Granito de Oro is located in the Pacific Ocean, south of the province of Veraguas. The island is within the 270,125-hectare area of Coiba National Park that protects marine, coastal, and island ecosystems and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005. Within this park are the insular areas (153,582 hectares) of Coiba Island, Ranchería (Coibita) Jicarón, Jicarita, Afuerita, Canal de Afuera, Uvas, Contreras, and Brincanco, as well as marine areas (216,543 hectares), making it one of the largest marine parks in the world.
How to arrive
To reach Coiba National Park island and visit the Granito de Oro islet, you must first travel to Port Mutis. On the boat ride over to the island you will go on an impressive tour of the beautiful Gulf of Montijo Wetland, observing its coastal and marine flora and fauna around the Gulf islands of Leones, Cébaco, and Gobernadora.
It can also be reached by travelling to Hicaco, Santa Catalina, and Playa Arrimadero in Madre Vieja, although on these routes you will not be able to observe the beauty of the Gulf of Montijo.
- Plane: A flight from Panama City to the city of Santiago takes approximately 20 minutes.
- Car: It is a 5 hour drive (245 kilometers). Once in Santiago, take the highway to either Puerto Mutis (25 km) or Santa Catalina to board a boat and sail to the island.
What to bring
- Water bottle
- Swimsuit
- Sunscreen
- Insect repellent
- Snorkeling gear
- Hiking in Coiba National Park
- Visit to the former penal colony
- Soak in the hot springs
- Whale watching (June to October)
- Dolphin watching (year-round)

A versatile, lightweight, quick-drying nylon cap designed for fishing or any hot-weather activity.
Lacking fur, feathers or scales, we humans have to think up clever ways to protect ourselves from the sun. Products with the UPF designation provide built-in sun protection that won't wear off.
UPF stands for "Ultraviolet Protection Factor." This value represents the fractional amount of the sun's harmful UV rays that pass through a fabric. A rating of "25" indicates that only 1/25th , or 4% of the UV rays pass through the garment.
Patagonia products with rated UPF protection are tested independently to meet Australia/New Zealand or AATCC protocols. A rating of 15-24 earns a product a rating of "good"; a rating of 25-39 is "very good"; and a rating of 40-50+ is "excellent."*
* When tested in accordance with Australian/New Zealand test methods AS/NZS 4399 or USA test methods AATCC 183/ASTM D6603/ASTM D6544.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.

Jed Perkins, a gas fitter from Millstadt, Illinois, worked hard all his life so he could have all the things a gearhead could ever want. He a nice home out in the country, a great spouse who supports his automotive obsession, a massive man cave stuffed full of awesome vehicles, and the biggest friggin' swing set we have ever seen.
Having owned multiple types of muscle cars from Camaros to even a Hemi-powered Mopar, Jed decided to look for a Chevelle in the '68-'69 vintage. Being from a rust-belt area, he looked to the Internet for a rust-free car. Jed spotted just what he wanted in the way of a clean, black '68 Chevelle drag car. It looked good and was priced reasonably, so Jed took a leap of faith and bought the car just from the pictures and it wasn't until Jed got the car home and gave it a closer inspection did he realize there was a little smoke and mirrors going on. There were definite signs the Chevelle was in a major accident, and once it was media blasted did Jed fully understand how serious the damage was.
From what he could tell, the car must have slid sideways and smacked into a tree or telephone pole right at the front of the passenger-side rear quarter. It was repaired, but in a very odd sort of way. You see, the car was sectioned back together but along a diagonal line from side to side instead of full panels like it should have been. Also, the new roof skin just sat on top of the old skin in certain places, the seams smoothed over with loads of body filler. Instead of sitting back and crying over spilled milk, Jed sucked it up and decided to take on the task of building the car to his standards.
As we stated before, Jed had the body media blasted, but not before he tore the entire car down to bare bones. The sheetmetal surgery started shortly after he got the body back, Jed making quick work of getting the shell back to a blockable state. He then put the body on the chassis and shipped the unit off to Mike Larabell of Larabell Race Cars in Eureka, Missouri. Mike took on the job of reworking the factory frame, adding a new back half that seamlessly flows into the stock 'rails. This allowed Mike to hang a new rear suspension system he created from scratch. Larabell used chromoly tubing and made up new 37-inch ladder bars with a wishbone upper link. A few crossmembers were added as well to hold the Alden coilovers in the proper position. A set of wide 15x12 Weld Alumastars with Mickey Thompson 315 drag radials were strapped on for daily use, with a full set of slicks at the ready for serious track duty.
Mike moved forward and reconfigured the front crossmember to add clearance for the new Canton oil pan that was to come. A set of Global West tubular control arms combined with a set of Moroso Trick-Springs and Koni shocks round out the front suspension. To compliment the rear rims, Jed picked up a set of 15-inch Bogart Force-5 rims and wrapped them with another set of Mickey Thompson 28x7.5 tires. To make sure the car will actually stop, a complete Wilwood brake system was employed with 11-inch rotors and four-piston calipers set at each corner.
On top of the frame Mike also cut, bent, and welded up a 12-point cage certified to 8.50, with a funny car-style window net and removable parachute set up. With all the tubes in place, Mike finished up by creating an entirely new floor and wheeltubs for the car out of 24-gauge steel. He even added bead rolled details that flow with the bars and other items on the car. Not only is the floor steel and full of style, it's also raised up in the car, allowing for more exhaust clearance, but not so high the seat position becomes an issue. While this was just a paragraph worth of information, it did take some time fabricating.

