Help for new moms
Expectant mothers have a new number to learn, and it's not the amount of folic acid they should be getting or the number of miles between their house and the closest hospital. It's 511411, the number for text4baby, a free SMS messaging service providing pregnancy advice and other health tips.
New moms and moms-to-be can sign up for the helpful messages by texting BABY, for English, or BEBE, for Spanish, to 511411. In addition to general pregnancy and infant-care advice, like tips for safe sleep practices, subscribers receive reminders timed to their due dates and even information about resources in their communities. They may also receive helpful public service announcements—text4baby sent out a special notice when children's formula medications were recalled earlier this spring.
The service also sends users phone numbers for local clinics as well as national hotlines. The National Hispanic Prenatal Helpline (800-504-7081) and the National Hunger Hotline (866-348-6479) say they've been receiving more calls because of text4baby as well.
Text4baby has been around since February of 2010. Since then, over 36,000 mothers have signed up and over one million texts have been sent! The Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition nonprofit organizes and produces text4baby, in conjunction with the U.S. government, tribal associations, corporate partners, and others.

The fall season is upon us, which means it's time to bring out the winter gourds like pumpkin and acorn squash, tuberous roots such as rutabaga and beets, and the classic dark green leafies like kale and collards. But as colder weather approaches, many of us find that our food preferences begin switching over to the so-called comfort foods. We begin swapping out salads and other cold dishes for warm baked (usually gooey) foods. And if the thought of eating veggies or anything "healthy" makes you cringe, read on. You may just find a few tasty ways to get those vital nutrients by incorporating these superfoods into your diet this fall season and perhaps beyond.
Dark green leafy vegetables are always a great addition to any meal. In addition to fiber and vitamins C and A, kale is a great source of iron and the antioxidant lutein, which helps gobble up the free radicals associated with cancer, heart disease and other health issues.
Ways to Enjoy
Kale can be chopped and added to soups, stir fried into Asian dishes, simply sautéed, or my favorite, baked into crispy chips.
Kale Chips
1 bunch of kale 1 Tbsp olive oil Sea salt (to taste)
Preheat oven to 350° F. Strip off kale leaves from stem and tear into bite sized pieces. Arrange on a baking sheet and sprinkle with olive oil and salt. Bake about 10 minutes or until edges are slightly browned. Enjoy!
If you're looking for a veggie to help you feel full for very little calories, you can't go wrong with cauliflower. While typically available year-round in grocery stores, cauliflower is typically more reasonably priced in the fall and winter when it is in-season. It's nutritionally similar to cabbage and broccoli, containing healthy amounts of folic acid, vitamins A, C and K, and sulforaphanes, which are phytochemicals believed to have antimicrobial properties that have been studied for potential benefits in managing colon and lung cancers.
Cut off the florets and serve raw with your favorite dip, roast in the oven on a baking sheet until golden brown, or steam and top with melted low-fat cheese mixed with salsa for a little southwest flair. You can also use cauliflower in place of potatoes and make a creamy, low-carb substitute for mashed potatoes.

Spices can help increase the healthy benefits of foods while also improving their taste. One of the most touted spices is cinnamon, which in small quantities, appears to have antibacterial properties; when taken in large quantities, however, it can be toxic. As an additive, it has a number of beneficial properties, including one of the highest antioxidant levels of any herb or spice. Researchers are currently exploring cinnamon's purported ability to manage blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and working to identify optimal therapeutic dosages.
Adding cinnamon into hot cereals, smoothies, guilt-free French toast and baked goods are all common ways to enjoy this amazing spice. But how about adding a bit of cinnamon to hot cocoa for a drink similar to what the Aztec culture enjoyed many years ago, or perhaps enjoying a hot spiced cider on a crisp Autumn day. Cinnamon can also be used as a savory spice and works well in foods like baked chicken or turkey.
Spiced Hot Cider by EatingWell.com
Although most nuts are good for you in moderation, walnuts are one of the healthiest choices. Walnuts are a great source of vitamin E, selenium, magnesium and antioxidants. They also contain the most omega-3 fatty acids of any nut—omega-3s have been shown to help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation in the arteries.
Combine walnuts with dried fruit for a quick energy boost on the go. Toss them into a green bean salad for a more hearty meal. Or sprinkle on Greek yogurt with a little honey for a protein-filled treat.

Wow, bet you didn't see that coming—cauliflower, kale and chocolate on the same list? Absolutely! Most of us have heard that dark chocolate is good for us because it's loaded with antioxidant-rich flavonoids. But many people don't know that it has also been associated with improving blood flow, boosting memory and concentration, and even lowering blood pressure.
Rule of thumb: The darker the chocolate, the more antioxidants it contains. But like everything else, moderation is key. Just a bit is all it takes to get those wonderful antioxidant benefits. Any more than that and we risk adding calories to our diet beyond what we need to maintain a healthy weight.

