I found the movie quite entertaining. I haven't seen the original movie for quite a long time now, so I can't be biased or weigh them side by side. In its own accord it was my sort of movie.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lumiere Being Double-Religious Was No Good
I was deeply disappointed when Lumiere (Jerry Orbach) said "Happy Hanukkah" just once although he had been repeating "Christmas" all through the story. I felt an American awkward effort of politically-correctness. Disney should have referred it as "Happy Holiday" from the beginning if they really wanted to make it p.c., or I strongly believe that they should have stuck to...

I found the movie quite entertaining. I haven't seen the original movie for quite a long time now, so I can't be biased or weigh them side by side. In its own accord it was my sort of movie. The dark scenery sort of "gave the mood" if you like. The beginning scene after the enchantment had been gone for a year tend to be bright in comparison of the scenes during the time of the enchantment. That alone shows differences in the beast's/prince's and perhaps even Angelique's moods about christmas. The songs Stories and As long as there's Christmas were very nice. I'd have to say I enjoyed Stories the most. It was beautiful and the lyrics were wonderful. The singing isn't perfect, but at the same time it give more emotion, it seems more raw and perhaps sincere. Since it has been many years before the first movie, I would assume the voices aren't quite the same. Nevertheless, they did well enough. The new characters were interesting. I enjoyed the "bad guys" the most. People would deem it scary for children, but then again I have seen scenes in other movies just as dark and scary back when I was little. I believe it depends on the child and the upbringing, and how the parents feel. The plot had its lacking points, like how the Beast suddenly decided to lock Belle up after saving her. Strange, strange man if you ask me. The Beast's portrayal seemed a bit out of character from what I recall. Belle was just as kind and patient as ever. Lumiere was still a shameless romancer and Cogsworth was still never listened to. Chip was adorable as ever though. The way the scenes were done weren't as elegant. It was more like how you'd watch a bugs bunny cartoon... far away instead of up close or at different angles. Thus, it didn't have a more enchanting impact as the original. I wouldn't compare it or try to fit it in with the original. I'd leave it as a stand alone. In that case it is a nice movie.

My brother has been trying to get this movie for his daughter ever since it came out. He was happy that I managed to get it for a good price. My niece loveit. It arrived in time for spring break and she watched it 2 or 3 times a day while she was off. She is now learning the words to the songs. My brother says it follows along with the original movie very well and is pleasant to watch.
4.0 out of 5 stars Not as Enchanting as the Original, But Fun Just the Same,
Mark Baker - Carstairs Considers (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Belle has just been saved from the wolves by the Beast. As a way to show her appreciation, Belle decides that the castle will celebrate Christmas, even though the Beast has forbidden it. Surely it will bring hope and joy back to everyone in the castle, right?
But Forte, the former court composer, is against the idea. The current pipe organ has become used to being the Beast's confidant and advisor and is threatened by the idea of Beast falling in love and the spell being broken. Enlisting the aid of Fife, he tries everything he can think of to ruin Christmas and drive Belle and the Beast further apart.
Overall, I'm not too impressed with most of the Disney straight to video sequels. But this one is entertaining. The storyline is engaging, even if the ending is obvious from the start. The idea of setting the "sequel" in the middle of the original movie is wonderful, and helps develop all the characters. Yet the wrap around part shows us the human characters again and how things have changed. All the original voices are back, except for Bradley Pierce as Chip, who is replaced by Haley Joel Osment. In an effort to appeal to kids, the main target for this movie, Chip has a larger role in this one, but it really helps advance the story as well.
As with most Disney animated sequels there are two major flaws. The animation isn't as good as the original, although it certainly works to tell the story. Also, with the exception of "As Long As There's Christmas," the songs are immediately forgettable and actually take away from the enjoyment of the movie. Also, clocking in at just over an hour, it's pretty short.
The picture and sound on this DVD are fantastic. For a special edition, this DVD is short on extras, but the number they have are fitting the movie. There is an interesting making of documentary, but the rest of the features are for kids to enjoy.
If you go into this movie not expecting the brilliance of the original, you'll be entertained. And it will get you in the holiday spirit. What more can you really ask for?
4.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed this movie! HOWEVER!!!!! GGGGRRRRR DISNEY!,
Matt Charles "Matt Charles" (Linden, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews
I feel this movie was put together very well for a Christmas Special! I am also glad they released a soundtrack as well because it really has great music on it!
MY PROBLEM WITH THE DVD IS THAT THEY FORGOT TO ADD THE ORIGINAL MOVIE VERSION OF "AS LONG AS THERES CHRISTMAS" ON IT! That made me really upset! I like Play's music video to the song don't get me wrong but I would really enjoyed this DVD if they had BOTH MUSIC VIDEOS ON THE SPECIAL EDITION DVD!!!! I had to get the Read Along DVD of Beauty and the Beast to get the video! That to me did not make any sense at all!
They put both videos of the original song from Beauty and the Beast on the Special Edition DVD! Why not get the same treatment? SORRY! THAT JUST ERKS ME! :)
Another thing, this DVD is full screen! Why not have a wide screen version of the DVD? I would have loved to see the other parts of the movie that was CHOPPED OUT IN THE STUPID FULL SCREEN VERSION! ERRRR DISNEY ERRR!
OTHER THAN THAT: get the DVD! :)
5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanted DVD,
Lee Neville "emotionboy" (London, ENGLAND) - See all my reviews
Ok you can argue all you like about Disney straight to video sequels frankly not being very good and being a detriment to the Disney legacy- and you are totally right! However, "Beauty & The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas", along with "Winnie The Pooh's Grandest Adventure" is one of those straight to video sequels where Disney did put some effort in. Granted, certain continuity as with Belle's dress is partly stretched, but this sequel isn't at all bad. The animation is inferior to "Beauty & The Beast" but is superior to other Disney video sequels. It also has great music and is full of Christmas spirit.
However, as with my review of "Beauty & The Beast", I'm gonna focus on the special features and the DVD itself. First of all, the film is digitally remastered and looks fantastic. As for the special features, "Beauty & The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" has "Forte's Challenge" game; an Enchanted environment fireplace; Sing-along song tracks; and a music video by Play. There is also an exciting behind the scenes documentary which I was very impressed by. With this documentary, whenever a bright circle appears on screen, if you press play, the documentary will go into greater depth before returning to where it left off. The documentary is also designed with Children in mind and thus is a lot of fun as well as being informative. This was a very pleasant surprise and definitely added bonus ponits to a very pleasant DVD.
"Beauty & The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" the film gets 3 stars.
"Beauty & The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" the DVD gets 5 stars!
4.0 out of 5 stars Belle and Beast Celebrate Christmas,
C. A. Matha (Erie, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (VHS Tape)
Belle, The Beast, Lumiere, Clogsworth, Mrs Potts and Chip are back to do a seasonal adventure movie.
Despite being released after smash hit movie "Beauty and the Beast," it is not a sequel, this story is an added into the events of the first film. Unfortunately, it hasn't got the charm of the original movie though. The story is pretty basic and doesn't really have an interesting story to tell the viewer. Belle wants to have a Christmas party and Beast forbids her, therefore setting the stage for new turmoils with the new bad guy Forte an old organ who is a bit sinister for my likes.
Another new character is a Christmas tree fairy/Angel named Angelique. She is the expert on organizing parties and celebrations. However, other than having an absolutely darling accent she plays little to no part in the movie.
It has the usual songs for a Disney Movie which are pleasant and nice but none are not overly memerable. The animation is nice but I would expect none the less from Disney, with the usual vibrant colors. Overall, I would think younger children would enjoy this more and probably would not please more mature children and adults like the first one.

