The Bridge Street Inn -Cambria, California's only hostel
When the sun slips below the Pacific and the landscape loses its definition, the stars are still hidden beneath twilight's blanket, it's time to check into the Bridge Street Inn.
The 110 year old Bridge Street Inn keeps the unique Central Coast vibe alive with its commitment to urban nature and the human spirit. When guests step onto the property the first thing they'll notice are the gardens. Guests can enjoy the gardens while cooking up veggies from the local farmers market on the BBQ; watch the humming birds take in nectar from the drought tolerant flowers and succulents around the picnic table, relax in the comfy lawn chairs, or rock in the old-time porch swing framed by grape vines.
The human spirit can be as impressive as the Big Sur seashore or a fat elephant seal when guests from around the world start sharing their adventures and art in the common area. Guests can grab one of the two guitars and share music, introduce other guests to favorite new bands through Spotify and Pandora, share stories, play Scrabble, and get rowdy with a physical game of Categories at the circular dinner table.
The Bridge Street Inn's common room has plenty of thoughtful entertainment, aka non TV fun. The library has a wide range of literature. An example of what a guest can find on the book shelf: Far Side cartoons, Federico Garcia Lorca poetry, The New Yorker magazine, and Revolution from Within by Gloria Steinem. I'm afraid to say it but yes, the BSI does have high speed internet for the guest who wants to sit in their room and quietly stream South Park.
The Bridge Street Inn provides a fully stocked kitchen to create a gourmet dinner with the produce you bought at the local grocery or farmers market. The kitchen has a guest refrigerator, filtered water, gas burning stove/oven, and an impressive seasoned cast iron collection. The cast iron collection has been pieced together from various garage and thrift stores from Idaho to California. The BSI has made a commitment not to poison it's guests with perfluorooctanoic acid and C – 8 found in nonstick cookware.
The Bridge Street Inn is closed from 10:30 AM to 5 PM. We have the same attitude as most of our guests. We all came to the Central Coast to adventure and not to sit indoors. At 10:30 AM we tidy up the hostel. Once the hostel has a clean cozy feel to it we put away the cleaning supplies and turn into adventurers. You will find us catching waves, hiking Big Sur, bicycling the Highway 1 and working on art just like you.

A Poem for my Mom Who's Son still Pee's in his Bed
Sometimes my thoughts
embarrass her
like a little kid who still
pee's in his bed at age 12.
Whose sleep and dreams
are too peaceful
to be tossed away for protocol.
I'm an adult.
I still piss on myself
but in my head.
My mind mentally pisses
a stream of thought
after thought
after thought
into the toilet ears
of normality.
I would rather piss
on myself
and lie
in a urine soaked bed
of imagination
than be disturbed
by the dictates
of social norms.
My mom
always blushes
and with her apology worded wash cloth
cleans up my mental mess.
The Baby Boomers Dead Decade
I watch Leave it to Beaver.
I watch I Dream of Jeannie.
I watch a dead decade.
I pay for each syndication.
I listen to the Beatles.
I listen to the Doors.
I listen to a dead decade.
I pay for each new box set.
Pink Floyd, the Eagles, Page/Plant tickets
I want to relive a dead decade.
I pay top price for floor seating.
Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon
make more money now off their dead decade.
I financially support a dead person.
The 90's are passing me by.
This decade can't die
leaving behind its little contribution of gay rights, Generation X, age of information and 90210.
How am I suppose to market my generation
with this 90's rubbish?
I need a revolution, a dead politician, a Vietnam, psychedelic rock, and free love.
How am I going to steal my children's money
with my blasé dead decade?

Mechanistic Lover and the Video Game Kids
She's almost beautiful,
Her touch hard but squeezable
With enough body friction
plastic becomes somewhat
malleable, feelable and almost
Pamela-Anderson real.
She's a machine.
I'll call her Veronica.
She trained me to be the lover that I am
like the Nintendo game that taught me to be Super Mario.
Veronica has 3 speeds:
slow, medium, and fast
powered by double D.
Before each practice
standing naked in front of a picture
dreamily looking at the ideal girl parts
I mentally prepare by chanting a mantra,
"Veronica's love reservoir will not
vibrate me into premature ejaculated ecstasy.
I must learn to satisfy the woman
with multiple orgasms."
Squirt, Squirt
Damn It!!!
Practice after practice
I finally prevail.
I can now wear down the vibration
before the vibration wears down me.
Like the video games that teach kids
to be efficient killers.
Veronica taught me to be a better lover.
I am now ready to point my mechanized sex pistol
at something real.

Ones and Zeros and the Lack of You
Veronica in the email you wrote about your anger
and our dysfunction.
The one's and zero's filtered through your computer,
others' computers, and finally my computer
does not express who we are.
Printing your e-mail I see
what you learned in grade school.
What you forgot, Microsoft Word fills in the rest.
Our lives took on more than symbolism.
Please write me a letter.
I want to see how stable
your pen is in perfectly shaped sentences.
Then watch the words take on your madness
with each crossed out thought
and sloppy caricature.
Remember last winter when you went to get
the mail and the kids, Bob and Bev, locked the house door.
At first you tried knocking politely then smashed
the window pane to let yourself in.
I want to see your fingerprints'
images smudged in black ink.
Do you recall holding hands in bed
while reading?
The comfortable silence between the two of us.
Not always having to
entertain with sex, booze, or conversation.
Only needing two books and touch to sustain
I want to smell and see where you are.
Take me to Denny's with the odor of cigarette smoke
and coffee stained saturated paper.
Do you remember eating mozzarella cheese sticks
at 2:30AM after dancing?
I want to find the short black curly hair
that shows up in the oddest places.
To recall one last time the night in
Salt Lake City where we impregnated our
dreams into our heads and bodies that eventually
blossomed into who we were—man and wife.
If nothing else, a piece of DNA to show my friends
"this is you."
I want to see a tear stain
where love use to be.
I want to hold as much of you
as I can one last time.
Promise me our relationship
was more to you
then ones and zeros.

