Our guests say it best …
'Prior to my arrival I was not sure what to expect, but once I walked through the front door what I saw exceeded my expectations. Upon arrival Mrs. Ruby, Dave and the staff gave us a very warm welcome, I instantly felt at home. The service was exceptional and the food was great. Mrs. Ruby saw to it that all our needs were met, the staff was very friendly and did an outstanding job of making us feel at home. The entire property was absolutely beautiful, the bedrooms were lovely and everyone fell in love with the pool. As for the wedding, I don't even know where to begin. Everything was perfect. It had everything I hoped for and a lot more. The flowers were absolutely beautiful, the cake was fantastic and the food was outstanding. The entire set up was simply elegant, I could not have asked for anything more. This was definitely a dream come true. I want to thank you and your staff for the wonderful treatment you showed to me and my guests and for the amazing job you did.'
My wife and I built Mais Oui (pronounced 'May Wee') in 1999 and opened officially in 2000. We welcomed our first guests before the lawn had even successfully grown because we were eager to share the hospitality of the Jamaican culture and have everyone visit us to experience the welcomed relaxation and understated elegance of Mais Oui!
Darrell and Sherry purchased this villa in 2000
We're not on the water, but are instead 'ocean view' because the Jamaican experience isn't only about the beach and 'reggae'. It's also about the food and the people which also includes their culture and history. There's no need to pay a beachfront premium to enjoy these key elements of the island!
Our uniqueness stems from our consistency to high quality of service and our focus on the relaxation and well-being of our guests. Mais Oui remains committed to our goal to present an honest and genuine Jamaican experience for our guests. We are not about cutting corners or flashy beachfront photos just to entice travelers and maximize profits. We like to offer as many amenities as we can such that when our guests decide to venture off-site they do so because of a desire, rather than a need. Mais Oui is located on the western cusp of the Rio Bueno Bay (named by Christopher Columbus himself). This is reportedly the freshwater landing site in his most famed journey across the Atlantic to the Americas! Jamaica is an island filled with beauty and history. It's people are vibrant and colorful. Come and experience the REAL Jamaica at Mais Oui!
Mais Oui staff took wonderful care of all 18 of our party. (11 adults and 7 children) The house and gardens were immaculate. The staff was beyond beyond. We left meal planning to the chef and he surpassed all our expectations.We highly recommend Mais Oui for any vacation or event. We look forward to returning at some time in the future.
Why Discovery Bay?
- Under an hour's drive from airport ... compared to 1.5hrs drive for people staying in Ocho Rios or Negril.
- Convenient base from which to see the island ... Within an hour from leaving Montego Bay, you will arrive at Mais Oui. Drive another 30-35 minutes and you are in Ocho Rios. This central location makes sightseeing choices more accessible and enjoyable.
- Close to a host of other activities ... 30 attractions are within a 30 minute drive of the villa ... additional snorkeling and scuba diving sites, golf courses, horseback riding stables, tennis courts, water-sports, shopping, night-life, historic sites, and almost anything else your heart desires!
Other Activities: museum, jet skiing, water sports, badminton

Jim, YES - I've actually thought about doing this for over 15 YEARS - and done research frome time to time. BUT, I cannot hear advice like yours often enough, if only to "take my temperature" - it's a HUGE, life-altering decision, especially in the cold Boston winter! Throw in the fact that I'm a newbie, and... But, I have made the decision and am making preparations already.
I've spent a LOT of time on this and other forums, getting info on condensation, types of heaters, insulation (even for the mast in the cockpit), etc. etc. etc. It is ENDLESS, but... I spent a month in a tent, climbing in Nepal - the "head" was behind a boulder! lol... I endured COLD nights, the dreaded
trekker trots
, and mild altitude sickness - so I have that experience to kinda give me an idea about discomfort - even though it WAS different. I'll have access to a marina's showers/facilities and will join a gym within walking distance. I'll also be walking distance from a really awesome city, with laundry, restaurants, etc. I may even be able to swing walking distance to a new job I'm looking at.
So, I go into this with my eyes at least half open. Will there be surprises over and above what "normal life" throws at me? I'd be surprised if that didn't happen. But, I've done my lists over the years, and the benefits FAR outweigh whatever negatives I'll face.
I will have access to storage, but will no longer have my own home. My friend has lived on his boat for 20 years, and is a wealth of information - and has lived in the Bahamas, Florida, Boston - and is heading to Gibraltar next month!
Hey, thanks for the info and advice - this forum and its members are AWESOME!