A healthy diet isn't about consuming a single superfood in mass quantity, but instead making a variety of healthy choices to ensure you get a great combination of nutrients while keeping your meals interesting and exciting. Take advantage of what's in season in your area and don't be afraid to try something new! Who says eating healthy has to be boring?

Would you be so kind to give me/us a brief summary of what it does and why it's so special? I realize I can search and go though hundreds of posts but a brief summary would be nice for those who have not experienced one or be familiar with it already. If it sounds like a nice addition for my DR, I might even join in and get me a box or two.
No, I don't want to try to make it.

In 2003, Yves Girardin, a 10th generation grower in Santenay (and brother of Vincent Girardin) acquired this property and built a new winemaking facility. More recently, after completing technical training, Yves's son Benoit has joined him, representing the 11th consecutive generation of the family to grow wine in Santenay. Working in their new cellars, they have really improved quality a tremendous amount in the last few years, and we are excited to import their wines directly. This is from 50 year old vines, and has both more focus and more weight than the straight Bourgogne rouge. It also shows that nice minerality that I like in wines from the Haute Cote. There are substantial very, very fine tannins buried in this wine. (Keith Wollenberg, K&L Burgundy Buyer, 03/2013)

text: Epigenetics: Can your lifestyle choices lead to cancer in future generations? CTCA December 11, 2014 Cancer is a disease of genetic mistakes. Our understanding of how these mistakes, or mutations, occur follows two paths. First, you may inherit a faulty gene from one or both parents, increasing your risk of cancer. Inherited mutations account for 5-10% of all cancers. Or, mutations may happen during your lifetime—due to smoking, diet, hormones or radiation—but aren't passed on to your children. Known as somatic or sporadic mutations, these mistakes cause the vast majority of cancers. Read full post

