The Windows Boot manager timeout is 0 so it boots straight to ubuntu and sometimes even skips grub but if I press the up key i think it is then grub shows. However Windows does not show up on it. There are three options. Ubuntu 11.10, Ubuntu Recovery, and Ubuntu 11.10 (generic mode)? I think anyways. When I type sudo update-grub in terminal I get: Quote: Generating grub.cfg ...

Re: Florida to Bahamas in May
You're in the realm of reality now. Get a solar panel and a tiller pilot. Spaghetti, zatarains , oatmeal.
Fishing gear- bring that too. Lots of mahi to eat. And snapper grouper lobster conch. Weather weather weather. Also keep an eye on the weather.
Bring sunscreen. It's 20-40 bucks a tube down that way. Keep at least one eye on Teh weather. Now that there aren't a million people comin along its starting to sound fun. You will feel like a badass when you drop the hook and are getting ready to clear in. Or you'll feel like you'll never be able to get back by yourself.
I've sailed back a couple times with friends who "couldn't" - read that wouldn't- sail back alone.
A month or so seems like a long time in a 20 footer. I stick by the 2 week trip with another 2 2 weeks buffer for weather- with a couple few big passages and some gunkholing.
The quality of your photography and yarnspinning will have great effect in the outcome o future sailing ventures- so far as enlistin the you guns as crew is concerns. The wife may not come around. Might need a big flat boat like a cat to get her on board. Ugh.

Rules and Disclaimers
Spell of the Day threads were created to give a place of discussion for the featured skill for the day. In this threads people may discuss a skill's potential and if applicable, why it needs change. To avoid thread derailment please comply with the forum rules as well as the following: People may not reply to the thread to discuss a person (only the person's opinion). People should not act almighty by stating that their opinion is fact; opinion is opinion debate about it. And finally the thread starter (me in this case) is not any different from the repliers, my assessments are opinions and are not supposed to be 'perfectly correct' (its an opinion, if you find it wrong then prove it wrong but dont get on my nerves for being wrong because while I am not easy to convince, it is possible). I will also ask everyone else to ignore anyone who do not abide by these thread rules and simply reply showing a quotation of which thread rule was broken.
-I claim these opinions as mine and claim that they are made with good reasons. I play every mode in this game and assess a skill through what I know from experience. I cannot disclose what guild I play for to play organized PVP because I do not have their permissions.
I split these because it gets crowded in a thread with all of them in one. So here is part 2 of the Hard Res Special.
Unyielding Aura 5e 3c 15r 1<
Elite Enchantment Spell. Bring target dead party member back to life at full Health and full Energy. If you stop maintaining this enchantment, or if this enchantment is removed, that party member dies and leaves an exploited corpse. Deaths while enchanted with Unyielding Aura do not incur a death penalty. (50% failure chance with Divine Favor 4 or less)
-I dont see this ever becoming a good enough res for a Me/Mo because of its divine favor requirement added to the fact that this skill is elite and rules out Signet of Illusions. Even then if you can SoI this....why?
Light of Dwayna 25e 4c 20r
Spell. Resurrect all dead party members in the area. They are returned to life with 25% Health and zero Energy.
-It helps that it is in the no attribute line but your party dying in the same spot is something that is conditional. This spell has too many downsides to be able to be even close to be in par with the other res spells. Low HP return, high cost, and long recharge outweigh the good things about this spell.
Restoration 10e 5c 45r
Binding Ritual. Create a level 1...8 Spirit. When this Spirit dies, all Party members in the area are resurrected with 5...41% Health and zero Energy. This Spirit dies after 30 seconds.
-Completely unaffected by Fast Casting simply means its not really compatible with mesmer primaries. This spell is pretty lackluster as well. The HP return it gives is meiocre at best and it doesnt even have an EN return. This requires you to pre-cast it before someone dies for it to be useful. Even if you are a ritualist you have better options. Avoid this.
Flesh of my Flesh 5e 4c 0r
Spell. Lose half your Health. Resurrect target ally with your current Health and 5...17% energy.
-While this spell has a mediocre Health gain at best, at least it gives back energy. It also endangers yourself by taking HP from you, even so this is one of the best options mesmer's can get. Why? Well, 0 recharge makes it a very reusable ressurection spell provided a healer is alive to keep up with you, 4 second recharge with high FC beats out even res signet, and most important of all; it only costs 5e...very compatible with a mesmer with the current energy drought.
Lively Was Naomei 15e 6c 20r
Item Spell. Hold Naomei's ashes for up to 45 seconds. When you drop her ashes, all party members in the area are resurrected with 15...63% Health and zero energy.
-Here is why I hate Light of Dwayna. Here you have an area spell that is more mobile (which means adaptable to circumstance), cheaper energy-wise, and returns more HP. Maybe its better if Light of Dwayna is linked to an attribute after all. This spell becomes exceptionally nice for mesmers who use MoR as it makes it a little bit more reusable at a lower recharge, though unless your party drops one by one irregularly or in irregular spots in the battle area, you really dont need to recast this often. "Area" is a pretty big AOE.
Signet of Return 0e 5c 20r
Signet. Resurrect target party member with 5...13% Health and 1...3% Energy for each party member within earshot.
-As a mesmer FC wont affect this (but Symbolic Celerity does I suppose). Even then its still a pretty bad res choice for a primary mes since it is linked to Leadership. at best if you arent using SoI you will be able to bring back a person with 30% HP and 6% energy (except for example, urgoz or deep where there are more party members). It also has a 20 second recharge making it pretty bad on reusability....unless you are packing those silly signet recharge dilly dallys.
That concludes the res SotD. If I missed somethin let me know. Next time were goin back to mesmer skills so until then!

Multiple Sclerosis Health Center
Clay Walker Strums Up Funds for Multiple Sclerosis
When guitar picker Clay Walker lost coordination in his right hand while playing basketball with friends in 1996, the Texan was justifiably nervous. "At first I was kind of laughing about it," he recalls. "But then I started having double vision and dizziness, and I couldn't stand up. And I realized, whoa, this is pretty serious." Walker went straight to a doctor, who diagnosed the chart-topping country singer with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic neurological disorder that attacks the brain and spinal cord, affecting 400,000 Americans.
Walker was befuddled by the diagnosis. "There was so little that had been publicized about MS at the time that I didn't know what it was," he says. Forget playing the guitar. According to the doctor who diagnosed him, the prognosis was grim. "He said that I would be in a wheelchair in four years and dead in eight."