Cubby (Never Land) - See all my reviews
"Beauty & The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" is enchanting. And when you see it on DVD, it's even COOLER! The animation is super, I love the songs, and the story is GREAT!
The plot: This movie is all about Belle and the enchanted objects getting ready for everyone's favorite holiday (save of course for my birthday). But the Beast hates Christmas (and probably my birthday, too) and wants to make sure that it doesn't come to the castle this year. The bad dude in the film is Forte, an evil pipe organ with a trusty sidekick named Fife. Forte hates Christmas and anything happy (meaning that he hates my birthday). He also wants to kill Belle, and eat her for Christmas dinner.
The songs: "As long as there's Christmas" , a way cool song with a BIG TIME COOL music video on the DVD! I love it. There's the super song, "A Cut Above The Rest". It is SO cool! The only stupid song is "Don't Fall In Love". It gets a big BAD!
This movie is so cool! You should buy it! If you do, you'll enjoy it every Christmas for years to come.
1.0 out of 5 stars Lumiere Being Double-Religious Was No Good,
A Japanese (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
I was deeply disappointed when Lumiere (Jerry Orbach) said "Happy Hanukkah" just once although he had been repeating "Christmas" all through the story. I felt an American awkward effort of politically-correctness. Disney should have referred it as "Happy Holiday" from the beginning if they really wanted to make it p.c., or I strongly believe that they should have stuck to Christmas due to the fact that Beauty and the Beast is based in the 17 century, France.
Other than that one line, the animation was plain and there was no dynamic movement as Belle did when she was choosing a book in the original movie. The only well-drawn character was the new girl Angelique from the animation point of view.
The music was far below the level of the original movie scores by Alan Menken, unfortunately. There was no much for Be Our Guest, Belle, Guston nor Human Again.
If you barely know the original movie Beauty and the Beast, there is a chance you'll enjoy the Enchanted Chrismas. If you have seen the original and loved it, your quality bar of its sequences is already set very high. In this case you will be disappointed by the Enchanted Chrismas like me who saw the original DVD more than 20 times, listen to the original sound track CD every day, and even went to see the Broadway musical.
3.0 out of 5 stars Hey, this isn't too bad!,
Simon (Brampton, ON) - See all my reviews
Going by what other reviewers have already said, I bought this DVD as a gift for my brother and sister. Around mid-afternoon on Christmas day, we sat down to watch it. Considering that I'm a lot older than the target audience and a lot more cynical about Disney productions than I used to be, it's to the film's credit that I still enjoyed it. Not near the quality of the original, and not quite up to par with Disney's greatest direct-to-video release Aladdin and the King of Thieves, but still a nice little holiday movie.
The movie has many high points. All of the original cast is back, except for Chip, but he's actually been replaced by Haley Joel Osment. This immediately gives this movie some credibility, as the voice actors are all top notch. Joining the cast is another great actor, Tim Curry as the villain Forte. Coupled with some delicious computer animation, Forte is a very worthy villain. He towers over everyone else, accomplishes much evil even though he is bolted to the wall, and is really creepy in human form. Unfortunately, he gets the one dull song in the movie, but thankfully, all the others are top-notch fun. And the animation in general is very good; a few characters look slightly off at times (Lumiere and Cogsworth in human form in the intro, for example), but overall everything has a very warm, rich feeling.
So what are the movie's low points? The story itself doesn't disappoint, but it's nothing super special either. It won't match up to other holiday classsics like Garfield, Peanuts, Grinch, and Disney's own A Christmas Carol. And while almost everything fits within continuity with the original, it's best not to think about such things. Just because Belle wore her yellow dress to dance with the beast in the original, does it mean that was the only time she wore it? No, but using the dress again kinda tarnishes the magic of that moment in the ball room. The only glaring continuity error is at the movie's end. While the movie packs in some decent action (which I did not expect from a holiday movie), you'll find yourself wondering how everything was restored back to normal later. Other than this, I wish they had used that lovely feather duster character more instead of making her another background object. And lastly, the movie seems a little too dark at times. If your TV set is darker than normal, a lot of the fine details in the animation will be lost on you.
But overall, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas is worth owning. There's good acting and animation, and while the story isn't quite up there, it's worth a repeated viewing, and might in time join your family's lineup of traditional holiday movies.
4.0 out of 5 stars My Commentary on the Special Edition DVD,
Drew "drewnumber5" (California) - See all my reviews
The original film is such a masterpiece that it sets the bar so high for this sequel, and you have to keep this in mind when you sit down to watch this. First of all, I think it is such a delight to have the entire cast from the original back and at it. I think the film would really have been hurt if even one of the voice actors had been replaced.
I think what made the original so strong was the music and lyrics of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. Every song was beautiful, witty, and did so much to develop the story and characters. There a but a few songs in The Enchanted Christmas, and the only one that is somewhat memorable is the song "Stories", whose melody becomes a sort of musical motif that recurs throughout the film. The interesting animation sequence during this song is one of the highlights of the film, and it is nothing like anything featured in the original.
If you are a die-hard fan of Beauty and the Beast like myself, you will enjoy seeing the characters in action... but, sadly, it feels different and less magical than the original. The script is a little thin, and the voice acting isn't totally consistent with the original. For example, Robby Benson, who voices Beast, sounds very strange at times and seems to be overacting. But it seems that the Beast in general is very exaggerated throughout the film so this is probably not Benson's fault. Paige O'Hara as Belle as always has a remarkably beautiful voice, whether she is singing or talking. It is so wonderful to hear her put life into the character again.
One thing that I feel was very wrong with this film is that an entire sequence was devoted to showing how the Prince turned away the Enchantress on Christmas and became the Beast. I think that the original film did a marvelous job by telling this part of the story through the stained glass sequence in the beginning, but seeing it portrayed here again sort lacks that fairy-tale wonder to it that the images in stained glass conveyed so well.
Aside from this minor point, I believe if you enjoyed the original like myself, you won't have too hard a time of enjoying this film. Like I mentioned, it would be impossible to match the beauty and magic of the original solely in that the music just cannot match the genius of the Menken/Ashman collaboration. Even though the animation is low-budget, a wonderful soundtrack would have made the sequel great.
My commentary on the Special Edition DVD is that I thought the behind-the-scenes feature was wonderful, and although it is short, you get some really great interviews from the voice actors including Tim Curry who makes his debut as the story's new villain. You don't get to see Paul Reubens though, whose voice and character I found rather annoying. No big loss. One problem I had, however, is with the quality of the image. The Special Edition of the original on DVD has an amazing picture quality, and the colors are so lucid and spectacular, yet in the Enchanted Christmas DVD the colors are somewhat dull and faded. Aside from that, the other special features are just some nonsense that is thrown in just to satisfy the Special Edition title, but the behind-the-scenes feature is good enough for me.
On a final note, I noticed that there are Roman numerals on the side of the DVD cases of both films. Supposedly there will be a third Beauty and the Beast Special Edition coming out soon. Can't wait.

