Re: Can I sail to the Bahamas with NO experience?
It ain't rocket science ... look at all the idiots who do it.
I've told this story before but I think its worth repeating. I surveyed a Catalina 47 in 2004 for a fella who had never sailed before. He bought the boat, spent two weeks loading it up then left the dock (singlehanded).
18 months later I got a email from him in having a great time in Trinidad. A couple of years later he came back to Toronto, bought a trawler and headed off for the loop.
He were'nt no rocket scientist but his momma didn't raise no dummies either.
A little knowledge, a little common sense and a spirit of adventure will take you a long way.

WHITBY -- Hardship is something Simon Kariuki understands all too well.
Strangely enough, it's also something the Whitby man appreciates. While most Canadians will never face the struggle some Kenyan families face trying to afford to send their children to high school, it's one Mr. Kariuki dealt with as a teen.
Today, the 42-year-old OPG worker says those hardships gave him the drive to try to spare others from enduring the same. It's also why he's working with the Rotary Club of Whitby to host the first Bidii Children's Charity Run for Africa in Ajax on May 4.
The event will raise money to help pay education fees for deserving teens in his home village of Mbuju, which lies almost 350 kilometres away from Kenya's capital, Nairobi.
"We like to say it's where all roads come to an end," joked Mr. Kariuki of his village.
In Kenya students are expected to pay to attend school after the elementary level, which can be an obvious hardship on families with less means. The issue is close to Mr. Kariuki's heart as he is one of seven children.
His family struggled to afford those fees for him and his siblings from earnings brought in by their farm and his father's job as an elementary school teacher.
It became even harder when, at only 17, Mr. Kariuki lost his father to cancer. The money from their farm and his father's meager pension meant the family's means clashed with his late father's dedication to having his children exceed educationally.
Mr. Kariuki remembers how his mother did her best to help pay the school costs.
"I saw the frustration and hopelessness in her as she tried to push us to finish school," said Mr. Kariuki, who remembered once having to walk almost 20 kilometres to the home of a local councillor because his mother heard of an opportunity for a bursary.
"She would go after every lead for us. Most didn't bear fruit but she still tried."
In the end Mr. Kariuki did finish high school and went on to attend university in Kenya and later in Germany, studying engineering.
During his time as a student, he started budgeting his government grants to be able to send money back to his family for his sibling's high school fees. Over the years he would also send money back to his village to help other needy students in similar situations. He wouldn't say how many he helped -- it's something Mr. Kariuki doesn't believe he should be hailed for.
"I don't like putting numbers to it; I've never paid someone's fees from the beginning to end and I don't want to take credit for only chipping in," said Mr. Kariuki.
He did point out that one girl he helped, Margaret, went on to become a community and charity worker back in their village and has been his partner in organizing the current charity drive.
She and Mr. Kariuki had for years helped students on a piecemeal basis, but he wanted to have a greater effect.
"I realized after working at OPG the advantages to sitting down and organizing it," said Mr. Kariuki, who hopes the run will raise enough to fully fund a student's four years of high school.
"I really want to focus on finding a long term solution."
That solution involves the standardized tests Kenyan students take prior to entering high school. Mr. Kariuki hopes to financially help those who score high despite enduring hardships as he and his partner have.
"If you score high in those adverse conditions I think you can make it through and you should have the help to do it," said Mr. Kariuki, who pointed out the name of his race is a Swahili word meaning hard working and resilience. "We don't want to let any kid working hard to succeed fall through."
Ensuring teens get access to education is something instilled in him by his father, who always pushed Mr. Kariuki and his siblings to excel at school.
"My father believed education is the only thing to help you escape the poverty trap," said Mr. Kariuki. "It's a tool you're given and to give that back to the kids at home is my dream."
The Bidii Children's Charity Run for Africa will take place Monday, May 4 at the Rotary Park Pavilion, 177 Lake Driveway W., in Ajax. Three different events are planned: a one-kilometre kids' dash at 9 a.m., with a 10k or 5k run or walk following. Those interested in learning more can visit the group's Facebook page.

Leo's E-topia
Leo's E-topia
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
Leo has always been green. The environment is definitely his number one cause. Although he likes his private jet, he does drive a Prius. Now he is taking his love for planet Earth to the small screen. His plan is to do a reality show called E-topia. Here's more:
Variety reports "Survivor" producer Craig Piligian will pair with DiCaprio to turn a yet-to-be-selected "down-and-out" town into an eco-friendly, green paradise. DiCaprio, who must have a lot of time on his hands since splitting from high-maintenance supermodel Gisele Bundchen, will be co-creator and executive producer.

I think Leo is allowed to become more aware of things happening in the world & doing something about things he feels strongly about. Just because he was in a movie that destroyed the enviroment does not mean he is never allowed to become concerned about it.