One Week, the Universe, and the Internet
The universe takes her happy vibes to my open heart
Internet carries her smile.
I get to see her white teeth.
Texts deliver her erotic thoughts.
We play together in our heads.
E-mail shows pictures of poetry.
Photographed words awaken our breath.
I'm falling in love
falling in love
with a woman I'd only had a week to hug.

Gold Prices Settle Above $1,400
TheStreet) -- Gold prices broke to record highs Monday as investors piled into the precious metal. Gold for December delivery settled $5.50 higher at $1,403.20 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange and was continuing higher in after-hours trading. The gold price Monday has traded as high as $1,407.20 and as low as $1,386.60.The U.S. dollar index was adding 0.62% to $77.02 while the euro was losing 0.83% to $1.39 vs. the dollar. The spot gold price was up more than $13, according to Kitco's gold index. Gold prices broke through the psychologically important resistance level of $1,400 an ounce midday Monday as investors took advantage of early morning price dips to buy the precious metal. Gold prices rallied 2.7% last week after the Federal Reserve announced its $600 billion asset purchase program and shook off mild profit-taking to break to new highs. Helping spur gold's rally today are investor worries over the health of the eurozone economy. Phil Streible, senior market strategist at Lind-Waldock, says the "spreads between Ireland and Germany are widening, which is telling you that Ireland is become more and more risky." Streible says that the Fed's bond purchase program has provide clarity and stability for the U.S. market and that now the focus is turning on Europe. George Gero, senior vice president at RBC Wealth Management, says that gold could hit $1,500 by the end of the year as record open interest provides good support for technical trading. But not all analysts are as optimistic. Some are skeptical that gold's current rally can last. Gold "remains vulnerable to risk reduction and short-covering rallies in the dollar," says James Moore, analyst at thebulliondesk.com. Moore, however, does believes that investors will continue to move into gold as protection against the Fed's looser monetary policy. Investors turn to gold as a hedge against inflation, which many fear will be the inevitable long-term result of the Fed's bond purchase program, as more dollars in circulation reduce the currency's value. The U.S. is coming under some heat from the international community for its quantitative easing, round two, which is set to take center stage at the G-20 meeting in South Korea later this week. The worry is that the U.S. is purposely pushing the dollar lower in order to improve its exports and help the economy, while other higher-yielding currencies like the Brazilian real rise in value. Although the meeting isn't expected to change Federal Reserve policy, it will highlight the fragility of global currencies and only increase gold's appeal as hard money that retains value. Recent comments in the Financial Times from Robert Zoellick, president of the World Bank, have only supported that thesis. Zoellick said that there needs to be a global "co-operative monetary system" involving multiple currencies as well as using gold as an "international reference point of market expectations about inflation, deflation and future currency values." Zoellick says that gold is not old money but that markets are using the metal as a viable alternative to paper currencies. Jeffrey Christian, managing director of the CPM Group, says that using gold as a barometer of market expectations is "nonsense. Gold prices reflect both inflation and various currencies' values only partially and imperfectly, because gold responds to many other factors as well" such as investment demand and supply/demand constraints.NEW YORK (

A top performance car made by mercury. It accels in street races, especially against fast cars such as jeep wranglers and town & country minivans. The Cougar comes equipped with a matching interior, comfortable back seats, and a speedometer that goes up to 210mph. The cougar can easily get more horsepower by getting a new exhaust system...but thats unnecessary because it comes standard with a V-4 engine and you can pay extra to upgrade to a V-6...

A piece of feces so big and hard that it requires multiple flushes before it thinks about going down. And yes, it does think. Saying a cougar "has teeth" can be interpreted to mean it's particularly big, tough, or nasty looking.
John looked in the toilet and exclaimed, "That cougar's got teeth! Better watch it doesn't eat ya!"

Going Leafing...
I also had my GoPro taking video of the balloon when it popped and got some incredible images of the latex balloon bursting. My favorite is the one where it just starts showing the first sign of popping, but most people prefer the later ones when it really gets shredding. The latex dust "sphere" left behind is also pretty cool.

|Paphiopedilum Philippinense
The large slipper orchid I got in the spring for my birthday sent up its first spike and bloomed over the New Year! I got this from Fantasy Orchids in Louisville, CO which is just an incredible greenhouse. I bought it out-of-bloom, so this was especially exciting to witness as it progressed over the month of December and in to the 2014. The technical name is Paphiopedilum Philippinense and they are known for their long petals which are currently at 7" on the first bloom.

Writers, Studios Set to Resume Talks
The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers said late Friday that they would resume talks Nov. 26 on a new contract for 10,500 writers to replace the one that expired Oct. 31. The two sides announced the plan in identical statements, a rare show of unity.
"It's in everybody's best interest to get this thing over," one top studio executive said Friday. "There is a significant amount of work to be done, but you can't resolve anything if you're not talking."
Union officials, however, said that resuming the negotiations didn't mean writers would call off their strike, including plans for a massive march along Hollywood Boulevard on Tuesday.
To keep the pressure on studios, guild officials said they intended to keep staging pickets and rallies in L.A. and
Both sides have been under pressure to return to the bargaining table after talks broke down Nov. 4 amid disputes over how much writers should be paid when their work is distributed on new media such as the Internet.
Although it was unclear which side took the initiative to revive the talks, the decision was mutual, according to people close to the matter. The breakthrough came about as a result of back-channel talks between prominent television writers and senior executives, including
Clearing the way for talks to restart was a decision this week by Nick Counter, the studios' chief negotiator, to drop his demand that talks not occur as long as writers were on strike.
The strike was starting to cause economic pain.
At least two dozen TV shows have come to a grinding halt. The late-night shows, including "The Tonight Show With
On Friday, the writers strike halted a high-profile movie: Columbia Pictures' "
The disruption of production threatened the livelihoods of hundreds of crew members as well as administrative assistants and other workers who risked the loss of their jobs when several studios suspended production deals with top writer-producers. Both sides are motivated to resolve the dispute before it disrupts next year's pilot season.
Scores of businesses that feed on the area's $30-billion entertainment industry also saw their businesses take a hit.
Many directors said they wanted to hold off on their own union's talks in support of the writers, and such celebrities as
Studios also confronted an unusually strong show of unity from a group that in the past had been prone to internal bickering. Leading TV writer-producers, known as showrunners, have played a key role in the strike. While some have been working behind the scenes to edit their shows, few have crossed picket lines to resume writing, forcing the early shutdown of several programs.
"The studios have underestimated the resolve of the guild," said Carlton Cuse, one of the showrunners of ABC's
The studios were applying their own pressure to have their showrunners report to work. CBS Corp. and 20th Century Fox Television quickly sent breach-of-contract letters to several dozen writer-producers who had refused to fulfill their production duties.
Among those who sought to jump-start talks were top talent agents, who met with guild leaders last week. Even
When they meet the Monday after Thanksgiving, the two sides may be able to build on progress that was made in the talks that ended Nov. 4, the first day of serious negotiations. Writers had agreed to drop their demand for doubling DVD pay, while studios had for the first time offered a proposal for paying writers for the streaming of shows online, though they sharply disagreed on terms.