After some three decades of being on the Internet in various projects and pursuits, it isn't hard to find me with a search engine, but it isn't easy to find out what I've been actually DOING! Some 2012-2013 articles by the UTSanDiego which come up in a search have been derogatory and, ultimately, inaccurate. (although I am perversely proud of joining the list of really accomplished folk who have been targeted by this alleged newspaper) Currently pending litigation had and will continue to clear most of that up (in the meantime, cancel your UT subscription if you happen to still have one). In the meantime, here are some useful and current links that show some of the things that I'm currently doing and have done in the recent past:
www.sandiegocan.org - where I'm still advocating on behalf of and with San Diego consumers. Contains over 150 recent articles about consumer issues and advice.
www.50centstories.com – where will soon be read my latest e-books: "Whale of a Dragon's Tale" and "Fantastic Journals". Some short stories from these two books can be found here.
www.wattpad.com - my website dedicated to first-person narrative short stories that I've written this year.
www.echamps.org - chronicles my activities in the Environmental Champions' Legacy Fund private foundation for preservation of sensitive habitat.
Rejection of SDG&E anti-solar charge – regulators accept my arguments about SDG&E's proposed network usage fee.
Public Utility Fortnightly interview – a 2007 interview about the future of the electric utility business
USD Magazine interview - a 2005 in-depth article about me.
San Diego Union Tribune article – back in 2005 when the Union Tribune was still a journalistic enterprise and not the UTSanDiego 'National Enquirer', energy reporter Craig Rose profiled me.

After yesterday's friendly against the Primavera, Juventus commence their build-up to Saturday evening's Trofeo TIM triangular tournament
Following yesterday's workout against the Primavera in Villar Perosa, Massimiliano Allegri's men returned to Juventus Center this morning to build up to the next item on their agenda – Saturday's Trofeo TIM in Reggio Emilia.
The traditional pre-season triangular tournament sees the Bianconeri lock horns with Milan and Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium, two tests which will no doubt provide a useful measure of their progress ahead of next weekend's Serie A opener against Chievo in Verona.
An athletic focus saw in the first of two Thursday sessions, with ball work expected to return to the fore when the squad regroup on the training ground later this afternoon.

Hi ladies,
Just wonder if you've had this problem like me. It's started with what looked like yeast inf. so I was prescibed the vaginal cream for it. A few days later after treatment, I had other symptoms like burning at the clitoris when urinate. Dr. did the test- it's BV. I had to take antibiotics for 7 days. Then a few days later after taking the med, the minor itching comes back with no foul odor. Now it's minor yeast inf. Basiccally, they just go back and forth. I just don't feel comfortable with using too much med during pregnancy. Please share your experience/help if this has happened to you. BTW, Im now 33 wks, & this started when I was about 27 wks. Thanks so much.