10 Questions About Multiple Sclerosis
There are four types: Relapsing-remitting. This is the most common form. You have flare-ups followed by periods without symptoms, called recovery. Primary-progressive. With this type, you do not get the ups and downs. Your symptoms get worse over time. Secondary-progressive. You get flares and recovery periods at the start, then symptoms steadily worsen. Progressive-relapsing. This form is very rare. Symptoms worsen from the start. You experience...
Read the 10 Questions About Multiple Sclerosis article > >
Clay Walker's MS: in Remission
Luckily, that doctor was woefully misinformed. Symptoms of MS and their progression vary from person to person. They can be mild, such as numbness in the arms and legs, or severe, with paralysis or loss of vision. After Walker suffered two more attacks that year, his neurologist put him on a drug that halted the progression of the disease, and he's been in remission ever since.
Walker was appalled at how in-the-dark his first doctor was, so he decided to do something about it. "I figured with whatever celebrity I do have, I was going to get information out there for the people who don't know," he says. He didn't give up playing music, and in 2003 he created Band Against MS (www.bandagainstms.org), a nonprofit charity committed to providing educational information and assistance for those living with MS and funding programs to find a cure. Last month, Band Against MS produced a benefit concert in Nashville to raise money for MS research. And for MS Awareness Week, March 8-14, he'll be doing 30-second radio PSAs to support Band Against MS.
Walker's come a long way from that first doctor's visit. He and his wife now have a toddler and a brand-new baby at home. Quite a change from thinking he wouldn't walk his then-6-month-old daughter down the aisle. And his guitar picking is doing just fine as well. His new single, "She Won't Be Lonely Long," is rocking up the charts.

Afghans tell of US soldier's killing rampage
Masooma's account of the night has been reported variously over the past year, differing over details such as whether there was one or more than one U.S. soldier involved. However, the four hours she recently spent with the AP was her first face-to-face interview with a news organization. She spoke as her burly brother-in-law Baraan loomed nearby.
The interview took place outside Baraan's single-story mud home in Kandahar city, because Alokzai and Najiban villages, where the killings occurred, are too hostile for foreigners to visit. Even in Kandahar, some 150 kilometers (90 miles) away, the AP journalists sought to avoid being seen by Baraan's neighbors, who he feared would react negatively to their presence.
Masooma said that the soldier returned to the family's bedroom after killing her husband. She stood in terror. Her children hid under their blankets. The soldier moved slowly and seemed angry. Gesturing to show how he hit her in the arms and shoved her to the ground, Masooma said he then moved toward her son Hikmatullah, then 7.
Her son said he remembers the sight of the attacker in full military uniform. "I was so afraid. I pretended I was asleep," he said.
Masooma said the soldier found Hikmatullah and punched him repeatedly in the head.
She said the soldier then found her 2-year-old daughter, Shahara. He grabbed her pigtails and violently shook her head back and forth.
He then went to the crying baby Hazratullah and shoved the muzzle of his black pistol into the infant's mouth, she said.
"He just held it there in his mouth. I screamed and screamed, `He is just a baby. Don't kill him. Don't kill him.' But he just kept the gun in his mouth. He didn't say anything. He just stared at him," she recalled. As she recounted the attack, Hazratullah fussed and squirmed beneath the giant shawl that enveloped her.
After some time, she said, the soldier took the gun from the baby's mouth and walked back into the living room. Masooma dug her bare foot into the dirt to demonstrate how the soldier slipped his foot beneath her husband's head to lift it from the floor, as if to be sure he was really dead. The soldier looked down at her husband, shrugged his shoulders and returned to searching her home. After he finished rifling through their belongings, he left.
Investigators say Bales was armed with a 9 mm pistol and an M-4 rifle outfitted with a grenade launcher when he walked off his base and went on a nighttime killing spree in five homes, including Masooma's. He faces 16 counts of premeditated murder; six counts of attempted murder; seven counts of assault; and one count each of possessing steroids, using steroids, destroying a laptop, burning bodies, and using alcohol. He is being held in a military prison at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, south of Seattle in Washington state.
On April 23, Bales appeared in a military courtroom at Joint Base Lewis-McChord for a hearing that focused on what might happen if he is convicted, including which relatives and friends could speak on his behalf during a sentencing hearing. Such testimony could help determine whether he receives the death penalty.

"America is still the most religious nation on earth," said Bush Sr. during the 1992 presidential campaign. "Our fundamental moral standards were established by Almighty God." Bush did his best to whip up enthusiasm among religious groups. The platform was pro-life, proschool choice, and for prayer in the schools. The "Judeo-Christian heritage," it said, "informs our culture." The party believed that Americans are "free men and women with faith in God." Bush said, "If you are looking to restore America's moral fiber, why buy a synthetic when you can get real cotton?" And Pat Robertson, at the time a loyal surrogate among evangelicals, tried bashing Clinton by labeling his faith "pseudo-Christianity."
But neither Robertson nor Bush was a match for Clinton, who worked his audiences like a televangelist, tossing in quotes from Scripture with ease. To one audience, he said, "The Scripture says let him who is without sin cast the first stone. All I can say is in the last month I met a lot of perfect people." Hillary Clinton also became adept at using religion in politics and toured Arkansas telling people what it was like to be a Methodist.