|Shaq calls out Cavs, Mo Williams
|09.04.10 at 5:07 pm ET
There was a time when being a role player would not have sat well with Shaquille O'Neal. That time has passed.
In a recent interview with the Times-Picayune, O'Neal explained that he now looks forward to playing for an unselfish ball club, even if it means less time on the court.
"I'm at the point in my life where I can't carry a team by myself anymore, but I can be a piece on a team that's already good," he said. "The Celtics are good with or without me. A lot of people say, 'How can I be a complementary player?' But at 38, it's easy. If I was 28, it would be a problem, Doc."
O'Neal called out his most recent team, the Cavaliers, for their approach on offense. He singled out one former teammate in particular.
"I like that they (the Celtics) play together and nobody really worries about shots," O'Neal said. "When I was with Cleveland, guys who couldn't even play were worried about shots. Why was Mo (Williams) taking 15 shots, and I'm only taking four? If LeBron takes 20 shots, that's cool.
"So I said, let me get with a good team for the last two years. I don't mind people calling me a journeyman. I've been programmed to move around every three years."
O'Neal averaged a career-low 8.7 shots per game last season. LeBron James led the Cavs with 20.1 field goal attempts. In contrast, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 12.1 attempts each.
O'Neal also added that he had been interested in the Hawks and Hornets before signing with the Celtics.
|Pierce talks Pacquiao, 'greatest athlete to ever live'
|08.17.10 at 12:11 am ET
When Paul Pierce isn't battling on the court, he enjoys watching battles in the ring. Elie Seckbach from AOL FanHouse recently caught up with the boxing fan, who says Manny Pacquiao is the "best pound-for-pound boxer in the world" and shares who he considers to be "the greatest athlete to ever live." (Watch to the end to get former Celtic/Laker Rick Fox's take on Shaq in green.)
Click here for more on the Celtics special relationship with Pacquiao.
|Shaq takes on crime and Boston accents
|08.07.10 at 4:41 pm ET
Shaquille O'Neal recently sat down with Vanity Fair Magazine to discuss the second season of his television show, Shaq Vs., and talked about fighting crime, Boston accents and staying focused on next season with the Celtics.
Read a few excerpts below or click here for the entire interview:
What happens if one of your kids comes home from school and says, 'Aw pop, I had some chowda today that was wicked awesome?'
That's when they get grounded.
What do you say when you're roughing up a perp? 'On the floor, dirtbag!' 'Book 'em, Danno!' That kind of thing.
Well, uh. (Long pause.) My job is to be a little girl.
Come again?
I play a little girl on the Internet. So whatever name I'm going by, that will probably be my catchphrase. If I'm Tanya, then it'll be something like, 'Tanya says hello.' And they'll be like, 'Tanya who?' And I'll say, 'You don't know no Tanya, huh? I'm Tanya. Let's go.' And that's when the cuffs get slapped on you.
Are you going to do any undercover police work in Boston?
No, probably not. This is going to be my last year in the NBA, so I really want to concentrate and be focused.
|Look back: Shaq, Celtics teammates before
|08.04.10 at 11:45 pm ET
When Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal suit up for the Celtics next season, there will be some familiarity with their new teammates on the court. Both played with Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce in the 2004 and 2005 NBA All-Star Games.
In 2004, Pierce (Celtics) and Jermaine O'Neal (Pacers) represented the East while Garnett (Timberwolves), Allen (SuperSonics), and Shaquille O'Neal (Lakers) played for the West. Shaq (24 points, 11 rebounds) took home MVP honors as the West won, 136-132, in Los Angeles.
The following year, Shaquille O'Neal changed conferences and joined Pierce and Jermaine O'Neal on the East team as a member of the Heat. Garnett and Allen played for the West. Allen led all players with 17 points and Jermaine O'Neal tied MVP Allen Iverson with 15 for the East. The East won, 125-115, in Denver.
Check out the video of Garnett and Shaq from the 2004 All-Star Game:
|Report: Fernandez trade talks 'likely on back burner' for now
|07.28.10 at 11:17 pm ET
The rumor mill has been buzzing with reports of the Celtics being in the mix to acquire Trail Blazers guard Rudy Fernandez, who is reportedly unhappy with his current role behind Brandon Roy. But the talks may quiet down until next week.
On Wednesday Jason Quick of the Oregonian tweeted, 'Rudy trade talks likely on back burner until Sunday. GM Cho tells agent Andy Miller he will meet w/coach McMillan in Vegas on Sun to discuss.'
That doesn't mean, though, that speculation will be curbed until then. On Tuesday, Fernandez wrote in his blog, "There is gossip about my future and everyone asks me but I'm really just focused on the national team right now."
In the meantime, here is a glimpse into why Fernandez is drawing interest around the league:
Fernandez has two years remaining on his contract and is set to earn $1.25 million next season. He averaged 8.1 points and 2.0 assists in 62 games last season.
|Celtics announce Robinson signing
|07.19.10 at 1:51 pm ET
The Celtics announced the signing of Nate Robinson on Monday. The 5-foot-9 guard averaged 10.1 points, 2.9 assists and 39 percent shooting from 3-point range last season between the Knicks and Celtics.
"It's great to have Nate back, and we think that he can contribute more significantly this upcoming season after a full training camp with the team," Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said in a statement. "He helped us win some crucial playoff games this past postseason, and we believe that we will see great things from him this coming season."
|Catching up with Glen Davis
|07.16.10 at 12:53 am ET
LAS VEGAS — WEEI.com caught up with Glen Davis while he is training with Joe Abunassar at Impact Basketball in Las Vegas. He talked about the Celtics' upcoming season, free agent moves, and a new trio in South Beach.
Optimistic Outlook: 'I think we're going to do well [next season]. We have a lot of pieces back. With Ray Allen being back, I'm really happy he came back. I'm also happy that Paul [Pierce] came back. We have KG and then we just added Jermaine O'Neal. There's a lot of other pieces that we need to put together, but I think Danny [Ainge] and the front office are going to make sure we have the team, the players, and it's all about just gelling together and making sure it happens.'
'Family' Reunion: 'It was great. To see [Doc Rivers, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen] come back means a lot. Especially what it means to them, and that's what it's all about. We're family. Everybody knows that. We've been together, we've been through the ups and downs. We've been through the trenches and we've just got to make sure we do what we have to do.'
Shrek and Donkey 2.0? 'I love Nate [Robinson]. He brings a whole realm to the team that most players can't bring. I just hope that he finds a place to play, and if it's not with us, that [stinks], but if it's with us that's great. I would love to play with Nate.'
A Big Help: 'I've known Jermaine [O'Neal] since I was in college. He's a great player. He's done a lot of things in the NBA, he's an All-Star-caliber player, he's been on that level before. He's a great post up guy. You can always learn something from him, so I'm glad he's on our team and he can definitely help us.'
No Sweating the Heat: 'They have a Big Three, we have a Big Three. We have players that are capable of making big shots and playing big minutes; they have players that are capable of doing all that. So I'm not really worried about the Miami Heat. They still have to put the team together and make it gel. And that's what it's all about — chemistry — and it takes more than three players to win a championship. And everybody knows that. So there's no worrying. We're just ready to play.'

that said, all photos have been taken simply with iphone. most unfiltered, some with a simple program called aviary.
by the way, i arrived at canoa beach hotel yesterday to begin 'work'. i was greeted warmly and shown to my third floor penthouse apartment. the food is great, the accommodations are perfect, and the 'work' is easy. that said, i'll be held up here for a few weeks.
the internet blows in canoa, so i may be offline for the majority. will catch up with everyone with a post once the trip gets back underway (~may 1st).