Seeing what's out there
I'm a 25 year old single mom of a 3 year old daughter who is my everything. I've tried this online dating before never had much luck, but maybe things could be different this time around, but then again it's not looking that way I am obviously a picky person so that makes it harder. I'm looking to hopefully find that special person for me and that one of a kind love. I'm hoping to find a man who isn't afraid to show their emotions/sensitive side. I like a man who still masculine, but has a romantic side to him. What woman doesn't enjoy romance =) So a little more about me is I enjoy the little things in life and living my life as much as I can because we only have one and it doesn't last as long as we would like. I'm very adventurous, outgoing, and talkative. I do tend to be a little shy at first, but that doesn't usually last long. I know what I want and I go after it so I won't waste my time or someone else's. I work a full time job at a company called pitney bowes, but next year planning to start school going for surgical technology or surgical nurse and hopefully after a few years in the field I can go for more skills to advance to surgical first assistant. I enjoy all types of music. I absolutely love going to concerts. Some other things I love are hiking, fishing, roller coasters, camping, reading, and just spending time with my daughter. I'm the kinda girl who likes to dress up nicely, but not afraid to get my hands dirty. If you like what you see or read just send me a message.. I'll be waiting =)

Dutch approve ban on religious animal slaughter
AMSTERDAM The Dutch parliament has passed a bill banning the slaughter of livestock without stunning it first, removing an exemption that has allowed Jews and Muslims to butcher animals according to their centuries-old dietary rules.
If enacted and enforced, religious groups say observant Jews and Muslims would have to import meat from abroad, stop eating it altogether, or leave the Netherlands.
However, the bill must still pass the Senate, which is unlikely before the summer recess, and the Cabinet said Monday the law may be unenforceable in its current form due in part to ambiguity introduced in a last-minute amendment.
If the Netherlands outlaws procedures that make meat kosher for Jews or halal for Muslims, it will be the second country after New Zealand to do so in recent years. It will join Switzerland, the Scandinavian and Baltic countries, whose bans are mostly traceable to pre-World War II anti-Semitism.
In New York, the Anti-Defamation League condemned Tuesday's vote in the lower house, with its national director, Abraham H. Foxman, calling it "a de facto ban on kosher slaughter" that "has repudiated the Netherlands' historic commitment to religious freedom."
"Dutch Jews must not be put to the choice of violating a central tenet of Judaism, foregoing fresh meat, or emigrating. We call upon the Dutch Senate to prevent this action from leading to a clear violation of religious freedom that has a disproportionate impact on the Jewish community," Foxman said in a statement.
Dutch Deputy Secretary of Economic Affairs and Agriculture Henk Blekers said: "The Cabinet will give its judgment over the proposed law after it has been treated by both houses."
The Cabinet will "also look at how it fits with freedom of religion," Blekers said, citing the European Convention on Human Rights.
Lawmaker Marianne Thieme of the Party for the Animals - the world's first animal rights party to win seats in a national parliament - welcomed the approval of the bill that she had first introduced in 2008, and said she was now prepared to defend it in the Senate.
"It's a great honor," she said. She has argued that sparing animals needless pain and distress outweighs religious groups' rights to follow slaughter practices "no longer of our time."
But the threat of a possible ban has led to outcry from Jewish and Muslim groups who say it infringes on their right to freedom of religion.
Around 1 million Muslims live in the Netherlands, mostly immigrants from Turkey and Morocco. The once-strong Jewish community now numbers 40,000-50,000 after more that 70 percent were deported and killed by the Nazis during World War II.
"The Dutch Jewish community is small and the Jewish kosher meat consumption is smaller still, but the impact on our community is deep and large," said a committee of rabbis pleading with parliament not to pass the law in an open letter Tuesday.
"Older Jews are frightened and wonder what the next law will be that limits their religious life. The youth are openly asking whether they still have a future that they can or want to build in the Netherlands."