Santa Marta, Tayrona, & Costeno Beach...
So after spending several days in Cartagena, I made my way northeast up Santa Marta. The coastal ride on HWY 90 was beautiful and inspiring. Shortly after leaving Cartagena the natural beauty of Colombia started to present itself. There are literally hundreds of beaches all the way up the Caribbean coast with many more palms than people. Santa Marta itself leaves a bit to be desired in my opinion. Some of the streets in the older sections of town are nice, but the remainder is an unattractive maze of strip malls, roads that are in a constant state of disrepair, and beaches that are fairly uninviting. Most utilize Santa Marta as a stopping off point during travels elsewhere.
I originally planned to spend a couple of nights in Santa Marta at Dreamer Hostel, which is just a bit outside of town. When I arrived, Jeffrey (RideForPeace) was there working on his bike. I had just split with him, Sheldon (RideForSmiles), and the boys in Cartagena and we didn't plan to meet, so it was a pleasant surprise. With a name like 'Dreamer', one would think the hostel would be a nice place to relax and catch up on rest. Unfortunately (or fortunately for some) that was NOT the case. Don't get me wrong, the parties at the hostel were fun, but the several nights I was there wore me the F out. Not to mention the side trips we would make to Taganga to sample some local Latin nightlife. Somewhere along the way I met a new Vietnamese/Canadian friend named Vylan. She and I got along well during our stay at Dreamer and eventually decided to make our grand escape further up the coast to Costeno Beach Surf Camp.
Costeno is heaven The beach that it sits on just east of Parque Tayrona doesn't even have a name (Costeno is just the name of the hotel/surf camp). That said, my attempts stopping in small towns along the way asking "donde esta Playa Costeno?" were all failures. I ended up blowing by the sign and riding up the coast for about 45mins farther than I should, but with absolutely no complaints. The road leading to Tayrona and then winding up the coast is stunning. At some points you have lush jungle covered mountains on your right, deserted white sand beaches with emerald water on your left, and snow covered glaciers in the background. It really was spectacular. After realizing that I had gone too far, I backtracked and eventually found the marked turnoff that I missed earlier.
The place was opened three years ago by a cool Canadian cat named Brian. He searched for property for some time and eventually came across this place. What started out as a surf camp with several boards and a tent has since blossomed and become more popular, and for good reason. The first two nights Vylan and I shared a beach hut, which was amazing. My bed was about 20 steps away from the ocean, which made sleeping quite easy. After the first two nights I ended up moving into a hammock in a covered area to save a bit of money, which was quite nice as well. This place is really special the sounds of the surf, wildlife chirping and chatting away, beautiful views all around, and general pleasantness makes lazing around from hammock to hammock all day very, very easy. I've been to countless beaches/coasts during my travels and costeno, along with the surrounding area, is definitely one of my favorites of all time. I can't remember seeing an area with as much undeveloped pristine beach area. You can walk for miles in any direction and not see another soul. Unreal.
At night Costeno lights up. Actually let me correct that, every OTHER night Costeno lights up. The first day we arrived everyone was lazily lounging around drinking a ton of water. I commented to someone how relaxed everyone seemed and everyone quickly told me that was because there was a massive party the night before on the beach. Sure enough that night was relatively quiet, but the following night was another big party on the beach. That pattern continued during my stay. There were around 30 - 40 people there at any given time and everyone seemed to have a very similar outlook and personality. That made for fantastic evenings filled with great music, conversation, dancing, fires on the beach, general rowdiness, and loads (LOAAADS) of rum.
So with a slightly heavy heart, I left Costeno today. Not too heavy however Nina, my dear German girlfriend from the boat, is working in Bogota for a month so I'm going to meet her there for a few days to spend some time exploring the city. Today I made the 360+ mile highway trek from Costeno to Bucaramanga. That meant backtracking on HWY 90 for a bit, then taking HWY 45 south all the way down, which was winding and beautiful the majority of the route. The closer you get to Bucaramanga, the elevation starts to increase and the temps drop slightly. I'll spend a brief night here and then want to see San Gil. After exploring San Gil and the surrounding winding paved/dirt roads, I'll make my way down to Bogota. San Gil is supposedly the adventure sports capital of Colombia, and an epically stunning location. I'm looking forward to riding all around the area en route to the big city. I'm also really looking forward to getting to Bogota to spend more time with Nina. Even with the severe lack of internet here on the coast, she and I have been keeping in contact.
On a random motorcycle side note, I failed to source SOAT (insurance) in Cartagena. I thought I would just get it at my convenience. Yesterday I took a day trip back into Santa Marta and drove around for what seemed like hours, popping in place after place, and found that they would only sell one year. I'm not sure if it's that I'm cheap, or dumb (maybe a combo of both), but I refuse to spend the $300 USD for a year of insurance when I'm only in Colombia for a month or so. So, for those thinking of doing a similar trip, I'll be the guinea pig and will let everyone know how it goes. I've heard mixed stories of people with and without it. Some good, some bad. I do have a State Farm insurance card from back home that shows an expiration of Nov 2014, so if I get asked I will just claim that it's valid worldwide. Hopefully a bit of Spanish, combined with a blend of friendliness and gringo stupidity, and I'll be ok. Cross your fingers
That's it for now. I need to get caught up on e-mail, finances, and other chores after being off the grid for a week. For those who've asked, I'm happy, healthy, and very content at present. Looking forward to slipping the helmet back on tomorrow morning to continue the adventure.
Ciao for now,
PS... That last pic is of Sheldon (RideForSmiles) and me watching Ewa do all the maintenance on his bike. Slack asses!!!

You can buy the SOAT for as little as 1 week if you go to a main office, should easily get this in Buca. I'd stongly advise to take the time and find it or be willing to play a really DUMB gringo. The 3 month policy is cheap and really good bargain especially if you get tied up in a big off, they have really good plastico and ortho docs in Colombia for a reason
If you like hiking you can go up to the high part of Colombia and see glacier and snow around
El Cocuy National Park for a really interesting side of Colombia that many never see, it will get you ready for the high Andes riding further on South.