Thanks to Nirvana Fans, a Nirvana Musical Could Happen
Courtney Love, a constant source of entertaining news, told NME that she's reconsidering the possibility of producing a musical about her late husband, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
Courtney Love, a constant source of entertaining news, told NME that she's reconsidering the possibility of producing a musical about her late husband, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
Within the past nine days, late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain has been the subject of massive news reports. 20 years after Cobain's death, Seattle police chose to develop 35mm footage of the death scene and release some of those never-before-seen images to the public. After revealing nine new images yesterday (March 28), even more photos are now seeing the light of day.
Last week, news broke that Seattle police were reviewing the case of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's death. Part of the review included developing 35mm film that had been sitting in a police station vault for 20 years, and although it was reported that photos of Cobain dead would not be released, the Seattle police have reportedly published nine new pictures of Cobain's death scene.
With this year being the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death, the tributes keep coming in for the late Nirvana vocalist. One of the most recent salutes is a new comic book coming from Bluewater Productions that revisits Cobain's accomplishments and life story.
It does our hearts good to see that Nirvana still translates to kids and still seems able to shock a few of them.
The death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain is being reviewed by Seattle police 20 years after the musician's death, and KIRO 7 Eyewitness News has unveiled a photo from the death scene that's never before been made public (see below).
An incredibly ambitious project has been undertaken by a Nirvana fan from Portland, Oregon. Journalist Jaime Dunkle recently discovered that late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's childhood home was on the market, and with this discovery, Dunkle began an effort to purchase the house and turn it into a museum.
Over the weekend, it was reported that former Nirvana drummer Chad Channing, who manned the kit for the band's debut album, 'Bleach,' would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl. However, according to a new message sent by the Rock Hall, Channing will not be included in Nirvana's induction.
Update: Chad Channing will not be entering the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the other members of Nirvana. Read about why there was confusion in our latest story on the matter.
While many recognize Nirvana as Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, the band actually had other members along the way, and one of those members will join Nirvana when they're inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.
On Sept. 13, 1993, Nirvana released what would become their final studio album, 'In Utero.' The influence of 'In Utero' and the rest of Nirvana's discography are still very present, and many celebrated rock and metal acts have teamed up to record 'In Utero: In Tribute' just in time for Record Store Day.

Ever wondered why Peter had a problem with pearls (1 Peter 3:3) and why both Peter and Paul took issue with braids? In 1 Timothy, Paul wrote, "I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, but rather by means of good works, as befits women making a claim to godliness" (1 Tim 2:9–10).
Let's start with the pearls. Contemporary access to affordable costume jewelry and cubic zirconia combined with the matronly image of pearl-draped Barbara Bush make it difficult for us to imagine what a strong class statement a first-century woman made when she publicly displayed her dowry's worth of oyster products. But pearls were the first-century woman's diamonds, and they were all real.
Pulitzer-winning biographer Stacy Schiff in her new and impressive biography, Cleopatra: A Life, tells how Caesar once gifted a mistress with a pearl worth the cumulative annual wages of 1,200 professional soldiers. The cover of Schiff's book features Cleopatra's dark Greek hair—she was, after all, a Ptolemy, not an Egyptian—studded with pearls. The fact that Ephesus (where Timothy was when Paul's letter arrived—see 1 Tim. 1:3) was a city on the Aegean coast means it probably had a particularly healthy trade in sea-jewels.
And then there are braids. When we think about first-century women in Europe and Asia Minor sporting them, images of the Amish and perhaps even Pippi Longstocking or Dorothy of Oz cloud our imaginations. We might choose words such as "childish" and even "ultra-conservative" to describe women with braids, based on what such adornment might mean for straight-haired women in our culture. But imagine a head of fine locks wrapped in intricate creations that required slave labor and leisure time (a luxury) to get it "done" every few days. To maintain such a style meant a woman belonged to the ruling or upper class, with the accompanying benefits of power and rank. That is, braids were symbols of rank as much as wealth.
While we're tackling the list, let's add apparel. Women in Ephesus were probably particularly clothes-conscious. The Ephesian agora was loaded with exquisite silk and wool in a rainbow of colors. The temple of Artemis in their city was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the goddess's statue was probably kept clothed in dazzling fabrics, thanks to Homer. He wrote that when Artemis sat on her father's lap seeking comfort, she was "dressed in immortal garments."
So Paul objected to materialism and sexually provocative apparel. But it appears he had an additional consideration in mind when discussing pearls, braids, and elaborate clothes. These were also emblems of power. And you don't wear your symbols of power in a place where Jew, Gentile, male, female, slave and free worship together. If you're godly, you're discreet about class.
My source for the semiotic findings is Kelly Olson's 2008 illustrated monograph, Dress and the Roman Woman: Self-Presentation and Society. The book does not deal with the biblical texts—I've extrapolated from Olson's conclusions. But she's given us the fullest and most recent information in English on the subject of Roman women's apparel, supported with evidence from sculptures, inscriptions, coins, everyday ware—even wig fragments. And the ramifications for understanding biblical backgrounds are significant.
Olson demonstrates that when the average Roman woman in antiquity stepped outside her home, her apparel and hairstyle sent visual signals to all who saw her about her rank (citizen, freeborn, slave), her marital status, in some cases her age, and even her moral status. Then and there, even more than here and now, dress meant representation.
As Paul and Peter suggest, our hair, jewelry, and clothing do reveal who and Whose we are. Does your style say you're approachable or intimidating, proud or humble, discreet or ostentatious, provocative or pure?