Kosher Side Dishes
|Vegetables Osso Buco
by Chef Laura Frankel, LaurasKosherKitchen.com
Osso Buco or OssoBuco is a Milanese specialty that means "bone with a hole" which references the cross cut shank bone. I absolutely love Osso Buco and have made the dish so many times; I could do it in my sleep. I especially love the bright flavor of the gremolata or citrus relish that clears your palate and gets you ready for the next bite of the heavenly dish. I thought a fun variation would be to take all the flavors of Osso Buco and do a lighter dish with vegetables slow cooked in white wine and serve it as a side for my Italian Fall feast menu.
Extra virgin olive oil
Citrus and Pistachio Gremolata (see recipe below)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Heat a large Dutch oven, lightly coated with olive oil. Brown the parsnips, carrots, celery root and sweet potatoes, in batches, adding more oil as necessary. Set aside the vegetables.
Add the onions to the pan and cook them until they caramelized and brown. Add the garlic and continue cooking until the garlic has softened.
Add all the ingredients to the pan. Cover and cook in the preheated oven until the vegetables have softened (can be pierced with a fork) but still hold their shape.
Remove the thyme and rosemary sprigs and discard. Strain out the braising liquid and reduce it by 1/2 until a thick glaze forms.
Arrange the vegetables on a platter and pour the sauce over it. Sprinkle with Citrus and Pistachio Gremolata and serve over Pumpkin Risotto.
Citrus and Pistachio Gremolata
2 oranges, zested and juiced
Pulse all of the ingredients in a food processor to form a loose paste. The Gremolata can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Yield: Serves 6-8 as a side dish
Recipes: Side Dishes,Vetetables, Parve or Meat, Kosher

A Dog Covered in Bees (Oct 23rd)
The skies were overcast, but it did not seem too likely to rain, so we decided to go on a day trip to a nearby forest called the Nelder Grove to enjoy a nice walk. Feeling sorry for lonely Pepper, trapped outside and in the hallway the previous day, we decided to take him with us. He could probably use the exercise anyways.
It was paved most of the way there, but there were some gentle dirt roads near the end. Pepper was SO EXCITED to be out of the house! I didn't know an older border collie could pull that hard! We decided to just let him off the leash, and he busied himself with sniffing and urinating on all the forest had to offer. Luckily, he never strayed too far. At one point he dove right into an ice-cold creek for a drink.
The Grove had a lot of great trees, lots of sugar pine and huge sequoias. Ramsey works as a Yosemite park ranger, so he was able to tell us more about our surroundings than the interpretive signs. There was a lot of "what's this plant?"
My mother collects heart-shaped stuff, so I tried to get a photo of this vaguely heart-shaped stump, but it was pointed out to me that it kind of looks like a butt in this photo. Thanks for that.
Some of the trees were HUGE. If you've ever seen a sequoia in person, you know what I mean. These weren't even as big as they can get, I've seen some elsewhere that were large enough that you could drive a car through them. We had to take dorky pictures of ourselves in front of it, of course. I love Ramsey's ridiculous poses.
We enjoyed the peaceful environment, and I busied myself with photographing the different bark textures. I think that the visual depth provided by texture is one of the things missing from a lot of human-made environments, in nature almost nothing is flat and straight. There are little things to discover wherever you look.
I think this is a ponderosa pine?
Suddenly, the dog tore past us at full tilt, only to come to an abrupt stop, and began chewing on his hindquarters. Once we convinced him to hold still for us, we noticed a number of yellowjackets crawling around in his matted fur, on his rump and behind his ears. Ramsey is deathly allergic to bees, so our tactic for bee removal consisted of poking the dog with a stick until yellowjackets came out, and then running like mad. We did this a few more times until we found the creek again and coaxed/shoved the dog into the water, splashing and dousing him. More bees emerged and we ran for it.
Eventually, we got to the car and toweled the dog off, swatting at a few bees. We hoped that we had gotten them all out, but weren't particularly optimistic. Ramsey was driving, and I briefly considered the possibility of him going into anaphylactic shock behind the wheel as the dog hopped up on the towel-covered backseat beside me. I pointed his rump toward the open window and we were underway. Twice we had to stop due to bees crawling around in his fur. Thankfully, nobody was stung, and we arrived home safely. A final bee emerged as we left the car and repeatedly tried to sting the weatherstripping around the window before flying off.
We had decided that the best course of action was to give the dog a bath. His matted, greasy fur was the source of the problem and it seemed to have been a while since his last one. I opened the bathroom window to give any stray bees a target and we set to work, armed with thick rubber gloves and the least-toxic human shampoo we could find. During the bath, two more bees worked their way free and made for the window. I'd like to say that we retained our composure, but the response was mostly "AUGH! BEE!" and running for the door. We found three dead in the water, and I found another dead while brushing the dog's tail. Frustrated by the dog's poor grooming, I brushed him for an hour or so, working out all the mats that I could find, and cutting out a few around an open wound on his leg which had been there for some time. These were likely stopping it from forming a proper scab.
Pepper seemed happy that his adventure was over and looked like a much younger (and better-smelling) dog at the end of the day. We gave him lots of love. Aww.