Greetings from Ecuador! 10th country on the adventure thus far...
First off, a HUGE thanks to Chris I. from Omaha. I've received several donations through PayPal recently, but this one, from someone I don't know, was quite large and very generous. Chris, I hope my journey has inspired you to take off and see the world on the back of a bike someday for yourself. Thanks again! The donation will keep me going for a little bit longer, which means the world to me. :)
...Last night I woke around 2am and couldn't go back to sleep. I noticed a bright unread message notification, so decided to roll over and check e-mail. I found a concerned message from a blog reader Veronica. She has been following along, but hadn't heard anything for a couple of weeks and was concerned. Interestingly, I've received more than a few of these, which for me is pretty neat. Not the worry of course, but that people (complete strangers for the most part) are actually interested and following along, and of course concerned enough to reach out to check-in when things go dark for a bit. When I reached Canoa and started 'work' I put up an 'out of the office' message on ADVRider to let people know I'd be away for a bit, but forgot to do the same on the blog, sorry about that. Anyway, I'm fine and have decided to post a bit this morning to get everyone up to speed...
The border crossing from Colombia to Ecuador was painless and relaxed. Aside from an hour'ish delay due to some paperwork issues (stemmed from arriving on the boat and things being filed incorrectly apparently). The border itself was chill on both sides, but I'm also surprised at how much more experienced one gets at dealing with travel stress after being at it for awhile. A friend of mine Dyann back in Denver is currently planning a similar moto trip and was asking me about border crossings yesterday. I was looking back on the first few in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, etc, and thinking/comparing it with this latest experience. In the beginning I was fumbling with gear, sweating bullets, accepting help and overpaying 'handlers', paying for insurance and sprays when they weren't needed, and missing out on them when they were. Now it's a totally different story, I'm waving away helpers in fluent Spanish like the pesky insects they are, laying down and napping when there is a delay, going with the flow, and all the gear has its perfect place. Turns out, it all seems to work out in the end regardless of the stress level you choose to live in... an interesting realization for me, and probably many, many Americans.
Since I have quite a bit to catch up on, I'll leave the Quito portion brief. The riding all through Ecuador between cities is fantastic. The mountains gorgeous with roads carving through like twisty veins of asphalt lifeblood. There is also a huge amount of back road and dirt riding if you choose to partake. If so, I would recommend hooking up with the boys at Ecuador Freedom Bike Rental. They can show you all the best routes that Ecuador has to offer. I didn't stray too far off the beaten path and ended up staying at Casa Helbling in the city, which is two blocks from Freedom. Plenty of adequate secure parking, beautiful private rooms (starting at $20USD), and a choice location in Mariscal Sucre made this a good choice for a few days. Interestingly, the longer I'm on this trip, I'm really starting to dislike being in large cities. When I was younger, and even at the beginning of this adventure, I craved the action and nightlife only a larger city can provide. Now, after a few days of being in a city, I yearn to throw a leg over the bike and get the hell out, which usually takes at least an hour (what is it about LatAm cities and trying to exit?!?!).
Quito itself is nice, and there are plenty of sights and activities to explore. Interestingly, it was one of the more dangerous places (from a petty theft/robbery/assault perspective) that I've been in quite sometime. Then again, I had no issue, but kept hearing people tell me not to go here, not to walk here, not to ride this bus, etc. As referenced above, Mariscal Sucre (Plaza Fuch specifically) is the area to be if you want to get hammered, see a blend of incredibly overpriced/incredibly cheap food options, sing karaoke, dance, hook up with a gringo and/or a local, or generally cause a raucous throughout the night. The old town, a short taxi ride from Mariscal, houses the majority of Quito's historic/famous architecture and sights, and also provides a path to explore El Panecillo, which is an ever-present hill to the south topped by the overpowering statue of La Virgen de Quito. You can grab a map of the old town and check off the sights one by one (i.e. Cathedral, etc), or you can throw it away, grab a cup of coffee, and get lost for hours strolling around, which is what I recommend. It really is a beautiful old city with a fair amount of charm. However, I'm not sure I would want to spend more than a few days there (maybe that's just my recently discovered distaste of larger cities).
After three nights/days exploring Quito, I pointed the front wheel of the F8 southwest. I was drawn to get out of the city and back to the coast. I ended up in the incredibly sleepy fishing/surfing village of Mompiche. I rolled up to Hotel Gabeal after a long, but beautiful day of riding through the mountains out of Quito and then blasting out down through the coastal roads. Ok, now here is where you might call me hypocritical (probably not the first time!), but Mompiche was too sleepy. Yeah yeah, I know, I just called Quito too busy... I'm not sure if I was there during some sort of 'off week', but there was literally nobody around and nothing going on. Don't get me wrong, it was nice for a day or so, but I literally explored the whole town, and essentially knew everyone after half a day. There are a couple of good restaurants in town, and a few places to grab a drink, but other than that, not much going on. If you inquire with the locals however, there are several options for day trips around Mompiche. For example, one afternoon I took a 1hr hike over to Playa Negra, which is a very secluded beach with the blackest, silkiest, mud-like, unique sand that I've ever seen (and pasted all over myself). There are also severel small caves and waterfalls surrounding the beach to explore. It's definitely a very nice way to spend an exploratory day.
Along my journey I have been hearing a lot about a website called WorkAway. It's a site set up to promote fair exchange between budget travelers, language learners, and/or culture seekers, in an effort to match them with families, individuals, and/or organizations who are looking for help with a range of varied and interesting activities. In summary, a traveler can provide a few hours of honest help per day in exchange for food and accommodation and an opportunity to learn about the local lifestyle and community, with friendly hosts in varying situations and surroundings. The 'aims' are to...
