According to multiple sources, Juan Pierre has agreed to a one-year, $1.6 million contract. The 35-year-old outfielder will be making his second stint with the organization, offering veteran leadership, a tremendous work ethic and speed. Pierre appeared in 130 games with the Phillies in 2012, batting .307 with 37 stolen bases. Entering his 14th big league season, Pierre previously was with the Marlins in 2003-05. He set the franchise single-season stolen-base record of 65 in '03, when he batted .305 and scored 100 runs. The Marlins traded Pierre to the Cubs after the 2005 season in a deal that brought Ricky Nolasco to Miami. Nolasco has since become the organization's all-time wins leader. Pierre is a career .297 hitter who has 2,141 hits and 591 stolen bases.

Senate Introduces Bill to Restrict Contracting after a National Disaster to Local Firms
January 23, 2013
On January 23, 2013, Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) introduced the "Local Disaster Contracting Fairness Act" (S. 98). If passed, the bill would restrict the use of subcontractors that are not local firms for debris removal or demolition services performed under federal contracts following a natural disaster. The bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

It's called the "file-drawer problem". A study fails to produce interesting results, so is filed away and forgotten - a practice that might mean antidepressants don't work as well as doctors think.
To get approval for the 12 antidepressants that went on the market between 1987 and 2004, drug firms registered over 70 clinical trials with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But when Erick Turner of Oregon Health and Science University in Portland and his colleagues combed through medical journals, they found that 23 of these studies never made it into a journal. All but one of the unpublished studies concluded that the effect of the drugs was negative or questionable (The New England Journal of Medicine, vol 358, p 252).
Consider all 70 studies and antidepressants still emerge as helpful drugs. Publication bias has exaggerated their effectiveness, Turner says, but it's impossible to know ...

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea attends a March 14 meeting in Maarab, Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2012. (The Daily Star/Aldo Ayoub, HO)
BEIRUT: Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea said Thursday he would work to garner support for the electoral draft law prepared by the Bkirki Committee, which he says best ensures proper representation of Christians.
"The best electoral draft law adopts smaller districts. This is what we propose, and we will launch the widest round of contacts possible to rally support for it," Geagea said in reference to the Bkirki Committee's draft law. His comments came during a news conference at his residence in Meerab, north of Beirut.
The Bkirki Committee, under the patronage of the Maronite Church, prepared an electoral draft law calling for small districts and proportional representation.
Geagea said once discussion begins on the electoral draft law prepared by the Cabinet in Parliament, amendments could be made to the proposal to make it compatible with the Bkirki draft law.
The Cabinet's electoral draft law is based on proportional representation, but divides Lebanon into 13 electoral districts, rather than many small ones, as envisaged by the Bkirki Committee and Geagea.
The Progressive Socialist Party along with Geagea's allies in the Future Movement have voiced rejection of the Cabinet's law due primarily to its inclusion of proportional representation.
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri has vowed to block the proposal's endorsement in Parliament.
The LF leader also slammed the 1960s law, used in the 2009 polls and supported by the PSP, saying: "It is not legally or technically appropriate."
He added that the March 14 coalition was against postponing the 2013 parliamentary elections.
During the news conference, Geagea said that the Justice Ministry should differentiate between victims of enforced disappearance and prisoners in Syrian jails, saying two separate committees should be established to look into the two matters.
"Kidnapping someone based on his identity and taking him to Syria is a case in and of itself ... you can't simply lump such cases in with prisoners in Syrian jails," Geagea said.
"There are 17,000 individuals who were victims of enforced disappearance, while there are 500 people known to have been in Syrian prisons. It is not right to put the two cases together," he added.
Justice Minister Shakib Qortbawi heads up a recently established independent, national committee to follow up on the cases of those who went missing during the Civil War.

USDA overpays farm subsidies by $15 million over last year
September 6, 2013 - 12:06 pm
Decrease Increase Text size
The Department of Agriculture racked up millions of dollars of overpayments in subsidies to farmers over the last year, the Washington Post reports.
The Post's Josh Hicks reports that a USDA inspector general's report indicates more than $20 million in overpayments, with three quarters of that going toward farmers under the Federal Crop Insurance Program.
The USDA defines an overpayment as one that is at least 50 percent higher than it should be.