Yosemite! (Oct 24th)
Ramsey decided to give us a guided tour of his park. Awesome! We piled in the car, and after a brief side trip to some local thrift stores, we were underway. It was nice to be able to sit back and enjoy the scenery as a passenger, free from the frustrations of the road, but I'll admit that a part of me missed it too. We pulled up to the gate, and it turns out that my annual pass is valid regardless of what vehicle I'm in, so we all got in for free! Score!
First up was another stop by Tunnel View. It was a bit overcast, but I feel that it adds to the scenery. There were far fewer tourists than usual, perhaps frightened off by the recent bad weather. A new dusting of snow covered the mountaintops.
We discovered that Bridalveil Fall was nothing more than a trickle, due to it being so late in the season.
Continuing our private tour, Ramsey took us to another spot that he felt was scenic. We agreed! This is El Capitan. With all of this surreal, majestic scenery in every direction, even a mediocre photo still comes out looking good.
This stream was very soothing, and we enjoyed the view for a few minutes. I found a duck, and followed it for a bit, but couldn't get the photo to come out.
I'd have to make do with some ravens instead! They were more patient with me.
We left the car for another vista, this time of Half Dome. People climb this, and in fact, climb most of the terrifying large mountains around here. Some things I will never understand.
We made our way to the Yosemite museum, grabbing overpriced hot coffee and cookies from one of the stores. So very many tchotchkes for sale. It struck me that with the crowds, the "lines" while hiking, flush toilets, the overpriced souvenirs, this was basically like Disneyland for nature lovers. Ramsey told us some pretty good stories about the idiocy of some of the visitors here, who get lulled into a false sense of security and don't use common sense. People dehydrated after multi-hour hikes because they didn't think they needed to bring water, people heading out on miles of difficult terrain an hour before dark or in a bad storm, that sort of thing.
Inside the Indian Cultural Exhibit, there was an Indian! I'd never seen one before. I also liked the sign above it with the park tolls, back in the day.
After an awesome flute performance by one of the museum workers, displaying native american flute styles, we wandered out back to the "indian village", a collection of structures which would have been found at a traditional Paiute/Miwok village, before white settlers took over the area. I have an affinity for native cultures, but I hate seeming like a "cultural tourist", so I enjoy things like this which I can use to learn about their history and culture without feeling like my ignorance is offensive.
The purpose of this one isn't immediately obvious, but nonetheless important: it's an acorn granary! I found this fascinating, because most of the time I associate granaries with agriculture. Given the critical nature of acorns as a staple part of their diet, it makes sense that they would find a way to preserve them. The inner cavity is lined with wormwood to deter pests.
Next up was a bark house. The informational sign mentioned that prior to the arrival of lumber operations, cedar bark was not used as commonly, as it was more difficult to obtain. Most of the structures were built out of brush instead.
The sign reads "This is the ceremonial roundhouse, or hangie, the center of village religious activity. Because this house is being used the old way, we ask that you stay behind the barrier and off the roof. Thank you." Behind the roundhouse was a sweathouse, traditionally heated by an oak-wood fire, and used primarily to help hunters mask their scent and for curative purposes. The sweathouse too, had a sign stating that it was still being used for traditional purposes. With so much incense cedar involved in their construction, I bet these buildings smell amazing when heated with a fire.
After getting our fill of culture, we went for a walk in the woods. There weren't many other people, so it was quite peaceful, listening to the birds in the trees and just soaking in the environment.
The path wound around large, moss-covered boulders strewn across the hillside. I thought they looked neat in the dappled light.
Eventually we found our way to Yosemite Falls, which is not nearly as impressive without most of its water.
I busied myself with trying to use an acorn top to make an annoyingly high-pitched whistle sound as we wandered along. Ramsey saw this large rock and decided to try to climb it.
As sunset approached, the deer came out to feed. They were fairly used to humans, but this fawn wasn't sure how to deal with it, running back and forth before finally joining its mother on the other side of the walkway. So cute.
Eventually we found our way to the car and ventured back to Oakhurst. Overall, even though Yosemite was very "touristy", I had a great time, and I'm glad I went. The views are second to none, and I can definitely see why Ramsey has chosen to work there the past few years. It's a few too many people for my tastes, though I suppose I shouldn't judge it based upon what was easy to access. There are some places where you can go backpacking for a week, and Ramsey didn't mention having any issues with finding solitude.
I had gotten an offer from an ADVRider named Pete, to join him and his buddy Nip in Lone Pine as they explored Death Valley. Unable to pass up this adventure, I decided to leave the next day for Fresno and head around Lake Isabella, not wanting to tempt fate by taking Tioga Pass again. Ramsey gave me a present - a nice compression sack for my clothes and sleeping bag, that he no longer needed, as well as a couple of small military bags to replace the easily-ripped plastic grocery ones I'd been using to keep my stuff organized. Thanks man!

Great to see you out and about Feyala, I wish we had the wide and open spaces over here but this is a small and crowded island. Having said that there are still a few places you can get to by bike and enjoy the silence

So! From an initial view of the X-ray on Thursday, it appears that the bone is healing! A line of bright white appears where there was a slight gap before. I go in for a viewing on a larger screen on Monday, just so we can look it over and make sure we didn't miss anything (also because I am sure he wants to get another visit out of me, but whatever).
For me, this is great news! I didn't think it would go otherwise, I tend to be pretty resilient, but you just never know. If after a month it had not been knitting together, I would have had to go see a Real Doctor for hardware installation and/or whatever else they wanted and that would have been $$$. As it is, I've gotten off relatively cheap so far.
I will do some replies today but I think I will avoid furthering the healthcare debate until I get to that point in the story. I need to get my butt in gear and do the death valley entries too.