Bucaramanga, San Gil, & Barichara...
After an uneventful evening in Bucaramanga (another relatively large city w/ slightly less appeal than some others - IMO), I pointed the bike south towards San Gil. The ride was beautiful, scenic, and allowed me to get in a fair amount of mountainous riding w/ plenty of cooler temps and twisty goodness. San Gil is a small town nestled on the Chicamocha Canyon. The canyon itself reaches 2,000 meters in depth at some points (compared to the Grand Canyon in the US, which only reaches a measly 1,800 meters at its deepest point), which creates a plethora of opportunity for trekking, climbing, rafting etc. Thus why San Gil has been dubbed the adventure capital of Colombia.
When I reached San Gil I explored a bit, but was enjoying the ride so much that I decided to make a last minute change and keep going about 20km up from the city to Barichara, and I am extremely glad that I did. Barichara is a very small village also in Santander department. It is widely known and accepted as one of the best preserved and most beautiful colonial villages in Colombia. It really is a special place. There is a tranquil vibe and way of life there. Everyone goes about their business and life at a seemingly slower pace. There is an obvious family friendly and communal vibe, and everyone has a smile on their face. I stayed at Tinto Hostel, which was amazing for $11USD per night w/ perfect secure parking for the bike inside the gate. After spending a couple of hours exploring and strolling through the town, I ended up in a hammock back at Tinto for the next six hours reading a book from start to finish. I haven't done that in... ever. A testament to the relaxation Barichara creates/provides.
The book I read, Everything That Remains (by Joshua Fields Millburn - The Minimalists), was gifted to me through Kindle by a friend Nina in Dallas. Thanks Nina, I owe ya one! Everything That Remains is not a how-to-book, but a why-to-book. A touching, surprising story of what happened when Millburn decided to let go of everything and begin living more deliberately. I related VERY much to his experiences and learned a metric $hit ton while reading. The book is equal parts uplifting, deeply personal, insightful, and exciting (when you think that you too can make similar positive changes). The memoir is peppered with helpful, and often hilarious, interruptions by Ryan Nicodemus, Millburn's best friend of twenty years.
I would highly, highly recommend the book to anyone. It is chock full of poignant quotable passages. Here is one that moved me deeply. It refers to why some don't make changes in their lives even if they want to or it's obviously necessary. Whether it be from external consumerist driven mindsets and expectations, fear, etc... ~ "It's that ingrained fear we all have, a natural instinct. We tend to be afraid of bucking the status quo. But when you do take that first jump, it actually becomes terrifying to do 'normal' things, because you realize what a risk it is to give up your entire life just to be normal." ~ I feel very fortunate that I've taken the first step referenced (I think). I sold and gave away the majority of my possessions and have taken off on a motorcycle. Something that I've always wanted to do, something I'm very, very proud of myself for achieving. However, the farther along on the adventure I get, the more scared I get at the thought of returning to my 'normal' life. It doesn't even seem possible at this point. Now I just need to figure out what the F I want to be when I grow up. Something most everyone is challenged with me thinks...
Anyway, after waking up refreshed in Barichara I hopped the bike for the long and winding 200+ mile journey south to Bogota. The ride was absolutely beautiful. Filled with lush green mountainous vistas in all directions, small inviting towns, and delicious roadside churrascarias (steakhouses). The past few days riding has really reminded me how much I enjoy being solo on the bike. It gives me a lot of time to focus and think. Not to mention I simply enjoy flipping the lid closed, cueing up the perfect song, and riding. The roads the past few days have been incredible and I'm stoked to get back on the bike soon to experience more. Before I do that however, I have some errands and chores to take care of here in the 'big city'. Speaking of big city, the drastic night-and-day contrast between slow paced Barichara and the surrounding country roads, and fast paced, insane, dense, stressful roads of Bogota is crazy! Nina booked a nice hotel for us here and I finally made it and settled in around 3pm. Since then I've been checking things off 'the list'. Laundry... check. $hitty haircut number four... check. New charger for iPhone... check. Etc, etc, etc.
Shortly after finishing this and flipping the lid closed on the laptop, I'll be grabbing the bike and driving it over to Bikes Adventure, which is a shop recommended by fellow ADVriders. I'm going to source new tires there and will probably repack the rear wheel bearings while the bike is apart. I'll also most likely perform some typical service while there as well (i.e. fluid changes, brake pads, etc). I've heard great things about the shop and owner, and apparently I can (hopefully) use some space to complete some of the work myself to save cost. Most importantly however, I need tires. The Heidenau K60's have held up fantastically well. I LOVE them. They handle well in all conditions. I've slapped well over 8k miles on them and would trust another 3k (at least). However, I'd rather spoon on new rubber while I'm here as I have some challenging terrain coming up in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Better to grab it now while it's a sure thing. I'll be sure to post up a review of Bikes Adventure after my experience there.
I think that's all for now... I need to run a few more errands today. Nina is working here in Bogota, so it's best to knock these things out while she is in the office. Speaking of Nina, when I saw her yesterday she was more stunning that I remember. We both mentioned that we were nervous about our reunion, but we hit it off like there was zero gap between meetings. We enjoyed a nice dinner and conversation last night and I'm really looking forward to spending more time with her here in Bogota. Only time will tell where things will go, but I'm enjoying everything immensely at present.
I hope everyone reading this back home is doing great. Now that I'm back online with decent interwebs I'll do my best to get caught up with friends and family.
Chat soon...

Thanks for the update. I was at work when I received it and it made me go on day-dream mode.
I will be heading there later this year. Told the parental units earlier this week and it is becoming more a reality. Thanks for the encouragement and great report.