Memorial Day at the South Florida National Cemetery offered a solemn remembrance of those who have lost their lives while serving their country. The cemetery holds more than 3,100 veterans and was the site of an inspirational yet somber tribute.
Over 1,000 veterans, their family members and friends gathered to remember the fallen soldiers, sailors and Marines who have died in the name of their country. The attendees included U.S. Rep. Ron Klein who spoke to those gathered in remembrance. Klein addressed not only the need to remember those who have perished, but stressed the importance of supporting the 2 million new veterans created by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"It's a necessity to make sure when these men and women come home, they get the mental and physical services to support them and their families for the rest of their lives."
Another speaker was Capt. Benjamin Lubin, a Marine who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Capt. Lubin asked that Americans strive to honor the men and women of the armed forces by becoming, "informed and active citizens to understand the wars we are fighting."
At LaVan & Neidenberg we work every day to get veterans the help they deserve. If you need help fighting for your rights as a veteran please contact a representative at LaVan & Neidenberg today.

Last update to this page: 16th May 2013. Just because this page isn't updated, doesn't mean the repository isn't. Try the Linux-Vserver website, IRC channel or mailing lists for more information.
This page describes the use of the Psand.net repository containing builds of Linux-Vserver kernels for Debian.
The kernels are built for Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" (soon to be deprecated) and Debian 7.0 "Wheezy". Kernels will soon begin for Jessie too. An automated script on i386 and amd64 based Vserver guests is used for the build. A cross compilation environment would be better, but I don't have the time to wrestle with that. For those interested in compiling their own modules, or who use DKMS, header and source files are also also available.
The config for these kernels is based on the the most recent Debian configs, with extra questions answered in a Debian style; compiling all available resources as modules where possible unless there's a good reason not to.
First add this line to your
/etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://repo.psand.net/ wheezy main
Then run this as root to add the gpg key to apt:
wget -O - http://repo.psand.net/pubkey.txt | sudo apt-key add -
Proceed as normal, updating your sources thus:
apt-get update
You may also find some stuff in contrib and non-free. To have a look for the kernel packages compiled by me one might use:
apt-cache search linux | grep beng
One could replace the "linux" with "linux-image" which will find only kernel images (so ignoring source and header packages).
A set of metapackages has been added to the repository. This package will automatically install the latest build of Linux-Vserver patched kernel. To install it do:
apt-get install linux-image-vserver-3.2-beng
From then on, when you upgrade your system, apt will grab the latest beng build of the vserver kernel. You can do the same for the headers and source packages too using 'linux-headers-vserver-3.2-beng' and 'linux-source-vserver-3.2-beng'.
There are also legacy metapackages for 2.6.36, 2.6.38 and 3.0 series kernels in the squeeze parts of the repository, and there will start to be some new ones in Wheezy and Jessie soon. These may be removed at some point without notice.
I am compiling util-vserver pre-release as they are released. They are simple compiles of the tar balls provided upstream with no modification, unless I discover small fixes. Consult the changelogs and build versions for such info.
apt-get install util-vserver
Should get you a working vserver environment (with an appropriate kernel of course).
There isn't much. I will be maintaining a 'stable' line which will be 3.2 for the time Wheezy is stable. I'll choose another line for the Debian's Jessie release when that comes along.
These kernels and other packages are provided with absolutely no warranty.
If you would like to contribute to the cost of maintaining this repository please choose an annual subscription amount from the selection below.