On Saturday, Eliezer Yudkowsky, Research Fellow at the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence (SIAI), talked to John Horgan, science writer and author of works like Rational Mysticism and a recent piece in the IEEE Spectrum critical of near-term AI. The video discussion took place on Bloggingheads.tv, a video site co-founded by Robert Wright, author of Nonzero and The Moral Animal.
Some of the interview is funny and light-hearted. But overall, I thought this one had major problems. They talk past each other, and invest insufficient effort in directly addressing each other's concerns.
Horgan thinks that those working towards human-equivalent AI are loonies and essentially religious, and Yudkowsky goes off on tangents and rationality sermons far more frequently than is appropriate. On the SIAI blog entry regarding the interview, Horgan says, in reference to the possibility of talking with other people from the organization, "I'm sure we can have a more coherent, constructive conversation than the one between me and Eliezer". Translation: the interview was incoherent and unconstructive.
Summary of first twenty minutes:
0:00 – 1:00 Introduction
1:00 – 3:00 Eliezer's childhood
4:00 – 6:00 How was he exposed to the Singularity idea?
6:00 – 7:00 Is the Singularity something that will happen or should happen?
7:00 – 9:00 Eliezer's life history in the teenage years and early 20s
9:00 – 11:00 What did Eliezer teach himself to become an AI researcher?
11:00 – 15:00 How was SIAI founded?
15:00 – 18:00 Which vision of the Singularity is SIAI associated with?
18:00 – 20:00 Yudkowsky discusses Kurzweil and his conception of the Singularity.
The trainwreck begins with the way Eliezer phrases his childhood experience when asked. When asked if he had an interest in science and philosophy, he says "I was a bit too bright as a kid. Fairly well-known syndrome. Most of my intelligent conversations were with books because the adults weren't interested in talking to me and the kids couldn't keep up." At this point, the empathy with 95% of the audience is immediately severed. Even though I went through a similar experience, and many intelligent people have, it's memetic suicide to call attention to it, because it sounds like bragging.
Maybe Eliezer underestimates the sensitivity of human culture to bragging. The reason why bragging is so despised is that it's often highly correlated to overconfidence, disregard for others, and other negative personality characteristics. Now, I don't mean to say that Eliezer is overconfident or has a disregard for others. But he should be smart enough to realize that most people are totally insecure and hate to hear other people say anything that remotely sounds like bragging. In a typical conversation, you're maybe allowed to brag about one thing for 3-5 seconds, and that's it. Otherwise it sets off alarm bells that say the other person is a jerk, whether they really are or not. That is social reality.
In response to Horgan's question about his childhood interest in science, Eliezer also says, "Interest in science somehow doesn't sound extreme enough". This is funny and I can identify as well! More light-hearted and interesting stuff about Eliezer's childhood follows this for a few minutes.
Then, Eliezer explains the concept of a Vingean Singularity. Horgan doesn't seem to get it. When confronted with the idea and asked to describe how he reacted to it, Eliezer says "it just seemed so obviously correct". This is another example of Eliezer being excessively honest in his response instead of formulating a response in a way that would maintain empathy with his interviewer and the audience, and establish stepping stones for future understanding. You thought it was obviously correct right away — great! These guys don't, and they just feel alienated when you tell them that you suddenly saw it as so obviously correct. It reinforces the "elitist egghead" stereotype that we have every reason to avoid.
Next, when asked if he thinks the singularity is inevitable, Eliezer says how he initially ignored the possibility of x-risk getting in the way, then eventually started taking it into account. Still, this makes it look like he consider the singularity entirely inevitable if humanity doesn't wipe itself out, and the casual matter-of-fact way he says it continues widen the communication gap between him and Horgan, who is obviously not so sure.
Later, Horgan struggles to pronounce "singularitarian". Sing-ul-ar-it-ar-ian. If you can say them one at a time, you can say them all at once! I realize the word is difficult, and empathize with Horgan. I prefer the term "intelligence enhancement advocate" myself. I sometimes worry that critics of intelligence enhancement advocacy like to latch on to the oddness of the word "singularitarian" and use it as a tool to show how those enthusiastic about the near-term future of AI are dyed-in-the-wool batshit crazy. I don't think that's what Horgan is doing here, but I can only imagine he would be tempted.
Next, Eliezer says the human brain has a messed up architecture. This is true ("haphazard" or "suboptimal" (which he uses later) are better terms, less value-laden), but the matter-of-fact way he presents it is extremely distracting, unsubtle, and jarring to the average listener. It damages his credibility. He talks as if you study enough cognitive science, it immediately becomes clear that the brain is "messed up", but guess what — there are cognitive scientists out there who know plenty about the brain and still treat it as an act of God, an elegant machine that was purposefully designed.
For info on how the human brain has major problems, see Kluge: the Haphazard Construction of the Human Mind by Gary Marcus. Eliezer could do himself a huge favor if he pointed to well-established sources in making his more controversial-sounding claims. Otherwise, the audience gets suspicious that he is a crackpot with wild ideas. Now, it so happens that the notion that the human mind has a haphazard construction is gaining wide currency among cognitive scientists, but your typical Internet intellectual may not know this. In fact, they might get pissed off if you present it in a totally non-subtle way, as Eliezer does in every interview. In every interview, the strength of the way he puts that is very distracting, both to the interviewer and the audience.
For an example of how the human brain is suboptimal, Eliezer points to the fact that neurons are way slower than transistors. But wait — this is a bad example, because many people are doubtful that minds can be made out of silicon, even in principle. Far better examples come from the heuristics and biases literature, which immune systematic flaws in human reasoning without invoking arguments over the plausibility of arranging transistors into minds. I thought that was what he would use to give examples, and was disappointed he used the controversial transistor reference.
Next, he talks about how SIAI was founded and the progression of his attitude towards the problem of AGI. This is interesting stuff if you haven't heard it all before.
Horgan plugs the IEEE special issue on the Singularity that I've been responding to. He says some of the articles are very positive, and others, like his own, are critical. He says he likes the "who's who in the singularity" chart. As far as I can tell, the vast majority of articles are negative. An article about how some cognitive scientist is creating a model of the brain, written by an IEET intern, is not a "positive article". This is fluff, used because they either couldn't find or didn't want to include a genuinely pro-Singularity article. Next time, invite me to contribute.
Next question: which vision of the Singularity is SIAI associated with? Good answers by Yudkowsky. The paper he's thinking of is "Speculations Concerning the First Ultraintelligent Machine". Apparently it isn't online. I thought I had a copy and uploaded it somewhere to this domain, but can't find it. Oh well.
Horgan brings up how Kurzweil links together the "singularity" with immortality. Yudkowsky responds well again. Kurzweil over-relies on Moore's law graphs. Computational improvement doesn't even speed up when the smarter-than-human intelligence barrier is broken, he sees a million times human computing power as equivalent to a million times human intelligence.
Horgan points out that Kurzweil is vague about how a Singularity transition would happen in his vision of it. Yudkowsky uses his usual talking points around emphasizing intelligence (cognitive skills, for those of you that equate intelligence with book smarts) as a critical quantity in the coming transition.
Later on, Horgan expresses skepticism about AI based on claims of the past. He is answered with more tangents on rationality that don't address his central concerns in a straightforward way. Horgan's general argument is this: they promised us AI in the 60s, they didn't give it to us, therefore, it won't happen in the foreseeable future.
I'm not going to summarize the rest point-by-point, as it was frustrating enough watching it the first time. In any case, if you have an hour to spend, check out the video.