8/20/09 Day 3- <st1:country-region w:st="on">Col.</st1:country-region> Springs to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Dubois</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">WY</st1:State></st1:place><o:p></o:p>
On the bikes now and anxious to put some miles behind us. Rode hard all day and made it to Dubois bucking 30-40 mph head winds and steep grades the whole way. Normal mileage went out the window and we found ourselves filling up about every 120 miles or so. We had some fourth gear grinds with the wind kicking our buts and elevation between 5,800 and over 9,000 feet. Ended up with a 512mile day. Very tired for sure.
Still we did see some great sights too. Finally the end to a long day and a room to get some rest and a shower.
8/21/09 Day 4 – <st1:City w:st="on">Dubois</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">WY</st1:State> to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Wise</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">River</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, Mt<o:p></o:p>
Today would be a little easier with only about 366 miles to roll up.<o:p></o:p>
Found a lot of construction and resultant delays today but made it into Wise River, MT. by 4:30. <o:p></o:p>
Rode through some beautiful country even though it was on pavement.
The <st1:place w:st="on">Grand Teton</st1:place> national park and mountains are always fantastic.
I like the town of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Jackson Hole</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">WY</st1:State></st1:place> too.. as long as you don't have to stay there, it's quite expensive but great little town for sure.
Found a room at the Wise River Club, oh and yes it is the only hotel in town.
No air conditioning either but a nice shower, good food and cold beer.….was very hot in the room until later in the evening. Got to park my bike under the owner's private awning too……
<o:p>Here are the days stats</o:p>
Tomorrow we start out on the actual Continental Divide trail!
Lee and Burt met up and headed out to camp so decided to split up for the rest of the trip. Here on I'll be on my own. After the dust I encountered the first day on the CD ride I was glad that I was.
8/22/09 Day 5 – <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Wise</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">River</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> to Near Yellowstone, WY – Camped out<o:p></o:p>
Got to test my camping gear for the first time, have had it for a long time but never put to use until today. Worked well and after a long day in the saddle again rolled up 311 miles in the dirt as I rode out of Mt, through ID and into WY. Very fun day with lots of differing terrain and outstanding vistas along the way.
Lots of very nice ranches too, this is the "Canyon Ranch" and is top drawer to say the least.
I stopped in Dell, MT. for gas and food before again heading South toward <st1:place w:st="on">Yellowstone</st1:place>.
<o:p>Out of Montana and into Idaho..</o:p>
Entering Wyoming......love those bored hunters....
The other side of this water gate..
Major forest fire here, I see the renewal already starting with new trees starting to show some green.
I cruise on down the Western side of Yellowstone and end up in the Southern part to camp for the night at camp flagg.
I ask about rooms....nope but got some cabins.....how much.....$196 for the night.............how about camping...oh, yeah there $26.....sounds good.
I set up not far from the showers and food....
Later on I had a guest stop in to check out the "new guy"....any food bud?
I turn in early and had no problem getting right to sleep. Thought I might since this was my inaugural camping deal.....I will say this is a hell of lot of work but I slept pretty well all things considered.
8/23/09 – Day 6 Yellowstone to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Pinedale</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">WY</st1:State></st1:place> -164 Miles<o:p></o:p>
I got up at the crack of dawn and broke camp (sounds easy but is a lot of work….especially getting everything down to the smallest size like I had it so it fits on my bike)<o:p></o:p>
Was on the road at 6:50am and rode on South East. After about an hour I stopped for breakfast at a Dude Ranch….hey it was right on the way and they had hot Coffee per the sign…<o:p></o:p>
Sure enough, this young lady fixes me right up with a short stack and coffee.
After some food I felt much better and headed out again.
Little did I know that this view was going to become a more common sight.
Then it clears up some and I enjoy some more beautiful vistas
Oh, yeah and then there was this to keep you looking every chance you get...
Rode some roads today that were deep gravel with heavy water ledges making it a "full time job" just keeping the bike under me. I made it to Pinedale about 12:30 when the rains came….
looked up at the mountains I was heading for and they were socked in so I got a room and worked on the ride report. Forecast for tomorrow doesn't look much better but "PM" thunderstorms may mean if I leave early thirty I can make some good mileage…….<o:p></o:p>
Wish me luck, more as it happens.
Waitin' for more!
Me, too! Can you identify the road that had the nasty gravel? I hate gravel.
Also, can you comment on the Yamaha's long-distance highway performance? Colorado Springs to Dubois, Wyo, and then to Wise River, Mont., is one helluva highway haul on a 250.
My bike runs interstate speeds no problem and once I opened up the intake and exhaust with aftermarket slip on then added the fuel mapping it really woke the bike up. It is no problem pulling down 500 mile days on this little bike. The rub comes with high altitude and looooong steep grades you have in the rockies. I was fortunate in that I added more fuel across the rpm range and this little bike just pulled like a 650! Rode with a KLR all the way no problem. I'm sure he could have outran me if he wanted to but I was able to cruise 65-70 even at 9,000 feet. Loaded down with two weeks gear and full camp gear as well I felt it was extremely good. I am more than pleased with it.
Thank you. I have a friend who is considering that bike.
Sounds like Union Pass Road is where you encountered the gravel. I drove it on four wheels a few weeks ago, and noted that ... and the mosquitoes, which were unbearable at that time.
Enough of that ... more RR! I can't wait to hear about the leg from Pinedale/Boulder to South Pass and across Wyoming.
Pouring rain here in Idaho Falls, not too far from Pinedale. I'll be thinking of you ... hoping you don't hit too much rain and mud hereafter. Holler my way if you need any assistance.
Thanks, rain is coming down in buckets here too, hate to see that cuz I know it will be challenging enough without mud and water to navigate.
Great report 10Cup! I'm happy to see you made the long run north up the slab from the Springs so smoothly.
Looking forward to following the rest of your trip!