Price Levels and Inflation
key terms
Mouse-over a link for a quick definition or click to read more in-depth!
- The price level is the overall measure of prices in a given country or region at a particular point in time.
- Inflation is an increase in the price level over a specified period of time.
- The inflation rate is the percentage change in the price level from one period of time to the next. The rate of inflation varies from country to country
- Deflation is a decrease in the price level over a specified period of time.
- A negative inflation rate would mean there is deflation.
- How is the price level measured? The Consumer Price Index (CPI).
- There is a "basket" of goods and services commonly bought by the average consumer. This "basket" is actually a very specific list of what you might buy: apples, chicken, gas, a dishwasher, dry cleaning services, a shirt, a movie ticket, an iPod, a car repair, etc.
- A group of government workers goes out and writes down the prices of everything on that list. They then come back and calculate how much their list, or basket, would have cost.
- The cost of this basket is the price level, also called the price index, for that time period. Because the basket is specific to what consumers would buy, it is called the consumer price index (CP
- How is inflation measured?
- Every few months these workers go back out to measure the price of their basket and record the price index for each new time period.
- Because the basket of goods is not changing, if the price of the basket changes from one period of time to the next you know the general price level has changed. If the price of the basket increases, the country has experienced inflation.
- To calculate the inflation rate, say from period 1 to period 2, you just calculate the percentage change.
Inflation>1,2 = 100% * (CPI1 - CPI2) / CPI1
- What determines the price level and inflation rate?
- In the long run the price level is determined by the amount of money available in the economy.
- The relationship between the supply of money, the price level, and inflation is captured in the quantity theory of money:
Where (M) is the supply of money, (V) is the velocity of money, (P) is the price level, and (Y) is output.
- If you look at the percentage change of this relationship and assume that money velocity (V) and output (Y) are fixed, you get:
% change in the money supply (M) = % change in the price level (P)
- If the money supply increases 10 percent, prices will increase 10 percent. There is too much money chasing too few goods (remember we assumed the amount produced (Y) stayed the same).
- The relationship between the supply of money, the price level, and inflation is captured in the quantity theory of money:
- The supply of money is most often controlled by a country's central bank.
- In the long run the price level is determined by the amount of money available in the economy.
- There are episodes in history (and today) when the amount of money available was controlled more so by politicians than an independent central bank. In times of crisis, some of these countries started printing mass amounts of money, leading to extreme episodes of inflation called hyperinflation.
- In the short run the price level and inflation are determined by fluctuations in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply. This can result from either shocks or fiscal and monetary policy.
- When price fluctuations are minimal and inflation is fairly constant at a low rate (say around 2%), price stability has been obtained.
- What are the costs of inflation?
- If your income does not rise at the same rate as inflation, you will not be able to purchase as many things as prices rise.
- This is a real problem for those on fixed incomes such as retirees living off of their fixed pensions.
- The value of your savings is eroded.
- The $100 you save today will not buy as much in the future once you take it out of savings.
- It causes uncertainty about future prices and thus complicates today's economic decisions.
- Maintaining price stability is the major goal of the ECB.
- Before the ECB came into existence, potential members of the EMU were forced to bring inflation under control in the Maastricht treaty.
Inflation rates for the US and Europe are illustrated below.
Note: CPI measures of inflation were not available for every member or the EU, so I use the GDP deflator for my price level to calculate inflation – though not the same as CPI it does give a similar picture of what is happening with inflation.
Note: The Euro Area inflation rate is from a weighted average of price levels for the members of the EMU.