Yeah, I made the mistake of showing up with a dreadlocked (canadian) friend of mine and a few too many things in the backseat and got the third degree. Lots of two week visas. Someday when I have time and a bit more money I'll try it again, they seem to be fine if you have enough of a bankroll, and there's always the "visiting Alaska" excuse. The Sunshine Coast was worth the hassle though, I enjoyed Desolation Sound.
I've had this set of tires on since Hells Canyon and the front is still going strong. I need to replace the rear (nearly bald now), but it's been thousands of miles, I figure it'd be due regardless of pressure. I am running this in front and this in the rear.
I'm not worried about exploding tubes. I have a high concern about getting a flat from the tube getting wear, whether that's due to heat or friction or whatever else, I've seen it before and would prefer to avoid it. I realize that at anything over 20psi this is not likely to happen, but it's what's kept me from lowering it further to conquer sand. The ultimate solution is going to be making it easier to use my compressor so I won't even have to worry about it and be able to use the pressure the situation calls for, adjusting as necessary.
The only concern I have with this plan is finances, I can camp for free in the US, but I'm still a bit iffy about camping solo in Mexico, especially as a lady (not that I'd be cavalier if I were a dude, but. Yeah.) I need to find people that actually have camped in mexico (either baja or mainland) and whether they had/heard of others having problems, would recommend it and such. If I do need to stay in hostels, I need to figure out realistically what this venture would cost before I set out. If it's outside my budget I'll probably troll around the southwest for the winter, or maybe try to make some money so I can afford it, I don't know. My plans are pretty fluid..

I would say give or take around $500, but I'd have to dig down and do monthly averages to get a solid number. My main expenses are food and gas, (insurance is paid out through next June), and I occasionally spend money on tracfone minutes, fast food, bike parts, equipment, etc. Those occasional purchases are what make it hard for me to nail down a real number, as shit happens and I find myself with unexpected expenses quite frequently. I am sorry I don't have a more concrete answer, but the truth is I don't really know how long my money is going to last in any absolute fashion.
My budgeting is a bit unconventional. My simple rule of thumb is "try to spend as little money as you can get away with". Sometimes I'll do my finances at the end of the month and see that I've spent more than I'd like on luxuries, and I keep that in mind the next time I want something special. This isn't to say that I never indulge, but I try to keep it to a minimum, that way if I find the perfect gift for a loved one, or need to spend money on an entry fee into something really cool, I don't feel too bad about it, and I don't miss out because it's not "in the budget". The biggest questions are "Is this necessary? Can I get by without this?" and "How sad will I be if I don't buy/do this? Will I regret it later?" It isn't doing something luxurious once that's going to kill your budget, it's doing luxurious things frequently, or having a high base cost of living.
Here are my tips for reducing the overall cost of the trip, not counting those luxury moments.
1) I don't factor in gasoline. It's going to cost what it costs, and there's nothing you can do about it other than not ride (and what's the fun in that?). My bike gets over 50 mpg, sometimes as much as 60, so even though it is the largest expense in a given day, it is still fairly minimal. In a 300 mile day, I'm spending ~$20 on gas. Obviously if I were doing this every day, it would add up fast, but that brings me to...
2) Stop and explore. When you're done with your trip, which do you remember more? The dozens of hours you spent on the freeway, trying not to be bored to tears, or that cool roadside attraction you stopped at, the people you met, the scenery you admired? Unless the road is REALLY fun, most of our memories come from the places we stop at. Even the boring parts of the country have neat things hidden off the beaten path, find them! I find that stopping to take pictures for the ride report leads me to stop at some places I otherwise might not have, and that's a good thing! Slow down. It's easy for me to say this because I don't have any deadlines, but even if you do, consider that a week spent exploring a small area, if it's a good one, will be more memorable and less stressful than a week spent barreling along just to say you've done x number of states. It's cheaper too.
3) Camping. I've never tried this in the northeast, but you pretty much can't throw a rock in the western half of the country without finding Forest Service or BLM land, both of which allow distributed camping for free for the most part. National parks don't allow this, but I'm sure you could probably get away with it if you were the least bit stealthy. My technique, when I can't find something at freecampsites.net or any of the other free camping sites out there, is to get to national forest land, take the first dirt road off of that, and then a dirt offshoot from there. Works almost every time, as long as there isn't private property interspersed in with the forest. In small towns, ask the locals where a good spot to camp for free is, in gas stations particularly. I've asked forest service and fire service people that I happened to find. Just say that you're on a tight budget and would really prefer not to spend money just to sleep. There's also the Tent Space Map, which is incredibly useful, but I don't like to be a mooch, so I just camp for the most part. I really can't emphasize this one enough, if I had to pay to sleep, at $50 a night, I probably wouldn't be able to travel like this. A month would be over $1500.
4) Eating out will make your money fly out of your wallet so fast that you'll get whiplash watching it go. The "dollar menu" might seem like a good deal, but it adds up quickly, especially as fast food doesn't contain many nutrients and does not satisfy for long. I usually avoid restaurants unless it's a special occasion, I'm very wet/tired/cold, or REALLY good food. Sometimes I am guilty of getting snacks from gas stations, but this too is a practice I try to limit. Learn to cook on the road, and buy ingredients at a grocery store. If you can't make it yourself, canned soups are a good choice, relatively inexpensive (less than $3). Troll the grocery store's day-old bread rack for goodies. If you're going through a decently-sized town, look for discount food stores (Grocery Outlet), places like Winco with a bulk foods section are great (especially for trail mix or grains), farmer's markets (decently priced produce), or ethnic markets (asian/hispanic stores have some good deals). Aim for fruit and veg, hard goods, pastas, beans, sauce mixes in bulk, oats for oatmeal or barley for your soup. I avoid boxed meals, they tend to be more expensive than buying the ingredients and making it myself, and tend to include a lot of preservatives and other crap I don't want or need in my diet. This is a good tip for not being on the road too, I might add, if you eat fast food once a day, you're throwing something like $50 a week in the trash. I spend less than $10 a day on food. It's usually dried fruits/nuts for breakfast, and pasta/soup for dinner. Foods like hummus will keep for a surprisingly long time outside of refrigeration. Cooking this way can take more time, but you'll be eating healthier than if you ate prepared meals the entire trip too.
5) I have a tracfone because $14 for the phone and $20-30 every 3 months for minutes is far cheaper for me than a phone plan. My droid is not connected to the network, because I don't want recurring bills for data coverage. I find free wifi instead. Places that have free wifi include almost any hotel/motel, all mcdonalds, all starbucks (and most coffee shops in general), some subways, many public libraries, barnes and noble, and some downtown "shopping areas". If I am in a commercial business I try to purchase something small and cheap (like a coffee), because I feel I need to give back if I am going to use up their space for hours, but I have been told by employees that they don't care if I sit there with a glass of water and don't buy a thing.
6) Thrift stores are great for clothing. Bonus: I don't have to break in new clothes! I tend to use clothing until it falls to shreds so this is not much of an issue.
7) I really recommend the all parks pass if you have the slightest interest in nature/the outdoors and are planning on being on the road for a while. I've seen so many great things that I would have missed due to not wanting to pay the $20 entry fee.
8) If you can find them, pawn shops and hispanic/flea markets are a great place for cheap tools. I've bought a replacement socket for less than a dollar at one of those markets before. Used ratchet still works the same...
9) Craigslist can net you some decent used camping gear. Sometimes you can barter or talk people down, if that's your style. I have no complaints about that tent yet!
Overall, I use a lot of the same strategies when I am stationary, so many of these things are second nature to me. Depending on if your trip is more of a "vacation" or a "lifestyle", you'll need to adjust things on the frugal meter accordingly. I would probably spend less time cooking or worrying about finding a place to camp if I had a fat bankroll and a steady job to return to, but it would be a far different experience.
Thanks yet again for the netbook! I spent today partitioning and formatting it for a dual boot (XP/Bodhi linux). It works a treat so far! It'll make getting this RR up and running on the road a breeze, I think.

