Excellent and insightful...
It was like taking a college course and seeing a new perspective. Dinner is on me when we next meet.

Really appreciate the socio-historical aspect of your narrative. Adds a dimension seldom found in other reports. Also, I'd be interested to know how it feels to be home again, with re-integration into the "normal" world. Thanks again for a fabulous report!

This topic is my niche and vey dear to my heart so it was great to be able to share.
Today marks the first complete week I have been back behind my desk. When we did our trip to Europe in 2008, the reintegration was brutal... So I learned from that.
When Jackie left to go back to work from Santiago, I knew I would have several thousand miles of Pampa and Patagonia to clear my head, reflect on almost 6 months of amazing travels, experiences, and encounters. And I did just that.
Leaving Ushuaia for Buenos Aires, I rode that long stretch of empty and vast Patagonia for 3500 and some km, camped and ate by myself most nights, and had lots of time to reflect and think about the trip and what laid ahead when we returned home. I am lucky that my professional situation will be quite dynamic in the next few months.
For Liliane, being a Flight Attendant really has, at least in this case, a notable advantage; rarely do you work with the same people, so it isn't unusual not to see someone for several months, so not every discussion you have revolves around the question of; where have you been in the last 6 months? And the ensuing matter-of-fact answers that most don't care to hear anyway.
Flight crews also always have a foot out the door, and often their heads in the clouds; and unless it's nighttime it's always sunny "in the air up there" so their perspective is also different compare to those of us more grounded in the "daily grind".
What is always fascinating is that when you leave for a "longish" period, say 6 months to a year or so, and return to the same desk, nothing has changed. You see the same faces and both friends and foes are still there, grinding, earning their daily bread. Of course unless they have a taste for adventure which is generally rare for people, present company excluded, they are not the least bit interested in hearing about your "most awesome" experience.
It's just plain strange if you ask me. Yes I was glad to be home but it would not take very much to convince me to suit, up pack up, and go again. The good news is I feel soulfully good, and have no regrets. Will there be another story to chronicle the next adventure of Jackie and Valentino... you bet, we just need to replenish the bank account for a while.
As soon as I take the time to do it; funny how that sounds doesn't it? I want to post a few more episodes and photos about northern Columbia, Mendoza and some of the ride on the Austral. I will also do a thorough equipment review that will include the bike, gear, and the stuff that we used on a daily basis. Most of it fared well but some not so much. I will let you be the judge.
More soon...

Thanks so much for sharing your insights on getting back into the daily routine after returning. It sounds like your alone time towards the end gave you the opportunity to reflect and accept that this journey was coming to an end and made reintegration easier. I'm probably just one of thousands here who dream about making a similar trip and whether it would be so transformative that it would be too sad and jarring to rejoin our "pre-trip" life. Thanks for your thoughtful reply. It really helps. Wishing you both all the best as you build up the funds for your next adventure and you can bet I'll be following along when you set out again!

I have really enjoyed your ride report especially because of your insights and commentary on Latin America and the forces that shaped it to what it is today. I finally got to Las Venas Abiertas by Galeano (in English) on my reading list and am a quarter of the way into it. Very profound read, it really opens your eyes to many things, especially with how the Bolivian people are towards Extranjeros today.
Thanks again for the ride report, looking forward to the next and soon my own.

Rene, it's so true. I'll be back on my island tomorrow after my sojourns and although people ask, they really don't want anything more than a six word answer. However, in their defence, I couldn't relate either to any substantive answer before I experienced it first hand. That's what travel does...change perspectives, and moto travel, and I think particularly solo moto travel,, does it best, at least for me.
Are you on the "continent" yet? Perhaps a wee bevvie before you go? We'll have to take turns talking though! . See you on the road regardless.