- Promote cultural understanding between different peoples and lands
- Enable people traveling on a budget to fully appreciate living in a foreign environment
- Promote cultural exchange, and give a chance for volunteers to contribute to a cause
- Enable language learners to experience different countries and language immersion
- Give opportunity to projects to receive skilled support and real immediate impact
After researching the site a bit, I figured worst case it would be an interesting way to receive room/board for a few hours of work per day. Interestingly, after doing a search I found several properties/projects in Canoa, which was where I was targeting next. There was one that stood out specifically. Canoa Beach Hotel, which is a beautiful high-end (high-end for Canoa), 21 room hotel nestled directly on the beach just south of town. On the 11th I sent them a message outlining my marketing/sales/management background, and told them about my current journey. On the 12th I received a response saying that Greg, the owner/manager, was very interested in having me help out, but I would need to be there on the 14th. So, I didn't hesitate, packed the bike, and headed south for Canoa.
I arrived in Canoa on the 13th, and ended up camping on a beach just south of the hotel. The next morning I arrived and was immediately greeted, warmly welcomed, and shown to my own private apartment, where I've been living since. I've since fallen in love with this place (both Canoa Beach Hotel and the surrounding area). Canoa is an amazingly beautiful place, with a very special feeling/vibe. The surf is good year round, and it's not too busy. The town has a fair amount of bars, restaurants, hostels, and plenty of nightlife to keep busy. A five minute walk south of town provides instant refuge from the crowds, and a five minute walk north provides isolated beaches, cliffs, and caves to explore (along with additional surf breaks all up/down the coast). In the 10+ days that I've been here, I already feel like I've made several friends and contacts for life. I've been helping out in the bar here at the hotel, and also assisting with marketing/business/sales ideas for the property and their web presence. I've also been piecing together a report that I'll present to the owner upon my departure, which can hopefully outline some opportunities that I see to drive additional business, and close up some existing gaps/problem areas. In return, I've been given a beautiful home to live in, and am surrounded by paradise, great people, and VERY good food.
Something I'm also very excited about is that Nina is coming to visit for a week beginning the 26th. She and her friend Helena will stay with me in the apartment, which will give us an opportunity to hang out, get to know each other further, and explore an amazing area together. She and I have continued to grow closer during my travels. We've now hung out for quite some time in paradise on the boat from Panama to Cartagena, in Cartagena for a week, lived together within the bustle of Bogota for a couple of weeks, and will now spend another week together in Ecuador. I guess this will be our final 'trial week' together in person to see how serious we are about each other, and if we want to pursue things further upon the completion of my trip. This is a very public forum, so I'm hesitant to discuss, but from where I stand now, my initial answer to that question would be 'yes'. We'll see how the next weeks unfold. I never thought I'd meet someone on this trip that means so much to me, especially after one of the main drivers being a split with another. Long story short, Nina is incredible. One of a kind, beautiful, kind, caring, gentle, and fun. And, she likes me... a lot, which is obviously quite important! Anyway, as with everything else, I'm gonna go with the flow to see where things land.
As for other important things in life, like a future career, I'm still a bit 'lost'. I leave here on the 2nd to head south to meet my buddy Sam for some riding through Peru. The initial plan was to continue the journey after that through Bolivia, Chile, then Argentina. However, there has already been some discussion about a permanent position for me here at the hotel... something I've been seriously considering. In addition, a global motorcycle tour company, whose name I'll keep reserved for now, has reached out to gauge interest in me possibly becoming a lead rider/tour guide for one of their long term LatAm tours. That would be a real dream come true for me. Imagine, doing something you absolutely LOVE to do and getting paid for it! Problem is, while both of those are fantastic opportunities, the pay really would be just enough to live/sustain (*edit* - to be fair, you certainly can't compare take home pay on an even country/country basis - I know that). On the flip, the alternative is to move 'home', grab a gig doing what I was doing before, make a $hit load of money, get caught up in the American consumerist lifestyle, and be miserable. Sounds like a no-brainer, but at some point I want to settle, have a family, and create a life, which certainly requires a bit of stability from a financial perspective. I feel like I've made real progress, but it is REALLY difficult to pull away from the concept that money is what equals happiness and/or security in life. So... all 'that' will require several more long solo walks on the beach, books like Everything That Remains (again, highly recommend that one), and isolated rides on the motorcycle to think and figure out.
Speaking of great food here at CBH (Canoa Beach Hotel) and long walks on the beach, I'm getting fat and out of shape. Well not really, but I'm certainly not as fit as I was when I left. So, I made a commitment to get back into an exercise routine. My new daily routine is a 3 mile run on the beach, followed by 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, then a short swim in the ocean. I think it's time to flip the laptop closed and get out there... Otherwise Nina may not be quite as 'interested' when she arrives. :)
Chat with everyone soon...
PS... Here is my agenda for the next few weeks for those wondering:
May 2nd: Leave for Cuenca where I'll stay for two nights w/ a friend who I met here
May 4th: Head for Huaquillas at the Ecuador/Peru border
May 5th: Cross border and ride northern coast south
May 7th: Head inland to Cajamarca
May 8th: Huamachuco
May 10th: Canyon del Pato to Caraz
May 11th: Huaraz
May 12th: Huanuco, via La Union, where I'll be meeting my buddy Sam