Woke up around 5am and started to get going, was a little worried about the weather and what the roads might be like after the heavy rains of yesterday and last night.
Very cool this morning with fog to top it off so had to be pretty careful early morning. I was delighted to see that the sandy roads were all but dry, no dust and good traction.
I kept a close eye on this build up as I was heading right for it but missed it just to the south.
Right away the landscape started to get interesting
but since it was open range cattle were always close by and many staked out their spot right in the middle of the road.
Pronghorns were everywhere too; saw literally hundreds of them by days end mostly in herds but with an occasional buck off by itself.
<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sunrise</st1:place></st1:City> out on the prairie was a welcome and beautiful sight as it burned off the early morning fog and added some welcome warmth to the day.
I rolled into Atlantic City, WY mid morning and it was very much asleep. Neat buildings and history though.
Then more endless miles out on the prairie, these roads were a blast and I ran my speed up over 50 at times way too much fun!<o:p></o:p>
I had been seeing foot prints and bicycle tracks in the sand for miles as I left Atlantic City and sure enough I come up on four guys and a gal that were hiking all the way to Mexico on the Continental Divide. Not sure what they were drinking but from the looks of things it was starting to wear off ..seriously they said they were having a great time. They snapped my picture as well.
Next I run up on three mountain bikers they too were on the Divide and were going to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mexico</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Two of them did not stop but I did visit with Bruce, nice guy and obviously in great shape.
Later in the day I would pass yet one more mountain biker peddling away.<o:p></o:p>
I gas it and enjoy more miles of this sandy double track. After a couple hours of this I stop and attend to business and try to get creative at picture taking with out a tri-pod .not too good.
Just to give you an idea of the openness of this area here is another shot. I was real glad I was not hiking or mountain biking though!<o:p></o:p>
Next up Wild Horses .they were very wary and took off like a cannon shot as soon as they saw me. I saw several herds of them and all took off like mad at first sight.<o:p></o:p>
The road started to deteriorate a bit with a lot more sand.
I was finding that my fuel was getting pretty low and just as I hit the interstate for the short jog into <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Rawlins</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">WY</st1:State></st1:place>. I spot another motorcyclist by the side of the road out of gas. Big cruiser said his other two riding partners would miss him and come back he was well hoping. I looked at the GPS and it was 5.6 miles to a fuel stop and so I told him that I would look for his Goldwing and BMW riding buddies there, if not I would bring him back some fuel. Sure enough they were not there so I filled up and headed back to help the guy, just as I got there they were pulling away oh well an extra 10 miles to help a fellow biker was no big deal.<o:p></o:p>
When I pulled into to gas pump I had 226 miles on my GPS and took 3.1 gallons of gas in a 3.6 gallon tank .almost had to break out my two MSR bottles I keep in my sweet cheeks seat expander, best $39 I ever spent!
Got a bite to eat and then fueled up I again headed South. Rolling around a corner I see this open range is or can be very dangerous..
I ride on another hour and come around another curve and am awestruck by what I see.. Aspen trees, standing tall like soldiers. What a sight.<o:p></o:p>
I have been lucky today missing all the many rain cells in the mountains and see I may still get wet as I see what is across the way.
Then I come up on <st1:City w:st="on">Battle Mountain</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">WY</st1:State> (not to be confused with <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Battle</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Mountain</st1:PlaceType> in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Colorado</st1:place></st1:State> on the TAT). Interesting history and great vistas too.<o:p></o:p>
Next I hit the WY/CO border and the views again start to change.
Welcome to <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Colorado</st1:place></st1:State>.
I roll into Steamboat Springs, CO. a tired puppy after 371 miles today.
Got a room and some food, checked over the bike and took a shower. If everything goes well tomorrow I hope to make <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Salida</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">CO</st1:State></st1:place>.<o:p></o:p>
Stay tuned <o:p></o:p>
This outstanding report, sir!
How bad was that sandy stretch? Cause you any trouble other than the usual?
Looks like you are headed quickly to NM--be aware that it has been raining in norhern NM and Brazos Ridge (south of CO border across highway 17 south to El Rito and Cuba to Grants could be well--muddy). Just be prepared. My post of the CDR from this month can be found at the link below (updates are scattered thru the posts as I did them as I rode) if you need something to give you a feel for those areas when they are wet. Ride safe.
CD Ride Day 8
8/25/09 – Day 8 Steamboat Springs to Salida, Co. 249 Miles<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Got up and checked the radar, 40% chance today but looked like I might be able to miss the rain as it was just moving out of my intended path to Salida.<o:p></o:p>
Morning was very nice and the sun came out for a beautiful sun rise over the mountains in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Colorado</st1:place></st1:State>.
Roads were much more technical today and the average speed was way down as was the total mileage. But great roads and good to have a little more difficulty too. Biggest problem was "BOVINE".seems they had camped out on the roads this morning and would take some careful negotiation to get around them.
After an hour or so I came to my first of two water crossings of the day, this one was deep. Water was over the header of the engine and I noticed the change in the exhaust note as it covered the header. Made it through ok and was on my way again.
Roads became much more technical now with steep ascents and descents along with ruts from when ranchers had traversed them when wet. Had to really stay on my game as they were very narrow over the mountain and going off the side would end my trip for sure.
Got into Breckenridge, <st1:place w:st="on">CO.</st1:place> mid morning and the views were magnificent! Got up over 11.5K In altitude as well.
Came across this old railroad water tower from the 1800's on my way over the mountain.
Then the roads turned into fast gravel and I pushed to make time. Great fun again of course as I negotiated them.<o:p></o:p>
Ran across more mountain bikers on my way into Salida and the roads narrowed and became very steep with constant tight switch backs coming down the mountain into Salida. I stopped by "Fat Tees" but they were closed for three days....no T Shirt I guess.
Got a room at the trusty Circle R motel, some good Mexican and did necessary maintenance on the bike. <o:p></o:p>
Tomorrow I might be able to hit <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New Mexico</st1:place></st1:State> but will be a very long day if I do.<o:p></o:p>
More as it happens.<o:p></o:p>
Subscribed. Great ride, really enjoying it. I'm interested in your windscreen. I'll bet that helps on the long paved sections :lurk
10 Cup,
Nice ride, thanks for sharing it. I clicked on this report because I hope to do the CD ride myself sometime. Tomorrow I plan to purchase an 08 WR250R if the bike checks out as advertised. Your input has been timely for me thanks. Can you give me the low down on the windscreen?