Celebrity or no celebrity as soon as you are born a human you are part of the problem. No matter how hard everyone tries to be as green as they can they will always be wasteful. That is just how modern society works. I just think people who have more money waste more than people with less, ie celebrities.

I traded in the Expedition for a Prius and recycle and do what I can to conserve energy.. but if I need to get from LA to NYC.. I think I would probably have to fly too. And since the personal jets use less fuel than a jumbo jet..esp one that has to taxi and sit on a runway waiting for take off longer (which burns more fuel) then in actuality he is still using less fossil fuels. :)

Okay, does anyone remember the movie that he was in called "The Beach". That movie was known to have totally wrecked the eco-system of that island. They bulldozed it to make it look like that. I know he was young and did not know any better but come on, stars are the biggest hypocrites out there. A lot of movies wreck the natural surroundings they film in. I am sorry but I am sick of stars being praised and honored for doing what all humans who live on this earth are obligated to do.

AWESOME!!!! I love this idea!! Leo is one of my fav's for his devotion to the earth! It is such an important issue & doesn't get enough attention in Hollywood, IMO

Breakfast for dinner is always a hit, but what about dessert for breakfast? Why not start the day with something so sinfully delicious it makes getting out of bed early worth it? These homemade pancakes are moist and cake-like, studded with chocolate chips and loaded with flavor from fresh bananas and organic cinnamon. It's just like eating an actual slice of banana bread, without the extra sugar, dairy and guilt.
Makes 4-5 medium-sized pancakes
1-1/2 cups rolled oats
1 tsp. baking powder
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
¼ tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 Tbsp. unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 egg
1 banana, sliced
2 Tbsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Toppings: walnuts and maple syrup
1. In food processor, blend oats to fine, four-like powder.
2. Add all remaining ingredients, except chocolate chips and walnuts; blend until smooth. Fold in a tablespoon of chocolate chips.
4. Spoon ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto heated skillet coated with non-stick spray. Let pancake cook to firm slightly, then gently place sliced banana and sprinkle another tablespoon of chocolate chips on top. Let cook, then flip and cook other side.
5. Top with walnuts and maple syrup, if desired.

Solo on The White Rim, Utah
My friends and I had been planning a big Baja ride for months when they started waffleing. It went from 9 days lost in Baja to a weekend in Nevada. That wasn't the trip that I had taken a week off for, so I withdrew in a huff. Since when is work a reason to bail? It was so bogus and I was disconsolate. I was moping around the house when my wife Margy suggested "let's go to Utah, we can camp and hike and you can ride the White Rim or something?" Lightbulbs went off and I was fully restoked. We packed the van with gear, toys and our boy Jake and off we went.
In preparation I posted a "Are solo dual sport rides OK?" thread here on ADV. Riider for advice and inspiration. The responses were unanimously positive and the advice was good.
In the nights leading up to the ride my dreams were filled with danger and excitement. They ranged from crashing into the river or off cliffs to blissfully cruising for hours in the awesome desert southwest.
Finally the day arrived. We parked at the start of the Hosethief Trail and I nervously packed. Suddenly another solo guy on a XR 400 sped by. The nervousness vanished and I was totally psyched, YEE HAW here I go! I had decided to go counter clockwise since we had ridden it twice on mtn. bikes before (once in a day with Marge) and gone clockwise both times.
That is Jake in the background playing with his emergency vehicles.
The Horsetheif heads down to the river and soon you enter Canyonlands Nat. Park.
The road goes along the Green River for awhile and is super narrow. I had to pass one bike tour truck with inches to spare. The river loomed ominously below.
After a few miles the road heads away from the river and I stopped to take the jacket off and put my extra gallon in the tank. The extra gas was superfluous as the XR gets ~50 mpg and the tank is a 4 gallon rig. One bit of advice that I had received was to cruise, that is go about 80% of my normal group speed. So I had started extra slow, but after a while the fun factor kicked in and it was wheelies and chaw-airs off bumps. Still not fast but just fast enough to have fun.
I stopped at the Murphy's Hogback to check out the view and the outhouse. I was sitting there with the door propped open when I heard vehicles approaching. Quickly I scrambled out and got them to take my picture.
Continuing on I went out the spur road to the White Crack Campground for lunch. It sits on the point above the confluence of where the Colorado and Green rivers come together. There was nobody for miles around.
After lunch I stopped above Monument Basin for a view of the spectacular Standing Rock. I am a lifetime rock climber and had climbed it in ~1989 with Marge and a couple other friends. It is ~300+ tall and very loose as far as rock quality goes.
I cruised on and passed the only other dual sport guys that I saw. There was a guy on a WR, a DRZ and a KTM. Continuing past the Schaeffer Trail I stopped for this view of the Colorado River.
Soon the road approached the Potash Mine outside Moab where I stopped. The intense blue is a Potash evaporation pond near the mine.
The White Rim is a fun ride and the scenery is spectacular. You get out there miles from nowhere so the adventure value is high. There was nothing technical or dicey to get gripped about and is therefore a perfect choice for a solo.
Thanks for the advice and encouragement you all!
sweet. i gotta get out there someday.
That's too cool, awesome ride Dave, I wish I was with you.
Nice pictures & great report.
When were you out there?? I did the White Rim solo on a yellow F650GS on April 8th and passed a few guys....
Great ride, yeah!!
See - - solo is not so bad...
If you're solo and uhm, cautious, is it better to go clockwise or counter-clockwise? Or does it matter? :ear
White Rim Trail = Wet Dream Trail
very nice. congrats on your first solo adventure, and great pix. :thumb
Thanks fpr the pics. Next week my oldest and best of friends are going to do the White Rim ride togeather. Their riding their GS's and I'm taking the HP 2 for a spin. Two weeks till we go, Thanks for the post..:evil
De Eee holy smokes
Second picture . That cattle crossing. looks more like a "don't enter unless you ride can go over this" . :lol3
Excellent! Glad you did the solo trip! Invigorating, isn't it!!!
looks like a beautiful place, how far from denver??????
Nice ride report... planning to get out there on the GS myself one of these days.
Thanks for the inspiration!:thumb
Bravo!! :clap
I can never get tired of seeing pics of that place. I even have a large scrap book of my own!
I think your solo experience was very rewarding for you. Am I wrong?
Glad you made it home safe!