According to WWE.com, Rey Mysterio will be traveling with the WWE this week to Sunny San Diego. While he isn't listed as an included Superstar for the event, he WILL be making an appearance for the company right across the street from 1-3pm.
As San Diegans ourselves, we can tell you this is nothing new. Whenever the WWE hits San Diego, Rey Mysterio is sure to be included. He's a native son, and a consistent draw. Even when the brand separation dictated that Mysterio NOT travel to San Diego, WWE made it happen anyway.
Of course, Mysterio is still recovering from injury and is extremely unlikely to return to action. Just this past week he told The Score this regarding his return:
"I was really hoping for SummerSlam, that was my main goal. But since it didn't happen, I'm pushing it back one month. So, September." (SEScoops)
But one can hope. When Mysterio does indeed feel healthy enough to get in the ring, the WWE will greatly benefit by having a valuable veteran presence assisting in the elevation of young talent. Yep, we're big fans of the guy. Primarily because he offers WWE fans something completely different than anything else in the company.
Unless you count this guy (we don't):
According to The Mercury News, Santa Clara's new 49er stadium is a finalist for WrestleMania 31. Right now it's between Santa Clara and Philadelphia. Thursday Headlines prays that the WWE chooses Santa Clara not only because it would be extremely easy for us to travel to, but also because of the difference in quality of fans between the Bay Area and Philadelphia. If CM Punk thought a loud fan in Anaheim was annoying, boy howdy is he going to hate wrestling in front of 70,000 Philadelphians. (Wrestling Inc)
According to certain online sources, both Ric Flair and Jim Ross appeared to be drunk at the WWE 2k14 symposium over SummerSlam weekend. While yes, Ric Flair was probably drunk, Ross took to Twitter to explain his behavior:
When I'm tired my Bell's palsy has always made he slur @ times giving some who don't know me the wrong impression. Weakened facial muscles.— Jim Ross (@JRsBBQ) August 18, 2013
In that case, good ol' J.R. would only be guilty of crappy joke telling, and if that's against the law, then we're getting the hell out of Dodge! (Cageside Seats)
Independent wrestling talent "Xtain Cole" was revealed as both the bully victim of Ryback on Raw, and one of the firefighters during SummerSlam's "Ring of Fire" match. "That wasn't a real fireman?" said the friend that you can never take QUITE seriously again. (SEScoops)

Canada (pronounced /ˈkænədə/) is a country occupying most of northern North America, extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to thePacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by total area[6] and its common borderwith the United States to the south and northwest is the longest in the world.
The land occupied by Canada was inhabited for millennia by various groups of Aboriginal people. Beginning in the late 15th century, British andFrench expeditions explored, and later settled along, the Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federaldominion of four provinces.[8][9][10] This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom. This widening autonomy was highlighted by the Statute of Westminster of 1931 and culminated in the Canada Act of 1982, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament.A federation comprising ten provinces and three territories, Canada is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth ...