Seeing your town or city by bike is a great way to get to know it. Join us on some great urban routes this summer.
All about Sky Ride Local
Sky Ride Local rides are guided by friendly British Cycling Ride Leaders along scenic planned routes. With different levels, there's something for everyone – whether you're building your confidence or already comfortable on a bike and looking for a challenge.
This year, discover more with Sky Ride Local on one our new themed bike rides – all free to join:
Wildlife & wilderness
You don't have to be in the middle of nowhere to enjoy getting off the beaten track. Join us on rides which visit local nature reserves, urban farms and conservation areas, and let our Ride Leaders show you their favourite places for spotting birds, deer, and other animals.
History & heritage
Add an extra dimension to your ride by exploring the places that have shaped your area's history. Our History & Heritage rides visit steam railways, museums, blue plaques, statues, castles, stately homes, industrial heritage, and plenty of interesting architecture.
Local pride
From black pudding shops to the last resting place of kings; from the birthplace of celebrities to the home of sporting legends... every place has something which makes it special. Follow our Ride Leaders as they show off their favourite local features and hidden gems.
Waterways & woodlands
Whether you're in town or out in the country, these rides are a great way to get a fresh new perspective. Urban canals, rural rivers, lakes and reservoirs all make brilliant riding. And our off-road routes through woods or forests are perfect for getting away from it all.
City streets & park life
Seeing your town or city by bike is a great way to really get to know it. Join us on parkland paths, traffic-free circuits and some great new bike lanes. Explore quiet roads and get some tips on great routes for commuting by bike.
Eat, drink, ride
If there's one thing cyclists love, it's food and drink! We've uncovered routes visiting great local producers, from ice cream factories to pie makers, from farmers' markets to fish & chip shops. And of course there are some cracking cafe stops – perfect for a chat over a coffee and cake.