AP Exclusive: Priests who abuse impaired targeted
If the evidence is overwhelming, the Congregation can refer the case directly to the pope, who can issue a decree dismissing the priest from the priesthood altogether, a fast-track procedure adopted in the aftermath of the 2002 U.S. abuse scandal amid demands for faster justice for obvious abusers.
The Vatican has said in an informal set of guidelines that bishops should follow local civil laws concerning reporting abusive priests to police.
The issue of priests who abuse mentally deficient adults has already come before the Vatican's Apostolic Signatura, or high court: In 2007, the court revoked the right of a priest to exercise his ministry after he was found to have had sexual relations with a mentally impaired adult woman.
And it has come before civil courts in the U.S. as well. In 2002, the Jesuit order agreed to pay $7.5 million to two mentally disabled men who said they were sodomized and molested for decades by Jesuit priests at a Northern California retreat, the Los Angeles Times reported at the time.
Beyond sex abuse crimes, the new document is also expected to gather together into one document other "grave" canonical crimes, including the attempted ordination of women. Already in 2007 the Congregation issued a decree saying that anyone who tries to ordain a woman, and the woman herself, incur automatic excommunication. The thrust of that decree is expected to be reprinted in the new instruction.

The Algarve region
Local Information & Days Out
The Algarve boasts some of the finest beaches in the world, from long promenades of long golden sand to unobtrusive secluded coves which were once the hideaway of smugglers and pirates alike.
The East offers a more relaxed sloping coastline with the sea gently lapping against the shore.
This graduates in stages across to the West where you will see what looks like a massive confrontation between the Atlantic and the cliffs of Sagres and Cape St. Vincent (named the end of the world, as it is the last piece of land before South America.) Wherever you are in the Algarve, a beautiful beach is never far away.
The West Coast
Although the sea is a little rougher and slightly colder, the beaches of the west coast are well worth exploring as they offer spectacular expanses of sandy beach. Some of the best are found at Carrapateira, Bordeira, Arrifana and Amoreira.
The Algarve is exposed to strong seas and care must be taken when bathing in the sea. It is vitally important that the beach flag system is followed at all times.
Flags (Beach Safety):
GREEN: Sea safe, life-guard an duty
GREEN & CHEQUERED: Sea safe, no lifeguard on duty
YELLOW: sea suitable for strong swimmers only
RED: Stay ashore, no swimming
Lagos Area
Mesa Praia or Sao Roque - This broad expanse of sand stretches for 4km and offers all kinds of facilities for those who enjoy watersports.
On the isthmus of the Alvor bar stands Meia Praia fort, which defended Lagos bay in the 17 th and 18 th centuries. Historians say that it was off these beaches that the galleons carrying the treasure of Moctezuma, an Aztec emperor captured by the soldiers of Herman Cortez, were shipwrecked in 1522.
Batata, Estudantes, Homens, Pinhao, Dona Ana and Camilo - sandy coves tucked between brightly coloured cliffs, these beaches include some interesting rock formations. Calm and clear water. Many believe these to be the most delightful beaches in the Algarve.
Canavial and Porto-de Mos - long beaches between cliffs. Tourist facilities.
Luz - a tourist centre with a cosmopolitan flavour. Large beach.
Dona Maria - a calm and isolated beach
Barril - Barril is long enough to encompass both a cosmopolitan atmosphere and near complete isolation.
Cordoma - its worthwhile trying to find a beach called Cordoma. You drive to it through Villa De Du Bispo. There are spectacular several hundred foot high cliffs and miles of empty beaches.
The Monchique area is a wonderful place to head for if you enjoy walking and trekking.
The Monchique Bio Park Network has been designed to offer a series of mapped and marked routes that allow you to get out and about in otherwise difficult terrain. It is ideal for walking, cycling and horse-riding. If you are of reasonable health and take some form of regular exercise, you should be capable of taking on most of the Bio-Park routes.
There are small eating places on every route but remember to bring adequate water (up to 5 titres for a whole day), sunscreen, a hat, loose clothing and comfortable footwear. Some routes pass close to farmhouses, the dogs may bark loudly but mainly it is just noise so don't be alarmed.
Portuguese Countryside Code:
Please show respect for nature, people and places you visit. Do not pick plants, fruit or flowers from the trails. Use rubbish points in public areas, do not leave litter.
Don't light open fires, carefully extinguish any cigarettes and do not leave broken glass or combustible materials around or in open sunlight.
LUZ - Cliff walks
Make your way up the pathway from Praia da Luz to the trig point at 109 meters. That might be enough walking for some, for some more energetic it is a moderate walk of about 3 km eastwards to Porto da Mos.
If you are still up to it, carry on walking for another 5 km or so, all the way to Lagos via the spectacular headland at Ponta da Piedade. You can get a bus back to Praia da Luz.
It is possible to walk from Luz to Burgau going West, which is a very spectacular and enjoyable walk. Burgau is a very authentic Portuguese village and a good place to go for a bite and a bit of sightseeing.
The Praia da Luz area
Ponta da Gaivota is situated in a quiet and enviable position, with fantastic sea views and just a short walk, about 10 minutes, to the centre of Praia da Luz with its golden beach, cafes, shops and restaurants.
