shares the stage with the incomparable Taj Mahal. Like the Taj it has amazingly intricate 'Pietra Dura' inlay and lattice marble screens. The mausoleum rests in a walled garden with a view of the river Yamuna. Constructed in the year 1628, most historians believe that its design provided the inspiration for the Taj Mahal. After your exploration of the tomb you will visit the first red sandstone fort of North India, the Agra Fort. It was built in 1565 by India's greatest Mughal ruler, Emperor Akbar. Its royal audience halls, immense stone courtyards, marble mosque and the private royal chambers give us a glimpse of the grandeur of the Mughal Empire.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon - Visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the incomparable Taj Mahal. The world's greatest monument dedicated to love is obviously a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Taj Mahal was completed by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 AD as a memorial to his beloved queen, Mumtaz Mahal. This spectacular white marble mausoleum was created by about 22,000 skilled craftsmen and it took twenty two years to complete. When you experience the Taj Mahal with an Easy Tours Guide and have them provide unique insights into its innumerable facets, some of their passion for this masterpiece may rub off on you! Explore the amazing Taj and its surroundings until it is time to admire the sun's rays setting on the façade of the world's finest monument.
Day 9: Agra – Delhi. You can either sleep in or chose to enjoy either of these two optional (no charge) excursions - a sunrise visit to Mehtab Bagh, which is a 500 year old Mughal garden located across from the Taj Mahal on the other side of the Yamuna River; or a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal (Closed on Fridays). If you select either of the latter options, you will return to your hotel to freshen up after the excursion. You can choose to enjoy the facilities at your amazing hotel till just before noon. If you do not start fairly early in the morning (enabling you to dine on arrival at Delhi), we recommend that you get a packed lunch from the hotel for your journey. You are assisted with your check out of the hotel and driven to Delhi. You are assisted with your check-in to your hotel on your arrival at Delhi.
Day 10: Delhi – International Flight. Continue your exploration of India with a guided city tour of Old Delhi after you check out of your hotel. If you are boarding a late evening/early morning international flight after this tour, you can sleep in this morning and start this day's activity in the mid-morning. If you are boarding a flight back to Mumbai (or elsewhere in India), this tour may need to be abbreviated so that you can check-in on time for your flight.
Drive, walk and ride through the ancient city's streets and alleys; explore crowded and colorful bazaars. This excursion includes an exploration of the Jama Masjid, completed in 1650 AD and the largest mosque in India. You continue on to the amazing Red Fort that was finished a decade before the mosque. Both structures were built by Shah Jahan, the emperor that created the Taj Mahal. The Masjid (Mosque) is a magnificent example of Mughal architecture and is constructed of red sandstone and white marble. It is an active place of worship and its courtyard can hold 25,000 worshippers.
The great city inside the massive sandstone walls of the Red Fort offers visitors a large number of architectural and historical attractions; it was once known as the 8th wonder of the world. The Red Fort was the seat of the Mughal Empire for more than two hundred and fifty years and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is an amazing example of a blend of Persian, Indian, and European architecture.
Once you leave the Fort you will experience a rickshaw ride in the alleys of the ancient bazaar at Chandni Chowk. After experiencing the crowded and colorful bazaar you will proceed to your last destination in Old Delhi. The cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi (Raj Ghat) is a simple yet stirring memorial to the father of the nation. Lush lawns extend beyond the enclosure that surrounds the black marble platform occupying the spot where the Mahatma was cremated. An eternal flame burns next to the platform.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon – enjoy a city tour of New Delhi. This excursion begins with a drive past Safdarjang's Tomb (1753 AD) while driving to the awe-inspiring Qutab Minar (1193 A.D.). This 239 ft tall medieval tower is a symbol of victory and a beautiful example of Persian architecture from that period. There is a winding stairway inside the tower that goes up all the way to the balcony at the very top of the tower – unfortunately they are no longer accessible for visitors. The Qutab Minar and its Monuments are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Within the Qutab complex, amidst the ruins of the Quwat-ul-Islam Mosque, stands one of the legendary Ashoka Pillars. This large iron pillar has withstood the ravages of Delhi's weather (and recent pollution) and has not rusted in over 1500 years. After the Qutab complex you will be driven to visit the magnificent tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun. Delhi has such an abundance of amazing monuments that this Tomb Complex (1562 A.D.) does not quite get the acclaim that it deserves. It is Delhi's third UNESCO World Heritage Site and its amazing architecture and the elaborate gardens (all currently undergoing restoration) will captivate you.
From the tomb you will proceed on a drive to Lutyens' New Delhi. Time permitting, this drive will include photo opportunities at some of the following attractions - the exterior of the massive and awe-inspiring Rashtrapati Bhawan (known as Viceroy's House during the British era), Delhi's landmark structure India Gate, a golden domed Sikh Temple (Bangla Sahib Gurudwara), & the Birla Temple. The last part of this excursion is a drive through Connaught Place, which is New Delhi's downtown.
If you are boarding an afternoon or early evening flight to Mumbai (or elsewhere), this tour may need to be shortened, depending on the time of your flight.
If you are boarding your international flight (usually late evening or early morning), your vehicle and chauffeur stay with you until your assisted check in at the airport. This is a good time to do some last minute shopping and/or sightseeing if you are so inclined. If your international flight departs early in the morning you may want us to arrange a room for you so you can rest.
Our services end at Delhi airport. Please let us know if you would like us to quote transfer services in Mumbai (or any other city), or if you will need a chauffeur and vehicle in the other city while you wait for your international flight.