Bike review
So I will do a review of all gear and equipment we used during our trip, and I figured I might as well start with the bike.
Bike 2008 GSA purchased in 2010 with 18,000 miles, US import, second owner.
I thought I would start with that. It is cross-post on G-Spot as more may be interested.
Of course as with all reviews, YMMV.
We rode two up approx 25,000 km and I rode another 6000 alone. I don't want to make a long list of pre trip prep, but apart from all the required and pro-active maintenance done on the bike, it had the new 3.0 vented FD, installed in 2012 after mine failed, as well as a set of new Hyper-pro shocks. I also had the starter rebuild; the bendix was finished, and the rear ABS sensor replaced due to a certain level of corrosion. Finally I had done the quick fuel line disconnect conversion.
The first occurrence was in Salvador when after backfiring, the throttle body popped out. This was rather easily fixed with a bit of fiddling, a hammer and a block of wood. The culprit was probably bad gas.
Leaving Cartagena, Colombia at approx 58,000 miles, I felt the clutch starting to slip and nursed the bike to Ruta 40, the BMW dealer in Medellin, where the clutch plate was replaced.
The first day we got the bike back, on our way to Salento, I dropped the bike (from static, it was my second static drop since leaving Victoria, BC) and on my way down the heel of my boot hit the Throttle Position Sensor and broke it to pieces.
The irony of this incident is that shortly before leaving I removed the protector because I tend to hit my shin with it.
Somewhere in northern Equator, at a fuel stop, we notice that the rear mudguard was loose. Upon further investigation I realized that the bolt with the spacer affixed to the guard was broken. I removed it and kept it along for an eventual repair. It would be "repaired in Quito" by a recommended mechanic who did the best he could, considering he machined a new spacer, and did not have the original bushings that were missing. The repair did not hold longer then the ride between Quito and Cuenca. I would hold on to the mud guard until I got tired of it and just tossed it.
During a desert crossing from Uyuni, Bolivia to Ollague, Chile on a road of mostly hard pack, lots of washboard, with some rocks and sand, the front fender completely ripped off. Just a note, one of my two previous static drops had caused an airline crack in the plastic front fender. So it really did rip off. It did not come loose; the part that remained attached to the bike still had the four screws holding it in place.
By the time we reached San Pedro the Atacama, I noticed that my windshield mount needed to be tightened, but also that one of the two stainless steel brackets that holds the crash bar assembly was broken in half. Note, that my 10.8lbs pounds tool roll was secured to the crash bar assembly with three C-clips, and I am quite conscious that between the washboard, and rock-garnished hard pack we had just ridden for 500 km, I needn't be surprised.
That would be the end of my mechanical occurrence for the next 12,000 Km "until I got home". Not so bad you would think right?
The last 6000 or so km from Santiago de Chile to Ushuaia, and north to Buenos Aires, included a 1000 km ride on the Austral as well as several lengths of more rocky-hard pack-washboard-sometimes sandy roads in Tierra Del Fuego. This last stretch from Santiago was however ridden solo, (-) pillion and her gear, clothes, etc…
Tires used during the trip; Heidenaus, Michelin, and Pirelli, total of three rears and two fronts.
Three changes of low beam.
Three engine and FD oil change.
No flat.
I want to go back to the "until I got home" part. I quickly proceeded to disassemble everything I knew how to put back in order to thoroughly clean and inspect the moto in the comfort of my shop. Apart from a few dried out O-rings, and seemingly well used brake pads and a few missing Tupperware bolts all was good in the world.
On my second day of commute back to work, the rear caliper popped of the rotor due to the flange mount braking, as a result it also broke a spoke and scuffed 2 more. The jury is still out on what caused this but it points to either under or over torque bolts.
To me it remains a mystery because I never touched the rear brake assembly when I did my clean up, and the last potential manipulation of the caliper "would" have been when the last set of tires were mounted in Santiago de Chile, over 6000 km ago. Unless an improbable impact to the rear brakes during shipping from Buenos Aires to Seattle would have caused this.
Link to post
After weighing my option for a fix, I just attached the rear assembly with tape and tie wraps, and took it easy, riding the bike to my friend mechanic about 150 km from my house, aiming to repair the brake disaster, and change rotors and pads.
Upon initial inspection we immediately noticed that there was an oil spray pattern on the rear rim. My thought was that I might have made a mistake (despite triple checking) when I change the FD oil during the cleanup. When testing the wheel lateral movement at the 3 o'clock position, he noticed an ever slight movement. Upon further investigation we found that:
1x 33 11 7 722 890 outboard seal
1x 33 11 7 674 121 needle bearing
1x 33 11 7 722 800 inboard seal
1x 33 11 7 722 799 ball bearing
1x 33 11 7 695 218 cover o-ring
1x 33 11 7 722 797 guide ring (inside seal)
We're going to need to replace these. Considering I had a version 3.0 complete FD, it seems odd. And then: A play in the pinion bearings was detected as well. And then both u-joints of the drive shaft have play too which requires
1x 33 11 7 698 132 pinion needle bearing
1x 33 11 7 699 866 pinion bearing
1x 07 11 9 904 691 o-ring
1x 33 11 7 698 274 o-ring
1x 33 11 7 722 888 pinion seal
1x 33 11 7 701 691 compression ring
1x 26 11 7 706 394 Drive shaft ($905.51 USD)
1x 26 11 8 527 718 Circlip
Lucky for me I found a Drive shaft for 200.00 BP in the UK on Fleebay.
Final thoughts, we met several Beemers along the trip. One Swedish guy, who rode a total of 80,000 km with a low mileage 09 GS, he had the FD replaced State side.
A German couple who also started in AK, who had so many issues that I can't even recall, we rode about 5000 km together, and visited 3 dealerships in Peru, Bolivia, Chile. Among other he had his clutch (entire assembly) replaced in Medellin and his FD and shaft died and were replaced in Bogota. Note that his bike had similar mileage than mine, was ridden 2up, and very overloaded. Another couple (Mexicans) on a 10' GSA had FD failure in Guatemala shortly after departure 2up not heavily loaded. Finally a solo US dude 06 GSA had his FD and shaft fail in Mexico, and later his clutch in Ecuador.
Of course I am quite conscious that YMMV, and that you cannot ride for free. And that many, many, many other factors weigh in when making this type of review nonetheless…
Our bike has now 68,000.00 miles; I have always meticulously maintained my GSA. Maybe not such much cleaned, but maintained, yes! It has and will continue to be my daily commute and long distance tourer when it is fixed.
I am glad we never got stranded anywhere during our trip, but honestly I feel I have put this bike to the test and it barely gets a pass.
My previous moto, a Honda ST1300 06' also a shaft bike, also shipped, and extensively toured with, also ridden 2up, and at times overloaded and dropped a few times from static. I always used both bikes for their intended purpose. Maintenance and pre-trips prep excluded, only 1 low beam failure in 70,000 km on my ST1300.
At the very least you have to scratch your head a little bit…

Hi Rene and Liliane,
I mentioned in an earlier thread to get together here in Vernon or Silver Star this summer. I would love to pick your brain about your trip to the South, so if you guys have time come to the Okanagen for a weekend or a few days I have enough room. We could organize a meeting at Silver Star.