As a kid, I grew up spending summers in Bahia De Caraquez which is right across Canoa/San Vincente. Oh what fun that was!
Back then, Bahia was very different than today, and Canoa did not really exist. We used to go to Canoa by ferry through San Vincente and drive via 4x4. It was an adventure of epic proportions.
Now, there is a bridge and a 4 way highway to Canoa.
I cannot knock it. My brother and I went to Canoa via Moto last year for what was supposed to be 1 night. We stayed for 4.

Thanks for update & great pics, as usual.
Some food for ur thoughts - Every choice we make in life has trade offs. While having a family is great and fulfilling - its not for everyone. Don't get caught up with social pressures of "this is what I'm supposed to do". And for ur girl, I would just say this - make sure U have a lot in common - if U want a relationship, i.e. a marriage to last, its a must.
Bottom line - think long & hard about these type of decision, but always remember this ? - Will I be happy?
Stay safe & have fun

Great pics - glad you found Greg and the Canoa Beach Hotel - Canoa is the perfect mix of having enough going on but still being able to have a nice tranquil time at the beach. That workaway website is useful and good to know - thanks...
Have a great trip to Cuenca - I look forward to seeing your pics and impressions of Southern Ecuador...

Love this RR!
Have you heard of Bronnie Ware? She is an Australian nurse who spent several years working in palliative care, caring for patients in the last 12 weeks of their lives. She recorded their dying epiphanies. Here are the top two regrets from ALL of her patients combined:
2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
"This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret, but as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence."
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
"This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it."
Some things to consider my friend...

Thank you for the recommendation. Those two 'life tidbits' are nice to see/hear.
Glad you are enjoying the RR. I picked up a random book laying here in the bar last night. It was a picture book from a moto journey through S. America by a guy named Fabian Borrero (on this site?). Apparently he passed through and knows Greg as well.
Anyway, the route I have coming up is essentially where he kicked off his journey, which turned out to be just that... QUITE a journey! Looking forward to the next few chapters of the trip. The riding should be phenomenal and I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to ponder Bronnie's writings/findings.
PS... A quick Goog search for Bronnie brings up this link. Thought provoking stuff for sure: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bronni...b_1220965.html