Praia da Luz is located in the Western Algarve of Portugal; approximately one hour west of Faro airport, and a short drive from the larger, historic town of Lagos. It has the advantage of being within easy reach of many picturesque bays and coves along the Algarve coast. Praia da Luz has developed over the past few years into a small, peaceful and popular family resort.
The sweeping sandy beach, which has a Blue Flag rating, as well as full time professional life guards, is ideal for families as it offers safe bathing as well as many types of water sports (from May to October).
March to October is warm with little rain in the south. With an average of 3,000 hours of sun per year, the south-facing coast of the Algarve is the sunniest, driest, and warmest part of the country. Tempered by the Atlantic Ocean means the summer heat rarely reaches the unpleasant levels sometimes found in other parts of the Mediterranean. Winters are mild and wet.
Places to Visit
Lagos: With one of the largest bays on the Algarve, Lagos is an attractive, bustling town conquered in the 8th century by the Moors who left behind fortifications, some of which can still be seen today. The centre of the town consists of pretty 18th and 19th century buildings. Cobbled streets and enchanting squares link the maize of thoroughfares creating an ambience of charm, culture and history in this captivating town. The citizens of Lagos continue to make their living from fishing giving the town a character and independence all of its own.
Lisbon: The likeable capital is a relaxed port, overlooked by a ruined castled. Whitewashed, cobbled streets form a labyrinth upon a hill, populated by fantastic architecture, and Art Nouveau shops and cafes. A statue of Christ stands by the river, arms outstretched, surveying the grand suspension bridge and river ferries. Travellers should visit the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, the Manueline complex that houses the tomb of Vasco da Gama, and the Gulbenkian Museum, home to a superb art collection.
Porto: At the mouth of the Douro River, this atmospheric city of tangled tiers reaching up from the river's north bank has more to offer than simply its port-producing suburb of Vila Nova de Gaia. Spectacular bridges span the wide river, contemporary art is on display at the Fundação de Serralves, and the old town bustles beside its riverbanks.
Estremadura and Ribatejo: Just north of Lisbon, these regions are home to a number of delights. Surfers should head to the Atlantic rollers at Enceira, those interested in religion should visit Alcobaça's twelfth-century monastery and Fátima's famous shrine, while geologists will want to explore the Grutas de Mira de Aire - a vast and extraordinary cave system.
The Algarve: Long sandy beaches have brought mass tourist development to the area. The charms of the area may be overwhelmed, so it's best to skip the high season and the area from Faro to Albufeira.
Festivals: Carnival celebration is held in Lisbon in February or March
June: Santos Populares - 13th, 24th and 29th June. The celebration on 13th June is the largest, and all begin the previous evening. People hit each other over the head in the streets with plastic hammers.
July and August: Estoril Festival takes place in July and August
Activities and Sports
Casa Gaivota is ideally situated in an area blessed with many golf courses and for those who wish to travel a little further, there are over 20 prime courses to choose from, all within an hour's drive of Praia da Luz.
The most local courses to the villa are:
Boavista is only 3km away from the centre of Praia da Luz, This course poses a challenge for the more accomplished golfer.
Palmares one of the most scenic courses in the Algarve, is close to Lagos
Penina a championship course, is about 20 minutes drive away from Praia da Luz
Oceanico offer a range of courses from Arnold Palmer designed Oceanico Victoria course (home to the Portugal PGA Masters 2007-2009) and the Oceanico Faldo Course.
Other activities
The villa's location is a great base from which to go exploring; guided mountain bike tours and walks take you to many different places of interest in the region. Alternatively hire a bike and explore by yourself or with the family.
Less than 15 minutes drive away: Close to the villa you will find a beach, sailing, water skiing, boat hire, wind surfing, fishing, flying, walking, cycling, horse riding, golf, tennis, sports centre, museum, zoo, theatre / cinema, restaurants.
Shopping and Souvenirs
Leather goods copper, ceramics, embroidery and tapestry, cork products, porcelain and china, crystal and glassware.
With over 200km of coastline, as you would expect fish and seafood are a staple part of the diet for people of the Algarve. The traditional Portugese restaurants normally offer a large selection of fish dishes, one of which is almost certain to be grilled sardines. Also commonly on the menu are a range of omelettes, salads and some meat dishes. The prices are very reasonable, the food is good and the portions are generous. House wine, which is normally a local Portugese wine is very good value and very drinkable! On average a 2 course meal for 2, including house wine can cost less than €25. Obviously prices vary enormously depending on location.
As well as restaurants serving traditional Portugese food, the Algarve has a huge choice of restaurants serving food from across the world; Chinese, Indian, Italian and English being particularly popular. Thai, Mexican, Tapas and Vegetarian are also available.
Burgau and Praia da Luz have a good variety of restaurants, but the more traditional towns and villages will often just have a local Portugese restaurant or cafe serving food.