Seeing your town or city by bike is a great way to get to know it. Join us on some great urban routes this summer.
Are you up for an autumn challenge?
Gorgeous longer rides that are a great way to keep cycling through November.
Get closer to the Tour of Britain
Don't just watch the race – make a day of it and get out on your bike with us.
Whatever your age, level of fitness or confidence, we've got a great ride for you.
All Sky Ride Local rides are led by British Cycling trained Ride Leaders – real cycling enthusiasts who know the routes and can encourage and guide you along the way.
Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Easygoing rides are great for all abilities and ages, taking place along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes.
If you're fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way.
You don't have to be the next Bradley Wiggins, but you'll need to be fairly fit to take part in Challenging rides. As well as covering a good distance, there may well be a few hills along the way! If you fancy a fresh challenge, these rides are perfect for you.
How much does it cost to participate in a Sky Ride?
All Sky Ride events are absolutely free!
Is there a rider minimum age? Do I need parental/guardian consent?
The minimum age for Easygoing and Steady rides is five years old. Children aged under five can join in these two levels as long as they are appropriately strapped into an approved (BSI standard) child seat or trailer.
The minimum age for Challenging rides is 11 years old. If you provide a false age to make your child old enough for the ride your child will not be covered by our insurance should there be an accident.
With regards to parental/guardian consent, the policy is as follows:
- Under 16s – classed as minors, must be registered by and accompanied by a parent/guardian. There is a limit of four minors to one adult and that adult is responsible for and must remain with those minors at all times
- Aged 18 and over – classed as adults, able to register themselves and attend on their own
- Aged 16 and 17 – classed as adults, but only able to register them-selves only and therefore cannot register or be responsible for any minors (under 16s). Those aged 16 and 17 can attend the event on their own as they are classed as adults.
- If a minor turns up with another adult/guardian aged 18 or over to take part in Sky Ride Local, it is assumed through acceptance of the terms and conditions the adult/guardian responsible for the minor will have the minor's parental consent to their participation on the ride.
What types of routes can I expect?
All routes will be fun, safe and interesting with the distance, duration and terrain of the ride varying according to the four colour coded levels.
How do I know which level is right for me?
There's a Sky Ride Local for everyone. The three levels are Easygoing, Steady and Challenging. To help you decide which level of ride you'd enjoy the most, take a look at the ride level descriptions by clicking the 'levels' tab above. If you're still unsure, then please get in touch via the 'Contact Us' section on the website.
How fit do I have to be?
Sky Ride Local is for everyone, however fit you are. None of the rides are a race so even if you're not the fittest person in the world you can still have a go. Just take it easy and select the right level and associated pace for you. If you're still unsure pick the entry level ride which is Ride Easy and if you find it too easy choose a Ride Steady next time. You will also be able to speak to the Ride Leaders when you are on a ride they will be able to advise you of which other rides will be suitable for you.
Where exactly will the Sky Ride Local rides take place in my city or town?
All routes will be within the local authority boundary and close surrounding areas. The routes and schedules are planned so that there are a variety of ride levels every weekend and that the ride levels are evenly distributed across the city or town over the course of the summer.
How do I register for a Sky Ride Local?
Simply go to the Ride Finder in the top navigation, put in your post code or location in and all your nearest available rides will appear. Find a ride that suits your ability, check your diary and click register! Confirmation and reminder emails will be sent to participants prior to the ride for which they have registered. If you supply your mobile number we will send you a quick text reminder a few days before the ride.
Can I sign up for more than one Sky Ride Local?
Yes, absolutely. Whether you take part in one, two or more Sky Ride Local rides depends entirely upon you! Please remember to cancel your place if you can't make it so that some one else can have your place.
The ride I want to go on is full. What can I do?
Even if the ride you want to go on is full, why not register your interest anyway and if anybody cancels their place or new places are created we will let you know. Alternatively you could look for another ride with available places. Ride availability is shown for every ride.
How do I cancel my pre-booked place on a Sky Ride Local?
If for whatever reason you can't make it, simply log back in with your username and password. Go to your dashboard, find the ride in your 'Ride Diary' section and click cancel. You will automatically receive a cancellation email by way of confirmation. You can also cancel via SMS if you provide us with your mobile details when you register or update your personal profile.
What if I turn up on the day without registering?
If we've got space for you to join in on the day, then of course you can come along. We'll just need you to complete your registration details with the Ride Leader on the day and accept the terms and conditions like everyone else.
If the ride is at full capacity then unfortunately you won't be able to take part. It may seem boring of us but our health & safety people wouldn't be too happy plus you won't be covered by insurance if there is an accident. To avoid missing out please register in advance.
Who leads Sky Ride Local?
Specially trained and very friendly Ride Leaders from the lovely people at British Cycling lead the way on Sky Ride Local, so you'll always be in safe hands. Once you have chosen a ride you fancy, you have the opportunity to 'Meet the Leaders' via the goskyride.com website. Find out how long you're Leader has been involved in cycling and what expertise/interests they have. Also featured will be a recent photograph of each of your Leaders so that you can easily recognise their friendly face on the day!
What equipment do I need as a Sky Ride participant?
Participants will be expected to have:
i) A bike
All bikes used for a Sky Ride Local need to:
- be in good working order
- have fully inflated tyres
- have two brakes that work or be fitted with a front brake if a fixed wheel bike
- be an appropriate size to allow the rider to participate safely in the session
- be appropriate to the environment, surface conditions and activity.
NOTE: Bikes without brakes are not considered safe or appropriate.
The Ride Leaders will undertake a simple bike check at the start of the ride but are not mechanics so won't be able to work miracles!
ii) Puncture Repair Kit and/or spare tubes
An appropriate puncture repair kit and/or spare tubes that fit the bike being used.
Please note that Ride Leaders are not required to supply you with spare tubes.
iii) Bike Pump
An appropriate bike pump (with valves if necessary) that fits the bike tyres being used.
The above will be communicated to registering participants at the point of registration and through the reminder emails.
Do I need to wear a helmet?
All Ride Leaders and any individual under the age of 18 (including those in child seats and trailers) participating in Sky Ride Local must wear a helmet that:
- conforms to a recognised standard
- is undamaged
- is in good condition
- is the correct size for the rider
- is correctly fitted and worn by the rider.
For those aged over 18 the wearing of helmets conforming to the above standards is strongly recommended.
What clothes should I wear?
Comfortable and safe ones!
All riders must wear appropriate clothing. Clothing should meet the following criteria:
- be appropriate for the activity, environment and weather conditions, taking into consideration any possible changes in the weather (remember we do live in the UK and therefore the weather is changeable!)
- not be too loose or baggy as it can get caught in the moving parts of the bike
- trousers and tracksuit bottoms should be tucked in to your socks to prevent them becoming entangled in the chain
- shoes/trainers must be worn, with laces tucked in.
You may want to consider wearing cycling gloves but this is not compulsory.
Riders wearing inadequate or inappropriate clothing will not be allowed to participate in the ride due to them being deemed unsafe and a risk to themselves and others.
What else should I bring?
It is recommended that participants also bring:
- food and water/drink
- money
- mobile phone if you have one.
What happens if my bike breaks during the ride or I have an accident?
Please bring any incident or broken bikes to the attention of your Ride Leader who will be able to administer first aid if necessary and/or assess whether your bike can be fixed immediately. If the bike can't be fixed or you are unable to continue the ride for whatever reason the Ride Leader will agree what course of action to take with your consent.
Am I insured whilst taking part in a Sky Ride?
Official participant registration on the ride includes insurance cover. This covers third party liability, but not personal injuries cover. If you register on the day (due to there being an available space) you will be covered by insurance as long as you have signed the appropriate register and agreed to the terms and conditions.

What do you do if you're trying to hawk the Xbox One on late-night talk shows? You can't show the gory, crotch-laser killfest of Dead Rising 3 or the slice-an-arm-off combat of Ryse: Son of Rome, both of which seem to be the better games for the new console. No, no, you have to go with Kinect. And with Forza. And… »
No matter how stupid that water gun looks, it looks badass in the hands of Jason Statham. He was Jimmy Fallon's guest on yesterday's Late Night, where they played a traditional card game—but with water and guns added. Sounds fun! »

I didn't know there was a bad side to watching Breaking Bad, yet here's Late Night's Jimmy Fallon weighing in with his pros and cons. Los Santos County and Trevor's little business in GTA V already have a lot in common with AMC's drama, but this will end all doubts. »

Earlier tonight, chiptune-rock band Anamanaguchi performed their hit song Endless Fantasy on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. And now I've got a sudden hankering for some space pizza. »
For their Video Games Week, the crew of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon created a custom game reference-packed intro for the show. They managed to fit in quite a lot, for a thirty-three second clip—including the obligatory chiptune soundtrack. Neat! Check it out above. »

Microsoft's Phil Spencer comes across as more of an infomercial guy than a talk show guest here in this stint on Jimmy Fallon earlier tonight, but hey, he's not the focus here. The Xbox One and some games are. Namely Killer Instinct and Forza 5. »

Video Description:
It is not uncommon for the odd girl here and there to dabble in the murky world of porn, earn a little money and then return to their normal lives. One such girl was the lovely Amber, who having performed with me, returned to her village and was greeted by a baying mob holding flaming torches and chanting, "Die porno bitch, die!" Such is life in quiet English country towns, dens of hypocracy and bigotry. Anyway, I discovered that Amber had moved to a new village and was now holding down a job as a travel agent. So what better time for me to perform my, "Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!" challenge on her, I suppose I could have called it my "Tora!, Tora!,Tora!", challenge, kind of sounds better, don't you think?