So, I've been in Bogota four nights now and have to say that it's growing on me. I had been here before, but only briefly, and didn't get a chance to really check out the city. Nina treated me to a nice hotel the first couple of nights near the Flores Metro stop (nice little part of town w/ flower shops scattered about - hence the name of the Metro station). The third night we stayed at Tip Top Hostel, which is decent. They have a couple of properties and there is parking for the bike, but there is something wrong with everything here. There is hot water, but it is too hot (never thought I'd say that on this trip!). Like scalding hot, and you can't reduce the temp. There are curtains on the window, but when I went to close them the bar fell off the wall. There is a towel rack, but that fell as well when I put a towel on it. The location is good (La Candelaria) and there is parking for the bike, so I can't really complain in the end as free/secure parking is a biyatch to come by in Bogota.
Nina is working here for a couple of months, so during the days I have time to explore on my own and take care of necessary chores and errands. The other day, following a recommendation from a fellow ADVrider, I dropped in Bikes Adventure to take care of some bike schtuff. Immediately I met Mauricio (the owner) and his crew. They are all nice blokes and are very knowledgeable around motos. Mauro had his Super Tenere parked just outside the shop, so I knew I was in the right place. We chatted for awhile and I decided quickly to give him my business. We slapped on new Heidenau K60's, swapped out the rear wheel bearings, changed the rear brake pads, and gave the bike a much needed wash. Mauro even had his buddies at the wash print off some die cut stickers with my blog address for the bike.
While in the shop, Mauro introduced me to several of his friends. First I met Jean Paul, who runs Top 1 motor oil in Colombia. We had some great conversations and he and Mauro are trying to talk me into racing a Yamaha R6 for Top 1 in Expert Supersport class in the FEDEMOTO Colombian race series. If that comes to fruition the trip will be on hold, but I'll be racing a motorcycle again, and in a foreign land, which is amazing! More to come soon... I also met Camilo, who runs Mastech for all of Colombia. Mastech is the Colombian designed/produced version of Touratech. They have a very large catalog of high quality parts for all ADV needs. The cost seems to be a bit lower than the competition too, which should make it a very appealing option. Long story short, if you find yourself in Bogota and need ANY type of service, parts, and/or accessories for your bike, Bikes Adventure is your one stop shop. I HIGHLY recommend dropping in to see Mauro and the gang.
The night before last Camilo had a girlfriend in town from Medellin, so he invited Nina and me out for a night on the town. We stopped in for "a drink" at a nice underground salsa club and ended up staying for quite awhile (uhhhh... like ALL night). After XX (don't remember the actual number) bottles of Aguardiente and several Club Colombia cervezas later, we were all a bit wrecked and causing a right raucous. Okay really it was just me and Camilo, but to be fair, the girls did polish off their share of Guaro (Aguardiente). We had agreed that day to meet Mauro at 9am at the shop the next day for a ride to Villa de Leyva, which is a beautiful small Colombian colonial town about 100 miles north. Normally I'm the one complaining about 'Latin American time', but due to the Guaro I was the reason Nina and I were an hour late. Doh!!!
After shaking the fog, Nina and I did finally meet up with the gang for the ride to Villa. Mauro brought along his daughter, and Camilo had his girlfriend from Medellin along for the ride. The guys are so incredibly nice. Not only did they agree to ride with us, but it became a tour of the Colombian countryside as well. Mauro was sure to stop and show us several landmarks along the way (i.e. Battle of Boyaca site, etc). When we arrived in Villa they escorted us to our hotel to unload the bags prior to a nice lunch in the main plaza. The ride was beautiful, and the city was even more so. I didn't know what to expect, but the city is breathtaking. Whitewashed buildings all over, a cool breeze in the air, a laid back vibe, and beautiful lush green mountain vistas in the background create a very special and romantic place. Nina and I grabbed a nice campsite at Colombian Highlands Renacer Hostel, which was a very cool spot. There were several couples there overlanding in kitted Toyota Land Cruisers, and we even met up with Susan and Scott (Bentley's Big Adventure). Nina and I really enjoyed our time in the city and campsite together, and I would love to go back sometime in the future. We even talked about it being a great place to live at some point. It really is that special.
This morning we woke up fairly early and, after a nice breakfast, decided to explore a bit more of the town. We stumbled upon several incredible cafes and restaurants and had lunch. It started to look like rain was moving in, so we decided to pack it up and get back on the road. Nina is really enjoying riding on the bike, but I figured a wet 60 degree ride might change her perception a bit. The beginning of the ride was incredible. The roads just outside of Villa de Leyva wind up and down through lush green Colombian countryside. The miles were clicking away until we got close to Boyaca (which is where Bolivar's final battle with the Spanish was).
At that point the cars were at a standstill due to holiday traffic. I got the bright idea to bypass everyone on the right side (like everyone else does here, and I've done countless times). Well, due to the holiday there were a $hit ton of police out. I crested a hill on the right side (over the white line) and was immediately staring down a cop. He motioned me over, so I pulled over straight away. If you recall, I made the awesome decision to NOT buy SOAT, which turns out was a mistake. At first I told Nina to stay quiet and I would play the dumb gringo. I gave them all my paperwork, but my heart sank when homeboy said, "uhhh, y seguro?". I pulled out my State Farm insurance card with expiration of 11/2014 and told him, "seguro no necesito en Colombia" and that my insurance was "functionar en todo el mundo". Surprisingly he said, "oh really?" and went to hand my card back to me. Then he thought twice about that and called his buddy over.
Copper numero dos wasn't quite as gullible and/or friendly. He immediately started hounding me that it was illegal to drive without Colombian SOAT, and that they needed to impound the bike. He said I would need to take a bus with Nina to Bogota, pay a 600,000 COP fine, then get back out to East Bumblefukk to get the bike back. "Oh sweet shit sticks" I thought. At this point Nina took over. She started going at it with this guy back and forth in perfect Spanish. They just ignored me from that point on and were having a pretty heated conversation. I saw her go from mad, to sad, to perplexed, to happy, all in 20 minutes. She really pulled out all the stops, and before I knew it officer numero dos was handing my stuff back and telling us to be safe on the ride back. I couldn't freaking believe it! If Nina hadn't have been there this blog post would be MUCH different. Thanks babe!!! Long story short, I'll be tracking down SOAT tomorrow, and hope that my stupidity will help others out in the future. If you can't track down a beautiful German girl to get you out of trouble, BUY SOAT, or risk losing your ride!!!
Anyway, after $hitting my drawers and getting off with a pat on the back, we finally made it back to the city earlier today. We are back at Tip Top Hostel, but moving to Casa32 tomorrow for four nights (and yeah, I'll be buying insurance as well). They have nice cheap private rooms and private/secure parking for the bike, so it should be nice. I'm not sure what the plan is after that. I need to get moving at some point, but we're really enjoying each other's company, so it may be tough. Not to mention the opportunity to race, which may present itself. Only time will tell. I think I may check out the salt cathedral tomorrow or the next day as well, and am open to suggestions on things to do/see in the city during the days. In addition, there is a nice park close to Casa32, so I'll probably start up my exercise regimen again. I've been a slack ass, which absolutely DOES NOT work when eating like a fat arse in Colombia. :(
I guess that's it for now... However, I'll leave you with a few more pics.
The first few are from a street art tour of the city that I did the other day. Even if you aren't a graffiti fan, I would highly recommend taking the tour. It is free (tip not included), and is a great way to see and experience otherwise overlooked parts of Bogota. It is run by a nice Australian guy named Christian (artist tag - Crisp). If interested, hit me up for details.
The next few are from the lovely ride to Villa...
And finally, a funny one. This morning they were filming a music video for a popular pop artist named Juan Carlos at the hotel in Villa. The director was chatting with me about the bike and trip, and then asked if I would be in the video. So, here I am with a beautiful Colombian actress from Medellin trying to look "muy romantic". Keep an eye out for my music video debut soon! :)
Ok, more to come very soon... Hasta pronto,

Awesome update. Awesome Pics. I am a big ban of Ecuador since I was born there, but there is something about Colombia that is also amazing. I am glad it is in the north of SA. Spend that energy while you have it and sit and relax with wine and a fire further down the road in Argentina.
PM me when you think you might leave to Ecuador. I know of some good rides and places to stay. Cant say I know all the Salsa clubs though.