Baxter already giving Trojans a rush
Baxter made an early commitment to Trojans coach Pete Carroll, but before the official prep signing day in February, Carroll left to take charge of the Seattle Seahawks. Kiffin, a former assistant at USC, bolted the head coaching position at Tennessee after one season, prompting one irate Vols fan to insist a Knoxville sewage treatment plant bear his name.
Now Baxter didn't know Lane Kiffin from Lois Lane, so he developed second thoughts. Naturally. Carroll had become a legend.
"Even then, my top three still were USC, Florida and Oregon," Baxter says. "I looked at Florida really hard.
"But USC was my dream school. I talked with Coach Kiffin to see what he was all about, and everything sounded good to me. And I'm not far away from home. That's another thing."
Says Kiffin: "I knew he was wavering, but he came up here with his family and recommitted."
Baxter will be one of five tailbacks competing for playing time at USC, but what could set him apart is his experience at quarterback. When Carroll recruited him, he told Baxter he could be a wildcat quarterback in certain situations. Kiffin has similar thoughts.
"The wildcat will come into play," Baxter says, "but we'll probably get into that a bit later. I'm getting used to running back now. I haven't played running back since Pop Warner."
There was talk of Baxter being a receiver at USC, and there will be times he will line up wide. If you've seen any of his practice highlights, you know he can run routes, get open and catch. But this is a kid who is used to having the ball in his hands. A lot.
"It would be easier to just give him the ball at tailback," Kiffin says.
For now, Baxter is just a college freshman enjoying life, so happy he enrolled early.
"It's so important that I enrolled early," says Baxter, who plans to return to Mission Bay and graduate with his class. "Not just football, but getting used to college life. It's crazy. It's cool, but crazy."
Two of USC's seven Heisman winners are from San Diego. No reason Dillon Baxter can't make it three.

The "one-eyed fat man" hired by a 14-year-old girl to hunt down her father's killer, was a role made famous by John Wayne in 1969's True Grit, adapted from the novel by Charles Portis. Now, over 30 years later, Joel and Ethan Coen have taken it upon themselves to remake the classic, from a script written by them. They prefer to call it a (re-)adaptation of the novel, rather than a remake of the film.
The Coens' True Grit is a Western in every sense of the word — not really a surprise, as they are known for their faithfulness to the genres they take on. From the grizzled old-timers hanging about dusty streets to the pretty impenetrable — be warned — slang of the time, the 19th-century American frontier made famous by the likes of Wayne is perfectly captured.
And what of the Coens' trademark sense of irony? You realise as you watch the film that it's completely inbuilt into the larger-than-life characters and plot; perhaps that's why True Grit fits like a glove on the Coens' directorial hands. Even then, True Grit, the 2010 version, might have felt like one of those redundant Hollywood exercises — i.e., yet another remake of something that was pretty darn good in the first place — were it not for the breathtaking performance at its centre.
Young Hailee Steinfeld's film debut as the bloodthirsty but morally correct, fearless but extremely uptight 14-year-old Mattie Ross is a real treat to watch. Mattie travels from her Yell County home to Fort Smith, Arkansas with the principle aim of vengeance — and the settlement of some monetary transactions on the side. Her father has been killed by Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin), who has since vanished into Indian country; Mattie wants to hire a United States Marshall of "true grit" to track him down.
Very little discourages her from her goal — she takes it all in her stride, whether viewing brutal public hangings or tracking her deputy US Marshall of choice, Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges in another Oscar-nominated role) to a lavatory. You have to laugh at the blackly comic scenarios she — unintentionally — generates. You, of course, never laugh at her; it would take a person of far greater steel than you or I to dare make fun of the ferocious and focussed ball of energy that is Mattie.
She wins the reluctant admiration of Cogburn who takes on her case for a fee but refuses to let Mattie join him on the chase. Unsurprisingly, Mattie has her way. Together they leave civilisation behind and go deeper into the wild lands — beautifully filmed by Roger Deakins — that harbour Chaney and other ruffians. A part-time friend/foe on their journey, who also wants to capture Chaney, is the Texas Ranger LaBoeuf — Matt Damon displaying formidable moustaches and a surprisingly light touch in playing his flamboyant character.
But essentially this is Mattie's story. Though there's a lot of cussing, fighting, shooting and killing by all the men around her, you are never in any doubt as to whom the title of the movie really describes.
True Grit
Genre: Western
Director: Joel and Ethan Coen
Cast: Hailee Steinfeld, Jeff Bridges, Josh Brolin, Matt Damon
Storyline: A sturdy 14-year-old hires a deputy US Marshall to find her father's killer.
Bottomline: Straight-shooting Western served up with a twist of Coen irony
Keywords: True Grit, remake, Western movies, film review