KDL Description:
The second original book to be published since Silverstein's passing in 1999, this poetry collection includes more than one hundred and thirty never-before-seen poems and drawings completed by the cherished American artist and selected by his family from his archives.
Amazon Description:
A spider lives inside my head
Who weaves a strange and wondrous web
Of silken threads and silver strings
To catch all sorts of flying things,
Like crumbs of thought and bits of smiles
And specks of dried-up tears,
And dust of dreams that catch and cling
For years and years and years . . .
Have you ever read a book with everything on it? Well, here it is, an amazing collection of never-before-published poems and drawings from the creator of Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, and Falling Up. You will say Hi-ho for the toilet troll, get tongue-tied with Stick-a-Tongue-Out-Sid, play a highly unusual horn, and experience the joys of growing down.
What's that? You have a case of the Lovetobutcants? Impossible! Just come on in and let the magic of Shel Silverstein bend your brain and open your heart.

MFA: Media Arts (Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM))The Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM) is an incubator; a place where concept precedes medium.
MassArt will not be accepting applications to the Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM) MFA program at this time. The college has recently undertaken the construction of a new Design and Media Center in the heart of the campus and we feel that a year from now our resources will far exceed what we can offer students during construction.
While our campus expands, the SIM department continues to make work, teach classes, host events and re-imagine how art, design, culture and technology intersect in meaningful ways. We invite you to stay connected. Please visit us on campus and check our events at sim.massart.edu.
The Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM) is a place where ideas grow into new art forms. SIM art overlaps and intersects disciplines. It is fluid, embracing emerging technologies and experimentation. SIM is project and concept centered and depends on the exchange of experience, knowledge and curiosities of a community of students and faculty. The 60 credit full-time MFA program explores web art and digital distribution; video editing and production; interactive media and computer-controlled installations; dance composition and improvisation; performance art and spoken word; the interrelationship between art and science; technical theater and stage lighting; and sound performance, composition, recording, and editing.
The faculty of the SIM MFA Program are practicing artists in computer-controlled media, video production, Internet art, and electronic music. Advisors work with students to develop an individualized plan of study, helping students develop their own concepts while gaining proficiency in the media needed to realize them: performance art, programming, curatorial, robotics, event production, installation, sound/music, writing, research, animation, and more. Students may also choose a second adjunct advisor from across the college, from other fields (curator, critic, scientist, etc.), or even from other schools (MIT, Harvard) to review work.
SIM graduates are uniquely prepared as self-motivated artists and/or professionals in commercial and non-profit fields. SIM grads have started their own galleries, TV shows, and businesses; worked as non-linear film and sound editors in Hollywood, New York, and Boston (WGBH, ZOOM); as stage crew for theaters in New York City; as web developers for award-winning studios; as educators at Harvard, Stanford, Mills, Carnegie Mellon, and the New England Aquarium; and as practicing, exhibiting, and/or performing artists around the world.
Visiting artists and curators often participate in critiques and studio visits. Recent guests of the SIM program include: Camillo Alvarez, Nayland Blake, Pieranna Cavalchini, Fabio Fernandez, George Fifield, Jamie Lidell, Tristan Lowe, Louisa McCall, Shintaro Miyake, Pat Oleszko, Paul Pfeiffer, Meg Rotzel, Michael Rush, Susan Stoops, Mary Ellen Strom, Carrie Mae Weems, Ean White, and Gale Wight.
Students receive individual studio space and access to a million square feet of fabrication, installation, and exhibition potential. MassArt's facilities are epic in scale: an electronic projects lab, state-of-the-art computer and imaging labs, the largest print studio in New England, one of only five Polroid 20 X 24 cameras in the world, metal and wood fabrication shops, a metal forge and foundry, walk-in ceramic kilns, fiber facilities, hot and cold glass shops, and more.

35 year old man | Aiea, HI, USA | Seeking women 22-40 within 50 miles
Looking for a partner to ride shotgun...
I'm a goofy guy with a soft side. For example, I'd probably be in pieces if/when I lost my pets, but if someone farted in church I'd be the first one to start cracking up. :-) Google the Onion News network if you don't know what that is already - that's EXACTLY what my sense of humor is! :-) -I love traveling - especially if it involves scuba diving or skiing! -I'm learning more about cooking and wine, but I don't plan on going pro any time soon. I guess you could call my diet, "vegetarian when convenient"....I can't give up steak or fish for good, I just have them in moderation. -The highest peak I've ever been on is the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island. -The greatest view I've ever had was looking into the eyes of a pilot whale as it swam by. -The greatest glass of wine I've ever had was on a boat while at anchor in the Witu Islands of Papua New Guinea in the Bismark Sea.....I can't remember the type of wine it was - it was more about the overall experience of the moment. The one thing that could have made all those memories even better would be to have someone to share it with. I have gained wisdom in the last few years as to the woman that's right for me - I guess you could say I've learned what my "type" is. But I still revel in the fact that I could be completely wrong and you never know who's out there that's right for you. As you might've guessed, I'm more of an "off the beaten path" "road less traveled" kind of guy. I do have conventional hopes and dreams though. I don't live and die each day on whether or not there's a woman in my life - but sometimes I catch myself thinking about how nice it would be to have someone to spend each day with and do the things I do now, just in the company of someone who will always be there. I have strong family values, even though I don't live close to my parents - I do talk to them at least once a week.....they're like my best friends. It's my hope that my match also has and appreciates family values. I genuinely enjoy the simple act of taking a woman out for a nice evening, opening the door for her, being a gentlemen, etc. Even if it doesn't go past a first date - I can still reflect in the fact that we both had a pleasent evening. :-) Message me if you want to know more. :-)
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Football, Golf, Hockey, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Birds, Other
I own a rabbit and a bird - they are pretty cool companions. They like watching sports with me, horsing around and begging for food :-) Yeah yeah I know what you're thinking...."single guy with a rabbit and bird? WTF??" Maybe I'm a trend setter :-)
Fine dining is definitely a great way to enjoy the finer things in life. Any place with great steak or seafood with a killer glass of wine is on my top 10 list. Top of Waikiki is currently my #1 favorite spot.
I love anything comedy both on TV and movies. I'm becoming a better cook, I love to grill, and make a mean salad too! My goal for this decade is to become more well versed in my knowledge of wine and maybe take a dance class with my wife/girlfriend.
I'm a travelin' man. I always try to have a trip on the books - and it usually involves scuba diving or skiing. I love the water, especially the world under it! I also love running, working out, and long drives with the top down on the convertible.
Diving the World - by Beth and Shaun Tierney. A great guide book about the hottest dive spots the world has to offer. I knew most of them anyways, but it was fun to get another person's perspective. I also read alot of cisco network engineering books