Nicknamed "The King of Hollywood" in his heyday, Clark Gable has that sophisticated, but masculine style that is still pertinent and in vogue today. In his honour, and with respect to his killer mustache, we bring you an entirely unique shoe that features soft Italian faux-python leather uppers, rounded toes with a decent toe spring, and long laces that wraparound the sole and instep numerous times. Being a fashion cross between classic and ultra-chic, we hope the Gable will bring in an onslaught of vintage mustaches and bare chests.

25,000 feet above Buffalo and more than an hour after the last notes rang out at Darien Lake Performing Arts Center, and Tom Petty is still buzzing about the show.
"Did you hear Crosby, Stills and Nash tonight?" he asks excitedly, taking a sip of coffee. "I stopped by the stage when we got there and listened to them for a few minutes. Man, they were great! Stephen's guitar playing was so good, and David and Graham sounded amazing. What a show!"
What a show, indeed. Playing their last date on the Mojo tour, CSN shined, delivering a set worthy of their legendary reputation with classics like "Our House," "Teach Your Children," "Almost Cut My Hair," "Love The One You're With," "Woodstock" and a whole host of others that utterly captivated the 22,000-capacity amphitheater for their 90-minute set. Seemingly sensing the high bar set by CSN, Tom and the boys took the stage promptly at nine and didn't let up for the next two hours. "You Don't Know How It Feels" got the place rockin' early, but it was "Free Fallin'" that really drew the crowd in tonight. "Good Enough" is turning into a Petty classic before our eyes on this tour, and Mike didn't spare any expense on it tonight, strangling notes out of his Gibson like his life depended on it.
We're headed to the Blossom Center outside of Cleveland to wrap up the third leg of the Mojo summer tour! Come out and see us, and be sure to check back for more photos, videos and recaps!

even better than i had pictured myself
I loved my save the date magnets but I was really nervous about buying invitations online without seeing them. I made several edits and the designer sent me proofs and my invitations arrived yesterday. I am beyond thrilled with how beautiful they are. My expectations were exceeded by far, they are beautiful and of such quality and done to my exact specifications. I cant get them in the mail to my friends and family fast enough. So so happy!!!
Very Classy
This card arrived in the amount of time expected. It was on thick cardstock and looked just like the pictures. They were beautiful. I did have some trouble with the sizing of the letters and the placement of certain parts of the invitation. There was not ample amounts of space if you are looking for the traditionally worded invitation (all numbers spelled out into words, both sets of parents...etc.). However, these are great if you plan on using enclosure cards!
Fancy Invites
I could not be happier, the colors that I chose are so vibrant, the texture of the paper and quality of the printing is amazing. I was worried that my invitations would look cheap and look like I designed them on the net, but they look professional. Whenever I had a concern there was always someone to address it, even at 11:30 at night. I am very greatful and look forward to using Magnet Street's services in the future. Thank you!!!
Beautiful and simple!
So easy to customize with your own colors. Fast shipping too!
Love them but slightly subdued
I love the invitations! I can't wait to send them out, but when I got them in the mail they were a little different than I expected. Online when I changed the color of the vine designs to match our wedding colors the purple was bright and cheery, but they actually look like a very deep plum almost black. Which is okay-- they just look more subdued than the pretty purple I was hoping for. Otherwise the design is beautiful, paper is strong and the delivery and service was a breeze to send home. I ended up purchasing the envelope inserts to spruce up the white invitations, white envelopes and white card inserts. I love Magnet street!