As if last Tuesday's album release wasn't enough, this weekend has been full of dope surprises for J. Cole fans. In addition to getting cosigned by one of his musical idols on Made Nas Proud, the Roc Nation standard-bearer has hooked up with fellow hip-hop heartthrob Drake for a new freestyle that'll have the ladies, "screamin' like Jodeci back." B!nk sets a luxurious mood behind the boards, layering scintillating samples over a languid rhythm section as Drizzy chronicles his recent erotic adventures, and Cole exults in the success of his freshly-minted sophomore set. Born Sinner is, of course, available now in stores and online. Fans should keep their browsers locked for the latest on Drake's Nothing Was the Same LP, scheduled for release September 17.

Finding footsteps past or just a good excuse to burn gasoline
A few months ago I posed a question about some possible war games that were held just before the US became involved in WWII. I had heard from my grandfather that he was in eastern Oregon at one point early in his Army career before heading to England to go to the beach, so to speak. I thought it was more likely that it was in Washington, since he was at Ft. Lewis for some time but I wanted to know more. I was pointed toward a Wikipedia entry. Say what you want about Wiki, it was a great resource as I became more interested in what went on, and the desire to visit some of these places. I also had some places that I wanted to visit that I somehow had passed by before.
I planned to do the trip alone, but as I discussed it at a Thursday meetup I found an interested party. Flyosh had some days off from work and was thinking about a ride so he went along. Always better to have company!
First things first. On the way out I wanted to ride McKenzie Pass, OR-242. Somehow I have never done it before. This is a perfect twisting snake of a road through the ferns and firs. At the top is a large lava field.
In reading the Wikipedia article, I found that the only surviving structure from the war games in 1943 was the officers mess hall at Camp Abbott, which is now the Great Hall at Sunriver resort. I asked Grandpa about it and he said he was never at Camp Abbott, but since its the only remaining structure from that time I wanted to visit. Seems pretty opulent for military.
The first guests were arriving for a wedding and the motorcycle heathens got some funny looks.
Dont for a second think that I didnt want to roost the lawn on the way out.
We then headed south and east toward Fort Rock. I had ridden past Fort Rock and looked at it from a distance a handful of times but I wanted to get a closer look.
Theres also an old town site right next to the current town.
We camped down 15 miles of gravel road on BLM land just outside town.
It got dark
And then it got cold. Which was fun because we couldnt have a fire.
But in the morning it warmed up quickly and we were on our way.

On the way back to town was a geological site that was worth the visit. It is imaginatively called Crack in the Ground.
Josh is down there somewhere to give some perspective. Its deep, and very long.
We then headed to town for some breakfast. In a small town like this a couple of heathen motorcyclists creates quite a stir. The lone old prospector-looking man sitting on the patio of the restaurant commented, I hope you guys have your earmuffs. Later someone inside asked where we were headed. When I told him wed be doing the Steens Loop he said thats where he grew up. His parents were the last people to live in the Riddle Brothers ranch on the south loop road and that was where he grew up. The lady at the table also told me that the aspens were starting to change up there. Cool! But that was for the next day.
Today we were headed for Wagontire. In my short conversation with Grandpa about his time here he said the only thing he remembered was a town called Wagontire. In the Wiki article it talks about the town being the last battle site of the maneuvers, so I can guess that thats the reason why its the only thing he remembers - because it was the last place he was. Wagontire never grew much, and was always a simple gas stop with nothing more. Its only been a couple of years since it completely closed down and theres no one left. There are a couple of RVs on the site so I guess someone lives there, but basically its a ghost town.
There is an airstrip across the street. It is dirt, but now is completely overgrown with grass and sagebrush. Apparently there was once a flight chartered for France that had to make an emergency landing so they started calling it Wagontire International Airport. Not long ago, planes would land here and taxi across US-395 to fill up at the gas station.
We left and headed toward Hart Mountain. I have been here a couple of times now, the last time was just this past spring. I love the views on the way up and it is a National Wildlife Refuge, specifically antelope refuge. On the way to Poker Jim Ridge we passed by Flagstaff Lake. The ducks didnt like me riding past them.
I have seen antelope there all three times Ive been. This time I also saw a couple of coyotes off on the prairie.
Lots of dusty roads.
We headed out the east side of the refuge down 40 miles of gravel to OR-205. When we got to the pavement it was decision time. We were less than 10 miles from Frenchglen but I knew that the gas station is sometimes open, sometimes not. If they are open sometimes they dont have gas. We were planning on doing the entire Steens loop and if we didnt get gas we would probably make it back to Frenchglen but maybe not to the Narrows or Burns. We decided to go with the sure thing and head down to Fields for gas. We then turned right around and came back north to the Steens loop.
Out here, better safe than sorry. Out here, gas is scarce, towns are scarce, people are scarce. On these highways you give the motorcycle wave to other passing cars because you havent seen another one for 45 minutes. Its that vast, and thats exactly why I love it out here.
We pulled into the South Steens campground with plenty of daylight to spare and scavenged for some campfire wood. The place was almost full on a Sunday night with hunters, but they went to bed early and were all gone early in the morning.