Sand riding is very tough no matter what pressure. But low pressure is better than high. Sounds to me like you did VERY GOOD off road.
I've been going to Mexico since age 14. Dozens of trips: buses, trains, motorcycle and VW Van. Rarely camp but you CAN do it safely if you pick your spots ahead. Random "wild camping" solo could pose risks in certain situations.
I spent 7 years living, working and traveling all through Latin America.
Did two years in the Antarctic, based out of Argentina. (USARP). Lived in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Argentina.
Baja is not cheap (as mentioned earlier) and it's full of Gringos. But its still a magic place like no other. Mainland Mex is another world; Fewer Gringos, less English, about 1/2 the price for motels. Gas is about $3.20 a gallon nationwide. Moving costs money. To save money, once you find a "garden of Eden" type place, rent something, hang for a while. Your expenses will fall to almost nothing. Great place to Winter ... I've done it.
All the best getting healed and getting your DR back on the road.

And occasionally when I haven't been able to find a track off the road I have been on, I have stopped at a small farm holding and just asked if I could camp off to one side of their property. Never been refused.
Bottom line for 'rough' camping, if no one knows you are there, you can't have a problem.

The BSE scrapie discriminatory kit for strain typing of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in small ruminants has been developed to discriminate BSE from scrapie and to confirm atypical scrapie strains.
Discrimination between BSE and scrapie is based on the partial resistance of BSE-infected samples to proteinase K treatment. Comparison between confirmation assay results and discriminatory assay results is possible since the protocol of the discriminatory assay has been directly adapted from the TeSeE WESTERN BLOT assay (Catalog #: 355-1169).

According to WTVR, an error on the city's part meant Bagby was never notified that the city was charging her for payments she said she paid, and they say they never received.