'The Bachelorette' offers Andi Dorfman sexy, sequined dresses and everyday outfitsAdd to Favorites | The Bachelorette
The roses are the same for all contestants -- perfect, red, just starting to bud. But the glamour is tailor-made for each woman on ABC's "The Bachelorette," Mondays.
Costumer Cary Fetman outfits all of the women and works with them to ensure they are comfortable and the image presented on the show is true to them.
"Each one is so different because each one brings their own personality and their own what-they-want-to-look-like," Fetman tells Zap2it. "It is never so much about me as much as how they envision themselves."
This season's bachelorette, Andi Dorfman, who had the presence of mind to reject Juan Pablo, came to the series with definitive ideas about clothes.
"Andi's look throughout the whole season is much more tailored," he continues. "There is a ton of beaded and sequined and sexy dresses. Her look was basically black, white and gray."
Though the show's famous for elaborate gowns, Dorfman also wears plenty of everyday outfits.
"The clothes throughout the season set out the things that are reachable and everybody can own it," Fetman says. "I don't go so crazy. The gowns are much more fantasy. The clothes are things people can afford and be able to go out and buy pieces."
He shopped stores at all different price points, from the high end of Neiman Marcus and Barneys to Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom, J. Crew, Shopbop.com and H&M.
The mint top is A.L.C., the black jeans with Lycra are Articles of Society.
"When you put it with a sexy jean and a high-heeled little booty," this outfit comes together, Fetman says. "The only thing that makes that booty special is the gold tip on the back. Against her coloring, the mint green was a great color for her. You never know with colors. Until you try something, you don't know."
The Val Stefani gown, used for the show's publicity shots, was Dorfman's favorite, Fetman says. "I kept saying, 'Let's save this for the opening night,' and she insisted that a photo shoot will last forever," he says. The Badgley Mischka shoes are nude pumps.
Dorfman, whose day job is as an ADA in Fulton County, Ga., looks quite natural in the Theory pencil skirt, Helmut Lang blazer with the pale gray cowl blouse, and Kate Spade pumps. Still, Fetman says Dorfman wasn't keen to wear the suit because it is how she usually dresses.
The Basler gown is the essence of a romantic, beautifully beaded formal. The color varies from beige to a soft pink on the lower half. "The beading is silver gray and black and on the bottom, those semiround beads are all done in a soft gold," Fetman says. "And this was just a gown that was beautiful. We all loved the gown. It was easy and fabulous."

I think these are guys sweat pants, but I got them anyway and they are fantastic. Well made, not at all baggy but not tight either. Excellent quality material and workmanship. Much, much better than the cheaper ones we buy at the discount stores. I am using mine to wear when I go out and want to look good. I highly recommend these pants.
these have to be the best workout pants you can get. They are soft, comfortable, great quality and you will not come close to anything close to these for the price. I've searched for a long time for fleece pants like these!

The stitching is well done and correct. They wash well. No shrinkage at all. Soft, thick and warm. Love the elastic in waist and ankles. Pockets are deep and sewn together well. Seams are smooth and tight. I'm a woman, petite, 5'2" and ordered the mediums. They fit better than the womans. Wish they'd make the womens tougher and have elastic in the ankles and real pockets! Bought several Mediums for my husband too. They are his favorite over all other brands.

This fleece pant is warm and nice. I like this one because it feels and looks good on be. Good for walking too and winter. Nordic has one of the best great matirail.

I didn't know what to expect when I bought these pants, but I'm grateful that I chose them. They're perfect for a cold morning run, being light-weight but at the same time very warm and comfortable. Being a college student and on a tight budget these were almost a steal for the price I paid. I would recommend them to anyone in the future.

Like the quality and feel of this pair of sweat pants. The inside is fleece lined so it's very soft. Exactly what I was looking for. Who knew Nordic Track had sweat pants.

I bought thses pants for my husband because they were available in an XXL and they had elastic at the bottom of the legs. I have not washed and dryed them yet, Because of their construction, I don't anticipate a problem.

excellent quality fleece. i purchased for teenage boys who play sports and are rough on clothes. these will hold up exceptionally well. and the price absolutely cant be beat. my boys love hoodies and these pants have matching hoodies for purchase which i did

I love these sweats. I sit all day at a computer in an unheated basement (~60deg), so I needed something warm but not bulky - these pants provide the perfect level of warmth! I have Nike, Champion & Wilson pants but now I only wear my NordicTrack. The quality is great; the 6 months I've owned 3 pairs, worn every day, I have to find a flaw.