SPOILER ALERT: I can locate the 1 karaoke bar in any city (dramatic pause) w/o an app or widget. ALSO:There's nothing wrong w/ being friends
Okay, so check it out. I'm moderately to maybe really intelligent; but what I can say is that I am decidedly nerdy ( I prefer Otaku, but I digress). I make no apologies for that. Your accent (if you have one), while charming, will be on a timer of sorts, its' spell temporary. Your physical beauty will indeed fade; the little girl you baby-sat /tutored, will be the hottest thing around in 9-10 years. Pictures of you, scantily clad on the beach, with all of your less attractive friends wont do it for me. I may even fancy the friend who's slightly out of focus ( imagination and all)...just being honest. Provocative gestures, sexual innuendos-eh...heard them all, seen them all. But the woman (As I have always said for many moons) who inspires a song...a good song, we're talking 80's rock/90's RB ballad, is the woman for whom I'll traverse the desert for. She will be the reason why Mario or any of our other love struck 8-bit heroes, continue to jump over endless chasms and brave unfathomable odds to be with. I "must" be compelled to get on the microphone at the local (or non) karaoke bar and thoroughly embarrass myself for her....and I'm all for embarrassing myself if there's a good reason. I "must" feel some form of conflicting pull when the guys ask me out to the local Sports bar, but "you" want to go to the park. ( During playoffs, or basketball season, you'll probably lose that one...again, just being honest). When some random woman walks up, to solicit my number (even if it's just in my imagination/ dreams) I need to want to tell her all about "you". If she wears a lab coat of any kind, I'm most likely going to pay for dinner every single time, this and I can almost guarantee her that I won't forget the important 'couple' holidays. She, when asked if she minds backpacking, and staying at a hostel, will scoff at the fact that I even asked if she minded in the first place. Yes, I fully want to be attracted to her, but as all of the Greek and current Gods as my witness, if her brain is just as, or dare we say more beautiful than her outward appearance, then that is the woman that I'll attempt to marry, and we'll have many clones...that I'll name after my favorite painters (J/K...or am I *wink*) So, I'm running late for a Birthday celebration, and my friend will kill me...or use lots of obscenities,if I' more than unfashionably late. ( updated: I was more then fashionably late and yes I was subject to, what my aunt use to say, " a good cussin".) Live Long and Prosper. Amendments coming soon:
Camping , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Video games , Volunteering , Watching sports
Basketball, Dancing, Football, Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Running, Swimming
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Horses, Reptiles
I want a parrot. An African Gray that I'll name Raphael. If I get two, I'll name one Pacos...He will only curse in espanol.
Some other viewpoint
I'm a globetrotter. I've been to many places and intend to see many more before my ticker expires. Every place has a unique charm all its' own.
My musical taste is diverse; my I-pod library leads some to have "wtf", moments. The Walking Dead, Reading, dancing, Karaoke, Live music, heights, just being active in general.
Alright...lets see: I love LOVE to travel; the prospect of going to a distant and foreign land always does it for me. Reading: I'm currently re-reading multiple books. It's a bad habit. I've just started experimenting in the kitchen. Not a word...

Since its publication in 2008, Fiona Maazel's first novel, Last Last Chance, has won a small and cultlike following, myself included. I love the book because it is constantly surprising—blackly funny but permeated by great sadness, like the fiction of Barry Hannah or Donald Antrim—besides which every sentence in it shines like gold. The story of an über-rich drug addict and her massively dysfunctional family (they smoke crack, worship Norse gods, release an apocalyptic super-plague), Last Last Chance is a smarter and bleaker book than it gets credit for, but it's still, at bottom, a comedy: Each reader can decide for herself how much of the dark stuff to take or leave. Woke Up Lonely is another wunderkammer, a deeply felt and wildly original novel that repays the attention it demands, and once read won't be soon

Re: Why is Turkey Bad for JRT's?Posted by: Heather Reid

In Reply to: Why is Turkey Bad for JRT's?
: I read in last November's Archive that Turkey contained L-Tryptophan which is a calmative. I gave my female JRT some pieces of Turkey that I was having for lunch (about 5 pieces-small). I won't give her anymore turkey from now on. She seemed fine, but did vomit later in the day. Could the turkey have caused her vomiting? I do give her small slices of baby carrots during the day if she obeys a commend as well as her regular dog food (Nutro). She did seem tired by 9:30pm but she normally sacks out around that time anyway. Are they're any other meats which dogs shouldn't be fed?