"Stunning home from home - well looked after and had everything you need."
We stayed in the house over New Year. It was fantastic. The house has 2 large double rooms, en-suite and 2 smaller rooms with twin beds. All rooms have large sliding wardrobes. There are plenty of fresh towels, there was even a bathrobe. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a family meal, which we had a the large dinning suite on New Years day.
We also had the log fire on at night, which was lovely.
There is a TV sith the full Sky package and lots of DVD;s to choose from. There are cupboards full of games and cards. Downstairs in the cupboard there were 2 bikes, which the kids enjoyed using when we walked to the village. The kids were easily entertained and they loved it.
The pool was great and the kids loved spending their mornings in it - although to cold for me! There was inflatables for them to play with and buckets and spades.
This house had really everything you could ask for from your own home.
Luz is gorgeous we have been many times as it is a really friendly, family resort, however we will definately stay at this house again as it was just superb.

Beckham fails to make Britain's Olympic squad
Giggs, fellow Welshman Craig Bellamy and English defender Micah Richards will be the overage players on the squad, a person familiar with the situation said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because team details haven't been released.
It appears Beckham lost his place to the 24-year-old Richards, who plays for Manchester City and will provide extra defensive cover after missing out on England's European Championship squad.
The 32-year-old Bellamy is a forward at Liverpool who, like Giggs and Richards, has never appeared at a major international football tournament.
Britain plays its opening match against Senegal at Old Trafford on July 26, faces the United Arab Emirates three days later at Wembley and Uruguay on Aug. 1 at the Millennium Stadium.
Britain has not fielded an Olympic soccer team since 1960 because Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland feared losing their independence within FIFA. The world body has assured the federations that their status won't be affected by participating in the 16-team competition at the London Games.

Valentino's 2010 Winter Olympic Run
View Single Post
Joined: Sep 2008
Location: Vankouver
Oddometer: 826
Riding North
No matter how early your day starts, there has to be good coffee involved.
I had to leave early because there are some travel restrictions on the Sea to Sky Highway, separating Vancouver from Whistler, after Squamish, about 2/3 of the way North, there is a check-point for the duration of the Olympic Games, and unless you have a permit, you can't go through between 0600 and 1800.
I don't need no stinking permit. Uhhh... actually I don't have one.
The bridge picture is not mine, but it's a nice one and it was my first bridge crossing of the day.
The Alex Fraser Bridge with Grouss Mountain in the far right.
0400 the streets are bare, and like a thief running with his loot, Valentino was running with the night. It was great to roam the city streets under the cover of city lights, sharing the road with only a few Prius-Cabbies.
Oak Street bridge from Richmond, to the Grandville bridge, to downtown and over to the Lions Gate bridge on the West-shore, heading North at full throttle.
I was not particularly concern with the conditions. There was no wind, it was cool but not cold and the road was dry but at night, the antlers come out, and that I don't like.
But they stayed in the woods and by 0525 I zoomed through Squamish, not a check-point in sight, "see doood I told you we don't need know stinking permit" says Valentino.
Not many pics during that stretch, for the obvious, it was night.
The temperature hovered around 0C, at times dipping to -4C and I was glad to have my heated vest, the only eery part of the ride was the way the road crews have organized the road.
The Sea to Sky highway, albeit controversial with local residents, environmentalists and three huggers alike, was mostly completed by the end of last summer, and transformed a relatively risky (especially if you were in a cage) road to a picturesque mostly-double-lane twisty highway sandwiched between mountain and sea.
Live CAM of Sea to Sky Highway at Furry Creek, BC.
So what I was saying about the lane splits, is that in order to organize the traffic during the game, it is diverted, on the single lanes stretches, into 3 made up lanes of fluorescent posts, that span both shoulder. At times it felt like I was back in Greece. The problem with the made up lanes is that they don't really follow the natural curvature of the road, well you know what that's like, and with Metallica piping in my ears and all those fluorescent- padded safety posts, it was just like being the star of a 3D game of Castle Wolfeinstein, with a lot less blood that is.
Welcome to Whistler.
Sorry about the focus, or lack thereof
Slightly better.
Thank God, Valentino was sporting a pair of highly technical night-vision goggles.
I got to the village, safely tucked ST for a couple of hours, it was now time to go hunt down some well deserve breakfast, and feel some of that Olympic Spirit.
Actually after paying 24.00 bucks for parking I was feeling it alright.
FEAR ===> False Expectation About Reality. GSA08
Work is just the time you have to spend between rides.