A Reading
Charles K. Williams started writing poetry when he was 19, shortly after taking his last required English class at the University of Pennsylvania. "Poetry didn't find me, in the cradle or anywhere near it: I found it," he recalled. "I realized at some point— very late, it's always seemed— that I needed it, that it served a function for me— or someday would— however unclear that function may have been at first." Williams found his voice as a poet in the mid-sixties when writing to a magazine editor about the violence directed against civil rights activists. The process of writing this letter opened up a new way of thinking for Williams— a paradigm for writing all of his poetry. The result was "A Day for Anne Frank," a meditation that linked the civil rights movement with the Holocaust and became the opening poem of his first collection, Lies (1969). "After the Anne Frank poem . . . I seemed to be able to write poems I wanted to write, in a way that satisfied me, that made the struggle with the matter and form and surface of the poems bearable, and, more to the point, purposeful," wrote Williams. The Singing, Williams' most recent collection, explores topics surrounding aging: the loss of loved ones, the love of grandchildren, and the struggle to retain memories of childhood even while dealing with the complexity of current events. Today, Williams is considered one of the most esteemed living American poets.
Williams is the author of numerous books of poetry, including The Singing (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2003), which won the National Book Award; Repair (1999), winner of a Pulitzer Prize; The Vigil (1997); A Dream of Mind (1992); Flesh and Blood (1987), which won the National Book Critics Circle Award; Tar (1983); With Ignorance (1997); I Am the Bitter Name (1992); and Lies (1969). Among his many awards and honors are an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Award, the PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry, the Twentieth Annual Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize; and a Pushcart Prize. Williams teaches in the creative writing program at Princeton University and lives part of each year in Paris.

NEW ORLEANS - You might not know Dave MacLellan, but you'll likely remember his mission to find his son's killer, but now MacLellan's unparalleled determination has been cut short.
Those who knew him say no one worked harder to find his son's killer than MacLellan, but now they are mourning his passing. The Boston native recently died of a heart attack.
'My son was a good person, a fine Jesuit education. He appeared to be in the wrong place at the wrong time,' MacLellan told Eyewitness News in 2010.
Dave's son, John MacLellan, 38, was shot and killed during a robbery attempt while walking to his Lakeview home back in 2004.
Since that time, for years, MacLellan made almost monthly trips to New Orleans to keep the cold case alive.
He would walk the streets, putting up posters of his son's picture and meeting with New Orleans police cold case detectives about progress. Typically he would head home for Boston with little success, but he never stopped coming.
He became such a fixture in the criminal justice system that he began to volunteer his time with the local Crimestoppers team.
'Obviously his love for his son motivated his efforts in trying to find his son's killers, and law enforcement worked very closely with him for a long time, and it's one of those cases we really wish we could solve,' said Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand in an interview Wednesday.
Crimestoppers officials say they will continue MacLellan's fight for justice in his son's case as they do for all cold cases.
Anyone with a tip about this case or any cold case is asked to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or 1-877-903-STOP. You can remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward.