Today, the Steens loop! I have wanted to do this for years, but the handful of times Ive been here it was still early in the summer. The road is typically not open until early July because of the snow pack, this year was even later. I was stoked to finally be riding it, and I cant wait to do it again.
Lots of big gorges to look down into.
Theyre doing some work on the road and there was a constant convoy of trucks moving earth this way and that, but it was never too much of a big deal.
Rocky section being worked on.
Josh heads up to the summit.
Still water in the Alvord.
During our view-intense pee break my bike was blown over by the wind. No pics. But it did get the 3 vulnerable items, a broken break lever (just the tip), a broken hand guard and a broken turn signal. Duct tape to the rescue!
On the way back down we finally got to see the aspens. Note to self: next trip, stay in the North Steens campground. Beauty!
The Loop finishes in Frenchglen so we stopped for lunch at the Hotel. We mapped out our route and figured out what time we would be home if we bombed it from here. Josh had to work the next morning but I was thinking about staying out one more night. My decision was made when the weather turned from 75 and sunny in Burns to 55 and blustery 60 miles west. I might as well tough it out in the weather and get home. The last 3 hours was in solid rain all the way from Bend.
There was one more stop though. One of the battle sites mentioned in the Wiki article is Brothers. This is also just another wide spot in the road, but it now has a rest stop and across the street is a DOT yard with plenty of cinder ready to spread on the roads in the upcoming winter.
I wanted to spend more time here but as I said, the weather was turning bad and I wanted to get home. There wasnt much there to see anyway. So there you have it. A very nice little 3 day weekend in Oregon in October. It doesnt get much better.

Enjoyed your trip
Easy-Z , that was a nice trip. I've been to several of the places, but you strung them all together, making for a great ride. Nice to see the antelope too.
Glad you had the duct tape along.

Nice report. You have the 'get some foreground to make it more interesting' photo eye down. Lovely images!
I trucked the li'l KLX down that way a few weeks back and base camped at Fields. Ticked off a bucket list entry with a nekkid-except-for-boots dusk ride on the playa (no pics ), lolled for hours in the springs and generally farted around the foothills. The locals were great - time to talk and happy to see another soul. The icing on the cake was meeting remarksman and crazybrit after they rolled into Fields late one night to bivouac off the TAT .

Dammit Eazy-Z,....,
Now I feel gotta go that way again.
I passed by the 395 to Wagontire, I passed by the sign to Crack in the Ground and Hole in the Ground.
Now I gotta go see them. And the other 50 things I missed.
I saw plenty of cool stuff for THAT trip, and got to ride at least the North side up to the Steens.
Wow. Steens gorges are awesome. Your pic's do some justice to them, that is hard to capture.
There is something,.... romantic? about FrenchGlen, It would be a great area to retire, in another life.
But I only saw one lousy antelope's ass as it was running away on Hart Mtn.
BTW. You shoulda roosted some grass onto the grill of that BMW SUV.
I wouldn't have done it either, but I would have enjoyed it, if you had.
Yesterday, I had to set up an upscale bar in downtown Hood River for a slide show presentation.
They were showing pictures of their trip to some exotic place, some "impressive" place they went.
They stayed in nice hotels and spent lots of money. They took an Eco-Tour and saved the world.
They took lots of pictures to prove to their friends that they could afford to do all that.
Lots of Audis, Subaru Wagons, Prius's, and Volkswagon Eurovans were outside.
Lots of "Image" of "Outdoorsy".
Now, if I seem a bit jealous about what they could afford to do, it may be true.
But,...,... I'd be willing to bet that few of these people have ever seen any of the things in your RR.
Or the beautiful Punchbowl Falls, just 15 minutes outside of Hood River.
Or Flag Point Lookout, and the 15-mile Creek Canyon just below it, just 1 hour from where they live.
These things are not on the way to the airport to go and see somewhere else.
I really just wanna go to all the places I see in other NWers ADV RRs. Thanks for sharing yours.