The fleece is thicker than other brands & 80% cotton. They have full size front pockets made of the fleece material, not the cheap fabric that all the others use. I feel that makes them warmer because that's another 2 layers of fleece on your thighs. The only drawback is that it takes longer to dry the corners of the pockets.

I normally wear Medium (I'm 32/30), but NordicTrack Medium was extremely baggy on me. So I bought the Small, even though I was worried about shrinkage - so far, they haven't shrunk, but I'm careful to dry them on low or no heat.

At 50% sale price, this is a good quality buy. Feel good after putting it on. High quality material and well made.

I really love all of these NordicTrack clothes.The fleece sweatpants are so thick and warm and comfortable and they fit great without being baggy.The 'regular' jersey pants and shorts also fit great and really look good without bagging,sagging or bulging.These products are a great deal at these sales prices!
and it launders well. Very happy with this product.

The Shilohs bring jangle-pop to Local 506
Johnny Payne has done everything you can do working at a record store, plus one more: forming a band. Payne sings and plays guitar in The Shilohs, a jangle-pop band from Vancouver, British Columbia. They're playing with The Fresh and Onlys Friday at Local 506 in Chapel Hill.
Payne's record store co-worker was Daniel Colussi (vocals, bass). In 2008, they started to form The Shilohs. Payne had seen Mike Komaszczuk (vocals, guitar) playing country music in a bar, got his number and asked him. Payne had jammed with drummer Ben Frey before, and asked him, too. In 2010, The Shilohs released their first EP, and their self-titled sophomore album came out in May on Light Organ Records.
The song "Student of Nature," which Payne wrote, includes the line: "She's half a page in The New York Times." The song is about a girl, he said, that he met on tour last year. She's in a band, too, which was written about in The New York Times, taking up half a page. Payne said listeners can take it both ways – that it was only half a page, or that half a page in that newspaper is pretty good.
"She's larger than life, a sky's-the-limit type woman," Payne said. They're just friends now, and live in different cities, he said.
Being on tour means building other relationships, too, like friendships with bands like Tennis, Real Estate and Devon Williams, whom Payne played the drums for on tour. Now The Shilohs are touring with The Fresh and Onlys -- also awesome guys, he said.
"It's definitely a great community of jangly-type music we've been welcomed into in the States," Payne said. They've played in North Carolina before, in Raleigh and Charlotte.
Payne learned to play the drums as a teenager but has more room with a guitar. Drumming is fun, he said, but you're holding it together and have to focus and concentrate.
"You gotta be a metronome, solid as a rock," he said. Payne likes guitar best, and singing.
So, back to the record stores where he worked the past decade.
"I learned about music from the old sages, the guys there," Payne said. "When I started there, CD was king still, and then it started to turn to records again. Now everyone wants records."
There's still some love for cassette tapes, he thinks. His preferred medium is vinyl – at home, anyway. He likes looking at the album cover and sleeve.
"If I had my choice, everyone would listen to our records on LP, but I'm not a purist, an audiophile. However you're getting it is fine," he said.

Aston Villa have confirmed they are in "advanced talks" with Rennes about midfielder Jean Makoun joining the Ligue 1 side on a season-long loan.
The Cameroon international joined Villa from Lyon during the January 2011 transfer window in a £6million deal.
However, the 29-year-old struggled to make an impact in the Premier League under then Villa manager Gerard Houllier.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/1/12
There was a time not too long ago when having Mike Vick, Tony Romo or Mark Sanchez as your quarterback was considered living well in the NFL. Now it is like the sports version of marry, boff, kill. If you had to choose one to build your franchise around, one to win a single game and death is not an option (neither is abstaining) whom do you go with? Be careful with quick answers. Anybody saying Vick should know he is the bridge Philadelphia coach Andy Reid's career is likely to die on -- slowly and painfully if his staying with him for another week is any indication. As for Romo, what if that one game is the one where he throws five interceptions? And Sanchez, well, he seems to have retained his starting job simply because the New York Jets really do view Tim Tebow as a cool party trick and not a legitimate starter. Which is why I find it funny that NFL players voted Tebow the most overrated player in the league in a Sports Illustrated poll. He is not even the most overrated q...