Wow, fellow Coloradoan, your trip is working out amazingly!
Your experiences are vastly different from mine, heading northward. I will be staying tuned to see if Peru and Bolivia present you with different options than I encountered.
Now I am bummed that I ran out of time and money before making it to Colombia.

I have seen copies of Richard Avedon's printing maps and they are very intense.
For years I kept notes, and recommend that to my students; on the other hand with years of experience and the loss of materials those those aren't that important.
In Larry Bartletts book on Black and White printing (which i highly recommend , ) he shows printing maps, much simpler and certainly make more sense.
Perhaps some of these where work notes, ideas, not necessarily carried out when once working under safe light.

We all know our beloved Disneyland holds a very magical holiday experience but is it the best holiday experience around? What do you think?
We all know our beloved Disneyland holds a very magical holiday experience but is it the best holiday experience around? What do you think?
i love the holidays at the resort. With the lights, the huge tree, small world holiday, the specail treats at the bakery, the carolers on main st. and snow falling on main st. its awesome!
I think it's the best overall experience around, yes. The snow, music, fireworks, food, decorations, rides, christmas tree..... it's everything you could want as a experience at a theme park.
I have never been during the holidays so I was just wondering.....thx guys
I LOVE DL at Christmastime! We've just returned from our 2nd year in a row, at DL for the holidays and I'd do it again next year! It's much more magical than anything I've found in Seattle!
Awwww man I really need to go!
We just booked today for the 24th-26th. We love Disneyland at Christmas. We couldn't think of anywhere else we would rather be on Christmas Morning than our Happiest Place on Earth. This is our second year of Disneyland Christmas' and I think it's going to be a tradition from now on.
Check out my flickr photos!
Was last year amazing?^^^
Well, Lets see. The airline lost all of our luggage, we only had the clothes on our backs, and had to buy all of our clothes at the resort, at resort prices.
Walked under the train bridge to nothing but Disney Magic and an airline shopping spree ( To be reimbursed later. ): Priceless.
I would do it again in a heartbeat. Oh ya, were going to do just that, just without the lost luggage part. ( Were driving down this time. )
Nothing beats the Disney Christmas Magic.

There is no better time of the year to come to Disneyland. You are so immersed in the Christmas Spirit that the Magic just shines. I am going tomorrow which will be the third trip this month just to be there. You have to come. And every year there is something new so each year just gets better and better.
Peter Pan Forever!!! I Will Never Grow Up.
Thank You Poisonedapples
i'll experience next year
I'm going to have to say that it IS the best time to be at Disneyland! The gingerbread cookies are YUMMMMMY. The atmosphere is just even more magical. The lights are magnificent and the sun isn't too harsh! I think it's perfect!
It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Foolish Mortal
When I lived in Southern California, I used to go at other times of the year, because I could... now I live up in the Bay Area, so it's tougher to get here. The holidays are really the only time of the year my wife can get the time we need to come down. And we have started making it a Christmas tradition. We either go just before, or just after and now we stay a few days. This year it's the day after Christmas for 3 days and I'm thrilled. Even with the crowds, it's really so beautiful and the cooler weather is a plus. Can't wait.
Last year was my families first and ever trip to Disneyland (or any of the Disney Parks for that matter) we were there the first week in December, and we loved every minute of it. We come from the frozen north, so a "warm, green" Christmas is definatley something we have never experienced. None the less, it was the best time we ever had, and Disney does definately immerse you in the magic, and wonder of Christmas! In fact, we have talked about our Disney trip all year long! If we could do it, we would definately go again!

St. John's women end UConn's home win streak at 99
STORRS, Conn. Kim Barnes Arico and her St. John's Red Storm ended two incredible UConn streaks and years of frustration with one shocking victory.
Shenneika Smith's 3-pointer from the wing with 8 seconds left lifted St. John's to a 57-56 win over No. 2 Connecticut on Saturday night, snapping the Huskies' 99-game home court winning streak. It was the Huskies' first home loss to an unranked opponent in nearly 19 years.
"It's truly unbelievable," Barnes Arico said. "There aren't many teams that can say they beat UConn in this place and now we're one of them."
St. John's became only the fifth team to win at Storrs since 1993, joining Tennessee, Georgia, Notre Dame and Rutgers. The Red Storm, who have won seven of their last eight games - the lone loss coming to then-No. 2 Notre Dame - haven't had much success anywhere against the Huskies. They lost the previous 27 meetings since a home victory over the Huskies in 1993.
"It's amazing for our team," said senior Da'Shena Stevens, who led the Red Storm with 15 points and eight rebounds. "We've been playing great. We made a statement tonight. To play against a really good team on their home court with what they were going for tonight and to beat them is amazing."
Trailing by two with 16 seconds left, Nadirah McKenith drove the lane and kicked it out to Smith, who hit the 3 to give the Red Storm (18-8, 10-3 Big East) the lead.
"When (coach) wrote the play up, I hadn't hit one all day and this was the going to be the one I hit," said Smith, who had only made three of her 22 3-point attempts this season before that shot.
UConn (24-3, 11-2) had one final chance, but Bria Hartley's 3-point attempt from the corner was short, setting off a wild celebration at midcourt by the Red Storm.
"Days like today are a reminder that you're only supposed to win when you play really well and beat the other team. We didn't deserve to win. I don't care if we won 900 in a row at home," Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma said. "Leading up to that last shot, if that shot goes in - hey that's 100 in a row. Realistically, though, St. John's outplayed us today. They did what they wanted to do better than what we wanted to do. It was a fitting end for them."
The Huskies last lost at home on March 6, 2007, falling to Rutgers in the Big East championship game. The NCAA counts the Huskies' postseason games in Hartford and Storrs as home games. With the UConn men's loss earlier in the day to No. 12 Marquette in Hartford, it marked the first time that both Huskies teams lost at home on the same day since Feb. 27, 1993.
UConn became the latest high-ranked team to lose to an unranked opponent. West Virginia shocked Notre Dame last weekend and Alabama upset No. 7 Kentucky.