"Works for Mine"
I have three horses that have used this product in original form and now the gel. I just mixed a little less than 1/2 cup of plain applesauce with it stir it good and mix it with small amount of their grain and they eat all of it ; will continue using it
The new gel is horrible they spit it out. What a mess. such a shame they have to mess with a proven good thing.
"Gel wormer is not good"
I have bought Jeffers ivermectin for years. The new gel is not good. I have multiple horses who can spit it out. Horses who have never offered to spit out wormer spit this out. So having to buy 2 wormers to get one horse wormed is not a good plan. Now I can't tell if they are getting the wormer swallowed or not. This is not a step forward.
"Syringe too long for someone with small hands+"
My horses and I like the new gel. The syringe seems longer than the old one. I have small hands and it is difficult to use for 2 of my 9 horses who hate to be wormed.
"new gel formula is a step backwards"
The only complaint I have is new gel doesn't stick. I did two horses and both spit it out. It was a waste of time and money. I will not purchase this product, in the gel form again.
I have many horses, big, and the miniatures, plus have foals now and then, have used this wormer for years with good results. What I do is have the grain in the can add the wormer and mix it good-then pour into the feed bucket and they eat it all gone.As I had some horses that did not like it in the mouth,so I do it this way and no problem--had horses over 45 years. good luck
"Babies with worms. "
If anyone complained that it did not get worms in a baby, then you need to do your research. For babies, you do not depend on Ivermectin of ANY type, you need a Pyrantel Pamoate, or one of the other types to get roundworms. Roundworms after a horse turns a certain age do not live well in a horse (of course if they are encysted that is another story) but thrive in babies. Roundworms do not kill well with ANY ivermectin so I do my babies with Exodus, or a pyrantel pamoate product and do a full tube for a weanling and no problem. Then in the fall after the first killing frost I use Ivermectin. But a baby can die from roundworms if you depend on Ivermectin! Different wormers are better for different things. IE not all wormers get Tape worm.... treat with the correct wormer.
"Always Good!"
Always good! Saves us $$! Works great! And always the BEST service and SUPER fast shipping. We LOVE Jeffers!
"happy customer"
I have used Jeffers brand Ivermectin for more than 20 years with NO complaint. The medication is the same - read the label or ask you Vet. I like the smaller tube, easier to carry in my pocket.
"Works just fine"
I asked my husband about the plunger, as he used 2 of these yesterday on our TWHs. He said they initially do work hard, but once you get them going they work just fine.
"horrible design "
I am not disputing the effectiveness of the medication but the design of the plunger itself is terrible. None of my horses like taking their wormer. It's an argument at best and a down right brawl at times. When I finally did get the tip in their mouths, it didn't want to squirt the wormer out quickly and it took me several times before they got the proper dose. I've used other brands with none of these issues. I'd rather pay more for a product that doesn't irritate me and my horses so much.
"Info source"
"I question those reviews that state this is a weak form of Ivermectin. It has the same amt of active ingredient as the ""big name"" compounds. Also the last time I checked with my Vet there is no resistance buildup to this product. Perhaps Jefferswould have something to say in this regard. A foal showing the high infestation as described by one user would scare me silly. Best check your husbandry."
"Ivermectin 1.87%"
Ivermectin is not a weak wormer for horses when using properly. All wormers kill the worm but not the eggs. If you would follow up with Exodus (same as Strongid, cheaper)on the 18th day after worming with ivermec you will see a hugh difference in your horse. Day 18, all eggs hatched, none in system. day 19 you again have eggs. I rescue horses and start with safeguard when I first get animal, as worms are always positive, but I fear for the amt of so this will keep them from colicing on the amount of kill. 1 week later I do the Ivomec, 18 days the Exodus. 30-days later i do a cheap wormer. i am then good til the weather changes and start all over again
"Good only in rotation"
I use this wormer alot because it's cheap and I don't have a huge worm problem with my horses. The brand is fine, but the active ingredient is very weak. In my experience it is only good for maintaining a horse with few/no worms. It is much less effective on horses with major worm infestations because ivermectin is so over used, that many worms develop immunity. Again though, it's great to use in rotation with more effective wormers just to keep a non-wormy horse healthy.
"Does a great job!"
I was concerned that this product was not as effective as the brand name wormers but I just wormed a 3 month old foal with this wormer a few days ago. I didn't think the foal would be that worming but OMG the amount of dead worms that came out were staggering!! Very effective product and I will be following up with another worming in 4 weeks to clean this foal out again! Great product at a great price!

This summer, Duke welcomed two new members to its community—each weighing no more than a handful of paperclips and standing less than three and a half centimeters tall.
Filbert and his sister Scuppernong, twin grey mouse lemurs, were born on June 18 at the Duke Lemur Center. DLC Director Anne Yoder said the birth of these twins is particularly significant in terms of the Center's research, because mouse lemurs have been documented to show symptoms of dementia very similar to the onset of Alzheimer's in humans. By studying mouse lemur genomes, the Center hopes to shed light on the nature of Alzheimer's.

The latest study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed high levels of copper left the brain struggling to get rid of a protein thought to cause the dementia. The study on mice, by a team at the University of Rochester in New York, suggested that copper interfered with the brain's shielding - the blood brain barrier.

In the final hours of a nematode worm's life, a wave of cell death propagates along the length of its body. But, as if to have one last hurrah, the dying cells put on a bright blue light show, according to a paper published online yesterday (July 23) in PLOS Biology.
The discovery of this unusual death-related phenomenon came as a result of studies into aging, said University College London's David Gems. One of the prevailing theories to explain aging in organisms, he said, is that throughout life there is a slow accumulation of damage to cellular components. In mammals, some of that damaged material accumulates in the lysosomes of aging cells as a substance called lipofuscin—"a sort of biological crap," Gems said.

A team of MSU researchers might have found a crucial link between peptide levels in the brain and the escalation of Alzheimer's disease.
For the project, professor Christina Chan and MSU alumna Hirosha Geekiyanage experimented with mice, which were genetically altered to be more likely to develop symptoms of the disease. The team injected a compound called L-cycloserine into the mice and later found it decreased levels of peptides that have been shown to lead to the plaques on the brain associated with Alzheimer's.