The fourth book in the "Twilight Saga" by Stephenie Meyer.< read all 61 reviews
Warning: this review contains spoilers.
I read this book about a year ago because...well, to put it simply, I had read all the other books and felt like I deserved to know how it ended. This book has three modes: disturbing, ridiculous, and downright boring. The story begins with the preparations for Bella Swan's wedding to Edward Cullen. Those who read the previous book in the series will know that Bella Swan did not want to get married, but that Edward refused to turn her into a vampire or have sex with her if she didn't. They basically played a game of manipulation against each other to get what they wanted and Bella spends the first chapter or so of Breaking Dawn completely humiliated that the whole town knows she's getting married at eighteen years old. When the wedding is over, Edward flies her to a private island where presumably they have sex. Since this is a young adult novel, there is no graphic scene, but the morning after scene is pretty disturbing as it is. She wakes up covered in bruises because Edward's vampiric animal nature makes it impossible for him to control himself. Bella doesn't mind this at all and has a very "oh well" attitude towards it. Edward decides that they shouldn't have sex anymore while she's human but Bella doesn't like this and insists that they keep doing it. A manipulation game (again) leads to more sex and more sex leads to a vampire pregnancy. Yep. A vampire pregnancy.
Edward wants Bella to abort it. He feels like he has hurt her more than enough and doesn't want the baby to kill her. Bella insists that she has a bond with the child and must keep it. The child ends up eating her alive for several months and breaking her ribs. Eventually she starts drinking blood (despite not being a vampire herself) and things get easier. When the due date arrives, Edward gives Bella a c-section with his teeth (I'm not kidding) and then turns her into a vampire to save her from dying. Jacob, Bella's childhood friend who is still in love with her, imprints on the baby. Imprinting means that Jacob, seeing Bella's child for the first time, knows that the baby Renesmee is his soul mate.
This is not the end of the story, but it stays this disturbing and implausible throughout. Aside from the very unfortunate messages of this story (that it isn't a big deal if you get bruised from sex, the controversial idea that you should never abort a child even when it is killing you, and the acceptability of child grooming) this book is just downright boring and anticlimactic. The rest of the book is spent gearing up for an epic battle with the vampire police that never happens. This is by far the most painful Twilight books to read.

More fresh faces at Skagway clinic
By ANDREW CREMATA
Skagways Dahl Memorial Clinic is in a state of transformation. New, experienced personnel have been hired and might be new to Skagway, but they are optimistic about the future of the clinic, including its physical makeup and its relationship with people in the community.
Kathie Dawson, the new Clinic Administrator, is the most recent arrival. Dawson has been in the medical field for 30 years. She began as a doctors assistant and then worked my way up into larger companies.
Dawson applied for the administrator position in Skagway after owning her own business in Juneau that provided a billing service for doctors. She arrived on Sept. 20 but reassures that she has visited many times, and so is familiar with the chaos of the summer months.
Dawson is not new to Alaska. I lived in Fairbanks for three winters, she said, I have lived a long time in Southeast - I lived four years in Haines.
Dawson is optimistic about the future of the clinic but is not immune to the daunting task of facing a new town, a new job, and a new way of life. She relates with a chuckle, I was scared to death at first, but I like little towns.
We were all drawn to her immediately, says Clinic Chief of Staff Cynthia Farrell about initial reactions to Dawson.
Farrell began working at the clinic on August 1. She was born in Phoenix but has experience in rustic surroundings and worked for some time on a Native American Reservation in Arizona. She describes the setting as a very rural environment.
Farrell also spent 12 years in Montana. I am not afraid of cold weather or small towns, she said.
Farrells experience includes working in a special-care unit for rehabilitation and also in long-term care while going to school for acute care.
One recent success for the clinic was obtaining a grant for a new x-ray machine. This is important for a city with visitors who so often stare up at their surroundings and forget to watch where their feet might be going.
Bids for the installation of the x-ray machine came in too high and were turned down by City Council. The clinic obtained an extension of the grant for one year and Dawson hopes that with time now on their side, a more reasonable bid can be obtained for the project. The extension allows the clinic to explore other options for the x-ray machine.A mobile unit may be less expensive, explains Dawson.
With the possibility of the clinic moving to a new facility in the next couple of years, it makes sense to wait. Says Dawson, We dont want to put it in and then have to move it.
Both new caregivers believe that grants offer real potential for the clinics future (see adjacent story). I think there is an excellent chance we can get grants, says Dawson.
The clinic was recently turned down for a federal grant that could have brought the clinic up to $660,000. The grant went to Wrangell and Yakutat. I think that Skagway needs it but at this time Wrangell and Yakutat needed it more, said Dawson.
The clinic will reapply for the grant before Dec. 31, but are waiting on a report that will quantify the weak points of the grant application. We will work at it harder, says Farrell.
Dawson adds, That (grant) would be a huge boost to the community and the staff.
Clinic staff members Mary Tadic, Cynthia Farrell, Becky Jensen and Kathie Dawson stand outside the clinic. AC
Farrell sees the clinics needs as many, partially due to the strain on the infrastructure of a small-town clinic with the growing demands of a summer season that brings hundreds of seasonal workers and up to 10,000 visitors a day.
Its frightening in the summer, she stresses. We dont have the equipment for emergency care. If they need a blood transfusion, theyre dead. We dont have the technology to save lives.
Another concern for Farrell deals with the publics demands for the clinics ability to diagnose a patients condition with enough efficiency to be sure when more immediate care is necessary. Airlifting and ambulance rides to Juneau are expensive affairs that have upset some in the community who ultimately did not need such emergency care.
Farrell is quick to point out why diagnosis at the clinic can be difficult if not impossible. She said, We dont have the technology to find the clues that would prevent having to make that decision.
She admits that it is ultimately their responsibility to err on the side of caution.
A short list of needs by Farrell included: the new x-ray machine, IMED pumps and an electrolyte machine.
Dawson is already keenly aware of one of the biggest problems facing the clinic: Our relationship with the public.
Dawson is making an effort to reach out to the community.
We want everyone to know we are here for them, Dawson said. We are qualified. We want what is best for the clinic, not us individually.
For Farrell, the biggest challenge facing the community has yet to come. She says, We have an aging population and we are not prepared to handle the rapidly increasing numbers of them.
This is a real problem facing communities all over America as the baby-boomer generation reaches their senior years. Farrell has a vision for the solution, but feels it needs to be implemented soon.
She explains,I would like to see the clinic reach out for a wellness program. We need to expand preventative medicine programs including an assisted living program.
If youve been healthy, you may have missed some other recent changes at the clinic. Longtime Skagway resident Becky Jensen was hired this summer as a full time receptionist and billing clerk, as is part-time employee Rayme Eatough. Physicians Assistant Jim Cassell began working at the clinic about one year ago. His wife is Medical Assistant Nancy Wallander, who works at the clinic with M.A. Mary Tadic.
And yet another new addition is on the way. Howard Martindale will be the Ready Response provider funded by the Dept. of Homeland Security and will be arriving in Skagway sometime in December or January.
One thing everyone in Skagway has grown accustomed to are frequent personnel changes at the clinic. Does the new staff have plans to stay in Skagway or are they on the revolving door plan?
Im done with the (big) city, says Farrell. The new crew is awesome and everyone works well together.
Dawson agrees and says confidently, We both plan on retiring here.