Can a Vista coupon save holiday PC sales?
- Related Stories
Keeping Microsoft in the frameMay 18, 2006
Vista delay could sting PC makersMarch 21, 2006
Vista debut hits a delayMarch 21, 2006
Already, PC manufacturers and retailers are touting some models as "Vista-capable." And as the computer industry gears up for the all-important end-of-year sales period, there is likely to be even more focus on the not-yet-finished update to Windows.
Microsoft is planning some sort of promotion to allow those who buy PCs this year to move easily and affordably to Vista when it ships next year. Windows unit head Kevin Johnson told CNET News.com in May that the company was looking into offering some sort of technology guarantee for holiday PC buyers.
"There's likely to be something, and they're working on specifics now," Johnson said. However, Microsoft has yet to share details on what exactly it plans to offer.
Some analysts expect Microsoft to offer coupons for free, or nearly free, updates to Vista. However, the upgrade may only be to the basic version. That would mean customers will have to pay more for the Home Premium version of Vista, which includes the new Aero graphical interface, Media Center software and other features.
Alternatively, Microsoft could offer upgrades to Home Premium from today's Media Center Edition.
"Coupons make perfect sense," Endpoint Technologies Associates analyst Roger Kay said. "They ought to do it."
Cloud over sales
But NPD Group analyst Stephen Baker said it's not clear that even a free upgrade would be enough to keep PC sales from being dented significantly.
Microsoft had originally hoped to have Vista on sale for the November-December holiday season, even removing features in order to try to make that goal. However, in March, the company said the software wouldn't be ready for new PCs until January. That has cast a cloud over this year's holiday sales outlook.
"It adds a lot of uncertainty," Baker said. "It gives (gift shoppers) a reason to say, 'I won't buy a PC this holiday season. Maybe I will buy a flat-screen television.'"
Piecing together Vista
Microsoft knew the minute it announced the Vista delay that it would have to come up with some sort of a program to help out retailers and PC companies, said Samir Bhavnani, an analyst at Current Analysis. Such an offer could help sway some people to buy a PC rather than spend their holiday budget on some other type of electronics.
"This will (encourage) that small percentage of people that are waiting to make a purchase," Bhavnani said.
Microsoft has continued to say that it is still finalizing the Vista offer. Some say, however, that the software maker and PC companies could just be staying mum about it so as not to hurt back-to-school season sales.
Kay said he believes the coupon offer will start in late October, noting that Microsoft probably has no incentive to lay out its plans until the back-to-school shopping season winds down at the end of September.
"Talking about it right now is probably not a good idea," Kay said.
The key question is whether Microsoft's offer is good enough to persuade buyers who are on the fence over whether to get a PC later this year. Kay said that with the exception of Windows 95, consumers have largely not changed their buying habits because of a pending operating system or chip introduction.
However, Baker said that customers may think twice about a PC purchase, even with an option to move to Vista, as they could be leery of having to upgrade their computers shortly after getting them.
"People don't want to buy ahead of such a big event, when they know having to do it on their own could cause problems," he said. Baker noted that sales expectations have already been somewhat muted.
"Everyone I've talked to, their expectation is for flattish sales this holiday," Baker said.

- Consumer upgrade to Vista? Bad Bad Idea....
- Considering that critical applications on the PC such as the antivirus, firewall,other security applications, CD & DVD writing apps will no longer function under the upgraded system then what is the customer going to do?
Are the Manufacturers going to give free updates to the licensed apps that normally come with the system? Are they going to be preloaded on the system or is the consumer going to have to get the system on the internet unsecured to go download them?
Look you missed the timeline, get over it. Having the typical consumer upgrade an OS and all of it's critical applications is a catastrophe in the waiting.
The ONLY way to make this a viable path is to deliver an image of the new OS and all of it's apps like a restore disk set. Then all the consumer has to worry about is backing up their data, yeah that'll happen.

- Restore disk?
- "The ONLY way to make this a viable path is to deliver an image of the new OS and all of it's apps like a restore disk set."
When windows 95 came out, you got the OS disk, then it moved to no OS disk but the OS was on a restore disk. Recently, HP has been selling PC's with NO disk. That's right, no disk. You're supposed to create a backup and burn it to CD. Don't expect me to buy it.

- Vista Delay will hurt PC sales
- Consumers aware of the delay including myself would wait until Vista comes installed in a New PC. I doubt they will take the chance to install it later and run into problems that will lead to more complaints to both the Manufacturer and Microsoft. Why would consumers wait for a free Basic Vista Upgrade when they could get the Full Home Version after the holidays? PC sales may have excellent discounts this holiday in order to move PC sales but even if Vista was released I would wait to hear people's complaints about the new OS and make my final decision to purchase a new PC based on how stable Vista really is.

- Strategy
- It seems to me, as I have observed it, that MS strategy is to lower the purchase price of Vista via coupons and maybe other deals, to get as many upgrades as possible.
If that don't work, Vendors are on their own, and Xbox 360 is the backup plan.
As I see it PS3 is better, soon it will come out, and the real competition will begin.
Will see if this works.

- Personally, I want them to take their time with vista. I want them to make the most stable, secure, easy to use operating system they can. If that means waiting, then I'll wait. XP still works and so does linux. I have them both loaded on one machine and they get along just fine.

I can do without the "excitement" of installing a significantly different operating system on my computer.
Even going to WinXP to WinXP SP2 I had to install a number of HP-specific patches from HP's web site.

- I have never based a PC purchase based on which version of Windows I'll be getting. I think Microsoft and the computer industry is suffering from Windowitis. It's only an operating system for god's sake. It's not even a good operating system. You have to suffer it's need for updates. If there was even something marginally better Windows would quickly became history.

than Windows, and someone else claimed Apple was stupid for
abandoning their OS and basing OS X on Unix. By the way, my next

This was an amazing experience. The tour guide Mayan and bus driver Ceasar were excellent. Mayan gave us so much information and even showed us maps etc on her iPad to help us understand a bit more of where we were going. The hotel in thenCanadian side was brilliant. Niagra falls was stunning. A really special experience which I would highly recommend.