Although medicine has advanced far enough to treat basic headaches, strained muscles and the agony of having a cavity filled, inflammatory pain—the kind that results from osteoarthritis, bone cancer and back injuries—has proved to be a far more elusive target. Current remedies, including morphine and other opiates, flood all the nerves of the body, causing dangerous side effects. More localized remedies, such as steroid injections, wear off over time. Recently researchers have begun working with a toxin found in a Moroccan cactuslike plant that may be able to deliver permanent, local pain relief with a single injection.

Finding the passion
Born in the most populous city in China and then moving to central North Carolina at age four, Shaofu Zhang came to UNCW with a strong interest in film studies. At the very start of his freshman year in 2002, Zhang's desire to become successful was acknowledged by faculty and students alike. It was his continued ambition that led him to one of his biggest accomplishments-a Student Academy Award.
The Student Academy Awards is a national student film competition put on by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the same organization that awards the Oscars. It honors outstanding student filmmakers from across the country and internationally with awards in five categories: alternative, animation, documentary, foreign and narrative. Zhang is the first UNCW graduate to receive the prestigious honor.
UNCW associate professor Eric Patterson heard the outstanding news during a conference at Sony Pictures Imageworks where Zhang works as an animator. Zhang and his two colleagues, Lisa Allen and Bernardo Warman, received a gold medal in the 38th Student Academy Award in the animation category for the short film Dragonboy.
The making of Dragonboy, a short collaborative thesis, was a long process that often consisted of 16 hour workdays, seven days a week, for the three students. It took nine months to write and re-write the script, develop the storyboard and create the visual component of the film-one and a half years from start to finish.
"The last couple of months of Dragonboy I couldn't tell reality from sleep" Zhang said. "We realized from the very beginning that if we want to do this we needed to aim high."
"It was a rough time but I'm very grateful to my teammates," said Zhang. "We all pulled together and kept going until the bitter end."
During his time at UNCW Zhang was heavily involved with the Flicker Film Society becoming the publisher of the organization's magazine and perfecting his skills with graphic design and visual effects. The society also gave him hands-on experience directing and producing different productions.
"Zhang seemed ahead of his time as far as skills and ambitions. He knew where he was going and he had a plan to achieve his dreams," said Terry Linehan, who taught him Introduction to Screenwriting.
After graduating in 2006 with a degree in film production and a minor in journalism, Zhang worked at Screen Gems Studio in Wilmington for a year before deciding he wanted to continue his education in film.
"I grew an interest in visual effects which started as a hobby where I learned the aspects of the crazy special effects that go into films," he said.
If he wanted to learn more Zhang realized it was time to move forward in his life, so he set out to San Francisco, to pursue his interest in animation and character effects. He received his Masters Fine Arts degree in 3D animation at the Academy of Art University which is where he began the production on Dragonboy.
Today, Zhang is working on an animated feature film at Imageworks, creating the physical and acting performance of a character in the film.
Shaofu said the film studies program at UNCW laid the foundation that he constantly uses during his job today. Everything from cinematography to pacing and rhythm and all the things in between were invaluable to him in graduate school at the Academy of Art University and now at Imageworks. The opportunity to direct his own films at UNCW, supported his drive and confidence to create Dragonboy.
"I will say though, that like anything else in life, what you put into it is what you get out of the program," Zhang said. "A lot of what it comes down is simply love of what you do and having that passion to push through the hard times."
He remembered doing 16- to 18-hour shooting days for short film productions and then turning around and spending all night in the editing room at UNCW because it was just so much fun making movies.
His advice for students: "Find the passion that will keep you going and never let it go."
Click to watch Dragonboy
"Dragonboy is a film about a school play - the story of a princess, a dragon and a knight that plays like a classic fairy tale with a modern, ironic twist. The boy playing the dragon is actually in love with the girl playing the princess. The knight, who in the classic version would come to the princess' rescue, is actually a bully. These detours from the formulaic make Dragonboy an intriguing metastory, because the drama is played out within the play itself. In the end, the bully is vanquished and love is found, all in just over four minutes of precisely choreographed and meticulously animated action."