Thanks for sharing the narrative and pix. We were down there in 2010 and rode the length of 205 with a stop at Fields. You're spot on about how infrequent other traffic is on the roads. We took the White Horse Ranch Road over to US95 and that was 50 plus miles of gravel. I would have loved to have made the Steens loop on my d/s bike. It's on my list.

The team has been in Queenstown for a week, training during
the northern hemisphere winter, and yesterday members
described how they enjoyed New Zealand's range and
availability of ginger beer, meat pies and crumpets.
The team arrived in Queenstown last Friday and is staying in
Olympian Tim Jitloff said of arriving in the country: "The
first thing I go for is a ginger beer and a meat pie."
Olympic gold medallist, World Champion and three-time World
Cup giant slalom champion Ted Ligety said conditions were
favourable at Coronet Peak and at this stage the team would
continue training until August 24.
"It's been really good for us so far. We're getting stuff
The focus was on the fundamentals of giant slalom and slalom
to become used to new skis being "straighter and longer".
Ligety said because of the skiing World Cup programme, their
main training fields were in New Zealand, Chile and Europe.
"After the 24th, we go home and everyone has three weeks to
continue physical training, then we fly to South America for
ski training, then another couple of weeks after Chile
there's more physical training, then Europe for the World Cup
The programme begins in Austria, in October.
The US ski team comprises Ted Ligety, Olympic gold medallist,
world champion and three-time World Cup giant slalom
champion; Nolan Kasper, Olympian and World Cup podium
finisher; Will Brandenburg, Olympian; Tim Jitloff, Olympian,
Tommy Ford, Olympian; and Ryan Cochran-Siegle, junior world

View Wine Details
I was first introduced to Weinert's wines just before Christmas last year by my colleagues in Member Services and since then I've always tried to make sure I've got at least one of their wines at home at any given time! The Carrascal 2009 represents huge value in my opinion – it has such a generous and mouth-filling flavour not unlike a mature claret and it is only £7.95 a bottle.
It is a big meaty wine, offering a complex dark-berry fruit palate wrapped in oaky overtones but also velvety smooth at the same time, which would partner perfectly with grilled meats on the BBQ this summer. And if the Great British weather does happen to turn wet, give this wine a proper Argentine food match and serve with a simple pan-seared rump steak.

Using WP 2.9.2 -- not in the popdown menu.
The Preview button on my lifehack blog stopped working when creating posts. Strangely, when I "save as draft," the yellow shaded area at the top brings up a link that says "preview post." If I click that link, the preview window pops up in a new tab as usual.
I tried deactivating every plugin and changing the theme to default. No change in the problem.
I have blog setup blog that has an almost identical setup, but the preview mode works fine.
In addition to that problem, the first blog also won't show tables created with wp-tables reloaded, but the other will. Don't know if that's related.
Any ideas?

"Power Wings Skim Over the Frozen Pond" recently was awarded a Best of Show with a score of 90. It was taken in January 2015 in Cape May, New Jersey. This distance was a good 200 feet and the temperature as around 30 degrees. I used a Canon 500 mm lens with an 1.4x extender. A tripod and gimbal head was used to follow along as the swan cruised across the pond.