Luis Suarez's eighth Barclays Premier League goal of the season rescued a point for Liverpool as they drew 1-1 with struggling Aston Villa at Anfield.
The Uruguay international headed in from close range eight minutes from time to end a run of three successive defeats for Kenny Dalglish's side.
Villa had gone ahead through Chris Herd's 10th-minute strike but could not hold on to their lead and their relegation worries remain.

Newly minted degree first in Canada
Concordia offers inaugural bachelor's in Canadian Irish Studies
MONTREAL, Feb. 6, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - The Government of Quebec has approved a 42-credit major in Canadian Irish studies at Concordia University. As a result, the university will be the first in Canada to offer a Bachelor of Arts in Canadian Irish Studies.
"This is a significant milestone for Concordia's School of Canadian Irish Studies. It is also the realization of the dream of the Irish community, both here in Montreal and across the country," says the school's principal, Michael Kenneally. "We are now unique in Canada in offering a degree that explores Ireland's history and culture along with the rich narrative of the Irish diaspora. This new major is a perfect example of what can be done when members of a strong community work strategically with governments and academic institutions to achieve new goals."
He emphasizes that the School of Canadian Irish Studies is a good instance of an academic partnership that brings together higher education, governments, and community groups: in this instance, Concordia University, the Government of Quebec, Government of Ireland, and the Canadian Irish Studies Foundation.
A major in Irish studies means more than just learning about the country's history and traditions. It's all about taking Ireland as a case study for communities and cultures around the world. Indeed, the program includes a wide range of courses: as well as literature and history, students can enrol in classes in the arts, political science, geography, film, drama, popular culture, economics, women's studies and the Irish language.
"A degree in Canadian Irish Studies allows students to explore the history and rich culture of Ireland and its diaspora and learn about complex issues related to colonialism, nationalism, war, religion and much more. But it's also an opportunity to study several disciplines in one degree, all under the fascinating umbrella of Irish studies," Kenneally says.
The program's multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach will prepare students for the complexity of the globalized world. Students will also benefit from studying in a small school with a hands-on mentoring environment, within a large university.
While a handful of North American universities offer a degree in Irish studies, Concordia's is the only school that closely links the examination of contemporary Ireland with its historical importance to Montreal, Quebec and Canada.
Applications for entrance to the major in the 2013-14 academic year are now being accepted.

Watch Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore brawl at the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' reunionAdd to Favorites | The Real Housewives of Atlanta
In 2014, the bar has been set for craziest "Real Housewives" moment. Can any other franchise hold a candle to the "Real Housewives of Atlanta's" Season 6 reunion special, when Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams got into an actual knock-down, drag-out fight?
It all stems from Kenya alleging that Porsha cheated on husband Cordell Stewart. Kenya then says to Porsha, "You are a dumb 'ho, shut up," to which Porsha responds, "I will f*** you up, I will f*** you up," as she grabs Kenya and drags her to the ground by her hair, slapping her and wrestling with her on the floor.
After the two are pulled apart, Kenya walks out, while Porsha cries, "I can't believe I did that, I can't believe I did that! I have embarrassed myself. I'm so embarrassed. ... I can't believe that ratchet 'ho made me go there."
Porsha has since had a warrant issued for her arrest in connection with the brawl.
And there are two more weeks of this reunion! Parts II and III air Sunday, April 27 and May 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

An injured Marine got the chance to meet Taylor Swift backstage at one of her concerts because of a Facebook campaign!
Cpl. Evan Stratton got the chance to attend Taylor's concert because people he didn't even know showed support for him through Facebook.
Evan's sister, Saryn, said: "It really only started with a couple of people, like our family members and stuff. We started posting our status, 'Hey guys, join this group.'"
But it wasn't just Evan's family who joined the group – the group had almost 2,000 fans! One of them being Taylor Swift!
So how does Evan feel about Taylor?
"I love Taylor Swift. It was pretty sweet. I got to take a picture with her and a signed autograph. She's just as pretty in real life."