LG GD510 Pop
Fantastic value, very usable and lovely design on a budget
No 3G, no Wi-Fi, no 3.5mm jack
At just £99.95, the LG Pop is an excellent buy. The Korean company heralds it as the world's smallest touchscreen phone but to merit the handset merely for its size is to do it an injustice. Yes it has a 3-inch touchscreen and, yes, the casing around said WQVGA is figure-hugging indeed but there's a quality about the whole phone that is a great testament to the work LG has been putting into its mobiles over the last few years.
There's a satisfying minimality to the device with its anodised bezel broken only by the single off-centre intell-key button on the front which both starts and ends the call. Round the sides you'll only find hints at volume buttons and a shutter release and one of the smallest power switches you could ever meet. A cover hides the universal Micro-USB recharge and connection socket but there's no 3.5mm jack in sight which is entirely criminal for a phone advertising itself for MP3 playback and an FM radio. For that alone the Pop has to lose points.
The back is a plastic slide cover nicely disguised as brushed aluminium with just the lens of the 3-megapixel camera the only other mark on the face, unfortunately so close to the corner that it does take a bit of practice to keep your finger out the shots. There's no camera flash and no superior lens that you find on higher LG smartphones but the quality of the imaging is strong and the camera software typically usable. Video capture gives you VGA resolution.
The Pop sticks with an LG OS, unlike some of the company's premium handsets starting to appear, but rather than the top end S-Class system it features the slightly more slimmed down A-Class. Although not wildly different, this software is a lot easier to manage relying less on the rotating desktops which can be notoriously cumbersome to navigate. You can get what you want from pretty much any menu on the phone meaning that you don't have to figure out the right page just so that you can make a phone call or send a text.
A-Class also adds a little fun with LiveSquare, as we've seen on a number of LG's devices. It gives you a customisable representation of who you've been connecting with most recently, be that through SMS or phone calls. These friends are represented as avatars that might appear in a zoo or park, or not even as humans at all, and the more you contact them, the more ducks, chickens and all sorts of things are added to their surroundings. It's completely pointless but really cute and just makes you want to talk to these people more to see what happens next.
The other excellent addition is the native support for Facebook, Twitter and MySpace which is really going to work for the teens and early-20s market where this handset is aimed. The interface with each is good in itself and really only suffers in terms of speed of connection because this phone can only rely on WAP with neither 3G nor Wi-Fi to back it up. Bit of a shame really.
The user interaction itself is solid. It's a resistive touchscreen, as long as you keep that in your mind, it won't cause frustration. Expect the Pop to react like an iPhone and you'll be disappointed. Give each selection a good push with your finger and you'll never have to ask it twice.
In all the build-up photos, media and coverage, the Pop was seen with a solar charger cover to give the handset its eco credentials. At the LG meet up when this was raised, they said that the PCB-100 cover would be available sometime around March or so was the estimation. It will also cost extra.
As it stands, the battery is very good. Heavy use will easily get you through a day but seeing as there's not a major amount of browsing your going to do, heavy use really only equals constant video playback. Most users will get more like 2 days out of a charge.
LG has really done an excellent job with the Pop. It's a great handset to use if you don't want to spend big on a mobile phone. The slow internet connectivity is a bit of a bind given that the software is there ready and waiting to help you access everything you need, but perhaps that's not really the aim of this phone. Go and pay for a black label handset or an Arena if you want that kind of thing.
At under £100, the GD510 Pop really is a bargain. What it might lack in power it certainly makes up for in style, usability and pure unbeatable value. You can feel like you've got something special in your pocket for a very small outlay. The only criticism you'd have to level at it given the cost is the missing 3.5mm jack. When will these people learn?

Listen to this webinar you will discover that generational differences do not affect recruiting top talent. Across all of the generations there is much in common. They share attributes, goals, preferences and practices that can be effectively leveraged for recruiting success.
According to conventional wisdom, successful recruiting now requires that we carefully tailor our sourcing and selling strategies to the differences among America's generations. It's certainly a logical perspective given the real differences in values, behaviors and aspirations among the groups.
But here's the rub: we aren't recruiting generations, we're recruiting talent. So, what's important is not what makes talented people different, but rather, what makes them alike. And, the most talented among Millennials, Gen Xers and Boomers have a lot in common. They share attributes and goals, preferences and practices that can be effectively leveraged for recruiting success.
In this program, you will learn:

Passports and Travel
Your passport is your official identification document for international travel. If you don't yet have one, apply now because you're not going anywhere without one. The U.S. State Department website - http://travel.state.gov/ - is your destination for passports and much more. The site will walk you through all the requirements and allow you to fill out the application online. However, you must apply in person, so you'll have to print the application and take it, along with various other materials such as a birth certificate and photo, to a nearby Passport Acceptance Facility. Happily, there are many of those, and a link on the site - Where to Apply in the U.S. – allows you to find all the ones in your area. Phone numbers are listed and you should be sure to call first because they often have individual quirks, such as by appointment only or no cash accepted. You don't want to get there and be disappointed.
Passport photos must meet specific requirements, which you'll find on the site. Many places take passport photos, including drug stores, FedEx/Kinko's, AAA, etc. You can even find discount coupons online for some of the drug stores. GOOD ADVICE: While you're getting your photos, get some extras. If you're going to Florence for a semester, you'll end up needing SIX more pictures for your student visa and stay permit. They don't have to match your passport photo exactly, but it may be cheaper to get them all at once if your photographer is willing to just print a whole sheet.
Speaking of visas, you may or may not need one, depending on your destination and length of stay, but that will be discussed once you're accepted into a program. A visa is a document granted by your destination country showing that you are authorized to enter or study, etc. Some countries require a visa even for a short visit; others, only for a longer stay; and others, not at all. If you do need a visa, the procedure will likely be that your passport and those of your fellow students will be collected and sent to the destination country's consulate to request the visas. But don't concern yourself with visas now – just make sure you have your valid passport ready when needed.
Travel arrangements for your semester or course will be discussed in orientation or information meetings. You may be expected to travel with the group, or you may be permitted to arrange your own transportation. Bring your questions to your faculty leader or program coordinator.
For general information about travel, the US State Department site you visited to apply for a passport is an excellent resource:
The International Travel tab links to a wealth of useful information, including:
• Tips for Traveling Abroad, including Health and Safety Issues
• Living Abroad Tips
• Travel Warnings and Alerts
• Country Specific Information
• What to do about a Lost or Stolen U.S. Passport Abroad
It is strongly recommended that you browse through this site to learn what's here and to take advantage of this huge store of useful information.