Who is feeding their LO actual real food? and how many teeth do they have? Mine nly has 3 - 2 bottom 1 ontop and i haven't attempted real food yet. Shes easting stage 2 and 3 foods.
Comments (10)
My little guy has 4 teeth now, two on the top and two on the bottom, but I was feeding him the same thing we were eating before he had any teeth, I was just careful that the food was either already soft, or cooked to a soft state and then cut into appropriate sized chunks. He took a little while to adjust but does very well on the table food and loves to feed himself from his high chair tray. It makes a huge mess, but dinner is easy to plan since he's just eating what we are and no temper fits because he wants our food.
He also eats a variety of foods I wouldn't have expected this way. I was eating a spinach salad yesterday and he wanted some so I gave him a few leaves of spinach and he ate them! I hated spinach as a child and it surprised me. He also loves onions, garlic, spices, and all sorts of things I wouldn't have expected, although I try to keep him away from salt or sugars in his food.
Happy mom to Neville Fenton, June 2012 & Leif Fischer, April 2014.

DS (10 mo) now has 5 teeth. He at least tries almost everything we eat.. however, he eats very little, and won't feed himself. He is still eating stage 2's for the most part.
But, babies can eat without having teeth. Their gums are hard enough to gum stuff to death. Just make sure it is soft and reasonably sized.

4 teeth - 2 top, 2 bottom. And he eats table foods. In fact, he's getting to the point where he hates being fed and wants to do it all himself.
Sarah - I'm shocked at the stuff Jackson likes too. In fact, there isn't anything we've given him that he hasn't liked yet.
We still have a hard time gagging on meats. They get too dry in his mouth and cause problems

Tooth #7 just showed up yesterday. She eats pieces of cheese, cooked carrots, kiwi, banana, spaghetti, soups, potatoes......really anything that can be cut into small pieces and is reasonably soft. We started most of that stuff when she only had two teeth on top and 2 on the bottom.

The Brits are in a frenzy Sunday morning following an unprecedented outburst by a member of the royal family.
Queen Elizabeth's cousin, Princess Michael of Kent, went on television to promote her latest novel Saturday but the conversation quickly took an unexpected turn.
While insisting she was "very fond" of Princess Diana, Princess Michael launched into a slam against the way Prince Charles' late wife was raised and her lack of education, the MailOnline is reporting.
PHOTOS: Princess Diana Through The Years
"Many people of little education with find themselves, like pop stars or film stars, suddenly lauded by the whole world, it is very difficult if you have not had a mother bringing you up who was quite stern and strict. She did not have a mother bring her up and she did not have much education, so it is much harder to cope with eulogy."
To make matters even worse, Princess Michael then went after Diana's former in-laws.
"Let's hope there are more marriages soon because I think to have that young generation is terribly good for people. The people love to see happy young people and I think the older generation are a bit boring for most people.
PHOTOS: Royal Flashback! Kate Middleton Looks Just Like Princess Diana
The royal cousin is a big fan of Prince William and Kate Middleton but that was not enough to win Princess Michael any fans with her opinions.
One royal biographer gave her TV interview a one-word review, "Rubbish!"

"Bun B for President"
Wyclef may have tried to make history as the first rapper to rule an actual sovereign nation, but hip-hop heads ride for Bun B en masse, so this jam's an honor as an idea even if Cole's autopilot execution isn't anything to drunk-text home about. Halfway through, the host clams up and lets the woozy, jazzy beat ride out, prime real estate for Bun to develop, bar by sturdy bar, on the totally inevitable all-star remix.
"Hey, Soul Sister"
Nick a set of Hawaiian ukulele chords, pepper with whatever pop-culture references come to mind, smirk your way to superstardom, rinse, repeat. Is this—or "Drops of Jupiter"—really even a song?
Dropping their best two records in eons in a single 12-month stretch—Quarterstice and the newer Move of Ten—these reclusive glitch-tone Brits are on a mean streak. "y7" boinks and sizzles like some kind of nightmarish, amoeba-qua-pinball machine; there's a warped, elastic momentum here that's oddly reassuring, even as it leads absolutely nowhere.
Zach Hill
"Memo to the Man"
Don't bite the hand that feeds you, and all that, right? But deference and contempt aren't necessary exclusive, most messages are mixed, and "Memo" is as much of a conflicted mess as its title implies—which is as it should be.
Mike Posner
"Cooler Than Me"
The first reader to identify what "Cooler"—which almost makes me nostalgic for middle school—shares in common with Nine Inch Nails' "Starfuckers, Inc" wins a No-Prize. Just don't ask me how Posner scammed his way onto the Warped Tour over the summer; I'm as flummoxed as you are.

NEW ORLEANS A 66-year-old Raceland man was sentenced Thursday to 12 and a half years in prison after law enforcement officials say they found more than 1,000 images and nearly 500 videos of child pornography on his computer.
Ronald Breaux was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Nannette Jolivette Brown.
According to court documents, Breaux used 'peer-to-peer' file sharing programs to search for, download and share the images and videos of children some as young as 18 months old engaged in sexual activity.
The documents said Breaux had cataloged the pictures and placed them in folders on his computer with names like 'young,' 'crime,' and 'incest.'