Labor/material costs for replacing toilet flange
I brought a plumber in to replace a toilet. I could do it myself (and have), but just had a baby and am pretty jammed up with that.
I supplied the new toilet. The plumber removed the old (which was easy, given the rotten bolts). He indicated the flange was broken and would need to be replaced. All told, he spent less than two hours on the project and charged me the following flat rates.
1. $260 for installing the toilet
2. $410 for replacing the flange
I'm stunned by the flange cost. Average this out to an hourly rate and i'm paying him lawyer fees. Is this too much for the flange.
The bathroom is on the ground floor on slab.
Thanks in advance.

Former Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia is the new favourite to take over as Albion manager.
Hyppia's odds were slashed to a best-price Evens today as the Seagulls hunt for a successor to Oscar Garcia.
The Finn was being quoted as odds-on with two bookies.
Hyypia was linked with the Albion job last month and is keen to get back into management.
He was dismissed by Bayer Leverkusen two months ago.
Albion spoke to contenders last week and the quest to replace Oscar is continuing.

To maintain "the sublime"
In the old sense.
from Ezra Pound – Hugh Selwyn Mauberley I (Life and Contacts) on Genius
The sublime "in the old sense" probobaly looked something like this…
That being noted, the speaker perhaps refers to Romanticism, which is known for tending toward "romanticized" depictions.
This is may also be a specific reference to Longinus' work, On the Sublime, a 1st-3rd c. Roman work—whose exact author is unknown. The text is about writing well and its effect, which hearkens back to an earlier period in rhetoric (in the Roman Republic, ancient Greece, etc.), which to the author was more pure (simple/powerful).

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The breakfast is superb. The only thing is the dormitory gets very hot. A fan and sheets instead/as well as duvets would be good.

I would highly recommend staying in Lou Souleou Bed and Breakfast when in Nice! It is a great central location and the breakfast on the porch overlooking the water every morning was one of my favorite parts of our trip. The staff is incredibly friendly and available to help you in any way you may need. They are very kind and helpful. The location is great and within walking distance to anything you could want in Nice! Would definitely stay there again!

My boyfriend and I just returned from our trip to Nice and had a fantastic time! Lou Souleou was the perfect place to stay. Right along the coast, so beautiful views when you're having your delicious breakfast in the morning. Also, the location was fantastic as it was close to EVERYTHING. Nice has a special place in my heart and we will definitely return and stay at Lou Souleou!

Angels stick with Scott Kazmir despite MLB-worst 6.92 ERA
Jul 15, 2010, 10:44 AM EDT
Scott Kazmir has the highest ERA in baseball among pitchers with at least 50 innings this season, allowing 71 earned runs in 92 frames for a ghastly 6.92 mark. In his final start of the first half Saturday he allowed a franchise-record 13 runs in five innings against an Oakland lineup that ranks among the AL's worst, making him 0-4 with a 13.72 ERA in his last four outings.
And despite all of that, the Angels are sticking with him in the rotation to begin the second half. Kazmir will start Tuesday against the Yankees in New York, which sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
Kazmir's struggles date back to last year, when he had a 5.92 ERA in 20 starts for the Rays and showed decreased velocity, averaging a career-low 90.5 miles per hour with his fastball. He pitched well in six starts down the stretch before struggling in the playoffs, but the Angels' decision to trade infielder Sean Rodriguez and pitching prospect Alex Torres for Kazmir was highly questionable at the time and looks downright terrible now.
Kazmir is making $8 million this season and is still owed $12 million next season plus $13.5 million or a $2.5 million buyout in 2012. Rodriguez has a decent .726 OPS as the Rays' part-time second baseman and Torres is thriving at Double-A as a 22-year-old. In other words, unless pitching coach Mike Butcher can work some kind of miracle with Kazmir the trade is only going to look worse and worse for the Angels.
- t ball - Jul 15, 2010 at 11:15 AM
As a Rangers fan I'm hoping they stick with Kazmir all the way.
- Gamboni Mafia - Jul 15, 2010 at 11:56 AM
As a Rays fan, I couldn't be any happier about this trade. At the time of the trade, I was disappointed for several reasons. He was the face of the franchise at the time. The ace of our staff for 3 years at that point. Seemingly starting to pitch better. A very tactful, humble, and highly respectful gentleman seemingly. When he left he wrote a letter that was published in the newspaper the following day saying how he loved living here and how the fans were so nice and how much he'd miss playing with the Rays. With that said I'm pretty shocked he's been pitching so terrible. I was hoping he'd bounce back and at least become a good contact pitcher. It seems there's no hope for poor Kaz.