text: Vision Care: Cost Reduction Through a Different Lens Digital eyestrain, eye-rest breaks are on the rise By Smith Wyckoff 8/7/2014 Permissions Eye exams provide the opportunity to detect both eye and systemic disease (diabetes, high blood pressure) early, when these conditions can be better managed or even prevented, dramatically improving health outcomes and reducing health care costs. However, many employers overlook a second powerful cost savings outcome of providing vision benefits—increased productivity. While it intuitively makes sense that you can't work well if you can't see well, there has been relatively little research speaking to the scope of the issue. One widely quoted study from the University of Alabama School of Optometry cited a productivity loss of up to 20 percent on specific tasks performed at the computer when vision is miscorrected so slightly the employee wouldn't even notice it. But few other studies have documented the impact of vision problems on the ability to stay focused. New findings from Transitions Optical's annual Employee Perceptions of Vision Benefits report indicate it is more important than ever for employers to understand this issue—and to see that it is having a significant (and increasing) impact on businesses. Below are highlights from the research showing why the right vision insurance is important for employees' health and productivity. Digital Eyestrain Now Common Almost 80 percent of employees encounter at least one visual disturbance that bothers their eyes at work. Topping the list of complaints, nearly half (47 percent) of employees report having tired eyes. This makes sense, given that a common cause for eye fatigue is computer use, which is steadily increasing among workers, along with screen time from personal devices. Nielsen research shows the average American spends 11 hours per day with electronic media . The Vision Council of America, a trade group for the optical industry, reports that due to digital eyestrain: • Nearly 90 percent of employees who use a computer for three or more hours a day experience vision problems. • Nearly 10 million eye exams a year are prompted by computer-related eye problems. • Causes for eyestrain and fatigue include bright light and glare. • About a third of employees are bothered by light reflecting off their computer screen or bright, glaring light. • 16 percent have trouble with light reflected off personal devices. • Another 16 percent are bothered by reflections off outdoor surfaces. Although eyewear technology like anti-reflective coatings and photochromic lenses make it possible to better manage the amount of light that reaches the eyes, an employee who does not have access to a benefit that covers these options may not choose to add them. Additionally, less than half of employees know what lenses are covered in their vision plan—a clear opportunity for education, since employees who do not know about lens options covered are obviously less likely to take advantage of this aspect of their plan. A significant 29 percent of all workers say they suffer from headaches as a result of visual disturbances. According to the National Headache Foundation, headaches cost the nation $17 billion in absenteeism, lost productivity and medical expenses. The foundation also reports that while 90 percent of employees say headaches affect their work performance, only 33 percent tell their employers, indicating a potentially bigger issue than employers realize. Eye-Rest Breaks Are Up More than half (53 percent) of employees in the Employee Perceptions of Vision Benefits survey admit they take at least one break during their workday to rest their eyes because they hurt or feel uncomfortable. In 2011, only 29 percent of employees were reporting breaks. That means there has been a 45 percent increase in people taking breaks during their workday to rest their eyes. The average employee takes two breaks per day, but nearly one-third (32 percent) are taking three or more breaks, and 13 percent are taking more than five. Just a one-minute eye-rest break, taken twice a day, can result in a full day of lost time per employee per year. A Cost-Effective Benefit The American Optometric Association estimates that adding a vision plan to their health care benefit packages can save employers $7 for every $1 spent. This is good news for the increasing number of employers whose employees are taking advantage of their vision benefit. The Employee Perceptions survey showed that: • 83 percent of employees who were offered vision coverage by their employers chose to enroll in 2013, compared to 78 percent in 2012 (a 6 percent increase). • 8 out of 10 employees used their vision benefit over the past year for a comprehensive eye exam—55 percent once, and 24 percent more than once. This is up from 6 out of 10 using it in 2012. Employees are recognizing the value of not only enrolling in a vision plan but also using it for an eye exam. Doing so benefits employers in two ways: by ensuring workers are getting the preventive care they need to reduce costs, and also so workers have updated lens prescriptions to enable crisp, clear vision. Employees can also be advised on the right eyeglass lens options to address visual disturbances that they are regularly encountering at work. For example, an employee bothered by reflections off a computer screen may need an anti-reflective coating to help reduce glare. Employees who spend a lot of time outdoors, or frequently transition from indoors to outdoors, may need photochromic lenses to adapt to the level of darkness to alleviate light sensitivity and improve overall quality of vision. Outdoor workers are more likely to be exposed to ultraviolet rays and to be bothered by light while at work. They are also more likely to use their vision plan, making vision a highly valued benefit for this group. Knowing this, employers should look at the materials coverage side of the vision benefit to make sure it includes eyewear that enhances sight and provides eye protection in accordance with occupational needs. Education about the importance of regular eye exams and wearing the right eyewear can help prompt employees to make good use of their coverage.

Smith Wyckoff is the key account manager of managed care/online retail at Transitions Optical Inc., a provider of photochromic lenses to optical manufacturers.

Dear Scott Families:
Each year, the state of Colorado looks at the performance of our students on state assessments, and gives each school a rating based on an analysis of those scores. These ratings then determine what kind of improvement plan each school will be assigned. Schools may be required to implement a performance plan, improvement plan, priority improvement plan, or turnaround plan. Performance plans require the least amount of change and turnaround plans require the most dramatic strategies for improvement.
Based on the results, our school is required to develop a priority improvement plan. We met or approached state expectations in some areas including academic achievement, academic growth, and growth gaps. But according to the ranking we did not meet expectations for writing growth. We also did not meet expectations in writing growth gaps and in reading growth gaps for students with disabilities. We are in the process of developing a plan to address the areas where we did not meet expectations and will submit a two-year plan to the state by January 15, 2015.
If you would like to have input into the creation of the
plan and receive an update on our progress in implementing last year's plan, please
plan to attend a meeting on April 7th at 6pm in the Scott library.
Please RSVP to our front office if you plan to attend this meeting by March 26th.