Lender's fear of strategic default will prevent future housing bubbles
Borrowers have moral responsibility to default on loans where the payment on an amortizing mortgage exceeds the cost of a comparable rental.
The fear of strategic default is a necessary deterrent to foolish lending. Without it, lenders are emboldened to make all manner of bad loans because they believe they will get paid back. Have you noticed the explosion of dodgy subprime auto loans that proliferated when automatic shutoff systems were installed? Lenders will make nearly any loan if they believe they will get their money back with interest. It's only when they feel they won't get repaid are they prompted to loan responsibly.
Signatory versus asset-backed debt
Some have questioned how I can be so against debt, yet I leveraged up to the max to buy cashflow properties in Las Vegas. Isn't that being hypocritical?
No. Not all debt is created equal. The debt I took on is backed by a cashflow-producing asset. The income stream is being used to repay the debt with interest, and if for some reason I am unwilling to pay back the loan, the lender can take back the property and obtain a cashflow equal to or greater than the payment on the debt. That is asset-backed debt.
I had the good fortune to meet a gentlemen who provides asset-backed debt from a major lender. His company provides debt for property, plant, and equipment to other major corporations. When he analyzes the collateral for a loan, he considers it's useful life, the recovery and resale value, and the cashflow the asset may generate (if any). He assumes the debtor's word means nothing and any recovery of capital will come solely from the collateral pledged to cover the loan. In his world, there is no signatory assurance of repayment. There is only collateral repossession, cashflow, and resale.
Asset-backed debt is essential to the functioning of our economic system. Many businesses could not raise the equity to obtain the property or equipment necessary to it's operations. Lenders can loan against working capital at very low rates with little risk. If businesses have their money freed up to grow the business, our economy grows and prospers. In short, asset-backed debt is useful and freeing.
On the other hand, signatory debt is slavery. Signatory debt is money given to a borrower simply based on the borrower's promise to repay. It has nothing to do with an asset, and if the borrower chooses not to repay, recovering signatory debt can be very difficult because it is not backed by tangible collateral.
Signatory debt provides no useful purpose. It provides a short-term economic boost as demand is pulled forward, but once it is consumed, money that would ordinarily have been spent by the borrower on consumer goods is instead diverted to the lender for debt service. It's only when signatory debt is expanding that the economy is stimulated, and the expansion of signatory debt is a Ponzi scheme.
Signatory debt creates Ponzis
The problem with signatory debt is simple: people don't want to keep their promise to repay when it is inconvenient. Ponzis live to consume. They will take money under any terms offered, and when it comes time to pay the bills, they will seek more borrowed money to keep the system going. Borrowing money to repay debt is the essence of Ponzi living.
Ponzis will inevitably spring from signatory debt. Not everyone who borrows with no collateral is a Ponzi, but Ponzis could not exist without signatory debt. The losses created by Ponzis are the only deterrent from lenders giving out free money. In our current home mortgage lending system backed by the government, without strict controls, Ponzi borrowing with home loans is inevitable.
Conflating asset-backed debt and signatory debt
Lenders are keen to conflate the distinction between asset-backed debt and signatory debt by over-loaning on assets. The housing bubble is a classic example, but lenders do this with car loans, commercial loans, and personal property loans.
A home loan has a component of asset-backed debt. The portion of the cost of ownership (payment, interest, taxes, insurance, HOA) equal to rental is asset-backed. If the loan balance is limited the size supportable at rental parity, the property could be rented for an income stream capable of sustaining the debt service.
However, once the cost of ownership exceeds the cost of a comparable rental, the only assurance the lender has of getting repaid is based on the signatory promise of the borrower. Therefore, the loan is part asset-backed and part signatory. When lenders cross the line from asset-backed to signatory debt, they turn good debt into evil debt and inflate asset bubbles. Lenders did this in both the residential and the commercial real estate markets during the 00s.
Once lenders cross the line from asset-backed debt to signatory debt, they are inflating an unsustainable Ponzi scheme. Inevitably, prices will crash back to asset-backed levels determined by rental parity. it's not a matter of if, only when. We saw this play out across America with the deflation of the housing bubble.
Strategic default is moral imperative
Lenders attempted to enslave an entire generation. They issued copious amounts of signatory debt to borrowers who only intended to repay that debt if house prices went up. Lenders created the Ponzis I profiled on a daily basis for several years
Strategic default has been portrayed as immoral by lenders. This is wrong. Lenders were immoral when they abdicated their responsibility to sound lending practices that ensured their borrowers could remain solvent. It is outrageous after such irresponsible lender behavior that lenders have the nerve to chastise borrowers for being immoral when borrowers fail to repay their debts.
Borrowers have moral responsibility to default on loans where the payment on an amortizing mortgage exceeds the cost of a comparable rental.
If borrowers don't default, if lenders are given a free pass to make another generation insolvent, then we have failed our children. We are sentencing them to live in a world where lenders enslave them through excessive mortgage payments to afford properties comparable to rentals.
Without the fear of strategic default, lenders will conflate asset-backed debt and signatory debt again. Lenders will inflate future housing bubbles, and our children will be faced with the decision to own something far less desirable than what they can rent or sentence themselves to a lifetime of debt servitude.
The next time you read or hear that borrowers who default are being immoral, ask yourself who is really being immoral, the lender or the borrower. In my opinion, it is the lenders who were immoral when they inflated the housing bubble and over-burdened borrowers. The borrower who strategically defaults is behaving morally by doing what's best for their family.

32 year old man | Reno, NV, USA | Seeking women 25-33 in United States
Why I am here: -moved to Reno from CA a few months ago for work and don't like meeting people at bars -the only people I know are coworkers and clients -to find people with similar interests and potentially start a friendship that can lead into a deeper relationship What I'm not here for: -hook ups. Unless you are talking about REI discounts... If you don't like traveling, dogs, or being active, then we probably won't be a good match. Also, I know I'm in the minority, but I am not typically attracted to tattoos... I grew up in Texas and Southern California. I love country music. I feel most alive when I'm in the mountains or in a foreign country. My dog is my baby. I've been snowboarding my whole life, but just started skiing last week. I think I like it more. My dad is a general contractor so I've been building and fixing stuff with him for as long as I can remember. I'm a provider and I want a family. Lastly, I am not a fan of being catfished. I am very selective about who I talk to on here, so please only message me if you are on the same page and you are who you say you are.