We have featured puppies for the past several weeks and most of them have been adopted, which is great for the babies. Now, we want to concentrate on our older pets that need homes too. This beautiful yellow lab mix is Lacie. She is about 6 years old and loves everybody. Lacie's previous owner died suddenly last year which left her homeless.
She gets along great with cats and dogs. Lacie is very smart and very sweet. Lacie is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines and micro-chipped. She will be at the PetSmart from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday and noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, 3698 E. Franklin Blvd., Gastonia. Tri-County Animal Rescue will have many other pets for adoption at PetSmart this weekend and we'll also be at the store from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday.
UPDATE: Last week's featured pet, Mo the Jack Russell Terrier, is still available. Please come adopt him!
Everyone loves kittens and puppies… they are cute and playful. Puppies and kittens are easy to adopt out because they are just so adorable! It is not so easy to find homes for the older, adult cats and dogs. There are many loving senior pets who need "retirement homes" to call their own. They may not be cute and playful but they have many years left to give and receive love. They just need someone to love them in return.
1. Older dogs have manners. Unlike puppies, many grown-up dogs have spent years living with a family and being socialized to life with humans. They may have received obedience training and respond to commands like sit, stay, and down. They have probably been taught what "no" means. They are more mellow and tend to have better house manners. While many are still active, they are just as content to relax at home with you.
2. Senior pets are less destructive. Most older adoptive pets are well past the search-and-destroy phase. Puppies will chew most anything while they're in their teething stage, and kittens have yet to learn what's appropriate to scratch and what is not! You don't need to worry so much about finding your favorite pair of shoes or a table leg chewed beyond recognition. Chances are your senior kitty has no urge to overturn your potted plants or shred the furniture.
3. What you see is what you get. A senior pet holds no surprises as to how big he might get, what color his adult coat will be, or whether his hips will be healthy . Puppies and kittens have a lot of growing to do and they may develop into an adult that is different from what you expected. A senior pet comes to you with his own history, which makes his future much more predictable than that of an 8-week old puppy or kitten.
4. You can teach an old dog new tricks. Adult dogs can focus on the task at hand. Puppies tend to have a short attention span, while older dogs learn quickly. The older dogs are more eager to please their humans.
5. Senior pets are often already housetrained. Dogs will know how to ask to be let outside when they need to go, and cats will know how to use their litter boxes.
6. You will have more time for yourself and to enjoy your pet, instead of cleaning up after them, attending to frequent bathroom breaks, teaching them manners, and all the other stuff that's necessary when you have a youngster.
7. Senior pets are great company for senior citizens. Many elderly people find the calm presence of an older pet very comforting. They appreciate having a companion who is also 'getting up there' in age, doesn't mind hearing the same stories again and again, and is content to move through life at a slower speed.
8. Older pets are relaxing to hang out with. Senior dogs and cats have all the basics down and aren't full of wild energy to burn. They are content to just relax with you.
9. Adopted senior pets are grateful for your kindness. Somehow, older pets seem to know you gave them a home when no one else would. Many new owners form a close bond very quickly with their senior dog or cat, because the pet shows them a level of attention and devotion that is unique to older adopted animals.
10. You can be a hero to a deserving dog or cat. Almost without exception, people who adopt older animals feel a special sense of pride and purpose in opening their heart to a hard-to-place pet. Doing a good thing really does make you feel good!
Tri-County Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization serving Lincoln, Gaston and other surrounding counties, committed to ending pet homelessness in this area. Volunteers and donations to continue the mission of finding homes for these unwanted animals are needed.

Amazing invitation
My wedding invitations came out beautifully. The quality & quantity for the price is great. I was able to customize every color and every font. Thanks to the "Just One" option, I was able to see how the invite looked in person. I realized I wanted the font larger and some of the colors lighter. I was able to make the changes before I committed to my final order and I couldn't be happier. I have no complaints about this product :)
Great Invitations!
I was so pleased with this design - it's a sturdy invitation and the matching programs are adorable! I am excited to start mailing them :)
Excellent Invitations!
I ordered my save the dates through this company and got their sample book. I was surprised at the quality of the samples because the prices are really very reasonable. I decided to order my invitations through MagnetStreet as well and could not be happier! The invitations are beautiful, the colors are vibrant and the quality is great. Also, I made an error when placing my order and double ordered some envelopes for the RSVP's. The customer service department noticed the excess of RSVP envelopes and emailed me to double check. When I said I did not want the extra envelopes I was immediately given a refund on my card. I will use magnet street for all of my cards and invitations in the future!
Just received these yesterday and could not have been more pleased with the outcome! They are absolutely perfect! They are different and unique but still classy. The paper is high quality the print is wonderful. I can't say enough about how fabulous the customer service reps were and they only took 1 week from the date I ORDERED to come in!! SO THRILLED! Thank you MagnetStreet!