slipery bricks
3 Attachment(s)
OK so my 42" build has been going ok but now that I am getting near the top chains setting the bricks has been very slow. (See the attached photo of the jig I have been using.)
The problem I have is that I can only set one brick at a time and then have to wait for the mortar to set so the brick does not slip down befor moving on.
Anyone with ideas of a jig or method to hold the top most chains in place while the mortar sets please send your ideas/photos my way
Re: slipery bricks
Other than using forms I believe Mike from Saginaw, Mfiore, used three or four quick grip type clamps to hold the bricks in place and once the first was set up enough to remove the clamp.. use it on the next in the chain and so on. I also am told that if you don't soak the bricks the higher you go, they "grip" better. Let me know if it works out for you, I am planning on using this method myself but am not to that stage yet.
Re: slipery bricks
it looks like you are using the refractory mortar and only applying it to the bases of your bricks initially and then filling the side wedge shapes after the brick is set in position.
I used the poor man's mortar and cemented the bricks as a brickie does when building a wall, ie, mortar on all adjoining surfaces. My mortar was 1pt portland, 1 pt hydrated lime, 1pt fireclay (which made the mortar much stickier) and 3pts brickie sand. I had no problems with the bricks wanting to slide away until they were almost vertical (the final course only) just prior to the keystones.
Anyway, check out my build and follow the prompts through it completely for tips, tricks and ideas.
it also shows how I managed the final few chords.
Re: slipery bricks
I filled my voids as I went,, If the brick or the mix was too wet some would slide off.. I also had a wood form inside that held about every 4th. or 5th. brick depending on location.. try making your mix just a little bit dryer, also put the mortar on the previous row and tap the brick into it...
Re: slipery bricks
I braced my fire brick using first one method and then evolving towards another.
My first approach allowed for adjustment, from one brick to another. It was composed of two sticks (whatever is handy) joined by two strong rubber bands (saved from bunches of asparagus and broccoli bought in a local store). Each stick is shorter than the overall length needed. While banded togeather I just extended one piece to get the final length required.
My next approach used really cheap dowels - about 1/8 inch diameter - cut to the general length. I had old roof shingles covering my floor to catch any mortar drips. Just shuffled those around until the down was at the right position to hold each brick. At one point I had around 10 or 12 dowels in place. These dowels cost around $.88 each and were 4 feet long. Cut down to size I got two usable dowels out of each for my 42" oven.
I just finished the dome and need to quickly get the "vestibule"/stack ready and apply insulation and then stucco - winter's icy grip is rapidly approaching.
Re: slipery bricks
I built a low dome oven, so my bricks were pretty steep from the first course... gave me lots of tries to find a solution to this problem. For me a few light taps with a rubber mallet seemed to set the brick in place and they wouldn't slide, but I also used homebrew mortar.
Re: slipery bricks
I used Heatstop 50 and found that if I didn't have the mortar too wet I was able to build all the way to the top without having to brace anything. As Neill did, I put mortar on the bottom of the brick and on the side facing the previously laid brick. I then tapped it into place with the back of the trowel and held it there until I was satisfied it wasn't going to slide. Generally, I did not use any shims or wedges. When the bricks were close to vertical holding it in place took about a half minute to a minute before I was sure it was going to stay put. I kept thinking that the course I was on would be the last one I could do without bracing with sticks or something, but never needed any bracing. The last 3-4 courses of 1/3 bricks and then 1/4 bricks were lighter and didn't tend to slide as much.
Re: slipery bricks
With the angle you have on the picture you should be able to do 3 (maybe 4) more rings without any support if your mortar has the right consistency. what I do from there on is I cut a circular styrofoam bord at the same diameter as the remaining opening. Support it from inside the oven, up to the opening, and then use wooden shims between the styrofoam plate end the remaining bricks as I close the top. To take it out I just brake it apart.
Re: slipery bricks my solution - groove the bricks.
I had great sucess preventing the downward slide by using my wet saw to apply notches or grooves to the top, bottom and sides of the brick. These grooves
seemed to give enought traction and prevented the bricks from sliding.
I used homebrew mortor.
I applied a taper to each brick so adding grooves took little more time. The grooves are probally 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch deep.
The bottom of each brick rested on top the the bricks below it.
I'll see if I have any digital pictures.
Re: slipery bricks
2 Attachment(s)
You could always use an angle grinder to cut some grooves into the sides of the bricks to help lock them in. I didn't need to do it during the dome construction, they seemed to stick together just fine (no forms either). But I did cut grooves into the arch bricks...