A friend who is lactose intolerant (which I am gluten and lactose intolerant) suggested I try Tofutti's Lactose Free Better than Cream Cheese. She said it tasted really good, so I thought I'd give it a try. At the store I read the ingredients: no lactose, good. Nothing dangerously wheat sounding in there, good.
Well, this is before I find out maltodextrin could possibly be a non-no. Last night I have some on crackers and it is REALLY good! Before I get past the third one, my stomach is experiencing that very familiar "rumble". I run to the kitchen and see the "maltodextrin" on the label. I'd thought maltodextrin was a "maybe" if it was made in the US, which it looks like it is. Even the web says it's gluten-free. But I was on the potty all night and this morning isn't any better.
Has anyone else reacted to this before? :blink:
I have tried their products more than once and have gotten bowel discomfort lasting for a day. Sometimes it doesn't seem to bother me and then if I have it very often I do not feel well at all so end up throwing it out.

Originally written on Larry Brown Sports | Last updated 3/25/13
Baltimore Ravens fans have watched their Super Bowl champion defense basically fall apart over the offseason. Ray Lewis has retired and Ed Reed, Paul Kruger, Dannell Ellerbe, and Cary Williams have all left via free agency. That means Baltimore will have an entirely new look on defense, but fans will be happy to know that the makeover now includes the addition of Elvis Dumervil. According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, Dumveril and the Ravens have agreed to a five-year deal worth a reported $35 million. Dumervil is a few years older than Kruger, but the former Denver Bronco has 63.5 sacks in his career and is considered one of the best pass rushers in the game. Does he make the Ravens a dream team? Defensive lineman Arthur Jones seems to think so. "That's awesome. It's like a dream team in the making," Jones said of the trade, via the Baltimore Sun's Aaron Wilson. "I can't wait until we all get together." Dumervil, who was released on March 15 after his revised contract with the Broncos was not faxed in time, is arguably the best free agent signing of the offseason. That being said, the Ravens will still have a ton of adjustments to make after losing their biggest leaders on defense in Lewis and Reed. Winning back-to-back Super Bowls is difficult enough, let alone doing so with a totally revamped defense. Moreover, doesn't Jones realize that the words "dream team" are the worst ones he can possibly use? Remember what Vince Young and Jason Babin said about the Eagles before the start of the 2011 season? We all see how that has worked out. Jones probably should have found a different way to express his excitement.

I usually don't enjoy streetmosphere entertainment too much, although I believe it truly adds to the theme of an area. When walking through PP this last week, I was extremely impressed with the performers, not because of whatever act they were putting on, but because they added so much to the atmosphere of PP. It really added to the overall appeal of PP and frankly, it made me enjoy it more. It felt "lived in" for once, a feeling I've never gotten from that area before. Ever.
Disney- please keep the roaming PP acts. No need for the stage, but having two performers out or so like Buena Vista street would be AWESOME!!!

2 center spots, 4 winger spots, 4 defensemen spots, 2 utility, 4 bench, 2 goaltender spots. (18 total)
I have:
4 centers
5 wingers
6 defensemen
3 goaltenders
Only 2 center, 4 wingers, 4 defensemen get counted..
Should I drop Mikko Koivu, Paul Stastny, Joni Pitkanen, or Ryan Suter for a winger?
I'd give up Koivu but I'm not sure if Stastny won't have that killer bounce back season.. I'd give up Pitkanen, but Suter's +/- scares me.. I'd give up Stastny but he might have a huge bounce back.. and I'd give up Suter but Pitkanen is inconsistent and I'd prefer it if I had 6 defensemen, 6 wingers, 3 centers, and 3 goaltenders.

Briefly: School bus safety
As part of National School Bus Safety Week, the Texas Department of Public Safety is urging drivers to obey state law by not passing any school bus that is stopped and operating a visual signal — either flashing red lights or a stop sign.
In addition, Texas Highway Patrol troopers will be increasing their efforts to catch drivers who break the law.
This week troopers in North Texas will be riding on or following school buses to catch motorists who disregard the law. Troopers also will be patrolling areas where school buses pick up and drop off students, Drivers who violate the law could face fines up to $1,250, which was increased in September by new legislation.

Blue Jackets couldn't have scripted franchise's first playoff home win any better
Apr 23, 2014, 11:04 PM EDT
While much will be made of Pittsburgh's shortcomings and Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury's questionable play towards the end of Game 4 on Wednesday, the fact remains that the Columbus Blue Jackets never quit and they were rewarded for their persistence with a 4-3 overtime victory.
The Blue Jackets down 3-0 midway through the first period, just days after blowing a 3-1 lead to the Penguins. They had every reason to be demoralized. Instead Columbus earned its franchise's first playoff victory at home and tied the series at two in the process.
"You don't want to script this game going down 3-0…but you can't script a better finish," Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards said, per the team's Twitter account.
The Blue Jackets' night does feel like something out of a story. Brandon Dubinsky tied the contest with just 24 seconds remaining in regulation.
"You guys mind if I go ahead and win this thing?" asked Nick Foligno during the intermission, according to the Blue Jackets' Rob Mixer.
Then he went out and did just that.
The Blue Jackets' franchise history is filled with disappointments. They never could capitalize on Rick Nash. They could never get Steve Mason back on track after his Calder Trophy winning season.
The franchise started playing in 2000 and they hadn't won a playoff contest going into this series, but that's in the past now and the team's future looks brighter.
- maalea - Apr 23, 2014 at 11:13 PM
Even if they don't win the series, they are giving their fans their money's worth.
- kaptaanamerica - Apr 24, 2014 at 6:34 AM
If you recall ppl i said Columbus would make the playoffs and make some noise in the east.. in'd go ahead and insert the quote but, …. You know