Birds of the Masai Mara - book reviewBy: Gabriel Thoumi, CFA
January 23, 2013
Birds of the Masai Mara categorizes birds by their habitats. There specific sections on birds who dwell in the plains; marsh and water; woodland, scrub, and garden; acacia scrub; village; forest; "up in the air"; and "nightbirds". This organizing convention allows the reader to use the guidebook while they are visiting the region, with quick reference guides for each habitat. Furthermore, WildGuides provides a printer-friendly checklist for birders who wish to mark-up their checklist and count the birds they see on while in the Masai Mara region.
The photography in the guidebook is excellent while some of the formatting of the pictures could be improved by emphasizing foreground and background contrast. This would support easier identification.
Adam Scott Kennedy, in the Birds of the Masai Mara, shares some entertaining tidbits on various birds such as the Red-billed oxpecker, Von Der Decken's Hornbill, and other species that will certainly be conversation fodder while trekking through the region.
The Birds of the Masai Mara is easily used by both the casual birder and safari tourist and the professional ornithologist.

The technologies allowing to build highly-available (HA) MySQL solutions are in constant evolution and they cover very different needs and use cases. In order to help people choose the best HA solution for their needs, we decided, Jay Janssen and I, to publish, on a regular basis (hopefully, this is the first), an update on […]

Updated Percona Server and Percona XtraBackup documentation
We've just gone live with a new way of publishing and maintaining documentation for Percona Server and Percona XtraBackup. We are now using Sphinx to generate the documentation that we publish on the web site. Sphinx was originally created for the new Python documentation, and has won us over due to the simple markup, ease of […]
Multiple purge threads in Percona Server 5.1.56 and MySQL 5.6.2
Part of the InnoDB duties, being an MVCC-implementing storage engine, is to get rid of–purge–the old versions of the records as they become obsolete. In MySQL 5.1 this is done by the master InnoDB thread. Since then, InnoDB has been moving towards the parallelized purge: in MySQL 5.5 there is an option to have a […]
Sharing an auto_increment value across multiple MySQL tables
The title is SEO bait – you can't do it. We've seen a few recurring patterns trying to achieve similar – and I thought I would share with you my favorite two: Option #1: Use a table to insert into, and grab the insert_id:
CREATE TABLE option1 (id int not null primary key auto_increment) engine=innodb;
# each insert does one operations to get the value:
INSERT INTO option1 VALUES (NULL);
# $connection->insert_id();
Option #2: Use a table with one just row:
CREATE TABLE option2 (id int not null primary key) engine=innodb;
INSERT INTO option2 VALUES (1); # start from 1
# each insert does two operations to get the value:
UPDATE option2 SET id=@id:=id+1;
SELECT @id;
The Doom of Multiple Storage Engines
One of the big "Selling Points" of MySQL is support for Multiple Storage engines, and from the glance view it is indeed great to provide users with same top level SQL interface allowing them to store their data many different way. As nice as it sounds the in theory this benefit comes at very significant […]
Using Multiple Key Caches for MyISAM Scalability
I have written before – MyISAM Does Not Scale, or it does quite well – two main things stopping you is table locks and global mutex on the KeyCache. Table Locks are not the issue for Read Only workload and write intensive workloads can be dealt with by using with many tables but Key Cache […]
Multiple column index vs multiple indexes
(There is an updated version of the content in this post by Percona's Stephane Combaudon available here.) After my previous post there were questions raised about Index Merge on Multiple Indexes vs Two Column Index efficiency. I mentioned in most cases when query can use both of the ways using multiple column index would be […]
How multiple disks can benefit for single client workload ?
Let us talk few more about disks. You might have read my previous post and Matt's Reply and it looks like there are few more things to clarify and explain. Before I get to main topic of the article lets comment on IO vs Disk question. If you look at Disk Based databases all data […]
Updated msl (microslow) patch, installation walk-through!
For a couple of months there have been no updates to our msl patch, however recently I managed some time to change this. The functionality was extended a little bit and what's even more important the patch is available for all the recent MySQL releases. To remind anyone who has not yet come across this […]
INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE and REPLACE INTO
Jonathan Haddad writes about REPLACE INTO and INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE. Really, Why MySQL has both of these, especially both are non ANSI SQL extensions ? The story here seems to be the following – REPLACE INTO existed forever, at least since MySQL 3.22 and was a way to do replace faster and what […]