My family and I are big salad people and this was really good. I added 2 hard boiled eggs for more protein and it turned out great! I will definitely be making this again in the near future!
i've made this twice - once with mayo, once with evoo, and found i actually prefer the mayo version. maybe it's just personal taste, but the evoo version seemed less flavorful to me, and i thin...
Tuna Black Bean Salad Haiku: "This IS refreshing. Nice change from tuna mayo. I'll make this again!" Just finished eating this for lunch and it's left the most pleasant, light taste in my mouth....

Chippewa Indians for a Rebirth of the Chippewa Nation
Algonquin News
Frog Lake First Nation
Located in central Alberta, not too far from Saskatchewan, is the Anishinabe Frog Lake First Nation. There are three Reserves which make up this First Nation. Total area is 18,941 hectares or 46,804 acres. The Reserve population is 1,613. Economic conditions must be good at Frog Lake. Agriculture is probably keeping the citizens there.
Large numbers of Montana Chippewa's fled up to the Cypress Hills region and further north after the Black Hills War. White historians claim it was the Dakota and Nez Perce who fled but it was really the Chippewa's (the Nez Perce are the Amikwa Chippewa's) who first fled to the west (read the Seven Fires Prophecy) into Idaho, Oregon, and Washington but the United States stopped the westward exodus, which resulted in 10,000s of Chippewa's and other Montana Indians, fleeing up to Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Most settled around the Cypress Hills but many others fled up further north to where the Saulteaux Communities including the Moosomin, Thunderchild, and others are located and on in to central Saskatchewan. The whites did not want the large Indian population living around the Cypress Hills and forced many to relocate to eastern and northern Saskatchewan and even Manitoba, and obviously central and northern Alberta. They merged with the northern Ojibwa's or the Muskego or Muskegowuk which means Swampy People in Anishinabe. The whites commenced to calling the northern most Ojibwa's the Swampy Cree long ago. Both the Plains Cree and Woodland Cree are extensions of the northern most Ojibwa's or the Swampy People. Ogimak Big Bear and Sitting Bull, led them up to Canada. After 1900, ogmia Little Bear helped many landless Montana Chippewa's settle down on some Saskatchewan Reserves.

Originally written on Hoop Fantasies Fantasy Basketball Blog | Last updated 2/23/13
A right triceps contusion will sideline Tony Parker for Sunday's game with the Phoenix Suns. The Spurs released the information Saturday on its Twitter account. Gary Neal is also questionable for the game due to tightness in his left calf. Nando De Colo, who hasn't done much of anything, could get some extra playing time but isn't worth a look in anything but deep leagues. I'm really high on Danny Green, and I'd expect his hot run to continue. As for Parker's return, after Sunday the Spurs don't play until Wednesday. For now, consider Parker questionable for that one. Parker is having an MVP-caliber season, averaging 21.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 7.6 assists and .9 steals in 54 games. Injury report: Tony Parker (right triceps contusion) is out for tomorrow's Phoenix game. Gary Neal (tightness, left calf), is questionable. — San Antonio Spurs (@spurs) February 23, 2013 Photo: Mark Runyon.

Picture: Kate Beckinsale 'Die Hard 4.0' Premiere held at the Empire cinema - Arrivals London, England - 20.06.07
British beauty Kate Beckinsale's breasts were "always on the verge of leaping out" during the VAN HELSING shoot - thanks to her uplifting bra.
The Pearl Harbour actress - who is due to wed film director fiance Len WISEMAN this month (MAY04) - was unable to keep her ample chest covered during filming for the shoot, and leading man Hugh Jackman was often confronted with the sight of her naked breasts.
Beckinsale laughs, "You can see all of one of my boobs in one scene in the film. They told me they would make it look like it's just the top of it, but the whole thing is visible.
"The costume lifts from the bottom then it sort of pushes from the side as well, so they were always on the verge of leaping out."
Jackman adds, "Trust me, her breasts were falling out on a daily basis."02/05/2004 13:59

Pretty familiar with the local flora, mostly wild edibles, but a general knowledge of others as well
Pretty familiar with the local fauna, I enjoy learning more about them
Many many years and times!
Not anymore... soon turning 54!
Hello All... Dave here. I have been an amateur naturalist since childhood, always fascinated with animals, plants and the outdoors. Looking to improve my aboriginal skillset and knowledge of wild edibles.
As good as it gets. Instructor Jim Robertson is a rare bird, one-of-a-kind man in this day and age of artifice and superficiality, he imparts his wisdom gently, with encouragement, empowerment and enlightenment. Sharing what he knows without ego, in a friendly folksy style, his classes set the bar for newcomers and experienced naturalists alike. Not my first class with Jim, and certainly not going to be my last class either... God willling!