So last month, with the drop dead date for MobileMe looming, I had to start making some decisions on where to move my site to. One option was to continue using iWeb and simple take my files and move to another web host. I had seen a post on Lifehacker some months before about hosting a web site on

YIELD: Makes 12 servings
Whisk wine, shallots, mustard, 1/3 cup chopped sage, oil, and garlic in medium glass bowl. Transfer 1/2 cup marinade to small bowl; reserve for sauce. Cover and chill. Place leg of lamb in 2-gallon resealable plastic bag. Pour remaining marinade into bag; seal. Turn bag to coat, arranging lamb in 1 flat piece. Place lamb in marinade on rimmed baking sheet. Chill overnight, turning occasionally.
Combine reserved 1/2 cup marinade and beef broth in small saucepan. Boil until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 12 minutes. DO AHEAD: Sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, cover, and chill.
Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Remove lamb from plastic bag and transfer to large rimmed baking sheet with some marinade still clinging. Open lamb like book and sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper. Transfer lamb to grill. Cover and grill until charred and instant-read thermometer inserted into meat registers 135°F for medium-rare, about 10 minutes per side (some thicker pieces can be cut away from leg and grilled longer if desired). Transfer to work surface; let rest 10 minutes. Rewarm sauce. Whisk in butter and remaining 1 tablespoon chopped sage.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Thinly slice lamb against grain. Transfer to platter. Spoon some of sauce over. Garnish with fresh sage sprigs, if desired. Serve with additional sauce alongside.
What to drink :
A New Zealand Pinot Noir is a great pairing for the lamb. Try the Sherwood Estate 2007 Pinot Noir ($15). The plum and cherry flavors and toasty oak finish are delicious with the grilled meat.

What is a FICM?
The FICM is the unit in a diesel motor that controls the electrical impulses that open and close the fuel injectors. The FICM or Fuel Injection Control Module uses electrical impulses to actuate the pressure doors that allow the diesel fuel to flow to the cylinders. This system is set up this way because the diesel motor uses extremely high fuel pressure to fill the cylinders when the door is open and many systems would fail under such pressures.

It's not easy being Rusty Crowe. The Republican senator from Johnson City is the senior member of the Northeast Tennessee delegation to the state General Assembly. During his nearly 22 years in Nashville, Crowe has just about seen and done it all.
You have to remember this is a politician who started his career in the Senate as a Democrat, but switched parties shortly after Don Sundquist was elected governor in 1994. Crowe has been caught in the middle of many bruising debates, including Sundquist's ill-fated effort to create a state income tax.
Crowe has managed to emerge from each battle unscathed and a little bit wiser. Yes, he's seen a lot as a state senator, but even Crowe admits he has never seen anything like the "polarizing" debate about to come on the so-called "guns in parking lots" bill.
The legislation would allow those with a carry permit from the state to keep a weapon in their parked car regardless of the wishes of the business owner. Currently, property owners are allowed to post signs forbidding weapons from being brought onto their premises.
The "guns in parking lots" bill trumps those property rights in favor of the Second Amendment. Businesses and large employers — such as East Tennessee State University (where Crowe used to work) and Mountain States Health Alliance (where he is now employed) — don't like the bill.
Heck, even the Farm Bureau and Chamber of Commerce types are against it. But gun owners support it, and more importantly, the National Rifle Association (which wrote the legislation) loves it.
Speaking to a journalism class at ETSU last week, Crowe told students he will likely lose friends no matter how he votes on the bill. That's because it splits a base that is traditionally Republican-friendly and like-minded on most issues.
You have to wonder, though, what genius in the NRA's lobbying department thought this would be a good idea. After all, this issue could easily cost the NRA many friends in the business community.
But on the other hand, do businesses really think that posting a sign is enough to keep pistols from being toted in vehicles that cross their property boundaries? This is Tennessee, and as one Carter Countian once told me, you should assume everyone is packing.
Normally, these type of NRA bills are introduced in election years (which this most certainly is) to gin up support for Republican candidates. The "guns in parking lots" bill, however, is exactly the kind of base-busting legislation Republicans try to avoid late in the session. Crowe says the speakers of the House and Senate hope to adjourn the session by the middle of April.
That schedule doesn't give lawmakers on either side much time to draft a compromise that will satisfy both gun rights and property rights activists. A practical solution would be to send the legislation to a summer study committee. That would allow lawmakers to find some common ground.
But the NRA is dead set against that ploy. It has been very generous to legislators in Tennessee, and now its time to see a return on its investment.

Hundreds gather at vigil to pay tribute to man who died after beating during apparent robbery at store
"Larry, we hope you can hear us," Surowski said. "We're thinking of you and tonight's all about you."
Temecula musician Johny Miller, 31, also took the microphone to recount how Robinson taught him a lot about the music industry. Miller said that even though he was a younger musician, Robinson was never pretentious and always encouraging and friendly to him.
Today, as a member of the Temecula band Your Machine as well as someone who works in the music industry, Miller said he passes on Robinson's teachings by modeling to his peers how to be courteous and nonjudgmental to young musicians joining the ranks.
"The same kindness he gave to me, I've shown to others," Miller said.
For Encinitas resident Kathryn Childress, 25, the observance was bittersweet, she said, as she held a candle and took in the speakers and songs.
Childress, who grew up in Fallbrook listening to Robinson play gigs around the community, said she wishes the vigil could have been held in the small town, where happier memories of him will live on.
"He was a staple of Fallbrook," she said. "It's just sad we had to be here for this."
Robinson was married and had four children, according to an online biography. His wife, Patricia, did not attend Sunday night's observance.
Donations were accepted for the family Sunday night, and they can also be made at giveforward.com/inmemoryoflarryrobinson.