February 5th & 6th Barichara to Villa de layva, Colombia
Barichara was a really cool town up on a hill. Relaxing and a great place to just stop and relax!
Or do some fooling around!
The little stores had all their goods stacked up high. Liked the way they looked.
Building materials waiting the next project. The bricks and they use round poles as roof supports.
Last photo at the top of Barichara
We are at around 5,000 feet and the terrain is great for riding. But like all of this trip you have to watch for the unexpected potholes, animals in the road, crazy truck drivers!
Someone had a bad day..... Not sure what happened.
Had a great ride....
cool sun flares on the way.
Our GPS sent us into town the back way up a rough Gravel road....
Great views....
We had a great ride to Villa de Leyva which is an old colonial town. It has the Major Plaza which is the largest in the Americas. Hard to give you a good photo :)
it was cool at night.
The streets have smaller rounded "Wobblestones" harder to walk and ride.
The kids heading to school.
Quiet place on the weekdays. Fun to walk around.
We are staying just off the Plaza at Hospederia La Villa. Cheap place $12.50 USD for a single room. My bathroom is a multipurpose. You can shower, use the toilet and shave all at once
After leaving Medellin my rear tire was slowly going flat. I had converted the rear rim to be tubeless at Woody's Wheel Works.
We had diagnosed that the spokes were leaking air
Did not know what happened other than I had my rear tire changed back on Medellin.
So decided to keep pumping it up until I could make a run to Bogota to get a couple of spare tubes which would fix the problem. Nagging question what happened.... Talked with Woody's and they had never had one fail....
Rode into Bogota and Edgar at Autogermania was really helpful!!
We was ready and got my bike right into the shop.
even got a free cup of coffee and BMW water
Took us into the shop after they pulled my rear rim. It is part of a large BMW car dealer.... Really upscale wow.
With quick look..... The job that Woody's did, got destroyed during the tire change.
Looks like they took the strapping tape off the rim that was part of the sealing process, then the next layer just broke loose and allowed the rim to leak. Arggg!
They put in a tube, and tire back on... Back on the road again.
Ended up with a 3 hour ride in the rain back to Villa de Leyva that took us into the dark (which I have not done but a couple times as it has been my Cardinal rule. No riding at night
) But we were told the ride was 2 hours maximum :)
Just added to the adventure of the day!
Chapter 3 of my life...... with Faith, Hope and Courage!
Ride of my Lifetime...... Thread started 5/11/2011

I realize class is canceled, but only after I've made the trek to west bank. I ducked into Wilson library to avoid the cold and decide to take advantage of the situation and get some reading material. I'm not anywhere near as well read as I'd like to be, catching up has been a recent passion of mine. Introducing postmodernism opened up a wealth of sources for writing on theoretical topics that I have been thinking about for the last few years. It is really exciting to discover that these ideas aren't just spacy thoughts of mine. I checkout a Foucalt reader, and Guy Debord and the Situationist International.
cost: free, student fees
time: 9:30am
feeling: excited, motivated, hopeful
location: Wilson Library
A short nap turns into rushing to work. I realize I am super hungry and I visit the student center in hopes of their strangely fluffy and expensive pizza. I am foiled again by the ridiculously early closing times and decide to visit Mim's instead for a greasy and surprisingly undercooked cheeseburger and fries. Mmm good. As I eat I think about the effects of e.coli poisoning and how I will most likely be experiencing them soon.
feeling:hungry, disappointed, dreading work
location: Mim's
After work I arrive at my girlfriend's apartment to find her sleeping off a hardcore case of the flu. I then realize my aches are slowly turning into fever aches. The evening is spent spiraling into a full blown flu. To top things off it's our 3rd year anniversary. We celebrate with Advil.
feeling:sick, apathy bordering on sadness
location: apartment