Set in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, the three Magrath sisters have gathered during their grandfather's final hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at thirty and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg, the middle sister, who quickly outgrew Hazlehurst, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast; while Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles, grave and yet, somehow, hilarious, are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. In the end the play is the story of how its young characters escape the past to seize the future, but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.

As you probably have guessed by now, I'm quite different from the other Parisians. Aside from my less-than-stellar command of the language and a rather bizarre desire not to walk right into others on the sidewalk, I don't buy that many baguettes.
It's not that I don't like them. (Baguettes, I mean—although I like Parisians too…except when they walk right into you.) It's just that we eat so much bread around here and I have a preference for heartier, more rustic breads, often loaves riddled with seeds, and heavy with les multigrains. And lately Apollonia Poilâne has been spearheading efforts to wean Parisians off baguettes too, although from the looks of things, she's not having much of an impact: Locals still line up before lunch and then return before dinner for their fresh, crackly baguette at their local boulangerie.
Did you know the word 'baguette' means 'stick' or 'wand' in French and if you want chopsticks in an Asian restaurant, you ask for "les baguettes, s'il vous plaît"? And I can't tell you how many dinners I've been to where the discussion about which bakery, and where, has a better baguette caused nearly violent disagreement. There's even a contest with a Grand Prix in Paris to come up with a winner every year.

Good afternoon,
I have a problem because my website looks different in IE8 and IE9/10.
You see the title is missing. Also, in my left widget bar on my website the title for the widget show orange in IE8 and show grey in IE9/10.
I hoped choosing for 'Include Google IE Compatibility Script?' would help me, but it did not change. So what do I have to do and does it makes sense to still have activated 'Include Google IE Compatibility Script?'....
Hope to hear from you.
Different layout IE8 vs IE9/10

Saru says it will welcome Argentina into the Vodacom Tri-Nations, barely a year after the Pumas were excluded from the five-year Murdoch deal.
The Pumas are desperate for some regular competition and have even spoken of their desire to join the Six Nations. If they were allowed a seat at the Tri-Nations table it would only be from 2011.
"We would support your request to play in the Tri-Nations," Saru deputy chief executive Mveleli Ncula told the Argentinean ambassador to South Africa at a function. "If the idea of including the Pumas ever reached the Sanzar boardroom we would offer our support at those discussions."
"We belong in a tournament in the southern hemisphere and not in an expanded Six Nations," ambassador Carlos Sersale di Cerisano said. "But at this stage that possibility is at least five years away."
Springbok coach Jake White said he would welcome the inclusion of the Pumas.
"I think it would add a new dimension to the tournament and perhaps refresh it," White said. "Many people have been calling for a return to longer tours instead of a Tri-Nations, but perhaps the inclusion of Argentina would be another option.
"It would mean vast travelling distances, which might help us as New Zealand and Australia would have to travel more than they currently do.
"Argentina have improved their player base tremendously through the French league, and the Tri-Nations would give them a chance to regularly play as a national team and further improve their rugby."

ASA teacher and coach licensing
The dynamic nature of the aquatic profession sometimes brings about the need for change.
The teacher/coach Licensing Scheme for Aquatic Professionals is being phased out between now and March 2015.
The ASA are no longer able to accept any licence renewals or new applications.
All current licences will remain valid until 1st March 2015.
Change to swim21 criteria
In the light of these changes, from 1st March 2015 there will no longer be a requirement for clubs to provide an ASA licence as part of the swim21 criteria with regard to their head teacher or coach. Instead, teachers and coaches can meet the criteria by supplying the following evidence:
- Qualification
- Disclosure & Barring Service check
- Safeguarding evidence
- Appraisal outcomes
Alternatively, teachers can supply confirmation of their RAPs membership.
If you have any queries please email firstname.lastname@example.com