He's definitely helping me get over the Zambrano trade.
- Simon DelMonte - Jul 15, 2010 at 1:43 PM
I never thought that was the worst trade ever made, or that Duquette – yes, it was Jim Duqutte and not Phillips by that point – really deserves to be raked over the coals for it. Clearly, people within the organization knew or suspected something about Kazmir. That doesn't mean that acquiring Zambrano was a smart move, but I appreciate why that move was made.
- Dan in Katonah - Jul 15, 2010 at 2:35 PM
Sorry, you are wrong. Maybe not as bad as sending Seaver away, but at the time: 1) they were out of the race, 2) trading away what was the crown jewel of the farm system; and 3) getting back a crappy pitcher who led the AL in walks 2 years running. Utterly and completely indefensible. Even if you did not want to keep him, get back something, anything of value. Obviously it was a pathetic Hail Mary by a GM listening with rose-colored glasses(?) to his pitching coach and trying to save his job with no regard for the team's future. And as Gamboni stated above, he was the ace of the Rays staff for 3 years afterwards.
Definitely the worst trade by the Mets in the last 20 years.
- frightwig - Jul 15, 2010 at 3:37 PM
Actually, the Mets missed out on 4 strong seasons by Kazmir (2005-08) before he started to decline–probably due to arm wear/injury. Even if they had some reason to suspect that he was likely to break down eventually, they really jumped the gun on getting rid of him, and of course they should have received better value in return even when they did deal him. He was one of the top prospects in the game at the time, wasn't he?

They also told me that everything was included to install it, but they did not include the adhesive, they lost the order via ups and never notified me.

A look at a company that changed the world
The grandma check is a cherished tradition
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Less than six years ago, Wireless Giant and Research In Motion
) had an idea. Together they would build an empire of BlackBerry
retail outlets.
Similar to the Apple Store (NASDAQ:
) concept, BlackBerry stores would focus exclusively on selling
products produced by Research In Motion.
This was an unusual initiative for the manufacturer, which had
successfully sold BlackBerry handsets through a number of kiosks
and stores owned by Sprint (NYSE:
) and Verizon (NYSE:
), among other carriers and retailers.
If it had not been for Apple, which completely transformed the
cellular device market with the release of the first iPhone,
there might be dozens or hundreds of BlackBerry stores all over
Without any domestic stores to rely on, BlackBerry devices
have been forced to compete against annual iPhone upgrades and an
overwhelming number of Android devices. Samsung, which was once
famous for its high-end TVs, has risen to the top of smartphone
manufacturers. If it weren't for Nokia (NYSE:
), which still produces
an enormous amount of cellular devices
, Samsung would be the leader of feature ("dumb") phones as
Nokia has ran into some trouble, however. Last year some
AT&T stores
decided not to carry or promote
the Lumia 900.
That event was a clear reminder of the world smartphone makers
are competing in -- a world that is owned by Android and iOS.
This has made it very difficult for newcomers like Microsoft's
) Windows Phone and golden oldies like BlackBerry to gain a
significant portion of the market.
Where does this leave Research In Motion? The company has yet
to roll out its full marketing campaign for BlackBerry 10, so it
is not yet clear how far the device will go. While there is
very little interest
in the product at the former BlackBerry store in Farmington
Hills, MI (the only one of its kind; it closed and reopened as a
repair shop last October), BlackBerry 10 has been receiving an
excessive amount of attention
from the mainstream press.
BlackBerry 10 searches are also heating up on Google (NASDAQ:
). A search for "BlackBerry 10" retrieves more than
one billion results
. Comparatively, a search for "iOS 6" -- the latest version of
Apple's mobile operating system -- retrieves only
500 million results
. A search for "iOS 7," which has yet to be announced, currently
590 million results
When searching for "Android Jelly Bean," the latest version of
Google's own mobile OS, Google.com retrieves a mere
63.5 million results
To be fair, the search for "BlackBerry 10" may also include
results for "blackberries," the nutritious berry that inspired
the smartphone's name. By that same token, a search for "iOS 6"
may include results relating to every version if iOS.
On its
, Research In Motion has posted a teaser for BlackBerry 10,
promising a product that is "re-designed, re-engineered [and]