Thx for a great theme!
I have followed the steps in the post "My non-standard special symbols are not appearing in the headings!" and I have created a file called ColaborateLight_400.font.js
The question is where do I install this file to make it work?
Please overwrite the existing .js file. You may need to force-refresh your browser if the old file is stuck in your cache the first time.
I'm interested this wordpress theme.
Is there any Contact us page in the theme?
like http://www.curtziegler.com/sitedemo/luxury/html/contact-horizontal.html (this is yours as well.)
For the WordPress version, you can use a free plugin such as Contact Form 7 on any page/post to add a contact form. Thanks!
Hi Cudazi, I was adding some content in header, footer area and pages( heading tag),post heading in Cyrillic font , to make some of the font bigger (a heading), but for some reason it doesnt work. Anything in the heading tag, disapears for some reason. Can you tell me why this would happen, and how I can fix it?Thanks for your time and help.
Please give this a try: http://themeforest.net/item/luxury-wordpress-template/83220/faqs/1258 – Thanks!
Hi Cudazi. Do not speak english very good. Sorry. I would like to know if this site has a video support in blog and portfolio and multiple language support?? Thanks!
The resizing features for what's shown in the demo only applies to video. You can create a page of videos but not automatically resized like the photo portfolio.
Hi, we are using the theme and I'm wondering if I can delete the "fade" fx in the slider so it only shows the pictures and changes them without fading?
Hello! All the slider options would be found in js/general.js leave the trailing comma alone but look at this setting in the slider area:
fx: 'fade',
fx: 'none',
Hi Curt,
I updated my Wordpress to 3.9.1 which seems to have caused a couple problems with Luxury 1.5. Notably the home screen slider doesn't advance, or allow me to click through beyond the first image in Chrome. Oddly, this seems ok in IE.
I downloaded the latest version of Luxury theme, but I didn't see any instructions on how to upgrade from 1.5. Any ideas on the slider and/or tips on the upgrade?
Erik Utter
Hey Erik, please overwrite the theme folder via FTP or de-activate/delete the theme and upload/activate the new version. Thank you!
HI Cudazi
I just bought the this theme but it won't install from the zip it says:
Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-83220-luxury-wordpress-template.zip Unpacking the package… Installing the theme… The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet. Theme install failed.
Website I'm hosting on is 4.1
Any Suggestions, thanks
Please be sure to only upload the theme, not the entire download package.http://www.cudazi.com/2011/wordpress-broken-theme-stylesheet-issue/
hi i just buyed the theme and i wonder if u can give the xml whith the content of the demo version, will be so much easyer for me
Drop me a message via my profile page please, thank you!
the theme looks very good!
I've read in the comments that videos can be embedded in any page/post but not in the main slider. Should i want to display a video home page slider, is the theme compatible with external video plugins such as revolution slider or similar? Can you suggest any?
Thanks a lot! Luca
Hi Luca! Sorry for the delay, looks like my reply didn't go out last night. You're welcome to use the page template: Home – No Slider and then place a slider/plugin you wish into that sidebar/widget area.
Hi there, I have purchased this theme a while ago bearing in mind that it was responsive… I just did the test with Google webmaster tool and it isn"t which will lead in short term to a lower ranking. How can we arrange that ? Do you have an update coming ? Can you make it responsive ? Thanks for informing me. Roeland Above2nd
Hello, I'm sorry but the item isn't advertised as responsive. It will load up on mobile devices, but the content doesn't adjust as some responsive sites may. At this time, I'm keeping the site up and running with the latest versions, but no major changes planned at this time.

Listed below are the terms for my services as a model; please take time to read them before contacting me.
CHAPERONE: My chaperone is there for my safety and must be allowed at the shoot or the shoot will not take place. This is non negotiable.
COMPENSATION: Although I sincerely understand the many reasons for tfp/cd arrangements, I simply do not shoot on a trade basis unless the subject matter strikes me as a concept I would like to do. I DO NOT do topless or artistic nude work on a TF basis. There is no need asking.
I do not work on a commission basis.
SHOOT CONFIRMATIONS: I maintain a precise calendar and strictly adhere to it. I need confirmation of the shoot in written form through e-mail or text. You will not be placed on my calendar until I receive a written confirmation of the shoot date and time. Please note that due to my school schedule, I am only available for shots weekends and week nights. Travel outside of the Asheville area is not an option during the week.
CANCELLATIONS: I require the photographers residential or business address before the shoot. I charge 1/2 half of my base hourly rate for cancellations within 24 hours of the shoot. I receive a substantial number of shoot requests, and my schedule can fill up quickly for the times I am available.
EARLY & LATE: I am happy to accommodate for setup time but need to be informed of this beforehand. I may have scheduled multiple shoots on the same day so need to clearly know the schedule beforehand.
MODEL RELEASES: I require a copy of all model releases I sign. I have my own model release if you do not have one.
ADULT CONTENT: I do not shoot any type of explicit or sexual content, nor do I do adult themes such as bondage etc. I do not do open spread shots that are not covered. Should you capture that accidental image that crosses my boundaries I reserve the right to add an amendment to model releases to ensure no such image makes it to public display.
AMATEURS: I work with professionals and amateurs alike. I am happy to help you set your lights, make wardrobe decisions, or allow you to simply focus on getting comfortable shooting models. I love to model and am willing to help non professionals if they respect my personal boundaries, be professional in conduct, and are willing to pay for my time. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing what great images we can create.
TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS: No tattoos, I have a belly piercing that can be removed for shoots. My body is all natural, no plastic or implants.
The best way to contact me is via a PM through Model Mayhem (preferred)
I DO NOT respond to tags for shoots.
I would list everyone that I have worked with but there are too many. I will be more than willing to give references if requested!