- 7mantel - Apr 24, 2014 at 8:33 AM
Hey Bill this is a sports forum ! lol
- pitpenguinsrulez - Apr 23, 2014 at 11:14 PM
Jackets are a team with ZERO pressure, ZERO favoritism, ZERO anything just about. They have nothing to lose in this series. I look at their two shorthanded goals like this; if it's the Regular Season those goals aren't scored more than likely but come playtime and with nothing to lose, they've got nothing to lose by going for it, etc.

Damn, Dubinsky is playing Conn Smythe level hockey.
- barkar942 - Apr 24, 2014 at 12:04 AM
Dubinsky showed some signs of excellence as a player in NY, but wasn't living up to expectations at the time. He has started to flourish with a little less media attention in Columbus, and I am glad to see him playing well.
- contraryguy - Apr 23, 2014 at 11:53 PM
Other local sports folks quoted Foligno as saying something else (but similar) to what's said above… doesn't matter. He's ready, the rest of the team is ready. Bob has some attention issues, but the CBJ can get past that. (They did with Mason…) The town is live and loving this team.
OT: 4-3 in all 4 games? WTF are the odds of that?
- nothanksimdriving123 - Apr 24, 2014 at 3:54 AM
"4-3 in all 4 games? WTF are the odds of that?"
Not a math wizard here, but I'll guess the odds were about the same as they were in 1970 when the Hawks swept the Wings in their quarterfinal series 4-0 and won each game 4-2.
- r8rbhawk - Apr 24, 2014 at 12:15 AM
Kudos to the CBJ fans. It seemed like they were standing the whole game. Both teams played an extra 10 seconds at the end of the third cuz no one could hear the whistle. Good on 'em.
- mackattack29 - Apr 24, 2014 at 12:22 AM
I'm an avs fan but if the avs get booted in any round and CBJ, is still in it. I'm jumping on that bandwagon. What an exciting team. And Johansen and Calvert are 20 kinds of special. Along with most of their roster but those two as well as obviously dubinsky are my favorites from really most of the eastern conference so far these playoffs.
- schlitzy - Apr 24, 2014 at 1:22 AM
I missed this game unfortunately but I watched game three and I have to say I was really impressed with the Columbus crowd. sounds like it was the same way tonight. very lively enthusiastic crowd. glad to see they finally have good reason to cheer…until (if) they faceoff against my Rangers.
- dtownbeatdown - Apr 24, 2014 at 1:44 AM
Columbus fans just have been itching for this for years. That place just looked like a lot of fun tonight. Good for the Jackets, their fans, and hockey in general.
- rushledger - Apr 24, 2014 at 3:17 AM
As a penguins fan I'm obviously disappointed from our side of things, but I'm happy it was foligno who scored Columbus's first home playoff winner ever. He came over from Ottawa, believed in their team that it was going to go in the right direction, not to mention how tough it had to be to finally achieve that playoff clinch and miss the first two, must have felt ourstanding.
- nothanksimdriving123 - Apr 24, 2014 at 4:04 AM
Whenever I hear about a cool prediction like Foligno's I always wonder how many guys over the years have made similar OT assertions that we never hear about because someone else scored and their teammates don't want to embarrass them.
- 7mantel - Apr 24, 2014 at 8:40 AM
Pen's are resting on their Laurals !

- dmarado - Apr 24, 2014 at 9:01 AM
As a fan of all things Ohio (except the Bengals) this game was the greatest thing in the history of history. For once "we" came out on on top. If CBJ don't win the series, I'm Ok with that, they still garnered a bunch of new fans. Hopefully those people revelling in this win will come to Nationwide next year and support the team. What a great crowd last night!
- flyboystransport - Apr 24, 2014 at 9:19 AM
This was a fun game to watch if you aren't a fan of either team
- dutchman1350 - Apr 24, 2014 at 10:39 AM
JD came to town and said "brick by brick"…dude is a Master Mason. This style is nothing new. They have been pounding teams all season. Finally paying some huge dividends.
- neonpep - Apr 24, 2014 at 11:08 AM
I'm glad to see the Blue Jackets enjoying some success, and I'm even more glad they are giving Pittsburgh a hard time!
- 2qswing - Apr 24, 2014 at 12:01 PM
Wow was that fun last night. Win or lose this series, this is an easy team to like. Been a ticket holder for 5 years. The effort was always there but they just could not compete. This year and last hs been a different story.
A quick note. I know Scott Howson took a lot of heat while here and most of it deserved. But you look up and down this roster and for the most part these players were acquired under his regime. I would make the Nash trade today and that's not to put Rick down. He's a world class player but wanted out. Bob, Jack, Calvert, Atkinson, Nikitin, Wiz, Johansen, Foligno, Murray, Anisimov, Dubinski, Prout, Savard, Jenner. All under Howson.
Much respect to the Pens. This series is 2-2 and far from over either way.
- kaptaanamerica - Apr 24, 2014 at 12:49 PM
That Nash trade isn't looking so bad now is it?
- jacketsfan7 - Apr 24, 2014 at 3:45 PM
Ahhhhh I love all this CBJ talk, 14 years of waiting seems worth it now
Sound pathetic but I'm so happy with how things have played out so far
- anirayne33 - Apr 24, 2014 at 11:23 PM
I love this group of misfits. I couldn't ask for a better season. This team has pulled me through a difficult point in my life and I love them for it.