For now, this strategy -- along with the promise of a massive
comeback -- seems to be resonating with investors. Research In

Data Entry, Customer Service, Administrative Experience
United States - Last active: 04/28/2014 - Tests: 6 - Portfolio: 1
Fast and efficient in all of my projects, I have a typing skill of 70 wpm and knowlege in data entry and customer service. I have spent the last 7 years in customer service specific roles to which I took inbound calls from customers not only as a first level of assistance but also aided my supervisors by taking calls from escalated customers, in which I was able to calm the customer and find solutions to their questions or concerns. I have assisted in large data entry projects to which I handled a sreadsheet of about 5000 accounts/customers to which I had to review their balance status' and confirm if a credit back to the customer is due. Most recently I've worked for a property and casualty insurance company in my local city handling administrative tasks by backing up the agents in my office as well as being a licensed sales producer myself. I would assist the office by handling all inbound calls as well as maintaining outbound calls when necessary by assisting agents with sales calls, setting up appointments, following up on claims, and confirming overall customer satisfaction. I would take payments as well as help file documents or paperwork caused by making changes to a customer's existing service. I was responsible for making sure that the customers' call was directed as appropriately and efficiently as possible. I would assist the agent's with scheduling appointments with their customers as well as getting information mailed out or emailed to the appropriate customers per their request. In addition to my customer service and data entry skills, I have experience in Microsoft products such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook. My goal is to become a primary asset to your company by utilizing my advanced skills to both of our advantages.

There is an old saying, "Jack of All Trades, Master of None, is Oftentimes better than a master of one…" From its full application, this quote justifies the diverse talents that I posses from all the jobs I have worked on, both online and offline. My professional career started as a Partner of a small restaurant in the Philippines wherein I was able to utilize my management & accounting skills. I learned how to handle people and manage budget in order to properly run the business and maintain profitability. When we decided to liquidate the business, I got an opportunity in the Call Center Industry where I started as an ordinary associate moving my way up to management position, here I learned all kinds of BPO processes from sales, lead generation, customer and technical support, appointment setting, and market surveys. Then my career path took a different turn when I went overseas and I worked in a Construction company as a Plant Supervisor. Here I learned many things, from Administration, to HR (timekeeping & payroll), IT functions, and Database Management. Then... I saw oDesk! And from this point, I maximized and applied all my inherited skills from my diverse work experiences, BUT, at the same time I kept enjoying my pursuit to excellence not relating to any material gain. All while finding the few things that I knew I am truly suited to dominate. And one of my Dominating Talents is on the field of Content Moderation. My objective to my employer/s is to provide Administrative and/or Business service that is relevant to my previous work experiences. To be as productive and as proactive as possible while learning new things from colleagues and the job itself. My Scope of Knowledge and Core Capabilities are: - I Excel in the field of Content and Forum Moderation - PROJECT MANAGEMENT & ADMINISTRATION: Recruitment (Initial and Final Screening), HR duties, Payroll and Timekeeping, KPI Evaluation, & Operations Management - BUSINESS SUPPORT SERVICE: Content Moderation, Web Content Management, Database Administration, Document Control, Web Research, Market Research, Designing and Presentations - BPO SERVICE: Appointment Setting, Lead Generation, Customer Service, Sales, Tech Support, & Surveys I am experienced and proficiently utilizing the following Software and System: - Windows 7, Vista, & XP - Microsoft Office Suite 2003 & 2007 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, One Note, Access, Outlook) - MS Project 2003, 2007, & 2010 - Adobe InDesign - Adobe Photoshop - Nero Media Suites - Citrix ACCPAC & Summit AEC (Accounting & Payroll Software) - Aconex, Newforma, Autodesk Constructware (Document Management System) - Concerto Ensemble Pro CRM - Timepaq & Ramesys Solutions ETCi (Timekeeping & Accounting Software) My IT skills revolve around general troubleshooting and installation of computer software and hardware. Aside from these skills, I can easily adapt to any system that needs to be utilized to get the job done. These are my capabilities and services that I can offer and I am continuously educating myself and enhancing my knowledge on tools that would help me on diverse aspects. So hire me!.....

I am seeking opportunities to have any contract with Odesk in order to enhance my skills and gather more experience in this field. I have worked in the capacity of a Secretary for more than 6 years. I have handled job positions like Front Desk Clerk, Administrator, Guest Service Assistant and Coordinator. I also had the opportunity of working in a Hospitality Industry in United Arab Emirates. I am very hard-working, a fast learner and able to meet deadlines. I would like to contribute and share my knowledge to the company I'll be working with.