From Our Editors
Near the end of the 18th century, Colonel Samuel Hugh Hawkins and the people of Americus decided a new train line was needed to ensure that their town would continue to grow and prosper. The resulting line, called the Savannah, Americus, and Montgomery, helped spur development throughout rural Georgia, and the historic SAM Shortline trains that now traverse its rails pay tribute to both the early line and its founder with the name. Vintage cars from 1949, transformed into comfortable, air-conditioned passenger liners, steer passengers through Georgia's landscape in five tours, with layovers encouraging riders to explore the towns of Plains, Americus, Leslie, and Cordele. A stop in Plains, the hometown of President Jimmy Carter, grants an up-close view of the stateman's boyhood home, campaign museum, and White House replica built entirely from peanuts. Between stops, a well-stocked commissary car lets rail-riders feast on à la carte items, including snacks, hot and cold beverages, and refreshing ice-cream treats.

Collier sheriff's deputy says he was fired for failing alcohol test but was not drinking at the time
NAPLES - A Collier County sheriff's deputy who made headlines in 2008 after downing a pint of bourbon, flipping his sport utility vehicle on Livingston Road, and avoiding a DUI charge was fired in April after he says he failed a random alcohol test.
The Sheriff's Office did not release details about what lead to 44-year-old George Otto "Tray" Radford III's termination, because officials say it is entirely "medical related." Patient privacy rights are protected under the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, called HIPAA.
"I know that in the recent past I have not given the agency reason to have faith in me," Radford wrote in a Feb. 24, letter to Sheriff Kevin Rambosk. "I believe that with my training and almost 14 years of experience, I would continue to be an asset to the Collier County Sheriff's Office and not a risk."
In a telephone interview Wednesday, Radford said he was in violation of a "last chance agreement" when he tested positive for alcohol during a random drug test in late January.
Although Radford admits he has had trouble with alcohol in the past — he said he has not been classified as an alcoholic, however — he denies drinking in the days and weeks leading up to the test. In fact, Radford said he hadn't had a drink in nearly a year.
He said he doesn't know why he failed the test. He paid $150 to have the sample retested, but he said that came up positive too. The sample could have been inadvertently switched or contaminated, Radford said.
"You know, I did consult an attorney, not for anything other than information, and he told me there are many, many ways that could have happened," Radford said.
In addition to failing the drug test, Radford said he admitted taking NyQuil cold medicine on a couple of occasions, which was technically against the agreement, and failing to track his alcoholic anonymous meetings.
In a letter to Radford dated April 1, Rambosk called the situation "regrettable."
"I don't have any ill feelings toward the Sheriff's Office, and I love the people I worked with," said Radford, who was hired by the agency in 1998. "Sheriff Rambosk, I think he's a decent guy. I'm not a malice-type person."
Radford made headlines in 2008 when he was demoted after being involved in an alcohol-related crash on Sept. 17, 2007.
That evening, Radford was driving his SUV north on Livingston Road when he rear-ended a Mustang. His SUV spun clockwise, struck a curb and overturned.
Although Radford told investigators that he was "tapped" by another vehicle, which caused him to rear-end the Mustang, Florida Highway Patrol troopers found no evidence that he had been struck.
During an internal interview, Radford admitted to drinking about a pint of Jack Daniels or Jim Beam bourbon straight from the bottle in the two hours leading up to the crash. He was drinking alone at home.
Radford had been transported to the hospital by the time Florida Highway Patrol troopers arrived on scene to investigate the crash. FHP officials said at the time that the Collier deputies on scene did not give their "full cooperation" in identifying the one witness — another deputy — who could have placed Radford behind the wheel at the time of the crash.
Without the "wheel witness," the troopers could not continue the criminal DUI investigation, and could not require a breath or blood sample from Radford.
Radford was suspended for three days after missing two days of work in March 2009. Records indicate his family had left him, and Radford admits to going on a two-day binge around that time. He said he hasn't had a drink since.
"It is apparent that these personal issues have resurfaced causing an irresponsible work performance and has impacted his ability to come to work fit and ready for duty," Chief Jim Bloom wrote in an April memo.
Radford earned $60,589.62 at the time of his termination.
Although Radford said there were others at the Sheriff's Office who had similar problems as he did, but didn't receive the same discipline, he said he's trying to make peace with his termination. He is getting by working a construction job, but hasn't ruled out working in law enforcement again.
"I'm sorry the way it ended," Radford said. "I really enjoyed my job."

Is this a MIDI guitar? Or the USB is just for guitar sounds?
- Asked by Jesse S from Woodbury
Squier by Fender® USB Stratocaster Guitar
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Hi Jesse,
This is not a MIDI guitar. The guitar audio signal is being digitized and goes directly into your iOS device or computer via the supplied cables. You can also monitor what your playing along with backing tracks since the built-in audio interface in the guitar is bi-directional, meaning it transmits and receives audio.
Hope this helps.

1. Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat.
2. Rub the skin side of each fillet with olive oil and then season to taste with salt, pepper and granulated garlic.
3. Make sure your grill grates are clean, hot and oiled up.
4. On the prepared grill place the fillets skin side down and cook for roughly 7 minutes.
5. Check if the fish sticks and if it does it is usually a sign it is not ready to be flipped.
6. Once the skin is brown and crispy check if it releases from the grill easily.
7. Turn the fillets over, paint with SFQ sauce on the skin side only and cook roughly for two minutes more.
8. Serve hot.

From the Archives: Evolution as a Scientific Theory
In common English usage, "theory" means something like "guess" or "hunch". In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
What does the fossil record show?
Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.
What is Evolution?
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
What is the genetic evidence for human evolution?
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.

From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all. New Atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins and creationist writers such as Ken Ham seem to have arrived at consensus on this.