Fun game. Comes with the "Orange Box". MOTHERGREEN11-15-2007, 06:47yeah its a great game. a few things changed from tfc but overall a very fun game. pyro is the best! I got sidetracked in my tf2 time because of cod4 I havn't been able to tear myself away from that game to play any others. Tvov11-15-2007, 08:17I downloaded the demo for COD4, and my computer seems to handle it fine even though it seems to be below the required specs. I just have so many games right now that it is hard for me to justify buying another! MOTHERGREEN11-15-2007, 19:07yeah I know.. I bought tf2 only a few weeks prior to getting cod4 and gears of war.. havnt even installed GoW yet and I havn't played any of my other games either. lol... I'll make time for them eventually. cod4 runs great on my ati x800 which surprised me cuz the graphics are stunning and my card is old. Henry Krinkle11-17-2007, 04:32Just get a 360 and don't worry about system specs anymore! MOTHERGREEN11-17-2007, 04:39i guess you never noticed that they come out with a new consol every 5 years have you? Henry Krinkle11-17-2007, 08:52Yeah, but it's still cheaper than trying to maintain a high end PC. MOTHERGREEN11-17-2007, 14:34i suppose thats true. im at the point now where I can run the games on their max graphics but not at the same fps as I was getting in older ones. a gcard upgrade is in my near future. Henry Krinkle11-17-2007, 20:30I was pricing some the other day...you could buy another gun for the price of one of the good ones. MOTHERGREEN11-17-2007, 21:25yeah. ati lists a 3800 as being their newest and I guess it must be since its not even listed on best buy yet. but the one thats listed second on their site the 2900 goes for 300.00. so I guess the new one is gonna cost like 500? and then I know my agp motherboard is too old for these pci gcards.. so I gotta upgrade that... cost sucks but when I figure that I bought this computer dec of 99 its handled every new game since then. Tvov11-18-2007, 15:58What I need to do is see an Xbox game with graphics that equal my computer. I am assuming it is the TVs that people use? I have not played Xbox 360 yet, but whenever I have tried out friend's Xbox games the graphics are always poor... compared to my computer at least, and I don't have a top end computer. Whenever I hear about the great graphics on Xbox, I always assume they are talking about compared to older versions of Xbox. I would like to see how Xbox looks on a $1500 LCD or Plasma screen. WellArmedSheep12-19-2007, 11:17I have TF2 and get a couple hours play time in a week...still doesn't compare to the old standby (for me, at least): CS:S. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.

Can it be more obvious? Thirteen Syrian rebel groups–including the most important in Aleppo and Damascus–demand an Islamist state in Syria and say they don't care what the official rebel, U.S.-backed politicians say.
By the way, only one of these groups is an al-Qaida group, Jabhat al-Nusra. ... Read more: Syrian Rebels Say: We Demand Radical Islamism; U. S. Says: We Can't Hear You

Weapons experts point to the successes of the West in both Iraq and Libya in destroying large weapons arsenals. Yet there are certain problems that weapons inspectors have had to deal with over the years that are common to all attempts to deal with control of the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) ...

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber plans to sign a measure that would allow restricted driver's licenses for immigrants who are in the state without legal permission. Supporters say the legislation is aimed at improving road safety. "When we have uninsured, untested drivers, there's a cost to society," said state Rep. Jessica Vega Pederson, one of the sponsors of the bill.

Never been there and don't know anyone who has -- and as I said in an earlier post I've spent 4 seasons in the Eastern Carib. From my overland trips to the windward side of several islands my guess is that most of these bays probably aren't suitable for cruising boats and are accessible only by exposing yourself to a bash to windward in getting there. Bear in mind that in Carib sailing the windward side of islands routinely experience trades of 20-25 kts. It's one thing to sail in the trades with the wind on or abaft the beam, but bashing into them to get to the windward side of an island and then finding your way through a reef to shelter in a spot that probably has the look and feel of a similar bay on the leeward side of the same island......well, it's probably not worth the effort. In short, there are lots of places on the leeward side of islands or in areas that don't require a big beat to windward. In my experience most cruisers in the Carib stick to the leeward side of islands.
One of the issues you'll deal with moving up or down the island chain in the Caribbean is the acceleration of wind velocity when moving between islands. This is especially true with islands with big mountains near their N and S coasts. The islands create a Venturi effect between the headlands on the north and south coasts of two islands. To get to the windward side of an island you often need to beat into 25 or more knots of wind in seas created over a 2000+ mile fetch. Not a lot of fun, believe me.
If you want to see the windward side of Martinique, rent a car.

Health Minute Talks About Stress Management
Story By: Larry Stine
Originally Published on: 12/2/2013
Stress can rear its sometimes ugly head anytime and anywhere. And, left unmanaged, can have negative effects on our health. In today's Health Minute, Susan Hendricks has more on one program designed to help people control it. Paula Skrzypek has been caring for her mother for five years, in addition to working a full-time job. She is exhausted. To help manage her stress, Paula uses an online tool developed by her co-workers at the Cleveland Clinic. "It's guided imagery, it's progressive muscle relaxation, it's different breathing techniques," says Dr. Michael Roiszen, Chief Wellness Officer at the Cleveland Clinic. "Different meditation techniques." For a small, one-time fee, participants sign up online and fill out a questionaire to pinpoint the causes of their stress. Then, they go through a six-week course to learn and practice different ways to manage it. Dr. Roizen says stress level reduction is of critical importance. "Seventy percent of the cost of medical care in America is caused by chronic disease, tobacco, physical inactivity, food choice and portion size and unmanaged stress," he says. "Turns out, the unmanaged stress may vbe the highest one because it causes the food choices and it may cause the tobacco, etc." He says one of the keys to success is continuing with the relaxation techniques after the six-week period, like Paula does. She says the program has helped her learn to take life one step at a time. "You just have to be mindful and stay relaxed, focused for the moment," she says. "Just live in the moment."

Mobius Mitts v1
The beauty of the möbius loop for knitting and crochet is that you get to work either side of the foundation chain, so that you start your work in the middle and go outwards.
People will be fascinated when you hand over your mitts and let them twist and try to work them out!
Thank you for your patience with the evolving nature of this pattern. It started as an experiment and has been improved and tailored to suggestions and troubleshooting.
4/10 (links to video tutorials provided for skills required)
- chain
- single crochet
- half-double-crochet
- double crochet
- increase and decrease
The crocheting is very easy, getting the initial twist correct is the tricky part. Please find a flat surface and a quiet few minutes to work through the first 3 rows of pattern. Follow the images and instructions for these rows very carefully to obtain the mirror image twists.
Please take the time to check your gauge.
Blocking is recommended: soak in warm water, gently squeeze out excess, try them on while wet to ensure you have them right side out, lay out flat and tweak shape to look best.
